As we all know, he's in the United 0:00:16.600 --> 0:00:18.960 States of America, so it's going to be interesting. 0:00:19.079 --> 0:00:19.239 Now. 0:00:19.280 --> 0:00:24.680 The pressure's on me to get this right. Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, 0:00:24.760 --> 0:00:31.920 shut up, Facebook, YouTube, Spotify, and Apple podcasts. So get 0:00:31.960 --> 0:00:34.760 on there, check it out, subscribe to all of them. Live. 0:00:34.880 --> 0:00:39.000 Crossing now via the power of the Internet, to the one, 0:00:39.080 --> 0:00:42.800 the only six foot eleven and a half. We'll give 0:00:42.840 --> 0:00:48.080 him the extra half an inch. Mason Cox. How's it going, Mason? 0:00:48.479 --> 0:00:50.839 Oh my gosh. How about the intro from him? How 0:00:50.880 --> 0:00:53.279 he's got it all seven platforms. You've been nervous. You've 0:00:53.320 --> 0:00:55.680 been nervous. There you're you're bitch shaky, But hey, you 0:00:55.720 --> 0:00:57.400 got through it. That's the important thing. Brother. 0:00:57.560 --> 0:01:00.520 I feel like an absolute betroot. My head is about 0:01:00.560 --> 0:01:01.400 to explode. 0:01:01.600 --> 0:01:04.160 Look, man, you know it's it's practice makes perfect. You know, 0:01:04.319 --> 0:01:06.120 sometimes a lot of people think these things are easy. 0:01:06.360 --> 0:01:08.360 They're easy, you know, just to intro into a podcast, 0:01:08.400 --> 0:01:10.640 but you know, it takes a lot of time, It 0:01:10.680 --> 0:01:11.959 takes a lot of effort and takes a lot of 0:01:11.959 --> 0:01:15.040 looking in the mirror and practice yourself. So well done, Brandon, 0:01:15.080 --> 0:01:16.800 I must say it was a great intro, and I'm 0:01:16.840 --> 0:01:18.600 actually really started for this podcast. There's a lot of 0:01:18.600 --> 0:01:20.480 stuff we're going to cover. I know I'm in a 0:01:20.520 --> 0:01:23.080 different kind of magically kind of connecting through the internet, 0:01:23.120 --> 0:01:25.199 but there's a lot of stuff going on the world 0:01:25.360 --> 0:01:27.680 in the world at the moment, and we got a 0:01:27.720 --> 0:01:29.319 lot of stuff cover. Man, a lot of stuff cover. 0:01:29.480 --> 0:01:32.960 So where are you, like nestled between these two pitcher frames? 0:01:33.160 --> 0:01:33.880 What's going on? 0:01:34.319 --> 0:01:37.319 I am in Las A. I'm actually in Ontario, California, 0:01:37.720 --> 0:01:40.560 which is just outside of Los Angeles. So I'm at 0:01:40.560 --> 0:01:43.640 the USAFL National Tournament. So there's an AFL league here 0:01:43.640 --> 0:01:46.440 in the US, and I'm here as a representative, as 0:01:46.520 --> 0:01:49.160 the AFL representative I guess, one of the AFL representatives 0:01:49.840 --> 0:01:53.160 over here to help grow the league essentially. So I've 0:01:53.200 --> 0:01:55.800 gone to the last four or five, I want to say, 0:01:55.960 --> 0:01:58.080 and I've always been a representative here and just enjoy 0:01:58.080 --> 0:01:59.320 it and it's kind of a bit of a family 0:01:59.360 --> 0:02:02.480 out here, and it's always perfect timing in the off season. 0:02:02.520 --> 0:02:04.360 So this is one of the first first stops on 0:02:04.400 --> 0:02:07.320 my whole tour to America while I am back in 0:02:07.360 --> 0:02:08.480 the off season in the States. 0:02:08.639 --> 0:02:10.640 You've been to so many that you would probably be 0:02:11.000 --> 0:02:16.320 the one of the leading experts in us AFL knowledge 0:02:16.600 --> 0:02:18.280 history the whole show. 0:02:19.520 --> 0:02:20.880 I'm a bit nervous. I don want to be quizzed 0:02:20.880 --> 0:02:22.959 on it, but I feel like I know a decent amount. 