The silly season is already well in force in Formula One.

And, you know, we're not even at the halfway point of the season.

It is the Whiteley show, isn't it?

Today of all days, it's probably the relationship we had with Neil Danaher and we've got some

some great interviews in the library while he was able to speak.

And you saw a couple of weeks ago when we lost Neil that we played a big chunk of his interviews across time and the gradual decline of him.

But, gee, there was no sharper mind in footy.

There was no sharper wit to go head-to-head with Robbo.

We've got some gold in the library that we'll have forever with those nights with Neil Danaher.

When he was just launching Big Freeze and he was talking about having –

a meat pie raffle or a chook raffle or something and it got big on him and they started making beanies and you know now it is what it is and it's you know probably going to hit about 150 million dollars raised by the end of today which is phenomenal so I mean probably our relationship with Neil was is a high point and there was an interview with James Heard that was nominated for a Walkley award that was

Pretty testy.

And, you know, it was Gerard at his absolute best and James Heard probably not as prepped as he might have been if he knew it was coming.

So, yeah, I mean, there's 1,500 shows.

That's a lot of nights for a lot of live television, Whitey.

But, yeah, we go again tonight.

Craig McRae and Stephen King are our special guests tonight, if I can give it a plug, straight after the footy.

We're live from...

The Betty Cuthbert studio up in the second level of the Olympic Centre at MCG and Sly and Kingy will come up to join us after their press conference and their official duties are finished downstairs.

They'll come up to join us.
