To start off, Tasmania is getting 0:00:11.840 --> 0:00:14.040 a football team. Never thought I'd say that we've got 0:00:14.080 --> 0:00:17.040 the NBA All Star Game. A huge flop. We've got 0:00:17.079 --> 0:00:19.920 life could be worse, could be. Seer's husband, Russell Wilson, 0:00:19.960 --> 0:00:22.919 will explain more, talk about superbikes, everything that's all happening. 0:00:22.960 --> 0:00:25.239 But first of all, let's get straight into it. This 0:00:25.360 --> 0:00:34.000 is the sporting segment on the Mason cock Show. All right, 0:00:34.080 --> 0:00:36.920 let's get into it. Brandon, Welcome, What a week in sport. 0:00:37.040 --> 0:00:37.839 It's happening. 0:00:37.920 --> 0:00:40.440 It's good that sport is finally starting to kick off, 0:00:40.520 --> 0:00:42.800 like I was getting bored there for a bit coming 0:00:42.840 --> 0:00:45.159 out of you know, the summer, and we're gonna get 0:00:45.159 --> 0:00:47.640 footy back up and up and running, and it's good 0:00:47.640 --> 0:00:51.360 to see that it has kicked off. And three weeks yeah, 0:00:51.400 --> 0:00:53.320 you're on the corner. Well before we jump into it, 0:00:53.520 --> 0:00:56.480 I saw you at the superbikes. Yes, well you're doing 0:00:56.480 --> 0:00:59.120 down there? Are you another fly in celebrity just to 0:00:59.560 --> 0:01:02.680 walk lane? And oh are you doing down there? Yeah? 0:01:02.680 --> 0:01:05.360 I mean someone offered a helicopter ride pit lane experience 0:01:05.520 --> 0:01:07.640 and a few other things. Yeah, shout out to tisso 0:01:08.160 --> 0:01:10.640 she tran tast we need a sponsor, tess up, get 0:01:10.640 --> 0:01:12.920 around it. But now I was down there Philip Island. 0:01:12.959 --> 0:01:14.320 It was a bucket list atum. I always wanted to 0:01:14.360 --> 0:01:16.440 go down there. Check out the track down there. It's 0:01:16.440 --> 0:01:20.280 a massive, massive ordeal. So I got a helicopter ride beforehand, 0:01:20.360 --> 0:01:22.759 got to go across Phillip Island. But I must say 0:01:22.760 --> 0:01:24.920 one of the highlights, and this is not really sporting related, 0:01:24.959 --> 0:01:29.880 but saw the penguins. And by golly, the Philip Island penguins. 0:01:29.920 --> 0:01:32.200 They're a sight. I would hang crap on them like 0:01:32.240 --> 0:01:36.120 I do Tasmania. But I'm telling you totally changed, totally 0:01:36.240 --> 0:01:38.080 change once you actually go experience at firsthand. 0:01:38.080 --> 0:01:40.959 You got to get them on the bikes. Penguins on superbis. 0:01:41.000 --> 0:01:43.920 Now that's that's selling tickets. I just selling tickets, no doubt. 0:01:44.000 --> 0:01:45.600 But they are They are crazy to the box. They 0:01:45.600 --> 0:01:47.560 go over like three hundred kilometers an hour. These things 0:01:47.560 --> 0:01:49.880 are the f one on two wheels. It was so 0:01:49.960 --> 0:01:52.960 impressive to watch live the loudness of like the bikes. 0:01:52.960 --> 0:01:55.240 How I they scream past you and they go buying 0:01:55.240 --> 0:01:57.640 a flick of like a second it's just insane. 0:01:58.040 --> 0:01:59.559 It was really cool. If you haven't done it, highly 0:01:59.560 --> 0:02:02.400 recommend it. Awesome experience down there, And if you're a 0:02:02.440 --> 0:02:04.920 bike enthusiast, I'm sure it's one of those things that's 0:02:04.960 --> 0:02:06.320 going to be on your buck list for a long time. 0:02:06.480 --> 0:02:08.880 You ever ridden the motorbike, I don't them see the 0:02:08.919 --> 0:02:10.080 mechanics working very well. 0:02:10.120 --> 0:02:13.800 There was a time in Bali. Actually we don't like to, 0:02:14.360 --> 0:02:15.880 you know, go into it too much. But I was 0:02:15.919 --> 0:02:17.240 on the back of a Bali bike. I think my 0:02:17.320 --> 0:02:19.760 legs actually probably wrapped around the person in front of 