Speaker 1: thinking right now, it's it's all coming to a head.
Speaker 3: What on earth are you?
Speaker 2: You?
Speaker 3: You look like an absolute idiot.
Speaker 1: That's sexiest the word you're looking for. I'm questioning you.
Speaker 1: Now you've got the white beard with the brown mustache.
Speaker 2: Now I'm not really it's a bit opposing. I think
Speaker 2: I'm not really one hundred ccent.
Speaker 1: Sure if I've alost aid five year old kid, if
Speaker 1: I believe that your actual Santa Claus. But yeah, maybe
Speaker 1: maybe if you don't understand, we're talking about check out
Speaker 1: on socials and some photos some pretty funny outfits. Were
Speaker 1: worrying for Chris for for the Christmas special on ELF,
Speaker 1: he's Santa Claus. How we got into this predicament, I'm
Speaker 1: still not sure.
Speaker 3: Would you believe that this beard is extremely itchy?
Speaker 1: You can take it off, mate, You've got the photot
Speaker 1: everything else.
Speaker 2: But it's it's a sweatboxing here at the MO.
Speaker 1: We are absolutely just covered and felt enjoying it. But
Speaker 1: it is the Christmas Special everyone, So I want to
Speaker 1: say massive thank you for tuning in. But without further ado,
Speaker 1: we're gonna get into a plenty of plenty of stuff here.
Speaker 1: I as we had mentioned before, there's out there's plenty
Speaker 1: going on and plenty of things to uh to jump into.
Speaker 1: But we'll start off with a bit of a footy
Speaker 1: chat and we're gonna go back into a back end
Speaker 1: footy chat also, so it's a bit of front and
Speaker 1: back end.
Speaker 3: Wait before we jump into this, I've got a bit
Speaker 3: of a surprise because you can't really have a Christmas
Speaker 3: episode without a couple of beverages.
Speaker 1: Oh, I'm training, by the way, Brighten.
Speaker 2: Hopefully not alk.
Speaker 3: No, this is good for you, okay, yeah, well questionably
Speaker 3: good for it. Yeah, oh good lord, got the egg
Speaker 3: got the eggnog? Oh, it's original from Paul's original from Falls.
Speaker 3: I was wondering if this I don't I don't know
Speaker 3: if I've had eggnog.
Speaker 2: I've had ever.
Speaker 3: I've had egg flip from Big m I don't know
Speaker 3: what that is.
Speaker 1: No, we've done a few things of my first Australian
Speaker 1: experience where they'll be fairy bread with a pound of butter.
Speaker 1: We did that earlier in the season, and believe me,
Speaker 1: that was a bit of a question mark. So maybe
Speaker 1: it's time to reverse the tables and you know, have
Speaker 1: you have a first experience of what eggnog is now?
Speaker 1: It doesn't sound delicious, I'll be honest. Whoever came up
Speaker 1: with the name eggnog doesn't sound like something I would
Speaker 1: really be entertaining whenever it comes to a delicious drink
Speaker 1: per se.
Speaker 3: But let me get this on camera. You got to
Speaker 3: do a label out.
Speaker 2: Really looking for a bit of a Oh well it's thick.
Speaker 3: Oh is that real?
Speaker 2: Thick? Is that?
Speaker 1: Just?
Speaker 3: Is that basically what I liquid custard.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I mean, I'll give it a try.
Speaker 1: I don't think i'll be porn as big of a
Speaker 1: glass as you, but I.
Speaker 3: Was mindful that you knock over every drink that we've
Speaker 3: ever had in here.
Speaker 1: So I've just spilt a few drinks in this van.
Speaker 1: It smells a bit interesting. I don't know.
Speaker 3: I didn't go the smell test. Have a sip. Let
Speaker 3: me know what you what you think?
Speaker 2: Hmmm, it's aged good year, Good year? Geez.
Speaker 3: I don't think you want eggnug.
Speaker 2: That's a loud point. Okay, all right, well let's cheers
Speaker 2: to yeah to the first season. To the first season.
Speaker 2: It's been.
Speaker 1: It's been a hell of a rod nte and I'm
Speaker 1: excited for the next one.
Speaker 2: Cheers.
Speaker 3: Well, that's actually really nice.
Speaker 1: He's gone double dipped. He's gone for a second. The
Speaker 1: beard's okay, that's good. There's a bit on the mustache.
Speaker 2: Woo. Let it slide.
Speaker 3: Taking this off, all right, let's jump into the footy chat.
Speaker 3: We had the controversial dropping of the fixture during the
Speaker 3: Australian World Cup game. Personally, I couldn't give a shit,
Speaker 3: but have you had a have you had no, it's
Speaker 3: just a is it just round one or was it
Speaker 3: just round one?
Speaker 2: It was really just a show. So it was it's
Speaker 2: kind of like your ex.
Speaker 1: Girlfriend putting up a photo, you know, saying they're doing well,
Speaker 1: or starting new company, or just you know, maybe start
Speaker 1: dating someone new and you know, the ex boyfriend comes
Speaker 1: back and you know, puts up a photo with them
Speaker 1: dating someone else.
Speaker 2: It was really just.
Speaker 1: A I don't even know how to describe. It was
Speaker 1: kind of embarrassing.
Speaker 2: I thought.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's six am. You know, it's an Australian
Speaker 1: team national team. It's probably gone as far as you know,
Speaker 1: they've probably ever done. And you know, is there a
Speaker 1: moment to seane the IFL just comes out there and says,
Speaker 1: we want a chunk of this We want a little
Speaker 1: bit of this love. We need a little bit of
Speaker 1: this love. So what it wasn't It wasn't like, you know, okay,
Speaker 1: the game started at six now.
Speaker 2: AFL literally released it at six a m. On the dot.
Speaker 1: So it wasn't like, oh, you know, the game's over,
Speaker 1: will release it. You know, it's a little pre game.
Speaker 1: It was literally smack dab at six am in the morning.
Speaker 1: The AFL decided no, no, no, no, no, you are not
Speaker 1: the King of Australia. Here AFL is the King of Australia.
Speaker 1: And yeah, it was. It was an interesting, interesting choice
Speaker 1: to say the least. I mean, we're playing Geelong round one,
Speaker 1: so I'm pretty excited about that. That's gonna be a
Speaker 1: crazy good game. But the way they put it out
Speaker 1: literally the same day, same time as the Australian national
Speaker 1: team playing in the World Cup against Argentina. Leonel Messi
Speaker 1: maybe playing his last game ever, but as we now,
Speaker 1: unfortunately he's got knocked out. There's a very I mean,
Speaker 1: I'll give it to him as a valiant effort. They
Speaker 1: definitely put up a fight and you know, some might
Speaker 1: even say they had a chance to at least tie
Speaker 1: the game if it wasn't for some unfortunate circumstances. But
Speaker 1: it was interesting though. I mean, like they opened up
Speaker 1: Amy Park fet Square. I think maybe got a bit
Speaker 1: too crazy whenever they playing their last game making it
Speaker 1: into the next round and the Chao scenes of fed
Speaker 1: Square that day with the flares everything else was so
Speaker 1: cool to witness.
Speaker 2: It was just like.
Speaker 1: Something where I guess like soccer's playing with the number
Speaker 1: one sport in Melbourne River comes to supporter base. But
Speaker 1: to see that many people get around a national team
Speaker 1: in the World Cup that comes every four years, you know,
Speaker 1: and something that Australia probably isn't what's say, well known
Speaker 1: for in the sense of global sporting recognition. It was
Speaker 1: cool to see how just gun ho like Australians got
Speaker 1: for that for that game, and you know, they showed
Speaker 1: out for the next game against Argentina.
Speaker 2: Unfortunately didn't win that one, and.
Speaker 1: You know it's a credit to Messi and everyone else,
Speaker 1: and it's it's one of those things. Now, I just
Speaker 1: hope he wins the whole thing. I hope Messi wins.
Speaker 1: He goes out on a high. It's his last kind
Speaker 1: of World Cup he does, and you know he gets
Speaker 1: all the all the credit he deserves.
Speaker 3: There's a bunch of Assy players that were lining up
Speaker 3: after the game to get photos with Messi. I mean
Speaker 3: it's pretty cool, like a.
Speaker 1: League players like essentially playing Leon Messi. It's like the
Speaker 1: Dream Team back in the Olympics with Michael Jordan everything else.
