Speaker 4I've actually looked into it working in parts.

Speaker 5You You don't get uvs from Tino screens.
It is the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
That's like saying, sit in front of your TV and you get some burnt well.
Speaker 3The fact that you've responded to that show you the level of your intelligence.
Speaker 1No, I think he is.
I like his argument.
Speaker 5Thank you from you.
Speaker 1We're getting study.
Speaker 6Yeah.
Speaker 5Ye, all girls and boys, Merry Christmas, Ladies in general.
Speaker 1Merry Christmas, drive safely primarily everyone doriage.
Oh it's the least you know, what doesn't matter if you like, just take your time to get there.
Let's start with the worst Christmas song, because this was something we heard traveling through Ireland, very entertaining DJ.
Speaker 3This bloke goes, well, Merry Christmas too, You're going to play all the Christmas cheer and all the songs, but there is one song I won't be playing.
And he goes, remember the band Good Charlotte, And I go, oh no, I've got the good and good guys and you know, good music, and he goes, have a listen to this.
I never They did a cover of Fairy Tales New York and punk version of fairy Tales New York, which didn't sound it's horrific, and the guy's going can you believe it?
Anyway, they go and the boys are the n y PD choir still singing Galway Bay, and he.
Speaker 7Goes, he goes Galway Bay, gal Baby, Yeah, tosses it's away Bay and then it goes like Americans and he been done a goal.
Speaker 3Actually it has done a goal and they go, wow, awesome.
Anyway, so that's probably one of them.
Speaker 1Yeah, and you know the other one, the killers do one.
Speaker 4Now.
Speaker 1His voice just does not lend itself to the Spirit of Christmas.
Speaker 3You know, oh mabe, he's very litigious man Brandon.
Speaker 1Flowers, you know, but that sort of drawn out whiny yet it doesn't want.
Speaker 3To come up with this list?
Okay, where do we sit on all we want?
Where do we all sit on?
Speaker 8What?
Speaker 5Exactly is the question?
Speaker 3All I Want for Christmas?
What do you sit?
Speaker 5I like All I Want for Christmas?
Speaker 3It is a great song.
Speaker 5I think it's the best.
Like I like Fairy Tales of New York at that, but All I Want for Christmas and Last Christmas by Whem.
I think that.
Speaker 1My personal favorite is Driving Home for Christmas.
Chris read.
Speaker 5You always say that I hate it for Christmas.
Shit, I love you always play it like in Christmas Hill downstairs cleaning or doing something.
Speaker 1It makes me happy.
Speaker 3It lacks a bit of punch.
Speaker 1We know why too.
For me, it's particularly poignant because as a kid, Christmas for me was sitting at the front fence waiting for everyone to come home from Sydney.
Yeah, like, so they were all driving home.
So I was just waiting and waiting and waiting for my older brothers and sisters.
Speaker 3Jack, you're going to go.
Speaker 4I didn't choose a song I went with an entire artist.
I went with Danny Elfman.
Now do you know who Danny Elfman is?
Some themes for like a lot of Tim Burton movies, all the original Batman, Yeah, and then The Nightmare Before Christmas.
He did a lot of those themes.
Now it's not so much.
Speaker 6About the music.
The music is quite good.
Speaker 4It's more around him.
This popped up on Disney's Instagram the other day.
I'm going to give you a reaction.
I'll chuck it up on the YouTube and you listen to the audio.
This is what Disney posted of Danny Elfman to pretty much promote The Nightmare before Christmas for Disney Plus.
Speaker 6Are you ready for this?
Speaker 3I'm Danny Elfman and this is the twenty three second challion.
Speaker 5You have twenty three seconds to tell us the plot of Tim Burtons The Nightmare before Christmas.
Speaker 3Jax Killing is a King of Halloweenland.
Speaker 6He is pulled into a magical tree and inserted strangely into Christmas Town.
Speaker 3He decides it's so wonderful.
Speaker 4Do we think that is a great way to promote The Nightmare Before Christmas?
Speaker 5Did we think does that even deserve to be on the podcast?
That's good, Okay, I just want to because it might be just me.
Speaker 6Right.
Speaker 5At what point during Jack playing that, did you think, what the hell are we watching?
Speaker 1I'm watching the countdown thinking how much more do you?
Speaker 3I went to Jack, you really should run, you really should.
Speaker 5Run this stuff.
Speaker 3I'm the one the band Aid.
Do they know it's Christmas beautiful?
That we are the World?
I like that better than the other world as well, isn't it?
Because thank god it's one of them instead of you.
Speaker 5You know, it's funny like you go back and listen to some of those band Aid songs that we are the World and do they know?
