We need Choc statues

[@matrix35]

Yeah for sure. Statues don't talk!

[@user-co9kr3qi1w]

That transition from deep conversation to Choc's career achievements was 10/10

[@LetsTrotShow]

Appreciate you!

[@jeab100]

What a great role model. Doesn't drink, doesn't smoke, doesn't do drugs and a heart of gold. You're a legend Choc.

[@sergioortega9684]

Bruh, I played basketball against Choc, while he was at Cleveland St High, and bro ' he WAS a bad boyee ' with hops, finished with 53 pts. Just for fun.

[@abdulazeem6693]

Choc has so many sporting achievements but his real legacy in my opinion is what he has done with his success for others. He has literally saved peoples lives, given a lot of his earnings from sport away to others and been a great role model for those who know the man off camera.

[@crescentwing568]

Absolute Weapon of a Sports man just think there will never ever be anyone that had such a hype as Anthony Choc Mundine if he was in today's world he would of got the Recognition he deserves 👏

[@Ik47bangbang]

[@B4kes]

I deliberately waited until I could watch this uninterrupted, knowing exactly how good it was gonna be. Top content as always Sauce! Thank you Choc, you really are The Man!! When I was a young fulla I never really understood what you meant when you said it, but now I get it bruh.

[@brandonmurphy8935]

One of the great Aussie athletes

[@adamsenel324]

[@am1.tappa1]

Bumped the Man' after Salem one nite at Hurstville 711 after over 30+ yrs grew up with this guy in Canterbury & first time playing footy with that Boyz & He was a deadset freak of nature then!! Hasn't changed!!! Weapon, Machine & most importantly as Real as they come! All Luv

[@i_love_chilli]

Nice podcast!!

[@grahamcrawford7151]

Didn’t JT get a statue? Maybe it’s the way he carries himself?

[@juliomcdermott4696]

Humility. may be the word.

[@irifikkk8489]

Choc use to go out to the same niteclub my mates ran and honestly best dude in person anyone want a photo no probz u wouldn't even know he was in the niteclub he's a chilled out bala

[@wayneburns8071]

You done well choc my my mum was born in Queensland but grew up in Redfern you should of played rugby league for Australia I no that maye

[@wayneburns8071]

Mate your the champ

[@silent1793]

I'll never forget choc four piecing darren Smith at Belmore in 90's. After that was not surprised he became a boxer.

[@tw3543]

Lol when that came up the first thing that come to mind was when he unloaded on Darren smith. Smith had the head gear at the time too I think?. Lol.

[@nick_adams672]

Anthony is a good guy

[@nibzzz123]

Choc is the best straight out

[@johnmclaine123]

Australia's greatest athlete

[@EverydayImVloggin]

😂😂😂 fuck I love the man. Such a character , love the way he ticks. I’d love to spend a day with him

[@joeyclark3995]

Australia's best athlete! Up Chock.

[@user5661]

🔥

[@playedout8945]

The reason why there isnt statues etc is the way he carries himself, terrible for PR, swearing all over the place, saying he's hard done by, was a champion footy player and boxer, but you have to play to the corporate market.

[@andrew24534]

Fook tha corporate market! He's a champ of the people.

[@wolfgangvonuce9803]

which makes his achievements even more remarkable the fact he didn't bow down and did it on his own terms. I get that he had to do deals here and there with sponsors,big brands,pay per view etc but strictly on his terms. I mean,the type of player he was and to have someone like matty johns picked over him was the last straw(at the time was completely shocking)and he went on to achieve unbelievable things.

[@acedauce5464]

No diddy😂😂

[@BigBensThaBSGD]

Thanks saucey great shit as usual

[@kosta111]

☝🏾💯

[@stevie1979]

I'm glad he has found peace within himself, but Choc converted to "non-white" Islam because he wanted to go against the "white" Christianity of Australia. Similar to Malcom X and Muhammad Ali in the US. People join what they think is the "opposite" religion as a middle finger. Both Christianity and Islam spread through violence, the reason why they're the two biggest religions. Religion isn't bad, it's just unnecessary. Choc seems like he has the brains to see through religion these days, so I'm surprised he is still very focussed on the Arab religion and does not acknowledge his Aboriginal beliefs more.

[@maysahd9817]

It’s not an Arab religion. Some of the first Muslims to ever accept Islam were actually Black. The first man to ever recite the athan (call to prayer) was black. Not Arab.

[@stevie1979]

@@maysahd9817 It is an Arab religion, based on the language, clothing, customs and material culture, just like Christianity was a Judean religion (now more influenced by the Europeans), other than maybe the Orthodox religions. Basically, any non-Arab Muslims is a convert. The first Africans converted to Islam were living in Arabia, and they were most likely slaves, as was a more common practice back then, and exists today, but not to the extent as it did back then. There would be no evidence that the first person to ever recite the athan was African though. Although I'm not religious, Christianity and Islam both have fascinating geopolitics.

[@clarkemoiri6112]

Let's trot brah

[@foreverman1966]

I wish Big Tones had gotten involved n done deal with NRL to keep him in the game..❤ see yas at Coluzzi ❤

[@andrew24534]

Is that the Cafe at Darlinghurst? I used to always see chocs father Tony there when I was a kid. Always used to take the time to talk to my father and I. What a top man his father is. We love you Choc Mundine.💪💚🙏

[@mykesk3]

Brother Josh. You talk too much bro. Ask a question and then let the guest speak. Respectfully.

[@okusfayreno8599]

Weird that you thought that ,I thought the killed it in this interview

[@tiotiwilliams8311]

God bless choc 🤲 legend

[@MM-gh5bu]

Choc the man 🫡

[@jms5736]

[@obomber27]

[@jms5736]

Guys first of all we are humans don't forget before any religion or sport

[@onemanhiswhiteboard940]

Can't listen to it with that stupid lollipop sound every few seconds.

[@craig3251]

Choc the lollipop stick is so 90s, time to act like a man

[@marciboi2017]

Conquered 2 sports - Premiership winner in one & world champ in the other. Freak.

[@bullterror5]

Mr Andrews was spotted at JFK Airport on Wednesday evening, local time, reigniting speculation that he covets the New York-based roles of either Australia’s consul-general in New York or Commissioner for Global Victoria. Mr Andrews’ daughter, Grace, is also understood to be studying in the US.

[@wayneburns8071]

Your got robbed bro im proud of you choc

[@bullterror5]

Two government sources confirmed Mr Andrews had begun discussions over his next career move and confirmed his name had been put forward to fill a government-appointed vacancy on the Monash University Council, left vacant by the passing of former Labor leader Simon Crean, a former deputy chancellor. Former premier John Brumby also went into a higher education role becoming chancellor of La Trobe University.

[@bullterror5]

VICTORIA UNI AND MONASH UNI, WITH A BUNCH OF ALI'S, IMPORTANTLY WALID ALY FROM THE PROJECT TV

[@bullterror5]

THIS GUY FUCKING DESTROYED PUBLIC ENEMY

[@user-ky3xw4jx4u]

Did he actually say if you weren’t white you couldn’t come to Australia in the 1970,s 🤣🤣🤣

[@jw-vx8im]

I know people who were not white and came to Australia in the 60's and 70's. Was just less acceptable and probably not more difficult

[@bullterror5]

THERE'S NO SAINT ALI WITH THE. MONGREL. MOB
