Speaker 1: Hey, Legends, welcome back to the Mason Cock Show. We
Speaker 1: have a big, big episode. It is rivalry round as
Speaker 1: a mouthful. We've got the Q Clash, Battle of the Bridge,
Speaker 1: who's the best in Adelaide, Carlton versus Collingwood. There are
Speaker 1: some massive, massive games this weekend. We're gonna preview them
Speaker 1: all and see who he thinks gonna win this. It's
Speaker 1: gonna be an epic episode, so let's get straight into it.
Speaker 1: All right, Legends, big episode, it is screw. We're gonna
Speaker 1: call it rivalry round this round. There was plenty happening.
Speaker 1: There is a lot of beef between all these teams
Speaker 1: playing this weekend, so we'll get straight into it. But Brighton,
Speaker 1: welcome to the podcast.
Speaker 2: Thanks for having me. Mate, So I can't calling with Cartoner.
Speaker 1: The rival say, so, there's got a decent rivalry.
Speaker 2: Going probably go into the rivalry territory. Have you had
Speaker 2: some big against Caldon? Have you had some kicked four
Speaker 2: or five, six, seven?
Speaker 1: Guys? I actually haven't, to be honest, I feel like
Speaker 1: every time we play Carleton it's a low scoring affair.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no team wants to lose.
Speaker 1: It's a very just it's a really in and under
Speaker 1: real physical content.
Speaker 2: I think you'll want a piece. Last year, yeah, on
Speaker 2: a piece, so who knows? Who knows? Both right up
Speaker 2: there again this year, let's jump into the fixture because
Speaker 2: it starts Thursday night. Adelaide versus the Port of Adelaide.
Speaker 2: Now this is going to be an absolute showdown. You
Speaker 2: could say Port without Eli earlier, pal Pepper and Rosie
Speaker 2: some big injuries last week, big injuries not.
Speaker 1: Ideal for them and Adelaide, you know, playing North Melbourne
Speaker 1: pumped them. I think they scored one hundred and thirty
Speaker 1: eight points last week, so they've gotten a bit of
Speaker 1: confidence going into this game and playing Adelaide that's probably
Speaker 1: going to have to shift a few magnets to be
Speaker 1: able to fill their spots from some big timeouts. Is
Speaker 1: going to be an interesting one. So I don't know,
Speaker 1: I don't know what it's going to get. I kind
Speaker 1: of want to put it out there that this might
Speaker 1: be the upset of the round Adelaide beating Port Adelaide,
Speaker 1: but I'm going to save it. I want to save
Speaker 1: I am going to choose Adelaide though, but I'm not
Speaker 1: going to make a big deal about it. I'm not
Speaker 1: feeling great. I'm feeling great about.
Speaker 2: My cocklock got up from last week. I had Melbourne
Speaker 2: over Richmond put myself out time. You were a bit
Speaker 2: like yeah, yeah, they were at the start. I was like,
Speaker 2: what's Richmond doing? Come on? This is my I can't
Speaker 2: have this. Do you remember what your cocklock was? I
Speaker 2: think did you have Port Port beating Port beating Saint Kilda?
Speaker 2: Port beat in Saint Kilda? Yeah, at home? I think
Speaker 2: that was your cock clock.
Speaker 1: So we both got cock clocks got up last week.
Speaker 1: I love that. How do you have for this game?
Speaker 2: I'm just going to stick with I think it's smart
Speaker 2: to just go with Port. Now. We got concerned we
Speaker 2: could be like lulled into a sense of like a
Speaker 2: false economy. They did beat but a lot of people
Speaker 2: are bet North, to be honest. So I'm gonna stick
Speaker 2: with Port until they give me a reason to jump
Speaker 2: off them. Now, those injuries, a lot of injuries, big
Speaker 2: big outs. I'll back them to cover it against Adelaide.
Speaker 2: I feel like Adelaide can just get up for these though,
Speaker 2: So I don't know. Yeah, I'm gonna go. I'm gonna
Speaker 2: go Port. I'm not confident though.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, we'll I'm going Oudelaide, You're going Port.
Speaker 1: We're going to the next game Saturday, Sydney versus WS
Speaker 1: Battle of the Bridge.
Speaker 2: I've been waiting for these for years where just you know,
Speaker 2: they they've been thereabouts most years. Early days GWS was
Speaker 2: this stinker and but yeah, I'm looking forward to this
Speaker 2: because as the top four battle. As it stands, both
Speaker 2: teams inside the top four, both teams looking so good
Speaker 2: in form. Yeah, I think the best part about it
Speaker 2: is they're like ball users, both so clean, so crisp,
Speaker 2: so damaging. It's going to be interesting to see. It's
Speaker 2: going to come down to who can get their hands
Speaker 2: on it. They've both got you know, Taylor Adams is
Speaker 2: in now for Sydney and Luke Parker just played in
Speaker 2: the reserves and he's he got forty odd touches tuned
Speaker 2: it up. So I feel like he comes back in.
Speaker 2: I don't know at the expense of who, because all
Speaker 2: their players are so good, but you know, you've got
Speaker 2: to get some You've got to get the ball winners
Speaker 2: in there to get it to the outside because they've
Speaker 2: got so many clean users of the ball. How do
Speaker 2: you see it play now?
Speaker 1: I've got gbis winning this one. I think just based
Speaker 1: on forward line. Yeah, NOWS has got very potent forward line.
Speaker 1: Jesse Hogan's been on fire this year and I think
Speaker 1: there's just a few more options for them going forward
Speaker 1: than what Sydney has at the moment. Still Sydney has
Speaker 1: a great forward line doing me wrong probably up there
Speaker 1: and everything else. But I think GWS has a few
Speaker 1: more options going in there. They probably trust a bit
Speaker 1: more and I think that's what's going to get them
Speaker 1: over the line. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they've been very consistent. I feel the thing with
Speaker 2: GWS is has proven last year and already a bit
Speaker 2: this year. They can win kind of anywhere anytime with
Speaker 2: any squad in like they had. Obviously they lost against
Speaker 2: Carlton at Marvel was their first loss for the year,
Speaker 2: but you look at what they did to Brisbane on
Speaker 2: the weekend in Canberra, but they didn't have Toby Gran
Speaker 2: they who's their defender, Sam Sam Taylor Sam Taylor out
Speaker 2: as well and no problems, no problems at all. Then
Speaker 2: last year they pretty much wanted every stadium in Australia, like,
Speaker 2: they traveled so much.
Speaker 1: So you travel over to the SCG, Yeah.
Speaker 2: So, but my point is like I feel like, no
Speaker 2: matter what you throw at this GWS team, they can
Speaker 2: get it done. Whereas it like I've seen Sydney falter,
Speaker 2: I've seen them waiver a bit. So I'm gonna go.
Speaker 2: GWS got back my boys.
