Can't go into details just yet 0:00:28.240 --> 0:00:30.680 because we're still pulling them together, but it is a 0:00:30.880 --> 0:00:33.360 very big show today. More on that churn the next hour. 0:00:33.960 --> 0:00:36.559 First of all, let's go back to Tokyo yesterday. What 0:00:36.720 --> 0:00:38.720 another insane day. 0:00:38.920 --> 0:00:41.519 I could really spend all day on the couch if 0:00:41.560 --> 0:00:42.000 I want to do. 0:00:42.080 --> 0:00:45.479 It almost happen under the guise of research from just 0:00:45.600 --> 0:00:48.360 sitting on the couch eating whilst I see people do 0:00:48.400 --> 0:00:51.200 that what I could never do another may say, three 0:00:51.240 --> 0:00:54.320 gold medals for a team Australia. I was also obviously 0:00:54.360 --> 0:00:56.720 seeing how Australia was doing and the curious events. Now 0:00:57.080 --> 0:00:59.360 Great Britain appear to just have a strategy for coming 0:00:59.440 --> 0:01:02.640 fourth in everything. And then in the rowing I saw 0:01:02.680 --> 0:01:06.920 something I've never seen before they rammed the Italians. Now, 0:01:07.000 --> 0:01:09.000 I don't know, he's a hangover from being booed out 0:01:09.040 --> 0:01:12.200 of the Euros. But I've never how do you know 0:01:12.280 --> 0:01:13.119 you just go straight? 0:01:13.240 --> 0:01:16.080 I've never seen somebody go of course in rowing before. 0:01:16.400 --> 0:01:19.000 And I think GB were Team GB were one of 0:01:19.040 --> 0:01:21.560 the favorites in the rowing. They're one of the fastinations 0:01:21.600 --> 0:01:24.280 at rowing. Yeah, yet they decided all right. 0:01:24.680 --> 0:01:28.240 Someone blamed the heat heat and they went straight straight, 0:01:28.600 --> 0:01:30.240 left straight? What's straight? Really? 0:01:30.280 --> 0:01:31.360 Are the usual left arm? 0:01:31.400 --> 0:01:34.600 Yes? What's left? My left? Your left? You're right. They're 0:01:34.600 --> 0:01:38.280 my home watching on the couch. They rammed the Italians. 0:01:38.880 --> 0:01:40.960 I'm telling you what. The Italian did not like it either. 0:01:41.360 --> 0:01:42.720 It was bizarre scenes. 0:01:42.840 --> 0:01:45.600 The only other person I've known to go wayward in 0:01:45.640 --> 0:01:47.000 a rowing boat is your daughter. 0:01:47.319 --> 0:01:50.200 Yes, sure, a couple of months ago. I'm not supposed 0:01:50.240 --> 0:01:51.920 to never mention this again, but anyway, it's certainly in 0:01:51.920 --> 0:01:53.400 the show. Yeah, a couple of months ago, I was 0:01:53.440 --> 0:01:56.040 watching my daughter to a rowing or again, not an 0:01:56.080 --> 0:01:58.920 Olympic contender. I think she be me saying that it's 0:01:58.960 --> 0:02:02.480 not it's not it's not her vocation. She didn't decide 0:02:02.480 --> 0:02:05.280 that after she put her boat into a tree that 0:02:05.400 --> 0:02:07.560 actually took her five minutes to get out of the 0:02:07.560 --> 0:02:11.760 tree and shrubs. Three more races started and completed. Well, 0:02:11.840 --> 0:02:15.359 my poor daughter. While I was watching videoing it, trying 0:02:15.400 --> 0:02:17.440 not to laugh because I was videoing at my hands. 0:02:17.480 --> 0:02:19.200 When do we watch it? My hands are shaking. You 0:02:19.200 --> 0:02:22.320 can hear me go because it is funny. I don't 0:02:22.360 --> 0:02:24.920 know whether the Italians heard about this or the sorry 0:02:24.919 --> 0:02:26.880 TEMGB heard about this. And this is what we do. 0:02:27.000 --> 0:02:28.480 If you can't we bother to win, Let's just take 0:02:28.520 --> 0:02:29.079 out the Italian. 0:02:29.080 --> 0:02:30.079 There's got to be a shortcut. 0:02:30.200 --> 0:02:34.760 Yeah, and then for Team Australia. So two rowing golds. 0:02:35.120 --> 0:02:37.760 I didn't even know. I was blame myself. I didn't 0:02:37.760 --> 0:02:39.600 even know we were good at rowing again when we were 0:02:39.560 --> 0:02:42.600 when I was a kid. The Awesome Foursome, Yes, in 0:02:42.680 --> 0:02:44.600 the early nineties and mid nineties. 