Here at two Good Sports.

We would like to acknowledge the traditional owners of the land on which we record this podcast.

There were, injurie.

People, this land was never seated.

Always was, always will be.

Dear listeners, we are coming in hot, and we are coming in laughing because.

Are we hinged?

Now?

Completely unhinged?

Because what a day, What a very very very very big day in a very very very very big week.

I'm Georgie Toney, and I'm as we all know.

You know, you guys have a lot of male sports fans that listen to your podcast, and I think we all know that if there's one thing that male sports fans want to see in their spaces and on their screens, it's.

More of me.

Have you tell me I've never related to something more in my life.

Taylor Swift is dropping an album and she chose to do it on the sports podcast that Isn't Ours, and I just feel like that's a personal attack.

It is a person attack, but you know what, I've taken it as an opportunity for future opportunity.

I mean, you have your finger in both camps.

You both have a Taylor Swift podcast with award winning and a sports podcast right, So you're like, babe, now that you've broken your podcast Jerry and have decided this is what you're doing.

Hello, Hello, the Van diagram, it's me, the ven diagram is.

But genuinely, I had and I'm not exaggerating, six different people message me asking about your welfare.

So how are you?

Because the thing about Taylor Swift is like, if you're a Rihanna fan, you'd be waiting in the desert hoping if Harry Styles will please drop an album.

He's dropping other things.

He's dropping vibrator, he's drinking, drinking your fency lip glosses amusing.

But you are in an oasis where the woman just writes while she's touring.

We get constantly fed, you do, and it's good because we are the hungriest of fans, so she can work her little ass off.

And I still did.

We've got the tour which she did.

Which she did and continues to do for her entire life, and I'm still like, excuse me?

Is this on day?

Where are you?

Where are you?

It's been at least a year, at least a year.

With nothing, and then the news this week, see you're next era.

I nia fainted right there, I.

Saw the footage also just for context, Dealstener George's wearing a Kansas City Swifts, right, that's right, because they exist.

Yeah, because this is this is this is the application for Taylor to come on too good Sports.

This is what we need.

I mean, it needs to happen.

Yeah, it has to happen.

It has to happen.

We need to have this as the thumbnail.

I mean, tay her awareness to laugh at herself about the fact that men the world over are like there Taylor Swift, and she's like, I don't care.

It's second to none.

It's second to none.

I mean, if we think back to the iconic album Reputation and the iconic music video for Look What You Made Me Do, and the iconic exit of that video where it's her and all of herselves, and it's like, look at her playing the victim again, like she's always always been able to.

Actually that's not true.

The first half of her career couldn't laugh at herself too much.

No, from then ever since has been able to laugh at herself and not take it too serious.

Because I think back to the super Bowl where she was on the screen and Eagles fans who Jason Kelce played for and was.

Originally Taylor's team.

She was an Eagles fan boot something.

It was really uncomfortable them up, lock them at my core.

I'm like, she's there supporting a boyfriend.

She doesn't call the networks and say put me on the screen four hundred times.

They're feeding you, and by you, I mean I'm looking at Georgie.

They're feeding the masses.

Feeding the Swifties.

So you can't blame a gal for rocking up and supporting a partner.

No.

And also those people that are doing probably have nieces, daughters, young boys who are huge Swifties who now watch football because they're trying to.

Get a glimpse of it.

And she's I mean, Travis Kelsey's a golden Retriever, not to be confused with the wide receiver because we know that he's a tight end.

There's so many sporting analogies that can really go into this.

Have you Georgie Tunney yet warmed to the idea of them as a couple.

No, George can't cop it because all of our exits have been brooding.

Music's muso, I should say.

And now she's like this one's too obvious, and.

They've been my favorite type.

But god, she looks happy.

Do you know what I mean?

She looks So that's what you say when you hate your friend's boyfriends.

Well, I'm so glad she's happy.

Yeah, so you hate him still when does the exit plan happen?

It's funny that you say that, because I am that friend, you know, when it's like your your best mate, she brings their new partner and it's like.

Oh my god, look at him.

Isn't he glittery?

And you're just trying to look anywhere else because the red flags.

Yep, yep, yep, yep.

I do think that it's wonderful that he loves her.

Okay, so that's our good sport.

Our good sport is the fac spot that Georgie is able to concentrate because right now there's something about boxes being unveiled and a countdown and she's on another sports podcast.

But we are bringing the attention back.

Yes, we're bringing it back.

We're bringing it back.

