This week on The KOKO Show we come to your eyes and ears by way of the Central Tablelands in NSW as the fellas finish off our inaugural season of KOKO in Orange. Despite the boys being of weary body and mind, they bound their Northern Hemisphere inflicted wounds, popped a couple Nurofen plus and got back on this bucking bronco of a show to finish the year off in grassroots style. When we started this show, all we wanted to do is help the average Aussie footy fan fall back in love with rugby again, whilst giving back to the OG footy fans in our rural and regional communities. Oh Boy! Let us bloody tell you rugby union is alive and well if northwest NSW is anything to go by and we can’t thank The Saltbush Hotel, Orange and the surrounding areas enough for their support of the show in our final episode of season one.In this week’s episode we put a pretty little Chrissy bow on what was a whirlwind debut season for Kick Offs and Kick Ons, discussing the year that was 2024 in both the contexts of our show as well as the World Rugby landscape as a whole. The lads breakdown their highs and lows of the year, who and what caught their eye on the field and what 2025 has in store for all of us. We would like to give a big thank you to our headline sponsor MYER for all of their support this year and allowing us to create a show that accurately conveys the light and shade of Australian Rugby. Plus, we would also like to show some love to all of our sponsors throughout 2024 for being vital cogs in the wheel of success that was KOKO 1.0. In a year that has seen us laugh, cry, sit on milk crates and then travel to all corners of the globe, it is you our fans that deserve the final thanks. Without your support week in and week out, we wouldn't be able to put this poor excuse of a podcast together and for that we are eternally grateful. So, for the final time in 2024 lather yourself in baby oil, put on your comfiest lounging around g-banger and let the buttery tones of KOKO take you on a journey. It is time for Kick Offs and Kick Ons.TIMECODES 00:00 - Start of the show 01:36 - Introducing the show03:51 - Introducing the boys07:05 - Thanks to the Saltbush Hotel for having us10:56 - Highlights and lowlights of the year17:41 - Favourite guest 21:20 - Budgy Smuggler23:40 - THE WALLABIES YEAR AND AWARDS29:16 - Joe Schmidt’s future in Australian Rugby 33:39 - Wallabies five year plan 37:03 - The Lions tour39:12 - SIX NATIONS PREVIEW42:25 - THE ALL BLACKS’ YEAR IN 202446:23 - THE SPRINGBOKS’ YEAR IN 202448:52 - ARGENTINA’S YEAR IN 2024 54:44 - Match Fit brought to you by MYER 01:03:01 - Drew thanks the fans of the show 01:04:17 - What does KOKO look like in 2025?01:07:53 - Close of the show and season 1 of KOKOBig thanks to MYER for their support and remember you can buy everything you saw on the show from you local MYER or online - https://www.myer.com.auCheers also to BeefEater for coming back on board with KOKO, please check out their websites to see their great selection of BBQ's, rangehoods and fridges.AUSTRALIA - https://www.appliancesonline.com.au/brand/beefeaterEUROPE - https://beefeaterbbqeurope.co.uk/pages/contact-usA massive thanks to our new beer sponsor, Easy Times Brewing Co.

This week on The KOKO Show the lads leave their luggage-less European odyssey behind to take on the delicious yet dangerous deserts of Dubai. As we all know December signals the end of the International Test season down under, with the resurgent Wallabies going down in a tight tussle against the intoxicating Irish in Dublin. With that being said the KOKO Crew breaks down all the ins and outs of that encounter and how Aussie fans should be buoyed by what we saw in Joe Schmidt’s heartbreaking homecoming. However, as we close the book on 2024’s Test Match madness, the lads open up the sensational sevens scrapbook as we look at all the action from the Emirates Dubai Sevens. We trade in the slush and sleet of soggy Europe for the sun and sand of the UAE, to bring you a cracking show from the comfort of the Emirates Dubai Sevens Sunroom, as we celebrate the Aussie women and the Fiji men for claiming their respective titles over the weekend. Plus, the gang are joined by two of the all time greats who are now part of the HSBC red polo stable raking in that global dollar, so please get ready to enjoy the stories and world class banter from Bryan Habana and Michael Hooper.To cap off a cracking episode we express our love and support for all the people and entities involved in putting together this KOKO Tour and of course we show our appreciation for the beautiful people at MYER with an all time mixed bag Match Fit all they from the Dubai desert. As we near the end of our inaugural season as The KOKO Show we encourage you not to worry and be happy because we promise to be back bigger and better next year.

