Speaker 2: First step, did you call the police four for the
Speaker 2: for the robbery, the robbery of the Great Robbery Neil
Speaker 2: danaher trophy O mister two time it was.
Speaker 1: It was? I wasn't you happy now I'm kidding Noll.
Speaker 1: All the best to Oliver. He did really well. But
Speaker 1: the guy Josh who actually didn't put me into the votes,
Speaker 1: he I sent him a very stern text message's actually
Speaker 1: a prisoner himselves, like out in the world, did you?
Speaker 1: I made them mind just leave me out of the
Speaker 1: top three, So you know him. I actually called him
Speaker 1: for coffee. So I'm doing some stuff with AFL and
Speaker 1: he's one of those guys that's LinkedIn there. So yeah,
Speaker 1: I gave a stern text message to him that night
Speaker 1: and just gave him a little bit of a lunches
Speaker 1: on you next time.
Speaker 2: Mate, So recap if you if you've been living under
Speaker 2: a rock. Matthew Lloyd, great forward, Esson great, he gave
Speaker 2: you three, Lingy Geelong, great premiership captain. He gave you
Speaker 2: the three and then you're you're traitorous friend.
Speaker 1: We've got the AFL journalist.
Speaker 2: He didn't even give you one. You didn't even make
Speaker 2: He's top three.
Speaker 1: It was very rare.
Speaker 2: It would have been more than a stern message I
Speaker 2: would have been giving him. But great game. I was
Speaker 2: saying they were sliding and you just got them why
Speaker 2: they were down? Tell us about the day, tell us
Speaker 2: about the atmosphere, Neil down to her everything that went
Speaker 2: into raising what two million dollars for M and D.
Speaker 1: At the end of the game it was two point two,
Speaker 1: So two million dollars is just pretty cool and something
Speaker 1: really nice to be able to check it out, man like,
Speaker 1: to be a part of it. It's such an honor,
Speaker 1: such an honor, man like Neil's come to us for
Speaker 1: geez were big free seven or eight I think now,
Speaker 1: so he's done it for a fair amount of time.
Speaker 1: And yeah, he's lost his ability to speak now, so
Speaker 1: his daughter back is now doing it and she's just
Speaker 1: as good as him as far as getting the messages across,
Speaker 1: and just so cool. Well, it's so cool to have
Speaker 1: you know, so many people buying there, sliders, big time
Speaker 1: people at the within the industry or within just kind
Speaker 1: of sports or media, whatever it may be, to slide
Speaker 1: down and help raise money and just do it out
Speaker 1: of the kindness of their heart. It's just a it's
Speaker 1: a feel good day. It's a really feel good day.
Speaker 1: And to have I think it was like seventy seven
Speaker 1: thousand people there support in the cars pretty cool. It's
Speaker 1: pretty It's just like an awesome, like Australian culture thing
Speaker 1: they do here and like I feel like people get
Speaker 1: around the cars. They really do it, and they do
Speaker 1: it strong, you know.
Speaker 2: And it was adopted really quick, so it came in
Speaker 2: and everyone was on board straight away, both clubs, both
Speaker 2: fan bases, and yeah, you just look into the crowd
Speaker 2: and it's just a sea of blue beanies, which is
Speaker 2: which is really awesome. Have you. I think a lot
Speaker 2: of people now they like they want to go down
Speaker 2: the slide. It's like, like, get my name up there,
Speaker 2: I want to go down the slide. In the future.
Speaker 2: You probably can't go down game day.
Speaker 1: Because I would actually you m'd do a pre game
Speaker 1: you go down, no doubt. I'd do an ice boat
Speaker 1: for every game anyway. So I'm kind of like once down.
Speaker 2: Here, yeah, right, do you reckon you fit down the slide?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think so it's a big pool at the end.
Speaker 1: It's a big pool. Like it is. It is quite
Speaker 1: icy and like depending on the timeframe before the game.
Speaker 1: But I always started like such a cool experience, like
Speaker 1: how many people to addressed up like a Halloween outfit
Speaker 1: and just go like sliding down into a mill of
Speaker 1: an ice pocket to essentially help raise money for well
Speaker 1: we called we called als back how ils I spoke
Speaker 1: a challenge but it's M and D here, I think, yeah,
Speaker 1: and I'll do it to a heartbeat.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 1: If Neil, if Neil or his family anyone asked me,
Speaker 1: I'll be I'd raise my hand with a nim finishing
Speaker 1: in the sentence, what.
Speaker 2: Would you go down as?
Speaker 1: That's a good question. Now, I thought maybe like the
Speaker 1: BFG just were like humongous ears or something. You now,
Speaker 1: it's got to be something with being tall. You know
Speaker 1: what it would be. But we'll get on and we'll
Speaker 1: kid move into it. We've got a lot of different stuff. Now.
Speaker 1: I just go back from travel and I love I
Speaker 1: love travel mad because I feel like so many people
Speaker 1: have so many travel stories, you know, and these things
Speaker 1: are always like interesting of how how people handle travel
Speaker 1: because we're always at our worst when we're traveling airports,
Speaker 1: getting their taxis, ubers what it may be. No one's
Speaker 1: dressed up, no one's in a good mood. They just
Speaker 1: want to get from A to B and move on
Speaker 1: with their life and get on their holiday. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: want to ask you, is there been any terrible travel
Speaker 1: stories you've had? Or anything that happens while you're traveling
Speaker 1: that just really upsets you.
Speaker 2: When I travel, most of the time, I travel for work,
Speaker 2: and I do a lot of like broadcast gigs and stuff.
Speaker 2: Early days at the AFL, I used to go like
Speaker 2: into State film something and send it back live for
Speaker 2: the website. And early days the technology, there was this
Speaker 2: live streaming box that you'd plug your camera into and
Speaker 2: it looks suss ass like box. It's a big black
Speaker 2: kind of suitcase looking box with fans on the side
Speaker 2: and like yellow and red wires coming out of wow
Speaker 2: and a screen on the front. It was like Adelaide.
Speaker 2: I was like coming back from a gig and this
Speaker 2: guy's like, what's that. I was like, how do I
Speaker 2: explain this? It's like like, oh, you plug a camera
Speaker 2: into it and it sends vision back to like Victoria
Speaker 2: and it's just like looking at him and he's like
Speaker 2: eyes a glass Like He's like, I got to open
Speaker 2: it up. So I was like, like, just be careful.
Speaker 2: And as soon as did you play round, you don't
Speaker 2: touch the red wie. As soon as I said just
Speaker 2: be careful, he was like be careful?
Speaker 1: Why what? Oh God?
Speaker 2: And I was like nah, nothing, like, just be careful
Speaker 2: opening it because it's got like it's full of wires and stuff.
Speaker 2: He's like, whires, why bro, just you're fine open it.
Speaker 2: Started opening it up and he's like, sir, do not
Speaker 2: touch the briefcase. I was like, this is a thing,
Speaker 2: like am I gonna? I just felt like swat was
Speaker 2: just going to pop out of every corner and yeah,
Speaker 2: I was just like, yeah, I got through. But it
Speaker 2: was like a whole ordeal. He called over some extra people.
Speaker 2: They're like watching me while he was like he's doing this,
Speaker 2: like slightly opens it and he's like peering in. He's
Speaker 2: got his little torch like shining in there. I was like,
Speaker 2: and you can't say.
Speaker 1: This picture with a full bob shuit. Like he's got
Speaker 1: the big face shield, you know. And he's like taking
Speaker 1: step by step approaching this thing, and there's like the
Speaker 1: little robotic like four wheel things.
Speaker 2: Everyone's looking and you can't. You can't use the word bomb.
Speaker 1: You can't.