Most of people h it's taken us a while to mention this.

We have the AFL CEO on the podcast.

And on any other episode we lead with, but I think we can all agree there's just layers here.

There are there are layers as you are the layers, let's be honest.

But we love deals and we love that he's coming on because there's so much talk about with Snoop and also the afl W launching, so we'll be hitting him hard on those topics.

But Georgie, in the nature of actually having a good sport or a bad sport.

Yes, did you see the story this week about the crying baby at the tennis No?

So, oh my god, I haven't.

Emma Ratikado I love her, is playing Arenasablinka and there is a child crying.

They stopped play because she goes to the umpire and essentially says, it's been ten minutes.

Now hang on, let me just plays a click.

It's a child.

Do you want me to go send the child out of the stadium.

I mean not to be all archbarker about it, but get the baby out of tennis court.

The baby out of the And now I say this as a woman who has many sporting events that I'd love to go to, but I don't because I got two small kids and very few people I can handle them to, and I would handle at times to go to a nose open final, or to see Ammaronicadu taking on Arena Sabolenka.

Yes, if your child is making noise at a place where umpires go sh I welcome.

And we've had friends heroically take small children to sporting events the second they go meh, you need to run.

Yes at Olympic, speed out of that stadium, I fully, And the same with comedy shows.

I just think, no r space know your chapter.

Get a babysitter, yeap, don't know.

Well, I was so interested to have your take on this because you have the children.

So I'm glad that we're a line.

This is the one time, this is the one time a week I get to escape for me.

You're kidding me.

I love them, love them, They're great, but like to have no one have asked me for the last ten minutes because something's unreal.

I'm with you, I'm with you, and I do I feel for that person because you don't.

It's ten It must have been going forever.

But you imagine at the start of that be like, oh, they're going to settle, They're going to settle and just.

Say it's fine, it's fine.

No one's listening.

No, it's listening.

The reaction of the wider crowd.

Then when the umpire goes, do you want me to ask them to get rid of the baby, and the whole crowd went yes, Then you know that it's gone on for a wee bit too long.

And I have gone to the tennis with a mutual friend of ours and my little niece who has seen Raphael Nadar before her first birthday.

Well, let's think about that.

What a lucky child.

I was an angel.

It was an angel, and she was absolutely silent.

And I know mom and Mom the second there was a peep would have ran.

Oh, yes, run.

And this says not.

To be confused with children on flights.

Children on flights, if they're crying, the mummy is going through an existential crisis.

You're so different you can't vope the baby off the plane.

Different levels, but this in sport.

Do not take your child to sport where there can't be loud noises at any given point.

Yes, I'm with you, I'm with you, Champagne Poppin', we've done that in the crowd that gets hushed, That gets hushed.

Actually, if I had a rollie on my arm and I was pouring end on and I rolled the best weed because I got it going on.

I just wonder if they're the lyrics that we're going to see pregame at the AFL Entertainment Midday with your Crying Children videos coming up next.

Andrew Dylan, AFL CEO.

So many letters there, Andrew Dylon, Welcome to Too Good Sports.

Thank you for having me excited to be here.

We are absolutely thrilled that you are here.

And what a day.

What a day for you to join this.

Podcast because Tellswift announcing an album, but also because Snoop going to be performing at the AFL Grand Finals, such a huge get.

We've got to ask you for You are massive Snoop fan.

I'm a fan, more of a fan today than I was a couple of days ago.

But look, we're really excited to have someone like of his caliber.

He's performed at the super Bowl, performed at the Olympics and now he gets to perform on the biggest stage in Australian sports.

So we're pumped.

What's the process like of locking in an artist like Snoop?

How does it happen?

It's really it's more complicated than you'd think because there's so many potential artists you can talk to, and then their schedules are so you know, organized so far in advance, so you've got this long list of everyone who you want to talk to.

Then you filter it down pretty quickly and then find availability.

But when we found out that who was available, he was just like he shot straight to the top.

And then it's been a couple of months of negotiation, but we've been fingers crossed the whole.

Way snoop for our generation.

Like I think back to parties when we were fourteen or fifteen, when we thought we had a rollie on our arms, like all of these things that we were singing, And now I read some of the lyrics and I think I'm really glad I didn't know what they were when I was at that age.

Ye, are you going to be very heavy handed with the set list or to get any influence because it's not daytime.

Some of it that sort of created things well out of my wheelhouse.

But I think I've seen what he did at the Olympics, and he has got sort of family friendly versions of the songs, so I think we'll see a little bit of.

