No, it's still okay, 0:02:15.280 --> 0:02:17.640 go and watch the first And. 0:02:19.720 --> 0:02:22.400 Speaking of social media, the podcast are now on YouTube, 0:02:22.400 --> 0:02:24.359 so you can watch our beautiful, beautiful faces. While we're 0:02:24.400 --> 0:02:27.440 doing this. You can join the hundred of people around 0:02:27.440 --> 0:02:28.920 the country. 0:02:28.360 --> 0:02:31.239 It's exploding though it started with seven. 0:02:31.040 --> 0:02:34.400 Yeah, and including my mum and my dad two of those, 0:02:34.520 --> 0:02:36.600 so Lauren and Lisa shout out to you. 0:02:36.840 --> 0:02:39.079 Was Lisa, and I think I've figured out. 0:02:39.120 --> 0:02:40.840 You know, I'm always looking to make this podcast a 0:02:40.880 --> 0:02:43.080 little bit better, the a SEC a little bit better, 0:02:43.440 --> 0:02:45.720 and I've been looking for tips as to how to 0:02:45.720 --> 0:02:49.560 grow a YouTube audience. There is a new fastest growing 0:02:49.600 --> 0:02:53.200 YouTube channel on God's Green Earth right now, and it 0:02:53.280 --> 0:02:57.440 is from Cristiano Ronaldo. He has recorded the most successful 0:02:57.480 --> 0:03:00.680 YouTube channel launch ever after giving viewers the impression that 0:03:00.680 --> 0:03:02.760 he and Georgina Rodriguez had secretly been married. 0:03:02.760 --> 0:03:03.519 I don't think that's. 0:03:03.360 --> 0:03:05.960 Why people we were watching it like, I feel like 0:03:06.000 --> 0:03:08.160 this reporter was really looking through their own lens. But 0:03:08.240 --> 0:03:12.880 Cristiano Ronaldo started his own channel was it's called you 0:03:13.000 --> 0:03:17.040 are and the U looks like a stylized C for 0:03:17.160 --> 0:03:19.120 Cristiano Ronaldo. But for some reason it's to you. I 0:03:19.160 --> 0:03:23.080 don't know if it's a you know, Portuguese thing. You know, 0:03:23.240 --> 0:03:26.400 fastest reach one hundred thousand subscribers it only took fifty 0:03:26.400 --> 0:03:31.000 five minutes, and then the fastest to surpassed one million, 0:03:31.040 --> 0:03:34.120 which took ninety minutes. It is currently sitting at forty 0:03:34.200 --> 0:03:35.640 seven million subscribers. 0:03:36.280 --> 0:03:39.160 I would say that it's about past week from Ronaldo. 0:03:39.240 --> 0:03:41.000 Do you know why he's the most famous person on 0:03:41.040 --> 0:03:44.800 the planet just about I you know, in terms of sports. 0:03:45.160 --> 0:03:46.920 Yeah, he would be. I mean he is the most 0:03:46.960 --> 0:03:49.160 followed account on Instagram, I believe exactly. 0:03:49.240 --> 0:03:51.200 So it's a transfer, you just need to transfer across. 0:03:51.240 --> 0:03:53.760 Do better better than forty seven million? 0:03:53.920 --> 0:03:55.200 Do Betty pussy Well? 0:03:55.240 --> 0:03:59.160 I think a massive cap on that is that he 0:03:59.720 --> 0:04:02.640 does the whole thing in Portuguese, him and his wife, 0:04:02.800 --> 0:04:05.080 and then it's overdubbed, so they've got voice actors who 0:04:05.160 --> 0:04:06.840 were overdubbing over the top of it. 0:04:07.640 --> 0:04:11.440 The first video that I watched, it had fifty. 