Rarefied Air, Dogheads & The Middle Eastern Finger

For the final show of the year we wrap up deluxe the NRL Grand Finals, both men's and women's, starting and finishing with a deep dive inside the enigmatic Reece Martin's head, driving by the big brawl in the NRLW Final, Teddy Swims v Snoop, the Telstra wristband, a slight digression through the Sydney 2000 Olympics, Spinal Tap 2, Madge and Bellyache, and, as always, much, much more. Including a magnificent ode to Craig Bellamy from Denis Carnahan. Thanks to all for listening this year, and a big thanks to our Producer and Editor Mash Ferris & The Personal Best Studios for helping us get this nonsense on the air every week. See yas in 2026!  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

With special guest Redfern Pat out of the NRL Buinker and LIVE in the studio this week, After discussing the short lived "Freya Fires Up!" show on SKYNews and the misappropriation of the Fire Up! brand, Snoop Dogg and his doppelganger, Teddy Swims' cancellation, shenanigans  at the Caringbah Inn, and an emo Raiders lament from Denis Carnahan, our hosts finally get down to talking about some football....or do they? Thanks for listening and see you next week for the GF Wrapup XSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The underdog Shark’s triumph, Canberra’s lack of soul - and humour - exposed, the astonishing hypocrisy of the Roosters’ “Zero Tolerance” policy towards leaning in to look at bags of powder, the ‘unsustainable” culture at Belmore Rd, and the breathtaking Panthers….all get discussed in this week’s episode. As usual we get a brilliant NRL parody song from Denis Carnahan and, as always, much more that we can’t discuss here. Thanks for listening. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week it seems the travails of several NRL venues are all over the news and we wholeheartedly embrace the discussion! From The Gateway to Hell and the hot springs under Allianz to the idea of relocating the Roosters to Mudgee we leave no stone unturned. Denis Carnahan goes back to the 80's with Big Club Theory and we discuss "Spoonbowl" and much, much more. Thanks for listening xSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's not very often that our hosts get to bask in the rarefied air of the lowly Tigers and Dragons both winning on a weekend - and beating the top 2 teams in the comp, but it seems they'd prefer to concentrate on the true bad boys of Rugby League - the journalists! Have a listen to see what they're on about....as always it's the best alternative look at League going aroundSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
