The Continuous Call Team – Full Show Saturday 20th July 2024 02:44:14

It's with some sadness and regret I announce that my mate and colleague David Morrow has passed away. David Thirsty Morrow has died after a battle with brain cancer. The broadcaster's career spanned more than 50 years covering eight Olympic Games and decades of rugby league.

The Australian Rugby League Commission and the Rugby League community pays tribute to one of the most recognisable voices in the game, David Morrow. Martin's out here on the right wing, he gets it back to Edward, Edward's a scraping down to Creighton, shut the gate, Creighton scores and that's an every brilliant try. Last Rugby League.

I work with a lot of people over a long period of time in broadcasting. There's no more versatile sports commentator than David Morrow. ANZAC Day action at the cricket ground. It's a special day. I still think it's the most special day on the Australian calendar and it's very, very important to everyone.

We've lost a mate, a colleague and one of Australia's most versatile sports commentators. We're going to miss you, mate. And I hope you've got a front row seat for the footy. Thank you for the memories and to pinch one of your favourite lines. Thank you for being such a super bluck. Davey, this one's for you. Now, live, right across Australia, the continuous cold team. And Luwai's gone straight through. Luwai's over.

He comes to the 40. He's got Bradman Best in support. Best takes the ball. He got away from one, two, three, and scores a try. What a try back of Jerome Luai. Bradman Best scores.

and New South Wales go to the lead for the first time. With Mark Levy, Daryl Broman, Paul Gallen and Shane Flanagan. Gentlemen, this is Democracy Manifest. Ah, yes. Succulent Chinese meals all around. That took some practice. Over a pint or two. You didn't think about putting the... Get your hand off my...

Microphone. Live sport and laughter right across your weekend. Ronaldo, Moolatalo. You have a look at his haircut. I don't know what he's done, but he's away. Hero gives the ball to Rene. The aerodynamics, the haircut. I shouldn't have been.

Because he's claimed to meet pie. My man, Ronnie. Oh, Mulatalo, Mulatalo. He's got hair cut. Daddy's gone to dry and you want to be his friend. I'm calling it a reverse man butt. It's awful. I don't see what you're doing. He's got a little puff of hair in the back of his head. It's terrible. He's growing the Felice Caffouse. Levy wants to know about the hair. What's doing with the hair? Oh, mate, my missus is off me. She wants to ask me if I have a six-foot pole, so...

I hope she'll give me a kiss tonight. But, yeah, she probably won't. The Continuous Call Team. Thanks to Macca's, Harvey Norman, Lowe's, Bryden's Lawyers, Ram Trucks, Duck's Hot Water, All.com, Uber, Westpac and 1-800-GOT-JUNK. What's a kumquat? It's a vegetable. Yeah, but what is it? You're a kumquat. They could make the names easier, I believe. You know, the bloke who first named it said, geez...

I wonder what he was doing when he had a kumquat. If you want to breed a kumquat, what do you breed? How would you fertilise a kumquat tree? Well, firstly, you have a quad. And then you work it out from there. How big are they? They're not very big. People are saying they're very small. So anyway, let's get to some coal. You've got small kumquat scalpies. LAUGHTER

But can you tell before you try to eat them if one's going to be sour and one's going to be sweet? Are they different colours? No, you get fine into it and if you spit it out, it's bitter. And now on to GB Sydney, 4BC Brisbane and network stations across Australia. It's time for the Continuous Call Team.

Yes, good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to a super Saturday of Rugby League as we celebrate the life of our great mate David Morrow. It has been an emotional week for the continuous call team after we learnt of Davey's passing. As we landed in Brisbane on Wednesday ahead of the Origin decider.

The outpouring of grief, the messages of support that we've received over the last few days really emphasises to me the love and respect for one of the best blokes I've ever met. I got to spend plenty of time with Thirsty. He became a father figure to me. His wife, Christine, has asked me to say a few words at his funeral on Thursday morning, which I'll be honoured to do and will raise a glass in honour of Davey

at his favourite place in the world, the Sydney Cricket Ground, following the service. Today we will celebrate the life and career of Davey. We'll listen back to some of his iconic calls and we'll share some of those funny stories. But more importantly, we'd love to hear from you because I'm of the

firm belief that David Morrow provided the soundtrack of a generation through his commentary. I'm sure we've got people listening right now who have grown up listening to him so if you'd like to pay tribute or share your memories of Thirsty the number to call 131873 you can email us via the website's

And you can shoot through a text on 0460 873 873. David will be formally inducted into the Rugby League Hall of Fame in a few weeks' time. I'm so grateful that the NRL fast-tracked his elevation because it was only a week ago that Ray Hadley informed David of his induction. And to stand in the hospital room watching those tears stream down his face showed what it meant to him. And I reckon he would have been pretty chuffed

knowing that there was a minute's silence prior to the Origin decider the other night, and I have no doubt he would have been celebrating that Blues victory with the likes of Bob Fulton and Tommy Radonikis. So rest in peace, Davey, as we dedicate today's show to the country boy who moved to the Big Smoke.

and then travelled the world as a sports commentator, and there's no doubt David Morrow's legacy will live on through some of those amazing calls. In the meantime, New South Wales coach Michael Maguire will be a special guest in the second hour of the program after the Blues beat Queensland in one of the most brutal games we've seen at Suncorp to win the State of Origin Series, while in the NRL the run home to the finals is on after Canberra kept its chances of a top eight finish alive with a 20 points to 18 win over the Warriors.

at GIO Stadium. Three games today, Damien Cook plays his 200th for South Sydney when the Rabbitohs tackle the West Tigers. Adam Reynolds set to make his return for Brisbane in the match against Newcastle and in the late game, the Melbourne Storm are at home to the Roosters. Let's welcome the continuous call team starting with Darrell Broman who, look, formed a bit of a bromance with David Morrow on this show over...

any number of years since he made the move over from the ABC. Big Mart, good afternoon to you. Levi, good afternoon to you, Gal and Flanno. Yeah, well, it's a sad day, wasn't it, on Wednesday when we got the news of David's passing. I did have a bromance with him. I loved him. He was a lot of fun.

He's pretty easy to pick on. I found that I'm pretty good at that. He did leave a few little gaps in stuff he did, which I must admit I did pounce upon. But on a fair dinkum basis, what a great man he was. It was great to work with him. We were lucky enough to have seven or eight years with him here. I did work with him, I think, one year at the ABC, but that wasn't a fun show. I mean, this was a bit of fun, and we did, you know, take it.

it to the limits. Well, we still take it to the limits, but he was a big part of it. And, you know, when you think about it, I suppose...

The fact that New South Wales won, he would have been so happy with that because he loved the Blues. Well, he loved so many things, but he loved the Blues. And the fact they did win, they deserved to win on Wednesday night. He'd be pretty happy with that had he been there to see it. So, yeah, it's a sad day, a sombre day, but we'll get a chance to listen to some of the stuff we did over the years. And I'm sure there'll be a lot of funny stuff there because he was always...

One thing I found with David was he was one of the great winners. He's one of the best winners I've ever met. And I know there's a lot of people who are good winners, but there's a lot of people who are bad losers as well. And he's right up the list. He was right up the list of a bad loser. No, Gallant's pointing at me. What about him? I mean, but Davey was right up there. He could find an excuse when they lost. I just thought of something else that I don't think we've mentioned this week.

When Ray was hosting the show and Bozo was here and Blocky, we used to get a tray of sandwiches.

that would come from the old Studio 4 cafe. And Darryl liked to poke and prod Davey, right? So the sandwiches would be sitting there and Davey would come in to call the footy late in the afternoon and there'd be a couple left, a couple of schnitty sandwiches. So what Darryl would do in the earlier in the afternoon, he'd go and get some coffee granules or some chilli and put them on the sandwiches and Davey would walk in and go, yes, yes, g'day, yes, hello everyone, I'm here. And he'd pick up one of the sandwiches, ooh, leftover sandwich. Jeez, this doesn't taste very nice. LAUGHTER

And then Darrell would say, there's coffee on it, you idiot. He wasn't overly quick at the pick-up on that because he did it for about 12 weeks. I reckon that happened. I'd put extra salt on or coffee or sugar or whatever I could. He'd still eat it. He'd still eat it. And some of the things that he used to throw into his commentary as well, this is one of those. They need a big kick from Richards and Richards has done well. He said, I know what's needed here, one of my specials. And he puts in a ball of a kick.

It's almost gone the length of the field. What's a baller of a kick? Doesn't make much difference. Well, I'm saying it too. That was a baller of a kick. I meant to say pooler. It was a baller of a kick. He got a little risque from time to time as well, fellas. Here's an attempted 40-20 here from McCulloch. It's not a bad attempt. I think it'll hold up. Oh, so close.

If he hit it with a bit more oomph and the ball went the other way, well, he should have put forward spin on it. Yeah, should have had foreskin. That's why this is award-winning radio. Davey, one of your best.

Oh, too good. Paul Gallen, I know you said some lovely things last night on Channel 9. Thank you very much for that. A great man and you got to work with him and know him over the last couple of years. Afternoon to you, mate. Yeah, good afternoon, everybody. Good afternoon to all your listeners and the boys are, yeah, look,

Lucky enough to be involved with Dave for a very short amount of time, but just a really likeable guy. Don't hear anyone say a bad word about him. It was great to be able to sit in his chair, to be honest. I remember the first time I came in the first couple of years, it was Dave's chair. I was sitting in and I only got to call one or two games with him, so that was probably...

A bit of a shame, but you know, that's life. That's the way it worked out. But it was great to be involved with him for a short amount of time and great to get to know him. He's a fantastic fella. And yeah, I'm sure we'll be very happy on Wednesday night, as all us Blues will. And it was pretty special too, wasn't it, Gal? To have that minute's silence. I'm very, very thankful to Andrew Abdo and Peter Volandis for organising that. But...

To know David's love of the game, to think that a sold-out Suncorp, an origin decider, one of the most watched games and listened to games probably of all time, and everyone stood there in silence to remember David Mora. Yeah, they did. Obviously, when the silence popped up, I was a little bit concerned because obviously I like David and he's one of mine, so to speak, and I was a little bit concerned about a few Queenslanders carrying on, but

No one did. It was really respectful. Everyone was quiet for the moment. And, yeah, it was a great night. Great night for the Blues. And I'm sure David would have been up there watching over and been very, very happy and cheering on. But I used to love coming in and seeing him and Broman go at it. Like...

It was near bullying you sometimes. It was crazy. But you know what? He left himself open. I absolutely agree with you. He left himself open. But when you had the opportunity, you did not miss. And you went in and you just kept going. I used to sit there. I used to actually like him coming in because he wasn't in all the time when I was here. But when he came in,

And Brayman was banged straight into him every time. And I used to just wet myself. Yeah, I was thinking too, I was driving to work today and I was thinking about, you know, some of the stories we could tell. And one of the other things I loved was we'd be talking about something and Daryl would just randomly say, what do you think, Davey? And he'd have no idea. Yeah.

But he'd just say something confidently and have an opinion on it. And the other thing, he'd be on his phone. So I'd go, righto, well, let's get your thoughts, boys, on the Dragons' performance last night. Darrell would do his thing. Paul Gallagher. And what about you, Davey? Well, gee, South Sydney last night were fantastic. That wasn't the question, Davey, because he'd be on his phone having a punt or doing something. Wonderful stuff. Now, Shane Flanagan is with us today.

And Flanno, when you first got that Dragons gig, am I right in saying, as I say good afternoon to you, one of the first phone calls you received was from David Morrow saying, get rid of those bloody red jerseys? Yeah, good afternoon, everyone. It wasn't the first call, but it wasn't very much longer after. You know, and I was lucky enough to, very similar to Gal, come in here two or three years ago and

And no of Davey, but then to come in here and watch him work for someone that hadn't worked in radio before was, you know, I've got a really good head start. I don't know if I learned that much, but he was an outstanding quality man. Just his knowledge about sport in general was just amazing. And I just love sitting there listening to him talk and,

And, yeah, watch Darrell take the mickey out of him was enjoyable as well. But, you know, the red jerseys for the Dragons, he always spoke about it. You know, he'd wait to see the team come out of the tunnel and he'd throw his pen down on the table and he goes, not those bloody jerseys again. So, you know, he loved the Red Bee and, yeah, it was a very sad day. But.

And it's strange how things happen. You know, on one of our biggest days of rugby league, he passes, you know, and I thought it was great by the NRL to have that minute on so quickly on the day. So it was a testimony of what sort of person he was. And I've got to say thank you to you too, Shane, because I know you've got some Dragons merchandise to give to Daryl to take in. When I saw David in hospital last week,

there on the desk next to him was all that Dragons gear and Christine said that he was wearing it from time to time, keeping his head warm and everything else. So a big thank you to the Dragons for looking after him. No, it was a pleasure. He was a great Dragons supporter and

He didn't like the red jumper, but he was always behind him. He certainly was. If you'd like to pay tribute to our great mate David Morrow, 131873, the number. And speaking of the Dragons, here's Thirsty getting a little upset with his beloved St. George, Illawarra side. Season 2021. The best of the continuous call team this year.

David, you're blaming the Dragons. Poor performances on the jersey they wore yesterday. I'm just telling you, that stupid thing they wore yesterday...

Oh, come on! Has always been drab. Doesn't look like the Dragons. And I reckon that when they put it on... Oh, I've got to wear this today. A dead set looks like Liverpool soccer jersey. Mal has phoned through at Bathurst and I think he's supporting you, Davey. Hello, Mal. Yeah, 100%. Whenever we put that jersey on, it all turns to absolute something else. LAUGHTER

It's a joke. They've only won four games since Anzac Day last year. It didn't matter what jersey they wear. The Red Vs, nothing else. There must have been a mistake for the Dragons. What happened there, Davey? Oh, well, Corey Norman was involved again. I'm not sure who threw the pass. Fannigan, Hook, get rid of Corey Norman now. How was he involved in that? He's had two runs again. They've had a set of six on the goal line. He's had two runs on his own. Mate, he

Mate, they're just hopeless. When he touches the ball, everything stops. Give the kids a go. For heaven's sake, you're an old man who basically was a never was. How dare you say that about Hook? No.

Corey Norman, for heaven's sake. Anything else you want to get off your chest? Oh, dear. Brad's online at DY. G'day, Brad. How are yous all? Good, mate. Good, Brad. As a depressed Dragons fan, what's happening? We'll be finishing fourth last. Well, I think the barbecue's a very lame excuse.

I think they were going like bastards beforehand. They celebrated because they got an 88th minute field goal to beat the Warriors. They were lucky to be in the eight for most of the year. And your man kicked that field goal, didn't he? I think Norman kicked it, yeah. As I said, he's done a few things since he's been at the Dragons. He's kicked about three or four field goals. Thank you, Brad. You had to, Daryl, didn't you? You just had to. But you've got to tell the truth, Pete. I mean, he's on $800,000 a year or something. He's worth about $10,000. LAUGHTER

He was very strong with his opinions. I forgot about Corey Norman. He's been in the past for a while. Boys, there's some lovely messages coming through and look, we do want to celebrate his life today and it is still upsetting for a lot of us and we'll get our chance to say goodbye on Thursday. Willow's been a regular contributor to this program. He's a

lover of the continuous call team and we always see him out there at Penrith. He sent me this this morning and just wanted me to share it with our listeners. He says, hey mate, I won't get a chance to text in today but if you get a chance could you read this out as a text into the show? When Davey joined the continuous call team it was like he'd been there from day one. He fit in beautifully. I've never heard someone go from talking about Usain Bolt winning Olympic gold

gold to then rattling off who won the Gundagai under 18s 100 meters in 1979 his knowledge was elite the love for Davey was obvious from yourself Levy and Big Man Gal and all the team not a weekend has gone by this year that he hasn't got a mention on a Saturday or a Sunday the boy George and Bart Cummings stories are legendary but my favorite is when you'd hear a groan and a mumble

of, for God's sake, come through the microphone, and it was Davey blowing up, realising the dragons were wearing the red jeans. That's beautiful. Just on the Bart Cummings stories, and, Daryl, you can probably share this, because...

it's as if he wanted people to know who he was talking about and we just thought we knew who he was talking about and when you questioned him, he looked at you and says, how do you not know who I'm talking about? Yeah, well, he was one of the great name droppers of all time Davo. We could talk about whatever you're talking about and next minute he'd bring up

you know, anybody, anyone famous, he knew them. And he knew them for a long time. Since I've known him. Since I've known him. Since he was a boy. I went out to lunch the other day with Bart. Like, we're just sitting here saying, Bart. Bart who? Bart who?

Bart Cummings, the grandest horse trainer of all time. I mean, as if we were supposed to know that. Like, I've never seen a bloke enjoy his life more than him. Like, he'd go out to lunch every day, wouldn't he? Have lunch, a thousand drinks, whatever. And then, you know, he just mixed with the best people.

drank the best stuff, ate the best food. You know what? In his 71 years, he fitted a fair bit into it. He certainly did. Great life. A great life. Elena's at Illawong. Hello, Elena.

Hi, how are you all, boys? Good, thank you. I just really wanted to convey my sadness in losing such a wonderful bloke. I felt like I knew him, which is weird, but my eldest brother, who passed away many years ago, used to love him religiously and listen to him on ABC Grandstand, and I'm sure he would have been at the Pearly Gates...

giving him a schooner of rushes as he came through. But I just want to send my love and strength to his family and, of course, all you boys there. And just, yeah, it just really hit me hard that we lost such a special person. We certainly did. Good on you, Elena. That's a lovely call. Thank you so much for ringing in. Frances is in Brisbane. Hello, Frances.

Hello, my name is Hello. Boys, look, I'm a first-time caller, but one thing I want to say to you all, I want to give you... It brings me to tears. I want to give you the best thanks ever in your life for the beautiful, loving way you spoke of thirsty. He loved his reds and it was wonderful that you visited him while he was in hospital.

