Speaker 1: Christian Color Show podcast.
Speaker 2: Thank good morning. This is Christian O'Connell. As you could tell,
Speaker 2: I'm on the phone right now. Good morning, Jack, Good morning,
Speaker 2: Pat's morning. They were just described this situation. So I'm
Speaker 2: not in the studio and the reason I'm over the
Speaker 2: phone is in the last twenty four hours, meeting with
Speaker 2: daughters and my wife, we all had to go and
Speaker 2: get COVID tested. We don't have any of the symptoms,
Speaker 2: but one of my daughters wasn't feeling very well toward
Speaker 2: to ten yesterday morning, I said a little bit of
Speaker 2: Labor Day fun, new new kind of ritual that we're
Speaker 2: going to do now they Labor Day. We went to
Speaker 2: get COVID tested, and obviously for me, it's all about
Speaker 2: getting a clear result, heady for tonight's one last game,
Speaker 2: which we've been you know what, we've been building up
Speaker 2: over the last couple of weeks. Get this. Guys, Ruby,
Speaker 2: Lewis and Sarah all have their results back. They're clear.
Speaker 2: I've not got mine. They got theirs yesterday by nine o'clock,
Speaker 2: which is incredible with the twelve hours.
Speaker 3: Did you go to the same place as then, yes,
Speaker 3: and I was the first one. I guess maybe they
Speaker 3: worked backwards, like so yours goes in first you're at
Speaker 3: the front of the truck, and then they load the
Speaker 3: rest in and then as they get them off the truck,
Speaker 3: they go from the back.
Speaker 2: I do you know what I've got well feeling. All
Speaker 2: it takes is one discront called Nova or listener, and
Speaker 2: they goes that bloody pommy. Well, we ain't no show
Speaker 2: you what last game for you? They've chucked it in
Speaker 2: the bin. Yeah, the kids are all the kids are
Speaker 2: all fine, or they've got is school on today? You know,
Speaker 2: we've got the show. We've got one last game and
Speaker 2: so everything. We sort of went to chaos yesterday and
Speaker 2: we did the test and then came home to isolate.
Speaker 2: And one of the engineers, Mark dropped off of engine
Speaker 2: engineering equipment yesterday and this day off bless him, but Jack,
Speaker 2: bless You know what engineers are like. They they don't
Speaker 2: like speaking to people like you and I. They don't
Speaker 2: like us using their equipment outside of the studio. He
Speaker 2: turned up and he just gave me a mysterious black
Speaker 2: box with about eight different inputs and when you just
Speaker 2: turned on and shove the microphone cable in there, and
Speaker 2: then drove off, and so the mysterious black box. I've
Speaker 2: got about a million dollars work of equipment here. None
Speaker 2: of it's working, which is why I'm on the trusty
Speaker 2: phone at the moment.
Speaker 3: They all assume that they all assume that we know
Speaker 3: how to use the equipment. When we're in lockdown. They
Speaker 3: were like, and you you know how to just dial
Speaker 3: in with this black box? I've never seen before.
Speaker 2: It doesn't look at five thirty this morning, I'm staring
Speaker 2: at a black box and stare the engineers going, and
Speaker 2: you're dialing in? I went, what is I'm staring at it?
Speaker 2: I just do it talking? So I understand right now Tom,
Speaker 2: our producer, is it is getting in a car with
Speaker 2: a new mysterious black radio machine and leaving it on
Speaker 2: my doorstep because obviously you can't come in. And then I'm.
Speaker 3: Both of you and Tom aren't savvy with equipment. It's
Speaker 3: going to be like you already program the first VACR.
Speaker 3: Why is Tom dropping off a second VC that you've
Speaker 3: never seen before going to fix it before.
Speaker 2: My life, I've got no one how to work. I'm
Speaker 2: trying to do the showdown the phone, and I'm also
Speaker 2: keeping one idea on the test results. And yesterday evening
Speaker 2: the kids and my wife are all like, you're not
Speaker 2: gonna be like yelling at six Hey, I just realized
Speaker 2: I am yelling. I'm actually stood up. I'm so stressed.
Speaker 2: In my house right now was six a m. All.
Speaker 2: The lights are on, the animals are awake, and I'm
Speaker 2: yelling down the phone to you guys. I can't believe
Speaker 2: they've got their test results. Where's Mark? I kept my
Speaker 2: phone on all night. I kept sort of checking and
Speaker 2: stuff like that. If there's anyone who knows anyone at
Speaker 2: Melbourne Pathology, please look out for Christian Lee and Michael
Speaker 2: O'Connell's results. I just do you know what. I'm tempted
Speaker 2: to just get at like a car waiting outside the
Speaker 2: house in case they come through in the next hour
Speaker 2: to and I can high tail it into work.
Speaker 3: But do they do them after hours? Don't they go
Speaker 3: to site? They're working around the clock.
Speaker 4: You know what.
Speaker 3: I reckon, Christian?
Speaker 5: I reckon they're keeping your DNA because you're so awesome
Speaker 5: at what you do.
Speaker 3: I reckon the rival networks are getting your DNA and
Speaker 3: making sure Pats.
Speaker 2: I want to I just want to thank what partents
Speaker 2: was trying to do their listeners. She's trying to keep
Speaker 2: my spirits up. I feel like we're now in the
