00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 1: but I will speak for myself Georgie Tunney. I talk

13
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:47,479
Speaker 1: about myself in the third person now as her most

14
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 1: unbearable self. The Brisbane Broncos. If you did not know

18
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 1: But just so you know, unhingedness.

19
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 2: Oh wait, this is existing in the vortex of Taylor

20
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:15,400
Speaker 2: Swift bringing out an album this week, the Lions coming

21
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 2: off a premiership even in the NRLW, the Broncos are

22
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 2: a chance and the fact that there's a twenty year

23
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 2: drought of your beloved Broncos that may potentially happen this

24
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 2: week and a deal, Listeners, I am concerned for Georgie's

25
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:32,120
Speaker 2: well being if you can max out on happiness.

26
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 1: Also, dear listeners, I should point out that Jelmy is

27
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 1: currently speaking wearing a Broncos beanie that I have.

28
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,759
Speaker 2: Merch that I've physically seen I technically, by the way,

29
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 2: could I everyone, everyone welcome? Welcome. I was really glad

30
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 2: that you gave that PSA, because I don't even know

31
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 2: where to start, Georgie. There is so much sport happening

32
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 2: at the moment that my tidy brain can't handle it all.

33
00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 2: We've got an NBA team in town. Oh yeah, we've

34
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 2: got the Dalla happening last night. Yeah, we've got to

35
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 2: talk about mad Monday because, as we mentioned, Brisbane, my

36
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 2: goodness just run away witness of the Grand Final. No

37
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 2: one saw them coming except for you. But what a week?

38
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:15,640
Speaker 2: What a time? What a week? What a time?

39
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,519
Speaker 1: And I think we should begin then before I get

40
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 1: too crazy.

41
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 2: I wish this was a visual medium, because the crazy

42
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 2: has already left the building, Babe, or at more the

43
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 2: point it's in the building.

44
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 1: With this, I'm currently adorned in a Broncos jersey of

45
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 1: Broncos hat, and I've got my Lions scuff that.

46
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,839
Speaker 2: I'm looking into. McCluggage and Oscar mcameronny the badges, those

47
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 2: are my choices of badges. I think I've nailed it.

48
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:37,920
Speaker 2: You have very I've nailed it.

49
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 1: This is a scaff that is a premiership winning scuff.

50
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:44,639
Speaker 1: I wore this to the g at the Grand Final

51
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 1: for the Lions Cats game. And I tell you what,

52
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,520
Speaker 1: it's real enjoyable to know that you're going to win

53
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 1: a Grand final with a.

54
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 2: Quarter left at somewhere you don't happen in rubby.

55
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 3: Can we oh my god, can we talk about the

56
00:02:58,240 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 3: preliminary final very quickly?

57
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 2: Oh my god? Oh no, we'll get there. We'll get there,

58
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 2: We'll get the l We'll get it's all over. It's

59
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 2: been a lot. It's been a lot. It's been having

60
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 2: a format to this. It's been three seasons. We believe

61
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 2: that there's a format. She was part of a good

62
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,359
Speaker 2: sport of basketball before I'm like, oh oh this, oh

63
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 2: oh oh oh no.

64
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 1: Let's continue on good sports theme because it has to

65
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 1: go to the Brisbane Lions.

66
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:27,920
Speaker 2: They were unbelievable. Chris Fagan, what a man has to

67
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 2: be in the discussion now is one of the greatest coaches.

68
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 2: Having gone to three back to back to back Grand

69
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 2: Finals and now being back to back finals is so

70
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 2: hard to do in a modern era.

71
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 1: It may have been missed a little bit. I know

72
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 1: we were talking about, you know, the lines going back

73
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 1: to back. Imagine if they could do that, incredible, But

74
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 1: the fact that they did make three straight Grannies, yes,

75
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 1: I think that was the line that was sort of like,

76
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 1: oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, whatever. But when that's huge,

77
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 1: absolutely huge, and it has been off the back of

78
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 1: Chris Fagan, who is such a man manager.

79
00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 2: I'm going to put him up there with Malmoninger.

80
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 1: Wow, because he I think on the Grand Final though,

81
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 1: players want to play for him, right, and so people

82
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 1: will go to that club because they want to be

83
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 1: coached by him, they want the culture that he breeds.

84
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 2: It's also this idea that he keeps being likened to

85
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 2: a dad figure and I'm like, yeah, that's because they

86
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 2: played eight players under twenty two. Yeah they did. That's

87
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 2: because they're children by Like, I know that he's the

88
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 2: oldest coach that we have in the league, but good god,

89
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 2: if that's how good they are, if that's how good

90
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 2: Will Ashcroft is at twenty one in his third season,

91
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 2: getting back to back Norm Smith's and looking like he

92
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 2: did it for fun. Yeah.

93
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 1: I don't even think he's played sixty AFL games in

94
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 1: his career yet he's a two time what yeah, two

95
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 1: time Norm Smith medallist. Ty Gallup must think that AFL

96
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 1: football is the easiest thing ever done. It was his

97
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,840
Speaker 1: sixth game and he's won a flag and.

98
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 2: They only just like plucked him from nowhere because Hipwood

99
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 2: was injured.

100
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, and he's not even twenty yet. Maybe I think

101
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 1: he's still a teenager. I mean, Levi Ashcroft is still

102
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 1: a teenager. Like these kids are actually kids. What I

103
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:07,599
Speaker 1: would like to point out though with Chris Fagan is

104
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 1: that I thought tactically he was brilliant, Yes or the locky.

105
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 2: Neil the lock sub. And he said himself postmatch in

106
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:18,840
Speaker 2: one of the most gleeful post matches, he was like, oh,

107
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,040
Speaker 2: I was up at three am last night being like,

108
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 2: is this a good idea? Because they chose to keep

109
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 2: him not only as the sub and the sub brawl

110
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 2: by the way rest in peace. Oh yeah, the sub

111
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 2: brule's gone, the bounce is gone. It's there's so much

112
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,279
Speaker 2: that we could be discussing at the moment it's actually wild,

113
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:36,599
Speaker 2: but that's the last we're ever going to see off

114
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,360
Speaker 2: a sub and how perfect that it was used as

115
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 2: the super sub. And I love Locky Neil, who does

116
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 2: his own podcast. You don't have to listen to it.

117
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:46,359
Speaker 2: This is the only sporting podcast that you need to

118
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 2: listen to. For the record, Yes says that before he plays,

119
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 2: he looks at himself in the mirror. I love he

120
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 2: prefaces this by going, I don't want to sound, you know,

121
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:57,039
Speaker 2: a little bit up myself, but I look at myself

122
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,840
Speaker 2: in the mirror and go, if you're on today, you're

123
00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 2: the best player in the AFL, is what he says

124
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 2: to himself. And I might well two time Brownlow you

125
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 2: probably get away with saying that. I believe he looked

126
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:09,159
Speaker 2: at himself at halftime and was like, you are the

127
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,719
Speaker 2: best player in the AFL, and ye're the only one

128
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 2: with fresh legs. They are all run off their feet.

129
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 2: You are ready to go and you're about to run

130
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 2: through them. He was on seventeen touches, seven clearances. He

131
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 2: was unbelievable.

132
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:28,159
Speaker 1: And what everyone forgets now because the final score line

133
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,280
Speaker 1: was so massive forty seven point victory to the Lions.

134
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:34,040
Speaker 2: Huge risk. It was thirty six all at half time,

135
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 2: wasn't it. It was macular.

136
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 1: Scores were locked. Yeah, So the difference is locking Neil.

137
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 1: He was incredible.

138
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,160
Speaker 2: Which if the old man rolls out there and does

139
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 2: a calf, yes, I am referring to locking Neil, everyone goes,

140
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 2: oh what Or if they don't get there and he

141
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 2: comes out and has a blistering second half, they're like,

142
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,040
Speaker 2: you're wasted the two time Brown Law medalist for half

143
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,600
Speaker 2: a game on the bench. Instead, it just was poetic

144
00:06:57,640 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 2: and how it all played out, it just worked.

145
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 1: It just worked, and by the end of it, like

146
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 1: you could see that the kids were just having the

147
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:07,279
Speaker 1: most fun, the most fun. When Will Ashcroft can I

148
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 1: just say, I was like, well, when Will Ashcroft had

149
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 1: the share in and just like lifted it above his

150
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 1: head on the I was just like, yeah, guys.