0:02:19.800 --> 0:02:21.040 me because I had to do that just to be 0:02:21.040 --> 0:02:23.280 able to fit on the bike. But yeah, we don't 0:02:23.280 --> 0:02:24.919 we don't like to go into Bali. Bolli's a bit 0:02:24.960 --> 0:02:27.280 like Vegas of Australia, you know, like what happens in 0:02:27.320 --> 0:02:28.280 Bali stays in Bali. 0:02:28.600 --> 0:02:34.680 A pretty good record. I'm still here. I'm still here. 0:02:34.880 --> 0:02:37.679 I once fell off a scooter in Thailand and told 0:02:37.680 --> 0:02:40.239 the club I tripped and fell from a waterfall hike 0:02:40.280 --> 0:02:43.640 and I broke my hand. And I'm still sticking to 0:02:43.680 --> 0:02:45.280 a line until now because I know my physio is 0:02:45.280 --> 0:02:46.880 listening to this going. I knew it. 0:02:47.440 --> 0:02:50.040 I think everyone at the Collingwood Football Club gets one 0:02:50.080 --> 0:02:54.360 extravagant excuse. It wasn't a dog, it wasn't frisbee, it 0:02:54.400 --> 0:02:55.000 wasn't cricket. 0:02:55.160 --> 0:02:58.960 It's fill in from a basketball stance. We have plenty 0:02:59.000 --> 0:03:01.520 of stories, no doubt, but yeah, let's get into it. Man. 0:03:01.880 --> 0:03:04.200 Well, well you can walk me through this one. Because 0:03:04.200 --> 0:03:06.520 I don't know much about the NBA. I can flick 0:03:06.560 --> 0:03:09.320 it on and have I like the Stars. I like 0:03:09.360 --> 0:03:12.959 the stars better than the games. But the NBA All 0:03:12.960 --> 0:03:15.440 Star Game I didn't even know what was on. Is 0:03:15.480 --> 0:03:17.880 that a sign of how big a flop this thing was? 0:03:18.240 --> 0:03:20.919 It was bad, like real bad. I go through the numbers. 0:03:20.960 --> 0:03:23.720 There's only four point six million viewers, which is down 0:03:23.880 --> 0:03:27.000 twenty seven percent from last year's All Star Game. 0:03:27.040 --> 0:03:29.600 How many people in the States, Oh. 0:03:29.480 --> 0:03:32.560 It's three hundred and thirty three million. Also, I don't 0:03:32.639 --> 0:03:34.320 like NBA being one of the biggest sports and like 0:03:34.360 --> 0:03:35.840 being one of the biggest like kind of you know, 0:03:35.840 --> 0:03:37.440 things that get together for an All Star Game. But 0:03:37.480 --> 0:03:39.560 the thing is, like the NFL is changing stuff. They 0:03:39.640 --> 0:03:41.800 did it. They're not doing the Pro Bowl anymore. They're 0:03:41.880 --> 0:03:45.240 doing different competitions from like Dodgeball and Greatest catch and 0:03:45.280 --> 0:03:48.560 all this random stuff, and now the NBA is now 0:03:48.600 --> 0:03:50.920 looking at doing something similar because people aren't people aren't 0:03:50.920 --> 0:03:52.480 tuning in. Like you might have the best stars in 0:03:52.520 --> 0:03:54.200 the whole league and not the best stars in the game, 0:03:54.240 --> 0:03:56.760 but whenever you're dropping like one hundred and eighty points 0:03:56.800 --> 0:03:59.600 to one hundred and seventy something, it just doesn't there's 0:03:59.600 --> 0:04:01.360 no defense. It's like this is just essentially a dunk 0:04:01.360 --> 0:04:03.200 contest and a game form. 0:04:03.360 --> 0:04:06.480 Now I want to get into this because everyone always 0:04:06.520 --> 0:04:09.600 brings up the same old point as we got to 0:04:09.640 --> 0:04:11.400 bring State origin back and all that crap. 0:04:11.520 --> 0:04:12.160 It won't work. 0:04:12.200 --> 0:04:16.400 It just doesn't work. There's not enough passion in the rivalry. 