It's Christmas?
Speaker 3Different?
Speaker 5And it really it really showcasts how bad somethings actually, yeah, I heard it.
We can move on because you're ruining my point.
But some singers are actually so shit and like they make good.
They can create some good songs, but when you put them up against an actual good singer.
Some people that followed, like I think, if we are the World?
Some people followed Michael Jackson and and you you listen to it and you go, how the hell is that person a professional singer?
Speaker 3Whatever?
The one who stole the show?
That we are the World.
They showed the documentary where was Darryl Hall.
Everyone was like going up from hall of notes, like getting signatures, like at that point he was just like blonde, Yeah, yeah, the blonde one.
But what was like, as Cooper said, like Michael Jackson sung and then there was a line of rich another scene and so you could see the rest of them was starting to sweat.
Bob Dylan had a panic attack and didn't want to seem they had to roof get everyone out.
Like it's funny.
You never underestimate people's insecurities.
Who would have thought that Bob Dylan would have been intimidated they had to move everyone.
Speaker 5Out, certainly, Yeah, I wouldn't have thought so.
Speaker 1Speaking bono, Matt went, when we're in Dublin and you went to the Irish Rock and Roll Museum, which you love the Irish mate.
Speaker 3Honestly, people get to Dublin, You've got to go to that.
Speaker 1Street star student too.
Speaker 3Well, I was on fire, Triph.
Sometimes you know, it's just lightning in a bottle.
You don't know where it comes from, but where it goes to.
It's not a fickleed butterfly, but someone standing there.
There's about you know, fifteen on the on the tour and the person they go right over on there it's about to start sod understanding.
And I was right up the back, sort away from everyone.
Last in there.
She goes where he's from?
Chile, Argentina, a lot of America, man churse to live?
She goes you at the back, where are you from?
Went Australia.
She goes, why you're so far away?
I said, okay, in the ice age when Asia and the Civic broke away from Europe right and make massive laughs.
And then I was And then I was just in the zone.
But I wanted I went there to see to pay tribute to the great Roy Regalia, who's just about my favorite people.
Speaker 5Galigher from Yeah, but what does he.
Speaker 3No, no, no, no, he was just an individual artist.
I got a new about five years ago.
I heard Noel Gallagher talking about who's your greatest influence?
He said, probably the number one is Regalia.
He was He's viewed as Australia, Ireland's probably most important influential artists.
Speaker 7Best.
Speaker 5The biggest song that anyone mate the ones.
Speaker 3I'm going to tell people to listen to four songs to give you a bit of an idea of what he's about, how vast is hell cat bad, Penny Philby and cruise on out listen to those four.
But he was such a megastar amongst the peers, like highly respectable, like bb King.
Brian May says like he was his hero.
And Jimmy Hendrix was once asked by a music journalists.
He said, music journalists to Jimmy Hendrix, what's it like to be the greatest guitarist in the world.
He said, you better ask that question.
Speaker 2Rory Gallagher really, yeah, So well, they say.
Speaker 5That about that Chapel Roane, that modern artists.
Yeah, Chapel Roon, that's it.
What did you say, Chappelle ron It's not Chappelle Corby Trice, it's Chapel Roan.
Yeah.
Speaker 3They say She's they call it.
Speaker 5When you google her name on Google, it comes up your favorite your favorite artists, favorite artists.
So like all the music artists that they all say in interviews like She's she's like the epitome of beautiful.
She kind of sings like every one of her songs.
It's very it's very unique.
They're almost like written like Bohemian Rhapsody.
They're like a couple of different songs within a song.
Obviously not the length of Bohemian raps it, but they make it.
They're on like mainstream radio and stuff like.
She's very mainstream.
You'd know some of her stuff.
I've played it for you.
Speaker 3But they're part two, part two in the then and then she said she's talking about Bono, and they said, does everyone fancy you too?
And everyone put out their hands.
Yet she goes, it's interesting, he's not.
Bono's not popular in Ireland, right, I went, really yeah, And she sort of spoke about a few things.
Then she goes, just a question for you people, what's the difference between God and Bono?
Now I've heard this joke before, but I pretend that I haven't.
I said, look, I don't know exactly, but in my opinion, the difference would probably be that God doesn't think he's Bonner.
And anyway, hughes laughter again because they've never heard it, and they goes, you know the joke, No, no, it just sort of makes sense.
And from there, honestly, I was untouchable.
It was like the greatest game of football.
Speaker 5So you ruined this Lady's like basically yeah, was she a stand up comedian?
Speaker 3She's supposed to be.
No, No, she was just tall.
