Touchdowns & Tea Breaks is the weekly sports show where two Aussie-American brothers unpack the biggest stories from both sides of the Pacific.
One of us was born in the U.S., the other in Australia, both raised in an American home in Sydney, shipped off to the States for high school because of sport, and forever living back and forth between the two countries. We grew up with NBA posters on the walls, State of Origin on the TV, and Denver Broncos games playing at ridiculous hours of the morning.
Fluent in both sporting cultures, we dive into everything from NFL drama to NRL chaos… from NBA storylines to Test cricket epics… and everything in between.
With mixed accents, strong opinions, and a lifetime of brotherly banter, we break down the weekend that was, and the week that’s coming, across every code we grew up loving.
If you’ve ever watched an NFL game at 5 a.m., shouted at an umpire for calling a no-ball, explained cricket to Americans, or tried to convince Aussies the NFL is actually strategic… this is your show.
Two brothers.
Two nations.
One sports obsession.
