Leigh Drennan, Mitch Drennan & Andrew Gode
We have travelled around the world dreaming of playing sport professionally... and we never made it. However, if there is one skill we have acquired it’s the art of being a great team-mate.We create content for the kid in every adult! There are Dad Jokes, fun games and plenty of chat about the things that made us laugh this week. We know life gets busy, so this is our way of bringing you along for a chuckle. So grab a beer, coffee or glass of wine and join us for the fun. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
74. Day For It
Hottest 100 songs and Hottest 100 Beers. We talk quite a bit about one and not a lot about the other. Did Douglas Henry Nut invent the doughnut? Day for it, DFI or Dave Ferrit. What is it and why is it overpowering Instagram? Leigh tells us in his Parody. Andrew Gode leads a BBL10 new rules review and offers ways to fix the competition. Tim Paine is copping a hammering from many social media experts who Mitch puts in the Social Sin Bin. We have a story about a recreational drug user going on a Ski Trip to Canada!

73. Morne Morkel: "I Risked My Life For A Pair Of Oakley's"
Morne Morkel is with Sam Heazlett in the Brisbane Heat BBL hotel bubble. He holds a world record for the most amount of wickets taken from No Balls in international cricket. Morne talks about recovering from his ankle injury and the weeks of quarantine he has had to do in the lead up to his first game in the Big Bash. He has encountered Sam Heazlett's frugal ways during a fines meeting. Heazlett explains why he isn't a huge fan of facing Morne in the nets and Morne explains what living with AB de Villiers was like!Australia was a horrible place to tour when Morne first made the South African squad. He was even abused by a 12 year old!If you have a guest you would like us to reach out to, get in contact at the website here.

72. Shane Warne & Andrew Symonds - The Mics Are Still On Boys
We review the break, trips to Adelaide to contribute nothing for West Torrens in the SACA competition, the Covid test and Andrew Gode starts the new year off with a joke. The Brisbane Heat Facebook page provides a lot of 'Social Sin Bin' candidates, as does the Marnus Labuschagne on air critique that involves Shane Warne, Andrew Symonds, Tim Paine and Matthew Wade. It also cost us our place in the Instagram network which is mildly inconvenient... and by that we mean, pretty rough actually. Donald Trump supporters also spend some time in the bin by the way. We hear a story from Brad Murphy on part two of 'Gode's Guests' about an Egyptain Tennis Ball cricketer and why he invited Brad to his wedding. Gode blasts the opener for his segment. Our friend Trent had no idea that "Air Quotes" actually had a "How To" guide and he has been misusing them for most of his life. We are off instagram as you will hear but you can get in touch and explore our other episodes and content at our website. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

71. Wally Lewis: Ring A Ding Ding It's The King
Andrew Gode makes his first in person appearance on the podcast. He even provides a different location for the podcast to be recorded. "Skin's Stats" is back as Mitch goes for the 'Lowest Totals in Cricket' edition. Wally Lewis is on for a chat to Leigh about his movements at the moment, his new book and his thoughts on the rule changes for the 2021 NRL season. Brad "Spud" Murphy is on for the first instalment of "Gode's Guests" to talk about his coaching stint in the IPL and his suggested rule changes for the BBL. We start the process of developing a cricket cheat sheet for any non-cricket lovers to still contribute to summer conversations across the next six weeks!

