00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:12,440
Speaker 1: Hello, it's me Art Simone, and I've got a confession

2
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:16,919
Speaker 1: to make. I hate boring people. People with no sparkle,

3
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 1: no color, no personality, no nothing. It disgusts me. That's

4
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:27,639
Speaker 1: why I'm finding the most interesting people, ones with unusual jobs,

5
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 1: weird hobbies, and sometimes scandalous secrets to chat with. Truthfully,

6
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:35,680
Speaker 1: sometimes they do seem a bit boring at first, but

7
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 1: that's because I don't actually know what it is that

8
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:41,879
Speaker 1: makes them interesting. We'll find that bit out together. This

9
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 1: is Concealed with me at Simone. Let's meet our guest

26
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 1: strange thing. I don't know what that specifically entails.

27
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,680

Speaker 2: to expect, all right.

79
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 1: So what am I gonna do is ask you three questions,

80
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 1: and from the answers to those three questions, I have

81
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 1: to determine what it is you were concealing from me. Yes, okay, alright,

82
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 1: you ready it all right? First question I have for

89
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 2: big massive animal.

90
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 3: Do you think of yourself as a god?

91
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 2: No doubt? No, tower over people. Okay, there's a little bit,

92
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 2: I guess. No, no, no, never consider myself a god?

93
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, So so Cox, where's that coming from?

94
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 2: I can't tell. We'll give it up.

95
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 1: Oh oh what okay? Question number two? Which one animal

96
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 1: do you think would survive the apocalypse.

97
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 2: I would say a magpie.

98
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:01,719
Speaker 1: A magpie? Why a magpie? Well, Maggie.

99
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're aggressive animals, very aggressive animals. Don't mind swooping people,

100
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:07,720
Speaker 2: keep you know, people, people away from their nests.

101
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 1: Do you think that's how they'd survive?

102
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 2: They can also fly, you know, I mean, like, how

103
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 2: cool to be to be able to fly? You know,

104
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,159
Speaker 2: you can get out of situations easily, not many people

105
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 2: that are probably coming after you in the air.

106
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 1: Flying seems like a lot of effort. Imagine how hard

107
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 1: you like your arms would hurt, you know it would?

108
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 2: It would be amazing. Imagine soaring above the clouds.

109
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:28,920
Speaker 1: I rather just sit down. No. I like magpies because

110
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: I get called a bagpie all the time because I

111
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,839
Speaker 1: like sparkly things and shiny things, and I collect lots

112
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 1: of sparkly, shiny things, so people often call me a magpie.

113
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 1: So maybe by proxy I'll survive the apocalypse. The only

114
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,839
Speaker 1: things that will be left after the apocalypse share yep,

115
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:49,760

00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, Jim, all right, I haven't been in one

123
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,640

Speaker 3: Anytime Fitness Alton and no even though with the Geelong now.

127
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 1: If you want to, I can't get to ALTONAO to

128
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 1: cancel my membership, which I've had for like the last

129
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:32,839
Speaker 1: four years, even though I live in Geelong.

130
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 3: Could you please just cancel it?

131
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:40,600
Speaker 1: Things anyway? All right, Okay, recap Okay, likes tea, spilling secrets,

132
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 1: Giant Man Dallas, Oklahoma, God Magpies g could be Jim. Okay,

133
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,799
Speaker 1: I'm going to put this together. Oh I was going

134
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 1: mafia for a second. I was just singing mafia because

135
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 1: you know the God you know, that could be your

136
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,840
Speaker 1: like mafia name Cox Youler, alright, and you could be

137
00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:02,480
Speaker 1: a mafia who uses T as a code name to

138
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 1: sell things. But now I don't think so, okay, because

139
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:07,720
Speaker 1: you're not very inconspicuous because you're a giant. So I

140
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 1: feel like he really wouldn't work in the mafia or

141
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 1: a bikie gang because you're like, oh there he is

142
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 1: again tough to stirk and now, yeah, that's true. But

143
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 1: instead I'm going to go left a field. Okay, all right,

144
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 1: because what I think is that you're concealing from me

145
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 1: is that you aren't actually a human person. You are

146
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 1: two human people on each other's shoulders wearing a coat.