0:02:44.600 --> 0:02:46.640 It's a TV advert that ended up doing as well. 0:02:46.800 --> 0:02:47.720 Oh who is it for? 0:02:48.000 --> 0:02:51.239 I think it was four Golden Circle pineapples. 0:02:51.480 --> 0:02:53.480 I'm trying to remember. There's a famous advert. I saw 0:02:53.480 --> 0:02:56.440 it when I first moved here that the Awesome Foursome did. 0:02:56.760 --> 0:02:58.240 What is it? Rio? What is it? There's a fan 0:02:58.600 --> 0:03:03.720 Golden Valley that's peaches, right, they need to film some 0:03:03.840 --> 0:03:07.760 new adverts with the new awesome foursomes times too. That's it. 0:03:07.880 --> 0:03:11.000 Not pineapples, no, no, but it's all in the ken fruit. 0:03:11.639 --> 0:03:14.079 It's all in that aisle. It's all in that aisle. 0:03:14.320 --> 0:03:16.680 So yeah, anyway, Yes, they two gold medals in the rowing, 0:03:16.720 --> 0:03:19.760 which was incredible, and then another gold medal for someone 0:03:19.760 --> 0:03:22.720 who's just on fire moment timers another one. 0:03:22.720 --> 0:03:24.840 And Dean Boxel, I mean the coach who went viral 0:03:24.880 --> 0:03:26.399 the other day after her first win. 0:03:27.160 --> 0:03:32.359 Still no air shagging though, very passionate, very passionate, as 0:03:32.880 --> 0:03:36.880 he knew, he knew one false air thrust he could 0:03:36.880 --> 0:03:41.320 go viral again. But I'll tell you what, what a 0:03:41.560 --> 0:03:44.040 unique relationship. And we see this all the time in 0:03:44.120 --> 0:03:46.400 Spot between the coaches and their their athletes, and they 0:03:46.440 --> 0:03:48.960 spend hours and hours and hours with them, good days 0:03:48.960 --> 0:03:50.560 and bad days when they're not up for it, they 0:03:50.560 --> 0:03:52.680 still have to do all the training. What he's got 0:03:52.720 --> 0:03:56.119 like a talismanic effect with that with that team as well. 0:03:56.240 --> 0:03:58.840 They really are connected, aren't they. Yeah?

So yeah, 0:05:19.480 --> 0:05:22.560 it's called seven plus yesterday from the Channel seven coverage. 0:05:22.600 --> 0:05:26.039 We're lucky at to have a goat a bona fide 0:05:26.040 --> 0:05:28.840 Olympic legend, not just an Australian icon, but a global 0:05:28.839 --> 0:05:32.080 one at the Olympics as well. Ian thought Jack post 0:05:32.120 --> 0:05:34.039 It does the show with me wrote to you years 0:05:34.080 --> 0:05:35.360 ago a bit like a load of kids. 0:05:35.400 --> 0:05:37.400 I was a primary school kid ahead of the two 0:05:37.440 --> 0:05:40.440 thousand Olympics, Thorpy, and we were tasked with writing a 0:05:40.480 --> 0:05:43.000 letter to our favorite Olympian. And I imagine thousands of 0:05:43.000 --> 0:05:45.839 schools across the country do this. So hundreds of thousands 0:05:45.880 --> 0:05:48.839 of letters every year must before the Olympics must be 0:05:48.920 --> 0:05:53.760 written to Olympians. They can't possibly go through all those letters, Thorpy. 0:05:53.839 --> 0:05:56.440 Can you confirm or deny? Do you read the letters 0:05:56.760 --> 0:05:57.120 we get. 0:05:57.320 --> 0:06:02.080 We two k little letters mine at the Sydney Olympics 0:06:02.120 --> 0:06:05.599 used to arrive in boxes. Literally there were thousands. 0:06:05.880 --> 0:06:08.080 Did you see one from a young kid with terrible 0:06:08.120 --> 0:06:12.599 handwriting called Jack postly legible mainly pictures crude ones as well. 0:06:12.960 --> 0:06:16.279 Yeah, I think I remember that one specifically Crown. 0:06:16.360 --> 0:06:18.200 It was always a green Cown CD you look out. 0:06:18.279 --> 0:06:19.240 I'm so glad I got to you. 0:06:21.120 --> 0:06:24.840 Yes, I think it's enemy is actually kept hers and 0:06:25.040 --> 0:06:28.480 has spent years actually riding back to people. 0:06:29.240 --> 0:06:31.560 That's might be nice of you to do that. 0:06:35.040 --> 0:06:37.960 It is something slightly different as an organization that was 0:06:38.040 --> 0:06:40.880 in many in Sydney, and I actually had some kids 0:06:40.960 --> 0:06:42.600 helped me right back to. 0:06:43.839 --> 0:06:51.680 Out Yeah thor sweatshop.