70. Swearing On Livestream
Sam Heazlett is not able to be with us as he completes his "soft quarantine" or "purification process" as Leigh calls it. Mitch has a great idea for Leighthal’s Christmas gift and it involves his significant hair loss. Who Got The Chocolates features one of the great verbal gaffes from Mitch and our thoughts on the Wallabies National Anthem debate. After last week’s chat about sporting blow ups, Leigh has produced a magnificent story right on cue… and it was live streamed. We tried to tackle our fears head on as we speak to the man who ambushed our cricket team over the weekend, Jason Floros. Jason also gives us some insight into bowling to Chris Lynn. Get to our website, click on contact us and drop us a story, you can send it by the website form or record it into the Speakpipe. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
45:3109/12/2020
69. Sledging In Subway
Leighthal had a runaway kid on his latest relief teaching day. The reasoning for the bolt will surprise you! Apparently bullying has taken a lot of new forms. Why is Leigh so scared of Chris Lynn? Greg Norman's followers have won the internet in the comments section. Mitch tells us the story about the day he was sprayed in the line at subway! We talk large sporting blow ups: Shane Warne, Jimmy Connors and Serena Williams all make the list. Haz gets Leigh and Mitch's sister, Bryonnie, on board to dish some serious dirt on both of them... but Mitch comes out unscathed; Leigh does not. A listener has a story about why you should play it safe and have a beer, instead of going to training. If you have a story for us, visit the website and drop us a line or even record a message on the Speakpipe. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

68. Test The Cordial
The Brisbane Heat have signed James Bazley, yet another host of the podcast to be signed with the Heat… Leigh and Mitch are still waiting. Leighthal forgot his box for cricket training and had to get very creative to ensure the seeds were looked after. We have a live Social Sin Binning, as Jason joins us on the phone after being relentless on the poor old Brisbane Heat marketing team. We discuss the worst sporting awards you can possibly win which actually leads to discussing the best McDonalds dining rooms. Plenty of applications for a Friend Of The Show card and we get one of the standout applicants on for a chat. You can also apply to become a FOTS and get on the next episode here. Hosted on Acast.

67. Jack Wildermuth: "Do I Send Him The Highlights Reel?"
Jack Wildermuth is another man who has got the better of Skin on the cricket field! We chat about his move from the Melbourne Renegades back to the Brisbane Heat. BBL10 will have three new rules and Wildermuth gives his thoughts on those. We get his T20 match day eating routine and talk about him being the Kryptonite for Australian selector George Bailey. Jack has a long list of nicknames, refers to Leigh as the bus driver and spends time debating whether his origins are city or country. We even have time to reminisce about the best prank Wildermuth and Adam Lockhart-Krause pulled off many years ago. What really will help you this BBL season is being adequately clothed. For that we would recommend some WGTC merchandise. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
42:3618/11/2020
66. I Would Have Made It But...
Who got the chocolates last week? Has to be Will Pucovski, the Wallabies and the Maroons. We get Mitch to display some more emotion on a topic that actually fires him up. What stopped you from making it as a professional athlete? Leighthal informs everyone of his podcast spending while we chat to our local sporting hero of the week, Daniel Drew. What is the worst trophy you have ever been presented with? We have a couple stinkers for you! The FOTS card application form is now live!

65. Can I Have Your Autograph?
Social Sin Bin is here! We target braggers, Joe Burns haters and obvious comments. FOTS check in with Friend of the Show number 0001… Aaron Parsons. He airs his grievances about the postage process, and how the card has cleared up a persistent rash. A FOTS card has somehow found its way onto EBAY and the post includes some intriguing background imagery. We introduce a new segment called Perfect Partners with Parso. Andrew Gode tells us who won the Melbourne Cup this year …. the only problem is, he had to tell us the night before the race was run. Mitch was asked for his autograph on the weekend by a man he was playing cricket against… and it was not because of his cricketing ability.

Heals’ hamstrings or his fingers?How did he get to be Wicketkeeping for Australia after only 6 First Class games for Queensland?What did Australian Test cricketers earn in 1989?

63. Marnus Labuschagne Wins A Medal
There are some significant issues with the accuracy of the caricatures we have been utilising. Leighthal needs an Alchemy beverage due to the hangover he is experiencing. He still finds time to prank Skin though. We relive some of the highlights and obviously the lowlights from the boys flag winning performance on the weekend. We try to find out Haz’s net worth and talk about the biggest six that has ever been hit!Asking For A Friend is back with Jana in the studio as we look at the cheat codes for meeting someone new, and why a day of parenting is not as hard as a day in the field.

62. The Hangover 4
Heazlett is trying to find the right breakfast combo between Alchemy Health Elixir drinks and KFC nuggets. A local sporting hero took all ten wickets in an innings last weekend. We couldn’t speak to him so instead we spoke to… someone he dismissed. Mitch grills Heazlett about his omission from the Queensland Sheffield Shield squad that travels to Adelaide. Andrew Gode checks in to tell the greatest celebration story we have ever heard. It involves a phone charger, a paper clip and the head from a fox suit. There is even a FOTS card application to round out the episode! Check out our website to get in contact with us, find more episodes or grab some We Got The Chocolates merch! Hosted on Acast.

Michael Kasprowicz on his unbelievable T20 record and that first international T20 game against New Zealand (where he sported some magnificent facial hair and a headband). Rebranding and marketing himself as the fashionable bowler for unfashionable tours. He challenges the perception of the “dumb fast bowler”. Whether DRS would have saved him and Australia in the second test at Edgbaston in the 2005 Ashes series. He gives us some tips on how to sledge people… without getting suspended!

A quick recap of how our sporting teams went across the weekend. Also the story of just how much we were holding back one team we were playing for!We then go to you guys to find out what you would change about AFL! This leads to us meeting Malcolm from The Alchemy Cordial Company (check them out here) or Malchemy as Leighthal calls him. We have our NRL and AFL Supercoach presentations to or We Got The Chocolates league winners. Unbelievable prize pack included. Mitch outlines his plan for getting tickets to the Brisbane Lions first final on the weekend. Leigh finishes with a bang by giving the boys his best Sexual Health Education lesson to ensure he nails it when he has to teach it. One person really does not go well with the accompanying quiz!

33:5730/09/2020
59. The Counter Offer
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!

56. Harry Grant: “Old Whisper, Cause He Never Shouts”
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 on some questions that should be asked and this leads to a few verbal barbs being fired back in his direction. We even have time to find out the three people Harry would choose for a decent bender! Brilliant responses ensue. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
32:0902/09/2020
55. Asking For a Friend
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 that FOTS might get free haircuts! CONTACT the boys anytime here Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
39:3626/08/2020
54: Should You Wear A Mask During Covid?
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 Quoits that is filled with innuendo. There is a phone call to Leigh as he is in Charters Towers to discuss his cricket and we are lucky enough to have Luke “Fox” Feldman on the line too to give some detail about what it is like to tour with Leigh. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
38:1219/08/2020
53. Bede Durbidge: “I was named after a drunk Hitchhiker”
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 with Leigh.Bede explains the origins of his kid’s names… which leads to reminiscing about the drunk hitchhiker that inspired his own name. It is a serious battle for the beverages as Haz plugs Alchemy (shock) but Bede returns serve by recommending the beer company he is co-founder of, Balter Brewing Company.

52. Surprisingly Satisfactory Review
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 break down the home and away record of the world’s best bowlers. Leighthal found a random mouthguard in his boot the day after his footy game. We investigate how it came to be there! Download your Hall Pass here Contact the show here Hosted on Acast.

35:1605/08/2020
51. The Hall Pass Debacle
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.

50. Double Up. Go Again
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 hated member of society, what swift move Leighthal pulled at Ten Pin Bowling to save face, and why Haz has chosen this episode to wear his Broncos Jersey after their sixth straight loss.Then there is the unveiling of the TOAT XI side after weeks of intense trials and selection meetings. A few players will be heartbroken to miss out but just remember, Matthew Hayden never made a junior rep side.We speak about Leighthal’s upcoming birthday month and the fact that due to his old age we have been enforced by the Podcast union to have a month of leave. But do not fear, we are not retiring, 50 isn’t enough. We will double up, we will go again in 4 weeks.Thank you all biggest mobs. We may be taking a break from recording the podcast, but we will not be taking a break from drinking Alchemy Smoothies and Lattes. Check out their range here.If you want to show your support for the Chocs even more we would be happy to distribute some clothing to you… once you purchase it. You can do that here. Hosted on Acast.

49. Upstairs for Thinking, Downstairs for Highland Dancing
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 discovering how to find the perfect fitting pair of jeans without even trying them on! What would you change if you were in charge of the next Olympics and a TOAT XI nomination that is border line robbery! The impact of Coronavirus on the AFL, the series of unfortunate soft tissue injuries in the NRL and Alastair Clarkson's blow up about rule enforcement. We find out the rankings from our afternoon learning Highland Dancing, who is best at using the vacuum cleaner around at Haz's house and Leighthal produces some more clangers on the buttons. What an episode!All the boys were powered by the Alchemy Smoothies this week! Check out their delightful range here. Thanks for the support!

48. Football or Soccer? Any Jokes in the Locker?
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 news was, he agreed to wearing a microphone and captured the competitive spirit, horrific skill and ordinary one liners on display!We chatted about the Coronavirus case that was plaguing the AFL and Essendon in particular! Note that since recording it has all pretty much been resolved but we were definitely not about to record again.We also tried the "Don't Laugh" challenge as we told each other some cracking Dad Jokes, and you would be surprised by the player who performed the most admirably in that game.There is barely any space left in the Social Sin Bin, we fix the game of Quidditch and get some cracking TOAT XI nominations!The Lattes and Smoothies have never tasted better it will not shock you to know, thanks to the guys at Alchemy Cordials.Thanks for the support!

47. Shayna Jack: Getting Back To The Olympics
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 coverage only. If you are here for the tell all... that isn't really our style. However, Shayna goes into far more depth about the process of her being sent home and the limbo she is currently in than we were expecting. It is fascinating to get a story from her side, without huge clickbait headlines and bikini shots. She informs us of the fallout from that day, what it means for her work, her study and her future goals and ambitions. There are certainly two sides to every story! It is a real struggle to pry Shayna away from our dog "Ruby" for long enough to get some answers out of her! She describes her love for animals, how awesome her partner is and Haz's strength in board games. A truly fascinating chat and one that we certainly appreciate a great deal. We made a delightful Mango Smoothie for Shayna and she gives it a live review during the Poddy! Alchemy Cordials Australia are producing plenty of quality in the Smoothie area and you can check them out here.We do appreciate your support so much!

46. Tim Notting: Premierships and Footy Trips
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 Grand Final! Tim brings some outstanding stories about that group's ability to celebrate wins, his own impressive motorbike riding feat and the way to keep yourself awake when you are getting weary from too many 'Britney Spears'. There is some real chat about the heartache of being offered up for trade, his big regret from his career and what life after footy looks like. However, there is plenty of room for entertaining discussion as we get to the bottom of where he was born, the reason he got off Facebook and our chances of getting his wife Jodie on the podcast—former Olympic Gold Medalist, Jodie Henry.You will enjoy the chat with Tim a great deal. The phone line even cuts out for a little bit but everyone is in such great form they just deal with it like it is water off a duck's back. Real smooth. Speaking of smooth… Alchemy Cordials Australia are have a delightful Smoothie range that we have been getting around this week, check them out here.We appreciate your support so much!

45. He Looks Like Allan Border and Leigh Took the Wrong Order
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 his pun telling, Skin becomes more and more aggressive with every one and there are plenty more button pressing dramas in the race for MVP!As always Alchemy Cordials Australia get some well deserved recognition from our guests.

44. Courtney Hill: When Opportunity Knocks and Constitution Jocks
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 research again ensures that there are some stitch ups throughout the interview. However, they backfire somewhat as each co-host ends up with a separate challenge against her that they need to complete. Leighthal’s karaoke battle is one that we particularly look forward to.Listen right to the end to ensure you hear the stories about just how persuasive Courtney can be to her teammates, and why she is searching for a Bonds sponsorship!Speaking of sponsors… ours is quality. Alchemy Coridals Australia are doing great things for your taste buds, check them out here.Remember that the TOAT XI nominations are still in their prime so please visit our website to ensure your recording is played on the next podcast.

