With new drivel dropping every week, the Friday Sharpeners podcast covers a range of topics from around Australia and the globe. Presented by the Boss Hunting team.
The boys record a late one, doing their best to warm up the Gazman who comes home swinging for the latter half of this week's Friday Sharpeners. We chat about everything you need to know about the new iPhone 13, television at its best right now, and then follow an unfortunate segway into pornography. No apologies from us, you get what you came for. Enjoy. Support the show
Live from a socially distanced 74A Ann St, the fellas are back for Season 5 of the Boss Hunting Podcast Friday Sharpeners, to provide a rusty recap of three months doing sweet f*ck all. Support the show
You asked, we delivered. A pandemic won't stop two socially distanced blokes from recording an interim episode, with James and John filling the void after Sydney slipped back into lockdown last week. We take a few positives out of the return to a slower-paced existence, as well as unpack Amazon's Luxe Listings, which drops today on Prime Video with FS alumni, Gavin Rubinstein. To cap things off, John dials into Melbourne Airport where podcast listener and airline pilot Rhys Dudley is enjoying a ...
Concluding a hectic month of trips and commitments outside of Sydney, the BH boys are back in full force for the first Friday Sharpeners episode together in a long time. Join Jack, James, John, and Garry for a cheeky halfa worth of shit talk on this fine, sunny Friday arvo... as they prepare for another last-minute lockdown. Enjoy, fellas (and the three ladies in our audience). Support the show
Sadly, Friday Sharpeners still isn't back to full capacity with half of the usual personnel once again OOO. The good news is Jack and Garry are still desk bound, with no one policing how much Dua Lipa can be played on the UE Boom, talking absolute turkey as usual. Topics this episode range from Jack's recap of his killer 48 hours in Auckland with Rodd & Gunn to Michael Schumacher. Because it wouldn't be a BH podcast without a mention of F1. Enjoy.

Life gets a little busy at the BH office. This week, Jack and James are in Auckland with Rodd & Gunn, leaving John, Garry, and Chris to hold it down for the latest episode of Friday Sharpeners. After a brief recap of what went down at Baku during the Azerbaijan Grand Prix and the week that was - the former being probably the most exciting event of the 2021 Formula 1 season so far - the lads dive into a few quick rounds of 'Would You Rather... ?', which starts tame but quickly navigates into ...
James and John are currently in the Whitsundays on top secret business - the big reveal hitting the airways this November - leaving Jack to babysit Garry on the mics. Given the general interest surrounding BH's oriental specimen, the former decided it was high time to examine what the UN has deemed an intellectual red zone. And while it wasn't exactly the unhinged barrel of laughter you were hoping for, subdued by just a touch of a hangover thanks to last night's Breitling event, at the very lea...
Granted, it's easy to forget we have one of the best gigs going around. But some end-of-week reflection from Jack, James, John, and Garry in this week's episode of Friday Sharpeners is exactly what reminds the BH crew it could be a lot worse. Jack recounts his 10th trip to Barnbougle for the month - this time with Rado - complete with golf, mountain biking, and surprise helicopter trips. John runs us through some of the nicer dinners he had this past week, while James gives us the deets on the T...
Once again at the mercy of a someone's travel schedule, this week's episode of Friday Sharpeners has been pushed up to a spicy 11 AM recording session - but that doesn't exactly stop the grog from a-flowing. Join Jack, James, John, Garry (and Garry's bottle of generic pinot gris) on a conversational journey covering everything from shooting hoops with Nick Kyrgios yesterday, the economics of chic city-state Monaco, Ashton Kutcher + Mila Kunis' delightfully bucolic LA farm house, as well as how 1...
John has once again fled to Byron Bay on DK duties, leaving a well-lubricated Jack and James to babysit a hungover Garry in this week's Friday Sharpeners. In a brief pre-recorded segment, John recounts what went down at the Million Dollar Beard event last night wherein the artist formerly known as Jimmy Niggles - now Scott Maggs - shaved off his iconic face foliage for a cool milly after a decade or so. From there, the conversation meanders over to the standard restaurant, car, and hotel chat le...
Garry is back with a vengeance this podcast after stitching up the boys (and you loyal listeners) by teasing 'The Garry Show', which never eventuated. After his rant is out of the way, we welcome back the man with the 11-year-old beard, Jimmy Niggles, who next week is hosting the Million Dollar Beard Ball to finally part with the beard forever. Apologies in advance for the rowdiness of this one, what a mess. Enjoy. Support the show...
Living up to his reputation, Don Juan McMahon has whisked his lovely girlfriend away for yet another romantic weekend at one of his 500 tiny home timeshares... leaving the three other fellas - Jack, James, Garry - to man the poddy station in this week's episode of Friday Sharpeners. You had some questions and we were more than happy to oblige, covering every topic from what it's really like working at BH, suiting, to the European Super League shitshow. Enjoy. Support the show...
If you were looking for a structured, well-thought out podcast, you've come to the wrong place. For the first time in almost a month, Jack, James, John, and Garry are all present for another Friday Sharpeners episode - now with 50% more nonsense. It kicks off with Garry's very politically correct Japanese man impression, before we navigate onto the matter of an epic vending machine spitting out Aussie craft beers. From there, the conversation meanders into dream domestic holiday territory, round...
John manages to rope in Friday Sharpeners regular - Sam Evans - on the way back from a boozy lunch with Samsung, which eventually turns into a semi-coherent ramble session involving everything from travel bubbles to health kicks. As usual, James and Garry tag along for the eleventh-hour weekday chat. Enjoy. Support the show
The business week may be a day shorter this time around, but BH always has time for some serious business. While Jack has absconded to Melbourne for an undoubtedly wholesome few days of milk and cookies, James, John, Garry, and Chris fire up the mics to usher you into the Easter long weekend. The lads have a chat about the phenomenon of blokes inexplicably getting into cycling the minute they turn 30, and on a related note, what a loser Gaz was/is/always will be (his words). The conversation tak...
