Here’s a freebie for you: the thing about bets—bets you’ve wagered online, to your thousands of cult followers—is that you bloody well have to honour them.
Case in point: ya boy Karl Stefanovic, gearing up for the streak of his freaking life, live on ‘Today‘, this morning.
ICYMI, it started like this:

A relatively innocent bet, set up by a man who’s known for doing this kind of thing in the past.
To Karlos’ detriment—or perhaps by an act of God, wanting to see Stefanovic’s goolies and/or cheeks live on air—Australia swiftly suffered one of the cruelest defeats in Test history at the Ashes.
Nine’s executive David Gyngell then ensured the deal was well and truly sealed.

And now, friends, with Christopher Pyne and Anthony Albanese already set to appear on today’s show to potentially witness the display, we wait.
GAME ON, KARLOS.
Karl made a promise to Australia on Twitter last night. LIKE if you’d LOVE to see it happen this morning!#Today9
