We Got The Chocolates

Episode 22: One of the more entertaining interviews we have ever done as Queensland Fire and Perth Scorchers All-Rounder Jemma Barsby joins us on the phone from Perth. Due to the time difference she sounds very up and about whilst we are falling asleep but that makes for an outstanding combination. Jemma talks us through changing BBL franchises, bowling with both arms and how to spell L-ephant. Listen in to hear how she manages playing cricket after being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, the bulk stitch ups Haz has acquired from her teammates and how she fared in backyard cricket battles against her brother. As expected Haz manages to give some shout outs to his personal sponsors, we get a review on his haircut and we learn how to poach an egg.

Episode 21: Alright everyone it was a challenge but here it is! Leigh is away playing cricket in Adelaide but he is on the phone to talk us through his first day in the field. He also talks us through the knock no one but him is describing as the greatest of all time. He has a horrid phone line and terrible phone etiquette so we apologise for this. This gives Mitch an opportunity to take the reigns on the button pushing and it would be hard to say that he seizes his opportunity. We talk plenty of cricket as we cover sledging, selecting and catching with your head. However, there is also plenty of time for the "Social Sin Bin", "Skin's Stats" and a Heazlett Finska Showcase. Haz's Dad has even caught the song writing bug so we simply had to include his rendition of "Sweet Tigerman". We hope you enjoy this one!

Episode 20: In this Episode we tackle an issue that is probably outside our expertise, pay grade and intellect but we do it none the less. Small disclaimer. If you hate serious chat we talk Horse Racing and the ABC 7:30 Report from 14:00 - 23:00 so do feel free to skip to the bant. The good news is that you get far more words out of Mitch this week because he leads our discussion on the Melbourne Cup and even sings a song titled "Mitch Just Can't Eat a Meat Pie". Listen in to hear bulk discussion on nicknames, tourism campaigns for the Northern Territory, Matthew Renshaw's first innings after his debut on We Got The Chocolates and much more. We cover the Matildas pay rise, exiting Bali jails and hitting five sixes in an over. Mixed in are some staple segments: "Overused Sporting Buzzphrases", "The Social Sin Bin" and "A Minute to Thin It".

Episode 19: What a huge episode as Australian and Queensland opening batsman Matthew Renshaw joins us on the phone! He talks us through the biggest scalps he has taken bowling his part time offies—some of the names will shock you—his job as the Queensland Cricket Horticulturist and the way to ensure you are successful at your company’s annual golf day. Listen in to find out about Renners ambition to be on Burke's Backyard, which house he would be in if he went to Hogwarts, retiring ill due to unfortunate bowel movements and so much more. He might even be the youngest person to have a knee reconstruction… although that wasn’t very well researched. Also listen out for some of the sneaky barbs thrown in Marnus' direction before they clash on the cricket field tomorrow!

Episode 18: Mitch is his usual rowdy self, Haz writes and performs a song and Leigh tells the story of why he was at school for so much longer than everyone else! It won't shock you to know that we discuss plenty of cricket, dissect the Australian loss to Tonga in the Rugby League and get through the Instagram topic requests. "The Social Sin Bin" is getting full, Skin looks at baseball in his return to form for the "Skin's Stats" segment, Haz discusses his potential future as a professional Frisbee Golfer and much more.

Episode 17: In a super exciting episode, we get AFLW player and all round entertainer, Kate McCarthy on the phone. We chat changing clubs, changing footy codes and being the first person to play with a pacemaker. She gives away some serious life-hacks on wearing long sleeve guernseys, getting your dog to smile for the camera and so much more! We wish Kate and St Kilda all the best for the 2020 season!

