   Merimbula Traffic Debate EXPLODES! | Part 1

   Kick Back Special Episode: Merimbula Traffic Debate EXPLODES! - Part 1 Haydos and Stewie are back for a massive special episode of Kick Back, tackling some of the biggest talking points around Merimbula, the NRL Grand Final and the town's controversial traffic changes. First up, Stewie gives us another Bumble update — although there's not much romantic success to report just yet! The boys then discuss the NRL Grand Final entertainment, comparing the NRL's last-minute arrangements with Kylie Minogue's much-praised AFL Grand Final performance. They also break down the performances, the controversy surrounding the entertainment and the big game itself. Then it's time to get into the main event: the Merimbula traffic changes. After plenty of discussion in the Kick Back Facebook comments, Haydos and Stewie share their experiences and debate whether the new arrangements are improving traffic flow or creating more problems. From the new roundabouts at Club Sapphire and Top Fun to Beach Street's controversial one-way system, the boys explore what's working, what could be improved and whether there might be a better solution. Haydos even presents some alternative intersection designs, including his own proposal for traffic lights, improved lane markings and pedestrian crossings. As always, the boys welcome feedback and encourage listeners to share their opinions respectfully. And just when you think Haydos has run out of ideas, he reveals that he's come up with another proposal that could rattle the entire town… This is only Part 1. The debate continues in Part 2!

   Chinese Cars, Perth Bears & The Great Milk Cap Debate

   Kick Back EP4: Chinese Cars, Perth Bears & The Great Milk Cap Debate Welcome back to another episode of the Kick Back Podcast! This week, Stewie and Haydos are kicking back virtually and getting stuck into a big mix of sport, cars, Australian culture and a few everyday things that probably shouldn't annoy us as much as they do! Stewie reveals he's officially become a foundation member of the Perth Bears, talks about the chaotic membership launch and how the website nearly broke under the demand. The boys also discuss how the Bears came to be, their connection with the North Sydney Bears and what the Perth expansion means for the NRL. Then things take a turn towards the rapidly growing Chinese car market. Would you buy a Chinese-made car? Are brands like BYD, GWM and Haval actually changing the Australian car market? And are we witnessing the same evolution that Japanese cars went through decades ago? Haydos also shares a rather unfortunate experience involving a BYD Shark, rain and a very persistent car alarm, before the boys debate whether modern cars are becoming more disposable. From there, the conversation gets very Australian as they investigate our obsession with adding "O" to people's names — Haydo, Timbo, Jono, Braddo and plenty more. Is it laziness, mateship, affection… or all three? And finally, Haydos discovers Stewie's thoughts on milk bottle caps, leading to one of the most serious debates of the episode: should coloured milk caps really have been replaced with clear ones? To finish things off, Haydos faces a rapid-fire round of "Would You Rather / This or That" questions.

The great milk-cap debate comes to an end. 46:42 – Rapid-Fire Questions for Haydos Stewie puts Haydos on the spot with a series of quick "This or That" questions. 47:33 – Haydos Reveals His Favourite Dragons Player And the answer is… Wendell Sailor! 49:14 – Coffee or Beer? 49:37 – Summer or Winter? 50:27 – Beach or Bush? 50:45 – Netflix or YouTube? 51:23 – Morning Person or Night Owl? 51:58 – Pizza or Burgers? 52:33 – Camping or Hotel? 52:59 – That's a Wrap on Episode 4!
