The Freed Man Podcast

Tristan Freedman, Adam Aduckiewicz, Phil Haines

Part banter, part real talk. Welcome to our virtual beer garden (but truthfully, often with actual beer, or whisky, or even "hard" seltzer while we"re recording). The PHAT team discuss topics that are relevant, interesting and challenging to us as men: news, sports, social issues, disconnects between younger and older generations, being married, being single, having hair, not having hair (sorry Adz-man), being a dad, TV, video games, booze, food, travel (remember when that was a thing?) and did we

Season 2, Episode 3: Aus-vasion Day Special (Take 2)

2021/01/28

Well. We recorded a whole episode - which kid you not, we thought was probably our best - only for our computer to sh$t the bed and not save the audio. So the champions we are, we recorded again, albeit a little more intoxicated and sloppier. Luckily we had VBs and cheese & onion Smith's to get us through the 40 degree weather. Happy Australia/Unhappy Invasion Day everyone! Take two of this week's ep, and we get a bit discombobulated and end up doing Hold My Beer somewhere near the beginning. Plus

2021/01/21

The Freed Man Podcast manages to do two weeks in a row on time, a true miracle. We have our third sponsor (well to be fair, I kinda insisted I take the beer from my friend so he's a default sponsor), Phil and I both got Nintendo Switches from Santa, T nominates an actual lifesaving hero for Hero of the Week (but he still doesn't win) and Chappy forgot to ask, so we asked for him. We jump straight into Feats of Manliness, which this week marks a closing chapter in T's life, Adzo is an average dad,

2021/01/14

Thank the maker 2020 is over, now we can look forward to a great 2021! Not much has happened since we've been on break right? Borders are open and free, America is perfect and just, and NRL players are keeping it in their pants. We start with a welcome back, Phil is back in the Premier State, a brief summary of what's been happening, as well as our Feats of Manliness (00:20-18:03); next up it's our Hero and Dad jokes of the week, where Arnie features, Phil gets earthly and Bill and Ted strike back

December 24: Episode 10 - A Festivus for the Rest of Us

The Freed Man Podcast ·

2020/12/23

Christmas is cancelled, holidays are cancelled, Channukah is finished. So what better time than to air our grievances about State premiers, delivery services, online travel agencies and life in general. Phil made it across the border in time so we Zoom'd like champions (spoiler alert: Zoom sucks). We start - having already drunk considerably - by talking about how depressing life is then go into the first ever 'A Freed Man Festivus Airing of Grievances Special' - including a great solution to mass

2020/12/07

When Adam was in Melbourne and Phil was recovering from his 'procedure', I - along with guest host A Grunstein...no wait, that's too obvious...we'll call him Adam G - sat down with some bourbon in hand and spoke with our Brother from another Mother Ausmerican Brian Carey about all things America post-election and yes, we're still looking for some right wing friends! (0:00-28:15); we then had a big yarn about the all encompassing New York Times 25 Greatest Actors of the 21st Century list - including

Phil is Phil again (but he's no Greg Norman), Adzo went to Melbourne and ate a typical Jetstar meal and I saved the environment (0:00-15:27); Again we confuse ourselves in our Hero of the Week - David Prowse or Attenborough? Maradona or Cahill? (15:33-26:35); The Carroll Construction & Carpentry Wrap: Sam Carroll is our hotseat millionaire hero as we discuss monoliths in Utah, what the deal is with Chinese Tweets, the Simpsons foresaw the Denver Broncos and much more!

Instagram seems to think so. We throw in our nominations for Hero of the Week (16:14-23:06); TBA Wrap, and the Crown Australia ep looks nothing like Australia, Gladys isn't sticking to her own rules, Instagramming on the toilet is bad for you and we investigate VOTER FRAUD...in the NZ bird of the year awards (23:15-36:48);

Yes, we know Ep 2 appears to have been recorded before Ep 1, but we didn't know we would fuck up our audio, did we!? We start the pod with some chats about Donald getting the COVID, Gladys getting it on and manly feats of the week and also don't realise how long we're talking so we skip the TBA Wrap (0:00-16:05); somehow our Hero of the Week wasn't anyone we actually nominated (16:33-23:31); Adzo has a LOT of Sports to go through in the Sportsdown (23:42-61:13); strap in, cause we're drinking HARD
