<v Speaker 4>Good morning to you. Tainny McManus, who is a bit

0:00:29.880 --> 0:00:33.960
<v Speaker 4>of news laughs, companionship from midnight. It's always good to

0:00:34.000 --> 0:00:35.280
<v Speaker 4>listen to you, my friend.

0:00:35.280 --> 0:00:36.960
<v Speaker 1>As a Richmond supporter. How you doing?

0:00:38.720 --> 0:00:40.960
<v Speaker 4>You have to bring it up. Look, look, I know

0:00:41.240 --> 0:00:42.120
<v Speaker 4>where we're at.

0:00:43.200 --> 0:00:45.840
<v Speaker 1>As you speak. Just reach out and hold my hand

0:00:46.840 --> 0:00:47.840
<v Speaker 1>and I'll hold yours.

0:00:48.640 --> 0:00:51.159
<v Speaker 4>All right, Well, listen, you can listen to me and

0:00:51.200 --> 0:00:54.120
<v Speaker 4>listen to me. Winch No, I'm I'm actually okay. Honestly,

0:00:54.720 --> 0:00:59.840
<v Speaker 4>we're on the journey. We're seeing if we do what

0:00:59.920 --> 0:01:03.680
<v Speaker 4>I okay, we're doing Okay. You know, after the thing was,

0:01:03.880 --> 0:01:06.440
<v Speaker 4>after I saw three premierships, I said, I don't really

0:01:06.440 --> 0:01:11.440
<v Speaker 4>care what happened. You know, I'm fulfilled in my life as.

0:01:11.319 --> 0:01:13.120
<v Speaker 1>A rich i'med.

0:01:13.600 --> 0:01:16.760
<v Speaker 3>So what you think you might go go through for

0:01:16.800 --> 0:01:19.880
<v Speaker 3>the rest of your days on earth, maybe never.

0:01:19.720 --> 0:01:24.080
<v Speaker 1>Seeing another decent final. Maybe gee, you've got you've got

0:01:24.080 --> 0:01:26.120
<v Speaker 1>a good soul in sixty or seventy years and what

0:01:26.120 --> 0:01:26.960
<v Speaker 1>are you talking about?

0:01:27.120 --> 0:01:30.560
<v Speaker 4>Well, maybe you never know what happens. But after that

0:01:30.760 --> 0:01:33.280
<v Speaker 4>and after the three premierships I saw I'm pretty happy

0:01:33.319 --> 0:01:36.200
<v Speaker 4>and content. And there's also been some pretty pretty good

0:01:36.240 --> 0:01:38.760
<v Speaker 4>signs I think this year. Yeah, we had a shaker

0:01:38.760 --> 0:01:41.760
<v Speaker 4>against the Bulldogs on the weekend and before that it

0:01:41.800 --> 0:01:44.360
<v Speaker 4>was pretty bad against Sydney. But it's okay. They're young,

0:01:44.560 --> 0:01:47.680
<v Speaker 4>they're improving, we've seen some signs. It's all good. How

0:01:47.680 --> 0:01:49.240
<v Speaker 4>are you feeling as a Melbourne supporter?

0:01:50.360 --> 0:01:54.400
<v Speaker 3>Only half as half as mild I think again, as

0:01:54.440 --> 0:01:58.880
<v Speaker 3>you he looks as if you know, based on really

0:01:58.880 --> 0:02:00.360
<v Speaker 3>you got to say, probably going to miss out even

0:02:00.360 --> 0:02:03.320
<v Speaker 3>getting close to the finals, but miracles can happen.

0:02:03.600 --> 0:02:04.320
<v Speaker 1>Enough about Footing.

0:02:04.400 --> 0:02:08.520
<v Speaker 3>Jimmy Zabo is, as I mentioned, the executive director, the

0:02:08.560 --> 0:02:13.040
<v Speaker 3>executive producer and for Jackson program which gets underway from

0:02:13.280 --> 0:02:15.520
<v Speaker 3>three o'clock the sou afternoon here on three aw But

0:02:15.639 --> 0:02:18.320
<v Speaker 3>this morning it's over to you to the Dear Listener

0:02:18.400 --> 0:02:19.480
<v Speaker 3>on Australia Overnight.

0:02:20.760 --> 0:02:24.200
<v Speaker 4>Well for everyone listening to the Dear Listener and you

0:02:24.240 --> 0:02:26.320
<v Speaker 4>as well, tony mate. This was interesting at the start

0:02:26.360 --> 0:02:28.400
<v Speaker 4>of the week I was reading there is this petition

0:02:28.600 --> 0:02:31.960
<v Speaker 4>going around. Where do you know about Pokemon trading cards?

0:02:32.520 --> 0:02:37.360
<v Speaker 3>Well, only only from a distance, to be honest, right, yeah.