0:04:16.600 --> 0:04:20.359 And now that's my point. Every player in the AFL 0:04:20.680 --> 0:04:22.880 is friends with the other team as soon as the 0:04:22.920 --> 0:04:26.480 siren goes, Hey, buddy, how's your family, how's the kids. Oh, 0:04:26.520 --> 0:04:29.520 we got stocks together, we've got a business together. We 0:04:29.560 --> 0:04:32.880 sell watches and sonnies and all this kind of junk. 0:04:33.520 --> 0:04:36.080 I want to see rivalries and passion in the game. 0:04:36.080 --> 0:04:38.800 And if you're like complaining about not making enough money 0:04:38.839 --> 0:04:41.599 and not enough percentage, I don't care if it's fabricated, 0:04:42.279 --> 0:04:44.000 but I want to see more rivalry in the game 0:04:44.040 --> 0:04:47.000 talking about each other. And I've figured out the way 0:04:47.000 --> 0:04:50.200 around it. There's a loophole that you can get around 0:04:50.320 --> 0:04:53.320 because obviously you can't go and talk like you can't 0:04:53.320 --> 0:04:56.240 walk up to Maxicon after the game and like start 0:04:56.279 --> 0:04:58.520 shit or something because you like the bloke. Yeah yeah, 0:04:58.560 --> 0:05:00.359 but you can hate the team him. 0:05:00.680 --> 0:05:01.320 Yeah. 0:05:01.360 --> 0:05:05.280 So it's easy for Mason Cox to hate Carlton. As 0:05:05.320 --> 0:05:09.240 an example, it's a like a rivalry. You just say, 0:05:09.320 --> 0:05:12.200 like just a little snipe, Oh, their facilities aren't as 0:05:12.200 --> 0:05:15.040 good as ours, or something like something like no duck, 0:05:15.160 --> 0:05:18.960 no dinner exactly, no duck, no dinner, Like just some 0:05:19.040 --> 0:05:22.200 little thing where you just talk shit. You could tear 0:05:22.279 --> 0:05:24.919 Richmond to shreds. You could just bring up that every time. 0:05:25.080 --> 0:05:27.880 Oh yeah, remember that time I took X amount of 0:05:27.880 --> 0:05:31.719 contestant marks and down here killed the four peete. Just 0:05:31.880 --> 0:05:35.000 talk shit about the team and not the individuals, because 0:05:35.480 --> 0:05:37.360 it will be a bit, you know, put on if 0:05:37.360 --> 0:05:39.600 you talk shit about the individuals, but the team I 0:05:39.680 --> 0:05:42.080 think is fair game. And then as soon as Mason 0:05:42.120 --> 0:05:45.480 Cox talks about Richmond, you circle it in the calendar 0:05:46.680 --> 0:05:49.760 round whatever that game's coming up. It sells more tickets. 0:05:49.839 --> 0:05:53.039 Gets more people in the door, generates more revenue, more revenue, 0:05:53.040 --> 0:05:54.120 more money in your pocket. 0:05:54.160 --> 0:05:56.280 You know what happens whenever someone talks bad about a 0:05:56.320 --> 0:05:59.080 team like that, that makes a team review, That makes 0:05:59.120 --> 0:06:01.280 a team review, and that amps up the team. Somember 0:06:01.279 --> 0:06:03.680 they were like, oh duck, no dinner. That made our 0:06:03.680 --> 0:06:07.800 preview for that round of that game against Melbourne. And you're, look, 0:06:07.880 --> 0:06:09.839 I'm all for rivalries. I'm all for it. I'm not 0:06:09.880 --> 0:06:11.320 going to be the guy saying that stuff. I'll tell 0:06:11.320 --> 0:06:13.920 you up Bradon. But I think there is I think 0:06:13.920 --> 0:06:15.560 the AFL has gotten to the point where they don't 0:06:15.600 --> 0:06:18.080 want it to see and as like a rough kind 0:06:18.080 --> 0:06:20.360 of like rugged, redneck kind of sport. You know, they 0:06:20.360 --> 0:06:22.360 wanted to have a bit of more class, Like there's 0:06:22.360 --> 0:06:24.280 no real fighting anymore. You know, you're going to stand 0:06:24.320 --> 0:06:26.120 the mark. You can't really syke people out, like they're 0:06:26.160 --> 0:06:30.040 kind of going a bit more conservative. Where yes, I 0:06:30.080 --> 0:06:32.720 am in the same boat. I'm in the same boat, man. 0:06:32.720 --> 0:06:34.960 I'm like, I want to see the scuffle. I want 0:06:34.960 --> 0:06:37.200 to see people just you know, crack onto each other 0:06:37.240 --> 0:06:38.599 and just have a little bit of hate, you know, 0:06:38.760 --> 0:06:40.680 like just rip blokes off. I want to see some 0:06:40.760 --> 0:06:43.400 rip jumpers, like let's actually just get into it, like 0:06:43.480 --> 0:06:45.520 let's bring the jumper like jumper punch back. 0:06:45.960 --> 0:06:48.159 Yeah, I think there's going to be a bit more action. 