1
00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:04,040
Speaker 1: Two Good Sports would like to acknowledge the traditional owners

2
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:06,400
Speaker 1: of the land on which we record this podcast that

3
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:09,840
Speaker 1: will rundery people. This land was never seated, always was,

4
00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:10,840
Speaker 1: always will be.

5
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:16,640
Speaker 2: Hello and welcome to.

6
00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:19,880
Speaker 1: Two Good Sports sports news told differently. I'm Georgie Tanney.

7
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:20,680
Speaker 2: And I'm Abby Jomian.

8
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:24,400
Speaker 3: On today's show, Georgie cannot contain her excitement because, dear listener,

9
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:27,160
Speaker 3: we were meant to commence our first record of this

10
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 3: podcast in July.

11
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 2: Do you know why we couldn't?

12
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:33,640
Speaker 3: Because one little Swifty out of this duo chose to

13
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:37,760
Speaker 3: boost the global economy and fly to the US to

14
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 3: see Miss Taylor Allison Swift in concert. And fun fact,

15
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 3: it's sure as hell, wasn't me. Georgie is the biggest

16
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:49,239
Speaker 3: Swifty you'll ever meet, so much so that on her

17
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:52,519
Speaker 3: other little side job, the Project, they questioned her about

18
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 3: why swift Mania just takes over a body.

19
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 2: Here's a clip.

20
00:00:57,800 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 1: All of you can actually sit at the desk with

21
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 1: me right now because I'm just radiating nerves and anxiety

22
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 1: and desperation.

23
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 4: You like this stuff generally, but what's the difference with like.

24
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:08,680
Speaker 5: What's.

25
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:17,199
Speaker 1: She's She's everything to me. I'm like I am insane, passionate, crazy, whatever,

26
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 1: superlative you want to get.

27
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:20,679
Speaker 6: A lot of things, but more about her.

28
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 1: More so about Tay. I have gone to every single

29
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:24,960
Speaker 1: concept that she has ever come to Australia. So I've

30
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 1: grown up with her, like I've my first concert that

31
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 1: I went to see her. I think I was like sixteen,

32
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:30,399
Speaker 1: like when Love Story came out, and then it's like

33
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 1: I have followed her ever since then. And also it's

34
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,040
Speaker 1: a spectacle, I would say, I mean, I Got was

35
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 1: lucky enough to go to Harry Styles when he was

36
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 1: here and it was a really fun time, like it was,

37
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 1: you know, two hours of fun. But it's not like

38
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 1: a spectacle. He doesn't put on a huge show, whereas

39
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:45,040
Speaker 1: it is a stadium.

40
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 2: Got it appears as though it kind of physically takes

41
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 2: you over when you talk about getting tickets.

42
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, no it does.

43
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, it really a cult.

44
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 1: We already are.

45
00:01:58,320 --> 00:01:58,559
Speaker 5: Yeah.

46
00:01:58,680 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 7: Yeah.

47
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 3: The reason that I chose to use that clip is

48
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 3: it's not just in the safe space of this podcast

49
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 3: that Georgie goes full swifty. It is on national television

50
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,520
Speaker 3: with Hamish McDonald looking at her with one raised eyebrow

51
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 3: going you are slightly unhinged, but George, Today's topic was

52
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:19,080
Speaker 3: just built for you, because firstly, how was the concert?

53
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 3: Because half of Australia tried to get tickets and far

54
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,239
Speaker 3: less actually got a chance to go to the errors tour?

55
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:25,919
Speaker 2: What was it like in the US?

56
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 1: Everyone who has managed to get their hands on those

57
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:33,080
Speaker 1: hot little tickets for next year, well done and brace yourself.

58
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:37,359
Speaker 1: Start preparing now, Start doing your cardio, Start rationing water

59
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 1: because you have to be. You need to be dehydrated

60
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 1: to get through that concert, because you don't want to

61
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 1: miss a second. You've got to plan your toilet breaks.

62
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 1: It goes for three and a half hours. It was

63
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,959
Speaker 1: one of the highlights of my life. And I mean

64
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 1: that seriously. When she first appeared, I burst into tears

65
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 1: because I was so overwhelmed. I was like, I can't

66
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 1: believe that that's Taylor Swift again. And I have gone

67
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 1: to all of her other concerts as well, but it

68
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 1: had just been so long between them, and she's released

69
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,520
Speaker 1: like a million albums since the last time she toured,

70
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 1: so it was everything. There is this phenomenon on social

71
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:15,679
Speaker 1: media where swifties are like I think I've got amnesia.

72
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,920
Speaker 1: I'm too overwhelmed about the concert. Like I don't remember anything.

73
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:21,679
Speaker 1: I have that to a certain degree. Some of the

74
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 1: some parts of the concert are a little bit like

75
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 1: ify for me, because I think I was just too

76
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 1: overwhelmed and I wasn't really living in the moment. But

77
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 1: the bits that stand out are just burnt into my

78
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 1: memory forever, and it's just such a cherished memory for me.

79
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 1: It's amazing. It's amazing.

80
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 3: And if you're wondering, how on earth is this the

81
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 3: intro for our sports podcast, Dear Listen, we haven't just

82
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 3: let Georgie go rogue because this year, in addition to

83
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 3: becoming a billionaire, single handedly boosting the economy with her

84
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 3: tour that shut down Ticketmaster, having the highest grossing concert

85
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 3: film of all time that was just a couple of

86
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 3: weeks ago, and causing an earth quake at one of

87
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 3: her concerts, She's not a god.

88
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 2: She is a mere woman.

89
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 3: But t Swift has made the NFL Taylor's version, and

90
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 3: we are not exaggerating here. They changed their Twitter slash

91
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 3: x handle to say Taylor's version. One of the biggest

92
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:20,599
Speaker 3: sporting leagues in the world has been taken over by

93
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:22,719
Speaker 3: swift Mania, And we sat back and said, no, we

94
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 3: can't do it, too indulgent, to indulgent. Now it is everywhere,

95
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,839
Speaker 3: and we are unleashing our expert who's been studying for

96
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 3: three decades because George is ready. The result is the

97
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 3: NFL's infiltrating mainstream media and pop culture here in Australia

98
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 3: and around the world at a heightened frenzy usually only

99
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 3: reserved for the Super Bowl halftime show. Because Travis kelce

100
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:49,600
Speaker 3: who is a superstar of the NFL, decided just to

101
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:53,840
Speaker 3: throw some bait and somehow has caught Taylor Swift.

102
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 2: And we're not over this story.

103
00:04:55,880 --> 00:05:02,040
Speaker 3: So who is Travis kelcey the new boyfriend of Taylor Swift?

104
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 3: What impact is Tay having on the viewing audience of

105
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:05,160
Speaker 3: American football?

106
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 2: Do we love trailer? Yes, they already have a nickname.

107
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 3: Oh, we're gone deep dive And I'm so excited because

108
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 3: there's a glow coming from my dear friend and we

109
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 3: are ready. We're gonna tell you things about Travis kelce

110
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 3: and about Taylor Swift that you don't know, guaranteed because

111
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:27,360
Speaker 3: there are layers here and a dating show so weird anyway.

112
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 2: Headlines, ah, headline one, Hey, Razzo A little bit fortunate

113
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:41,280
Speaker 2: perhaps oh, here goes Sam Carr throw on gold car.

114
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 7: Blasts it into the roof of the.

115
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 1: Nat Sam Kerr has scored her fourth fourth hat trick

116
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 1: for the Matilda's on the team's way to an eight

117
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 1: nil route of the Philippines in game two of their

118
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 1: second round of a Limp qualifiers. Gell me this was fun.

