Speaker 0 (11m 45s): It's just, I

Speaker 1 (11m 46s): Guess shits and giggles have a look. Let's, let's put that one in.

Speaker 0 (11m 49s): Yeah. Yeah. So I mean, because often pugs will have a look at a card and straightaway you'll go. No, look, the edges are a little bit floored here and there. The best you can probably hope for is maybe an eight. Well, someone might pull out another card and

Speaker 1 (12m 1s): So what's the best way for them to bring them pugs on the night? Just in like a A one touch. Always

Speaker 6 (12m 7s): On top loader. Yeah. Top loader. Yeah. Top loader. Yeah. Well just Penny in any protection. That's decent.

Speaker 6 (12m 25s): Everyone looks up

Speaker 0 (12m 25s): To him as a, Everyone does. Yeah. Where's Thet? Yeah, that's the whole one. Bit late. But I look up to him more as a person now. Some of the stories that he said. Yeah, it's pretty amazing. Some of the battles he's been through himself. A

Speaker 1 (12m 38s): Mental night

Speaker 0 (12m 38s): Point of view. Yeah. So it was definitely an awesome night. Yeah, sure. And a lot has. I thought that the venue was great. Did you? Yeah, I loved it. Hated it. You hated it.

Speaker 6 (12m 47s): I just love the fact we're driving there and we're like, we're in the middle of nowhere even though that's where my dad used to live in Winham. But you still like, this is No.

Speaker 1 (12m 53s): Did you like it? But it Why did you like it?

Speaker 0 (12m 55s): Because it was laid back. Yeah, it was laid back and okay. You know you can go up and get some food at the, whatever that thing was.

Speaker 6 (13m 1s): The kitchen bar. I was right in the middle.

Speaker 0 (13m 2s): Yeah. I thought it was, I didn't mind it at all for something which keep, you know, for me keeps a price point down to a reasonable ever level so the average pun can go along.

Speaker 1 (13m 10s): Yeah. See I think I've been a bit spoil because I went and saw him also in Tasmania.

Speaker 0 (13m 14s): Was that in an

Speaker 1 (13m 15s): Auditorium? That was theater style. Yep. I think theater style with one big screen behind him, which was the fireplace and that stuff. Yep. I think that was better just from a interaction point of view. But yeah, that, that venue was interesting. I dunno, it's a wedding,

Speaker 0 (13m 31s): It's

Speaker 1 (13m 31s): A venue sitting around table. But it was in the middle of nowhere as well. We got a great crowd for where it is.

Speaker 0 (13m 39s): Was it packed? Was it?

Speaker 1 (13m 40s): Yeah,

Speaker 0 (13m 40s): It was. I think. Yeah, I think so. It was,

Speaker 1 (13m 41s): Yeah, two, two to 300 people And every table was full of people standing up the back and stuff. Yeah

Speaker 0 (13m 47s): They to bring in little bar tables. Yeah, I That's

Speaker 1 (13m 49s): Cool. It was excellent. Yeah. So from that, that side of things, it was really well done and a massive shout out to friends of the show, Chris Anty and Chris Feeney for putting that on. They did an amazing thing. But to come out the back end of that is obviously gonna be, and I didn't bring them with me. The PSG auction, we're moving not away from Beyond Blue, but we are actually going to be looking after Luke's charity. It

Speaker 0 (14m 13s): Wasn't of Choice Fortnight,

Speaker 1 (14m 15s): Which is Flourish. Another mental health charity. And we're gonna be, we doing one or two? One of each.

Speaker 0 (14m 23s): One of each. Let's put two

Speaker 1 (14m 24s): Up. Okay. So what happens is that there's, there was 13 cards made specifically for the Luke Longley event. One in an Australian uniform, one in a Bulls uniform, one signed in Silver Pen, one signed in Gold Pin. They are certified from Platinum Center Grading. Cause we were there when he signed them. And yeah, they're amazing. I just love 'em. The cards, The cards are done very, very well. So they're gonna go for auction and all proceeds will go to

Speaker 0 (14m 50s): Flourish.

Speaker 1 (14m 51s): Flourish. The mental health organization that we'll have that auction following himself backs.

Speaker 0 (14m 54s): We'll have that auction up tomorrow. Yep. And it will run for two weeks. Excellent. So give it a little bit of time to get a bit of traction. So they, they auctioned some of them off at the other shows didn't they as well?

Speaker 1 (15m 5s): Yeah. And they went for like 3 50, 400 bucks. Very nice. Oh nice. That was sort of, I think we can get a lot more though because I think obviously going to the, it's kind of the same cause, but Well

Speaker 0 (15m 14s): To a

Speaker 1 (15m 14s): Bigger audience, it's a bigger audience At the same time we've got actual card collectors that

Speaker 0 (15m 18s): Are can and we got the last ones. We have. These are the last ones. There's no more after

Speaker 1 (15m 22s): These. I reckon that card guy would be up for a bit, wouldn't you? What do you reckon? Mint actually, I reckon they'd look great on the shelves at Mint Collectibles.