147
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 3: Am I right? Are you two people?

148
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:33,400

00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 1: a trench coat. No, he is actually a Collingwood football player.

159
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 1: And I tell you what I do like ball sports,

160
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 1: so this could be fun. We're here with Mason the

161
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 1: professional AFL player, but from Texas.

162
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 3: I'm confused.

163
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 1: Please explain how did you come all the way from

164
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 1: Texas and then end up in the AFL.

165
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 2: This is a very very long story.

166
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 1: Cliff notes.

167
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:40,839
Speaker 2: Cliff notes love that Okay, in a long time, went

168
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:44,319
Speaker 2: to school to Colombis State University Stadium mechanical engineering, and

169
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 2: then from there it got recruited to go play on

170
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 2: the basketball team, actually get recruited from playing women's basketball.

171
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:54,200
Speaker 2: If you can believe that. Very weird women helped the

172
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 2: women's team play basketball, so i'd emulate one of their oppositions,

173
00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 2: who was Britney Griner was recently in Rush. Yeah, as

174
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 2: her play that. And then the men's team asked me

175
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:06,840
Speaker 2: to come play with them. And then I played on

176
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:07,960
Speaker 2: the men's team for about three.

177
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 1: Years because top people know we played basketball.

178
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, I was a late bloomer, is what you

179
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:14,599
Speaker 2: would call it. Six inches in a summer is what

180
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 2: I grew in height. Oh, it's to hit puberty.

181
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 3: Yes, six Actually it sounds like a movie. I've watched

182
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 3: six Inches.

183
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 2: And then from there, God's offered to come over to

184
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 2: Australia to try out a new sports in AFL and

185
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 2: learn it from scratch.

186
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 1: Who found you and said AFL.

187
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 2: I played soccer growing up, so like soccer and basketball

188
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 2: to that kind of correlate best to AFL, so kind

189
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 2: of a good mixture to go.

190
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 3: Into people in America. I'm confused.

191
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 2: It was a basketball draft scout that the AFL had

192
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 2: hired to find me in the US playing basketball. Yeah,

193
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 2: very weird. Unique hasn't been done since.

194
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 3: It's a very odd strange.

195
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, it doesn't make a lot of sense.

196
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 1: Someone comes up and says, hey, you're tall. Yes, he's

197
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:04,080
Speaker 1: a business card. And then they said AFL, what do

198
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 1: you do? You go what?

199
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 2: They go, you played soccer before, you can kick something right,

200
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 2: And I was like yeah. And then they go, you've

201
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 2: played basketball, you can go and like understand the three

202
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 2: sixty degrees of sport. And I said yeah, and they

203
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:17,560
Speaker 2: said I think you might be okay to play AFL.

204
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:19,320
Speaker 2: I said, hold on, you're going to pay for a

205
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:22,439
Speaker 2: free trip to Australia, to a beautiful place. So I

206
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 2: never didn't know anything about it, never heard of Melbourne

207
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 2: before it. Only heard of Sydney, beautiful Place, Sydney Opera,

208
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 2: pro House, the Bridge. That's all I knew about Australia

209
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 2: and they asked me to come to Melbourne, and then

210
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:33,199
Speaker 2: I found out what this was, found out what AFL was.

211
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:35,680
Speaker 2: I never heard of it, and then learn the whole

212
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 2: game from scratch, and now I'm here. It doesn't make sense.

213
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 2: It doesn't make sense.

214
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 1: What did you have to leave behind to like be

215
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 1: all right, I'll take the golden ticket. We'll give it

216
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:46,080
Speaker 1: a shot. Come on.

217
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 3: One.

