00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:05,640
Speaker 1: All right today on the show, and they want to

4
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:07,840
Speaker 1: hear your stories about crazy uncles. This came off the

5
00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:12,080
Speaker 1: back of yesterday. I got this text message from Tamika

6
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 1: when we're asking you who you named after christ My

7
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:18,319
Speaker 1: uncle was in charge of naming my brother. I mean,

8
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:19,920
Speaker 1: I don't know about you, guys, I've never heard of this,

9
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:22,119
Speaker 1: so you know, sometimes it might be a book or

10
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:24,800
Speaker 1: a movie that influences kids' names and stuff like that.

11
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 1: But actually just palming it off to out of any

12
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 1: family member, your mum or dad, I could maybe understand.

13
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:33,240
Speaker 1: But the uncle in the family tree is the home

14
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:36,240
Speaker 1: of the crazies. My uncle was in charge of naming

15
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:38,640
Speaker 1: my brother. Not knowing what to call him, he put

16
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 1: a bet on the horses and said the next jockey

17
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 1: to win when I named them after them. The jockey

18
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 1: was a girl, so that didn't work, so we changed

19
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 1: it to the cricket and the next batter to play.

20
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:50,520
Speaker 1: That was Brett Lee's first Test match, and my brother

21
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,519
Speaker 1: is named Brett Lee. The incredible scene. So I want

00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 1: to know today about crazy uncles. Jack, You've got crazy uncle.
