Sorry viewers! Another longer one again, but we've had worse.....this one coming in on pretty much the hour mark, good for listening to to pass the time at the hairdressers, vineyards, and elephant section of the zoo. We have a lot to catch up on in the form of covid infections, final league standings of stage 1 of the Wellington Leagues, and the start to Stage 2, but we still have time for Birthdays, Ryan Fibbs in the form of Footballer and Manager quotes, Statman, a new section covering the...

At 70 odd minutes its a biggie, but that such was the bantz that we even had to trim 20 minutes off that! Enjoy, loyal viewers, no matter which part of America you are listening from! 

We are BACK! Due to at least two people asking where we had been, we decided to get cracking again, meaning we have THREE games to catch up on.....but fear not, we mainly concentrate on the last of them. Our guest is none other than Piers 'The Wall' Wall, and he discusses his football and even rugby history, and we find that his past acquaintances aren't all that memorable to him.

*NOTE* - We had MORE technical issues with this episode, namely I think our guest MATHEW SALT'S mic wasn't on/was pulled out by Ted the cat, so YES it sounds like rubbish but what do you want for free?? A MEDITATING HAIRBRUSH?!? Also, it is Al's first blast at editing, so go easy on us, yeah? What, MORE bad news? There is no IBUniverse, so silliness haters, rejoice! But silly lovers....don your excavation equipment, coz it can still be found here! GOOD news for football and Island Bay...

We are back! Except, we are not! Why? Because Allen isn't here! He took a sabbatical, and instead our featured guest took on some presenting duties. Who is the featured guest you bellow?! Why, it is Richard Geddes, Alts Super-Sub Extraordinaire and star of Episode 7's IBUniverse who needed soothing from his Mackem friend through the medium of rap because he was worried about the perps who stole his shoes coming to get him, of course! In a lengthy but (honestly) simply fantastic interview, we...

A fresh new shortened style with the usual mockery and blue language while Al and James discuss the weekends results with a small but lovely studio audience. In the first edition of Bad Sharks Lite we relive a famous JJ's game from the past, learn about Declan's laundry tactics and have an indepth discussion about how James feels about divisions. A little sprinkle of eloquence is added by Richards excellent two-line poem about his trip to Masterton.