0:06:48.400 --> 0:06:52.160 Like the game's in a great spot from a you know, 0:06:52.960 --> 0:06:56.120 scoring perspective. The scores are up a little bit year 0:06:56.200 --> 0:07:01.040 on year finally and everything's nice. Yeah, there's just it's 0:07:01.279 --> 0:07:05.040 it's missing something. For an example is Essendon Hawthorne I 0:07:05.080 --> 0:07:08.440 think are playing Round one and like the line in 0:07:08.480 --> 0:07:10.560 the sand game and all of that stuff, they used 0:07:10.560 --> 0:07:12.400 to rip each other's heads off. Now if they both 0:07:12.440 --> 0:07:15.240 come out and they're like, good job, guys, way to go. 0:07:15.360 --> 0:07:18.240 That was great, Like well played, we lost, We'll get 0:07:18.240 --> 0:07:21.480 to next time. That just doesn't do it for me. 0:07:21.600 --> 0:07:23.800 And that's what's going to be. You can't do that 0:07:24.160 --> 0:07:26.640 in the State of Origin. I just don't think that 0:07:26.680 --> 0:07:29.920 we could ever get that passion back and it'll be manufactured, 0:07:30.360 --> 0:07:35.360 but bring it back week to week, get everything just 0:07:35.680 --> 0:07:36.280 going again. 0:07:36.400 --> 0:07:38.320 He is hyped for Aunt one. You just want the 0:07:38.360 --> 0:07:41.440 most hype possible to get into this thing. Look, I'm 0:07:41.440 --> 0:07:45.280 off for I think there's definitely hatred between like fans. 0:07:45.320 --> 0:07:48.000 I think fans genuinely hate each other like whenever it 0:07:48.000 --> 0:07:50.560 comes to you know, supporters for certain certain bases. But 0:07:50.920 --> 0:07:52.840 the players now, because a lot of them like play 0:07:52.880 --> 0:07:54.720 growing up and stuff, they're all mates. Like a lot 0:07:54.720 --> 0:07:56.400 of the guys have played together at some point. There's 0:07:56.440 --> 0:07:58.760 not really a lot of hatred between players. And we're 0:07:58.760 --> 0:08:00.960 going to one man that is possible to hate later, 0:08:01.560 --> 0:08:03.640 Ben Brown, which is one of the most lovely humans ever, 0:08:03.720 --> 0:08:06.600 but lovely. I do agree. There is room for us 0:08:06.640 --> 0:08:08.760 to have a bit this sounds terrible, room for us 0:08:08.760 --> 0:08:10.440 to have a bit more hatred in the league. 0:08:10.680 --> 0:08:13.960 Like, yeah, I know I've got this. I already I've 0:08:14.040 --> 0:08:18.200 marked it down. They're a bit irrelevant. But you and 0:08:18.320 --> 0:08:20.960 North Melbourne, you've already talked that much. Ship not talked 0:08:21.000 --> 0:08:23.840 any about I'm going to cut up to be like 0:08:24.040 --> 0:08:26.440 Mason Cox hates North Melbourne. 0:08:27.200 --> 0:08:29.760 Great to Clarkson, be like, did you know on the 0:08:29.760 --> 0:08:30.640 Mason Cock. 0:08:30.480 --> 0:08:33.040 Show Clarko doesn't even know what team he is coaching. 0:08:33.040 --> 0:08:34.520 Did you need that video come out? 0:08:35.600 --> 0:08:37.960 Also? North Melbourne just thrown them under the bus like 0:08:37.960 --> 0:08:40.080 that rough rough gig. 0:08:40.320 --> 0:08:42.319 Thanks guys, Yeah, just make something worse. 0:08:42.400 --> 0:08:44.280 But it was probably the biggest most media they got 0:08:44.320 --> 0:08:44.600 all year. 0:08:44.640 --> 0:08:49.480 There see this is what that's going in the hype. 0:08:49.520 --> 0:08:51.800 Real are you? 0:08:51.800 --> 0:08:56.080 You're gonna Tazzy sooner we are Wednesday, we're headed south 0:08:56.920 --> 0:08:57.800 south of the border. 0:08:58.040 --> 0:09:01.120 Well six of them are going to be the airport. 