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.
