The Unmatched Committee Podcast

[Carbine Chaos]

After years of chatting about it, my mate Jordan and I finally did a thing!

The Unmatched Committee Podcast is for anyone who has a love of sport (especially footy), obscure trivia, deep dives into sporting folklore and great banter.

In the first episode, we (appropriately) look at some of the greatest players to have snared a goal with their first senior kick. Give it a listen, like our FB/Spotify pages and join us on this whimsical waltz through Australian sport.

EPISODE 1: FIRST KICK

In Episode 2, we look back at some players who have pulled on the jumpers of 3 or more clubs. We introduce a couple of segments, Clangers and Soapbox, and I discover just how real the quiz pressure is.

EPISODE 2 - THREE CLUBS

 

[Carbine Chaos]

New episode is up, and it's my favourite game yet...

Episode 3: Two Truths

This week, we ban some words, start our footy card teams and try to trick each other with some creative fake player names. The only thing weirder? Some of the real names!

Catch us wherever you listen to your Podcasts. Thanks for the support!

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Our first cricket-focused episode. A bit of a long one, but a good one.

Episode 4 - Sticky Wicket​

This fortnight we take a look at some of the luckiest and unluckiest cricketers in history. If you like laughing at the misfortune of English cricketers especially, it's worth a listen.

Tune in wherever you listen to your podcasts.

We're back onto footy! This week, Jordan and I have a laugh at some fans who let down their teams, name our card teams before making our first trade, and finally try to overcome our middle-child trauma by discussing some forgotten siblings of famous AFL players.

Episode 5 - O Brother, Who Art Thou?​

Catch us wherever you listen to your podcasts!

 

[Carbine Chaos]

And we're back! This fortnight, we address HatGate, react to some Simpson-replacement suggestions, and finally try to reacquaint with one another through a sport-themed Newlyweds game.

Episode 6: Newlyweds

This week, we get our disinterested partners/children to describe sporting stars to us...with a big twist at the end.

error (0:00), we're reaching the business end of card collection (7:18) and we have a couple in our sights for our Clangers (17:00).

Our main job this week (22:00) was to ask our disengaged families to describe sport stars and see how many the opponent could guess based on the vague clues given. There's a plot twist you won't see coming, then Jordan explores a cricket pet peeve from his soapbox (1:26:41).

[Carbine Chaos]

Only a few episodes to go this season. No better time to jump on board!

Episode 8 - Scrubtacular​

A busy episode this fortnight! We have a chat about weird sporting injuries and take part in the funniest card trade of the season, before jumping into everyone's (those who have taste, anyway) favourite medical comedy, Scrubs! We have a chat about our favourite parts of the show before attempting a re-cast game with AFL personalities.

There's a very special guest around the 26 minute mark that's well worth a listen (wherever you find your podcasts). Cheers!

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Not one, not two...but three special ex-AFL player appearances!

Episode 9 - Takey McTakeFace​

WHO WANTS SOME TAKES? GET YOUR FREE TAKES HERE!

A diversion from the norm this week, as the Unmatched Committee reflects on the 2024 AFL home and away season. Jordan pays up for his loss last week (0:00) before Adam reflects on his first football trip to Geelong (2:24). Teamy McTeamFace and the Rogue Traders face off in a battle for player card supremacy, with the big calls coming from our surprise AFL player guests (9:23).

After we hand out our final Clangers of Season 1 (29:03), we then give our quick-fire takes on the season that was (33:30). Jordan stands up on his soapbox for one last time (1:34:30) before we wrap and prepare for something completely different to end season 1.

Tune in wherever you get your podcasts! Only one episode to go of this season, and it'll be an absolute doozy.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

A long one to close out the season, but a fun one!

Episode 10: AFL Survivor​

Cheer on your favourite AFL players (one per side) as they go up against each other in an AFL version of Survivor. Which player will outwit, outplay and outlast the others to become Season One's sole survivor?

Check out the Dead Meat Podcast and their Horror Survivor episodes, they are fantastic and 100% the inspiration behind this iteration.

Catch us wherever you get your podcasts as our first season comes to a dramatic close.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

A special episode for anyone wanting a brief respite from their families during this festive period. Features a sneak preview for Season Two right at the end! Cheers all.

​

It's the most wonderful time of the year, but if you've reached your socialisation capacity and need an escape, we've got just the tonic for you!

The Twelve Games of Christmas will pit Adam and Jordan against and with each other in battles of wills, anecdotes and new guest voices as the Unmatched Committee's final meeting of 2024 looks to spread some much-needed Christmas cheer.

Merry Christmas to all.​

Episode 11: A Very Unmatched Christmas​

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Season 2, baby!

This fortnight we have a chat about the summer of cricket, discuss some Fewster-related trauma, rebrand our card segment as Deck Picks (we were hacked, we promise), draft our ultimate athlete teams to survive the Zombie Apocalypse, and introduce our Scuffle segment.

Give us a like, subscribe and listen wherever you get your Podcasts!

Episode 12: Zombie Apocalypse​

We're back from the dead! To celebrate, we're forming our ultimate sporting alliance to survive an impeding Zombie Apocalypse. First, Adam and Jordan discuss the summer of cricket (0:00), before introducing what they'll compete for in 2025 (10:22). Clangers makes a comeback for Season 2 (13:37) before the guys get their list manager hats on for a newly-branded Deck Picks (21:27).

The Zombie Apocalypse is upon the sporting world, and we try to form the ultimate 9 to survive (28:50), before Adam and Jordan get argumentative in a new segment called The Scuffle (1:25:28).

[Carbine Chaos]

For anyone with nothing better to do over the long weekend, join Jordan and myself as we explore some of the biggest anticlimaxes of all time, before making some zesty predictions for the season ahead...

Episode 13: AFL Season Preview​

It's time for the (probably incorrect) takes that you are (definitely not) waiting to hear: the 2025 Unmatched AFL Season Preview!
Jordan and Adam start by assessing the last episode's impact on the media sphere, despite Adam's anticlimactic beginning (0:00), which begs the question of great anticlimaxes. Deck Picks (9.45) makes the guys question their strategies, while Clangers (17.00) get them laughing at unnecessary relics from the COVID era.
The 2025 AFL Season is (almost) upon us, so Jordan and Adam give their takes on what may happen over the next 7 months (23.45) before Jordan tries to stump Adam in a trivia battle we're labelling "Squad Game" (1.22.50).
