Hour 1: Bob's Movie Club Presents: Get Shorty (1995). John Travolta is Chili Palmer, a chill loan shark who gets a chance to chase his Hollywood dreams.

Billy is feeling the winter chill, and JB must've had a brain freeze - that's the only way we can explain the meltdown he had to start the show. BIlly picks us up with the All Sports Report, then a bumper edition of World Cup Fat - including a commentator who might still be yelling, and a French boundary rider in Philadelphia. Commonwealth Games gold medallist Sam Williamson is in studio as he prepares to go to Glasgow, but he's also brought in a homemade Lasagna for Billy to try. BIlly has a quick wrap of footy news, then his favourite moments from the weekend on Triple M Footy, before JB has a message for young people with their heads buried in their phones. Socceroos goalkeeper Andrew Redmayne calls in and tells us how the Aussies can beat Paraguay on Friday, then Billy has a very fruity joke about a deli worker to close the show.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A university study reckons expats struggle to make real friendships with Australians, so Ricki and Tim put it to the test by opening the phones to listeners from all over the world. What followed was a flood of callers from Ireland, India, Nepal and the UK who completely shut the theory down, sharing stories of pub mates, lifelong friendships and even lending luxury cars to complete strangers. Tim wondered if Aussies can be a bit reserved, while Ricki argued we're some of the friendliest people going around. In the end, the callers delivered a pretty clear verdict: Australians are doing just fine.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We are not short of things to talk about today with threeamazing games in Southampton and Headingley. Firstly the big one we've been waiting for, Australia v The Netherlands. We were delighted to see Babette de Leede and Robine Rijke, friends of the pod, play their 100th IT20 and watch the Netherlands dismiss a few of the Aussies. Then the surprise of Bangladesh v Pakistan where Bangladesh caused a bit of upset after Pakistan looked so stable. Finally, we were at Headingley for Scotland v England where the Scots were as loud as ever but fielding mistakes stole the show and Englanddominated with the bat.

Howie, Chief, Browny, and Damo kick things off with their favourite headlines of the week, including Freo continuing to roll, a swearing epidemic in sport, the New York Knicks Championship parade, and Howie's idea to make the World Cup broadcast even bigger. Chief and Damo have issues with Howie and Browny's behaviour during meetings, then Chief has two more movie monologues - sadly no accents this time. The boys speak to International Arm Wrestling commentator Jake Ward as a rematch between Howie and Browny is on the cards, then Campbell Brown calls in from Seattle as the Socceroos prepare to play the USA tomorrow morning. The Aussies are bouncing back against Bangladesh but Chief isn't impressed, then Olympic silver medallist Scott Miller is in studio to talk about a new documentary detailing his rise, fall, and comeback efforts after time in prison. Chief has a World Cup themed quiz, the boys look at the big game between the Suns and Hawks tonight, before turning attention to some media wars brewing both here and abroad. Tasmania Devils CEO Brendon Gale is in studio to update everyone on their progress towards joining the AFL, Browny has the Top 5 drought-breaking championships, and Chief receives a text message that has everyone a touch concerned.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We are live at Jimmy's ahead of USA vs Australia and we are already buzzing! Matt “Stretch” Johnson is in the seat next to Chuck and giving us all of the soccer knowledge.