0:09:01.760 --> 0:09:03.800 It's gonna it's gonna be a ruthless craft the and 0:09:03.800 --> 0:09:06.160 Tasmania lessons, Sirst. They probably don't love me too much, 0:09:06.480 --> 0:09:08.880 but I do. We love to do live tais Mania here. 0:09:08.880 --> 0:09:10.960 It's a beautiful place, but we do pockp on it 0:09:11.080 --> 0:09:12.560 like just the rest of mainland Australia. 0:09:12.720 --> 0:09:13.680 I'm looking forward to it. 0:09:13.720 --> 0:09:14.760 So it's going to be interesting. 0:09:14.760 --> 0:09:16.320 Do we want to get into this now? We'll push 0:09:16.360 --> 0:09:18.840 it forward a little bit. While we're talking about Tazzy. 0:09:19.440 --> 0:09:21.920 They're going to get a club, Well, it's looking like 0:09:21.960 --> 0:09:24.679 they're going to get a team. It's it's on the villain, 0:09:25.160 --> 0:09:28.560 it's right on the precipice. So they're all just kind 0:09:28.559 --> 0:09:31.319 of figuring out, justling to figure out who's going to 0:09:31.400 --> 0:09:35.240 pay for what. So it's the AFL, the state government 0:09:35.280 --> 0:09:39.160 and the federal government. So the state's chipped in what 0:09:39.240 --> 0:09:41.520 are they chipped in three hundred and seventy five million, 0:09:42.559 --> 0:09:45.880 The AFLs chipped in three hundred and sixty million, and 0:09:46.160 --> 0:09:48.680 they want two hundred and forty million from the federal 0:09:48.720 --> 0:09:52.160 government and that's to go into everything. But the most 0:09:52.360 --> 0:09:56.720 important thing is the stadium being built in Hobart at 0:09:57.160 --> 0:10:02.920 Macquarie Point. So it looks the most likely there's ever 0:10:03.000 --> 0:10:05.360 Look that Tazzy's going to get a team. 0:10:05.480 --> 0:10:09.600 Yeah, nineteen teams just not a great That doesn't sound clean, 0:10:09.640 --> 0:10:12.439 does it. We have nineteen teams in the AFL. 0:10:12.800 --> 0:10:15.199 So he's just about to get a new team, and 0:10:15.240 --> 0:10:16.760 you're already taken the shine off him. 0:10:17.280 --> 0:10:21.640 You're already thinking a team. I'll actually finish that and 0:10:21.679 --> 0:10:24.199 thing to think of that one. But I will say this, 0:10:24.600 --> 0:10:28.440 that stadium they build, I hope it has a roof. Yeah, 0:10:29.400 --> 0:10:32.560 you're playing in June down in Tasmania and Hilbart. Oh 0:10:32.640 --> 0:10:34.840 my gosh. I hope the AC and the heater's pumping 0:10:34.840 --> 0:10:37.280 in that joint. Oh my gosh, he's over by the MCG. 0:10:37.360 --> 0:10:38.839 You need to get a roof. I think this becomes 0:10:38.840 --> 0:10:40.079 a priority all of a sudden. 0:10:40.160 --> 0:10:43.800 Now I think it'll be one up there with one 0:10:43.800 --> 0:10:46.680 of the best crowds in footy. Like it might be 0:10:46.840 --> 0:10:49.880 a bit smaller, like they might build this like boutique 0:10:49.920 --> 0:10:54.760 stadium overlooking the harbor or whatever, so it'll look nice. 0:10:55.800 --> 0:10:58.440 But yeah, like if it doesn't have a roof, like 0:10:58.520 --> 0:11:01.839 you're getting the weather, the wind, the rain. It'll be 0:11:01.880 --> 0:11:05.120 a real home ground advantage that everywhere. It doesn't take 0:11:05.160 --> 0:11:07.560 long to get around Tazzy. It's a pretty small place, 0:11:07.640 --> 0:11:10.320 so the crowds will turn out. They'll be as passionate 0:11:10.360 --> 0:11:13.480 as ever. They get their own team. It's not you know, 0:11:13.559 --> 0:11:15.760 you get the share in North Melbourne or Gold Coast 0:11:15.840 --> 0:11:18.920 or Hawthorne or whoever. It's their own team. So yeah, 0:11:18.920 --> 0:11:20.840 I'm super pumped for it, and I can definitely see 0:11:20.840 --> 0:11:24.680 myself going down there for a game or two, suck 0:11:24.720 --> 0:11:26.920 on a bit of wine, laying in front of the 0:11:26.920 --> 0:11:30.920 fire on the what the like the beskin rug? 0:11:31.559 --> 0:11:35.280 Oh