We Got The Chocolates

Is a glass of milk an acceptable drink for adults? Is listening to a podcast whilst on the toilet commonly done, is there anything wrong with players taking a knee before AFL Games? Some brilliant discussion points come up in this week's Poddy!

But to start is it Football or Soccer? We truly are still confused by which one offends the least amount of people but we do know that Rory—our resident Englishman—was kind enough to take us down to his local club for some trick shots. The even better news was, he agreed to wearing a microphone and captured the competitive spirit, horrific skill and ordinary one liners on display!

We chatted about the Coronavirus case that was plaguing the AFL and Essendon in particular! Note that since recording it has all pretty much been resolved but we were definitely not about to record again.

We also tried the "Don't Laugh" challenge as we told each other some cracking Dad Jokes, and you would be surprised by the player who performed the most admirably in that game.

There is barely any space left in the Social Sin Bin, we fix the game of Quidditch and get some cracking TOAT XI nominations!

The Lattes and Smoothies have never tasted better it will not shock you to know, thanks to the guys at Alchemy Cordials.

Episode 47: Shayna is in the new studio! She grabs a microphone, the worst pair of swimming Goggles she has ever seen and her favourite cricket autobiography (to put the mic on) and she is off the blocks and racing. We go through how exactly we got her on the podcast and the reasons we were keen to have chat to her, she discusses some of her most memorable achievements in swimming thus far and bursts Leighthal's bubble by informing him that the World Record line is actually for Television coverage only. 

If you are here for the tell all... that isn't really our style. However, Shayna goes into far more depth about the process of her being sent home and the limbo she is currently in than we were expecting. It is fascinating to get a story from her side, without huge clickbait headlines and bikini shots. She informs us of the fallout from that day, what it means for her work, her study and her future goals and ambitions. There are certainly two sides to every story! 

It is a real struggle to pry Shayna away from our dog "Ruby" for long enough to get some answers out of her! She describes her love for animals, how awesome her partner is and Haz's strength in board games. A truly fascinating chat and one that we certainly appreciate a great deal. 

We made a delightful Mango Smoothie for Shayna and she gives it a live review during the Poddy! Alchemy Cordials Australia are producing plenty of quality in the Smoothie area and you can check them out here.

We do appreciate your support so much! If you want to support even more and get a sensational tangible item in the process, head to the website to get yourself kitted out with We Got The Chocolates Merchandise. When your day on the tools finishes... we are just getting on them. WGTC.

Episode 46: AFL is back this weekend and there is no better way to get you in the mood than listening to a chat with former Brisbane Lions jet, Tim Notting. Tim was a member of the Brisbane Lions most dominant era after being drafted to the Lions in their first ever year as an amalgamated club. 

We chat about the draft process, the early years at the club where nobody really wanted to be there, copping a spray from Leigh Matthews and the dream run that saw them win three flags and lose a fourth Grand Final! Tim brings some outstanding stories about that group's ability to celebrate wins, his own impressive motorbike riding feat and the way to keep yourself awake when you are getting weary from too many 'Britney Spears'. 

There is some real chat about the heartache of being offered up for trade, his big regret from his career and what life after footy looks like. However, there is plenty of room for entertaining discussion as we get to the bottom of where he was born, the reason he got off Facebook and our chances of getting his wife Jodie on the podcast—former Olympic Gold Medalist, Jodie Henry.

You will enjoy the chat with Tim a great deal. The phone line even cuts out for a little bit but everyone is in such great form they just deal with it like it is water off a duck's back. Real smooth. 

Speaking of smooth… Alchemy Cordials Australia are have a delightful Smoothie range that we have been getting around this week, check them out here.

Mitch has kicked the Sherrin into the Brisbane River, there were numerous attempts to recover it but all to no avail. Leighthal flogged another guys coffee order and caused pandemonium at the local establishment and Señor Haz comes in for a full podcast review.

We also get through some big talking points from the week that was. Is one ref better than two? Is replacing a penalty with six-again a good idea and does Haz’s Nan like Wayne Bennett at all?

Leighthal gets more and more confident with his pun telling, Skin becomes more and more aggressive with every one and there are plenty more button pressing dramas in the race for MVP!

As always Alchemy Cordials Australia get some well deserved recognition from our guests. Check them out here.

Episode 44: It is not often we get to say this, but in this Poddy we chat to a proper dual athlete! Courtney was a fast bowler (and has some startling batting statistics) for the Qld Fire and the Brisbane Heat, before she made the transition overseas to play Rugby League for the Leeds Rhinos. Not your classic code-hopper story! 

