I've 0:01:09.480 --> 0:01:12.399 been up to nothing, just working as per usual, so 0:01:12.720 --> 0:01:14.600 not a lot has changed there. What have you been 0:01:14.680 --> 0:01:17.280 up to because I it's probably easier to just say 0:01:17.319 --> 0:01:18.160 what you haven't done. 0:01:18.280 --> 0:01:19.440 Yeah, because looking at. 0:01:19.319 --> 0:01:23.120 The list here, you have been to every sport around 0:01:23.200 --> 0:01:25.240 the globe. Tell us what you've been up to. 0:01:25.319 --> 0:01:30.600 I've one f one, NBA, NFL, NHL live golf over 0:01:30.640 --> 0:01:33.080 in Miami, which is a wild time where you broke 0:01:33.120 --> 0:01:36.440 a stage with Fisher performing in a weekend. That's a 0:01:36.480 --> 0:01:39.480 whole story with it itself we'll get into. But awesome 0:01:39.520 --> 0:01:41.280 time did a bunch of sport and everything else. Brotherly 0:01:41.319 --> 0:01:42.959 got married to Win, celebrated with them for a bit. 0:01:43.800 --> 0:01:46.440 The marriage that has already occurred that I missed because 0:01:46.480 --> 0:01:47.240 of forty season. 0:01:47.280 --> 0:01:48.400 You rocked up for the celebration. 0:01:48.880 --> 0:01:51.000 The celebrations right, and then mom and dad had their 0:01:51.000 --> 0:01:53.040 fortieth wedding anniversary. Shout out to mom and dad. We 0:01:53.080 --> 0:01:55.960 love the mom and Dad's on this podcast. And yeah, 0:01:56.160 --> 0:01:58.720 just traveled the world man that was at the Australian Open. 0:01:58.800 --> 0:02:01.080 And then Tom Brady was around, so I said hi 0:02:01.160 --> 0:02:04.120 to him. And it's been a bit on Braiden, been here, 0:02:04.120 --> 0:02:05.520 there and everywhere, but in a good way. 0:02:05.920 --> 0:02:08.839 Is it does any cashis come out when it's when 0:02:08.919 --> 0:02:11.000 the sports season in Melbourne or no. 0:02:11.240 --> 0:02:14.799 Unfortunately, the cash just falls off a cliff after I'm 0:02:14.800 --> 0:02:17.840 done with footy and then it's more experiences I'm given, 0:02:17.880 --> 0:02:20.440 which is awesome. I still love it. It's insane, right, like 0:02:20.840 --> 0:02:23.880 to meet these people that you know are legends of 0:02:23.919 --> 0:02:25.600 the game. Why people like Tom Brady is the gross 0:02:25.639 --> 0:02:27.640 of all time whenever it comes to NFL. Right, Like, 0:02:28.000 --> 0:02:30.160 to meet these kind of people and be interacting with 0:02:30.200 --> 0:02:31.880 them and just to be part of this experience. I 0:02:31.919 --> 0:02:33.840 just never thought my life would really happen, So it 0:02:33.880 --> 0:02:36.080 kind of makes you pinch yourself of like, what in 0:02:36.120 --> 0:02:37.480 the world is my life now. 0:02:37.600 --> 0:02:40.239 I did see someone mention I get the height thing 0:02:40.320 --> 0:02:43.200 when you're standing next to Tom Brady and he just 0:02:43.240 --> 0:02:46.280 looks like a normal dude because you're towering over him. 0:02:46.280 --> 0:02:48.440 I get like a little bit of the attraction for 0:02:48.520 --> 0:02:51.359 the tall guys out there. It made sense, But let's 0:02:51.639 --> 0:02:53.800 dive into some of them, because you just touched on 0:02:53.840 --> 0:02:55.600 all of them. But you went over there. 0:02:55.840 --> 0:03:01.120 Vegas one one inaugural Formula one in Vegas, tell. 0:03:01.000 --> 0:03:03.200 Us about the experience because you went with your brother, 0:03:03.240 --> 0:03:05.800 who gets to just chain along. He's on your coattails. 