The Season 1 finale is here and there couldn't be a more fitting topic: TRADITIONS.

Ethan and Yvonne discuss what traditions mean to them and what their favourite ones are. And of course, for the festive season, they had to touch upon the dark side of traditions as well.

On that note, Happy Holidays everyone!

It's been a long time coming and some thought we would never touch the subject, but we're covering this week.

Should the rules be subject to fan input? What should happen to cheaters? What about gender? Do Ethan and Yvonne actually know anything about sports?

All this and much more on this week's episode.

And of course, we both know that the listeners are the real experts so get in touch and let us know how wrong we are!

Should sport's people be stripped of their wins and titles years later? Has technology improved the enjoyability of sports? Is sport a product to be consumed or a form of entertainment? What is your opinion on the 'Hand of God'? Just some of the hard hitting questions that Ethan and Yvonne deliberat...

How do you make decisions? Do you like to share with friends or are you more of a lone wolf?

In Part 1, Ethan and Yvonne face some of the big decisions they have in their lives and discuss how they go about making them. They talk about heart vs head, influences that go into making a decision, and whether some decisions are made for them.

In Part 2, they discuss further some of the methods they have used to help them make previous decisions. Your hosts also make some insightful observations about their current decision making processes which will hopefully help themselves and others make future choices.

And if you have a decision you need made, feel free to let us know and we'll make it for you.

Why do we grieve and mourn?

Grief can appear in all shapes and sizes, people process it in different ways, and bounce back from it at different paces. We understand this is a sensitive subject, particularly after yesterday's news, but we hope you feel comfortable letting us know how you cope with loss, whether there is anything else we can add to this episode or feel comfort in knowing you are not alone in how you feel on this subject

Please do reach out if you would like a sounding board or two 🙏❤️

This week Ethan and Yvonne finally felt ready to broach the subject of grief.
