whacked me on the opposital dinosaurs on the base of
your bloody skull. And it's so sore.

Speaker 3 (02:41):

we've also got a little quiz. We've also got a.

Speaker 2 (02:52):
Little quiz later that involves Tommy Starling and other friends
of the podcast.

Speaker 1 (02:56):
Stay tuned, and there's a nice little surprise that sit
right in the middle of the Tommys Starling, which I
think can be a feature of our podcast going forward
to let us know what you think when you listen
to it.

Speaker 4 (03:06):
So that's on the back stage episode.

Speaker 1 (03:09):
Yes, backstage and hey Jack, how good was our our course?
The timzu one. We had some amazing feedback on timsu
and got picked up by main event.

Speaker 3 (03:20):
Yeah, it's on the main event. So if you're yeah,
if you're looking at the the package to watch the
Fondura Timsuo fight, it's it's shown there on KO and
on main events usually good. Yeah, it's going, it's going
alright mate, it's going right everyone.

Speaker 2 (03:36):
Yeah, I know it seriously. Soon, you know, this is
all we'll be doing. Dad will give up his job
and we'll literally we'll just do one part of a
week and then that's it. The rest of the year
will live in the Maldives. That'd be offshore banking accounts
and plenty of not mal Dives.

Speaker 4 (03:51):
I think you're thinking about the Bahamas.

Speaker 1 (03:53):
The Canary Islands. That's where the Wolf of Wall Street
went right Bermuda.

Speaker 3 (03:57):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, goes missing.

Speaker 1 (03:59):
But you know they reckon the Canary Islands. Remember they
did that report where they're busting everyone where rich people, businessmen, actors,
musicians as well from all around the world were sending
things to the Canary Islands.

Speaker 4 (04:13):
Remember that that was a tax like money.

Speaker 1 (04:15):
Yeah, they send money. They put it into the Canary
Islands and bank accounts and it's like a holy they reckon. Honestly,
it's a building. It is just this tiny little building
that looks like a shanty.

Speaker 3 (04:28):
They reckon. So I've got to make that works on
super yachts. He's been doing it since we finished high school.
He comes back every now and then, but very rarely,
and he's able to switch his residencies. So he's like
a citizen of like these strange like countries in like
the Caribbean, there's these strange spots and they pay you

(04:51):
to buy land and then they give you a passport
as well, and then they're tax like. They not only
do they give you money, there's no tax, no tax
these if.

Speaker 2 (05:00):
You're a resident of That sounds too good to be true,
it does.

Speaker 3 (05:03):
It does sound too good, but it does ban you
from pretty much coming back to Australia, so he's got
to live over there for the rest of his life
pretty much.

Speaker 1 (05:09):
When we played in England, we trish. We had a
meeting with an accountant and said that oftentimes overseas people
will just leave the country without paying their tacks. And
he said to would you consider that and I said
no because I would like to come back into the
British again one day.

Speaker 3 (05:26):
And we and we're so like just quietly like and
we're going to get to it because we're.

Speaker 4 (05:29):
Looking over your shoulder too. That's just stressed because.

Speaker 3 (05:31):
I did a little bit of traveling over the weekend
birthday weekend. Jeeves.

Speaker 2 (05:33):
We live in an amazing spot Australia, jeez, we live
in an amazing spot. There's not many other countries better
than our own. Are you right breathing into that Mike
very heavily.

I was just watching you. Yeah, a mangles gore. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (05:48):
Europe at the moment running with bull and they're you know,
laying on various beaches throughout the world. Who's that every
second person?

I wouldn't rather be anywhere else.

Speaker 4 (06:05):
In the winter, like it's sunny, it's cold, that it's nice.
I love sunshine.

Speaker 2 (06:09):
An introductiony question today what did you want to be
when you grew up? When you when you were a kid,
what did you want to be when you grow up?
And for other people, what would you want them to
be or.

Speaker 4 (06:18):
Think they should be?

Speaker 1 (06:18):
I think they should be, Matthew, what do you When
I was growing up, I used to go to church
with my great grandmother Ma, and some of my this
sounds strange, some of my mentors were nuns who I
really liked this to be. So when I was growing up,
I wanted to be a priest.

Speaker 4 (06:33):
Yeah, well, I've got a nice match for you. That's
what I wanted to be.

Speaker 1 (06:38):
None. None, Yeah, we can sneak off to the confessional and.

Speaker 4 (06:43):
Know I did, because did anyone else do this? Well?
Girls listening, you would actually you jump up from school.
You dip it over the back of your head and
then it made it look like you had the habit on.
I did that, and then I'd fly off the lounge
because I also want to be the.

Speaker 1 (06:59):
Fly flying None. She goes, she's still alive.

Speaker 4 (07:02):
Sally Field, I believe.

Speaker 3 (07:03):
So.

Speaker 1 (07:03):
I like Sally Field. So she was in that movie
thirty for eighty for Brady thirty. Yeah, that's right, Brady.

Speaker 2 (07:10):
We used to do that the thing that you were saying,
You flick at irap like your number, but we do
it with do rags. Sulivalu taught me how to. We
had like these little hand towels that you use for
Jim when you're at the storm and because you'd have
to like see there's no ringworm on the benches and whatnot.
And he taught me how to tie it into a
do rag and yeah, I'm sure you have to use
a lot of times people, Yeah, when I go out,

(07:32):
and me surely until we'd go out, we'd all wear do
rags and share.

Speaker 1 (07:34):
I wore do rad last week, adopted my own rap
name six pack and mate. Other people, I've gone jack
pimp like Trustworthy and Tarf big Strong, so the guy Cooper,
I've gone Jigglow, I've gone prostitute and for me and
I've gone customer.

Speaker 3 (07:57):
There's a real theme there.

Speaker 1 (08:00):
I think you do really well, Trish out of it.
Who needs a little bit more folding tax? Three dollars?

Speaker 4 (08:05):
Oh yeah, I don't know. I think you've got tap
and go These days.

Speaker 1 (08:08):
You could be the neighborhood pro fantastic. Put the red
light in the front of the house, that'd be good.

Speaker 3 (08:13):
Why mine was rugby league player because I always want
to be a rugby league player.

Speaker 2 (08:17):
You never want to be anything else.

Speaker 3 (08:18):
No, I can't really think of anything else. I've really
wanted to be in my life, to be honestly, did
he ever say.

Speaker 2 (08:24):
Anything trish when he was a kid.

Speaker 3 (08:25):
No, not really, keep my cars close to a chest.
For Matthew, I went with a PT. I think that
would be a good personal trainer. A you're good for morale,
and you enjoy your training, and you're good with people.
You're good with people.

Speaker 2 (08:38):
Has some very obscure training exercises which he tries to
throw down people's throughout the years. Whenever boys would come
around here and off seasons to train in the gym,
or we'd come back after working with professional strength and
conditioners for twelve months at a time, Dad.

Speaker 3 (08:52):
Ago, don't worry about that exercise here.

Speaker 2 (08:53):
I read this one in a in an digest mental
health magazine the other day.

Speaker 3 (08:58):
Look at this, look out good at this for your shoulders.

Speaker 1 (09:00):
And then why don't you why don't you do a
video of me. I'll give people a tip right on
a training exercise.

Speaker 4 (09:08):
Because a female request for that before.

Speaker 1 (09:12):
A female athlete came in to trip Land once and
she walked in and she had the most amazing shoulders.
And I said to her, said, mate, your shoulders are awesome.
That's I said, how do you know? But the great mate,
you are like really strong shoulders, and she goes, I'll
share an exercise. No, I forget it was, but she was.
She started. She showed me pike shoulder presses. And the

(09:34):
good thing about it is that it's it's it's it
doesn't require weights and you can just do it anywhere.
So afterwards we'll do a video. We'll put it on
the TikTok if you want a chance.

Speaker 3 (09:47):
Well, the other day we were doing one of the
boys over training. We're doing a way to push ups
and putting ten ten kilos on. Then you try and
progress fifteen killers and then he comes over and goes,
what about this? Boys? How about this? And starts doing banded.
But what we're trying to do is we're trying to
find something to progress us. See, if you have the
band on copper, there's no change in weight class.

Speaker 1 (10:07):
I don't know if you realize this. There's three different
bands down there, different tensions.

Speaker 3 (10:12):
They are all very thin and.

Speaker 1 (10:14):
There's a big thick one out there. If you're doing.

Speaker 3 (10:18):
If that one you can pump out to cobber it
is that that is I've never seen anyone use that one.

Speaker 4 (10:25):
The attitude of Jack comes on.

Speaker 2 (10:28):
I see a challenge, is what I'm thinking.

Speaker 1 (10:31):
Well, let's do this video. I'm going to do the
pike shoulder press followed by the heavy band push ups,
and I guarantee I'll get out your form.

Speaker 3 (10:40):
Coppa is fucking horell. Let's have seen you do a
real chin up in you either either way, I'm trying
to throw both.

Speaker 2 (10:49):
That's all right, look at.

Speaker 1 (10:50):
This all this then yeah you can watch.

Speaker 2 (10:54):
Okay, so you're saying you can do ten with that
thick band, then push ups and Jack saying you can't.

Speaker 3 (10:59):
Yeah, yeah, I know, way he can do it with
that thick one. Yeah. And we're talking real form, right,
So this is the first time he's going to have
someone actually judge him, and I'll judge too. True, she
wouldn't know, respectful, and you look nervous. Cover you look nervous, excited, excited.

Speaker 2 (11:15):
The worst part was Jack said I'd be surprised if
anyone could do two, and then you came in with ten.
This is when you get ahead of yourself.

Speaker 1 (11:24):
I'm going to blow us all out of the water.

Speaker 3 (11:25):
Hopefully you do. Jack, did you have any jobs for
anyone else you Cooper had actor? I thought you I
think you can be a very good actor, very two faced,
one of the greatest bax stabbers, and at the same
time you can bullshit like nobody else.

Speaker 2 (11:40):
I revemb pretending to be someone not twenty six years.

Speaker 3 (11:44):
Very good and trush. I think you'd be a very
good nurse. And well, not for that reason. I thought
you get people out of hospital easy with you with
some of your small talk. Yeah, they'd want to be
a lot of people sit in there.

Speaker 2 (11:55):
They have a lot of issues with that, like old
people who are lonely, not wanting to leave hospital.

Speaker 3 (11:59):
That's so sad, and they'll fake like being sick.

Speaker 1 (12:05):
People will pull the plug pulls no more.

Speaker 4 (12:09):
Now. I had a thought the other day, what was
it about getting about getting my loved ones to visit
me if I'm when I make it to old age
and if I'm on my own, and if you don't
come and visit, I'm just going to start spending all
the money. What in hospitals will know? Well, I would

(12:29):
pay someone to take me out and about take me
on a cruise if my family cannot be stuffed to
come and visit me and care for me when I
have loved them with all my heart and hands, and
mind through my life. Then stuff them. They'll be left
with nothing.

Speaker 1 (12:43):
I'm not sure if you're in hospital in between, Kerosene'll
come and visit for a walk.

Speaker 4 (12:48):
Now I'm talking about if you're already lived.

Speaker 3 (12:49):
I think, I think, And you're in the hospital or
like in a retirement home, you mean respect. If we've
got your hospital retirement trus you ain't got access to
your card. We've chopped that things up and darling that
did you have any truth?

Speaker 4 (13:01):
I sure do well. I wanted to be a nun,
then I wanted to be a policeman, and then I
wanted to be a Formula one driver. Mum vetoed all
of them.

Speaker 1 (13:11):
God, none of them far fetched.

Speaker 4 (13:13):
None of them.

Speaker 3 (13:14):
I know, m.

Speaker 4 (13:17):
Cooper. I always thought you'd be a vet.

Speaker 2 (13:19):
Yeah, there was a period. I used to be obsessed
with animals and.

Speaker 4 (13:23):
They loved you. You just had a way with.

Speaker 2 (13:25):
Them that there's a joke down.

Speaker 3 (13:28):
I'm just not even going to go.

Speaker 2 (13:30):
If it was Jack, I would make it.

Speaker 4 (13:35):
I thought you'd be like Ei there, a very good
con man because you're quick on your feet, thinking and
make out lies, or a coach because you're good with people.
You're good with people and you have a good empathy
and you know how to deal with as well as.

Speaker 2 (13:49):
You could have been a coach after footy, but you
chose to take become an Australian icon instead.

Speaker 1 (13:54):
You could have done.

Speaker 4 (13:55):
If people know this story, Matt, that you almost were
the new.

Speaker 1 (13:59):
Castle coach, I don't know. I think they.

Speaker 4 (14:01):
I don't think you've ever told it.

Speaker 1 (14:03):
They gave me. They basically pretty much gave me the job,
didn't they.

Speaker 4 (14:09):
No, No, When Newcastle weren't going to sign him and
the city blew up, then they were like, what about
if you become the contry.

Speaker 1 (14:20):
We went and sat down and I had a discussion
and they went right out like how would you coach
the term? I ran through it all and they went
right and what they were going to do. They're going
to have me and it was going to end up
being myself and Michael Hagen sort of co coaching. They
said to me, mate, you've got yours. But then I went,
you know what, I've always wanted to go and play
regul League in England, so I'd love.

Speaker 3 (14:43):
To see the old universe out there and it'd be
there where you have been coaching for the last what
twenty five years. Jeez, I reckon you.

Speaker 1 (14:50):
Look worse for where maybe it wouldn't Maybe these fingers
I'd be like Liberaci, all the grand following system of fingers.

Speaker 2 (14:58):
How do you reckon you would have gone? Because if
have you taken that co coaching role, you'd have been
coaching your brother Andrew. How do you reckon you would
have gone coaching your brother?

Speaker 1 (15:05):
No problem at all.

Speaker 4 (15:07):
Joey was one of them. He wanted it.

Speaker 1 (15:09):
I did it like nothing. Understand like we were very
lucky when we came through a Newcastle. Our coach Malcolm
really just basically would give a lot of power to
the Playersly in the ninety seven Grand Final he went
back to England for ages. He like his mother and
father had really bad health issues and at the same
time a reserve great coach, the great Peter Sharp, got

(15:30):
pitched by Paramatta. So Malcolm going, well, you Blace know
how to do it just ways go.

Speaker 2 (15:35):
Yeah, right, that's pretty interesting. I didn't even know that
they offered you that. Was there any when you came
back you obviously made it Wigan. Then you came back
and played for Carnula and then retired.

Speaker 3 (15:44):
Was there any aspiration to then go to Newcastle say okay,
like I'm retired now, I'm ready for that, or you
would you sort of already surmanded yourself on the media, right.

Speaker 1 (15:53):
Yeah, I sort of. Well, to an extent, Coops one
of the biggest things, and I've had a couple of
times interest from New ca Us and not long after
retired there was a bit of interest there. But we'd
established ourselves in Sydney for a reason and that was
to do with YouTube blokes. Yeah, was working. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (16:14):
Well I'm glad because if Wayne Bennett couldn't have turned
him around, you know, like it would have been tough
for you, It would have been tough for us.

Speaker 2 (16:19):
Doing school out there. So thanks for not taking it.
Thanks doing characters like Trent the Flight, Stewart and Red Reagan.

Speaker 3 (16:25):
Yeah, imagine what would al the Sandals be doing if
if that Red d Reagan would have never have been
if you hadn't done Stephen the Manchold, No chance, I'm.

Speaker 4 (16:34):
Working on Redge making come back, you know.

Speaker 1 (16:35):
Albi Sandals, I don't know for it a very sensitive
world out there. We'll get to that in a minute.

Speaker 4 (16:40):
Yeah, can navigate it. Yeah, he's a wise man aged
his matured.

Speaker 1 (16:47):
Yeah, over years. I saw him the other day and
made his bigger bag never.

Speaker 2 (16:52):
Yeah, I saw him up there and it was important.

Speaker 4 (16:55):
Yeah, I'm sure you saw many versions of Ridge Hey
and Jacko. I was going to a psychologist.

Speaker 3 (17:01):
For himself something actually I did see. I did actually
look at it once and think, oh, that'd be interesting.
Phoenix Crossland's partner, me and Peden, who's Billy's daughter. I
went around of the house one day to pick up
Phoenix or something, and then she had all the books
and she's she's finished her psychology degree. And I looked
at some of the books and I thought myself, I
wonder if I could do this. You could, But it's
a long it's a long process. It's like it's like

(17:23):
eight years qualify.

Speaker 2 (17:25):
I reckon.

Speaker 3 (17:26):
I reckon, it'd be too you bring too much at
home with I reckon because the people just trauma dump
on you.

Speaker 1 (17:31):
I reckon. That'd be hard.

Speaker 3 (17:32):
Imagine coming home after seven hours of just listened to
everyone ship you know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (17:37):
Be hard to leave at home. There was one bloke
who was sort of on knew of a Newcastle that
went into psychology and he just become a different person.
Everything you said. He had analyzed. Remember once that I
once said to him, he listen, I was talking to
blah blah blah, sessnot and made He said in nag,
he sends his best. And he went right like that,

(17:59):
and I thought, that's ae response. And five minutes later goes,
can we just go back to your friend sending all
the best? Yeap? He goes, do you know that? What
you were saying then was Hey, I like you, You're okay.

Speaker 4 (18:14):
Did you turn around and say no?

Speaker 2 (18:15):
No?

Speaker 1 (18:15):
He goes, and you know the other reason he said
is we just drawn to each other because we've got
symmetrical faces. And I was just like, I've never heard
so much fucking bullshit in my life. I want my MEDICID.

Speaker 3 (18:29):
What I wanted to be as a kid was a
rock star. Always wanted to be a singer. Ye I
was a big fan of music.

Speaker 2 (18:34):
Loved acting as well, so Jack's quite close to it.
But I wanted to be a singer. Dad.

Speaker 3 (18:38):
I had you as a jockey obvious reasons, just the
right height and way.

Speaker 1 (18:42):
Well I get and good with the jockeys. Tommy Berry
shout out.

Speaker 3 (18:44):
Correct and I would have loved it to. I just
want to get to the jockey club. I want to
be invited one day.

Speaker 4 (18:48):
And the great grandfather was a jockey. He was, he
was the first.

Speaker 1 (18:53):
He wrote a book about Samuel Long when he was
the just about the first jockey I think to ride
two thousand winners in Australia, two thousand country tracks, Trish detective, I.

Speaker 4 (19:03):
Would have made an amazing That much.

Speaker 2 (19:05):
Gets past you, particularly when Dad tries to hide things
in his room and you find.

Speaker 3 (19:10):
Them straight away.

Speaker 1 (19:10):
Alcohol, money, Jack.

Speaker 2 (19:15):
You're a quiet, respectful kind of guy. I had sort
of two librarian. I feel like you'd be good at
disciplinear you know plenty of that stuff, or your only
other option is pervert, so you take your pick what
you'd like.

Speaker 3 (19:29):
But coming from the bloke wearing camouflage shorts, I like
those shorts.

Speaker 2 (19:33):
But you never see a perfect wearing camouflage exactly.

Speaker 3 (19:36):
You don't see them in their log. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (19:40):
Anyone got any personal stuff from through the week?

Speaker 4 (19:44):
Yeah? Can I start? How about our lovely surprise visit
from Matt and I lived with a fabulous girl Rochelle
from New Zealand years ago, thirty years ago, thirty five
years ago?

Speaker 1 (19:56):
Actually incredible?

Speaker 4 (19:57):
Yeah, And I get an Instagram message her from her
last week and she and her husband and kids all
came over. What a great not. Jack was very put out.
It's like, who is this person? I've never heard of
this person because you.

Speaker 3 (20:13):
Never mentioned have you ever heard this? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (20:15):
No, I didn't like it.

Speaker 4 (20:16):
I haven't seen this since nineteen ninety five in London.

Speaker 2 (20:19):
Yeah, but it seemed like they told their kids about
you guys, and you just refused to ever tell us
about them.

Speaker 4 (20:24):
They would talk to their kids. Their kids were nice kids.

Speaker 3 (20:29):
Sorry, can we can we talk about the old man?

Speaker 1 (20:32):
How good old man?

Speaker 4 (20:34):
He lovee.

Speaker 3 (20:35):
I want to explain to people now he the father
of the kids, Jamie. He was basically a blend of
Brandon Smith and Dad. If you put them in a
blender and blended them then roasted them up, that's what
you got.

Speaker 2 (20:49):
Correct.

Speaker 3 (20:49):
Are you calling him? I was calling Kiwi Maddie because
he was just the same thing.

Speaker 2 (20:55):
Now. Dad's like when Dad has a few drinks, he's
known to go up and hold the music. Now it
was almost a tug of war between Jamie and Dad
between like music music.

Speaker 3 (21:05):
They just go song for song for song.

Speaker 2 (21:07):
And like, obviously he's Kiwi, so a lot of his
tunes were from over in the island and Dad had
tried to bring it back to some Aussie or some English.

Speaker 1 (21:16):
She was playing with English music from that. I'm sorry
New Zealand music had Dave Doblin the Herbs playing on rotation.

Speaker 2 (21:22):
Yeah, but a lot of just both kind of didn't
cater for the crowd. You both hated for yourself and
he's got both got blind.

Speaker 1 (21:32):
And he's incredibly interesting guy, Jamie in the fact that
he's one of the leaders of the Mari community in
New Zealand in Auckland and saying where they live is
like an area which is I think is autonomous for
the Mari And he was actually saying at one point
they were actually having to talk to the government about
building the Warriors a new stadium right in the middle

(21:54):
of Auckland. Again, yeah, because he used to be no, no,
because it used to be because the sort of you
would say, is it the heart the heart of Auckland
Rugby League used to be Carlile Park and that's set
right in the middle of the city. And then they
built the big Ericson Stadium are the one It is
now out sort of out a little bit outside of

(22:17):
the city. It's a real shane. Back in the day
that these the great the stadium used to sit right
in the middle of the city or Townshill now that.

Speaker 2 (22:24):
Yeah, Townshill have got that, yeah right, Like it's like
a five minute walk from the town center. Yeah, it's
nothing worse than when you go if you go into
a place to watch a game, you got to jump
in a cabin. It's a like twenty.

Speaker 4 (22:34):
Minute drive out of the city's dragon.

Speaker 2 (22:36):
If you're a local, you want it. You want it nearby,
like Brookie Oval for Manly's good, Amy Park in Melbourne's
great Newcastle's good.

Speaker 3 (22:44):
You got McDonald jones. Not even necessarily close to home,
but close to an area where there's a lot going on,
high population population area and obviously it comes down to money,
right they need to buy land, which it's cheaper out.

Speaker 1 (22:56):
So the Cowboys original ground was a fair bit out heard.
It used to be a nightmare exit, well nightmare, but
you know you're in the middle of the city. You
have to drive fifteen twenty minutes out of town than back.

Speaker 3 (23:07):
Some corpse good like aus you're right.

Speaker 1 (23:10):
They do it and Amy Parks.

Speaker 3 (23:13):
Yeah, it's crazy two or an echo anyway, but let's.

Speaker 4 (23:18):
Get back to the fact that look, after all these years, yeah,
sure years, it was awesome. And their kids they're beautiful.

Speaker 2 (23:28):
Can I be honest, I feel there's not more to
this story. I'm happy you want me to jump in
like I feel.

Speaker 3 (23:32):
We got I feel the essence of it was great,
But I.

Speaker 2 (23:34):
Feel I was there that night. There's not much more
funny stuff that happened. So do you mind if I
take my person it was?

Speaker 3 (23:41):
It was?

Speaker 2 (23:41):
It was my special week, right, here's my special week,
twenty six of the best. Now, what I decided with
my birthday was I decided to go on a little
road trip with our little friend Harry Houdini, Harry Grant.
He finished Origin and they gave him about four days
off after they played the nights on Saturday, obviously to
recover and rest his little body. What a bludger, What
an absolute bludder of a bloke and somebody that we

(24:03):
put in a lot for his steak but not his
club team. So we decided we decided to I want
to pick him up Newcastle. After the game. We stayed
at one of our friends, Caylen Ponger's house. We stayed
there Saturday night.

Speaker 3 (24:16):
I bet you've got some mail.

Speaker 1 (24:17):
Okay, Well let's get down to business, Harry for a second.
What's going on with Kalyn? Come on and give us
the inside goss. He must have spoken about it. Come on,
you have you not heard she's been living under a rock?

Speaker 3 (24:32):
Dwayne Johnson By the way, apparently, Look, the reports that's
come out from one of the journals is that they've
contacted an agent who's looking overseas for a potential change
in Is it sport or is it this?

Speaker 1 (24:47):
Is? This is really really interesting. So what has happened
the Howdi's got involved with rugby union? Remember Mike Tindall
who we met at Magic Meams. He's married to Princess
am Anyway, the other day they go and I looked
at it the Origin game. Well he's out of his scouting,
he's because he's got involved. He's starting with the Saudis

(25:07):
this rebel union league called R three sixty. Soudy is
going to fund it. It's going to be like the
Live Gulf of rugby union. Wow. And they're saying they're
Audy trying to pinch rugby league players and.

Speaker 4 (25:18):
Kaalen I think that's why originally a union he was
a union player.

Speaker 2 (25:23):
He played at Churchy and Brisbane, which is like a schoolboy,
a big rugby union school. He played up there with
Brady Croft and jad and Seweer. They were all in
the back line. Actually, wow, Brodie craw the sting Jaden
Siwer inside tener kp fullback.

Speaker 3 (25:37):
Is there is there a possible conspiracy that Cooper John's
could be this New Zealand based agent.

Speaker 2 (25:42):
Yeah, yeah, Well that's why I was saying that me
and Harry are working together. We're both Kiwi from the
waist down, as we always say, Kiwe Maddie Kiewe. Maddie
was the agent and you're.

Speaker 3 (25:51):
The person working in between.

Speaker 2 (25:52):
Taylor correct, Well, I can't say too much, but what
I'm saying is P and G are going to be
very happy.

Speaker 1 (25:58):
Tax three dollars, tax three dollars. You know what Satsurban
the other day on satellite, Scotty Sadler, So you know,
there's a lot of conjecture about what's what's it going
to look like the town within the city. And he
showed me and it's like they call it like the
almost the rivi era of that part of the world.

Speaker 4 (26:14):
It's this.

Speaker 1 (26:17):
Amazing yacht club and they're going to build the town
right next to that, so it's.

Speaker 4 (26:21):
Going to make It'll be does he have something to
do with it?

Speaker 1 (26:25):
I don't know, true, I don't think so, but I
think he's got a few number of connections up there
that's it's really interesting. It to be very cool.

Speaker 2 (26:32):
Like for the look, it might not be a lot
of things. I've been over there and we stayed in,
like the compound where most teams who play over there are.
I think they're building their own separate whole, like almost
a community for the people who are going to live
over there. The families. I think they're going to have
their own sort of schooling and everything every other kids.
So yeah, it'd be pretty cool. It'd be an awesome
thing to be a part of, like particularly the first

(26:53):
year because P and G. If you haven't been over
there or league players haven't played over there, like, it
is so amazing to play over there, how much the
town and the country get around you. So it'd be
it'd be a life.

Speaker 3 (27:05):
Changing experience for somebody to go over there part of
the first NFL team a P and G.

Speaker 2 (27:08):
It'd be it'd be a bucket list type.

Speaker 1 (27:10):
Of thing you would like for players who signed with
that P and G side, they would be treated like
David Beckham. Yeah in Port Moresby P and G.

Speaker 3 (27:19):
Well, they're saying what they're saying, Wayne's like the league
candidate at the moment they've got it. They should definitely
get Adrian Lamb as an assistant. Yeah, like you know,
with his with his key he's sorry, he's the Ginion heritage.
Him and Locke may Locky be good there, you know,
if they could even like Marcus Baye who played at
the Storm.

Speaker 2 (27:37):
He's papping in the Gideon. He's one of the first
pappering the guinion players in rugby league. He's on the
board over there. I think they're trying to even potentially
get Juzzy justin Olam. Juston is mate when he goes
over there.

Speaker 3 (27:46):
He's a lord.

Speaker 2 (27:46):
We played over there together for the Falcons and he
shot out of the line once. He was my center,
and they kept trying to get at me for some reason.

Speaker 3 (27:52):
Don't know why.

Speaker 2 (27:52):
They try to make me make keats the tackles. I
dominated them all, but Juzzy came out side in one
time to protect me and flogged one of the ball
spat out like fifty meters. The whole crowd erupted for
Justin just because it was him after they were doing
all of us and Justin he denies that he ever
did this, but I was there.

Speaker 3 (28:08):
Watching him do it. He goes this is my house
and screamed it out.

Speaker 2 (28:15):
And he hates to bring it up because it's embarrassed.

Speaker 1 (28:17):
But Ladrian Lamb had a poker machine over there and
a smoke machine.

Speaker 4 (28:22):
That was while they were still playing the Rooster.

Speaker 1 (28:25):
I think the P and G last year they played
the Australian school boys side and it was a red
hot Australian school boy side and they drew them by
the the The P and G sort of junior side
the next year down and there was some mate there
were some brilliant players. So one thing about it is
the national sport there they'll reduce players.

Speaker 4 (28:43):
It's the population.

Speaker 1 (28:45):
I'm not sure it's really because a lot of the
population is up around in the Highlands.

Speaker 4 (28:53):
Actually census documentary, Future show.

Speaker 2 (28:57):
And then anyway, the next day after Newcastle we went
up to Port McQuary. We stayed for a few days
up there with Harry's dad's actually from New South Wales.
From Port McQuary El Pigo, and you know what, I
met his brother as well. His name's nicknames Keg. So
here's a Pig and Keg and then his pop, who's
obviously Pig and Keg's dad his nim's Bill. So we
stayed with Bill and Harry didn't even tell him we'll

(29:19):
come in. So yeah, obviously Bill. Bill's quite old, he
doesn't like get out much, so Harry was quite adamant
he was going to be there.

Speaker 3 (29:26):
We walked in the door. Bill sitting there watching the
footy on the sun.

Speaker 2 (29:28):
He go get a Cockheads. It's so funny.

Speaker 3 (29:33):
So all the Grants, it's like their own linger. They
all call each other cockhead. It's just like it's like
how we say good mate.

Speaker 2 (29:40):
Like they go cor d every year around Christmas time,
all the Grants, Harry and all his family from Upoi
and they all get down to Port McQuary and all
the boys go and play golf and they play for
the Cockhead Cup because all the cousins of that live
in Port too. So chout out to Scotti Grant who's
his cousin.

Speaker 1 (29:59):
And well the.

Speaker 2 (30:00):
Tadpole who's just he's not even related to him. He's
just one of their good man mates. They call him
the Tadpole. He's that small and he's the loudest place
you've ever heard in your life. We ran and played golf,
but they all get together and play the coup and
it's it's it was such a good time.

Speaker 1 (30:13):
On the Sunday Night show. If Melbourne play on a
Sunday and I'm going to I'm going to say mate.
They say on the show, who do you want to
cross too? On the mic, I want to say, get
Harry and you'll get on and say cock. It all
had to say that probably not show. Of course I
can't rule.

Speaker 2 (30:32):
But it was good to spend my birthday up there
with the Grants, who are like second family.

Speaker 1 (30:36):
That was Caln, by the way, just list Caln for
a second. How was he?

Speaker 2 (30:39):
He was good?

Speaker 3 (30:40):
Okay, he's on a he's on a walker at the
moment because of his Liz Frank.

Speaker 2 (30:44):
So he's done that so.

Speaker 3 (30:45):
He sounds like rhyming slang when he actually Frank it's
the A C L of the foot.

Speaker 2 (30:50):
So it's quite about horrific injury. He's had two.

Speaker 3 (30:53):
Now this is second.

Speaker 1 (30:54):
I walked in this, I walked in this morning in
the Cooper's bedroom and he was having to lose Frank.

Speaker 3 (30:58):
Yeah, you know what you're talking about.

Speaker 4 (31:01):
Not funny, mat to.

Speaker 2 (31:04):
Shout out to a lot of the listeners up in
Port and Newly over the weekend saw a lot of
potty listeners and a lot of people up there who
are invested in the career of Bruiser, who's obviously you've
seen the videos of a lot of his kickoff carries
back fence Bruiser. The amount of people in Port Macquarie
that are going, how's Bruiser going?

Speaker 3 (31:23):
Like, is it you've created him? Monster?

Speaker 2 (31:26):
Mate?

Speaker 3 (31:26):
What about We went to the Narrowena game about two
three weeks ago and as they're running out, we're sort
of going, yeah Bruiser and all the coaching staff and
trainers looked at us and went, you've created him on stuff? Yeah,
well the boys a reckon.

Speaker 2 (31:39):
He's practicing kickoffs after training, so he's practicing. He's run
after training, like while no one else is out in
the field, he's practicing's run ups, so he gets his
timing right.

Speaker 1 (31:48):
Shout out to him, Bruiser, handbreak on.

Speaker 3 (31:54):
We're working, We're slowly working at you can.

Speaker 4 (31:57):
I just say estimated about eleven point eight million. The
census is twenty twenty three calculation of Can I just say.

Speaker 1 (32:05):
I run into someone the other day who had this
fella had the most unusual accent. And oftentimes, you know,
people get there sometimes say, you know, I'll say, can
I just ask you where your heritage is? True? Case,
I shouldn't ask it. You want to be curious about it.

Speaker 3 (32:18):
Is that that's not offensive though?

Speaker 4 (32:20):
Is it? It's not? Some people do take offense and
they can now can I just say Some people can
get a little defensive of it, like a lot of
Uber drivers, for instance. You can just see there's that
moment where they don't know what your intention is. You know,
you see there might be some people who are a
bit nasty, racist.

Speaker 1 (32:38):
Or whatever, and what is my intention?

Speaker 4 (32:40):
Your intention is to like make conversation, kindly explore where
their heritage is, and usually you know some fact of it,
which then they get really engrossed.

Speaker 1 (32:49):
And so I might ask you, so where you're from,
you know, and I say, play a start, so we'll
talk for the next hour about the part start cree
back in the eighties.

Speaker 3 (32:58):
You're a wealth of knowledge geography.

Speaker 1 (33:00):
Thank you, I said, this was a really unusual accent,
and I said, oh, can I ask where you're from?
You said, Mongolia? So I thought to myself, do you
know what? Rather than I was thinking what can I
bring to the podcast? And I was like, do I
try to do a Mongolian accent? I thought, no, that could.

Speaker 4 (33:17):
Be What does it sound like?

Speaker 2 (33:18):
Yeah, he just said he didn't want to do it.

Speaker 1 (33:22):
Probably closest to Amandain, but it's got just a different
sort of different Twain to it. So top three, top
three accents gave you with the homework, go on going
with the Scottish sounds irish to Mesh.

Speaker 2 (33:38):
Yeah, Scottish is a bit more from the back of
the throne.

Speaker 4 (33:42):
I can't do it.

Speaker 2 (33:44):
Oh my god, it sounds like Billy Yello. I just
want to dance with the Bible.

Speaker 4 (33:48):
And I also love a frazi and accent because my
belaate is in thrashta. Everything she says it sounds nice.
Even if she's telling me that I had two days
to live, it still sounds nice because it's almost giving
me the worst news.

Speaker 3 (34:03):
But still shout out to Brad Parker, Brazil.

Speaker 4 (34:07):
You think that you the last cock cola in the
fridging not the last Coca Cola in the fridge, maybe.

Speaker 3 (34:13):
That it may be uncomfortable.

Speaker 4 (34:16):
That was a mind given to a friend of ours
when he thought he was a little bit too ship hot.

Speaker 1 (34:21):
The oh, I know who Portuguese accent.

Speaker 4 (34:25):
By the way, Brazilian is Portuguese.

Speaker 3 (34:28):
Well that's the language, Portuguese. Did you have another one
on that in the top two? Really, I've gone number
one French. I just think it's I think it's it
makes you sound like I've heard the Burgess boys. Their
mother is a taught French, so I've heard them go
from the Yorkshire accent through the French and it makes

(34:48):
them sound a lot more sophisticated. Wow, it gives you
an instant change. So it's a lot more.

Speaker 2 (34:54):
It just sounds very and how does it sound.

Speaker 3 (34:57):
I'm not going to go my second on Irish Irish accident,
and then I'm going third Italian.

Speaker 2 (35:07):
My number one after living with two coma Cametha for
a couple of years, Fijian.

Speaker 3 (35:11):
I love the Fijian.

Speaker 2 (35:14):
Well, look, it's a it's very tricky, but I will
say the line that was the most used line he
used to say all the time because we lived with
a couple of we live with the Kiwi family, and
they would always do Gina, who was the wife, would
always do the shopping and she'd always get two chocolate cake.
He'd eat chocolate cake probably once a week, a whole
wool worse chocolate cake. And he'd come up to the thing,

(35:36):
to the desk and to be there and me and
Harry like would go to eat someone's well in Niger,
chocolate cake only for chocolate man, always chocolate cake for
choking man. Second, and then I had the Irish. I
love the Irish mainly because of Brian Carney, your great mate.
He's got a great When you sit there and have

(35:57):
a beer with Brian, there's something very warm about the I.
It makes you feel very yeah, and it's also funny,
like you just.

Speaker 1 (36:04):
Laugh at yeah, that's right. I reckon Jamo went like
an irishman could tell the joke in a South Africa
and tell the same joke and you pissed yourself laughing
at the irishman and the South African girl.

Speaker 2 (36:15):
But by far my favorite accent is the Aussie bogan,
particularly the Grants. After spending four days with the Grants,
Keg and Bill and Harry, when just up there, just
going sitting down watching the TV, and he was going,
when you're actually were watching the Sunday footy and they
advertised your show at halftime. They went up next Sunday

(36:36):
Night with Matti John's and then Bill was sitting back
in his chair and he goes, hey, Ari, who is
his bloody?

Speaker 1 (36:45):
He's picked me right?

Speaker 2 (36:46):
Hey, I just it makes me laugh so hard. They accent.

Speaker 1 (36:50):
I've gone Glasweishan. It's like that next level. I've gone Liverpool.
Yeah yeah, so the Beatles give it to it Liverpool,
Yeah yeah, yeah, we're the Beatles with the Beatles. Yeah,
with the Beatles. Don't you know? Does not here we are? Well,

(37:10):
yeah we are.

Speaker 4 (37:12):
I've gotten for a night out too.

Speaker 2 (37:14):
If it sounds like what would sound if they made
a mosquito into a human, well it's off in Oasis song.

Speaker 1 (37:21):
So there's a song? Is it super song?

Speaker 3 (37:26):
Here?

Speaker 1 (37:27):
We were? Now here we are on this confusion? Nothing's
the same, is it? It's not super song? I forget anyway,
it's a number one. I've gone the Caribbean accent. I've gone,
you know, whether it be Jamaica or Trinidad and Tobago
that I remember growing up, growing up watching World Series
Cricket in the eighties and listening to guys like Tony
Cozier and later on Michael Holding commentate. It's just the best.

(37:50):
It's close between the Australians and the West Indians. It
is even Stevens.

Speaker 2 (37:55):
Past the gun er man man.

Speaker 3 (37:58):
Yeah, they are good the bass. Now, look, can I
quickly go to the Cooper's quiz because I do have
one that I'm very excited about.

Speaker 2 (38:06):
Okay, now, the new Rugby League game is coming out, right,
so the obviously the animated game. I'll PlayStation Xbox, all
that sort of whizz. I know you guys aren't to
across that stuff, but it's when this comes out. It
would have come out yesterday. So what what I've got
is friends of the podcast. I'm going to say who
they are, and you guys you got to guess what

(38:26):
you think their player rating.

Speaker 4 (38:27):
Is and what's the rating out of it's out of.

Speaker 3 (38:29):
A hundred, right, it's always kind of out of these
official These are the official ones. I got them from
the game. From the game. I got them early to
pull some strings. It's all right, I have to rememburse,
but okay, that's all you pull our man Tyrone Wishart
the Wishbone. What do you think he'd be rated out
of a hundred? Oh, closest gets a point. It's hard
off the like ability, not like flexibility. I'm going I'm

(38:54):
going eighty.

Speaker 2 (38:57):
Flexibility.

Speaker 1 (39:00):
I'll go seventy eighth eighty Yeah.

Speaker 4 (39:03):
I was going to do seventy eight too.

Speaker 2 (39:04):
So you can lost in the same if you want, Well,
guess what it's actually in between your seventy nine. Wow,
Tricia's dad got no wrap on Wishy.

Speaker 1 (39:14):
That's that's good.

Speaker 3 (39:15):
You guys are hard. That's good.

Speaker 1 (39:17):
If someone said what's this player like at a keen
and you went seven point eight, you go, man comparat
a right.

Speaker 2 (39:23):
What about one of Jack's good mates up in Newcastle,
Maddy Croker? Oh, Craig, what are you going to be?

Speaker 3 (39:28):
Rated five? I haven't had a good year sixty five.

Speaker 4 (39:33):
He hasn't had as many games, slay.

Speaker 3 (39:36):
Every game, every game, as many minutes.

Speaker 1 (39:38):
I'll say, Actually, I'll say seventy.

Speaker 3 (39:41):
Okay, Jack, I'm going seventy five. You would do that.

Speaker 4 (39:46):
I'm going to give him seventy four.

Speaker 3 (39:47):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (39:48):
Closest as Jack seventy six.

Speaker 3 (39:50):
Yeah, you guys have no rattle I do think them
having a tough year a right play that Dylan Lucas,
Jack's form a roommate's having a great year.

Speaker 1 (39:59):
Deal When did they put this?

Speaker 2 (40:01):
They made him this year?

Speaker 1 (40:02):
Yeh made him be interesting at which point before after
the hat trick? Okay, I don't want to make it.
I don't create a division between Croaks and Dial, But
the season Dill's had, I think he's on the sort
of the cusp of origin selection. If there was a
fourth game, I'm going to say, Dil, I'll say seventy seven.

Speaker 3 (40:17):
No, I'm going eighty three, eighty four.

Speaker 4 (40:19):

Speaker 2 (46:00):
They are very much like I think I haven't seen Nathan.
I think Nathan Clear is the heighthst you raded in.

Speaker 3 (46:06):
It, and I think I don't even think igon they
put it in ninety four.

Speaker 4 (46:10):
What was the highest we had amongst those?

Speaker 3 (46:13):
Was it nineteen ninety one.

Speaker 2 (46:15):
Some other people who were ninety one as well, Jerome Hughes,
Angus Crichton and Stephen Crichton, and there's a few others,
but they were interesting.

Speaker 1 (46:23):
Yeah, Film Fame and Vinyl today and I just want
to talk about this is going to be about sitcoms.
Your three favorite sitcoms of all time. The firstly discussion
where has the iconic sit gone gone to?

Speaker 4 (46:36):
It's gone because it's streaming and there's not weekly drops
of things anymore.

Speaker 1 (46:41):
Woke culture that people are scared to make comedies these days.

Speaker 4 (46:44):
Look at some of my tigh Yes, you know they've
got We've got.

Speaker 3 (46:49):
Yeah, it got like surface, Yeah, the reserved that they
pulled it back. It's hard to like who's judging what
is woke and what isn't?

Speaker 1 (46:56):
Like I don't get that the book burners, the work.

Speaker 4 (46:58):
People are making the comment and people and other people
in some form of power being reactionary and taking them off.

Speaker 1 (47:04):
It's ridiculous.

Speaker 4 (47:05):
Some people instead of just going look, it's part of culture,
it's part of his street there it is.

Speaker 1 (47:09):
Some people just see race and coloring everything.

Speaker 2 (47:13):
Look like there's been some bloody good sitcoms and they have,
Like when I was researching this, there's been some good
ones that have shaped a lot of my humor. And
I feel bad for the modern general. I mean, they
can always go back and watch it, but it's not
like you're sitting down in front of the TV and
Fox eight comes on. You start watching some of those
animated ones like Family Guy and those sils, right and

(47:34):
the Simpsons, Like a lot of the humor in that
was so funny, Oh my god, it's so brilliant funny.
And your kids now like they can go back and
watch on streaming service, but you're not going to watch
it really like it's very hard. They're not going to
be as funny. Like they're just not going to be
as funny as that.

Speaker 3 (47:50):
Gives you three, okay?

Speaker 2 (47:51):
Three.

Speaker 3 (47:52):
Number three was How I Met your Mother. I've always
been a big fan of.

Speaker 4 (47:55):
That, never got always were obsessed. It's interesting.

Speaker 3 (47:59):
I think it was.

Speaker 2 (48:00):
I think to us it was a little bit like
a lot of the ones back in your day, like
Sellinfield and whatnot.

Speaker 3 (48:04):
I found it very funny. Number two was The Office.

Speaker 1 (48:08):
Brilliant The Office.

Speaker 3 (48:09):
Yeah, the US offer Steve Carell one, there's only like
one season of that UK one. Have you watched them all?
Do you reckon?

Speaker 1 (48:20):
Yeah? Definitely. Ricky Gervas, Yeah, definitely.

Speaker 2 (48:22):
I'm a big fan. I like Ricky Gervais. If they
kept going, it would have been better. And he's a
funnier blake. But Steve Carell, the characters in that they're brilliant,
Like the storyline of it is so much fun.

Speaker 3 (48:32):
But he's so good, He's so like he does. Steve
Carell is just such a league above like most people
in TV. It doesn't surprise me that he went straight
from this show to doing movies again like he went
he was good. I don't think you give him a chance.

Speaker 2 (48:44):
And then number one, I couldn't split him. South Park
and Family Guy both animated, but they are particularly south
Park they are so brilliant like the people. I love
watching the behind the scenes of how they come up
with their content to grow and they're they're so quick
with how quickly they make it because they kind of
go along with the trends of the world. You know,

(49:04):
something happens with you know, in the world with Donald Trump.
The next week on South Park, they've got an episode
dedicated to it. Like they're so quick with it.

Speaker 3 (49:13):
They're brilliant.

Speaker 1 (49:14):
Seth MacFarlane, we had him a triple on once and
we're talking about and we always give people the Rod
Stewart story, which I won't be able to say it here,
but Seth MacFarlane we told him and he goes, oh
my god, I've heard that story. In fact, Family Gay
did a stol Wars a vision version and he said,
and we're lucked in a damp, wet cave and the
old man what's his name, Peter Peter Griffin goes, oh

(49:37):
my godness, like we're lasting Rod Stewart's stomach.

Speaker 2 (49:40):
Yeah, I remember the episode.

Speaker 3 (49:41):
I remember that. You know when the things are closed,
they're in the garbage disposal and they're getting that's when
they're fall into that thing.

Speaker 1 (49:48):
Did you get that joke back then?

