Speaker 3: Think it's a bloody great idea in fact I've been
Speaker 3: on a website. Air scrubs are doing fifty. Well.
Speaker 6: I didn't get on air scrubs. I got an Amazon.

Speaker 1: So I've got to get my headphones off.
Speaker 2: There, you're probably this probably went from the fact that
Speaker 2: I had a few friends at Channel nine colleagues, one
Speaker 2: of which bought them for his wife because it's all
Speaker 2: she wanted.
Speaker 5: I mean, it's not high on Christmas list.
Speaker 3: But was it a role play like I've always wanted
Speaker 3: to be with the nurse? I think so.
Speaker 2: I think it's just more out of pure comfort. And
Speaker 2: then the beautiful and very talented Alicia Loxley said she
Speaker 2: was at school pickup.
Speaker 3: That's what you were saying.
Speaker 2: And a friend of hers that she knows doesn't work

Speaker 6: sent me a voice note, well, voice noting back and forth.
Speaker 6: So a lot of people in Melbourne have been contacting
Speaker 6: us saying they've got the person that they haven't spoken
Speaker 6: to for no reason.
Speaker 1: Life.
Speaker 3: There's no falling out and it's just, you know, life
Speaker 3: got in the way.
Speaker 6: Life gotten the way. Maybe you moved away, maybe they
Speaker 6: moved away. COVID ruined friendships. And we've been to talking
Speaker 6: to people about it because next Wednesday, twenty seventh of November,
Speaker 6: we want everyone in Melbourne to text someone they've been
Speaker 6: thinking of.

Speaker 6: Reconnect to day next Wednesday, twenty seventh of November, Melbourne.
Speaker 3: We did get this phone call earlier this week. Melinda
Speaker 3: in Endeavor Hills. What's your story?
Speaker 16: Yeah, my friend Andique we used to work together six
Speaker 16: seven years ago. She was the best. She was there
Speaker 16: for me in a really hard time, no judgment, no anything.
Speaker 16: It's hard to find people like that.
Speaker 6: How much would you love just to reconnect and just
Speaker 6: have a laugh with her.
Speaker 16: I would love to go out with her.
Speaker 4: Censor reunion video.
Speaker 1: So that was Monday.
Speaker 6: Off the back of the conversation we had, right, we
Speaker 6: got a DM on Monday afternoon saying, hey, guys, my
Speaker 6: friend Belinda rang today and was on air talking about
Speaker 6: our friendship. She sounded so emotional. I'm shattered that she's
Speaker 6: been feeling like that because it truly feels like yesterday.
Speaker 6: We saw each other at work every day.
Speaker 3: We've got what are the odds that they were listening.
Speaker 6: I know, I know she heard her friend talking about
Speaker 6: it and thirteen twenty fourteen. If there's someone that you
Speaker 6: know that you feel the same about, we've got Monique
Speaker 6: on the line right now.
Speaker 1: Morning Monique, Morning, guys.
Speaker 14: Did you have to replay it?
Speaker 5: Right? It's beautiful.
Speaker 6: So you're driving along on the way to work and
Speaker 6: you heard Blender and you're like, oh my god, this
Speaker 6: is about me, this is us.
Speaker 17: Yeah.
Speaker 14: Initially I was a little bit naive to the situation because,
Speaker 14: like I said, it literally feels like yesterday that there's
Speaker 14: like no time in between. And then yeah, hearing what
Speaker 14: she said, I was just gut it that that's how
Speaker 14: she's been a feeling, But did it make.
Speaker 1: You miss the friendship as well?
Speaker 14: Oh of course yeah instantly. It's just like because yeah,
Speaker 14: it literally just had felt like not five and.
Speaker 3: Six years definitely haven't you reached out? Is it just
Speaker 3: my same reason? Just life gets in the way.
Speaker 14: Life gets in the way. She has a crazy little toddler, Luke,
Speaker 14: like you mentioned it as well, Jase, that I'm I'm
Speaker 14: the Clint in my friendship group. I'm the single girl.
Speaker 14: And yeah, sometimes you're just like, oh, they're busy, like
Speaker 14: the Yeah, they've got their busy life and a toddler.
Speaker 14: And we were both working early childhood, so I get it,
Speaker 14: and you don't want to be that inconvenience you're like, hey,
Speaker 14: like let's go out.
Speaker 5: Let's go do something.
