The Chat

The Chat returns...  New Season coming soon!

In a strange turn of events the guys sat down and channeled their inner 13 year old and watched 3 DCOMs back to back to back. Better yet, you can listen along with them! Be warned though, for the best results you will need to be in front of Disney+ to watch ZOMBIES.   The email: thechatau@gmail.com The website: https://thechatau.com The Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheChatAU/ The Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thechatau/

The guys chat about haircuts and Matt watched more DCOMs (Disney Channel Original Movies), which is borderline on a problem, like should a 26 year old man really still be finding comfort in Disney Channel musical content. Yes because its amazing and you shouldn't judge people so much alright!   The email: thechatau@gmail.com The website: https://thechatau.com The Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheChatAU/ The Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thechatau/

This week the guys have once again gone and had an annoying cinema experience, to see the greatest action movie of the year. Before they do they have some random Elon Musk takes to discuss as well as some Jack Reacher updates from 1997.   The email: thechatau@gmail.com The website: https://thechatau.com The Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheChatAU/ The Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thechatau/

The lads get back to a normal rhythm and just talk nonsense for an hour, really getting back to normal. There's Star Wars to update, more talking about other podcasts that aren't this one and a nomination for the Funniest Shit Jacob's Ever Seen list.    The email: thechatau@gmail.com The website: https://thechatau.com The Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheChatAU/ The Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thechatau/

The show turns 400! The guys somehow made it to 400 episodes - this one made even stranger as it was put on video. To stay with the theme Jacob and Matt try getting to the movie announcements of the week (mainly just release dates), naturally they talk Avatar and how they shape water. Video of the episode - The Chat 400   The email: thechatau@gmail.com The website: https://thechatau.com The Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheChatAU/ The Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thechatau/

As they power toward 400 episodes Jacob and Matt decide to not talk about the big election in Australia to avoid being too serious. So instead there's a strange amount of detail on Matt's election speech in primary school.   The email: thechatau@gmail.com The website: https://thechatau.com The Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheChatAU/ The Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thechatau/

What started as Jacob merely filling time while Matt got his shit together after some time off, turned in to a long ass chat on the lads mental health. Followed inexplicably by the actual planned episode of randomly reading the DND Monsters Manual. Enjoy and don't listen to these idiots go see a professional if you do have a problem.   Also new Newsletter: www.thechatau.com/blog/newsletter-march-2022 The email: thechatau@gmail.com The website: https://thechatau.com The Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheChatAU/ The Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thechatau/

Jacob fooled Matt into watching a documentary at the cinemas, fortunately the docco was dope. A little peak into the world of competitive wine tasting, which in case you didn't know is actually a thing that there's a world championship for. Let the guys tell you just how good it is in this The Chat.   The email: thechatau@gmail.com The website: https://thechatau.com The Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheChatAU/ The Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thechatau/  

Yes we know you were all expecting the boys review of Baseketball in Mediocre Movies, but honestly Jacob and Matt just haven't got to watching it yet. So instead enjoy a Meet Up where the guys get a little loopy, wait until you hear the Thursday ep they recorded after this.   The email: thechatau@gmail.com The website: https://thechatau.com The Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheChatAU/ The Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thechatau/

The lads sat and watched a basketball game and then recorded this episode, that game was if you haven't guessed was the Miami Heat battling the Oklahoma City Thunder it was eventually became a one-sided affair.  Check out how Jacob and Matt take in a game.   The email: thechatau@gmail.com The website: www.thechatau.com Newsletter: www.thechatau.com/blog The Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheChatAU/ The Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thechatau/

So basically Jacob spent 65 hours over the last two weeks playing a video game so we discuss it, and by discuss it I mean Matt guesses which fantasy stapes are in the game (hint: Dragons are!). Naturally it takes half the episode to get to the topic as the boys must speak about their week before they can do anything else.   The email: thechatau@gmail.com The website: https://thechatau.com The Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheChatAU/ The Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thechatau/

In this Tuesday rotation we ask Siri to roll us a dice to pick the topics that Jacob and Matt have bought to the studio. and Siri gets stuck on 3 some how. In writing this I cant remember what we ended up discussing so listen to ensure that you don't miss out.    The email: thechatau@gmail.com The website: https://thechatau.com The Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheChatAU/ The Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thechatau/

The lads caught the latest imagining of the caped crusader, with everyones favourite Robert Pattinson and Zoe Kravitz. You wont believe it but it seems as if they liked it like a lot. Naturally there's also some general chitchat to warm things up on a 1 episode week.   The email: thechatau@gmail.com The website: https://thechatau.com The Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheChatAU/ The Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thechatau/

While the topic for this episode is Audiobooks, Matt has just started to use audiobooks and for some reason started with the 12 rules for life, and they guys get very distracted by this and barely talk generally on audiobooks but about this books specifically. The lads wrote a newsletter! Check it out and subscribe at www.thechatau.com/blog/newsletter-february22   The email: thechatau@gmail.com The website: https://thechatau.com The Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheChatAU/ The Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thechatau/

After some personal leave the boys are back (queue High School Musical 3: Senior Year), fresh of a strong Friday drinks showing they tend to recap their discussions particularly those on politics and the war against Russia.    And most importantly our first newsletter is out and the boys discuss that too!

