Super Bantam Aussie Boxer Vegas Larfield joins us for a yarn. Vegas' story on how he begun his boxing career is quite the interesting yarn as it revolved around a major decision to stop playing NRL and pursue having a swing in the ring. We discuss his style and approach to his opponents, how he took up one of his first professional fights on a major world card on short notice and run through what he aims to achieve in his boxing career in the super bantam division. We wish the best for this legend and appreciate him making the trip for the yarn. Enjoy legends!

With the Podcast Royale literally around the corner, the boys are ready to absolutely steam into the ring and straight into a trench after their efforts. Before they get in there, there's yarns to be heard and yet again the trendsetters aren't slowing down the absolute heat: some ABC action, blowing up when life deals ya a sh*t hand for a day and we hear from our favourite Uncle off the bat with a classic Fridging yarn. Enjoy trendsetters, and we will see you on the other side! Remember: next week we're running Talkback on Tuesday and we will be back Thursday for the big recap of what we hope to be one of the funnest events for the ages.

The final sitting in the couch before The Podcast Royale, nerves are starting to fly but more than that excitement is building for what we hope to be one of the greatest weekends of all time. We run through our fight predictions for the whole card before nailing all the admin and information you'll need to get around us having a biff. Some great discussion around what the most iconic Aussie dinner is before some wild stories during the news: NASA's search for Nessy and the alien front is firing in Peru. Some great motivation and a tune of the week to wrap things up before we all start packing our bags to get ready to steam on to the Goldy for the event we've all been longing for. Can't wait to see you all there trendsetters!

We won't lie to ya, we've been biting off more than we can chew and chewing like absolute f*ck. The boys still always show up despite a lot of exhaustion happening on the flats recently. We run through a great weekend nonetheless, including our chat with Buttsmarn, his live show, putting Danny Grant on a bull and catching up with our good mate Brad Cox, we've had some legends come through HQ this weekend! After wrapping, we finally announce that we've got a new headquarters and what our plans will be for it. This leads us to some Pizza action during Cooking With Daddy and a major focus on one of the greatest moments in UFC history during the Alpha News. Max Holloway features heavily in motivation before we look at some new made up sports that have been peeling the flats recently, including a fan favourite, Car-Jitsu. Hope you legends have a fantastic week as we begin to creep even closer to the big one, The Podcast Royale. Enjoy trendsetters!

Dubbed as Australia's most controversial comedian, Isaac "The Buttsmarn" Butterfield joins us for a yarn. Whilst on his regional tour, Isaac had a show in Gladstone and was generous enough to chew the fat with us for an hour and a half. We dive straight in to content creation on socials and the online space and how Isaac has grown his channels whilst remaining true to his comedy style, including the jokes that got him "cancelled". We run his Stand Up style, how becoming a Father has changed his life whilst touring and a couple of hilarious yarns about some of his wildest times on stage (and in a bus). To finish off, we discuss his plans for the regional tour he is currently on, travelling to Austin last year to meet the team at the Comedy Mothership and then finally what drove him to become an Author and write his book, Better Man. We're super grateful the Buttsmarn dropped in for a yarn. Enjoy trendsetters!

ABC - Aircons Back C*nts. The studio is cold enough to dry age a beast as hoody season is approaching. We kick things off with a rundown of the fight card of the Podcast Royale and more details of the event as we begin to close in on the big night in less than three weeks time. Tommy runs us through his weekend away at Stanage, which makes us question how blind you have to be to get in to your rooftop tent. Cooking With Daddy covers the Beer Can Chicken the boys nailed on the weekend, potentially making the moistest chook you’ll ever gnaw on. The Hard Geezer is a hot topic as we run through his story and him finishing his run across Africa in the Alpha News, a couple of motivational clips and some great questions from the Trendsetters to wrap up the show. Big week at HQ this week with some ripper guests coming up. Enjoy legends!

Easter blowups, eating cereal in the car and dealing with the toddlers "no" phase, this instalment of talkback has it all, including plenty of side splitting laughs! Was exactly what we needed after punching each other at sparrows fart this morning. The yarns from the trendsetters near and far continue to increase in premium quality as Tom had an absolute sh*tter of a job picking the winning yarn. Enjoy legends!

Rocking up on Easter Monday to deliver the yarns to your ears after pounding tins and choccy all weekend. We dive into Cam's stint at Rockynats before we run through what a CQ Easter Bunny would actually look like and the hessian sack slide ride at every Aussie carnie setup. A few yarns about learning instruments at school leads us to rank our favourite instruments before we run through some Tomahawk action in Cooking With Daddy. One of the most requested news stories gets covered thoroughly on the Alpha News desk before some laughs and great perspective chat in motivation and running through some content in the trendsetters group. Another jam packed week planned for us here as the biff begins to poke its head around the corner. Hope you all have a ripper week legends, rip in!

The one you've all been waiting for. Fez, The Free Range Pig Farmer, joins us for a 3 and a half hour yarn. Well overdue this one, we kick off with what we've all been up too together on his visit here and then dive straight into how our relationship all began: our callout to Guinea Pigs and Fez's return serve as a salt of the earth free range guineapigman. In the first hour, this leads to how he started the hobby farm, the variety of animals on there and the weirdest critters his ever seen in his experience as an all around wildlife carer in Gippsland thus far. The second hour kicks us off with his normal 9-5, how he got his trade, the reasons why he's stuck to it for so long (except for the time he had a stint as a stripper) and his career in country footy before travelling Europe and participating in Pamplona, the great bull run in Spain. The final third of the yarn we finish off with his other hobbies, including his love for fishing, Go-Pro and drone filmography and how these resulted in some rather negative experiences in traditional media, but then turned around to one of the largest growing positive social media presences in the past couple of years with his adventures with his family on the hobby farm. Was an absolute honour to get this man on the couch, and as we said, it won't be the last. Enjoy trendsetters!
