You've just rolled back in, Matthew, 0:00:03.480 --> 0:00:08.720 into the podcast studio, into the home, no shower, sleepy 0:00:08.720 --> 0:00:11.200 in the eyes. You have had one of the worst travel. 0:00:11.600 --> 0:00:13.480 You don't have a lot of luck with travel home. 0:00:13.600 --> 0:00:15.720 I don't like you're eleven hours late. 0:00:16.200 --> 0:00:19.120 Yeah, Trius, you missed it from Nevada earlier in the year. 0:00:19.120 --> 0:00:20.279 He might have had the little of trouble on that 0:00:20.320 --> 0:00:20.760 way as well. 0:00:21.960 --> 0:00:23.279 See what happens when I'm not there. 0:00:23.600 --> 0:00:25.200 They tried to bump into Economy X. 0:00:25.320 --> 0:00:28.360 Yeah, and then they and on the way have lost 0:00:28.400 --> 0:00:31.400 my bag and the way over this one you lost 0:00:31.400 --> 0:00:32.120 like dover. 0:00:32.080 --> 0:00:33.800 And do you know what, he didn't have a meltdown? 0:00:34.960 --> 0:00:35.880 Did you not melt down? 0:00:35.920 --> 0:00:36.160 Back? 0:00:36.880 --> 0:00:39.400 No, because can you tell people what exactly happened? 0:00:39.440 --> 0:00:42.320 I look what happened, and like it was, it was 0:00:42.400 --> 0:00:46.280 just a series of series of events. So flow from 0:00:46.320 --> 0:00:50.440 Washington to Dallas and everything's okay there and then all 0:00:50.440 --> 0:00:52.800 of a sudden we're about to board. Everyone on the 0:00:52.840 --> 0:00:54.880 plane they said, oh, look there's been a bit of 0:00:54.920 --> 0:00:59.920 a something happened on there's a plane that's having difficulties. 0:01:00.120 --> 0:01:03.400 Unfortunately it's blocked our path. Picking so we're gonna have 0:01:03.440 --> 0:01:06.200 to wait for that's fixed. So they kept delaying this 0:01:06.280 --> 0:01:08.400 twenty minutes, twenty minutes, twenty they sort of dripped fed 0:01:08.400 --> 0:01:09.240 your bad information. 0:01:09.400 --> 0:01:12.679 So that is so true. I hate it on a 0:01:12.680 --> 0:01:15.959 flight when you know you've got to be there. And 0:01:16.080 --> 0:01:19.160 I'm also like, I rather know that it's only half 0:01:19.160 --> 0:01:21.119 an hour, even if it's going to be two hours, 0:01:21.160 --> 0:01:22.760 just so I can think short goals. 0:01:22.959 --> 0:01:25.200 Yeah, mate, And they just dripped for you just end 0:01:25.280 --> 0:01:29.960 up to about two hours later. Because even then they went, okay, now, guys, 0:01:30.000 --> 0:01:33.520 we've got further our news. Although it's moved. We've moved 0:01:33.520 --> 0:01:37.160 the other plane. Our plane suddenly has got have some difficulties. 0:01:37.280 --> 0:01:39.679 It's getting work done. So about two and a half 0:01:39.720 --> 0:01:43.160 hours we get on we jump on board right and 0:01:43.160 --> 0:01:45.080 they go okay, goes just a little bit of people 0:01:45.080 --> 0:01:49.640 work to do here. And then forty minutes later he goes. 0:01:49.760 --> 0:01:52.200 The guy goes, okay, guys, hate to hit me some 0:01:52.520 --> 0:01:57.840 further bad news. But union union rules dictate that the 0:01:57.920 --> 0:02:02.160 crew can't be in the air more than a certain 0:02:02.200 --> 0:02:04.400 amount of hours, and if we fly from here to Sydney, 0:02:04.440 --> 0:02:06.800 that exceeds by an hour. So guys, we're going to 0:02:06.840 --> 0:02:09.840 fly you to Auckland firstly, and we're going to see 0:02:09.880 --> 0:02:13.440 whether then we can get another crew on. You guys, disembark, 0:02:13.680 --> 0:02:16.400 go out, get another crew on, or you stay the 0:02:16.480 --> 0:02:19.399 night in Auckland. And everyone's on plate Like I just went. 0:02:19.600 --> 0:02:20.960 I just flew with it. But he had people on 0:02:20.960 --> 0:02:23.560 the plane. There's a bloke behind me. He had his 0:02:23.960 --> 0:02:26.799 had to be back for his daughter's birthday. How old 0:02:26.919 --> 0:02:33.160 was she? Well, he was actually the guy from who 0:02:33.160 --> 0:02:34.320 won Survivor of America. 