THE KOKO SHOW IS BACK and this week we've brought in some serious front-row firepower, with Springboks legend and two-time Rugby World Cup winner STEVEN KITSHOFF joining the show! The big red unit jumps on the couch with the boys to talk all things Springboks, scrums, World Cups and life after footy — plus, with one of rugby's most famous redheads in the building, there was only one thing to do… THE GREAT KOKO REDHEAD QUIZ!

We break down where the Test was won and lost, the standout performances and what it means as these two heavyweight nations continue their epic battle for southern hemisphere supremacy.Across the ditch, the BLACK FERNS got the better of the WALLAROOS, and the lads unpack where Australia fell short and what needs to change as the Wallaroos continue their push to close the gap on their Kiwi rivals.Then we turn our attention to a HUGE challenge for the Wallabies with a FULL ARGENTINA v WALLABIES PREVIEW. We look at the key match-ups, players to watch, where the Wallabies can hurt Los Pumas and exactly what Australia needs to do to get the job done in Argentina.Of course, it wouldn't be KOKO without a little bit of chaos away from the rugby.

A quite incredible opening to the Greatest Rivalry Series has seen New Zealand outlast South Africa 33-16 at Ellis Park in Johannesburg. In what could well be an instant classic in this stories rivalry, the All Blacks scored 5 tries in 1 despite being at times dominated by the Springboks' set piece game, before the scoreboard pressure simply became too much for the home side, silencing the parochial home crowd in the process. Plenty for both teams to work on ahead of next weekend's 2nd Test in Cape Town, but wow, what a way to start the series. #rugby #rugbypodcast #89Rugby #GreatestRivalry #RSAvNZL #Springboks #AllBlacks Find us on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and wherever else you get your podcasts Social media: search for ‘8/9 Rugby' on Twitter, Bluesky, LinkedIn, and on Instagram, too And please do check out and subscribe to 8/9 Rugby on Substack: https://89rugby.substack.com/ Find Brett on both Twitter and on BlueSky: @BMcSport Music: "Up Above" by Letter Box (via YouTube Creator Studio) Learn more about your ad choices.

Rugby's Greatest Rivalry kicks off in earnest on *TODAY at Ellis Park in Johannesburg, when South Africa and New Zealand meet in the first of four test matches.

Rugby's Greatest Rivalry is here. South Africa host the All Blacks at Ellis Park this Saturday in the opening Test of their huge four-match series. As you'd expect, it's not exactly been a relaxed build-up to this monster series, with both Rassie Erasmus and Dave Rennie using the media to spin things in their favour. Dan Cole is joined by double World Cup-winning Springbok prop Steven Kitshoff for an unrivalled insight into the South African preparations as they prepare to face their greatest rivals.

We've arrived at the big show. The All Blacks are coming face to face with the Springboks for the first time on Rugby's Greatest Rivalry Tour, clashing at Ellis Park 3am Sunday Morning. Ardie Savea, Cam Roigard, and Will Jordan are making their first appearances of the tour in the match, and Damien McKenzie is returning from an injury. Codie Taylor is starting as hooker, and told Mike Hosking there's a great belief in the squad that they can win. He says they're playing a great side who know how they want to play the game, but the All Blacks have found their identity and play style too. "If we can get a couple of good opportunities, I feel like we can have a good crack at the series." LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

All Blacks attack coach Mike Blair joins ARP before the first test against the Springboks to discuss what New Zealand have learned from their three warm-up games in South Africa.Blair explains what has developed, where the biggest challenges will come from and how the All Blacks are preparing to deal with South Africa's pressure.Catch all our content across @aotearoarugbypodofficial channels Hosted on Acast.

The All Blacks have won all three warm-up games in South Africa, but one of the Springboks' most effective weapons has barely been faced. Coincidence — or was that always part of South Africa's plan?

