Speaker 3: some sex. That was it.
Speaker 2: But my awkward moment, it wasn't that awkward. I feel
Speaker 2: like it's more people feel like it's awkward for you.
Speaker 2: Is not having a plus one.
Speaker 3: To a winning I'm a fan of not having a
Speaker 3: plus one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm fine with it. People are like people who
Speaker 2: are you dating something?
Speaker 1: It's like coming back for Christmas Day and mom and
Speaker 1: dad and all the families like, oh, yeah, you're getting
Speaker 1: married sooner, you're having kids.
Speaker 2: Just got a dead PanAm and be like, nam going
Speaker 2: to die a line, I'm going to die alone. And
Speaker 2: everyone knows I'm a piss.
Speaker 3: We're both pies.
Speaker 2: And does get a bit emotional during weddings when it
Speaker 2: gets up there. They hit you on the hot string
Speaker 2: every time. Every time. Yeah, I get up there and
Speaker 2: you start thinking like am I ever going to find
Speaker 2: the one? But dating segment coming up? Going to ask
Speaker 2: for some tips?
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, and I'm back. I think we both probably
Speaker 3: need that.
Speaker 2: And I'm back. Let the sun come in. Yeah, it's
Speaker 2: start going to spring, start getting out there.
Speaker 3: I might shave the mo hue.
Speaker 1: Yeah that is ladies and gentlemen. That's that's been a
Speaker 1: staple braidon Cox for a long time. Yeah, that's a
Speaker 1: big call. It's not even November is coming up too,
Speaker 1: so that's.
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe the opposite maybe I'll do the opposite.
Speaker 3: I'll shave it for shave November, not no shave November November.
Speaker 2: You got it. I got to put it out there
Speaker 2: to see maybe I should put it on my.
Speaker 1: Should do a vote on Twitter. We'll do a poll. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we'll do a poll for it. We'll go into I
Speaker 1: want to talk about my awkward moment this week. I
Speaker 1: find this crazy and I don't know if anyone else
Speaker 1: feels the same out there of how awkward this is
Speaker 1: whenever you meet someone for the first time, like whether
Speaker 1: it be male or female, like the introduction part of
Speaker 1: whether you shake someone's hand, like especially female, like sometimes
Speaker 1: you kiss on the cheek. I never quite understood that.
Speaker 1: And then there's some people who do like the double
Speaker 1: kiss on the cheek if they're kind of like European
Speaker 1: or something. And then you got the males. Some people
Speaker 1: like because I'm in sport, people want to dap me
Speaker 1: up as if like we're mates, and I'm like, I
Speaker 1: just met you, dude.
Speaker 2: That's the one that gets because it was awkward. I
Speaker 2: don't know DAPT protocols.
Speaker 1: Well, I had to teach people, so I tied Nathan
Speaker 1: Buckley how to do it back in the day or
Speaker 1: just coaching us. And we used to like dap each
Speaker 1: other out before I went out and ran out into
Speaker 1: a game every single game, and it was like little
Speaker 1: thing to do before the game.
Speaker 2: I feel like it's hand positioning. If you come I
Speaker 2: get in there early to establish hand positioning. If you
Speaker 2: point it directly at him, you can't really dap up
Speaker 2: like a direct hand. But if you come in like this,
Speaker 2: they're ready for like the hand cup or what and.
Speaker 1: Then then sometimes you'll bump chests and then you can't.
Speaker 1: I've lost in translation. I don't even know what's going on.
Speaker 2: Obviously the women one gives me because I don't know
Speaker 2: whether to kiss on the cheek.
Speaker 1: Yeah, COVID ruined it. I don't know if people are like,
Speaker 1: you know, COVID protocols two meters. I'm like, I don't
Speaker 1: know if I'm allowed to even be close to females
Speaker 1: in that sense.
Speaker 2: And my one of my best mates now he's a hugger.
Speaker 3: Oh wow, he would have really struggled COVID.
Speaker 2: Like, yeah, he'll hug no matter what. So I'll come
Speaker 2: in for the handshake just to like get in early,
Speaker 2: and he'll come in with the doors out the double
Speaker 2: arm spread and you'll be like bring it in love. Yeah,
Speaker 2: if I if I hug, which I'm coming around to hugging,
Speaker 2: are you, But like, I just just give me some warning,
Speaker 2: some prep I'll get to the hug. But if I hug,
Speaker 2: I have to say something stupid beforehand, like bring it
Speaker 2: in here.
Speaker 3: I knew it was coming. I didn't think fellows coming
Speaker 3: because people always say that, say something stupid.
Speaker 2: I can'd of just like give someone like a little
Speaker 2: casual hug.
Speaker 1: Well, it's awkward for me, becau if I hug someone,
Speaker 1: you know, most people go like over under, like you
Speaker 1: know the X where you go like, well, like.
Speaker 3: I have no option because I'm so much taller and
Speaker 3: everyone else. I have to like hug around the neck
Speaker 3: every time, and it just is super weird.
Speaker 2: You hug a guy. They got to do the both.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they got female and I've got to go male.
Speaker 1: You know, I early early break nice dominance.
Speaker 2: But that is awkward.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was.
Speaker 1: It's a bit of a weird one. It's always been
Speaker 1: a thing here. I just have never quite understood how
Speaker 1: to introduce myself or meet new people in a sense.
Speaker 1: But we'll move on to the next thing's thaking too
Speaker 1: much on that one. But we've got simple pleasures is
Speaker 1: one of the I think segments everyone's loving right now,
Speaker 1: Everyone's sitting in photos. There's simple pleasures. It's become a
Speaker 1: bit of a it's gonna have to be a staple,
Speaker 1: I think on the podcast because it's get a.
Speaker 2: Lot of the like the petrol pump ones where you
Speaker 2: stop it on an even number.
Speaker 1: Every time I do it, I seriously think back to
Speaker 1: that episode and I'm like, yeah, this is seriously so
Speaker 1: much pleasure out of this.
Speaker 2: So it is, so what do you have for us?
Speaker 3: Well, recently, so.
Speaker 1: We've had Monday and Tuesday off, right, So I've recently
Speaker 1: gone down the coast and something bad happened, right, not terribly,
Speaker 1: but like I've got my toothbrush.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's it, and it's like, you.
Speaker 1: Know, it's a real just like, oh man, I'll just
Speaker 1: maybe wait it out for a day, like twenty four.
Speaker 3: Hours or like twelve hours or whatever.
Speaker 2: You can go a day.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but then the simple pleasure is getting back home
Speaker 1: to like your electric toothbrush and your own toothpaste and
Speaker 1: brushing your teeth whenever. It's like absolutely discussing, like you
Speaker 1: know your breast stinks, you know, like you just got
Speaker 1: that stuff on, like the film on your teeth, and
Speaker 1: you just you clean it all out and then you
Speaker 1: just feel back to normal. It's like taking a hot shower,
Speaker 1: like take a shower after night showering for a day
Speaker 1: or something like that. You know, you just feel like
Speaker 1: you're back on.
Speaker 2: It is a good reset, like you just feel fresh again.
Speaker 2: It's probably the first thing that you do when you
Speaker 2: get back from camping, yes, very much so. Yeah, a
Speaker 2: business trip away.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's always a business trip and you're like, man,
Speaker 1: just first sleep back in the bed, unreal, just so good.
Speaker 3: What's your simple pleasure?
Speaker 2: Brough Mine is and it's coming up soon. When finals hits.
Speaker 2: One of the first things that I think about is
Speaker 2: the change back and forth from daylight savings to non
Speaker 2: daylight savings. I don't know which way.
Speaker 3: The extra hour of the extra.
Speaker 2: Hour that the nights are longer. It starts warming up.
Speaker 2: It's just everything starts to become a bit easier. You've
Speaker 2: gone through the deep dark depression, which is winter. Every
Speaker 2: winter I put on like five killer five. That's a lot,
Speaker 2: and then I start too late to come out of
Speaker 2: that and then.
Speaker 3: I haven't done the summer. You've done the summer too late.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So then by the end of summer, I'm like,
Speaker 2: all right, I'm ready to and then.
Speaker 3: It's winter in your back, in your hole.
Speaker 2: And if I miss one cycle, like if I put
Speaker 2: on five kilos, then don't lose it, and then put
Speaker 2: on another five kilos gg like game over. I'm done.
Speaker 2: But getting too far away from my simple pleasure. It's
Speaker 2: just the change of daylight savings because it coincides with
Speaker 2: everything warming up, becoming easier, going out, having drinks, more dates. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it is getting out there.
Speaker 3: The first jog of the spring.
Speaker 2: When you get a twenty degree day, that first twenty
Speaker 2: degree day feels like thirty days.
Speaker 3: You're like sleeveless shirt like.
Speaker 2: Shorts the cafe and your shorts and thongs come back.
Speaker 2: It is good. That's my simple pleasure. And it's coming
Speaker 2: up soon and.
Speaker 1: It is Melbourne, Like the vibe of Melbourne turns as
Speaker 1: soon as daylight Savings like comes, it's like, oh man,
Speaker 1: we're on, Like we've got the racing coming up, We've
Speaker 1: got the Grand Fire coming up, like event seasons coming up. Man,
Speaker 1: this place is about to just turn on its head
Speaker 1: from this just depressing winter like vibe.
Speaker 2: I feel like we peak in spring, like like we're
Speaker 2: good in summer, but like Melbourne peaks in spring, all
Speaker 2: the events are on. Everyone just comes out of their
Speaker 2: little hibernation and.
Speaker 1: Everyone's just got this energy. Everyone's been waiting. Everyone's waiting, man,
Speaker 1: everyone's like like us.
Speaker 3: Up for two years. She's got happen. Wheneybody come out.
Speaker 2: Of this and you know what I've been waiting for
Speaker 2: all week? What's that your entertainment? Right?
Speaker 3: We're on? This is this man. I seriously could not
Speaker 3: be more psyched about this.
Speaker 2: We got big feedback is last week.
Speaker 1: Heat was wild. I was still heartbroken about that. I'm
Speaker 1: seriously heartbroke. Still they haven't they haven't rekindled. I don't know,
Speaker 1: maybe it's a little bit made. They're hooking up on
Speaker 1: the one and I don't know, maybe heard that her first.
Speaker 1: I'm not really sure. I can't confirm or deny, but yeah,
Speaker 1: it was Keith. It was heartbreaking, absolutely heartbreaking. But with
Speaker 1: every breakup there is love that does get rekindled.
Speaker 2: Oh so we're going the other way.
