1
00:00:00,350 --> 00:00:12,910
Speaker 1: This is Brownies Podcast! Yes, welcome to Brownie's Podcast.

2
00:00:12,930 --> 00:00:16,630
Speaker 2: Jonathan Brown, Campbell Brown, myself, Dean Thomas and Brownie, Jonathan

3
00:00:16,650 --> 00:00:19,630
Speaker 2: that is, hasn't been on the show for a while

4
00:00:19,670 --> 00:00:21,910
Speaker 2: now because he pissed off to Ireland.

5
00:00:21,970 --> 00:00:24,310
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was a successful trip for all of us.

6
00:00:24,370 --> 00:00:27,170
Speaker 1: Probably not him though. Well, we don't know any of

7
00:00:27,210 --> 00:00:28,630
Speaker 1: the details. Nothing. John.

8
00:00:28,970 --> 00:00:31,250
Speaker 3: I tell you what, I've spent far too much time

9
00:00:31,270 --> 00:00:34,910
Speaker 3: with those little leprechauns. I know we shouldn't start with

10
00:00:34,950 --> 00:00:39,030
Speaker 3: a curse. But those little leprechauns got the best of me.

11
00:00:39,150 --> 00:00:41,240
Speaker 3: It was a complete schmuzzle, crew.

12
00:00:41,380 --> 00:00:41,860
Speaker 1: What do you mean?

13
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 3: We were very excited about it. But it was great

14
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:46,740
Speaker 3: to see. What a place. Dublin, dog. You've been to Dublin,

15
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:47,060
Speaker 3: haven't you?

16
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:49,620
Speaker 1: Only for a couple of days. Played at Croke Park

17
00:00:49,820 --> 00:00:50,180
Speaker 1: and then.

18
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:52,220
Speaker 3: You were probably there longer than I was there, though, dog.

19
00:00:52,460 --> 00:00:54,970
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was. I was. Talk us through it because

20
00:00:55,010 --> 00:00:57,910
Speaker 1: we got your voicemails about the chinking of the cutlery

21
00:00:58,050 --> 00:01:00,610
Speaker 1: on Friday. On the first class. That looked nice. The

22
00:01:00,630 --> 00:01:03,370
Speaker 1: pyjamas up the front. We were really excited for... what

23
00:01:03,390 --> 00:01:05,130
Speaker 1: the week was going to hold for you. But how

24
00:01:05,150 --> 00:01:08,380
Speaker 1: did it become a 50-hour transit? Like, I'm confused.

25
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 3: I left home Thursday afternoon, and I whipped down to

26
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:15,700
Speaker 3: Sydney because I was going with Joey Bromham, one of

27
00:01:15,780 --> 00:01:19,340
Speaker 3: our producers. So I met Joey at Sydney Airport, and

28
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 3: that was at about probably 5 p.m. Our flights... At eight.

29
00:01:24,459 --> 00:01:27,530
Speaker 3: So give myself plenty of time. I don't want to

30
00:01:27,610 --> 00:01:30,730
Speaker 3: overdo the details here, boys, but it's fair to say

31
00:01:30,750 --> 00:01:32,510
Speaker 3: you start getting a little bit concerned when there's a

32
00:01:32,510 --> 00:01:36,300
Speaker 3: heap of those blokes with yellow high-vis jackets crawling all

33
00:01:36,420 --> 00:01:38,680
Speaker 3: over the big A380 that's sitting right in front of

34
00:01:38,700 --> 00:01:39,260
Speaker 3: your window.

35
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 2: Absolutely.

36
00:01:39,540 --> 00:01:40,100
Speaker 1: You're in the lounge.

37
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 3: Mate, I'm on my third course, Dino. I'm on my Chardonnay.

38
00:01:44,110 --> 00:01:45,770
Speaker 1: I'm on the Reds. I'm on the Whites.

39
00:01:45,830 --> 00:01:47,950
Speaker 3: All this sort of stuff that I didn't even know existed.

40
00:01:48,490 --> 00:01:51,870
Speaker 3: And these little worker bees are all over this A380.

41
00:01:52,310 --> 00:01:55,310
Speaker 3: And then gradually the announcements start to come through, dog,

42
00:01:55,330 --> 00:01:58,210
Speaker 3: that we've been delayed by an hour. And then we've

43
00:01:58,250 --> 00:02:00,420
Speaker 3: been delayed by another hour. And I thought, well, hang

44
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,139
Speaker 3: on a minute. There's an 11 o'clock curfew at Sydney

45
00:02:03,220 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 3: Airport and we're still sitting there sipping a Chardonnay quarter

46
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 3: past 11 at night with no announcement.

47
00:02:08,340 --> 00:02:09,619
Speaker 1: How drunk are you at this point?

48
00:02:10,460 --> 00:02:12,239
Speaker 3: Oh, yeah. I'm starting to tip up.

49
00:02:12,260 --> 00:02:14,860
Speaker 1: So you spent Thursday night in Sydney?

50
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,139
Speaker 3: Spent Thursday night in Sydney because then they decided at

51
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 3: about 11.30, flight's been cancelled. The plane's broke down. So

52
00:02:22,139 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 3: go and line up and get a hotel room. Well,

53
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:26,690
Speaker 3: I've lined up with 400 other people because those A380s,

54
00:02:26,710 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 3: they're big bastards, Brownie. You've been on one of those

55
00:02:29,340 --> 00:02:29,990
Speaker 3: double deckers.

56
00:02:30,410 --> 00:02:33,210
Speaker 1: I have before, but not for a while. And, okay,

57
00:02:33,250 --> 00:02:35,710
Speaker 1: so all this is new information to me. I didn't

58
00:02:35,990 --> 00:02:37,910
Speaker 1: know that he had to catch another flight on the

59
00:02:37,950 --> 00:02:38,630
Speaker 1: Friday morning.

60
00:02:38,730 --> 00:02:40,450
Speaker 2: So you had You have to line up for a

61
00:02:40,450 --> 00:02:42,630
Speaker 2: hotel with 400 other angry people.

62
00:02:42,669 --> 00:02:45,010
Speaker 1: So did you get a shit hotel room.

63
00:02:44,930 --> 00:02:47,690
Speaker 3: Or did you get a– Well, I'm thinking when you're

64
00:02:47,730 --> 00:02:50,630
Speaker 3: in first class. And like I've said, I don't normally

65
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 3: roll that way.

66
00:02:51,220 --> 00:02:53,079
Speaker 1: Not reciprocal rights that I think to the hotel.

67
00:02:53,139 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 3: Yeah. Exactly right. All of a sudden, the hall is

68
00:02:59,180 --> 00:03:02,540
Speaker 3: absolute chaos. It's bedlam at 11.30. People are trying to

69
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 3: scramble for hotel rooms, dog. Hey, there's no priority line-up, dog.

70
00:03:06,460 --> 00:03:08,399
Speaker 3: It's just every man for himself.

71
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 1: And should I say, JB, I am a guy that

72
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:16,140
Speaker 1: takes absolute great delight in other people's misfortunes. So hearing this,

73
00:03:16,340 --> 00:03:17,860
Speaker 1: and we're just at the start of this story, is

74
00:03:17,900 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 1: giving me great joy. He's got a full bus fat.

75
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:21,580
Speaker 1: Full bus fat.

76
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,540
Speaker 3: Well, that's that. There's no bus fat for me. Anyway,

77
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,030
Speaker 3: by the time we got in, we would have been

78
00:03:28,050 --> 00:03:29,910
Speaker 3: in that lineup for an hour, dog, I reckon. And

79
00:03:29,950 --> 00:03:32,410
Speaker 3: then we got the hotel room, which was just around

80
00:03:32,430 --> 00:03:35,310
Speaker 3: the corner. She gave me enough cab charges to last

81
00:03:35,350 --> 00:03:38,190
Speaker 3: me the whole year. And then they said, keep your

82
00:03:38,210 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 3: phone on. Because we're going to try and reschedule your

83
00:03:41,180 --> 00:03:43,380
Speaker 3: flights and we'll let you know throughout the night. So

84
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,860
Speaker 3: obviously throughout the night, it's not a great night's sleep

85
00:03:46,900 --> 00:03:50,300
Speaker 3: because I'm lying beside the phone just waiting for a

86
00:03:50,340 --> 00:03:53,460
Speaker 3: text message or just something. And then we get this

87
00:03:53,500 --> 00:03:57,390
Speaker 3: text message through to say, yeah, the plane will be

88
00:03:57,470 --> 00:04:00,950
Speaker 3: fixed in two days' time. Jesus. And we're going, well, shit,

89
00:04:01,010 --> 00:04:02,750
Speaker 3: that's not good enough because that means we're going to

90
00:04:02,770 --> 00:04:03,530
Speaker 3: miss the interview.

91
00:04:03,610 --> 00:04:03,770
Speaker 4: Yeah.

92
00:04:04,570 --> 00:04:07,490
Speaker 3: So we would have been leaving on Saturday and the

93
00:04:07,550 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 3: interview had been brought forward to Sunday. So that doesn't

94
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,100
Speaker 3: add up. So then all of a sudden we're in

95
00:04:12,140 --> 00:04:15,340
Speaker 3: a mad scramble from about four o'clock in the morning

96
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,510
Speaker 3: calling the travel agents to try and reorganise flights to

97
00:04:18,550 --> 00:04:19,350
Speaker 3: get us to Dublin.

98
00:04:19,529 --> 00:04:19,830
Speaker 1: Right.

99
00:04:21,430 --> 00:04:25,130
Speaker 3: So things didn't go real well. So eventually we got out,

100
00:04:25,410 --> 00:04:28,170
Speaker 3: probably just before your podcast got rolling, about 9 o'clock

101
00:04:28,210 --> 00:04:31,090
Speaker 3: in the morning. I've had to go via Singapore. I

102
00:04:31,130 --> 00:04:33,060
Speaker 3: think one of the other boys have had to go

103
00:04:33,100 --> 00:04:34,160
Speaker 3: via Kuala Lumpur.

104
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 1: You went to Singapore.

105
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,599
Speaker 3: You stopped at Singer's. Mate, I stopped at Singer. So

106
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,380
Speaker 3: as you can imagine, I've got loaded right up on

107
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 3: the plane, Dino. So I've rolled into Singapore Airport and

108
00:04:44,980 --> 00:04:47,660
Speaker 3: there's a shitload of people around and it's bloody confusing,

109
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,219
Speaker 3: especially when you've had a couple under your belt, Dino,

110
00:04:50,260 --> 00:04:53,650
Speaker 3: stumbling around Singapore Airport thinking, how do I get on

111
00:04:53,670 --> 00:04:57,490
Speaker 3: the next flight? So we hung around Singapore Airport for

112
00:04:57,510 --> 00:04:59,470
Speaker 3: a while. I was told that, no, no, you're not

113
00:04:59,510 --> 00:05:02,490
Speaker 3: going to Dublin now. Now you're flying to Heathrow Airport

114
00:05:03,050 --> 00:05:03,570
Speaker 3: in London.

115
00:05:03,710 --> 00:05:10,020
Speaker 1: Jesus Christ. I would have been absolutely ripable by now.

116
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,260
Speaker 1: Do you know what? I might have turned around and

117
00:05:12,300 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 1: not gone over there. I would have said, f * * k.