Speaker 3: I think that would hurt her to know that. You
Speaker 3: look at.
Speaker 2: Like, just quickly, Monique, what is it that you love
Speaker 2: about your friend Belinda?
Speaker 14: I'm probably the one that's a little bit more blunt
Speaker 14: and like straight to the point where she has always
Speaker 14: sort of brought me back down and been like hang on,
Speaker 14: like look at it from this angle. Even with everything
Speaker 14: she's been through, she's like a very empathetic person. And
Speaker 14: I know like if I was to go through anything like,
Speaker 14: I could definitely reach out and yeah she'd be there.
Speaker 6: But you used to work together. It's been what five
Speaker 6: or six years since you've seen each other or spoken
Speaker 6: to each each other. Well, we've got Belinda on the
Speaker 6: line right now, girls say, hid all got.
Speaker 7: Oh?
Speaker 3: I didn't want to.
Speaker 14: It's not good radio. If we're just gonna cry.
Speaker 1: Can someone say something I miss you?
Speaker 4: Do?
Speaker 3: I can eddie motion in your voice? Belinda? Was that nice?
Speaker 3: Hearing her talk about the friendship?
Speaker 16: It was so nice and I'm so glad that she
Speaker 16: heard it. And I meant every word.
Speaker 1: And what did she mean to you? Belinda?
Speaker 18: Oh?
Speaker 5: She was.
Speaker 16: She was just an all round friend. Like we we
Speaker 16: spoke about everything. Honestly, we spoke about everything.
Speaker 6: Got those friends, And sometimes it is at work because
Speaker 6: you leave that at work and you don't carry it
Speaker 6: with you all day.
Speaker 1: Right, many, How nice is it to hear Belinda's voice?
Speaker 17: Yeah?
Speaker 14: Really good.
Speaker 1: We'll let you guys connect off the air.
Speaker 6: But I thanks to be getting in touch and being
Speaker 6: a part of this, because I think everybody listening has
Speaker 6: that friend that they just haven't spoken to in a
Speaker 6: while for no reason.
Speaker 3: Well, our number is thirteen twenty four to ten to
Speaker 3: join us on the air. If you're listening to this
Speaker 3: and you've got that friend that jumped into your mind,
Speaker 3: it's and it's for so many different reasons, right yeah,
Speaker 3: let us know who it is and why you've drifted apart.
Speaker 3: Thirteen twenty four ten to join us on the air.
Speaker 3: And next Wednesday we are reconnecting for Christmas. Dudinus, what
Speaker 3: I move?
Speaker 9: Jason Laws reading next to Christmas.
Speaker 6: Yes, Melbourne, we want to bring us all together for Christmas.
Speaker 6: So put your thinking cap on and think about someone
Speaker 6: you miss, someone you haven't seen for a while, someone
Speaker 6: you haven't caught caught up with, purely because life's just
Speaker 6: gotten the way, but.
Speaker 5: Also it feels so good.
Speaker 3: Well, I've literally spent since we started doing this, each
Speaker 3: day when I'm driving home thinking of a different.
Speaker 6: Pers Yeah, yeah, yeah, So hold it. If you've got someone,
Speaker 6: just sit on it. And if you haven't thought of
Speaker 6: someone yet, just keep thinking about it, because next Wednesday
Speaker 6: is the day and we're all going to do it together.
Speaker 1: Because it takes the awkwardness.
Speaker 6: Off, you can say, hey, are you I heard this
Speaker 6: thing on no over on Jason Lauren saying it's time
Speaker 6: to reconnect with people we're miss and that's you.
Speaker 3: These people are getting involved what.
Speaker 19: I met this amazing girl called Chelsea through my ex boyfriend,
Speaker 19: and hearing you guys talk about it on air has
Speaker 19: just made me really want to reach out to her again.
Speaker 19: We haven't really spoken since my X and I broke up,
Speaker 19: and yeah, I really miss her.
Speaker 18: Hey, I'm Nick and I'd love to catch up with
Speaker 18: an old family friend, Tom. Our parents were family friends
Speaker 18: back in the day. We went to school together and
Speaker 18: then some stuff went down and we haven't really caught
Speaker 18: up since. So hopefully I'll be able to catch up
Speaker 18: with you, Tom.
Speaker 1: Hey, my name is Alison.
Speaker 20: I really want to reconnect with my old friend Kate.
Speaker 20: We used to get a UNI together. We were inseparable,
Speaker 20: but life got in the way. We've got different jobs.