Speaker 2: You can't say, dude, it's not a bomb. So you're
Speaker 2: like trying to like dance around this like yeah, it's
Speaker 2: it's like, you know, it's just equipment. Every time I
Speaker 2: said a word is like equipment wide. Yeah no, so like, yeah,
Speaker 2: traveling through is like a broadcaster, isn't isn't funny, Like
Speaker 2: it's no being tall, I don't have to get the
Speaker 2: middle seats and stuff. But most of the time all
Speaker 2: of my stuff goes underneath and I got to carry
Speaker 2: on like all this expensive like gear and stuff. But yeah,
Speaker 2: it's not exactly fun I.
Speaker 1: Feel like everyone's got a terrible travel story of just
Speaker 1: like everything goes wrong.
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely everything. It's pretty much every time I travel.
Speaker 2: But really, yeah, what about you.
Speaker 1: I've got a few, man, Like I've I missed a
Speaker 1: flight on Christmas Eve, which is like the busiest day
Speaker 1: of the year, and it was an international flight to
Speaker 1: get back to Australia, and I had to like make
Speaker 1: up this long winded story of like me getting stuck
Speaker 1: in security and couldn't get through, and then like eventually
Speaker 1: the guy gave me a flight which was like an
Speaker 1: hour connection to get onto like the LA Melbourne flight
Speaker 1: and miraculously, And this is just me because sometimes I'm
Speaker 1: not the greatest planner. I usually in those things, but
Speaker 1: whenever they don't work out, like I somehow just maneuver
Speaker 1: my way to make it happen and I got there,
Speaker 1: but I won't talk about I guess like one thing
Speaker 1: and travel that people always ask me like, how do
Speaker 1: you go to the bathroom on planes? On the actual
Speaker 1: on the actual plane, because like me, I don't even
Speaker 1: like I'll get into a plane. It's like a solid
Speaker 1: foot I'm like ducking my head into the actual plane.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's tired for like a guy like me, And
Speaker 2: I'm like, what, like.
Speaker 1: I'm screwed going into a flight. But if I go
Speaker 1: to the bathroom, because like stewardess always ask me this
Speaker 1: and they're like, how did you fit in there? And
Speaker 1: I'm like I'm always kind of anxious to help people.
Speaker 1: I'm yeah, and it's like anything I do has to
Speaker 1: do with bathrooms anyone. Like like I was on a
Speaker 1: flat recently and I was like going into the bathroom
Speaker 1: coming out and goes like, oh, Cox, see, how are
Speaker 1: you going? I was like, just not the time, just
Speaker 1: not the place, just like any other situation in life maybe,
Speaker 1: but just not while I'm just like, you just washed
Speaker 1: your hands and I'm like I don't really want to
Speaker 1: shake your hand, buddy.
Speaker 2: At least it wasn't in the bathroom.
Speaker 1: That's happened before. I've had someone actually try to take
Speaker 1: a photo of me in the bathroom, which is very odd.
Speaker 1: But I'm not going to get into that. Yeah, that thing.
Speaker 1: But whenever going to the bathrooall flights, I actually have
Speaker 1: to sit down like a lady because I can't. My
Speaker 1: head is like hitting the ceiling as soon as you
Speaker 1: walk into the actual thing, and it is the most awkward,
Speaker 1: like trying to hunch to just turbulence happens and just
Speaker 1: you got no chance of making the actual shot. And yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a little thing most people don't know about me
Speaker 1: is yeah, you've got a lady style.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I'm done with that. I was going to
Speaker 2: delve into it a little more, but I think we can.
Speaker 2: We can leave it there.
Speaker 1: We'll move on. I Travel is obviously, like we could
Speaker 1: talk about travel all day. I've traveled to a lot
Speaker 1: of places in the world to you, and you've done
Speaker 1: some pretty amazing stuff. And maybe one day we'll get
Speaker 1: into maybe like a story a week or something like
Speaker 1: that of some some crazy ridiculous story of something we've
Speaker 1: done in a random place. But I've gone into something
Speaker 1: that I'm kind of rehashing. I'm revisiting this because I
Speaker 1: was a big Friends fan whenever I was a young kid. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I feel like, yeah, it's a soul show, you
Speaker 1: know for good. You know Monica? You know Monica?
Speaker 2: No, no one is.
Speaker 1: It's like where people say like Sex and the City.
Speaker 1: It's like are you a Moran dad?
Speaker 2: And it's I think it changes as you mature to.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like I've always been a Joey's.
Speaker 2: Started a Joey when I was a kid, and I'm
Speaker 2: a Ross. You're Ross, yeah, Ross. Now I'll give you
Speaker 2: a Monica Monica. I'm very organized and I'm just like
Speaker 2: a OCD with stuff.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I've really hashed back into that and I
Speaker 1: feel like as a child or like growing up, like
Speaker 1: I didn't quite understand all the jokes, but now rewatching it, man,
Speaker 1: it's ten times funnier. Like I just I just seriously
Speaker 1: I'm pissing myself laughing on like the airplane whenever I
Speaker 1: was like downloaded this stuff and like download them offline
Speaker 1: and I was looking through them and I was like
Speaker 1: actually genuinely laughing out loud next to the lady next
Speaker 1: and she was annoyed, like she was like, you shut up,
Speaker 1: like this is friend. It's friends, dude, Like we've all
Speaker 1: seen it. They've got the like the turkey with the
Speaker 1: glasses and they're like, I don't know.
Speaker 2: How you didn't understand it as a kid, Like the
Speaker 2: jokes aren't that complex.
Speaker 1: I was a very sheltered child. My mother and father
Speaker 1: are quite strict.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Another thing that goes like over my head real
Speaker 2: quick is like the fact I'm older than you and
Speaker 2: I old. Yeah, n nineteen ninety March.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm ninety one March. Yeah, which is two coxes,
Speaker 1: I think.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just like assigned tallness with age or something.
Speaker 1: Doesn't well with me. Fucking one hundred years old?
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: Is any shows your int.
Speaker 2: I just got through so Better Call Sol? Oh yeah,
Speaker 2: I was late on Breaking Bad, real late.
Speaker 1: I'll still lay on it.
Speaker 2: And so I got through that, and I was kind
Speaker 2: of jonesing for some more, so I decided to watch
Speaker 2: Better Call Sol. And now I'm up to date. So
Speaker 2: it's like the last season which we're on now, is
Speaker 2: it into two halves? Yeah, okay, and so I'm up
Speaker 2: to date with the first half and the second half
Speaker 2: comes out in July.
Speaker 1: Give us a sales pitch. Better assole. Why should people
Speaker 1: watch it? What's the best part of it?
Speaker 2: Uh, it's probably just the shenanigans the main character, but
Speaker 2: it's essentially he becomes a lawyer. He used to be
Speaker 2: like a grifter, like he used to like scam people
Speaker 2: and stuff like that. Anyway, then his brother was like
Speaker 2: a well respected lawyer, and so he got into being
Speaker 2: a lawyer, and his brother kind of hated it, resented
Speaker 2: it because he's kind of making a joke, a mockery
Speaker 2: of the profession. But yeah, so it's like his journey
Speaker 2: into becoming a lawyer. But it's a prequel to Breaking Bad. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 2: so if you've seen Breaking Bad, he's one of the
Speaker 2: greats made. Yeah, he's the lawyer that continues on from there.
Speaker 2: This is kind of like learning where he kind of
Speaker 2: came from his origin story his watch. So he's funny,
Speaker 2: but he actually had a stroke during the last season
Speaker 2: real life. Yeah really yeah, in real life. So they
Speaker 2: that's why they've kind of split it into two. And
Speaker 2: the only reason that he is kind of alive is
Speaker 2: because they were shooting this final series and they like
Speaker 2: resussed him on set.
