Aussie Backyard Banter

Ep. 22 – "Wet Weather, Whisper Man & a Sunday Sports Sweep"

Oct 25

Mitch and James Beale are back for a packed Sunday sports catch-up. Wet-weather Supercars at the Gold Coast, international netball, rugby league, baseball, NFL, and James’s latest Netflix watch all get a run.

What We Covered:
  • Gold Coast 500 — Wet qualifying and racing, Chaz Mostert’s win, Brock Feeney in qualifying, the tight track, and why the weather just has to be sucked up
  • Constellation Cup — Australia drop the first two to New Zealand (56–50 and 62–50), and whether the Kiwis are closing the gap
  • MLB — World Series update, Yankees out, Brewers vs Rays, and how the best-of-seven actually works
  • NFL — James’s take on game length and why baseball feels more watchable
  • Rugby League World Cups — Men’s, women’s and wheelchair all running together, Australia’s strong starts, and whether staging them at the same time lifts the women’s game
  • Movie Review — James on The Whisper Man (Netflix): 3/5, slower moments, but it holds
  • Recommendation — Both rate the Chernobyl miniseries as a standout

Loose Sunday banter with sport, streaming, and one solid Chernobyl push.
