Speaker 1: Hey, legends, welcome back to the Mason cock Show. Big
Speaker 1: episode today. We've got your footy questions that we have answered,
Speaker 1: and we have one of them that's come through of
Speaker 1: what not to bring on your first date. That is
Speaker 1: an interesting conversation we're about to have. Also, it's gathered
Speaker 1: around this week for AFL. We talked about the preview
Speaker 1: of all the big games over the weekend and yes,
Speaker 1: Guinea is going up against this old club calling what
Speaker 1: Hawthorne versus calling. We will break that down and what's
Speaker 1: going to happen. There's a lot in this episode, so
Speaker 1: settle in. We're starting now. All right, let's get into it.
Speaker 1: Let's gather around. Let's gather around for this round of
Speaker 1: preview of games. Brandon welcome, thanks for having me.
Speaker 2: Mace A massive gather round to you too, and it's
Speaker 2: the first time you've been actually involved on the field.
Speaker 2: Don't want to jinx it. Knock on one for gather around.
Speaker 2: You excited to head over to Adelaide.
Speaker 1: I am Adelaide's a beautiful place, beautiful part of the world,
Speaker 1: and I think it's a cool initiative by the AFL
Speaker 1: to be able to showcase one city or one area.
Speaker 1: You know, with all of the AFL teams going there,
Speaker 1: there'll be a lot of tourism stuff that the AFL
Speaker 1: will do with them and all that kind of things.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of pop ups they do around the
Speaker 1: Adelaide Oval and just really kind of get around it.
Speaker 1: And you see, I will say this. I was talking
Speaker 1: to someone from Adelaide the other day and they said,
Speaker 1: it's really cool to see so many people who support
Speaker 1: all kinds of different teams show up with their jumpers
Speaker 1: and go to all the different games. So even if
Speaker 1: it's like a North Melbourne game, where a Geelong game
Speaker 1: where is you'll see like a Richmond fan there. You
Speaker 1: might see like a Collingwood fan there, just wanting to
Speaker 1: enjoy the footy. So it is a cool little initiative
Speaker 1: the AFL has done. It was quite successful last year
Speaker 1: and I assume it will be very successful this year.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think it should go to somewhere like
Speaker 2: Sydney or whatever next. Already a big city.
Speaker 1: My northern territory. That's why I'm at.
Speaker 2: Drive some you know, some tourists to some of the
Speaker 2: smaller cities around Australia. Tazzy, I know you love it
Speaker 2: down there. But let's jump into the footy because we've
Speaker 2: got Adelaide Melbourne kicking things off at Adelaide Oval. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and boy oh boy, doesn't Adelaide need to win Melbourne
Speaker 2: staying over there? They go the back to back in Adelaide.
Speaker 2: How do you see this one playing out?
Speaker 1: It'd be tough to pick Adelaide over Melbourne. At the moment,
Speaker 1: Melbourne playing pretty high. They had Stephen May. We had
Speaker 1: the question marks around whether or not they'd be able
Speaker 1: to fill that role. This week they did it against
Speaker 1: a really good opposition Port Adelaide, so they're able to
Speaker 1: stand up against quality side. So I've got Adelaide unfortunately
Speaker 1: losing this and going down again and they will be
Speaker 1: winless still at the end of this round.
Speaker 2: I don't know if you want Adelaide in Adelaide for
Speaker 2: gather around or if you want a random team.
Speaker 1: But do you think they get like a bit of
Speaker 1: like exciting things like everyone's come to us.
Speaker 2: Home game if it's your home game. Do you lose
Speaker 2: a home game being in Adelaide? You just have to
Speaker 2: give it up to Adelaide. I don't know how it works.
Speaker 2: I'm not on the inner sanctum of the AFL house.
Speaker 2: But I will say that I do have Melbourne convincingly
Speaker 2: been in Adelaide. I've been wrong about pretty much everything
Speaker 2: so far this we can this year, So I don't know.
Speaker 2: They've got to just score a bit more than thirty,
Speaker 2: get out of those thirties, like we said on the
Speaker 2: last episode, get to forties, fifties, and you might be
Speaker 2: getting it done. I don't I could be wrong also
Speaker 2: on this, but I don't feel like May should come
Speaker 2: back in with his busted rear and vertebrae. You don't
Speaker 2: want to have damaged vertebrae going in. Let's move over
Speaker 2: to Brisbane North. Blockbuster at Norwood Oval. You would have
Speaker 2: been out there a few times.
Speaker 1: Norwood, Yeah, big fan of Norwood playing trade.
Speaker 2: I'd love to get out there. Unfortunately, stuck here in Melbourne.
Speaker 2: But Brisbane North both teams needing a win. Yeah, Brisbane,
Speaker 2: you know, I don't know if you know this.
Speaker 1: Brisbane. I think a bit more of the North of them.
Speaker 2: But they were in the Grand Final last year and
Speaker 2: now they're winless coming into this season. All the heat
Speaker 2: on them been there, not that much heat on North
Speaker 2: at the moment. Just everyone expects them to be down
Speaker 2: that bottom end of the ladder. So who you got
Speaker 2: getting the win in this game?
Speaker 1: I've got Brisbane winning their first game, getting a bit
Speaker 1: of positiv in the clubs some It's been an interesting
Speaker 1: week for them over there at Brisbane, but I can't
Speaker 1: go against them again versus or sorry versus North Melbourne.
Speaker 1: I know we're fans of the Ruse at this podcast,
Speaker 1: but it's going to be tough to be able to
Speaker 1: pick North over Brisbane at a neutral ground. It's I
Speaker 1: think they they'll easily get to win there and North
Speaker 1: unfortunately will not have a win on the board and
Speaker 1: Brisbane will at the end of this game.
Speaker 2: I think big group of Brisbane players going over there,
Speaker 2: getting on the plane away trip, the boys solidify that
Speaker 2: nothing wrong could go there. Port v essenon Adelaide Oval,
Speaker 2: big matchup we get to, we say in the real
Speaker 2: deal every single week. We yet to figure it out.
Speaker 2: But good signs last week got the win in the end.
Speaker 2: But will they get the win against Port Adelaide in
Speaker 2: Adelaide at Adelaide Oval.
Speaker 1: See if they win this game, you know what's gonna happen.
Speaker 1: They're gonna be like Esston this is our year. We're
Speaker 1: finally breaking the drought. We're gonna do it. That's gonna
Speaker 1: be every headline out there in the media if they
Speaker 1: beat Port at home at Adelaide. But for me, I
Speaker 1: think Port probably gets up for this one. I think
Speaker 1: they'll have a massive amount of fans obviously there with
Speaker 1: the big experience of gathered around. They have pretty much
Speaker 1: a sell out there that all let Oval and it'd
Speaker 1: be tough for us then to go into opposition territory
Speaker 1: and get a w.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I'm going to say Port just because I was.
Speaker 2: I thought Port was, you know, top four team going
Speaker 2: into last week when they shipped the bed against Melbourne.
Speaker 2: I couldn't get the win with no Stephen May in
Speaker 2: the side. But it'll be a good one to see.
