3
00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:10,960
Speaker 2: of pain today because this is the best footy show around.

4
00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:17,360
Speaker 2: We're talking about on Fox AFL three sixty. When I

5
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:20,239
Speaker 2: hear this thing tune and I know the double that

6
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:23,600
Speaker 2: one of the greatest double ats on TV in Australian

7
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 2: broadcasting history are coming back.

8
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:27,040
Speaker 3: It's like I hear this.

9
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 4: Happy Days, a Happy Day, and.

10
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 3: Robbo is the fons and they've killed Phonsie.

11
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 2: They've killed Phonsie yesterday, last show of the season, and

12
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:44,959
Speaker 2: there's no Robbo. He's gone in what I can only describe.

13
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:47,600
Speaker 2: And look, maybe I'm being cynical or jaded here, but

14
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 2: normally when someone doesn't get a chance to say goodbye,

15
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 2: they've been breakfast radioed where they you just don't see

16
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 2: that person ever again.

17
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 3: You're like, what the hell happened to that person?

18
00:00:57,560 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 4: There was just well there was like because if you

19
00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 4: were coming from him, if it was his time to

20
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 4: step down, then surely he would just come on and

21
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 4: say is my last show?

22
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 3: Thanks team years hundreds of shows.

23
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 4: But I hate to think cynically they've pushed him out

24
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 4: because they think The perception is that people don't like Robbo,

25
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:16,480
Speaker 4: but the true fans of that show know that he

26
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 4: is just as important an ingredient as Jared.

27
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 2: Who's got all the crazy opinions and not so hot takes.

28
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:25,319
Speaker 2: Sometimes is Robbo.

29
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 4: You need the loose cash. Jared is the perfect football nerd,

30
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:29,839
Speaker 4: but we need the madman.

31
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 3: You need the yang to the yen. They're essentials.

32
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 2: There's the dark side of the moon and the bright

33
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 2: side of the moon, and together.

34
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 3: They are well. You used to love talking about the

35
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 3: moon on that show.

36
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 2: They illuminated our front roomors in the evening.

37
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:45,320
Speaker 3: I generally thought there were great double.

38
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 4: At yes and any time that Robbo was absent and

39
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 4: I'll turn on and it was one of the ex

40
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 4: players filling in, and that don't bother don't bothered to

41
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 4: get dry analysis.

42
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 3: Not just that they would always sit up right.

43
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 2: What I like that Robbo was he would slump o

44
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 2: that gest like, actually he was chatting to you at

45
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 2: the bar, right, And I liked that guy character, Mam.

46
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 2: He's the every man. He's got to take on everything,

47
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 2: and in footy you've got to have so much coverage.

48
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:13,919
Speaker 2: Here's that show four nights a week, it's a lot

49
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 2: to say about Footier, right, they're going to miss.

50
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 4: Him, Yes, because he does it with emotion. He doesn't

51
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 4: do it from the head. He does it from the heart.

52
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 2: This honestly would I mean for Jack and I they

53
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 2: take they've killed they've killed Lacey from Cagney Lacey. Those

54
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 2: two had chemistry and energy. You ever seen the work together.

55
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 3: Pats Yeah, they're brilliant fourteen years.

56
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 2: It's a great teach just going about what I just said, Well,

57
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 2: I about you, Patsy that pushed him out?

58
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 3: No, no, no, what only Robbo has gone?

59
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 4: Where are they going?

60
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 1: Well, we seven poached them as well, because they.

61
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 3: Poached everyone else. I don't think they're poaching Robbo. I

62
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 3: don't think.

63
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 2: I don't think it's a poaching thing here. We need

64
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 2: to Why don't we start a podcast as in searching

65
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 2: for Robbo and actually call it three sixty on Football

66
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 2: three sixty as we invest to Gate Football three sixty

67
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 2: and search for Robbo. Now, there are a lot of

68
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 2: different people listen to the show. I'm betting one of

69
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:11,639
Speaker 2: our listeners knows Robbo maybe does his gardens. Yep, I

70
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 2: imagine I'm passing right, I might be onto someone I'm

71
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:17,640
Speaker 2: going to pull this thread. He's got good gardens and

72
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 2: maybe roses and stuff like that. And there's someone that

73
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,360
Speaker 2: sorts out his borders in his garden right that I

74
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 2: can and actually get word to Robbo. Does he want

75
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 2: to come on this show tomorrow to say his goodbye?

76
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:33,360
Speaker 4: Piece is a safe place Robo on this show?

77
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:34,640
Speaker 3: We stand by Robo.

78
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 2: Maybe we need to start a petition bring back Robbo,

79
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 2: Save our Robbo. I generally thought it was a great

80
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 2: show those two together. I can't stand why they've gone.

81
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 4: The problem is there are some loud trolls and we

82
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 4: actually work with one sadly that don't like Robbo, and

83
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 4: I think that whoever the powers of Beard Fox has gone.

84
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 4: All right, let's listen to the trolls.

85
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 3: Rio, what is your problem with Robbo? I wish him well.

86
00:03:58,480 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 3: He not what you said.

87
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 2: You asked why I was crying before the show today,

88
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 2: and I'm telling you now.

89
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 3: They've killed Robbo. He's not my cup of tea? What

90
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 3: does that mean? What is your cup of tea?

91
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 1: I find the show to just be like Robbo making

92
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 1: some crazy bombastic point Jared that going well what about this?

93
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 1: And then Robber goes ah, yeah, good point, and then

94
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 1: move on to the next pic.

95
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 2: And his people like you, the youth of Australia that

96
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:27,720
Speaker 2: forced Robbo out of a job.

97
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 1: I hope he finds somewhere else for you know, elderly

98
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 1: people like.

99
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:41,599
Speaker 2: Yourself either have a hot take on you that's just

100
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 2: short today.

101
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: I'm sure he would, but he's not allowed to say it.

102
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 4: He would say the things that other journalists were too scared.

103
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:50,159
Speaker 1: Too would never cross their mind.

104
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 3: He speaks for us, he's us. I just realize what

105
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 3: we're dealing with here.

106
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:59,280
Speaker 2: They always come for the truth sayers and they take

107
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:01,279
Speaker 2: them in the middle of the life. Suddenly he's there

108
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,920
Speaker 2: last week and it's all good, and then suddenly he's

109
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 2: gone over the weekend.

110
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,839
Speaker 3: Well we're distracted showing a Grand Final. They're putting a

111
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:09,599
Speaker 3: hood over his head where.

112
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,919
Speaker 2: He is driven out right now to country, getting dumped

113
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 2: out there, and.

114
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:19,039
Speaker 4: They'll replace him with some voice of football that they.

115
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:21,840
Speaker 3: That the reason.

116
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 4: Week football.

117
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 2: I don't want a reason. Please, does anyone know Robbo?

118
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 2: Get word to him. This is a safe space. He

119
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 2: can use our microphones to say his final words.

120
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:36,360
