Kick Offs and Kick Ons

This week on The KOKO Show we take a minute as a nation to bask in the radiant light of victory and the glorious healing properties of ‘Schmidting it in’ over the old foe. The lads whisk you away on an all expenses paid trip in and around how the Wallabies managed to win their first match against England at Twickenham since 2015, keeping the hopes of breaking the 40 year Grand Slam drought well and truly alive. To help us navigate this titanus tussle at ‘Twicks’ we tried to think of a former English great that would willingly allow us to rub his nose in the fact that Australia is simply just better as a country, so we landed on Gits’ big burly and often baked bear of a best mate, Mr Alex Corbisiero who gives the show some much needed direction pointing out the areas of the game that caught his eye and the importance of professional identity. Furthermore, to put a bow on this vital victory for the mighty men in gold we dish up our ‘Super Sizzlers’ brought to you by BeefEater and Corbs generously graces us with a ‘phat rap’ dedicated to our show.Plus, we also cover all the other big dog bouts including the All Black’s upset of Ireland, the Boks silencing the Scots and of course Fiji whaling on Wales. We know what you are thinking, what are you guys wearing whilst you piece together this rugby roundtable of awesomeness? Well thanks to MYER the fellas are fashionably on point and they show you just what to buy for summer in the newest instalment of the always wonderful mixed bag ‘Match Fit’. So lie back and get comfy as we tell you a raunchy tale from the weekend entitled ‘The Grand Slam’, where the Northern Hemisphere wined and dined the South, then we rolled around in their fields a little, used their shower, sullied their tooth brush and never called them again, leaving the North’s ego bruised, used and confused heading into week 2 of the tour. It’s time for an all new Kick Offs and Kick Ons.TIMECODES:00:00 - Start 02:29 - Introductions 06:56 - ‘How Was Your Weekend Swoop?’ segment10:13 - Swoop’s return to the ‘KOKO Match Review’14:31 - Movember16:00 - London City Sevens16:35 - Introduce Alex Corbisiero 21:28 - San Diego Legion doco25:00 - ENGLAND V WALLABIES MATCH REVIEW44:06 - Super Sizzler brought to you by BeefEater 51:09 - Corb’s special rap for The KOKO Show55:16 - KOKO European Tour56:00 - Dubai Sevens56:42 - IRELAND V ALL BLACKS MATCH REVIEW01:03:30 - SCOTLAND V SOUTH AFRICA MATCH REVIEW 01:06:26 - WALES V FIJI MATCH REVIEW 01:08:51 - Match Fit brought to you by MYER 01:16:58 - KOKO Final Show in Orange 01:18:24 - Easy Times Brewing Co KOKO Christmas collection01:21:26 - Dear Drew01:25:19 - Close of the show Big thanks to MYER for their support and remember you can buy everything you saw on the show from you local MYER or online - https://www.myer.com.auCheers also to BeefEater for coming back on board with KOKO, please check out their websites to see their great selection of BBQ's, rangehoods and fridges.AUSTRALIA - https://www.appliancesonline.com.au/brand/beefeaterEUROPE - https://beefeaterbbqeurope.co.uk/pages/contact-usFinally a massive thanks to our new beer sponsor, Easy Times Brewing Co.

This week in the ‘KOKO Match Review’ the boys celebrate an amazing Wallabies win against the old foe England in the dying moments at Twickenham. The ‘Gladiators of Gold’ showed a new identity of grit and determination to claim only their second Test Match win over the motherland in their last twelve matchups. The gang analyzed Aussie debutant Joseph Sua’ali’i’s performance as he became only the second Wallaby behind our very own Matt Giteau to play their first professional rugby union match on the international stage. Although Joseph’s bank balance might have a few less commas than Goits, he did however manage a feat that our little legend couldn't by claiming player man of the match honours in his very first outing. In a game where both sides landed punches and weathered storms, the lads highlight that for the Wallabies Len Ikitau had a formidable performance in every facet of the game and for the English it is fair to say Marcus Smith has put a stake in the ground as a premier fly half in world rugby. However, it was Joe Schmidt’s men who dug deep for the full eighty minutes and ensured that the always elusive Grand Slam title was still alive and kicking for the Wallabies in 2024. The lads will cover every square inch of this cracking Test Match documenting the emotional ebbs and flows of International rugby and how the mighty Wallabies took a Schmidt on England’s parade. So wake the fuck up and smell the roses that we just stole from those pesky primadonna Poms. Australia it is time to stop checking your blood pressure, pop a ‘xanny’, pour yourself a spritz and just bathe in the warm and fuzzies that a win over England provides. Please enjoy another dose of the ‘KOKO Match Review’.Big thanks to MYER for their support and remember you can buy everything you saw on the show from you local MYER or online - https://www.myer.com.auCheers also to BeefEater for coming back on board with KOKO, please check out their websites to see their great selection of BBQ's, rangehoods and fridges.AUSTRALIA - https://www.appliancesonline.com.au/brand/beefeaterEUROPE - https://beefeaterbbqeurope.co.uk/pages/contact-usFinally a massive thanks to our new beer sponsor, Easy Times Brewing Co.