Speaker 1: Back your boys. Top four class. That's going to be
Speaker 1: a big one for the Battle of Bridge. Now, next
Speaker 1: up we have Saint Kilda versus North Melbourne at the iconic,
Speaker 1: beautiful Stadium of Marvel Or you can hear the excitement
Speaker 1: in my voice.
Speaker 2: Look, they can't all be winners, they can't all be winners,
Speaker 2: but we got.
Speaker 1: Either one of them or last week. So this is
Speaker 1: gonna be an interesting you know what.
Speaker 2: Happens in this I guarantee this happens. This is my
Speaker 2: absolute Just gaze forward a little bit, Yeah, yeah, this
Speaker 2: is my and I can see Bulldog's Hawthorne coming up.
Speaker 2: I can see a couple of This is my absolute
Speaker 2: cock clock because I tell you what, Saint Kilda needs
Speaker 2: a win as a reward for effort. They've been super consistent,
Speaker 2: they're all about pressure, team orientated, they've been doing all
Speaker 2: the right things and so far this year they've I
Speaker 2: think they lost three games in a row by like
Speaker 2: one point three points, six points or whatever. They got
Speaker 2: a little smashing and then they came out they lost
Speaker 2: last They're just losing by kind of a kick or two.
Speaker 2: But they mean it's been consistent. They've just been consistently
Speaker 2: on the wrong side of it. So I feel like
Speaker 2: coming up against North, any team that's coming up against North,
Speaker 2: I think they need to look at it as a
Speaker 2: game they have to win, and I feel like they
Speaker 2: do it and they do it in style just to
Speaker 2: get some confidence up and to get some reward for
Speaker 2: effort because they need it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've got to say I've got saying killed a
Speaker 1: beating North Melbourne pretty convincingly over at Marble Stadiums. It
Speaker 1: is one of those things I think they you know, King,
Speaker 1: you need to get going in the forward line. You
Speaker 1: need to make them feel like you're getting the connection
Speaker 1: between the meds and the forwards. And if they can
Speaker 1: do that for this North against this North Melbourne squad,
Speaker 1: who knows what will happen. Because there was a lot
Speaker 1: of hype around Saint Kilda then all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: I feel like it's kind of died after the last
Speaker 1: few weeks.
Speaker 2: So their forward line as well, because King's been out
Speaker 2: and then they've had now Higgins is probably going to
Speaker 2: be out. We don't know the result as we stand.
Speaker 2: And then yeah, they've got a pretty young Ford line
Speaker 2: like they've got Cameranitie up there and the likes, So
Speaker 2: a bit more consistency out of those guys as they
Speaker 2: progress in age. But ye, they'll get it done over
Speaker 2: North because North, I don't know, they've been struggling. They've
Speaker 2: been struggling.
Speaker 1: Well, it's going to another game. It's gonna be a
Speaker 1: big one over at the MCG. We've got Melbourne and
Speaker 1: versus Geelong. Melbourne obviously a top team, Geelong undefeated. What
Speaker 1: do you see happening here?
Speaker 2: This is tasty, This is so tasty.
Speaker 1: This is a This is a real caution for Geelong.
Speaker 1: I think this is a is a testing game to
Speaker 1: see kind of exactly where they're at. Last week is
Speaker 1: also a testing game. They did really well against Carlton.
Speaker 1: But Melbourne, I think at home home game, Oh, it's
Speaker 1: going to be a battle. It's going to be an
Speaker 1: absolute battle. I mean, I'm gonna get on Melbourne over this.
Speaker 1: It's going to come down to lever May. Cameron Hawkins. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's going to be a juicy little match up there
Speaker 1: in the fourth.
Speaker 2: Lon Well, at least, you know, when Geelong come up
Speaker 2: against Melbourne lever and may have something to worry about.
Speaker 2: They've got two very big things to worry about. They've
Speaker 2: got Jeremy Cameron and good Luck. You need the whole
Speaker 2: back line to play on him to stop him. And
Speaker 2: Hawkins is just the man mountain bean, a bit quiet.
Speaker 2: But if that's a dry game, you know under lights,
Speaker 2: I don't know, it's going to be super exciting, one
Speaker 2: of easily obviously one of the games of the round.
Speaker 2: But I'm going to go with Geelong. I just feel
Speaker 2: like both teams, you do look at them and you
Speaker 2: feel like you see some holes that could be exploited,
Speaker 2: but teams just haven't been able to do it. So
Speaker 2: it must be really good like game plan and structure.
Speaker 2: And then both teams are very mature and they have
Speaker 2: the experience out there to tell the younger guys where
Speaker 2: they need to be, what they need to be doing,
Speaker 2: and they just seem they're both on that plane though.
Speaker 2: That's the interesting part where it's just like I feel
Speaker 2: like they're both mature, they'll know when to go fast, no,
Speaker 2: when to go slow, and know what to do. It's
Speaker 2: just going to be I hope it's a tight battle.
Speaker 1: I hope for sure. I've got I'm going to go
Speaker 1: Melbourne winning this game. And it's like I said, it's
Speaker 1: going to come down to that bat on the Geelong's
Speaker 1: forward line, I think, and I think I have to
Speaker 1: put I mean dangers out now has done his hamstring.
Speaker 1: I think the midfield of Melbourne will probably get up
Speaker 1: over Geelong. If they can keep that kind of territory
Speaker 1: and keep it on their front half and you know,
Speaker 1: not allow the Geelong kind of forwards to get into
Speaker 1: the game, then they'll have a lot better chance of
Speaker 1: coming out with this win. So I've got Melbourne winning
Speaker 1: this game, Geelong not being undefeated after this round.
Speaker 2: I hope it's a tight one. Because on the other
Speaker 2: channel we got West Coast Stadium. It could be interesting
Speaker 2: now West Coast have been showing up. They won two
Speaker 2: on the trot and then you know, had a bad
Speaker 2: quarter last week, so a bad quarter and then well
Speaker 2: you know very much how good they are because you
Speaker 2: had the draw last week. So yeah, it could be
Speaker 2: a very interesting game. We could also see a lot
Speaker 2: of teams now use, especially Victorian teams that don't have
Speaker 2: to travel that much, use it as a chance to
Speaker 2: galvanize and get the whole team together. They go over
Speaker 2: like they're going into a metaphorical battle against the West
Speaker 2: Coast Eagles. So I don't know, this could be an
Speaker 2: interesting one. I still have to Harley Reid. They rested
Speaker 2: Harley Reid last week. Interesting choice because unless they know
Speaker 2: that he's banged up, proper banged up, he's in ripping
Speaker 2: form and they're winning games. So you'd have to imagine
Speaker 2: they know that he's banged up, but he was killing
Speaker 2: it red hot form. So if he comes back in
Speaker 2: which I assume he will, it makes it a lot
Speaker 2: more interesting game.