Rugbynuus word oorheers deur vandag se wedstryd tussen die Blou Bulle en die All Blacks op Loftus Versfeld in Pretoria. Dit is die derde wedstryd in die All Blacks se Suid-Afrikaanse “Rugby's Greatest Rivalry”-toer, en dien as 'n opwarming voordat Nieu-Seeland teen die Springbokke speel. Die Bulle se hoofafrigter, Johan Ackermann, het met Kosmos 94.1 Nuus gesels:

Die All Blacks se volgende, en derde kragmeting in die Rugby's Greatest Rivalry-toer is Saterdag teen die Bulle in Pretoria, voor volgende naweek se eerste toets teen die Springbokke op Ellispark. Tot dusver is hulle onoorwonne. Die president van die Suid-Afrikaanse Blou Bulle, Willem Strauss sê hulle is opgewonde om die All Blacks hierdie Saterdag te pak ná 50 jaar op Loftus. Strauss het eksklusief met Kosmos 94.1 Nuus gesels.

Rugby: Die All Blacks se afrigter, Dave Rennie, sê spelers kan steeds die groep haal vir die eerste toets teen die Springbokke, afhangende van hulle vertoning teen die Bulle. Hy het ʼn sterk groep aangewys vir môre se kragmeting op Loftus, maar sê dit verskil aansienlik van die een vir volgende Saterdag se toets op Ellispark. Rennie erken hy het 'n dilemma met posisies soos skrumskakel, slot, losvoorspeler en vleuel:

Richie Mo'unga is en route to Africa. The mercurial Mo'unga has been called into the All Blacks squad following a tour ending injury to midfielder Billy Proctor. Sports reporter Jonty Dine spoke to Melissa Chan-Green.

Less Kiss and his staff have rung the changes for the second test against Japan. How much is it squad rotation and how much is a changing of the guard? The all Blacks are in South Africa and the Springboks played Argentina, we cover them all and as always do some shouting at clouds. As always, we hope you enjoy.

Die Bulle-afrigter, Johan Ackermann, sê hulle sien uit na die geleentheid om Saterdag op Loftus Versfeld teen die All Blacks kragte te meet. Die Bulle moes hulle voor-seisoen verdeel om hierdie eenmalige wedstryd te speel, omdat hulle gewoonlik pas sou terugkeer van hul blaaskans tussen seisoene. Die All Blacks het die Stormers en die Haaie verslaan in hulle twee openingswedstryde van die Rugby's Greatest Rivalry-toer. Ackermann sê hy sou graag sommige spelers wedstryd-fiks wou kry:

All Blacks coach Dave Rennie has his wish - being able to call up Richie Mo'unga for the Greatest Rivalry tour of South Africa. With two matches for Canterbury in the NPC under his belt after returning from Japan, Mo'unga has been given the go-ahead to replace the injured Billy Proctor. Sportstalk host D'Arcy Waldegrave explained further. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The All Blacks are continuing to find the balance between physical dominance and a wide-ranging, up-tempo approach. The tourists' efforts up front were significantly more impressive during the 54-nil win over the Sharks in Durban, compared to their scratchy first-up win over the Stormers.

The All Blacks are set for their second outing in South Africa. Dave Rennie's men will meet the Sharks in Durban on Wednesday in the second of four franchise matches in the republic. Sports reporter Jonty Dine spoke to Melissa Chan-Green.

The new law in Massachusetts allowing abortion to birth is a Moloch law, and AOC's decision to freeze her eggs is a weird, creepy, anti-woman way of announcing a run for president, but those topics are so obviously awful that they didn't leave a lot of scope for me. Instead, I wanted to discuss how an unearthed video of Hasan Piker just a few years ago perfectly illustrates the non-black Muslim disdain for blacks. You don't have to look far for examples, since Muslims ran parts of the African slave trade for 1,200 years, and uncounted millions of Blacks vanished into the Muslim world as slaves.

