Pointless

The team keeps one eye on the Seine tonight watching for anything unsavoury to pop up in the triathlon while we talk up the Giants and try to ignore the Blues and Pies.  Does anybody read this?  I don't think so.  I've never had a comment on it.  Not even from Martin or Gemma. Or Anth, Sime, Jess, Kate or Alex.  Neither from Ness, Rach, Sam or Charlie.  Oh well.  Not the end of the world.

In this week's episode, we have a guest!  One of Martin's sons, Tim joins us again to report back on the worm population of the MCG and questions whether in fact a worm has ever been burned.  Dom tries to avoid talking about last week's match and we explore the fascinating world of Collingwood's "aura" and manage to use the word "synesthete" for the first time ever recorded.  Other stuff in there too like Wushu at the Olympics - we even talk about other footy teams.  It's a long one but as hardly anyone (including us) ever listen we thought, what the heck?  Over to you!

This week we again have our microphones, so you can actually understand, well hear us.  Gemma is very sad, Martin is less sad but very unhappy with the umpires, but Dom loves football and can't see anything wrong with any of it (da da da da daaa).  We talk Wimbledon, US politics, sloths, New Zealand and AI.  Oh and there's a bit on footy - like whether a dishonourable win is worse than an honourable loss...?

Wimbledon Special:  nothing to do with tennis but in June Dom caught up with a couple of English mates (who he used to play tennis with in Wimbledon - there you go) to talk jargon from the "other" football.  Thanks to Paddy and Mark for coming out on a Monday night!

After a three (four?) week break we are back and getting over-excited about the range of thuds and contextual featherings from round 14 (or was it 15?)  Gemma is trying to make sense of the low smileometer readings coming from the West and Martin tells endless pathetic anecdotes about Collingwood.  Thank goodness Dom is there to talk sense about not one but THREE alternative ladders.  You know you need them

Great news - no late changes and in fact we are all in person for only the second time!  The sound is still sh-t despite all our best efforts but you would expect nothing less.  We go deep into featherings and trolling flaps, with another live cross to the fishing boat and examine the Collingwood-Freo draw, deciding whether Collingwood plucked defeat from the jaws of victory or Freo did it the other way around.  One thing for sure - we had an absolute blast doing this one!

Another late change.  Out: Martin.  In: Gemma. Which was great news as neither of us felt like talking footy at all after last week, and especially not with a gloating Collingwood fan.  So we talked fishing.  Sadly the discussion did weave its way back to footy, with some great insights into the Tennis Ladder, lots of thuds, the concept of GWS having an Underhang and importantly - some outstanding feathering.  Over to you!

Late change this week with Gemma unwell forcing us to use the Medical Sub early and we were pretty pleased with ourselves we have to admit...  Martin and I are joined by  David Rowell, father of the Gold Coast Suns superstar Matt, live from Darwin.  We get the inside word on what's happening in Darwin including playing in basically 100% humidity and rumours of new guernseys for the Suns.  Naturally we also try again to explain the tennis ladder and talk about Sunday Beltings.  Enjoy!

To celebrate double-digit podcasting, this week the three of us are reunited and hitting the big topics in the AFL - not just whether Luke Beveridge will last past the weekend (everyone is covering that), but the important things like are there actually any worms living in the MCG turf?  Who has a Yip Predisposition?  Are Thuds contextual?  And if you don't come to earth with a Thud, is it more like falling gently to earth like a... feather??  Sorry about the length - we couldn't shut Martin up after Collingwood's win last week...
