In which Beeso and the Doc get into Russ chasing round numbers, Nugs and Blazers swapping spare Balkans, the Batman School of Parenting, where's Williams?, pay to play in F1, shouts to Squires, bad camo uniforms, the Doc's big cans, sex and PB&Js in the NBA, engineering a home advantage, nationally televised reserve grade, footballer maths, fighting with your boobs, electrical tape and sump oil, Australian surfing stories, riding bikes down hills, F1 going digital, the death of rugby union, Smarsh madness, moving the AFL Grand Final, Taumalo-long contracts, Arsenal single-handedly keep an industry aflight, the gig economy in college sports and why Supercars are more woke than F1.

In which Beeso and the Doc discuss why they even have a music podcast, is [genre] dead, the beauty of being Beeso, doing all of the things, making movies, incidental things are incidental, Mashed Banana off your 'nana, action aplenty at the Mr Whippy Grand Prix, double (J) edged swords, unexpected comebacks, no more pop culture for you, contractually obliged mentions of our new podcast feeds, how Discover Weekly's magic algorithm works, music-based social siloing, Jake Hole and the children are our future. This week we reviewed new albums from All Them Witches and Crystal Fairy, with Beeso nominating Decoder Ring's '02 debut as his classic. Next week: Tosca, The Shins and Turbonegro's own After After Dark from 2012. This, next and last week's albums are all on the BALLS After Dark Spotify playlist.

In which Beeso and the Doc talk going bananas in Coffs Harbour, the evolution of Formula 1, RSS interruptus, Subawho?, #V6TSC, pitch perfect prematch coverage, Kimber on Maxwell, use 'em if you got 'em, #BALLS NBA score convergence, Net losses, loose Balls, Coach Down Tony, quantifying feels, chasing lost causes, shooting and chuntering, Lukewarm In Cleveland, black on black, the low seed landscape, 58 seconds of karma, Kimber on wicketkeepers, Kimber on Davey Dum Dum, pantomime Villains, basketball twitter's month of suck, and how to end #MarchMadness for good.

With Beeso off down the coast to watch a bunch of people in lycra touching each other, the Doc is joined by fellow person-who-lives-on-the-internet and massive motorsport nerd @bernietb to discuss Super Yamba, paying to stand in a forest, collectors-item mea culpas, imaginary Kias, back to Bunnings, use your words Shane, Red Bull: good at marketing, gambling on Ludo, Macgyver lighting solutions, being handy with both feet, shark fin soup, flaps, HWRBFDRTY*, where's HAM's head at, low bars vs vodka bars, F1sters at Le Mans, GT convergence, fixing Nascar, what's a Clipsal, what's a Matmut, c'mon Jackie Chan, not being mates with 7Mate, fake reveals, content out ≠ content in and reasons to own a dog. Then in an unexpectedly long old-school After Dark they hit on Lumsden Bumhat: The Truth, highlights of the South Coast Line, golden-era 90s motorsport, hot air balloon races on Fox Sports News, how NASCAR could have prevented the Iraq War, #TimEdwardsWhingeFace and failure-testing Failure Mode.

*The logical evolution of HHRBFDRTW, which is probably somewhere in the rude-version shownote archive on Lantanaland.

In which Beeso and the Doc get into ace-baiting, being boring and obnoxious, this just in: genre is a genre, the Godfather's teachings, American apparel, stop counting, hot slavery takes, high concept, is this a thing?, tapping and hammering, Not Quite Right, Foos of the Stone Age, out of reception, absolutely going off on one about a marginal alt-rock single from 17 years ago, algorithmic feedback loops, could be anything, North Decoder, shouts to Penne from Life Support S1, movement at the station and Beeso's Skype remix. This week's new albums were King Gizzard's Flying Microtonal Banana, Stormzy's Gang Signs and Prayers and QOTSA's debut classic Rated 'R'. Next week Beeso's watching people touching each other and shouting a lot, but the week after we'll be reviewing All Them Witches, Crystal Fairy and Decoder Ring's '02 debut. This, next and last week's albums are all on the BALLS After Dark Spotify playlist. Check out our fave tracks on the After Dark Mixtape for 2017 and 2016.