Speaker 5Was I gotta ask?
Was Dad like annoying on this trip away.
Speaker 1A little bit?
Sometimes?
Speaker 3Yeah?
Well I thought it.
Speaker 5Would No, no, No, I know you're not being annoying.
Speaker 9I'm just listening to like how passionate you are, because you're so passionate about UK like an Ireland culture.
So I was just listening and I was sometimes you like will bring up stuff, and I can imagine after four weeks of it, Trish, that you would have got quite.
Speaker 5Annoyed with it.
Speaker 1But there were some days where I said, you know what, maybe we're just going to our each going to our own thing today.
Need a little bit of time.
Speaker 3Yeah, well, well let me get I need a time too, Jake, Because when she was driving, she decided, like in Turkey, she started Maddie, when I got to Ireland and I go, what are you doing?

When we get to Ireland.
Well, we're driving around Ireland.
Everything was where we're going to Matte, how far is Tipperary?
And I'll be going And after a bit I just said, hey, listen, I know you can said do it?
Can you stop it?
Because we can't have a serious conversation.
Whatever you say, whatever you say, lad.
So we go into Dublin.
Dublin is the hardest city to drive around and everything, and I said, the Trish Triss is going where the hotel?
Fire away for the hotel?
I said, listen, don't please stop the Irish accent, because I said, if we miss a turn, we're in all sorts.

Speaker 8That.
Speaker 6Oh.
Speaker 5Connor McGregor is going to be going to his pub tonight.

Speaker 4He's got in contact with his trainer because I think he'd come to the Cambra facilities.
Speaker 5Yeah, so he trained with Condor's actual trainer and then he tipped him off and he went and sat at the part he reckons for ages and kind of never showed up whatever.
Speaker 3He walks out.
Speaker 5As he walks out the door, Connor McGregor walks in and he got pictures with him and had to be He said he had like heap of beers with him, Like just.
Speaker 1Thought Connor turned in leaf and leave.
He found the Lord.
Speaker 5Yeah, you drink a couple of beers, A couple of beers, never hurt new one.

Speaker 3Te Shall we tell him a story?
Speaker 1Which one there's a lot better.
Speaker 3In Turkey at that.
Yes, So we arrive we're staying in the old part of town and called and we turn up there and by the way, it was an old child.

I wonder if it's that.
Joe looks similarly out the front.
I said, is this from mid Non Express?
Now?
Like yeah, it was.
It was a movie out of it.

It wasn't ship.
Speaker 5Was it good or not?
Was it a good story or not?
Speaker 4It was good.
Speaker 3I think it's good to you.
Speaker 4It's hard because you're looking for interaction from a store and down getting a story.
Speaker 3And I sort of expected you look as opposed to Jack's looking the other way and sort of looking at Trish going and and I'm just talking into the ether.
Speaker 5Let's leave, Let's leave this in and you have another crack at it.
Speaker 1Please on another day.

Speaker 5They and they were Irish stuff?
Speaker 1No, it's.
Speaker 2But I've been talking in an Irish accent.
Speaker 3I know you're looking at me.
You think of other things.
Yeah, it's like me and you might make love, you know, she's always thinking of someone else's looking at anyway, So they come charging out and they and they make really enthusiastic Oh, mister missus, John's welcome to you know, come in, come in.
Yeah, they said, don't worry about We've already got you.
We know what your room is.
Speaker 5We're going to take the.
Speaker 3Bags up there.
They'll be there as soon as you arrive.
Would you like a personal tour?
And I'm going, wow, this is unbelievable the hospitality.
So yep, so we're getting a personal tour.
But there's about three of the staff just ghostingess walking around and sort of just staring, staring, and I'm going, oh wow, this.
Speaker 1Is sort of it wasn't a busy time for the hotel.
Speaker 3It wasn't a busy time.
So anyways, and they're going, oh, this is the garden and look at these people and they're whispering.
I'm going this is weird.
So miniitritiare walking up together up to the room.
She goes, Oh, it'll be interested to see if they've done anything or what do you mean.
She goes, oh, like a bottle of champagne.
She goes, I told it it was our thirtieth winning anniversary.
Speaker 1Well, it is coming up in January.
Speaker 3Anyway, so they've gone to our thirtieth winning so they've gone obviously gone we'll do something sweet.
So they've googled both of us, right anyway, they've gone through my stuff and obviously thought on some sort of like an Australians version of David Beckham or something respectfully.
Yeah, not far, no, anyway, I walk into the hotel.
Hotel room, it's basically a gargantuan tribute to me.
Oh, balloons, fake front page news and the local the Istanbul Times, from the from the sporting field to the Ottoman Empire.
