  • 378. Gocsy's Podcast Royale Journey

    13:12||Ep. 378
    In this episode, Aaron “Gocsy” Gocs takes us inside his debut scrap on the Podcast Royale fight card - from getting the call-up, juggling training around real life, and learning how to talk shit for promotion, all the way to walking out in headgear to Smash Mouth in front of 5,000 screaming punters.Gocsy breaks down the nerves of being booed on entry, the blur of the bout, the dodgy ref with the rat’s tail trying to keep his opponent on his feet, and the exact moment he realised he’d actually got the win. We yarn about using the crowd’s hate as fuel, fighting as a dad with his daughter in the crowd, comparing a boxing high to landing a killer joke on stage, and why that one sweet victory now has him itching to glove up again.#propertrueyarn

    Aaron “Gocsy” Gocs is back on the couch to unpack his love affair with one of footy’s great battler clubs: the St Kilda Saints. From growing up a Broncos and NRL kid in Brisbane to falling in love with Melbourne’s AFL culture, Gocsy explains how family ties, Shane Warne, Eric Bana and a bit of self-imposed suffering turned him into a diehard Saints tragic.We yarn about his unofficial role with the club, shooting vids with players, getting shouted membership when he was broke, rubbing shoulders at Best & Fairest nights and copping it non-stop from fans of richer clubs. Gocsy breaks down sports fandom, why people act like they won the premiership, and why following a struggler teaches you to actually enjoy the little wins in footy - and in life.#propertrueyarn
