Yeah.

You look at it and you go, "Oh, well, you know, like, that's, that's a yesteryear." It doesn't feel particularly real.

What this film has done, directed by Georgia Oakley, is she makes it feel as if you're there, like what it must have actually been like to live in that time.

It's very naturalistic, it's very realistic.

Um, it stars Daisy Edgar Jones, who you might remember, um, uh, from, um, I think Normal People.

It wasn't, wasn't good

...

Esme Creed-Miles is in it as well.

Yeah

... of causing a mental health global crisis.

They have been sued for billions of dollars.

They've paid vast settlements, um, for people, uh, who've taken class actions against them.

So it's a real stretch now to say that they're, you know, just this innocent, harmless social media platform.

I, I don't think you can really say that anymore.

So this film delves into, uh, a series of explosive reports published in The Wall Street Journal in 2011 that was called the Facebook Files.

Mm.

[laughs]

But I practiced the whole, uh, game, uh, to try to pronounce, I believe, Nawangani Tawase.

But guess who knows? Guess who has the definitive-

Hands up.

And, you know, there's a few people have complained about the quality of the performance, but let's not forget, this was hastily hobbled together, like, 48 hours out.

What did you make of it?

Well, I think this game in particular puts Chicago head coach Ben Johnson on that very, very short list of offensive masterminds with, you'd say, Kyle Shanahan and maybe Sean McVay as someone who can, you know, you lose your starting quarterback in Caleb Williams last week to a hamstring injury.

They had to start veteran backup Case Keenum.

I don't think he's started a game since 2023.

He's 38 years old.

They interviewed him before the game.

He said he was just happy to be there, that his little kids could get to watch him finally play a game of football.

Brock Purdy, is he your MVP frontrunner at this early stage? Look,

What happened there?

[chuckles] Look, it's a great question.

I think that's a question that anybody who watches the NFL are asking themselves today.

Like, to give you an idea of just how insane the National Football League is, you know, you've got Matthew Stafford, last year's MVP, he lost.

Dak Prescott, he lost.

Um, Jordan Love, he lost.

But do you know the quarterbacks who did win this week? Case Keenum, who hasn't played since 2023, Jameis Winston for New York, who we haven't seen famous Jameis starting a game for a long time, uh, and then you've got Marcus Mariota in this game against the Seahawks, the backup after a starter, uh, the starter for Washington, Jayden Daniels, dislocated his elbow last week.

Uh, Brock Purdy, is he a MVP front runner at this early stage?

What about the 49ers? Can they upset the LA Rams?

Rams?Well, you know, there's a reason why in the NFL, uh, we say it's any given Sunday.

Any given Sunday, any team can win, and I think that is certainly true of the 49ers against the Rams.

Um, the interesting wrinkle in all of it, of course, is they've already been here for a week getting, um, acclimated to the conditions, to the time zone.

The 49ers are gonna...

Uh, the, the Rams, sorry, are gonna arrive tomorrow.

Uh, their body clocks are not even gonna adjust.

What should we be looking out for week one outside of the Australian game?

The 49ers are going to, the Rams, sorry, are going to arrive tomorrow.

Their body clocks are not even going to adjust.

They're going to actually try and trick their bodies into thinking that jet lag isn't a thing and stay on American time, which is a wild, wild approach.

What should we be looking out for week one outside of the Australian game?

Why has he come out of retirement, three years after retiring?

Yeah, well, it's really unprecedented for a player with his resume to have this long off and then come back.

He hasn't sacked a quarterback since I think it was December 2023 or something like that.

Just astonishing stuff.

But I think there's a couple of factors.

And It seemed as though it was a done deal when the rumours first started floating around.

But from what I understand, it was really something that went down to the wire.

Give us your preview of this game about a week and a half out.

What can we expect from the MCG?

The NFL is very keen to expand the game into new markets.

There's big financial benefits to doing so.

I wouldn't say either team are very enthusiastic about it.

Listening to some of the comments from the coaches, Carl Shanahan of the 49ers and Sean McVay from the Rams, who are good mates, very similar coaching tree that they come from.

They're not extremely enthusiastic about having the first game of the season being a divisional game, which are the toughest games in the NFL and all the way in Australia.

It's fascinating.

So what do you feel has been the biggest story this offseason leading into 26-27 in the NFL?