Speaker 1: And we've rekindled love with Bennifer, you know, benefit obviously Yep,
Speaker 1: that's there's been a flack and there it is. Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: been aflac in Jennifer Pas and like shout out to
Speaker 1: Jailah because like that woman does not age. She is
Speaker 1: just at one hot mama. Yeah, and they got married official.
Speaker 1: They were like dating like thirty years ago and then
Speaker 1: like had different marriages. Jaylo actually married a guy named
Speaker 1: Chris Judd. Found that rain am way out. Yeah Chris Judd,
Speaker 1: different Chris Jodd. But Chris Shodd did married, did marry
Speaker 1: a Chris Jody? Yeah, I know, oh yeah, he's going right. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And then yeah, so they rekindled their law. They had
Speaker 1: a wedding at a random chapel in Vegas, like they
Speaker 1: did the whole Vegas kind of wedding, you know, like.
Speaker 2: That I think bad, But is that good?
Speaker 1: Can you do wedding as a celebrity if you just
Speaker 1: want to knock it out? Like they just went bank,
Speaker 1: got the certificate, got married, see you later. We're gonna
Speaker 1: do like a proper thing later on.
Speaker 2: So it was a low key.
Speaker 1: So it's a low key, like I think there's very
Speaker 1: minimal people there. And then they did a month later
Speaker 1: they had their big wedding run. Yeah, and now there's
Speaker 1: a bit of there's a bit of drama. This what
Speaker 1: no juicy goss now casey aflac, Ben's brother, Ben's brother
Speaker 1: no show, didn't no show at the wedding ceremony. I
Speaker 1: know how heart would you be if your brother didn't
Speaker 1: show up to your own wedding ceremony.
Speaker 2: My first thoughts if you've been married before, do you
Speaker 2: have to go to the next one?
Speaker 3: Yes, of course you have to go to everyone. It's
Speaker 3: a great you know, it's hey, we're celebrating love. We
Speaker 3: love love. Here, we're celebrating Bennifer getting married.
Speaker 2: Surely officially happened, Surely had something important on that.
Speaker 3: He blamed on his kids. It was just almost rude,
Speaker 3: like you just go.
Speaker 1: I got some parental stuff, like who knows what actually happened,
Speaker 1: But it was one of those things where it's just
Speaker 1: it almost kind of seemed like a bit of a bailout,
Speaker 1: and I was like, maybe there's a bit of family
Speaker 1: drama we don't know about. I don't know, but TMZ
Speaker 1: get on it, get on it. I figure it out,
Speaker 1: because we're all just on edge. We're on the edge
Speaker 1: of our seats trying to figure this benefit out. And
Speaker 1: there's also something else that happened. That they're married in
Speaker 1: Savannah and you know Ben's estate because people have the
Speaker 1: estates over there, and yeah, ridiculous. But one of the
Speaker 1: weird things. And then Ben's mom went to the hospital
Speaker 1: the day before. Man, it was crazy, this whole thing
Speaker 1: lock going on, going on. Jayla's just the most perfect
Speaker 1: one in the world. Love you anyway yet. But one
Speaker 1: of the weird things was that everyone wear white to
Speaker 1: the wedding. Now that is very very like, you know,
Speaker 1: only the bridewear is white on the wedding day, but
Speaker 1: they made everyone else.
Speaker 2: I feel I feel like, off the top of my
Speaker 2: head could be wrong Pendel's wedding in Bali or what.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I wasn't there, didn't get invited. I couldn't tell you. Sorry,
Speaker 3: Maybe next time, maybe whenever they have their rekindling of
Speaker 3: their what their affirmation, thirty year affirmation?
Speaker 2: Yeah lucky, we just passed the awkward moment.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I might be next week's is actually this moment
Speaker 1: right now? All right, we'll move on to the next thing.
Speaker 1: We've got the hot take. Now, I used to say
Speaker 1: hot take all the time on this part. I've had
Speaker 1: some people give me some feedback that they want to
Speaker 1: bring the hot take quote back, and I think we're
Speaker 1: going to do a segment here. It's takes such annoying things.
Speaker 1: We'll go with that, and I'll let you I'll let
Speaker 1: you start.
Speaker 3: Off on this one.
Speaker 1: I'll let you start off on this one because I'm
Speaker 1: quite embarrassed on my hot take.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I can see it written down here.
Speaker 1: It's probably caps, but I'll let you go first. Mate,
Speaker 1: what do you got for us?
Speaker 2: My hot take? And there's levels to this. But when
Speaker 2: you're walking through the supermarket and you see that someone's
Speaker 2: decided they don't want an item, so they just put
Speaker 2: it back on the shelf wherever they are and go like, ah,
Speaker 2: the little peasant like Cole's guy will come around and
Speaker 2: put that back. It's like, go put it back where
Speaker 2: you picked it up. You learn that as a kid. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but I feel like this goes to a new level
Speaker 2: when it's a meat based.
Speaker 3: Product, meat well into a non refrigerated area, Yeah, just
Speaker 3: get thrown out. Yeah, so I would human being would
Speaker 3: do that.
Speaker 2: Because sometimes I see it and because it annoys me
Speaker 2: so much, I pick it up and take it back
Speaker 2: and put it in the right. But question me item
Speaker 2: you can't.
Speaker 3: You can't do it.
Speaker 2: I don't know how long it's been sitting there. It's
Speaker 2: very true, but I saw it the other day. I
Speaker 2: took a photo of it. Someone picked up some chicken tenders, yeah,
Speaker 2: and walked like ten meters away you.
Speaker 3: See the person.
Speaker 2: No, No, they were already sitting and walked ten meters
Speaker 2: away from where the thing where the chicken tenders go
Speaker 2: and just put it in the bread aisle. And I
Speaker 2: was like, I just saw it sitting there. I was like,
Speaker 2: you only had to turn around and just put it
Speaker 2: just back there. But then I was like, oh, I
Speaker 2: was going to put it back and then I was like, wait,
Speaker 2: I don't know how long they've been sitting here.
Speaker 1: I could kill someone, Yeah, Samonella could happen. Like it's
Speaker 1: like people will never remember back when I as a kid,
Speaker 1: you know, it was one of those things. I guess
Speaker 1: that you kind of have these like raw models that
Speaker 1: will say this thing, and it's like you don't leave
Speaker 1: trash around because you know, as kids, you kind of
Speaker 1: maybe someone like would say, oh, what's a janitor's job,
Speaker 1: you know, like that's why he's here. Blah, blah blah,
Speaker 1: and you just kind of learn that it's like a
Speaker 1: real shit thing to say, and you learn that at
Speaker 1: a very young age. But I feel like that's very
Speaker 1: similar to like leaving trash out for someone else to
Speaker 1: clean up, is like leaving stuff there. And I will
Speaker 1: say this though, whenever I do go around in the
Speaker 1: supermarket sometimes if I see something, you know, that was
Speaker 1: I'll be like walking by, right, I'm assuming someone short
Speaker 1: walked by and they put something back in the middle.
Speaker 3: Of the shelf. They couldn't reach the top of the shelf.
Speaker 3: I kind of look at it. I'll just put that back.
Speaker 1: I just put it back at the top, and I say,
Speaker 1: you know what, I've done, my good deep for the day.
Speaker 1: That's nice, you know, commers coming back from me in
Speaker 1: a positive way. So that is That's something I will
Speaker 1: do if I see it. But to leave cheeking tenders
Speaker 1: out in the bread section is just a dreadful thing,
Speaker 1: just disgusting, and we do not we do not like
Speaker 1: that on this pod. But I'll go into my hot take, man,
Speaker 1: And we've hosted this on the Socials this week. This
Speaker 1: is huge news. I'm actually so freaking embarrassed by this.
Speaker 1: So someone was listening to our podcast, Daniel Patrick, who's
Speaker 1: had a clothing company in the US, and he had
Speaker 1: sent some stuff to the Boys of the Club and
Speaker 1: he had sent me this item of clothing. And I've
Speaker 1: talked about this item of clothing on the podcast before
Speaker 1: and I said, they're ridiculous, there are no point to them.
Speaker 3: They look stupid. I would never wear one.
Speaker 2: So big international designer Daniel Patrick sent you an item
Speaker 2: of clothing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's really niceome. He's good, good dude.
Speaker 1: And he actually after the Eddie podcast, which if you
Speaker 1: haven't heard the Eddie Podcast, you need to get on it.
Speaker 1: That was unreal. That was the last one I put out.
Speaker 1: Go through the cattlealog check it out. It's a great chat.
Speaker 1: He went and hung out in Eddie's box for the
Speaker 1: game that weekend. I think I can't remember who we're playing.
Speaker 1: But so he was in town doing like his little
Speaker 1: rounds of stuff. She's from Australia and he's over in
Speaker 1: La now.
Speaker 2: But yeah, he designed. He did an added ass collaboration
Speaker 2: with James Harden.
Speaker 3: Oh I should know this.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's done some pretty big design things. So he
Speaker 2: wanted to hit up Mason and yeah, he collabed with
Speaker 2: the Big Yeah.
Speaker 3: He sends the club and he sent me this thing,
Speaker 3: this item of clothing.
Speaker 1: And now I will say this item of clothing is
Speaker 1: named a puffer vest. And I've said in previous episodes
Speaker 1: of be'st of the dumbest thing I've ever seen.
Speaker 3: In my life. Here's no point to him.
Speaker 1: Why would you have a cut off shirt that's essentially
Speaker 1: a jacket with cut off sleeves. And I mean, this
Speaker 1: is a nice one. He sent me this as a
Speaker 1: bit of a joke. And I was literally walking I
Speaker 1: got this. I hadn't even tried it on. I was
Speaker 1: just like I was almost kind of like this prick.
Speaker 1: Now he's just he's almost like digging in the knife,
Speaker 1: just making fun of me. It's all a good fine.
Speaker 1: But I was like, I'm just going to go, you know,
Speaker 1: to the to the local. I give this to someone,
Speaker 1: you know. And I was walking and I was like,
Speaker 1: gonna put it in my car and I did it.
Speaker 1: I did what do we all do? I guess is
Speaker 1: how did Jack con put it on? And I'm getting
Speaker 1: the elevant And I looked at myself and go, ship
Speaker 1: it actually looks all right. I can't I think to myself,
Speaker 1: do I go through with this? I don't know how
Speaker 1: to handle this, So I'd sit you a photout and
Speaker 1: I said, it's happening.
Speaker 3: I think I'm becoming a vest guy.
Speaker 1: And I didn't know how to handle it, and I
Speaker 1: was going to give it away, and it's it's now
Speaker 1: becoming part of the My review is Daniel Patrick's got
Speaker 1: some Greg gear. No, I think of that if you
Speaker 1: were a jacket a hoodie underneath. So yeah, it actually
Speaker 1: looks okay.
