He is one of Australia's biggest sporting stars. From suburban Melbourne courts to the bright lights of the NBA. From idolising Buddy Franklin, following Hawthorn religiously, and even taking a year away from basketball to focus on football, to the decision that ultimately changed his life forever. The Chicago Bulls star then takes us inside one of the defining moments of his career, his unforgettable game-winning buzzer beater over LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers.

Easy bye round? As we learnt in Round 13 with a number of big names failing, there's no such thing. But the week ahead doesn’t get any easier. One of those premium failures, Tristan Xerri, looms as the biggest SuperCoach call ahead of round 14. $570k with West Coast, and then Richmond, seems like a no-brainer. But fresh off a season-low score and a huge breakeven, there's plenty to discuss in The Phantom's Lair. Sydney coach Dean Cox sent a wave of panic through the SuperCoach community with his latest comments on Brodie Grundy. Should we be worried? Across town, four GWS Giants are among this week's top targets off the bye - and there's some serious value.

Nowadays he's best known as the father of Richmond's Hugo Ralphsmith, while he also leads the St Kilda FC Past Players Association, and was involved in building the Danny Frawley Centre at Moorabbin, but ahead of the 1991 AFL season, SEAN RALPHSMITH was traded to the St Kilda Football Club from Hawthorn (4 games) alongside Russell Morris. After 30 more games for the Saints (and multiple injuries), Sean was delisted. Sean joined us to chat about his journey, his time at the St Kilda Football Club, and why the Past Players Association is so important.

The Rush Hour Melbourne Catch Up - 105.1 Triple M Melbourne - James Brayshaw and Billy Brownless
After a wander back through time to hear a classic piece of Jay Z audio, Billy kicks us off with the All Sports Report, and JB sounds off on the proposed merger between the Melbourne Renegades and Melbourne Stars. Channel 7 Chief Footy Reporter Mitch Cleary is in studio with all the headlines ahead of Round 13, including some potential big name outs for both Hawthorn and Geelong. Eden and James battle it out in the Hump Day Quiz, Australian Cricketer's Association CEO Paul Marsh has a statement about the proposed Stars/Renegades merger, and Billy is back with World Cup Fat. North Melbourne captain Nick Larkey is in studio before the Kangas go on a two-game trip to the West, and Billy finishes the show with a fruity joke about a pet shop.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Australia's economic growth slows; The Trump adminstration proposes more tariffs on goods from 60 countries; And in AFL, Hawthorn coach Sam Mitchell says the Western Bulldogs will be hard to beat on Friday night.
It wasn't exactly the fist through the wall Clarko style, but JL left his mark at the GABBA, in more ways than one. Time to Restump Podcast Freo's felling of the former ferocious felines.He usually aborts his bouts of irritation inspired ire at the precise moment before impact, but JL's emotional reactions are evolving. A couple of annoyance fuelled batters of the beam above head at round 12, we wonder will windscreens O'Brien be required by seasons end? Is it a pressure outlet? A sign of a how real it has become? Suddenly we've genuinely got something to lose! Or, more likely, are we just theatrically highlighting something entirely insignificant for a moment of semi-comedic value?What a way to bring up 11 wins on the bounce against a rampaging Lions outfit. Yeah, wait a minute... rampaging, really? Who are we kidding... the Lions were all Aslans, they never came out of the wardrobe!The reality is though any time you beat Brisbane at the GABBA it's a big achievement and you have to play seriously good footy to do so. Having said that, what has happened to these now somewhat lethargic lions? They gave us so much space through the corridor, Elon wants to launch rockets into it!After two consecutive premierships has the hunger for the 3-peat waned? There were expectations they'd flick the switch after their previous two losses, but the wiring must be faulty because there's seemingly a disconnect there.But that's the extent of us being bewildered by Brisbane! Our all-round game, our strategies and defensive structure suffocated them. Our individuals' willingness to perform their roles our system depends on, never gave the Lions a look in.Paddy Voss, Josh Treacy and Jye Amiss functioned like a well-oiled machine. They're three vastly different roles which, when they work in harmony, all produce the same substantially