Well, good morning everybody, and happy for a Friday. We are good clan. Good to know you are safe and well. When I heard there was a nightclub fire on Chapel Street, I was like, oh no, my boy.

That's near my house. I didn't even you didn't.

Hear a thing.

Didn't hear a thing?

Fifty fire trucks?

Did you really say fifty fifty that's a big fire. Look at it.

And that where that is, So if you are in and around Chapel Street, that would be between High Street and Commercial Roads. Chapel Street is all blocked off morning No, but where that is is very residential around there, so they would have they would have been trying to get that out.

Very cool because it's.

Further up.

It's further up actually.

But the Pran end.

But it was two am it broke out, and there'd be a lot of traffic around that KFC, which is located just a few the McDonald's.

Ronald.

Ronald looks okay so far, it's the opposite side of the road.

Yeah, Jesney Commercial Road there right.

For a worry, I thought it was around Messina, but that's more winds.

Chapel Street is a huge thoroughfare for people getting to them from work.

There's McDonald's.

Ye fifty we're watching live on the Today.

Fifty fire trucks. That's unbelievable.

In fact, I used to live one street from there.

Did you go to lux nightclub.

Club?

And I've been to the night clab?

Is it opposite the old Chases?

I think so?

Yeah? Where was frost Bites back in the day?

Further up rods Now it wasn't Actually.

I love frost Bites now called Temperance, isn't is it?

He used to have the multi colid.

Slippy imagine a seven eleven.

That was the end of my street.

Yeah, right, fell accidentally fell in there on the way home.

A few times.

Whenever I'd come and visit Melbourne, I'd end up at frost Spots.

Yeah.

It was a bit of like people from out of town. They'd say where do you live? If they went from Melbourne and I go just near Chapel Street and they go, is that near frostpot? It was a bit of like an iconic location.

Do you think we need to bring it back?

No, I don't think so.

We could just stand at the seven eleven, poor vodka and people slurpy.

Talking about the glory days of Melbourne night clubs. Though what about it was actually an article about it that came out.

Did you ever go to Star Bar?

Is that like the poor Man's planet Hollywood? No?

Star Bar was where anyone who wanted to shag a football player would.

On a Sunday.

Actually, I think you should only ever been there once. And I was like, get me the hell out of you. I was already dating football party and another one.

Enough a speak show coming up today. Yesterday Clinton, I got the chance to catch up with the legend himself, Nick Curios. I'm gonna say I found him bloody endearing.

Now this is interesting.

I couldn't do the interview yesterday, but Nick Curios can be quite private. He doesn't do a lot of media and I did a big sit down interview with him on the Today Show years ago, and I remember saying that people, he is not what you see his.

People think he's a bit of a brac.

He's in a really good place, really happy and We just the interviews.

We covered some ground.

We spoke to free balling. Yes, after you hear this interview, you're going to look at him very differently. During the Australian Open, very very his racket and he's coming around to our house.

He said he would come around to a.

Tennis court.

No, no, no, God. Multiple times he really pushed the enhanced it.

He used to rent a house across the road from me.

Remember during this day and when I lived in Richmond, every morning I'd get up to go to work, and it was when he was knocked out of the tournament and he'd be coming home training.

We spoke training, We did chat about that, did you. Yeah, he had to say he had a story about living next door to you across road.

Thank you put it that way, did he?

Nick Curios. He's going to join us a little bit later on in the show. Those hand gestures will not make a video on our socials today, They won't. Morning, everyone, let's get into it. This is the kid LaRoy. Hey also coming up, we need to talk AFL draft as well. Our boy is a kangaroo. Morning everyone, this is nov. You are listening to Nova one hundred. You're on the air with Jason and Lauren. Clint is here as well.

Just avoid that Chapel Street area this morning, Melbourne, which is get a little update from the scene.

It has been a nightclub fire overnight.

Our intrepid friend Christina Hearn from the Today Show is there. She centers this live update outside She while people are passing under the crime scene tape to get into McDonald's.

Yes, it's across the road from McDonald's, but near the KFC on that side of the road on Chapel Street.

Lucky she was already at the club. She was at the scene ready to cover the story.

Do we know if the club is open when there's a fire. Get some more details from a McDonald's correspondent, Clint.

They arrived.

Now.

Man has his pulse on the fashion.

World the other day his pulse on the finger.

Yeah, that's the one. You reveal that there is a type of clothing which is slowly taking over the fashion world.

People are wearing scrubs as casual wear because it's easy, it's comfortable.

It's a thing.

I think we've got a fashion crisis in this country. If this is true, Clinton, I.