151
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 2: I am that good? And then the Cats immediately scored afterwards.

152
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 2: I was like, Okay, that's a lesson. There's a lesson there,

153
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 2: norm But when you have that greater hair, I don't know.

154
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 3: I don't know.

155
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 2: Erect the statue is so much to be said though

156
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 2: about it does bring into question potentially the father son

157
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 2: rule because if you love the son. But when they've

158
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 2: got Fletcher as well, so they've got three players that

159
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 2: have come to this a gun.

160
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 1: And can I just say one of the most most

161
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 1: of the baby so at all of the of the

162
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 1: baby babies, one of the most popular all the babies.

163
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 2: Yes, because they love it. They do.

164
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 1: Fans are obsessed with Jasper Fletcher. So I have watched

165
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 1: all of the camera tapes because I had to work

166
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 1: the next day in the newsroom coming in from all

167
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 1: the celebrations of the lines of it's the fan events

168
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 1: that Runswick over in Melbourne and then up at their facility.

169
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 2: Is when I tell you what if you want to

170
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 2: responsor players for sunglasses, you want to do it on

171
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 2: that day. I want to do it on that day.

172
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 1: Coming off, shout out to Camraino who didn't just go

173
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 1: with a straight black ray ban. Yes I noticed these things,

174
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 1: well done sir. But everyone in those fan events, I

175
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 1: think it was like Ashcroft's there signing stuff and they

176
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 1: just go.

177
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 2: Well can you get Jasper or Jazeer.

178
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 1: They love him, love him Jasper jasp A. You just

179
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 1: need to know that, I mean.

180
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 2: You're back in your kid in to play good football

181
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 2: when you give him. But it is that sort of

182
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 2: question of there's no way that the Lions would have

183
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 2: got given how well they were going the likes of

184
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:45,960
Speaker 2: will Ashcroft. H no, and what they give what they

185
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 2: gave up for him was like pick forty or something ridiculous.

186
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 2: So then then they get lever. There is a bit

187
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:52,679
Speaker 2: of a discussion that you shouldn't need to pay market

188
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 2: value rather in the short term of the long term

189
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:58,320
Speaker 2: for these father sons. But let's not let sense get

190
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 2: into this conversation. So well at being unhint, but that

191
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:05,560
Speaker 2: does I would like to say good sport for the

192
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,960
Speaker 2: Lions because do you know what they did exceptionally well

193
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:16,680
Speaker 2: play football but also celebrate and not offend anyone. Oh,

194
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:20,959
Speaker 2: you're so right, because they showed how mad Monday can

195
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 2: be done well. They rocked up in pretty neutral kit

196
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 2: with a bag under their arm of what they were

197
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 2: planning to wear that day, gave very respectful interviews to

198
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 2: the media that were out the front and went, oh,

199
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 2: you know, we went to an op shop, it's going

200
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 2: to be a bit funny to see and then disappeared.

201
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 2: Is it that I some say.

202
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 1: You think it would be quite easy, and because of

203
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 1: the time that it was that easy.

204
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 3: You are so aware of if any season has shown

205
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:56,560
Speaker 3: you that you are in a lens where what you

206
00:09:56,679 --> 00:10:00,560
Speaker 3: do is going to be studied, this is it. If

207
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:04,959
Speaker 3: you are going to do dress ups, especially hypothetically, if

208
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,080
Speaker 3: you're in a rural town where everyone has a fun,

209
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 3: put them all on a bus in neutral outfits and

210
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:13,239
Speaker 3: go to a farm.

211
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 2: And do whatever you want. Can I whatever you want?

212
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 1: Can I bring some context here for potentially people who

213
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 1: don't know. We are talking about the Geelong Football Club

214
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 1: and their decision to wear some questionable attire and costumes

215
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 1: at their Mad Monday celebrations. We will get to that,

216
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 1: but first, Jellmy, what I just need from you is

217
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 1: that Geelong is famous for this, right like they are

218
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:35,560
Speaker 1: the Kings of Mad Monday.

219
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:39,680
Speaker 2: They are brilliant at it. Yes, usually just so. My

220
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 2: favorite has been after they won the flag and everyone

221
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:44,840
Speaker 2: told them it was too old. They all went like

222
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 2: they were in a retirement village.

223
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 1: Great, yes, everyone dressed like there were one hundred and

224
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 1: five and it was chef's kiss. But they are known

225
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:54,679
Speaker 1: for harmless, good fun, going above and beyond. We're talking

226
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:59,319
Speaker 1: shaving heads like really leaning into the costume and the

227
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,320
Speaker 1: dress up right, never been problematic before. All I know

228
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:06,200
Speaker 1: is that when these photos first surfaced on Monday morning,

229
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 1: of course it was mad Monday me. I'm like, class,

230
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 1: it wasn't Monday, it was Monday morning. And I started

231
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 1: screenshotting and sending them to Jelmy because if they disappear.

232
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 1: I was like, I need to get this, I need

233
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:22,320
Speaker 1: to get this. This was a literal running commentary that

234
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 1: was going through my head. Oh, Bailey Smith has posted

235
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 1: a story. Let's see what he's up to. Oh my god,

236
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:30,560
Speaker 1: he's gone as Brad Pitt from Legends of the Fall.

237
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 1: If I know anything about Jelmy, I know she loves

238
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 1: Brad Pitt and especially Legends of the Fall Brad Pitt.

239
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 1: I will send this immediately to Jelmy. Let's click through

240
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 1: to the next photo. Hold on a second. Is that

241
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 1: Max Holmes dressed up.

242
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 2: As a woman? Why?

243
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 1: Okay, Oh it's caro interesting. Okay, don't quite know how

244
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 1: to process that, but I'm going to click to the

245
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 1: next photo.

246
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 2: Hold on a second.

247
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:57,319
Speaker 1: Now I've got Bailey Smith and I've also got Patrick Dangerfield.

248
00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 1: Why is Patrick Dangerfield standing behind Bailey Smith?

249
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 2: They're looking quite familiar. What is this?

250
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 1: Oh? Yes, it really is giving Jack Twist and Ennis

251
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:07,960
Speaker 1: from Brokeback Mountain. Oh I love that movie, saw it

252
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 1: twice in the cinemas. Oh maybe they're just giving a

253
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:11,080
Speaker 1: nice little ode.

254
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:11,679
Speaker 2: Oh hang on, what.

255
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 1: Does the caption say? This is what losing a Grand

256
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:14,599
Speaker 1: final does to you?

257
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 2: Hang on a second. That's not sounding very good.

258
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 1: Screenshot immediately sent to Jelmy and ask what the actual fuck?

259
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 2: Can we not have nice things? Have so many layers

260
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 2: to that. I will say that supposedly Max Holmes had

261
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:33,439
Speaker 2: contacted Carrow and asked if it was okay that one address.

262
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:36,199
Speaker 1: Has also dressed as prominent AFL figures.

263
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:39,439
Speaker 2: And who we loved and all the point. Mitch is

264
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 2: obsessed with Max Holmes, so I think he just loved

265
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 2: it so that one was over. What wasn't necessarily great?

266
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:49,199
Speaker 2: Is Bailey posting saying this is the best that Carow

267
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:52,840
Speaker 2: has ever looked. Oh yes, yes, Bailey's he's launching grenades.

268
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 2: And Mitch Brown has rightly so come out and responded

269
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 2: to this being like last time I check, losing an

270
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 2: AFL Grand Final doesn't make you gay. I do think

271
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 2: that being homophobic makes you a loser though, Yeah, bang yeah,

272
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 2: say it again. And I understand and we understand that

273
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 2: the world looks at this, and especially a footy club.

274
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 2: World looks at this ru a lens of you can't

275
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:23,320
Speaker 2: say anything anymore, you can't do anything. What they're dressing up.

276
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 2: It's harmless fun. Let them go if you're ostracizing and

277
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 2: upsetting a large percentage of the population, but also a

278
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 2: large community that have involved in AFL now Allah, the

279
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 2: AFLW and the community. But also just if people are

280
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 2: telling you something's offensive, they're not the problem. You are.

281
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 2: And no matter what you do in today's society, you

282
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 2: are going to upset a small minority. But if you

283
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 2: are punching down for humor and in this they didn't

284
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 2: wake up and become public figures that day.

285
00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 1: No, they've got experience. Yeah, yeah, just the mind boggles.

