The Continuous Call Team – Full Show Sunday 30th June 2024 02:03:30

Now, live, right across Australia, the continuous cold team. Goes out the back to Rapita. Oh, intercepted by Dewey. He's over 40 to 50. Dewey, he's going to score a try. And he's returned. Yeah, I think he's been through. This is a crowd.

on top with Mark Levy, Daryl Broman, Mark Riddell and Neil Breen. After I have a shower, I clean the glass with like a squeegee thing and then I go to the floor and

and I squeegee all the water towards the water. You've got way too much time on your hands. Seb's in Western Sydney. Hello, Seb. I was mid-bite through my reheated pizza there and I had to spit it out at the vision of the big barn, bending down and cleaning his shower with a squeegee. Me too. It's not as if I'm posting it on Instagram or something. It's in the privacy of my own home. I bet you walk around with nothing on sometimes, Jabba. Mate, I'm driving around.

out now with knock it on. There you go. Life, sport and laughter right across your weekend. Phil was sending me some of the greatest stuff that I'd ever produced on our great breakfast show. Macquarie Sport? Yes. Maybe he's like, oh, this was the greatest one-liner ever. Yeah. Remember that? Yeah. When the bolt went through the cock in the cricket. You ever had a cramp in your toe? I had a cramp in me hammy the other day. But you don't do anything. I was doing something. Oh,

There's a one-on-one there, Connolly Lemuelo. I thought you were talking about the whole trip. I'd move dog, thank you. He's got a grip. I said, Carly, get the pickle juice.

The Continuous Call team, thanks to Macca's, Harvey Norman, First Choice Liquor, Ram Trucks, Westback, Uber, Castrol, Ducks Hot Water, Brydon's Lawyers, Lowe's, Karcher and 1-800-GOT-JUNK. When you're subbing copies of newspapers and everything, what did you... So the use of commas. Commas. You just need to move on with your life. Actually, I want to know more about this. What happened? I love a comma. Just commas being...

Look, look, look. I love a comma. Yeah, I'm always good for a comma. What an exclamation mark. Roger says, hi team, boy George used the most commas out of anyone. Comma, comma, comma, comma, comma. And now...

It's time for the Continuous Call Team. Ah yes, good afternoon ladies and gentlemen. Welcome along to a Sunday afternoon of the footy with the Continuous Call Team as we broadcast from the foot of the Blue Mountains on what's a wet old day in Sydney. That won't stop the die-hard fans making their way to Penrith.

to cheer on the Panthers as they tackle North Queensland from four o'clock, even though the game has been robbed of its star power, with most of the Origin players being rested by the respective clubs. The Panthers still heavily favoured to win, given they've claimed the competition points in 14 of their past 16 games here at home. The Cowboys haven't won out here since 2016. In the meantime, the post-mortem continues as the Origin series heads to a decider in Brisbane.

Darren Lockyer is in the paper today backing Billy Slater and the Maroons to rebound from the loss on Wednesday night to New South Wales at the MCG. Billy will join us on the show this afternoon, whereas Blues coach Michael Maguire, he's trying to keep a lid on things because they've been in this position before and they've come away empty-handed.

But Madger's rubbishing claims it's mission impossible to beat the Queenslanders at Suncorp Stadium. Some of the other stories today include Manly rebuilding Tom Trebojevic ahead of his return next week in the centres. Ricky Stewart has joined Wayne Bennett in criticising the standard of refereeing and some of the decisions being made in the bunker.

Stiggy suggested last night they're just guessing. And the clubs are lining up to sign Stefano Yatokamano, including the Dragons, Storm and Raiders, who are all keen on luring the front row away from the West Tigers. In the three games played yesterday, the Warriors stunned Brisbane 32-16. Will Price scored on debut as Newcastle beat Parramatta 34-26.

and Xavier Coates injured his hamstring in Melbourne's 16-6 win over Canberra. Trent Robinson coaches his 300th game today. Shane Flanagan notches up 200. At 2 o'clock, the Dragons hosting the Dolphins at Coggera, and tonight the Roosters up against the West Tigers at Allianz Stadium. You can join us if you like, 131873.