Speaker 1: Like they would stay after just to take photos and
Speaker 1: get autographs with them whenever they just smashed them in
Speaker 1: a game.
Speaker 2: Beforehand.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's pretty cool getting back into footy because we
Speaker 3: went from footy to football. You returned to training recently,
Speaker 3: how's the rig You're feeling fit? Did you just slut
Speaker 3: straight back in?
Speaker 1: Oh? Always braydon you know me, the big fellaw just
Speaker 1: sluts right back in.
Speaker 2: It was interesting.
Speaker 1: I mean, I've come off essentially a groin injury from
Speaker 1: the last game, so it's still kind of sorting through that.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I've been pretty much able to do everything,
Speaker 1: So it's been good to kind of get back out
Speaker 1: there and see everyone. We've got that many new like
Speaker 1: faces and names and everything else. Like I'm really struggling
Speaker 1: at times to be running around, like catch the back
Speaker 1: of someone's head and know exactly who that is sometimes.
Speaker 1: So now learning the names, learning some new people in
Speaker 1: the ad inside and the coaches side and everything else,
Speaker 1: which has been awesome. So it's been it's been enjoyable
Speaker 1: time getting back. It kind of reminds you how much
Speaker 1: changes in the year. And now I'm into my ninth year,
Speaker 1: so I've seen quite a bit of coming and going
Speaker 1: whenever it comes to people. So it's uh kind of
Speaker 1: reminds you how fortunate you are to still be in
Speaker 1: the position you are.
Speaker 3: Did you talk to the draftees or do you make
Speaker 3: them wait, sweat it out a bit before you even
Speaker 3: notice that they exist.
Speaker 1: As soon as they got drafted, send a message say mate,
Speaker 1: if you need anything, let me know your family now
Speaker 1: essentially and whatever I can help you with. Just just
Speaker 1: feel free to ask and don't be afraid to ask questions.
Speaker 3: The whole show, they're all there, all the new guys, everyone.
Speaker 1: Not everyone. Well, I don't think Pendles has to be
Speaker 1: in till January. Sot on me to come back, which
Speaker 1: I don't kick. So I was, I was talking to Pillos,
Speaker 1: I said, where's my you know, I'm almost as old
Speaker 1: as you, Like, where's my chop out? Like?
Speaker 2: Why is it that I have to come back early?
Speaker 2: You know?
Speaker 1: And you get to sit off here and just you know,
Speaker 1: enjoy a few extra weeks of holidays, and so I'm
Speaker 1: back here grinding again.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but he doesn't. He's there like day one with like.
Speaker 1: He's probably there still more than I am, to be
Speaker 1: honest with you, he's uh, he's an.
Speaker 2: Ultimate professional as everyone else.
Speaker 1: But now it's it's it's good to have everyone back,
Speaker 1: and even the older boys that don't have to be
Speaker 1: back are definitely coming back. So it's probably a good
Speaker 1: sign of our of our culture at the So.
Speaker 3: We had Peter Bowl Old p Bowl on the podcast
Speaker 3: and we talked about the running challenge two k. Have
Speaker 3: you done it yet?
Speaker 1: No, the older boys didn't have to do it yet.
Speaker 1: It might be on Friday. I'm not really one hundred
Speaker 1: sent sure, so I'm a bit nervous. It sometimes just
Speaker 1: pops up out of the blue and he goes, all right, boys,
Speaker 1: we're gonna run two K and you're like, come on mate,
Speaker 1: but no, I haven't ran it yet. So I'm still
Speaker 1: yet to tick that box and find out exactly there's
Speaker 1: two k time trial. I feel like it doesn't really
Speaker 1: matter as far as time. The time is essentially tell
Speaker 1: them whether or not you're extremely out of shape or
Speaker 1: just a little bit out of shape, and there's if
Speaker 1: you always tell the boys. I said, look, you'll be
Speaker 1: all right as long as you're in front of me.
Speaker 1: If you're behind me, I'm believing you've got a bit
Speaker 1: of work to do. So that's my advice. Any person
Speaker 1: that comes into the club, any of the traded players
Speaker 1: or any of the guys that are new draftees.
Speaker 2: I always say, if you're behind me, believe me, you've
Speaker 2: got a bit of work to do.
Speaker 3: So Jacob Brian is drafted.
Speaker 1: Mate, Jacob Brian. I'm telling you, this man, he looks
Speaker 1: he reminds me of Joe Dirt. Now have you ever
Speaker 1: seen Joe Dirt the movie? You can imagine he is
Speaker 1: the all at one oh one like, and Jacob's got
Speaker 1: this thing and it is it is flowing. This thing
Speaker 1: is flowing. If there's one person you're definitely not gonna
Speaker 1: forget on the team when it comes to a haircut,
Speaker 1: it's gonna be this kid.
Speaker 2: Now, this kid, I'm telling you, he's.
Speaker 1: Got the most luscious locks I've ever seen him. I'm
Speaker 1: pretty jealous of it, to be honest. I made a
Speaker 1: bet in the offseason that I would actually grow a
Speaker 1: molet this year. So I'm still trying to figure out
Speaker 1: whether I don't want to do that. But I just
Speaker 1: don't think I'll stack up next to this guy and
Speaker 1: we'll put it up on the socials the photo of him,
Speaker 1: because he's just an absolute He's like five year. I
Speaker 1: feel like, you know, like you know, five year has
Speaker 1: just got the blonde locks. Just flowing back, you know.
Speaker 1: And it's kind of funny because it's like I won't
Speaker 1: forget I won't forget his name. I know exactly when
Speaker 1: I see the back of his head exactly who I'm
Speaker 1: talking to would be Jacob for sure.
Speaker 2: So credit to him. I think he might be.
Speaker 1: He might be up there pushing for the best, the
Speaker 1: best molt in the league, you know, against I think
Speaker 1: Sam Drapers Draper is probably number one at the moment,
Speaker 1: but I think he might be a close second thing
Speaker 1: pushing it.
Speaker 3: And I think we have the water cooler chat coming up,
Speaker 3: last water cooler chat for the year. So it's it's
Speaker 3: gonna be a big one.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a big one. You wouldn't believe who's
Speaker 1: gonna be out of the water cool chat? Yay, Kanye
Speaker 1: has made me once again. And now the appearance the
Speaker 1: man seems to be in the media more than anyone
Speaker 1: else in the world right now, for all the wrong reasons.
Speaker 1: Now Kanye has gone to Alex Johnshaw. Now I'll let
Speaker 1: you kind of figure out some of the details and stuff. Right,
Speaker 1: maybe you might know a little bit more about this,
Speaker 1: But here's going on throwing some absolute obscenities on this thing,
Speaker 1: and it's just one of those you just wonder now,
Speaker 1: I mean, have we gone to the point we just
Speaker 1: we just maybe turned it off, you know, just maybe
Speaker 1: just flick the switch and say, you know, it's just
Speaker 1: you know, he's just he's out of his mind.
Speaker 3: I'm saying it now, Kanye is done.
Speaker 2: Like you can huge statement by you that's a hot take.
Speaker 3: Well, it's nowhere near as huge as any of Kanye's statements.
Speaker 2: That's very true.
Speaker 3: Actually, there's no you can't come back from that. It
Speaker 3: was you know, he's obviously got his issues, but now
Speaker 3: he's just rebelling further and further. Like I think he's
Speaker 3: really going down the road of like you should be
Speaker 3: able to say anything you want because of freedom of speech,
Speaker 3: but it's just not true, Like you can't you know,
Speaker 3: represent companies. Yeah, he's still running for president in twenty
Speaker 3: twenty four. Like you can't run a country and say
Speaker 3: that you love Hitler and that the Nazi's got the
Speaker 3: bad end of the stick. It's like, nah, that's he's
Speaker 3: gone too far.
Speaker 2: You know, he's got an opinion doing me wrong. And
Speaker 2: he was welcome back to Twitter recently.
Speaker 1: Now Elon Mask obviously is kind of now the owner
Speaker 1: of Twitter and he's he's opened it back up to people,
Speaker 1: and Kanye West he was one of the persons, one
Speaker 1: of the people he's brought back on. But as with anything,
Speaker 1: Kanye was deleted essentially by Thursday, so he put up
Speaker 1: a swastika thing or something like that, and Elon was
Speaker 1: just like, mate, I just literally let you back in.
Speaker 1: Why you got to do this? And he's just no,
Speaker 1: Thursday back off, see you later.