This week on The KOKO Show the lads are back after a much needed hiatus, filled with meditation retreats, prostate exams and day trips to their local VIP gaming facilities. All in all it is fair to say that they are back with a renewed energy for life and the sole mindset of delivering to you our beautiful fans a just above average entertainment experience. With this being our first episode back on the horse after a break we thought let's not burden our beautiful minds with the pressures of a special guest, but rather let’s see this wild beast of a ‘no guest nonsense’ show organically grow to thoroughly encompass both the joys of rugby union and the unrivalled shenanigans deep within us all. Thanks to MYER this show is able to remain on the air and this week they kept the lights on so we can give you a full preview of the upcoming spring/autumn tours where us the salty Southerners will once again pull the pants down of some Northern nobodys in dramatic Test Match fashion. In this episode we give you a full run sheet of how each team plans to ‘Schmidt it in’ north of the invisible line whilst also preparing the residence of the UK and Ireland for their impending arrival to the ‘Motherland’ for our highly anticipated KOKO Spring Tour brought to you by MIXR and the WRU. Plus, our sun kissed studs show off their exquisite summer ready loot from MYER in another masterful mixed bag Match Fit. We also sing our praises for the gorgeous humans at Easy Times Brewing Co for their delightfully delicious and drinkable drops and of course you can't have beer without a BBQ, so we give a massive thanks to BeefEater and AppliancesOnline for their continual support.So please raise your hands if you have missed us! Well we are back whether you like it or not and we are after only one thing and that is to be ‘Kings of the Noth’. As the Wallabies make tracks beyond the great divide to set the record straight, KOKO will be there every step of the way. As we have always said “When they Schmidt, we Schmidt, let’s all Schmidt it in together”. Big thanks to MYER for their support and remember you can buy everything you saw on the show from you local MYER or online - https://www.myer.com.auCheers also to BeefEater for coming back on board with KOKO, please check out their websites to see their great selection of BBQ's, rangehoods and fridges.TIMECODES:00:00 - Start of the show and thanking MYER02:53 - Introductions05:12 - What have the boys did in the break and Easy Times Brewing Co plug12:10 - Northern Hemisphere KOKO Tour16:20 - Dubai Sevens Show plug18:17 - WALLABIES preview and Joseph Sua’ali’i31:32 - ALL BLACKS preview and review of the Japan match38:37 - SPRINGBOKS preview44:48 - ARGENTINA preview 47:43 - Match Fit brought to you by MYER54:37 - The Wallaroos recap after winning WXV257:38 - Rocky Elsom01:00:10 - Northern Hemisphere Legends 01:05:00 - Super Sizzlers brought to you by BeefEater 01:07:42 - KOKO final show in Orange 01:11:57 - Dear Drew 01:25:22 - Close of the show AUSTRALIA - https://www.appliancesonline.com.au/brand/beefeaterEUROPE - https://beefeaterbbqeurope.co.uk/pages/contact-usFinally a massive thanks to our new beer sponsor, Easy Times Beer Co.