Think it's a bloody great idea in fact I've been on a website. Air scrubs are doing fifty. Well.

I didn't get on air scrubs. I got an Amazon. Yeah some stuff off Bezos drop some hook now. I got black because I thought Melbourne cheek.

Yeah, yours have arrived already. Look at them.

You look like dental assistance.

It's got pocket lots of the pockets.

Although I'm a bit disappointed because some of them said they had on six pockets.

Yeah there's sleep.

Oh my god, that's where it depends.

Go.

You can put stuff in your sleeve like a like a police officer.

They're a bit spandexy.

Can I feel the material going to look great with your lanyard around your neck.

And hang on ninety four to six.

They feel flammable. They do feel flammable.

I'm so excited for this.

Put them on, but I'm dressed. Where am I going to get changed?

Yeah?

I love it.

It's like active where so people are getting around and wearing these at home, out to do the groceries, out to pick the kids up.

How quick can someone change?

You?

Make me do it? Aren't you?

Okay? Can you go change?

I'm not a toy.

We'll wait, we'll wait, how quickly we'll wait?

So I've got to get my headphones off.

There, you're probably this probably went from the fact that I had a few friends at Channel nine colleagues, one of which bought them for his wife because it's all she wanted.

I mean, it's not high on Christmas list.

But was it a role play like I've always wanted to be with the nurse? I think so.

I think it's just more out of pure comfort. And then the beautiful and very talented Alicia Loxley said she was at school pickup.

That's what you were saying.

And a friend of hers that she knows doesn't work in the industry, like doesn't work in medicine, doesn't work in veterinary sides.

Oh my god.

Oh she's here.

Oh my godh god, look at you.

I apologize to the guys who were in early in sales that just saw my bare ass in the office as I.

Got it was worth it though. They look amazing.

You look professional.

You know.

The only thing you're missing.

The Milliard and missing pocket up here for my pants.

Pants you know you need.

This is what people are wearing.

Pull a shift at the Alphred.

No, no, no, she needs a Cross.

Cross guys. I can get. They're very comfortable.

It's not a pocket here, so many pockets, there's so many activities.

She looks great.

It's very comfy, black, slimming. Well, then I should definitely keep the black.

We have a new team uniform. We're wearing scrubs.

Oh my gosh, stretchy, a bit comfy, a bit like.

Show merch.

I love it.

We are not smart enough to be putting our name on scrubs.

Come on, I think I think that's the only thing we put our name off.

It's what the people want.

People want scrubs, people will get.

Do you think if I went down to Woolies right now, people will be nicer to me?

Sound like yeah, yeah, probably. I don't know if I'd go to Woolies in South Melbourne at six am in the morning, they'll be honest, though.

You might.

Oh no, oh my god, could you help this man over here? No, I'm just wearing these because they're come for on my fire nurse.

I'm not a nurse.

I'm just wearing it because it's fashionable.

Yesterday, Jace got a taste of your flavor, Clint, which is having multiple.

Joss, I don't know how I don't know.

How do you work multiple jobs? I work multiple jobs, but not as many as you clean.

I'll be honest.

To all the ARIA winners, many of them I not familiar with their work, and I need to really get my finger on the pulse.

Don't you worry?

Dom Dollar knew him. Well done, Higgins, well done.

I jumped in the chair with Ricky, Lee and Joel yesterday afternoon.

Anyway, a lot of traffic.

On Ricky Tim and Joel. So I tried to have a listen. I couldn't quite work out how to do it.

Three on that I couldn't find. Well, I was, I thought about it.

Yeah, I didn't realize you needed an app, an actual separate nover app, we say on. I never realized you actually had to download it from the app store.

So I did that, and then I didn't have a sign in.

We call it an app.

So then I went on the website.

Turns out our website is not Nova dot com dot are you that place is selling chairs?

It's nov FM dot com dot the This is not news to us. It was news to me anyway, is not you? No, no, it's not.

And then I had to get a sign in and I log in and I thought, stuff it, Clint, will tell me what's happening.

That's because we're collecting your data.

Yeah, so can I start with some pride?

I thought it was a scam, so I was like, I'm not signing up here.

Can I start with some praise? Please?

Well done? What else?

Well?

A few of the points he made on air fell a little flat.

Should we say let's start with should we start with Joel? Or yeah?

So?

I don't think you know how with us, when we talk about something off air, we always just bring it up on the air.

Well we sometimes, shouldn't you do we don't.

Maybe at the front of Maya.

Yes, so she's just flogged it from my she's working in visual merchandise.

I like it.

