WEBVTT - MINI: Weak Claims to Shane

0:00:00.560 --> 0:00:04.280
<v Speaker 1>Question. Yeah, welcome friends to the Christian o'connells Show podcast.

0:00:04.559 --> 0:00:06.240
<v Speaker 2>So as we all try to come to terms with

0:00:06.440 --> 0:00:09.480
<v Speaker 2>the shock news that Shane Warn is no longer in

0:00:09.520 --> 0:00:12.440
<v Speaker 2>the world, that it's a death that makes no sense.

0:00:13.119 --> 0:00:15.560
<v Speaker 2>It's not just the age, right, that he's fifty two.

0:00:15.600 --> 0:00:18.919
<v Speaker 2>He should not have died at fifty two. It's just him.

0:00:19.000 --> 0:00:21.520
<v Speaker 2>There was just something so big about him. He was

0:00:21.600 --> 0:00:23.720
<v Speaker 2>you know, people say that phrase, don't they largeer the life?

0:00:23.760 --> 0:00:26.000
<v Speaker 2>But he was. You look at any of his highlights.

0:00:26.440 --> 0:00:28.720
<v Speaker 2>He literally liked tiger Woods could do it. He would

0:00:28.840 --> 0:00:32.440
<v Speaker 2>bend the game, force it to somehow an ancient game,

0:00:32.680 --> 0:00:35.920
<v Speaker 2>a rigid game like cricket, but somehow make it bend

0:00:35.920 --> 0:00:39.760
<v Speaker 2>to his will. And the way he played cricket was

0:00:39.800 --> 0:00:41.839
<v Speaker 2>the way he also lived his life. He put himself

0:00:41.880 --> 0:00:45.240
<v Speaker 2>fully into it. There's something really amazing about that, actually

0:00:45.240 --> 0:00:48.000
<v Speaker 2>in transcendent about what he did, which is why I

0:00:48.000 --> 0:00:50.400
<v Speaker 2>think we're all feeling it today. So one thing also

0:00:50.400 --> 0:00:52.839
<v Speaker 2>about Warn is he had time for people and he

0:00:53.000 --> 0:00:56.000
<v Speaker 2>loved to love. So today, as much as we're mourning

0:00:56.280 --> 0:00:58.120
<v Speaker 2>the sudden death of Shane Warn, we also want to

0:00:58.120 --> 0:01:01.480
<v Speaker 2>take a moment to celebrate a great man. An iconic man,

0:01:01.520 --> 0:01:04.880
<v Speaker 2>a Melbourne son. Either morning, we're looking for your weakest

0:01:04.920 --> 0:01:08.160
<v Speaker 2>claim to Warnye. Some of you will have some shabby

0:01:08.240 --> 0:01:11.920
<v Speaker 2>story about a shared passing with Warne. We want to

0:01:11.959 --> 0:01:14.760
<v Speaker 2>mark that and record it today. Don't keep that story

0:01:14.800 --> 0:01:18.560
<v Speaker 2>hidden away. Called us up today. Remember, no weak stories

0:01:18.600 --> 0:01:21.039
<v Speaker 2>about Warny are to be spared. They all need to

0:01:21.040 --> 0:01:24.520
<v Speaker 2>be shared today. Nine four one one oh four three.

0:01:24.840 --> 0:01:26.759
<v Speaker 2>Jackie boy, you met him? I did.

0:01:26.800 --> 0:01:29.120
<v Speaker 3>I met Warne in two thousand and seven during my

0:01:29.200 --> 0:01:32.080
<v Speaker 3>first job in radio. I worked in Adelaide and we

0:01:32.080 --> 0:01:36.479
<v Speaker 3>were doing a fundraiser at a tennis court. Warnie did

0:01:36.520 --> 0:01:38.800
<v Speaker 3>actually so much for charity all his life.

0:01:38.840 --> 0:01:42.120
<v Speaker 2>He half we don't even know about. I mean millions.