That would have made his wife and girls so pleased to think that you took the time to go and see him. That was so lovely. And I hope as time goes by, you boys go and meet him.

because you have such beautiful hearts and souls, and it's so lovely to have a group of men speak the way they do. Thank you very much, Frances. That's very, very kind, and we're going to miss you, and that's for sure and certain. Frances, I thank you so much for your call. I'm going to live my life like every day's the last Without a simple goodbye

All goes by so fast. Now that you're gone, I can't cry hard. No, I can't cry for you to hear. Gonna open my eyes and see for the first time. I've let go of you like a child letting go of his kind.

I can't cry.

No, I can't cry hard enough for you to hear me. There it goes, up in the sky. It goes beyond the clouds for no reason why. I can't cry enough. No, I can't cry hard enough for you to hear me. For no reason why.

I can't cry, I can't cry, I can't cry, I can't cry. You don't hear... Yeah, we'll continue to share some of our memories and some of the, well, the funnier moments involving Davy. And I know his wife, Christine, and the two girls are listening at home. Boys, I just had a message from Emily, actually.

And she said, Mark, he did actually hate those red jerseys, but the other one he didn't like, South Sydney's black numbers on the jerseys. That was another one as well. Don't worry. There was a fair bit of stuff he didn't like. Oh, here's another one. And he lets you know. Daytime fireworks.

So my job as the host, you know, build it up. Here we go, ladies and gentlemen, big preliminary final. To call all of the action, David Morrow. These bloody daytime fireworks. You can't see anything through this smoke. Good stuff. We'll take a break and come back with plenty more. There's so many messages coming through. Thank you very much. We'll come back with plenty more in just a second.

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.

Look, another bloke who's been a long-time fan of this program, and you hear us refer to him as Phil for us. He's phoned through from Albury. G'day, Phil.

Yeah, g'day, Levy, big gal, and Flano. Hope you're all doing OK, mate. It's a very tough time for everyone. I just want to send my condolences to, obviously, Davey's family, you blokes, and everybody concerned for his passing. Just want to thank him for everything that he's contributed over the years.

And I guess from my point of view, in the last, you know, seven or eight years since he's joined this show, just from my point of view, I'm just very blessed to be able to meet him, have a bit of fun with him over the years, mainly with the hunt for David Morrow. I'm up from time to time. I know David loved it and all. LAUGHTER

But, yeah, I'm sure he's upstairs catching up with his old mates at the pub upstairs. Absolutely. I can imagine the stories. Well, it's funny you say that, Phil, because there was one here, a message that came through in and amongst the hundreds we're receiving saying virtually that I'm sure Davey has probably found Shane Warne somewhere and he's just hammering him with stories about his flipper and all those sorts of things. So you have no doubt that he'd be doing exactly that.

It'll be thrown a few googly's as well, yeah? Yeah, absolutely. Good on you, mate. And thank you for your support of the show over a long, long time. Thank you, mate. You're a good man. Matt Thompson, who did a brilliant job in very difficult circumstances on Wednesday night, calling State of Origin for Wednesday night. And like me, Davey was a father figure to Matty and they were extremely close. And I know Matt's put something together for his funeral on Thursday and he's been driving around. He just sent me a lovely text message. He's on the line. G'day, Matty.

G'day, boys. Yeah, I'm a bit emotional, actually. It's kind of just all hit home, I think, listening to the start of the show. It's just such a sad thing. You know, he, apart from the brilliance of the broadcaster, you know, Davey was a bit gruff and cranky, as you've already touched on at the start of the show at times. But honestly, there's never been a bloke with a softer kind of heart. And, you know, it's just so to see him

reduced to what happened at the end there was so unfair and um i'm glad he's at rest but you know i miss him already it's actually hard to believe he's not here anymore yeah and and maddie he took such a keen interest in your two boys um in the sporting uh sport they play and when you took over from ray warren which was an unenviable task and you've done it brilliantly the man who was there to support him and give you words of encouragement was davey wasn't he

Yeah, like, I got a lot of messages sort of ahead of my first origin three years ago, but the one I cherished the most is from him. You know, he sort of sent it the night of the game and it meant everything to me. And, yeah, like, he sent Jacob messages to congratulate him on, you know, getting 20 or 30 when he was batting. You know, the kids love him and my wife, Ruth, loves him. We've had any number of lunches out where he was holding court and...

And the last time he was at the footy with us was grand final day. And I took the time just to... I got there really early as I do. I sat down on the lounge there at Coors Stadium. And I reckon we just had a chat, casual chat for about 20 minutes or so. And normally I wouldn't do that. I'm normally sort of pretty focused. But I took the time. And gee, I'm glad I did because we just sat there and talked about all manner of things. And, you know...

Like our friendship, we met through broadcasting and rugby league, but...

you know it was about so much more than that like we're both cricket nuffies and i could be watching some crappy game from the other side of the world at 11 o'clock at night and i'd send him a text because i know i know he'd be watching as well and we you know we we conversed along that so look i've lost as you have someone um not just a colleague but someone extremely close to me and um yeah it's ripped me apart

Matty, you're going to do him enormously proud at the Olympics, mate, in your swimming commentary and in your weightlifting commentary. And I'm sure when you hopefully call an Olympic gold medal in weightlifting like Davey did with Dean Lucan all those years ago, you'll be thinking of the great man. And I know you've got his binoculars and you'll do him enormously proud, mate. You know what you meant to him and I know how much he meant to you. So you look after yourself and we're sending you a big hug, all right?

Thanks, boys. I'm off on Monday and yeah, it would have been great if you made it to be able to watch the Olympics but it suffered long enough and

Yeah, have a good afternoon remembering our dear friend. Good on you, money. You keep your chin up, buddy. There he is, Matt Thompson, our colleague, and he's calling the swimming for Nine's Wide World of Sports over in Paris. We'll take another break and come back with more very shortly. 131873, the number 0460873873. A commentator helps define big moments. You can hear that with Thirsty, that try to manipulate

Inga in 1990 has always played and people remember it because of his great commentary. So right and it's been replayed over and over this week for obvious reasons. That try synonymous with David Morrow, his voice and calling two greats of the game, Ricky Stewart and Malmen Inga. Here it comes now to Lindner. We're well into injury time. 40 seconds in fact as it comes away. He's waiting for it. Oh what a try. What a try. What a run from Stewart and what a try.

Beautiful stuff. Thank you very much for that lovely message. Let me share a few more here. Mark, I heard that song last night and cried and crying again now. I think he was larger than life. And what he said recently about being grateful for all things in his life, that is something we should all do now to honour him from Carol. Thank you, Carol, in Queensland. Another one here from Susan. Guys, love it when Thirsty's talked about being in the bar in London.

when he walked in and Rod Stewart was at the piano. Thirsty, what a legend. Yeah, what did he say? He said, step aside, Rod. Time for me to tickle the ivories. And then after he got there and started chatting to Rod, that's where Rod came up with the song, Wake Up. What is it? Wake Up, Maggie. I think I want to speak with you. Rod had fallen asleep after Davey was chatting to him for about half an hour. Oh.

131873 is the number. Good afternoon, Mark. Just want to know, how did David learn about all the rivers? See, that's another issue. Because I used to love hearing about all the rivers. Well, he knew just about every river in Australia. I'm not sure about overseas, but he did know every river. He used to just sit there. He knew all about every river in Australia. He knew a lot about ants.

He used to sit there Christmas Day, I think, and other days and just watch ants. I love it. I've heard you, Darrell, this week describe him as one of the most unique people you've ever met. Absolutely. He's more unique than anyone I've met. Here's another example of his uniqueness. Actually, it'll just be interesting. I was watching all these kids out here playing, and I just watched this keen observer out there, a mum.

Smiling. Taking moving pictures of them. Hey, video. And another one that he'll never live down is when he told us about champion, buddy and mate. Australia's longest running sports program. The Continuous Call Team. So they're your niece's kids. My niece's daughters, yeah. What are their names?

pippa isabella and uh and a new 100 yeah just repeat that for confirmation

Mate and buddy. Come here, darling. That's a knock on the door. Darling, there's someone here to sell you something. Oh, it's my niece. We're staying for the weekend. Welcome. Take a look.

Too good. We're remembering our great mate David Morrow. We'll take a break. Be back with more. We will talk State of Origin after the news at 2 o'clock. We just wanted to dedicate our first hour of this Saturday show to David Morrow, given the news this week of his passing. And as I've mentioned, we will say farewell to him on Thursday morning over in Coogee. So we look forward to doing that and giving him the send-off that he thoroughly deserves. 131873, the number.

I know there's thousands of messages of love and respect for Davey and I wanted to add mine. Growing up in the country, he was the soundtrack of sport for all of us out there as the ABC was all we had.

But thank the Lord they let him go and Ray brought him to the continuous call team. It's only been since then his true personality was allowed to bloom on radio. What a legend. I reckon every Queenslander in that stadium on Wednesday was respectful because every one of them would have known who he was. Such was the legend of the man. Thank you very much.

for that lovely message. From Dubbo at Wayne at Dubbo. A continuous call, team. I never met the man. I never spoke to the man, but I sure as hell love listening to the man. What a legend you guys got to work with and share in his company. The only choice we had to listen to in the country for many years through the ABC. How lucky we were. We didn't need another choice. Rest in peace, Davey Thirsty Morrow. That one from Wayne in Dubbo. 0460...

Shane, you were just talking to us about our post-season celebration on the Monday where we all got up and did some karaoke. Yes. And look, Davey was a little bit reluctant at first, wasn't he? He was. He said he wasn't going to get up there and sing and make a fool of himself, but I think Paul Callan helped him up on stage and did quite a good job. Well, it's funny. This is what I found in the system.

I still remember carrying him up on stage. I don't think he was very impressed. And when I got him there, he refused to stand up. And it was...

he's getting quite heavy after 10 or 20 seconds and he just would not stand up and think, well, I can't drop this old man. I'm going to break his hips. Thankfully, eventually stood himself up and jumped up on stage and sang the song. Remember the beautiful song you sang? Islands in the street. It was beautiful. It was a beautiful song. And I just want to, as well, I gave Anita, who works on Luke Grant's program, Anita,

It was very close with Davey. They always used to have a good chat when he came into the office. And it was always funny because we used to take the mickey out of Davey when he'd walk in because it was the same every single Saturday and Sunday. Hello. Hello, Anita.

That was before he went to the photocopy machine. Yes, exactly. You know, and then photocopied whatever he photocopied. I don't know what he photocopied, but he did it every day. He did it every day. He wasn't a fan of non-drinkers. Well, Norm May, my great mate and great mentor at the ABC for years, one of the greatest broadcasters, if not the greatest this country's ever produced. His first words to me when I first met him years ago, David, never trust a man that doesn't drink. LAUGHTER

The other one I loved was his battles with council. Who puts the bin on the street? No, the claw comes out and picks it up, puts it in the back and goes. Oh, that's good. So when it's hiding on the footpath or behind a car, how's the claw going to get to it? Well, you put it in the right spot. You can't, Peggy, where I live. LAUGHTER

Because you put it so you don't interrupt the traffic flow, like most of the eastern suburbs that I know of. So someone comes along and puts the bin out on the street so then when the truck comes down the street, they can pick the bin up.

What are the sort of things you complain to council about? Would they have your email sort of on direct reply because they cop a few emails from you? No, no. You wouldn't be considered one of those, you know, angry residents. No, I sometimes ring them, as do other people in our street, when we get an abundance of garbage dropped in the street. When you ring, is it like this?

Hello, Randwick City Council Mayor. Mr Mayor. David Morrow. No, we haven't got a Mr Mayor, we've got a female mayor, so it wouldn't be Mr Mayor. How's she going? Is she doing a good job? No. You are so predictable. Oh, so good. We're off to a break. We'll come back with more.

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.

Yeah, of course, David Morrow had a wonderful television career as well. But when it came to a very popular television show that's been going for decades, Davey had no idea. The Continuous Call Team. Another season 2021 highlight. What about personalities on TV or characters on TV that you wish were real-life characters? I've got one. Alp Stewart. Imagine living next door to Alp Stewart. Strokes! LAUGHTER

Is that the Home and Away guy, Raymar? Is that the Home and Away guy? Well, I don't know. Is that the Home and Away guy? I just know that Raymar is called Alf in Home and Away. Why don't you ring up his next door neighbor and see what it's like? I'm not being rude. The real life one. I do know that Raymar plays Alf in Home and Away, but don't tell me what Alf's surname is. That's why I was like, right, now I know. But I'm not being silly. I mean, God. Yeah.

How many 68-year-olds you've watched home and away? It's been on for 50 years. I think everybody's watched home and away. Mate, it isn't that old. How old do you reckon it is? 20 years. I'd say 30, 30 years. Even if it's 20 years old, that's a fair estimate. Nah, more than that. Because I'm 41. It's been on before I was 20. Yeah, it's been on before he was born. Well, that's only 20 years. It'd be 30 years, wouldn't it? First broadcast on the Seven Network on the 17th of January 1988. Yeah.

Is that right? Yeah. Well, I probably wouldn't have seen it. I was seven. What?

It's on at 7 o'clock at night. How many people my age would be home to watch something at 7 o'clock at night that involves kids running along a beach? I think everyone would be home at 7 o'clock at night your age. How old would you be? You were about 30 then. Most people who are 30 would be home. At 7 o'clock at night, I'd either be watching the news or having dinner. Or coming home from lunch. Yeah, good day, Chris. I'm home now. LAUGHTER

Like, I mean, you're right, David. How many imbeciles will be home at 7 o'clock at night time watching television? One of your best. One of his best, all right. Just quickly, the other one that I loved was there was a day he came in here, he says...

what about this week, boys? I went through a drive-thru. I went, what? That's right. He'd never been through a drive-thru. He goes, I just did it for the experience. He hadn't been through one. No, never. Went through a McDonald's drive-thru for the experience. He says, what about they've got two windows you pay at the first one? Unbelievable. Unbelievable.

We're off to a break. We'll come back with more. Again, we wanted to dedicate our first hour to David Morrow. We're going to move on with State of Origin next hour, but we'll continue to share some of your messages and some of the highlights throughout the afternoon as we remember our great mate who will be laid to rest on Thursday. And I'm sure you'll be able to watch that service via live stream. When we get the details, we'll certainly let you know. We've got a break for some news. We'll come back with the next hour of the Continuous Call team on this Saturday.

Welcome back. Next hour, the continuous call team as we do it from our brand new interactive Olympic studio here in our Pyrmont studios in Sydney. And I should mention these strong winds across Sydney at the moment are causing all sorts of problems. We've had trees down. I believe there are power outages in various parts of Sydney at the moment.

I am being told by members of the New South Wales Police Force that the electricity has been cut off at Pyrmont where these 50 people were trapped in a light rail carriages. Thankfully, no injuries. And those passengers are in the process of being removed if they haven't already. So some good news in relation to that. If you see anything worth reporting on the roads or if the power out at your place, please let us know. 131873, the number. You can text us 0460 873 873.

And you can email us via the websites where you click onto the feedback icon. Of course, Rugby League last night, it was a win to the Raiders over the Warriors by 20 points to 18. Coming up in an hour from now, the Rabbitohs take on the West Tigers. Team news has come through. And the team news for you, Cam Murray is suspended, so Talis Duncan will start in the back row. Liam LeBlanc joins the bench in 20. Dion Tauper is the 18th man, while for the West Tigers,

They line up as per the program, 1-17. Justin Matamua is the 18th man. And we should congratulate our colleague Damien Cook, who was with us last week. He plays his 200th game for the South Sydney Rabbitohs. I always wanted to play 200 games at this club. And so, yeah, we'll make it a little bit emotional this weekend. But definitely we'll enjoy the moment as well for the club giving me this opportunity to be able to get to 200.

So, you know, looking forward to it and hopefully we can get the result and keep pushing in the finals. Later this afternoon, 5.30, we'll bring you the action between Newcastle and Brisbane. And later on tonight, it's the Melbourne Storm and the Roosters. That should be a cracker at Amy Park. Now, gentlemen, on to State of Origin. Like I said, we wanted to dedicate our first hour to Davey, but I know what he'd be saying. He'd be saying, come on, fellas, get on with entertaining the listeners and having a laugh and talking some footy, which...

He loved doing with us on a Friday, Saturday and a Sunday. And Paul Gallen, you were there with Channel 9 down on the sideline and you got to, well, bask in the glory of a rare New South Wales win and series victory at Suncorp Stadium. Yeah, I mean, only three times in the history of Rojan have they won a decider up there and what a game it was. It was like...

It was such a brutal game. It was such a good game to sit there and watch so close. I mean, what I'm really happy about was our spine, particularly our halves and our fullback. That's one area, particularly when I was playing and even in the last few years, where Queensland have always dominated. Whenever everyone else sort of cancelled themselves out, their halves and their fullback have always come to the forefront of the game and come up with some sort of special play to win the match and

I think there was a difference the other night. Everyone else sort of cancelled themselves out. The backs ripped in, the forwards ripped in and when New South Wales needed something, their halves came up with it. Obviously, Lillway made that break beating Nene. Gago took his show, set up the first try and

And then, you know, with the game on the line, Mitchell Moses just takes the ball, takes the line on, steps off his left foot, gets through the gap and beats a fullback for a try. Obviously, Dylan Edwards was banned in the match, so I was just really pleased for them guys to come to the forefront of the match and get the job done for New South Wales. But,

Cracking game. Full credit to Queensland. I don't like giving Queenslanders reps, as we know, but they were brave. To be fair, I think New South Wales should have won by more, to be fair, but the Queenslanders were so brave. They were galling in defeat, but the Blues got the job done. Probably the favourite part of my night, to be honest, was...

With six, seven minutes to go in the match, there was empty seats in the crowd. And that actually made me laugh because the Queenslanders bang on about their spirit and this and that. Now they never give up and they're there to the final whistle. They had to score twice in the last six minutes of the match, which is quite possible these days. We know how quickly a game can turn.

And the seats were empty. They left. How many seats were empty? Heaps. Honestly, big man, there were lots. I must admit, I didn't notice it. There were vacant patches. There were vacant patches in the crowd. Everyone else noticed that? Yes, I did. You noticed that? No, I didn't. No, Levy did. You probably weren't looking, but I was sitting there. Were you there, Shane? No, I wasn't. Okay, fair enough. Well, I'm telling you right now. People at home saw it. I've said it to a few people during the week how happy it made me. No, they weren't there, though. No, they weren't there. And they said, well, you can see it on TV. And I'm talking two or three people. Be humble.

I'm being very humble. I just gave Queensland a rap. Yeah, I know. But what I'm happy about... But there's a but in it. Of course there's a but in it. Of course there is. And because of the way you guys bang on about your spirit and you're always there to the final whistle... We got it, mate. A lot of spirit in Queensland. As you said, they were brave. You know why, Gav? Because they're Queenslanders. Queenslanders. They were very brave. They played fantastically well. It was a great game, as I said. But that's the part that made me happy. We look forward, not backwards.

Yes, not in the rearview mirror. Darrell, you know what? And I actually spoke to Billy Viatetch this week, and he said, look, I'm not disappointed. I'm extremely proud of the team. And what Gow said is right. They were phenomenal, both those football teams, in probably some of the best quality football we've seen in a long, long time. I think it's probably the best origin effort from a collective group of players that I've ever seen. Yeah.

There was, like, in that first half, Queensland did come out and tried to give it to New South Wales because they...

They got hammered in game two, Queensland. And they changed their... Well, maybe not changed their tactics, but they changed the way they were going to... I'm just watching some TV. The way they were going to do what they were going to do at the Blues. They started sticking it into the Blues. And they were very physical. The whole game, they were very physical, Queensland. You know what? People say to me, that was really old school, like an old state of origin game. Well, to a certain degree, it was.

But it was much faster than what it was 10, 15 years ago, 20 years ago, however long you want to go back. It was not only brutal and tough, it was fast. And it was an unbelievably good game. And at the end of the day, it just came down to probably a little bit of laziness and tiredness from the Queenslanders. The Blues took advantage of it and they deserved to win. So congratulations to them. It's on again next year.

24 series to 17, so we're still in front. Tell me to be humble. Tell me to be humble. We lost, mate. How can I be humble?

You did lose. So you know what, Gail? You won't even be around by the time you've even drawn level. Well, if I'm not, you certainly won't be. Big part. He's too good. Flato, another player that I wanted to touch on, Angus Crichton, who won the Wally Lewis medal. I said on Wednesday night, and I'll repeat it again today, what he's done to rebuild himself as not only a human being but a first-grade rugby league player, to put himself in that origin team...

and to go on and win a Wally Lewis medal. That just goes to show what a quality bloke he is. Oh, without a doubt. You know, I watched a bit of a show, I think it was on Channel 9, about his problems that he's had post the World Cup last year. And, you know, he was really honest, honest,

appraisal where he was from a mental health state. I thought it was very brave for him to come out and do that on screen. And then his form, since the club decided to go and chase David Fafida, he never dropped. His form was still good around that period of time, but it just went to another level. And to put it in the back of your mind and just go out there and play football with what he's been through is just a credit to him. And he's such a

dominant player out in the football, both sides of the ball. I thought both of our back rowers, I thought Liam Martin was outstanding as well, just tough. You know, you go to those type of players, but, you know, to answer your question about Angus, he's had a fantastic year and he deserved the medal. Overall, I thought the game was, the first half was probably the best half of football I've seen for a long time. I was just waiting for

to stop or be a scrum or have a break or there was someone injured. It just didn't stop you and you didn't know where to look.

Look, I thought credit to both sides. I know someone, you know, obviously had to lose, but Billy should be really proud of his team. They competed really hard for him for a long period of time. And, you know, I thought the difference in the end, and I've never really been a fan of either of the players, but Jerome Luai was outstanding through the series. You know, to come into that, we always talk about Nathan. Nathan, what a great player he is, which he is.

But for Jerome to come in and dominate at that level, I thought was outstanding. And then Mitchell Moses, the two games he played, wow, what a performance. I sent a message to Mitchell the other day after the Origin. Did you say you're off contract? Yeah, I did say that. But I said to him that whatever his footy career finishes, hopefully he wins a grand final.

But he'll look back at that Origin Series, and for me, it's just made Mitchell Moses that elite halfback. And probably, you know, people argue that he hasn't, he's probably been paid on potential because Parra haven't won a grand final. But now you can see why he's number one at that club and deserves every cent he can get. He was outstanding. I think on Mitchell Moses, I was critical of him for quite a while as well, but I think the last three or four years, he has developed into something.

an outstanding player. He's an outstanding player. And I don't know whether that's because he's got a family now. I don't know. He's got a daughter, hasn't he? A little daughter. I'm not sure. Everything leading to that, though, big man. There was a few doubts about whether he could do it. Absolutely there were. He played a game three last year, which is a dead rubber no one cared about. Game two this year, the forward pack absolutely dominated the opposition. I know he was man of the match, but I still believe a forward probably should have gone because that was so dominant. But game three this year,

When everyone sort of cancels themselves out, it comes down to those game managers who can get the job done. As Flynn and myself said, Luai and him were the difference. For him to stand up and score that individual try inside the last 10 minutes, that's an elite half. Wasn't I saying that? Yes, you were, but I'm backing you up. I'm agreeing with you. What the hell? I'm with you. You know what else has been lost in all of the sort of post-mortem to origins and everything else? I reckon Zach Lomax deserves a rap for his goal-kicking.

Because he had some extremely difficult kicks and he nailed every one of them. The first one, the first one a metre in from touch when it's 2-0. That was a huge point. And his play. I don't want to rap Flannoy, but Flannoy put him on the wing this year. I don't think he was probably happy with it.

I wonder what he's thinking now.

He's a hell of a player. Yeah, well, sometimes, Zach, you know, at club level, you know, we talked about quality rather than quantity. And, you know, in that arena, you know, he still puts his hand up and carries the football and just wants it. And sometimes, you know, you need to get back out onto your edge and be in position in case they shift. But, you know, he's made for that type of football where you've just got to turn up and carry the football. And as you said, Mark, he's goal-kicking. We didn't get a goal-kicking coach this year, I thought,

that we could do it ourselves. And, you know, Zach's taken, you know, his practice really, really, you know, puts a lot of time into it, doesn't miss it, and makes sure that he does it every training session. And, you know, I watch him every day that he kicks, and he's a quality kicker. Last year he didn't have a real good year with the boot. He was only around 70%, but this year he's been pretty good. And hopefully there's some big kicks to come. He's definitely still going to Parra? Yeah, we signed a contract there, so. He's not staying at Dragons?

Can't turn him around? It's not my job to Paul. You know, he signed a contract there. I don't want to be dabbling in all that sort of stuff. You know, he signed a contract and, you know, we let him go. So, yeah, we're just going to move on. Whether he wants to go or wants to stay, that's not a question for me to ask. All right.

All right, fantastic. 131873, the number. You can email us via the website. You can text us as well, 0460873873. Just quickly, from the Penrith Panthers, they're resting all of their Origin stars for tomorrow's clash with the Dolphins. So Dylan Edwards and Isaiah Yeo were initially given the week off.

Now we're told Brian Todd, Jerome Luai and Liam Martin, who were named in the reserves, have been given a rest this weekend. Nathan Cleary, though, he will return from a hamstring injury, which is great news for the Mountain Men and great news for the National Rugby League. Why did they do it this week, Mark? That's stupid from... Should they have done it against you?

Because he wants them to beat the Dolphins so the Dragons can get on top. I know exactly where that's coming from. They should play this week and have a rest next week. Oh, you play them next week, I guess. I love it. And this is your third bye this week, is it? Yes. Okay. And what's your run home like?

They're all tough. Every game's tough. We've got Penrith and Melbourne the next two weeks, so we've got to jag one of them. Get two of them, we'll probably play semifinals. But, yeah, we've got a reasonable... Got a lot of home games, but we're like a lot of other teams. Just got to win. Well, look, we're going to give you a bit of stick later in the show, but I will say this. You've done a very, very good job at the Dragon, Shane. You should be enormously proud of yourself and the team as well. Well done, Shane. There'll be a bonus. Shane with a Y.

Yeah, Michael McGuire, the New South Wales coach, will be joining us in the next 10 minutes. Just back to having a bit of a laugh for a second. Shane Flanagan, you were just telling us that you took advantage of this outage yesterday that affected people not only here in Australia but around the world. You were down having a beer with some mates. What

What did you do? Did you stitch them up? Yeah, I stitched them up. I said to them, I went, my card won't work at the bar because of this outage. And I said, there's yours. And they all, yeah, yeah, mine worked, mine worked. So you drink for free? For the first hour, I didn't go. That's such a lie. I guarantee it's not for the first hour. I've been with them for the whole time. No, no, it's only for an hour. So you drink for free last night and you can drink for free again tonight?

Yeah, well, Daryl's daughter's 30th tonight. I should have mentioned that too. It's Ruby's 30th today as her birthday. Happy birthday. And she's having a little party tonight at JD's. So I was going to say you're all welcome, but only Shane is. Would you believe Ruby invited me? No, I wouldn't. She doesn't like you.

How do you know? Because she's my daughter. I know her. I said, if you ever speak to someone with the name Gallant, stay away from me. Well, I'm going to turn up tonight to see if she tells me to go away or not. You won't get in, mate. How do you know? I bet I do. I've got security. I bet I get in tonight. I bet you. Okay, you might get in. Yeah, you'll get in. You'll get in. I was just thinking too, Shane, there is something that I need to address with you. And that is something that was said on this program last week. Yeah.

Now, there was an issue this year where a South Sydney player got into a lot of strife for swearing on the radio. This is, yes, a little bit different. But I'm just going to play it to you and then I'll ask you a question. Oh, it's Jamos, mate. Congratulations on the win, mate. I thought you were outstanding. How was the old man after the game? Obviously, he would have been happy with the result. But that last 20 minutes, he kind of took the foot off the pedal and the Broncos nearly came back in the end.

Yeah, J-Moz. Yeah, he was pretty disappointed after the game. I guess I probably didn't last too long. He was sinking piss after that. LAUGHTER You got the bye next week? He's a little comfortable talking to us, Kylie, isn't he? Yeah, I said to him, you've got to be careful, Levy, Gow and Broman. They'll lead you down a bad path. Didn't take much leading. LAUGHTER

Yeah, well, it was actually the first time, believe it or not, all year 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 sitting around. By the time you get back, it's like 11, 11.30, so it's pretty late. But those boys don't seem to worry about it. Should have had a barbecue. I understand. Not funny, Paul. Yeah.

That was very good. I understand it didn't worry J-Moz on Wednesday night in Brisbane. I understand he had a bender or something. J-Moz and Greg Bird. They reckon Greg Bird was in absolutely flying form. And they reckon if it wasn't Greg Bird, he would have been kicked out and New South Wales weren't winning. Of course, they reckon he was just on fire.

Wow. Jamos wasn't far behind him. I've heard some vicious rumours about a big night from a few people. Jamos? No. Does Jamos... I don't think I've been out on the drink with Jamos. Is he like maniac on the drink or not? Nah, he's pretty good. He's a lot of fun. Yeah, he's good, Jamos. Does he just...

Like, go quiet like when he's on air? No, he has a conversation. He's okay. I saw Carl this morning, actually, at the cafe. Unless he walks into a room with a hell of a lot of PowerPoints. He likes a River Nile. Yes, exactly. Exactly. He gets lost in those rooms. And then he gets stuck there and he refuses to come out.

I hope his wife's not listening. 131873, the number. 2GB.com, 4BC.com.au. Click onto the feedback icon. Shane, just while we're talking about you for a second. Oh, can't we get off, mate? No, no, no, no, because I said that I'd bring this up this weekend. I deliberately sent it to you because I knew it would get a start. No, no, no, no.

Shane sent me a photo of him at my little place that we're opening pronto and he had his feet up on the booth lounges that have just been put together and I was not very happy with him

And then anyway, so we were down at the airport and I decided to ring Shane about something. And he said, stop big noting in and amongst Danica and Gus Warland. I said, they want in on your coffee run on Saturday. We powerful media types will start bagging you in the dragons. Of course they do because I'm high profile, said Shane. And then he said, Wayne, Craig and Shane, not in that order.

This bloke has got a little bit of success and he's out of control. He's back. I love saying stuff like that to you. Not in that order. Well, they're all premiership winners. Yes.

Some of them have won multiple premierships. Of course, Shane hasn't. I don't think Shane would be on the same level, though, as Wayne and Craig. Well, he might be one day. You never know. Oh, look at you defending your little mate. Good on you, Darrell. Look at you defending your little mate. It's a stupid statement made by him. You know what was even stupider? You know what was even stupider? Lever rings me from the airport. Yeah. Ha, Danica. Ha, Gus. And he just keeps trotting all these names off. And I felt like saying, I don't care who you're at the airport with.

They wanted it on your coffee order. Yeah. And I know you've got out of it. Andrew Lucas has bought the coffees today. Wasn't it your shout today, Marcus? Well, it was, but he decided to go and get them. I've got to give you a round of applause. Leave his shout yesterday. He shouted. Yesterday, everyone goes, come for a food at Prono for a food. He said, come for a feed at Prono. I said, oh, man, I can't. I've got the kids.

Bring the kids. I turned up with three kids. Kids got to feed. They had dinner there. I didn't have any soft drink there. So I said, look, you can come down on the proviso that you stop and get a couple of bottles of soft drink. So because J-Moz was there, we have something to eat. And

Anyway, so he's called me about three times at the servo. So what do you want? Coke? Zero? Coke? No, what do you want? I said, mate, just get a couple of bottles of Coke. No, you said use some, what did you say? Use some initiative. Use some initiative. I said, but I know some people drink Coke Zero, normal Coke. Oh, it doesn't matter. I got a couple of these. Anyway, you should have seen him stuff his face when he turned up. Oh,

I loved it. Cody had a big steak too. Very nice. The girls are a bit fussy, those little babies, aren't they? Jeez, they knock back a cheesecake. What's wrong with them? They're fussy, them too. How many tries? Oh, this is the other thing I wanted to raise with you, Paul. So you're now bribing your kids.

So he was virtually death riding his daughter scoring tries during the week because he wanted to pay her $10 for every try she scored. And how many did she score? No, I didn't want to pay her. So this is the story. She plays under nine girls league tag and she started the first year along with all the rest of her friends. They have not got anywhere near a win this year. I'm talking their closest game has been 30 to four. They might've scored three tries as a team all year. So we're walking out the door and I said, you know what, mate, if every tag you get today, I'll give you a dollar.

And she said, what about if I score a try? And I started laughing. I was like, what do you want, darling? She goes, if I score a try, I want $10 for every try. I said, no problem, sweetie. I thought I was safe as hell. Because they seriously cannot score. She scored four tries. She scored four tries. The score in the game was something like 56 to 44. It was ridiculous. I could not get a tag. Did you renegotiate? No. Since then, I have. She asked me again. I said, no, no, we won't do that anymore.

darling. I nearly stitched him up yesterday. Cody was there, his son, and I said, Cody, you're a little bit older than Macy, so this is how you negotiate with Dad. Every try you score tomorrow, you get $20, Macy gets $10 for her try. She said, yeah, yeah, Levy, yeah, yeah, yeah. You want to manage me, Levy? Yeah, yeah. He never scored today. I actually got to watch him play today, which is good. I haven't seen him play this year too much at all, but

They won quite convincingly, but they didn't play that well, but he didn't get a try, so I'm safe today. Good on you, Katie. Well done, mate. 131873, 0460873873. On the way to the break, the New South Wales coach will be with us after the break. There's nothing more exciting than going to the footy

With minutes to go, the players switched on. There's a huddle in the locker room. The coach gives one last pep talk as the players get their game faces on. They run onto the field. The roar and excitement of the crowd, that's everything you'll experience when you get to a game on time. Here's the play.

Paul Gallen, Daryl Broman, Shane Flanagan, Mark Levy, the continuous call team on this Saturday afternoon. Well, what an origin series it was. New South Wales winning it two games to one. The Blues prevailing at Suncorp Stadium in a decider for the first time since 2005. And, gee, it was a bruising battle. Brutal game of football with the Blues winning it by 14 points to four. Their coach in his first series as a coach of the Blues is Michael Maguire, and he's on the line. G'day, Madge. Congratulations. All right.

Hey, Mark. Thank you very much, mate. Well, I know the boys will go into chapter and verse on the game itself, but I just wanted to ask you, and, you know, I've been a big supporter of yours for a number of years now. A couple of people have mentioned to me in the lead-up to the game that you got quite emotional talking about the passion and the pride in the New South Wales jumper, and I thought that really shone through on Wednesday night from your playing group. Did you break down a few times talking to your players about what this means to New South Wales?

Yeah, I let down a few secrets there, but yeah, I guess I did. You know, it's hard not to when you're

You've grown up watching a team, dreaming, and, mate, I would love to have been a player, but I didn't have that opportunity. But then all of a sudden I landed as a coach. So that's something there that, you know, I was wanting to do all my life. So I guess I probably did show a fair bit of emotion at Thompson. There's nothing wrong with that, mate. I mean, it's that sort of game, you know, at any level, let alone state of origin. Can I just want to ask you, as a coach...

How was it different coaching the best of the best as opposed to, you know, I know there's a lot of good players playing first grade rugby league, but how did you handle it different? Did you handle it differently coaching a New South Wales side as opposed to, say, West Tigers or Souths or whatever? No.

You do, Daryl. I mean, you sort of, you know, when you've got the best of the best, they already know how to play and you've got the talent. It's more about just bringing them together emotionally and being connected. So I work a lot more on that part, albeit I still do that at Clubland. But when you've got the best, you've got the best in every position, you don't really need to be too technical. Basically, they know how to do it. Whereas when you're at Clubland, you're dealing with,

Sprinkly have seen you guys and then you've got a lot of younger guys that you're trying to educate to be at a certain level but those guys are there for a reason and they've been doing it consistently and I was fortunate to pick a group of men that

they're all at the top of their game. I said, I want to pick on form. And every single one of them have been playing great footy. So they basically brought that to the table when they sort of walked in the door. So realistically, I just needed to make sure that they're all connected as a group. And I felt that that was something there that I really enjoyed doing with the players. So would you say you undercoached them a bit? Is that like, just as you, I understand what you just said, but you're sort of not, you're not really giving them anything that they haven't heard before.

