Speaker 1: four season three. We're launching the pod starting now. It's
Speaker 1: gonna be an epic episode. We're starting the year off strong.
Speaker 1: We've got the off season shrip. What the hell have
Speaker 1: been up to Brighton's dating life? Also a lot of
Speaker 1: people want to updates Brighton. We've also got trade period stuff.
Speaker 1: And then you wouldn't believe it. While we were gone,
Speaker 1: we went to a festival beyond the Valley, did a
Speaker 1: whole live show. It was a thing. We'll tell you
Speaker 1: all about it all in this episode coming up, and
Speaker 1: you best believe it. We're coming at you weekly every Tuesday,
Speaker 1: so set your calendars, ladies and gentlemen. Season three starts now. Wowie,
Speaker 1: it is good to be back for season three of
Speaker 1: the podcast. Brighton Cox, Huh, it is great to welcome
Speaker 1: you back to the show.
Speaker 2: Let's go good a Mason as per usual, Old Da
Speaker 2: Habits Die Hard. You're late again to another record, so
Speaker 2: that's been great. But tell us where you've been what
Speaker 2: you've been up to, because I'll cut it short. I've
Speaker 2: been up to nothing, just working as per usual, so
Speaker 2: not a lot has changed there. What have you been
Speaker 2: up to because I it's probably easier to just say
Speaker 2: what you haven't done.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because looking at.
Speaker 2: The list here, you have been to every sport around
Speaker 2: the globe. Tell us what you've been up to.
Speaker 1: I've one f one, NBA, NFL, NHL live golf over
Speaker 1: in Miami, which is a wild time where you broke
Speaker 1: a stage with Fisher performing in a weekend. That's a
Speaker 1: whole story with it itself we'll get into. But awesome
Speaker 1: time did a bunch of sport and everything else. Brotherly
Speaker 1: got married to Win, celebrated with them for a bit.
Speaker 1: The marriage that has already occurred that I missed because
Speaker 1: of forty season.
Speaker 2: You rocked up for the celebration.
Speaker 1: The celebrations right, and then mom and dad had their
Speaker 1: fortieth wedding anniversary. Shout out to mom and dad. We
Speaker 1: love the mom and Dad's on this podcast. And yeah,
Speaker 1: just traveled the world man that was at the Australian Open.
Speaker 1: And then Tom Brady was around, so I said hi
Speaker 1: to him. And it's been a bit on Braiden, been here,
Speaker 1: there and everywhere, but in a good way.
Speaker 2: Is it does any cashis come out when it's when
Speaker 2: the sports season in Melbourne or no.
Speaker 1: Unfortunately, the cash just falls off a cliff after I'm
Speaker 1: done with footy and then it's more experiences I'm given,
Speaker 1: which is awesome. I still love it. It's insane, right, like
Speaker 1: to meet these people that you know are legends of
Speaker 1: the game. Why people like Tom Brady is the gross
Speaker 1: of all time whenever it comes to NFL. Right, Like,
Speaker 1: to meet these kind of people and be interacting with
Speaker 1: them and just to be part of this experience. I
Speaker 1: just never thought my life would really happen, So it
Speaker 1: kind of makes you pinch yourself of like, what in
Speaker 1: the world is my life now.
Speaker 2: I did see someone mention I get the height thing
Speaker 2: when you're standing next to Tom Brady and he just
Speaker 2: looks like a normal dude because you're towering over him.
Speaker 2: I get like a little bit of the attraction for
Speaker 2: the tall guys out there. It made sense, But let's
Speaker 2: dive into some of them, because you just touched on
Speaker 2: all of them. But you went over there.
Speaker 1: Vegas one one inaugural Formula one in Vegas, tell.
Speaker 2: Us about the experience because you went with your brother,
Speaker 2: who gets to just chain along. He's on your coattails.
Speaker 1: He's like, as soon as you get to miss his
Speaker 1: own to be the most pissed off person in the
Speaker 1: world because all my plus one privileges just go out
Speaker 1: the windows. He's waiting for that day and it's not
Speaker 1: gonna be a great one. But we did go to
Speaker 1: the f one we had KO helped us out with.
Speaker 1: That got us some like media passes. We weren't really
Speaker 1: sure what these media passes, you know, would get us
Speaker 1: access to it, and didn't give any information where we
Speaker 1: had picked them up. So it's the first time, right,
Speaker 1: So with the first time with anything, no one's really
Speaker 1: one hundred percent sure what's going on. So we kind
Speaker 1: of made this agreeance between my brother and I that
Speaker 1: we just had to do everything with the utmost confidence,
Speaker 1: walk head first into things, don't make eye contact with anyone,
Speaker 1: just act like you're supposed to be there, right, And
Speaker 1: that got us a good standing because we at one
Speaker 1: point we're on pit Lane, there was no one else there.
Speaker 1: We had a dinky iPhone acting like we're a media
Speaker 1: filming content and we were rolling around like looking like
Speaker 1: we're doing shoies in front of Daniel Ricardo's garage and
Speaker 1: we were rolling around this whole place and we're you know, Chetting,
Speaker 1: Oscar Pastree and all these other people are part of
Speaker 1: the F one and James Corden comes up and says hi,
Speaker 1: and yeah, then you got you know, Gordon Ramsay comes
Speaker 1: and says, hogs us in Melbourne shooting food Stars is
Speaker 1: about to come out. Whole thing and it was just
Speaker 1: a crazy experience for a weekend of like all access
Speaker 1: to an F one in Vegas, and you can imagine
Speaker 1: there was a little bit of partying here and there.
Speaker 1: Maybe I don't know, but maybe a beer two right,
Speaker 1: maybe it's Vegas, right. Yeah. It was a good time though,
Speaker 1: and it was epic, man like I love the F
Speaker 1: once coming to Melbourne here soon obviously for the for
Speaker 1: the race, and it was just so cool. It's just
Speaker 1: like the entertainment capital of the world and there was
Speaker 1: that many DJs and everything else playing and it was
Speaker 1: just it was insane, like one of the nts. Yes,
Speaker 1: I didn't go to sleep, I will admit it.
Speaker 2: Because they had that thing where they had to shut
Speaker 2: it down because of the manhole cost.
Speaker 1: And it tore a part of Ferrari. This is a
Speaker 1: digital drama behind that and having to fix it asap
Speaker 1: and then then Max Versapan got you know, penalty and
Speaker 1: he fell behind. This It was a it was an
Speaker 1: amazing weekend, right, everything you could ask for from like
Speaker 1: stories and headlines and everything else awesome, so much fun stuff.
Speaker 2: So always kicking off in the f ones and then
Speaker 2: you rolled over to the NHL.
Speaker 1: Well, I did the NFL and the NHL on the
Speaker 1: same day. NHL I did it night, and NFL we
Speaker 1: did during the day. So we did the Chargers during
Speaker 1: the day at like one o'clock and then the NHL
Speaker 1: like six thirty or seven pm. So we did two
Speaker 1: in one day. So to stop over in LA about
Speaker 1: twenty four hours, go to two sports and then the
Speaker 1: next morning I flew back out to Australia.
Speaker 2: So you were on their social channels, weren't you.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, so I reckon, that's crazy and that's.
Speaker 2: Two and two. Like you've been back here, you're on
Speaker 2: the LA Kings Socials. It was you went to the
Speaker 2: f ones in Melbourne.
Speaker 1: Yeah, say, there was a puck drop in Melbourne before
Speaker 1: the Grand Final that I had to do. And the
Speaker 1: story is like it's the game final week, right, I've
Speaker 1: got plenty on They're like you could do a puck
Speaker 1: drop for the NHL. Right, they got this kind of
Speaker 1: international game they're doing. I was like, yeah, that sounds
Speaker 1: like fun. So I go there, I do this puck drop,
Speaker 1: and I kid you not. This is the week of
Speaker 1: the Grand Final, and as we know, everyone hates Collingwood players.
Speaker 1: So I've gone out there. We're in a grand final.
Speaker 1: Everyone's rooting again barri King against us. So I still
Speaker 1: get my turn and Algy I don't want to go
Speaker 1: down that. And I'm sitting here with the park and
Speaker 1: I walk out and I'm on this. You know, you're
Speaker 1: on the carpet, and I walked the wrong way. It's
Speaker 1: not like there's twenty thousand people there to tell me
Speaker 1: I'm a dumbass. Back the other way. Now, I shake
Speaker 1: someone's hand, acting like I was trying to be polite,
Speaker 1: but really I'm trying to figure out where the hell
Speaker 1: do code next? And you've got the I've got the park,
Speaker 1: I've got the thing to start the whole damn thing.
Speaker 1: Then the two players there, I'm like, okay, I think
Speaker 1: it's supposed to be hearing between them. And then I'm
Speaker 1: sitting there about to drop the pock and all I
Speaker 1: hear is is this echoing of you suck colorhood sucks,
Speaker 1: gift just going off on me and the two players
Speaker 1: who went to the prelimb because they got both the
Speaker 1: hockey teams the other the prelimb where we beat WS
Speaker 1: by point. They're like, AFL is the most insane sport
Speaker 1: I've ever heard. They loved it, and they kind of
Speaker 1: both looked at me, like, Jesus, this town really fucking
Speaker 1: hate you. So confused, so confused. It was a good
Speaker 1: time that now I got to see all those people
Speaker 1: again in LA got to go behind the scenes of
Speaker 1: Crypto Arena, which is insane, really cool. And the La
Speaker 1: rams looked after me too, which was sick.