218
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 2: I had a job at Excellent Mobile and working as

219
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 2: a mechanical engineer. I was going to travel the world

220
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 2: doing that and then got this weird call and came

221
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:57,679
Speaker 2: over here, did a combine in Los Angeles, then kind

222
00:10:57,679 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 2: of did one in Australia and they said, look, do

223
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 2: you want to drop that combine.

224
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 1: I'm going to be stopping you at a thousand times

225
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:06,199
Speaker 1: today because you were speaking another language to all right,

226
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 1: sleigh hunting work.

227
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 2: A combine is like a athletic testing kind of expells gus.

228
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 2: Like fitness tests, Yeah, fitness testing for the big tests.

229
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 1: In high school?

230
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:22,200
Speaker 2: Didn't How did you do on the big test?

231
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:27,320
Speaker 1: Not very good? Look at judge, judge away, that's what

232
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:29,960
Speaker 1: I go for it. No, I was awful at the

233
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:31,560
Speaker 1: beat tests. That's afled at anything.

234
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:34,720
Speaker 2: I've never done a big test. Really no, I don't

235
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 2: think so.

236
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 1: I think the thing you'd struggle with is just having

237
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 1: to bend down to tap to.

238
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 2: Like yeah, I'll be more of just like touched with

239
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 2: the foot.

240
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 1: And maybe you could have an extender.

241
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,080
Speaker 2: Oh, I've been inspector gadget.

242
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:48,959
Speaker 1: So you did some fitness things and they you're actually

243
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 1: all right, and then you do some more fitness thing

244
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 1: combines whatever here and they go, oh, actually all right,

245
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 1: what happens? Then they go okay, you get drafted.

246
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 2: They flew me out to Ash, all expenses paid. I

247
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 2: didn't think it was a real thing like AFL. I'd

248
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:04,080
Speaker 2: never heard of it, never seen it.

249
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 1: So your family and is over in America, right, so

00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:18,439
Speaker 3: So you get to Australia. What's happening.

256
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:22,960

257
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:25,960
Speaker 2: there's not as nice as a weather in Melbourne as

258
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:29,720
Speaker 2: probably you would expect. And I have to learn this

259
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 2: whole sport from scratch.

260
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:33,319
Speaker 1: Right, how do you study? Do you watch lots of

261
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 1: videos or you're just like on the field.

262
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:37,840
Speaker 3: I don't know anymore.

263
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 2: The first two months spent with coaches and stuff learning

264
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:43,559
Speaker 2: the game, just kind of vision and stuff like that.

265
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 2: I didn't go into games and then got thrown into

00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 1: and money in you. Do you feel like a secret

273
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:04,560
Speaker 1: like it's like some military compound where they're like training

274
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:06,719
Speaker 1: up a superhuman there was Did they grow you in

275

00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:10,679
Speaker 1: What does that mean?

278
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:16,319

Speaker 1: do a big reveal they're like, you know, like did

281
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,240

282
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:24,200

00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 3: Do you have a position?

286
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 2: What do you rock?

287
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 1: Yeah?

288
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 3: I'm your new rock.

289
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 2: It wasn't that good of an introduction.

290
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:37,840
Speaker 3: I've just never heard of like this. It's crazy.

291
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, do you feel like a secret superhuman weapon thing?

292
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 2: I wouldn't say that. I would say I feel very

293
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 2: unique because no one else has kind of done the

294
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 2: same thing I have, which is kind of cool. So

295
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 2: there's only been one other born and bread American player.

296
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:51,960
Speaker 2: I Fly only played like three games, so yeah, it's

297
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:52,559
Speaker 2: very different.

298
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 1: It wasn't a hard record to beat, then.

299
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:56,440
Speaker 2: Break record every week plays.

300
00:13:56,559 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 1: So I like to think that, Okay, so you've trained up, alright,

301
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 1: you're good to go. How long is this process before

302
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 1: you get onto the field.

