Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Mason Cox Show. Today is unique.
Speaker 1: This is the first one of those we're doing. We're
Speaker 1: doing catch up with Mason Cox.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: I've got the man, the myth of legend. He is
Speaker 1: the man that works everything in the backgrounds. He is
Speaker 1: the producer, editor, everything else that is involved in this podcast.
Speaker 1: And he's a good friend of mine, and he's one
Speaker 1: of the reasons I think we started this whole thing
Speaker 1: about three years ago, was trying to get this podcast
Speaker 1: off the ground. He's created this amazing thing, the Rolling Bus.
Speaker 1: Check him out on socials, rolling media, on Instagram and
Speaker 1: all that, and it's been so good. We're doing this
Speaker 1: catch up with Coxy and it's gonna be essentially all
Speaker 1: things relevant current events, news, topics, sports, entertainment, everything you
Speaker 1: can possibly imagine. We're going to hit the main topics
Speaker 1: from everything that's happened over the past few weeks.
Speaker 2: So listen.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be an amazing episode. And I'm so excited
Speaker 1: to have the man in front of us. We're actually
Speaker 1: seeing you, like actual video of the man who's actually
Speaker 1: the person editing and doing all the clips and stuff.
Speaker 1: It's good to have you on and good to get
Speaker 1: your opinion out there now.
Speaker 3: Finally, just it shows how hard my job is that
Speaker 3: I can do it from in front of the cameras, like, yeah,
Speaker 3: I'm a magician. Everything switching and the audio is working. Hopefully.
Speaker 1: I feel a little bit more editing because you can't
Speaker 1: do it right now. But yeah, I'm excited to get
Speaker 1: into it. Mal Well, we'll smash into it. We've got
Speaker 1: a lot to cover here. There's a lot that's happened
Speaker 1: over the last few weeks so.
Speaker 3: Well, I'm actually still coming down from yesterday's game, so
Speaker 3: well yesterday. This is recorded Monday, the day after Hawthorne
Speaker 3: Collingwood nail biting victory for the Pies.
Speaker 1: Yeah, last two weeks have been like that. I've I
Speaker 1: feel like I've aged a lot in the last two weeks.
Speaker 1: So we've had two nail biers over the last two
Speaker 1: weekends and we've coming on top for both of them.
Speaker 1: So very fortunate, very exciting days at the column of
Speaker 1: football Club at the moment. But it's it's been a
Speaker 1: really good few weeks and we're looking forward to this
Speaker 1: week coming up with the Coins birthday match, one of
Speaker 1: the biggest games of the year.
Speaker 3: So it's going to get a good they're sliding. I
Speaker 3: reckon there are a chance to drop out of the eight.
Speaker 2: I reckon, be real, Melbourne. It's Melbourne.
Speaker 3: They keep this trajectory. Yeah, you're only as good as
Speaker 3: your last game, and even if you're only as good
Speaker 3: as your last two games, or they've had some they've
Speaker 3: had some stinkers.
Speaker 1: I'm not going to sit there and get my hopes
Speaker 1: self like that. I'm gonna prepare for Melbourne at their best.
Speaker 1: So it's gonna be a good game coming up. Obviously
Speaker 1: we have the M and D round. You've got a
Speaker 1: bit of a compersonal connection with the M and D round,
Speaker 1: Is that correct?
Speaker 3: Yeah, like unfortunately, but yeah, my uncle recently passed of
Speaker 3: M and D And yeah, it's I've done some stuff
Speaker 3: through the club being there previously, and it's just such
Speaker 3: a scary disease, like the way that it moves so quickly,
Speaker 3: and now having a personal connection to it, whereas you
Speaker 3: grow up with that person being a certain way, knowing
Speaker 3: them your whole life, and then to see them and
Speaker 3: then shortly like the way that it kind of deteriorates.
Speaker 3: The body and the mind's still there and kind of
Speaker 3: willing and able. It's it's really sad to see, but
Speaker 3: on the flip side, it's awesome the Queen's Birthday game
Speaker 3: and what Collingwood and Melbourne do and kind of although
Speaker 3: there's the competition on the days that they kind of
Speaker 3: just put it to the side and do something really
Speaker 3: good for charity and really shine a spotlight on what
Speaker 3: is a bit of a disease.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's terrible and it's cool that they are able
Speaker 1: to kind of wrap this whole fundraiser up and bring
Speaker 1: celebrities on board, get Neil Dannahr to go up, people
Speaker 1: slide down, to slide into an ice bath and everyone
Speaker 1: buys in so much.
Speaker 2: It's such a cool day.
Speaker 1: I feel like in Australian culture, sporting culture in general,
Speaker 1: to have you know, eighty ninety thousand people come out
Speaker 1: and have this is such a big image from the round.
Speaker 1: We've got obviously indigenous round, We've got Anzacto, We've got
Speaker 1: a lot of amazing things, matter Rawatt's Vision Round. We've
Speaker 1: got so many things that AFL puts a shining light
Speaker 1: on and I think this is one of the ones
Speaker 1: that shines the brightest and it's such an amazing thing
Speaker 1: to be a part of I remember.
Speaker 2: About like five years ago or something like that.
Speaker 1: I ended up winning the Neil Dannaher Cup and that's
Speaker 1: one of the highlights of my career, having that given
Speaker 1: by Neil to myself and one of those moments. You
Speaker 1: get chills now talking about it because he's an absolute
Speaker 1: legend and it's going to be a really exciting week
Speaker 1: for us at the club.
Speaker 3: That was actually my last game at the part you
Speaker 3: absolutely watched. I was like, this will be the peak
Speaker 3: of what Collingwood achieves in twenty eighteen, so I'll leave it. Well,
Speaker 3: it wasn't that bad. I got to watch the rest
Speaker 3: of the season on the couch. Had a few beers.
Speaker 3: But what you kick five in that game?
Speaker 1: Kick fives the most I've ever kicked in the game.
Speaker 1: That's not bad for the big ones. See you step
Speaker 1: up on the big stage. It is ansac day, the
Speaker 1: pre lim I.
Speaker 2: Just need eighty thousand people to show up and actually
Speaker 2: up for the game.
Speaker 3: Yes, So if you're having a flat game, it's because
Speaker 3: eighty thousand didn't show up.
Speaker 2: That's because the supporters out there. Come on, guys.
Speaker 3: Well, there was a few talking points out of the game,
Speaker 3: so a few controversial decisions and a few controversial non decisions.
Speaker 3: So I don't know where you were on the ground
Speaker 3: at the time, but game in the balance, third quarter,
Speaker 3: Darcymore slides to knock a ball over the line to
Speaker 3: rush your behind. I'm not sure who the Hawthorne player was,
Speaker 3: but came in, slid in behind him, basically trailed him
Speaker 3: across the line and was called for diving below the knees.
Speaker 3: Such a rough decision at the time, and I can say,
Speaker 3: but it looks wrong, Like how do you feel when
Speaker 3: a call comes like that and chuck on top of
Speaker 3: that no descente You just got to hold it in,
Speaker 3: fold the arms.
Speaker 2: It's become a bit harder this year.
Speaker 1: I mean're not allowed to essentially react to show any
Speaker 1: emotion with about call nowadays. And I'm totally don't get
Speaker 1: me wrong, I'm on board for this whole respecting the
Speaker 1: umpires and everything, and it's great that we're doing that,
Speaker 1: don't get me wrong. But I think at the same time,
Speaker 1: it's so hard as a player when if you see
Speaker 1: something you're like, oh, come on, after you make a call.
Speaker 1: As an umpire, you have to stick to it, but
Speaker 1: you can't go back and be like, oh, now, hold on,
Speaker 1: I made the wrong call. Have a little huddle and
Speaker 1: sort it out. Like no, you make the call. It sticks,
Speaker 1: So you got to sit there and just own it,
Speaker 1: even if you have that moment of realization that maybe
Speaker 1: it's the wrong call. That one where I think everyone
Speaker 1: watched it up on the big screen after it happened.
Speaker 1: I was like, Okay, come on, this is surely not
Speaker 1: like a whole crowd of going after you like and
Speaker 1: it just plays over and over.
Speaker 3: I'd avoid watching the big screen it all comes, especially
Speaker 3: when you knew it was line ball and you've got
Speaker 3: the player pointing up at the big screen. Slay and
Speaker 3: check it out. Yeah, just stand the market. Just the
Speaker 3: Marx here, like.
Speaker 1: Just straight back to the city circles square.
Speaker 3: About about a dozen times. And the other one was
Speaker 3: Jack Ginevan.
Speaker 1: Obviously he's for Guinea. Love Ginny and everyone does. I
Speaker 1: will everyone loves getting a big fan of Guinea on
Speaker 1: the podcast.
Speaker 3: He's pretty polarizing. If he played for your team, you'd
Speaker 3: love him. I can understand that he can push push
Speaker 3: other teams. That the big celebration in the goal square
Speaker 3: against Freo was it.
Speaker 2: I a huge fan also Hawthorne did that this week anyways.
Speaker 3: So but you're probably gonna win the game if you
Speaker 3: if you're going to do that. But yeah, Giman obviously
Speaker 3: got a few content and just non calls a couple
Speaker 3: of highs where it looked like the umpire kind of
Speaker 3: called play on because he was playing for a free kick.
Speaker 3: Do you think it should be called on its merit
Speaker 3: or do you think that it's kind of deserved when
Speaker 3: some of these players come out, I know it was
Speaker 3: compared to like Cody Weightman who openly came out and
Speaker 3: said that it was a skill to dive. Do you
Speaker 3: think they should just call it as they see it?
Speaker 2: I think you have to call it.
Speaker 1: See it. It's seriously, it's a it's trying to get
Speaker 1: people to tackle Lesson above the head. And like obviously
Speaker 1: concussion is a massive thing in the AFL. It's a
Speaker 1: big kind of hot topic at the moment with everything
Speaker 1: going on and CTE and all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 1: That's starting to get more and more information as the
Speaker 1: years go on. But you have to just call it,
Speaker 1: even if it's if you unnecessarily hit some one that
Speaker 1: I can tell you how many free kicks I've given
Speaker 1: away for a high tackle because the dude's like, I
Speaker 1: physically can't actually like tackle someone properly because you getting
Speaker 1: on my knees on the ground, like actually get their chest.
