  • Spiked a hole in my brain

    Cannot believe these girls are even allowed a podcast. Dumber and dumber, nothing more than their TikTok vocab and giggling mean girl comments… not a word of wisdom. Was really excited for a girls only podcast, but wow this does women in sport a disservice. Tragic these are the girls the FTK boys align with, speaks volumes…

  • Aus running needs better than this…

    Brett has clearly only ever run for a living. Can barely string a sentence together. And now he can’t even post a good time. His stitch thing and now “personal issues” are a pathetic excuse for his embarrassing performances, thank god we now have Andy to lead the way, who comes across far more educated, humble and hardworking. Australian running needs better than these dumb boys setting an example for the next generation.
