Fire Up!

For the final show of the year we wrap up deluxe the NRL Grand Finals, both men's and women's, starting and finishing with a deep dive inside the enigmatic Reece Martin's head, driving by the big brawl in the NRLW Final, Teddy Swims v Snoop, the Telstra wristband, a slight digression through the Sydney 2000 Olympics, Spinal Tap 2, Madge and Bellyache, and, as always, much, much more. Including a magnificent ode to Craig Bellamy from Denis Carnahan. Thanks to all for listening this year, and a big thanks to our Producer and Editor Mash Ferris & The Personal Best Studios for helping us get this nonsense on the air every week. See yas in 2026!

With special guest Redfern Pat out of the NRL Buinker and LIVE in the studio this week, After discussing the short lived "Freya Fires Up!" show on SKYNews and the misappropriation of the Fire Up! brand, Snoop Dogg and his doppelganger, Teddy Swims' cancellation, shenanigans at the Caringbah Inn, and an emo Raiders lament from Denis Carnahan, our hosts finally get down to talking about some football....or do they? Thanks for listening and see you next week for the GF Wrapup X See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The underdog Shark’s triumph, Canberra’s lack of soul - and humour - exposed, the astonishing hypocrisy of the Roosters’ “Zero Tolerance” policy towards leaning in to look at bags of powder, the ‘unsustainable” culture at Belmore Rd, and the breathtaking Panthers….all get discussed in this week’s episode. As usual we get a brilliant NRL parody song from Denis Carnahan and, as always, much more that we can’t discuss here. Thanks for listening. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week our hosts discuss the first week of the finals with special guest PJ Lane, son of legendary entertainer Don Lane, who has plenty of stories to tell!

This week it seems the travails of several NRL venues are all over the news and we wholeheartedly embrace the discussion! From The Gateway to Hell and the hot springs under Allianz to the idea of relocating the Roosters to Mudgee we leave no stone unturned. Denis Carnahan goes back to the 80's with Big Club Theory and we discuss "Spoonbowl" and much, much more. Thanks for listening x See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's not very often that our hosts get to bask in the rarefied air of the lowly Tigers and Dragons both winning on a weekend - and beating the top 2 teams in the comp, but it seems they'd prefer to concentrate on the true bad boys of Rugby League - the journalists! Have a listen to see what they're on about....as always it's the best alternative look at League going around See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week's guest is the incredibly talented Denis Carnahan, who you all know from his weekly NRL satire songs that we a the ABC both feature. As a lifelong Raiders fan, he shares his feelings as they move into flag favouritism. We also discuss dictators, sentimental favourites, the Putin-like regime changes at the Dragons, and, as always, much, much more. Thanks for listening :) See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Is every NRL team trying to find their "soul"? Have "The Big Clubs" found theirs? Is Hefron Park haunted? What of the Roosters Undead? Where will the Wollongong Dragons find theirs? Has Tim Tszuyu had his soul taken? In this Hammer Horror Edition of Fire Up!, our hosts examine the existential underpinnings of the NRL sporting landscape. Thanks for listening zombies See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Still smarting from the Origin stinker last Wednesday night, our hosts complain about the game, the traffic, queue jumpers, the music - Dear God, the "music" - and furthermore aren't alleviated by their own teams losses on the weekend. They also discuss the Coaching Carousel, Ponga, Foran, Bennett, Seibold, Ming The Merciless and MUCH, MUCH MORE. Thanks for listening. It can only get better. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sorry listeners, our hosts are still in the medical room - back next week for sure! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Apologies League Lovers, but our starting backrowers Ferris & Gale have been struck low by one of the multiple viruses coursing through Sydney this week and were unable to suit up today. Hopefully they'll be back fit and firing for next week's atrocities. Stay tuned and stay healthy See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week our hosts dive deep into dreams, those that come true and those that don't, from Indiana Carroll's Dallas Cowboy's audition to the Perth Meningas, from the PVL Jet to SOO#2. Denis Carnahan sings an ode to Josh Papalii, and they address the Club in Crisis de Jour - with the Sea Eagles Under Siege and their premiership dream in tatters. And as always, Stephen dreams of the day when the Dragons' Joint Venture is dissolved and they once again play at the SCG (Precinct). Thanks for listening, and dreaming, with us. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

While there is an awful lot for our hosts to talk about this week - and trust us they do! - from the dull State of Origin Buildup to The Enhanced Games to SBW v Gal, one topic absolutely dominates this week, what we like to call "The Life and Times of Gus Gould." It's a lot. Tune in, and let us know what you think. See you on the Park. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
