We Explained 110%

In our final episode of our Olympic mini-series Tom shares a crazy story from the 2016 Games in Rio. The bronze medal match in the men’s 65 kg freestyle wrestling saw not one but TWO coaches strip down to their underwear to protest the result! Meanwhile, JK tests DJ's and Tom's knowledge of nineteenth century baseball.

In the aftermath of the Sydney 2000 Olympics, Ian Thorpe was arguably the biggest name in Australian Olympics - if not sport. This week, JK tells the story of how the swimming legend almost missed out on making the Athens 2004 Games. Meanwhile, Tom tests the sports knowledge of DJ and JK with a game of category ping-pong.

We continue our countdown to Paris 2024 by re-visiting the 1988 Seoul Olympics where DJ tells us the story about the Olympic boxing referee who had to flee midway through the Games to save his life. Meanwhile, JK tests Tom and DJ's knowledge of gourmet stadium food in a game of Scran or Scam.

Tom continues our countdown to the Paris Olympics by reminding us about the wonderful story of Eric Moussambani - aka Eric the Eel. While most people remember the race, Tom explains Eric's preparation for the Sydney Olympics and how Eric happened to be standing at the diving blocks all by himself. Meanwhile DJ tests JK's and Tom's sporting knowledge with a game of scattergories. 

Join us as we count down the days to the Paris 2024 Olympics by exploring the weird, wacky, wonderful, and wild sports stories from Olympic history.

There's no better place to start than JK explaining the Ancient Greek Olympics and how the Roman Emperor Nero has a claim to being the worst athlete ever.

Meanwhile, Tom once again tests the commentary knowledge of DJ and JK with the return of crazy commentary.

It’s a special for our season finale!! Tom and JK combine forces and enlighten Dave about the marvelous world of competitive dodgeball. The 1993 International Dodgeball Open was described as “greater than the World Cup, World Series and World War 2 combined”. It's a true underdog story. Meanwhile, Tom, Dave, and JK battle it out to be crowned mini-game champion for the season.

When the biggest cycle race on the planet was created, it almost folded because of the ensuing chaos, cheating and violence. Dave walks us through the first few Tour de Frances and reveals the levels of cheating that almost cancelled the iconic Tour. Meanwhile, Tom throws out an insane mini game where Dave and JK rank absurd sporting achievements in Hollywood.

Normally our stories fall under our values of weird, wacky or wild. But today, JK brings us one that’s wonderful. Monica Selles is a tennis legend. Unfortunately, she’s most known as the victim of a vicious attack from a deranged fan. As Tom and Dave learn, her return is an inspirational one. Meanwhile we play another edition of Blind Debating.

Which professional team is the worst ever? Many have had shocking seasons. But statistically, baseball franchise the Cleveland Spiders probably hold that unwanted title. Tom winds back the clock and shares some of the Spiders’ long-standing records, how their owners admitted to ignoring the team, and the headlines from Cleveland’s newspaper publicly blasting the team. Meanwhile, JK hosts trivia with a twist.

What should fans do if they disagree with an umpire’s decision? Storm the field and steal a goalpost of course! As Dave tells us, that’s precisely what North Hobart supporters did in the 1967 Tasmanian State Premiership Final. A controversial decision in the final seconds lead to unprecedented steps that we haven’t seen since. This game of Aussie Rules Football is Tasmanian folklore. Meanwhile, Tom tests the commentary knowledge of Dave and JK.
