Chris Alchin grew up in Western Sydney with big ambitions and a double life. By day, he was breaking records in real estate. Behind the scenes, he was deep in a world of bikie clubs, drug trafficking and serious violence — a world that eventually caught up with him.

In this episode, Chris gives Neil an exclusive account of how a kid from Penrith with a strict father and a restless streak ended up at the centre of a drug network, the moment a trusted associate became his undoing and what it actually took to walk away — for good.

Jimmy Judge went from an angry kid in Townsville to Australian amateur boxing champion — then walked away from it all. Now he's a professional food challenge competitor with a growing online following, and he's about to step back into the ring.

Neil sits down with Jimmy to trace the full journey: a childhood shaped by his mum leaving when he was 11, boxing saving him from himself, winning the Australian title at 17 — then quietly losing the love for it. From bodybuilding to bouncing to the mines, Jimmy's path has been anything but straight. Now he's found his lane in competitive eating, and he breaks down exactly how it works — the water stretching, the flavour fatigue, the dehydration traps — after he and Neil tackled a challenge together the night before.

DCM. If you know, you know. For those who came of age on Oxford Street in the 90s and 2000s, the name alone brings it all back — the darkness at the top of those stairs, the lasers cutting through the smoke, the bass you felt before you even got through the door.

Neil sits down with two of DCM's own — a veteran doorman and a DJ who played the room in its prime — to dig into what made this Sydney nightclub unlike anything else. From the fear of getting past the door to the white parties, the boat nights, and the moment that screen dropped to reveal a sea of people losing themselves to the music, this is a proper oral history from people who lived it. And just when the nostalgia peaks, the conversation gets honest — about the reunions, the empty walls, and whether you can ever truly bring something like DCM back.