Speaker 0 (15m 30s): I think they'd look outstanding,

Speaker 1 (15m 31s): Wouldn't they? And that, that nice little cabinet he's got next to the start there. Mink collectibles, they'd look awesome. So

Speaker 0 (15m 36s): One of a kind

Speaker 1 (15m 37s): A, a nice big kind. So what was the best thing you got out along the event?

Speaker 0 (15m 42s): For me it was the, the story about getting into the cab.

Speaker 1 (15m 47s): Oh, the guy I didn't know who was the guy, I

Speaker 0 (15m 49s): Didn't know who was that was great. Gave him a bit of perspective on, you know, who he, who he actually was. He's just another person. Oh, he is a guy in Perth. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Don't tell me you tell the same story again. Yeah,

Speaker 1 (15m 59s): He

Speaker 0 (15m 59s): Does. Yeah, he did. Oh

Speaker 1 (16m 0s): Wow. So in, in a nutshell, very similar, the, the cab driver was a massive nineties Bulls fan and he was talking about the Bulls in the nineties and stuff. And he goes to him, did you know there was an Australian on that team? And he goes, No I didn't mate. And it was actually him. So that was, that was pretty cool. Pugs. What'd you get outta it?

Speaker 6 (16m 20s): I just loved all the, the stories like in the, the background stories where like he's hanging out with like Dennis Rodman and getting up to mischief with Dennis and all that kind of thing because Dennis is one of my favorite players. So it was kind of cool to hear like, but also sad to hear like all the struggles that Dennis goes through. But Luke was right there I guess like helping him out and encouraging him to keep going. And

Speaker 1 (16m 43s): I think he was also helping him out partying as well. Yeah,

Speaker 6 (16m 46s): That too.

Speaker 1 (16m 47s): One of the things that happened, Christopher, that you missed was that a guy got pointed out in the crowd and he said to him, Are you filming this? Turn your camera off. And was, it was really

Speaker 0 (16m 59s): Harsh who wasn't,

Speaker 1 (16m 60s): I dunno someone but it was really harsh. But he was telling stories that he didn't want to be on social media obviously. Yeah. And understandable. But everyone in the crowd just went, Yeah, fair. Like, fair enough. There was no backlash over it.

Speaker 0 (17m 12s): Tell you what though. He had a crack at me. He

Speaker 1 (17m 14s): What

Speaker 0 (17m 15s): He say about my shirt, T-shirt. Oh that's right. He did.

Speaker 6 (17m 18s): Everyone had a crack of that T-shirt.

Speaker 0 (17m 19s): T-shirt. I had the Utah Jazz T-shirt on. He said

Speaker 1 (17m 22s): The undefeated Utah Jazz

Speaker 0 (17m 23s): No. Recently defeated. And he said to me, he goes, You should be kicked out. I said, Mate, you broke my heart twice in the nineties. Don't break my heart again. And kicked me out. He said, Yeah, fair. Cool, let me stay.

Speaker 6 (17m 34s): Also like with the guy who was filming and he told him to turn it off when they had the intermission. Luke's actually come down and they shook the guy's hand like straight after. Oh did he really? Yeah. He was like, Yes, all good mate. And they both goes, Oh I'm sorry. And he's like, No, it's all good

Speaker 1 (17m 46s): Mate. Oh that's really good. Yeah. I love the fact, obviously my son had a minor accident last week. Let's

Speaker 0 (17m 52s): Which is why you weren't

Speaker 1 (17m 53s): Here. Yeah. And but he, I put him to the event in a wheelchair and we stood him up for a photo and like we're trying to work it out and Luke goes, No I've got him. And he just held him. And so one handed obviously just held him on the back. But the fact that he's like just such a good guy. Yeah.

Speaker 0 (18m 9s): Pos really personally.

Speaker 1 (18m 10s): Yeah it was really nice. But there was that one biggest star there, Christopher at this show and that star big role. Yeah, Brian Cool. And Brian Colley. There was a brown low medal winner.

