27. Brad Wilkin: Super Rugby Games and Remembering Names Jan 06, 2020

Show notes

Episode 27: Happy New Year and Welcome back everyone. We actually recorded this interview with Brad prior to Christmas but figured it would be a great first one back!

In this episode we branch out from our area of strength and venture into the world of Rugby. Brad and Haz grew up together so there are plenty of classic Sam Heazlett stitch ups as you would expect. We hear about Brad's nicknames, bad habits and inability to remember names!

On a serious note though, Brad Wilkin’s journey is quite the story: From a red haired, country boy who bowled sweatband swingers at Haz, to a hard hitting Rugby flanker on the world stage, Brad's pathway to his Super Rugby debut makes for some compelling listening. He was seen as a future Wallaby from a young age when he was an enforcer in Australia’s Rugby 7s Team and will be running into the field for the Melbourne Rebels in the Super Rugby this year. However, it is his resilience to come back from multiple ACL ruptures that makes this episode one that you can’t miss.

26. Can You Bowl Bouncers to Nan and Why You Should Always Look to Shake Baze's Hand! Dec 18, 2019

Show notes

Episode 26: Wonderful news as James Bazley makes another guest appearance to reveal the official Garage Cricket rankings after plenty of debate. Fair to say Leigh is not impressed with his bowling ranking! The first ever acoustic performance of one of our songs takes place live in studio and we pick apart Mitch's BBL Supercoach team.

We tell you who should replace the injured Josh Hazlewood, who is most likely to have a statue built after them and how climate change can be incorporated into cricket sledging. Can Marnus' backlift be any higher? Can his eyes be any closer together and has Haz been stitched up with his latest drug test? All these questions and much more will be answered in this episode!

25. Where to for Folau and the MCG Pitch causes a Row! Dec 13, 2019

Show notes

Episode 25 has taken some time because Leigh has been continuing his quest towards claiming the title of “World’s Greatest Volleyball Coach” this week. Meanwhile, Sam has been away in Sydney playing cricket and Mitch has been… doing nothing out of the ordinary. Mitch has used the time to come up with a plan for all the unhappy listeners that missed out on being included in the BBL Supercoach League though!

This week, we tackle another controversial topic. Not veganism but Israel Folau—potentially six months too late but still relevant because he has been linked to the Brisbane Broncos—and we attempt to enforce the no fence sitting policy. The demon MCG pitch gives us plenty of content for “The Social Sin Bin” and Skin even gets a real “Skin’s Stats” segment going which you do not want to miss. We introduce you to Heazlett’s girlfriend/ Miso Soup as he tells his love story, we sing a parody of ‘Chicken Fried’ and take a walk down memory lane as we target Leigh’s chequered YouTube past.

High quality content obviously but goodness gracious there is some serious background noise to deal with. There is a full blown thunderstorm mid episode which sets off our dog and makes her go bonkers, so you will be heavily distracted but also entertained!

24. Draft Picks, Snapchat Tricks and Your Supercoach Fix Dec 04, 2019

Show notes

Episode 24: This week Leigh takes us through a couple of activities that are necessary learning experiences in his Reproduction and Sexual Education classes, we hear about the boys debut as Bollywood dancing Hype men and Leigh's monumental Snapchat blunder. On the sporting front, this episode puts plenty of focus on the 2019 AFL Draft. Lead by the overly enthusiastic goal celebrator, Dion King, we chat through the best recruits, the Lion's steal and a couple players to keep your eyes on in your AFL Fantasy competitions next season. Sam Heazlett comes fresh off his brilliant hundred to lead us through some "Overused Sporting Buzzphrases" and "A Minute to Thin It". Mitch talks about the inaugural We Got The Chocolates BBL Supercoach competition that he will be running and that is not something you want to miss out on.