0:03:05.960 --> 0:03:07.440 He's like, as soon as you get to miss his 0:03:07.480 --> 0:03:09.040 own to be the most pissed off person in the 0:03:09.040 --> 0:03:11.280 world because all my plus one privileges just go out 0:03:11.280 --> 0:03:14.280 the windows. He's waiting for that day and it's not 0:03:14.280 --> 0:03:15.919 gonna be a great one. But we did go to 0:03:15.960 --> 0:03:18.040 the f one we had KO helped us out with. 0:03:18.080 --> 0:03:20.200 That got us some like media passes. We weren't really 0:03:20.200 --> 0:03:22.560 sure what these media passes, you know, would get us 0:03:22.600 --> 0:03:24.680 access to it, and didn't give any information where we 0:03:24.760 --> 0:03:27.400 had picked them up. So it's the first time, right, 0:03:27.440 --> 0:03:29.120 So with the first time with anything, no one's really 0:03:29.120 --> 0:03:31.079 one hundred percent sure what's going on. So we kind 0:03:31.080 --> 0:03:33.720 of made this agreeance between my brother and I that 0:03:33.840 --> 0:03:36.400 we just had to do everything with the utmost confidence, 0:03:36.720 --> 0:03:39.720 walk head first into things, don't make eye contact with anyone, 0:03:39.800 --> 0:03:41.880 just act like you're supposed to be there, right, And 0:03:41.920 --> 0:03:44.040 that got us a good standing because we at one 0:03:44.040 --> 0:03:45.840 point we're on pit Lane, there was no one else there. 0:03:45.880 --> 0:03:48.080 We had a dinky iPhone acting like we're a media 0:03:48.160 --> 0:03:50.720 filming content and we were rolling around like looking like 0:03:50.760 --> 0:03:53.160 we're doing shoies in front of Daniel Ricardo's garage and 0:03:53.200 --> 0:03:55.400 we were rolling around this whole place and we're you know, Chetting, 0:03:55.440 --> 0:03:57.480 Oscar Pastree and all these other people are part of 0:03:57.480 --> 0:03:59.400 the F one and James Corden comes up and says hi, 0:03:59.440 --> 0:04:02.080 and yeah, then you got you know, Gordon Ramsay comes 0:04:02.120 --> 0:04:04.440 and says, hogs us in Melbourne shooting food Stars is 0:04:04.440 --> 0:04:06.400 about to come out. Whole thing and it was just 0:04:06.440 --> 0:04:09.760 a crazy experience for a weekend of like all access 0:04:10.080 --> 0:04:12.800 to an F one in Vegas, and you can imagine 0:04:13.280 --> 0:04:15.240 there was a little bit of partying here and there. 0:04:15.280 --> 0:04:18.400 Maybe I don't know, but maybe a beer two right, 0:04:18.440 --> 0:04:21.880 maybe it's Vegas, right. Yeah. It was a good time though, 0:04:22.000 --> 0:04:24.000 and it was epic, man like I love the F 0:04:24.040 --> 0:04:26.359 once coming to Melbourne here soon obviously for the for 0:04:26.440 --> 0:04:28.800 the race, and it was just so cool. It's just 0:04:28.839 --> 0:04:31.560 like the entertainment capital of the world and there was 0:04:31.640 --> 0:04:33.919 that many DJs and everything else playing and it was 0:04:34.040 --> 0:04:36.200 just it was insane, like one of the nts. Yes, 0:04:36.240 --> 0:04:38.000 I didn't go to sleep, I will admit it. 0:04:38.080 --> 0:04:40.320 Because they had that thing where they had to shut 0:04:40.360 --> 0:04:42.400 it down because of the manhole cost. 0:04:42.560 --> 0:04:44.240 And it tore a part of Ferrari. This is a 0:04:44.279 --> 0:04:47.240 digital drama behind that and having to fix it asap 0:04:47.279 --> 0:04:50.200 and then then Max Versapan got you know, penalty and 0:04:50.200 --> 0:04:52.000 he fell behind. This It was a it was an 0:04:52.040 --> 0:04:54.839 amazing weekend, right, everything you could ask for from like 0:04:54.960 --> 0:04:59.880 stories and headlines and everything else awesome, so much fun stuff. 0:04:59.880 --> 0:05:01.480 So always kicking off in the f ones and then 0:05:01.520 --> 0:05:03.280 you rolled over to the NHL. 0:05:04.040 --> 0:05:05.640 Well, I did the NFL and the NHL on the 0:05:05.640 --> 0:05:09.200 same day. NHL I did it night, and NFL we 0:05:09.240 --> 0:05:11.080 did during the day. So we did the Chargers during 0:05:11.080 --> 0:05:13.120 the day at like one o'clock and then the NHL 0:05:13.279 --> 0:05:15.120 like six thirty or seven pm. So we did two 0:05:15.120 --> 0:05:17.559 in one day. So to stop over in LA about 0:05:17.560 --> 0:05:19.839 twenty four hours, go to two sports and then the 0:05:19.839 --> 0:05:21.720 next morning I flew back out to Australia. 0:05:21.800 --> 0:05:23.880 So you were on their social channels, weren't you. 0:05:24.440 --> 0:05:27.760 Yeah yeah, so I reckon, that's crazy and that's. 0:05:27.720 --> 0:05:30.400 Two and two. Like you've been back here, you're on 0:05:30.440 --> 0:05:33.800 the LA Kings Socials. It was you went to the 0:05:33.880 --> 0:05:35.080 f ones in Melbourne. 0:05:35.200 --> 0:05:37.880 Yeah, say, there was a puck drop in Melbourne before 0:05:37.920 --> 0:05:39.320 the Grand Final that I had to do. And the 0:05:39.400 --> 0:05:41.800 story is like it's the game final week, right, I've 0:05:41.800 --> 0:05:43.360 got plenty on They're like you could do a puck 0:05:43.440 --> 0:05:45.120 drop for the NHL. Right, they got this kind of 0:05:45.320 --> 0:05:47.480 international game they're doing. I was like, yeah, that sounds 0:05:47.520 --> 0:05:49.640 like fun. So I go there, I do this puck drop, 0:05:49.680 --> 0:05:52.160 and I kid you not. This is the week of 0:05:52.200 --> 0:05:54.760 the Grand Final, and as we know, everyone hates Collingwood players. 0:05:54.760 --> 0:05:56.840 So I've gone out there. We're in a grand final. 0:05:56.839 --> 0:05:59.520 Everyone's rooting again barri King against us. So I still 0:05:59.520 --> 0:06:00.960 get my turn and Algy I don't want to go 0:06:01.000 --> 0:06:03.920 down that. And I'm sitting here with the park and 0:06:03.960 --> 0:06:05.400 I walk out and I'm on this. You know, you're 0:06:05.440 --> 0:06:08.800 on the carpet, and I walked the wrong way. It's 0:06:08.839 --> 0:06:10.480 not like there's twenty thousand people there to tell me 0:06:10.520 --> 0:06:13.560 I'm a dumbass. Back the other way. Now, I shake 0:06:13.640 --> 0:06:15.320 someone's hand, acting like I was trying to be polite, 0:06:15.360 --> 0:06:16.600 but really I'm trying to figure out where the hell 0:06:16.600 --> 0:06:19.680 do code next? And you've got the I've got the park, 0:06:19.720 --> 0:06:21.360 I've got the thing to start the whole damn thing. 0:06:21.560 --> 0:06:22.960 Then the two players there, I'm like, okay, I think 0:06:22.960 --> 0:06:24.560 it's supposed to be hearing between them. And then I'm 0:06:24.600 --> 0:06:26.440 sitting there about to drop the pock and all I 0:06:26.480 --> 0:06:32.200 hear is is this echoing of you suck colorhood sucks, 0:06:32.680 --> 0:06:36.000 gift just going off on me and the two players 0:06:36.040 --> 0:06:37.960 who went to the prelimb because they got both the 0:06:38.000 --> 0:06:40.239 hockey teams the other the prelimb where we beat WS 0:06:40.279 --> 0:06:42.279 by point. They're like, AFL is the most insane sport 0:06:42.279 --> 0:06:44.120 I've ever heard. They loved it, and they kind of 0:06:44.120 --> 0:06:46.760 both looked at me, like, Jesus, this town really fucking 0:06:46.760 --> 0:06:50.960 hate you. So confused, so confused. It was a good 0:06:51.000 --> 0:06:52.520 time that now I got to see all those people 0:06:52.520 --> 0:06:54.280 again in LA got to go behind the scenes of 0:06:54.320 --> 0:06:57.800 Crypto Arena, which is insane, really cool. And the La 0:06:57.920 --> 0:06:59.320 rams looked after me too, which was sick. 0:06:59.480 --> 0:07:02.160 And now we're jumping all over the shit because this 0:07:02.240 --> 0:07:05.320 is this is here, there and everywhere. But let's go 0:07:05.440 --> 0:07:07.440 back to the U s a FL because you did 0:07:07.440 --> 0:07:09.880 that again, which you love doing, love doing. 0:07:09.920 --> 0:07:10.280 Love for me. 0:07:10.920 --> 0:07:11.880 What happened over there. 0:07:12.040 --> 0:07:14.840 My brother won another championship, so he's you know. The 0:07:14.880 --> 0:07:17.120 good thing is though now he can't say this one 0:07:17.120 --> 0:07:19.600 thing that's really pissed me off for the last few years. 0:07:19.760 --> 0:07:22.720 You're the only brother that's not a premiership player. So 0:07:22.760 --> 0:07:24.360 as soon as I won the premiership, that was one 0:07:24.400 --> 0:07:25.680 of the first things I said to him, I said, 0:07:25.720 --> 0:07:27.240 you can stop fucking saying. 0:07:27.400 --> 0:07:29.120 And then he got pissed off. Now he's pissed up. 0:07:30.400 --> 0:07:32.640 Yeah he's got He's got like six or seven now, 0:07:32.760 --> 0:07:34.080 so he's got a few up on me. I think 0:07:34.120 --> 0:07:35.920 there are medals are probably a little bit nicer. 0:07:36.200 --> 0:07:38.600 Surely he's getting closer to a time and you're giving 0:07:38.680 --> 0:07:41.080 him the nudge. Come on, mate, He's almost forty. 0:07:41.120 --> 0:07:43.200 He was thirty six now, so he's he's getting there. 0:07:43.200 --> 0:07:45.720 He's about to turn thirty seven. Yeah, he's married now. 0:07:45.760 --> 0:07:48.400 I think everything the time goes into the wife and 0:07:48.680 --> 0:07:51.520 hopefully the kid in the future. But yeah, USAFL is 0:07:51.520 --> 0:07:53.000 epic over there. And then we did the live golf 0:07:53.040 --> 0:07:55.200 and was hanging out with camp Smith and some connections 0:07:55.200 --> 0:07:57.480 over there, which is pretty cool and just epic. Like 0:07:57.520 --> 0:07:59.679 I'm not very good at golf, but the live golf 0:07:59.760 --> 0:08:01.840 was quite an experience. At one point I was hanging 0:08:01.880 --> 0:08:04.600 out in Trump's box. He wasn't there. Donald Trump wasn't there, 0:08:04.680 --> 0:08:06.960 don't get me wrong, But I was drinking his piss 0:08:06.960 --> 0:08:08.800 and eating his food. So I felt like my tax 0:08:08.840 --> 0:08:10.800 dollars I've spent over the last few years have gone 0:08:10.840 --> 0:08:11.280 to good use. 0:08:11.280 --> 0:08:13.000 Now that's good. You get it back, You get it 0:08:13.040 --> 0:08:15.960 all back. How many shoeies did you do in the States? 0:08:16.280 --> 0:08:18.000 I had to do it at least one if you 0:08:18.000 --> 0:08:18.600 didn't do one. 0:08:18.720 --> 0:08:21.040 I had a friend of mine he was he did 0:08:21.040 --> 0:08:24.120 a shoey in a sushi restaurant next to me, and 0:08:24.280 --> 0:08:25.880 he's like one of the calmest guys, and I was 0:08:25.920 --> 0:08:28.679 just like, this is the most disgusting, absurd but fitting 0:08:28.760 --> 0:08:31.440 thing with liftgolf's. 0:08:30.520 --> 0:08:35.360 A salmonella territory. Now we did well, we didn't. I 0:08:35.400 --> 0:08:39.600 saw from Afar the Australian Open this year. 0:08:39.880 --> 0:08:40.560 Yeah, I reckon. 0:08:40.600 --> 0:08:42.079 It was one of the first ones I didn't get 0:08:42.120 --> 0:08:44.160 around to. But you made up for both of us. 0:08:44.160 --> 0:08:47.200 You were there every day in the crowd, you were 0:08:47.240 --> 0:08:50.880 interviewing people, you were you know, I was open flat out. 0:08:51.120 --> 0:08:52.199 What was your experience there? 0:08:52.240 --> 0:08:54.080 Well, I did it only eight days of the fifteen, 0:08:54.160 --> 0:08:56.040 so I did over half the days there and that's 0:08:56.080 --> 0:08:57.960 a lot. And I did this Saturday. The first Saturday 0:08:58.000 --> 0:08:59.880 is one of the best because there's like heaps of people, 0:09:00.040 --> 0:09:01.719 people from all over the world, and people come down 0:09:01.720 --> 0:09:04.760 from Sydney and across the country and everyone's there for 0:09:04.760 --> 0:09:07.080 this kind of spectacle, and there's still games outside on 0:09:07.080 --> 0:09:08.959 the outdoor courts, so you can see tennis without having 0:09:08.960 --> 0:09:11.000 to pay like the premium tickets. So a lot of 0:09:11.000 --> 0:09:12.720 people go there and you just see everyone. It's like 0:09:12.760 --> 0:09:14.880 a big kind of melting pot of people from all 0:09:14.920 --> 0:09:17.040 over and make a lot of friends and they ask 0:09:17.120 --> 0:09:19.000 good times and then the rest of it. You know, 0:09:19.040 --> 0:09:22.240 whenever you want a premiership, people have said things change 0:09:22.280 --> 0:09:23.960 in your life, and I started to realize that because 0:09:24.000 --> 0:09:26.120 then all of a sudden, it's like, oh, hey, yeah, 0:09:26.200 --> 0:09:27.880 you want a ticket to the to the game time 0:09:27.960 --> 0:09:29.400 you go to this that you know, and you're like, 0:09:30.200 --> 0:09:32.160 I might as well make the most of this if 0:09:32.200 --> 0:09:33.280 you're silly nuts here, right. 0:09:33.320 --> 0:09:36.240 I think it's a good combo of like, you know, 0:09:36.360 --> 0:09:38.800 you win the Grand Finals, so you get the free tickets, 0:09:38.880 --> 0:09:42.679 but also, you know, Djokovic, all those guys aren't in 0:09:42.720 --> 0:09:45.760 the finals. There's a few seats floating around, so you 0:09:45.760 --> 0:09:47.400 can get some of those. That's when you can really 0:09:47.440 --> 0:09:50.760 cash in because like some of those finals, the guys 0:09:50.760 --> 0:09:53.160 are like the corporate it's just you know, stuck around 0:09:53.200 --> 0:09:54.959 for a little bit and then shut off. 0:09:55.200 --> 0:09:57.240 Well it's a late night sometimes the other two games 0:09:57.280 --> 0:09:59.600 in night. There was once I had to leave early 0:09:59.600 --> 0:10:02.000 because it's three sets in. It's like ten thirty eleven 0:10:02.040 --> 0:10:03.319 o'clock at night, and they're like, this is going to 0:10:03.360 --> 0:10:04.760 go for another couple of hours. I can't be I 0:10:04.880 --> 0:10:07.320 got training in the morning. Yeah, here it's all one am. 0:10:07.600 --> 0:10:09.640 Sometimes when you're like sitting down to watch the tennis 0:10:09.679 --> 0:10:11.880 and it's like like a match is starting and it's 0:10:11.920 --> 0:10:14.480 like ten pm or yeah, you're like, what are you? 0:10:14.520 --> 0:10:16.280 Maybe don't want to commit to this? 0:10:16.480 --> 0:10:18.760 You get a five hour one or whatever, and it's 0:10:18.880 --> 0:10:20.920 it always they always suck you in where you're like, 0:10:20.960 --> 0:10:22.440 I'll just wait to the end of this set and 0:10:22.480 --> 0:10:23.080 then it like. 0:10:23.040 --> 0:10:25.080 The demonol one like got me good and he's like 0:10:25.160 --> 0:10:27.520 went to five and I was epic. Was so so cool. 0:10:27.559 --> 0:10:29.960 But yeah, they