Speaker 1: She was she was great, funny, lot of ship about Cooper,
Speaker 1: which is what we really wanted.
Speaker 2: Bad stuff.
Speaker 1: There's bad stuff like that. I heard your room is
Speaker 1: an absolute fucking pig style. What's what's your going swearing
Speaker 1: on this podcast? Sometimes we're very progressive.
Speaker 3: Anything you want, like you can hammer anyone like, you
Speaker 3: can say whatever you want and we don't even beep it.
Speaker 1: We won't strap it.
Speaker 2: That's one thing about our business. There ain no hr beautiful.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's like, that's like so we had Yeah, we
Speaker 1: had Trish on. She was great. We got a fun
Speaker 1: winch fest.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: No, look we were we were We kept it at
Speaker 1: the highest nice fun level.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So when when is that coming out? Monday? Also this
Speaker 1: is yeah.
Speaker 3: Paying on a second too, worlds collide, So when this
Speaker 3: comes out Trisha's episode about two.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so that's about the first thing Monday morning. Well
Speaker 1: it was great, a lot of fun and the shear
Speaker 1: we sort of touched on the breast cancer stuff. When
Speaker 1: when when all that happened? And which is really helpful
Speaker 1: for our audience because we're like seventy five percent women somehow.
Speaker 1: Oh really yeah we are. Yeah, women love you and
Speaker 1: me you exactly right. Yeah, other husbands want to be us.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, so yeah, good Monday. Yeah, and did you
Speaker 1: reverse into your bins? Not this time? This time?
Speaker 2: So they had a scratch when she comes back.
Speaker 1: Its funny she had her own key.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I hope she returned it. She was horrifile when
Speaker 2: you go back, because she said, she's like unusual toilet.
Speaker 2: She thought you're going to number one, but number two
Speaker 2: and there was no scrubbing brush in there.
Speaker 1: What's the go with that? What do you have to do?
Speaker 1: And speaking of that, I was just watching a clip
Speaker 1: of how she was talking about hovering above the toilet. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and you were baffled. Let me hear go. My old
Speaker 1: man who's in his sixties now, God bless her. He
Speaker 1: he actually just survived a triple bypass. Than he's going
Speaker 1: to love that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's going to love that.
Speaker 1: Big he's a big fan of the John's family of course,
Speaker 1: so good ay whena and he's a horror when he ships,
Speaker 1: even at home everywhere. What so the the the thought
Speaker 1: process behind it is he he hovers because it prevents piles.
Speaker 2: Ah yes, yes, yes, the old ah yeah that was
Speaker 2: It was very common growing up. People used to say,
Speaker 2: don't sit on concrete and give you piles.
Speaker 1: So what is piles? They're just hemorrhoids.
Speaker 3: So by hovering, apparently hovering like is good for the
Speaker 3: stool like it's the best way for it to emerge.
Speaker 2: In Asian nations, they generally like will stand on the
Speaker 2: toilets in the Western toilets because apparently opens up the
Speaker 2: bowel more. But anyway, if any of our Asian listeners
Speaker 2: can verify that, because as I tend to throw out
Speaker 2: facts which now people have corrected me.
Speaker 1: This is the thing like the New Age.
Speaker 3: Right, dads lived through both ages where people don't really
Speaker 3: fact check what you say, and now the New Age,
Speaker 3: the things that he said on the podcast and said
Speaker 3: religiously for twenty years on TV, now people are starting
Speaker 3: to pull it up for it.
Speaker 1: Yes, that's the best when like people starting to pull
Speaker 1: you up on it. Like we had a lady who
Speaker 1: was wining about how the government didn't see her twins
Speaker 1: as two kids, and I was like, what are they
Speaker 1: sign means or something like that, and then we were
Speaker 1: we sort of round off the reason, but why with
Speaker 1: no research? And then people are like, you don't know
Speaker 1: anything about having twins? He would just kick off. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they get so caught.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, so why didn't they don't see her kids
Speaker 3: as twins?
Speaker 1: It's a long story. Yeah, let's not even let's a
Speaker 1: long story. But the hover thing. So I remember back
Speaker 1: when I was a kid, my old man would be like,
Speaker 1: don't see on the toilet for so long because hes
Speaker 1: obviously stuff with Hammrhin's sorry, dad to really throw out
Speaker 1: under the bus here, but yeah, he used to say
Speaker 1: he hovers and he's only like five to five, so
Speaker 1: it'd be tough to hover above. It must be a
Speaker 1: low toilet, a western size toilet.
Speaker 2: So yeah, it's funny Like again, growing up my dad
Speaker 2: like every Saturday morning, Saturday morning for me was Dad
Speaker 2: basically going into the toilet with the form guide, a smoke,
Speaker 2: a black coffee and just sitting in the toilet and
Speaker 2: it must be shitting for forty five minutes. And look
Speaker 2: when I look back now, I was only a young
Speaker 2: kid and he had me in his bed eighteen, so
Speaker 2: he'd have been in his mid twenties. And I was thinking, Okay,
Speaker 2: what actually did take place in that forty five minutes?
Speaker 2: Was he really looking at the top weight or was
Speaker 2: he pulling his own weight?
Speaker 1: Definitely river the end of it hundred at least one time.
Speaker 1: But like the combination of coffee in it and a
Speaker 1: black coffee and Siggy tell you right now, if he was,
Speaker 1: if he was jerking it that come with a stunt,
Speaker 1: you wouldn't want to go and melted the floor.
Speaker 3: French women basically live on black coffee and smoking. They
Speaker 3: barely eat.
Speaker 2: I've heard that that that's that's a stereotype.
Speaker 1: Oh is it?
Speaker 2: Yeah, amazing joke.
Speaker 3: I'm twenty five and a half. I'm twenty five and
Speaker 3: a half.
Speaker 1: My toddlers five and a half child now five and
Speaker 1: a half.
Speaker 2: Unfortunately, you don't get correct facts on Instagram.
Speaker 1: Yes you're doing sorry TikTok, like that's where I get
Speaker 1: all my information. Now, you've got your manly hat on.
Speaker 3: When we're recording this mainly about to play the Broncos.
Speaker 3: I want to get your thought because this will come out,
Speaker 3: you know, in a couple of days. I want to
Speaker 3: get you're either going to look like a legend or
Speaker 3: you're going to look like an idiot.
Speaker 1: Who do you think is going to win? I'm going
Speaker 1: to look like an idiot. No, I reckon, Brisbane's probably
Speaker 1: going to rollers.
Speaker 2: We saw him last night actually spike their drinks. Yeah
Speaker 2: I did. I tried to spike a pat carry instruc
Speaker 2: backing up.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think they're all playing. They're backing up.
Speaker 2: I saw pain House last night and I raced up
Speaker 2: to him and said no Vocastrian because he would be
Speaker 2: staring at me, and I was all over like a
Speaker 2: cheap suit, going yeah, legend and he's such a nice kid.
Speaker 2: He was see his eyes is going this.
Speaker 1: I don't even know.
Speaker 3: If Paine was there, you would have set it to
Speaker 3: the Jesus Christ.
Speaker 1: I met him at when they meet him at It
Speaker 1: was a Brisbane preseason camp. But in that's right, we
Speaker 1: saw the video. Yeah the video, such a lovely guy,
Speaker 1: champion soft talker for how big he is a man
Speaker 1: mountain and I was just like I was sort of
Speaker 1: wasn't expecting him to be so like softly spoken. It
Speaker 1: sort of took me back a little bit.
Speaker 2: It's really his articulate kids. Yeah, and what he's had
Speaker 2: to endure in the last five years is quite it's
Speaker 2: amazing what he had, what he has taken on board. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's pretty incredible. He's oppressed.
Speaker 3: He's a mentally tough bloke, like even even state of
Speaker 3: Originally I went into camp a couple of times and
Speaker 3: he'd only trained once and it was like very light
Speaker 3: session that he did. He was just doing rehab all
Speaker 3: week and then went out there and was like the
Speaker 3: best player off.
Speaker 1: He was unbelievable.
Speaker 2: I remember the first time Sydney play, it was Jack
Speaker 2: playing against you. Remember that time was you're playing under
Speaker 2: twenties and he was playing for the Broncos under twenties
Speaker 2: and he just performed a demolition job on you bokes.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they we had We had them late in the
Speaker 4: year when I was playing twenties and twenty seventeen, and
Speaker 4: you just there was a fuel and that came back
Speaker 4: and they put about fifty on us and McDonald Jones
Speaker 4: day and he just destroyed us.
Speaker 3: I could imagine, well payings my age, so to be
Speaker 3: playing he could have been playing twenty five and a half.
Speaker 3: I just said that, Yeah, so he would have been playing.
Speaker 3: And at that age, two years is a big different
Speaker 3: like to not play under eight ens go straight to
Speaker 3: twenty like that's a big like now in NRL it's nothing,
Speaker 3: but at that age it's a big development jump. So
Speaker 3: he did to go out there and dominate Jack, and
Speaker 3: I'm sure he ran over him a few times. Was
Speaker 3: at the game Jack where and there was a viral
Speaker 3: people might remember it. There was a viral video that
Speaker 3: went around of Jack.
Speaker 1: Remember that that was just in the finals, the final.
Speaker 3: Against the Broncos Jack shirt Jack's shirt on fifth tackle
Speaker 3: got ripped off right.
Speaker 1: And then.
Speaker 3: Just went viral randomly of like young girls being like, oh,
Speaker 3: good looking this, but lots of change since then.
Speaker 1: You're definitely taking credit for this one. But he threw
Speaker 1: his jersey on the sideline.
Speaker 3: Jack, he couldn't get it back on because they're hard
Speaker 3: to get on when they're sweaty, and you made like a.
