Got anything good?

Hey, this is the Christian O'Connell Show podcast.

Good morning, Rio. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning, Alex. Morning. Good morning. Good morning, Patty. Good morning. Good morning, Alex.

Morning.

Good morning, Patty.

Good morning.

Some team members must think that we are stupid.

There's a guy who works on the show called Locky Wright, and he's a mega NRL fan.

Suddenly last night, half-time, I get a message from the team.

Lucky's not feeling very well.

I'm like, oh, is that right? I bet he is. He's probably like eight beers in. He's like, oh, this looks like it's going to be a good second half. And suddenly he's not well. He's also a major fan of the F1. It was the Singapore Grand Prix. Put that all together. No wonder he's not in today. He's feeling unwell. I's feeling unwell. Yeah, the timing was very peculiar. Late Sunday night. Second half. I ended up watching a whole grand final last night. Oh, yes, wow. So exciting. It was incredible. Yeah. Did you watch Alex? I did. I watched every single scintillating, wonderful, beautiful moment. I felt really sorry for Storm. It was similar to the grandfinal last weekend where something happens at half time.

One coach, or I don't know, what happens where the second half is a completely different game.

Yeah, yeah.

So close.

Incredible game. It was the highest scoring first half ever in a grand final. Right. Yeah, 22 points to 12. First NRL grand final I've ever seen. And I was going to watch the first half and then go to bed because we were off last week. But it was too gripping. I stayed and watched the whole thing. And also I thought afterwards, the players of both teams spoke so well.

They did.

They did.