Speaker 2 (49:50):
I did only because you had told us the Rod
Stuart story when we were thirteen.

Speaker 1 (49:54):
Yeah, okay, my am I three. I've gone extras. Richie Davais, Yeah,
that's good. That is brilliant. I've gone to the Goodies
growing up, Timbrook, Taylor Graham Garden, Bill Oddie Love the
Goodies Number ones, It's the Summers.

Speaker 2 (50:11):
Yeah, it's all time.

Speaker 3 (50:14):
Yeah. Angry Boys was also very good.

Speaker 1 (50:16):
That was Yeah, not too bad.

Speaker 3 (50:18):
That I've gone with my number My third is The Office,
my secondest Family Guy, but my number one is the
og is the Simpsons now. I think the Simpsons now
these days, but anyone modern that's watched any modern episodes,
they're fairly not woke, but they're way less edgy they
used to be back in the first ten seasons. You

(50:39):
go back and watching all those episodes, even as a kid.
There are things that I found funny that I didn't
understand that I look back on and go, fuck, that
was funny, brilliant. One of the great lions. Hiamusses lak.
Some people call me, hey, you and the bushes, those
little subtle things just so good.

Speaker 1 (50:54):
Yeah, Jack and the Simpsons. Cosby show was the number
one show in America for some like fifteen years, and
Family Guy, Family Guy beat it. I'm sorry, Simpsons beat it.
He removed it from number one. And Bill Cosby comes out,
this is true. He came out and goes, oh my god,
that that show is just a disgrace. It's not family viewing.

(51:14):
Our show is as our family show. And he going, wow,
history doesn't judge that comment.

Speaker 3 (51:19):
Well, I asked qrictly to who is your favorite Simpsons
character while we're in this segment, just quickly because mine?
You know who? Mine is low Key Reverend Lovejoy. No,
my low Key is comic book Guy. I find Comic
book Guy so funny. Just some of he is, just
some of the shitty little references he does, and how
he's just a hated character. Him and Hans Moulmond.

Speaker 1 (51:42):
I like his two mates, was it Lenny.

Speaker 2 (51:44):
And Carl LENNI works at the nuclear power plant with him.

Speaker 3 (51:48):
I always like groundskeeper Willie.

Speaker 2 (51:50):
Oh yeah, I mean I was always a big fan Sinister,
isn't he Yeah? I was always a big fan of
Bart too, Like I kind of saw myself in Bart
because I was the younger brother.

Speaker 1 (51:59):
Anyway, Yeah, friends, Camper will he reminds me of Dave
on the corner up here, but then takes the shirt off.

Speaker 4 (52:06):
Muscles.

Speaker 3 (52:09):
He doesn't listen, you might.

Speaker 4 (52:13):
I'm just going to go with a little Marge. Sorry
you're asking me what who my favorite since the Okay,
my Bronze. I went to Flight of the Concords.

Speaker 3 (52:24):
It's a good one.

Speaker 4 (52:26):
My Silver I went to Afterlife, Ricky Face and Gold.
I went with the Tie Seinfeld and Friends just because
of their longevity, their longevity and their quantity.

Speaker 1 (52:37):
Could never get into friends, never get into it.

Speaker 4 (52:41):
I still I can still watch French now, and that's
the rewatchability of those two is.

Speaker 1 (52:45):
I would have want none of those people as my friend.

Speaker 2 (52:47):
I like Joey. I'd be friends with Joey and Chandler.

Speaker 1 (52:50):
Yeah, yeah, Chandler.

Speaker 4 (52:51):
Maybe I don't think I could coote with Phoebe or Monica.

Speaker 3 (52:55):
Yeah, Monica, Phoebe, Rachel Ross. I definitely wouldn't be friends
with rosstologist.

Speaker 1 (53:00):
Whose darkheaded one that was in the Bruce Springstream film. Yeah, Monica.

Speaker 3 (53:10):
Just to finish too, I wanted to before he finish
his potty, I wanted to possibly just do a quick recap.
We haven't spoken about Trump and Elong's romance break up
for a while. I keep his updated on what the
current conspiracies are at the moment.

Speaker 2 (53:25):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (53:25):
These are three of the major conspiracies going around online
as to why people think they're they're beefing. One is
the Spaceport Space Force shutdown showdown. So obviously Elong has
space X, and then he's been helping Trump with the
launch of his Space Force, which has been like that
you know, that protector of whatever he's trying to do.

(53:45):
It's like something he's essentially called it a dome to
protect the US, the Golden Dome whatever.

Speaker 1 (53:53):
He's taking that off. Israel have the Golden Dome.

Speaker 3 (53:55):
And the apparently they're beefing over that because now he's
not taking he's sort of used Elong a bit. People
are saying that's, you know, now he doesn't need Elong
all that sort of stuff.

Speaker 1 (54:04):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (54:05):
The next one is pretty obvious, the Twitter backstabbing. It's
become like a bit of a like teenage two teenagers
beefing on social media, which is which is quite popular.
Another one is the twenty twenty four power play. People
are saying that Elong has referred to himself behind the
scenes as the Kingmaker, right, so essentially.

Speaker 2 (54:24):
He's power through Twitter and all.

Speaker 3 (54:26):
The other platforms that he's and positions he holds. Trump
isn't liking it because now he feels like Elong's claiming
that he's made Trump president and that he can do
it now to someone else. And now Trump's saying, oh,
I'm not liking this.

Speaker 2 (54:41):
I don't like it. Daddy. Don't like it. Daddy is
a state of mind. I'm your daddy, he's Audiotro Pedro.

Speaker 3 (54:52):
Yeah, Petro.

Speaker 4 (54:53):
That was it.

Speaker 1 (54:54):
That was three conspiracy. That was how good was How
good was Trump? How good was Trump? On the in
his dias for the World Club Challenge when Chelsea We're
up there and that the Chelsea players are sort of
looking at him and he's staying there just yep, and
he wouldn't get off the stage, and he starts doing that.

Speaker 2 (55:11):
The guy had become like scored him off.

Speaker 1 (55:13):
Yeah, so weird a recommendation.

Speaker 4 (55:16):
Sorry, true, No, No, I'm not going to give a recommendation.
I just had an idea for a little giveaway. There
is something new that I've added in the studio this week.
If you spot it first person to message me what
it is. I'll send it one of the backstage caps too. Okay,
I don't forget the last fifty on sale and then

(55:37):
they're out of my life.

Speaker 1 (55:37):
Okay. My recommendation if you're like in music I showed
Jack before, there's an old song by In Excess and
Ray Charles doing as a duo. I was trying to
find it. Check it out. It's called Please in Excess
and Ray Charles. If you get on TikTok and you
get on there. They actually do it live on David Letterman.
It is one of the best live performances I've ever.

Speaker 4 (55:57):
Seen, he said them to our group chat. I wasn't
that to it.

Speaker 1 (56:00):
