This week we ran into the one and only Adam Gilchrist... And completely deck chaired (folded under pressure). And that really set the theme for the episode. A couple of The Chocs are feeling the pressure in their love life and have turned to us for advice, and then we put ourselves under pressure trying to chime into conversation while wearing noise cancelling headphones... Brilliant. We wrap things up by discussing some perfect sponsorships and celebrating the end of Taylor Swift's Eras Tour. Hope you enjoy!

We have returned from Japan with plenty of stories regarding the calibre of toilets, vending machines and capsule hotels! We can give you plenty of Do's and Don'ts from our own travel experiences. Actually we certainly focus more on the Don'ts. We have a piece of advice for all journalists covering cricket this summer. There are more nicknames for mates and some of them are so specific they require a bit of back story! Here is how it went:

We are joined this week by Tim Naki, who has amassed a major following by betting 10c for every follower on the blackjack table.
We learn plenty about the strategy of Blackjack, come up with a nickname for his friend Rob, and Gode and Tim ambush the podcast to bond over horse racing.
Hell of a fun chat with Tim! Hope you enjoy. You can follow Tim on Instagram here.

Jana is ready and raring to confirm whether some of the 'Icks' Women have for Men, that we see on social media, are actually real. Fair to say that Leigh and Skin feel very targeted in this segment! Gode has some things he needs to get off his chest in a new small segment where he moans about things that annoy him. Oh he also wants it sponsored immediately. Leigh retells his and Mickus' flawless planning session from their golf day last week and we try get to the bottom of why Australians don't like the C word!
Homework: We're going to Japan with Jetstar so wave if you see us there!

There are songs but then there are also songs that have well and truly fallen off your radar but they still are class. That's what Mickus is looking for in his quest for the Ultimate Slapper. Leigh, Skin and Mickus all contributed deckchair moments to society last week, and Gode's reaction to each of them will absolutely not disappoint you. We get half a voice memo, a great Trivia game and a new Friend of the Show all within this episode. Oh and ChatGPT has written a diss track back at Gode! Here is what we covered:

Is there a piece of celebrity drama that has hooked you in? We are coming clean on ours this week. Leigh has failed to impress Gode despite being on fire domestically across the weekend. Lyric Substitut-Skin got a revamp and it is back with a vengeance. The game also provides some real diamond and deckchair moments. We learn plenty of new terms in Fictionary but most importantly... create the greatest podcasting award ever known.

Leigh and Skin have had a classic carpooling blunder. When we say a classic blunder we think there is a really good chance no one has done this before. We have some cracking Listen to the Chocs including a Halloween story that is more bad luck than bad management! Nicknames are something we use a lot in day to day life so we dive into some of the funniest nicknames we have had sent in! With the US election happening this week Skin wanted to go through some Real or Fake pledges that politicians have made across history. Are they real or did Skin write them? Who knows. The categories game at the end even reveals that Skin has a crippling fear of Swordfish! Here is how it went:

Gode finished this episode by saying to Leigh, "I think that's the funniest thing you have ever said." We had stopped recording at that point so you don't hear it, but it really does set the tone for the episode this week. We named a Tesla, gave credit to some under-appreciated achievements you guys have notched up that weren't fussed over enough at the time and tried a new game! Footage of Skin being run out has gone viral and we come to a staggering realisation about the pogs. Here is what you are in for:

Leigh and Skin have been putting on a batting masterclass this Cricket season and Leigh wants to start a little competition with Skin around this! We have a Joke of the Week segment for you this week but this time with a twist, the jokes are from the latest “Don’t Laugh Challenge” YouTube video! Making mistakes is in our nature but Skin has some of the biggest mistakes people have made whilst at work. We get Megan on the phone this week to talk about her and her partner Jordan's anniversary gift. Skin and Leighthal went to Moto GP and were on the grid pre race! Lastly, Mickus ran a 100km race this past weekend and the boys want the low down on everything that happened, Mickus has some insane stories from his run!

Do you believe magic? You might after Leigh's story because he has been trying to work out this bowling ball trick for a few days now. Leigh has also had a mare this week when watching the show Wicked, he got half way through and then realised that the show is based on a pretty popular film. Skin presents some of the funniest wrong number text messages to the boys, one of them was too much for him to read though! Gode thinks it might be time for Leigh to call stumps on his cricket career. We have some more amazing nicknames for you and may have found our absolute favourite! Here's how it went...

