Banter RDT 161 - Football’s Just Popped Out For A Pint Of Milk

Gladiators was incredible TV for me as an 8 year old.

I never got into WWE as a country kid but watching Gladiators and hearing "and the last Gladiator in the Gauntlet is........ VULCAN!!!! Used to just send me around the room like a headless chook. Same for Taipan on rings.

Also playing mock Gladiator games like Pyramid on couches was amazing.

They have the balance beam above a foam pit with the foam paddle things at the trampoline joints around the place. Pretty good. I knocked my 3 year old off a few times just to remind him who's boss

Ooooft, pretty good in both.

Get your mind out of the gutter.

Ultimate Ninja Warrior is just Gladiators but less awesome.

Gold in the park skateboarding! Obliterated the competition with a ridiculous score.

Looks like a fun event too. Celebrating each other's success. Bit like the surf tour.

Can we safely talk about the Boomers game or does the time of the game mean there's an embargo until people can catch up after work?

In a modern, connected world, it's hard to avoid results in real time. Your sentiment is a thoughtful one (Trucko =/= The A5) but let's just say that from this point on, there may be spoilers ahead.

And with that, the lead is halved.

I feel like any live sport is fair game on a sport forum. Whenever I'm working during sport I want to watch I just avoid BF.

Yeah, as an absolute tragic I will turn my phone off and avoid everything all day just to watch a late replay. People at work know the drill. Only way to go.

WFH today but have a meeting that starts at 1:30 (i.e. the worst possible time today)

Definitely a similarity in the willingness to defend vs stand there and watch.

Yeah no s**t. Just tuned out. I'll save my data

Who do we get in the bronze medal game? And are they any good?