Speaker 2: Hopefully Essendon can really give it to them. Yeah, but
Speaker 2: we move over to West Coast Sydney. Now this is
Speaker 2: a back to an five six blockbuster that old rivals
Speaker 2: out of Mount Barker, Oval Mount Mount Barker in the
Speaker 2: Adelaide Hills, So Sydney.
Speaker 1: A few nights out in the Barosa.
Speaker 2: I would bike out there once saw a snake on
Speaker 2: the path and I was like, I didn't didn't fear nothing.
Speaker 2: You just wanted to give it the one left right,
Speaker 2: Good nights Snake. But West Coast, no good.
Speaker 1: Give us, give us something we can like strive for
Speaker 1: with West Coast in this game.
Speaker 2: And no, Harley Reed, I'm not allowed to say, Harley Reed.
Speaker 1: I'm going to say they kick into the forties or
Speaker 1: above points. Yeah, that's that's a win. That's for West Coast.
Speaker 2: That's a big win. If they can score over thirty
Speaker 2: nine points.
Speaker 1: You know it's I don't like direction. You're better than
Speaker 1: last week. You're moving into better fields and better pastures.
Speaker 1: That's yeah.
Speaker 2: They need they need some more forwards. They need some
Speaker 2: more players to kick it into the forwards, and then
Speaker 2: they need some more defenders to stuff the opposition forwards.
Speaker 2: So if they could just improve those three lines, like through,
Speaker 2: what else.
Speaker 1: Is there is there? The bench? You need to improve
Speaker 1: the bench and how it's.
Speaker 2: Right as the coach. But we're not talking about him
Speaker 2: because we love.
Speaker 1: We love him given trash circumstance.
Speaker 2: But out there at Mount Barker, when you finish your game,
Speaker 2: you reckon your cruise out Mount Barker watched this one.
Speaker 2: It's not your game. Hasn't happened yet.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, well, I think the best chance I think
Speaker 1: for West Coast to winn is probably to draft someone
Speaker 1: named Jo Sorry cosh Ginity And if you never heard
Speaker 1: of him, he's a pretty good player Forred out of
Speaker 1: West Coast. He's had a bit of experience over there.
Speaker 1: I think he might be able to kick ten for
Speaker 1: him and get him on the board.
Speaker 2: I reckon the best chance they have of winning this
Speaker 2: game is if Sydney I don't know where to go
Speaker 2: and they get lost on the way to Mount Barker or.
Speaker 1: Break down of the bus.
Speaker 2: Maybe as one's bus, let's move over to Frio. Carlton,
Speaker 2: adelaide over adelaide O will get a real workout. Undefeated
Speaker 2: teams going at it, obviously, Carlton, I feel like we
Speaker 2: know kind of where they're at. They were good last year.
Speaker 2: They got the good lists, We got the big forwards
Speaker 2: that are kicking the big goals. Now Freo not as
Speaker 2: sure now this is we get.
Speaker 1: A good kid saying this they've won three Yeah, wet,
Speaker 1: What point do you turn the corner and say Freo
Speaker 1: is a good.
Speaker 2: Team when they beat good teams?
Speaker 1: So if they win this week, here you go, free
Speaker 1: I might be in the Type A this year.
Speaker 2: So if Freo, you know, they beat like North West
Speaker 2: Coast and like the VFL boys like there, you obviously
Speaker 2: can't tell if they're good or that, but you know,
Speaker 2: if they come out and they beat Carlton and Adelaide Oval,
Speaker 2: still a weird ass game saying that Freo Carlton at
Speaker 2: Adelaide Oval, they're good. They're good. They're undeniably good if
Speaker 2: they if they have a good showing against Carlton, they're
Speaker 2: still good.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So you're saying Carleton is of the best teams
Speaker 1: in the leagues that we're getting on four carl Okay.
Speaker 2: That's probably comfortably top four. Who's your top four right now?
Speaker 2: You can't.
Speaker 1: We got number one's West Coast, Gold Coast number one.
Speaker 2: My seedings would be GWS.
Speaker 1: I reckon, Yeah, of course that's your team.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then maybe Carlton.
Speaker 1: Yeah what Carleton top four?
Speaker 2: Then Sydney and Port had some question marks over the weekend.
Speaker 2: Melbourne maybe Melbourne's third.
Speaker 1: I will say that, and people keep say it's very
Speaker 1: even louder. Yeah, I know, it's like you have to
Speaker 1: shake out and everything else. Just earlier in the season.
Speaker 2: Have you seen any Hawthorn, West Coast or North games
Speaker 2: this year? Not so great. But I've got Carlton winning
Speaker 2: this one. Actually yeah, yeah, I.
Speaker 1: Think I could just be upset alone for you.
Speaker 2: It could be we go Freo could get it done.
Speaker 2: They seem to just.
Speaker 1: If Luke Jackson has maybe forty touches kicks three goals,
Speaker 1: they could get up for the line.
Speaker 2: They just need to get a good start, because what
Speaker 2: Frio has been doing is getting a pretty shit start
Speaker 2: and then just plowing teams getting like eights and nine
Speaker 2: goals in a row or whatever. Just start good and
Speaker 2: then you're guaranteed to win.
Speaker 1: I know if you're guarantee, but I will say I'm
Speaker 1: going to go with this one as the upset round.
Speaker 1: So you got in this one. I know that's controversial,
Speaker 1: but I'm going to say, gets up for this.
Speaker 2: I have to stick with Carlton just because, well, neither
Speaker 2: team's given me anything to get off them for. But
Speaker 2: I just think Carlton is a better team. Western Bulldogs v.
Speaker 2: Geelong Adelaide Oval. Yeah, it's that's a pretty tasty one.
Speaker 1: That is tasty, real kind of around the eight, you know,
Speaker 1: over the last few years, around that and yeah, it's
Speaker 1: gonna be a good game. I don't know. I think
Speaker 1: it's Western Bulldogs. They're good. They're very good. That big
Speaker 1: win last week. They got to they have to trial
Speaker 1: a few different things in their game plan too. Who
Speaker 1: knows if that's going to come up in this game.
Speaker 1: But I at the Western Bulldogs getting over Geelong at
Speaker 1: the Adelaide Oval. I think it is the Adelaide Oval.
Speaker 2: I think it had to have been a bond rest
Speaker 2: game last week, Like he had sixteen kick two or
Speaker 2: three or whatever up in the forward line. He's got to.
Speaker 1: I love that you're saying that's a rest game for
Speaker 1: Chuck him.
Speaker 2: Back in the middle like he was just he was
Speaker 2: just relaxing down there. But I've got I'm going to
Speaker 2: go with Geelong.
Speaker 1: We've got a few differences this week.
Speaker 2: The senior squad get out there. I don't I still
Speaker 2: don't know what I'll get from Western Bulldogs week to week.
Speaker 2: Last week they're good, which probably means this week they'll
Speaker 2: be bad. Gold Coast Suns versus GWS Mount Barker Oval.
Speaker 1: Now this is our team going, Oh, we need.
Speaker 2: Like over under what the crowd will be for this one.
Speaker 2: Because I reckon they'll show up in there drove. They're
Speaker 2: gonna have to have police out there, you know, directing
Speaker 2: traffic because they're all going out to watch the Sun's
Speaker 2: versus GWS Mount Barker Oval. This will be an absolute cracker.
Speaker 2: Who do you have?
Speaker 1: What do you mean? Who do I have? My Gold
Speaker 1: Coast science man. Yeah, you have to stick to our team.
Speaker 1: You can't just be dropping off the band. You have
Speaker 1: to say GWS every single week, and I have to
Speaker 1: say Gold Coast every week.
Speaker 2: But there are boys, I feel bad for you because
Speaker 2: GWS is obviously going to kick the ship out of it.
Speaker 2: You actually think, I feel like we need a wager
Speaker 2: on this one. Yeah, I bought your lunch this week,
Speaker 2: so he will never let me forget that either, because
Speaker 2: that's one from a thousand. Let's we'll come up with
Speaker 2: a wager for that one. And I'm happy because whatever
Speaker 2: you want, I'm happy to put it on the line
Speaker 2: because I know GWS is winning that game. Thank you
Speaker 2: very must suns.
Speaker 1: Okay, at some point during the air, if you win,
Speaker 1: I'll have to wear a g WS thing, And then
Speaker 1: if I win, then you have to wear a Gold
Speaker 1: Coast thing.
Speaker 2: You gotta, we gotta because they both have banging theme songs.
Speaker 2: We've got to sing the opposing team's theme song.
Speaker 1: Oh sing it sound from the west of the town. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's going to be an interesting one. I don't mind
Speaker 1: that it'll be like that. What was the other rugby
Speaker 1: team over the weekend? They had the papers out to
Speaker 1: be able to sing their Western Tigers Western targets like
Speaker 1: the McDonald's out for two. Whenever you do it, Jane.
Speaker 2: Good looking?
Speaker 1: Hey, just doing bicep curlsn't.
Speaker 2: Come and beat the ship out of it.
Speaker 1: We'll go to next one.
Speaker 2: That's a good one though. Let's go over to Richmond
Speaker 2: Saint Kiloda. Nor would over back nor would be like,
Speaker 2: what's where are all these people coming from nord.
Speaker 1: In flux of tourists coming to Norwood Oval this weekend?
Speaker 2: No absolutely ignorance, no idea where Norwood is. And it's
Speaker 2: probably in the CBD.
Speaker 1: I think it's a suburb. I we should we should
Speaker 1: have done.
Speaker 2: But we love Norwood, We love everyone from the Norwood area.
Speaker 2: If if Norwood's the suburb, right, that would be your guess. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so we're going out there for Richmond Saint Kilda, Richmond
Speaker 2: obviously coming off a great win over Sydney. Tom Lynch
Speaker 2: got the minor hamstring to so he won't be out there.
Speaker 2: Who have you got against Richmond Saint Kilda.
Speaker 1: I've got Saint Kilda getting back on the winner's list
Speaker 1: over Richmond. Tough to pick. I think Tom Lynch was
Speaker 1: a massive in for them last week and played a
Speaker 1: massive game for them last week and for him to
Speaker 1: be out this week is going to be a big
Speaker 1: issue for them.
Speaker 2: So a lot less targets up there.
Speaker 1: Back to Ryan might get a call up then that's
Speaker 1: going to He's given one of the biggest falcons of
Speaker 1: the year last week in the VFL. He might be
Speaker 1: getting the little go But I think I've got Sat
Speaker 1: Kilda winning this one over Richmond and they get back
Speaker 1: on the winners list.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Max King coming back for this one. I can't
Speaker 2: go past Saint Kilder. I still think they're a good team,
Speaker 2: just unfortunately fumbled the bag last week. Now we'll go
Speaker 2: into the big game. Collingwood's first Hawthorne adelaide over. That's
Speaker 2: where they put the prime time players on the Big
Speaker 2: Dog Oval, the Big Boy Oval Ginnavan. First time he
Speaker 2: will come up against the reckony players or they do
Speaker 2: one of those ones where he gets managed and missed week. Yeah,
Speaker 2: hit him with the tag. He had a big week
Speaker 2: last week.
Speaker 1: Just break bad straight to Guindy, have a day.
Speaker 2: How do you welcome Guinea in the game against Hawks?
Speaker 1: Ah? Yes, say high to him before the game. That's
Speaker 1: that's about it. That's about it.
Speaker 2: What do you so you come up against Jack Ginnovan
Speaker 2: first time? Is he going to be duck and trying
Speaker 2: to get a high free kick? And what happens if
Speaker 2: he gets one of the Collingwood boy is going to
Speaker 2: go we know this play, we.
Speaker 1: Know fans, I'm not. It's like, you know, he's essentially
Speaker 1: got the villion of those for us and ever he played.
Speaker 1: Now it's because it's against him.
Speaker 2: Even now, you go, we had we had a good run.
Speaker 1: It was good fun, but it lasted. No. I think
Speaker 1: I'll have one high free kick from me on Guinea
Speaker 1: over the weekend, just to stir the part of it.
Speaker 2: You got to tackle, you get to tackle.
Speaker 1: It's a win win, that's it. That's it. But yeah,
Speaker 1: now I've got obviously pick us over Hawthorne obviously, But
Speaker 1: who do you have on this one?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Well, clearly Collingwood Hawthorne aren't very good, but it'll
Speaker 2: be interesting to see how Jack Inovan goes. A lot
Speaker 2: of good small defenders on Collingwood's team, so I feel like,
Speaker 2: hopefully he gets clamped down, but at the same time
Speaker 2: I want to see something from him. I love watching
Speaker 2: Guinea go out there, and he'll be wearing the long sleeves,
Speaker 2: no doubt. Hopefully you know it doesn't see him out
Speaker 2: there and he doesn't over but yeah, it'll be cool
Speaker 2: to see Guinea get a goal and see what the
Speaker 2: reaction is. But I feel like Collingwood needs to be
Speaker 2: winning this game. It can't be one of that. You
Speaker 2: can't lose this game and expect to do any this year.
Speaker 2: So go over there, get the dub, have your break,
Speaker 2: and then you're back for ans Act Day. That's big run, now,
Speaker 2: big big run.
Speaker 1: I think we played port Islaide before ans Ac Day
Speaker 1: to that no one cares.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no one cares about that game, but that's the
Speaker 2: weekend's footy. So are you excited to head on over there?
Speaker 1: Man? I think gather Roun's going to be good fun.
Speaker 1: I think we've got a little appearance with the community
Speaker 1: there for a day, so we'll kind of get back
Speaker 1: to community while we're there, which would be good fun.
Speaker 1: It's just nice to see all the different teams on
Speaker 1: one place, you know. I think it's going to be cool,
Speaker 1: great initiative for Adelaide to be able to get tourism
Speaker 1: into there and be able to show their beautiful city,
Speaker 1: the city of churches. As they say, duck in, you
Speaker 1: just burst into flames Catholic Brad, Hey, so am I
Speaker 1: I've been baptized.
Speaker 2: Look at me though, classical classic example. I haven't swung
Speaker 2: in into a fair bit as you go, check up.
Speaker 2: I got a lot.
Speaker 1: Of confession at that pew for a few hours. Let's
Speaker 1: get into one of our favorite parts of the fan questions.
Speaker 1: We put them out before we record the podcast, and
Speaker 1: you a lot put them. Actually, do we want to
Speaker 1: touch on this? There was something really cool over the weekend.
Speaker 1: I do want to maybe make mention.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, there was given what Arlington Football Club.
Speaker 1: Let's get around an AFL community.
Speaker 3: Why they end a sixty eight game sixty eight sixty
Speaker 3: eight game losing streak with their first senior victory since
Speaker 3: twenty eighteen.
Speaker 1: That is awesome? What an accomplishment yes, after what is
Speaker 1: that five years of not winning a game, I'd probably
Speaker 1: forget my club song.
Speaker 2: Also, think about everything you've done since twenty eighteen to now.
Speaker 1: Wow, that's happened, and that whole spad.
Speaker 2: The whole thing. You guys went from grand final, dropped out,
Speaker 2: new coach, backup grand final winners and they've won one game.
Speaker 1: Shout out, shout for Arlington. We got back, we entered
Speaker 1: back PA PAFC. We're all about them, We're all about
Speaker 1: and hopefully getting another dub this weekend.
Speaker 2: Congrats. Let's jump over to the footy questions now, This
Speaker 2: one in from Joseph DP twenty seven. Has anyone ever
Speaker 2: farted while playing footy? Oh my gosh, may of course
Speaker 2: it has to happen. It happens all the time, you
Speaker 2: know everyone that's played footy. Like the biggest, yeah, thing
Speaker 2: that gets used before football game is a toilet.
Speaker 1: That thing is a revolving door. We all know that this.
Speaker 2: Players live on a mixture of you know, powerade, protein
Speaker 2: shakes like fruit like that's that all just ferments in
Speaker 2: there and you got to get it out before you
Speaker 2: run out there. Because accidents happened, don't they? Ben Keys
Speaker 2: didn't we see them.
Speaker 1: They calm down, don't be doing that. I don't be
Speaker 1: doing that bad, don't be doing that. Let's move on.
Speaker 2: It was a funny one. I remember Bucks was still
Speaker 2: the coach. Yeah, and there was like the big start,
Speaker 2: like there was all this controversy came out about, like
Speaker 2: it was a big news story. I think Collingwood is
Speaker 2: playing West Coast or something, and they wanted to get
Speaker 2: vision from in the rooms to like fuel this news story.
Speaker 2: They're slowly zooming in and then the boys start like
Speaker 2: laughing and they're like, you know, they kind of write
Speaker 2: like their own story. Why the players are laughing such
Speaker 2: a serious like moment. Oh, it's good to see they're
Speaker 2: having to laugh while the news are swirling around them.
Speaker 2: And it turns out I think it was Alex Fasolo
Speaker 2: dropped these guts in the whole group, and like Bucks
Speaker 2: is trying to go through his whole thing, going like, boys,
Speaker 2: we need to just forget the controversy. And then he's like,
Speaker 2: what is that smell? And all the boys start laughing,
Speaker 2: but obviously there's no audio to it, so everyone's creating
Speaker 2: their own stories. It's just one of the boys dropped
Speaker 2: their guts before they rolled out, and.
Speaker 1: It happens all the time in the NBA. You see
Speaker 1: on the bench, you just see mass exodus people from
Speaker 1: the bench. You just know what's happening. It's very obvious,
Speaker 1: but it does happen on the football field. We'll go
Speaker 1: to the next question. Brady wanted what do you have for.
Speaker 2: Caitlyn Dent to know what or who is your best
Speaker 2: rock opponent?
Speaker 1: Oh? Man best, the best person I've probably ever played against.
Speaker 1: Nick nat Tanui. He was an absolute freak. He's one
Speaker 1: of the only people I think that I'm going into
Speaker 1: a cinerbat's going I'm probably gonna lose this one. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he just was a freak athlete. He could tackle hard
Speaker 1: and he was just a solid built man.
Speaker 2: I don't know if get that many kilos off the
Speaker 2: ground like it was so impressive. The only way you
Speaker 2: could do it is like fast twitch muscle fibers and force,
Speaker 2: because he must have just been a strong blow.
Speaker 1: I remember one of the first games I played against
Speaker 1: him four fifty. Worst thing that can happen as a
Speaker 1: ruckman happened against in the Sorry what was it Sydney
Speaker 1: versus Geelong Grand Final or Tom Hickey twice they had.
Speaker 1: I think it was Tomahawk pulled it out of the
Speaker 1: ruck snapped a goal as a ruckman. That's one of
Speaker 1: the most embarrassing things that can happen. Nick that knew
Speaker 1: one of the first time I ever played, and I'll
Speaker 1: never forget it. I was under the bar, just smashed
Speaker 1: me under it snapped one from like forty and it's
Speaker 1: just like the whole thing of walking back to the
Speaker 1: huddle and all the mids are looking at you like
Speaker 1: we didn't do anything.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you try to stop.
Speaker 1: He just kind of raise the head like, yeah, my bad, mate,
Speaker 1: it's on me. Yeah, it's on me. He embarrassed me
Speaker 1: very early in my career and continued to embarrass me
Speaker 1: throughout my career as many other people. But he's probably
Speaker 1: the best rock opponent overplayed against.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm sure he would have embarrassed a lot of
Speaker 2: people in his time. This one from Mason Cox's lover.
Speaker 2: Is that relative or is that your burner account? Mason
Speaker 2: Cox hater, what tips do you have for female beginners
Speaker 2: in the sport?
Speaker 1: Ah tips for female beginners anyone? Really? Any beginners? I want,
Speaker 1: you know, only say female. I think just focusing on
Speaker 1: the simple things right. If you can get the simple
Speaker 1: things right, then you can start figuring out what your
Speaker 1: strengths are in the game and be able to focus
Speaker 1: on those. But yeah, simple things. Just getting to be
Speaker 1: able to kick right, contact of the ball, important, to
Speaker 1: handball correctly left and right. Little things like that. I
Speaker 1: think you're the best thing to give advice to people
Speaker 1: to focus on and don't don't get caught up in
Speaker 1: around the corner kicking and all this fancy stuff. Just
Speaker 1: do the little things right in the basics, right. That
Speaker 1: is my advice to your burner account.
Speaker 2: That's just that's just rock training. One I want, isn't it.
Speaker 1: Let them do the rest. That's my thing.
Speaker 2: This one from Zach Matthews, who's hit you and you
Speaker 2: were surprised how much it hurt.
Speaker 1: God, I've heard I've had a few broken ribs from
Speaker 1: from defenders hit me over the years. Also, there's like
Speaker 1: it was Zan Cordy maybe from the Bulldogs, broke a
Speaker 1: rib whenever I wasn't looking hit me off ball. There's
Speaker 1: been a few those that have happened. I did have
Speaker 1: the spleen last year. We've we've touched on that plenty
Speaker 1: of times. But yeah, in the contest, in the contest
Speaker 1: walking around there, it's usually away from the ball. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's usually away from the ball. Over the weekend, I
Speaker 1: got one of those, you know, we talked about it.
Speaker 1: We've talked about a few times on the podcast. I
Speaker 1: think someone got fined for it where someone open hand
Speaker 1: tried to hit me in the shoulder and got me
Speaker 1: on the chin. So those happen quite a because you're
Speaker 1: not really you expect to get hit kind of as
Speaker 1: a ruckman going back by a few small fellows along
Speaker 1: the line, right, unless your max go on then now
Speaker 1: on process. But yeah, you expect to get hit by
Speaker 1: a few kind of guys. And that's that's never fun.
Speaker 1: Whenever a small guy's got that leverage on you, he
Speaker 1: gets onto the kidney and everything else.
Speaker 2: He's going on.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's punching up, you know, while I'm trying to
Speaker 1: punch down on.
Speaker 2: But that's something that you should do often. Let's jump
Speaker 2: into the general questions now, these are a bit more
Speaker 2: about life and you know everything basic. Best way to
Speaker 2: recover from a big game or a big night out.
Speaker 1: How'd you like hw'd you light one on one? You
Speaker 1: know those bottles not not the satchels, the bottles, smoke
Speaker 1: a whole thing was just straight down. Just oh man,
Speaker 1: that's the best way. And then it takes a few
Speaker 1: hours kind of start getting a bit of sugar and
Speaker 1: electrolytes everything else back in. You even better if you're smart.
Speaker 1: You do it before you go out. You hydrate before
Speaker 1: you go out. Now you're gonna have few drinks. Used
Speaker 1: to do that college best thing, gut me through some
Speaker 1: of the toughest nights.
Speaker 2: Most of us don't do that, though, but it would
Speaker 2: be very responsible. Drink in between. What they always say,
Speaker 2: drink water in between. Don't drink more beers, because sometimes
Speaker 2: I get caught up in that. You drink beers and
Speaker 2: then you drink beers in between. Doesn't work.
Speaker 1: Let me take a break shot at the heel.
Speaker 2: It's got to be water. It has to be water,
Speaker 2: otherwise it doesn't work. But hydraul it's a good one.
Speaker 2: Aspiring aspirin, I feel like it gets to the brain quicker.
Speaker 2: Just drop a couple of aspirins. Zach Matthews, that's your way. No,
Speaker 2: that was jp with that one. We've got Caitlin Bullmer,
Speaker 2: When are you going to take Mason to a chucken. Now,
Speaker 2: I assume this is a question from.
Speaker 1: Me to you.
Speaker 2: You've been everywhere else. Have you ever been to a.
Speaker 1: Chicken I've driven through it. I've been there. Everyone drives
Speaker 1: through a Chugen, but I've I've seen some friends ski
Speaker 1: out there. It's very dangerous up there on the river.
Speaker 2: Absolutely so. Eighty someone dies every year still happens.
Speaker 1: Yeah, tell me the highlight of your checker. Yeah.
Speaker 2: So if I was going to plan a day for
Speaker 2: us down there, or you steamboat your paddle steamer ride,
Speaker 2: but you don't want to do it first, it's got
Speaker 2: to be middle of the day. Your rock up, you
Speaker 2: get a nice breakfast down in the port, You go
Speaker 2: for a stroll.
Speaker 1: Through any cafe you're going to shout out here.
Speaker 2: They're all good, no good, they're all good. Your cruise
Speaker 2: through the port area, you have a look. You might
Speaker 2: get a little horse ride around. You soak up some
Speaker 2: of the history. Obviously, you grab your paddle steamer ride.
Speaker 2: You go out there. You learn some more about the
Speaker 2: river and the waterways, the great waterways that you know.
Speaker 2: Go into the country regions and you get all your
Speaker 2: vegetables and all delicious stuff. Don't drink the water and
Speaker 2: then don't.
Speaker 1: Drink the water, but we're going to feed that water
Speaker 1: to everything you eat.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then we have the most pubs per capita
Speaker 2: out of pretty much anywhere in We can just go
Speaker 2: to town after that, obviously out of football season.
Speaker 1: But do you go on a pub crawl out there
Speaker 1: in the Sugar You do? But yeah, are you limited
Speaker 1: about three.
Speaker 2: Harrow spends every other week end of the.
Speaker 1: It is the whole local app Yeah, putting your hand
Speaker 1: in your face, we understand.
Speaker 2: What do we got any plans for the gather around weekend?
Speaker 2: So you get some time? Do you or do you
Speaker 2: have the first port or did you buy after first port?
Speaker 1: After I think I want to say, I'm not sure.
Speaker 1: I think it's in Melbourne though, so it's at the
Speaker 1: m Study. I want to say, Yeah, we'll go over there.
Speaker 1: We've got a little bit I think of an oz
Speaker 1: kick clinic or something giving back to the community, so
Speaker 1: we'll have a little bit extra time there gather around.
Speaker 1: I'm sure at some point I'll kind of walk around,
Speaker 1: maybe not while the games are.
Speaker 2: On, but what's that go down run the more?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know what that is, but yeah, I
Speaker 1: might do that. You don't know what random maintains the
Speaker 1: main strip. Yeah, yeah, I'll go through that. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: I'll go down to the Adelaide Oval and see kind
Speaker 1: of the setup and stuff. Want to you know, I
Speaker 1: didn't experience gather around last year and be kind of
Speaker 1: cool to see exactly that pop ups and what's all
Speaker 1: going on and all that, and yeah, it'd be neat.
Speaker 1: I think it's such a good initiative. We've we've said
Speaker 1: it before, so it'd be cool to kind of see
Speaker 1: the you know, what's happening there and how much the
Speaker 1: atmosphere is going on all diferent people their footballjumpers on.
Speaker 2: Do you remember last time you played at Adelaide Oval?
Speaker 1: Port Adelaide raining day played like shit got dropped next.
Speaker 2: Week that's where Taylor Adams need. Was it justin west
Speaker 2: off in the head and got like a bunch of.
Speaker 1: Weeks maybe and it was hit like a game winner
Speaker 1: again in the corner?
Speaker 2: Oh no, a different game because I was thinking I
Speaker 2: think it was Dance One's two fiftieth and anyway, they
Speaker 2: went fifty.
Speaker 1: I think that was the last time I played an Adelaide.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, how often they would have to travel anyway?
Speaker 1: Nine years ago, which traveled in Marvel Stadium three times
Speaker 1: a year.
Speaker 2: I want to get your thoughts on this one from
Speaker 2: Rosemary and Duffy. What are your thoughts on Turkish delights?
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a weird one, probably not my first.
Speaker 2: What about there's two though. There's like the Cadbury one,
Speaker 2: it's like the chocolate with the jelly in it. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and then there's like real Turkish delights.
Speaker 1: Now, I'd be more of a fan of Cadbury one now.
Speaker 1: The other one is a bit of a wouldn't be
Speaker 1: my first choice as far as it deserve.
Speaker 2: It's like a cube covered in Yeah that's It's like.
