Can you call people by their first name, if you do not know them at all, but they happen to be wearing a name tag? Let's ask Skin. Leighthal calls Officeworks to sort out the FOTS Card membership letter. Mitch calls the Vice President of Redlands Tigers as Leighthal’s manager to drive a hard bargain. Professional MC, Evan Bancroft then joins us to discuss his own sporting career and why he never quite made it, as well detail the best guests he has got to work with! To get in contact, suggest an ...

Sam and Skin look at options for making a “How To Make a 100” podcast episode after their successful weekend. Leighthal has received an offer to transfer cricket clubs and take his career to the next level at the Galah’s. Mitch tells us whether we are any chance of winning the premiership this year in his Skin’s Stats segment. Lachlan Pfeffer makes his podcast debut as our “Local Sporting Hero” after his double hundred on the weekend. There is a new song inspired by the Sydney Roosters! Want to ...

Haz has a blue Instagram tick next to his name, he could only resist the temptation for so long. Haz’s Dad outlines what he received for Father’s Day… and sprays one of the gifts. Mitch explains the reason for his unusually small bladder. Simon Milenko is on as we outline some unusual warm up games. Andrew Gode is disgruntled but needs to be reprimanded for his treatment of our good friends at Alchemy Cordials Australia! Visit the website to get in touch with us here . Hosted on Acast.

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 o...

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 t...

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...

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 wit...

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 bre...

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. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information....

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 ...

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 discov...

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 new...

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 covera...

Episode 46: AFL is back this weekend and there is no better way to get you in the mood than listening to a chat with former Brisbane Lions jet, Tim Notting. Tim was a member of the Brisbane Lions most dominant era after being drafted to the Lions in their first ever year as an amalgamated club. We chat about the draft process, the early years at the club where nobody really wanted to be there, copping a spray from Leigh Matthews and the dream run that saw them win three flags and lose a fourth G...

Mitch has kicked the Sherrin into the Brisbane River, there were numerous attempts to recover it but all to no avail. Leighthal flogged another guys coffee order and caused pandemonium at the local establishment and Señor Haz comes in for a full podcast review. We also get through some big talking points from the week that was. Is one ref better than two? Is replacing a penalty with six-again a good idea and does Haz’s Nan like Wayne Bennett at all? Leighthal gets more and more confident with hi...

Episode 44: It is not often we get to say this, but in this Poddy we chat to a proper dual athlete! Courtney was a fast bowler (and has some startling batting statistics) for the Qld Fire and the Brisbane Heat, before she made the transition overseas to play Rugby League for the Leeds Rhinos. Not your classic code-hopper story! Courtney—or Corka as it turns out—loves confetti, is a self confessed tight arse, repels all traces of an English accent and kicks conversions like a wizard. Haz’s resear...

Episode 43: We start off with the excitement of the Merchandise launch! That has really got everyone up and about. Cracking intro song too actually probably the best so far. Anyway I digress. Haz hits us with a quiz straight away, our task is quite simple, name the sports the general public find to be the most boring. One of us is very good at the quiz… and one of us is not. You get to hear our thoughts on bushwalking and some audio captured during the mothers day walk we were forced to attend. ...

Episode 42: This week we have the pleasure of chatting with Queensland and Australian cricketer, Joe Burns. We start with some serious topics including Joe’s stint away from the Australian team during the ashes and what he did to come back from that, as well as some highlights from his impressive first-class debut. But it doesn’t take long for Haz to show off his homework, peppering Burnsy with questions about his flexibility, surfing and skating lifestyle (or lack thereof), eye training habits,...

Episode 41: Back on the tools again which will not come as a shock to the system. We start by covering some big ticket items: How do you make your teeth whiter and is Leigh a naturally gifted skateboarder? We then have the pleasure of speaking to long time listener, Tim, who was kind enough to dob Leighthal in for a previous misdemeanour. He also chats to us about the eternal struggle between being a loving parent and a frustrated junior coach. The TOAT section has been a long time coming. Luke ...

Episode 40: Here we go, there is restart date for the NRL chat, a potential suspension from a dating app and successfully choosing a porterhouse steak tattoo. A game of two halves really; the opening minutes cover isolation, charity work and knee reconstructions. You could be forgiven for thinking it was a very serious chat... but then bang! Half time comes, and Christian discusses the standard of his golf swing (apparently not the best you will see), getting more likes on Instagram and the Stor...

Episode 39: Tik Tok Basketball shooting lessons, how you should be eating a burger, singing along to banging tunes that you don’t know the words to and the Perineum Sun-baking fad. What an outrageously entertaining and broad source of conversation to get through. Jana is on the phone for a “Yarns with Jans” segment, Haz runs a “Social Sin Bin” and Chess is under the microscope. There is a new segment debut and we answer that age-old question… how often should you wash your bedsheets? Or in Leigh...

He talks cricketers he most idolised, why he has a batting coach, how to conduct the perfect interview and much more. There is also plenty of time for his most influential garage cricketers list, reviewing the "Don't Bowl There Song" and the part We Got The Chocolates has ...

His English accent is actually quite delightful to listen to despite the damage he has done to himself with his 6 a day Pepsi habit.
