But over the last sort 28 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:33,160 Speaker 4: of few months weeks of the summer, there's an idea 29 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:36,120 Speaker 4: that's just been rattling around the old skull and. 30 00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:37,800 Speaker 1: You can't shake it. 31 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:39,840 Speaker 4: No, I can't.

And I just decided, 34 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:45,640 Speaker 4: you know what, it's time to roll the dice of 35 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,200 Speaker 4: life again, and I'm gonna go and just gave and 36 00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:49,120 Speaker 4: play some basketball. 37 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:55,240 Speaker 1: People are wondering, like, did you say maybe the six? 38 00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:56,280 Speaker 3: Yeah? 39 00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:58,440 Speaker 4: I mean that's the thing you're seeing the inspiration from 40 00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 4: the Adelaide thirty six. I've still got a chance into 41 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,960 Speaker 4: making the league. No, but you look over the last 42 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:05,640 Speaker 4: few years and this is actually not just the last 43 00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:07,760 Speaker 4: few years. But you know, I traveling and basketball has 44 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:12,000 Speaker 4: been my two passions in life. And whenever I've traveled recently, 45 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,040 Speaker 4: I've been playing bastball. I love just turning up to 46 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:16,320 Speaker 4: court and playing basketball. Now this started in Brazil, actually 47 00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:18,840 Speaker 4: in nineteen ninety nine. I'll take you back a little bit. 48 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it was nineteen ninety nine. 49 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:23,840 Speaker 4: Was in this place called Paraiti in Brazil, and I 50 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 4: was walking along and had a few drinks with my 51 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,320 Speaker 4: friend fab Yo, and we saw of court this guy 52 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:30,440 Speaker 4: playing and I just turned up.

My Portuguese wasn't all that good, but we 55 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,240 Speaker 4: started shooting hoops. Some other guys turned up, We started playing, 56 00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 4: I started winning. They started getting pissed off. I felt 57 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:43,000 Speaker 4: my life was in danger, so I left. 58 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 1: But same situation. 59 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 3: Life. 60 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 4: And you know, in the last couple of years, I've 61 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,239 Speaker 4: done some traveling.

And every time I've done 64 00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,080 Speaker 4: that on social media people have said, hey, man, if 65 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,400 Speaker 4: you ever in my city, come along and play, and 66 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:06,520 Speaker 4: and something has just sort of sparked inside me.

Look, I don't want to not make money. 72 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,200 Speaker 4: I'm hoping to generate a revenue.

The long term goal 77 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:33,840 Speaker 4: is to generate revenue. But the initial goal here is 78 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 4: I've got a brand. I've gone going for twenty twenty 79 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 4: games of basketball in twenty different cities, in twenty different countries. 80 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 4: That's the goal. That's the goal. 81 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:43,120 Speaker 1: I didn't know that details. 82 00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 4: Yeah, well it's I mean, that's again I sort of 83 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 4: want to give it some target here.

