Speaker 3 (1m 55s): I like the cricket. I just find it really boring to watch.
Speaker 4 (1m 57s): Amen. What? Yeah,
Speaker 0 (1m 59s): All cricket or plane cricket Cool test matches.
Speaker 3 (2m 2s): Oh,
Speaker 0 (2m 3s): Because they're bating. Well
Speaker 3 (2m 5s): I, I don't mind like if it's on, like I can sit there and watch it but I wouldn't go outta my way to put it on.
Speaker 0 (2m 10s): Are you a glimpse? Yes. Just like having a glimpse here and there. Yeah, like it's on in my office and I sort every now and then if someone's, I hear a clap, I look up.
Speaker 4 (2m 18s): Look for the replay. Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3 (2m 20s): I'll check the scores like twice
Speaker 4 (2m 21s): A day. It's like watching soccer.
Speaker 0 (2m 22s): Yeah. What about 2020?
Speaker 3 (2m 25s): I'm not that into it. We did do a tipping comp for it last year. It was the hardest thing ever tried to
Speaker 0 (2m 29s): Do in my life in 2020. How's that work? Just like who wins each
Speaker 3 (2m 32s): Game? Yeah. Yeah. But we like, you know in AFL tipping comps you have like rounds. Yeah. It's hard to do rounds for that because like two days the team might play again.
Speaker 0 (2m 41s): The same team. Yeah. Yeah. Cuz there's also, there's 61 games or something. I know next year they've cut that back to 48 in the Big Bash. But yeah, that, that's interesting. We actually went, I took my son cuz Adam Holyoke obviously a friend of the show. He was coaching the heat at Metricon. Nice. On the Gold Coast and it was really good. Good game actually. And there was 15,000 people there. So surprised.
Speaker 3 (3m 2s): Usually it's like half the amount of the gaba. But there was
Speaker 0 (3m 5s): Heaps of the, it was unbelievable. I'll tell you what was there. It was a whole heap of ladies dressed to go to a nightclub. I was so surprised. Like there was families and mums and dads and then there was all these chicks walked in, all dressed up, ready to go out,
Speaker 3 (3m 18s): Go to the cricket before you go out. Oh it must
Speaker 0 (3m 20s): Have been, it was, it was just unbelievable.
Speaker 4 (3m 22s): Strange tradition.
Speaker 0 (3m 23s): Yeah, it was one of those things. But that, that was interesting. But the thing I find with cricket is Big Bashier gets excitingly hitting big six ERs and obviously the test match goes for five days, which is still interesting. But then you watch the basketball and then what happened yesterday or the day before? And the day before that was just unbelievable. Like OKC scoring 150
Speaker 4 (3m 43s): Points against the Celtics too without Shay. What's insane, how's that work? There was like five or six players with 20 points each.
Speaker 0 (3m 51s): Well Giddy ended up with like what Giddy killed him. 23 or something. Five and five. He's amazing. But what did did was Tatum playing or were Tatum
Speaker 4 (3m 58s): Ta Tatum and Brown both had I think like 30 each. So they played like their normal game. Just o KC just blitzed it and went
Speaker 0 (4m 7s): Bonker. But 150 points. That's a lot of points. Yeah, I know GD had a 17 point quarter.
Speaker 4 (4m 13s): Yeah
Speaker 0 (4m 13s): That's just amazing. And then the day before, I think it was some dude
Speaker 4 (4m 19s): Donovan Mitchell who
Speaker 0 (4m 20s): Is probably the Mussies in Oh little dude. Yeah. In person Littlest Blake you've ever seen in your life Him, him and score 71
Speaker 4 (4m 27s): Points. Him and Dort from O KC are just like,
Speaker 0 (4m 29s): It
Speaker 4 (4m 30s): Was unbelievable. Running back is insane
Speaker 0 (4m 32s): But 71 points. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (4m 34s): Well
Speaker 0 (4m 34s): Was he But that's before that
Speaker 4 (4m 36s): I think like 56 maybe.
Speaker 0 (4m 39s): Cause that's a big difference.
Speaker 4 (4m 40s): Yeah. And he had back to back 50 point games when he played for Utah in the playoffs. Yeah. So like he, he can ball
Speaker 0 (4m 47s): 70 ones ball umbrella.
Speaker 4 (4m 49s): Yeah. But then if you look at it also that same day Clay Thompson had 54.
Speaker 0 (4m 54s): So was something
Speaker 4 (4m 55s): Like a Christmas or something. Yeah. With only two free throws though. Where Donovan Mitchell had like 20 free fries. So if you put it in perspective, like Clay Thompson had a better game without the free phrase.
Speaker 0 (5m 6s): Wow.
Speaker 4 (5m 7s): Yeah, it's
Speaker 3 (5m 7s): Crazy. You didn't even like get that many points. Like surely there's just not enough time.
Speaker 0 (5m 10s): Yeah, well that that's, that's where my head goes like 150 points over what? Oh yeah, that's four 12 minute quarters. Yeah. Which I know are fully timed and it goes for about two hours. But still that's a lot of points.
Speaker 4 (5m 20s): Yeah, well normally you,
Speaker 0 (5m 22s): You're around the
Speaker 4 (5m 23s): Hundred mark, you cool off eventually.
Speaker 0 (5m 24s): Yeah. But you're also normally around that a hundred mark or between 70 and one 10. Well
Speaker 4 (5m 28s): There's even the game where Brooklyn had like 90 points in the first half. I think they only ended on like 134 like you do cool down after a while. But they just didn't,
Speaker 0 (5m 37s): They
Speaker 4 (5m 37s): Kept going, kept going.
Speaker 0 (5m 39s): Brooklyn going well.
Speaker 4 (5m 40s): Oh yeah, they lost today though. I was just watching that. Oh
Speaker 0 (5m 42s): Really?
Speaker 4 (5m 42s): Dang. But KD had 44. What's that? He was
Speaker 0 (5m 45s): Killing it hand in a row.
Speaker 4 (5m 46s): They had 12 in a row.
Speaker 0 (5m 48s): Love it. And they were saying how good Benny's playing.
Speaker 4 (5m 50s): Oh yeah. It's so, even
Speaker 0 (5m 52s): Though he's not scoring heaps of points, he's
Speaker 4 (5m 53s): Just playing. Doesn't need to, it's not his game. I love it. It's not his game. That's what people need to understand. So
Speaker 0 (5m 57s): What's your basketball M like?
Speaker 3 (6m 2s): Yeah, I don't really follow the basketball too much. I
Speaker 0 (6m 5s): Do You like watching it? Oh you haven't. Have you ever been to a big game like an n b game?
Speaker 3 (6m 11s): I've never been to a, oh maybe I went to one ages ago when we were on the Gold Coast, but I don't really remember it.
Speaker 0 (6m 17s): Well you'll be able to come to a lot soon when we get the license. If we get the license.
Speaker 4 (6m 20s): No, no, when,
Speaker 0 (6m 21s): When, when, when, when, when?
Speaker 4 (6m 22s): When
Speaker 3 (6m 23s): I, the only time I'd either play or watch basketballs when I play two K Xbox
Speaker 0 (6m 28s): Fair. Cool.
Speaker 3 (6m 28s): And that's
Speaker 0 (6m 29s): Why I Have you ever scored 150 points? No. No,
Speaker 3 (6m 31s): No. I suck at it. Xbox.
Speaker 0 (6m 34s): Well we went to the Bullets game last weekend on Newsday. Actually went to the Bullets game and they got smashed and it was just atrocious to watch. Seriously. It was that bad. You see professional athletes missing layups are still out. Hey I don't understand that. Yeah, baes was out with a back injury. Yeah, but I don't understand how professional athletes just missed layups when And also they're six 10 and you're right next to the hoop. I understand.
Speaker 4 (6m 59s): That's what bothers me in Australia. Understand 10 guys
Speaker 0 (7m 1s): Doing layouts. Yeah, well exactly.
Speaker 4 (7m 2s): Come on. I'm five nine and I at least try and dunk it unless
Speaker 3 (7m 6s): They're already touching the red
Speaker 0 (7m 7s): For there. Well that's the thing, it's like they're missing and then they'll have another tab and it'll be another tap and it's just like, it's not good. It's not good. Anyway, so what does this whole thing about 70 points and all this due to card value, does
Speaker 4 (7m 19s): It increase? Yeah. Well it depends on the
Speaker 0 (7m 21s): Don't Mitchell, right? Yeah. Scores 71 points.
Speaker 4 (7m 25s): Oh did you see the four of his cards? Come on. Like Facebook on
Speaker 0 (7m 28s): Sale. But what happens to his card value? Does it go? Cause it is a stock market, isn't
Speaker 4 (7m 32s): It? It yeah, it basically is these days. So it wouldn't surprise me if it's up high at the moment and then it'll drop down back to normal.
Speaker 0 (7m 39s): So he has a 12 point game tomorrow and everyone's stuffed. Cause
Speaker 4 (7m 42s): I think he's playing right now actually. He's on my fantasy team so I can find that out really easy. But yeah, 71 points though. That's amazing.
Speaker 0 (7m 53s): Rob's watching Cricket. They meant to say not us.
Speaker 4 (7m 55s): Well he finished today with 20.
Speaker 0 (7m 57s): Oh did he? Yep. That's a big turnaround. Giddy the goat. Yeah mate. GI Giddy is good, but he's not the goat. It'll take a while to become the goat. But he's on his way I suppose. And big chop man's watching the cricket tour it looks like. So. So card values. Rais and fall as we know. What are you seeing?
Speaker 4 (8m 17s): Well I saw one of his, on one of his, it's an encased. I was gonna say tops, but it wasn't tops. It's like a panini absolute card. Normally they sell for like $60. Yep. It sold for $160. Oh there you go. Yesterday doubled. Someone was like buyer's remorse type I I gotta have it. Gotta have it. What do you call that? Fomo. Fomo, yeah. Fair enough. So if I had one of those cards I would've put it straight up and try to sell. Sell
Speaker 0 (8m 42s): That too.
Speaker 4 (8m 42s): Rob did.
Speaker 0 (8m 43s): What
Speaker 4 (8m 43s): Did he
Speaker 0 (8m 44s): Rob sold all these Donovan Mitchell. Oh
Speaker 4 (8m 46s): Did he really? Yeah. I've got a prison but I, I wanna
Speaker 0 (8m 48s): Keep it. Yeah, I think, I think it's worth keeping. Yeah. All. So we've just come back from the us Woo. And you and Rob held the fault while we're away.
Speaker 3 (8m 55s): We did a right
Speaker 0 (8m 56s): Job. Oh mate. We heard, we heard great reviews. I'd love to hear the reviews from the guys online now what they thought of the podcasts when me and Pugs weren't here. They probably liked it better I reckon.
Speaker 4 (9m 7s): I think it was just,
Speaker 3 (9m 7s): It was just Rob speaking the whole time.
Speaker 4 (9m 9s): I wasn't, and you and
Speaker 3 (9m 11s): I was just sitting next to him.

Speaker 4 (9m 32s): Short. Short. E. That's good.
Speaker 0 (9m 34s): Well it's interesting you say that is because we've been told Yeah. That they want us to shorten
Speaker 4 (9m 38s): Them. Yeah. 30 minutes.
Speaker 0 (9m 39s): So Rob's going Gotta be 30 minutes max. Everyone's told me 30 minutes and I think that's actually just 30 minutes of Rob talking.
Speaker 4 (9m 45s): Well we're good listeners though. We are.
Speaker 0 (9m 48s): We like, we like to talk a little
Speaker 4 (9m 50s): Bit. Yeah, we do our own
Speaker 0 (9m 51s): Thing. Well we've had the pleasure of being in the US for the last four weeks before Christmas. Merry Christmas, snapping ear and all that shit to everyone. But we've, we've had an experience of a lifetime.
Speaker 4 (10m 1s): Oh,
Speaker 0 (10m 2s): Pray so ridiculous. Pugs have never been to the us You ever been to the us?
Speaker 3 (10m 5s): No, I've never been out of Australia.
Speaker 0 (10m 6s): Haven't you? No. Only
Speaker 4 (10m 7s): Place you've been to Darwin.
Speaker 3 (10m 9s): That's about it.
Speaker 0 (10m 10s): That's still in Australia.
Speaker 4 (10m 11s): And we took him, we took him to Melbourne. That's, and he's like, yeah,
Speaker 0 (10m 15s): So he's done two states. Well we'll get the rest of the states done and then we'll take you to the us. But we had the pleasure of going to the US on the Chris Sty tour. Massive shout out to a guy named Mark Sansbury. Woo. Who is the guru, guru guru. He's the guru of everything. And this bloke is the Australian under 17, 18, and 19 team manager. So this guy's job is to go overseas with the teams and manage 'em and make sure so good man, these kids get looked after. Yeah. So therefore everywhere we went where there was an Aussie player, whether it was college, whether it was NBA or anything, obviously all used to play for Mark.
So the guru, it just fucking knew everyone. It was unbelievable, right? Yeah, it was good. And so we started our tour in New York City, which is an interesting place if you've never been there before.
Speaker 4 (11m 3s): Oh very. Yeah.
Speaker 0 (11m 4s): Well where was that? Like Pugs, New York.
Speaker 4 (11m 6s): Just people like, it's like a traffic jam walking. It's like Jazz's
Speaker 0 (11m 11s): Coming from Darwin coast, it's just fucking people everywhere.
Speaker 4 (11m 14s): It's like, come on. But then they all live on top of each other as well. It's like
Speaker 0 (11m 18s): Yeah, it's all stacked up as opposed to
Speaker 4 (11m 19s): Out isn't it? It's insane man.
Speaker 0 (11m 20s): Yeah. So it was quite funny cuz the day you guys arrived, I get this call saying Hey we've arrived and stuff. I said, what are you doing? We're going to a card show. Oh yeah. Yeah. So we then I jumped in a cab with these boys cuz Christopher was crook. So he decided it was a good idea for him to stay in a room and just get better. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (11m 36s): Didn't you isolate himself? He
Speaker 0 (11m 37s): Did Olay for two days, did
Speaker 4 (11m 38s): Very well.
Speaker 0 (11m 39s): We all should have done that in the end. But what's happened is that we've gone to a card show at, do you
Speaker 4 (11m 45s): Remember the name of it? Westchester.
Speaker 0 (11m 46s): Westchester. That's
Speaker 4 (11m 47s): New Jersey.
Speaker 0 (11m 48s): And tell us about an hour out New York City and there was 150 tables.
Speaker 4 (11m 53s): Yeah. Something like that. It was crammed all up into
Speaker 0 (11m 55s): Spot. And so we walked into this hotel and they know how to do a card show. Oh
Speaker 4 (11m 60s): It was insane. It was and it's a small one. It's a small show. It
Speaker 0 (12m 4s): Was just a little local regional show like what's that other show in Australia that we don't mention their name of Get now there
Speaker 4 (12m 10s): The Hangout hobby. Yeah,
Speaker 0 (12m 11s): That one. The one that's in Brie with only 15 tables coming up I think. Yeah, it's 15 to 20 tables.
Speaker 4 (12m 18s): I think it's 60 plus. I was talking to Andrew this morning. Oh
Speaker 0 (12m 21s): Is that 60 people or tables?
Speaker 4 (12m 24s): Tables.
Speaker 0 (12m 24s): Sorry I can't help myself.
Speaker 4 (12m 26s): Depends on if the rain's there again this
Speaker 0 (12m 28s): Year. Yeah, exactly. But the big thing, 150 tables and these guys are selling everything from sports ma'am. All the way through the cards and all that sort of stuff. And we picked up some bargains.
Speaker 4 (12m 36s): Oh
Speaker 0 (12m 37s): Yeah, I got some absolute crackers.
Speaker 4 (12m 38s): There was awesome
Speaker 0 (12m 39s): Stuff I was walking through and this guy goes br I'm going,
Speaker 4 (12m 43s): Fuck.
Speaker 0 (12m 43s): That's right. And it was a dude we'd met at National that I'd given a Collingwood card to Yeah, an AFL card, A slab card for me. He goes, you got from psg? And I was like, fuck. That was just really bizarre In the middle of New Jersey. Yeah. So that, that was pretty cool. The card show was good. What'd you get? Anything good? Did
Speaker 4 (13m 1s): Some trades. Yeah, we did a couple of trades. James did some big
Speaker 0 (13m 5s): Stash, sold some stuff
Speaker 4 (13m 6s): Didn't he? Yeah, he sold and traded and
Speaker 0 (13m 8s): Yeah. Made a bit of cash.
Speaker 4 (13m 8s): Yeah. And that's helped him with his,
Speaker 0 (13m 11s): He's still on his tour. Yeah,
Speaker 4 (13m 13s): I think he's on a plane. He's been going every card shop he's been able to get to and just sell and trade and he's going nuts. Oh, he's probably on a plane actually.
Speaker 0 (13m 19s): He's on a plane now at the moment. Yeah. So yeah, that was, then we got back to New York City and that night we went to a Nick's game.
Speaker 4 (13m 26s): Yes.
Speaker 0 (13m 26s): Well the night before you guys all arrived. Chris and I were already there. We had, he
Speaker 4 (13m 30s): Went to the Jar
Speaker 0 (13m 30s): One, didn't he? And we went to see Ja Morant play and we had, I'm not gonna call him Courtside, but I was sitting behind John McEnroe. So John, you
Speaker 4 (13m 40s): Really, John McEnroe didn't tell me that John
Speaker 0 (13m 42s): McEnroe was front row and we were two rows behind John McEnroe. That's sick. And so we were right behind the hoop and it was unbelievable. Just saying, made Jam Moran, if anyone obviously watching on the tele and he's just got half a second more than everyone else. Like he'll get in the air and he'll just float for half a second. Oh he's ridiculous. And then he'll then do something that was just so amazing to watch. And the other one I really enjoyed was Adams the Kiwi. And Chris's biggest thing of his That's, I was gonna
Speaker 4 (14m 11s): Say mini Chris
Speaker 0 (14m 12s): For this, our whole tour, right? We're away for three and a half weeks. We saw 13 NBA games, college games, NFL games, hockey games. And Chris's favorite moment come the day before the tour. So Chris's favorite moment was we sat there and then Steven Adams is there taking free frozen and you know how he looks like Aquaman? Yeah.
Speaker 4 (14m 34s): The guy
Speaker 0 (14m 35s): In the deepest fucking New York accent.
Speaker 4 (14m 38s): Your mother's a fish.
Speaker 0 (14m 41s): She's,
Speaker 4 (14m 41s): She's,
Speaker 0 (14m 43s): She's yelling out saying Your
Speaker 4 (14m 45s): Mother's
Speaker 0 (14m 46s): A fish every time this guy. And I thought he was in a we himself. He was. He just thought that was the best thing ever. And even coming back and everyone's got stories of the tour and like we went and did some amazing things, which we'll talk about now. But his, your mother's a fish was the best thing he's ever, even at the Bullets game last week, he's yelling that out to
Speaker 4 (15m 4s): One
Speaker 0 (15m 5s): Of the players while he's shooting free, bro. So he is a special individual and it was his birthday.
Speaker 4 (15m 10s): I like the way he said, the way he tells the story though, it's so good more than
Speaker 0 (15m 13s): Sophia. That's ridiculous. Yeah. So we, we got to see Jar that first night. Who would, who'd we see
Speaker 4 (15m 21s): Giannis?
Speaker 0 (15m 22s): It was Giannis. Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (15m 44s): 7 4, 7 2 I think.
Speaker 0 (15m 47s): Yeah. He's a big unit playing like a point guard. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (15m 49s): Just plays like kd Unbelievable. But not as quite as good as shooting as kd but just plays like kd.
Speaker 0 (15m 54s): But he didn't miss
Speaker 4 (15m 55s): No. Like
Speaker 0 (15m 56s): He actually had an absolute blind. He got 20
Speaker 4 (15m 58s): So points and then you have KD hitting 45 like it's nothing.

Speaker 0 (16m 36s): Gosh, I want to go again. Yes. But, but the big thing with that is that we got to do experiences. So before every game we actually went and sat courtside and watched 'em warm up. So at different games we went to like when we're in Dallas and all that, like you've got Luca just there, you've got Ben Simmons just there, you've got Janni. It was, it was
Speaker 4 (16m 55s): Ridiculous wasn't it? You put your hand out, they give you high fives and stuff. Oh man. It's amazing.
Speaker 0 (16m 59s): It was, it was pretty cool on there. But we, so we did New York. What was your highlight in New York?
Speaker 4 (17m 4s): Rucker Park.
Speaker 0 (17m 5s): Rer Park. Oh,
Speaker 4 (17m 6s): Only thing I missed straight up. Yeah. Oh you didn't go.
Speaker 0 (17m 8s): We went, we were in
Speaker 4 (17m 9s): That's Philly into Philly now. See I, I'm street ball. Like my whole, everything is street ball. The only thing I wanted to do, go Rocker Park. That was just, that was incredible. As soon as I walked in there I was like, yeah, this is where I meant to be. Like it was, it was awesome. Sucks being injured, but it was still fun.
Speaker 0 (17m 25s): And then we broke our New York trip up by going to Boston.
Speaker 4 (17m 29s): Bro, I don't like, like I'm not a fan of Boston Celtics whatsoever. That was probably the one of the most incredible for sure things I've ever seen or witnessed in my life.
Speaker 0 (17m 38s): We, we went on a bus tour and one of the guys who was on the tour, but not actually one of the guys that arranged it had arranged for us to go to the Boston training facility. So we actually got backstage to the Boston training facility facility and got a tour all the way through the facility. And it's on like the third story of a building. And there's two courts. There's, this thing was just insane. This the whole facility. The
Speaker 4 (17m 59s): Facility was on the third
Speaker 0 (17m 60s): Floor. Yeah. Yeah. So you go up in a lift. Yeah. And then it's on the, the courts on the third floor cuz underneath these I think shops and stuff, isn't it? It's like a whole precinct that they've built down there. Yeah, it's, yeah. New Balance built it for 'em And then it's where the kitchen, we went in their change rooms. We sat in the seats, they do their video stuff. It's the Boston Celtics. Yeah. Their gym. And they just sort kept sticking their head around the ground. No one's in there. You can come in this room. It was, it was unbelievable wouldn't it? It was.
Speaker 4 (18m 25s): And then they're we're in the locker room, they like, oh there's still a player here. So just everyone quickly keep going. He
Speaker 0 (18m 29s): His haircut. Who's
Speaker 4 (18m 30s): The barber? He's the like where is he?
Speaker 0 (18m 33s): He was, he was getting his haircut, wasn't he? Yeah. From the barber and then, yeah, it was just unbelievable. And then we went that night and watched Boston play and we were, went down to the water. That
Speaker 4 (18m 43s): Game
Speaker 0 (18m 43s): Was insane. I was very ill.
Speaker 4 (18m 45s): I You were asleep. I
Speaker 0 (18m 47s): Had a snooze. Yes, that's true. I did have a snooze, but the only reason I had a snooze was cause I wasn't Well yeah. And that, that started the whole, everyone on a mini bus or a big bus on the, I think Chris says it well he goes on the way down every 15 minutes someone coughed on the way back every 30 seconds someone coughed. Yeah. Like the whole thing was just like, that
Speaker 4 (19m 6s): Bus was
Speaker 0 (19m 6s): Ridiculous. Full of germs.
Speaker 4 (19m 7s): I'm just sitting there like I don't want breathe. Yeah.
Speaker 0 (19m 10s): Yeah. And that's when I, I got crook then and we went back to New York City and we had another game. We went to a hockey game. That was in Dallas. Yeah, we went, we went down to Dallas. And just to get you in the mood for Dallas Ready I, I set this up earlier. This is something for Chris STI who's a seven foot two X N B player who loves country and western music. Hang on. You ready? Hopefully everyone can hear this.
I don't think I can legally play anymore. But it's actually called Dick down in Dallas. And what it's about, every song in country western we learnt is either about someone getting shot, someone getting cheated on someone. It was just all these love songs. But then when you listen to the words,
Speaker 4 (20m 20s): The lyrics are so
Speaker 0 (20m 21s): Funny. These, these birds literally gone to every state and grabbed a different dude while she was in the state and then come back to a hubby and he's gone Nah, fuck you. So you later. Which was, which was very amusing. And but that, that song must have got played 300 times while we're in Dallas in the bus. Every time we get in the bus they put Dick down in Dallas on. Which was pretty funny. But I, I've been all over the states. Never been to Dallas. I have to say Dallas is one of the nicest and one of the best I could live there. Oh
Speaker 4 (20m 46s): So could hundred percent.
Speaker 0 (20m 47s): It was actually an amazing joint and we got to do some pretty amazing stuff there. Obviously with Chris as an ex Mav. We got to go backstage there as well in the training facility, which was really good. Yeah. And got to go, that's away from the the center. And then we got to see some good games we see in Dub. We saw Giannis again.
Speaker 4 (21m 5s): Giannis. Yeah. So we got see Giannis twice, which was cool. Yeah.
Speaker 0 (21m 8s): And we saw someone else.
Speaker 4 (21m 10s): Okay see
Speaker 0 (21m 10s): We did too. Yeah. We saw giddy play which was pretty cool. And then the best thing about this whole thing was everywhere we went, pugs got his face on the Megatron
Speaker 4 (21m 20s): Every
Speaker 0 (21m 20s): Game. Oh no. Just every game.
Speaker 4 (21m 22s): Just, yeah. I made sure of it. He
Speaker 0 (21m 24s): Is there in
Speaker 4 (21m 24s): Front of the right people. Everyone else is sitting there all quiet. I'm like
Speaker 0 (21m 27s): From night one he won a basketball in Brooklyn and got on their big megatron screen, the O KC game. He's actually got on the O KC website cause he's there in an o KC shirt in the middle of Dallas. Like the only
Speaker 4 (21m 39s): One representing Josh Ski.
Speaker 0 (21m 40s): And then he took it off and had his Dallas shirt underneath and then yeah, it was everywhere wasn't it? You got on
Speaker 4 (21m 46s): Oh Madison Square Garden. Garden got up on that one too. And
Speaker 0 (21m 49s): The thing there, the next day we went back and you got on again from the night before. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (21m 53s): It
Speaker 0 (21m 54s): Fun.
Speaker 4 (21m 54s): Excuse
Speaker 3 (21m 54s): Mate. Did he get any kiss cams or
Speaker 0 (21m 56s): Him
Speaker 4 (21m 56s): And I was hoping, I was hoping to.
Speaker 0 (21m 59s): Chris did. Chris was kissing himself. Hang on, we gotta you Hello pm It's my son Goodday mate. You're inviting yourself on the next trip card guy. Yeah mate. I would too sensational.
Speaker 4 (22m 11s): Definitely worth going sell. Sell a whole lot of your collection and go
Speaker 0 (22m 15s): Along. Thanks for sure. Josh Fanning joined my business pods watching Levi Casso one 15 others. So we got a few people on today, boys. Nice. So then in Dallas' we, we got to go to where the country guys are like, what was that called? Fort
Speaker 4 (22m 29s): Worth? Fort Worth. Oh that was a, the stockyards, the stock yards. That was so
Speaker 0 (22m 33s): Cool. And like into an old fashioned Dallas bar and stuff. That was good.
Speaker 4 (22m 38s): Yeah. The honky
Speaker 0 (22m 39s): Tonks. And then we went to a line dancing bar one night.
Speaker 4 (22m 41s): That was one of the highlights. It was, I don't even like that kind of stuff, but that was so cool.
Speaker 0 (22m 45s): But it was bizarre. So you're in this place and never everyone's line dancing. We're sitting there going, okay, this is interesting. And then all of a sudden they put hip-hop music and everyone gets up on the bar and dances.
Speaker 4 (22m 54s): What? Yeah, I've got like, check my vlogs and then you can see it all. It's amazing.
Speaker 0 (22m 58s): And then from there they have a live country and western band on, so everyone dances facing that way. But there's still this ring where they all line dance around. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (23m 7s): It's not like a dance floor. It's like a It's like a road. Yeah.
Speaker 0 (23m 9s): Got a racetrack,
Speaker 4 (23m 11s): Don't go round and round in unison and you're just sitting there like, what is this?
Speaker 0 (23m 14s): It was very bizarre. Yeah. So we, we left there on the 13th of
Speaker 4 (23m 19s): You got a highlight?
Speaker 0 (23m 20s): What was that?
Speaker 4 (23m 22s): We met Dirk.
Speaker 0 (23m 23s): Yeah, I'm getting
Speaker 4 (23m 24s): There. Oh, okay.
Speaker 0 (23m 25s): So we left it, was it the 13th December? Something like that.
Speaker 4 (23m 29s): Yeah. Sounds good.
Speaker 0 (23m 30s): Yeah, it was around that, that sort of date. And Chris and I then went down to LA and when we were in LA we met up with one of the coaches of the G League team and also the guys from Rdk who were based here on the Gold Coast. They got some really good access in there. And so we got to watch a GLE game. And so we're sitting there and we got Courtside tickets. We're sitting on the court and then Scotty Pippen walks in and sits next
Speaker 4 (23m 53s): To us.
Speaker 0 (23m 54s): What the fuck? Scotty Pippins walked in and next to us. And then it was just so bizarre. And it was like such a 12 year old boy. Like I'm sitting there going, do you smile? Do you shake his hand? Do you give him a fist pump? What do you do? I did nothing. I, I give him a night a couple of times. Stared at him probably for about an hour. And then the thing with the G league is there was about 200 people there watching it, but it was actually in the training facility for the Lakers. So the Lakers girls were sat behind us. So every time they hop up, they walk out and they do their Lakers girls thing.
They come back and sat behind us again. And so that was a really interest. So Chris
Speaker 4 (24m 30s): Is there, take
Speaker 0 (24m 31s): Your selfies. Oh yeah.
Speaker 4 (24m 32s): Yeah.
Speaker 0 (24m 33s): Why aren't you in 'em Chris. Oh, okay. And then the coach guy we knew said just hang around at the end of the game. So he like, okay cool. So we hung around and the other guy were with and she come and I'll show you a little bit around and we are expecting to go into like maybe the change rooms of the GLE team. Yeah, no, we went in and did the whole Lakers facility. So that's insane. I was in Jenny Bus's office. I took photos of all the trophies in Jenny Bus's office and we've gone around to all these different places and then he goes, hang on a minute. Sticky in. Yeah, come in here boys. We're in the Lakers change room.
Right. That's
Speaker 4 (25m 4s): So cool man.
Speaker 0 (25m 4s): So we walked up and it's like there's a, there's a hierarchy in the change room. So if you are there, if you're one of the big boys, you get a corner. Yeah. Cause you get more space. Yeah. LeBron gets two lockers and we took this photo, which we will put up on socials and stuff. We haven't done any there yet. And he's actually got two lockers. There must be 30 pairs of shoes there. Yeah. It was just unbelievable. And then the boys are all jumping in the ice pass from the G League team. We got to meet the coaches and we got to actually stand in the middle of the court where the Lakers trained. So I'm sitting there going to Chris like, what, how did this fucking happen?
Speaker 4 (25m 35s): Seriously, Celtics and Lakers, that's like, and Mavs like that's Yeah and Mavs like,
Speaker 0 (25m 39s): And Mavs. So we're sitting there going insane how the hell's this all happen? And then we're, we're going along and go, okay, what's your highlight of the trip? And we're sitting there. Wow. Like what is the highlighted trip? And then it's like, mate, there's only one highlight of this whole trip. We got to sit in a room for an hour and a half with
Speaker 4 (25m 57s): Dirk with this man right
Speaker 0 (25m 58s): Here. So Dirk Lewinsky come to visit. Cause he just happens to be Chrissy's good mate. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (26m 4s): As
Speaker 0 (26m 5s): You do.
Speaker 4 (26m 5s): You
Speaker 0 (26m 5s): Do. Yeah. So 38 blokes from the tour sat just in like a meeting room from a hotel. And they've gone, Chris has gone look at the start of the tour. Actually big thing was, you're gonna meet celebrities, you're gonna meet this. He goes, please don't ask for photos or autographs or any of that sort of stuff. The day before Dirk come, he said, actually everyone dirk's happy to sign one thing. Yeah. And happy to get a photo with everyone. And I was like, holy shit. So everyone's gone straight to Dick's Sports Warehouse bought Dirk shit. So we could actually get stuff signed. But someone I know happens to be sitting on my left already had a big pile of Dirk stuff.
Speaker 4 (26m 39s): Yeah. I brought it from who
Speaker 0 (26m 40s): That he had that he had with him. I
Speaker 4 (26m 42s): Had every, every player that will possibly seeing I had in
Speaker 0 (26m 45s): A box and pugs them. Yep. And so we sat there and one of the things that Pugs did really well was he actually went around this whole tour and he, he vlogged the whole thing and the boys loved it. So they then hired him. I wouldn't say hired him cause they didn't pay it. No.
Speaker 4 (26m 57s): Well Dirk signed a whole lot of cards for me. So they'll take that as payment.
Speaker 0 (27m 1s): They hired him to actually do some private behind the scenes stuff with Dirk. Do you wanna talk us through that?
Speaker 4 (27m 7s): Oh man, I,
Speaker 0 (27m 8s): Yeah. He would've been like a 12 year old girl as
Speaker 4 (27m 9s): Well. Oh yeah. I was like, I was, I was. Yeah I did. You're
Speaker 0 (27m 14s): Start to sound like
Speaker 4 (27m 17s): No, like I, oh he's amazing And he's real humble, like for one of the greatest players of all time. Like he's
Speaker 0 (27m 24s): The best thing he said in that whole speech. Right. He's sitting there and he is gonna look, I've never had a manager. He goes, I just always got max contract.
Speaker 4 (27m 33s): The thing is he got, he got offered like 85 million or something from both the Lakers and another team and he chose to stay with Dallas for like a quarter of that amount.
Speaker 0 (27m 42s): Yeah. 25. I think it was
Speaker 4 (27m 43s): Like that's insane. He didn't care about it. He just loved Dallas so much
Speaker 0 (27m 47s): And he's what done 21 years in
Speaker 4 (27m 50s): I only 2021 I think was Yeah. What he ended
Speaker 0 (27m 53s): On. But the other interesting, he loves tennis and so does Yancy. So you got these two big seven footers that play tennis against each other and it was like wow. It's just really bizarre isn't it? Yeah. But you got to see him more than we did. Like he spoke about all these and people asked him questions and he was unbelievable. And I'll tell you what, on Wednesday next week. Yep. In Melbourne, if you're in Melbourne, there's a couple of tickets left to an evening with Dirk. Definitely go. I know the stadium sold out for the, the camp in the day and the 18th I think it is.
Irv, Jan, Chris anty and the little birdie boys are putting on a Dirk evening in Sydney. Highly recommend it anywhere you are in Australia. Jump on an airplane, go down to that. It is, is just unbelievable. Like we've done Longly this year, last year. Giddy Dirk's one of the best by far. Oh yeah. Tell us what happened behind closed doors.
Speaker 4 (28m 43s): So, well when we, he was signed and everything. I had this signed, I also had my hat, which I was sitting on a, it's like a oversized card with a piece of jersey and it looks like a logo man. It's pretty cool. Oh
Speaker 0 (28m 54s): Is it a real cut?
Speaker 4 (28m 54s): Yeah, it's by Tops. So I had that. I also had a jersey which I bought from the NBA store in New York. Yeah. In advance cuz I was like, man, we're seeing di like what's the chances? So yeah, he just signed a bunch of stuff then. And then when we went behind closed doors, I had all these just sitting on the table with the P beside it cuz I was just like, oh yeah, if, if he wants. And he just went and sat at the table and was just signing while we're all just chatting about like what to do with the video and everything like that. So I was like, sweet. He's signing everything. And then, yeah, I just had the film like four or five different like commercial type things for Anthony to use on his For the tour.
Yeah. To use on his Instagrams and TikTok. I dunno if he does TikTok, but socials. And then, yeah, we just chatted and then I talked up about, tried to talk him him up to people about things that he could be doing possibly in the future. And then that was it. I didn't wanna say too much, but
Speaker 0 (29m 47s): Yeah, it's pretty special isn't it, when someone like that that you've always looked up to.
Speaker 4 (29m 51s): Yeah, well he's one of the
Speaker 0 (29m 53s): Greats that, but he just sat in the room and he's just a dude.
Speaker 4 (29m 55s): He's just one of the blokes. Like
Speaker 0 (29m 56s): I, I walked downstairs after it, everyone disbanded and he's still sit just sitting in the foyer out
Speaker 4 (30m 1s): In the
Speaker 0 (30m 1s): Lunch room and that stuff. And I've gone up and I said, are we what's going? He goes, mate, we're gonna go in about 20 minutes. I Yeah, no problem. I said, thanks again. Yeah, no worries. It was just, it's just Dirk,
Speaker 4 (30m 11s): But it's like, yeah. And he's just like one of the guys and then they were talking about, oh no, you know, pugs doesn't drink, blah blah blah. And then he's like, what? How do you, what do you do with yourself? It was just
Speaker 0 (30m 21s): Like good luck when when a legend takes the piss outta
Speaker 4 (30m 24s): Here. No, I had, I've had it in my whole life so it doesn't
Speaker 0 (30m 27s): Matter. That's
Speaker 4 (30m 28s): Fair enough. But yeah, no it was, yeah, that was a surreal experience, that's for sure.
Speaker 0 (30m 32s): So top three of the trip.
Speaker 4 (30m 34s): Oh, RER Park. Dirk for sure. And Jumbotron.
Speaker 0 (30m 39s): Jumbotron out every game.
Speaker 4 (30m 40s): Yeah, every game. And the, and the O KC website like thing. Facebook was
Speaker 0 (30m 45s): Pretty cool. I ate the best pizza I've ever eaten directly across from the Brooklyn net stadium. That was really nice.
Speaker 4 (30m 51s): That was actually a really nice pizza.
Speaker 0 (30m 53s): It was good, wasn't it? And then one night we went for a walk over Brooklyn Bridge and then down some fucking alleyway onto some rooftop bar to watch the sunset. Yep. And oh man,
Speaker 4 (31m 3s): There was so many
Speaker 0 (31m 4s): Good pilots. That was pretty cool. Just watching the sunset over Manhattan. So that was pretty good.
Speaker 4 (31m 8s): Even on our day off, I went on the ferry and went and saw the Statue of Liberty. Like there's so much stuff that was amazing. Like when you think about it,
Speaker 0 (31m 14s): Walk the high line. Yeah. But there's all the stuff and I'm not gonna give him more raps, but thanks so much to, to Chrissy and the guys, the putting on the tour, double salute Insti at Insti tours on Instagram. Jump on there. I know they've already got a thousand followers. They'll sell out really quickly.
Speaker 4 (31m 30s): I definitely get to March
Speaker 0 (31m 31s): One if it's this week. Jump on there and just mention that. That we got, we sent Jimmy Pugs. You may even get a discount on it. I know he was doing that for us. I'm not sure whether that's run out or not, but best money you'll ever spend on a basketball tour.
Speaker 4 (31m 44s): Most definitely.
Speaker 0 (31m 46s): So what else is going on? Ps?
Speaker 4 (31m 48s): Nothing. Trying to get back to regular life
Speaker 0 (31m 51s): Again. How was that? Just sort of come back and start grading.
Speaker 4 (31m 53s): Oh yeah, it was, that first week was tough. Like I was still, I was tired for like a good week. Yeah. Like I just had no energy. What's it? Because I didn't stop on the tour when, cause I was one of the people not
Speaker 0 (32m 5s): Really on holiday get sick. Yeah, you were, you were probably one of the only
Speaker 4 (32m 7s): Ones. Yeah, I didn't get sick so I made sure I was at every single thing. I was doing everything. I didn't wanna miss anything. I was always on like the tour buses and stuff cuz it was more fun just like chatting with everybody. But then when we had downtime, I was off riding bikes and doing all that kind of thing. So yeah, getting back was, and well, once we got back I had the, a Christmas family dinner the day after and then another one, like a full day one. So I didn't stop like, so having the Christmas break was actually pretty decent.
But then my wife's family was over from New Zealand, so this week has actually been my chill out, just sitting in the office. G grading,
Speaker 0 (32m 48s): Grading cards. Any good things coming through?
Speaker 4 (32m 50s): Yes. Oh, there's
Speaker 0 (32m 51s): Heaps. Is there? Yeah.
Speaker 4 (32m 53s): And they're grading really well, so.
Speaker 0 (32m 55s): Oh really?
Speaker 4 (32m 56s): I'm glad that people are protecting their cards.
Speaker 0 (32m 58s): Hold on. Keep it going. And what about you? What'd you do Jess? For Chrissy,
Speaker 3 (33m 1s): I just had my brother and his family come down. He just had a newborn kid.
Speaker 0 (33m 5s): They're an uncle.
Speaker 3 (33m 6s): I am, he's been, well he's six months old or something like that. Awesome. But yeah, they came down, cousin came over and we just had a little
Speaker 0 (33m 14s): Christmas. No family do,
Speaker 3 (33m 15s): We had a full cocktail list that my brother wrote down. We had made cocktails all day.
