Speaker 1: Christian O'Connell Breakfast Show podcast.
Speaker 2: Thank you very much, Danian Brunswick, Christian Dunnavan is too late?
Speaker 3: Have you named the beer? Yeap just turned on the show.
Speaker 2: Bear should be called Hidden Hero for all the everyday
Speaker 2: people like Steve being heroes. That's a great name. Now, Danny,
Speaker 2: the deadline is by the end of today's show, we
Speaker 2: have to have all of us agreed on a name.
Speaker 2: We did at the end of yesterday's show. Whittle down
Speaker 2: your hundreds and it is seriously hundreds of ideas of
Speaker 2: what we should call this Bushfire Beer. If you just
Speaker 2: tuned in or you're coming back to the show after
Speaker 2: a break, we want to do our little thing for
Speaker 2: bushfire relief and we decided that we're going to launch
Speaker 2: our own beer. We weren't doing this if it hadn't
Speaker 2: been for last week. I had the idea and then
Speaker 2: we spoke to independent brewery here in Melbourne called Hawkers,
Speaker 2: who have been absolutely incredible. Jack went actually out there
Speaker 2: to day. They're brewery is actually near where where you live,
Speaker 2: and you bumped in to see Marsin the guy who
Speaker 2: was responded to our call for a brewer that we
Speaker 2: could partner rut with to try and make this bushfire relief.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and they're just as enthusiastical as we are about
Speaker 4: making it, and they're doing it for the right reasons
Speaker 4: as well, Like so many people in Victoria and around
Speaker 4: the country, they just want to help in any way
Speaker 4: they can. And they've got a brewery set up and
Speaker 4: they're really excited to start ruining this beer with us.
Speaker 2: Yes, so next Wednesday, next Wednesday they can start making it.
Speaker 2: It's going to be a larger We need a name
Speaker 2: for it. Is that it's the quickest thing we need
Speaker 2: right now. And then in the middle of February, you're
Speaker 2: better bart. We'll give you plenty of details about that.
Speaker 2: You bet a by Dan Murphy in cans and b
Speaker 2: wus as well. And also it's going to be going
Speaker 2: to kegs in pubs too. But right now we really
Speaker 2: need the name. So I'll take you through the top
Speaker 2: seven in a minute. Before that, some of the names
Speaker 2: that came in yesterday. See if we want to add
Speaker 2: any to these. How about Radio Lager as in the
Speaker 2: Queens song Radio Gaga. So I guess it would kind
Speaker 2: of be like Radio Lager. I like that thing is
Speaker 2: it's pretty good.
Speaker 3: The jingles good again.
Speaker 4: It doesn't really blend itself anything to do with the
Speaker 4: relief part of the beer, but generating.
Speaker 3: A lot of the future beers. We're going to not
Speaker 3: charm me.
Speaker 2: Basically, we're moving into the alcohol area at last.
Speaker 3: But that's not the beer right now, but soon it
Speaker 3: will be. What about this one?
Speaker 2: A lot of you have called up the radio station
Speaker 2: after a show which I'm really moved by, to try
Speaker 2: and do your bit to help us with this bushfire
Speaker 2: relief beer. And Cheryl called up yesterday with this idea.
Speaker 2: She called, Maria, are asmptuous with this one? Put out
Speaker 2: the fire. I don't really think that is a tasteful
Speaker 2: or what you want to be shouting in a pub
Speaker 2: put out the fire with what's going on right now.
Speaker 3: But Cheryl, thank you very much. He call got something Christian.
Speaker 2: Debbie here for Lower plenty, Hi Debbie and Lower she's there.
Speaker 3: She likes to name.
Speaker 2: Golden Hero because this the name of the radio station.
Speaker 2: She thinks everyone whose heroes have been getting involved. She
Speaker 2: has also asked her local Ida Express yesterday can they
Speaker 2: find out about.
Speaker 3: Stocking it as well? Debbie, thank you very much for that. Christian.
Speaker 2: I think the name of the beer should be called
Speaker 2: bloody Lengends, Josie.
Speaker 3: I think that's a typo. Do you mean legends?
Speaker 2: I know what a lengend is here, I'm still learning
Speaker 2: about some of the words you say, bloody lengans say
Speaker 2: after you've had a couple of bloody legends. This guy's
Speaker 2: gone crazy. No, sorry, Judy, Sorry, Judy. Christ and I

Speaker 2: what have they been saying in the last twenty four hours.
Speaker 4: So we've had a huge response online, actually a very
Speaker 4: broad response. Of any of those seven been people's favorite,

Speaker 2: come with me. It's like raising a glass to all
Speaker 2: those heroes and the acts of raising that glass of
Speaker 2: a thank you and gratitude. Also raising some money for
Speaker 2: charity as well is a win win. Christian O'Connell Breakfast
Speaker 2: Show Podcast, it's time now for us to name what
Speaker 2: we're gonna call our Bushfire Relief Beer. When we came
Speaker 2: back Monday, we said, how Jack and I were so
Speaker 2: pressed two weeks ago we came back in and we
Speaker 2: did a little show amongst all all the bushfires and
Speaker 2: all the stories of people just doing whatever they could
Speaker 2: to go and help out, to volunteer, to dig in,
Speaker 2: to do something small, something big, to help out. And
Speaker 2: we then thought we need to do something on the show.