119
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,599
Speaker 1: Fun for Ossie fans, probably not so fun for Philippines fans,

120
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 1: but even then, it was attacking footballs and they got

121
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 1: to see some great goals, and they got to see

122
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 1: Sam kers score three and Caitlin Ford score three and

123
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 1: Mary Fowler score our goal, and also Claire Wheeler score

124
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 1: her first goal for the Matilda's, So it was an

125
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 1: attacking route. It was super fun. The players were having

126
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 1: a great time and importantly it does put us to

127
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 1: the top of our group, which means, I mean, we're

128
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 1: gonna make it through to the third round of Olympic qualifiers,

129
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 1: but only two I believe only two teams from the

130
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 1: category of Asia are selected to go to the Olympics,

131
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 1: so it's very important that we do maintain our top

132
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 1: spot on the group so we can cement one of

133
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 1: those spots.

134
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 3: What was incredible about this for me is it was

135
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 3: in front of a sixty thousand sellout crowd a capacity

136
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:57,839
Speaker 3: OPTAs stadium, and that's just incredible. And particularly like Sam Kerr,

137
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:00,279
Speaker 3: she's West Australian. And one thing I can tell you

138
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 3: about Perthian's gee we claim our own. Most of us

139
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 3: have like at least tattooed in our brain something about

140
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,480
Speaker 3: Samka and something about dann Ricardo because we will claim

141
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 3: them forever. And the fact that she got to do

142
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 3: this at a stadium with tens of thousands and we

143
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 3: know and we've seen the journey of what the Matildas

144
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 3: used to play in front of as recently as twenty

145
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 3: nineteen and now this Olympic campaign marks their eleventh consecutive

146
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 3: sold out stadium in Australia. You watch that and go,

147
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 3: that would be really fun. Eight to ERL should be

148
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 3: a mercy rule. Anyway, no headline two in just.

149
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 5: When the late show was going on, like you stood

150
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 5: with your eyes like shut with their hands or is

151
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 5: it because you're feeling a little ill or do those

152
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 5: late kind of things always affect you? Well? I had

153
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 5: something like that light show similar happened in at per

154
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 5: Stadium during a big besh game and I just found

155
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 5: like it gave me shocking headaches and it takes me

156
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 5: a while from my eyes to readjust and I just

157
00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 5: think it's the dumbest idea for cricketers. When you've got

158
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 5: this theme you quickly and your eyes take so long

159
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 5: to adjust. And I think we just lost a wicket

160
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 5: and made the first aim. Lights when shot like nuts

161
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 5: and I was the other end and took me ages

162
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 5: to get my eyes to go again and felt like

163
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 5: I had a headache. So I just I just try

164
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 5: and cover up as much as I possibly can and

165
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 5: ignore it. But it's a horrible, horrible idea.

166
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 2: Glenn Maxwell.

167
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 3: That was in the press conference after he notched the

168
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 3: fastest ton in World Cup history. He hit one hundred

169
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 3: of just forty balls.

170
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 1: That's nuts. That's actually mathematically in my head it's not possible,

171
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:35,840
Speaker 1: but apparently it is.

172
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 3: But essentially that he was seen covering his eyes and

173
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:39,679
Speaker 3: you're like, mate, what's going on.

174
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:41,560
Speaker 2: He's like, I just get a headache from the lights.

175
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:42,679
Speaker 2: But the big show.

176
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 3: Put on a show and it's great because Australia, after

177
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 3: stumbling at the start, we're back.

178
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:49,080
Speaker 2: We're back.

179
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:50,599
Speaker 3: And this round robin stage I got to tell you

180
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,680
Speaker 3: it feels like it never ends. Nine games before we

181
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 3: get to It's honestly feels like what they've done with

182
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 3: the Big Bash.

183
00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:00,440
Speaker 1: It goes forever, it goes forever and ever ever. This

184
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 1: is nuts. This is longer than the Rugby World Cup,

185
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:04,559
Speaker 1: which went on for nine years. That's what it felt

186
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:06,199
Speaker 1: like like. This is unbelievable.

187
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 3: But what we do need to give you about the

188
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 3: results is that Australia beat the Netherlands by a whopping

189
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,079
Speaker 3: three hundred and nine runs. They were all bold out

190
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 3: for ninety It was just tragic. Then we beat New

191
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 3: Zealand by five runs. Incredible. We're getting there. We're getting there.

192
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:23,719
Speaker 3: We've got England next, ups to Afghanistan and Bangladesh before we.

193
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 2: Get out of the group stage. That never ends.

194
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:28,720
Speaker 3: But we need to touch on the women's game because

195
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 3: this is one of the more remarkable and just disaster

196
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 3: for Alisa Heally. She has two staffies, gorgeous dogs and

197
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 3: if you follow either Alisa Hilly or Mitch Duck you'll

198
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 3: see they love their puppies. The dogs decided to get

199
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:44,080
Speaker 3: into a rough and tumble and Alisa Hilly did what

200
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:46,199
Speaker 3: any good owner would do and just try to separate

201
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 3: the two. Well, one of her fingers got attacked in

202
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 3: this and she ended up in hospital.

203
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:54,680
Speaker 2: She is going to miss again.

204
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 3: We're talking about she's the Australian captain and we know

205
00:09:57,559 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 3: that Meg Lanning will come in and take the reins

206
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:01,319
Speaker 3: now that she's come back from her break, but she

207
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 3: was the Australian captain.

208
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 2: She is also a wicket keeper, very important.

209
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 3: Is going to miss the entire of the WBBL season

210
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:13,199
Speaker 3: and potentially is going to miss Australia taking on India

211
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:13,960
Speaker 3: in December.

212
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:17,680
Speaker 1: It's one of those freak accidents and it has massive

213
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 1: consequences for the Sixers in particular, but also just for

214
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 1: the fans because that she's the reason that you go

215
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:29,080
Speaker 1: to watch the WBBL. So this is so unfortunate. Also,

216
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 1: I think there needs to be an investigation into her staffy.

217
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 1: Potentially maybe is a higher from an English team somewhere

218
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 1: trying to take her down. That's what I'm thinking. What's

219
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 1: the next years Australia has coming up. I think that

220
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 1: they're a plant.

221
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 3: Well, the good thing is Alisa Hilly plays at the SCG.

222
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:49,720
Speaker 3: Do you know how also plays at the SCG Callum Mills,

223
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 3: so he was wrestling with a teammate. So at least

224
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 3: the dogs are an innocent party. When you're an adult

225
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:57,839
Speaker 3: man and you wrestle with a teammate and you hurt

226
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:00,119
Speaker 3: yourself and you might miss a season, well there's just different.

227
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 1: Different rules, different rules. Headline three short preparation time.

228
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:07,680
Speaker 8: I had to make a quick decision on what we do.

229
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 8: I had a look at the resources we had, the

230
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 8: players we had. I made a decision we've got to

231
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 8: go with youth. That's the best option for Australia going forward.

232
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,959
Speaker 8: I made that decision and the results of the World

233
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 8: Cup weren't how we happed, but I still think I've

234
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 8: made the right decision there.

235
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 1: Eddie Jones speaking a few weeks ago, backing himself, doubling

236
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:33,560
Speaker 1: down after the Wallabies were bundled out of the Rugby

237
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 1: World Cup in the group stages for the very first

238
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 1: time in their history. Now he's out of the job,

239
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 1: resigned no longer the head coach of Team Australia, which

240
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 1: I think is very very very unsurprising, Like, are we

241
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 1: shocked by this?

