In this episode, We’re back!! After disappearing off the face of the earth for a while, CSP has returned with no explanation, no structure and somehow 50 minutes worth of absolute nonsense to get through. We kick things off with where the hell we’ve been, before immediately questioning whether FC 27 is actually an upgrade or whether EA have just changed the number on the box and expected us to hand over another $100. From there we run through everything happening in the sporting world, including the Nations League, which nobody really gives a fuck about, Australia somehow holding Brazil to a 1-1 draw and the Newcastle Knights producing one of the most unbelievable wins you’ll see over Penrith. Nathan Cleary’s injury gets dissected, the hip drop debate continues and then we get into the Group 1 Punt Off. Warwoven wins the Golden Rose, Fremantle absolutely shit the bed in the Wharfie, Everest slots are still available and everyone is scrambling to work out who gets the remaining spots. Then, after apparently finding his way back from whatever Belmont-shaped cave he was hiding in, The Goatmen returns with five winners. From there the episode completely falls off the rails. Is Grand Final pre-game entertainment actually worth the hype? Haaland has scored against every Premier League team he’s faced, and somehow this leads us into the completely unrelated topic of waking up blind drunk, smashing your shin into the coffee table and then having to negotiate your way to the kitchen like you’re escaping a war zone. We question why grown men are still doing choreographed entrance dances at their mates’ weddings, why influencers are spending their lives recreating recipes that already exist, and whether it’s socially acceptable to support two teams in the same sport without being labelled a complete fraud. We then move onto players getting booked for celebrations, the unwritten law of how close you need to be to an elevator before someone is obligated to hold the fucking thing, people absolutely abusing the horn for no reason, and the ongoing battle of trying to get an Uber Eats delivery to a house with no number, no lights and apparently no intention of being found. And finally, because this is supposedly a sports podcast, we remember there’s an NRL Grand Final happening and get stuck into the preview, the match-up, the tips and whatever we can come up with before kick-off. CSP is back. An hour of sport, punts, arguments, questionable logic and conversations that absolutely did not need to happen.
