We are on break at the moment but that certainly will not stop us from providing some quality listening experiences! Episode 56 was where we were able to chat to a man we hope to see back in action this weekend for the Melbourne Storm; Harry Grant.   He has plenty of dirt on his team mate Christian Welch, he talks about his love for surfing and contributes to the "Wearing tights with no shorts over the top" debate.    We return properly on the 5th of August 2021 for Episode 96! That is next week.

BONUS EPISODE: DAD JOKES

We are on break at the moment but we wanted to make sure you had something to listen to so we have taken you for a trip down memory lane. This was one of our favourite episodes of the podcast.  It includes a great story from Spencer Johnson, Mitchell Drennan exploring the possibility of changing cricket balls to a different material and Jana Gillam trying to give us some life advice.    We return properly on the 5th of August 2021 for Episode 96! 

Time Machine - Instant Replay: Episode 78

This episode was recorded live and is available to watch on Facebook. Leigh told us about a classic mix up around teacher names, before realising he’d made an even larger blunder by forgetting to record the first half of the episode! Simmons hosts us and leads a ‘Must or Dust’ segment which was ambushed by Leigh's attempt to highlight his own AFL performance on the weekend. Sam Heazlett even found some dirt on Simmons by scrolling through his Instagram page.  Former Sydney Thunder wicketkeeper Jay Lenton joins us to talk State of Origin while Mitch is busy answering listeners’ Skin’s Stats requests on how superior Queensland is (or was) in State Of Origin.  Listener, Hayley, won over $800 of Alchemy Cordial Australia products. She will be able to try every product, including all 17 coffee syrup flavours. Get your own products here. Obviously use the discount code WGTC10 to get 10% off and free shipping!

95. LIVE: On The Deck

The incredibly talented Georgia Redmayne ditches the wicketkeeping gloves and joins us for a chat!  She has played all over Australia and overseas so is well qualified to discuss the best tea options and why she believes the phrase "wettest summer ever" is overused in England. . Georgia’s running and diving style come into question but she also tells a stunning story about her a double hat-trick in under 12s which restores her confidence.  Georgia is a doctor (real one as Leigh establishes) and has a handy trick that she self-prescribed for how to keep playing after breaking a finger on the cricket field. Dr Redmayne was dobbed in by her teammates for loving red wine. Dr Red-wine they call her! The Beyond Beetroot Superfood Elixir, available from Alchemy Cordial Australia, is another red coloured beverage that you should try! Check out the rest of their range here.

94. Georgia Redmayne: "It's Not Usually Like This"

Leigh explains his week of chaos given that Gode changed his work iPad's language to Cantonese. Sam Heazlett has created his own joke and Leigh gets a very late Tight Arse nomination. State of Origin Game 1 talking points and best player performances. Social Sin Bin targeting comments on NRL, AFL and Cricket. We know a guy who finished the recent Ironman in Cairns; he tells us how he got through it and there are a few coaching blow ups to talk through! The Superfood Elixirs available from Alchemy Cordial Australia have been helping reduce Leigh’s knee inflammation. Get yours here. Use the discount code WGTC10 to get 10% off and free shipping. 

93. Half Sucked Starburst

Best on ground awards are the greatest accolade one could possibly win... discuss.  Disgruntled listeners tell us about some of their rogue reasons for being dropped. Ironically Leigh and Gode are both heavily involved in these stories.  Must or Dust is back as we target Morning news shows, daytime naps, urinal chat and photography.  Skin uses his statistical genius to tell us who won State Of Origin Game 1 and by how much (despite us recording before the match was played.)  Alchemy Cordial Australia have been supporting the podcast for so long that we decided to award their owner Mal with FOTS card number 12! Check out his delicious beverages and get yours online here. Use the discount code WGTC10 to get 10% off and free shipping!

92. Chatting At The Urinal

The We Got The Chocolates studio is full this week, with former Australian Kookaburras Hockey Captain, Mark Knowles joining us for the episode.    Mark has more Hockey medals than you can poke a stick at having represented Australia at the Olympics, Commonwealth Games and World Cups over the last 15 years.   From not making the QLD U15 Hockey team to breaking his ankle on the first day he made the national team, Mark faced plenty of challenges before being named the best hockey player in the world.   Andrew Gode constantly brings up his own career and likens the Australian Kookaburras playing developing Hockey nations to him bowling to Leigh in games against each other!   Mark told Leigh that he is still in with a chance at finding love. While Leigh is looking for the perfect woman, we have the perfect beverage company for you. Alchemy Cordial Australia have a drink for every occasion that you will love. Get yours online here.    Thanking you! Good luck in the fute. 

91. Mark Knowles: He's In Your Head

There were lots of sin bins during the most recent NRL round but even more in our Social Sin Bin segment!   Marnus Labuschagne has a batting technique article written about him by every Tom, Dick and Harry which doesn't really impress us!   Mitch was ambushed by a bunch of retirees who setup a makeshift wedding for him on a bus tour.   Our 12th Friend Of The Show Card is presented to a guest that we brought on to embarrass Leigh, but unfortunately it mostly backfires as his tyres get pumped up instead.   We don’t only discuss what the ideal batting technique is but also what the ideal beverage company is, and that without a doubt is Alchemy Cordial Australia. You can order your own favourite drink here. Use the discount code WGTC10 to get 10% off and free shipping!