Speaker 20: I haven't seen her in the years, but I really misheard.
Speaker 20: I've been thinking about it a lot now, especially the
Speaker 20: lead up to Christmas, and I think it'd be great.
Speaker 3: To reconnect with her. An interesting one that got brought
Speaker 3: up there. Sometimes you lose connection with a friend because
Speaker 3: you might have met them through an next partner.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and they've broken up people think they need to
Speaker 6: take a side, and really, you know, a few years
Speaker 6: down the track, you're like.
Speaker 3: Oh, m's take outside.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 6: But also things settle and all of a sudden you're like, oh, well,
Speaker 6: I was just really protective of my friends, and I
Speaker 6: probably now I've lost a great friend in the process too.
Speaker 1: So it's those kind of friendships that you miss.
Speaker 6: Maybe it's a colleague that you used to work with
Speaker 6: that you haven't spoken to in a long time. Maybe,
Speaker 6: like me, it was one of my best friends that
Speaker 6: I spent every weekend with in my sort of eighteen
Speaker 6: nineteen twenties thirty mid twenties.
Speaker 1: Can I miss her?
Speaker 5: Depends on the depends on the ex partner.
Speaker 6: Sometimes, Oh no, don't reconnect with an X. That no
Speaker 6: different story that is not reconnect with an X is
Speaker 6: another day next Wednesday.
Speaker 3: Throw the leg over one more time as a day
Speaker 3: will celebrate next year.
Speaker 1: Reheating old the sleep is another day this year.
Speaker 5: It is reconnect ate Some soup needs to go unheeded.
Speaker 3: Yep, can you remember down for me?
Speaker 5: Brother?
Speaker 3: Thanks mate, Joanne and Duloma.
Speaker 1: Right morning, Joe.
Speaker 13: Good morning, good morning, guys.
Speaker 1: How are we where? Good? Is this struck a chord
Speaker 1: with you. Is there someone yet thinking about it?
Speaker 13: Has it?
Speaker 10: Has?
Speaker 13: There is someone I'm thinking about. Her name is Sarah Yep.
Speaker 13: Sarah's from Brunswick, and we were besties all through primary school,
Speaker 13: all through high school, even a little after high school
Speaker 13: when I moved to Werribee and she was still in Brunswick.
Speaker 13: We still had that connection and then weddings happened, babies happen,
Speaker 13: and we just lost touch. It was just, yeah, just
Speaker 13: lost touch. She did come to my fortieth so I
Speaker 13: just reach out to her, but that was eight years
Speaker 13: ago and we haven't seen each other since.
Speaker 3: When she rocked up at the fortieth was it was
Speaker 3: it like there was no time the past.
Speaker 13: It was it was it really was. We just brought
Speaker 13: back old memories and you know, used each other's nicknames
Speaker 13: that we had for each.
Speaker 1: Other, names.
Speaker 5: Special Joe. Sorry, what made a special Joe?
Speaker 13: I think just that we grew up together and our
Speaker 13: families were friends as well, and her mum and dad
Speaker 13: are great. I think I believe they still live in
Speaker 13: the same count in Brunswick. And yeah, we just spoke
Speaker 13: about things that you wouldn't talk to other people about.
Speaker 3: And right, that's a theme that's coming up.
Speaker 1: You can't make that up with anyone else.
Speaker 6: Joe, do you love the idea of this day of
Speaker 6: reconnecting with an old pel I do?
Speaker 5: I do.
Speaker 13: I do love it, And it sort of gives me
Speaker 13: an excuse too. I mean I probably could. I've only
Speaker 13: got her on Messinger, so that's okay. You know, I
Speaker 13: could easily just send her a message.
Speaker 3: But it's just that initial message, isn't it.
Speaker 13: Yes, Yes, most definitely.
Speaker 1: So you're going to do it next Wednesday on reconnect Day?
Speaker 7: I am.
Speaker 13: I am gonna definitely do it, And I do hope
Speaker 13: she's listening because she'll know exactly, she'll recognize my voice,
Speaker 13: she'll know the history name. Her nickname was Soccer and
Speaker 13: mine was Joza.
Speaker 18: Know that.
Speaker 1: So she's listening.
Speaker 6: Get ready next Wednesday, you guys are gonna catchup and you.
