- The energy is right up from the get go in today’s episode and there was plenty of adventures from the latest Mates On A Mission program AKA pubs and playgrounds tour to recap. Benny has been going toe to toe with sheep in the main street, Ames has been chatting with the local cockatoo and the girls had every truck between Melbourne and Adelaide on the horn!
Ames has Christmas shopping hacks for us as the countdown to Christmas quickly dawns upon us, Ben is trying to remember scenes from movies that are blurry at best and there are plenty of random recommendations as always.
In ‘What caught your eye’ we dive into the types of people that don’t return their shopping trolley and don’t pick up their dog sh!#t with the conclusion being pretty simple don’t be a grub! Congratulations as well to Matt Morris who this week landed the million dollar barra in the NT, what a catch!
Enjoy Legends!

Benny is still suffering from a bit of post wedding pink eye as they recap a ripper weekend all round from mango margarita’s through to mid ceremony interruptions and just how much we love celebrating a good bit of love.
What caught your eye is back this week with on topic relationship quotes that Ames brings to the table, the mystery of the brown spa and the return of an iconic Aussie drama series in 2027!

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. - This one started with frozen face washers relieving Benny’s eye balls from the unrelenting pain thanks to his continual case of severe hay fever and ended up with him flying solo thanks to the beckoning call of sick kids!
There has never been more mowing done at Flying Blind HQ thanks to their newest family member, the Roborock robotic mower and it is a dead set game changer!
Benny was up in Brisbane over the weekend for the annual Get Yourself Checked charity gala and runs us through what was an amazing night to be involved with that raised $1 million for prostate cancer. After Ames gets called out Benny finishes with some upcoming events including another Ski For Life Mates On A Mission roadshow next week and an event we are pumped for, the Four Posts Jarklin Quick Shear on the 13th of November.
Last but not least, we hope that Benny’s sister Carls and Bayley have a fantastic wedding this weekend!

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. - It is third time lucky for Benny and Dan ‘Wardy' Ward as they had a couple of false starts before finally getting this chat in the book. Wardy brings unreal energy and has the story to match. He runs us through the moment he got hit by an out of control truck and the impact it has had on the rest of his life. The boys share tales of trekking Kokoda as Wardy is recently back from his first adventure to PNG, spotting different coloured cars and pumping out 30,000 push ups in 1 month. There is some great stuff in here for everyone around harnessing positive energy, strengthening your mindset and the importance of checking in on your own tyre pressure. Enjoy legends!

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. - Benny has just rolled back in from a very wet and muddy Deni Ute Muster and has definitely seen better days and Ames is pumped as the NRL Grand Final is on in the background as she cheers on her beloved Newcastle Knights while we record this week’s episode.
There’s been plenty happening over the past couple of week’s kicking off with a huge few days on the Gold Coast for Podcast Royale 3.0 with plenty of tales to tell from the hectic lead up, the fight night itself, the after party, a ripper Sunday sesh and so many highlights catching up with the legends that we got to meet! Ames nearly turned this into the Newcastle Knights Supporters Podcast as she had plenty of details about their history and success 25 years so the question is has she just jumped on the band wagon or does she really bleed red and blue? Benny has been line dancing, featuring in music videos and getting his boots muddy at Deni with plenty of mates.
Wrapping up this week, the fact October is Mental health month has caught our eye so make sure you do something to look after yourself and your mates this October because before we know it the silly season will be upon us. Enjoy legends.