Speaker 1: Wow. Yeah, So essentially like him working in that job
Speaker 1: having people around twenty four to seven saved his life.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well I wonder how much it contributed to him
Speaker 2: having a stroke, but.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know the stress of it. Maybe it was
Speaker 1: the causing factor, but at least they had someone to
Speaker 1: save them. Yeah, one hundred percent a doctor on set.
Speaker 2: Yeah. So yeah, that's what I've been doing. But yeah,
Speaker 2: I did just finish. I'm not a massive NBA fan,
Speaker 2: but I do watch the final series and what you're
Speaker 2: kind of boys will say that your boys, the Celtics
Speaker 2: couldn't get it done, but you tipped against them, a.
Speaker 1: Against it anyway, So I was kind of like I
Speaker 1: told you so, I thought he'd go to seven. I
Speaker 1: really thought he'd go to seven. Yeah, I know. We
Speaker 1: had Pete Ellier on, who's a massive, massive Celtic, massive
Speaker 1: Celtics fan.
Speaker 2: He didn't handle it.
Speaker 1: I can't imagine he's probably coming out of the house
Speaker 1: much this week, but noah, he's there. Was an awesome,
Speaker 1: my kind of series. I think there's a classic like
Speaker 1: experience kind of trumps everything, like Golden State's now won
Speaker 1: their fourth title, I think, I want to say, with
Speaker 1: the Big Three, Yeah.
Speaker 2: And it's hard to hate Curry and Thompson.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I hear what I'm saying. Then't done anything wrong really,
Speaker 1: you know, really or anything like it. Just kind of
Speaker 1: Steve Kerr always on point.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 1: Some of the stuff he said around I guess like
Speaker 1: gun rights and stuff like that, and back in the States.
Speaker 1: He always remember something happens, like he actually is one
Speaker 1: of the people people look to to have an actual
Speaker 1: stay and to like properly address something that's from a
Speaker 1: background of sport. There's so many people that probably have
Speaker 1: the balls and the guts to do that kind of stuff.
Speaker 1: But Steve Kerr is just on point every time he
Speaker 1: has like an actual go at something. It's so cool scene.
Speaker 1: I have like massive respect for him. I've I've been
Speaker 1: through the Golden State Warriors facility gone seeing them train
Speaker 1: stuff behind the scenes. Just really cool and like Steph Curry,
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, man, like you watch him train, You're like, no,
Speaker 1: wonder those guy's a guy like he sat there for
Speaker 1: like thirty minutes after training and he was just sitting
Speaker 1: there with one of the coach who's just like rebound chunks,
Speaker 1: back out, rebound chunks, back out, I do move or
Speaker 1: a step back three pointer, and it was seriously, nine
Speaker 1: out of ten he was making, if not more. It
Speaker 1: was just like it was cool to see. You're, like, man,
Speaker 1: this guy is just so dialed in as like an
Speaker 1: athlete in his sport that it was just it was cool.
Speaker 1: Even if you're not a basketball fan, you'd have been impressed. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's just epic. And Draymond Green was one of those guys.
Speaker 1: He was like another coach, Like he was just sitting
Speaker 1: there like yelling at players, telling get in the positions
Speaker 1: and stuff in the middle train, just playing five y
Speaker 1: five and he just was like next level, just loud, obnoxious,
Speaker 1: like chaotic.
Speaker 2: He brings a bit of flair.
Speaker 1: He's so much.
Speaker 2: He's got his podcast now and yeah it's just pipping
Speaker 2: out so just barely. He's a bit of competition, but yeah,
Speaker 2: he brings a bit of flavor to the to the lineup.
Speaker 1: Yeah, man, And good on they're they're a great career
Speaker 1: and they've done really well and all the credit to him.
Speaker 1: But I want to talk about something else that happened
Speaker 1: recently the soccer US. You're Aussie boys made it into
Speaker 1: the World Cup. Owsy boys come on Wednesday on the
Speaker 1: Citizen So not technically yet, this is recording on him Monday. So, yeah,
Speaker 1: they were made a World Cup and there's something that
Speaker 1: happened in this right, So it went to penalty shoot
Speaker 1: out right really kind of like dramatic ending. And then
Speaker 1: against Peru and there the goalkeeper of Australia, he's absolute
Speaker 1: just ruthless player, like just ruthless what he's done here.
Speaker 1: So Andrew redmains his name. He goes over and like
Speaker 1: the Peruvian goalkeeper, they stand next to each other. He's
Speaker 1: got like a water bottle, right, and the water ball
Speaker 1: is a cheat sheet of all the kickers that come
Speaker 1: up for Australia. Yeah, right, and Andrew decides to go
Speaker 1: and like pick up the water ball and just piff it,
Speaker 1: like just piff it into the stands, like dude just
Speaker 1: throws as hard as he coade to like make sure
Speaker 1: the peruven guy couldn't go back to it and read
Speaker 1: his notes to see like where the players kicked it
Speaker 1: or like what their strategies were whatever. And he said,
Speaker 1: here's a quote, he said, kill or be killed in
Speaker 1: a qualifying cop for the old cop. It was insane,
Speaker 1: allfying World Cup game and just the most savage thing
Speaker 1: I've ever seen from a goalie and like soccer is
Speaker 1: a very tame thing. I feel like, but this guy
Speaker 1: zero f's for the position here and it worked. It
Speaker 1: worked well.
Speaker 2: I think the whole thing from like reading a bit
Speaker 2: about it, is like the whole thing was just like
Speaker 2: mental games from start to finish. Like bringing him on
Speaker 2: late in the game, he's like penalty penalties saving percentage
Speaker 2: actually wasn't that impressive, so it was like more of
Speaker 2: a like a head game, like a mental game, getting
Speaker 2: him in there late, so like the other team thinks like, oh,
Speaker 2: this guy must be pretty good at like saving penalties,
Speaker 2: and then everything like that. He did start to finish,
Speaker 2: so it was like yeah, throwing away the drink bottle,
Speaker 2: moving on the line and dancing Apparently it increases the
Speaker 2: percentage of like a miss. He'd act like a bodyguard
Speaker 2: for the Aussie kickers. So if the prouven trash talk
Speaker 2: goalkeeper would come out and start talking to the kickers,
Speaker 2: he would stand in there and be like, nah, go
Speaker 2: back to the line, go back, stand on your So
Speaker 2: he's like played protector. He gave the kicker the ball
Speaker 2: so they had a familiar face and it was like
Speaker 2: calming for him and stuff. So yeah, there was a
Speaker 2: lot that goes into it, from the men of things,
Speaker 2: from the ethical side of things. I'm not too sure.
Speaker 2: If it wasn't Australia.
Speaker 1: It was and they were doing it to Australia, Australia
Speaker 1: lost and mine, it would have been so beast.
Speaker 2: We would have been going nuts. And like there was
Speaker 2: a lot of Peru supporters in the crowd and oh no,
Speaker 2: and yeah, it was a mixture of like booing and silence,
Speaker 2: you know, like.
Speaker 1: The confusion shock. I loved his celebration though, like he said,
Speaker 1: the last one just kind of like was like, oh ysh,
Speaker 1: I just did that. He's just just like standing there
Speaker 1: and his whole team just like swarmed him. It was
Speaker 1: so good. He's got the beard, he's got the intimidating beard.
Speaker 1: I don't got the look. He's got the look definitely
Speaker 1: in the match, what he did over the over the week.
Speaker 2: But the.
Speaker 1: Great wheel, that's a great one for it. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's pretty cool. It's pretty cool. It's the Ausralian in
Speaker 1: the World Cup. We'll move on to the next one.