0:02:23.000 --> 0:02:26.119 A decent amount. There's people. It's been twenty five years, 0:02:26.120 --> 0:02:27.840 so this year is the twenty fifth anniversary, which is 0:02:27.840 --> 0:02:30.160 a big deal. So they've had a gala, had a 0:02:30.160 --> 0:02:33.080 big celebration, everything else, and it's kind of cool. I mean, 0:02:33.120 --> 0:02:35.600 twenty five years of essentially creating a league out of nothing. 0:02:35.600 --> 0:02:37.280 It's been awesome to hear some of these great stories 0:02:37.320 --> 0:02:39.560 from people that were here since the very beginning and 0:02:39.760 --> 0:02:43.280 just had this crazy idea. I was like Australians in America, going, hey, 0:02:43.400 --> 0:02:45.799 let's randomly get some people together, let's go have a kick, 0:02:45.840 --> 0:02:47.320 and let's see if we can create a league in 0:02:47.320 --> 0:02:49.639 a country half a world away from this place that 0:02:49.680 --> 0:02:52.600 the sport has actually played in. So credit to them, man, 0:02:52.600 --> 0:02:55.040 they've they've come a long way and it's a big deal. 0:02:55.080 --> 0:02:57.079 Every year there's forty one teams, I think, and there's 0:02:57.120 --> 0:03:00.679 over a thousand people playing this weekend. It's they rent 0:03:00.680 --> 0:03:03.240 out this whole complex. Man. It's actually it's a great experience. 0:03:03.280 --> 0:03:05.720 And a lot of XAFL players and people in the 0:03:05.720 --> 0:03:07.600 media and stuff have come through over the years and 0:03:07.880 --> 0:03:09.640 been able to experience it and everyone just has a 0:03:09.639 --> 0:03:12.359 really good time. So it's it's a great it's great experience. 0:03:12.400 --> 0:03:14.920 If anyone's listening from America, you know, go find a 0:03:14.919 --> 0:03:16.919 local team. Go find a local team. You'll have it 0:03:16.919 --> 0:03:19.520 in your city. Go join, Go play a bit of 0:03:19.520 --> 0:03:21.120 footy and have a kick, and maybe we'll see you 0:03:21.120 --> 0:03:22.480 here with the nationals next year. 0:03:22.720 --> 0:03:26.280 Surely part of it is the fact that we take 0:03:26.480 --> 0:03:29.840 our sport over there so the Australians can be the best. 0:03:29.880 --> 0:03:31.760 Maybe they weren't the best when they were back here 0:03:31.760 --> 0:03:35.600 in Australia. There, you know, country pluggers or their VFL 0:03:36.400 --> 0:03:40.320 battlers or whatever. Take it over there. You're Chris Judd, 0:03:40.400 --> 0:03:44.440 You're Gary Ablett Jr. You're the Mason Cox of the league. 0:03:44.480 --> 0:03:47.120 Once you take it over to the USAFL. 0:03:47.480 --> 0:03:49.080 The fact that you just loop me in in this 0:03:49.160 --> 0:03:55.560 team category is Christian Gary is just ridiculous. Beyond belief. 0:03:55.600 --> 0:03:58.800 Braden I appreciate the compliment. I think both of them 0:03:58.800 --> 0:04:00.880 probably half my size. If you stack one on the other, 0:04:01.560 --> 0:04:03.560 you might get my hight. But I think they're carrying 0:04:03.600 --> 0:04:06.160 a lot more skills than I ever will. So there 0:04:06.200 --> 0:04:07.680 is there is players that come over here though from 0:04:07.720 --> 0:04:09.680 the like Australia that moved over to the US and 0:04:10.280 --> 0:04:12.240 are playing in this league. Man, they're absolutely killing it. 0:04:12.280 --> 0:04:13.920 So you got these guys that might have played VFL 0:04:14.000 --> 0:04:15.920 or played you know, samful or something like that, you know, 0:04:15.960 --> 0:04:17.560 in their day, and they come over here and the 0:04:17.560 --> 0:04:20.200 playing with Americans essentially teaching Americans how to kick a 0:04:20.240 --> 0:04:23.120 football and how to handball and everything else. And the 0:04:23.320 --> 0:04:25.840 level of standard for you know, half these guys being 0:04:25.920 --> 0:04:28.120 in the eyes and girls so it's men's and women's 0:04:29.000 --> 0:04:31.039 for them. Half of them don't. I've never even played footy. 