That you mentioned the Olympics.

He fully infiltrates and embraces sport.

He's the perfect selection if you're going to have both pop culture and sport because he immerses himself in it.

And we want to know, do you think we're any chance of getting him to do commentary because this is him at the Paris Games calling the steeple chase.

If I can just get an example here of his best efforts.

Dip repin run, slipping and hopefully naturally.

Get a part of him.

I want to come up behind him.

Certainly do play horses, I love it, and they run a slow but oh he's jumped on the top of the hurdle.

You can do that.

That was a cool trick, faked out when off the tippy tap.

I mean, if he thinks that the steeple chase is contact and exciting.

Can you imagine if we managed to get snoop with a mic just for the until the first goal on Grand Final Day?

Surely we need to put.

It to him.

I think we'll put it to him, but I think if it was anything close to that, it'd be pretty interesting as well.

Can you imagine just the reaction I mean, him watching one of the best marks potentially ever taken on Grand Final Day?

Like Snoop will melt down, he'll melt.

Down and more the point, I think he'd be keen.

Oh, he would totally be.

He's already been seen wearing different merch of clubs, right he's retweeted.

Yeah that's right.

Yeah, he's up there.

Look, he's getting up to speed with the game.

He's certainly aware of it.

He's got his share and he's practicing his handbles and his kicks, and I think, yeah, well he's really keen to come and you stay around and watch the game as well.

So we've already organized spots for him to watch, and so that was a big part of the negotiation.

Making sure it gets a sweet Yeah.

Yeah, I know you're a fan of Snoop.

What would Baby Dylan's number one act be if you if you took it out of it?

We're so we're so on board with Snoop.

We love.

We're not for the hundred thousand, we're for the one.

For the way were you wanting to perform because you already did mine, Robbie Williams, Oh yes.

And the fact that I got to meet him, I genuinely said to him, thank you for all the memories you gave my family and because we had all of seven minutes with him, and I was like, thank you for all you've done, and he was like, have we got a safety this woman?

Because and he was unbelievable.

But who would be your number one?

Well?

Given on maybe it's slightly older than you guys.

Yeah, if you could, I reckon bands of the caliber of like a U two or an ac dcity all the stars would be amazing.

But I'm not sure that you know they don't necessarily appeal to everyone, but that they're sort of like right where I'd like to go.

They sort of do.

I mean makes Dagger and Keith Richard would also love AFL love it as a product.

The other way, who I would love and they are playing at Marvel later this year is Oasis?

Oh come on come, I mean, I mean that's the crossover we dream of.

That would be amazing.

How much with Snoop?

Yeah, you're so right, You're so right.

That would be an interesting It would it would be an interesting.

Take now, Andrew, it may surprise you.

We do a lot of maths on this podcast.

We like to say we get the abacus out and we run some we run some numbers.

How much does an act like Snoop?

How much does that cost?

Look, it's a it's an investment, it's worth making and I think we know you get returns on everything that you put investment into.

And we've already seen this year, just with the announcement the other day, the unbelievable Richard's had via social media and the like.

And the pleasing thing about it is most of the you know, the people who've come and looked at have been not through the traditional AFL channels.

It's been amazing.

So we're thinking that we will have more people watching the pregame than we've ever had before just because of the way that he crosses the generation.

So would you say it's over or unders what Harley Reed will earn in a year of his next contract.

Not a bad comparison because.

It's a sliding scale and no one really knows what it is.

It's a bit of a save, I know.

But we absolutely love Snoop.

We're hoping we're going to see him in commentary.

But we'd argue that it's almost the most exciting thing that's happening in sport this week because it's up there the top.

It's up there.

I'll see you at the W.

We've got the launch of the AFLW heading into its tenth season and it is just going from strength to strength.

Tell us a little bit about what fans can get excited about seeing this season.

Look, I think I'm really excited to see the evolution of the game and the players, and knowing I've got three daughters and my youngest one he's nineteen.

And so some of the girls or the players that have been drafted this year she's played with and against over her you know, she wasn't that good.

But she pays she admired them for far she did.

And I saw some of them play and just knowing how good they were when they were twelve or thirteen, and then they're the ones that have made it through.

I can just in there the caliber of player that are coming through.

So there's a girl who will be playing a first game for Melbourne on Saturday night called Maggie Marney who Chloe went to school with, and she as an eleven year old.

She was the best female player I've ever seen because she's just too and she's just just an absolute genuine footballer.