Speaker 1: I think it will be interesting. I think I would
Speaker 1: assume Holy Reed comes back at home in front of
Speaker 1: an Optis crowd. You'd love to see the kid come
Speaker 1: over there and perform, so be performing a S. Then
Speaker 1: I've got them beating West Coast here. I know it's
Speaker 1: a It's no, it's gonna be a little bit closer
Speaker 1: and plably what most people probably think. I think it'll
Speaker 1: be a three or four kind of gold game between that.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I've got them, just I don't know we're
Speaker 1: playing them. Last last week, I felt like there was
Speaker 1: a lot of experience in like the way they kind
Speaker 1: of played and the way they flooded numbers back and
Speaker 1: stuff like that, and their midfield ability to kind of
Speaker 1: get from contest to contest was elite and it was
Speaker 1: it was something. I think West Coast is probably going
Speaker 1: to struggle with a little bit over there, and we'll
Speaker 1: be interesting to see kind of how it goes. But
Speaker 1: I've got SDN winning the Spy at least a couple
Speaker 1: of goals.
Speaker 2: Now I've changed, I'm going West Coast.
Speaker 1: Ah, there we go. So we feel like.
Speaker 2: It's because Essendon had the whole hype and build up
Speaker 2: and you put everything into an exact day.
Speaker 1: They've got a break too. They probably like a ten
Speaker 1: DA breakout.
Speaker 2: Yeah, then we got the big break. I'm still going
Speaker 2: West Coast. I'm on the Harley Red train to let's
Speaker 2: move over to Sunday. We call this the hangover Day.
Speaker 2: Richmond Frio MC one o'clock. Richmond stuck on one win
Speaker 2: for the year and Freo just moved inside the eight mm.
Speaker 2: So how do you see this point playing out? Because
Speaker 2: Freo traveled pretty well well they did last year.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they traveled pretty well. I'm gonna have to go
Speaker 1: for real free on this one. Richmond's going to have
Speaker 1: a little bit of a They have so many injuries
Speaker 1: and stuff, it's tough to pick them. They've you know,
Speaker 1: Hopper injured last week. That was kind of frustrating for
Speaker 1: them obviously.
Speaker 2: And personnel problem for I feel like.
Speaker 1: Their FOURD line is they're they're struggling to have kind
Speaker 1: of like a key pillar up there just is going
Speaker 1: to draw the ball into They've got the two rucks
Speaker 1: they're playing and they're trying to kind of have that
Speaker 1: person fill that role, but they're not seeing bang for
Speaker 1: Buch at the moment. Yeah, it's tough whenever you're playing
Speaker 1: Melbourne last week against you know, May and Leave like
Speaker 1: we had mentioned. But I think Richmond they have to
Speaker 1: find a way to be able to continually pressure opposition
Speaker 1: and make them fumble it and make mistakes for them
Speaker 1: to score off turnover and if they can do that,
Speaker 1: that's their best chance of winning. But I think Freo,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to pick them. They like I said,
Speaker 1: they travel well. I've got them, got a bit of
Speaker 1: a confidence this week after losing the West Coast a
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago on the derby, and I think
Speaker 1: they'll be they'll be all right. Versus Richmond is at
Speaker 1: the MCG, which you know Richmond is home ground. But
Speaker 1: I've got Freeo winning this y is.
Speaker 2: We'd like to put that that down to a blip.
Speaker 2: We know Frio is good. They got a good forward line.
Speaker 2: There are a lot of tall timber up there, and
Speaker 2: then their midfield and you've got Jackson, Darcy and Nat
Speaker 2: Fife back to his old ways. Caleb's a wrong Andy Brayshaw.
Speaker 2: It's yeah, it's a dangerous team. So hopefully they're up
Speaker 2: and running. I reckon, I want to see Frio do well.
Speaker 2: So I think Frio come over here win at the
Speaker 2: G during the day, not in the big spotlights, not
Speaker 2: that much pressure on. Just come over and you know
Speaker 2: a little snatch and grab type thing. To Western Bulldogs
Speaker 2: versus Hawthorne Marvel Stadium, four pm. The Dogs need to win.
Speaker 2: If they lose this, the pressures all back on.
Speaker 1: Pavilion never stops with the wasting Bulldogs at the moment.
Speaker 2: Well, you know what it's like when you get into
Speaker 2: this little period of like wins and losses, and.
Speaker 1: It's an expectation of being in the eight from their fans.
Speaker 2: But yeah, well you go into every week and as
Speaker 2: the teams you should beat, you need to beat them.
Speaker 2: They're not like, oh, we should have won and we
Speaker 2: just dropped it. Unlucky. You need to beat Hawthorne. You
Speaker 2: really really need to beat Hawthorne. They're obviously coming off
Speaker 2: as stinging loss, but hopefully they just ignored the scoreboard
Speaker 2: again and Western Bulldogs can get the win. They've still
Speaker 2: got the interesting forward line mix, now even more interesting
Speaker 2: because they've got Cody Weightman coming out and they've got
Speaker 2: Mara to come back in. But they've still got Lobby,
Speaker 2: Sam Darcy, Aaron Norton. Everyone's so tall, Yes, they're so
Speaker 2: freaking tall.
Speaker 1: If you're playing defense against them, you just get the
Speaker 1: ball to ground and figure the rust out.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, pretty much.
Speaker 1: If you can stop them from taking marks inside their
Speaker 1: ford fifty, I think you'll be fine. You'll just be
Speaker 1: able to work your hands out of there. Next thing
Speaker 1: you now you're on the other side of the field.
Speaker 1: So I mean, I've got the Bulldogs winning this at
Speaker 1: Marvel Stadium. I'm hoping I bought Caleb's back end, Caleb
Speaker 1: Daniels playing this week, because hey, they're going to need
Speaker 1: to have a good kick to get into that ford
Speaker 1: to fifty because if you don't have good kicks into
Speaker 1: that ford fifty four to fifty, pressure is probably not
Speaker 1: going to be a great indicator for the Western Bulldogs
Speaker 1: being all that tall tenber up there. So I've got
Speaker 1: the Bulldogs winning this, but Hawthorne, I think hopefully they
Speaker 1: show up and you can put a bit of a
Speaker 1: fight up for this one and it might be a
Speaker 1: bit closer.
Speaker 2: Again, we think JJ's been good too lately, so I'm
Speaker 2: going to go Western Bulldogs for that one. Now we
Speaker 2: move into a massive this is massive see massive clash
Speaker 2: of yes, enormous proportions. We talk about the Q clash
Speaker 2: Brisbane versus Gold Coast at the Gabba under Light seven
Speaker 2: ten huge game. Let's go because if Gold Coast win this,
Speaker 2: believe it or not, they could jump into the eight
Speaker 2: and Brisbane could be two and six. What do we
Speaker 2: think is gonna happen in this game? Because I tell you,
Speaker 2: as it stands, Brisbane are still favorites going into this
Speaker 2: game by a sizable margin.
