Melbourne comic Tim "Big Hewy" Hewitt joins us today on our special 'Olympic Reflections' mini-series!
We start with a very recent memory (Anastacia's parochial reaction to the Brisbane 2032 bid win), before deep-diving Australia's brief and weird obsession with the pole vault, triggered by gold medallist/psycho redhead Steve Hooker and the glamorous Tatiana Grigorieva. That naturally leads to a discussion around swimming dads and illegal body suits.
After the break we talk Stilnox and gun laws before gleefully veering off-piste via a chance reference to Jana Pittman's adult braces. We close things out by imagining how the UFC would go as an Olympic sport.
Give Hewy a follow on Insta (@hewybaby) for some elite Olympics video content and for updates on upcoming comedy gigs. His podcast, Feed Em Brah, is also available on all the usual channels.
Elite audio production from Tim 'T-Dog' Eldridge; graphic design thanks to Julia Edwards.