Tell you what, there aren't many times in sport I find myself supporting an Australian team. By not many I mean basically none – usually, I'd be delighted to see them getting pumped. The Football World Cup is maybe the only the only occasion I feel differently because it's about the only time the Aussies feel like genuine underdogs. They've had a tough few hours, this morning. The underdog dynamic is one of the unique joys of a Football World Cup. Take Cabo Verde. I'd guess most people wouldn't have the faintest idea where to start trying to find them on a map, and yet they held Spain, the talent-stacked and one of the obvious favourites for the title, to a nil-all draw. Who would've thought scoring no goals could be so exciting?! Another unique joy I love about the World Cup —and I know this sounds bad— is the advertising. You just get biggest brands in the world, with the biggest creative budgets, combining with the biggest icons in the sport. And because football is so simple, it lends itself to really clever little concepts. Take McDonalds. I know, I know, I know... But they posted an ad the other day designed for the TikTok generation – vertical video, designed for phones. I don't even think it's on TV. But it's honestly genius in its simplicity. Lamine Yamal, the Spanish wunderkind, just 18-years-old and one of the biggest names in world sport, sets up a phone camera in front of a McDonalds, the golden arches on a pole behind him. Ronaldinho, the Brazilian icon steps into shot. Both of them are in casual clothes. You'd swear they'd just bumped into each other on the street. They toss up a football and each casually juggle it a few times. The shot never changes. It looks exactly like it would look if you or I leaned our phones against the curb and recorded it. After a few seconds, Yamal kicks the ball high and it juuuuust misses the McDonalds golden arches. Another ball immediately rolls into shot, they each juggle it again, and Ronaldinho kicks it up, perfectly slotting the ball through the little gap in the McDonalds ‘M'. They laugh, and that's it. No words. No meals. No biting cheeseburgers. So simple. So shareable. And from a creative perspective, honestly, so clever. The third thing I love about Football World Cups —aside from the football— are the fans. I just don't think there is another sporting contest where you have huge, organised groups of fans coming from all corners of the planet. The Olympics might attract people from all over, but they're not organised in the same way. And I love how different nations have their own quirks and traditions. The Scottish fans have completely taken over Boston. An estimated 20,000 travelled to the city for their teams matches against Haiti and Morocco. The US media is awash with stories about the Scottish fans literally drinking bars dry around the city. After their first World Cup win in 36 years, they marched across the city, led by pipers, and completely took over Fenway Park for the Boston Red Sox. It was so funny watching it... American baseball fans outnumbered in a stadium by Scots in kilts, singing Flower of Scotland. But then add to that the fans from the Democratic Republic of Congo. Most of them were singing and dancing in the stands, but they have a tradition where one man stands as a perfect statue for all of his team's game. He commemorates his country's first Prime Minister, Patrice Lumumba, the man who helped lead Congo to independence from Belgium. He wears beautiful bright clothes and amidst the frenzy of the activity around him, even when his team scores, he stands above the masses, perfect and almost unsettlingly still for the whole game. Still, how you could go past the Japanese? I'm not sure there's a greater act of soft power in all of world sport than having fans who carefully collect all of the rubbish and clean up the grandstands at the end of every game. For all of the controversy and all of the appalling grift, there can be no denying it is the global game. I haven't even mentioned the football. But I for one am utterly absorbed.

Australia's crypto Travel Rule starts on 1 July 2026, and it is already changing how Aussies move Bitcoin and other crypto off exchanges. In this episode, Peter breaks down what AUSTRAC's rule actually requires, why exchanges are adding extra verification, and what it could mean for withdrawals, deposits, cold storage, and financial privacy.The key point is not that every blockchain transaction suddenly has your name written on-chain. The rule applies to regulated businesses such as exchanges, banks, remittance providers, and other virtual asset service providers. But if you move assets between an exchange and a self-custody wallet, expect more friction as platforms collect and pass on payer, payee, and tracing information.Is this a sensible compliance step to reduce scams and money laundering, or does it push too far into personal financial privacy? This episode looks at both sides and asks where the line should be drawn.Key Takeaways:- Australia's crypto Travel Rule takes effect on 1 July 2026 and applies to regulated crypto platforms and other financial businesses.- Crypto exchanges may need to collect and pass on identifying information when customers transfer assets to another platform or wallet.- The rule can apply regardless of transfer size, meaning small and large transfers may face similar compliance checks.- Withdrawals to self-custody wallets may require proof of wallet control before an exchange approves the transfer.- The Travel Rule does not mean names are automatically stamped onto public blockchains for every transaction.- Pure self-custody and peer-to-peer activity sit outside the exchange workflow, but deposits and withdrawals through regulated platforms can still face friction.- The debate is between stronger anti-scam and anti-money-laundering controls versus the loss of practical financial privacy for everyday crypto users.- Australian crypto users should understand the rule before moving assets so they are not surprised by delays or extra verification.Links & References:- https://link.learncardano.io/Z6geXE- Reddit - Please wait for verification: https://link.learncardano.io/HWI7V0- x.com: https://link.learncardano.io/bbReRJ- https://link.learncardano.io/frorAV- Australians are Withdrawing Their Bitcoin Because of This Rule Change: https://link.learncardano.io/3Jhrha- Binance Australia Mandates Full User ID for All Crypto Transfers Starting July 1: https://link.learncardano.io/sY4Rrj- Travel Rule Australia: Everything You Need to Know | Swyftx - Cheap, Easy, Secure: https://link.learncardano.io/50r9d9Website: https://link.learncardano.io/bQ68RcX/Twitter: https://link.learncardano.io/3a1QtvDisclaimer: This content is for educational purposes only.