Speaker 1: It's just it's frustrating, and it's one of the most
Speaker 1: frustrating things as a tall fella, I think. But you
Speaker 1: just have to call it as is, like if someone
Speaker 1: you know gets a high tackle, it's it's tough shit,
Speaker 1: Like it's like you got I don't know the best
Speaker 1: way to go about it, to be honest, to be
Speaker 1: able to try to not too it's like you kind
Speaker 1: of have to almost like wait for him to try
Speaker 1: to make that move and then you tackle on after
Speaker 1: or something along those lines. But we're trying to mitigate
Speaker 1: the amount of head knocks in a game, and if
Speaker 1: you hit someone in the head it's a free kick.
Speaker 1: It should be This is a problem with umpiring. There's
Speaker 1: too many opinions. This needs to be something straight down
Speaker 1: the line, like it is a factual thing.
Speaker 2: If you hit someone in the head, it's a free kick.
Speaker 1: Otherwise we're gonna sit there and go back and forth
Speaker 1: and we're never gonna have an actual answer for what's
Speaker 1: a like proper way to justify a free kick.
Speaker 3: But the problem is is the gray areas in it.
Speaker 3: Is it a skill or.
Speaker 2: It's a skill just so it's made like a whole
Speaker 2: career out of it, like kidding me.
Speaker 3: But so if it's a skill and you say that
Speaker 3: you need to avoid head contact and he's putting his
Speaker 3: head in a vulnerable position, does some of it need
Speaker 3: to fall on the person putting their head in that position.
Speaker 1: I mean, if you go and like take your head
Speaker 1: over the ball and you run your head into someone's knee,
Speaker 1: like that can't be highs nothing to do with the person.
Speaker 1: They're not actually trying to make contact with you. But
Speaker 1: if someone just trying to tackle you and like gets
Speaker 1: their arm above your neck, then yeah, it has to
Speaker 1: be a free kick, and I think it should just
Speaker 1: it seriously needs to be straight down the line because umpires,
Speaker 1: we're going to run out of umpires, because no one's
Speaker 1: going to want to be an umpire because it's impossible
Speaker 1: to actually be correct as an umpire because you always
Speaker 1: have opinions and you can be both right and wrong
Speaker 1: at the same time. That's my opinion. Sorry, that's a
Speaker 1: little hot take for you.
Speaker 3: Very true and saying that I did see you withholding
Speaker 3: your descent on the weekend. Well why did you just
Speaker 3: go you just went with the folded up Well.
Speaker 1: I was like that. I was like, well, if i'll
Speaker 1: do that, i'm gonna give a fifty ways. So I'm
Speaker 1: just gonna look at them with a huge amount of
Speaker 1: disdain and yeah, I'm sure you'll make a meme out
Speaker 1: of that. I like the best of that one, but
Speaker 1: I was not the happy the call.
Speaker 3: But yeah I couldn't.
Speaker 1: That's yeah, well that's my way of showing it. That's
Speaker 1: apparently within the rule book of the IFL.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, it's good. And so we ask fans for
Speaker 3: their fan questions and we'll get to that later in
Speaker 3: the podcast. But one that really really stood out was
Speaker 3: the fact when it started raining. We all know that
Speaker 3: you wear glasses now and for eye protection purposes, when
Speaker 3: it started raining, the glasses came off. Everyone wanted to
Speaker 3: know why the glasses came off. Was it because it
Speaker 3: was raining?
Speaker 1: It is because it's raining, And until they start making
Speaker 1: glasses that have windshield wipers, I don't think that's going
Speaker 1: to change. I have contacts that are dailies and essentially
Speaker 1: taking bit of arrest doing it, but where there was
Speaker 1: a research raining because whenever you have obviously there's glasses,
Speaker 1: it's a surface that gets wet, crosses droplets, you can't
Speaker 1: see as well, so I can found Yeah, it's.
Speaker 2: I mean, we're two guys wearing glasses right now.
Speaker 3: I mean a lot in common.
Speaker 2: Yeah, both glass name cocks. We're both a little bit
Speaker 2: differently unfortunate for you.
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's it's it's something that I think now, unfortunately,
Speaker 1: if that does the cases that I have not found
Speaker 1: a solution other than wearing contacts for rainy day.
Speaker 3: So saying that and hearing your story, what are the
Speaker 3: risks if it's ever every time it starts raining and
Speaker 3: it is a winter sport, what are the risks that
Speaker 3: you run?
Speaker 1: It's the same risk as probably before all this happened.
Speaker 1: Just kind of daunting to say, I guess, but yeah,
Speaker 1: I think it's I've been very unfortunate, very unlucky, and
Speaker 1: the fact that that's kind of been the way that's
Speaker 1: I guess happened with my injuries. But like, there's no
Speaker 1: other way I've found to be able to do this.
Speaker 1: I'm like, can you run out there in the middle
Speaker 1: of the game starts raining instantly go, well, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: take myself off the field because I can't see now,
Speaker 1: like you have to find Yeah, you have to find
Speaker 1: some kind of a solution. So it's a bit risky,
Speaker 1: and I hope no oppositions looking at this and saying, oh,
Speaker 1: here's a free whack on them. But yeah, it is
Speaker 1: what it is. It's part of the whole process and
Speaker 1: part of the journey and just kind of you got
Speaker 1: to cop it, deal with it and pray for the best.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Kind of crazy to say that, like, really, course, but
Speaker 3: I actually can't imagine just that preying on your mind
Speaker 3: the whole time. I don't know.
Speaker 1: It doesn't prayer on my mind.
Speaker 3: You don't think about it now.
Speaker 2: Not even a little bit.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to knock someone's head out, Yeah, I'm trying
Speaker 1: to make sure I'm not the one getting jumped and
Speaker 1: getting and jumping on someone else. Yeah, let's move on
Speaker 1: to some other stuff, because this is not just a
Speaker 1: football podcast. We're going to talk about all kinds of things,
Speaker 1: entertainment and everything else. And we're going to get into
Speaker 1: a bit of entertainment side of things.
Speaker 2: There's a couple of shows out like, I'm a big
Speaker 2: Netflix guy, big you.
Speaker 1: Know, Disney Plus kind of fell out and I love
Speaker 1: my Dark Hours and whatnot.
Speaker 2: And there's a couple out right now. There's Obi Wan
Speaker 2: good Ducker.
Speaker 1: Oh it's a series, and there's Stranger Things season four. Yeah,
Speaker 1: have you got into these?
Speaker 2: Braiden?
Speaker 3: See, I was a real late coming to Star Wars,
Speaker 3: and but then I kind of binged and got through
Speaker 3: it and I did what was the first TV show.
Speaker 2: That they brought out, Mandalorian.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I watched Mandalorian Hot Take.
Speaker 1: No, Braiden's heart take, Cox's heart Take.
Speaker 3: Nothing happened. Every episode was like, hey, Mandalorian, go get
Speaker 3: the milk from the corner store. And then off he went,
Speaker 3: and he got the milk, came back and then it
Speaker 3: would be like, ah, thanks for getting the milk, but
Speaker 3: there's trouble on that over there. And then he'd like
Speaker 3: lie off to the next planet and the next guy
Speaker 3: would be, yeah, where's my eggs and the like. It
Speaker 3: was just like little task by little time. It's like,
Speaker 3: go go do something. Back in Star Wars they used
Speaker 3: to blow up death stars and stuff like what are
Speaker 3: you doing?
Speaker 1: You just do?
Speaker 3: Like I get it because he's like, what is he
Speaker 3: He's like a little henchman for yeah, he probably shouldn't
Speaker 3: say little henchman.
Speaker 1: It's like condescending, but situally a mercenary.
Speaker 3: Like he's a mercenary. But it's just like, go and
Speaker 3: do this for me, Go and do that for me,
Speaker 3: and he'd go and do it, and then the series ended.
Speaker 2: It's like we was in there.
Speaker 1: Maybe that's why everyone watched it because all the girls like, oh,
Speaker 1: I think something.
Speaker 3: I mean, it was cid little hand and stuff. But
Speaker 3: I haven't watched Obi Wan yet.
Speaker 2: It should it's good.
Speaker 1: It's I think it's better than Mandalorian th another Heart take,
Speaker 1: better than Mandlorian.
Speaker 3: A bit more happened.
Speaker 2: There's one of Dart.
Speaker 1: Okay, it's already kind of out there for your first
Speaker 1: few episodes, but Darth Vader's involved. Therefore you have to
Speaker 1: to b like kind of you know, characters of Star
Speaker 1: Wars against each other, and so that's like young like
Speaker 1: Darth that is like darkest. I think he's like thirty.
Speaker 1: You're probably thirty. Let's go kicking it.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Anakin Skar Wars thirty.
Speaker 3: Lives in a studio apartment.
Speaker 1: Down in the Bronx it'sue every day.
Speaker 2: No, So it's it's a great show man. I think
Speaker 2: it's like if you're a bit of a Star Wars.
Speaker 1: Fan or even not like fully into the full Star
Speaker 1: Wars thing, like, but you have an understanding of the
Speaker 1: kind of like the storyline where it's at, it's actually
Speaker 1: really really good man.
Speaker 2: You need to get into it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's what I found, like I liked about these.
Speaker 3: It was like, you don't have to be like a
Speaker 3: hard OD fan or whatever. You can just get into it.
Speaker 3: It's like one of those episodic things that you can
Speaker 3: watch episode by especially the last one where he's just
Speaker 3: doing nothing. You don't have to know anything to know
Speaker 3: that he's not doing anything. But and then the other
Speaker 3: one that you mentioned was Stranger Things, Now I dropped
Speaker 3: off I think a season ago.
Speaker 1: No, no, season three dropped off. Yeah, it's brought in
Speaker 1: the Russians. Yes, Jesus, that's going today.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so so what how many episodes are out of this?
