Speaker 1 (00:00):
The MCG is a perfect venue for NFL, according to
the NFL architect.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
Is it the shape of the field?

Speaker 1 (00:08):
Well, there's a problem with that. The field is not
perfectly central for the game of NFL, but he likes it.
And he said maybe it needs some more LED lighting
and maybe some bigger screens.

Speaker 3 (00:19):
And also, I hope they're good with the snacks and
things because it's very easy to get a Something to
eat and something to drink.

Speaker 1 (00:25):
You know, one of my fondest memories, my Uncle David
taking me to the MCG to watch Carlton take Richmond on.
And he just gave me a big, hot 4 and
20 pie. Yeah. And I was just sitting there eating it.

Speaker 2 (00:37):
A pie at the footy. Is there anything better?

Speaker 1 (00:39):
It just takes me back.

Speaker 3 (00:41):
This is what I was saying earlier. This will be
the biggest crowd ever to watch an NFL game.

Speaker 1 (00:45):
100,000 people.

Speaker 2 (00:45):
100,000 people.

Speaker 3 (00:46):
The American stadiums aren't as big, except weirdly the college
stadiums are. But the professional NFL level, this will be
the biggest live crowd.

Speaker 2 (00:55):
Ever to witness one. But can I ask you this question?

Speaker 1 (00:58):
Yes, ma'am.

Speaker 2 (00:58):
One of the teams has been here for a whole week.

Speaker 4 (01:00):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (01:00):
One team has arrived today. How do they acclimatise?

Speaker 1 (01:04):
That's what they're testing. The 49ers have been here for
a week and the Rams have just arrived this morning. Yeah,
how are they going to acclimatise? Because this is their
first game of the season.

Speaker 3 (01:13):
This isn't a demonstration match. This is an actual game
of the season. They've outsourced a couple of them around
the world.

Speaker 1 (01:18):
So what they're banking on is they come here today,
the Rams, and then they leave. get back to the
States so they can play next week. But as you
and I both know, when you travel overseas, it's easy
when you come here, but when you go over there,
I remember going to LA, it felt like I slept
for about three days.

Speaker 3 (01:36):
But at the same time, the first team who've been
here for a week, aren't they going to be better
off than the team that just arrived?

Speaker 1 (01:43):
Don't know. Don't know. I do know this. There's tickets
available if you would like to go.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
I thought it was a sellout.

Speaker 1 (01:50):
It is a sellout, but there's a, Gemma, Raya and
I have just been doing some Googling. Yeah, there's some
verified resale tickets. So that's if someone can't go to
the game all of a sudden.

Speaker 2 (02:00):
So they're verified. They're not scalped and whatever.

Speaker 1 (02:02):
Yeah. This is on Ticketmaster. So if we want to go.
Let's go. We should go. Before the show tomorrow, let's go.
How much? Because it's in the morning.

Speaker 2 (02:08):
We can go.

Speaker 4 (02:09):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (02:09):
So the average resale ticket, it's about $ 693 a ticket. Wow.

Speaker 3 (02:17):
So your shout, Janesy. Wow.

Speaker 2 (02:19):
That's the average ticket and it is a sellout.

Speaker 4 (02:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:22):
That's pretty good.

Speaker 2 (02:22):
Wow, that is very good.

Speaker 1 (02:24):
That's pretty good. They're loving the country so far. Christian
McAfee is loving the coffee. He's from the 49ers. It's
been great. Yeah, the coffee's unbelievable.

Speaker 2 (02:33):
I don't know why nobody talked about that as much
as they should have beforehand.

Speaker 1 (02:38):
Way to go. Because we love the cultural cringe, don't we?
You love us. You really love us.

Speaker 2 (02:43):
Yeah, I know. We do need, we ask everyone how
they feel about us.

Speaker 1 (02:47):
The coach, Kyle, this is from the 49ers as well,
Kyle Shanahan, He's just confused.

Speaker 4 (02:52):
When I look at my clock and it says the time,
and then I try to see my family's time, and
it says the time, but it says yesterday. I don't
even get how that's possible. So I feel like I'm
in the future. And then also when we play on
our Friday, which I think is a Thursday in the U.S.,
we're such creatures of habit. So I call today Tuesday. No, wait. Sorry,
I call today Wednesday, which is the first day we
put in a game plan. But I think it's Monday. However, though,

(03:13):
it's Sunday in the present.

Speaker 3 (03:15):
Have a little rest.

Speaker 1 (03:15):
I think they might have to put Life 360 on it.

Speaker 3 (03:18):
But, you know, Australians are such big travellers that we
know all this stuff.

Speaker 2 (03:22):
When people come here, they don't know as much.

Speaker 1 (03:24):
They don't know that.

Speaker 2 (03:25):
Whereas we're used to that stuff. We know.

Speaker 1 (03:27):
Nick Bosser from the 49ers, he's just happy to be here. Ah,
not really.

Speaker 4 (03:32):
I don't know much about Australia, to be honest. I
heard they have good coffee, so I'll try and take
advantage of that and have some good coffee.

Speaker 3 (03:43):
I think there's some nature.

Speaker 1 (03:45):
There's some nature? Yeah.

Speaker 2 (03:47):
Well, he's read up.

Speaker 1 (03:48):
There's some nature.

Speaker 2 (03:48):
There is some nature.

Speaker 4 (03:49):
He's right.

Speaker 1 (03:50):
We've got plenty of nature, human and otherwise.

Speaker 2 (03:54):
Do you think he'll meet human nature?

Speaker 1 (03:55):
Imagine if he met human nature.

Speaker 2 (03:57):
That would really blow his mind.

Speaker 1 (03:59):
Keep away from Phil. Who are holding a coffee. He's
quite venomous.

Speaker 2 (04:03):
Don't confuse him with the time.

Speaker 1 (04:04):
This is something, though, I reckon the tribal drum might
beat for on a few things when we travel around
the world.

Speaker 3 (04:09):
Yeah, because I know that I've said Australians are generally
good travellers. Having said that, you can surprise yourself with
your own stupidity.

Speaker 1 (04:16):
We'll talk about that next on Galt.