Speaker 3: Know what, she's at the nail on the head. Use
Speaker 3: this as the reason or excuse to reach out. It
Speaker 3: takes away the awkwardness. Just Hey, I heard about reconnect
Speaker 3: Day on Nova. You jumped into my mind straight away.
Speaker 3: How you're being It doesn't.
Speaker 6: Mean you have to have this huge commitment that you're
Speaker 6: going to see each other every week and it's just like, hey,
Speaker 6: I've been thinking of you, and it's so nice to
Speaker 6: think so fondly of someone that you used to spend
Speaker 6: so much time with and know that you've still got it.
Speaker 3: And then you don't have to talk to them for
Speaker 3: another year until we roll this day out again next
Speaker 3: year once again. No one injured, thank god. But a
Speaker 3: huge nightclub fire last night on Chapel Street.
Speaker 1: I believe the road might still be closed nightclub.

Speaker 3: catch up with our next guest.
Speaker 2: He's an intriguing character, Jace, and he's on the comeback
Speaker 2: trail as well, which I'm really excited about, and I
Speaker 2: think you will discover he's really pumped about as well.
Speaker 3: He will be the person everyone is talking about come
Speaker 3: January for the AO. It is Nick Curios.
Speaker 17: Our next guest is one of the few people in
Speaker 17: the world who has beaten the big three of.
Speaker 4: Tennis Djokovic, Federer and Nada.
Speaker 3: Oh what a shot.
Speaker 4: So he's at Australian legend no One for his fast
Speaker 4: serve and his fast mouth.
Speaker 5: Please welcome to the show, Nick, carry out.
Speaker 3: In the famous words of Dan Andrews, let's get on
Speaker 3: the beers.
Speaker 4: Hello mate, that's I'm good mate. That's very relevant.
Speaker 17: Although I haven't been on the beer as much because
Speaker 17: I'm preparing for the Eyes Open. But afterwards I can
Speaker 17: all assure you that we'll be getting on the strider,
Speaker 17: that's for sure.
Speaker 2: We'll get to the beer in a sec. But we've
Speaker 2: missed you, Nick, Have you missed us? Have you have
Speaker 2: you missed the game?
Speaker 17: Yeah, I mean, look, it's been a it's been a
Speaker 17: very eventful last couple of years. And look, I think
Speaker 17: earlier in my career, if I was injured like this,
Speaker 17: I'd probably be a bit shattered. But you know, it's
Speaker 17: part of I guess, being an athlete, and every athlete
Speaker 17: goes through and we see, you know, it's just another
Speaker 17: part of the journey. But I'm just really glad to
Speaker 17: be back. And you know, obviously playing the Brisbane International
Speaker 17: first is going to be a lot of fun, and
Speaker 17: and just been playing in front of the home crowd
Speaker 17: again and hopefully being able to you know, bring the
Speaker 17: crowds to entertainment and a couple of wins as well.
Speaker 4: So yeah, I'm really happy to be back.
Speaker 3: God, it'd be bloody good to have you back in
Speaker 3: Melbourne come January. And you're right, you know, a bit
Speaker 3: of entertainment because you know, I know sometimes it's odd Nick,
Speaker 3: You're loud, you're outspoken stuff, you bring a bit of
Speaker 3: life to the sport.
Speaker 4: I say, yeah, yeah, definitely.
Speaker 17: I think it's a very interesting time at the moment
Speaker 17: in the tennis world. Obviously we see you know, Djokovic,
Speaker 17: you know, I think we could all say he's at
Speaker 17: the tail end of his career, he's still a phenomenal player,
Speaker 17: but Nadel literally today officially his last ever time we're
Speaker 17: going to see him on the court. Federer gone. So look,
Speaker 17: there's some there's some amazing players still out there. But
Speaker 17: I think the game is a bit bland at the moment.
Speaker 17: And you know, everyone's like liking each other and everyone's
Speaker 17: friends with each other. I just I hate that ship,
Speaker 17: to be honest. Everyone's like everyone's best mate, and I'm
Speaker 17: just like, that's that's not I mean as Ossie's as well.
Speaker 17: Like you look at our sports, they're rough as they're
Speaker 17: rough as anything your AFL, NRL.
Speaker 4: Like that's why we watch. We watch for entertainment.
Speaker 17: We watch for bad blood, we watch for you know,
Speaker 17: something maybe happening, and we want. You know, I'm all
Speaker 17: for being friends off the call. I just think there's
Speaker 17: a bit too much respect inside the lines at the moment.