Yeah, you give them a little sort of simple plan, I suppose, but then you pull that plan out of those players as well. I mean, look at the quality of the guys I had. Between the two halves, they play a certain way and then your back rowers like to run certain lines. You've got your middles that do certain attributes and I guess I've watched them so much prior to going into the camp, I know what their habits are and then I try and put the

team together and just showing each of the players the qualities of who they're playing with and then they tend to just, it's like the dot to dots, they just put them all together and away they go. But you keep it very simple because you've only got literally 10 days, three lots of 10 days of bringing the team together and the first part of that

sort of each camp you tend not to do too much because you've got a lot of media commitments and a few other things that you get to do together probably won't take them to a wave pool again you could have taken them horse riding yeah they wouldn't pull off a horse Madge firstly congratulations mate I thought not just the win but the way you handled you know the whole six to nine weeks was outstanding I thought

You stood up for the state in all your press conferences, which gave confidence to the team. I thought some of your comments about the glass houses actually started to fire them up a little bit. So congratulations on all that, not just on the field, but off the field. The little bit I've had to do, I was really proud of the way you represented the state as our coach. So congratulations on that.

But I've heard you say a few times about connection and obviously with Zach coming back to the Dragons, you know, we get a bit of a feel. They don't like to talk too much about what goes on in origin camps, but

The connection piece, I thought you did an outstanding job there. You know, every time you saw one of the players, they speak about camp and speak about their teammates. You spoke about it a lot, but to get it to happen is so hard. And, you know, obviously it all come together and it's an important part of winning football games. And you did a really good job in that space as well.

No, thanks, Flano. Probably I should be thanking you, mate. I'm glad you put him on the wing. He did a great job there. Yeah, and he came into camp. And I guess the first thing you do is, you know, you've got to connect, as you just said. I mean, that's what a team is. When you're under the pump in one of those big games, mate, you've only got each other.

And I guess that's something there that we've all tried to do as coaches do. But, you know, over the years, I've managed to sort of get a bit of experience in various teams. And I just basically tried to bottle that in what we did with the New South Wales boys. And, you know, real credit to the playing group. They've got a buy-in and they all came in wanting to win for the state.

I think we did a lot of work around where they've come from and we went back to the 85 when they first won so players start to understand what it really meant to people and I think that's what the State of Origin team stand for it is about the people and look I did come out and say it's the people's team but

And you've got 9 million people and everywhere you go, everyone was talking about Origin. And, you know, I got sick and tired of hearing about they've got this and that and passion. And, mate, it's alive and well here in New South Wales. And I just wanted the players to connect to that. And, you know, they jumped on board and helped us out. Go, Madge. Go, Madge. Yes. Go, Madge. Yes. Go, Madge. Yes.

Why didn't you show some when you were playing, girl? I've done my best. Unfortunately, I was playing against a few immortals. Madge, just one last quick one. Obviously, there wasn't a bad player in the decider, but Angus Crichton, outstanding, you know, and the story behind that. But, you know, the halves get so much pressure and scrutinised when you lose, but your two halves through the whole series. I know that Michel only played two, but, you know, they got you home in the end.

Oh, they did, Fano. You know, Jerome was excellent. You know, he just played his style of game and the players around him connected with him and Mitch kept it really simple and we all know his kicking game and in an origin, it's all about your kick. You know, the further you get down the field, you're looking after your front row. So we just set up to make sure he could get his kick away and he did a great job and it was really nice to sort of see both those players break the game open in such a massive dogfight. You know, they were

backwards and forwards both teams and because the ruck was slow and they went both ways, we had to really chip away at trying to find something and those two boys found that which was awesome. I'd hate to buy carpet off the referee because it was about 8 metres the tan. It was a short tan. It was a very slow play the ball for the game 2-3. You blokes have won. We got the win, we're alright. We spoke a lot about connection in this interview and

Game one, you were beating, what, 38 points to 10, whatever it was. What was the main message going into game two?

to turn it all around. Yeah, I just felt there was a tightness in the group in the game one. And obviously, when you're thrown in that circumstance, it was going to be tough. But I felt that there was a lot of fight in that game. And then I just spoke a lot about that. I said, mate, game one's gone, and we've got to take that strength of what we fought for each other in the game two. And I felt that they really did that. And we had a couple of guys come in which had a bit more experience, which

sort of added to the feeling of the team, which then took us forward into that second game. And they did a great job. But I knew the game three was going to be a real fight. You know, and everyone told me about going up there. It's near impossible. But we sort of blocked it out and said, no, we're going to create something here. And that's what the boys did. Great stuff. One last one, Madge. When the boys arrived at work today, we were talking about Origin and everything else. We were puzzled, though.

by the baseball bat. Can you shed some light on the baseball bat in the sheds? I actually have no idea what you're talking about. Come on, Major. Listen, Michael, all of the support that I've given you, some of the rubbish that's been written about you, can you give me something? What was the baseball bat? We might have to have a beer out of that one. Yeah, I'm coming. I'm coming, mate. Going in.

You know what? I'd prefer the beer anyway. Good stuff. All right, Madge. Well, mate, again, thank you very much for the time you've given us here on the Continuous Call team and Wide World of Sports for that matter. Congratulations. Well deserved. You've joined the likes of Phil Gould, Brad Fittler, Ricky Stewart, who have won a series in your first campaign as a coach.

And I'll tell you what, you're putting together a great CV, Super League, Challenge Cup, NRL Premiership, that victory with the Kiwi Test team over the Kangaroos, now an Origin Series victory. You can coach, mate, and you should be enormously proud of yourself and we as a state say a big thank you to you and to your playing group. Bring on next year, eh?

Thanks, Mark. Thanks, boys. Really appreciate it. I appreciate your support. Good on you, mate. There he is, Michael Maguire, the New South Wales Blues coach off the back of a 2-1 series victory over Queensland. We're off to a break. We'll come back with plenty more.

Now, Big Mom, we need to say a big thank you to McDonald's because we arrived at work today with the biggest-looking sauce sachets from McDonald's. And the team at Macca's have sent us the Nuggies Boot Pursuit. Now, the Nuggies Boot Pursuit is back for a limited time at Macca's.

Nuggies. It's the Nuggies boot pursuit with cosy winter boots designed to look like Macca's iconic Chicken McNuggets to be one. You can enter in store online or through the Macca's app and you could win your very own pair of Nuggies. It ends 5pm the 6th of August 2024. For full terms and conditions visit mcdonalds.com.au

and your toes were kept toasty this morning. Very toasty. In fact, very, very warm. Yes, I've got a photo of myself there. Thank you, Shane. That's lovely. But what I did like was the fact that the nuggies came in like the sauce sachet, a little bit bigger.

but the same sort of packaging that the sweet and sour sauce comes in. And thank you very much to McDonald's. That's very nice of them to give us. Thank you, Maccas. And you too can be a big chance of winning one. All you need to do is enter in store online or through the MyMaccas app, and you could win your very own pair of Nuggies, they're called. So virtually a pair of Ugg boots that look like some chicken nuggets. It's fantastic. They're great.

Can you not purchase them or 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. Stuff everybody else. What are you with me on that one? You didn't get any, did you, Cal? Mine's in the mail. I thought it was on the way. Stuff everybody else.

Oh, dear, oh, dear. Now, everything's all right between you two. Darryl, you seem a little bit cranky today. What's wrong? Well, I'm disappointed that my boys lost the other night, but I'm moving on from it. I'm worried about gatecrashers coming to Ruby's party tonight. Talk me through it. So have you got security organised? No, no security.

Did I say where it is? I don't want to say where it is. You said where it is. You already told. Well, I don't want people turning up unannounced and uninvited. What are you doing celebrating, Gail? I think I just had a win on the horsey. Well, anyway, but she's 30. She's a beautiful girl. I've been...

Her dad for all her life. It's just, I'm so proud of her. She's a good girl. I can't wait to say happy birthday tonight. No, will you bring a present? Are you doing, do you speak? I probably will, but I won't get there until about 8.30, so it's going to be sort of halfway finished by the time I get there, but I'll still get there. It'll be warming up, big man. Yeah, no, I'll give her a speech. I think she deserves it.

to be recognised for what a beautiful girl she is. I'm going straight from here at 5 o'clock, straight there. Are you really? Yeah, I'm not even getting changed. Are you drinking the free drink from 5.30 onwards? Yes, I can't wait. I'm going to send him pictures while he's calling the game. You know what, it'll be my pleasure to shout you some. He's quite happy because Peggy's not going. Peggy's got another engagement. What is this issue? So Shane Flanagan's great mate, Peggy, ladies and gentlemen. He's not a great mate, he's just a quake.

What's the issue between Peggy and Big Mark? Because Peggy is dirty on me for being successful, and he's not. Hold on, is that right or wrong? Yeah, that's right. Thank you. Now, she's age-bagging, Peggy.

No. He's easy to get. Peggy's got a bad chip on his shoulder. Does he? Do you know who Peggy is? Do you know Peggy's the bloke we met at the Yacht Club that night? Mate, I know who Peggy is. I'm just surprised it took you, what, eight years to work out he's got one leg. We called him Peggy for eight years, and he said, why do you call him Peggy? He's only got half a leg, you idiot. You can't even see it. He's got a little bit flopping down the bottom under his knee. Well, at the Yacht Club one day, me and Ollie, and I'm sitting there at the table, and I've had a look under the table, and he's Peggy with half a leg. I'm like, what?

Oh, my God, Peggy. I didn't realise what they call you, Peggy. That was about six months ago. Oh, it was an absolute shock. Does he get a bit cranky, does he, Peggy? No, no, he just, Darryl, he annoys Darryl. He annoys me a lot. He's like him. Darryl, he's a great fella. No, he's not as good as you. Well, he was a good footballer in his day, you know. Was he? That's what he told me. LAUGHTER

Shane, why don't you take the lead tonight at the party of the teammates of Paul Gallant at his wedding and go and tip drinks down the toilet and send photos to Daryl and just antagonise him while he's doing the pudding. Of the register. Just it ticking up there. It'll be different. Your wedding was spirits, wasn't it? Everything, yes. There were no spirits. You've got to pay for it. I only drink bourbon, bud. Bad luck. You've got to pay for it. You don't have bourbon. You've got to pay for it.

Make sure you bring a present. Are you breaking your drought tonight? You're going to have a drink. If Daryl buys me a drink, I'm going to have a drink. Mate, if you don't come to a 30th and not give her at least 200, you know, in the... He won't turn up then. He won't be getting through the day. Mate, he was reluctant to pay his own daughter 40 bucks for scoring four tries. That was hard, that was hard.

quiz this afternoon, the Saturday footy quiz, thanks to Lowe's Menswear. You've got the $150 Lowe's digital gift card to be won. We'll give you three clues throughout the afternoon in the Who Am I? And once you know who it is, you can give us a ring on 1300 722 873. Here is clue number one. I made my debut for the Broncos in 2018 and I've played 100

115 games for the club. I made my debut for the Broncos in 2018 and I've played 115 games for the club. Two more clues to come, then you can give us a buzz on 1300 722 873. 1300 722 873. We are the continuous call team. Yeah, we're paying tribute to our great mate David Morrow on this afternoon's show. Here's another one of Davey's highlights.

The Continuous Call Team, tackling the big issues. I haven't had a drink before 5pm on any day for over two weeks. Hold on, but before 5pm from what time?

You're talking from 12pm to 5pm? Or 12am, night time? Because you told us you had a little drinky poo this morning. Last night. While you were watching the cricket this morning. What? David? David? Can you confirm that or deny that? No, I'm not going to deny anything. Oh!

I'm not going to deny anything. He's no good on the witness. I was watching... Judge Judy would just eat you up. David, I played her. She won't be eating anything. I played... I played...

I played a little bit of audio from you a couple of years ago. Do you remember saying this, Davy, and do you stand by this statement? I get gout when I don't drink. Do you stand by that? I do. Most assuredly. The first time I ever got gout was in 2001. I'd been off the grog for five weeks. And every time I've ever really had any bad gout, and certainly I haven't had any bad gout for a long time because I'm on an alibi,

Purinol, but the only time I've had gout in the last, I'd say, 19 years, any bad doubt, is when I have not been drinking. So the alcohol with me, and every time...

Everyone who gets gout has a different reason, a slightly different reason for getting it. How long has it been since you've had gout? Oh, a long time. You've been on the drink for a long time. No, no. 19 years. Do you listen to what I said? I take allopurinol for it now. Well, mate, I don't care if you take pillopurinol. What's allopurinol? It is a pill. What do you take that for?

to actually remove the uric acid from me. So, in other words, there's no build-up of uric acid, which is what it is, the little crystals that get into your ligaments and all your bones or whatever it is that gets into it. I think you're permanently crystallised. Oh, you work so well together, Davey and yourself. I need to get some allopurinol. It's funny, I saw Terry Lamb yesterday while he was speaking of gout and he was telling me he's had bad gout in both his ankles. Oh, God.

How bad would that be? You wouldn't be able to walk, would you? No. Well, you can't walk at the best of times. Unbelievable. Good stuff. 131873, the number. And, yeah, we'll continue to play a few of those highlights throughout the afternoon as we cover some footy and have some fun. Now, that game between Souths and West Tigers getting underway shortly will take you around the grounds for Uber Reserve and update the scores. The first game you'll hear with us is Brisbane and Newcastle. We'll break back with more.

Yeah, the South Sydney Rabbitohs make their way onto the park in Gosford. They're up against the West Tigers. Damien Cook on screen at the moment playing his 200th game for the Rabbitohs and he'll be making the move down the highway to St George-Illawara next year to be playing under Coach Flanagan who's alongside us in the interactive studio this afternoon. So we'll update the scores later.

on South Sydney and West Tigers. And no Christian Welch tonight for the Storm. He's been ruled out of the clash with the Roosters with a back complaint. Break for some news. Back with the next hour of the program. Welcome back. Next hour of the Continuous Call team. And you wouldn't believe it. Guess who scores the first try for South Sydney? Davey.

Davey Moali has scored the first try for South Sydney and they lead 4-0 with a kick to come over the West Tigers. Big man, how appropriate. It's amazing, isn't it? I mean, I don't know how many tries he's scored in his career. Well, he's actually scored two tries this year.

But to crash over for the first try scorer, it is appropriate, isn't it? And I noticed there was a horse racing today called Sir Davey who we had back before. I tipped him last night at 50 to 1. I don't know if the race has been running one yet. We just rang out Flemington then, I think. It was a big price, wasn't it? 50 to 1, yeah. Anyway, but, mate, he's still getting remembered here. Davey Mawali crashes over for the South Sydney side. First try was pretty soft.

Here's our man Cookie too, Jonathan, trying to convert this. Let's see what he does. Moves in, strikes it. He's had a shocker. He's got one job, Cookie. He's had a shocker. It's away to the left. 4-0 in game number 200, South Sydney.

The West Tigers, yes, Damien Cook playing his 200th game for the South Sydney Rabbitohs. Last night, the Raiders beat the Warriors by 20 points to 18. We'll play what Andrew Webster had to say about their goal kicking in just a second. The Warriors, because that cost them in the end, they scored one more try than the Raiders but lost the game. 5.30 this afternoon. I'm on deck with Daryl and Paul to bring you the Knights and the Broncos. And later on tonight, the Storm and the Roosters with Chris Warren. That should be a beauty. First versus third,

on the continuous call term. Look, this is not fair. It's my daughter's birthday, and Flanagan's waving me goodbye, saying he's going to have a few scoogies. On the back of you. It doesn't open until 8.30, the party. No, it's 5.30. But the joint opens, it's open now, isn't it? Probably. It's open now. J.D.'s can not. Stop mentioning where it is. Is that where it is? We've got security for any...

Into Lopez. Mate, with all the free plugs this afternoon, they should be throwing a few freebies in for you. If I know Ruby, she'll be there now. She had to get there at five o'clock. She had to take the cake and set up everything. She does love it. She blasts it. Likes a party? She loves a party. You know who else likes a party? Beverly.

Well, Bev will be at her best tonight. I mean, you won't see any on my back and all that stuff tonight. She'll be in amongst it. There's a cocktail lounge there, apparently. Well, there is a cocktail lounge there, so she'll be knocking the top off a few espresso martinis. Will there be a moment tonight, Darrell, where you and Bev will have a little slow dance or, you know, hold hands or anything? No? Well, certainly, maybe at the party, but it won't be happening at home. LAUGHTER

Oh, dear, oh, dear. I'm available, but she's anti-West. You're not available. I'm available. You're available when you get home. Miracles can happen. 4-0 the score, Sydney leading the West Tigers. Eight and a half minutes gone in the second half. Just on the first half, I should say. Last night in that game between the Raiders and the Warriors, geez, the goal kicking hurt the Warriors, and he was filthy on himself, Chanel Harris-Tavita. This is what the coach, Andrew Webster, had to say. Yeah, I mean...

I think we'd love to be 100% on our goal kicking every week, but that's not going to... There's plenty of other things to put it down to, not goal kicking. I mean, yeah, there's lots of injuries and lots of things going on, but we're not going to... The goal kicking is not the thing that defined us tonight.

We've got to start better. 14-0 is not good enough. We're just chasing the game for the rest of it. Yeah, they were disappointing with the goal-kicking anyway. But they both had their chances, both sides, last night. But anyway, the Canberra Raiders keep their season alive and the return of Jamal Fogarty certainly helped them. Boys, Sir Davey ran about fifth or sixth finish strongly from well back. That was from John Eclevelli and Corky, who's the new race course manager at Ascot over in Perth.

after leaving Randwick. He said, yeah, boys, I've backed it each way. It's $67. Ran on nicely. Thank you, Corky, and good luck with the new gig. Maybe the G-String can get his brother to visit the 30th tonight. She might like that.

