Day as in legally?

Day as in legally?

I suppose yeah, I mean theoretically you could play it at any point, but you would technically be breaking the law right in most cases.

Yes, So there are exceptions, so nine to eighty nine New South Wales in that jurisdiction, for example, pastor Law saying that you could play two up games legally on Anzac Day. There are another couple of days are Victory in the Pacific Day which is actually August fifteenth, and Rememberance Day the eleventh eleventh. Of course you can play two up on those days legally as well, but only after midday. The funny thing in this though, you can play two up anytime you want. If you're in Broken Hill in far western New South We've got Digga Adanski with us.

We have brought in an expert, a two up expert, because we were talking about two up in the office and suddenly our fear and greed colleague Adam Lang, who you know from the weekend edition, suddenly piped up with all of these two up facts, Like you just know everything there is to know about this.

It's just learnt on the job, Michael Research, let's call it.

Because you used to work in slash manage a public house, a pub in Perth.

I did there?

We go?

So you did you have to coordinate the two up competition?

So you did you have to coordinate the two up competition?

Yes, and so obviously before midday is important because you know, it is a day of deep honor, acknowledging sacrifice that many, many made for our country, and so that part is very very important. And then you have all these service people, really a lot of them go to the pub, and a lot of their families want to celebrate with.

Them, their grandchildren many times.

Them, their grandchildren many times.

Yeah, and so yeah, you get all these pubs and venues that are licensed to sell alcohol and on this day licensed also or able to run a game of two up. So you have you know, the paddle and the two coins. That's all you need, and a bunch of people willing to bend on the outcome being either heads or tails. Or one of each, which is no one wins.

So you have you know, the paddle and the two coins. That's all you need, and a bunch of people willing to bend on the outcome being either heads or tails. Or one of each, which is no one wins.

So for those that don't know the rules of two up, there's basically two coins. They're flipped off a paddle style puddle thing, and if you get lands on two heads or two tails, there's a winner and a loser. If it's one of each, it's flipped again. So that's the rules, and people put money in and better normal well, it depends where you're doing it, but often people will take on another person. It's like on one exactly, rather than a pool of money or anything like that.

And always that's the part that always gets me. It always just feels like absolute chaos when there is just people everywhere and they're just all shouting out at each other, and somehow people just kind of find someone to bet with all better gainst and it just kind of happens and.

There's a lot of pressure on the person who's you have to.

Give it a sufficient throat, like you can't just sort of tip it over and have the coins land on the floor, you've got to really throw it up in the air, not too fast so that the coins go lost.

Person spinner a little unkind.

Person spinner a little unkind.

And it depends on how late in the day. Yeah, yeah, yeah, how vigorous that abuse actually is. But it's fascinating, isn't it. The fact that we just have this carve out for Anzac Day and for those other days that you mentioned where this is this is actually okay. It becomes a real cultural thing.

Amazing anyway, Look, we've kind of veered off topic, much like Sean will on his bike hopefully not. Have you seen the episode of Frasier when Fraser is learning to ride a bike as an adult, He never learned how to ride a bike and when it was when it was learning and he can't take his eyes off a tree or whatever it is, and because he's focused on this tree, he just rides into it every single time. And I just have this image of Sean, you out somewhere near Burke and there's this just one loan tree and.
