Verbal Warning

This week on Verbal Warning, things get… surprisingly musical.

No big debates, no life-changing revelations—just the boys kicking back, talking absolute nonsense, and somehow turning half the episode into an unofficial singing session. What starts as a chilled hangout quickly spirals into questionable vocals, random song throwbacks, and the kind of confidence you only get when no one asked you to sing in the first place.

There’s no real structure here—and that’s exactly the point. It’s raw, it’s loose, and it feels like you’ve just walked into a room where your mates are mid-conversation, mid-laugh, and mid-butchered chorus. Expect off-the-cuff jokes, random tangents, and at least a few moments where someone genuinely thinks they’re hitting a note… and absolutely isn’t.

If you’re here for polished content, this probably isn’t your episode. But if you want something easy, chaotic, and weirdly entertaining, this is Verbal Warning at its most natural.

Press play, lower your expectations for musical talent, and enjoy the ride.

You’ve been warned.

We kick things off with Josh casually admitting he’s been sleepwalking like he’s got a second life nobody approved. Not just harmless wandering either—this bloke’s out here acting like a side character in a horror movie while fully unconscious. Naturally, that spirals into “what if he just leaves one night and never comes back?” which somehow feels very possible.

Then we dive into the Bus Mystery™—a story that raises more questions than answers and solves exactly none of them. Suspicious behaviour, questionable decisions, and a level of confusion that should honestly be studied.

From there, we hit op-shopping, where the boys debate whether it’s treasure hunting or just willingly buying someone else’s bad decisions. Expect strong opinions, questionable fashion takes, and at least one item that should’ve stayed buried.

Things take a surprisingly deep turn when we discuss whether we’d actually give our lives to save our friends… which quickly gets derailed by people not trusting each other at all.

Josh then attempts “Guess That Song,” which goes about as well as you’d expect—confidence through the roof, accuracy absolutely not.

We somehow end up analysing a kookaburra picture like it’s evidence in a court case, introduce the world to “Peeetah” for no clear reason, and debate the phenomenon known only as “rain piss” (don’t ask, just experience it).

And to top it all off—cactus worship. Yes, it’s exactly as unhinged as it sounds.

No structure, no logic, just chaos.

You’ve been warned.

This week on Preserve the Peace, we made the bold decision to invite two Tristans onto the same episode… and then immediately lost control of the entire situation. No nicknames, no system, just pure confusion. Every time someone says “Tristan,” both of them answer, no one knows who’s being spoken to, and somehow arguments start for no reason. It’s less of a podcast and more of a social experiment gone wrong.

We also get deep into the latest episode of Invincible, where things are heating up as we start the official countdown to the Viltrumite War wrapping up. We break it down like experts for about 30 seconds before it turns into yelling, bad predictions, and one of the Tristans acting like he personally knows the writers.

In between all that, it’s just straight chaos—random stories, terrible takes, and conversations that start somewhere normal and end up in places that should probably be studied. At one point, for reasons still unclear, we gave Tristan a full barber shop beard shave mid-episode. No professionalism, no plan, just vibes and questionable technique. If you’ve ever wanted grooming advice from people who shouldn’t be trusted with scissors, this is your moment.

We also somehow turned red P’s into a full-blown debate like it’s a national issue, with strong opinions, zero facts, and a shocking amount of confidence. It’s loud, it’s messy, and it absolutely spirals out of control in the best way possible.

Honestly, if you can keep track of which Tristan is talking at any given moment, you deserve a prize.

Episode 41 is basically us attempting to fix our lives… or at least talking about it like we will. We dive into fitness, weight loss, and the brutal reality of trying to stay consistent when your brain would rather sit on the couch and order food.

We get into what actually works, what’s a complete scam, and why “I’ll start Monday” is the biggest lie ever told. From gym struggles to motivation falling off after 3 days, we break down the difference between people who actually get results and people who just keep talking about it (we’ve been both).

There’s also plenty of self-exposure—calling ourselves out on bad habits, lack of discipline, and the random moments where everything falls apart for no reason. It’s not a motivational seminar, it’s more like a reality check with a few laughs in between.

Naturally, the episode goes completely off the rails multiple times. There’s general shit talk, random side stories, and conversations that somehow go from fitness advice to absolute nonsense in seconds. Standard Verbal Warning behaviour.

We also tee up what’s coming next, with Invincible Tristan locked in for the Friday episode. If you’ve listened before, you already know that’s either going to be quality content or an absolute disaster… probably both.

This week on Verbal Warning, we kick things off talking music — the kind that hits, the kind that misses, and everything in between. From random tracks to questionable takes, it quickly turns into the usual chaos.

Then things take a turn…

We somehow end up defending the Viltrum Empire — were they actually that bad, or are we just asking questions no one should be asking?

We dive into a Games Spotlight, breaking down what we’ve been playing lately and what’s worth your time (and what’s absolutely not).

