Sariah Paki and Tim Walsh set The KOKO Show Ablaze as the Paris Olympics Approach

This week on the KOKO Show we give you a double guest charcuterie board filled to the brim with Olympic sized treats. We are joined by the one woman wrecking crew who prefers flattening opponents than crossing the whitewash, she is known as the Narrabeen Knuckle Duster, but we just like to call her Miss Sariah Paki. On top of having one of the star players, we thought let's also get the gentleman that puts these gold medal gurus through their paces. He is the Russel Crowe of the Women’s Sevens set up and boy does he have a beautiful mind, it is the mercurial messenger, Mr Tim Walsh. With the KOKO torch lit and the ceremony over, Sariah and Tim dove deep into their Olympic preparations, discussed the sacrifices for success and illuminated the best path for their gold medal domination in Paris.
Plus, the boys most certainly jumped through all the Olympic rings to bring you your favourite KOKO segments including a full ‘Rugby Roundup’ where we breakdown the Blues v Chiefs final, we had a quick visit to Dr ‘What’s Drewing?’ to discuss Joe Schmidt’s first Wallaby Squad, as well as a little squizz at the winners and losers out of the All Blacks selection session. The boys then took a little jaunt North of the Equator to unpack all the footy action over the weekend which included England pounding Japan, the Springboks emasculating the Welsh, the Top 14 Semis and finally the URC Final.
Just kick back in your comfy, stylish and durable threads from our headline sponsor Polo Ralph Lauren and let’s bloody manifest about living out our Olympic dream of being higher, faster and stronger together. So, all that is left to do is take your favourite Matt Giteau gummy, run to the fridge for snacks and hammer-curl a glass of crisp Savvy B, it’s time for another session of Kick Offs and Kick Ons.

As a kiwi i bloody hope the Wallabies go good this year not only to make bledisloe more interesting but to keep these boys pumping out this absolute elite footy content!! Petition to get Nick Cummins on 👇🏾

[@Merv2016]

Please get Nick Cummins on

[@craighjonas8833]

Thanks for filling up the fridge.🍺 Thought we wouldn't notice, but we did. 😂

[@Br0wnCh3]

Nice getting to know the womens sevens coach and player. Great poddy guys. smashing it!!!

[@dustinalessi6602]

Appreciate the guests! Rugby 7s was what got me initiated into the sport and now I'm an avid union fan. I can't wait for the Olympics.

[@samurock100]

This episode was mad hilarious!!!!! Swoop killed it during the quiz. Absolute champ!! Awesome content!!! Love the Polos!!! Im going out to get me some!! Summer vibes!!

[@NickBurnham]

The quiz this week, the entire team turned on Swoop !!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Swoop gets the suit at the end of the day!!

[@Open6er]

Please roast Eddie Jones every week😂

[@NickBurnham]

🤣🤣

[@ryansanderson9175]

I reckon Gits was being passive aggressive with Swoops all pod. So funny 😆

[@Br0wnCh3]

He only does that because their best mates. 😂

[@CBTP1974]

As they say, " No better flattery than ..."

[@pix8604]

Swoop "is that the one with the curtains" 🤣🤣Awesome Podi!!

[@kenwardkgarg]

Mr Mitchell brings to mind one of my favourite desserts, tarte au citron: a pastry shell with a lemon flavored filling - and thanks for the laughs.

[@MattWhitmell]

Our Hong Kong team toured to Japan and were sponsored by geronimo's as we played the Tokyo Crusaders.. A cracking spot for a rugby tour.

[@d-sanderson245]

52:50 Gits that might be the best insult of all time👏🏻🤣

[@camcyoung]

Best part of my week

[@jules9123]

Hope the girls do well at the Olympics! Great show again 😂

[@OnionOnTheWing]

Boys I bloody love the show!!!!! I'd love to see Wendell Sailor get on the podcast with you fellas! He was on Bloke in a Bar and the Beak barely got a word in. He was so passionate and funny!!! I think he would be an amazing guest!! Thank you for another amazing show!

[@JohnHirsch88]

Here after the top14 "canter". Great show as always but have to say whatever _marketing guru_ didn't give a discount code from the start deserves the title _marketing guru_

[@garethsvencorder966]

As a Springbok fan and fan of the competitiveness between the ex-Wallabies boys, Swoop definitely said "a controlled performance". I do agree with Gits that it wasn't clinical and hopefully that changes with the big guns back to face Ireland at Loftus next weekend. Gits better send that durable as heck Polo Ralph Lauren suit so it arrives in Sydney in time for the next KOKO show. Good luck getting into that though Swoop and keep smashing those quizzes mate.

[@user-ex2zy5id1l]

Now I know why the Prof normally wears a cap or beanie 😂. Great work as always boys !

[@hamdoggius]

Silver medal hopefuls! The Blackferns will see you in the final xo.

[@hayesm1639]

Even the audience is convinced the fix was in for Swoop…he’s usually good for no more than 2 for 5.

[@millas1]

Please get Eddie to come on and sign his leadership book

[@deantairi8357]

great pod enjoy you guys all the time never change

[@codycoe-baker9107]

Are the lads going to be doing a live show for the Bledisloe in Sydney as well?

[@kickoffsandkickons]

We are hoping so!

[@timprimmer8829]

Is the Cat going to Piss on Drew’s bed again in France 🎉

[@alanoneill3167]

😂 poor swoop

[@d-sanderson245]

Are they that tight on time? (I understand Gits is limited) But can they not just use editing and film the segments separately? The current version feels like prof has to rush them and we as listeners are missing out on good stuff. Love the pod

[@samuelhowell7364]

Prof currently in defense mode..

[@JimiTeeshirt]

Up the Blues 🔵🔵🔵

[@Br0wnCh3]

1:05:06 how does Hodgmen get in the squad if his played for abs? His also played for Fiji u20s according to his wiki page. Did the eligibility rules get changed?

[@GM0730]

Yeah the new rule is there has to be a 3 year break from playing international footy before you can change. You only can change once too.

[@Br0wnCh3]

@@GM0730 Thats awesome. Good to know. ☺️

[@TheAngelina8888]

Best rugby pod out there worldwide by a country mile but throughout seems to be beef between Gits and Swoop or is that just their schtick - @prof can we get clarification? Swoop is a bit lazy in terms of contribution so get that Gits gets frustrated but it appears always down to Drew to play peacemaker… love you all

[@nieemkhan1738]

Sariah 🇵🇰

[@timlawrence6272]

How is it that Prof butchers saying 'Polo, Ralph Lauren' soooo BAD!?! Mate!

[@kickoffsandkickons]

He is saying it correctly. It’s how we were instructed by Polo to say it you legend.