Good on your beck Everyone's got their trees up early this year. I think mine might go. This might be a Saturday job.

I think people are doing it early because they want a nice little hit of festive joy.

Something to be excited about it.

Well, another thing that could brighten your day is what we are doing here next Wednesday, Melbourne. We want you to think about someone you miss because a girlfriend of mine messaged me that I haven't seen about five or six years last week and I cannot tell you how much it brightens my weekend just hearing her voice. She sent me a voice note, well, voice noting back and forth.

Life.

There's no falling out and it's just, you know, life got in the way.

Life gotten the way. Maybe you moved away, maybe they moved away. COVID ruined friendships. And we've been to talking to people about it because next Wednesday, twenty seventh of November, we want everyone in Melbourne to text someone they've been thinking of.

So don't do it today. Give me a call, say hello.

Next Wednesday will be next. Send a voice note as reconnect day.

Reconnect to day next Wednesday, twenty seventh of November, Melbourne.

We did get this phone call earlier this week. Melinda in Endeavor Hills. What's your story?

Yeah, my friend Andique we used to work together six seven years ago. She was the best. She was there for me in a really hard time, no judgment, no anything. It's hard to find people like that.

How much would you love just to reconnect and just have a laugh with her.

I would love to go out with her.

Censor reunion video.

So that was Monday.

Off the back of the conversation we had, right, we got a DM on Monday afternoon saying, hey, guys, my friend Belinda rang today and was on air talking about our friendship. She sounded so emotional. I'm shattered that she's been feeling like that because it truly feels like yesterday. We saw each other at work every day.

We've got what are the odds that they were listening.

I know, I know she heard her friend talking about it and thirteen twenty fourteen. If there's someone that you know that you feel the same about, we've got Monique on the line right now.

Morning Monique, Morning, guys.

Did you have to replay it?

Right? It's beautiful.

So you're driving along on the way to work and you heard Blender and you're like, oh my god, this is about me, this is us.

Yeah.

Initially I was a little bit naive to the situation because, like I said, it literally feels like yesterday that there's like no time in between. And then yeah, hearing what she said, I was just gut it that that's how she's been a feeling, But did it make.

You miss the friendship as well?

Oh of course yeah instantly. It's just like because yeah, it literally just had felt like not five and.

Six years definitely haven't you reached out? Is it just my same reason? Just life gets in the way.

Life gets in the way. She has a crazy little toddler, Luke, like you mentioned it as well, Jase, that I'm I'm the Clint in my friendship group. I'm the single girl. And yeah, sometimes you're just like, oh, they're busy, like the Yeah, they've got their busy life and a toddler. And we were both working early childhood, so I get it, and you don't want to be that inconvenience you're like, hey, like let's go out.

Let's go do something.

I think that would hurt her to know that. You look at.

Like, just quickly, Monique, what is it that you love about your friend Belinda?

I'm probably the one that's a little bit more blunt and like straight to the point where she has always sort of brought me back down and been like hang on, like look at it from this angle. Even with everything she's been through, she's like a very empathetic person. And I know like if I was to go through anything like, I could definitely reach out and yeah she'd be there.

But you used to work together. It's been what five or six years since you've seen each other or spoken to each each other. Well, we've got Belinda on the line right now, girls say, hid all got.

Oh?

I didn't want to.

It's not good radio. If we're just gonna cry.

Can someone say something I miss you?

Do?

I can eddie motion in your voice? Belinda? Was that nice? Hearing her talk about the friendship?

It was so nice and I'm so glad that she heard it. And I meant every word.

And what did she mean to you? Belinda?

Oh?

She was.

She was just an all round friend. Like we we spoke about everything. Honestly, we spoke about everything.

Got those friends, And sometimes it is at work because you leave that at work and you don't carry it with you all day.

Right, many, How nice is it to hear Belinda's voice?

Yeah?

Really good.

We'll let you guys connect off the air.

But I thanks to be getting in touch and being a part of this, because I think everybody listening has that friend that they just haven't spoken to in a while for no reason.

Well, our number is thirteen twenty four to ten to join us on the air. If you're listening to this and you've got that friend that jumped into your mind, it's and it's for so many different reasons, right yeah, let us know who it is and why you've drifted apart. Thirteen twenty four ten to join us on the air. And next Wednesday we are reconnecting for Christmas. Dudinus, what I move?

Jason Laws reading next to Christmas.

Yes, Melbourne, we want to bring us all together for Christmas. So put your thinking cap on and think about someone you miss, someone you haven't seen for a while, someone you haven't caught caught up with, purely because life's just gotten the way, but.

Also it feels so good.

