When he's coming on the hard courts, open line hard courts, more than just real estate professionals, Julian is text in, he says expect Magna and McVey to be in, yeah, I agree. I think, and he thinks we'll have a new Aussie skipper as well. He thinks we'll have a new captain. I think Patty's been, well, I don't know, I would have thought Patty would have been it, but he's saying a new captain, maybe Jock, I don't know, I'm not sure. And a few other texts in here, Tim as well, one here from Matt and Lina Valley, who's a regular text to hear on SCN Tassie Breakfast. Hi Brent, for those that missed at the WCL game, Osvie, Pakistan is on replay in five minutes on Fox 501 cold morning. So settle in to watch Tim Bat, cheers from Matt. And he's also come back with Osvie, South Africa is on live. I don't think it's live, but it's on at 355 tomorrow afternoon, so that must be a replay, because what's that? That's more than... Oh, maybe... I don't know, we'll have to check that. With that add up, Thomas. Do you even know what Tommy has to be at the ground, mate? No, all I know is I got a message about half an hour ago in the Aussie champion saying this is from one of our many team managers. Armadeep, Armadeep S. Rean, who said hi team, we would like to have a team meeting tomorrow at 9.30am in the meeting room. Request that you all be there, please. Thank you, Armadeep. What are we talking about now? It's 10 past 11 at night. Oh, no wonder you're rubbing your eyes. You must be absolutely fine. It's 10.30pm tomorrow morning, I think we'll be getting a bit of a rinsing from the ownership. I'm happy with this. Another text in here. Morning lads, I've sent my foxtail to record the SAVOs game, so I can watch Tim in the first game. Wait for it, Tim. Wait for it. In the first game, I went to get a drink from my fridge while he was walking out to bat, but Thomas got back to my couch. He was already on his way back to the pavilion. Cheers, flash from La Trobe. I had some live flash because it didn't walk out to bat. I ran out. Absolutely sprinted out. Maybe that was my problem. I was tired. Now, have you been to vote to, by the way, to the elections on over there, isn't it? There's a bit happening, though. It was very busy outside today, obviously, with the election on and voting open from 8.30 this morning. So, there's people everywhere, Brenna. I always thought it was, they were just here to see the world championship of legends, but it turns out that they vote over here on Thursday. First day, I think that was Brenna. We're going to get to our guest, Brody Nunn, who's waiting patiently on the line. But before we do, who's had the better week, do you think? You or Joe Biden? Yeah, probably even at this stage. But do you know what, though? I look at it like this. I was saying to the boys who were teasing me a little bit yesterday about my dark Brenna. I feel like I'm on the younger age bracket that's over here. I think my tournament is going to go like this. That's up points for those. I can't see you right now. And I think Big Joey's is sort of slowly trending down. So, I like to think that I'm going to trend up. But who knows? Tomorrow morning, I'll probably get knocked over by Vernon Philander or someone like that. I can't see too many wins coming at this stage. Pressure's on. How are we going to get to our guests? He's the latest and last retired players. His next guest is our latest Jack Jambertim. He's come on as a development player. It is Brody Nunn, who's been good enough to join us here on SCN. Tazzy breakfast. Nice to talk to you, Brody. Hey, guys. How are you going? Yeah, good. Thank you, mate. Thanks for waiting patiently there. But how exciting is this year? You're on an MBL roster and a member of the Jack Jambers. How excited about you to receive this opportunity? Yeah, I'm super excited to join the MBL champions and heading down there soon. Brody, how did this come about, mate? Who from the Jack Jambers reached out? And when did it all start? When did they get in touch with you? It was probably three weeks ago. I had a good weekend in the MBL one. And Micko Verkona contacted me, just called me saying they're interested in offer me a development spot. And I had a Zoom call with the coaches the next day, and that's it. Mate, these DP spots, they're quite lucrative now, and we've seen with Sean McDonald, I guess, coming on as a DP here in our first season and the path he's gone, the trajectory, I suppose. You must be hoping to follow a similar path to Sean and try and really cement some minutes over the next few years. Yeah, definitely. The Jack Jambers development program is one of the best. You can see that with Sean McDonald, so I'm excited to hopefully follow his footsteps in a minute. Mate, can you talk us through the call with the Jack Jambers coaching staff, who sort of ran that? Was that Scott and what did they share with you about the program and their plans for you? Yeah, that was Scott. He