How did Bharat feel about attending the Brownlow Medal in a black‑tie suit?
Uh this is a great meet Rabbit from Docklands. How much did it hurt Barat having to go to the Brownlow in black tie rather than his usual colourful self? Must admit it didn't look right. Seeing him on the telecast in black and white. I'm not sure that he was in black and white. Barat Sandra Eason is with me for Alex Scott and staff to sell your livestock or sell your home. Hello, Barat! Hello Jared. I certainly
was not in black and white. I was more in white and black. Uh and uh with a dash of pink as well. So it was so good to see you at the brown low, just relaxed uh to start with. And look, I I gave them all I had at the Hall of Fame, Jared. I went all traditional, but I couldn't do it. Not do it. I can't I couldn't do it at the brown low and I'm just I'm just testing the waters.
What simple changes does Bharat suggest to make the Brownlow Night more engaging for casual fans?
We'll uh we'll see. I'll be in a Ric Flair robe before you know it. What did you make of your first brown low? Uh, it was good fun, J I mean they're long nights aren't there. But um, you know, I was on a great table with uh uh sat next to Tom Harley and um you know me I was just giving some ideas as to how they could spruce up the Brown Law for next year. Well, I don't know whether that means I'll be invited again, but it was it it was really good fun. I mean what a great atmosphere. The Hall of Fame was different and special in a different way because he's had I got to hear all these great stories and you know, we're all about storytelling Jer but uh this is great. I mean the players to have have their night out and uh
Well, uh it felt a bit like Cody Rhodes finishing his story at WrestleMania, Nick Dekos in the end, after what, three or s two consecutive years where it felt like he was gonna get over the line and he finally finished his story, Jared. And what a great speech it was at the end.
What give us one of your suggestions to spruce off the brown line?
I it's something simple. I don't like the whole initial bit of N Day Course and you know, A M Bontempelli. I just said I I told Tom, like just let's start with that.
Where will Bharat watch the AFL Grand Final while he’s away, and what’s his favourite food for the occasion?
Like let's just start using full names. It just makes it more personal. And also I I always look at these things through the eyes of someone who's new to it or a just a casual foodie fan. Use my cousin as a great example. And I think I I wonder if we can spruce it up In a way where even if it's just different voice, I know there's a lot of tradition attached to it, Jared, so I'm g I'm gonna get buttered on the text line. But just add a bit of Um you know there's a lot of rasmatazz going around around the room. Just a little bit uh more fun uh as the night wears on. Um I mean Hamish McLaughlin does a great job, yes. Uh it just to make sure that even casual fans tuning in, even if the night is long, uh they're interested and they f they kind of get their heads around what's happening.
Where will you watch the grand final?
Uh I would love to have just stayed back in Melbourne, Jared, but uh as you know I'm heading to South Africa and then I'm home only for fifty-five nights for six months from that point on, so I couldn't justify staying back. So I stick with my tradition of watching it from my cousin's house. He makes this incredible South Indian meal. I even wrote about it last year.
Why was the India vs Japan T20 match considered one of the biggest upsets in cricket history?
Um and you know who I'll be barracking for. This is a baby face versus baby face grand final, Jared. So Either way, I think someone everyone will be happy, but my long haired brother in Perth, Alex Pierce, no, I'll be not very quietly, very loudly barracking for him. Uh and, you know, it'll be nice to see a m man with incredible long hair, uh there as a
premiership winning captain. The next time we speak, you'll be in South Africa, and then I'm not too far off joining you after that. Um did you see the India Japan T twenty overnight and the wide that wasn't? Like I know India I I th nothing surprises me with India when it comes to international cricket. I am not naive. But this did surprise me.
It just told you uh that uh they realized where how bad this night could go. I mean there was six for four was required to give some of our listeners some context.