And then they used to play against a girl called Sienna Taleriti who's at Geelong, and she is I've never seen anyone dominate matches boy or girl like her so and they weren't even top ten draft picks.

So the caliber of the athlete that's coming through is amazing.

And I know that as CenTra will be playing tonight, you know, first game named in the middle for Collingwood.

Amazing.

And then there's they're calling her, supposedly as I was listening to SCN, the Caitlyn Clark effect.

They're basically saying, this girl is that good.

And what they're saying at Collingwood about her coming into the system is that she could have an effect on AFL globally to the effect of Caate and Clark.

And these are Tim Watson doesn't miss his words with these.

And then there's another player at the goal coast, Havana Harris as well, who would be someone to watch out for.

So created in a lab.

Like the alliteration.

But I do love this because I think and you and I would have known growing up, oz Kick wasn't really There was no girls I really saw playing oz Kick, even though I was around a footy club every weekend of my life.

But now this is the talents that have just pursued the whole way.

Through personally for you, Andrew, because you have three girls, you know, and you know, differing talent levels when it comes to footy, but it wouldn't have been a legitimate career path for them.

One of my nieces, she was I was talking to her last night and she said, I'm genuinely wanting to.

Maybe give footy a go.

She's thirteen and it just makes me so happy because we didn't get that.

How does it make you feel personally that we're.

At this stage.

I think it's just having the options and like I mean, I played a lot of community footy and no higher than that, but amazing three girls.

But one of the things I thought I was, I'll never be involved in community footy again.

That was my mindset because girls and women just didn't play out the in the numbers that they are now, and so when the opportunity came and the girls did start playing, it was awesome.

So they don't play anymore, but they're still involved and they've got a feeling for the game now that say, my wife Amanda wouldn't have because she didn't play.

So I think it's it's really good for the game for you know, not just for now, but for future generations.

I reckon your wife, a mana who's delightful by the way, I'm the privilege of sitting next to an event.

Was like, she's awesome.

I need to befriend her.

But you do.

The AFL has expanded really quickly, and it's wonderful for the equality that every club now has an AFLW team, So if you support the men's, you can support the women's.

But as you said, there's all this amazing talent coming through now to bolster the skill set that we're seeing, which is just really exciting.

But what is the biggest challenge in your mind facing the W and how can we as fans support it?

Well, I think part of it and I was just talking today.

We've got an incredible lineup today, cart and v Collingwood had icon a beautiful day, so there's sort of no excuses.

So I'm just hoping that what I want is people to get to the games and see it live.

And just because they might have dipped their tearing the water team.

You know, it's season one and it was amazing season one, but just to see as I said, the evolution of the girls coming in, but also players like say Ruby Schleischer, who's now been in the system for ten seasons and all those pre seasons under her belt, and that the way she's evolved as players.

So I think going there, we're having the games that attendance friendly timeslots, so we want people to go experience the game.

Oh, I love an attendance friendly time.

I struggle.

I struggle to keep awake at the end of the footy game now, which is terrible, but young kids that will do it, and Ruby who's also sensational in commentary too.

Exactly, So we want people to come and follow the game.

And then and I think if we see that, then we'll have more people watching it on TV.

It'll then become even more commercially sustainable.

And then and then it just keeps you flowing on and then we get more girls wanting to play, and then the athletes become better and yeah, that's that's the way we go.

And then we continue to invest in the facility so that the fans who are coming to the games are getting the experience that they want.

Well, Andrew Dyllan, we so appreciate you joining us.

We know that this is the busiest time of the year.

We've got the launch of the W forty finals are coming up.

Are you prepared to never sleep again?

It's a big couple of weeks, so we've got the full round of AFLW, some incredible AFL Men's games, yes, VFL finals coming, Coach League.

It's all happening.

So it's an exciting time of the year.

Everyone likes playing footy in August and September.

It is all happening.

And I'm sure you weren't expecting this question today, but given you do have three daughters, are any of them swifties?

Not really?

Oh my god.

Get the security team.

It's going to lead them to campaign to get Taylor.

Yes, we do.

Twenty twenty six, Yeah, yeah, we've made al We've got Snoop this year.

I mean, just so you know, Andrew Taylor's releasing a new album.

We're not sure when yet, but hopefully we'll have more details very very soon.

And so if that's the case, I'm I'm just spitfalling.

Twenty twenty six, she comes in, Well.

I mean, the girls can sniffer trends, Andrew.

There we go, confirmed, confirmed, and also Snoop Dogg commentating it's been a really productive chat.