Speaker 2: Apollo movie and I'm Tom Hanks in that little capsule
Speaker 2: and the windows are getting all frosted up, and you
Speaker 2: guys are Lieutenant Dan. You're going to You're just going
Speaker 2: to shove a load of things and it's got to
Speaker 2: fit in that box. We've got to bring them down.
Speaker 3: We're going to essentially tell you how to use duct
Speaker 3: tape to speak to Melbourne.
Speaker 2: I think we're five minutes away from that. All right,
Speaker 2: let's stick on a song now, this is seeing Tea
Speaker 2: Music Factory.
Speaker 6: I'll go the Christian O'Connell show.
Speaker 2: News. If you just tuned in, you'll listen to the
Speaker 2: shabbiest radio show we've ever done. Right now, I am
Speaker 2: lying from home on a phone. It sounds like a
Speaker 2: New Monday Features you're going to be doing because we
Speaker 2: have to go and get COVID tested. Yesterday morning, all
Speaker 2: four of us family outing and you'll love this, right,
Speaker 2: So we've got to get COVID testing and they go right.
Speaker 2: You've got to go home now and obviously isolate until
Speaker 2: we get the all clear. We're text you and then
Speaker 2: we call you if you've got him. And none of
Speaker 2: us really have the symptoms, but one of my daughters
Speaker 2: hadn't been feeling too good, so we thought we'd better
Speaker 2: go and get tested. And we're doing one last game tonight,
Speaker 2: so and it's the right thing, that is what we
Speaker 2: all got to do. There's a family ahead of me,
Speaker 2: so I'm gonna be the first one going in and
Speaker 2: have you got perhaps And have you guys got tested yet? Yes, yeah,
Speaker 2: I haven't. It's quite Were you scared?
Speaker 3: No, not really, I mean millions of people are doing it.
Speaker 3: It's very uncomfortable.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, no, no, I wasn't scared. Started checking out.
Speaker 2: I was scared. However, there's a young boy and his
Speaker 2: mom ahead of me, and the kid went round the
Speaker 2: sort of corner this partition to go and get done
Speaker 2: before I did, and he starts screaming and crying, all right,
Speaker 2: and they started to get really frightened, right, and the
Speaker 2: kids go to me, Oh my god, daddy, you scared scared.
Speaker 2: I've found it. It's quite strange in that man. It
Speaker 2: doesn't hurt, it's more slightly tickling at the back of
Speaker 2: the throat. And then that little swab that goes up
Speaker 2: both the nostrils as well. Tell you what it the
Speaker 2: nostril bit really wakes you up in the morning, doesn't
Speaker 2: That's a great one to start the day.
Speaker 3: There's two types. There's the severe one and the light one.
Speaker 3: I get the light one, which was just, really, what.
Speaker 5: Do you mean light one?
Speaker 2: It's not like you can ask for a light one.
Speaker 3: No, they gave it to me. They said, if you've
Speaker 3: heard about.
Speaker 2: You've got the anal one, didn't you?
Speaker 3: They said, if you've heard about the eye watering one,
Speaker 3: this isn't it. Mine was just essentially a cue tip,
Speaker 3: swell it around the nostrils a little bit and then give.
Speaker 2: You've got some sort of hipster one.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just got one at the Alfred all above
Speaker 3: board people in their nurses outfits.
Speaker 5: Well.
Speaker 2: Afterwards, while we go to the car park and it's
Speaker 2: at Sandy Hospital, so you've got to pay to leave
Speaker 2: the car part right, and so I'm wandering around and
Speaker 2: wearing a mask and saying, well, I just need to
Speaker 2: get out of here, we just need to go home,
Speaker 2: and it suddenly says it's one of those paying machines
Speaker 2: on all hospital car parks sort of nightmare. It says
Speaker 2: you need to cash only no one in COVID time
Speaker 2: has just been COVID tested. We're go I can't. So
Speaker 2: you know, have you ever tried up a conversation with
Speaker 2: that little button you know when you press it at
Speaker 2: the barrier? I hate it because you press the button
Speaker 2: and a load of noises go off. And then there's
Speaker 2: this the person in the machine, and theres a guy
Speaker 2: that goes here and I went, we need to leave.
Speaker 2: I've been COVID tested. And he goes, I apat the
Speaker 2: machine at the front, went, I've got no money, and
Speaker 2: he goes, there's a shop. I went, We've just been
Speaker 2: COVID tested. I've got to go home.
Speaker 7: We can't.
Speaker 2: I can't stop. Wonder if i'd shop.
Speaker 3: Behind you waiting to get out of the same.
Speaker 2: And you're trying to sort of just let them know
Speaker 2: the backstory, what's going on here that I've been in
Speaker 2: that walkthrough thing. And then the guy goes momenting out
Speaker 2: of the barrier. But don't do this again when I
Speaker 2: don't how.
Speaker 3: Many times am I going to get up in this
Speaker 3: situation gap to get.
Speaker 2: Free fast hand a minute? I know this is really unprofessional,
Speaker 2: but my phone is vibrated. I've just had a text
Speaker 2: because I'm paranoid. Any text they get through might be
Speaker 2: the results. Wait there, Oh my word, Melbourne pathology. Virus
Speaker 2: not detected. Virus not detected.