also end up in awesome experience. Got 0:10:30.000 --> 0:10:32.120 to interview two best Americans play out there at the 0:10:32.120 --> 0:10:35.199 moment and you know, Fritz and Cocoa Golf and got 0:10:35.200 --> 0:10:37.640 to interview them, which was there's a cool experience in 0:10:37.679 --> 0:10:39.559 my life, you know, interviewing some of the top athletes 0:10:39.559 --> 0:10:41.680 of their sport in the moment that they're actually in 0:10:41.679 --> 0:10:45.200 their prime. And that was really cool, really unique experience 0:10:45.240 --> 0:10:46.559 and SOMETHINGY want to kind of get into is doing 0:10:46.559 --> 0:10:50.080 these international events and you know, people keep reminding me 0:10:50.200 --> 0:10:52.480 retirements around the corner, Mason, what are you doing next? 0:10:52.520 --> 0:10:54.360 You get that question a lot the older you get 0:10:54.360 --> 0:10:56.760 what's after footy? What's next? What's next? 0:10:56.760 --> 0:10:59.840 How about curiosity? He's diving right into the space. He's 0:11:00.080 --> 0:11:02.400 you know, a bit more practice. 0:11:03.120 --> 0:11:05.199 But he's got the connects with the players to make 0:11:05.200 --> 0:11:07.360 it interesting. I think, like you knows Djokovic and he's 0:11:07.360 --> 0:11:09.600 sitting there laughing with him on the tennis tennis court 0:11:09.640 --> 0:11:11.160 and stuff like that while he's in the bunker and 0:11:11.360 --> 0:11:13.520 there's little things like that that you know, you can't 0:11:13.679 --> 0:11:16.360 make up. He's just got because he played with him, 0:11:16.360 --> 0:11:17.960 you know, and you know I was playing against him 0:11:17.960 --> 0:11:18.440 and stuff like that. 0:11:18.480 --> 0:11:19.880 So I just throw him to the wolves. 0:11:19.880 --> 0:11:20.040 Though. 0:11:20.080 --> 0:11:21.920 They were like go out on the court and he 0:11:22.120 --> 0:11:22.600 interview you. 0:11:22.640 --> 0:11:24.960 Like, here's a micd go joy. 0:11:25.200 --> 0:11:27.760 Djokovic was like, yeah, I actually need my own mic, 0:11:27.800 --> 0:11:29.360 and like you took it from him. I was like, 0:11:29.559 --> 0:11:32.560 I hate awkwardness, so I just had to change the channel. 0:11:32.640 --> 0:11:34.880 I was like, someone else tell me if it was good, 0:11:34.960 --> 0:11:37.880 because I'm not watching it. We did touch on Tom 0:11:37.920 --> 0:11:40.000 Brady a little bit, but you met Tom, it looked 0:11:40.040 --> 0:11:41.360 like he had some one on one time. 0:11:41.720 --> 0:11:44.040 It was. It was an awesome experience, but had a 0:11:44.040 --> 0:11:46.360 bit of a funny tie to it, right, you know, 0:11:46.480 --> 0:11:49.640 like AFL players in Melbourne, right, they kind of like 0:11:50.080 --> 0:11:52.439 looked at as probably like the most well known athletes 0:11:52.480 --> 0:11:54.280 at of Melbourne. Look right, you could say, that's not 0:11:54.320 --> 0:11:57.240 a headed thing to say, and you know, people come 0:11:57.280 --> 0:11:58.880 to them and sometimes they have this kind of star 0:11:58.920 --> 0:12:01.520 struck attitude. It was funny to me hang out with 0:12:01.559 --> 0:12:04.440 AFL players and then having the stars truck attitude towards 0:12:04.480 --> 0:12:07.240 Tom Brady. Yeah, and they were like nervous to talk 0:12:07.280 --> 0:12:08.720 to him and didn't know. And this was coaches and 0:12:08.720 --> 0:12:10.560 stuff too, and like Alison Clarkson and stuff with there, 0:12:10.559 --> 0:12:12.559 and yeah, everyone's kind of wondering when they can like 0:12:12.640 --> 0:12:14.240 jump in, or if it's like their turn, or