We've got a special bonus episode for you on 3 World Cup topics we simply couldn't resist. First, we break down how the United States turned up to the tournament in such style, running circles around Paraguay in a 4-1 victory. How did Poch get the lads humming and what were the tactical moves that allowed them such freedom? We also look ahead to their second match against Australia, who shocked Turkey in their opener. What different threats will the Aussies pose? Then, we discuss the first sacking of the tournament – Sabri Lamouchi, after his Tunisian side was humiliated 5-1 to Sweden in a shocking performance. What happened to Tunisia and what comes next with new man Herve Renard swooping in as replacement? Finally, David allows Maxwell to rant about his beloved Oranje for a few minutes, bitterly complaining about their approach in the final 20 minutes against Japan, Ronald Koemen's tactical prowess, and the state of Dutch coaching. Cheers to Mauricio Pochettino!

Earlier this week, a new report on how Aussies consume news media was released. It’s the latest in a long-running international survey that compares data on media usage in 48 different countries, and is deemed the authoritative source of information for understanding changing attitudes and behaviours when it comes to news. In today’s podcast, we’re gonna break down some of the biggest findings, including that young people’s trust in news jumped significantly in a single year, Australia is bucking global trends when it comes to interest in news and that news creators are growing steeply in popularity.

Hey, soccer fans! The United States Men's National Team put on a historic performance against Paraguay in their openeing match of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, defeating the South American side 4-1. An own goal got the scoring started for the Yanks, but Falorin Balogun bagged a brace, and Gio Reyna pitched in, as well. The USMNT dominated all stages of the game, coming out strong, controlling the pace, and breaking down a good Paraguayan defence to score - all things critics have pointed out over the last several matches. It's a great moment for the US Men and for American soccer fans. Let's keep it going! Nick also recaps the World Cup scoreboard and results, highlighting notable matches and results, and how it could affect the knockout rounds. We also discuss the Chicago Fire's latest transfer targets. Polish striker Robert Lewandowski was in Chicago for a visit and meetings, and left impressed with the organization. It is now up to him to consider the Men in Red's offer - rumored to be up to $22 million a year for 2-3 years. German international Leon Goretzka has also been targed by the Fire, who are looking for more creativity out of their midfield. Could we see the two Bayern Munich stars reunite in Chicago? The Fire are also rumored to have interest in Australian international and Heart of Midlothian midfielder Cammy Devlin. I'm sure he'll be a hard target to obtain after a good perofrmance by the Aussies this World Cup. Tune in and join the conversation!

