Chapter 1: What can listeners expect from the return of The Circus?
Yes, that's right. The Circus is returning this week on Wednesday afternoon. You can get in all the usual audio places and you can find it on YouTube by searching The Circus with Pez and Higos. If you want to get behind us on Instagram, the handle is It's The Circus Pod. It's colder than ever. It's more sizzling than ever. It's more spikes on cement than ever. It's more boys actually than ever.
Pezza.
All I want to say as we deliver this preview to the people, 48 hours out from the circus returning for what is clearly second season syndrome, is that finally, and I think I speak on behalf of Australia, finally the opiate of footy will be delivered intravenously and directly into the bloodstream of Australians, thoroughly masking any issues that
that are currently occurring in the summer hobby that we call cricket. Tennis. Sorry, tennis? Yeah. It's a festival. It's February. Several items are getting me hot. Several items are boiling my blood. I'd like to bring a few to the table just to whet the appetite, if you will. Sure, if there's a segment called It's a Watch... I couldn't say. I couldn't say. And I won't be saying it.
Chapter 2: How is Australian football evolving this season?
If it wants to be sponsored by a timepiece, get in touch. But we obviously... I mean, Australians are frozen in record-breaking winter Olympics gold at the moment. That's been a nice thing, as we've waited for footy season to start. But footy season's starting, so we're looking at 2K time trials. We're looking at... Sam Mitchell's use of AI, which has been covered comprehensively.
We're actually this year, luckily, looking at ā and I'm keen on your views here ā in Australian rules football, 16 footy shows on each week on TV in the AFL, um, including three, um, agenda setters shows. That's right. Right. Uh, so that's Monday, Wednesday and Friday. You'll be able to see agenda setters on channel seven this year.
So, um, as far as I can understand, you, you set the agenda on Monday, you prosecute the agenda, um, the following day and then you reset that agenda on Wednesday and so on and so forth.
And in between you'll be executing that agenda.
That's right. Prosecute, execute the agenda, but that agenda will be prosecuted and executed before it is once again reset. Some say fish and chip paper, not me. Now, they used to set it once a week, that agenda, but they figured out that if you did it three times a week, you stack that up over a year. You're toast.
Yeah.
I'm very interested in ā you might have caught this. I'm very interested in SEN's movers and shapers list in Australian rules football this year. Some very curious shifts in the rankings there. The AFL captain's gathering is today. I don't know if you've seen the footage of it, but they seem to be standing in full kit inside a shopping precinct. That could have been AFL house.
One and the same. Am I right? Retail politics. Now, The Age unveiled their A-graders today. Now, there's only 31 in 2026. And according to Sam McClure, quote, that says it all. No room for Palestine peers. The NRL's going to Vegas. That's making it a trilogy. And as far as I understand, there's more interest in the States than ever, as far as I can see.
Spurs are going to get relegated, and Andrews on stick to football. Buzz Rothfield released his 50 best sporting moments. So there are a couple of things just to whet the appetite.

Chapter 3: What role does AI play in Australian rules football this year?
Yeah, it really jogs the algorithm. Just, yeah. Thank God Medicare gives you 10 sessions on that. No, yeah, boys actually is back. Correct our mistakes. Obviously, you know, we're cricket natives, not so much the other sports, and this is your opportunity just to show us where we might have made a few errors here and there.
Now, that ended up developing into a massive brawl between doctors and nurses. It's funny how these things evolve.
Yeah.
But we'll be taking it down the same path. I did put it out there on... It's amazing, this segment. People can correct you when you haven't even said anything this season yet.
Chapter 4: What are the major changes in footy shows on TV?
But I did put it out there on our Patreon. Join us at TGC Raw if you want. I said, look, I know we've not said anything about the footy season yet, but we're reintroducing boys, actually. Just let us know what you think. Still plenty of people correcting me. Okay. So... First one came in. Boys are covering the pro-kabbadi leg to keep the Indian bunts coming in. Question.
Ben Stokes in a puppy wrote in. In a, as in I double N E R, not inside a puppy. Yeah, got it. Okay, but tell us why Chuck was kicked out of the Chrissy party early. Now, that's news I hadn't heard of. I thought they might have been referring to Charlie Kerner, Chuck Kerner. I don't know if that's the case, but I don't know. Is there something that needs to be dealt with there?
Are you on here, Chuck? Not that I'm aware of. We're closing ranks around Charlie's behaviour at our Christmas party? Yeah. I'm happy to close ranks. Charlie wasn't invited to the Christmas party. Exactly, the after party. Yeah, I'm not sure what that is. Okay. I was saying Joe Buone says, I absolutely cannot wait for an in-depth analysis of the Las Vegas Nines and the repercussions therein.
And Rabada's dealer, I don't know what that means, but boys, actually, it's important to understand Petrarca went to the Gold Coast to grow his brand and get out of the footy bubble.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And how this show starts, well, that segment starts, is just one mispronunciation of a basketball player ends in the correct use of an EpiBen.
But really, I mean, I cannot wait for this season of the circus. We reserve the right to pull the pin on it whenever we want around final season, so we get a little break, and I won't resolve from that. But the fact is that this is really the true opiate of the Australian masses. Cricket is a hobby that happens for a couple of weeks during summer, and the rest is just IPL stuff.
And it's more and more heading that way. In fact, our summers will soon be IPL. With any luck. With any luck, that's right, for the players and the MOU. But... But as for everybody else, that's just something to keep us busy. It's a little accoutrement in between. The real stuff is when the drawbridge goes up, and I can't remember the rest of those words, but it's just footy season.
And it's NRL, it's AFL, it's peripheral stuff after that. It's just a big old duopoly in Australia, and it's what people discuss around the water coolers. And Charlie has some snobby things to say about Australian football. We'll make sure that happens. We're going to have guests this year as well. Yeah, already some lined up.
Speaking of one this afternoon, don't know why I'm keeping it a secret, but I reserve that right too.
