Ep. 35 - Mowing With My Eyes Closed
This one started with frozen face washers relieving Benny’s eye balls from the unrelenting pain thanks to his continual case of severe hay fever and ended up with him flying solo thanks to the beckoning call of sick kids!There has never been more mowing done at Flying Blind HQ thanks to their newest family member, the Roborock robotic mower and it is a dead set game changer! Benny was up in Brisbane over the weekend for the annual Get Yourself Checked charity gala and runs us through what was an amazing night to be involved with that raised $1 million for prostate cancer. After Ames gets called out Benny finishes with some upcoming events including another Ski For Life Mates On A Mission roadshow next week and an event we are pumped for, the Four Posts Jarklin Quick Shear on the 13th of November. Last but not least, we hope that Benny’s sister Carls and Bayley have a fantastic wedding this weekend!

Ep. 34 - The Hype Guy with Dan 'Wardy' Ward
It is third time lucky for Benny and Dan ‘Wardy' Ward as they had a couple of false starts before finally getting this chat in the book. Wardy brings unreal energy and has the story to match. He runs us through the moment he got hit by an out of control truck and the impact it has had on the rest of his life. The boys share tales of trekking Kokoda as Wardy is recently back from his first adventure to PNG, spotting different coloured cars and pumping out 30,000 push ups in 1 month. There is some great stuff in here for everyone around harnessing positive energy, strengthening your mindset and the importance of checking in on your own tyre pressure. Enjoy legends!

Ep. 33 - Blind Biffs, Wet Deni & Hot Dramas
Benny has just rolled back in from a very wet and muddy Deni Ute Muster and has definitely seen better days and Ames is pumped as the NRL Grand Final is on in the background as she cheers on her beloved Newcastle Knights while we record this week’s episode. There’s been plenty happening over the past couple of week’s kicking off with a huge few days on the Gold Coast for Podcast Royale 3.0 with plenty of tales to tell from the hectic lead up, the fight night itself, the after party, a ripper Sunday sesh and so many highlights catching up with the legends that we got to meet! Ames nearly turned this into the Newcastle Knights Supporters Podcast as she had plenty of details about their history and success 25 years so the question is has she just jumped on the band wagon or does she really bleed red and blue? Benny has been line dancing, featuring in music videos and getting his boots muddy at Deni with plenty of mates. Wrapping up this week, the fact October is Mental health month has caught our eye so make sure you do something to look after yourself and your mates this October because before we know it the silly season will be upon us.

Ep. 32 - The Overflowing Schooner with Reuben Dolphin
While on the Gold Coast for Podcast Royale 3.0, you get to meet some absolute legends. On night 1 Benny got the invite to jump into the Reuben’s Ranch limo that has been converted into a mobile podcast studio for plenty of laughs and yarns and then we switched it up for a very different interview with Reuben the next day. Benny went into this one thinking that he and Reuben from DMW would be talking all things 4x4’s, outdoor adventures and chopping cars in half to put trays on them, turns out he was very wrong! From growing up in a family that struggled to make ends meet and caring for his sister with disability, to having his world changed forever when his wife and mother of his two children had an accident resulting in an acquired brain injury. This has changed not just Reubens life but his families and he shares so openly how it continues to have an impact and that at the moment things are pretty bloody tough. Chopping cars in half does get a mention as well as the huge benefit that has come as a by product of starting his own podcast, Reubens Ranch, which leads them to sharing a pretty exciting idea they have come up for 2027!
