    Bali Hair Horrors & Camping Fails

    Shane and Dean kick things off with a wild recap of a recent trip to Bali that didn't go quite to plan—especially for Dean’s hair. We dive into the "painful" reality of getting dreadlocks done overseas, the struggle of maintaining them, and the search for miracle hair products. Plus, the boys discuss the recent FJ Cruiser convoy trip to Cervantes, gear failures, heated chair mishaps, and the ultimate camping "first night f**k-ups."

    Bali Nannys & The Hunt For A Cold Bintang

    This week on the Blokethings Podcast, Shane & Dean are back to unpack the absolute carnage of family obligations. We’re diving deep into the realities of taking the kids to Bali—from the hunt for a Bintang that isn't bathwater-warm, to offloading the kids to the au pair, to surviving the absolute stitch-up that is the indoor go-kart fast lane. Then, we pivot back to WA for a Mother's Day lunch in Forrestfield that nearly ended in a brawl thanks to an overbooked restaurant and one incredibly obnoxious bloke. Grab a cold one (preferably not $22) and rip in. In This Episode, We Cover: Kids Being Kids: The joys of parenthood, including why the backyard is fair game but the kindy lawn is not. The Bali Survival Guide: Tackling the airport run, the truth about the Hard Rock Hotel, and why a digital au pair (an iPad) is a parent's best friend. Food Fails & Wins: Overcooked brisket at the "Fork", the glory of a perfect steak at Yellowstone, and why Bali KFC just hits different. The Bintang Index: The eternal struggle of finding a frosty beer in Kuta without paying resort prices, and the absolute beauty of a $2.50 bucket beer at Blue Lagoon. Mother’s Day Carnage: Navigating a crammed Italian restaurant in Forrestfield, putting up with whinging diners, and planning a tactical retreat from family functions. Bike Banter: Wrapping up with some thoughts on brand loyalty and why a new Indian motorcycle might just be an "electric bike." Here are a few quote options pulled straight from the episode, They perfectly capture the banter, chaos, and absolute frustration of the stories: "You can't control them at your house... How do you think you're gonna control them on a plane? That's why I had zap collars on them." "Let's take the kids to go and get them used to Bali and dump them on someone else's lap. That's what you did. Gun good story." "He can't [swim]. He thinks he can, but he can't, he can drown. He can sink really well. She's a fish, he's a boat anchor." "I knew that I was gonna be on Bintang... so the f*****g diet's going out the window. No f***s given." "You got to accept Bali for what it is... It's tropical, you can have some f*****g cold beers and be f*****g cheap." "I've got a list of places I want to try barbecue... Come out, it was f*****g dog shit. All overcooked... I was like f*****g over it." "Probably one of the highlights of Bali... was f*****g bomb like proper. Proper like it used to be. Crispy f*****g KFC." "Read the room you f******d... I don't think you understand, like this guy's ruining everyone else's day in the whole place... Why can't I do it back to him?" "Don't be a f*****g miserable c**t, ruin the whole f*****g place's Mother's Day. They're doing their best. They're overbooked. They didn't choose that." "You know what the worst part is? He's done the brand recognition. Guess what shirt he had on? An Indian t-shirt... If you're listening, your wife would be much happier if you ride a Harley, mate. Not an electric bike."

    Fistfights, Pissy Puddles & Proud Dad Moments

    Welcome back to another beautifully chaotic round of the Blokethings podcast! This week, the boys are swapping some highly questionable "proud dad moments" that perfectly capture the absolute rollercoaster of raising kids. Shane breaks down a wild 24 hours involving teenage schoolyard brawls, ER visits, multiple suspensions, and a buggy rollover. Meanwhile, Dean on the younger side of parenting, we hear about the genius of bribing your kids to clean up dog shit for Bali pocket money—and the sheer, exhausting defeat of watching your son take a leak directly on the patio. It’s one step forward, two steps back, and a whole lot of laughs. The High School Rumble: Shane gets the dreaded "don't freak out" phone call. Find out how a petty photo turned into a full-blown schoolyard brawl, ending with the sisters backing each other up ("one in, all in") and catching multiple days of suspension. The Buggy Rollover: Because a fistfight wasn't enough for one week, Shane’s oldest daughter survives a buggy crash while living her best life in "passenger princess mode." The Bali Hustle: How to successfully outsource your yard work. A six-year-old learns the value of a dollar (and the art of delegation) by cleaning up dog shit for holiday cash. The Pissy Puddle: The ultimate moment of parental defeat. What goes through Dean's mind when his youngest son decides the patio is a toilet—and then uses it like a muddy puddle. Memorable Quotes from the Episode: "F**k around, find out, and they found out." "Are you okay, Crash Bandicoot?" "If you don't take that photo, none of this starts. Actions have consequences." "He's using it as a puddle... A pissy puddle." Next time on Blokethings: The boys will be recapping their FJ Cruiser run and the family trip to Bali!

