F.R.E.A.M Pod Round 14 Preview

[upbeat music] All right, gang, uh, welcome back to the Footy Rules Everything Around Me podcast Ahe- AKA-

Hey, yo

...

FREAM.

Uh-

Get on top.

No, no, Get on pod.

[laughs]

Get on pod.

Get on pod.

Yeah, Get on pod.

Get on pod, it is.

That's how we'll, um, attract, uh, some new guests, which are on the way.

Um, but-

They are on the way

... being the long weekend, um, in Australia, um, you know, it's not really necessary this weekend.

Joey Salem, Scoops, Lenny, and I'm Gus.

Welcome you to, uh, our newly named FREAM Pod after the conclusion of round 13.

And, uh, gang, we're gonna mix up the format, um, I guess.

We, we teased out some changes to our, uh, content structure last week, but we didn't do any work to prepare for that.

No.

So we've done that this week.

No.

This week, it's all new.

What are we doing, Lenny?

We're doing...

It was all Joey's idea.

Uh, instead of-

Okay

... doing hot or snot into review of the games, which, um, we've tried.

We've tried for three years now.

Yeah.

We cannot get that under an hour 20.

[laughs] So-

No

... what we've decided to do is we're blending both segments into one.

Um, we haven't copied any show, but let's just say the segment's called the FREAM Agenda Setters.

Mm-hmm.

And-

It's called Just, Just the, Just the Snot.

[laughs]

[laughs]

And we've got, I think I said...

I'm about to say 10, but I actually think it's nine agenda items to get through.

Yeah, we've got a...

We'll, we'll, we'll do it more like a pub chat with a whole bunch of, uh, you know, talking points.

Yeah.

And most of them will cover the games, but I think, uh, yeah.

Yep.

It was sort of a limiting factor, right? To be talking about, say, for instance, this past weekend, talk about Fremantle and North Melbourne for 45 minutes, uh, which is boring as shit.

So we'll change it up.

But we still may.

Let's not, let's not back ourselves into a corner we can't get out of, all right?

That's true.

So-

That is true

... we still, we, we, we very well may.

All right, a quick, uh, rundown of the round that was.

Um, as Lenny pointed out before, all bar one game...

No, that's actually wrong.

Uh, most games were within a goal, um-

Mm-hmm.

by, uh-

Yeah

... margin, the only exceptions being the Saturday games, with the QClash being a five-goal win to Brisbane, and then Fremantle's smashing of North by 20, 21 goals.

There you go.

Is it-

Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo

...

I know in Queensland they do not have the, um, public holiday today, the King's Birthday holiday, which required me-

Do you not-

... to actually-

Do you not have that holiday?

No.

That's crazy.

I actually had to log on for work today because of them, and they also had, their football match also wasn't within a goal margin, so-

Mm.

Yeah.

Mm.

That sucks.

Mm.

Two strikes.

Two strikes right there.

You logged on today, Joey, uh, double time and a half.

You know, like, you know, uh, uh, being a former JB Hi-Fi employee, we always love that-

[laughs]

... uh, double time and a half public holiday, uh, rate, you know what I'm saying? Yeah.

No, no, I, I think I got the double time and the shut the hell up.

[laughs]

That, that, that was the rate that I got.

[laughs]

[laughs]

You should double shut up.

[laughs]

Which me- wh- which means keep talking.

Um, all right.

Let's launch into the agenda setters [laughs] I guess.

Um-

[laughs] Pattern pending

... with the first, uh, talking topic now, a little self-indulgent.

Yeah.

Talking topic one, reactions to the new pod name.

Lenny, um, any whispers your way? Uh, uh, I can say categorically most of the people that I've spoken to fucking hate it.
