We Got The Chocolates

This is our first ever podcast on the road! We record from Mackay at the Great Barrier Reef Arena. Having a beer, watching some cricket and having a chat to Nathan Reardon. 

Reardo has played multiple seasons of BBL cricket for the Adelaide Strikers, Brisbane Heat and Hobart Hurricanes. He also played for the QLD Bulls so he takes the role of “professional athlete” on this episode. 

He talks us through his contributions in the T20 Bash For Cash Tournament, and Leigh and Mitch Drennan’s lack of contributions. He has many solutions for people that can’t hit sixes after claiming he hit the biggest six of all time.

We get his opinion on who is funnier out of Sam Heazlett and James Bazley. He tells us his thoughts on podcasts, why he hated cricket at the end of his career and how he went facing Jofra Archer.
