The Unlaced Podcast with Jake Barker-Daish

Zach Tuohy's story is remarkable with his upbringing in Ireland, background in Gaelic Football and the switch to AFL premiership star. Zach opens up about some of the initial difficulties adjusting to the AFL and how playing with the likes of Chris Judd enabled his game understanding to blossom so quickly. Zach's breakdown of Geelong, its culture and its elite level players was unmatched in this episode as he had the joy of winning a premiership with the cats. This episode highlights so much behind the athlete, the strength of Zach to persevere and sheds light on his new book called ‘The Irish Experiment'.

Paul Taylor is Ex-military, Neuroscientist, Physiologist and Nutritionist that believes we are the most depressed, addicted, obese and medicated in human history yet civilisation is the most advanced it has ever been. Paul believes we all need to take a "tough winters training' as he frames it help us prepare for the inevitable difficulties in life to help us deal with stress in our lives easier. In this episode Paul details why exercise, hot therapy, cold therapy and nutrition can assist with the gremlin in your mind and life to keep you moving forward despite the "shit sandwich' life has given you. This was one of the most helpful podcasts we have ever done, and I cannot recommend this one to anyone who is eager to learn about the brain, perform and overcome obstacles with success.Don't forget to subscribe to our channels if you're new here and hit the notification bell to made aware of when our next episode is dropping.

Mac Andrew is fast becoming a superstar and a massive name in the AFL after only 41 games in the league and still at the age of only 20 years old. This episode we break down Mac's ability to play both ends of the field and with one of the biggest contracts in AFL history, Mac shares why he is focused on winning a premiership with the culture building on the Gold Coast. It hasn't been an easy road for Mac and his family who fled South Sudan to Egypt where Mac was born before coming to Australia with such a big family. Without doubt, Mac's story is nothing short of amazing and inspirational at the fact that he has the world at his feet and has already become a role model for his community which is a proud moment. This podcast we break down the season that was, Mac's game winner against Essendon and why working with Damien Hardwick is getting the best out of Mac Andrew's ability.

Adam Cooney joins us for one of the funnier shows of the year as we discuss the career of the only #1 draft pick to win a Brownlow medal in the AFL's history. Western Bulldogs took the talented 18-year-old from West Adelaide in 2003 who had a burst of speed and an eye for goal and would go on to play 250 games in the AFL including a short period at Essendon. The storytelling of Adam Cooney shines through as we discuss legends of the Western Bulldogs, the Rodney Eade hair sprays, 2008 - 2012 performances along with riding the wave of the Essendon doping saga. So many great aspects to this episode that all footy fans will absolutely love for instance Adam Cooney may have played a role in Brendan Fevola's Brownlow shenanigans all those years ago.

Clayton Oliver joins the show for what is a rare interview and conversation. This episode I felt showcased a guy that has been one of the elite midfielders in the competition from his inception in the AFL and has experienced it all from the good, bad and indifferent. Clayton has had nine years in the competition and for six of those seasons he has averaged 30 disposals a game, won four best 'n' fairest awards at Melbourne, three All Australian selections and a Premiership across his tenure. In this episode we shine a light on Clayton being a human being dealing with extreme pressure's, his upbringing and his time in the AFL that no doubt has provided a generational midfield for the Melbourne footy club. We hope this interview shines a light on the person we don't always get to see via mainstream media. Through adversity I do admire Clayton for the fact he never gives up, works hard and gives his best for his footy club when fit and healthy.

Jack ‘Pharjack' Jenkins is back on the show and fresh after his dominant performance at UFC 305 in Perth. Let's just Jack has had a big 12 months, after an upset defeat in Sydney this man went back to the gym in silence and sharpened every tool he had. This episode highlights Jack mentality, his fight IQ and also my 48 hour challenge attempting to do everything Jack did in his fight camp. Pharjack did an eighteen-week fight camp in preparation for this fight across 3 x 6-week blocks. It was relentless, tough but this man glided through it with a performance that followed. So much for all to learn in this about not shying away from hard work and adversity. Don't forget to subscribe and leave us a review :) This was episode was just unreal!!

