    Gode finished this episode by saying to Leigh, "I think that's the funniest thing you have ever said." We had stopped recording at that point so you don't hear it, but it really does set the tone for the episode this week. We named a Tesla, gave credit to some under-appreciated achievements you guys have notched up that weren't fussed over enough at the time and tried a new game! Footage of Skin being run out has gone viral and we come to a staggering realisation about the pogs.

  • "Hmm Forest Gump" feat. Tim Franklin

    01:17:52|
    Scouts, we were fortunate enough to chat with a guest who has done something pretty incredible. His name is Tim Franklin, and he just completed the ultimate marathon—he's literally run around the world! From the deserts of Australia to freezing conditions in Europe and everything in between, he’s taken on an insane journey that’s pushed his mental and physical limits.Now we chatted to him pretty much straight after he completed it but obviously it has taken us 4-6 business years to edit and release it so some of the references are a few weeks behind. But he is a great man and also hilarious. So we hope you enjoy his story.Very appreciative of your support here and we try to provide something useful for you in terms of discount codes and other content! Check it out here.

    We assume everyone is still celebrating the amazing Brisbane Lions win in the 2024 AFL Grand Final right? We don't even care if you are reading this in three years time! Gode has a horror story for Skin about parenting that had him thinking about his bathroom storage situation. We had an email from a listener asking for a Namestorm on the phrase 'That Slays' so that it's more acceptable for grown adults to use. The boys have another hypothetical debate that gets Gode thinking about what it would be like to be a Professional Golfer while Leigh more just lists the jobs he would be terrible at!