0:02:35.320 --> 0:02:37.320 He were sitting next to it behind me. 0:02:37.800 --> 0:02:41.800 Yeah, I was getting off, he said, and he was 0:02:41.840 --> 0:02:43.880 asking me in He was an Australian guy. He won 0:02:43.960 --> 0:02:44.400 it over there. 0:02:44.440 --> 0:02:47.680 I think he's like the overall Chap. I read something 0:02:47.720 --> 0:02:48.240 about him. 0:02:50.040 --> 0:02:51.160 I think I've met him before. 0:02:51.280 --> 0:02:52.880 Think they got champions. 0:02:52.880 --> 0:02:55.520 He's an Aussie. Yeah, and he's won the whole Yeah, 0:02:55.560 --> 0:02:57.760 because they must have done like a country version of. 0:02:57.880 --> 0:03:00.120 I think so, like he won the overall. Yeah, you 0:03:00.200 --> 0:03:01.080 remember reaching. 0:03:01.200 --> 0:03:03.399 He asked me, said what are you doing? He said, 0:03:03.440 --> 0:03:05.480 over there, they're always looking for people from different countries 0:03:05.520 --> 0:03:06.880 to do it. Would you be interested in doing it? 0:03:07.200 --> 0:03:10.160 And said Survive of America? And I said, mate, there. 0:03:10.040 --> 0:03:13.560 Is not a chance in the that's one thing I do. 0:03:13.680 --> 0:03:17.120 I'd love Survivor. Yeah, yeah, would be cool. 0:03:17.120 --> 0:03:21.400 But let's be honest, like Dad on Survivor, Survivor of 0:03:21.440 --> 0:03:23.680 all the reality, Dad, it was good. 0:03:24.080 --> 0:03:25.000 What is like? 0:03:27.120 --> 0:03:28.880 It's not like the Army one. 0:03:29.280 --> 0:03:30.800 No, but it's not like you need to be skilled 0:03:30.800 --> 0:03:32.520 on things like hunting and fishing. 0:03:33.200 --> 0:03:35.000 Not so much. It's more of it. It's like the 0:03:35.400 --> 0:03:38.200 it's similar to mafia in a way. It's psychological. You've 0:03:38.200 --> 0:03:41.760 got to sort of manipulate people. It is more physical 0:03:41.800 --> 0:03:44.720 than that. But I can already see Dad's theme song 0:03:44.760 --> 0:03:47.320 if you walked out for Survivor, it would be something 0:03:47.520 --> 0:03:50.760 like Survivor by Destiny's Child. 0:03:51.720 --> 0:03:56.960 I was thinking more of either Tiger by being Survivor first. 0:03:56.720 --> 0:03:57.440 I was afraid? 0:03:59.320 --> 0:04:02.520 Is that by Servi No? 0:04:02.720 --> 0:04:04.360 And what's the song called I Will Survive? 0:04:04.760 --> 0:04:05.920 I will survive? 0:04:06.280 --> 0:04:07.760 Yeah? 0:04:08.640 --> 0:04:10.440 Getting back, we're okay, We're okay. 0:04:10.520 --> 0:04:13.120 There was a good crew on the that's the worst 0:04:13.160 --> 0:04:16.279 thing that happens. You're okay, right, That's what I didn't 0:04:16.279 --> 0:04:17.239 fall out of this guy. 0:04:17.200 --> 0:04:21.120 Did you. There comes a certain point when you delayed 0:04:21.120 --> 0:04:23.080 that much you almost wish you had. 0:04:23.320 --> 0:04:24.240 No, that's not true. 0:04:24.279 --> 0:04:26.200 Getting back, we got back. It was a good result. 0:04:26.320 --> 0:04:29.320 Can I ask right, because I get like, did you 0:04:29.400 --> 0:04:31.800 have was there a moment if you have any incidents? 