The Continuous Call Team – Full Show Saturday 27th July 2024 02:44:25

Now, live, right across Australia, the continuous Colt team. He's got support back on the inside. Tom Trum 10 and the Prince of... He scores the try. He scores the try.

He does a little post-tribe celebration. A bit of volleyball leading into the Olympic Games. Oh, manly. That's good. With Mark Levy, Daryl Broman, Paul Gallen and Alana Ferguson. Would you honestly have nachos over a nice, good, big, thick steak? Yes. Really? Yep, I love nachos. Dude, you are great.

Then they have to be my homemade nachos. Beautiful. You can't cook. Excuse me? Paul, if he can't cook, someone's doing a good job for him. Shane, I'm not the chef. I just own the place, you fool. Brisbane is sitting on the way home the next morning. Okay, I go up to the scanner. They said, have you got jatter in your bag? I said, yeah. They said, you need to take it out. You need to use it. You see?

So hang on. Live sport and laughter right across your weekend. As a group, we've been able to, after a win, just go out and have a couple of beers. So we just went back to the hotel and it was just good to sit around. But those boys don't seem to worry about it. Should have had a barbecue. LAUGHTER

Not funny, Paul. You could win your very own pair of nuggies, they're called. Virtually a pair of Ugg boots that look like some chicken nuggets. Can you not purchase them or need to just win them? No, you've just got to win them, I believe. We've got our own little pair, Daryl, so that's very nice. I've seen stuff from you. LAUGHTER

The Continuous Call Team. Thanks to Maccas, Harvey Norman, Ram Trucks, Ducks Hot Water, All.com, Brydon's Lawyers, Uber, Lowe's, 1-800-GOT-JUNK, Westpac and Coles. You know what I think is imperative when you have a prawn cocktail? You get the poop shoot out. No. Yes. Listen, it's a little bit of gristle and sandal. It's poop. You're eating poop. You're eating prawn.

You two need to harden up. You say you've got the poop chute in your prawn? No, we'll be removing it carefully because the chefs will be doing that. You're an idiot. Mate, you took a shot. Poop chutes up. You're a tough rugby league. So Leeby peels the prawn. He gets the prawn to his mouth and he goes, sucks the poop chute out. No, I don't suck the poop chute. You love the taste of the poop chute. I just eat the poop chute with the prawn. You're despicable. No wonder you can't get a shill every time you're going to kiss him. You smell like poop chute. The breast sticks smell like poop.

And now on 2GB Sydney, 4BC Brisbane and network stations across Australia, it's time for the Continuous Call Team.

Yes, thank you, Daryl. The teeth have been brushed and we're ready to rock and roll. Hello, everyone. Welcome along to another Saturday afternoon with the Continuous Call team. And such an exciting time to be an Australian and sporting fan with the Games of the 33rd Olympiad officially getting underway competition-wise tonight. We had the opening ceremony this morning that was covered by Ray, by Jane Fleming and Libby Trickett. And we'll have all of the action tonight based purely on Winds Australia's best performance this weekend.

on the opening day of competition is two gold medals that occurred at Sydney 2000, Athens 2004 and Rio in 2016. And just doing some homework in the last hour before we launch into some Olympic coverage later on tonight. That record could be broken tonight. So, stand by for plenty of gold medals, potential gold medals for the Australian Olympians tomorrow.

tonight in Paris. Of course, rugby league action, the NRLW competition is underway and we've got a match in action at the moment with Brisbane leading Parramatta by four points to nil with 12 minutes left in the first half, four nil to score, Brisbane leading Parramatta. While in the NRL match played last night, Melbourne Storm beat Parramatta 32 points to 14 and the Warriors beating the West Tigers by 28 points to 16.

In the three games this afternoon, Brisbane at home to the Bulldogs. No Stephen Crichton. He's out of the match for the Bulldogs. The Cowboys up against the Sharks in what's a big game in Townsville. And later on tonight at Allianz Stadium, the Roosters and the Manly Seagulls. And look, just before I welcome the team, I just wanted to acknowledge and say a huge thank you to all of our wonderful listeners over the last week or so who have...

inundated us with emails and messages of support following the passing of our dear friend David Morrow. If you can say it's the best funeral I've ever been to, it was. Davey's send-off on Thursday was just, it was uplifting. It was a great celebration of his life.

And I think the star of the show on the day was the 93-year-old priest who we'll have a listen to very shortly because we've put together a little montage of some of the speeches and eulogies that were made at Davey's funeral. A great turnout of rugby league legends, broadcasting icons, and a couple of those broadcasting icons will join us later.

as part of our Olympic coverage later on tonight. And we'll be broadcasting, as I announced on Thursday morning, from the David Morrow Olympic studio. So that's very, very special. Daryl Broman was one of the pallbearers on Thursday. He's alongside me in our McDonald's interactive studio for the Rugby League this afternoon. Big Man, good afternoon to you. Oh, Levi, good afternoon to you, Gal, Alana, all our listeners. Yeah, look...

I agree with you. I think as far as funerals go, that was as good as I've ever been to. It was uplifting. It was funny. It's probably exactly what David would have wanted, I would have thought, and the priest did an enormous job. He was just sensational, you know, and it was a fitting farewell to a great man, wasn't it? Yeah. Look, I do have a confession to make. I didn't watch the footy last night. What? I didn't watch either of the games.

I was committed to a street party where... I like the sound of this already. Well, clearly in a small street, there's only a few for a few big dogs, and I am the biggest of the dogs on the street. And they were waiting for me. Right. I will say this. We've got a number of kids in the street, like between, say, three and ten, right? And they did a show last night. It was sensational. They'd been...

They've been trying to choreograph it for about two months. They put a show on at about six o'clock just when it got dark with all the stuff that was lit and twinkling and all that sort of stuff. It was brilliant. And Alice Tudor is up from me who leads the charge. She's, I think, 11.

She's the boss of the Rat Pack. Right. So there's about probably five or six of them, but she's the boss. She did a phenomenal job last night. She wouldn't be listening to this, but she's a beautiful girl. And Mikey, who is a lunatic, a father, he's done a very good job with her. Jeez, it was a good night. But I do have to say I didn't watch any football. That's okay. Do you actually call the kids the Rat Pack? Is that what you call them, little rats? I call them Rat Bags. Rat Bags. Yes.

How do they attack you? Oh, they attack me. They come from all angles. As soon as I put my head out, one of them sees me and says, big man, and they just attack. They come from everywhere. Even the other day, they came inside. They came inside the house and walked through the house and ended up in the barley hut out the back. I said, are you...

are you blokes right? Well, they opened a couple of Canadian clubs, they would have known if they would have opened it, they'd known there was some there, but they didn't. But they're a tremendous group and little Al, I call her Al, she's a champion, she does a great job with them and as I say to her, I said, look Al, can you just keep them away from me for a while? Because I go to give them a high five and they headbutt me. Headbutt

my Neil McGraw. Oh, that's the best. That's great. Thank you, Big Mom. Well, I think we might delve into the street party and find out a little bit more about it shortly. Well, I did learn something last night that I, I'm 68. I've never heard of this thing, but I'll go through it a little bit later. Let's welcome the rest of the team. Paul Gallen is here, ladies and gentlemen. Gal, afternoon. Hey, guys. Good afternoon, Marcus, Big Mom. How you going? Alana. Hi,

Hello, everyone at home. Yeah, look, good week, good game last night. I thought Parramatta actually turned up and had a real go for Gutho when he was trying to win the game, but the Melbourne Storm was too clinical, they were too good. And I've got to say, every try they scored was against the run of play. Parramatta seemed to be controlling field position, controlling the game, but all of a sudden they'd make an error and Melbourne would capitalise and score off the back of it. So, as I said, they were just too good, had too many...

I suppose class players in the right positions and got the job done last night versus the Eels. So today I went down to Shark Park this morning at Pointsbet Stadium and watched the Sharkies girls play against the Cowboys. They got the win, but I was only there for the first half. My young daughter played a half time. So I got to watch her play on Shark Park, which is pretty cool. She rang me after and said, Daddy, I got to play where you played. So that was pretty cool. That's awesome. That was awesome. Awesome. The game itself went for about eight minutes. There was probably 35 dropped balls, but it was cute. It was cute anyway. Yeah, but how old is she?

Oh, she's nine. She's nine. She's out there having fun. And it was bucketing down. Yeah, it was fun. She was the best player on the field. She was in the under sevens. Ah, you're an artist. When you rang me this morning, gal, I thought something was wrong because you know when someone rings you and you can automatically tell there's a drama? I was like, huh?

Oh, no. Not the man flu. Not the voice. What's happened here? He said, can I get there at 1 o'clock? Mate, she's playing at Chugwell. I said, of course you can get there at 1 o'clock. Yeah, well, he plays up if I don't ask. I don't have to ask. But all I say to you is, right, everyone else gets here with a bit of preparation time. If you've got something on, that's fine. But try and get here at quarter to 1. So you did well. Just curious, just on what you said there, what do you do for preparation?

Me? Yeah. Not much. Exactly. There you go. But what's the point of 10 a year? Don't start with it, Karen. Oh, this is coming early. Here we go. Hang on. Let me start playing. Listen. Listen. You want to know what preparation at work's all about? No.

When you wake up tomorrow morning at 6.30, I'll still be on the air, right? There we go. Drop off. I'm just playing the violin every morning. And I'm warning you and you. I'm going with you today. I'm going to wake up at 6 and listen to you tomorrow. I'm warning you and you, Alana, you're sweet. I'm warning you and you that I'm going to be very, very tight and cranky in the next couple of weeks. I know you're already tight and cranky. So don't antagonise me, okay? I've just seen something that you said about your restaurant. What?

You're mad if you're going to go in this hospitality business to become a multi-millionaire. For us, it's to give back to the community and make it a centre for the locals. Oh, you are one of the greats. What a suck. You are a suck. Why? That's confirmed out of Sydney Confidential. Mr Moran or what's his name? Jonathan Moran. Jonathan Moran. He wrote that about you. And I quote, Levy says...

You're mad if you're in this business to become a multi-millionaire. I'm only in it to give back to the community. What's wrong with that, you gibbering idiot? Because you're there to make money. Hello, I make enough money doing what I do here. The whole point of it was that we put all of the profits back into the business so we can look after the locals.

I can't give a rap. I've eaten there three nights this week, and the meals are extremely big. Darryl, thanks for being there for the grand opening night. I appreciate the support as well. The meals are, I'm being serious now. I know I love them. I've already read it. They're on big meals on a big plate. I actually think they could almost be too big. So if you want to save a couple of bucks, you could probably bring them in. Now he's giving you advice. Well, I'm just doing my best to help a mate out here. At least I was there for the opening. Isn't it funny? He was there all week when it was free, and all of a sudden they opened the doors to the pub and you've got to pay? Yeah.

Hasn't been seen off knobbies. Alana Ferguson is here. Hello, Fergo. Hello, mate. I'm still a bit rattled that Gail called me Alana before. What about that? That was weird. You struggled. I don't think he knew who you were. Didn't roll off the tongue, did it? I must also admit I panicked on the way here because I was having a listen to the NRLW game that was being played at Shark Park. The Sharkies were playing the Cowboys.

And they said in commentary, they showed Nico Hines in the background, him supporting the women. They said something about Paul Gallen being there. And I was like, oh, I'm going to the wrong place. I'm going to Piedmont. I'm on the blower straightaway going, I've stuffed up here. We're at Shark Park, aren't we? So thankfully, Gal asked to be a little bit late and I was on track. But...

Yeah, afternoon everyone. Happy to be here. There's a lot of sport going on at the moment, isn't there? I mean, the NRL is still charging along. I thought the games were pretty predictable in the end so far. Thursday night footy was awesome because it was an NRLW standalone. NRLW seasons kicked off. The Knights got on top of the Roosters by two points. So great for that season to be underway. The Broncos are actually going down to power at the moment. 10-4.

which is a little bit of a shake-up at Suncorp, and I'll be at the girls' games. There'll be a doubleheader tomorrow on Sunday. Did you watch the Tigers game last night? I didn't see the Tigers-Warriors. I was following it on the scoreboard, and it was 10-0, 14-0, I think. Got back to 14-10 at one stage, but...

I'm just wondering at the back end, when obviously the Warriors ran away of it, I think they won 28 points to 14, but the Tigers must have shown a little bit of fight and come back into the match. Can I ask you guys, just on the topic of the Olympics, and that'll sort of be a lot of the discussion point over the next few weeks.

you all are athletes in your own right. Do you get excited watching others go for gold on the world stage? Fergo, I'll start with you. Yeah, so good. Well, even ahead of the opening ceremony, the seven starts early because where they play their rugby sevens, it actually turns into the track. So they kick off ahead of time. Our Aussie men are in to the finals, which is the first time ever, which is awesome. But yeah, I get pumped. Even just knowing a few of...

a few people in the Olympics, but you know how much they've put into being there. It's so cool. And then sports that you're not used to watching, that you don't watch, you know, like gymnastics is fascinating. I actually can't wait. Aside from all our Aussie competitors going ahead, I can't wait to watch the USA men's basketball team. Oh, yeah. It's insane that they've got everyone playing. They've got LeBron, Steph Curry, Kevin Durant. Like, that's huge. I can't wait to see them. It's going to be amazing. What about you, big man? Oh, I love it. Man, Olympics are great. You know, I've...

I just love watching it. It's fantastic. I must admit, though, typically in Australian style, when the Tillies played the other night, I didn't get up and watch it. What? Well, no, it was 4 o'clock, wasn't it? 3 a.m. Anyway, I didn't watch it. So I got up in the morning, turned the radio on about 6 o'clock, waiting to get the news, hit the sport. No news, no news. Heard nothing about the Tillies. Then I found out they lost. It's typical Australian, isn't it? They did play Germany, though. We jumped off the Tillies already. No, you can't cut it out.

What about you, Paul? You into the Olympics? Of course. How can you not be? I mean, when you have an idea of what an athlete has to go through to get to the top of the tree, to know these guys only compete at this level once every four years, it's an amazing effort to...

the willpower to just keep on going and hopefully get to the Olympics. And obviously they're there at the moment. So let's hope all the Aussies can do as well as they possibly can. Fantastic. And we'll go into a bit more detail about what's to come at the Olympic Games. We'll have our Olympic updates throughout the afternoon. Look, before we go any further, it's been an emotional week for us over the last week or so with the passing of David Morrow. And look, admittedly, not everybody was able to be there or to tune in via the live stream to his service. So we put together a

A short little montage of some of the eulogies and some of the people who spoke on the day. Good morning, everyone. Good morning, Father. Now, that wasn't much of a response, actually. I'm terribly nervous up here. I'm liable to fall down those steps, forget what I'm supposed to be saying, or suddenly say, would the bride and groom please come forward? LAUGHTER

We're all in this together. I need your support. The family need your support. You're all here because of the admiration you had for this man. You had good thoughts about him. He was a good mate. You're all here to be a kind of a conduit from God to the family. So we need to know that we are in this together with a fair bit of enthusiasm. So let's start again. Good morning, everyone. Good morning.

Well done, class. We want to show our love and our sympathy to David's wonderful family. My crikey, I'll bet they've been amazed at the support that you've received. And so you darn well should have. For those of you I don't know, my name is Lucy Morrow.

I am David's younger daughter to my lovely older sister Emily and to his incredible wife and my incredible mother Christine. In mining through Dad's things last week, I found a new prized possession. My Dad's handwritten eulogy from my beloved Poppy's funeral. No one said it better than you Dad, so in your own words: "I owe so much to my Dad. He taught me just about everything I know. Dad taught us many life lessons. Find work you love.

Look after the pennies and the pounds look after themselves. And most notably, you don't need a long neck to be a goose. Ringing my dad is an involuntary reflex in my life. He has always been the first person I would call when something went right and even more so when something would go wrong. So accustomed I was to calling dad and at times oblivious to his work.

That's who the school called when I dislocated my knee on a jumping castle at the age of 15. After a few hours of sitting there, making small talk with my English teacher, wondering why he hadn't come, my sister appeared. Lucy, Dad's in Athens calling the Olympics?

Dad brought us up to be all the things I admired in him. To be hardworking, honest, have integrity, be graceful, value intelligence and academia, but most of all to love each other. In my mind, Dad, we will always be heading off to lunch at Otto and you'll always be the first person I call. Being your daughter will always be the greatest honour of my life. I love you, Dad, and I miss you already.

Good morning everyone, Mark Levy's my name. I've had the honour and privilege of working with David since 2015 at 2GB. I was asked last week how I would sum up the life and career of David Morrow, our great mate. For me it's simple. David was a New South Wales country boy who moved to the Big Smoke to realise his dream as a sports commentator. He ended up travelling the world and provided the soundtrack of a generation.

I wish he was still around to help with our Olympic coverage over the next two weeks because as we know, Davey loved the Olympic Games. But if I know David, he'll have a front row seat somewhere in that main stadium over in Paris. While he won't be with us to cover the Games, Davey will be with us in spirit. I'll certainly be thinking of him when I'm broadcasting from our brand new Olympic studio. In fact, it gives me pleasure to announce this morning a very special honour for David Morrow.

I can announce this morning to the congregation that our Nine Radio Olympic Studio at Pyrmont has a new name. There's a plaque being installed as we speak. It reads, The David Morrow Olympic Studio. I think it's befitting of this wonderful man.

Hello, my name is Matthew Thompson. I am extremely honoured and very humbled to be asked to honour the career of my treasured friend and irreplaceable colleague, David Morrow OAM. A few weeks back, I had an idea to help his legend live on. I asked David if I could take with me his binoculars to the Paralympic Games. And I've inherited a pair of binoculars that has zoned in on sporting champions across the world over many decades.

It also means David lives on at a ninth Olympic Games. Notwithstanding his magnificent career, the thing I'm most grateful to David Morrow for is his friendship. He had an unshakable belief in me. David, you leave the biggest of holes. It can't be filled. I miss you already. I wish this was different. My days at the footy will never be the same again. I love you and may you rest in peace.

Dear God, we pray for the work of the Mark Hughes Foundation. May they continue the wonderful work they do to support people diagnosed with brain cancer. Lord, hear our prayer. Dear God, we pray St George win a grand final and that the New South Wales Blues continue their winning form. Lord, hear our prayer.

Dear God, let us pray for David who fought bravely against his illness that he may find eternal peace and rest in the loving embrace of God. Lord, hear our prayer. Yeah, it was a wonderful service on Thursday and thank you to all of those lovely messages that have been coming through and we'll be compiling a document and passing on all of your lovely messages to Christine, Lucy and Emily Morrow. We're off to a break. We'll come back with plenty more.