Speaker 2: I've gone a couple of different backgrounds to this story.
Speaker 2: So so one, you're like ragging on puffer vest, but
Speaker 2: you wear you wear three quarter tracksuit pants.
Speaker 3: Because track suit pants don't fit me. I'm going to
Speaker 3: make myself regular size track suit pants. I just draw
Speaker 3: them up.
Speaker 2: It's the thing, you had three quarter tracking pants on
Speaker 2: and a puffer vest. It was a great look.
Speaker 3: With bright blue shoes.
Speaker 2: And then but so it was funny. I actually had
Speaker 2: another podcast with a client and Daniel Patrick was the
Speaker 2: guest and he was like in town, like do you
Speaker 2: know this like Mason Cox guy?
Speaker 3: Oh gosh yeah.
Speaker 2: And my client was like, oh yeah, Brandon actually does
Speaker 2: a podcast with him. It's like, ah, I been trying
Speaker 2: to hit up this guy, send him some dms, just
Speaker 2: ghost me. I was like, yeah, actually, when I said,
Speaker 2: I know it, like I know of him, like I've
Speaker 2: never had podcast with him.
Speaker 3: I'm going to have to apologize. Then there's a lot
Speaker 3: of things I lose. DMS.
Speaker 1: Daniel Patrick, if you messaged me, I just want to
Speaker 1: say officially an apology to you, mate. But we did
Speaker 1: actually did text you after I actually messaged them on
Speaker 1: socials after I got the best and said thank you
Speaker 1: so thanks Matte. I appreciate it. But if I message
Speaker 1: missed your messages before, I just want to apologize. I'm
Speaker 1: not very good with messaging people back on socials.
Speaker 2: No I coverage covered.
Speaker 3: I love that for the big fillow.
Speaker 2: I was like, there's so many girls in those dams.
Speaker 2: He would be digging for days to get I wish.
Speaker 1: I wish everyone says that to you. But anyway, we'll
Speaker 1: move on to the next thing. And this is a
Speaker 1: absolute favorite and an absolute staple of the catch up,
Speaker 1: and it's Brandon's favorite segment. I think I can say
Speaker 1: that without having to even ask you. It is the
Speaker 1: weird news stories of the week.
Speaker 2: Did a bit of prep this week love that been
Speaker 2: lagging on.
Speaker 3: Other weeks, so I didn't want to say it.

Speaker 1: But if you do want to see myself in a
Speaker 1: mort any cowboy hatt and sunglasses, and I think Kletis
Speaker 1: was the name we went with.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not really hout of so too.
Speaker 1: Sure we might need to retrospectively look at that, but
Speaker 1: if you want that, that's on the socials too. So
Speaker 1: if you want to see me in a mollt compared
Speaker 1: to these kids, we can maybe do a little carousel
Speaker 1: thing and be able to say, like, you know, who
Speaker 1: wore it best kind of thing.
Speaker 2: There is an adult division, so.
Speaker 1: Is there, Well, we might have to do that, but
Speaker 1: we'll go into this one, the kids one, because I
Speaker 1: think kids, this is becoming a thing, kids and molts.

Speaker 2: Plenty going on in Duncan, Okla.

Speaker 2: Is no, no, no, you got to You got to describe.
Speaker 1: This kid's got literally an American flag shaped into the
Speaker 1: side of his head. And that's huge bonus points. Right
Speaker 1: whoever huge point is very talented. You can see the
Speaker 1: stars in the oh he's got in the ten stars.
Speaker 1: He's got a few stars you put in there. That's
Speaker 1: gonna be tough to put fifty stars in.
Speaker 3: The side of your head. But that that's that's bonus points.
Speaker 1: That's bonus points, and he's got he's got locks past
Speaker 1: his neck, so it's past the shoulders, which is a
Speaker 1: I feel like for a mold competition, that's bare minimum.
Speaker 3: Yeah, if you're gonna have them all, it's got to
Speaker 3: be past the shoulders.
Speaker 2: Well, I like that. What are you giving it? Out
Speaker 2: of ten?
Speaker 3: Landry, I'll give him a six six.
Speaker 1: You don't want start too highcause then if you go
Speaker 1: to the other people, it's like, I don't know, I'll
Speaker 1: move on to the next epic from Hooya Hoya, Texas.

Speaker 2: His name is epic.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because his haircuts freaking epic. I'll tell you that, dude,
Speaker 1: look at this man. This guy's literally, oh my gosh,

Speaker 1: So he's got he's got the speed dealers, he's got,
Speaker 1: he's almost got the mazing coxx goggles. Yeah, he's got
Speaker 1: obviously the size of shade. He needs a little bit
Speaker 1: trimming up. He doesn't really have it too clean cut,
Speaker 1: which I mean, I think it more that maybe it's
Speaker 1: you know, maybe it's part of the look.
Speaker 2: It's like rough on but then like surfer vibe, Like yeah, well, I.
Speaker 1: Think the surfer vibe probably comes from his shirt that
Speaker 1: has multiple flowers and bright colors.
Speaker 3: He kind of looks like the Scooby Doo van.
Speaker 1: It's like the side of the Scooby Do you put
Speaker 1: that into a print and put it on his shirt?
Speaker 3: This is what epic looks like.
Speaker 2: I was thinking.
Speaker 1: And then he's got the massive pit vipers. You know
Speaker 1: pit vipers are They are the sunglasses that take up
Speaker 1: three quarters of your face and they are the most
Speaker 1: boging things you can possibly imagine. But sorry, we'll write
Speaker 1: the one. We'll go all right, him higher. I like
Speaker 1: the the shagg and wagon shirt is going to give
Speaker 1: him a seven, So he's better than the first line. Sorry,
Speaker 1: dunk On Oklahoma, you are already behind the third one.

Speaker 1: describe this kid. He's got the bowl cut, straight.
Speaker 3: Line hairline, and he's pushed it down like Mom's done
Speaker 3: a bowl cut on the front.
Speaker 2: It's like Lloyd Christmas from Dumb and DUMBA.
Speaker 1: Yes, that is a great that's a great. Get there,
Speaker 1: blonde hair shots, sides aren't shaved. Not a fan of that,
Speaker 1: come on, pick it up in it, but hair goes
Speaker 1: it long enough.
Speaker 3: Take that box. It's like.
Speaker 1: Now, it's the best thing I like about this kid though. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and don't give me the Scooby do off. It was great.
Speaker 1: But the American flag T shirt, I mean in the
Speaker 1: collared T shirt like this is this is John Daly esque.
Speaker 1: John Daily would wear this. Now, I think that that
Speaker 1: that pumps him up. That giveshi brownie once. Now do
Speaker 1: I think he's He's better in Duncan, Oklahoma for landery,
Speaker 1: but he's on par I'll give him a seven. I'll
Speaker 1: give him a seven. Epicon inmit together hit Vipra pit
Speaker 1: viver Bros. This next one, okay, So the next one,

Speaker 1: from Stranger Things a little bit. That's very interesting. He
Speaker 1: doesn't have pit vipers on.
Speaker 3: That's automatically you know, you go maybe one down with
Speaker 3: the aviators he's gone, he's gone top gun. I look respect,
Speaker 3: not gonna respect kid from Wesley, Arkansas.
Speaker 2: It's very Joe dirt.
Speaker 3: He's very Joe dirt.
Speaker 1: Very that's a great way, like you can tell because
Speaker 1: the very the front Joe dirt kind of like pushed up,
Speaker 1: kind of like just messy. And when you talk about length,
Speaker 1: he's he's definitely got the length compared to everyone else.
Speaker 1: That's that's longer than most female haircuts I've ever seen.
Speaker 2: And the fact that he's just standing out in a field.
Speaker 1: That's I actually think there might be a gun in
Speaker 1: the background in the second picture. I'm not huson sure
Speaker 1: there that is Arkansas, so it might be legal. And
Speaker 1: then he's got the American T shirt, so look for
Speaker 1: pure length throwing. I'm gonna give you an eight.
Speaker 3: I reckon.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put him above the other ones, you know,
Speaker 1: representing like the aviators top gun style. I love that

Speaker 1: in the side. I will say that he's got the
Speaker 1: pit vipers, he's got American ship, American shirt has ticked
Speaker 1: that box. The length, though, length is a bit short.
Speaker 1: Length is a bit short. But he does remind me
Speaker 1: of Chris Farley a little bit, so I think I
Speaker 1: might give him.
Speaker 3: I'll give him a seven.
Speaker 1: I still think the last fella rowing length of this
Speaker 1: thing is unreal.
Speaker 2: There's two photos. In the back of one. He's got
Speaker 2: like a rim from a car. That's all that's in
Speaker 2: the back of the other. It's like, it's an American

Speaker 2: at the top of the night. It's really still got
Speaker 2: me And yeah, we'll go rounds the top of the
Speaker 2: eight until the last one. So what's what's last time
Speaker 2: we got here? We got him and again we got
Speaker 2: two innutes from minimony and.

Speaker 3: It is ginger.
Speaker 2: He's a ginger.
Speaker 1: He reps a ginger hard. He's he's got pit fibers on.
Speaker 1: That's a tick. He's uh, he's got The length is
Speaker 1: probably just on the cutoff. But shoot, man, I think
Speaker 1: this kid might take it out. He might go an
Speaker 1: eight and a half on this kid. That's what gets
Speaker 1: me across the line.
Speaker 3: That's the point five bread and that is the point
Speaker 3: five that just gives him the championship at the Mullet
Speaker 3: Cap cop check it out. They're probably live stream in
Speaker 3: the next year's competition.
Speaker 2: Who well like, I think you'd be glad to find
Speaker 2: out that Emmett that you gave the W two actually
Speaker 2: took Actually he's the one that took it out.
Speaker 1: Huge look at that. He's gonna have a tough life
Speaker 1: as a ginger. But we'll give him the mullet cop
Speaker 1: freaking Championship. Where's it going to know where this mullet
Speaker 1: coomp is. I can guarantee you it's either Wisconsin or Oklahoma. Well,
Speaker 1: I thought Arkansas might be too, I'm not really sure sure.
Speaker 2: I thought the kids one was okay, like there is
Speaker 2: an adult division, and I just thought that was.
Speaker 3: A bit sad. No, it's not. It's it's great content.
Speaker 3: I just thought that some of these the backgrounds is year.
Speaker 3: We've got to We've got a rim, yeah, American flag,
Speaker 3: We've got a questional maybe shotgun. We've got like just
Speaker 3: someone's taken out of the back of a forest and
Speaker 3: then someone's at the beach. But the yeah, the shag
Speaker 3: and wagon like shirt that was that was probably one
Speaker 3: of the highlights.