0:04:31.920 --> 0:04:31.960 No? 0:04:32.839 --> 0:04:36.360 You did at all. No, I didn't mate because I've 0:04:36.360 --> 0:04:38.880 got a bloke with Ben Hogarth. Of course people knowing 0:04:38.960 --> 0:04:41.360 from you does your flesh and heind and stuff. Leon 0:04:41.440 --> 0:04:44.359 was on the trip as well. But Ben is a 0:04:44.400 --> 0:04:48.160 real can do man morning Glory, his can do man. 0:04:48.200 --> 0:04:49.880 So he just goes no problem and to go and 0:04:49.920 --> 0:04:51.800 ask him about this is what. But even he was 0:04:51.800 --> 0:04:53.960 starting to lose. He was fraying around there. First time 0:04:53.960 --> 0:04:55.920 I've seen it from the Big Yetti's funny. 0:04:55.920 --> 0:04:59.760 I was telling someone. I was telling someone and Trisha 0:04:59.760 --> 0:05:03.800 your the best person to I suppose agree with me 0:05:03.880 --> 0:05:08.440 on this. Dad is almost like an Australian post package, right. 0:05:08.960 --> 0:05:10.799 All you need to do you need to write down 0:05:11.120 --> 0:05:14.480 his contact information, where he's going, and you need to 0:05:14.720 --> 0:05:17.680 basically deliver him straight to the odd post guy. I 0:05:17.680 --> 0:05:20.000 get it scanned and he's just delivered through it. Like, 0:05:20.360 --> 0:05:22.760 don't do anything on your own. So when you when 0:05:22.839 --> 0:05:24.920 you have someone like Ben Hogarth there, who I suppose 0:05:25.000 --> 0:05:27.440 is like your carrier. He's a boat that's literally driving 0:05:27.440 --> 0:05:29.480 you from A to B when things go wrong, you 0:05:29.520 --> 0:05:30.360 feel more comfortable. 0:05:30.480 --> 0:05:34.719 I take care of it, shows that I am seriously oc. 0:05:34.880 --> 0:05:36.240 Do you want to get some travel? I put my 0:05:36.320 --> 0:05:38.640 wallet and my passport in the bag and I put 0:05:38.680 --> 0:05:40.440 it in the other head locker, and I go, oh, 0:05:40.520 --> 0:05:42.520 what if it might have fallen out? Well, get up 0:05:42.760 --> 0:05:45.480 to put two or three different times. 0:05:45.320 --> 0:05:48.800 Your wallet sees you. I reckon thirty times just staring 0:05:48.839 --> 0:05:49.039 at it. 0:05:49.520 --> 0:05:50.360 Should we got a collar? 0:05:50.400 --> 0:05:52.520 Should we get him a collar? Just like a gold 0:05:52.600 --> 0:05:54.600 collar that has all this contact information on it? 0:05:55.560 --> 0:05:56.839 And ah do you think? 0:05:56.960 --> 0:05:59.800 Do you think like? Because in the TV world, Matthew, 0:06:00.000 --> 0:06:03.359 as you say, you'll were regarded as hosts are technically 0:06:03.440 --> 0:06:07.560 regarded as talent, and then the producer, the producer has 0:06:07.600 --> 0:06:09.680 to sort of sometimes, you know, do a lot of 0:06:09.680 --> 0:06:11.839 groundwork for the talent. Do you think it's in the 0:06:11.880 --> 0:06:14.600 producer's role to be have to be their escort? 0:06:14.800 --> 0:06:18.719 I will say, will say, Jack, I absolutely despise that 0:06:18.800 --> 0:06:25.920 word that we'll look after. I love that word. Chout 0:06:25.960 --> 0:06:27.000 out to all the girls out there. 0:06:27.960 --> 0:06:30.080 Yeah, and the centers who are running wingers. 0:06:29.800 --> 0:06:34.360 Off the ball. Nicely played Trish. 0:06:34.880 --> 0:06:37.520 You might be Dad today, you might be the one 0:06:37.560 --> 0:06:39.760 I'm bouncing off today. Well, not very funny from you. 0:06:40.440 --> 0:06:41.520 Sorry dog, What were you saying? 0:06:41.560 --> 0:06:45.760 No, no, no, I was saying that I forget that 0:06:45.839 --> 0:06:48.920 doesn't but it was I'm got to say it was 0:06:48.960 --> 0:06:52.760 an amazing trip. It was an amazing trip. So much 0:06:52.960 --> 0:06:55.080 we did so much. It was so much fun. 0:06:55.480 --> 0:06:58.400 Washington, d C. As a city, good city. 0:06:58.560 --> 0:07:03.520 Really nice and and it's look we went there because 0:07:03.520 --> 0:07:05.880 you did the whole the UFC thing and go into 0:07:05.880 --> 0:07:07.599 the White House and all that sort of stuff. It 0:07:07.640 --> 0:07:10.000 was served on a plate a little bit. Yeah, but 0:07:10.160 --> 0:07:12.000 it's a good city. I'd recommend people going to have 0:07:12.000 --> 0:07:13.640 a look. Like the history of it's pretty amazing. 