  • From the Country to the Big Smoke: Trading country life for the hustle of the city to pursue a dream in showbiz.
  • The Business of Entertainment: Which is more lucrative - social media, stand-up comedy, or those ubiquitous ads Capper's been popping up in? We get the inside scoop.
  • Country Hoops and Beyond: Reliving the glory days (and maybe not-so-glory days) of country basketball and sports life.
  • Music and a Peep Inside the Temple: We talk music and get a glimpse into the mysterious "Peep temple."
  • Part 3: Next Rookie to $1k: It's back! We continue our search for the next NBA rookie whose card is destined for the $1,000 club.
  • Superfractor Summary: Everything you need to know about Superfractors and why they're the Holy Grail of the collecting world.

1 minute, 13 seconds

Hey, thanks Russell. Thank you so much.

1:15

1 minute, 15 seconds

This is a odd experience. Um, [laughter] obviously obviously I'm I'm always interested in

1:22

1 minute, 22 seconds

things. So interested. And I thought Russell can guide me through trading cards and the way they work. And I thought, hang on, everyone who listens

1:30

1 minute, 30 seconds

to this is already going to know that and it's going to be really boring.

1:34

1 minute, 34 seconds

[laughter]

1:35

1 minute, 35 seconds

So, I'm only going to tell you what I my experience with trading cards. I guess I Yep.

1:40

1 minute, 40 seconds

Well, I didn't know. Did you have a question before? So, [ __ ] Sorry. I I'm I'm an idiot. Oh, and am I am I allowed [laughter] to swear? Oh, man. This This is bit This is terrible from the start, you know.

1:50

1 minute, 50 seconds

This is fantastic. This is probably the best episode I've ever done. I can just mark it as rated mature for this episode and that's totally fine. Why don't we just do a language warning right now

1:58

1 minute, 58 seconds

actually? So for for children at home, there's going to be a couple of rude words in today's episode.

2:03

2 minutes, 3 seconds

I'll try to keep it PG. I think I think we I can keep it within the basketball card realm.

2:09

2 minutes, 9 seconds

Keep it PG. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, man. So, what basketball cards? I'm guessing uh Yeah. As I said before, I don't want to bore the audience, but they've you've

2:17

2 minutes, 17 seconds

said they've come back up again cuz I am 43 years old.

2:22

2 minutes, 22 seconds

Great. I'm 44, so we're the same vintage. Yeah.

2:24

2 minutes, 24 seconds

So, my experience with basketball cards were is I was out in a place called Bouai. Uh, and there were 25 kids in my

2:32

2 minutes, 32 seconds

primary school. So, I was I was an hour from the nearest town. Yeah.

2:36

2 minutes, 36 seconds

Is that actually how you pronounce the suburb or is that your interpretation of how you pronounce it? How else would you pronounce that?

2:43

2 minutes, 43 seconds

Bomi.

2:45

2 minutes, 45 seconds

[laughter]

2:48

2 minutes, 48 seconds

Okay. That's if you have a deeper knowledge if you have a deeper knowledge of the suburb. That's what you would say. Yeah.

2:53

2 minutes, 53 seconds

No, we're going to talk more about that later for sure. Definitely. Yeah. Yeah.

2:56

2 minutes, 56 seconds

Yeah. I was like going to this primary school and my mate, he had older brothers that would go away at a boarding school in Sydney and they would

3:05

3 minutes, 5 seconds

always come back with something crazy and amazing. And one time they brought back a bunch of like it must have been around 1995 and they brought back a

3:15

3 minutes, 15 seconds

bunch of basketball cards that were were really cool. I I liked like looking through them but I couldn't really get a

3:22

3 minutes, 22 seconds

grasp of it. But I he also brought X-Men 95 Ultra Ultra Fleer collection and they had all the um

3:30

3 minutes, 30 seconds

Were they kind of shiny cards or they sort of matte cards? Do you remember?

3:34

3 minutes, 34 seconds

Yeah, they were real shiny. I think I've still got them, man. I think we've still got the whole collection in They're probably worth more than the basketball cards. Oh, really?

3:43

3 minutes, 43 seconds

Yeah. From that era. So, we call that the junk wax era. And they printed a lot of stuff. And maybe if you remember, they were everywhere. They were in like service stations, news, news agents.

3:53

3 minutes, 53 seconds

They were just like in Coohl's, Woollies, like you know, the whole thing. So, that was just a lot of it printed in that sort of ' 90s era.

4:00

4 minutes

It was so cool, man. The illustrations like Boris uh they had that Boris guy.

4:05

4 minutes, 5 seconds

Uh, a lot of other Boris Feligio, uh, his name was, and a lot of other like really a lot of them were like quite sexual. Uh, yeah, but [laughter]

4:14

4 minutes, 14 seconds

and and the guys were jacked, but yeah, it was it was really cool. And then, um, and then I went to Jack. That does sound actually quite sexual when you say it like that.

4:23

4 minutes, 23 seconds

[laughter]

4:24

4 minutes, 24 seconds

I often talk about this with my comedy mates on the podcast because now with the internet, you can watch basketball

4:32

4 minutes, 32 seconds

like you can watch it in Australia, but When when I was and when you were young, it it basketball was that big. Like

4:40

4 minutes, 40 seconds

Michael Jordan was that big that people loved him in Australia and we'd never even seen a game. Like you could even watch the games.

4:49

4 minutes, 49 seconds

That's insane.

4:50

4 minutes, 50 seconds

You saw him on advertisements like McDonald's advertise. I think that's how you got to know him honestly. Yeah.

4:55

4 minutes, 55 seconds

Yeah. I remember my mate at boarding school had a uh a Michael Jordan calendar and cuz I was from the middle of nowhere, they explained that who

5:03

5 minutes, 3 seconds

Michael Jordan was and and Shaq Shaq was huge. I had a Shaq Gernzie. I didn't even watch basketball, but I had a Shaq Gernzie, you know. It was cool. Yeah,

5:11

5 minutes, 11 seconds

that and the Charlotte Hornets was like the two sort of massive pop icons at that time, wasn't it? Cuz everyone had like a starter Charlotte Hornets jacket,

5:19

5 minutes, 19 seconds

dude. Yeah. Yeah. I love those starter uh Yeah. jackets. I might go get one, actually. I'm cashed up. But yeah,

5:26

5 minutes, 26 seconds

[laughter] I uh man, this is so cool talking about all this because uh yeah, when I went to boarding school, I would

5:35

5 minutes, 35 seconds

Bumi was an hour from Mor. So when I left, when I went home for the holidays, I'd be like, "Hell yeah, I'm going

5:42

5 minutes, 42 seconds

home." I'd get on the bus in Tamworth and then the bus would take 5 hours to go to Mory and I'd be like, "Hell yeah,

5:49

5 minutes, 49 seconds

I'm home." And then my mom would take me to this place called Video Easy, right?

5:54

5 minutes, 54 seconds

Yeah, dude. It was the best. The smell of those cards when you open up the packet

6:01

6 minutes, 1 second

all the the vibe of the whole place. And and she used to buy me the X-Men cards.

6:06

6 minutes, 6 seconds

Uh and then I would look at them, you know, if you got like an insert that was sick. Like one of those plastic inserts.

6:12

6 minutes, 12 seconds

And then I um and then we'd drive another hour to Boommy. And then we'd have to drive another what half an hour out to the farm. So Video Easy was just

6:22

6 minutes, 22 seconds

it was paradise. It was just a place or you know. Yeah. Yeah. And laying them all out, drawing them was so cool.

6:28

6 minutes, 28 seconds

So we actually have a few people that listen to this pod from overseas. So can you just give us a bit of an explanation in terms of like the other capital

6:35

6 minutes, 35 seconds

cities in Australia where you live? Cuz as an Australian, I'm actually not really that sure where you grew up. So s

6:43

6 minutes, 43 seconds

you got Sydney, I guess, which is on the coast. Then if you went 10 hours 10 hours southwest in the middle of New South Wales, that's where I was. Yeah.

6:53

6 minutes, 53 seconds

Yeah. So not in the middle, but on the border on the New South Wales Queensland border. So we're about 10 hours from Brisbane, about 5 to 6 hours from Sorry, 10 hours from Sydney, 5 to 6 hours.

7:04

7 minutes, 4 seconds

Yeah.

7:05

7 minutes, 5 seconds

Yeah. Right. And what what did your parents do to get you out in that area?

7:09

7 minutes, 9 seconds

Were you guys farmers? Were you Yeah. My dad managed a cotton farm. Yeah. 40,000 acres. Yeah.

7:15

7 minutes, 15 seconds

One of the biggest cotton farms in the southern hemisphere. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Really cool. Really cool way to grow up.