We break Jamarra's growth in the last four seasons which his upbringing show's why he is always doing the extra bits to get ahead and taking nothing for granted.

I'd argue that Dan McStay's last 12 months have been the hardest out of any individual AFL Footballer in terms of setbacks. Dan did his MCL right before Collingwood's Grand Final win forcing him to miss the big dance along with an ACL rupture day 2 of this year's pre season. This is why this episode was truly remarkable when you listen to Dan's attitude and mindset, it's no wonder why he came back early and looked like he never left. We break down in this episode his trade from Brisbane which after 8 seasons was no small decision along with the experience, he has with playing with some of the best midfielders of the modern game. Dan speaks through the coaching styles of Chris Fagan and Craig McRae which was just incredible insight to two of the best in the game.

Brodie Holland is a former AFL player for both Collingwood and Fremantle Football Club. Brodie has a really smart footy brain which I loved picking apart throughout this episode particularly around the areas of the game that have changed from the early 2000s up until now. We dived into the unpredictable AFL season 2024 which Brodie breaks down a few of the top teams along with his beloved Collingwood. It is hard to argue that Brodie played in an era in the AFL where some of the greatest midfields had existed which prompted so much discussion about his experiences where he just fell short of a Grand Final win. He chased the best players every week and was challenged with becoming the fittest player at Collingwood. Brodie's insights and breakdowns throughout this episode are just super interesting and he holds just a great outlook on footy.DM US FOR UNLACED MERCH!Hit Subscribe or follow on our channels below!Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/theunlacedpodcast/TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@theunlacedpodcast?lang=enFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/unlacedpodcast/Join Dabble today and gain some easy winners following the greats across various sports.

Jack Higgins may be smaller in stature, but he tends to play footy like he is the tallest man on the field with his confidence and work ethic. It's no surprise he is in the AFL kicking goals in multiples and returning from what was a life-threatening brain injury throughout his Richmond career. The character in the man is what stood out to me with his dedication from a young kid all the way up until now with his training regime and mental strength development. One of the great characters we have in the AFL that had me in stitches throughout the show and has a vast sporting knowledge which he uses for fuel to get him ready for gameday. Jack's someone you love as soon as you meet them and that's when I knew this was special person. I hope you enjoy the episode as much as I did!

He is intuitive to his surroundings and his measure with his delivery has seen his social media following explode over the last couple of years.

Peter 'Pistol' Hooley has an incredibly powerful basketball story that provides real insight into majority of athlete's endeavour's to the top of their field. This podcast isn't just for the Basketball fan as the show entails working through challenges, setbacks and how to push through to see the good in everything. Pistol won an NBL championship with Melbourne United and was what I like to call him a 'College legend' as you will hear some incredible stories in the show. In between those two points it's fair to say Peter Hooley had to fight for everything he got which makes him really admirable but also gives this shower for everyone's learning. We also review the NBA season that was and the NBA Finals that saw the Boston Celtic's triumph.

This is an episode filled with EURO 2024 mayhem with some bold predictions and insights on a tournament that could be anyone's. Kat Sasso joins me again where we go through each group to look at qualification, who we think are dark horses for the tournament and our players to watch which could light up the EURO 2024 stage in Germany. We also cover the end of the European domestic season at club level which highlights trophy winners, manager changes and Man City's 115 financial fair play charges against them. This was fun, energetic and of course we brought some bold predictions to the table given this tournament always throws some shocks and twists throughout.

Tayo Ricci's wild ride of social media has been nothing short of amazing over the past 2 years. He has developed over 15 million followers across all his social channels by his version of looking into human psychology and what the brain is drawn to for viral clips. No doubt a master of his trade but the level of intelligence Tayo exemplifies within this episode highlights his success and his level headed approach. His content people would argue is funny, superficial and a constant show of his Zeus like body figure but I feel this podcast uncovers why you should never judge a book by its cover and continue to understand that to get to the top in anything will always come back to hard work. This dedicated young man gave our platform one of the most interesting intellectual conversations we have had on the show and I thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish.