118
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 1: Which leg were you first class, John?

119
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:21,730
Speaker 3: Well, I ended up first class from Singapore to Heathrow.

120
00:05:22,310 --> 00:05:25,750
Speaker 3: on a British Airways first class. Now, mind you, Dino,

121
00:05:26,150 --> 00:05:31,229
Speaker 3: probably comparable to Jetstar business class when you fly overseas. Shit!

122
00:05:32,650 --> 00:05:33,870
Speaker 1: Nothing is what it seems.

123
00:05:34,830 --> 00:05:37,820
Speaker 3: But at this stage, Brown Dog, it's fair to say, hey,

124
00:05:38,110 --> 00:05:40,060
Speaker 3: I'm on my way to collecting. I was about to

125
00:05:40,140 --> 00:05:42,840
Speaker 3: open my own Peter Alexander chain because I've collected that

126
00:05:42,860 --> 00:05:45,659
Speaker 3: many pyjamas by the time I got to Heathrow. LAUGHTER

127
00:05:47,350 --> 00:05:51,250
Speaker 3: Mind you, though, British Airways, the pyjamas, I'll rate them.

128
00:05:51,790 --> 00:05:53,950
Speaker 3: I'll rate them highly. Out of all the pyjamas I

129
00:05:53,970 --> 00:05:57,340
Speaker 3: received on the trip, the British Airways pyjamas.

130
00:05:57,860 --> 00:05:59,700
Speaker 2: What's the thread count on them bad boys?

131
00:06:00,820 --> 00:06:02,979
Speaker 3: Well, it was sort of like a... They're like this

132
00:06:03,140 --> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 3: silky sort of number. They're not like that cottony shit.

133
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:09,350
Speaker 3: And I'm almost platinum now, Dino, because of all the

134
00:06:09,390 --> 00:06:13,870
Speaker 3: points I keep on this trip. But I really rate them.

135
00:06:13,970 --> 00:06:16,969
Speaker 3: I honestly really did rate them. Like, you could honestly

136
00:06:16,990 --> 00:06:21,859
Speaker 3: go into any Peter Alexander store and buy pyjamas of

137
00:06:21,950 --> 00:06:24,700
Speaker 3: similar quality, and your mother would be very happy with it.

138
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 1: Can you imagine John in pyjamas?

139
00:06:26,220 --> 00:06:29,159
Speaker 5: He's a very big man. It just doesn't look right. Like,

140
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 5: did he come up to about just below your knee?

141
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:30,940
Speaker 3: Yeah.

142
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 1: Yeah. Do you have a photo, man?

143
00:06:33,500 --> 00:06:36,890
Speaker 3: Yeah. And by this stage– no, I've got the pyjamas, though.

144
00:06:36,950 --> 00:06:37,750
Speaker 3: I can bring them down.

145
00:06:37,770 --> 00:06:40,770
Speaker 1: Do you guys find when you're on planes, especially long-haul planes,

146
00:06:40,790 --> 00:06:46,090
Speaker 1: you have– a greater probability of getting an erection than on, like, than...

147
00:06:46,050 --> 00:06:47,550
Speaker 1: It does happen. It does happen.

148
00:06:47,650 --> 00:06:48,790
Speaker 3: It's the altitude.

149
00:06:49,070 --> 00:06:49,310
Speaker 4: Really?

150
00:06:49,330 --> 00:06:50,650
Speaker 3: You're saying it's a plain fact.

151
00:06:51,050 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 1: Well, yeah. Whoa, welcome, plain fact, to the podcast. Are

152
00:06:54,540 --> 00:06:56,380
Speaker 1: you not, are you cross-state, Dino?

153
00:06:56,420 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 3: No, man.

154
00:06:56,779 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 1: You're flaccid. So JB in his pyjamas, right, just got

155
00:07:01,540 --> 00:07:06,540
Speaker 1: me thinking about that. It does. It's actually. Well said, John.

156
00:07:06,580 --> 00:07:09,820
Speaker 1: This is how cooked my memory is, all right? I

157
00:07:09,870 --> 00:07:12,770
Speaker 1: can't remember some teammates. I'm going to say the Qantas

158
00:07:12,910 --> 00:07:16,310
Speaker 1: air hostess off the top of my head was Sally Robinson.

159
00:07:16,870 --> 00:07:17,950
Speaker 3: No, Lisa.

160
00:07:18,030 --> 00:07:19,850
Speaker 1: Lisa Robertson. What about her?

161
00:07:20,050 --> 00:07:22,010
Speaker 3: Lisa Robertson. Robertson.

162
00:07:22,490 --> 00:07:24,230
Speaker 1: I thought being high in the air would go the

163
00:07:24,290 --> 00:07:25,630
Speaker 1: other way. No, it doesn't.

164
00:07:25,710 --> 00:07:27,250
Speaker 3: It doesn't. Interesting.

165
00:07:27,270 --> 00:07:30,810
Speaker 1: So, Jay, but you get to Heathrow, and surely it's Heathrow,

166
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:31,500
Speaker 1: Dublin now.

167
00:07:32,140 --> 00:07:35,330
Speaker 3: Yeah, Heathrow, Dublin. So, geez, it's a long walk at

168
00:07:35,370 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 3: Heathrow Airport, isn't it? Because you've got to go and

169
00:07:37,620 --> 00:07:41,180
Speaker 3: find the connections. Like, try and go through Passport and this...

170
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 3: young fellow who's behind the jump, he says, mate, you're

171
00:07:43,780 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 3: in the wrong area. So now I'm starting to get

172
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 3: confused because I've sobered up at this stage, dog. I've

173
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:53,190
Speaker 3: had a good sleep. Oh, no. And then I finally

174
00:07:53,370 --> 00:07:56,410
Speaker 3: find my producer. It was like an episode of The

175
00:07:56,450 --> 00:08:01,230
Speaker 3: Amazing Race. Me and the producer left Sydney. We separated

176
00:08:01,310 --> 00:08:04,100
Speaker 3: and we found each other at the Heathrow Airport Lounge.

177
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,239
Speaker 3: where we jumped into a British breakfast and a couple

178
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 3: of sausages. They love their sausages over there for brekkie,

179
00:08:09,980 --> 00:08:13,060
Speaker 3: don't they? Yes. And then finally we jumped on the

180
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 3: little flight over to Dublin.

181
00:08:14,540 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 1: So you were meant to arrive in Dublin, what, on

182
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,290
Speaker 1: Saturday morning and you ended up getting there Saturday night.

183
00:08:20,350 --> 00:08:20,790
Speaker 1: Is that right?

184
00:08:21,390 --> 00:08:22,250
Speaker 3: Yes. Okay.

185
00:08:22,270 --> 00:08:23,010
Speaker 1: So you lose your life.

186
00:08:23,050 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, no, no. Friday. No, no, we

187
00:08:26,700 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 3: were supposed to arrive Friday lunchtime.

188
00:08:29,500 --> 00:08:29,940
Speaker 1: Oh, shit.

189
00:08:30,540 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 3: And we arrived Saturday afternoon.

190
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:36,189
Speaker 1: So you lost a day and a half. Let's say

191
00:08:36,210 --> 00:08:38,950
Speaker 1: you lost 30-odd hours on the ground at Dublin.

192
00:08:39,450 --> 00:08:42,510
Speaker 3: Well, I think you're supposed to fly through Dubai. So

193
00:08:42,530 --> 00:08:45,130
Speaker 3: the big Emirates Airbus was going to go through Dubai,

194
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,020
Speaker 3: stay there for an hour, and then you're in Dublin.

195
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 3: So that was only going to be 24 hours total.

196
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 3: It ended up being in total from the time I

197
00:08:52,540 --> 00:08:55,140
Speaker 3: left my joint– To get to Sydney, now this is

198
00:08:55,179 --> 00:08:57,020
Speaker 3: not the airline's fault, it was 52 hours.

199
00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:57,940
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay.

200
00:08:58,000 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 3: To Dublin Airport.

201
00:08:58,870 --> 00:09:01,370
Speaker 1: And this is just the start of the debacle, right?

202
00:09:01,530 --> 00:09:03,290
Speaker 3: Not one plane fat.

203
00:09:03,809 --> 00:09:06,750
Speaker 1: No, not a single one. Yeah, that's the disappointment. Not

204
00:09:06,850 --> 00:09:09,030
Speaker 1: a single plane fat. Especially in the pyjamas and nice

205
00:09:09,070 --> 00:09:12,010
Speaker 1: and comfortable. And so what do you do when you

206
00:09:12,050 --> 00:09:15,310
Speaker 1: get to Dublin? Obviously you're tired, but I'd assume you

207
00:09:15,429 --> 00:09:16,910
Speaker 1: had a few things that you wanted to do before

208
00:09:16,929 --> 00:09:19,380
Speaker 1: the Connor interview. We went and saw, let's go and

209
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 1: get some filming because we're staying on the River Liffey.

210
00:09:21,940 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 3: Just across from Temple Bar. So for people that don't know,

211
00:09:24,620 --> 00:09:27,180
Speaker 3: and I didn't know at the time, Temple Bar is

212
00:09:27,260 --> 00:09:31,460
Speaker 3: actually a district. There is a Temple Bar in Temple Bar,

213
00:09:31,620 --> 00:09:33,300
Speaker 3: if you know what I mean. Okay. But this is

214
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:36,420
Speaker 3: like where all the tourists go and there's pubs. Every

215
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:39,250
Speaker 3: second building is a pub, if not every building. So

216
00:09:39,750 --> 00:09:42,030
Speaker 3: we go for a bit of a walk around because

217
00:09:42,050 --> 00:09:43,850
Speaker 3: you're trying to stay awake, aren't you, Brown Dog? So

218
00:09:43,890 --> 00:09:46,829
Speaker 3: we go and find a pub. and me and Joey

219
00:09:47,190 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 3: start assembling the interview, going, righto, this is how we're

220
00:09:50,010 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 3: going to play the interview. This is what we'll do.

221
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:54,199
Speaker 3: I'll pull out the mark of the year at this stage.

222
00:09:54,540 --> 00:09:57,550
Speaker 3: I'll pull out the footage of me whacking Josh Carr

223
00:09:57,570 --> 00:09:59,429
Speaker 3: at this stage and say, have you got any advice

224
00:09:59,450 --> 00:10:02,750
Speaker 3: for an ulcer? and all that sort of garbage? And

225
00:10:02,770 --> 00:10:05,730
Speaker 3: then I'm going to pull out the Brisbane Lions, Conor

226
00:10:05,750 --> 00:10:08,960
Speaker 3: McGregor jumper with McGregor on the back with number 12. Smart.

227
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:12,439
Speaker 3: So all these sort of little things just to sort

228
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 3: of juggle his balls, Brando, in case the interview's not

229
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 3: going any good. And you might.

230
00:10:17,580 --> 00:10:20,100
Speaker 1: I would have been unaware, JB, but his erratic behaviour

231
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:22,679
Speaker 1: leading up to this, we were starting to get a

232
00:10:22,740 --> 00:10:26,320
Speaker 1: sense here in Australia that he was going off the

233
00:10:26,380 --> 00:10:29,340
Speaker 1: railway tracks a little bit leading up to this. We

234
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:32,180
Speaker 1: got a bit of a sense of, well, I wonder

235
00:10:32,220 --> 00:10:34,320
Speaker 1: if JB's gone over there for no reason.