No strippers, mate. No one like your brother going in there, mate. He'd be off his head. We don't talk. Don't you talk to him either? Nah, I've spoken to him for years. Is he related to Chad Townsend as well? Me and Chad are fine now. He's good. So do you reckon I played a role in getting you back together, bringing it out in the open? Probably, yeah. When I spoke about the fact that I didn't think it was a great signing, you were like, what's going on here? That's your mates? I'm like, we haven't spoken for a while. So I have played a role. You did play a role. He rang me up.

They actually rang me that day, later that day, but I couldn't, I didn't think I was working. So you brushed him? No, no, no, I texted him straight away. I said, Chetty, give me a buzz any time during the week, mate. And he rang me on Monday or Tuesday, I think it was, and we had a chat for a while, so it's all good. You sure?

Yeah, look, I'm fine. I'm fine. It doesn't sound good to me. You know, it just doesn't sound convincing. I'm telling you right now, I'm fine and he's fine. Okay. We're both fine. You're both fine. Yes. We've got no issues going forward. No issues. I look forward to seeing you. I said to him, mate, I look forward to seeing you again. We'll have a coffee. Your shout. And...

So predictable. So predictable. That's right. No, we're fine. No issue. They're in again here, South Sydney. 8-0 is the score. Cody Walker, I think, scored that try. Yep, correct. 8-0. Damien Cook lining up this conversion attempt. Virtually the same spot he attempted the last one. And he's kicked it. So 10-0. 10-0 for Uber Reserve. South Sydney leading West Tigers. That's after 11 minutes of play in the first half. 1-3-1-8-7-3-0-4-6-0-8-7-3-8-7-3.

Hi, team. Wasn't it thirsty who hated driving south to Wollongong on the M1 Princess motorway, which used to be called the F6 as it had a toll plaza on it just south of Waterfall? Well, not only that, Kenny, he hated going west of Anzac Parade. He didn't like, even though he loved the dragons, I don't think the Illawarra part of it was part of his love. No. He didn't like travelling down there. And I think deep down if you said to him, look, are you happy they've joined with Illawarra, this would be his response. No!

No. He didn't like that at all. Either that or he might even say this big man. What? What? Oh, my God. Yeah. Davo. He was the best. We might have to keep these on my little keys here because we can throw a bit of Davian occasionally from time to time. I think so. And it's a controversial decision. Davy's upstairs. What did you think of that decision from Ashley Cline, Davy? What?

Good stuff. 131873 is the number to ring. Now, boys, last night, Friday nights, we do a thing called Mozza's Top Five. And I thought I'd just raise what happened last night because Josh decided to do his top five meals. So his top five meals that he likes to sit down and enjoy from time to time. Are these in any order? Well, I'll give it to you in order, and then I'll share with you what Piggy

and myself came up with as well. Okay. In fact, I've only got Josh's and mine. Anyway, this is Josh's top five. So at number five, full rack of pork ribs with chips and corn on a cob. You on board with that? Yeah, I'm happy with that. Okay. Number four, chicken parmi, chips and veggies. Yeah, I'm happy with that. Number three, hot and cold seafood platter.

I'm not a mad seafood person, so I'm out on that one. I'm with him, yeah. Number two, steak and mash, veg with mushroom sauce, cooked medium rare. Yeah, medium, yeah, but I'm there. But this is the one that got people talking. His number one meal of all time...

Is homemade spinach and ricotta cannelloni with garlic bread. Yeah, he's just a suck. He's just making sure that he's looking after the wife. Back in the missus, that's all he's doing. That's taste like poop. I'm with you. I don't want it. What is it? Spinach and ricotta cannelloni. Boring. I think it'd be nice, but I don't think it's number one. Not number one. Not number one. And look, I caused a stir with mine because this was my top five. Number five, chicken wings. I love chicken wings. Number four, four cheese ravioli.

Beautiful. Sorry, what was that? Four cheese. So there's ravioli, but they have the four different cheeses, and it's beautiful. There's cheddar. I get it. Other stuff. Cannelloni. That's the pasta, you goose. Cannelloni's not a cheese, you idiot. Cannebear, sorry. Cannebear, that was one. Number three, a baked dinner. I love a baked dinner. Lamb. Number two, prawn cocktail.

And number one, nachos. I love a nachos. No. Love a nachos. As the last meal you'd ever have nachos. Nachos, 100%. Plenty of sour cream, plenty of guacamole. I like nachos, but it wouldn't finish in my top ten. Not that I've given it any thought. But the reason I'm raising this, my number two suggestion, the prawn cocktail. I was berated by my colleagues last night, Daryl. In fact, they just got stuck into me for half an hour and

But thankfully, our listeners supported me because I love a prawn cocktail. The lettuce, the sauce, beautiful. Mate, you know what? I'm not a man. I don't like prawns if I don't have the sauce. The red sauce? Seafood sauce, whatever it's called. I'll eat a prawn, but...

I prefer it with the sauce. With the sauce, I love them. I'm with you there, big man. I love them with sauce. I'm absolutely with you. I can eat a prawn too, but with the sauce, they're gold. Way better. The prawn cocktail brings back great memories. Mum and Dad used to take you out for Chinese and you used to start with a prawn cocktail. We used to go to St George's Sailing Club and, you know, you used to get a prawn cocktail for entree. The lettuce and full with prawns, a little, you know,

Champagne cup? Yeah, around the outside. But they're too small. No, they're not. They are. It's too small. I don't want small prawns. Yeah, it's small. It's crap. Big ones. Get the big ones in there. But even the big ones, you get one. But see, the boys last night were saying, oh, they wouldn't serve prawn cocktails anywhere anymore. Anyway, Blake rang up from 5Doc RSL and they said, we've still got a prawn cocktail.

And then Piggy didn't believe him. He goes on the website and he goes, I've got the menu here. It's not on here. So if there's a prawn cocktail being served in Sydney or Brisbane, we want to hear from you this afternoon on 131873. And do you agree with me that they're fantastic? Or do you side with Piggy and Josh in saying, how old are you, Levi? What are you, 18 or something? I just like them.

Would you honestly have nachos over a nice, good, big, thick steak? Yes. Really? Yep, I love nachos. Think about yesterday at your joint. Those steaks were pretty good. They were good. You would have nachos over them. Absolutely.

You're off your head. And they have to be my homemade nachos. Beautiful. You can't cook. Excuse me? You can't cook. I make the best nachos of the time. Oh, please. What do you do with the mince? How do you cook that? So I cook the mince and I get the little taco seasoning, put that in with some beans and everything and some onions. Cool to put all that in as Lockie Galvin goes in to score a try. 10-4, big buddy. Paul, if he can't cook, someone's doing a good job for him. 10-4. Shane, I'm not the chef. I just own the place you're called.

He's had a go at you. Mate, I didn't see that try from Galvin. Did you see it? I love him. I think he's a good player. I think he's got a lot. He's just got great instincts.

Look at him. Went straight through. The hooker went through. Galvin backed up. There you go. 10-4 kick to come. South Sydney leading West Tigers. That's after 17 minutes of play in the first half. So I want you to write down your top five meals, gentlemen, to weigh in on Josh Morris' top five. You've heard Jay Mos's. Full rack of pork ribs, chicken parmi, hot and cold seafood platter.

Steak and mash, veg and mushy short sauce. And spinach and ricotta cannelloni with garlic bread. He's number one. Number one for me for nachos. And we're looking for prawn cocktails out there in Listenerland. 131873 the number. You can email us via the website. You can text us as well. 0460 873 873. Mark or Joe at Oatlands says, Mark, sausages, mash and peas with butter.

and homemade pizza. You can't beat that. Billy's telling me Sussex Inlet Bolo's got a prawn cocktail. Thank you very much for that. Jump on the line and let us know. What do you think, Flano? What's your top five? Oh, I've just pushed out his cannelloni or whatever it was up the top there. I've gone the steak and mash is one, seafood platter two. You've got to have palmy in there somewhere. Rack of ribs is not too bad, but I've just thrown in combination sardine from local Chinese restaurants.

What's your local Chinese place? Carimba there. Moon Palace? Moon Palace. I love Moon Palace. No, where down the road from that? What's the one down the road? Shangri-La. Shangri-La, okay. Yep. What about you, Big Martin? Well, you've put me under pressure because I do like a lot of food, but some food I don't like. I've got no particular order. Roast lamb, I love a roast lamb. I'm happy with the pork ribs. I love the pork ribs. Chicken parma, you've got to have that because I'd have that every second night if I could. Steak, eggs, chips and gravy.

I'm old school, and I can't think of anything else. But there'd be something with chips in it. Okay, can you pay attention and just come up with something, please, rather than sit here and watch the races and the football? Just come up with four of them. When we go away. What's a top five? Come on, Paul. Top five, okay. I just love bacon and eggs, pretty simple bacon. Sydney's speaking to myself. Come on. Pretty simple bacon and eggs. Yeah, fire up. You're the one who got it wrong, not me. Okay. Bacon and eggs, chicken snitty, a seafood platter, spaghetti bolognese, love spaghetti bolognese, and I can't be just a good old-fashioned steak. Okay, okay.

Fettuccine boscaiola. Get that up, you. Boring. Boring? Why is that boring? Boring. Well, it's my top five, not yours. Well, you're boring. That's what's the problem. Levy, I'll tell you something. Daryl's not. What? We've been away on a couple of holidays, family holidays, as kids of the same age. Yeah. We'd be sitting at breakfast and Daryl would have his last mouthful, put his spoon down or his knife and fork down.

What's for lunch? No, stop it. He would do it all the time. He would have his last mouthful of breakfast and go, what's for lunch? That's because we had breakfast late. Well, he didn't. What time? Eleven? Go straight into lunch? No, as soon as he finishes his lunch, what's for dinner?

What about Mick at McGraw's Hill? Hey, gal. Of course, leave it in cook. Look at the size of him. It doesn't mean anything. I just like to eat, you goose. Thank you very much. The traditional meat pie, sausage rolls, hot chips and spaghetti bolognese, barbecue meat lovers, pizza and garlic bread from Tommy. Thanks, Tommy. Lee's at Camden. Hello, Lee. Hey, hello. How are you? Good, thank you. The prawn cocktails, the good old-fashioned way-back prawn cocktails. You can get them at Camden RSL. What are they charging at Camden RSL, Lee?

Beg your pardon? What are they charging for a prawn cocktail these days? Oh, it's cheap as chips, like, you know, and it's such good food. I don't know. It's less than $10. Oh, hell, it's that. That's good value. That's great value. And it's a good old prawn cocktail, you know, with the shredded iceberg lettuce and the prawns and the sauce. Yeah, yeah. How many is there? How many in the serving?

Oh, I don't know. A handful? You know what I think is imperative when you have a prawn cocktail? You get the poop shoot out. No. Yes. No way. It's not imperative. It's not imperative. I do try. Listen, it's a little bit of gristle and sand or whatever. I try. I'm not saying it's imperative. It's poop. You're eating poop. You're eating prawn.

You two need to harden up. Mate, I'm not saying it's imperative. I'm saying I do try. I do try to get them to drive out. I'm going to remove the poop shit out of the prawn. Well, you do, mate. Not rubbish. Not in school. Mate, I'm tired. Are you saying, Pronto, you've got the poop shit in your prawn? No, we'll be removing it carefully because the chefs will be doing that. Good. But in my place at Christmas, when I get my seafood up at Caring Bar near you, I don't remove the poop shit because it's a waste of time and a waste of meat. It's not a waste of time. It's going to save your life.

It's a waste of meat. What meat do you take out, you imbecile? When you pull the poop shit out, it comes a little bit of meat with it as well. It does not. It does. You're an idiot. Mate, you two are soft. Poop shoots up. You're a tough rugby league man. No, I'm not. You're a reserve grade and our first grade coach. You're a tough man for New South Wales. You all need to tough it up. What are you doing? I'm going to remove the poop shit out of the prawn. So, Lee, he peels the prawn. He gets the prawn to his mouth and he goes...

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. You don't even try to get it out. No wonder you can't get a shill every time you're going to kiss him. You smell like poop chute. Your breast sticks smell like poop.

Who's with me, folks? 131873, the number. I reckon most people in Australia would not be soft like you blokes. They'd shuck the prawn in their goblet and go down. Whatever poop-proof breath. You'd rip their head off. You'd rip the tail off. You'd rip the legs off. And in it goes. And rip the poop shirt out. It's not that hard. What did I say?

I don't want to know. I mixed my words up there. Lines are open. About time you blokes fired up. 131873, the number. Fire up. Who removes the poop chute from their prong? Everybody. I don't. You're an idiot. It's not that hard. Mate, I haven't got time to remove a poop chute. I time this, bro. What have you got to do? I time poor. What do you do? Mate, it takes...

Not even a second. I reckon I've got you. Do you peel your own prawns or do you get Annie to do it for you? No, I peel them. She actually doesn't know how to peel them. What about you, Daryl? No, I peel them. Shane? I know blokes who get their missus to peel the prawns for them. Missus can't do it because they've got long fingernails. And it might get some shell under there. Or poop.

or poo. Yeah, they don't want to have anything to do with poop. Listen to you blokes carrying on. Leave me just eat the poo. You blokes are carrying on about the poop shoot. It's a little bit of gristle and sand. If you ever crack onto a sheila and you say to her, look, champion, we're having prawns tonight and if you don't eat the poop shoot, you're out. Give me a kiss. Come and give me a kiss. Get that up you. Poop shoot. That's poop. You're carrying on as if the poop shoot's going to be smeared on my teeth. It's a little bit of sand. Didn't you ever sit in a sand pit as a kid? It's a waste. It's the

It's the poo. Mate, it's a little bit of gristle. No matter how you want to look at it, it is the poo. Levy, Levy. What? Are you trying to tell me prawns eat sand? Yes. They do not. They eat gristle. What do they eat? They eat gristle. What's gristle? Gristle turns into sand, does it? There's sand in it amongst it. So the poop, what's it made up of? It's just poop. Exactly. So it's poo. I don't want to eat poop.

You got him. You got him. You haven't got me at all. Yeah, we do. Five each. There will be people with me saying, Levy, I'm with you. I stand in solidarity. I ate the poop shoot as well because we haven't got time to remove it. All those fiddly little bits of prawn that you've got to get rid of, just eat it. Put it in your gob. It all comes out the same way. 1-3-1-8-7-3. Who's with me? Who's against me? 12-10 the score. West Tigers leading South Sydney. 20 minutes left in the first half for Uber Reserve.

Back around the grounds for River Reserve, 16 left first half, West Tigers 12, South Sydney 10, 12-10 the score, West Tigers leading South Sydney, the game being played in Gosford. We've got a full board of calls here gentlemen, those who are with me and those who are against me, but just have a look here Darrell, I'm getting plenty of support. Oh you are mate, I'm getting, I'm, my phone. 131873 the number, Rod's at Croydon Park, hello Rod.

Good on you, mate. Oh, for sure.

How small are prawns to start with? Who's got five minutes to just go through? And I'll give you another tip. Five minutes. I've even done some times where I've actually had a couple of little legs in me now. So you eat the poop shit and the legs? But I'd rather eat a leg than the poop shit. Actually, I'll do that too. I'll eat a bit of shell.

Can I go one further? No. What about, this is a bit, not a prawn, when you get a hot roast chicken from Coles and Woolies, who eats the little bumpy bit at the end? Oh, the parson's nose. No, I don't eat that. I mean, you obviously would, Dad. You eat poop galore. You

You eat poop on prawns and poop on chickens. Mate, you're a despicable. They clean the chickens. There's no poop there. Well, they don't clean the prawns. It's just the person's name. It's still been passed there a million times. Yes, exactly. I've never eaten that. That's gross. Where do you think eggs come from? Yeah, I bet you eat eggs. Not on the outside, Ben. You know what an egg is, don't you? Thank you. What is it? Prosecution rests. What is it? Google it, you fool. Wesley's at Penrith. Hello, Wesley. It's an egg.

Yeah, mate. Leave me three words. I'm with you. Thank you, buddy. No issues with the poop shoe? No. Christmas time. I haven't got time for that, mate. 100%. Are you single also? Sorry, mate? Are you single also? No, I'm married. I'm going to pull it out with my wife.

Good on you, Wesley. So that's two who agree with me. What about all these ones that don't agree with you? There's heaps. Their chance of going to them. All right, well, let's keep going. My phone has gone bananas. Every single person is saying no, no. Who? Who?

So leave Hoag's for one. Yeah, but Hoag's is a dribbler. Ben's a dribbler. No, he's not. He's telling me about the sea level. You mean to tell me that you're going to reference your mate Hoag's as somebody who doesn't eat the poop chute? Yes. Mate, he's an unmade Ben. He doesn't. No one eats a poop chute. No one normal anyway. Well, hello. We've just heard two people that eat the poop chute. Yeah, they're not normal though. We just discussed that. Leslie's at Silverdale. Hello, Leslie. Hi, guys. How are we going? Good, thank you.

That's good. Yeah, no, definitely with humour. Yeah, got to hug the whole porn. No problem. Thank you for the support, Leslie. You're a wonderful person. You're my sort of chick, Leslie. Thank you. You're a girl. You are unbelievable. I'm okay with the girls doing this stuff. You're okay with poop breath. Are you okay with that? Listen, can you drop off with saying there's poop breath from George? Hang on a second, it's poo.

Mate, it's a prawn. It's the wastage of a prawn. I've been doing some Googling over here. You know what prawns eat, Paul? They eat plant material, decaying organic matter, microorganisms, small shellfish and worms. Did you say decaying? Yes. So it's decaying. It's decaying organic matter. It's the prawn's wastage. No matter how you want to spin it, it's the poo of the prawn.

No matter how you want to turn it, that's exactly what it is. So you're saying prawns eat dead stuff that's lying on the bottom of the ocean? Yes, they're scavengers. Oh, despicable. And where do you think that goes once they've eaten it? Poop shoot. In the poop shoot. It's despicable. 131873 is the number, 2GB.com. Click onto the feedback icon. David's in Brisbane Valley. Hello, David. Hi, guys. How are you? Good, thank you, mate.

Another thing to do too, Lee, is when you pull the head off the prawn, suck the head. Oh, no. Do their eyes pop out as well? No, no, it's the best part. It's where all the flavour is. That's not the best part, mate. No, that's not good.