Speaker 1: Interesting if it's at the Gabba, so I mean, I
Speaker 1: would say that's a positive for Bersion, but they have
Speaker 1: yet to win there this year, so that's kind of
Speaker 1: a question mark. Gold Coast winning last week I performed,
Speaker 1: Brisbane got kind of blown out last week. It's gonna
Speaker 1: be my game of the round. I will sure say
Speaker 1: that Battle of Queensland up there, it's gonna be greatful, foody.
Speaker 1: I think both of them kind of be in somewhat
Speaker 1: of a news and media kind of attention around what
Speaker 1: they're doing up there. And I mean, I can't go
Speaker 1: past my Gold Coast signs. I've got my Gold Coast signs.
Speaker 1: I've got Brisbane going two and six, and there are
Speaker 1: the top ache. They are the top egg Brighten in
Speaker 1: the season, the top eight.
Speaker 2: We're going, Oh, we don't even know what other results are.
Speaker 2: I assume they're going there. I want Gold Coast to
Speaker 2: win this game purely for the fact that it would
Speaker 2: be the first time in recent memory that I can
Speaker 2: recall where you know, you wanted Gold Coast to stand
Speaker 2: up and go, we're here, we're here, where we're going
Speaker 2: into the A. We want this moment and they take it.
Speaker 2: I can't really remember a moment ever like that in
Speaker 2: their history. So it's like I would love them to go, like,
Speaker 2: bring it on, let's take it to Brisbane. It's their
Speaker 2: chance to prove that, you know, they're a good footy club.
Speaker 1: Hey, we're building statue of Dimmer outside People's stadium after
Speaker 1: this game, baby, I know it.
Speaker 2: Leading us to the promised like making finals would be
Speaker 2: freaking huge. It's a long way out, but this is
Speaker 2: kind of one of the first step. So I'll go
Speaker 2: gold cut love that.
Speaker 1: Oh that's a huge. W Oh that's so. It feels
Speaker 1: good down.
Speaker 2: I don't know if I believe it, but I'm going.
Speaker 1: I just said it. Well, on to the next game.
Speaker 1: We've got Friday night thriller Carlton versus Collingwood at the MCG.
Speaker 1: It's going to be a massive crowd, a big game
Speaker 1: football teams.
Speaker 2: Yeah, nervous. Unfortunately, as I've mentioned every week on this
Speaker 2: Sam Gaston's wedding Friday afternoon wild Why.
Speaker 1: For Carlton nothing to be putting that on a Friday
Speaker 1: afternoons in saying it'll probably be there for the game
Speaker 1: start too.
Speaker 2: So this bay he's a Carlton fan and he's organized
Speaker 2: his wedding five thirty Friday, The Night of Carlton Collingwood.
Speaker 2: I don't know what he's doing, but I mean I'm
Speaker 2: looking forward to it. It's going to be a great
Speaker 2: night that we will all cherish and remember forever. But
Speaker 2: will his team win or will the Collingwood Football Club prevail? Massive?
Speaker 2: One last time? If you remember a bit of a
Speaker 2: crazy game, Charlie bobbed up kicks six six. That's a
Speaker 2: lot of goals, a lot of goals, and Jeremy Howe
Speaker 2: was pushed forward and kicked three. Yeah, and then it
Speaker 2: was everyone was asking if how he's going to be
Speaker 2: the new Ford and created a bit of a stir.
Speaker 2: But how do you see this game playing out? Because
Speaker 2: you're gonna have to go up against the Frenchman and.
Speaker 1: The counting big boys. Yeah, it's gonna be interesting one. Obviously,
Speaker 1: a massive crowd Friday Night, thriller, big rivalry. I mean
Speaker 1: this week is just full of ries, absolutely top four
Speaker 1: of them. It's always an awesome game, Like there's so
Speaker 1: much attention and stress and anxiety and excitement. Never all
Speaker 1: the emotions. I kind of go into this game from
Speaker 1: the supporters and you know, obviously it's quite a bit
Speaker 1: of beef between Carlton and Collingwood. They always say you
Speaker 1: can have you know what, is it like a really
Speaker 1: bad season, but as long as you beat Carlton were happy.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: I remember back in the days of whenever we weren't
Speaker 1: winning games, that was the one thing you always were told. So, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a massive game. I mean, if we're
Speaker 1: sitting there and who we're gonna pick, obviously you're gonna
Speaker 1: pick Collingwood being a calling Wood player. But yeah, it's
Speaker 1: gonna be It's gonna be great. It's a great matchup
Speaker 1: in the middle. Two very experienced teams, I feel like
Speaker 1: with some of the midfielders, So gonna be going against
Speaker 1: each other with Patrick Cripps and Pindles and everyone else.
Speaker 1: And you know, the big thing is Charlie and the
Speaker 1: other boy mcconnie. Yeah, so if we can stop them
Speaker 1: from kicking six like Charlie did last time, they'll help
Speaker 1: us definitely. But there are two guys that are absolutely
Speaker 1: killing it in the Ford line. Blake Acres going really well,
Speaker 1: Sam Walsh has going really well. Their team is, you know,
Speaker 1: firing on all cylinders at the moment. So it's gonna
Speaker 1: be a massive challenge for us, and hopefully we can
Speaker 1: kind of, you know, stem the flow of what they're
Speaker 1: able to do and get the win over the weekend.
Speaker 2: It's going to be a massive when both teams are
Speaker 2: up and about. It's scary. They just got one hundred
Speaker 2: thousand members. Collin would have been doing that for a bit.
Speaker 2: But it's good to see that. Good to see they
Speaker 2: they got there. But yeah, massive, hopefully. I don't know
Speaker 2: if you go back kick an give it to them
Speaker 2: on the mark all the standard Mason cock stuff. Coming
Speaker 2: after long break, you're feeling any different coming off a
Speaker 2: long break? Do you notice it?
Speaker 1: Yeah, you definitely have the recovery because we had the
Speaker 1: five day break and then in two essentially, I think
Speaker 1: it's like an aid or nine day break we've had now,
Speaker 1: So you just give that body a little bit extra
Speaker 1: time to recover or fill your cup up with other
Speaker 1: things outside of football that you enjoy and you know,
Speaker 1: get a bit of happiness in the life. So it's yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it's definitely a good feeling. Anzac Day is an amazing,
Speaker 1: incredible experience, but I guess one of the downsides of
Speaker 1: it is it kind of falls on a day and
Speaker 1: you just have to figure out the schedule around it.
Speaker 1: And being a five day break or sometimes even like
Speaker 1: a four day break. You know, we've had into Anzac days.
