1. crammed full of people or things.
2. "Episode 116 is chock-a-block with stuff!

Yep. The title says it all.

This episode is chock-a-block, filled to the brim with podcasty goodness. What type of podcasty goodness is this episode filled with, you ask? Let me tell you, dear listener.

First up, The Chad & Bobz talk about their new Gym Chapter (getting fit & fabulous).

Then they put their musical pants on to talk about travelling to Sydney to see The Book of Mormon.

They then take a deep dive into Triple J's HOTTEST 100 of Australian Songs. The songs that made it, the songs that didn't and the songs that "should have been f$&king higher on the list", Chad barked.

And to round things off, before Bobz had to go to bed, they gave a Non-Spoiler Review of The Fantastic Four: First Steps.

See, it's chock-a-block!

"Let me tell you something Mean Gene"
Now this one hits my childhood. This man was a huge part of it, from the Rock 'n' Wrestling cartoon, WWF on Wide World of Sports, VHS tapes, action figures, Suburban Commando, Rocky 3 & No Holds Barred to WCW and the greatest heel turn of all time. Hulk Hogan was the grandfather of modern Professional Wrestling and an integral part of why it is still a thing today.

Whatcha Gonna Do.
Hulkamania Forever.

This episode of Cheers Big Ears is NOT brought to you by MEOWTALK 2.0™ — the world’s most advanced, least judgmental cat translator. Because your cat has thoughts, and now, for better or worse… you can hear them.

Let’s face it — your cat has been judging you silently for years. But now, thanks to MEOWTALK 2.0™, the world’s first semi-legitimate feline-to-English translator, you can finally understand those sideways glances, random meows at 3 am, and deliberate butt presentations.
MEOWTALK 2.0™ uses cutting-edge “MeowLearning™” AI to interpret your cat’s every vocalisation. Whether it’s:
“Feed me, human.”

“Your new partner is not welcome here.”

or “I just puked in your shoe, FYI.”

— You’ll finally have clarity.
The updated 2.0 model now includes:
Tone Analysis Mode™ — to detect sarcasm in purring.

Passive Aggression Filter™ — because yes, your cat is disappointed in you.

and Hiss-to-English Emergency Alerts™ — perfect for warning guests, toddlers, or your local vet.

Just clip the lightweight collar mic onto your furry overlord, sync the app, and wait. You’ll either unlock a new level of emotional intimacy… or learn your cat’s been plotting your downfall for six years straight.
MEOWTALK 2.0™ – Because curiosity didn’t kill the cat. But it might roast you in perfect English.

It's that time of the year again when I change the logo for no other reason than because I want to! And a new design keeps things fresh.

Talk about new, slide that finger across to the second image, and you can see the new tagline I'm giving a whirl "Bev's & Bants". It's got a nice ring to it.