Speaker 1: Simple Pleasures in Life Now, this is a great segment.
Speaker 1: We love doing here because we're all about positivity and
Speaker 1: what gets us going every single day. It's like a
Speaker 1: little you know, thing that really just makes your day.
Speaker 1: Will it be just, I don't know, something simple, something
Speaker 1: simple that's just like you know what. I've started off
Speaker 1: on the right foot today.
Speaker 2: My simple pleasure last week copped a bit of flak.
Speaker 2: I said, put your jocks, this is so weird, put
Speaker 2: your jocks in the dryer just before you have a shower,
Speaker 2: and people got on my back for killing the planet.
Speaker 2: So it's not very environmentally friendly. It's five minutes in
Speaker 2: the dryer, but yeah, I'll give it, give it to you.
Speaker 2: Not very environmentally friendly. So I've scrapped my simple pleasure
Speaker 2: on a Monday.
Speaker 1: Look, you can't get worse than last couple of weeks
Speaker 1: this week.
Speaker 2: So this one is I can't offend anyone at this one.
Speaker 2: This is so walking down the street, walking up to
Speaker 2: a set of traffic lights. As soon as you hit
Speaker 2: the crosswalk button, little green man goes and you just
Speaker 2: keep walking. You don't even break stride. And like every
Speaker 2: time I do it, in my head, you know that
Speaker 2: song I've got the mardest touch. Everything I touch turns
Speaker 2: to go. That's me in my head, because I might
Speaker 2: as touched.
Speaker 1: It's actually an interesting thing I've learned the other day.
Speaker 1: You know Billie Eilish's song bad Guy. I don't know
Speaker 1: if you know this, but she was in Melbourne one year.
Speaker 1: This is a crazy fun fact, right, a little hot
Speaker 1: take for you, and she heard the crosswalk like do
Speaker 1: do do do do do do thing, you know, and
Speaker 1: she put it into the background of bad Guy. So
Speaker 1: if you listen to the song, if you listen to
Speaker 1: the next song, right, like, listen for a crosswalk like
Speaker 1: the do do do Do do do doo thing whenever
Speaker 1: you like walk across to help blind people go across.
Speaker 1: It's actually in the song from the background in the background. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's as it was on Jimmy Fallon whole thing man,
Speaker 1: Like I would and researched it and I was like, ah,
Speaker 1: this is actually true.
Speaker 2: Go to Melbourne. What's your simple pleasure?
Speaker 1: My simple pleasure?
Speaker 2: Man?
Speaker 1: Like, I don't know, Like this is kind of I
Speaker 1: feel like everyone's like this, right, And I had this
Speaker 1: whenever I was on holiday. It's like, you know the
Speaker 1: showers that are like a waterfall shower and then like
Speaker 1: it's got good pressure and it's like that perfect temperature.
Speaker 1: It's not like either hot or cold. It actually gets
Speaker 1: to the right temperature. Yeah, because I feel most most
Speaker 1: showers it's like either it's scolding hot, yeah, freezing cold, or.
Speaker 2: They like shoot out pin needles. Yeah, they're like like
Speaker 2: it like peels the skin off your back.
Speaker 1: You're like, that's my simple pleasurement. I want to get
Speaker 1: one of those, Like, I think that would that's the
Speaker 1: best start of my day all over.
Speaker 2: It's so much harder to find when you're on the road,
Speaker 2: like if you're in a hotel or whatever. And then
Speaker 2: they've always got some bullshit, like they'll leave a note
Speaker 2: going like we're trying to say this isn't me hating
Speaker 2: on the environment again, I just have a very good
Speaker 2: track record in my disclaimer. I love the environment. So
Speaker 2: but they always have a note that's like, yeah, for
Speaker 2: environmental reasons, we've got this really shit like head on them.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, and it's like, no, you're doing it to
Speaker 2: save money. Don't like trick people.
Speaker 1: Every time I take a shower, right like in a hotel,
Speaker 1: and next time we travel, I'll take a photo for
Speaker 1: everyone out there. I can guarantee you the shower head's
Speaker 1: going to be up to my nipples and it's like
Speaker 1: it's literally in my head like you got to take
Speaker 1: it off the shower thing, like, yeah, what happens if you.
Speaker 2: Can't watch your tactic? Do you just sit down in
Speaker 2: the show? I do that, but I just don't.
Speaker 1: I'm like, I just might as well take a bath here.
Speaker 1: Yeah like that, but now it's I think in Perth.
Speaker 1: I went to one and legit and not kidding. It
Speaker 1: was below my nipples like the highest it would go
Speaker 1: as a shower, and then I had to like duck
Speaker 1: to get in and it was literally like the ceiling
Speaker 1: was here, so you can imagine the just spray that's
Speaker 1: coming off onto the ceiling and yeah, let's just say
Speaker 1: it was. It was a very wet bathroom by the
Speaker 1: time I finished that shower.
Speaker 2: Well, we had some fan simple pleasures. I guess we
Speaker 2: like to get everyone's feedback for this podcast. This is
Speaker 2: what it's all about. So we had from Trav he
Speaker 2: likes to eat a lukewarm pie at the footy and
Speaker 2: wash it down with an ice cold mid strength, so that.
Speaker 1: Lukewarm pie, yeah, I'm a fan of the hot pie
Speaker 1: and then getting it like that cold catch up or
Speaker 1: tomato sausage. I'll call it here. Putting on there, that's
Speaker 1: that's where it's out for me. But lukewarm is a
Speaker 1: bit questionable for me.
Speaker 2: Well, I think it's either that or it's like scolding hot.
Speaker 2: So I think that's what he's saying. It's just like
Speaker 2: not a scolding hot pie. Yeah, okay, and an ice
Speaker 2: cold beer.
Speaker 1: My first ever experience with the meat pie. Man, I am.
Speaker 1: I thought this story was a bit of a side
Speaker 1: store here. My brother and I came here. Wrong. We're
Speaker 1: in Geelong and it's like a seven fifty game, right,
Speaker 1: and they're playing North Melbourne and I've never seen footy
Speaker 1: before over live. I had no idea, Like I was
Speaker 1: asking him, like how many points is it? Through the
Speaker 1: big sticks and stuff and all that, you know, and
Speaker 1: this guy, because oh we have to give the Ozzy experience,
Speaker 1: we have to give you a meat pie. I said, Okay,
Speaker 1: I don't know what that is, you know, not realizing
Speaker 1: that meat pie four and twenty is essentially and you
Speaker 1: know we love a four and twenty on the pie,
Speaker 1: but it is essentially questionable meat trapped into like a pastry.
Speaker 1: And I went down went down to like the place
Speaker 1: and we ordered them and my brother was with me
Speaker 1: now and we go down to the rooms and then
Speaker 1: like we get the little the packets, which we thought
Speaker 1: were really weird because we had the little satchels. But
Speaker 1: y'all have like the packets you squeezed back to back
Speaker 1: and then it like yeah, spits open like such a classic,
Speaker 1: such a like no one else in the world does that.
Speaker 2: It's flawless, though, like it does work a lot better.
Speaker 1: I will say that I'm a fan of it, but
Speaker 1: there's still always a little bit in there that's leftover.
Speaker 1: You never get out this. There's a bit of waste
Speaker 1: to it. And we're all about the environment on the pod.