There were lots of footballers of the 0:07:10.360 --> 0:07:13.080 eighties that I wrote to. None of them wrote back. 0:07:13.120 --> 0:07:15.280 What you were lucky if you got just as signed photo. 0:07:15.680 --> 0:07:18.800 There was no, that would have amazing.

I have to sign like a fresh batch. 0:10:13.640 --> 0:10:15.160 That's what I wonder. And I don't want to take 0:10:15.200 --> 0:10:17.480 anything away from your Drew Kerry one, Rachel. But if 0:10:17.559 --> 0:10:19.360 Drew just signed a whole bunch of them at the 0:10:19.360 --> 0:10:20.199 start of the season, you. 0:10:20.160 --> 0:10:26.400 Aren't taking away from him. But then then in turn. 0:10:26.240 --> 0:10:32.320 Comes and writes the name on it after. 0:10:31.360 --> 0:10:33.920 The thing she annoyed, Rachel. She doesn't want to start 0:10:33.920 --> 0:10:36.200 the day annoyed with her favorite guys. In the morning. 0:10:36.200 --> 0:10:39.559 If Ronald McDonald didn't right back to me, then nobody everyone. 0:10:39.960 --> 0:10:43.320 All right, Ronald McDonald, that's for sure. 0:10:43.160 --> 0:10:45.560 Absolutely, And I know for a fact that Drew Drew 0:10:45.600 --> 0:10:48.160 would have known it was you, Rachel, and wrote that himself. Again, 0:10:48.679 --> 0:10:52.640 I want to believe in that world, all right, Rachel, 0:10:52.679 --> 0:10:53.280 have a good day. 0:10:53.720 --> 0:10:55.520 Thank you. 0:10:55.640 --> 0:10:58.120 How could you possibly know that I'd like to believe 0:10:58.120 --> 0:10:58.600 in that world? 0:10:58.600 --> 0:11:01.280 Okay? All right? Just like these the Father Christmas? What 0:11:01.320 --> 0:11:03.560 harms it? Do you? Sorry about this? Mickey? 0:11:04.320 --> 0:11:07.280 It's okay, mate, thank you, Mickey? 0:11:07.320 --> 0:11:09.199 Who did you write it to? Mickey? 0:11:09.559 --> 0:11:11.560 When I was nine years old back in ninety one, 0:11:11.640 --> 0:11:15.640 I wrote to Michael Jackson. Oh yeah, yeah, Well I 0:11:15.720 --> 0:11:17.800 saw that. Gave up after like a year because I 0:11:17.800 --> 0:11:18.920 thought I was never going to get. 0:11:18.760 --> 0:11:21.080 A response, moved on to somebody else. 0:11:21.440 --> 0:11:25.560 Well pretty much no. I waited patiently, but two years 0:11:25.640 --> 0:11:28.920 later I got a response. It was the Michael Jackson 0:11:28.960 --> 0:11:31.920 fan Club, and I was all excited. I restored my 0:11:31.960 --> 0:11:35.199 faith in humanity. None of the other kids at school 0:11:35.200 --> 0:11:37.280 would believe me, so I took the letter to school 0:11:37.280 --> 0:11:40.320 and showed everybody. Look, I got a response to Michael Jackson, 0:11:40.360 --> 0:11:41.640 and they all said it was fake. 0:11:41.679 --> 0:11:44.360 And I don't want to there's nothing worse at school 0:11:44.360 --> 0:11:47.959 when people don't believe it that Bubbles did theay. He 0:11:48.040 --> 0:11:49.520 just gets that chim to do and that's where he 0:11:49.520 --> 0:11:51.800 lives here in that fair ground haunted house. 0:11:52.440 --> 0:11:54.840 It was pretty cool though, because, like you know, it 0:11:54.920 --> 0:11:57.120 came from his fan club and it had his little 0:11:57.160 --> 0:12:00.280 logo in the corner doing the moonwalk and signed by 0:12:00.320 --> 0:12:02.560 Michael Joseph Jackson and stuff like that. 0:12:02.600 --> 0:12:04.240 It was totally a little middle name in there to 0:12:04.280 --> 0:12:05.960 make it that I didn't know there was a Joseph 0:12:06.000 --> 0:12:06.360 in the middle. 