]]>This week, Patto and Hendo get stuck into:
💸 What's the Go? – The RBA delivers another interest rate rise while Albo jets off to the Caribbean. Who's really feeling the pinch, and is government spending making things worse?
🏆 Headline of the Week – Alice Springs' very own Ethan Brown wins the Melbourne Cup! Patto shares a few personal stories about the champion jockey, his remarkable comeback and what the win means for the Red Centre.
🏇 Unremarkable Rant – Melbourne Cup protesters are in Patto's firing line. But somehow a debate about horse racing turns into Hendo defending his views on religion, public holidays and whether he actually likes horses.
🏏 Around the Grounds – A bizarre WBBL finish, Australia's cricket woes in South Africa, the AFL headlines and a massive weekend of Supercross in Geelong.
🔮 Unremarkable Call – Rugby League World Cup predictions, the Sandown 500 and a few bold sporting calls.
Plenty of politics, plenty of sport and Hendo digging himself a hole he might never get out of.
Politics. Sport. Life. Mostly rubbish.

]]>Another week, another collection of political spending, sporting controversies and absolute rubbish from Patto and Hendo.
This week, the boys unpack Anthony Albanese's $6.5 million Marrickville Golf Club controversy, Chris Bowen's expensive climate conference in Fiji and the footage of the Minister apparently catching a few Zs.
Patto unleashes on the Bureau of Meteorology after another round of wild Alice Springs storms, questioning how the weather warnings can get it so wrong.
Around the Grounds, Hendo puts Cricket Australia's selectors on notice, calls for Cameron Bancroft's return and makes a big prediction about Marnus Labuschagne. Patto reviews the Cox Plate, looks ahead to the Melbourne Cup and attempts to find a winner.
Plus, the Phillip Island racing wash-up, a very unfortunate HYROX rule change and the possibility of an Unremarkable Bloke Christmas trip to get the snip.

]]>Seven episodes in and somehow nobody has told us to stop.
This week on The Unremarkable Bloke, Patto and Hendo are back with another dose of politics, sport and absolute nonsense.
We kick things off with a Victorian Premier forgetting to pay for petrol, just a week after Patto's $412 fuel rant. Coincidence? We think not.
Things take a more serious turn as we discuss the horrific incident involving federal MP Helen Haines, the increasing threats faced by politicians and Patto's own experiences during his time as Mayor.
Then there's the great luggage disaster. A trip to Alice Springs, a famous musician, a suitcase full of men's jocks and one very confused family.
The Unremarkable Rant takes aim at kids' birthday parties. Four-hour celebrations, extravagant setups and awkward conversations with parents you barely know. Whatever happened to fairy bread, party pies and a lolly bag?
Around the Grounds, we cover the Geelong Cup, Cox Plate, MotoGP, cricket and a few questionable racing predictions.
All that, plus a few technical difficulties that perfectly sum up this podcast.
Proudly supported by Alice Springs Brewing Co., Milner Meats, Social Media NT and Desert Dietitians.

]]>Patto and Hendo kick things off with the wild storms that battered Alice Springs and give a well-deserved shout-out to the locals and crews helping with the clean-up.
Then it's snakes in the Qantas Lounge, cat curfews in Western Australia and a trip down memory lane to when Patto suggested using goats to clean up the Todd River. What could possibly go wrong?
The boys also tackle the cost of living after Patto forks out a ridiculous $412 to fill up his ute.
This week's Unremarkable Rant gets a little more serious. As two former tradies, Patto and Hendo ask why young Australians aren't taking up apprenticeships, why so many aren't finishing their trades, and who's going to build the houses Australia desperately needs.
Around the Grounds covers the dramatic Bathurst finish, AFL trade winners and losers, cricket and rugby league, before the boys finish with a couple of bold Unremarkable Calls.
Plus, a shout-out to our sponsors Alice Springs Brewing Co., Milner Meats, Social Media NT and Desert Dietitians.
Plenty of laughs, a bit of politics and the usual carry-on.
🍻 Grab a beer and enjoy Episode 6 of The Unremarkable Bloke.

]]>We kick off with a Hyrox competitor having a very unfortunate mid-race incident, before asking whether Olympic rowers in Brisbane might literally be rowing for their lives with crocs in the Fitzroy River.
Then we get into the serious stuff — the proposed changes to DVA allied health funding, why veterans pushed back, and the Government’s decision to scrap the $5,000 treatment threshold.
The Unremarkable Rant takes aim at supermarket delis and one simple question: if I ask for 300 grams of ham, why the fuck are you giving me 450?
Around the Grounds, we wrap up the NFL’s massive Melbourne experiment, SuperMotocross, the NRL finals and the Brownlow, before finishing with a couple of bold Unremarkable Calls.
Plus plenty of Territorian Crisp, aged steak, questionable parenting and the usual amount of completely unnecessary carry-on.

]]>After an eight-week hiatus, Patto and Hendo finally get behind the microphones again — and there’s plenty to catch up on.
Patto gives an update on life with newborn twins, Hendo is forced to revisit one of his biggest calls from earlier in the year, and the boys dive back into politics, sport and the sort of headlines you probably shouldn’t take too seriously.
This episode:
After eight weeks away, there was a fair bit to get through.
Politics. Sport. Twins. Koalas. Pickles. And a school sign that has Patto far more worked up than it probably should.

Patto also delivers another Unremarkable Rant, taking aim at Netball Australia after thousands of fans missed out on the Super Netball Grand Final because of a venue scheduling decision.
Plus, the boys bring you their Headlines of the Week, head Around the Grounds to chat sport, make their Unremarkable Calls, and finish at The Noticeboard with listener poll results, comments and a laugh or two.

]]>From broken election promises and party infighting to politicians changing sides, the boys tackle the biggest political talking points of the week in the only way they know how — like two mates having a yarn over a beer.
Of course, it wouldn't be The Unremarkable Bloke without plenty of detours. There's AFL umpiring, State of Origin predictions, OnlyFans jokes, twins on the way, and a story about an AFL player discovering his new teammate once abused him on Instagram.
It's politics, sport, life... and mostly rubbish.

]]>In the very first episode, Patto and Hendo kick things off with a conversation that goes everywhere. From Australian politics and the sporting stories of the week to babies, beer, motocross and why soccer might just be the world's most overrated sport.
Before they even hit record, everything that could have gone wrong... did. So if you're hearing this, that's already a win.
It's honest, unfiltered, occasionally insightful, and mostly just two mates talking rubbish.

With guests, honest opinions and plenty of laughs, The Unremarkable Bloke doesn't pretend to have all the answers. There are no scripts, no nonsense and no taking ourselves too seriously.
Just real conversations about the remarkable, the ridiculous and everything in between.