Speaker 1: So but now and then we get into the rooms
Speaker 1: and we're sitting there. It's like this big circle and
Speaker 1: there's like ten people there and they're asking me these
Speaker 1: questions about you know, the us and coming over here,
Speaker 1: and if I'm interested, it blah, well, like I'll try
Speaker 1: to meet Bye, you know, like you got to become
Speaker 1: a true hossy, so like, okay, so I'll try to
Speaker 1: meet Bye. And it's like cold, like it's like the
Speaker 1: meat was like like almost like crystallized cold. And I
Speaker 1: was like I didn't want to be rude though, so
Speaker 1: I had to like go on those m this is
Speaker 1: so good. Oh it is delicious, And I was like,
Speaker 1: any chance we got three more ketchup packets? Doustlessly a
Speaker 1: ketchup so.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we got a couple more. We'll get through this
Speaker 2: smash this so fresh sheets on the bed, huge fan
Speaker 2: of that.
Speaker 1: Really struggle getting the corners on.
Speaker 2: But yes, having the temperature of volume in your car
Speaker 2: on an even number that's from Yes, everything's evens with me. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's a weird channel.
Speaker 1: Volume channel, for sure, I have to have that on even.
Speaker 2: This is a simple pleasure. It's a bit of a tip.
Speaker 2: So set your alarm thirty minutes before you meant to
Speaker 2: get up and then just enjoy thirty minutes of bliss
Speaker 2: in bed.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Alicus will sent that through and that's not going
Speaker 1: to happen.
Speaker 2: Mate.
Speaker 1: I love my sleep, so thanks for the tip. But
Speaker 1: in my life, thirty minutes of just doing nothing in
Speaker 1: the morning is better spent sleeping.
Speaker 2: I like this one. When a song ends as you
Speaker 2: just pull up in the driveway.
Speaker 1: That is a very good simple pleasure.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is what I should do. This is a
Speaker 2: replacement for me, put your pajamas or jocks on the
Speaker 2: fire screen so they're warm when you put them on.
Speaker 2: So a fire screen, so it's like the screen that
Speaker 2: goes around your fireplace. So you could put them in
Speaker 2: front of the heater which is already on to heat
Speaker 2: the house. Just like thinking about those environmentally friendly things.
Speaker 1: I want that.
Speaker 2: Getting a seat near the train door and it comes
Speaker 2: with a bit of a higher backrist' that's.
Speaker 1: Isn't that reserved for like disabled people?
Speaker 2: Women? This is like you read the floor, you know,
Speaker 2: kick someone out of the seat and give it up
Speaker 2: if like an old lady or a pregnant woman gets on.
Speaker 1: He imagine pregnant lady comes on here. This is my
Speaker 1: simple pleasure. I got what We go to another segment now,
Speaker 1: This next segment we've had before. It's called awkward moments.
Speaker 2: I just rolled myself under the bus last week, and
Speaker 2: you will you gave some watered down like awkward mound.
Speaker 1: Yeah are you yelling out? And then actually playing it
Speaker 1: off as if she had just driven by the window.
Speaker 2: Yeah no, no, you start us off this week.
Speaker 1: I thought this happened actually the other day I was
Speaker 1: on the plane right and like maybe these people are
Speaker 1: gonna listen to this podcast hopefully. But so this is
Speaker 1: a personal this is the personal story. Like yesterday, this
Speaker 1: happened when I came back from the Goldie and I
Speaker 1: turned around. My god son, who is three years old, right,
Speaker 1: he was on the plane. He was maybe like five
Speaker 1: rows back and he was on the other aisle, and
Speaker 1: he got up and he was Mason. He's waving to me,
Speaker 1: you know, and I was like, oh, just wave back.
Speaker 1: I didn't wro There's like three rows in front of him.
Speaker 1: There's like this whole family, and this guy was like coxy,
Speaker 1: hey man, Oh, it's so great to meet you. How
Speaker 1: you feeling. He's like, whole family's waving in me. I'm confused, Like, oh, dude, bro,
Speaker 1: I was not waving to you. But you had to
Speaker 1: play it off and not be an ass. So I
Speaker 1: was like, oh, so good to meet you guy, Like,
Speaker 1: so you wave first, just out of nowhere. Just thought
Speaker 1: I just did a blank just like hi, you know,
Speaker 1: I'd headphones in everything, and just like thought I wanted
Speaker 1: to interact with people on the plane randomly by waving
Speaker 1: to him aimlessly in his direction.
Speaker 2: So his version of the story is gonna be.
Speaker 1: Like Coxy is a big fan of me. It's weirdo.
Speaker 2: He's just waving at me on the plane that I
Speaker 2: noticed it was Mason Cox. He must be desperate as friend.
Speaker 1: Something a loser. Well, I had it, so I had
Speaker 1: to play it off, right, So I was like a kid,
Speaker 1: just like, obviously make these people hay, I guess by
Speaker 1: waving in and awkwardly having that oh yeah, there you
Speaker 1: going chat like. They had to walk back and be like, oh,
Speaker 1: I send my god son's name, and I was like,
Speaker 1: how you doing? And then I think the whole family
Speaker 1: looked back and was like, in realization, goes, that wasn't
Speaker 1: for us. Yeah, it was a bit awkward getting off
Speaker 1: that plane. But yeah, so I.
Speaker 2: Got a coffee. This is my one. I got a
Speaker 2: coffee before the podcast. Now standing there holding my coffee,
Speaker 2: texting you actually because you were late, but that's fine
Speaker 2: and subtle. And it's across the road from Coles. So
Speaker 2: this lady is pushing her trolley to her car h
Speaker 2: and then as she's popping the boot, her trolley falls
Speaker 2: off the gutter and a whole like a bag of
Speaker 2: shopping falls out of it. Shopping car.
Speaker 1: You just walked away and.
Speaker 2: Half of the stuff fell down like the gutter, like
Speaker 2: into the train.
Speaker 1: Oh no, was she elderly? She was older, she's old enough.
Speaker 1: You had to help. Yeah he didn't. Did you walked off?
Speaker 2: I was like, well, I got stuff to do, so
Speaker 2: I was like, no way. So I was like it's
Speaker 2: actually I was like, okay, maybe I can just take
Speaker 2: off because she hasn't seen me, and so she's like
Speaker 2: just she's juggling the trolley and the boot is like
Speaker 2: flapping going up and down. I was just starting to
Speaker 2: walk off and she locked eyes with me.
Speaker 1: Oh no, I.
Speaker 2: Was like ship like I'm in this.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're committed.
Speaker 2: But like so I was like, well, she's already half
Speaker 2: picking up stuff. So like I slowly mosey on over there,
Speaker 2: and like by the time I get there, I just
Speaker 2: get to do the like you're right.
Speaker 1: She's like yeah yeah.
Speaker 2: I was like yep, good all right, And then I
Speaker 2: just had to come and record the podcast.
Speaker 1: So well, at was like.
Speaker 2: Fishing stuff out of the drain because we got nothing
Speaker 2: to do with our day. I got stuff to do.
Speaker 1: What did she she you go, you are right, and
Speaker 1: she goes, no, help me, all right, enjoy your day.
Speaker 2: Good one. All right, see other worries.
Speaker 1: Is this your local calls? You're going to see this
Speaker 1: like she's literally just read she's going to see you again.
Speaker 1: She's going to drop something purposely next time.
Speaker 2: It's on her. Come lady, we're on the clock. Here,
Speaker 2: we're on the clock.
Speaker 1: I got things.
Speaker 2: So yeah, that's it. That's my awkward moment.
Speaker 1: We'll go to the fans awkward moment. And this is
Speaker 1: from Bow Now I'm sorry, Sally. This is from Sal
Speaker 1: says when you say hi, good thanks, when the other
Speaker 1: person just said hi, not how are you? That's that's for.
