The Continuous Call Team – Full Show Sunday 14th July 2024 02:04:13

Now, live, right across Australia, the continuous cold team. Ponga, he puts the pass away, hits him to the hands of Elliot Blyden, away to Keo Woods, he's over halfway, heavily

He's stretching out. KO weeks. Oh, I wish my horses yesterday run like this bloke. He's a speed machine, racing away and scoring a try. With Mark Levy, Daryl Broman, Mark Riddell and Josh Morris. Josh has come in and declared that he's planned a trip for the family. I'm thinking, oh, this is nice. That's nice. Midweek getaway. Midweek getaway. That's lovely. Down the coast. He's taking them to the Blue Mountains in the middle of winter. I said, whereabouts in the Blue Mountains? He said, oh, the Fairmont.

I said, all right. Piggy, what else is happening at the Fairmont this week? That's right, the New South Wales... The South Island team have checked in there. Poor old Mrs Morris. She'll just be sitting there by herself, minding two kids. Where's J-Moz? My golf clubs may or may not follow me up to the Fairmont, so if you're in the area, pop in and say hello. LAUGHTER

Life, sport and laughter right across your weekend. Did you know my old fella was in the Guinness Book of Records? No, no, stop. Did you know? Stop. Stop. Stop. Where's this going? Did you know? No. Then the librarian told me to take it out. LAUGHTER

I want to acknowledge our departing panel operator in the adjoining studio. Oh, Decky Doodah. Decky Doodah. He's going. Declan Hellmore, Decky Doodah, as I call him. Where's he going? He's going to Germany to be with his darling. She moved here, then she went home, and they don't do long distance. He can't do it. Frankfurt. Excuse me? That's what he's going to get sorted. LAUGHTER

The continuous call team, thanks to Maccas, Harvey Norman, Lowe's, Bryden's Lawyers, Ram Trucks, Ducks Hot Water, All.com, Uber, Westpac and 1-800-GOT-JUNK. I was concerned for the possum. It was there one minute and gone the next. I hope they sort of didn't shoo it in. You're just there. I like animals. Who cares? It's a possum. They're everywhere. They're disgusting. You are a disgusting human being. No.

You're an animal hater. You don't have a cat, you don't have a dog. I've got a cat. It's not yours. It's Kevin, the cat. Yeah, you hate it. Sometimes he doesn't even feed it from weeks on end. I'm ringing RSPCA now. Let's go to Levy's place and pick up Kevin. Give him a chance. Let's get Brainy onto it when he gets back. We can bounce him. Current affair. I can see the headline now. Brainy, pussy hunter. LAUGHTER

And now on 2GB Sydney, 4BC Brisbane and network stations across Australia. Live from Four Pines Park, Brookvale, it's time for the Continuous Call team.

Oh, given the events of this morning in the United States, I think we all need a bit of a laugh. So welcome along. Yes, good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the Continuous Call team as we broadcast from Brookvale Oval ahead of the four o'clock game between Manly and Newcastle before we turn our attention to the Origin Decider on Wednesday night in Brisbane. There are plenty of storylines today involving New South Wales and Queensland.

Mark Spud Carroll ripping into the Maroons' forward pack by declaring they're a bunch of powder puffs who wouldn't scare kids in a crèche. While in New South Wales, the headlines point to the Blues hitting their straps with Bradman Best a certain starter in Game 3 at Suncorp Stadium. The Queenslanders, they're eyeing a third straight series victory. New South Wales attempting to win its first decider in Brisbane since 2005. So what do you think, folks?

Who wins and why? The number to call 131873. You can email us via the websites where you click onto the feedback icon and you can text us as well, 0460 873 873. In the two games played last night, the Gold Coast kept its faint finals hopes alive with a 24-16 win over Parramatta.

Jason Riles must be thinking to himself, I've got some work to do at the Eels next year. And St. George Illawarra held off the fast-finishing Broncos to win 30-26 at Suncorp Stadium. Brisbane continuing its slide down the ladder after a sixth straight defeat. And as I briefly mentioned at the top there, given the events in the United States, this assassination attempt on the former US President Donald Trump

If there's any more news this afternoon, you'll hear it here first with the continuous call team. Let's welcome the crew. Daryl Broman, Mark Rudell, Josh Morris is here. And, Big Man, before I introduce you, I think we saw an example today of why...

the people of Australia should be campaigning for you to return to the television screens of Channel 9 because I think you were brilliant on the footy show today on the 8th Immortals award-winning Turn It Up segment. And ladies and gentlemen, for those people who missed it, have a listen to this brilliance from the big man.

You know, I'm loath to wrap myself. I was a prodigy. I was a good player. Anyway, got picked in first grade. North's who I was playing for. Had a lot of injuries. Got picked in first grade. I was so excited. The only problem I had was I had to go and start training with these blokes and they didn't know about my history with regards showering. I used to shower them undies for obvious reasons. You're saying you're not packing heat. No, I'm not. I say it in very many ways, but it's not outstanding, right? LAUGHTER

I had to shower in my undies, which was devo about, because I thought, geez, he's a first grader, isn't he? Here I am, 17-year-old, showering in my undies. This is why you, my friend, need to return to the television screens of Australia, and I'm calling on Mike Sneasby, the chief executive of the Nine Entertainment Company, to bring back the big man. Daryl, a very good afternoon to you. This isn't a good start. Your microphone doesn't work. His microphone's not working, boys.

Oh, what's going on here? What have you done? You've broken your microphone already.

Oh, what have you done? How about that? Oh, hey! See, they're already trying to sabotage you because you were brilliant. I did a lot of great stuff on there. That's a true story. I did shower Mondays for years and years and years. You know, it was embarrassing. I mean, I was a 17-year-old boy up against some of the best, you know, and not much doing down below. So I thought, I'll just give shower Mondays. That sort of extended for about 13 years. LAUGHTER

That's one of the reasons I wouldn't change clubs. But they're back doing that these days, aren't they? Yeah, I know. I'm performing my time. There'll be a lot of small ones around today. Anyway, great to be here. Your skin is looking particularly beautiful today. Have you left the make-up on? Yes, I have, and I'm going to leave it on for a few days because it does make me look better. You look good. Look, you have.

Look, I tried not to peg myself while I was in there, but I did have a couple of... What did you think? I thought I looked particularly good. Particularly good. I like you were branded, too. You had your 2GB and Lowe's jumper on, too. Yeah, well, I'm all about looking after the people who pay you. It's good stuff. Lowe's and 2GB, fortunately. So...

Anyway, great to be here at Brookvale. I got here in record time. Didn't have to speed or anything. Actually, it's not a bad run from Channel 9. Can we also talk about his parking spot? Yeah. I think that needs to be brought up as well. Well, we actually got Wayne Cousins, the media manager from Manly on yesterday, just to impress why he's been given VIP treatment. Because the only people that I know in continuous call team recent history who have been allowed to park in the Ken Arthurson Grand Steen car park are the People's Champion Ray Hadley. Mm-hmm.

And David Morrow, two veteran commentators. So, Darrell, now that you're back on television, are you throwing your weight around? Well, no, not really. I think it was – I asked my good friend, Lucas. That's what we call him. Lucas. We call him Lucas. Oh, does he?

I asked my good friend Lucas saying that because I've got to do the Channel 9 stuff, I might get here a bit late. So he organised a park out the back, but I got here in good time. Did they open their arms and welcome you with open arms at Channel 9 earlier on today, David? No, not really. It's hard. It's like a... I don't know what you call it. It's just... It's a small production, isn't it? It's a massive... It's in a big building, and it's not where it used to be, Channel 9, obviously. It's at North Sydney now. But there's... Like, to get...

to a car park was hard enough. You had to get down to level four or five, I think I had to go to. I can't recall. Then you had to get out of your car to press the buzzer. Then when I got out to press the buzzer, as soon as I got to the buzzer, the gate opened. So I sprinted back to the car to get in before it shut again, thinking someone must be coming out, so I'm going to get in. And then I got lost when I got on the first level. I missed the turn off to go downstairs. Anyway...

There was a lovely young lady there who helped me out imaging. She was great. She sort of got in and showed me where I had to go and looked after me. Well, round of applause. Good to have you back on the show, big man. Great work, big man. Good stuff. Did you see it, Piggy? I did. Yeah, it's good stuff. I did. I've seen some clips. You should have picked up some of the stuff off me. I was learning. I had a pen and pad. So have I. This is the first of your 13 years working with us.

Figgy, as I say good afternoon to you, I just briefly mentioned Jason Riles, your great mate. I'm wondering whether you've spoken to him and whether he's thinking to himself, wow, paramedic coach, eh? Big job. I have been speaking to him, speak to him quite regularly. Congratulations to him, by the way. Yeah, congratulations to him, obviously. All three of those guys that were the last three, Josh Hennay and Dean Young, they're

They were all worthy coaches, and it'll only be a matter of time before Josh and Dino have got their own NRL sides in the next couple of years. But, yeah, Rolsey, very happy for him. Look, I think he understands the situation that he's in and the club's in, and obviously he's already, you know, putting the steps in place to...

get that club the way he wants it and where he wants to be but it's obviously an ongoing process over the next few months before he officially takes the reins in November but I don't think it's any secret that he needs to try and get Blaise Talangi under contract for long term and then

And off the back of that, he's got to have a look at the roster and just see where he can make some moves to improve the roster and move on from there. Just a word of warning. You're going down to interview a couple of the old boys. Yes. It's Golden Eagles Day out here, ladies and gentlemen, on the northern beaches of Brookvale. I'm reliably told by the club they've been on the jibber-jews since 10.30 this morning. LAUGHTER

This could be quite the operation. I do have a great reputation for picking the right players, don't I? Oh, yeah. Who were you suggesting you're going to try and get today? Well, I would have loved Chucky Wattmau, but he's not on the list. Well, you need to get Beaver because he's probably the most... Well, Beaver, I actually inquired about Beaver because I actually... Beg your pardon?

about Beaver Menzies, but Beaver's actually away playing Australian touch football. Or AusTag or something. Over 50s. Yeah, in the over whatever it is. Wouldn't he carve them up in the over 50s? I imagine. He still wears the headgear. So he's not going to be here today. He still wears the headgear. It's non-contact. Just to keep his brains in. J-Moss. J-Moss. Hang on. I haven't introduced you officially yet. Because, ladies and gentlemen, it's a big opportunity for our great mate here, Josh Morris.

after he was relentlessly backstabbed by Neil Breen, a proven media performer, to work on Sundays. Breeny, who we'll be checking with a little bit later on today from the United Kingdom, will be reporting in on what he's been up to. But, Josh, as we say good afternoon to you, you need to shine today. You need to prove to management why you've been a great addition to this team. Well, I'm already signed for two years. How's he going to do that? I've got one word for you. In two days, speak. LAUGHTER

Yeah, just produce something that would be nice. Well, I may have a little expose up my sleeve coming on later this afternoon. I've been speaking to Brini. You know what an expose is? He's been giving me tips, yeah. What is it?

an expose okay i don't know either so it'll be a good expose but i'm looking forward to uh the fun and the football today i i think today's going to be a close game obviously with the origin stars out um i think i'm purely picking merely because of a home game that's the only reason i'm picking them because they're at home they've won six of their last seven at home but

I think it'll be close and I think you'll see that talent missing today in Cherry Evans and the likes of Caelan Ponga as well. And they've got their leadership out of the side. Trubojevic is out too. Tommy's there at fullback and he's named captain today, I'm pretty sure. So he'll lead from the front. And I think they're

They're probably better off in their outside backs mainly as well. They've probably got the experience there. The young Newcastle outside backs, a few of them haven't played too many games. So I see that's where they could potentially get the edge because I think their forward packs are pretty evenly matched today. That's, I think...

That is probably one of the other reasons. I think Ola Kuwatu's got a problem. I mean, you saw Jadon Sewell last night. He was great. He obviously was snubbed, and he came out, and he was one of the Dragons' best players. I think by halftime, he'd run for 100 metres, and he'd put on a couple of shots, and he

big reason why they won last night. So I'm expecting the same from Oluwatu as well. I'm sure Daryl and Piggy would agree. Mark Gasney was fantastic last Sunday. Oh, no. Well, he injected himself into the call occasionally. You know, he could have had a couple of hours off. Will you be doing the same thing, Josh, injecting yourself into the call occasionally? Oh, if you need me to.

If you need me, I'm there, mate. I'm a team member. I would actually prefer you hang around. Yeah? Yeah. Because the other bloke, he's a threat. He was good. Gaz was really good, so he was quite smart. What are you saying about him? Well, no, he's not a threat. I like him a lot, and I like Gaz as well, but when he starts talking, I mean, people sit up and listen. I don't know.

I don't like it. And the emails come in and the texts come in and we're like, oh. I do not want competition from him. But Gaz is too busy. He can't do it. He's not that busy. Yeah, but I don't think he's competition for you two because you bring entertainment. Gaz is not funny. Are you saying he's competition for this young man? Yeah. He's on a two-year deal. I work on Sundays. That's true.

What do you do Sundays normally? Family time. Oh, yeah. Daughter plays league tag. Congratulations on the pregnancy as well. Oh, thank you, mate. Yeah, we're looking forward to that. Little Christmas baby, little girl on the way. Beautiful. What's the due date? I think it's about a week before or after. Before or after? Yeah. Well, have you got something to tell us? My birthday's in December. Oh, beautiful. That's what I was asking.

It could be the same day. It's a double celebration. We'd all wet the head. On the birthday. 131873, the number. You can email us via the website. You can text us as well, 0460 873 873. Just before we get to a break, I want to play you what Kevin Walters had to say last night because that's probably the

The other big story today, the fact that they've lost six in a row, and I'm sure our 4BC listeners in Brisbane would love the three of you boys' thoughts on the Broncos at the moment. This is what Kevin Walters said. He was obviously disappointed with the performance and believes that they can still play finals. The thing that annoys me, and I don't bother about St George, but I just bother about us. I just know we're so much a better team than what we're doing. You know, I feel sorry...

I don't feel sorry. I'm just disappointed that that's what we throw up. And I'm disappointed, you know, myself as a coach, that that's what's being presented. You know, consistently, that's not good enough. And, you know, that rests on me. So that's why, yeah. That six losses, Kev, now the mathematics is that you need to win six of at least your last seven games to make the eight.