0:04:31.040 --> 0:04:33.320 They're essentially Americans. I just got into it randomly, And 0:04:33.839 --> 0:04:36.120 it's pretty awesome to have this many people kind of 0:04:36.120 --> 0:04:37.800 involved and have it come thus far. 0:04:38.040 --> 0:04:39.960 I like what you did there. So you're saying, Chris 0:04:40.040 --> 0:04:43.320 Judd and Gary Ablick combined makes you. 0:04:43.560 --> 0:04:45.600 Between the three of us, we've probably got like what 0:04:45.920 --> 0:04:48.799 seven brown lows probably kicked a thousand goals and played 0:04:48.800 --> 0:04:51.920 about seven hundred games. So yeah, I mean, I'm not 0:04:51.960 --> 0:04:53.560 sitting here saying one better than the other. You know, 0:04:53.560 --> 0:04:55.440 it's a team effort, but I'm just saying the three 0:04:55.480 --> 0:04:57.080 of us have quite a resume. 0:04:57.400 --> 0:04:58.560 Same same, it's the same. 0:04:58.600 --> 0:04:58.800 Same. 0:04:58.880 --> 0:05:01.839 But I don't know if if you've if you've heard, 0:05:02.360 --> 0:05:03.880 and I don't know if you need to check in 0:05:04.000 --> 0:05:07.279 on your apartment while you're over there, but Australia has 0:05:07.560 --> 0:05:11.320 basically ceased to exist since you're left. We're under the ocean. 0:05:11.360 --> 0:05:13.640 We're having a little bit of trouble with the rain 0:05:14.240 --> 0:05:17.479 and the water and the flooding. And I don't know 0:05:17.480 --> 0:05:19.080 if you've heard if it's made it over there to 0:05:19.120 --> 0:05:23.479 the States. But Rochie, my birth town, it's got, it's gone, 0:05:23.960 --> 0:05:30.240 it's underwater, it's it's it's everyone's been evacuated. Yeah, it's it's. 0:05:30.960 --> 0:05:35.360 It's the Atlantis of Victoria. And a Chuka is well 0:05:35.400 --> 0:05:39.120 on its way. Just a little update from back here. 0:05:38.800 --> 0:05:40.440 We're struggling. 0:05:40.560 --> 0:05:43.160 So I've heard I think that York Street Bridge and Melbourne, 0:05:43.160 --> 0:05:45.359 I've I've heard that's back underwater, which it does every 0:05:45.400 --> 0:05:49.360 time it even sprinkles. So it's a little bit of rain. 0:05:49.400 --> 0:05:53.480 That thing's flooding. But it's crazy, Like you know, I'm 0:05:53.480 --> 0:05:55.240 being in a different country. You don't like probably hear 0:05:55.279 --> 0:05:57.640 the news as much. But obviously in how nuts it's 0:05:57.640 --> 0:05:59.960 been over there since I laugh oud, and you know, 0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:01.760 I want to wish all the US to those small 0:06:01.800 --> 0:06:03.719 towns because we've said on this podcast before. You know, 0:06:03.760 --> 0:06:07.560 we're big fans, big fans of Rachi, and you know, 0:06:07.600 --> 0:06:09.880 we hope anyone that's up there listening, which is you know, 0:06:09.960 --> 0:06:12.040 there's only five people in town, so max five people 0:06:13.560 --> 0:06:16.760 hopefully you know, hopefully your friends, family, everything are okay, 0:06:16.800 --> 0:06:19.840 and you know you've evacuated, done the right thing, and 0:06:20.160 --> 0:06:22.599 hopefully you can come back to to something at home. 0:06:22.640 --> 0:06:25.039 It's crazy times, crazy crazy times. 