286
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:04,959
Speaker 1: And also tell me we were almost to the day

287
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:08,200
Speaker 1: a year ago sitting here talking about the GWS Mad

288
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 1: Monday scandal, right, which was a whole love thing. And

289
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 1: just to think that once again we can't have another

290
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 1: season without just just something going wrong, like just be better?

291
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 1: How many times do we have to say it? Use

292
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 1: a brain cell and be batter.

293
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 2: And the thing is, we I understand as much as

294
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 2: when I get invited to a dress up party and

295
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 2: you go and everyone's dressed up, it's fun. Their lives

296
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 2: are really heavy being an AFL. Yes, they're numerated well,

297
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 2: but it's stressful. You are critiqued left, fright, and center.

298
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 2: There is a lot of pressure that comes with it.

299
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 2: Mad Monday is an opportunity to relieve that spress and

300
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 2: look back on the year that was. The clubs that

301
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 2: do it well. Put them all on a bus in

302
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 2: neutral clothing, get them far away out of the city

303
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,760
Speaker 2: as possible, ideally not swan street play its passed out

304
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 2: as we've seen in previous years from other clubs, and

305
00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 2: just let them have the time of their life. But

306
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 2: do it in a way where they're not going to

307
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 2: be watched by everyone.

308
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 1: I know, and take their phones off them.

309
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 2: But even the idea that as an adult, it's like, whoops,

310
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 2: they're going to take my phone off me now?

311
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, embarrassing. Honestly, it's just so embarrassing.

312
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 2: And the Cat as a result of this, the Cats

313
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 2: have said we're pulling Mad Monday. Oh.

314
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 1: This is the official statement coming from the Geelong Cats,

315
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 1: Geelong Football Clubs and Stilly apologizes for the offense caused

316
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 1: following our end of season gathering on Monday.

317
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 2: It's called Mad Monday.

318
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 1: So certain costumes and associated social media posts were inappropriate

319
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 1: and a significant error of judgment and do not reflect

320
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 1: our team of all commitment. The club has decided future

321
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:42,680
Speaker 1: post season events will not continue in this current form

322
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 1: and we will take this moment to further educate our

323
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 1: people on expectations and club and community standards.

324
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 2: Oh Geelong, what of what? End of the year? There

325
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 2: was a wonderful article written by Kyle Pollard of the

326
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 2: ABC where essentially says Geelong is known for its accessibility

327
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 2: on Mad Monday, but Bailey Smith's post have unraveled years

328
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 2: of goodwill, is what the headline is, and it goes

329
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 2: on to explain and goes through the different eras of

330
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:10,400
Speaker 2: how it's been done well, different costumes that have been fantastic,

331
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 2: But it does feel like one person that couldn't play

332
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 2: the game right has literally ruined everyone's fun.

333
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 1: I'm going to make a random prediction about Bailey Smith

334
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 1: for next season, which it doesn't actually have anything to

335
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 1: do with this. It's stunning, No one in my unhingedness

336
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:31,440
Speaker 1: right now, I think after what we saw in the

337
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 1: Grand Final, the performance, him getting slink tackled at the

338
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 1: end and losing the headband, I think the headband.

339
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 2: Might be done. I think the head band's gone. I

340
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 2: think the headband's gone. I think the hair is gone.

341
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 1: I think he comes out in twenty twenty six with

342
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:46,880
Speaker 1: a buzz cut. Not a buzz cut. No, he'll still

343
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 1: look he needs to still look pretty, so he'll have.

344
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 2: If we're gone the Brad Pitt, he could come out

345
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 2: mister missus Smith.

346
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 1: Oh no, I'm thinking Mighty Joe Young. No, no, no, no,

347
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 1: black sorry black, Mighty Joe Young is the Gorilla movie.

348
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 2: Because I haven't seen that, but I knew where you

349
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 2: what's Mighty Joe Young? I show you. I don't know

350
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 2: is Brad Pitt in it?

351
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:15,400
Speaker 3: No?

352
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:19,639
Speaker 2: Okay no, and said that.

353
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:23,199
Speaker 1: Before I said that, I was like, I was like, now,

354
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 1: you always get confused between.

355
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:35,359
Speaker 2: And No. I don't now, but this bat hair. I

356
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:42,199
Speaker 2: I do think. Geelong are usually known for being very palatable,

357
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:46,679
Speaker 2: very straight, one eighty almost the poster Boys, the Golden

358
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:49,239
Speaker 2: Retrievers of the a F l If you will, And

359
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 2: I think that this image, this needing to flip the

360
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 2: bird in every photo, saying and doing the wrong thing

361
00:17:56,640 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 2: on social media is really different then, Like when you

362
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 2: think of Geelong, you think of like Joel Sellwood, like

363
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 2: Tom Hawkins, people that you think would shake your hand

364
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 2: and have a chat in public. Right. I think there's

365
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 2: going to be a real introspection for that club over

366
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:15,159
Speaker 2: the off season about how they're going to deal with

367
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 2: this going forward, because they must be tired and we

368
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:24,920
Speaker 2: are talking about it, right I do I feel sad

369
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:27,480
Speaker 2: we've lost the Bounce and we've lost Mad Monday. What's left?

370
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 1: Can I just say, what are your actual thoughts? We

371
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:32,159
Speaker 1: will get to the main discussion soon deal with no promise,

372
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:35,159
Speaker 1: but what will we don't know? What are your thoughts

373
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:37,399
Speaker 1: on the Bounce? So, as someone who came to Ossie

374
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 1: Rules late, I love the bounce because I love the

375
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 1: way that it's such a performative art piece for the umpire,

376
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 1: Like it's so hard to do.

377
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:47,879
Speaker 2: That there and they go who there are many layers

378
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 2: to it. Okay, it's very hard to get afl umpires. Yes,

379
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 2: it's a very difficult skill and you need to get

380
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 2: a certain percentage of them, right, in order to umpire.

381
00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 2: So firstly, it's accessibility for us because some people are

382
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:05,960
Speaker 2: great adjudicators of the game, they just can't bounce very well. Yeah, fair, Okay.

383
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 2: And then it also came down to safety because as

384
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:12,040
Speaker 2: we saw that, they brought in rules about players not

385
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 2: being able to make contact for the umpires with the

386
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:17,080
Speaker 2: incidental or otherwise because you've got your head down. Yeah,

387
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 2: and you've got and you're trying to run back out

388
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 2: two of the tallest humans as opposed to and being

389
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 2: able to run back. There's two different outcomes there. Ok.

390
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 2: Can you imagine you get to AFL Grand Final Day,

391
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 2: there's a big the roar of the crowd, everyone's excited,

392
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 2: and you've got the Sharon and all you're thinking is

393
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:36,520
Speaker 2: Mother of God, goes straight, go straight, go straight, go straight.

394
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:40,360
Speaker 2: Like it's no one ever remembers a good bounce. No true,

395
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:43,680
Speaker 2: everyone remembers when it's woeful, very true, very very try.

396
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 2: It does sounding like this is a good call, then

397
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:49,160
Speaker 2: I it does make me a little bit sad because

398
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 2: I do think when you have, like for instance, we

399
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 2: have the New Orleans Pelicans in town, and when you

400
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:56,760
Speaker 2: have people from all around the world come in and

401
00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:58,879
Speaker 2: look at our game and the first thing they see

402
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:03,119
Speaker 2: is an unhinged yeah, followed by umpires running backwards in

403
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:05,680
Speaker 2: Flora yellow and throwing it back in over their heads.

404
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:08,560
Speaker 2: They go, what is this game?

405
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:11,119
Speaker 1: And you're like, valid points, valid, But I don't know

406
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 1: what does it mean then for the common vernacular, because

407
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 1: if we're like, oh yeah, bet boucet.

408
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:18,640
Speaker 2: Timers this time, first bounce.

409
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 1: First ball, first ball, ball ups at, I guess we've

410
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:23,400
Speaker 1: solved that that's not too hard.

411
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:25,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it doesn't sound. It doesn't have the same

412
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:29,440
Speaker 2: reason show is called the bounce, I know, ball up. Unfortunately,

413
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:34,240
Speaker 2: they should have gone for sports. It's a lot less dry.

414
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 2: You can't get rid of us, at least to sports somewhere. No,

415
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:47,680
Speaker 2: but I do. We don't want to be the fun police.

