Look at this guy.

Look at this. Look at the hitting. It's just fucking nuts. Shh, shh, shh, shh. And I'm sure a lot of head to head collisions, too. So I went to this practice of one of these teams just got back and they were and I brought in American football. And I'm like, do you guys have any idea? And they're like, zero. I'm like, come on. You sort of have to know something. And they're like, zero.

So I get they just know nothing. Like, how much cricket do you know? Zero. Okay, if I had to gun your head and said one rule of cricket, could you do it? No. Could you do it? No, you couldn't.

Stay in to what? The ball has to stay in to what? The pitch. We don't know shit. Do you understand how fucking popular cricket is? Gigantic. Bigger than football. Huge. Go to India or Sri Lanka. These people go nuts. In Australia... They have 100,000 people stadiums for Aussie rules football. So I go and I'm like, you know, I'm meeting these guys. And these guys I think are big stars.

I don't know them. But, you know, this is a major Aussie rules football team. And I got the football. And so I line them up, 11 against 11. And they're really kind of starting to get into it. And they're lined up, center, guards, tackles, ends. And I'm like, all right. So what do you think? They're like, yeah, we don't like it. I go, well, let me help. Tell me what this does for you.

All right, you're the center. If you were doing this in American football, you'd be making $6 million to $7 million a year. You're the tackle on blindside. You're making $40 million a year protecting Patrick Mahomes. Okay, you're Patrick Mahomes. And I'm telling them how much money they would make because these guys make no money. There's no money in it. Which is crazy. Crazy.

And then they have, do you know tall poppy syndrome? Have you heard of this? Yes. There's no ego. These guys, they're huge. They're members of these super successful teams, but they don't have the ego of American athletes. And they don't get the attention. And it's tall poppy syndrome. They're culturally conditioned to not brag and to not boast and to be humble. And I don't know.

They like to see people get knocked down when they get too big. Yeah, for sure. That's tall poppy syndrome. The tall poppy gets its head cut off, so they stay humble, which I kind of thought was kind of cool, just realizing that I was hanging out with the captain of an Aussie rules team. And I had dinner with the captain of the New Zealand All Blacks, the rugby team.