It's the end of another gruelling working week, which can only mean one thing. Jack, James, John, and Garry come together for another instalment of Friday Sharpeners with about the same amount of direction (i.e. none). Topics covered this time around include our thoughts on the latest season of Netflix's 'Drive To Survive', what we hope to see in the upcoming Formula 1 season - which kicks off this weekend in Bahrain - how we'd realistically fare in an SAS-style selection process. Additional ram...
Once again, there's no real rhyme or reason behind this week's episode of Friday Sharpeners. James recounts his fascinating experience on the train to heaven - "heaven" given the average age of every other passenger pushed the mid-70s - also known as the Indian Pacific. In between, you'll experience the usual serving of smack talk about watches, tiny homes, regular homes, art exhibitions, and we can't really remember what else. Enjoy... we guess. Support the show...
With Gaz off sick, John, James, and Jack take the helm for a recap of the stupid amounts of alcohol consumed, choppers taken, and golf balls lost last weekend on the Bellarine Peninsula. We then debrief on the mess that has become the Royal Family and the British press, followed by what's to come on James' upcoming weekend on the Indian Pacific railway from Perth to Sydney. Support the show
While Jack and John live it up in Melbourne doing whatever it is they're doing, James and Garry unleash the star potential they've always possessed for a rather relaxed episode of Friday Sharpeners. Stumbling back into the office after a boozy lunch with Samsung at Crown Sydney's Nobu, where the sake and bubbly were definitely a-flowing, the dynamic duo rein it in for quite the varied conversation, covering everything from 9/11, Chris Hemsworth, to Australia's other much-celebrated national trea...
After a long and tumultuous week, the lads come together for what is probably the most chuckle-worthy edition of Friday Sharpeners yet. With the notorious Garry Lu (AKA G-Money) on the control panel - the worst decision Jack Slade has made since hiring the alcoholic child - the lads welcome special guest, published author of 'Today I Fucked Up' fame and BH feature writer, Thomas Mitchell. Get this one up ya. Support the show
Well... this week certainly didn't finish the same way it started, that's for sure. Given the dust has (sort of) settled after yesterday's bombshell, Jack, James, John, and Garry unpack the Media Bargaining Code and Facebook's big dick move in this week's Friday Sharpeners. Interesting times ahead. Support the show
In the lead up to Valentine's Day (and Johnny Valentine's birthday), James, Jack, John & honourary guest, Kim Jong Un, unpack the ups and downs of love. James kicks it off with an inevitable announcement, followed by the usual tangents that have absolutely nothing to do with the topic. Enjoy. Support the show
If the success of our Facebook group has taught us one thing, it's that regular, unprogrammed shit talk remains king. Jack, John, and Gaz answer the demand this week while James takes over Date King duty with a romantic trip to Tasmania. Settle in for a borderline nonsensical one. Support the show
We're back for an unintentional follow-up to last week's investing podcast with a doubleheader unpacking the madness that is the GameStop short-squeeze & today's ruckus involving meme crypto Dogecoin. We promise we'll change up the topics next week. Side note - we're starting an exclusive BH Facebook group for our most dedicated followers. Head to the website to find out how to join.

We’re back. Because Gaz and John got sideways at a Samsung lunch last Friday, BH’s return to the mic got postponed to this week. But you’ll (hopefully) be pleased with what we’ve delivered after the five-week wait. We’re trialling a new Friday Sharpeners format this season, with one (roughly) centralised topic per week to avoid falling into the usual trap of a shit talk black hole. This week? Investing. From stocks to art to whisky and cars. Support the show...
After a tumultuous 2020 - and fresh from the BH Christmas party/fishing trip up north - Jack, James, John, Garry, and pupper Chickpea sit down for one last episode of Friday Sharpeners (albeit in the most scattered fashion to date). The lads provide a brief assessment on the latest COVID-19 developments here in Sydney and how that'll impact the next few months (hence the scattered fashion), recap all the good stuff that happened during our annual piss-up outside of the office/Lord Roberts Hotel,...
Tuesday was a night to forget for Mr Garry Lu, whose hangover guilt still lingers at the time of recording this podcast. We unpack a busy social calendar - heavy on the shenanigans - before delivering a verdict on the new BMW 4 series in the flesh. John, James, and Gaz then brief on what will hopefully be a quiet weekend ahead, while Jack plays 54 holes of golf in Tasmania (standard). Enjoy. Support the show
James, Jack, John, and Garry come together for a very brief episode of Friday Sharpeners before they hurry off to the pub. James kicks things off by recounting his hilarious encounter with a wild Karen in her natural habitat (some inconsequential retail outlet), the lads unpack a tremendous week of F1 news - ranging from the infamous Romain Grosjean crash, George Russell replacing Lewis Hamilton at Mercedes this weekend due to the latter's COVID-19 diagnosis, to Mick Schumacher signing with HAAS...
James, John, and Garry return to the studio while Jack is OOO sampling Toyota's latest and greatest - the GR Yaris. The chaps discuss John's weekend flight over Antarctica and Joycey's COVID-19 stance, before tucking into Queen's Gambit, Gangs of London, and Dunlop Volley's collaboration with good old Victor Bravo. Finally, John drops some gold for Black Friday buyers. Support the show
The full squad is back again for your standard end-of-week Friday Sharpeners yarns. This week, the conversation ranges from a day with The Inspired Unemployed boys to John's first experience in a Rolls-Royce, and an upcoming trip over Antarctica. Enjoy... also, don't bother coming back next week if you haven't watched Gangs of London on Stan (absolutely incredible stuff). Support the show
