Join Craig Hutchison and Damian Barrett for S5 Ep 17.

The Sounding Board is all thanks to Drinkwise - We’re all a little stressed and anxious at the moment. But remember, if drinking, please do so in moderation.

.00 - Discussion of Andrew Bogut’s not to resign with the Sydney Kings. Is it a worry for the NBL?

4.30 – Click Bait TV. 60 Minutes’s ratings grab under fire for promoting a ‘big health revelation’ by Kyle Sandilands to promote their exclusive interview with Kyle & Jackie O, that turned out to be a joke.

11.10 – The return of Spin City for Drinkwise - Hutchy is Clementine Ford. Defending her tweet saying “Honestly, the corona virus isn’t killing men fast enough”.

17.00 – Lots of venting happening in the media at the moment. Are we slipping back into our old ‘punch on’ mode again? Eddie McGuire v Neil Mitchell and Robbo for example.

20.00 – Peter V’landys. The flow on from his aggressive push to re launch NRL, a crack at the AFL and regrets for shutting down the competition at all.

28.30 – Why or Why Not? for Red Energy. Incredible innovation during COVID-19 by Australian musicians. Damo – Why can’t we have acoustic performances by great artists every game at the footy before crowds return?

32.30 – Discussion of the $60 billion miscalculation of the Job Keeper budget.

39.00 – Question of the Week for Social Status.

Alex Paltos via Twitter asks;

"Hi boys, long time listener, 1st time questioner - from China. Is there a misunderstanding/inconsistency with what's viewed as 'in the public interest' stories like Laidley compared with potential current player stories – for example the Jack Steven?

Feels like rules for some etc…pundits close ranks quickly/pick & choose. Thoughts?"

Social Media Marketing is more important than ever, visit SocialStatus.com.au, make sales or your money back!

42.30 – Should Boris Johnson sack Dominic Cummings for breaking lock down laws while suffering from COVID-19?

44.00 – Thoughts on Joe Biden saying ‘if you vote for Trump, you’re not black’. Uncomfortable comments for a man who had a lot of respect previously.