Speaker 2: reread that. Hang on, let me just check now I
Speaker 2: can confirm I do definitely do not have COVID. I'm
Speaker 2: coming in. You're landing Tom Hanks in Apollo Christian Christian
Speaker 2: Podcast one or four point three. This is the Christian
Speaker 2: O'Connell breakfast show for Kang and Institute. I'll just do
Speaker 2: my last bit on the phone now. So I'm just
Speaker 2: about to leave my house. Or has found out COVID
Speaker 2: free breaking news, which means I can come back into
Speaker 2: work and we don't have to do the whole show
Speaker 2: today counted down to one last game, which is in
Speaker 2: twelve hours and about twenty odd minutes time. Jackie boy,
Speaker 2: are you excited? You've been practicing your throw ins because
Speaker 2: you're one of the boundary umpires tonight, along with Razor Ray.
Speaker 3: Pulled the boots on for the first time in over
Speaker 3: a year, went for a little run on the weekend.
Speaker 3: The throwings are looking great the WhatsApp to be honest,
Speaker 3: the WhatsApp group. We're in the WhatsApp group with the
Speaker 3: guys on the team. How could have been? It is unrelenting,
Speaker 3: all hours of the night, any anytime. They were just
Speaker 3: going crazy on the weekend.
Speaker 2: At one point I put it down for three hours, right.
Speaker 2: I took a screenshot at there were two hundred and
Speaker 2: sixty three messages. Honestly, I couldn't. I couldn't. It was
Speaker 2: too much being in there. Sometimes it's like a sort
Speaker 2: of online locker room.
Speaker 3: Especially on Saturday afternoon when they start to have a
Speaker 3: few drinks and.
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I want to talk about that. You know,
Speaker 2: I'd like to have a drink at the weekend, as
Speaker 2: we know how, I'm not playing tonight and this is
Speaker 2: there one lin last game. They're going up against nine
Speaker 2: basically a team, a nine man team of legends. You know,
Speaker 2: some of the best players ever played the game. You
Speaker 2: know Cam Mooney and the Montagna. They've got an it
Speaker 2: Revolt as the captain. One of our star players is
Speaker 2: tucking into the rum at two o'clock Saturday afternoon, and
Speaker 2: then two hours later is posting videos of him doing
Speaker 2: karaoke two meetloads. I would do anything for love. They yeah,
Speaker 2: I thought that, but the video and I only mentioned that.
Speaker 2: You're right, that is that is odd. But notice that
Speaker 2: the picture he posted on the bottle of run, he
Speaker 2: was only a finny bit left at the bottom of it.
Speaker 2: Has that been Poloshov during the day. I just presumed
Speaker 2: they've been stretching and training and doing stuff like. I
Speaker 2: don't say it's been mainly drinking heavily over the weekend.
Speaker 2: They're pretty complacent about tonight, aren't they.
Speaker 3: Well, our captain just finished his last game of cricket
Speaker 3: on Saturday night, so this is our guy who's been
Speaker 3: to rally all the troops said, I'm written off tonight boys,
Speaker 3: and in photo of him with a beer after his cricket.
Speaker 2: Match on my word and I've noticed it's just just
Speaker 2: now I'm outside the front of my house, right out
Speaker 2: of getting the cart. It's pouring down with rain, so
Speaker 2: it could be rain conditions they're playing in tonight as well.
Speaker 2: How are you feeling confident about an upset winternight or not.
Speaker 2: Negativity Jar is said in that studio.
Speaker 3: I can say the negativity Jar. Anything is possible on
Speaker 3: the day.
Speaker 2: And does your dad? Is your dad coming down tonight?
Speaker 3: He would love to?
Speaker 2: Does he want to work? I think we need another
Speaker 2: boundary umpire?
Speaker 3: He would if if we need him, he'll for sure
Speaker 3: pull on the boots.
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's get your old man to pull on the boots.
Speaker 5: Right.
Speaker 2: I'm getting the car to be back in in about
Speaker 2: fifteen minutes.
Speaker 6: The Christian O'Connell Show, Podcast.
Speaker 2: One four point three Christian O'Connor Show. On the move.
Speaker 2: Right now Marky from Live from the Nepean Highway. As
Speaker 2: we cross through Elst we're on our way into the
Speaker 2: producer driving right now, Sacond morning, tom As are the
Speaker 2: wells raining? Thank you, Jackie boy. How is your long weekend?
Speaker 3: It's actually really nice. Yes, thank you very much. We
Speaker 3: built a gold class cinema in our kitchen.
Speaker 2: Sorry, you kind of set something like that up without
Speaker 2: warning me? What charging people? No?
Speaker 3: Sorry, we were the only patrons of the gold Class.
Speaker 3: But I borrowed a projector off a friend of.
Speaker 2: Mine, and oh what a great idea.
Speaker 3: It didn't fit in the living room's too small for
Speaker 3: the projector beam. By the time you get the projector
Speaker 3: in there, the size of the projector beam is the
Speaker 3: size of the TV. So it's kind of you're just
Speaker 3: building another TV.
Speaker 2: That's not one of those things you know you have
Speaker 2: like this idea in your mind. It's almost like the
Speaker 2: movie version of it. And in real life this is
Speaker 2: awkward and it doesn't fit. You get irritated and suddenly
Speaker 2: the realities and meeting the dream image you had of
Speaker 2: all this. So what did you do? Did you carry on? So?
Speaker 3: I awkwardly set it up in the kitchen and I
Speaker 3: didn't actually get it for a movie night with Bianca
Speaker 3: to be truthful, that we have our fantasy football draft
Speaker 3: night on Saturday night coming up, and I wanted to
Speaker 3: get the projector so that all the boys can see
Speaker 3: the players that we're going to choose for our fantasy
Speaker 3: AFL teams.
Speaker 2: Okay, so basically your wife was a guinea pig.
Speaker 3: Well, I said, yes, I set up the projector just
Speaker 3: to see what it's going to look like. Then I
Speaker 3: didn't really get around to moving it off the kitchen
Speaker 3: bench where it is. And so when Bianca's saying.
Speaker 2: So the gold class experience is sort of with a
Speaker 2: kitchen sink or plates that need putting away in the
Speaker 2: olive oil eat dish class.
Speaker 3: But that's what's.
Speaker 2: The goal. It's literally it sounds like you're describing gold
Speaker 2: class to me is.
Speaker 3: Because gold class you can get food served to your chair.
Speaker 3: And that was kind of what it was like watching
Speaker 3: the movie in the kitchen is we could just get
Speaker 3: up and get the raspberries from the fridge.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and raspberries aren't available gold Cinema's either. No one
Speaker 2: is slacking out on Well.
Speaker 3: I didn't get popcorn for the movie, so that the
Speaker 3: closest thing that we had in the fridge was raspberries.
Speaker 3: But we did, we slightly. I pulled the armchair into
Speaker 3: the kitchen for bianca, and then the catch is too
Speaker 3: big to move, so I I moved. Luna's bed is
Speaker 3: like an old bean bag, and I sat in the
Speaker 3: bean bag on the floor.
Speaker 2: So your wife is in the arm chair, you're in,
Speaker 2: you're in the dog's bed.
Speaker 3: I'm in the dogs.
Speaker 2: Be Essentially, if I was walking past your house and
Speaker 2: I saw that scene, I think I was looking at
Speaker 2: some kind of Louis Through weekend documentary going on in there.
Speaker 2: What did you watch?
Speaker 3: We watch actually a great film called Greenland. Have you
Speaker 3: heard of this?
Speaker 5: Yes?
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, that with Vigo more? No? Is it Gearhard Butler?
Speaker 3: His Gearhard Butler?
Speaker 2: Gearhard Butler? Normally he's always in some Basically, if Liam
Speaker 2: Neeson says no to one of those really obvious movies,
Speaker 2: they go cold Butler cooled Gearhart? Is it Gerard or
Speaker 2: gearheard you hate Gerard?
Speaker 3: I think he's not many Gerard Butler's.
Speaker 2: It's not Gerard, that he's not Gerard.
Speaker 3: Gearhard Butler's called Gerard.
Speaker 2: Watch out? Gerard's coming back with they go get Butler.

Speaker 3: save his family from the incoming comet.

Speaker 2: like a head buttet or like take that comment. I
Speaker 2: get Butler.
Speaker 3: It's definitely Jared.
Speaker 2: It's not Jermard. Right, tell you what we need to

Speaker 3: Do you want to hear the what he says is
Speaker 3: the pronunciation of his name.
Speaker 2: Now, he's a Scottish actor, so he's got quite a

Speaker 2: Dr Death or Frister Fury, leg of Iron.

Speaker 3: movie names, but his character name Vidic Stoic Big Nick
Speaker 3: O'Brien Thick is like.
Speaker 2: A philosophery movement Stoicism.

Speaker 2: I reckon. He has input in his contract to how
Speaker 2: the character's named Stoic two different movies and he's called Stoe.

Speaker 2: Christian O'Connell Show podcast Jimmy Barnes, No second rise This
Speaker 2: eight minutes by seven Tuesday morning. This is the Christian
Speaker 2: O'Connell Show. What an unnecessarily traumatic. It's been I've hardly
Speaker 2: slept last night, worrying that if you just tuned in,
Speaker 2: I've only just turned up to work. I have been
Speaker 2: doing the show, but I've been on the phone from
Speaker 2: home whilst waiting to get the COVID all clear. And
Speaker 2: I got it at about sort of quarterback six Live
Speaker 2: this morning. My wife and kids, we all had to
Speaker 2: get tested yesterday morning. Why do I spell the way
Speaker 2: to all the people that are doing those tests all
Speaker 2: day in, day out, in all your ppe gear, shoving
Speaker 2: those little swaps in people's throats and noses all day long.
Speaker 2: Thank you for everything you're still doing as well. I've
Speaker 2: got to see yesterday. You know just how relentless your
Speaker 2: work is. So thank you very much and amazing. Well,
Speaker 2: my kids and my wife they got the results back
Speaker 2: within twelve hours.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's pretty fast days.
Speaker 2: So we're here now, and I'm so pleased because it
Speaker 2: was all about tonight. It is all about tonight. One
Speaker 2: last week, in twelve hours time, we'd have had first bouts.
Speaker 2: We'll be I reckon goals what already happened. We can
Speaker 2: all make guesses or maybe educated guess about which way
Speaker 2: the goals would have been. However, there are four quarters ahead,
Speaker 2: but it first bounces at seven o'clock tonight.
Speaker 5: If you don't know what one last game is, it's there.
Speaker 2: All nine of you guys that we've recruited to be
Speaker 2: our team of could have bins and they're taking up a.
Speaker 5: Team of legends the Fox Footy All Stars.
Speaker 2: Legends is an overused word, but it is the only
Speaker 2: used It's the only word I can usually describe the
Speaker 2: players that are playing tonight on the Fox Footy All Stars.
Speaker 5: Jackie Boy who we got.
Speaker 3: Have a listen to this team, Anthony Coodefidis, Nick del Santo, Dipper,
Speaker 3: Ben Dixon, Brad Johnson, Jordan Lewis, Ham Mooney, Lee Montagne,
Speaker 3: all captained by Nick Rae Wolt.
Speaker 5: It's amazing.
Speaker 2: And tom My, producer was telling me that we had
Speaker 2: to just check, you know, because obviously our players have
Speaker 2: what you requested. You know, normally you ask for like
Speaker 2: what your rider is for a band. They've all requested
Speaker 2: like volter Ol DP bandages.
Speaker 5: So have the All Stars.
Speaker 3: Well, they want tape providers, every.
Speaker 5: Single one, a lot more demand.
Speaker 2: So however, they're still going to have that muscle memory
Speaker 2: and that white line fever when they get over the
Speaker 2: line tonight as well. All right, So I thought, right,
Speaker 2: because it's been so it's been growing and growing the
Speaker 2: last couple of weeks, and here and all these nicknames,
Speaker 2: nicknames we've given all of our players the could have beens.
Speaker 2: I thought it'd be nice to actually remind why they
Speaker 2: stopped playing footy and why this is such a big deal,
Speaker 2: why they're so excited, and why we are so excited
Speaker 2: about seeing them get one last game tonight.
Speaker 3: There's the Maltese Falcon, our big full back. He was
Speaker 3: invited to play with the Bulldogs as a teenager, but
Speaker 3: his Maltese father would not let him play football.
Speaker 5: Isn't that amazing?
Speaker 2: I still keep thinking his dad's going to stop it tonight.
Speaker 2: Run picking him up myself. We didn't get our butlers
Speaker 2: to make sure he gets there, one beast.
Speaker 3: There's Fever, who, at twenty years old, had two shoulder
Speaker 3: reconstructions and he has massive white line fever.
Speaker 5: He really does.
Speaker 3: Sensation. Last played in nineteen ninety three. Last played in
Speaker 3: nineteen ninety three. Lee Matthews the thing then. Lee Matthews
Speaker 3: tried to recruit him to the Hawks, but he chose
Speaker 3: a life of partying and said goodbye to football. There's sizzle.
Speaker 3: He is injured now, but as a seventeen year old,
Speaker 3: he's consistent. You know, he was carried from the field
Speaker 3: after a match and never got to play AFL. He
Speaker 3: is going to be kicking on his left foot. He's
Speaker 3: non preferred this week because he's got a leg injury.
Speaker 3: The shotgun broke his leg in nine places on the field.
Speaker 3: There's of course, Hollywood, our big full forward used to
Speaker 3: kick one hundred goals a season until he chose the
Speaker 3: party lifestyle instead of AFL. His brother played for the Hawks.
Speaker 3: He is nursing a saw toe. Well that's an understatement.
Speaker 2: Well he haven't removed surgically nine days ago, and he's
Speaker 2: our star kicker.
Speaker 3: We saw him in a moonboot at the last training
Speaker 3: session and I saw him.
Speaker 5: Member over the weekends. He's kicking still with his foot.
Speaker 3: He swears he's going to play tonight and that the
Speaker 3: toe will be good to go. He's our goal kicking hope,
Speaker 3: so we need him on the field.
Speaker 2: He is going to get goals. I seriously believe I
Speaker 2: wanted to put money on this. I think he's going
Speaker 2: to get goals. Here are some of the messages from
Speaker 2: our guys then that could have been.
Speaker 8: It's the steam train here could have been its captain
Speaker 8: this weekend.
Speaker 5: More motivational news about this is our captain. Steam train.
Speaker 2: He emailed me saying he was the fastest fat man
Speaker 2: in Victoria and that automatically got him in the team.
Speaker 2: He is fast, he's big, and also tell you what,
Speaker 2: super aggressive, like really.
Speaker 5: Pumped up all r Let's see it from the captain
Speaker 5: or they could have been steam trained.
Speaker 8: He's the steam train here could have been as captain
Speaker 8: this weekend. You did what any responsible captain coach and do.
Speaker 8: Got on to the boys. I'm going to be bringing
Speaker 8: a lot of fire, a lot of intensity, a lot
Speaker 8: of passion to the game. I'm going to have to
Speaker 8: make a beeline for Anthony Kurtified. He's purely just to
Speaker 8: upset my sister. She's had a crush on him since
Speaker 8: God knows when. I expect the boys to follow my lead,
Speaker 8: put the body on the line and do the thing
Speaker 8: for the team that they need to do. This is
Speaker 8: our one last game. There is no tomorrow for us.
Speaker 8: Can't wait for tonight. We're going to get the win
Speaker 8: and We're going to stick it.

Speaker 6: it for my friend Jeremy.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Three hours later he posted this on our sort
Speaker 2: of WhatsApp group which I thought we'd sort of swapping
Speaker 2: tactics and motivational videos. It's it's just a guy who's
Speaker 2: polished off a bull of rum. Day's not taken on.
Speaker 2: It's on the best place what he's ever seen. And
Speaker 2: he posted him doing lonely karaoke.
Speaker 5: I see this. He's got a really sweet voice. Imagine
Speaker 5: it actually sounds like meat though. We might need to
Speaker 5: rename him.
Speaker 3: Me a guy in his living room. Nobody his family's
Speaker 3: not in there on his eye?
Speaker 5: Did you see the children's toys underneath the screen as well?
Speaker 5: Where were they in all this?