Welcome to Episode 16, the first Podcast of Season 2! Cricket season is already here after a T20 International at Adelaide Oval last weekend. We talk WBBL, Marsh Cup and Sheffield Shield. Haz learns about the tallest mountain in the world, Skin throws the baby out with the bathwater and Leigh reflects on why cricket is not a "Funny old game". The Social Sin Bin has some targets lined up, there are Overused Sporting Buzzphrases to be discussed and Haz educates Leigh and Mitch on surfing etiquette as he sneaks in another surfing wrap. No singing this week either so that will certainly please plenty of people. Enjoy! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Episode 15 is the final episode of Season 1 and it utilises the services of recently retired and much loved Queensland Bulls paceman Luke Feldman. Luke joins us on the phone with a cricket game blaring in the background which provides plenty of highlights. He tells stories, provides commentary and even speaks about some cricket. For the neutral viewer though, the highlight is his roasting of co-host Sam Heazlett. These two have played many years of cricket together and Luke has stored some of his finest barbs for this very interview! We then talk about the much maligned referees and their crucial decisions from the NRL Grand Final. We feature another song about Redlands stalwart Nick Hurford and Jasper attempts to dethrone Skin as the Podcast's number one rapper. There is plenty of arrogance, random chat and some of your favourite segments with "Skins Stats", "Social Sin Bin" and "Overused Sporting Buzzphrases" all getting a look in. Thank you for listening and we will return in a couple of weeks! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Episode 14 and in a Podcast first we have two people on the phone at once! One is Sam Heazlett who is churning runs in the Marsh Cup currently; the other is even more exciting (sorry Haz) as Jack Lukosius from the Gold Coast Suns joins us to try and educate Haz on AFL and relive his memories of bowling heat as a gun junior cricketer! We chat Brownlow medal, AFL Grand Final, Haz previews the NRL Grand Final—he sits on the fence for some more ruling interpretations—and provides an in depth look at all the action from the Preliminary-finals. The Rugby World Cup presents some controversial decisions and Mitch is so pumped with his Skin’s Stats predictions that he spends the whole episode placing bets. We opened some discussion points to the Instagram Poll and as a result we talk Touch Football, UFC and Rock-climbing. As per usual thank you to our sponsors .... (insert fictional name here)... Listen out for Bazley's AFL fantasy result somehow getting mentioned again. Enjoy! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Episode 13 sees Mitch and Sam take the reins as Leigh is on a Snow Trip. Truth be told, we manage to get Leigh on the phone, so you still get to hear him talk about his dismissals so far this cricket season. The Australian Women’s Cricket Team are jets, and the Marsh One-Day Cup has started, so Haz comes straight from playing a game to help us chat cricket—although gets stuck talking about his social media fame after hitting a massive six for quite some time!We check in with how Skin’s previous predictions for the Rugby World Cup are travelling—you may recall the spreadsheet—and there is a result that will shock you. Leigh and Haz argue about the NRL Sin Bin and we get the standard surfing wrap for a Sam Heazlett episode including looking ahead to the Olympics! Can Mitch push the buttons better than Leigh? Will Leigh ever get his seat back? You be the judge!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Episode 12 and we have Mackenzie Sadler on the phone to discuss the opening round of the AON Uni 7s Tournament. She talks through the structure, blows up about how she had the captaincy taken from her the year after winning the competition (totally joking... we blew up about it!) and explains her reasoning for jumping from Touch Football to Rugby 7s. Joey Leilua's fireworks mishap ensures Toby Greene's fingers weren't the only thing attacking eyes over the weekend; the NSW Swifts claim a Grand Final victory and the Boomers miss out on Bronze. Leigh, Mitch and James chat through these topics but then also answer the big questions: Was Charlie Cameron fair game, why do we love Esava Ratugolea and what is Bazley's big piece of news? Tune in and see!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Episode Legs 11! Great set of getaway sticks. Leigh, Mitch and Sam talk through the excitement of Australia retaining the Ashes in England for the first time since 2001. They speak to one of Queensland Premier Cricket's gun players, Andrew Gode about his own performances, his thoughts on playing against Leigh and his love for the South Sydney Rabbitohs. 'Sam's Spam' is the new segment debuted where listeners grill Heazlett with the tough questions, the eye gouging and hair pulling incidents across the weekend are firmly in the spotlight and the Social Sin Bin takes aim at multiple former English Cricketers!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Episode 10 and we bring up the double figures by utilising the return of the prodigal son… Sam Heazlett. After an amazing performance on debut we simply could not keep Sam in the Reserves (Magoos) for any longer. He helps us chat through Will Chambers getting punched (shock), Kelly Slater building a wave pool and Leigh’s phenomenal Grand Final record. ‘Skin’s Stats’, a new song dedicated to Marnus and Skin rapping 97 words in 15 seconds ensure this episode combines the classics with some new material. Listen in as we continue to define our culture right on the stroke of full time! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Episode 9 features a significant look at the Third Ashes Test and that is why this episode sets a new We Got The Chocolates record for "minutes of your life consumed". More unpacking in this episode than we do after the weekly grocery shop. AFL Finals are upon us (Go Lions), the All Australian Squad has some notable omissions and Bazley's AFL Fantasy CV gets a boost. We also delete a round from the NRL season and question the John's brothers birth dates... although not intentionally. 'Overused Sporting Buzzphrases', 'Skin's Stats' and a huge 'Social Sin Bin' ensure Leigh gets a workout on the soundboard as per usual. How will he go? Put in some overtime and allow yourself to be informed, misguided and entertained all in the one sitting. If you get through the whole thing you get the 3 votes!

Episode 8 features Bradley Russell—the man with an unbelievable Touch Football resume—he joins us for an update on everything Touch and NRL related. We delve into the talking points from the second Ashes Test, analyse King Kyrgios’ latest meltdown and much more. Then wind the clock back for our song of the week.P.S. Our house must be bugged because straight after recording this episode the AFL changed the interpretation of the “Studs Up’ rule!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. Hosted on Acast.

Episode 7 of the We Got The Chocolates Podcast features Brisbane Heat and Queensland Bulls left handed, long haired, top order batsman Sam Heazlett.

Episode 6 of the We Got the Chocolates podcast features a serious sound upgrade.