Speaker 0 (18m 21s): It was a brown low medalist

Speaker 1 (18m 22s): In the audience and the fanboying that I saw happen. It's disgusting. He doesn't, It was, it was outrageous. I'm gonna say from

Speaker 0 (18m 31s): Both Pete and

Speaker 1 (18m 31s): Rob. Hey. And, and it's like the fact that

Speaker 0 (18m 34s): Sure. Actually Pete was the one,

Speaker 1 (18m 36s): You know the best comment and this is Jason nais was there and Rob's obviously a massive Lions fan and some bloke goes to him on the way out. This is before you come over actually. And he said, Oh I need to make sure I get, you know, he goes, just look at one of my signs. I'm a real estate agent now. Yeah,

Speaker 0 (18m 50s): Yeah. He, he still does the handstands. Oh, when you sell a house sells the house handstand

Speaker 1 (18m 56s): Front of the sign. That's water. No, I'm only joking. I I love you mate. No, but I went over to him and I said to him, Look one of your biggest fans here and the fact that this, this bloke absolutely adores everything year big fan, everything you've ever done. And this guy, he's looking around for a little kid to come over and I said, No, no, it's the big unit walking towards us. And I said, Do you mind if he gets a photo? He won't ask you. And he goes, I said, Come Rob, get a photo. Rob's going. No, I was go on Rob. And so I made Rob get a photo with Jason ais and it's now on the front of his fridge I think.

Full size.

Speaker 0 (19m 29s): Yeah. No one my fridge is a photo of me and Martina Hiers.

Speaker 1 (19m 33s): Is that one that got stabbed?

Speaker 0 (19m 34s): No, no. That was so it would have, it would've to be a really good photo to get Martina off. Really? Yeah, I stalked her.

Speaker 1 (19m 42s): So where did you find Martina Hiers

Speaker 0 (19m 43s): At Royal Pines. We stalked her for three days and every day she walked past, You're joking. No, no, no. Serious. And we said, Can we get a photo with you? This is before the days of mobile phones. And every day was, No, no, no Ryan, we kept walking third day she goes, Look, if I stop and take my photo with you, will you leave me alone? Maybe. She goes, That's good enough. And she had a photo taken with us.

Speaker 1 (20m 5s): You and Jen or just you?

Speaker 0 (20m 7s): Me and a mate of mine. Verna was the one that worked out where they walk after the games and all the rest of it and we're in the

Speaker 1 (20m 14s): Bows. So he's the stalker.

Speaker 0 (20m 15s): Yeah, I was the stalker's assistant in. Yeah I was when he said what we're doing, I'm going, Yeah, I'm in. Don't worry about that. That's so Yeah.

Speaker 0 (29m 18s): Friend of show. Yeah. Friend of the show and he had some choice name drop. Yep. He had some choice words for me the other day and called me something nasty.

Speaker 1 (29m 40s): What'd they, they end up doing I

Speaker 0 (29m 42s): The end squad. So Island ended up with 157. They should have made a heap more. They lost seven for 26 or something. The end And England just really

Speaker 1 (29m 52s): Well shit.

Speaker 0 (29m 53s): Nothing.

Speaker 5 (29m 54s): Yeah, it was the old Duckworth Lewis though, isn't it? Rain play? They

Speaker 5 (29m 60s): There's been like three games called like

Speaker 0 (30m 2s): Yeah three already

Speaker 5 (30m 3s): Stop playing games in Melbourne.

Speaker 1 (30m 5s): Oh, playing

Speaker 0 (30m 6s): At

Speaker 1 (30m 6s): Marvel in the rainy season. Yeah. Yeah there's there's, there's a stadium with the

Speaker 0 (30m 10s): Roof. Big flooding a roof.

Speaker 1 (30m 12s): The thing I did hate about the cricket this week is the game that was in Perth was on Perth time. Normally it's on eastern seaboard time. Yeah

Speaker 0 (30m 20s): I heard.

Speaker 1 (30m 21s): So I watched the first innings and fell asleep.

Speaker 0 (30m 23s): You watched the first innings Sent out some choice. I did messages about

Speaker 1 (30m 27s): And and I reckon the Australian captain should be sacked.

Speaker 5 (30m 30s): Someone else has said that.

Speaker 1 (30m 32s): That was Mark Woo. The two great cricket minds between us. We have a whole he of ashes winnings. I've never play in any but

Speaker 0 (30m 41s): Thanks Goy. That's like, that's like me. My photo. We Luke Long the other day

Speaker 1 (30m 45s): Between

Speaker 5 (30m 46s): Brother 20 times Better than you

Speaker 1 (30m 48s): As well. Yeah, a hundred percent. Only at bullshit. Shout

Speaker 5 (30m 52s): Out, shout out. Junior war. Not having to dig just,

Speaker 1 (30m 55s): I actually reckon Mark war was better than Steve War

Speaker 0 (30m 57s): In talent wise in

Speaker 1 (30m 59s): Slips, talent wise

Speaker 0 (31m 0s): Talent was Mark war was far better than the sleeve. Actually Steve War mentally just

Speaker 5 (31m 4s): Was, I actually had a Mark Wall bat.