236
00:10:34,340 --> 00:10:34,620
Speaker 3: Yes.

237
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:36,420
Speaker 1: But at this stage, we were unaware.

238
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,890
Speaker 3: There was slight concern, Doug, when I saw that Instagram

239
00:10:39,929 --> 00:10:43,229
Speaker 3: post of his or someone else and of some of

240
00:10:43,250 --> 00:10:46,690
Speaker 3: the shenanigans at the party. And was slightly concerned, I

241
00:10:46,710 --> 00:10:50,150
Speaker 3: must admit, when I arrived in Dublin. And fair to say,

242
00:10:50,210 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 3: Conor McGregor's not the most popular leprechaun floating around.

243
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:57,059
Speaker 1: That surprised me. I honestly thought he had... He had

244
00:10:57,100 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 1: the support of his nation. They don't like him. Because

245
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:02,080
Speaker 1: he's very patriotic. He always comes out with an Irish flag.

246
00:11:02,140 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 1: He talks about how much he loves Ireland. He's got

247
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:06,320
Speaker 1: a supporter base there. But when JB said that he's

248
00:11:06,340 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 1: not popular, surprised me. Why don't they like him? Because

249
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:11,180
Speaker 1: he's like a loud mouth.

250
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 5: He's become a bit of a dicks. Early on, he

251
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,599
Speaker 5: was the face of Ireland. But since then, he's kind

252
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:17,380
Speaker 5: of terrorised.

253
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:18,179
Speaker 1: He's pretty arrogant.

254
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:18,719
Speaker 4: Okay, right.

255
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,620
Speaker 1: Obnoxious. And he's done some pretty bad stuff over there too. John,

256
00:11:21,740 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 1: when was the interview?

257
00:11:23,870 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 3: I feel as if they don't represent the Irish people,

258
00:11:26,070 --> 00:11:26,380
Speaker 3: do they not?

259
00:11:26,570 --> 00:11:29,370
Speaker 1: Right, when was the interview scheduled? For the Sunday or

260
00:11:29,390 --> 00:11:30,170
Speaker 1: the Monday?

261
00:11:30,190 --> 00:11:32,730
Speaker 3: So we actually came forward on Sunday. So imagine my

262
00:11:32,790 --> 00:11:34,710
Speaker 3: excitement though. So we go down to the pub, we

263
00:11:34,730 --> 00:11:37,210
Speaker 3: sit down Saturday afternoon, we're all over it. We've done

264
00:11:37,250 --> 00:11:39,900
Speaker 3: a shitload of research, as you can imagine, we're 52

265
00:11:39,900 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 3: hours up your sleeve. We're all over it. But also,

266
00:11:43,820 --> 00:11:46,900
Speaker 3: I didn't realise, I was also given the Michael Chandler

267
00:11:47,220 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 3: individual interview, which... Yeah, probably in Australia, unless you're a

268
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:52,960
Speaker 3: big fight fan, you would have been interested in. But

269
00:11:52,980 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 3: I thought that's pretty cool. His opponent seems like a

270
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,830
Speaker 3: nice lad. But also, dog, Dana White.

271
00:11:58,179 --> 00:11:58,550
Speaker 1: Shit!

272
00:11:58,790 --> 00:12:00,870
Speaker 3: Oh, wow. Dana White. You're going to spend some time

273
00:12:00,990 --> 00:12:01,490
Speaker 3: with Dana.

274
00:12:01,690 --> 00:12:02,510
Speaker 1: The big dog.

275
00:12:03,030 --> 00:12:06,510
Speaker 3: So McGregor's scheduled for Sunday and Chandler and Dana White

276
00:12:06,809 --> 00:12:08,990
Speaker 3: for the Monday and then the big press conference on

277
00:12:09,030 --> 00:12:12,930
Speaker 3: Monday night where 14,000 Irish were going to. So, yes,

278
00:12:12,970 --> 00:12:15,350
Speaker 3: he might be popular, but obviously people wanted to turn

279
00:12:15,410 --> 00:12:17,109
Speaker 3: up and see what was going to happen at the

280
00:12:17,150 --> 00:12:20,740
Speaker 3: press conference. So, anyway, there you go. Saturday night. Sunday's

281
00:12:20,780 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 3: the big day.

282
00:12:21,580 --> 00:12:21,780
Speaker 4: Right.

283
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:25,420
Speaker 3: We get an early email through. Interview's been rescheduled.

284
00:12:25,500 --> 00:12:25,860
Speaker 1: What?

285
00:12:26,020 --> 00:12:30,050
Speaker 3: From 2.30 in the afternoon. To 5.30 in the afternoon.

286
00:12:30,309 --> 00:12:33,110
Speaker 3: But that gave me hope because I thought the fact

287
00:12:33,150 --> 00:12:36,050
Speaker 3: that they're actually rescheduling is a good sign, isn't it?

288
00:12:36,050 --> 00:12:39,460
Speaker 1: Isn't that a good sign? Well, not cancelling, but just rescheduling. So, yeah,

289
00:12:39,500 --> 00:12:41,380
Speaker 1: you can hold on to a little bit of hope,

290
00:12:41,500 --> 00:12:41,860
Speaker 1: I reckon.

291
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:45,740
Speaker 3: Okay. A little bit of hope. And, you know, I've

292
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:47,449
Speaker 3: stood in front of the mirror and I've practised for

293
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:49,850
Speaker 3: hours and hours and all that sort of stuff. Connor,

294
00:12:49,870 --> 00:12:52,449
Speaker 3: what do you reckon about Michael Chandler? What round do

295
00:12:52,470 --> 00:12:53,810
Speaker 3: you think you're going to knock him out in? And

296
00:12:53,850 --> 00:12:55,469
Speaker 3: what do you think about this left hook in the

297
00:12:55,470 --> 00:12:58,690
Speaker 3: 2004 grand final? And all that sort of garbage, Dino.

298
00:12:59,370 --> 00:13:01,830
Speaker 3: And then, so we thought, what do you do? You've

299
00:13:01,850 --> 00:13:04,349
Speaker 3: got to go and see Croke Park. Croke Park, where

300
00:13:04,390 --> 00:13:06,230
Speaker 3: Brown Dog did some of his best work when he

301
00:13:06,270 --> 00:13:08,110
Speaker 3: represented Australia against... I.

302
00:13:08,070 --> 00:13:11,059
Speaker 1: Got kicked by a guy called Graham Geraghty as I

303
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:12,820
Speaker 1: bent down to pick up the ball in my only

304
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:14,839
Speaker 1: possession in the first two minutes, and he broke my...

305
00:13:15,420 --> 00:13:19,930
Speaker 1: Did he? Yeah, mate. Hobbled up Crow Park for another

306
00:13:19,970 --> 00:13:22,910
Speaker 1: five minutes. Pulled myself off. And then I said to Sheeds,

307
00:13:22,970 --> 00:13:24,490
Speaker 1: I'm done for the day, mate. I can't move. I

308
00:13:24,530 --> 00:13:26,380
Speaker 1: think I've got a really bad corky. It turned out

309
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:29,700
Speaker 1: to be a fracture. Yeah, it smashed me. Smashed me.

310
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:33,569
Speaker 1: The Irish went down the race. At quarter time and

311
00:13:33,610 --> 00:13:36,250
Speaker 1: refused to come out because we were too violent.

312
00:13:36,530 --> 00:13:39,830
Speaker 3: Did you remember that, Dino? Yeah, man, I remember all this.

313
00:13:39,870 --> 00:13:42,270
Speaker 3: They went down the race. There was 80,000 there at

314
00:13:42,330 --> 00:13:42,850
Speaker 3: Croke Park.

315
00:13:42,890 --> 00:13:46,350
Speaker 1: They were burning effigies of me on the streets. Barry Hall,

316
00:13:46,510 --> 00:13:51,459
Speaker 1: opening bounce, went flying in double knee into his premiership teammate,

317
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:56,179
Speaker 1: Ty Cannelli, like rattled him. They weren't coming out and

318
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 1: playing and... the Australians had to talk to the president

319
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:03,680
Speaker 1: of Ireland GAA, Nicky Brennan, and they convinced him to

320
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:06,059
Speaker 1: come out and they called the series off. Doug, how

321
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 1: long after the game finished did you have to get

322
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:10,300
Speaker 1: out of the country? The next day. We went out

323
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:12,929
Speaker 1: that night, had drinks. The Irish were ropeable. We flew

324
00:14:12,950 --> 00:14:15,270
Speaker 1: out the next day. They cancelled the series. There was

325
00:14:15,309 --> 00:14:15,910
Speaker 1: no series in 07.

326
00:14:15,910 --> 00:14:16,910
Speaker 3: Yeah, right.

327
00:14:17,230 --> 00:14:19,610
Speaker 1: Because they were so upset. Was the one you were

328
00:14:19,630 --> 00:14:21,790
Speaker 1: referring to where Fev got done?

329
00:14:21,930 --> 00:14:22,940
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was.

330
00:14:22,890 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 1: Rooming with Fev at the time. Campbell and Fev were rooming.

331
00:14:26,540 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 1: He got sent home for putting that bartender in a

332
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 1: headlock in Galway. Jesus Christ. Yeah, I've got fond memories

333
00:14:31,900 --> 00:14:33,940
Speaker 1: of Ireland, but I can't go back.

334
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 3: The hurling's unbelievable. Have you seen the hurling, Brown Dog?

335
00:14:38,860 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 4: It is unbelievable.

336
00:14:39,420 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 1: I've never seen it live. I've obviously seen them play,

337
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:42,780
Speaker 1: but not live.

338
00:14:43,500 --> 00:14:45,740
Speaker 3: It's like Gaelic football, except they're running around with these

339
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 3: big sticks.

340
00:14:46,620 --> 00:14:46,740
Speaker 4: Yes.

341
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 3: They just whack each other. And they have shots from

342
00:14:49,100 --> 00:14:53,850
Speaker 3: like 65 out. That was unbelievable. But we had a

343
00:14:53,900 --> 00:14:57,270
Speaker 3: quiet Guinness, but then trouble. Trouble on the way from

344
00:14:57,310 --> 00:15:00,130
Speaker 3: we thought, right, what we'll do, we'll go from Croke Park.

345
00:15:00,730 --> 00:15:03,130
Speaker 3: to Connor's pub, the Black Forge. We want to start

346
00:15:03,150 --> 00:15:05,110
Speaker 3: getting some filming, some colour, because it was going to

347
00:15:05,150 --> 00:15:07,240
Speaker 3: be a half an hour episode back in Australia. Yep.

348
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 3: We've got to go and ask the co-owner of the

349
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 3: Black Forge so we can do some filming. On the

350
00:15:12,420 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 3: way to the Black Forge, we get an email to say,

351
00:15:16,500 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 3: interview cancelled.

352
00:15:18,380 --> 00:15:22,070
Speaker 1: Shit! So what did you immediately feel at that point?

353
00:15:22,090 --> 00:15:23,650
Speaker 1: Were you like, oh, my God, this is.

