56. Harry Grant: “Old Whisper, Cause He Never Shouts” Sep 02, 2020

Show notes

West Tigers hooker Harry Grant joins us for a chat around the challenges of NRL in the Covid 19 period, the dog walking expeditions he goes on to keep himself occupied and his breakout season in the NRL. We chat about the loan transition from the Melbourne Storm to the Wests Tigers, and why we aren’t experts on loans due to Haz’s Fiscally responsible behaviour. This prompts Harry to christen Haz with a new nickname! We receive a few not so anonymous tip offs from previous guest Christian Welch on some questions that should be asked and this leads to a few verbal barbs being fired back in his direction. We even have time to find out the three people Harry would choose for a decent bender! Brilliant responses ensue.

55. Asking For a Friend Aug 26, 2020

Show notes

Leighthal is showcasing his brand new Budgy Smugglers which makes everyone quite uncomfortable.

Haz has been waking up really early before cricket games with the help of cricketer Michael Neser’s alarm setting system. Also there is a reason Skin can’t successfully use Siri!

Friend of the Show Jana is in the studio and rather than strictly spraying Leighthal she is considering some of our mates behaviours that have landed them in the doghouse with their significant other.

There is even a rumour that FOTS might get free haircuts! CONTACT the boys anytime here

54: Should You Wear A Mask During Covid? Aug 19, 2020

Show notes

Leigh is on a cricket trip for the Wanderers through central and north Queensland. So Skin and Haz take the intro… not the smoothest you will hear.

The FOTS cards have been delivered so the boys discuss their aesthetics, and find a departing Englishman to present a FOTS card to, on one condition.

Leigh has targeted “Karen from Bunnings” in his new parody song titled Wear Your Mask.

The boys discuss the issue with one of the segment names they have been running with, and Haz produces a segment on Quoits that is filled with innuendo.

There is a phone call to Leigh as he is in Charters Towers to discuss his cricket and we are lucky enough to have Luke “Fox” Feldman on the line too to give some detail about what it is like to tour with Leigh.

53. Bede Durbidge: “I was named after a drunk Hitchhiker” Aug 12, 2020

Show notes

Haz is up and about for this episode as we speak to Australian professional surfer, Bede Durbidge. Bede spent 13 seasons on the professional tour but it is his time since that we enjoy speaking about.

Mitch and Leigh declare their lack of surfing knowledge and are socially outcast as Bede talks through how he liked to spend his “Lay Days”, what “Popping a Wheelie” means and the surfers he liked most on tour.

He talks through the art of making yourself redundant at work which really resonates with Leigh.

Bede explains the origins of his kid’s names… which leads to reminiscing about the drunk hitchhiker that inspired his own name.

It is a serious battle for the beverages as Haz plugs Alchemy (shock) but Bede returns serve by recommending the beer company he is co-founder of, Balter Brewing Company.

52. Surprisingly Satisfactory Review Aug 05, 2020

Show notes

The launching of FOTS Cards. An official recognition to our Friends Of The Show; the boys discuss how useful they will be.

One overly informative 5 star review caught our attention after last week’s episode. Beansprout Supernova turned out to be an old friend of ours who we had to get on the phone.

Haz is the victim of a QLD Cricket traditional prank which is the cricket equivalent to the old “left handed screwdriver” trick.

Skins Stats is back where Skin gets to use his university degree to break down the home and away record of the world’s best bowlers.

Leighthal found a random mouthguard in his boot the day after his footy game. We investigate how it came to be there! Download your Hall Pass here

51. The Hall Pass Debacle Jul 29, 2020

Show notes

We're back with the same old podcast, but with a few new bells and whistles. This episode has a Hall Pass intervention that will go down as one of the best.

We announce this week's Local Sporting Hero. You can nominate your local sporting hero here.

Mitch gets hit up by his first fan and wants everyone to just settle down with it all.

The Social Sin Bin is resurrected with a classic tweet from a 5 star vegan.

50. Double Up. Go Again Jul 08, 2020

Show notes

There is our first significant milestone for you. It is just a quick acknowledgment to the dressing room balcony, no carry on, no fuss, just on with business. Truth be told we actually do carry on a little bit. For goodness sake we made ourselves a montage. You cannot get much more vain. It is the equivalent of Dexys Midnight Runners making a greatest hits album.

Anyway before you get to hear the “Best Bits” section, you have to find out what hobby Skin has now taken up to make him an even more hated member of society, what swift move Leighthal pulled at Ten Pin Bowling to save face, and why Haz has chosen this episode to wear his Broncos Jersey after their sixth straight loss.

Then there is the unveiling of the TOAT XI side after weeks of intense trials and selection meetings. A few players will be heartbroken to miss out but just remember, Matthew Hayden never made a junior rep side.

We speak about Leighthal’s upcoming birthday month and the fact that due to his old age we have been enforced by the Podcast union to have a month of leave. But do not fear, we are not retiring, 50 isn’t enough. We will double up, we will go again in 4 weeks.

Thank you all biggest mobs. We may be taking a break from recording the podcast, but we will not be taking a break from drinking Alchemy Smoothies and Lattes. Check out their range here.

If you want to show your support for the Chocs even more we would be happy to distribute some clothing to you… once you purchase it. You can do that here.

49. Upstairs for Thinking, Downstairs for Highland Dancing Jul 01, 2020

Show notes

Ever wondered what happened on the date we recorded in previous history? Obviously we knew that you had, so we took the liberty of answering that for you which somehow led to Skin nailing a performance of his favourite Pussycat Dolls song. We relive Skinnald's last day as a resident of the Redlands and his newly discovered knack of finding Vaseline on his car door handles. Goodness knows how that got there...

There is some life hack chat after Leighthal's obsession with Tik Tok led to him discovering how to find the perfect fitting pair of jeans without even trying them on! What would you change if you were in charge of the next Olympics and a TOAT XI nomination that is border line robbery! The impact of Coronavirus on the AFL, the series of unfortunate soft tissue injuries in the NRL and Alastair Clarkson's blow up about rule enforcement.

We find out the rankings from our afternoon learning Highland Dancing, who is best at using the vacuum cleaner around at Haz's house and Leighthal produces some more clangers on the buttons. What an episode!

All the boys were powered by the Alchemy Smoothies this week! Check out their delightful range here.

48. Football or Soccer? Any Jokes in the Locker? Jun 24, 2020

Show notes

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.

Good luck in the fours. WGTC.

47. Shayna Jack: Getting Back To The Olympics Jun 17, 2020

Show notes

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.

Stummmppssssss....