Speaker 0 (31m 6s): Yeah, that's Reef

Speaker 1 (31m 8s): Mils inbound. Yeah.

Speaker 0 (31m 10s): Get old Reefy. Hey

Speaker 1 (31m 11s): Reef. Okay. And Benny Allen said island's the dark horse. But yeah

Speaker 0 (31m 14s): He would cuz he wears green.

Speaker 1 (31m 16s): So Australia weren't playing the best and they played okay then they good. And then the,

Speaker 0 (31m 20s): No we weren't good at all.

Speaker 1 (31m 21s): Then the, the captain came on to bowl the last over and they scored 20 runs off the last over

Speaker 5 (31m 28s): 20 though it's not even, it's it's good but it's not great. Was the

Speaker 1 (31m 32s): Worst over? It was the worst. Over of the innings. Innings

Speaker 5 (31m 36s): Of the innings. It was only 20 overs. So

Speaker 1 (31m 38s): Yeah. But still And bowled three wides.

Speaker 0 (31m 41s): He did Bolson pauses.

Speaker 1 (31m 43s): I called him Sey crony air. Which is probably a little bit harsh.

Speaker 5 (31m 46s): I, I,

Speaker 0 (31m 46s): Yeah, yeah cuz he hadn't been in a plane accident. But you also had a crack at Finch at the same time. I did. Right. Which was a remarkable crack because 10 minutes later he went out to bat and had one of the worst innings I've ever seen.

Speaker 1 (32m 1s): How can he have a worse innings than duck?

Speaker 0 (32m 3s): Duck? Because duck at

Speaker 1 (32m 5s): One stage duck

Speaker 0 (32m 6s): Won. At one stage I turned to the good wife and I said he should just turn around and kick his stumps and go. He was so like you're chasing eight and over and he's the opening batsman and he used up eight overs himself in eight 30 runs

Speaker 1 (32m 18s): He was getting established.

Speaker 5 (32m 19s): He must be a really good captain cuz that's kept him in the team for,

Speaker 0 (32m 24s): To be fair, five years. I don't think you were on the podcast when Adam, when I may have,

Speaker 5 (32m 28s): I try to avoid

Speaker 0 (32m 29s): Him, called out. Aaron Finch has been APU to Adam Hollyoke and Adam Hollyoke said that he's one of the best

Speaker 5 (32m 36s): Captains,

Speaker 0 (32m 37s): Captains that there are. Interesting said he's a ripper bloke and a great leader. So

Speaker 1 (32m 42s): J speaking of leaders, Leaders in the Pokemon World,

Speaker 0 (32m 46s): Jcs tools. He must be talking

Speaker 1 (32m 47s): Toys have just joined us kid A guys. Johnny

Speaker 0 (32m 51s): Join us. Did you seeto us

Speaker 1 (32m 53s): Mateus interest me. It doesn't interest me. I don't like him. Not a fan. He's so good looking because now, but he comes out,

Speaker 0 (33m 1s): He calls himself the

Speaker 1 (33m 2s): Specimen. He does, yeah. But he but he comes out one game and has a game like that. Right. What do you get? 58 off 18 or something? Yeah. An absolute cracker or he'll bowl. Really, really well. So therefore he is an allrounder but have you ever seen him bowl really well and bat really well in the same game And he, you ever seen him played more than one or two games in a row where he actually does something? I don't get

Speaker 0 (33m 22s): It. That's an interesting question. Well he's in the wrong position batting number one.

Speaker 1 (33m 26s): A hundred percent.

Speaker 0 (33m 27s): He should be opening. Yeah. Yeah

Speaker 1 (33m 28s): For sure. Him and Warner. Yeah. Finch should drop to four

Speaker 0 (33m 32s): Finch drop outta the team.

Speaker 1 (33m 33s): I agree. Yeah.

Speaker 0 (33m 34s): Brings, brings Steve Smith in and he can go at four and no, you know what I'm over give it to Warner. That got crickets. Didn't said no one ever.

Speaker 1 (33m 46s): He got his crickets

Speaker 0 (33m 47s): Button. He's be

Speaker 1 (33m 48s): Practicing. Do you know what? I don't disagree, but why wouldn't you give it to Smith? He's the,

Speaker 0 (33m 54s): He's, because Smith can hardly keep your spot. Smith's not, he's not a really a T 20 player. I'll give it a Warner. You look at the way he goes about his T 20 Cricket. Yep. It was phenomenal. On on whatever night that was. The fielding the,

Speaker 1 (34m 7s): Oh man that fielding was insane.

Speaker 0 (34m 8s): It was

Speaker 1 (34m 9s): Brilliant. They they would've, he took two catches where he jumped over the sideline. Yeah. Another one where he battered one back.

