We Got The Chocolates

Jack Wood on just how nervous he was when he made his BBL debut for the Brisbane Heat! Getting a wicket first ball and getting abuse from the crowd. 

He explains why he doesn't think too much of surfing, and why everything he does, he does weirdly. 

Who does he have a bromance with from within the Brisbane Heat squad? How does his board-game prowess stack up against Sam Heazlett's? 

Is it acceptable to be "that guy" that pulls out the guitar at parties?

The Rolling Stones, honestly, they aren’t very good.... they just one band on Gode’s list of most overrated things in the world! After some early technical difficulties we take the risk of going live for the first time and answer listener questions during the episode.

Matthew Renshaw joins our exclusive Friend Of The Show club, and discusses his BBL10 experience with the Adelaide Strikers. We also talk to a Sydney Sixers player Tom Rogers, the day after their win over Perth in the Final and find out why they were so successful.

We research whether cows moo in regional accents and nominate our most underrated players of the BBL!

The night Sam Heazlett rescued the Brisbane Heat. Obviously he was assisted by Jimmy Peirson and other teammates, which we also mention… just less frequently. 

Who are the worst runners between wickets in cricket? What did Haz’s teammates think of the LBR (Low Bat Raise)?

We have Heazlett on the line responding to some of the classy tweets and comments that were written about him mid innings. 

Mitch offered an insightful analysis into the Power Surge, as well as settling a debate over who has scored more hundreds out of Leigh Drennan and Andrew Gode; you would be within your rights to think, “Who cares”. 

There are some cracking new jokes and plenty of reused innuendo ones to round out the episode. 

We would love to hear from you if you have a story for us from your own sport on the weekend (regardless of the level), if you have an idea, a link to a guest or you want to get your hands on the We Got The Chocolates merchandise. You can do all those things by visiting our website. 

Good luck in the future!

Day for it, DFI or Dave Ferrit. What is it and why is it overpowering Instagram? Leigh tells us in his Parody.

Morne Morkel is with Sam Heazlett in the Brisbane Heat BBL hotel bubble. He holds a world record for the most amount of wickets taken from No Balls in international cricket. 

Morne talks about recovering from his ankle injury and the weeks of quarantine he has had to do in the lead up to his first game in the Big Bash. 

He has encountered Sam Heazlett's frugal ways during a fines meeting. Heazlett explains why he isn't a huge fan of facing Morne in the nets and Morne explains what living with AB de Villiers was like!

Australia was a horrible place to tour when Morne first made the South African squad. He was even abused by a 12 year old!

We review the break, trips to Adelaide to contribute nothing for West Torrens in the SACA competition, the Covid test and Andrew Gode starts the new year off with a joke. 

The Brisbane Heat Facebook page provides a lot of 'Social Sin Bin' candidates, as does the Marnus Labuschagne on air critique that involves Shane Warne, Andrew Symonds, Tim Paine and Matthew Wade. It also cost us our place in the Instagram network which is mildly inconvenient... and by that we mean, pretty rough actually. 

Donald Trump supporters also spend some time in the bin by the way. We hear a story from Brad Murphy on part two of 'Gode's Guests' about an Egyptain Tennis Ball cricketer and why he invited Brad to his wedding. Gode blasts the opener for his segment. 

Our friend Trent had no idea that "Air Quotes" actually had a "How To" guide and he has been misusing them for most of his life. 

We are off instagram as you will hear but you can get in touch and explore our other episodes and content at our website.

"Skin's Stats" is back as Mitch goes for the 'Lowest Totals in Cricket' edition.

Brad "Spud" Murphy is on for the first instalment of "Gode's Guests" to talk about his coaching stint in the IPL and his suggested rule changes for the BBL. 

We start the process of developing a cricket cheat sheet for any non-cricket lovers to still contribute to summer conversations across the next six weeks!

Sam Heazlett is not able to be with us as he completes his "soft quarantine" or "purification process" as Leigh calls it. 

Mitch has a great idea for Leighthal’s Christmas gift and it involves his significant hair loss. 

Who Got The Chocolates features one of the great verbal gaffes from Mitch and our thoughts on the Wallabies National Anthem debate. 

After last week’s chat about sporting blow ups, Leigh has produced a magnificent story right on cue… and it was live streamed. 

We tried to tackle our fears head on as we speak to the man who ambushed our cricket team over the weekend, Jason Floros. Jason also gives us some insight into bowling to Chris Lynn.

Leighthal had a runaway kid on his latest relief teaching day. The reasoning for the bolt will surprise you! Apparently bullying has taken a lot of new forms. 

Why is Leigh so scared of Chris Lynn? Greg Norman's followers have won the internet in the comments section. 

Mitch tells us the story about the day he was sprayed in the line at subway!

We talk large sporting blow ups: Shane Warne, Jimmy Connors and Serena Williams all make the list. 

Haz gets Leigh and Mitch's sister, Bryonnie, on board to dish some serious dirt on both of them... but Mitch comes out unscathed; Leigh does not. 

A listener has a story about why you should play it safe and have a beer, instead of going to training.

The Brisbane Heat have signed James Bazley, yet another host of the podcast to be signed with the Heat… Leigh and Mitch are still waiting. 

Leighthal forgot his box for cricket training and had to get very creative to ensure the seeds were looked after. 

We have a live Social Sin Binning, as Jason joins us on the phone after being relentless on the poor old Brisbane Heat marketing team. 

We discuss the worst sporting awards you can possibly win which actually leads to discussing the best McDonalds dining rooms. 

Plenty of applications for a Friend Of The Show card and we get one of the standout applicants on for a chat.  

You can also apply to become a FOTS and get on the next episode here.