This week on The KOKO Show we say farewell to The Rugby Championship and we congratulate the Springboks on their first win in 5 years, as well as acknowledging their charmingly chunky trophy case. Soon it is our belief Rassie will need a rental space to stash all their hard earned and metabolically manifested hardware from across the globe. In order to put a neat little bow on this Southern Hemisphere slugfest of Test Match rugby we get the boys to grade all the nations in the TRC on how they performed in the past six games and where they stack up as they head north for their respective spring tours. Whilst we talk about our little friends north of the Equator, the KOKO Crew drop the dates and details for their hotly anticipated spring time tour, as the lads get ready to ruthlessly rumble with live shows in Cardiff, London, Edinburgh and Dublin. So please head to our website for all the necessary information, so you the punter can be part of this debaucherous descent on the UK and Ireland.As we take a little step back from the Test Match arena this week, we decided that there is no greater distraction from the ebbs and flows of footy than our next very special guest. If you ever need to fill a pod from whistle to whistle then this bloke is your answer, because when he gets tired talking about himself he has every expectation that you will pick up the baton and continue this self-centered lovefest. This larger than life loveable larrikin stopped by KOKO HQ for an unforgettable session and turned this once quaint and humble rugby show into the throbbing hog it has always wanted to be. So please put your hands together for this full time fucking legend and part time grumpy bastard. He is a big, bald, beautiful Brisbane boy and he is The KOKO Show’s Mt Everest, it is the one and only Mr Wendell Sailor. However, in between all these delightfully Dell infused discussions we find some time to show our major sponsor MYER some love with a masterfully manicured mixed bag ‘Match Fit’. Plus, we sucked back on a couple of lagers from Easy Times Beer Co and discussed our ‘Super Sizzlers’ for the week thanks to our dear friends at BeefEater and Appliances Online. So if you are in need for a little trip down ‘Degenerate Drive’ to really loosen the shackles and get amped for summer then this show is the one for you. It is time for another episode of Kick Offs and Kick Ons.

This week on ‘The KOKO Match Review’ the boys are up bright and early nursing sore heads and weary eyes to give you ‘ra ra’ roundup like no other. We will fine-tooth comb our way through Bledisloe two, where the All Blacks were pushed to the edge early by a brave and willing Wallabies team in windy Wellington. After getting off to a fast start this week the Wallabies mounted significant pressure, but when push came to shove, the points came a lot easier for the big brutal boys from the land of the long white cloud. The papers and social clips will read that the Wallabies went down two to nil in the Bledisloe Cup, but it is clear to the naked eye that our ‘Gangsters of Gold’ are putting in a ‘Schmidt’ tonne effort and are progressing nicely. With the TRC on the line it would be reckless of The KOKO Crew not to address the neat little treat in Nelspruit between the Springboks and Pumas. Although the Pumas had a snowflake's chance in hell to hold the TRC title in their sassy South American hands, it was the banging Boks in the end that got up really big for Eben Etzebeth in his record breaking match. The ‘Green Goblins’ of gritty rugby proved way too strong at home for the pedestrian Pumas, claiming their much deserved place at the tippy top of The Rugby Championship. So if you are rising slowly this fine morning muttering the words “Sundays are for Swoop” then throw on your coziest crotchless pants and listen to our dulcet tones to get you really hot and heavy. It is time for ‘The KOKO Match Review’. 00:00 - Intros02:18 - Springboks v Los Pumas12:07 - Wallabies v All Blacks20:49 - KOKO Beers for Sale - go to www.kickoffsandkickons.comBig thanks to MYER for their support and remember you can buy everything you saw on the show from you local MYER or online - https://www.myer.com.auCheers also to BeefEater for coming back on board with KOKO, please check out their websites to see their great selection of BBQ's, rangehoods and fridges.AUSTRALIA - https://www.appliancesonline.com.au/brand/beefeaterEUROPE - https://beefeaterbbqeurope.co.uk/pages/contact-usFinally a massive thanks to our new beer sponsor, Easy Times Beer Co.

This week on The KOKO Show we take a long hard look at round five of The Rugby Championship, a weekend that saw the giddy guys of gold push the All Blacks to the edge in Bledisloe one, as well as the World Champion blazing Boks getting pantsed by the prideful Pumas in a one point thriller. These games are broken down and picked apart by the KOKO Crew as if they were vultures on a sun baked Kudu carcass lying in the middle of the Serengeti.To help us through this delectable feast of footy filled fabulousness, we have called in the big guns. This fella is one of New Zealand's favourite and somewhat forgotten sons, In 2011 he was the first-five that went from whitebait fishing to World Cup winning. So, please put your hands together for the wholesome hairy Beaver, the Waikato Wizard and the only man to ooze sexy with the middle name Rexy, Mr Stephen Donald. In this week’s episode Beaver takes across the ditch to see what the classy Kiwis are saying about their side's sub-par performance over the weekend, whilst also lifting the lid on what appears to be the start of a footy fuelled national crisis in New Zealand.With all this sporting sensationalism hooked straight to our veins, the boys felt it was pertinent to spend a little time to show MYER our major sponsor some love with a perfectly fierce, flashy and spectacularly ‘sigma’ mixed bag ‘Match Fit. Plus, we go around again with our meaty mates from BeefEater, serving up some serious ‘Super Sizzlers’ and the lads issue a big thanks to our purveyor of mothers milk Easy Times Beer Co for quenching the needs of four thirsty men.On top of all this we roll out a couple of fan fables on the ‘Dear Drew’ hotline and we bring back a juicy ‘Northern Hemisphere Legends’ as the top-halfers go ham for footy once again. So get out your paints, don your smocks and dust off the old easel, we want you to paint us like one of your French girls, as this porous pod sinks to brand new lows.

