The thing that's been on my mind the most this week that I have pushed very hard to get as a segment within the episode, but you only settled for a pre-dinner mint. Well, we have to have standards around here. This didn't cut the mustard. Of course it cut the mustard. Wait till the listeners find out. So the loggies are coming up in Australia. So local, they're like the best we have. They're our television award. There are, yeah. Or is the best we have an actor?

Like, good question. Look, yeah, they're like the Australian Emmys. Yeah. There are TV awards for our personalities. Now, if you are listening from overseas, what you need to know is there's a man in Australia, a sports presenter, commentator, journalist called Bruce McAvaney.

National icon. I would say he would genuinely be one of the most adored people in the country.

He is very well known for his Olympics commentary. So you can all understand. Zara McDonald loves

Bruce because Bruce has commentated the biggest Olympics

moments. He like rises to the challenge of big Olympic moments and commentates them with

heart and courage. He's an Olympian himself. He puts words to the feeling Zara

McDonald has. Totally. So let the record show. I am a Bruce McAvaney stand. What I want

the listeners to know is this year in the 26 Logies, they're debuting a brand new category

of award. Correct. What is it called? It's called the Bruce McIvaney Award for most

popular sports presenter. Let us make it clear. Bruce McAvaney Award for Most Popular Sports presenter.

Let us make it clear.

Bruce McAvaney are still working, still in the industry, still boots on the ground journalism.

Totally.

So there should be an award named after him.

The small sort of little thing that's in my mind is that Bruce McAvaney has been nominated for the new award that's called the Bruce McAvaney Award.

It's the first year and he's nominated for his own award.

I know you just said he should have his own award category.

And I agree.

I think the category should launch after he's retired though. I think it's weird. I think it's a bit strange. Like, no one else can win the award now. No, well, that's the thing. There are like five other poor sports presenters who are nominated for this. You can't have the Bruce McAvaney Award and not give it to Bruce McAvaney. That's what I mean. So what are we all going to do? It's either just going to go to Bruce McAvaney or it's not and it's going to be a scandal. And I just don't see anyone talking about this in the way that perhaps it should be. I know we rarely talk about gambling on this podcast, but shall we put a bed on Bruce McAvaney? Well, this is the thing. What a result. She's like, I don't normally, I wouldn't normally, I'm just, this is just for the sake of, I can't.

Or do we back a dark horse and we go? in the Bruce McAvany. What are his odds? She's like, I don't normally, I wouldn't normally, I'm just, this is just for the sake of, I can't.

Or do we back a dark horse and we go as anti-Brus McAvaney? No, you have to back Bruce in this case. It's a shoe-in. Anyway, that's it for me. I was going to look up the odds, but I can't be bothered. Good luck to all the nominees for the Bruce McIvaney Award.
