Speaker 2: invited to before the game to a lunch and I

9
00:00:39,405 --> 00:00:42,124
Speaker 2: was invited along with Mick molloy. Now, Mick is one

10
00:00:42,165 --> 00:00:44,965
Speaker 2: of my radio heroes. I've been lucky enough to meet

11
00:00:45,004 --> 00:00:47,165
Speaker 2: Mick a couple of times. He's a lovely guy. So

12
00:00:47,205 --> 00:00:49,165
Speaker 2: I was very excited that Mick and I were going

13
00:00:49,205 --> 00:00:51,565
Speaker 2: to have a long lunch together. And Mick is a

14
00:00:51,644 --> 00:00:54,285
Speaker 2: legend for his love of a long lunch. So we

15
00:00:54,285 --> 00:00:56,485
Speaker 2: were told to get to this Olympic room where there's

16
00:00:56,485 --> 00:00:58,804
Speaker 2: going to be six hundred people there. Ben Danaher goot

17
00:00:58,845 --> 00:01:01,605
Speaker 2: up and did an incredible speech about his dad and

18
00:01:01,645 --> 00:01:03,405
Speaker 2: the charity and all the money they're raised and what

19
00:01:03,445 --> 00:01:05,845
Speaker 2: they're doing with him. It was incredible. So anyway I

20
00:01:05,885 --> 00:01:08,084
Speaker 2: get there, I'm very excited. I go to our table

21
00:01:08,325 --> 00:01:10,485
Speaker 2: and I see that my name is next to Mick

22
00:01:10,725 --> 00:01:12,485
Speaker 2: and take a photo of it. I send it back

23
00:01:12,485 --> 00:01:14,765
Speaker 2: to my wife because she knows what means to me

24
00:01:14,805 --> 00:01:16,965
Speaker 2: in the show Martin and Maloy I still have. The

25
00:01:16,965 --> 00:01:20,005
Speaker 2: first radio boss I had was in Australian in nineteen

26
00:01:20,085 --> 00:01:22,925
Speaker 2: ninety eight, and obviously there was no podcast in them,

27
00:01:23,085 --> 00:01:25,405
Speaker 2: but he would tell me about this ossie duo called

28
00:01:25,565 --> 00:01:27,925
Speaker 2: Martin Molloy and I thought it was just one person.

29
00:01:28,005 --> 00:01:30,765
Speaker 2: Went no, no, no, it's two people. Okay, very Australian way,

30
00:01:30,845 --> 00:01:33,405
Speaker 2: just crunched two names together and don't belong together.

31
00:01:33,605 --> 00:01:34,965
Speaker 1: And he gave me a couple of CDs of.

32
00:01:34,965 --> 00:01:38,205
Speaker 2: Theirs Poop Shoe and Eat It Grease, which I still

33
00:01:38,205 --> 00:01:41,045
Speaker 2: have for this day. So actually I took a photo

34
00:01:41,165 --> 00:01:43,285
Speaker 2: to my wife and I was actually taking it to myself, like,

35
00:01:43,485 --> 00:01:43,925
Speaker 2: oh my god.

36
00:01:43,965 --> 00:01:45,525
Speaker 1: If I had known those years ago and I first

37
00:01:45,525 --> 00:01:46,525
Speaker 1: heard how.

38
00:01:46,365 --> 00:01:48,325
Speaker 2: Great they were and how the kind of radio you

39
00:01:48,365 --> 00:01:50,205
Speaker 2: could do, I would have got such a kick. That

00:01:50,765 --> 00:01:53,405
Speaker 2: eighty is twenty seven years later, I'm here, I'm sat

46
00:02:05,085 --> 00:02:09,685
Speaker 2: legal reasons. Second beer turns up the atmosphere. The atmosphere

47
00:02:09,805 --> 00:02:12,845
Speaker 2: is great then because the tables are crammed into this

48
00:02:13,005 --> 00:02:15,204