Speaker 1: Couple of tackles or two. Shirt Less got to get that.
Speaker 4: I was playing six and I had to take a
Speaker 4: second tackle carry and I carried the ball, and I
Speaker 4: think might be pack Carrigan or something like that. Ripped
Speaker 4: my shirt off and then it was a wind tunnel
Speaker 4: in it was the old Ali Arms wind tunnel in there,
Speaker 4: and I had to get it was fifth tackle and
Speaker 4: my shirt was non so I just threw it to
Speaker 4: the side, put a nice little in the corner. Now,
Speaker 4: trainer Simon Webber, you know, put it back inside out
Speaker 4: for me so I could chuck it on quickly, becauseuse
Speaker 4: inside out. That's taking too much time. You know, first
Speaker 4: job is, you know, put a nudge in the corner.
Speaker 1: You're a team first kind of guy, and that's you
Speaker 1: could have got it. You could have called it. You
Speaker 1: could have called all sorts of things.
Speaker 3: Last word jack before I turned your mic off for eternity,
Speaker 3: anything else.
Speaker 1: That Brisbane ship was the same one that we gave
Speaker 1: Reese Walsh the chili the chili gummy. So I was
Speaker 1: chatting to him and he we did like a food
Speaker 1: challenge and I was chatting to him and I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: I've got the world's hottest gummy here and he's like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: said you should hide in a bunch of lollies and
Speaker 1: just give it. I didn't know it was going to
Speaker 1: give it to your boys. Oh that's right, because he
Speaker 1: gave it to flat flat. Yeah. Do you remember that
Speaker 1: when yeah? Yeah, yeah, So I gave him the weapon.
Speaker 2: You're loaded the gun?
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, I loaded as that. Here go, mate, do
Speaker 1: what you like with it. Because I was kicking. I
Speaker 1: ended up afterwards. I was out running drills with Ezra
Speaker 1: Man and choreo it's and then he comes out out
Speaker 1: and he was like, oh fucking just have a look
Speaker 1: at this on his phone out and just showed me
Speaker 1: and I was like, fuck, that's going. That was very funny.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's good as opposed to the other gummies that's
Speaker 3: starting to circulated in Australia.
Speaker 2: Just graceful.
Speaker 1: Yeah, which we are not advocates. So I'll tell you.
Speaker 1: We had Cusy on the other day. Who loves a gun?
Speaker 1: Dave Hugh.
Speaker 2: He it looks like the woman on that smoking packet,
Speaker 2: doesn't he.
Speaker 1: Yeah. He tells a really funny story where he took
Speaker 1: some gummies in Hawaii and wore his wife swimsuit down
Speaker 1: to the beach and didn't know. That's a fucking great story.
Speaker 1: He tells in his standard.
Speaker 3: No wonder like no wonder when you walk in the
Speaker 3: streets of New York, LA. Like you see some of
Speaker 3: the creatures getting around because everyone's just on gummies.
Speaker 2: It's quite amazing. The smell of America now is weird. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's just remarkable how things turn around. I mean even
Speaker 2: even more so Thailand. I mean Thailand. God, twenty years ago,
Speaker 2: fifteen twenty years ago, you're getting light in jail with
Speaker 2: drugs and now a lot of weed stools just pop
Speaker 2: on a bed.
Speaker 3: Well, I'm here and even obviously Barley's quite strict still,
Speaker 3: but I think since COVID, like, it's definitely loosened because
Speaker 3: some of my mates were over there not long ago
Speaker 3: and they like got their hands on gummies and stuff.
Speaker 3: But remember, like pre COVID, you go over there, it's like,
Speaker 3: you know, you wouldn't you wouldn't just you wouldn't even
Speaker 3: look for Yeah, I know she spent life for jail
Speaker 3: and she didn't even know it was in the bookie.
Speaker 1: But I just got busted in Bali for having a
Speaker 1: kilo and a half of coke delivered from Thailand. Yeah
Speaker 1: he's gone as Aussie, but he's gone.
Speaker 2: Man, Why would you all the all the coke bundles
Speaker 2: of coke kept washing up in the beach up and
Speaker 2: around here on the Northern Northern Beach. We know someone
Speaker 2: who found No, you don't, we know somebody.
Speaker 1: What do they have to do? Like the full disclosed?
Speaker 1: They have to tell me who it is who wasn't.
Speaker 1: There was a.
Speaker 2: Couple of the guys and they found it, and there
Speaker 2: was a they're a work crew, and there was an
Speaker 2: older bloke there and they called it. And imagine these
Speaker 2: young guys go right like just said boys, boys, like
Speaker 2: just think about this. You know you do that for
Speaker 2: the rest of your life. You're waiting for that knock
Speaker 2: on the door. The gangsters got the Russians. The bluffed
Speaker 2: him out of it. I know he bluffed me out
Speaker 2: of it. Yeah, they handed it over with a tear
Speaker 2: in their eye. Oh.
Speaker 1: I haven't seen him since working with Aaron Woods.
Speaker 3: Right, So you've got a you've got a couple of
Speaker 3: podcasts that's going to get to But you've been doing
Speaker 3: an NRL podcast with Renee Gardner and Aaron Woods, our
Speaker 3: great friend of the Poddy.
Speaker 1: A bit of Brent take too joining it. He's just
Speaker 1: just through origin to give us a queens perspect because
Speaker 1: they're all it's funny, we're all in your South Wales,
Speaker 1: we're all Manly, well, he would. It could be any team.
Speaker 3: Which which he's played for, just Red every he's got
Speaker 3: more more clubs than justin Hamm Yeah, yeah, he's played
Speaker 3: ten games every clubs.
Speaker 1: Just like how many I think I've asked you this
Speaker 1: before you how many games did you play in total?
Speaker 1: Nineteen and there's twenty six in a season. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3: But this is the thing I would argue, quality wise
Speaker 3: and consistency outside of pre season, outside of pre season.
Speaker 3: By the way, Tony Mestro, if you're welcome for that
Speaker 3: one hundred grand, if you know what they did with
Speaker 3: the one hundred grand that I want.
Speaker 1: Them, they bought you into retirement with it. Yes, they
Speaker 1: nudged me out. They bought a sauna for all the boys.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, So what are we getting to go in
Speaker 1: that sauna? I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 3: I don't think that you know what because Manly's facilities right,
Speaker 3: so it's the most high tech security system you've ever seen,
Speaker 3: like for a rugby I've walked in there, but it's
Speaker 3: for training its face I d so like the building
Speaker 3: where the sauna is in the locker room is you
Speaker 3: have fingerprint with your face to get in and as
Speaker 3: soon as you finished, literally I reckon. The day after
Speaker 3: Brad Parker said the same thing because he went he
Speaker 3: left some boots in there. He went to go back
Speaker 3: into his locker to get them and mate. The day
Speaker 3: after the season finished, bulls they had to race. They
Speaker 3: had raced out.
Speaker 1: We were still got to clear our locker out. You
Speaker 1: still want to clear it out for you?
Speaker 2: It was pretty confronting. I remember when I was working
Speaker 2: at Triple Amp there were people who it was so ruthless.
Speaker 2: I was watching, going what is happening? And these people
Speaker 2: laid off. I forget what it was, but there was
Speaker 2: no sentiment, there was no empathy. They sent the security
Speaker 2: in Marster, they picked up their computers and master them
Speaker 2: out of the office. That's wild, that's crazy, And it's
Speaker 2: that's his court, that's his corporate world.
Speaker 1: I mean, I used to work in corporate world, and yeah,
Speaker 1: fu at cb A sitting in CBA and people just
Speaker 1: walking out of the box.
Speaker 2: Of their ships. Wild. So we're actually thinking about putting
Speaker 2: a going to put a sworn around the back. And
Speaker 2: if we're going to do a sworn, and let's do
Speaker 2: it just a whole bath house made. If we put
Speaker 2: the bath and made come over me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's going to be like a massage. I don't
Speaker 1: want Maddie over here though he's rigg put you put
Speaker 1: it a shame.
Speaker 2: I saw the calendar.
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, do so that calendar was. I did
Speaker 1: three weeks in Bali and landed that morning to do
Speaker 1: that shoot. So I'm bodied by bintang and bloated as fuck.
Speaker 1: You were very really tan, and Matt's just halfway through
Speaker 1: the Ned Brockman challenge. The guy, I've seen youre body
Speaker 1: fat or skeleton fucking help, And then I had to
Speaker 1: stand next to him a bunch of animals as fuck.
Speaker 1: Do you know? It was really funny that day we
Speaker 1: did that shoot a It was the it was like
Speaker 1: a petting zoo out dural. It was closed for a
Speaker 1: private event, a seniors event, and then they were like, oh,
Speaker 1: I suppose you can do it while we're doing that anyway.
Speaker 1: They had an ambulance on site just in case, because
Speaker 1: Maddie's walking around with no shirt on and all these
Speaker 1: old ducks. It's just like, shit, I'm milking a cow
Speaker 1: while looking like a cow. And it was just like
Speaker 1: they were just dropped. They were dropping like fliers.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but the picture in there June.
Speaker 3: Now, Maddie Jay, obviously he's your main podcast two Dotting Dads,
Speaker 3: as opposed to the one you.
Speaker 1: Do with Woodsy.
Speaker 3: He's your right hand man, Maddie. I wanted to ask,
Speaker 3: how did that come about. I'm always very interested when
Speaker 3: a show comes together, whether you've been friends for ages,
Speaker 3: or whether you just admired each other's content work and
Speaker 3: you just got together really really.
Speaker 1: A couple of years ago, he reached out to me
Speaker 1: just with a content idea and we sort of met up.
