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.
Garry's absent for this podcast (bar his cluster of a live cross from Splendour), so we're not going to both with a description this week. Bit of chat about ski resorts, the best items we own under $100 and the commercials behind Boss Hunting. Enjoy! Support the show
In the midst of exchanging stories about where we've been and what we've done recently, the boys decide it's International Bully John Day after a slightly out-of-touch remark. This one's been a long time coming. Support the show
Tradie turned endurance runner/all-round legend Nedd Brockmann stops by to tell us about his biggest challenge yet. As if running 50 back-to-back marathons across 50 days wasn't impressive enough, he's now preparing to travel from Perth to Bondi on foot . For context, that's 3,800 kilometres or 100 kilometres a day in no more than 40 days to break the current Guinness World Record. Brockmann is also looking to improve on his own fundraising record during the attempt in collaboration with homeles...
Did ya miss us, Friday Sharpener fanatics? Because we missed you. We missed you dearly. Now that James and John have returned from their respective European sojourns, and Gaz has touched back down to Earth from the Beverly Hills bubble, the lads fire up the mics to recap The Good Life™ and celebrate Nick II's 26th birthday. Have a cracking weekend, fellas. Support the show
It's another Jack and Garry episode. They answer some questions. Find their groove. Stumble here and there. Get used to this dynamic for the next month or so (focus not guaranteed). Support the show
Sadly, this episode of Friday Sharpeners will be the last one the lads are all together -- at least for roughly two months due to international travel-related shenanigans and Gazbullah's ongoing court case with Ogalo Chicken. But not to worry. We'll be back soon enough. Support the show
As it turns out, TikTok might be China's strategy to take down the West. All we'll say is it's definitely working on four certain blokes with a podcast. Anyway... enjoy the weekend, enjoy this episode of Friday Sharpeners, and remember to eat your veggies. Support the show
For the first time in quite a while, Jack, John, Garry, and - back by popular demand - James are all in attendance for roughly 40 minutes of nonsense. How the conversation meandered from tracksuits to circumcision... we don't remember. But enjoy. Support the show
After meandering about with some chat, the lads discuss who would be the last man standing in a Hunger Games type scenario in this episode of Friday Sharpeners (around the 28:00 mark for anyone short on time). Tears and hysterics ensue. That's all you need to know. Enjoy your second long weekend in a row. Support the show
It's one of our favourite times of the year when Aussies can enjoy back-to-back shortened working weeks. And after returning from last week's Melbourne Grand Prix - which shaved another few business days from the Team BH calendar - Jack, John, and Gazbulla fire up the mics for some aimless shit talk. Have a cracking break, legends. Support the show
A quick update from the boys live on the scene. Support the show
Isn't it fascinating how life works out? A week ago Garry commented that the view doesn't change much from behind the desk, and the same reigns true for this week after he was teased with a trip to Los Angeles that came crashing down due to a surprise COVID infection. Jack and John hold the fort for a podcast that jumps from Garry's apartment in Potts Point, to a "red light district" Novotel hostel in Geneva with Nick & James. We then answer your questions from BH HQ to finish. Enjoy. Suppor...
We'll own up to it. The ball has been dropped. Weekly uploads were missed. Which is why Jack, John, and Garry sat down for an XL instalment of Friday Sharpeners featuring BH's dating expert Sera Bozza. In light of the request fielded from HQ, Jack and John speak about frequent flyer points until the circus chimp in Gaz's head decides it's time for disruption (surprisingly longer than expected). Support the show
Jack and John cross live from apres-ski at Club Med Valmorel, France. As it happens, one of Friday Sharpeners' 7 listeners - Aussie bloke Alex Gersbach - happens to live in nearby Grenoble as a professional footballer, and he drove up to the Alps for a few beers with the boys. This was meant to be an introduction for a full episode with the lads back in the studio, but they obviously felt they couldn't do it justice without the dream team in town. Back in full force next week. Enjoy. Support the...
As Jack and John board their flight to France after a brief stopover in Dubai, James, Garry, and Nick II file into the BH poddy studio - after a full day at their desks with bloody miserable Sydney weather, might we add - to recap another week in today's episode of Friday Sharpeners. Settle in for a low-key one. Support the show
Depending on what part of the world you're listening to, this was either a shocker of a week or a shocker of a week. Jack, James, John, and Friday Sharpeners debutante Nick II - some call him Ron, don't ask - for a recap of what went down these past few business days. The Russia problem, James' hilarious "Ryan Reynolds" story, and coffee are all on the docket this time around. Halfway through, Garry pops his head in fresh from The Batman screening to introduce a bit of much-needed chaos. Enjoy. ...
It's always a good time when we get to cyberbully a member of Team BH in real life (so... regular bullying, I suppose). And who better to give Jack the business than his own sister + Friday Sharpeners debutante, Daisy Slade? Entertaining as it may be, we will concede this week's instalment was pretty chaotic, even by our standards. If you thought we were unstructured before, just wait until you get a load of this.