Speaker 1: It's it's kind of crazy. So it's it's nice now
Speaker 1: being on the back end of that, being able to
Speaker 1: get a bit of a longer break on its a
Speaker 1: big game like this is exciting.
Speaker 2: Do you hate Cohen?
Speaker 1: Do I hate Carleton? Yeah? Yeah, I think it's I
Speaker 1: think it's like you have to write, like, as long
Speaker 1: as you wear the black and white stripes, you can
Speaker 1: never like Carlton, right yeah, just the.
Speaker 2: Whole aura of them. Just hate them. You don't want to.
Speaker 1: That's the thing, right Carlton and Collingwood are sometimes similar
Speaker 1: fanatical people, right yeah. They're very very gun ho for
Speaker 1: the team. You have to respect that. And then the
Speaker 1: other one is the exact opposite and well as far
Speaker 1: as they support, right yeah, but they're very very passionate
Speaker 1: about their supporting of their team. So I understand Carlton.
Speaker 1: I understand where they come from and why they are
Speaker 1: the where they are, and I think they understand the
Speaker 1: way that we are. But you know, there's very much
Speaker 1: that that rivalry and hatred towards each other that kind
Speaker 1: of builds this whole thing is as a massive game
Speaker 1: that's going to happen on Friday Night.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's less about the individuals that you
Speaker 2: hate on the team and more just if my mate,
Speaker 2: who's a cult and supporter, if they get a win
Speaker 2: and he won't stop chirping me all week until well
Speaker 2: all year, until you really get the next win. It's painful.
Speaker 2: It's very very painful. But yeah, that's that's kind of
Speaker 2: it for the game reviews. So let's jump into the
Speaker 2: fan questions, which we love a lot.
Speaker 1: Better for the fans social every single week we put them.
Speaker 2: Up love it on Instagram. Jump over, let's go into
Speaker 2: the footy questions. This from Nimen Nimen. Who on field
Speaker 2: gives you the most lip? Who's that little chattering?
Speaker 1: No? No, no, no no no, there's not too many. There
Speaker 1: used to be a lot when of our first started.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of people who are like, get off here,
Speaker 1: your stupid Yankee, you dumb American, get fucked. There's a lot. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean it was pretty easy. I was doing stupid
Speaker 1: shit like you know, throw on the ball and you know,
Speaker 1: just trying to knock people's heads off. I didn't really
Speaker 1: understand the rules either, which didn't help. But not too
Speaker 1: many people talk too much trash nowadays. I feel like
Speaker 1: people were somewhat Whenever you're around for a decent amount
Speaker 1: of time, you can't get to know people, so it's
Speaker 1: kind of like you're not not necessarily mates, but like
Speaker 1: you respect each other a bit more. Yeah, but I'll
Speaker 1: say one team that does chirp quite a bit as Brisbane.
Speaker 1: You got Zorka over there. Metroblinson was another one that
Speaker 1: was up there. They love a bit of chattered, a
Speaker 1: little bit of chatter, and I think it's part of
Speaker 1: their whole kind of like trying to intimidate the opposition.
Speaker 1: But yeah, there's not to me that do it now.
Speaker 1: Is probably one of the ones that comes to mind
Speaker 1: over the years, and I think everyone's pretty well aware
Speaker 1: of his tactics, you could say, of that, So that's
Speaker 1: probably the number one that comes to mind. I would say, yeah,
Speaker 1: little fella down there's always the little fellas and you
Speaker 1: just kind of look at him and you're like, come on, mate,
Speaker 1: come on.
Speaker 2: The hair ruffle. Before a hair ruffle, who do you
Speaker 2: think will succeed you from it's him, you like, in
Speaker 2: terms of rock, one day you will be deceased to
Speaker 2: the football. Well, and who's going to replace you?
Speaker 1: Who?
Speaker 2: Do you see that?
Speaker 1: Be? Well, Darcy Camera's you know, he's obviously he's playing
Speaker 1: rockman now. So I'm still pretty young, isn't He's still
Speaker 1: pretty young? Yeah, yeah, so he'll be there for a while.
Speaker 1: And you know, I'm splitting kind of roles between the
Speaker 1: rock and the Ford line and film gaps that we have.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I think Darcy Cameron father the one that
Speaker 1: comes to mind. You know, I've got you know, Beggy
Speaker 1: and Steeney. They're going really well. And you know, even
Speaker 1: like last year we had like Billy Frampton who was
Speaker 1: playing rock whenever Darcy and myself were out. Tall he
Speaker 1: is tall, and he's big, he's stocky. So there's a
Speaker 1: few guys we can kind of throw into that position.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I'm not really sure. I think it'll be
Speaker 1: interesting to kind of, you know, see and once it
Speaker 1: is all done said and done, to see kind of
Speaker 1: you know, who know, you kind of pass the baton
Speaker 1: and the torch on too, to have that in career
Speaker 1: once you're done and it's going to be great to
Speaker 1: see and hopefully, you know, you can help them get
Speaker 1: to that point and be you know, a bit of
Speaker 1: a mentor and someone that can help them strive and
Speaker 1: succeed in their career, especially in the early days. So
Speaker 1: Darcy Cameron's probably the one that comes to mind, obviously
Speaker 1: with the way it's going, but you just never know,
Speaker 1: never know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it could be Todd Goldstein comes across fiftieth club
Speaker 2: and he's one hundredth year. I don't think what's the
Speaker 2: best part about Anzac Dave Footy that's from Jay ah Man.
Speaker 1: I think some of the storytelling is really cool. I
Speaker 1: love the storytelling that you probably don't hear too much
Speaker 1: throughout the year, and then obviously whenever the day comes around,
Speaker 1: it's an incredible moment to be able to tell the
Speaker 1: war stories of people and people have fought for the
Speaker 1: freedoms we take for advantage of every single day, and
Speaker 1: it's pretty incredible, like you just try to put yourself
Speaker 1: in those shoes, but you never fully can, and it
Speaker 1: is one of those things. It brings you back to
Speaker 1: just how fortunate you are as a person whenever you
Speaker 1: do hear these stories, So that's kind of one of
Speaker 1: my favorite things about it. You know, I think Australia
Speaker 1: does it really well, phenomenally well, paying respects to the
Speaker 1: ANZACs and people have served, so I know America is
Speaker 1: big on it too, and it's amazing to kind of
Speaker 1: and I know they would feel the love too, and
Speaker 1: it's amazing to be part of that day and you
Speaker 1: feel extremely honored to be able to help bring attention
Speaker 1: to it by playing a football game, which is you know,
Speaker 1: very minuscule and the whole kind of grand scheme of things.
Speaker 1: But to be able to bring the media attention and
Speaker 1: everything else and be able to tell those stories on
Speaker 1: TV is one of the best parts of the day
Speaker 1: through footy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it is nice. I always like hearing the stories.