What's it taste like? You'll need to harden up anyway. I'm with you there. Give it to him, David. Well said, Davo. You are. He's from Brisbane. He's my man, Davo. Yeah, but one second you're with me, one second you're against me. When I realise he's against you, I'm with him. Ben's down in the Shire at Guy Mea. Hello, Ben. Hello, how are you going? Good, mate.

Yeah, I eat the poop shoot. And if the prawn's deep fried, I'll eat the head as well. It's great. Mate, what if you get sort of it stuck, the really pointy bit stuck in the top of your mouth? That'd hurt.

Yeah, that's happened a couple of times, but, you know, just get over it. Yeah, exactly. You are tough. You both are tough. Ben, you've just summed it up beautifully. Paul, Shane, Big Man, get over it. Get over it. It's the poop shoot. There's nothing wrong with it. It's poop. 14-12, now 16-12. Damien Cook converts the try for South Sydney. 16 points to 12. The Bunnies lead the West Tigers. 11 minutes left.

in the first half for Ruber Reserve. 131873 is the number. 2GB.com. Click onto the feedback icon. Tasted a bit of sand. Hasn't taken the shell off. I've seen people who just eat the... I have seen... And I can't remember who it was. Just eat the prawns as they are. Straight out of sentence. With the shell and everything. Don't peel them. Just eat them. Eat them straight away. Head, a whole lot. No thanks. And they are despicable. They're all single.

So with this discussion over the last 10 minutes, you've come to the final point that if you eat the poop shoot and the prawn, you're single. Most people are. And it doesn't weigh a broman if a woman eats it.

Hang on, so are you starting at 50-50? If they're big king prawns, when you pull the poop chute out, it's nearly as big as your finger. Yeah, to be fair. And they're easy to take out. So if it's a big king prawn or tiger prawn or something like that, I take it out. But if they're little prawns, nah.

No, Shane. No, you can't do it. You might as well throw the prawn away. Exactly. I'm with you on the big ones. The big ones, when you grab it and you rip it, it just comes out like a spine. You just rip it straight out. Like a poop. It comes out easy. Like a big poop. So when you go down to sea level, you sit there and you just slowly pull the thing. No, sea level do it for you. That's why it's such a good restaurant. And do you think at sea level they would leave the poop in the prawn? No.

No. Well, you know what they should for adds to the flavour. No way, mate. They're professionals. They know what they're doing. On the seafood platter, they actually don't. They don't on the ones that they come out. You've got to peel yourself. You've got to peel them on yourselves. Oh, yeah, but if you just order. If you order a prawn cocktail. I do order prawn cocktails. Yeah, it'll be done for you. Yeah.

Of course. Thank you very much. All right. 131873, 1612, South Sydney leading West Tigers, tend to play first half for Ruber Reserve. Quick break, back with plenty more. Shane Flanagan, Darrell Broman, Paul Gallen, Mark Levy, the continuous call team. Just before we get to our very...

Next guest. James writes, Mark, great job. Excellent radio voice. I've got a good head for it too, James. Ask the big man, does he eat sausages? What the skin's made of? Intestines. There you are. So you're eating the same thing. But intestines, that's different than eating poop. The poop shoot is the intestines of the prawn, Darrell. That's the point he's making. Well,

It's just the lining. I'm not agreeing with that point. It's the lining of it. You know what I do? Okay. Same thing. I'm going to tell you what I'm going to do in future. Cut the sausages open and eat them. You won't do that. You won't do that. What about let's go to Colin here who sent an SMS. Come on, Levy, read that out. Yeah, you read it. I'm with the big man. It's been scientifically proven by the CSIRO that eating the poop shoot contributes to indigestion and reduces long-term virility.

What's virility mean? Sexual stuff. You're either virile or you ain't. I'm ain't. You're out of action. You may as well eat the poop shoot. No, I don't want to eat the poop shoot. It tastes like poop. 131873 is the number. Now, boys, we've always been big fans and we'll continue to support anything that Roy Simmons does, such as his standing in the game and Royce's big walk.

is coming up very shortly. It all gets underway on the 6th of August as Royce, of course, sets out to raise support and funds for dementia research. And it's a bit different this year. It's taking place in Sydney. It'll start at the Royce at Penrith, make its way to Eales headquarters.

And over the following 10 days, it'll finish at Blue Bet Stadium on the Thursday, the 15th of August, ahead of the match between the Panthers and the Storm. He's a wonderful man, Roy Simmons, a man that you've known extremely well for a long, long time. Darrell, and I thought we'd catch up with a Panthers legend. He's on the line right now. G'day, Royce.

Hi, Mark. Hello, mate. That was great to catch up during the week to talk about Royce's big walk. And I thought, given we've got a whole new audience today, let's get you on and talk about what you're doing. And like I say, mate, a bit different this year. You're going to stick to Sydney and visit a few of the NRL clubs.

Yeah, walk around the NRL clubs, which will be great, you know. Really enjoyed the last couple of years being out in the country, getting around some of the old areas where I played a bit of footy. But it'll be good now to go and play where I played most of my rugby league career and get around and catch up with a lot of my old mates and walk with them and...

Tell a few lies with each other and carry on as usual. Well, you're good at that. By the way, Broman, before you get in, mate, you won't be walking, I wouldn't think. No, of course not. Chafing. I've got serious chafing issues, Royce. Mate, you go from dragons to sharks. It's 10K. Yeah, well, I might be. This is a different day. Let me consider that. That's on the 12th of August. What about if you've got a car in front of you of the bloke with a megaphone saying, yes, left, right, left, right, Royce.

Have you got one of them? Mate, I think there's a .5 somewhere. Why don't you get a little scooter thing and put Royce's support crew on it and just ride along next to him? What did you say, Mark? A little scooter? Levi, did you see me on the scooter on the footy show? Yeah, good point. Sorry about that, champion. And when it kicks off, did you say Tuesday the 6th of August?

That's right. So how long will it take you to walk, for example, from Penrith to Eales headquarters? It'll take about five or six hours, I suppose. Because you walk every day, don't you? Every day. How far do you walk every day? Oh, getting ready right now, I'm walking about 20km a day.

Just to get ready for the 10, I've got 10 days of 30K, you know, so I probably, you know, probably walk six, five or six days a week where I do 20K. No chafing, nothing? No chafing, no. No chafing, nothing. What about sometimes, someone who's just up in the car?

Sometimes there's a thirst. See, you know, the thing I love about Royce, you know, when he's been diagnosed with the dementia and stuff and it's shattering news for everybody, but I'll tell you what, he hasn't let it affect him mentally or physically or drink wisely. No. Because he doesn't mind a scooey on a hot day. He does occasionally come down to the Shire and we do have one...

One little drink a year, don't we, Royce? We do, mate. It's not far away, neither. We'll have to get going again. Yeah, we will. It's a great day, mate. I'll let the boys have a chat to you. Hey, Royce Flano here, mate. If you're a sponsor out there or just a general public, how do we get involved with this big walk? Yeah.

Just go to the roysemmonsfoundation.com.au and get in contact with us there. Mate, we are desperate for sponsors this year. You know, things are very hard out there. It's been hard to pick up a lot of sponsors.

A lot of sponsors. So, but we're still, you know, we're still very confident about doing and wanting to do the walkers. Not only is the money, but it's the awareness, you know, to let people know, you know, it's the biggest killer of women in the world, the second biggest killer of men, you know. Young people are getting it, you know. I think in Australia right now there's something like 29,000

And this is of the younger people, you know, the 20s, the 30s, the 40s, and that sort of thing. The meds are starting to get into the younger people as well. So, you know, we need to get out there and spread the word about just how...

you know, how bad this terrible disease is. But there's a lot of other good causes out there as well, you know, like the Marquise Foundation and so on and so on. It goes on and on. So it's really good everyone's in supporting them. Royce, when we walked in the country the past couple of years, we'd have people pull over the side of the road or farmers come and donate some money. Are people going to be able to pull over the side of the road on this walk? I mean, you're going to be walking down the freeway, aren't you?

No, we'll be on paths, mate. Yeah. You won't be walking down the middle of the road. No, not the middle of the road, but I thought he'd be walking down the side of the M4 or something. I mean, you can't have people just throw $100 notes out. No, we've mapped out paths the whole way, you know, and yeah, sure, we'll let people know every day roughly where we're going and people are welcome to come out and make donations. You know how good it was in... I can't believe, you know, you're walking through the bush somewhere and someone...

you know, they line up and they're waiting for you out at their gates and they come out and they give you 50 bucks and you look behind them and the old house is there and it's nearly fallen down and needs some paint and you think, these people are coming out and giving me 50 and I feel like, you know, so embarrassed to sort of get it because you could see how hard they were doing it themselves but it's just, you know, that's what a good country we live in and especially around our great game of rugby league, how many good people are that

want to jump in and support you and help you out. Yeah, mate, I think that shows you're standing in the game as well, Royce. I've never seen anyone who doesn't like you. I've never heard a bad word said about you. You are one great guy. How about him? Darryl, you've given me a gob full on more than one occasion and told me you didn't like me and wouldn't buy me a beer. Yeah. Well, that's different. What?

Well, you annoy me sometimes. You can be an annoying little bugger. Are you aware of that, Royce? No, I wasn't. How much have you, mate, I don't know if you've said, how much have you raised so far for dementia research? Do you know?

Yeah, it's over $1.5 million. Well, we've paid for four research programs and there's $380,000 each. Well done. So we've paid for four of them. There's four happening now as we talk. So, you know, it's...

As I said, people come out with $50. There's a lot of $50 to make up the $380,000 to just pay for one research program. But as I said, they're all happening because we talk. Dementia, I think I'm doing a lot of this off the top of my head. I think in

In 2050, there's something like 129 million people in the world are going to have dementia, something like that. You need to do something about it and you'll do something good on your own. Yeah, Royce, you're doing a wonderful thing, mate, and you know we always latch onto it.

and support whatever it is you do. And the fact that it's happening in Sydney, I'm sure plenty of people will stop and congratulate you and donate to Royce's big walk for 2024. And it'll all conclude. It starts on Tuesday, the 6th of August, and it wraps up on Thursday, the 15th of August, when you walk into Blue Bet Stadium for that Panther Storm game. And Daryl mentioned you still like a beer and everything. Where are you today, Royce?

I'm at Penrith Leeds Club. I just had to rush out there. I haven't a punt. I've had 55 bets and haven't greeted a judge once. Well, we'll let you get back inside, mate, and always happy to support you. Can I just drop in with one quick little thing? When you go to roycesimmonsfoundation.com.au, there's

There's a raffle on there. There's a beer raffle. $20 for one ticket, three for 50. It's beer for a year. So you get two cartons delivered every year.

Every month to you. That wouldn't be enough for you, I don't think. Well, Darrell, you'd dribble that down your chin. We're talking about the average person here now. Good on you, mate. Well done, bud. And good on Tuohy for getting on board with you. Absolutely. Royce's Big Walk. You can go to the Foundation website and check it out. It all gets underway Tuesday the 6th of August. 22 points to 12. South Sydney leading the West Tigers right on halftime.

22-12 South Sydney leading the West Tigers as the Tigers make a break. Down the eastern touchline. Ball back on the inside to Galvin. Now to Buller. Buller for the line and Buller's going to score. So 22 points to 16. South Sydney leading West Tigers. Kick to come for the Tigers. Right on half time. We'll take a break. Be back with more.

131873 is the number, 2GB.com. Click onto the feedback icon as we continue to pay tribute to our great mate, David Morrow. With your magpies where you show them love. Yeah. Have you done that? Ever since I read the article some years ago, I'm always making sure that I look after them, yeah. What do you do? Well, I don't shoo them away. I make sure that they're accepted. So hold on. You don't shoo them away, but you do nothing else? No.

No, but I walk up to them. I make sure they feel as if they're welcome. Give them a cup of tea and a blanket. I don't give them a cup of tea or a little bit. He walks up to them. I've got a table in my front yard. How do you make them feel welcome? Well, you don't go racing after them and chase them and think like that. You let them just carry on. You don't go up and pat them. Running across your backyard. Get away. No.

I had one that was really solid that used to run across the front table. I called him Dealer.

Dealer Wells? I can see the magpie sitting on Thirsty's shoulder and he starts a story. Next minute he falls asleep. The magpie? The magpie just keels over backwards. I'm gone.

Here's another one you bought me. He said, yes, Maggie. 1945, I was around there. I was out bird hunting. And it wasn't only magpies. He loved ants as well. When's the last time you saw a silkworm? What does a silkworm look like?

It looks like a worm. Makes sense. It's really smooth. Does it slide off the bed? Like Davey. Well, it made the bed. They're amazing, aren't they, animals? They're amazing animals to watch. Do you ever sit there and watch ants? No, I don't. You just...

Me either, Daryl. I don't think anybody does. Hold on, Christine. Davey watches that. Are they in your house or do we go out? Well, outside. Not in the house. Sometimes you might have a cup of coffee and you watch it with them.

Doesn't it ever intrigue you to sit there and watch animals? Not ants. Not ants. Oh, unique, all right, David Morrow.

Now, halftime in Gosford. It's 22 points to 18. South Sydney leading the West Tigers and the National Anthem's taking place at the moment between Australia and Georgia ahead of this test match in the Rugby Union at Allianz Stadium. So we'll update the schools on that one as we take you around the grounds as well. Hey, guys, I've only just tuned in and having my wisdom teeth removed, but have you played that famous night

when Davey ate the damn sandwich that was stale. A very funny night that was from Aaron. I don't think we've got that highlight anywhere, but I think it used to feature in Thirsty Shout when he used to say, you should have tasted the damn sandwich. But the staff at Accor Stadium, Darrell, they used to bring up...

trays and trays of food whenever Dave was there just to make sure the great man was happy. Yeah, well, I think it was there where he might have made that statement about you should have tasted the damn sandwich because it was stale, I think. And from that moment onwards, he did get spoiled with the good stuff. Donuts and fresh baguettes and everything. Mate, in general, we get looked after pretty well wherever we go. Yeah.

But that may have been because of Davo, because he wasn't backward and coming forward when he didn't like something. Especially his security guards on the way into the stadiums as well. What about the old days? And I hate to say it, but in the old days, if we got a park under Stadium Australia, you're getting allocated a number, and you probably get it, Gal, when you're there with Channel 9. You go under and you get allocated a number, say 45, for example. Anyway, I'd go there, and I'd know that...

I'd take a punt that he was 46, so I'd park my car in 46. Wouldn't he blow up when he came upstairs?

and someone parked in my park at the stadium. And there was a grand final day when the band Tour Bus was parked in his spot. He wanted the band kicked out. The grand final at a time that they paid 50 Gs for. Anyway, break back with more. Clue number two in the Saturday quiz. I've also played for New South Wales, Australia and Tonga. New South Wales, Australia and Tonga made my debut for the Broncos in 2018. I've played 115 games for the club. One more clue to come.

then you can give us a buzz on 1300 722 873. Certainly is. Welcome back next hour of the Continuous Call team as we lead into some live rugby league with the Continuous Call team after five. At the moment, we've got the second half underway in Gosford. 22 points to 18. South Sydney leading the West Tigers. And, Darrell, I'll come to you first. It's been a pretty good game of footy. I mean, there's been plenty of points scored in the first half and it's just tipped

for Ted at the moment. Well, the Bunnies have led all the way, but every time they get a bit of a lead, the Tigers hit back. They scored a try right on half-time in the start of the second half with only four points difference. They've got a penalty almost in front here. The Bunnies, which will put them out to a six-point lead if he kicks it, which you think he would. But I think I would have taken the tap there because there'd be so many points scored, didn't it? You'd think they would have scored a try. Anyway, see what happens.

Andrew, can you see if Mulchie can come down here, please? Mulchie, what's happening? My little computer thing's gone a bit haywire here. I've got all these different screens that I don't know what they're supposed to be. There's been a computer outage, remember? Now there's technical issues around the world. Yeah, no, no, no. I think it's just these screens have duplicated or something. There's like 1,300 flights cancelled. That would have been annoying, wouldn't it? Is that worldwide, 1,300?

I think so. I don't know about worldwide, but $1,300. Affected Shane's card. I was trying to, yeah, that hurt. That hurt. That hurt Shane a few dollars. He's going to get two days in a row drinking for free yesterday and today. That's all right. He's my close friend. Just one thing, and I'm going to attempt to play this. I hope it works. Billy Slater had a bit to say about the treatment of Reece Walsh in Origin. This is what the Queensland coach had to say. Yeah, he certainly was getting hit a fair bit without the footy, so...

Yeah, I think given the situation we're in on the scoreboard, having them both out there was our best option. So, yeah. Billy, you just said he was hit a fair bit without the footy. That was an issue in game two as well. Yeah. Do you have an issue with that, the way that was hit during the series? They'll review their own game. I'm sure they'll look at that, see whether... I just said I thought he was hit a little bit off the footy. Yeah.

So that's what I think. I don't know. It's a game of rugby league. It's that state of origin level. I've been out there. I know what it's like. I understand what he's going through. It's just the way it is, isn't it?

Yeah, so that's what Billy Slater had to say after the game the other night. I don't know how you boys feel, but the story the following day or the day after was, oh, well, we need to protect Reece Walsh for the Brisbane Broncos. Mitchell Moses got the same sort of trepidation. It's ridiculous. Like, seriously, like...

It was a fantastic game of footy. They had to be a loser and Queensland lost. That's just the way it is. Look, and I'm with you. The game, playmakers are so protected these days. But you've got a bloke there who is without doubt a superstar of the game. They're going to put

more effort in on trying to stop him because he can change games like that. The flick of a switch, he can change a game. Yeah, I agree with that. So he's going to get extra attention and that happens to anyone who's a half, not a half decent player, an outstanding player. They're going to get plenty of attention and at fullback, he's probably easier to get to in a lot of ways than some of the others.