Speaker 3: It's the same in radio. I'll give you a hot tip.
Speaker 3: We're not going for l soon.
Speaker 5: Nick. You're happy, mate? Are you happy?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 17: I look, I think I guess I'm not sad. I
Speaker 17: guess that's how I do it. I mean, like my
Speaker 17: life at the moment's a whirlwind obviously been doing a
Speaker 17: lot of things on and off the court. But look,
Speaker 17: I just yeah, I mean I'm doing great. I'm always
Speaker 17: staying busy, and you know I've been I think I've
Speaker 17: been doing a lot more I guess charity work and
Speaker 17: spending a lot of more time.
Speaker 4: With kids and stuff.
Speaker 17: So I guess that's that's something that I genuinely enjoy
Speaker 17: I love doing, and I think that's almost probably been
Speaker 17: the most humbling and definitely the most powerful experience that
Speaker 17: I've been really tried to put an effort towards the
Speaker 17: last couple of years, so I think it's helping me.
Speaker 17: You know, not take anything for granted, but yeah, look,
Speaker 17: I feel I feel amazing, and I'm just really excited
Speaker 17: for the next couple of months.
Speaker 3: Go with me here. You got me in trouble. The
Speaker 3: other day, my w was walking past the bedroom door
Speaker 3: and the door was shut. She heard like some strange
Speaker 3: sounds coming out of the bedroom. It was a video
Speaker 3: Nick I was watching, but hang on, she opened the
Speaker 3: door and you had me in bloody tears. It was
Speaker 3: Adrian Portelli put this little sick kid on a play
Speaker 3: and flew him to meet Nick, and Nick was signed
Speaker 3: a tennis racket gave it over to what a little
Speaker 3: legend he was.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Harrison was. He was.
Speaker 17: He was a character. And you know, obviously when you
Speaker 17: see someone like that who has the reality rare. Yeah,
Speaker 17: I mean he has, he has. He's the only person
Speaker 17: in Australia with with that condition.
Speaker 4: And I mean, look, he had a lot of life
Speaker 4: about him.
Speaker 17: To be honest, I mean, if he's going to be
Speaker 17: listening to this family, he was still cheeky, so that
Speaker 17: a lot attitude and still enjoyed every every little moment.
Speaker 4: And look that's what I mean.
Speaker 3: I mean, really you could tell you made his year mate.
Speaker 3: It was just such a nice moment. It was really
Speaker 3: really cool, well done, Yeah it was.
Speaker 4: It was awesome.
Speaker 17: So yeah, I'm be doing more of that and hopefully,
Speaker 17: you know, I could bring some of these people down
Speaker 17: to AO if they're able to come and give him
Speaker 17: a you know, cool experience.
Speaker 5: You need poor Telly's private jet, that's what you mean.
Speaker 4: I don't fly private often.
Speaker 3: To be honest.
Speaker 4: He's he's an.
Speaker 5: Older you're a man of the people.
Speaker 3: You're gonna buy next year's block.
Speaker 17: Ah, Man, He's he's hustling all respect the man. He's
Speaker 17: he's he's he's building the empire, that's for sure.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're doing pretty well. All right, let's talker. He's
Speaker 3: got his own bite. Where did this come about?
Speaker 17: So it's actually it's it's a crazy story because you know,
Speaker 17: I've got a really good personal relationship with one of
Speaker 17: the other owners. I met him he actually owns a
Speaker 17: nightclub in Sydney and I was going out so often.
Speaker 17: We became good friends, and then I know what happens,
Speaker 17: and then we were like, you know what, let's let's
Speaker 17: do this, like let's you know, I mean it's all
Speaker 17: about I mean, it all comes down to just being
Speaker 17: you know, proud to be Australian. And look, I'm not
Speaker 17: going to deny like I love having a drink. You know,
Speaker 17: I'm my local pub all times. So I was like, look,
Speaker 17: I really want to do this and I feel like
Speaker 17: it's not slowing down here in Australia, you know, everyone
Speaker 17: loves to have a good time, and especially with the
Speaker 17: Aussie summer coming around, I felt it was so fitting
Speaker 17: to try and do something. And one of the breweries
Speaker 17: is literally in gold and forty five minutes from my house.
Speaker 17: I was there with my mum showing her how everything
Speaker 17: kind of runs and how it's how it's all made.
Speaker 17: So yeah, I was just an idea and we put
Speaker 17: it together and now it's in full flow and and
Speaker 17: also tastes amazing, by the way, Like I'll personally deliver
Speaker 17: it to your houses, both of you.
Speaker 4: Strider at four point fours.
Speaker 3: They're dangerous. Did your mum get on it when she
Speaker 3: was at the brewery.
Speaker 4: She did taste it, My mom, she did taste it.
Speaker 4: I'm not gonna lie. She's in hospital at the moment.
Speaker 4: The poor.
Speaker 17: Nah, she she'll be okay, she'll be okay. But yeah,
Speaker 17: she did have a little sip. She doesn't mind a
Speaker 17: little red wine.
Speaker 4: But she did have a bit of the beer and
Speaker 4: she loved it. And look, I just love the people.
Speaker 17: Like obviously, you know, I had a lot of you know,
Speaker 17: getting to this point in my career, you have a
Speaker 17: lot of options of who you want to work with.
Speaker 17: But the thing that stood out for me with this
Speaker 17: was it's all Ausy. You know, I've got a great
Speaker 17: relationship with the people in the in the business as well,
Speaker 17: and I think we can really, you know, do some
Speaker 17: amazing things in Australia with it. First of all, like
Speaker 17: all these other Australian beers at the moment, they're not
Speaker 17: even Australian owned. And I really want, I really want
Speaker 17: it to be like all about you know, in your backyard,
Speaker 17: you know, always being there when there's a good thing
Speaker 17: happening in celebration and then obviously getting it to the
Speaker 17: global stage one day would be would be amazing.
Speaker 3: We are on the air with tennis superstar Nick Kurrios

Speaker 2: trials and tribulation. The wrist has been the big issue.
Speaker 2: But looks at your cherry right now. But you must
Speaker 2: have hit a few lows though there.
Speaker 17: Oh yeah, one hundred percent, man. I mean, look, had
Speaker 17: the best year of my career. I'll give you the
Speaker 17: best year of my career. Was I set away from
Speaker 17: Wimbledon basically, and yeah, I had had a bit of
Speaker 17: a risk niggle and then ended up being quite significant.
Speaker 17: I needed a risk reconstruction. And obviously, when you get
Speaker 17: told that playing a racket sport in your right wrists,
Speaker 17: you're standing down the barrel of maybe not ever playing again.
Speaker 17: And the surgeon was pretty transparent me. He was like,
Speaker 17: look like I've done this surgery we've done. It's only
Speaker 17: been performed about fifty times worldwide, and it's more like
Speaker 17: a contact injury, so it was very rare that a
Speaker 17: tennis player got it. And he was like, look, a
Speaker 17: couple plumbers have come back and got back into their profession.
Speaker 17: I was like, Okay, that is not really relevant for
Speaker 17: tennis player, but.
Speaker 3: But I appreciate it, and I appreciate the positive, positive.
Speaker 17: Look he did an he did an amazing job. Everything
Speaker 17: went well, and it was six months post surgery. I
Speaker 17: didn't feel any honestly, didn't feel any improvement. I was like,
Speaker 17: I don't think I'm ever going to play again. I
Speaker 17: spoke to my team and obviously let my family know
Speaker 17: that it wasn't going great. And then nine months out
Speaker 17: got some improvement and then just never really gave in.
Speaker 17: It was always, you know, trying to stay in shape,
Speaker 17: trying to do the right thing, stay patient, and here
Speaker 17: we are, you know, about fourteen months post surgery, with
Speaker 17: the risk reconstruction and back playing. That was this summer.
Speaker 17: So it's all a bonus. Honestly, now, I didn't really
Speaker 17: ever think I was going to be back to play
Speaker 17: at this level, and it's it's really a miracle.
Speaker 3: So and you can you can see the excitement in
Speaker 3: your face. How'd you go post surgery? Everyone have to
Speaker 3: batter your toast for you. Do we ever get as
Speaker 3: rock bottom wiping?
Speaker 17: Honestly, my fingers were like there were like sausages, Like
Speaker 17: my hand was.
Speaker 3: Yah fingers.
Speaker 4: Oh no, they're all right now. But like you can
Speaker 4: see the sky now, like see that sky there?
Speaker 17: Yeah, and then it's both sides as well.
Speaker 4: It's pretty disgusting, but U and.
Speaker 5: The risk is back to it?
Speaker 3: Would you say hundred percent strength?