Speaker 1: That's cool. It's yeah.
Speaker 2: I have this one from Josephine. How do you get paid?
Speaker 2: Match payments and salaries set for it? How's it all away?
Speaker 1: I want to dive into the details of my contract
Speaker 1: because that is not public knowledge, although somehow the media
Speaker 1: tends to release numbers that don't marry up with it.
Speaker 1: But that's okay. We all like to lie in the media,
Speaker 1: don't wait anyway. So yeah, now there's two different ways
Speaker 1: I think players get paid in the AFL, Right, there's
Speaker 1: match payments and there's salaries. So some of the older
Speaker 1: people have been there for a little bit longer, they'll
Speaker 1: get paid salary, they'll know what they're you know, their
Speaker 1: income is going to be for the year. And then
Speaker 1: there's some of the younger players, for second year players
Speaker 1: and stuff. They'll have match payments where they get paid
Speaker 1: their salary based salary, and then they get paid extra
Speaker 1: based on how many AFL games sorry AFL games they've
Speaker 1: played throughout the year. So depending on where you're in
Speaker 1: your career, depending on your contract situation, it's very different.
Speaker 1: But yeah, sometimes match payments for the younger fellas can be,
Speaker 1: you know, a big deal. Whenever you're eighteen, nineteen years old,
Speaker 1: to get a big trunk of payment every single time
Speaker 1: you play a game, it's pretty amazing. And yeah, it's
Speaker 1: just it's wild to think for some of the guys
Speaker 1: that haven't really had work experience, all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: you get these opportunities to make decent money at a
Speaker 1: young age.
Speaker 2: Did you ever go out and buy something when you
Speaker 2: first got your your salary?
Speaker 1: The first thing I ever spent my first check on
Speaker 1: It is actually a weird story. And if I ever
Speaker 1: ever told to be honest, but my first paycheck I
Speaker 1: ever got first playing a game, my first what do
Speaker 1: you call bonus? I guess you could say I ended
Speaker 1: up giving the whole thing back to the two people
Speaker 1: that helped me the most, which was Craig McRae and
Speaker 1: Anthony Rockett.
Speaker 2: General questions, what would you rather be? Three foot or
Speaker 2: nine foot?
Speaker 1: Jake the foot and nine foot dude? Nine foot?
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, it comes with a lot of problems.
Speaker 1: Yeah, nine foot. I think three foot.
Speaker 2: Like you already complained about how tall you are, imagine
Speaker 2: being like another two.
Speaker 1: Foot, I'd be absurd. I wouldn't do that, all right.
Speaker 1: I mean I'd just be living in nature. I wouldn't
Speaker 1: have the ability to live in a house. Just a
Speaker 1: sad Seriously, you would if you're three feet tall, I mean,
Speaker 1: like you're just getting kicked everywhere you go.
Speaker 2: Well, I don't I think there's a limit to Like,
Speaker 2: you wouldn't play footy because it's like seven foot you're
Speaker 2: still like mobile. Nine foot you're a freak, Like I
Speaker 2: don't think you can move or run or like anything.
Speaker 1: Nine foot you can play in the NBA, though, and
Speaker 1: you make a hell of a lot of money.
Speaker 2: Yeah, if you just have to stand under the rim
Speaker 2: in case.
Speaker 1: The rim is literally under your arms, if you stuck
Speaker 1: your hands.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you're not really earning stacks at three foot
Speaker 2: because it's a chimney sweep or.
Speaker 1: Something that's nightfoot, a nightfoot.
Speaker 2: We want to jump into this because I've brought it
Speaker 2: down as various because there's so many people that ask,
Speaker 2: but they want to know, what's your review of the
Speaker 2: new Taylor Swift.
Speaker 1: Album thirty one songs, thirty one thirty one songs? Yes,
Speaker 1: I have it fully so like what happens when these
Speaker 1: albums come out, right, you need a full day to
Speaker 1: dissect the full album? Yeah, right, because it's not just music.
Speaker 1: It's not just words on you know, on an album,
Speaker 1: it's it's a story. And like every song is a
Speaker 1: story of the exploy, friends, the new boyfriend, Kim Kardashian,
Speaker 1: all these things, right, and you have to really go
Speaker 1: down the rabbit hole. And I haven't done that yet. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm very kind of aware of a lot of different
Speaker 1: things from this album of what's going on, but I
Speaker 1: haven't had that full day to sit down and dissect
Speaker 1: song by song what is going on? And that's that's
Speaker 1: why I'm really looking forward to it. So they're all
Speaker 1: really good, Like I really like the album. It's good,
Speaker 1: but I need that that that moment. I feel like
Speaker 1: the Swifties out there understand you need that day just
Speaker 1: to fully go into that, you know, that black hole
Speaker 1: of just sorting out what every sentence and every lyric
Speaker 1: is about.
Speaker 2: Just does it have a vibe? Is it like a
Speaker 2: is it a breakup lie? Is it a new relationship?
Speaker 2: Is it like a whole thing? Is it like sad?
Speaker 2: Is it happy?
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say it's not like a pop album, like really,
Speaker 1: it's a I don't know the proper terminology to describe it,
Speaker 1: to be honest. On Travis Kelcey, yeah, she did one.
Speaker 1: She did one with him, which is pretty cool to
Speaker 1: see that be I don't think she's ever really done
Speaker 1: one about like because her relationship is very public right
Speaker 1: with Travis, and she's never really been like that. So
Speaker 1: it's kind of cool to hear a song be made
Speaker 1: about something that's a very public entityeth that makes sense.
Speaker 2: So imagine this right, this is this could send you
Speaker 2: just away with the fairies. But right, Taylor Swift is
Speaker 2: like Mason, I want to start dating you have this
Speaker 2: awesome relationship. Right, she brings out a new album and
Speaker 2: you hear a song about you, and it's her just
Speaker 2: saying how much she's in love with you. What would
Speaker 2: it mean to you just listening to that song? How
Speaker 2: would you react?
Speaker 1: I would think it would be it'd be kind of weird,
Speaker 1: to be honest, because then you're going, like this goes
Speaker 1: into folklore of like, if it's a really good song
Speaker 1: that becomes very popular, I'm going to hear this song
Speaker 1: for the rest of my life.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And then it could be scary at the same time,
Speaker 2: because you know there's a flip side.
Speaker 1: Well here's the other side exactly. Look at Adele, right.
Speaker 1: Adele's like albums. Right, she goes through a breakup, She
Speaker 1: writes a fire album every single time she goes through
Speaker 1: a breakup, and it's like iconically done for the rest
Speaker 1: of the life. So if you're the guy that you
Speaker 1: broke up with, you're like, well, you know the whole
Speaker 1: Rolling in the Deep album, like you're welcome. So yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean what I got out of that is Taylor
Speaker 1: Swifts interested and yes, I will date you.