303
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:07,319
Speaker 2: So I played my first game about a year and

304
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 2: a half into learning what the sport was, and I

305
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 2: played it on as a day.

306
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 3: They're really investing in your time. It's a big game.

00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 1: We're unveiling our new secret weapon. Go for it.

317
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 2: How did you go kick the first goal?

318
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 1: Oh?

319
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 2: That's three good, right, start, got the win pretty well.

320
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 2: Tick tick okay, So that was a good start to

321
00:14:56,840 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 2: the career. I'm not going to say it was easy, say,

322
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 2: very nerve racking to go in front of eighty five

323
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 2: thousand people absolutely love the sport and are crazy about it,

324
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 2: and you're like, hey, I just showed up here. I'm

325
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:09,400
Speaker 2: I'm really sure what's going on.

326
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 1: It's just a couple of weeks to it.

327
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 2: It is, Yeah, performed in front of the little big crowds.

328
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 1: Not eighty five thousand. What's the largest crowd up to down?

329
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 1: I think like five or six thousand, but.

330
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 2: Still five You still get the energy.

331
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, give me.

332
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 2: You're in a group.

333
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 3: All right, you're in a group after.

334
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 1: You got that by myself.

335
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean twenty two eighty. By twenty two, you'd

336
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 2: have more fans per person than I would.

337
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 3: Stop lifting me up. Hey, all right, stop giving me confidence.

338
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 3: But it's not about me.

339
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 2: It's about you.

340
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 1: Thank you avoiding the questions here today. All right, you're

341
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 1: now playing the game, how do what does everyone else think?

342
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 3: What are they feeling? What are they vibing? They're like,

343
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:48,520
Speaker 3: who is this? You know? Yank?

344
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 2: Yank?

345
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 1: Is that offensive?

346
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 2: It's not early days. It was very much like teaching

347
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 2: me the basics. So you can imagine it'd be quite

348
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 2: probably frustrating as a teammate whenever you have someone else

349
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:02,239
Speaker 2: who's that far behind someone and skill set. Right, yeah,

350
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 2: but the but yeah, it was like I say, steep

351
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 2: learning curve from the beginning, and then once you kind

352
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 2: of get put into the deep end, you start, you know,

353
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:16,000
Speaker 2: swimming a bit better as far as the more experienced.

354
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 1: I don't want to alarm you, but you're not actually

355
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 1: a swimmer. You play a f L. Yeah, I don't.

356
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 1: You got a bit confused.

357
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 3: I totally get that, though.

358
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 2: I will say something that's unique about me is I

359
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 2: actually wear goggles in games. I've had six, i think

360
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 2: eye surgeries from people poking my eyes out, so I

361
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 2: now have to wear protection for him.

362
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 1: You're the bagpie. Yeah, I know he's going and poking

363
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 1: your eyes.

364
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 2: Well, it's everyone's hands because they can't actually get to

365
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 2: the ball, right, so they have to scratch through my head.

366
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 2: And pull back.

367
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 3: Is that actually, like, do you think that's a hype thing?

368
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 2: They're like, that's as far as I can give to

369
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 2: the head. And then the fingers go into the eye

370
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 2: sockets and ripped the eye out. So yeah, footy injuries loved.

371
00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 3: Even in trouble for stabbing your eyes.

372
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 2: It's it was considered an accident. Unfortunate. That's why I

373
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:10,360
Speaker 2: haven't now. Yeah, so if you try to just got

374
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:12,399
Speaker 2: a little well, I can't touch this.

375
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:14,400
Speaker 3: Does that distorge your vision at all?

376
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:16,679
Speaker 1: Though? I feel like it'd be bad for your peripherals.

377
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:20,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, but they're customs, so they're tinted because I've had

378
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:22,679
Speaker 2: an issue with minds as far as my pupil, so

379
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 2: you see, maybe one pupil is different than the other.

380
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:27,280
Speaker 1: Very David Bowie, very David Bowie, very good.

381
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 2: And yeah, so I've got one that's tinted, which is

382
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 2: kind of unique. And it's also prescription, so I can

383
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:34,359
Speaker 2: see better with mine.

384
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:38,920
Speaker 1: Curious, okay, very interesting. So is there a player or

385
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 1: a team that you have it out for because of

386
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 1: like the I thing, what teams you have beef with?

387
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:45,639
Speaker 1: You know what team you're like beef with? I'm not

388
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:46,280
Speaker 1: with them. Megan.

389
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:49,520
Speaker 2: People always say I've got beef with rich men because

390
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:51,360
Speaker 2: I've we've played them a few times. There's a bit

391
00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:54,399
Speaker 2: of a rivalry there. And I will say this, I

392
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 2: don't mind a bit of trash talk on the field.

393
00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 3: Can you do some trash talk for we pretend I'm rich?

394
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:03,120
Speaker 1: Hi, girls, I'm gonna beat you.

395
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, I kick so many goals. Fine, I'm gonna do

396
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 3: the one in the middle goals.

397
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:11,440
Speaker 2: Yeah. I love your How much you know about ifl

398
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 2: it's so good. I've been doing a couple of games,

399
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 2: don't you worry? Meat pies, Meat Pies all four and twenties? Yes, yes, No,

400
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:21,439
Speaker 2: I think I don't know that. The trash talk is

401
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 2: more after goals and stuff. So if you do something, well,

402
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 2: so let's say you jump on someone's shoulders, sticking it

403
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 2: in the back of someone's.

404
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:27,800
Speaker 3: Head, is that allowed?

405
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:31,160
Speaker 2: That is allowed? Just doesn't sound very safe at all.

406
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:34,920
Speaker 3: But get yours, get my tits?

407
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 2: Oh my god. But no, I think a little bit

408
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:40,680
Speaker 2: of trash talk is always good. And it's always like

409
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 2: if you do something that's like bad for them, because

410
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:44,439
Speaker 2: I feel like it's a mental game a little bit,

411
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 2: I fl and you're allowed to trash talk and get

412
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:49,159
Speaker 2: into people's heads. So that's kind of something I'm probably

413
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:52,160
Speaker 2: known for, and I'm being America, yeah a little bit.

414
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:54,479
Speaker 3: The crowds wouldn't hear any of this, would they?

415
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 2: You know?

416
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:56,680
Speaker 3: Eighty five thou people.

417
00:18:56,680 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 2: Although I've realized this umpires now with microphones, I do

418
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:02,360
Speaker 2: pick up things here and there. So if you see

419
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 2: a little greens, you gotta shut the mouth and are

420
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 2: really just giving reel it in a little bitch.

421
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:15,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, flap our wings and just it's so good. Oh

422
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:17,440
Speaker 1: my god. Do you have like a team like chant

423
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:18,400
Speaker 1: before you play a game?

424
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:19,440
Speaker 2: We have a team song.

425
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, but me and the girls that were on drag

426
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 1: Race together. Whenever we do shows together, we have a chance.

427
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:27,680
Speaker 1: We say beforehand and we say none of this come

428
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:30,640
Speaker 1: by our ship. Ten inch cock is what we say.

429
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 1: And then we go on stage or if I'm on

430
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:35,639
Speaker 1: stage with my good friend, etcetera, we say, none of

431
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:38,840
Speaker 1: this will matter. When you did, We've actually got a

432
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:51,879
Speaker 1: single play it now, Dull added in post none of

433
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:52,119

Speaker 2: the song it's.

440
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:12,400
Speaker 3: Okay.

441
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:15,040
Speaker 2: So we all yelled that whenever it comes on during

442
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 2: that song because it's one of our pregame songs, so

443
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 2: we all stop our warm up and just scream that

444
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 2: part of the verses. And that's the way we get

445
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:22,360
Speaker 2: into a game.