43. Sco Mo Presser, Penny Saving Confessor and Who’s the Best Guesser?
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. We get through some quality Tightest Of All Time (TOAT) nominations, including a cracking story from Adam Hollioake. We catch up with FOTS Andrew Gode as he fills us in on the things keeping him occupied during isolation, best craft beers, NRL Supercoach and Anti-vaxxers. He then tells you a way to make free money with the “Sco Mo first word at presser” novelty bet. There is rhyming slang, borderline horrible puns and plenty of pot shots at each other again throughout. Get in touch guys via our website to get the TOAT nominations in. Visit the website also to pick up your We Got The Chocolates Merch. This link will take you straight to the shop. Enjoy this one and best wishes in the future.

42. Joe Burns: Eye Control and Giving Haz a Bowl
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, his plumbing apprenticeship and plenty more.Leigh managed to sneak in a story about his first-grade debut which was against Joe! Leigh put on a real batting masterclass scoring 29 in the first six hours of the day so it was great to get Joe's thoughts on that innings. You will go on a journey again in this interview. There is banter, and classic Heazlett sponsorship infomercials but Joe also managed to make room for some really meaningful insights into what it takes to be a professional athlete and what it means in the bigger picture of his life.It was an eye opening chat that you don’t want to miss, and a pleasure to have Joe on the show.Get in touch guys via our website. Enjoy this one and best wishes in the future. WGTC Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

41. Tightest Of All Time
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 Feldman has mentioned it in Episode 15, Christian Welch in Episode 40 and finally we have provided the resources for you to nominate your friend who fits the Tightest Of All Time category. It will be glorious and we kick it off with a pre recorded nomination from Feldman.If that doesn't get you over the line you also have a Skins Stats segment on graphing, a story about cultural awareness while working at Woolworths and why you should be wary of the "Greatest Pizza Ever".

40. Christian Welch: Try the Front Row and Housemates You Know
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 Storm vs Rebels Monopoly battles (this includes some serious swipes at friend of the show, Brad Wilkin!) Christian even tells you how to spot the "tightest bloke of all time" in your friendship circle. Found you Heazlett. Get in touch guys via our website. Enjoy this one and best wishes in the future.

39. Guess Those Beats, Burger Cheats and Wash Your Sheets
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 Leighthal’s case; is it okay to sleep next to your clean bedsheets after washing them because you are too lazy to make your bed? Get in touch guys via our website. Enjoy this one and best wishes in the future. WGTC Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

37. The Robbery
Episode 37: Well who would have thought that walking to your car on a Friday afternoon could provide this level of content! Leigh describes the circumstances of his second car theft experience. However, more importantly Mitch and Sam outline the numerous life lessons that Facebook has been more than willing to provide. Leigh reflects on how he could have improved his handling of that situation whilst Mitch runs through the longest "Social Sin Bin" segment ever recorded. In other news we chat Esports with Dave "Butters" Wehl who actually runs an Esports business and provides some incredibly insightful chat to an incredibly unaware host (Leigh again). Mitch researches the Coronavirus statistics for Belarus, we have a visit from the grammar police and there is a new sponsor on board which always gives Haz something to talk about! If you guys can bash this episode into your ears as much as everyone on Facebook wanted Leigh to bash the guy that stole his wallet... we should be in great shape. Enjoy! WGTC Hosted on Acast.

36. Jemma Mi Mi: Get the Rebound and Hear My Sheep Sound
Jemma Mi Mi is the first Professional Netballer we have had on the Pod and she is a jet with the microphone in hand! She speaks to us about her ambitions for the Queensland Firebirds, her experience with the Australia A Development team and how many kilometres she covers in a game. We need to mention that this was recorded a few weeks ago and it seems like a completely different time. The birds are in the background chirping, Jemma was preparing for the upcoming season and people were allowed out of their houses in groups of 3 or more. That has since come to a screeching halt so her preparation would look slightly different now. That being said it is still a fascinating chat where we find out about her netball but also the things everyone wants to know such as; how short is Leigh, which Mi Mi sister is the most naturally gifted and what is her go to Karaoke song? She also sets the bar very high for future guests on the podcast... start practicing your animal noises. Great to be back! Enjoy this episode, visit the website and ramble responsibly as per usual.