Speaker 1: Well, Emmitt from Minimo in Wisconsin, Congratulations, you've won the
Speaker 1: Rowing Media and Mason Cock Show Championship for the best
Speaker 1: child with a haircut. And for legal reasons, we might
Speaker 1: have to cut out some of the things we said
Speaker 1: about these children on this podcast. But the annual, Yeah,
Speaker 1: the annual will come back and yourer's time, Emit. I
Speaker 1: want to see it again.
Speaker 2: All right, let's keep moving on. We've got another one.
Speaker 2: And I saw this actually on Kyle and Jackie. I
Speaker 2: just straight up stole it. But don't let Janet Jackson's
Speaker 2: Rhythm Nation crash your old laptop.
Speaker 3: Okay? Is that a sign of as soon?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Not the biggest Janet Jackson fan.
Speaker 3: I think we all know Janet Jackson for the wrong
Speaker 3: reason of the Super Bowl ye debacle.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'd say that playing Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation on
Speaker 2: some older laptops causes them to crash. And here's why.
Speaker 2: What rhythm Nation contains one of the natural resonant frequencies
Speaker 2: laptops that match up with old fifty four hundred rpm
Speaker 2: hard drives.
Speaker 3: Oh the fifty four hundred Yeah, so that for everyone listening,
Speaker 3: if you don't know, that's just like your standard old school.
Speaker 2: It's your normal old school of hard drive. But yeah,
Speaker 2: the resonant frequency, I read this. It's the same as
Speaker 2: like why soldiers march offbeat while going over a bridge,
Speaker 2: because if they march at the same resonant frequency, it
Speaker 2: can bring the whole bridge down. Really so, and it's
Speaker 2: a similar thing here, and it's actually a known bug
Speaker 2: and common cause and vulnerability in laptops that they actually
Speaker 2: mark it down as resonant frequency attack.
Speaker 3: Really do you reckon that?
Speaker 1: Apple is just like made this song with her to
Speaker 1: say like, hey, we want him to buy the new
Speaker 1: Apple like Mac because I feel like every year my
Speaker 1: Apple phone or whatever it is, all of a sudden
Speaker 1: the battery just dies whenever there's a new iPhone that
Speaker 1: comes out.
Speaker 3: Never interesting how that happens. Apple never updated this.
Speaker 2: One car thief in the UK jailed after being caught
Speaker 2: hiding inside a giant teddy Bear.
Speaker 3: Okay, yep, she's not for it.
Speaker 2: So a man from the United Kingdom who was wanted
Speaker 2: for car theft was sent to jail on Friday after
Speaker 2: police found him hiding in a giant teddy Bear.
Speaker 3: Pretty good, that's pretty good. Hide out like.
Speaker 2: Disch is pretty good. He cut up the bottom of
Speaker 2: the teddy Bear and he's hiding inside and the police
Speaker 2: attended his property and noticed that the bear was breathing. Okay,
Speaker 2: that's signed and found the eighteen year old stuffed inside
Speaker 2: of five foot teddy bear. The Greater Manchester Police said
Speaker 2: that they could barely believe what they had stumbled across.
Speaker 2: But now the man is stuffed in jail.
Speaker 1: That is a Herald Sun headline if I've ever seen one.
Speaker 1: Breiden stuffed behind bars classic.
Speaker 3: We'll move on to the next time. I know a
Speaker 3: lot of people we actually found out.
Speaker 1: I mean, Braiden knows all the statistics of the podcast,
Speaker 1: and there's there's been quite a demographic of females that.
Speaker 3: Listen to this podcast. Now it's coming up the way.
Speaker 1: I don't know what the percentage would be, but thirty
Speaker 1: percent female, which for me, I feel like in yourself,
Speaker 1: you and I that's that's a lot more than we
Speaker 1: probably imagine at the beginning.
Speaker 2: Yeah, getting close to a third of our audience.
Speaker 3: I thought, you know, we had a bit of a
Speaker 3: spike whenever we talked about your dating life.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not true.
Speaker 3: Now that it's true, we're gonna, We're gonna, We're gonna.
Speaker 3: This is my intro.
Speaker 1: This is my switch over to your your dating life
Speaker 1: because we have thirty percent females, and the females want
Speaker 1: to know are Braiden, how is the dating life going terrible?
Speaker 2: But this is why I'm I need help, And now
Speaker 2: that we have a higher demographic of women, they can
Speaker 2: give me tips. That's from the other side, they.
Speaker 3: Can ask their girlfriends and stuff and they're going like, hey,
Speaker 3: I know a guy braidon take referrals.
Speaker 2: Okay, yes, but I actually woke up to a text
Speaker 2: message from my good mates this morning that often check
Speaker 2: in on how my dating life is, and he gave
Speaker 2: me the tip that said datings and numbers game. You
Speaker 2: gotta up those numbers more dates.
Speaker 3: I'm probably more of a quality over quantity guy.
Speaker 2: But quality before you go in there.
Speaker 3: Like friends give you like a good recommendation, like that's
Speaker 3: actually I feel like our people meet.
Speaker 2: I have friends trying to hook me up and I
Speaker 2: can't get better. Friends bid like, hey, this girl's perfect
Speaker 2: for you, and then you look at her and you're like, geez,
Speaker 2: she's beautiful.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's what's on the inside of the accounts is
Speaker 3: exactly what you.
Speaker 2: Say opinion of me? Thanks, But yeah, so I figure
Speaker 2: I kind of want to get it a vibe of,
Speaker 2: like ethically, when it's a numbers game, how many people
Speaker 2: can you be dating at once?
Speaker 1: Like I'm not really the one to be asking this question,
Speaker 1: that's why out there? Yeah, okay, we're asking whor's in
Speaker 1: the public. Yeah, in today's world of like I feel
Speaker 1: like today's world, we we have you know, your you're
Speaker 1: dating apps and everything else, it's probably almost encouraged to
Speaker 1: date multiple people in the sense like because you have
Speaker 1: so many people you're swiping through whoever, it is like
Speaker 1: that going on multiple dates and dating multiple people was
Speaker 1: not frowned upon as much as it probably was ten
Speaker 1: fifteen years ago.
Speaker 2: So my I get I feel like a little bit
Speaker 2: of guilt, And I don't know if that's just me,
Speaker 2: but like I and then when I just picked one,
Speaker 2: I just go with that and see how far that goes.
Speaker 2: It normally falls over and then we're back to actually
Speaker 2: where one, back to him? Yeah, well, back to the
Speaker 2: PlayStation for a couple of months, and then back to
Speaker 2: dating cried out Yeah. So yeah, I just want to
Speaker 2: know like the ethics around that. And then like so
Speaker 2: say you date multiple say you have a killer.
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's let's ask the question, how many is too many?
Speaker 2: Yeah, you go hypothetical, So say we have.
Speaker 3: To have something that the people can just respond to.
Speaker 2: So if you're dating on numbers, let's say you have
Speaker 2: an absolute blinder, you go on seven dates in seven days, hypothetical,
Speaker 2: don't even add what I'm not doing that, but hypothetically
Speaker 2: and then from that the free time from that is
Speaker 2: shortlist to let's say three. Okay, so three you go
Speaker 2: on a second date with, Oh, I see what you're saying. Yeah,
Speaker 2: how many dates can you go on with those three
Speaker 2: before you got to whittle it down to one? You
Speaker 2: give the rose to.
Speaker 3: Like, give the rose to actually, so.
Speaker 2: You can't like if you pick three and you're like, oh,
Speaker 2: they're all great, and then you go through like, surely
Speaker 2: you can't be going more than three dates. I feel
Speaker 2: like you've got to pick question after three dates? Right?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Three or four?
Speaker 1: I think you'd know, like if you really like someone,
Speaker 1: then you would like you would just not want to
Speaker 1: talk to other females. Yeah, I don't know?
Speaker 3: Am I wrong? And say that comment on a post? Ladies?
Speaker 3: Let us know?
Speaker 2: How do you know if you like someone after one
Speaker 2: or two dates? Just know somebody?
Speaker 3: People you don't?
Speaker 2: So after that, it's like the risk that you're taking.
Speaker 2: So you go like, so say you like all three
Speaker 2: of them after three dates, but you go like, I'm
Speaker 2: just gonna I can't go a fourth date with all three.
Speaker 2: I got a pick. So you just go like, I'm
Speaker 2: gonna go with this one, I'm gonna go with like
Speaker 2: I would.
Speaker 1: Hope you have like necessarily a ranking, but like you
Speaker 1: would like one more than another over another.
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, the top one. Yeah, it's like a D listings.
Speaker 3: It's a D listings at the end of the three
Speaker 3: days rule and do your D listings.
Speaker 1: I don't have enough time to even think about that,
Speaker 1: so I cannot comment on that, Brandon. But I think
Speaker 1: what we will encourage is all the females listening to
Speaker 1: please comment and help.
Speaker 2: With the fellas.
Speaker 3: The fellas too.
Speaker 1: I think there'll be some very interesting dating stories between
Speaker 1: our our listeners and our followers on social media.
Speaker 2: Well, I want to like the juxtaposition. I want, like
Speaker 2: I take the guys what they think is like the
Speaker 2: right thing, and then what the girls say is actually
Speaker 2: the right thing, and put them together, get all the data.
Speaker 1: Let's do this because I reason I bring this up
Speaker 1: is we'll put it on TikTok and let's do this.
Speaker 1: We'll put it because TikTok, I've learned TikTok is the
Speaker 1: wild wast people say anything and everything on that thing.
Speaker 1: Get to the truth quick, insane. But I'll say this
Speaker 1: to TikTok. How many dates do you need to go
Speaker 1: on with the female before you need to call it
Speaker 1: official and down to one? Because I feel like people
Speaker 1: date multiple people, So how many dates do you need
Speaker 1: to go on before you make it officially? Just one
Speaker 1: person you're seeing?
Speaker 3: TikTok? Let us know?
Speaker 2: Okay, I like that.
Speaker 1: Thank You're going to get some kids just riffing on you, man. Yeah,
Speaker 1: really going to have to be cautious on the comments.
Speaker 1: I'm going to check in to make sure you're mentally
Speaker 1: health okay next.
Speaker 2: Week because my thing is that I'm trying to figure
Speaker 2: out at the moment is like do I be myself
Speaker 2: or just a better version of myself? Do I let
Speaker 2: them see all of me? Or do you roll it
Speaker 2: out over three days? Because sometimes I go in, I'm thirty.
Speaker 2: Once you hit thirty, you care less what people think about.
Speaker 3: You're comfortable in your own skin.