Speaker 1: A weird powdered sugar cube of caramelish taste. Yeah, is
Speaker 1: that right? That's am I thinking of? Yeah, probably not
Speaker 1: my first thing, but if I was out like a
Speaker 1: Greek restaurant, I'd probably have some. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I think I weirdly like Turkish delights, the Cadbury one.
Speaker 1: The what's your what's your category? Block of choice?
Speaker 2: I'm a dream guy. I like right chocolate actually, Cara milk.
Speaker 1: I'm like full addicted.
Speaker 2: I need to stop real bad, real bad.
Speaker 1: Can you can you get through? Like not eat the whole.
Speaker 2: Block, a whole block over two days.
Speaker 1: You're better than I am. The next question is this
Speaker 1: is where you just shine and you just shine right
Speaker 1: like a diamond.
Speaker 2: I'm part of this, the biggest, the Melbourne's most eligible
Speaker 2: batcher on that list, the old fella talk about your
Speaker 2: old on this blog. Jason Dunstall, who was making the list,
Speaker 2: let's get into it. What's the one thing you should
Speaker 2: never bring on a date? Apart from your parents?
Speaker 1: Geez, your parents would definitely be up. There is the
Speaker 1: first thing I would say don't bring. Maybe your ex
Speaker 1: boyfriend or girlfriend. There was the worst thing to a date?
Speaker 2: What about like what about a backpack?
Speaker 1: A backpack? That's a really interesting.
Speaker 2: It's very unattractive to just be a guy wearing a backpack.
Speaker 2: I feel like that's an.
Speaker 1: Ex straightaway coffee day, it's in the middle of the day.
Speaker 2: Clearly tell that he's a backpack guy. And then secondly
Speaker 2: they'll be like, what's in the backpack? You're staying over?
Speaker 2: You think you're staying over.
Speaker 1: Tooth thrush, tooth face, you know the other for the
Speaker 1: morning with lunch boy. I have an impeccable skincare Routinea.
Speaker 1: I use every.
Speaker 2: I feel like a backpack is a weird one.
Speaker 1: Your dog, No, that's a dog's fine. That's that's you
Speaker 1: go for a first state for a dog walk. Man, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's some time.
Speaker 2: I wouldn't take a girl to meet my dog first date.
Speaker 2: Not because he's special or anything. He just annoy the
Speaker 2: shit out of us.
Speaker 1: But yeah, maybe, yeah, that's it. I can't think of
Speaker 1: anything else. Apparently parents number one yo yo? Yeah maybe
Speaker 1: with the spin tops you know the draidle tops.
Speaker 2: Remember that Yoho diablos yo, the two sticks with the
Speaker 2: string and you're like.
Speaker 1: Oh, yes, I don't even know what they're called.
Speaker 2: What about like a digimon with like tamagotchi, and every
Speaker 2: fifteen minutes on your first date, you've got to be like,
Speaker 2: hang on, I just got to make sure I feed
Speaker 2: my tamagotchi and you just go over.
Speaker 1: I feel like this is personal experience.
Speaker 2: You can't let your tamagatti die. It shows responsibility and
Speaker 2: that you're an adult because you keep things alive. That's
Speaker 2: my selling point. What how I sat on.
Speaker 1: Your hinge profile? I feel like it is my tomagotchi
Speaker 1: is still alive after twenty years of feed again.
Speaker 2: Pretty good time of got She's like, kill me, kill me.
Speaker 1: I was supposed to run out of battery by then.
Speaker 2: How expensive would you be willing to go on a date?
Speaker 1: What's the average money you had spend on a date? Nice,
Speaker 1: nice meal, couple of drinks. I'm saying you're probably looking
Speaker 1: at two hundred bucks.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I think two hundred bucks.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Now I've got to ask this question because I've
Speaker 1: had a friend recently. He's been on five dates with
Speaker 1: a woman, all dinner dates, and she has never offered
Speaker 1: to pay for any of it, or even like split
Speaker 1: the bill. This man has dropped one thousand dollars on
Speaker 1: a woman who they haven't really kind of got past
Speaker 1: the getting to know your stage.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: It's like, essentially he's done the same date five times,
Speaker 1: and he's spent that kind of money on overtime. At
Speaker 1: what point do you think it's appropriate maybe for something
Speaker 1: to offer, you know.
Speaker 2: I think you're got to look after yourself and stop
Speaker 2: going on dinner dates, maybe shake it up a bit,
Speaker 2: change it over. And I feel like, ah, you can.
Speaker 1: See the thousand dollar mark, and you're like, that's all
Speaker 1: a lot of.
Speaker 2: Cash, five dinner dates, a lot of cash.
Speaker 1: For someone you are still getting the now.
Speaker 2: Five dinner dates to not move past into any other stage.
Speaker 2: There's a lot of dinner dates. I feel like she's gone.
Speaker 2: This guy is not a winner, and I just want
Speaker 2: for five free food.
Speaker 1: That's a lot of dinner dates. He's a good fellows,
Speaker 1: very handy.
Speaker 2: That's why I feel like it's very important to go
Speaker 2: like a low key opener date. And then the next
Speaker 2: date is when you're ramping up. You're trying to really.
Speaker 1: Like see your coffee date, first dinner date.
Speaker 2: Yeah, coffee or like a drink you can get in
Speaker 2: and get out. Like I could not do a dinner
Speaker 2: date first date because if you sit down, you're like, yeah,
Speaker 2: let's get the entree and the main and let's go.
Speaker 2: And then they're just an absolute drainer and you have
Speaker 2: to sit there and wait for each meal to come
Speaker 2: out and sit through and eat the whole thing, and
Speaker 2: the whole time you're like, I want to get out
Speaker 2: of here. But a drink you can go, oh yeah,
Speaker 2: one drink. Actually i'm driving. I drove here. I got
Speaker 2: to get out of here.
Speaker 1: See you, Yeah, I will say. My favorite thing to
Speaker 1: do and go out for dinner is to watch other
Speaker 1: people on the first date. Yeah. Oh, it's the greatest.
Speaker 1: It's the greatest, all the little things of like the
Speaker 1: you know, the signals and stuff they put out that
Speaker 1: maybe the one other person doesn't see, and like that,
Speaker 1: oh that the first touching of each other, you know,
Speaker 1: and being like, oh I'm flirting with you. Oh no,
Speaker 1: I love that. I could just do that all day.
Speaker 1: I think it's the greatest thing to do. I will
Speaker 1: sit down at a pub on the corner or even
Speaker 1: sometimes I'll do this. Actually I'll sit down. I want
Speaker 1: to say where it is, but I will sit down.
Speaker 1: There's a bar and my favorite pizza joint in where
Speaker 1: I live, and I will sit down and watch just
Speaker 1: people around me on first dates and stuff and just
Speaker 1: really dissect it. It's one of my most entertaining and
Speaker 1: favorite things to do.
Speaker 2: I thought you were going to say you start peering
Speaker 2: through their lound room window the way that you were
Speaker 2: getting you're getting a bit too excited, the way that
Speaker 2: you're talking about this.
Speaker 1: Luckily for me, i'm actually above the fence line.
Speaker 2: You're single, and you're like, I like just watching other people,
Speaker 2: so good. Yeah, I'm not going to say the same.
