Podcast appearances and mentions of ian higgins

On this episode of Cyrus Says, Aussie legends Sam Perry and Ian Higgins from The Grade Cricketer podcast drop by for a chat.From the bizarre world of Australian grade cricket culture to the unspoken rules of how players must behave in the locker room showers, the duo serves up insight with a side of satire. They talk about touring India, their run-ins with the BCCI, and why they were told they couldn’t even mention the IPL or team names. They also reflect on their surreal interview with Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, who ended up meeting their families!From sharing their thoughts on cricketing greats like Ben Stokes, David Warner, Stuart MacGill, Sachin Tendulkar, and Rahul Dravid, to navigating cricket’s ever-evolving media landscape, Sam and Ian bring humour, honesty, and a bit of chaos.Whether you're a hardcore cricket nerd or just here for the laughs, this one's a must listen.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As they would say, the boys are here. Sam Perry and Ian Higgins are The Grade Cricketer, and join us for this week's episode of The Footy with Mates.

Let's be honest, literally no one cares about Australia's series win against Zimbabwe in Townsville. We're all here to get around the Zimbabweans for their historic achievements. We get 5/10 hero Ryan Burl on a zoom in between net sessions to talk about the circuit, the casino, the showers, the kit and what the Aussies are like as blokes. Chris Lynn also talks to us while waiting fir his UberEats to arrive about the future of cricket and how many different training shirts he must have. Across the equator, Jonny Bairstow has broken his leg ahead of the 3rd and deciding Test against South Africa at The Oval. India and Pakistan are embroiled in the Asian Cup - a tournament that exists solely so these two teams can play each other as many times as possible. And we're here for it. #AskTGC asks what we are to do with an Overseas player that leaves the ground to chop his girlfriend. Huge news: TGC now has kit!

