    My dad passed away Friday at 81, around the time this came out. I didnt even know until a couple of weeks ago that he listened to the podcast (I didnt know he knew how). He may have been listening when he passed, working around the house. He was a lifelong Chiefs fan and became a fan of New Heights. I know he liked Jaosn alot too. And it gave us something additional to talk about. Thanks guys. Sports, amd guys talking about sports, gives a lot of guys opportunities to talk more to their dads, sons, friends, etc. You do an awesome job!

Went down the Chief’s rabbit hole- watched documentaries for Mahomes , then Jason’s doc and super fan ever since for Travis and Jason ( and Kylie and 3 beautiful daughters). 70 y/o retired RN 😜. NowI love Jordan ! You guys are infectious 🥰 Have a paraplegic, sports fanatic I work with, now we have lots to talk about and he helps me understand about all sports 😊

    This episode was so much fun. My face is literally hurting from smiling the whole time.
    BTW, I also identify as an Aussie, well, because I am one, and something really needs to be done to correct that for Jordan. NZ can have its Pavlova, but they will never get our Mailata.
    One other important difference that Jordan should've mentioned was that Rugby League has 6 offensive downs, whereas Rugby Union has an unlimited number of downs. I know that may be hard to comprehend, but that's how it is.
    Edit: So apparently the Australian Prime minister, The Honorable Anthony Albanese, has just stated that Jordans Aussie citizenship will be fast tracked.
    We did it people! Something only made possible with the help of New Heights and the 92%'ers. Is there truly nothing we can't achieve? 😃

      Even that description of the differences between rugby league and union isn’t enough. They are completely different sports with big similarities. Breakdowns, set pieces all make a huge difference. 13 rugby league players who generally are broadly a similar build - whereas 15 rugby Union players who have completely different builds 1-15 as a result of scrums(mainly)

    • @EAFSQ9
      @EAFSQ9 Рік тому +1

      Correct, for rugby league - we just call the "downs" tackles, and you only get 6 from receiving the ball from a kick off. The goal is to move the ball down field to the try (end) zone, only passing backwards (no forward passes) to other players, within those 6 tackles. If a penalty is awarded to your team during play, your team will receive another set of tackles, numbered Zero through Five.