Speaker 2: You're in the car listening to her album for the
Speaker 2: first time, and your song came on.
Speaker 1: Take of approval first from the person you're.
Speaker 2: In the car. You just take off and fly off
Speaker 2: into the clouds. But that's yeah, that's a good question.
Speaker 2: He's still listening. Uh this one, I can't really read
Speaker 2: out the name there, but thoughts on Starbucks.
Speaker 1: Starbucks Now, Starbucks is an iconic coffee brand back in
Speaker 1: the US, very much different here. It's the same. So
Speaker 1: it's all over so you see it in every.
Speaker 2: Major city from taste and all that stuff. But it's
Speaker 2: like it's sugar.
Speaker 1: It's sugar with coffee, right, And it's a crime in
Speaker 1: melbourn because Melbourne's got the best coffee in the world.
Speaker 1: To go to a monopolized kind of place that you
Speaker 1: can get anywhere in the world. Yeah, it's not rot.
Speaker 1: It's just a it's a terrible And I have like
Speaker 1: Americans that come over here and they're addicted to Starbucks
Speaker 1: in the US and they come here and like, oh,
Speaker 1: I've got to get my Starbucks coffee in the morning,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, there are a million different options that
Speaker 1: are way better than that here in Melbourne. You can't
Speaker 1: do that. That's like this absolute sin. But then in
Speaker 1: America they don't have all these different things of you know,
Speaker 1: whenever you order a coffee, it's a very different order
Speaker 1: because they do like the they don't do like the
Speaker 1: cold drips and stuff. They just have like black coffee
Speaker 1: right where.
Speaker 2: Their sizes are like bucket and fucking bucket.
Speaker 1: Ocean. It is very different. But I love the Melbourne
Speaker 1: coffee way better than Starbucks. If you want something that's
Speaker 1: super sugary and sweet and everything else, Starbucks is You're
Speaker 1: probably your go to in the US, and a lot
Speaker 1: of Americans love that. So it is a monopoly that's
Speaker 1: killed it over there. And yeah, you get the whip
Speaker 1: cream and everything else on top, stuff you will not
Speaker 1: see in a Melbourne coffee store.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, that's a good one. Now we all know
Speaker 2: that you went and saw Tones and I and Live Golf.
Speaker 2: What were the highlights of both?
Speaker 1: I Live Golf was epic Australian's one, which was awesome.
Speaker 1: Their team won and beat out the South Africans in
Speaker 1: like a playoff hole which was insane. So like the
Speaker 1: build up and there was like one hundred thousand people
Speaker 1: that had gone through over the weekend. South Australia put
Speaker 1: on an absolute show for it. Eighteen holes obviously being golf,
Speaker 1: and they had the twelfth hole was the party hole,
Speaker 1: which is like a par three, so you can instantally
Speaker 1: get a hole in one maybe and everyone's losing their
Speaker 1: mind and you got Fishers too, and shoeies and people
Speaker 1: were throwing shoes left, run and center and drinking drinks.
Speaker 2: Ever.
Speaker 1: It was just insanity. And I did rummage down there
Speaker 1: and it spent about fifteen minutes down there the little
Speaker 1: party area. It was absolutely sober, so it was a
Speaker 1: very interesting experience for me. But said hot everyone, you
Speaker 1: know whatnot and then yeah, we went out and tones
Speaker 1: and I was performing on Friday night, which was awesome.
Speaker 1: Incredible artist obviously a Melbourne local and someone that we
Speaker 1: all kind of you know, I guess our role. She's
Speaker 1: an amazing role model for the girls out there and
Speaker 1: she's an incredible human being. Absolutely love her and it
Speaker 1: was great to see her performing over there. It was awesome.
Speaker 1: Fisher was the second day. He was amazing. I've got
Speaker 1: to go up backstage with him and it was just
Speaker 1: as a wild scenario of just seeing like that iconic
Speaker 1: photo of like the DJ and the foreground and like
Speaker 1: tens of thousands of people just like fully scattered and
Speaker 1: they're all in the palm of this guy's hand. It
Speaker 1: was just insane. So cool man, so cool, and he's
Speaker 1: heasy legend. Say, it was awesome and I had a
Speaker 1: great time. I met a lot of live people over
Speaker 1: last year in Miami, and you got to catch up
Speaker 1: with them, and yeah, they're just really good people. And
Speaker 1: you get to you know, I think good things happen
Speaker 1: to good people, and you get to hang out with
Speaker 1: them and just catch up with what's going on in
Speaker 1: their life and people get married and everything else, and
Speaker 1: it's yeah, it was awesome. It was a great time.
Speaker 1: I loved it, and I definitely will be back. And
Speaker 1: well done, well done Adelaide. Well done Adelaide for hosting
Speaker 1: an amazing event.
Speaker 2: I will say that I think Adelaide a killing it.
Speaker 2: Like they're going.
Speaker 1: Really well man like between that and the gather round
Speaker 1: over the last two or three years. Peter. I think
Speaker 1: it's Peter. Their premiere is He's loved by all the locals.
Speaker 1: I feel like as of recent.
Speaker 2: They've got the wine over there too, which you can't
Speaker 2: go past the one. Now, let's jump into dating from
Speaker 2: fighting chickens. How far in the relationship do you let
Speaker 2: them know you're not exclusive and you're actually part of
Speaker 2: the Goggle Gang.
Speaker 1: Not exclusive and part of the Goggle Gang. Wow. I
Speaker 1: would say, if you're going to tell someone you're sorry,
Speaker 1: if you're going to tell them you're not exclusive, do
Speaker 1: it as soon as possible. Yeah, be forthright with these things.
Speaker 1: Tell them from the beginning.
Speaker 2: And I feel like, just let everyone know you're in
Speaker 2: the Goggle Gang.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that's a that's a pre elite gang.
Speaker 1: So yeah, And I think it's it's it's always best
Speaker 1: to be upfront with people and let them know your
Speaker 1: intentions before because the longer it goes, the more awkward
Speaker 1: that conversation is. Whenever you're not on the same page. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And it's just a tough thing to to break someone's
Speaker 1: heart who thought it was more than what it was
Speaker 1: and stuff like that. I think it's just best to
Speaker 1: be open and honest.
Speaker 2: Good call. That's a good call. Are you more likely
Speaker 2: to date someone that has no idea about football or
Speaker 2: someone that likes football?
Speaker 1: I no idea, no idea about football. It's my preference.
Speaker 1: I think it's kind of like if you kind of
Speaker 1: dated someone you worked with, you know, be kind of.
Speaker 2: Weird one of your coaches, and you get home and
Speaker 2: their lecture and knew about hardball gets.
Speaker 1: It's very odd.
Speaker 2: I watched the game, what was this hit out? And
Speaker 2: they got tape.