242
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:51,319
Speaker 3: Jelmy, no, no, But it's just been a car crash

243
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 3: of a ten months. Two wins from nine games, deciding

244
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:58,680
Speaker 3: to rebuild before a World Cup when you'd signed on

245
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 3: for four years rebuild after the World Cup, Eddie, it's

246
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 3: giving that he's got fuel, pulled it all over the house,

247
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 3: set fire to it and said I'd like to give

248
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 3: back the keys.

249
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 2: Good luck with that one.

250
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:13,320
Speaker 1: It was one positive news story out of rugby union

251
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 1: over the weekend because the conclusion of the world's longest tournament,

252
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 1: the Rugby World Cup, did happen. South Africa up against

253
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 1: the All Blacks and the spring Box became the first

254
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:26,320
Speaker 1: team in history to win four Rugby World Cups. They

255
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:30,320
Speaker 1: defeated the All Blacks by one point after the AB's

256
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 1: captain Sam Kine was red carded in the first half,

257
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 1: so they played with a man down for the majority

258
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:38,439
Speaker 1: of that game. They should have got absolutely nowhere near

259
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 1: the spring Box, but you know, they lost by one.

260
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 1: It was a strong effort, but a loss is a

261
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 1: loss and well done, Well done South Africa.

262
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 2: Headline four the most viewed sport in Australia.

263
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 6: The sign is correct and they should pick their gam up.

264
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:55,720
Speaker 4: Okay, because I can hear I can just hear my

265
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,199
Speaker 4: Channel seven bosses in my ear. They're kind of yelling

266
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 4: at the moment they're going yelling at me something about

267
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 4: TV ratings and they're saying something like three point five

268
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:06,959
Speaker 4: million for NRAL, three three point eight million for AFL,

269
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:10,199
Speaker 4: and then they're yelling really loudly that the Matilda's got

270
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 4: seven point one. So where are your figures coming from?

271
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 2: Pete?

272
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:17,080
Speaker 6: Now, what I said was in a season, So that's

273
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 6: the whole year, not just a few games like the

274
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 6: we It's a complete season. And tell your bosses that

275
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:26,959
Speaker 6: there's more stations than just Channel seven and they should

276
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:29,599
Speaker 6: come for rugby league. They should get the state of

277
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:33,199
Speaker 6: and then they will have the biggest sport in Australia

278
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:35,600
Speaker 6: rather than that. What do they call it FLA or

279
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:39,439
Speaker 6: AFL or whatever it's called. I just forgot its name there.

280
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 4: I could just tell you they're yelling even louder as

281
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 4: you speak. So I think we've ready go to a

282
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 4: commercial break. Congratulations on being at the White House.

283
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:53,080
Speaker 2: Not many other people did it. Well done FLA.

284
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 1: I think we rebrand the AFL. It should be called FLA.

285
00:13:56,640 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 1: Fellas open around. Peter Blandy's there as nail that jairman

286
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 1: up the Rugby League chairman. He has completely nailed it.

287
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 1: Rugby league is the biggest sport in Australia. Thank you

288
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:12,840
Speaker 1: very much. I think Australia's sport.

289
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:18,840
Speaker 3: It's a world sport, Australian football league.

290
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 1: Maybe he meant biggest in terms of physical size. That

291
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 1: could be it. That could be it. And rugby league.

292
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 1: We've got you there, We've got you there.

293
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 3: But you know what he is, Peter the Landis is

294
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 3: a marketing genius. So we need to give more context

295
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 3: of this. So this sign was up in Vegas because

296
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 3: there is going to be an exhibition.

297
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 2: Match of the NRL in America.

298
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, a couple including the Broncos.

299
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 2: And this is the way it's being marketed.

300
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 3: Firstly, the players will be like I nominators tribute for

301
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 3: this junket.

302
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 2: Yes, please, I would like to go to Vegas.

303
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 3: And it is It is cool because now with streaming

304
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 3: services and particularly when you see the sports that are

305
00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 3: popular in America, you can imagine why AFL NRL are so.

306
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 2: Interesting to them.

307
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 3: And it is a massive market that if they can

308
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 3: tap into, who knows how large the game will grow.

309
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:14,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, and so the slogan adorning all of the billboards

310
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 1: in Vegas getting ready for rugby league to play two

311
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 1: games there at the start of next season. Australia's biggest

312
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 1: sport unleashed in Vegas. I think it's genius, but I

313
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 1: would think that because I'm a Rugby league fan.

314
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 3: Do you know what is the biggest sport or the

315
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:35,880
Speaker 3: National Football League in America? Is American football? See Australian

316
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 3: rules football, American football? Do you see what I've done there?

317
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 3: And at the moment, American football is taking on a

318
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 3: tangent that we've never seen before. They are engaging a

319
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 3: new audience. And it's all happening because one little lady

320
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 3: with red lipstick and a billion dollars, Taylor Swift is

321
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 3: dating Travis Kelce and the world has gone into meltdown.

322
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 2: What does this mean?

323
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 3: Are we simplifying things too much that you cannot be

324
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 3: a Taylor Swift fan and also just love NFL for

325
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 3: the sake of NFL?

326
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 2: How did this happen?

327
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 3: Because it is going to be a movie, this love story,

328
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 3: it's coming up.

329
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 2: Oh, it's going to be a big deep dive.

330
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 5: Now.

331
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 1: As my learned colleague Hamish McDonald may have alluded to

332
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 1: earlier on in this episode, I can be defined or

333
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 1: described as a fan of a lot of things peak fangirl,

334
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 1: and I wear that title like a badge of honor

335
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 1: for me, absolutely no embarrassment. I am a fangirl. Where

336
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 1: some people have a specific niche that makes them that fangirl,

337
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 1: I have many. There are caverns in my mind palace

338
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 1: of you useless or useful information. You can be the

339
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:07,560
Speaker 1: judge that even I don't know how I know, but

340
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:12,359
Speaker 1: I know it. For example, I know almost every single

341
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:15,919
Speaker 1: piece of dialogue in the classic Naughty's teen flick She's

342
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:16,439
Speaker 1: the Man.

343
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:17,960
Speaker 2: I can tell you.

344
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 1: Where all the cast of the OC are at their

345
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:24,199
Speaker 1: lives right now, twenty years after that show aired. I

346
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:26,359
Speaker 1: can tell you who they dated. I can tell you

347
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 1: how long they dated. I can tell you who they're

348
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:32,200
Speaker 1: dating now. I can tell you their biggest successes professionally

349
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 1: and in life. Hello Seth Seth and Blair Waldorf.

350
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 2: Tick tick tick.

351
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:41,640
Speaker 1: I can also tell you that Darren Lockyer was born

352
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 1: on the twenty fourth of March nineteen seventy seven. How

353
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:47,359
Speaker 1: do I know that he hasn't played for the Brisbane

354
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 1: Broncos since twenty eleven, and yet it's in the mind palace.

355
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:59,119
Speaker 1: All of that, though, pales in comparison to my encyclopedic

356
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:04,400
Speaker 1: knowledge of t Swift, my journey with Taylor Swift can

357
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:07,920
Speaker 1: probably that could be the title of my autobiography. If

358
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 1: we're being honest, Georgie Tunney are swifty, and I would

359
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 1: be happy for that, because you know what swifty. Being

360
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 1: one is a full time job, but it's never work.

361
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 1: I arguably know the most about this woman than anyone else,

362
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:29,920
Speaker 1: and we have never met. So when she's happy, I'm interested.

363
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:35,159
Speaker 1: When she's sad, I'm interested. When she's indifferent, I am interested.