Speaker 2: And now we're jumping all over the shit because this
Speaker 2: is this is here, there and everywhere. But let's go
Speaker 2: back to the U s a FL because you did
Speaker 2: that again, which you love doing, love doing.
Speaker 1: Love for me.
Speaker 2: What happened over there.
Speaker 1: My brother won another championship, so he's you know. The
Speaker 1: good thing is though now he can't say this one
Speaker 1: thing that's really pissed me off for the last few years.
Speaker 1: You're the only brother that's not a premiership player. So
Speaker 1: as soon as I won the premiership, that was one
Speaker 1: of the first things I said to him, I said,
Speaker 1: you can stop fucking saying.
Speaker 2: And then he got pissed off. Now he's pissed up.
Speaker 1: Yeah he's got He's got like six or seven now,
Speaker 1: so he's got a few up on me. I think
Speaker 1: there are medals are probably a little bit nicer.
Speaker 2: Surely he's getting closer to a time and you're giving
Speaker 2: him the nudge. Come on, mate, He's almost forty.
Speaker 1: He was thirty six now, so he's he's getting there.
Speaker 1: He's about to turn thirty seven. Yeah, he's married now.
Speaker 1: I think everything the time goes into the wife and
Speaker 1: hopefully the kid in the future. But yeah, USAFL is
Speaker 1: epic over there. And then we did the live golf
Speaker 1: and was hanging out with camp Smith and some connections
Speaker 1: over there, which is pretty cool and just epic. Like
Speaker 1: I'm not very good at golf, but the live golf
Speaker 1: was quite an experience. At one point I was hanging
Speaker 1: out in Trump's box. He wasn't there. Donald Trump wasn't there,
Speaker 1: don't get me wrong, But I was drinking his piss
Speaker 1: and eating his food. So I felt like my tax
Speaker 1: dollars I've spent over the last few years have gone
Speaker 1: to good use.
Speaker 2: Now that's good. You get it back, You get it
Speaker 2: all back. How many shoeies did you do in the States?
Speaker 2: I had to do it at least one if you
Speaker 2: didn't do one.
Speaker 1: I had a friend of mine he was he did
Speaker 1: a shoey in a sushi restaurant next to me, and
Speaker 1: he's like one of the calmest guys, and I was
Speaker 1: just like, this is the most disgusting, absurd but fitting
Speaker 1: thing with liftgolf's.
Speaker 2: A salmonella territory. Now we did well, we didn't. I
Speaker 2: saw from Afar the Australian Open this year.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I reckon.
Speaker 2: It was one of the first ones I didn't get
Speaker 2: around to. But you made up for both of us.
Speaker 2: You were there every day in the crowd, you were
Speaker 2: interviewing people, you were you know, I was open flat out.
Speaker 2: What was your experience there?
Speaker 1: Well, I did it only eight days of the fifteen,
Speaker 1: so I did over half the days there and that's
Speaker 1: a lot. And I did this Saturday. The first Saturday
Speaker 1: is one of the best because there's like heaps of people,
Speaker 1: people from all over the world, and people come down
Speaker 1: from Sydney and across the country and everyone's there for
Speaker 1: this kind of spectacle, and there's still games outside on
Speaker 1: the outdoor courts, so you can see tennis without having
Speaker 1: to pay like the premium tickets. So a lot of
Speaker 1: people go there and you just see everyone. It's like
Speaker 1: a big kind of melting pot of people from all
Speaker 1: over and make a lot of friends and they ask
Speaker 1: good times and then the rest of it. You know,
Speaker 1: whenever you want a premiership, people have said things change
Speaker 1: in your life, and I started to realize that because
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, it's like, oh, hey, yeah,
Speaker 1: you want a ticket to the to the game time
Speaker 1: you go to this that you know, and you're like,
Speaker 1: I might as well make the most of this if
Speaker 1: you're silly nuts here, right.
Speaker 2: I think it's a good combo of like, you know,
Speaker 2: you win the Grand Finals, so you get the free tickets,
Speaker 2: but also, you know, Djokovic, all those guys aren't in
Speaker 2: the finals. There's a few seats floating around, so you
Speaker 2: can get some of those. That's when you can really
Speaker 2: cash in because like some of those finals, the guys
Speaker 2: are like the corporate it's just you know, stuck around
Speaker 2: for a little bit and then shut off.
Speaker 1: Well it's a late night sometimes the other two games
Speaker 1: in night. There was once I had to leave early
Speaker 1: because it's three sets in. It's like ten thirty eleven
Speaker 1: o'clock at night, and they're like, this is going to
Speaker 1: go for another couple of hours. I can't be I
Speaker 1: got training in the morning. Yeah, here it's all one am.
Speaker 2: Sometimes when you're like sitting down to watch the tennis
Speaker 2: and it's like like a match is starting and it's
Speaker 2: like ten pm or yeah, you're like, what are you?
Speaker 1: Maybe don't want to commit to this?
Speaker 2: You get a five hour one or whatever, and it's
Speaker 2: it always they always suck you in where you're like,
Speaker 2: I'll just wait to the end of this set and
Speaker 2: then it like.
Speaker 1: The demonol one like got me good and he's like
Speaker 1: went to five and I was epic. Was so so cool.
Speaker 1: But yeah, they also end up in awesome experience. Got
Speaker 1: to interview two best Americans play out there at the
Speaker 1: moment and you know, Fritz and Cocoa Golf and got
Speaker 1: to interview them, which was there's a cool experience in
Speaker 1: my life, you know, interviewing some of the top athletes
Speaker 1: of their sport in the moment that they're actually in
Speaker 1: their prime. And that was really cool, really unique experience
Speaker 1: and SOMETHINGY want to kind of get into is doing
Speaker 1: these international events and you know, people keep reminding me
Speaker 1: retirements around the corner, Mason, what are you doing next?
Speaker 1: You get that question a lot the older you get
Speaker 1: what's after footy? What's next? What's next?
Speaker 2: How about curiosity? He's diving right into the space. He's
Speaker 2: you know, a bit more practice.
Speaker 1: But he's got the connects with the players to make
Speaker 1: it interesting. I think, like you knows Djokovic and he's
Speaker 1: sitting there laughing with him on the tennis tennis court
Speaker 1: and stuff like that while he's in the bunker and
Speaker 1: there's little things like that that you know, you can't
Speaker 1: make up. He's just got because he played with him,
Speaker 1: you know, and you know I was playing against him
Speaker 1: and stuff like that.
Speaker 2: So I just throw him to the wolves.
Speaker 1: Though.
Speaker 2: They were like go out on the court and he
Speaker 2: interview you.
Speaker 1: Like, here's a micd go joy.
Speaker 2: Djokovic was like, yeah, I actually need my own mic,
Speaker 2: and like you took it from him. I was like,
Speaker 2: I hate awkwardness, so I just had to change the channel.
Speaker 2: I was like, someone else tell me if it was good,
Speaker 2: because I'm not watching it. We did touch on Tom
Speaker 2: Brady a little bit, but you met Tom, it looked
Speaker 2: like he had some one on one time.
Speaker 1: It was. It was an awesome experience, but had a
Speaker 1: bit of a funny tie to it, right, you know,
Speaker 1: like AFL players in Melbourne, right, they kind of like
Speaker 1: looked at as probably like the most well known athletes
Speaker 1: at of Melbourne. Look right, you could say, that's not
Speaker 1: a headed thing to say, and you know, people come
Speaker 1: to them and sometimes they have this kind of star
Speaker 1: struck attitude. It was funny to me hang out with
Speaker 1: AFL players and then having the stars truck attitude towards
Speaker 1: Tom Brady. Yeah, and they were like nervous to talk
Speaker 1: to him and didn't know. And this was coaches and
Speaker 1: stuff too, and like Alison Clarkson and stuff with there,
Speaker 1: and yeah, everyone's kind of wondering when they can like
Speaker 1: jump in, or if it's like their turn, or what
Speaker 1: questions they can ask. And you're in this kind of
Speaker 1: room and everyone's asking like, you know, allowed to ask
Speaker 1: whatever they want, but no one wants to break the ice,
Speaker 1: you know. Yeah, and the guys sitting there and he's
Speaker 1: like walks in, He's like, oh, yeah, how's everyone going
Speaker 1: and the guy's like yeah, yeah, and he's like Tom's
Speaker 1: like yeah, I'm going, well, you know a bit jet Lag,
Speaker 1: you know, such and such. And then the guy goes,
Speaker 1: So that guy there and he puts traded me. He
Speaker 1: goes he's the token American he plays with called AFL.
Speaker 1: There's the ice broken. He's like, you two got it
Speaker 1: for a little bit, and then everyone else asked the question,
Speaker 1: so choed him for a little bit. He's an awesome guy, legend.
Speaker 1: He was here for like twenty four hours in Australia
Speaker 1: and then flew back, So that would have been a
Speaker 1: whirlwind of an experience just being like jet Lag trying
Speaker 1: to figure out talk to people and he's throwing passes
Speaker 1: to every player I feel like inter L and AFL player,
Speaker 1: and it was one big media thing. It was cool
Speaker 1: to have him in town. It's great to have those
Speaker 1: kind of people. Him and RP. Kobe came in, you
Speaker 1: know a few years ago on these shack and these
Speaker 1: kind of big names that you know are kind of
Speaker 1: one offs, you know, don't come every single year. It's
Speaker 1: great to have them in there and try to be
Speaker 1: involved in some capacity to kind of you know, just
Speaker 1: hang out with them and ask a few questions about
Speaker 1: their career and what made them successful.
