We're back mofos. T had COVID, Adzo bought a house, Phil is making it rain. What a summer. And here's something new - using OpenAI to write these episode descriptions for us. Here's one using the 'recipe' bot:

Freed Man Pod S3E1 Key Ingredients:

• Ukraine
• Taco Bell
• Comebacks
• Boomerangs
• Vladimir Putin
• Melbourne
• Anger
• Jared Hayne
• Phil Mickelson

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to Freed Man Pod temperature (375 degrees).

2. Meanwhile, head to your local Taco Bell and order a few dozen Comebacks.

3. Back at home, spread the Comebacks out on a baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes.

4. While the Comebacks are baking, heat up some oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat with a side of Ukraine.

5. Add the Boomerangs to the skillet and cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side.

6. Once everything is cooked, assemble the Freed Man Pod by placing the Comebacks in the centre of a large plate, surrounding them with the Boomerangs and Putin.

7. Serve with a side of Anger, Melbourne Airport adventures and a few slices of Jared Hayne.

8. Enjoy!

December 23, Episode 36: A Very PHAT Team Xmas!

We're clocking off for the year - taking a break for the holidays in our favourite place in the world: Queensland! - and we'll be back for Season 3 on Australia Day.

 

In the meantime, here's our Xmas special, featuring fun Xmas countdowns, the drinking of Bacchus Brewing Advent Calendar mystery beer and a whole new segment: News.com.au is Making Us Dumber.

 

Thank you everyone for all of your support and advice over the past year - stay Omicron safe and we'll see you in 2022, unless we all die from some horrible contagious disease...but what's the odds of that huh?!

 

Love ya,

The PHAT Team

December 16, Episode 35: Happy Hannukah Homies!

So listen. Whatever. So we're still a week behind in our release. Like you read this anyway. On the PLUS side, it means that our Xmas special - which we recorded the week before Xmas - will be released the week OF Xmas. How awesome is that?! Chag Urim Sameach!

November 30, Episode 34: The Best Spinoffs, brought to you by Omicron!

We're gonna be honest with you. T forgot to publish this ep from last week and can't quite remember what we talked about, but we know it had to do with spinoffs and things that spin. So there you go. And our Hold My Beer was not even a beer but a spinoff/variant of Jack Daniels (in keeping with the spinoff theme). So again, there you go. Strap in!

Bacchus Brewing Series Week 5: Superfecta-expi-ala-delicious!

Our final in a series of specials focusing on some of Brisbane-based Bacchus Brewing delights.

We've had a lot of fun drinking some fun beers, and we're finishing it off with some sweet sweet goodness that Tristan has been looking forward to for an eternity after the darkness of the Imperial Soured Smoky Stouts [shudders]. We're talking the Superfecta TDH Hazy IPA & the RocknRoada Pastry Stout.

And because a 'superfecta' is picking the first four in racing, an RockNRolla came out in 2008, we're counting down our top 4 things from 2008. Yep. It's a stretch, but we's love it yo.

Ep 31: THE BAND IS BACK TOGETHER BABY!

Oh yes. After months and months, the PHAT Team is back together in person again, coming to you live (read: not live) from our Banksia studio. We've already cracked open a few beers before the record, so it's a little loose, but hey, lockdown is over, COVID is over apparently according to No Con Dom, and we enjoying each other's scent again.

Vin Diesel makes an appearance, we celebrate all the frontline workers, Italy has banned Godfathers for some reason, AFL a$$hole Jordan de Goey is up to no good again, Phil has a political rant...and so much more. It's a packed episode and it's also Halloween, so it's a good time.

And for your Hold My Beer hit as well as our countdown of our "Top 3 ghosts (including Phil's top 3 Pac-Man ghosts), check out our ep released on November 3.

• Intro & Feats of Manliness (00:21-11:47)
• Hero & Dad Joke of the Week (11:54-23:04)
• It's a Bad Week To Be (23:16-37:13)
• You're F!&kin' Kiddin', Right? (37:25-48:13)
• Chappy Asks (48:41-55:58)

Bacchus Brewing Series Week 4: Happy Haze-oween!

The fourth of a series of specials focusing on some of Brisbane-based Bacchus Brewing delights.

The band is back together again finally now that lockdown is over - just in time for Halloween - and to celebrate, we're enjoying the sweet nectar of freedom found in a can of Dmango Unstrained Mango Hazy Style NEIPA. And we're celebrating Halloween by pounding down the surprisingly drinkable Winston's Eleven Five Cascadian Dark Ale.

So in honour of Winston from Ghostbusters it only seems natural to countdown our favourite ghosts in film and TV, while Phil, er, counts down his favourite Pac-man ghosts. Yeah...

Bacchus Brewing Series Week 3: The Kings Gambit

The third of a series of specials focusing on some of Brisbane-based Bacchus Brewing delights.

This week we're a man down as Phil is battling a case of the man-flu (NOT COVID we believe), so Adzo and T try to man it up by drinking two very heavy, full-on brews: The Mongrel King Soured Imperial Stout & the King of Denmark 2018 Olde English Stock Ale.

And of course, we counted down our favourite Kings while doing it.

Ep 30: A Danish conceptual artist is more hero than Gladys, it‘s a bad week to be on the Squid Game speed dial and Sisqo was the Watford manager?!

Happy Labour Day friends! Hopefully our last week in lockdown and last ep recorded in our online bubble.

This week our Feats of Manliness has Phil's beard more glorious than ever, TD is more dad than he ever was and Adz learns a little life lesson from his daughter. Gladys, those pesky Pandora journos and a Danish artist top our hero lists. We somehow missed Cisco/Sisqo/Whatever was the manager of Watford and Rabbitohs fans were left fuming in You're F-ing Kidding Right?, It's a Bad Week To Be Korean residents if you share the same number as Squid Game contestants, or Atlantic salmon even. And we wrap things up with a great Chappy Asks.

And for your Hold My Beer hit as well as our countdown of our "Top 3 Scots we'd like to survive the nuclear winter with", check out our ep released on October 5.

• Intro & Feats of Manliness (00:20-12:15)