Speaker 17: Oh yeah, no, like strength wise, it's right there. Like
Speaker 17: I just came off the court after three. I mean,
Speaker 17: I feel it feels obviously doesn't feel how it once was,
Speaker 17: but it's it's good enough to get out there and compete.
Speaker 17: I mean, as an athlete, you're never going to fell
Speaker 17: one hundred percent anyway. But I was in a cast
Speaker 17: for twelve weeks. I mean it was it was rough
Speaker 17: footing man.
Speaker 3: But when you're when you're ature, grown up, do people
Speaker 3: still sign your cast or is that just a school thing?
Speaker 4: No one signed my cast?
Speaker 5: Did you watch the fight the other day, Tyson?
Speaker 4: I did watch the fight?
Speaker 3: Thoughts you met Tyson before haven't you.
Speaker 17: Yeah, I've really close with Logan, but I've had Mike
Speaker 17: Tyson on my podcast and I've invested in Jake Paul's
Speaker 17: W brand as well, so I've got But look, let's
Speaker 17: let's not let's not sit here and say it wasn't like.
Speaker 17: I mean, they both made an incredible amount of money,
Speaker 17: and I'm not taking away anything from Jake Paul. Yeah,
Speaker 17: but let's let's be real, Like Jake Paul's is a
Speaker 17: hell of an athlete.

Speaker 17: the moment, Like, he's one of the biggest names in entertainment.
Speaker 17: So he's at that point where he can literally put
Speaker 17: anyone in front of him. People are gonna I mean,
Speaker 17: we're the idiots, to be honest, sitting down streaming it.
Speaker 4: But like, look, props to both of them.
Speaker 17: I mean, look, Tyson to even get in the ring
Speaker 17: at sixty is incredible.
Speaker 4: I mean, I don't like he looked like he was struggling.
Speaker 17: But those guys are some smart businessmen.
Speaker 4: That's all I'm going to say.
Speaker 3: Just off the back of Tyson, you always wear pants

Speaker 6: yesterday or the day before.
Speaker 1: It hasn't run for like fifteen years.
Speaker 3: Is just down the road from Circus, around the corner,

Speaker 22: Three men and ballock fabers get out. Said they all
Speaker 22: had Jerry can. They broke into Lucks nightclub with an
Speaker 22: act set at the blaze. I ran out one with
Speaker 22: his leg on fire. Oh and they hot puted it
Speaker 22: in the car, screaming down Chapel Street North towards two
Speaker 22: Rack Roads.
Speaker 1: It's been deliberately least absolutely did.
Speaker 3: The guy finish his big mac?
Speaker 22: Christine, He did finish his big mac.
Speaker 5: He filmed.
Speaker 22: He filmed it at the time. We couldn't use the
Speaker 22: vision because he had a stiggy.
Speaker 1: Did he actually have his durry covering the camera?
Speaker 10: He had this there?
Speaker 5: It is he wanted.
Speaker 22: He wanted a little bit of cash for his video.

Speaker 6: no one in the in the building.
Speaker 22: No one was in the building thankfully at the time.
Speaker 22: And firefighters just done an amazing job. Given if you
Speaker 22: have a look at this vision of the flame for
Speaker 22: two hours to get it under control, they've done an
Speaker 22: amazing job making sure it didn't spread to other businesses.
Speaker 6: Well, there's a lot of homes there as well. I
Speaker 6: used to live just behind that little pocket and it's
Speaker 6: full of house.
Speaker 3: Can we fact check something Clint's been saying news because
Speaker 3: Lauren and I don't believe it. Christine Clint's been leading
Speaker 3: his news with the fire and saying there was fifty
Speaker 3: fire trucks on the scene. That sounds like a lot.
Speaker 5: Let me down.
Speaker 22: Okay, I don't want to dis credits dons, but there
Speaker 22: was fifty firefighter's fifteen truck mistake.
Speaker 5: Mistake, you know what, someone else writes my news.
Speaker 3: Thank you, Chris Channel Today Show, Thank you very much.
Speaker 6: I'm assuming Chapel Street is still closed, so that the
Speaker 6: point of getting Christine on there was to find out if.
Speaker 1: You should drive down Chappeles Street.
Speaker 6: Or not, but instead it was just a pylong Clint,
Speaker 6: But I think Chupple Street is still closed in that
Speaker 6: little pocket between Commercial and Tac Road, so please avoid
Speaker 6: the area if possible.
