🎵 🎵
This is The Sounding Board Podcast with Hutchie and Damo.
Chapter 2: What is the latest update in the Karl Stefanovic saga?
Thanks to DrinkWise. If you're choosing to have a drink, choose to DrinkWise. Nice to have your company on The Sounding Board for DrinkWise. If you're choosing to drink, choose to DrinkWise. We have an unusual record time on this show.
Chapter 3: What challenges is the BBL facing regarding privatization?
It's episode 15 of this, the 11th series of The Sounding Board, and it's unusual because it's a Monday afternoon, Craig Hutchison. Good afternoon to you.
Hello, Damo. It feels a bit early in the week to have formed a genuine view on anything, to be honest. Yeah. Yeah. Tuesday morning, seven o'clock's normally the right ending zone. Gives me a bit more mojo time just to shape a few things in my head. So I'm a little bit reactive today, but you've always got a good grip on the week's events.
Not sure about that, but you're not going to go wondering- Very difficult when the week hasn't happened yet.
And you're not going to go wondering with regards to the printouts we've got in front of us. I've never seen more hard copy stories that we need to refer to.
Chapter 4: How is AI impacting Hutchy's work and decision-making?
I've asked for a couple, but you've asked for, I think, five or six. Reminds me of Jeff Poulter's desk back at the Herald Sun, all these printouts and- Back of a napkin notes and everything you've got today, don't we?
There's a heap to get through.
Chapter 5: Who will be the next coach for Melbourne United?
There's a heap to get through and a couple of your hitting zones. Actually, let me bounce this off you before I even start. You were spotted today with the president or chair, I think it's president of the Essendon Football Club.
How have you spotted me there?
Chapter 6: What insights did Damo gain from his sit down with Craig Drummond?
What happens? I've got spotters everywhere. No, it's just a casual coffee and catch up today, Damo.
Chapter 7: What is the significance of Jay Clark's story on Jason McCartney?
Yeah, nothing particular to report there. Well, at least you didn't deny us. Is that because you're in the building for Apple.com and you've developed your own spies? It wasn't my own eyes. I'll have to address this as a – I'll have to put a cordoned off area for you if you are starting to – if you're starting to get intellect out of the building. No, I wouldn't do that.
You'll find yourself with your own door, your own exit, and your own restricted –
Sort of area.
Chapter 8: What are the implications of Austrac's investigation into Tabcorp?
I come in and get out as quickly as I can. I don't want to be in here, but we have to be in here, and the studios are very good. I like where we used to be at the AFL, but equally, your studios are very good here at Rainmaker.
They've been okay.
They're very good, yeah. And we actually had a special guest appearance from your good self this morning, Lordo and I. And Gabbo, we're in there at Court to Seven, and you wanted to pass. Just want to say g'day to Lordo, which was good. Not me. I was going to see you today anyway, so we're okay. Actually, now you mention that, you went straight to him and turned your back on me.
I was going to see you today at 1.30. There's only so much of you I can take. Plus, I wanted to start the day positively. I didn't want to feel like I needed to shower at 8 o'clock and drown in your cynicism. I didn't want to say, good morning, Damo, and you go, oh, yeah, rough weekend, this, this, and this. Yeah, see how I carry on. Why were you seeing Andrew Welsh?
Just literally been trying to catch up for ages. Right. Business or Essendon matters? A bit of everything. A bit of everything. Yeah? You invest in some housing property for starters? No. Can't afford to invest in Lego homes at the moment, Damo, but thank you for asking. Where would you like to start? There's a bit going on in the media scene.
There is. Yeah, there is. There's equally some big issues, Hutchie, at Tabcorp and the BBL. These are massive media stories, aren't they, I feel. They'll probably be a bit dry, maybe, for how we like to start our shows. Your rolling themes of this year, one of them has been the Carl Stefanovic... Did we say saga? Is it a saga as to what he does next year?
It probably has reached that proportion now. Yep. Yeah, you've been all across this, and he just goes from strength to strength, doesn't he? The specific storyline that will grab us today on the standing board was the... Story we both read, as per the posting of it in the WhatsApp, where he had made an agreement to appear on a Fox League program, NRL 360. Yes.
And was subsequently forced to say, no, I can't do that, and appear on a Channel 9 one. Yep.
Do you read a lot into that? Yeah, I do. I'm 90. I mean- If you put yourself in both parties' shoes for a moment, so he would have been a great guest for Matty. John's very on brand, very relatable. That audience would have been fabulous on that show. So they did the right thing in trying to get him on. And he's obviously got a fandom building around him or reigniting around him, I should say.