446
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 3: Oh my god, yeah, is there anything.

447
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:27,480

448
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 1: I was like, are you sure? Well, I guess we're

449
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 1: not that different. You know, both physical demanding professions. What's

450
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:35,440
Speaker 1: it like getting old?

451
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, it happens pretty quickly in AFL. I think most

452
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 2: careers last three years, is the average career?

453
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 3: Really?

454
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then you go into retirement. So the fact

455
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:46,480
Speaker 2: I'm at nine is pretty pretty crazy. Yeah. Yeah, it's

456
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:47,919
Speaker 2: a quick turn, right, Like there's I mean, you can

457
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,400
Speaker 2: have an injury tomorrow and you know your career is done. Well,

458
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 2: it's very much.

459
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 1: Side that or do they tap out like say that

460
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:56,720
Speaker 1: you've had your other injuries, have you been like, you know,

461
00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:58,359
Speaker 1: just put me out to pasture after this, you know,

462
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 1: like a horse falls over and America you do get

463
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:01,680
Speaker 1: the feel.

464
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, you do get the feel. Some people like concussions

465
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:06,399
Speaker 2: and stuff, like doctors said, look going forward, this is

466
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:08,880
Speaker 2: the best case in ara few is to stop playing sport. Yeah,

467
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 2: so some stuff like that. People have had shoulder injuries

468
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:13,680
Speaker 2: and their shoulder keep popping out, keeps popping out, and

469
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:15,960
Speaker 2: they can't deal with that. So sometimes your body just

470
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:17,439
Speaker 2: says you can't do this anymore. You have to move

471
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:18,120
Speaker 2: on something else.

472
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:19,160
Speaker 1: Engineering.

473
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 2: Engineering, it's not a bad plan.

474
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:22,160
Speaker 3: B where'd you go back to it?

475
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 2: Ideally? No, I don't think I could sit behind a

476
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 2: desk and just sit there all day. But yeah, I'm

477
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 2: in the media world to do a podcast just like

478
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:33,200
Speaker 2: you hear that show?

479
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:35,560
Speaker 1: Oh is this where I have to credit the Mason

480
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 1: Cock Show? Everyone? That's the Mason cock Show. But it

481
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 1: must be weird because you have such a big fan

482
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:45,919
Speaker 1: base here, especially in Australia. What's it like for all

483
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 1: the people back home?

484
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:49,879
Speaker 2: Very few. I was on sixty Minutes US, which is

485
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:52,960
Speaker 2: like thirteen million people watch that. That was cool, but yeah,

486
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 2: it's unknown in America. So the cool thing about it

487
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:57,679
Speaker 2: is obviously Melbourne's kind of a bubble for football, Like

488
00:21:57,680 --> 00:21:59,560
Speaker 2: everyone loves football here and they go home and people like,

489
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:00,679
Speaker 2: what do you do for living? I'm like, oh, I

490
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 2: play footy and they're like, oh soccer, Oh, soccer. It's good.

491
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:06,119
Speaker 2: So it's kind of cool to be like, you know,

492
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 2: you go and you go to here and people are

493
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:10,280
Speaker 2: obsessed with it, and it's kind of cool to have

494
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 2: that experience and you go home and you're just like,

495
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:12,879
Speaker 2: no one knows anything.

496
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:15,400
Speaker 3: Every day person, yeah, every day.

497
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:17,160
Speaker 2: Talks from actually being here in Melbourne.

498
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 3: Every day giant person.

499
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 1: You could be like, oh, thank god, it's only just

500
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:22,679
Speaker 1: back to being recognized of being a giant man, not

501
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 1: being a giant man and a sporting star.

502
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:27,000
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, it's true.

503
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:28,640
Speaker 2: That's basic. Yeah, that's true.

504
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 3: I get it.

505
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:30,680
Speaker 2: Everyone still thinks I play basketball though.

506
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 3: It must be nice. You can just you know, blend in.

