So Dennis had done the program in about 2014, and I think they found a serial murderer or something in his background, but something like that he told me, but he might have been pulling my leg.
Anyway, I...
I delved in and, look, nothing incredibly embarrassing in that regard, but, look, a lot of things that I had no idea about.
And, you know, just the resilience and the strength of your ancestors, both my father and mother's side, and it would be for all of us, I know, and the conditions they lived under.
You know, you wonder, guys, you know, what their dreams were and how they went about it and what they were trying to do for their kids and what sort of life they were going to make.
And then tragedy hits, you know, both sides of the family.
Little ones die or older ones die.
And there was a stage, guys, where I realized that if this thing hadn't happened, I wouldn't be here today because, you know, it was just fate.
So, yeah, look, I'm so much the richer, I think, for having experience.
And it did bring me very close to my past parents.
I mean, I do miss them.
God, I wish they were sitting alongside me tonight, guys.
I really do.
Because my mother could talk.
And I thought she would have absolutely loved finding out all this stuff that I now know.
I wish I could tell her.
It felt so significant, JB, and also Billy.
It just felt such a huge day for me.
Not just, you know, Dennis and his family and V and Ricky and the Beast, but for the whole of Western Australia, but also for all of us as sports commentators.
You know, we're all in the same business, so to speak.
