One of our great mates Ronald John Tully the III drops in for a yarn while he is in the big smoke for the NFL. We cover growing up on the coast, making the big decision to pack up and move out west, becoming a ‘Seaweed Cowboy’, and his impeccable record of getting through 100% of the shit days. Tully also brings a very special gift for Benny, a custom made 7 man blind fold championship belt that will be carried out and up for grabs at the Podcast Royale 3.0 on the 26th of September where Benny will be defending his title from last year and now his newly acquired belt as well!  Do yourself a favour and grab a ticket to the Podcast Royale 3.0 being held on the Gold Coast on the 26th of September and cheer on Benny as he defends his belt: https://alpha-events.com.au/ Join Flight Club, the Flying Blind Facebook Community group here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1047936994280199/ Get around Flying Blind on socials: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/flyingblindpodcast/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/Flying-Blind-Podcast/61580557913440/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@flyingblindpodcast If you’ve got a question, guest suggestion or just want to get in touch, we’d love to hear from you!

Benny and Ames catch up on everything they have been up to lately, however they have to start with Benny’s big burnt lip! Turns out 30 seconds in the microwave is way too long to reheat a hot jam donut as benny found out the hard way. There was a rescue mission at a local festival as well as smoking meat, off chicken and a new addition to the backyard for Fathers Day. This week’s addition of ‘what caught your eye’ focused in on RUOK? Day this Thursday the 9th of September and the importance of thinking about your answer to the question and what else we can add to the question itself so it’s not so easy to answer without thinking.  Thanks again to everyone who got around our first merch pre sale, we bloody love all of you!  If your keen on joining Ben at a Night In The Hills at Riot Tallace on Friday the 18th of September, you can grab your tickets here- https://www.ryeattallis.com.au/whats-on  Get along to the Gold Coast on the 26th of September for Podcast Royale 3.0 and cheer on Benny as he jumps back into the ring in the 7 man blind fold fight representing the Flying Blind Podcast and our amazing community! https://www.alpha-events.com.au/   Join Flight Club on Facebook!

In this week’s episode of Flying Blind Ben sits down with drifter & dad, Tate Lindstrom, AKA the ‘One Arm Bandit’. Tate was born with one arm that wasn’t fully formed and even though it was a shock to his parents initially with a ‘can do’ attitude and plenty of trial and error, there hasn’t been much in the world of motorsport that Tate hasn’t had a crack at. Whether it was go karts, motorcross or his current passion, drifting, Tate’s approach has always been that thinking outside the box combined with plenty of hours in the shed makes pretty much anything possible!

In this week’s episode of Flying Blind, Ames and Benny catch up and cover why blind people should be exempt from hay fever, Amy’s launch into #HomelyFans, how good a day at the local footy is, plus another instalment of ‘what caught your eye?’ with new buildings, fascinating stories, and penguins catching the attention this week.  Benny also shares the story behind his love for footy shorts. It’s got nothing to do with his short lived junior footy career before he went blind, but a way to keep his best mate Cammo and his memory close, as a reminder of how he loved to live life.   There is also an update on incoming merch that’s not far away now so keep your eyes and ears peeled for that! Enjoy this one and we hope you have a ripper week!  Join the Flying Blind Podcast Community group on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1047936994280199 Get around Flying Blind on socials! Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/flyingblindpodcast/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/Flying-Blind-Podcast/61580557913440/https://www.tiktok.com/@flyingblindpodcast If you’ve got a question, guest suggestion or just want to get in touch, we’d love to hear from you!
