Show Notes
Newcastle came within a point of a premiership, and nobody's okay.
Daily Blue Weekly is back with the full Knights grand final debrief: from the box at McDonald Jones Stadium as Ponga's try nearly lifted the roof, to the flares that stayed in the cupboard and a city that was one field goal away from full anarchy. Then the Roosters cop it — Channel 9's awkward pub cutaway and Nick Politis calling the fans "customers". Plus a Siberian plague lab leak, a Rogan guest claiming there's an alien war, a poem dedicated to Bali, and a stacked round of Daily Blue Dial Ins

More from Daily Blue Weekly
Knuckles joins Gabe and Bluey on Daily Blue Weekly to talk about running nine companies, the time he walked up to Albo at the footy with a plan to fix the country. Gabe pitches some hats that should never be made, the boys go deep on aliens, lizard billionaires and the moon landing, and Newcastle relives the greatest Knights week in living memory. Plus: first look at what's coming for Podcast Royale 4.0.
Hog'spitality is dead, and so are millions of very confused Bogong moths.
Undefeated. Two from two. And yes, something was in his pants at the press conference. Bluey is back from Podcast Royale 3 with a unanimous-decision win and a lot to unpack: the press conference stunt and the round 3 moment where he eased off and checked if his opponent was okay. Then Daily Blue Weekly goes full Knights fever. The Newcastle Knights went from the wooden spoon to beating the Penrith Panthers with 12 men, and Gabe's written them a poem for the grand final against the Roosters.
It's Fight Week, and the boys brought in the only man qualified to talk them off the ledge: Blueys coach, Rich Fogarty. Rich has spent 35 years in combat sports, holding pads for Jon Jones at midnight in Albuquerque, sitting in Muhammad Ali's house and driving out to Mike Tyson's place for the day. On this episode of Daily Blue Weekly he gets into growing up in a Newcastle bikie pub, cutting bodies open in the morgue at 16, why influencer boxing is actually fine by him, the athlete who asked not to be filmed from behind.
Jeremy Latimore stood across from a 6'7", 134kg Nelson Asofa-Solomona, backed himself, and walked straight into the uppercut. He'd do it again tomorrow. The Rugby League Journeyman host joins Daily Blue Weekly for his second visit and doesn't leave much on the table — Why he wasn't a prodigy, the worst trainers he played alongside and bender stories. Plus going full curtains-closed on conspiracies. He's back in the ring at Podcast Royale 3 on the Gold Coast