Speaker 6: The Christian O'Connell Show podcast.
Speaker 2: Over the last couple of days, lots and lots of
Speaker 2: emails asking you how can you win tickets?
Speaker 5: What do you need to do?
Speaker 2: Here's the situation we're in, which is why yesterday I
Speaker 2: was gotten back into that world or which still to
Speaker 2: be around all this year of going getting COVID tested
Speaker 2: and not knowing whether I'll get the all clear in
Speaker 2: time to come and do the show today or go
Speaker 2: and watch the guys tonight. We obviously will be running
Speaker 2: this COVID safe. We have to do that because we
Speaker 2: want to keep Melbourne open. That's our responsibility as a show,
Speaker 2: but also individually as well.
Speaker 5: And even though yesterday, you know, when we went and
Speaker 5: got the test.
Speaker 2: I was praying that I'd get the results in time,
Speaker 2: because actually, selfishly, I just want to be doing the
Speaker 2: show today and to see the guys tonight and not
Speaker 2: being there for them was just unbearable. I can't wait
Speaker 2: to see them play tonight. But what it does mean
Speaker 2: is we're only allowed one hundred people to come along
Speaker 2: and watch tonight. One hundred when there's eleven players, meant
Speaker 2: that all the tickets we've been allocated the one hundred
Speaker 2: we've given to the players because we wanted them to
Speaker 2: have their families, their children count as that allocation as well,
Speaker 2: and really it has been a bit about them seeing it.
Speaker 2: We are filming it tonight. We've actually hired in a
Speaker 2: documentary team who do this for real. They made the test.
Speaker 2: We've got the director who works on the front bar.
Speaker 2: We're going to have something which looks brilliant. So actually
Speaker 2: you will be able to see that and watch and
Speaker 2: see how the guys get on tomorrow on the show.
Speaker 2: A couple of them are going to be joining us live.
Speaker 2: We're obviously playing back what happened on the game, but
Speaker 2: I know you want to see it. I want to
Speaker 2: see it, and we are filming it it will look great.
Speaker 2: There's going to even be like a mini Tomorrow morning
Speaker 2: there'll be like a highlights of two minutes, and then
Speaker 2: on Thursday morning there's actually going to be like a
Speaker 2: ten minute mini documentary. We're not making it, which is
Speaker 2: what I can confidently say, it'd be really good. We
Speaker 2: couldn't even get me lived down via satellite. That's one
Speaker 2: of my house I was on a phone. We've hired
Speaker 2: in people who do this for a living. It will
Speaker 2: look great. The guys deserve it, and it's the story
Speaker 2: of it's their story, the story of the last couple
Speaker 2: of weeks and whatever happens tonight as well. So yeah,
Speaker 2: I hope you understand. We'd love to have more of
Speaker 2: you there. But this is exciting on Fox Footy. Not
Speaker 2: only have they provided all these legends for us. Tonight
Speaker 2: on three sixty with Mark Robinson and a weekly they're
Speaker 2: going to be crossing to the dressing room of their
Speaker 2: fellow presenters or the foxforty presenters they're back on now
Speaker 2: counted down to around one next week, they're cross into
Speaker 2: the dressing room afterwards to find out what the result was,
Speaker 2: which is great. So if you want to find out
Speaker 2: before we stumble on air tomorrow morning. You can check
Speaker 2: that out tonight at the end of three sixty on
Speaker 2: Fox Footy, which is great.
Speaker 3: Do you think you mean? You said find out what
Speaker 3: the result is? Is there any doubt that the Legends
Speaker 3: are going to win tonight?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Anything can happen in sport, Nick Reewalt, Couder dip.
Speaker 5: People can fall over. It's well out nine nine and
Speaker 5: fall over. That's my plan, victory.
Speaker 3: It sounds like a thread.
Speaker 5: Actually it is that.
Speaker 2: It is.
Speaker 1: Christian Hello, Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 2: So of the weekend, took Ruby, my sixteen year old,
Speaker 2: out for another driving lesson. So We've done a couple
Speaker 2: of times and I've been playing bits of it on
Speaker 2: the show. On Friday, she had an actual lesson with
Speaker 2: a proper professional instructor.
Speaker 3: How did she say that compared to your teaching.

Speaker 2: the Satuday sports. So she was rowing on albert Lake
Speaker 2: beautiful day Saturday. So I drove into albert Lake eleven
Speaker 2: plot to pick her up. I thought, why don't you
Speaker 2: drive back home from Albert Park straight where you got
Speaker 2: the fun of going around Grand Prix track?
Speaker 5: You know Michael doing this? Is he on a Grand
Speaker 5: Prix track?

Speaker 2: where they did the pit stop it the Grand Standard

Speaker 2: the back of your throat. So no, we go. We
Speaker 2: go around albert Park and then we enter in Saint Kilda.

Speaker 2: this is sn't Kilda. Anything can happen, And I said,
Speaker 2: actually locked the doors just in case.
Speaker 5: Shall we say? You're very safe here?
Speaker 2: But it's all kinds of weird and wonderful people there,
Speaker 2: and I thought I should challenge why we're there. S
Speaker 2: I was very hungry, hadn't had breakfast. Why doesn't she
Speaker 2: this is a real Michael wouldn't do this. She could
Speaker 2: take us through the Macers drive through.
Speaker 3: You have to learn how to go through a drive through,
Speaker 3: one of the most important.
Speaker 2: That Then you've got to make sure you've got the
Speaker 2: right position to lean out, tap and pay, move it forward,
Speaker 2: lean out, get the order as well.
Speaker 3: I can't be too far away from the window earth reach.

Speaker 5: Today.
Speaker 2: Three Topic Tuesday is a special one because of what's
Speaker 2: going on tonight with one last game. It's all themed
Speaker 2: around one last game.
Speaker 5: Three Topic Tuesday. Our team are called the could have Beens?
Speaker 5: Do you have a story?
Speaker 2: What is your It could have been me? I could
Speaker 2: have been What is your story? I'm still hoping from
Speaker 2: massive upset tonight. I mean, how Sport ever provided a
Speaker 2: greater underdog team than our could have been? I mean
Speaker 2: when you were just reeling off all those legends they're
Speaker 2: going up against, you know some amazing plings like coulde
Speaker 2: Fides is still really fit?
Speaker 3: Now he's ripped Codefiedes, Jordan Lewis, Nick Riewell, Nick Del Santo, Dipper,
Speaker 3: Ben Dixon.
Speaker 2: Williams did the legends angle, didn't we? It's actually rude
Speaker 2: the talent that we've got on that team.
Speaker 3: What was the amazing was it Leicester City who had
Speaker 3: five thousand to one odds and won the Premier League?
Speaker 5: I think it's greater. I think our wind a bookie
Speaker 5: would actually give you odds. But let's cheer them on.
Speaker 2: There's hope that there is a massive upset, Brottie's biggest upset.
Speaker 2: This would have to be, wouldn't it if they win tonight? Sorry,
Speaker 2: when they win tonight against all odds? Have you done
Speaker 2: what we hope they can do against all odds? Overcoming
Speaker 2: overwhelming odds stacked against you. Jack has nudged me to
Speaker 2: do this one. I don't like what would doing it,
Speaker 2: but I think we have to to be realistic whenever
Speaker 2: you lost greatly, because in life you can lose greatly,
Speaker 2: can't you. Yep, you can lose with dignity, with style,
Speaker 2: with grace.
Speaker 5: Trying to convince myself horrible losses it's called no, it's
Speaker 5: called losing greatly.
Speaker 3: I'll give you an example. When I played junior basketball.
Speaker 3: We played against a team who were about a year
Speaker 3: older than us and in the A grade. We were
Speaker 3: in the C grade. We lost one hundred and ten
Speaker 3: to nil. What one hundred and ten to niil? Our
Speaker 3: only chance to score was I got found and got
Speaker 3: two shots at the lawn towards the end of the game,
Speaker 3: and to Jack Lebron. Everybody was like, well, at least
Speaker 3: we won't be zero. Yeah, I missed the first one.
Speaker 3: Well come on, pressure's on. We don't want to be
Speaker 3: zero air ball. Okay, so you're calling it horrible losses,
Speaker 3: it's a.
Speaker 5: Double A side. I'm calling it losing greatly.
Speaker 2: Jack's calling it horrible loss So those are the three
Speaker 2: phones we're gonna be run this morning.
Speaker 5: It could have been me. What is your story where
Speaker 5: it could have been you? What could have happened in
Speaker 5: your life?
Speaker 3: And that doesn't just have to be an AFL like,
Speaker 3: it could be any for any sport. Anything that you
Speaker 3: could have been.
Speaker 2: Could have been down to the final three on Blowing
Speaker 2: Away this glass blowing TV show and watching at the
Speaker 2: moment on Netflix. I don't know why to punt that
Speaker 2: one out, just to keep the options open. The lines
Speaker 2: are fired up. Now everyone's got that could have been
Speaker 2: I could have anyone else Greast's glass Blowers.

Speaker 2: to greatness tonight and it could have been me like
Speaker 2: our nine players tonight. Have you got a sliding doors
Speaker 2: moment where you were destined for one thing and then
Speaker 2: something else came along?
Speaker 5: Good morning, Eric, Good Hi Christian.
Speaker 9: I've got a greatest loss story. Playing in a school
Speaker 9: high school football.
Speaker 10: All our year, twelve students were.
Speaker 9: On midyear exam, so it was render crowd of year
Speaker 9: ten and eleven students. I was in year eleven and

Speaker 3: points a lot?
Speaker 4: All?
Speaker 9: They're interchange and everybody scored. We were all shying of

Speaker 9: remember there was one guy so big now I'm just
Speaker 9: over six foot and there were about four of us
Speaker 9: jumped on this one man mountain and he just kept
Speaker 9: running and kicked the goal.
Speaker 5: It was either the sports teacher he had a bit
Speaker 5: bigger than that.
Speaker 3: Well, at least, how many goals is it? It's seventy
Speaker 3: nine goals?
Speaker 5: Oh my god, this is scaring me about tonight.

Speaker 3: blowout that bad.
Speaker 5: No, come on, let's be positive negativity. Joe, you drapped
Speaker 5: for that.
Speaker 2: Eric, That's an amazing story of losing greatly. Thank you

Speaker 5: Okay if you go.
Speaker 10: No, mine was a horrible loss, very horrible. I was
Speaker 10: in my high school house swimming athletics team and I
Speaker 10: was sort of forced into doing it. I can't swim
Speaker 10: to save myself, literally, and I was in the one
Speaker 10: hundred meters backstroke, and so the race begins and I'm
Speaker 10: thrashing away and I sort of open my as look
Speaker 10: up and there's an entourage of people over over me,
Speaker 10: cheering and you know I'm winning. I'm winning. I'm winning, yes,
Speaker 10: and doing well. And all of a sudden something passes
Speaker 10: me and it's another swimmer. So no, only was I
Speaker 10: so bad, the next race had begun and surpassed me.
Speaker 5: Oh man, Adam, we're not laughing at you, buddy, I'm
Speaker 5: laughing with you. But this is like therapy that.
Speaker 2: Changes a man, you know, that changes a man's soul
Speaker 2: for one hundred well, it.
Speaker 10: Just kind of walked did the walk of shams one
Speaker 10: of the most embarrassing wet.
Speaker 3: Feet on those tiles, and they started the next right,
Speaker 3: How strict is the schedule where they can't just wait
Speaker 3: another minute for you?
Speaker 5: We just wait for him.
Speaker 2: And also you weren't that good? Well, they give you
Speaker 2: a backstroke. It's like the hardest thing to do, and
Speaker 2: pleatically backstroke.
Speaker 5: It's so hard. Yeah, well, I don't know if you
Speaker 5: were crying.
Speaker 2: Then at the end, I will totally understand if that happened.
Speaker 2: That is, we'll give you a pair of gold class
Speaker 2: tickets as well. Why don't Adam own it? Thank you
Speaker 2: so much, no pleasure, that's an awesome story.
Speaker 6: Christian Show podcast talking.
Speaker 2: Some more and then about horrible losses, losing greatly. I
Speaker 2: don't know if this is the right play for us
Speaker 2: to be motivating our could have beens tonight.
Speaker 5: It feels like, you know, we've just decided to lead
Speaker 5: to what's that any kind of positive?
Speaker 3: Can we just pretend to unassociated to anything to do
Speaker 3: with the night's game one last game.
Speaker 2: I didn't even think of tonight's game one last game
Speaker 2: till it up. Then it's unrelated. Why suddenly we would
Speaker 2: just dedicate to the show twelve hours four first bounce
Speaker 2: to horrible Losses.
Speaker 3: I just remembered that almost twenty years ago, I had
Speaker 3: a terrible loss.
Speaker 5: In random recollection.
Speaker 2: There's nothing recently around in the show life right now
Speaker 2: that's made you stir that up.
Speaker 3: One hundred and ten to nil. I was the only
Speaker 3: person who had a chance to score standing at the
Speaker 3: free throw line, and I missed two shots. We lost
Speaker 3: one hundred and ten to nil.
Speaker 2: This does not this one about to tell it does
Speaker 2: not involve either of my daughters. Okay, it's a friend
Speaker 2: of mine's daughter. We clear, I am yeah, we clear. Yeah,
Speaker 2: So this is not one of mine. It's not one
Speaker 2: of mine, yeah, okay, but a friend of mine his daughter. Okay,
Speaker 2: two weeks ago I think he said it was two
Speaker 2: weeks ago. Was that a rowing regatta? They called it
Speaker 2: in the world of rowing regards to a huge tournament? Right?
Speaker 5: Was school from all over the state?
Speaker 3: Your daughter Rose is in any connection.
Speaker 5: To the Connection team? Why we're talking about horrible losses
Speaker 5: in one last game? Unrelated?
Speaker 2: She does rot.
Speaker 3: People have to row, Yeah, lots and lots of everyone
Speaker 3: all the time.
Speaker 5: My friend's daughter, she came last.
Speaker 3: I mean I really know how far behind in the race?
Speaker 5: One minute nineteen, not behind the winner, the person who
Speaker 5: came fourth.
Speaker 3: Oh that is bad. Yeah, last by over a minute.
Speaker 2: Yeah. So yeah, all right, So we're talking about losing
Speaker 2: greatly today, Michael.
Speaker 11: Good morning, Good morning Christian. How's it going great?
Speaker 5: Michael? So your story about losing greatly? What happened?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 11: By thirty years ago, I was playing rugby in my
