Now on Wide World of Sports, the Sunday Carve-Up. 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

Indeed, let's go sideline. Paul Gullen for a comment as the teams walk off for half. Freezing down here. Hey, what? It's freezing down here. Why would you not bring a jacket, you imbo? Harry, see this jacket? Take it down to whinging face on the sideline while I'm not using it. I see you've got my jacket. If you leave with that jacket, I'm going to knock you out. I just realised there's a set of car keys in the right pocket. Oh, and my...

And my AirPods. My AirPods. You didn't say your wallet, so I won't take it. There's nothing in that. We have a cheat amongst us. I've rocked up to work this morning and found email after email from a trivia knife naming and shaming this low thing. Yep, and we didn't even win. How did you?

No, seriously, I don't see the point of cheating. He can't even cheat. Well, it was one question, and I can't even remember what it was. I think it was the capital of Australia, wasn't it? LAUGHTER

So I had a little secret pocket in my jacket. What happened to be in the secret pocket? Well, my phone was in there and it was a donation of $20 to... Hold on, hold on, hold on. People were getting caught. Secret jacket, phone's in a bag, $20 donation. Where is this place? People were getting caught. I got caught, so I ended up giving them $40. I said, that's for next time you catch me. I want to quickly...

Yes. Acknowledge our departing panel operator in the adjoining studio. Oh, Dekke Duda. Dekke Duda. He's going. Is Declan going? Declan Hellmore, Dekke Duda, 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. From Frankfurt. Frankfurt.

Excuse me? That's what he's going to get sorted. Can we bring in our great mate Brad Fittler, please, from Channel 9's Wide World of Sports? He does a bit of walking on the beach from time to time, and I'm sure he's got a view on this. Hello, Freddie. G'day, gents. Mate, we're talking about an old bloke taking a leaf blower down to the beach, and when the kids are finished on the beach, he just stands there and leaf blows the sand off them. Your thoughts? Old blokes and leaf blowers, they're not in the same sentence. LAUGHTER

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. Now, he's taken them to the Blue Mountains in the middle of winter, which is lovely. You know, take a lot of jumpers, sit by the fire, enjoy yourselves. I said, whereabouts in the Blue Mountains? Because there's not too many places. 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 Wales are in good team there. Checked in there. So, 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. I might be able to get a game in, but if the little fella's giving me a bit of grief, I might throw him out there with the blue side and see how he handles them. I am getting away Wednesday, Thursday next week, so if you're in the area, pop in and say hello. LAUGHTER

Levy, J-Moz was on fire last night. Please pass on my congratulations to the Marcel Marceau of the Continuous Call team. What did he do last night? He was very good last night. He was very energetic and enthusiastic. Jeez, what happened? He went on the pokies. Well, he announced to the world he's having a third child, so that might have had something to do with it. Oh, has he really? Yeah. Oh, he got a bit of love. So congratulations to Josh. So he's the father.

Cheers, Daryl. You can't say that. It's too late. Yeah, I had a tough week. I had surgery on Wednesday morning. I'll say this. I was in hospital and when I wake up, there's AL written on my knee.

And I asked them on social media what it was, and I thought it was anterior labrum, because I'm pretty sure that's the part I had sort of taken out. And I had someone message me on social media and say, Gail, you won't believe this, but it's this simple. It's the doctor's initials, straight initials. Where does he put his initials if you get in a snap? No idea. That's a good point. I'd be lucky to put a full stop on you. LAUGHTER

It's looking straight at you, gal. Yeah, I won't be going. I'll be very... Are you scared of possums? Well, I don't really like animals like that, yeah. I'll be doing my best to get past it. Are you sure that's a possum? It's not like a little baby kangaroo or something, is it? I think it's a kangaroo. I was concerned for the possum because I was trying to call the game while it was sort of there and then we...

It was there one minute and gone the next. I hope they sort of didn't shoo it and it sprinted down the stairs and jumped off the cliff or something. Didn't take you as the animal-loving type. I'm an animal lover. Big animal lover. I feel sorry for possums. You're just there, oh, I feel sorry for the possum. I like animals. Who cares? It's a possum. They're everywhere. They're disgusting. You are a disgusting human.

Disgusting. 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, well, you hate it. You hate it. You treat it like a dog. He's a cat lady. No, no, no. The cat with me is not by choice. I've just inherited it from him. He doesn't like the cat either. 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. An olive branch has been extended between Daryl Broman and Paul Gallen, who have carpooled in from the Sutherland Shire today. So does this mean the war of words, the animosity,

and the growing pains between them have been resolved. Let's find out. Big Mart, it's a very good afternoon to you. My sat-nav is... I don't like it. I often think you're better off just going with the gut feel than it's coming to drive, because I've driven here a number of times, but as I've got older, I've forgotten how I got here. In the settings, have you selected the avoid tolls button by any chance? Yes.

Maybe just deselect the avoid tolls button next time. Yeah, I might have to do that. Well, Gail said you can go the tollway or whatever. That was when we were halfway here. I've had enough of this. No, we're not going to stop arguing. He's an imbo. Boy, you're getting one thing. What? How are you getting home? LAUGHTER