Speaker 1: They dropped the whole thing or I think they've dropped
Speaker 1: all the episodes all at once, your Binger, I'm a
Speaker 1: two episode venture and I'll do it one cooking. So
Speaker 1: I'm not a fool like like OBI want, I'll sit
Speaker 1: there and I'll watch the whole thing like I'm full. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Game of is the same, but strange things like I'll
Speaker 1: probably watch the episodes multiple times.
Speaker 2: I've kind of been in and out.
Speaker 1: But it is very dark. Stranger Things has like gotten
Speaker 1: very gruesome. The kids are a bit like some of
Speaker 1: the horror stuff is like that's like it's a proper
Speaker 1: horror movie.
Speaker 2: It was kind of like kids coming around.
Speaker 1: Now there's a little like demons here and there, and
Speaker 1: there's an upside down all couple and then now it's
Speaker 1: like people are properly like getting next broken, which is
Speaker 1: like insane.
Speaker 3: This is scary.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't watch it with kids. Yeah, I wouldn't watch
Speaker 1: it with If I had kids, I would not allow
Speaker 1: them to see it. That's what I'll say. So it's
Speaker 1: it is dark, but it is good. I will say
Speaker 1: it's good. It's cool to see them kind of grow
Speaker 1: up through a series, you know, obviously like being very
Speaker 1: young kids is say like the first season all to
Speaker 1: where there are now or they'll probably shoot they're probably
Speaker 1: twenty one.
Speaker 3: Now, Stranger Things twelve.
Speaker 2: Yeah, now we'll get down there.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be one of those things will probably kill
Speaker 1: it to instead, but we'll move on to the next sement.
Speaker 2: It's simple pleasures in life.
Speaker 3: I like this one.
Speaker 1: This is a good one. This is the one I
Speaker 1: really enjoy. And we're all about positivity here.
Speaker 3: We're all about it down on like the negatives.
Speaker 1: There is a lot around there. There's a lot of
Speaker 1: headlines on a negative mants. So we're gonna get a
Speaker 1: simple pleasure in life. What do you have from Brandon?
Speaker 3: I actually did this one this morning, and I swear
Speaker 3: by it. This is my favorite thing to do, especially
Speaker 3: on a Monday morning, if you're going to like amplify
Speaker 3: your simple pleasure. Monday morning, you wake up, it's cold
Speaker 3: as shit at the moment, whatever you're gonna wear, you
Speaker 3: just so you get your jocks and maybe your shirt
Speaker 3: and pants if you can, but one hundred percent of
Speaker 3: your jocks as soon as you wake up, chuck them
Speaker 3: in the dryer, crank on the heat, start that process.
Speaker 2: Just your jocks.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, if you can do the whole kid, But
Speaker 3: sometimes I don't plan kids, so I just do the
Speaker 3: jocks and then eat rerecky, have a shower, get out
Speaker 3: of the shower, jocks out of the dryer, the nice
Speaker 3: slide them on, nice crispy warm jocks on a cold,
Speaker 3: cold winter's morning.
Speaker 2: Crispy sounds a bit.
Speaker 3: They shouldn't probably be crispy.
Speaker 1: It's like I've got a little simple pleasure. I've got
Speaker 1: two here, but like my kind of you know, hot jocks.
Speaker 2: It is getting weird. Is a heated blanket or electric miket?
Speaker 2: That thing? I bought one the other day. I'm telling
Speaker 2: you It's changed my life in these cold nights.
Speaker 1: It is the best thing to just snuggle up, like
Speaker 1: first thing you get into bad and it's all nice
Speaker 1: and warm. Is nothing better but my simple pleasure in life.
Speaker 1: And this is why I don't know if you do this,
Speaker 1: but I'm a bit of a bit o c D.
Speaker 1: I'm very cleanly person. I like things in order, and
Speaker 1: I like things in their place. And whenever I go
Speaker 1: to fill my car with gas ers you'll call it
Speaker 1: petrol put gas in there. I know it makes no sense.
Speaker 1: I actually agree with you on that one, which is
Speaker 1: one of the very small hot takes. I do agree
Speaker 1: with everything.
Speaker 3: Kilometers from the metric system, get.
Speaker 1: Around hook turns. That's all I'm trying to say. But
Speaker 1: whenever you fill the tank. I don't know if you
Speaker 1: do this, but I try to get it on the zero.
Speaker 1: I try to get like perfectly zero zero at the bottom,
Speaker 1: and whenever I do, it's a little win that really
Speaker 1: makes my day. I'm telling you, the little just like
Speaker 1: if it's I think my car is, it's huge. It's
Speaker 1: like one hundred and forty dollars, hundred fifty dollars fill
Speaker 1: the whole thing up. Yeah, if I get it to
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty zero zero, I am seriously like
Speaker 1: dancing at the pomp. It's ridiculous, Like it is the
Speaker 1: best feeling for the week.
Speaker 3: I think the flip side is if you're like trying
Speaker 3: to get double zeros and you go like one hundred
Speaker 3: and fifty and two cents.
Speaker 1: Oh yes, that's real depressing.
Speaker 3: It kills me.
Speaker 1: You go, you go like maybe like ninety eight, and
Speaker 1: then you go squirk, it goes oh oh too.
Speaker 3: You're like just starts splashing it on the ground trying
Speaker 3: to get that. But yeah, I know, I like that.
Speaker 3: I think it should be a reoccurring thing. Post them.
Speaker 3: If you got simple pleasures, say some simple pleasures and
Speaker 3: we'll try them out. I swear if you go and
Speaker 3: put your jocks in the dryer, hit them up, nice
Speaker 3: crispy jocks, pull them out and snap them onn.
Speaker 1: We'll get some feedback from the audience. We'll put it
Speaker 1: on socials. We'll get your simple pleasures in life, and well,
Speaker 1: I'm excited for that. I think there'll be quite a few.
Speaker 1: They'll be kind of unique that like we always probably
Speaker 1: take for granted but don't really realize it.
Speaker 2: So we'll put it on socials. Have a look for it.
Speaker 1: We'll put it out there, and we're excited to get
Speaker 1: your comments on that one, to see what you guys enjoy.
Speaker 1: The next one, awkward moments. Have you had any awkward
Speaker 1: moments in the last two weeks?
Speaker 3: In the last two weeks, none that spring to mind.
Speaker 3: I'd like avoid awkward moments like the plague, like I
Speaker 3: don't deal well with awkward moments. I actually have a
Speaker 3: couple that just sprung to mind.
Speaker 2: Okay, here we go.
Speaker 3: Oh Man, when I was a kid, Christmas Day, we
Speaker 3: went to my cousin's house and there's all these presents
Speaker 3: under the tree. Yeah, and I thought they were all
Speaker 3: mine selfish, So I went and I was just like
Speaker 3: opening all of these presents and then I went up
Speaker 3: to my mom. I was like, they me like a
Speaker 3: drink cooler and like a princess dog. I was like,
Speaker 3: what did they not know me at all? And They're
Speaker 3: like they were presents for the whole family, and like
Speaker 3: did they we wrap them all?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 3: It was like, oh, well, I guess brains brain is
Speaker 3: a grinch, Like, well, there goes a surprise. Yeah, you
Speaker 3: got a drink cooler. Not stellar presence anyway, but I always.
Speaker 1: Had one I'm not going to say who they are,
Speaker 1: but I always had one person that like would always
Speaker 1: give me the weirdest presence every year.
Speaker 2: I don't know if you have that, like family member
Speaker 2: would just.
Speaker 1: Give me like a frisbee something that I was like
Speaker 1: twenty one years old and they give me a frisbee
Speaker 1: And I'm like, did you just go to a rand
Speaker 1: I'm like Kmart and be like, he'll do that's when
Speaker 1: you well in the dark frisbee just when he wanted
Speaker 1: this Christmas.
Speaker 3: You're buying stuff that you want. It's like yeah, it's
Speaker 3: like I love Frisbee. I'll buy this and hope he
Speaker 3: hates it and then I get to keep the Frisbee,
Speaker 3: what about you.
Speaker 1: Aqua moments, Man, I had an acamoma this way, and
Speaker 1: I feel like this probably happens to a lot of people.
Speaker 1: And then like, let's say, let's put ourselves in a situation. Right,
Speaker 1: Let's let's set the story up. You go to a
Speaker 1: meeting with someone, You sit down, you have an hour
Speaker 1: chat talking about business, whoever it is.
Speaker 2: You leave it.
Speaker 1: You go, it's great seeing you. You know, shake the hand,
Speaker 1: We'll catch you later. Next thing you know, they're walking
Speaker 1: the same direction as you, and I've gone like they
Speaker 1: left first, and then I've gone, what do I just
Speaker 1: kind of own this or do I stalk them ten
Speaker 1: meters behind? I don't know how to go about this
Speaker 1: situation here, So I kind of like waited, like I
Speaker 1: just sat there and just waited, like they.
Speaker 2: Parked like right next to me, like right next to
Speaker 2: my car.
Speaker 1: And I said that I just waited for them outside
Speaker 1: like an absolute idiot, and just like act like I
Speaker 1: was texting, just.
Speaker 2: So I wouldn't have to follow him.
Speaker 1: And I have that awkward walk behind him, creepy like
Speaker 1: kind of oh, we're going the same direction.
Speaker 3: This is an odd lock saying that like your walking
Speaker 3: gate is like what five meters.
Speaker 2: It's a slow jog from us.
Speaker 3: You could just five steps and you'd be at the
Speaker 3: end of the block and it's like it's not a problem.
Speaker 1: Right, yeah, well yeah, step counter and that's so great.
Speaker 2: Just discovered one case steps ten to it.
Speaker 3: And then one more on this because that one just
Speaker 3: sprung to mind, because it's like now it's like this
Speaker 3: is therapy and it's all start. But I don't know
Speaker 3: if anyone's done this, and god, I hope someone else
Speaker 3: is done. It's just me and it's freaking weird. But
Speaker 3: like when you're in primary school, hopefully you're in primary school.
