1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:04,280
Speaker 1: Question. Yeah, welcome friends to the Christian o'connells Show podcast.

2
00:00:04,559 --> 00:00:06,240
Speaker 2: So as we all try to come to terms with

3
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:09,480
Speaker 2: the shock news that Shane Warn is no longer in

4
00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:12,440
Speaker 2: the world, that it's a death that makes no sense.

5
00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:15,560
Speaker 2: It's not just the age, right, that he's fifty two.

6
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:18,919
Speaker 2: He should not have died at fifty two. It's just him.

7
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:21,520
Speaker 2: There was just something so big about him. He was

8
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:23,720
Speaker 2: you know, people say that phrase, don't they largeer the life?

9
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:26,000
Speaker 2: But he was. You look at any of his highlights.

10
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 2: He literally liked tiger Woods could do it. He would

11
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:32,440
Speaker 2: bend the game, force it to somehow an ancient game,

12
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:35,920
Speaker 2: a rigid game like cricket, but somehow make it bend

13
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 2: to his will. And the way he played cricket was

14
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:41,839
Speaker 2: the way he also lived his life. He put himself

15
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:45,240
Speaker 2: fully into it. There's something really amazing about that, actually

16
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 2: in transcendent about what he did, which is why I

17
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 2: think we're all feeling it today. So one thing also

18
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:52,839
Speaker 2: about Warn is he had time for people and he

19
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 2: loved to love. So today, as much as we're mourning

20
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 2: the sudden death of Shane Warn, we also want to

21
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 2: take a moment to celebrate a great man. An iconic man,

22
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 2: a Melbourne son. Either morning, we're looking for your weakest

23
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 2: claim to Warnye. Some of you will have some shabby

24
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 2: story about a shared passing with Warne. We want to

25
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:14,760
Speaker 2: mark that and record it today. Don't keep that story

26
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 2: hidden away. Called us up today. Remember, no weak stories

27
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:21,039
Speaker 2: about Warny are to be spared. They all need to

28
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 2: be shared today. Nine four one one oh four three.

29
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:26,759
Speaker 2: Jackie boy, you met him? I did.

30
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 3: I met Warne in two thousand and seven during my

31
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 3: first job in radio. I worked in Adelaide and we

32
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:36,479
Speaker 3: were doing a fundraiser at a tennis court. Warnie did

33
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 3: actually so much for charity all his life.

34
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 2: He half we don't even know about. I mean millions.

35
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, well he raised a million dollars alone selling his

36
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 3: baggy green in support of the bushfire recovery. Plus so

37
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 3: much that we don't know about. But he was at

38
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 3: this event. And you could win your way to receive

39
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 3: a serve from Warny on a tennis court. I know

40
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 3: that doesn't make us much sense as facing some spin

41
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 3: bowling by warning, but you could win your way to.

42
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 2: Like receiver serve from Warning. The shoulder must have been

43
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 2: aching or something. He must have been injured surely.

44
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,920
Speaker 3: And I got to meet him after he did it.

45
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 3: I was working at the radio station and he's such

46
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 3: a lovely guy.

47
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:23,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, probably full wattage charisma. This comes from d Christian.

48
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 2: I was in my early twenties watching a local game

49
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 2: of footy Shane's brother was playing in when Shane Warn

50
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 2: suddenly sat on the same wooden fence log only a

51
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 2: meter from me. I was a little starstruck, but tried

52
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 2: to stay cool. That seemed changed when I felt a

53
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 2: rumble along the log. It was showing. Yep, Shane Warn

54
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 2: farted on the log we were sharing whilst watching the footy.

55
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,919
Speaker 2: We both laughed and then he turned to me and went,

56
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 2: that's something you'll never forget. Rip thin King. Your weakest

57
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,640
Speaker 2: claim to Warning, Simone, good morning.

58
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 1: Good morning.

59
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,840

60
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 4: of September up the pantry Gary william Angle Hospital, and

61
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 4: I was born on the fifteenth and his birth notice

62
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 4: is undermine in the newspaper.

63
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:16,799
Speaker 2: That is a great Yeah, Warnie came a long way

64
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 2: from Upper Fine Tree, Gutty. That's amazing, Simon. That's a

65
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 2: good one, strong start.