0:12:06.400 --> 0:12:10.920 Well, yeah he's MJJ. I think it's after his father, right, 0:12:11.080 --> 0:12:14.040 But yeah, that was pretty cool. So that was pretty exciting. 0:12:14.080 --> 0:12:16.080 But yeah, I don't know where that letter would be now. 0:12:16.080 --> 0:12:17.679 I think Mum chucked it out a long time ago. 0:12:17.720 --> 0:12:19.280 I think it was just junk the last. 0:12:19.160 --> 0:12:22.240 Couple of years burnt it. Yeah, Mickey, let's move on. 0:12:23.040 --> 0:12:25.720 Christian know Connell's show podcast. 0:12:25.960 --> 0:12:29.400 Big There yesterday in Tokyo. Three gold medals to Team Australia. 0:12:29.880 --> 0:12:32.760 Our Goldathon means that every time Team Australia win a gold, 0:12:32.800 --> 0:12:38.200 we give away a golden washing machine. Now on Monday, 0:12:40.520 --> 0:12:42.960 first gold for the Gold of on a Monday Show 0:12:43.120 --> 0:12:46.760 but because listener Mick texted him with an interesting point 0:12:46.880 --> 0:12:49.720 fan point, saying, look, there are actually four women each 0:12:49.720 --> 0:12:51.720 getting a gold medal? Should it not be four golden 0:12:51.800 --> 0:12:54.040 washing machines? So we asked Rob for me and as 0:12:54.120 --> 0:12:56.320 can we actually give away four? Technically it's one on 0:12:56.400 --> 0:12:59.680 the medal table And he has set a very dangerous 0:12:59.720 --> 0:13:03.480 presscident because obviously two of the girls at won yesterday 0:13:03.760 --> 0:13:06.559 were won by teams with four people in. Are we 0:13:06.559 --> 0:13:08.640 really then going to be giving away by that launch 0:13:08.720 --> 0:13:12.160 it that we started with Monday nine wash machines, I 0:13:12.280 --> 0:13:19.719 tell you in five minutes time late? All right, your 0:13:19.760 --> 0:13:25.040 emails late to the party are first. Then Nick Scary Kennedy? 0:13:25.960 --> 0:13:27.040 Are we giving him that? Oh? 0:13:27.320 --> 0:13:29.319 I can't remember that caller coming on air, but. 0:13:29.320 --> 0:13:32.240 Imposed anywhere, let's go with let's it's Nick Scary Kennedy. 0:13:32.280 --> 0:13:36.040 Everyone with a weak Olympic claim to fame. In two 0:13:36.120 --> 0:13:39.240 thousand and four I went to Canberra for a school camp. 0:13:39.559 --> 0:13:42.079 Had an awesome time. We went there where the Olympians 0:13:42.120 --> 0:13:44.760 were training and it had to be quiet. Some athlete 0:13:44.840 --> 0:13:47.120 trainees were eight years of age and sum them up 0:13:47.120 --> 0:13:50.200 to twenty one, and a couple were training for the circus. 0:13:50.720 --> 0:13:54.640 This is all he says, So I know right, it 0:13:54.880 --> 0:13:57.400 ends here, right, And I've emailed him back going and 0:13:58.040 --> 0:14:00.800 surely there's morses one. You didn't even say goodbye. You're 0:14:00.840 --> 0:14:02.640 just like, that's all I need to say to that guy. 0:14:03.000 --> 0:14:06.400 Right, I've never heard that. Maybe it's true as well 0:14:06.440 --> 0:14:09.040 that they train together and the circus together. 0:14:08.840 --> 0:14:11.440 Because as you think about the feats of athleticism, as 0:14:11.440 --> 0:14:14.520 you see and you associate with the circus, do they 0:14:14.520 --> 0:14:18.480 train together or are the future Olympians told he listen 0:14:18.520 --> 0:14:20.480 if you don't worry if you don't make it out 0:14:20.480 --> 0:14:24.040 to the Olympics, there, mister Fabia's traveling circus is ready 0:14:24.080 --> 0:14:25.560 to have you on the trapeze and high one. 0:14:25.640 --> 0:14:27.200 Or is it more of a punishment if you don't 0:14:27.240 --> 0:14:29.360 train hard enough and get to the limit, You've got 0:14:29.360 --> 0:14:30.560 to travel around the circus? 