Speaker 2: I understand the ick, you know when people say, oh,
Speaker 2: this gives me the ick. That gives me the ick.
Speaker 1: I give you.
Speaker 2: I watched these players.
Speaker 1: Your red flag. I watched these I haven't even gotten
Speaker 1: to the dating braid.
Speaker 2: Don't worry, we'll get that. I watched these players absolutely
Speaker 2: losing their ship over meeting Tom Brady. And it's like,
Speaker 2: I'm sorry to say, but it's a bit embarrassing watching
Speaker 2: these guys like Tom throw me the ball. Oh my god,
Speaker 2: I caught it. How cool that's Tom Brady. It's like,
Speaker 2: oh my god, chill out, like it's fucking It's a
Speaker 2: bit embarrassing. But watching from a distance I've only seen
Speaker 2: it was only players in the room from what I
Speaker 2: could see, like they were just posting content like this
Speaker 2: is a picture with me and Tom and stuff, and it's.
Speaker 1: Like I fell into that trump. But at least you.
Speaker 2: Standing next to him just looked like you were catching
Speaker 2: up with another.
Speaker 1: American, like you've never seen someone your hut. It was
Speaker 1: so it was probably a face of confusion of what
Speaker 1: the fuck is Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's so weird and when he was like walking
Speaker 2: in and everyone mobbed him like yeah, he's got security
Speaker 2: like this.
Speaker 1: It was like a boxing match or an NMA match.
Speaker 1: You needed like the theme music to roll out with
Speaker 1: and a big kind of you know, a robe over
Speaker 1: his head, just the boxing clothes ready to go. So weird.
Speaker 2: Anyway, I'm glad that, you know, players get to experience
Speaker 2: that once.
Speaker 1: And they went little humility, right, the humility, Well, we'll
Speaker 1: get into something involved both of us. Now Beyond the Valley.
Speaker 1: We haven't really caught up about this. We did a
Speaker 1: live show, first ever live show beyond the Valley. We
Speaker 1: went to a festival Brandon. Yes it's crazy festival. I've
Speaker 1: never been to a festival in Australia. But we threw
Speaker 1: ourselves in the deep end ended up doing a live show,
Speaker 1: which I mean, let's be honest here, how many people
Speaker 1: did you expect to show up? Yeah?
Speaker 2: I thought like ten maybe, like.
Speaker 1: And how many do you reckon actually were there?
Speaker 2: I mean I think I think it's like two hundred
Speaker 2: two fifty, like a lot of people.
Speaker 1: Yeah, which you can imagine, Like we had to you know,
Speaker 1: we usually write down a little like list of things
Speaker 1: we want to talk about and you said this after
Speaker 1: we were dying. You were like, Mason, I could tell
Speaker 1: you were nervous, and I was shitting myself going out
Speaker 1: on stage, people chanting the USA doof sticks out in
Speaker 1: the back.
Speaker 2: You're coming on the Grand Final dressed?
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was full dressed up in a forty six
Speaker 1: cong with Jersey, had the socks pulled up, even the
Speaker 1: shin guards covered, had the full socks and boots on
Speaker 1: and everything else. And I was like, I love it.
Speaker 1: It's awesome doing wrong, But I was just not prepared.
Speaker 1: I was not like I didn't think that that me
Speaker 1: and people would shop, which was like, we loved it.
Speaker 1: It was so incredible to have that kind of support.
Speaker 1: But I think with our low expectations we went in with,
Speaker 1: we kind of were a bit shocked walking out on stage, going,
Speaker 1: oh shit, we've got a lot of different levels of sobriety.
Speaker 1: We have to probably yeah entertain here. It was a
Speaker 1: twelve thirty slot, so you're getting people that are still
Speaker 1: hungover from the night before. People are getting their first
Speaker 1: bite of food for the day, and people have already
Speaker 1: started their next next night, all in one place.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was bizarre. There's a couple of guys in
Speaker 2: the front row that looked like they were enjoying themselves.
Speaker 2: They were like laid out flat with like sonnies on.
Speaker 2: But yeah, it was It was cool getting like feedback
Speaker 2: in real time because you start talking about something boring
Speaker 2: and you could tell that people stop paying attention, or
Speaker 2: like you would start talking about a club or whatever
Speaker 2: just to like you know, test it out and you
Speaker 2: get heckls or whatever. It was really cool. It was Yeah,
Speaker 2: it was pretty cool.
Speaker 1: I had I had no.
Speaker 2: Pressure because I was like, we're in the middle of
Speaker 2: a paddock, in the middle of nowhere, and no one
Speaker 2: gives a fuck what I'm saying. So I just kept
Speaker 2: rolling you under the bus, kept asking you questions.
Speaker 1: You were you were out there after me. You realize,
Speaker 1: Hot Brown, you were the old Tom Brown, just trying
Speaker 1: to like get some juice out of me.
Speaker 2: Because with the like a meatiate it feedback. It was
Speaker 2: fun getting like those reactions like, hey, every topic.
Speaker 1: I've said something I shouldn't have said.
Speaker 2: I'm glad. I don't know if a journalist was there,
Speaker 2: but if a journalist was there, I think we're even.
Speaker 1: I think we're the scarfs on everything else. Tom Morris's
Speaker 1: playing out there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, if you're rotting on us, we're routing on you.
Speaker 2: If you see Tom Brown out there with a cowboy.
Speaker 1: From that, I'm going yeah, I'm calling Channel seven or
Speaker 1: Fox for you. Tom. You spent three days behind the Valley.
Speaker 2: It was good though, And then we followed it up
Speaker 2: with we went on Triple J, which.
Speaker 1: Is pretty crazy.
Speaker 2: That was cool, like another thing that we kind of did.
Speaker 1: With our community Triple J.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it was another thing you were late to
Speaker 2: just put it on the list. Let's jump into let's
Speaker 2: move on, Let's jump into the footy season, because there's
Speaker 2: plenty to talk about. We've already wasted a lot of
Speaker 2: time just talking about you.
Speaker 1: Are we going into your dating site? You just got
Speaker 1: to skip past that.
Speaker 2: I almost got to hear, let's get through it. I
Speaker 2: had a few, so I'm going to like get through
Speaker 2: them like I had a few dates the dating segment. Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2: So a couple of people have had you know, I
Speaker 2: don't know if it's a fence, but they almost pulled
Speaker 2: out that my last name was spelt the way that
Speaker 2: it is, the proper way. The cock the bag of
Speaker 2: Dick's as I like to say two Cox one pot.
Speaker 2: All the photos on my Hinge accounter in my Instagram,
Speaker 2: So I know if I send someone my Instagram and
Speaker 2: they ghost me or whatever, it's probably not because of
Speaker 2: my pitches, because they're the same. I only have five
Speaker 2: pictures of myself from the past thirty three years. My
Speaker 2: Instagram handle for those who want to follow along Braiden
Speaker 2: dot Cox, so you can see my last name.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 2: I don't know if people are thinking ahead if we
Speaker 2: get married, they're going to have to become missus Cox
Speaker 2: or whatever. But I've had a couple of ghostings off
Speaker 2: the back of that alone, like we've been locked in
Speaker 2: for a date and they're like, let's take it off Hinge,
Speaker 2: let's chat via Instagram. Send the Instagram handle, Gone, Gone, Gone, and.
Speaker 1: You reckon, it's the last name, that's what has to be.
Speaker 2: What else is it unless they look at the tagged
Speaker 2: and see me on this podcast talking about all the
Speaker 2: dating that's been terrible.
Speaker 1: I'd rather not have my dirty laund your aired out.
Speaker 2: And then I had another person fully one hundred percent
Speaker 2: believe that I was lying about how my last name
Speaker 2: was spelled to the like to the degree where they
Speaker 2: refuse to put it correctly into their contact list.
Speaker 1: I'll give you this. I've never met anyone that spelt
Speaker 1: it the way that you're as a spell it's the
Speaker 1: unfortunate way.
Speaker 2: Let's be you've only met cowards. You've got to spell
Speaker 2: it the correct way. See why be a cox but
Speaker 2: then spell it wrong like it's subtle. If you're going
Speaker 2: to be teased for it, at least have it proper.
Speaker 1: I want to say this. I think you need to
Speaker 1: change a prompt to something like you don't have to
Speaker 1: take my last name. You could keep your own if
Speaker 1: we get married.
Speaker 2: So should I put my last name in my profile?
Speaker 1: If this is it, we need to questionnaire it to
Speaker 1: someone to say, what's the dating prompt we need to
Speaker 1: give for Breaden to get the most matches on?
Speaker 2: Well, I've got a Yeah, I've got a few, so
Speaker 2: that can be One. Should I put my last name
Speaker 2: in my profile so no one's you know, surprised? Two
Speaker 2: I matched with And I don't know if she watches
Speaker 2: this podcast, so apologies. If you do, you won't be named.
Speaker 2: But there's a bakery near me that I absolutely love.
Speaker 2: And there's not many things in this life that I
Speaker 2: get to just enjoy, Mason. I'm always working, I'm slaving away.
Speaker 2: But I did like to go to this bakery and
Speaker 2: get a little pastry, like and they open Wednesday through
Speaker 2: Sunday or whatever, so I'd always go in there and
Speaker 2: get the pastry. And then she matched with me on
Speaker 2: hinge and then I was like, I do I reply
Speaker 2: and say like like no thanks, or do I just
Speaker 2: say no, no match and just pretend like it didn't happen,
Speaker 2: which I think you were leaning.