HOUSE OF THE DRAGON Season 3 Finale Recap — “The Treasons at Tumbleton”The Dance of the Dragons reaches a devastating turning point in the Season 3 finale of House of the Dragon, “The Treasons at Tumbleton.”In this episode, we break down everything that happened in the finale, from the brutal Battle of Tumbleton and the shocking betrayal that changes the course of the war, to Rhaenyra's increasingly ruthless rule, Helaena's tragic fate, and the return of Aegon II and Sunfyre.FULL SPOILERS FOR SEASON 3 AND FIRE & BLOOD.We start with Tumbleton, where the forces of the Blacks and Greens finally collide. The battle quickly descends into chaos as dragonriders turn on one another and Ulf the White's betrayal completely changes the outcome. We'll break down the battle, Ormund Hightower's final stand, Roddy the Ruin's role, and the devastating consequences for both sides.We'll also examine some of the finale's biggest departures from George R.R. Martin's Fire & Blood. The show has significantly altered the stories of Ulf the White and Hugh Hammer, changed the circumstances surrounding Tumbleton, and restructured several major characters and events. What do these changes tell us about where the series is ultimately headed?Rhaenyra's storyline takes an especially dark turn. As her desperation to win the war grows, so does her willingness to use fear and violence. Her confrontation with the High Septon and her claim to be the “Prince That Was Promised” raise major questions about Viserys' prophecy, Targaryen mythology, and how the show is connecting the Dance to the larger story of Game of Thrones.Then there's Helaena. Her death brings one of the season's most heartbreaking stories to a tragic conclusion while dramatically changing the future of the war. We'll examine her final moments, her prophetic visions, and the major changes the series has made to her story — particularly the decision to eliminate Maelor from the adaptation.Meanwhile, Aegon II finally returns alongside Sunfyre. Once thought to be a broken and defeated king, Aegon's reemergence completely changes the political landscape. His reunion with Aemond sets up what could be one of the most important conflicts of the final season, especially after everything that has happened between the brothers.And where does this leave Alicent? With Helaena gone, Aegon back, and Aemond increasingly consumed by the war, Alicent is more isolated than ever. We'll look at where her story could be heading and how her television arc continues to diverge from Fire & Blood.Finally, we look ahead to Season 4 — the final season of the series.With the Dance entering its endgame, we'll discuss the major events from Fire & Blood that could still be adapted, including the second Tumbleton, the remaining dragon battles, Daemon's ultimate fate, Rhaenyra and Aegon's final confrontation, and the eventual collapse of the Targaryen dynasty.We'll also examine the biggest changes the show has already made — including Daemon's involvement at Tumbleton and Rhaena taking the place of Nettles — and what those alterations could mean for the ending.Has House of the Dragon been building toward the same ending as the book, or are we heading toward something completely different?Join us for our complete Season 3 finale breakdown, our comparison with Fire & Blood, and our predictions for the final season of the Targaryen civil war.

This week on the Mark Levin Show, it's particularly annoying that numerous national political figures refuse to discuss the significant and growing Islamist threat in the United States. Islamism is the greatest cultural threat we face. What is the ruling class is doing to stop Islamists from entering the country? Are we reviewing the status of those already here who promote radical views? Conservatives need to take over at the local level and reject mosque expansions, which isn't about restricting religious freedom but defending it against Islamist intolerance of religious diversity. Meanwhile, issues like universal healthcare are falsely cast as civil rights to advance a Marxist agenda that expands “democracy” and “rights” while threatening programs like Medicare and opposing enforcement against illegal immigration; supporting candidates like Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan would harm both the state and the country. Also, Sen Chris Van Hollen is a radical nut job, Jew hater, and Israel hater. Van Hollen defends Democrats against communist labels by citing Republican attacks on FDR over Social Security. What did FDR do? FDR created internment camps of 120,000 Japanese Americans, refusing to sign a bipartisan anti-lynching bill to protect Southern votes, imposing Jewish immigration quotas during the Holocaust, and enacting socialist policies including industrial trusts and price/wage controls that prolonged the Depression, arguing socialism redistributes rather than creates wealth. Later, Wisconsin Governor candidate Francesca Hong views Thanksgiving as racist and posted in 2021 that Americans should cancel it. This is the problem with insufficiently patriotic immigrants welcomed into the Democratic Party's big tent. Later, by the skin of his teeth, Abdul El-Sayed is now the Democratic candidate for the Senate in Michigan. Early data shows El-Sayed did well with White, relatively wealthy college graduates, but not so well with union/blue collar workers and Blacks. El-Sayed will face Republican Mike Rogers, a good, solid candidate, in the November general election. El-Sayed will get the support of the media and he'll play down his Islamism and his association with people like Sen Bernie Sanders and Hasan Piker, who said America deserved 9/11. Let's not pretend El-Sayed is just another progressive. He's an Islamic Marxist. What Democrats have to figure out: how do you build a party around elitists? Claims from some on the fringes of the conservative movement—that younger people today face uniquely hard times due to student debt, homeownership barriers, and inflation driven by the war with Iran—are inaccurate and sound like leftist or socialist talking points. There have been far greater hardships faced by prior generations: the Great Depression's 25% unemployment, widespread business failures, and near-economic collapse, followed by World War II's draft of 16 million Americans with over 600,000 casualties under brutal conditions. Young people today simply do not have it as hard as those of 50–80 years ago - they simply don't. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show, by the skin of his teeth, Abdul El-Sayed is now the Democratic candidate for the Senate in Michigan.