Well, last night the Melbourne Storm had a 32 points to 14 win over the Parramatta Eels and I thought it was only appropriate that Will Warbrick scored a try given we're about to launch into our Olympic coverage of the games of the 33rd Olympiad in Paris. Of course, he once won a silver medal with the New Zealand Rugby Sevens team at the Tokyo Olympics and when I was calling the game last night I recognised and acknowledged the Olympic rings that he has on one of his forearms

And he was involved in one of the great tries last year in the semi-finals to put the Melbourne Storm in the prelim final. And it was called brilliantly by Davey. He'll play the ball close to the goal line. Last play. Goes back to Munster. Munster with a cross-wheel kick. Warbrick coming for the ball. Warbrick had it. No, coming back.

having it in his hands is Pauker. He loses it. Warbrick pitches it up and Warbrick scores the winning try for the Storm. Yeah, it was a great moment, no doubt in his career, but he's had so many great moments and I'm pleased to say he's on the line. G'day, Will. Hey, how's it going? Mate, very well. Congratulations on the win last night. I don't think it was one of the better performances from the Melbourne Storm, but still a very valuable two points to put your six points clear on top of the NRL ladder.

Yeah, it was a mixed game. Obviously, we're pretty happy with the result there and get the win. But, you know, probably a bit tougher than we hoped. You know, Parramatta came out to scrap and we sort of missed the mark a couple of times, especially with our starts. Will Cam must have returned from injury. Obviously, he's been out for a fair while with his groin, but he must have been happy to get through last night.

Yeah, I think he's pretty happy. He was up and about during the week, and then even today he's been very vocal and loud and energetic. So he's always good to have back on the side, and he has a huge influence on our team and us. He'd just be a pain in the butt. Well, he actually looked pretty fit, mate. Normally he's got a little bit of mud guts going on, but he actually looked pretty fit. He must have trained pretty hard while he was off, did he?

No, he definitely did. He worked pretty hard in the rehab crew there and the trainers back at the club, they definitely put him under the gun there. He worked hard and I think when he got back out on the field for training and stuff, we sort of seen what kind of shape he was in. Yeah.

So, no, he slotted right back in. What about for yourself, Will? You had a massive game. I think anyone that had you in their fantasy team would be rubbing their mitts together. Over 300 metres. Scored that try, of course. But, Levi, you just mentioned before how you came over from Rugby Sevens. You obviously played in the Olympics as well. But what about for you? How are you tracking at this point in the season? And how are you enjoying your rugby league playing at Melbourne Storm?

Yeah, probably last night's game probably explains how I feel today. I'm pretty buggered and the legs are sore and when the boys told me sort of, you know, the stats and whatnot sort of gave me a reason for why I'm feeling pretty, uh, legs are aching today. But, um, yeah, I'm enjoying it. Uh,

I was talking to someone last night actually after the game and was just talking about the sevens actually being played right now so it's quite crazy you know three years ago I was playing rugby sevens and was a part of the Olympics and then now I'm at Melbourne Storm playing NRL so it's been quite the journey I guess and I'm just enjoying it I love playing league I love playing for the Storm and

I think when you're enjoying it, it's the main thing. So I'm enjoying my footy and, yeah, just trying to learn as I go. Well, mate, I think there's a fair bit of the journey to go for you. Why did you decide to change over to rugby league? What was the reasoning behind jumping from rugby to rugby league? Yeah, look, I was always probably looking to move on from sevens. I was probably looking more on the union side of things for fifteens, but...

I guess I was just presented with the opportunity to try my hand in league and I wasn't too sure at the time until I spoke with Melbourne and it wasn't until I had a Zoom call with Craig

He pretty much told me that he just believed I had what it took to become an NRL player or he believed in me that I could make the change. So when I heard those words come out of his mouth, it sort of made my decision there to try my hand. Yeah, he's pretty convincing, isn't he? Mate, and your first season in the NRL was last year.

You actually won the... Did you win the Dele M rookie of the year or a nomination? Sorry. Nomination. Yeah, sorry. But you also got the Storm rookie and also back of the year honours. Like, it's not a bad effort when some of the backs you've got in that club, and I know Pappenhauser didn't play all year, but you got Pappenhauser, Hughes and Munster there and you won back of the year. It's a fair effort. Yeah, it's pretty crazy to think. I think a few of those boards had injuries throughout the season, so that probably helps. But, um...

Yeah, no, I had, I guess, a pretty good season last year and I think it just comes back down to enjoying it. I sort of,

I enjoyed probably learning the game as the season went on. The NRL season is very tough. I found out the hard way last year and I think I'm probably a bit more experienced now coming into this season. So, yeah, I'm just enjoying the journey and the process of just trying to get better. It helps being at a club like the Storm and the teammates I have as well. Well,

I've made the point this week, Will, and plenty of people have said it over the years, how the Melbourne Storm have been able to continue to turn great players into superstars is breathtaking when you think about some of the calibre of players they've lost over the years. Cameron Smith, Billy Slater, Greg Inglis, Cooper Cronk, the list goes on. You're one of those players doing a remarkable job, mate. Congratulations on the win last night, and I'm sure you'll be tuned in to the Olympic Games over the next couple of weeks. Appreciate you joining us.

Thanks for having me. Good on you, Will. That's Will Warbrick from the Melbourne Storm, their winger, and he scored a try last night in their 32 points to 14 win over Parramatta. On the way to the break, let's get an Olympic update.

G'day there, Mike Pearsall with your Olympics update. Well, with the opening ceremony now completed, the Games are officially underway. But we have had plenty of action already in football and rugby sevens. Our men's sevens side has had a blinder of a start to the Games.

reaching the semi-finals for the first time in history. The next match-up will be tough though, they'll play Fiji tonight, who has won gold at the last two Olympics. A win there will guarantee a medal at the Games for Australia, while a loss will still leave them a chance to win bronze. Not a fantastic start for the Matildas, they've been thrashed 3-0 by Germany in their women's football opener. The official day one of the Games lies ahead of us today.

And the medal tally will get up and running with silverware up for grabs in swimming, road cycling, diving and skateboarding. A stack of other sports are also getting underway, including basketball, beach volleyball, boxing, canoe slalom and rowing. That is the latest from Paris. I'm Mike Pearsall. That Paris 2024 medal tally was thanks to Woolworths, proud fresh food partner of the Australian Olympic and Paralympic teams.

Back around the grounds, Uber Reserve. Second half underway at Suncorp Stadium. NRLW, Parramatta 10, leading Brisbane 4. 10-4 the score as we take you around the grounds for Uber Reserve. Yes, Big Marne? Levy, I actually listened to a fair bit of the Olympic stuff this morning. I woke up about half past five and turned 2GB on and listened to the great man Ray Hadley and the two girls, Libby Trickett and Jane Fleming. And it was wonderful coverage. So I decided to get up and just watch the last bit of it.

And I got a chance to just watch probably as soon as I turned the TV on, it was like the lighting of the cauldron or the, I don't know what it was. It was like a big air balloon. It was like a balloon, wasn't it? Yeah. And I don't know what happens with it, but it was floating everywhere. And then I saw the Eiffel Tower and Celine Dion came out, mate.

Seriously, it brought me to tears. Was she good? She was phenomenal, mate. I went to the cafe this morning and the first person the lady said to me, oh, did you see Celine Dion this morning? And I didn't get up and watch it, to be honest. And they reckon she absolutely killed it. Well, I'm going to tell you, she did. Look, if you're listening, Sydney Morning Herald, I've got a front page thing for you. Not an exclusive. I can give them the wording of what they need to put on their page. Headlines? Here it is. You ready?

She may have been dressed in silver, but she put in a gold medal performance. That's good from you, Big Mike. This is why you're on the big box. It's for free. And if any of the papers out there, if I was a Sydney Morning Herald, I'd jump on it before the opposition. Because I know they listen to this show. You've got to be a bit more clever than that, Dan. How clever do you want me to be? Cleverer. Cleverer? Cleverer. Here he is, everybody. Paul Gallant.

How much cleverer do you want me to be? Be cleverer. Give me something. I just told you she was dressed in silver but put in a gold medal performance. It was brilliant. That was brilliant. That's brilliant. Daryl, if you're the sub-editor of a newspaper, right, and you're coming up with the great little headlines and stuff, you've got to do a bit better than that. Okay, okay. I'll tighten it up a bit. Maybe referencing one of her... Yeah, exactly. You can't fit that all on the front page. This is what you can do. Dressed in silver but gave gold. Yeah.

That's brilliant. I'll be very surprised if that's not on the front page of one of the papers tomorrow. What song did she sing?

I don't know. It was French. I don't know what it was. She actually sang in French also. What were these ladies at the cafe talking about then? I think she is French, isn't she? No, she's not. Is she really? I think so. Celine Dion? No, she's American. She's been living in America. Celine Dion? She's not American. She's French. I'm asking Google. She must be French. I've got it here. You just said she's American. She's a Canadian singer. There we go. I knew she wasn't French. Well, hold on. How many Frenchies are there in Canada? Oh, there's heaps. No, she's a French.

French-Canadian conversation. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So she's not totally French. I'll make it to this idiot. She's got French in her. You can't jump into the percentage conversation now. No, you can't. Yes, we can. So she was sang beautifully. I was phenomenal. She's been sick too. Well, you know what I'm going to do? How do you know? Well, everyone knows that. She had the stiff body syndrome. Yeah, stiff body syndrome or something. That's something I haven't had.

I was about to use that one, but I was like, no, I'll keep it clean because Libby gets up me. She has been unwell, mate. Okay, Darrell, I've got a challenge for our listeners. If you would like to win a signed footy jersey from Create Merchandise, cr8.sydney is their website, uniforms, corporate school, sports, you name it. So you need to come up with a headline. For the front page of the Sydney Morning Herald, if it's better than Darrell Broman's, you win a signed jersey. Dressed in silver.

gold performance. That's the headline. It's brilliant. We can do better than that, I reckon. I'm with you. How are you going to do better than that? Mate, our listeners are very creative, Daryl. I also want to say this. I don't know who dressed her, but the dress she had on was just beautiful. It was. Who were you, Pierre Cardin or something? Hello. Got one word for you. Lowe's. Oh, models. I know this stuff, mate. What did you think, Alana? You watched it, didn't you? Oh, yeah. She looked lovely. Did you love the dress? The dress was beautiful.

Hello. Oh, she looks lovely. She looks lovely. It's not up my alley. You didn't watch it, did you? Yeah, I did, I did. You did actually. I'm thinking you just tried to smile. No, no, no, I did, I did. I watched it. Did you like the dress? She looked nice. It's not up my alley, but she looked nice.

All right. Signed footy jersey to be won. If you can do better, she wore silver but delivered gold. Beautiful. If you can do better than that, you'll win yourself a signed jersey. So give us a ring, 131873. You can email us via the website. You can text us, 0460873873. I'm thinking about some of her great songs, you know, like My Heart Will Go On.

Have a look at them coming through, Daryl. Listeners, just brilliant stuff. Well, there's good stuff. Brilliant stuff. Before we get to a few of them, Bea's in Maroubra. Hello, Bea. Hi, good morning, gents. How are you going? It is afternoon. She's definitely a French-Canadian, and she's wearing an aluminum dress to bring home the gold. Would you... Aluminium. Was that a joke? I know you guys say it wrong. Aluminum. Aluminum.

You know what, I've got a neighbor that I think's Canadian. I don't know if she's Canadian or American. Is there an easy way to work out the difference in the way you speak, Bea, or not? Generally, it's if you hear the word out and about, that generally gives it away. Out and about. Out and about. Yeah, the word out and about. So how would an American say out and about? How would an American say out and about?

I don't know. I'm a counterfeit Canadian because I was born in the States and brought up in Canada, so my husband gives it to me every week. Wow. Go, Bea. Oh, Bea. Bea, Bea, Bea. Bea, thank you so much for the call. Salima's fantastic. Paul just got it.

I got it from the start. I was just laughing. Thank you, Bea. 131873, the number. Russell's in Brisbane. Hello, Russell. Yeah, good day, guys. How are you? Good, mate.

for a headliner it's what Celine outshines everybody again yeah nice Russell nice simple simple and effective mate thank you it wasn't even good I've got a good one silver lining meets a golden voice oh Paul who texted that no one texted someone you just read it on your phone you just read it off

I'm starting to learn about AI. I just typed into AI to come up. Silver lining. Silver lining means a golden voice. What did you type in? I just typed in gold, silver, Celine Dion. She was great. That's what I typed in. Did you see? You all saw it. Celine Dion's golden voice. It was phenomenal. What she did was brilliant. She was incredible. This AI is crazy. We might talk about that later on. It's scary. In the meantime, Philip's at Camden. Hello, Philip.

Hi, how are you? Good, thank you, mate. Yep. You're on the edge, Philip. What have you got for us, mate? I'm just heading into work and was listening to you in the car, so... Yeah, you're on the edge, Philip. What have you got for us, mate? You've got a headline. Dion does gold in silver. Oh, I like it. Yeah, that's good. You know what, Philip?

Leaderboard. Top of the leaderboard. You win. Well done, mate. Stay there. We'll send you a signed footy jersey from Create Merchandise. 131873. You know what? This has now turned into just headlines about Paris. Paris Olympics 2024, where records, romance and baguettes are broken daily. Thank you very much for that. There was a good one here that came through that I think we should mention. It was about the Titanic from Darren.

Celine's Titanic performance. That's very good. Very nice. That is very good. Very nice. I've got to say, and I was, I did nearly cry. I did tear up a little bit. I thought it was beautiful. You are an emotional man. But I thought it was beautiful, mate. I mean, at the end of a big day for Paris, for her to be there in the Eiffel Tower and produce something like that was just incredible. She's probably one of the finest voices of all time. The way in which she can hit those high notes, amazing.

So well done. 131873 the number. Thank you for all those creative text messages coming through as well. We better get to a break. 1410 Parramatta leading Brisbane. Midway through the, well early in the second half of the NRLW match. 1410 Parramatta leading Brisbane. You're listening to The Continuous Call.

Time for the continuous call team Saturday footy quiz. Each week we have a $150 Lowe's digital gift card to be won. We'll be doing a Who Am I quiz on Saturdays. Don't call now. You'll hear all three calls. Wait for all three of them before you give us a ring on 1300 722 873. And when you know the answer, that's the number you call. So clue number one, I made my debut for the Sharks in 2011.

And I've also played for the Warriors and Cowboys in my career. I made my debut for the Sharks in 2011. And I've also played for the Warriors and the Cowboys in my career. There are two more clues to come. Then you can give us a buzz on 1300 722 873. 1300 722 873. And look, just before we go any further...

I wanted to congratulate my colleagues who have been nominated for commercial radio awards, the ACRAs they're called. And I'm delighted to say that we've been nominated for Best Sports Event Coverage, the Continuous Call Team, for the 2023 NRL Grand Final, the Panthers' Miracle Comeback.

And a couple of our colleagues as well have been nominated for talk programs. Ben and Ray are in there, Current Affairs, Chris O'Keefe, Best Talk Presenter, Station of the Year, 2GB Sydney. I'm on there as well with the late great David Morrow for Best Sports Presenter. So that's a lovely thrill to be nominated alongside Davey. And the list goes on. So, Daryl, you know what it's like to be nominated for commercial radio awards. Yeah, I lost. Yeah, but you're still nominated, mate. That's an achievement. Yeah, no, it was good.

I'm just getting over it now, Levy. I was a bit dirty at the time, particularly the bloke who won it, didn't know who I was. Who was that? In the same category. I'm not mentioning names. Oh, yeah.

I've actually won one. Who was it? Oh, come on. He didn't know. I went up and congratulated him. He said, thanks, champ. Where was it? I'm not telling you. It was at, I don't know. It was in the city somewhere. Oh, this is a scandal. Anyway, I'm just getting over it, Lee. It was about a year ago when I was there. I can't recall it. Did you champ then buddy her? No, just a champ. You keep doing your best little buddy. But we did get to go to the table and have a few drinky-poos.

It was a good night, other than losing. I'm just going to have a look here. You can get nominated, but sometimes you know when you win. What, hang on, Gerard Waitley didn't know who you are? No comment. Sour. No comment. He's calling the athletics for Channel 9. He's a stable mate of ours at the moment. He should know who you are. I don't think he was in those days. You're high profile.

We had no idea who it was. So you're off Gerard Waitley. You're off Steve Waugh too. He didn't acknowledge you at the Petro Bowser. That was a long time ago, Steve Waugh. That was a long, long time ago. Actually, Davey told me about Gerard Waitley, so I'm leaving it alone. One, three, one. Another one of his favourites. Another one of his men favourites.

0460 873 873. 18 points to 10. Parramatta leading Brisbane. 16 minutes left, second half of the NRLW. We do that for Uber Reserve. Continuous call time. I just had a note from Stephen Sinatiempo, who's the host of the 2CC Breakfast Show in Canberra. He said, Mark, you might want to remind Daryl that he and I were discussing on the night that neither of us knew who Jared was either.

Mate, I knew who he was. I knew who he was, but he didn't know who I was. Thank you, Stephen. When Stephen wins, he does a little dance and then gets himself up onto the... Because he's like us, Darrell. He's a big unit, big Stevie. Yeah, I like Stevie. Good on you, Stephen. Thank you for tuning in on this Saturday. 20 points to 10, Parramatta leading Brisbane NRLW. We've got a break for some news. We'll come back with the next hour of the Continuous Call team as we do it from the interactive studio.

Yeah, welcome back, Continuous Call team, as we do it from the interactive studio. And can you believe it? In the first round of the NRLW competition, we've had two players sent to the sin bin for throwing punches. For throwing punches, Alana Ferguson, 20 points to 10. Parramatta leading Brisbane at Suncorp Stadium, nine minutes left in the second half. Feisty, wasn't it? Yeah, Kennedy Charrington didn't like what happened to her sister, Ruben, and...

bit of frustration I think from the Brisbane Broncos they're down 20 to 10 not necessarily the scoreline that everyone was predicting oh looks like she's been really dominant too yeah she's been very dominant all game against the Broncos that might have been a bit frustrated with her yep so Netta Nwasala threw a punch on

Kennedy-Charrington and they're both off for 10. Wouldn't you get sent off for a punch? I would have thought you'd get sent off. No, it's 10. It's automatic 10. Automatic 10. Automatic 10 being straight away. So there's no need to send off. But then she'll have a finally, surely. 20 points to 10. Parramatta leading Brisbane. Eight and a half minutes left in the second half. NRLW. Of course, last night in the two games that were played, we were on deck to bring you the clash between the Melbourne Storm and

Melbourne won that game 32 points to 14. And in the earlier game, the Warriors over the West Tigers by 28 points to 16. Three games today. We start off with the Broncos and the Bulldogs. Team news is through thanks to Coles. Win with the Winners of Sports giveaway. On now at Coles for the Broncos. Corey Oates, he's onto the bench. Tyson Smoothie drops to the 18th man. Martin Tapaul playing his 250th. Pat Carrigan, his 100th.