Speaker 3: I just don't know when he because like a lot
Speaker 3: of people are being canceled, like when or how he disappears,
Speaker 3: because a lot of people will still get him on
Speaker 3: their platforms to draw in numbers. Yeah, but it's whether
Speaker 3: people start getting banned for having him on their platforms
Speaker 3: and stuff. Yeah, it's gonna be really interesting, but good riddance.
Speaker 1: Like I think it needs two months holiday. I think
Speaker 1: he's just shut down too much. Take the holiday, wrap
Speaker 1: it up, come back. Maybe maybe do a little bit
Speaker 1: of psychological stuff, you know, maybe go see a psych
Speaker 1: maybe go see a bit of a rehabit stuff, and
Speaker 1: then come back and then work on trying to take
Speaker 1: away all the damage you just created from your career.
Speaker 3: There are some concerning things like he's been seen like
Speaker 3: out in the streets, like no security guards and stuff
Speaker 3: like he's not and he was telling people whatever happens
Speaker 3: to him, happens to him and stuff. So people are
Speaker 3: thinking he's kind of like trying to fast track his
Speaker 3: own death type thing. Like yeah, so it's it's pretty crazy.
Speaker 3: It's concerning, but it's it's now it's at the point
Speaker 3: that it's like no one can help him because he's
Speaker 3: just ignoring everyone. It's it's a bit of like that
Speaker 3: whole thing if you tell someone they're a god and
Speaker 3: a genius and stuff their entire life and then you
Speaker 3: try to give them advice, Well it's like, well I'm
Speaker 3: a genius, Like why would I take advice from you?
Speaker 2: Exactly.
Speaker 1: So, yeah, it's it's not beyond saving everyone. There's always
Speaker 1: ways of being able to go find help. We will
Speaker 1: say that. So there's got to be a way for
Speaker 1: him to be able to turn things around, be able
Speaker 1: to become mentally healthy again hopefully, and yeah, just just
Speaker 1: to be able to stop doing these things because I
Speaker 1: feel like, you know, to be on the water cool
Speaker 1: Chat for all the wrong reasons every week is not
Speaker 1: where you want to be, Brandon, It's not where you
Speaker 1: want to be.
Speaker 3: It does feature quite often. Now, someone else that features
Speaker 3: quite often is Kim Kardashian. Is she in there?
Speaker 1: Kim k Oh, Kim Day, She's always in there. A
Speaker 1: big fan of Kim k. Now, Kim k recently has
Speaker 1: had to put in a restraining order now a restraining order.
Speaker 3: So against Kanye.
Speaker 1: That's probably that that's probably out there, but no, it's
Speaker 1: It's one of the things I wanted to kind of
Speaker 1: gauge a bit of an idea.
Speaker 2: Of this because we have these celebrities.
Speaker 1: Out there and they're they're well known around the world,
Speaker 1: and you know, what point do we sit there and
Speaker 1: need to say maybe like, you know, we got all
Speaker 1: this media attention, we get these cameras on them, everything else,
Speaker 1: like what is what is too much? You know, what's
Speaker 1: too much? What's crossing the line? And one of these
Speaker 1: people definitely crossed along. They said they were a kind
Speaker 1: of reading minds and telling Kim Kid what to say
Speaker 1: and stuff like that through some kind of inner telepathic
Speaker 1: or whatever it might be. And she's this guy showed
Speaker 1: up at her house, I think with a few little
Speaker 1: as you know, American American gifts called guns, and it's
Speaker 1: one of those things I think. You obviously, whenever something
Speaker 1: like that happens, you have to really take action because
Speaker 1: your your security is actually you know, at risk. So
Speaker 1: she's actually had a restraining order against this person. I'm
Speaker 1: sure this guy's not the only person she's a restraining
Speaker 1: order against. But it is quite interesting that people go
Speaker 1: to these depths, you know, with these celebrities everything else,
Speaker 1: try to get their attention and try to be associated
Speaker 1: with them and everything else. And I just it's gone
Speaker 1: too far sometimes, you know. It's like, I mean, I
Speaker 1: understand Kim K beautiful Ddie, you know, she's Pete Daves
Speaker 1: the next. We all know that it's a very good
Speaker 1: you know, that's a very good stat line. But let's
Speaker 1: be honest. We have to give some people kind of
Speaker 1: some private life whatsoever.
Speaker 3: Pete Davidson's like the more famous for being in a
Speaker 3: relationship as bizarre.
Speaker 2: It is bizarre.
Speaker 1: But you know, we're big Pete fans on this pot,
Speaker 1: we are.
Speaker 2: Big p fan.
Speaker 3: Pete's got a lot of fans. He's got a lot
Speaker 3: of fans.
Speaker 1: I think he's got a lot of fans because Pete
Speaker 1: I'll be honest, I don't think Pete's very attractive, and
Speaker 1: I feel like some people this.
Speaker 2: Is a very there's a very very big kind of question.
Speaker 1: A lot of females I've asked, it's very fifty to
Speaker 1: fifty someone were like, you know, he's super attractive. Other
Speaker 1: ones are like, nothing, nothing going right. And I think
Speaker 1: Pete just shows a bit of hope for people like us.
Speaker 1: You know, Pete's just that person is says, you know what,
Speaker 1: you might be able to snag a supermodel, just maybe
Speaker 1: you know, if I can do it, anyone.
Speaker 3: Can do it, even in these kids.
Speaker 1: Even these kids, I reckon, we've got the best chance here.
Speaker 1: You know, if we show a little bit of personality
Speaker 1: on the other side, maybe they'll kind of forget what's
Speaker 1: in front of them.
Speaker 3: Speaking of famous people that have had some stalker ish behavior,
Speaker 3: what's with Lady Ganga and a dog? Get shot?
Speaker 2: Lady Gaga had some interesting stuff happening. Now.
Speaker 1: She loves animals, right, She's a big person, into peta
Speaker 1: and all that kind of stuff, and dad she recently
Speaker 1: had someone walking her dogs, obviously a dog walkers. She
Speaker 1: probably can't be seen in public because of things like this,
Speaker 1: you know, you know, stalkers and whatnot. And this person
Speaker 1: actually shot one of her dogs. Now that's bad, don't
Speaker 1: get me wrong. But they also shot the dog walker.
Speaker 1: And I want to put this out there. There was
Speaker 1: twenty one year sentence, but all the stuff I read
Speaker 1: was twenty one year sentence for shooting a dog. No
Speaker 1: one actually mentioned the person who was also shot in
Speaker 1: the experience, and it was that that led to the
Speaker 1: twenty one years. Obviously it's assault, it's attempted murder. That's
Speaker 1: led to twenty one years in jail for this person
Speaker 1: trying to essentially kill a dog walker of Lady Gaga's dog.
Speaker 3: Surely most of it is the dog. Probably twenty years
Speaker 3: food and shooting the dog can't be shooting a dog,
Speaker 3: and then one year for shooting the dog walker.
Speaker 1: Camp I mean, shoot, I got no idea what kind
Speaker 1: of dog it was, but hey, I can only imagine
Speaker 1: it's probably some kind of chiwa war or.
Speaker 3: Something that I saw it. I think it's some kind
Speaker 3: of bulldog.
Speaker 2: A bulldog. I'm a big bulldog.
Speaker 3: And there's two of them.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I'm the other one.
Speaker 3: Still didn't get checked I did it?
Speaker 1: Maybe they do, as I always say on this pod,
Speaker 1: prayers up, Yeah, prayers up.
Speaker 3: Well they everyone survived, right or the dog didn't.
Speaker 2: I don't think so. I'm not sure. Give him what.
Speaker 1: I thought that twenty one years Yeah, the guys pay forward.
Speaker 3: I'm going to hope that it was because you didn't
Speaker 3: do your research. And the dog's fine. And well we've
Speaker 3: said this on the water Cooler Chat. You know, we
Speaker 3: just provide the headlines. You have to really deep dive
Speaker 3: a bit further. We're just here for entertainment to bring
Speaker 3: it up. And then you know what, your friends at.
Speaker 1: Work they give you a little bit more information. You
Speaker 1: look like the smart one that brought it up at work.
Speaker 3: Now, have you got anything else for us?
Speaker 2: Are we done?
Speaker 1: I've got one more one more to end out the
Speaker 1: water cool Chat for the year, and it is one
Speaker 1: of the most interesting people in the world. Hugh Hefner.