0:06:25.160 --> 0:06:27.719 Wait wait, speaking about getting the community together and everything else. 0:06:27.720 --> 0:06:30.760 Now there's a man called Ned Brockman. This guy has 0:06:30.760 --> 0:06:33.440 done something phenomenal. Now I don't know if you've been 0:06:33.480 --> 0:06:35.400 following him. I'm not sure who out there is known 0:06:35.440 --> 0:06:37.920 about this, but this man is crossed country. And I 0:06:38.000 --> 0:06:40.039 don't mean cross country in a car or a bike 0:06:40.400 --> 0:06:42.160 or a push bike or anything like that. This man 0:06:42.240 --> 0:06:45.440 has ran across country. He's ran from Perth all the 0:06:45.440 --> 0:06:48.000 way to Sydney. He's just finished up a few days 0:06:48.000 --> 0:06:50.880 ago and he's raised like one point five million dollars 0:06:50.920 --> 0:06:53.200 I think at the moment for Mobilized, which is an 0:06:53.240 --> 0:06:56.480 amazing charity out there, and this man is just now 0:06:57.440 --> 0:06:58.840 I know a lot of people this has been in 0:06:58.880 --> 0:07:00.400 the media in Sydney and stuff like that, but I'm 0:07:00.440 --> 0:07:01.960 not sure if it's made it to Melbourne. But this 0:07:02.120 --> 0:07:05.640 man Net has done some phenomenal stuff and he's done 0:07:05.640 --> 0:07:08.200 over like a marathon a day. He's almost like done 0:07:08.200 --> 0:07:10.200 one hundred kilometers a day, which is just insane to 0:07:10.240 --> 0:07:13.240 think for like forty odd days, so over a month 0:07:13.360 --> 0:07:16.080 doing a marathon a day. This man is an absolute jet. 0:07:16.320 --> 0:07:18.960 He's absolutely killed it and he's made it all the 0:07:18.960 --> 0:07:22.040 way to Bond Eye and he's finished this race and 0:07:22.080 --> 0:07:25.080 it's so so cool to see someone like this raise 0:07:25.120 --> 0:07:27.360 that kind of money for an important charity nonetheless, but 0:07:27.400 --> 0:07:29.760 also do this amazing human feat. And I think he's 0:07:29.760 --> 0:07:32.920 a he ran the second fastest person to ever run 0:07:33.280 --> 0:07:36.840 cross country in Australia and he's an absolute jet. He's 0:07:36.840 --> 0:07:39.320 a young man, he's like in his twenties early twenties, 0:07:39.320 --> 0:07:41.640 and yeah, it's a credit to him. It's been awesome 0:07:41.640 --> 0:07:43.680 following his journey from day one. He's he's started all 0:07:43.680 --> 0:07:45.120 the way out and called his lean to say, and 0:07:45.120 --> 0:07:48.960 he's finished in Bondai. And this man is just insane. 0:07:49.000 --> 0:07:51.080 I can't imagine some of the stuff he's put his 0:07:51.080 --> 0:07:52.440 body through just to be able to get through that. 0:07:52.520 --> 0:07:54.880 I mean seriously, he's going like in like ran through 0:07:54.880 --> 0:07:57.600 the nol bar nol bar nolible. What did you say? 0:07:58.600 --> 0:08:00.600 It's not good bye man, Hushul you know that, but no, 0:08:00.960 --> 0:08:03.200 he's done something amazing. Man. And to do like one 0:08:03.280 --> 0:08:06.200 hundred k's a day, I cannot even fathom like the 0:08:06.240 --> 0:08:09.840 pain and exertion your body would be going through to 0:08:09.920 --> 0:08:11.360 have to be able to do that in a whole 0:08:11.440 --> 0:08:12.800 like forty days straight. 0:08:13.000 --> 0:08:15.560 I doubt my car could do one hundred k's a 0:08:15.640 --> 0:08:16.600 day for a month. 0:08:17.880 --> 0:08:19.360 I've seen your car. I don't think you could either. 0:08:19.360 --> 0:08:21.280 I don't think that thing's making across country unless it's 0:08:21.280 --> 0:08:22.200 getting towed. What's there? 0:08:22.280 --> 0:08:24.880 You get your GPS data? How many k's would you 0:08:24.920 --> 0:08:27.000 say you would run in a game as a ruckman. 0:08:27.040 --> 0:08:28.160 You got to get around, You've got to do a 0:08:28.200 --> 0:08:29.600 lot of k's. How many caves? 