0:01:42.480 --> 0:01:45.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, well he raised a million dollars alone selling his

0:01:45.319 --> 0:01:49.640
<v Speaker 3>baggy green in support of the bushfire recovery. Plus so

0:01:49.760 --> 0:01:51.400
<v Speaker 3>much that we don't know about. But he was at

0:01:51.440 --> 0:01:55.800
<v Speaker 3>this event. And you could win your way to receive

0:01:55.880 --> 0:01:58.680
<v Speaker 3>a serve from Warny on a tennis court. I know

0:01:58.760 --> 0:02:02.560
<v Speaker 3>that doesn't make us much sense as facing some spin

0:02:02.640 --> 0:02:04.800
<v Speaker 3>bowling by warning, but you could win your way to.

0:02:06.640 --> 0:02:09.280
<v Speaker 2>Like receiver serve from Warning. The shoulder must have been

0:02:09.320 --> 0:02:11.880
<v Speaker 2>aching or something. He must have been injured surely.

0:02:12.639 --> 0:02:15.920
<v Speaker 3>And I got to meet him after he did it.

0:02:16.000 --> 0:02:18.160
<v Speaker 3>I was working at the radio station and he's such

0:02:18.160 --> 0:02:18.960
<v Speaker 3>a lovely guy.

0:02:19.680 --> 0:02:23.959
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, probably full wattage charisma. This comes from d Christian.

0:02:24.000 --> 0:02:26.000
<v Speaker 2>I was in my early twenties watching a local game

0:02:26.000 --> 0:02:30.440
<v Speaker 2>of footy Shane's brother was playing in when Shane Warn

0:02:30.560 --> 0:02:34.040
<v Speaker 2>suddenly sat on the same wooden fence log only a

0:02:34.120 --> 0:02:36.680
<v Speaker 2>meter from me. I was a little starstruck, but tried

0:02:36.680 --> 0:02:39.120
<v Speaker 2>to stay cool. That seemed changed when I felt a

0:02:39.200 --> 0:02:42.960
<v Speaker 2>rumble along the log. It was showing. Yep, Shane Warn

0:02:43.080 --> 0:02:46.520
<v Speaker 2>farted on the log we were sharing whilst watching the footy.

0:02:47.320 --> 0:02:49.919
<v Speaker 2>We both laughed and then he turned to me and went,

0:02:49.960 --> 0:02:56.560
<v Speaker 2>that's something you'll never forget. Rip thin King. Your weakest

0:02:56.639 --> 0:02:59.640
<v Speaker 2>claim to Warning, Simone, good morning.

0:03:00.320 --> 0:03:00.880
<v Speaker 1>Good morning.

0:03:01.400 --> 0:03:04.840

0:03:04.840 --> 0:03:07.720
<v Speaker 4>of September up the pantry Gary william Angle Hospital, and

0:03:07.720 --> 0:03:10.320
<v Speaker 4>I was born on the fifteenth and his birth notice

0:03:10.360 --> 0:03:11.880
<v Speaker 4>is undermine in the newspaper.

0:03:13.000 --> 0:03:16.799
<v Speaker 2>That is a great Yeah, Warnie came a long way

0:03:16.840 --> 0:03:20.280
<v Speaker 2>from Upper Fine Tree, Gutty. That's amazing, Simon. That's a

0:03:20.280 --> 0:03:21.400

0:03:49.160 --> 0:03:51.240
<v Speaker 1>that's for a renovation and we end up taking the

0:03:51.320 --> 0:03:54.280
<v Speaker 1>mortar off on Shane Warne's house in Sane Tilda.

0:03:54.960 --> 0:04:04.120

<v Speaker 1>and it was in so killed he had there was

0:04:14.240 --> 0:04:15.280
<v Speaker 1>a wine cellar.

0:04:16.480 --> 0:04:18.000
<v Speaker 2>Had a good look around if you had to take

0:04:18.040 --> 0:04:19.800
<v Speaker 2>the all. So that's outside. We don't have a look

0:04:19.800 --> 0:04:24.000

<v Speaker 2>this morning of our weakest claim to fame. Were simply

0:04:35.760 --> 0:04:38.080
<v Speaker 2>calling it weakest claim to Warnie. Did you meet him?