Can you do that with, I mean, you've got players coming back. Do you believe you can do that? Yeah, I believe we can do that. But my belief, it's about these fellas and, you know, things have got to change though for that to happen. Can't keep doing what we're doing because we're no chance of it happening. But if we change our mentality and our habits with our skill level, you'll see there'll be a big shift. But, you know, right now it's been that way for a long time.

Well, let's get a quick comment from the three of you on the Broncos. Darrell, we'll start with you. They've found themselves in a hole, six losses in a row. Can they get themselves out of this hole? I don't think so. They've got no forwards.

I know they're missing the halfback. Adam Reynolds is a fantastic player. They've got a few blokes coming back in, but I thought they got absolutely out-muscled again last night. And they've got little blokes coming in. I think he had three hookers in the squad, and they were trying to throw them in two or three of them playing at the same time. He had Moser, Smoothie and Walters. So they've got a massive problem there. I understand they only had 25th players or something in the whole squad.

So they've got, you know, A, the boys playing origin, and B, you've got injuries everywhere. So based on what I saw last night, they can't make the semis. Yeah, I'm with the big man. I just had a look at their draw. The last couple of games, I think they've got the Dolphins at Suncorp, and then they've got Melbourne. The Storm, yeah. The Storm. So it's going to be extremely tough. They're eight points out of top four position. They're eight points away from that, four points out of the eight.

So I think it's going to be extremely tough. They're going to have to go on some sort of run, and I don't know if they can do it. Here's their next four anyway. I think you mentioned the last two. The next four are winnable games. Yeah, they are. They've got Newcastle, the Bulldogs, the Gold Coast, and North Queensland. Right.

We're going to throw a bit at them because they're all handy sides and they're all battling for a top eight spot as well. The problem with it is as well is that they're going to have to put all this energy and focus now into winning every one of these games just to get to the finals. And usually when you see that situation arise, they gasp by the time they get to that final series. Yeah, I called the game last night and by halftime they were down by a fair bit. But it was off the back of a 6-1 penalty count. They're disciplined and

last night and probably for the past month has been horrendous. But last night, their attack looked pedestrian. Like they looked like they weren't running hard and their edge defense in the first half was horrible. Like some of the tries that the Dragons scored, they just ran straight past them and they were just grabbing at them. I've got to give credit to the Dragons though. I thought their outside backs last night were outstanding. They got their sets off to a great start.

But I really liked Kyle Flanagan's performance last night. He came up with a number of passes that led to tries. Jesse Marshke, he didn't overplay his hand either. His kicking game I thought was outstanding. It was simple, but he was putting them in the corners and they just didn't come up with anything. The Brisbane Broncos, they left it too late. I just think the scoreline flattered them a bit because I thought the Dragons were, were,

well on top and they kind of just cruised to that victory. What I would have liked to have seen, because we spoke about the bench, they had Moses, Smoothie and Carapani on. I would have liked to have seen Carapani come on into the centres and Dean Mariner go to the wing, Corey Oates come off. I just don't, I think

Mariner is a far better winger than he is a centre, and he doesn't get as involved when he's in the centre. So I would have liked to have seen that change come out to try and spark something in attack and get some points. Fair enough too. All right, well, 4BC listeners in Brisbane, your Broncos need to get a wriggle on, otherwise they will miss out on the finals completely. Plenty of feedback coming through. A lot of complimentary messages about your appearance on the footy show, Daryl. So congratulations to you.

Just before we get to a break, though, Davo says, G'day, boys. Big man, be honest. Does the food that sits on the table for the Turn It Up segment get eaten? I've never seen the food moved ever. You must have been tempted to grab some and eat it while on set. I did have a good look at it. There was a stupid, like, fruit salad there, which I wasn't interested in. Ham and cheese croissant. Yeah, they did say that. But, mate, I was...

I didn't want to be gouging myself, like gorging myself. What's the word? On television, like in front of millions of people. So I just, I sort of just fought it off the temptation. I should have just grabbed something before I left. A mouth was watering. Yeah, those little cakes were magnificent. So you've done that show? Yeah, I did it off probably two months ago, I think I did it. How'd you go? You good? Yeah, not too bad. Yeah, no.

I got in trouble off him for not mentioning him. Oh, that's right. Yeah. So, you know, you and I have been on the show long enough. I said I'm calling with Piggy on Friday. Gosh, he's on there going, oh, yeah. And Zowie on Saturday. Myself and Piggy Riddell will be there with a continuous call tomorrow. Okay, just forget the bloke who hosts the bloody show. Were you on with Brett? Were you on together? No, no, no, just me. Not the package deal. It was like being on with Brett. He doesn't say much. Well, listen to him.

How is Brett going? Roosters? Flying? No, they're going all right. They're second last. Well, they're a developing side. Has he got the full support of the board? He does. Oh, he's gone. He's gone, the BMOZ. Anyway, we'll take a break. Come back with more from Brookvale.

I didn't realise I could stick with my industry super fund when I retired. Thankfully, I discovered if I stayed, I could set up a regular income, take money out when I wanted, and the rest can grow over time. Stick with your industry super fund in retirement.

Great to have you with us. Continuous call team. Mark Levy, Daryl Broman, Mark Piggy-Riddell and Josh Morris with you on this Sunday from Brookvale Oval. 131873 the number. Just a bit more out of the United States off the back of the assassination attempt on Donald Trump. This one from Abby D. Phillip on social media. CNN's John Miller is reporting that the FBI has identified the suspect.

His name is not being released as yet, but sources say the suspect is a 20-year-old man from Pennsylvania. So like I said off the top of the show, we're going to continue having some fun this afternoon. But as we've proven over the years, when news breaks, we'll have it covered for you on the continuous call team. So stick with us throughout the afternoon. In the meantime, let's talk about the Dragons.

and the, well, revival under coach Shane Flanagan. Daryl, you just said during the commercial break that you thought that was the best game from Kyle Flanagan that you've seen in first grade, and I'm pleased to say the St. George Lawora Dragons playmakers on the line. Hello, Kyle. Hey, boys. How's it going? Mate, very well. Congratulations on the win last night. Nice to come away with another two valuable competition points, and you played really well. Congratulations to you.

Yeah, cheers, Levy. Yeah, it was obviously a pretty important game for us going into the bye and we wanted to go up there to Brisbane and, you know, start fast and that first half we definitely did that.

Mate, I said it to the boys. I think it's the best game I've seen you play in first grade. I thought you were just outstanding. I think you took the responsibility with no Ben Hunt there and you took it on and put it on your shoulders and you led that side around. You directed them around the park. You had a bloke playing at halfback who's, you know, pretty inexperienced, but I know he's been around a little while, but he hasn't played a great deal of first grade. I just thought it was a phenomenal performance from you. Well done, mate.

Cheers, big man. I guess when people talk about the Dragons, they always say that the Dragons are sort of a one-man band when Benny Hunt's playing. So I sort of want to try to get away from that and try to find my feet. I'm obviously really enjoying my footy being back underneath the old man and enjoying my footy so far at the Dragons and hopefully push for a final spot.

Yeah, Kyle, it's Jame was, 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 bye next week? Has he got home yet? Has he home yet or what?

Well, we are catching up in about half an hour to go down to the local water and all. So, of course, yes. Hey, Kyle, what about your back five? J-Miles and I were talking about the job that they did last night for you guys, just getting you out of trouble, getting you on the front foot.

Yeah, they did a great job for us. I think, you know, we're not going to shy away. Like, we know that's our strength and we need those guys carrying the ball nice and strong out of the backfield and they get us set started and, you know, our forwards can just run off the back of that and, yeah, they played unreal last night. Good stuff. Kyle, you get married later in the year, so congratulations to you and the bride. I believe that Daryl's coming along. Is he officiating in any way or is he just there to enjoy himself?

I think you can just, you know, enjoy himself, you know, have a few beers. Yep. Sink a bit of piss like you just did. Got to make sure you've got a good spread there for the big man to eat too. Listen, Darrell, once was okay, not the second time. So out of interest, who is emceeing the wedding? Not your old man, surely not. Maxi King from the Bulldogs. Maxi? Maxi King, yes.

I'm glad you didn't say Peggy. I'm out of contact with Peggy, so don't listen to any of his dudes. Can I just share a story about Peggy? So Peggy is one of Shane Flanagan's great mates, and the reason they call him Peggy is he's got one leg. So it was only recently, Daryl, that we were down at the Royal Motor Yacht Club having a beer with Paul Gallen and Peggy and Flano, and you were there and all that sort of thing, and

How long has Paul Gallen known Peggy for? Because he's only just realised that he's got one leg. Why? See, Paul Gallen's not very smart. We all know that. We know that. Like, he didn't know yesterday that avocados were grown on trees. He thought they were like potatoes dug from under the ground. Avocados. So you call a bloke Peggy, you think there's a fair chance he's only got half a leg? Seriously. Anyway. But Peggy, I mean, Peggy's the only bloke who's got half a leg and he wears socks. LAUGHTER

He wears socks when he puts shoes on on his wooden leg. It's just off. What's the issue between you and Peggy? Oh, there's a lot of issues. What's the issue? There's a lot of issues. I think he's a great bloke. No, he's not a great bloke. Why not? He's an imbo. He's not an imbo. What do you think, Colt? Big man, we're rock solid, mate, so I'll jump on your side, eh? So you're about to go and see Peggy and you think he's an imbo? We're solid.

He won't be listening. He'll be listening. He's like Hadley. He's got spine. You know who will be listening? Shane. Afternoon to you, Shane. Shane's shout for lunch. Good on you, Kyle. Played well last night, mate, and congratulations on the Dragons' victory. You're certainly positioning yourselves for a crack at some finals footy. Go well, mate. Cheers, boys. Thank you very much. There he is, Kyle Flanagan, and I'm still waiting for him to reshout me lunch and a couple of coffees because every time I'm at the bakery, oh, Kyle, leave it. You can get lunch here. How about a pronto?

He'll be there now. He'll be there all the time. I might have to put an extra zero on the bill. 131873, 2gb.com, 4bc.com.au. Click onto the feedback icon. We'll take a break. On the way to the break, just some scores coming through. We've had the Harvey Norman New South Wales Women's Premiership Round 2. The Roosters and the Seagulls have played a 14-all draw in Woi Woi. So a 14-all draw in Woi Woi.

in Woi Woi, the Central Coast Roosters and the Manly Seagulls there in the Women's Premiership Round 2. We're off to a break. Back with plenty more. Plenty of feedback coming through, Ben, says, guys, great start to the show. I noticed Josh has piped up after Gaz was so good on the show last week. Never heard him speak so much. PSGal was a punish yesterday. Yeah, Ben, I'd agree with that too. Thank you.

Gal was always a punish. He is a punish. By the way, there's a development in the charity bet between Ray and Gal. I've had them both on the phone this morning. Gal's always trying to get out of the bet. He's tried to get out of the bet. He's made an awful right at an early payout. Yeah. So he's declared, has he, that he's gone? The charity, and he's trying to jip the charity. So he virtually said, Ray gave him an option of a $300 bet.

early payout type thing. And he was a bit more prepared to accept it. So Gale's come back. Can't believe this. I was expecting a no-way G-string, but I now see this as a chink in the armour, blah, blah, blah. How long have I been warning him? Don't antagonise the people's champion. So Ray's come back and said, right, EO, we'll make it $1,000. So I think it now stands at $1,000. So we'll be hearing more about that, no doubt, from the G-string next week. I don't know how often he watches that.

or the whole thing, but he knows everything everyone's tipped. He said to me, he said, oh, he said, Ray Mundo's gone three against me. We've gone three different this weekend. There's only five games. Ray Mundo at the moment, I think, is leading 4-1 or something like that, or 4-2, so he's under pressure. It's like the days of, you know, the late, great Bob Fulton. He'd study the tipping competition...

To within an inch of his life. Ben put his tips in. He didn't put his tips in until Saturday night. But it was just so competitive. I've got to admit, I put my tips in on a Tuesday when I get the email from Luke, and that's the last I think of it. I know. I usually go like a bastard because I don't put too much thought into it. I just get the tips in because I need to.

Boys, just finished listening to yesterday's show in time for today. I absolutely love all you imbos. No wonder you're number one. Thank you for brightening up our weekends and have a great show, boys, from Paul. Well, thank you, Paul. And look, I should acknowledge the ratings, not that we like to talk about them all that much. Be humble, Levy. But it's not about being humble. It's about thanking our listeners because without our listeners, and I must admit from a personal point of view,

to take over hosting the show from someone like Ray Hadley, who's started this show 38 years ago. It's like replacing Wayne Bennett. But what we've tried to do is pay tribute to the history of the show. We've still got Daryl with us, and he'll be with us for a long, long time to come, however long he wants to work on this great show. But we've also brought through the...

the next generation. And I really am delighted and really proud that our listeners continue to enjoy what we deliver each and every Friday, Saturday and Sunday. So on behalf of the team, to all of you, our wonderful listeners across Australia, whether you tune in via 2GB, 4BC, 2CC, our network stations, or even via the app, I just want to say a huge thank you for ticking the little boxes on the ratings book.

to say that you love what the Continuous Call team does every weekend. Are you with me, boys? Well done, boys. Well done. So thank you very much for the kind words. Big Man, you should have your own series, Eating with the Stars, where Big eats with people maybe watching the footy together. This is a great idea for nine. This is a great idea. Who sent that? That's from Rob. Rob. Rob's a big fan, I think. What do you eat? Ribs? I do love ribs. I haven't had them for a little while, though. Mate, you know what? You know when you cook ribs? Yeah.

And sometimes you just maybe overcook them a bit. Just a little bit. They're not fall-off-the-bone style of ribs. They're sort of tough. Yeah. I hate that when you ruin good ribs like that. Pork ribs, how good are they? I'm going to make a controversial statement. Don't tell me you don't like them. He likes lamb ribs. No, no, I think ribs are overrated. No. They're overrated. For what you get and the mess you make, you hardly get any meat. Well,

You don't have to make them. I think they're overrated. If they're good enough, they just fall off. Well, you think so too. Yes! You don't like ribs? No, no. I like ribs. Okay. But I just don't like the... I'd rather have a steak or things like that than ribs because, one, they're really messy and I don't like getting my hands dirty when I'm eating food. I'd rather eat knife and fork. He's an elitist, this bloke.

No, he's not. Mate, this is the bloke who reads. Mate, when you're 10 scooters deep, you don't use cutlery. What's that fish baby say he eats? Caviar. Like he eats caviar, but he won't eat ribs. You are elitist and you are a disgrace to the front rowers. I just, I'm not. Union. Size of one.

I just find them really fiddly. But you're hard to get any meat. But the meat that's on them, they're not worth the effort. Mate. A lot of them. Why don't you buy decent piece of meat instead of buying ones that have got a little bit of meat on them? We buy the ones from Woolworths. They come in the box. They're all prepared and marinated, ready to go. What? I don't know. It's

That's why I asked. Well, you know what? I love ribs too. Let's put it to our listeners because, again, I'll make a controversial statement. I reckon our listeners or people of Australia would much prefer a good, decent steak as opposed to a rack of ribs. I've got some that's been in the freezer, I reckon, for six weeks at our place. I'm desperate to get them out. Well, why don't you? Because I'm...

I'm never hungry when I get home from... Like, I only usually eat them after a night at the footy. I've been, like, eating myself silly at the footy on Saturdays and then when I get home, I'm not hungry. I don't think I had anything for dinner last night. Why don't you set them aside for tomorrow night, Monday night? Because you've got to marinate them and everything too, haven't you? Yeah, you've just got to...

That's why the box runs from Woolies. I'm with you. A lot of effort, not a lot of meat. There's more meat on them than you think. All right, what do you think, folks? 131873, the number you can text is 0460 873873. Are you with Big Man and Josh in saying, yes, bring on the ribs? Or are you like Piggy and I saying, much prefer a decent steak as opposed to ribs? Well, it's a lot of work, but not a lot of reward. Break back with more.

Well, we're talking meat on the continuous call team. And speaking of meat, a big cheerio to Lyndon downstairs who's selling Fritz's wieners again today. They've become the topic of conversation whenever we're here at Brookvale. But he's also delivered us some stubby holders today which simply say my wiener is bigger than yours. It should be. Clever, isn't it? It's not that hard to work that out. Great marketing. Great marketing. I think it is. It's a good idea. I'm trying to give him a rap, Darrell. Great marketing. Great marketing.

But if he's selling wieners, why has he got a stubby holder? Because you have a stubby and a wiener. Shouldn't he have a wiener holder? You can give that to Darling. Because she can hold your wiener. Well, hers might. No, I'm not going to say that. I'm not talking about it.

131873, the number. Boys, I'm taking Marky on the rib debate. He's a restaurateur, you know, from Matt. Well, not yet. We've got to get the bloody thing open. That's the problem. How's that all gone? Probably that's got to be soon. This week or next week, hopefully. 100% steak over ribs any day of the week. You can stick your ribs, Big Martin. Love you, Piggy, from Nick. So you're getting a bit of support here, Piggy. Heath's at Will Warren. Hello, Heath.

Yeah, hey, boys. How's it going? Good, thank you, mate. Ribs or steak? I'll eat both, mate. But if you're going to get ribs, you've got to go to your butcher and ask for the St. Louis-style cut that actually comes with a bit of the belly on top of it instead of just the bones out of the side. Ooh, that sounds all right. You get a belly button on the top. What a bit of belly. Let's say there's a lot of meat on it. What did you call it? A what? St. Louis. St. Louis. St. Louis-style, yeah.

Instead of removing all the belly and selling the belly separately, they leave the bottom half of the belly on the ribs and you get a lot more meat on them. That sounds all right. That does sound good. Thanks, Heath. Appreciate the call, mate. The ribs I've had have always had plenty of meat on them. I haven't had ribs without a lot of meat on them. I just find I've finished the ribs. I'm like, was it that good?

I just don't like if I'm going out for dinner. It's the novelty. And you see those restaurants, and I'm sure they're great, where they have to put the bibs on. I just don't...

I like the fact that I'm going to have to eat my meal with my hands. Well, mate, but you're elitist, as I know. No, no, I don't think so. I think people would be with me here when they go out to dinner. Mate, if you're going to go out and you want ribs, you have to eat them with your hands. How else are you going to eat them? Well, that's what I'm saying, and that's why I don't really prefer them or like them, because I don't want to go out somewhere to dinner and have to eat...

ribs with my hands and get the sauce all over my hands. What about by the end of the night after you've had three bottles of red? Does that make any difference when you have half the bottle of red down the front of your shirt? No. So the front of your shirt full of red dribbling red down your shirt. One bit of barbecue sauce. I don't spill a drop. That's despicable.

Afternoon, boys. Definitely with Big Man and J-Moz on this one. However, any pitmaster will tell you if they dead-set full off the bone, they're overdone. I'm smoking beef ribs today, as a matter of fact, from Butch at Goulburn. Good work. Well, Butch just sounds like a rib eater, doesn't he? Yeah, he does sound like a rib eater. Yeah.

Proper. Butch, anyway with the name Butch, they like ribs. Scotty says, tell you what's better than ribs, braised steak and onions, maybe some mashed potato. Some might say that it's poor people's food, but I love it. Speaking of poor man's grub, steak and kidney, yes, please. I always end up hungry listening to this show.

We do talk about it a bit. Have we got more food coming today, by the way? I hope so. You know what I did last night? No. You know the spuds in the foil on the fire? Yeah. Did that last night. Beautiful. Sour cream and everything. Beautiful. Did you have some of the... A bit of cheese, sour cream. Pulled pork and... Mate, that's delicate. Yeah.

It was so nice. Really? A bit of truffle oil or something? I had Big Willis on the rotating. Good guy, Big Willis. What did you say, Josh? Truffle oil? Well, he's an elitist. Truffle oil? Truffle oil. No, no truffle oil. So what, did Big Willis turn it around? Well, I had him on the timer. LAUGHTER

What about Braybrook? Remember we talked about Mark Braybrook? He used to sit out there with the pig on the spit or something and turn it around himself. What, manually? Yes. You've got to do it for four hours, haven't you? That's what he did. Oh, boy.

Save power. Save power. Stop it. He used to go up to the club. Don't you remember this stuff? He used to go up to the club and he'd ring his missus at home to pick him up, but he didn't. The phone rang for three rings and then he'd hang up. That meant that was for her to go and pick him up at the club. So he didn't have to pay the 10 cents for the phone call. So if it rang four times, what was it? Neither that 15 minutes or something. He had to answer it.

So he outranked three times. And what was his method behind that? So he didn't have to pay for the course. He didn't answer it. Oh, stop it. That's true. Yes. He said that.

Break, Brooke. I can't work out why they got rid of that great show on the weekend. Dennis Break, not Dennis. Mark, you were turning around the thing, turning around the rotisserie. I brought this up before, though, and I'm happy to discuss it again maybe later this afternoon, but you know what really does my head in? No. People that leave PowerPoints on.

Because I'm convinced they use power. Let's bring this up later. Hold on. So if you go to bed at night, right? Power port's got to be turned off. You turn your television off for the power port. No, no, no, no. If there's nothing, that's fine. But if there's nothing in a power port and it's turned on, it does my head in. It doesn't do my head in, but I must admit I do turn it on. You sound like my parents, Sandra and Alan. Well, they might be good people. My mum and dad.

My mum and dad. They've got nothing to do. They're going to hammer me for this. They turn all their PowerPoints off every night before they go to bed. Really? Yeah. So, like, if they use their microwave, they use it, and then they turn the PowerPoint off. What about if they go? I swear to God. You need to stitch them up. Get a mate to put a PowerPoint on the roof. So what do they do with their fridge and freezer? No, no, that'll stay on. But their TVs, everything gets turned off at the point.

Every night. I think I probably used to do that, but I haven't been doing that for 20 years. When my sister was living with me, she'd leave bloody PowerPoints on because she'd plug a hairdryer in or something. I'd go into the bathroom, the PowerPoint's turned on. But that doesn't cost you anything, I don't think.

I'm convinced it does. That doesn't matter. I'm not sure if it does or doesn't. I don't think it does. I'm not a penny pincher, but it just annoys me. You know things annoy you? Yes, yeah, yeah. Well, do you know what annoys me? Speaking about food, we're talking about ribs. What annoys me, the most annoying food, crab.

Oh, a lot of effort. A lot of effort for nothing. I do love it, but I am not prepared to sit there for an hour picking with this little fork thing just for a little bit of crab. What is the best part of a crab, by the way? What's the best bit? Claws. When you get into the claws. Yeah, the big bit of... Just quickly, I've got to go to a break. No, I was going to say, I could sit there all day and eat crab.

With my hands. You don't get anything out of them. You do. The meat is beautiful. Mate, watch Gordon Ramsey and all that pull it all apart and everything. How can anyone do that? Well, as long as you've got your crackers. Oh, please. He's got hot crackers. Anyway, we've got to get to a break. We'll come back with more in just a sec. Plenty of messages coming through. Mark, absolutely with you there. We turn off our PowerPoints. That one's from Emma. Thank you, Emma. It wouldn't, but...

Do we know if you do save money? Well, I think we may have discussed this before or may have asked somebody. It only produces power if something's plugged into the power point. Yeah, so if you do have your TV and things like that and they're turned off, that's still costing you money. But when they're turned off, they're not using a lot of power, if you know what I mean. They're dormant. I think I've explained that. They're on standby. I've got a lot of stuff that's been dormant for a while. You don't plug it in the power point, do you? No.

You know, wanted it a bit. It'd be like watching the medical show. Clear! He's back! I'm back! Bag's not doing mouth-to-mouth. Open up, it's the big man. It's the fried man. 131873, the number, continuous call team as we do it. From Brookvale Oval, ahead of the clash between Manly and Newcastle on Golden Eagles Day.

We've got the latest news coming up in the next 50 seconds. So we'll get the latest on what's happened in the United States with the assassination attempt on Donald Trump. Just on the footy this afternoon, a couple of NRL debutantes, young Jamie Humphreys, who's the son of Stephen Humphreys, 22 years of age.

Clay Manley's jersey-flagged Players' Players Award in 2023. He plays his first NRL game. And Clayton Falalo makes his debut. He's been a revelation for the Blacktown workers' Sea Eagles in New South Wales Cup, and he gets his opportunity in first grade this afternoon. That's the game you'll hear with us, Manley and Newcastle, with the Continuous Call team. It gets underway at 4 o'clock to wrap up Round 19 of the Telstra Premiership. News is next.

Ah yes, great song. Welcome back. Continuous call team on this Sunday afternoon as we do it from Four Pines Park at Brookvale on what's a beautiful day in Sydney. Blue skies and sunshine. Crowd slowly filling up on the famous hill on the eastern side of the field and the Bob Fultons stand at the northern end of the ground and that's exactly where the Golden Eagles will appear once they make their march down from the Leagues Club on what's old boys day here today. And Pinky Riddell will be downstairs in the next hour to catch up with a few of them.

We'll just put a little caveat on that. Hopefully one that hasn't been on the jibber-jeezer's 10.30 this morning. Might have to have that dump button very, very close. We'll see how we go. Of course, that's the game you'll hear with us, Manly and Newcastle. No origin players today for obvious reasons as we head into the decider.

on Wednesday night at Suncorp Stadium, which you'll hear with the continuous call team. And Ray will be in Brisbane with us. Last night, the St. George Illawarra Dragons beat the Broncos by 30 points to 26. And the Gold Coast, too strong for Parramatta, 24 points to 16. Look, just on origin, Cameron Smith was on the Sunday footy show today, the Queensland legend and future immortal by the sounds of things.

And he spoke about how the Maroons could use Kalen Ponga in the decider on Wednesday night. Well, I'm not sure what the plan is for Kalen. You've got to remember, his Dabu game, he played in the middle and was fantastic on Dabu.

Then you think back to his last game in the Maroon jersey was game three of 2022 and he was the best player on the field. So I'm sure Billy will have a plan to get Kalen onto the field. I'm not sure what stage of the game that will be, whether it be first half, whether it be second half. But knowing the way Billy thinks about football, I think the plan will be to get him on the field with that man right there, Reece Walsh, and have that sort of double-pronged attack.

Well, they're two of, Darrell, the most attacking threats in the National Rugby League. They're both superstar players. To have them both on the field, it's certainly going to cause some headaches for the Blues. I think it's a bonus for them. Like, he's a superstar from Ponga, and so is the other bloke, Reece Walsh. I think just on Reece Walsh, I know I'm getting off track here a little bit, I think he's flying under the radar a little bit,

leading into this game because there hasn't been much talk about Reece Walsh. He had a quiet game by his standards, certainly in game two. But I'm thinking he'll be happy that he's not sort of been the focus of everything and maybe Kalen has become the focus of it all. I think he could play anywhere, Kalen Ponga. I mean, you put him lock, second row, you know, and just put him on the edge. I mean, he's going to be a danger wherever he plays. I saw a vision of him when he played last time. I think he was man of the match in that game.

Was it the third game last time? I think they had a win up in Brisbane. He just was fantastic. He just cut through big tackles. He's so strong. He's a massive plus for the Queenslanders. As a former New South Wales player, Josh, I would have thought if you're defending a Queensland side that boasts the origin players that they have, but...

a team that's got Reece Walsh and Caelan Ponga on the field at the same time, defensively, you're going to have to be ready for what's coming your way. Otherwise, you're going to leak some points. Yeah, you're going to have to get your numbers right, and Dylan Edwards will have that job. What it allows them to do is to be able to put two ballplayers on each side of the field effectively. If you put Ponga in the middle but then play him as like a full-back role, you can then team up, and then whichever side doesn't number up properly, you're hitting that side, and you've got either Reece Walsh or Caelan Ponga coming at you. So...

It is a danger sign. I reckon he'll probably inject him into that second half and look to do that when the Blues are a bit fatigued. So, yeah, he's certainly dangerous, but it can also backfire on him as well, having an extra back on the bench. So it's a bold move, but we saw in the first game at work for Billy. Well, if I'm New South Wales, the moment he comes on the field, I'm just spotting him up. If he's in the middle, I am just spotting him up and running every forward at him for one or two sets.

and just hammering him. That's what they've got to do. If he wants to go and play in the middle, they can't let him have it his own way because he's such a talented player with the football. We know how much of a threat he's going to be. I totally agree with what J-Moz said there about their ability to attack the

with both Walsh and Ponga. But if he wants to play in the middle, you've got to let him know that he's going to play in the middle. And those Blues forwards have to be aiming up and getting straight through him. It's going to be a fascinating contest Wednesday night. Suncorp Stadium will have a special edition of Wide World of Sports from 6pm

myself and Peter Basaltas, and then from seven, the pre-game with the continuous call team leading into State of Origin 3 at Suncorp Stadium. Daryl, just before we move on to other things, given we are here at Brookvale this afternoon, I've had a message from Martin at Southport. He says, Levy, can you please replay the big man and Grant Goldman?

over the PA on his 60th birthday. Every time you're at Brookvale Oval, that should always be run. Well, we lost another radio legend yesterday in Ronnie Sparks, Darryl, who you mentioned yesterday, and we lost Grant Goldman a few years ago now, but he was a long-serving ground announcer for the Manly Sea Eagles. He loved his Sea Eagles, and this was the night that Darryl was on the touchline, and there was a little stitch-up between Grant Goldman and Ray Hadley for the big man.