507
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:35,400
Speaker 2: It's like having two different lives.

508
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:39,520
Speaker 1: Oh, I wouldn't know what that's like. Okay, why AFL

509
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 1: and not drag?

510
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 2: Why I fel not?

511
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:44,240
Speaker 3: I feel like you started in.

512
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 1: The drag you were starting, you know, playing pretending to

513
00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 1: be a Russian woman.

514
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 2: I would be probably the tallest drag queen ever.

515
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:52,840
Speaker 1: I think, well, I have to check that, because I

516
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 1: performed with a drag queen. Her name is Passion Coatur

517
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:57,200
Speaker 1: and she is a tall thing, living, living drag queen

518
00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:00,880
Speaker 1: in the Southern Hemisphere. I don't know, but that's why

519
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:02,919
Speaker 1: I like performing with her, because I look so little.

520
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:05,600
Speaker 1: I'm like, and everyone needs to see me on videos

521
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:06,960
Speaker 1: and things before and with her and in the meet

522
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 1: when they're like, oh, you're a lot bigger than I thought,

523
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 1: I'm like, shut up.

524
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 2: Would you rather be smaller than taller?

525
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:14,879
Speaker 1: It's nice to be a little petite lady, but I

526
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 1: like being like tall when I put my heels on.

527
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 1: I used to wear giant, like, you know, fourteen inch

528
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:21,440
Speaker 1: heels when I first started, because when you work in

529
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 1: a nightclub, you need to be able to see over everyone.

530
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:25,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's my greatest strength.

531
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 3: Was hand like, oh they're over there, Yeah here, we're

532
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:27,800
Speaker 3: doing this.

533
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, this happens with me all the time. I'll go

534
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:31,959
Speaker 2: to a place and people just stand in my circle,

535
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:34,320
Speaker 2: like stand in my like bubble, like real close, and

536
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:35,399
Speaker 2: you're kind of like, hey, can I help you? And

537
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:37,199
Speaker 2: they go, yeah, I'm just looking for my friends. I

538
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 2: told them to go find the tall side the bar,

539
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 2: and I'm standing next to I'm like to shame. That's

540
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:45,159
Speaker 2: actually pretty sure. A landmark. That's it.

541
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 3: A giant man will be by the giant man.

542
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:52,640
Speaker 1: It's three, I am okay. I want you to teach

543
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:54,160
Speaker 1: me a phrase or two to yell at if I'm

544
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 1: in the crowd. Okay, So it sounds like I know

545
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:58,120
Speaker 1: what I'm talking about if I'm at an AFL game

546
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 1: and I'm going to do it. So what do people

547
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 1: don't scream.

548
00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:03,639
Speaker 2: The big thing? People scream at AFL game? Right, So

549
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 2: if an umpire makes a decision and someone gets tackled

550
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:09,200
Speaker 2: and they're not sure if they disposed of the ball properly,

551
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 2: they just scream out ball, right, So like this is

552
00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:13,640
Speaker 2: the thing.

553
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:13,960
Speaker 1: Right.

554
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 2: So it's like there's like someone and you just have

555
00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:23,040
Speaker 2: to go and it echoes across the whole stadium.

556
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:27,200
Speaker 1: All right, all right, so I'm not happy with the ball.

557
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:32,159
Speaker 1: So it's real ball, isn't it a ball? That's what

558
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 1: I normally do. But it's like I'm angry.

559
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:40,280
Speaker 3: Oh damn you, I'm batch.

560
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:47,120
Speaker 2: That was on the money. Oh my god?

561
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 1: Okay, thank well, gone, thank you. It's like it's like,

562
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:01,160
Speaker 1: isn't two.

563
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 3: Men in the trench coat?

564
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:02,199
Speaker 2: No?

565
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:05,919
Speaker 1: He is apparently a well known AFL footballer for Collingwood.

566
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:07,520
Speaker 3: Good for him.

567
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:11,719
