Off The Clock with Matt & Nick

After a week off, the boys are back - recharged, chatty, and somehow funnier? Nick’s officially joined the gravel cult after his first ride, Matt’s been dabbling in serious podcasts (big brain energy), and we’ve found the perfect hypothetical sponsor: DJI. Because, let’s be honest, our recording setup is one dodgy cable away from disaster. Turns out, missing a week made for a ripper episode. Maybe we should do it more often?

With zero prep and a rogue approach, the boys wing it this week. Nick pre-empts his new hobby—gravel riding and overnight bike trips—while Matt takes us on a weird tangent that even he struggles to explain. Lesson learned: prepping for a podcast actually pays dividends (who knew?). It’s chaotic, unscripted, and somehow still a good time.

Nick confesses to a major rookie mistake last week—turns out headphones are essential for podcasting. The boys dive into their love affair with Breville coffee machines (sponsor us, please), Matt’s latest hustle on LinkedIn, and the endless chaos of YouTube rabbit holes. Plus, a passionate ode to naps: the unsung heroes of productivity. Grab a coffee—preferably made by a Breville—and join us for another laid-back chat filled with banter and self reflective humour.

In this episode, Nick comes clean about a creative mishap (we’re all about accountability here), and the boys pitch another hypothetical sponsor—because why stop dreaming now? We’ve also discovered baking and have way too much bread in the house.This week’s “Geeben of the Week” dives into tech ecosystems, weighing up the loyalty vs. escape dilemma. It’s a bit of banter, a touch of self-improvement, and just enough nonsense to keep things interesting.

In our debut episode, we chat about why we started this pod, roast Nick for still wearing his uni rowing kit, and fantasize about getting sponsored by On (please call us - Nick desperately needs new running clothes). We set some big goals for the year, including shredding, surviving the holidays without annoying our girlfriends, and tackling the Noosa 25km trail run in March.There’s a “Geeben of the Week” face-off (Matt’s Ray-Ban Meta glasses vs. Nick’s ancient Garmin), a culinary deep dive into “Daddy Egg” and “Bubble & Squeak,” and a preview of future episodes featuring special friends and special guests.It’s chaotic, it’s fun, and it’s almost productive.