0:04:38.400 --> 0:04:41.920
<v Speaker 2>What happened? Diane? Welcome to the show, Thanks Christian.

0:04:42.200 --> 0:04:45.560

0:04:45.680 --> 0:04:48.719
<v Speaker 6>ninety two, ninety three he and the refuse of school

0:04:48.760 --> 0:04:52.120

0:04:52.120 --> 0:04:54.119
<v Speaker 6>ball that you're so lucky.

0:04:54.200 --> 0:04:58.680
<v Speaker 2>Not one legend, two legends if you include my life,

0:04:58.839 --> 0:04:59.720
<v Speaker 2>the trifecta.

0:05:00.440 --> 0:05:01.960
<v Speaker 1>And he was so cute.

0:05:02.640 --> 0:05:04.880
<v Speaker 6>He was He wasn't as fa as all anything. He

0:05:04.920 --> 0:05:06.679

<v Speaker 2>a caller share on that, Diane, Thank you, Lauren, good morning.

0:05:19.360 --> 0:05:25.240
<v Speaker 6>Hello. Yes, my weakest claim to Warnie is I've come

0:05:25.279 --> 0:05:28.560
<v Speaker 6>out of a job interview years and years ago. He

0:05:28.760 --> 0:05:33.280
<v Speaker 6>was outside and I've inhaled his cigarette smoke se can.

0:05:33.279 --> 0:05:37.560
<v Speaker 2>Hand Okay, Yeah, I mean we're looking for one of many. Yeah,

0:05:38.839 --> 0:05:41.200
<v Speaker 2>it's sort of thing you normally want to share. It

0:05:41.320 --> 0:05:45.080
<v Speaker 2>inding passive smoke, but it's warning, you know, so all

0:05:45.080 --> 0:05:48.240
<v Speaker 2>bets are off. And was he outside nervous about going

0:05:48.279 --> 0:05:49.800
<v Speaker 2>for the job interview that you're both doing for the

0:05:49.839 --> 0:05:50.520
<v Speaker 2>key role? Was it?

0:05:51.360 --> 0:05:52.840
<v Speaker 6>No, he was rich enough that he wouldn't need a

0:05:52.880 --> 0:05:53.800
<v Speaker 6>job interview.

0:05:53.480 --> 0:05:56.240
<v Speaker 2>All right, he was doing the interview. Maybe it was just.

0:05:56.240 --> 0:05:58.239
<v Speaker 6>Outside on the straight after I got out.

0:05:58.080 --> 0:05:58.159
<v Speaker 5>And.

0:05:59.720 --> 0:06:04.239
<v Speaker 2>Yat, Thank you, Lauren. Thanks, Sir Clarin. Can't have any confusion, Adam,

0:06:04.320 --> 0:06:05.159
<v Speaker 2>good morning.

0:06:05.640 --> 0:06:08.000
<v Speaker 7>Good morning guys. My weakest claim to Warne was I

0:06:08.040 --> 0:06:10.200
<v Speaker 7>was sort of. After hearing that his tragic passing, I

0:06:10.200 --> 0:06:13.000
<v Speaker 7>was flipping from my Facebook feed and thought that one

0:06:13.040 --> 0:06:15.760
<v Speaker 7>of my best mates from primary school actually won award

0:06:16.240 --> 0:06:18.599
<v Speaker 7>in nineteen ninety two playing cricket at the Elston m

0:06:18.680 --> 0:06:20.760
<v Speaker 7>Cricket Club and Warney presented the award to win. He

0:06:20.800 --> 0:06:22.039
<v Speaker 7>had a photo with him and everything.

0:06:22.560 --> 0:06:26.559
<v Speaker 2>That is pretty cool, And so was your friend pretty

0:06:26.560 --> 0:06:28.320
<v Speaker 2>good at cricket? He must have been great.

0:06:29.120 --> 0:06:31.320
<v Speaker 7>He was very good. But he funnily enough, he grew

0:06:31.360 --> 0:06:33.520
<v Speaker 7>up to become a priest, but he didn't pursue cricket.