0:07:14.080 --> 0:07:16.440 That's what I've heard. It's a great historical city. 0:07:16.480 --> 0:07:18.520 Even the bars you go to. You walk into certain 0:07:18.600 --> 0:07:20.320 bars and they say, mate, this is the place where 0:07:20.360 --> 0:07:23.480 Lincoln would drink like way back, and yeah, so it's 0:07:23.520 --> 0:07:24.840 a lot of a lot of history. 0:07:25.600 --> 0:07:29.360 So hot nearly almost forty you've come back with the 0:07:29.400 --> 0:07:31.000 ten forty. 0:07:30.720 --> 0:07:33.960 Degrees and there was a big thing on for the 0:07:34.080 --> 0:07:37.560 night with the UFC. Number one been too hot, number two. 0:07:38.920 --> 0:07:41.160 So they had about four or five mats that are 0:07:41.200 --> 0:07:43.880 going to change after its fight if it was too 0:07:43.920 --> 0:07:47.000 hot or it had been raining, but it didn't matter. 0:07:47.080 --> 0:07:48.080 It was perfect condition. 0:07:48.080 --> 0:07:51.080 Is that another reason that they had it on so late? 0:07:51.640 --> 0:07:55.400 Probably? No, that was just for the international audience and 0:07:55.440 --> 0:07:58.160 the American audience on the East and West coast right. 0:07:58.200 --> 0:08:03.480 But it was Yeah, the event itself. Going to the event, 0:08:03.800 --> 0:08:07.560 it was pretty crazy. If it reminded where where all 0:08:07.560 --> 0:08:10.000 the public were reminded me of the big, big day 0:08:10.000 --> 0:08:12.160 out like the music festival. 0:08:12.240 --> 0:08:15.880 Yeah, that's years ago were they are doing drugs? 0:08:16.160 --> 0:08:18.520 No big day years ago when I went there twenty thirteen, 0:08:18.600 --> 0:08:21.000 the year the year before they canceled and it was 0:08:21.040 --> 0:08:24.480 the Australian Record Australia Day and Dad was there with 0:08:24.920 --> 0:08:27.480 a few with a pretty wild crew from Triple. 0:08:27.680 --> 0:08:29.480 We get the photo the bloke hanging dick out. 0:08:29.600 --> 0:08:31.119 Yeah, Dovak's cousin. 0:08:31.560 --> 0:08:32.320 Yeah. 0:08:32.400 --> 0:08:34.360 Yeah, Jack played junior footy with do back. 0:08:34.400 --> 0:08:37.600 He used to a calm Matt Johnson bloken photo a 0:08:37.600 --> 0:08:39.319 trip Land were going on make We put a statement 0:08:39.320 --> 0:08:40.760 out and I said, mate, I've got a photo with 0:08:40.800 --> 0:08:44.560 a bloke and he hang his slug out uncircumcised too. 0:08:44.720 --> 0:08:46.679 Yeah, not that it did look like. 0:08:48.880 --> 0:08:51.160 It actually was. I've seen a few I've got there. 0:08:51.160 --> 0:08:53.200 I've got the picture too, still on my phone. We 0:08:53.320 --> 0:08:55.640 obviously probably can't put it out with the slug in it, 0:08:55.720 --> 0:08:57.360 but maybe we can put a little like my face. 0:08:58.160 --> 0:09:01.640 We can put my face over the slug anyway, irrelevant, 0:09:01.640 --> 0:09:04.080 but dick face. So that was actually called that was 0:09:04.080 --> 0:09:07.480 called a sneaking nut. So at the time, angry boys, 0:09:07.520 --> 0:09:10.400 Angry boys, what's the was the actor of Chris Lily, 0:09:10.640 --> 0:09:13.920 the Little Man, Lil Wayne and Chris Lily. He they 0:09:14.120 --> 0:09:15.640 had a thing in there called a sneaking nut where 0:09:15.679 --> 0:09:18.360 he always just take pictures with his nut out. And 0:09:18.480 --> 0:09:19.920 this guy thought, I'm going to take it to the 0:09:19.960 --> 0:09:25.080 next level with Maddie John's and he pulled his whole YAMJ. 0:09:23.760 --> 0:09:27.680 Fan apparently crystally. He listens to Matthew honestly and everything. Yeah, 0:09:27.679 --> 0:09:28.000 I heard that. 0:09:28.040 --> 0:09:31.480 It's actually really clearly you want him. I could not 0:09:31.520 --> 0:09:35.200 imagine would you make that up? Jack got me. I 0:09:35.280 --> 0:09:36.760 was like, he'd be a great interview. 