This week on the pod, Joey’s back on his Perth Storm obsession as we hit the 15-year anniversary of the wildest weather event in WA history. Junior’s taking us on a Bali horror tour, exposing the absolute state of their public toilet setup (brace yourselves). And we’ve got THE BEST edition of Pickup Please we’ve ever played!

EP 235 | The Death of Free Footy & Our ChatGPT Dependency
21st March 2025
This week on the pod, Joey’s got beef with road signs, claiming auto plate reading is absolute rubbish. Jake’s taking on the AFL, as the death of live, free-to-air footy on Saturdays has him fired up. Is this the beginning of the end for free footy? And Junior’s diving into the world of brand slogans, revealing two massive companies that have been running the same endline for decades!
Plus we chat about the world’s growing love (and total reliance) on ChatGPT, award this week’s Everyday Hero to a bloke with a rare blood type, who saved millions of sick kids with his selfless donations.
And finally, we send a massive shoutout to Luke Jackson, an old friend of the show, as he hits the 100-game milestone in the AFL this week!
EP 234 | AFL Footy & What Makes Life Special with Essendon Legend Dyson Heppell
14th January 2025
We genuinely couldn’t be more excited to welcome one of our all-time favourite footballers, Dyson Heppell, to the show this week! For those who’ve been with us over the past 4 years, you’ll know just how much love we have for Dyson.
With 253 games under his belt and a six-year stint captaining the Essendon Bombers, Dyson’s career on the field speaks for itself. But it’s what he’s done off the field that truly sets him apart.
We dive into his incredible friendship with Harrison Pennicott, the story behind the Haytch Label gear, and the bucket list they’re ticking off together. We also chat about Dyson’s journey leading the Bombers through the chaos of the supplement saga, his time on The Footy Show, and what would Dyson be doing if he wasn’t playing AFL?
Dyson is the definition of an exceptional human - from his mindset to the way he goes about life, this chat is packed with insights, laughs, and stories you won’t hear anywhere else. Whether you’re a diehard Bombers fan or you’ve never watched a second of footy in your life, this one is for everyone.
