Listen back to our favourite moments from this week, including Mark Beast Cometti, Billy's arrival at Triple M Fest, Billy's 1990 Brownlow performance, Billy's burp, JB's neighbour rant, Froffy Time, Topics Warren, and a Fruity Joke at Triple M Fest.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Welcome back to Our Take! It's the time of week that we loosen our ties (except we famously don't wear ties), kick off our shoes (figuratively because WHS rules) and talk the week that was in news and pop culture. This episode starts with The Debrief, and we take on the launch of Trump TV and the US President banning certain media outlets from White House press events. Then we crack open The Inbox to hear YOUR thoughts on the biggest stories of the week, with drug reform, Albo and Trump's selfie and the NRL dumping Tones and I dominating our comment sections and DMs. Then it's time for the Weekend Quiz and this weekend we have our very first listener joining us to test their knowledge – listener Nat, who also got some very impressive (not really) merch. Questions below, make sure you listen to get the answers! As always, we love to hear your thoughts on the stories we've covered, or ones you'd like us to cover! Hit us up on Instagram @thebriefingpodcast and don't forget you can comment on eps if you listen on Spotify. The Weekend Quiz: Albo’s in the US this week, and while there he has launched a campaign for Australia to get a seat on WHAT? In the AFL, who won this year’s Brownlow medal, on Monday night? Donald Trump wants to change the name of AI, what has he suggested it be called instead? A new report this week found that half of Aussies in their 20s are still doing what? We lost an Aussie rock icon this week. Who was it?

Catch up on all the footy news from AFL 360, Wednesday, the 23rd of September, with hosts Gerard Whateley and Garry Lyon.Gerard Whateley and Garry Lyon react to the bombshell news that Brisbane Lions star Lachie Neale has been cleared to play in the Grand Final after appealing his one-match suspension for an apparent punch on Hawks star Jack Ginnivan. Fremantle coach Justin Longmuir also joined the show ahead of his side's attempt to win their first-ever Premiership, before Brownlow Medal winner Nick Daicos joins the show.For more of the show, tune in on Fox Footy & KAYO.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
For one last time, Joey, Daisy and Damo are in the studio ahead of an enormous grand final between Fremantle and Brisbane! History will be made for either team if they get up with Freo gunning for their first and Brisbane aiming for a three-peat. But will Lachie Neale play? His suspension for striking Jack Ginnivan was upheld at the tribunal with a strong suspicion Brisbane will head to the appeals board. And is it a distraction for the Lions? Nick Daicos is your 2026 Brownlow winner - and didn't Damo get a bit of me time across the night. Plus - after we went three from three on the big calls last week - the three preview the full game on Saturday, with tips and Norm predictions.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Nick Daicos ги претвори годините на разочарувања и пласмани при самиот врв во рекордна победа, освојувајќи го својот прв медал 'BROWNLOW' со неверојатни 47 гласа. Ѕвездата на Collingwood убедливо заврши пред Бејли Смит од Geelong со 36 и капитенот на Western Bulldogs, Маrcus Bontempelli, со 34 гласа, поставувајќи нов рекорд и надминувајќи го досегашното најдобро достигнување од 45 гласа на Patrick Cripps.
Max is fresh off fourth in the Brownlow, the best vote count of his career, and a red carpet interview that started with a question about the world wheelchair championship. He also talks Everest prep: seven laps of Mount Dandenong, roughly 40 climbs to go in South Australia, and a possible pub stop for a parma halfway through.Plappy's back in Spain after an underdone return in Italy, and he's lining up in China next month, where a certain mountain bike world champion has just appeared on the start list. He also walks through the mechanics' nightly group chat, chainrings, cassettes and the tyre pressures that will horrify anyone still running 120 psi.Then it's Worlds. With Pogačar out and Carapaz withdrawn, the road race is wide open. We break down Belgium's two-leader plan, whether the French can make it hard enough to drop Van der Poel and Van Aert, and why Del Toro might beat Remco and Paul Seixas in a sprint. Max gives his tips, Alex backs Lorenzo Finn as a smokey, and Plappy is dreaming of a Van Aert rainbow jersey.Plus: the TT verdict on Ganna's future, Felicity Wilson-Haffenden's junior title, the Oceania Championships landing in Adelaide in January, a transfer round-up including Gall, Mühlberger and a possible Welsford move to Jayco, and Max's Top Five presented by Pillar Performance: the best fluffers in cycling.