He makes it and all this yeah, yeah, a massive, a massive cake with made on a football field extra for this anyway, I went downstairs to thanks very much, said we're going to cake every day for you.
Every day they'd replace it with another one with the football field and things like that.
But every time I went downstairs, mate, though, were like almost round of applause was going this is did.
Speaker 5You take advantage of that?
Like, were there some instances where you, uh, you know, maybe leveraged that howe that you clearly held her?
Speaker 1No?
No, But can I tell you a funny story.
So before we're the night before we were departing, there's a knock on the door and it's the concierge comes in, lovely girl Hazel and mad It inquired about going to the Galatas game.
Speaker 2Play and.
Speaker 1She walks in and she said, oh, you're going tomorrow.
Speaker 3We've just got a little gift for you, and they presented me with the hotel staff chipped in and bought me a Galatas ride jersey and soccer jersey.
Speaker 2Yeah I've got.
Speaker 1And Matt panicked and was uncomfortable.
It's like, oh oh, and goes do you have a boyfriend or a husband, and she went, oh, no, no, I don't.
Speaker 3I'm looking around for a football jersey or anything like a pair of shorts or anything.
And the only thing I've got is a pair of Newcastle Knights dick stick is.
So I picked them up and say there.
Speaker 1I intercepted.
Speaker 2I was like, what are you doing?
Speaker 5Yeah, that is one of the most inappropriate.
Speaker 1So inappropriate to this, like thirty year.
Speaker 5Old is did she did?
Speaker 3She?
Speaker 1She looked awkward and I went, oh my god, matte No, I said, I will send you something.
Yeah, he said, clearly he wants to give you something, but that isn't inappropriate.
Speaker 3But it was amazing that hotel has been transformed.
It was a prison.
It was a prison off off mid non Express and bloke was telling us that we went down with the ferry ride across to the Asian side on the Bosporus, and the guys came up and said, we stand in the place to be Non Express and the guy went yeah, he said, Oliver Stone just traveled over here to apologize to the Turkish people.
They said that movie he directed.
That movie cost Turkey thirty years of tourism because when you watch it, you go, oh my god, I remember the.
Speaker 1People just weren't going there there terrified.
Speaker 3By the way you want to hear something odd.
One thing odd.
I'd love to not saying odd about like you know, Australian bands and sometimes it's secure.
Aussie bands can be huge.
J overaseus like James Rain and Noussy crawl in Brazil, Spy versus Spy in Brazil, Pete Murray and Russia.
But bloke comes up in Russia.
Yeah, Pete Mary's big in Russia.
Speaker 1Pete Murray, could you please confirm?
Speaker 3Now?
The guy come up and he goes, oh, guys, so you're Australian.
That's fantastic.
On a Galatasa roy support we had Lucas Neil and Harry Harry Kle playing here and yeah, yeah, and he is I just love everything about Australia.
I love Tim Minchin, he's my favorite.
And then he has and my favorite band of all time Australians.
He goes, guess which one?
So not Oil, No, you don't run through who Guru Isna?
It was?
It was King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard electronic sort of expert.
Speaker 4The moment they're going good, they're they're.
Speaker 3Growing, but they play thing called jazz rock.
They're really into innovation with music.
And he goes yeah, when they play his they play at stadiums.
He said, they're one of the biggest bands in Turkey jazz rock, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard.
So even they go into a little bit of country, bit of everything.
Speaker 5So there is a little emergence of like jazz jazz bands at the moment, like jazz music.
You like Olivia Dean in the UK.
She kind of fits along like that, that sort of old school jazzy vibe but a bit more modern.
She's very good.
There's also a local bloke.
She's actually the cousin of one of my friends, Jesse West.
His name is Don West.
Speaker 3The fish Man, the fish that he rejrects.
Don West is the junior as well.
Speaker 2Isn't that's John you almost.
Speaker 5But he's like I saw some videos of him playing over and I think it was like America or UK.
They're like selling out like bigger venues.
Speaker 7Ye.
Speaker 3Yeah, just taste some music.
Speaker 5What's going on?
Because I'm not much of a jazz man.
Speaker 3No, No, I'm not.
Speaker 5I wouldn't like.
I wouldn't like, although I would love to learn the saxophone, the sexophone, isn't I think it'd be a very cool instrument I can see you, I can see you.
Speaker 3There's long fingers just.
Speaker 6Just about getting it underneath.
Speaker 3Its very hard to In a second, we're going to come back to Cooper because about this part of the EU and ras Men put on.
By the way, we think someone slept in our bed nonetheless, so it gets a workout some way.