0:08:30.000 --> 0:08:32.240 Yeah? Not as much as a small fellows, but I'd 0:08:32.280 --> 0:08:34.680 be running like probably twelve k's a day or sorry, 0:08:34.679 --> 0:08:35.000 a game. 0:08:35.080 --> 0:08:37.600 How cook are you after you've run twelve k and 0:08:37.640 --> 0:08:40.600 could you imagine doing that another ten times in the 0:08:40.640 --> 0:08:41.120 same day. 0:08:41.679 --> 0:08:43.959 No chance. I don't think I could walk a hundred 0:08:44.000 --> 0:08:46.520 k's a day Like that is absurd. Like you were 0:08:46.559 --> 0:08:48.240 sit there and say, like, Mason walk one hundred k's, 0:08:48.280 --> 0:08:50.319 like I would probably go nuts, Like I don't know 0:08:50.360 --> 0:08:52.080 what he's listening to. Hopefully he's listen to The Mason 0:08:52.120 --> 0:08:54.080 cock Show because there's a lot of entertainment in that. 0:08:54.200 --> 0:08:57.120 But I just can't imagine what he's been doing and 0:08:57.160 --> 0:09:00.080 what's going through his head on a daily basis on 0:09:00.200 --> 0:09:03.480 one hundred k's and your body just being absolutely yelling 0:09:03.559 --> 0:09:06.920 at you with pain.

Outside of footy, you're doing a 0:09:55.000 --> 0:09:57.320 lot for the community with the USA FL but how 0:09:57.320 --> 0:09:59.680 about just the trip in general? You what are your plans? 0:09:59.679 --> 0:10:01.400 What do you plan on doing while you're over there. 0:10:01.559 --> 0:10:03.480 Man, I'm a bit of a loose unit, so I 0:10:03.480 --> 0:10:05.640 don't like the plan too far ahead. I literally don't 0:10:05.640 --> 0:10:08.280 even know my plans. I've got a loose plan for 0:10:08.360 --> 0:10:11.000 about a week ahead of me. I'll be here and 0:10:11.040 --> 0:10:13.000 so I'm going to the Monday night football game, or 0:10:13.080 --> 0:10:16.240 I would have just been to the Monday night football game. Sorry, 0:10:17.320 --> 0:10:20.160 And I'm essentially going to go to Oakley do that. 0:10:20.200 --> 0:10:21.880 So Oakley Headquarter is going to have me, because you know, 0:10:21.880 --> 0:10:25.280 everyone knows where these glasses nowadays, and they're gonna have 0:10:25.360 --> 0:10:27.400 it on wearing in games to see if there's anything 0:10:27.400 --> 0:10:29.240 they can do there, which would be pretty cool. And 0:10:29.280 --> 0:10:31.720 then I'll fly over to Austin, Texas. I'll go to 0:10:31.760 --> 0:10:34.040 the f one meet up with some friends there. Whould 0:10:34.040 --> 0:10:36.679 be a great time down in Austin. And then from 0:10:36.679 --> 0:10:38.280 there I'll fly to Mexico. I'm going to do a 0:10:38.280 --> 0:10:40.200 little R and R in Mexico a little then out 0:10:40.280 --> 0:10:43.480 in Mexico, and then from there it's a been open ended. 0:10:43.720 --> 0:10:45.560 I'm not really honestly sure. I'll go back to Dallas 0:10:45.600 --> 0:10:47.120 at some point too, thanks to you for the family. 0:10:47.240 --> 0:10:48.760 And then I've got about a week in lou i 0:10:48.800 --> 0:10:50.280 might go up to New York. I've got some friends 0:10:50.360 --> 0:10:52.959 up there there. They're living up there. Pretty pretty cool 0:10:53.000 --> 0:10:55.400 to see and yeah, and then I'm all head back 0:10:55.440 --> 0:10:56.840 to Australia and I'm actually going to go up to 0:10:56.840 --> 0:10:59.120 the Northern Territory and go to a place called Groot Island. 