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.

👇 Drop your thoughts in the comments
🏆 Should umps still vote on the Brownlow?
🎤 Snoop Dogg or Barnsey for halftime?
