Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Breakfast with Gary and Tim. The IMA trade-off. Questions without notice. For IMA. Protecting tradies and builders for over 35 years. Call 13IMA to get covered today.
Absolute legend, the Volk. A joy to talk to him and have a world champion come on and speak with such energy, enthusiasm. Sportsbetter are great supporters of ours. Organised the interview and he was an absolute joy. We're speaking my top five interviews.
He was. He was a gentleman. Pasquale out there thought that it was fantastic. Best guest that we've ever had.
Chapter 2: What are the highlights from Sam's interviews with athletes?
Must be another interview that you were talking about before because all you spoke about was the farm and training. Well, we have to appeal to a lot of people out there. Not everybody is a rusted-on UFC fan, but there are people out there learning about the sport for the first time, which might be a surprise to some people.
Do your homework, Pasquale. It's a massive part of his life, his farm life. So it's a very pertinent part of the interview. Huge part of his life. Oh, Lord. Welcome, Sam.
Hello, Gary. Hello, Tim. How are you going? Fine Australian athlete, isn't he, though?
He's a ripper. What about down to earth and humble? Yeah.
Nice bloke. I just heard the question without notice, Stinger. Question without notice. Is Victor Wembanyama, who is on every small screen in this studio at the moment, the most freakish athlete in world sport at the moment? Gary, I know you're a big watcher of the NBA.
I'm going to watch my first game tonight. Your first game? Yeah, 10.30, because my Knicks are in the finals.
First game of the playoffs. But don't be surprised, Sammy. This is unconfirmed at this stage. But don't be surprised whether or not they will be inspired by, we believe, that Andrew Gaze has sent a motivational video over there to the Spurs team that will be played in the dressing rooms prior to them running out against the Giants later this week.
Have you read theā¦ Not the Giants, the Knicks, I mean.
The Gaze, aren't they, called in the Herald Sun? I have not. I think, well, I'll sum it up. Essentially, credit's Casey with where the Spurs are today.

Chapter 3: How are the players' performances being evaluated this season?
Big member of the San Antonio fan base as well.
Big bandwagon, Trump. It's not like us rusted on Knicks fans.
Oh, yeah. What about Wemby, though, the alien? It's got to be the best nickname ever. That's his nickname. That's his nickname because he's 222 centimetres or thereabouts. He's got an eight-foot wingspan. He can play point guard. It's ridiculous dexterity he's got on the rim. He does stuff with that body that a body of that size just should not be able to do. He's a genuine freak.
You've never seen anything like it.
Never seen anything like it.
It's incredible to watch.
You're looking forward to watching that. What else are you looking forward to watching?
Hey, a couple of guys I'm looking forward to watching coming back this weekend. Cody Waitman's won on the straightback in 637 days. Last game in 2024. All sorts of issues with the knee. We know the congenital variation with the patella, two separate bones instead of the few single bone, all that sort of stuff. Anyway, Bevo welcomed him back at training yesterday.
You'll like this, Gary and Tim, in typical Bevo fashion.

Chapter 4: What are the implications of the upcoming AFL games?
Brandon Starcevic in as well. First game for West Coast at long, long last. And tonight, Hugo Horkhan will make his AFL debut for Adelaide. The aggressive runner-off halfback attacks the game. He's the nephew of the Melbourne Cup winning trainer. David Hall has taken one of the most unique paths to the top level. East Sandringham juniors, injured for four or five years as a kid.
Ends up getting taken by the Sydney Swans but doesn't play. Delisted a couple of years later, goes back to Williamstown, dominates in the first half of this year as a defender. And a week after being taken in the mid-season draft, he's going to make his debut for the Crows. So quite incredible.
Will be unbelievable. Have we struck a new medal? Or has this always been the Neil Danaher medal?
No, no, there's been a Neil Danaher cup or a Neil Danaher trophy that's sort of been, I don't know, you wouldn't say lost in the wash by any stretch. It goes to the best player on the day. But the AFL are looking now to institute something a little bit more meaningful, and that being the Neil Danaher medal. It will be awarded to a player on the day. Now, I'm not sure if it'll be the best player.
And it won't be a panel that's specially assembled like a lot of these awards. I think they're working on having the two coaches make a decision on this, maybe with input from the Danaher family or a Danaher family member on the day. So something quite unique as the AFL looks to institute something that, you know, to pay tribute to the late Neil Danaher ongoing.
So the qualities of Neil as a player.
maybe yeah i'm sure that i think the criteria is still being set but obviously big freeze at the g ready for its 12th staging uh and it awesome wasn't it yesterday i see jan yeah and back down to her follow in their husband and father's footsteps and across address the teams and i love beck saying he showed us that hope wasn't something that you wait for it's something that you create and it was
pretty emotional and I'm sure they felt the burden of having to do that and live up to what Neil had done annually and something that Neil absolutely loved doing but well done to Jan and Beck and not just the players too but the staff all the staff at both clubs the W programs as well all the AFL W players there it was a pretty huge event yesterday that one
Brilliant. Spot on. Some contract news at the Demons and the Hawks?

Chapter 5: What returning players is Sam excited to see this weekend?
Oh, I'm not writing another one.
I'll tell you right now. Hey, Brad Close dropped again. So just quickly, you wonder how much of that last play was a factor? Question without notice. Highlighted everywhere this week, the fact he didn't roll back. Mark Blitzell's had his head turned for a moment to cover his man when he was with Patrick Cripps. McGovern pulls the kick, Cripps marks.
I reckon that vision might have raised the ire of Chris Scott.
Yeah, I don't know if he's a one-incident dropper, Chris Scott, but maybe he is.
Well, when you haven't been set in the world on fire offensively and then that happens, it might have been.
Hey, yeah, we'll take some 830 news. Corey's going to join us as well. You've been absolutely outstanding as always, Sammy. We had a bit more time with the Volk.
Hey, that's perfectly fine. I was enjoying the Volk. Issue with the airtime? Take it up with the Volk. No issue at all with the Volk. I won't be saying anything to him. Good on you, Sammy.