Speaker 0 (34m 15s): That one

Speaker 1 (34m 16s): Was, it was pretty impressive.

Speaker 0 (34m 18s): But yeah, look, I mean I, I'm not a fan of Warner. I think what he did was reprehensible but I also think, you know, let him let him captain on the T 20 team. He's not gonna captain on the test team.

Speaker 1 (34m 28s): No. So no one's gonna captain on.

Speaker 0 (34m 30s): I just don't think we have a leader in that T 20 team. Agree.

Speaker 1 (34m 33s): Agree. I understand. Okay. Well what about rugby league because this is the first time in history where there's been rugby World Cup for women, Rugby league, World Cup for women, Rugby league, cup for men, Cricket World Cup all happening at exactly the

Speaker 0 (34m 47s): Same time. You know, it's funny. New Zealand will probably find a way to lose 'em all

Speaker 1 (34m 50s): You reckon?

Speaker 0 (34m 51s): Yeah. I remember there was one year where New Zealand lost three World Cup finals to Australia.

Speaker 1 (34m 55s): Love

Speaker 0 (34m 56s): That. All the one good year. They wouldn't, they won't lose a soccer World Cup cause they never made it. But Australia will do that. Yeah, for sure. We'll lose for both. But yeah, I mean it is exciting time for, for world class sport.

Speaker 1 (35m 8s): But rugby league at the moment, like these scores like Australia won eighth it's day they, there's a couple like I think p and g beat the Cook Islands. That's Yeah. Good on like that. Well done. That's 26, 12, whatever they put 'em up against England or Australia or New Zealand or whatever and they're gonna lose by 80. Is that worth even looking and

Speaker 0 (35m 26s): Watching? Do you know what the icc I reckon have nailed it on the, Nailed it on the head. Hit it on the head. Hit the nail on the head. Yeah. With having the minnows play in that week leading up for the cricket. Yep. And then you take the best two outta those and you put them into

Speaker 1 (35m 39s): The, so they, they play like a round robin who makes it into the actual World Cup

Speaker 0 (35m 43s): And they, and they might do that in cause rugby leagues a bit different because you've got obviously the physical nature of the game.

Speaker 1 (35m 48s): Well Jamaica scored their first tour

Speaker 0 (35m 50s): Ever. But you might do that two months before the main World Cup.

Speaker 1 (35m 52s): Yeah, no I agree.

Speaker 0 (35m 53s): And then give them a bit of exposure to high level sport, high level games. But half a chance of winning one too. No, I agrees it must be demoralizing to lose 88 to four or whatever

Speaker 5 (36m 3s): 84. 84 84 in

Speaker 1 (36m 6s): Scotland. Yeah. And that was only cuz clear missed four shots of gold as well. So yeah they would've been hack it.

Speaker 0 (36m 12s): That was it on debut wasn't it? 28

Speaker 5 (36m 14s): Points. There's also the all ability rugby

Speaker 1 (36m 16s): Legal that that's the moment as well around the same time. So I'd rather be watching that cause I reckon gonna be better quality football.

Speaker 5 (36m 21s): Yeah I we, I think we've played, we got Flogged by England.

Speaker 1 (36m 25s): Oh really?

Speaker 5 (36m 26s): 48 10

Speaker 1 (36m 27s): And there's eight roller coast Titans in that? I think so, yeah, something like that. Then

Speaker 5 (36m 32s): We was closer with New Zealand. We'd just got Pit Bow in New Zealand but I think Scotland doing it as well. That's awesome. I only know the four team. I've only seen highlights of two games or there's a guy on Twitter or Instagram called Clark. He's NRL and he's been giving updates

Speaker 1 (36m 49s): On the availability.

Speaker 5 (36m 50s): Yeah. Cause I haven't seen

Speaker 1 (36m 51s): Leg Ability. It's called Leg.

Speaker 5 (36m 52s): That's it. I haven't seen it on NRL

Speaker 0 (36m 54s): Or whatever. So we, we went to Titans game earlier this year thanks to PSG and they played a curtain razor to the main game. Yeah. And the one thing that I love about them and we have a guy who's a local here, Daniel Ramich who comes into the car shop occasionally and he does a AFL team. He coaches an AFL team similar, but it's just their passion for the game. Oh yeah. And it's just so uplifting to see these guys and one of 'em scored a try. The Titans won this game 40 to N and one of 'em scored a try to go up 32 nil.

And he's got the crowd, he's, there's only about 150 people there. But he's given

Speaker 1 (37m 28s): It's cheer

Speaker 0 (37m 29s): And it's just brilliant and everyone gets on board and cheers it along, you know, and they love

Speaker 1 (37m 33s): It. So, And it's great to watch. It's great to watch. And isn't

Speaker 0 (37m 35s): That what sport's supposed to be really?

