Fire Up!

The ANZAC Day Rd throws up a plethora of talking points for this week, including but not limited to - "Eyes Up" Ipswich footy, is Brendan Cowell REALLY Nostradamus,? Kickoff - Yay or Nay? Sam Walker's winning Beard and winning ways, and is "Doghead" as an insult Paul Kent's best media work yet? Rugby League Biology is back with plenty to discus. Also - Where were the Black Hawks? Terry Hill RIP. The Caxton St. Globetrotters. Pandemonium. Denis Carnahan's musical tribute to Jarrod Croker. And of course....Paul Kent's watch. Tune in for the details. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

With our first guest for the year in the studio, actor/writer/Cronulla fan Brendan Cowell comes in all guns blazing, shooting opinions from his hip about everything from the gold plated taps at Casa Melbourne Storm to how he would revitalise the Roosters and eliminate The Titans, whilst he picks the NSW Origin Team and lauds the Tszuyu brothers as Australian treasures. Regular segment "Rugby League Biology" gets a start as does new segment "Dial In!" And as always, much more - and a song from Denis Carnahan! Tune in for laughs and solid opinions. Then rate and review if you would. Luv yas! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Round 6 of the Season sees a return to the good old days of feuds, anger, hate and turmoil as Sticky Ricky, the Game's Greatest Thinker, is back in superior form and initiates a proper stink with Des Hasler. Our hosts also dive deep on to the ongoing feud between Parasite Peter Fitzsimmons and Jimmy Graham, the turmoil at Souths, The Lomax vortex of common sense, the diminishing loveability of the Tigers and of course the comedy stylings of Flanno! All this and much more, and a brilliant track from Denis Carnahan called "Demetriou." Listen in for enlightenment. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Our hosts dissect the wild and woolly Round 5 of the NRL, asking whether or not James Tedesco is an impediment to his own health?, is Latrell "too special"?, is Billy Slater "The Modern Horseman" or "The Electric Cowboy?" and where to next for the upwardly mobile Rabbitohs? Not to mention discussions of Keith Barnes, Zac Lomax, the Dialled-In Waratahs, Social Darwinism, Michael Jennings, David Klemmer and the ever-evolving Rugby League Etymology. With an incredible tune from Denis Carnahan and of course much, much more. Subscribe, like, share, review, discuss etc etc blah blah See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Redfern Pat gives us his weekly Fire Up! Mediawatch update See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

After a slow news week where even the Sydney Swans AFLW Team can outdo the entire NRL on the Atrocity ladder, our hosts explore themes of resilience and distraction, taking a look at Albert Hopoate's "bizarre cooking accident", Tim Tszuyu's bloodied boxing battle and the unlikely results that see both Tigers and Dragons with weekend wins. And as always, much, much more. Tune in, and if you like what your hear then we'd love to hear your thoughts - or tell your friends. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Redfern Pat takes us through key moments - Trell, Swear, Coates try, Scrum See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

From the Stench in Canberra to the Toxic Swamp in Cronulla, from the sublimity of Xavier Coates's try to the ridiculousness of Latrell's new language profile, from Astro Travelling with Bradley Charles Stubbs and Robbo to the emerging nexus of MAGA, Polites and Vlandys, there's a LOT of surface area, both physical and mystical, covered in this week's episode. Tune in for it all to make some kind of sense. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

With the season lurching into gear, our hosts discuss purpose and dignity, Princess Kate, emotional support animals, prejudice plus power, and, yes, true grit. We get a song from Denis Carnahan, look forward to the Ravalawa Bobblehead, glimpse at the fun and games at the Slater Ranch, and getting down to Rugby League, ask "what is going wrong at the Bulldogs? and pose the Question we're all thinking: "With all the obvious body sculpting going on at The Dragons, are they on the good drugs with Flanno?!" All this and much more See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Acknowledging that nothing will ever be the same again, our hosts take a deeeeep breath and carefully analyse the Vegas experiment. They despair at the lack of off-field atrocities, the disappointing Game Day entertainment, the musical cliches, and the general lack of "Rugby League-ness".....did the game really do enough to attract the idiot sporting speculators of America? But let's not say too much - listen in for the full 360 Fire Up! Report. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

With one Fire Up! host - Gale - heading over to Vegas and the other - Ferris - tragically marooned in Sydney, they get the 2024 Season underway with a look at the disappointing lack of NRL pre-season atrocities thus far, tempered with the boundless potential for mischief on the Strip. They also discuss what the evil Cameron Smith might be bringing to the Currumbin U15 program now that he has assumed coaching responsibilities. Denis Carnahan sings about Vegas and as always there is much, much more. Thanks for listening and bring on the atrocities. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

With hope, dreams and wistful longing coursing through their veins, Stephen and Kris are back for a Pre-Season look at what's coming up in the 2024 Season of the NRL. From Anal Beads to Viva Las Vegas, The Nevada 4 to Richo of Nazareth, Star Spangled Steedens to Davey Warner's Baggy Greens, all the big issues facing the NRL and the wider world of Australian sport get discussed. It's good to be back. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

With temperatures climbing and a hot grand final drawing near, our hosts keep their heads cool and debate the big issues facing the game without pride or prejudice, fear or favour. From "Alex The Grub" - the forthcoming Fire Up! Children's book, to Reece Walsh's mesmerising eyes, from the quantum physics of forward passes to the Chairman "Dictatorships" of Hagipatelis and Lancaster, from Shaun Johnson's happiness to Val and Rowdy's double act, no stone gets left unturned in this week's diagnosis of the soap opera we affectionately know as Rugby League. Listen with a friend. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
