Flying Blind Podcast

One of our great mates Ronald John Tully the III drops in for a yarn while he is in the big smoke for the NFL. We cover growing up on the coast, making the big decision to pack up and move out west, becoming a ‘Seaweed Cowboy’, and his impeccable record of getting through 100% of the shit days. Tully also brings a very special gift for Benny, a custom made 7 man blind fold championship belt that will be carried out and up for grabs at the Podcast Royale 3.0 on the 26th of September where Benny will be defending his title from last year and now his newly acquired belt as well!  Do yourself a favour and grab a ticket to the Podcast Royale 3.0 being held on the Gold Coast on the 26th of September and cheer on Benny as he defends his belt: https://alpha-events.com.au/ Join Flight Club, the Flying Blind Facebook Community group here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1047936994280199/ Get around Flying Blind on socials: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/flyingblindpodcast/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/Flying-Blind-Podcast/61580557913440/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@flyingblindpodcast If you’ve got a question, guest suggestion or just want to get in touch, we’d love to hear from you!

Benny and Ames catch up on everything they have been up to lately, however they have to start with Benny’s big burnt lip! Turns out 30 seconds in the microwave is way too long to reheat a hot jam donut as benny found out the hard way. There was a rescue mission at a local festival as well as smoking meat, off chicken and a new addition to the backyard for Fathers Day. This week’s addition of ‘what caught your eye’ focused in on RUOK? Day this Thursday the 9th of September and the importance of thinking about your answer to the question and what else we can add to the question itself so it’s not so easy to answer without thinking.  Thanks again to everyone who got around our first merch pre sale, we bloody love all of you!  If your keen on joining Ben at a Night In The Hills at Riot Tallace on Friday the 18th of September, you can grab your tickets here- https://www.ryeattallis.com.au/whats-on  Get along to the Gold Coast on the 26th of September for Podcast Royale 3.0 and cheer on Benny as he jumps back into the ring in the 7 man blind fold fight representing the Flying Blind Podcast and our amazing community! https://www.alpha-events.com.au/   Join Flight Club on Facebook!

In this week’s episode of Flying Blind Ben sits down with drifter & dad, Tate Lindstrom, AKA the ‘One Arm Bandit’. Tate was born with one arm that wasn’t fully formed and even though it was a shock to his parents initially with a ‘can do’ attitude and plenty of trial and error, there hasn’t been much in the world of motorsport that Tate hasn’t had a crack at. Whether it was go karts, motorcross or his current passion, drifting, Tate’s approach has always been that thinking outside the box combined with plenty of hours in the shed makes pretty much anything possible!

In this week’s episode of Flying Blind, Ames and Benny catch up and cover why blind people should be exempt from hay fever, Amy’s launch into #HomelyFans, how good a day at the local footy is, plus another instalment of ‘what caught your eye?’ with new buildings, fascinating stories, and penguins catching the attention this week.  Benny also shares the story behind his love for footy shorts. It’s got nothing to do with his short lived junior footy career before he went blind, but a way to keep his best mate Cammo and his memory close, as a reminder of how he loved to live life.   There is also an update on incoming merch that’s not far away now so keep your eyes and ears peeled for that! Enjoy this one and we hope you have a ripper week!  Join the Flying Blind Podcast Community group on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1047936994280199 Get around Flying Blind on socials! Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/flyingblindpodcast/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/Flying-Blind-Podcast/61580557913440/https://www.tiktok.com/@flyingblindpodcast If you’ve got a question, guest suggestion or just want to get in touch, we’d love to hear from you!

Childhood mate and AFLW player Kirsty Lamb catches up with Ben and shares her story from junior sport through to becoming a professional athlete with the Port Adelaide Football Club today. Initially Kirsty was the only girl playing with the boys until that was taken away and she had to find other pathways in sport. Cricket seemed like the sport that had the most open doors for women so she focused on pursuing a career in cricket until the announcement of AFLW presented an opportunity to turn what had always seemed like a dream that would never come true into reality. Sport has taught Kirsty plenty along the way and there is so much that she has learned in elite sport that we can all relate to in life.    Follow Kirsty on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/kirstylamb27/ Join the Flying Blind Podcast Community on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/groups/1047936994280199Get around Flying Blind on socials! Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/flyingblindpodcast/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/Flying-Blind-Podcast/61580557913440/#  TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@flyingblindpodcast/ If you’ve got a question, guest suggestion or just want to get in touch, we’d love to hear from you!

Australian singer & songwriter plus all round legend, Brad Cox drops into the Flying Blind studio before his Melbourne show last week as part of his current national tour. The boys dive into what it has taken to chase a career in music, the importance of switching off, why Brad believes constantly grinding isn’t the only way to success and the impact that ego and comparison can have in all aspects of life. They also talk mental health, song writing, on stage secrets and play a variation of ‘pick that sound’ built just for Coxy.   He is a bloody great singer but he’s an even better bloke and we appreciate him dropping in for a yarn to catch up. Enjoy legends! To find out about Brad’s upcoming shows or grab some Coxy merch, visit - https://www.iambradcox.com/  Follow Brad Cox on socials- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bradcoxofficial/?hl=en Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bradcoxofficial/  Get around Flying Blind on socials! Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/flyingblindpodcast/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/Flying-Blind-Podcast/61580557913440/#  TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@bradcoxofficialIf you’ve got a question, guest suggestion or just want to get in touch, we’d love to hear from you!

Ames has just landed back refreshed and re-energized after 9 days on the coast and she has come back to some nice new additions to the studio that Benny and his old man have knocked up while she was away. It is the first chance the two of them have had to properly catch up in a while so they take the time to check in with each other, go through what’s been happening as well as another instalment of ‘what caught your eye’.  This one goes all over the shop, covering Toy Story 5, magpies that don’t sleep, new shapes and chocolate flavours, barking dogs and what makes you a true local plus plenty of random recommendations. Enjoy legends!   Benny and Ames will also be at Brad Cox at the Forum in Melbourne this week so if you’re going or don’t have any plans, grab some tickets and join them for what will be a unreal night of live music by one of the country’s best! https://www.iambradcox.com/shows  If you are in the lawn or land care industry make sure you get along to the 2026 Lawn and Land Equip Expo on the Gold Coast on Saturday the 1st of August and grab a ticket to the networking event at ‘The Island’ in Surfers Paradise for a fantastic evening where Ben will be the guest speaker.  https://llee.com.au/#  Get around Flying Blind on socials! Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/flyingblindpodcast/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/Flying-Blind-Podcast/61580557913440/#   If you’ve got a question, guest suggestion or just want to get in touch, we’d love to hear from you!