The bad news? Silly season's officially over. The good news? Jack, James, John, and Garry are once again shackled to their desks, which means reuniting for another episode of Friday Sharpeners. Gaz recaps his training session with the one and only John Kavanagh (head coach of Conor McGregor), which literally happened an hour before hitting record. Jack and John recount their excursion to Barranca to shoot a campaign for a certain car brand. And as for James... let's just say the man is in fine f...
A lot has changed since the last episode of Friday Sharpeners. James became a father. John got slightly prettier. And Garry... is still Garry. The other constant in this strange landscape of ours is the BH boys are still talking a whole lot of nonsense. So pull up a chair, pour out a frosty one, and uh --- welcome back, fellas. Support the show
What a year. 2021 has brought peaks, valleys... but mostly a whole lot of turkey from operators (read: just Garry) who'd be deemed unemployable everywhere else. With the office's collective serotonin levels at an all-time low, Jack, James, John, and Gaz come together for one last episode of Friday Sharpeners. Happy holidays! Support the show
Like the humanitarians we are, BH opened its doors to the team over at Two Palms after its office was flooded by the rain. Jack, John, and Garry are joined by Ed Ringwood and Sam Evans on this week's episode of Friday Sharpeners, where the conversation goes from 0 to 100 real f*cking quickly. Enjoy. Please don't sue. And sorry, mum. Support the show
If you ever needed any indication silly season has begun, just check in with the BH boys. As much as we like to joke about certain episodes of Friday Sharpeners not being our best week after week, the hungover trio of Jack, James, and Garry seriously scrape by this time. Topics covered range from Gaz competing in a Dancing With The Stars -type charity event to Anthony Bourdain. Apologies in advance. Support the show
Amidst the horrendous weather of La Niña, James, John, and Garry batten down the hatches and throw back a few drinks for this week's Friday Sharpeners. Gaz champions the value of cyberbullying in addition to spewing some heinous shit that will eventually tank BH, James sings his praises for the unofficial BH restaurant Bistro Rex, and John is just a handsome bastard. Support the show
With James and Garry away on extracurricular activities, John and Jack brought Ed Ringwood in for an insight into what it takes to run a multi-billion (future value) dollar creative agency, chatted about Jack's habit of buying shit cheap things - particularly vehicles - and imbibed in our penchant for general shit talk. Enjoy. Support the show
As Uncle Nick leaves us after his week-long visit, now homebound for Melbourne, the lads regale the masses with tales of another week experiencing cool shit (and occasionally undertaking some actual work). So lower your expectations, pull up a seat, pour a pint, and enjoy a bit of Friday Sharpeners. Support the show
This week, BH's Editor Nick Kenyon makes his Friday Sharpeners debut after escaping Melbourne for the week. Joining the one and only Juan McMahon and a rather Aryan-looking G Lu, the conversation meanders from the usual pop culture and car chat to... other subject matter (we can never remember when it's time to write this shit after a handful of beers). And fear not - resident holiday ruiner Jack Slade as well as the inimitable James Want will be back next week. Support the show...
While James is OOO for a champagne tasting - hard work but someone's gotta do it - Jack, John, and Garry schlep upstairs to BH HQ's studio for another episode of Friday Sharpeners. As per usual, the latter two spend a good portion of the poddy convincing their skipper to stay in the game for longer than 30 minutes. Topics of discussion this week range from Formula 1's Australian Grand Prix potentially migrating to Sydney post-2025 to Alec Baldwin discharging a prop gun, resulting in one death an...
The boys are back, baby - and we're not just talking about this week's episode of Friday Sharpeners. Jack, James, John, and a freshly double jabbed Garry soak in the optimism of NSW re-opening, pub sessions and all. Despite BH's resident content gremlin becoming less and less lucid with every passing minute - this time through no fault of his own - somehow, this latest instalment is still far more focused than whatever was turned in last week. Support the show...
If you thought Friday Sharpeners was scattered before, wait until you hear the first half of this week's episode. A combination of drinking too early, recording too late, and perhaps the electric atmosphere in anticipation of "Freedom Day" this coming Monday momentarily leads the BH crew in 100 different directions. Thankfully, Jack, James, John, and Garry stick the landing. Sort of. Support the show
While Johnny Mac is once again "stretching his legs" on the sunny shores of Manly (pretty standard WFH day), Jack, James, and Garry pour one out for their homie and talk a whole lot of turkey in this week's episode of Friday Sharpeners. After publishing a not-so-incendiary article regarding Somalia's Pirate Stock Exchange, a small yet vocal contingent of Somalian nationalists (read: the country's equivalent of QANON) issues a fatwa on BH's resident content gremlin; which he assures he's more tha...