If this is your first time dropping in to listen to Succotash, the Comedy Soundcast Soundcast, welcome. If you've been this way before, welcome back! This is Episode, or “Epi” number 318 and I'm Marc Hershon, your guide for this week's tour of comedy soundcast clips. Not to be confused with your host for last week's installment, Epi317. That would be Mr. Tyson Saner, a grand fellow in his own right. He presented a trio of soundcast clippage under the title “Reach Out and Clip Someone”. Those shows included The Greatest Song Ever Sung (Poorly), Mom Can't Cook!, and The Co-Founder. If you somehow missed the show last week, it's still hanging around wherever you get your soundcasts. Places like Apple and/or Google Podcasts, Stitcher, Soundcloud, Amazon Music, iHeart Radio, Audible and, after a long break while we were boycotting them for their programming decisions, Succotash is back on Spotify, baby! Plus, as always, you can grab any of this show's past 11 and a half years'-worth of episodes at our homesite, SuccotashShow.com. But that was then, this is now, so let me tell you what I have in store for you. Of all the comedy sub-genres – crime, movie reviews, TV show rewatches, the paranormal, etc. – one that has gotten very little play on this show over the years has been sports/comedy or comedy/sports. Not for a lack of content – there are thousands of soundcasts with a sports bent to them. The truth is that I'm just not much of a sports fan. Any sports. And although some of my favorite funny people host or are featured guests on these shows, when I've tried to listen I pretty much don't know the details that they get into around whatever the sport happens to be. To be totally transparent, no one has ever written in or called the Succotash and Runaway Truck Ramp Hotline at 1-818-921-7212 to request clips from sports-based soundcasts. Nor have any of those shows sent in their own clips to our direct Hightail upload site, at hightail.com/u/Succotash. So have I been remiss? Sure. I'll take the hit on that but Succotash is a two-way street – or soundcasts, rather – and if you let us know what you like to hear, don't hesitate to reach out! No matter! Today's the day we make it all up with a quartet of sport-oriented soundcast clips! You'll be hearing from the likes of Hotboxin' with Mike Tyson, Sportsfeld, The Grade Cricketer, and The View from the Cheap Seats. I will confess right now that I won't pretend to know the intricacies of what's being bandied about in these clips but for you sports fans out there, you won't need my help. And, if like me, YOU'RE not a big sports fan, just sit back and relax. This won't take long. PLUS we have a commercial from our favorite and only long-running sponsor, Henderson' Pants new Drifter Chinos. If you love the romance of the open road, look out: Henderson't rag pickers are out there, looking to get into your pants! CLIPS Hotboxin' with Mike TysonWho would have figured soundcasting would be the next best stop for heavyweight boxer Mike Tyson? Who in their right mind would tell the champ “no”? Not me! No, sir, no way! I understand from some friends of Succotash who have been guests on both our shows that the title isn't so much about boxing as it is about being enclosed in a studio with a former pro boxer and a lot of herb being partaken of with very little ventilation. Back in July Mike had Bill Maher as his guest and they tore it up about religion, Black Lives Matter, police brutality, and Marilyn Monroe. (Who's coming at poor Marilyn Monroe after all these years? That would be Bill, of course…) SportsfeldHere's a clip where I am totally out of my depth. This is from Sportsfeld – “a sports podcast about nothing”, according to the show's description on Apple Podcasts – and I think the hosts, Andrew Zuber and Jake Goldsbie are talking about soccer. Pretty sure. But the series in Canada they're talking about was happening concurrently with a baseball series AND a hockey series. For this clip I purposefully left off whatever set-up there was, just to see if you're as lost as I am… The Grade CricketerThis next clip may be a bit out of reach for listeners who are even die hard sports fans in North America. The show The Grade Cricketer and it's about – you guessed it – cricket. To start with, I'd never heard of the term “grade cricket” and had to look it up. Here's the definition on Wikipedia: “Grade cricket, also known as Premier Cricket is the name of the senior inter-club or district cricket competitions in each of the Australian states and territories.” There were originally three hosts of the show, all cricket writers in Australia: Sam Perry, Dave Edwards, and Ian Higgins. These lads have even written books about the topic, although I was sad to hear that Dave went his own way in 2020 to focus on other things. Anyway, I could barely understand what they're saying, let alone what their cricket references are about. So I reached out to an one of our oldest friends of the soundcasts: Jabs (Jason McNamara) of the old DHead Factor soundcast down in Canberra, Australia to give me his thoughts on The Grade Cricketer. Thanks, Jabs! View from The Cheap SeatsOur final clip is from a show by a couple of guys I've met peripherally, years ago, at the Los Angeles Podcast Festival. We've featured them before from the great soundcast they do along with Daniel Van Kirk called Dumb People Town. I'm talking about the Sklar Brothers, Randy and Jason. These guys are totally into sports and they get to let it shine nowadays in their other soundcast called View from the Cheap Seats. In this clip they're talking about MVPs and champinoships and other things I don't get, along with their guest – another friend of Succotash – the great Wayne Federman. That's going to do it for our sports clip-related show. If you're a sports fan I hope I didn't ruin it for you, but I just don't get it. Or them. I'm a nerd, and a dweeb, and I prefer a good game of Dungeons & Dragons to watching the Super Bowl. But I recognize the importance of sports in our international zeitgeist so please enjoy. Listener, you are always welcome to send email into either me, at m-a-r-c@SuccotashShow.com OR Tyson Saner at t-y-s-o-n@SuccotashShow.com Jump into this feed next week for Epi319 when Tyson  returns with more soundcastic wonderfulness. If you're looking for more entertainments, I do an editorial cartoon for the Half Moon Bay Review weekly newspaper which you can find online at http://hmbreview.com and just click on the Opinion section in the pulldown menu. Other than that, if you find yourself pushing a cart down the aisle in your neighborhood grocery store and a kindly senior citizen is heading your way from the other end of the aisle and stops you to ask, “Have you heard anything good lately?”, won't you please pass the Succotash? — Marc Hershon

Ben Stokes announces his retirement from ODI cricket after 104 matches for England, but is this the end of ODIs or will we still watch whatever is on TV regardless of the format? India win the ODI series in England 2-1, but all the talk is about Kohli. Is it time to move on? Will he make amends against Zimbabwe? The BBL Schedule is announced... yeah, there's a fair few games on but will Dave Warner be allowed to captain a team? Haris Rauf is on the show to tell us about his time playing 2nd Grade cricket in Sydney and #AskTGC asks a question about a possibly mentally disturbed former Australian A squad member.