364
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 1: And when she has a new partner, I'm very interested.

365
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 1: So who the hell is Travis Kelsey because this is

366
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:52,360
Speaker 1: the partnership that I'm not sure about yet, but it's

367
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 1: taking the world by storm. Jell me help me out.

368
00:18:55,800 --> 00:19:00,199
Speaker 1: Who the heck ah is this reality TV star? I

369
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 1: guess he was a footballer, first footballer turned reality star

370
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 1: turned All American.

371
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:06,200
Speaker 2: Goodness, my name is Travis Kelcey.

372
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 5: Maybe I'm a professional football player and I'm.

373
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:16,119
Speaker 6: Getting the opportunity to date fifty fifty fifty beautiful women

374
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:21,400
Speaker 6: from this God loving country. Sign me up, Hello, ladies.

375
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:23,360
Speaker 2: I believe that there are some girls here that could

376
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 2: be the one I'm in this all the way in

377
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:30,720
Speaker 2: I say, we get to this thing. So that is

378
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:31,680
Speaker 2: Dear George.

379
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:36,359
Speaker 3: The introduction to a twenty sixteen reality TV show called

380
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 3: Catching Kelsey, of which our dear Travis Kelcey, who was

381
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:43,680
Speaker 3: of course a name already then because he was playing

382
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 3: in the NFL, dated fifty women from fifty different states.

383
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:52,959
Speaker 3: And you better believe that it's now going to come

384
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:55,359
Speaker 3: out of the woodwork everything that he's ever said in

385
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 3: that show. But this gives you an idea of the

386
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:01,359
Speaker 3: sort of car that this man is. And there is

387
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:05,119
Speaker 3: a trend at the moment on social media where Swifties

388
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:08,920
Speaker 3: are filming their NFL loving partners and just saying, isn't

389
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 3: it amazing that Taylor Swift put Travis Kelcey on the map?

390
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:15,679
Speaker 3: And these men are losing their damn mind, and rightfully so,

391
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:19,640
Speaker 3: because Travis Kelcey is one of the best tight ends

392
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:21,120
Speaker 3: the NFL has ever seen.

393
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:23,480
Speaker 1: Jelmy, I've got a question. My arm is raised.

394
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:24,359
Speaker 2: This will be good.

395
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 1: What is a tight end?

396
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:30,920
Speaker 3: One of the more googled questions the week that they

397
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:31,680
Speaker 3: started dating.

398
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:35,440
Speaker 2: Oh gosh, so.

399
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 3: Titan is basically the big dutes who can run and

400
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:38,560
Speaker 3: catch the ball.

401
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:39,560
Speaker 2: They can do everything.

402
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:41,479
Speaker 1: So all star athlete.

403
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's your all star all rounder. He's not your quarterback.

404
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:50,880
Speaker 3: He's not your glory big name player. But his combination

405
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 3: with Patrick Mahomes, who is one of the biggest, he's

406
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 3: the biggest quarterback in the league at the moment, but

407
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 3: he's sort of you can play the supporting role. He

408
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:00,040
Speaker 3: has his moments where he is the star, but a

409
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,879
Speaker 3: lot of it is about being everyone to everyone. Is

410
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 3: the role of the tight end, and he is a

411
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:06,639
Speaker 3: big unit. But let's give you a bit of a

412
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 3: context here. He was born and raised in Ohio. He's

413
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 3: thirty four years old because he was born in nineteen

414
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:13,359
Speaker 3: eighty nine.

415
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 1: Of course he was of bloody course.

416
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:17,240
Speaker 2: He was drafted to.

417
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:20,240
Speaker 3: The Chiefs in twenty thirteen in the third round. He

418
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:23,000
Speaker 3: was sixty third overall pick. And he's currently in his

419
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 3: eleventh season.

420
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:26,439
Speaker 1: So he's been playing American football for quite a while.

421
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:29,400
Speaker 2: We just need to establish here. He is a very

422
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:29,920
Speaker 2: big name.

423
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 3: He's not someone that Taylor Swift has plucked and put

424
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 3: on the map. He's been on a reality dating show,

425
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:37,399
Speaker 3: but he's very very well liked.

426
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:39,720
Speaker 2: He's also super commercial.

427
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:43,000
Speaker 3: He's on a lot of advertising, and most recently, and

428
00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:46,400
Speaker 3: I guess most probably contentiously, he was the face of Pfiser.

429
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:49,720
Speaker 2: He was advertising PISA during COVID.

430
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 1: Okay, which speaks on many levels in terms of one,

431
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:57,679
Speaker 1: his marketability, but I guess also his renown and his

432
00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 1: standing within America. See his face, you know him, You

433
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 1: have a connection to him so much so that the

434
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:09,920
Speaker 1: government or PFIZA, yes, want him to lead a public

435
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 1: health message.

436
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 3: And part of that Kelsey brand is also his brother

437
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:17,919
Speaker 3: Jason Kelce, who's a star. He's a center and he

438
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 3: plays for the Philadelphia Eagles.

439
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:22,240
Speaker 2: So again different position, but very similar blokes.

440
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 3: And last year they brought out and started doing a

441
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 3: podcast together called New Heights and just it's very all American,

442
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:32,679
Speaker 3: it's very jocular. It's two blokes having a laugh. But

443
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:35,880
Speaker 3: they actually played off against each other in last year's

444
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:38,199
Speaker 3: Super Bowl. So imagine getting to a Super Bowl and

445
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:39,520
Speaker 3: you've got two brothers.

446
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:40,440
Speaker 2: Huge.

447
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:43,119
Speaker 3: So it was our mate Travis that came out on

448
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 3: top and won that Super Bowl. His brothers won one

449
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:49,160
Speaker 3: Super Bowl. Travis Kelce is a two time Super Bowl winner.

450
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:52,440
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, so successful, good, good successful.

451
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:55,919
Speaker 3: So while he may be new to the global vernacular

452
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 3: of non sporting fans, people that like NFL and people

453
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 3: that follow NFL and not scratching their heads about who

454
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:06,720
Speaker 3: Travis Kelsey is. He's been established over a very long

455
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:09,719
Speaker 3: period of time. He is an eight time Pro Bowler.

456
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:11,920
Speaker 3: Did I have to google what this means? I sure

457
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:12,439
Speaker 3: did so.

458
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 2: The Pro Hell Prora. The Pro Bowl is.

459
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:17,280
Speaker 3: An exhibition game that happens the week before the Super Bowl,

460
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:20,200
Speaker 3: where you're elected by it's a bit of the media,

461
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:22,720
Speaker 3: but also the fans sort of voting who they would

462
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:24,800
Speaker 3: like to see in this massive exhibition game.

463
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:25,720
Speaker 2: It's a big deal.

464
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:27,879
Speaker 3: But if you are playing in the Super Bowl, you

465
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,440
Speaker 3: obviously don't play in an exhibition game at week out.

466
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:32,480
Speaker 2: So he's been nominated for that eight times.

467
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:36,320
Speaker 3: He is an All Pro player four times, which think

468
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:37,880
Speaker 3: about the All Australian team.

469
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 1: Which always confuses me though, because they never play a game.

470
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:42,960
Speaker 3: No, So that's what this is, So this is arguably

471
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:43,920
Speaker 3: more prestigious.

472
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 2: Four times.