354
00:15:23,970 --> 00:15:26,370
Speaker 3: I'm going to burn the Black Forge down. That's what

355
00:15:26,430 --> 00:15:31,460
Speaker 3: I thought. Oh, John. So I thought that internally. I

356
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 3: didn't say that externally. But Dino, we went around to

357
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 3: the Black Forge. We turned up to the pub. We thought, well,

358
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 3: you know what? Let's just go directly to the man.

359
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:42,900
Speaker 3: We're going to go to his boxing gym down the

360
00:15:42,940 --> 00:15:45,020
Speaker 3: road to do the interview. Let's go to the pub

361
00:15:45,060 --> 00:15:48,050
Speaker 3: to see if he's there. And then we got to

362
00:15:48,070 --> 00:15:51,510
Speaker 3: the pub. and asked the bar girl, is Conor here?

363
00:15:51,530 --> 00:15:53,770
Speaker 3: And she said, no, but if you hang around long enough,

364
00:15:54,170 --> 00:15:56,250
Speaker 3: you'll probably see him. I said, why is that? She said,

365
00:15:56,270 --> 00:15:59,350
Speaker 3: he's been in here all day, every day, all week.

366
00:15:59,390 --> 00:16:02,860
Speaker 1: Probably not great preparation. Did he win the fight? Did

367
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 1: the fight happen? It hasn't happened. It got called off. No,

368
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:07,740
Speaker 1: they still think that it might actually go ahead.

369
00:16:08,430 --> 00:16:10,620
Speaker 3: Really? Are you sure? Yep.

370
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:13,780
Speaker 5: The speculation is that this is all a big media

371
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:16,420
Speaker 5: ploy to build anticipation around the fight and that he's

372
00:16:16,460 --> 00:16:17,380
Speaker 5: actually been in training.

373
00:16:17,540 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 1: Or he's just a drunk. All the UFC nuffies are

374
00:16:20,260 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 1: going ballistic. He's trying to do what that Garcia did

375
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:25,300
Speaker 1: in the boxing. Exactly that. Trying to lure Chandler into

376
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:26,820
Speaker 1: a false sense of hope and then he's going to

377
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 1: come out. Well, it doesn't help our man JB that

378
00:16:29,100 --> 00:16:32,100
Speaker 1: flew to Ireland for four bars. That seems elaborate, Rhodes.

379
00:16:32,140 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 1: That seems over-elaborate.

380
00:16:33,060 --> 00:16:34,739
Speaker 5: That's what a very successful boxer just did him on

381
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 5: the fight, and it made him so much money.

382
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:38,830
Speaker 3: Okay. Who was that?

383
00:16:39,070 --> 00:16:40,090
Speaker 1: Garcia. Garcia.

384
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:43,550
Speaker 3: Anyway, so they brought his belt out, and they gave

385
00:16:43,610 --> 00:16:45,690
Speaker 3: me his belt, and I put his belt on, and

386
00:16:45,750 --> 00:16:47,710
Speaker 3: I poured one of his Irish stout, which is like

387
00:16:47,750 --> 00:16:48,650
Speaker 3: a Guinness ripoff.

388
00:16:48,690 --> 00:16:48,930
Speaker 1: Yeah.

389
00:16:49,410 --> 00:16:51,910
Speaker 3: It's not the whiskey. He's got his proper 12 whiskey,

390
00:16:51,950 --> 00:16:54,410
Speaker 3: but he also has got an Irish stout, so... I

391
00:16:54,430 --> 00:16:57,370
Speaker 3: stood behind the bar and did all that. And we

392
00:16:57,410 --> 00:16:59,930
Speaker 3: just hung around. We really hung around like bad smells

393
00:16:59,990 --> 00:17:03,010
Speaker 3: to interview Conor McGregor. We thought on the off chance

394
00:17:03,050 --> 00:17:05,070
Speaker 3: he turns up to the pub, which is a pretty

395
00:17:05,130 --> 00:17:07,859
Speaker 3: nice pub, mind you, that I thought, well, all of

396
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:10,200
Speaker 3: a sudden we can maybe just get an impromptu interview.

397
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:11,180
Speaker 1: Good work, mate.

398
00:17:11,820 --> 00:17:14,960
Speaker 3: Spoke to the bartender. We met his co-owner, Liam, who's

399
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,920
Speaker 3: a lovely fella. We did bounce it off him that

400
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:21,439
Speaker 3: apparently Conor's got a broken toe. And we saw his

401
00:17:21,500 --> 00:17:25,850
Speaker 3: pupils dilate and his pupils change, Dino. So if he

402
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:31,090
Speaker 3: was in a detective's investigative room, I would have gone guilty. Guilty.

403
00:17:31,109 --> 00:17:34,669
Speaker 3: Guilty as charged. So that raised some eyebrows when we

404
00:17:34,690 --> 00:17:36,649
Speaker 3: threw up that he may have a broken toe. So

405
00:17:36,670 --> 00:17:40,990
Speaker 3: there you go, boys. There's my theory. So John's noticed a.

406
00:17:40,869 --> 00:17:45,210
Speaker 1: Subtle pupil dilation. Yeah. That's genius. And so then Monday

407
00:17:45,250 --> 00:17:49,590
Speaker 1: rolls around and Dana White cancelled. They cancelled the press conference.

408
00:17:49,630 --> 00:17:53,070
Speaker 1: Chandler didn't even bother flying to Dublin for the presser.

409
00:17:53,130 --> 00:17:53,409
Speaker 3: No shit.

410
00:17:53,430 --> 00:17:57,360
Speaker 1: A lot of people very, very upset and that was

411
00:17:57,710 --> 00:18:00,060
Speaker 1: the end of the road. JB, you flew out Monday night,

412
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:00,400
Speaker 1: did you?

413
00:18:01,180 --> 00:18:03,180
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I was. Let's get out of town.

414
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:05,419
Speaker 1: What a waste of seven days to six days of

415
00:18:05,460 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 1: your life. Plus millions of dollars by thousands of people

416
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 1: were wasted. Well, yeah, that's what happens.

417
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:11,879
Speaker 3: Well, there would have been a lot of people who

418
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 3: would have travelled for that press conference. It was $ 14, 000.

419
00:18:14,700 --> 00:18:17,090
Speaker 3: Even though I wasn't a paid presser, you still had

420
00:18:17,109 --> 00:18:19,670
Speaker 3: to get tickets for it. So I drowned me sorrows.

421
00:18:19,910 --> 00:18:22,570
Speaker 3: I had a mate I went to school with. I

422
00:18:22,590 --> 00:18:25,730
Speaker 3: left the Black Forge. There was a bloke there, Kev.

423
00:18:25,830 --> 00:18:28,220
Speaker 3: I showed him me mark of the year because I

424
00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 3: wasn't going.

425
00:18:29,180 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 1: To miss it.

426
00:18:29,660 --> 00:18:30,460
Speaker 3: So I got through.

427
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:30,620
Speaker 1: Yeah.

428
00:18:31,460 --> 00:18:33,480
Speaker 3: Kev needs a new set of teeth. I wish I

429
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:35,379
Speaker 3: had a dentist with him. And he's a pain in

430
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:37,869
Speaker 3: the ass, Kev. But he did appreciate the mark of

431
00:18:37,910 --> 00:18:40,050
Speaker 3: the ear brand, dog. That's nice. So I was happy

432
00:18:40,090 --> 00:18:41,609
Speaker 3: with that. And then on the way home, we drowned

433
00:18:41,670 --> 00:18:45,370
Speaker 3: our sorrows with a mate of mine's local pub called

434
00:18:45,390 --> 00:18:48,679
Speaker 3: The Gravediggers. What a name of a pub. Beautiful. It's

435
00:18:48,780 --> 00:18:50,260
Speaker 3: on the edge of it. It's on the edge of

436
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:53,220
Speaker 3: a cemetery. I'm actually wearing the T-shirt as we speak.

437
00:18:53,820 --> 00:18:58,960
Speaker 3: That's pretty cool. So this is Sunday night, John, still.

438
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:01,929
Speaker 3: And how far into the night did you get on it?

439
00:19:02,150 --> 00:19:05,590
Speaker 3: And when did you have to come home? Well, we

440
00:19:05,609 --> 00:19:08,629
Speaker 3: were a bit disappointed because the sun's up till about

441
00:19:08,630 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 3: 10.30 over there. Oh, shit. We stayed up till about 10.30,

442
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:15,700
Speaker 3: 11 o'clock. And then the weather was beautiful. So that's

443
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:18,250
Speaker 3: what we call it at night, Dino. The Guinness is beautiful.

444
00:19:18,290 --> 00:19:20,590
Speaker 3: I know I'm a card and raft man, but the

445
00:19:20,630 --> 00:19:25,390
Speaker 3: Guinness doesn't taste like that in Australia. Apparently, the further

446
00:19:25,410 --> 00:19:28,250
Speaker 3: it travels from the brewery or where it's brewed, the

447
00:19:28,310 --> 00:19:32,490
Speaker 3: worse it gets or the lesser quality is. So obviously

448
00:19:32,550 --> 00:19:34,869
Speaker 3: it's getting brewed just down the road in Dublin. It's

449
00:19:34,910 --> 00:19:35,810
Speaker 3: beautiful and creamy.

450
00:19:36,410 --> 00:19:39,410
Speaker 1: I'm a bit sacrilege because I do something that normal

451
00:19:39,670 --> 00:19:43,150
Speaker 1: Guinness drinkers hate, but I add lemonade to it because

452
00:19:43,170 --> 00:19:45,659
Speaker 1: I've got a sweet tooth. So it just helps it

453
00:19:45,700 --> 00:19:47,660
Speaker 1: taste a little bit more like a vodka cruiser. Have

454
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:51,580
Speaker 1: you ever dropped a shot? of black Sambuca into it?

455
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 3: No, never.

456
00:19:52,540 --> 00:19:54,399
Speaker 1: That's good shit. I'm not a big Guinness guy, but

457
00:19:54,420 --> 00:19:56,860
Speaker 1: when I do, I pour some lemonade in. It's drinkable.

458
00:19:57,420 --> 00:19:59,980
Speaker 1: So the one question I've probably got for you, JB,

459
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:01,879
Speaker 1: if you had your time again, would you still travel

460
00:20:01,900 --> 00:20:04,440
Speaker 1: to Dublin?

461
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:11,150
Speaker 3: Well, the thing is, I collected... Like 500 frequent flyer points.

462
00:20:12,010 --> 00:20:16,270
Speaker 3: And the most important thing is the status credits. So

463
00:20:16,330 --> 00:20:18,210
Speaker 3: now I'm nearly platinum.

464
00:20:18,710 --> 00:20:18,910
Speaker 1: Yeah.

465
00:20:19,490 --> 00:20:21,790
Speaker 3: Which is a big thing, Dino. So I'm not sure

466
00:20:21,830 --> 00:20:23,390
Speaker 3: actually what it gets. It might give you an extra

467
00:20:23,410 --> 00:20:27,000
Speaker 3: set of pyjamas. But I collected some amazing sets of pyjamas,

468
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:29,620
Speaker 3: including the ones then on the way home as well.

469
00:20:30,060 --> 00:20:33,740
Speaker 3: Dubai Airport's unbelievable. Have you ever been through Dubai Airport, boys?

470
00:20:33,820 --> 00:20:41,550
Speaker 1: I've been to Dubai Airport. Yeah. You've never been to Dubai. Dubai.