Zinedine Machach has lit the A-League on fire for Melbourne Victory this season as they embark on another Grand Final appearance. Tony Popovic's backing for Zizou was what has been pivotal to the Marseille born star's fancy foot work, creativity and goals which has made him arguably one of the most impactful signings across the A-League. His humility, talent and laid back character highlight why he was signed by Serie A giants Napoli under Mauricio Sarri where he contstantly experienced loan moves across different clubs in Europe which made it difficult for him to settle. He now has him home in Melbourne Victory where his football is doing all the talking!!

Steven Baker was as fierce, tough and truly loved by his own as much as any AFL player over the last 25 years. He has such an incredible story of getting into the an AFL set up which was a longshot to missing his first training session with the Saints after a night out with Barry Hall and Aussie Jones. People forget Steven Baker won a Best n Fairest at the Saints and played over 200 games including three Grand Finals. Stevie really personifies the effort factor in life to keep pushing forward and finding ways to be successful which I felt was the true message in this show. A hilarious bloke that is as honest and raw as they come which made this such a wonderful episode.

Taylor Adams epitomises a fierce midfielder in the AFL that leaves no stone unturned when it comes to preparation and performance. His incredible career has spanned across three clubs including the Giants, Collingwood and now the famed Sydney Swans. In this episode Tay breaks down why and how the Collingwood moved which had a few exclusives around the discussions had internally before the move to Sydney eventuated. There is no doubt the Swans have taken Taylor in with open arms as he breaks down some of the absolute superstars within their team and few high quality players that took him by surprise when joining the club.

Trigger Warning - Suicide Is Spoke Of In This Episode.This might be the most moving episode and open conversation we have ever had on this show. Lauren McDonough shares her story of battling with mental illness and her attempt at suicide which she was incredibly lucky to escape. Her outlook on the mental health system in Australia was incredibly insightful as she talks through a taboo topic which this episode tries to normalise as suicide has touched many in society one way or another. We breakdown the difference between working through mental health and the difference with people living with mental illness. This episode was one of the hardest but most valuable interviews I have ever conducted on this platform and understandably this may not be a conversation for everyone but if you do know anyone out there that needs to hear this do share it on.

Terry Antonis was already a star in Australian Football at the age of 10 winning a competition with Adidas and getting the chance to train with David Beckham. Becks went on to say he had not seen talent in a kid so young for a long time which made headlines in Australia. Terry trained everyday with his dad and it wasn't easy for a kid with so much spotlight and pressure on him but that ended building such a strong resilience within. Terry joined Everton as a kid where he built a brotherhood with Tim Cahill before coming back to the AIS and joining Sydney FC at 16. A wonderkid that has forged a career throughout the A-League and across big clubs like Suwon Bluewings and Panathinaikos. This guy is one of my best mates in football that I am still close with to this day, it was such a fun and powerful episode!

Ash Williams Is introducing his new comedy show across Melbourne called Dinner's Getting Cold which is running across the 13th and 20th. Ash in not just a stand up comedian but he is the type of guy to be funny when it seems like he isn't even trying. In this episode, Ash shares some stories from his time in LA which had me in stitches from topless waitering, to being tickled for money along with the hustle and bustle of breaking into the comedy industry. This man is well and truly entrenched into comedy in Australia and his hilarious nature and outlook on life made this an episode to remember as we talked through everything and nothing.

Hayden Crozier has just announced his retirement from the AFL after playing 140 games across both Fremantle and the Western Bulldogs through its entirety. Croz goes through in this episode the brutal nature of the AFL and how he had to transform his body by adding weight to it just to stand a chance of playing a game in his early years. Some of the players Hayden has played with in his career are special and we detail the levels of Nat Fyfe, Matthew Pavlich and Marcus Bontempelli just to name a few. Having worked with both Ross Lyon and Luke Beveridge, Hayden's insights on high level performance and the rigors of the game come through in this episode on a level we haven't experienced before. This was a truly fun episode with a character well loved by all his team mates on any team that he has played on. I really enjoyed shooting this one which held many laughs within the show.