Speaker 1: And this is this is similar to an experience I
Speaker 1: always do. It's like I don't know if you do
Speaker 1: this and talk about like going to like a supermarket
Speaker 1: where you say says seven pm a knight you know
Speaker 1: you're getting groceres for dinner whatever it's six or whatever,
Speaker 1: and they go have a great day and go, oh, yep,
Speaker 1: you too. It's like they're working. Yeah, they're not going
Speaker 1: to have a great day. You're just being an.
Speaker 2: Ass and it's not time you tell them to have
Speaker 2: a good day.
Speaker 1: It's like the matrix, just like somehow to blip. I
Speaker 1: don't know what's going on. You just walk off and
Speaker 1: you're like, yeah, I'm sure it's probably the time it's happened.
Speaker 2: To it to that texting the wrong person by mistake,
Speaker 2: that's just it's the worst feeling. That's just bury me now,
Speaker 2: Like we've all done it.
Speaker 1: It's the worst we've probably done one that's like it
Speaker 1: was have you ever done this where you you're thinking
Speaker 1: of someone, you're texting someone because you're sticking on them,
Speaker 1: and then you actually actually the only text the person
Speaker 1: you're thinking.
Speaker 2: Of, this person you're about to talk shit about them.
Speaker 2: You send it straight to the only way I reckon
Speaker 2: the only way out of that. You've got to assess
Speaker 2: the text, obviously, but likes to a solution to that,
Speaker 2: you've got to double down.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 2: They like send back the inevitable replies like was this
Speaker 2: meant for me? And you go like, yeah, it's meant
Speaker 2: for you, Like I'm sick of as ship.
Speaker 1: Wow, you double down?
Speaker 2: You got to double down?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I crawl into my whole and delete the number.
Speaker 1: When anymore, that's like, that's the best way to handle
Speaker 1: a situation.
Speaker 2: That's actually why you moved to Australia.
Speaker 1: There's plenty more of reasons I moved to Australia. Believe me,
Speaker 1: in my past life. I'm glad no one knows about it.
Speaker 1: We'll move to the next topic, controversial take. We've got
Speaker 1: a lot to cover here and we're taking on top
Speaker 1: of a controversial take. I'll start this one off now.
Speaker 1: It is winter here in Melbourne and I'm starting to
Speaker 1: see these right in their north face, their katman do
Speaker 1: their Patagonias and it's the puffer vest.
Speaker 2: I'm the only one in Melbourne that doesn't have one.
Speaker 1: I don't have one either, and they're the most ridiculous things.
Speaker 2: You don't have one for a reason.
Speaker 1: It's nothing fits me obviously, But like choose jacket or
Speaker 1: no jacket.
Speaker 2: So you're okay with the jacket, just not the vest.
Speaker 1: The sleeveless like jacket is what it is. Is what
Speaker 1: a vest is. It's a sleeveless jacket, yeah, which you
Speaker 1: wear sleeveless items or whatever it's hot, whenever it's cold.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Because I thought you had an issue with the
Speaker 2: jacket and I was like, the jacket makes sense. The vest,
Speaker 2: on the other hand, it's like it's like wearing a
Speaker 2: jumper in shorts.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well yeah, I do that the vest not cool
Speaker 1: with the vest. I just don't understand. It's like I
Speaker 1: find that I've recently learned this because I'm not a
Speaker 1: big man of the vest, but I've recently figured out,
Speaker 1: like there's statuses of vests. There's like your higher end,
Speaker 1: your patagonias and your north faces young then as you're
Speaker 1: your lower ends, which we won't say because we want
Speaker 1: sponsors on this show. And it's a status symbol here,
Speaker 1: especially if anybody you're out in the Melbourne, it's a
Speaker 1: it's a status.
Speaker 2: It's like four hundred bucks.
Speaker 1: It's ridiculous. What kind of duck feathers you got in there?
Speaker 1: Bro in danger?
Speaker 2: This one it's more of a it's probably a hot
Speaker 2: take because it just annoys me. But have a plan
Speaker 2: when you go into a takeaway shop and you order
Speaker 2: takeaway food, so have a plan. So when I go
Speaker 2: to Grilled, I march up with purpose and I say
Speaker 2: can I get a sweet chili chicken burger on traditional
Speaker 2: with the regular chips and a tomato ralish for the dip.
Speaker 2: It doesn't change why once you know what your order
Speaker 2: is at Grilled, Yeah, you're going with that. You're not
Speaker 2: experimenting every now and then but people get up to
Speaker 2: the front and they're like, let me have a look
Speaker 2: at the menu. Yeah, maybe I get the chicken. It's like,
Speaker 2: have a plan subway. I get a foot long meatball
Speaker 2: sub everything on it.
Speaker 1: I can't believe you're still getting subway. Yeah, a huge
Speaker 1: trans of sway if you want to spots to the podloss.
Speaker 2: This one did my head in though, Like Yochi, you
Speaker 2: get the frozen yogurt Yochi. I love Yochi, So but
Speaker 2: I know what I get. Yeah, so I get salted
Speaker 2: caramel yogurt, and then I chuck a few nuts on there.
Speaker 2: I go like a KitKat, a little chocolate covered pringle thing,
Speaker 2: pretzel thing, white chocolate on top. Done, I'm out. I'm
Speaker 2: in and out. If no one's in my way, it's
Speaker 2: like thirty seconds.
Speaker 1: You shove the little children out of the way.
Speaker 2: You're just like I got stuck behind Like this thirty
Speaker 2: to forty year old man. He's in that range. And
Speaker 2: by the time you get to that age, you know
Speaker 2: what you like, you know, like, so he's standing in line,
Speaker 2: he's in front of me. One he turns to his
Speaker 2: partner and says, do I like almonds?
Speaker 1: What do you mean do you like almonds? Do I
Speaker 1: have a nut allergy?
Speaker 2: It's like two things to it. It's like, mate, you
Speaker 2: should know by now if you like or you don't
Speaker 2: like bloody alments. And then two if you put them on,
Speaker 2: and then you're like, I shouldn't have put almonds on.
Speaker 2: Life goes on and you can go back to Yochi
Speaker 2: again and not get armends.
Speaker 1: Move on.
Speaker 2: I just it's like that's their last meal for life.
Speaker 2: It's like if they have almonds on and it tastes
Speaker 2: like shit, they're just going to give up. It's like, mate,
Speaker 2: you should know what you should enjoy. You should know
Speaker 2: what you like by then. So that's my thing. Have
Speaker 2: a plan.
Speaker 1: If it's a commonplace everyone goes, so you need to
Speaker 1: have an idea what your order is going to be.
Speaker 2: All right, let's bust through some of these hot takes.
Speaker 2: This one's from Puck to Stock. Luke Jackson will become
Speaker 2: the highest paid player in the league one day. Fair.
Speaker 2: I mean that's fair, Luke Jackson. Oh my god, don't.
Speaker 2: This one's from No I'm not even going to answer.
Speaker 2: That should cut it out. So this one's This one's
Speaker 2: from Brad Sweet potato is better than regular potato.
Speaker 1: That's a very good and it's healthier for you, apparently.
Speaker 2: Knocking these out huge. No one from Will Will's answered
Speaker 2: all three and he's like on the money each time.
Speaker 2: Sweet breakfasts are awful, like pancakes ice cream and pancakes waffles.
Speaker 2: Because no, I haven't because it sounds ludicrous. I know.
Speaker 1: I do it on cereal at night though, big f
Speaker 1: I don't feel like that at nights, kid, So it's
Speaker 1: a sweet cereal. It's like a deserve.
Speaker 2: This one's from a rush. I'm going to say. Tomato
Speaker 2: doesn't belong on a tomato doesn't belong on a burger.
Speaker 1: Ah question, it's free, right, but you do an apple
Speaker 1: doesn't belong on you.