Speaker 11: hometown and we had the opportunity to come up against
Speaker 11: an egrett a professional team basically like a AFL standard team,
Speaker 11: and we got absolutely harmored.
Speaker 2: Now let me just start you for a minute here
Speaker 2: because obviously this is your accent. You're obviously from Wales. Yes, no,
Speaker 2: it's a lovely accent. Like Robert Brandner. I loved the
Speaker 2: Welsh accent. But in Wales, rugby is everything. It's your
Speaker 2: number one sport. You play with passionate pride as well.
Speaker 11: Correct. Yes, So what happens so well, basically I was
Speaker 11: playing second role at the time and we come up
Speaker 11: against like your Essendon's or your sort of one of
Speaker 11: the one of the more teams, yeah, one of the
Speaker 11: better teams. Yeah, and we were in division seventy and
Speaker 11: basically we got hammered one hundred and five. I think
Speaker 11: we got around rugby.
Speaker 3: I've not ever heard that in one hundred three digit
Speaker 3: scoring rugby should not be sing.
Speaker 5: This is why you now live in Australia. There were
Speaker 5: all of you.
Speaker 2: We paraded around the street and said down under you
Speaker 2: think about for.
Speaker 11: I was up against the guy who stood a good
Speaker 11: five to six inches taller than me and twenty five
Speaker 11: kilos only I didn't get a chance.
Speaker 2: That's not.
Speaker 11: Excuses.
Speaker 5: It happened.
Speaker 2: Embraced to suck. Don't blame five inches. No men like
Speaker 2: to do that about the five inches that've only had
Speaker 2: five inches on me.
Speaker 5: Life would have been different.
Speaker 11: And they actually took pity, honest, they actually took podophic.
Speaker 2: That.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we went off the same going for the kill
Speaker 5: ad to make it merciless.
Speaker 11: It was definitely a good life experience.
Speaker 5: That's great, Michael, lovely story. Thank you very much. Cool
Speaker 5: and have a good day, buddy.
Speaker 2: Hi.
Speaker 6: The Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 2: All right, I feel really bad now we've had some
Speaker 2: really funny stories about horrible losses. I mean really really
Speaker 2: funny stories. I know all the could have bins are
Speaker 2: listening right now. Twelve hours from now, it will all
Speaker 2: be over. The game will all be over. And we
Speaker 2: spent weeks getting to know these characters, these men, these nicknames,
Speaker 2: and they are genuinely, every single one of them, the
Speaker 2: loveliest bunch to launch this idea. We'll definitely be doing
Speaker 2: again next year, and it will be a challenge to
Speaker 2: find a bunch of guys as much fun ass to
Speaker 2: hang out and get to know as we've had the
Speaker 2: last couple of weeks. Jack and I actually joined the
Speaker 2: WhatsApp group, but they're all in right now where it's
Speaker 2: just so. There are hundreds of messages between them every
Speaker 2: couple of hours.
Speaker 5: It's been great.
Speaker 2: But they're listening right now, and they're playing tonight, and
Speaker 2: I know we've had a bit of fun with the
Speaker 2: horrible losses. The most genuinely, the most important thing for
Speaker 2: us and me really is that they just enjoy tonight.
Speaker 2: It's been so much from the last colleague. I hope
Speaker 2: they really really enjoy it. It isn't about the scores
Speaker 2: at the end of the game, It's about them taking part.
Speaker 2: They all stepped forward. Most of them weren't didn't even
Speaker 2: nominate themselves.
Speaker 5: They had them.
Speaker 2: They had mums like Darling Davis' mum nominate him, Matilda
Speaker 2: the thirteen year old nominating her dad Sledgend. You know,
Speaker 2: they were nominated by other people, and it takes a
Speaker 2: lot of bravery when you're not possibly in your best
Speaker 2: prime shape that you were twenty odd years ago, thirty
Speaker 2: years ago. And then suddenly when we started talking about
Speaker 2: this idea and we said would you be up for this,
Speaker 2: and we start giving your nicknames, putting your team. We