416
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 2: We don't want to be the people that take things

417
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:51,960
Speaker 2: too far. When it comes to Mad Monday, I feel

418
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:54,159
Speaker 2: sad that it's gone, but I also think, like, this

419
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:55,640
Speaker 2: is why we can't have nice things.

420
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:57,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, one hundred percent, this is why we can't have

421
00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 1: nice things. And guys, just remember we are the pride

422
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:06,119
Speaker 1: of Chris. Be sad we ever rude, Blue we go.

423
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 1: I have heard that song so many times, and you

424
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:09,440
Speaker 1: know what, it actually just gets better.

425
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:11,640
Speaker 2: Guys? Is it just better? Is it just you singing it?

426
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:14,639
Speaker 2: It is? It is? It is just me in quiet rooms.

427
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:19,639
Speaker 2: All right, speak, We're gonna move, We're gonna hop codes.

428
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:23,399
Speaker 2: Because I also would like to nominate another topic for

429
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 2: us discussed today. Oh but I'm gonna go with bad

430
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 2: sport sport. The Dallim medal.

431
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:33,160
Speaker 1: Oh yes, okay, yes, here we go.

432
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 2: James sid Esco wins. Yeah, stunning no one like he

433
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:38,760
Speaker 2: won at a canter Also because he was able to

434
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:41,240
Speaker 2: be fit on the park and didn't play origin, so

435
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:42,680
Speaker 2: it's really helpful that you get the extra.

436
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:44,200
Speaker 1: I can't still can't make it into the Astralian squad,

437
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 1: but whatever, whatever, whatever.

438
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:51,119
Speaker 2: Best play of it ish. The way that the Daly

439
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:54,000
Speaker 2: m has both the men's and the women's competition in

440
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 2: the one night, I think it's sensational. Yes, cele League

441
00:21:57,359 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 2: do that so well, so good.

442
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:02,399
Speaker 1: The integration of the women's game in to the wider

443
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:05,280
Speaker 1: NL community is amazing because so often that you will

444
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 1: have fans that are just as excited about the NRL

445
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 1: Men's Grand Final on Sunday as the women's Grand Final,

446
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:13,720
Speaker 1: which will be taking place a couple of hours earlier

447
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:15,680
Speaker 1: between the Broncos Roosters. Like, I've had so many people

448
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:16,960
Speaker 1: be like, well, we have to get there for the girls,

449
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 1: so making plans and everything is integrated.

450
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 2: Yes, two juggles. The roosters have been massive. They literally

451
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,320
Speaker 2: haven't lost a game this year. But the Broncos have

452
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 2: arguably the best players in the league, which is where

453
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:30,240
Speaker 2: my point comes in. At the DALM, they have all

454
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:33,439
Speaker 2: the players up on stage when they announce who wins

455
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:36,880
Speaker 2: the major award, and for the men's it was obviously

456
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:38,359
Speaker 2: so obvious that it was going to be teddy that

457
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:41,160
Speaker 2: it really wasn't a thing. Yes, I'm reading a news

458
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:46,200
Speaker 2: dot com dot Au article here. Broncostar Julia Robinson had

459
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:48,600
Speaker 2: to fight back tears on Wednesday night as she was

460
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 2: robbed of the ultimate individual honor, a Dahalim Medal. Robinson

461
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:55,240
Speaker 2: was heavily favored to take out the NLWDALM, but a

462
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:57,640
Speaker 2: coach's decision to rest her in the second last round

463
00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:00,239
Speaker 2: of the season proved to be the difference in the end.

464
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:03,920
Speaker 2: Her teammate, Brisbane fullback Tamika Upton, who's a star absolutely

465
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:07,120
Speaker 2: stir took out the nrolw WM by just three points.

466
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:11,159
Speaker 2: I don't think the coach resting her is what I

467
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:13,800
Speaker 2: want to discuss here. I want to discuss that poor

468
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:17,560
Speaker 2: Julia is up there on the stage yeah okay, yep

469
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:22,240
Speaker 2: with Tamika, shoulder to shoulder with her, watching her step

470
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:25,639
Speaker 2: forward and receive her dream and having to process that

471
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 2: up while everyone is looking at you. Yes, and I

472
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:31,399
Speaker 2: just think, you know what, the AFL doesn't do that

473
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 2: to Nick Dacos, he gets to say sitting down the

474
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:35,800
Speaker 2: process it.

475
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 1: They did because Richard Goyda said Nick bought an incredible

476
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:40,440
Speaker 1: season around him.

477
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:43,119
Speaker 3: But can you imagine being up there and everyone's and

478
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:46,760
Speaker 3: you're literally the favorite, everyone's expecting you to win it. Yes,

479
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:49,080
Speaker 3: you're there and that energy, and then you have to

480
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 3: watch someone physically step forward in front of you and

481
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 3: receive it.

482
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:54,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm okay with it. I'm okay with it, but

483
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:56,680
Speaker 1: I'm okay with it. Like I feel for her, Don't

484
00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:58,760
Speaker 1: get me wrong, I feel her. She is an absolute gun,

485
00:23:58,960 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 1: so is to meet.

486
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 2: Broncos, which is something to be highlighted.

487
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:05,960
Speaker 1: Tamika is a one in a generation player though, like.

488
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:10,840
Speaker 2: She is, I'm all a freaky to Miki y freaky

489
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:18,440
Speaker 2: Miky sounds like a dip freaky, meeky, freaky Meki.

490
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:22,879
Speaker 1: And yeah, she is insane. She played with the night

491
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 1: she was incredible. She moved to the Broncos incredible, Like

492
00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:29,119
Speaker 1: she is deserving of this award, though her teammate is

493
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 1: ultimately was her biggest competition.

494
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:35,440
Speaker 2: I'm fine with it. It's you know, that's that's sport.

495
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:38,720
Speaker 2: That would have me let her cry in a corner

496
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 2: on her own. No, she can do that after. I

497
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 2: love it. Bit of drama, bit of drama.

498
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:46,640
Speaker 1: They obviously love each other, their teammates. They'll figure it out.

499
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:48,200
Speaker 1: If you get, you lose it.

500
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:50,320
Speaker 2: Of course it's gonna be said. You know, let's just

501
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 2: let's let's bring that Honestea, that's okay. If you google Delian,

502
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:56,399
Speaker 2: the first article that comes up isn't about the winner.

503
00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:57,919
Speaker 2: It's about her fighting back tears.

504
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:01,199
Speaker 1: Yes, but that in that that's the that's the media's

505
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:04,560
Speaker 1: choice then not to like keep myself with a stick,

506
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:05,480
Speaker 1: my own self with a stick.

507
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:11,040
Speaker 2: But that's that's the choice. That's what I'm talking. God, damn,

508
00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 2: it got me again.

509
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 1: No, but but but but and that's where you know

510
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:19,280
Speaker 1: those kind of masked heads Ideally what you would see

511
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 1: is Daly and winner Men's game, Daly and winner Women's game.

512
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:24,439
Speaker 1: But I know for a fact that it would be

513
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:26,920
Speaker 1: But I know that it would be Daly and Winners,

514
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:29,399
Speaker 1: and it would be three quarters about James Tedesco. And

515
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:32,080
Speaker 1: there's one quarter there about to meet Upton.

516
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:33,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, And.

517
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:34,800
Speaker 1: So we're still we're still We've still got a long

518
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:36,280
Speaker 1: way to go. We've still got a long way to go.

519
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:38,640
Speaker 1: But I'm I'm okay, I'm okay with it. I'm okay

520
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 1: with it. A bit of drama, a bit of drama.

521
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:43,119
Speaker 1: If she starts, you know, throwing a clutch at her,

522
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:46,760
Speaker 1: maybe that's not not good. That's you know, maybe we

523
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:47,680
Speaker 1: rethink things.

524
00:25:50,920 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 2: As clutch as a weapon. Blogs could never.

525
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:13,879
Speaker 1: Do not skip ahead, dear listeners, It's my favorite type

526
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:14,879
Speaker 1: of ASMR.

527
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:18,400
Speaker 2: What do I have in my hand? Have we gone

528
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:22,960
Speaker 2: FM radio? Is this the secret sound? No one's gonna

529
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:25,120
Speaker 2: get it, I can promise you. So I'll just tell you.

530
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 1: I'll just tell you guys that I'm actually currently now

531
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:33,000
Speaker 1: looking for smoke alarms in the studio because I have

532
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:36,399
Speaker 1: come in today with an absolute treasure trove of merch.

