This week on The KOKO Show we travel back to Ancient Greece, in order to rock the fuck out of a toga and understand what it is about the Olympics that gets the boys a smidgen hot under the saddle blanket. In a quest for experimentation and self-growth this show is going to try something a little different this week and tackle the giant that is the Paris Olympics. We touch on all the Rugby Sevens news from the first few days of competition, highlighting the valiant efforts of the ‘Golden Guys’, the role of Dupont in France’s golden glory and how the Aussie Women are shaping up for world domination.
Plus, the boys get out of their comfort zone as we dissect plenty of other amazing Olympic performances and the fellas pick their favourite moments from the 33rd games so far. We know Paris is famous for angry waiters, a metal tower and bloody big roundabout with an arch, but Mr Holiday Swoop lifts the lid on his must hits and naughty nooks you have to see when you visit the ‘City of Love’.
To cap off this très bien episode we get the competitive juices flowing with an Olympic sized quiz, filled to the brim with gold standard questions, as the boys fight it out for spots on the podium. So heat up your croissants, chalk up your mits and get your hands off ya batton, we are about to go full send on this triple pike of a podcast and of course we always stick the landing. It’s time for Kick Offs and Kick Ons.
