Ep. 17 – "Back After the Break: Movies, Cars & a Wildcard Detour" 🎉

Mitch and James are back after a long gap for a relaxed catch-up covering the podcast hiatus, a baby shower, movie recs, car talk, and some very loose sports chat. James reviews the breakout horror film Obsession, and the episode wraps with a shout-out to the Katamatite Tigers heading into the grand final.

What We Covered:

• 🎙 Back After the Break — Reopening the show after a long hiatus, side projects, and Mitch & Tommy doing commentary on the Southern Inland rugby finals
• ⚾ Yankees Update — Sitting second in their league with a wildcard playoff spot, plus how baseball’s wildcard system compares to AFL and NRL finals
• 🧔 Beard Talk — Why James keeps maintenance low-effort and skips the half-hour conditioning routine
• 👶 Baby Shower Chat — Mixed-gender gatherings, changing traditions, gift cards, registries, and avoiding duplicate presents
• 🚗 Cars & 4WDs — Older, simpler four-wheel drives vs new sensor-packed cars, Tesla Model Y topping August sales, Ford Ranger leading YTD, range, charging, and whether an EV can power your house
• 🎥 Movie Review — James on Obsession: simple premise, strong acting, low budget, huge box office, and an ending that actually fits
• 🐅 Katamatite Tigers — Grand final preview, Gus in reserve grade, and first grade chasing back-to-back flags
• 📬 What’s Next — Listener questions, possible live episodes, and whether email updates make sense yet

Relaxed, funny, and all over the shop in the best way. Classic backyard banter.