0:04:11.120 --> 0:04:15.120 Something million views, was them doing a like how well 0:04:15.160 --> 0:04:17.040 do you know each other? Where they write down questions 0:04:17.360 --> 0:04:19.080 and then they hold it up. They do not know 0:04:19.120 --> 0:04:22.520 each other very well. Christiano and his business. Does that 0:04:22.560 --> 0:04:22.880 shock you? 0:04:23.040 --> 0:04:24.880 No, it doesn't shock me at all, because I don't 0:04:24.920 --> 0:04:26.800 understand why he's doing it. Was he I mean, is 0:04:26.800 --> 0:04:30.400 he bored? He's playing in Saudi Arabia and any billions 0:04:30.440 --> 0:04:34.719 of billions and billions of dollars? M what's he doing? 0:04:34.800 --> 0:04:38.320 Is he bored? Is he's sitting in his compound and 0:04:38.480 --> 0:04:41.040 Saudi like going, ah, fuck on board, I'm going to 0:04:41.080 --> 0:04:42.039 start a YouTube channel. 0:04:42.760 --> 0:04:46.719 I suspect that his wife being in every one of 0:04:46.760 --> 0:04:48.480 these videos had a little bit to do with it. 0:04:48.760 --> 0:04:49.679 See, I reckon. 0:04:49.720 --> 0:04:52.360 He was like, look, my plate's full, I got you know, 0:04:52.440 --> 0:04:54.719 I got training. I'm still playing. Yeah, you know, I don't. 0:04:54.720 --> 0:04:56.200 Even though he's playing in a bit of a half 0:04:56.200 --> 0:05:00.159 ass league, you know, he's still a professional earth he 0:05:00.160 --> 0:05:02.920 still has to train. And I reckon. She would have 0:05:02.920 --> 0:05:05.400 been like, can we fire up a YouTube channel here. 0:05:06.120 --> 0:05:08.600 That's probably why it's not just called the Christiano Ronaldo 0:05:08.680 --> 0:05:11.680 YouTube channel. So anyway, how do we translate that to 0:05:11.720 --> 0:05:13.200 our own YouTube channel? 0:05:13.440 --> 0:05:13.920 Ah? 0:05:14.040 --> 0:05:15.839 Do we get Christiano Ronaldo's wife on? 0:05:16.080 --> 0:05:16.240 Yeah? 0:05:16.279 --> 0:05:16.640 I think so. 0:05:17.000 --> 0:05:18.560 Well Christiano himself. 0:05:18.279 --> 0:05:20.120 Yeah, I think that's probably the key is to maybe 0:05:20.200 --> 0:05:22.840 get Linel Missi to just join and jump on our side. 0:05:22.880 --> 0:05:26.880 He smashed Leno Missi's YouTube channel numbers. 0:05:26.600 --> 0:05:29.240 So Lenar Missi will be like, oh, dudey, we're gonna 0:05:29.240 --> 0:05:31.400 see him back, which you Geese guy's got me again? 0:05:31.880 --> 0:05:34.599 How do I get back at him? Yeah, join forces 0:05:34.720 --> 0:05:35.880 with the acc. 0:05:36.400 --> 0:05:39.200 We'll never see it coming. Ronaldo will never see it coming. 0:05:39.279 --> 0:05:41.000 No, I'm sure they've had meetings where our names have 0:05:41.080 --> 0:05:43.279 come up and said, look, I don't think they're a 0:05:43.279 --> 0:05:47.359 massive competitor to us. You wait, unless they managed to 0:05:47.400 --> 0:05:50.719 sign the greatest football player of all time then maybe. 0:05:50.920 --> 0:05:51.600 Yeah. 0:05:51.760 --> 0:05:53.720 So yeah, watch out for Christiana Ronaldo in the next 0:05:53.760 --> 0:05:55.240 couple of weeks. I've reached out to him. Have you 0:05:55.400 --> 0:05:58.320 send him a couple of dms in there? Yeah, but again, 0:05:58.400 --> 0:05:59.760 you know it'll take him ages to get through his 0:05:59.839 --> 0:06:02.039 d In his most followed account on Instagram. But I 0:06:02.040 --> 0:06:04.920 think eventually we'll get there. The greatest New Zealand. 0:06:05.080 --> 0:06:05.520 I've got an. 0:06:05.480 --> 0:06:08.839 Apology issue used today we went wanked on. I was 0:06:08.839 --> 0:06:11.000 gonna say wex lyrical, and then I stopped at wanked on. 0:06:11.240 --> 0:06:12.680 About Lisa and pedal. 0:06:12.720 --> 0:06:16.360 Lisa and Pedals. That wasn't the matchup yesterday. I had 0:06:16.360 --> 0:06:20.440 bad information. There's some bad actors that work here. It 0:06:20.600 --> 0:06:21.720 was Bruce McLaren was. 0:06:21.640 --> 0:06:22.440 The four Square guy. 0:06:22.480 --> 0:06:25.919 Oh, I've been a drubbing in favor of Bruce McLaren. 0:06:26.040 --> 0:06:27.520 Surely smashes Charlie. 0:06:27.720 --> 0:06:32.320 It was, But I would say it's very aspirational Bruce McLaren. 0:06:33.040 --> 0:06:36.120 I've never bought a McLaren, but I've bought a lot 0:06:36.120 --> 0:06:37.120 of stuff from four Square. 0:06:37.720 --> 0:06:40.200 What does that make Charlie a bit of in New Zealander? 0:06:40.320 --> 0:06:42.880 Is it just because you've got like he got more 0:06:42.880 --> 0:06:45.039 for me? Charlie's gouging you as well, By the way, 0:06:45.480 --> 0:06:48.080 for Squas are always more expensive than any other supermarket 0:06:48.120 --> 0:06:48.360 there is. 0:06:48.400 --> 0:06:51.120 McLaren's selling his cars for a million dollars. He's gouging 0:06:51.160 --> 0:06:51.479 you too. 0:06:51.720 --> 0:06:53.560 Ah, he's a pioneer. 0:06:54.480 --> 0:06:57.839 Yeah, but who's done more for me? Personally? I think 0:06:57.880 --> 0:07:00.920 four Square I'd argue, who's done more for the common man? 0:07:01.120 --> 0:07:02.440 I'd argue the four square. 0:07:02.200 --> 0:07:03.200 Guy, the common man. 0:07:03.760 --> 0:07:05.320 I've never seen a McLaren in Twysel. 0:07:06.279 --> 0:07:08.880 I'm pretty sure there is. I'm pretty sure one would 0:07:08.880 --> 0:07:11.160 have driven through. Have you seen it doing the bird 0:07:11.600 --> 0:07:14.640 to the four square? To the four square? Also in Techpo, 0:07:14.800 --> 0:07:18.160 which has the most prime real estate four square beautiful? 0:07:18.200 --> 0:07:19.520 Who did the town planning there? 0:07:20.120 --> 0:07:22.520 Where can you put something that's not overlooking the lake? 0:07:22.600 --> 0:07:24.280 You know, let's. 0:07:24.080 --> 0:07:28.160 Put it right in front of the lake, huge car park, Yeah, supermarket, 0:07:28.240 --> 0:07:29.160 perfect done. 0:07:29.440 --> 0:07:30.800 Yeah, it is a great four square though. 0:07:30.840 --> 0:07:33.360 Oh one of the old timers. I am back in 0:07:33.360 --> 0:07:35.440 a former life when I was a plaster around the 0:07:35.480 --> 0:07:37.800 South Canterbury region. We went out to a bloke who 0:07:37.840 --> 0:07:39.440 just it was an Auklander and he built a new 0:07:39.480 --> 0:07:43.160 little house there in Tikopos as all the houses are. 0:07:43.040 --> 0:07:43.800 Looking over the lake. 0:07:44.880 --> 0:07:46.920 Got us into a plastering job and he was telling us. 0:07:47.000 --> 0:07:48.680 We're like, oh, so you live in Auckland often you 0:07:48.720 --> 0:07:50.200 come down here. He goes, well, this is the thing. 0:07:50.280 --> 0:07:53.080 I didn't understand how airbnb worked. So I put it 0:07:53.160 --> 0:07:55.520 up for two years and it booked out every day, 0:07:55.640 --> 0:07:57.880 but every weekend between now and the end of that 0:07:57.920 --> 0:07:58.480 two years. 0:07:58.560 --> 0:08:00.840 So I've just built it memo. I can't come down. 0:08:02.120 --> 0:08:03.200 It's not a bad problem to have. 0:08:03.600 --> 0:08:06.920 I know, I booked it and I'm subletting it, and 0:08:06.920 --> 0:08:08.680 I made a lot of money of that, which is 0:08:08.720 --> 0:08:10.680 great because I wasn't making a lot as a plaster anyway. 0:08:10.800 --> 0:08:12.760 Today it is Lisa v. Pedals. 0:08:13.000 --> 0:08:14.760 If you want to know what we think about that, 0:08:15.080 --> 0:08:18.080 you can go back and listen to yesterday's podcast Controversial. 0:08:18.120 --> 0:08:21.160 Yesterday it was controversial. Where did you land on that? 0:08:22.600 --> 0:08:26.400 Pedals? More More, I do think audience is probably more 0:08:26.400 --> 0:08:28.200 badly than Lisa. 0:08:28.240 --> 0:08:29.640 You think we've got quite a pedly audience. 0:08:29.720 --> 0:08:34.679 Yeah, yeah, you know, cricket's our it's you know, origins, 0:08:34.880 --> 0:08:37.280 and I think the audience will we'll look at that 0:08:37.480 --> 0:08:40.680 and go, you know pedals.

But you can go and 0:09:02.440 --> 0:09:05.240 have your say genuinely today it is Lisa as Padus. 0:09:05.280 --> 0:09:07.480 So go and have your going have you say on 0:09:07.559 --> 0:09:10.560 your facebooks and your Instagrams. I should pull people behind 0:09:10.600 --> 0:09:12.640 the curtain this morning. We are up against the pump. 0:09:12.640 --> 0:09:15.280 We'll get a couple of a couple of video shoots 0:09:15.280 --> 0:09:17.520 to get away this morning, so you'll forgive us if 0:09:17.559 --> 0:09:20.760 it's a truncated episode of the Gender Podcast. But with 0:09:20.800 --> 0:09:22.640 that in mind, let's take a quick break, come back 0:09:22.679 --> 0:09:23.839 talk some extual school. 0:09:26.440 --> 0:09:26.600 Line. 0:09:26.600 --> 0:09:29.040 There's a bit of news on the Rugby league front. Yep. 0:09:29.160 --> 0:09:30.760 It's news that I think is going to pass a 0:09:30.800 --> 0:09:33.400 lot of our audience off, and that is that the 0:09:33.520 --> 0:09:36.120 NRL Graham Man is the hit of the for shiators. 0:09:36.559 --> 0:09:38.840 The NRAL has come out and said that the officials 0:09:38.880 --> 0:09:40.559 got the RTS call wrong. 0:09:41.400 --> 0:09:45.480 I do you know what I feel like the NRL 0:09:45.520 --> 0:09:49.320 officials are like Catholics because you can do whatever the 0:09:49.320 --> 0:09:51.439 fuck you want and you just turn up to church 0:09:51.640 --> 0:09:55.480 and go to confessional and repent and it's all sweet. Yeah, 0:09:55.520 --> 0:09:58.760 And there's no blowback. No, so they're just trying to 0:09:58.760 --> 0:10:00.679 go we sucked it up, sorr about that, Yeah, and 0:10:00.800 --> 0:10:04.439 it's just tumbleweed until the next week and it happens 0:10:04.440 --> 0:10:08.160 again tumble and it's like, what are the what are 0:10:08.200 --> 0:10:08.800 the consequences? 0:10:08.880 --> 0:10:11.320 What are the ramifications here? Because if you get it wrong, 0:10:11.520 --> 0:10:13.880 I mean, how often has this happened this year? I 0:10:13.960 --> 0:10:16.840 was I fluctuate between being like, oh, well, why even 0:10:16.920 --> 0:10:18.960 bother telling us that you got it wrong? Then if 0:10:18.960 --> 0:10:22.960 there's no change coming, you know, like, what's the what's 0:10:23.040 --> 0:10:24.040 the repercussions for us? 0:10:24.080 --> 0:10:25.080 It just makes us angrier. 0:10:25.240 --> 0:10:27.679 It does particularly us because we feel like as a 0:10:27.720 --> 0:10:30.520 fan base that these calls are going against us, and 0:10:30.559 --> 0:10:32.600 now we've got stats to back it up. They came 0:10:32.640 --> 0:10:36.200 out and said that of the five sinbinnable offenses for 0:10:36.320 --> 0:10:39.080 high contact over the weekend, four of them were caught, 0:10:39.160 --> 0:10:41.160 and they were like, we're pretty happy with that ratio. 0:10:41.360 --> 0:10:43.320 The only one that wasn't was the Roger to eve 0:10:43.400 --> 0:10:46.200 us a shick one, and I would actually say that 0:10:46.240 --> 0:10:48.080 the Mitch Barnett one, I don't think they've got bin 0:10:48.200 --> 0:10:50.720 for that either, and he got hit so hard as 0:10:50.920 --> 0:10:56.560 eyebrows split, it's like how what other fucking wrecking it 0:10:56.559 --> 0:10:58.280 could have been, but it was quite clearly the second 0:10:58.280 --> 0:11:00.880 man into the tackle pointed the shoulder right to his eyebrow, 0:11:01.320 --> 0:11:03.760 and it's like, like we were saying after the game, 0:11:03.800 --> 0:11:08.760 he's like, you know, we wax lyrical about us at 0:11:08.800 --> 0:11:12.640 that time instead of working on about protecting the players. 0:11:12.960 --> 0:11:15.320 And then as soon as someone gets hit, it's the 0:11:15.360 --> 0:11:17.760 most egregious, like he has to come off because he's 0:11:17.800 --> 0:11:19.440 been hit in the head. Now, the rulers, you're not 0:11:19.440 --> 0:11:21.280 allowed to hit dudes in the head, and if you do, 0:11:21.360 --> 0:11:21.880 you get bin. 0:11:22.440 --> 0:11:25.040 How was that not enforced? I don't understand it. 0:11:25.520 --> 0:11:27.480 I know that our season was over anyway, but that's 0:11:27.559 --> 0:11:31.480 Roger's season done. And you know that's another head knock 0:11:31.559 --> 0:11:33.200 in the career of Roger to with us as schick 0:11:33.880 --> 0:11:35.839 there was no punishment for it. Then they come out 0:11:35.880 --> 0:11:37.960 and sort of dance on our graves afterwards, and like, yeah, 0:11:37.960 --> 0:11:39.800 I probably should have called that way. 0:11:41.160 --> 0:11:48.280 I saw a great mock letter on the ACC Instagram story, 0:11:48.880 --> 0:11:55.280 which is I'll read to you. It says here, give me, 0:11:55.000 --> 0:11:58.320 give me one moment, call it says here. Monday twenty 0:11:58.360 --> 0:12:01.520 six of August, Dean New Zealand. I hope this email 0:12:01.559 --> 0:12:05.000 finds you well. Once again, I wish to apologize for 0:12:05.040 --> 0:12:08.120 the incompetent decision making of one of our officials in 0:12:08.160 --> 0:12:12.200 your most recent fixture. The offending official has been reprimanded 0:12:12.240 --> 0:12:14.600 and stood down. Although this appears to be the same 0:12:14.679 --> 0:12:17.360 email as the one I sent you last time, it 0:12:17.440 --> 0:12:19.760 is in fact new, as you can see by my 0:12:19.880 --> 0:12:23.680 changing of the date above. Wishing also your injured player 0:12:24.120 --> 0:12:28.440 luck with his recovery. Kind regards, Graham Ansley. Analsley, head 0:12:28.480 --> 0:12:32.400 of the NRAL Elite Football Operations. As an official letter. 0:12:33.320 --> 0:12:37.000 It's like every other week. I would actually I've settled on. 0:12:37.080 --> 0:12:39.160 I would rather not know now. I don't want to 0:12:39.160 --> 0:12:40.840 know that you guys missed it, like we already know, 0:12:41.200 --> 0:12:43.000 so you come out and say, oh sorry, and then 0:12:43.040 --> 0:12:43.680 nothing happens. 0:12:44.559 --> 0:12:44.920 I don't know. 0:12:46.160 --> 0:12:48.680 The other thing is like will I'm bitching about the NRL. 0:12:49.360 --> 0:12:51.920 They talk about like there's a salary cap in the league. 0:12:51.960 --> 0:12:53.080 I don't know what it is. I don't know how 0:12:53.160 --> 0:12:56.320 much the players get paid. But in the last ten 0:12:56.400 --> 0:12:59.960 years only three teams have won the minor premiership Panthers, 0:13:00.200 --> 0:13:05.960 Rooster's Storm, So how has the salary kept working. You 0:13:06.000 --> 0:13:08.880 probably couldn't say it is. The Panthers have won three. 0:13:08.920 --> 0:13:12.000 I mean they are losing players as their run continues. 0:13:12.080 --> 0:13:14.760 But I don't know what. 0:13:14.000 --> 0:13:16.679 There needs to be some sort of buddy, there needs 0:13:16.679 --> 0:13:18.040 to be an investigation. 0:13:17.720 --> 0:13:18.720 Boody investigation. 0:13:18.840 --> 0:13:19.080 Mate. 0:13:19.160 --> 0:13:22.400 Well, all the other clubs need to get smarter or richer. 0:13:22.760 --> 0:13:26.880 Yeah, because we you know the Roosters, they are proud 0:13:26.880 --> 0:13:29.679 of the fact that they've got like a millionaire, billionaire 0:13:29.720 --> 0:13:32.360 dude who's bankrolling everything. Everyone knows who he is, isn't 0:13:32.360 --> 0:13:33.400 the politis. 0:13:32.960 --> 0:13:33.160 You know what? 0:13:34.440 --> 0:13:36.400 We need some of that dirty washing money. 0:13:36.679 --> 0:13:38.600 Who are there? Saudi's? 0:13:39.160 --> 0:13:46.240 Oh yeah, although Saudi Warriors the why do you worry? Yeah, 0:13:46.240 --> 0:13:49.280 I don't know the one using on Saudi Warriors. It's 0:13:49.280 --> 0:13:50.200 got a ring to it. 0:13:50.320 --> 0:13:51.480 Saudi well fund Warriors. 0:13:51.559 --> 0:13:53.640 Yeah, gotta stick one things get in there that because 0:13:53.640 --> 0:13:54.360 I've been there forever. 0:13:54.480 --> 0:13:58.000 Would it achieve any of their goals reaching an audience 0:13:58.040 --> 0:13:58.640 of five million? 0:13:59.520 --> 0:14:02.400 Ah? No, not at all. But I mean just a 0:14:02.400 --> 0:14:03.959 bit of washing on the side. You know a few 0:14:04.040 --> 0:14:06.600 our sports washing. This is just a little left hand corner. 0:14:07.000 --> 0:14:08.800 But if they coul build off Waterfront Stadium maybe be 0:14:08.800 --> 0:14:09.160 good as well. 0:14:09.280 --> 0:14:10.280 Yeah, one hundred percent. 0:14:11.000 --> 0:14:15.959 Speaking of rugby league and salary cap routes, Tom Traboivich 0:14:16.000 --> 0:14:18.160 has offered to pay back seven hundred and fifty thousand 0:14:18.160 --> 0:14:21.640 dollars of his salary over the next few years because yeah, exactly, 0:14:21.680 --> 0:14:23.480 this is what I thought. So he was saying, I 0:14:24.000 --> 0:14:27.800 haven't played many games in the last year, last two years, 0:14:27.920 --> 0:14:30.920 well last three years. I think he's been injured, been 0:14:30.920 --> 0:14:32.920 out with injuries. So he's gone to the club and said, 0:14:32.960 --> 0:14:35.360 I'd like to volunteer to pay seven hundred and fifty 0:14:35.400 --> 0:14:37.680 k back met smells. 0:14:37.520 --> 0:14:38.840 Does smell fishy, doesn't it. 0:14:39.000 --> 0:14:41.760 The NRL has then vetoed that and said you're not 0:14:41.800 --> 0:14:44.680 allowed to You can't do it because there's a thing 0:14:44.680 --> 0:14:46.960 in the NRAL where you have to pay a player 0:14:47.040 --> 0:14:49.800 there like fear market value. It's to stop things like 0:14:49.880 --> 0:14:51.920 when Roger two of us as she came back to us. 0:14:52.080 --> 0:14:54.440 It's to stop us from paying him like sixteen thousand 0:14:54.480 --> 0:14:56.000 dollars a year. Yeah, you know what I mean, just 0:14:56.000 --> 0:14:57.600 to get him back in the team. There has to 0:14:57.600 --> 0:15:00.800 be like a fear value there. So that's why they 0:15:00.840 --> 0:15:04.000 would have vetoed it. But why if you're Tom trable 0:15:04.040 --> 0:15:05.680 ivitge would you do that. Do you believe that he 0:15:05.840 --> 0:15:08.680 just felt bad to the tune of seven hundred and 0:15:08.720 --> 0:15:09.760 fifty thousand dollars? 0:15:10.120 --> 0:15:13.000 No, No, it's something, it's something. There's something not quite 0:15:13.040 --> 0:15:13.440 right there. 0:15:13.960 --> 0:15:16.440 I think if I was to be to give him 0:15:16.520 --> 0:15:18.800 benefit of the doubt, because this would have had to 0:15:18.800 --> 0:15:20.480 go through his agent. It's not like he could just 0:15:20.520 --> 0:15:22.160 call the NRL and be like his seven hundred and 0:15:22.160 --> 0:15:24.720 fifty k. I think the agent would have looked at 0:15:24.800 --> 0:15:30.040 it is like, we could give this money, get it 0:15:30.080 --> 0:15:33.240 off off the salary cap. Yeah, potentially bring in more 0:15:33.280 --> 0:15:36.480 players under that, you know, give that money to other players, 0:15:36.800 --> 0:15:38.440 and then we can make it back up off the side. 0:15:38.480 --> 0:15:40.960 Because this is a massive PR stunt, So we can 0:15:41.000 --> 0:15:43.720 then get all these endorsement deals off the back of 0:15:43.760 --> 0:15:47.040 that best case scenario, worst case scenario. NRL vetos it, 0:15:47.320 --> 0:15:49.280 we still look like good guys, and we get to 0:15:49.320 --> 0:15:51.240 keep the seven fifty k guilt free. 0:15:51.520 --> 0:15:53.160 Well, I mean, who's going to endorse some a tax 0:15:53.200 --> 0:15:54.479 refund company. 0:15:54.360 --> 0:15:56.600 Like Well, if you look at their sponsors, it's all 0:15:56.600 --> 0:15:57.480 like tax lawyers. 0:15:58.480 --> 0:16:01.920 Right, Okay, that's it's a bit of a PR stunt, 0:16:01.920 --> 0:16:04.360 but it's a strange one. I've never heard of a 0:16:04.360 --> 0:16:07.480 professional athlete wanting to give money back. Now they've done 0:16:07.640 --> 0:16:10.680 and if they've overcharged, or they haven't paid tecks, or 0:16:10.680 --> 0:16:13.280 there's something they're trying to slap a big dead fesshion 0:16:13.280 --> 0:16:13.800 on the table. 0:16:13.960 --> 0:16:16.080 No, I do have a couple of stats here. 0:16:16.160 --> 0:16:18.800 It's because he has only played thirty games since the 0:16:18.800 --> 0:16:21.600 start of twenty twenty two on a one point one 0:16:21.640 --> 0:16:22.640 million dollar salary. 0:16:22.880 --> 0:16:24.760 It still does sound like a that But why give them 0:16:24.800 --> 0:16:25.920 money back? Fuck them? 0:16:25.960 --> 0:16:28.560 They paid you. You know they you're a piece of meat. 0:16:28.560 --> 0:16:29.760 They'll trade you in a half. 0:16:29.640 --> 0:16:32.720 One hundred percent, Like, so, why, what's where's the why 0:16:32.800 --> 0:16:33.360 the loyalty? 0:16:33.640 --> 0:16:35.080 No, yeah, that's what I don't understand. 0:16:35.120 --> 0:16:38.200 Also, a lot of a big salary is a reward 0:16:38.240 --> 0:16:40.440 for prior performance. So when he was balling out in 0:16:40.480 --> 0:16:44.480 twenty twenty one, that's what most of their contract is for. 0:16:44.840 --> 0:16:45.520 It's a backpay. 0:16:45.560 --> 0:16:47.560