Speaker 1: Now rip, you know, prayers up. He has passed away. Now,
Speaker 1: Hugh Heffner, though he is he's.
Speaker 3: Cut, not funny man, that's not funny.
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, Hugh Heffner's life, I mean, let's be honest.
Speaker 1: He's got Pete Davidson on steroids.
Speaker 3: Now, he had a very good run.
Speaker 1: He had a great run, a great run for about
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty years. Now he recently has had
Speaker 1: something of his go up on auction. Is a two
Speaker 1: two year two thousand, the LA Lakers won the national
Speaker 1: championship in the NBA.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 3: Oh, he was point guard.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was not more guard. He would have been
Speaker 1: about seventy years old. I feel like and for some reason,
Speaker 1: Hugh Hefner got a championship ring.
Speaker 2: Now I'm just.
Speaker 1: Wondering what did Hugh Hefner do with the LA Lakers
Speaker 1: to deserve what is a championship ring. Now, I'm not
Speaker 1: saying anything happen. I'm just putting it out there that
Speaker 1: he did get a championship ring. What's a very touted
Speaker 1: thing that only on special people within the U the
Speaker 1: organization get and Hugh Hefner, who is I can only
Speaker 1: imagine probably not the best basketball coach out there, was
Speaker 1: given one of these rings, which is now got up
Speaker 1: on auction. So it's raised a few questions. You know,
Speaker 1: there is the era of Shaquille O'Neil, Kobe Bryant, a
Speaker 1: few of these others.
Speaker 2: The raised a few questions is how was he involved?
Speaker 3: Have you seen his pick and roll. No, well, what
Speaker 3: do you know how to pick him? What do you do?
Speaker 1: I'm say maybe three or three parties, you know, you know,
Speaker 1: back in those days, social media didn't exist, and essentially
Speaker 1: TVs and uh you know, camera phones and stuff was
Speaker 1: not a thing. So we're gonna get away with a
Speaker 1: few more things. Oh im, Sure it was lamar and
Speaker 1: lamar Odem might have been part of that team too.
Speaker 1: I don't really to do a bit of more fact
Speaker 1: checking there. And we all know lamar Odom. If you
Speaker 1: know NBA, you know he's got a few issues around
Speaker 1: h around his sex drive back then.
Speaker 3: So he's got no issues around the sex and know
Speaker 3: your role player role. If Hughes coming in and just
Speaker 3: delivering for the team and they went all the way
Speaker 3: and won the ring, hey give him one.
Speaker 1: I reckon covered all the bases. I will say, went
Speaker 1: the first, second, third, home run.
Speaker 3: That's the same splot. Yeah, that's the same sport America.
Speaker 2: Oh man.
Speaker 1: But that's essentially the last of the water cooler chat
Speaker 1: now it is. It is sad to see it go
Speaker 1: for twenty twenty two, but it is going to come
Speaker 1: back even bigger, even better in twenty twenty three, and
Speaker 1: we've got exciting news. I think we kind of alluded
Speaker 1: to it at the beginning of how this podcast is
Speaker 1: going to be beefed up, and it's it's going to
Speaker 1: be at the end. You know, I want I want
Speaker 1: to kind of hold you on everyone out. You know,
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a little little drop it here, drop
Speaker 1: it there, and then we're gonna give you the full
Speaker 1: explanation everything at the very end of this.
Speaker 3: I've scrapped everything else except for Florida Man.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 1: So we're doing very Florida Man.
Speaker 3: We're doing all Florida Man, and we're doing the best
Speaker 3: of so there's no bad takes in here. They're all bangers.
Speaker 3: So we're going to Florida, which provide what's the good?
Speaker 3: If you're a fan of the Pond, you know we
Speaker 3: are a big Florida Man fans. So let's start off
Speaker 3: with a nice, innocent one. Naked man chases two strangers
Speaker 3: around a Chick fil A parking lot.
Speaker 2: Oh, Chick fil A. It's oh good first thing. I
Speaker 2: you can never get home.
Speaker 1: Oh, And you know the funny thing is naked man
Speaker 1: running around Chick fil A is about the most ironic
Speaker 1: thing because it's like the most religious organization you'll ever make.
Speaker 1: It's closed on Sundays. It's massive, it's a huge around
Speaker 1: the world. It's the worst thing because Sundays. What is
Speaker 1: a Sunday? It's the hangover day. You want something healthy,
Speaker 1: You've woken up regretting everything you've done the night before,
Speaker 1: and you think, you know what, maybe I can turn
Speaker 1: things around. I'll start getting my diet right, I'll stop drinking.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go chick fly.
Speaker 2: It's quick, it's easy, it's healthy.
Speaker 1: It's closed Sundays. It's closed. It's the most just annoying
Speaker 1: thing you could possibly imagine. It should be a crime.
Speaker 1: It really should be a crime.
Speaker 3: Bat Come well, realistically, you should be going to church
Speaker 3: to repent for your sins from the Saturday.
Speaker 2: That's where everyone Chick fl A is not me. I
Speaker 2: want some fast food burgers.
Speaker 3: So a Palm Coast man strip naked, chased two unwinning
Speaker 3: strangers around a Chick fil A parking lot, then yelled.
Speaker 2: You gotta get through this bride, get through it.
Speaker 3: Then yelled for deputies to look at his genitals, and
Speaker 3: then he started yelling, you're gay for looking at my penis.
Speaker 2: They fell for it.
Speaker 1: They just walked right into it covered.
Speaker 2: He got him, He got him.
Speaker 1: I'm sure they were like, ah, hey, tip of the hats,
Speaker 1: or you have a fantastic day. You got it.
Speaker 3: There was no explanation given for his behavior. So normally
Speaker 3: there's a you know, you get a reason at the end.
Speaker 3: It's like they were on myth or something. But not Hatzel.
Speaker 3: He was just it was just another day.
Speaker 1: Late Saturday night. He was pissed off. Chick flow wasn't open. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I had to cut back, make a scene.
Speaker 3: Labelle's Senior High School prank goes too far.
Speaker 2: Bell Senior High School shut out Labell.
Speaker 3: LaBelle Senior High School students managed to send an email
Speaker 3: addressed to the entire faculty, staff and students and I'll
Speaker 3: let you hear it straight from there.
Speaker 2: And then it all started with this prank. It reads
Speaker 2: mandatory penis inspection.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and this prank was actually addressed to all students,
Speaker 3: staff and faculty at Label High School. Mandatory penis inspection
Speaker 3: sent to the entire staff, all the students.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So, I mean when we did our mandatory penis inspections
Speaker 3: at my high school physical we just got a text
Speaker 3: and it was just the principal and he said come
Speaker 3: to his house.
Speaker 2: What what?
Speaker 3: No, No, that's that's a jug.
Speaker 2: Wow, there's a lot of.
Speaker 3: The LaBelle High School. Dean said. Students had to send
Speaker 3: an email to parents apologizing for the prank. So no harm,
Speaker 3: no foul, right for out?
Speaker 2: Hey credit.
Speaker 1: I mean like that's a bit of diving to get
Speaker 1: everyone's email and everything else to send out like a
Speaker 1: bulk message to the whole school.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I reckon, there's an insider.
Speaker 1: That's got to be an insider. Who's the inspector? I reckon,
Speaker 1: I'm telling you we had something similar. We called it
Speaker 1: a drug test. Funny, funny enough, still getting those Pierce inspections.
Speaker 3: Now we're into kind of sad and this one would
Speaker 3: just piss me off. Failed drug test mistake sends woman
Speaker 3: to jail for months. So the mother of four, who
Speaker 3: never broke the law, did nothing wrong, sat in jail
Speaker 3: for five months. What now her name's Rebecca. Rebecca's perfect
Speaker 3: storm of hell started when she ran out of gas
Speaker 3: on the road. A Pasco County Sheriff's Office deputy pulled
Speaker 3: up behind her, but instead of helping her, like why
Speaker 3: would you, he asked if he could search her car.
Speaker 2: She said yes.
Speaker 3: He said, what are these? She said, they're vitamins. He
Speaker 3: said they look like oxy codine. She said, well they're not.
Speaker 3: He tested them. They came back positive for oxy codeine.
Speaker 3: She went to jail, couldn't post a five thousand dollars bond.