7:21

7 minutes, 21 seconds

But I I was a daydreamer. I just was like I I wasn't good at farming, you know? I tried my best, but Yeah. I wasn't Well, I lie. I did not try my best. I'm so lucky. [laughter] Yeah.

7:31

7 minutes, 31 seconds

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

7:33

7 minutes, 33 seconds

So, what what makes you a good or a bad farmer? Like, cuz I I also didn't grow up on a farm, so I've got no idea, you know, what it would involve at all.

7:42

7 minutes, 42 seconds

Yeah. Like in my opinion, like farmers are just heroes. Like they're good at everything. They uh they can fix things.

7:48

7 minutes, 48 seconds

They come up with stuff on the fly because you got you're just out in the elements and you can't just whiz to the shop and get something.

7:55

7 minutes, 55 seconds

Uh so my dad was just he's a bit of a genius in terms of he would always keep plastic packaging or things like that

8:02

8 minutes, 2 seconds

just in case one day, you know, a spray nozzle or something and you you you couldn't you didn't have a spare 3 hours to go and grab the the spray nozzle

8:11

8 minutes, 11 seconds

apart. So you just be like maggyver something in there. Uh that's what makes a good farmer. Also working smart so you don't you do have to work bloody hard.

8:18

8 minutes, 18 seconds

There is sometimes where like the the rain and the weather is your mistress.

8:23

8 minutes, 23 seconds

So when it when it's hot or when it's raining after it's rain, you got to get in there as quickly as possible because

8:31

8 minutes, 31 seconds

you'll lose $40,000 uh or $100,000 if you don't plant at the right time. And yeah, it's a lot like

8:38

8 minutes, 38 seconds

comedy. A lot of it um or any job really that where you work for yourself is is just getting better at planning with the

8:48

8 minutes, 48 seconds

conditions. You know, my dad's just such a pessimist. One time we had a really good year and I remember saying to him, "Oh, this is awesome." And he's like,

8:56

8 minutes, 56 seconds

"What? No." And I'm like, "What do you mean?" He goes, "Well, we've had a good year this year. That means next year is going to be fucked." [laughter]

9:06

9 minutes, 6 seconds

So, yeah, man. It's everything. It's accounting, it's mathematics, it's physical labor. A lot of people pass off farmers as dumb or whatever, but they're

9:14

9 minutes, 14 seconds

a lot of them are go to uni and come back and things like that. So, yeah.

9:18

9 minutes, 18 seconds

Yeah, it's it's a really cool Yeah. And I was just a bad farmer because I just didn't concentrate on things. I can't finish a task. And you need to finish tasks.

9:29

9 minutes, 29 seconds

Okay. So, Instagram, Tik Tok is your friend. Is that what you're telling me?

9:33

9 minutes, 33 seconds

Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Hell yeah. I I got to get away from it. Yeah. But I'm a lot better with it now. I don't I like to put put stuff into it more than look at it, you know.

9:42

9 minutes, 42 seconds

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

9:43

9 minutes, 43 seconds

So, we were talking about video easy and you're talking about the experience of opening the packets. And the other thing you spoke about too before was like you think people will be bored listening to

9:52

9 minutes, 52 seconds

you talk about this. Actually, I think it's actually good to go back and talk about the fundamentals. So, if you do have any questions, like even if you think they're too silly or too basic, I

10:00

10 minutes

would love to try and answer any of your hobby questions that you've got.

10:03

10 minutes, 3 seconds

Yeah, man. So, I'm guessing with basketball cards, you've got the internet where there's no tangible objects. Speaking of video easy, you

10:12

10 minutes, 12 seconds

know, I think I I feel bad if I have kids that that they won't be able to walk through and and grab the the videos

10:20

10 minutes, 20 seconds

and the, you know, and the DVDs and look at them. And I remember just looking at all the the packaging artwork and the textile,

10:28

10 minutes, 28 seconds

even movies that I didn't even see called like Maniac Cop or whatever, like B-grade horror, they always had like cool graphics on the front that was like

10:36

10 minutes, 36 seconds

hand painted and and now I just scroll through Netflix and I think it makes the decision a lot harder and not taking a not taking a risk on something. And

10:44

10 minutes, 44 seconds

maybe that's what I don't know, I could be wrong about this, but I'm guessing you said that there's been a resurg cards. Is that because people want

10:52

10 minutes, 52 seconds

textile things again that are valuable that they're holding in their hand? I I think there was a few factors that contributed to the resurgence. There was

11:00

11 minutes

essentially a time where the licenses expired and then really no one bid on them. So a company came in called Panini

11:07

11 minutes, 7 seconds

and it took the licenses for basically a bag of chips. Yeah.

11:12

11 minutes, 12 seconds

And the thing that the thing that they did differently and the thing that they did very well is they put in collectibles into the cards. So, for example, pieces of like memorabilia from

11:20

11 minutes, 20 seconds

the the players jerseys. And initially, initially they did a really good job of it. It was all game worn, but then we went through this period where there was

11:28

11 minutes, 28 seconds

a lot of product being made and some of it wasn't gameworn at all. And some of it wasn't even player worn. It was just like a a random piece of material was put into it.

11:36

11 minutes, 36 seconds

Yeah.

11:37

11 minutes, 37 seconds

Uh that happened and then people started to make a little bit of money off it. So then they became collectibles. And what's happened recently is I'm not sure if you heard this, but that Mr.

11:46

11 minutes, 46 seconds

wonderful came and bought he says he's bought about $20 million worth of cards and his perspective is that they're going to be long-term like pieces of art

11:54

11 minutes, 54 seconds

like Monet's where if you're buying the top the top top cards so for example a one of one LeBron James that's got a log

12:02

12 minutes, 2 seconds

in in it that'll be worth $20 million or $30 million in the future and then the third factor was co so when

12:11

12 minutes, 11 seconds

everyone was locked down people were selling basketball cards online. So they were having this experience online in their in their

12:19

12 minutes, 19 seconds

living rooms and that sort of digital online trading and that you know online platforms has also exploded at the same

12:26

12 minutes, 26 seconds

time and now there's dedicated online selling plat platforms and it's it's really become its own beast in some way.

12:34

12 minutes, 34 seconds

So it's actually quite hard just to go and buy a packet or buy a box because the the box is quite expensive. Most people go into box breaks where you just

12:42

12 minutes, 42 seconds

buy a single team and then watch your watch the whole box get opened online but you're only getting one team out of that box.

12:50

12 minutes, 50 seconds

Oh wow. Okay. So they're extremely limited now. You can't get them in just in any shop or whatever. You got to bid for them online or whatever.

12:57

12 minutes, 57 seconds

So if you're thinking about the '9s when they were in like shopping centers and coals, it's not like that at all. You have to go to dedicated hobby shops. But

13:06

13 minutes, 6 seconds

wow, I think more product is sold online on breaking platforms than actual in physical stores now. So there's been a a real change in the way that people consume cards now. Yeah.

13:17

13 minutes, 17 seconds

Wow. That's so cool. I You and I were talking about this before is I'm obsessed with microcosms cuz I I'm I'm

13:24

13 minutes, 24 seconds

in comedy. So you can um say something to someone in comedy and that's my world. So you can say say the wrong

13:30

13 minutes, 30 seconds

thing or have a a weird performance where you were too drunk or whatever and that spreads and that's like your whole

13:39

13 minutes, 39 seconds

world comes crashing down. You're like, "Oh, oh no." You know, and then um as you get as you get older, you realize no one gives a

13:48

13 minutes, 48 seconds

[ __ ] about anything. Like no one even knows who I am or people only know two comedians in Australia probably like Dave Hughes and Carl Baron. That's it.

13:57

13 minutes, 57 seconds

You know, but [laughter] we all think that we all think that we're we're the number one thing. So I, you know, I went

14:05

14 minutes, 5 seconds

to a rodeo and I saw the same thing. I saw everyone in the rodeo. They're all talking about the rodeos. They're all like the rodeo is their life. Yeah.

14:12

14 minutes, 12 seconds

And I love that there's a microcosm of basketball card people, you know, where you probably talk to your mates and you're like, "Oh, don't don't deal with

14:18

14 minutes, 18 seconds

that guy. He's a piece of shit." Or, you know, or you Yeah. You have the There's pages dedicated to that. We call them scammers pages. So 100% something.

14:27

14 minutes, 27 seconds

Yeah. Yeah.