Speaker 1: Towards to answer that question. I think is there like, oh,
Speaker 1: I took some time off the app. I didn't want to,
Speaker 1: you know, because look, Brandon and I've done this before.
Speaker 1: Don't ship where you eat? I know, but nowat you.
Speaker 2: Took option number three and just just I pretended like
Speaker 2: it didn't happen. And I never go back.
Speaker 1: To the bakery.
Speaker 2: What I haven't been back.
Speaker 1: To the bank. So you just go back and then
Speaker 1: you does she give you the eye she'd give you that?
Speaker 1: Do you find her attract like?
Speaker 2: I don't want anything from it because I don't want
Speaker 2: to shoot where I eat. I just want the pastry.
Speaker 1: Get you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So then if it turns awkward and I hate awkward, situations,
Speaker 2: and then I have to go in there and be like.
Speaker 1: I understand that the awkwardness.
Speaker 2: I just avoid the whole thing.
Speaker 1: That sucks.
Speaker 2: But then now I don't get the pastry. And unfortunately
Speaker 2: it happened on the other side the barista, which I
Speaker 2: am not like a player, Mason, I'm single. It's very
Speaker 2: much single. Barista at the cafe on the other side. Yeah,
Speaker 2: she hit me up, and then what you like? I
Speaker 2: stopped going and getting coffee there.
Speaker 1: What's your distance to like? Is it a kilometer?
Speaker 2: And they must just be attracted to my proximity because
Speaker 2: outside of that one block radius, I don't match with
Speaker 2: anyone or do anything. Why couldn't it be the barista
Speaker 2: up the road here? But that's another thing. But now
Speaker 2: this one, this is the last one. I'll end it
Speaker 2: on this one. So this one annoyed me the most
Speaker 2: because I am a busney man and I often tell you,
Speaker 2: but I don't use it as an excuse when I'm dating,
Speaker 2: because I know how annoying it is when someone says
Speaker 2: they're busy and just assumes that you're not. Anyway, I
Speaker 2: matched with this girl and would match before, and she
Speaker 2: sent a message to me saying I think we've done
Speaker 2: this before. So I jumped ahead and said.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we have got back on the app.
Speaker 2: So how about let's lock in a date. Let's make
Speaker 2: this thing happen. She was like yeah. She was like yep, great,
Speaker 2: let's do it. We're made up for a coffee. Said
Speaker 2: where are you in proximity to me? I'll pick something
Speaker 2: in the middle, a bit close to you because I'm
Speaker 2: a nice guy.
Speaker 1: Chivalry is not dead.
Speaker 2: So she told me she lived in the Richmond area.
Speaker 2: I picked out a cafe, let's lock it in, yeah,
Speaker 2: ghosted me, ghosted, so no response. So I did all
Speaker 2: the work on my end, picked a time, picked a cafe,
Speaker 2: done everything right, I've done everything right, ghosted, and I'm like, okay, cool,
Speaker 2: Wait a day, wait, two days, wait, four days?
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, so you're not the triple texture Nah, okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: I got You're with the double I'm not going.
Speaker 2: So I just said a joke back.
Speaker 1: Oh, you try to reignite the conversation. Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2: And then because little Hi, because of the context of
Speaker 2: we've been here before, I sent a message saying like, well,
Speaker 2: at least we know this time. It's definitely your fault.
Speaker 1: Or the bullying, the subtle building is not really Yeah, okay.
Speaker 2: Some people the subtle bullying is their thing. So I
Speaker 2: was like, i'll get it. I'll provoke an answer response
Speaker 2: by the subtle bullying. Well, nothing for another day and
Speaker 2: then I get back. And this is as close to
Speaker 2: just gas lighting me as it can get. She says, Wow,
Speaker 2: chill out. I was working night shift, no shift where,
Speaker 2: Oh it doesn't fucking matter. Well, you're working night shift
Speaker 2: for four days straight.
Speaker 1: You're just going to the night shift for the hospital,
Speaker 1: the are saving lives. You still haven't feel a little
Speaker 1: bit bad.
Speaker 2: Wouldn't you. Everyone's got a job, everyone's got a job,
Speaker 2: you got downtime. You're not just working night shift into
Speaker 2: night shift into night shift. So I just left it.
Speaker 2: I was just like, no, I left it. I'm above that.
Speaker 2: Should I be annoyed at that? No?
Speaker 1: I think that's just we're all busy. We're all busy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I agree.
Speaker 2: I hate it when people use their busyness as an excuse,
Speaker 2: what like why you're on the dating app?
Speaker 1: Agreed, just get off, Just get off.
Speaker 2: If you're too busy, get.
Speaker 1: Off free some time, just get it.
Speaker 2: Delete it's but it didn't affect me, and I just
Speaker 2: brushed it. I didn't evenly look for dates in my
Speaker 2: immediate area. If I can't throw a start outside the
Speaker 2: climate radius exactly anyway, that's where That's what I've been
Speaker 2: up to. Where you've been gallivanting around the world. I've
Speaker 2: been having these Problemsius, still single, still single?
Speaker 1: That makes two of us. Mate, Well, we'll get into
Speaker 1: the footy. What's news in the footy world? What's happened
Speaker 1: since we've we've dispersed.
Speaker 2: I did want to ask you about one thing because
Speaker 2: it clearly looks like you've blown out a bit.
Speaker 1: Now? Is this because fat?
Speaker 2: Looking fat? I can tell when you walked in the
Speaker 2: door that it felt like the air got tighter? Players?
Speaker 2: Wait now, I don't know if we're allowed to talk
Speaker 2: about this or if it's been a bit hush hush,
Speaker 2: but we're not. Apparently it's not. We're not allowed to
Speaker 2: discuss it. It's not a thing anymore. We're getting rid
Speaker 2: of it. Players, Wait, not a thing. How much do
Speaker 2: you weigh?
Speaker 1: I weigh right now one hundred and nine point two kilos.
Speaker 1: You shouldn't have told me, yeah, because you know, I'm
Speaker 1: just sorry. Tom Brown, careful?
Speaker 2: How one hundred. Are you over one hundred kilos?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Easy, I've always I was like one, like f
Speaker 1: fifteen last year. Wow, yeah, I know it looks skinny
Speaker 1: and I am, but jeez.
Speaker 2: Where are you keeping that? That's heavy? I'm like seventy five?
Speaker 2: What do you think of something like half for you
Speaker 2: height wise and weight wise?
Speaker 1: But okay, what are your thoughts on We're saying the
Speaker 1: ins and outs of twenty twenty four and players weights
Speaker 1: on the out?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Okay, well did they just Okay, now I've heard this
Speaker 1: now and I want to actually I'll make a comment
Speaker 1: around this. This might be a little headliner for you, right.
Speaker 1: I think weights and hides and all that stuff a
Speaker 1: bullshit anyway, because you just lie about it. I still
Speaker 1: don't think I'm that No, We've talked, We've said this before.
Speaker 1: I'm not one hundreds and sure I'm the tallest player
Speaker 1: to ever player listed as the tallest player to ever play.
Speaker 1: I fell, But I think that was a bit of
Speaker 1: a selling point to bring the American over here, to
Speaker 1: be like, hey, we've got a guy bigger than anyone
Speaker 1: that's ever lived.
Speaker 2: Here's is It's like when you tell people that you're
Speaker 2: seven foot when your Instagram account says you're six ten.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, well I tell people I'm six twelve to
Speaker 1: see how drunk they are. For the people out there
Speaker 1: twelve in just in a foot i'd be seven foot.
Speaker 1: But yeah, no players, wait, I think it's obias. And
Speaker 1: then also the interesting thing is is like what happens
Speaker 1: like I don't know if this is I don't know.
Speaker 1: Do they do this with the AFLW. Do they have
Speaker 1: players waits for NFLW and stuff? I don't believe. I
Speaker 1: don't think they'd want to go down that path and
Speaker 1: I don't think that's the right thing to do. So
Speaker 1: maybe that's a bit of like a we don't want
Speaker 1: to have rules for one and not the other.
Speaker 2: Does that make sense, Yeah, that's a possibility. Can they
Speaker 2: just say like, oh, he's looking trim?
Speaker 1: It's so different though, because like Swanny like six years
Speaker 1: ago was getting so much criticism and stuff and then
Speaker 1: now we've gotten to the point where we can't even
Speaker 1: like talk about it.
Speaker 2: But you know, if a player comes back from preseason
Speaker 2: and a professional commentator is there to commentate what he sees,
Speaker 2: what they see, Yeah, and you see Mason Cox plodding
Speaker 2: out onto the field. His guts is hanging over his shorts.
Speaker 1: Real dip twelve?
Speaker 2: Is he meant to just pretend that I don't see that.
Speaker 2: I don't see.
Speaker 1: That, not seeing this, not believing this, I don't know.
Speaker 2: You gotta Yeah, there's there's still gotta be like professional standards.
Speaker 2: You're gonna be held to account. But I guess you
Speaker 2: can do it through performance.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess you could probably show GPS numbers or
Speaker 1: something like that. Maybe I'm not sure, but I think
Speaker 1: you can only show the top five GPS runners. There's
Speaker 1: limits on that too. They cap that because they don't
Speaker 1: want people to be bashing all the players they're slow
Speaker 1: shit like.
Speaker 2: Me, my god, god, just a free run.
Speaker 1: I have the issue, right because like these things happen.
Speaker 1: As a big man, you're always at the back. You're
Speaker 1: always the heaviest. You know, you can lift some of
Speaker 1: the most weight of the club, but your statistics otherwise
Speaker 1: don't look too great, like your two K time trial
Speaker 1: and stuff like. I'm always the last one. And the
Speaker 1: problem was, once Brody left because Brody was behind me,
Speaker 1: I became the last one. So then now I'm the
Speaker 1: one that everyone has to make sure they're in front
Speaker 1: of because if you're behind me after the two k
Speaker 1: time trial, you got some catching up to do and
Speaker 1: you're going to be in fact club fight on golf
Speaker 1: FA but like you're gonna be doing a few extra
Speaker 1: bike sessions. Let's just say that.
Speaker 2: So yeah, I don't think it'll fly with your coaches.
Speaker 1: Now, we don't do two k time trial anyone. But
Speaker 1: if the.
Speaker 2: Coaches is like, mate, you're looking a bit unfit. You've
Speaker 2: got to get into like the extras camp and you go,
Speaker 2: excuse me.
Speaker 1: You say that, that's.
Speaker 2: Insulting, mate, Please step back?
Speaker 1: Oh man, interesting, go twenty twenty four players waits out.
Speaker 1: What's in the twenty twenty four is apparently Sam Mitchell
Speaker 1: getting sick in New York City.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, this is actually crazy because there's I don't know,
Speaker 2: it's not the only thing that happened to him while
Speaker 2: he was over there, but he got hospitalized in New
Speaker 2: York over the Christmas break with kind of pneumonia, but
Speaker 2: it was like multi level to it, so he ended
Speaker 2: up passing out, which was always a scary thing.
Speaker 1: Healthcare system great in America hopefully had travel.
Speaker 2: Do we want to take him to the hospital. Oh, Jesus,
Speaker 2: I don't. I want to have some money. But he
Speaker 2: was informed that he had a cocktail of issues that
Speaker 2: threatened multi organ failure, including multiple types of influenza combined
Speaker 2: with the bacterial pneumonia.
Speaker 1: That's serious.
Speaker 2: And on top of that, yeah, you know, if your
Speaker 2: holiday is not going that great, it is. Yeah, someone
Speaker 2: stole his passports.
Speaker 1: Stole his passports on top.
Speaker 2: And they had to track him down to get his
Speaker 2: passport back so he could get back to a trai.
Speaker 1: Essentially he's had the worst holiday possible.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well that's you know, that's one thing. So multi
Speaker 2: organ failure. Well Stevie j gutted himself with a knife
Speaker 2: that he was carrying in a bag. Yeah. So yeah,
Speaker 2: just apparently it went through him like a knife through
Speaker 2: a hot button. Yeah, trying to open it like he
Speaker 2: was working with a gate and just stabbed himself in
Speaker 2: the right. Here in the NFL world, it's all going down.
Speaker 2: No issues like that for you over the break. Didn't
Speaker 2: almost die. You've almost died a couple of times.
Speaker 1: Yeah, when we had the last road splin, internal bleeding
Speaker 1: last year, the eyes, a few other things.
Speaker 2: So you almost died before it was.
Speaker 1: College college college college may have cost me. Now, nothing
Speaker 1: too crazy this off season. Just just enjoying life, bredon, just.
Speaker 2: Enjoying well, enjoying life. But you have been beefing with
Speaker 2: g W s Now this is that's an ongoing beef.
Speaker 2: I don't know, and they.
Speaker 1: Keep dragging this out. This might be their favorite story
Speaker 1: of the year.
Speaker 2: And the latest one which.
Speaker 1: I still stick to my guns, never said anything that
Speaker 1: was untrue.
Speaker 2: Well, now it's bleeding into the club because they had
Speaker 2: a little crack at you at your grassy court, their
Speaker 2: grassy court. Yeah, the whole fiasco around that which was
Speaker 2: so blown out.
Speaker 1: They used to.
Speaker 2: But let's get into round zero because I want to
Speaker 2: know what your thoughts on a round zero is and
Speaker 2: why wouldn't they just do a split by and why
Speaker 2: the raining premiers have to go up to the showgrounds
Speaker 2: in Sydney universe GWS for round zero. It's it feels
Speaker 2: like we're living in a different world. Mace.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is a weird thing. Hopefully the easter shows,
Speaker 1: you know, light on the ground there three weeks prior.
Speaker 1: But yeah, round zero, I get it. From the AFL standpoint,
Speaker 1: they're trying to build the game up there in the
Speaker 1: North and that totally makes sense. And I think it's
Speaker 1: good because like Brisbane's gone well and He's going well,
Speaker 1: Gobs is going well. Like all these teams that are
Speaker 1: up there, like you know, you talk about Gold Coast
Speaker 1: is like moving off the ranks. Like all these teams
Speaker 1: are in that area are kind of now on the rise,
Speaker 1: if not at the top. And I think it's a
Speaker 1: perfect timing for them. That's probably while they're doing this,
Speaker 1: is they want to go cool, let's cash in on this.
Speaker 1: Let's make sure we make the most of them being
Speaker 1: at the top. So and then we get a mini
Speaker 1: fans and supporters to start coming out to the games
Speaker 1: more and everything else. And I think that's what this
Speaker 1: round zero is all about. Yes, would I'd rather be like,
Speaker 1: you know, saying that every premiership team, and I still
Speaker 1: think this and not outside of our search situation winning
Speaker 1: it last year, every premiership team should have the opening
Speaker 1: round and they should unfail the flag as the first thing.
Speaker 1: I think that would be a really cool, like you know,
Speaker 1: yearly experience that you do. And if that means that's
Speaker 1: round zero, I'm not sure, but I think that would
Speaker 1: be a cool thing to do. But I get what
Speaker 1: they're doing up there. I understand it, Gobos. I'm sorry, apologies.
Speaker 2: Don't back down now, we need the beef.
Speaker 1: That'd be exciting. Run one though, around zero, round zero
Speaker 1: and jbo ask a great team going really well, and yeah,
Speaker 1: it's going to be up there, their home ground being
Speaker 1: in by a point of prelim. You know, they were
Speaker 1: pretty close that year or last year, and I'm sure
Speaker 1: they'll have a little bit of fire in their belly,
Speaker 1: as they say, And yeah, you could find.
Speaker 2: So you're happy to go up there. Just clean the
Speaker 2: cow ship off the field after the show.
Speaker 1: And you're I thought Victoria Park was bad with dogshit.
Speaker 1: Who knows, maybe up there.
Speaker 2: Because the last time you versed them you had your
Speaker 2: shirt ripped off. There was a little bit of it's
Speaker 2: been bubbling away. I reckon it could really kick off
Speaker 2: in round zero. I think whatever happens in round zero
Speaker 2: stays in round zero. Yeah, no suspensions.
Speaker 1: It was you that was saying the other day, like
Speaker 1: you should show up in a cowboy hat and a
Speaker 1: bowlo tie boots.
Speaker 2: This was the NBA. You could roll up to the
Speaker 2: game on a horse.
Speaker 1: Geez. Now you're saying Pendles should right up.
Speaker 2: He can't. No one's going to call out pendals, but
Speaker 2: you can do whatever you want. I'm just trying to
Speaker 2: market it a bit.
Speaker 1: It's round zero, trying to build the game up in
Speaker 1: the north.
Speaker 2: Speaking of marketing, burning up the track, I've heard your boys.
Speaker 1: Someone tearing down the house. Someone's burning down the track
Speaker 1: in preseason. Who would have thought it's the same damn
Speaker 1: headline every year. Who's our top one or two of them?
Speaker 2: What's the what's the burning down the house?
Speaker 1: Oh baby?
Speaker 2: What's that? Tom Tom going going? Tom?
Speaker 1: Soothing? Sounds of Bredon's voice.
Speaker 2: Anyway, Fife and Dusty some old dogs apparently burning up
Speaker 2: the track now, don't we love to say it that
Speaker 2: Fivee's back. Yeah, we've been. We've been hearing all about
Speaker 2: his off season. Jamie Elliott, I hear is the next
Speaker 2: thing coming off half back for the past half back.
Speaker 1: The other day. His team whopped our ass the other day.
Speaker 1: It was tough when you see Jamie Elliott playing a
Speaker 1: position he's never played, just dominating, You're.
Speaker 2: Like, fuck just he could play anywhere and a freak athlete.
Speaker 2: Forwards like the hardest position as we all know. But
Speaker 2: I do want to get into a little bit of
Speaker 2: the n r L because the reason or some of
Speaker 2: the the reason that the NRL they're going to Vegas,
Speaker 2: which is some of why the round zero thing is
Speaker 2: coming in to get to get everyone up there. But
Speaker 2: NRL playing in Vegas. Not sure why, not sure how
Speaker 2: successful it's going to be. But you've kind of always
Speaker 2: wanted to go over there and play some games. And
Speaker 2: now the Major League Cricket is the thing. It's a
Speaker 2: thing in America.
Speaker 1: I think one of the team's names like the Unicorns.
Speaker 2: So you've got some grounds to play on over there.
Speaker 2: Would would you like to go over there and play?
Speaker 1: I think that's the end goal. The end goal is
Speaker 1: to have like an exhibition match over there and stuff.
Speaker 1: But like a lot of people like kind of give
Speaker 1: me flax, so, oh well, we ever go to the
Speaker 1: US and everything else, you know, And I understand where
Speaker 1: people are coming from. It's not like you don't go
Speaker 1: from now to next year playing there a game. Right,
Speaker 1: There's things you have to build, and you have to
Speaker 1: build an audience over there. You have to build people
Speaker 1: at care and I think like social media and TikTok
Speaker 1: and all these other things that we give our attention to,
Speaker 1: we can create stuff with AFL to help people in
Speaker 1: America realize it's an actual sports People don't know what
Speaker 1: it exists. Right. This is my plan IFL is to
Speaker 1: hopefully be able to do some of this and if
Speaker 1: you can kind of grow an audience over there and
Speaker 1: then get them involved in some sort and then say, look,
Speaker 1: we're doing something like the NHL did in Melbourne. Melbourne,
Speaker 1: out of place known for hockey right out a place
Speaker 1: known for cold or sorry known for cold, not a
Speaker 1: place known for ice and ice rinks. Yeah, but there's
Speaker 1: an NHL game here and it like will sell out.
Speaker 1: So if you can get that kind of audience that
Speaker 1: wants to see the game, you don't need to be
Speaker 1: selling you know, reliant stadium like NURL is trying to do,
Speaker 1: sell a smaller ground with ten thousand, Fill it out,
Speaker 1: make it look full like people who know what's going
Speaker 1: on and like having a good time and tailgating all
Speaker 1: this other stuff. Make a big event of it, right
Speaker 1: and just get like people's interest over there. I think
Speaker 1: that's the end goals to eventually get a game there,
Speaker 1: but it's like a five to ten year plan. Everyone's like, now,
Speaker 1: Heaven forbid, we go over there. We have to stick
Speaker 1: to Australia, we know, and that is how you never grow.
Speaker 2: But in five years you probably won't be playing I'm not.
Speaker 1: Going to, yeah, but then they'll be growing the game
Speaker 1: over there. That's gonna be my next thing.
Speaker 2: But you don't want to play over there.
Speaker 1: People keep asking me what we.
Speaker 2: Went there the next year the year after you could
Speaker 2: have a game there.
Speaker 1: You reckon u wes c Usa felt that's what I'm playing?
Speaker 2: Is that good?
Speaker 1: You got to win another premiership somehow.
Speaker 2: Let's jump into a bit of you know, we've gotta
Speaker 2: do some upkeep. We're gonna we're gotta clean the shirts,
Speaker 2: We're got to let people know injuries, key trades, all
Speaker 2: the stuff that happens that we're going to be you know,
Speaker 2: waiting for over the We'll start with the injuries, because
Speaker 2: they're the sad part, you know, before the fresh beginnings.
Speaker 2: So we got Dan McStay, obviously devastating, but also huge
Speaker 2: because it's you know, implications for the Collingwood forward line.
Speaker 2: You finally got a big tall key in there that
Speaker 2: you've been lacking for all these years. And I mean
Speaker 2: when you were strutting around up there, obviously I.
Speaker 1: Am sitting right next to you, Braden one.
Speaker 2: Hundred and forty kilos seven foot whatever you were. What
Speaker 2: does that kind of mean for the club? And you know,
Speaker 2: what are we going to see out there?
Speaker 1: It's gonna be an interesting little obviously, Damn stair was
Speaker 1: massive and I run last year and everything else, and
Speaker 1: it's sad to see him go down. But like I
Speaker 1: will say this though, damn stay right. He's been it's
Speaker 1: been about a month now, a couple of month and
Speaker 1: a half. He is looking swoll. He is, dude, this
Speaker 1: man is benching like I don't think there's enough weight
Speaker 1: in the weight room to put on that bar. He
Speaker 1: is swollen. At the moment, I saw him walking down
Speaker 1: the street a text us and man, he was wearing
Speaker 1: the singlet walking the dog. I said, looking good, bro heavy,
Speaker 1: oh man. But now he's uh, he's gone right. Obviously,
Speaker 1: it's a it's a frustrating thing. But he's in there
Speaker 1: training his ass off, trying to get back as soon
Speaker 1: as possible, and you know, we see him. It's training
Speaker 1: and stuff like you know the other day was kicking goals,
Speaker 1: you know, and that's it's like those little kind of
Speaker 1: moments I think of like accomplishments of being able to
Speaker 1: do one more thing and do something new and all
Speaker 1: that kind of keeps you in a positive mindset hopefully
Speaker 1: being able to see, you know, a bit of light
Speaker 1: at each you know, accomplishment or complete and completing whatever
Speaker 1: it is. But yeah, it's a it's a different kind
Speaker 1: of thing for our forward line. Ask Johnson been training
Speaker 1: the house down, wouldn't believe it, training the house down.
Speaker 1: Reef McGinnis training the house down like you Shoults train
Speaker 1: in the down. Brodie Meyerchak obviously just still doing Brodie
Speaker 1: Marchak things and just training the house down.
Speaker 2: Brady Mychek is the house.
Speaker 1: He is the house. He is the roof the foundation everything.
Speaker 1: He gets zero credit and does all the work for
Speaker 1: the Smalls to get all the love.
Speaker 2: I think now he's getting credit because every game, every
Speaker 2: week they're like.
Speaker 1: Jack Kicker for like seven years and no one would
Speaker 1: know that.
Speaker 2: When the commentators like, oh, he never gets the credit,
Speaker 2: it's like, well, you're a commentator, so it's your job.
Speaker 2: You can give him credit. But they always say, no,
Speaker 2: it doesn't get the credit. But there has been a
Speaker 2: couple of acls in the off season. We got Bailey
Speaker 2: Smith Ac.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Rough, there's a bit of contract talks around which you
Speaker 2: don't have contract. Yeah, I think this might be and
Speaker 2: then we'll see what happens.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 2: And then Jack Sylvanney a cl heart and soul of
Speaker 2: Carlton down there. And then a couple of kind of
Speaker 2: returns on the cards. Tom Lynch coming back from a
Speaker 2: broken foot, which they Richmond really need him because obviously
Speaker 2: losing Jack. So I have him back up and running.
Speaker 2: So he's running on the track, which is good to see.
Speaker 2: And then Clayton Oliver. You know, ups and downs over
Speaker 2: the off season, but he's returned to training, so we
Speaker 2: like to see that.
Speaker 1: I will say this, I'm gonna give I don't really
Speaker 1: know the situation what's going on there with him and
Speaker 1: everything else. But I did see him the other day.
Speaker 1: It was an early morning and he was there at
Speaker 1: the friend of his and he was playing. He was
Speaker 1: kicking a footy with him, so he was doing extra training.
Speaker 2: Good to see.
Speaker 1: Good to see. I was in full likra by kid
Speaker 1: everything else and he looks at me and I was like, man,
Speaker 1: this is not the outfit I want my friends to
Speaker 1: see me. And he just, you know whatever. Someone walks
Speaker 1: over and you're kind of sheeplessly like I don't want
Speaker 1: to get up and just have everything hanging out for
Speaker 1: him to see you now, And I'm like, I stayed seated,
Speaker 1: I think, and I shook his hand because I was like,
Speaker 1: I think this is a bit weird if I kind
Speaker 1: of you know, essentially a butt naked with a bit
Speaker 1: of skins.
Speaker 2: ONKRA doesn't hide a lot. I see a lot of
Speaker 2: lumps going through CRA.
Speaker 1: But that's not great as a compated.
Speaker 2: Clayton like, you're still the same high But no, he was.
Speaker 1: He was doing some extra training away from because he's
Speaker 1: come back, I think, and he's training with him now,
Speaker 1: so I will say that's what I've seen from him
Speaker 1: has come back and.
Speaker 2: To see everyone doing well, fit, firing healthy, burning the
Speaker 2: track up. So yeah, there's a few injuries there. But
Speaker 2: now let's look ahead to you know, the trades that
Speaker 2: we're excited to see, because trades are very exciting, Mason.
Speaker 2: You get to see some new guys come to your
Speaker 2: club that you've might maybe admired from Afar or you
Speaker 2: talk shit about him secretly wanting them to come to
Speaker 2: your team, Like I know a lot of Hawthorne fans
Speaker 2: are going to be like Jack guinnevn and now when
Speaker 2: he comes in the doors, he's like fucking love Jack Ginnovan.
Speaker 2: Let's start talking about some trades. Because big Goldie Goldstein
Speaker 2: went to Essendon. He's pushing forty five, forty six. It's
Speaker 2: good to see Essendon very much in their window, as
Speaker 2: we all know, picking up a very experienced.
Speaker 1: Rutlan, very experienced. He's a good ruckman too. But I
Speaker 1: don't talk trash on he I actually have got a
Speaker 1: lot of respect for gold saying.
Speaker 2: Hey, all for Goldie, get the bag wherever you go.
Speaker 2: So that's good for gold stand Now you got to
Speaker 2: think it's because you know Draper sometimes bit injured in
Speaker 2: and out, so you've got to have that back up
Speaker 2: very and he's got that experience. Can talk to the
Speaker 2: younger guys in the team. Good trade, good trade, nice trade.
Speaker 2: But they didn't stop there. They went Ham. They got
Speaker 2: Ben McKay half and half the same Kilder list, they
Speaker 2: got Jack Billings, Jade Gresham. So essenon loading up now,
Speaker 2: we don't know. It can be dangerous if you load
Speaker 2: up before your window, but we'll wait and see. We
Speaker 2: won't pre empt these things.
Speaker 1: I wonder if these are the things right whenever obviously,
Speaker 1: whenever you don't make finals, essence, you know, cops all
Speaker 1: his criticism like, oh, who do we sacks? We didn't
Speaker 1: make finals? Yeah, And I wonder if you kind of
Speaker 1: get to a certain point in a year and you go,
Speaker 1: you know, for people to keep their contracts, whether it'd
Speaker 1: be the board people, world be the coaches would be
Speaker 1: assistant coaches wherever it is, you're going to make moves
Speaker 1: right to make sure that people know that you're trying,
Speaker 1: and you're trying to like, you know, like it's a
Speaker 1: way of showing the world that, like, yes, we are
Speaker 1: making the efforts and making the decisions to try to
Speaker 1: give us the best position to make finals, right. And
Speaker 1: I think what they're doing is exactly that, because they're
Speaker 1: a bit under the pump over at AUS and I
Speaker 1: reckon with everyone there, because they were close to making fire.
Speaker 1: They the hopes up early, the other hopes up early,
Speaker 1: and then it went down. And that's whenever people get
Speaker 1: really filthy and they go shit, we need to make
Speaker 1: them happy somehow, trade a few people, get some excitement
Speaker 1: back into the club, and we'll try to get into
Speaker 1: the year and you have a good start.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, don't dip down too hard. Only time will tell
Speaker 2: if they should have just held off, gone to the draft,
Speaker 2: done it the long way. But you know some teams
Speaker 2: don't have to do it the long way. Geelong have
Speaker 2: been up there since I've been born, so they just
Speaker 2: keep going around Port Adelaide. They've loaded up. They got
Speaker 2: Ratitui boy, they got Soldo, they got Zurk Thatcher, sweet.
Speaker 1: Rated solo going to have a dominant year. Mustash Man
Speaker 1: big fan of Soldo.
Speaker 2: Sydney. Now they loaded up. They just stole half of
Speaker 2: Collingwood's players ex players. They got Brody Grundy. He's bound
Speaker 2: to just joop it off. It's just going to rip
Speaker 2: the lid off when he goes up.
Speaker 1: There Australia this year. Right now, Sena, right now, you
Speaker 1: can quote me from the very beginning before the season
Speaker 1: even starts. Brodie Grundy Australian ruck.
Speaker 2: Well, he did say that last year, and I reckon, we.
Speaker 1: Don't even talk about the past. This is the present.
Speaker 1: We're talking about now, living in the presence.
Speaker 2: They also got Taylor Adams and Handling, so they loaded
Speaker 2: up with some pretty handy players. Now Collingwood, they got
Speaker 2: Shultz who I don't know if anyone has Lucky Shultz.
Speaker 2: I don't know if you haven't seen any Frio games,
Speaker 2: because there's a lot of like it does annoy me,
Speaker 2: and it annoys a lot of Interstate fans when a
Speaker 2: genuine gun makes a trade and they come across to
Speaker 2: Victoria and then they play as well as they've been
Speaker 2: playing Interstate, and then the whole media landscape is like, Ah,
Speaker 2: this guy, it's just turned it on out of nowhere,
Speaker 2: and it's like, Lucky Shultz has been killing it for
Speaker 2: three oh four years now.
Speaker 1: He's gonna be top goal kicker this year. On you
Speaker 1: for a bit, Yeah, yeah, top goal kicker overbrod him
Speaker 1: time winter.
Speaker 2: Surely someone's found to take it from him eventually, Yeah,
Speaker 2: but I reckon if anyone's going to do it, Lucky
Speaker 2: Shilts could be doing it. Got it, you know. Unfortunately
Speaker 2: Jack Ginovan out made way for Shultz. Guinea over to Hawthorne.
Speaker 2: Surely sad to see him go.
Speaker 1: Big love from my man. Guinea caught up at BTV.
Speaker 2: Caught up a BTV. He was popular, he was.
Speaker 1: I can't imagine that man would be able to get
Speaker 1: around without people noticing him.
Speaker 2: He was undercover. It was like thirty five degrees and
Speaker 2: he had a scarf.
Speaker 1: With the scarfar that's it. Maybe that's what I need
Speaker 1: to do next year. We need to go and I
Speaker 1: help you just a doof drip stick just myself as
Speaker 1: a human.
Speaker 2: I don't think if you put a scarf on seven
Speaker 2: foot tall, one hundred.
Speaker 1: A blanker people, is a tree just a tree out
Speaker 1: the back. Yes, Guinea goes to the Hawks. Unfortunately, I
Speaker 1: got so much love for him. We all know on
Speaker 1: this podcast we love Guinea. He's an absolute legend and
Speaker 1: someone that always be part of that Premiership side obviously.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean in that scenario talk about Taylor
Speaker 1: Adams Guinea. They got these offers from these clubs that
Speaker 1: were longer play offers in the our club is willing
Speaker 1: to give them, and who knows what the finances were.
Speaker 1: But like people have to realize, this is a business
Speaker 1: where people need to set up the rest of their
Speaker 1: life and if someone's going to give you a job
Speaker 1: that's more secure for a longer time, you know you
Speaker 1: you do have to wear those things up and it's
Speaker 1: just an unfortunate part of this, uh, this industry. But
Speaker 1: you know, to lose players like that that are such
Speaker 1: hot caliber and good people. But at the end of
Speaker 1: the day, it's a you know, you gotta sometimes put
Speaker 1: yourself first, and you know, put your life and your
Speaker 1: kids and your family and your wife and all that
Speaker 1: and make sure you set up a decent future form.
Speaker 2: It's tired at the top when you you know you're
Speaker 2: going for those flags. It's tired at the top of
Speaker 2: even Obviously, if you win a flag, you've got a
Speaker 2: pretty good team, so you know you can go somewhere else.
Speaker 2: Team in the league, break, go somewhere else. You can
Speaker 2: get the cash. Jump on, talk about cash. Who else
Speaker 2: has signed this year? We have well, your boy quaint
Speaker 2: or Q five year resign.
Speaker 1: Man, the model himself, who don't do a bit of modeling.
Speaker 1: And I've told him for a long time, said, man,
Speaker 1: you've got the no offense, no offenses.
Speaker 2: It's like no offense. You are attractive, you are super.
Speaker 1: Attractive as a human, no offense. You have got the
Speaker 1: best rig at the club, maybe the AFL. I reckon,
Speaker 1: he's probably got the best rig in the AFL. You
Speaker 1: can clip that up and chuck it out. There, Braden,
Speaker 1: because I think there is zero percent of people who
Speaker 1: are going to disagree with that.
Speaker 2: No one asks, but love it, love it. And his
Speaker 2: brother came down and he's training with you guys, and
Speaker 2: he looks just as huge.
Speaker 1: That's scary, all Cigaret, Now, I should have been telling that.
Speaker 2: I think it's out and about Sean Darcy re signed
Speaker 2: three oh six years. What they need, what they love?
Speaker 2: Big fella down there, win taps you love it.
Speaker 1: Impossible to move tree trunks for lakes, just no chance
Speaker 1: in hell. He's getting out of his position once he
Speaker 1: gets s.
Speaker 2: He's a genuine big boy. If you're pushing your kilos,
Speaker 2: he's pushing.
Speaker 1: The wild thing is he's one of those freak athletic,
Speaker 1: freak athlete big boys like he would run a two
Speaker 1: k at like a ridiculous pace and you would go,
Speaker 1: how in the world is a man that that's, that
Speaker 1: has that much muscle mass on him can run that quick?
Speaker 2: Not fair?
Speaker 1: Not fair, It's it's a genuine freak. It's like you
Speaker 1: got big man athleticism.
Speaker 2: That's annoying for everyone else except for Freemantle. But we
Speaker 2: will touch We're going to touch on this a little
Speaker 2: bit more. In future episodes. We've got a couple of
Speaker 2: weeks we've got to build up to the season, so
Speaker 2: we're gonna.
Speaker 1: We're freaking back baby, Exciting time three every Tuesday. You
Speaker 1: better put it up on your calendars, boys and girls.
Speaker 2: We've been doing this for three This is the third
Speaker 2: Sick of Me yet sticking from the jump mate. So
Speaker 2: we do have some preseason games, but we'll probably get
Speaker 2: into them going into the other weeks because you got
Speaker 2: North Melbourne coming up at Arden Street hang Kango, first
Speaker 2: time back. Well, this is you're going to Arden Street.
Speaker 1: Weird thing.
Speaker 2: Speak about beef, you talk shit about them. I love them.
Speaker 2: You talked about him every other week last year, never
Speaker 2: and it's the first time back to Arden Street. Correct
Speaker 2: me if I'm wrong, since you were wearing head to
Speaker 2: toe North Melbourne kit running around there like a goose.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was a gangly giraffe that had no idea.
Speaker 1: What if I was trying to jump on a specky
Speaker 1: bag and handball of footy I've never seen in my life.
Speaker 1: I'm sure you'll clip this up into an embarrassment segment.
Speaker 2: Because they did a full video.
Speaker 1: They did a full hype video. I'm pretty sure. Like
Speaker 1: my brother was hit on by one of those people
Speaker 1: over there, and like they were trying to really, you know,
Speaker 1: find every angle to get me to come into themoove.
