About this episode
This week on the KOKO Show we recorded a little earlier to ensure we had time to say bon voyage to Drew and Gits before they turned left on QF 1 for a week of “work” / debauchery in the City of Love, Paris. However, before these two departed on their baguette beating adventure, we were joined by the third most capped rugby player of all time, a man that has an upper body like a Canadian Grizzly and legs like Margo Robbie from the Barbie movie, it is of course the Aussie Rugby GOAT Mr James Slipper. In this ep the lads put Slips on the hot seat, delving deep into his 151 cap career, revealing his lung busting pre-game ritual and they show him some love for what has been one of the great slogs of all time. Plus, the boys give him some sage words of advice on what not to do in retirement as this beautiful backy bastard sails seamlessly into his next chapter of life. Additionally ye KOKO faithful, we give you all the action from the Aussie A demolition job of the Japan XV in Osaka, we cover a plethora of exciting rugby news and lastly, we have another little crack at convincing you that we are actually trying to lose weight in our KOKO fitness challenge, in partnership with Whoop. All this mediocre madness and not a whole more in this week’s brand new episode of Kick Offs and Kick Ons.