0:09:36.840 --> 0:09:39.920 But it was in the area just outside that was 0:09:39.960 --> 0:09:42.520 the main area of the White House, but just outside 0:09:42.520 --> 0:09:46.000 that had this huge, huge park, eighty thousand people there. 0:09:46.080 --> 0:09:47.920 What was because you did we spoke to you in 0:09:47.960 --> 0:09:50.160 the lead up, but like the actual day, the night 0:09:50.240 --> 0:09:53.960 itself was insane. How how the atmosphere there because we 0:09:54.000 --> 0:09:56.199 see State of Origin people are drunk everywhere. Was it 0:09:56.320 --> 0:09:56.680 like that? 0:09:57.480 --> 0:09:59.959 I'll say this, The atmosphere on the night was electric. 0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:02.680 Flying when it started, when when Dana Trump and when 0:10:03.040 --> 0:10:05.840 Dana Trump, when Dana White. 0:10:05.840 --> 0:10:07.719 And Donald trumped out of the. 0:10:07.640 --> 0:10:12.600 Oval Office together, Mate, the Plano was just going absolutely bananas. 0:10:12.760 --> 0:10:14.240 I've never felt anything like it. 0:10:14.320 --> 0:10:16.760 The photos are epic, like the photos that I don't 0:10:16.800 --> 0:10:18.400 know who if it was the UFC or the White 0:10:18.440 --> 0:10:20.120 House staff that were getting the photos of them as 0:10:20.120 --> 0:10:22.600 they're walking out, but there's a shot right behind them 0:10:22.679 --> 0:10:25.200 as the planes are going like the jets are going 0:10:25.280 --> 0:10:27.840 over like the White House, and it's like a shot 0:10:28.080 --> 0:10:30.000 of them watching it as the crowds in front of 0:10:30.040 --> 0:10:31.800 them from behind. Jack, insane, Jack. 0:10:31.920 --> 0:10:35.760 The jets came over like just at full force and 0:10:35.800 --> 0:10:38.160 they weren't like there are only about two hundred meters 0:10:38.200 --> 0:10:40.480 in the air. And Mate, it was actually her. 0:10:40.600 --> 0:10:41.840 You could feel it was the. 0:10:41.720 --> 0:10:43.280 Pain it felt through your body. 0:10:43.679 --> 0:10:45.920 It was I was about to say, what is the 0:10:46.000 --> 0:10:46.520 name for that is? 0:10:46.559 --> 0:10:47.079 But it was. 0:10:47.360 --> 0:10:47.600 It was. 0:10:48.080 --> 0:10:50.240 And interviewing a lot of the fighters before it made 0:10:50.440 --> 0:10:53.440 a lot of the fighters Class Acts. They're really really good, 0:10:53.480 --> 0:10:56.120 except that dead shot is said made. There was a 0:10:56.120 --> 0:10:59.680 big blow up. The people who were Trump fans there 0:10:59.760 --> 0:11:02.680 were blowing up when he goes, Michelle Obama is a man. 0:11:02.880 --> 0:11:07.560 Yeah, he was just I was watching that. In the 0:11:07.559 --> 0:11:11.439 same interview he said like he was, like, I love 0:11:11.520 --> 0:11:15.840 Jesus Christ and then called out Alex Pereira and like 0:11:15.920 --> 0:11:18.360 and called out his mum and then said Michelle Obama's 0:11:18.360 --> 0:11:20.040 a man. I was so confused. I don't know that 0:11:20.040 --> 0:11:21.120 he's going on his rambling. 