...they said, "We'd never make it!" Well. well, well. Here we are. Season 2. What better way could we kick this season off, than to sit down with the man behind the FOSSEY'S GIN label, Steve Timmis. Timmo is somewhat of a Renascence Man. He has dipped his big toe into many, many a project. so... in our first episode back, we pretty much let Timmo steer the Houseboat through and around the ins-n-outs of; Gin, Whiskey, Rum, Vodka, France, Family, and Public Toilets. We are NICK & RAY, and we hope you enjoy Season 2. Stick around for: Larry Perkins. Courtney Wakefeild. Nathan Carney. Robert DiPierdomenico. Bob Starky. ANGE & KOUTA. Adam Thompson. Plus the return of: SHIT BEER OF THE WEEK WHERER IS THE RAT THIS WEEK? And introducing our new Segments: WHO SIGNS OFF ON THIS SHIT?! TECH TALK WITH ADAM. THINGS THAT MAKE YOU GO Hmmmm...
Hello friends, and welcome to Season 2. We had the great pleasure of catching up with Mark Eustice at the Alma Tavern in Adelaide during the inaugural AFL Gather Round. Mark's tale is not one of flags and medals. Mark's tale is one of a lack of awareness, a lack of support, and a lack of knowledge of what is really going on in a young person's head. He may not have the awards and accolades, but he definitely has our respect. If you or someone you know is in need, don't wait to ask for help. www.beyondblue.org.au www.lifeline.org.au www.goodblokessociety.com www.handsupaustralia.com.au
Well, well, well... we made it to Episode 10. Who would have guessed?! This week we got on the blower with Flea Weightman after a weekend in Adelaide at the Footy, to shoot the shit about everything; from the 1980 Grand Final, to how the Premiership Cup was misplaced, and what life looks like now for one of Mildura's favourite sons. Strap yourselves in.
Hold on to your beer, because this episode is 'loose'! We caught up with the lads from AMONG THE RESTLESS on the Sunday following a triumphant showing at The Setts on a balmy night in Mildura. We didn't delve too deep as everyone was very dusty - including yours truly - but we did manage to find out where we can get our hands on some Malocchio seltzer! Cheers.
Okay, the 'ISHSIB Podcast' is all about breaking ground and trying new things. So... we are back with Brendan who is going to try a beer for the first time EVER!! Full disclosure - its a 0.0 beer. Welcome to SHIT BEER OF THE WEEK. @mattnifico_graphic_design www.mattnifico.com.au @sunraysia_bread_butter @greatnorthern_aus
Well... This week is a doozy! Not only does our guest love the Richmond Football Club, he also has a thing for Reptiles, Ford motor vehicles, and Politics. Further to that, he also holds the position of 'Pastor of Pastors' in the Seventh Day Adventist Church. And... he is also Ray's brother! Please sit back and enjoy this totally engrossing episode.
This week we were sequestered away to the Grand Hotel Boardroom for a sitdown with the 15 year old Italian kid who went on to become a household name in the regional City he calls home. Please be upstanding, for... The Don.
We are up early 'again' to talk to Sheridan Stewart, who has a strong connection to Mildura and the region. Sheridan is an ABC radio presenter currently working on the sunshine coast. This week she is back in Mildura for an 'In Conversation' night at The Mildura Brewery. We got an early look at the life and times of the original 'Rock Chick', and how she came to write her very first book, "I AM ENOUGH", and why an English woman got to narrate the Audio version. Your 90 day challenge starts here.
The one and only Bec Gange is our next participant in the I SHOULD HAVE STAYED IN BED experiment. Bec has more wakeboarding awards than Nico's had Parmys. She is also a fantastic Ambassador for Mildura, and our region. Plus... she has taken Vegemite to America. Now...that is seriously impressive! Grab a coffee and pop a HEELSLIDE 540 for Brekkie. ;)
This week Ray and I have a beer - or two - with local legend and all 'round nice guy, Ken Innes. Ken has done the Kokoda Trail in Papua New Guinea more than a dozen times, and it's not for the reason you may think. (Unless you know him, of course.)
On this episode we go deep down under Mildura's crust to talk to 'our' very own Austr-Italian superstar, Stefano De Pieri. Sit down with a nice wine, and a comfy cushion for an in-depth conversation about why Mildura is the place to be, and how it could be so much more.
Now that Christmas is over, and the new year has started, we’re back - though some suspected otherwise - with episode 2. Today we go deep with VFL/AFL Hall of Fame inductee… Anthony Koutoufides.
For our first episode we have quite a frank discussion about f^#*ing cancer with our great friend, Nathan Hand. Plus, we road test 'Sh*t Beer of the Week, and catch up with Rat on the phone. #SHITBEEROFTHEWEEK #WHEREISTHERAT? #FUCKCANCER