Speaker 0 (33m 21s): Nice. What was the best cocktail?
Speaker 3 (33m 24s): Well on there for me was the espresso martini, but,
Speaker 0 (33m 27s): Oh, can't think of
Speaker 3 (33m 28s): Anything worse. But there was what
Speaker 0 (33m 30s): We have weird, like I'm not a fan of espresso martini
Speaker 3 (33m 32s): Margaritas course. I
Speaker 0 (33m 33s): Love a
Speaker 3 (33m 34s): Margie.
Speaker 4 (33m 35s): You don't say
Speaker 3 (33m 37s): We had like a medori martini.
Speaker 0 (33m 41s): A medori martini. Yeah. Yeah. I reckon that's something that Ruby who's just walked in the room would like. What do you reckon? Rubs a medori? She'll give the go, she said.
Speaker 3 (33m 50s): But the, the good thing about the list is we had, there was one single James Bogues had been sitting in the fridge for years and we put it on the list and it is still there. Didn't get that, didn't get drunk.
Speaker 0 (34m 0s): But all the cocktails
Speaker 3 (34m 1s): Did. Everything else got drunk.
Speaker 0 (34m 2s): And did he, did he buy your present, your brother?
Speaker 3 (34m 5s): He did
Speaker 0 (34m 5s): Actually. Did he? What'd you get him?
Speaker 3 (34m 7s): I, I didn't get him anything. Oh, where'd he get you? He got me a, he got me a tarantula. Like a like real? No, no, A fake tarantula.
Speaker 0 (34m 17s): Well, don't bring it in the office cause Yeah,
Speaker 3 (34m 19s): No, there, there was a reason behind it cuz a couple weeks ago I had a, I was sitting in my room, a massive Huntsman just ran straight
Speaker 0 (34m 27s): At me. Oh fuck that. I would, I'd leave, I'd move out.
Speaker 3 (34m 29s): I'm all right with spiders. But he was like running at me and I was like, I was like, fuck. And I, I ran outside, grabbed a spray and started spraying and it started jumping at me.
Speaker 0 (34m 38s): Wow. I threw a thong
Speaker 3 (34m 40s): Kill, I ran away and I was like, no, he can have the room. He clearly, clearly wants the room more than I want the room so he
Speaker 0 (34m 48s): Can have the room. So you're now sleep on the
Speaker 3 (34m 49s): Lounge. Ah, my dad killed it.
Speaker 4 (34m 52s): Thanks. Dad. Sounded like a wolf spider.
Speaker 3 (34m 55s): It was a huntsman. So my brother bought me a massive tarantula. Fake.
Speaker 0 (34m 59s): You have to scare the other spider as well. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (35m 3s): Oh, he's
Speaker 0 (35m 3s): Caring. Oh, that's awesome. I had a great break. Turn my phone off. Nothing better. That's a good idea. Yeah. Didn't answer the phone to anyone. I was sick still after the tour for probably three and a half weeks. But other than that it's all back on the end. It's been a great break. PSG podcast is gonna come to you every week.

It's very sad news. He was a massive influence on anyone that loves football. I know you're a football fan. Yep.
Massive influence. I, I have a, a very good friend who I grew up with and we all grew up as, as brothers and sisters. Like his mom and dad were aunties and uncles, but they were just friends and he had the pleasure when he was 14 to actually make a side that then went to a P camp and p actually come and coached him at his camp. And he then yeah. Was just unbelievable. Like he went to this thing and the p just rocked up and, and it was a P camp, like Josh Giddy camp, but we went to, but it was p and and then he went on actually to coach Arsenal's youth league team.
He's now a school teacher down in na rumor down South coast. But, but yeah, no p was an influence on anyone. I never got a chance to meet him. I do have a p signed shirt, which I'm very proud of. Upstairs now. Yeah. Which will be put up on the wall and never sold. Unless someone offers me a lot of money, then maybe we can talk. But Yeah, no, it is very sad that, that we lost p i Very sad what happened in the Buffalo Bills came Oh yeah, yeah. Day before yesterday as well. So apparently that's the second time that's happened to him.
It's the same bloke. Yeah. Oh really? Yeah. Yeah. Very. I I think he's still alive. Yeah. Yeah. He's breathing. He was in intensive care and he's there. So all our, all our thoughts are are with everyone in that space. Pugs. I'm gonna send you a photo. Oh, can't wait. Thanks card. As long as you sign it. Bailey. Yeah. Put your signature on it though. Actually there's, or finish up with a funny story. We met so many blokes on this tour, right? And blokes said, we'll actually end up being mates with for life. Oh yeah. That was, that's the best part of it really. It was these two brothers that were on it and like me and my brother we're brothers.
We get on you and your brother, your brothers, you get on. Yeah, we get on. Yeah. But at the same time, you're different people. Right. And I know it's the same with everyone, right? You're different people. These two blokes are so different. It was unbelievable. Right. But he's like, he's gone with his business partner and, and his brother and they were having appall and like they're away, they're having appall and, and they were getting like, we go to a, we went to a couple of NFL games and they bought like sideline seats. Well that's, they doing the NBA games too. Nba, they were caught sat next to Luca and shit like that. That was crazy. Some big cash, right?
That was the two business partners and then the, the brothers there and stuff. I said, oh, so is it just the Tuia? And he goes, no, we'll get a sister as well. He goes, she's dirty ass cause she's a massive basketball fan and I've gone, oh, so and he goes, and I've told her, it's a bloke store, you're not coming. He goes, so what I'm gonna do, he goes, I'm gonna buy a Luca shirt and I'm gonna sign it Lulu and tell her, tell her that Lucas on. He goes, she'll never know. It's the easiest signature in the world to do. Oops. Sorry Champ. But sorry Dubbo.
It was so funny. I wasn't gonna name him. You just named him. I didn't mention their names. Dobos sister. Whoops. If you listen, it was very, very funny that that's how they, that's how I'm gonna go back to their sister and never let her know. So I thought that was very amusing. That's actually funny.