Speaker 1: It was funny. We the first time we met was
Speaker 1: like a bit of a blind date situation where he
Speaker 1: messaged me and said, I've been invited to this meta
Speaker 1: event do you want to come? And I was like, yeah, sweet,
Speaker 1: you never met nah, but we were like we wanted
Speaker 1: to do some content together, and then we ended up
Speaker 1: making a video in it like it was in a
Speaker 1: playground setting that was really like it was meant to
Speaker 1: be really funny, but it was ended up being really dramatic.
Speaker 1: It was like the music behind it. It was like
Speaker 1: when you spot someone you when you spot another dad,
Speaker 1: you know, in a park because being in a park
Speaker 1: with a bunch of kids, it's fucking so boring torture
Speaker 1: and you see. And so we did the whole like
Speaker 1: come together really slow running and the in the park
Speaker 1: spinning and all sorts of stuff like that, and it
Speaker 1: went off and people were loving it. And we did
Speaker 1: a few other things, and I had a few ideas
Speaker 1: for a podcast, and then one of them was a
Speaker 1: dad sort of relationship podcast. And it was really hard
Speaker 1: to get across the line because he he's done a
Speaker 1: few pods before, his wife's got like one of the
Speaker 1: most successful pods that works at a r N. And
Speaker 1: then I ended up saying to him, I told good,
Speaker 1: I got another dad. He was like, oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: I just left it for a week. And then I
Speaker 1: was like, are you sure you don't want to do it,
Speaker 1: and he was like, yeah, okay, we'll do it, but
Speaker 1: we have to call it two doting dads. And I
Speaker 1: was like why. He was like, because one time Daily
Speaker 1: Mail written article about him just because he was taking
Speaker 1: the kids to the park, because how low the bar
Speaker 1: is for dads? A right, So you're in Lark when
Speaker 1: it finally happens, if it ever happened fingers cross there
Speaker 1: as well. He was just at the park with his kids,
Speaker 1: the Bare Minimum, and they wrote this article saying, oh,
Speaker 1: doting dad Maddie Jay. So it was a bit of
Speaker 1: a jab towards Daily Mail. And then yeah, we just
Speaker 1: recorded at his kitchen table was full of laundry with
Speaker 1: a producer and she was Keisha.
Speaker 3: Yes, Keisha Pettitt. She actually used to work at Triple
Speaker 3: M with you, dad. Yeah, I think she used to
Speaker 3: do some producing for she did.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you know. Yeah. So we sat and she
Speaker 1: was like, there's something here you got You've got to
Speaker 1: go with it.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Wow, it's been too Yeah, it's been just past two
Speaker 1: years and one hundred and forty eight.
Speaker 2: Appsent say, I love the name because they say that
Speaker 2: that doting dads are often a turn on for females.
Speaker 3: So can I ask my ignorance, what is a doting
Speaker 3: Dad's you are joking, aren't you?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 1: No, it's a it's a it's a present caring dad essentially,
Speaker 1: Like is that almost is it like a stay at
Speaker 1: home dad? Not necessarily, No, it's just a more involved
Speaker 1: and like this generation of dads is where what it
Speaker 1: used to be like forty forty seven percent of dads
Speaker 1: used to change nappies. Now it's at ninety seven percent.
Speaker 1: Well do you that's a stat David Middleton, Yeah, and
Speaker 1: that's it was just Mitch Moses.
Speaker 2: Back in the day we knew before the disposable nappies
Speaker 2: used to have the old washing them. I have to
Speaker 2: wash them, pull them off.
Speaker 1: Were you it was a real mess?
Speaker 3: Were you a because I would say you weren' a
Speaker 3: doting dad, especially when you were playing. Yes, I was, well,
Speaker 3: you was like at present, you were quite absent from
Speaker 3: about now.
Speaker 1: That's the main thing, all right, guys, but he's more
Speaker 1: of a mate now than a day.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I would know, I would say out of
Speaker 3: the shear fact that you worked a lot, your travel
Speaker 3: for football, and then you were also doing stuff you know.
Speaker 1: With the footage exactly you know what.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was going to say talking about mad Mondays
Speaker 3: when Jack was born.
Speaker 1: I've heard the story. Really, Have you had your moum
Speaker 1: on the pod? B oh, yeah, she had some laundry out. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was like she was telling us that you went out,
Speaker 1: came back. They she didn't want you to come into

Speaker 3: had these micro We had these frozen pizzas that we
Speaker 3: remember them, the frozen square. They were circle. We just
Speaker 3: get them down to the.
Speaker 2: Oga through every shape there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's I think it was, and I've put it in.
Speaker 3: This is one of the like when you fall asleep.
Speaker 3: I've put it in the in the oven and I'm
Speaker 3: sitting on the couch. Takes about twenty minutes. I've passed
Speaker 3: out on the couch. Sarah lucky Sarah was living with us,
Speaker 3: because the whole place would have burnt to the ground.
Speaker 1: She reckoned. I mean, remember how I met. How long
Speaker 1: the smoke took to get out of the house, like
Speaker 1: it would completely cold, black charcoal hangs around like a
Speaker 1: bad guest. Smoke.
Speaker 3: You can't get rid of it, mate, smoke is It's
Speaker 3: a tricky little they like crabs, tricky little customer.
Speaker 1: I used to live. I used to live with the
Speaker 1: family in Elanora Heart when I moved back to Sydney
Speaker 1: and with a mate, and he was the worst for that.
Speaker 1: He would get home, put something in the oven, and
Speaker 1: fall asleep at the fucking table, and then I wake
Speaker 1: everyone up with the smoke alarm. Nearly burned the fucking
Speaker 1: house down.
Speaker 2: Which tush, She never told you about the time that
Speaker 2: she was so stoned she got she got home and
Speaker 2: tried to tried to cook squid rings in the microwave
Speaker 2: and then watching ages.
Speaker 3: Squid rings calimari, Oh, is that what squid rings are called.
Speaker 1: That's what they used to be called. Bro.
Speaker 2: So, honestly, back in the did you go to school.
Speaker 1: As I went to school in Eleanora.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it must have been an excellent school given the
Speaker 2: fact that you know, like hear that squid rings.
Speaker 1: I went to Some Paul's for one year selling me.
Speaker 2: Yeah. St.
Speaker 1: Paul's a good school.
Speaker 3: Back to mad J because I wanted to bring up
Speaker 3: he was obviously on The Bachelor, right reality TV. I've
Speaker 3: got a bone to people with reality TV. I want
Speaker 3: to see if you agree with me. Have you ever
Speaker 3: done reality TV?
Speaker 1: No? Na, no? Would you? Oh look, money talks, but
Speaker 1: if the money was good, I wanted to say, you
Speaker 1: would do Love Island. I reckon divors Ireland should take off.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I'm going to pitch Swingers Ireland where a
Speaker 3: cup like actual married and they do that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they do that, they do It's not married couples though,
Speaker 1: it's like it's the English one. Then you've got to
Speaker 1: watch you missus by someone else you have not seen
Speaker 1: that sounds pretty cool. I haven't seen that all ray TV.
Speaker 3: Do you think it's because I when obviously Maddie J
Speaker 3: got his name from winning The Bachelor right, yep. And
Speaker 3: I look at a lot of the reality TV stars
Speaker 3: now that come out of it, and they're never quite
Speaker 3: they're not really household names, you know, they're not really
Speaker 3: like they don't really so much of it.
Speaker 1: They don't really take off and become household names anymore.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Is that Do you think that's because Radley TV has
Speaker 1: gone down? Yeah, totally, That's one reason I think like
Speaker 1: it Also with Maddie, he's just done such a good
Speaker 1: job to stay relevant. Like he he he adapts so well.
Speaker 1: So he went from losing the Bachelorette to winning the
Speaker 1: Bachelor to then taking what he had and running with
Speaker 1: it instead of like a lot of people don't. And
Speaker 1: he's like he's really switched on opposed to a lot
Speaker 1: of these other dickheads. Yeah. But I think also like
Speaker 1: they've just flooded the market. It's flooded the market a
Speaker 1: bit with a bunch of desperate people. It's also another
Speaker 1: thing I'd like to see is they always put these
Speaker 1: really good looking people and love shows winging about that
Speaker 1: they can't five fine love, but they're also fucking good looking.
Speaker 1: Put a couple of ugly people in there. That's something
Speaker 1: like what people that are really actually struggling again to day,
Speaker 1: not these guys who just fuck around.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like that. But the other thing to keep You've
Speaker 2: got to remember this if we go way way back
Speaker 2: in time, back to the prehistoric days, when I was
Speaker 2: a kid in Newcastle was too too channels. There was
Speaker 2: the ABC and there was Channel three which was Channel
Speaker 2: nine affiliate. Even in in Sydney had nine, seven, ten,
Speaker 2: And then all of a sudden you had pay TV
Speaker 2: come in and you know these shows, you know, these
Speaker 2: big shows still maintain. But now these days you've got
Speaker 2: all the pay TV, it'd all free to wear streaming,
Speaker 2: You've got Netflix streaming and everything. It just gets lost.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, unless you like really got your finger on
Speaker 1: the polets like my missus who reality TV as a jam.
Speaker 1: Oh she loves it, and I'm just like, I can't
Speaker 1: fucking stand it. Like I'm open with matt about that,
Speaker 1: I can't stand reality TV as well, even though he's
Speaker 1: from reality TV. But yeah, he did really well to
Speaker 1: be more. Just more than that, is.
Speaker 3: There a show you do if you had to do,
Speaker 3: And this is a question for you too, Matthew.