This week on the KOKO Show the lads are coming to you from the billionaire's backyard, Monaco. In a nation known for its tangy tax breaks, OTT opulence and a general intolerance for Aussie ‘riff raff’, there are four bog standard blokes with no voices, peaking anxiety levels and rented tuxedos leaving their mark on this really tidy town. We are in Prince Albert’s country for the World Rugby Awards and after dragging Holiday Swoop away from the open bar, Drew away from stalking Dupont and putting Goit’s shirt back on for the red carpet, we found ourselves just a little sliver of time to bring you a truly luxe podcasting presentation of perfection. As the Autumn Internationals come to close with only one match remaining next weekend, with the Aussies taking on the Irish, we give you a full breakdown of all the action from week three of the November Test Match madness. Moreover, despite the panel being down in the dumps after watching the Wallabies’ Grand Slam hopes get murdered at Murrayfield, we run through all the ins and outs of Scotland’s sublime sinking of HMAS ‘Schmidt Hot’ and how the Aussies will bounce back against the Irish. Plus, we will give you a little taste of all the matches from across the weekend, as well as all the winners and grinners from World Rugby’s night of nights. I mean it aint the Logies or the RSL’s mega meat tray raffle, but Monaco is pretty cool I guess. So, get yourself squared away as we bring you MYER’s first Monaco mixed bag Match Fit and some seriously sensational ‘Super Sizzlers’ brought to you by BeefEater and Appliances Online. This show will certainly bring you vacay vibes, as boys go full ‘maxo relaxo’ in the middle of the Med. Despite our show standing out like dogs balls in such a serene setting, we promise to deliver you a demure dictation of the most distinguished debauchery in all of rugby. It is time now for Kick Offs and Kick Ons the Monaco edition.

This week on The KOKO Show we come to your eyes and ears from foggy old London, where people come to complain and sun tans come to die. The Special guest this week on KOKO does not have a long neck nor feathers, but boy he is a bit of a goose. He is England’s most capped player of all time and from all accounts one of the best blokes to ever grace a footy field. We apologize you have to listen to this pint-sized pain in the ass for a whole episode, but we are truly grateful that Mr. Ben Youngs dropped by for a chat.The boys run through the whole slate of Test Match footy from week 2 of the November Internationals, starting with the Wallabies record-breaking win over the woeful Welsh, England falling short once again to their Southern Hemisphere counterparts, Les Bleus bouncing the big boy All Blacks and plenty more from around the grounds. Thanks to our dear friends at MYER we bring you some silky summer threads from the dullest place on earth in a confusingly beautiful mixed bag ‘Match Fit’ and we fire up the grills to deliver our ‘Super Sizzlers’ from the weekend’s action, brought to you by BeefEater and Appliances Online. So lock up families, chain up your pets, and clear out your safety deposit boxes. The KOKO Contiki Tour is in full swing and Holiday Swoop has been let out of his cage. As we have always said on this show, when the Wallabies ‘Schmidt It In’, KOKO ‘Schmidts’ alongside them but one thing is for sure our boys turn that ‘Schmidt’ up to a ten. So, sit back and enjoy as we lock in on those kilt-wearing caber tossers, that's right Scotland you’re next!