473
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:49,439
Speaker 3: He has been voted by media and parties of the

474
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 3: NFL that not what they're talking about, as the best

475
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 3: tight end in the league in twenty sixteen, in twenty eighteen,

476
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:58,600
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty and in twenty twenty two, which is

477
00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:01,399
Speaker 3: a Super Bowl year. And the thing when you mentioned

478
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 3: Travis Kelce, you have to mention Patrick Mahomes. He's just

479
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 3: one of the all time stars in terms of a quarterback,

480
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:12,840
Speaker 3: and he's only getting better. He's on a mega deal

481
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 3: two hundred and ten point six million US for four years, bloody,

482
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:21,199
Speaker 3: and that's before endorsements. And also you would see him

483
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 3: at the moment on Netflix. He's got a bit of it.

484
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,600
Speaker 3: I think the show is called Quarterback, but he's currently

485
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:27,919
Speaker 3: he and his partner Brittany have got a feature. So

486
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:31,320
Speaker 3: Patrick Mahomes a very, very big deal. Can you imagine

487
00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:36,680
Speaker 3: when you are Patrick Mahomes at Arrowfield and you are

488
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:40,359
Speaker 3: the second biggest name there, and you know what, she

489
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:42,919
Speaker 3: might invite her friends t Swift, So all of a sudden,

490
00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:46,679
Speaker 3: Ryan Reynolds is there, Blake Lively's there, Oh, what do

491
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:49,720
Speaker 3: you know, Wolverine decided to come to a game. It

492
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 3: has just been this intersection of pop culture and football

493
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 3: that has seen Travis Kelce blow up globally because he's

494
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 3: somehow weaseled his way in to dating Taylor Swift and

495
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:07,200
Speaker 3: it's one of the more remarkable dating stories that you'll

496
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:11,200
Speaker 3: ever hear how does one get access to Taylor Swift Georgie.

497
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 1: Now that we know who he is? Very important context,

498
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:17,000
Speaker 1: and I do think that it is pertinent because he

499
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:19,800
Speaker 1: essentially is at the top of his game, right, he

500
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 1: is at the top of the field. He is in

501
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 1: this this stratosphere when it comes to his job. So

502
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:28,960
Speaker 1: you can only assume that that Taylor likes to be

503
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 1: dating successful people. So step one, he had to be

504
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:37,240
Speaker 1: incredible in like the you know, first percentile of all

505
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:39,920
Speaker 1: things for her to even look at him. I would say,

506
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 1: I think that's fair. Then what I think has helped

507
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:46,840
Speaker 1: the situation, which is the fact that I did not

508
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:50,640
Speaker 1: learn for ages so many many many weeks into their

509
00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 1: confirmed relationship, was that there's a player on Travis Kelce's

510
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:58,879
Speaker 1: team Kansas City whose brother is one of Taylor Swift's

511
00:25:58,920 --> 00:25:59,639
Speaker 1: backup dances.

512
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 2: Oh okay, there it.

513
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 1: Is, So in my mind, there could be a lovely

514
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 1: little intro there, a meet cute, which you know, does

515
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:07,600
Speaker 1: all kinds of things to me. I love that, I

516
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:08,359
Speaker 1: love a meet cute.

517
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:12,639
Speaker 2: That speculation, what do we know about his approach go on?

518
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:17,159
Speaker 1: We know that he went on his podcast and essentially

519
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:19,800
Speaker 1: asked her out, or explained that all he had wanted

520
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 1: to do. His dream was to go to her concert

521
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 1: and give her a friendship bracelet that he had handmade

522
00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 1: with his phone number on it.

523
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:31,639
Speaker 6: And I received a bunch of them being there, but

524
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:33,560
Speaker 6: I wanted to give Taylor swift to one with my

525
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 6: number on it, nor.

526
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:37,760
Speaker 1: Your numbers in eighty seven or your phone number.

527
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 4: You know it's one.

528
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:42,920
Speaker 6: She doesn't meet anybody, or at least she didn't want

529
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 6: to meet me, so I took a person off.

530
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:46,080
Speaker 3: She probably just hasn't gotten over the super Bowl yet.

531
00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:46,959
Speaker 2: She's a big Eagles fan.

532
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:48,680
Speaker 3: Maybe she just meets something up and just didn't want

533
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 3: to talk to you.

534
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:51,480
Speaker 1: She is an Eagles fan. I love that they know

535
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:51,960
Speaker 1: that do.

536
00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:53,760
Speaker 3: What the best thing is is that it was at

537
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:58,240
Speaker 3: Arrowhead Stadium, where he's the rock star, and I think

538
00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:01,280
Speaker 3: he genuinely would have rocked up, being like there's no Arrowhead,

539
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 3: I can't go. I'll like get a cheeky little heykay,

540
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:07,000
Speaker 3: how you going? And she's like, I'm about to sing

541
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:11,960
Speaker 3: forty four songs. Absolutely not before or after, but anyway,

542
00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:15,639
Speaker 3: So he made this very public joke essentially saying I

543
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 3: had this bracelet that's him talking to his brother.

544
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:19,600
Speaker 2: I wanted to give her my number.

545
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:23,280
Speaker 3: Then that was on the twenty sixth of July, and

546
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:28,440
Speaker 3: the rumors start speculating. September twenty four she attends the

547
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:31,440
Speaker 3: Chiefs game and the world actually has a meltdown.

548
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:32,720
Speaker 2: Let's have a listen, you know.

549
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:34,959
Speaker 6: I told her, I've seen you rock to Stage and Arrowhead,

550
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 6: you might have to come see me rocket stage in

551
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 6: arrow and see which one's a little more list There's.

552
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:40,679
Speaker 7: Some things with Traveck kind of just says it and

553
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:43,120
Speaker 7: you're like, you don't know if it's true or not. Yeah,

554
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:44,679
Speaker 7: I think she's coming to the game today, and then

555
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 7: moved about his business.

556
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:45,879
Speaker 1: Well.

557
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 7: Just days after teasing the idea of Taylor Swift coming

558
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:50,880
Speaker 7: to a Chiefs game, the megastar herself was in attendance

559
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:52,840
Speaker 7: for the Chiefs beatdown of the Bear, sitting right next

560
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:54,760
Speaker 7: to Mama Kelsey and loving every minute of it.

561
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:57,760
Speaker 1: Oh, it's also such a swifty trope that Taylor Swift

562
00:27:57,760 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 1: goes to meet the mom super early. So when I

563
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:02,359
Speaker 1: knew that that had happened too, I was concerned again

564
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:04,520
Speaker 1: because I was like, oh, hold on a second, this

565
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:07,439
Speaker 1: is looking far more legitimate than I had given any

566
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 1: kind of credence to this beforehand, And when she rocked up,

567
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:13,200
Speaker 1: I was like, it's not a thing. It's not a thing.

568
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 1: Then she freaking showed up at Arrowhead and I was like,

569
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:16,480
Speaker 1: oh no.

570
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:18,600
Speaker 3: And that other voice in that clip was Patrick Mahomes

571
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 3: essentially being like sometimes Travis Kelsey says things and you

572
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:23,639
Speaker 3: just go, oh, like, you don't buy into it. And

573
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:25,200
Speaker 3: then all of a sudden she was at a game.

574
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:28,600
Speaker 3: But the red Again, this is all very pop culture.

575
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:31,520
Speaker 3: We've gone so far. We've talked about his credentials. We've

576
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:34,399
Speaker 3: talked about we don't need to talk about Taylor Swift's

577
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 3: credentials because you already know them. So when the Taylor

578
00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:43,680
Speaker 3: economics hit the NFL and when Taylor Swift fans go,

579
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:46,520
Speaker 3: we're going to care about this bloke. We're buying in

580
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 3: because we're buying in because she's next to his mum.

