Could NRL Stars Go ELITE in America? + We Need to Talk About Matiu

We went there. Again. This week Josiah and Matiu are asking the question nobody really thinks about but everyone should — if our NRL stars grew up in America, would they be elite? Like actually elite. We're talking names, positions, the whole thing. It gets heated.Then Josiah puts Matiu's music taste to the test. Wedding edition. We'll just say this: there were some choices made. You'll have to listen to find out if he passed or got cooked. And to close it out, we get into something that's been on our mind — should Netflix have a comments section? Sounds simple. It's not. We had way too much to say about it.Honestly, one of those episodes where we sat down with no plan and just went for it. Those are always the best ones. If you're new here — welcome to the shed. We talk sport, culture, life, and whatever's on our minds that week. It's not polished. It's not perfect. But it's always real.Like, comment, subscribe if you rock with us. It actually makes a difference, for real. Josiah & Matiu 🎙️#TalkingShedPodcast #NRL #NRLvsNFL #AmericanSports #NetflixDebate #PopCulture #podcast #Polynesian #SportsTalk #TalkingShed

What’s worse…reading your partners Diary or Phone?

This episode has everything. We kick things off with a bizarre café encounter that left us questioning whether we were in a coffee shop or a fever dream. From awkward interactions to downright strange behaviour, we break down one of the freakiest café experiences we've ever had. We then dive into all things State of Origin, discussing the biggest moments, key matchups, bold predictions, and what makes Origin unlike anything else in Australian sport. Finally, we tackle a relationship dilemma guaranteed to start arguments: what's worse — reading your partner's diary or going through their phone? One is a breach of privacy, the other could reveal everything. We debate where the line is and put ourselves in the hot seat. Strange café stories, Origin banter, and a controversial relationship debate — this one's a ripper. 🎧🔥🏉📱

Michael Jackson: The King, The Movie & The Legacy

EP 51 – Michael Jackson: The King, The Movie & The Legacy Michael has finally dropped, and Josiah & Matiu are breaking it all down. We talk through the film, where it ranks among the best music biopics, and whether it really captures Michael Jackson as both an artist and a person. We also get into why MJ’s level of fame has never been matched, and probably never will be, plus Gary Vaynerchuk’s take on why no one today comes close. Talking Shed; sports, pop culture, and real conversations. Short, sharp, and straight from the shed.