Speaker 3: If you did this high school, I'd just leave. I
Speaker 3: wouldn't come back. But when you're in primary school and
Speaker 3: you go to yell out to the teacher, but you
Speaker 3: yell out mum instead Mom. No, how old were you?
Speaker 3: I reckon I was like grade four, which is still
Speaker 3: pretty up there, but I vividly remember and I covered it.
Speaker 3: This is my cover, So like want the teacher and
Speaker 3: I go mom, and then everyone looks at me. So
Speaker 3: I pretend we had like the windows that let it
Speaker 3: like looked out over the street, and I just pretend
Speaker 3: didn't like I saw my mum walk past and I
Speaker 3: like started doing this like wave thing like over the road,
Speaker 3: and I was like, I went up to the window.
Speaker 3: I was like, mom ah, must mustn't have seen me.
Speaker 3: Then I just went back to my seat and just died.
Speaker 1: And he's like, yah, been one hour without her.
Speaker 3: Oh well, I don't do things.
Speaker 1: Say you're a sheltered child right now.
Speaker 3: That's why I don't interact with people.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, if you did that in high school, I
Speaker 1: think we'd have some real shit.
Speaker 3: And you're like seventeen or something, it's like, maybe get over.
Speaker 2: Way too larg She's great.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So I don't deal with deal with that awkward
Speaker 3: moments at all, clearly as I just as I just.
Speaker 1: Said, that's that's a great way to finish the aquad
Speaker 1: Moments segment. I'm gonna put that up on socials too.
Speaker 1: Who knows, or go to the next segment, controversial, take
Speaker 1: the whole podcast. The whole podcast is very controversial. That's
Speaker 1: what we're here for. But I'll start off on this
Speaker 1: one because I've got a This is I think a
Speaker 1: sign of me getting old, and I don't know if
Speaker 1: anyone else has had this realization maybe that's around the
Speaker 1: same age. But we grew up it was Facebook, right.
Speaker 1: Facebook was the cool thing, then turned into Instagram and Twitter.
Speaker 1: Now as an adult it's turned into LinkedIn.
Speaker 3: That's sad if.
Speaker 1: You know, like Facebook was like you look at it's
Speaker 1: like Facebook, like the whole name is, like I can't
Speaker 1: remember this person's name. I just met someone on Facebook.
Speaker 1: To go figure out what their name is, you mentioned them.
Speaker 1: You're matching up of who I just met. That's now
Speaker 1: LinkedIn for me, which is like a business platform. I
Speaker 1: just stick to my guns here. I think LinkedIn very undervalued.
Speaker 1: It comes to figure out.
Speaker 3: Who LinkedIn went for a future life partner, have a
Speaker 3: good job, what's career history? Like where's the little bio
Speaker 3: about themselves and stuff?
Speaker 2: That's what's the what's the work life.
Speaker 3: You can't just settle for anyone. It's got to be
Speaker 3: the right person.
Speaker 1: I think we maybe have too much information out there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: in the public.
Speaker 3: I'm just linking in now is that what they call it?
Speaker 3: I'm linking in.
Speaker 2: I create the profile.
Speaker 3: Yeah it is, it is, and I'm just slowly catching up.
Speaker 3: But it kills me. I'm like, I'm trying to become
Speaker 3: a linked in person, but it's they're a type of people,
Speaker 3: and I've as.
Speaker 1: A creative, I think it's a very different take.
Speaker 3: I've ranted about this to my mates endless amount of times,
Speaker 3: like it'll be like, you know, I went to the
Speaker 3: store and bought some bread, but it'll be like spun
Speaker 3: into the biggest life accomplishment of all time. It's like,
Speaker 3: thank you for the absolute privilege that I had today
Speaker 3: to come into Cohls to collect the bread. What you
Speaker 3: guys do is God's work, and the synergy in which
Speaker 3: you perform is a high performance, Like shut up, I
Speaker 3: should just talk normal. And but I've since I've linked in,
Speaker 3: I've started to become that person. Like my vernacular is like,
Speaker 3: oh my god, the privilege of sitting down with Mason Cox,
Speaker 3: a once in a generation athlete, has really enlightened my
Speaker 3: life and soul and I feel cleansed and I can
Speaker 3: now leave this earth a happy man. Thank you, Mason.
Speaker 2: I think that's any truth to it.
Speaker 1: But I find it amazing that people like some of
Speaker 1: the descriptions of their roles, Like if someone is like
Speaker 1: front desk and you'll be like, it's like chief operations
Speaker 1: manager of the Collingwood Football clubs, you know, front office,
Speaker 1: and it's like you just are the welcome person, Like
Speaker 1: I don't know, don't go down there. Like people really
Speaker 1: beef up the profiles.
Speaker 3: My controversial take, and I might get deplatformed for.
Speaker 2: This, your comfit criticism for this.
Speaker 3: Yeah you know the beach. Yeah, well watched the beach.
Speaker 3: Y sucks and hear me out. You know, you know wind,
Speaker 3: wind is shiit right, you know, sands gets in everything. Well,
Speaker 3: if you just want to go where it's like windy
Speaker 3: and there's just sand, and then people are like, oh man,
Speaker 3: but the views at the beach, it's like there's nothing there, dude,
Speaker 3: you're looking out over the abyss. Well, what are you
Speaker 3: looking at the horizon? Great, so you're just getting all
Speaker 3: pounded by sand and wind. People like me get burnt
Speaker 3: to a bloody Christ's like, yeah, I love the beach.
Speaker 3: You roll back, You're like your skin's like leather because
Speaker 3: you've been melted to the freaking ground. And it's like,
Speaker 3: oh great, now I got to like wash sand out
Speaker 3: of my hair for the next fortnight. Sick.
Speaker 2: I can't agree on that.
Speaker 3: I tell me something that's wrong with what I said.
Speaker 2: I agree that.
Speaker 1: Okay, I agree on this, but the sand is annoying.
Speaker 1: I will agree with that. But the beach is a
Speaker 1: beautiful place I like. I think there's few things in life.
Speaker 1: I could sit there and listen to and watch every
Speaker 1: day and it is a roaring fire and waves crashing
Speaker 1: in the ocean. I could do that for hours on end.
Speaker 3: Maybe that's my problem. Sank Kilda Beach doesn't have waves crashing,
Speaker 3: and I think.
Speaker 1: The fact that you're calling Saint Kilda Beach is probably
Speaker 1: your problem, Brandon. There's way better beaches in this world
Speaker 1: than Saint Kilda, where it's literally just a sewage pit.
Speaker 3: Oh jeez, hot take, hot take.
Speaker 1: I literally think there was a headline while I've been
Speaker 1: here in Australia that sewage was going into Saint Kilda's beach.
Speaker 1: Like this is not something that's new.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well I can. The only thing I can get
Speaker 3: around at the beach is like the aura of the beach.
Speaker 3: I like jogging alongside the beach. I like, you know,
Speaker 3: you get a cuffe, you got the dog, you do
Speaker 3: all that salt water sucks, so it's like it's all together.
Speaker 3: It's like gin and tonic. Gin sucks.
Speaker 2: It sucks.
Speaker 3: It sucks, and you put them together, it's all right.
Speaker 3: I like it, but yeah, that's that's my heart take
Speaker 3: and you can't change my mind.
Speaker 1: Very controversial, I'm not I'm not sold on it, but
Speaker 1: I'm halfway sold. We go to the next bit. We're
Speaker 1: gonna implement this next part. It's gonna be called Coxy's Challenge.
Speaker 1: Now we're gonna put stuffut to socials. Is where we
Speaker 1: want to get engagement from everyone. We want to get
Speaker 1: comments about what you think should be a challenge that
Speaker 1: we have to do in the next two weeks. Catch
Speaker 1: up with Coxi's gonna come out every two weeks. We'll
Speaker 1: have an interview in between. So within the next two
Speaker 1: weeks we have to do a challenge, challenge anything. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna leave it open ended to the people, and this
Speaker 1: is probably gonna backfire. I'm not gonna lie right, and
Speaker 1: this is.
Speaker 3: Gonna be a bad one. You're gonna be like, no,
Speaker 3: that Coxy's Challenge, and it's gonna.
Speaker 1: Be something I can't do in the media, but you can.
Speaker 1: And we're gonna send this out to everyone. We're gonna
Speaker 1: put on social So I want everyone to.
Speaker 2: Go out there.
Speaker 1: If you're listening to this, go check out Instagram for Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, TikTok,
Speaker 1: whoever it is.
Speaker 2: Put on there.
Speaker 1: What you want a challenge to be, and we're going
Speaker 1: to try to complete it and we'll put out some
Speaker 1: maybe social posts to try to show you that we
Speaker 1: have completed this challenge by one person over these next
Speaker 1: two weeks.
Speaker 2: So looking looking forward to that.
Speaker 3: I like it.
Speaker 1: Kind of nervous about that more or anything, but yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a good little thing to engage the engagement from
Speaker 1: everyone else and be able to kind of be a
Speaker 1: community here. So really looking forward to that one. And
Speaker 1: another one we're going to do is one of probably
Speaker 1: the last little segments is going to be tell me something.
Speaker 3: Are you looking forward to something that I'm looking forward to?
Speaker 3: We can we announce who we did the next podcast.
Speaker 3: This is hot because this is a hot it's like
Speaker 3: breaking news. Take her on the well you know you
Speaker 3: do it. You interviewed the great man.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the great manage. We have a little.
Speaker 1: The next episode of The Mason cock Show is with
Speaker 1: one of the greatest comedians of all time in Australia,
Speaker 1: Peter Heller.
Speaker 2: Legend.
Speaker 1: Hell he he's on the project. I was doing some
Speaker 1: amazing things. Strohnnie Shrawnie, gotta love Stohnnie, and we'll have
Speaker 1: a great little tribute to Stronnie. And I think it
Speaker 1: might be an alter ego for me. I'm not really
Speaker 1: too sure yet, but it's going to be classic. It
Speaker 1: involves me a mullet and the cowboy hat and that's
Speaker 1: about as much detail is.
Speaker 2: Going to give you.