This week on The KOKO Show we take a minute as a nation to bask in the radiant light of victory and the glorious healing properties of ‘Schmidting it in’ over the old foe. The lads whisk you away on an all expenses paid trip in and around how the Wallabies managed to win their first match against England at Twickenham since 2015, keeping the hopes of breaking the 40 year Grand Slam drought well and truly alive. To help us navigate this titanus tussle at ‘Twicks’ we tried to think of a former English great that would willingly allow us to rub his nose in the fact that Australia is simply just better as a country, so we landed on Gits’ big burly and often baked bear of a best mate, Mr Alex Corbisiero who gives the show some much needed direction pointing out the areas of the game that caught his eye and the importance of professional identity. Furthermore, to put a bow on this vital victory for the mighty men in gold we dish up our ‘Super Sizzlers’ brought to you by BeefEater and Corbs generously graces us with a ‘phat rap’ dedicated to our show.Plus, we also cover all the other big dog bouts including the All Black’s upset of Ireland, the Boks silencing the Scots and of course Fiji whaling on Wales. We know what you are thinking, what are you guys wearing whilst you piece together this rugby roundtable of awesomeness? Well thanks to MYER the fellas are fashionably on point and they show you just what to buy for summer in the newest instalment of the always wonderful mixed bag ‘Match Fit’. So lie back and get comfy as we tell you a raunchy tale from the weekend entitled ‘The Grand Slam’, where the Northern Hemisphere wined and dined the South, then we rolled around in their fields a little, used their shower, sullied their tooth brush and never called them again, leaving the North’s ego bruised, used and confused heading into week 2 of the tour. It’s time for an all new Kick Offs and Kick Ons.TIMECODES:00:00 - Start 02:29 - Introductions 06:56 - ‘How Was Your Weekend Swoop?’ segment10:13 - Swoop’s return to the ‘KOKO Match Review’14:31 - Movember16:00 - London City Sevens16:35 - Introduce Alex Corbisiero 21:28 - San Diego Legion doco25:00 - ENGLAND V WALLABIES MATCH REVIEW44:06 - Super Sizzler brought to you by BeefEater 51:09 - Corb’s special rap for The KOKO Show55:16 - KOKO European Tour56:00 - Dubai Sevens56:42 - IRELAND V ALL BLACKS MATCH REVIEW01:03:30 - SCOTLAND V SOUTH AFRICA MATCH REVIEW 01:06:26 - WALES V FIJI MATCH REVIEW 01:08:51 - Match Fit brought to you by MYER 01:16:58 - KOKO Final Show in Orange 01:18:24 - Easy Times Brewing Co KOKO Christmas collection01:21:26 - Dear Drew01:25:19 - Close of the show Big thanks to MYER for their support and remember you can buy everything you saw on the show from you local MYER or online - https://www.myer.com.auCheers also to BeefEater for coming back on board with KOKO, please check out their websites to see their great selection of BBQ's, rangehoods and fridges.AUSTRALIA - https://www.appliancesonline.com.au/brand/beefeaterEUROPE - https://beefeaterbbqeurope.co.uk/pages/contact-usFinally a massive thanks to our new beer sponsor, Easy Times Brewing Co.

This week in the ‘KOKO Match Review’ the boys celebrate an amazing Wallabies win against the old foe England in the dying moments at Twickenham. The ‘Gladiators of Gold’ showed a new identity of grit and determination to claim only their second Test Match win over the motherland in their last twelve matchups. The gang analyzed Aussie debutant Joseph Sua’ali’i’s performance as he became only the second Wallaby behind our very own Matt Giteau to play their first professional rugby union match on the international stage. Although Joseph’s bank balance might have a few less commas than Goits, he did however manage a feat that our little legend couldn't by claiming player man of the match honours in his very first outing. In a game where both sides landed punches and weathered storms, the lads highlight that for the Wallabies Len Ikitau had a formidable performance in every facet of the game and for the English it is fair to say Marcus Smith has put a stake in the ground as a premier fly half in world rugby. However, it was Joe Schmidt’s men who dug deep for the full eighty minutes and ensured that the always elusive Grand Slam title was still alive and kicking for the Wallabies in 2024. The lads will cover every square inch of this cracking Test Match documenting the emotional ebbs and flows of International rugby and how the mighty Wallabies took a Schmidt on England’s parade. So wake the fuck up and smell the roses that we just stole from those pesky primadonna Poms. Australia it is time to stop checking your blood pressure, pop a ‘xanny’, pour yourself a spritz and just bathe in the warm and fuzzies that a win over England provides. Please enjoy another dose of the ‘KOKO Match Review’.Big thanks to MYER for their support and remember you can buy everything you saw on the show from you local MYER or online - https://www.myer.com.auCheers also to BeefEater for coming back on board with KOKO, please check out their websites to see their great selection of BBQ's, rangehoods and fridges.AUSTRALIA - https://www.appliancesonline.com.au/brand/beefeaterEUROPE - https://beefeaterbbqeurope.co.uk/pages/contact-usFinally a massive thanks to our new beer sponsor, Easy Times Brewing Co.