533
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:38,840
Speaker 1: I've made jell me wear a Broncos beanie. I'm wearing

534
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:42,879
Speaker 1: all of the Broncos paraphernalia. But guys, my memory is

535
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 1: really good. It's not that short. The last time the

536
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 1: Brisbane Broncos were in a Grand Final, I too wore

537
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:50,640
Speaker 1: all of the merch and you know what happened.

538
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:51,680
Speaker 2: We lost.

539
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:55,920
Speaker 1: So I've learned from my mistakes and instead, what I'm

540
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:59,080
Speaker 1: proposing is the shirt that I wore that says twenty

541
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 1: twenty three Grand Final, that I was wearing when we

542
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:06,520
Speaker 1: lost the twenty twenty three Grand Final, that I went

543
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:11,560
Speaker 1: on national television in the twenty twenty three Grand Final,

544
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:16,760
Speaker 1: that I may need to ceremonially burn her just to

545
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:20,359
Speaker 1: recover from that and move on into our new era,

546
00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 1: which is the twenty twenty five Grand Final.

547
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 2: Where we are going to win. We're going to win,

548
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:33,920
Speaker 2: We're going to beat the storm. Guys, you're welcome. You're

549
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 2: not going to actually set far at the studio. Just

550
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:37,960
Speaker 2: to clarify, because I feel like this at.

551
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:41,600
Speaker 1: Producer Aaron's looking at me weirdly, but might can't see

552
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:42,160
Speaker 1: a smoker.

553
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 2: We don't have a fast point. I am genuinely concerned

554
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:51,880
Speaker 2: for your workmare because you have the matches. It's firstly

555
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:55,600
Speaker 2: the weapon, it's the fast. Everything you've brought in is

556
00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:58,520
Speaker 2: synthetic and flammable, and you're throwing around some redheads like

557
00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:05,119
Speaker 2: that's normal. I just I watched. I've never screamed at

558
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:09,080
Speaker 2: the TV quite like I did for the prelim. Oh,

559
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:13,440
Speaker 2: because I knew how much it meant to you. That's right,

560
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:17,399
Speaker 2: and to what Adam Reynolds go back and slaught it.

561
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:20,359
Speaker 2: When everyone was expecting Reese Walsh to take it, I can't.

562
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:22,919
Speaker 2: And you had no right. The Panthers looked like they

563
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:23,520
Speaker 2: were panthering.

564
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:28,439
Speaker 1: We had absolutely no right, No ladies and gentlemen. So

565
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:32,080
Speaker 1: on this podcast just a mere weeks ago, I said,

566
00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:34,200
Speaker 1: I witnessed the greatest game of all between the Broncos

567
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:36,040
Speaker 1: and Canberra to get us through to the prelim, and

568
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:38,160
Speaker 1: that remains the greatest game we've ever seen. It was

569
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:45,760
Speaker 1: what we did, though against Penrith, arguably more impressive, more impressive.

570
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 2: And the context of a prelim try line defense.

571
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:50,200
Speaker 1: I didn't think we had it in us in that

572
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 1: second half to hold the Panthers out. I was like,

573
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 1: absolutely not. I'm taking bets of two to one. We're

574
00:28:55,680 --> 00:29:00,360
Speaker 1: not doing it like it. I was so stunned how

575
00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:04,120
Speaker 1: much we rallied, and we rallied without having Patrick Carrigan there,

576
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 1: who is our co captain.

577
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:09,120
Speaker 2: But also and he's back for the finals. He's back

578
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 2: for the final.

579
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 1: He was out due to suspension, but he's the one

580
00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:14,080
Speaker 1: that rallies the forwards in the first half against the Panthers.

581
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:18,160
Speaker 2: In the prelim our forwards, where were they? Where are you?

582
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:20,520
Speaker 2: That we didn't know what we were doing? Our halves

583
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:24,920
Speaker 2: were terrible. I was like Georgia message Maguire, handing your resignation,

584
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 2: What is the plan? We don't even have a put.

585
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 1: No pa no pah, we only have one per and

586
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:35,160
Speaker 1: it's paying haas he was the only one doing anything.

587
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:37,760
Speaker 1: And I was like, oh my god. And the Panthers

588
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:41,040
Speaker 1: rightfully so belted at us. They put on fourteen points

589
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 1: fourteen nil at halftime. But there was still a spark

590
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:47,239
Speaker 1: within me that thought, we cannot play worse than this.

591
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:50,479
Speaker 1: And the Panthers are only fourteen points ahead.

592
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:53,800
Speaker 2: That's not telling me. There's a chair telling me there's

593
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:54,280
Speaker 2: a chance.

594
00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:56,960
Speaker 1: And it really did just it was set up as

595
00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 1: a fairy tale for anyone who's seen the twenty twenty

596
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:03,400
Speaker 1: three Grand five or the Broncos were in an unlosable

597
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:05,520
Speaker 1: position and somehow lost the game.

598
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:10,520
Speaker 2: It was the greatest comeback in NRL history in a final.

599
00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:13,680
Speaker 2: And that's not using that term flippidly, that's facts. Yes,

600
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:15,680
Speaker 2: So no team has ever been up by that much

601
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:18,600
Speaker 2: in a Grand Final and lost. So you weathered that, Oh,

602
00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:19,520
Speaker 2: we weathered that.

603
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:22,640
Speaker 1: And just adding layers to this, what makes that one

604
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:25,320
Speaker 1: of my favorite stats ever is because we were able

605
00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 1: to out panther the Panthers, and now I think we

606
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:34,720
Speaker 1: are on our way to potentially winning the whole thing.

607
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:37,200
Speaker 1: This is what makes it particularly so I'm just going

608
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:40,600
Speaker 1: to let this is what makes it particularly incredible what

609
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:42,640
Speaker 1: we were able to do, and I'm going to let

610
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:46,280
Speaker 1: love of my life, sorry, Robert Darren Lockyer explain.

611
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:50,040
Speaker 2: To share with me earlier in the week.

612
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 1: Gives you an indication of how much the Broncos had

613
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:53,920
Speaker 1: to dig deep for this.

614
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:57,920
Speaker 2: Since twenty twenty, when the Panthers have been twelve or

615
00:30:57,920 --> 00:30:59,080
Speaker 2: more points in front in a.

616
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:00,600
Speaker 1: Game then and.

617
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:06,320
Speaker 2: I have almost one hundred percent. Yeah they are yeah.

618
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:12,320
Speaker 1: Yep, thank you maths from twenty twenty every single game

619
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:15,000
Speaker 1: beyond that, the Penrith Panthers. When they have a lead

620
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:18,120
Speaker 1: of twelve points or more, they have won ninety eight

621
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:24,960
Speaker 1: and oh ninety eight out of ninety eight. So this

622
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:27,720
Speaker 1: is the time, this is what we were up against,

623
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:30,840
Speaker 1: and somehow, somehow we did it.

624
00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:34,560
Speaker 2: We did it. I mean, Darren, that's an unbelievable state.

625
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:37,920
Speaker 2: It's also an unbelievable voice. I didn't think we'd have

626
00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 2: a deeper voice on two Good Sports this season, but

627
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:42,400
Speaker 2: you pulled it out, like I know that he's your

628
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:44,320
Speaker 2: favorite person, but also when you're like the love of

629
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:46,480
Speaker 2: my life. Pause, sorry, Robert, do you know how many

630
00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:49,400
Speaker 2: people go through my mind who you could be about

631
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:52,400
Speaker 2: to talk about any given week? I was like, all right,

632
00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:54,560
Speaker 2: let's re said this week, let's have a listen. Oh,

633
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 2: no worries, let's just see. I sit here adorned in

634
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 2: cos merch, mostly because I really appreciate our friendship, but

635
00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:06,200
Speaker 2: I'd like to keep it that way. Yep. The Storm

636
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:10,520
Speaker 2: are in their eleventh Grand Final under Craig Bellamy in

637
00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 2: his twenty three seasons. Yep. Yeah, unbelievable. Yeah, that's pretty good.

638
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:19,040
Speaker 1: That's pretty I mean, mats off the top of my head,

639
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:22,440
Speaker 1: it's almost a fifty percent. Yeah, just sounds great to

640
00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:25,080
Speaker 1: just it's like every year and one in two, I'm

641
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 1: gonna take.