Speaker 2: Do can We're not getting into pineapple. We'll get cancer.
Speaker 2: The Oscar yellow footies are better than red footies.
Speaker 1: You know what yellowoot me? You're playing in prime time,
Speaker 1: the Big the Big Show. You're in the Big Show
Speaker 1: that you're going.
Speaker 2: To say because you can see him, Julia, white chocolate's
Speaker 2: are overrated. Well, Julia, you can go straight to hell.
Speaker 1: Julia, I dollar dam I do. I will say this.
Speaker 1: White chocolate is not the first go to I'll say,
Speaker 1: shut up, Okay, you get a Cadberry's what do you do? You?
Speaker 1: Does cawbgories even have white chocolate? Don't even think that's dream? Yeah,
Speaker 1: but it's it's dream mixed in with something else. I
Speaker 1: don't even know. It's just like white chocolate for Cadberry.
Speaker 1: Are there comparatively to like all the others they want
Speaker 1: to be on It'd be like a five percent max.
Speaker 2: One and done. You got the dream. It's just plain
Speaker 2: white chocolate marbles with the rest of the chocolate. They
Speaker 2: got to like put crap in it to try and
Speaker 2: make it seem more interesting, like fruit and no, and like,
Speaker 2: what's your go to cadberry?
Speaker 1: Everyone?
Speaker 2: Actually probably fruit? No fruit. As I got older, I
Speaker 2: turned fruit in that. Yeah, I didn't like it. As
Speaker 2: a kid, My NaN's tactic was get the shiptest chocolate
Speaker 2: possible so the kids don't. So she'd get the darkest
Speaker 2: chocolate that you can get. You know how it's got
Speaker 2: the percentages. She'd be like, it's like eating it straight
Speaker 2: off the cocoa leaf.
Speaker 1: Oh, that's so good. My grandmother always had candy. That's
Speaker 1: why she was like, just we just love the hell
Speaker 1: out he She's always just like ls and just get

Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't like natel on bread. I find that weird.
Speaker 1: I find that like texture is weird. Yeah, and it's
Speaker 1: it just is not right. I think if bread is
Speaker 1: not a sweet thing, I would put something on bread.
Speaker 1: And then you tell me utter and hundreds and thousands
Speaker 1: is what you feed kids in this country. And I
Speaker 1: really question everything about Australia.

Speaker 2: full of ironic tragedy. You see, Ordra was raised by
Speaker 2: a loving family, but unfortunately her Audra's entire family was

Speaker 1: This if no one understands what sims are. This is
Speaker 1: like a digital thing, This is not actual human being.

Speaker 2: these people they scuba dive down and just pick up
Speaker 2: the lobsters on the seafloor. Then he was swimming around
Speaker 2: doing his job and all of a sudden it went
Speaker 2: black and he thought he'd been eaten by a great
Speaker 2: white shark. But it turns out he was eaten by
Speaker 2: a whale and realized though, realized that he was in
Speaker 2: its mouth, and so he was in there for like
Speaker 2: a while to until he started struggling, realized that the
Speaker 2: whale didn't enjoy it and spat him out. But the
Speaker 2: same guy had ten years earlier, he survived a plane
Speaker 2: crash which is also like and he was in the
Speaker 2: in Costa Rican jungle for two days and they said
Speaker 2: if one more day, he would have died. So this
Speaker 2: guy needs by a lottery ticket. Yeah. And lastly headline
Speaker 2: Australian man uses fork lift to prevent thief from stealing
Speaker 2: his car.
Speaker 1: Did he lift the cora up?
Speaker 2: So this was he was coming home and there was
Speaker 2: a twenty four year old woman that broke into his house,
Speaker 2: had a shower and then was trying to steal his car.
Speaker 1: They broke into the house to have a shower yep.
Speaker 2: Have a wash, and tried to steal his car. As
Speaker 2: he pulled in the driveway, he said, you've got to
Speaker 2: get out. She wasn't budging. So he was a mechanic
Speaker 2: worked on cars, and.
Speaker 1: He happened to have a forklift around.
Speaker 2: Thinking on his feet, jumped in his forklift and lifted
Speaker 2: the car off the ground so she couldn't jump out,
Speaker 2: so she was trapped in there.
Speaker 1: But she was in the car.
Speaker 2: She was trapped in the car.
Speaker 1: Wow.

Speaker 2: lower it down, lowers it down, and yeah, opened the
Speaker 2: door and their shoes inside. She gets arrested and clean theft.
Speaker 1: And burglary between the horse and buggy and someone arresting
Speaker 1: someone off a fork left. It's been a great day
Speaker 1: for the cops. A big fan of them and some
Speaker 1: of the stories that come out of it, no doubt, but.
Speaker 2: They see some shit.
Speaker 1: God bless her over the cop. I don't know how
Speaker 1: you could do it, patience, no doubt.
Speaker 2: Let's jump into our favorite segment, the listener questions all
Speaker 2: about it. This is basically direct to you and makes everyone.
Speaker 1: By the way for jumping on and helping out with
Speaker 1: all the answers and stuff for these questions.
Speaker 2: And they asked some really good stuff. I mean, I'm
Speaker 2: not surprised, but there's some great questions in here. This
Speaker 2: one's back from doctor Stuck. What's the best fan interaction
Speaker 2: you've ever had? Good to all funny, there's a few that.
Speaker 1: Come to mind.
Speaker 2: Imagine you've had a lot of a lot, a lot.
Speaker 1: But I always tell us because people always ask like,
Speaker 1: what's the weirdest thing you've ever signed? And I'll never
Speaker 1: forget whenever I was in I was playing VFL my
Speaker 1: first year, and like in the VFL there's not really security,
Speaker 1: Like we're playing thig Park and go into the rooms, right,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, I'm still new to this whole afling.
Speaker 1: Like I remember that first game. I was like freaking out.
Speaker 1: Whenever people came on to the actual game, like onto
Speaker 1: the field quarter time, I was like, yo, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Speaker 1: I was, I don't know you manly, I was like
Speaker 1: security security first of me though, and I was like serious,
Speaker 1: I was like, that was a bit shocked. I didn't
Speaker 1: know what to expect. Don't do much research before I
Speaker 1: kind of played, but I thought maybe if someone's got
Speaker 1: to bet on you know, let's say you've kick four goals,
Speaker 1: someone's gotta bet you you know you don't kick more
Speaker 1: than four goals. And then like I'm just a little
Speaker 1: kick in the leg or something like that. Make sure
Speaker 1: you don't get on the last quarter. But the weirdest
Speaker 1: remember a sign there was some lady who was let's
Speaker 1: just say she had probably ingested something and she had
Speaker 1: somehow made it down to the rooms and like we're
Speaker 1: all like in the changes we're like some of the
Speaker 1: boys are naked, you know, like try to getting.
Speaker 2: Change it in the room.
Speaker 1: He wanders into the room and she's like just she's off, man,
Speaker 1: She's like she's in a different world, right, and she's
Speaker 1: got a sharp you. I don't know how she got
Speaker 1: sharply because I don't know, but she wonders and then
Speaker 1: she's got a ziplock bag, and I was like, it's
Speaker 1: so weird. And she starts asking all the boys whether
Speaker 1: they're dressed or not, to sign the ziplock bag. And
Speaker 1: I was like, what you And she was like we
Speaker 1: all knew something was and we had to like kind
Speaker 1: of like try to find a way to kind of
Speaker 1: like escort out the place to go get like someone
Speaker 1: else whos volunteer to like help her like get out.
Speaker 1: And she was just like gone from calling like Josevic Park.