0:06:33.520 --> 0:06:38.919
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, Warn he turned him maybe, Adam, thank you

0:06:39.000 --> 0:06:42.520
<v Speaker 2>very much. You cool. Have a great day, guys, play Sharon.

0:06:42.560 --> 0:06:44.039
<v Speaker 2>What's your weakest claim to Warning?

0:06:46.200 --> 0:06:46.640
<v Speaker 8>Hello?

0:06:46.880 --> 0:06:50.320
<v Speaker 5>My weakest claim to Warning is that my brother played

0:06:50.360 --> 0:06:53.960
<v Speaker 5>football with him when they were probably for the sixth

0:06:54.240 --> 0:06:57.200
<v Speaker 5>between six and eight in Country Galley and the football

0:06:57.200 --> 0:06:59.640
<v Speaker 5>team was named the Fleets because they're only little Fellers.

0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:04.440
<v Speaker 5>It wasn't until later in life that we realized that

0:07:04.480 --> 0:07:06.200
<v Speaker 5>it was Shane Warne he played football because my mum

0:07:06.200 --> 0:07:08.600
<v Speaker 5>pulled a photo out the football team photo and said

0:07:08.600 --> 0:07:10.160
<v Speaker 5>that she played with Shane Warn.

0:07:10.240 --> 0:07:12.560
<v Speaker 6>So I love that.

0:07:12.640 --> 0:07:14.480
<v Speaker 2>And there was just an eight year old on a

0:07:14.560 --> 0:07:16.200
<v Speaker 2>dart on a chugging the beer.

0:07:16.560 --> 0:07:20.640
<v Speaker 3>We should know that quite possibly.

0:07:23.480 --> 0:07:26.200
<v Speaker 2>That's a lovely one. Thank you for sharing. I have

0:07:26.280 --> 0:07:28.360
<v Speaker 2>a great day and you Andy.

0:07:29.000 --> 0:07:30.120
<v Speaker 1>Hey, how are you, Christian?

0:07:30.240 --> 0:07:32.200
<v Speaker 2>I'm good, budd. I loving all these stories about warning.

0:07:32.240 --> 0:07:33.000
<v Speaker 2>What have you got for us?

0:07:33.480 --> 0:07:35.720
<v Speaker 8>My week exclaimed flame with warnings? That he stole me

0:07:35.760 --> 0:07:36.320
<v Speaker 8>hot chips?

0:07:37.000 --> 0:07:37.040
<v Speaker 4>What?

0:07:38.200 --> 0:07:38.760
<v Speaker 2>Just anything?

0:07:38.840 --> 0:07:39.000
<v Speaker 5>You know?

0:07:39.240 --> 0:07:40.800
<v Speaker 2>Someone hold the o bits.

0:07:42.360 --> 0:07:48.480
<v Speaker 8>What we we're coaching a like a Melbourne Stars junior gala,

0:07:48.600 --> 0:07:52.040
<v Speaker 8>like a day for their junior members at the mcg

0:07:53.080 --> 0:07:56.520
<v Speaker 8>And we went for the lunch break and I came

0:07:56.600 --> 0:07:59.800
<v Speaker 8>back with a bucket of chips. And anyway, he kicked

0:07:59.840 --> 0:08:01.600
<v Speaker 8>off the session and he said, Mada, I'm going for

0:08:01.680 --> 0:08:04.000
<v Speaker 8>a dart and he said, I know, is your chip

0:08:04.080 --> 0:08:07.160
<v Speaker 8>sitting over there? Said yeah, absolutely help yourself to one.

0:08:07.480 --> 0:08:09.800
<v Speaker 8>So he took both buckets of chips and he worked off.

0:08:09.840 --> 0:08:10.280
<v Speaker 5>And that.

0:08:12.960 --> 0:08:17.280
<v Speaker 2>It's warning. It's a great story. That is a great story. Andy,

0:08:17.360 --> 0:08:19.560
<v Speaker 2>that's my favorite one so far. Thank you so much

0:08:19.640 --> 0:08:22.960