Leigh and Skin's mum (Dizzle) actually sent them a cracker of a video which shaped some conversation around sentences that would definitely start an argument with your significant other. Mickus thought he was friends with a famous athlete... but he isn't. We have some reviews and voice notes that are real noodle scratches but we work through them. Gode has invented a new game which we workshop on the episode so give us your feedback please. Here is how it went:

Scouts, we were fortunate enough to chat with a guest who has done something pretty incredible. His name is Tim Franklin, and he just completed the ultimate marathon—he's literally run around the world! From the deserts of Australia to freezing conditions in Europe and everything in between, he’s taken on an insane journey that’s pushed his mental and physical limits.
Now we chatted to him pretty much straight after he completed it but obviously it has taken us 4-6 business years to edit and release it so some of the references are a few weeks behind. But he is a great man and also hilarious. So we hope you enjoy his story.

We assume everyone is still celebrating the amazing Brisbane Lions win in the 2024 AFL Grand Final right? We don't even care if you are reading this in three years time! Gode has a horror story for Skin about parenting that had him thinking about his bathroom storage situation. We had an email from a listener asking for a Namestorm on the phrase 'That Slays' so that it's more acceptable for grown adults to use. The boys have another hypothetical debate that gets Gode thinking about what it would be like to be a Professional Golfer while Leigh more just lists the jobs he would be terrible at!

What would it take for you to complain about food to waitstaff at a restaurant? Would you give Morgan Freeman a pat on the back if he watched Shawshank Redemption in your lounge-room? Is it your responsibility to make sure gift cards work if you are giving the gift? These are the big questions that you didn't know you needed tackled, but we think you actually might. We also have some great marathon Do's and Don'ts for you (more specifically just Don'ts actually). A game that you probably thought was dead and buried is back. We think you'll enjoy this one!

We ran the Sydney Marathon which was apparently net down hill but we remain completely unconvinced. Due to the fact we were in Sydney, there is one collab that just needed to happen. So we trekked out to Hello Sport headquarters to catch up with Tom and Eddy from the Hello Sport Podcast. They were quick to give their opinions on our marathon running, golfing ability and ball striking generally. We hear the Hello Sport Origins story and then present the boys with an elite hypothetical which goes a direction we were really not prepared for. The art of jingles is discussed, how random a Lyric Substitut-Skin is and Taboo even gets a run. Elite episode. 1 star.

Gode literally got the chocolates last week and Leigh got... in trouble. Dave the Brit that knows Jack Shit bounced back to his best with a horrendous joke. We learnt this week what the heck 'Mukbang' content is and what choices or quotes have aged very poorly. We have been keeping a really watchful eye on our recovery in the lead up to the next marathon training session (which is an actual organised marathon called Sydney Marathon). We had to give a run down on what it is like to be Brisbane Lions supporters and Mickus makes his debut as games master! Here is how it went:

We needed to find out if a) Jana still has her original baby and b) get an update on the new baby so she makes her return to the podcast this week. The timing coincides nicely with Skin needing some parenting advice anyway and Jana plus all of you have that for him in spades. Apparently there are now 125 titles you can be called. Gone are the days of just Mr/ Mrs. This week we are looking to see if sleep can be the missing component that is holding us back from brilliant marathon times. Wonderful week and here is how it went:

Ask and you shall receive is an expression we hear a bit. Apparently this expression also applies to the very clothes Skin is wearing! We have some of the stretchiest names ever for a Pizza Oven which may ... but more than likely may not help our gem of a listener. Skin won marathon training week without running somehow (see Whoop details below), and the CEO of the social media app, Telegram, has been arrested and that got us thinking, there are a few other areas of our lives that need more moderation too. Here is how it went:

Let's not beat around the bush... the most exciting thing this week is the new Chocs gear. We couldn't be happier and it is now available here!
Gode blows up about the Joke of the Week selections after the Dave the Brit that knows Jack Shit went with a safe choice. Leigh presents real headlines, mixed in with some ones he has written himself and asks you to decipher them. We have been roped into running the Sydney Marathon and the wonderful people at Whoop have a challenge for us (you may remember them from such times as the 18 year old penis guy.

Nikki Potter makes sensational short form videos and she stopped by to have a chat on this week's episode. She actually attracts quite a bit of media attention for courageous feats such as relocating spiders but then also for fairly simple occurrences like... eating breakfast. By the way, is having dishes to do really that stressful? Gode has plenty of questions for Leigh about how a Hair Transplant works and he then gets a trivia question the most wrong that you could possibly see. Here is how it went:
