TAYLOR Walker has been completely stitched up by Triple M.

The Adelaide Crows captain thought he was going to have his own moment with Killers lead singer Brandon Flowers, who famously invited Richmond skipper Jack Riewoldt on stage to sing Mr Brightside after last year’s AFL Grand Final.

Walker thought he was doing a prerecorded radio interview with the rock star but he was unknowingly speaking to The Chaser’s Andrew Hansen.

Hansen: “Sorry, what did you say your name was?”

Walker: “Tex Walker”

Hansen: “Tex Walker, seriously?

Walker: “Oh, my name’s Taylor, but they call me Tex, yeah. Sorry mate.”

Hansen: “It sounds like some kind of cowboy name from the Deep South, or something.”

Walker: “I’m a country boy. I’m originally from a little country town which is five and a half hours inland from Adelaide called Broken Hill, so ...”

Hansen: “OK. I don’t know if that’s too cool, to be called an American name in a country that’s not America, but OK.”

Walker: “We’ll run with it.”

Hansen: “OK, we’ll run with it. But it’s kind of a lame name.”

You could tell by the smirk on Walker’s face he was starting to wonder if Flowers was the biggest jerk on the planet or whether he was just having a bad day. The conversation then turned to the Crows’ 48-point defeat in the biggest game of their lives.

Hansen: “Yeah the football game last year ... I watched some of that game and I’ve got to say that the team that lost, they were terrible. They didn’t know what they were doing.”

Walker: “That was my team.”

Hansen: “Is that your team? Oh wow. You did badly, man. That was bad.”

Walker: “Thanks for reminding us.”

Hansen: “The only worse place I’ve been, then maybe Las Vegas, was Adelaide. That was kind of a dump of a place. I didn’t like that too much either.”

Hansen started going harder and harder as Walker looked outside of the studio for support.

Hansen: “I don’t have any respect for sports people really. Are you one? Because I thought I was going to talk to a media professional or something.

Walker: “I do a little bit of work here at Triple M, mate. And I’m still currently playing so we’ll have to change that perception for you mate.”

Hansen: “I was told I was going to be speaking to a big interviewer. So you’re just a footballer, is that right?”

Walker: “I play a bit of footy mate and do a bit of media on the side.”

Hansen: “Is this interview going to go on too much longer? Can you just hang on. I’m going to need to speak to my manager.”

Hansen then passed the phone to Chris Dittmar, who co-hosts Triple M’s breakfast show in Adelaide, and everything clicked for Walker.

Dittmar: “Hello, this is Brandon’s manager, Chris.”

Walker: “You’re a f***wit Chris Dittmar.”