And for the Bulldogs, Stephen Crichton, as I mentioned earlier, is out with a neck injury. Jacob Corraz to the centres. Daryl Skelton onto the wing. And Hayes Perham is the 18th man in that game. Who are we tipping here? Team Broncos or Bulldogs? I suppose the loss of Crichton. Big Marns are

big, big blow for them. Yeah, it's a massive blow. He's their captain. He's their inspiration, isn't he? Look, I tip the Broncos only because I've probably tipped them for about the last 10 weeks. I keep waiting for them to come good. I thought they were okay last week in the win, but they'll take a bit out of the win. Adam Reynolds back.

I think they'll have too much speed for the Dogs. I think they'll have too much to play for too. Kerry can play his 100th game and the other fellow player, he's 250. So I think they'll have too much to play for. And the Dogs have been good for a long time. They're still up there coming fifth or sixth at the moment, I think. So I think...

Yeah, I think if it was Stephen Crichton out, they'd probably be missing a little bit too much. They'll still be solid, though, the Bulldogs. But, yeah, their leader, like so much of the talking point this year has been what an incredible difference Stephen Crichton's made as a leader in that team. So not having him on the field...

Puts a lot of pressure on other players. Some of the stars in the Broncos, far out. Yeah. And it's probably the strongest side they've fielded in quite some time. They've got their halves pairing back. Reece Walsh is at the back. Great back line. Certainly is. Back line's insane. Well, we'll keep an eye on that and update the scores for you. Then later on tonight, 5.30, the Cowboys up against the Sharks.

Big game for your Sharkies, gal. Yeah, big game up there. They've got a good record against the Cowboys. Been pretty dominant against them for a while, but they've got to win this one. They've been pretty good up in that top four for most of the season, but away games like this against a pretty good side. The Cowboys are probably flying under the radar a bit this year. Cup this year, they're outstanding. Last year, they were very disappointing, and there was moments early on this year where they didn't look so good either, but they've meant to sneak under the radar. They've won nine or ten games, I think, so they're well up there in the top eight, and

Yeah, big game over in this one. They've got a long way to make in that. We're definitely making the eight. I think they'll both make the eight. But if the Sharks can get the job done, it gets them in that top four. And you'll be calling that game with Jamie Sauer this afternoon, yourself and Gow. And then Chris Warren will be on deck for the late game because I've got to have a

couple of hours off before I back up for Olympic Games coverage. So Matt's over in Paris. I'm going to be doing some Olympic coverage from here. So Jamie Sowd will be on deck from 5.30. Chris Warren from 7.35. And then the games tomorrow, the Dragons and Panthers and the Dolphins and the Titans, the Raiders and the Rabbitohs to wrap up round number 21 of the Telstra Premiership. Big Man, there's something you'd like to discuss with the team. Well, as I said before, I'm pretty old and I was at the street party last night and I...

My next door neighbour's a Canadian. She's actually a lawyer and she's a lovely lady. Anyway, we're at the street pub. We've got the fire pit going and there's all the, you know, there's about a dozen of us in the street. So all the parents were there and kids. Anyway, the whole thing. They brought out some marshmallows. The best. And put them on the stick and cooked them in the fire. Now, she said, I'm going to make a s'more.

A what? A s'more. Yeah. I've never heard of a s'more. Have you heard of a s'more, Levy? No, never. I've never heard of a s'more. Do you know what a s'more is? Yeah, you put it between a couple of biscuits and sometimes there's choccy on them. Or if you use those digestive biscuits that have chocolate on one side, then you get it all in one. I do a bit of that when I go to bed. S'more.

I don't know any s'more. I'm smart as well. Ah, Big Mar, yes. Yeah, that's a good one, isn't it? Very good. But anyway, I've never heard of a s'more. It's got to be American. It must be Canadian. I think it is American. Yeah, because I've never heard of it. I feel like maybe I've seen it from a movie or something, but they're delicious. Well, we did make them. So did she come along to the party and she said, Hey, Big Mar, I'm going to make a s'more.

And you said, a s'more? What's a s'more? Well, I tried to speak in Canadian. It wasn't easy. But I didn't want to say anything. Did you like it? Is it any good? Beautiful. Well, apparently, look, this is for the punters out there. If you've never done a marshmallow on the fire pit, right, you put it on the stick, you put it out there, and you let it get burned. It actually burns and catches fire. That's good. The marshmallow's on fire? Yeah, that's good. Then you take it out and blow on it and cool it down. Then you put it between that...

What do you call them? The digestive biscuits with the chocolate on one side. Put them in between that, squish it together and eat it. Mate, it was beautiful. Most importantly, you know the sticks we're talking about here? Yeah, the wooden. The wooden sticks that you buy from the shop? No, they were actually quite thick. They were thick and probably about... But were kids pulling them off a tree? No, no, no. Or something like a bush stick? Well, you could use that if you wanted to.

That's what I would imagine. You have a bonfire and you're going to cook a marshmallow on a stick. You just get a stick from a tree, whack the marshmallow on it and use that. So you're talking about actually had bought sticks. Yeah, they bought sticks. We're not a stupid congregation here. That's elitist.

Yeah, well, we've got a lot of rich people in our street. It's a very good street to live in, let me tell you. Six million dollar homes. A lot of people with money in there. And you know what's even better? One of the homes has been, the people have obviously sold and left, it's been demolished and they haven't started building on it yet. So we had the party outside. Is that where you had the party? Exactly. On their driveway. They might be building a duplex there. You're going to have lots and lots of cars in the street. They are building a duplex there. Oh, there you go. It's going to double the amount of cars in the street for you. That's going to decrease the value of your joint. I have never...

Mate, if I live in the streets, it's worth a lot. But I've never heard of a s'more, and it was beautiful. The kids loved it, and some of the adults loved them as well. Did you say a bit of chocolate on their turn?

Yeah, well, they can have chocolate on the biscuit. You know, get those, what do you say, digestives? Yeah, the digestive biscuits. With chocolate on them. Haven't you had them either? I've never had them either. I've been living under a rock. I'm like, what are you talking about? A digestive biscuit. Actually, I brought some bickies in today with chocolate. What are they, Scotch Fingers, where they had the chocolate on one side? Oh, yum. I was waiting for your coffees to turn up. That's like the Rolls Royce of Scotch Fingers with the chocolate on them. They'd be a pretty good shout with a...

toasted marshmallows. It's obviously an American thing because I don't think we toast marshmallows a lot here. No, but kids in the bush, whenever I was going camping back in the day with the bushfire, 100%. Definitely we toast marshmallows here. I've never heard of a small, but as far as doing the marshmallow thing on the stick, 100%. I'm going to make a

You're going to make a statement, Lee? I'm going to make a controversial statement. You should have s'mores at your restaurant. Don't do it. I'm going to make a controversial statement about marshmallows. I think they're overrated. You're up your head. Yes, 100%. Overrated. And people that sit around fires and hold them over the fires, they're sticky, they're hot, they're disgusting. You just put it straight in your gob. I don't mind that for kids. You don't play with it, mate. I think that's a pretty cool thing to do for kids at a bonfire when you're camping. Speak for yourself. LAUGHTER

I was waiting. I thought Gav would have gone there. I'm actually with you on the marshmallows. I think they're overrated too. Overrated. I think they're heaps better cooked on fire. You don't just eat them out of the bag. There's no point. Or what about dunking in a hot chocolate? See, but what about cafes? When you go to a cafe and you get a hot chocolate, I take my kids to the cafe. A little marshmallow on top. See, not even my kids like the marshmallows. Oh, come on. They don't. Why don't...

Why do you not like a marshmallow? Our kids don't like sugar. Well, for some reason, my kids don't like marshmallows. Well, one of them does, but I can't remember which one, but they don't all like marshmallows. So who eats it? You? No, I don't. I actually don't like them. I'll just leave you. I think they're overrated. Can we get our listeners involved in this? Because I'm intrigued. Have you ever heard of a schmore? Do you make schmores at home and...

Do you agree or disagree that marshmallows are overrated over a fire? Mate, I've got a text here already, and our text number is, what is it? 0460 873 873. And this lady next door did say this. Marky, a traditional schmaw must be made with a graham cracker.

And that's what she said. I don't know what a graham cracker is. Well, it's the same as what you said. Google. Google. We don't have them in Australia, unfortunately. But you've got the other ones we were talking about. Digestive biscuits. So, yeah, they look just a thinner version. Oh, they look far more boring. They look like those wafer biscuits. Yeah, I think so. They look far more boring. Mate, I'm telling you, it was beautiful.

Yeah, it was beautiful. So it was s'more and marshmallows. All right, well, we discussed the big issues, folks, so let's get you involved. 131873, the number. I'm just not a fan of marshmallows. I just think they're overrated. What about in Rocky Road Ice Cream?

Nah. Oh, mate, come on. You don't like Rocky Road. What about Rocky Road in general? Oh, yeah, Rocky Road. What darling made last year? Oh, she does good Rocky Road. Did I not bring something? No, we haven't brought anything this year, but last year was outstanding. No, I brought it in on a Sunday. You weren't here. Oh, dear. But why do they call it a schmaw, Darryl? I've got no idea. A schmaw? I've got no idea, but it's a...

I'm sure it's S-M-O-R-E, schmor. Because, like, you know, you're putting a marshmallow in there on the biscuits. You'd think there'd be some sort of connotation between the biscuit and the... But a schmor is just a random name. I just even said it like a Canadian, a schmor. Schmor. Well, if you can answer the question for us, mate. Give me some schmor. Give me some schmor.

Give me some s'more. Maybe that's why. Mummy, mummy, I want some s'more. Ben's an idiot. You want more? Why would you buy it into them after you're putting them over a fire and burn your mouth? I mean, mate, what you do, you blow the smoke, the fire out off them and you let them cool a little bit? No, they're still hot.

and they stick to the top of your mouth. That's ridiculous. That's like saying, why would you eat hot soup? Like, what, are you going to wait for it to cool down? Exactly. That's ridiculous. They stick to the top of your mouth. Oh, you're obviously eating it right. And then you get all your sticky fingers and all that. I think I might open a shop. I'm anti. Big smash. I'll invest. The smaller you buy, the better it gets. Especially for me. I've got a million of them.

And you'll be serving it in a silver dress. With Celine Dion in the background. A number of fans will be outside saying, schmore, schmore, big man. Schmore for me. 131873, the number. Have you ever heard of a schmore? And are you anti or do you like toasted marshmallows? Full-time Suncorp 2210. Parramatta's beating Brisbane and has beaten Brisbane. We'll take a break. Other side of this, your calls on schmores and marshmallows.

Schmores and marshmallows, that's the topic this afternoon. Mooney and Denman says, do you get them from a schmorgasbord? That's actually his best one ever. Oh, they're on fire. Jeff's at Glen Elm Fine. Hello, Jeff. G'day, boys. How are we? Good, thank you, mate.

That's the way. Look, I just want to say I've been a Cronulla supporter since 1969. I was at the grand final supporting Gal at the 2016 grand final when Melbourne were pouring down straight where I was sitting and I was cheering like hell for Gal.

And I'm offended at the way he's carrying on today. Don't you listen every week. I haven't carried on at all today. Hang on, let's find out what he's carrying on about. Just hear me out, Gal. I've supported you your whole career.

And we get on to this topic about marshmallows. Well, this is not a G up. My last name's Mallows, right? And they call me Marsh at school. And all you blokes there are paying out on marshmallows. And I've had a gun for it. Well, mate, I don't like it. Not all of us are. I don't like it. Me and Big Man are pro-marshmallow. You've got Pogo and Big Man, okay? You've got them two. Me and Levi are against your marshmallow. It's just not there.

Sorry, Marshy. Now you're suggesting he's soft. I mean, Marshmallow. Marshy, what do you look like? Do you look like Big Man? No, I don't. I'm 65 years old. I've been a finely tuned athlete all my life. I still play golf. I've got a handicap. So with all respect to Big Man,

I like marshmallows. Good on you, Marshy. Good on you, Marshy. Marshy, you're obviously not good looking if you don't look like me. I reckon Marshy's flying. Big Marshy. I love Marshy. And he's a Sharky's man too. He's a Sharky, 100%. But I'm sorry, mate. I'm just not into marshmallows, but I'm into you, buddy. So I might catch up one day. She's right. Thanks, Jeff. 131873, the number. Phoenix at Redcliffe. Hello, Phoenix. Hello, boys. How are you? Good, mate.

Opposite to Marsh here, not a finely tuned athlete. Life is yours and mesh marshmallow is a bit too much. You know, whenever you go cold, you see the powered wheelchairs and stuff. That's my specialty. Stop it. How old are you? I'm not joking. I'm not pulling your leg.

So you go to Woolworths and you rent a powered scooter to get yourself around the shop? Well, it's all right. I want to, do I? You poor bugger. So you must be a big... I need to get someone else to get the marshmallows up again. I can't touch it. Yeah.

Fair enough. Well, Phoenix, thank you for weighing in on marshmallows and everything else. 131873 is the number. How dare you? You're the one who said it, not me. Well, he's weighed in on a topic, and you've put it literally. How dare you? There you go again, weighed in on a topic. But that's the reason I said it. He's from Arizona, Phoenix.

What has happened? This is brilliant from you guys. I'm impressed. Let's keep moving. Helen's in Sydney. Hello, Helen. Hello, Mark. How are you? I'm very well, thank you. Well, I can tell you what s'mores means. It's so good that you want s'more. That's a...

It's pretty obvious. That's true. That's true. They are nice. So in America, you have the graham crackers, one on each side. You've got a thin square of chocolate, and then the hot marshmallow melts the chocolate. You squish it together, and you have a round of fire, hopefully with a bunch of cowboys, because then it's even better. And that's it.

Oh, Helen. Helen, you sound like the sort of person we want to have a party with. I want to know, Helen, how many times did you have a schmaw when you were sitting around a fireplace with a few cowboys? Quite a few, actually. Were you a cowgirl in those days?

No, but I wouldn't have minded being one. She's talking about the cowboy drinks. I don't think so. What are they called? I think she's talking about chaps. Helen, you better set the record straight here. Are we talking about the drink or the actual cowboys?

I think I'd keep that to myself. Helen, stay there. We're sending you a continuous call team show bag from Complete Blinds. Marty and Troy have been in business for 20 years and they'll send you and we'll look after you with a continuous call team show bag. Pete is at Caring Bar. Hello, Pete.

G'day, Mark. How you doing, mate? Good, thank you, mate. Hello, mate. Mate, just an introduction to s'mores a few years ago over at Huntington Beach in the States. We were mucking around the beach and we had a few locals come up to us and definitely they are the Graham biscuit. However, my version is the GDK biscuit in Sydney and you use a biscotti for that. But you've definitely got to toast everything over the fire.

And in the Shire, mate, every few weeks we have the fire burning and the marshmallows are on. That doesn't sound too bad, actually. You know what?

I think a fire pit are outstanding. You haven't got one, have you? I do in the backyard. I've actually got an old beer keg that a mate of mine, Ross Bull, who's a plumber, he got an angle grinder and put some goalposts in it. So when the fire's on, you see the goalpost and the ball going through between the sticks. It's pretty clever. Really? Yeah, it looks good. That's cool. It's a fancy fire pit. But it's just an old keg that's in the backyard near the pool. I remember when we used to go away as a kid, we used to just have the inside of a washing machine. Yeah.

That's proper old school. Go choose kids, go take a torch, go find a stick. What about this, Ben? We're roasting marshmallows. Daryl has a permanent marshmallow. Hello, prostate. I mean, that's despicable, Ben. Ben. Ben, you're despicable, bro. Paul says, team, marshmallows are essential in Rocky Road together with raspberries. Yeah, I agree. I've never understood the attraction of tasting marshmallows over the fire from Cathy.

They end up burnt and gooey. God forbid a drop of burning marshmallow hits your lip or chin. You end up with a third degree burn. Definitely not a fan. You've just got to take the time. No, you don't. You don't have to be blind every time you have a marshmallow over a fire pit. I don't mind the rocky road. The rocky road that Darlene made last year was absolutely fantastic. She does make outstanding rocky roads. I'm not into the hot ones or the burnt ones. I've just been googling while we've been talking about this what a schmor is. So it's spelt

S apostrophe M-O-R-E. Right. Shemora's a contraception of the...

phrase some more a s'more recipe appeared in a campfire marshmallows cookbook in the early 1920s where it's called as our listeners have pointed out a graham cracker sandwich the text indicates that the treat was already popular with both boy scouts and girl scouts which is why it's called s'more because you want some more 131873 the number 2gb.com click onto the feedback icon if you'd like to join us Kia is in Brisbane hello Kia hey how you going good thank you mate

That's good. I was just ringing about the s'more. I only knew about it because it's a famous part of a kids' movie called The Sandlot Kids. And the new kid to the area gets invited to a get-together, and one of the kids goes, do you want some s'more? And he goes, how can I have some s'more if I haven't had any yet? What's another kids' movie where the kid walks up

And he doesn't say small, but he goes, can I have some more? Oliver. Oliver, that's right, Oliver, yeah. He says please. More? Yeah, yeah, that's right. Oliver, Oliver. He was in the church, wasn't he? Who?

Oliver. No, he's in a boy's home. A boy's home. And then he gets taken in by the funeral director and all that sort of thing. Beautiful stuff. Great stuff. Thank you, Kia. 131873. Great cars too. 131873. 2GB.com. 4BC.com.au. Click onto the feedback icon and you can text us as well. 0460 873 873. Clue number two in the Saturday quiz. I won a premiership with Cronulla in 2016. I won a premiership with Cronulla in 2016. So debut for the Sharks.

Played for the Warriors and Cowboys. Won a premiership for the Sharks in 2016.

And there's one more clue to come. And he's a great mate of Paul Gallant's. They're great friends. We actually are. I did see a recent post. Yeah, we've nutted it out. Do you feel I played a part in you, you know, rekindling the relationship? Yeah, to be fair, you probably did. Actually, I've been really wanting to speak about this. Well, because, you know, nothing ever, I just said what I said. And when Darrell was like, hang on, why aren't you supporting him? Is there an issue? I was like, well, yeah, there is. I said the issue. So if Big Mom probably didn't ask the question, it probably would never have come out and we probably would have been

festering this issue, but chatty ring me and we sort it out. You know what, mate? Thank you, Big Mark. Life's too short. You just gave away who it was. You know what? It is. You've been on a wonderful journey with him. Mate, I went to his 18th, his 21st wedding, so yeah, probably had too much issue. It's easy to say, I know, but mate, life is too short. I'm with you, Big Mark. Look after him. I'm thinking maybe, given what you've done for Paul and the winner of the quiz today, or the person in the quiz, maybe we should bring back

continuous call team counselling sessions. Because you've been effective in healing a great rift between two premiership players for the Sharks. Well, there's a lot of, you know what, and I pride myself on this. I'm actually very good at telling people what they should be doing as opposed to what I actually do. You know, I actually feel the same way. I feel like I'm good at giving advice. But like, when I'm involved, I'm hopeless. I'm

Is that like you? Are you hopeless? I wouldn't say I'm hopeless. Run hard, tackle hard. My kids at 88 this morning, they won 24-0. How did your daughter's team go? Did you say there was eight minutes of play and they dropped the ball 60 times? Every set.

Good advice. They didn't complete a set, but my son's team won. Mate, I am good at giving advice. I'm not good at doing it myself. I do understand what you mean there. See, Fergo and Gail, you might not be familiar with this, but Ray and the Continuous Call team a number of years ago opened the lines and we did Continuous Call team counselling sessions so people could ring through and ask questions. I think this would be really fun. And we even had a little opener made. It went like this. Something's wrong, bolts in the boys. I'm counting on knots of trouble. Times are pulling out. Nowhere else to turn.

So that was the Robertson Brothers song, but the opener for the counselling sessions went like this. There he is, Ray Hadley's counselling team.

Turning your darkness into light Solving your problems with their insight Giving you strength, a heart it may seem Ray has counseling teams

So if you'd like to be counselled by the big man, Darryl Broman. Let's bring it back. Shall we bring it back for one day? Let's bring it back for a weekend. Let's do it now. If there's anybody out there in listener land who wants some counselling from Darryl, from Fergo and from Gow, but it'll mainly be you, Darryl, because you're the eldest statesman of the Continuous Call team and experienced when it comes to counselling. And nothing like sexuality, all that stuff. And you get, it's free advice. Free advice.

131873, the number, if you'd like some counselling from the big man from Fergo and Gal. 131873, the number, and I might even give you a signed footy jersey from Create Merchandise. If you'd like to be a part of the counselling session, any issues in your life...

You know what I did. Are we going anywhere? Over the years, I think I helped a lot of couples who were going through stressful times. Really? What sort of stress? A lot of people aren't happy with their partners in many ways. And I think on most occasions, I came up with the goods when it came to advice.

Are you happy with Darlene? Get your own bedroom? No, well, because that depends on the situation. It depends on the situation. I mean, there's so many times I said to them, I'd just leave him. You've obviously chosen the wrong one. I think that fixes the problem. If you're not happy, just leave. It's not that hard, is it? Oh, by the way, and the other reason why it's worth calling through to be a part of the counselling is we've got Mark. Mark, of course, at Stapleton's Quality Meats. He gives us a $200 meat tray voucher to be won.

every Saturday. So all you need to do is give us a ring 131873 you could win a jersey you could win a meat tray voucher for 200 bucks from Stapleton's Quality Meats here in Sydney. Put your question to the big man to Paul and to Fergo and they'll offer you some counselling advice. We're off to a break we'll come back with

More in just a sec. Great to have you with us. Mark Levy, Alana Ferguson, Darrell Broman and Paul Gallen. Two teams warming up, Canterbury and Brisbane at Suncorp Stadium. We'll update the scores on that as we take you around the grounds. We will get to some counselling calls very shortly. Our dedicated support crew, producer Pat and producer Andrew, are just weeding through those calls, Darrell, to work out those who are

Worthy of a counselling from you, Darrell, from you, Paul, and from you, Fergo. Nothing's too difficult. Just whatever your problem is, give us a ring. I think I could help. All right, here's one for you. Just on the way to Malmeningen. Good afternoon, team. I need help.

From Bruce the Truckie. Go, Bruce. I won an argument with the wife today, and now I don't know what to do. Say sorry. I'll take advantage of it. Happy wife, happy life. Well, I mean, well, he's a happy man if he won an argument with his wife, so she's obviously vulnerable at the moment. So, mate, do you

I'm with you, though. Just get out of town. Go away for two or three days. Get on the drink and enjoy yourself. You've got to win. Time to strike. Now I think you understand the reason why we do counselling on the continuous call team, and Ray did all those years ago, is because whatever you're expecting to hear, you get the complete opposite.

Hasn't it been a big week for Mal Meninga and the Australian Kangaroos? Because Australia will host the 2026 Rugby League World Cup alongside Papua New Guinea. And earlier this week, it was announced that Mal, the Rugby League Immortal, is returning to the Canberra Raiders to work in a number of roles. I'm pleased to say the Kangaroos coach in Rugby League Immortal is on the line right now. G'day, Mal.

Afternoon, Mark. How are you? Mate, I'm very well. Lovely to catch up as always. How exciting, mate. 2026 Rugby League World Cup, Australia and PNG. Bring it on, eh? Yeah, absolutely. So it gives us some certainty, which is fantastic. So we've got something to plan towards. So yeah, looking forward to that.

in the next three years. But just on the back of just what I'd heard, please, I don't need any advice from your team. Have you got any problems you want me to help you with, Mel, or not? I've got plenty of problems. We'll learn that from you, big man. Fair enough. Hey, mate, just on the test matches, and congratulations on this. You've had an unbelievable career on the field, off the field, the whole thing. When's the next time Australia do play a test, mate? Is it one coming up at the end of the year?

No, there's the Pacific Champs at the end of the year. So Samoa heads over to... This is for the men's and women's. So I know Alana's there as well. So men's and women's. So we've got Samoa going over to England, obviously, and then we've got Tonga, New Zealand and Australia.

And us, we're playing the Pacific Championships. And then you've got, pardon me, Guinea, Fiji, and the Cook Islands playing in the Pacific Plate. So, yeah, men's and women's at the end of the year through October into November. Now, last year, the Aussies were beaten by New Zealand in that final. You obviously played the Kiwis two weeks in a row and got them the first week. But unfortunately, the final were beaten. So where's that? Is Australia ranked number two at the moment? Or where's our ranking? No, we're still one, Gail. So, yeah, I mean, that was...

Yeah, we're still trying to get over that, to be honest with you. The players can jump back on the bike and move on with their club commitments, but I'm still reeling from that situation.

Yeah, a loss, obviously. So there's a bit of work to do, you know, in it all. So still trying to work out what went wrong. But, you know, we're still ranked one, so we want to stay that way. Yeah, nice, man. One thing I've been wondering the past couple of years, I used to love playing in an Anzac Test before the Origin Series. Now, there hasn't been one played for a couple of years. Are they going to come back at all, do you know?

No, it's all the national program at the end of the year now. So obviously with Origin, we've got 27 rounds now in the National Rugby League. So unless it's obviously we have more teams in the comp and as Andrew Abdo mentioned through the week, they could look at a reduced competition. But where it stands at the moment, mate, is the international program will be through October and November after the season finishes.

Hey Mal, we recently heard of your recruitment back to the Raiders. I tell you what, my husband is a Raiders fan. He's absolutely pumped about it. Was it Sticky that called you to rope you in or how did it all come about?

Well, as you're probably all aware, I still live in Canberra, so I catch up with Ricky all the time. And, you know, we've been having a bit of a yarn about the club, obviously, but Donnie Furnham, the board, and Ricky obviously felt that, you know, I could be an asset to the club. And, you know, me, I'm raided through and through, you know, the green machine, and I'm very, very happy to help out. Not quite sure...

There's a whole multitude of opportunities there, obviously, but ambassadors or whatever that means, mentoring, leadership, that sort of stuff, I can help out in some way. So I just get called upon to do whatever is needed. I hopefully can help out. Mate, I think it's great news for you and the Raiders. I mean, it's where you belong, I think. I mean, I'm pretty sure that's where your heart's always been, and I think it's wonderful that you're doing it. I actually was with a Bulldogs ambassador the other day, Terry Lamb,

So I'll give you a tip what he said he does. He drinks and plays golf. So that's basically all he does. That's what an ambassador does. So you may have to take that up. Well, mate, that's two things I probably won't do. First and foremost, it's too cold. Have any of those down in Canberra. Maybe coffee. Maybe coffee and some sort of indoor sport would be good. Oh, stop it. Mate, but I'm so happy. When I read it, I thought this is...

Makes sense, doesn't it? This is perfect. This is, you know, your rate is legend and, you know, I think it's where your heart's always been and I think it's a great appointment. And you know what else too, Daryl, and Mal, I had Don Ferner on my sports program during the week and I said to Don, I said, you know, Mal's the perfect person to have involved in the club. One, he's a club legend, he's a rugby league immortal, but

And, you know, through your work with Fox, you probably watch more football than you ever had. So you've got a real good feel for the game. You understand the game better than most as an immortal and legend of the game. But you're familiar with all of the young blokes out there and those who need mentoring and a bit of guidance. And that's your role.

I appreciate all the nice comments with these guys. I feel comfortable. I'm excited with it all. I'm just privileged and honoured that they asked me to be involved. It wasn't too hard a question for them to actually put to me. I said yes more or less straight away. I do watch

a little bit of football, not only with the Fox commitments, but obviously with my Australian Kangaroos commitment as well. So, yeah, I mean, it's a nice fit. I live down there and I'm looking forward to helping out in some way. Great stuff. Well, Mal, congratulations, mate. Great news for Australia hosting the 2026 Rugby League World Cup alongside PNG and there's plenty of excitement up there at the moment.

given the impending addition to the National Rugby League. And, of course, with that news of you heading back to the Raiders, celebrated by a lot of the fans, including those who even watched your play back in the day. Congratulations, mate, and thanks for joining us. Thanks, team. Appreciate it. Thank you. Good on you, mate. If you need any advice, you know where to come, OK? Yeah, absolutely. We've got plenty of advice. LAUGHTER

I've got plenty of that. Oh, God. Oh, geez. All right. Okay. Thank you. See you, buddy. There he is, Mal Meninga, the kangaroos coach. And, of course, these days you see him on Fox as well. 131873, the number. Look, I've got to get to an Olympic update. We've got a couple of people, Andrew in Toowoomba and Ian at Terrigal. We've had hundreds and hundreds of calls, Darrell. Yeah, hold on. But we're going to weasel them down to Andrew in Toowoomba and Ian at Terrigal.

Okay. Okay, so you're ready to do some counselling after the break? Whenever you're ready. All right, so we'll take a break. On the way to the break, an Olympic update, and then we come back with Darrell Broman's continuous call team counselling.

A Paris 2024 Olympic Games update. Thanks to Harvey Norman, proud to be Australia's official retail partner. Powered by LG, partner of Nine's Olympic broadcast. G'day there, Mike Pearsall with your Olympics update. Well, with the opening ceremony now completed, the Games are officially underway. But we have had plenty of action already in football and rugby sevens. Our men's sevens side has had a blinder of a start to the Games.

reaching the semi-finals for the first time in history. The next match-up will be tough though, they'll play Fiji tonight, who has won gold at the last two Olympics. A win there will guarantee a medal at the Games for Australia, while a loss will still leave them a chance to win bronze. Not a fantastic start for the Matildas, they've been thrashed 3-0 by Germany in their women's football opener. The official day one of the Games lies ahead of us today.

and the medal tally will get up and running with silverware up for grabs in swimming, road cycling, diving and skateboarding. A stack of other sports are also getting underway, including basketball, beach volleyball, boxing, canoe slalom and rowing. That is the latest from Paris. I'm Mike Pearsall. That medal tally update was thanks to Toyota, Australian Olympic and Paralympic team partner. Oh, what a feeling.

Well, ladies and gentlemen, you ask, we deliver. They're here, Ray Hadley's counselling team. Turning your darkness into light. Solving your problems with their insight. Giving you strength, a heart that makes you sing. Ray Hadley's counselling team.

Well, I'll just act as the mediator in this process, Darrell. Okay. I'll let you deliver the advice. Well, I'm here to try and help people's lives and make it easier for them. Andrew's first at Toowoomba. G'day, Andrew. Hello, Mark. How are you? Very well, thank you, mate. How can we help you? Well...

Happened last weekend and my mate always comes up to have a cup of coffee with me at the Table of Knowledge and my wife was going away to an arts and crafts festival. And when she left, she was just about to go and my mate said, oh, how long are you going away for? I said, oh, I get back on the 28th or whatever it is.

And I said, oh, how's it going? And I kissed her goodbye and I came back to me mate and I said, how long's she away for? And he said, 11 days. And I said, it's a wide of amused look, Andrew. And I said, well, I thought she was only going away for three days. Now she's in day number 10, gets home tomorrow and it's been lonely. You know, I've been, I've had three games of golf. I've gone to,

pubs and mates and I went to a boxing night last night and a punt you know and I just I've had really mixed emotions you know it's pretty lonely well Andrew I'm glad you've called because Daryl is here ready and willing to offer you some advice mate can I Andrew when she gets home will it be like happy days for you and her together or what what will happen there

Oh, no, I think she'll walk in and I'll say, oh, you're home early, you know, something like that. So are you saying, is it fair for me to deduce from what you've told me, you've actually had a better time without it? No, it's been lonely. You don't sound lonely to me. You've been on the drink. I mean, you've been on the drink. You've been to the, where else did you go? You went to, where did you say you were? Played golf? Yeah. Been to the tab? That's not lonely. But that's heaven.

Will you go on your own? I'll do go on my own. I'm with you. Hang on, hang on. No, no, no. Guy wants to know who made your food all week. How'd you eat? Did you eat? Who washed you at night, though?

He washed you at night. Does your missus wash you? He's not wearing a nappy. You're not telling us your missus does. No, but we shower together sometimes. Well, you shower with your missus together. Hold on, Andrew. Don't get too excited listening to this. Just go through that again. What was it? You shower together with your wife. Yeah, we've got a big shower. And you wash her. We wash each other at times, yes. Not all the time, but at times. Do you use soap or the squeegee bits? Soap. Definitely soap. Do you do? Excuse my ignorance here. Ha ha ha.

Do you do the spots that she can't reach? Yes. Listen, you two, I'm getting very, very nervous. Look, Andrew, did you end up giving him some advice or not? I'm not sure. Andrew, what do you want me to tell you? Mate, I think you just grab her, charm her off her feet and see what happens from there on out.

No, you don't. I'll be doing... When she gets home, I'll be going out to dinner. You're right. You should take her, too. I tell you what, I'm glad he's not paying for his advice. You can't go out to dinner by yourself with your mates. I'll be taking your missus out to dinner. I want to squeeze in one more very quickly. Sorry, Andrew. Thank you, Andrew, for your call. Ian at Terrigal. Here we go. Hello, Ian. Yeah, g'day, guys. How are you? Good, mate. Good, good.

Mate, I've got a real problem. It's been going on for quite some time. My missus has got a terrible habit. She farts in bed at night time when we're asleep.

What do I do? This is a big one. When you're asleep. I would say just suck it up, mate. I mean, that's... Are you serious? Well, what do you want him to do? I didn't think women farted. Of course I do. Listen, all right, that's enough counselling. That's enough. Thank you, Ian. Just go for your life. You're a lucky bloke, Ian. That's a hardcore Dutch oven. This is life. This is part of everyday life. I know it's life, but it's also national radio. Every single person out there is part of life. Why do you get gassy around here?

Yeah, we've got the first of our NRL games getting underway in the next five minutes. For those people who missed the team news, thanks to Coles, when the win with the Winter of Sports giveaway on now at Coles. Corey Oates to the bench, Tyson Smoothie to 18th man. And for the Bulldogs, Stephen Crichton out with a neck injury, Jacob Kras to the centres, and Jarrell Skelton starts in the wing. Hayes Perham is the 18th man. There you are. The team news, of course, as we do it for Coles.

win with the Winters of Sports giveaway on now at Coles. That was very funny. Counselling. Counselling is good. I mean, we've always been good at counselling. It's just fallen by the wayside. But, you know, I'm here to help, mate. I think we should bring it back. I think it should be more full-time. Big man and G-string counselling. You know what we'll do? We've probably got another couple of months left in this great show before we have a little break over the summer months. We'll do two more. We'll do one a month.

Every couple of weeks, every three weeks or so, we'll do a counselling session. All right. Well, I'm happy with that. I think the punters, you know, they need it, mate, because a lot of people out there, they're not smart when it comes to life.

And you are. And you're perfect. I'm not saying perfect. I'm just smart. I'm just good at it. Or as Gail said earlier, I'm cleverer. I just give good advice, but I don't often take it myself. All right. Good to speak to you. What if we need advice? Oh, we need advice. No, we need help. We need help. See, Lever, you need advice and help. No, I'm fine.

I'm fine. You think you'll find someone at your restaurant? That's probably the next thing. I've already met a couple of people at their wonderful little restaurant. Wonderful. What do you mean? When you say you've met a couple of people, you mean like possible... Chicks. Chicks already. Going out stuff. Yeah, last couple of mornings, the ladies come in. But they come in by themselves. Yeah, by themselves. And what do you say? How are you doing? I just strike up a conversation. Being the owner, I welcome them to the place and...

all of a sudden single ready to mingle. Are you going to leave a number on the coffee cup? I was very clever, Fergo. When you take the order, you can put their details into the system. I said, can I grab your number there? Leave it. That's good from you. Why don't you write your number on top of the next

Yeah, you should give them your number. If you know how you've got to write X, what, whatever, just write your phone number on there too. Look, I'm not going to take love advice from you or you. Thanks very much. Many things in life are unpredictable, like if your team will make it to the finals this year. Get off somebody. There are some things you can count on.

We'll be whipping around the grounds and covering the Olympic Games to the best of our ability from the David Woodhouse.

Morro Olympic Studio. Of course, Ray Hadley's in Paris. Matthew Hill is in Paris broadcasting the athletics for us. And they'll both be joined by Jane Fleming and Libby Trickett, two decorated Olympians in their own rights as well. But as far as the footy is concerned, last night there were two games played with the Melbourne Storm beating Parramatta 32-14 and the Warriors beating the West Tigers 142.

by 28 points to 16. Now in the NRLW competition, round one, 12-10, Knights beat the Roosters, 14-0 Sharks over the Cowboys. And in the game earlier at Suncorp, the Parramatta Eels beat the Broncos by 22 points to 10. Our number 131873. You can email us via the website. You can text us as well, 0460873. And of course, live action later on tonight, which you'll hear with the continuous call team, Jamie Soward on deck,

and Chris Warren as well. So it's all happening. And just on the NRLW competition, I thought Ruan Sim spoke really well at the launch this week alongside Andrew Abdo. And this is what our colleague from Nine's Wide World of Sports had to say. We'll get there in just a second. So here is Roo right now.