Speaker 1: I would like to do Survivor or something one of
Speaker 1: the challenge ones right, like say yes if that comeback? Yeah, honestly,
Speaker 1: can you have beers out there? Probably it's oh yeah,
Speaker 1: I would say Survivor, but it would need to be
Speaker 1: like I don't want to be like the oldest all
Speaker 1: the youngest. I want to be like in the middle.
Speaker 1: What about you, I've.
Speaker 2: Been I've been asked to do most I got asked
Speaker 2: to do. You've been I've got celebrity start about four
Speaker 2: or five times. In no way.
Speaker 1: I've seen you downce down the colliery. You probably have
Speaker 1: a good crack at that. Yeah, every Friday, how good
Speaker 1: is salsa night down here? They do want up at
Speaker 1: the forest as well?
Speaker 2: Mate, it's insane slice of bonas areas here in Colorad
Speaker 2: and I.
Speaker 1: Goes crazy on Friday nights.
Speaker 2: So dance with the Stars we asked to do and
Speaker 2: get me out of here. Put it this way, like
Speaker 2: you go, okay, if I would never go on the show,
Speaker 2: it's the celebrity. If they think I'm a celebrity, get
Speaker 2: me on there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a low bar this year.
Speaker 2: It's but Survivor did a couple but it's just not
Speaker 2: my gal.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I like what I like. Yeah, there was a
Speaker 1: time there where I was going to be on Big
Speaker 1: Brother during COVID, but I did like the last I
Speaker 1: like the last stage with like it was like they
Speaker 1: put you with a group to see the dynamic and
Speaker 1: I just hated everyone and they put me in a group. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I was like fuck this. Yeah, and I'm kind
Speaker 1: of glad that never happened.
Speaker 2: Well last you know, Steve Menzie's been a manly fan,
Speaker 2: the great Beaver Menzies. They once got him to do.
Speaker 2: He was in line to do Celebrity Survivor, right yeah,
Speaker 2: but then what he got down to the last cut. Now,
Speaker 2: Beaver was like, yeah, I'll do it. Yeah, yes, sweet,
Speaker 2: and they did. They did the psycho analysis of it. No, no, no,
Speaker 2: you can't do it. You're too good a bloke and
Speaker 2: you just coexist too well.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you enough controversy. That's funny thing about Steve.
Speaker 1: I met Steve ten years ago. A friend of mine
Speaker 1: won like a manly experience where Steve picks you up.
Speaker 1: You go down to the Brookie Ovals. There was a
Speaker 1: BT fifty ut on the hill and it was free piers,
Speaker 1: free food or whatever, and it was it just happened
Speaker 1: to be the day that we flogged power like fifty
Speaker 1: four nils and it was about forty five degrees up
Speaker 1: on that hill. But I remember he picked us up
Speaker 1: from my mate's house and he obviously forgotten in the
Speaker 1: morning that he had to do this, and he had
Speaker 1: his kids in the car with him, and you know,
Speaker 1: we're twenty three twenty four, just on the piss all day.
Speaker 1: I spewed up like four times on Brookie Hill. Anyway,
Speaker 1: Steve was like, okay, well he had to keep coming back,
Speaker 1: and you can tell he just definitely didn't want to
Speaker 1: come back. And then afterwards we were to go to
Speaker 1: many leagues and we'd been on the piece all day
Speaker 1: and the heat get down there into the where they
Speaker 1: sign in and people are asking for autographs and photos
Speaker 1: with Steve as it happens, and he went to sign
Speaker 1: me in and he just did his initials, and I
Speaker 1: fucking was like, well, everyone else is getting a fucking
Speaker 1: signature and here I am getting fucking initials. Had a
Speaker 1: bit of a scuffle with him, a scuffle with him
Speaker 1: in the middle of the leagues. He anyway, I fucking
Speaker 1: they kicked me out or whatever, and I left spewed
Speaker 1: up at the bust up on the way home. And
Speaker 1: then because he's obviously working in finance and stuff now,
Speaker 1: he used to get on the same bus as me.
Speaker 1: And I remember I was sitting on a bendy bus
Speaker 1: and there was one seat next to me, and he
Speaker 1: got on. He took one look and got off the bus.
Speaker 2: Did he.
Speaker 1: And then at the leaguesy gym, I used to go
Speaker 1: there all the time, same thing. He walked in and
Speaker 1: saw me sitting there on the bench press machine and
Speaker 1: turned around and walked out. Ten years later, right last year,
Speaker 1: manly invited me to the awards night.
Speaker 3: You didn't get a call up last year? No, no, no,
Speaker 3: I would have cleaned up.
Speaker 2: You would have cleaned up, right, Yeah, the best retired
Speaker 2: and give you the mop and bucket cleaned up.
Speaker 1: And I took Maddie with me because it was his
Speaker 1: bump chump my day. And I walked in and it's
Speaker 1: all these really nice tables Star Casino, and I was like, fuck,
Speaker 1: I hope they don't sit next to Steve Menzies and
Speaker 1: walked over and Bingo goes Steve's wife, Steve, me Maddie,
Speaker 1: and Maddie goes, I'll just sit in the middle of them,
Speaker 1: buffyo and thankfully at the time, Steve didn't put it
Speaker 1: together what was going on ten years later and where
Speaker 1: I'm sort of like not overly chummy, like I'm sort
Speaker 1: of like chatting or whatever, like I thought it was
Speaker 1: all funny, and then Maddie was like, oh, just I'll
Speaker 1: protect you from this. And then Maddie goes, Maddie get
Speaker 1: leans over Stephen goes, do you recognize this bloke and
Speaker 1: points at me and I went, oh, fucking here we go,
Speaker 1: and She's like no kind of her. I said, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: you picked me and a couple of mates up with
Speaker 1: your kids to go to the footy ones and you
Speaker 1: just went this fucking guy. His wife was like, what's
Speaker 1: going on? And we told the story and he was
Speaker 1: just like fucking oh you're a past like just full
Speaker 1: still did he was it water under the bridge? Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: were sweet by the end of it.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Eventually I moved overseas and I was chatting with him.
Speaker 1: It was just like a full circle moment to close
Speaker 1: the gap.
Speaker 3: To be on you must have done something bad to
Speaker 3: be on beaver side, because you live Beaver doesn't have
Speaker 3: beef with anyone.
Speaker 1: I think it was just sick of me. His head. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so like it was. It was a classic, so hot
Speaker 1: up there on that hill. It was early doors in
Speaker 1: the season, so it was still kind of summer weather,
Speaker 1: and we gave him a flogging and I was just
Speaker 1: sinking tin. It's pretty hard.
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh mae.
Speaker 1: It's easy to It's easy to get caught up on.
Speaker 2: Games. I actually played Beaver when he's first of the
Speaker 2: first great game, five hundred game, because he played a
Speaker 2: mile of games in England in the Super League as well.
Speaker 2: But one of his first ever games, well, Newcastle versus
Speaker 2: Manly in ninety two or ninety three and we're sort
Speaker 2: of both really young guys. I remember Beav, I didn't
Speaker 2: even know who he was, and he got the ball
Speaker 2: and first time does that double jump and then banging.
Speaker 2: I'm going, fuck, this guy is good. And about the
Speaker 2: third handle he sort of got half through and how
Speaker 2: one of our defenders got caught up and Beaf did
Speaker 2: his knee, did his a cl carried off. But the
Speaker 2: thing about that a cl Do you remember Nick Koseph
Speaker 2: years ago?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Nick, Nick was a great play Him and Beaver were
Speaker 2: best mates. Nick. That day, Beaver was wearing Knick's book
Speaker 2: Boots the week before Nick did his knees in those
Speaker 2: boots and then Beaver of the Week out. Yet they
Speaker 2: threw the boots out.
Speaker 1: They burnt the boots.
Speaker 2: No, wow, the boots no longer.
Speaker 1: I remember when we had years of like a lot
Speaker 1: of a cls and they were blaming the blades. Remember
Speaker 1: the blades, Yeah, yeah, were they were blades were they
Speaker 1: might have been too there.
Speaker 2: Is you know actually, I mean I'm going to have
Speaker 2: bore people with it here. So it's never happen anyway.
Speaker 2: But a lot of times it's the boots. The boots
Speaker 2: man a lot of the modern boots that the grip
Speaker 2: is too heavy on the bottom and you see guys
Speaker 2: doing soft tichu injuries, a c ls, all that stuff.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I did both my ankles at the same time.
Speaker 1: We're playing soccer and the studs got stuck on a
Speaker 1: slide tackle, just both. And sometimes it's the it's the
Speaker 1: turf with the boots.
Speaker 3: Sometimes, you know, if it's it's a turf, there's got
Speaker 3: a lot of gift, Like you got to adjust the
Speaker 3: boots off.
Speaker 2: Wearing a lot of the old traditional starts.
Speaker 1: It's a single yeah, yep, just on Maddie.
Speaker 2: So he was on The Bachelor.
Speaker 1: Started on The Bachelor atte he got runner up, he
Speaker 1: cried a lot, was yah. It's always works well for
Speaker 1: the camera, oh man, every like the last couple of years.
Speaker 1: On his birthday, sent them a picture of him crying.
Speaker 2: When you go on those shows, you've gotta have a checklist.
Speaker 2: Number one is heartbreak, number two, sensitivity number three. You
Speaker 2: just lost his loved one.
Speaker 1: That's always sub story is always going to win big.
Speaker 2: Here's big ratings, big revenue.
Speaker 3: Like a stray back in the day that was the Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: come on this songs for my you know, my siblings.
Speaker 2: This is my third cousin's favorite song.
Speaker 3: With that story, I'm a skeptic. I wonder how many
Speaker 3: of those stories.
