“Sunday Sessions with Buzz & Gypsie — Humans Are Cooked in 2025” Strap in, legends — Episode 36 (Part 1) of Sunday Sessions with Buzz & Gypsie has officially dropped, and this one is a certified mind-bender. From dialysis machines to desert-wizard philosophy, meat-tray heartbreak to why humans in 2025 are mentally fried… this episode hits every corner of the modern Aussie psyche. If you’ve ever thought: “Why am I so bloody tired?” “Why do I feel like I’m failing when I’m trying my guts out?” “Why is my phone basically a digital poker machine?” …then this one’s for you. Buz...

Episode 34 – Part 2: “How the Hell Did We Get Here?” (Buzz & Gypsie) The boys are back — and somehow still not cancelled. 😂 In Part 2, Buzz and Gypsie go from chaos to clarity: freedom, love, dogs, dialysis, and the moment you realise you’re still enough. It’s raw, it’s funny, it’s real Aussie talk about life, loss, and laughing through the madness. Plus, a sneak peek at what’s coming next: Paul Seils on truth and purpose, and Clayton from Pottsville on community, mateship, and resilience. Share it with a mate who needs a lift, and...

Episode 34 : Part 1-- Buzz and Gypsie : How the hell did we get Here
Episode 34 – Part 1: “How the Hell Did We Get Here?” (Buzz & Gypsie) Two old mates, zero fluff. We crack open the big one: how did everyday Aussies end up overworked, over-stressed and under-free? From numbers-before-names school days to tap-and-go living, from health wake-ups to finding your feet again, Buzz and Gypsie trade real stories, real laughs, and practical moves for this week. It’s truth over tantrums, small habits over heroics, and a reminder that love still wins — and you are enough.

Episode 33 :Part 2 , Amana Allen , what happens after the podium.
Legends—Part 2 is here. If Part 1 was pit to podium, Part 2 is what happens after the podium. Amanda Allen came back from a total hip replacement… and still qualified for the CrossFit Games. Then life swung again—shoulder blow-out, domestic violence, homeless in a van, and a relapse that almost cost her everything. And she’s never said this publicly—until now. In this episode, Amanda opens the pages on the stuff most people hide: the night with whiskey and sleeping tablets the loneliness no crowd ever sees ...

In Part 1 we went back to the kid before the titles — the early jobs, the first hard hits, and that lesson to rise above when the rock-throwers come. Now we step into the turning point. The moment you realise people are watching… and what you do starts to matter beyond you. Les talks about coaching a mixed kids’ soccer team — boys and girls learning confidence together — six years undefeated. Then a window of opportunity: invited by his old school teach...

Episode 33 of Who Is Your Hero has just dropped. Amanda Allen — “From Darkness to Dominance… and a Few Wolfhounds Along the Way.” This one isn’t told by me — it’s listened to by me. I’m there to ask the questions. Amanda is there to tell her story. From a childhood of chaos… to alcoholism at fourteen… to the edge of giving up — and then the rebuild: sobriety, discipline, and becoming a 3× CrossFit Games Champion. In this episode we go there: “When life wasn’t a podium, but a pit.”

We go straight to the bone — the truth, the setbacks, the scars, the reasons people keep getting up when life keeps belting them. Les is on the line with me — and whatever you think of him, no one can say he doesn’t turn up. Rain. Floods. Online abuse. Community barbies. Footy. Fundraisers. He still turns up.

🎙️ LIVE EPISODE — “DIALYSIS DIARIES: FREEDOM, FALSE WEALTH & FINDING WORTH”
You know what gets me, tribe? We keep saying we live in a free country. But most people aren’t living freedom — they’re living FREE-DUMB. Yeah, FREE-DUMB. Looks shiny on Insta, but it’s slavery in disguise. Let’s break it down. D — Distraction. We’re drowning in it. Scrolling, swiping, gossiping — numbed out by noise. Entertainment’s become sedation.

🎙️ Episode 3 — “The Comfort Trap” Aussies love comfort — cold beers, backyard barbies, footy on the telly — but when comfort becomes a lifestyle, it quietly kills our hunger to grow. In this brutally funny, dead-honest chat, Buzz calls out how the system feeds us just enough pleasure to keep us calm… and compliant. From “a beer fixes everything” culture to the way we dodge discomfort like it’s a disease — this episode will make you laugh, cringe, and question what you’ve been calling normal. 💥 It’s time to shake the couch dust off and start getting uncomfortable...

Episode 2 — “The Illusion of Freedom” We say we’re free — but are we really? In this powerful second chapter, Buzz peels back the layers of the modern system — schooling, work, media, money — and asks the uncomfortable question: who’s actually running the show? From the moment we’re born, we’re taught to follow the script: study hard, get a job, buy the house, pay the taxes, and call that freedom. But what if the script itself is the cage? This episode isn’t about conspiracy — it’s about clarity. It’s about seeing the invi...

From footy sheds to Friday-arvo beers, we’ve built a culture around being comfortable. But what happens when comfort turns into control? Buzz cracks open the first part of the Start Getting Uncomfortable trilogy — diving into how the “Aussie dream” quietly became a system designed to keep us numb, safe, and obedient. It’s funny, raw, and uncomfortable in all the right ways. Expect a few laughs, a few home truths, and a reminder that gro...

welcome back to Part 2 of Who Is Your Hero with Jason Siebert. Part 1 took us from floodwaters to first principles — why shelter before anything flips a human from surviving to thriving, and how Jason’s Heartland Homes Project and Rehome Roots turn one sale into someone else’s second chance. Today we’re going deeper. We’re talking real poverty — is it material or spiritual? We’re talking scars that drive service — the moments that make a man say “no one gets left behind.” And we’re stepping into solutions: expandable, off-grid homes, community land, growin...

Now, let me be clear from the start: we’re not here to push politics, tick boxes, or run agendas. But sometimes, when you talk about truth, it naturally brushes against those walls. And that’s okay.

Not a wipe down, not a splash with a washer — I mean a full, hot, stand-there-till-the-water-runs-cold kind of shower. Might sound small, but to me, it felt massive.