581
00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:53,960
Speaker 3: She's banging on the glass saying let effing go during

582
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:57,160
Speaker 3: a game, she's got a beer in her hand, she's

583
00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 3: doing a handshake with Patrick Mahomes's Britney.

584
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 2: Do you know why? I know that? It was on

585
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 2: seven News.

586
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:06,960
Speaker 3: With the lead news story, But what is Also, whirlwind

587
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:09,959
Speaker 3: is the numbers and the effect that Taylor Swift is

588
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:11,560
Speaker 3: having on the NFL.

589
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:14,240
Speaker 1: Also, I would say on his personal performance too, because

590
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:16,040
Speaker 1: he can say it's not affecting my performance. I can

591
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 1: compartmentalize all of this. He has played out of his

592
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 1: skin every single game that she has attended, so has

593
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 1: his team. They are on this winning streak right now.

594
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 1: And I know that people will say that's down to

595
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:31,560
Speaker 1: you know, years and years of coaching and development and

596
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:33,760
Speaker 1: skill training and blah blah blah.

597
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:35,920
Speaker 3: It's because of Taylor Swift and the coach, Andy Reid

598
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 3: has come out and basically said she can hang around

599
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:43,000
Speaker 3: because he's the yards differential yards gained between when she's

600
00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:45,640
Speaker 3: not there and when he is there. Basically, he's a

601
00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:48,720
Speaker 3: big old peacock trying to show off and she can stay.

602
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:52,240
Speaker 2: Is a response. But oh, breaking news, breaking news.

603
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 1: Breaking news, breaking news producer James, what is it?

604
00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 7: The Broncos have just defeated the Kansas City Chiefs twenty

605
00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:03,040
Speaker 7: four to nine, and the report is in Taylor is not.

606
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:05,760
Speaker 1: There, is not the go there you go.

607
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:09,040
Speaker 3: Big Red gonna be furious, Yes, Big Red gonna Andy

608
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:11,800
Speaker 3: Reid's gonna call Tay and say, babe, cancel the concert.

609
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,680
Speaker 7: In the four games that Taylor Swith has been in attendance,

610
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:18,280
Speaker 7: Kelsey is averaging one hundred and eight receiving yards per game.

611
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:21,760
Speaker 7: The games she hasn't been there is averaged just forty

612
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:23,800
Speaker 7: six point five yards a game.

613
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:27,000
Speaker 1: And the case is rested. Thank you, your honor.

614
00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:31,000
Speaker 3: This is the Swifty effect the viewership. So let's she

615
00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:34,320
Speaker 3: rocked up to the game against the Bears. Then she

616
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 3: was the first one.

617
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:36,640
Speaker 2: That was the first one. Then she went to Chiefs

618
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:38,000
Speaker 2: versus the Jets.

619
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:39,360
Speaker 1: Which was gigantic.

620
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:42,840
Speaker 3: The viewership of that game was twenty seven million, making

621
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:45,200
Speaker 3: it the most watched Sunday TV show since the last

622
00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:48,040
Speaker 3: Super Bowl according to NBC Sports.

623
00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 1: Which is nuts because to win a Sunday slot on

624
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:53,240
Speaker 1: the weekend, like Sunday Football is their biggest game, Like

625
00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:56,680
Speaker 1: it's gigantic, that's the game of the round.

626
00:30:56,880 --> 00:31:00,840
Speaker 3: She's then attended the Broncos, the LA Chargers. All of

627
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:05,440
Speaker 3: this has led to swift Mania. There is analytics in

628
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:08,200
Speaker 3: the game where they're like, hello, Swifty fans, let us

629
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 3: explain NFL for you. There are downs and they're still

630
00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 3: trying to explain the league, and honestly, I'm trying to

631
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:15,160
Speaker 3: get my head around it because there is some really

632
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:20,400
Speaker 3: convoluted rules. Oh yeah, yeah, but viewership amongst teen girls

633
00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:24,120
Speaker 3: spiked by fifty three percent. They doubled the amount of

634
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:28,400
Speaker 3: teenage girls watching NFL. That's according to Sunday Night Football,

635
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:31,760
Speaker 3: and in NBC, the audience among women age eighteen to

636
00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:34,320
Speaker 3: twenty four increased by twenty four percent, while viewership of

637
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:38,280
Speaker 3: women over the age of thirty five increased thirty four percent.

638
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:42,000
Speaker 1: It also meant that there was a collective growth of

639
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:47,320
Speaker 1: an approximate viewership of more than two million female viewers

640
00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 1: who were all just tuning in to see if Taylor

641
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:53,920
Speaker 1: Swift is at a football game and maybe enjoy the

642
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:56,200
Speaker 1: football as well. I don't want to make it mutually exclusive.

643
00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 1: There could totally be NFL fans, Kansas City fans who's

644
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:02,240
Speaker 1: dreams have all come true because they're also Swifties, and

645
00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:05,040
Speaker 1: they're like, this is ultimate, this is peak everything.

646
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:09,800
Speaker 3: Imagine Kelsey's number eighty seven Gursey, of which Taylor Swift

647
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 3: was seen supporting a friendship bracelet with the number eighty

648
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:16,320
Speaker 3: seven on it. It was reported a long long time

649
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:18,680
Speaker 3: ago that there was a four hundred percent spike in sales.

650
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 2: I'm going to say that that's massive unders.

651
00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:23,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I reckon, it's I reckon. It's definitely more than that.

652
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:27,000
Speaker 1: He also added, and it would be more than this now,

653
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:29,280
Speaker 1: I think as well. But more than three hundred and

654
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:32,480
Speaker 1: eighty thousand followers to his Instagram account. And this is

655
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:36,800
Speaker 1: already remember a superstar of America, like he is well

656
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:39,600
Speaker 1: known in America, but now he is globally known, and

657
00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:43,080
Speaker 1: the Instagram followers have have shown that.

658
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:47,360
Speaker 3: And the swifties are descending on the games hoping to

659
00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:51,360
Speaker 3: catch a glimpse of the otherwise very private superstars. So

660
00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:55,600
Speaker 3: stub Hub have reported a threefold increase in people trying

661
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 3: to get tickets to Chiefs games.

662
00:32:57,880 --> 00:33:00,160
Speaker 1: I mean, the Chiefs have sold more tickets. They went

663
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:03,040
Speaker 1: on to sell more tickets in a single day than

664
00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:05,960
Speaker 1: they had since the start of the twenty twenty three season.

665
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:07,400
Speaker 1: After she attended that Jets game.

666
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:09,440
Speaker 2: And these are the reigning Super Bowl champions.

667
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, yes they're They're not some low flying team that

668
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:14,920
Speaker 3: needs support at the moment.

669
00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:16,160
Speaker 2: They are flying.

670
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:20,040
Speaker 3: But I also think it's interesting that there is just

671
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:24,360
Speaker 3: such an infatuation with who she dates. And we discussed this,

672
00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:26,160
Speaker 3: of course because as soon as I saw this, I

673
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:28,320
Speaker 3: was like, Oh, George's gonna hate it. You're going to

674
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:30,840
Speaker 3: like all of this about is that you're gonna hate it.

675
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 3: And the thing that you said to me was, he

676
00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:37,360
Speaker 3: is the first person who's dating Taylor Swift who seems

677
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:40,440
Speaker 3: to be aware that he's dating Taylor Swift.

678
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:43,280
Speaker 2: That's right, as in, he's the first.

679
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:45,920
Speaker 3: One that's like, oh on the damn lottery, like look

680
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:49,120
Speaker 3: at me, like I'm just living and it's I just

681
00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:49,480
Speaker 3: want to.

