Show Notes
Before we start, can I just say, DO NOT TRY THIS ON PUBLIC ROADS or any road for that matter. This entire race was done under the supervision of several professionals and highly controlled conditions. Don’t try this at home. Over the last couple of months, you might be aware that Charlie has been taunting Phil Lammattina about being a less than adequate driver, “Phil Schmill…” “I feel like your a bit chicken Phil” “First loser…” So after much planning, Phil booked Mildura’s Sunset Strip for a Thursday afternoon, to which Charlie immediately withdrew from the race… To find out exactly what happened, you’ll have to listen. Thanks to Charlie for being too chicken to put his money where his mouth is and letting me race, thanks to Phil for being a good sport and organising the track, thanks to Ben and Pioneer Ford for letting us race and supporting the silly ideas we keep having, thanks to Kingsley and Lauren from the Mildura Drag Racing Club and their children for facilitating the day, and thanks to the stand-in Stig, fully kitted out in Nonno’s race suit, genuinely purchased in Italy in the 90’s! A reminder: don’t do any of the things you heard on this podcast at home or on the road, it was a highly controlled environment supervised by professionals If you've listened to and like this podcast, please give it a 5 star review, or even better, help us keep it going by making a small financial donation each month.

THIS PODCAST WAS RECORDED ON TUESDAY 6TH DECEMBER - BEFORE FURTHER ROAD CLOSURES OCCURRED ON WEDNESDAY. A further update will occur in the coming days.
It's been a while between podcasts, but given there's potentially a flood emergency on our hands and this is a community service, it seemed like a good idea to get Senior Sarge Longy in for a chat about floods and common sense.
Just a quick debrief and catch up with Mildura Rural City Council Mayor Liam Wood. These chat's are always pretty relaxed and casual which I think is important so we can inform people on Council processes, opportunities and issues without the obstacle of formal language. I know being approachable is as important to Mayor Wood as it is to me and these chats are exactly that. Easy, approachable real time conversations.
It's all about the Jesse's and the sport this week... still. Jesse Medina was a main event fight at the Demolition event a few weeks ago and things didn't go his way but in this episode we really get into the sports psychology and figure out why. He's also looking for another fight before the end of the year before he goes looking for a rematch so watch this space. The other Jesse this week is Jesse Zaffina who has my full admiration. This young man is becoming an Ambulance Community Officer so we chat about that and why he didn't end up in the Army like he'd planned after year 12. Then we get to Seamus who has escaped the first round of delisting's before trade period despite only playing less than half the season. We're hoping for the best for your Seamo.
With the SFNL Grand Final tomorrow we thought it only proper to have Donny in to talk about Under 16's and Tina Zappia in to talk about the under 13's. Jane & Pete Aikman called in to talk about B grade netball, tennis and the crops.