This week in the ‘KOKO Match Review’ the boys peel back the layers on the All Blacks Bledisloe Cup victory in Sydney and they also have a little gander at top of the TRC tussle between Argentina and the Springboks. In James Slipper’s record breaking 140th cap for his country, it was the men from the land of the long white cloud that started fast against the wasteful Wallabies, stacking on the 21 unanswered in the first 15 minutes. Despite a brave and gutsy comeback from our ‘Gladiators in Gold’ in the second half, the early All Black rampage had us Aussies pushing ‘Schmidt’ uphill. It might be another ‘L’ in the results column for the Wallabies, but the KOKO Crew discuss at length the strengths and pitfalls of this young Aussie side heading into game two in Wellington.The fellas also find a morsel time to touch on the ‘Big Boy’ bout between Argentina and South Africa. In a match where the stakes were sky high for both sides in relation to their TRC title hopes, but it was the punishing Pumas that went full alpha and said “hold my Malbec”, as they tightened up the TRC race heading into the final round in Nelspruit. With the Bled locked up at Razor’s ranch and the TRC crown still up for grabs, it is time for the men of KOKO to bathe in the delicacies and nuances of our beautiful game, please enjoy another dose of the ‘KOKO Match Review’.

This week on The KOKO Show we set the scene for round five of the TRC, bigging up all things Bledisloe Cup and how the Wallabies can leave a hypothetical bag of flaming Schmidt on the All Black’s doorstep. Despite the Trans-Tasman tussle being the centerpiece this weekend, we also give the Argentina v South Africa title race match a little love, debating whether the prancing Pumas have what it takes at home to pull down some silky Springbok slacks.In order to enhance all this glorious rugby chat we have enlisted the help of one of the greatest Kiwis to ever do it. He might be small in stature but boy was he big in the ‘pain in the arse’ department, he is the puny punisher from Palmerston North and the Herculean halfback who broke Aussie hearts for fun. Please welcome our favourite little deep fried delicacy Mr Aaron ‘Nuggy’ Smith. On the show, Nuggy breaks down what it's like watching the All Blacks from afar, how he sees the Bledisloe Cup panning out and lifts the lid on the terrifying fact that his International playing days might not be over.With all this manic footy preparation surrounding the KOKO Crew we spare a little time to show MYER our major sponsor some love with a perfectly curated, elegantly electric and decadently drenched mixed bag ‘Match Fit. Plus, we welcome back our meaty mates from BeefEater and the lads issue a big thanks to our new beer/mothers milk provider Easy Times Beer Co out of Brisbane.On top of all this fiscal fanfare we fill this fallow week with three new spectacular segments which include, ‘Sundays are for Swoop’, ‘Get fit with Gits’ and ‘Dear Drew: The KOKO Hotline’. So sit back, lather yourself in coconut oil, sit in the sun and sizzle in the serenity of our podcasting putridness. They say there is nothing healthy about our show, but fuck me it is always a wild ride. It’s time for an all new Kick Offs and Kick Ons.TIMECODES - 00:00 - Start of the show 03:09 - Shout out to MYER04:03 - Introduce the boys 14:00 - We have a beer sponsor thanks to Early Times Beer Co.20:07 - Rugby Roundup Part 1 - Argentina v Springboks preview and predictions30:43 - Match Fit brought to you by MYER49:08 - Introduce special guest Aaron Smith55:19 - Rugby Roundup Part 2 - Australia v New Zealand preview and predictions57:51 - Aaron’s opinion on the current All Blacks01:08:44 - Start, bench and drop with Aaron Smith01:12:27 - Aaron’s prediction for Bledisloe one01:22:39 - The Wallabies returning to the squad - Paisami and McReight 01:23:38 - The boys predict the result of Bledisloe one.01:27:47 - Super Sizzler brought to you by BeefEater01:31:40 - Close of the show   Big thanks to MYER for their support and remember you can buy everything you saw on the show from you local MYER or online - https://www.myer.com.auCheers also to BeefEater for coming back on board with KOKO, please check out their websites to see their great selection of BBQ's, rangehoods and fridges.AUSTRALIA - https://www.appliancesonline.com.au/brand/beefeaterEUROPE - https://beefeaterbbqeurope.co.uk/pages/contact-usFinally a massive thanks to our new beer sponsor, Easy Times Beer Co.
