About this episode

The episode discusses Australia's perception of AFL as the most overrated sport and explores other overrated topics.

Aperol Spritz copped it earlier this week and the audience agreed overwhelmingly. Now we go wider: Australia has voted AFL the most overrated sport, which Tim, a Hawthorn supporter who watched them draw with Collingwood in the most nail-biting finish last night, is taking as a personal attack. Most overrated TV shows: Big Bang Theory and How I Met Your Mother, unpopular opinion delivered with full confidence. Most overrated Sydney thing: the beaches, according to a Gold Coast native who we will not be taking seriously. And a listener nominated croissants as the Aperol Spritz of food, which is brave and wrong but we respect the commitment. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