Speaker 2: So I just roll in, I'm fully me, like, I'm
Speaker 2: fully me, Like what you see is what you're going
Speaker 2: to get if we make it to day twenty. So yeah,
Speaker 2: I don't know if I should pull that back because
Speaker 2: I haven't had many second date experiences lately. There's been
Speaker 2: a lot of first first not a lot of seconds.
Speaker 1: So you're saying you're seven and seven days does not
Speaker 1: get wielded to.
Speaker 3: Three, It gets willed to zero.
Speaker 2: Three.
Speaker 3: They're not They're not match you, They're not on the
Speaker 3: same pace.
Speaker 2: So yeah, I'm trying to figure do I be the
Speaker 2: full picture? Why do I just bring my strength?
Speaker 1: Let's argue yourself, mate, be yourself. If they don't like
Speaker 1: you for who you are, then you know what, they're
Speaker 1: just not meant.
Speaker 2: To be myself? Sure, but be all of myself. Ye,
Speaker 2: be every aspect, just all the good parts, leave all
Speaker 2: the bad parts.
Speaker 1: Start with the good parts and then you work the
Speaker 1: bad parts in later. So I figure that you'd start
Speaker 1: off you've gone zero baggage, you've just gone check in,
Speaker 1: and then the next trip you kind of bring one.
Speaker 1: You bring a carry on, you bring another bag, You're
Speaker 1: bring another bag. Next thing you know, you got ten
Speaker 1: bags and you're really going international and it's costing more
Speaker 1: for luge than the actual flight itself.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so checking baggage slowly.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Yeah, that's my advice.
Speaker 2: I like that. That's a really good metaphor. First day
Speaker 2: it's just a bit of carry on.
Speaker 1: It's a first days to overnight in Sydney. You're not
Speaker 1: even bringing clothes, You're just going there and back. Okay, Yeah,
Speaker 1: next day it's overnight. You haven't you know, sleepover bag.
Speaker 1: Next day you've got the suitcase, maybe a double bag,
Speaker 1: and then you get to the roller case and then it.
Speaker 2: Just goes and then you're there. It's not a holiday anymore.
Speaker 1: Then then she's on the third date and she's already
Speaker 1: committed and she's got it too little it down to
Speaker 1: just you.
Speaker 3: So that's kind of work.
Speaker 2: That's the conundrum because then me down to one of
Speaker 2: their three, you're just.
Speaker 3: Not on the top of God.
Speaker 1: Well, we're gonna get a lot of feedback from that,
Speaker 1: from the females and the males. I would love to
Speaker 1: hear your opinions on it, maybe some of your horror
Speaker 1: stories of kind of some of the dating that.
Speaker 2: As much as I love the dating chat, I absolutely
Speaker 2: love the footy.
Speaker 3: Chat, love the segua big.
Speaker 2: Big what, big what, Let's.
Speaker 3: Jump on into the bob. Yeah. Anyway, he loves the
Speaker 3: dating and keep going.
Speaker 2: So I don't know if you know this, but you
Speaker 2: had a win on the weekend. You yes, beat your
Speaker 2: rival counting carton.
Speaker 3: So have you ever since? I was a young boy
Speaker 3: hated car.
Speaker 2: Have you have you grown to hate Calten yet?
Speaker 1: Or is it just they're all that's all the same
Speaker 1: calling when called to people probably gonna hate me for
Speaker 1: saying that, but yeah, I don't know. I kind of
Speaker 1: look at players as like people are in the same
Speaker 1: profession as me, you know, mates, you know. But there
Speaker 1: was a trash hock on weekend.
Speaker 2: And there you go, Well, so you makeing a habit
Speaker 2: of this, but close game you finished on the bench,
Speaker 2: you get to watch along best seat in the house,
Speaker 2: take us through the last minutes of the game. And
Speaker 2: what you were thinking you're on the bench with Pendles
Speaker 2: the fearless leader. Yeah, because he had a split open dome.
Speaker 2: He was blood.
Speaker 3: Both of us were bleeding.
Speaker 1: They're like at halftime, just goshing out and then he
Speaker 1: gets at the very end of the game and it's
Speaker 1: kind of weird, so it sucks. It's like you obviously
Speaker 1: want to be in that moment, and like he's on
Speaker 1: the field and he's got like he like literally looked
Speaker 1: at the raft and I was like, I'm bleeding out
Speaker 1: of the back of my head, like my head is
Speaker 1: split open.
Speaker 2: He's smart, though, he does it at a good time
Speaker 2: to be like stoppage, take your time set up.
Speaker 1: Yeah, very into the game on the bench. I wasn't
Speaker 1: even sitting on the bench. I was still hyped ill
Speaker 1: standing at that point. And you go, Brad Maynard intercept,
Speaker 1: Brad maynod pendles, pindles to appendles to Guinea. Guinea box
Speaker 1: out to Jamie. Jamie running goal actually burns Guinea.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think some hard. He burned a couple.
Speaker 3: He burned a cut because it was three v one.
Speaker 2: It is at the top of the square.
Speaker 1: Check us, top of the square. I had a person
Speaker 1: roll with them Guinea No. One and then Billy corner. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and Billy as we now love Jamie, I so I
Speaker 1: kick on them Billy, but Jamie all loves the corner.
Speaker 1: The little just slot a goal, just ice called ice
Speaker 1: in the veins and yeah burns giddy burns checkers and
Speaker 1: just slots it. And I cannot fathom, cannot fathom what
Speaker 1: would have happened if he didn't.
Speaker 3: Make that shot. Yeah, it's I write the confidence on
Speaker 3: the man, a lot of it to drop.
Speaker 2: Man shaped around the post.
Speaker 3: Just give me all your love.
Speaker 1: And then Guinea, he like jumps on Guinea and Guinny
Speaker 1: just gets bowled over like the celebration and just I
Speaker 1: couldn't believe I was pissing myself. I was like, this
Speaker 1: whole last quarter is just turned into absolute chaos and
Speaker 1: then we go into a bit of like to save
Speaker 1: the game and everything else, and yeah, I ended up
Speaker 1: winning and win by one point, not Carlton out of
Speaker 1: the finals when we get top four.
Speaker 2: So why you bring up gun? We've brought him up
Speaker 2: a couple of times on the pod, Big Guinea fans
Speaker 2: on the pod, and a lot of people have talked
Speaker 2: about him all season. He's been like the poster boy
Speaker 2: for news all year. He gets booed in Sydney two
Speaker 2: weeks ago for being injured on the bench head high contact.
Speaker 2: Don't even know how he's got a head still on
Speaker 2: his shoulders at this point. But one thing that people
Speaker 2: aren't really focusing on he kicked thirty six goals in
Speaker 2: the regular season. That puts him he's like one goal
Speaker 2: behind Checkers for leading the club's goal kicking. He's got
Speaker 2: more goals and other small forwards like Cody Weightman, Sonny Walters,
Speaker 2: Isaac Rankin, Tom Papley. Perhaps he's kicked about fifteen more
Speaker 2: goals than Mixed Day. The bloke that you're trying to
Speaker 2: get in next year three. He's kicked three goals five
Speaker 2: times or more. He's kicked five goals in a little
Speaker 2: game Anzac Day. Anzac Day against Esselyn won the Anzac
Speaker 2: metal circle. Shush in the crowd. He's brought so much
Speaker 2: energy to the game this year. But people need to
Speaker 2: focus on his footy because.
Speaker 3: He's a dal football player.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he just kicks goals.
Speaker 1: It's just he's just a guy you just have total
Speaker 1: trust in. And like, man, he's a nineten year old
Speaker 1: kid that's had the weight on his shoulders all year.
Speaker 1: Like credit to him. I don't think anyone would be
Speaker 1: able to handle it as well as he has.
Speaker 2: What I still need to wrap my head around is
Speaker 2: what happened to Carlton. So let me walk through it
Speaker 2: so I can wrap my head around it. I need
Speaker 2: to be able to fathom this. So Carlton were in
Speaker 2: the top eight hold year for the twenty two rounds
Speaker 2: prior to the final round, right.
Speaker 3: Everything but probably four minutes Brandon.
Speaker 2: They were up by four goals at the three quarter time.
Speaker 1: They made a massive comeback in a third quarter and
Speaker 1: credit to him, Like, they had a really good run
Speaker 1: in the third. But if anyone's watched a bit of
Speaker 1: footy of calling football club, we love a fourth quarter.
Speaker 2: So they were up by four goals heading into the
Speaker 2: last and they've lost one point after kicking zero goals
Speaker 2: six behinds in the fourth quarter.
Speaker 3: Oh wow, I didn't that. Yep.
Speaker 2: So they missed the eighth by zero point six percent.
Speaker 2: That's rough, And on top of that, they put their
Speaker 2: bitter rival, the Collingwood Football Club into the top four
Speaker 2: as a result. I don't think it could get any
Speaker 2: worse than that. Yes, Like, and I know stuff comes
Speaker 2: back to bayer if you like gloat or say anything.
Speaker 2: So that's not a gloating thing. It's not. I'm just
Speaker 2: pointing it out.
Speaker 3: I'm not saying anything. This is it.
Speaker 2: But I don't I don't think they could be a
Speaker 2: worst loss. You miss finals to your arch rival, you
Speaker 2: give them a hand in finals. You miss by point
Speaker 2: six after losing by a solitary point after leading it
Speaker 2: three quarters time, and then kicking zero goals six in.
Speaker 3: The last, like put my feet in someone else's shoes.
Speaker 3: Like it is rough.
Speaker 2: It's rough.
Speaker 1: Rough, it's rough, and like I'm obviously happy we were
Speaker 1: in top four and we beat them and everything else,
Speaker 1: but like like you have friends on different teams and
Speaker 1: you kind of have to sympathize with them after, like
Speaker 1: you know, after the whole thing happens, you're kind of like, shit, man,
Speaker 1: that would suck. Oh, Like, and they they had an
Speaker 1: amazing year, Like I don't think anybody really expecting their
Speaker 1: new coach and everything else. Yeah, no one really expected
Speaker 1: them to be probably as good as they were throughout
Speaker 1: the year and beating some of the bigger teams everything else.
Speaker 1: And it's a credit to Voss and everything else. And
Speaker 1: he's turned that program around. I think, like three four
Speaker 1: years ago, like that Carlton was just like an absolute
Speaker 1: dump dumpster fire, Like no one knew what was going
Speaker 1: to go on there. Like there was just new people
Speaker 1: in it out and it was kind of like us
Speaker 1: like three years ago. And they got Voss in and
Speaker 1: he's kind of put a new culture in and they're
Speaker 1: killing it now and I think they're going to be
Speaker 1: definitely a team to be looking out for the next
Speaker 1: four years.