This week on The KOKO Show the boys are joined by a Wallabies Test Centurion, pint sized powerhouse and just all around great bloke. This fella was known for his delicious service from the base of the ruck and the amazing ability to live on a steady diet of self confidence and Pepsi Max. That is right, Will Genia drops by to impart his wisdom, footy insights and humour on our delightful panel of dullards. In this episode the boys break down the All Black’s nail biting victory over England, as well as Scotland's schooling of a feeble Fiji at Murrayfield. Fret not ye KOKO cool cats, this is not where the ‘ra ra’ ramble ends, as the fellas fine tooth comb their way through week 1 of the November Internationals giving you personalised previews of all the hot tips and count flips when it comes to deciding who is better between the North and South. However, we spend a little more time on how Joe’s ‘Gladiators of Gold’ are shaping up to dismantle the motherland and priming themselves to sufficiently ‘Schmidt’ on England’s parade. Plus, thanks to our beautiful friends at MYER for keeping this show on its toes, we slide out another silky yet sensual ‘Match Fit’ that promises to hit you in all the right places. Furthermore, with the mercury rising and the ocean glittering our hankering for a grilling session is coming to the surface, so thanks to BeefEater and Appliances Online the time for a BBQ is now. So sit back, plug in your iPod shuffle, flip a couple of snags and bask in the glow of KOKO, as we prepare the nation to watch our mighty Wallabies turn Twickenham into a temple of torture, whilst joyfully downing our foes that wear that silly rose. Ladies and Gentlemen, It’s time for Kick Offs and Kick Ons.TIMECODES:00:00 - Start of the show 02:42 - Introduce the boys 05:26 - Budgy Smuggler promo shoot06:33 - Rugby Roundup part 1 / Northern Hemisphere Legends07:30 - SCOTLAND V FIJI - REVIEW13:41 - ENGLAND V ALL BLACKS - REVIEW AND THE JOE MARLER HAKA SITUATION23:22 - Introduce Will Genia 25:10 - Hazing Will Genia26:36 - Will Genia on his time in Japan30:24 - Will’s opinion on the current Wallabies team 35:50 - Will on what it is like to play in the Northern Hemisphere 38:15 - KOKO Spring Tour plug39:36 - Start, Bench and Drop40:47 - Easy Times Brewing Co plug 41:01 - Will Genia on Joseph Sua’ali’i43:53 - ENGLAND V WALLABIES - PREVIEW53:27 - IRELAND V ALL BLACKS - PREVIEW59:32 - WALES V FIJI - PREVIEW01:02:22 - SCOTLAND V SOUTH AFRICA - PREVIEW01:04:08 - Match Fit brought to you by MYER01:09:13 - The KOKO Christmas Special in Orange01:10:10 - Super Sizzler brought to you by BeefEater01:12:44 - Close of the showBig thanks to MYER for their support and remember you can buy everything you saw on the show from you local MYER or online - https://www.myer.com.auCheers also to BeefEater for coming back on board with KOKO, please check out their websites to see their great selection of BBQ's, rangehoods and fridges.AUSTRALIA - https://www.appliancesonline.com.au/brand/beefeaterEUROPE - https://beefeaterbbqeurope.co.uk/pages/contact-usFinally a massive thanks to our new beer sponsor, Easy Times Beer Co.