beneficial outcome.And hasn't Matty Johnson stepped up with opportunistic permanent midfield minutes and in the absence of a couple of colleagues. To step in and destroy Hugo Garcia last week was big, but to back that up by nullifying Lachie Neale, was something else. Hopefully the ice on the hamstring was more cautionary awareness than strain or tear.We're 11 straight, we're top of the tree, we passed the Hawthorn test, we weathered St Kilda's pressure and now we've dispatched Brisbane on their home turf. If we scale the Sydney summit, the last true test box to tick, holy smokes, the potential big dance nerves will well and truly kick in!We're not a soap opera drama but we're Home and Away this week, playing North Melbourne away at home in Bunbury. However, before then, there's no time for Lion down! We still need to dissect last Saturday's successful safari hunt. In the Gabba jungle, the mighty Gabba jungle was the Lion sleeping that night? Or were we simply the purple Lion tamers? Let's chat it out on the pod. Send us Fan MailSupport the show

This summary was brought to you by NVIDIA Nemotron 3 super. What's that, you ask? I don't really know. It sounds a lot like the other models. It's just another dumb clanker serving you the slop you crave. The timeline is bizarrely detailed. You could probably just read that and skip the show. This model is stupid as it does the thing dumb models do and assume that Jack is me because of the way the transcript goes DESPITE MY PROMPTING anyway I am leaving it in there to show clankers are not going to replace us yet. SORRY I FORGOT TO UPLOAD THIS - BETTER LATE THAN NEVER? ---------------------------In this episode of The Two Jacks, Jack the Insider (Joel Hill) and Hong Kong Jack tear into the Albanese government's deeply unpopular budget, the polling fallout, and Labor's failure to sell hard tax changes on housing, trusts and capital gains. They dig into intergenerational equity, how negative gearing and CGT discounts have locked younger Australians out of home ownership, and why the government refuses to “own the lie” on broken tax promises.The Jacks then turn to the NDIS blowout and ask whether the scheme now needs to be torn down and rebuilt from first principles to define who is genuinely eligible and where scarce disability money should go. The main course is the Royal Commission into Anti‑Semitism and Social Cohesion: what its narrow terms of reference miss, why Jewish kids still need security to go to school, how campus politics and parts of the progressive left have turned openly hostile to Jews, and why universities and the ABC are failing basic tests of impartiality and safety. They round things out with a postponed look at Keir Starmer's woes in the UK, Arsenal's title, State of Origin squads, an AFL reset at Carlton, the Tasmanian Devils project, and why pokies – not punters on the nags – are still the real engine of problem gambling in Australia.Timeline (with +25 seconds added for theme music)I've shifted each timestamp forward by 25 seconds to allow for your theme.00:00 – Two Jacks back on deck, Hong Kong plansJack the Insider (Joel Hill) opens the show, checks in with Hong Kong Jack, and talks about heading to Hong Kong in December to speak at a Carbine Club lunch and maybe record from Jack's pub.00:50 – What's on today's menuOutline of the episode: the federal budget and polling, the Royal Commission into Anti‑Semitism and Social Cohesion, plus (time permitting) Keir Starmer's woes in the UK and, as always, a serve of sport.01:20 – Budget reception and grim pollingThe Jacks walk through Morgan, Newspoll and Demos numbers: Labor's primary stuck in the high 20s–low 30s, One Nation uncomfortably high, and more than half of Australians expecting to be personally worse off under the budget.02:20 – What really matters in a budget: hurt vs “right thing to do”Hong Kong Jack argues the key test isn't whether people feel worse off, but whether they think the budget is the right thing to do, and how that plays into the “battle of ideas” between Labor/Greens and the Coalition/One Nation.03:10 – Intergenerational pitch that never landedJack the Insider dissects Labor's attempt to sell long‑term intergenerational reforms on housing, negative gearing and CGT to millennials and Gen X/Y, and why measures that don't bite until the late 2020s mean nothing to a renter trying to scrape a deposit together now.04:20 – Media honeymoon over and Labor's messaging shamblesDiscussion of how the government misread the media mood, looked stunned when formerly friendly outlets turned on the budget, and why you must expect pushback whenever you hurt