0:11:21.240 --> 0:11:23.800 But when we did the interview day we interviewed Ilia 0:11:24.040 --> 0:11:27.959 and justin Gagee. He walked in and he was standing 0:11:27.960 --> 0:11:30.760 there putting some around, saying a thing, and the guy said, 0:11:30.760 --> 0:11:32.839 the guy from the UFC goes, Maddie, would you like 0:11:32.880 --> 0:11:36.079 to interview him? I said absolutely not. He just could 0:11:36.120 --> 0:11:36.880 see he was a cock. 0:11:37.040 --> 0:11:39.520 Yeah, and you know, it was cool like it was 0:11:39.600 --> 0:11:41.920 it's it's the most American thing that you'll ever see 0:11:41.920 --> 0:11:45.400 in your life, like just patriotic, like the veterans walking 0:11:45.480 --> 0:11:48.080 him out on the White House lawn. It got me thinking, 0:11:48.160 --> 0:11:51.200 what is the most Australian thing we like in terms 0:11:51.240 --> 0:11:52.840 of venue. If we were to put a big sporting 0:11:52.840 --> 0:11:55.040 event on like say we put a state of origin 0:11:55.240 --> 0:11:57.640 in an event, or a fight is easier, like a 0:11:57.679 --> 0:11:59.840 fight on the harbor bridge, that'd. 0:11:59.559 --> 0:12:02.240 Be pretty Where is everyone watching it? 0:12:02.520 --> 0:12:05.960 There's on the bridge the bridge, Yeah, well on boats 0:12:05.960 --> 0:12:06.680 and that like below. 0:12:06.760 --> 0:12:10.160 I don't know, or imagine like in the. 0:12:10.120 --> 0:12:13.640 Outbout boating pontoon in Sydney Harbor. 0:12:13.480 --> 0:12:16.520 In Sydney Harbor and then you're on the bridge watching 0:12:16.559 --> 0:12:19.080 it and she's gonna have boats around. 0:12:19.160 --> 0:12:22.000 You're amazing, you know else to be sick, like in 0:12:22.080 --> 0:12:26.920 the outback. When people think of Australia International, you think 0:12:26.960 --> 0:12:30.440 like as Rock in the background, people just fighting and 0:12:30.559 --> 0:12:33.320 kangaroos they just and they. 0:12:33.360 --> 0:12:36.640 And the cameras everywhere. Camel's everywhere, But you don't think. 0:12:36.440 --> 0:12:37.559 Of camels in Australia. 0:12:37.600 --> 0:12:39.400 I don't think. I don't think the fight would be 0:12:39.440 --> 0:12:42.640 the main draw card. I think if we're doing in Australia, 0:12:42.720 --> 0:12:44.120 it have to be like a horse race, you know 0:12:44.160 --> 0:12:46.440 what I mean, something like that, like something that sort 0:12:46.440 --> 0:12:48.760 of goes in hand with Australian culture. 0:12:49.320 --> 0:12:54.120 But it was just it's the patriotism is just the 0:12:54.200 --> 0:12:56.600 level and all the marines were there, but you walk 0:12:56.640 --> 0:12:58.600 into a bar. You walk into a bar in an American 0:12:59.000 --> 0:13:01.840 and something like a and something happened in America and 0:13:01.840 --> 0:13:04.280 they'll all stand everyone at the bar and do it 0:13:04.320 --> 0:13:07.320 for the national anthem. Stuff like that had like on 0:13:07.360 --> 0:13:09.520 the I Got cornered the day at the White House 0:13:09.520 --> 0:13:14.600 when you're going around with the Japanese guy Steve McGregor stuff, and. 0:13:14.480 --> 0:13:15.920 By the way, you've got his guard. 0:13:17.840 --> 0:13:21.240 At the the White House grounds on on Fight Night, 0:13:21.559 --> 0:13:24.839 there was all these college blakes and one of them goes, hey, 0:13:25.080 --> 0:13:29.000 are you that's Steve mcgre guy said yeah, I said yeah, 0:13:29.000 --> 0:13:31.120 I am that, and he goes, guys, come over, let's 0:13:31.120 --> 0:13:35.120 get a photo. Step McGregor guy with the Japanese guy, 0:13:35.200 --> 0:13:36.280 and that one of. 0:13:36.240 --> 0:13:37.840 Them did know that you went a box. 0:13:39.000 --> 0:13:41.720 They absolutely they were fully aware of that. 0:13:42.840 --> 0:13:44.520 Can I ask you, Matthew, because you're over there at 0:13:44.520 --> 0:13:47.800 the same time the Knicks he won the basketball, So 0:13:48.040 --> 0:13:50.960 there's a lot of footage of Ben Still, Timothy shallow 0:13:50.960 --> 0:13:53.760 May getting around of them. They're just lurking in the background. 