0:10:59.200 --> 0:11:02.920 It's off the east coast of sorry, off east on 0:11:03.040 --> 0:11:05.360 them Land, and I'm going to go do a little 0:11:05.360 --> 0:11:07.079 bit of a fishing trip and a bit of community 0:11:07.080 --> 0:11:09.320 work up there in the indigenous community, So trying to 0:11:09.360 --> 0:11:10.960 put all that together at the moment with a fl 0:11:11.000 --> 0:11:14.640 k P York house and the Polyfores, so a few 0:11:14.640 --> 0:11:16.760 things on that to do some community stuff along the way. 0:11:16.920 --> 0:11:19.079 You're going to get back to pre season and it's 0:11:19.080 --> 0:11:22.280 going to feel like a rest. That's going to be 0:11:22.400 --> 0:11:25.760 like I, thank God, thank God, I'm into preseason training. 0:11:25.800 --> 0:11:26.800 I can finally have a. 0:11:26.679 --> 0:11:29.560 Break, finally have a schedule again. Finally I can just 0:11:29.640 --> 0:11:31.840 do know what I'm doing every single day for the 0:11:31.880 --> 0:11:33.679 next three months of my life, and then we'll get 0:11:33.679 --> 0:11:35.760 into the season, which we'll last for another six months. 0:11:35.880 --> 0:11:37.640 What I do want to see though, is when you 0:11:37.679 --> 0:11:41.440 do Thanksgiving, I want to see what you cook, because 0:11:41.520 --> 0:11:44.160 like I don't think a lot of our listeners would 0:11:44.679 --> 0:11:48.559 experience a Thanksgiving in the States, Like is it turkey? 0:11:48.600 --> 0:11:51.600 Obviously you got to do and then what what's what's 0:11:51.640 --> 0:11:52.240 on top of that. 0:11:52.520 --> 0:11:55.560 Well, there's the classics, man, So you got turkey, cranberry sauce, obviously, 0:11:55.600 --> 0:11:57.719 the pumpkin pie is a massive thing. And then you'll 0:11:57.720 --> 0:11:59.800 have mashed potatoes, gravy. Those are kind of like the 0:11:59.840 --> 0:12:02.800 main staples. Now we have that, but then I've also 0:12:02.880 --> 0:12:05.280 got so I'll have my Thanksgiving with my family here 0:12:05.280 --> 0:12:07.199 in America, and then I also have a friends Giving, 0:12:07.200 --> 0:12:10.599 which is like a Thanksgiving with friends back in Australia 0:12:10.720 --> 0:12:13.600 whenever the first weekend before we start training again, which 0:12:13.600 --> 0:12:15.000 is probably not the best thing in the world to 0:12:15.040 --> 0:12:16.959 be smashing a ton of food and just becoming a 0:12:17.000 --> 0:12:19.000 fat piece of shit right before you start training. But 0:12:19.440 --> 0:12:22.439 you know, you got to traditions, so we'll do that. 0:12:23.040 --> 0:12:24.920 And then essentially I've got a lot of friends from 0:12:24.920 --> 0:12:27.120 all over the world that kind of have come into 0:12:27.160 --> 0:12:29.240 Melbourne and stuff, and each one of them brings something. 0:12:29.240 --> 0:12:31.480 So I've got a friend from Sweden. He brings Swedish meatballs. 0:12:31.520 --> 0:12:33.560 Is that part of thanks Seeming dinner? Usually no, but 0:12:34.000 --> 0:12:36.280 we let him do it, you know what, because he 0:12:36.320 --> 0:12:38.360 doesn't do thanks to me and Sweden. So we kind 0:12:38.400 --> 0:12:40.800 of make it around, which is good fun. But yeah, 0:12:40.880 --> 0:12:42.439 I'll have two Thanksgivings this year and then we'll be 0:12:42.480 --> 0:12:44.600 back into training to hopefully run all that off. 0:12:44.760 --> 0:12:47.880 What's the Australian Thanksgiving meat? 0:12:48.440 --> 0:12:48.560 Like? 0:12:48.640 --> 0:12:50.880 What could what meat could we provide? 0:12:51.559 --> 0:12:54.040 I feel like Kangaroo's easy one, right you just like 0:12:54.120 --> 0:12:55.559 you know, I do one of the kangaroos, like I 0:12:55.600 --> 0:12:57.640 think they bury it in the ground, like the kangaroo 0:12:57.720 --> 0:13:00.200 tail and they do like a whole coals underground, Like 0:13:00.240 --> 0:13:02.839 oh man, actually sounds pretty good. I don't know. It's 0:13:02.880 --> 0:13:04.520 kind of weird to be like people like, oh my gosh, 0:13:04.559 --> 0:13:08.640 you can get kangaroo at a local supermarket in Australia. 