An Ordinary Brazil: Morocco proved they are a genuinely good side, but Brazil looked decidedly ordinary. I take a moment to reflect on the legendary Brazilian teams of years gone by and ask where the magic has gone. Scottish Pride: Well done to Scotland on getting the job done! I loved the brilliant rendition of Flower of Scotland, which really shines a light on our rather dreary English anthem, God Save the King. Credit to Haiti as well—they looked very tidy in places and I think they're arguably quite unlucky to be stuck in such a tough group. Aussie Joy: A huge 2-0 result for the Aussies against Turkey, with the added element of Greek-Aussie joy making it an even sweeter victory down under. Water Break Controversy: Did the mandated water break ruin the flow of the Germany vs Curaçao game? Curaçao had just equalised and were aggressively pressing a genuinely rattled German side, only for Germany to recoup and reassert themselves after the pause. It begs the question: are FIFA fundamentally changing the landscape and rhythm of how the game is played? Underwhelming Oranje: Despite the late drama in the 2-2 draw, it was a fairly underwhelming game between the Netherlands and Japan. Japan were overly defensive for large spells, whilst the Dutch struggled to find that killer pass and ultimately switched off at the back. Plus, I look at Micky van de Ven, who really doesn't look well-suited to operating at left-back. Côte d'Ivoire Grind It Out: A massive three points on the board for Côte d'Ivoire against Ecuador. Picking up hard-fought wins against fairly evenly matched sides is exactly the name of the game in tournament football. Super Swedes: Sweden absolutely smash Tunisia to get their campaign underway. When I look through the Swedish squad, there is an abundance of quality. They might not be looked at as a classic favourite, but they are absolutely a team who could cause serious problems for anyone in this competition. Learn more about your ad choices.

Former Boxer, MMA fighter and now the face of the IBC and one of our great mates Issac Hardman joins us for a yarn.To kick it off we go back to Issac's childhood and his aspirations to be a rugby league player and how that transitioned to beginning his amateur MMA career, to then going pro and going on an undefeated run, taking out Aussies that are now even in the UFC. From this opportunity, Issac went on a great run in Boxing and he discusses some of his favourite matches and we review his highlight reel knockouts. To wrap up, we discuss his latest combat sports move to the IBC and his plans to become the first Double Champ and why he enjoys the concept of the new sport so much. Work life balance is covered as Issac has just begun his real estate career as well, and we discuss why he fights for his family to bring the conversation home.

Is it just me, or did anyone else notice what a contrast it was watching Christopher Luxon cracking jokes with Anthony Albanese, compared to what it was like when Jacinda Ardern visited Australia? For all her kindness and communication when she was Prime Minister, she would use those trips to Australia to give then–Prime Minister Scott Morrison a tongue-lashing—usually over the 501 deportees, which was pointless because the Aussies weren't going to change their minds. This weekend, though, was a bit of a love-in. And that's despite the fact that we've done something that could genuinely have upset the Aussies. Because Nicola Willis has probably gone a bit too hard, having cracks at them for their capital gains tax changes in their budget—which they're very sensitive about, because they're copping huge blowback. And yet…it was no drama. Albanese wrote it off as cheekiness. And then, instead of yet another trans-Tasman drama, he was cracking jokes with Luxon about Kiwi immigrants. They were taking turns going first with the questions, and they were affirming each other—welcoming closer ties, strengthening shared resilience. It's turning into a bit of a cliché thing to say now, but Luxon is in his element overseas. He sounded every bit the statesman—someone who has thought deeply about the degrading state of international affairs and what New Zealand needs to do to weather the coming storm. And I thought, as I listened to him pitch how kick-ass Australia and New Zealand are going to be, that he was doing a better job of selling Australasia to the world than the Prime Minister of Australia was. He's a big-ideas guy—selling his country and his region and getting on with people is his party trick. Isn't that a better strategy, when you think about it, than always fighting with your only ally?

As most states (sorry, WA and QLD) gear up to celebrate the King's Birthday public holiday tomorrow, some might be asking the question Aussies have been asking themselves for decades; Why are we still living life under the British monarchy? In this bonus episiode of The Briefing, we hear from a republican and a monarchist about their arguments to either leave or stay. This episode was first published in October 2024 as King Charles and Queen Camilla arrived in Australia for a royal tour.
