Can the Eels put the horrors of Round 1 behind them and return to the team they - and fans - believe they should be? The Tip Sheet looks at how Parramatta shapes up on Team List Tuesday, including who replaces J'maine Hopgood in the front-row as well as the surprise return of the Foxx. Have we seen the final chapter in the Zac Lomax saga for the foreseeable future? The rogue winger has finally found a new home after forcing his way out of Parramatta, fittingly at the Western Force. Will the game ever recover? Round 1 is in the books and there were blowouts and set restarts aplenty. Which teams rose above and who are firming as March premiers? Alex Johnston is closing in on Ken Irvine's legendary try scoring record and all everyone seems to want to talk about is whether fans should be allowed to invade the field or not. The boys give their two cents on the matter before looking at some sundry news in the code.

Parramatta pick themselves up and get back in the saddle for Round 2 as they look to tame the Broncos on Thursday night. Both teams are nursing bruises from ugly first up losses as Sixties and Forty20 look at who is set for the bigger bounce back factor this week. The Eels have lost J'maine Hopgood to a suspension but have been bolstered by the early return of Josh Addo-Carr. Is that enough to tip the scales towards the Blue & Gold? The boys look at what the Eels need to do to get back on track (spoilers - it is a lot!) and snag a key upset against the reigning premiers. Another short week means the Junior Representatives find themselves rolled into another combination podcast as the shows looks at a huge slate of games against the Rabbitohs on Saturday!

This week's episode starts with a mutilated corpse found in the Hudson then heads out on a wild ride from amateur porn shoots to borderline psychotic astronomy fans. We also learn the deep mystery behind Dickie Stabler's name, and we see Elliot's faith in his boyhood heroes get shattered like the glass display case into which he throws Big Dick Finley (James 'Fucking' Brolin).

All the talk leading into this game centred on the players the Storm had lost, their incredible Round 1 record, and whether it could finally be broken. But write the Storm off at your peril. A Harry Grant masterclass inspired Melbourne as they punished the Eels, and the boys break down all the action Listen to The Run Home with Joel and Fletch! 3pm on SEN 1170 AM Sydney 2pm on SEN 693 AM Brisbane Listen LIVE: ⁠https://www.sen.com.au/listen⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Follow The Run Home with Joel & Fletch!

Evidently, the Parramatta Eels learned absolutely nothing from their humiliating Round 1 loss last year as they did just about everything possible to make their lives a nightmare last night against the Melbourne Storm. Sixties and Forty20 have to wearily tread on familiar opening night ground as they review a bitterly disappointing 52-4 loss in a game where the Eels constantly looked for shortcuts and got exactly what they deserved on account of it. There is no other way about it - the Eels embarrassed themselves. So where to from here? The Tip Sheet looks at what the humbling reality check means for Parra and how much should fans react - or over react - to the brutal loss. Given the compressed nature of this week, the Junior Representatives - in the form of the Lisa Fiaola and Tarsha Gale Cups - find themselves somewhat unfortunately hitched to the reaction pod today. The boys look at how the two teams stack up against the North Sydney Bears on Saturday as they look to follow up strong victories against the Steelers.

The NRL returns to Australia this week as did the font of all Rugby League news knowledge - Michael Carayannis. He brought his A-Game to his first Thursday night hit out of the season. Plus Cronulla's cult front row forward Tom Hazleton joined the boys to discuss the Sharks prospects for 2026 and to explain the competition at the club amongst the try scoring props. And you can enjoy a tribute to the great Dennis Cometti who was a big influence on a young Andrew Moore.