14:28

14 minutes, 28 seconds

You know, and if you get accidentally, you know, labeled as a scammer or or there's someone that's might be really

14:35

14 minutes, 35 seconds

cool in the uh basketball trading thing where they're like, "Fuck yeah, you're the king of this." And then that guy

14:42

14 minutes, 42 seconds

will just be driving a bus, you know, like [laughter] like in his own domain, he's the king,

14:50

14 minutes, 50 seconds

you know, but then yeah, no one gives a [ __ ] about anything like these microcosms. But I love them. I love the microcosms. I love

14:57

14 minutes, 57 seconds

16:03

16 minutes, 3 seconds

You know, you said that you're from uh Greensborough, and you know, I found this um vintage uh gaming part shop

16:11

16 minutes, 11 seconds

there, all old Super Nintendo parts, Super Nintendo controllers, and I'm just loving this. I'm I'm I'm basking in, you

16:20

16 minutes, 20 seconds

know, the all these memories that come flooding back.

16:24

16 minutes, 24 seconds

But this is a world like there was like seven people working in that small shop.

16:29

16 minutes, 29 seconds

I'm like, why is there seven people here? [laughter] Seven. So, what were they doing? Like filling online orders or what's

16:37

16 minutes, 37 seconds

Must have been, man. I don't know. I don't know. But it was like I just I just love these microcosms. I love like

16:44

16 minutes, 44 seconds

you know I I'm I'm a comedian so I've got to like criticize things and judge things but the older I get the more I

16:52

16 minutes, 52 seconds

just respect like people you know [ __ ] these dorks what are they doing collecting basketball cards like grow up

16:59

16 minutes, 59 seconds

man like get an outdoor hobby you know but then the more I like get see these things and how happy it makes people and

17:07

17 minutes, 7 seconds

how happy it makes me I'm like oh this is really cool like this is so cool and I I mean, everyone judges these people, but they're in a pub having a

17:15

17 minutes, 15 seconds

beer, you know. [laughter] Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

17:19

17 minutes, 19 seconds

So, can we talk about Greensboro just for a second? Cuz that shop that you're talking about was actually in an arcade and I remember that arcade from when I

17:27

17 minutes, 27 seconds

was a kid. There was a wedding cake shop there and it sold all those sort of ornamental parts that go onto the, you

17:35

17 minutes, 35 seconds

know, the tiered cakes and it had on the wall. I remember that vividly from my childhood. in the in the back corner they used to have a shop where you buy

17:43

17 minutes, 43 seconds

food for animals. I think it was called a stock stock shop or something like that and I would go there and buy the pallets for my rabbit. My other memory

17:50

17 minutes, 50 seconds

of that arcade was there was a guy there that repaired shoes and he just had this tiny little shop in there and you would take your beat up shoes and he would,

17:59

17 minutes, 59 seconds

you know, send them back to you like they brand new. You're talking about people who are wizards of their craft who were farmers before. I'll put this shoe shop guy into that same Yeah.

18:07

18 minutes, 7 seconds

that same sort of category. Yeah, for sure man. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, to give the overseas listeners, I don't know if you agree with this, but to give

18:14

18 minutes, 14 seconds

them some scope, I think cities like Brisbane and uh Sydney are very capitalistic. Uh the moment something

18:22

18 minutes, 22 seconds

old, they just knock it down and that there's a good reason for that. It's a city. I don't have a problem with that.

18:28

18 minutes, 28 seconds

It's capitalism. That's the way it works. They'll put We have a housing crisis in this country, too, man. So, I think they're trying to build more apartments so

18:35

18 minutes, 35 seconds

people can live in sort of more economical housing, too.

18:38

18 minutes, 38 seconds

Yeah. But for some reason, man, I don't know why, but Melbourne just seems to hang on to these weird shitty malls, like these weird things where you're

18:46

18 minutes, 46 seconds

like, I don't this can't be making money. Like, I went to There's no way they're making money. Yeah. Yeah.

18:51

18 minutes, 51 seconds

I went to And Baron's got like that Bronia Mall. If if you ever come from overseas, you got to check out Bronia Mall because it is it's like the 80s

19:00

19 minutes

just in a there's [laughter] a there was like a DVD shop there with like old TVs, comic books, and then there was just a

19:08

19 minutes, 8 seconds

shop that just sold Lord of the Rings, all Lord of the Rings toys, and the guy wasn't even in the shop. He's like, "Call me. Call me if you want a Lord of

19:16

19 minutes, 16 seconds

the Rings toy, you know." Did he give you a business card?

19:19

19 minutes, 19 seconds

He wasn't there. I It was just a sign on the door. It was just full his side hustle, dude. It was awesome. And and there was

19:26

19 minutes, 26 seconds

a lady that was um she had a display of dog hair that's made into yarn. So you had the different yarns, like the different things that were knitted out

19:34

19 minutes, 34 seconds

of the dog hair, and it had a photo of the dog that came from.

19:38

19 minutes, 38 seconds

How many people wear a dog jacket though? That doesn't sound hygienic.

19:42

19 minutes, 42 seconds

Yeah. Yeah. Did Oh, that'd be really expensive cuz to get the hair off the dog, that would take a long time to like shave the dog and collect it all up and then loom it, wouldn't it?

19:52

19 minutes, 52 seconds

Dude, I was so funny. I uh the lady she saw the video I made about it and she invited me to a show like a live show

19:59

19 minutes, 59 seconds

where she she does the yarn the dog hair yarn and um Yeah. Yeah. So yeah and uh I

20:09

20 minutes, 9 seconds

looked on her Facebook page and yeah she's just she's full MAGA. Loves Trump. Yeah. It's great. Yeah. [laughter] Yeah. I was like oh this is so funny.

20:17

20 minutes, 17 seconds

Can we go back to the start because I feel like we've touched on a few things and we haven't probably properly introduced. So can we just introduce yourself? like tell us where you come

20:24

20 minutes, 24 seconds

from, what you're doing now, cuz you you're doing like standup comedy, you're doing podcasting. Tell us about that.

20:29

20 minutes, 29 seconds

And then also maybe tell us about your journey through cancer cuz that was the three things I feel like we've skipped over. We just went straight into cards.

20:36

20 minutes, 36 seconds

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, man. I uh I grew up Yeah. in the country and then I went, you know, I traveled around a lot and I

20:44

20 minutes, 44 seconds

was just always not knowing what I wanted to do in life. Still kind of don't know really. And then I uh in Sydney I had a friend who was into music

20:53

20 minutes, 53 seconds

and I couldn't play any music, but I love music. I'm obsessed with it. I I enjoy I could talk about music all day. That's my other microcosm.

21:01

21 minutes, 1 second

So I also love music. You were wearing a Peep Tempel t-shirt in your Greensboro video. What's your favorite Peep Tempel song?

21:08

21 minutes, 8 seconds

Oh man, there's Mine's Carol by a long long way. Like it's not even close. Yeah.

21:14

21 minutes, 14 seconds

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, Carol's good, but then they do an instrumental on that album. That's probably one of my favorites. I forget what it is. Or is it the album before?

21:23

21 minutes, 23 seconds

Yeah, that's one of my favorites. Peep I forget what it's called, but it's Yeah.

21:28

21 minutes, 28 seconds

But also, not only do I love Peep Temple is that uh one of my mates plays in it, Stew. He plays on the bass and Yeah.

21:36

21 minutes, 36 seconds

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I love those guys. Uh, and I went and saw him live recently cuz they kind of got back together and I'm like, "Wow, rock's back." You know, it's

21:45

21 minutes, 45 seconds

so good to see like that noisy fuzz rock is, you know, that was started by Radio Birdman and all that kind of uh those

21:52

21 minutes, 52 seconds

kind of bands, you know, and the Stooges, I guess, is back. And I I love it, dude. I love it, you know, cuz that's hard. It's hard to make fuzz sound good.

22:01

22 minutes, 1 second

Sound good. Yeah, definitely. Yeah. And give it emotion, you know. Yeah. No.

22:05

22 minutes, 5 seconds

And uh he said uh I used to go to all these gigs and all of his mates would go mate come on like you got to start playing music soon. I said oh no I can't

22:14

22 minutes, 14 seconds

possibly do music. And they pushed me to do a standup comedy gig. And I kind of wanted to do it but I'd never seen

22:21

22 minutes, 21 seconds

anything. I'd seen standup but I hadn't really like I was wasn't excited about it. But then I saw like Dave Chupel and

22:27

22 minutes, 27 seconds

I was I was like wow this guy's he's got stuff that's well written but it's him that I love. like like when I saw him in the Nutty Professor and stuff, just the

22:36

22 minutes, 36 seconds

way his voice is and the like I I don't enjoy watching him anymore cuz he's so serious, but his his gear is still very

22:44

22 minutes, 44 seconds

well written and stuff. But I I love that goofy Chappelle. That was my that was my guy, you know?

22:50

22 minutes, 50 seconds

And my old work, we had a copy of the Chappelle show. It was like the three seasons of or the two and a half seasons, whatever you want to call it.

22:56

22 minutes, 56 seconds

And we literally like shared it around between all us guys. That thing where he did the Rick James, that is the funniest thing. I'm going to stand by that that

23:05

23 minutes, 5 seconds

I've ever seen in my life. And the other skit that he did that was fantastic was the Prince skit when he had them playing pickup basketball and all the fruity basketball moves they were doing.

23:14

23 minutes, 14 seconds

It doesn't get any better than that. I I I must fully agree. I think I'm Rick James [ __ ] is like [laughter] I was like crying when he was saying that. Yeah,

23:23

23 minutes, 23 seconds

it's the most said thing ever. And the Prince thing where they all change into the basketball gernies and then Prince is just wearing the stuff that they had from the club and high heels.

23:32

23 minutes, 32 seconds

Dude, [laughter] it's just like so good.

23:35

23 minutes, 35 seconds

So good. Just and then make some pancakes at the end.

23:39

23 minutes, 39 seconds

[laughter]

23:40

23 minutes, 40 seconds

And I I remember um what Prince released an album years later and he just put he didn't even ask Dave Chappelle to put

23:48

23 minutes, 48 seconds

the artwork on the cover. So he didn't even get Dave Chappelle's permission to put him dressed as Prince on the front,

23:56

23 minutes, 56 seconds

but he he just did it and no one questioned it. That's how Chappelle say like I can't question him like God. Yeah, he can do what he wants.

24:05

24 minutes, 5 seconds

He can do what he wants. He also did that to Dave Gro when he did the um he did the halftime show. He did the NFL halftime the Super Bowl halftime show.

24:15

24 minutes, 15 seconds

He played the best of you which is that Foo Fighters song.

24:19

24 minutes, 19 seconds

Yeah. And he didn't even ask. He just put it in there. Okay.

24:23

24 minutes, 23 seconds

Yeah. That's how cool it is. And no one ever questioned it.

24:26

24 minutes, 26 seconds

Yeah. Maybe just get that famous. It just doesn't matter anymore, does it? Yeah. Oh, I I love it, dude. I love it. Yeah.

24:31

24 minutes, 31 seconds

Yeah. Yeah. So, yeah. No. And then uh and but then I saw the Mighty Bouch and stuff like that. I saw I saw Dave Chappelle and the Mighty Bouch, which are totally two different things, but

24:39

24 minutes, 39 seconds

they were they taught me that like Okay, cool. you can you don't like it's good to have good material but just have fun

24:47

24 minutes, 47 seconds

and be unique and yeah that was really cool and then I I I thought I'll do one show and all my friends will come along

24:54

24 minutes, 54 seconds

if it goes bad I won't do another one and then that one went good second one went good third one I bombed so hard and my friend had to con me to keep going

25:03

25 minutes, 3 seconds

and uh yeah kept going there man yeah I think just two things on that I think you do need people in your ear pushing you forward and I I've got people like

25:11

25 minutes, 11 seconds

that in my life and I'm I'm so blessed for that because you do have so much self-doubt like putting yourself there.

25:17

25 minutes, 17 seconds

And the other question I want to ask you too is like what are your you must have earlier comedic influences like because for me it was um Kevin Bloody Wilson and

25:25

25 minutes, 25 seconds

Oh yeah yeah yeah Rodney Rude that was the other one.

25:28

25 minutes, 28 seconds

My dad had a Rodney RDE cassette in his work truck and I used to like sneak it out and go and listen to it really

25:36

25 minutes, 36 seconds

softly in my room and then put the cassette back before he realized that it was missing because you know he wouldn't want me listening to that. But he used

25:43

25 minutes, 43 seconds

to do a joke about Schweps and he used to call it Scoopies. And I was actually wondering if that influenced in some of your jokes you do online, you do the

25:51

25 minutes, 51 seconds

suburb reviews and then you you correctly pronounce as you say. Was that an influence that joke on on the way that you look at those suburbs?

25:58

25 minutes, 58 seconds

Oh, no, no, no. I just was like I just thought it's funny to pronounce suburbs like that. They're cuz those suburbs in

26:06

26 minutes, 6 seconds

small town videos that I do, I love those places. people say, "Oh, Nick, you're taking the piss or whatever." And

26:13

26 minutes, 13 seconds

I talk about it in my standup is that I love those towns. I love them. So, I thought, why not pronounce them in a

26:20

26 minutes, 20 seconds

European or a uh kind of linguistic overdrawn linguistic fashion? Yeah.

26:28

26 minutes, 28 seconds

To put more emphasis and and but plus, you know, I talk about it in my stand. I don't I don't you know I try not to do my bits on a podcast but it's more like people from country towns and suburbs.

26:38

26 minutes, 38 seconds

They're not all like this but they're kind of like you can't say anything anymore. Political correctness has gone mad. People are too sensitive. You know

26:46

26 minutes, 46 seconds

you can't say anything anymore. And you go here's something weird about your town. They go [ __ ] you mate. [ __ ] kill yourself. [laughter] You're a piece

26:52

26 minutes, 52 seconds

of [ __ ] You know like that's there's no there's no left or right wing or

27:01

27 minutes, 1 second

wokeness. It's what you care about. It's what you you you always give exceptions of what you care about. The same with the left wing. Same with someone who lives in the city.

27:10

27 minutes, 10 seconds

They'll be saying free Palestine and you know like you know we need to give Aboriginals.

27:16

27 minutes, 16 seconds

We're not all leftwing who live in the city. What are you talking?

27:18

27 minutes, 18 seconds

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. [laughter] But so so like you know I guess in the in the Fitzroy bubble you know. Yeah. Yeah.

27:24

27 minutes, 24 seconds

[laughter]

27:27

27 minutes, 27 seconds

But but yeah, so um you know they'll be telling you yeah free Palestine or whatever while they're doing like lines of coke off a sistern and you go oh well

27:36

27 minutes, 36 seconds

Colombian slavery doesn't count I guess you know like that that's just an exception that's it's what matters to you you know it's a [laughter]

27:43

27 minutes, 43 seconds

you always have exceptions yeah so it's cool it's really cool but I

27:51

27 minutes, 51 seconds

I almost like the country way better because they'll say stuff that's a bit crook Brook or whatever, like, yeah, oh, what what are these Muslims coming

27:58

27 minutes, 58 seconds

in or whatever, but if if they've got a like a flat tire on the side of the road, the country people are first to pull up and help them out, make sure

28:06

28 minutes, 6 seconds

they got a place to stay. Uh whereas probably like someone who might write something on Twitter like, "We got to

28:14

28 minutes, 14 seconds

help these Muslims out or whatever." They'll just drive past it, drive past them, you know? So, it's like, who's better, you know? No one's better, you know? We're all [ __ ]

28:23

28 minutes, 23 seconds

in a way. Yeah. I I that's the human dichotomy though, isn't it? We're all a little bit good, we're all a little bit bad.

28:28

28 minutes, 28 seconds

Yeah, you're talking about sort of like as you as you get older. I definitely agree with that. As you get older, you you do have definitely a different

28:36

28 minutes, 36 seconds

viewpoint of the world. Um going back to that Rodney Rude joke, do you remember that joke at all or or is that something that you're not familiar with?

28:43

28 minutes, 43 seconds

Can't remember, dude. I I listen to a lot of Rodney Roode when I was a kid and uh yeah, I can't remember that one. What was that one? Literally, he said he was

28:51

28 minutes, 51 seconds

a kid from the country and he thought Schweps was scoopies.

28:56

28 minutes, 56 seconds

All right. [laughter] Yeah. Yeah. Um I've My mate found a Rodney RDE shirt for me and I I wore it the other night at the comedy festival.

29:04

29 minutes, 4 seconds

Uh and yeah, everyone loved it. Yeah. Sick. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Living legend. Yeah.

29:11

29 minutes, 11 seconds

So, you talking before about how on earth do these little shops make money? How do you make ends meet as a comedian?

29:17

29 minutes, 17 seconds

And without going into obviously like numbers in terms of ticks and tax, how do you make it all work? Yeah.

29:23

29 minutes, 23 seconds

Oh man, I'm I'm very lucky. I'm so lucky. I'm always just scraping uh bits and pieces together. Uh thank god I have

29:30

29 minutes, 30 seconds

a very supportive wife who's helped me out. But I do have I I haven't had a casual job in about uh what a year and a half.

29:38

29 minutes, 38 seconds

Sorry man. Just I'm going to interrupt you there. Yeah. 100%. Let's just give a shout out to the ladies. Honestly, like you need someone behind you moving you forward. Yeah. Sorry.

29:46

29 minutes, 46 seconds

Oh yeah, man. Oh yeah, I'd be dead if it wasn't for her. [laughter] Yeah, it's Yeah, it So, yeah, there's that. But also, I'm on a lot of Pilot Viagra ads.

29:58

29 minutes, 58 seconds

I'm the guy on that. Uh that helps me so much. And then how did you get that gig?

30:04

30 minutes, 4 seconds

Oh, some they just reached out to me on Instagram. Yeah. Yeah. So, they're like, "You want to do this?" And I'm like, "Oh, yeah, no problem." the money was

30:10

30 minutes, 10 seconds

right. So I I I didn't want to take it at first, but I was getting married, so I thought, "Oh, look, this this will pay for the a lot of the wedding." And I

30:19

30 minutes, 19 seconds

said to them, "Oh, look, if you look after me, I'll do it for this lower price." And they um usually people don't

30:26

30 minutes, 26 seconds

look after you. Usually they just take the money and run and you never hear from them again. But these guys, they kept giving me stuff. So, and they're

30:35

30 minutes, 35 seconds

really bunch of nice guys and and the ads are Do you mean Viagra? Is that what you're talking about? Yeah. Yeah. Pilot. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

30:42

30 minutes, 42 seconds

Yeah. They do like hair loss and and they come on by looking after you. Were they giving you Viagra? Is that what you're talking Oh, no. No. No. You have to get it

30:50

30 minutes, 50 seconds

prescribed. One of the guys got into a lot of trouble. Like one of the directors or something cuz he was just giving out Viagra. And they were like, "Dude, you can't do this. It needs to be prescribed." Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

31:00

31 minutes

[laughter]

31:01

31 minutes, 1 second

I think he was like taking it or something from the uh helping himself. No. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

31:08

31 minutes, 8 seconds

Oh, no, no, no, dude. Yeah. Yeah. I haven't got to that stage yet, but I probably will need it sooner or later. Yeah. Yeah, for sure.

31:14

31 minutes, 14 seconds

This is actually a question from my buddy who's a massive fan of yours. So, shout out to Anthony. And his question was, "What's more lucrative, social media, standup, or ads?" [laughter]

31:23

31 minutes, 23 seconds

Man, it's so hard because I've got all I've got all three things boiling at once. So, I got like um Facebook started paying per view uh last year. So, that's

31:32

31 minutes, 32 seconds

when I started really ramping up. I would do three country town or or suburb videos a week and but now I do I try to

31:40

31 minutes, 40 seconds

do one every day because it's like lotto. You just never know which one's going to hit and when they do hit you're like, "Oh, cool." It's not much. You're probably

31:48

31 minutes, 48 seconds

getting Well, I'm not even what I've got 20,000 followers on Facebook. So, some of those videos go good, but you're looking for around3 to $1,000 a month.

31:57

31 minutes, 57 seconds

So, 300 bucks to $1,000, you know, extra a month. So, it's not much, but it's like trying to just pay rent or food or whatever.

32:06

32 minutes, 6 seconds

And then usually I'll get a gig worth that can be I'll get a couple in a month or sometimes I'll have heaps that could be two to $1,000. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

32:18

32 minutes, 18 seconds

Yeah. So, there's always just come off you just come off the comedy festival. Do you want to talk to us about the the comedy festival? Cuz you you were selling out some of your shows on that I saw online.

32:27

32 minutes, 27 seconds

Yeah. I had a great year this year. sold out like what 10 from 13 shows. So So yeah, that was Yeah. So it's good.

32:35

32 minutes, 35 seconds

It's really good. So that's good. That's that's a that's a good that's a decent amount of money. But time for our next break and we'll be right back. It is time to take a break

Thank you to US Sports Cards Australia for your ongoing love and support. And we're back and we're going to continue our conversation about the economics of being a comedian.

33:52

33 minutes, 52 seconds

It's good like for comedians, but yeah, I think for the average working man, they're like, I wouldn't even sneeze at this. [laughter]

34:00

34 minutes

So, I am doing what I love and I love it. However, I can never brag about money cuz it's still I think my ways

34:08

34 minutes, 8 seconds

would be like lower middle class. I think like enough like enough. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And it comes in waves. Yeah.

34:16

34 minutes, 16 seconds

Yeah.

34:16

34 minutes, 16 seconds

Yeah. So, so yeah. Yeah. But it's good when the money's good. It's so good.

34:20

34 minutes, 20 seconds

It's incredible. Like, but when it's when it's sometimes it's three months with no money, like which is incredibly

34:27

34 minutes, 27 seconds

stressful on my wife and me and I don't feel good. But it gets you get a little bit more each year, you know. Yeah.

34:34

34 minutes, 34 seconds

Yeah. If you were a salaried employee and then you start working for yourself, that's one thing that no one can explain to you until you start to do it. the

34:42

34 minutes, 42 seconds

money isn't there all the time and you have to keep working whether you're getting paid or not and then sometimes the money will be there and sometimes that's won't. I've been

34:50

34 minutes, 50 seconds

working for myself now for technically it's it's seven this is my seventh year but really I've only done it full-time for three years. I was so naive going

34:58

34 minutes, 58 seconds

into it doing your own taxes, doing your own payroll or your own soup. All these things you take for granted when you are working for the man or working for the for a company it's it really is.

35:09

35 minutes, 9 seconds

It's horrible. And I'm I'm working on a big project at the moment like a big like a big project that might go through but it might not go through. But even if

35:17

35 minutes, 17 seconds

it does go through, if they give us this contract or whatever, maybe it's just a normal person's wage for two to three

35:25

35 minutes, 25 seconds

years. Like, let's say it's two or 30 hund grand or whatever, you know, but and then that's good to get that all at once, but then you've got to make it

35:34

35 minutes, 34 seconds

and then you just got to keep fighting to get it again like for another maybe eight or nine years to get that again.

35:42

35 minutes, 42 seconds

It's terrible, dude. So, you just like, you know what I mean? like I it it I'm incredibly blessed and it's great but at the same time you're like uh I really

35:51

35 minutes, 51 seconds

think maybe I might get a job sooner or later just just to for a peace of mind for a while, you know, just Yeah. Yeah. Take a bit of stress off you. Yeah.

35:58

35 minutes, 58 seconds

Um can we talk about Kill Tony for a second because in my opinion that's probably the best thing that's happening in comedy in the present time. But also

36:06

36 minutes, 6 seconds

I can't really think of when something else like this has been done that's been so dynamic. And I also think too it captures modern culture in that they're

36:13

36 minutes, 13 seconds

one minute sets. Yeah, it's incredibly random and everyone loves like what's in the box, that sort of randomness of that. And so, yeah,

36:21

36 minutes, 21 seconds

there's that part of it, but then you've got obviously Tony who's a comedic genius and then they have all the guests coming on and then sometimes they

36:29

36 minutes, 29 seconds

actually do uncover, you know, fantastic comics. So, I I I really enjoy comedy, but I enjoy Kill Tony a lot. Like, I I

36:38

36 minutes, 38 seconds

genuinely think it's just an absolutely brilliant idea. So, can you talk to us a little bit like that? And maybe are you considering going over to Austin and

36:46

36 minutes, 46 seconds

trying to get your name pulled out of the hat?

36:48

36 minutes, 48 seconds

Everyone tells me, dude, like I should go do it. A guy really I was really bored with comedy years ago and I hated

36:55

36 minutes, 55 seconds

it. I hated all the formulas of it and the way it worked. It disgusted me. I think I'd been just going for too long.

37:03

37 minutes, 3 seconds

And then Casey Rocket came along and he changed changed my life. I was like, "Wow, this guy's doing something new and exciting." and I couldn't get enough of

37:11

37 minutes, 11 seconds

him and uh I was very lucky enough to open for him and he it was it was really cool hanging with him but at the same

37:19

37 minutes, 19 seconds

time I think I I freaked him out too much just at how much I how much I knew about him and uh he's a very like chill

37:27

37 minutes, 27 seconds

chill guy and I'm just there fan girl all over him uh and yeah yeah freaked me out a bit but yeah people are very divided on this whole Rogan sphere thing

37:36

37 minutes, 36 seconds

you know obviously you've got a lot of comics speaking out now saying it's a boy club. Um there's not diversity.

37:43

37 minutes, 43 seconds

These comedians aren't funny. And a lot of that criticism is warranted, but at

37:50

37 minutes, 50 seconds

the same time, I love all of the Rogan Sphere stuff because what it's done for comedy. And it's really Can I can I pull

37:58

37 minutes, 58 seconds

you up there? Cuz actually I disagree with that. Why isn't it diverse enough?

38:02

38 minutes, 2 seconds

I don't get that. I think it's like it's hard because there needed to be a change and these guys brought the change, you

38:09

38 minutes, 9 seconds

know, like a lot of it's against woke culture, all this kind of woke stuff. I Oh, sure. The comedic undertone as

38:17

38 minutes, 17 seconds

opposed to the people who are actually on the show.

