The gang is back together for a cracker! Mitch is joined by fan favourite Callum calling in from the coast, James “Beals” in full research mode, and Emma holding down the netball desk.
(Episode 11 is lost to the podcast abyss forever… don’t ask 😂)

🏀 Super Netball – Emma breaks it down: Aiken-George smashes the all-time games record (255!), Vixens cop a shock loss, Swifts are on the rise, and massive respect to the legend returning to play just 10 weeks after giving birth.
🚗 Callum’s Car Chaos – The Falcon is now scattered across town in bits. Hire car is still a turd. The Jeep survives… for now.
🎡 Festival Security Life – Callum swaps sides of the fence at a mid-north coast music fest. $50/hr, gumboots, jaw swingers and a thick haze of herb in the air. Absolute scenes.
😤 New Segment: Mitch’s Rant Corner – Local rugby copped it this week — brawls, red cards, clubs dodging responsibility. Mitch went off and the crew voted to keep the segment. Motion passed unanimously.
🏉 Magic Round – Sellout crowds, Caxton Street packed, one-day passes, and what Brisbane 2032 might mean for rugby league.
⚾ Yankees Update – Beals is officially converted. Turns out baseball is way more tactical than cricket.
🌿 Best Smells Debate – Fresh bread, rain on hot concrete, cut grass… then Callum hits us with two-stroke, pre-DPF diesel and paint thinners 😂 “I’m gonna sound like a crackhead here.”
🍺 Live Sponsorship Pitch – Cal delivers an unscripted Carlton/Spears box masterpiece. “We do a podcast, we talk about fun stuff, we like beers… send us some.”
Next Episode Teaser: Ep. 13 live in the studio with Beals + Australia’s first Paralympian guest Emilie Miller 👀 You do NOT want to miss this one.