someone with fiscal reforms.05:20 – Housing as the core fracture in Australian societyThe Jacks talk about the structural divide between asset‑rich home owners and shut‑out younger cohorts, with home ownership among 30‑ and 40‑somethings collapsing while overall ownership rates barely move.06:20 – Trusts, capital vs labour and the “death duty” scareThey go into the new tax treatment of trusts, how few people actually have family trusts, exemptions for farms and small business, and Tanya Plibersek's bungled breakfast TV defence that let the “death duties” scare run wild.07:20 – Keating rides again: capital too lightly taxedPaul Keating's intervention is unpacked: the argument that the Howard‑era 50% CGT discount helped push house prices from nine times income to 16, and that income is over‑taxed while capital is under‑taxed.08:20 – You can't sell reform if you won't own the lieThe Jacks compare Albanese's handling of broken tax promises with the Hockey/Abbott 2014 “horror budget”, arguing the only way through is to admit circumstances changed, own the lie and explain why you're breaking it.09:25 – Lessons from the 2014 Hockey–Abbott fiascoThey revisit how that budget enraged almost every demographic, how badly it diverged from public opinion despite elite commentary cheer‑squads, and how it helped end both Tony Abbott's and Joe Hockey's careers.10:40 – Can this government reset its pitch?Talk turns to what Labor must do now: scrap the ill‑judged intergenerational “marketing”, articulate clearly that the aim is to rebalance tax from workers to asset holders, and craft a story that can actually be sold.11:25 – NDIS: who's in, who's out and can it be saved?With the NDIS projected to save tens of billions over the forward estimates, Jack the Insider worries about vulnerable people being turfed off the scheme and the political heat that will follow.12:15 – Defining disability and rationing scarce careThey debate whether the scheme should prioritise those with severe physical or cognitive impairments, the difficulty of diagnosing conditions like ME/CFS and long COVID, and the unfairness of some mildly affected participants getting full supports while bedridden patients miss out.13:20 – “Chuck it out and start again?”Hong Kong Jack argues that the only way to fix the NDIS may be to go back to first principles: clearly define eligibility, decide what taxpayers can afford, and accept that these are inherently political choices, not just technocratic ones.14:00 – Enter the Royal Commission into Anti‑Semitism and Social CohesionThe show moves to the new Royal Commission: why the Albanese government was dragged into it, public misconceptions about royal commissions as hanging courts, and what they realistically can and can't fix.14:45 – Royal commissions: shining a light, not magic wandsThe Jacks compare this inquiry with past ones on institutional child abuse and banking, noting how many victims and consumers were left dissatisfied even as some important truths were dragged into the open.15:30 – Terms of reference and an immediate blind spotThey read through the Royal Commission's focus areas – antisemitism drivers, law enforcement and security responses, the Bondi attack, social cohesion – and point out that live criminal proceedings severely limit any examination of the Bondi killer and his father.16:30 – ASIO, counter‑terror cuts and missed warningsJack the Insider notes reports that ASIO cut counter‑terrorism to its lowest level since 9/11 and questions how that could be justified given far‑right activity, Islamist threats and general extremism.17:25 – From “terror hotlines” to BondiHe recounts his own experiences calling the National Security Hotline: indifference before the Old Parliament House fire versus a swift response after the Wieambilla police killings, and what that says about how inconsistent the system can be.18:30 – Private Jewish security and a ball dropped by NSW PoliceThe Jacks highlight reports that Jewish community security raised concerns with police about the Hanukkah festival at Bondi being a vulnerable target, yet only a handful of officers were rostered locally on the day of the attack.19:30 – What should the Commission actually deliver?Discussion of how much of this will be buried in redacted security recommendations versus visible cultural change, and whether the measure of success is Jewish kids being able to attend school or synagogue without armed guards or harassment at university.20:25 – Is anti‑Semitism worse than any time in the last 50 years?Both Jacks agree that anti‑Semitism has surged, then tease out what's driving it on the hard right and increasingly in