Speaker 1: Like, probably none of them. A true No, this is
Speaker 1: what happens, right. A producer gets hold of that story
Speaker 1: and then they'll poke the bear a little bit. I
Speaker 1: mean once that document the Jerry Springer documentary, Yes, like
Speaker 1: that where they'll be like they'll wind you up in
Speaker 1: the room.
Speaker 2: Yeah, with Jerry Springer, you know the people who get
Speaker 2: out there and just being a frenzy, you'll fight. They
Speaker 2: would take the person away and say, now this bloke,
Speaker 2: do you know what this bloke has been doing your wife,
Speaker 2: and are you going to stand for that? Because people
Speaker 2: like that, you know, people think you're a walkover and
Speaker 2: people they just build a market and put on.
Speaker 1: And then they would say, if you don't get out
Speaker 1: there and perform, then you don't get a flight home.
Speaker 1: And these people all poor and ship. But similar for
Speaker 1: that would be they would grab hold of story and
Speaker 1: just pull a piece of string and then I would
Speaker 1: know what to say to just get a little bit
Speaker 1: more emotion out of here. Yeah, but they every time.
Speaker 1: It could be you could be the shittest singer on
Speaker 1: Austrain and I would be like, my dad died, and
Speaker 1: they'd be like the finals, You're going through the finals,
Speaker 1: golden golden buzzer.
Speaker 2: Touchdown. But like with with Maddie, how long how long
Speaker 2: after did he get married? And was he did he
Speaker 2: marry someone connected to any of these shows or anything?
Speaker 1: So he he is still with Laura that he ended
Speaker 1: the show with. They got married officially got married like
Speaker 1: two or three years ago.
Speaker 2: To be rare, wouldn't.
Speaker 1: Yeah, after having kids, there's a couple. There's him, Tim Robard,
Speaker 1: Sam Woods, Like there's a couple, Like but you can
Speaker 1: see the sort of guy they are there, more more mature,
Speaker 1: not fucking gas bagger. Yeah over here, Yeah, he'd be
Speaker 1: actually good Loam Island. You get voted out immediately. I
Speaker 1: don't think you've got the rig for it.
Speaker 2: I don't bland.
Speaker 3: Well, I reckon, I'd I reckon, I'd win it.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't.
Speaker 3: The thing is, I wouldn't shock up with anyone. I'd
Speaker 3: go in there and I just I just be me,
Speaker 3: And I think i'd win one of the boys. I'd
Speaker 3: win it isolated. I'd be the first winner who ever
Speaker 3: wins without a partner on that.
Speaker 1: Well, we really love coopridg just on his own in
Speaker 1: that way. He's not annoying anyone all the time.
Speaker 2: I reckon. But this is the danger with reality TV.
Speaker 2: You are you are subject subject to the editors.
Speaker 1: They just sit there, mate.
Speaker 2: It just they as much as your personality, they will
Speaker 2: form the personality in the edits.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you see you see the shockers that get
Speaker 1: bad at it, but you feel.
Speaker 2: Bad the cutaways. We're just getting technical there for a
Speaker 2: second about you know, but TV and everything. Guys.
Speaker 1: I'm going to talk a lot about.
Speaker 2: Two shots, three shots here and cutaways. It's going to
Speaker 2: go over your head. But let me just try to
Speaker 2: make it simple. So reality shows, you and Ash can
Speaker 2: be having a conversation and all of a sudden you
Speaker 2: say something and all of a sudden my reacit. They
Speaker 2: have my rection on the show going. But what it
Speaker 2: is throughout the night when they're having the dinner, they
Speaker 2: just have the cameras trained on everyone all the time,
Speaker 2: so they will take your expression that you did now
Speaker 2: earlier and apply it to that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's cool about it. That is because you don't
Speaker 1: have any control over that, and the contracts are so.
Speaker 3: Bad, like, yeah, they give you any power.
Speaker 1: There's no power, so like that's why it's like I
Speaker 1: wouldn't obviously I'm married Becauds, I wouldn't be on Love
Speaker 1: Island or anything.
Speaker 2: May just do it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, just limit absolutely. It's great for the podcast, it
Speaker 1: would be great for you.
Speaker 2: The audience love that I work in an erotic massage pilot, Trish,
Speaker 2: it's cool just bringing in the hands.
Speaker 1: I recognize you take your pants off and let me
Speaker 1: see if I recognize it's your baby hands. Yeah, it
Speaker 1: definitely made mine look big. I don't need to push
Speaker 1: the base down.
Speaker 3: Well, look another lift, lifting the lid on our personal
Speaker 3: house and growing up like I've caught this fella giving
Speaker 3: himself a Hillary multiple times, weird Al Yankovich, you're on
Speaker 3: the human mane.
Speaker 2: If you've got two of those and one of those
Speaker 2: is gonna happen.
Speaker 1: It's going to happen. Can you change hands without losing
Speaker 1: a stroke? No, I can't good with my.
Speaker 2: Left hand one day. Funny, I can pass through good
Speaker 2: with my left hand, kick my left foot for the
Speaker 2: other stuff.
Speaker 1: It's my right hand sometimes make a numb retreat. Isn't
Speaker 1: that funny? Though?
Speaker 3: Like the difference between a right and the left hand,
Speaker 3: it is a very like it is a master stroke.
Speaker 3: It is such a the right hand understands me like
Speaker 3: the left hand would never get me.
Speaker 1: I date, my right hand wouldn't even go on flags
Speaker 1: on that left hand.
Speaker 2: I give you a challenge, boys today, now wipe your
Speaker 2: ass with left hand.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, not just to us, all the listeners, all
Speaker 3: of our backstage.
Speaker 1: All of them. Let us know. I used to have
Speaker 1: a manager that used to say, like you used to
Speaker 1: wanting you to tomorrow start your day opposite, So do everything,
Speaker 1: brush your teeth opposite, wipe your ass off opposite try
Speaker 1: and take a piece, holding with the opposite hand, just
Speaker 1: anything the whole morning, and just be like, just to
Speaker 1: open your mind up a little bit. Harry granted that
Speaker 1: one day as well.
Speaker 3: Harry did that one day we just tried everything with
Speaker 3: the left because you wanted to get better.
Speaker 1: With such a good player.
Speaker 2: Now, now what I saw him going that in the
Speaker 2: origin other night. It was like he was kicking with
Speaker 2: his left foot.
Speaker 3: Hey, mate, you to the shower. Can one more Harry
Speaker 3: thing that you reminded me of? So you know how
Speaker 3: Dad was granting about boots before, and so Dad's been
Speaker 3: like this always right, anytime anyone gets hurt, he always
Speaker 3: goes made what boots you're wearing? And he always tries
Speaker 3: to bring it back to the boots because he's such
Speaker 3: a big believer in it, which I appreciate.
Speaker 1: Mate, you believe something, You've got to believe in something,
Speaker 1: and I feel like something. Bro. Yeah, once you've got
Speaker 1: something in your head and you're like, I know this
Speaker 1: is the problem, You've got to try and sell. Well,
Speaker 1: you might spot you might swallow your words after you
Speaker 1: hear this story.
Speaker 3: So Harry, Harry got hurt one time and Dad goes
Speaker 3: oh mate, I'll ring Harry about it.
Speaker 1: Mate. You know it's all right mate, Yeah, yadda YadA.
Speaker 1: What did you do? Yeah, yes, sweet mate. What boots
Speaker 1: were you wearing? What boots you're wearing?
Speaker 3: Anyway, The reason it's so stupid in this sense was
Speaker 3: Harry hurt his shoulder.
Speaker 1: And we had to go on the phone down there.
Speaker 3: Harry's going like listening to Dave Rand about the boots.
Speaker 3: The boots are like, you know, you got to get there,
Speaker 3: and then Harry's.
Speaker 1: Like, Maddie, I really I think it's a.
Speaker 3: Stretch in this sense thinking that because I hurt my
Speaker 3: shoulder in a tackle, I don't know if it's reflective
Speaker 3: of the boots.
Speaker 1: And he's going fair enough, you know, probably you're probably right.
Speaker 1: You're not a tripped boots was the guy he tackled
Speaker 1: wearing could be a jinked a jinked right and boom.
Speaker 2: Story is similar to that. I'm talking about boots and whatnot.
Speaker 2: A very good friend of mine, fellow called Craig Johnston, right,
Speaker 2: Newcastle boy played for Liverpool one of the European Championship,
Speaker 2: invented the predator boot and he was saying when he
Speaker 2: first invented the Predator boot like it was a lot
Speaker 2: of controversy. Is this book going to work? And he
Speaker 2: the first person to wear the boot was Manchester, not
Speaker 2: a play called Paul ince John. I was so nervous
Speaker 2: on this game. Is the boot gonna work? Is going
Speaker 2: to stand up? He went to a shopping center and
Speaker 2: he was walking around. Somebody come up and goes, Craig Man,
Speaker 2: you one nil And he goes, oh, where who scored?
Speaker 1: And they went.
Speaker 2: Paul int Ship went, you're fucking kidding me and ran
Speaker 2: ring his mate and city scored. He said, yeah with
Speaker 2: a header.
Speaker 1: Your two kids and all of those brilliant boy and
Speaker 1: a girl. Yeah. Oscar is turned six in two weeks.
Speaker 1: Mays three and a half.
Speaker 3: Oh well, I wanted to ask her right, because Dad
Speaker 3: seems to think Dad has his own opinion on this.
Speaker 3: Do kids make your marriage, like your relationship with your
Speaker 3: partner better or worse?
Speaker 1: It's a mixture, I think, only worse. There's times where
Speaker 1: it's your roommates, like, for example, like you're you're a
Speaker 1: long way out of nappy, Well you still changing the nap.
Speaker 2: You're talking about ten years I'm back in.