Speaker 3: A We need a name for the altar we do.
Speaker 1: That will be next podcast. We'll figure we'll play that
Speaker 1: in somewhere. But yeah, he's gonna be the next one on.
Speaker 1: So he's what you're looking forward to.
Speaker 3: That to that dropping because it's cool. We released the
Speaker 3: Deal podcast and had awesome feedback.
Speaker 2: So good. I'm so grateful for it from everything.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the feedback, the reviews, the comments, the shares, the everything.
Speaker 3: So that was awesome because we kind of didn't know
Speaker 3: what was going to happen. So the fact that it
Speaker 3: came out and everyone really enjoyed it is awesome. So
Speaker 3: I'm hoping for more of the same. What about you.
Speaker 1: I've got my parents come in town next week Friday.
Speaker 1: Filthy Phil Cox.
Speaker 3: Filthy Phil gets a big gun. He's everywhere he is.
Speaker 1: If you iron't on him Twitter, Phil Coxs is your
Speaker 1: one eight? I think it was a Twitter handle check
Speaker 1: it out. Hilarious. He he actually knows about more more
Speaker 1: about Collingwood than I do, which is the game mate. Seriously,
Speaker 1: he should be on Channel seven. Stuff the way and
Speaker 1: carries everything else. Phil Cox commentated game I'm telling you
Speaker 1: Lundy will be filming the boundary be absurd.
Speaker 3: Great. Instead of roaming Brian, it's roaming Phield and he
Speaker 3: just gets around the rooms man.
Speaker 2: That would be, That would be amazing.
Speaker 3: He get starstruck as he met players.
Speaker 2: Stars.
Speaker 1: Well, I assume I'm his favorite player, but if you
Speaker 1: probably ask him outside of me being in the room,
Speaker 1: then he's probably going to say someone like burning around
Speaker 1: here or something. But he loves it. He's all about
Speaker 1: He's on Twitter. He watches every single game. The NFL
Speaker 1: afl over is. He watches every game Calumber plays. It's wild,
Speaker 1: Like even if I'm playing ANFL He'll watched the VFL
Speaker 1: game that week at like two am in the morning.
Speaker 3: He just loves because I've seen him comment on like
Speaker 3: this player played well, this player in the seconds whatever
Speaker 3: played well. Yeah, he's around and he.
Speaker 1: Also like loves chatting to other people online and god By,
Speaker 1: I'm sure he's probably seen some flak that's been thrown
Speaker 1: at me over the years.
Speaker 2: Yeah, loves it. He loves it.
Speaker 3: Like they got some serious screen time, like when you're
Speaker 3: playing your first game and stuff. They basically had a
Speaker 3: camera on I'm in the in the stands.
Speaker 1: They were walking down as a grandfa on twenty eighteen.
Speaker 1: They're telling the story. They're walking down Swan Street before
Speaker 1: the game people started chanting USA and following to them
Speaker 1: to the MGG, like walk them all the way to
Speaker 1: the MGG.
Speaker 2: USA like a mark. Yes.
Speaker 1: So they're just like it was just my mom and
Speaker 1: my brothers, like they were more popular than I was.
Speaker 3: I think you should just stick around.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well I think he wants to. My mother probably doesn't.
Speaker 1: If he could stay here, he probably would. We'll get
Speaker 1: to the next one. Top news headlines. This is gonna
Speaker 1: be a bit fun because there's a lot of things
Speaker 1: like I think of Australian I think of the NT news,
Speaker 1: give the headlines and some of the ridiculous newspaper he
Speaker 1: puts out there.
Speaker 3: It's working and they're like getting through to you.
Speaker 1: Don't get me wrong, Harold's sign also does some pretty
Speaker 1: just terrible punny headlines and like credit to them because
Speaker 1: it takes it's like a dad joke essentially some of
Speaker 1: these things. But the news is I think the gold standard. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they are next level because some of the stuff that
Speaker 1: happens up there is just disbelief around the world.
Speaker 3: I feel like they get to push the bar a
Speaker 3: bit more like the Yeah, they're a bit looser up there.
Speaker 1: One of these we have is is something that's happened
Speaker 1: recently where a protester I think it was, came into
Speaker 1: was the loover where the Mona Lisa is. Yeah, dressed
Speaker 1: up as a grandmother in a wheelchair, Yeah, rolled around
Speaker 1: and then smeared cake on the Mono Lisa.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Well yeah, originally tried to break the bulletproof glass.
Speaker 2: With just definitely didn't do his research there research.
Speaker 3: Cold bulletproof glass.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the most famous painting in the world. Do you
Speaker 1: think it's going to be able to punch it?
Speaker 3: Like to the gun shows, not these guns.
Speaker 2: It was a skinny fello with her but yeah.
Speaker 3: Wiped cake all over the glass before being kind of
Speaker 3: dragged out of the loof.
Speaker 1: This is interesting because this has happened a few times now,
Speaker 1: we've had the French shopper and the woman you know,
Speaker 1: tying herself to the net doing a bit of I
Speaker 1: forget what she was actually trying to promote.
Speaker 2: But there's another thing.
Speaker 1: I mean the Brisbane Grand Fa we had people running
Speaker 1: out onto the field and kicking a ball and like
Speaker 1: I remember, the actually landed in like our box and
Speaker 1: I grabbed the footy after they kicked it and it
Speaker 1: had like their handle and stuff, and they got obviously
Speaker 1: thrown out and probably arrested.
Speaker 3: But what do you think of that? This is like
Speaker 3: clout chasing. It's different if I feel like, if it's
Speaker 3: you know, for a cause, I can kind of get
Speaker 3: around it, depending on what the cause is, obviously, but
Speaker 3: just for like clout it's like you're wasting everyone's time.
Speaker 1: I'll say this, if a person goes out and this
Speaker 1: is bar streaking, I don't think i'd do this so streaking.
Speaker 1: But if a person comes out and they're being an
Speaker 1: idiot running on the field like and they come near me,
Speaker 1: they're getting the shoulder to the chest like they are
Speaker 1: going to get laid out by yours. Truly, there's no
Speaker 1: doubt I will pin them to the ground, put their
Speaker 1: hands behind their back and wait till the security gets
Speaker 1: there and make them look like an idiot.
Speaker 3: Yeah that's fair.
Speaker 1: I mean I think that's for again, like I as
Speaker 1: an entertainer of like, I would not get in trouble
Speaker 1: for literally just taking a guy's head off.
Speaker 2: That's walking around the MCG.
Speaker 3: Yeah, like and most you should get a talking too.
Speaker 3: But it's like if they're if they're out there, they're
Speaker 3: putting themselves in harm's way. That's there.
Speaker 2: You cross our line.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're an arena bro, and anything goes, I tackles
Speaker 1: everything else or not.
Speaker 2: But the other one is kind of crazy. Man. Look
Speaker 2: what was the headline? Hold on the headline.
Speaker 1: Here we've got is US tech company proposes Taser arm
Speaker 1: drones to stop school shootings. This is a bit of
Speaker 1: a change of just angle here, because obviously there's a
Speaker 1: massive problem in the US right now with school shootings
Speaker 1: and mass shootings in general. It is obnoxious, it's terrifying,
Speaker 1: it's dreadful, it's disgusting. As an American, it's it's truly embarrassing.
Speaker 1: The way it's gotten, how bad it's gotten, is just
Speaker 1: crazy to think it's, you know, a safety reason of
Speaker 1: why or not you're going to send your kids to
Speaker 1: school and be able to see him by the end
Speaker 1: of the days. Gotten to the point where it's just
Speaker 1: I think, like it's ridiculous.
Speaker 3: Yeah, how are we?
Speaker 2: How are we here? I don't know, it's insane, But I.
Speaker 1: Can look at this and I think of this, and
Speaker 1: I want to have to say because I like, obviously
Speaker 1: it's such a hot top in the US and everyone's
Speaker 1: talking about this and they're like, I'll show he's doing
Speaker 1: a stand because they're like, we don't have guns here,
Speaker 1: you know, which you do have guns here for like
Speaker 1: some people, but they're highly regulated.
Speaker 3: And you don't you don't see them. You're not as visible. Yeah,
Speaker 3: you just don't see them.
Speaker 1: But in Texas there's all kinds of stuff like I like,
Speaker 1: I remember I went to school in Oklahoma, Like I
Speaker 1: had three roommates, all of mad guns. One of them
Speaker 1: had I think like four shotguns, the other two had
Speaker 1: pistols in their nightstands. And I don't even know a bat.
Speaker 1: I think I was on the other side of the
Speaker 1: house or something like, I didn't have anything. But it
Speaker 1: was just normalized and it's like growing up like just
Speaker 1: guns around is somewhat normalized in the US, and not
Speaker 1: everywhere in the US, but specifically where I grew up
Speaker 1: in Texas definitely, and that's where a lot of these
Speaker 1: shootings are actually happening. But the fact that an eighteen
Speaker 1: year old can go to anywhere and buy a semi
Speaker 1: automatic weapon.
Speaker 3: Two he brought to this kid in particular.
Speaker 1: Is absurd. Can you imagine that at eighteen, Like you
Speaker 1: can't even drink in the US, but you're allowed to
Speaker 1: buy a semi automatic gun and do whatever you please
Speaker 1: with it. Well, yeah, without any restriction.
