Ever felt like the holidays are happening to you rather than for you? We crack open the season with a candid, funny, and sometimes sweary walk through everything that makes December jagged: the work party that overshares, the shopping centre where manners vanish, and the gift economy that creates more clutter than connection. It’s a Grinch‑level honesty check, but with a soft spot for small fixes that actually make life better.

We start at the office party, where booze meets blurry boundaries and one sleazy moment can sour an entire night. From there, we move to the shops: elbows out, patience thin, and car parks that turn into obstacle courses. The stories are raw and real, but they point to simple shifts—lists instead of wandering, off‑peak runs, click‑and‑collect, and a calm drive that models better behaviour for the kids watching from the back seat.

The heart of the episode lands on rethinking gifts and family. If most adults already buy what they need, why keep exchanging items that gather dust? We champion experience gifts, donations in someone’s name, and tighter circles where presence matters more than presents. Family time gets easier when we set time limits, skip the baited arguments, and pick traditions that suit the people we are now. And yes, we talk about how years in retail can turn carols into noise—and how curating your own soundtrack can bring the joy back.

Come for the rant, stay for the relief. If you want a season with fewer headaches and more meaning, this one’s for you. Hit follow, share it with the mate who hates Mariah, and leave a review with your most overrated holiday ritual—we might feature it in the New Year special.

The mic warms up fast with holiday chaos, sharp humour, and a plan for two more shows before the year winds down. We jump from a country car show with family—airbrushed villains, chocolate strawberries, and easy laughs—to a brutal barbed wire main event where experience, timing, and trust turn danger into a story you can feel in your ribs. There’s no glory-mongering, just blunt respect for the toughest competitor in the room and the strange pride of still lacing up near 48 while the crowd roars.

The heartbeat shifts to home as Josh hits orientation, walks across a grade-six stage, and pockets a courage award. That small ceremony carries more weight than it seems, because courage threads through everything here: the will to referee another wild night, the patience to plan a Christmas special that might misbehave, and the backbone to confront a music industry that treats loyalty like a luxury tax. We put numbers on the table—Anthrax at Festival Hall at $180 versus Foo Fighters in a stadium starting at $99—and ask the only question that matters: what’s fair, and who decides? Between venue capacity, promoter games, and dynamic pricing, the math doesn’t add up for fans who’ve kept the flame alive for decades.

So we draw a line. No GoFundMe, no gifts, no guilt. Love the records, skip the show, and keep your dignity when the price tag feels like an insult. We close with a grin and a track that nails the mood—If You’re Gonna Be Dumb, You Gotta Be Tough—because resilience is the only encore that never gets old. If you’re into honest stories from the ring, real talk about live music value, and the kind of dad pride that sneaks up on you, press play, subscribe, and tell a mate. And if you’ve been priced out of a show you love, drop your take—what’s your breaking point?

Two threads weave through the hour: a playful review of a new Pokémon on Switch with Josh, and a raw love letter to thrash metal, presence, and growing a steadier life. We rank up, chase Mega Evolutions, hype an Anthrax tour, and land in the garden with calmer eyes.

• what the Z-to-F promotion jump feels like
• how challenge tickets and promotion matches shape pacing
• why Mega Evolutions still hit and which stones matter
• when online gates help or hurt casual players
• why Anthrax still deserves Big Four respect
• walking away from the YouTube grind for presence
• finding pride in garden beds and small projects
• choosing joy over rage and moving on

I am adding an anthrax song to the end of this, and it is called Fight 'em Till You Can't

Ever started a show by admitting you lost the plan? Same. We kick off with a messy, honest check-in, thank listeners from Melbourne to South Korea, and then wander into something real: how to stop fighting your brain and use simple tools to make life easier. Dave finally leans into Notes, Reminders, and Calendar, strips the iPhone of noise, and watches screen time drop. It’s not a tech flex; it’s about designing your inputs so your attention serves you, not the other way around.

From there, the energy spikes with a righteous rant about Christmas creep. Decorations on 1 November, ads everywhere, Mariah warming up in the distance — retail veterans know the dread. We unpack why seasonal overreach feels suffocating and how to push back without becoming a hermit: curate your feeds, mute the triggers, choose streaming wisely, and protect your headspace. The thread connects neatly to our earlier theme of intentional tech use and attention management.

Then we step between the ropes. Dave previews a no-rope barbed wire main event, remembers light tubes and scars, and sets a milestone that means something: keep refereeing until 50, making it half a lifetime in the ring. There’s grit and joy in choosing to stay where the work still matters, even when it bites back. If you’ve been juggling craft, chaos, and a calendar that keeps slipping, you’ll feel seen here.

Hit play for a mix of candid comedy, practical habit shifts, and a love letter to the strange communities that keep us showing up. If this landed with you, follow, share it with a friend, and drop a review — what’s one small change that actually made your life easier?

The night starts loud and a little chaotic: extra shifts, surprise appearances, and the kind of indie wrestling moments you truly can’t script. From a ringside twirl to a slap on the way out, we ride the energy of a BCW show that reminds us why small rooms and big hearts beat the glossy stuff every time. Then we look ahead to December’s no-rope barbed wire main event and the strange responsibility of being the calm centre when the ropes come down and the danger goes up.

Weekend ritual kicks in with Yarra Valley Oktoberfest, mates we only see once a year, and the annual trek that makes no sense and feels perfect anyway. There’s laughter, bad choices, and a sober truth about phones, drinks, and the calls you wish you didn’t make. It’s messy, it’s human, and it’s ours.

Then the tone shifts. We open up about Josh’s halted procedure, a follow-up that raised red flags, and the resolve to demand clarity before anyone picks up a scalpel again. It’s a raw look at parenting, consent, and the courage to say no when the plan feels wrong—especially when a kid’s face is still growing. Between a thoughtful birthday for Leanne and a heartfelt nod to Ace Frehley’s legacy, we tie humour to honesty and nostalgia to a fresh line in the sand.

If you’re here for grit, stories that bleed a little, and the reminder that advocacy starts with a single firm word, you’ll feel at home. Hit follow, share with a mate who loves wrestling or real talk, and leave a review to tell us where you’d draw the line.