0:14:31.640 --> 0:14:34.560 Roll up, roll up, circus is in town. You're cleaning 0:14:34.560 --> 0:14:36.640 out the lion crap for the rest of your life. Okay, 0:14:36.840 --> 0:14:40.080 no podium finished for you. Scary. This is way scary 0:14:40.200 --> 0:14:42.600 because he gives us something, he disappears. He's so scary, 0:14:42.800 --> 0:14:45.520 Nick scary Kennedy. We need more details about this. The 0:14:45.600 --> 0:14:48.720 circus training in tandem with the Olympic team. We now 0:14:48.760 --> 0:14:54.120 go to Argentina and Matthaeas. Matthaeus is a listener. He's 0:14:54.120 --> 0:14:58.080 been listening to the show since twenty nineteen. In Argentina, 0:14:58.120 --> 0:15:01.080 he's learning English, and his English teacher said it would 0:15:01.080 --> 0:15:04.080 help your understanding of listening and comprehending English to find 0:15:04.080 --> 0:15:07.840 some English spoken word podcasts. He made the mistake, I 0:15:07.840 --> 0:15:09.480 think in the best way to get up to speak 0:15:09.480 --> 0:15:12.280 with English isn't listening to someone like Stephen Fry's audio books. 0:15:12.720 --> 0:15:14.800 It's this random noise of a show. 0:15:14.880 --> 0:15:16.000 It's going to take you a lot long. 0:15:16.000 --> 0:15:18.320 I mean, what did he make of the p show 0:15:18.360 --> 0:15:21.560 the other day? I mean, what is the Argentinian word 0:15:21.680 --> 0:15:24.400 for the humble pea? Anyway, Mattheus is back. 0:15:24.480 --> 0:15:25.720 Hello, Matteas, I checked. 0:15:25.760 --> 0:15:27.520 I haven't heardum in two years. I presumed he'd just 0:15:27.520 --> 0:15:29.640 given up his English comprehension, but he still listened to 0:15:29.720 --> 0:15:33.080 the show. Christian, I'm writing because of a gold medal 0:15:33.480 --> 0:15:37.520 my grandfather had. Here in Argentina, we have an urban 0:15:37.600 --> 0:15:42.160 legend similar to the werewolf story that's called El Lobizan. 0:15:42.520 --> 0:15:42.840 Okay. 0:15:43.720 --> 0:15:46.040 It says that if you are this is an amazing story. Right. 0:15:46.080 --> 0:15:48.240 He sent me Wikipedia link to this, and I was 0:15:48.280 --> 0:15:50.480 reading up about it before the show. Get a load 0:15:50.480 --> 0:15:54.120 of this. Then. This is in Argentina. El Lobizon says 0:15:54.120 --> 0:15:57.240 that if you are the seventh son, you are cursed 0:15:58.320 --> 0:16:01.840 and you will become aware once you turn of age. 0:16:02.600 --> 0:16:05.440 At least that's what my grandma told me. Now, imagine 0:16:05.480 --> 0:16:08.040 young Mataias is told by his nan that this is 0:16:08.040 --> 0:16:09.920 what happens to people. In order to get rid of 0:16:09.920 --> 0:16:13.000 the curse, one would have to be adopted by the president. 0:16:15.640 --> 0:16:19.200 All of this is true. I did a two tab search. 0:16:19.360 --> 0:16:22.840 Right, there's only one way out of this. 0:16:26.120 --> 0:16:30.080 Guess what. My grand grandpa was a seventh son, so 0:16:30.160 --> 0:16:33.240 he was adopted by the then president. I hope I'm 0:16:33.280 --> 0:16:37.040 pronouncing this right, hippolichio you' agani and he was given 0:16:37.040 --> 0:16:38.840 a gold medal. I would send you a picture, but 0:16:38.960 --> 0:16:41.400 unfortunately my grandmother hid it and we have no idea 0:16:41.440 --> 0:16:43.320 where it is. I thought this was just a crazy 0:16:43.360 --> 0:16:45.120 old tradition, but after fair bit of Google, I found 0:16:45.120 --> 0:16:46.760 this article that sent me a link to it. It 0:16:46.960 --> 0:16:50.000 is a very well known tradition and superstitition. 