We're two professional rugby players from New Zealand giving insight into rugby players everyday lives. Alongside our guests we'll be sharing funny stories, banter and insight that you'll never otherwise get to see through the mainstream media.
Brad Weber & Michael Allardice
We catch up with Brodie Retallick and get insight into how he went from schoolboy unknown to world class in just a few year, what makes the big Guzzler tick, getting his Jeep stolen from his house and an epic End of Year Tour story you won't want to miss. Recorded on the day the All Blacks team was due to be named, get an insight into how much Brodie & Webby knew about whether they were going to be named.
Code Trippin is back! Recorded in Dunedin, Part 1 with Angus Ta'avao is all our general chat and banter. We talk Third wheeling a honeymoon, how an American style draft system could work for NZ Rugby, Dunedin flats & the newly created Critical Thinking group in the Chiefs.
Part 2 of our Angus Ta'avao catch up sees us talk all things Game of Thrones! We put together our very own Thrones XV Rugby team. Then later we discuss the latest season and the "whats up with that?" moments we had issues with.
We caught up with Liam Messam & Michael Leitch before they took off to France & Japan. Some great banter between the two of them as we talk of their differing childhoods, conspiracy theories, Leitchy's god-like status in Japan, weird recovery methods and Liam's memories as the greatest Chiefs player of all time.
Recorded in Durban, South Africa, the Code Trippin boys sit down with the Canadian hunk and first Canadian to play for an NZ Super Rugby team, Tyler Ardron. We dive deep into his interesting journey to becoming a professional rugby player as well as some interesting stories from growing up in Canada to his fraternity type set up at his university and now being settled in New Zealand. We also give an update on the win a date with Damian McKenzie competition and we read out a couple of our favourite entries.
On tour in Tokyo, Japan with Sam Cane & Angus Ta'avao. We talk about life on tour, their differing childhoods, whether or not they would get a bidet installed in their homes, the sexual benefits of Deer velvet and much more.
For our inaugural episode we have superstar Damian McKenzie on the show. We talk all things Damian including love life, growing up on a farm in Gore, his close relationship with his brother, oh and a little bit of rugby too.