38:19

38 minutes, 19 seconds

Yeah. I think like you know these guys are fighting these guys are fighting to say the word [ __ ] and all that kind of stuff which is uh you know like I'm like

38:29

38 minutes, 29 seconds

I don't want to hurt anybody and it's not a pedestal that I would jump on at the same time when that all this Rogan

38:37

38 minutes, 37 seconds

sphere stuff came about kill Tony everything like that it needed to happen there was a time when yeah it was just

38:43

38 minutes, 43 seconds

like well I don't know like comedy is not risky anymore it's because that that's that's But Jim Jeffrey said, you always got to you your

38:52

38 minutes, 52 seconds

job, well some comedians jobs, but most I would say is you you cross the line. You cross the line not to hurt people.

39:00

39 minutes

You cross the line into the realm of what other people are thinking about but what they don't say or what people

39:09

39 minutes, 9 seconds

shouldn't think about and you're bringing light to those crazy thoughts. Inner thoughts.

39:15

39 minutes, 15 seconds

Sometimes those crazy thoughts are political and risky and they have to be talked about. I'm I'm not that kind of

39:23

39 minutes, 23 seconds

comic. I do I did I have used shock humor in the past. I I I and I I love it, but I had to get away from it because I felt like I was using it as a

39:32

39 minutes, 32 seconds

crut. And sometimes I think yeah, it needed to come along because comedians now do Madison Square Garden. They're

39:39

39 minutes, 39 seconds

selling so many tickets. And it's all because of these guys that just like really loved comedy. Really loved comedy, you know, like really I don't

39:48

39 minutes, 48 seconds

I don't agree with Joe Rogan politically. I don't really listen to the podcast, but I love what he's done for comedy. If I saw him, I'm not going

39:55

39 minutes, 55 seconds

to talk [ __ ] on him. I'm going to be like, "Dude, what you've done for us is so amazing." However, these guys kind of

40:02

40 minutes, 2 seconds

policed the woke people, I guess. And then now I guess there are other people like hey it's cool what you've done but

40:10

40 minutes, 10 seconds

let's let's bring it down to shade like all this stuff is somehow you know politically you know you you you know

40:18

40 minutes, 18 seconds

what you want trans people to to walk around and not not get called names. You want them to have a free life and uh you

40:26

40 minutes, 26 seconds

know, you know, you want someone that is they have a family member that is [ __ ] or whatever and they can go

40:34

40 minutes, 34 seconds

watch a comedy show and they don't feel that hurt, you know, or whatever. At the same time, they might go there and they're like, "Oh, this guy's talking about this in a an intelligent way.

40:46

40 minutes, 46 seconds

Great. This is what I'm this is funny.

40:48

40 minutes, 48 seconds

I've He's He's talking about someone that's [ __ ] or whatever and and he's doing it in a clever way and it's crossing the line and that's funny. But

40:56

40 minutes, 56 seconds

there wasn't there has been a time in that kind of kill Tony's fear where it's not even clever. It's just like saying

41:03

41 minutes, 3 seconds

it and you're like ah that's you're just and people laugh because it's like the shock but they're not it's not on a deeper level, you know?

41:11

41 minutes, 11 seconds

Well, I mean my observation of that show is they've completely removed the guardrails. like there is there is no guardrail so you can say whatever you want and then to your point about people laughing.

41:22

41 minutes, 22 seconds

Well, that's actually not always true because some of them go up there who have actually like never done comedy before. They're genuinely nervous to the

41:29

41 minutes, 29 seconds

point that they can't deliver on what they want to talk about and some and some of them just aren't funny. And so I agree with all your points and you're you're right. The thing is it's like how

41:37

41 minutes, 37 seconds

do you walk the line between being funny, being risky and then not offending people and and it's actually possible maybe you can't do that at all.

41:44

41 minutes, 44 seconds

No, it's not possible. And there you need these guys. You need them.

41:50

41 minutes, 50 seconds

You need you need these guys in comedy. You need kill Tony. You need you need them. Uh because they push the

41:58

41 minutes, 58 seconds

agenda. But like but also you need the woke people. You need people who who are sensitive. You need them. Otherwise

42:05

42 minutes, 5 seconds

it either gets too sensitive or it gets too offensive. And people people get hurt both ways. You know, comedy becomes

42:12

42 minutes, 12 seconds

boring. But also, man, it's saying that though, there are people you got like Jesseleneck or whatever who always push the line, but they push it in a clever way. It's pushed in a clever way.

42:22

42 minutes, 22 seconds

However, at the same time, I I can't criticize either because I do both things. Some you you might see me next year and I'm saying a bunch of offensive

42:30

42 minutes, 30 seconds

[ __ ] It's just Yeah. Yeah.

42:31

42 minutes, 31 seconds

You know, I'm at this point in time in my life where I, you know, get older and I see things from all perspectives. So I don't want to offend anybody, but at the

42:39

42 minutes, 39 seconds

same time, you know, last year la last year's show or the year before one, I just made it was full of Port Arthur jokes and Joseph Fritzell jokes and you

42:48

42 minutes, 48 seconds

know that's that's bad. It's like

42:50

42 minutes, 50 seconds

[laughter]

42:51

42 minutes, 51 seconds

if it's clever. Yeah.

42:54

42 minutes, 54 seconds

So for our American friends, Port Arthur is a reference to Martin Bryant who is I think he still holds the the infamous title being the most the highest

43:01

43 minutes, 1 second

headcount in terms of being a serial killer. Joseph Fritzell was a man. He wasn't in Australia, though. And he held his family captive and was practicing

43:10

43 minutes, 10 seconds

incest. That was that was his angle, wasn't it? Yeah.

43:13

43 minutes, 13 seconds

Yeah. That's terrible. [laughter] Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

43:16

43 minutes, 16 seconds

So, you're definitely pushing boundaries on that. I mean, for the record, I would love to see you on Kill Tony. Actually, I think you would do really well because of your very peculiar Australian comedy.

43:26

43 minutes, 26 seconds

I think you'd do fantastic. Again, for the record, I just want to put this out here. I actually I did ask you to do a Kill Tony minute, but you said you

43:33

43 minutes, 33 seconds

you're unable to do that. So, I'm I'm a little bit sad on that. Looping back to Joe Rogan though, I actually implore you to listen to his recent episode. He had

43:41

43 minutes, 41 seconds

a Hall come on and you'll know who this guy is because he was in Coming from America and that was like that's our generation of comedy. He is in his 70s

43:50

43 minutes, 50 seconds

now and he is bright as a button. He looks very well and healthy and he's still doing standup comedy.

43:57

43 minutes, 57 seconds

That's sick, man. Oh, you know, like don't get me wrong, I still I still listen back to the uh I listen to the one uh the Tarantino one's great. The

44:05

44 minutes, 5 seconds

guy who was in one of the Iron Man movies that's now like a scientist.

44:09

44 minutes, 9 seconds

Who's that guy? He's like an actor and Robert Downey Jr.

44:12

44 minutes, 12 seconds

No, he was in um he was in the first Iron Man, then he got replaced by uh Don Cheetel. Oh, I'm sorry. No, I'm not too sure.

44:19

44 minutes, 19 seconds

No, it's cool. And I love nerding out about comedy. Like my mates and I, we're all like we we we hate talking about comedy. We're we all we all pretend that

44:27

44 minutes, 27 seconds

we don't like it, you know, it's kind of a bit of a front like h I got to do this gig or whatever, but then sometimes if

44:34

44 minutes, 34 seconds

we're all in the right mood or I'm with a mate that really wants to get into the to the reads, I'll Yeah. So that's when I put on something like Rogan or or

44:43

44 minutes, 43 seconds

Normand and Sam Morell, their podcast, Might Be Drunk. I Yeah. Put that on and because they really get into the reads.

44:51

44 minutes, 51 seconds

Uh, and I love listening to all the the way a joke works, trying to predict things and everything like that. So, yeah. Yeah, dude. It's great.

44:59

44 minutes, 59 seconds

All right. Great. So, this is uh part three of a segment and it's called the next rookie card to pop to 1,000. So, build a list of players that I think

45:07

45 minutes, 7 seconds

might go to $1,000 and then obviously the ones at the bottom are going to be less likely. And now we're sort of getting towards the top. So, that's a

45:16

45 minutes, 16 seconds

bit of a background on it. So, at number six, we've got Tyrese Hallebertton.

45:19

45 minutes, 19 seconds

Tyres Hallebertton is currently trading at $325.