Well, I've literally spent since we started doing this, each day when I'm driving home thinking of a different.

Pers Yeah, yeah, yeah, So hold it. If you've got someone, just sit on it. And if you haven't thought of someone yet, just keep thinking about it, because next Wednesday is the day and we're all going to do it together.

Because it takes the awkwardness.

Off, you can say, hey, are you I heard this thing on no over on Jason Lauren saying it's time to reconnect with people we're miss and that's you.

These people are getting involved what.

I met this amazing girl called Chelsea through my ex boyfriend, and hearing you guys talk about it on air has just made me really want to reach out to her again. We haven't really spoken since my X and I broke up, and yeah, I really miss her.

Hey, I'm Nick and I'd love to catch up with an old family friend, Tom. Our parents were family friends back in the day. We went to school together and then some stuff went down and we haven't really caught up since. So hopefully I'll be able to catch up with you, Tom.

Hey, my name is Alison.

I really want to reconnect with my old friend Kate. We used to get a UNI together. We were inseparable, but life got in the way. We've got different jobs. I haven't seen her in the years, but I really misheard. I've been thinking about it a lot now, especially the lead up to Christmas, and I think it'd be great.

To reconnect with her. An interesting one that got brought up there. Sometimes you lose connection with a friend because you might have met them through an next partner.

Yeah, and they've broken up people think they need to take a side, and really, you know, a few years down the track, you're like.

Oh, m's take outside.

Yeah.

But also things settle and all of a sudden you're like, oh, well, I was just really protective of my friends, and I probably now I've lost a great friend in the process too.

So it's those kind of friendships that you miss.

Maybe it's a colleague that you used to work with that you haven't spoken to in a long time. Maybe, like me, it was one of my best friends that I spent every weekend with in my sort of eighteen nineteen twenties thirty mid twenties.

Can I miss her?

Depends on the depends on the ex partner.

Sometimes, Oh no, don't reconnect with an X. That no different story that is not reconnect with an X is another day next Wednesday.

Throw the leg over one more time as a day will celebrate next year.

Reheating old the sleep is another day this year.

It is reconnect ate Some soup needs to go unheeded.

Yep, can you remember down for me?

Brother?

Thanks mate, Joanne and Duloma.

Right morning, Joe.

Good morning, good morning, guys.

How are we where? Good? Is this struck a chord with you. Is there someone yet thinking about it?

Has it?

Has?

There is someone I'm thinking about. Her name is Sarah Yep. Sarah's from Brunswick, and we were besties all through primary school, all through high school, even a little after high school when I moved to Werribee and she was still in Brunswick. We still had that connection and then weddings happened, babies happen, and we just lost touch. It was just, yeah, just lost touch. She did come to my fortieth so I just reach out to her, but that was eight years ago and we haven't seen each other since.

When she rocked up at the fortieth was it was it like there was no time the past.

It was it was it really was. We just brought back old memories and you know, used each other's nicknames that we had for each.

Other, names.

Special Joe. Sorry, what made a special Joe?

I think just that we grew up together and our families were friends as well, and her mum and dad are great. I think I believe they still live in the same count in Brunswick. And yeah, we just spoke about things that you wouldn't talk to other people about.

And right, that's a theme that's coming up.

You can't make that up with anyone else.

Joe, do you love the idea of this day of reconnecting with an old pel I do?

I do.

I do love it, And it sort of gives me an excuse too. I mean I probably could. I've only got her on Messinger, so that's okay. You know, I could easily just send her a message.

But it's just that initial message, isn't it.

Yes, Yes, most definitely.

So you're going to do it next Wednesday on reconnect Day?

I am.

I am gonna definitely do it, And I do hope she's listening because she'll know exactly, she'll recognize my voice, she'll know the history name. Her nickname was Soccer and mine was Joza.

Know that.

So she's listening.

Get ready next Wednesday, you guys are gonna catchup and you.

Know what, she's at the nail on the head. Use this as the reason or excuse to reach out. It takes away the awkwardness. Just Hey, I heard about reconnect Day on Nova. You jumped into my mind straight away. How you're being It doesn't.

Mean you have to have this huge commitment that you're going to see each other every week and it's just like, hey, I've been thinking of you, and it's so nice to think so fondly of someone that you used to spend so much time with and know that you've still got it.

And then you don't have to talk to them for another year until we roll this day out again next year once again. No one injured, thank god. But a huge nightclub fire last night on Chapel Street.

I believe the road might still be closed nightclub.

If you've got anything in the lost and found, it is a lost so it's.

It's new commercial road there. Just trying to avoid that area. Chapel Street is closed.