I know Kezi, I know Ali, myself all have the same story where we had to stop playing when we got too old to play with the boys. Now we have genuine competition all the way through for girls to play football from juniors all the way through to Gilles Rousse to steal one of the NRL's taglines. And I think that is probably the most exciting thing. And I know some of the players hear this, but the impact that you guys have on these juniors can't be...

Underestimated whatsoever. Because I know when I go to clinics or see young girls out and about, what I love hearing now is, I'm going to play for the Tigers. I'm going to go play for the Sharks. I want to play for the Broncos. I want to play for the Roosters. And these are junior girls coming through where...

We wanted to probably, or we wished that was something for us, but it wasn't genuinely possible. Now it is, and these women are at the forefront of that. Yeah, Ruan Sims at the launch during the week. And, Fergo, you've been a part of this your whole life, and you were one of those young women that Ruan spoke about. But the growth and growth of the game, it's exciting, not only for Rugby League, but for all the young women and young girls that want to play Rugby League. And we always talk about where it was.

I want to ask you where we're heading. Where do you see NRLW and Women's Rugby League in, say, 10 years' time? Well, 10 years' time, I think it'll be a completely different prospect. Look, it's heading in such a great direction. I know the NRL want to have the same amount of NRLW clubs as we do NRL. And the trajectory that it's on, the growth of the women's game, but the pathways coming through is obviously key. But it's really positive. Like, it's through the roof. Like...

Ru sort of touched on it, you know, not being able to play footy. I didn't watch NRL for at least two years. I was so filthy. But now we've got girls playing from...

the age of whenever they can walk. I think I started playing when I was like four turning five right the way through. So they're passing the footy, they're kicking the footy, they're, you know, playing those games week in, week out. So not only will the game continue to grow and we'll get more teams, but I think it's really important that those kids get the opportunity, obviously both girls and boys, but those girls get the opportunity to play right the way through and that will increase the product, the entertainment factor for all of us watching as well from home.

because they've just been doing it their whole lives. I think at the start of NRLW, we saw some girls come over from different codes and some that just simply hadn't played that much footy. So I think it'll go through the roof. And I reckon maybe in the next four or five years, we're really going to see an extremely positive product. I think obviously in our games, there's still some areas to fix up the kicking game. I still think we need to change the size of the footy as well to, um,

just match up how women's bodies are built, but the product's going to go through the roof, just simply getting to play right the way through. Like it'll be a complete game changer. We've already started to see a couple of those girls come through the 19s origin game this year. Unbelievable. Like they're physical, they're athletic,

They play footy. They understand how to play footy. But, yeah, the next three to five years is going to be massive. It's exciting for the game. It really is. And I was thinking the other exciting announcement this week was that one of the games in Las Vegas is going to be shown in two games.

United States homes, virtually. 126 million people or something they said in the paper. Free to air, wasn't it? Free to air, only the one game. But you think about the four games across that particular day, Wigan and Warrington. Piggy Riddell was in here last night showing me that I think Warrington or Wigan, one of them, has already sold out the packages to Vegas. So they're doing another tour to try and get people over there and some more people. Throw in the women's test match.

the two NRL games, gee, it's exciting. It's got to be massive, isn't it? And I think that's always where the NRL were heading to get that exposure in the States as well because obviously we did really well with it over here and everyone sort of tuned in and there were so many positives to come out of it. But that's what we need in terms of growing the game and even just getting some athletes from the States over here. But I sort of reckon the way to...

to target it, you know, maybe it's for the next five-year goal is to get into the colleges. Their college sport in America is massive. So the exposure will be crucial. And then same as anything, launch off the back of that momentum. And Darrell, you and Gal, you were over in Vegas with us as well. I couldn't believe how many pommies were there. And, you know, I got stuck talking to a lovely couple from England who actually listened to the Continuous Call Team podcast. And they said, Mark, it's easier for us to get to Vegas. It's a 10-hour flight.

as opposed to flying to Australia to watch the NRL, Daryl. So that's another reason why they're going to get the Vegas. Oh, it's a no-brainer, Mark. You're right. There were a lot of pommies over there. In fact, there was a real lot of them over there. Heaps. I couldn't believe it. And I was the same. I couldn't believe it either. And it was a no-brainer to have a couple of English sides playing over there. I think it's a brilliant idea. I must admit, four games in one day is a lot. And I suppose I'm yet to be convinced by that. But...

I love the fact that you've got the two English sides playing. You've got a test match between Australia and who are they playing? They're playing England. England, is it? I mean, fantastic. And then you've got the Cronulla and the Aussie teams. It's going to be great. And just sorry to interrupt, Gail, but I think they've done it really well with the scheduling. So they'll start in the morning back here in Australia with the England game. Then they play an NRL game. Then they play the women's test match, which...

We'll keep a few of the Pommie supporters around to watch and cheer on the Lionesses, I think they're called, the England women's team. And then, of course, the late game will be another NRL match. But here's the announcement from the NRL. The Raiders-Warriors match will be broadcast live in the United States on Fox, which has a distribution of 125 million homes in the US. The Panthers-Sharks match and Australia-England women's international test match will be both televised on Fox Sports 1,

in the US and Wigan-Warrington match on Fox Soccer Plus in the US, Gals. So that's 125 million people. If we get one, two percent of that, we're laughing, aren't we? Well, that's what I think the idea of it is, particularly around, I suppose, betting money also. But I think it's a great concept. There is lots of problems over there, as we said. I just came up with the idea last year. I remember saying it to Andrew Abdo when I was over there. I said they should play the World Club Challenge. Yeah, I thought so too. But obviously, if they're not playing,

If they were to play the World Club Challenge, one of the four clubs, if they win the comp going over there, that'd have to be a club on standby. So they probably can't arrange that at this point in time. So they're playing the World Club Challenge a week before, from what I understand. But look, I think the whole thing's outstanding. I think it's also smart from the NRL's point of view if they can get him, if they got Tom Brady on board.

Well, the mail is he's going to do some commentary. Oh, really? Absolutely. They're chasing Tom Brady. That's a big deal. I mean, that's massive. If they could get him, you know, he's going to cost a fortune. We all know that. But I think it could be money well spent for him. Can I say this about, and I don't want to sound like a suck to Peter Volandis. I've known him a long time. He was one of my first bosses at Harold Park Trots when I was running around for the tab with money for the tote ladies and all that sort of thing.

In my experience with PVL, the Australian Rugby League Commission Chairman, if he puts his mind to something, he makes it happen. He doesn't care about the doubters, the critics, you name it. He will do it. He's done it with the Everest in racing. And, you know, a lot of people congratulated him and thanked him for what he did for rugby league to get it through COVID. Remember, he was the only sport that decided to play rugby league and everybody else fell into line. A lot of people forget he did the same with equine influenza when it hit the racing industry. So I think while...

we look at the administrators we've got at the moment, we should be very thankful that we've got people like Andrew Abdo and Peter Volandis. Not wanting, again, to sound like a suck, but I'll give credit where it's due and they both deserve it. It's definitely due. I agree with you. I don't know them all that well. I've met them a few times and, you know, they've been great to this station, but

they have done a phenomenal job. I mean, you've got to call it as you see it. And they've done a phenomenal job. I mean, the way they're promoting the game and the things they've done for the game. And, you know, you forget about the COVID situation. Most of the competition shut down, you know, but the NRL kept going. You move them all up to Queensland and they all managed to survive. Yeah.

I can't remember the grand final. Was it Penrith and somebody? I can't remember who it was. But we got a season out of it. It kept us in a job. It kept something for the people. Everyone was doing it really tough in COVID, really tough. But it gave them something to look forward to. And think about where the game's at now. They're still looking at ways to grow the game. The Las Vegas, the women's game's going through the roof. The pathways are looking really healthy. They think outside the box, don't they? 100%.

And just find a way to make it happen. Exactly right. And, you know, it doesn't matter how many people say, ah, no, he doesn't know what he's doing. You know, he picks fights with other codes. He picks fights with other racing bodies. But it's effective because he gets the headlines, he gets the media attention, and that brings the people through the gates. Well, just my firsthand experience with both of them, Peter and Andrew, they're very good listeners. They're always willing to come in and ask the question. They'll listen. They'll take it on board and still make their executive decisions. But...

They're not just sitting there on their high horse, you know, making things up and putting it out there. Like, they're listening to what people want, taking it on board and then making those decisions. Yeah, it's working very well. Levy, even last year when they had it in Vegas, I mean, besides the actual day of the football, one of the great things they did was have that

that thing in Fremont Street. It was phenomenal. I couldn't believe it. But there were that many Aussies there. There were that many Pommies there. And there were quite a few Americans there. You know, there really was. And it was jovial, wasn't it? It was fantastic. And I think, well, it'll happen again next year when they go over there, no doubt about that, because it was such a success. And you were on stage. You did a brilliant job, I think. Were you on stage? I was on stage, yes.

You did a brilliant job. Thanks, big man. It's going to be huge. How many were at the ground on the day? I think it was 40-something. Yeah, 40-something. I reckon they'll sell it out this time. It'll be much better. What's it hold, 60? Yeah, just over 60. Everyone who went last year will probably go again. Obviously, the new team's going to go again. Everyone's spoken about how good it was. People just want to go and see how good it is. You've got the Pommies going over, the women going over. It's going to be...

It's going to be bigger and better. It's going to be huge. And look, I'm the first person, and I've had a running battle with Andrew Abdo over a number of issues and some of the decisions he's made. And I've also been critical of Peter Volandis. But like Daryl just said, you've got to call it as you see it. And how anyone can be critical of what they're doing by trying to grow the game, go into the United States. And look, some people get caught up in the whole gambling thing.

The money is then reinvested into rugby league. So as much as you might not like gambling, that's where a lot of the money comes from sponsorship and all that sort of thing. So, you know, you've got to take the good with the bad sometimes. And I think they're doing a great job. You know who else is doing a great job? The Bulldogs. They lead 12-0 over the Broncos, 18 gone first half. You know what? They look way better than the Broncos. They look like they want to be there. Broncos going great. And you know what was great about America last week, Vegas? Mm-hmm. Gal.

pronouncing to the world, he's a pioneer of this game. Pioneer of the sport. You're a pioneer of the sport. How much of Vegas do you remember, Gal? I remember all of it. I mean, every single bit of it. I just don't understand how people can say I'm not a pioneer. I'm not saying I'm the sole pioneer. No. I'm saying you're a pioneer as well. Really? What did I do to pioneer stuff? I've said that to you before. Well, we were the first ones over there. We went over there, promoted our game to the world, and it was a success. How?

How is that not leading the way? A pioneer is leading the way, going there first. So are we both pioneers? We're pioneers, brother. You know what? I've just looked up the actual dictionary definition of pioneer, and you're probably right. I am right, yes. Because it says here, the noun for pioneer, a person who is among the first to explore or settle a new country or area. So everything I've said is 100%. You're a pioneer too, Levi. You were there too. We're all pioneers. We were there. I don't think Alana was a pioneer. I was meant to be there. Let's not bring it up.

I'm still filthy about it. What happened? Who let you down? Someone pulled a pin? Yep.

Oh, no. Well, no. Let us know who. What happened? Name names. I can't. I was invited. I was, yeah. Conflict of work. Conflict of work. Put it that way. Well, you can come on my tour this year for a small fee. I'm going up against the people's champion, the NRL, everyone. I'm still going on with it. Well, Darrell, you know what we'll do? We'll plug Ray's tour. So if you'd like to join Ray Hadley on a tour for his morning show, they go to Hawaii and everything else, you can get all the details by just Googling, I think, Ray Hadley Vegas Hot

Whatever. And Daryl, hang on. I'm giving his a rap and I'm about to give yours a rap. What's yours called? Big Man Does Vegas. Do you want yours to be better? Premium sports. Do you want yours to be better? I reckon me and you should do one. No, you're out. Okay, fine. Awesome, mate. You and me, Roman and the G-string, mate, we would kill it. We would kill it. We would have a ball. The G-string does Vegas. You'll end up one of those gentlemen. I'd pay not to go.

I accidentally walked into one. Did you really? What was it like? Was it an accident? There was this mess. So where we stayed, we stayed at where the teams were staying, and I walked across the road to just get a few things because I don't like using the minibar, so I'd just go and buy a bottle of drink and just some nibblies or whatever.

So I was walking along the street. I just went for a walk. And I got to this massive building, this massive car park. I thought, oh, what's this? I'll just go and have a look. 100%. I'd go to a strip club in Vegas. I wondered why the people at the front door were so welcoming. I walked in and went, whoa, hello there. Let's go. Did you have to pay? Was it expensive? No, no, I didn't have to pay anything. So you walked into a...

A men's gentlemen's club for free. Well, when I got an Uber to the ground the next day, I said, oh, what's the name of that joint? He goes, oh, hey, man, that's one of the best strip clubs in Vegas. Really? So it was pretty impressive. And did you say, wasn't it ever? I didn't stay long enough. Didn't you? Didn't stay long enough.

Did you buy a bottle of water over there? No, because there was prying eyes over there. Did you buy a bottle of water? It was like $8. Mate, ridiculous. $15 at one place. I went to $15 US for a bottle of water. That was just to put over your head to cool down a bit. No, not at a strip club. Downstairs at the hotel. I'm sure you earned a lot more money while you were there, mate.

No, I didn't earn any money. I'm trying to think who made the comment in Vegas because there was all the water running down the gutters in Las Vegas and someone said it's the ice melting or something. Yeah, so the bloke told me. We were in a taxi or an Uber or something and I said, mate, where's all this water coming from? Because we drove down to go under a casino, I think, and he said it's the ice melting from the mountains over there. And I thought he was gearing up, but he was fair dinkum. Is he serious? What? It's actually true. Middle of the desert. That's what he said. The bloke, he had a straight face. I mean, he must have thought I was an idiot.

He could have been right, because there was water rushing down this driveway where you go down under one of the... I'm so confused. I thought, mate, where's this coming from? He said, no, it's coming from those mountains over there. It's a desert. I know it gets cold in the desert in wintertime, but that wouldn't be... Is that their winter? Oh, mate, that's what he told me, mate. I think he's lying. The scariest thing for me in Vegas was we got into this Uber, myself and I can't remember who was with me, it might have been Josh or Piggy, and we got picked up in this big, like,

one of those big square van things. And the bloke, he was an old veteran. He said, how are you doing? You're from Australia. You're here for the rugby. And Piggy or whoever says, no, no, we're here for the rugby league. It's not rugby union, mate. It's rugby league. He said, yeah, right. You've been smart. Yeah, he's been smart. And I said, how do you deal with sort of, you know, drunk idiots in Las Vegas? And he pulled out this massive big baseball bat. He said, see this? Oh, my God. I said, oh, wow. He said, you reckon that's bad. You should see what's in the back seat. I said, what's in the back seat? He says, I'm packing, man.

man. Like what? He had a gun. He had a gun. I'm surprised you didn't get it and shoot Piggy. Unbelievable. Piggy wasn't the problem over there. Who do you reckon is not controlled by his wife but

She has a fair say in her. Gal. J-Moz. Gal. You're going to get yourself in strife here, mate. Are you saying J-Moz is henpecked? Well, a little bit. When J-Moz was in Vegas, J-Moz let loose. J-Moz did Vegas. J-Moz was Vegas. So are you saying to J-Moz's wife, and I don't know. No, no, I'm not saying anything. I'm not saying anything. Let's not go there. You've done this to yourself. You would be saying, I wouldn't be letting J-Moz cut loose in Hawaii.

No, no, no, no, no, no. It was just funny that Jamos, who's normally pretty proper, quiet, just let loose. He probably had three nights where he didn't go to sleep. He loved those. Every time I saw him, he had one of those big tins of beer. He just didn't stop. I've got to get to a break here desperately, but I'll tell you a funny story. So when we went over there, we had a whole – because we've got a big network of radio stations. So we were all given a list of radio crosses we had to do. Josh had about, I don't know, 10 to do.

So we're in the middle of Fairmont Street or whatever it was. And there was one coming up. I'd just done about four of them. And I'm looking at Josh. He's over with Gal and I think there was a few other people there. And he was holding two beers and he was drinking out of another one that was being tipped into his mouth. That's great. And I got his attention and I said, are you doing a cross?

He said no. So I ended up doing all of his crosses. You know what, Levy? We need to discuss something about that, what you're talking about there, because I was supposed to do so, but I couldn't work out my phone. What's the best way to use your phone if you go over there? Do you buy another SIM card or you just use the number you've got here and pay? Good question. Just get roaming.

I've got roaming, but how much does it cost? It costs like $10 a day. Does it? Is that all it is? This year I'm doing that. If you're an international traveller, ladies and gentlemen, you've been to Vegas or you've been to other countries, what do you do? Do you buy another SIM? Do you use your international roaming? What's the best way to do it? I'm not really a big traveller, so I can't really answer the question. If you can help us out, 131873, the number you can text us, 0460 873 873. 12-0, Canterbury leading Brisbane, 15 left first half. We are the continuous call team.

Continuous call team back around the grounds, Doggies in again, Matt Burton lining up a conversion attempt, he's kicked two from two, they lead 16-0 Canterbury over Brisbane, he moves in, left boot strikes and oh jeez that's a shocker, it's away to the right. So score remains 16-0 Canterbury leading Brisbane, 13 and a half minutes left in the first half, we do that for Uber Reserve. Just before we get to some calls, a quick plug...

The Beer, Food and Footy Festival is on today at Henson Park. Three o'clock this afternoon. It's underway as we speak. The Jets taking on the Eels in the New South Wales Cup. It's happening at Henson Park right now. Entry via Sydenham Road. Bubbling with energy. Providing five huge inflatable castles. PWA Wrestling will be happening in between games. NRL Development Skills Clinic.

We'll be set up on the western side of the field and plenty of dessert goodies available to purchase as well. There'll be 25 food vendors serving a range of food, German, Japanese, Greek, Mexican, Italian, Indian, desserts and more gluten-free options available and a range of beers from 26 brewers from inner west, New South Wales and interstate brewers. And they'll have the Pro Wrestling Australia taking to the field tomorrow.

and at halftime is a DJ spinning tunes throughout the event. So it sounds like a lot of fun. Beer, food and footy festival at Henson Park. Great stuff. Actually, I was involved in one at North Sydney earlier this year. It is a great day. Did you do something for them? I actually done something a couple of weeks ago. I went to a lot of the breweries in there, around Barrickville and Newtown. It's going to be a great day. It is a great day. Awesome. Righto, Daryl, there's a few people here ready to help you re-overseas travel and what to do with the phone. Vicky's first up at Guildford. Hello, Vicky.