Speaker 1: It's you sort of go through the phase where you're
Speaker 1: in the trenches. For sure, Like now for April and I,
Speaker 1: the kids are pretty self sufficient, the you know, the
Speaker 1: entertain themselves. Then not as stressful. There's always different problems,
Speaker 1: but it for sure can make your marriage a bit
Speaker 1: of a task. And then I suppose like the people
Speaker 1: who who stay together work on it, right, So the
Speaker 1: ones that the ones that get too fucking like this
Speaker 1: is too are they usually yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: It's a it's a handful, like yeah, quite seriously. When
Speaker 2: the boys were born, particularly when Jack was born, first child,
Speaker 2: I was terrified. I was terrified. I'm in the hospital drunk,
Speaker 2: repeats Pepperoni handed back. Now we get home from the
Speaker 2: hospital and it's just me, Trish, new baby. You're going
Speaker 2: right okay, middle of the night like Jack hasn't been crying,
Speaker 2: is okay? And listening to your breathing, yes, all those,
Speaker 2: all of those things. The whole world.
Speaker 3: Revolves around one thing, right, Terrified for twenty five years,
Speaker 3: I don't know. When you have Jack for twenty five years,
Speaker 3: you've only worried about basically yourself and your partner, and
Speaker 3: you get a whole nother life. One of the best,
Speaker 3: the best piece of vice. I over got a year
Speaker 3: three math teacher.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what she told me?
Speaker 3: So she she said, Cooper, you need to stop breaking
Speaker 3: into my house and threatening to hurt yourself unless I
Speaker 3: go out with you know, she did say that. She said,
Speaker 3: as you as you progress through life, your why changes. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and I can imagine that having having you know, Jack,
Speaker 3: your first boy, your wife has been so different for
Speaker 3: so long, and then everything your why for everything you.
Speaker 1: Do in life goes to your horse why changes unless
Speaker 1: you're a crackhead I wish I am. Yeah, like you're saying,
Speaker 1: it's so daunting, you leave the hospital, drive forty ks
Speaker 1: an hour to get home because you're like, fuck, I
Speaker 1: don't want to hurt this thing. Yeah, and then you
Speaker 1: get home you're like, all of a sudden, you've forgotten
Speaker 1: everything that you learn when you're in the hospital. And
Speaker 1: I think like a big message we tell our listeners
Speaker 1: is like go easing yourself. It's like it's like starting
Speaker 1: a new job, right. No one expects you to be
Speaker 1: the best of that job on the first day, and
Speaker 1: especially for like new arms. They usually you know, there's
Speaker 1: so much judgment. They put so much pressure on themselves
Speaker 1: that when you get to like, you know, when they
Speaker 1: finally get out of the trenches, it's like the scarred
Speaker 1: from that moment. But like just we always say, like,
Speaker 1: just go easier yourself. It's fucking tough, you.
Speaker 2: Know, you don't really help triciaan and I was. We
Speaker 2: had two border Collie dogs and they had nine pups.
Speaker 2: Had nine pups Border Collie pups, and two of the
Speaker 2: two of the pups were Honestly, when they were born,
Speaker 2: we thought they were still born, but they were alive,
Speaker 2: and we had to nurse them and feed them and
Speaker 2: that happened. And I'll be honest when you and then
Speaker 2: like the care we had to give those dogs compared
Speaker 2: to really Jack, the dogs were a lot more hard work.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the kids are resilient, man.
Speaker 2: Like.
Speaker 1: I remember Macy's first Christmas, she was only two months
Speaker 1: old or something like that, and Oscar's opening presents and
Speaker 1: Macy's on the couch and then we're sort of concentrating
Speaker 1: on Oscar and then all of a sudden, you hear
Speaker 1: this bang. She's Macey's rolled off the fucking ouch. Hadn't
Speaker 1: him made president? Opening he is starting, You're like, oh fuck.
Speaker 1: And the first time you drop a kid, You're like, shit,
Speaker 1: is he gonna be a fine? Bounce up? They bounced
Speaker 1: back up.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 1: Well they're built, aren't they. They're built for that. They're
Speaker 1: built for a bit of They're built for dropping, are
Speaker 1: they they built? Well? The Barnes early on quite a
Speaker 1: lasting Well look at me drop heaps and I turned
Speaker 1: out right, sure you just you nearly didn't get that
Speaker 1: sentence out where am I?
Speaker 2: Hey?
Speaker 1: Oh, Jack wants to say something. Now Jack, go five seconds.
Speaker 4: Jack actually would have heard I saw you noticed a
Speaker 4: couple of minutes ago Matthew's watch went off and you
Speaker 4: sort of had a little look like what that noise was.
Speaker 1: It's sort of known amongst the audience.
Speaker 4: Now Matthew has this new like added ass watch, this
Speaker 4: one hundred dollars watch for him, and he he doesn't
Speaker 4: know how to change that beep. He doesn't he hasn't
Speaker 4: figured it out. So all of this on the hour,
Speaker 4: every hour, all day long, on his shows on Fox,
Speaker 4: on all his radio programs, you can hear it. So
Speaker 4: if you if you're listening to him in the future,
Speaker 4: you'll know exactly how that sounds.
Speaker 1: We're very we're very similar that I've got a I've
Speaker 1: got a Cassio calculator watch at home and I've had
Speaker 1: it for four years and I don't know how to
Speaker 1: turn the alarm off. And it goes off at eight
Speaker 1: pm every night, still goes off. I don't wait in
Speaker 1: a Nicknack draws, you have to go turn it off
Speaker 1: every night?
Speaker 2: No, I just let it go. This one goes off
Speaker 2: seven am every morning, twenty beeps.
Speaker 1: Do you not know how to turn it off?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 1: Me either. No, I've just given up on it. This
Speaker 1: is still on daylight saving and four minutes. Yeah, I've watch.
Speaker 1: That's still on daylight. My watch doesn't even work. It
Speaker 1: doesn't even move, It just sits there like that. Hey
Speaker 1: is that g shot?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Very cool one.
Speaker 3: Another habit of Dad's that the audience enjoys, which I
Speaker 3: just let him go. Now, when you talk, you can
Speaker 3: probably hear it in the headphones. He heavy breeze straight
Speaker 3: in them.
Speaker 2: I like it.
Speaker 1: It doesn't make you feel it gives me goose bumps.
Speaker 2: Can help?
Speaker 1: What are you complaining about? Over here? Made you put
Speaker 1: a roof over your head? You've come back, You've come
Speaker 1: back to in your twenties. My mum would never allow that.
Speaker 1: We weren't even allowed to take our beds when we
Speaker 1: moved out. She's like, get your own fucking beds. What
Speaker 1: am I going to have a bedroom without a bed
Speaker 1: in it? Well, listen, I don't know.
Speaker 3: I didn't want to air this out to the people
Speaker 3: and stuff, but like I had to cut me and
Speaker 3: Jack had to come back home because Dad needs help changing.
Speaker 2: He's quite like, he's quite old and fragile. Also this,
Speaker 2: I'm not joking here. If something ever happened to Trish,
Speaker 2: at first, I'd be like joyous, and then after that
Speaker 2: I'd go I'd go, oh no, because I don't know
Speaker 2: a computer, never sent an email any of that stuff.
Speaker 2: And you find yourself. There's a couple of times where
Speaker 2: Trisha has threatened me the last couple of years out
Speaker 2: you know, you're a pig, get out, And I remember
Speaker 2: thinking to myself, I have to sort of crawl back
Speaker 2: to it because I'm thinking, oh no, you know, I
Speaker 2: don't know how to hook at TV up, to get
Speaker 2: the fox tell in all that sort of stuff.
Speaker 1: Just just make good. You wouldn't need to threaten you
Speaker 1: to leave. She's just threatened to stop doing your admin.
Speaker 1: That's scary enough.
Speaker 2: Well, I have an inability to type, and so we
Speaker 2: had inability yeah at the time, and.
Speaker 1: So what I was, that's exactly how you do it.
Speaker 3: You know that.
Speaker 2: That was me playing the vienna. And so when I
Speaker 2: used to send an article once a week into News
Speaker 2: Limited Daily Telegraph, when I sed to do my article,
Speaker 2: I used to have to firstly fax it in. There
Speaker 2: was a big joke in there, hang on, hit the
Speaker 2: basic I made the articles coming through and then they
Speaker 2: were like, mate, no more facts, man, Okay, okay, no problem.
Speaker 2: And so Trish is type it in. But then Meatrice
Speaker 2: had an argument, I'm not going to type your article,
Speaker 2: but I've learned the old talking to the phone, and
Speaker 2: she was shattered.
Speaker 1: You started hand delivering it. We're slow living teaching dad
Speaker 1: like life skills so that if he wants to leave
Speaker 1: the marriage he can because right now he's kind of
Speaker 1: trapped in it.
Speaker 2: I am.
Speaker 1: I do feel like he couldn't he couldn't leave.
Speaker 3: It could be worse man, Yeah, slowly, but trist did everything.
Speaker 3: Trist did everything like in terms of she taught me
Speaker 3: in Jack to drive like she was the one that
Speaker 3: taught us the life skills and Dad kind of just
Speaker 3: was pre isn't I guess, but that wasn't there, Like
Speaker 3: he never took us when we're on our l's. I
Speaker 3: was on the billboard on the only piece of advice
Speaker 3: Dad ever gave for driving.
Speaker 1: Because that's not a great driver, he said to Jack.
Speaker 1: And Jack will confirm this.
Speaker 3: He goes, Mate, now you know you're on your l's,
Speaker 3: are in.
Speaker 1: Charge of a you know, a car.
Speaker 3: It's a bloody big responsibility, mate, And he goes, I
Speaker 3: just wanted to let you know that you are now driving.