471
00:20:42,130 --> 00:20:42,930
Speaker 6: J-O-O-B-Y-E.

472
00:20:42,950 --> 00:20:45,929
Speaker 1: Dubai. John, I want to focus on.

473
00:20:45,950 --> 00:20:48,170
Speaker 3: The- I did have a final Guinness day, Dino, before

474
00:20:48,210 --> 00:20:51,350
Speaker 3: we left, Monday morning. What do you do? Monday morning,

475
00:20:51,390 --> 00:20:54,010
Speaker 3: we walked into the pub, the actual original Temple Bar,

476
00:20:54,030 --> 00:20:57,010
Speaker 3: because it's public holiday over there, and the Irish band

477
00:20:57,050 --> 00:20:59,730
Speaker 3: was on, and there's all jigging going. Mate, the pub

478
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 3: was packed as if it was 10 o'clock at night.

479
00:21:02,820 --> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 3: Everyone's loaded up on the Guinness. So we had a

480
00:21:05,060 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 3: Guinness for breakfast and then went to the airport. So

481
00:21:07,580 --> 00:21:09,500
Speaker 3: I got a nice set of pyjamas on the way

482
00:21:09,540 --> 00:21:12,859
Speaker 3: home from Emirates. So if I was doing my pyjama ladder,

483
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:18,830
Speaker 3: I would say British Airways, a close second Emirates, a

484
00:21:18,869 --> 00:21:22,790
Speaker 3: long way third, the Qantas pyjamas. So if I've got

485
00:21:22,850 --> 00:21:26,050
Speaker 3: one bit of feedback for Qantas, I think they need

486
00:21:26,070 --> 00:21:27,850
Speaker 3: to lift their game when it comes to the PJs.

487
00:21:28,030 --> 00:21:30,119
Speaker 2: Well, John, you've been on an absolute adventure and you

488
00:21:30,140 --> 00:21:33,220
Speaker 2: just mentioned an Irish jig band, so I want to

489
00:21:33,260 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 2: focus on the positives here.

490
00:21:34,540 --> 00:21:39,639
Speaker 1: I have prepared a full Irish song, an ode to

491
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:42,770
Speaker 1: your adventure, Campbell. Yeah, and the other thing is, just

492
00:21:42,810 --> 00:21:46,149
Speaker 1: from a publicity point of view, JB, you could have

493
00:21:46,170 --> 00:21:47,989
Speaker 1: saved all that for the potty and not gone with

494
00:21:48,010 --> 00:21:50,790
Speaker 1: Scotty Gullen's article yesterday in the Herald Sun, you know,

495
00:21:50,810 --> 00:21:53,260
Speaker 1: because you spoilt the big moment for the listeners.

496
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:54,540
Speaker 3: Well, no-one reads it anyway, John.

497
00:21:57,580 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 1: Jonathan Brown, this is an ode to your Irish adventure.

498
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 1: Here it is. It's called Big John's in First Class.

499
00:22:04,700 --> 00:22:05,480
Speaker 3: Enjoy.

500
00:22:05,619 --> 00:22:08,460
Speaker 4: He walks to the plane, told his wife he must

501
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:13,160
Speaker 4: go for work. Business class awaits for Big John, yet

502
00:22:13,220 --> 00:22:18,130
Speaker 4: another perk. He's running late, he's just in time. With

503
00:22:18,150 --> 00:22:22,430
Speaker 4: business class, full first class and just fine. Big John's

504
00:22:22,590 --> 00:22:28,010
Speaker 4: in first class, baby. Big John's in a better class. Oh,

505
00:22:28,150 --> 00:22:29,870
Speaker 4: Big John's in first.

506
00:22:29,590 --> 00:22:36,890
Speaker 6: Class, baby. Don't like it? Then please dismiss us. Woo! Woo-hoo!

507
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:42,450
Speaker 3: Give me a Guinness.

508
00:22:42,660 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 1: First class feels normal for a man. The pilot wants

509
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:47,919
Speaker 1: a selfie cause he's a Naughty fan.

510
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:53,179
Speaker 6: Oh, Big John's in first class, baby. Big John's in

511
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:58,180
Speaker 6: a better class. Oh, Big John's in first class, baby.

512
00:22:58,300 --> 00:23:01,109
Speaker 6: Don't like it? Then please kiss his ass.

513
00:23:01,430 --> 00:23:05,109
Speaker 1: Oh, man is in first class with every right to brag.

514
00:23:05,210 --> 00:23:09,210
Speaker 4: But it didn't stop the airline from losing his fucking bags.

515
00:23:09,750 --> 00:23:11,210
Speaker 6: Oh, Big John's in.

516
00:23:11,130 --> 00:23:12,700
Speaker 1: First class, baby.

517
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:17,399
Speaker 6: Big John's in a better class. Oh, Big John's in

518
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:21,520
Speaker 6: first class, baby. Don't like it? Then please kiss his ass.

519
00:23:31,390 --> 00:23:32,230
Speaker 6: One more time now.

520
00:23:35,810 --> 00:23:40,390
Speaker 1: Oh, Big John's in first class, baby. Game work, Dino.

521
00:23:40,710 --> 00:23:41,580
Speaker 3: Here we go.

522
00:23:43,020 --> 00:23:46,020
Speaker 6: Oh, Big John's in first class, baby.

523
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:46,780
Speaker 1: Don't like it?

524
00:23:47,340 --> 00:23:48,840
Speaker 6: Then please kiss his ass.

525
00:23:48,859 --> 00:23:50,379
Speaker 3: Let's get back to.

526
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:52,700
Speaker 1: The grave diggers.

527
00:23:53,930 --> 00:23:58,550
Speaker 2: Welcome back to Brownies Podcast, at Brownies Podcast on all socials.

528
00:23:58,570 --> 00:24:00,620
Speaker 2: We're going to have a look at the games, but

529
00:24:00,650 --> 00:24:03,400
Speaker 2: also Brownies got some amazing audio we're going to get to.

530
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:06,659
Speaker 2: Let's talk about Richmond, though, and Adelaide.

531
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:09,359
Speaker 1: Look, their last three weeks, I was down at the

532
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:12,640
Speaker 1: Cattery last week. I watched the whole game last night.

533
00:24:13,060 --> 00:24:15,119
Speaker 1: Their last three weeks is to be commended because they

534
00:24:15,140 --> 00:24:18,199
Speaker 1: were copping hidings. Uzay was under the pump. We were

535
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 1: talking on this podcast about They're 11, 30-year-olds that they've

536
00:24:22,270 --> 00:24:24,869
Speaker 1: got and there's no talent coming through. And all of

537
00:24:24,900 --> 00:24:28,350
Speaker 1: a sudden, they're fighting for every contest. They're playing with

538
00:24:28,790 --> 00:24:32,409
Speaker 1: great discipline. They've got some young players like Mansell and

539
00:24:32,450 --> 00:24:36,590
Speaker 1: Seth Campbell and Tom Brown that look composed with the ball.

540
00:24:37,950 --> 00:24:40,620
Speaker 1: They were brilliant last night. Now, I don't know if...

541
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:45,080
Speaker 1: That's because the Crows are so bad, JB. But I

542
00:24:45,140 --> 00:24:48,340
Speaker 1: reckon the last couple of weeks, if you're a Richmond supporter,

543
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:54,240
Speaker 1: should give you great delight. They lost the big Ford, McKelty, LaFow,

544
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:55,699
Speaker 1: Dusty was rested.

545
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:56,640
Speaker 3: He's a good player.

546
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:59,120
Speaker 1: Dusty was rested and they still went over to Adelaide

547
00:24:59,580 --> 00:25:02,200
Speaker 1: and they were 36 and a half point underdogs, right?

548
00:25:02,540 --> 00:25:04,720
Speaker 1: And they get the job done. It was brilliant from Richmond.

549
00:25:04,740 --> 00:25:07,439
Speaker 3: And I think Prestia got injured. Why not injured on

550
00:25:07,460 --> 00:25:08,980
Speaker 3: the airport calf coming to the game?

551
00:25:09,010 --> 00:25:09,090
Speaker 5: Yeah.

552
00:25:10,369 --> 00:25:12,149
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was a mighty effort. It's always tough to

553
00:25:12,170 --> 00:25:14,290
Speaker 3: win over an Adelaide. Since they got thumped by Brisbane

554
00:25:14,310 --> 00:25:16,510
Speaker 3: a few weeks ago, I think it was, Doc, they've

555
00:25:16,530 --> 00:25:19,629
Speaker 3: shown tremendous fighting spirit. Uzay's starting to make his mark

556
00:25:19,690 --> 00:25:22,969
Speaker 3: on that team. He's a tremendous coach. I love the

557
00:25:23,010 --> 00:25:26,189
Speaker 3: footage of him, Doc, down on the bench during the

558
00:25:26,230 --> 00:25:29,510
Speaker 3: game coaching his young players. You know, that's the art

559
00:25:29,550 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 3: of coaching, isn't it? You know, he's not just a

560
00:25:32,100 --> 00:25:34,639
Speaker 3: cheerleader down there, but you can clearly tell he's giving

561
00:25:35,540 --> 00:25:38,859
Speaker 3: direction to the players, what to do in certain different scenarios.

562
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:41,379
Speaker 3: So well done to Adam Uzo, the Crows. Geez, a

563
00:25:41,380 --> 00:25:43,240
Speaker 3: lot of pressure would be jumping on them now, wouldn't it?

564
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:45,320
Speaker 3: Like Matty Nix can coach, I believe, but they haven't

565
00:25:45,340 --> 00:25:49,180
Speaker 3: played finals. for seven years, and they've regressed this year.

566
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:53,630
Speaker 3: I like the look of that Ruckman, Kieran Strawn, not

567
00:25:53,650 --> 00:25:58,010
Speaker 3: to be mistaken for Kieran Spawn, the former Essendon player.

568
00:25:58,030 --> 00:25:58,550
Speaker 3: Remember him?

569
00:25:58,730 --> 00:26:02,210
Speaker 1: Or Brian Strawn, yeah. Former Collingwood great Brian Strawn.

570
00:26:03,170 --> 00:26:06,850
Speaker 3: That's right. But, hey, a fair bit of pressure's coming on.

571
00:26:07,170 --> 00:26:10,360
Speaker 3: And it's fair to say Nixie's lucky. He probably just

572
00:26:10,380 --> 00:26:13,119
Speaker 3: got recontracted, dog, because I reckon he'd be in a

573
00:26:13,140 --> 00:26:16,660
Speaker 3: bit of strife. The Adelaide media... And the Adelaide public

574
00:26:16,700 --> 00:26:18,100
Speaker 3: could get a hold of him, I reckon, if he

575
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:19,760
Speaker 3: didn't have another year to run.

576
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:22,020
Speaker 1: On the back of last year's, I had them making

577
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:25,359
Speaker 1: the eight this year, progressing, and, yeah, they certainly haven't

578
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:28,520
Speaker 1: done that. They're a shell of the competitive side of

579
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:32,120
Speaker 1: last year. Rochelle is down on form. You know, Tex

580
00:26:32,180 --> 00:26:37,480
Speaker 1: obviously didn't play. Yeah, their back line is solid, but

581
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:40,440
Speaker 1: too few passengers through the midfield. Dawson is always great.