Speaker 5 (37m 37s): Well even jwa, his brother's involved in that team. Yeah. And he wasn't getting a game with the Titans so he played in that as well. So he just wanted to play cuz he enjoyed it. And then like you said, like you were saying, everyone just loves playing and exciting to play so

Speaker 1 (37m 52s): And the fact those kids get to play with play. Yeah

Speaker 5 (37m 54s): It

Speaker 1 (37m 55s): Was awesome. We went, I went to the, the Titans presentation night and the bit that we loved the most was they actually caught up the legibility players that were gonna be playing in the World Cup. Oh wow. And they made a really big thing of it and the best and fairest and that sort of stuff was all announced on the night for the leg ability. Good. Which is good. I've got a few comments here. Card guide Jamaica scoring their first try. So good. Yeah, indeed mate. Benny Allen reckons at Ireland are a dark horse for the rug we league World Cup and also the cricket.

Speaker 0 (38m 23s): Yes.

Speaker 1 (38m 24s): Zara Canfield should win it for Australia. I don't know what sport that's in Zara. Canfield? No, maybe women's.

Speaker 0 (38m 31s): Oh no that's, she's a, that'd be Bailey and I'm pretty sure he collects her auto. She's a league play for the Titans.

Speaker 1 (38m 39s): Zara Kingfield

Speaker 0 (38m 40s): Pretty sure.

Speaker 1 (38m 41s): Oh there you go.

Speaker 0 (38m 42s): Tell us, tell us we're right or

Speaker 1 (38m 44s): Wrong. Tell us. Indeed. Indeed. Either way. Okay.

Speaker 5 (38m 47s): Did you see the nipple?

Speaker 0 (38m 48s): Nrl? W Yeah.

Speaker 1 (38m 50s): Oh the Nle. The nle.

Speaker 5 (38m 54s): I

Speaker 1 (38m 54s): Did someone explain it

Speaker 5 (38m 55s): To me? No, I can't really. But the thing I love about sport is that all week she's been like the face,

Speaker 0 (39m 1s): She's issue, she's been

Speaker 1 (39m 2s): Slammed for Who's that? Gina?

Speaker 5 (39m 4s): No, no, no the player.

Speaker 1 (39m 5s): Oh the indigenous. The indigenous

Speaker 5 (39m 7s): Player. I forget her name but saying you know how bad it is and she like unfairly obviously, but she's been the scapegoat And then we played last night, was it last night? Yep. And she scores the winning goal.

Speaker 0 (39m 21s): Oh yeah, that's awesome. Got a

Speaker 5 (39m 23s): Lot of sports. Oh and that's the thing I love about, it's just like, you know all this shit during the week but then she goes on the court and obviously performs amazingly and wins the game and she's only the third indigenous player to play in the netball team. And the first in like 28 years, 20

Speaker 1 (39m 40s): Years. Wow.

Speaker 0 (39m 41s): That's

Speaker 5 (39m 41s): Awesome. So yeah, she's obviously super excited and like interviewed and I feel bad for both parties but like the interviewer, I had to ask the questions like how's the week and Yeah. Yeah. And then goes on and like obviously it's emotional so she's like crying and stuff, but just how good it is that, you know, she can overcome all the crap during the week. Go out and put on a performance and then win the game

Speaker 0 (40m 4s): You wanna do We wanna touch on the crap though.

Speaker 1 (40m 6s): Yeah, I a hundred percent

Speaker 0 (40m 8s): Because I find it to be a remarkable issue that we've got players dictating who can't sponsor.

Speaker 1 (40m 16s): This is my question, right? As everyone knows, PSGs the major sponsor of the NBL bid that we are doing here on the Gold Coast and we're in the process as part of that NBL bid of getting commercial contracts in place. Right? So I've gotta go to a larger organization and sell a brand on the front of the shirt. Yep. Yeah. So are we saying I can't sell that brand on the front of the shirt unless the players agree?

Speaker 0 (40m 41s): That's what we're saying.

Speaker 1 (40m 42s): Absolutely. But aren't the players employed by whoever it is they're employed by that pay their wages, which the wages are actually provided by the sponsor to actually enable 'em to pay the wages. Is it that or is it a racial issue? Is the a we've gone way too far. Land rights issue. What? What's the issue? I don't

Speaker 5 (41m 3s): Understand. I don't think we're gonna answer it. Well, the issue, I don't think there's one issue either. Yeah, there's there's

Speaker 1 (41m 7s): Who is the brand? Was it, it wasn't Reinhardt, was it? Yeah,

Speaker 0 (41m 10s): It was, it was

Speaker 5 (41m 11s): Her Hancock. Hancock

Speaker 0 (41m 12s): Morning.