Between two Rak and Mulven Road. It's closed.

He imagine the lost and found and in the nightclub.

So they lost some stuff in a nightclub, including my crew.

You know what, all the things I've lost in a nightclub, I've never once gone back to pick it up. Really, I've never once called the Lost and Found because I'm just like, I want to return to the seat of the crime.

Nope, I ain't going back there.

What have you lost there?

Like jackets?

It's always jackets, Yeah, that the girls take off and then you go just leave it here and I'll grab it later.

He got some stuff you missed in news, Clint.

Really the bank in Carnegie Carne.

He's an intriguing character, Jace, and he's on the comeback trail as well, which I'm really excited about, and I think you will discover he's really pumped about as well.

He will be the person everyone is talking about come January for the AO. It is Nick Curios.

Our next guest is one of the few people in the world who has beaten the big three of.

Tennis Djokovic, Federer and Nada.

Oh what a shot.

So he's at Australian legend no One for his fast serve and his fast mouth.

Please welcome to the show, Nick, carry out.

In the famous words of Dan Andrews, let's get on the beers.

Hello mate, that's I'm good mate. That's very relevant.

Although I haven't been on the beer as much because I'm preparing for the Eyes Open. But afterwards I can all assure you that we'll be getting on the strider, that's for sure.

We'll get to the beer in a sec. But we've missed you, Nick, Have you missed us? Have you have you missed the game?

Yeah, I mean, look, it's been a it's been a very eventful last couple of years. And look, I think earlier in my career, if I was injured like this, I'd probably be a bit shattered. But you know, it's part of I guess, being an athlete, and every athlete goes through and we see, you know, it's just another part of the journey. But I'm just really glad to

So yeah, I'm really happy to be back.

God, it'd be bloody good to have you back in Melbourne come January. And you're right, you know, a bit of entertainment because you know, I know sometimes it's odd Nick, You're loud, you're outspoken stuff, you bring a bit of life to the sport.

I say, yeah, yeah, definitely.

I think it's a very interesting time at the moment in the tennis world. Obviously we see you know, Djokovic, you know, I think we could all say he's at the tail end of his career, he's still a phenomenal player, but Nadel literally today officially his last ever time we're going to see him on the court. Federer gone. So look, there's some there's some amazing players still out there. But I think the game is a bit bland at the moment. And you know, everyone's like liking each other and everyone's

Like that's why we watch. We watch for entertainment.

We watch for bad blood, we watch for you know, something maybe happening, and we want. You know, I'm all for being friends off the call. I just think there's a bit too much respect inside the lines at the moment.

It's the same in radio. I'll give you a hot tip. We're not going for l soon.

Nick. You're happy, mate? Are you happy?

Oh?

Yeah?

I look, I think I guess I'm not sad. I guess that's how I do it. I mean, like my life at the moment's a whirlwind obviously been doing a lot of things on and off the court. But look, I just yeah, I mean I'm doing great. I'm always staying busy, and you know I've been I think I've been doing a lot more I guess charity work and spending a lot of more time.

With kids and stuff.

So I guess that's that's something that I genuinely enjoy I love doing, and I think that's almost probably been the most humbling and definitely the most powerful experience that I've been really tried to put an effort towards the last couple of years, so I think it's helping me. You know, not take anything for granted, but yeah, look, I feel I feel amazing, and I'm just really excited for the next couple of months.

Go with me here. You got me in trouble. The other day, my w was walking past the bedroom door and the door was shut. She heard like some strange sounds coming out of the bedroom. It was a video Nick I was watching, but hang on, she opened the door and you had me in bloody tears. It was Adrian Portelli put this little sick kid on a play and flew him to meet Nick, and Nick was signed a tennis racket gave it over to what a little legend he was.

Yeah, Harrison was. He was.

He was a character. And you know, obviously when you see someone like that who has the reality rare. Yeah, I mean he has, he has. He's the only person in Australia with with that condition.

And I mean, look, he had a lot of life about him.

To be honest, I mean, if he's going to be listening to this family, he was still cheeky, so that a lot attitude and still enjoyed every every little moment.

And look that's what I mean.

I mean, really you could tell you made his year mate. It was just such a nice moment. It was really really cool, well done, Yeah it was.

It was awesome.

So yeah, I'm be doing more of that and hopefully, you know, I could bring some of these people down to AO if they're able to come and give him a you know, cool experience.

You need poor Telly's private jet, that's what you mean.

I don't fly private often.

To be honest.

He's he's an.

Older you're a man of the people.

You're gonna buy next year's block.

Ah, Man, He's he's hustling all respect the man. He's he's he's he's building the empire, that's for sure.