0:02:37.200 --> 0:02:39.680
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, Well apparently you can play a pretty good game

0:02:39.720 --> 0:02:39.960
<v Speaker 4>with it.

0:02:40.040 --> 0:02:40.440
<v Speaker 1>I don't know.

0:02:40.520 --> 0:02:44.320
<v Speaker 4>It's like this strategy game. It's very disciplined. Apparently there

0:02:44.360 --> 0:02:48.000
<v Speaker 4>is this national petition calling on the Australian Olympic Committee

0:02:48.040 --> 0:02:51.760
<v Speaker 4>to consider it for the Olympics Brisbane twenty thirty two

0:02:51.840 --> 0:02:56.120
<v Speaker 4>to have Pokemon cards as a sport. I thought, come on, seriously,

0:02:56.480 --> 0:02:58.000
<v Speaker 4>I mean, we could do better than that. I think

0:02:58.120 --> 0:03:01.600
<v Speaker 4>I was thinking what sports activity should be considered. You

0:03:01.639 --> 0:03:03.960
<v Speaker 4>can think of something better than Pokemon cards. I've got

0:03:04.000 --> 0:03:06.360
<v Speaker 4>a long list. You tell me if any of these works.

0:03:06.480 --> 0:03:08.920
<v Speaker 1>Okay, this is this is to go into the Olympics.

0:03:09.560 --> 0:03:11.560
<v Speaker 4>On the Olympics. Gone, the Olympics. All right, get ready

0:03:11.560 --> 0:03:14.040
<v Speaker 4>of break breaking break dancing. We again, we've seen enough

0:03:14.040 --> 0:03:17.840
<v Speaker 4>of that. How about we do parallel parking. We've got

0:03:17.840 --> 0:03:20.160
<v Speaker 4>a competition. I think the Europeans would be pretty good

0:03:20.160 --> 0:03:22.239
<v Speaker 4>at that. Parallel parking.

0:03:22.400 --> 0:03:23.600
<v Speaker 1>That's fantastic.

0:03:24.040 --> 0:03:28.799
<v Speaker 4>Reverse parking, reverse parking, Oh so we've got that. We've

0:03:28.840 --> 0:03:32.760
<v Speaker 4>also got reversing, you know, reverse reverse boat docking. You

0:03:32.800 --> 0:03:35.080
<v Speaker 4>know when you reverse your boat down the boat rams when.

0:03:34.960 --> 0:03:36.960
<v Speaker 1>You're putting your boat down into the water.

0:03:37.520 --> 0:03:41.240
<v Speaker 4>Yep, that'd be good poker we could do, would be

0:03:41.240 --> 0:03:45.040
<v Speaker 4>better than Pokemon cards. Chess I think should be included.

0:03:45.640 --> 0:03:47.560
<v Speaker 4>How about ikea flat pack.

0:03:47.480 --> 0:03:51.440
<v Speaker 1>Racing pocus a little bit. I'm going to go blackjack.

0:03:51.600 --> 0:03:55.400
<v Speaker 3>Poker is a bit too slow, so you want some movement,

0:03:55.440 --> 0:03:59.080
<v Speaker 3>you want some regular activity, So I'm going to go blackjacks.

0:03:59.080 --> 0:04:00.200
<v Speaker 1>So I can put blackjack on.

0:04:00.240 --> 0:04:04.279
<v Speaker 3>The list, black check on the list we used to twenty.

0:04:04.000 --> 0:04:09.560
<v Speaker 4>One twenty one. Yeah, nice chess should be considered. As

0:04:09.560 --> 0:04:11.520
<v Speaker 4>I mentioned the flat pack racing. I think we should

0:04:11.600 --> 0:04:14.160
<v Speaker 4>have those IQ flat packs. It's a race to see

0:04:14.160 --> 0:04:14.960
<v Speaker 4>who finished.

0:04:15.400 --> 0:04:17.880
<v Speaker 1>Through the network on the Olympic.

0:04:18.000 --> 0:04:20.159
<v Speaker 3>Not what we want you to do is we want

0:04:20.160 --> 0:04:23.400
<v Speaker 3>to sit you there, hour after hour watching two people

0:04:23.440 --> 0:04:24.560
<v Speaker 3>play chess.

0:04:25.040 --> 0:04:27.000
<v Speaker 1>There's a ratings winner just there.

0:04:27.800 --> 0:04:30.680
<v Speaker 4>What about lawn mowing? Right, you get a patch of

0:04:30.720 --> 0:04:33.680
<v Speaker 4>grass and after ten minutes you've got to mowe it,

0:04:33.960 --> 0:04:37.360
<v Speaker 4>whip a snip whatever, and the best looking grass winds.

0:04:37.640 --> 0:04:39.240
<v Speaker 4>I think of the Australians do well with that.