Hi there. There's a new thing out now called an eSIM, so you don't actually need to buy a physical SIM card. You can just upload an electronic SIM to your current phone, keep your current number, and just buy a package, and they're pretty reasonable. Okay. So you just download or upload, I don't know what the difference is, into your phone, and you just use it like you'd normally use your phone?

Yeah, yeah. So you create a new name for it. And so when you're over in Las Vegas or wherever you are, you switch that eSIM on and switch your primary one off. So really easy. I managed it. So if I can manage it, anyone can manage it. Yeah, I'm technically an imbecile.

Are they expensive, by the way? No, no. It cost me about, I think for 10 gigabytes, it cost me about

I don't know, $12 Australian. All right, I'll certainly look at that eSIM. I tell you what, not having to go to a shop, that's the winner. You know what, I get so frustrated. I've been away so many times and in the end, I actually worry about it. I don't want to come home and get a bill for $500 on my phone, but I'll look into both of them. Good stuff. Thanks, Vicky. I'm honestly like computer and IT illiterate, but you just go overseas.

Or you don't do anything? No, you don't do nothing. It costs you $10 a day. That's all it is. It's not that hard. So you don't, do you put your, whatever it's called, don't you have to switch something on and off? Nothing. You roaming? What about you roaming? Mine must always be on because I just go overseas and use my phone as normal. And of course, when I get over there, I land in the country, I get a text message saying you are now in America. It'll cost you $10 a day to use your phone unlimited, whatever you want.

Well, how does that work? I landed in America and it said I'm in Fiji. I wasn't in Fiji. I was in America. Well, that's your phone's fault, not mine. But I came from Fiji, so maybe it was just a delayed text message. Anyway, all right, let's keep going. Derek's at Croydon. Hello, Derek.

Hey, how are you going? Hello. Gal is right there, but he's getting charged too much. It's only $5 international roaming per day with Vodafone. So maybe if you showed some initiative and called your server... Yeah. Well, you know what? I'll save... Yeah, show some initiative. Mate, I...

I don't have to do anything. I just turn up and work. So you just turn up and work. I just turn up and work. You don't do anything? Nothing. Andy might have done it for me years ago, but it just works, okay? And it cost me, maybe it only cost me $5. I'm not too sure. Maybe it was $10. I don't know. Vodafone's I think is $5. Yeah, I'm Telstra. Thank you for the call, Derek. One more before we get to an Olympic update. Carmel in Cronulla. Hello, Carmel.

Yes, what about using WhatsApp? You can just, you need Wi-Fi, but you can do it in your hotel room and it's free. You can ring, you can text message. You know what? You can send photos. You've reminded me, Carmel, I think I did use WhatsApp last year. That is the easy way to do it. It's free, isn't it? It costs you nothing. As long as you've got Wi-Fi. Yeah, there's Wi-Fi everywhere, bro. Isn't it? What if you're in the street and you've got to do a radio cross? The Wi-Fi.

Oh, that's why I couldn't do them last year. That's why you couldn't. You're on the drinky booze. I was walking the streets a lot. Thank you, Carmel. People call me a tight arse. What? Mate, just $10 a day. I'm not just going to go over there and just take pot luck.

It's probably already on your phone. Have you got a plan? Listen, Gal, as Stephen Blocker-Roach used to say on this program, by failing to prepare, you're preparing to fail. I'm prepared. I'm totally prepared. 100%. You can't run your life. How often have I been overseas past couple of years? Every year. And when I turn up there, my phone works. Just stop. You know why you can't do anything right? Why? Because what did you do recently at Suncorp Stadium for Origin 3? You forgot. You forgot.

your pass. What do you do every Saturday when you come in here? You've got no pass. Andrew's got to run downstairs. What do you do every Saturday? You ring Andrew. Where are we? Where are we doing the show? You've got no idea. That's true. No, that's not true at all. None of that's true. Oh, rough. Besides the pass. Andrew, hang on. I'm turning Gal off and I'll leave the other two on. Andrew, confirm or deny because I've heard you are a double agent giving me up on other things. This man, is he hopeless?

Thank you. Thank you. Prosecution rest, ladies and gentlemen. He's an honest man too. He is. He's a very good man too. Very proud Greek-Australian. Your microphone's off. You turned off for a reason. Keep it off. Back around the grounds for Uber Reserve. 16 points to four. Canterbury leading Brisbane. Nine minutes left in the first half. Time for an Olympic update.

G'day there, Mike Pearsall with your Olympic update. Well, a quick catch-up of the preliminary days of action to bring you up to speed. Our men's rugby seven side is absolutely flying.

They are through to the semis for the first time and will face Fiji tonight for a place in the gold medal match. Post Nation France is also into the final four. It'll play South Africa, who scraped into the quarterfinals despite losing two of its three group games. In women's football, sadly for our Matildas, they've gone down to Germany 3-0 in their opener.

Skipper Steph Catley says that they were given a wake-up call. With the opening ceremony being held this morning, day one of the Games officially kicks off tonight with all nations on the medal table sitting at zero. The night session for swimming will be one you won't want to miss with what's being billed as the race of the century. Aussie Ariane Titmuss will go head-to-head with Katie Ledecky and Summer McIntosh in the women's 400 freestyle with a gold medal on the line. Set your alarms early. Could be the first of many gold medals for Australia.

I'm Mike Pearsall with the latest from Paris. That Paris 2024 medal tally was thanks to NRMA Insurance, a help company.

21 minutes to four and the countdown continues to the first official day of competition at the Olympic Games in Paris. And we'll be on air from the David Morrow Olympic Studio to cover it all. 9.30 we'll be on air with our coverage of the Olympic Games after the footy. So we'll recap what's happened in the pool. I know Bill Woods will be keeping an eye on the boomers. So Bill will keep an eye on that for us and report in. Gordon Bray standing by for Rugby Sevens. Some hockey as well. And look, I might even try football.

calling some skateboarding and some surfing and all those sorts of things. You'd be good at that. I'm looking forward to it. Yeah, I'd just have a bit of fun. We're in the entertainment business. You'd be hanging 10, like we used to use hanging 10 on the surfing course. Well, if someone catches a good wave, you know what I'm going to say? What are you? Cowabunga, dude. Oh,

Oh, my God. That was a radical drive. Can you please say, oh, he's in the green room. Please say that. He's in the green room. He's pulled the curtain down in the green room. Can you please say that? Unbelievable barrel here. Yes. Incredible. She looked like Luke Cavell's daughter's in the skateboarding. Who? Luke Cavell. Yeah, she's a gun club. She's only like 12 or 13. She's a proper legend. She's a gun. All right, okay. She's sick. By the way, there's another surfing term. I should be on the commentary team. Just a sick way, bro.

Throw the Aussie bogan in. Good time to reserve your ride for tonight's game with Uber Reserve. Reserve now, ride later with Uber Reserve. Speaking of tonight's games, Roosters Manly. This should be an absolute cracker as we gear up for this one at Allianz Stadium. 7.35 kickoff. And the reason I wanted to zero in on it is because they are playing for the Gotcha for Life Cup.

Thank you very much.

All we have is politicians standing there talking about, you know, the need for us to do more on mental health related issues. And they stand there and they, you know, just lip service. You've got to talk to people. You've got to do this. Well, why don't you put your money where your mouth is? To the federal government, to the opposition, and start putting money where your mouth is by injecting funds into organisations like this that are actually making a difference. Gotcha for life. The founder is Gus Warland, and I'm pleased to say he's on the line. Hello, Gussie.

Yeah, g'day, Levi. Thank you, mate. I couldn't have said that better myself. Yeah, that's exactly what it's about. But when I talk to politicians, they tell me that, you know, prevention is very, very difficult to sort of gauge, which means it's not in the voting policy of two or three years of then getting in election again. So I need bipartisan, both parties to come together.

and say, right, the next 20 years, we're all gonna fund this to these organizations and we're gonna make a bloody difference because generationally, people do talk about it more than when I was growing up. But if we don't start putting money into prevention, we'll just have to keep putting more money into crisis and they need it.

as well. So, yeah, I would love that support from TGB and obviously, you know, my radio station, we're trying to do our best too. Yeah, absolutely, Gus. And, you know, we'll support you and we've always been a big supporter and a big fan of your work, that's for sure. And you're right, it doesn't matter whether you vote Labor, Liberal, whether you vote the Nats, whether you vote the Greens.

Mental health is a real problem and it is claiming the lives of too many Australians on a daily, a minute basis. And some of the figures that you rattled off to me, Gus, the other day, I just couldn't believe it. Can you repeat some of those numbers? I don't want to catch you off guard here, but just repeat some of those numbers to put it into perspective for people. Mate, I know the numbers in brain, in my, in my head, seven men a day, every day, two women every day. That's nine Aussies that,

that woke up this morning won't wake up tomorrow morning. And then that same thing will happen on Sunday into Monday, Monday into Tuesday. And on top of that, when you're talking about the minutes, 65,000 Australians attempt to take their own life every single year. That's one every few minutes. So in the time I've sort of finished talking to you guys, and by the time I get to Allianz tonight, and by the time the game finishes tonight at sort of 10 o'clock,

we'll probably have 15, 20 people attempted a suicide in this country alone. So it's not good enough. And we can't just keep talking about the crisis. We need to prevent it from happening. And that's by building mental fitness. And this is what this match is about tonight. You must be blown away by the support you've been given by the rugby league community, in particular, the Roosters and Manly who have jumped on board for the Gotcha for Life Cup.

Oh, incredible. But every club, to be honest with you, Levi, they all got behind us. Friday before Magic Round, every single club tipped in money towards Gotcha for Life. And we're doing work at the moment with every single club. We want to make rugby league the gold standard for mental fitness. They're already the gold standard for physical fitness. But what's going on with the invisible muscles in our heads today?

the ones that are even more powerful than our arms and our legs, the ones that make us make good and bad decisions. We don't work enough on those invisible muscles. We're not getting mentally fit enough. So, yeah, Peter Valhandy, every time I ask him, he goes, mate, let's do this. And every club got behind us. And so far we're working with the Sharkies, with South Sydney, the Roosters, the Panthers, Parramatta,

Other clubs are just waiting for timing in their schedules for us to do work with them. So, yeah, Rugby League has been absolutely brilliant. And tonight, you know, Shaw & Partners, one of Manly's supporters, and Unibet have given us part of their jersey where there normally is. They've tipped in $100,000 in each. We get the jerseys auctioned off. So we could make $250,000 tonight, which would be absolutely sensational for a small little charity like ours.

Gassie, you know I love what you're doing, but what about for everyone heading to the footy tonight? A part of the Got Your Full Life Cup? I'm sad I can't be there, but at halftime there's a big touch footy match going on. Tell everyone about that and who's playing. I'm not sure if you're taking the piss, Lani, or not. No, I'm not. I wish I could play. Cooking number three.

Charity game, in adverted commas. I've got a whole lot of boxers, lifesavers, old rugby league players and myself are playing in a charity touch footy match. Bill Harrigan's going to be refereeing. And I was just texting him saying, are we going to be able to kick? Because I really want to have that sort of cross field bomb for me to sort of leap up above and put one of those moves on. Gussie, I didn't know you were playing. Maybe I should have stepped in pregnant and all. Hang on, Gussie. Did you just say you're going to leap up and take a bomb? No.

I think he's going to kick. Have you just declared that? That's my thought, Gail, whether or not I can actually do it or not. That's great. Dream big. He gave me his pair of his boots. I've got the brand-new spanking blue, like light blue Nike boots. I'm all ready to go, and it's going to be a heap of fun. And tonight, you know, lots of chances to support Gottschalk at the game too. But as I spoke to Manly this week and the Roosters this week, huge game, you know, fourth versus fifth. And if the Roosters win, they get a little bit –

bit clear and if they lose they're back into that pack around fifth sixth seventh eighth ninth and tenth so yeah absolutely enormous um but obviously i'm very excited that both clubs have for the third year running have um have really got behind the gotcha for life cup fantastic well gus you keep up the good work mate and uh we'll see you out there tonight or uh the listeners that are heading out to the footy we'll see you tonight and and good luck with everything and you know you've got our support when it comes to gotcha for life

I really appreciate that. I love it's the Dave Morrow room in terms of the Olympics. Well done. I heard that when I was on there. I know how much he meant to all of you guys and to all the listeners that loved him. And I only met him a few times, but what an absolute gentleman. And that's a lovely tribute you've done there for him. So well done on that. Good on you, mate. We'll catch up soon, Gussie.

Okay, guys. Bye. See you, legend. There he is, Gus Warland. Of course, our mate. He works over at Triple M. But, of course, what he's doing at the moment with Gotcha for Life is just extraordinary. And let's hope those politicians are listening and they at least sit him down, listen to what he's got to say and start putting their money where their mouth is.

We have clue number three in the Saturday footy quiz. This is for the $150 Lowe's digital gift card. Clue number three, I've signed with the Roosters next season. I've signed with the Roosters next season. We gave it away with our conversation a little earlier. If you know the answer, 1-300-722-873. 1-300-722-873. First caller with the...

Correct answer will win the $150 Lowe's digital gift card. Lowe's, 100% Australian owned, still a family business. They have over 200 stores nationwide. You can shop online all there at Lowe's. By the way, around the grounds, Uber Reserve, New South Wales Cup. Halftime, the Jets leading the Eels 22-6 at Henson Park. And halftime in the NRL, the Bulldogs up 16-10 Australian.

over the Brisbane Broncos. I think we've got a winner already because the phone is ringing and the boys are talking to somebody. So, Chad Townsend going to the Roosters. We've already spoken about it. So, just to put everything to bed, everything's good, you're all sweet, no dramas. No issues, mate. Honestly, I can't believe how much publicity this has brought. It was like, how long ago? Three or four weeks ago? You've got plenty of headlines. But it is big news if two high-profile blokes

who won a premiership together, was sort of a little bit...

towards each other. Yeah, but what do your blokes say? I think you have arguments with a lot of blokes. I love it. But maybe you argue every week. But I just love, Paul, that you've sorted it out. Yeah, we have. Life's not about holding grudges. Just move on. No, actually, I totally agree with what Dale said before. Life's too short. It is, mate. I went to his 18th, his 21st, and his wedding. So, I mean, got a long history with him and he's a good fella. So, do you hope the Sharks bash the crap out of him? Well, I hope the Sharks win. I hope the Sharks win. I hope they give it to him. Yeah, yeah.

Well, he's opposition. When you're on the field, you cross that wild line, you've got a job to do. So, yeah, I actually hope they do. I'm just staring at you. No, I'm answering that honestly. I hope they do beat him up. So just bash the crap out of him? Bash the crap out of him. Okay, fair enough. Get in for me, boys. Now, gee, it's been cold, Gal. After a big career in footy, I bet you feel those aches and pains on a chilly winter's morning. Yeah, I know. Waking up in my spinal ease bed, though. Has it changed your life? Well, it does most Saturday mornings, but, yeah, didn't this morning. This winter, why not do what, 1,000?

Oh,

I was hoping she wasn't going to come up. I realised what the attitude was all about. Wow. Let's get back to the Spinal Ease. Spinal Ease bed and pillow. Honestly, it is amazing. I have woken up healthy and feeling great every day. It'll have you sleeping deeper, longer and more comfortably than ever before. When is it ever a pain with Spinal Ease? Check out the entire range today. Go to SpinalEase.com.au. That's Spinal Ease.

EZE.com.au. Beware of cheap imitations. Nothing feels like the original. Craig at Bellrose has won the $150 Lowe's digital gift card. The answer this afternoon, believe it or not, is Chad Townsend. So congratulations to you, Craig. $150 Lowe's digital gift card is coming your way. And a few people have asked us off the back of our chat with Gus Warland, how can they get in contact with him? Probably the best way to do it is through his website. So just Google Gotcha for Life, G-O-T-C-H-A-W.

the number for life, and that'll take you through to Gussie's website. And, Darrell, just a thoroughly decent human being. We spent some time with him at the airport on the way to Brisbane the other day. Yeah, you know, it's funny when you've got blokes who work for opposite radio stations, you tend to...

you don't dislike them or anything, but you tend to steer clear a little bit. I mean, I don't see a lot of them. We don't see them much, do we? But every time we see Gussie, he's over and having a chat with us and, you know, doing all the stuff. Such a good man. What a great bloke. He is. Mate, I nearly asked you, but you might know, Levy...

Has he had a history of it himself? How did he get involved in this? Did he lose some of his friends or something? I think he might have had a mate. I think that might be right. His best mate. Terrible. You know, one of his best mates is Hugh Jackman. And he was telling me about the life that Hugh Jackman leads and the fact that, speaking of Vegas, Hugh flew in.

and he was just bombarded with people, and Hugh just had to say, look, this is a bit too much. I've got to get out of here. I can't handle this. So imagine being a Hollywood superstar everywhere you go. I was going to say Hugh Jackman. It's not just some bloke from Australia. But that's what I mean. Imagine living that life where you just can't go out with that sort of attention. Oh, wouldn't it? What? I mean, you guys get a little bit.

of attention when you're out and about because of your television profiles. That's the good thing about radio. No one knows what you look like. Not like Hugh Jackman. Hugh Jackman's a worldwide star. Don't forget, I did acting on that movie that time. Oh, yeah. Which movie was that? Standover Man. Who was he, Standover? He was a standover man. A kid. What'd you do? Who was he, Standover? I was a standover in an English...

I think it won an Acra or something. Acra's radio, you bomba. You're an idiot. It was actually a good movie. Is that good a movie they put it onto radio? Oh, of course. That sounds like it. People listen overnight. That's how good the movie was. He won a radio award for it. I forget the name of the movie. It was a great show. Anyway, we're off to a break. Back with more. Second half about to get underway at Suncorp Stadium. Canterbury up 16 points to 10 over the Brisbane Broncos. 16-10 the score. Canterbury leading the Brisbane Broncos.

And still to come later tonight, the Cowboys and the Sharks from Townsville. And then at 7.35, the Roosters up against the Manly Sea Eagles. Jamie Sowden and Chris Warren will be along to broadcast those two matches. And that'll be followed by our live coverage of the Olympic Games from Paris. And boy, aren't there some gold medal chances.

on day one, the official first day of the Paris Olympic Games. Yeah, welcome back to the Continuous Call team. Apologies for those interruptions there. We had a little gremlin in our system that has now been rectified. And I can see people running here, there and everywhere, which means that, oh, something's gone wrong. But Mr G's on the case.

Mulchie's in there. Poor old Mulchie, running around like a headless chook. There he is. He's got a smile on his face, though. He's all right. Anyway, these things happen. We're under control. We can't make you cranky. I'm just glad it happened now and not later on tonight in the midst of an Olympic coverage. Are you doing the Olympics tonight?

