    S10 Ep8: Tim Bresnan - Why The England Ashes Team All 'Strongly Disliked' Each Other - Monty's Mastermind & Gary Ballance 'The Super Sopper'!
    Dec 3 2025
    Silly season meets Ashes season in this chaos-fuelled episode of the Rigbiz Podcast as Archie and Freddie are joined by double Ashes winner, T20 World Cup winner and Yorkshire legend Tim Bresnan. Before Bresnan dials in, the boys warm up with peak Rigbiz nonsense – Ivy Asia lunches, how to weaponise a client Christmas do into a surprise deal, bulking season gym chat and prep for the infamous Feathers Ball. It is pure December city energy: prawn toast, pool on the roof, fake Thai, real bids and a lot of lash.

    When Bresnan arrives, the cricket chat is anything but straight bat. He takes us inside that brutal pre Ashes Germany boot camp, the Hong Kong Sixes stag do in disguise, life in a dressing room where half the team barely tolerated each other and Kevin Pietersen was writing books about it for years afterwards. There is sledging on and off the field, Monty on Mastermind, Gary Ballance as the super sopper on a night out, Chris Tremlett’s terrifying rig, Ben Stokes as the man you always want next to you in Tony Boller and some brutally honest views on Bazball, pundits and whether England can actually turn an Ashes series around.

    Off the field, we get Bresnan the crypto CEO, Gibraltar lads trips disguised as “business”, Bitcoin breakfasts and FCA regulated chaos as Archie tries to wedge his way into the fund with city chat and bone crusher handshakes. It is part cricket nostalgia, part city boy survival guide, part financial nonsense, all wrapped up in heavy Northern energy and relentless Rigbiz silliness. If you like your pods full of lash, live sport scars and just about legally acceptable client chat, this one is an absolute gift.

  • S10 Ep6: Alex King - Wasps Glory Years - Wales Sacking & Why Henry Pollock Is The Greatest Gift To England Rugby!

    S10 Ep6: Alex King - Wasps Glory Years - Wales Sacking & Why Henry Pollock Is The Greatest Gift To England Rugby!
    Nov 19 2025
    The Rig Biz podcast returns with an electric deep dive into a blockbuster weekend of rugby, joined this time by a special guest: former England fly-half and elite coach Alex King. Archie and the team waste no time throwing King into the thick of it, unpacking England’s long-awaited victory, the rise of young star Pollock, and the surprisingly charismatic new era under Steve Borthwick. With insider clarity and a healthy dose of irreverence, King explains how England have rediscovered identity, cohesion, and belief—while also revealing what really matters behind the scenes: squad spirit, smart coaching voices, and the underestimated power of a good off-field crack.

    From there, the episode barrels into a globe-spanning journey through King’s playing and coaching life. He reflects candidly on his time with Wales, the pressure of public scrutiny, and the fragile psychology of a team desperate for a win. He shares raw memories from the infamous 1998 “hell tour,” tales from Claremont’s rugby-mad heartland, and colourful portraits of legends like Jonny Wilkinson, Sean Edwards, Martin Johnson, and Lawrence Dallaglio. The conversation veers between insight and chaos—whether it’s snogging analogies, stories of shaved heads on debut, or nights out that could only happen in the pre-camera-phone era.

    As the episode winds down, King opens up about stepping away from professional coaching after decades in the game, finding a new path in high-performance sportswear, and rediscovering family life after years of constant relocation. The chat finishes with a rapid-fire “chat or no chat” assessment of King’s former teammates—equal parts affectionate and brutally honest. It’s a sprawling, hilarious, and revealing conversation that captures everything Rig Biz does best: big personalities, bigger stories, and a proper session’s worth of rugby gold.