We've solved everything.

Thank you so much for your time and enjoy the rest of the seasons.

Thanks having me on and we will see you at the w massive massive time.

We're excited.

Andrew Dyllon just delightful.

Always been affair you really have, You've always enjoyed him.

He's great.

Well, he's one of those.

He's very genuine, he's very genuine, always remembers your name, always comes up and says hello, like there's an earnestness and also a lack of ego.

Yes, which is very rare, very rare spaces in.

That space, I think.

And he's just he's just a good guy.

And also like, how can you have three daughters and not one of them be as swifty?

Oh, I just feel like that's going against the grain of the population.

Yeah, something's going to ry there.

But it's okay because now we've introduced him to too good sports and this space a safe space where you can air random information like that and then you.

Can rectify it.

So Dylan, girls, just hit me up, hit me up for an education, do.

Me to air something random when we're talking about Yeah, a fun fact it's not very fun, kind of weird and fact though it is a fact.

I interviewd Kiss ahead of them being the pre show entertainment for the twenty twenty four AFL Grand Farty.

Yeah okay, and they sniffed my hair.

What do you mean?

As in, I was in a photo op and they leant forward and sniffed, lifted my hair with one of their hands and sniffed it, sniffed it.

So sorry the actual visual dear listeners, just imagine just actually get your own hair, get your own hair and take your hand.

Look at that.

That's so confronting someone taking your hair.

But also just put yourself in a professional space.

Yeah.

So you're trying to do your job.

Yeah yeah, and someone comes and.

Jeane Simmons sniffs your hair.

You know what it's giving, it's giving what's he called, Hannibal Lecter.

Oh that's where that's where my head's gone.

But it was Jean.

It was one of the more deeply uncomfortable because you know kids, right, like, you know what the reputation is.

You know that, like you know that's what it's going to be.

And that's their stick.

But there's there's times where you think that that is just stick.

No, no, no, no.

That's wild.

Oh and joked what did you do?

And this was all in the press conference, so it went to air somewhere, but they joked that Australian women had always opened their legs for them while on the mic.

And I'm there being like ha ha ha, sport, sport.

Let's focus on the game that you're here for.

So on return, my head was so supremely uncomfortable.

It's awful.

It's awful.

And again twenty twenty four.

Yeah, so that's no.

Twenty twenty three must have been.

Twenty twenty three, because we're in I keep thinking you were in twenty twenty six.

Yes, so it was twenty twenty three because Katy Perry missed Katy Perry because I was with child.

I miss Katy Perry too when she was doing the whatever she was doing last year.

I missed that.

Oh no, I was at the Grand Final.

She was great at the actual Granny And it's a very difficult arena.

Yes, Robbie absolutely nailed it.

Because it's not designed for you and it's daytime.

You don't realize how much lights and those sort of theatrics actually affect how much you can engage and a lot of people aren't there for you.

So Robbie was your perfect cross section.

Yes, everyone knows the song.

Everyone knows the songs, and he has the self awareness enough.

He's sung something from his new album and he's like, I know you don't like it, but I'll get back to the classics after this.

One literally said it on the mic.

It stunning.

See that's what you need.

What I will say about Snoop if we returned to the news about this year's Grand Final is that he is a showman, so it's just a different show.

Yeah, I do.

It's a different show.

I do wonder if you don't know Snoop.

He doesn't have like his movements aren't gonna sell you.

No, No, there's no dancing that gets you across the line.

I love it.

I'm here, but it has an energy.

I'm here for it too.

Cameos will eminem just pop up if.

That happens and they do shake that joke, don't are you asked our bloody become.

I'll run the field, will.

No dread will be safe?

I will be there.

I love I love that song so much, little twelve year old maybe and like shake that.

It's questionable.

Now all of his lyrics are questionable, which is why I question, like, how are we gonna as hasn't he been to jail?

I think maybe?

But maybe aren't out?

No longer?

Wasn't that where he befriended Martha Stewart?

Oh my god, I forgot about their Relationshi.

I love their friendship.

I love it so so do I.

It's the best.

This is a great call.

It's a great call.

Well done ofl well done.

Who's the NRL gut do we know yet?

I don't know?

That's on you?

You can you know?

Aaron has a thought.

You know what?

Now now that we've had deals, we've got to get pvl Oh, we're gonna.

Get Peter of Landy's on this, Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yes, guy's a limit we've I mean, think of the names we've got.

She knows what she's doing until next week.

You could sport