This week on The KOKO Show the lads are back after a much needed hiatus, filled with meditation retreats, prostate exams and day trips to their local VIP gaming facilities. All in all it is fair to say that they are back with a renewed energy for life and the sole mindset of delivering to you our beautiful fans a just above average entertainment experience. With this being our first episode back on the horse after a break we thought let's not burden our beautiful minds with the pressures of a special guest, but rather let’s see this wild beast of a ‘no guest nonsense’ show organically grow to thoroughly encompass both the joys of rugby union and the unrivalled shenanigans deep within us all. Thanks to MYER this show is able to remain on the air and this week they kept the lights on so we can give you a full preview of the upcoming spring/autumn tours where us the salty Southerners will once again pull the pants down of some Northern nobodys in dramatic Test Match fashion. In this episode we give you a full run sheet of how each team plans to ‘Schmidt it in’ north of the invisible line whilst also preparing the residence of the UK and Ireland for their impending arrival to the ‘Motherland’ for our highly anticipated KOKO Spring Tour brought to you by MIXR and the WRU. Plus, our sun kissed studs show off their exquisite summer ready loot from MYER in another masterful mixed bag Match Fit. We also sing our praises for the gorgeous humans at Easy Times Brewing Co for their delightfully delicious and drinkable drops and of course you can't have beer without a BBQ, so we give a massive thanks to BeefEater and AppliancesOnline for their continual support.So please raise your hands if you have missed us! Well we are back whether you like it or not and we are after only one thing and that is to be ‘Kings of the Noth’. As the Wallabies make tracks beyond the great divide to set the record straight, KOKO will be there every step of the way. As we have always said “When they Schmidt, we Schmidt, let’s all Schmidt it in together”.

This week on The KOKO Show we say farewell to The Rugby Championship and we congratulate the Springboks on their first win in 5 years, as well as acknowledging their charmingly chunky trophy case. Soon it is our belief Rassie will need a rental space to stash all their hard earned and metabolically manifested hardware from across the globe. In order to put a neat little bow on this Southern Hemisphere slugfest of Test Match rugby we get the boys to grade all the nations in the TRC on how they performed in the past six games and where they stack up as they head north for their respective spring tours. Whilst we talk about our little friends north of the Equator, the KOKO Crew drop the dates and details for their hotly anticipated spring time tour, as the lads get ready to ruthlessly rumble with live shows in Cardiff, London, Edinburgh and Dublin. So please head to our website for all the necessary information, so you the punter can be part of this debaucherous descent on the UK and Ireland.As we take a little step back from the Test Match arena this week, we decided that there is no greater distraction from the ebbs and flows of footy than our next very special guest. If you ever need to fill a pod from whistle to whistle then this bloke is your answer, because when he gets tired talking about himself he has every expectation that you will pick up the baton and continue this self-centered lovefest. This larger than life loveable larrikin stopped by KOKO HQ for an unforgettable session and turned this once quaint and humble rugby show into the throbbing hog it has always wanted to be. So please put your hands together for this full time fucking legend and part time grumpy bastard. He is a big, bald, beautiful Brisbane boy and he is The KOKO Show’s Mt Everest, it is the one and only Mr Wendell Sailor. However, in between all these delightfully Dell infused discussions we find some time to show our major sponsor MYER some love with a masterfully manicured mixed bag ‘Match Fit’. Plus, we sucked back on a couple of lagers from Easy Times Beer Co and discussed our ‘Super Sizzlers’ for the week thanks to our dear friends at BeefEater and Appliances Online. So if you are in need for a little trip down ‘Degenerate Drive’ to really loosen the shackles and get amped for summer then this show is the one for you. It is time for another episode of Kick Offs and Kick Ons.
