After the toppling and subsequent retirement of Liberal leader Sussan Ley, the hotly contested byelection in the seat of Farrer is seen as a litmus test for the newly led Liberals, the surging One Nation and the emboldened Nationals.

Clancy and Errol speak to Independent candidate Michelle Milthorpe, who narrowly lost to Ley in the 2025 election. She discusses the issues facing the electorate under previous governments such as water management and lack of medical access, as well as the threat of One Nation, plus her own personal experiences that led her to politics.

This week Clancy, Errol and Wendell turn their attention to the only sensible way to launch a rugby league season. By shipping it 12,000 kilometres across the Pacific and hoping Americans finally understand what a forward pass is. With the 2026 NRL season kicking off in Las Vegas, the show previews the year ahead. The contenders, the pretenders, the coaches already under pressure and the annual question of whether this is finally the Warriors’ year.

Thankfully, Fox League host and one of the game’s sharpest minds, Yvonne Sampson, joins the show to unpack Vegas Round, the shifting power dynamics across the competition, the young stars ready to launch and the veterans wondering if it's time to join the London Broncos. From expansion chat to premiership windows and which fanbase is most likely to implode by Easter, this is your unofficial and entirely unqualified guide to the 2026 NRL season.

Get around it before your club is mathematically eliminated by May.

This week Clancy and Errol attempt to finally answer a question that has plagued Australians for generations: what’s the go with New Zealand? From their polite accents and suspiciously competent rugby teams to their intense loyalty to provincial towns nobody here has heard of, this episode unpacks our strange cousins across the ditch. Thankfully, Kiwi comedian and New Zealand Today creator Guy Williams drops in to explain the cultural quirks, small-town politics, tall poppy syndrome and national psyche of Aotearoa... and why Australians still somehow don’t quite get it.