After that, we throw it back to the golden days with hide and seek stories — the elite hiding spots, the dodgy tactics, and the moments that probably should’ve ended friendships.

And just when you think it couldn’t get more cooked… Queensland steps in and somehow labels Two Strong Hearts as hate speech. Yeah… we try to make sense of that one.

We wrap things up with some raw reactions, classic back-and-forth, and the kind of chat that only makes sense after a couple of beers.

Same chaos. Same nonsense.

It’s Verbal Warning.

This week on Verbal Warning, we’re all over the shop in the best way possible.

We kick things off deep in the wild west with a proper dive into Red Dead Redemption 2 — the greatest game ever made or are we just blinded by cowboy delusion? Honour, chaos, and why everyone secretly wants to be Arthur Morgan.

From there, things escalate quickly… because once Chuck Norris enters the chat, it’s game over. We break down the most cooked Chuck Norris facts, what’s real, what’s myth, and why the bloke could probably stop the Perth cyclone with a stare.

Speaking of chaos — we unpack the cyclone that just ripped through Perth. The wind, the damage, the absolute carry-on… and how Aussies still find a way to laugh through it.

We also tackle one of life’s most important social rules:

The courtesy wave.

Who deserves it? When do you give it? And what happens if you don’t?

Meanwhile, Josh has officially entered a new era… with a fresh ear piercing that may or may not change him forever. And Dylan’s upgraded the setup with a new gaming chair — meaning things are getting dangerously professional.

It’s chaos, it’s opinions, it’s Verbal Warning.

This week on Verbal Warning… things get weird, colourful, and slightly cursed.

We kick things off with what might be one of the most unexpected purchases in podcast history — The Rainbow Goblins book. What started as a joke quickly turns into a full-blown reading session, as we dive headfirst into the strange, trippy world of goblins, gold, and chaos. Safe to say… this isn’t your average bedtime story.

But that’s just the beginning.

Friday was supposed to be a massive episode — a “preserve the peace” special featuring our mate Tristan. And look… it did happen… just not in the way anyone planned. Let’s just say things got a little too loose, a little too early, and the whole operation was shut down before it even had a chance to get off the ground. What actually went down? You’ll have to tune in — we’ve dropped some clips from the night, and they tell a story of their own.

We also give our honest thoughts on Solo Lime — and yeah… it’s under the microscope. Is it still elite? Or has it lost its touch? We break it down properly.

From there, we drift into music chat — the kind that only makes sense on this podcast. From the dark, gritty sounds of Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds to the smooth, almost surreal vibes of Masayoshi Takanaka, we somehow connect it all back to goblins, chaos, and whatever this podcast has become.

And of course… we couldn’t help ourselves.

We read The Rainbow Goblins out loud for you — voices, energy, the whole thing. It’s part storytelling, part fever dream, and somehow still makes more sense than half the stuff we talk about.

This week on Verbal Warning, things take a strange turn into the world of The Rainbow Goblins… except instead of goblins hunting colours, it feels more like they’ve been hunting the chaos of our lives.

Think of this episode like a lost concept album.

Side A begins with the strange legend of the Rainbow Goblins — the bizarre children’s story that somehow turns into a deep dive about symbolism, weird art, and how something meant for kids ends up feeling like it was written during a fever dream in the 70s.

Then the record scratches…

We return to the Denmark incident — the now infamous trip that keeps getting worse the more details come out. The ocean, the chaos, the birthday trip that almost turned into a rescue operation, and the kind of decisions that only make sense when you’re already halfway into the story.

Side B gets personal.

Dylan opens up about the situation unfolding at home, and let’s just say things aren’t exactly peaceful in the kingdom. From domestic dramas to the kind of life problems you can’t fix with duct tape and a cold beer, the boys try to unpack it the only way they know how — by talking absolute shit and somehow finding meaning in the mess.

By the end of the episode, it feels less like a podcast and more like a weird psychedelic album about friendship, bad decisions, and the goblins that show up in real life when things start going sideways.

So crack a drink, sit back, and press play.

The goblins are listening.

This week on Verbal Warning, the boys try to make sense of a world that feels like it’s getting more cooked by the day.We dive into the situation in the Middle East and how conflicts on the other side of the planet somehow end up hitting everyday Australians right in the wallet. Fuel prices are through the roof, everything’s getting more expensive, and we break down why global chaos seems to trickle down to the servo pump.From there the conversation does what it always does… completely derails.Somehow we end up doing cologne testing live on the pod, debating what actually smells good versus what makes you smell like a nightclub bathroom from 2007. Josh reckons he’s found the ultimate scent, Dylan strongly disagrees, and things get unnecessarily competitive.It’s a mix of world events, questionable fragrance advice, and the usual unfiltered chaos that somehow turns into one of the funniest episodes we’ve recorded.If petrol prices keep climbing, we might have to start recording the podcast from the back of a horse instead of the ute.Welcome back to Verbal Warning.
