    Kicking Back (with Kat Haddad)

    Kicking Back (with Kat Haddad)

    Wowee do we have an absolutely massive episode this week for you guys, featuring a very special guest. We’ve sent Kush to the bench to welcome one of Australia’s leading sports broadcasters - Kat Haddad. Kat has appeared on Optus Sport, SBS as well as a number of podcasts. We learn about Kat’s unorthodox journey to get to where she is today, her work during the Women’s World Cup, her thoughts on the NRL and much more.
    As we normally do with our guests, our game this week is “Bullslut'' as Kat goes head to head against Rohit and Miguel. Can the lads finally get a win against a guest?
    We end this week with an old classic segment, “Higher or Lower.” This week we’re putting head to head, iconic Australian sporting moments of the 21st century. From Cathy Freeman’s win at the 2000 Olympics to John Aloisi’s winning penalty to qualify for the 2006 World Cup, we cover it all.

    The Art of Negotiation

    The Art of Negotiation

    Plenty of yarns in this week’s episode and to start us off, Kush is back from his holiday and he brings tales from the Motherland. From negotiating with street merchants, to getting scammed and almost bribing police, Kush had the most quintessential Indian experience. Sen then remembers a story regarding one of his ex workmates before we continue our new series “Cop or Not.”
    We really went above and beyond for our game this week “Logo Quiz.” Based on the famous board game, Ro asks the rest of the boys questions from the game with the first person to 10 points declared the winner.
    Our final segment this week is “What Your _ Says About You.” You may have seen this trend online before but now it’s time for our take on it. We have a number of categories we discuss in which we just rattle off the most number of stereotypes we can in the space of 30 minutes.

    Marta's Moving Mad

    Marta's Moving Mad

    Huge episode for you guys this week and we start with Ro asking the boys a philosophical question straight off the bat - as he asks them the last time they wasted $100. We then get another tantalising update in the Marta saga aka “the neighbour from Hell.” Finally we’re starting a new series this week called “Cop or Not,” where we rate your company’s merchandise.
    Our game this week is the “10 Question Challenge.” Ro and Migs have each been given famous people which they must guess. As the name of the game suggests, they only have 10 yes/no questions to ask to get to the answer.
    The final segment this week is “Secret Love” and we’re talking about things Sydneysiders secretly love but are too scared/proud to admit. Wide array of topics for this one ranging from Town Hall Maccas/KFC to Vivid and even City Rail. Some pretty hot takes here.

    The Undefeated Carny

    The Undefeated Carny

    Bit happening this week in the world of TCB. Ro begins with a discovery of a children’s YouTube channel with over a 100 million subscribers and the boys slowly realise they will never achieve anywhere near as much as this 8 year old has. Miguel has had a huge week as well as he brings some yarns from the Easter Show and the Ramadan Night Markets. Finally, Sen pledges that he will be in the Paddock for next year’s Australian F1 Grand Prix.
    This week we were feeling adventurous so we decided to give “Bullslut'' another go. This week’s categories include naming vegetables, shops and junk food amongst others.
    Our last segment this week is “Life Hacks.” In case the listeners didn’t know already, the boys love a good scheme or get rich quick idea, so we put the call out to the listeners. We discuss the listener submissions as well as some of our own life hacks.

    Hand Onions

    Hand Onions

    Rather gnarly start to this week’s pod with a story about a cemetery straight off the rip. Sen tells a story he heard from a friend about his supernatural experience at a cemetery one night leading to a wider discussion on ghost stories. Ro then shares his own horror story of being accosted by 2 older gentlemen who were into some very nefarious activities.
    Kush has graced the boys this week with his game “Hints.” The man has really outdone himself by concocting an absolute doozy of a game with the wheels falling off very quickly, leading to chaos and anarchy. I wish I could describe the game or what the rules are, but I truly still have no idea.
    We end with an old TCB classic “Overrated/Underrated,” this time with props. We haven’t done this segment in a long time, but as per usual we put the call out to the listeners on instagram to let us know things they thought were overrated and things they thought were underrated for us to discuss.

    Get Em Onside

    Get Em Onside

    Got a full house this week with Kush back from his mysterious absence last week. Ro starts with a quick mind your manners featuring a friend who was given raw chicken not once, not twice but three times! Sen then dobs Ro in for inexplicably triple booking himself for one night - including booking an international flight.
    The game this week is “Fact or Cap,” very straightforward as Sen gives the boys some common statements and they must decide if it’s true or false. Huge asterisk surrounding the winner of this week’s game.
    For a second week in a row, we end with “Pet Peeves” this time for community sports. We asked the listeners to write in with their grievances but really this was just a venting session for the boys to get the demons off their chest.