Speaker 1 (41m 13s): Yeah. Original idea.

Speaker 0 (41m 15s): Her father 40 years ago. Yes. Made some really racist coins.

Speaker 1 (41m 20s): Yes.

Speaker 0 (41m 20s): And that's, that's the issue.

Speaker 1 (41m 22s): So it's not even from now, but

Speaker 0 (41m 24s): It was years ago thing that

Speaker 5 (41m 25s): Silly and Yeah, but this's also saying that she didn't come out and denounce it, Denounce it. So, so there's all these other things as

Speaker 1 (41m 34s): Well. So then she's pulled 15 million sponsorship.

Speaker 5 (41m 36s): Well I, I dunno, I, my

Speaker 1 (41m 39s): Old old, my old man said some pretty fucked up stuff. I don't gonna go out and denounce that if someone comes forward, but I just dunno, you know what I mean? I just dunno. Different times

Speaker 5 (41m 46s): Where we draw the line. Yeah. Like I know, I'm sure like there's other big brands in the world that have done some horrible things. Yep.

Speaker 0 (41m 54s): But see now we've got, in the afl we've got Freeman. Have you heard that one?

Speaker 1 (41m 58s): No. They're pull pulling out as well.

Speaker 0 (41m 60s): They've got a, they've got a group of supporters, part of me that are pushing to get Woodside Petroleum taken out because they use fossil fuels. Like, what the hell this is? This is a brand that has supported that club since start.

Speaker 5 (42m 12s): Yeah. And that's, that's the thing that's gonna be gonna run into more

Speaker 1 (42m 15s): Well that card guy says sponsors pay their wages.

Speaker 0 (42m 18s): Exactly. That's

Speaker 1 (42m 18s): Right. So let's tell,

Speaker 0 (42m 20s): I'll look at it really simply and say, if you want, if you want to ditch 15 million bucks, go and find me 15 million.

Speaker 1 (42m 26s): Yeah. Well the other thing there is the fact that the netball is in the shit massively anyway. They're so far in debt, they don't even know if they're gonna have a season or a series next year. It's, it's all about like, well you've got an opportunity, you're biting yourself on the, But political correctness gone madre penguin cards and welcome to the podcast mate.

Speaker 6 (42m 46s): But that's like, even people that release songs like let's say rappers and stuff, release songs and they might have said spazz in a rap 12 years ago, they're getting called out for it and they're for the derogatory way of putting down spastic sticks or that kind of word. But spa is a urban hip-hop, like slang term for like just going nuts. So like

Speaker 1 (43m 9s): It's not even, it's not even like attached to

Speaker 6 (43m 11s): That. No. And it's like, and it's, yeah people are calling them out like, oh you need to apologize. It's like, no, no they don't like,

Speaker 1 (43m 19s): It's, it is political correctness. Well

Speaker 5 (43m 21s): Things just change though as well.

Speaker 6 (43m 22s): Like everyone's too

Speaker 5 (43m 23s): Sensitive. Years ago, you know, Windfield was sponsoring everything and tobacco and alcohol was sponsoring and that's changed. So,

Speaker 1 (43m 30s): But the thing, what they did there is they made a, as a league made a conscious decision to ban certain types of advertising. But they said in within the next three to five years, this is what's gonna happen. They did? Yeah. Yeah. It was never, Oh, we're not gonna play today cuz we don't like what's written on our shirt. The women NBA loses 10 million every year. It gets subsidized and stays alive from the nba. Yep. There you go.

Speaker 0 (43m 56s): Unfortunately for netball, there's no,

Speaker 1 (43m 57s): There's none of that there.

Speaker 0 (43m 59s): None of that money

Speaker 1 (43m 60s): In there. AWS cards. Imagine if all AFL or NRL players start protesting Fox Sports from something 80 years ago. The billions from sports are all gone. Where do you draw the line?

Speaker 5 (44m 11s): Yeah, well like messy. And I think it was Ronaldo actually he doesn't like Coke so he's removed Coke from a couple of the interview. Cause you know when they go Yeah

Speaker 1 (44m 21s): When they, they put him in front of

Speaker 5 (44m 22s): Him. Yeah. And there's a couple of German, they play in the German football league. They, they're Muslim so they don't drink alcohol but when they celebrate they obviously bring champagne and beers and they just obviously remove themselves from that situation. Even with,

Speaker 6 (44m 38s): But it's like Michael Jordan when he won 92 gold medal and they had Reebok on their shirt so he just put the American flag over it. So

Speaker 0 (44m 45s): Just

Speaker 5 (44m 46s): To hide it, there's been like some Muslim, I'm gonna say footy plays that didn't want to wear certain things so they just covered it up. Like they don't can't have gambling. When Sonny Bill played at the roosters, he couldn't have gambling stuff on his kids. So he just

Speaker 6 (44m 59s): Put put tape over

Speaker 1 (45m 1s): Over it. Yeah. Look at the Manley jersey issue.

