Fire Up! – Details, episodes & analysis

Season's Greetings to all Fire Up! Listeners, we've put together a little "Best Of" to commemorate another year of inane blatherings about the NRL in all its glory....and it's many atrocities! Thanks again to all the guests who appeared on the show this year, as well as the Production team (Mash Ferris and Josh Beagley) and Andrew Gordon from Personal Best Media.

Here's looking forward to another wild ride in 2025, cya on the other side.

We're joined this week by Dave Ray who has a nose for a story and a deeply held affection for the Canberra Raiders. He has also sat next to Tigers supremo, Shane Richardson, during a game at Leichhardt this year and lived to tell the tale.

We discuss everything from Nathan Cleary's Rexona commercial to Nibbler Flanagan and the Trbojevic Tricksters.

And much, much more!

Things were a little existential and spiritual in the Fire Up! studios this week, as our hosts discussed exhumations, Creationism, Life Coaches and St. Jerome of Latimore.

STGI's epochal victory against the Storm is discussed, along with The Prophet Of Belmore, Coaching Jocularity and DJ Otsi.

We get a great new track from Denis Carnahan celebrating Papaalii's 300th, and as always, MUCH, MUCH more.

Tune in to tune out.

With the Olympics and Rugby League coalescing this week our hosts have adopted the Spirit of Revolution and are "Mad as hell and not going to take it anymore!" They discuss overturning the RL Class system and "The Big Walk" at the Tigers, along with St George getting "Nathanised" on the weekend.

They spend some time talking about ways to "Fix" Rugby League let's just say that the brilliant ideas abound.

Add in a song from Denis Carnahan and you have quite a show.

Tune in to tune out.

Still basking in the victorious afterglow of Origin III, this week our Blueslander hosts are joined by Matt Rule, promoter of the upcoming "Beer, Food & Footy" Festival held annually at Newtown Oval, to discuss what happens on the day, the promising future of the Jets, the freeform Jazz improv performance of ref Ashley Klein, the Luai Hustle, The Bulldog "Hustlers", Trumpian Robbo and much much more.

Please let us know your thoughts and we'll see you at the festival!

In the lead up to the massive Origin III Decider we have the inestimable Vonnie Sampson from Fox Footy join us to discuss Mankinis, Possums, Fred Zeppelin, Police Escorts, The "Caco", Schnapps for breakfast, Navel Gazing and Regurgitator in a box.

And some footy.

Listen in for all the good goss.

And tell your friends please, we need some more listeners!

Unfortunately we've had to cancel this week's episode due to a Personal Injury Mishap to one of our hosts.

Back next week!

We wrap up all the important news to come out of Round 17 and State Of Origin II, trying to make sense of 90,000 confused Melburnians, Ashley Klein's need to be liked, Billy Slater's private video room and all the Sin Bin confusion. Sticky "Dials In" again and we live in fear of The Rise Of The Robots.

All this and much much more!!!

On the eve of Origin II our hosts bemoan the absence of genuine nude streakers these days, talk up "Little Guys" with Vossy and Brandy, discuss the importance of having "Mitchell's" in your team and worry about Stephen Crichton's burgeoning handshake repertoire.

All this and a severely inadequate preview of the big game. 

With a new tune from Denis Carnahan and as always much much more!
