3AW Breakfast with Ross and Russel — AFL reveals full Grand Final entertainment lineup. Machine-transcribed; use the interactive transcript above to jump the player to any line.
Dave Roberts here. There you are surrounded by fans, sharing wings, sharing drinks, high-fiving random strangers. Everybody remembers the game. Nobody remembers the guy coughing behind you until a few days later. At 2 a.m., you wake up with the fever and your throats on fire. Now what? Urgent care? Close. ER? Slam. Telehealth? Maybe. But the pharmacy's close. You needed a medical emergency kit. These aren't first aid kits. They contain essential prescriptions used for over 30 common conditions. Sinus and ear infection, UTIs, stomach bug, travelers diarrhea, and more. On hand before you need them. Use your doctor-developed guidebook to select the right prescription or call their telemedicine doctor standing by. It's like an urgent care and drug store at home. When you're sick, traveling, or stranded, you'll wish you ordered a medical emergency kit.

Now moving on, a lineup of Aussie stars will join Pop Princess, Carly Manot, for the pregame AFL Grand Final in a time. We're looking forward to this. Beck Hugsmer, executive general manager, customer, and commercial at the AFL. Has joined us. Good morning to you, Beck. Good morning, guys. How are you? Yeah, well, okay. Can you run through these extra talents for us, please? Yeah, sure. We've got a really great lineup this year. Obviously with Carly, who will be belting at her hits. Can't wait for that. But we've got G-Flip actually opening up the day with the opening set, kicking us all off, which will be fantastic. G-Flip's had an amazing year. They've been all over the US and the world playing and a huge career moment for them this year. So can't wait for that energy that G-Flip will bring to that opening set. Michael Painter is going to be singing the National Anthem for us. Michael Painter is an extraordinary musician and vocalist.
I saw him earlier this year, maybe last year, and Jesus Christ Superstar was incredible. And he's going to be doing John Farnham's The Musical Theatre Show. And then Mike Brady, of course, coming back to join us as well, which is incredible. Well done, Beck. So, NFL on Friday, did you have your notebook out? Were you taking notes on what you think you might like to adopt? I'm not saying for you know, in two weeks' time. But in the future? I think it was a super entertaining show, wasn't it? There was, like, you just didn't know where to look. There was things going on over. DJ, Jonas Brothers, cheerleaders. We do a lot of great stuff at the AFL. And I think we saw a lot of the crowd singing along. And I think that's what we love about Gold Stings at the moment too. That that's the thing that happens after a goal is incredible. So, I think we learned that all these love to sing an anthem, any anthem. And I love the, I love the Marriotti band as well. I've done it with that. That's going to play a role at some point, but I absolutely love them. I tell you what, the room of files been telling us that these are in Brazil is going to get around.
Is that true? I can't confirm or deny what will happen on Grand Final Day. Oh, God. Who determines what Kylie sings, Beck? We work really closely with Kylie and her team and also with Mushroom, who put an amazing production on for us. So, we collaborate on what we think will work really well for the audience there and for everyone who loves the artist at home. So, it's going to be a big set of songs. And Beck, you know, the three AW listeners, the NFL, I think that that provided evidence that a day, you know, light, light, the day can work. And so, perhaps, you know, once them for all the argument about a night grand final can be put to bed. Perhaps. I think I think we've done it really well for a, for years. Like, how great was Snoop Dogg last year, how great was Robby, how great was Katie and Kylie's going to be take us another step further ahead. Get on your back. Good on your back. Much appreciated. I heard you guys talking about the night
grand final. Yeah. Would mind just sing a Twilight. I like Twilight. Well, in fact, this weekend. I mean, I'm with you both no night grand final. We don't want it. The Twilight grand final. I'm interested to see. Well, so what time is the kickoff on Saturday, Hawthorne, Brisbane? I think it's like five, 15, five, 15. Yep. Let's see what that's like. I don't mind that thought. Dave Roberts here. There you are surrounded by fans, sharing wings, sharing drinks, high-fiving random strangers. Everybody remembers the game.