Speaker 0 (45m 2s): Yeah, I was gonna say we probably should Des

Speaker 1 (45m 5s): Lost his job. It's devastating.

Speaker 0 (45m 7s): Everyone lost their job.

Speaker 1 (45m 8s): It's atrocious. There needs to be an investigation.

Speaker 5 (45m 10s): He's a, he's

Speaker 0 (45m 11s): Investigation

Speaker 1 (45m 11s): Be or coag. Didn't he tape up the VB logo or something and Sbw as well? Yeah,

Speaker 5 (45m 18s): That was actually when we, we won, I wanna say a test series recently they all taking a photo of champagne and UIE had to remove himself from the photo and then Patty put

Speaker 0 (45m 29s): The champagne.

Speaker 5 (45m 29s): Put the champagne and he told everyone goes bring back the photo. Yeah. Cause obviously you wanna celebrate with your teammates. So

Speaker 1 (45m 34s): We're gonna leave it with that card guy today. From that point of view, as a per, as a person of darker persuasion, I don't get offended easily makes life a lot nicer. Not being triggered constantly

Speaker 6 (45m 45s): Straight up.

Speaker 0 (45m 46s): Just be a good human.

Speaker 1 (45m 48s): That's

Speaker 0 (45m 48s): All it is. Doesn't matter what Race, color, Creed, Apollo Creed,

Speaker 0 (52m 39s): In national treasures. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (52m 41s): Oh

Speaker 0 (52m 42s): Yeah. So I don't know if you've been keeping an eye on what's been happening with national treasures. A couple of strange things happened. One was that the first off the line products sold for a lot less than what the, the hobby box is sold for.

Speaker 1 (52m 53s): Why is that? Does someone know something?

Speaker 0 (52m 55s): No, it was one of those Dutch auctions.

Speaker 1 (52m 58s): So explain the Dutch auction to me.

Speaker 0 (52m 59s): So they started 10 million.

Speaker 1 (52m 60s): Bring the Dutch man in the room

Speaker 0 (53m 2s): In Blink and Vi Well,

Speaker 1 (53m 4s): Hova Hova.

Speaker 0 (53m 4s): Yeah. Started 10 grand and they just keep reducing the price every five minutes. I think

Speaker 1 (53m 9s): So someone said

Speaker 0 (53m 9s): That's what someone says. Yes. And it got down to I think 2,300. But it got down to the lowest. I think they were willing for it to go. Yeah. Yeah. And the hobby boxes were three and a half thousand. Wow. So, And you get better cards than personal line too. Yeah. And the thing that was that's really been interesting is that a Mumbai to 10 auto got pulled and like everyone goes into meltdown thinking that's gonna be a huge card and a lot of money and sold for 7,200 Australian dollars. Which is pretty much a cost of a box.

Didn't disappointment in Australia. Yep.

Speaker 1 (53m 44s): But that that, that's interesting. Is that cause it's road to the World Cup and it's country as opposed to like club?

Speaker 0 (53m 51s): No idea. It's a lot of people are surprised by it. Most people thought that car was 20 grand.

Speaker 1 (53m 56s): Well everyone's saying soccer's the next thing isn't it? Yep. That was usd. I

Speaker 5 (54m 0s): Think people are upset

Speaker 0 (54m 1s): $7 in usd. Was it? Yeah.

Speaker 5 (54m 3s): I think people are upset at the checklist. There's not orders for players that they would've

Speaker 1 (54m 8s): Expected. What are you saying the other day that's on the checklist? There's some, or someone was saying that there's actually players that aren't even

Speaker 5 (54m 14s): Yeah, there's teams in the World Cup. Yep.

Speaker 1 (54m 17s): Is not a good thing.

Speaker 0 (54m 18s): Well I guess with the road, with the road with the World Cup, the team's not being finalized until later this time. Yeah. Yeah. It's so there has to be a cutoff time, doesn't it?

Speaker 5 (54m 26s): Exactly. Yeah.

Speaker 0 (54m 27s): But yeah, very interesting. But beautiful looking product as national treasures always is, I believe Prism, the prism road to the World Cup. Which if you can find a box of hobby for less than $2,000, Get it.

Speaker 1 (54m 40s): Jerry ended up auctioning that and got 10 K a U d 7,000 usd. And the logo is horrible too. I tell you, I have to agree 100% with that. I was looking at that earlier. The logo for the Qatar.

Speaker 0 (54m 53s): Qatar, Aye. Yep.

Speaker 1 (54m 54s): The Qatar Walk.
