In one of our most thought-provoking episodes yet, I sit down with former Olympic swimmer and more importantly: FRIEND OF THE SHOW-James Magnussen for a conversation that's been years in the making. When I reached out to James to say G'day, he casually drops that he's been following my covert faceless ramblings as 'the28yearoldmale' for years. So naturally, we figured it was about time to have a proper chat.

James is knee-deep in what might be the most controversial thing to happen to competitive sport since someone decided drug testing was a good idea: the Enhanced Games. Think Olympics, but athletes can legally juice up with steroids, peptides, and whatever other performance-enhancing goodies science has cooked up. Before you start picturing roided out monsters smashing in stringer singlets, James breaks down the surprisingly rigorous medical oversight that keeps this whole experiment from turning into unethical madness.

We get right into the weeds with it all, and James—who competed clean at the Olympics—makes some bloody compelling arguments about how enhanced competition might actually save traditional sport from itself. His take on where Olympic sports are currently failing to keep people interested are refreshingly brutal and probably overdue.

James was honest about the existential crisis that hits the majority of athletes when their Olympic dreams wrap up, the weird business of finding purpose after spending your entire life chasing the clock without much to show for it financially, and why he's chosen to poke the entire sporting establishment with a very sharp stick.

It's the kind of conversation that starts with performance enhancement and somehow ends up dissecting what it means to push human limits—both physical and societal. James doesn't dodge the hard questions what so ever, wasn't afraid to have a laugh at his own expense and probably solved world peace in there somewhere too.

A bloody interesting chat with a great bloke, hope you enjoy the listen

A very reflective Dale Thomas sat down this week to catch up old times with Clokey and Jim while Vedran suns his budgy smuggler lines in QLD. Daisy's achievements are almost too long to list; he found his way from the paddocks of Drouin in rural Victoria, to owning the MCG as a universally loved character, and becoming a premiership player at Collingwood in 2010 before embarking on a successful career in media.

We asked Daisy if we could go past the surface a little in this episode and his response was instant and emphatic. He was honest, and at times vulnerable reflecting on his journey, touching on his upbringing, how lucky he's been to have had certain mentors along the way, and his approach to addressing both his own mental health, and leading the charge in encouraging others to speak up and seek help.

It was a bloody good yarn, we also made him call a Horseless Peruvian Jockey Race, so as usual, we went everywhere.

Enjoy the episode and be sure to leave a review!

You’ve heard him on the show before – but never like this. In this episode, we sit down properly with Danny Grant (aka Danny Rants), the man behind some of the wildest events, disruptive and creative brands, and now, one of the most viral liquor products in the country. He’s built an enormous audience with his vlogging rants, and new podcast—there’s not much Danny hasn’t had a crack at, which speaks to the approach to life he embodies.

From cutting his teeth in Australia’s nightclub, live music and events scenes, to building a creative agency, and launching a liquor brand that’s stormed shelves nationwide. Danny opens up about the chaos, creativity, and calculated madness that’s fuelled his journey. We unpack his early life and struggles, his love of storytelling, his ability to shift culture, and what drives him to keep creating in a world full of noise.

This was a raw, honest reflective, and passionate side of Danny Grant that we've very quickly grown to love – chances are, you’ve never heard him speak like this and so will you.