Speaker 2: We've got this microphone, we've got this station. What can
Speaker 2: we do? And whilst we're off, I thought maybe a beer.
Speaker 2: See how much we all love beer. Australians love a
Speaker 2: beer at the end of the week, maybe just by
Speaker 2: raising a beer, we can raise some money for the
Speaker 2: bushfire relief here in Victoria. And that is what we're doing.
Speaker 2: And so we're about to name the beer. There have
Speaker 2: been hundreds and hundreds of phone calls, emails, texts of
Speaker 2: a wide variety in quality of what we should called
Speaker 2: a beer. Some of them you what you think is
Speaker 2: the sexual to shout out in the bar is quite
Speaker 2: frankly staggering. But anyway, bless you, thank you very much
Speaker 2: for getting behind this. As always I said Monday, it's
Speaker 2: a thing we're going to be doing together, and the
Speaker 2: first thing is the name. There's any other things we
Speaker 2: need to do to try and get this out there
Speaker 2: and get this as sould to be available in the
Speaker 2: middle of February and it goes into production in a
Speaker 2: week's time and that is thanks to this Guy's on
Speaker 2: the line now, Marsin from Hawker's Brewery.
Speaker 3: Marsin, Hi Kerson, So listen once more.
Speaker 2: Thank you very very much for responding to our cool
Speaker 2: last week, our sos. Could we find a brewery that
Speaker 2: could turn it around quickly and be up for this,
Speaker 2: and you guys have leapt up to it. And you've
Speaker 2: also contented to Dan Murphy b W West and you've
Speaker 2: got them to stock it as well, which is amazing.
Speaker 1: Thank you for coming up with the idea.
Speaker 3: Hey, that's all right. And Jack dropped in to see
Speaker 3: the other day.
Speaker 1: Absolutely absolutely, and he was just in the neighborhood.
Speaker 2: I'd be suspicious that Jack is never just in the neighborhood.
Speaker 3: He's always after something.
Speaker 4: I was coincidence driving past. It's a great brewery, Manson.
Speaker 4: Thanks for taking me and showing me around.
Speaker 1: My pleasure at anytime.
Speaker 3: Now, Okay, we have a name.
Speaker 1: That is so exciting. What is it?
Speaker 3: Now?
Speaker 2: It's gonna I just want you to just don't even
Speaker 2: tell me what you think. Just let it in breathe
Speaker 2: it in for a couple of seconds. I've given you
Speaker 2: a name yet, all right, and then I need you
Speaker 2: to imagine it in the pub, okay, where people go
Speaker 2: and ask for this and what this is all about.
Speaker 2: Raising a glass of gratitude and thank you to all
Speaker 2: the amazing people who are doing their bits and have
Speaker 2: already done their bit as well. Those people are everyday heroes.
Speaker 2: And our beer is going to be called Heroes Gold.
Speaker 1: That is awesome. That is such a great name, and
Speaker 1: it's you're absolutely right, raising a glass to the heroes,
Speaker 1: absolutely right, all the unsung people who have done amazing
Speaker 1: things to help others.
Speaker 3: Quick ah, bless you didn't he need to breathe it in.
Speaker 4: You got it and we agree and if it just
Speaker 4: feels right to us. It's simple, like we had a
Speaker 4: lot of clever names as well, but heroes. Something about heroes.
Speaker 4: It's just so simple. A glass of heroes, a can
Speaker 4: of heroes, and you're doing your part.
Speaker 3: And you're toasting the heroes.
Speaker 2: And that's what everybody is who's doing their bit, whether
Speaker 2: it's Peers and all his thousands of tradees that are
Speaker 2: doing their bit. Steve, we spoke to a half seven
Speaker 2: this morning, who's going out with his mates trying to
Speaker 2: find if they can build this weekend by hand. They're
Speaker 2: going to try and put together a kilometer of fencing
Speaker 2: when acres of it are needed. But that's their contribution,
Speaker 2: that's their bit, that's them saying I'm going to do this.
Speaker 3: Those people are everyday heroes.
Speaker 2: They're unsung heroes that don't go about crowing about it,
Speaker 2: but they deserve to be thanked when we raise that glass,
Speaker 2: raise a beer at the weekend on a Friday. I
Speaker 2: think there's something quite something right about that, decent about it.
Speaker 4: And of course it's a nod to the fieries and
Speaker 4: the volunteer firefighters and the firefighters who have been working
Speaker 4: so hard all over the summer period, away from their families,
Speaker 4: away from Christmas.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so, heroes Gold, you happy with that.
Speaker 1: One hundred percent. All we have to do now is
Speaker 1: get throwing on Wednesday next Wednesday in a week and
Speaker 1: we can't wait to get it out. We've had a
Speaker 1: lot of interest from a lot of people. We also
Speaker 1: got a whole bunch of phone calls from pubs wanting
Speaker 1: to carry the beer. We got a bunch of names
Speaker 1: on our website and we tried to push them back
Speaker 1: to you guys. So I'm really really pleased and stalked
Speaker 1: with the name. It's amazing how many people have come
Speaker 1: back with such positivity and responded so positively. Hopefully we'll
Speaker 1: be able to do a little bit towards making this
Speaker 1: less painful.
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, that's what I was just trying to do
Speaker 2: a little bit. So do you need some help down
Speaker 2: at the factory next Wednesday? Because Jack and Pats I'm
Speaker 2: happy to send them down. I've got some admin here now.
