It is not often we see Australians that successfully transition from a footy career into an entertainment career (except for Peter FitzSimons) - charismatic former sport stars are usually given a microphone and sent to the sideline, at best.

This humble Illawarra boy has also dabbled with musicals, theatre, parody albums and commentating. Clancy and Errol get the good oil out of Beau Ryan, and ask the hard questions. Like, is this bloke Lebanese or what?

If you thought the Betoota Advocate was shameless then you have obviously haven't heard of this week's podcast guests. Dubbed the "white millennial Oprahs" - Zara and Michelle have made a name for themselves as the number one podcasters in Australia last year. In 2019, they made the Forbes Australia 50 under 50 list. It seems the pop culture/influencer game pays well. Our editors sit down with @shamelesspodcast to ask the big questions. Like how many reality TV dating shows are too many? And are Instagram bikini models really that inspiring?

It happens very rarely in the Origin arena, but 2019 has gifted us a Game III that is actually pivotal to the series result.