Speaker 1: Let's move on the next thing.
Speaker 2: Expected probably couple hundred bucks, couple hundred bucks, and well
Speaker 2: it's just that's like four or five drinks.
Speaker 1: Yeah, first five drinks, good food, good time, all.
Speaker 2: Right, moving into this one, and I believe it would
Speaker 2: be quite hard. But have you ever dated someone taller
Speaker 2: than you? So we're talking to.
Speaker 1: Eight foot so i'd have to be like, what ten
Speaker 1: twelve years old before the monstrosity that I am. No,
Speaker 1: I've never dated. Someone told me I did chat too
Speaker 1: girl that was six foot six. Once six foot six.
Speaker 1: She wore heels and was eye level with me. That
Speaker 1: was a weird feeling, I must say, very interesting feeling.
Speaker 1: She's an absolutely legendar. I still friends with it today.
Speaker 2: It's not Yeah, it's not as hard for me someone
Speaker 2: that's kind of around the five to ten mark.
Speaker 1: Oh thanks, short Kings.
Speaker 2: Do you think don't call me short King? That's you
Speaker 2: just that's not fair. Out of five ten, it's not
Speaker 2: a short personality. Six short king five, six.
Speaker 1: Short Kings eight. What happens if your girlfriend's like six
Speaker 1: foot two?
Speaker 2: Yeah, it doesn't make you any shorter. You're still the
Speaker 2: same ard. She's just huge.
Speaker 1: I saw I saw a poster the other day for
Speaker 1: an advertisement for shoes that gave you extra hide. So, oh,
Speaker 1: you know what they are. The short King knows that
Speaker 1: they are about a short king. But I've done some
Speaker 1: research and be tolder.
Speaker 2: The girl girl six foot six one? What are you
Speaker 2: calling her? You're not giving her some label?
Speaker 1: On am I calling her? I'm hoping she calls me.
Speaker 2: That's pretty good. You're not going to call it like
Speaker 2: big princess or something. Cancer.
Speaker 1: I hope we have kids in the NBA is well,
Speaker 1: I hope, geez, could you just do that you're going
Speaker 1: to do I have a structual agreement with one of
Speaker 1: my friends at six foot one to say if we
Speaker 1: hit I think it's like thirty five or something, and
Speaker 1: neither one of us have a kid. It's just getting close.
Speaker 1: We're just going to have a kid and then just
Speaker 1: push something to the NBA. Just push no, it doesn't
Speaker 1: have a choice.
Speaker 2: It's ken love ever across the Yarra. This is a
Speaker 2: topical one.
Speaker 1: Of This is so funny because it's such a like
Speaker 1: sectional thing.
Speaker 2: They split right, so it's like.
Speaker 1: I would say, out the river, it's probably where the Yeah.
Speaker 2: What suburbs are on the other side.
Speaker 1: Or you got you got your South Melbourne. You've got
Speaker 1: your Pran it's the biggest one to rack. You've got
Speaker 1: Saint Kilda, you've got Brighton, you've got all the beach
Speaker 1: and stuff. South of the river. North of river you
Speaker 1: have well the city, You've got Richmond, you've got Fitzroy.
Speaker 2: You've got more artsy.
Speaker 1: It's a bit more artsy, bit more. Yeah, I call liberal,
Speaker 1: which is labor here. Yeah, it's a whole thing, a
Speaker 1: bit more artsy up north and North Melbourne, everything else,
Speaker 1: and then we're not even gonna talk about that. Then there's
Speaker 1: just the west side.
Speaker 2: Like the western doesn't count. That's why it stops.
Speaker 1: It's not like but then there's west of the Bridge's villa.
Speaker 1: There's a whole different thing. But I do find it
Speaker 1: funny because it's very different personal personalities live north and
Speaker 1: South River. It is a thing, one hundred percent. It's
Speaker 1: a thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm a I'm south of the Erraw, so I'm
Speaker 2: in like a fancy area. But I'm not a fancy boy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm actually kind of blown away. You live south
Speaker 1: of the Era, it's picture more of a northern guy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: your work's north of the.
Speaker 2: I should be I should be. I'm not. I'm in
Speaker 2: no man's land. I'm very north of the river.
Speaker 1: I'm a chuku. You'll take anything, Yeah.
Speaker 2: But you can, you can, it can cross. They're two different.
Speaker 2: It's a great divide.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't. I don't really. I don't really merge
Speaker 1: to the other side much.
Speaker 2: I will say, yeah, I think where I'm at is
Speaker 2: like I would love someone ideally south of the yerraw,
Speaker 2: but I'm forcing it because I'm not. I'm not south
Speaker 2: of the arrow at heart. You know, I would like,
Speaker 2: you know, is your is your rich girl wears nice
Speaker 2: stuff and like like I'd like all of that stuff.
Speaker 1: Is your your kilometer like distance on your dating profile
Speaker 1: would be like fifty ks sixty fact just said to
Speaker 1: Australia at this point.
Speaker 2: Limiting we open it right up.
Speaker 1: Take any let's get into the next one. Brother who
Speaker 1: we got.
Speaker 2: We will say, just split up with the misses two years?
Speaker 2: Can you help me? Oh, what's your advice?
Speaker 1: Advice?
Speaker 2: I would consider that a long term relationship.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is a long term relation long to me, Yeah,
Speaker 1: for sure, that's longer any am? I yeah? Am my
Speaker 1: advice hang out with friends, get out and the bout.
Speaker 1: That's fine. To you know, you get a bit of freedom,
Speaker 1: go enjoy it.
Speaker 2: It's brutal, isn't it.
Speaker 1: It's so it's going to be. Look, it's going to
Speaker 1: be a rough realization of what the dating scene is.
Speaker 1: I think after like any relationship, you go out there
Speaker 1: and then you see what's out there and you're like,
Speaker 1: oh gosh, what have I done? That's the first reaction.
Speaker 2: That's not great people.
Speaker 1: You do meet good people and whatnot, and you vibe
Speaker 1: and eventually figure it out. But I think that first
Speaker 1: initial experience you're like, holy smokes, this is what I
Speaker 1: have to pick from.
Speaker 2: I think in terms of tangible things that you can do, yeah,
Speaker 2: like get them off your Instagram if you don't want to, like,
Speaker 2: if you don't want to unfollow or what, just do
Speaker 2: mute them so you don't see them posting and they're
Speaker 2: going out and they're having fun and maybe you're not
Speaker 2: up to that spot yet in life where you want
Speaker 2: to get back out there. So mute them so you
Speaker 2: can't see them. Mute all their friends. You don't want
Speaker 2: to cause any friction where it's like oh yeah, well
Speaker 2: if their friends is then like, oh he unfollowed me,
Speaker 2: and it starts some shit that you don't want to start.
Speaker 2: Just mute them so you don't see him, don't hear
Speaker 2: from them, but you keep it, you.
Speaker 1: Know, big mute list.