Speaker 3: Just the ease that you can kind of get access
Speaker 3: to this stuff. Like I remember when we were in
Speaker 3: the States and it was like just going into Walmart
Speaker 3: by a gun, you can buy AMMO, you can buy
Speaker 3: all of that stuff. And I feel like every time
Speaker 3: there's one of these shootings, everyone gets caught up in
Speaker 3: the in the States side of things. Everyone gets caught
Speaker 3: up in the semantics of like the whole thing. It's like, oh,
Speaker 3: should it be these types of bullets or this cartridge
Speaker 3: or this like stock or whatever. And its like from
Speaker 3: the outside looking in the rest of the world is
Speaker 3: just saying like it's pretty clear cut, like there's clear
Speaker 3: examples of the change that's happened in other countries, whether
Speaker 3: it's you know, Canada, Australia, there's the UK. There's plenty
Speaker 3: of examples of like gun bands coming in and it
Speaker 3: having a massive effect. But you know, the US kind
Speaker 3: of seems pretty insula like they kind of like look say,
Speaker 3: look inwards, whether that's every cis them like prison system,
Speaker 3: healthcare system, education system. But back to like the gun issue,
Speaker 3: surely a lot of it comes down to the culture
Speaker 3: of it and growing up with guns, and you know,
Speaker 3: even being over there, the way that like veterans are
Speaker 3: like overly not overly praised, but like it's a real
Speaker 3: front and center thing is very much a thing you're
Speaker 3: the first on planes, everyone's like congratulating you and stuff
Speaker 3: like that, whereas here it's everything's really understated, even when
Speaker 3: it comes to like we'll have ANZAC Day and stuff
Speaker 3: like that, and but like really understated things. It just
Speaker 3: feels like the culture of it is really different, and
Speaker 3: I can I can't really imagine give us a bit
Speaker 3: of an insight on like the culture of it specifically
Speaker 3: in Texas as opposed to like everywhere.
Speaker 1: Texas is a place so Texas is a place that
Speaker 1: people don't like to be told what to do, and
Speaker 1: that's the simple facts of it. I think taxes is
Speaker 1: a very kind of stubborn way of living. Like they're very,
Speaker 1: very caring towards each other and there's somewhat of an
Speaker 1: Australian kind of like care factor towards each other in
Speaker 1: that sense. But if anyone tries to tell what Texas
Speaker 1: wants to, like, what they should do, I mean you
Speaker 1: look at the abortion laws, you look at everything going on,
Speaker 1: like Texas is always at the center of everything because
Speaker 1: they refuse to say, like to refuse to agree with
Speaker 1: everyone essentially, and that's kind of one of the issues
Speaker 1: I think, like the gun laws thing like everyone goes, oh,
Speaker 1: why don't use band guns? So well, it's not as
Speaker 1: easy as that, Like you can't just you look at
Speaker 1: what's happening the last I mean, you've had a literally
Speaker 1: a riot at the capitol of the Sedge, which is crazy,
Speaker 1: like insane. I still am blown away that actually happened. Also,
Speaker 1: But you can't just go from one extreme to another,
Speaker 1: like there has to be a subtle chipping away of
Speaker 1: the ability to buy guns and am and everything else
Speaker 1: to the point where you create these restrictions smaller, smaller,
Speaker 1: smaller impimications that eventually you get to the point where
Speaker 1: you don't you need a massive amount of regulation to
Speaker 1: be able to get a gun. Yea. And you'll get
Speaker 1: to that over a certain money years. But you can't
Speaker 1: just go from Okay, we're gonna go people have guns
Speaker 1: to now people can't have guns, because what's gonna happen
Speaker 1: is people are gonna lose their FM mark get right.
Speaker 2: And that's just the Cold Hord facts.
Speaker 1: But I think the biggest thing that needs to happen
Speaker 1: now is we need to start implementing things where if
Speaker 1: you do want to get a gun, you have to
Speaker 1: be you know, assessed, or you have to have a
Speaker 1: proper you know, safety protocol or whatever it is. You
Speaker 1: had to start implementing these things as a guaranteed to
Speaker 1: be able to get a gun or be able to
Speaker 1: buy a gun. You have to start implementing these things
Speaker 1: slowly over the process, over a certain amount of years,
Speaker 1: and then you can kind of get to a place
Speaker 1: where it's highly regular and heavily restricted, like it is
Speaker 1: here in Australia.
Speaker 3: But is that I guess a lot of gun owners
Speaker 3: and people that are right into it, they think it's
Speaker 3: like a slippery slope. Yeah, well, like once you start that,
Speaker 3: the next thing is going to be banning all guns,
Speaker 3: whether it's like banning some guns, like if the hot
Speaker 3: topic is like banning the AR fifteen or whatever, because
Speaker 3: it's you know, the go to gun for these like
Speaker 3: mass shootings. Like, is there a step that can be
Speaker 3: even more watered down than that, or is that it
Speaker 3: kind of just has to happen. It's really the only
Speaker 3: next step because everything besides that is like, let's take
Speaker 3: away this specific stock and stuff that doesn't do anything,
Speaker 3: It doesn't accomplish anything.
Speaker 1: It's I don't like, I'm not gonna sit here and
Speaker 1: say I've got the perfect formula. First thing, to be honest,
Speaker 1: I think the first thing is you have to ban
Speaker 1: semi automatics. That's the easy thing. That's like the first stepping,
Speaker 1: soone that I think a lot of people would agree with.
Speaker 1: Like it's yeah, there's gonna be some people that are
Speaker 1: upset that. And I know people obviously serve in the
Speaker 1: military and they have different types of guns from you
Speaker 1: know AR fifteen's to AK forty sevens or whatever it is.
Speaker 1: And like pistols and everything else, and they are people
Speaker 1: that are highly trained in these things, like they have that,
Speaker 1: But the fact that they have the same availability to
Speaker 1: get a gun as someone who's a team is zero regulations,
Speaker 1: zero understanding of how a gun works is absurd. So
Speaker 1: I think the biggest step is first semi automatics and
Speaker 1: then being able to have everything registered. If you buy something,
Speaker 1: you are properly put into a system that shows you
Speaker 1: know what you've bought recently, you know how much of
Speaker 1: it you've bought, and everything else, and there's a limit
Speaker 1: to everything. Yeah, Like that needs to be the biggest thing.
Speaker 1: And then from there you kind of start implementing these
Speaker 1: regulations slowly over the years to the point where you
Speaker 1: get to what not necessarily you go to the extent
Speaker 1: of what Australia has, because I think they will probably
Speaker 1: scare a lot of Americans, But I think you need
Speaker 1: to slowly be able to restrict these things over a
Speaker 1: longer period of time to get to something that's at
Speaker 1: least agreeable to the point that these I'm not having
Speaker 1: to read a damn headline every single week saying that
Speaker 1: there's been another shooting in America. Its shits me. Well
Speaker 1: I can, I don't. I don't like try to cuss
Speaker 1: on this thing. But it is frustrating as hell. It is,
Speaker 1: and it's yeah, it's part of the culture. And I'm
Speaker 1: not sitting here. You know, I've met the President of
Speaker 1: the United States, but I'm not the president.
Speaker 2: Of the United States.
Speaker 1: And yeah, I don't think I'll see Australian June twenty second,
Speaker 1: boys and girls listen in.
Speaker 2: It's gonna be a great day.
Speaker 1: We'll jump off that though. And that's a bit of
Speaker 1: a heavy topic. I know of that, but it's something
Speaker 1: I think that, Uh, I get asked a lot about.
Speaker 1: I understand it's a it's a hot topic in Australia
Speaker 1: and there's plenty to cover there. I could talk on
Speaker 1: it for hours and hours. But that's That'll be the
Speaker 1: end of that. Well, we'll jump into the next part.
Speaker 1: Let's flip it around. We're going to go something extremely exciting.
Speaker 1: And this is why we have people tune into this.
Speaker 1: It's listeners questions.
Speaker 3: This is yeah, listeners questions and we put it out
Speaker 3: there after it was surprised it was actually me who
Speaker 3: did the post.
Speaker 1: I would have guessed people like os Mason tweeting during
Speaker 1: the game. I was like instagramming during the game.
Speaker 3: I was almost like sprinted off and just quickly got
Speaker 3: a knock out of posts. We put a post out
Speaker 3: asking for listeners questions and we got.
Speaker 2: A ton loved it.
Speaker 3: We got so many and they were really good, like
Speaker 3: it wasn't a lot of them were about the glasses
Speaker 3: when it started raining, but about half of about yees.
Speaker 3: So we'll jump into this. And apologies if I read
Speaker 3: your handle wrong, because there's some tricky ones in there.
Speaker 3: But we got Marissa Samuelson. She writes in what is
Speaker 3: your guilty Pleasure?
Speaker 1: My guilty pleasure to be honest, and I have this
Speaker 1: every single I know it's a sin living in Melbourne,
Speaker 1: but I'm not a coffee person. I'm actually a tea
Speaker 1: guy and I'm a big fiend for Tea two, which
Speaker 1: is a company made in Melbourne. Look, I'm supporting Aussie
Speaker 1: brands here.
Speaker 2: And the other day I.
Speaker 1: Went into a t too and this is probably show
Speaker 1: maybe we need to a sponsor of T two on board.
Speaker 3: I can't even believe it was a tatoo store, like
Speaker 3: you just go into too. Well, I don't know.
Speaker 1: None of them believed me. No one there had any
Speaker 1: idea who I was. I can guarantee you that you
Speaker 1: just settle it. And I spent three hundred dollars on tea.
Speaker 1: What's what's there's accessories, there's tea, there's big tens, there's
Speaker 1: a little tens, there's you can mix tease.
Speaker 2: It's it's a whole thing. It's it's a real gist.
Speaker 3: So what's the most expensive thing that you bought out of?
Speaker 1: Like the things I bought, like this big kind of
Speaker 1: tea jug that bruised it and it kind of does
Speaker 1: like a fruit tea.
Speaker 2: You know, you can have in the afternoon, real nice,
Speaker 2: it's beautiful.
Speaker 3: How many teats of the day you're drinking.
Speaker 1: Cops of tea? I'm probably going about four.
Speaker 3: I don't even know if that's good to bad. Do
Speaker 3: these things have caffeine? Now? I do have caffeine, So
Speaker 3: that's all right, that's not too bad. It's not like
Speaker 3: you're just okay, is it terrible? You know, it's just
Speaker 3: it's made from the earth.
Speaker 1: Therefore, if we won't go down, that's going to go.
Speaker 3: I drink the long Blacks because I figure, if you
Speaker 3: if you can work all your way up to long black.
Speaker 3: You can't have a bad coffee, like I can drink instant,
Speaker 3: I can drink from a servo, anything.
Speaker 2: Anything, guilty, pleasure, Kinder.
