Lee, Beccie B, and Searley are back in the studio for another chaotic, high-stakes installment of the George Sports Podcast, brought to you by the TAB. We’re dissecting a massive weekend of footy, from the highs of a 75k near-miss to the crushing lows of the Warriors' performance (and the subsequent "birthday multi" heartbreak).

Plus, we investigate the rise of "Etsy Witches" in Australian sports, debate the controversial Adam Pompey suspension in the George Sports Bunker, and celebrate a historic milestone for Kiwi basketball on the global stage.

Show Notes & Highlights

• [0:00] The "What Could Have Been" Multi: The crew recaps a brutal weekend of betting. We talk about the Warriors' letdown, the $50 bonus cash reset, and the legendary punter who almost turned $100 into $75,000 on a Manly Sea Eagles blowout.