682
00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:52,680
Speaker 2: See her happy after a lot of stuff.

683
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:55,120
Speaker 3: Or you listen to some of her songs and the

684
00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:58,760
Speaker 3: reason why she is so popular is she doesn't just

685
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:03,760
Speaker 3: sing about the highs and the good things. There's so

686
00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:05,520
Speaker 3: much in there that's relatable.

687
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:08,080
Speaker 2: And I remember, the best songs are the biggest cuts,

688
00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:08,959
Speaker 2: the deepest cuts.

689
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:12,719
Speaker 3: They're the best ones, seriously, And there's something about when

690
00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:15,799
Speaker 3: we were younger. I don't believe that Mandy Moore wasn't

691
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:18,800
Speaker 3: popular in high school. I also don't believe that Britney

692
00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:21,520
Speaker 3: Spears had a hard time dating. But there's something about

693
00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:24,960
Speaker 3: Taylor where when she does dress up as the nerd,

694
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:25,960
Speaker 3: you buy it.

695
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:27,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's her, that's her.

696
00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:28,600
Speaker 2: She's in it.

697
00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:30,080
Speaker 1: I think as she really does like him, and she's

698
00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:33,360
Speaker 1: having a whole lot of fun as her unofficial best friend.

699
00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:39,480
Speaker 1: I don't love the relationship because I just he's so

700
00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:44,279
Speaker 1: he's so American, which I can both I'm a contradiction.

701
00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:46,480
Speaker 1: I can be like, it's wonderful that he's treating her

702
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:48,719
Speaker 1: like that. She's Taylor Swift and she's the be all

703
00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:51,200
Speaker 1: and end all, and he seems confident enough in himself

704
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:53,480
Speaker 1: to be able to take all of the publicity and

705
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:56,680
Speaker 1: everything that comes along with that. But it's too American

706
00:34:56,920 --> 00:34:57,160
Speaker 1: for me.

707
00:34:57,719 --> 00:34:59,560
Speaker 2: See for mine, it's the fairy tale.

708
00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:03,560
Speaker 3: You couldn't find the more quintessential, Like he's not a quarterback,

709
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:09,200
Speaker 3: but it's I don't know, there's something so wholesome about her,

710
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:12,640
Speaker 3: like covering her mouth because she's whispering something to his mum.

711
00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:15,760
Speaker 3: And I know part of that might all be a show.

712
00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:19,520
Speaker 3: But what we are seeing is NFL, which is such

713
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:25,480
Speaker 3: an intricate sport globally becoming deciding to dumb itself down

714
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:29,360
Speaker 3: in some levels to try to welcome people into the sport.

715
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:32,760
Speaker 3: And we find that when people are extreme fans, they

716
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:33,480
Speaker 3: keep the sport.

717
00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:34,719
Speaker 1: Oh they do they do.

718
00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:37,040
Speaker 3: You either get it or you don't, and you get

719
00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:38,680
Speaker 3: that a lot with Premier League, like you either get

720
00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:39,200
Speaker 3: it or you don't.

721
00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:42,120
Speaker 2: And if you're not, and you weaponize that knowledge exactly.

722
00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:45,200
Speaker 3: And I just find that with the way that Taylor

723
00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:51,040
Speaker 3: Swift has created this vacuum, there are explainers on tiktoks

724
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:55,239
Speaker 3: that are like, Swifties, welcome, Here's what you need to know. Yes,

725
00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:57,680
Speaker 3: here's what you need to understand about the game.

726
00:35:57,880 --> 00:35:59,799
Speaker 1: So overall, then, do you think it's a good thing?

727
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:01,720
Speaker 1: Do you think that this is this is a positive

728
00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:02,520
Speaker 1: for the NFL.

729
00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:07,440
Speaker 2: An increased viewership of fifty percent by teenage girls is

730
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:11,640
Speaker 2: something that marketing here in Australia or any sport around

731
00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:16,680
Speaker 2: the world can only dream of. Yeah, engaging young women

732
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:20,120
Speaker 2: in sport is the gap because then they're going to

733
00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:22,400
Speaker 2: follow it their whole lives. And if they feel welcome

734
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:25,200
Speaker 2: at the table or they feel like they can go

735
00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:28,040
Speaker 2: to a game, we're a guernsey and cheer for it,

736
00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:31,839
Speaker 2: you're seeing yourself, yes, And I think that's the really cool.

737
00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:34,359
Speaker 2: Like the thing about Taylor Swift is the reason why

738
00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:37,440
Speaker 2: people love her music is they identify with her. Yes,

739
00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:39,719
Speaker 2: So if she's all of a sudden a football fan

740
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:42,040
Speaker 2: I can be a football fan.

741
00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:44,960
Speaker 1: I do want the media and the networks to take

742
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:48,120
Speaker 1: it down a peg. Though I can understand why they

743
00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:49,920
Speaker 1: want to focus and have a Taylor cam and all

744
00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:51,560
Speaker 1: of that. It's so fun, I get.

745
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:54,360
Speaker 2: It, But some football fans are our rape, yes.

746
00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:55,600
Speaker 1: But they need to just come it down now like

747
00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:57,360
Speaker 1: we've had that now. That was the Jets game, and

748
00:36:57,400 --> 00:37:01,560
Speaker 1: I mean Taylor brought Blake Lively, Ryan Red, It's Hugh Jackman, like,

749
00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:04,759
Speaker 1: you know, she's bringing her A list friends along as well,

750
00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:07,400
Speaker 1: so of course you want to watch that, but just

751
00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:10,960
Speaker 1: in future rounds if she's there, which you know Kansas

752
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:12,440
Speaker 1: City want her to be there because they can't win

753
00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:16,360
Speaker 1: without her. I just don't want it to become so

754
00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:21,400
Speaker 1: much of a Taylor Taylor Taylor Taylor effect, because you know,

755
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:22,640
Speaker 1: our girl's got enough attention.

756
00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:26,600
Speaker 3: Is showing one woman twenty times excessive? And this is

757
00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:28,759
Speaker 3: not the first time that we've seen, like I think

758
00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:34,480
Speaker 3: it's important partners of footballers, particularly in NFL or big

759
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:36,120
Speaker 3: like we just Posh and.

760
00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:38,720
Speaker 2: Becks, Oh yeah, Gizelle and Tom Brady.

761
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:41,200
Speaker 3: Yes, this is not the first time that if a

762
00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:45,120
Speaker 3: partner shows up to support their footballing spouse, there is

763
00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:45,880
Speaker 3: a lot of attention.

764
00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:49,880
Speaker 2: Gizelle opened an Olympics I know, and at.

765
00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:52,359
Speaker 1: The time was worth double what Tom Brady was worth.

766
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:54,239
Speaker 1: So yes, yes, this is not.

767
00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:57,680
Speaker 3: The first time there's perhaps been a superstar power like this,

768
00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:00,120
Speaker 3: but I would argue that it's the first time and

769
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:02,760
Speaker 3: it is the first time we've seen such a shift

770
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:03,560
Speaker 3: in the metrics.

771
00:38:03,719 --> 00:38:06,200
Speaker 2: Yes, and that is that is the Taylor economy.

772
00:38:06,239 --> 00:38:08,680
Speaker 1: That's the Taylor economy. I love it for her, I

773
00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:10,719
Speaker 1: love it for the NFL. I hate it for me.

774
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:23,960
Speaker 1: Tell me time for another fun fact?

775
00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:25,560
Speaker 2: Wooo?

776
00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:28,840
Speaker 1: Also, wow your enthusiasm for the fun fact segment?

