Yep… it was Dave.

No warning, no fanfare, just the tap on the shoulder and straight into “what now?”

In this episode, the boys rip in on what it’s like to lose your job in mining. From that gut-punch moment your pay stops, to cutting up your missus’ Temu card and praying the recruiter calls back. Dave tells us how it is and it's relatable and a bloody good listen.

They chat shirts vs contractors, mental stress, how to back each other during the tough stuff, and the power of a good word from a mate.

If you’ve ever been flicked, stuck between gigs, or just trying to find your feet again, this episode is a beauty.

And remember: we look after our own.

From Origin Fields to Sheep in Motels — The Danny Nutley Chaos Continues

Part 2 with NRL legend turned mining supervisor Danny Nutley is every bit as wild as you'd hope — and somehow even more real.

We’re talkin backyard barbies with Alfie Langer, black ice with a hungover Origin hero, team bonding, motel room stitch ups with stolen livestock (yep, a sheep and almost a horse), and the kind of off-field chaos you just can’t make up.

But it’s not all footy and piss-takes. Danny opens up on what it meant to wear the Maroons jersey, the phone call that changed his life, and how cancer made him see things clearer than ever.

From rugby league misfits to mining leadership and blokes doing it tough — this episode swings from unfiltered laughs to proper life stuff in the way only Blokes in Mining can.

You know the name from footy — Origin, NRL, Super League. But what you probably didn’t know is Danny Nutley spent 15 years in mining after footy, running crews, learning gear, and leading from the front.

In this ep, he spills on:

• How he landed his first mining job (the interview was wild)
• Shitting himself the first time he dropped a dozer over a dragline bench
• What makes a good boss on-site (hint: it ain’t the loudest bloke)
• Mental health, getting diagnosed with cancer, and why blokes need to speak up
• Building solid crews, calling out BS, and looking after your people

This is Part 1 of Nutley’s yarn.
Part 2 drops in 2 weeks — and yeah, there’s a wild Alfie Langer story you’ve never heard before.