Speaker 3: Stayed in there for five months until the husband could
Speaker 3: get five grand together. Now, I don't know what he's doing. Russell,
Speaker 3: russell some coins together, mate, your wife, the mother of
Speaker 3: your children, sitting in prison. I think you could get
Speaker 3: five grand together quicker than five months. Ask a friend.
Speaker 2: I don't know you enjoyed the five months the house on.
Speaker 3: The phone to her. Yeah, no, it's coming together. Dots
Speaker 3: of eyes crossed, some te's it'll become and in the
Speaker 3: mail any day now. So she sits in there for
Speaker 3: five months, it takes seven months for the lab results
Speaker 3: to come back. They come back negative and say they
Speaker 3: were just vitamins.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, Oh that's just that's just tough. The
Speaker 1: bail thing blows my mind, like, surely five grand you
Speaker 1: can figure out. First of all, the back of the
Speaker 1: father of her children was just like, so she's she's
Speaker 1: there for five months, stuck there, not allowed to come home,
Speaker 1: not allowed to bother me. Oh yeah, this five grand
Speaker 1: is gonna be real tough to get.
Speaker 3: Super Bowls coming on. Yeah, so that she was understandably
Speaker 3: pretty flat. Yeah that's and you you kind of like
Speaker 3: seven months the kids think that their mum is on
Speaker 3: oxes and sitting in prison. So yeah, not good. And
Speaker 3: she might sue, but who knows. Might she should for
Speaker 3: at least five grand, and they're suer for anything. Now,
Speaker 3: this one, this is a disclaimer. This is we don't
Speaker 3: condone this behavior. Can you just say that to the
Speaker 3: down the camera. We don't condone the next story just.
Speaker 2: For legal legal reasons. We do not condone this next story.
Speaker 3: One time amateur MMA fighter arrested fair head kicking swans
Speaker 3: in Florida.
Speaker 2: What stick with us? Stick with us.
Speaker 3: Here, Orlando, I'm crying already. Orlando police arrested thirty four
Speaker 3: year old Roco.
Speaker 2: Joseph shitty step brother. It's Rocco Rocky.
Speaker 3: No, No, what are you doing mate? I just had
Speaker 3: kicking swans in the park. Police attended the scene after
Speaker 3: a caller haderved a man kicking animals throughout the park.
Speaker 2: We don't condone it.
Speaker 3: Mentella has been charged with one count of animal cruelty
Speaker 3: and was given a thousand dollars bond. All right, so
Speaker 3: you think it's.
Speaker 2: Over, just is getting me.
Speaker 3: What are you looking at, Swan?
Speaker 2: Stop staring at me, Swan.
Speaker 3: It's not Rocco's first run in with police. Earlier in
Speaker 3: the month, he was arrested for trespassing and walt Disney World.
Speaker 3: In March, he was arrested with attempted robbery and disorderly
Speaker 3: conduct conduct after allegedly taking food from people's trays at
Speaker 3: McDonald's before threatening to rub a couple in a nearby
Speaker 3: parking lot. O give me them nuggetsco.
Speaker 2: Doing God's work.
Speaker 3: Just the one time amateur MMA fighter arrested for head
Speaker 3: kicking swans. But yeah, that's it. That's all I've got
Speaker 3: for he.
Speaker 2: Oh, that's a great Florida man.
Speaker 1: To end on far out, I just wanted to get
Speaker 1: a quick shout out, Florida man, thank you for providing
Speaker 1: the goods all year. I'm sure you'll provide plenty, plenty
Speaker 1: more and the next two months a month and a
Speaker 1: half before we come back on here. Given the holiday season,
Speaker 1: I'm sure you'll have plenty for us to dissect into
Speaker 1: and already get back. But I hope everyone's enjoyed it.
Speaker 1: Thanks so much for listening. And that's one of our
Speaker 1: favorite parts of the part. It's actually hilarious every single
Speaker 1: time there's some ridiculous waggy story coming out of there.
Speaker 1: But thanks so much, and uh yeah, we'll jump into
Speaker 1: the next thing.
Speaker 2: Now. People are interested, Braden. They've been wondering.
Speaker 1: I know even I was back in the States, everyone
Speaker 1: was asking, what's going on Braden's dating life? You know,
Speaker 1: give us an update, what's happening.
Speaker 3: Well, if you can see the visual, you probably don't
Speaker 3: ask many questions. Fucking sitting here in a Santa suit,
Speaker 3: so four thousand degrees and this thing is just like
Speaker 3: a felt coffin. Not a lot of luck on the
Speaker 3: dating scene. Surprisingly, I didn't do anything that I said
Speaker 3: I was going to do last week. I didn't delete
Speaker 3: any of the apps. I actually don't. Well that's a
Speaker 3: that's a lie. And I'll give you a tip, anyone,
Speaker 3: anyone on bumble you you can get through all of Melbourne.
Speaker 2: Just saying there's no options. Laughter, gave up.
Speaker 3: It's the equivalent of the Netflix thing, that's like you
Speaker 3: sure are you still watch.
Speaker 2: Bro?
Speaker 3: Keep playing on fucking I'm trying to watch an entire series. Yeah,
Speaker 3: when you keep swiping for long enough, it says the
Speaker 3: end of the road. Buddy there saying there's plenty of
Speaker 3: fish in the sea, but far you get your fish,
Speaker 3: you fish through the ocean here. But the little tip
Speaker 3: is if you regularly delete your account and like initiate,
Speaker 3: reinitiate it started again, that resets, and not only that,
Speaker 3: they give you a free boost for half an hour.
Speaker 3: And not only that, because they're trying to entice you in,
Speaker 3: you just get tons of matches. So I did that
Speaker 3: for the millions, hoping for a better result. I've done
Speaker 3: it a few times. But don't get me wrong. People
Speaker 3: out there that discourage Maybe you're encouraged by my You're like,
Speaker 3: I'm not so shiit, Like look at Brandon and Mates
Speaker 3: and there wearing fellows. Yeah, don't be discouraged. We're going
Speaker 3: to you know, assess it's pre season. Back to the grind.
Speaker 3: We get through it. If it was a bit sunnier,
Speaker 3: it might be a bit easier. But yeah, I got
Speaker 3: to figure that out. I won't get off the apps,
Speaker 3: I'll just keep swiping. Get that little bit of doper Maine.
Speaker 3: When you get the match, you know, give me a
Speaker 3: little self esteem, take me off the floor, booster and yeah,
Speaker 3: I don't know. Maybe when we come back, might have
Speaker 3: a girlfriend, I might have a wife.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know that we're going to take a few
Speaker 1: weeks off. You might have an opportunity to actually go
Speaker 1: on a date. Maybe this is from this. You have
Speaker 1: to commit to a few girls you've matched with on
Speaker 1: your on your dating apps.
Speaker 2: How about that?
Speaker 1: So you come back and we're gonna have a full
Speaker 1: date dive these dates.
Speaker 3: Wait, so instead of instead of doing the podcast, I
Speaker 3: allocate the podcast time to dating.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we still need to do some upgrading, don't get
Speaker 1: me wrong, but I'll give you some more free time.
Speaker 1: We'll get a little break over Christmas, as everyone knows,
Speaker 1: and we'll be back bigger and better than ever. And
Speaker 1: we'll have plenty of dating stories that you've been on.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, and I'll be positive, I'll.
Speaker 1: Be you know what, it's all content brighton.
Speaker 3: The bad ones make the podcast. I can't be having
Speaker 3: good dates. It doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll go back into it. And I think a
Speaker 1: lot of people are asking this. It kind of goes
Speaker 1: into the fan questions also which is the next segment?
Speaker 1: But a lot of people were asking, you know, what
Speaker 1: are you looking forward to in the upcoming season, you know,
Speaker 1: and what is going to be the highlights hopefully that
Speaker 1: you get, you know, coming into it. And I think
Speaker 1: a lot of people have of expectations. Are I'm playing
Speaker 1: with football club at the moment, given the fact that
Speaker 1: we did so well last year and if we're supposed
Speaker 1: to finish, what last does they go over?
Speaker 3: I can see that there's expectations around Collingwood anytime a year.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, like I came back now, I think
Speaker 1: that one only thing I realized is like you come back,
Speaker 1: and he realized there's three cameras there day one.
Speaker 2: You're like, okay, back into it.
Speaker 1: People definitely interested in football, and the whole cycle starts again.
