  • Eating what you like, while training with Ruby Roylance (Australian Physique Coach)
    May 6 2025

    In this episode, the guys sit down with Ruby Roylance, an Australian physique coach, to dive into her journey through fitness, food, and competition prep.


    Ruby shares her love hate relationship with food, spending hundreds on desserts after competitions and how she transitioned her mindset of food around bodybuilding.


    She opens up about the complexities of competition prep, the discipline required to build a winning physique, and how the culture around food and body image impacts both everyday clients and athletes.


    The crew discusses their own fitness routines (or lack thereof), how social media affects gym culture, and the balance between enjoying food and chasing physical goals.

    With insights into macros, muscle, motivation—and yes, cravings—this episode blends humour with hustle as Ruby breaks down the realities behind shredded physiques and sustainable performance.

  • How Bae Juice Became Australia's Favourite Recovery Drink!
    Apr 29 2025

    This week, we’re joined by the legends behind Bae Juice — Tim and Liam — the duo responsible for the hangover hack Aussies swear by.


    Bae Juice is a 100% natural Korean pear juice that’s been quietly helping people feel better since 2019. We get into how the idea was born (with a little help from Tim’s girlfriend), the long road from concept to shelf, and what it’s like running a product-based business in Australia.


    We also chat about the unique way they farm pears in Korea, the boys share some wild social media stories, and whether Bae Juice actually lets you drink more.


    Plus, the usual chaos with guilty food pleasures, dream fast food, and the age-old Greek vs Italian question.


    And the boys may reveal a sneak peek at their new upcoming product.