777
00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:34,839
Speaker 2: What do you mean I love a fun fact? Well,

778
00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:36,520
Speaker 2: that was an authentic woho.

779
00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:38,880
Speaker 1: Okay, authentic woo. Who I'm going to raise it because

780
00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:39,360
Speaker 1: I've got.

781
00:38:39,239 --> 00:38:42,480
Speaker 3: Actually, you know me, I'm not a woo girl. That's

782
00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:43,399
Speaker 3: as much as you get.

783
00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:47,480
Speaker 1: I have got one and a half fun facts for

784
00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:51,440
Speaker 1: you today. I'm starting with the whoo. I'm starting with

785
00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:55,040
Speaker 1: the point five of a fun fact, which is Kansas

786
00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:58,680
Speaker 1: City Chiefs played a stadium called Arrowhead. When Travis Kelce

787
00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:01,200
Speaker 1: runs onto the field at our Head, he does this

788
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:03,439
Speaker 1: thing where he pulls his arm back like and makes

789
00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:06,799
Speaker 1: emotion like he's shooting an arrow. Taylor Swift has a

790
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:10,600
Speaker 1: song called The Archer. Has she forecast this? Has it

791
00:39:10,719 --> 00:39:14,360
Speaker 1: always been in the stars? Probably not, but that's the

792
00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:17,279
Speaker 1: way Swifty's mind works. Anyway. That was the point five of.

793
00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:22,000
Speaker 2: A fun Factor. Get off TikTok, George, that's mine. I

794
00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:22,560
Speaker 2: don't think I've.

795
00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:26,040
Speaker 1: Seen that anywhere. TikTok don't come for me. Actual fun fact, though,

796
00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:30,239
Speaker 1: is that when we say that American football is kind

797
00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:34,480
Speaker 1: of a big deal in the United States of America,

798
00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:40,320
Speaker 1: we mean it because it is almost impossible to get

799
00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:44,480
Speaker 1: season tickets for certain clubs. So you're born into a family.

800
00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:47,520
Speaker 1: That means necessarily you are born into a football club

801
00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:49,959
Speaker 1: a lot of the times, and you go straight onto

802
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:52,160
Speaker 1: the waitlist for that club so you can try and

803
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:55,120
Speaker 1: get to the games to support your team. The Green

804
00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:59,600
Speaker 1: Bay Packers have the longest waitlist for season tickets in

805
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:04,399
Speaker 1: the NA. Fans could live to one hundred and never

806
00:40:05,239 --> 00:40:08,879
Speaker 1: receive them, never get a season ticket. That is how

807
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:09,799
Speaker 1: long the wait list is.

808
00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:15,040
Speaker 3: So from burse you're on the list, you're in the line,

809
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:18,319
Speaker 3: and others don't fall off the perchin off, but you.

810
00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:21,240
Speaker 2: Don't get the opportunity that's right. In a hundred years,

811
00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:22,440
Speaker 2: one hundred years.

812
00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:25,640
Speaker 1: There's such a big deal that obviously when you get

813
00:40:25,680 --> 00:40:28,200
Speaker 1: a season ticket, you have to do everything in your

814
00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:32,560
Speaker 1: power to hold onto it. One Green Bay Packers fan

815
00:40:33,080 --> 00:40:37,640
Speaker 1: went so far as to sell his own blood to

816
00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:38,840
Speaker 1: pay for season tickets.

817
00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:44,719
Speaker 3: Wait, so I've heard the phrase I'd sell a kidney.

818
00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:49,080
Speaker 1: He has, so he said, take my other life force

819
00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:49,479
Speaker 1: as well.

820
00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:53,320
Speaker 3: He already has the golden ticket in order to retain

821
00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:54,120
Speaker 3: the ticket.

822
00:40:54,120 --> 00:40:58,320
Speaker 2: The ticket and take for it. Yep, he sold plasma.

823
00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:03,160
Speaker 1: He sold his blood, pints and pints of blood. A

824
00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:08,160
Speaker 1: Wisconsin man, Jim Becker, started selling his blood because him

825
00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:11,000
Speaker 1: and his wife have eleven kids, and he refused to

826
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:13,080
Speaker 1: take any money away from the kids. So he's like,

827
00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:15,200
Speaker 1: I need to outsource this. I need to think of

828
00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:18,200
Speaker 1: a second income that is going to fund my season tickets.

829
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:23,239
Speaker 1: Here have my blood. And why it was actually so

830
00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:26,520
Speaker 1: successful to Jim himself for his health one got to

831
00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:29,040
Speaker 1: keep his tickets, got to see his beloved team. Two

832
00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:32,000
Speaker 1: turns out he had a rare blood disease that he

833
00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:35,880
Speaker 1: did not know, which is like shot you blood away

834
00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:39,640
Speaker 1: because he had too much iron in his blood. If

835
00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:42,279
Speaker 1: he wasn't donating pint after pint after pint, it would

836
00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:43,240
Speaker 1: have built up.

837
00:41:43,239 --> 00:41:44,080
Speaker 2: And he could have died.

838
00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:47,840
Speaker 3: So basically the message is for anyone who's on the

839
00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:52,880
Speaker 3: MCC wait list, suck it up and there is worse

840
00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:55,160
Speaker 3: scenarios because I feel like that's I was trying to

841
00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:58,200
Speaker 3: think of the Australian equivalent. And if you are in

842
00:41:58,239 --> 00:42:02,400
Speaker 3: Melbourne or you're Victorian having an MCC membership for the

843
00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:06,360
Speaker 3: mcg and or the amount of people that you've heard

844
00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:08,799
Speaker 3: that put their kids on the wait list, it's like,

845
00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:12,360
Speaker 3: get them into Kindie and get them on the MCC list.

846
00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:16,120
Speaker 3: And will we ever see a time when I don't know,

847
00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:19,440
Speaker 3: like there's just such a small amount of memberships for MCC,

848
00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:22,280
Speaker 3: but there's a massive stadiums in the NFL.

849
00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:25,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, yeah, And that's the demand of the tickets.

850
00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:28,000
Speaker 1: That's how high the demand is.

851
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:28,720
Speaker 2: Isn't that nuts?

852
00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:31,640
Speaker 1: I mean it sounds like, you know, I was gonna say,

853
00:42:31,680 --> 00:42:34,480
Speaker 1: isn't that nuts? How could we possibly relate every single

854
00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:37,080
Speaker 1: Australian that spends seven hours trying to get a ticket

855
00:42:37,120 --> 00:42:38,360
Speaker 1: to Taylor Swifts Era's concert.

856
00:42:38,520 --> 00:42:40,759
Speaker 2: Well Woven Back, You're always gonna do it.

857
00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:41,000
Speaker 1: Thank you?

858
00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:41,359
Speaker 2: So much.

859
00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:42,320
Speaker 1: I was proud of myself.

860
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:42,600
Speaker 6: Thank you.

861
00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:46,600
Speaker 3: Anyway, Are you an NFL fan that is baffled by

862
00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:49,239
Speaker 3: the fact that Taylor Swift has brought Travis Kelce into

863
00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:52,040
Speaker 3: limelight when he was already a star, or are you

864
00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:54,319
Speaker 3: a Taylor Swift fan that's going, who the hell is

865
00:42:54,320 --> 00:42:58,440
Speaker 3: this bloke? I'm really interested as to who this.

866
00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:00,480
Speaker 2: Is getting in the Australian.

867
00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:04,000

Speaker 2: Me who's agnostic until next week?

870

871

Speaker 8: M hm.
