Starting 5 Show

Stuck for Easter weekend discussion topics? We got you fam. How about the career highlight (singular) of former AFL player Ian Prendergast? What about regaling your family with the latest San Diego superfan song? Why not discuss messy athlete adultery rumours with your loved ones? Give us 45 minutes of your time and you'll be an expert on all this and more.

STARTING 5 SHOW EPISODE 27: HAND DOWN, MAN DOWN AFL is back, US basketball is coming to Australia, and Joe Ingles is really outchea breaking records in the NBA. It's a great time to be an Australian sports fan. Also this week: Darren Hulme, Rihanna, and pretty much no opportunity for Steve to talk about the NRL. Sad!

EPISODE 26. We're celebrating the blossoming relationship between Ben Simmons and Tinashe, the positive impact of AFLW on Steve's daughter, the 5 greatest athletes from Penrith, and the recent announcement of WWE coming back to Melbourne. TUNE IN.

In this episode of Starting 5, we talk about a member of the Victoria Police who lost his job after trolling sports articles with a KD-style alter ego online. SMH. Also, the sad/baffling case of NRL prospect Moses Suli, the time Andy saw Ben Cousins go to the toilet, and a whole bunch of other NRL/AFL/NBA talk.

STARTING 5 EPISODE 24: LET ME ROOT NRL/AFL haven't started yet. NBA is on hiatus. MLB starts in 35 days. NFL is done for another season. What is there to talk about? How about Agro, rooting for the Dodgers, the wonders of the winter Olympics and sports for short people? All this and more on your favourite Australian sports podcast.  

EPISODE 23: FREAK ON THE SHEETS In honour of the Eagles' big win, we're counting down the Top 5 Rappers from Philadelphia. After that, it's on out the gate with Giannis' inventory of Valentines Day gifts, Magic Johnson's comments on Luol Deng, James Tedesco under quarantine, Jack Bird's weight gain and more excellent sports coverage.

We're definitely talking the Blake Griffin trade, don't worry. But the real story this week is NRL reporter James Hooper's fascination with Jarryd Hayne's 'huge, rotund rump'. Also this week, outside of the NBA, NRL, MLB and NFL talk, we also work in some KFC and MKR references. It's another killer episode of your favourite terrible podcast.

In this episode: NBA drama! The Cavaliers soap opera continues, non-All Stars are salty about not being All-Stars and the media says Kawhi wants out of San Antonio but we don't agree. Plus; it's eerily quiet in the NRL and former AFL player Colin Sylvia was outchea getting virtual lap dances with a stolen credit card. SPORTS.

STARTING 5 SHOW IS BACK For the first time since August (I think), Steve & Andy are back on their bullsh*t, talking a bunch of misguided mess and speculation about sports. No results, no tactics, no analysis. Just Blake Bortles rippin' cigs and KFC hacks. Will we be back next week? Who knows

It's still NBA off-season? The NFL still isn't back? What do we do to pass the time? Hassan Whiteside is getting his Horatio Caine on in Miami to investigate the tragic passing of a parrot. White Raiders fans are spending their time trolling social media posts, and Derek Carr is launching a music career. Also, we talk AFL, NRL, MLB and more. Sports dogg, SPORTS!

You thought there was nothing happening right now: post-Origin, pre-finals lull in NRL, no NBA action, NFL is yet to start – but hey man, Mia Khalifa is out here tweeting at the 2K team, Jay Cutler looks depressed af to be in Miami and Barnaby Joyce is outchea addressing the media in a Maroons jersey. 

Nobody's safe this week. Keith Murray, the clone of Gucci Mane, Dwayne Wade and the entire country of Vietnam are in the crosshairs as Steve & Andy attempt to navigate the week of sports stories. This week: Kyrie unfollows LeBron on Instagram, K1ng Kyrgios plays mixed-league basketball in Canberra, D-Wade rocks fake Supreme and a kid put sauce on a donut.

It's another episode of the Starting 5 you know and love, just without that whole Starting 5 segment. We were pretty busy this week, hey. In this one we talk about forcing our kids to play golf, the very suspect use of the word spunk, and Andy's irrational (but not racist) hatred of Waleedy Aly. There's some sports talk somewhere in there too.

We may have gone from 'weekly' to 'when it happens, it happens', but that doesn't mean this isn't the illest podcast in the game rn. This week, we remember Prodigy of Mobb Deep, discuss Rihanna's weird '68 Jets shoutout and give props to Andrew Johns' thicc yeeks. We should really do this every week.

We're back, for consecutive weeks. This is some serious podcast shizz right here. This week, Steve and Andy discuss the top 5 signature sneakers of all time, the Ball family's appearance on Complex's Sneaker Shopping, NBA Finals, NHL Stanley Cup action, Benji Marshall's breakdancing ability and trolling AFL fans.  

After an enforced 8-week suspension, Starting 5 Show is BACK. We discuss the top 5 comebacks, Lavar's commendable 'westiyeed', Tiger Woods, Bryce Harper, Justin Verlander nudes, NHL playoffs, MLB, NBA Finals and more. You should definitely listen, it's dope.

This week on Starting 5, Steve & Andy give their top 5 'nothin' to somethin'' sports figures of all time, discuss LaVar Ball, the Las Vegas Raiders, the inevitable STDs of the Las Vegas Raiders and the significant home field advantage of the Las Vegas Raiders. Plus there's a whole bunch of World of Warcraft talk (sorry). In this episode: NCAA March Madness, NBA, Tim Duncan, Warcraft, Jarryd Hayne, Ben Cousins, STDs, SHabazz Muhammad, the return of AFL, Dustin Martin and more

It's episode 11 and Starting 5 Show is officially poppin. The West Coast Eagles story made Steve go buy a physical copy of the newspaper, Jason Taumalolo is paid out the frame and Idris Elba is now a legit Muay Thai fighter. Plus we talk about which athletes we would trust with the aux cord. It's a pretty dope episode tbh. In this episode: Melo's long-forgotten collab with DJ Clue, NRL, AFL, Idris Elba, Kevin Durant, NCAA March Madness, Lonzo Ball, Serge Ibaka scrappin' in the low post, Ray Allen and more.

In the wake of Andrew Bogut's 58-second career with the Cavaliers, Andy & Steve discuss 5 other notable busts in sports, before discussing Manny Ramirez's unique unlimited sushi clause, the Tim Simona scandal, Mick Gatto's influence on the Essendon Bombers, NFL Free Agency, and of course, the New York Knickerbockers. In this episode: Manny Ramirez, Tim Simona, NFL Free Agency, Mick Gatto, Essendon Bombers

On International Women's Day, Steve & Andy discuss their favourite female athletes of all time, before discussing the Panthers, the Rabbitohs, the Knicks and Andy's unusual way of pronouncing 'Hornacek' In this episode: The GOAT female athletes, Venus Williams, Brandon Jennings waving finger guns, Jeff Hornacek, the trash Knicks, Tonya Harding, Jarryd Hayne, Bryce Cartwright, Reggie Bush