0:13:53.760 --> 0:13:56.640 In fact, when they won, Timothy shallow May got accidentally 0:13:56.720 --> 0:13:59.600 got the winning champagne in his eye and he was 0:13:59.600 --> 0:14:01.880 like the thing and he's going, I'm not an athlete. 0:14:01.960 --> 0:14:04.000 I'm not an athlete. Pretty believable. 0:14:05.080 --> 0:14:08.199 I should get the big video for the podcast for Leon. 0:14:08.400 --> 0:14:10.320 We went to a bar and saw it. Leon is 0:14:10.360 --> 0:14:13.640 a lifelong Knicks fan. He was standing on the bar, 0:14:13.800 --> 0:14:16.959 Leon with his shirt off, just with his singler, just 0:14:17.040 --> 0:14:20.800 waving it around. Mate. People loved Leon over there. It's 0:14:20.920 --> 0:14:23.440 just a big, tall guy. It's a nice guy. People 0:14:23.480 --> 0:14:26.000 would drop mat He was fighting people off with a stick. 0:14:26.960 --> 0:14:27.840 The female variety. 0:14:28.120 --> 0:14:30.760 Really, Leon's wife is not going to be happy about that. 0:14:30.800 --> 0:14:35.720 Well, and was he loyal one dog, one barn for Leon? 0:14:36.000 --> 0:14:36.360 He was. 0:14:36.600 --> 0:14:36.920 That's so. 0:14:37.120 --> 0:14:40.840 That's so. It is weird though, like American apart from 0:14:40.920 --> 0:14:43.120 him being Aussie as well to love the accent. They 0:14:43.160 --> 0:14:45.600 love a tall man. I suppose it's because of basketball 0:14:45.640 --> 0:14:48.480 and their athletes over there are always so tall and lanky. Yeah, 0:14:48.560 --> 0:14:50.520 you know, he like we saw a tall, lanky athlete. 0:14:50.600 --> 0:14:51.920 We're like, look at you, you're big. 0:14:52.160 --> 0:14:54.480 Because we related, We related to our sports and like 0:14:54.560 --> 0:14:57.320 being that tour wouldn't really work in Australian. 0:14:56.840 --> 0:15:00.880 Sports, hence why and nearly broke his neck hearing that time. 0:15:01.520 --> 0:15:03.760 But it was really good. Some of the other stuff 0:15:04.200 --> 0:15:07.840 like on that we did over there was Joey Apatow. 0:15:07.960 --> 0:15:08.720 He was over there. 0:15:08.960 --> 0:15:11.080 Of course you having dinner with them all, and they're 0:15:11.560 --> 0:15:15.200 they're chit chatting and hadn't fights, and you were very quiet. 0:15:15.480 --> 0:15:20.000 Sure, yeah, what was the go because we reposted that 0:15:20.080 --> 0:15:24.480 video on our backstage socials, but that when Terrence Crawford 0:15:24.480 --> 0:15:27.880 and they got the other kind event. There they're going 0:15:27.920 --> 0:15:29.400 at each other, calling each other out. And I was 0:15:29.400 --> 0:15:31.120 just watching it because it was on a big social 0:15:31.160 --> 0:15:33.720 media page of America Ringside magazine, and I was watching 0:15:33.760 --> 0:15:35.560 it before it even got sent to me. And then 0:15:35.600 --> 0:15:37.840 it just flashes over and you're sitting at your there 0:15:38.400 --> 0:15:38.680 like this. 0:15:39.160 --> 0:15:41.560 You had your homo simce the moment you looked so 0:15:41.640 --> 0:15:42.280 out of plants. 