Rescuing the World Cup fan experience and a Met Gala debate
07/05/2026 | 27 mins.
The FIFA World Cup is a month away and already we're having things taken from us: at the time of recording, the Melbourne Arts Precinct Corporation had announced there would be no more live matches shown at Fed Square in Melbourne, scene of some iconic moments (see Mathew Leckie's goal celebrations in 2022). But then, on Thursday afternoon we had breaking news - Premier Jacinta Allan intervened to overturn the decision and bring the games back to Federation Square. We debate why it matters so much to Aussie fans. Also this week it was our Super Bowl - the Met Gala. It was an event bankrolled by billionaires with questionable ethics; should we be having such lavish displays of wealth with the world in its current state? We discuss it, but also there's no getting away from the incredible fits - who was giving ‘hot parrot’? Why did we see what looked like a Dotti dress from 2014? Never fear, we make an attempt to link it all back to sport (where was Lewis Hamilton?).

GWS Giants coach Adam Kingsley on that famous half-time spray, Taylor Swift vs Slipknot and his coaching philosophy
04/05/2026 | 21 mins.
Ever since Georgie saw him do something strange on a flight from Melbourne - something that sparked a big debate - he's been an unofficial third host of this podcast. He's also coach of the GWS Giants, a former premiership player with Port Adelaide, and an all-round excellent sport. Adam Kingsley gives us a look behind the curtain at the Giants, the truth behind that famous half-time spray, and his motivations for coaching after a successful career as a player. We get the logic behind the infamous stand-up desk he fashions for himself on flights, the story from his playing days where he was told he “cost Port a premiership”, and why his old teammates still won’t let him forget it. Plus, life outside footy: Taylor Swift, Slipknot, and long-lost Greek restaurants.

A week of bad sports: the AFL Appeals Board, an Aussie Olympian and Scott Pendlebury's arts and crafts project
30/04/2026 | 29 mins.
Abbey has too many bad sports this week, so we're supplementing Good Sport, Bad Sport with a new segment: Ab-solutely Not. One of them is the reaction to Lance Collard’s ban in the AFL; the handling of the case by the appeals board was completely at odds with the ‘zero tolerance’ messaging the AFL says it lives by. Then it's Scott Pendlebury's special golden guernsey - whose idea was that? And also this week, Aussie Olympian Ryan Gregson was on the For The Kudos podcast and made some pretty outrageous comments. We’d never heard the term ‘getting chicked’ before, but are we having misogynistic comments like that? Ab-solutely not. For someone whose own partner is an outstanding athlete and marathon runner herself, it was a very disappointing comment. Plus in the NRL, the new PNG team the Chiefs are going big on the recruitment. One of those is West Tigers’ Jarome Luai – he’ll join the new team after the 2027 season on a $1.2 million a season deal. And it’s tax free. But Jarome says he’s not going there for the money and it’s going to make a difference to a lot of people. Who’s going to follow him next? And why aren’t the new Perth Bears making such big moves? Never fear, there is a good sport: shout out Millie Elliot – playing Game 1 of State of Origin yesterday, just 6 months after having a baby. Incredible.

Adam Gilchrist on keeping for Warnie, elite sledges and finding the best tequila on Earth
27/04/2026 | 32 mins.
He's one of our best and most beloved cricketers, one who revolutionised the keeper position. He was a wicket keeper with a strike rate of 92 in Ashes Tests, the first player to hit 100 sixes in Tests, and won three consecutive World Cups - and that's just the accolades we've put here, trust us there are plenty more. We chat with Gilly about his incredible career, what it was like having the best seat in the house as Warnie and McGrath bowled some of the best spells we've ever seen, celebrations and sledges, and how life after cricket looks when you've got your own tequila brand.

Is it time for a Mental Health Round in the AFL?
23/04/2026 | 26 mins.
Geelong's Bailey Smith opened up discussion this week around the AFL's responsibility to its players and their mental health. Is it time for a Mental Health Round? Plus, Gout Gout, our own answer to Usain Bolt and arguably the most exciting prospect we've seen in sprinting in recent years, kept the comparison alive by doing something crazy at the Under-20s championships in Sydney (it wasn't just the fact he broke yet another record). We discuss his future, the hype, and what's next. And the injuries keep on coming in the NRL: Georgie is annoyed, but it does mean potential good news for the upcoming State of Origin.