Speaker 3: Surprise, chocolate, but the egg, which is like, then you
Speaker 3: got the toy and stuff. Yeah, I guess I'll play
Speaker 3: with it. That's great, but yeah, just that chocolate. It
Speaker 3: has to be specifically that we got. The next one
Speaker 3: we got Christian Galia. How do you deal with criticism,
Speaker 3: your dickhead?
Speaker 1: It was just how do you deal with criticism?
Speaker 3: That was not the end, Yeah, said that.
Speaker 2: Now this is an interesting one.
Speaker 1: A lot of people ask me about this because for
Speaker 1: some reason Australian they are very polarizing, and I think
Speaker 1: it's maybe, I don't know, they just want people to
Speaker 1: fit in the footy box and not just so different
Speaker 1: from probably what anyone's used to being an American playing
Speaker 1: AFL and being the only one that does that. So,
Speaker 1: to be honest, a lot of people they see it
Speaker 1: on social media and this is a big thing, you know.
Speaker 1: And I won't say who specialist was, but a comedian
Speaker 1: once said Twitter is not a real place. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: this is what I think is ninety nine percent of
Speaker 1: people that troll me on Twitter or toll me on
Speaker 1: whatever social.
Speaker 2: Media platform which I don't even really see.
Speaker 1: To be honest, would not say that to my face
Speaker 1: if they were staying in front of me and saw
Speaker 1: a guy who's seven feet tall, and they would just say,
Speaker 1: you're shit at footy. Yeah, I think they would run
Speaker 1: the other way very quickly, brighton. Yeah, And that's kind
Speaker 1: of the way.
Speaker 2: Look, I'll look at this.
Speaker 1: Probably every person that says something like that, it is
Speaker 1: probably brought out of their mind that they have so
Speaker 1: much free time to go literally find me on socials,
Speaker 1: write something crap about me and then tag me in
Speaker 1: it as if it's going to hurt my feelings. Is
Speaker 1: someone who's probably about forty fifty years old living a
Speaker 1: mom's basement in some rule town. Yeah, that's like all on, Steve, Like,
Speaker 1: if you have that much free time, I shouldn't be
Speaker 1: worried about your opinion. You know.
Speaker 3: The other thing that I find funny is like you
Speaker 3: probably don't see most of this, So it's all these
Speaker 3: people just yelling into the void like they're just sitting
Speaker 3: at home just super frustrated.
Speaker 1: For whatever reason, people tell me stuff all the time,
Speaker 1: like like, did you hear something something I was like,
Speaker 1: I do not listen to media, Like a lot of
Speaker 1: media just kind of does not get get into my head,
Speaker 1: Like I just don't even see it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so that's another interesting one. So kay, Parker, what
Speaker 3: made you want to start the podcast?
Speaker 1: I actually throw this to you because you you and
Speaker 1: I've had a relationship for a long long time, like
Speaker 1: you originally worked at calling with football. Yeah, and we've
Speaker 1: been doing this for We've been wanting to do this
Speaker 1: for like three four years now. Yeah, this obviously you
Speaker 1: can talk about how you created this amazing fan that
Speaker 1: is rolling podcast. It's really mobile podcast, in studio, rolling studio,
Speaker 1: checking my own socials. This is something that's been a
Speaker 1: passion product. You can talk I'm like, I say talk
Speaker 1: about you can talk about it.
Speaker 3: I mean, it makes it just makes so much sense,
Speaker 3: doesn't it. If you look at the personalities from across
Speaker 3: the league. Not everyone can have a podcast. I just
Speaker 3: put that out there. But like, your story in general
Speaker 3: is so unique. We also got along, so that kind
Speaker 3: of helps. But you're also like you've gone outside of
Speaker 3: that bubble. I feel like you've broken outside of the
Speaker 3: a f L bubble and you can talk to kind
Speaker 3: of anyone about anything from travel to you know, cooking
Speaker 3: to grooming tips. I don't know, just putting out other
Speaker 3: potential podcast angles that we can go for. But yeah,
Speaker 3: I just thought it made a hell of a lot
Speaker 3: of sense. And yeah, coming off Jock and Journa talking
Speaker 3: with Pendles, Oh my god, is he still kicking around?
Speaker 2: Is he fine? Why?
Speaker 3: Yeah? No, I've been, yeah, pushing hard for this, but
Speaker 3: you're a busy man.
Speaker 2: It is a bit of a chaos.
Speaker 1: But we've got a few passion projects of working on,
Speaker 1: like we mentioned earlier in the podcast, that one, the
Speaker 1: international one.
Speaker 2: We're hustling and we're excited about this.
Speaker 1: We're trying to grow this as much as possible, to
Speaker 1: do a lot of work for this thing, and it's
Speaker 1: it's a credit to you. We're really thankful. We as
Speaker 1: in literally may because it's just us too. But you
Speaker 1: doing the socials and everything else.
Speaker 2: Awesome.
Speaker 3: I gotta payroll and everything that I've paid myself.
Speaker 2: Huge budget we need.
Speaker 1: But now, seriously, it's it's been awesome, Like these first
Speaker 1: few episodes have been so much fun. It's uh, it's
Speaker 1: been a great time. I really wish we had done
Speaker 1: this earlier to be honest.
Speaker 3: Well, I said, we're friends, but the next one could
Speaker 3: really split us up. Something that Australia does way better
Speaker 3: than the US and something that the US does way
Speaker 3: better than Australia.
Speaker 1: All Right, this one, I think you'll actually agree on this.
Speaker 1: I'll be honestly, bro, I think you'll agree on this one. Now,
Speaker 1: something that OZ does better in the US or Australia
Speaker 1: has been in the United States is mental health advocacy.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think here it is very much in front of you.
Speaker 1: It's very relevant to today, and I think there's a
Speaker 1: lot more attention to it here in Australia. Like in America,
Speaker 1: it's still pretty ruthless. You get kind of sports and
Speaker 1: stuff because there's so much money in it. People are
Speaker 1: just like, you know, you're getting paid x amount. Shut up,
Speaker 1: we don't care if you thinks. Shut up and dribble
Speaker 1: that whole kind of comment.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: Well, I think here with are Ukada and different like
Speaker 1: kind of you know, things along that line, there's a
Speaker 1: lot more attention towards mental health and more understanding towards it.
Speaker 1: Is there a long way to go, yes, of course,
Speaker 1: but I think there's a lot better understanding of mental
Speaker 1: health here in Australia than than America. But things that
Speaker 1: USA does better in Australia and we'll stay along. Sports
Speaker 1: entertainment aspects. I feel like you go to like a
Speaker 1: baseball game or football game, you know there's like halftime
Speaker 1: or quarter time or like there's so much stoppages in
Speaker 1: the US sports, but there's always something going on. There's
Speaker 1: always something for the kids to be involved in. There's
Speaker 1: some kind of dot race, or there's some guy like
Speaker 1: who's the flash running in the outfield or whatever.
Speaker 2: There's always something entertainment.
Speaker 1: There's guys a trampolines at the basketball game doing like
Speaker 1: six flips, doing a dunk. Like there's always something to
Speaker 1: keep you in your seat. Where in Melbourne it's like
Speaker 1: it's a core time. He's like halftime, you might ever
Speaker 1: get a beer and then you just kind of like
Speaker 1: sit around, talk to your mates whatever. There's nothing really
Speaker 1: Like you watch the kids watch ice kicking and essentially
Speaker 1: you pick out one kid and you go, this guy's
Speaker 1: going to be a gun.
Speaker 2: You're trying to.
Speaker 1: Find your one team, you know, like if you're you
Speaker 1: tell you find the team. In the little kick game,
Speaker 1: you look at and you're highly invested in that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and that's the best entertainment outside of the actual game
Speaker 1: that you'll get on the day. I think that's probably
Speaker 1: the big thing that USA does a little bit better
Speaker 1: on ours, and there's a lot of room for improvement.
Speaker 3: Is that because your attention span is really short in
Speaker 3: this isn't everyone's?
Speaker 2: Isn't that hard?
Speaker 1: TikTok's popular now because everyone's on a fifteen second attention span.
Speaker 3: Very fair. That one was from Kim Hellum eighty five.
Speaker 3: Thanks Kim. Favorite Australian holiday and why was it Tasmania?
Speaker 3: That's from Natos.
Speaker 2: Look, I've actually big FANTASTI I think Tazzy is underrated.
Speaker 2: Have you been to Tazzy?
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's great if you want to, you snuggle up,
Speaker 3: you get a red wine, you go to a few exhibitions,
Speaker 3: you can.
Speaker 2: A flute here something jazz, well you flute, got it?
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's nice, it's nice.
Speaker 2: I agree.
Speaker 1: I think Tasmania is a beautiful place now it is
Speaker 1: called for like half the year. There's last time I
Speaker 1: went to Tasmania right like it was I it was
Speaker 1: mid season by or something along those lines. Maybe it
Speaker 1: was preseason, but I was with my brother and we
Speaker 1: looked up online. We go, we'll go tazy for like
Speaker 1: three or four days. So what's on in Tasmania? And
Speaker 1: the first thing that comes up on what's on in Tasmania? Brandon,
Speaker 1: what is it? It's Evandale Penny Farthing Festival. Now this
Speaker 1: is if you don't know a penny farther than it's
Speaker 1: essentially the big wheel on the front and the little
Speaker 1: minture wheel on the back.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 1: They have a national festival for this thing in Evansdale, Evandale,
Speaker 1: and we went with very low hope is expectations, I'll
Speaker 1: be honest, but we met some of the most interesting
Speaker 1: people I will ever meet in Australia guaranteed.
Speaker 2: Man, Like we met.
Speaker 3: So what do they do?
Speaker 2: They literally race.