642
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:27,320
Speaker 2: You to the ground. We're getting to the finals. We're

643
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:31,040
Speaker 2: talking to the Grand Final. Yeah, yeah, So they believe

644
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:34,520
Speaker 2: they have been here before and they're looking at it going, oh,

645
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:38,040
Speaker 2: thank god, it's not the Panthers. And I think on

646
00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:41,959
Speaker 2: behalf of the NRL everyone goes, oh, thank god. So

647
00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:45,560
Speaker 2: whatever happens, it's not the Panthers.

648
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:47,760
Speaker 1: So when Adam Reynolds was lighting up for the winning

649
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:49,600
Speaker 1: conversion in the prelim.

650
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:52,960
Speaker 2: The entire NRL community except for Penrith.

651
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:55,280
Speaker 1: Except for Penrith fans, I think I spoke for all

652
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:57,960
Speaker 1: of them. I was on my knees in the newsroom

653
00:32:58,040 --> 00:32:58,880
Speaker 1: and I said.

654
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:06,200
Speaker 2: Do it for them, Al and he did, and he

655
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:09,280
Speaker 2: dan Well did, he dann Well did? So where are

656
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:11,160
Speaker 2: we just going to gloss over the fact that Jerome

657
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:13,160
Speaker 2: Hughes is back and looks like he's in great form,

658
00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:17,160
Speaker 2: that the Stormer really primed. And they also had an

659
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:20,000
Speaker 2: additional two days to recover heading into this Grand Final,

660
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 2: which is one of the more bizarre scheduling choices. The

661
00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:25,000
Speaker 2: NFL has had a lot of criticism by the fact

662
00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:27,080
Speaker 2: they played their prelims, one on the Friday, one on

663
00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:30,520
Speaker 2: the Sunday, so no matter what the outcome, which everyone

664
00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:32,680
Speaker 2: knew Storm was going to win their way through, they

665
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:36,040
Speaker 2: had two extra days to recover heading into a Grand Final,

666
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:37,560
Speaker 2: which is significant.

667
00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:40,920
Speaker 1: I think for my mental health, it's best if we

668
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:46,760
Speaker 1: gloss over all of those things. Ah No, Look, I

669
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:49,680
Speaker 1: was also at the Storm prelimb, so I saw them

670
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:52,880
Speaker 1: defeat Crinulla and it was a really fast game.

671
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:54,160
Speaker 2: It was a really fun game.

672
00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:57,959
Speaker 1: There were so many mistakes to the point that I

673
00:33:58,000 --> 00:33:59,960
Speaker 1: turned to Robert when we're in the stands and I said,

674
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:02,600
Speaker 1: whoever wins on Sunday could be either of these teams.

675
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:06,280
Speaker 1: Right then we played that badly in the first half

676
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:08,400
Speaker 1: against the Panthers, and I thought, oh no.

677
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:10,960
Speaker 2: The Storm can beat either of these teams.

678
00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:14,839
Speaker 1: The thing with the Melbourne Storm is they're just so

679
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:18,200
Speaker 1: impressive and they can smother you and suffocate you from

680
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:19,640
Speaker 1: any position.

681
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:22,120
Speaker 2: And it's also been played in neutral ground. Right You've

682
00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:24,120
Speaker 2: got a Brisbane team and a Melbourne team playing in

683
00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:28,880
Speaker 2: Sydney again in one of the nuances that is leak. Yeah. Yeah.

684
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:31,319
Speaker 1: Can I just say though, it felt like it was

685
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:34,840
Speaker 1: a home game to try and get bloody tickets.

686
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:37,840
Speaker 2: To I was back in eras to a hell.

687
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:40,640
Speaker 1: I still don't know anyone who's managed to get a

688
00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:42,600
Speaker 1: ticket in the public sale.

689
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:45,120
Speaker 2: I was like, what is this? It's a hoax?

690
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:47,560
Speaker 1: How can there be this many people in front of

691
00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:48,920
Speaker 1: me in the queue? And then I don't even get

692
00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:49,440
Speaker 1: in the queue.

693
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:51,440
Speaker 2: What are you talking about? Do you want to declare

694
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:53,400
Speaker 2: how much you're not the average man by how you

695
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:55,240
Speaker 2: got tickets? So you're gonna let it go? Okay?

696
00:34:55,320 --> 00:35:00,480
Speaker 1: So so, dear listeners, my dear friend Brendan Pavola, who

697
00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:03,120
Speaker 1: also adores the Melbourne Storm, he can't be there because

698
00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:06,080
Speaker 1: he's working with the AFLW team Richmond, who are adores

699
00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:08,040
Speaker 1: Champion of the people. Yeah, champion of the people. And

700
00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:09,920
Speaker 1: he said he sent me a message when I was

701
00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:12,799
Speaker 1: in the throes of hell, in that line fighting for

702
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:16,440
Speaker 1: my life, and he goes, have you got a ticket

703
00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:19,319
Speaker 1: yet to see your Bronx lose number one? I was like,

704
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:22,640
Speaker 1: that's not necessarily hurtful, Okay, no worries. And I was like, Brendan,

705
00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:26,680
Speaker 1: I don't have time. That's when I messaged and then

706
00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:28,719
Speaker 1: he said, bro I've got you tickets and I was

707
00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:30,359
Speaker 1: like I do have time.

708
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:32,440
Speaker 2: I have all of the time. I have all of

709
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:37,680
Speaker 2: the time Breton, So unfortunately if it's herd but here

710
00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:38,000
Speaker 2: we are.

711
00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:40,319
Speaker 1: Huge shout out to Fev because it's just the type

712
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:42,279
Speaker 1: of man he is. He knew that I would absolutely die.

713
00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:45,400
Speaker 1: So we will be there on Grand Final evening to

714
00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:49,840
Speaker 1: see hopefully the Broncos when it has been a really

715
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:52,440
Speaker 1: long time since two thousand and six, Yes, which can

716
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:55,880
Speaker 1: I just say is a fun fact. For Christmas in

717
00:35:55,920 --> 00:36:00,720
Speaker 1: two thousand and six, I was gifted a DVD now children,

718
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:06,440
Speaker 1: that is like what we call YouTube today, but it

719
00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:08,200
Speaker 1: lived on a disc and you had to put it

720
00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:11,080
Speaker 1: in a machine anyway. Sidebar, I was gifted a DVD

721
00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:15,120
Speaker 1: which was the NRL Grand Final because the Broncos, Melbourne

722
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:17,560
Speaker 1: Broncos won and it was Darren Lockey at one of

723
00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:21,120
Speaker 1: his ultimately last games and it was just incredible.

724
00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:24,000
Speaker 2: When I met Georgie in twenty fifteen, Darren Lockier was

725
00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:28,239
Speaker 2: still her screensaver love no word of a lie, Love

726
00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:29,680
Speaker 2: the man, and he's joined us on this podcast.

727
00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:35,040
Speaker 1: I mean what technically tell me Look if if.

728
00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:38,400
Speaker 2: If you were you there, tell me where we were

729
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:39,200
Speaker 2: two thousand and six.

730
00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:42,080
Speaker 1: No, I was in my I was in my family

731
00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:45,400
Speaker 1: lound room watching it with my dad. Oh yeah, like

732
00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:47,840
Speaker 1: we watched Origin this year, like it's that was that

733
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:50,239
Speaker 1: was where we were were so excited, very funny. It

734
00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:52,560
Speaker 1: was very much like I did not think that we

735
00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:55,319
Speaker 1: were going to win, like even when it was like

736
00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:57,359
Speaker 1: seconds to go and I was like, we can learn

737
00:36:57,400 --> 00:36:59,040
Speaker 1: that from here, which.

738
00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:01,080
Speaker 2: Was me and the prelim again, my friend was like,

739
00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:02,759
Speaker 2: you've got it, and I was like, don't you did?

740
00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:04,840
Speaker 2: Dodge shut your mouth, shut.

741
00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:10,200
Speaker 1: It if the Broncos win, to get some analysis into this, like.

742
00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:13,160
Speaker 2: Are we talking tattoos? Are you gonna what? Oh? No,

743
00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:18,759
Speaker 2: well I haven't considered that yet. No, I mean potentially potentially.

744
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:21,040
Speaker 2: I don't know, but I'll be crying, yeah, I know.