Round 1 has finally arrived and the Parramatta Eels face the Melbourne Storm as story line after story line converge on the two clubs ahead of a cracking start to the NRL in Australia. Can the Eels finally end the Storms' legendary Round 1 streak? Will the backdrop of the Zac Lomax legal outcome add extra spice to the contest? What has Parramatta learned from their season opener in 2025? Sixties and Forty20 break down all the key players and match-ups on Thursday night and how the Eels can be the ones to end Melbourne's mythical opening week streak. The show also previews the action in the Jersey Flegg Cup and NSW Cup as the Eels hit take on the Storm in both of those grades as well. How do the odds stack up for the lower grades and can they start their campaigns on winning notes? Sixties rolls out the crystal ball to close out the show as the boys put their cards on the table for the competition. Who makes the 8? Which team will suffer the biggest falter and who is the unheralded bolter? To whom shall the wooden spoon belong to and which teams will meet in October? The boys lay it all on the line and be sure to leave your own bold predictions for the season in the comments!

Billy Slater unpacks a big week in rugby league, starting in Melbourne as the Storm navigate key changes to their roster and look to reset for another serious premiership tilt. What do those transitions mean for their spine, their edge, and their identity? There’s also a close look at Jonah Pezet’s move to Parramatta and how he could slot in alongside Mitchell Moses. Is this a partnership that unlocks the Eels’ attack, or will it take time to find rhythm? Billy shares his thoughts on Eli Katoa’s return from injury and the quiet leadership he’s beginning to show at the Storm. It’s about more than minutes on the field. It’s about standards, presence and influence inside the sheds. And we finish with a blockbuster preview as the Brisbane Broncos host the Penrith Panthers at Suncorp Stadium. The Broncos are back from their World Club Challenge experience, the Panthers are still chasing greatness, and Friday night footy does not get much bigger than this.

We finally have an official ruling on the Zac Lomax saga after the Supreme Court delivered a consent order that upheld the prohibition of Lomax joining another NRL club until the end of the 2027 season. The Tip Sheet naturally dives into the multitude of talking points to come out of the ruling as Sixties and Forty20 try to cover all the bases for the Eels and the code while the big fella gets ready to tee off over some comments in the press. Amidst all the drama and hubbub we also have our first proper Team List Tuesday of the year as Parramatta gear up for a trip to Melbourne. Who has made the cut for Jason Ryles? How do Parra stack up for their season opener? The show recaps the weekend results in the Junior Reps to put a wrap on the Parra news.

Self-produced after parting ways with their major label, 12 Rods released the genre-bending Lost Time in 2002, combining elements of power pop, indie rock, 70s art rock and more. Eclectic songwriting, dynamic shifts, and a mixture of organic and treated sounds balance an album full of catchy hooks with inventive and occasionally straight-up weird choices, like the loungy-groove of "Fake Magic 8-Ball," falling somewhere between Eels and Ben Folds Five, or the relentlessly melodic "Twenty Four Hours Ago." The lack of cohesion is offset by the versatility of the material, never overstaying its welcome, and quality of the songwriting that welcomes repeated listens.   Songs In This Episode Intro - Terrible Hands 17:12 - Fake Magic 8-Ball 21:19 - Summertime Vertigo 26:05 - Boy in the Woods 30:16 - Twenty Four Hours Ago 41:31 - The Time Is Right (To Be Wrong) Outro - Accidents Waiting to Happen   Support the podcast, join the DMO UNION at Patreon.

What if you could install solar panels and a home battery today, but didn't have to pay a cent until you sold your house? In this timely conversation, Francis Vierboom, CEO of Rewiring Australia, joins the show to discuss the "EELS" plan—the Electrify Everything Loan Scheme. While middle Australia is currently riding a massive wave of solar and battery installations to escape soaring energy prices, millions of low-income earners, pensioners, and renters are being left behind in the dark. Vierboom breaks down their bold 2026 Budget submission: a government-backed, HECS-style loan indexed only to inflation. We explore how this could bridge the gap for the 60% of low-income Australians who own their homes but can't find the $15,000+ upfront capital to electrify. From "standard" $11 electricity bills to the complexities of getting solar onto rental properties and apartments, this episode is a blueprint for an energy system that actually includes everyone.

A few weeks ago, some locals in Waiatai Valley near Wairoa were devastated to find hundreds of dead eels in the Waiatai stream. Some of the eels, or tuna in te reo Maori, were thought to be 40 to 50 years old. A team from Hawkes Bay Regional Council has been investigating what happened. Council chair Sophie Siers joins Jesse with an update.