Tom Boyd's career has been well heralded for some years becoming the number #1 draft pick in the AFL in 2013 to only walk away from the game after 5 years and 61 games across both GWS and the Bulldogs. Despite experiencing one of the most incredible finals runs to win a Premiership with the Bulldogs, Tom's body and mind was always in a continuous battle to whether Footy was the right place for him. This episode was enlightening to the fact at how media had details wrong about Tom's exit to the game which through this discussion showed courage and also an awareness for a bigger purpose in life. This man I found super intelligent and someone that I consider to only know excellence which says a lot about Tom Boyd and his story. I really hope you enjoyed this one as much as I did :)Get Your Merch - https://theunlacedpodcast.com/ Improve your mental performance, immune system and overall health with Organic Reflection, I've been loving the product. https://organicreflection.com/Join Dabble today and gain some easy winners following the greats across various sports.

Richard Hughes is an Australian based Hollywood Film Director and Writer who recently released his first feature film called `The Enforcer' which was led by Antonio Banderas and Kate Bosworth. Rich is also known for `The Viral Experiment' which was across 8 pieces of content that fooled mainstream media to believing it was real and generated millions of views which states the genius of the man. There was so many interesting stories in this podcast about the film space but also Rich's run ins with people through the movie industry such as the late Angus Cloud (Fez from Euphoria), Zac Efron and Two Chainz which were all truly fascinating. We made a goal to open up the aperture of possibilities with the various guests and industries we want to go after for the show and this was an absolutely awesome space to tap into with a podcast filled with energy and laughter. I hope you enjoy the episode and leave us a review if you have not already :) Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Tolgay Arslan is Melbourne City's new number ten and is setting the league a light with his creativity and brilliance. Starting out at the famous Borussia Dortmund, Tolgay played alongside Mario Gotze and Antonio Rudiger for the u19s and was coached by Peter Hyballa who happened to be in Melbourne when we shot the show so he also joined this incredible football discussion. Tolgay has been teammates with Heung Min Son at Hamburg, scored against Liverpool for Besiktas and has won many titles. This was a powerful football discussion that honestly felt like an education even for me which I truly loved. We were also joined by the Assistant Coach of Beijing Guan, Jason Vermeer. This was a football feast and I hope you enjoy the show. Don't forget to leave a rating or subscribe to the show if you're new here. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