Speaker 1: There's like it's a circle and there's maybe it's like
Speaker 1: a quarter of a mile or like a you know,
Speaker 1: a half like a velladrome half. Okay, No, it's like
Speaker 1: it's in town. The town is literally just like a
Speaker 1: little circle because it's a very small town and it's
Speaker 1: just a little circle and it's literally takes like a
Speaker 1: minute to do the full circle and it's maybe like
Speaker 1: two or three laps and then there's a winner crown
Speaker 1: at the end of it, and they have like different
Speaker 1: sections for old man. So you see the little old
Speaker 1: man with like the curled up mustaches riding these big
Speaker 1: old school like nineteen hundred's bicycles around and they just
Speaker 1: love it. Man, I'm Telly. There's there's a whole national
Speaker 1: championship right, and there's I don't know if you know this,
Speaker 1: here's the goat. The goat is a guy named James Fowler. Now,
Speaker 1: this guy, Jimmy thirty time champion. I'm telling you, he
Speaker 1: is the goat of Penny far thirty times and that's
Speaker 1: not even including second and third place when he was
Speaker 1: probably five years old. But this guy's absolutely got and
Speaker 1: he's the nicest fellow. Seriously, I met him and he
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, dude, gave me so much time, some
Speaker 1: random ass dude off the street, Like I had no
Speaker 1: idea what I was talking about or anything about Penny
Speaker 1: farther me.
Speaker 3: But he met the Michael Jordan of Penny Fun.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Michael. I would almost say the Michael Jordan cross
Speaker 2: Lebron James.
Speaker 1: The o g goat a Penny farthing, and that was Seriously,
Speaker 1: I would love to go back and do like a
Speaker 1: proper segment. And also I think it'd be great content
Speaker 1: making on one of those, because that actually might be
Speaker 1: the first bicycle that ever fits me. Brdon ye, because
Speaker 1: I think you can just step up onto it. It's
Speaker 1: actually like a custom bike. It actually might fit me.
Speaker 1: But it reminds me of something else that's coming up.
Speaker 1: And this is another little random side thing. But the
Speaker 1: Cooper's Hill cheese rolling competition in England. Do you know
Speaker 1: about this?
Speaker 3: I think I've seen clips. Is this when they roll
Speaker 3: the cheese wheel down the massive hill.
Speaker 1: This is like a just ninety degree hill. This is
Speaker 1: no chance of staying upright on this thing going down,
Speaker 1: and they're hum and for this wheel, a cheese wheel
Speaker 1: of cheese. I don't know why they got to that
Speaker 1: is the actual like thing.
Speaker 2: They're chasing money or something, I guess Chetta, it is
Speaker 2: that joke for the day.
Speaker 1: I love that. Now it's it is coming up, and
Speaker 1: I'm really excited. Do I know anything about it, Brandon, No,
Speaker 1: but I'm very excid for the winner.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: Does I g assume he just wins a wheel cheese
Speaker 1: Probably the least exciting thing to risk your life for.
Speaker 3: But surely it's notoriety. You walk through town as the
Speaker 3: guy that got the cheese, and.
Speaker 2: I'd be I'd make a trophy out of that. It
Speaker 2: would be so good.
Speaker 3: I am trying to see you with your long levers
Speaker 3: and I'd make it one.
Speaker 1: Step and then it'd be seriously, it'd be an avalanche
Speaker 1: going down.
Speaker 3: You blow out both knees and snap forward and you
Speaker 3: kind of just slide the rest of the.
Speaker 2: It would not be either way.
Speaker 1: Maybe post career, the post career champion, champion, the Cooper's
Speaker 1: Hill cheese roller championship.
Speaker 3: Baby, I'm pretty confident there wouldn't be someone that's done both.
Speaker 2: No chance.
Speaker 3: So you can be the first Jewel Penny Farthing cheese
Speaker 3: Cooper Hill grabbing Texan that ever lived.
Speaker 2: Isn't that the dream the dream man? Then move on
Speaker 2: to the next one.
Speaker 1: We've got the shed Stagram, the instagram did you play
Speaker 1: when Marcus Smart pushed a fan? And what's your views
Speaker 1: on fan abuse?
Speaker 2: Now, we're not for it.
Speaker 3: You just talking about the guys that jumped onto the field.
Speaker 3: He's like, kick their ass.
Speaker 1: That's a different kind of fan abuse that you can
Speaker 1: kind of throw it out there. I am kind of Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: I get I get where you're coming from here, but
Speaker 1: I did play when Marcus Smart pushed a fan.
Speaker 2: And Mark Smart is in the finals of the NBA
Speaker 2: right now.
Speaker 1: He's he's playing for the Celtics, and he's he's had
Speaker 1: a stellar career.
Speaker 2: He's one of the best defensive players.
Speaker 1: He's doing really I think the last game he didn't
Speaker 1: do so well, but the game four is really well.
Speaker 1: He's come back from injury and everything else. But it's
Speaker 1: kind of crazy to believe. But that whole scenario of
Speaker 1: Marcus Smart running into the crowd and pushing a fan
Speaker 1: actually started my AFL career. Yeah, it's a very long story, bright,
Speaker 1: and we'll keep it short. But that led to an
Speaker 1: opportunity for me to play basketball, which led to an
Speaker 1: opportunity and me playing the NCAA Tournament, which is a
Speaker 1: basketball tournament, which then from there, the AFL saw me playing,
Speaker 1: picked me out, gote me to a combine, then got
Speaker 1: me a contract.
Speaker 2: Now I'm so on now, eight years into it.
Speaker 1: So if Marcus Smart didn't run into the stands like
Speaker 1: a chaotic human being that he was and push a
Speaker 1: guy for the reasonings, I understand, but I'm not going
Speaker 1: to get into the whole thing, but shoved the guy
Speaker 1: at Texas Tech, then I probably wouldn't be in the
Speaker 1: back of this van doing this podcast right now with you, Brighten,
Speaker 1: I would have never heard of Melbourne.
Speaker 3: What ifl is what a sloting dorm moment?
Speaker 2: Very much.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of things that had happen on the
Speaker 1: roller coaster of a lot to get me to where
Speaker 1: I'm at.
Speaker 2: But we'll go to the next one.
Speaker 1: Would you ever consider getting a mullet by Lily dot
Speaker 1: com dot au.
Speaker 3: Just finish off the ensemble you already people already look
Speaker 3: at you, your seven foot I think if you added
Speaker 3: a mullet.
Speaker 2: Real draper mullet, Yeah I could.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I actually think there might be a little It might
Speaker 1: be a little plug for the next podcast.
Speaker 2: In this one, there might be you.
Speaker 1: If you stay tuned for the next podcast, I can
Speaker 1: guarantee you will see me in a cowboy hat, mullet
Speaker 1: and maybe a pair of Sonnies.
Speaker 3: That's a that's a guarantee.
Speaker 1: It's a real gift to our viewers out there.
Speaker 3: I like this one. This one's from Nathan Clark, Hey Mason,
Speaker 3: I'm a massive Saints fan. And followed your story ever
Speaker 3: since twenty sixteen, then it takes a real right to
Speaker 3: if you ever tried fairy bread.
Speaker 2: Fairy bread, yeah, bread, I've heard of this.
Speaker 1: No, I've heard of this bread and this is very
Speaker 1: the most It was one of the most obnoxious things
Speaker 1: I've ever heard in Australia.
Speaker 3: It's iconic.
Speaker 2: It is ridiculous. Who came up with this and who
Speaker 2: had the idea?
Speaker 3: Australian is the core.
Speaker 1: It is what is.
Speaker 2: Left in the fridge, what is left in the cupboard.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's for those who don't know who you've been
Speaker 3: living under a rock. For our US followers, it's essentially
Speaker 3: the plain white square of bread, like the cheapest like
Speaker 3: cardboard esque bread you can get, and then you lather
Speaker 3: it up with butter like an inch like it's got
Speaker 3: to be. It's almost thicker than the bread, and then
Speaker 3: you just and then you just like layer that with
Speaker 3: hundreds and thousands, which.
Speaker 2: Is like sprinkles essentially, what else would.
Speaker 3: You call it? Hundreds and thousands, which is basically just
Speaker 3: balls of colored sugar. So it's really nutritional. It gives
Speaker 3: you that kick that you don't get because you're on
Speaker 3: your tea or whatever. So we've actually got some here
Speaker 3: that we want you to try.
Speaker 1: So you've never had this going to be this is
Speaker 1: a huge, huge moment in my life. You've never had
Speaker 1: experience of fairy bread on Amazing cock Show. I must
Speaker 1: say this because we created this earlier and the one
Speaker 1: thing that.
Speaker 3: Blew me anything was I can't see the amount of butter.
Speaker 1: The amount of butter. This thing is like thick. It's yeah,
Speaker 1: this is media thick. Well, there's more butter than bread.
Speaker 3: If you don't get to play of the next game
Speaker 3: from like Diabetes skin.
Speaker 2: Brand with America. So here it is.
Speaker 1: Here is my first ever bite of fairy bread.
Speaker 3: I can't wait for your review. Always gone deep on it,
Speaker 3: a little fool and oh it's crunchy. That's what you
Speaker 3: want from a bread product. A little bit of butter
Speaker 3: in there. I don't know if you can take but
Speaker 3: oh yeah, I will say this. I've had worse things
Speaker 3: about life. Oh see, that's that's a positive.
Speaker 1: But if I needed to increase my butter intake per day,
Speaker 1: this would be a great way.
Speaker 3: That's good for your bones.
Speaker 1: It's actually somewhat pleasant, which actually just serves me the
Speaker 1: same thing. I'm not sold on having this every day.
Speaker 1: But if someone were to offer it, man I was
Speaker 1: ten years old, Yeah, I would actually take it even
Speaker 1: I even take a second pipe, Take a second brother.
Speaker 3: So if you had one of them before every game,
Speaker 3: it'll just juice it right up. Imagine that you'll run
Speaker 3: out the game. You got the energy to take you through.
Speaker 3: See you give that to like a six year old
Speaker 3: at a birthday party and they're just bouncing off the walls.
Speaker 3: It's great, get the energy out.
Speaker 2: I think we want to horror on the butter straight
Speaker 2: butter Bro.
Speaker 3: If you watch the video where we made it, it's yeah,
Speaker 3: there's a little bit of butter on there. I'm actually
Speaker 3: surprised how much.