Yeah, you're doing pretty well. All right, let's talker. He's got his own bite. Where did this come about?

So it's actually it's it's a crazy story because you know, I've got a really good personal relationship with one of the other owners. I met him he actually owns a nightclub in Sydney and I was going out so often. We became good friends, and then I know what happens, and then we were like, you know what, let's let's do this, like let's you know, I mean it's all about I mean, it all comes down to just being you know, proud to be Australian. And look, I'm not

Strider at four point fours.

They're dangerous. Did your mum get on it when she was at the brewery.

She did taste it, My mom, she did taste it. I'm not gonna lie. She's in hospital at the moment. The poor.

Nah, she she'll be okay, she'll be okay. But yeah, she did have a little sip. She doesn't mind a little red wine.

But she did have a bit of the beer and she loved it. And look, I just love the people.

Like obviously, you know, I had a lot of you know, getting to this point in my career, you have a lot of options of who you want to work with. But the thing that stood out for me with this was it's all Ausy. You know, I've got a great relationship with the people in the in the business as well, and I think we can really, you know, do some amazing things in Australia with it. First of all, like all these other Australian beers at the moment, they're not

We are on the air with tennis superstar Nick Kurrios this morning.

Coming up next, our chat with Nick continues and I'm going to tell you where I saw him, and it wasn't on the tennis court.

It was very late at night.

I don't know if he was happy about sharing this story, but we'll do it next. Yesterday Clint and I got the chance to catch up with the tennis superstar himself and the man that will be returning to Melbourne for the A in January, Nick Kurios.

Jason, last time I saw Nick, it wasn't doing an on court interview for Channel nine. It was actually at Electric with the NASI.

So I'm hoping those stairs will get you when I'm hoping. I don't know about that place, I'm hoping it's on tap. When we next go back.

I'll give it inside the clint here Nick, you sit there going you've got nightclub, You've got friends at own clubs. I was out with Clint one night. He left public House in the back of a taxi holding the DJ decks for the DJ going to the next venue.

Oh that's right, but.

No, that's life goals. That's life goals.

The summer is approaching, Nick, and you've already told us how pumped you are. But just take us through the trials and tribulation. The wrist has been the big issue. But looks at your cherry right now. But you must have hit a few lows though there.

Oh yeah, one hundred percent, man. I mean, look, had the best year of my career. I'll give you the best year of my career. Was I set away from Wimbledon basically, and yeah, I had had a bit of a risk niggle and then ended up being quite significant. I needed a risk reconstruction. And obviously, when you get told that playing a racket sport in your right wrists, you're standing down the barrel of maybe not ever playing again. And the surgeon was pretty transparent me. He was like,

But I appreciate it, and I appreciate the positive, positive.

Look he did an he did an amazing job. Everything went well, and it was six months post surgery. I didn't feel any honestly, didn't feel any improvement. I was like, I don't think I'm ever going to play again. I spoke to my team and obviously let my family know that it wasn't going great. And then nine months out got some improvement and then just never really gave in.

So and you can you can see the excitement in your face. How'd you go post surgery? Everyone have to batter your toast for you. Do we ever get as rock bottom wiping?

Honestly, my fingers were like there were like sausages, Like my hand was.

Yah fingers.

Oh no, they're all right now. But like you can see the sky now, like see that sky there?

Yeah, and then it's both sides as well.

It's pretty disgusting, but U and.

The risk is back to it?

Would you say hundred percent strength?

Oh yeah, no, like strength wise, it's right there. Like I just came off the court after three. I mean, I feel it feels obviously doesn't feel how it once was, but it's it's good enough to get out there and compete. I mean, as an athlete, you're never going to fell one hundred percent anyway. But I was in a cast for twelve weeks. I mean it was it was rough footing man.

But when you're when you're ature, grown up, do people still sign your cast or is that just a school thing?

No one signed my cast?

Did you watch the fight the other day, Tyson?

I did watch the fight?

Thoughts you met Tyson before haven't you.

Yeah, I've really close with Logan, but I've had Mike Tyson on my podcast and I've invested in Jake Paul's W brand as well, so I've got But look, let's let's not let's not sit here and say it wasn't like. I mean, they both made an incredible amount of money, and I'm not taking away anything from Jake Paul. Yeah, but let's let's be real, Like Jake Paul's is a hell of an athlete.

He's put the work in.

He's you can't deny that he's a legit boxer at the moment, Like, he's one of the biggest names in entertainment. So he's at that point where he can literally put anyone in front of him. People are gonna I mean, we're the idiots, to be honest, sitting down streaming it.