I mean, 337 00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:38,240 Speaker 4: like whether it was the TV show show format like 338 00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:40,680 Speaker 4: they're in Las Vegas, or the live show in Chicago 339 00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:42,560 Speaker 4: there that we did. I think that was the last one. Actually, 340 00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:43,920 Speaker 4: wasn't it still the last? 341 00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:45,760 Speaker 1: That was right before the pandemic. 342 00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:49,360 Speaker 4: Wow. I mean the energy from those shows honestly just 343 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:51,560 Speaker 4: couldn't be beaten. You know, look, sure it's not Wembley, 344 00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:53,600 Speaker 4: but you know, it was just cool when we did 345 00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:56,000 Speaker 4: those shows and then in Toronto for All Star Weekend 346 00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:57,920 Speaker 4: and Vegas was always a lot of fun. I mean 347 00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:00,000 Speaker 4: it was long, you know, those first couple of years 348 00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:03,000 Speaker 4: were long, but every night it felt like the fans 349 00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:05,680 Speaker 4: were there, coming out in numbers and supporting us. And 350 00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:08,520 Speaker 4: I remember, like all of us afterwards, you'd have a 351 00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:11,320 Speaker 4: long day, but after the show, the energy was up, 352 00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:13,480 Speaker 4: you know, you would feel it. And I mean, again, 353 00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:15,400 Speaker 4: just none of us would be doing any of this 354 00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:18,080 Speaker 4: stuff if it wasn't for support like that, and so 355 00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:21,640 Speaker 4: you know that to me, it was just an awesome moment. 356 00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:23,240 Speaker 4: I wish we could have done more of that stuff. 357 00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:25,640 Speaker 1: You know, what does this mean for the show we 358 00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:27,480 Speaker 1: were going to do in Australia. The tour we were 359 00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:28,760 Speaker 1: going to do, so we were going to be selling 360 00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:35,600 Speaker 1: out ten thousand seed stadiums and stuff like not quite 361 00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:38,400 Speaker 1: some of your friends Dicky would be there. 362 00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:42,480 Speaker 4: Dickie would be there, so yeah, so yeah, I mean 363 00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:44,760 Speaker 4: the live stuff was, you know, was awesome. I mean 364 00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:46,880 Speaker 4: to feel that in front of the fans and the 365 00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:49,240 Speaker 4: studio and again I think Chicago the perfect thing about that. 366 00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:52,360 Speaker 4: The venue was just perfect. It was suba suba couldn't move. 367 00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:56,600 Speaker 4: Charlotte was a bit open can that was a great no, No, 368 00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:59,880 Speaker 4: it was you know, it's like when you go to 369 00:15:59,880 --> 00:16:01,960 Speaker 4: a house party. You don't want one of those gigantic 370 00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,720 Speaker 4: house parties where people spread out. Need a little bit 371 00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:05,280 Speaker 4: more intimate. 372 00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:07,480 Speaker 2: You want to sell out of five thousand seat stadium, 373 00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:09,120 Speaker 2: but you want an intimate. 374 00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:13,640 Speaker 7: Will you still let us open for you if we're 375 00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:15,920 Speaker 7: in Australia, we'll do like an hour and then you 376 00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:17,680 Speaker 7: can talk about your travels of. 377 00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:19,720 Speaker 4: Course, and you guys can play the game if you 378 00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:25,760 Speaker 4: want to pick up game. Okay, number four probably maybe 379 00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:27,080 Speaker 4: you would have thought this was higher, but it was 380 00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:29,440 Speaker 4: shooting around with Steph Curry. I mean, you know what 381 00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:31,840 Speaker 4: an unbelievable experience. 382 00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:32,280 Speaker 3: That was. 383 00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:36,040 Speaker 4: And really I have to thank the reporter who asked 384 00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:39,160 Speaker 4: the question of Steph in the in the scrum after 385 00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:42,600 Speaker 4: he won the shootout in twenty fifteen, because you know, 386 00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:44,800 Speaker 4: if he doesn't ask Steph, what was the difference in 387 00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:46,360 Speaker 4: how you you haven't won it three times in a 388 00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:47,960 Speaker 4: row to winning it this year and Steph doesn't give 389 00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:50,800 Speaker 4: that answer, then that this doesn't happen. The look and 390 00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:51,400 Speaker 4: for those who. 391 00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:55,200 Speaker 1: Don't know, the answer was, Steph had seen our show, yes, 392 00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:58,120 Speaker 1: or we're talking about all Star moments and stuff like that, 393 00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:01,120 Speaker 1: and you had alluded to like a policeman, like where 394 00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:02,320 Speaker 1: you are picking up from the rat. 395 00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:05,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, and Steph, Steph listened to that, and Steph went 396 00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:06,800 Speaker 4: out and applied that, and he went out and he 397 00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:09,200 Speaker 4: won the competition for the first time. And look, I'm 398 00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:10,960 Speaker 4: certainly dining out on that one. I mean, you know, 399 00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:14,120 Speaker 4: I love to sure, I like to, you know, exaggerate 400 00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:16,200 Speaker 4: how much I helped him, But you know. 401 00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:17,880 Speaker 1: The greatest shooter of all time. 402 00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:19,440 Speaker 4: You know, I gave him a little dar I said, 403 00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:21,439 Speaker 4: you're pretty good, but maybe you just try this. And 404 00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:24,000 Speaker 4: I noticed actually in Japan last week he was shooting 405 00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:26,280 Speaker 4: from the left, so we won't work. Maybe we need 406 00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:28,119 Speaker 4: to get back in touch here, but he did. 407 00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:28,920 Speaker 1: It doesn't matter. 408 00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:34,520 Speaker 4: But the thing was when I went to San Francisco 409 00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:38,520 Speaker 4: to shoot that, I got thirty five forty minutes one 410 00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:40,240 Speaker 4: on one shooting with Steph Curry. 411 00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:41,120 Speaker 1: The greatest players of all time. 412 00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:44,280 Speaker 4: I mean, and you know, like to the how that 413 00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:46,959 Speaker 4: was so cool? How Steph? Because the PR guy Ray 414 00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,119 Speaker 4: Ritta said, You've got eight minutes here, and I was 415 00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:52,200 Speaker 4: like eight minutes, you know, eight minutes there and Steph 416 00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:54,399 Speaker 4: doesn't know what I'm doing. And then you know, I 417 00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:56,439 Speaker 4: saw Ray a couple of times walking the baseliner just 418 00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:58,320 Speaker 4: turned my head there because Steph was into it and 419 00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:00,720 Speaker 4: Steph was having a great time. I got on fire 420 00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:01,879 Speaker 4: as well. I hit a few in a row, and 421 00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:03,879 Speaker 4: Steph was, you know, gem me up. He was gassing 422 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:06,919 Speaker 4: me up. And I mean, like I couldn't I couldn't 423 00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:10,600 Speaker 4: possibly have imagined something like that. Like that's the thing, like, 424 00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:13,080 Speaker 4: if this idea I've got sounds crazy, imagine I'd say 425 00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:15,280 Speaker 4: ten years ago, I'm going to give Steph Curry some 426 00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:16,680 Speaker 4: tips and then I'm going to go and shoot around 427 00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:18,679 Speaker 4: with him. Okay, I mean, you know, Matt, it's a 428 00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:23,240 Speaker 4: good point, but so like I just I just can't 429 00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:26,800 Speaker 4: believe I got that opportunity, and you know, it was incredible. Okay. 430 00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:29,000 Speaker 7: One thing I can believe is when you were told 431 00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:34,080 Speaker 7: you had eight minutes that it went for basketball and 432 00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:36,800 Speaker 7: stuff I imagined were very encomplistic. 433 00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:39,000 Speaker 6: They're like, oh yeah, we'll just keep shooting as long 434 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:39,879 Speaker 6: as they'll let us. 435 00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:41,520 Speaker 4: Basically, yeah, basically. 436 00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:41,840 Speaker 1: I mean. 437 00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:45,000 Speaker 4: The thing was, I was flying in the taxi to 438 00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:48,080 Speaker 4: get the flight. I was. I literally walked through security 439 00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:50,520 Speaker 4: onto the plane and the plane doors closed and flew 440 00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:53,840 Speaker 4: coming back, coming back. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And I 441 00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:56,399 Speaker 4: think Matt I have to shout out Matt our produced 442 00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:59,160 Speaker 4: former producer. He was at a comedy show or something 443 00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:01,439 Speaker 4: and the message came through and said, steps in, we 444 00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:03,240 Speaker 4: need to organize. They have to leave and go home 445 00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:05,960 Speaker 4: and organize it. So shout out to Matt for that. 446 00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:08,360 Speaker 4: I appreciate he didn't just ignore it and say bad 447 00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:09,800 Speaker 4: luck you missed out there is. 448 00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:13,160 Speaker 1: You should have hit up Maddy. How about your world 449 00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:14,480 Speaker 1: tour playing basketball? 450 00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:14,800 Speaker 3: Yeah? 451 00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:15,440 Speaker 1: Take him out? 452 00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:16,080 Speaker 3: Sure? 453 00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:16,560 Speaker 4: Why not? 454 00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:18,600 Speaker 1: Why not share a hotel room with them. 455 00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:24,879 Speaker 4: If he wants to come along Matte you can. You're welcome. Okay, 456 00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:29,119 Speaker 4: number three here, I mean another awesome experience, now this 457 00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:32,960 Speaker 4: one certainly I mean this. I get asked about this 458 00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:35,159 Speaker 4: from people still like Isaiah Thomas. When I was growing up, 459 00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:37,679 Speaker 4: the first Finals I really followed with nineteen eighty eight, 460 00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:40,320 Speaker 4: when when Isaiah should have won the championship, you know, 461 00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:42,120 Speaker 4: they were three to two up. He has the forty 462 00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:45,159 Speaker 4: three in game six, you know, and twist his ankle 463 00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:48,000 Speaker 4: and if it wasn't for Michael Jordan and a Kim Elijah, 464 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:51,440 Speaker 4: and he'd be my favorite player because Isaiah was inspirational 465 00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:54,679 Speaker 4: to me, because look, we're basically the right. And so 466 00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:56,119 Speaker 4: when I was a kid, I was like you I 467 00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:58,200 Speaker 4: was the smallest, skinniest kid out there, and I saw 468 00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:03,280 Speaker 4: Isaiah going up agains. I mean, you know, so you know, 469 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:05,480 Speaker 4: to have those posters on my wall, and then one 470 00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:07,640 Speaker 4: day to be you know, in the office with him 471 00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:09,800 Speaker 4: and he signed that from one starter to another starter. 472 00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:13,600 Speaker 4: You know, that was just incredible. And then to go 473 00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:16,280 Speaker 4: and play one on one against Isaiah in Oakland and 474 00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:22,679 Speaker 4: cook him. I even save JD. I was gonna put 475 00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:24,480 Speaker 4: up the clip of me hitting the crossover. I thought, 476 00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:26,880 Speaker 4: you know, what I'm going to give my parting gift 477 00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:28,960 Speaker 4: to JD is you don't have to watch that again. 478 00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:35,080 Speaker 4: But you know, like that that moment where I played 479 00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:37,359 Speaker 4: with him a couple of years, you know, shooting around 480 00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:41,240 Speaker 4: and and you know, beat him and like that that 481 00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:43,720 Speaker 4: again when I when I think about what I'm about 482 00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:45,560 Speaker 4: to embark on, if you'd said to twelve year old 483 00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:49,000 Speaker 4: league when when the United States and the NBA back then, 484 00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:50,919 Speaker 4: it felt like that was you may as well tell 485 00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:53,600 Speaker 4: me I'm going to Mars, right, you know, And then 486 00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:56,840 Speaker 4: it was awesome. So like those sort of moments that 487 00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:59,480 Speaker 4: were spontaneous again, like this wasn't planned to shoot around 488 00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:01,719 Speaker 4: with Isaiah just we're out of the court. He was shooting. 489 00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:03,920 Speaker 4: I'm shooting, you know, until they kick him off. I'm 490 00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:07,679 Speaker 4: staying out here. It was incredible. So those sorts of 491 00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:11,120 Speaker 4: things I can't really describe as what that meant for 492 00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:13,399 Speaker 4: for me for my journey where it began and you 493 00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:16,480 Speaker 4: know the point that I reached there.

But again, it was 631 00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:11,480 Speaker 4: you and and tass and and JD who honestly were trailblazers, pioneers, 632 00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:14,879 Speaker 4: and I mean you really were, you know, And and 633 00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:16,960 Speaker 4: Treyce talked about as well, like he sort of messaged 634 00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:20,680 Speaker 4: you guys and came on board and brought incredible you know, 635 00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:23,320 Speaker 4: passion and energy and creativity to the idea. And then 636 00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:25,120 Speaker 4: Matt as well. You know, when he came along, Matt 637 00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:27,840 Speaker 4: turned it from basically from a you know, mum and 638 00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:31,520 Speaker 4: pup podcast into into a business. And so you know, 639 00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:36,520 Speaker 4: then I came along. You were having a house party. 640 00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:38,560 Speaker 4: I just came along with six beers. I drunk ten 641 00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:39,200 Speaker 4: and now I'm out. 642 00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:45,840 Speaker 1: But you were fine at the party.