You don't listen, gal. Oh, sorry. Don't. I just didn't know. You hadn't brought it up before. We've only been promoting it. Mate, there's a thing in radio called promoting what's coming up on a radio station. You know, like on television when they promote what's coming up on television? That's my job. I now understand. Back in your box.

22-10, Canterbury leading Brisbane. That's after eight minutes of play in the second half. Yeah, it'll be 2-0 when you're not here next week. 22-10, Canterbury leading Brisbane as we take you around the grounds for Uber Reserve. The number to call, 131873. You can email us at 2GB.com where you click onto the feedback icon. I said, please don't push my buttons, and you've just done that. You know it's my job. You know you want me to. I know. But then I give it back to you, and then you poop yourself. No, I don't poop myself. Yes, you do. I'm actually laughing. I'm laughing. Oh, you're laughing.

I'm laughing. You can't handle criticism, Fergo. Yes, I can. No, you can't. No, you cannot. Don't use that on me, Ferguson. Listen. I've been pretty nice to you today, actually. We've been good, actually. Ladies and gentlemen, I'm dedicating this hour to picking on the G-string. What's that? I'm in. No, come on. You in? I'm in. Big man, you in? I'll be doing most of my life. This hour, ladies and gentlemen, we've cleared the decks. We are dedicating this to giving it to this buffoon.

The G Street. Buffoon's a good word. Bring it on. Buffoon. It's underused, buffoon. Buffoon. Anyway, 32-14 last night. Melbourne beat Parramatta Warriors over the West Tigers, 28-16. And in the NRLW competition, of course, we had the Knights beat the Roosters 12-10. Sharks over the Cowboys 14-0. Parramatta beat Brisbane 22-10. And the remainder of the games, the last two, will be played tomorrow. And then later on tonight,

We've got Cowboys, Sharks, Jamie Sowd to call that one, and Chris Warren on deck for the Roosters and the Manly Sea Eagles. 22-10, Canterbury leading Brisbane. That's after 10 minutes of play in the second half. Plenty of other rugby league news around the place, but just before we get into Gal's topic around artificial intelligence, I was about to say insemination. Artificial intelligence.

Obviously, there's a big decision to make around Stefano Yutoi-Kamanu. Appy Corousau said this week he desperately wants him to stay. He's been linked with a move to the Bulldogs. This is what Cameron Seraldo said yesterday when he was asked whether or not Stefano Yutoi-Kamanu would be joining the Doggies.

Oh, now this machine's playing up. What's going on here, boys? The whole system's playing up. We'll get it rectified and fixed anyway. Do you want to talk about it? Yeah, please do. I would think from the outside looking in, I've got no idea what's going on. I don't think he's going to stay at the Tigers. I mean, they've made him an offer. They've had an offer on the table to him for six or seven weeks, haven't they? $800,000 a year. I don't know what he wants, but maybe he wants to go to a club where he thinks he might be able to win a competition. I don't know, but...

If he's not going to stay at the Tigers, I'd go to the Bulldogs. To me, they look like they're on the up and up. 100%. I don't know what sort of money the Dogs can offer him, but for more reports, he's not all about money. He does want to go to a club that can have some success. Look, the West Tigers have had their, what, they're going to win their third wooden spoon in a row, probably. And look, they've got a couple of good players going there next year, but I just think

you've got to go to a club for more than just money. If you want to have success in a club, you've got to be there for more than just money. At the end of the day, that's what a lot of these players are going there for. Jerome Lue, he's won three premierships, possibly four this year, and he's going to cash in, which is fair enough. So he should at some stage of his career, you've got to put yourself first, but

I just feel the players going to the West Tigers are only going there for money, and I think you've got to go to a club for more than that. This isn't looking good for Adam Reynolds. He's up limping at Suncorp Stadium. He's done something to his left leg by the looks of things. Remember he missed a number of weeks. I don't know if it's a leg or a hip. I'm not sure with him, but he missed a number of weeks. He's limping around. He'll probably get through the game today, but...

It doesn't look good for him because, you know, and I hate to say it, but as you get older, you do get injuries, don't you? Things happen. You do get injuries, and I'm not even sure if he got... Oh, he might have got a cork in the hip. He's got a knee straight in the side there, so he'll be okay. Thank goodness for that. 22-10, Canterbury leading Brisbane. Anyway, this is what Cameron Sirota had to say.

I think we're in a really good position as a club where we've got a lot of good kids coming through and we've got space for potential guys to bring in if they're the right person and the right fit for our club. And Stefano's a really good player. He's got a lot of potential and we're sort of monitoring that situation and if he'd like to come here, then we'd welcome him with open arms. Beautiful. System fixed. We're back on board. Thank you very much, gentlemen. Cameron Serralda there on Stefano. Do the dogs...

Didn't they offer a million dollars for guys like Tino? Weren't they in for a couple of them, guys? They must have some money. Yes, they must have around a million dollars for a front-runner to spend. Now, obviously, he's been offered $800,000 at the West Tigers, so you'd think he's going to demand somewhere around $800,000 to $1 million. They must have the money. I think they'd have the money because you have a look at their pack. I mean, there's a lot of players. A couple of them would be on good dollars. Like Kicker would be on big money and so would Reid Marnie, but...

I don't think the rest of them would be on big dollars. I mean, I think they'll probably have a bit of money to... You do need a good front row. And I actually think he is a good player, this kid. I know he copped a bit of...

Bit of stick from time to time. But I think he's a good player, Stefano. I agree with you. He's a good player. And he's young. All right. Let's move on to artificial intelligence. It scares me. And I want to know how many of our listeners or if you guys understand it. I went to a mate's house the other day who's right into it. Absolutely loves it. And he put me in his back room and I sat there and I spoke or was interviewed by a computer.

And it scared the crap out of me. Hello, Paul Gallagher. No, it's real though. That's the worst thing. It was a voice. Yeah. It was a voice. It was unbelievable. I couldn't believe it. Did it know stuff about you? Yes. Yes. Did it know about you and Andy on a Saturday morning? No, sorry. Stop it. But this is the thing I'm talking about. When we spoke about Celine Dion before and what she did, all I did was type in Celine Dion, a couple of different words. Hold on. You type it into what? Yeah.

into this meta thing. It's called meta. Meta AI. That's what it is. And it spat out silver lining meets a golden voice. That's how easy it is. Now, it got me wondering. There's so many journalists in the world, as we know. But if you can have a platform like this or whatever it's called, and you just type in a few words, it spits out a...

you know, basically a response or an answer. Like how many jobs could that possibly cost? Far too many. I just feel it could. It absolutely scares me. I'm on the way home after that. I get a text message off a number I didn't know. I thought you were going to leave this part out of the story. No, but it was the AI. Yeah.

It was the AI just texting me, thanking me for the day. And I thought, wow, this is too much for me. Did it ask you out? No, it didn't. Not quite. Don't, don't. Want to go to dinner? No, no. Send him a photo. You single gal? No, no, no.

That is artificial insemination. But I find it, I actually find it really scary. Where are we going to be? This is now, this is today. Where are we going to be in a couple of years' time? Well, it's even scarier having kids growing up with this stuff. They know everything about you as long as it's got your phone.

You know what? They can access any camera. Is this Terminator 2 Judgment Day coming back to haunt us? Yes, this is what... Yeah, 100%. This whole interview, this whole thing I did was just reminding me of Terminator 2. That's all I could think of. You know what? I'm the oldest here, right? We didn't... My day, we didn't have phones. No one had mobile phones. Now with social media and all that stuff, that scares me big time. So many people are on it. So many people read it. So many people try and utilise it to the best of their advantage. You know, like...

I just find it a bit scary. I find it really scary. When I was in... What, are you in it? You are. Social media, 100%. She's all over it. So are you. I know. But I'll tell you a story. When I was in Vegas, right, and I was just... When I was there for the Rugby League, I was talking to a bloke, and for some reason...

artificial intelligence come up and he said you know that they can drive cars and i said what do you mean he goes mate we have the technology at the moment and we're at it we're at a bar having drinks so you can imagine the state we're both in i'm thinking he's talking crap he goes we have the ability for artificial intelligence to drive cars at the moment the only reason it's not allowed is because if we're driving on a two-way street there's a cliff on one side with the ocean a

A bus coming the other way and for some reason a kid pops out of nowhere and the kid was running from the car. The AI does not know or it can't because it's not a human, it hasn't got human feelings, it doesn't know whether to steer off the road and kill the person in the back seat.

Steer in front of the bus, come the other way with children on it or just run over the kid? That's the only reason we are not... To be fair, I wouldn't know what to do in that scenario. It would be a hard situation, but we're human, so we have a human context to it. But I thought there was somewhere in the world, and I thought it was America, that had the taxis or the Ubers that self-drive. But they were trialling it, aren't they? Maybe they are trialling it. Like the Tesla, I don't know what brand it is, but along those lines. Well, he was telling me in February this year that he said that...

That's the only reason that we don't have AI driving cars at the moment for people is because it just hasn't got a human element to it. But that can't be far away. It's scary. Are you telling me that I need to look for a new job? Well, no, probably not you because you can talk. Actually, this AI could talk pretty good, actually. Could you do ruck infringement in AI? Ruck infringement.

in the fringe market. You might keep a job, you'd be right. But no, I was more thinking like journals, like print journals. There'd be so many jobs though. There'd be so many jobs. I agree. Well, it's funny you talk about it because a mate of mine yesterday said that a few of his colleagues use it to write emails. There you go. Exactly what I've done today. Just you type a few words in about the topic and it comes up with something. And not just within, not just something...

It comes up in something within seconds, not like five minutes. Within seconds, it'll write you an email. It's crazy. It's so freaky. Darryl. I'm staying out of it. AI, bro. I don't want to get involved in AI. If social media freaks you out, you don't want to buy this. Look, I am on social media, but I don't do much on there. I look at it. You know how we've seen Richard Wilkins, Peter Overton, these fake...

things that try and trap people. Is that artificial intelligence or not? It'd be some kind of it, yeah. Where their voices... It's everywhere. Even like on our broadcasts and stuff. Like, I don't know, we're talking about it for Rugby Union for one of the Wallabies games. Like the virtuals that come up, they use AI to produce those. And so like it's

It's within technology, I think, a lot more than what we know. Certainly than what I know, anyway. They're right. Because they were showing me this new AI technology that they're using. They might have even been for the Olympics and they trialled it in the Wallabies games, but it was full on. Are they creating robots and stuff with it or not?

I think they are, but I don't know when they're going to actually be walking around us or when it's all going to happen. I don't understand it. This is Terminator 2. I'm telling you it is. You're depressing me, Gal, with your topics. Mate, we're an uplifting show. We're all about entertainment. Mate, your restaurant, AI might be able to make. Food, coffee. Serve it. Definitely coffee. Serve it. We need some staff.

Anyway, if anyone's looking for a casual job, come and see me. Canterbury leading Brisbane now by 26 points to 10. There's 18 minutes gone in the second half. So 26-10 Canterbury leading Brisbane as we take you around the grounds. We do that, of course, for Uber Reserve. 131873, the number, 2GB.com, 4BC.com.au. Click onto the feedback icon. I'm going to play a little segment here.

that we did on the Continuous Call team a couple of years about robot dating, just on the topic of AI. In the meantime, it takes a lot of grit for your team to make it to the top of the ladder. Grit, determination, commitment, it all boils down to a player's attitude and mindset before a game. It's hard work all season. But you know what isn't hard work? Uber Reserve. Whether you're catching a flight, going to a concert or some other special event, or you just want a stress-free way of getting to the footy this weekend...

With Uber Reserve, you can reserve an Uber ride in advance from 30 minutes up to 90 days. When you know you need to get there, just head into the Uber app. Conditions apply. Reserve now, ride later with Uber Reserve. Well, robot dating, it became a topic on the continuous call team a few years ago.

The Continuous Call Team, tackling the big issues. I reckon there's somebody out there for you. There's always somebody for somebody. They've got robots now. They've got robots. What? They've got robots. What are you saying? He's a robot? No, I'm saying he can get one. What, a robot? As a partner. G'day, love. How was your day? It was very good.

A platonic relationship. I'm not taking a robot to a restaurant. It'd be unique. How good would it be? What about what sleeve you've got on his arm now? Mate, you can't have a robot as a partner. Or pig things. Mate, all I'm saying is that they are available. That's all. And you tell them how to dress or what happens? You can dress them, plug them in, charge them up. It's like an iPhone charger. It's like that.

Get the US free out. Put another name to the line, she's a machine. LAUGHTER Oh, that's a big... Got a million of them. Yeah, I like that line. As your girlfriend, we are... Oh, she's a machine. LAUGHTER

No, literally. Oh, that laugh of Bozo. So infectious. Great stuff. 28 points to 10. Canterbury leading Brisbane. So this resurgence from the Bulldogs this year is just a phenomenal story. To Cameron Seraldo and all of the players they've recruited. And to do it without Stephen Crichton a bit.

Admittedly, there is still 20 minutes to go, but 28 points to 10, Canterbury leading Brisbane. That's as we take you around the grounds for Uber Reserve. I just had a message through from Ray Hadley. I asked him what the opening ceremony was like because I obviously didn't get to see it all. He said he's happy for me to share this with our listeners. The opening ceremony got saved by Celine Dion. Poor athletes ran a poor second, third and fourth. It was their night and the French wanted...

to make some sort of cultural statement at the expense of the athletes. The games are supposed to be about the athletes, not some fat bloke painted blue looking like a Smurf. So Ray will have the swimming covered for us later on tonight before the finals tomorrow morning. And that 400-metre freestyle world record could be under threat. It's held by Biederman, but of course he won that race and set that world record in a super suit that is now banned.

Before that, it was held by Ian Thorpe. So there could be a bit of history in the pool tomorrow morning. Ray Hadley and Libby Trickett covering the swimming for us on Nine Radio's coverage of the Olympic Games. And we'll be launching into some live coverage of the Games at 9.30 later on tonight.

All I wanted in retirement was to feel confident with my money. So I picked an income account with my industry super fund. Now I take enough for day-to-day things, splash out when I fancy, and the rest can grow over time. Stick with your industry super fund in retirement. Visit compareyourretirement.com today. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance. Consider the fund's PDS and whether the product is right for you.

Back around the grounds, the Bulldogs are on an absolute fire at the moment. 32 points to 10. They lead the Brisbane Broncos, 17 to play in the second half. Darryl, you're an old Bulldog. Where good's this? I'll tell you what, they've got some good players. They're playing really good football. It's a great credit to a lot of them. There's some underrated players. Connor Tracy, I've always loved Connor Tracy. Coraz scored that try. It was a brilliant bit of work from him. Jacob Preston, the back row, what a player he is.

But they're doing extremely... I thought they should have won last week. They got beaten by the Cowboys, I think it was, up in North Queensland. I thought they'd be stiff to lose that game. Mm-hmm.

You know, as good as they're going, the Broncos, they're woeful. They're going to get an absolute hiding here. There's still 17 minutes to go in this game. Some of the tries the dogs have scored have been... Mate, are soft. But they've been impressive. They've been entertaining tries. You don't associate that with the dogs in the past few years anyway. They're playing great. They're gone, the Broncos. Look at Jacob Coraz. I mean, that's just toughness. The pickle juice tastes awful. You see players dry reach for that. Mate, he just drunk it. Yeah.

gargled it and spat it out. He's such a gun. He didn't even wince because of the disgusting taste of the pickle juice. Don't forget the leader's out, Crichton. He's their captain and their main inspirational player, but the rest of them are just playing outstanding football and they're putting Brisbane back in their hole. I still can't believe, and I know admittedly Gallup, you're Sharky's kind of Tracy. You can't play everybody, but gee, he's a good

player. He's a great player. I always knew he was a good player but look I think William Kennedy was full back there. He was in the centres with a couple of good centres there then wanted to become a full back so William Kennedy's been a great player for the Sharks for the past few years so I understand why the Sharkies wanted to keep Will and why he wanted to leave and that's just part of football. You can't keep everyone and he had to be given an opportunity and thankfully for him he's got an opportunity now and he's making the most of it. 34 points to 10. Canterbury leading Brisbane as we take you around the grounds.

Of course, for Uber Reserve, 16 minutes left in the second half. Gabrielle's in Canberra. Hello, Gabrielle. G'day, guys. I was just ringing up. I was listening to Garen speaking about the AI. Mate, I'm 100% with him. I've got a friend who's a teacher, and they've actually got special software where they mark, because all the kids now in high school are handing in all their homework via tablet. So everything has to go through this system to find out if it's got AI influence or not.

Because you can actually speak to the meta AI and go, mate, write me a 500-word essay on the French Revolution like a 14-year-old, including spelling mistakes and grammar and misgrammar.

It'll give it to you like that. Well, mate, that's what I did today. I just typed in about the Celine Dion thing on that meta thing and it spat it out within seconds. So I never thought of it being a kid and writing an essay with it. But I suppose that could definitely work as well. But see, this is the problem, isn't it, Gabriel, when we talk about AI? Like university students who are supposed to be studying and sitting exams and doing all those sorts of things, they've been caught out using AI in the past, haven't they?

Yeah, they have. And the thing is, you're not actually, because it's the AI writing it, it will never sort of be plagiarizing because it's actually brand new. So it won't be exactly like anything else. Wow. So, you know, you can try and run it against a plagiarist. So you're saying you could get away, you could essentially get away with it then?

Absolutely. You can, because AI is always self-learning. It keeps reading everything that gets put onto the internet, and it's real time. So when you ask it something now, it's 100% current to what's been put into the internet to this very second. Wow. And then it'll read through the whole thing and then spit it out. We can't keep up with that. Excuse my ignorance here, Gabrielle. Is it an app or something? How do you access it on your phone?

I think you can access it with one of the guys. It's not Google. One of the other hosts actually have it as part of theirs. I think it's... Mine just went on Instagram. Or you can just download the app. So I just went to my Instagram and just there it is there, MetAI.com.

I'll tell you what we'll do. Andrew, see if Trevor Long's around. He'll be able to explain it to us. He's a genius when it comes to AI and all that sort of thing. So he's a former executive producer of the show as well, Trevor Long. Good on you, Gabrielle. Thank you very much for the other call, mate. What about the Saturday afternoon crowd in Brisbane? 42,213. That's massive. I bet there's not that many now. Two losses as well. The girls went down to the eels and now the boys are going down miserably.

So 34 points to 10, Canterbury leading Brisbane. We'll see if we can track down Trevor Long. In fact, I can see him calling through now, so he's obviously listening to the program. He loves his show. We'll find out from him exactly what it is. This is a good point. Team, Gal, can I ask this meta for the lotto numbers tonight? It's 20 million, so I'll be five behind you. That's amazing.

