Hi guys - I really love your podcast. However, recently I’ve noticed that you are using a lot more “colourful” language. I listen to your pod with a young nephew and the expletives are just not appropriate. Can you please use “cleaner” language otherwise, sadly, I’ll have to stop listening. You guys don’t need the bad language. You are hilarious without it.

Regards,
KD

Episode 15 Home Game in Turkmenistan

The linking of movies & tv Shows to AFL Teams was not only very cleverly done but also hilarious. Found it hard to argue against the pairing. Blues and Monty Payton perfect. Thank you guys for the company on my walks through another lockdown in Melbourne.