90. How I Popped The Question

Jimmy looks back on his younger days as a fiscally responsible rookie contracted player and what he spent his first pay cheque on. We talk about his development on the field; from long term 2nd choice QLD wicket-keeper to his breakout season as Queensland Bulls and Brisbane Heat captain. We mention his off the field development in dress code, from earrings and trendy hair cuts to RM Williams and Akubras. He is reminded of the nightmares of facing Andrew Gode in club cricket and the mental disintegration he was subjected to, but gets his own back as we reminisce on debut games.... There is even time for Jimmy to critique his own parenting skills and for Gode to join him in outlining how fatherhood made him a better cricketer!  Jimmy loves a caffeine hit to get him ready for a match and you can get yours with the help of the coffee syrups from Alchemy Cordial Australia including flavours such as hazelnut, caramel, vanilla, butterscotch and chilli! You can get yours here. Use the discount code WGTC10 to get 10% off and free shipping!

89. Jimmy Peirson: "Cerebral Attack"

Two regulars are missing but one original member comes back! James Bazley is back on the podcast after an amazing summer of cricket for the Brisbane Heat and Redlands Tigers. He talks cricket, marriage and podcast progress.    We are joined by Jason Fiddes who loves basketball and Steph Curry but also works as a player welfare manager for the New Zealand Warriors (not Golden State Warriors).   Mitch’s pockets are heavier after a big win in Mackay but have they been lightened by the purchase of a ring?   Sam Heazlett's Instagram influencer like tactics are called into question.   Skin has been enjoying the wine in Adelaide, but agrees that they aren’t nearly as good as the superfood elixirs from Alchemy Cordial Australia.

88. Brisbane Heat; Steph Curry v Lebron James with James Bazley

This is our first ever podcast on the road! We record from Mackay at the Great Barrier Reef Arena. Having a beer, watching some cricket and having a chat to Nathan Reardon.    Reardo has played multiple seasons of BBL cricket for the Adelaide Strikers, Brisbane Heat and Hobart Hurricanes. He also played for the QLD Bulls so he takes the role of “professional athlete” on this episode.    He talks us through his contributions in the T20 Bash For Cash Tournament, and Leigh and Mitch Drennan’s lack of contributions. He has many solutions for people that can’t hit sixes after claiming he hit the biggest six of all time.   We get his opinion on who is funnier out of Sam Heazlett and James Bazley. He tells us his thoughts on podcasts, why he hated cricket at the end of his career and how he went facing Jofra Archer.    Reardo has the greatest debut story ever from when he first played for Surfers Paradise Cricket Club. If you haven't already... you should make your debut drinking an Alchemy Cordial Australia Beverage. Use the code WGTC10 for 10% off and free shipping. 

87. Bash For Cash with Nathan Reardon

Leigh missed the train home and managed to travel on an express train, 8 stations the wrong way, clearly it was someone else’s fault though.    Mitch ambushes Leigh as he ousts him for rocking up to an appointment in a full suit… from the night before.    The Social Sin Bin allows for people to go in based on their spelling, an egotistical view of their own importance and their horrid jokes. Some people have impressed us though!    New segment called “Must or Dust” that decides whether Self Serve Registers, Birkenstocks and craft beer are essential or overrated.    We tell you about the big week on the tools we have coming up!    We were a couple of beverages deep whilst recording this… Alchemy Cordial Australia beverages that is. You can get on board the OLE Cordial experience by clicking the link here.  Use WGTC10 at the checkout to get 10% off and free shipping!

86. Birkenstocks and Beers

The Queensland Bulls won the Sheffield Shield but Sam Heazlett reveals to us that the podcast has gotten him in strife within the squad. Haz is wearing questionable kit after coming straight from Mad Monday! We tell celebratory Mad Monday stories and hear others from listeners. Leigh ‘tells all’, revealing freshly uncovered details from his Bruce Oxenford run-in. He does this partly in song parody form. Our new Friend Of The Show shares a gruesome, mowing related story of why his Second Grade side lost the Grand Final. Leigh and Mitch have both recently been let down by Lime Scooters in Brisbane, but you won’t be let down by Alchemy Cordial Australia’s range of beverages, especially their fan favourite Superfood Elixirs! Take your pick of Beyond Beetroot, Turmeric or Maho Matcha here... Use WGTC10 at the checkout to get 10% off and free shipping.

85. Mad Monday

We have a special guest delivering the Joke of the Day and hear word that our recent local sporting hero may be struggling living in the spotlight from his new found fame. Andrew Gode's dad delivered an unplayable delivery to one of our listeners.  We discuss which sports have the biggest home ground advantage and find out that our followers seem to be experts in a wide range of rather niche sports. Gode shares some controversial thoughts on the NRL’s new rules and Mitch brings out his inner statman once again on the topic of Brownlow and Dally M medals. Leigh was the MC at James Bazley’s wedding, where his rig was likened to the hulk, probably thanks to the nitrates in Alchemy Cordial Australia’s Beyond Beetroot Superfood Elixir! They have reformulated this product in the continual pursuit of perfection. You can get yours at here! Use the discount code WGTC10 to get 10% off and free shipping.

84. Two Shirts, No Pants

Guests. Stories. Laughs. Sport. Your weekly mix and entertainment fix with a couple of absolute di ... good blokes named Leigh, Sam and Mitch.