And that text line's up and running as well on 0460 873 873. Let's welcome the continuous call team. Daryl Broman is here, Mark Piggy-Riddell and Neil Breen, who's about to embark on a two-week vacation at the radio programmers' conference that the immortal Bob Fulton once visited for the continuous call team.

given he's the newest member of the team, a bit of a high flyer. We're sending him to Hawaii for a radio programmers conference. In the meantime, though, Darryl Broman is here. Big man, have a very good afternoon to you. Well, Levi, good afternoon to you, Piglet, Greedy and all our listeners. It's great to be back out here at Penrith. Brings back a lot of great memories.

But the noises are getting louder. I read an article yesterday with Wayne Bennett criticising maybe not the referees, but the system. And I think it's justified. Ricky Stewart going off yesterday. Piggy, where did you get those glasses from?

They're different glasses. I haven't noticed that. No, I always wear them for driving, but I'm a little bit tired today, so I kept them on. Okay, carry on. You just stay there. Ricky Stewart being critical yesterday, saying the referees are now guessing when they go for the six agains, and I think there's some truth in that as well. And also Trent Barrett, I see, blowing up at the end of the game with the officiating yesterday. We actually called the Heels-Knights game, and there was a try at a really vital time that was disallowed to Blake Talangi.

late in the game when it was, I don't know who was in front. I can't remember exactly when it was, but it was a seesawing game. And I actually thought it was a try. Gallon thought it was a try. I think Tomo did as well. But they somehow managed to call it a no try, a knock on, which I don't believe it was because I don't think the ball ever left his body. You know, he put it down with his hand and then the ball rolled up his arm, basically up his...

And I thought it was a try, but they disallowed it. Someone was... Was it you telling me, Greeny, about the explanation for it? I mean, come on. I think time has come where people are losing confidence in the officials and the people making the decisions. And I think it won't happen this year, but I think at the end of the year, we should have another conference and just discuss it all because at the moment it's getting...

The noises are just getting louder and louder. You've got to get these... If you've got a bunker, that's what it was brought in for, to get decisions right, and they're not getting them right. Well, I was recently told, Darrell, that the ARL Commission has a proposal in front of them to...

I don't know whether reform is the right way, but to change the way the referees are run. And this is something that I've been banging on about now for a couple of years. And I think there needs to be a complete broom put through the upper echelon of those running the referees. And there's a few of our top referees who aren't as good as they used to be, yet they still get a look in for some of the big games in the competition. Now, look, the first thing I'll say is they've got a very, very difficult job. And without referees, we don't have a game. But

But the frustration in and amongst the refereeing ranks, boys, is that a lot of the New South Wales Cup and Queensland Cup officials are not getting a look in because of the so-called boys club that we currently have in the National Rugby League. So we're losing some of the top referees on the fringe of making it to first grade because the bloke in charge rings them up and says, sorry, I haven't got a position for you.

So they go and earn a living being a teacher or being a plumber or being a sparky or doing something else. So the sooner they put the broom through the upper echelon of the refereeing management, the better. You know, I'd like to have your say on 131873. Just on it. I don't think there's in any other sport that I can think of where the officials are under more pressure than what they are in rugby league. Like I don't watch a lot of AFL, but.

They don't seem to be under any sort of the pressure that the NRL boys are under. Look, it's a tough job. But at the end of the day, my problem is... None of us know what the six agains are for. None of the punters at home have got no idea. You just say, oh, there's a bell six again. What's that for? I'm at a stage now where I don't care. I just say, OK, six again play, let's see what happens. But I'm getting old and, as I said, I don't care. But there's a lot of people who do care about that. And then when they go to the bunker, you know...

They've got to get it right when they go to the bunker. And I reckon on...

Probably four out of five times they do get it right, but I reckon there's times where they just blatantly get it wrong. Well, remember when they brought it in, Daryl, they brought in the bunker to eliminate the howler. Now it's the bunker, the ones that are coming up with the howler. Well, maybe they need a bunker to look at the blank bunker. No more technology. No more technology. Mark Piggy-Riddell, afternoon to you. Yeah, good afternoon, Mark. Good afternoon, Brini, Big Martin, and to our listeners. Yeah, look, it is a frustrating situation, and I actually listened to Sticky's...

and his frustration at those six again calls. And then off the back of that, Wayne Bennett and what he had to say. His was more about the send-off and the sin bins and how there's so much difference of opinion between the different referees. One week it's a 10 in the bin, one week it goes on report, one week it's just a penalty and we don't have that continuity.