Speaker 1: A death machine. And Jack's like right, and he goes, you.
Speaker 3: Know you need to you will st on top of this,
Speaker 3: but if you don't know it yourself, you might kill
Speaker 3: someone else.
Speaker 1: So you need to really zone it. And Jack was like,
Speaker 1: I don't. This is day one of my l's.
Speaker 3: I don't need this kind of pressure.
Speaker 2: Well, you know, Jack, we'll talk about Trish doing things.
Speaker 2: Trish is always mog the lawn and when Jack was
Speaker 2: the young flow, I remember Jack came out when he was
Speaker 2: in Trish. We still talk about this.
Speaker 1: Trish walked.
Speaker 2: Jack walked out at the back of the house in
Speaker 2: Newcastle and saw me mowing for the first time and
Speaker 2: just started crying.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was like who is that going to that's
Speaker 1: gonna hurt himself? Is he trained for that?
Speaker 4: Just on that, just on that death machine comment? Maybe
Speaker 4: if he maybe, if he told you that comment, you
Speaker 4: wouldn't have had that accident.
Speaker 3: National News wows most popular.
Speaker 1: And there was an accent the other day.
Speaker 2: Then here were coloring people tagging him.
Speaker 1: Did you say that people were hammering me work? Again?
Speaker 1: I was funny because I saw that, and then I
Speaker 1: spoke to you because you didn't go to Magic Ground,
Speaker 1: and I was like, fud enough a little bit mate.
Speaker 1: And then I'm at home and I flicked the TV
Speaker 1: on and to they show I think Sunrise or something,
Speaker 1: and there he is.
Speaker 2: Just the Morning Show with Larry, Larry and Kylie and
Speaker 2: he was just I love the intro and I go,
Speaker 2: they go Cooper John's cheated death and then they catch him.
Speaker 2: You were just laying in the like.
Speaker 1: Can I just say so when obviously Larry is a
Speaker 1: close personal friend. Shout out to Larry. Larry was my
Speaker 1: first ever guess on Dad terrific bloke in his house
Speaker 1: to record, he put a charcuterie board out. He loves
Speaker 1: the charcuterie.
Speaker 3: We often we often French kiss no but they when
Speaker 3: they said, oh mate, because they were key, I've done
Speaker 3: it once before. And then they were keen to get
Speaker 3: me back on, and I had just threw a postponed it.
Speaker 3: And then when the car accident happened, obviously a couple
Speaker 3: of weeks later, Oh mate, can you get you on?
Speaker 3: And I said, because I obviously like I take the
Speaker 3: piece out of myself quite a bit, like it was
Speaker 3: a serious thing. I didn't want to take the piece
Speaker 3: out of a car accident, but I always bring it
Speaker 3: back to humor because that's what I feel comfortable. We
Speaker 3: cope with it, yes, correct, But and I was like, oh,
Speaker 3: I said, we're not going to be like this isn't
Speaker 3: going to be like some sub story about me and there,
Speaker 3: and the producer goes, na, Na, We're keen to talk
Speaker 3: to you about, you know, just what's going on in
Speaker 3: the podcast. Were loving the potty and the radio and
Speaker 3: som happy to come on. Literally, I'm sitting in the
Speaker 3: chair and he goes this long intro he did Cooper
Speaker 3: John's comes on to talk about being unconscious and confused,
Speaker 3: and I was like, oh, ship, and I've just come
Speaker 3: on and I'm dressed in like a white shirt and
Speaker 3: a hat and I'm just like leaning into my chair,
Speaker 3: looked like the Beau idiot.
Speaker 1: Oh that's good, Yeah, yeah they did. They got me.
Speaker 1: I felt like I was on a current affair that
Speaker 1: come around the corner with the do you know how
Speaker 1: to drive? Sir? Do you know that's a death trap?
Speaker 2: Guys a dodger when they were they actually walking all
Speaker 2: of a sudden on those shows, they slow them into
Speaker 2: slow maw and they go to black and white.
Speaker 1: He owns people, heaps of money.
Speaker 2: You got the dodgy vill that. Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, was this an insurance job?
Speaker 2: Smith? I talked about that pool.
Speaker 3: Your social media I wanted to ask you about it.
Speaker 3: How did you build that up? Because you got to
Speaker 3: you got a large probably you got about across Instagram
Speaker 3: and TikTok.
Speaker 1: I got about a million followers on there. Is that?
Speaker 1: Is that just something that happened like randomly overnight or
Speaker 1: is it? Look no, I wish it was overnight. I
Speaker 1: started making silly video during COVID and I didn't want
Speaker 1: to make slapstick comedy videos. I wanted to kind of
Speaker 1: capture the small interaction you have with your significant other,
Speaker 1: which and just and I originally started to see to
Speaker 1: do it, to see if other people doing the same thing,
Speaker 1: and it just so happens that they are the same thing.
Speaker 1: So I think I posted my first video at two
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty followers, oh wow. And then I posted
Speaker 1: ten videos a day for two years straight, ten ten
Speaker 1: plus maybe maybe more. I reckon, I've got a folder
Speaker 1: of ten thousand videos. Wow, I've created? Yeah, which one?
Speaker 1: Which one was?
Speaker 2: It was the one that really sort of.
Speaker 1: There was two. There was one originally, which was the
Speaker 1: phone call you make the phone call you make home
Speaker 1: when you finish work, and it's just like a nothing
Speaker 1: phone call. So like, for example, I lead work, I'd
Speaker 1: ring my wife my on way home, okay, okay bye.
Speaker 1: That's the people like, fucking we do that. Yeah. But
Speaker 1: then I had different interpretations of what that means to people. One,
Speaker 1: it's a warning on the way home, so you ma
Speaker 1: about it, get the blokeout, yeah yeah, yeah yeah, And
Speaker 1: there was all these different and so that one sort
Speaker 1: of took off. I was like, all right, cool, so
Speaker 1: people are doing the same shit. And then there was
Speaker 1: the one where I just if I'm like sitting at
Speaker 1: the on the couch with my wife and I just
Speaker 1: get up unannounced and she's like, where are you going?
Speaker 1: So people and that was the conversation, and then people
Speaker 1: started to stitch it and try it, and they were
Speaker 1: getting up and then you'd hear their wife in the
Speaker 1: back and go where were going? Yeah, they want to
Speaker 1: know where we're going.
Speaker 2: So true, It is so true.
Speaker 3: It is the relatable comedy you do. You're very clever
Speaker 3: with it. We were, especially the one. I always liked
Speaker 3: that you kind of you bring it back to it
Speaker 3: a lot of the time when you're asking your partner
Speaker 3: what they want for dinner.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I got a good on my story the
Speaker 1: other day. Yeah, my wife is a walking piece of content.
Speaker 1: She's so predictable. I've been I've been observing her for
Speaker 1: like fifteen years now, so I'm pretty it's like a
Speaker 1: zooming closure. Totally yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, And I know
Speaker 1: what the next movie is.
Speaker 2: I totally don't you?
Speaker 1: And I bade her all the time, where with this one.
Speaker 1: The other day, I a video about the face she
Speaker 1: makes when I suggest food she doesn't like, and it's
Speaker 1: just like a you know, yeah, it's like she's insulted.
Speaker 1: It's like when you sneeze around a dog and They're
Speaker 1: like same thing, like you've insulted their whole family. And
Speaker 1: I was like, before I put this on my story,
Speaker 1: I might just do a lead up story to it.
Speaker 1: And I was like sitting at my desk and I
Speaker 1: was like, hey, babe. She was like yeah, I'm like,
Speaker 1: what do you want for Finnish and classic? She was
Speaker 1: like I don't know, what do you feel like? And
Speaker 1: I was like yeah, and I just laughed and I
Speaker 1: was like, it's just so predictive.
Speaker 3: Is there anyone that surprised you that, like, because we've
Speaker 3: been out, you know, at the local having beers and
Speaker 3: people come up and go love your content, love your videos.
Speaker 3: Is there anybody that like when you were rising and
Speaker 3: you were like this person's like my video, this person's
Speaker 3: DM me?
Speaker 1: Like that really was Yeah. I had a big one
Speaker 1: you remember from The Big Bang Theory Penny every every
Speaker 1: teenage boys crush. Yeah yeah yeah, so she DM me
Speaker 1: no way and then started following me. She was just
Speaker 1: like I think you're hilarious and post meal story, it
Speaker 1: was fucking amazing, and I was like I didn't have
Speaker 1: the balls, like everyone has a crush on you. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: but my hall pass, Yeah totally this is amazing.
Speaker 3: Dad can't understand the concept of the hall pass because
Speaker 3: like her and you know, him and Mum, they decided to.
Speaker 1: Get one clooney.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then Dad just goes like our next door neighbor.
Speaker 2: She's not exactly a neighbor, just over the way, a
Speaker 2: little bit too close.
Speaker 1: It is too That's not how the concept works. It's
Speaker 1: not people. You just want to have sex within your neighbors,
Speaker 1: like I've got a bunch of them. The next night
Speaker 1: she comes over for dinner, you should have come around.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Do you know, like you sit it before about
Speaker 2: your predictability and you know each other so well. The
Speaker 2: boys will verify this. Trish is a chitter chatter and
Speaker 2: it's taken me, it's taken the thirty years of our
Speaker 2: marriage to actually understand that. When she sits in front
Speaker 2: of the TV and she just talks, she's talk looking
Speaker 2: just out of the ether, that she's not up. It's
Speaker 2: all rhetorical to get it out. She's going, oh my god,
Speaker 2: what is going on there?
Speaker 1: And I used to go, oh, pause.