But like, look, props to both of them.

I mean, look, Tyson to even get in the ring at sixty is incredible.

I mean, I don't like he looked like he was struggling.

But those guys are some smart businessmen.

That's all I'm going to say.

Just off the back of Tyson, you always wear pants in the dressing room. Don't you Just in case the camera.

Grabs you, guys, I free ball when I play tennis, so when I'm playing the Grand Slams, you can just picture me now, free ball.

No, I'm good, I'm good, disguising a bit wow.

Hey tell you what dreams came true? Last night at Marvel Stadium, just over twenty of the finest young teenage footballers landed at AFL clubs, including a bloke Qween chatted to yesterday who was deservedly wrapped with his new home.

With pick two North Melbourne select Finn oh Sullivan from the Oakley Charges in McRoy.

Puts on their four clay.

Yes, we chatted to him yesterday, North Melbourne's latest recruit. We're gonna we're gonna claim him as our own.

Day he's a North Melbourne player now, Fino Sullivan, Good morning and congratulations body.

That's how are you feeling.

I've been static at the moment. Yeah, how last I was their friends? So yeah, no, it over the moon.

So you've gone to North Melbourne. You're now part of an AFL team.

I know you. Best mate also got picked up by the Tigers.

How did two eighteen year old boys celebrate when they find out they're about to live out their dreams?

Oh no, I was a bit of carry on, but no, we're actually staying together at the moment, together to an apartment down the road. So no, it was just just a good night together and then friends they just made it ten times better.

And I know we're chaining about it. Yesterday it's like, you know, everyone was quite the confident. You know you'll probably be picked up by the ruse and you know it all went to plan. But on the night when you're in the room, surely you must second guess yourself and have.

A bit of doubt, still get a bit nervous.

I think it's a.

Bit of day out floating around for everyone in the room. So yeah, when I get cold out was just a massive relief and yeah, something that you know I'll remember forever.

Hay Fin. How are the parentals? Were they happy?

Yeah?

Study no.

Worry.

He's the third son, No dat know how to do it now?

Is on the other siblings? Now you'd be looking at them. He's got himself.

Do your brothers play footy?

Yeah?

Yeah, I think yeah, he's trying to get.

Do you want to get the whole fan there?

What excites you about heading to Arden Street, Finn?

There's so much to look out there. I already know a couple of boy's already. They'll just spent a week with him last year. And yeah, you just look at the young listeners. I think, well, fucking ye get into that team. Yeah, there's something specially there.

Well the coach.

There's some especially going on there at the moment. I can't like to be a part of it.

Finn, yesterday, when you're on the show, you mentioned this.

Fin, who's your hero? Who's your idol? In forty in foot.

John? I bran if he won?

So he's not from damn all day.

Well, got someone on the line that wants to congratulate himself. Brownie back on over morning.

Thanks Curry, good to be back on fi. Well on my congratulations on the whole family. He's absolutely Proudy you're the the alley I sell, Himan boy, I didn't get the couch down on which my Boddy's feeling a bit and now wanted to be catch reco was terrible.

Geez cheez, thank you, thanks, as.

A family would always do. I'm sure he celebrated and.

I I got to bed and I raised it's all.

I think time.

So what time did you go to bed?

Accounting drafts, what happens from here, Brownie. When does he have to hang up the eighteen year old dream thinking boots and start getting serious.

Well, I think pre sessions already started. It's a real shock, but we know things. He's a young lady, looks after himself. He'll be straighting to I think. And what better place, not a better place together than under one of the great Alister Clarks and fulls on a premiership coach. Pretty cool experience, Brownie.

Are you taking the mickey or have you coached these brothers?

I did, Yeah, coach, I actually still coach when I go home. Maybe they are up in coins and I still go home and coach Hampton language which the boys have played through there. And Finnish's the youngest. So I was hanging on and hanging on to get feel. He came and trained with me this year, so I did actually get to meet him, but he didn't get to actually play with it. I knew he was a superstar all the ways through from a young age, and I thought, oh jeez, I wouldn't on hang around for this lab.

What I nor North Melbourne fans got to talk for to Brownie? What do you like seeing in him? And what advice have you got for the young fellow.

He's been compared to himsh a little bit Santa, So it's it's probably a little bit taller, but in a similar mold though. But I know I Sullivan Clan. I didn't have a good time, but I played against his brothers, sorry, against his dad and his uncle. Obviously his uncle's married to my sister and they're tough boys, and so he'll be uh, he'll be out of cope with it. The north stands are excited with what they're going to say. He should be a fifteen year gun midfield there.