    The Dick Mark, Feral Nicknames and Cousin Steve's 70th

    Welcome back to another episode of Blokethings! This week, the boys are completely off the rails. We kick things off with a highly questionable facial injury courtesy of the jiu-jitsu mats before diving headfirst into the origin stories of some of the most feral nicknames we’ve ever heard (shoutout to "Cheesegrater" and "Squid"). Then, we recap the absolute stitch-up that was Cousin Steve’s 70th birthday camping trip down at White Hills. From 4WD navigational disasters and FJ Cruiser crawl-control flexing, to sinking rums until 4:30 AM and enduring the 3-day hangover from hell, this trip had it all. Grab a beer (unless you're still recovering like us) and get into it! The Jiu-Jitsu Injury: Explaining a suspiciously placed friction burn to the HR department and why the gi jacket is basically a weapon. Top-Tier Nicknames: How a legendary Kelmscott local earned the name "Cheesegrater", dodging the nickname "Sausage" to become "Predator", and the 5-year delayed realization that "Callum Murray" sounds exactly like "Calamari" (hey, Squid!). Navigational Nightmares: Getting hopelessly lost via Google Maps, ending up at Preston Beach, and reluctantly saving a stranded 200 Series driver using the trusty rail gun. 4WD Flexing: Putting the FJ Cruiser’s crawl control to the test on soft sand and blowing minds without touching the pedals. Cousin Steve’s 70th: A masterclass in overpacking, Bush Company awnings, Ozbraai setups, and the young blokes going way too hard on the Captain Morgan. The Morning After: Waking up like zombies on 2 hours of sleep, throwing up in the sand, and the brutal, traffic-jammed drive home (always take the Charles Street exit!). 💡 Quote of the Episode"I said, if Dean and Phil can do this with the tarp from the top of the dunes all the way down, we can do better with two Bush Company awnings."

    DIY Campers, Learning Chinese & The Uber Ride from Hell

    Shane and Dean are back in the studio to recap a wildly chaotic week. Dean is burnt out from the demands of his new job and avoiding Jiu-Jitsu, but he's making up for it by trading questionable Aussie slang and Chinese translations with his coworkers (while trying to dodge HR). Shane breaks down his new DIY camper trailer project—converting an old MDC Jackson forward-fold—which nearly resulted in a lethal gas strut accident and a paper wasp attack. But the real meat of the episode is the boys' attempt to get fitted for Bali wedding suits in Midland, which violently derailed into a massive 10-pint Sunday session, a highly questionable Uber ride, and a Monday morning hangover filled with chicken burger regrets.In This Episode, We Cover:Work Stress & Cultural Exchange: Dea vents about his new job, doing god knows what, and the hilarious (and potentially HR-violating) cultural exchange of teaching his Chinese coworker dirty Aussie slang.The DIY Camper Trailer Project: Shane explains his plan to rip the tent off a high-walled camper trailer to mount a Kings rooftop tent and 1300mm drawers. Plus, the absolute danger of heavy-duty gas struts and cutting into a trailer frame full of angry paper wasps while wearing thongs.The Midland Suit Fitting: Rounding up the lads for beach-themed wedding suits, dealing with Ricky the "Mystery Man" showing up late, and the absolute sticker shock of a $800 shoe and sock bill.The Sunday Bender: What was supposed to be a quick trip to the pub turns into a massive 10-pint session at the Midland Tavern, complete with live bands and revving up the local pensioners.The Aftermath: A blind Uber ride home, starfishing on the bed by 6:30 PM, surviving off Carnival Central lollies, and Dean waking up in a panic wondering if he actually cooked the chicken he fed his kids.Notable Quotes:"I'm looking to get in, out, pub as quick as possible so the missus doesn't know.""Here I am, running around in shorts and thongs... as I'm cutting the thing, there's a huge nest of paper wasps in there. Almost died.""I was starting to think there in the bed. I was like, did I feed the kids? Was the chicken cooked? Are they eating raw chicken?"