LAUGHTER

He's an unbelievable man. He looks good for 60. Girls have given me pies. Beautiful. Thank you. I hope they're hot. Yeah, he's getting his mic. Uh-oh. Yeah.

Well done. If ever a bloke can't accept criticism, it's him. Look at him. He sat down. He definitely sat down. I was Devo. Jeez, they turned quick. They turned really quick. I was Devo. I was there playing with the punters and the fans and waving and signing autographs and then...

It just all evaporated. So the cheer girls delivered you the pies? Yeah, I think so. They delivered some pies. By the way, as you know, in the good old days, they had the best cheer girls. I'm calling it as I see it. Manly were the best. Are you with me, Pig? You're not going to comment on that.

Excuse me. Do you remember them? When you're a single bloke. They all do a great job. You're allowed to look at them, mate, when you're married anyway. I had a maths tutor when I was at primary school. She was a St George cheer girl. My dad took a lot of interest in the...

education of your son at that point in my life. Really? She was fantastic. You know what? I've forgotten about it. Do we still have cheer girls? Yeah. Not every club. Not every club. Mate, in the white world that we live in, some clubs have decided, oh, no, we can't have cheerleaders. But I've made comment about this on the various weekday programs and I've filled in for the – It's fabric of the game. But it's not just that, Josh.

if a young woman wants to become a dancer and perform, if she wants to be a cheerleader, why should we stop them? And they practice. They practice. I'm not saying as hard as the players, but they practice a lot. Good luck to them. Good on them. Can we move on to something I'd like to raise with the Continuous Call team? Please do. I'm driving an Audi, I think it's called. It's an older model Audi. I'm in between cars at the moment. And this particular car that I'm driving...

from a good mate of mine, Tony Boycheski, when I stop, the whole thing turns off. And then as soon as you sort of tap the accelerator, it turns back on and away you go. So it's that automatic turn-off thing. I know all about that. I'm convinced, I'm convinced...

that you use more petrol with the engine being turned on and off, on and off, on and off on a trip from Sylvania, where I live, to Brookvale, than you do if the engine's running the whole time. Is anyone with me? I'm with you. I would agree with you. I agree. Why do they turn off? I don't know. It's to save the planet, isn't it? Supposedly. But how are we saving the planet? Is that what it's for? I thought we were saving petrol. Oh, I thought it was because of the emissions, isn't it? No, it wasn't. Hmm.

It uses more. I'm with you. My wife's got it in her car, and every time I drive in it, I just end up turning it off the first time it does it. Can we get Chris Bowen on? Does he talk to us on this station? What, the energy minister? Well, he'd probably be in charge of it. You reckon he'd know? Mate, do you really think he's going to come on 2GB? No. No, it shan't be happening. LAUGHTER

I don't want to talk to him. It's annoying more than anything. Oh, it does my head in. That whole on-off, on-off thing, it's absolutely annoying. Is anybody out there in Listenerland with us when it comes to the... Do you drive a car... No, it's not helping the environment. ...that turns on and off? I want to know, one, if we've got any mechanics listening or people in the motor industry, why do they turn on and off? And two, is it actually making any difference? Because I'm convinced... Well, it must make a difference. ...you use more petrol. Because I've filled up this... I've had this car for a week. I've filled it up twice.

Because this stupid little bloody turn-off, turn-on thing's been on all night. But that might not necessarily be that. Are you still getting the freebie one? No.

No. No, no, that's all. Issue, there's an issue. I just want to be able to buy this car. That's all. No, no, well, I'm just driving one at the moment. It's in between cars. Before I buy one. Try it before you buy it. Or if anybody else likes it, give me a car. I'm available. You like the Audi? The Audis are a nice car, yeah. They're from, you know, a jet setter like you. I think an Audi is almost... Oh, the Anastasia. Very nice. It's an older model, so I look like a, you know... Sports car, Audi? No, no.

Audi. I'm not going shopping. I'm driving a car. You're going shopping for a car. You're just not going shopping. Well, you can get everything else there. You might as well get a car. Well, I've sort of been looking at buying a car, a Hyundai Palisade. That's what I've got. What about all the options, though? I've got a two-year-old, and they're a good car. Are they good? Hyundai's are a good car. I've had mine eight years. I've had no trouble with it.

Because with the deal that I had, I got to drive a whole range of different cars, and the Palisade was one that I really enjoyed driving. So I think I'm just going to buy one. Is that for the family? They're handy when you have kids. Seven-seater. Yeah. Drop off. I'm a big bloke. I like a big car. Him and Kevin could do Maino cruising. I'm not sure if you need a seven-seater. Hot laps down the main street. Do you have that many friends? I don't care. I just like driving it. You know what you should do? Offer a park, go to the restaurant, and you can drive people home. Back and forward. Back and forward.

What a great idea. Well, does it fit within the parking lines at Pronto, or have they not been marked yet? We haven't marked them yet. Do you mark the parking lines? Well, we will, yeah.

Really? Would you mind if we took a tape measure? If I came down to measure the size of these said lines? Why? Because I've been... Is there a recommended size? Oh, there would be. This may be the expose. I think there's been word that there may be smaller parking spaces so that they can fit more people in, which is becoming quite a health issue. You know what? This is another issue, Levy, that I think you should address. What? If this is true, what he's saying.

You know what's very, what I hate and is very embarrassing? When you actually park the car and you've got to get out of it, open the door. What about when you bash it against the car next to you and then you realise someone's sitting in the front seat? You don't bash the car next to you, do you? I don't do it on purpose, but occasionally. I always put my fingers in. Yeah, I try to. I don't do that. Protect the door. Some of the door. So you're happy for the door. You're one of those people. You're a scumbag.

My car has got a couple of... Oh, mine's got it all over it. So you put your fingers... I always put my hands in. Looks like I've got hail on the side of my door. I'm always aware of it, but there are occasions when a wind blows up and it just grabs the door. Oh, turn it up, please. Your wind...

No. I'm a winner. So I'm telling you, I don't do this, but I have seen it where people have hit the car. I sometimes, my door caresses them. Geez, hang on. You've gone from banging to caressing. No, I'm saying it's annoying if someone does bang you. But what do you do if you're in a car and someone bangs their door against yours? Because I'm a big person like you.

What I do is I will put my hand on the door. I've never, ever seen you do that. You've never been in a car with me. I've never seen you put your hand. So you open the door and put your hand on it so it doesn't touch the car. Yes, because I'm a fine, upstanding member of society and I don't want to damage the car next to me. I always do that. Well, do you do that too? Yes. Yeah, I always put my hand in between the car. I go back to my previous comment. You're a scumbag. I don't do it. But some of the new cars, I think, have quite a bit of rubber that actually pops up on the outside so that when it presses it,

it lands on that. I don't know how they judge it.

Well, the issue is that cars are so big these days too. Yeah, and the parking spots are smaller. All right, well, they've got smaller over the years. Well, look, we've raised a few issues here. We've got some off our chest there. We started off with engines that turn off and on. Then we've got into whether or not you bang the car next to you when you're opening the door in a car park. I'm not saying I do that. I'm desperately trying not to, but I do my very best. You're backtracking. You do do it. You don't care. I've never done it. Yes, you do. You know what? If someone did it to me,

I would be disappointed, but I wouldn't blow up about it because stuff happens, mate. Would you make them pay for it? At the end of the day, no. How big are they going to... If they dig your door or they chip the paint? I've got ones that look like hail on the side of my door. I wouldn't do it. I wouldn't do anything. I would. All right. You'd make them pay for it. Yes.

100%. You've damaged someone's car. If you've dinged me car and chipped it with paint... Can you claim it on insurance? Well, you wouldn't want to because the... You pay the excess. The excess, yeah. Yeah, exactly. See, that's my point. So you take their details and make them pay it. Oh, you're an idiot, mate. No, you're an idiot because... Why? You know what? It's a piece of metal. No one cares. It's just a car. We'll have more consideration for the people next year. I do have consideration for them, you idiot!

I don't think they're door. I brought it up because it's just a topic. You've got to put your hand between. I've got to put my hand there. You want an expose on Fabrini, why don't we just follow him around? Follow the big. Shopping centres at Cronulla. Who else puts their hand on the car door? The door dinger. The Cronulla door dinger. That's perfect. That's perfect alliteration. Daryl the door dinger. Daryl the door dinger.

He's going around Cronulla, dinging everyone's doors. Tonight on A Current Affair, we expose Daryl the door dinger. He has no shame. You know what? I've got better things to do with my hand than put it between the two cars. Like? No comment.

All right, 131873, the number. We'll get to your calls after a break. So we want to know why the cars turn off and on and whether it actually makes any difference. And two, do you hold the door when you're opening, let's say, in a car park so you don't ding the car next to you because we've exposed Daryl as a door dinger. 131873, the number. A quick break. Back with more.

Jeff says on the text line, hey, guys, a Skoda has a guard that pops out when you open the door and it's made by the same people who make the Audi. That one from Jeff. But it still hits the other car. Who wants to drive a Skoda? Yeah, but it hits the rubber part and absorbs it. Do you like that?

Who drives a Skoda? Good afternoon to Skoda, who spent a bit of money across the network. Well done, Piggy. Piggy's Andy Skoda. I don't even know if they're advertisers. They might be. Hansi says, I live in Cronulla and my car has been severely damaged multiple times when parked in car parks.

In fact, I vaguely remember parking next to the big man, so I'll send you my details if you're happy to pay the invoice for the smash repair. Send the details, Jabba Jaws. There you go. He's getting frenzy. You're getting very protective here. I'm not a door... What do you call us? Darryl the door dinger. I'm not a door dinger. I'm particularly careful when I'm opening the door, but occasionally...

You ding doors. If I go to the logger tapes, Darryl, you started off all gung-ho about opening your door and banging the car next to you. Yes, I go. And now you've gone to a, oh, I don't do it. No, I sound with a lot of power. I'm not a door dinger. Well, we've got Darryl the door dinger, but Rod prefers, hi, boys, what about Big D the door dinger? LAUGHTER

Not a door dinger. There's been a revelation this afternoon. Good afternoon, Mark, Big Mark, Piggy and Josh. Mark, I'm with you. The start stops are pain in the backside. Whenever I jump into the wife's car, it's the first thing to go off. No good for the starter motor or battery. And yes, always hold the door around the edge when opening. As Thirsty would say, have a baller of a call. That one from Scotty. Thank you, Scotty. Diane's at Glenmore Park. Hello, Diane.

Hi, Mark and the boys. I love you guys. You're like my... I'm your biggest fan, seriously. I'm a bit nervous because I haven't spoken to the team before, but congratulations on the ratings. Thank you. Well, Diane, firstly, thank you, but don't be nervous. It's just like talking to friends. Big, deep breath, and we'll turn you into a radio star, OK? Are you a door dinger, Diane? I'm a D, Diane, obviously, big D. So, no, I do hold the door, and I always say to my son, hold the door, make sure you don't hit a car. I think it's...

it's very good to do that. I'm not a door digger. Good. Neither am I. There's two of us. I'm not a door digger. I am not a door digger. You are a door digger. I am particularly careful when I get out of the car. That's why I brought it up. But not in store.

Thank you, Craig. And never ring Casanova Bowen either, please. Don't ring him on a Sunday. You'll kill me. What we want to keep our listeners is not have them turn the radio off. You're right, Diane. Now, Diane, what about the on-off engine thing, the start-stop thing? Do you like it or not?

Look, I'm sorry. I very rarely disagree with you, Mark, but I love it. I just like it. And my husband's got a Raptor. I've got a little Mercedes, and it's like only a little car, and I love it. It's quiet, and I think it saves petrol for sure. And I just want to tell you, sorry, that's what made me ring because I was nervous, and I've wanted to ring to say congratulations this week. Oh, that's very kind.

That's very kind. But I would have said I like idling, and I took off, and from an idle perspective, it doesn't, I don't think, use more petrol. So I don't know about starter motors, but I like it. All right, Diane, thank you for the call. Don't make it the last time we hear from you. You're welcome any time, even when you disagree with me. 113 1873 is the number. Mark Levy, Mark Piggy, Riddell, Josh Morris, and Daryl the Doordinger. Gary, is it Boondall in Brisbane? Hello, Gary.

How are you, boys? Good, thank you, mate. Yeah, I have to agree. It's very annoying, that stop-start thing. Also, it looks... I drive an eight-tonne truck at work. You pull up at the lights and it'll cut out. It does the same thing. And you see people look at you like you've stored the truck, like you can't drive. It would be awkward. Is this Gary? Gary, is there still a drive-in at Boondall?

In Brisbane? Years ago, no? Oh, did it? Too many door dingers. I was a bit of a legend around those parts. Hang on a second. Gary, I might have to thank you and say goodbye for the call here. Now, what? You're a bit of a legend around the drive-in? Talk me through this. Some of my best work there, mate. Have you blokes, you blokes probably too young to go to car drive-ins, wouldn't you be? Have you ever been to a drive-in theatre? No. Never. Have you? No. Have you? How did you hear? So you get to...

Did you tune your radio? We haven't lived, have we? No, they had like a speaker. I think you take them off and you put them on your window. Right. So why were you a legend? Bit of smooching. Well, it was the early days of my life. Did you have a mow then? Probably. Bit of pash rash? Mowed a little bit there, yeah, I'm not sure. Could you, big man, reverse your car so it faced...

Yeah. The movie screen. It's got a light in the back. Well, that's what they had in the old days. Station wagons. Shagging wagons. Shagging wagons. Station wagons. They were just magnificent. I'd never had one of them. I had a VW. What a buggy. I said you get in the front. I was at a distinct disadvantage. You wouldn't have been able to get your arm around, would you? Oh, yeah, I'd get my arm around. But...

Petr Smith. Drive-ins. Drive-ins with a... I don't even know if there's any drive-ins still around in the world. Not many. Is there any in Australia? There used to be one at Bass Hill. Yeah, I thought there was one out west. There used to be one at Blacktown. Yeah. They're the two that I sort of know of. I don't think they're there. I don't know if they're there or not. Well, Boondall, they used to have one there because that was on the north side of Brisbane where I lived around that area. Not close, but close enough. But, mate, the drive-ins were just fantastic. How many dates you go on there? Eh...

It was one dog, one bone, I think. Maybe not. Each night? No. I didn't go every night, no. I reckon I would have gone to the drive-in once every three or four weeks. Really? Was that like a place to hang out?

Is in, you know, like you went there with your mates and the chicks. With chicks, yeah. Because it wasn't, I think in the, like a few years ago when they had them, I think you'd go there and have a beer. I'd never had a beer or anything like that. I just can't picture you driving in your little VW. The other thing I would say to it these days is I couldn't see the comfort in sitting in my car and watching a movie. I'd much prefer to go.

home and watch it in my lounge room or... Elitist. Why? He's got a massage chair in his house. Well, I'm serious. Is it really comfortable sitting in your car watching a movie? No, it was a means to it. You know where it looks comfortable to watch a movie these days? In the gold-class cinema. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Go to the gold-class. But they didn't have them in those days. I'm sorry. It's hard to crack onto a chick in the gold-class movies, you know. Why? Well, I mean, as in...

Kissing and stuff. Why? Because you're far away. You don't do kiss in the movies. No, I'm married. You take your missus and kiss there. No. Did you ever? No. Yes, you would have. See? No, but I'm just saying it's dark in the movies. Yeah. All right? So there's no reason why you couldn't do it.

And I'm sure people do. So you're saying there's people make out at the movies? Yes, of course there is. Of course there would be. They'd sit right up the back. You reckon no one pashes in the movies? Do their best. I don't know. You can get the day beds these days for the... I beg your pardon? You can get the day beds in the Gold Class movies these days. What, you get a day bed for a two-and-a-half-hour movie? Yes.

A daybed. Yes. Have you seen them? What's the movie? There's about three at the front, and I think there might be two rows of daybeds. Then there's recliners, and then there's your normal seats at the back. So the gibberers are up the back. Yeah, but they might be the ones that want to crack on. I hope they're watching the movie. Because they're up the back, and no one's looking up the back, are they? They're all looking forward. What movies are you watching? Debbie Does Dallas? Hey! Daryl! What?

Whoa, what are you doing? You would have watched that at the drive-ins. It's that old. I've never watched it. You're a liar, just like you're a door dinger. Yeah, there we go. Debbie does the door dinger. Debbie did not.

Oh, we're off to a break. Back with more. Welcome back, Continuous Call team. We do it from Brookvale. And, of course, you'll see the game live and free on Nine. You'll hear it with the Continuous Call team. The eighth immortal, Andrew Johns, is a part of the coverage this afternoon. And he's here in the commentary box with us. Hello, Joey.

Good afternoon. Is it afternoon? Yes. Afternoon to you. Can we start off with your award-winning segment on the footy show? Yeah, it's got an aria. The big man. An aria. A Gus Logie. The Logie. We all thought the big man was sensational today. I know. I would have liked to have seen more visual when he's talking about the...

What do you call it? Yeah, your undies. I would have liked to have seen it. That's what I did, mate. I just showered them with Reg Guambees. Just go to the toilets with it. On the knee. Oh, that's another issue. I didn't mention that. I just drop my pants when I go to the toilet. One bedroom unit. That's all I need, to be brutally honest with you. Yeah.

This afternoon, Joey, Knights taking on Manly. No Origin players. Who are you tipping this afternoon? Your Knights? Well, I'm obviously tipping the Knights. I just worry about where our points are going to come from without KP. And Turbo going back to fullback worries me. But...

They're up and about the Knights. They're very confident. So, yeah, let's see. It's a great day for footy, yeah, because it ear-packed at four pints. It's a big game for both these sides, isn't it? Every game's going to be big from here on into the semis, but this is a big game. I mean, the loser of this is going to maybe not struggle, but it's going to be harder for them. Oh, definitely. And I think if Manly wins, they leapfrog...

The Cowboys? Is that right? Dragons. Dragons, it is. Both teams have got to win to get that spot in the top eight. Joey, what about Jamie Humphries makes his debut? Do you know much about him? No, we saw a clip of him on the footy show. I've heard really good things about him, but he's played more dummy half, hasn't he? He's more of a dummy half, but looks a good size, big in the rump. I know what that's like. Is he?

I actually worked with his old man, Stephen, for a number of years. Stephen was the CEO here. I've heard really good things about him. He's a lovely bloke. We saw those clips on the footy show. He looks like he knows what he's doing. It's a big in for Manly as well, having Ola Kowatu come back from Origin. He'll look to have a big game today. He could be the match winner for the Eagles today. Well, he's the go-to man on the right. He's one of those back rowers that never runs decoys. DCE, when he's playing, always hits him because he's that much of a threat.

And you get him one-on-one, no one can tackle him. He's that big. And not only big, he's really athletic and agile. He'd be a nightmare to tackle. Mate, tell us about some of these blokes who are playing for the Knights because we haven't seen a lot of them. Fletcher Sharp, he is sharp. Yeah, he's from Cessnock. Is he? Yeah, he's a fellow two-head from up there. LAUGHTER

I'm probably related. Somewhere. The June pool in Cessnock is quite small. What about this bloke? I'm always a bit reticent about using his name. Thomas Kant. Kant, yeah. Kant, is it? Is it Kant? Yeah. He's from up the valley too. He's from Maitland, I think. Tommy. He might be related to me too. I went to school in Maitland, so, yeah. 20 years ago. He's from Maitland.

No, he's a really good player. He's one of those lightweight forwards. But he gets to top speed really quick. He gets over the ground. Is he starting on the bench? He plays a bit of middle and also back row. I thought I read he was in the centres. He's in the centres. Tommy's in the centres. He's a back rower normally. Dylan Lucas is there as well. Dylan Lucas is in the centres? Yep.

You know you've got great preparation. Gay guy and Bradman are out. Yeah, yeah, I know that. They're marking each other. I can see I've done the preparation.

Well, at least we've helped you here. I was in Newcastle last night, so do the math. Yeah, Dylan Lucas, he started in the centres. They moved him to the back row. He's been a revelation when he's gone to the back row, but he won't let the team down. A bit of a worry, both of those back rowers playing in the centres, but...

I think there'll be plenty of points scored here today. I'm looking at the Newcastle Knights and where their points are going to come from. Maybe through the middle, some offloads. All right, that's live and free on Nine Showers Origin Wednesday night. How are you feeling about the Blues, Joey? Yeah, confident. I think our bench is really powerful and a lot of talk about their bench, how they're going to use Caelan. If they put Caelan in the middle...

It's all well and good, but Cale hasn't played much footy. And then last week at Canberra, he came off and he said he was blowing playing at fullback. So...

If he goes on and makes two or three tackles in a row, he's going to be burning his lungs. I think our edges are really strong. I think our back rowers are really worried. The edge for Queensland. And I think Bradman and Angus Crichton can cause headaches on our left. I'm really confident going in. Great stuff. All right, mate, we'll let you get ready for telly and catch you soon. I'm going to do some research. Who else is playing? Team list. Daily Cherry. Where's Daily? I don't know.

There he is, Andrew Johns, the eighth immortal.

And my mic's off. No, you're on now. I saw Kipis Paul in the sheds. It's huge. I've seen him massive. I'm talking massive. I knew you'd bring that up. Big boy. A bit different to Daryl. In other words, you'd be showering with no undies on. No. Why wouldn't you? Is that right, Pete? Well, you've announced it to the world. What were you expecting?

It's too late. I've been announcing it for 20 years. I'm over it now. I don't care. Oh, over it? You brought it up on national television. Fans love it. By the way, just on the drive-ins, Bailey, who used to produce us, he's off doing real estate. How's he going now, Bailey? He's going really well. He's still got the same girl because he was out there. No, no, I think he's mingling. He's a mad mingler. Yeah, he's a mingler. Let's hope he doesn't visit the box after the game. LAUGHTER

Gets a little loud, old Bailey. The old decibels go up when he's had a few, don't they? Bailey says, just thought I'd let you know, boys, my mate who used to work at the cinemas once told me each cinema is rigged with CCTV cameras with night vision modes, making it for interesting viewing back in the cinema office. So Bailey used to go and sit with his mate. Bailey's a creep. He's a disgusting. He's a voyeur. He's a voyeur. That's where he used to watch it, in the foyer.

There's a voyeur in the foyer. Anyway, 131873, what do you think? We're not taking open line numbers, open line calls on that. Okay. Anyway, we'd better take a break. We'll come back with more. You're listening to The Continuous Call Time.

I didn't realise I could stick with my industry super fund when I retired.

Well, 131873, that number to ring. Gee, there's a stack of messages coming through today. I'm struggling to keep up with the volume of them, boys. Stay humble, Levy. Oh, yeah, stay humble. Yeah, of course.

Dawn writes, Mark and boys, drive-ins. Oh, the memories. Oh, Dawny. As for Piggy saying that sitting up in the car wouldn't be very comfortable, well, there really wasn't too much sitting up done. Oh, Dawny. Back then, to be honest, besides the windows would generally be fogged up. You couldn't see the screen. Dawny. Dawn. Now, Dawn's the one that usually pulls you boys up for being naughty. I might have to pull Dawn up for being a bit naughty this afternoon. Thank you, Dawn.

Alan says Charters Towers still has a drive-in. I had a few people call through. I've lost the text messages here, though, but I think there's – is it Bass Hill? I think there's still one. Bass Hill, yeah. Bass Hill's the one I said. It used to be one. It's still there. Apparently. You know what was right next to the Bass Hill cinemas, Levy? What? My Chinese restaurant for the banks down there. LAUGHTER

I'm not joking. If people are out there and they know where the Basile Cinemas is, they'll know where Basile Chinese Restaurant is. It's right opposite. Kim at Harvey Bay, another great show. I'm an old guy, and when I first took my girlfriend to the drive in my Volkswagen Beetle, I asked her, do you want to get in the back seat? She said, no, I want to stay in the front with you. That went from Kim...

Oh, that's interesting. And Melinda... Oh, this is Min. Mark, could you please pass some thoughts to Thirsty? Give him my love. P.S. This is a photo of me and Thirsty the day I went to JD's to shine his boots before the Melbourne Cup. I love that. That was from Min. So there's Min. Looking forward to seeing you.

Look at Davo there. How good did he look? Beautiful. He loved JDs. He did. So there you are. Thank you very much, men. 131873 is the number, tgb.com. Love seeing the big man stacking that motorbike this morning on Wide World of Sports on the footy show. Well, that hurt you, didn't it? Yeah, it did hurt. I did hurt. I fell off, like, sort of straight onto my ribs. Did you break anything? Well, I think if you break ribs...

I don't know if you can do anything about it. I just sort of toughed it out, so to speak. But I'll never forget it because I didn't mean to go into it, but I just couldn't turn the corner properly. I didn't know where to put a brake or how to stop it. So I just said, I'll just take one for the team. I'm done here. Went up there and the next morning, my mum and dad still alive those days and

I think I rang mum just to tell her that I'd stacked my bike. I didn't think they would have watched it. She said, oh, Daryl. I said, yeah. She said, we watched the footy show last night. I said, yeah, mum, that's what I'm ringing you about. She said, oh, your father and I, we laughed and we laughed. Mum, I think I've broken my ribs. She said, it was so funny though, you know. LAUGHTER

Thanks, Mum. Here's a question to you, Piggy, and to you, Josh, and we'll get our listeners involved as well. Is there a moment in the footy show days that stands out for yours? Because my favourite moment was the chilli eating competition. Yeah, I think that's hard to beat. I love the chilli eating competition. Mm.

And I love the anti-ads, like the, The Vomitron was good as well. It was funny. They showed today on the dark room. Oh, yes. Remember the dark room? That was funny. And when they used to go to the skiing as well.

and take on the jumps. Yeah. Mate, he's a maniac, Matty, you know. He'd just be falling over. He'd look at the camera and go, just stop filming. He was the best. But at the end of the day, I mean, seriously, if it wasn't for him, that show wouldn't have been anywhere near as successful as it was. Mate, he is, and I've said it before, I reckon he's the most natural bloke I've ever seen on television, and he just didn't give a rat's ass, you know.

There was no autocue or anything with him, was there? No, well, they started bringing it in later, you know, last few years of the show, and he hated it. You know, he wouldn't use it. The other thing I remember as a kid growing up was, you know, like Fatty would be sitting there. He'd have all these blue pieces of paper, like the rundown, obviously. But he'd get lost, so Tardy Chalmers would be standing there, and he'd just look off camera.

What are we doing, TC? What are we doing? What are we doing, champion? I remember there's an episode where he dropped all the paper on the ground. He was there bending over, picking them all up. And he's still on camera and he gets up and he looks at which camera. It's so funny. It is so natural. It's interesting too because sometimes, you know, like if I'm on YouTube or whatever and I'm looking up, like getting a court case ready or something to watch and then it comes up with the suggested videos and you're getting stuck in a hole watching the video.

the footy show clips. Mate, there's someone there in the woke world we live in that couldn't do that anymore. But you just think to yourself, it was just good fun and just innocent fun and having a laugh and...

Just realise you can't do that anymore. You can't have a laugh in these days, can you? Anyway. Leaves when the scoreboard blew up on the fat from Corky. Oh, yeah. Matt McCote. Well, there's a question for you, folks. What are some of the great memories from the footy show days? Was there a segment in which that you just sort of love and it stands out? Let us know. 0460 873 873. You can give us a buzz on the open line. I'm not sure. I'm pretty sure you would have been there, Big Man. I'm not sure.

When they sent that pest to Fatty for the day where they did an OB at the footy. I think I saw it the other week. I've seen it a few. Have you seen that one? He just annoyed the crap out of him all day. Originally, he was really nice to him. He said, yeah, g'day, mate. How you doing, bub? Anyway, this bloke just continually pestered him. And Fatty, at the end of the day, said, is this bloke fair dinkum? You know, maybe just walk up here.

It's so funny. I just thought of the other one. There was an old bloke that you interviewed out at a club once, and you invited him in the studio, and there was a big issue at the time, and Fatty said to him, he said, how are you going, mate? He goes, I was all right until that mongrel Greenberg got on here. LAUGHTER

All right, well, take a break. Some of your favourite footy show memories. We'll have a chat about that after the break. Yeah, we'll get you the latest on the Donald Trump assassination attempt in the next seven minutes. And, of course, whether it's a flight, important meeting, a footy game, you name it, Uber Reserve helps you plan ahead when you can't be late. Reserve now, ride later with Uber Reserve. We'd better get that mentioned for the team as well. 131873, the number Margaret on Line 5 has phoned through. Hello, Margaret.

Yes, love. Look, what I can remember, it was a yoga pad and...

Fatty and Sterlo? Fatty and Sterlo. Yes. Yo play pitim yum. It's iron protein. Yo splat pitim yum. Iron calcium. Yeah, that's right, Margaret. That's a cracker. Thank you very much for that. Bruce in Brisbane. Hello, Bruce.

Hey, Lance, how are we? Good, mate. Yeah, mate. Perfect partners with Jimmy Maloney where he told him everyone caught barbecue at a low by his mum. Perfect partners. That's another good one. I think Darling Bev went on perfect partners. Yes, she did. Yes, she did. I remember that one. Ross at Wiseman's Ferry. Hello, Ross. Hello. Remember Mr Meat Day? Mr Meat Day. Mr Meat Day. Oh.

Oh, that was another ripper. Good on you, Ross. Thank you, mate. Let me have a look here at some of the ones coming through. Footy show when they did the village people one. Well, Hadley was in that. Yeah, yeah. That was one where... Reg Reagan, Trent the flight steward. Yeah. Well, that was the one where Ray Warren was one of the village people and he said, God, why did I have to be one of the gay ones? LAUGHTER

Todd's at Rooty Hill. I think it was Fatty Sterlo and Chief Harrigan getting shot with paintballs. Sterlo took it like a champion while the others ran away. That one from Todd. He did. Sterlo just stood up to it, you know, and copied all that. They would have hurt. Oh, yeah. They do. What about when they did the Vomitron? Did we talk about that? Yeah, Vomitron. There's a whole heap of it that have come through. There was somebody mentioning...

They brought the python in and they had the peanut butter and the peanut paste. Steve Irwin. Steve Irwin. That's who it was and Fatty thought it had pooped. What's happening? What's happening? What's happening? He spewed it all up. He could almost spew on command.

Oh, dear, oh, dear. There's some great ones coming through. Yeah, Reg Reagan, the flight steward. The absolute best was when Mario prepared a cup of tea for Jack Newton. Poor Jack held the cup and saucer in his one hand for the next hour. Absolute crack-up for me, and it happened. Well, of course, Jack Newton has the one arm, so...

That was funny. And then wasn't the other one where Mario's gone to play some backyard footy with Kurt and Matt Gittman? Yes, they stitched him up. Kurt rolled his ankle and they had to ring Michael Hagen and Hagen was blown up at Mario. What are you doing, Mario? He's just hurt his ankle. What are you, a doctor, Mario? LAUGHTER

No, no, I'm not, but I'm just saying it's a dangle. Oh, here's one. Remember the jockey, Alan Robinson, Robbo doing street talk? Yeah, Robbo. Jeez, that's a good one too. Jeannie's at Yagoona. Hello, Jeannie. Hi, guys. How are you? Good, thank you.

Mine's watching Fatty and the Newcastle captain trying to eat a chilli. Yes. And Sterlo was in there too, wiping all the snot. Mate, you know the story with that. I think it was the chief who went out the back, because if you eat the chillis, the only way to take a bit of the heat out of it is drinking milk. Well, he's gone out the back into the green room where the boys sort of get changed before the show, and

And he went into the fridge there, and there was some milk there, so he just picked it up and started sculling. He sculled about half a litre of it. Then he had a look at it, and it was like a week and a half out of date. Oh, no. The end of the price was bad. Oh, no. He'd been spilling all night, they reckon. Yuck. We lost Terry Hill earlier this year. Terry Hill and Nads as well. They were dapdo dogs. Dapdo dogs. What about your Barry B?

Mate, you know what? When you sit back and think about it, all the stuff that they did over the years, it was quite brilliant. Great show. We've got to get to a break, boys. We'll come back with more continuous call time. Just some breaking news from the United States. The Telegraph is reporting the gunman who attempted to assassinate former President Donald Trump has been identified as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks.

Crooks, who is from Bethel Park in Pennsylvania, fired at Trump at an outdoor rally just outside Pittsburgh. Sources have told The Telegraph Crooks was planted on the roof of a manufacturing plant more than 130 yards away from the stage at the showgrounds where Mr Trump was shot at. News is next.

What a great song. Welcome back, everyone. Jeez, we play some good songs on this particular program as we welcome you back to Sunday afternoon footy, Brookvale Oval, Four Pines Park. You'll see it live and free online and you'll hear it with the continuous call team. We'll get over to the UK shortly. Neil Breen is going to be reporting in with some... There's barely qualifiers as new. What, um...

What time would it be over there? Roughly morning. Early morning. Be out at five or six. No, he wouldn't be out on the drink or anything, would he? What about Paul Brady? He's got over there to his nephew's Moses Embiid. I love Moses. So he's gone over there, dropped his daughter off at university. Thought, I'm going to go.

Go and watch Moses play. It's ten past six. Moses is suspended. He plays for St. Helens and he's suspended. Ten past six in the morning at London. By the way, this afternoon, of course, Manly, Newcastle will have team news coming through shortly. Last night, Dragons beat Broncos 30-26.

And the Gold Coast, too good for Parramatta, 24 points to 16. And State of Origin on Wednesday night. Again, you'll see that live and free on Nine, and you'll hear it with Ray Hadley and the Continuous Call team. Our great mate Matt Thompson's here, and he's walked in. He said, boys, I've got a topic. Now, rather than the four of us steal the topic, I think we should get Matt on to reveal... Let's hope it's a good one. ...what he's come up with. Matt Thompson, good afternoon to you, sir. Hello.

Hang on. Harry's off. He's going to the... You know what? Harry's in Paris already. Yeah, he's got one foot in the plane. We started off, Daryl's microphone didn't work. Now Matt's microphone's not working. How are you, Matt? Bonsoir. Bonsoir. How are you? Very well. How are you? I'm good. So I bought a burger here. And this has happened a little bit at some of the... In fact, at Cronulla as well. So when you get a burger...

and they include chips, you would think they were hot chips. But there seems to be this movement now to include crisps. You know what? I think it's laziness. It's not a go. Laziness, mate. They've just got to open a packet and they just throw a few in there. Yeah. You know, they don't have to cook them.

See, this happened to me. I'm anti it. I'm anti it. I hate it too. It was a normal thing in England. So you would order a, just say you ordered a salad roll or you ordered a burger like Tomo did. They feed the perps getting a salad roll and chips. But that's, but it'd be crisps. That's what you get in England. That would be what they served with a little garnish sort of salad. And you had crisps. That was just the norm over there. I'm with Matt. How disappointed do you get? Hot chips.

It's awful. I'm disappointed, but I still eat them. That's not surprising. Does anyone else? Who doesn't? You still eat them. Of course you do. It's not the gestane. What Matt is saying is it's what's your preference. You'd prefer hot chips, wouldn't you? Absolutely. Hot chippies. Mate, hot chips are underrated. Really? Who underrates hot chips? A lot of people. The people who sell those things at restaurants. The hamburger people. They're underrated.

Just put a bit of effort in. You know what you can get?

Hello, frozen chips. Put them in the air fryer for five minutes. Get them out. I don't think there's any air fryers here, Brookie. It's not that hard. They drop them into the deep fryer, Daryl. They don't here. That's because they've got crisps. Maybe that's why they don't have hot chips here. Exactly. They just do burgers and they don't have the deep fryer. Laziness. Buy one. You know what? You can get a mega air fryer. It's like going to Fritz's Wieners and they're not giving you a wiener. You go to a hamburger and chip joint, you want a hamburger and chips. Yeah, you do. But I reckon they're saving money.

I'm sure they are. It's easier. Did you lodge a complaint? Should we tell Wayne Cousins, the media manager? No need to complain. I suppose their argument would be that you ordered a burger, you didn't order chips, so we're giving these as extras. I just don't think it's necessary. Could you order chips and get a side serving of a burger? No.

They can ask for some chips. They'll throw a burger in as well, champion. What sort of chips you want? Hot chips. That should be crisp. I'd like Matt to mention this in his graphic description this afternoon. Who are you calling with this afternoon?

Well, Gus and Joey. Did Joey come in here before? Yeah. He's a bit under the weather, I think. You might need to rely on Gus tonight. I saw him on the footy show this morning. He sounds like he's had a big, big drink yesterday. Tripped in Newcastle. He's a little wounded. A little wounded. Say no more. Anyway. All right. Thank you, Matty. Good calling. Okay. Have a great afternoon. Oh, is this the last time we're going to see you before Paris?

Oh, origin, of course. Wednesday, of course. Yeah. Well, we'll see you on Wednesday, but good calling in Paris, mate. I think I heard you last night say swimming and weightlifting. Yes, well, the swimming for the first nine days, and I've got the two 10K swims, open water swims.

Which is in the Seine, we believe in the Seine, where people were still pooping in the river. You know the Seine? Did you see they did well on the rain? Did it used to be called the Seine in the old days? Is it just me or something? Because I've noticed you saying the Seine. The French call it the Seine. Have you seen that movie about it? No. The Seine. Under Paris? No. About the shark? No. There you go. Is there a shark in the Seine? Yes, there is. There's a little Seine. It's a make-believe one, isn't it? A little bit of homework for you there. Is there a freshwater shark in the Seine? I watched it the other night. It's a bull shark.

Like most of his stories. This isn't an animated film. No. Well, good calling, Matty. We'll see you on Wednesday and then we'll hear you on Channel 9 throughout the swimming. Have a good call. See you, buddy. There he is, Matt Thompson from Nine's Wide World of Sports and, of course, the Continuous Call team. Speaking of the Continuous Call team, let's do this.

On the continuous call team. This major breaking news just in. This barely qualifies as news. Brainy's Breaking News. Brainy's News.

Yes, and he's taken his, well, two-week break in the midst of a very important run to the finals, State of Origin 3 Wednesday night. And I've been in regular contact with Breeny while he's been over in the UK. He's had a couple of boys trips with Big H, as we like to call him. But he, yes, was disappointed going to the footy, not able to watch Moses Semby. Neil Breen, good afternoon to you back here in Australia. Good morning to you over there in the UK. Hello, boys. How are you? Very well. How are you? Good.

Yeah, good as gold. I mean, the lovely Manchester at the moment. I'm going to be here tonight for England playing in the Euro final. They're going mad for it over here. I mean, M-A-D, mad. It's coming home, Breeny. It's coming home. I went and watched Moses' little boy play soccer yesterday, and over the loudspeakers at the under-six soccer match, they were playing footballs coming home on loop. LAUGHTER

That's a local ground. I'm not joking. How's Moses going? How's he playing over there?

Yeah, really well. Really well. He's got a few man of the matches and playing good, except for the fact that as Levi told you, I had a plane, trains and automobiles, boys. I've stuffed up, right? So Moses was playing on Saturday the 13th. So I've got it all booked and everything and the trip and the travel and we're going here. We've got this hotel, got that hotel. And then Moses phoned me. We were in Italy on Monday and he goes, bro, he,

I said, yeah. He goes, when are you getting here? I said, Saturday. He goes, we're playing Friday. I said, Friday?

He goes, "Yeah, the game's Friday night." He goes, "You've looked up the time and it's given you the Australian time, which was 5:00 AM Saturday morning." So in Australia, it said July 13th. So I had to change all the travel plans and, oh, we're going to go this day, that day, cancel this hotel, book this hotel. Then he rings me a day later and goes, "Bro." I said, "What?" He goes, "I've been suspended."

You know who's laughing at the moment? All those people in that suburb last week where they were parking too close to the side of the footpath or something. You know, there's not enough room for the cars. They'll be laughing at you, mate, because you exposed them. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. All the people have done over...

What about Gordon I did over? The bloke with the rubbish at the block of flats. He would have been laughing. Anyway, they appealed it. Then they went to court appealing this one-week ban. He's played, what, 197 NRL games, lots of games here, trial matches, a few origins. Never been suspended in his life until we were going to watch him play in St Helens. But anyway, we sat with him in the stand.

It was at Wigan and everything Piggy told me about what would happen, happened. It was packed out. There was 20-something thousand. I could not believe the singing and the fever pitch and the St. Helens and Wigan's fans giving it to each other for 80 minutes. Yeah.

It was unreal. It gives you an idea, Brainy. The NRL back here in Australia this week have announced that not only will we have two NRL games, we'll have a women's test match and Wigan and Warrington, a Super League game in Vegas next year. So given you've had a bit of a taste of what the rugby league followers are like in England, can you imagine what it's going to be like in Vegas when Wigan plays Warrington? Well, after what I've seen over the last couple of days in this area of England, and Piggy will know what I'm about to say,

they'll need to order a truckload of more Budweiser into Las Vegas. So they like that kind of time thing. Oh, mate. They love it. Wow. Now, Bernie, I spent a couple of tours over there as an emu with the Aussie side, and we were in Manchester. If you need a couple of places to go, you can go and visit Deansgate Locks, and there's also a place called The Alchemist, which is very good. It's a nice little wine bar. There is a gentleman's club. Oh.

in the area, but I won't tell you what that is. You can find that one out yourself. What's a gentleman's club? Is it just blokes only? No, Darren. It's a strip club. A strip club? You're disgusting. I've got the kids with me, Josh. I don't know about the gentleman's club. That'll learn some point.

Just leave them where you are and go now. Hey, I've got a bit of breaking news from over here, and it won't make Levy happy. Oh, no. The Rabideaux's big signing, Lewis Dodd, has been dropped from the St Helens team. Got dropped for the big league class, even though there was a stack of injuries. So he's going like a bastard, Doddy.

Yeah, the coach has told him. I read a bit about it. He's got to aim up a bit and work on a few areas and stuff like that. And I thought, oh, gee, that's a big signing for the Rabbitohs. And if he's dropped from a St. Helens side that was crippled with injuries, there's a few problems there, Levi. Well, you're just telling me that he's caught a case of the Rabbitohs because they ain't going much better back here in Australia, are they?

Oh, yeah, I saw that the other night. Better than the Broncos, though. What's going on there? Yeah, they've got big problems. Poor old Kevvy. They've lost six in a row. So, Sabrina, what else have you been doing over there? Because you're going to see the boss, aren't you? You're going to see Mr Springsteen at some point.

Yeah, so my daughter's going to study in Oslo for 12 months. So we're going over to Scandinavia and we're going to leave her there. And we will go to Stockholm because we hadn't been there. And I'm taking my 10-year-old boy to see Bruce Springsteen on Thursday night in Stockholm, which will be unreal. So really looking forward to that. And then we'll leave Juliet there and off she'll go. She's good friends with Brad Fittler's daughter, Demi. And Demi's going to be studying in Oslo, Canada.

I know in Copenhagen for 12 months, so they're going to be hanging out. They're sort of doing a bit of an adventure together. So Freddie was going to come over for Christmas, and then he rang me and goes, are you going to go for Christmas? I said, oh, I don't know. He goes, we should go. He goes, you know the sun doesn't come up in, like, Copenhagen at Christmas time? He goes, you know, F-bomb that. I'm not going. I said, okay, well, you just leave your daughter there for 12 months on the road, Freddie. Just start all day.

Oh, he's the best. Bradley, he's the best. Josh, before we let Briony go, do you want to inform him on this expose? No, well, you might need to check out the parking situation at Pronto. There's been rumours swirling and circulating that the parking spaces...

aren't the proper size and they don't fit in with council regulations, then it could be a health issue. So it's something you may want to investigate when you get back. Brainy won't be going and dudding his mate Levy, will you, Brainy? I mean, you've got principles. Plus, you know where your bread's buttered. I'll fix it. As soon as I stick a microphone in front of some councillor's face, the problem will be absolutely fixed. LAUGHTER

Thank you, Brady. There's more problems at Pronto, though. Why? What's wrong? What's happened? They don't even open the bags of chips there when they give you a burger and chips. They just shove it on the side of the plate unopened. That's what you get. You get those little, you know, you can buy them like packs of 20 or something. No, we're doing chip tasting tomorrow, actually. Chip tasting? I've got hot chip tasting tomorrow morning before I go into the Piedmont studios for a couple of meetings. Who's going to taste them? Well, all the staff and the chefs and everything. We've got all the chips coming in and we're trying all the different chippies. I'm available.

Pick me up, big man. I'm available. I'll bring the kids down. We've got to pick up the chip. I've just got to get the pizza oven sorted tomorrow, so that's going to cause a bit of a blow-up. Are you thinking crinkle cut chips? No, no, no, no. I've been told no crinkle cuts. They look cheap and not everyone likes them. So you've got to get a quality chip to go with all the food we're going to serve. No, no, not thick. Just a normal-sized chip. Just nice chips. Yeah, nice chips.

So you haven't gone to the expert. Sweet potato or what? No, no, no. We're just, mate, just affordable chippies. We're just going to have an affordable place. Are the potatoes like, you know, you get the beef that's, what's it called when it's the good stuff? You know, they feed them the right food. Wagyu. Wagyu beef. I mean, can you get like a same brand of chip? Well, I'll have to talk to our man, Sam, who's bringing us some chippies. They go and massage the potatoes. LAUGHTER

As Gals read yesterday. Drizzle them in duck fat. I do live by myself. Anyway, Brady, we've got to go. You enjoy yourself. Are you back next week with us or what? Yeah, I'll be back next week. I'll be jet lagged but on fire. Okay. Well, you're going to have to go well because Mark Gasney last week was very, very good and Josh Morris today has really lifted his game.

Well, they are seasoned performers, and you always take a risk when you have a break mid-season. If I'm not back, listeners, it's been a pleasure. Love you, Brady. See you next week, bro. See you, mate. There he is, our man Neil Brady. He's one of the greats, and he'll be back with us next Sunday. But what a nice thing for him to do, to take his daughter to university over in Switzerland and to go and see, obviously, some family members, including Moses Embiid.

over in England. Fantastic stuff. We're off to a break. We'll come back with more from Full Pines Park. Gee, that hill's filling up quickly. The northern end of the field, the Bob Fulton stand filling up quickly as well. First grade coming up at 4.05, Manly and Newcastle.

Obviously, Chris isn't a Bruce Springsteen fan. Brady's been to 14 Bruce Springsteen concerts. Yeah, he loves him. He loves him. Absolutely loves him. Listen, you keep losing your little thing on the top of your microphone. Oh, I've lost me knob again. Like, would it change much?

What, the concert? Probably the same songs. Well, he plays classics, but I suppose he just plays it in a different order.

How many times? 14 times. I reckon I've seen Elton John about four times. He's great. Yeah, I love Elton John. Well, John Farnham, I've seen him a couple of times. Have you? My mum was a big John Farnham fan. I saw him on the Red Hot Summer Tour. Who did you see, mate? Elton, I'm with you. I've seen him four or five times. Yeah, I reckon I've seen him. I saw him at Hunter Valley. Foo Fighters. I saw them at... I've said this before. I've got a DVD of Robbie Williams performing at Nebworth.

I don't know where Nebworth is. It must be in the UK somewhere. But is Nebworth's about 400 million? He's loaded. Well, his performance was unbelievable in front of a massive crowd. Is that the one where I saw on Netflix, I think it was, or Stan, where he came up on a thing out through the stage and just turned up? I mean, it was phenomenal.

phenomenal. It might have been at, what's the stadium in England, the big one? Oh, Wembley. Wembley, I think it was at Wembley where he just came up out of underneath like the stage and the stage came up and he just started singing. Jeez, it was good. You went to a concert earlier this year or was it last year? No, Foo Fighters earlier this year but um

I think Brett went to Robbie Williams as well. He played at Allianz at the start of this year, and he said it was the best concert he'd ever seen. Yeah, right. Well, when we walked into the MCG the other day, did you boys see the pink suit that he wore? Yes. That was in the cupboard there? Yeah, it was up. The suit that Robbie wore on Grand Final Day. Yep. Amazing. From on that media level when you turned in the media building, yeah. Pretty cool. Yeah, good. It was fantastic. If you've never been to the MCG, do yourself a favour, folks. It is unbelievable. Let's do this.

The bookies have them at heads and tails to make it a go at the Premiership. The Eagles, $21.00. The Knights, $101.00.

Either of them getting a sniff this year? I don't think so. But same game multi for George Rose. This one's come through from the boys. Manly 13+, Homolio Olokowatu, any time try scorer, and Tom Trubojevic, any time try scorer. That's a price there of $7.34. So Manly 13+, Homolio Olokowatu to score any time,

And yet again, folks, my apologies. We've been having too much fun and I forgot to give you the three clues throughout the afternoon. So what I might do is just give them to you now, all three, okay? So once you know the three people, the audio clues, you give us a ring on 1300 722 873. 1300 722 873 and you'll win yourself a $150 Lowe's digital gift card. Here is clue number one. Yeah, I love the people. I love the club. I love the area and everything it's about. Yeah.

He plays for the Roosters. He's got a finger missing. AC. I know that. And he plays for New South Wales on Wednesday night. There's a clue for you. We'll play clue number one again for you. Yeah, I love the people. I love the club. I love the area and everything it's about. All right, so that's number one. We move to clue number two. The feeling that you get from it. Can't really describe it, so obviously I want to have that again.

Andrew Johns referred to him earlier as KP. KP. I think you'll find. We'll play it again for you. Clue number two. The feeling that you get from it. Can't really describe it, so obviously I want to have that again. And this next one plays for the mighty South Sydney Rabbitards. Yeah, he carries on a bit like I always say, but he's a good teammate.

Good man too. CM. One more time, number three. Yeah, he carries on a bit like I always say about him. He's a good teammate.

All right, if you know who they are, 1-300-722-873. 1-300-722-873. There they are, of course, the three clues. The first caller through with the correct answers wins the $150 Lowe's digital gift card. Now, I just noticed our man Cazzo downstairs signalling to send somebody down. So who's doing the interviews, Piggy or Josh? I'm going down. OK, well, you'd better go downstairs because the Golden Eagles aren't too far away, I believe. You know, he couldn't find the great George Rose. He's probably with the Golden Eagles. Well, he's not on the list.

He's got to be a golden eagle. Well, he is, but he's obviously got better things to do today. He's a busy man these days, George. No, that's true. Wearing boxing promoter hats and all that sort of thing. So that's all right. We can push on. But where's this list that they've given me? Let me see if George Rose's name's on here.

No, he's not on the list. Anyway, we've given the same game multi. That's all that matters. And the wonderful crew at Pointsbet. That's the website, pointsbet.com.au. You can download the app as well. Piggies heading downstairs to catch up with a couple of the Golden Eagles. We're off to a break. Back with more continuous call time. Yeah, the Newcastle Knights have come out for their warm-up at the southern end of Full Pines Park. We've got the Chew Girls entertaining the crowd in the middle.

Brookvale Oval and Mark Piggy-Riddell will be heading downstairs to catch up with a few of the Golden Eagles. Our man Wayne Cousins is down there, the manly media manager, and he's going to try and grab a couple of the legends for Piggy to have a chat to. In the meantime, boys, I know a colleague at work who years ago went to every Australian Metallica concert, every show in every city. He needed to take a loan out to do it. Not surprisingly, his long-suffering fiancée left him after that.

That one from Carlton at Villawood. Thank you, Carlton. Now, having a look here, Paul's suggesting Brainy was on the source. No, no, no, it was six in the morning over there. He's had a quiet night from all reports. He's doing okay, Brainy. Now, look, this is something I'd like to investigate with you, Big Man, because Willow's been in touch. And given your performance was brilliant today on the footy show...

There's a lot of people suggesting you need your own show. So we had that earlier one, Eating with the Big Man. But I think Willow's got the right idea. Your own variety show after 9pm called Up Late with Big Man.

Mate, there is an issue. You have to pre-record it because I'm in bed way before night. I've gone to bed by then. What time is bedtime at your place? 8 o'clock, 8.30? Depends on how long I've watched television all day. Like if I'm sitting there watching the races all day until about 5, I've usually had enough. So I'm ready for bed. Mate, I could go to bed seriously. I try not to go to bed before, say, 8.30 because I don't sleep very well.

Anywhere about 8.30 or 9 is about my... So an up late with Big Man would have to be pre-recorded. Yeah, absolutely. Up late with the Big Man, but early on.

Now, I'm just having a look. Where's Piggy? He was downstairs. Oh, there he is. He's down there waving. He's down there with Cazzo. What about Cazzo's the manly media manager? He's just become Piggy Riddell's assistant. Unbelievable. Oh, he's got his microphone there. Let's go downstairs, ladies and gentlemen. Mark Piggy Riddell's made his way to the northern end of the ground, and he's standing in front of the Bob Fulton stand. Hello, Pig. Good afternoon, Levy. Beautiful conditions here for Sunday afternoon.

We're just waiting for the Golden Eagles to arrive because, as you just said, Cazzo, he's conducting everything here. But he told me to come up to this northern end in the grandstand. He said the Golden Eagles are there waiting. He said he'll grab a couple for us so we can have a chat to them. Out of interest, Piggy. There's no one there. Out of interest, Piggy, given Cazzo's responsible for this.

Is there a guarantee they'll beat you before kick-off? No, there's no guarantee, Lee. Because he said to me, come up to this northern end, come up, they're all waiting there. And we've just got up here and there's no one there. So he's a bit rattled at the moment. You can watch it live at the pub.

Yeah, they might all still be there, I reckon. So we've got no one yet, and he's a bit stressed because he's got Anthony Seabold with Channel 9 at 3.40, and he doesn't know what's going on. Poor old Cazzo. He's under the pump, Cazzo. Is he sweating? Well, he just came over. When we're walking, he's like, oh, it's really cold, isn't it? I'm like, no, it's not.

It's actually really nice here this afternoon. Mate, he's just rattled. I'm just having a look now. He's got someone coming with him now. You know what he's rattled about? He's got Mezzi, the CEO. That's not a... He's a former player. Yeah, but we can do better than the CEO.

He thinks he's got the big wig, Bezzy, so he thinks he's done his job now. Tell Caso you've got one job. Caso's got one job. The boys upstairs said you've got one job, former players, and you've had to come to the big boss. It's all about promotion.

By the way, Pig, I found a really good restaurant the other day. It's called Pronto. Ah! Listen, don't use that. I'm cutting him off. Parking's a problem. Anyway, we're joined by Tony Mestrov, the Manly Seagulls CEO. Mezzi, big day for the club. We've got the Golden Eagles. Well, they are arriving shortly. There's about 150, Piggy, so pretty excited about today. The sun was out. What a cracking day at Brookie Sunday, Arvo. If you can't...

lift yourself in front of the old boys, there's problems. So I reckon the boys will lift it over you. It's an awesome afternoon, though. Well, that's something that the team's built themselves on this season is the fact that they can come here. I think you've had, what is it, five out of the six sold out here? Six out of seven. Six out of seven. And next week we've got the Titans as well. So the boys are really lifted at home. They've spoken about themselves. We've had some sellouts, so we're pretty excited about today. What about the Golden Eagles? Have you had the opportunity? Have you been with them this afternoon?

Piggy, maybe a few years ago. No beers today, mate. But they've had a few, put it that way. But, yeah, I went over, met a lot of the boys, made a speech, mate. So...

Good to see him out here. You're up there probably the nights in terms of the old boys. I think Boxy, Mark Bryant, they do a really good job, don't they, of making sure that the old boys are connected to the team these days. Yeah, Mark's done a great job. Mate, he's probably been the best that's been in that role. And we've really connected. Seebs has really backed it, particularly me being an old boy. Seebs has really embraced it. We've had a lot of old boys at training sessions after our

coming to our barbecues. So we're trying to embrace it. You've got to remember who dug the well, mate. That's the most important thing. Thanks for joining us, Mezzi. Good luck this afternoon. Thanks, Vicky. Tony, just before you go, we need to say a big thank you. I hope you understand what Wayne Cousins has done behind your back in organising the Big Manta VIP car park.

behind the Ken Arthurson stand. So if you weren't aware of what happened, can I say thank you on behalf of the big man? No, no problems at all, mate. Great cousins. He does what he's told, doesn't he? He's a good man. He loves getting on air. Oh, hang on. Is this the great man coming over again? He's got someone else for him. Look at him waddling cousin over there. Oh, he's got two of the greats. He's got two of the greats. We'll get back down to Piggy in just a second. He's got to go and try and work out... Is that Toovey?