Speaker 3: First year Fly comes in. He's the prodigy. He brings
Speaker 3: all this like hope and optimism, and everyone's like, culture
Speaker 3: is great. Now, the expectations there. There was no expectation before, none,
Speaker 3: No one expected it to go the way that it did.
Speaker 3: Everyone attributed it to Fly, and now there's expectations.
Speaker 1: I have a huge amount of belief in this team,
Speaker 1: a huge amount of belief more we can do, and
Speaker 1: I think like hopefully this year is one of those
Speaker 1: years that we can actually prove that.
Speaker 2: And you just never know.
Speaker 1: I mean, like any years, you know there's crapshit with
Speaker 1: injuries and everything else. You just never know what the
Speaker 1: year is going to be able to provide. But I
Speaker 1: think where we're at right now, given the decisions we've
Speaker 1: made and the people have brought in and some of
Speaker 1: the coaching staff and some of the players and everything else,
Speaker 1: we're in a very good position to start off the
Speaker 1: year hopefully very strong. And yeah, I'm excited, like it's
Speaker 1: an exciting time to be there.
Speaker 2: It really is.
Speaker 1: And you know, I think you talked about last year
Speaker 1: there wasn't as much expectation with this year, there will be,
Speaker 1: but I kind of like expectation.
Speaker 2: You know, it means you're doing well.
Speaker 3: So are you playing rock or Ford or has that
Speaker 3: not been discussed yet?
Speaker 1: Just play a bit of everything? Brighton, you know I'm
Speaker 1: a utility. Is that they were calling out small forward? Yeah,
Speaker 1: small forward. I'm a good crummer and you just haven't
Speaker 1: really seen me do it yet. A beginning great bench
Speaker 1: player too. No, it's I'll probably play a bit of
Speaker 1: Rockford Forward. I think it would be a bit similar hopefully.
Speaker 1: I think we haven't had the conversation yet, but it'll
Speaker 1: be around the same as last year. I think, with
Speaker 1: how we finished off and everything else, it's a formula
Speaker 1: that you know, we're willing to tweak, don't get me wrong,
Speaker 1: but we'll kind of see where it all lands.
Speaker 3: How many games do you have until you hit one hundred?
Speaker 1: I'm so sure. I think it's four or six, you
Speaker 1: know exactly. I actually don't see this. We always find
Speaker 1: a weird you account games. But it is it is
Speaker 1: close Brighton. It's under ten. I know that because people
Speaker 1: keep reminding me.
Speaker 2: But it is.
Speaker 1: It is close, which is on my mind. Don't get
Speaker 1: me wrong. It is on my mind because the play
Speaker 1: one hundred games and the forty six is going to
Speaker 1: be pretty cool hopefully if it happens. But yeah, it's
Speaker 1: it's something I think. If it is six, I think
Speaker 1: it almost lands on Anzac. So if it does land
Speaker 1: on Ansac Day, imagine it was like first game Mansac Day,
Speaker 1: fiftieth game An'sac Day, and then one hundredth game mans
Speaker 1: Ac Day fiftieth fifty. Yeah, it's kind of crazy. But
Speaker 1: I'm not going to look too far ahead. And you know,
Speaker 1: as I say, take it one step at a time,
Speaker 1: take it one day at a time. But no, hopefully,
Speaker 1: if if all goes well and it's it's successful and
Speaker 1: a good season, then hopefully I can get to a hundred.
Speaker 3: It's just a few you'll be able to knock it out.
Speaker 1: I don't want to get ahead of myself, Brydon. I'm excited.
Speaker 1: I'm excited. And it's like, who would have thought you
Speaker 1: met me day one coming into the club.
Speaker 2: You saw how shit I was.
Speaker 1: I couldn't see it, couldn't kick a footy to save
Speaker 1: my life, could not even handball, couldn't kick a footy,
Speaker 1: couldn't run a two k time trial. I'll tell you
Speaker 1: that I was shit out and that is the true
Speaker 1: meaning of it.
Speaker 3: Hey, it depends who you ask if you can do that.
Speaker 2: Now, still question Boke, Still very much question Bike got
Speaker 2: him again.
Speaker 1: But I will allude to other things out because there
Speaker 1: are some other interesting stuff that's going to happen this
Speaker 1: year with footy. Both of us are kind of starting
Speaker 1: up a little bit of a side project, you could say,
Speaker 1: trying to bring AFL to the United States.
Speaker 2: And trying a bit.
Speaker 1: Of you know, we'll dive into more details and you'll
Speaker 1: definitely see it in the next the next couple of months,
Speaker 1: But there's gonna be some exciting stuff to help Americans
Speaker 1: get on board. And it's it's really something I'm very
Speaker 1: passionate about. I think whenever I come to post career
Speaker 1: and just being able to spread the game that I
Speaker 1: think is one of the greatest games in the world
Speaker 1: to the rest of the world.
Speaker 3: What would be your hope what happens? Will Americans start
Speaker 3: liking it or just yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean like they're one of the biggest entertainment you
Speaker 1: know countries in the world. Like you look at us
Speaker 1: and you know, you look in the last five ten years,
Speaker 1: you see how much of the NBA and NFL and
Speaker 1: everything else has grown over here with the ability to
Speaker 1: have access to it through you know, the Internet, And
Speaker 1: I think that's that's something that definitely can be reversed.
Speaker 1: And I think people in America definitely, you know, get
Speaker 1: on board, download the you know, watch AFL app whatever
Speaker 1: it is the same as you would do ANBA or
Speaker 1: NFL or any other sport and be able to get interested,
Speaker 1: you know, And there's plenty of plenty enough going on,
Speaker 1: plenty of wacky, weird things people can learn and get
Speaker 1: sorted and everything else. But I want to be somewhat
Speaker 1: of a conduit between the two to be able to helpfully,
Speaker 1: you know, explain it better to people over there, to
Speaker 1: get them on board.
Speaker 3: We'll keep teasing them endlessly, We'll keep teasing them, but
Speaker 3: we will say that we again, we just love the
Speaker 3: fans tuning in each and every week, the dms that
Speaker 3: we're getting, the questions that you guys are throwing in,
Speaker 3: getting tagged in Florida, man like, endlessly getting I thought
Speaker 3: we'd get more negativity. That's just the cynic in me,
Speaker 3: but everyone's been you know, the amount of people that
Speaker 3: has sent us messages saying that probably you less me
Speaker 3: and the glasses, but how you've helped them with the
Speaker 3: glass and the like their son or daughter used to
Speaker 3: not play footy because they couldn't see, and now they're
Speaker 3: wearing glasses because you're an inspiration and stuff like that.
Speaker 3: Just spreading the word of that. And yeah, the podcast,
Speaker 3: the fact that it's grown to kind of what it is,
Speaker 3: and like even the Spotify rap, seeing how many people
Speaker 3: have us in their top ten, top five, Top one.
Speaker 3: We had like tons of people with us as their
Speaker 3: top podcast. It's awesome because it started off as such
Speaker 3: a I don't know which.
Speaker 1: An idea it really was, and you mentioned I'll double down.
Speaker 1: We're just super grateful for everyone to listen in like
Speaker 1: it's it's pretty amazing. This is something that we're both
Speaker 1: kind of passionate about and just come out of the
Speaker 1: blue and said, you know, we're gonna work together, try
Speaker 1: to make this as big as possible, to put us
Speaker 1: smile on some people's faces throughout the days and have
Speaker 1: a bit of a laugh ourselves and you know, educate
Speaker 1: people in the water cool chat. But yeah, no, it's
Speaker 1: it's amazing that we don't exist without people listening. So yeah,
Speaker 1: it's just phenomenal to be We're out right now to
Speaker 1: finish up on a season one. And don't get me wrong,
Speaker 1: we've still got more to come here. We've got the
Speaker 1: biggest announcement of the season coming up to the very
Speaker 1: end of this podcast. Oh there's a bit of another
Speaker 1: drop for you, sez. Yeah, about four months. But in all, honestly, seriously,
Speaker 1: I want to say, I mean, I know I'm going
Speaker 1: to beat this to death. But you guys are and
Speaker 1: you guys and ladies are the reason that we are
Speaker 1: doing this and the reason we're enjoying it so much.
Speaker 1: And your feedback is amazing, helping out with different voicemails
Speaker 1: throughout the year and you know, giving feedback and all
Speaker 1: that just something that we've enjoyed, you know, being able
Speaker 1: to bring this community together to have a bit of
Speaker 1: fun and hopefully put a smile on a few people's
Speaker 1: faces along the way.
