Soccer, comedy and culture with special guest Anthony Locascio

We're a couple weeks late to publish this episode, but it was recorded on September 11, 2021, the 20th anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks.

We have an update on the future of the podcast. Perth in COVID-19 lockdown again. And the European Super League.

It's a robust family affair with listener Karl. He's Mel and Dom's cousin and a keen listener of the Chronicles, and he's lucky enough to get his mug on camera in this 4-way free-for-all to discuss accusations leveled at Australia's Attorney General, Christian Porter, Joe Biden's mental state and U.S. politics, The Sopranos, funny movies, and Karl's favourite topic: conspiracies.

We wrap up the Western Australian state election shambles for the WA Liberal Party, give our thoughts on the Princess Harry & Princess Meghan on Queen Oprah Show, as well as Piers Morgan quitting his Good Morning Britain show. And we review Coming 2 America so that you don't ever have to watch it!

Joe Biden dropping bombs on Syria, our local Western Australian state politics with an election looming in less than a couple of weeks' time, the WAxit party's secession plan for WA. The Liberal and Labor parties tricking voters into handing over their personal details, tinpot dictator Premier Mark McGowan turning WA in to a police state and his announcement that he intends to keep the border closed long after the pandemic ends.

We discuss Eddie McGuire being forced to step down as the president of the Collingwood Football Club, Tom Brady winning his 7th Superbowl, GOAT of world sports discussion, and Bruce Springsteen's ad for Jeep about unifying America during the Superbowl halftime break.

Perth, our little self-isolated town at the bottom of the world has caught a curious case of the COVIDS, and we're coming to you from lockdown. The shorting of the GameStop shares and the battle between Wall St hedge fund players and Reddit consumer investors. Dom gives a thorough explanation of what shorting is. Lionel's Messi contract leak saga. And then we laugh out loud while discussing the Operation Odessa documentary.

An action-packed episode and one of our best yet. A robust conversation about the "insurrection" of the Capitol building in Washington D.C. We ask whether Trump incited it, what they hoped to achieve and what they actually achieved. Also, big tech censorship and freedom of speech with DonalD Trump banned from social media! And the Parler app being banned from the Google and Apple app stores and being kicked off Amazon's web servers.

Paolo Rossi, the goalscoring star of the Italian 1982 World Cup winning team in Spain has died. We celebrate the legend of "Pablito". We also discuss an AFL draft nominee telling the media that he didn't want to be drafted outside of Victoria. Did Mercedes purposely throw away a Formula 1 victory? Our fearful WA Premier. Have you downloaded the SafeWA app? Millwall FC fans boo their own team.. Are sport fans tired of being lectured to?

On the morning of November 26th, 2020, in Australia we woke up to the shocking news that the great Diego Armando Maradona had died. In this episode of Chronicles On The Fly, Simon, Mel & Dom pay tribute to Maradona with our thoughts and memories of the greatest footballer and sportsman of all time.