Speaker 3: So it's a credit to him.
Speaker 1: But yeah, looking from the other side of like missing
Speaker 1: out by point six percent, Like you're going crapmth food
Speaker 1: have had one more goal, two more goals in the season.
Speaker 3: Yeah, who knows.
Speaker 2: It's expectations that get you because going in, people's expectations
Speaker 2: are one thing, but when you get to eight and two,
Speaker 2: expectations changed. You're talking top four and the fall from
Speaker 2: grace from there. I think they lost seven of their
Speaker 2: last ten and miss out by point six percent. So
Speaker 2: it is rough. I was thinking a lot of people
Speaker 2: on my Twitter or whatever won't be they're not sympathetic.
Speaker 2: Pendals actually got asked if he feels feels for them,
Speaker 2: which he said no, not at all. So really savage
Speaker 2: from the skip, but I love it. This is what
Speaker 2: I want to ask you. So the rivalry between like clubs,
Speaker 2: so you know Collingwood, Carlton, West Coast Frio, you know
Speaker 2: they're scattered around the competition. Last week, heading into the
Speaker 2: showdown Port v Adelaide, Ollie Wines said a couple of
Speaker 2: things about the Adelaide Football Club being cocky and smug
Speaker 2: and all of those things, and it amplifies the game,
Speaker 2: makes the game more exciting. Keep the rivalry real because
Speaker 2: like what you were saying at the start, like it
Speaker 2: it becomes this watered down thing where it's like, well,
Speaker 2: I work with these guys, like we have business opportunities together.
Speaker 2: We're friends because we used to play together or whatever.
Speaker 1: With appearances together like COVID brought us all together, and
Speaker 1: since we all lived in the same place.
Speaker 2: Like yeah, yeah, so, but do you think they're still
Speaker 2: room to keep those rivalries alive? Say, Old, there is.
Speaker 3: I think the rivalry lives within the fans more than anything,
Speaker 3: because the fans make the rivalry with the hatred so real.
Speaker 2: But is there an obligation with the players talk some shit?
Speaker 1: Oh no, there is, don't get me wrong. Like we
Speaker 1: we do look at that game probably differently in others
Speaker 1: because it is it is our rival, like it is
Speaker 1: the history and everything else in the end, you know,
Speaker 1: the play, Like everything leading up to that game is
Speaker 1: like so big in the sense that like people talk about,
Speaker 1: you know, like a successful season is beating Carleton. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like and that's crazy to think, like you'd lose every
Speaker 1: other game. People like Coling supporters, some of them would
Speaker 1: be happy as long as you beat Carleton.
Speaker 3: It's like what the hell?
Speaker 1: Like, now a successful season won a Grand Final, Like
Speaker 1: what do you mean and I think like probably over
Speaker 1: the years, like from player perspective, maybe Mineuse I'm very
Speaker 1: different since I didn't grow up the AFL, I probably didn't
Speaker 1: have this, like understand the arch rivals of Carlton Collingwood.
Speaker 1: Now I do because I hear, but I see kind
Speaker 1: of like this this great hatred for each other and
Speaker 1: like this kind of you know, rivalry is a lot
Speaker 1: more for fans, I think, like, and we kind of
Speaker 1: play into it because we obviously pump up the game
Speaker 1: to be a game, because we treat every game as
Speaker 1: a game we want to win. But I think there's
Speaker 1: also like a little bit extra in those games because
Speaker 1: you want to make the fans proud, yeah, and you
Speaker 1: want to like show them like, you know, we're going
Speaker 1: to beat these people you hate so much and you
Speaker 1: support us through some of the good and the bad times,
Speaker 1: and we're going to give back to you by smashing
Speaker 1: these pricks. Like I think that's what players get. I
Speaker 1: think the motivation to try to beat a rival from yeah,
Speaker 1: because it's the energy in that place is different. I
Speaker 1: mean there's ninety thousand of the g Like you can
Speaker 1: obviously tell that, like there's more in that game than
Speaker 1: just another average game.
Speaker 2: And yeah, I think you're right because like even going
Speaker 2: through like I think social media took it to another
Speaker 2: level as well off the field, because it's you just
Speaker 2: talk so much trash and know it's one of them
Speaker 2: games that you don't want to like Collingwood is going
Speaker 2: to have that over Carlton for bare minimum the next
Speaker 2: time until they play.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so fans talk shit to like the other fan
Speaker 1: that's like, you know, the other family member that's Carlton,
Speaker 1: and the mom's Collingwood and the dad's Carlton, and they'll
Speaker 1: talk smack to each other for a year until you know,
Speaker 1: maybe the tides turn at some.
Speaker 2: Point and one thing they won't be able to talk
Speaker 2: smack about is what's your goalkicking form?
Speaker 3: God, dude, just lock one, would Brion? You know I
Speaker 3: feel about this.
Speaker 2: So you're probably absolutely tracking it but saying that you're
Speaker 2: not tracking it, But I reckon you've probably kicked the fire.
Speaker 2: I think you've probably kicked four or five like goalkicking
Speaker 2: games in a row, which leaves you on a career
Speaker 2: total of ninety nine goals for your entire career, right yep,
Speaker 2: So going into finals, you kick one more goal one
Speaker 2: hundred goals for your career. It's a massive achievement, is it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well now I kind of I don't even know
Speaker 3: until this whole Storm the G movement you told me about.
Speaker 2: That's what I want to bring up is storm the G.
Speaker 2: Every time we post anything onto TikTok, every comment is
Speaker 2: one does the does the Goat reply? I don't know
Speaker 2: why that's always at the top. Yeah, and number number
Speaker 2: two is hashtag storm the G. Can't wait to storm
Speaker 2: the G for Coxi's one hundredth goal.
Speaker 3: It's people saying it on the weekend.
Speaker 2: It's it's going everywhere.
Speaker 3: So the vibe, I actually don't mind it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So what do you feel about the movement? And
Speaker 2: does the coach know about it? Because I've heard yes.
Speaker 1: That's interesting. So after the game, Craig came up to
Speaker 1: me and he goes, did you kick a hundred goals today?
Speaker 1: And I go one off and he goes, oh, I
Speaker 1: heard there's a possibility that might be a storm the
Speaker 1: G movement.
Speaker 5: And I was like, Craig, are you on? Are you
Speaker 5: on TikTok? And he's like, hey, I know things. I
Speaker 5: was like, even the coaches aware. So it's a little
Speaker 5: bit outside pressure. It's a little bit outside pressure. Kick
Speaker 5: one hundred goals.
Speaker 2: Now one of those ghost profiles that's coming.
Speaker 1: Katie like his Durant's like, you know, fake profile. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm aware of it.
Speaker 3: I do know that there is a movement quote unquote
Speaker 3: in the social media sphere. You've told me about this,
Speaker 3: you brought it to light because I wasn't aware of
Speaker 3: these kind of things, but it is. It's interesting because
Speaker 3: we've said on this podcast before. You can go to
Speaker 3: previous catch ups about what I would do if someone storm.
Speaker 2: The g yes, and you said you would pretty much
Speaker 2: smash anyone that comes near you.
Speaker 3: I would murder someone, okay, yeah, Like I would tackle them,
Speaker 3: like I'm not.
Speaker 1: Going to stand there watch someone run by me. If
Speaker 1: someone's running by me, like I would just spear them
Speaker 1: into the ground.
Speaker 2: Equal rights, equal fights.
Speaker 3: Do you come in that boundary? Are you coming across
Speaker 3: that line of the boundary?
Speaker 1: You're in my field? Like you're in the arena baby,
Speaker 1: and it's going to be hell.
Speaker 2: Yeah, which we got We've got some good feedback at
Speaker 2: the time. But now that this is a real possibility.
Speaker 1: Well, this is different because it's kind of celebrating like,
Speaker 1: I guess an accomplishment of mine. Therefore, I kind of
Speaker 1: feel like a dick literally tackling someone who's like trying
Speaker 1: to celebrate with me, you said, And I feel like
Speaker 1: I shouldn't go back on my word. I have to
Speaker 1: say this for legal reasons. Probably I'm not encouraging anyone
Speaker 1: to around on the MCG because you will get probably
Speaker 1: arrested and find a heavy amount. But I will say this,
Speaker 1: if someone were to do it, and this is just
Speaker 1: a hypothetical, braiden', I'd probably take a selfie with him
Speaker 1: if they had a camera out or something like that,
Speaker 1: just have been fun whatever.
Speaker 3: Like.
Speaker 1: It also depends on the circumstance of the game and
Speaker 1: how serious the game is.
Speaker 3: If you're like, yeah, like.
Speaker 2: I'm not a jumper they're wearing if a geelong supported.
Speaker 1: Kid, you're getting the right fist, right fist to the
Speaker 1: fricking jaw. Yeah, I can't encourage these things, Braiden, but
Speaker 1: it is something I'm never going to do again. It
Speaker 1: is a once in a lifetime thing, so until you
Speaker 1: get to two hundred exactly. But two hundred doesn't sound
Speaker 1: nearly the schools one hundred. So yeah, I'm not encouraging this.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying I'm Switzerland in the matter, and I
Speaker 1: Am not going to say yes or no to either
Speaker 1: side of it.
Speaker 2: So you're almost you're averaging over a goal.
Speaker 3: Again, Brandon, you can't say these things. This is jinxing me.
Speaker 3: You just have to knock on Can you knock on
Speaker 3: the table please? I'm just saying, Okay, we'll move on
Speaker 3: to the next thing in footing now. Theres a guy
Speaker 3: named Jason Quist who's out of Chicago who's been tweeting
Speaker 3: about what the f AFL is. And this is the
Speaker 3: whole thing.
Speaker 1: We've been sprinkling a little bit of a tease about
Speaker 1: what we might be doing in this this fear and
Speaker 1: I think out hopefully in the next couple of weeks.
Speaker 1: But he's trying to learn what the game is. There's
Speaker 1: a bunch of stuff on Twitter, and I've told people
Speaker 1: in America that AFL makes no sense over there. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: trying to explain this someone else is.
Speaker 3: Like literally trying to explain the most ridiculous foreign sport
Speaker 3: you'll never hear of. And it's very, very hard.
Speaker 1: But the AFL jumped on board and he's trying to
Speaker 1: understand a few things you know, from the center bounce
Speaker 1: and throwing the ball over your shoulder from an umpire,
Speaker 1: and it just is it's funny to see Americans try
Speaker 1: to jump on because they have no clue, no idea
Speaker 1: what I.