582
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:44,360
Speaker 1: And for the centre, they're not– They're not competitive enough,

583
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:46,119
Speaker 1: and Hawthorne exposed them, and so did Richmond.

584
00:26:46,140 --> 00:26:50,480
Speaker 3: John? And were you happy with Dusty waiting to play

585
00:26:50,510 --> 00:26:53,250
Speaker 3: his 300th at the MCG next week, Doug? Yeah.

586
00:26:53,510 --> 00:26:55,969
Speaker 1: Well, if he gets picked, he might have to come

587
00:26:55,990 --> 00:26:58,150
Speaker 1: through the VFL now after such a good win. I've

588
00:26:58,170 --> 00:27:00,790
Speaker 1: heard Adam Uzessa. No, look, I think it's just smart

589
00:27:00,830 --> 00:27:05,910
Speaker 1: because if you're clearly managing a senior player, but what's

590
00:27:05,950 --> 00:27:07,980
Speaker 1: the point in going to Adelaide in a game that

591
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:11,719
Speaker 1: everyone expected them to lose? Yeah. play your 300th for

592
00:27:11,740 --> 00:27:14,189
Speaker 1: a legend of the club over there, it'd lose its

593
00:27:14,230 --> 00:27:17,290
Speaker 1: grandeur a little bit. So I'm all for they're not

594
00:27:17,310 --> 00:27:19,090
Speaker 1: going to be competing for the top eight and things

595
00:27:19,109 --> 00:27:21,790
Speaker 1: like that. I'm all for get him to the MCG.

596
00:27:22,170 --> 00:27:27,850
Speaker 1: It's a home game for Richmond. Bigger crowd and give

597
00:27:27,890 --> 00:27:30,230
Speaker 1: him the respect of getting cheered off at the MCG,

598
00:27:30,250 --> 00:27:31,929
Speaker 1: which is where he's played most of his footy.

599
00:27:31,970 --> 00:27:33,520
Speaker 2: If he did go to Adelaide, he would have been

600
00:27:33,540 --> 00:27:35,639
Speaker 2: part of that memorable win. They might get flogged at

601
00:27:35,660 --> 00:27:35,830
Speaker 2: the G.

602
00:27:36,450 --> 00:27:38,719
Speaker 1: Well, they might, and that's the risk that you've got

603
00:27:38,740 --> 00:27:42,020
Speaker 1: to take. But, yeah, I think if you asked him

604
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:45,180
Speaker 1: and his family and his friends and Richmond supporters, they

605
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:48,859
Speaker 1: might get $ 70, 000 there to Hawthorne Richmond because it's Dusty's 300th.

606
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:50,300
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not going to be– Why don't.

607
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:54,220
Speaker 3: They turn up? Because Hawthorne's not exactly a great draw. Hey!

608
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 3: But it's a Richmond home game.

609
00:27:55,660 --> 00:27:56,240
Speaker 1: Five of six.

610
00:27:56,260 --> 00:27:58,120
Speaker 3: And Hawthorne are starting to play better footy.

611
00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:01,030
Speaker 1: They are. And, look, as– well, I'm a Hawthorne supporter,

612
00:28:01,050 --> 00:28:03,490
Speaker 1: but as a neutral– If I was in town, I'm

613
00:28:03,510 --> 00:28:05,530
Speaker 1: going to be in Brisbane next weekend for the race,

614
00:28:05,550 --> 00:28:08,690
Speaker 1: for Hodgie's 40th, actually. I would have gone and taken

615
00:28:08,730 --> 00:28:11,450
Speaker 1: my son to the MCG because it was Dusty's 300th.

616
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:16,060
Speaker 1: Solely because of that. Also, hey, hey, hey, Hawthorne. Hawthorne

617
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:18,480
Speaker 1: are above Brisbane, John. That's wild.

618
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 3: Yeah.

619
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:20,399
Speaker 1: That is wild shit.

620
00:28:20,420 --> 00:28:23,360
Speaker 3: Well, they smacked them last week, didn't they? Big game tonight, though,

621
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 3: with Brizzy. And the dogs. Brizzy, it's their last chance,

622
00:28:27,260 --> 00:28:29,240
Speaker 3: isn't it? They've come off the buy, so freshened up.

623
00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:32,300
Speaker 3: But dogs had a good win against the beat-up Collingwood

624
00:28:32,340 --> 00:28:35,280
Speaker 3: last week. Just on that too, on the buddy thing too,

625
00:28:35,300 --> 00:28:36,159
Speaker 3: he's selling his place.

626
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:41,050
Speaker 1: Did see that. How much? Yeah. They're talking $ 10 million.

627
00:28:41,570 --> 00:28:45,510
Speaker 1: How many bathrooms? I don't know, but it's a beautiful place.

628
00:28:45,690 --> 00:28:47,550
Speaker 5: Have you seen him around the Gold Coast, Brownie? You

629
00:28:47,570 --> 00:28:49,290
Speaker 5: obviously live in the Gold Coast. Surely you've seen him

630
00:28:49,330 --> 00:28:50,170
Speaker 5: down the beach.

631
00:28:50,210 --> 00:28:52,300
Speaker 3: Yes, I saw him in the markets a few weeks

632
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:55,920
Speaker 3: ago and with the fresh food markets. Yeah, I saw Buddy.

633
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:58,450
Speaker 3: He's a big man. He's an absolute monster, isn't he?

634
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:00,620
Speaker 3: But he brings the kids into the beach just down

635
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:04,280
Speaker 3: the road. And there's been all these rumours going around

636
00:29:04,300 --> 00:29:06,990
Speaker 3: that he's going to play for Palm Beach, which is

637
00:29:07,030 --> 00:29:09,690
Speaker 3: the local footy club up here, which is absolutely flowing,

638
00:29:09,710 --> 00:29:13,130
Speaker 3: mind you. Tom Hickey plays for them. He's a former teammate.

639
00:29:13,150 --> 00:29:16,510
Speaker 3: Dave Armitage is the coach. Aaron Hall plays for him.

640
00:29:16,530 --> 00:29:19,360
Speaker 3: And they're flying. So imagine if they rolled out Budwa.

641
00:29:19,740 --> 00:29:22,500
Speaker 3: I think they're seven and zip at the moment, sitting

642
00:29:22,580 --> 00:29:25,700
Speaker 3: atop of the QFL ladder. Imagine if you just rolled

643
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:27,900
Speaker 3: out Budwa for the last few weeks of the season,

644
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:31,210
Speaker 3: just qualifying for the finals, get him over the line.

645
00:29:31,210 --> 00:29:33,260
Speaker 3: How many would he kick? He'd be a chance to

646
00:29:33,260 --> 00:29:34,470
Speaker 3: kick two, don't you reckon? Yeah, he would.

647
00:29:34,750 --> 00:29:37,150
Speaker 1: Does Buddy know who you are, Brownie? Does he just

648
00:29:37,190 --> 00:29:38,940
Speaker 1: think you're a fan? Like, who's this guy? Who's he

649
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:43,560
Speaker 1: talking about? Are you talking about Jono? Yeah. No, Jonathan. Well, both, actually.

650
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:46,280
Speaker 3: Well, he got a selfie with me at the Fresh

651
00:29:46,500 --> 00:29:47,060
Speaker 3: Fruit Market.

652
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:52,180
Speaker 2: Hey, did you guys see Daisy Thomas playing in Division 12?

653
00:29:52,180 --> 00:29:54,270
Speaker 1: Fleet to foot. Mate, he was carving them up. He

654
00:29:54,310 --> 00:29:56,350
Speaker 1: got high. He got nice and high for that specky,

655
00:29:56,590 --> 00:29:59,530
Speaker 1: hit the ground running, and then delivered a 50-meter... Just

656
00:29:59,650 --> 00:30:02,130
Speaker 1: lace-out kick to the full forward. Wild. I spoke to

657
00:30:02,170 --> 00:30:04,070
Speaker 1: him the day after. You don't lose talent. You just

658
00:30:04,250 --> 00:30:05,050
Speaker 1: get bigger.

659
00:30:05,070 --> 00:30:05,270
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah.

660
00:30:05,310 --> 00:30:08,210
Speaker 2: He couldn't move the next day, dog. He could not move.

661
00:30:08,740 --> 00:30:10,420
Speaker 2: He was paralysed in pain.

662
00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:13,720
Speaker 3: Just telling you about suburban footy. Actually, when's the carndraft?

663
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:17,700
Speaker 3: The carndraft starts this week. The boys start playing this week.

664
00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:19,020
Speaker 3: You're the commissioner, man.

665
00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:20,620
Speaker 1: They're starting very soon.

666
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:22,340
Speaker 5: So Koch is, I think, first up and then a

667
00:30:22,380 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 5: couple of weeks and then all the other start boys

668
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:25,260
Speaker 5: are going to start rolling out.

669
00:30:25,580 --> 00:30:28,220
Speaker 3: And we're going to start interviewing those boys, aren't we, bro-dog?

670
00:30:28,260 --> 00:30:30,690
Speaker 3: We are, mate. What about the story over the Adelaide

671
00:30:30,750 --> 00:30:34,650
Speaker 3: Football League? Division 3 game was abandoned last month after

672
00:30:34,690 --> 00:30:40,050
Speaker 3: an altercation involving Scotch Old Collegians Max Marsland. There's a

673
00:30:40,070 --> 00:30:43,219
Speaker 3: video of an incident. Now, Marsland has jumped over the

674
00:30:43,300 --> 00:30:47,120
Speaker 3: fence and wrestled with an opposition supporter from the Pembroke

675
00:30:47,220 --> 00:30:47,660
Speaker 3: Old Scholars.

676
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:48,020
Speaker 6: Bullshit!

677
00:30:48,060 --> 00:30:52,200
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, mate. He's in the game, playing the game. Obviously,

678
00:30:52,220 --> 00:30:54,469
Speaker 3: he's copped a bit of abuse, so he's jumped the

679
00:30:54,510 --> 00:30:56,610
Speaker 3: fence and got into a scuffle.

680
00:30:56,190 --> 00:30:59,830
Speaker 1: With a supporter. Cantona style, John. Eric Cantona.

681
00:30:59,990 --> 00:31:02,650
Speaker 3: Absolutely Eric Cantona style. Understood it would have taken place

682
00:31:02,690 --> 00:31:05,840
Speaker 3: in the fourth quarter and resulted in Marsland being hit

683
00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:08,000
Speaker 3: with a nine-week ban.

684
00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:09,740
Speaker 1: For serious misconduct.

685
00:31:11,970 --> 00:31:14,490
Speaker 3: The footy club has also separately handed a fine of

686
00:31:14,490 --> 00:31:19,450
Speaker 3: $ 1, 000 for Marsden's role in the dispute. Now, Dino, this

687
00:31:19,490 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 3: took me back many years ago, nearly 40 years ago now. Actually, yeah,

688
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:25,940
Speaker 3: nearly 40 years ago, I think it is, probably 40

689
00:31:25,940 --> 00:31:29,450
Speaker 3: years ago now. John Burke, who was playing for Collingwood

690
00:31:29,610 --> 00:31:32,310
Speaker 3: at the time... I think it was at Lakeside Oval.