You know, because you can get him. He might have been getting a few late his shits, but that happens to everybody, mate. Any good player gets that. That's exactly right. They're so protected these days. If you go in too late and hit them without the ball, that is an illegal play these days, and you'll get penalised for it. So I just don't... Look, I understand he's got to stick up for his players and stick up for his team and look for a reason that they lost, but I just think at the end of the day, it was a great game of footy, and there had to be a loser, and it was Queensland. Yeah.

Flano, what do you think? Oh, I just don't... You know, I understand what Billy's saying. Billy played fullback, and when Billy was playing the game, you know, playing against Gale, they would have been... He would have been heavily marked, and I think, you know, with Darrell's trying... The point that Darrell's getting to, the better the player, the more heavily marked they are, and they might cop a few late hits, but, you know, that had nothing to do with the result, and it's a sign of respect, I suppose, for Reece and the quality of player he is, and, you know, when we're coaching and we talk about...

how we need to defend about Reece Walsh, and we need to put him, every time he gets the ball, or even if he passes it, you've got to get to him and make him play early, or put him on the ground. It's just the way the game is, and I understand Billy's disappointed about the loss, but I don't think he's having a real whinge that there was any foul play. Do you think he could, like Walsh looked like he was injured for a lot of that game, he was struggling, do you think he may have,

by not putting Ponga on and giving him a run at fullback? Yeah, I thought at the time that, you know, at 60 minutes in and all of a sudden you put Ponga on, you know obviously what he's going to bring to the team. But I thought he could have made that decision to put him on at fullback, yes. There's a bigger disruption to the team to put him on in the middle. I just thought at 20 minutes to go, you need to win an origin match

you've given your other fullback 60 minutes to get it done. And I wouldn't say he didn't get it done, but it was more what New South Wales were doing. And at that time, maybe Kalen, in hindsight, so easy in hindsight to go, maybe it should have been better for Kalen to go to fullback. I think they missed a middle. They did. I think they missed a big man. That's where I think they really missed. So whether it's...

Ponga or Walsh, whatever you want to talk about, I think they missed a middle. Six months ago, Billy would have had a nightmare when he heard the news that Tino had done his ACL because he's that forward that can dominate and stand up to New South Wales. Yeah, none of that. Him, Flegler, Tom Gilbert was another one like that. They did have a lot of middles out. Yep.

Now, the West Tigers have scored in the corner through Charlie Staines. It was quite some try. Aidan Caesars kicked three from three today. This one from the sideline. Left boot to it. Is it there? No. Waved away. So it's still the South Sydney Rabbitohs in front, but not by much.

Two points, 24-22. South Sydney leading the West Tigers, nine gone in the second half, so still a long, long way to go. 131873, the number, 2GB.com. Click onto the feedback icon or 4BC.com.au.

put my bag on the carousel so I can go through to the scanners and get checked. And just put the bag on, took my jacket off, walked through my phone with my wallet out, go through the scanner where you stand there, hold your hands by your side, went through, got me a bag, go to Brisbane, everything's fine. So from the Sydney end of the Sydney to Brisbane trip, no problem. No problem. Brisbane to Sydney on the way home the next morning.

Okay. I go to the skinner. They said, have you got deodorant in your bag? I said, yeah. They said, you need to take it out. You need to use it. I said, hang on a second. I said, hang on. I said, hang on a second. When I come to Sydney, I didn't have to take it out. They said, no, but up here you do. I said, why? They said, you just do. So I've taken it out. They said, do you have a lid for this? I said, no. They said, well, okay, you can't take it on the plane. I said, hang on. So how come I got from Sydney to Brisbane, they didn't take it out of my bag for starters, but now you're going to take it off me because it doesn't have a lid on it.

Anyway, they said... Why did it have a lid on it? Because it cared of deodorant. I don't know. It didn't have a lid on it. Does it really matter why it didn't have a lid on it? Well, you purchase it with a lid on it. Yeah, but it didn't have a lid. Who cares? Of course it had a lid. You would have bought it with a lid. I would have bought it with a lid. It's a half-used bottle of deodorant that didn't have a lid. Who cares? Where'd the lid go? I left it at home, Darrell. Mate, it's very important. Why? Why do you think they ask you, do you have deodorant?

Well, why have the owner? It's no one's business if I have the owner. But why, if I have the owner, do I have to take it out of my bag from Brisbane to Sydney? But from Sydney to Brisbane, I don't have to take it out of my bag. Why? And how come, because it didn't have a lid, I've now lost it?

How much was it? What's deodorant? $8. Do you think they were Queensland? You think it's Queensland? No, no, no, I don't. I'll tell you why I don't. Because that actually happened to the lady before me. They said, do you have a computer or deodorant in your bag? She said, yes. So she obviously put them in another tray and they went through. But she had a lid on hers. I never had a lid on mine. Imagine how much it would have cost her. Computers are a lot dearer than a bag.

In defence of the security staff. It's explosive. They blow up. You get told when you check in and when you do everything else, if you have deodorant, you can only take a certain amount. It's a can of deodorant, but why from Sydney to Brisbane do you not have to take it out of your bag? But don't say, oh, it's just a can of deodorant. They're the rules, mate.

Better rules. Okay, so what difference... You get told, do you have a can of beer? But what difference does it have a lid or not? Can I take it on the plane or I can't? What's the difference? We don't make the rules. We just enforce them. What about a bottle of water? Sometimes you can't take a bottle of water. No, that's international flights, Darrell. What's the reasoning for that?

I don't know what the reason for that is, but you can't. So you want the rules changed just because you forfeited your $9 bottle of... No, no, no, no. I just want to know why. And I want to know how come from Sydney to Brisbane, I don't have to take my deodorant out of my bag or computer out of your bag. You just put it on the travelator. It goes through. But from Brisbane to Sydney, you've got to take your computers, your deodorant and all your blah, blah, blah stuff out. Why? You know what you should do? I've got an idea for you.

Buy a plastic bottle of Coca-Cola at the airport, drink it, and then spray all the deodorant into the Coca-Cola bottle. What's that going to do? Put the lid on. You're an idiot. And then put it in your bag. What's that do? Nothing. Exactly. So you're an idiot. You know what? That's nearly as good as, Daryl, your idea one year. Daryl had the idea of bottling clouds and selling them. I think it's a good idea. Clouds? There's clouds in the sky. Yeah. I think it's good. Yeah, problems. But it's a very good idea. Let me ask you a question. Because people love clouds. Okay, how are you going to go up there and get it?

How are you going to go there? Fly up in a helicopter. So you're going to pay for a helicopter to take you up to the sky? Yeah, with a massive vacuum cleaner. Just suck it all in. You are an idiot. You are a moron. I'm an ideas man, mate. It's a dumb idea. It's impossible. On your dressing table at home, would you like to just have a little piece of glass bottle that's, let's say, it's two foot long. Like a fish tank? Well, maybe round, because I'm an ideas man, and just have a cloud floating in there for the whole time. It'd be beautiful. It's impossible. It's impossible.

Anything's possible. No, it's not. We put a bloke on the moon, mate. If it's not possible, did we really? Oh, you don't believe me. You're a flat earther. You're a flat earther. By the way, you know, similar story to the airport. I got frisked the other day. Where from? Where at? I asked you. I had 24 hours. I said, give me 24 hours. Marcus, that's the other thing. When you go for the Sydney one, you stand there with your arms out like that. But when you go for the Brisbane ones, you go for the old school...

Metal detectors. So you're saying Brisbane's behind the times. Well, Brisbane are behind. They are, yes. There you go. That's what I'm saying. So this is what you've been trying to say for the last 10 minutes. Why did you just come out and say, you hate Queensland? That is not what I'm trying to say, but that is fact. They are clearly behind what's going on at the Sydney airport. Clearly. They are. Clearly. Well, how are they? Unclearly.

They're good people. I have no problem with the people from Brisbane. Their technology is behind what is going on in Sydney. Well, look, there must be a reason for it. If we have anybody listening who work in the airline industry, can you let us know? 131873, the number. You can email us via the website. You can text us as well, 0460873873. I was cheering on the way back to Sydney. Little spare seat next to me on the way home. Yeah, I did. How good? I had Simon Fordham on the window, spare one, me on the aisle. And you're still off contract?

Yeah. What about the drama on the way to Brisbane, though? Because our flight was delayed by 90 minutes. Oh, yes, it was. And you and Danica were racing off to try and get another flight. In the meantime, okay, we're going to board the plane now. Then they've come sprinting back hoping to get on. And it was... Because I was waiting in... I don't understand this whole new group thing for Qantas to get onto the plane. But...

Was there some drama with your ticket when you scanned it? Because you didn't look very happy. No, what happened was they actually booked us on another flight because we thought this one was going to get cancelled. So they booked us on another flight. They booked us or you booked yourself? No, they did. I wasn't going to pay for it. No one. But anyway, so they booked us on another flight and then the ticket I had was that particular ticket, which wasn't that particular flight. Just explain that to me again. The ticket you had was that particular ticket but didn't have that particular flight. Yeah.

The particular flight I was about to get on wasn't the right ticket. It was the other one they booked me on. So what happened when the flight ended up going, the one you were originally on? The one I was originally on was the one that Marcus was on. That was the one I was supposed to be on. But because we thought it was going to get cancelled, they booked us on another one. Thank you. West Tigers in underneath the post.

26-24 kick to come. We missed that with Gail's ramblings about Andy Griffin. 26-24, West Tigers lead South Sydney. 15 minutes gone in the second half. 26-24 kick to come for the West Tigers. On the way to the break, some more messages from our friends at Uber Reserve. It takes a lot for your team to make it

Mark Levy, Daryl Broman, Shane Flanagan, Paul Gallen, the continuous call team. 131873 is the number. 28-24 West Tigers leading South Sydney. Still 22 minutes left in the second half as we take you around the grounds for Uber Reserve. Boys, unfortunately I'm with Gal. I love when people start off with, unfortunately I'm with Gal. Sydney has 3D scanners. Brisbane has 2D scanners. We're behind in Brisbane.

There you go. Condolences to Christine and the family from Dion in Brisbane. There you go. That's a Queenslander admitting it. Well, there's your answer. It must be true then. Well, it is true. There's a Queenslander admitting it. It's true. There's another thing in Brisbane that I don't really get. You know we're all racing fans. Why did they build two racecourses across the road from one another? Eagle Farm and Dooman, they're right across the road from one another. That seems silly to me.

You're the Queenslander, Darrell. Can you explain that for me? Maybe it's the racing centre of the universe. And they've decided that area there should be just for race courses. Do they race on the same day? No, no, they don't. They never do that? But if you think about Sydney, right, if you're going to round-week races and you live in the eastern suburbs or it's easiest for you to get to, you little beauty. If you live in Sydney's west, you go to Rose Hill, much easier to get to, or Warwick Farm and you've got Canterbury Park.

Whereas in Brisbane, if you go to the races, you go in the same place. You go to Eagle Farm or Doomba. Same, across the road, race course road. That seems very, very silly to me. Yeah, you know what? I don't know when the race courses were sort of developed or whatever, but they've been there since I was a little boy. Who owns them? Because I'll tell you what, one will be developed one day, no doubt. You think so? Yeah, it's in a good spot. New farm, isn't it? Is it a new farm where they are? Yes, that's right.

And it's near the water, not far from the city. Would it be privately owned, one of them? I don't know. I think the government would own them, wouldn't they? Racecourses? No one would privately own a racecourse. Not here anyway. Well said, Gal. I don't usually like you. You.

Hang on a second. That's what he said. No, no, did he say I don't normally like you? Well said, Gal. I don't usually like you. That's a bit harsh. But you are right. It's a farce and nearly described as farcical. You have more qualifications than a person working at the airport. That one from Warwick. Oh, thanks, was I? That's not very nice from you, Gal. Look, and just on Qantas, this new group thing, I don't understand it.

So they board groups one and five first and then group. But some flights, group three gets on first. Some flights, group three gets on last. I don't understand it. It's a lottery, you know. Maybe, you know, they could start gambling on it.

Which group will get on first? You're knickered bed. It's in order of the plane. Surely they go from the back to the front. Isn't that what they do? I don't know. If you are a gold member at Qantas, you can go whenever you want. While we're talking planes, I'll tell you what now annoys me. And I know there are time restrictions and it's very...

Half the time I'm getting off the plane, the cleaners have cleaned about the first 15 rows. I'm with you. They jump on this rush route. The cleaners are on as soon as the plane stops just about. They are. Because I'm back in the economy. Let's say I'm in row 20, right? By the time I get a chance to get out of the plane and get off, the cleaners are on row 10. Yeah, I agree. I'm with you. And they're, dare I say it, in my way. Yep.

We used to play a good game when we were at the Sharks, when we used to go on flights, whose bag would come out first. Everyone would throw $5 in, and whoever's bag would come out first would win the pool. We were always worried about Gal, that he had a connection behind, you know...

the freight area that they'll find in his bag. You thought he was going to clean up. He won more than he lost. It was a bit of a question mark. Well, there was that on that account. Then there was one time we actually went and made him one and was behind there. But he took the stuff out of my bag.

and sent it down to another bag. So when I got to sit wherever we were, in Melbourne or something, there's nothing in my bag. Can I just ask you a question? Oh, hold on. I thought you meant when you got to your hotel, there was nothing in your bag. No, no, no. When you picked it up, wouldn't you realise it was a bit light? No. When I put it through, he took the stuff out of my bag, put it in another bag, and read me when I got there and told me.

Good friends you've got, mate. Because he thought I'd be a little bit... There's a classic video of Craig Bellamy getting on the bus where they put all the rocks in his back. Was that Brandon Smith? Brandon Smith. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I got a bit cranky at one of the flight attendants on the way back to Sydney. What happened? Was it a boy, was it a lady or a man? Well, see, I'm quite tall, right? So my legs push into the seat in front of me. And rather than go in the middle, you... I have the same problem. Mate, you're shrinking. Your legs. You didn't have that problem, Shane. Please.

Your legs are about 90 degrees to your groin. Exactly. So my left leg just goes out a little bit, so it's in the aisle. And if I see the thing coming, I'll put it back in, the trolley coming.

But I don't know what this lady was doing, but she got my elbow and got my funny bone. I went, oh! And she goes, well, you should keep your arms inside the area when we're coming through. I said, well, if you steered it properly, it wouldn't have a problem. I'm actually with you there because I like the eye. Levy's found a blue on a plane. I don't believe you, Winters. If you sit there like this, right? I often sit there like this on the eye. And when they come through, they whack into my shoulder. Bang. They're smashing into your shoulder. Don't you think they should be watching where they walk a little bit more?

Why the planes? Sometimes... Well, just watch where you walk. Just don't bump into me. Can I just say to you this, though? Normally there's one at the back, one at the front, right? And they're pushing it down. So the one at the front has got his back turned towards you. Yeah. So he can't see you. Can't see where they're going. Turn around and look.

Turn around. It's not hard. What if the trolley clips you on the heel and takes some skin off? That hurts. But listen, the bloke's already gone past by the time the trolley gets here. As you said, he's backing up. But just look behind. If you're going to bump into me, excuse me, sir, or just watch where your backside's going. So you're with me? Yeah, I'm with you, 100%. So you blew up at a flight attendant. Well, no, I didn't blow up, but it hurt, and I made a noise, and she had a crack at me for putting my elbow there. How much did it hurt? Mate, have you ever been hit in the funny bone? He's brave. Probably.

Probably. Mate, it hurts. Funny bone is not funny. But the problem was, so I've got the funny bone and then they've got the cup sitting off the side of the cart. Nick got my shoulder and took some skin off my shoulder. I was wounded by the cart on the plane. You did not show us the skin off your shoulder. Mate, I can show you here. Can you see there? No. That's where she got me and it bloody hurts.

No. Why don't you sue them? No, I'm not suing them, but I just said, can you just steer it properly, please? He's got shoulders like a rattlesnake. Oh.

Oh, listen to Supercoach. Well, I've been carrying you this afternoon, Mr. Non-Entertainment. Yeah, you're a non-entertainer. 131873, the number 2GB.com. Click onto the feedback icon. 30 points to 28. South Sydney leading the West Tigers. 17 and a half minutes left in the second half. You know what? Let's open the lines. If you've got something you'd like to whinge about at airports and airlines, go for your life.

I'm all ears this afternoon because... You've got to ante them. Well, I'm not going to ante them. I'm not a good flyer as it is. But when you cop a trolley to your funny bone in your shoulder, it bloody hurts. And rips the skin off. Yes. I've got a problem going on. I needed stitches, Daryl.

I've got a problem with a family member going to airports, my wife. What's happened now? Well, she works in the hospital and, you know, she takes an apple to work and she takes a knife with her to peel the apple. Right.

And every time we go to the airport, she's had a knife in a bag. She's had a pair of scissors in a bag. We get caught and anyway, she's up there, got her hands up, handcuffed and trying to take a knife through. What if headcount? She hasn't been handcuffed. So did they take the knife and the scissors off her?

Yes. I can understand that. I wouldn't complain about that. I'm just trying to get through and keep my head down so people don't see me and all that. And all of a sudden, alarms are going off and they've got her over on the side. Why have you got a knife in your bag and all this sort of stuff? Why did she have handcuffs in her bag? No, she didn't have handcuffs. So she tried to sneak through a knife, scissors and handcuffs. Yes. And they stopped her. What's wrong with our security people? Yes.

Does she have a hand grenade as well? She is hopeless. I'm complaining about losing your candid deodorant. You've lost scissors and a knife. I reckon that's fair enough. She's bad at it. No, she's lost the plot. What's she doing taking scissors and a knife to an airport? Well, she has them in a bag. I've got no idea. The handbag has got that much stuff in there. You could...

You may probably build a house with some of the things she's got in her handbag. This is dangerous territory. This is dangerous territory. What else would she have in her handbag, Shane? No, I'm not going there. She'd have her purse. Have you gone through her handbag recently? A trowel. A trowel? What, she bricklaying on the side? Put the make-up on. She won't be listening. Oh, BS. Someone will tell her, mate. There's spies everywhere. You would have texted her and said, you make sure you listen to me this afternoon. No, no, no.