Speaker 2: Oh you know, play oh wow? She for real? Yeah yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: but I've realized now I don't even turn she Tristan
Speaker 2: us talks and I just un list you're watching and
Speaker 2: and I've worked at She doesn't expect she would have
Speaker 2: been that kid, that annoying kid in the family who
Speaker 2: sat in front of the TV and just spoke all
Speaker 2: the way through the shows chat.
Speaker 1: And like she just wants to get it out there,
Speaker 1: and like, yeah, I mean it's funny, like just some
Speaker 1: of the things that you sort of pick up on
Speaker 1: when you've been married for so long, Like there's just
Speaker 1: so many little bits and bobs that so for example,
Speaker 1: like if there, if we're anywhere else, here we go.
Speaker 1: Here's one. We're organizing Oscar's birthday at Now I can
Speaker 1: hear dad, Oh.
Speaker 3: Dad, you got to stop breathing, mate, It is that loud?
Speaker 1: Happened? I concentrating.
Speaker 2: Just get the fucking.
Speaker 1: Taken as a compliment.
Speaker 2: It started so light and did you hear that?
Speaker 3: Then it was people if they had AirPods in they
Speaker 3: would have dead set round is then going over?
Speaker 1: Okay, gentlemen, let's continue. Yeah, We're we're organizing Oscar's birthday
Speaker 1: at time Zone just because it's easy. And we were
Speaker 1: in there the other day and my wife's like asking
Speaker 1: me all these questions about the place and I'm like,
Speaker 1: you know, I don't work here, right, And she's like, oh,
Speaker 1: I thought you would just know because she just thinks
Speaker 1: I know everything about everywhere. Or if we're like she's like, oh,
Speaker 1: I've got to go to the chemistry. Know what time
Speaker 1: they shut? I'm like they shut a normal chemist time.
Speaker 1: Google it. Yeah, do you know if they've got these
Speaker 1: I don't work there, and I just know.
Speaker 3: It's that's like you don't your kid's going to be
Speaker 3: the exact same, because when you're young, you know, when
Speaker 3: you think your dad is just like you look up
Speaker 3: in your parents. You think they just know everything, they
Speaker 3: know the way the world works. They're your hero. And
Speaker 3: then you get to like seventeen eighteen and you see
Speaker 3: them like playing with themselves and ship and you're like.
Speaker 1: This bloke is just a legend. I've set the expectation
Speaker 1: really early. So o school asked me questions and it's like,
Speaker 1: your dad's an idiot. He doesn't know. Yeah, I do
Speaker 1: not know. This, don't start.
Speaker 3: That's a great message for the kids. Low expectations, don't set.
Speaker 2: The bar too high. I don't reckon the key to
Speaker 2: a marriage. And this is this is hand on my heart,
Speaker 2: and I've said this to mate to a good marriage.
Speaker 2: Right decade of you, I said, one of the key
Speaker 2: things is ignore the hypocrisies and don't keep at school
Speaker 2: board because there's hypocrisies all the times, no doubt. Like
Speaker 2: my dad used to say, say the sun to me, son,
Speaker 2: they all get all the women they get it. They
Speaker 2: must get a book when they're fourteen, and they read it,
Speaker 2: he said, because it's everyone. It's universal top And like
Speaker 2: even just before ashwhen we're here this morning, Trisha was like,
Speaker 2: what are you up to? And I said, I don't know.
Speaker 2: My bumck Coop and me and Coople talking about going
Speaker 2: down and get some breakfast. He has, oh that's nice. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so then you coep go down there. Literally as soon
Speaker 2: as we sit down. Yeah, Tris sends me a text, Now,
Speaker 2: how long are you going to be because I booked
Speaker 2: you a doctor's appointment?
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it was it was from when our food
Speaker 3: come out. It was half an hour aweight and the
Speaker 3: drive was twenty minutes to get there.
Speaker 1: And said, my breakfast. I've just set down for breakfast.
Speaker 2: She goes, oh, well, sorry for caring about your health,
Speaker 2: and I said, but you knew you know I'm here.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And anyway, that was annoying.
Speaker 2: And I get in the house and she goes, well,
Speaker 2: you don't care for she, don't care for yourself, and
Speaker 2: you don't care for anyone else, And I said, sheesus,
Speaker 2: fuck it right, that's steady on a little bit.
Speaker 1: It's funny to say that, Like, my wife always does
Speaker 1: this thing where we go if i'm if I'm going
Speaker 1: out with the boys, just the last thing she'll say
Speaker 1: or whatever is that don't be too late. And you're like, oh, thanks,
Speaker 1: buzz kill Absolutely, buzz kills is a terrible last one.
Speaker 1: Now what time do you think you'll be home? Yeah,
Speaker 1: tell me what the work? That's what she goes, what
Speaker 1: are you doing this afternoon? I said, I'm going to
Speaker 1: do this podcast and then I've got the manly game tonight.

Speaker 3: of Origin magic round for a rugby league fan. It
Speaker 3: is just it is the it's the great It's the
Speaker 3: greatest day when you're in it, and the next four
Speaker 3: days following it it's the worst time.
Speaker 1: You're like, I only did I did a long weekend
Speaker 1: in Vegas this year because I didn't know I was
Speaker 1: going until the day before. I messaged you and I said,
Speaker 1: you're still going? And then I said to my wife,

Speaker 2: so good. They do a better job now NFL guys.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're both. Yeah. I sort of met Veach's first
Speaker 1: year in Vegas. Actually remember running into you the first
Speaker 1: year in Vegas. I think you were three or four
Speaker 1: days in and you're you were carrying if you were
Speaker 1: carrying about three or four suits with you, like you've
Speaker 1: had fresh from the dry clean You've come. You popped
Speaker 1: out behind a pot plant somehow, and I took a
Speaker 1: look at you lived and because it was so it
Speaker 1: was so windy first year, was you look like you've
Speaker 1: been fucking sucking on the end of a bit of lipstick.
Speaker 1: It was, And I was just.
Speaker 3: Like, oh fuck, yeah, Dad was a mess that first
Speaker 3: Vegas trip, first first night.
Speaker 1: So that the second day we were there, We're going.
Speaker 3: To do a podcast with Hello Sport Boys.
Speaker 1: Just second day there, how's Vegas going? Yahd YadA?
Speaker 3: Dad went out the night before with Buzz Rossfield with
Speaker 3: Fletcherheini and Buzz was there as well.
Speaker 1: Buzz was he Buzz was there?
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, and completely gone off the grid. I had
Speaker 3: to go to his hotel proof I was his son.
Speaker 3: They buzzed me up to his room, got him out,
Speaker 3: did the podcast, but at this stage, Dad's lips were
Speaker 3: so chafed. Every time he'd smile in the podcast, they'd
Speaker 3: crack and start bleeding.
Speaker 2: You look like that.
Speaker 1: He looked like the joker because you recorded out the
Speaker 1: back of that results because it was so it was
Speaker 1: like a wind tunnel through there. That whole trip was
Speaker 1: so bad. I'm trying to remember like I did it.
Speaker 1: I had to do a golf shoot with Braith, and
Speaker 1: I was I walked in from the club at like
Speaker 1: seven thirty in the morning with Matt, and Matt was
Speaker 1: asleep because he's soft, and then I was like, okay,
Speaker 1: go up and get dressed as a nine am shoot. Matt
Speaker 1: rings me, goes you're awake. I said, yeah, I'm still awake,
Speaker 1: and then I got fully dressed, and then all I
Speaker 1: remember is them having to try and knock the door
Speaker 1: down because I'd fallen asleep sitting up waiting to go
Speaker 1: to this shop, and Matt was like fucking hell, like
Speaker 1: dragged me out. I went to the top golf and
Speaker 1: there's Braith, fresh as a daisy, of course, like the
Speaker 1: guys hasn't sniffed alcohol the whole trip. And he took
Speaker 1: one look at me and was like, fucking the hell.
Speaker 3: Look at you you guys, would you from my interactions
Speaker 3: with both of you, you seem like polar opposites.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it works that way. He's like, yeah, like he'll
Speaker 1: have a nudge when it's time to have a narge.
Speaker 1: But he's like, just he's got a brain, that's the difference.
Speaker 1: He's just like very good. And I remember doing this
Speaker 1: shoot and they bring out a bucket of beers on
Speaker 1: his tacos and I was just like so sick, and
Speaker 1: Braith was like fucking hell, Like how are you going
Speaker 1: to get through this? I played a cover drive, that's right,
Speaker 1: instead of a golf top.
Speaker 2: But you know what, Ash and boys, I've worked out
Speaker 2: with Vegas. It's more than just the big nights. Vegas
Speaker 2: is draining because everything everywhere you look is it's for
Speaker 2: your dopamine. Oh yeah, it's purely hitting your dopamine. The gamble,
Speaker 2: the poker machines, the neon lights, the fast food, everything
Speaker 2: is about your dopamoon. So after three days you're just fucked.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, like we did. Three days is a good
Speaker 1: amount the time before, was it nine days something like
Speaker 1: that we did with Fox and it was like it
Speaker 1: was just too much. I remember at the airport on
Speaker 1: the way out and the lady was like, because it
Speaker 1: was so windy, so many flights we're getting canceled. They're like, oh,
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to fly out tomorrow. And I was like,
Speaker 1: I just was I'm not leaving this airport like fuck that.
Speaker 2: I don't think I've told him. I'll tell this one now,
Speaker 2: spend time, but.
Speaker 1: Because he.
Speaker 2: Sold the company now and hopefully you won't take offense.
Speaker 2: But that first trip we went to with there for
Speaker 2: ten days. At day nine, we are hanging by a
Speaker 2: thread and we're just going to get us.
Speaker 1: Out of here.