    Hungover Dawn Services, $10 Smokers, and Chasing 12V Gremlins

    Shane and Dean are back behind the mics (with some slick new equipment) to recap a massive, chaotic Anzac long weekend. From navigating the genuine hazards of vacuum-sealed mattresses to questionable decisions involving rum and early morning motorcycle rides to the Dawn Service, the boys cover it all. Plus, we get a massive update on the FJ Cruiser’s 12V and awning build, and a revolutionary (if highly questionable) new way to season a tomahawk steak using power tools. In This Episode, We Cover: Hazardous Homewares & Crazy News: The boys kick off with the hidden dangers of auto-rolling bed-in-a-box mattresses and react to a wild news story about a domestic dispute involving a jerry can and a lit cigarette. The FJ Cruiser 12V Overhaul: A deep dive into tearing apart the FJ’s dash to fix some questionable old wiring. We talk upgrading the UHF to the new XRS 335 (and the need for dual aerial symmetry), wiring up the 105Ah lithium battery, setting up the Victron Orion DC-DC and smart shunt to run the 60L Kings fridge full-time, and swapping the 270 awning to the right-hand side to suit the rear door. Anzac Weekend Chaos: Surviving a rough first week at a new job by getting into the Captain Morgan, leading to a severely hungover, freezing-cold morning motorcycle ride to the Blackboy Hill Dawn Service, followed by pints at the Midland Tavern. Shed Demo & The $10 Smoker: Tearing down Phil's shed with ringing ears and zero prep, then firing up a $10 Bunnings offset smoker salvaged from the tip. Plus, the ultimate BBQ hack: seasoning a Spud Shed tomahawk steak using a Milwaukee leaf blower. Gear Swaps & Mates: Catching up with Brett and Tegz, passing on the "Go Further" battery box to power the Y62 & the MU-X, handing out some old two-ways, and a shoutout to Benny for dropping off the new hats. Notable Quotes: "You cut it out of the bag and it was like being a terrorist. It just f*****g boom... I almost got me nose rearranged." "If you go to a party, you take your six-pack, you take a carton, you put it in the fridge, and you just leave it there, mate. Once you leave, that's not yours." "We went through a whole thing of seasoning a tomahawk steak with the Milwaukee blower. We laughed the whole way through."

    Dean's Toybox: Boobie Radios and Branding Irons

    After a brief hiatus (thanks to new job responsibilities and general life chaos), Shane and Dean are back in the studio with the mics hot—even if they didn't realize they were recording. This week, the boys tackle the hard-hitting issues: the absolute pointlessness of body spray, the logistics of a proper shower routine, and the rules of pub carbs. Plus, we crack open "Dean's Toybox" to unearth some questionable souvenirs from a chaotic 2008 trip to Thailand and a legendary swap meet find. In This Episode, We Cover: Beer Snobbery & Pub Rules: Real beer vs. shit beer, leaving tribute cans in the fridge, and why carbs simply do not exist when you cross the threshold of a pub. The Body Spray Blunder: The boys dissect the absolute panic of going into a formal office job interview wearing chinos, natural deodorant, and "body spray" that does absolutely nothing to stop the sweat. Shower Protocols: Top to bottom or bottom to top? Shane and Dean debate the correct order of operations in the shower, the dangers of bar soap, and why buying a suction-cup back scrubber is a terrible idea. Thailand '08 Reminiscing: Surviving Bangla Road, giant novelty Zippos, ping pong shows, and the brilliant (read: terrible) idea of branding a butt cheek with a red-hot padlock and a pair of hotel ice tongs. Dean's Toybox: Unearthing a wooden novelty bottle opener and the crown jewel of the Guilford Swap Meet: a fully functional, boobie-shaped AM/FM radio. 90s Movie Nostalgia: Reminiscing about staying up late to watch the classic cake-pop out scene in Under Siege and the three-breasted woman in Total Recall. Notable Quotes: "There’s no such thing as carbs when you go to the pub." "I was standing underneath the aircon flat out... just arms up one at a time. Trying not to sweat. I'm panicking trying to remember my own name." "What’s the point of having a body spray? We’ve already got cologne... I’m a Brut guy."