She'd be getting ready for the party. She'd be blowing up. Is she going to drink too? What does she drink? She doesn't drink, but she's going to be forced to drink tonight. Is Kyle going? She's going to have some soft drink. No, Kyle didn't get invited. I'll take him down. You're not taking him down. Why not? He'll be sucking on some stuff now. You know what he does.

131873, the number. South Sydney, and again, this time through Peter Marmazellas, 34-28. They lead the West Tigers with 15 minutes left in the second half, 34-28. South Sydney leading the West Tigers as we take you around the ground. Just before we get to the break, Gal, geez, it's been cold, real cold. And, Gal, after a big career in footy, I bet you feel those aches and pains on a chilly winter's morning. Yeah, I sure do. But I wake up with my Spinal Ease pillow and my Spinal Ease mattress, and I wake up fantastic every day, ready to take on the world.

I just had a message from Kyle Flanagan, which I'll get to in just a second. He can come if he wants to. It's time to stop bleating. This winter, why not do what thousands of Australians, including the G-string, have done? Make the switch to the premium Spinal Ease pillow. It'll have you sleeping deeper, longer, and more comfortable than ever before. Winters are never a pain with Spinal Ease. Check out the entire range today. Go to SpinalEase.com.au. That's SpinalEase.com.au. Beware of cheap imitations. Nothing feels like the original. Now, Kyle Flanagan, here we go.

message. See, Kylie's listening to you. He might be sucking on some... Kylie? We call him Kylie because that's his name. I know what he'd be doing. K-Y-L-E. Shane Flanagan gets to the airport four hours early. It's embarrassing. Is this true? I like to be early. Four hours? No, not four hours. He's a dribbler.

I get there early. You've got all red. He's right. No, he is right. I do like to get there early. I hate being late for things like that. I'm the same, Shane. Shane doesn't know people at the airport, though, so he goes into the lounges. He doesn't hang around the public. He's in the lounges getting free food, free drink, free coffee. With everything, Shane, if I've got to be somewhere, I hate being late. I hate being late.

It's just, I don't know what it is, but I just hate being late. But hours and hours early at the airport's not good. Oh, yeah, maybe I'll get there. If you've got to be there an hour, I'll probably get there an hour and a half. That's all right. Do you sit with your team or do you just brush them, go and laugh? No, no, I sit with the team. Well, the team's different because, you know, that's controlled by other people. We go on a team bus and all that. Just when I go with family or, you know, going to the airport on my own, whatever, I like to get there early. You're like Wayne Bennett, sit up the back with the boys, be one of the boys. Are you up the front? No, I'm up the front of the bus. Up the front. Yes. Yeah, right. Thanks. Thanks.

Thank you, Kyle. Any more information, please send it through to my mobile. That's beautiful stuff from you. Shane Flanagan getting to the airport four hours early. And for those who missed it last week, little Kylie said this. Kyle, it's Seymour's mate. Congratulations on the win, mate. I thought you were outstanding. How was the old man after the game? Obviously, he would have been happy with the result, but that last 20 minutes, you kind of took the foot off the pedal and the Broncos nearly came back in the end.

Yeah, J-Moz. Yeah, he was pretty disappointed after the game. I guess I probably didn't last too long. He was sinking piss after that. You got the buy next week? Oh, Kylie. Well done. 36-28, South Sydney leading the West Tigers. Jeez, Talon De Silva's got some eyebrows on him, hasn't he? Oh, hasn't he? Wow. They've been caterpillars. He gets them manicured for sure. Absolutely. He'd need Jim's mowing to come in and do those ones. Yeah.

Oh, that's not all. Hello, Brazilian. 36-28, South Sydney leading West Tigers. Here comes Eyebrows onto the field, off the field for a head injury assessment. 13 to play, second half, 36-28, Bunnies lead Tigers. Yeah, we've got the news at 5 o'clock coming up in 22 minutes from now, whether you're heading to the footy this weekend or you've got something else planned. When you need to get there on time, make sure you reserve your ride with Uber Reserve and we'll give you a chance to win the $150 prize

Lowe's digital gift card in just a second with clue number three. 36-28 South Sydney leading West Tigers. 12 minutes left in the second half. We do that for Uber Reserve. Paul Gallen, Daryl Broman, Shane Flanagan and Mark Levy, the continuous call team from our Olympic team.

interactive studio road testing it ahead of the Paris games. Now last night we were in here calling the Raiders Warriors game and I must admit it was nice to be in our nice and warm interactive studio because it was very very cold in Canberra but the Raiders they held on for a 20 points to 18 win over the Warriors and Hudson Young he was fantastic he scored a double in the first half and I'm pleased to say he joins us on the line right now. G'day Hudson.

G'day, guys. How are we? Mate, very well. Thanks for joining us on a Saturday afternoon on your weekend off after playing on a Friday night. Nice to snap a full-game losing streak. And for you personally, nice to get a couple of meat pies.

Yeah, it was, mate. Obviously, it's been a tough six weeks down here in Canberra, and I think it was our first win since round 13. So it was a massive focus for us going into that game. It was a must win, and yeah, happy to come away with the two points. Yeah, Hudson, you came out of the box really quick, scored two tries in the first 10 minutes on the back of Jamal Fogarty. So it must have been good having him back, particularly the kicking game?

Yeah, 100% Gal. The way that Jamal leads us around the park and you can just tell the last two weeks him jumping in and training and that there was going to be a difference there. He's our leader and having him back out there in his kicking game, you can see just the quality of it, the metres he gets on it and we're able to get into our rhythm off the back of it.

Yeah, Hudson, real strange for most footy fans to see the Raiders not winning home games. And, you know, Ricky always prides himself on, you know, the home and his fans and respecting the jersey. But it was great to turn it around last night. But it's really strange not to win all your home games.

Yeah, it is, mate. We had a massive focus on it. That's what the disappointing part is at the moment for us personally. And as a team, we put a massive focus on winning games here for our fans. And we love our community and we love our fans down here. And Sticky's right behind that with the passion that he shows. So for us not turning the results our way sometimes down here this year, we're making a big emphasis on the back end of this season, making sure that we get that rolling.

I love watching you play because you are a try-scoring machine, Hudson Young. Not that I gamble on football, but you're an any-time try-scoring specialist. You've scored nine this year, which I think is equal first in your side with Xavier Savage, who I think's also scored nine. You're just always a threat on the fringe. You're very, very, very good at it, mate.

Yeah, it's something I pride myself on, mate, is just hanging around the footy and love just going out there and playing footy. And sometimes I make the wrong thing, mate, trying too hard. But that's what I try and do is just hang around the footy and try and always be a threat there. Sorry, I just want to ask you, some of these young blokes who we don't know a great deal about, like I don't know much about Morgan Smith. He's played the whole season with you and he's done very well. He's an Englishman, right?

Yeah, he played over there in the Super League for Wigan for plenty of years and won a few comps over there. So having his experience in that in the team, I think he's only still 22 or 23. So he's still only young and I feel like he's had a great start to his NRL career and he's only going to get better as well. Well, Hudson, I'm going the other way, not the young guys, but some of the older guys. Joey DePine was fantastic last night, but Jordan Rapida, he's like 34 or 35 years of age. He's still flying.

Fine wine old Giorno, isn't he? Yeah, he's going good, mate. He loves it, doesn't he? He loves it. How's he... Like, is he a leader at training or just on the field? What's he like around training? Yeah, he doesn't say too much in terms of leadership stuff, but he leads through his actions and he's a player that you get excited to play with and having him in the team when you run out, you know you're always in better hands and you see how much effort he puts in and how much...

He plays for the jersey and how much he loves the club and his teammates. And he's the same off the field as well. He's such a great bloke. Yeah, Hudson, I talk about your teammates. I had a little bit to do with him last year at Manly KO weeks. He surprised me. I knew he was a super athlete and, you know, and really competitive, but he's had a fantastic year for you.

Yeah, he's been massive, mate. Obviously, come in and did a job for Jamal in the halves and now moved to fullback as well. And I'm pretty sure that in the juniors that he comes through as a fullback. So he's feeling right at home there. And his communication and his ball playing skills are just getting better. And we've all seen how fast he is. And yeah, I feel like he's had a great season. Mate, we've just about mentioned every player in the Raiders side here, but I want to give special mention to Jamal.

Adam Mariota. I mean, he's Harry Highpants. Does he pull his pants up as high as possible in the sheds before a game or something? Because we have labelled him Harry Highpants. Well, that's what we call him in the call. I don't know if his shorts are big enough to get past his big legs. Really? Really.

Well, they are, mate, because he's got them up around his boobies. Glad you said legs. I was a bit worried about that one as well. Good luck to him. I might start that joke on Monday. Mate, when we're calling the games, we call him Harry Eyepants. That's how high they are. So either way, he's fantastic for Canberra. I reckon Ricky Stewart would have been really happy with that performance last night.

off the back of a New South Wales victory on Wednesday night as well. Hudson, keep doing what you're doing, mate. You've snapped the four-game losing streak. You're still in the mix for a top-eight spot as we lead into the finals, and you enjoy your rest of the weekend. Thanks for joining us.

Cheers, guys. Thanks for having me on. Good on you, mate. That's Hudson Young from the Raiders. They beat the Warriors last night by 20 points to 18. Now, back around the grounds, 36-28. South Sydney leading the West Tigers as they come up with a mistake. And the West Tigers have got a player in the sin bin by the looks of things. He's Damien Cook. He makes a break. Lockie Galvin's back there, steps back inside. Damien Cook in game number 200 gets to within two metres of the goal line. So, 36-28. South Sydney leading West Tigers. Eight minutes left.

in the second half. And, boys, just before I get to a break, I've been meaning to say a big thank you to Lorraine. Now, you'll remember last week we were talking about kumquats. Yes. Lorraine has made some kumquat marmalade, and she's brought it into the studio for us in a couple of jars so you can have some of that on your toast or whatever you'd like to have it on. So a big thank you to you, Lorraine. Thank you. For making the trek into Pyrmont and dropping off some marmalade for us. I stuck my finger in it. Yeah, you did. I mean, I don't like you doing that.

The only question I've got over it is the sticker on the label. It's not like a real one. Because she made it at home, mate. Oh, okay.

All right. Well, see, you know what Gal did? He just said it. He stuck his finger in it. It was my little finger. So no one else can have it now. I don't want it. I opened it like this and I just stuck my little finger up to taste it. I wanted to taste it. I must admit, I'm a grub too. I did it as well. We used to can have it and just tell us how it is. I saw Levi do it. That's why I did it. Okay. What's it like? It's actually not too bad. It's pretty good. Not too bad. Beautiful. You don't want it? No, you have it. Okay, I'll take it home.

Well, you're not a kumquat. Well, you apparently use the word wood duck. So why don't you swap it for kumquat? Balls of wood ducks. You blokes are kumquats. They're a lot of wood ducks. Throw a kumquat in somewhere. Actually, there's your challenge for the remainder of the year. In one of your press conferences, get a kumquat in there, will you? I've got to understand what a kumquat is first. It's a fruit. It's a fruit.

Like a fruit loop. It's like a little small orange. When I get cranky, some of my words get mixed together. Oh, they certainly do. I don't want to be come-quoting. Truck gets mixed in quite a lot of times. Shane, some of your press conferences this year have been infamous. Like last time I was in this room, we won a premiership.

Well, it's true. I was just mucking around, having a bit of fun with some fellas. Well, there you go. You can have some fun with a kumquat. I'll try and get it in there. What about when someone says, oh, how do you think Kylie played today? Oh, that little kumquat. You know, like, just something. Just get it in there. By the way, somebody's saying, does Kyle have to pick Daddy up after the party tonight?

That's a good point. Yeah, good point. Is that going to happen? No. Are you going to drive? No, no. Rip in. Oh, you're having a little drinky-purk. Just Uber. No, no, no. I don't have too much. Mark, me and you should come now. Yeah, I think we might. You want to go? Finish 7.30. We'll be there about, what, 8 o'clock? Just before Dale. Yeah, why not? He gets here at 8.30, so we'll be a bit quicker. You know what? We'll get a couple in. I've got to get there early just so people don't make a joke of the free drink.

Can you make sure they've got the rugby league on and not the AFL or whatever it is? By the way, just in the rugby, the Wallabies are leading Georgia 26-10 at half-time. They're going for three in a row, the Wallabies, leading into the rugby championship. So well done to them. 26-10, they lead Georgia at half-time. And with six minutes left in the second half in Gosford, South Sydney 42 now lead the West Tigers 28. So they're home and hose the Bunnies, and they'll be registering another two valuable competition points. We are the Continuous Call team. Break back with more.

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, we do it for Uber Reserve. Halftime in the rugby, 26-10, Wallabies lead Georgia and four minutes left in the second half in Gosford. South Sydney 42, West Tigers 28, 131873 the number. On the way to George Rose from Pointsbet, Mark, just when it comes to the big man, he's revealed today that he doesn't eat the poop shoot and the prawn. He can't cope with a finger in some cumquat marmalade. When he was playing, did he refuse to play when it was muddy?

from Greg. No, I was muddy all the time but I didn't have much choice there. Well, you didn't get dirty. I did, well, why would I? I mean, I was a surgeon. That's why you have nurses. Hey boys, I think you need to give the DJ at Gosford Stadium a shout out. As Aidan Caesar was sin bin for the hip drop, he started playing the song Bad Boys. Gave me a good laugh. Also my favourite David memory was how he was an advocate for everything to do with the bush, whether it was the races, the local league or the

people. What a bloke. Good on you, Rob. Thank you very much for that. And Michael says, Mark, can you now imagine what heaven's like with Thirsty sitting in the members' stand, Shane Warne just taking all 10 wickets in the test, and as Shane walks back into the stand, Thirsty would be telling him, let me show you how my flipper is done. Rest in peace, a true gentleman. He'll be sadly missed. Thank you very much for that, and thank you to all those people that have sent through their tributes this afternoon.

Now it's time for PointsBet's new NRL experience. What are you really gambling with? For free and confidential support, visit gamblinghelponline.org.au. George Rose is on the line from PointsBet. He's on the line right now. Hello, George.

Hey, boys, how are we this summer? Mate, very well, thank you. Watching the South Sydney Rabbitohs go on for a big victory here over the West Tigers. 42-28 is nice for me, given I'm a Rabbitohs supporter. But the game that you'll hear with the continuous call team, Newcastle and Brisbane, there's a whole host of changes. The good news is that Adam Reynolds is back for Brisbane. Rhys Walsh is backing up for the Brisbane Broncos. Caelan Pong is there for the Knights. Bradman Best is there for the Knights.

So some big ins there. Knights $2.50, Outsiders Broncos $1.53. Favourites, who are you tipping in this one? Look, I've gone for the Knights on this one. I like their mods. I think they're nice juicy odds for the Knights. And the Broncos have been ordinary over the last month. They haven't been able to back up from origin well. And I reckon that the Knights are a chance of getting a victory here. All right. What about your same game, Malty George?

Same game, Molly. I've got the Knights head-to-head. I've got Greg Marjou, any time try-scorer, and Phoenix Crossland, any time try-scorer. All right. So Knights head-to-head, Greg Marjou, any time try-scorer, Phoenix Crossland, any time try-scorer. $22.79. Jeez, that is juicy. So Knights head-to-head, Greg Marjou and Phoenix Crossland, any time try-scorers. $22.79 with the team at points bet. George, enjoy the footy, and we'll check in tomorrow.

Cheers, boys. Good on you, buddy. There he is, George Rose. What's gambling really costing you? For free and confidential support, visit gamblinghelponline.org.au. Full-time in Gosford, South Sydney, 42 West Tigers, 28, 42, 28 South Sydney over the West Tigers in Gosford. And, of course, the rugby continuing where the Wallabies are in front.

with the second half about to get underway. Question number three, or clue number three in the quiz, I play in the centres and captain the Broncos last week. I play in the centres and captain the Broncos last week. If you know the answer, 1-300-722-873.

Excuse me, 1-300-722-873. And I'll virtually give it away for you. His first name's Katani. So give us a ring, 1-300-722-873, and you'll win yourself a $150 Lowe's digital gift card. Flano, before you get out of here, 5.30 this afternoon, the game that we'll call the Knights and the Broncos. You thought, well, you just heard George Rose think the Knights might get the cash, but you think the Broncos are good things.

Yeah, I just think the Broncos are, you know, obviously we played them last week and Kevvy, we saw the footage of Kevvy in the dressing room after the game and he wasn't happy. And, you know, I don't know exactly what he said, but I reckon the Broncos... You had a fair idea. You're good at lip reading. Yeah, I'm good at lip reading. But I've got a fair idea that the Broncos will respond. They get their origin players back. And if they can't do it tonight, it could be over for them for the season. So I reckon we'll get a response from the Broncos.

And then later tonight, 7.35, Chris Warren on deck to bring you the Storm and the Roosters. That should be a beauty. Ah, classic. The Roosters, they need to go down there and play well. You know, they've beat some sides, you know, a lot of sides below them, obviously, but they come up against a big Storm side and, you know, these two teams, along with Penrith, I think, will fight the competition out. Great stuff. Good to have you in, Shane. Good luck for the rest of the year with the Dragons and we'll catch up soon. Good. It's been a pleasure.

Well done there is Shane Flanagan and congratulations to Rodney from Oyster Bay who's won the quiz today. Katani Staggs was the answer making his debut for the Broncos played for New South Wales, Australia and Tonga and played in the centres and captained the Broncos last week so Rodney's won the $150 Lowe's digital gift card. They've got over 200 stores nationwide. You can shop online all there at Lowe's.

Well done to Elena from Illawong. She's won the $200, well, the meat tray voucher anyway, the meat tray voucher from Stapleton's Quality Meats down there at Carrilla and Sylvania Southgate. Elena called through about Davey and felt like she grew up with him after listening to him. So, Elena, you've won the meat tray voucher thanks to Stapleton Quality Meats. And if you go onto their website and use the promo code 2GB, you get a

Pretty sizable discount. And if you head into the store, make sure you tell them Levy sent you. And I'm sure the crew will look after you. Of course, headed up by the owner, Mark from Stapleton's Quality Meats. We've got a break for some news. When we return, we launch into some live rugby league.
