2020 may go down in history as the year of the global pandemic but it'll also be known, locally, for something even more unthinkable - the year that Powderfinger reunited.

As the Brisbane rock legends prepare to play their online special One Night Lonely on YouTube on Saturday night, The Big Breakfast with Marto, Margaux and Nick Cody has been celebrating all things Powderfinger.

But the team struck gold when they put a call out asking for the best, weirdest or most random connections anyone had had to the band.

And boy did Dawn from Carina come through with the goods; Dawn worked at Centrelink in the early '90s and had a brilliant story about Bernard Fanning's job-dodging tactics!

Listen below:

Dawn's behind-the-scenes glimpse at Powderfinger wasn't the only exclusive Triple M landed this morning, either.

Bass guitarist John "JC" Collins joined The Big Breakfast to reveal why the band had decided now was the time to perform again, admitting that they had agreed 10 years ago to only reunite under one condition.

Hear the full chat below:
