Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Bad for Fay run Rough. Welcome to the field. My
name is JJ. Now the NFL season is complete. The

(00:25):
Philadelphia Eagles are champions. The Kansas City Chiefs, no chief Pete,
no comprende on the three peat. Congrats to the Eagles.
But I'm not here to talk about the super Bowl
or the draft, or the off season, or next season
or last season. I'm here to talk about a super
duper exciting thing that will be happening with the field

(00:49):
next week. Now, the field has been for a long
time called the field with JJ and Danger. Now Danger
participated for a little while, then he didn't, So now
it's just a field with JJ. But next week it

(01:10):
is going to be renamed for one week only a special.
Next week, I'm gonna have a co host with the
most a superstar, a global megastar. This is who's joining
the pod. Announcer Jakes is here, is green as past.

(01:32):
It's Gronkowski back again, the biggest tandem for touchdowns now
in postseason history, the old Patriot teammates Robert James Gronkowski.
How good Robert James Gronkowski aka Gronk is joining me

(01:55):
on the field on the weekend. I'm gonna chat to him.
Coulfield Race Course is being brought down to Australia by
sports Bet for the races, and they've been kind enough
to give me fifteen minutes with the great Man. So
I cannot wait. I've been riding, rewriting, rechecking, fact checking,

(02:16):
stat checking, and then starting all over again. When it
comes to the fifteen minutes of questions, I'm going to
sink into the great Man, but I cannot wait. He's
a superstar. We have crossed paths before, so I'm fascinated
to see whether he remembers he recalls he's three months

(02:37):
younger than me, the Great Man with the same height.
He's a fair bit heavier, and he's done a fair
bit more. But I cannot wait to speak to him.
You know the drill, former Patriot, former buccaneer, four time
Super Bowl Champion, comeback Player of the Year, He's a
four time All Pro first teamer. You've got a handful

(03:00):
of Pro Bowls. He's done it all, NFL records, he
has done everything when it comes to performing at the
highest level in the NFL. Still in the conversation as
the greatest tight end in NFL history. So I cannot wait.
I'm excited, I'm pumped up, I'm jacked up. I am

(03:23):
fired up to speak to Gronk on the weekend. So
I just wanted to get that out there, short, sharp
and shiny. I'll be chatting to Rob Gronkowski on the
weekend and he will be my co host on the
field next week, you're with. Aside from that fantastic news,

(03:46):
of course, the AFL season is really fast tracking itself.
It is starting to rumble toward us. I was down
at GMHBA Stadium having a bit of a look at
the Cats and the Hawks have caught some of the
Dogs and the Bombers on the KO some of Richmond
and West Coast. Some injuries starting to arise. Charlie Kurno's

(04:08):
got a niggle in the knee, has had minor surgery.
Tom Green's got a significant calf injury. That's no good.
The number one pick is already in the concussion protocol.
So things are starting to happen in the AFL landscapes.
Things are starting to get real where we'll see a

(04:28):
batch of games live on Fox Footy with the preseason
games not too far away, so looking forward to all
of that, Looking forward to digging deep and diving deeply
into the season. As well. As we start to fire
this bad boy up, of course the YouTube channel will
be fired back up. I've got a really exciting, I

(04:50):
think concept on the way All Australian Survivor. Let me
know what you think about it. So here's the concept,
All Australian Survivor. So I start the season pre round zero,
pre opening round with an All Australian twenty two. I'm
not picking this up, that's nonsense, an All Australian twenty two.

(05:12):
Now here's the catch. Each week I have to make
a minimum of one move, one in, one out a
maximum of four. And here's the real kicker. When a
player is omitted or dropped or dismissed, that player cannot

(05:35):
be recalled. So once the player has been dropped from
the All Australian Survivor team, he cannot be recalled. That
is the kicker. And as I said, a maximum of
four picks. So I can't just get to round twenty
three and decide to make a dozen changes and fix
the team. So one change every week minimum for the maximum,

(05:58):
and once you get dropped you can come back. I'll
be dropping that on the YouTube channel each and every week,
So make sure you jump on YouTube and search for
the Field with JJ and Danger. Plenty of subscribers on
there are plenty of people catching some of the old
content and I can't wait to fire up the new
content let of course, led of course by my chit

(06:20):
chat with the Great Rob Gronkowski. So that's an update
on where things are right. Very excited to chat to Gronk,
Very very excited for the AFL season to get moving,
to get started, to get going. And we've got another announcement,
another exciting venture when it comes to podcasting and when
it comes to TV and getting involved in that space
as well in the coming days slash weeks. So that's

(06:43):
it for me. Appreciate you listening. Six and a half minutes,
seven minutes. Hopefully I've kept your attention. Gronk the Field
with JJ and not Danger. It's Gronk this time next week,
