Chunk, Shank, Repeat: Golf Regrets and The Origin Decider

We’re back for another wildly underqualified episode, and Matt is in full golf life crisis mode. Kicking things off with a painfully detailed recount of his Sunday shank-fest at Burleigh, Matt takes us through the highs (pipe down the fairway, miracle pars) and the very lows (chunked wedges, bent clubs, existential dread). The verdict? It’s time to buy new gear and maybe, just maybe, retire (again). Greg laughs the whole way through because, well, how could you not?

Once the 60-degree therapy session wraps, it’s on to what really matters: Rugby League and the spicy build-up to Origin Game 3. The boys dive into the Broncos’ four-game streak, Ben Hunt’s return, and the long-awaited debut of Brisbane’s preferred spine. Greg drops a brutal stat bomb for Titans fans, and Matt finally admits the Raiders are… actually hard to hate.

They break down the Bulldogs’ implosion, Des Hasler’s soft exit, and the mess that is Flanagan coaching Flanagan. Matt and Greg also talk nepotism in the NRL, from Walters to Cleary, and whether coaching your kid ever ends well (spoiler: it usually doesn’t).
Then it’s time for Origin chat: can New South Wales finally get it together? Will Queensland do what they always do and ruin it for everyone? Why does no one seem excited about this series? They preview the decider, name their X-factors (hello, Shi-stache!), and even manage to tip the weekend’s NRL games.

From golf grief and gear upgrades to rugby league rants and Origin predictions, this one’s got everything—plus a new podcast low in wedge-related PTSD.