745
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:23,840
Speaker 1: I'll definitely be crying because in my mind it was

746
00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:26,280
Speaker 1: easy to win a Grand Final because I started following

747
00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:29,880
Speaker 1: rugby league in the year nineteen ninety nine, but technically

748
00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:33,200
Speaker 1: two thousand. The Broncos won in two thousand and we

749
00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:35,799
Speaker 1: have not won since two thousand and six, which in

750
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:36,600
Speaker 1: my mind.

751
00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:39,560
Speaker 2: Was yesterday, but it wasn't. No, it really wasn't.

752
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:42,839
Speaker 1: And this will be our potential third Grand Final lost

753
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:44,480
Speaker 1: in a row and I can't have that. And I

754
00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:47,799
Speaker 1: know that Melbourne Storm lost the Grand Final last year

755
00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:50,200
Speaker 1: and they will be doing everything so they don't become

756
00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:55,759
Speaker 1: back to back losers. But all I'm asking for Harry Grant,

757
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 1: Friend of the show, maybe just don't have your best game,

758

00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:05,319
Speaker 2: Like do you do you want to? Georgie message Harry Grant,

760
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:06,879
Speaker 2: friend of the Show, been on earlier in this season,

761
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:08,640
Speaker 2: been like, hey, mate, would love to have you on

762
00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:10,880
Speaker 2: this week And Harry, being the great sport that he

763
00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:15,280
Speaker 2: has said, would love to, can't travel commitments Unfortunately. Georgie

764
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:18,120
Speaker 2: replied and said no worries, no luck for this weekend

765
00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:22,560
Speaker 2: with a Broncos sign. Legit, Yeah, legit, I said, I'm

766
00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:25,520
Speaker 2: no longer friend of the show. You sent a wwesome

767
00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:30,719
Speaker 2: ooji to a lightning we don't consent. I now I'm like,

768
00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:33,400
Speaker 2: I need to send you a WhatsApp with some lightning

769
00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:36,240
Speaker 2: bolts to cancel out the bad pr that you paused

770
00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:39,720
Speaker 2: for These relationships are important, George.

771
00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:42,400
Speaker 1: In all seriousness, the only way that the Broncos can

772
00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:43,799
Speaker 1: win is if they shut down that man.

773
00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:48,120
Speaker 2: No, he is unbelievable. Him in the prelimb Granger.

774
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:51,560
Speaker 1: Oh good from you guys. We go back and listen

775
00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:55,520
Speaker 1: to our episode with Harry Grant. He's grandful. He was

776
00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:58,440
Speaker 1: the difference in the prelim. He was the one that

777
00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:00,680
Speaker 1: you just knew when he had the ball was great.

778
00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:03,120
Speaker 1: But it's like it was it was Grant Grant game

779
00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:04,080
Speaker 1: and he.

780
00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:09,240
Speaker 2: Takes cherry but the actual ice cream itself. Yeah, oh Harry.

781
00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:12,080
Speaker 1: And now I was looking at Jerome Hughes's arm, which

782
00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:15,400
Speaker 1: has more strapping on it than an actual horse, Like

783
00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:19,839
Speaker 1: it's was just the biggest oh for arm guard you've

784
00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:20,359
Speaker 1: ever seen.

785
00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:23,200
Speaker 2: Because his arm is broken. There's no way that it

786
00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:27,000
Speaker 2: is not that he's doing Jeremy Cameron, but it's still broken. Yeah,

787
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:29,600
Speaker 2: they cannot meld back unless Hermione Grange has actually been

788
00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:34,480
Speaker 2: a part of it. It's broken. God, I'm getting flash back.

789
00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:38,280
Speaker 1: So Harry that that quidish game and then it fixes

790
00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:38,920
Speaker 1: it anyway.

791
00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:41,880
Speaker 2: Painful, very painful, very painful.

792
00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:46,160
Speaker 1: But he if I said on Friday, if he got

793
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:48,480
Speaker 1: through the game, like he'd be the one that was

794
00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:51,200
Speaker 1: responsible for putting him through them through to the Grand Final.

795
00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:54,480
Speaker 1: He's so good, Like he's just so good and he's

796
00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:57,840
Speaker 1: very likable, very liable, a very likable. I know it

797
00:39:57,920 --> 00:40:01,759
Speaker 1: is unfortunate. It is unfortunate for me as a Broncos fan,

798
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:03,319
Speaker 1: because they're going to come in here and they're going

799
00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:05,480
Speaker 1: to be well rested, They're going to have all their

800
00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:08,239
Speaker 1: systems down, whereas the Broncos we're chaotic.

801
00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:11,200
Speaker 2: What's going on with us? Oh Reynolds is barely back,

802
00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:13,280
Speaker 2: like you've just got all this change anywhere?

803
00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:16,920
Speaker 1: And he never sprinted once in the because he has

804
00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:19,400
Speaker 1: a hamstring hanging on with dental floss.

805
00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:21,600
Speaker 2: And I'm like, when he lined up for that kick,

806
00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:24,440
Speaker 2: I was like, he doesn't have a hamstring, why is

807
00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:25,880
Speaker 2: he kicking it? And then he kicked it and I

808
00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:28,879
Speaker 2: was like, brilliant, he's kicking it. Because Reese Wold doubt

809
00:40:29,160 --> 00:40:31,120
Speaker 2: and was like, I'm not being the reason we lose this.

810
00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:33,880
Speaker 2: It's bad. Pr the game winner.

811
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:36,640
Speaker 1: So if carry Grant is the match winner for the Storm, yes,

812
00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:39,279
Speaker 1: the match winner for the Brison Broncos is Rees Welsh.

813
00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:42,880
Speaker 2: Has to be? Has to be? Can we? Because I

814
00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:45,680
Speaker 2: fear that this episode may go for four years, Yes,

815
00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:49,000
Speaker 2: we may still be recording when Mister Final is being played.

816
00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:54,080
Speaker 2: I don't even want to look at you say this.

817
00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:57,120
Speaker 2: I think the Stormer a very strong chance. I think

818
00:40:57,120 --> 00:40:59,200
Speaker 2: the Stormer a very strong chance. I really like the

819
00:40:59,239 --> 00:41:03,200
Speaker 2: storm as an institution. A good friend of mine is

820
00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:08,400
Speaker 2: working where the matches, Dave Asbury, who's a friend of

821
00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:09,719
Speaker 2: the pod. No, he's not. He's just a friend of

822
00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:13,520
Speaker 2: mine who played for the Tigers. He's doing a lot

823
00:41:13,560 --> 00:41:16,080
Speaker 2: of their help in the mental space. I've always been

824
00:41:16,160 --> 00:41:18,960
Speaker 2: really good at this sort of stuff. Storm Dare I

825
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:21,200
Speaker 2: say ahead of the pack? Yes, in terms of working

826
00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:25,560
Speaker 2: in that sort of mental space and mental game. I

827
00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:27,919
Speaker 2: wish I could be there with you. I can't, but

828
00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:31,000
Speaker 2: I just I need to know what tier of the

829
00:41:31,040 --> 00:41:34,600
Speaker 2: stadium your tickets are in the general being, do you were?

830
00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:36,480
Speaker 2: I don't even know them yet. I don't know. I

831
00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:39,359
Speaker 2: haven't got them. Cor fev Yeah, yeah, can you. That's

832
00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:41,520
Speaker 2: a question that she's not at a height.

833
00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:43,359
Speaker 1: I just know that I am driving at four thirty

834
00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:46,239
Speaker 1: am to drive from Melbourn so I can get there,

835
00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:48,279
Speaker 1: ideally in time for the girls game too, because I

836
00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:48,840
Speaker 1: want to see the end.

837
00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:51,200
Speaker 2: I just want to say, tickets from state to state

838
00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:54,799
Speaker 2: on the airplane aren't sold outs a drive. I mean

839
00:41:55,200 --> 00:41:57,880
Speaker 2: there's a lot of sand they've not they have not

840
00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:02,120
Speaker 2: shut down both made airlines prediction.

841
00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:07,560
Speaker 1: I have to go Broncos YEP. I think Broncos win by.

842
00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:15,120
Speaker 2: Eight and Reese Walsh is no makes it happen.

843
00:42:15,280 --> 00:42:16,959
Speaker 1: I think Rees Walsh is the man who makes it happen.

