Two grand finals, two emotions, one lost wallet 😂
Bazz reckons Phil looked like he’d just misplaced his wallet during the Glenelg game, then found it again a week later with the Lions hugging everyone in sight!

We’re Back! 🎙️🔥

Yeah, we know… it’s been a little while between drinks 😅 Life gets in the way sometimes, but Bazz and Phil are back behind the mics and firing on all cylinders!

This week it’s just the boys and things get lively. Ryder Cup chaos, that awkward moment when partners run on the field before teammates, and whether umpires should really be picking the Brownlow winner.

They also break down Brisbane’s monster grand final surge, debate Snoop Dogg vs Aussie icons at halftime, and tackle Justin Langer’s warning about Australia’s shaky top order 🏏

Big thanks to our mates at Air Diffusion Australia for keeping the show running smoothly.

🏆 Should umps still vote on the Brownlow?
🎤 Snoop Dogg or Barnsey for halftime?

“Stand!”
“Pull back!”
“Play on!”
Even the umpires look confused… and Bazz has officially had enough.

In the first ever episode of Footy Law & Disorder, we put the AFL’s stand rule on trial and it doesn’t exactly walk free.

Bazz lets fly, Phil offers a fix (full-time umpires anyone?), and together they unpack one of the most frustrating rules in the game today.

Whether you’re a die-hard defender or just miss watching players move on the mark without giving away 50, this one is worth a watch.

Jason 'Dizzy' Gillespie: 71 Tests, 201 not out, and still one of the most humble blokes in Aussie cricket.

In this new episode, we sit down with Dizzy to chat about the highs and lows of a remarkable career. From his love of fast bowling and that famous double ton, to the real story behind his time coaching Pakistan.

He even shares a few great sledges, a Glenn McGrath story we didn’t see coming, and the one thing he begged Phil to bring him in England… (Hint: it spreads easily and comes in a jar 😅)
