Show Notes
Ames has just landed back refreshed and re-energized after 9 days on the coast and she has come back to some nice new additions to the studio that Benny and his old man have knocked up while she was away. It is the first chance the two of them have had to properly catch up in a while so they take the time to check in with each other, go through what’s been happening as well as another instalment of ‘what caught your eye’. This one goes all over the shop, covering Toy Story 5, magpies that don’t sleep, new shapes and chocolate flavours, barking dogs and what makes you a true local plus plenty of random recommendations. Enjoy legends!
Benny and Ames will also be at Brad Cox at the Forum in Melbourne this week so if you’re going or don’t have any plans, grab some tickets and join them for what will be a unreal night of live music by one of the country’s best! https://www.iambradcox.com/shows

More from Flying Blind Podcast
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!
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!
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. Enjoy legends.
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.
It’s fight week and Benny and Ames are gearing up to head to the Gold Coast for Podcast Royale 3.0 this weekend! Before they get to their plans for this weekend There is a lot of ground covered in this one. Memories are tested with solar system songs, Ames hits us with a random general knowledge quiz along with her wish to go back to school, we ponder what’s worse, hot days, cold days, rainy days or windy days and Benny walks us through what it takes to weed the garden blind. There is another instalment of ‘what caught your eye’ where the focus was on irrational behaviour and buffalo’s this week, and they wrap up looking forward to the big weekend ahead. We are pumped to catch up with the Flying Blind Community if you’re on the GC this weekend and make sure you come and say g’day!
