Brendan Fevola says he’s grateful to have the best job in the world

Brendan Fevola has reflected on life’s ups and downs, saying he now has the best job in the world.

Brendan Fevola has reflected with pride on his achievements in work and life since landing “the best job in the world”.

Former AFL star Fevola says he used to get home at 3am but has loved waking up at that time each morning for breakfast radio for the past six years.

“The thing is you wake up at 3-3.30 every morning and I used to get home then but it’s a great job, great people, best job in the world,’’ Fevola said.

“The last ratings we had the most listeners out of any FM station in Melbourne.

“I remember Eddie (McGuire) saying something about his son, when he started he was in prep and he just finished year 12. So that’s incredible when you think about it that he’s done 11 years, his whole school life he was doing breakfast radio.”

Fevola said he’s looking forward to working again with Fifi Box, and new recruit Nick Cody, who is replacing Byron Cooke on FOX FM next year.

“I knew Nick a bit, but obviously when we did some trials he stood out,’’ said Fevola who stepped out with Alex at the Yugo Melbourne reopening.

“He’s funny, very good. Obviously being behind the mic in Brisbane it came naturally to him. He’s a Melbourne boy, from Hoppers Crossing, so he’ll fit in well.”

Fevola said he was looking forward to spending time down the Mornington Peninsula over the Christmas break.

“I’m looking forward to it, we’ve been in lockdown for so long, I just want to get out of the house and I just want to spend the time off with the kids.”