691
00:31:32,330 --> 00:31:36,070
Speaker 3: They were playing against the Swannies. And he's whacked an umpire,

692
00:31:36,130 --> 00:31:39,890
Speaker 3: Brown Dog. He's whacked an umpire. And then they've decided

693
00:31:39,910 --> 00:31:42,140
Speaker 3: to get him off the field, drag him off the field.

694
00:31:43,580 --> 00:31:49,160
Speaker 3: And the result was drag off the field, running off

695
00:31:49,180 --> 00:31:52,560
Speaker 3: for the runner, and obviously some opposition supporters have given

696
00:31:52,580 --> 00:31:54,890
Speaker 3: him a little bit of feedback on the way off. Now,

697
00:31:54,930 --> 00:31:57,090
Speaker 3: this is the great Slug Jordan commentating.

698
00:31:58,050 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 1: Actually, when I was... Oh, he just whacked the other player.

699
00:32:02,780 --> 00:32:02,860
Speaker 5: Hey.

700
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:04,880
Speaker 1: Oh, no. That's unbelievable.

701
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:05,420
Speaker 3: Oh, boy.

702
00:32:05,460 --> 00:32:08,040
Speaker 1: Well, this is sensational. Get him off the ground for

703
00:32:08,060 --> 00:32:08,260
Speaker 1: a second.

704
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:09,240
Speaker 6: Oh, he whacked this one there.

705
00:32:09,700 --> 00:32:11,420
Speaker 3: Oh, he wants to be very careful because.

706
00:32:11,570 --> 00:32:12,810
Speaker 6: I'd take him off there.

707
00:32:12,830 --> 00:32:13,660
Speaker 3: Well, he's got him.

708
00:32:13,710 --> 00:32:15,150
Speaker 1: I think you've got to take the boy off.

709
00:32:15,930 --> 00:32:16,550
Speaker 3: Very smart.

710
00:32:16,590 --> 00:32:18,130
Speaker 1: Definitely. You've got to take the boy off.

711
00:32:18,610 --> 00:32:19,370
Speaker 6: He's leaving the ground.

712
00:32:19,390 --> 00:32:22,860
Speaker 1: You've just got to take him off. Oh, he's going

713
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:25,540
Speaker 1: to punch the photo out of the fence now. He's

714
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:28,660
Speaker 1: into someone in the stand. Oh, he's giving one too.

715
00:32:28,780 --> 00:32:28,980
Speaker 5: Yep.

716
00:32:32,180 --> 00:32:34,940
Speaker 1: John, by far the best bit of that was this line. Oh,

717
00:32:35,100 --> 00:32:41,640
Speaker 1: he's giving one too. That's legendary. You've got to get

718
00:32:41,660 --> 00:32:43,459
Speaker 1: the boy off.

719
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:48,400
Speaker 3: Johnny Burke just goes bang and gives him one. Very good.

720
00:32:48,420 --> 00:32:49,040
Speaker 1: Back in a second.

721
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:54,340
Speaker 2: Welcome back to Brownies Podcast at Brownies Podcast.

722
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:55,600
Speaker 1: On all socials. What have you got for us? I've

723
00:32:55,620 --> 00:32:58,570
Speaker 1: got Waterworld later, but the Hawks-Giants game's a big one

724
00:32:58,590 --> 00:33:01,050
Speaker 1: because the Hawks are maybe the most informed side in

725
00:33:01,070 --> 00:33:04,870
Speaker 1: the competition at the moment. Going beautifully. Giants will be

726
00:33:04,910 --> 00:33:07,450
Speaker 1: a tough ask, but they are playing down in Tassie. JB,

727
00:33:07,470 --> 00:33:07,850
Speaker 1: do you think?

728
00:33:08,170 --> 00:33:08,890
Speaker 3: Yeah, tough one.

729
00:33:08,910 --> 00:33:11,590
Speaker 1: Do you think the Hawks, if they win that, can

730
00:33:11,750 --> 00:33:14,090
Speaker 1: be considered, you know, the top eight potential?

731
00:33:14,110 --> 00:33:14,190
Speaker 4: Yeah.

732
00:33:14,970 --> 00:33:17,560
Speaker 3: Absolutely they can be. They haven't got a great percentage, dog,

733
00:33:17,580 --> 00:33:20,200
Speaker 3: but they've won their last, well, most of their last

734
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:22,530
Speaker 3: few games, haven't they? So they're actually, I think Sam

735
00:33:22,570 --> 00:33:25,370
Speaker 3: Mitchell's got them playing really good football. They're moving the

736
00:33:25,410 --> 00:33:28,150
Speaker 3: ball really well, which could pose some problems. for the

737
00:33:28,190 --> 00:33:32,410
Speaker 3: Giants defensively who've just been a little bit leaky when

738
00:33:32,430 --> 00:33:34,770
Speaker 3: teams start to get their offense going, no doubt about it.

739
00:33:35,150 --> 00:33:39,310
Speaker 3: Anyone watching the Harley Reid Cup, boys? North versus West Coast? No.

740
00:33:39,710 --> 00:33:41,630
Speaker 1: It sucks that Harley's not in the Harley Reid Cup.

741
00:33:41,650 --> 00:33:44,710
Speaker 2: What do you think of that?

742
00:33:45,450 --> 00:33:46,310
Speaker 1: It was pretty bad, John.

743
00:33:46,350 --> 00:33:49,170
Speaker 2: There's one angle where you see Bucks pointed it out

744
00:33:49,470 --> 00:33:51,510
Speaker 2: where one of the medical staff for West Coast was

745
00:33:51,530 --> 00:33:54,209
Speaker 2: standing on the sidelines and she full wince when that

746
00:33:54,410 --> 00:33:55,670
Speaker 2: dude's head bounced off the ground.

747
00:33:55,950 --> 00:33:57,310
Speaker 1: So two weeks is probably fair.

748
00:33:57,330 --> 00:34:00,360
Speaker 3: What do you reckon? He's probably, look, a couple of

749
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:03,500
Speaker 3: years ago, he's probably stiff, wasn't he? But now, he's

750
00:34:03,540 --> 00:34:06,790
Speaker 3: still stiff in that situation. It's hard in that situation,

751
00:34:06,810 --> 00:34:08,810
Speaker 3: but we know he's going to be a bit stiff

752
00:34:08,850 --> 00:34:10,070
Speaker 3: like Brown Dog on a plane.

753
00:34:10,110 --> 00:34:10,300
Speaker 6: Sorry.

754
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:16,140
Speaker 3: I just think it's hard on these lads. But anyway,

755
00:34:16,180 --> 00:34:18,610
Speaker 3: two weeks, but I think you shouldn't lose the rising star.

756
00:34:19,530 --> 00:34:21,850
Speaker 1: Have North spoken to you about coming back to the

757
00:34:21,870 --> 00:34:23,509
Speaker 1: club yet? Because you are still in the books. Do

758
00:34:23,550 --> 00:34:25,069
Speaker 1: they want you in? You've been on annual leave for

759
00:34:25,110 --> 00:34:27,450
Speaker 1: about 12 months now. When are you going back?

760
00:34:27,469 --> 00:34:29,510
Speaker 3: I don't know. I haven't had much of a chance.

761
00:34:29,630 --> 00:34:32,450
Speaker 3: I need to check. How's me boy Lark's going? He

762
00:34:32,469 --> 00:34:34,830
Speaker 3: hasn't been getting great. He hasn't been.

763
00:34:34,590 --> 00:34:35,989
Speaker 1: Kicking goals at all.

764
00:34:36,150 --> 00:34:38,300
Speaker 2: Since you're part of the company, how was the North

765
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:39,700
Speaker 2: Melbourne Christmas party?

766
00:34:39,950 --> 00:34:41,200
Speaker 1: Can you tell us, was it any good?

767
00:34:41,700 --> 00:34:43,879
Speaker 3: Well, it's a little bit. I don't like to talk

768
00:34:43,900 --> 00:34:45,360
Speaker 3: about it. Things just got a little bit out of

769
00:34:45,380 --> 00:34:46,280
Speaker 3: hand after midnight.

770
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:48,600
Speaker 1: What about the three big games at the back end

771
00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:49,140
Speaker 1: of the round?

772
00:34:49,219 --> 00:34:52,440
Speaker 3: Sorry, Doug, what did you think about the send-off? Just

773
00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:55,000
Speaker 3: on the head knocks, the send-off from State of Origin

774
00:34:55,260 --> 00:34:57,930
Speaker 3: where Reece Walsh got cleaned up. Do you agree with

775
00:34:57,950 --> 00:34:58,910
Speaker 3: the full send-off?

776
00:34:58,930 --> 00:35:01,010
Speaker 1: Yep, I do. And I know it ruined the game,

777
00:35:01,150 --> 00:35:04,930
Speaker 1: but they had spoken all week about targeting Reece Walsh,

778
00:35:05,430 --> 00:35:09,110
Speaker 1: obviously one of their playmakers. Now, you then go out

779
00:35:09,130 --> 00:35:12,350
Speaker 1: and execute a hit like that. It's not a 10-minute

780
00:35:12,390 --> 00:35:16,200
Speaker 1: sin bin. To me, they got the right call. He

781
00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:16,719
Speaker 1: had to go.

782
00:35:16,739 --> 00:35:17,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, he did.

783
00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:21,299
Speaker 1: But unfortunately, if you've got nearly 70 minutes of one

784
00:35:21,340 --> 00:35:23,770
Speaker 1: man down in origin, there's no possible way you can

785
00:35:23,810 --> 00:35:24,029
Speaker 1: win it.

786
00:35:24,170 --> 00:35:29,130
Speaker 3: Well, I think maybe you should be allowed to replace

787
00:35:29,170 --> 00:35:31,350
Speaker 3: the player, but that player's then out for the rest

788
00:35:31,390 --> 00:35:33,930
Speaker 3: of the game. So they're essentially a man short on

789
00:35:33,950 --> 00:35:36,030
Speaker 3: the bench, but maybe it's not enough.

790
00:35:35,870 --> 00:35:37,609
Speaker 1: For a deterrent. He was like a missile. I just

791
00:35:37,670 --> 00:35:39,549
Speaker 1: watched him. Yeah, that's a big hit. Look, that would

792
00:35:39,570 --> 00:35:41,540
Speaker 1: have been... Oh, my God. That would have been.

793
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:46,380
Speaker 1: Probably five years ago, but now you can't bang on

794
00:35:46,420 --> 00:35:50,319
Speaker 1: about concussion, protecting players, and then see a hit like

795
00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:54,060
Speaker 1: that in the biggest game of the year, night one

796
00:35:54,100 --> 00:35:57,840
Speaker 1: of Origin, right? Everyone's watching and not send a message

797
00:35:57,860 --> 00:35:59,859
Speaker 1: to the players. Doug, it's like an NFL hit, but

798
00:35:59,880 --> 00:36:04,959
Speaker 1: they don't have helmets. Yeah, and I'm always leaned towards, like,

799
00:36:05,580 --> 00:36:08,970
Speaker 1: don't do that, but I immediately saw that hit and went,

800
00:36:09,530 --> 00:36:11,730
Speaker 1: No choice. Got to send him off. Not acceptable.