Speaker 3: And saying that we've got the biggest part of our podcast.
Speaker 3: We've got the fan questions, and there were plenty. There's
Speaker 3: a lot of heartache and the dms. A lot of
Speaker 3: people can't believe that we're wrapping up, but we will
Speaker 3: be back bigger and better than ever. I mean, Mason
Speaker 3: won't be bigger.
Speaker 2: Because physically a possible.
Speaker 3: Don't find an oough suit bigger than that and can't
Speaker 3: fit him in the van if he keeps growing. But
Speaker 3: question number one, how did we handle the new fan base?
Speaker 3: The podcast fan base. I'll let you jump into this
Speaker 3: one because no doubt they got to you.
Speaker 1: It's just funny like walking down the street and someone saying,
Speaker 1: oh man, love the pot Keep it up, love the
Speaker 1: pot and like that's so cool to me. Like I've
Speaker 1: been out for drinks and stuff and people come up
Speaker 1: to me and say, you have no d who I am,
Speaker 1: but I'll listen to you every week and it's awesome.
Speaker 1: It's just so much fun and you know, have a
Speaker 1: bit of a laugh and some of the people you
Speaker 1: are I learn so much from and all those kind
Speaker 1: of things and it's cool and hopefully it gives people
Speaker 1: a bit of a different perspective of myself yourself. I
Speaker 1: think a lot of people are probably connected to myself
Speaker 1: as a calling With football player and they might hate
Speaker 1: me because I play for colling With Football Club, but
Speaker 1: there's a lot more to me than just that's just
Speaker 1: what I do for a living and playing sport. And
Speaker 1: hopefully this kind of gives a bit of a people
Speaker 1: an understanding of me away from it and you know,
Speaker 1: allows people to hear a bit of a funny side
Speaker 1: of me and yourself also around around this and you
Speaker 1: know it's something that you didn't really expect even doing
Speaker 1: so it's kind of cool to see how far you've
Speaker 1: come and being able to do these, you know, these
Speaker 1: little catchups with me and being able to have a
Speaker 1: chat and have a laugh around these kind of things,
Speaker 1: and it's a credit to you how much you've been
Speaker 1: able to do and people really enjoy it.
Speaker 2: Man. People always like, oh, dude, Brandon, who's he dating?
Speaker 2: Is he going to a date? Yet?
Speaker 1: People always ask you, they ask you about your date
Speaker 1: life right, And I'm telling you they're interested.
Speaker 3: I've got to do something I'm gonna lift.
Speaker 2: They want an update.
Speaker 3: And another one that we haven't shouted out. But it's different.
Speaker 3: I feel like we've got the Instagram, we've got the TikTok,
Speaker 3: but the YouTubers YouTube comment section is fire. Every week
Speaker 3: everyone tunes in. You get long, detailed like rite offs
Speaker 3: on each episode and like they pull it apart and
Speaker 3: what different parts they like spoke to them. So yeah,
Speaker 3: it's it's an awesome platform to get around and you
Speaker 3: get to see us wearing these Hessian coffins. And I
Speaker 3: swear to God, like as much as I love you guys,
Speaker 3: if you don't, if you don't love this episode, and
Speaker 3: we're sweating now, asses off, I don't know, maybe we
Speaker 3: won't be back next to you. So what are your
Speaker 3: New Year's plans?
Speaker 2: New Year's plans? I'm going to New Zealand, going fly
Speaker 2: fishing out in the out in the mountains.
Speaker 3: You know, well, maybe I don't give a shit. Maybe
Speaker 3: I don't give a ship because you do tons of stuff.
Speaker 3: You asked me, you asked me.
Speaker 1: What are you doing? What are you doing for nears? Nothing?
Speaker 1: You're going on a few dates, brain, and that's what
Speaker 1: you're doing. You're gonna be swiping right, right, right right.
Speaker 1: You're gonna be swiping right on a lot of females.
Speaker 1: And you can go on a few dates to keep
Speaker 1: us updated in the twenty twenty three.
Speaker 3: That's it's not a bad one. I went on a
Speaker 3: date once on you on New Year's and saw the fireworks. Wow,
Speaker 3: it wasn't my date. It was my friend and his
Speaker 3: now wife. They were just dating at the time and
Speaker 3: I didn't have a date, so I just went along
Speaker 3: and kind of just stared at the fireworks and died inside.
Speaker 2: It was great.

Speaker 1: not the greatest.
Speaker 3: How the how are you a third wheel? You're about
Speaker 3: twenty meters tall.

Speaker 1: of it's due to, you know, obviously, everything that's happened Ausralia.

Speaker 1: led to amazing opportunities back home they get to take
Speaker 1: and make make the most of when them.

Speaker 1: It's like summer, it's beautiful out there's big things going on, worldwide,
Speaker 1: events happening, like it is the time to really just
Speaker 1: soak it up.
Speaker 3: I feel like, let me give it a bit more
Speaker 3: like perspective from the normal person listening along to this podcast. See,
Speaker 3: imagine all the things that Mason just said, So the
Speaker 3: f one, Yeah, I was open all those massive events,
Speaker 3: and then just imagine that you get free tickets to
Speaker 3: all those things. That's where Mason's coming from. How cool
Speaker 3: would that be?
Speaker 1: Wow, it's a great experience, My amen everything. I bought
Speaker 1: tickets to Jack Johnson and Ziggi Alberts. It's on Thursday.
Speaker 1: I bought tickets to that. Okay, that was my hard
Speaker 1: earned money I spent on Okay.
Speaker 3: Hey, have you taken a date to any of these
Speaker 3: massive events?
Speaker 2: I haven't, you know.
Speaker 1: I always bought my brother and he said, the second
Speaker 1: you get a girlfriend, be fucking fu because I'm not
Speaker 1: going to be a plus one anymore.
Speaker 3: He's been riding that for thirty thirty plus years.
Speaker 2: Thirty plus years.
Speaker 1: He's gonna be feilthy at the female that I end
Speaker 1: up hopefully dating one day. Sorry, yeah, yeah, the third one.
Speaker 1: We got number three, number three creating this podcast. But
Speaker 1: it is very lovely. But this has been so enjoyable
Speaker 1: for myself getting into the media game a bit more,
Speaker 1: and you know, sitting here every single week being able
Speaker 1: to release something to everyone to enjoy and to consume.
Speaker 1: And you say, building this amazing community has been so
Speaker 1: awesome and a massive thank you for you to you
Speaker 1: for helping out this whole thing. It's been a cool
Speaker 1: experience that we've been talking about for a very long time.
Speaker 1: So it's great to see it come to fruition and
Speaker 1: great to see it doing well. And like I said,
Speaker 1: there's big news at the very end of this, so stated.
Speaker 3: We got to number one and we didn't even notice.
Speaker 2: I see this is Spotify. I was like, how good
Speaker 2: is this? Like far out rapped?
Speaker 3: Is Like, hey, Spotify, congrats started making number one. We
Speaker 3: were like what what was that?
Speaker 2: Thank you, thank you so much. Let's continue doing that.
Speaker 2: Let's keep think.
Speaker 1: You know, yeah, I like chair comments that's it on
Speaker 1: to a friend, you know, like kind of jazz. Yeah,
Speaker 1: next one, we'll go number two. Eleven game winning streak.
Speaker 1: You know, you talk about Jamie Elliott kicking and go
Speaker 1: after the siren. My career I thought was in the dumpster.
Speaker 1: It was a dumpster fire over career, believe me. But
Speaker 1: I thought it was. It was out towards the end,
Speaker 1: the very very end, I'd milk milked it dry, and
Speaker 1: that before that eleven game win streak, I really thought,
Speaker 1: you know, this was going to be the last kind
Speaker 1: of round to go around, and I thought I might retire,
Speaker 1: but was fortunate enough to get an opportunity and make
Speaker 1: the most of it and get another contract for this year.
Speaker 1: So that's that's something I you know, it was. It
Speaker 1: was tough going for a while, but we got through it.
Speaker 1: You know. I had a great experience from it and
Speaker 1: was able to win a few games and be able
Speaker 1: to make finals, and like we had mentioned before, I
Speaker 1: think like no real expectations and then.
Speaker 2: Be able to get to where we're at. It was.