On this late edition of the meet up the lads get together after work and discuss National Press Club, Long Shlongs and where the PS5s are to play COD on or if Halo on the Xbox is the transition to go. Then for Falcon and friends Jacob has watched Barry as well as some old Top Gear episodes. While Matt has binged all of the new Amazon Prime offering Reacher.   The email: thechatau@gmail.com The website: https://thechatau.com The Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheChatAU/ The Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thechatau/

Matt got a switch for Christmas, almost entirely to play Pokemon games. His prayers were answered with the release of Pokemon Legends Arceus.  Before all that the boys talk tennis, visiting previous COVID hotspots and Matt kind of watched Tick Tick Boom. The email: thechatau@gmail.com The website: https://thechatau.com The Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheChatAU/ The Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thechatau/

In the second edition of the Chat's bookclub Matt has read Michael Lewis' Boomerang and Jacob dives further into Human Kind: A Hopeful History by Rutger Bregman.

The fellas spent the weekend treating themselves to the annual tradition of listening to music that they rarely listen to otherwise be counted down based on a voting system neither of them care for but ultimately made money off.  In this episode Jacob and Matt pay as much attention to the topic as they did the Triple J Hottest 100 countdown that is the topic for the week.    The email: thechatau@gmail.com The website:  thechatau.com The Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheChatAU/ The Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thechatau/

Mediocre Movies returns to the Chat's extended lineup. This month its The Equalizer 2 that got the attention of the boys, rated at 52% on Rotten Tomatoes and well it seems that it was pretty spot on.    The email: thechatau@gmail.com The website: https://thechatau.com The Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheChatAU/ The Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thechatau/

Matt's household got a Switch, and producer Simone was playing Animal Crossing in the studio so we lean into it and talk Animal Cross: New Horizons. After as always they guys talk too much in the general banter section of the show, about tv and what not.   The email: thechatau@gmail.com The website: https://thechatau.com The Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheChatAU/ The Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thechatau/

The boys begin by trying to improve their lives by improving the culture with a wind up and a wind down. Naturally they also delve into political topics throughout the episode, while trying to discuss well the news of the world really.  Then the return of Falcon and Friends... Matt can't remember any of the names of the things from Book of Boba Fett. Meanwhile Jacob can't stop talking about Search Party.   The email: thechatau@gmail.com The website: https://thechatau.com The Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheChatAU/ The Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thechatau/

Some have called is lazy, some have called it being overly inspired, others still have alleged that work started this week and the guys haven't adjusted. Whatever it is the fellas have combined the Tuesday 'The Mash' with the hour long Thursday ep for the Mash Up where we get through a couple of segments from wine tasting to the King's Man to the internet.   The email: thechatau@gmail.com The website: https://thechatau.com The Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheChatAU/ The Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thechatau/

Kicking off 2022 with our resolutions only seems right, Right? Wrong! Rather we get far to sidetracked with our NYE activities and Matt's confirmation of his previous Spiderman takes, and Jacob spent an entire day at the cinema. The boys do get to their resolutions, in doing so making this a loong episode, this is what happens when they both have the week off work with little to do I guess.   The email: thechatau@gmail.com The website: https://thechatau.com The Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheChatAU/ The Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thechatau/

The fellas decide to change the format of the bookclub and just talk about whatever they've been reading this month. Jacob has gotten into cooking books without yet having got into cooking. Meanwhile Matt is exploring a time only long ago in a galaxy far far away.    The email: thechatau@gmail.com The website: https://thechatau.com The Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheChatAU/ The Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thechatau/

In this edition of the meet up the guys talk about transformers again, they really try hard to not talk about Spiderman but ultimately fail as well as mixing in some weird obsession Jacob has with head.  The email: thechatau@gmail.com The website: https://thechatau.com The Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheChatAU/ The Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thechatau/

Jacob's coming back down from the peak of the Knoll and as such the boys talk about the highest peak in Western Australia.