0:13:08.720 --> 0:13:11.920 You kill kangaroos. I was like, Gods, kangaroos are like 0:13:12.000 --> 0:13:14.400 deers back in Australia. I don't think you understand. Like 0:13:14.440 --> 0:13:16.240 sometimes they're a pest on the road and they're like, 0:13:16.440 --> 0:13:18.640 but they're cute and cuddly like koalas, and I'm like, 0:13:18.840 --> 0:13:19.719 it's not really like that. 0:13:19.880 --> 0:13:22.120 It would be way worse if we were killing and 0:13:22.160 --> 0:13:24.800 eating koalas. They're so cute. They're too cute. 0:13:25.040 --> 0:13:26.280 Before you move on, I just want to say this 0:13:26.320 --> 0:13:27.400 because a lot of people will know this. 0:13:27.520 --> 0:13:28.160 What are you going to see? 0:13:28.200 --> 0:13:31.719 Chlamydia is the number one killer of koala's brandon, So is. 0:13:31.640 --> 0:13:34.280 That why we're not aiding them because we don't want 0:13:34.320 --> 0:13:37.520 to get Can you get chlamydia? If you an animal 0:13:37.559 --> 0:13:40.079 that's got chlamydia? If we can affect check. 0:13:39.960 --> 0:13:42.760 This, I mean I think we should maybe refrained from 0:13:42.760 --> 0:13:46.160 that after COVID from the Bat, So maybe that's I 0:13:46.200 --> 0:13:48.520 don't know if there's kind of crossover there, but I 0:13:48.520 --> 0:13:50.680 think we've maybe learned our lesson as a world to 0:13:50.840 --> 0:13:53.360 not screw with certain animals. I think Cola is probably 0:13:53.360 --> 0:13:53.760 out there. 0:13:54.000 --> 0:13:57.760 Now we're jumping straight into hot takes, and you've got 0:13:57.760 --> 0:13:59.440 one here. You've put it to the top of the list, 0:13:59.440 --> 0:14:01.240 so I imagine it must be pretty near and. 0:14:02.880 --> 0:14:05.280 Very important. And this is gonna upset a lot of 0:14:05.280 --> 0:14:09.160 families because as everyone knows, I'm sure everyone's played this game. 0:14:09.240 --> 0:14:12.080 It is a very very popular game worldwide. Worldwide. It 0:14:12.160 --> 0:14:15.720 is called Uno. Now Uno the card game, as everyone 0:14:15.960 --> 0:14:18.439 is understanding, you know the different things that happen. You 0:14:18.480 --> 0:14:20.440 can have a reverse, you can have a skip, you 0:14:20.440 --> 0:14:24.320 can have a draw four, you can have a draw two. Right. Well, 0:14:24.400 --> 0:14:27.800 Uno has come out recently, and I'm a bit hey, 0:14:28.040 --> 0:14:29.600 there's a hot take. I'm been living on this bright 0:14:29.600 --> 0:14:31.640 and I'm not I'm not gonna lie because this this 0:14:31.880 --> 0:14:34.480 was a like, this is a big thing in our household. 0:14:34.480 --> 0:14:36.960 You now, because you get let's let's set the scene. 0:14:37.000 --> 0:14:39.120 Let's set the scene. Okay, you're playing Una, right, You're 0:14:39.120 --> 0:14:41.320 sitting there and you got this asshole to your left, 0:14:41.400 --> 0:14:43.840 and this guy's got you. He's dogged you like four times. Right, 0:14:43.880 --> 0:14:46.440 he's got the draw four, he's chosen the wrong color 0:14:46.480 --> 0:14:48.160 every time. He's just been a pain in the ass 0:14:48.200 --> 0:14:51.080 all game on. Right, Yeah, and this guy goes up 0:14:51.160 --> 0:14:53.760 right and like, let's say, the person before him, you know, 0:14:53.800 --> 0:14:56.520 puts down the draw too, and you've gone, oh, yes, 0:14:57.280 --> 0:15:00.200 the guy before me has to draw too, right, Well, 0:15:00.200 --> 0:15:03.240 this dickhead, as as they do. He goes and lays 0:15:03.280 --> 0:15:05.040 down and draw two on top of a draw too, 0:15:05.040 --> 0:15:07.840 which makes a draw four. And you're stuck there drawing 0:15:07.920 --> 0:15:09.800 double the amount of cards, and you're like this, I 0:15:09.800 --> 0:15:10.880 hate this game. I don't want to be a part 0:15:10.920 --> 0:15:12.280 of it. Right, you've got twenty cards in your hand. 0:15:12.280 --> 0:15:13.760 You're going, literally, I've got the pick of the bunch. 