Welcome to the show three minutes past seven here in Tasmania and ten past, sorry, three past ten in London. We were a fine my man Tim Payne this morning in a very bright yellow hat. And before we get to why you're wearing that Tim, I came in in a panic this morning because I came in here and Hamish got to me straight away and said Tim has gone to the GP. And I thought goodness me, we're a man down again. But it was the wrong GP, Tim, we've just got back from Silverstone. I have, Brent Oak. It was a terrific day actually, myself, and Xavier Doherty, fellow Tasmanian who's over here with me. We're lucky enough to get our hands on some tickets, some pretty good ones too, I might add, and headed down on, well, we didn't head on the train, we headed back on the train this afternoon, we've just got in the door actually, but hang on, you don't know that hang on 30 this morning and got back at about 9.30. You did not catch the train. There's no way you would get on public transport Tim, no way. Can you believe that I had to catch a train? I had to use public transport, because I was nervous that I wasn't going to get back in time. The traffic, there was like 140 something thousand people there. And had we have gone in a car, we just wouldn't have made it. So where is it exactly? How far out of London? It's probably an hour, 50 minutes out of London, but I'm in Birmingham at the moment. So we probably took us about an hour and a half by car this morning to get down, and we didn't leave down there tonight until about 6pm. I was dead set, nervous that I wasn't going to be back here in time for 10 o'clock in a car. That is, I have never seen crowds traffic like that. That was extraordinary. You imagine now what the AFL Grand Finals like and put another 45,000 plus people on it. It was, it's the biggest event I've ever seen in my life. And honestly, it was gridlocked. Except, Brenna, they had the bus lanes. We made a executive decision to go a little bit, I think inland. We got some advice from a local who said you should get on a bus, get yourself to North Hampton, and then jump on a train. So we really didn't know what we were doing, but here we are. We made it back. Now I haven't seen the results. Had our man Oscar Piestra go. It was a bit stiff actually, Brenna. He started superbly. Lando Morris, his teammate was leading. He came right up on him. And just when that happened, they were one, two, it started to rain. So you had McLaren in one, two and Mercedes with George Wilson and Lewis Hamilton. Is it George Wilson? Three and four. And the rain hit. What they did was, Morris went in and changed his tires, and they kept Oscar out there. Then Mercedes, both their guys went in and changed. And he ended up basically on the wrong tires for about three laps. And they got too far ahead, but he drove brilliantly and was a bit unlucky. He was bit stitched up by I think being the second driver at McLaren. Lando got the preference first to get in and change his tires. And Mercedes, some reason did it at the same time. So it was a fascinating race. It was brilliant to be there. We're obviously not massive redheads here at SCN. Well, it was about to say too, you might have lost half our audience by now, but anyway, in terms of the spectacle and the race and the young Aussie guy, it was actually really, really exciting. And as I said, it was a great event to go and see for the first time. And yeah, you said you had some of the best seats there. So it would have cost you a small fortune. I'm sure. I would imagine the seats that we had, Brent, would have cost someone an absolute bucket load. I'm very, very, very lucky actually, Brent, as you know, my manager James Henderson's got some pretty good contacts. And he got me in touch with Mark Weber, who sold me out with a couple of tickets. So we weren't walking down pit lane saying hello to the drivers, but we were pretty, pretty close. And how did you choose the X factor to take along as you plus one? Was there a sort of a thought on for that extra ticket? X is, no. So the other Tazzy guy here is obviously Betty Dunk. And X is a massive F1 fan. And it was actually him about six weeks ago when we looked at the dates of when this tournament was on and said, oh, we've got a day off on the Sunday. If only do you reckon you could get us some tickets. And I said, yeah, probably could. I know some people who know some people and threw it out there and it came through. So we had, honestly, we had a hell of a day. It was absolutely incredible. Well, good on you. It's exciting. And good on you too, Tim. We gave you a very hard time on Friday's show and you bounce back under enormous pressure on Saturday, 34 runs off 21 balls, three catches a stumping. It was magnificent to see. And you also got us a shout out too on global television. Here's how it all played out. Top first game, got a first baller and he has a radio show back home in Australia. And his dismissal has been going viral with me commentary saying it's a long way to come for a globe. And there's Australian teammates here in Birmingham. Absolutely. The letting of now as well. Durk and Anna has came up with said, the boys are loving it. The mimicking. You had a bit of mimicking, Tim? Oh, I have been getting into you. He covered that all week. Oh, it's a long way to come for a globe. But now we bounce back the boys. We've had two wins on the trot. Brenna on. We're just building nicely for the back end of the tournament, actually. So you are. Yeah, keep going. Oh, do you mean? No, we've had a little bit of a change of tact. Actually, we we discussed early that maybe we don't want to play all the games. Maybe you don't want to make the semis and file. Maybe you want to just play that little bit. Well, why? Why wouldn't you want to make the semis and