god, just wearing a pair of No, I don't 0:11:35.360 --> 0:11:37.080 need this picture in my head right now. And Bradon 0:11:37.720 --> 0:11:41.400 it is. You'll be there. We'll recording Wednesday. Wednesday, maybe 0:11:41.400 --> 0:11:43.120 we hey, maybe we go for the launch. I want 0:11:43.120 --> 0:11:44.440 to know what they're going to call this team too, 0:11:44.480 --> 0:11:46.760 because they I mean, they went strong with the NBL team, 0:11:46.760 --> 0:11:49.480 the jack Jumpers, which I was I still question. I 0:11:49.480 --> 0:11:50.480 don't even know what that is today. 0:11:50.520 --> 0:11:53.280 You've got to go with the Tazzy Devils. It's it's 0:11:53.280 --> 0:11:53.959 the best. 0:11:54.640 --> 0:11:57.160 And shout out to the North Texas Tazzy Devils, which 0:11:57.200 --> 0:11:59.360 is a USAFL team, because I know they call the 0:11:59.360 --> 0:12:02.439 Tazzy Devils that's one hundred percent or the Tazzy Tigers, 0:12:02.440 --> 0:12:04.520 but the Tigers are already taken, so I think. 0:12:04.400 --> 0:12:08.520 It'll just leapfrog into that's top off the top of 0:12:08.520 --> 0:12:12.240 my head, that's got to be top four mascot. I'll 0:12:12.240 --> 0:12:14.680 put it out there, Tazzy Devil, the Tazzy Devil. Yeah, 0:12:14.760 --> 0:12:18.240 it's sick. That'd be so good. They always, you know, 0:12:18.360 --> 0:12:22.040 tie themselves into the green color. Green look pretty gross. 0:12:22.040 --> 0:12:25.280 But the green is like I mean, it's very nature rich, 0:12:26.000 --> 0:12:28.880 so it kind of makes sense. But also like grown, 0:12:29.000 --> 0:12:30.839 no one else has green, so that's very much them. 0:12:30.880 --> 0:12:32.520 It's on brand. They can make it their own. 0:12:32.640 --> 0:12:36.160 I've always thought that there must be some reason why 0:12:36.160 --> 0:12:38.880 they don't have green, whether it clashes with the grass 0:12:38.920 --> 0:12:42.960 on the broadcast angle or something. But you think the 0:12:42.960 --> 0:12:45.080 only team that ever had some kind of green in 0:12:45.120 --> 0:12:47.640 it from you know, off the top of my head, 0:12:47.840 --> 0:12:53.439 is Freer in their three color and which looked awesome. 0:12:53.480 --> 0:12:55.920 I actually like one thing. I know you say, that's 0:12:55.920 --> 0:12:58.959 that the green thing. So there's a team called Boise State, right, 0:12:59.000 --> 0:13:01.000 and they're bright Blue, and what they've done is they've 0:13:01.040 --> 0:13:04.720 painted their their football field in the US bright blue. 0:13:04.800 --> 0:13:05.800 So they have like this. 0:13:07.320 --> 0:13:07.760 Discussion. 0:13:07.920 --> 0:13:09.920 They kick it off and one guy's laying down. He 0:13:10.080 --> 0:13:13.280 literally just camouflages into the ground and it's like all 0:13:13.280 --> 0:13:15.240 of a sudden, like everyone's on one side thinking one 0:13:15.240 --> 0:13:16.840 guy's gonna get it, and he just always and turns 0:13:16.840 --> 0:13:19.320 around and chunks it the other way. And the guy 0:13:19.400 --> 0:13:21.920 jumps off the ground out of this camouflage little hole 0:13:22.120 --> 0:13:24.040 and then catches the one runs into the end zone. 0:13:24.640 --> 0:13:27.600 I'm telling you, if he can pull that off, maybe 0:13:27.920 --> 0:13:29.880 for the Green imagine that. 0:13:30.000 --> 0:13:35.480 Already thinking tactics that team. But talking about that, the 0:13:35.679 --> 0:13:36.720 XFL has started. 0:13:36.760 --> 0:13:36.920 Now. 0:13:37.280 --> 0:13:43.600 I don't know if you're a massive XFL cooking, it's 0:13:43.679 --> 0:13:46.160 basically all they've got. From what I can see is 0:13:46.200 --> 0:13:49.200 the rock is is obviously the owner. He bought it 0:13:49.240 --> 0:13:52.680 off Vince McMahon. So you know, there's a lot of 0:13:52.720 --> 0:13:56.080 history around the XFL, and it's been around for a 0:13:56.120 --> 0:13:59.480 lot longer than probably people know, at least in Australia. 