I'm your host, Kate Shaw. This week we're going to talk about some amphibians and fish. Thanks to Aila, Stella, George, Richard from NC, Emilia, Emerson, and Audie for their suggestions! We'll start with Audie's suggestion, the sandbar shark. It's an endangered shark that lives in shallow coastal water in the Atlantic and Indo-Pacific Oceans. A big female can grow over 8 feet long, or 2.5 meters, while males are smaller on average. It can be brown or gray in color, and its dorsal fin is especially big for a shark its size. The sandbar shark eats fish, crustaceans like crabs, cephalopods like octopuses, and other small animals. It spends a lot of time near the bottom of the seabed, looking for food, and it will also swim into the mouths of rivers. Since it resembles a bull shark, which can live just fine in rivers for quite a while and which can be dangerous to swimmers, people are sometimes afraid of the sandbar shark, but it hardly ever bites people. It just wants to be left alone to find little fish to eat. Emilia and Emerson both asked to learn more about eels. Eels are fish, but not every animal that's called an eel is actually an eel. Some are just eel-shaped, meaning they're long and slender. Electric eels aren't actually eels, for instance, but are more closely related to catfish. The longest eel ever reliably measured was a slender giant moray. That was in 1927 in Queensland, Australia. The eel measured just shy of 13 feet long, or 3.94 meters. We talked about some giant eels in episode 401, but this week let's talk about a much smaller eel, one that Emerson suggested. That's the snipe eel, the name for a family of eels consisting of nine species known so far. They live in every ocean in the world, and some species are deep-sea animals but most live a little nearer the surface. The largest species can grow an estimated 5 feet long, or 1.5 meters, but because all species of snipe eel are so incredibly thin, even the longest individual weighs less than a football, either American or regular, take your pick. The snipe eel gets its name from its mouth, which is long and slightly resembles the beak of a bird called the snipe. The snipe is a wading bird that pokes its long, flexible bill into mud to find small animals like insect larvae, worms, and snails. But unlike the bird's bill, the snipe eel's jaws have a bend at the tip. The upper jaw bends upward, the lower jaw bends downward so that the tip of the jaws are separated. It doesn't look like that would be very helpful for catching food, but scientists think it helps because the fish's mouth is basically always open. Since it mainly eats tiny crustaceans floating in the water, it doesn't even need to open its mouth to catch food. It has tiny teeth along the jaws that point backwards, so when a crustacean gets caught on the teeth, it can't escape. The slender snipe eel is especially unusual because it can have as many as 750 vertebrae in its backbone. That's more than any other animal known. Most of its length is basically just an incredibly long, thin tail, with its organs bunched up right behind its head. Even its anus is basically on its throat. We don't know a whole lot about the snipe eel, since it lives deep enough that it's hardly ever seen by humans. Most of the specimens discovered have been found in the stomachs of larger fish. Now, let's leave the world of fish behind and look at some amphibians. First, George wanted to learn about the hellbender, and points out that it's also called the snot otter or lasagna lizard. I don't understand the lasagna part but it's funny. The hellbender is a giant salamander that lives in parts of the eastern United States, especially in the Appalachian Mountains and the Ozarks. It can grow nearly 30 inches long, or 74 cm, and is the fifth heaviest amphibian alive today in the whole world. It spends almost all its life in shallow, fast-moving streams hiding among rocks. As water rushes over and around rocks, it absorbs more oxygen, which is good for the hellbender because as an adult it breathes through its skin. To increase its surface area and help it absorb that much more oxygen, its skin is loose and has folds along the sides. The hellbender is flattened in shape and is brown with black speckles on its back. It mostly eats crayfish, but it will also eat frogs and other small animals. Its skin contains light-sensitive cells, which means that it can actually sense how much light is shining on its body even if its head is hidden under a rock, so it can hide better. Aila and Stella suggested we talk about the axolotl, and a few years ago Richard from NC sent me a lot of really good information about this friendly-looking amphibian. I'd been planning to do a deep dive about the axolotl, which we haven't talked about since episode 275, but sometimes having a lot of information leads to overload and I never did