13.011 - 31.633 Craig Hutchison

Phil and Emil is the person we'll start with today on Question Time for the Sounding Board for DrinkWise. You won't miss a moment if you DrinkWise. Phil poses this to you, Hutchie. My mate's visa got denied to the States and there's no way I'm missing the AusUSA game. Do you have any advice for a solo traveller in Seattle? Any particular bars or events I should head to while I'm there?

0

31.893 - 47.328 Craig Hutchison

And yes, carry on only for the flight. I'll jump in, Phil. Hutchie is open to all Australians over in Seattle for this particular game to make contact with him via the very accessible access points on social media for Hutchie. So there's one option for you, mate, or for you.

Chapter 2: What advice does Hutchie give to Socceroos fans traveling to the US?

48.569 - 68.114 Damian Barrett

Any others, Hutchie? Phil, there's a heap of touring Australian groups, and they'll just Google them. There's a bunch of tours. I think the Fanatics are one, and there's others. All their movements will be online. I would really be crushing those parties. If you're wearing a yellow shirt, it would be like dressing as a policeman at a police parade.

68.134 - 73.341 Damian Barrett

No one will know the difference if you're in colour. I would just be integrating into their events as if you're one of the tourists.

Chapter 3: What should solo travelers in Seattle know before their trip?

73.361 - 88.303 Damian Barrett

Just crushing. Well, people, no one does a head count and ticks off who's there and who's not on those tours. It's just a folding job, so... Now, integrate, blend in, buy someone a beer at the bar, and then sure enough, you're on the tour.

88.323 - 91.308 Craig Hutchison

And if you see Hutchie, I'm sure he'll buy you one too.

91.328 - 117.986 Damian Barrett

I would just join that tour, Phil. I'm all done on the carry-on. Yeah. Excellent work. It was a pretty big carry-on job for me this time. I had to get a fairly decent stint inside one bag, so it was heavy. And just as a precaution, I didn't think it would come up, but I did do the whole hide the bag at the airport routine. And when they realized I had one bag, I wasn't checking.

0

118.026 - 137.814 Damian Barrett

They said, you need to weigh your bag. And sure enough, I produced the laptop. It's just the fake bag. They weighed the laptop. Oh, yeah, nothing wrong with that. I put the laptop back out of the arm. The next customer gets served, and I grab the bag from around the side. Take it off, which is clearly too heavy. And off I go.

137.834 - 155.093 Craig Hutchison

Too good. Adam on X. Boys, has there ever been an assistant coach in the history of the game who hasn't been referred to as, quote, highly regarded in the context of a senior coach vacancy story? And is it a sure way to tell which journos have an existing relationship with that said coach? Well, yeah, it is, Adam.

155.113 - 158.777 Damian Barrett

We did a whole episode on this, the whole worthy assistant routine. Yep.

159.196 - 160.218 Craig Hutchison

They're all highly regarded.

160.879 - 161.861 Damian Barrett

They're all highly regarded.

162.061 - 185.616 Craig Hutchison

Yep. There's footy managers who are highly regarded as well. Trev on X. And recruiters. And recruiters. And also agents. Agents have always got their full company name. That's right. They do too. Trev on next. For next year's Hall of Fame, will Foxtel be asking Crown to serve meals on plastic plates? The sound of cutlery smacking crockery during Bill Walker's elevation was just horrible TV.

Chapter 4: Why do assistant coaches always seem 'highly regarded' in vacancy stories?

516.423 - 521.308 Damian Barrett

No, that would be an option. Yeah. There's many options. I think it's a long way away. Okay.

0

521.328 - 538.706 Craig Hutchison

That was – There are many options. Yeah. I agree with you, it being a long way away. And I don't think some people have got their heads around what is going to happen financially when the 19th licence does come in on so many fronts. But as far as we know, they are committed to it being the case in 2028. That was Question Time on the sounding board for DrinkWise.