Australia's humiliating defeat in Galle leaves us to question if there is any fucking danger? Was it the umpires? Was it the reviews? Was it Sri Lanka's Colombo community breaking into the Presidential Palace to perform backflips in his pool? Was it that Sri Lanka played well? Hard to say. One thing we do know is that betting in Russia is in a good place after a few farmers in Gujarat put on on IPL showcase on YouTube. We ask, so what's the problem? In other news, Virat Kohli hasn't scored a ton in three years but is his currency in franking credits or the dwindling Bitcoin? Barney Ronay is on the show to discuss the fortunes of the English cricket team and what it all means. And finally, #AskTGC makes us ponder what celebrations to mimic on dance floors in Amsterdam, if any.If you're after some of the grandest hoodie + trackie wear in the Aus winter, or swimmers for the UK summer, head to budgysmuggler.com and use the code "CHAMP" to see what happens.Check out our Patreon for exclusive content every single week at https://www.patreon.com/gradecricketer including #AskTGC Fridays and the exclusive audio from all of our YouTube videos.This episode is brought to you by Budgy Smuggler.

England may have actually completed cricket with their 4th successive come-from-behind win, this time against India. The numbers are absolutely mind boggling. Minds have been boggled. Meanwhile, Australia won the first Test in Galle against Sri Lanka in about 45 minutes. Are we satisfied? Guess it means Australia have one foot in the WTC Final. With sincere thanks to NT Cricket for giving us access to him, we chat to Wes Agar live on deckchairs, sipping on mocktails about shifting tin, his roof, environments and what he was wearing when his brother Ash hit 98 on Test debut. #AskTGC continues the theme of trying to figure out what the hell is going on with Bazball.We're getting behind Budgy Smuggler's Ordinary Rig across the UK, and now France!

Daryl Mitchell completes the perfect series with three consecutive hundreds in a losing side. NZ... what's doing? Bairstow turns into Bradman thanks to Baz-Ball and England are all of a sudden the greatest team in the world, despite having the exact same players as the ones that lost 17/18 Tests last year. We have trust issues. Australia are playing some mind-games with Sri Lanka... but why? Will Maxwell play? Will Steve Smith do something good? Why is everyone injured? Can Sri Lanka do the unthinkable? Matthew Kuhnemann is on the show to tell us about the teams he's played for and how his winter plans have changed because he now opens the bowling for Australia. #AskTGC questions if life can get any worse than this Thursday and Friday circuit.

YJB was absolutely sensational, Root is the best player ever (at the moment) and Stokes is the captain that England need. But just how bad were New Zealand? Australia are doing good things in Sri Lanka, but will we remember any of this unless Tim David is selected and we feel safety in the size of the men that represent the country. South Africa are winning against India B, not that any of this matters, because the IPL rights just got sold for $5.1billion USD. Wouldn't mind a slice. Liam Livingstone is on the show to tell us how and why he swings so hard and #AskTGC involves a young law clerk being caught in a lie.

We preview the “grand final” between Pakistan and Australia, where events in Lahore promise to override anything that's happened before (I think maybe Khawaja scored runs and he was born in Pakistan?). The women's team continue to dominate but where's the loss they “have to have”? West Indies and England play out a bore draw, but Kraigg Brathwaite's Mum was there - confirming that Mum Stuff trumps Dad Stuff. Zorba returns to the show for a lengthy chat, maybe 18% of which is about on-field cricket. #AskTGC is about cherry intimidation and Will's sequel to Tall, Thicc and Dad Dick.Check out our Patreon for exclusive content every single week at https://www.patreon.com/gradecricketer including #AskTGC Fridays and the exclusive audio from all of our YouTube videos.This episode is brought to you by Budgy Smuggler.

Ian Higgins, comedian, television host, one half of The Grade Cricketer, and representativ e of Australia, joins Bridget to discuss the severity of Australia's lockdowns and mandates. They cover the "island mentality," Australia's isolationist tendencies, the succession movement in Western Australia, why Australians are much more trusting of their government than Americans, and why most of the population supports the Covid measures put in place. They also discuss the politicization of the vaccine, the long term effects of the lockdowns on people and kids in particular, missing crucial years of your life when transitioning into adulthood, Novak Djokovic being kicked out of Australia, and why Aussies are mentally ill.

187. Season Finale, with Shane Watson and Chris Rogers“Every week! Every week!” As we wind down the summer (there's more cricket than ever) we start by exploring this profound quote in light of some more dark club cricket shit, followed by the lightness of Australia's lead over England in the Women's Ashes. Alyssa Healy gets the Women's World Cup on TV, CA says no to Smith, Smith says yes to NFTs, South Africa sweeps India, and England posts the most one-sided one run win against the Windies. Shane Watson is on Zoom and Chris Rogers is in the studio, before we finish it off with AskTGCs about trappings and tubbing at an indoor centre.