Speaker 7Ah.
Speaker 3But Jack, you went Tyland you and was that?
Speaker 4Yeah?
Speaker 6It was good.
Speaker 4It's it was a pretty overcast the most of the time there, but it was fun.
Speaker 5It was fun.
Speaker 4It was yeah, I don't even know, like it was Bangkok just so full on.
Chang Wi was nice.
We did the sticky waterfalls you have looked good.
There's like limestone on these waterfalls and the water runs down it and it becomes like really like grippy and you can not so much sticky, but like super grippy, so you can like the water's coming down Spider Man and you're crawling up there, not crawling, but you can like walk up the like on two leagues after to grab anything.
Speaker 3Really.
Speaker 6Yeah, it's pretty incredible.
Speaker 5It's like looking on velcro.
Speaker 6Yeah, because it's like it's.
Speaker 4So weird to explain, like you can like you're almost going up horizontal eventually sideways.
It's pretty cool, but it's that was about the only son we got for the trip though.
Speaker 3Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1But it's going into the wet season, is it.
Speaker 3Yeah?
Speaker 6I think so there was.
Speaker 4We're that close going Vietnam, but they've got like the really bad floods over there, so lucky we didn't go.
Speaker 5Was it a good trip though?
Speaker 6Yeah, it was good.
It was good.
Speaker 4It would have been a lot nice if it over cast, but.
Speaker 6It was good to get away for a bit.
Speaker 4The we didn't bring too many things back to be fair, but geez, you can do a lot of things, like if you want to, It would be such a great challenge if you've got like a couple of pals, give them two grand each and just said how long?
Speaker 5Who could last the longest?
Speaker 4Like in terms of accommodation expenses, who could just last the longest?
Like I reckon you could stretch that sort of a long way if you're.
Speaker 3Not, if you just see like the street food, but then I'll get your grog from from seven elevens.
Speaker 1That that's what Matt loves.
Speaker 3I just why would you play?
Why did you play?
Fifteen dollars for beer and hotel?
We just go across the road and have the same beer of dollar twenty they had like they had like.
Speaker 4A sais like the big cans, like like twelve bar, which is like I think it's like a dollar Yeah, it's crazy.
Speaker 5Can I ask you Jack, Because like obviously when you go away in your partner, it's a bit of a test of the relationship.
Test was were there any like fights or anything?
Speaker 6No, not really, not really.
Speaker 4It wasn't that sort of trip anyway, Like we weren't doing like it was somewhere between like a trip where you're doing like lots of walking around like it was in Bangkok.
But then the rest of the ship was sort of more relaxed, so it wasn't too bad.
But we didn't get The food was good and we didn't get sick at all, but was like we had heats of street food, like a heap of it, And I was so surprised.
I was prepared to get sick at least once.
Speaker 5And it was the last gym.
Speaker 3Then always says Anthony bull Day, and you say, if you're going to go to a country, he said, to eat the street food and the local stuff.
He said their business is built on like reputation once locals a tourists come and go, but sage advice locals forever now Cooper true, Yes, me and you were driving through Ireland and heard with horror basically that there was a mass party happening here.
Speaker 1Can you thank you my neighbors?
Speaker 5So who who snitched on that?
Speaker 1No, don't don't yeh, that's not snitches.
Get stitches, bitches get sorry.
Speaker 4But you said that suppose stitch is a bit of a bit not wrong.
Speaker 3Yeah, we're not going to grass.
Speaker 1I don't worry you.
You were posting pictures and then like the following Monday, the podcast comes out and you were talking about it.
Speaker 5Yeah, I told told me RaSE man told that.
Obviously never passed that message.
Speaker 1I certainly did not.
Speaker 3But we didn't talk about the party.
Speaker 2But I'm finding it was good fun.
Speaker 5It was good fun.
So obviously if you didn't listen to that episode, there's probably thirty low axes and we essentially it was it was a party.
Was who's ringing you?
Who's ringing you?
Speaker 3Todd Carney is that desperate one.
He's doing a lot of junior coaching now at the title, by the way, outstanding you don't.
Speaker 5Need to give me a wrap.
Speaker 6Did you play with Toddy?
Speaker 5Played against Toddy in Queensland Cup.
He was playing at Northern Pride up in Cans.
My first ever night in Cans ever, because all the everyone loves going to Cans on a way trip when you're playing like Queensland Cup or like, there's not really NRL games there anymore.
Speaker 2But what's that?
Speaker 1What's that pub?
Speaker 2Gilligans.
Speaker 5Gilligans is like the Grouse Spots, so everyone like always packs multiple pairs of jeans and one pair of boots.
