Rd.7's episode features a rare and wonderful conversation with "An old fashioned operator with a gargantuan leg break" - the enigmatic cricket legend Stuart Macgill - or "Fondue Stu" as he dubbed himself mid-episode. They discuss Warney, Advanced Hair, cheap wickets, New Order, Viv Richards, the Fat Shaming ACB, Wests Tigers Thongs (bought with Afterpay), Curtley Ambrose, abject fear and Brian Lara (nickname - "Brian.") Back on familiar NRL turf - our hosts revisit last years hot topic -...

After the completion of Rd.6 our hosts concern themselves with questions of team balance, the intense caffeination of some players, hat tricks, Victor Radley's football IQ and introduce a new segment "The End of Dog Days." They also discuss whether Taylor Swift will EVER manage to keep a man, Brett Stewart's penchant for La Peruvian, and in their Rugby League Biology weekly segment, the phenomenon of grub on grub and The Grub Code. And of course much, much more.... If you read this far and...

Sometimes the minutiae of life warrants the greatest attention, and maybe that's the case this week as Latrell's prized heifers - "Talking Dirty" and "Quartz" - are front and foremost in our host's minds, along with the seismic implications of Joseph "The Technicolour Dreamcoat" Suaalii's defection to a dwindling, if even existent? alternative football code.  We also introduce a brand new segment - "Rugby League Biology" - which feels like it will be essential listening for all students of...

Round 4 of the NRL finds our hosts with their heads in their hands, asking the big questions - "What is the price of fandom?" "Is the cost simply too much?" "Are South Sydney really more like a religion than a football club?" "What the hell does Atlassian actually do????" "What is loyalty when there is a Joseph Suaalii muddying the moral waters?" "What did Hook's meagre 39 word press conference mean, if anything?" "What is the best cult to join?" For the answers to ALL of these profound...

This week’s show welcomes special guest Rick Grossman to the Fire Up! Panel.

Round 2 of the NRL Season, the appearance of Albo on the world stage and an impending NSW Election finds our hosts waxing lyrical about the geopolitical implications of the NRL and code expansion, infrastructure issues, Stadiums, catering and the all round Game Day Experience! Biden, Modi, Mao Tse Tung and the Australian Defence Force all get a look in, as do David Bowie, Stevie Nicks, Chris Rock and Weird Al. In other issues, obviously Blake Ferguson's nasal issues require a thorough going...

Hosts Stephen Ferris & Kris Gale are back in 2023 with the long running Fire Up! show (formerly of FBI Radio) that dives WAY too deep into the absurdities, minutiae, atrocities and huuuuge personalities in the NRL Universe, featuring regular guests and a perfunctory, random and opinionated weekly analysis of every round’s games.    This week's discussion centres on "Wellness" and it's increasingly pervasive role in the Greatest Game Of All. The NEW NRL Coaches - Bennett, Ciraldo,...