finals? Well, because you get paid a contract. It's not per game. So most people, it's better to it's better to work less than work more. Is it not? Tim, you're pulling on the green and gold of Australia. Yeah, well, you're representing the country. We're now into it. And we are feeling competitive. As you should be. It's got a hold of us, actually. It's getting a bit serious. Like, it's starting to warm up and folks are starting to do some run throughs. And we're clicking into gear a little bit. So, it's going to be very, very interesting. I think what really happened was Brenna, Pakistan, guys, and all this a little bit because I feel like they might have had like a three or four month training program before coming over here. And we were a bit sort of hit and giggle when they smacked us in the first game. And they embarrassed us a little bit. And so we decided we're just going to up our intensity a little bit for the next four or five games and just see where we land. I see. OK. Well, we may have heard a rumor that there might be a bit of prize money on office. So that's also helped a few of the fast bowlers get off the long run. My mail is you got some sort of rev up, Tim, from the team management. And this is the the league. I've been given. Listen to this. I'm angry to be fair. We've got to be perfectly on a skews language. Okay, from hammer. I didn't want that. Well done, Hammer. Well done, Hammer. owners have been very supportive, very supportive. I think we've had to can he likes a team meeting now. And that was one of our rules. We didn't want to have too many team meetings. So we've managed to swap it for instead of the pregame meeting is happy to sacrifice that as long as we have a post game party. So most of the boys have been pretty happy with that. And we've so far delivered on that promise to him. So luckily we had a nice day off this morning. All of the guys, I think it might have been spent in bed after a big wing against our famous foe, the English ring, which was three. That's right. It was good to see. Good to see. Yeah. Now early text in here on the hardcore. It's open line. If you'd like to get involved with the show, you can text us on 0437 555 2535 or even give us a call 1342 1533. Harcourt's more than just real estate professionals. It's from David Tim. Would you believe it says one? I don't know which one has Tim been prepaid for this tournament looking at the crowds outside. If Pakistan, India, more of a club cricket game outside of Pakistan and India, there's more to club cricket game TV rights must be huge to pay those pay packets involved. What's your response to that text? I think both the crowds, the crowds we've played in front of been pretty good to be fair. But yeah, I don't think there's any secret that most sports these days are paid by TV deals and and cricket is clearly a huge deal in India and they will take any cricket product over none clearly because they seem to enjoy watching our cricket, which has been very fascinating. But now I think there'll be a decent crowd tomorrow of actually playing against India tomorrow up at Northampton. So back to where I was today on the train, Brent, actually. So I can basically say to the bus driver, we don't need you in the morning. I'll show the lads where we're going. By the way, when we were coming back on the trains, we were saying talking myself and saying, wouldn't this be great to run from one end of Tazzy to the other? Express train. The train was so comfortable. You didn't even couldn't hear it. There was no bumps. It was just like you're sitting in your lounge room. You had a little table. You could have your food or play cards or anything. It was fantastic. Just shot up from London to Birmingham in 50 minutes. Yeah. Imagine that our beautiful new stadium with the Tazzy timber and the lovely plastic roof that's clear and 50 metres high, Brent, over Evan Street there, which is going to go down a tree. Imagine just a little train by pulling up the other side of it, and you can come down for the two o'clock start from one system up the coast, then you can get back on the train at six o'clock, shoot back up in an hour and a half. Wouldn't that be amazing? They'll be magnificent. Absolutely. No doubt about it. Hey, before we go to our first break, how has the reception been for your good self over there in the UK? Because you're fair to say, it's so far so good. Yeah, no. Look, to be honest, Brent, nothing's changed. They still definitely hate my guts. So, I'm amazed we'll just keep going. Well, I don't know. It's annoying because I only say what I think. And I'm only talking about cricket. And I think my comment was fair. They're coming last in the World Test Championship. That makes you a below average cricket team. And at least what it is. No, honesty is the best policy, Tim, as they say. Hey, a normal show on the way today. He has this for a one, two punch, and someone described it to me overnight. Scott Roth, Tasmania, Jack Jumper's coach live from the United States. Wasn't it magnificent watching Jack McVane? We'll magnate picked up with the boomers yesterday. Officially, of course. And a man that has guided them beautifully is the head coach of the Jack Jumper's. And he'll join us later on this hour. McCurry points and beats. The CEO will join us as well after a big day. You alluded to the the renders being released yesterday, Tim, looking forward to having Anne in the studio to talk all about that. Mattie Reed from Taz Racing around the States coming up shortly and questions without notice as well. But as always, we'd love you involved with the show. Get us on the hardcore it's open line more than just real estate professionals, the hard courts, of course. Oh, four, three, seven, double five, two, five, three, five. Breakfast powered by Kubota.