get around to sorting through everything Richard sent me. Richard also suggested we talk about a rare mudpuppy, so let's learn about it before we get to the axolotl. It's called the Neuse river waterdog, although Richard refers to it as the North Carolina axolotl because it resembles the axolotl in some ways, although the two species aren't very closely related. The mudpuppy, also called the waterdog, looks a lot like a juvenile hellbender but isn't as big, with the largest measured adult growing just over 17 inches long, or almost 44 cm. It lives in lakes, ponds, and streams and retains its gills throughout its life. The mudpuppy is gray, black, or reddish-brown. It has a lot of tiny teeth where you'd expect to find teeth, and more teeth on the roof of its mouth where you would not typically expect to find teeth. It needs all these teeth because it eats slippery food like small fish, worms, and frogs, along with insects and other small animals. The Neuse River waterdog lives in two watersheds in North Carolina, and nowhere else in the world. It will build a little nest under a rock by using its nose like a shovel, pushing at the sand, gravel, and mud until it has a safe place to rest. If another waterdog approaches its nest, the owner will attack and bite it to drive it away. The mudpuppy exhibits neoteny, a trait it shares with the axolotl. In most salamanders, the egg hatches into a larval salamander that lives in water, which means it has external gills so it can breathe underwater. It grows and ultimately metamorphoses into a juvenile salamander that spends most of its time on land, so it loses its external gills in the metamorphosis. Eventually it takes on its adult coloration and pattern. But neither the mudpuppy nor the axolotl metamorphose. Even when it matures, the adult still looks kind of like a big larva, complete with external gills, and it lives underwater its whole life. The axolotl originally lived in wetlands and lakes in the Mexico Central Valley. This is where Mexico City is and it's been a hub of civilization for thousands of years. A million people lived there in 1521 when the Spanish invaded and destroyed the Aztec Empire with introduced diseases and war. The axolotl was an important food of the Aztecs and the civilizations that preceded them, and if you've only ever seen pictures of axolotls you may wonder why. Salamanders are usually small, but a full-grown axolotl can grow up to 18 inches long, or 45 cm, although most are about half that length. Most wild axolotls are brown, greenish-brown, or gray, often with lighter speckles. They can even change color somewhat to blend in with their surroundings better. Captive-bred axolotls are usually white or pink, or sometimes other colors or patterns. That's because they're bred for the pet trade and for medical research, because not only are they cute and relatively easy to keep in captivity, they have some amazing abilities. Their ability to regenerate lost and injured body parts is remarkable even for amphibians. Researchers study axolotls to learn more about how regeneration works, how genetics of coloration work, and much more. They're so common in laboratory studies that you'd think there's no way they could be endangered—but they are. A lot of the wetlands where the axolotl used to live have been destroyed as Mexico City grows. One of the lakes where it lived has been completely filled in. Its remaining habitat is polluted and contains a lot of introduced species, like carp, that eat young axolotls as well as the same foods that axolotls eat. Conservationists have been working hard to improve the water quality in some areas by filtering out pollutants, and putting up special barriers that keep introduced fish species out. Even if the axolotl's habitat was pristine, though, it wouldn't be easy to repopulate the area right away. Axolotls bred for the pet trade and research aren't genetically suited for life in the wild anymore, since they're all descended from a small number of individuals caught in 1864, so they're all pretty inbred by now. Mexican scientists and conservationists are working with universities and zoos around the world to develop a breeding program for wild-caught axolotls. So far, the offspring of wild-caught axolotls that are raised in as natural a captive environment as possible have done well when introduced into the wild. The hard part is finding wild axolotls, because they're so rare and so hard to spot. Scientists have started testing water for traces of axolotl DNA to help them determine if there are any to find in a particular area. If so, they send volunteers into the water with nets and a lot of patience to find them. The axolotl reproduces quickly and does well in captivity. Hopefully its habitat can be cleaned up soon, which isn't just good for the axolotl, it's good for the people of Mexico City too.