45:23

45 minutes, 23 seconds

His silver PSA 10 has a population of $454. So in terms of context, that's relatively low in terms of modern standards. The reason why Hala Burton is

45:32

45 minutes, 32 seconds

so low at the moment is because he tore his Achilles basically 12 months ago. I think there's a lot of I think there's a lot of upside in this card because the Pacers are going to get a very high pick

45:41

45 minutes, 41 seconds

in this draft and there's potential that they could get this high pick and immediately be again an Eastern Conference Finals contender or maybe

45:48

45 minutes, 48 seconds

even NBA Finals contender again. So, I actually I rate this card really highly.

45:53

45 minutes, 53 seconds

I think this is a very safe purchase at the moment. In terms of this card getting to $1,000, I I'm going to give this a seven 7.5 out

46:01

46 minutes, 1 second

of 10. But in terms of just buying this card for a 12-month hold, I'm going to give this an 8.5 or 9 out of 10.

46:07

46 minutes, 7 seconds

Okay. So, Tyrese, he's like he's going good, but then people can buy this at a low price and then if Tyrese gets picked

46:15

46 minutes, 15 seconds

for the Pacers or whatever or or he he's Achilles he, you know, comes back, then this card will rise up again, will it?

46:22

46 minutes, 22 seconds

Okay. Gotcha. So essentially what's happening with the modern card market now is that it's almost like a stock market where things are going well for

46:31

46 minutes, 31 seconds

players then the cards will go up and you can see here in June 25 that was when he was in the NBA finals and then after that it definitely did go down. So

46:39

46 minutes, 39 seconds

you could have picked one up for 200 bucks in October of 25. And that's to do with him having an injury. And then you can see here if you zoom into the last

46:47

46 minutes, 47 seconds

say 3 months. Yeah. It's up 10% because people are starting to get back on board and and buy a few more of his. Cool man.

46:53

46 minutes, 53 seconds

Next on our list is Paulo Banchero.

46:57

46 minutes, 57 seconds

Paulo Banchero was a former number one overall pick. His silver PSA 10 is currently trading at $252. And if you're looking at the last 12 months worth of data, that's actually down quite a lot.

47:07

47 minutes, 7 seconds

he was trading up to $428.

47:10

47 minutes, 10 seconds

This is more of a personal choice for me because I just think he's got fantastic talent in terms of being able to be a primary scoring option. He is absolutely

47:19

47 minutes, 19 seconds

outstanding. I'm a little bit confused as to why he is down and actually I wonder if some people have just taken money out of him and put it into other

47:26

47 minutes, 26 seconds

cards. For example, Kate Cunningham and WBY. They're the two really hot ones at the moment. Maybe I've got these around in the wrong order. Maybe I should have had this guy in the Hallebertton spot.

47:35

47 minutes, 35 seconds

But at the same time, I really do like this as a purchase at the moment.

47:39

47 minutes, 39 seconds

Actually, if we look in to the last 3 months, he's actually down 21%. The population on this is actually a bit higher in the Hallebertton. I'm actually

47:47

47 minutes, 47 seconds

talking myself into this. I've got these round the wrong way, but that's totally fine. I'm going to give this a 6.5 out of 10 to get to $1,000 in terms of it

47:55

47 minutes, 55 seconds

being a buy at the moment. Actually, I'm gonna say hold off on this one because I do wonder in the next six months, particularly if the Magic get booted out

48:02

48 minutes, 2 seconds

in the first round, I'll give this a four out of 10 for the next 12 months.

48:06

48 minutes, 6 seconds

Cool. So, uh, wow, that's Yeah, Paulo Vanero, that's a good name. And that's a be that's a beautiful card, too, man.

48:13

48 minutes, 13 seconds

Was there a big, um, I was in Perth a couple of months ago doing shows and was there a big convention there? Cuz, uh, you should get this comedian on. He

48:21

48 minutes, 21 seconds

loves LeBron James and stuff, Cole Legacy.

48:23

48 minutes, 23 seconds

Okay. and he went to a card show and he bought some cards. He would know about it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Right. Yeah. Yeah.

48:29

48 minutes, 29 seconds

I would love to have a chat to anyone that wants to talk about cards around here for sure.

48:33

48 minutes, 33 seconds

And he'll talk forever. He's from somewhere in the UK. Got a real deep Scouseer accent. Always wears basketball Yeah. Always wears basketball uh jerseys on stage. Yeah. Yeah.

48:43

48 minutes, 43 seconds

Actually, this sounds awesome.

48:45

48 minutes, 45 seconds

[laughter]

48:46

48 minutes, 46 seconds

Yeah. Yeah. You get him. I'll I'll put you in touch with him. He'll talk about this for hours.

48:51

48 minutes, 51 seconds

Actually, I would love that, man. I only know a lot about old basketball because of co watch the last dance of course

48:58

48 minutes, 58 seconds

which is yeah just like a masterpiece even if you don't like basketball it's a masterpiece 100% but then my roommate and I he's another

49:07

49 minutes, 7 seconds

comedian Ben Knight we got obsessed with everything ESPN did I had this job during co hosing down stadium seats for

49:16

49 minutes, 16 seconds

the council and I would just listen to the ESPN podcast 30 for30 30 30 for 30 is awesome, man. Yeah,

49:24

49 minutes, 24 seconds

just like the um what the Sterling Tapes incredible uh podcast, you know, about the the the Clippers guy or whatever.

49:32

49 minutes, 32 seconds

Watched all of the 30 for30 basketball ones. The the Detroit uh what was it? The Detroit uh crushes.

49:40

49 minutes, 40 seconds

Yeah. But what were they called? The u the bad boys. The Detroit City Bad Boys.

49:44

49 minutes, 44 seconds

Was that the one when they went into the stadium and they were fighting with the fans?

49:48

49 minutes, 48 seconds

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Just that kind of stuff, you know. He had so many good players. It's got like when it introduces the players, it shows them like banging bricks together and [ __ ]

49:57

49 minutes, 57 seconds

It's so sick. Like, you know what I mean? Like like the early Dennis Rodman.

50:02

50 minutes, 2 seconds

I didn't know Dennis Rodman had a history before the Bulls, you know, which was awesome.

50:07

50 minutes, 7 seconds

And then yeah, the Dennis Rodman 30 for 30 years. Incredible dude. So that really invigorated my basketball knowledge. I was obsessed with it. Yeah,

50:16

50 minutes, 16 seconds

Dennis Rodman in the Detroit Pistons is my favorite version of Rodman because he was this like young hyper mobile athlete that was just intent on just making

50:25

50 minutes, 25 seconds

people's life on the bus difficult. And then as he got older, he wasn't as mobile. He was a fantastic rebounder.

50:31

50 minutes, 31 seconds

But then he had all that dating Madonna and dying his hair and partying and trying to balance his alcoholism with playing in the NBA. It was I don't know,

50:39

50 minutes, 39 seconds

just from a pure basketball standpoint, him in Detroit was just amazing to watch, honestly. And actually some of the kids that I coach, I actually show them when we're working on defensive

50:47

50 minutes, 47 seconds

stuff, I will show them clips of Dennis Rodman at that age playing defense because he literally was just like a fundamental machine playing playing defense. Yeah.

50:55

50 minutes, 55 seconds

Well, it was so cool to me because like I love am not focused with anything. In comedy, I do get focused sometimes or when I'm editing a video, I'll just get

51:03

51 minutes, 3 seconds

in the zone and I'm there. But I love it. A guy like Dennis Rodman who couldn't function in any part of his life. He would even when he didn't

51:10

51 minutes, 10 seconds

party, he was drinking milk in nightclubs and wearing dresses and just deeply confused about his life. And you think, well, this guy has no no

51:19

51 minutes, 19 seconds

motivation at all, nothing. But then they said he was the only guy that would watch the other team on tapes before a

51:26

51 minutes, 26 seconds

game, like studying it, you know, which is so crazy, you know, like I I would have never picked that. I thought that guy would just go with the flow. I

51:34

51 minutes, 34 seconds

I think athletically though his work ethic was amazing. Like he would he would play an NBA game and then he would go and lift weights afterwards and

51:41

51 minutes, 41 seconds

then he would go and do cardio. Just that type of insane work ethic. You know what I mean?

51:46

51 minutes, 46 seconds

I wouldn't have picked that at all. Like I wouldn't have picked that. It's so cool. It's just so cool to me. It's just such an inspirational guy. Yeah.