Courtney—or Corka as it turns out—loves confetti, is a self confessed tight arse, repels all traces of an English accent and kicks conversions like a wizard. Haz’s research again ensures that there are some stitch ups throughout the interview. However, they backfire somewhat as each co-host ends up with a separate challenge against her that they need to complete. Leighthal’s karaoke battle is one that we particularly look forward to.

Listen right to the end to ensure you hear the stories about just how persuasive Courtney can be to her teammates, and why she is searching for a Bonds sponsorship!

Speaking of sponsors… ours is quality. Alchemy Coridals Australia are doing great things for your taste buds, check them out here.

Episode 43: We start off with the excitement of the Merchandise launch! That has really got everyone up and about. Cracking intro song too actually probably the best so far. Anyway I digress. Haz hits us with a quiz straight away, our task is quite simple, name the sports the general public find to be the most boring. One of us is very good at the quiz… and one of us is not. 

You get to hear our thoughts on bushwalking and some audio captured during the mothers day walk we were forced to attend. We get through some quality Tightest Of All Time (TOAT) nominations, including a cracking story from Adam Hollioake. We catch up with FOTS Andrew Gode as he fills us in on the things keeping him occupied during isolation, best craft beers, NRL Supercoach and Anti-vaxxers. He then tells you a way to make free money with the “Sco Mo first word at presser” novelty bet. 

There is rhyming slang, borderline horrible puns and plenty of pot shots at each other again throughout. 

Get in touch guys via our website to get the TOAT nominations in. Visit the website also to pick up your We Got The Chocolates Merch. This link will take you straight to the shop. Enjoy this one and best wishes in the future. WGTC

Episode 42: This week we have the pleasure of chatting with Queensland and Australian cricketer, Joe Burns. We start with some serious topics including Joe’s stint away from the Australian team during the ashes and what he did to come back from that, as well as some highlights from his impressive first-class debut.

But it doesn’t take long for Haz to show off his homework, peppering Burnsy with questions about his flexibility, surfing and skating lifestyle (or lack thereof), eye training habits, his plumbing apprenticeship and plenty more.

Leigh managed to sneak in a story about his first-grade debut which was against Joe! Leigh put on a real batting masterclass scoring 29 in the first six hours of the day so it was great to get Joe's thoughts on that innings. 

You will go on a journey again in this interview. There is banter, and classic Heazlett sponsorship infomercials but Joe also managed to make room for some really meaningful insights into what it takes to be a professional athlete and what it means in the bigger picture of his life.

It was an eye opening chat that you don’t want to miss, and a pleasure to have Joe on the show.

Episode 41: Back on the tools again which will not come as a shock to the system. We start by covering some big ticket items: How do you make your teeth whiter and is Leigh a naturally gifted skateboarder? We then have the pleasure of speaking to long time listener, Tim, who was kind enough to dob Leighthal in for a previous misdemeanour. He also chats to us about the eternal struggle between being a loving parent and a frustrated junior coach.

The TOAT section has been a long time coming. Luke Feldman has mentioned it in Episode 15, Christian Welch in Episode 40 and finally we have provided the resources for you to nominate your friend who fits the Tightest Of All Time category. It will be glorious and we kick it off with a pre recorded nomination from Feldman.

If that doesn't get you over the line you also have a Skins Stats segment on graphing, a story about cultural awareness while working at Woolworths and why you should be wary of the "Greatest Pizza Ever". 

To get your nominations in for the TOAT team go to our website and scroll down to the voice recorder. We appreciate your contribution and distribution. WGTC

Episode 40: Here we go, there is restart date for the NRL chat, a potential suspension from a dating app and successfully choosing a porterhouse steak tattoo. 

A game of two halves really; the opening minutes cover isolation, charity work and knee reconstructions. You could be forgiven for thinking it was a very serious chat... but then bang! Half time comes, and Christian discusses the standard of his golf swing (apparently not the best you will see), getting more likes on Instagram and the Storm vs Rebels Monopoly battles (this includes some serious swipes at friend of the show, Brad Wilkin!) 

Christian even tells you how to spot the "tightest bloke of all time" in your friendship circle. Found you Heazlett.

Episode 39: Tik Tok Basketball shooting lessons, how you should be eating a burger, singing along to banging tunes that you don’t know the words to and the Perineum Sun-baking fad. What an outrageously entertaining and broad source of conversation to get through.

Jana is on the phone for a “Yarns with Jans” segment, Haz runs a “Social Sin Bin” and Chess is under the microscope. There is a new segment debut and we answer that age-old question… how often should you wash your bedsheets? Or in Leighthal’s case; is it okay to sleep next to your clean bedsheets after washing them because you are too lazy to make your bed?
