This week Brian and Harrison kick things off with some footy chat;
they chat about the weather delay at the Pies vs Dees game, the
finals picture as it stands, the launch of the AFLW season and
plenty more. Away from football, they cover off; BT's wrap of the
TV Week Logies, what goes on for his week off, and they get to some
mailbag submissions. Later, the boys are joined by 4x Paralympian
Ahmed Kelly. Ahmed's story is one of the more incredible tales of
inspiration and resilience that you'll ever encounter, he was
born with severely underdeveloped arms and legs (not uncommon in
countries torn by chemical warfare). After his birth, he was
abandoned at an orphanage in Bagdad, Iraq, and following several
years of living in that orphanage, he met his now mother,
humanitarian Moria Kelly. Moria brought Ahmed to Australia for
major life altering surgery, and not after long, ended up adopting
Ahmed. Fast forward, he is now a 4x Paralympic swimmer, collecting
a Paralympic Silver Medal in 2020, World Championship Gold and
Silver Medals (23' & 19' respectively) and a true beacon of
inspiration. What sticks out most about Ahmed is his unwavering
positivity and outlook on life, he has never used his disability as
a disadvantage and approaches all things with a massive smile.
Brian and Harrison have a long-standing connection with Ahmed
having grown up in the Kilmore area and attending Assumption
College together. This episode is brought to you by: Taubmans
