Crows skipper Tex Walker thought he was interviewing The Killers' lead singer Brandon Flowers on Adelaide's Triple M radio, but he had another thing coming.
Walker was actually being interviewed by comedian Andrew Hansen from The Chaser pretending to be the rock star by putting on an American accent.
Hansen does not hold back at all, instantly mocking the nickname 'Tex' at the start of their conversation and bashing the Crows' 2017 grand final performance.
Triple M breakfast co-host Chris Dittmar concludes the prank as 'Flowers' manager', much to Walker's tongue-in-cheek discontent.
Transcript of Triple M's Tex Walker prank
Flowers Impersonator: โSorry, what did you say your name was?โ
Taylor Walker: โTex Walkerโ
FI: โTex Walker, seriously?
TW: โOh, my nameโs Taylor, but they call me Tex, yeah. Sorry mate.โ
FI: โIt sounds like some kind of cowboy name from the Deep South, or something.โ
TW: โIโm a country boy. Iโm originally from a little country town which is five and a half hours inland from Adelaide called Broken Hill, so ...โ
FI: โOK. I donโt know if thatโs too cool, to be called an American name in a country thatโs not America, but OK.โ
TW: โWeโll run with it.โ
FI: โOK, weโll run with it. But itโs kind of a lame name, but alright.โ
FI: โYeah the football game last year ... I watched some of that game and Iโve got to say that the team that lost, they were terrible. They didnโt know what they were doing.โ
TW: โThat was my team.โ
FI: โIs that your team? Oh wow. You did badly, man. That was bad.โ
TW: โThanks for reminding us.โ
FI: โThe only worse place Iโve probably been, than Las Vegas, was maybe Adelaide. That was kind of a dump of a place. I didnโt like that too much either.โ
FI: โI donโt got any respect for sports people really. Are you one? Because I thought I was going to talk to a media professional or something.
TW: โI do a little bit of work here at Triple M, mate, and Iโm still currently playing so weโll have to change that perception for you mate.โ
FI: โI was kind of told I was going to be speaking to a big interviewer or something. So youโre just a footballer, is that right?โ
TW: โI play a bit of footy mate and do a bit of media on the side.โ
FI: โIs this interview going to go on too much longer? Wait a minute, could you just wait a moment. Iโm going to need to speak to my manager for just one moment. Steve, can you come to the phone?โ
Dittmar: โHello, this is Brandonโs manager, Chris.โ
TW: โChris Dittmar. Iโm going to get you back. Youโre a f---wit Chris Dittmar.โ
