1 00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:04,640 Speaker 1: Jersey and Amanda jam Nation. So Liam was over for 2 00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:07,400 Speaker 1: dinner last night, as he's great. He doesn't live at 3 00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:10,240 Speaker 1: home anymore now, that does Jack. But they come over 4 00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:11,719 Speaker 1: for dinner once a week and I see them all 5 00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:13,680 Speaker 1: the time. It's great. I send Jack a text over 6 00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:15,840 Speaker 1: the weekend I said, watch out for the double d's 7 00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:20,360 Speaker 1: with the double demerits. Yeah, yeah, I don't know if 8 00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:22,400 Speaker 1: he was still waiting for a reply. Yeah, well hello, 9 00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:26,600 Speaker 1: Welcome to the world of twenty one year olds and texting. Actually, 10 00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:30,360 Speaker 1: both boys are very good good They are very vigilant sons. 11 00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:33,479 Speaker 1: And I mean that in not in a forced way, 12 00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:36,160 Speaker 1: but you know, they're concerned for their dad. They're making 13 00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:38,960 Speaker 1: sure that I'm okay. They're fantastic boys. Hal with them. 14 00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:41,480 Speaker 1: It's always great to see them this stage of our lives. 15 00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:43,479 Speaker 1: As they get older, you just don't see them as 16 00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:45,680 Speaker 1: much because they're little rocket ships. They're doing their own thing. 17 00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:49,160 Speaker 1: And there's some men have moved out of her own men. Yeah, 18 00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:51,600 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you go, what happened? So Liam 19 00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:54,280 Speaker 1: was over for dinner last night, and we saw some 20 00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:57,720 Speaker 1: footage on the news of the Penrith Panthers in their 21 00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:02,760 Speaker 1: sheds straight after the wind and they're wearing winners jerseys 22 00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:07,360 Speaker 1: that have Panthers winners. Grand Final twenty twenty five had 23 00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:09,480 Speaker 1: a whole outfit as well. Though there was a shot 24 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:12,280 Speaker 1: and then there was a jacket they had. It was embroidered. 25 00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:16,400 Speaker 1: They had the whole thing. And I said, well, what happens. 26 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:19,320 Speaker 1: How quickly have they done this? And obviously they've had 27 00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:22,480 Speaker 1: to make all of that for the storm just in case. 28 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,560 Speaker 1: And Lim said, because he's a collector of basketball and 29 00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:28,640 Speaker 1: other kind of merch from America, he's been trying to 30 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:30,800 Speaker 1: get his hands on some of the stuff from the 31 00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:34,640 Speaker 1: loser teams that obviously exists and is out in the 32 00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:37,480 Speaker 1: ether somewhere, but you can't buy it. And he pointed 33 00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:39,880 Speaker 1: me to this article that explains why I don't know 34 00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,280 Speaker 1: what happens in Australia, but this is what happens, say 35 00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:46,119 Speaker 1: after the super Bowl. So for a long beforehand, they 36 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:49,360 Speaker 1: probably have T shirts and merch for a whole variety 37 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:51,320 Speaker 1: of teams, but particularly when they know who's going to 38 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:54,440 Speaker 1: be in the finale. In the final, they make items 39 00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 1: obviously for both teams because they can't wait until, say, 40 00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:01,600 Speaker 1: to go into production until after they've won, because it's 41 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:05,600 Speaker 1: that impulse buying. So what they waste in making it 42 00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:09,519 Speaker 1: for both teams, they make up for tenfold in having 43 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:11,840 Speaker 1: things ready to go when the time comes, so that 44 00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 1: you can order it online that night, you can buy 45 00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:16,400 Speaker 1: it as maybe as you leave the stadium, so it's 46 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:18,840 Speaker 1: ready to go. So what about the stuff for the 47 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:21,800 Speaker 1: team that hasn't won. Why don't we see that floating 48 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 1: around on a black market somewhere. What they do is 49 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 1: that they have bantered. This is in the States with 50 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 1: an organization called Good three sixty so or every bit 51 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:35,920 Speaker 1: of merch from a team that hasn't won from America 52 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:40,120 Speaker 1: goes to this one place in Virginia, and from there 53 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:43,080 Speaker 1: it gets sent to Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe, and the 54 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,680 Speaker 1: Middle East, and they are in charge of sending it 55 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,800 Speaker 1: out to those places, and they're very diligent. They make 56 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 1: sure it's not going to disrupt the local manufacturing market. 57 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:54,880 Speaker 1: But they say how important it is for kids in 58 00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:57,640 Speaker 1: these areas, for people and adults to have new, good 59 00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:01,560 Speaker 1: quality clothing. And another reason shipping it to those places 60 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:03,919 Speaker 1: is that it can't come back because they a don't 61 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,000 Speaker 1: want someone to profit from it. They want this to 62 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:07,680 Speaker 1: be a nonprofit thing. They don't want it to be 63 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,200 Speaker 1: bought and sold and find its way back. But also 64 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 1: psychologically and in terms of your brand, you don't want it. 65 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,639 Speaker 1: May be funny to have a loser's jersey, to wear 66 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:18,839 Speaker 1: that and think it's a collector's item, but no one 67 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,720 Speaker 1: from the merchandise side, no one from the NFL side, 68 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,640 Speaker 1: wants that to be seen in America. So it suits 69 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 1: that this stuff goes over and does good work, yep. 70 00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,920 Speaker 1: But also it means it doesn't get it doesn't surface 71 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,239 Speaker 1: in America. What if someone immigrates over here and they've 72 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 1: got the merch What if like a little kid comes 73 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,200 Speaker 1: over here on a boat and he's got a panther 74 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 1: or a paramount of twenty twenty two Grand Final winner's shirt. 75 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:43,200 Speaker 1: Good luck to him, Good luck to him, because you'd 76 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 1: love one of the days. Well, that's the thing. They 77 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 1: would be collector's items, which is why they go to 78 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 1: great trouble to make sure that someone a isn't making 79 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,560 Speaker 1: money from it and b the NRL wouldn't be embarrassed 80 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:56,960 Speaker 1: by it. Yeah, that's why I held back on getting 81 00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 1: out winner's shirts made for the Radio Awards on Saturday. 82 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:06,080 Speaker 1: I think they're safe. Two peat. Two peat we won 83 00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 1: last year. Can we have a two people? I think 84 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 1: it's called a repeat it's a no repeat station. What 85 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:13,280 Speaker 1: are we going to do? Two peat