progressive circles.21:00 – From neo‑Nazis to “global puppeteer” tropesThey explain how anti‑Jewish conspiracy theories about control of banking and politics have spread far beyond small neo‑Nazi cells into broader right‑wing ecosystems, amplified by US media figures who frame Benjamin Netanyahu as a world puppeteer.21:55 – The progressive left's turn against JewsHong Kong Jack describes how the most progressive parts of parties like UK Labour were once full of Jewish members and staff, and how those same spaces are now inhospitable or openly hostile.22:40 – Being Jewish does not equal supporting NetanyahuJack the Insider tells the story of a Jewish oncologist friend in Sydney being accused on social media of “supporting killing babies” simply for trying to explain that many Jews detest Netanyahu and don't back the war in Gaza.23:35 – Progressive Jews feel politically homelessThe Jacks talk about liberal Jews who marched for every progressive cause now finding their neighbours tearing down hostage posters and abusing them, and how emotionally disorienting that break has been.24:30 – Campus culture: free thought or intimidation?They turn to universities, where Jewish academics and students are hiding kippot and Star of David jewellery as staff and student activists target them under the banner of Palestine solidarity.25:15 – Universities failed the basic test: safetyReferencing Greg Craven, they argue universities like Melbourne have utterly failed to keep Jewish students and staff safe and that Education Minister Jason Clare is right to tie some funding to universities' performance on this.26:05 – Writers' festivals, awards and performative politicsThe Jacks briefly digress into Miles Franklin and writers' festivals, mocking the inflated status of “scribblers” and the way literary events have become echo‑chambers for fashionable political positions, including a strong anti‑Israel tilt.27:05 – ABC bias, diversity bureaucracy and the West as villainThey discuss claims that the ABC has an institutional bias against Israel, the way its culture tilts anti‑Western generally, and how a hyper‑bureaucratic diversity regime has replaced clear editorial judgement.28:15 – Diversity box‑ticking and absurd examplesFrom Danish filmmakers being grilled about casting in a 1750 Denmark period piece to arguments about race in a new Odyssey adaptation, they skewer shallow diversity policing that obsesses over skin colour while missing substance.29:05 – Jewish history: persecution on repeatJack the Insider places today's situation in a long arc – from pogroms to Poland–Lithuania's historic tolerance, to the near‑eradication of Polish Jewry in the Holocaust and the emptying out of Jewish communities across the Arab world.30:15 – The modern diaspora: Middle East to ShanghaiThey note surviving Jewish communities in Iran and the historic Jewish community in Shanghai, including refugees from the Russian Revolution and how some of those families later ended up in Sydney.31:00 – What the Royal Commission can't fixThe Jacks stress that the inquiry will not “solve” anti‑Semitism, racism or Islamophobia, and that debates over immigration – often weaponised by racists and opportunists like Pauline Hanson – will continue regardless.31:50 – Treat people equally, drop loaded labels?Hong Kong Jack argues terms like “anti‑Semitism” and “Islamophobia” can bog debate down in definitions and that the better approach is to apply one standard of treatment for all minorities and majorities.32:30 – Immigration, xenophobia and political opportunismThey revisit African “crime gangs” rhetoric under Dutton and Morrison as an example of immigration concerns being used as a vehicle for xenophobic politics, while acknowledging there are legitimate policy questions about migration levels.33:20 – The ABC and fear of making decisionsThe Jacks see the ABC's huge manuals and committees as a symptom of executives who won't make hard editorial calls and instead hide behind process, leaving real bias and safety issues unresolved.34:15 – Royal Commission yardstick: kids and campusesThey circle back to the Commission's ultimate test: whether Jewish kids can attend school and university without harassment or needing a private army of guards, even if that goal is a long way off.35:10 – UK politics teaser: Keir Starmer on the rackThe promised Starmer and UK Labour segment is postponed to next week, with a quick note on how unpopular he's become and how leadership polling improves when pollsters insert alternative names like Andy Burnham.36:05 – Sport: Arsenal's title and Man City's stumbleSport segment begins. The Jacks celebrate Arsenal wrapping