Chapter 1: What are the weird comments from the World Cup?
The thing that's been on my mind the most this week that I have pushed very hard to get as a segment within the episode, but you only settled for a pre-dinner mint.
Well, we have to have standards around here. This didn't cut the mustard.
Of course it cut the mustard. Wait till the listeners find out. So the Logies are coming up in Australia.
Some local, they're like the best we have. They're our television award. They're our, yeah. Or is the best we have an actor?
Ah, good question. Look, yeah, they're like the Australian Emmys. Yeah. There are TV awards for our personalities. Now, if you are listening from overseas, what you need to know is there's a man in Australia, a sports presenter, commentator, journalist called Bruce McIverney. National icon. I would say he would genuinely be one of the most adored people in the country.
He is very well known for his Olympics commentary. So you can all understand Zara McDonald loves Bruce because Bruce has commentated the biggest Olympics moments.
He like rises to the challenge of big Olympic moments and commentates them with heart. Courage. He's an Olympian himself.
He puts words to the feeling Zara McDonald has.
Totally. So let the record show I am a Bruce McIverney stan. What I want the listeners to know is this year in the 2026 Logies, they're debuting a brand new category of award. Correct. What is it called? It's called the Bruce McIverney Award for Most Popular Sports Presenter.

Chapter 2: What is 'So Old It's New Again' about?
Yeah. Okay.
Thank you. Socceroos on 12 p.m. today.
The entire office is going to watch right now.
I don't know how many are interested, but I will be putting it on.
Belly, you're in the room, but you're not on mic. You are watching the World Cup with us and there is no option. I don't care about people's workload.
Well, Belly's on the edit for this episode, so if it's not out till 5pm now, you've been told bye. Okay, so in early June, Jeremy told Reuters, it depends on when it happens, but it's my first child, so I would definitely want to be there. If you ask me what I want, my answer is that nobody wants to miss the birth of their first child. I mean, that's a third. I'm sitting.
What about the third child?

Chapter 3: What was the controversy surrounding Neil Patrick Harris?
No, I agree with him. Now that I've given birth once... I definitely needed Mitch in the room for the first time doing it. Absolutely wanted him there.
Wait, you could go solo next.
I would happily have a sister. I think the first time is really different. I haven't given birth a second time, but I think it's such an unusual alien experience.
Yeah, you don't know what's coming.
You don't know what's coming. If this was their third child and he was like, well, I'm going to play and my wife is totally comfortable, I would understand that slightly more.
Oh, no, totally. I think just as a third child I was just wondering if my parents were happy to miss my birth or something.
Yeah.
Cool. Such is my, such is a lot of being fed. Okay. So according to the Reuters report, Jeremy is a star player.

Chapter 4: What are the men's icks for women?
That's not just us saying Jeremy's a star player. The piece read, Jeremy is one of the key elements of the Belgium side who opened the World Cup campaign against Egypt in Seattle on Monday. Plans for him to leave the United States and return home for the birth of his child are being put in place. So everyone's like, he's a really good player. He's going back to watch the birth of his child.
Country's hopes and dreams pinned on Jeremy.
Yeah. He left. He went back. He made it home to be with his wife for the birth of Praise. He wrote on Instagram, thank you to the team for the support. Now it's time to get back to football and represent my country on the biggest stage. Shireen and Praise are doing great. My heart is full of gratitude.
Chapter 5: What are the recommendations for shows this week?
Welcoming my son into the world is one of the greatest blessings God has ever given me.
That's so beautiful. It'd be tricky to be Shireen, though, and now have the baby back home solo. That's a lot for me to take on. 100%. So this should have been the end of the story. Yeah.
But no, some soccer fans were really annoyed by this entire thing. One of them was a French television journalist called France Perron. France Perron? Called France. Is that? And her first name is definitely France.
Sorry.
Sorry. Sorry. You're worried it's Frances, but we've written it as France.
No, her name is, she's French and her name is France. Any baby Australians out there. Yeah, I know. So this is France, Pierron, and she said on television in France, and this has been, sorry.
It's a France.
Bonanza of a sentence. Just France everywhere. She said on TV, you're leaving the World Cup to cut an umbilical cord. Hundreds of footballers would kill to be in your shoes. You're living out a childhood dream, yet you're going to walk away from an old to attend the birth of your child. A disgusting moment, if you'll pardon the expression, where the dad is completely useless. Holy shit. Yeah.
What the fuck? Mm-hmm.

Chapter 6: What happened with Jeremy Doku at the World Cup?
It sounds like they had some sort of tension on, I don't know.
Creative tension.
Maybe. He went on, it's not like an unresolved issue that I have or anything. I just remember being at craft service or something and you were personally just more like buddy-buddy with Jason Segel, who played Marshall, and we'd say hey to each other or whatever, but we were sort of doing different shows when we were filming it. I remember thinking, is Josh mad at me a lot?
Like, am I doing something to annoy him?
Josh essentially said that he was going through personal stuff at the time and none of it was intentional at all. Or conscious? I reckon. They don't like each other.
No.
Unless Josh doesn't like. It is kind of. Look, I can see from both ends. If Neil Patrick Harris has a particular talent for off-the-cuff comedy, I can understand why he goes in going, well, my talent is spit takes and my talent is improvisation. I can also understand from Josh Radner's point of view being like, we have a script. And it's a sitcom. It's a sitcom. Like.
When you do your spit take, it then. . . It kind of destabilises everyone else because we don't know where the fuck the script is going anymore or what we're doing.
Yeah, and there is something creatively fun about that, but it also definitely makes you the star of every scene because you take control of it. You take the spotlight. Mm-hmm. Anyway, I have thoughts about this. Other things I have thoughts on, if you're interested.