0:15:43.240 --> 0:15:44.960 You're just waiting to jump in and go. Hang on, guys, 0:15:45.000 --> 0:15:48.000 did you see iazy Kata was ball playing last night 0:15:48.040 --> 0:15:51.960 against the Redcliffe Dolphins? But you actually like Tommy Starling 0:15:52.040 --> 0:15:53.600 sent it to me in the end, and Tommy Starling's 0:15:53.640 --> 0:15:56.200 massive You're c fan loves it and he sent me 0:15:56.240 --> 0:15:58.720 this photo a company. He said, this is the most 0:15:58.760 --> 0:16:01.360 accurate depiction of how your dad looks right now. And 0:16:01.400 --> 0:16:03.600 it was all these US marines about to like in 0:16:03.680 --> 0:16:05.480 Iraq about to kick in the door and there was 0:16:05.480 --> 0:16:06.480 a clown next to him. 0:16:13.400 --> 0:16:16.240 That's what it was with Joyce, the Central Coast boy. 0:16:16.440 --> 0:16:19.440 He lives on the Gold Coast. He's the best, like 0:16:19.840 --> 0:16:23.280 his incredible fighter. It was Cruizwey champion in the world 0:16:23.360 --> 0:16:26.680 till he signed with Dana White's new new boxing troupe 0:16:26.760 --> 0:16:29.840 and they stripped him the titles. But he's going to 0:16:29.920 --> 0:16:33.960 be because different different. But we went out and had 0:16:33.960 --> 0:16:36.160 a drink and as we're walking back to the hotel, 0:16:36.200 --> 0:16:39.240 he said a couple of fighters but me and said, 0:16:39.520 --> 0:16:41.440 you know, come to this bar. Do you want to come? 0:16:41.480 --> 0:16:43.160 And I went okay. You know when I walked in 0:16:43.280 --> 0:16:44.160 went holy. 0:16:43.960 --> 0:16:46.560 Fuck, it's Terrace crawl for you didn't even know agin. 0:16:46.520 --> 0:16:47.920 I didn't know. I didn't know. I was having tennis 0:16:48.200 --> 0:16:51.280 And he mentioned kind of band, kind of band. He 0:16:51.320 --> 0:16:54.000 actually lived in Australia for about five years. His dad's 0:16:54.120 --> 0:16:55.960 Nigel Band, who was one of the greatest fighters of 0:16:55.960 --> 0:16:56.240 all time. 0:16:56.280 --> 0:16:58.400 Oh yeah, yeah, I've heard the old man. 0:16:58.480 --> 0:17:02.600 Yeah, Nigel Man. He exit the Blacktown PC and Condor 0:17:02.640 --> 0:17:05.080 has gone back now he's a huge fighter now. But 0:17:05.119 --> 0:17:08.000 he and Terrace Crawford, how you saw they were just 0:17:08.040 --> 0:17:10.560 going into each other continually, and. 0:17:14.040 --> 0:17:16.080 It's hard to tell. It's hard to tell, but you 0:17:16.119 --> 0:17:18.760 would have known me sometimes, you know what I mean. 0:17:19.240 --> 0:17:21.320 But was it like I kept referring that that one 0:17:21.520 --> 0:17:23.040 kind of Ben go oh, mate, you have a go 0:17:23.160 --> 0:17:25.280 at him. Then Crawford to go back at him, and 0:17:25.320 --> 0:17:27.920 they both go to Gie and Giant. Then you said 0:17:27.920 --> 0:17:30.320 that video and Giye's laughing because he's given it to 0:17:30.359 --> 0:17:33.439 both of them. But there was some I will say this, 0:17:33.640 --> 0:17:37.120 there was a moment that was just intriguing. But fifteen twenty, 0:17:37.320 --> 0:17:39.920 they start talking about other fighters and they were talking 0:17:39.960 --> 0:17:43.240 about Gie was talking about how you beat Ryan Garcia. 0:17:43.320 --> 0:17:45.240 He was saying to Connor Band, you've got to do this, 0:17:45.320 --> 0:17:47.840 and you get a split second, mate. Gi is the 0:17:47.840 --> 0:17:52.199 most unlike His ability like explain the fight game and 0:17:52.200 --> 0:17:55.520 how he tracks, how he fights the parents is unbelievable, 0:17:55.520 --> 0:17:58.159 the science of it. But then Connor Ben says to 0:17:59.040 --> 0:18:01.880 Terence Crawford, who at the moment's probably pound for pound 0:18:01.960 --> 0:18:04.400 number one in the world. I mean, he's just beaten Canela. 0:18:04.640 --> 0:18:07.080 He goes, would you have beaten Mayweather? It is prime. 0:18:07.520 --> 0:18:09.640 This was a discuss and he just went He sat there. 0:18:09.560 --> 0:18:12.080