what 0:12:14.360 --> 0:12:16.480 questions they can ask. And you're in this kind of 0:12:16.600 --> 0:12:18.960 room and everyone's asking like, you know, allowed to ask 0:12:19.000 --> 0:12:20.920 whatever they want, but no one wants to break the ice, 0:12:20.960 --> 0:12:23.040 you know. Yeah, and the guys sitting there and he's 0:12:23.200 --> 0:12:24.800 like walks in, He's like, oh, yeah, how's everyone going 0:12:24.880 --> 0:12:27.360 and the guy's like yeah, yeah, and he's like Tom's 0:12:27.360 --> 0:12:28.880 like yeah, I'm going, well, you know a bit jet Lag, 0:12:28.920 --> 0:12:30.400 you know, such and such. And then the guy goes, 0:12:30.600 --> 0:12:32.839 So that guy there and he puts traded me. He 0:12:32.880 --> 0:12:36.400 goes he's the token American he plays with called AFL. 0:12:36.840 --> 0:12:39.880 There's the ice broken. He's like, you two got it 0:12:39.880 --> 0:12:41.720 for a little bit, and then everyone else asked the question, 0:12:41.880 --> 0:12:44.760 so choed him for a little bit. He's an awesome guy, legend. 0:12:44.800 --> 0:12:46.520 He was here for like twenty four hours in Australia 0:12:46.520 --> 0:12:48.800 and then flew back, So that would have been a 0:12:48.840 --> 0:12:51.560 whirlwind of an experience just being like jet Lag trying 0:12:51.559 --> 0:12:53.559 to figure out talk to people and he's throwing passes 0:12:53.600 --> 0:12:56.040 to every player I feel like inter L and AFL player, 0:12:56.080 --> 0:12:58.440 and it was one big media thing. It was cool 0:12:58.440 --> 0:12:59.679 to have him in town. It's great to have those 0:12:59.720 --> 0:13:02.720 kind of people. Him and RP. Kobe came in, you 0:13:02.760 --> 0:13:04.480 know a few years ago on these shack and these 0:13:04.559 --> 0:13:06.480 kind of big names that you know are kind of 0:13:06.480 --> 0:13:09.120 one offs, you know, don't come every single year. It's 0:13:09.160 --> 0:13:10.480 great to have them in there and try to be 0:13:10.520 --> 0:13:12.600 involved in some capacity to kind of you know, just 0:13:12.679 --> 0:13:14.440 hang out with them and ask a few questions about 0:13:14.440 --> 0:13:15.800 their career and what made them successful. 0:13:15.880 --> 0:13:18.480 I understand the ick, you know when people say, oh, 0:13:18.559 --> 0:13:20.520 this gives me the ick. That gives me the ick. 0:13:20.720 --> 0:13:21.320 I give you. 0:13:21.760 --> 0:13:23.439 I watched these players. 0:13:23.120 --> 0:13:25.000 Your red flag. I watched these I haven't even gotten 0:13:25.040 --> 0:13:25.720 to the dating braid. 0:13:26.440 --> 0:13:30.360 Don't worry, we'll get that. I watched these players absolutely 0:13:30.559 --> 0:13:34.320 losing their ship over meeting Tom Brady. And it's like, 0:13:34.440 --> 0:13:37.560 I'm sorry to say, but it's a bit embarrassing watching 0:13:37.600 --> 0:13:41.320 these guys like Tom throw me the ball. Oh my god, 0:13:41.400 --> 0:13:43.920 I caught it. How cool that's Tom Brady. It's like, 0:13:44.559 --> 0:13:47.480 oh my god, chill out, like it's fucking It's a 0:13:47.480 --> 0:13:51.320 bit embarrassing. But watching from a distance I've only seen 0:13:51.360 --> 0:13:53.640 it was only players in the room from what I 0:13:53.640 --> 0:13:57.319 could see, like they were just posting content like this 0:13:57.360 --> 0:13:59.880 is a picture with me and Tom and stuff, and it's. 0:13:59.760 --> 0:14:03.400 Like I fell into that trump. But at least you. 0:14:03.600 --> 0:14:05.800 Standing next to him just looked like you were catching 0:14:05.880 --> 0:14:07.560 up with another. 