Podcast Episode 42

Great to see Shabs having a great time afterwards with the Birthday girl. (Would you believe he sang ABBA?)

The Ashes are all but won by the Aussies & the English press are baying for blood. The Tinman & Shabadoo are back with another installment after failing to locate last weeks recording. We settled in at the Coral Cove Bar for what turned out to be a great night. You will notice we changed the intro music for this recording as we allowed the birthday girl (Caitlyn) on karaoke to bring us in. Let us know if you like a mix up of intros or keep it the same every week.

While competing with the Karaoke we had a couple of drop visitors drop in for a story about a dangerous palm tree on the golf course before we looked at the Ashes series so far. How good is Mitch Johnson going? Even though Australia have been very dominant there are still frailties in the top order & a couple of batsmen should be very worried about their place in the team. The biggest mistake Australia can make is to keep picking the same squad while they are winning & allowing out of form players to remain in the team.

It isn't just the Ashes that is going on & we never miss a chance to look at how Queensland is going. With the Big bash starting soon expect plenty more cricket talk.

The A-League is going great and it is even better if you are a Brisbane Roar supporter. Berisha is on fire & it must be really hurting the southerners that Brisbane are doing so well. Shabs doesn't miss a chance to switch the talk to Liverpool FC & all the talk is about how Suarez is the form striker in the World. Just not sure if the Tinman needed to quite describe it how he did. We like the enthusiasm though.

The mid cast song which allows us to top up the beer supply is something a little different with the Christmas season in full swing now. With Walking Dead being such a popular show we couldn't go past MXPX's Christmas Night of Zombies.

Tinman's wife won't let him do karaoke but you can't keep a Big Dogg down as he gave Ferris moral support.

After the break the topic is still football as we look at the World Cup. We felt like we covered this last week but the recording is still missing. If found please let us know & send it bank, thanks.

Rugby is next on the agenda as the Shabs is definitely a rugby fanatic & with a break until next year he deserved to give them the credit they deserved.

ASADA. Or as we like to say Assholada. It seems to just keep going and going with lots of talk & little actual action. The Tinman lets loose on a rant with the AFL & Essendon showing what little regard they have for actually being tough on those who are caught. If you are an AFL fan this is the last time you will ever hear us talk about the game. Essendon in their actions have sent a message to kids that it is ok to do drugs & cheat.

The awards always wrap it up & the Bryce went to very worthy recipients. The Shabs stuck by his vilification of a rugby referee & the Tinman couldn't go past the Ashes umpires & in particular the crooked umpire from NZ.

The Marto followed in the same vane but it looks like the Wide World of Sports commentary team are going to be a regular this summer.

The SSO Fail was a mixed bag with the WWOS doing a segment that still has people cringing & from left field there is a deaf interpreter that is a worthy recipient.

The closing song is another Christmas ditty by The A.K.A.'s - Christmas in Hollies.