844
00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:20,040
Speaker 1: I don't think he'll win the Clive Churchill Medal, which

845
00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:22,880
Speaker 1: is for best on Ground. I think that that will

846
00:42:23,160 --> 00:42:26,640
Speaker 1: either go to Payne Hass like he played eighty minutes

847
00:42:26,640 --> 00:42:30,160
Speaker 1: in that prelim. He's unbelievable. It will be Payn Hass

848
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:34,399
Speaker 1: or it could be Ben Hunt in the Ultimate Redemption arc.

849
00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:37,719
Speaker 1: He's back playing a Grand Final for the Brisbane Broncos

850
00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:43,720
Speaker 1: after infamously dropping the ball and losing myself and himself

851
00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:47,560
Speaker 1: a Grand Final in twenty fifteen against the Cowboys. And

852
00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:51,440
Speaker 1: I just think that sometimes sport works out, and it

853
00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:54,920
Speaker 1: would be what a fairy tale that would be if

854
00:42:54,960 --> 00:42:56,439
Speaker 1: it doesn't work fucked.

855
00:43:03,719 --> 00:43:06,800
Speaker 2: Fun fact. Fun fact, I love to snoop. Oh, I

856
00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:08,839
Speaker 2: haven't even talked about it, and you're about to see

857
00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:09,840
Speaker 2: Teddy swims.

858
00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:12,760
Speaker 1: Yes, ideally hopefully he's got vocal issues.

859
00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:15,239
Speaker 2: Is he called it? I don't think he's called it yet.

860
00:43:15,239 --> 00:43:18,600
Speaker 2: Has he officially called it? Oh? Who are they? Going

861
00:43:18,680 --> 00:43:21,920
Speaker 2: to get LOLd because Peter Blandy's. We'd love Peter Blandy's

862
00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:24,360
Speaker 2: mostly because he loves being the antagonist. He does not

863
00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:27,920
Speaker 2: mind being the bad guy. And when the AFL got Snoop,

864
00:43:27,960 --> 00:43:31,800
Speaker 2: He's like, what have they got the poodle somemmer. We've

865
00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:35,120
Speaker 2: got Teddy Swims who actually sings, which is something my

866
00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:37,680
Speaker 2: mother would like, because my mom sent me a message

867
00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:42,040
Speaker 2: during the AFL pregame entertainment going this rap sucks. I

868
00:43:42,080 --> 00:43:44,319
Speaker 2: can't understand a word he's saying, and I was like,

869
00:43:44,560 --> 00:43:48,400
Speaker 2: that is the Meanwhile, I'm going, this is the greatest

870
00:43:48,719 --> 00:43:51,720
Speaker 2: pregame entertainment of all time. I'm basically in a nightclub.

871
00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:53,360
Speaker 1: I have Now this is going to be a dumb question.

872
00:43:53,520 --> 00:43:56,360
Speaker 1: Why is it pregame entertainment and not halftime entertainment? Like

873
00:43:56,400 --> 00:43:57,520
Speaker 1: why isn't it a halftime show?

874
00:43:57,560 --> 00:43:59,200
Speaker 2: Because there's too much stuff they have to roll out.

875
00:43:59,400 --> 00:44:00,719
Speaker 2: I believe it was a.

876
00:44:00,680 --> 00:44:04,160
Speaker 1: Pretty and they do the sprint, Oh this, but put

877
00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:04,680
Speaker 1: that before?

878
00:44:05,360 --> 00:44:09,800
Speaker 2: Did you see our other friends? I thought he was

879
00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:10,440
Speaker 2: going to kill it.

880
00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:13,759
Speaker 1: I was like, you watched this, Harry has been humbled,

881
00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:18,000
Speaker 1: but he said, oh my god, it was what who

882
00:44:18,160 --> 00:44:18,480
Speaker 1: won it?

883
00:44:18,520 --> 00:44:20,279
Speaker 2: That guy from he was very fast, and he was

884
00:44:20,360 --> 00:44:24,839
Speaker 2: very fast. I forget remember exactly unless he smoked. Put

885
00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:26,959
Speaker 2: that pre game. Put that pre game.

886
00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:31,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, and the anthems and whatever and what they've done typically,

887
00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:33,520
Speaker 1: like we had Baker Boy before Snoop, right, so you

888
00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:37,279
Speaker 1: can put those local artists they're going to have another Internet, Yeah,

889
00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:40,000
Speaker 1: put them at the start and then have Snoop Because

890
00:44:40,040 --> 00:44:44,080
Speaker 1: and I say this as it was being in the ground,

891
00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:48,560
Speaker 1: it didn't fall flat for me, but the crowd itself

892
00:44:48,719 --> 00:44:51,080
Speaker 1: wasn't as fully engaged. And I purely think it's because

893
00:44:51,080 --> 00:44:52,280
Speaker 1: it was daytime.

894
00:44:52,400 --> 00:44:55,360
Speaker 2: But it's always daytime. The game is too, Yeah, halftime

895
00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:56,359
Speaker 2: is also time, but.

896
00:44:56,320 --> 00:44:59,000
Speaker 1: It's but it's but it's slightly darker, slightly darker, so

897
00:44:59,040 --> 00:45:03,480
Speaker 1: you could see something more more of those that's fireworks,

898
00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:05,720
Speaker 1: you know, those ones that aren't like a full fireworks,

899
00:45:05,760 --> 00:45:09,239
Speaker 1: like yeah, they nearly killed Locky Neil. Yeah, when he

900
00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:12,279
Speaker 1: was final forad like that, you could it would have

901
00:45:12,280 --> 00:45:14,320
Speaker 1: been more of a spectacle. I actually thought the sound

902
00:45:14,400 --> 00:45:15,719
Speaker 1: was great. I thought Snoop was great.

903
00:45:15,719 --> 00:45:17,600
Speaker 2: I think he was clever in that any bridge he's

904
00:45:17,640 --> 00:45:19,840
Speaker 2: ever been a part of that was popular. He was like,

905
00:45:19,880 --> 00:45:21,360
Speaker 2: oh that was me you didn't know that was me.

906
00:45:21,440 --> 00:45:23,720
Speaker 2: I want to make you sweat. That's me. Yeah, David,

907
00:45:23,719 --> 00:45:28,600
Speaker 2: who what like? Basically and your beautiful chef's kiss. I

908
00:45:28,600 --> 00:45:33,880
Speaker 2: was like, where's Pharrell? But I also know that like Snoops,

909
00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:36,320
Speaker 2: my wheelhouse absolutely loved it. I know nothing about Teddy Swims,

910
00:45:36,520 --> 00:45:38,800
Speaker 2: so I am very very intrigued as to what the

911
00:45:38,880 --> 00:45:41,400
Speaker 2: NRL do now because they were wrapped. Surely they just

912
00:45:41,440 --> 00:45:42,520
Speaker 2: have to throw money at the problem.

913
00:45:42,520 --> 00:45:46,759
Speaker 1: I don't think he's officially gone. However, if he's not there,

914
00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:48,719
Speaker 1: I don't know what they do. Burn Fanning, just get

915
00:45:48,719 --> 00:45:50,839
Speaker 1: burn and Fanning there, get reform powder Finger?

916
00:45:51,120 --> 00:45:54,160
Speaker 2: Come on, now, it's that easy just to be like yo,

917
00:45:54,280 --> 00:45:56,279
Speaker 2: powder Finger. Yeah.

918
00:45:56,360 --> 00:45:58,600
Speaker 1: When I think powder Finger, I think Brisbane. So yeah,

919
00:45:58,680 --> 00:45:59,919
Speaker 1: get burned there he's fat.

920
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:04,160
Speaker 2: I think it would be unbelievable, welcome everyone, God geez,

921
00:46:04,200 --> 00:46:08,920
Speaker 2: how do how does she do it? Just all these

922
00:46:08,920 --> 00:46:10,799
Speaker 2: crazy theories. I'm like, oh, there we go, got it.

923
00:46:10,920 --> 00:46:14,799
Speaker 1: But Teddy Swims is actually divine like his if his

924
00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:20,080
Speaker 1: voice is believable, unbelievable, which is a problem vie.

925
00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:24,120
Speaker 2: If Snoop lost his voice and could only talk through it,

926
00:46:24,200 --> 00:46:26,480
Speaker 2: we would in the same effect where needs to be

927
00:46:26,520 --> 00:46:26,920
Speaker 2: able to see it.

928
00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:29,000