Speaker 2: FL is no, And they try to relate it to
Speaker 2: other sports they've seen, and it's a sprinkling of everything.
Speaker 2: Like there's a bit of punting in there. There's a
Speaker 2: bit of basketball with the with the bounce in the middle,
Speaker 2: which is a direct relation. No, which is actually funny
Speaker 2: because he's put down an example of like the first
Speaker 2: center bounce and it's you kicking pitt net out of
Speaker 2: rug bands at a seven bounce, so he.
Speaker 3: Could bounced up all straight. I would have been right
Speaker 3: under it.
Speaker 2: Oh that's pretty straight. So you've got form in kicking people.
Speaker 2: Are you gonna keep doing that?
Speaker 3: Or I shouldn't have been standing there.
Speaker 1: Now, the IFL did review it and they a okayed it,
Speaker 1: so apparently it's all right.
Speaker 3: Oh, I mean, I mean there's a free kick against it.
Speaker 3: Don't get me wrong. It's just not findable, I guess, so.
Speaker 2: That might be a new thing if they make a rule.
Speaker 3: You did, I mean, you got to think the standing
Speaker 3: in the mic rules a Mason Cox rule.
Speaker 2: That's pretty cool.
Speaker 3: So I'm changing the I f L for the better
Speaker 3: or worse, I'm not really sure, but so.
Speaker 2: Going through a few of Jason's tweets, his very first
Speaker 2: one was, Hey, AFL, don't take this the wrong way,
Speaker 2: but Ossie rules football is one of the most incomprehensible
Speaker 2: games I've ever seen in my life, and I'm determined
Speaker 2: to figure it out with this Twitter thread, I just
Speaker 2: want you to know I'm doing my best.
Speaker 3: That's essentially Please don't make fun of me, Please don't
Speaker 3: bury me.
Speaker 2: So but good first game to watch. He's talking about
Speaker 2: kicking goals. He's talking about the umpire throwing the ball
Speaker 2: from a ball in, which is obviously confusing if you
Speaker 2: don't know what it is. He talked about AJ's banana
Speaker 2: double double bender as he's quoted here from the Boundary,
Speaker 2: and said that he severely under celebrated it. Really just
Speaker 2: a little hands to the year, turn it out lit
Speaker 2: high five. Yeah, he didn't really go ballistic. But then
Speaker 2: all caps, Oh my god, what a tremendous finish. So
Speaker 2: he's tuned in.
Speaker 3: He's done the full thing.
Speaker 1: So it's like, yeah, I think this guy's probably five
Speaker 1: am back home once the Saint finished, because Mom and
Speaker 1: dad watched it, and I was like, they sent me
Speaker 1: a message. I think at the clock was like four
Speaker 1: point thirty or something. But Mom and dad, of course
Speaker 1: they watched the game, they watched the postgame show, they
Speaker 1: watched the pregame show on Sunday or on Monday morning,
Speaker 1: covering the whole weekend. Then he watched the Saint Kilda game.
Speaker 1: I think after my dad, like, my dad does not
Speaker 1: sleep when it comes to game day.
Speaker 2: I'm surprised he's not getting getting the phone line into
Speaker 2: call up like Sea in radio and oh hees.
Speaker 1: Yes, Nolan has too. My brother has too, like he's
Speaker 1: he's done it. Like whenever I was in contract talks,
Speaker 1: I was like, I'll tell the story. Seen that calls up,
Speaker 1: you know, and they're talking to Nolan. They won the
Speaker 1: national tournament, the USIFL Nationals, and they know it's they
Speaker 1: know it's not on yeah, and I was like, no
Speaker 1: one's talking to them about that, blah blah bah. And
Speaker 1: I was up for contract, so like they were sitting
Speaker 1: there and like no one really knew kind of where
Speaker 1: my contract was sitting and I'm sitting next to my
Speaker 1: brother at a fire and he's literally on this phone
Speaker 1: and we're at this lake house and they're asking all
Speaker 1: these questions about the USAFL and all that, you know,
Speaker 1: and they're like, oh, is there any chance like Mason's around,
Speaker 1: you know, like we won't ask him some questions about this,
Speaker 1: And I like kind of sternly told him, like I'm
Speaker 1: not going to get involved in this. So I'm sitting
Speaker 1: there next to him, and I hear I can hear
Speaker 1: the phone. I can hear them saying that, and he's like, Nah, no,
Speaker 1: he's he's in the bathroom or something. He's like, he's
Speaker 1: in the other room, he's not here, blah blah blah.
Speaker 1: And they're like, oh, we love to get on. He's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't think so, like they said. And I like
Speaker 1: sitting next to him, and I remember talking to like
Speaker 1: Whitely or something like this, and he was just like
Speaker 1: I told the story and he's like, yeah, the feeling
Speaker 1: you're pretty clesty.
Speaker 3: Of course, I'm not going to give you.
Speaker 2: I've never heard of the gues're not even related. So quickly,
Speaker 2: just before we wrap up, because we're running long, we
Speaker 2: said it was going to be.
Speaker 3: Took some time.
Speaker 2: So projecting forward for the first final playing Geelong last
Speaker 2: time you met, I don't This is another Muslim kind
Speaker 2: of like putting some bad stuff in your in your mind.
Speaker 2: But last time you versed them.
Speaker 3: I didn't play it.
Speaker 2: So you were really on top though. Us three quarter
Speaker 2: time you're up by thirty points. That's a monster and
Speaker 2: they you kicked you the Royal Collingwood kicked one point
Speaker 2: in the last They steamrolled home ended up winning by
Speaker 2: about ten points. How has the team grown? Well, one
Speaker 2: you're in, but how do you think that you've grown
Speaker 2: since then? It's completely different.
Speaker 3: It is.
Speaker 1: There's a few guys that have come in and out
Speaker 1: of the squad since then, and it is going to
Speaker 1: be an interesting game. I think it'd be a great game,
Speaker 1: to be honest, and we get a home final, which
Speaker 1: is kind of funny. But we played with the mcg
Speaker 1: and they were playing Geelong and their number one spots.
Speaker 2: So it's the being popular because.
Speaker 3: If it's being but I think it it's a financial reason.
Speaker 1: I think John plays it there because they want the
Speaker 1: money from mcc and everything else because they can fit
Speaker 1: so much. Yeah, they can only fit so many people
Speaker 1: in Geelong. Don't quote me on that.
Speaker 2: I'm not sure, but I think it'll change once their
Speaker 2: stands and finish.
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe you're not really sure, but there's a contract
Speaker 1: that they play every game with the MCG, so we
Speaker 1: kind of locked out in that sense as far as
Speaker 1: the venue.
Speaker 3: But yeah, there's been a lot of people come in.
Speaker 1: Like I think the biggest thing is like these young
Speaker 1: guys who've brought into our team have played a full
Speaker 1: season now and they're kind of more confident and they
Speaker 1: have an idea kind of what ANFL is in the
Speaker 1: standard that they have to play at and everything else
Speaker 1: that I think our team's quite different than that first
Speaker 1: that was maybe like rounds like it was before round ten.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was like three or four.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I look at that team and compared it
Speaker 1: to the nowity team that I can be able to
Speaker 1: close out games and everything else, and I feel like
Speaker 1: we're a very much more mature team in a sense
Speaker 1: that we've handled the situations of being, you know, whether
Speaker 1: it be up or down a three quarter time, being
Speaker 1: able to finish out a game. So I think in
Speaker 1: that sense we're very different. But yeah, I mean, like
Speaker 1: freaking hell, like Geelong's they've been the best all year
Speaker 1: a long shot.
Speaker 2: I feel like I don't mind the underdog status and
Speaker 2: I don't mind getting them first up. You got the
Speaker 2: double chance, get them first up and haven't just a
Speaker 2: crack at it, and then you're the best. You beat
Speaker 2: the best, Yeah, one hundred percent. So you want to
Speaker 2: be versing them now rather than to get into the
Speaker 2: Grand Final. So I reckon it's good to have a
Speaker 2: crack now, and I think that'll play on their minds
Speaker 2: in two ways that Like, I feel like Collingwood now,
Speaker 2: if you're thirty up at three quarter a time, you're
Speaker 2: much better last quarter team Now.
Speaker 1: Yeah we're up quite a bit at halftime. Yeah, blew
Speaker 1: the lead in the third quarter and they came back.
Speaker 1: So it's I don't know, it's we're the fuck. You
Speaker 1: can never really count us out. You can never really
Speaker 1: understand where we're at. I guess from that standpoint, we've
Speaker 1: learned throughout the year.
Speaker 2: But the confidence is, there's action built confidence. Now you've
Speaker 2: done it.
Speaker 1: There's a bit of a resume of confidence of us
Speaker 1: being able to win games like I mean, the streak
Speaker 1: and everything else, but like Geelong won like ten or
Speaker 1: eleven or twelve where it was in a row. I
Speaker 1: don't know what they're at now, and.
Speaker 2: So that that confidence, that action built confidence wouldn't have
Speaker 2: been there in round three. Yeah, you're coming off a
Speaker 2: couple of wins, which would have been good, but like now,
Speaker 2: you know you can perform in the last last quarter
Speaker 2: and the results are there.
Speaker 3: So they've got I mean, their team's got the career.
Speaker 1: I think of some players that have played in big game,
Speaker 1: like big games, and they've got you know, like that
Speaker 1: many games. Someone would to compare to the games played
Speaker 1: compared to ours, I guarantee you they'd be almost double.
Speaker 3: Their list is forty.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so it's so it's one of those things where
Speaker 1: I think they've got the experience. Will be an interesting
Speaker 1: kind of youth versus experience. I guess, like kind of
Speaker 1: game we do have always some same experienced people. But
Speaker 1: from a comparative standpoint how many games played, I would
Speaker 1: say they've got a speed by fair amount.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Remember early career, you and Harry Taylor lining up a
Speaker 2: few times.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, Harry Taylor is the legend. He's actually
Speaker 1: a really nice fellow. Don't say that.
Speaker 3: Just actually, Harry Taylor.
Speaker 1: I remember one one experience I'll talking about Harry Taylor, right,
Speaker 1: he was playing defense on me as well the first games.
Speaker 1: Actually Gelong tried to get stuck into me once. I
Speaker 1: think I kicked three on them on the day. But
Speaker 1: Harry Taylor, very like in the Aurey you know, like Simon,
Speaker 1: you know, starts the game, he's just you know, he
Speaker 1: turns into that kind of hard nursed person, right, but
Speaker 1: then like once a sorry goes, he's actually one of
Speaker 1: the nicest humans you'll ever meet. And I remember this, well,
Speaker 1: Harry's done now, so he's not going to probably take
Speaker 1: offense to this, but taking a mark on a lead
Speaker 1: like kind of one hand and stuff, and he was
Speaker 1: like dive and try to punch it out of my hands.
