  • Chinese Cars, Perth Bears & The Great Milk Cap Debate

    Chinese Cars, Perth Bears & The Great Milk Cap Debate
    2026/08/20
    Kick Back EP4: Chinese Cars, Perth Bears & The Great Milk Cap Debate Welcome back to another episode of the Kick Back Podcast! This week, Stewie and Haydos are kicking back virtually and getting stuck into a big mix of sport, cars, Australian culture and a few everyday things that probably shouldn't annoy us as much as they do! Stewie reveals he's officially become a foundation member of the Perth Bears, talks about the chaotic membership launch and how the website nearly broke under the demand. The boys also discuss how the Bears came to be, their connection with the North Sydney Bears and what the Perth expansion means for the NRL. Then things take a turn towards the rapidly growing Chinese car market. Would you buy a Chinese-made car? Are brands like BYD, GWM and Haval actually changing the Australian car market? And are we witnessing the same evolution that Japanese cars went through decades ago? Haydos also shares a rather unfortunate experience involving a BYD Shark, rain and a very persistent car alarm, before the boys debate whether modern cars are becoming more disposable. From there, the conversation gets very Australian as they investigate our obsession with adding "O" to people's names — Haydo, Timbo, Jono, Braddo and plenty more. Is it laziness, mateship, affection… or all three? And finally, Haydos discovers Stewie's thoughts on milk bottle caps, leading to one of the most serious debates of the episode: should coloured milk caps really have been replaced with clear ones? To finish things off, Haydos faces a rapid-fire round of "Would You Rather / This or That" questions. As always, thanks for kicking back with us! ❤️ Facebook @Kick Back Instagram @kick.back.podcast kickbackpodcast.au@gmail.com Episode 4 Timestamps / Chapters 00:00 – Welcome to Episode 4 Kicking back virtually and figuring out the technology. 01:32 – Stewie Becomes a Perth Bears Foundation Member Stewie reveals his new Perth Bears membership and explains his connection to Perth. 03:03 – The Perth Bears Membership Website Disaster Queues, crashes, payment errors and accidentally buying two memberships! 07:42 – How Did the Perth Bears Come About? The history behind the Bears' return and the push for an NRL team in Perth. 09:06 – Why Perth Was Chosen for the New NRL Team The untapped market and the growth of rugby league in Western Australia. 11:12 – When Do the Perth Bears Enter the NRL? The boys look ahead to the Bears' arrival and Stewie's future membership pack. 13:00 – Strange Cars & The Rise of Chinese Car Brands The Australian car market is changing — but are we ready for it? 16:02 – BYD, GWM, Haval, Jaecoo & More Just how many Chinese car brands are now appearing in Australia? 17:45 – Would You Buy a Chinese Car? Stewie and Haydos debate quality, value and whether buying Chinese means supporting China. 19:43 – "Just Put a Honda Badge on It!" Stewie recalls an interesting conversation at a car dealership. 21:15 – Is Brand Loyalty Dying? From cars to Apple, RM Williams and Temu — does the brand still matter? 22:37 – The BYD Shark vs The Rain Haydos tells the story of a BYD Shark whose alarm wouldn't stop going off. 24:31 – Can Chinese Utes Survive Australian Conditions? The boys discuss off-road testing, the Simpson Desert and the BYD Shark's performance. 25:53 – Will Chinese Cars Take Over? Could today's Chinese cars become tomorrow's Japanese cars? 27:10 – Are We Living in a Throwaway Society?

The boys argue that coloured caps made choosing your milk much easier. 46:01 – Bring Back the Coloured Caps! The great milk-cap debate comes to an end. 46:42 – Rapid-Fire Questions for Haydos Stewie puts Haydos on the spot with a series of quick "This or That" questions. 47:33 – Haydos Reveals His Favourite Dragons Player And the answer is… Wendell Sailor! 49:14 – Coffee or Beer? 49:37 – Summer or Winter? 50:27 – Beach or Bush? 50:45 – Netflix or YouTube? 51:23 – Morning Person or Night Owl? 51:58 – Pizza or Burgers? 52:33 – Camping or Hotel? 52:59 – That's a Wrap on Episode 4!

    Kick Back EP3: The Tick Saga Welcome back to Kick Back with Stewie & Haydos! Episode 3 is packed with plenty of laughs, stories, opinions and as always... a little bit of controversy! From concert dramas and questionable customer service to takeaway disasters, tick scares, Supercars, Donald Trump UFC absurdity and some rapid-fire questions. Stewie kicks things off with his "Sour Grapes" after a trip to Canberra to see The Jungle Giants — including an awkward ID check and a disappointing Hungry Jack's Uber Eats order that was missing one very important item… Haydos then shares the story of a weekend away at Murramarang Resort that takes an unexpected turn when the ticks start multiplying — eventually leading to a trip to the hospital with six-month-old Charlotte. And somehow, "Dr GPT"becomes part of the story! Then it's time to talk Supercars, including the Darwin Triple Crown, the move towards night racing, Cam Waters' breakthrough win and Kai Allen's impressive weekend. Things get a little heated when they discuss the Mark Skaife and Adrian Burgess controversy, Chevrolet's struggles and whether Supercars needs to do more to create a level playing field. And finally, the boys discuss Donald Trump's UFC event at the White House, before imagining what they would do if they had presidential powers for a day. 🇺🇸😂 Plus, Stewie faces another round of Rapid-Fire Questions, revealing his favourite takeaway, what he's been binge-watching and his latest music purchase. What do you think? Have you ever had a tick scare? Who was your driver of the weekend? What do you think about the Skaife/Burgess situation?