0:15:13.960 --> 0:15:14.320 Yeah. 0:15:14.360 --> 0:15:19.840 Well, Uno has come out and they've actually corrected this rule. Now, 0:15:20.000 --> 0:15:22.280 Uno doesn't really come with directions. I feel like it's 0:15:22.280 --> 0:15:23.840 a bit at adhac. Everyone's got their own kind of 0:15:23.920 --> 0:15:27.120 rules and regulations. But Uno has changed the rule where 0:15:27.120 --> 0:15:29.480 you can't put down a draw two on top of 0:15:29.560 --> 0:15:32.480 another draw too to make it draw four. So now 0:15:32.520 --> 0:15:34.960 it's just draw two the next person draws two, so 0:15:35.080 --> 0:15:36.960 you can't get like draw to the next person goes 0:15:37.000 --> 0:15:38.560 draw too. You go draw four, and the next person 0:15:38.560 --> 0:15:40.600 puts another draw to, the next person gets draw six, 0:15:40.760 --> 0:15:42.320 and then you get another person that's like draw two, 0:15:42.320 --> 0:15:44.200 and it's like the next person got draw eight cards 0:15:44.240 --> 0:15:46.800 and you go from one and UNO to like nine cards, 0:15:47.080 --> 0:15:49.120 and then you're sitting there screaming at the people next 0:15:49.160 --> 0:15:51.040 to you who are your family at Thanksgiving dinner because 0:15:51.040 --> 0:15:52.800 you're so pissed off with them for protriating you, like 0:15:52.800 --> 0:15:56.200 absolute dark shiting. Ah, it's just so frustrating. But anyways, 0:15:56.240 --> 0:15:58.440 So not that I have any connections to this, and 0:15:58.560 --> 0:16:03.120 I'm passion about this whatsoever it's happened to me, but anyway, Yeah, 0:16:03.240 --> 0:16:06.680 so UNOS has changed, the rules, were clarified the rule 0:16:06.720 --> 0:16:09.080 per se, probably more than anything, because I just let 0:16:09.080 --> 0:16:10.960 everyone run with the rules. No one really had any 0:16:11.040 --> 0:16:13.800 rules they came to the box. But apparently now the 0:16:13.880 --> 0:16:16.520 draw to cannot be put on a draw two to 0:16:16.600 --> 0:16:17.400 make it a draw four. 0:16:17.880 --> 0:16:21.200 Sometimes life's not fair. Sometimes you get piled up with 0:16:21.320 --> 0:16:24.240 draw toos and you get slammed into the dirt, but 0:16:24.320 --> 0:16:27.080 you pick yourself up and you dust yourself off. But 0:16:27.160 --> 0:16:30.320 now we don't have to learn how to be resilient 0:16:30.360 --> 0:16:32.760 because they just changed the rules so we don't hurt 0:16:32.760 --> 0:16:33.800 someone's feelings. 0:16:34.360 --> 0:16:36.480 Like that's I'm more on the patient. 0:16:37.000 --> 0:16:38.760 Yeah, I'm more on slam them down. 0:16:39.120 --> 0:16:41.880 Create some feuds in the family. People hate each other. 0:16:42.160 --> 0:16:46.480 Drill Ane with like seven draw toos in her own 0:16:46.760 --> 0:16:50.080 like stuffer. If she's not ready to play, don't come 0:16:50.080 --> 0:16:51.560 to the table. That's what I reckon. 0:16:52.360 --> 0:16:56.440 You step in this arena, you gotta be ready to play. 0:16:55.280 --> 0:17:00.000 Like that's the brakes. That's what happens. I don't get it. 0:17:00.280 --> 0:17:01.960 That's where I learned resilience as a child. 0:17:02.920 --> 0:17:08.760 Out of Monopoly, We'll say, and I'm going to put 0:17:08.760 --> 0:17:10.080 it out there. I don't know if you've got like 0:17:10.119 --> 0:17:14.720 a crazier game or Risk. You remember Risk? Yeah? 0:17:14.880 --> 0:17:15.080