35. Marnus Labuschagne: A Summer to Decipher and Who is Michelle Pfeiffer?
Episode 35: Marnus is back with a real microphone, plenty of hand gestures and some superb stories. Leigh sits down with him and covers everything from being a concussion super sub to ranking chocolates in order of preference. 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 played in his run of form. There are also some quality stitch up questions Marnus answers such as; who is your nemesis in Table Tennis, was the time Matt Renshaw got you out LBW actually out (you would think quite a simple question but it is a very descriptive response), and talk us through your Second Grade hundred (no other grade 100's aside from First Grade. Marnus has since gone to South Africa for the One Day series so we wish him all the best there!Thank you for your dedicated listening across Season 2. Good luck in the future and ramble responsibly.

34. Yarns with Jans and a Story with Rory
Episode 34: A couple of different voices are on show in this episode. Rory Smith joins us for a chat with his main intention being to talk about Heazlett's debut in garage cricket and to deliver his ICC sanctioned GCR's (Garage Cricket Rankings for those playing at home). 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. Jana is back to tell us why she is too good for her brother, nominate her favourite cricket autobiography and to answer the common question Leigh asks; How late is too late? Haz looks at what people would change in Women's Cricket, we ask if the field is too big in the AFLW and we discuss our stance on the "Mankad". Give it a good listening to, continue to share it around and good luck in your future endeavours! Ramble Responsibly. WGTC Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

33. Charlie Hemphrey: Overseas Recruit, Joe Root and the Dinner Suit
Episode 33: Charlie Hemphrey joins us on the phone to discuss his rather unique pathway to being a professional cricketer in Australia and England. Charlie is a member of the Queensland Bulls squad and therefore gets to spend more time with Haz than most. He also plays for Glamorgan in the English County Championship where Marnus Labuschagne and Nick Selman played last season so he has stored up some quality stories. Have a listen as he tells us how he got the nickname "dinner suit", discusses whether he or Matthew Renshaw is a better part time bowling option and gives details on how he ran out Selman in a county game. He goes through how to name a child, how to get a good looking duck and what makes Marnus so good. This chat also came straight after a Brisbane Heat loss so he gets to turn the tables on Haz as he becomes the interviewer for a section of the episode! A quote from the man himself... "If anyone is struggling to sleep, have a listen to me" (Hemphrey 2020). Please enjoy. Get a touch and Ramble Responsibly. WGTC Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Episode 32: Leigh, Sam and Mitch are with you for stories such as: Haz sitting next to AB de Villiers on the flight home, Mitch getting stuck trying cosmetic beauty samples in a shopping centre and Leigh being massively "Punkd' by Bazley's cousin on the Sunshine Coast last week. We host Haz's post season exit interview for the Brisbane Heat, place multiple Heat "supporters" in the Social Sin Bin, and finally get through the 'eyes closer together' theory in Mitch's Skin's Stats.

31. Adam Hollioake: Jokes With Smokes
Episode 31: Adam Hollioake sits down with Sam and Leigh to talk about his cricketing journey, wearing thongs and jeans as a combination, playing a Shane Warne straight ball and running with a parachute on. He launches into a couple of his best stories after chalking up more life experiences than you can poke a stick at. Adam played international cricket for England, competed as a professional fighter, designed a TV show and plenty more, however it is his ability to take the listener on a journey that makes this an episode not to be missed. A highlight would have to be when he recalls the process of trying to get MS Dhoni on his TV show! Please enjoy! Good luck in the 4s. WGTC Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

30. Bahamas Tax Bracket and Striking Dad With a Racquet
Episode 30: We are back on the tools for a serious length of time this week as you can see by the duration.

29. Harley Ingleby: Longboarding Tricks and Go Pro Sticks
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 although risk being outshone by a 70 year old!

28. Julios or Nerds?
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 that for us. Haz also received some Scottish dancing lessons for Christmas which is exciting for everyone concerned. We even find time to look at the biggest sporting moments across the decade!

27. Brad Wilkin: Super Rugby Games and Remembering Names
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.Make sure you get your ears around this one and if you like it don’t be afraid to share it with a friend!

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