basically went over the daily routine for the Jack Jambers, and then my role on the team. And yeah, it had to earn minutes and things of that nature. Well, that's a good thing about Scott, mate, is that he treats everyone at the same level, no matter if you're DP or whatever you are. If you're Milton Doyle or you're Jordan Crawford, everyone starts from the same base. So if you do the work, you can get the time on court, so that must be really exciting for you as well to have that in the back of your mind. Yeah, exactly. He mentioned that everyone has to do the right thing. He doesn't have a favourite. Whether it's Milton Doyle or me, you just have to do the right thing and put the work in. Yeah, well, that is a lie. Brent's one of his favourites. Don't worry about that, he loves Brent. Mate, but just for Jack Jambers fans, who may not have seen you, how would you describe yourself as a player and what can we look forward to seeing from you? A three-point shooter, point guard, good on-ball screens, good passer, good ball, hang on. Brody nuns, our guest, John Essie, and Tezi Breakfast. He's our latest Jack Jambers coming on as a development player. Do you know many of the guys in the team personally, Brody, or are they going to be all sort of new to you when you're off here for pre-season? Yeah, they're all going to be newer. I don't know any of them, so a big sign to meet a new group of guys. And what about the Jack Jambers organisation made of you? Have you heard much about it or have players around the MBL1, do they talk about the culture and speak glowingly about the Jack Jambers and what they've been able to do down here? Yeah, definitely. One thing that's always mentioned is that they're for number one defensive team over the last few years. So that would be good for me to help about my defensive game. What about Tezi as a placement? I'm sure you've been down here to play some MBL1 before, but are you excited about the prospect of moving here as a place? Because we hear about AFL players and maybe they won't want to move here, et cetera. But are you excited about the prospect of moving to Tezi? Yeah, definitely. I've never actually been to Tezi. This is my first MBL1 season and we didn't head down there this year, but yeah, I'm super excited to move to Hobart. Yeah, it's a new city point. Mate, one of the cities you've spent a bit of time in is Seattle playing for the Seattle University. What was your experience like playing college basketball and how has it helped you grow your game? Yeah, it was good. The game style was a lot different there. A lot quicker than what I was used to coming from high school. And yeah, I didn't play much there, so for the first two and a half years, and then I decided to come back and saw an opportunity to play the MBL1 and try to earn that development spot. Before we let you go, mate, what's it look like? When do you move down here to Tasmania and how soon we'll be able to see you here in person? I think I moved down early August or late July, and yeah, we're going back and forth this year, still in the final third MBL1. Brilliant. Well, we can't wait to see you here later on this month. Hopefully, and we'll get you in the studio from another chat, but appreciate your time here on SCN, Tassie Breakfast this morning, and good luck as you become a Jack Jumper. Thank you. I appreciate it. Brody Nunn joining us here on SCN, Tassie Breakfast. Brody, yeah, well, because we're getting a bit of a wind up there, but when you went on to the next question, when we get these guys on that have been to the university, the college set up in America, I want to talk about that. I love that something is an Australian sportsman, you would love to do. I imagine in the sports AFL cricket, our main sports, you don't get the opportunity to do that. And I wonder what it's like, take us inside a day of a university student who's over there on a scholarship playing sport at that age and how well those teams are followed and supported. It just looks like an amazing experience. Absolutely. Maybe we'll see it in cricket one day, Tim, with the cricket going game, it's taking off. It's taking off, so you never know, you never know. That's breakfast, isn't it? The MLC. Yeah, it wouldn't be far away. No, you're going there after? Oh, look. Oh, I don't know. He's puddled back over there. I'll go over his time. Yeah. Well, actually, yeah, pun is going, where's he going? Washington freedom? And they've got, well, Steve Smith's their captain, Glenn Maxwell's there, Travis heads there and Ricky Pawnings there. So I think they'll be most Australian supported team, but you might be right, Brendan. Maybe one day there'll be a cricketer out of Tazzy who goes on the scholarship to the Seattle University. You never know. You never know. It's breakfast powered by Kubota. Take on any job with Kubota's range of tractors, males and utility vehicles. Make sure you get us on the Harcourt's open line.