0:04:39.440 --> 0:04:42.760
<v Speaker 3>Oh yes, the quintessential lawn space.

0:04:43.480 --> 0:04:46.080
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, that'd be good sting and has this one. This

0:04:46.200 --> 0:04:50.320
<v Speaker 4>is probably my favorite silent door closing contest. So you've

0:04:50.320 --> 0:04:52.720
<v Speaker 4>got a baby sleeping in a bed and you have

0:04:52.800 --> 0:04:54.640
<v Speaker 4>to go in the room, open the door, go to

0:04:54.680 --> 0:04:57.520
<v Speaker 4>the wardrobe, grab your clothes and make your way out

0:04:57.520 --> 0:04:59.600
<v Speaker 4>of the room without waking the baby up. And I

0:04:59.640 --> 0:05:02.440
<v Speaker 4>think I've mastered it now has a dad of what

0:05:02.520 --> 0:05:06.160
<v Speaker 4>is it now? Three years? That skill? I reckon I

0:05:06.200 --> 0:05:06.839
<v Speaker 4>could do it.

0:05:07.839 --> 0:05:11.479
<v Speaker 3>And can you imagine Dennis Committee, for example, doing the

0:05:11.520 --> 0:05:12.560
<v Speaker 3>commentary around that.

0:05:13.000 --> 0:05:15.520
<v Speaker 5>Yes, well, I've got to tell you, Tony, what's going

0:05:15.600 --> 0:05:19.160
<v Speaker 5>to happen is a look at this man here. He's

0:05:19.240 --> 0:05:24.719
<v Speaker 5>about he's moving in through the children's bedroom, silent, He's

0:05:24.760 --> 0:05:30.800
<v Speaker 5>got those beautiful slippers on he's got and I noticed, Tony,

0:05:30.960 --> 0:05:35.359
<v Speaker 5>he's wearing a jacket that says Lexus. And I'm a

0:05:35.400 --> 0:05:37.080
<v Speaker 5>bit of a fan of the Lexus.

0:05:38.360 --> 0:05:42.320
<v Speaker 1>And it is coming together, it's coming together. I didn't

0:05:42.360 --> 0:05:43.839
<v Speaker 1>think there's a segment there.

0:05:44.240 --> 0:05:47.200
<v Speaker 4>So we should start a petition to include these sports.

0:05:47.240 --> 0:05:50.719
<v Speaker 4>If anyone else has got any suggestions, please please come

0:05:50.760 --> 0:05:53.200
<v Speaker 4>to the table with them. But yours was good black jacket.

0:05:53.240 --> 0:05:54.360
<v Speaker 4>You got any more up his sleeve?

0:05:55.080 --> 0:05:59.919
<v Speaker 3>Introduce blackjack, ping pong just hitting the ping pong ball somehow.

0:06:00.000 --> 0:06:01.839
<v Speaker 3>I don't know you would do that, but just playing

0:06:01.839 --> 0:06:03.520
<v Speaker 3>with some sort of ping pong ball.

0:06:03.800 --> 0:06:04.920
<v Speaker 4>Just what against the wall?

0:06:05.080 --> 0:06:09.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, or the very favorite game which can be quite quick.

0:06:09.160 --> 0:06:11.440
<v Speaker 3>It would be a thing we used to play as kids,

0:06:11.720 --> 0:06:13.240
<v Speaker 3>called Chinese checkers.

0:06:13.560 --> 0:06:14.960
<v Speaker 1>So it's a little more it's a.

0:06:14.960 --> 0:06:18.839
<v Speaker 3>Little more activity around it than steering it aboard simply

0:06:19.320 --> 0:06:19.880
<v Speaker 3>for chess.

0:06:20.320 --> 0:06:21.400
<v Speaker 1>Chinese checkers.

0:06:21.480 --> 0:06:24.680
<v Speaker 4>Chinese checkers. Yeah, a good one. Yeah, you'd also be good,

0:06:24.720 --> 0:06:29.080
<v Speaker 4>I reckon if they had general knowledge trivia at the Olympics.

0:06:29.120 --> 0:06:32.360
<v Speaker 4>I reckon you'd be a good person to represent Australia

0:06:32.400 --> 0:06:35.640
<v Speaker 4>and a bit of general knowledge trivia, competition.

0:06:35.440 --> 0:06:38.280
<v Speaker 3>Trivia questions just in general. There's a really good one.

0:06:38.320 --> 0:06:40.400
<v Speaker 3>So we'll take some calls very surely. One double three

0:06:40.520 --> 0:06:43.360
<v Speaker 3>six nine three little curious little games you think we

0:06:43.400 --> 0:06:46.839
<v Speaker 3>could put into the Olympics. One double three six nine three. Jimmy,
