Episode 30: We are back on the tools for a serious length of time this week as you can see by the duration. Haz takes us through the rules that our listeners believe need to change in BBL, we talk Tennis and climate change as a combination (thanks Roger Federer) and there is a listener written Chris Green Parody titled "No Ballin". Jana makes her long awaited debut in the first "Yarns with Jans" segment—Leigh struggles to find a suitable jingle for her—we discuss Russell Crowe's best movie and v...

Episode 29: Long boarding World Champion and Go Pro athlete Harley Ingleby joins us for this episode which makes Haz unbelievably excited. Leigh and Mitch just tune in for a proper surfing education as he talks about everything from surf boards to acting as a stunt double for Steven Gerrard. Leigh and Mitch are completely baffled as some tennis terms get thrown around but get back on track talking about Coffs Harbour, dogs and Go Pro. They have potentially even found themselves a surf instructor...

Episode 28: Back after the Christmas/ New Year period which means there is plenty to catch up on. We discuss Tom Banton being a great find for Australian cricket in the 'Social Sin Bin', Haz is on the road to recovery after churning his guts up with gastro whilst in Hobart and Mitch is stinking it up in BBL Supercoach. A listener has written a song called "Mourn" which really calls out the itchy nose illness a couple of umpires have struggled with in recent times. We get a celebrity on to sing t...

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 t...

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 cric...

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—potentiall...

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 wha...

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 b...

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 o...

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 discussio...

Episode 19: What a huge episode as Australian and Queensland opening batsman Matthew Renshaw joins us on the phone!

Episode 15 is the final episode of Season 1 and it utilises the services of recently retired and much loved Queensland Bulls paceman Luke Feldman. Luke joins us on the phone with a cricket game blaring in the background which provides plenty of highlights. He tells stories, provides commentary and even speaks about some cricket. For the neutral viewer though, the highlight is his roasting of co-host Sam Heazlett. These two have played many years of cricket together and Luke has stored some of hi...

Episode 14 and in a Podcast first we have two people on the phone at once! One is Sam Heazlett who is churning runs in the Marsh Cup currently; the other is even more exciting (sorry Haz) as Jack Lukosius from the Gold Coast Suns joins us to try and educate Haz on AFL and relive his memories of bowling heat as a gun junior cricketer! We chat Brownlow medal, AFL Grand Final, Haz previews the NRL Grand Final—he sits on the fence for some more ruling interpretations—and provides an in depth look at...

Episode 13 sees Mitch and Sam take the reins as Leigh is on a Snow Trip. Truth be told, we manage to get Leigh on the phone, so you still get to hear him talk about his dismissals so far this cricket season. The Australian Women’s Cricket Team are jets, and the Marsh One-Day Cup has started, so Haz comes straight from playing a game to help us chat cricket—although gets stuck talking about his social media fame after hitting a massive six for quite some time! We check in with how Skin’s previous...

Episode 12 and we have Mackenzie Sadler on the phone to discuss the opening round of the AON Uni 7s Tournament.

Episode 10 and we bring up the double figures by utilising the return of the prodigal son… Sam Heazlett. After an amazing performance on debut we simply could not keep Sam in the Reserves (Magoos) for any longer. He helps us chat through Will Chambers getting punched (shock), Kelly Slater building a wave pool and Leigh’s phenomenal Grand Final record. ‘Skin’s Stats’, a new song dedicated to Marnus and Skin rapping 97 words in 15 seconds ensure this episode combines the classics with some new mat...

Episode 9 features a significant look at the Third Ashes Test and that is why this episode sets a new We Got The Chocolates record for "minutes of your life consumed". More unpacking in this episode than we do after the weekly grocery shop. AFL Finals are upon us (Go Lions), the All Australian Squad has some notable omissions and Bazley's AFL Fantasy CV gets a boost. We also delete a round from the NRL season and question the John's brothers birth dates... although not intentionally. 'Overused S...