Speaker 2: Well it's just them, and then they're friends, so it's
Speaker 2: probably about ten people. So you're muting them, and then
Speaker 2: that gives you a chance to heal and recover. Just
Speaker 2: create a bit of space. You don't want to see
Speaker 2: them constantly. You're trying to get over it, so you
Speaker 2: don't want to them going like I went out, Oh
Speaker 2: I'm seeing this guy, I went out for dinner. I
Speaker 2: went out for like, I don't want to see that.
Speaker 2: So that's my first tangible step is just mute all
Speaker 2: them and their friends and then start the healing process.
Speaker 2: Because the next thing is it just takes time.
Speaker 1: Time heals everything. As they say, isn't it?
Speaker 2: Isn't it?
Speaker 1: What's the next one?
Speaker 2: How do you slide into someone's d MS and start
Speaker 2: a conversation?
Speaker 1: This is the almighty question that everyone struggles with, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think there's everyone has a different way of going
Speaker 1: about it.
Speaker 2: Yes, how do you personally go about sliding into people?
Speaker 1: I think I slid into Sabrina Carpenter's DMS whenever she
Speaker 1: was in Melbourne. She said she's looking for a Melbourne
Speaker 1: boy and I was like, oh, I got nothing to lose.
Speaker 1: Update didn't get you gotta shoot your shot and it's
Speaker 1: all amount of rest. She was like, this guy looks
Speaker 1: like an absolute tool. Yeah. Now I think I don't
Speaker 1: know how to slign into DMS. I think you probably
Speaker 1: you do something you can't. Can't go to forward, right,
Speaker 1: You can't just be like, yeah, this is it. You
Speaker 1: find something that's like kind of funny about what they post,
Speaker 1: and react to a post. You find an angle, an
Speaker 1: angle that's not weird and creepy. Yeah, so yeah, it's
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's like, I don't know if they've
Speaker 1: got something that background one of their photos, like people
Speaker 1: wouldn't see usually that you kind of comment on. That's
Speaker 1: like something about their personality or something maybe like a
Speaker 1: little you know, funny comment about that would probably be good.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So it's got to be something relative not creepy.
Speaker 2: So don't say they put up a nice picture, they're
Speaker 2: looking good or whatever. Don't say looks like you smell nice?
Speaker 2: What that's an example of what not to do.
Speaker 1: It is so bad, I.
Speaker 2: Say, yeah, I'm giving them an example of what not
Speaker 2: to do.
Speaker 1: That was way too quick for you to be.
Speaker 2: So you don't say you smell nice or you smell
Speaker 2: when you're saying through the internet. When you're saying you

Speaker 1: but don't make fun of someone that's not attractive. Don't
Speaker 1: know it's no. Don't do that as an initial intro.
Speaker 1: If someone's sitting there and they do a selfie in that,
Speaker 1: and don't be like, oh your rooms dirty a ship

Speaker 2: I actually had a date?
Speaker 1: Did you have a date?
Speaker 2: I know people do like these things. It didn't go well,
Speaker 2: but it was the first one quite a while now,
Speaker 2: it's about on that, I think, but we didn't stick
Speaker 2: around that long. It was one of the shorter dates
Speaker 2: that I've ever been on.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, it.
Speaker 2: Went for about an hour and a half, which is
Speaker 2: like short, but I've been like four hours and stuff
Speaker 2: for most days.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Anyway, so I kind of knew it wasn't gonna go
Speaker 2: well gosh, within the first five minutes. Yeah, I knew
Speaker 2: pretty quick. The problem is, like I hate you know,
Speaker 2: you gotta be attractive, You gotta you've gotta have someone
Speaker 2: be attracted to you, is the goal. Yeah, but I
Speaker 2: can't be stuffed, like I can't the whole flirting thing
Speaker 2: and like being all suave and shit. I just go
Speaker 2: and be myself, which I think We've had conversations. She'd
Speaker 2: never be yourself what you want to feed it to
Speaker 2: them over time, But I didn't do that. I just
Speaker 2: used it basically as like a stand up routine, Like
Speaker 2: I was just riffing jokes, and in terms of jokes,
Speaker 2: I was on fire. I'm doing pretty good. If it
Speaker 2: was a set. She was laughing. But at the end
Speaker 2: of the day, they still have to be attracted to
Speaker 2: you and not just see you as this weird guy
Speaker 2: that just met up with him telling jokes. But at
Speaker 2: one point, yeah, she joked that she went to Canada
Speaker 2: on a holiday and said that she could ski and
Speaker 2: I was like, oh, that's really difficult, Like that's awesome.
Speaker 2: How do you do that? And she's like, oh, you
Speaker 2: know you do the French fry pizza And I said, oh,
Speaker 2: I normally do French fry acl and she said she said,
Speaker 2: I knew I landed a good joke. That was a
Speaker 2: good joke. That's gear on the run those people. And
Speaker 2: she didn't laugh, She just said, ah, that's funny.
Speaker 1: And she actually do know.
Speaker 2: She just she just said that's funny. Was not And
Speaker 2: I was like, god, comments as soon as that happened,
Speaker 2: I knew I was cooked. But she was quite attracted.
Speaker 1: That's how long into the date was this? So you
Speaker 1: said it went for an hour and a half.
Speaker 2: I was definitely in the back end of the.
Speaker 1: If you're there and said, you made she's not vite?
Speaker 1: What's right?
Speaker 2: In future? I need to go a little lighter on
Speaker 2: the on the comedy gear and try to be a
Speaker 2: little more attractive. I couldn't get a haircut. I kind
Speaker 2: of I threw some clothes on it. I got to
Speaker 2: get it. I got to try a bit more. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I just want to be me, but I got to
Speaker 2: get there slowly. So that was that. I you know,
Speaker 2: at the end where she was hot. So I threw
Speaker 2: out the oh, that was great. We should do it
Speaker 2: again sometimes full well knowing that I'm not chance. You
Speaker 2: got to put it out there because there's no point,
Speaker 2: not nothing to lose. So I put it out there.
Speaker 2: She didn't respond for two days, yeah, and then hit
Speaker 2: me with one, going, oh, just seeing this now massive life.
Speaker 2: And unfortunately I don't think we're a great match romantically.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, which is I read that?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean.
Speaker 1: I'd rather say that they go on a second date,
Speaker 1: spend another couple of hundred bucks.
Speaker 2: Well I was like, yeah, I figured like two days
Speaker 2: later it's probably not a go. But yeah, not a
Speaker 2: good match romantically. So that's why I think I got
Speaker 2: to be a bit more, gonna have a bit more
Speaker 2: steeze about me, get out there, maybe get a check
Speaker 2: for you. Now I'm insecure.
Speaker 1: Maybe she mustaches?
Speaker 2: Who knows most I only go on dates with people
Speaker 2: that are like, I'm pro mustache. Otherwise they would say no,
Speaker 2: you make that clear. Before you get prof It's one
Speaker 2: of my prompts. Would you want to see the mustache?
Speaker 2: Stay or go? And then if they say go, I'm like,
Speaker 2: why do you even reply? That's just bullying.
Speaker 1: It's just rude, me, just abusing.
Speaker 2: Anyway, any dates for you?
Speaker 1: No updates, well, no updates on the dates.