HP Boyz with HP Onit and HP YJ join me for their first interview in over 3 years. This was our first artist group ever on the show and we got to hear a few exclusives from the group. HP Boyz represent the South East of Melbourne more specifically Hampton Park where the boys provide insight into the harsh realities of the environment. In this episode we go through so much of the HP Boyz history from released music, group changes, One Four Documentary and the Drill Rap scene. An episode I am so grateful for that we could get the boys on. It has been a hell of 2023 and what a finish to the year with an episode for you all with two of the biggest rap artists in the country. I hope you enjoy :)See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jack Hanley is beyond an inspiration and I did all I could to get this man on the show to get the juice off him which I think we delivered. The Crazy Running Man as he is known just achieved a feat that stretches the brain with running 50km a day for 50 days. Why I admire Jack, is he came on the show and shared the darkness he went through struggling addiction with alcohol, drugs and gambling from 2013 through to 2020 and made an example of how he wanted to change to live a better life. Jack's dedication to ultra events are tied to a mental health charity called Out of The Blue which has raised over $55k in the last 3 months. This is a podcast for everyone that is seeking a way to get better in life, to act on change and surpass your limits of exercise. I hope you legends enjoy this one :)See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tom Mitchell joins for one of the shows of the year as we dive into the trade of the year which saw Tommy win the Premiership at his new home Collingwood. We go into why Tom Mitchell was born to play AFL and where he gets his unwavering work ethic and focus from. The recruitment war that took place in 2011 for the draft pick of Mitchell is a story that has not been shared like this before and I found absolutely mind blowing. We also break down why Alistair Clarkson got the best footy out of Mitchell which led to the 2nd place in the Brownlow in 2017 and the 2018 Brownlow win. This was an incredible episode about one of the great footy players in the comp for the last 10 years. So many nuggets to take from this I hope you enjoy :) See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mason Wood has had a rollercoaster journey across his AFL career but his level headed approach and invaluable perspective on tough moments is why he is hitting the top of his game at the Saints at 30 years old. We go through his journey at North Melbourne which after 50 games Mason shed's light on that he had more scans on his body than AFL Games which is crazy. He hit highs at North but found a new home in the St.Kilda footy club where he is playing a role bigger than an on-field player which doesn't always attract the limelight. His most consistent form and games per season is at an all time high and is no doubt a key player for the club going forward. Absolutely loved this chat and found it very helpful to learn off Mason's mindset through the good and the bad. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Adele Maree is what I class as a wellness queen that has focused on doing the inner work to provide thought leadership on a healthier outlook at life. Adele is a content creator with 100s of thousands of followers across Tiktok and Instagram that holds such a tight knit female community or you could even dare say an army. The community she has built is nothing short of amazing as she is constantly sharing insights into her day to day life and providing advice based on her experiences across relationships, wellbeing and broader life. In this episode we cover life in our 20s, relationships and the benefits of being disciplined with your lifestyle. I loved this episode as it is a style of episode I would like to introduce more often on The Unlaced. Hope you enjoy :)See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week on the show we have one of the biggest Football Podcasts in Australia on the show. Azam Abdallah, Aamir Abdallah and Huss Idris known as 'the truth' brought the drama and controversy around all the key topics in world football at the moment. The Galacticoz podcast is famous for the family banter shared in a lounge room that would make you mistake a conversation for an argument and has become one of my favourite shows to watch. With that, this episode brought great entertainment and football knowledge which I absolute love bringing to our podcast. I hope you enjoy the show!! :)See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Olan Tekkerz is an infectious human being with his humour and general outlook on life. Arriving to Australia from the UK to pursue his footballing career, Olan caught an opportunity to make content around the comparative difference of both countries which blew him up all over Tiktok. Without doubt a guy I could sit and talk to all day about football and life with the constant feeling to laugh at every minute because Olan will tell you exactly how it is in a manner that will cripple you with laughter. We discuss in this episode football in Australia, the NPL experience and the ebbs and flows of banter were a highlight to me.

A 300 game player with two premiership medals in the AFL and still as humble as they come for a top level athlete. Steele Sidebottom joins the show this week to break down the Grand Final that was and talk more broadly about his journey into the Pies and why Steele will never take any minute for granted playing the game he loves. I love everything about Rusty, such a good bloke that is honest about his craft as we go through all of his epic journey at the Collingwood Football Club. This was an episode I have been wanting for a long time and I think it really delivered as Rusty and I laugh, smile and re-live one of the most admirable careers in the game. Hope you enjoy the episode :)See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Despite his last two NRL campaigns being impacted by gut wrenching injuries, Ryan Papenhuyzen at 25 years old has had a massive start to his Rugby League career. Since joining the Storm in 2019, Paps has already experienced a Premiership, two minor premierships and the special Clive Churchill medal. Being under the tutelage of Craig Bellamy and the backing of Billy Slater has brought many great lessons, experiences and humility to Ryan's NRL career which we discuss his journey through this episode which really highlights how beautiful and harsh sport can be. I hope you enjoy this episode as much as me :)See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Year 5 in the AFL has led the greatest moment of all for Isaac Quaynor lifting the Premiership cup with his boyhood club Collingwood. 'Q' as he is known as played an instrumental part in the Pies last two seasons which have been filled with some of the most entertaining footy, friendships and wholesome moments which have gravitated every footy fan to the Pies success. In this episode we break down the week leading up to the big dance, the game itself and of course the post Flagpies celebrations which was something to behold. We were also joined by Q's best mate Daniel Scala who gave great insight into living with Collingwood's #3. Collingwood fans and footy fans strap yourselves in because this was as good and as detailed as I'd hoped we could make it to take us all on the journey of what it was like to win the flag.