66
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 5: Thanks for that.

67
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,880

Speaker 1: ended up cleaning bricks and mortar Brits on a house

72
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 1: that's for a renovation and we end up taking the

73
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 1: mortar off on Shane Warne's house in Sane Tilda.

74
00:03:54,960 --> 00:04:04,120

Speaker 1: and it was in so killed he had there was

78
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 1: a wine cellar.

79
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,000

Speaker 2: the all. So that's outside. We don't have a look

88
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:45,560

99
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 6: Hello. Yes, my weakest claim to Warnie is I've come

100
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 6: out of a job interview years and years ago. He

101
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:33,280
Speaker 6: was outside and I've inhaled his cigarette smoke se can.

102
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 2: Hand Okay, Yeah, I mean we're looking for one of many. Yeah,

103
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 2: it's sort of thing you normally want to share. It

104
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 2: inding passive smoke, but it's warning, you know, so all

105
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 2: bets are off. And was he outside nervous about going

106
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 2: for the job interview that you're both doing for the

107
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 2: key role? Was it?

108
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:52,840
Speaker 6: No, he was rich enough that he wouldn't need a

109
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 6: job interview.

110
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 2: All right, he was doing the interview. Maybe it was just.

111
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,239
Speaker 6: Outside on the straight after I got out.

112
00:05:58,080 --> 00:05:58,159
Speaker 5: And.

113
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:04,239
Speaker 2: Yat, Thank you, Lauren. Thanks, Sir Clarin. Can't have any confusion, Adam,

114
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:05,159
Speaker 2: good morning.

115
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 7: Good morning guys. My weakest claim to Warne was I

116
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 7: was sort of. After hearing that his tragic passing, I

117
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 7: was flipping from my Facebook feed and thought that one

118
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 7: of my best mates from primary school actually won award

119
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:18,599
Speaker 7: in nineteen ninety two playing cricket at the Elston m

120
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 7: Cricket Club and Warney presented the award to win. He

121
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:22,039
Speaker 7: had a photo with him and everything.

122
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:26,559
Speaker 2: That is pretty cool, And so was your friend pretty

123
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 2: good at cricket? He must have been great.

124
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 7: He was very good. But he funnily enough, he grew

125
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 7: up to become a priest, but he didn't pursue cricket.

126
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:38,919
Speaker 2: But yeah, Warn he turned him maybe, Adam, thank you

127
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 2: very much. You cool. Have a great day, guys, play Sharon.

128
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:44,039
Speaker 2: What's your weakest claim to Warning?

129
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 8: Hello?

130
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 5: My weakest claim to Warning is that my brother played

131
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 5: football with him when they were probably for the sixth

132
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 5: between six and eight in Country Galley and the football

133
00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 5: team was named the Fleets because they're only little Fellers.

134
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 5: It wasn't until later in life that we realized that

135
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 5: it was Shane Warne he played football because my mum

136
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:08,600
Speaker 5: pulled a photo out the football team photo and said

137
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 5: that she played with Shane Warn.

138
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 6: So I love that.

139
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 2: And there was just an eight year old on a

140
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 2: dart on a chugging the beer.

141
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 3: We should know that quite possibly.

142
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 2: That's a lovely one. Thank you for sharing. I have

143
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 2: a great day and you Andy.

144
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 1: Hey, how are you, Christian?

145
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 2: I'm good, budd. I loving all these stories about warning.

146
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 2: What have you got for us?

147
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 8: My week exclaimed flame with warnings? That he stole me

148
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 8: hot chips?

149
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 4: What?

150
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 2: Just anything?

151
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 5: You know?

152
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 2: Someone hold the o bits.

153
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 8: What we we're coaching a like a Melbourne Stars junior gala,

154
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 8: like a day for their junior members at the mcg

155
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 8: And we went for the lunch break and I came

156
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 8: back with a bucket of chips. And anyway, he kicked

157
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 8: off the session and he said, Mada, I'm going for

158
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 8: a dart and he said, I know, is your chip

159
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 8: sitting over there? Said yeah, absolutely help yourself to one.

160