El-Sayed will face Republican Mike Rogers, a good, solid candidate, in the November general election.

Let's not pretend El-Sayed is just another progressive. He's an Islamic Marxist. The El-Sayed campaign plan. Lie like hell. It's called taqiyya. What Democrats have to figure out: how do you build a party around elitists? Later, Zuhdi Jasser, who is running for the House from Arizona's 4th district, calls in and explains that Islamists and dictators who seized control in the Middle East over generations are now advancing the same agenda in the West, enabled by the left through a red-green axis of socialists and Islamists who share hatred of America, freedom, and Israel and promote antisemitism. The tens of millions were spent to stop El-Sayed failed. Democrats elected a radical Islamist antisemite who attacked Israel the night before the vote, when ordinary voters care about affordability, health care, and the economy; the party, he says, has been hijacked and is now normalizing radicalization, as seen in Michigan. Finally, Sen Ted Cruz calls in to discuss his hearing on the Muslim Brotherhood. This is a terrorist organization whose affiliates have killed countless Americans, Israelis and others. CAIR is linked to the Brotherhood and is a major part of the Democrat party. The Brotherhood has carried out a grand jihad to sabotage western civilization from within for decades. The red-green alliance is conducting a hostile takeover of the Democrats. They're terrified and rolling over to the Marxists/Islamists. Yet not one Democrat could be bothered to attend Cruz's hearing. Democrats are hiding from reality and their party is being hijacked. Learn more about your ad choices.

House of the Dragon brought Sunfyre back — Chanel & Brandon recap an episode packed with betrayal, poison, and a four-dragon brawl.

In this episode we're joined by special guest Tim Page to trace the arc of his career from reviewing James Chance & the Contortions to winning the Pulitzer Prize. In a conversation that's as entertaining as it is erudite, Tim recalls his teenage discovery of Rolling Stone and the subsequent influence of rock criticism on his singular brand of classical music reviewing. After touching on the 1967 documentary A Day with Timmy Page, we hear about his journey as a critic from New York Rocker to the Washington Post via the New York Times. With reference to the 2002 collection Tim Page on Music, our guest reflects on his affection for Sean O'Hagan's High Llamas and Stephin Merritt's Magnetic Fields. Merritt and his electro-pop offshoot Future Bible Heroes are then heard in clips from an audio interview by the late Andy Gill. From there we turn to another of Tim's great passions – the tragic and long-neglected Judee Sill – and pay collective tribute to what he calls her "extraordinary gifts". After William quotes from newly-added library interviews with Janis Joplin (1970) and Ozzy Osbourne (2001), Jasper talks us out with his thoughts on pieces about country singer Tom T. Hall (1973) and Dallas Austin's Highland Place Mobsters (2014). Many thanks to special guest Tim Page. Pieces discussed: The Contortions + James White & the Blacks, Minimalism: Hey, DJ, The Everlasting Forever Of Arthur Lee, Future Bible Heroes audio (2002), Judee Sill: Lunch And Judee, Judee Sill: Heart Food, Judee Sill: A Brief Life, an Enduring Musical Impression, Miss Janis — Texas White Queen Of Rock, Ozzy Osbourne, Tom T. Hall and Make It Funky: The Rise & Fall of the Highland Place Mobsters.