801
00:36:11,750 --> 00:36:13,609
Speaker 3: Yeah, right. I think if they had a send-off rule

802
00:36:13,660 --> 00:36:15,620
Speaker 3: in the AFL, you'd have to be able to replace

803
00:36:15,660 --> 00:36:18,000
Speaker 3: the player, but then obviously you're a man down on

804
00:36:18,020 --> 00:36:21,020
Speaker 3: the bench. It'd have great... There's no way known you

805
00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:23,339
Speaker 3: could play with a man short in AFL. You'd get

806
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:28,350
Speaker 3: absolutely pulverized. Three big games this week. No question about that.

807
00:36:28,410 --> 00:36:29,989
Speaker 3: Cat Swans. Cat Swans, big one. It's going to be

808
00:36:30,010 --> 00:36:31,830
Speaker 3: a tough one, though, up there for the Catters. The

809
00:36:31,870 --> 00:36:33,569
Speaker 3: Catts are zipping four, aren't they?

810
00:36:33,590 --> 00:36:36,430
Speaker 1: They're not going great. They beat the Tigers last week,

811
00:36:36,469 --> 00:36:38,190
Speaker 1: but they should have been down by 30 or 40

812
00:36:38,190 --> 00:36:42,060
Speaker 1: points at halftime and Richmond ran out of puff. They're

813
00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:44,480
Speaker 1: not going great at the moment, so the Swans should

814
00:36:44,500 --> 00:36:49,230
Speaker 1: win that. There'll be 90,000 at the MCG for Essendon Carlton. Huge!

815
00:36:49,370 --> 00:36:51,690
Speaker 1: We're going to be live from Fox Footy there. Can

816
00:36:51,710 --> 00:36:53,629
Speaker 1: Bombers do it, get close? It's just in my heart.

817
00:36:53,670 --> 00:36:55,660
Speaker 1: It doesn't feel like it's going to be close. It

818
00:36:55,700 --> 00:36:58,040
Speaker 1: should be. It should be a close game. They're playing...

819
00:36:58,460 --> 00:37:01,260
Speaker 1: Some okay footy. Gold Coast came from behind to knock

820
00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:04,370
Speaker 1: them off last week, but I think Carlton will win that.

821
00:37:04,390 --> 00:37:07,830
Speaker 1: And then obviously backing up on Kings Monday, there'll be

822
00:37:08,030 --> 00:37:13,270
Speaker 1: another 90, 95,000 there for the big freeze. Demons, worst

823
00:37:13,310 --> 00:37:15,620
Speaker 1: game of footy I've ever seen them play. Oh, Jesus.

824
00:37:15,739 --> 00:37:21,320
Speaker 1: That was real bad. Dockers, 92 points. I was still

825
00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:22,560
Speaker 1: on my travels at that stage.

826
00:37:22,660 --> 00:37:24,880
Speaker 3: I couldn't believe the score. What happened?

827
00:37:25,340 --> 00:37:27,040
Speaker 1: Mate, they didn't rock up. No, they just didn't rock

828
00:37:27,100 --> 00:37:30,480
Speaker 1: up to play. got taken apart in every facet of

829
00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:34,490
Speaker 1: the game from the start to the finish. And, yeah,

830
00:37:34,530 --> 00:37:37,770
Speaker 1: like it was over 100 points at one point. And

831
00:37:37,810 --> 00:37:40,589
Speaker 1: Fremantle aren't great. Like if they were the best side

832
00:37:40,630 --> 00:37:43,310
Speaker 1: in the comp, you know, you'd go, well, no side

833
00:37:43,489 --> 00:37:46,009
Speaker 1: that's competing for top four, top eight honours should be

834
00:37:46,050 --> 00:37:48,610
Speaker 1: losing by 100 points. They are sneaking back up though, Frio,

835
00:37:48,630 --> 00:37:50,810
Speaker 1: since a bit of– they started good, had a bit

836
00:37:50,830 --> 00:37:53,609
Speaker 1: of a patch. I think the Pies win that. And

837
00:37:53,670 --> 00:37:56,210
Speaker 1: they're not the favourites. Melbourne are going in favourites, I think,

838
00:37:56,230 --> 00:37:59,350
Speaker 1: which is– Completely defies logic.

839
00:37:59,469 --> 00:38:03,410
Speaker 2: Hey, real quick back to Essendon Blues. If Bombers win,

840
00:38:03,430 --> 00:38:06,270
Speaker 2: you've got to admit they're proper this year because I

841
00:38:06,330 --> 00:38:08,810
Speaker 2: feel like we're not really acknowledging it.

842
00:38:09,570 --> 00:38:12,610
Speaker 3: Well, absolutely. And Gold Coast are no slouches at home.

843
00:38:12,850 --> 00:38:15,359
Speaker 3: Gold Coast have won, I think they're 7-0 at home

844
00:38:15,390 --> 00:38:18,360
Speaker 3: this year or 6-0. So most teams haven't been able

845
00:38:18,380 --> 00:38:20,279
Speaker 3: to come close to them. And Essendon probably should have

846
00:38:20,300 --> 00:38:23,180
Speaker 3: won that game against the Suns last week. So Brad

847
00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:27,320
Speaker 3: Scott's got them playing finals-type football. They're tough and hard inside.

848
00:38:27,340 --> 00:38:29,860
Speaker 3: They should be able to match Carlton inside. It's a

849
00:38:29,910 --> 00:38:32,549
Speaker 3: fascinating game. I can't wait to be there. Aren't we

850
00:38:32,590 --> 00:38:35,930
Speaker 3: in the golden era, boys, of crowds and attendances? Yes, Josh.

851
00:38:36,150 --> 00:38:38,290
Speaker 3: Those big clubs. I know Richmond has struggled a little

852
00:38:38,310 --> 00:38:40,069
Speaker 3: bit this year. They've come good the last couple of weeks,

853
00:38:40,110 --> 00:38:42,910
Speaker 3: but it's just amazing to think that we get 90,

854
00:38:42,910 --> 00:38:46,700
Speaker 3: 95,000 for regular season games. We talk about it like

855
00:38:46,739 --> 00:38:49,800
Speaker 3: it's just an everyday affair. It's just quite an amazing

856
00:38:49,860 --> 00:38:52,160
Speaker 3: era that we're going through in the AFL. It's fantastic.

857
00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:55,980
Speaker 1: All right, here we go. Time for Waterworld. I don't

858
00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:58,319
Speaker 1: usually back up with Waterworlds Monday and Friday, but this

859
00:38:58,930 --> 00:39:01,590
Speaker 1: game across my desk, and it's an absolute beauty. Remote

860
00:39:01,690 --> 00:39:06,030
Speaker 1: Amazonian tribe, they finally got connected to the internet thanks

861
00:39:06,090 --> 00:39:11,880
Speaker 1: to Elon Musk's Starlink. And within a matter of months,

862
00:39:12,860 --> 00:39:16,280
Speaker 1: the whole tribe get hooked on porn and social media.

863
00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:23,850
Speaker 1: It's quite a story. The elders have been complaining because

864
00:39:23,890 --> 00:39:28,170
Speaker 1: all the younger men and women in the tribe have

865
00:39:28,210 --> 00:39:32,700
Speaker 1: been hooked. This is a Brazilian story. Maruba tribe that

866
00:39:32,719 --> 00:39:38,530
Speaker 1: have kept away from society their whole life. And Tesla

867
00:39:38,550 --> 00:39:44,180
Speaker 1: have been serving them, the remote rainforest community, just along

868
00:39:44,219 --> 00:39:48,580
Speaker 1: the Aitu River with Wi-Fi. And, mate, it's sent the

869
00:39:48,620 --> 00:39:52,240
Speaker 1: tribe into pandemonium. They've gotten lazy because of the internet.

870
00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:56,120
Speaker 1: They've gone blind from touching it too much. And, yeah,

871
00:39:56,140 --> 00:39:59,800
Speaker 1: like you get chastised in the tribe for kissing in public,

872
00:40:00,180 --> 00:40:03,790
Speaker 1: but they've found– that they're addicted to porn, they're starting

873
00:40:03,830 --> 00:40:07,609
Speaker 1: to masturbate around others. Welcome to Brodie's World.

874
00:40:08,930 --> 00:40:09,550
Speaker 3: That's amazing.

875
00:40:09,590 --> 00:40:14,880
Speaker 1: They're sharing videos in group chats. There's aggressive sexual behaviour. Oh, no.

876
00:40:15,340 --> 00:40:17,360
Speaker 1: They're worried that the young members of the tribe are

877
00:40:17,380 --> 00:40:21,500
Speaker 1: getting into kinky sex acts. And what I'll say to

878
00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:26,830
Speaker 1: this elderly Maruba tribe is welcome to to reality because

879
00:40:26,850 --> 00:40:28,690
Speaker 1: that's what all the kids these days do.

880
00:40:28,750 --> 00:40:31,410
Speaker 2: Isn't it funny how people say, oh, they're so pure,

881
00:40:31,469 --> 00:40:32,840
Speaker 2: people that live off the grid.

882
00:40:33,110 --> 00:40:34,960
Speaker 1: Mate, give them a phone, they're going to look at porn.

883
00:40:35,500 --> 00:40:35,940
Speaker 3: Of course.

884
00:40:35,980 --> 00:40:36,860
Speaker 1: That's my takeaway.

885
00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:38,799
Speaker 3: Imagine them in there and they wouldn't wear them. I

886
00:40:38,820 --> 00:40:41,760
Speaker 3: love to see their little outfits too, like their tribal outfits.

887
00:40:42,180 --> 00:40:44,800
Speaker 3: That'd be a little bit harder to hide the bus fat.

888
00:40:44,820 --> 00:40:46,840
Speaker 1: For 2,000 years they have. I hadn't considered that. I

889
00:40:46,980 --> 00:40:49,700
Speaker 1: hadn't considered that, John. For 2,000 years they have stayed

890
00:40:49,739 --> 00:40:51,839
Speaker 1: away from this sort of stuff in the space of

891
00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:52,719
Speaker 1: six months.

892
00:40:52,739 --> 00:40:52,930
Speaker 6: Yes.

893
00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:55,750
Speaker 1: With internet, it's completely blown up the whole tribe. What

894
00:40:55,790 --> 00:40:56,110
Speaker 1: a world.

895
00:40:56,590 --> 00:40:56,870
Speaker 3: Shit.

896
00:40:56,890 --> 00:40:59,109
Speaker 1: Hey, have a great week. John, good to see you, man.

897
00:40:59,630 --> 00:41:01,090
Speaker 3: No, it's great to see you guys.

898
00:41:01,150 --> 00:41:01,890
Speaker 1: I'm alive.

899
00:41:02,090 --> 00:41:06,410
Speaker 3: I'll see you in studio on Monday. Have a great weekend, eh? Tuesday, actually.

900
00:41:06,430 --> 00:41:08,630
Speaker 1: Yeah, long weekend. We'll be doing this Tuesday, so enjoy

901
00:41:08,650 --> 00:41:09,109
Speaker 1: the long weekend.

902
00:41:09,150 --> 00:41:11,069
Speaker 2: And also, I'm going to have a tribute to one

903
00:41:11,090 --> 00:41:13,950
Speaker 2: of the degenerates who's done some really, really nice things

904
00:41:14,110 --> 00:41:14,690
Speaker 2: on Friday.

905
00:41:14,930 --> 00:41:15,310
Speaker 1: See you later.