Speaker 1: That was one of the first in the bag. It
Speaker 1: was just a blank ziplock bag, just like empty, and
Speaker 1: it was like it was like this, it was like small.
Speaker 1: It was one of the small ones too, So there's
Speaker 1: no chance you get more than like three signatures on
Speaker 1: the thing. Yeah, of course, so whoever has that ziplock
Speaker 1: bag great to eBay.
Speaker 2: So this one, this one's we had a lot of
Speaker 2: comments about your hybrid accent, and I was, I don't
Speaker 2: notice it.
Speaker 1: We've been made for long enough. I think you probably
Speaker 1: don't hear it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't hear it at all, But like it was,
Speaker 2: there was a lot of comments about it. So cousin Meg,
Speaker 2: that's the name. She wants to know what is What
Speaker 2: does your family and friends think of it? Are they
Speaker 2: in the same boat as me?
Speaker 1: Nah? So family somewhat. But then whenever I come back
Speaker 1: to America, everyone always says, you have an Aussie accent. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And then because I do, I can hear it because
Speaker 1: of the way inflection and stuff. Whenever I come here,
Speaker 1: people like, probably have a bit of an American twang
Speaker 1: and you said, ain't and yaller once in a while.
Speaker 1: But I go back to America and then I start
Speaker 1: talking really thick Texas accent. You know that? Do it?
Speaker 2: Because I'm not going to go there as I'm like,
Speaker 2: if I went to America and it's like girls like
Speaker 2: the Australian.
Speaker 1: Oh you play you do?
Speaker 2: You?
Speaker 1: Butter that thing on?
Speaker 2: Sick? Get out?
Speaker 1: What went on?
Speaker 2: That just carved it out of a tree?
Speaker 1: You ever ridden the Kangaroo. Yeah, I mean in a
Speaker 1: different country, whether I'm here. If I'm here and i'm
Speaker 1: I'm out on the town, right, I put a thick
Speaker 1: American accent on it. If I'm in America, or you
Speaker 1: best believe I'm full blown Aussie might really no get
Speaker 1: away with it, Like Australians are not really like an
Speaker 1: everyday thing you hear in America, so people are like,
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, you must be a surfer dude, and
Speaker 1: there's this whole thing you go down, but like it
Speaker 1: works well, it works well. I do have a hybrid accent,
Speaker 1: and there's a bit of here and there and everywhere
Speaker 1: in between. But I do call quite a bit of crop.
Speaker 1: And we go back to the States, no doubt.
Speaker 2: This one is probably one of my favorites. Were you
Speaker 2: part of a fraternity in college and do you have
Speaker 2: any hazing stories? That's from Brad laugh.
Speaker 1: I was not part of an eternity. I didn't. I
Speaker 1: was involved in the whole hazing thing, but I was
Speaker 1: kind of an honorary member. And I won't go too
Speaker 1: much into my college stories because I might not be
Speaker 1: playing AFL much longer if we go too deep into it.
Speaker 1: But I had some good times in college. There's no
Speaker 1: doubt had some real good times. I looked a lot different,
Speaker 1: So if anyone sees a photo of me, they're probably
Speaker 1: not going to recognize me.
Speaker 2: But it wasn't me.
Speaker 1: It wasn't me a different guy six or ten, different
Speaker 1: guy six or eleven. But no, I didn't. I was
Speaker 1: in a fraternity. I wasn't infraternity, but I was like
Speaker 1: kind of part of one of our neighbors. Their party
Speaker 1: house was next to us, and like we all had
Speaker 1: a party house and stuff, and I was an honorary member,
Speaker 1: so we used to have all their as one of
Speaker 1: their hazing things. Right, So after they have a party,
Speaker 1: they'd have their pledges, who were the first years into
Speaker 1: the fraternity, to clean up the house the next morning.
Speaker 1: And I was so close to these guys and em
Speaker 1: we threw a party at our house, their pledges would
Speaker 1: come and clean our house. So like we throw a
Speaker 1: party on we get up at like nine hours and
Speaker 1: we're all hungover and stuff, and the next thing you
Speaker 1: know is like a bunch of like eighteen year olds
Speaker 1: are like rolling through like picking up red solo cops
Speaker 1: and like cleaning the floors and everything else, and you're going,
Speaker 1: who are you And he's like, oh, Fred told me
Speaker 1: to come over clean up. Its great.
Speaker 2: We never had to clean our house, but I would
Speaker 2: imagine it.
Speaker 1: It was awesome. Man. I did the whole for eternity
Speaker 1: parties and sorority parties and all kind of you. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I essentially got the best of both worlds. But like
Speaker 1: and being like playing basketball stuff in there, it was
Speaker 1: quite hard to kind of live both those lines. There's
Speaker 1: so much like you kind of have to do and
Speaker 1: you have to live sometimes in the fraternity house, and
Speaker 1: there's a bit to it. But yeah, maybe one day
Speaker 1: we'll maybe do like a little college story per episode.
Speaker 1: There's a lot out there.
Speaker 2: It's gonna be a real, real Golden Ones but story
Speaker 2: is the first.
Speaker 1: It'll be a lot more coming out of no doubt.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I'm not gonna not gonna go too far
Speaker 1: into it.
Speaker 2: This one from Samara Jane something about Australia you haven't
Speaker 2: got used to yet.
Speaker 1: Something I got you too. Still driving, sometimes I pull
Speaker 1: out the wrong way that's and I just and then
Speaker 1: I'm like shoot, and I kind of like fix it,
Speaker 1: which is quite I always get in the wrong side.
Speaker 1: Still and I still do the windshield wipers every once
Speaker 1: in a while, thinking the blinkers on the wrong side.
Speaker 1: But then some cars here flips flips. Can we just
Speaker 1: decide which.
Speaker 2: One do you? Guys can't decide on anything.
Speaker 1: You're one of like two countries that drives on the
Speaker 1: wrong side of the road. Come on, get with the
Speaker 1: rest of us. I'll understand, look on.
Speaker 2: The middle here, but you drive in the middle.
Speaker 1: No, no, I'll come to meet you in the middle here.
Speaker 1: Our system feet and pounds everything else. I don't agree anything.
Speaker 1: We should be meters, we should be kilos. I heard
Speaker 1: them synerground that. But driving on the wrong side of
Speaker 1: the road, that's one thing I haven't hooked turns in Melbourne. Yeah,
Speaker 1: really questionable on that.
Speaker 2: In the States, it's like no one indicated and stuff
Speaker 2: like you can just turn it, which is awesome. That's psychotic.
Speaker 2: What do you mean red, red, stop, green goat's and
Speaker 2: yellow speed. There's go if you can make it, No,
Speaker 2: you got you got it.
Speaker 1: Now ready You've got to stop. And then if you're
Speaker 1: clear and there's no one there, you can just go.
Speaker 1: So it's like a stop sign. Yeah, it'sentially it stops
Speaker 1: on but you can't turn across traffic.
Speaker 2: People honking me. I'm like, dude, it's red, get off me. Nah.
Speaker 1: I was for a long time in Melbourne, I was
Speaker 1: actually doing that. I was turning it, which would be
Speaker 1: a left here, I was turning a left right. And
Speaker 1: then like people were just like I just was in
Speaker 1: the car with me. I want you know, what the
Speaker 1: hell are you doing? And I was like, Oh, you
Speaker 1: can't do that in this country. No. I was like, well,
Speaker 1: I never. There's no driving lessons or anything to getting
Speaker 1: where you come to the country. You just literally get
Speaker 1: given a license. And like you can drive in America,
Speaker 1: I guess you can drive in Australia. They don't tell
Speaker 1: you any of the background to it.
Speaker 2: Let's go with this one last. I kind of like