23. Dulcet Tones and David Jones Nov 26, 2019

Show notes

Episode 23: Huge week in sport—this exact phrase gets spoken about in the overused sporting buzzphrase section—and particularly cricket as the first test finishes, Marnus bats like a wizard and we see a year ban in the WBBL. We get Andrew Gode on the phone mainly just for his raw entertainment value but also to ask a couple of questions about his trip to Adelaide with Leigh last week. You get to hear Leigh retell his joke of the day, a big name being placed firmly in the "Social Sin Bin" and what number we should all be batting during the "Skin's Stats" segment. Our favourite flavour of shapes is discussed and the new NRL Golden Point rule change inspires us to write another song. We even debut a Baseball and Basketball section... tough times! Make sure you get your ears around this one and if you like it don’t be afraid to share it with a friend! Ramble Responsibly. WGTC

22. Jemma Barsby: Barrister or Barista Nov 25, 2019

Show notes

Episode 22: One of the more entertaining interviews we have ever done as Queensland Fire and Perth Scorchers All-Rounder Jemma Barsby joins us on the phone from Perth. Due to the time difference she sounds very up and about whilst we are falling asleep but that makes for an outstanding combination. Jemma talks us through changing BBL franchises, bowling with both arms and how to spell L-ephant.

Listen in to hear how she manages playing cricket after being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, the bulk stitch ups Haz has acquired from her teammates and how she fared in backyard cricket battles against her brother. As expected Haz manages to give some shout outs to his personal sponsors, we get a review on his haircut and we learn how to poach an egg.

21. What Did Pattinson Say and Let's Get Leigh's Knock Out of the Way Nov 22, 2019

Show notes

Episode 21: Alright everyone it was a challenge but here it is! Leigh is away playing cricket in Adelaide but he is on the phone to talk us through his first day in the field. He also talks us through the knock no one but him is describing as the greatest of all time. He has a horrid phone line and terrible phone etiquette so we apologise for this. This gives Mitch an opportunity to take the reigns on the button pushing and it would be hard to say that he seizes his opportunity.

We talk plenty of cricket as we cover sledging, selecting and catching with your head. However, there is also plenty of time for the "Social Sin Bin", "Skin's Stats" and a Heazlett Finska Showcase. Haz's Dad has even caught the song writing bug so we simply had to include his rendition of "Sweet Tigerman". We hope you enjoy this one!

20. Yup or Nup to the Cup? Nov 13, 2019

Show notes

Episode 20: In this Episode we tackle an issue that is probably outside our expertise, pay grade and intellect but we do it none the less. Small disclaimer. If you hate serious chat we talk Horse Racing and the ABC 7:30 Report from 14:00 - 23:00 so do feel free to skip to the bant. The good news is that you get far more words out of Mitch this week because he leads our discussion on the Melbourne Cup and even sings a song titled "Mitch Just Can't Eat a Meat Pie". Listen in to hear bulk discussion on nicknames, tourism campaigns for the Northern Territory, Matthew Renshaw's first innings after his debut on We Got The Chocolates and much more. We cover the Matildas pay rise, exiting Bali jails and hitting five sixes in an over. Mixed in are some staple segments: "Overused Sporting Buzzphrases", "The Social Sin Bin" and "A Minute to Thin It". Make sure you get your ears around this one and if you like it don’t be afraid to share it with a friend! Remember, Ramble Responsibly. WGTC

19. Matthew Renshaw: My Favourite Format and The Sorting Hat Nov 08, 2019

Show notes

Episode 19: What a huge episode as Australian and Queensland opening batsman Matthew Renshaw joins us on the phone! He talks us through the biggest scalps he has taken bowling his part time offies—some of the names will shock you—his job as the Queensland Cricket Horticulturist and the way to ensure you are successful at your company’s annual golf day. Listen in to find out about Renners ambition to be on Burke's Backyard, which house he would be in if he went to Hogwarts, retiring ill due to unfortunate bowel movements and so much more. He might even be the youngest person to have a knee reconstruction… although that wasn’t very well researched. Also listen out for some of the sneaky barbs thrown in Marnus' direction before they clash on the cricket field tomorrow! Make sure you get your ears around this one and if you like it don’t be afraid to share it with a friend! WGTC

Show notes

Episode 18: Mitch is his usual rowdy self, Haz writes and performs a song and Leigh tells the story of why he was at school for so much longer than everyone else! It won't shock you to know that we discuss plenty of cricket, dissect the Australian loss to Tonga in the Rugby League and get through the Instagram topic requests. "The Social Sin Bin" is getting full, Skin looks at baseball in his return to form for the "Skin's Stats" segment, Haz discusses his potential future as a professional Frisbee Golfer and much more.