Speaker 1: You want someone to be supportive of your career, right,
Speaker 1: but you don't want them to be obsessed about your career.
Speaker 1: That's weird. Like for someone to sit there and like
Speaker 1: be a Collingwood nuffy and want it. I couldn't do it.
Speaker 1: So I'm going to say someone who probably doesn't really
Speaker 1: know a lot about football is probably my preference.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's fair because yeah, they're dating you and they're Collingwood.
Speaker 1: Your question whether the day you or you're dating the
Speaker 1: player Dacos Oh he's going to miss his unfortunately.
Speaker 2: Nick like.
Speaker 1: Good guy, good guy. Yeah, that's a sketch you on.
Speaker 2: That's a bit of good question. Tell us about your
Speaker 2: experience dating inter cultural girls.
Speaker 1: INTERculture cultural So.
Speaker 2: Take us back to when you first moved to Australia
Speaker 2: and then you started dating. Obviously the Australian girls where
Speaker 2: they what was the difference So they.
Speaker 1: Get a mine, you want to go out and catch
Speaker 1: a couple of drinks to your mind. It was it
Speaker 1: was interesting. It was a very different right, because like
Speaker 1: everyone's into different things, whether it be you know, sports
Speaker 1: are very different here. People are just a different thing. Like,
Speaker 1: but the way people grow up is totally different in
Speaker 1: Australia than America. America goes off to college, you leave
Speaker 1: home at an early age, you grow up, and then
Speaker 1: you kind of go to another city after that and
Speaker 1: you start your career and you start your life there.
Speaker 1: Where in Australia, one thing I've noticed is people grow
Speaker 1: up in a city and a lot of times end
Speaker 1: up in that city at the same time. And that's
Speaker 1: very different from back home, I feel like. So that
Speaker 1: was a bit of a shock. I mean, like I
Speaker 1: left home at eighteen, so whenever I came over here,
Speaker 1: I was like, people were like, twenty three, twenty four
Speaker 1: are still at home, and I was kind of like, well,
Speaker 1: it was like so foreign to me and so odd.
Speaker 1: So that kind of that threw me for a bit.
Speaker 1: And I've always been super independent, so I've always kind
Speaker 1: of wanted to do my own thing. But yeah, Australian
Speaker 1: women are amazing they're incredible, They're awesome. I'm saying this
Speaker 1: because I'm just trying to leave a chance out there braidon.
Speaker 1: But they're because they're all listening, will kill me otherwise.
Speaker 1: But it is very different to dating American women. I
Speaker 1: think it is a different upbringing, different kind of things,
Speaker 1: like like people here talk about what school you went
Speaker 1: to right away, yeah, and no one says that back
Speaker 1: home in America. No one's like, oh, you went to
Speaker 1: what high school? And it's like everyone's like what college
Speaker 1: did you go to? What university did you go to?
Speaker 1: So there's differences in that of kind of like what
Speaker 1: connects people and what people value and what people want
Speaker 1: to talk about and things like that. So sometimes is
Speaker 1: a bit awkward for me to sit there and go,
Speaker 1: I didn't go to school here. I have no idea
Speaker 1: what you're talking about. I don't know. I don't connect
Speaker 1: with you about this. You know, let's move to another subject. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: So that's that's been an interesting one for me to
Speaker 1: guess work around.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I'd be like, strokes, look at the size
Speaker 2: of your dingo, mate, Yeah, I don't. I don't like
Speaker 2: to talk about my school. My school got demolished because
Speaker 2: it had too much aspest us in it. But I
Speaker 2: feel like country people explained a country people are the
Speaker 2: same because we had to move. I moved down here.
Speaker 2: I used to get up and milk the cows when
Speaker 2: I was four months old, and then used to carve
Speaker 2: all my clothes out of a tree back home and
Speaker 2: then move into the big smoke Jesus A bit, it's
Speaker 2: a bit hard to get used to it. Anyway, Let's
Speaker 2: jump into what's the biggest age gap you'd date now?
Speaker 2: This is thirty three?
Speaker 1: Thirty three? Yeah, yeah, young buck. They I've been told
Speaker 1: the way you can do this. I think this kind
Speaker 1: of works mostly right. So there's a certain cutoff obviously
Speaker 1: with everything. But I think with like older, like the
Speaker 1: older you get, right, it's not as weird to date
Speaker 1: someone like that's you know, five years younger, ten years
Speaker 1: younger in the ear. Yeah, so if you're like sixty,
Speaker 1: it's not weird to dates fifty, where if you're like,
Speaker 1: if you're thirty, it's kind of weird to date someone
Speaker 1: that's twenty. So I say, and I've been told this,
Speaker 1: and I think it kind of works somewhere. It's half
Speaker 1: your age plus seven is the youngest you can get.
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, quick math, quick math, half your age, half
Speaker 2: my age because I'm an even number, I'm thirty four.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so half my age. What is that? Sixteen plus seven.
Speaker 2: Seventy seventy plus seven, twenty four, twenty four. Hey, if
Speaker 2: any twenty four year olds want to talk to me.
Speaker 1: No, that's the lower ends.
Speaker 2: No, this is my my thing. I just I can't
Speaker 2: relate to someone that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree. I'm like, there's a certain cutoff for everyone,
Speaker 1: and like there's a certain preference for certain people, right, yeah, probably.
Speaker 2: What do you say, twenty eight twenty eight. I feel
Speaker 2: like because comes into it my immaturity, So like I
Speaker 2: can't date anyone my age because I'm I'm below them,
Speaker 2: below that maturity. Okay, yeah, yeah, so I got to
Speaker 2: go a bit younger. So mate, Yeah, after your.
Speaker 1: Age plus seven is my advice for most people. There
Speaker 1: is a cut off for that as far as age.
Speaker 1: I have to keep saying that. I feel like that's
Speaker 1: an asterisk.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but yeah, I reckon around around twenty eight twenty
Speaker 2: nine something, because you if you want kids and stuff,
Speaker 2: you've got to be in the same ballpark for like,
Speaker 2: wanting to do that in your life, Like it's a
Speaker 2: big thing for like obviously both, but like the woman
Speaker 2: has to put the life on hold work and like
Speaker 2: all that stuff. It's a massive ass. So it's really
Speaker 2: you got to figure that out, but you don't.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's that career. I think the two things you
Speaker 1: have to kind of juggle and see what you're.
Speaker 2: Well, you see, seventy year old dad's out there. Now.
Speaker 2: I don't even know how that's possible shooting dust. But

Speaker 2: jumping into that, I did ask for people to DM me,
Speaker 2: and I did get I did get a lot of
Speaker 2: d ms. Now, probably a third and a third and
Speaker 2: a third. It was like a third of people thinking
Speaker 2: that I'm depressed and alone, and hey, they're not that
Speaker 2: far off. But it wasn't it wasn't a cry for