The men's Ashes is over and we're all a bit sad, angry, pissed off, drunk and other visceral emotions. Cam Green's tall isn't he? Phil Walker dials in from The UK to give us some very visceral and poetic minutes. Kohli steps down as captain after not being reprimanded. The Big Bash is a domestic T20 League in Australia. The Under 19 World Cup is on and Higgos is living out his dream of batting 3 for Australia. Simon Katich is on to discuss playing with Usman at Randwick-Petersham and the future of coaching. #AskTGC asks what the point of any of this is.

Higgos and Pez have COVID. Was it worth it? Probably. The fallout from the MCG continues and there are still 2 Tests to go. Should Joe Root be captain? Does it matter? Will Scott Boland ever play again? Probably yes. Will Swepson play? Probably yes. Will the SCG spin? When was cricket good? Quinton de Kock has retired from Tests, so will this mean the end of civilised society? Hey, Devon Conway scored some more runs. He's good.

Australia romp to a demon-arousing win at the Gabba and all of the nation's sensory needs are met. We cover it all (selectively) in 40 minutes of visceral catharsis, which is then followed by the Visceral Minute.Copes then joins in, adding intelligence and knowledge, before our most in-depth analysis of the BBL, aka Blobby Season, to date.#AskTGC traverses first-borns, rhyming slang, and sad, wistful English people.

The harsh blue (grey) hue of the Brisbane sky, blazing sun, golden sponsors and Cameron Green's size means we've finally arrived at The Ashes. Pez and Higgos reject a cold, clinical look at form and instead go big on things like feeling, vibe, narrative, stereotype and jingoism – for the optimal way to enjoy the Ashes is to couch it in colonial, cultural terms, rather than anything vaguely objective or fact-based.As a result, we conclude Australia will cruise: despite not having won a Test series for a very long time, leadership in general tumult, and Smith changing his grip. The Visceral Minute returns and reflect this general approach to things “on both sides”, to invoke D Trump (who played 3s for Manhattan). We speak with Ollie Pope – who played Sydney Test Cricket with some distinction – and afterwards decide that we want him to play, because we are now known to him and want to lamely attach ourselves to his success like the weak little cucks we are.Mt Foxmore's Shane Warne sledges Mitch Starc again, Langer visits Paine, and Cummins is an astronaut. Meanwhile Ajaz Patel takes 10fer and we ask: what grade would he play here? The Sixers also beat a team with Zampa, Maxwell “and some clubbies”, because if you lose a BBL fixture it follows that you are carrying clubbies.We pay tribute to Rob Aitken for his feat of 500 first grade games, a first-class player if there ever was one.We include a special chat with CEO of Budgy Smugger, Adam Linforth, on building a proud Australian company and tubbing with the NSW Cricket Team.#AskTGC is an overwritten lecture from the pulpit about the harsh realities of life as a millionaire sportsperson.

The Hundred starts this week and the ECB have bet the house on it. Is it a moral and financial catastrophe or does Jos Buttler hit a big ball? Thankfully, The Guardian's Ali Martin joins to give the discussion some credibility.

As you might have gathered, my two favourite things are dogs and films. (Jaffa cakes (the posh ones) close third.) So, I was very delighted to talk to to the very talented Dominic and Ian Higgins. Do check out their spectacular back catalogue - they run Pixel Revolution Films and they are attracting lot of attention at international film festivals - a cutting edge mix of reality and art. This was recorded on the day of the premiere of their new animated short film Of Wolves and Men.  You will love it, I promise you. And lovely Peter Egan did the voice over. Their next film will be Fleur, the beautiful little collie cross who has graced our magazine covers twice - a doggie Kate Moss. She had been very badly mutilated in Romania. Gov-sponsored canine genocide had seen the streets cleared of dogs and them being 'spayed' by people who definitely weren't vets. Fleur hadn't been properly stitched back up and her insides were falling out when the photos did the rounds on Facebook. It's an epic story of a dog refusing to die and never giving up trust in humans despite barbaric treatment. Well guess what, we helped Wendy and Andrew get Fleur's story published as a book. And guess who saw the front cover on Amazon and fell in love.... well only the Higgins' brothers from Pixel Revolution! Here's a link to Of Wolves and Men....https://youtu.be/DieDRSneYmE