And I was playing against Toddy.
I've never met Toddy before.
Finished the game.
We had a little post match function.
Toddy was like, we had a beer, we're talking, We're talking, and then he left and I me and the team went back to the team room.
And then I just got a text from this random number saying meet me here in half an hour, and I was like, who the hell is this?
He said to Todd Carney, and I was like right, and I'm like eighteen, and I was like, I love Todd Carney.
Like I watched the Playstate of Origin all this stuff, and then I went there and I think, I think just for clarification obviously, Toddy's a change man now, but this was like peak Todd Carney.
So this was like Todd before he probably cleaned his lifestyle up and you know it became more of a role model.
Speaker 3In the community.
So we had we had a.
Speaker 5Lot of fun, I guess, is what I'm trying to say.
Speaker 3He's very, very fun.
Speaker 2It's fine, birds of a feather, no trouble.
Speaker 5But what the best part was it was pissing down rain and Gilligans because I mean cans because like wet season up north and it rains, it's muggy, it's hot, and it pisses down on you.
And anyway, I feel that a few of the other boys teammates of mine and he's sort of linked up with us at this pub and Toddy ordered an uber to Gilligans, but wouldn't allow me or him to get in the car.
He was like, nah, everyone else, get in.
We're going to find our own way.
And we're like, the hell are we going to get there?
Speaker 10And then this this this man was riding around in the pissing rain, like monsoon weather, on a on a bike with like a carriage on the back, and he waved him down.
Speaker 5And was like Gilligans Gilligans, and he was like, yeah sure.
He was literally riding home because he's like, no one's going to want to get in this bike with a seat on the back when it's piercing down rain.
And then we just sat on the in the back of this thing.
It was like a twenty minute bike ride, just getting hosed on, and he was facetiming Joey for the whole twenty minute thing.
And his phone.
I don't know how his phone didn't break because it was that wet like it was.
It wasn't in the iPhones nowhere.
You can submerge it a minna of water.
Speaker 3Ejack, Your story is second worse.
Speaker 7Second close.
Speaker 5Yeah, well, I can't say anymore to put Harriet down.
Speaker 4Was the low point cover the fact that Cooper was talking about the waterproofing of Toddy's phone.
Speaker 6Massive.
Speaker 5I'm a big details guy.
He probably went into too much detail about the waterproofing of his fire.
Speaker 1Okay, times baby the Start show today.
Speaker 3That's the funniest thing you've ever said.
What was I talking?
Speaker 5Ship?
Okay, Laura's party was fine.
Speaker 1Yeah, hanging chair upstairs broken, walk in the other night after a long flight and I look at my lamp and go what's on that?
Someone's red pong?
Speaker 4What do you call them?
Speaker 2Beerpunk?
Speaker 3What they did?
Ye put it over all the lights.
Speaker 5And Flynnofs shout out to Flinnofs.
So Flynn he my mate, Flynn he he was also doing some of the DJing because I went and hired all this DJ equipment.
We set it up and flynnos he was pimp.
Lor Axe said, like a big leopard fur coat and like a bucket out and all these chains and sunnies.
But flynnos like he's been bit of a quirky thinker and out of no where he goes.
We need beer punk clus can you find some beer pong cups?
Someone sweet so rang one of the boys, can you drop off some beer pon cups for me?
He drove around Flynn.
We look back inside.
We were all drinking on the veranda.
Speaker 3We look back.
Speaker 5Flynn has a chair and he's sticky taping all these red cups over every light upstairs, every single light.
Did he yeah, shout out to Flynn.
And but then at night when you turn the lights on, like red Light District in Amsterdam, the whole place was like a massage parlor.
Shot it was awesome.
Speaker 2It was so cool.
Speaker 3Worst story, Jackson, You guys asked me.
Speaker 1When I got the cup off, it was melted from the light bulb on the land.
Speaker 3That's on me because I got slept in their bed.
We need to know, I swear my life.
Speaker 5No one slept.
Speaker 1I changed the sheets to day I was leaving.
Someone had pulled the sheets down, did it really?
Speaker 5Yeah?
So Dale Finucan and his mate the week before they were playing a gig in Manly and him and his mate and his Maig was going to sleep on the couch and I said, don't do that.
You sleep in Jack's and Dale you're clean.
You sleep in um and Dad's room.
Speaker 1Now it's probably better that Dale slept in out than yours.
Speaker 3There was.
Speaker 1I came in yesterday.
His sheet brown, Coober pillows brown.
Mate, three weeks you didn't wash?
What did you say?
Speaker 5I like it brown?
Speaker 6No?