0:14:07.280 --> 0:14:10.679 American, like you've never seen someone your hut. It was 0:14:10.720 --> 0:14:12.959 so it was probably a face of confusion of what 0:14:13.000 --> 0:14:14.840 the fuck is Yeah. 0:14:14.840 --> 0:14:17.400 Yeah, it's so weird and when he was like walking 0:14:17.400 --> 0:14:20.280 in and everyone mobbed him like yeah, he's got security 0:14:20.320 --> 0:14:20.560 like this. 0:14:20.960 --> 0:14:22.920 It was like a boxing match or an NMA match. 0:14:22.920 --> 0:14:24.680 You needed like the theme music to roll out with 0:14:24.720 --> 0:14:26.680 and a big kind of you know, a robe over 0:14:26.680 --> 0:14:29.520 his head, just the boxing clothes ready to go. So weird. 0:14:29.600 --> 0:14:32.760 Anyway, I'm glad that, you know, players get to experience 0:14:32.880 --> 0:14:33.400 that once. 0:14:33.440 --> 0:14:37.040 And they went little humility, right, the humility, Well, we'll 0:14:37.040 --> 0:14:40.120 get into something involved both of us. Now Beyond the Valley. 0:14:40.280 --> 0:14:42.240 We haven't really caught up about this. We did a 0:14:42.280 --> 0:14:45.000 live show, first ever live show beyond the Valley. We 0:14:45.040 --> 0:14:48.000 went to a festival Brandon. Yes it's crazy festival. I've 0:14:48.000 --> 0:14:50.280 never been to a festival in Australia. But we threw 0:14:50.320 --> 0:14:52.240 ourselves in the deep end ended up doing a live show, 0:14:52.280 --> 0:14:54.960 which I mean, let's be honest here, how many people 0:14:55.000 --> 0:14:56.880 did you expect to show up? Yeah? 0:14:56.920 --> 0:14:59.400 I thought like ten maybe, like. 0:14:59.400 --> 0:15:01.200 And how many do you reckon actually were there? 0:15:01.520 --> 0:15:05.480 I mean I think I think it's like two hundred 0:15:05.880 --> 0:15:08.680 two fifty, like a lot of people. 0:15:08.880 --> 0:15:11.880 Yeah, which you can imagine, Like we had to you know, 0:15:11.960 --> 0:15:13.800 we usually write down a little like list of things 0:15:13.800 --> 0:15:16.120 we want to talk about and you said this after 0:15:16.160 --> 0:15:18.560 we were dying. You were like, Mason, I could tell 0:15:18.600 --> 0:15:22.880 you were nervous, and I was shitting myself going out 0:15:22.880 --> 0:15:26.200 on stage, people chanting the USA doof sticks out in 0:15:26.240 --> 0:15:26.640 the back. 0:15:26.800 --> 0:15:28.920 You're coming on the Grand Final dressed? 0:15:28.960 --> 0:15:31.200 Yeah, it was full dressed up in a forty six 0:15:31.280 --> 0:15:33.800 cong with Jersey, had the socks pulled up, even the 0:15:33.840 --> 0:15:36.720 shin guards covered, had the full socks and boots on 0:15:36.760 --> 0:15:40.080 and everything else. And I was like, I love it. 0:15:40.080 --> 0:15:42.600 It's awesome doing wrong, But I was just not prepared. 0:15:42.760 --> 0:15:45.040 I was not like I didn't think that that me 0:15:45.080 --> 0:15:47.480 and people would shop, which was like, we loved it. 0:15:47.480 --> 0:15:49.520 It was so incredible to have that kind of support. 0:15:49.720 --> 0:15:52.320 But I think with our low expectations we went in with, 0:15:52.640 --> 0:15:55.240 we kind of were a bit shocked walking out on stage, going, 0:15:55.640 --> 0:15:58.760 oh shit, we've got a lot of different levels of sobriety. 0:15:58.800 --> 0:16:01.880 We have to probably yeah entertain here. It was a 0:16:01.920 --> 0:16:05.040 twelve thirty slot, so you're getting people that are still 0:16:05.120 --> 0:16:07.440 hungover from the night before. People are getting their first 0:16:07.480 --> 0:16:09.760 bite of food for the day, and people have already 0:16:09.800 --> 0:16:12.880