0:13:59.559 --> 0:14:02.760 But how would you explain this league for someone that 0:14:02.880 --> 0:14:04.360 doesn't really know what it is. 0:14:04.600 --> 0:14:07.400 It's like a essentially a bunch of celebrities and just 0:14:07.400 --> 0:14:09.640 people wanted to like have an NFL in the off 0:14:09.679 --> 0:14:11.600 season of NFL. Right, So there's no like NFL just 0:14:11.640 --> 0:14:13.880 has one tier. It's the NFL. There's not really like 0:14:13.880 --> 0:14:15.840 there was a Canadian Football league for a long time, 0:14:15.840 --> 0:14:17.839 but now they still want like an American affiliate. So 0:14:17.880 --> 0:14:21.560 it's the twos of the NFL. And there's no because 0:14:21.560 --> 0:14:23.400 you go from college and then like there's only a 0:14:23.480 --> 0:14:25.240 small percentage that makes it to the NFL. So what 0:14:25.280 --> 0:14:26.920 do all these you know, other people do. There's like 0:14:26.960 --> 0:14:29.400 over fifty people on a team, so this gives an 0:14:29.440 --> 0:14:32.280 opportunity for those people to play. Now, I think we've 0:14:32.280 --> 0:14:34.760 talked about this before, was like these are being played 0:14:34.760 --> 0:14:37.440 in stadiums that are not meant to be football stadiums. Yeah, 0:14:37.680 --> 0:14:40.920 like they are like soccer fields where the end zone 0:14:40.960 --> 0:14:43.720 is concrete, like wall past the end zone, like there's 0:14:43.760 --> 0:14:46.640 not much space beyond it, and they're running on a 0:14:46.760 --> 0:14:50.120 tight budget. Let's just say that they're just picking out 0:14:50.240 --> 0:14:52.760 any like stadium they can hold maybe ten to fifteen 0:14:52.840 --> 0:14:54.960 thousand people save a bit of cash on the way 0:14:55.000 --> 0:14:57.440 in sell as mini beers as possible and try to 0:14:57.440 --> 0:14:58.480 make as much money. 0:14:58.640 --> 0:15:01.280 I mean, it makes sense. I did see one clip 0:15:02.320 --> 0:15:05.000 a bloke's looking over his shoulder kind of running back 0:15:05.000 --> 0:15:07.760 with the flight as quick as he can, but the 0:15:07.800 --> 0:15:10.480 wall is flush up against the end zone and just 0:15:10.640 --> 0:15:14.480 run straight into the wall. You could just hear the CTA. 0:15:14.600 --> 0:15:17.480 You could hear his brain just mashing around in his skull. 0:15:18.480 --> 0:15:20.160 So yeah, there's not back with the flight. 0:15:20.360 --> 0:15:24.240 Yeah, it's it's very unique because I mean there were 0:15:24.240 --> 0:15:28.840 some AFL games that were played back in the eighties 0:15:28.960 --> 0:15:31.680 and like early mid nineties of like the AFL would 0:15:31.720 --> 0:15:33.680 go over and play in like Miami and stuff. I 0:15:33.680 --> 0:15:36.280 think there was a Collingwood game where they're playing in 0:15:36.400 --> 0:15:41.920 Miami on a dirt baseball pitch and it's this weird 0:15:42.000 --> 0:15:44.160 shape and there's not really like the goals aren't really 0:15:44.240 --> 0:15:46.000 in a line, and they're like it's only a couple 0:15:46.040 --> 0:15:48.880 of kicks from end to end and stuff. Yeah, I don't, 0:15:49.160 --> 0:15:52.680 I don't know. It's it really reminded me of AFL X. 0:15:52.720 --> 0:15:55.880 When I first saw this thing, that the AFL was like, well, 0:15:55.880 --> 0:15:59.240 we got to be able to play anywhere, so opening 0:15:59.240 --> 0:16:02.400 it up to soccer stadiums and like pitches like that. 0:16:02.600 --> 0:16:07.240 Great idea, terrible execution, just terrible. That was a circus, 0:16:07.480 --> 0:16:11.440 hey all, big fan of the super duper goal, it was. 0:16:11.680 --> 0:16:15.120 It was literally a circus that that opening shot the promo. 