This is an ABC podcast. Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, jet ski loons looking for a picnic to splash and fat tyre e-bike rodeo clowns creating untold mayhem on footpaths across the nation. Our great code stands on the precipice of international sporting greatness! So, with soul in the shorts, feeling in the feet, and joy in the jumper, it's time to bump, it's time to thump, it's time to sink the slipper! Let's pull the cord on the Evinrude two-stroke and set off for the far horizon. It's another blast of bludgeoning on the blindside with the master of midfield mayhem rampaging Roy Slavin and the man with a fistful of bait and burly, Captain Flathead, HG Nelson.
Yes, dear much. Cedric Espen Sump, a.k.a. The Drain, torching the blindside blue paper for another week. It's the familiar sound of the Sumpster. Sure, there's been a couple of by-rounds, but the Sumpster, he's come in every week to practice, and it's certainly showing off today. Very good fresh up after a spell is the Sumpster. He's camped in the ABC Sports Soundproof booth, and on this ABC local radio. And remember, Friday night is dog night. here on ABC Local Radio. HG Nelson lifting the lid on another week of magnificent, another magnificent week, should I say, of consenting concussion magic, highlighted in Four Corners on Monday night. The consenting concussion magic came to the fore and they got, they teased a show out of it.
It was just magic. What a week, what an incredible week. A week when, can I dare, can I, you know, refresh the phrase and say it with much enthusiasm, when too much sport is barely enough. It's a Super Saturday here at ABC Sport. Aussies from start to stumps. Look, I can't do better than this. It's beyond awesome on its way to fully sick. That's the Super Saturday we have before us. This is a trip of the lifetime. Happy July the 4th. Happy 250th if you're of that persuasion. What a week. Before we get to the rugby league and the rugby leak. I know I speak on behalf of all Australians when I say how proud I was of Popovich's people's work in Dallas this morning at 4am. The Socceroos were up against the Pharaohs.
You've obviously got up with the news or caught up with the news. And remember the Pharaohs, they have 5,000 years of international football experience to draw on. We only have about 10. So we're at a bit of a, you know, starting from a bit behind the Pharaohs. Look, I thought I've got to do something. I've got to do something special. I'm not there, I'm not in Dallas, but I've got to put in. So I stood naked and saluted with a sloop pointing north for the entirety of the clash. It was a fair effort, I might say. Certainly my contribution didn't go unnoticed. I had a couple of texts from the team after the... Final hooter! And they thanked me for my help. After all, this was a clash that I believe, this clash defined our country and pointed us in the direction of our great future.
And I wasn't disappointed, really. I mean, I felt, even though I was standing naked new with the sloop pointing north, et cetera, I felt as though the nation was united as never before. Now, I know certain politicians are trying to divide us, but that's what I felt. That was my impression. And Aussies, now is the time to push on and get those... We'll get up behind those projects that have been on the drawing boards for a few years, like, say, the Sydney to Newcastle Very Fast Train, the Dubbo to Darwin Canal, the Stumpy Boone Entertainment Complex and the Tassie Tunnel. I think we could get them done now. That big four that I've outlined just there, they're projects that will define who we are where we're going and how we're going to get there.
It's a great result for the code today. The national team, all the players, hardworking, stressed out parents and kids of tomorrow all put in and did their bit as I hopefully did as well. Sadly, the result didn't go our way, but that's football. It's probably the cruelest of sports. It's the one that requires the most emotion and the emotion can disappear and be deflated in an instant.