That's such a good shout. That's a good idea. But it wouldn't pay much because everyone's going to do it now. Who cares? Congratulations, you won $5.50. Honestly, thinking about how scary it is, what we're talking about, I wonder if there's a way to somehow manipulate it one day. I wish we held that within...

I wonder if you could somehow manipulate it that way. Mate, you're freaking me out. Can we stop? It freaks me out. It is freaky. And I have zero clue about it. You know how good I am with even phones. I'm hopeless. Well, you ask the engineers in here what I'm like with technology. When something goes wrong on these things, like, you know, the usual, have you turned it off and turned it on? Yes, I have. I'm exactly the same. I'm hopeless. I mean, my wife turns the computer on for me if I want to use it. What? You know how my wife does everything for me.

Turn the computer on. When do you turn the computer off? Are you serious? Do you turn it off your computer? I wouldn't know how to turn it on or off, to be honest. Let's call it a power button. Yeah, but, like, I don't know where it is. You are a blockhead. You're talking about a desktop or a laptop.

Just, I've got a screen there that I use a mouse and it works. That's all I need to know. That's a desk. That's all I need to know. And on button's pretty universal. What do you do when you pick up the TV? That's all I need to know. I don't mean to be rude, Paul. No, be rude. There's a difference between turning a computer on and actually sitting there and using the thing and, you know, signing into banking and doing internet banking.

You can't even turn one on? Well, it's always on when I go to it. Oh, my God. You've lost it. 34 points to 10. Canterbury leading Brisbane. 12 minutes left, second half for Uber Reserve. We'll take a break, and then Trevor Long will explain this artificial intelligence to us right after this.

131873, the number, 34 points to 10. Canterbury leading Brisbane. Nine minutes left in the second half. That's as we take you around the grounds for Uber Reserve. We'll get to some Harvey Norman messaging in just a second. But let's bring in our tech expert from EFTM.com. And he is and was once an executive producer of the Continuous Call team. Trevor Long, our man's on the line. Hello, Trev.

I get in the car to go to Woolworths and I listen to this absolute dribble talking about AI. Come on, boys, girls, Alana. Mate, it's not Alana's fault. Bring the big man together. It's Gallant's fault, mate. He's talking about it. We're freaked out. It's not rubbish. From all reports, it's actually here and it's true and it's happening. And you know what? I used it for the first time today on my phone and it gave me probably the best line of the day.

Look, I'm not going to lie to you. I'm impressed, Gail, that you're using AI out of Instagram because that is one of the places you can use it. Go back two steps here. AI is real. It's available now to literally anyone. And there are, I would say, three key versions of it. There's Google. There's Meta, which is Facebook and Instagram. And then there's what we hear a lot about, ChatGPT. They are basically, think of it like a question box. You ask a question.

It'll find you an answer. Now, that question might be, can you write me an essay about Shakespeare's works? It'll do it for you. It might also be, what's the best places to visit in Parramatta? I mean, you can ask it anything, and it'll use the knowledge of the internet to find you an answer. Is there a legitimate danger that AI could take people's jobs? Like, I was thinking about that, as you just said. It can write an essay for you. Could it take, say, a journalist's job?

I don't think so yet, but I can't rule it out in 10 years. Because the problem now is, and your earlier caller said it's real time. It's not. It's not really good enough to know, for example, today's footy score. It's just not that good. In fact, one or two of them only go back like three years ago and everything before that. But you know what? If you're a person who writes for a living, then the core of your job will be...

will be taken by ChatGPT. But the human element will be, sure, but we need to put our little finesse on it. We need to make our thing work a little better or make it sound like it is for continuous call team or whatever it might be. So there'll always be the human element. We just won't do the grunt work. Like, that's the thing. But it's not just text. You can ask, there's AI, you can ask it to write you a song and it just does it. You just say, I want a song about a big bird

early, former Queensland Rugby League player who calls himself the Big Man, and it'll just write a song for you, and it'll be done in two minutes. Look, there's a number of them already being done, Trevor. A number of them. I still reckon that is scary, though. We need people to do the grunt work. That's jobs. Well, I wanted to ask you, Trevor, are they worried about the dangers about chat GPT and meta and all these different things, learning too much about it that then becomes dangerous for the world?

The dangers we have with all of this stuff is what they – in the industry, it's called hallucinations. So when you ask ChatGPT or Google, you say, you know, who won the premiership in 1984? And it says, Parramatta, is it right or is it wrong? Can you really believe it? It may hallucinate and say the Broncos. Broncos didn't even exist in 84. So the thing is that you have to – Bulldogs, actually. I played in it.

Yeah, well, good times. Thank you. Oh, beautiful stuff. Well, I mean, it's amazing. As a former EP of this show, you're always listening, Trevor. So I thought, well, this is the main reason why we should get you on. Play around with it, though, boys. Enjoy. Just play with AI. It's fun. It's usable. Just be cautious about what it tells you. Sounds like it's fun. We've just got a text in here.

How do we know this is actually Trevor? It could be a robot. That's a very good point, Big Man. And we could go through our history and I could prove it to you, but we wouldn't do that on air, Big Man. Sounds like you. So good work, champion. Is there any possibility of actual robots being built? Will that happen one day, do you think?

And walk around like humans? Elon Musk is working on it. He's a complete lunatic, as we all know. He has humanoid, as in robots that look like humans. Then you add to that their ability to lift anything, move anything, jump anything. It's pretty cool, but it's also scary as heck. Have you ever been to Din Tai Fung in Miranda? The robots bring you food? Din Tai Fung, really? Din Tai Fung, yeah. I mean, obviously it doesn't properly look like a person.

But, yeah, so they don't really need waiters. I think a few of us have been to Din Tai Fung, but not where you're talking about. It's in the range of fare. You're a shy boy. What were you talking about? Oh, there was a few Din Tai Fung around the place. Did you end up at a tower, Darrell? I'm not talking about that. All right, Trevor, you enjoy your weekend, mate. Thank you very much. All right. See you, mate. See you, buddy. There he is, Trevor Long, our tech expert from EFTM.com. And, boy, there's plenty of tech news around at the moment, isn't there? Let's get an Olympic update.

Hello, Mike Pearsall with your Olympic update. Australia's first couple of days at the Games has been dominated by the Matildas and the men's rugby sevens. A

Unfortunately, not a great start for the Tillys, walloped 3-0 by world number four Germany, a result that leaves their campaign on life support ahead of games against Zambia and the US. Captain Steph Catley says they need to turn things around quick smart. It's definitely a wake-up call. You know, we've got two more games and we've got to turn it around quickly.

Our men's rugby seven side, on the other hand, just one win from a historic Olympic medal. Group wins over Kenya, Samoa and Argentina set up a quarterfinal against the US, which they won comfortably 18-0. Double gold medal winner Fiji is all that stands between them now and a place in the gold medal match. Keep an eye out for the boys tonight. With the opening ceremony being held this morning, day one officially begins tonight and that means we'll start to see some movement on the medal tally.

Swimming, rowing, boxing, tennis and water polo among the sports. We'll see our Aussies in over the next 24 hours. I'm Mike Pearsall. That's the latest from Paris. That Paris 2024 medal tally was thanks to Woolworths, proud fresh food partner of the Australian Olympic and Paralympic teams.

I didn't realise I could stick with my industry super fund when I retired. Thankfully, I discovered if I stayed, I could set up a regular income, take money out when I wanted, and the rest can grow over time. Stick with your industry super fund in retirement. Visit compareyourretirement.com today. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance. Consider the fund's PDS and whether the product is right for you.

Back around the grounds, Marty Tapa-Uwaz scored a try for the Brisbane Broncos in a milestone game for him. So congratulations, 40 points to 16, Canterbury leading Brisbane, but not allowed to celebrate as far as a result for the Broncos is concerned. Canterbury going towards a big...

win at Suncorp in front of a crowd of 42,000 up there. Four minutes left in the second half. 40 points to 16. Canterbury leading the Brisbane Broncos. 131873 0460 873873. Time for this. Now it's time for Points Bet's new NRL experience. Chances are

You're about to lose. For free and confidential support, visit gamblinghelponline.org.au. George Rose is our man from Pointsbet, and he's on the line. Hey, George. Hello, boys. Mate, first and foremost, congratulations. Another same-game multi-salutes last night, Georgie, boy.

Mate, I didn't think I was going to get there. It was Pappenhausen brought it home late that I was stoked with that one. Darrell, I'm going to suggest this to you, my friend. As a man who's had plenty of success on your same-game multis, I think George Rose has usurped you as the same-game multi king of the continuous call team. Has George got one at, say, 100 to 1 yet? I don't know. LAUGHTER

Georgie Boyd? Big man. They're the ones that you don't tell nobody about. Yes, good call. Good boy. Actually, give me one of the salvo. I need one. It's like I used to work with a form expert on television, and he used to say, oh, jeez, I'm really keen on this one, but we'll throw it in as the second pick.

We can't get anyone getting our prize. No names, no pactual, I promise. The game that the crew will call Cowboys $1.67, Sharks $2.20. Both teams coming off bounce-back wins after some troubling form. Who are you thinking will win this one, George?

Well, look, Al will be happy with this one. Whenever I pick the Sharks, they seem to lose. I've gone against them in this one. I've gone the Cowboys at home, and I reckon they can knock over the Sharks. All right. Sharkies all but locking in a spot on the top eight. Cowboys in a dogfight to stay in the eight. And the last time these teams met, the Sharks stumped the Cowboys 42-6 down there at Pointsbet Stadium. So the rematch this time up in Townsville. Your same game, Alty, off the success last night. How are you playing it on the 5.30 game, George?

Well, like I said, I like the Cowboys. So with the Cowboys head-to-head, I've got Kyle Felt to score at least two tries. I've backed him the last few weeks and he hasn't got over for me. So I think he owes me a couple. He'll give me two there. And I've got total match points over 46.5. All right, Cowboys to win. Kyle Felt, two or more tries and over 46.5 match points. So you can get your same game multi on at the Pointsbet app or pointsbet.com.au. Good on you, George. You enjoy the footy? Enjoy.

Enjoy, boys.

Reserve now, ride later with Uber Reserve. And I should say a big congratulations to one of our lucky listeners who has won the $200 meat tray. The $200 meat tray winner, of course, goes to Jeff from Glen Alpine, who called through to say that his nickname is Marsh, given his last name is Mello. So well done to you, Jeff. You've won the $200 Harvey Norman gift card, or the $200, I should say, meat tray voucher from Stapleton's Quality Meats.

and that'll be coming your way, Jeff, and you can get stuck into some of Stapleton's beautiful, beautiful meat down there at Carrillo and Sylvania Southgate. On the way to the break, Harvey Norman has given you so much more when you upgrade to a new TV. How does bonus local delivery and professional warm-out installation on selected TV sound?

And if you buy with a selected soundbar, they'll install that as well. But you'd better hurry because this exclusive offer ends Monday. Harvey Norman best brands, best range, best prices, guaranteed conditions apply. I was just having a look at the schedule for day one of the Olympic Games in Paris. Before we go any further though, let's hear from Jacob Carraz,

He's with Lara Pitt on Fox League. Yeah, absolutely, Bossy. The Bulldogs are having a party. Jacob Curaz, you have just come here and knocked off the Brisbane Broncos in devastating fashion. Talk to us about what that means to you and what was the best part of that win? Yeah, you know, Brisbane's been a top four side the last couple of years and

You know, we're all aiming for the finals, so every game, you know, is a final game for us, and we knew, you know, they have all their... They've got so much talent in their team, and, you know, we just said that, you know, we're just going to keep turning up for each other. We know they've got some strike-reached walls, you know. There are some players in there that are freaks, so we just said, you know, we need to work as a team and just keep, you know, keep grinding, keep working hard, and, yeah, it feels so good, you know, especially, you know...

the way we won so yeah it's the best feeling and yeah hopefully we made the fans proud so you just kept the Brisbane Broncos at 16 points we know your defence orientated side but you've scored 40 that's been a long time coming how hard have you worked for that yeah we work you know we work so hard you know we know our defence is there and you know we keep turning up for each other

And, yeah, it's good to see, you know, us, you know, sort of 40 points. You know, just the combos are all starting to kick in. So it's good to see. And, yeah, like I said, you know, I'm so happy right now. And, yeah, it's going to take a week by week. So it's good. No, Stephen Crichton and your back five are on absolute fire, including yourself. You scored a try. You set up another one. But I want to talk about the effort from you and Kikau on that edge in the first half, which led to Skelton's try on the other court.

Yeah, you know, obviously Critter's, you know, the leader, especially in a back five. You know, I play outside of him. He's, you know, the biggest role model. But, you know, we all said and we've just got to step up and, you know, we've got to be leaders ourselves and take it with both hands. And, yeah, you know, Blake Wilson, I've got to shout out to him. He kept the ball in and kicked out, you know, just threw it. And, yeah, before you know it, the ball just, you know, just happened to be in my right hand and, yeah, just set up Jarrell. So, yeah, it's a good feeling and, yeah, I just want to soak it up with the boys.

What does it say about the team's credentials in this premiership race? You're going to want to be there come September. Yeah, 100%. I'll be lying if I say we don't want to be there. Like I said, we're just going to take it week by week. Everyone's talking about it, which is good, but week by week, soak up this one and on to next week because we have a strong run coming up. Everyone wants to be in the finals, so it'll make us better. How many family members are going to be hitting up

you for tickets for Belmore next weekend. Well, too many cousins. Apparently everyone's my cousin now. I've got to hook them all up, all the lebos. Thanks, Jacob. Enjoy this win. Well done. Thank you so much. Thank you. Yeah, Jacob Corraz with Lara Pitt on Fox League off the back of a 41 points to 16 victory over the Brisbane Broncos at Suncorp Stadium and a great crowd on a Saturday afternoon. 42,213 to watch Canterbury continue their winning ways. 41 points to 16.

over the Brisbane Broncos. 131873, the number, 0460873873. And, of course, that takes us to the two games you'll hear with the continuous call team, 5.30, Cowboys and Sharks. Jamie Soward on deck for that one. And then at 7.35, the Roosters and Manly. Chris Warren will be broadcasting that game for you as well. Now, Darrell, Fergo and Gow. Yeah.

It's the first day, first official day of competition at the Olympic Games. Yes. And we've got some of the most respected commentators in Australia on our team. Ray Hadley heading up the swimming and athletics with the assistance of Matthew Hill.

We'll have back here in our David Morrow Olympic studio, Gordon Bray. We'll have Bill Woods, Carl Langdon. We've got Bill McDonald from our 4BC team with us as well. I'll be anchoring and just call whatever needs to be called along the way. Probably the more strange sports, so to speak.

Don't, gal. I'm not doing anything. You guys are making me laugh. What have we done? Continue, Marcus, please. Anyway, I'm going to play Daryl's calls, right, to get everybody in the mood for what's still to come tonight. Ladies and gentlemen, the swimming will be the highlight on day one with so many gold medals up for grabs. Sam Short, Elijah Winnington, Ariane Titmuss, Jamie Perkins. It's all there. Plus, we'll have hopefully some relay swims as well, I believe.

So here was the day that Daryl at Brookvale decided to have a crack at calling the swimming. Okay, ladies and gentlemen, take your marks. Take them. You do the gun. You don't have to take them. You do the gun. Sit down.

Off in racing and Thorpe has begun brilliantly. He's gone underneath with the pedal pop kick. He's developed lately and he's come up in front of Zeller. Phelps is there with him. Look at Van den Hoogenband swimming strongly in lane one. Gary Hall Jr. trying to stay at his shoulder. Dodd Fraser's flying out wide. Conrad's and Murray Rose's tared off because he's a 1,500-meter swimmer. How's he going to win the 100th?

But Thorpe, Thorpe still in front as they get up to the 50 metre mark. Nicole, how's that for a 50? That's a 12.6 split. OK, Thorpe still in front as they turn. Thorpe made a brilliant turn. Van der Hoogenbeek is challenging now. Here comes Emile Zeller and Murray Rose has come from nowhere. Thorpe in front. Van der Hoogenbeek, Phelps. And who's this? Who's this steaming down the outside? It's Harold Holt.

He's come from nowhere. Harold Holt of 100. What an unbelievable swim. Where's he been for the last 41 years? Harold Holt. Oh, Holt. One of the greatest comebacks of all time. Has nosed out Ian Thorpe in unbelievable circumstances.

Harold Holt. Brilliant stuff there from the big man, Daryl Broman. Yeah, well. Brilliant stuff. It was good stuff. I put a lot of time and effort into it. And a very young Peter Basaltus called the continuous call team one day. He said, look, boys, I want to be a sports commentator. This was him. Lethal Jones in lane one. They're about to take off. Beep. And they're off. Lethal Jones is already at the 15-metre mark. She's winning.

Oh, they're nearly there. She touches the wall. She's won. She's had a new record. I want you to do that starting beep again. Beep. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

Too good. And of course, to finish up, it wouldn't be Darryl's Olympic commentary without the weightlifting. Here he is. Look at this weight. Never before attempted. 485 kilos he's got, ladies and gentlemen. There he is. He's rubbing some flour into his hands. Was he baking a cake? He's thrown a bit on his groin because he's a bit chafed as well down there.

Here he is. He walks over. He's stalking, stalking these weights as he walks up. There he is. He bends down. Sorry. Excuse me. Sorry about that. No. Walker, stop. Stalk it again. Stalk the weight. Bend down to pick it up again. No.

I've never seen that happen before. Not in a final round. Cleaner! Well, they've had to substitute him with the third best performer. This bloke's like nothing left. Poor old... He's out of the equation now, so it's...

The other blokes won by default. Australia, one, two, three. Brilliant stuff. Brilliant stuff, Daryl. Well done to you. And well done to you, Fergo. Are you back with us next week? I think you said. Yeah, I think it's maybe next week or the week after. Anyway, you'll be back with us. Good stuff. Great stuff. Yeah, good. Thanks, team. Good stuff, Fergo. You enjoy your night and we'll catch you in a couple of weeks. Home to a roast. Oh.

Could be worse. Well done, champion. Well done to you. Thank you, Fergo. There she is, Alana Ferguson. Daryl and Paul will continue on after the news at five with myself. Jamie Sowd will be here to call all of the footy. A break back with more. So the first result through on this super Saturday of rugby league as we lead into the first day, first official day of competition in Paris. 41 points to 16. A big win to the Bulldogs over the Broncos and understandably quite a number of

people wanting to have their say. We'll take your calls after the news at five o'clock. Steve's in Melbourne with a question about Kevvy losing the dressing room. Stephen in Newtown. The Bulldogs win sensational. So stay there, fellas. We'll have a chat to you after the news at five o'clock as we launch into some live rugby league on this Super Saturday with a continuous call time.
