This week we ran into the one and only Adam Gilchrist... And completely deck chaired (folded under pressure). And that really set the theme for the episode. A couple of The Chocs are feeling the pressure in their love life and have turned to us for advice, and then we put ourselves under pressure trying to chime into conversation while wearing noise cancelling headphones... Brilliant. We wrap things up by discussing some perfect sponsorships and celebrating the end of Taylor Swift's Eras Tour. Hope you enjoy!

We have returned from Japan with plenty of stories regarding the calibre of toilets, vending machines and capsule hotels! We can give you plenty of Do's and Don'ts from our own travel experiences. Actually we certainly focus more on the Don'ts. We have a piece of advice for all journalists covering cricket this summer. There are more nicknames for mates and some of them are so specific they require a bit of back story! Here is how it went:

1. Heat v Cold
2. Listen to the Chocs
3. Media... Simmer
4. Japan Trip
5. Nicknames for Mates
6. Say the Same Word
7. You're in for an X

We are joined this week by Tim Naki, who has amassed a major following by betting 10c for every follower on the blackjack table. 

We learn plenty about the strategy of Blackjack, come up with a nickname for his friend Rob, and Gode and Tim ambush the podcast to bond over horse racing. 

Hell of a fun chat with Tim! Hope you enjoy. You can follow Tim on Instagram here.

Jana is ready and raring to confirm whether some of the 'Icks' Women have for Men, that we see on social media, are actually real. Fair to say that Leigh and Skin feel very targeted in this segment! Gode has some things he needs to get off his chest in a new small segment where he moans about things that annoy him. Oh he also wants it sponsored immediately. Leigh retells his and Mickus' flawless planning session from their golf day last week and we try get to the bottom of why Australians don't like the C word!

Homework: We're going to Japan with Jetstar so wave if you see us there!

There are songs but then there are also songs that have well and truly fallen off your radar but they still are class. That's what Mickus is looking for in his quest for the Ultimate Slapper. Leigh, Skin and Mickus all contributed deckchair moments to society last week, and Gode's reaction to each of them will absolutely not disappoint you. We get half a voice memo, a great Trivia game and a new Friend of the Show all within this episode. Oh and ChatGPT has written a diss track back at Gode! Here is what we covered:

1. Skin's BBQ
2. Deckchair Moments
3. Songs that Slap
4. Not so Breaking News
5. Chad Claps Back
6. You're a Quizzard Gode

Is there a piece of celebrity drama that has hooked you in? We are coming clean on ours this week. Leigh has failed to impress Gode despite being on fire domestically across the weekend. Lyric Substitut-Skin got a revamp and it is back with a vengeance. The game also provides some real diamond and deckchair moments. We learn plenty of new terms in Fictionary but most importantly... create the greatest podcasting award ever known.

Here is how it things went:

1. Celebrity Drama
2. The Number Plate Game
3. Lyric Substitut-Skin
4. Golfing Press Conference

We have some cracking Listen to the Chocs including a Halloween story that is more bad luck than bad management! Nicknames are something we use a lot in day to day life so we dive into some of the funniest nicknames we have had sent in!

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. Here is what you are in for:

1. Birthing & Cricket
2. Listen to the Chocs
3. Must or Dust
4. Under-appreciated Achievements
5. Namestorm
6. Finish the Lyrics

Leigh and Skin's mum (Dizzle) actually sent them a cracker of a video which shaped some conversation around sentences that would definitely start an argument with your significant other. Mickus thought he was friends with a famous athlete... but he isn't. We have some reviews and voice notes that are real noodle scratches but we work through them.