up the Premier League after Manchester City's draw with Bournemouth and talk up Arsenal's chances in the Champions League final.36:55 – Aston Villa's big year and the money gapAston Villa's Europa League win over Freiburg is praised, with a note on the massive wage‑bill gulf between the clubs and the broader point that money helps but doesn't always guarantee silverware.37:50 – Relegation scrap and wage‑bill madnessThey look at West Ham, Spurs and Everton in the relegation battle, and at Liverpool's huge salary spend versus their likely fifth‑place finish to show that cheque‑book football has its limits.38:40 – NRL: Origin squads and surprise omissionsOver to rugby league: New South Wales debutants, James Tedesco's recall, Queensland's squad, and the notable omission of Rhys Walsh despite his past Origin heroics.39:25 – Penrith cruising, Broncos smashed and the Dolphins riseThey run through club form – Penrith purring, Warriors flogging the Broncos, the Dolphins and Knights impressing – and how that shapes the season.40:05 – “Magic Round” and marketing guffThe Jacks puzzle over the “Magic Round” concept, comparing it to the AFL's Gather Round and questioning who actually wants to sit through four games at a ground in one day.40:45 – AFL: Hawthorn's Launceston fortress and the coming DevilsDiscussion of Hawthorn's strong record in Launceston, the economic benefits to northern Tasmania, and the AFL's decision to clear the decks for the new Tassie Devils to represent the whole state.41:35 – Carlton's first‑up win after sacking VossThey unpack Carlton's win under interim coach Josh Fraser, the myth of the “new coach bounce”, and how much was actually driven by younger players stepping up and Patrick Cripps taking over late.42:30 – New kids, Parkside hard men and a trip to PortPraise for Ollie Hollands, Jack Ison and other young Blues, a nostalgic nod to brutal Parkside days in the Ammos, and a realistic assessment of Carlton's next test away to Port Adelaide.43:25 – Richmond v Essendon: spoon bowlPreview and framing of Richmond–Essendon as a likely wooden‑spoon decider, with both clubs in different stages of rebuild and pain.44:00 – Geelong v Sydney and reinventing on the runThe Jacks preview the big game at GMHBA, note Geelong's outstanding home record and ability to regenerate with pacey youngsters, and talk about Tyson Stengle's return and Geelong's track record with troubled players.45:05 – Racing, sports betting and the real gambling scourgeThey read and agree with a listener comment that the problem‑gambling spotlight has been cleverly shifted onto racing and sports betting, while pokies – the main driver of harm – skate by.46:00 – WA vs NSW: two natural experiments in pokiesUsing WA's “casino only” pokies model versus NSW pubs and clubs, they highlight data showing problem gambling rates under 1% in WA versus around 5% in NSW.46:45 – Why pokies wreck people faster than the puntThey explain how continuous‑play machines let you burn through cash in seconds, whereas racing forces a pause between bets and makes you consciously choose the next wager.47:25 – JFK gag and conspiracy cultureHong Kong Jack closes with a joke about a JFK conspiracy theorist meeting God and still believing “it goes higher than I thought”, segueing briefly into Jack the Insider's view that Lee Harvey Oswald was indeed the gunman.48:15 – Wrap‑up and call for listener topicsThe episode finishes with thanks, a reminder that Jack the Insider is Jack and Hong Kong Jack is Jack, a promise to tackle Keir Starmer properly next week, and an invite for listeners to send in topics via Twitter and email.

The boys start with their favourite headlines from this week - including top-seed carnage at the French Open, and a woman who'd been on the run for three decades. Chief had a scare at the MCG last weekend, and he gets into character for two more classic movie monologues. The boys chat about the Enhanced Games, then take stock of the AFL season so far with a mid-year review. Howie needs some advice ahead of date-night tonight, and Chief has put together a quiz with a coaching theme - there are some enormously tricky questions in this one! Browny talks about Fasting in his Health Hotline, before the boys get into a deep discussion about James Hird putting himself in prime position to be Essendon's next senior coach. Hawthorn senior coach Sam Mitchell calls in after their big win over the Saints last night, Browny's Top 5 looks at some underwhelming National Anthem performances, and Howie has some mail on Browny and a new advertising campaign he's set to be involved in.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