0:16:50.200 --> 0:16:52.920 So how many adopted sons would each president have. 0:16:54.080 --> 0:16:56.280 We need to get into all this about the cure 0:16:56.400 --> 0:17:01.480 story of El Lobazan Christian. This is from Mortimer. Listen 0:17:01.520 --> 0:17:04.160 to Shary morning other day. I was heading into work. 0:17:04.200 --> 0:17:06.760 I couldn't call in. Jack was talking about his collection 0:17:06.840 --> 0:17:07.400 of wizards. 0:17:07.760 --> 0:17:09.760 No I wasn't. I wasn't talking about them. 0:17:09.880 --> 0:17:11.960 He heard what he hears is what he heard you 0:17:12.000 --> 0:17:14.440 were talking about. How was a young child your best 0:17:14.440 --> 0:17:17.240 friends were your wizard mates. In your bedroom you had 0:17:17.359 --> 0:17:18.440 twenty to thirty of them. 0:17:18.560 --> 0:17:21.600 I accidentally got one or two wizards, and then Auntie's. 0:17:21.160 --> 0:17:22.800 And how does one accidentally get a wizard? 0:17:23.160 --> 0:17:25.639 Aunties and uncles thought that I was. I loved wizards, 0:17:25.680 --> 0:17:26.119 so every. 0:17:26.000 --> 0:17:27.879 Other they like a young boy that liked a wizard. 0:17:27.880 --> 0:17:29.240 And wrote to Ronald McDonald. 0:17:28.960 --> 0:17:31.600 Every Birthday and Christmas, I'd either get a wizard statue 0:17:31.680 --> 0:17:35.560 or a dragon statue, and then in a gift. I 0:17:35.560 --> 0:17:37.160 didn't want to show them out, so I put them 0:17:37.160 --> 0:17:38.879 on a shelf in my room. That probably looked like 0:17:38.880 --> 0:17:41.120 I was displaying them, but I was merely storing them 0:17:41.160 --> 0:17:41.960 somewhere out of the way. 0:17:42.000 --> 0:17:44.359 Sure, it's how you tell the story. Now let's go 0:17:44.480 --> 0:17:47.240 with it. Anyway, Mortimo was horrified the other day when 0:17:47.280 --> 0:17:51.119 you said that you would burn the wizards. Oh, I 0:17:51.160 --> 0:17:51.840 did on it? 0:17:52.000 --> 0:17:52.600 Yeah, okay. 0:17:52.680 --> 0:17:54.320 He said he thinks it'd be a nice idea. Why 0:17:54.320 --> 0:17:55.920 don't you bring them in to give them away to 0:17:56.000 --> 0:17:57.919 people that would like it? And we called it the 0:17:58.000 --> 0:18:01.359 Great Wizard Giveaway. To Mortimer, this is a lovely idea. 0:18:01.640 --> 0:18:03.000 Do not burn the wizards. 0:18:03.040 --> 0:18:04.760 I don't have the wizards and all the drugs? 0:18:04.800 --> 0:18:07.520 Are you so devensive about them? Where are the wizards? 0:18:07.560 --> 0:18:09.960 I don't have more time, upset, and I think he 0:18:10.000 --> 0:18:11.440 speaks from many of us were. 0:18:11.320 --> 0:18:13.119 You can ask my mum, But I'm pretty sure we 0:18:13.160 --> 0:18:13.919 don't have the wizards. 0:18:13.920 --> 0:18:15.320 Could you check as well? If you don't have it, 0:18:15.359 --> 0:18:17.200 please don't burn them, okay. Otherwise I look forward to 0:18:17.200 --> 0:18:18.800 one day to doing the Great Wizard Giveaway. 0:18:19.560 --> 0:18:23.680 This is the Christian O'Connell show podcast. 0:18:23.440 --> 0:18:28.400 Success, huge success this week from Team Australia. Yesterday Big Day. 0:18:29.480 --> 0:18:33.440 But that Big Day created some issues for this show 0:18:33.520 --> 0:18:36.600