Speaker 2What did you say?
Speaker 5I'm colorblind?
I don't.
Speaker 1Well, don't leave me at home on my own for three weeks again.
Speaker 3Shirt your little shirts and the shirts shirts body odor?
Speaker 2Oh yeah, hang on a seat, so you got to use the good deodorant.
Speaker 1Mate.
Speaker 5In my defense, those two times, those but one of the button up shirts I wore.
That was for Nico's engagement and it was forty degrees and I was down there at Canella Way at midday and I was sweating my ass off.
Didn't get home till like three in the morning.
So that was just a long, sweaty day.
Right Again, doesn't matter how much THEODR and you use on.
Speaker 2A sweat like, have about your breath.
Speaker 1Mate, When I get you the double strength, that's the one you use.
Speaker 6Why Cooper, like why it was a week ago?
How do they know how bad?
Speaker 4It's not because I washed it.
Speaker 3Trish washed it, still waited that.
Speaker 5Long to wash it.
I don't like.
I'm not like, I'm not good at washing collar shirts.
I don't have the system downpath collar shirts washing them wash loses.
Speaker 3It to form.
Speaker 5Yeah, I don't like losing your form.
So I, knowing that they were back in like a week and a bit, I said, I'll hang under the Colin shirts and I'll wait for Trish to wash them.
I didn't know she was going to be smelling the armpits on them.
Speaker 1Well, you know, But I have given this tip before and people have asked me again what I do Caniston in the wash gets rid of it.
But you put caniston in a spray bottle and you can spray it directly on the arm pits.
Speaker 3You've just lost your.
Speaker 1Literally gets rid of THEO.
Speaker 2You can thank me later.
People.
Speaker 3Yeah, it's really when they wake up.
Speaker 5Podcasting is a lot like footy.
You have a you have a month off and it just takes you time to get back into it.
Yeah, that's all right, you're going all right, all right, everyone's had that.
Dad stopped a story because no one was making eye contact with him, and then proceeded to tell one of the Shiitter stories, which basically the moral of it was that the people in Istanbul thought he was a superstar.
Yeah he was just tooting his own or Maddie Supreme.
Speaker 3No, well, right near the hotel, what do we see in the front of a Gold Coast Titans cap.
Speaker 5Yeah, I know, you sent us a hundred pictures.
Speaker 3But the people telling the people and so the guy he had roosters caps, storm hats and a couple of hours anyone.
And I walked into the bloke and I said, all these rugby league and he goes, yeah, I'm into rugby league.
I said, how he said when Russell Crowe was here to shoot the water Diviner.
He said.
He came past and he said he bought a rug off me and he sat there and he said.
I had a coffee with him and were discussing it and he said he had the Abit hat on, so what's that and he said this is my team blah blah blah and hand him the hat.
No.
I said from that from that moment a Raby League fan.
And he said, Russell posted his shop and said to all Australians and traveling abroad Americans kiwis were going to get every person if you don't offend anyone, if you come to Istanbul, come to this play shop.
He said, what was Yeah, he said he's trade went up.
He said like three thousand percent.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 5I like Russell Crowe man.
I listened to his podcast with Joe Rogan.
Now it's a long one, but he's something sexy about that voice.
He's so intelligent.
Speaker 3Through Jake Johnson bone.
Yeah, he threw what through Jake Johnson bon.
He gave him a good mention on Triple Triple Sorry kiss that was ages ago, but he threw the bone.
Speaker 5Oh yeah, but we spoke about that on the potty before that was like months ago when he rang through.
Speaker 1Yeah, what is your favorite Christmas memory?
Speaker 4Can I a?
Speaker 5They asked on Christmas quickly just on that.
Speaker 3It is called the Troy rug store in istanbourl and Istanbul.
Speaker 6For a rug or a regular league.
Speaker 1In Istanbul next time you're in Istanbul.
Speaker 5Russell Chrus spoke about it when I was three thousand percent, we spoke about it.
Didn't even put a loss.
Speaker 3Yeah, okay, so well that was a lot of fun Christmas?
Speaker 4Was it a lot of fun episode?
Speaker 5It was weird.
Speaker 3It was weird.
Speaker 2I'll say weird.
Speaker 3We've been out of the group.
It was very weird.
What we're going to do, guys at Christmas?
We're going to spend the Christmas episode.
We're actually going to do a very special thing on Christmas Day that you would listen to ask all our guests what they're going to get for Christmas, cetera, et cetera.
We did one with Rosie.
It was so awkward, probably two and a half minutes that of the most awkward you've ever heard.
Speaker 6It wasn't that bad.
It wasn't that bad.
