Cheese, Cheese, Cheese...the Hectic Cheese!

It's Round 2, 2026 and already things are falling apart. Anthony Siebold is sleeping fitfully after Manly-Warringah disintegrated in front of the eyes of all at Lottoland. The Knights can't keep their millionaires on the field. The Sydney Roosters can't keep their fans off the field (and their players on bikes) anymore. And the refs can't keep their lips off those damn whistles.Thanks heavens for Emma Domoney and Alby Talarico who join us to talk about their Vegas immersive experiences and can report that the Glitter Strip is as stitched together as it ever has been.And please get behind Emma's tilt in the Mothers Day Classic through the below link:https://www.mothersdayclassic.com.au/fundraisers/emmadomoney135358/mothers-day-classic-sydneySee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's not even halfway  through Round 1 in the NRL and the blaming has begun.Vegas united Ming The Merciless and Flanno in misery as they failed to get the (gulp) 'rub of the green'.Redfern Pat is on board to peel back all that went down on the Glitter Strip (including Joe Burgess?) and to bid adieu to Buzz in fine style.And we realise that PVL & Buzz are still on opposite sides of our game. In this case, it's a matter of diet.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The boys return for the 2026 season and find themselves in the thick of it as they plausibly podcast from the Glitter Strip in Las Vegas.They cover off the pre-season with its usual diet of aggressive monkeys, porn addiction and mayonnaise and look at the Nevada match ups.And Stephen has a big announcement! Fire Up! Coming at you from the MGM Grand.... or is Excalibur?!?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.