I think we've got... Who's down there? I'm just having a look. We've got Maxi Krilic down there. Anyway, let's go back down to Piggy. Yeah, down here with two of the greats of Manly, Max Krilic and Alan Thompson. Boys, what's the afternoon been like so far? It's been fantastic, Piggy. We've had a few beers over the road there and now we come back

and hopefully we get to celebrate a great game of rugby league. Well, I got the opportunity just then to talk with the CEO, Tony Mestre. I just spoke to him about how well the Manly Seagulls do do the old boys and the Golden Eagles. Most certainly. It's been...

I think there was like nearly 100 and it's a tight unit. They do well here and the big thing as well at Brookvale Oval back here. The team have done a really good job this season of making sure they get the wins.

Well, Piggy, unfortunately, a couple of times we were led by over 12 points. In fact, against Canberra, we had 20 points and we lost. So we've got to win those games. And if we won those games, we'd be in the top two or three up there at the top. But they're going to be a hard opposition to Newcastle. I think we should get over the top of it, but shoulds never won anything, by the way.

and I should have never won the game. What about the afternoon itself? Great to catch up. Are there blokes there that you haven't seen in a long time that you get the opportunity to share a schooner with? A lot of the young guys are a lot of the younger guys. They're a terrific bunch of guys. They're terrific. Enjoy the afternoon, guys. Thanks for joining us. Thank you.

There they are, the boys. Two of Manly's greats with Mark Piggy-Riddell downstairs as we edge closer and closer to kick-off. What we might do is take a quick break. We'll come back with plenty more. Piggy might be able to grab a few more. They're about to wander out. So we'll clear a quick break. We'll come back with more of the Golden Eagles.

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, wonderful to have you with us. The Golden Eagles making their way along the touchline on the eastern side of the field. And it's a big day too for Clippy Lyons who will be presented with his 300 club ring in a special on-field tribute. He'll receive the ring from NRL CEO Andrew Abdo in recognition of his outstanding career and contribution to the game of Rugby League.

And as I have a look downstairs, I think he's got the great man with him right now, Mark Piggy-Riddell, down to you. Yeah, exactly right, Levy, I do. Cliffy, good afternoon. You just heard Mark Levy speaking there about the special afternoon for yourself. Yeah, it is great. It's something I wasn't aware of until last week, so yeah, it's a special moment. I'm privileged. What about the afternoon? How good is it, the way that the club gets together, gets all the old boys back together?

for an afternoon just to enjoy each other's company again. Yeah, it's certainly great. It's something that the club should keep up forever. Just to reminisce on old games and that and wins and losses and things that we've done back in the young days, probably silly things, but yeah, it's a special moment and it's great to catch up with the boys. Is there anyone in particular that you've been able to catch up with that you probably haven't seen in a long, long time? Oh, there's...

There's a few of them. I probably won't mention them all because I probably might like them if I name a few. But there is a couple there. Anthony Rogers, the emu. He's one of the blokes. He got a few games. I just remember him playing his first first-grade game. It was pretty special for him and his family.

so it's good plus Al Cochran played in the 87 grand final so he's here so there's a few others so yeah good what about the game itself the boys they tackle on the Newcastle Knights an opportunity to get back in that top 8 this afternoon yeah it's a

Good way to pencil ourselves in that top eight. Obviously, if we win, that's another jump forward to keep that eight spot. So, yeah, it's going to be a good day, I hope. Congratulations, Cliffy, on the achievement this afternoon. Thanks for joining us. Cheers, mate. Thank you. He's one of the greats, Cliff Lyons. And I actually met Cliffy down at Gundagai, Big Mum, when we were down there for a snake gully cup. He's a good fella.

A great fella. Whatever fella he is, he was a better player, mate. He was magical. He was a good player. And I'm just having a look downstairs. Andrew Abdo's waiting downstairs to present that ring and a lovely moment for them here, the Golden Eagles. And they are very, very nice rings. They certainly are. That's right. I forgot you had one. Where did you put it? Do you wear it regularly or not? No, I only wear it kind of.

grand final day. Piggy's waving at me. He's got another one of the boys with him. Piggy. Yeah, got one of the younger boys. When you have a look around at the Golden Eagles this afternoon, Jamie Lyon. Jamie, a special afternoon for all you boys. An opportunity to catch up with everyone, have a few beers. Yeah, that's right, mate. It's

Yeah, good to be back here and catching up with some old friends. So, yeah, it brings up some good memories. Mate, for our listeners out there, what are you doing these days? Mate, I work for a sportswear company, Paladin Sports. I just do it from up the north coast and travel around and sell some footy gear and apparel. Mate, you come back to an afternoon like this, is there anyone in particular that you've really been keen to have a couple with?

Mate, I'm looking forward to catch up with the snake, but he's got a few formalities to do, so I'll probably catch up with him later on and just all the crew, really. Is there anyone you try to avoid? There's a few in there too. I won't name any names. Have a good afternoon, mate. Thanks for joining us. Thanks, bud. Cheers. Jamie Lyon with Mark Piggie-Riddell. Well done, Piggie.

Job well done. He's made his way from one end of the field to the other and the Golden Eagles, this is special, Daryl, and you know what it's like to play for a club out at Penrith and the Bulldogs and this is important because without the history of clubs like this, they're not what they are.

on days like today. So it's important for Manly and their fans to acknowledge all of the wonderful people that have worn that Manly jumper, and that's what they're doing this afternoon. I heard before, I think it was Tony Mestrop, he said that they actually get the players there to training with Seabolt, it was organised. You know what?

I think it is important, Mark, because, you know, I mean, it's easy to say, oh, these are the blokes who dug the well, but they did play and they, you know, they spilled blood for this great club. And it's the same in every club that's in the competition. They do need to acknowledge the, you know, the guys who were there in the early days. And, you know, I think everyone would say the same thing. It goes so quickly. Once you give it away...

it does, your life just passes so quickly and you do miss the camaraderie, you miss all the mateship and the drinks and the fun and all that sort of stuff. You do miss it, so these are great days. Well, we'll leave Piggy downstairs because we're only, what, 10, 15 minutes away from kick-off. Josh, I'll get you to make a comment because you only retired from the game, what, was it three years ago now? Yeah, three years ago. But, but,

That's where you make friends for life, in playing as a part of a team. You were lucky to pull on a number of clubs' jerseys and you've still got great mates that you played alongside and against and that's what days like today are all about. Yeah, I love old boys' days and I have played at four clubs but I just love what they're about and it is. It's about those players that dug the well and the younger generation are starting to come around. I mean, it

you do retire and then you go oh nah I'll wait till I'm a bit older but like Big Martin says before you know it it could be 10 years before you see these blokes so I think it's important for the younger generation of players you know the early 2000s and to now to get on board and come to these events like today because they're such a great day you talk to people you normally wouldn't

get the chance to meet and you talk about your good times, you talk about all those times you shared on the field and off the field, you catch up, you find out who's doing what, how their family is and it just brings back so many wonderful memories so I love old boys days and

You always, as a player, when you see those old boys out on the field walking around, you want to do them justice. And you do that by going out and getting a win. I want to just go down to Piggy just quickly again. Jason says, great work from the pig. I didn't hear the word proud once. Produced. Well done.

Good work from you. He's matured. Thanks, big man. I'll put that in the cupboard for a while. Can you tell Kazay to stop following me now? He's just everywhere at the moment. He's everywhere. You know what he wants? He wants a well-done cut. From far away, they look like twins. He did a good job. They do look like twins from far away. See, man, Kazay, we're rock solid.

Did he get Seabald on Channel 9? Yeah, I think he's going there now. He might be a bit of a stripper if he doesn't do that. He's too busy. Channel 9 pays the bills, cuz, eh? Yes. No, look, now he's with the fans. Oh, he's kissing ladies in the crowd. He's kissing members of the club. Young chicks and everything. Now he's even going on with it. Is he holding a baby? This bloke's insufferable.

Look at him. He said, yeah, g'day, how you doing there? Yeah, yeah. Wayne Cousins, media manager. If you need a better seat, come and see me. Anyway, we'll take a break. Come back and get the boys' tips. The two teams out there warming up. Manly Newcastle, the one game this afternoon. Great to have you with us. Continuous call team here at Four Pines Park, Brookvale, where the Northern Eagles are at the southwestern corner. Cliff Lyons has just been presented with his 300 club ring by Andrew Abdo, the NRL boss.

and the two teams are out there warming up. How good's this, boys? Another sellout on the northern beaches. Blue skies, sunshine, a few puffs of clouds out there on the horizon, but all is in readiness for what should be a really good game of footy. Big man. It's going to be great, isn't it? I love the old boys' days. I was just talking to Jay Moss about it, and, you know, the things that...

that they're doing. I mean, it might be a little bit late because he was saying before that both Terry Lamb and Paul Langmack got acknowledged. It was probably about a month ago, I think, we were out there. And, you know, Langers was saying he just felt as though he hadn't been really acknowledged for 300-gamer. And you're a 300-gamer.

It's an amazing achievement. Oh, it is. But especially for, you know, blokes that played in the 80s and 90s to get to 300 games when the comp wasn't as long. Yeah, that's true. And, mate, I think it's fair to say you could...

cop a few knocks. I'm not saying the physicality is not there these days because it is and they're faster and they're better. I think it was tough I guess. You cop one round the head in those days and people just get away with it. So they're just making their way in front of us now and there's a round of applause from all of the season ticket holders and club members of Manly as the Golden Eagles make their way past and

I should also mention they're playing for a trophy today named in honour of Malcolm Rearley. Named after Great Britain Great, Malcolm Rearley, Manly and Newcastle play for the annual trophy when they meet for the first time each season in honour of the man who made a big impact at both clubs. He played 89 games for Manly from 1971 to 1975 and played in their premiership winning teams in 1972 and 1973. Of course, he later coached Newcastle to their first premiership victory against Manly

The trophy was first played for in 2007, and of the 17 matches played, Manly has won the trophy 10 times. So it's great. And I should mention, too, for any of those supporters listening to us on their way out to the ground, it's worth going back to the Manly Leagues Club because I've just noticed supporters will be able to meet the players at a special signing session from 7 o'clock

in the Menzies Sports Bar at the Leagues Club following the game. I mean, that brings back memories of me going along to South Sydney games and we go back to South Sydney Leagues and meet some of your heroes. So what an opportunity for the families and the supporters of Manly to go back and meet some of their heroes, including some of the old boys, back at the Leagues Club tonight. So well done. They're doing a lot of things right here at Manly. You know, they're a club that over the years have copped a bit of stick, you know, because everyone...

didn't like them mainly because they purchased just about every decent player that was available in the old days and they probably didn't have the success that they expected but I reckon over the last 10 years or so they've done a lot of things right here and this ground is way better than it used to be you're now getting packed stadiums you know it's a

I don't know if boutique's the right word, but it's a bit old school here, isn't it? And I like old school. I think boutique's a good word. You know, if you put a grandstand down the... Yep. Whatever end that is, that's a... Northern end. Northern end. You know, and this grandstand, even though it's a little bit old, it's fine. I'm happy to come here and do what we've got to do here. It's a great day. Well, boys, Newcastle's making its way back into the sheds. Manly is as well. So let's get your tips for Maccas.

An epic stack of beef, cheese, crispy onions and creamy peppercorn mayo. The new Steakhouse stack has landed at Macca's. We'll get a tip, a player to watch and a first try scorer for First National Real Estate, Big Mar. Well, first try scorer, I'm going to go Tom Travojevic before I forget about it because I think he will, I think fullback will suit him. I am going to tip Manly, but the more I look at these two sides...

The back line worries me a little bit for the Knights, but I think they've got a decent enough forward pack here. I think this will be a good game today. As I said, I'm going to tip the Seagulls. The player I want to watch is Jamie Humphries. I don't know Jamie, but I used to work with his dad, and he's a lovely bloke.

And I hope he has some great success. I want to see Jamie Humphries. Good luck to him. Josh, your tips for Maccas and also First National Real Estate. Yeah, I've tipped Manly here. I think the first try scorer will be Jason Saab. And the player to watch...

I'm going to go Hamoli Olokowatu. All right, thank you very much, Mark. Piggy Riddell's down on the touchline. Piggy, who are you tipping? Yeah, I'm tipping the Manly Seagulls to get the win at home. Player to watch, Nathan Brown. If there's someone on Old Boys Day that's going to fire up, it's going to be Nathan Brown. First try, scorer, I'm going Tommy Talao. And just quickly, Piggy, the atmosphere's obviously electric downstairs. Full house again.

here at Brookvale. That playing surface looks in pretty good order as well. Yeah, the playing surface is immaculate. You know, it looks like we're not going to have any rain, which is going to be nice. And, yeah, it's a really crisp afternoon. So, mate, it's going to be a great game of footy. Packed house here. We love it at Brookie. Hopefully we get that good game. And I notice you've positioned yourself away from the speakers, which is very smart. Well, it's about being experienced, Mark. Thank you very much. As opposed to our junior side on eye, Josh, who likes to park himself right next to the speakers.

especially in a Friday night. I've also put myself next to the cheerleaders. Actually, Pig, I saw Mark Carroll talking to you and you were having a chat. What was the chat about? Spud was just asking who was on this afternoon. He said he's been listening. He said, Levy, what are you thinking? Seven-seater, you don't need it. Oh, come on, Spud. That's what he said. You know what, Spud came to my high school. Spud was a good mate to my late father. He came to my high school, Sylvania High School, to give out sport awards, Piggy. He was at the time driving one of those fancy Senators, I think they were.

They were. Mate, you should have seen him at the end of the day when he realised some low-bloodger from Sylvania high-tipped Coca-Cola all over the bonnet of his car. Oh, no. He was ready to kill someone. Anyway, he's a good man, Spud, and he's down there as part of the Golden Eagles. We'll take one last break. When we return, all of the action here at Four Pines Park, Manly and Newcastle on Sunday afternoon.