Speaker 4It's just funny now that he's the only one recorded in there.
Speaker 5It is I listen.
I've listened to the audio.
It's it's quite bad.
So we asked Jason Rolls.
I like.
So we finished the partty with the interview, and then we go, oh, Rosie, we're just gonna lit a little Christmas package.
We're just gonna ask him Ris.
He goes, yeah, yea, as good as gold.
And then like the first thing, Dad, Dad pretended like it was Christmas Day and Dad goes, Rosie, Merry Christmas, many a good Christmas Day, and it kind of shocked Rosie to show off the block.
He was like, oh, yeah, thanks, Maddie, Yeah good, good to be here on Christmas.
And then I go, so Rosie, like, this is me asking like a forty something year old bloke what he wants for Christmas.
Rosie, I said, what do you want for Christmas this year?
And he goes, oh, I don't really know.
I just if I want something.
I was sort of just buy it a could I go yeah, right, And it was just heaps of like we asked him, heaps of roadblock questions where it was so stunty.
It just sounds so weird, but we're gonna we'll put it at the end of this Partty because it is bloody funny.
It'll be so awkward for people listen to.
But Merry Christmas, everyone.
Speaker 3Merry Christmas.
Speaker 6I'm good.
Speaker 5I'm good as well.
I don't really I struggle to think of gift ideas for myself so hard.
Speaker 3That's hard.
Speaker 1I've given you an idea for me.
I hope you paid attention when I dropped it to you.
Speaker 3Glasses got Jack's are you and I just got I got too excited, just canter it to him.
Speaker 5Well, everyone, Merry Christmas, ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 3Jason Ryles, well, Merry Christmas.

Speaker 5Give us an insight?
What does what does Jason Rolls doing on Christmas?
Speaker 3I love Christmas?
Do you?
Yeah?
Speaker 8I genuinely love the day.
Like yeah, So I've got a bit of a thing that I like.
I don't like to leave the house after lunch time, So go out and get all our stuff done with the family, and then if you want to come over lunches at our house.
Yeah, and it's on and we just sit there and we park there and we have a good time.
Speaker 11What are you watching like any what's the cricket?
What's on the Christmas Day?
What's a boxing day?
Is?
Speaker 3Yeah, it's good to see your cross anyway, Sporting enthusiasts.
Speaker 5Have you got a favorite Christmas memory?
Whether it be from the Rays Falls, childhood or anything like that.
Speaker 8N the first couple of Christmases with the girls, like with Giselle and Jade and my daughters, that was that was fun.
Like to see them enjoy it and actually understand it.
That was that was good.
As a kid, I was pretty lucky as a kid.
Mom would go all out on Christmas Day, even though we didn't have a heat, but she'd make sure that was a good day.
So always getting up and just seeing the floor covered in presents.
It was always a nice like our our Christmas.
Speaker 3But you got one for you?
Speaker 6Is it?
Speaker 3People driving in the cars?
He's a Gary John story.
As far as Christmas, we're up.
We're driving up to the caravan but Middle Rock Caravan Park.
The fact that the beach was Neudics beach.
We noblemen first went the Beaudus Beach.
Speaker 7Uh.
Speaker 3Anyway, on the way up, we looked at this pie shop open, so gas goes how good let's go and get some pie.
So yep, we go and get pies.
Andrew, who's only very young at the time, probably about you know, five or six, pulled his pie out and the bottom of the past you felt the boiling hot pie mince went all over his legs.
Well, the old man exploded.
We ran into the shop, grabbed the bloke and like had a swing at the bloke about the pie shop.
The bloke about the pie shop ran the cops on so we had to take off and Last Christmas.
Speaker 11Last Christmas question for your rosy what does what does Jason want for Christmas?
Speaker 5This year?
Speaker 6Oh?
Speaker 3This year?
Speaker 5What do you think of?
Speaker 12What's in your little bucket list?
What's in your wish list?
I pretty much get what I'm as I go in life, So I'm not the best.
I'm not the easiest to buy.
Speaker 5For unless you get older.
Speaker 3Would you like a new assistant coach?
Speaker 5Are you offering your services about you?
Speaker 3I would?
Speaker 8Yeah, Yeah, I'm not sure.
I'm hard to buy for and I'm hard.
Speaker 3To get gifts for.
But what I want it be something to do with.
Speaker 8Footy and premiership holding things up and yeah, but I don't want to put any pressure on ourselves.
Speaker 11Yeah, I don't don't just don't, don't wish to ask for anything.
Then I think the best gift is giving to others.
Speaker 3Really, you should give it a go.
Then sometimes Christmas