Wow, hey, hey, Finn, that must that must mean a lot coming from someone like brown He's a champion of the game and one of your heroes.

Yeah, exactly in the way out of the game, man, Yeah, I get out.

Yeah, Oh my god, I'm obsisted.

You don't know which one is Jonathan?

Which one? I think? Every time we talked to Finn, we should do a drinking game every time he says, yeah, yeah.

It feels putting the.

Thanks for jumping on with us, Brownie, and congratulations Finn. We're going to follow your career. We had you from the start. Remember us when you're a bud on.

You boys, BROWDI take care guys, Well what a day for that kid.

So cool And it continues tonight at Marvel Stadium. There are going to be dozens and dozens of kids waking up tomorrow morning and their AFL footballs living drain.

It is just go on three past nine. You're on the air with Jason Lauren. Clint's here as well doing thanks to what if It is Aussie for travel avoid Chapel Street, Yes.

In particular between commercial road and tour. It was a big fire at Lux nightclub last night. The road is currently closed off. Well they investigate a lot.

Of people's credibility went up in flames at about two o'clock in the morning. Good news is no one injured.

She is great and the KFC is still intact.

Which I reckon. There'll be some damage in.

A chicken will be hot and spicy today.

McDonald's still up and running directly across the road.

We hope. So I believe Chapel Street is just such a notorious party district.

Though they're bringing back the Chapel Street Festival they announced yesterday or the day before.

It hasn't run for like fifteen years.

Is just down the road from Circus, around the corner, around the corner, let's see, you know all the landmarks.

Let's call it the.

McDonald's revolves stumbling distance right, Speaking of.

Which, they sent her out there stumbling nice and early on the today she was.

She wasn't in the night.

She was in one piece crumbling down.

She was having a six piece feed at KFC. When the fire starts.

Our friend Christina her and Today's show correspondent extraordinary morning stunners.

I thought I actually might see you somewhere along morning playing outside Revolver.

I seen, like Christine, so Lux nightclubs burned down.

It is completely destroyed laws, there is nothing less and look the witness statements.

Look.

I talked to one guy. He was eating a mac. He was eating a big mac outside Matches at the time, and he said to me, look, as he was just going into some frise, he saw two cars pull up. Three men and ballock fabers get out. Said they all had Jerry can. They broke into Lucks nightclub with an act set at the blaze. I ran out one with his leg on fire. Oh and they hot puted it in the car, screaming down Chapel Street North towards two Rack Roads.

It's been deliberately least absolutely did.

The guy finish his big mac?

Christine, He did finish his big mac.

He filmed.

He filmed it at the time. We couldn't use the vision because he had a stiggy.

Did he actually have his durry covering the camera?

He had this there?

It is he wanted.

He wanted a little bit of cash for his video. He was a lovely guy that had to break it to him that unfortunately, because of its stari it was unusable.

Who made you the fun police?

How do you manage to keep yours out of the shop when they crossed it?

Still from you?

Okay?

In all seriousness, everyone's okay right. There was no one, no one in the in the building.

No one was in the building thankfully at the time. And firefighters just done an amazing job. Given if you have a look at this vision of the flame for two hours to get it under control, they've done an amazing job making sure it didn't spread to other businesses.

Well, there's a lot of homes there as well. I used to live just behind that little pocket and it's full of house.

Can we fact check something Clint's been saying news because Lauren and I don't believe it. Christine Clint's been leading his news with the fire and saying there was fifty fire trucks on the scene. That sounds like a lot.

Let me down.

Okay, I don't want to dis credits dons, but there was fifty firefighter's fifteen truck mistake.

Mistake, you know what, someone else writes my news.

Thank you, Chris Channel Today Show, Thank you very much.

I'm assuming Chapel Street is still closed, so that the point of getting Christine on there was to find out if.

You should drive down Chappeles Street.

Or not, but instead it was just a pylong Clint, But I think Chupple Street is still closed in that little pocket between Commercial and Tac Road, so please avoid the area if possible.

We're going down there today. We're going to watch the Robbie Williams doc o and then he is on the show with us next week. Looking forward to that.

I love Robbie Williams much.

His docker looks interesting. A lot of it was filmed in Melbourne. Really better man, Yeah.

Not great. I want shorts.

I know what you're about to say.

You know what I'm going to say cold Play. Yes, with the Karate Kid. It's out the film clip that they filmed in Melbourne at the show.

The nice quick turnaround, wasn't it And it looks fabulous sensational.

Okay, Jason's been stressed all morning because we've got to go to watch the new Robbie Williams movie before we talk about it on the show.
