Howie

But congratulations on being a slider in the big threes on Monday.

Well done.

Thank you.

Congratulations.

Bec rang me about three weeks ago when Neil was still with us.

And I mentioned it to Chief on the broadcast last night.

I had a missed call from her and I rang her back and thought, oh, she wants me to host a function.

So I had no thought that she was going to ask me to go down the slide.

So congratulations.

A little bit overwhelming after Neil's passed since then, and even more overwhelming because when I went home and told my kids, Nath, I have a 16-year-old daughter and a 14-year-old son, and they go to school in Geelong.

Big chicken.

They said, yes, they said to me, Dad, whatever you do, don't embarrass us.

Well, there's a bit of pressure on.

You're off to a poor start.

Why is that?

Because why...

Did you elect to have your top off in the promotional photo standing in the water?

Now, you can tell that it's a footy-type photo because you've got red knuckles.

That means that you're trying to push your biceps out as far as they possibly can.

And the text you sent me this morning, you didn't get this from me.