Speaker 1: And I remember I kicked the goal and I went
Speaker 1: back and lined up and he was like great mirks mate.
Speaker 3: And I was like, you're good, dude. It was because
Speaker 3: some people are assholes f you this that and yeah
Speaker 3: blah blah blah. He was just like just super colms
Speaker 3: like great mIRC man.
Speaker 2: Harry Taylor had too. So that's leg absolutely good respect
Speaker 2: getting it from Harry Taylor. So before we wrap things up,
Speaker 2: we love the fan questions, we love the community. Uh,
Speaker 2: And we got this one from Jaden bear Ow nine.
Speaker 2: It's a bit of a question of the week because
Speaker 2: I want to give it a bit of time. It's
Speaker 2: a bit of a hot topic take. But Dane Zorco
Speaker 2: uh not sure on the specifics around what he said
Speaker 2: to Petty from Melbourne, but there was some comments made
Speaker 2: during the game that you know, Petty reacted to. He
Speaker 2: was in tears during the three quarter time break. He
Speaker 2: wants to know what's your kind of read on on
Speaker 2: the Zorco situation.
Speaker 1: It was interesting that live broadcasts actually picked it up.
Speaker 1: That was I was kind of blown away that they
Speaker 1: actually picked up with that he was actually in tears
Speaker 1: because a lot of times you can probably hide it
Speaker 1: or something like that, but they picked it up. They
Speaker 1: made a thing of it like three quarter time, and
Speaker 1: that was something that essentially people came out of the
Speaker 1: game asking questions about it.
Speaker 2: And I don't think it's a thing on the media
Speaker 2: because it's like.
Speaker 1: Now, I was just I was actually like kind of
Speaker 1: amazed that they picked it up because you usually wouldn't
Speaker 1: you wouldn't know that thing, like you wouldn't kind.
Speaker 3: Of see it, yeah, and it was wild.
Speaker 1: Like like I said, we don't know the details of
Speaker 1: what was said, but it probably comes back to is
Speaker 1: there a line that you can't cross when it comes
Speaker 1: to talking smack on the field, Like I remember I
Speaker 1: came to this country and I didn't quite understand, like
Speaker 1: you go into the boundary, you know, like you play
Speaker 1: this game, like people talk trash and give each other
Speaker 1: shit and everything else, you know. And I've never had
Speaker 1: two bad of a sledge I guess, but like sledging
Speaker 1: is part of AFL, and I think there's never been
Speaker 1: an understanding of a line that's been drawn of what's
Speaker 1: it okay inappropriate, what's not? And I don't know what
Speaker 1: was said, but I assume that line was crossed on
Speaker 1: the weekend. The one thing I'll say is looking back
Speaker 1: at the game, the cool thing about it and that
Speaker 1: not the cool thing, but the thing I was quite
Speaker 1: proud of was Max Goon Stephen May coming up and
Speaker 1: supporting him and like telling Zorko off after the game
Speaker 1: is saying like, yeah, that's not okay. And I think
Speaker 1: he is a player will have to know that his
Speaker 1: like his brothers in arms and his his teammates have
Speaker 1: his back, like that will bring that group even tighter
Speaker 1: now after that situation, and that's that's a credit to
Speaker 1: Maxican as the leader. Stephen may is one of the
Speaker 1: leaders in the back line and and everyone else that
Speaker 1: you know, like confronted Zorco and also consoled him on
Speaker 1: the other end of it.
Speaker 3: And there is definitely a line.
Speaker 1: And like I said, we don't know the details of
Speaker 1: what was said, but I assume it was definitely crossed
Speaker 1: by the way that reacted because I know Maxicon's a
Speaker 1: pretty pretty smart guy and a guy that people respecting.
Speaker 1: The way he reacted would make me almost feel uncomfortable
Speaker 1: with probably what was said.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think Melbourne handled it really well, really professionally,
Speaker 2: came out and addressed it at after the game straight
Speaker 2: They addressed it on the field after the game and
Speaker 2: said like these are he said something towards his family
Speaker 2: and that it was addressed and Melbourne went and notified
Speaker 2: Brisbane that it had happened, so like it was done officially,
Speaker 2: like there was there was superbags.
Speaker 1: I didn't get dragged out, yeah, because no one knows
Speaker 1: what all sad, So then people are going to speculates.
Speaker 2: Going into finals and stuff you kind of want to
Speaker 2: as serious as it is, you want to investigate it,
Speaker 2: find out what happened and get through it. But yeah,
Speaker 2: I thought it was really professionally handled by Melbourne. I
Speaker 2: was a bit disappointed in Brisbane's reaction, to be honest,
Speaker 2: to be like, oh.
Speaker 1: Where, well, a it's a tough position to be and
Speaker 1: saying your captain said something they shouldn't have, Like yeah,
Speaker 1: it's yeah, it's something you want to deal with.
Speaker 3: You have to. You have to, you have to, you
Speaker 3: have to come out and make a statement or something
Speaker 3: like that happens.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was just you know, Zorko's half hearted, like
Speaker 2: written apology that seemed like it was from someone else
Speaker 2: from my own opinion, and then Brisbane obviously just saying
Speaker 2: we're getting around our boy, and it's like, well, people
Speaker 2: don't really want to hear that at the moment, Like
Speaker 2: they don't really care about Dane z Oorco's feelings, to
Speaker 2: be honest, Like he's come out and said something pretty
Speaker 2: from reports from the Herald Sun and we won't go
Speaker 2: into him, but like he's come out and said something
Speaker 2: pretty disgusting and it's like, yeah, of course they're going
Speaker 2: to support their boy. Because he's from Brisbane. But I
Speaker 2: just think, is there kind of like a player's code
Speaker 2: on this that you come out and kind of condemn it,
Speaker 2: Like you can't just go like, oh, what happens on
Speaker 2: the field stays on the field, blah blah blah.
Speaker 1: Like it's a blurry line. It definitely is, because you don't.
Speaker 1: The thing is you want to add fuel to the fire.
Speaker 1: I'm sure Patty wants to move on from this and
Speaker 1: he wants to focus on finals and he doesn't want
Speaker 1: to have to dreel up, and yet we're talking about
Speaker 1: a podcast because I think it's important. But I think
Speaker 1: it's one of those things like, yeah, there is a
Speaker 1: ploys unwritten rule I want to say in this and
Speaker 1: I think you'll know by the way teammates react to
Speaker 1: it and the person themselves. Like I mean, we live
Speaker 1: in a society now that you have to be aware
Speaker 1: of what comes out of yours public and what comes
Speaker 1: out of your mouth can be you know, like you know,
Speaker 1: be taken in a different way depending on who you're
Speaker 1: talking to, and like you know, it's it's one of
Speaker 1: those things you have to be you have to be
Speaker 1: more aware of what you're saying in today and like
Speaker 1: I think probably ten fifteen, twenty years, like this.
Speaker 2: Would not even be a thing, would have been free game.
Speaker 1: It would have been free game. And like now nowadays
Speaker 1: with the way society is, like you can't do these things,
Speaker 1: like it's just not appropriate and there's the AFL is
Speaker 1: not going to stand for it, like and the teams aren't.
Speaker 1: The players aren't either. So it is one of those
Speaker 1: things like times have changed and you got to change
Speaker 1: with them. So yeah, that's that's probably as much as
Speaker 1: I'll say on it. Like it is kind of an
Speaker 1: interesting thing because obviously you just kind of want to
Speaker 1: move on. But there is a there is an unwritten
Speaker 1: players code.
Speaker 2: I'd say one thing to lighten the move before we
Speaker 2: finish up. So calling an opponent a bitch after you
Speaker 2: kick a goal, is that? Is that? Okay, you're a goad?
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, I know.
Speaker 1: I you know, I'm not going to confirm that because
Speaker 1: you cannot confirm that I did not say those words
Speaker 1: I said, big dog.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like stuff big dog. I looked like I
Speaker 3: said something else, but I didn't.
Speaker 1: Maybe I did. I don't know, Maybe you'll confirm it
Speaker 1: did not. Yeah, I mean there's there's certain things I
Speaker 1: think in the moment of the game. You know, you
Speaker 1: talk about the trash here and there, you can say
Speaker 1: someone was a shit kick and a terrible person, whoever
Speaker 1: it is. But then there's certain things you just don't touch.
Speaker 2: Don't mind it. And you got a Jack in the
Speaker 2: bucks win on the weekend or so, it was like
Speaker 2: a big jacket the bus.
Speaker 3: I said next time on the game.
Speaker 2: Difference between top four.
Speaker 3: Just saying jack in the box is getting us to
Speaker 3: the top four. Jack in the bus from Mason Cocks.
Speaker 3: We'll go to the last thing. Last thing.
Speaker 1: Someone else wanted to ask about this, Alisha Clarkson going
Speaker 1: to Tuzzy sorry, going to North Melbourne. Tusy Boysy boy
Speaker 1: could in North Melbourn. I thought it was kind of
Speaker 1: ironic that the guy who's probably at the head of
Speaker 1: this push to move the team to Tasmania is now
Speaker 1: the head coach. I mean, if I'm a North Malvern supporter,
Speaker 1: I'm glad I've got Alistair Clarkson on my side. Don't
Speaker 1: get me wrong, He's probably gonna turn that team around,
Speaker 1: but also pretty worried that they're probably gonna end up
Speaker 1: in Tasmania. Because this guy's going to keep pushing it
Speaker 1: with the board.
Speaker 2: Hey, he on the couch last night. He said that
Speaker 2: there's no conflict of interest there, so he's still allowed
Speaker 2: to represent Team Tazzy.
Speaker 3: So watch this space. It's going to be very interesting.
Speaker 1: I'm assuming everyone else put that together, but I was
Speaker 1: just like, whenever I heard it, I was like, that
Speaker 1: was the first thing I thought of. I go for
Speaker 1: all the talk that's been the North Melbourne, to go
Speaker 1: to Tazzi and then then to put Alistair Clarkson as
Speaker 1: the coach. It's going to be an interesting few years
Speaker 1: coming up.
Speaker 3: We'll say that.
Speaker 1: But all the best Allison Crson, well done obviously he
Speaker 1: was did well and well renowned coach who has been
Speaker 1: chased out for about many other people and it's cool
Speaker 1: to see him back in the in the AFL.
Speaker 2: All the best to North. The only way is up right.
Speaker 3: Anyway.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna I'm not going to just fuel that fire, Bradon.
Speaker 1: But that is the Mason Cox Show. In the catch up,