0:16:15.320 --> 0:16:17.360 I will never if I ever get to interview Gill 0:16:17.440 --> 0:16:19.720 in this thing, and we don't. I did an interview recently. 0:16:19.800 --> 0:16:21.040 I said, Gill is the man I want to get 0:16:21.040 --> 0:16:23.400 on and I want to ask this question specifically of 0:16:23.480 --> 0:16:26.240 what was going through his mind when he took that 0:16:26.280 --> 0:16:28.720 photo with all the different circus people around him, Like 0:16:28.800 --> 0:16:30.920 is he going in his head I am sacking this 0:16:31.040 --> 0:16:33.560 marketing manager as soon as I get out of this place. 0:16:33.760 --> 0:16:36.240 It was like it was just an instant meme. 0:16:36.360 --> 0:16:38.480 I think it was like the most I felt so 0:16:38.560 --> 0:16:39.160 bad for him. 0:16:39.880 --> 0:16:42.400 I don't know what they were thinking. But another thing 0:16:42.440 --> 0:16:44.360 that came out of this, like another thought that I 0:16:44.440 --> 0:16:46.880 was that I had, was, you know, the rock is 0:16:46.920 --> 0:16:48.920 the owner, and that really brings a lot of shine 0:16:48.920 --> 0:16:51.080 and a lot of attention, a lot of media spotlight 0:16:51.120 --> 0:16:54.040 to the XFL that you know, even when Vince McMahon 0:16:54.120 --> 0:16:57.480 owned it, he didn't really come out. He's like he's old, 0:16:57.520 --> 0:17:01.360 he's like eighty. I was thinking it would be cool, 0:17:01.480 --> 0:17:08.240 hypothetically to have some kind of private ownership over NFL 0:17:08.359 --> 0:17:11.280 over AFL clubs. It would be really cool to you 0:17:11.280 --> 0:17:13.439 could really ramp stuff up because at the moment, like 0:17:13.520 --> 0:17:16.359 every club is kind of hamstrung by you know, the 0:17:16.440 --> 0:17:19.840 funding that they can receive from the AFL and things 0:17:19.880 --> 0:17:22.959 like that. You don't want to lose any ownership from 0:17:23.240 --> 0:17:25.719 the fans obviously, so it would have to be some 0:17:25.920 --> 0:17:29.080 kind of split that would be like fifty one percent 0:17:29.119 --> 0:17:31.280 owned by the fans, so they still had the final 0:17:31.440 --> 0:17:34.040 say on majority. But then if an owner came in, 0:17:34.200 --> 0:17:37.520 they would still be able to shake things up and 0:17:37.640 --> 0:17:40.400 earn money back because they've got to get some kind 0:17:40.440 --> 0:17:42.560 of return on their investment, don't you. 0:17:42.600 --> 0:17:46.159 Okay, I do, And it's it's it's wild to think that, 0:17:46.320 --> 0:17:49.840 like the AFL is hamstrung you said, quote unquote on finances, 0:17:49.840 --> 0:17:51.680 but has three hundred and sixty million dollars to throw 0:17:51.760 --> 0:17:55.480 down in Tasmania. But yeah, it's an investment. Three hundred 0:17:55.480 --> 0:17:57.760 and sixty meals a lot. But anyway, it's I would 0:17:57.760 --> 0:17:59.240 like that. I think it'd be cool, Like you still 0:17:59.280 --> 0:18:03.240 have fans own a majority at least fifty one percent, right, 0:18:03.600 --> 0:18:05.399 and then you have the option for other people to 0:18:05.480 --> 0:18:07.520 buy out and like be part of it. So the 0:18:07.560 --> 0:18:09.320 only thing that we really have is like a number 0:18:09.320 --> 0:18:11.480 one ticket holder, which kind of like changes depending on 0:18:11.480 --> 0:18:13.359 the team and like every year, and that's like a 0:18:13.359 --> 0:18:14.879 way for them to kind of get media around the 0:18:14.920 --> 0:18:16.560 team and stuff like that. But if there was someone 0:18:17.080 --> 0:18:19.000 or like let's say someone owns a business and they're 0:18:19.119 --> 0:18:21.080 like very you know, affluent, whatever it is, they can 0:18:21.240 --> 0:18:23.720 have like a part ownership of a team, Right, I 0:18:23.800 --> 0:18:25.919 think that would be kind of cool to find a 0:18:25.920 --> 0:18:30.760