Speaker 1: It was a great kind of accomplished for the for
Speaker 1: myself and for the club in general.
Speaker 3: And it was cool to document it on the podcast,
Speaker 3: Like every week, just another roller coaster, up and out.
Speaker 1: By thirty in the first quarter, come back and win
Speaker 1: by kick.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there wasn't many downs. It was all up. If
Speaker 3: you could just do that same thing again next year,
Speaker 3: just for the podcast, like maybe twenty wins or something,
Speaker 3: you can't go worse, Well go be honest.
Speaker 1: I went to go get my haircut the other day,
Speaker 1: a few gray hairs fell out. I'm running a lot,
Speaker 1: so I think if we could maybe just you know,
Speaker 1: get ahead in the first quarter and then continue that
Speaker 1: for four quarters, I'd be happy.
Speaker 3: That'd be cool.
Speaker 1: But I win to win, so I will take it
Speaker 1: anyway which way we can get, but I will go
Speaker 1: number one. None of the biggest things that happened this
Speaker 1: year that I enjoyed, and this thing is a bit
Speaker 1: more personal for myself, but getting citizenship was awesome, something
Speaker 1: eight years in the making. It was, you know, pretty
Speaker 1: cool to have a country consider yourself one of them,
Speaker 1: got to vote for the first time, which is pretty amazing.
Speaker 1: And it might seem silly, it might just seem like
Speaker 1: a bit of paperwork and everything else, but for myself
Speaker 1: to move yourself from your home country to an early
Speaker 1: country and be able to say, you know, a citizen
Speaker 1: is a massive deal. I'm super proud of. And the
Speaker 1: experience itself at the end, it was pretty amazing, just
Speaker 1: a full circle kind of moment, being able to get
Speaker 1: citizens git there and swear and at the place that
Speaker 1: kind of brought me out here. So that was my
Speaker 1: number one experience I think throughout the hall the whole year,
Speaker 1: pretty amazing and yeah, just super super grateful to be
Speaker 1: able to do.
Speaker 3: And every time you bring it up, I think about
Speaker 3: it that it's the first time, you know, you signed
Speaker 3: with the club. We chatted over Skype and it would
Speaker 3: have been I don't know what, twenty.
Speaker 2: Fourteen fourteen in my living room.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and side note, that video crashed our server and
Speaker 3: we lost everything except for what except for that one video.
Speaker 3: So I liked you coming in. We did plenty of
Speaker 3: stories over our time. But yeah, just I still can't
Speaker 3: wrap my head around the fact that you didn't know
Speaker 3: the sport existed. Now you're over here, you're almost one
Speaker 3: hundred games into your career. You dressed up as now
Speaker 3: sitting in a van in my driveway, just normal, as
Speaker 3: if you didn't see that coming.
Speaker 2: Yeah what I ever expected?
Speaker 3: It was obvious, But yeah, it's pretty crazy, and yeah
Speaker 3: it was massive. I feel like Melbourne almost stopped for
Speaker 3: your citizenship ceremony.
Speaker 1: It's a bit going on there. It was a very
Speaker 1: you know, heart felt.
Speaker 3: No filthy feel when filthy film comes to town, I
Speaker 3: feel like it's almost like Biden coming to town.
Speaker 2: Seriously. Actually, man, that stops the nation actually looks similar
Speaker 2: a bit younger in a week.
Speaker 3: So you just went through your top five moments for
Speaker 3: the year. Now, I think you might have you might
Speaker 3: have missed one out.
Speaker 1: There was a little plus one, A little plus one
Speaker 1: might have been alluding to this whole podcast A big,
Speaker 1: big announcement.
Speaker 3: Now we've been alluding to it for the past couple
Speaker 3: of months, as we said, and yeah, I think it's
Speaker 3: it's going to be great. It's good reward for us,
Speaker 3: it's a good reward for the podcast, and it's going
Speaker 3: to be great for all the listeners out there. Onto
Speaker 3: a bigger and better twenty twenty three hit us with
Speaker 3: the announcement, Mason.
Speaker 1: The big announcement we have been teasing four months, I'm
Speaker 1: saying months, is that we the Mason cock Show are
Speaker 1: now we're going to partner with iHeart Radio. Now, what
Speaker 1: does this mean? People might ask, how's this?

Speaker 3: So what we're going to do here is, well, we can't.
Speaker 3: We can't dress up like dickheads and not do anything
Speaker 3: Smiths related. So we had the egg nog. I don't
Speaker 3: mind it, but it is now question marks.

Speaker 3: it up.
Speaker 1: So, with out further adieu, to close out, twenty twenty two.
Speaker 3: Mason Cox with twas the night before Christmas.
Speaker 1: Twas the night before Christmas. Went all through the house,
Speaker 1: not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse, that's
Speaker 1: a mouse. The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
Speaker 1: in hopes that Saint Nicholas soon would be there. That
Speaker 1: children were nestled or snug in their beds, while visions
Speaker 1: of sugar plums d and in their heads. And Mama
Speaker 1: and her kerchief, and I in my cap, had settled
Speaker 1: down for a long winter's nap, went out on the lawn.
Speaker 2: There arose such a clatter.
Speaker 3: That's a clatter.
Speaker 2: Oh.
Speaker 1: I sprung from the bed to see what was the matter.
Speaker 1: Away to the window, I flew like a flash, tore
Speaker 1: open the shutters, and threw up the sash. The moon
Speaker 1: on the breast of the new falling snow gave the
Speaker 1: luster of midday. Two objects below. When what to my
Speaker 1: wondering eyes should appear? Put a miniature sleigh and ate
Speaker 1: tiny reindeer.
Speaker 2: That's the deer with a little old driver. So lively
Speaker 2: and quick I knew in a moment it must be
Speaker 2: Saint Nicko repid.
Speaker 1: Then eagles his courses they came, and he whistled and shouted,
Speaker 1: called them by name.
Speaker 3: Now dash shout, now, dance out, Now, Prancer and Vixen
Speaker 3: on comets, and Cupid on Donna and Blitzen.
Speaker 1: To the top of the porch, to the top of
Speaker 1: the Now, dashaway, dashaway, Dash away, all as draw leaves
Speaker 1: that before the wind, hurricane fly when they meet with
Speaker 1: an obstacle, mount to the sky. So up to the
Speaker 1: housetop the courses they flew with a sleigh full of toys,
Speaker 1: and Saint Nicholas too. And then in a twinkling I
Speaker 1: heard on the roof the prancing and pawing of each
Speaker 1: little hoof. As I drew in my hand and was
Speaker 1: turning around down the chimney, Saint Nicholas came with a bound.
Speaker 1: He was dressed in all fur from his head to
Speaker 1: his foot, and his clothes were all tarnished with ashes
Speaker 1: and soot. A bundle of toys he had flung on
Speaker 1: his back, and he looked like a peddler just opening
Speaker 1: his pack. Sounds it's so naughty. He's definitely on the
Speaker 1: naughty list this year. His eyes, how they twinkled, his dimples,
Speaker 1: how merry his cheeks were like roses, His nose like
Speaker 1: a cherry, was drawn up like a boat, and the
Speaker 1: beard his chin was as white as snow. The stump
Speaker 1: of a pipe he held tight in his teeth, and
Speaker 1: the smoke it encircled.
Speaker 2: His head like a reef.
Speaker 1: He had a broad face and a little round belly
Speaker 1: that shook when he laughed, like a bowl full of jelly. O.
Speaker 2: He was chubby and plump, A right old.
Speaker 3: Excuse me, you're chubby and plump.
Speaker 2: He was chovy and plump, all right, jolly old elf.
Speaker 1: And I laughed when I saw him in spite of myself,
Speaker 1: Oh myself, Ah, I'm in this.
Speaker 2: Who go elf?
Speaker 1: A week of his eye and a twist of his
Speaker 1: head soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread.
Speaker 1: He spoke not a word, but went straight to his
Speaker 1: work and filled all the stocking. Then turned with a jerk,
Speaker 1: and laying his finger aside on his nose, and giving
Speaker 1: a nod up the chimney, he rose. He sprang to
Speaker 1: his sleigh, to his team, gave a whistle, and away
Speaker 1: they all flew like the down of a thistle. But
Speaker 1: I heard him exclaim erie he doe out of sight
Speaker 1: Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night.
Speaker 1: But jit, everyone now, I just want to say a
Speaker 1: massive thank you for jumping on the podcast. It's been
