Chapter 2: What does Victor Wembanyama's rise mean for basketball?
Yep. Have we got another World Cup bid in, Asachi, as a nation? Yep. Okay. Yep. 2.38, here we come. Take out your brown paper bags. Yeah, you'll need a fair few of those. Let's get the FIFA bid sorted. How's it going to work? Because you're in the States as we speak, not for World Cup soccer reasons, but I believe you are going back there for those reasons. How is it being received over there?
Because I've seen a few articles, or in fact a lot of articles, about the ticket prices being just not touched by the consumer, but they're coming down in price. It'll be monstrous, the World Cup here.
Chapter 3: How is the merging of Melbourne Stars and Melbourne Renegades viewed?
Absolutely monstrous. Okay. Yeah, can't wait for it. Yep. It's an amazing event. Yeah, I know that, but it did seem to be initially overpriced. I think there's been all sorts of speculation about manipulating the markets and all those things from various individual external parties, but all I can tell you is there's a huge demand for tickets and they are expensive, very expensive. Okay, yep.
I still can't see a world where Pauline Hanson is Prime Minister. I know the polls suggest she's tracking well, but I just cannot have a world where that happens.
Chapter 4: What are the implications of radio shows being syndicated on TV?
Surely that can't happen, can it? I would have said, was it 20 years ago that Pauline Hanson was in jail for her efforts? And now 11 weeks in jail and now she's in the most popular political leader in the country. It's an unbelievable reflection of where we are as a society, isn't it? Yep. Radio being syndicated on TV, even with people on different stations. Yes, to Sam Watson's point.
It is only the tip of the iceberg. Agent 16 is the original, so they're all going to follow Agent 16's footprints from here. And Victor Wembinyama, I'm well aware of who he is, Archie, but I just cannot get involved or too excited about anything to do with NBA at the moment, so that's why I only gave that one six.
Chapter 5: Could Pauline Hanson become Australia's next Prime Minister?
The Knicks versus Wemby, huge, Damo, huge, huge. You might even sneak a – you'll sneak one of those games, won't you, I reckon, seeing you're over there? It doesn't quite fit my World Cup schedule. I wouldn't rule you out. But – A, it wouldn't rule me out either. B, game six at Cosman Dallas looms large. Actually, that would be a better experience than the game itself. Actually, yeah.
That's your move. It goes to game six.
Chapter 6: What are Australia's chances of hosting the 2038 FIFA World Cup?
That's the move.
That's your move. Game one's tomorrow, Hutchie. Surely you can get to San Antonio.
It's only – have a look at that. It's three hours away on plane, but my workday here is too vast, doubly. I cannot make a selfish decision to leave the tools of the job here. The tools of the job. As I look down the screen and there's this beautiful skyline in Vegas with leafy backdrop to where you are – Mumbo Italiano playing as we introduce you today, Hutchie.
You're about to have a big steak. That was it. Well done. Thank you for the scorecard on the sounding board for Drinkwise. If you're choosing to drink, choose to Drinkwise.