51:52

51 minutes, 52 seconds

Yeah. All righty. We have taken a huge segue here, but I think I can get my head back together. Coming in at number four is Jaylen Brown. And he's a

52:00

52 minutes

personal favorite player of mine. This season he averaged 28.7 points, 6.9 rebounds, 5.1 assists on a very tidy 47%

52:08

52 minutes, 8 seconds

from the field. Previous finals MVP, he is currently trading at $396, which actually I personally think in

52:17

52 minutes, 17 seconds

terms of his talent being up here, his pricing is just not matched at all to his talent. I think this is a very undervalued card. Population on this is

52:25

52 minutes, 25 seconds

actually increasing, but it's still very low at 312. Over the last three months, he's actually up 26%. I think this is a fantastic buy. I'm going to give this a

52:33

52 minutes, 33 seconds

7.5, 8.5 out of 10. My only thing about this card is will it get to $1,000. He doesn't have that hobby popularity. He

52:40

52 minutes, 40 seconds

doesn't have that pop in comparison to some of the other players that actually we've even spoke about last week, like LaMelo Ball, for example. Yeah, really tough one. However, I do think this is a

52:49

52 minutes, 49 seconds

very good long-term hold. Nick, what's your analysis on on Jaylen Brown?

52:54

52 minutes, 54 seconds

Yeah, he uh looks good. Looks like a nice card. pretty steady. Pretty steady.

52:59

52 minutes, 59 seconds

Like he's not jumping all over the place like the other guys. No, you know, and not as many sales, too. That's the other thing, man. But actually, jeez, when you look at it like that, in the last 12 months, he's actually up 86%.

53:10

53 minutes, 10 seconds

Sick. Yeah, that's a good one. That's probably the best one I've seen.

53:13

53 minutes, 13 seconds

You reckon that's your favorite pick so far? Yeah, I think so.

53:16

53 minutes, 16 seconds

Let's go with that. Nick's recommendation is to go with Jaylen Brown. Hell yeah.

53:21

53 minutes, 21 seconds

All right. This is a story and this is coming out from someone who I've got a lot of time for on Instagram. This is from Adam Gray at the real 27 guy. Now

53:31

53 minutes, 31 seconds

what he's done here is he's done a summary of the super refractors that we've had from 2004 to 2009. There is a total of 1,429

53:40

53 minutes, 40 seconds

superractors. In 2025 alone there is 1,653.

53:45

53 minutes, 45 seconds

Nick, I think you're the perfect one to comment on this one.

53:49

53 minutes, 49 seconds

What the hell is a supertor? Excellent question, my friend. Cut. The same card will come out in different variations.

53:54

53 minutes, 54 seconds

So, there'll be there'll be a silver one. There'll be a a wave one. There'll be one called a superfrator.

54:00

54 minutes

There'll be one called a Xfractor. And some of them are numbered. So, numbered to 200 to 100 to 50 to 10 to five. The

54:08

54 minutes, 8 seconds

ones numbered to one are called a superractor. And they're a one of one.

54:12

54 minutes, 12 seconds

So, ah, highly collectible, very hard to find. Yeah, I'm guessing Pokemon kicked this off as

54:20

54 minutes, 20 seconds

well, right? Like Pokemon reinvigorated cards a lot, I guess.

54:25

54 minutes, 25 seconds

So, Pokemon actually is almost a polar opposite of sports cards because it's not tied to something that's up and down like how, you know, we're looking at the

54:34

54 minutes, 34 seconds

graphs before. So, like they get injured, their cards go down, they play well, they go up. There's there's less of that sort of stock market with Pokémon, but the cards definitely do go

54:42

54 minutes, 42 seconds

up and down in Pokémon. And the other thing that's actually very different in Pokemon, there's no numbered cards at all in Pokemon. And obviously there's no

54:49

54 minutes, 49 seconds

autographs, there's no memorabilia. So yeah, it's a lot more complicated basketball.

54:55

54 minutes, 55 seconds

Well, yeah. And look, maybe we need a third person on here to provide this commentary, but I don't know enough about Pokemon to probably answer that question properly. But that's my

55:03

55 minutes, 3 seconds

observation of the Pokemon world. Yeah, neither do I. Uh, but man, no. So what?

55:08

55 minutes, 8 seconds

There's there was a lot more super fractors, but I mean there was it was like limited, but I guess in 2025

55:16

55 minutes, 16 seconds

it's not as limited. They've just put these out in one year, like 1,600, and that devalues a supertorractor, I guess.

55:23

55 minutes, 23 seconds

I think you know more about the hobby than you realize. Yeah. So, 100% that means they've increased the print run exponentially and yeah, 100%. I think

55:31

55 minutes, 31 seconds

you're right. I think these one of ones will be worth a lot less going to the future. I think the only caveat to that is that cuz it's first year of the Tops

55:39

55 minutes, 39 seconds

having their license back. Even though you are 100% correct that there's so many more of these than what there previously was. I like for example that LeBron James one. I think that's already

55:48

55 minutes, 48 seconds

recently sold. I think that sold for like $300,000. But um WA Yeah. Yeah.

55:53

55 minutes, 53 seconds

Jesus. Yeah. Well, but then again, you got the whole world. 1,600 isn't much.

55:58

55 minutes, 58 seconds

[laughter]

56:00

56 minutes

That is not much at all. That is That is not many people. So, so yeah. Yeah. I don't know, man. Yeah. Yeah. Uh that

56:07

56 minutes, 7 seconds

that seems I think it seems okay to do 1,600.

56:11

56 minutes, 11 seconds

[laughter] Um only other basketball memory I have is I played basketball for a bit and I had to get a pair of shoes.

56:20

56 minutes, 20 seconds

Okay. Yeah. And we went to Mory to the clothes shop.

56:25

56 minutes, 25 seconds

It was the only It was one of those uh for those overseas in when you have country towns, they have the country

56:33

56 minutes, 33 seconds

workear kind of at the front and then they have the surf shop up the back.

56:37

56 minutes, 37 seconds

Even though there's no surfing like we're 700ks from the beach, but every country town has a surf shop. Anyway, I went up the back to get a pair of shoes

56:45

56 minutes, 45 seconds

and people were like, "You got to get these new shoes. Feler Grant Hill wears them. Grant Hill is the king. You got to

56:52

56 minutes, 52 seconds

get Feler shoes. He's the next Jordan." Yeah.

56:55

56 minutes, 55 seconds

And I bought the the coolest pair of filler shoes, dude. They were black and white. They were huge.

57:00

57 minutes

And do they have sort of like a blue or a black triangle that was kind of like over the side of the shoe? Might have. I can't remember.

57:08

57 minutes, 8 seconds

Cuz I had the I had the same Fer cuz Fers were also like half the price of Nike. So Fer paid Grant Hill insane amount of money to represent the stuff.

57:16

57 minutes, 16 seconds

Also too, I think the league they were trying to build the league around Grant Hill. like he had that huge Sprite ad and then he had a whole bunch of injuries and he sort of disappeared for

57:24

57 minutes, 24 seconds

a few years which is actually like a shame when you look back at it.

57:27

57 minutes, 27 seconds

Yeah, man. No, I had these um they look like those Reebok ones with the swirl or like the the jagged ones. I'm trying to

57:35

57 minutes, 35 seconds

look see if I can find them now. But yeah, man. Anyway, I got these feel shoes, dude. And they were sick. They're incredible. I loved them so much. I

57:45

57 minutes, 45 seconds

played terribly. I was not a good basketball player at all. I was awful.

57:48

57 minutes, 48 seconds

But so wearing Grant Hill shoes, that didn't like prop your points up.

57:52

57 minutes, 52 seconds

Yeah. And I didn't even Everyone else told me that like Grant Hill ruled and but I didn't know anything about Gran Hill. No way. I I didn't know [ __ ] about

58:00

58 minutes

Grant Hill. So yeah. Yeah. I was uh I I just just fully um Yeah. fully under peer pressure to get these filler shoes.

58:08

58 minutes, 8 seconds

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But yeah, they were cool, dude. I loved them. They were so comfortable and they looked so cool.

58:15

58 minutes, 15 seconds

like they were they were huge black and white shoes kind of busy and uh Yeah.

58:21

58 minutes, 21 seconds

Yeah. Yeah. I'm trying to find them here but I can't find them. Anyway, I think they marketed those shoes a lot and they were pushing those out to every shop that they possibly could.

58:30

58 minutes, 30 seconds

Yeah. Yeah, man. So, yeah. And I always wondered what happened to Grant Hill cuz he he he did go great, but he didn't

58:38

58 minutes, 38 seconds

explode like I thought he would have been a a guy that everyone remembers. But yeah.

58:43

58 minutes, 43 seconds

Oh, it was injuries. It was as simple as that. There was literally there was nothing to it other than that. So, did you have that pair? Is that the ones you had,

58:51

58 minutes, 51 seconds

dude? I don't think so. I think it was I had these ones.

58:55

58 minutes, 55 seconds

Ah, yeah. They're sick. Yeah. Yeah. I think I had the ones up the top there where your mouse was just was a variation of that, I think. But yeah,

59:03

59 minutes, 3 seconds

dude. Yeah, it was it was cool. It was a great time. It was such an exciting time uh in my life to uh Yeah. to get a pair of basketball shoes and Yeah, I was awful. Yeah. Yeah.
