A massive week in sport and the smugglers are all over it.

Australia dominates the Winter Olympics, Ange Postecoglou takes aim at Tottenham, Muhammad Touré bags a historic hat-trick in England, and AFL State of Origin returns with controversy.

We also break down NBA trade period winners and losers for the Aussies, Jai Opetaia’s next title shot, Alex de Minaur’s Rotterdam win and whether Valentine’s Day is a financial scam.

Sport. Comedy. Absolute chaos.

Get around us.

This week we’re joined by comedian and content creator Sam Zito, a former VFL listed player who remains quietly (and loudly) confident he could’ve played AFL.

Sam talks us through his football journey at Essendon VFL, Northern Blues and Oakleigh Chargers, what it’s actually like getting cut from elite programs, and the reality gap between VFL hopefuls and AFL stars.

We also unpack how he found comedy, his first ever gigs, touring nationally, opening for big names, and why bombing early might’ve saved his career.

Add in AFL State of Origin chat, terrible sponsor pitches, local footy legends, and some all-time delusion — and you’ve got a classic Budgie Smugglers ep.

Two Comedians. Zero Credentials. All Aussie Athletes.

This week on The Budgie Smugglers, Steven Bradshaw and Jeremy Dooley return after a huge January that included deleted episodes, legal scare-offs, and accidentally becoming journalists for about 12 hours.

We break down:
• Why saying “allegedly” doesn’t actually save you
• The Lachie Neale saga and AFL off-field chaos
• UFC 325 reaction
• Why influencers at the Australian Open are ruining the vibe
• Shopping trolleys as an indicator of suburb quality
• Schoolyard sporting moments that live in legend
• The internet absolutely losing its mind in our comment section
• Volk becoming the Aussie Sporting GOAT

We also chat The Aussie Open, an Aussie in the Super Bowl, Cricket, Surfing, NBL Brawls & more.

As always, we don’t fact-check, we don’t apologise properly, and we absolutely read your comments.

As well as everybody's favourite regular weekly segments The Comment Section, Audience Question, Quick Hits, Big Questions, Get around us, Off Field antics, Dool’s Top 5 and Weekly Power Rankings.
