    Want to gobble some clock? This podcast is for you! A great way to eat some clock while at work. I was looking for an enjoyable sports themed podcast and found this, essentially I went bobbing for apples and came up with dicks. 5 stars

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

"Game's Gone Soft With David Campese"
Q: What's day-to-day life look like for you now on the Gold Coast and with your current projects?
He describes working with associates in liquidation, navigating financial and administrative responsibilities, coaching at a school, and staying active through advisory roles and community involvement.
"Game's Gone Soft With David Campese"
Q: Did you enjoy playing the All Blacks because they were the best or because you liked to annoy them the most?
Campese indicates it was about competing against the best and the nature of rivalry, rather than a simple desire to provoke, highlighting the competitive spirit of facing elite teams.
"Game's Gone Soft With David Campese"
Q: Because obviously, I feel like our players are almost coached within an inch of their lives. How do you think you would survive in today's game with the amount of video analysis and everything else?
Campo suggests that the shift from amateur to professional eras, with intense coaching and analysis, would require adapting instincts and mental toughness; the core passion remains, but execution is shaped by modern preparation.
"Campese, Goosies & The Cocaine Cowboys"
Q: Should we have a chat to Campo next?
Yes, we bring Campese into the conversation with questions about his career, the goose step, and thoughts on today's game, followed by reflections on coaching and longevity.
"Mitchell Santner Vs Grim Lane"
Q: Is there a reputation for the South Africans going in the semi-final, hey, these guys are going to struggle to get up for this because they know there's a bit of a monkey on their back.
The panel notes a mindset around South Africa in past semifinals and compares it to ongoing finals pressure, implying strategic conversations about how teams approach big knockout games.
