Summary

The show is away today, so we’re taking a look back at one of our favourite chaotic moments.. a segment fuelled by Ashes tension and the kind of energy that makes everyone a little too brave with their opinions.

Christian opened the floor and lit the fuse, declaring that anyone over the age of ten saying “two more sleeps” needs to grow up immediately. Rio fired back with his own beautifully unhinged take: rock concerts should have an intermission, just like musicals.

What follows is peak team chaos bold, petty, passionate, and utterly unnecessary.

0:53.4	It's a bigger athletic feat for them, really, than it is actual cricket. Because that is a lot. 40-day contrition. And I love the detail last week, ranging from ages 3 to 85. Who's taking a 3-year-old? Who's putting a 3-year-old in the Barmiamiami? Maybe that's what they do with Bay 13.

Christian, it is John Law's state funeral today. It is. Yeah. And the winner of the Backed Up Cup is driving the hearse. Oh. All right.