Speaker 1: And that's for sure. That had a great time. We'll
Speaker 1: say that Alisa Clarkson taking over that role obviously over there,
Speaker 1: and I think they're gonna, yeah, they're going to go
Speaker 1: up from there. He's gonna he's got experience and he's
Speaker 1: gonna be able to get him in a straight line. Say,
Speaker 1: be interesting in playing North Mamoor. I think it'll be
Speaker 1: one of those six quarter games. Everyone kind of gets
Speaker 1: a run, young kids get to go everything else right,
Speaker 1: which would be cool. So that down at Arden Street,
Speaker 1: you haven't been there since then, that was magic do
Speaker 1: all days. I met him for the first time, and
Speaker 1: Eric Wallace, the other American was there, the big, big fella.
Speaker 2: Times have changed.
Speaker 1: It's been a decade, that's crazy since that video came out.
Speaker 2: I don't do not say that that's soon move on
Speaker 2: to the next so concerning, but that'll be good because
Speaker 2: we'll look into all of that stuff. There's a lot
Speaker 2: of new coaches. There's obviously, you know, Clarko getting another
Speaker 2: year of it. Dimmer going down, Adam moves over at
Speaker 2: Richmond plenty happening, So we'll do a deep dive into
Speaker 2: you know, a season preview in the next couple of weeks.
Speaker 2: That'll be great. But we will jump in and talk
Speaker 2: about some feedback because we asked for your feedback of
Speaker 2: this podcast and it was awesome. The amount is so good,
Speaker 2: Like it was pretty you know, it was really constructive.
Speaker 2: I thought, you know, we'd get a bit of heat
Speaker 2: coming off of which we I like the heat, but
Speaker 2: it was very constructive.
Speaker 1: People were very good. I wanted people to say you
Speaker 1: were we were more ship. I was ready for what
Speaker 1: do we fix this and be like now you're doing
Speaker 1: well and I'm like, but how can we be better?
Speaker 1: Where's our where's our faults? Like now you're doing great?
Speaker 1: And I was like, give me something negative. Yes, we
Speaker 1: appreciated that, like, you know, yeah, did the polls and
Speaker 1: the questions everything else. It's that's actually really important for
Speaker 1: us legitimately, for us to make this thing epic, for
Speaker 1: you guys to enjoy the content and just to put
Speaker 1: a smile on your face. That's We're all about building
Speaker 1: this community and having a good time talking footy and
Speaker 1: interviewing crazy people and and just you know, living an
Speaker 1: epic life, well about it. So to get that feedback,
Speaker 1: to know exactly what you're you're enjoying and everything else
Speaker 1: is it's important for us. See.
Speaker 2: I think that's my goal. My personal goal for this
Speaker 2: podcast is for it to get so big that I
Speaker 2: get to, you know, ride your coattails to some events
Speaker 2: because I'm sick of just one last year that was good.
Speaker 2: You must have ran out of people because it was like,
Speaker 2: that's where we need more events. They need to be
Speaker 2: a hit less.
Speaker 1: What's the one you want to go to that is
Speaker 1: a great one event you want to go to.
Speaker 2: Well, I can't say a Grand Final because you'll be
Speaker 2: playing in it, so you won't be able to.
Speaker 1: I do. This is like, this is a dream goal
Speaker 1: on the Do you want to be filming content at
Speaker 1: a Grand Final? I'm playing it in the background.
Speaker 2: No, I don't want to be working. I want to
Speaker 2: be drunk.
Speaker 1: You were looking at me.
Speaker 2: It was a bit of what I want to happen.
Speaker 2: Is we get tailgating in Australia up off the ground.
Speaker 2: That's what I want that to be our thing. Tailgate dude,
Speaker 2: let's do it. So, yeah, if we can get the
Speaker 2: balls like the wheels in motion on that and then
Speaker 2: when you you know, hang up the boots in three
Speaker 2: to five years or so, you're just you know, you're
Speaker 2: Jason Kelcey or whatever. Shir oh, yes, smashing into Taylor Swift.
Speaker 2: Yet no, and we hold. I don't want to hear
Speaker 2: about any beads or anything. Isn't that what you did?
Speaker 1: I sounded sexual, but we'll move on. Don't you give
Speaker 1: her beads?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 1: It's yeah, it's bracelet's breadst give it a pair of beds?
Speaker 2: Is your name on it?
Speaker 1: Go?
Speaker 2: Well, how you got to do something to cut.
Speaker 1: Through the noise, and it cut through. So we're willing
Speaker 1: to sell your soul every once in a while. But yeah, no,
Speaker 1: thanks everyone for the feedback and everything else. I want
Speaker 1: to shout out someone real quick, this man sitting us
Speaker 1: intagonus and something that was hilarious. We've had some funny
Speaker 1: things go through this podcast, from the al Fallus poster
Speaker 1: that was given hilarious shout out to the person in
Speaker 1: Africa that bought our merch that that was amazing. Hopefully
Speaker 1: she's hearing this. We want to say a massive thank.
Speaker 2: You that was like in front of like a giraffe.
Speaker 1: It was like it was I can't remember the country.
Speaker 1: It wasn't like the congo or something.
Speaker 2: Person that was in the background on the broadcast holding
Speaker 2: up our stuff, our freaking legends of people come to
Speaker 2: training and like where the gear met A guy in
Speaker 2: Port Fairy that was wearing the gear came to the
Speaker 2: footy show.
Speaker 1: I had like, ah, loving it, absolutely loving, so a
Speaker 1: lot to be thankful for. But this man Hessey mate,
Speaker 1: he made an AI creation. I'm worried, Braiden. I'm very worried.
Speaker 2: It was too accurate.
Speaker 1: It was it was way too accurate. This is an
Speaker 1: AI recreation. He was upset because we hadn't done the
Speaker 1: podcast in so long. I said, make give it three days.
Speaker 1: We're back at three days. Brother, You've come at the
Speaker 1: very end, and I think he maybe pushed out the context. Shit,
Speaker 1: how did you get this done? But he did an
Speaker 1: AI like redo of us in a podcast and had
Speaker 1: our voices, and our voices were like spot on, yeah,
Speaker 1: just bang on, And I was like, we're out of
Speaker 1: the job, Brad Chicken. Is that a way that we
Speaker 1: just literally created a podcast like us and no one's
Speaker 1: gonna know if it's actually us or not. They're gonna
Speaker 1: think it is.
Speaker 2: I was thinking I could get out of a couple
Speaker 2: of shifts here and there. I was very good on that.
Speaker 2: I don't actually don't mind him. I might be AI
Speaker 2: Brandon looked too, he looked pretty good. I don't know.
Speaker 2: AI Mason looked shocking.
Speaker 1: I think one of us was aied into a dragonist.
Speaker 2: I was like when I saw it, I was like
Speaker 2: concerned because it was pretty much why we haven't done
Speaker 2: a podcast for six months. Angered the footy gods, and
Speaker 2: we're back to appease them for a third straight year
Speaker 2: because it's been working so far. Every time we've done
Speaker 2: a podcast series, you made a prelim, you won a
Speaker 2: Grand Final.
Speaker 1: What's after that?
Speaker 2: If it ain't broke, don't don't fix it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe we go to the super Bowl next Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're just putting it out there. That's another thing I
Speaker 1: want to do the atmosphere. Mahow goes on tour.
Speaker 2: With Filthy Phil Cocks our talk tour of the States.
Speaker 1: Oh dude, Actually, I want to put this idea out
Speaker 1: there and I need to get people to get behind it.
Speaker 1: Maybe tag my father in it. I want to get
Speaker 1: a tattoo with my father, a premiership tattoo with my father.
Speaker 1: We film it. My mother would be fucking pissed. I think,
Speaker 1: if we're gonna get me, I asked him. I think
Speaker 1: he's kind of keen. But my mom was in the
Speaker 1: room whenever I asked him, So I think if I
Speaker 1: got yeah, I think if I got him away, got
Speaker 1: a few people on the you know, the twitters and stuff.
Speaker 1: He's on Twitter, he's big tweeter guy x Twitter, Instagram,
Speaker 1: you know. And just said, Phil, you got to get
Speaker 1: the tattooed Mason. If you get him pressured, I reckon,
Speaker 1: you might do it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And what about what about a sponsor? We can
Speaker 2: look back on this episode and be like, whoa, Like
Speaker 2: all these things happened because I reckon, Filthy's got to
Speaker 2: be the head of the tailgate, like he's got to
Speaker 2: be on the barbecue smoker. But I think, like, we
Speaker 2: got to get your goggles so you can't put a
Speaker 2: sponsorship on them. I reckon, we get some flames going,
Speaker 2: we get some pit viper sponsors, we get some I.
Speaker 1: Reckon, we can get a sponsorship. It's a short name.
Speaker 1: I could probably get three letters on the side. I think, yeah,
Speaker 1: pit vipers, the dream hit Vipers. Maybe that should be
Speaker 1: my pre game, like sunglasses hit Vipers.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well they can't do anything free game, surely.
Speaker 1: I mean, like why can't you? You can you have
Speaker 1: to wear the club logos and stuff. I can wear whatever,
Speaker 1: glasses and whatever hat I want.
Speaker 2: To feel like, that's I think we're cooking.
Speaker 1: I reckon it's gold chain or something. Maybe a grill.
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe you need shoes.
Speaker 1: Maybe not thinking what can we push the AFL to
Speaker 1: get too pissed at?
Speaker 2: This is a medical gold chain. These are medical grills.
Speaker 1: I need these. They give me a season assist the
Speaker 1: day before, knowing the experience that I've had with them.
Speaker 2: Mam, we' gott to wrap around. Well, let us know
Speaker 2: what we should dream for, because what's what's our twenty
Speaker 2: twenty fourth part of it? You're gonna you're going to
Speaker 2: force people into achieving our dreams.
