Made in America

Chronicles On The Fly

06/07/20 • 73 min

Made in America... this week's episode title says it all for this week's discussion between Simon & Mel, with the craziness going on in the United States. We stole it from the name of the final episode of The Sopranos which we've previously discussed. We're talking about the protests and riots in America stemming from the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis, Minnesota, the responses from Trump and Biden, police brutality, as well as the false narrative being told by left leaning mainstream media organisations. We also discuss the social media rant by Candace Owens who brought up some eye-opening statistics to demonstrate that things may not be quite what the media would have you believe. We touch on the SpaceX launch to the International Space Station and the 76th anniversary of the D-Day landings at Normandy during World War II. We also have an interesting conversation where Mel gives his extensive insight into gun laws in Australia, particularly in Western Australia, and what the requirements are to purchase, own, store and use a firearm in WA. And we end with the brilliant mind of British writer and philosopher, Alan Watts: "You are Eternal the Universe". [DISCLAIMER]: We had some minor audio issues this week, which Simon has used his audio editing genius to try to remedy. So our apologies for the ever-so-slightly poorer quality sound at some points of this episode (it's not that bad!).

Big Willy Slappin' with Anthony Locascio

Chronicles On The Fly

04/02/22 • 65 min

Comedian Anthony Locascio is back on the pod with Mel, Dom and Simon, smack bang in the middle of his Australian comedy tour: "Don't Call Me a Wog!".

We discuss:

The Will Smith Oscars slap on Chris Rock, and Anthony has his own hard luck story of being slapped on stage.
Italy's disappointing mis-qualification for another World Cup, what's wrong with Italian football, who we want to see win the World Cup, and who will win Serie A.
Shane Warne, the Diego Maradona of cricket.
The war in Ukraine.
And the farce of Italian bureaucracy as Anthony has a long wait for an Italian passport.

Anthony's full Australian tour dates can be found at his Instagram.

Doin' the Dickie Wackin'

Chronicles On The Fly

08/08/20 • 68 min

We're back after a brief hiatus and get in to the COVID-19 issues: masks, Victoria's lockdown, the hydroxychloroquine debate, and Big Brother spying on us to make sure we don't get too close. We also discuss the explosion in the port of Beirut and American mob stories. Simon then introduces us to Scott, who he became friends with through a common love of the music of Bruce Springsteen. Scott has written an inspiring book, "Head Strong: How a Broken Neck Strengthened My Spirit", about his amazing life story so far.

The Defining Moment

Chronicles On The Fly

05/22/20 • 43 min

This week we begin by discussing the inevitable... 'The Last Dance' finale. Simon isn't impressed about the lack of coverage for Perth's own 3-time NBA Champion with the Chicago Bulls, Luc Longley, but has a right rave about Michael Jordan's defining moment at the end of game 6 against Utah Jazz in the 1998 NBA Finals. Guided by Mel's beer-top questionnaire, we put together our all-time greatest Australian Cricket team. Simon has a rant about WA Police spending their time and taxpayers' money on the latest viral social media dance craze. Mel is unhappy about the state border enforcement during COVID-19 and the state Premiers bickering. We discuss China's political response to Australia and other countries, and Mel has some good advice for the Australian manufacturing and export market. And we end the episode with the great MJ.

We're late with this week's podcast, and get in to this one with a catch up on episodes 7 & 8 of the brilliant Netflix documentary series "The Last Dance" about the Chicago Bulls 1990s dynasty. We find out about Mel's love of shoes. Some discussion on the latest COVID-19 happenings as well as protests in Melbourne and the United States. AFL is set to restart, and Mel has a rant about his love (read: hate) for Richmond FC. And we end the episode with the awesome intro of the Chicago Bulls team before the 1996 NBA Finals Game 6, which saw the Bulls earn their 4th NBA title and the first title after Michael Jordan's comeback to basketball.