At the end of the year, is it the competitions committee? Is that the group that looks at it? They have a look at rules. They look at all the rules and everything like that. I am sure, I have no doubt, that there'll be some changes in the off-season. I'm sick of the six to go. I was never...

Fair enough. But to begin with, I never saw the issue with just giving a penalty. Exactly. Just give a penalty. Well, they're trying to fasten the game up and more action. It's fast enough as it is. You know what it is? It's an easy option for them. What about the goal line dropout? That's a ridiculous rule. They've got to get rid of that. You know, the ball doesn't go 10 metres, so they just give the opposition the ball. I mean, penalise them. Yeah.

This is a strong start from you. Very hard hitting. Well, if you've got the kahunas to do a short kick out and drop out from the line and a dozen go to 10, well, you pay a penalty. Bad luck. I tend to agree with you. You might like to have your say this afternoon, folks. On the way to Neil Breen, or Neil Green, as you call him, Daryl, when you're a journalist with a current affair, it can become quite confrontational. Why?

But you've got to stand your ground when you're chasing a big story for the number one program when it comes to, you know, those sorts of stories. Well, our newsman, Neil Breen, was confronted this week by one of our continuous call team listeners in Sydney's West. Look, I don't think he was very happy to see Breeny. I'm not sure whether it was something he said or maybe where he parked the car. But when I've come across loyal listeners to our show, I've been invited to have

a beer with them, coffee. You know, I'm pretty approachable. I like to consider myself to be one of the people. Unless you're stuffed up at a bakery or something like that. No, that's years and years ago, and it wasn't really a bluff. It was just some constructive criticism, Darryl. And, you know, I think, Darryl, you'd agree, Piggy, as well, that we love nothing more than getting out there and mixing with the community. Well, sadly, that wasn't the case for Neil Breen when he turned up to a listener's place this week. Have a listen.

Well, I'll drop you, I'll spit at you. Neil Breen, what are you doing to the people of Western Sydney?

You left out a few choice ones there. Yeah, there's a few more. You left out the F-bombs and the C-bombs and you left out the, I'm a jailbird, you dog. I'll drop you. I'll throw a chair at you. What did you do to one of our listeners? Well, this all occurred on... It all occurred early last Monday morning. I left the office at 7am and the great John Redman, bravo, he phones me and says, I know you're on the way to another job, but we've got the information about...

There's all this rubbish at this set of Housing Commission flats, and it's on your way. Can you go past and have a look and just assess whether you think it's a story? And, you know, what, rubbish at a block of flats? You know, dime a dozen, no big deal. Until we saw the rubbish when we pulled up in the car, the camo and I and the soundo.

And I said, boys, this is a story. There was that much filth at this block of flats. I've never seen anything like it. And I got out of the car. And by then it was about quarter to eight. And the camo started just filming it and everything. It was all in a public area. And I phoned Bravo, right? And I said, mate, I said, I'm going to turn this into a story. It's a disgrace that anyone...

has to live in and amongst this mess. And then I was talking to him and I said, oh, just hang on a sec, mate. A couple of blokes have come out. I just see what the go is here so I can establish what this rubbish is all about. And I mean it was filth and squalor. It was like a dead set, the tip in the old days when you backed the ute up and pushed it out and drove off. It was like that. Anyway...

Next thing you know, these two blokes come out and I'm going to say, hey, fellas, what's going on? And next thing you know, it was on. They had dogs living in a car. They let the dogs out. And I thought, okay, if these dogs are vicious, I'm actually dead. And then these blokes just went at me. There's two of them and they were charging at me. And in that moment, it's funny when the camera's on, you know, I just stayed calm because the important thing is to get the vision of them going off their brain.

Right? Because I know that's going to lead to a result. We're going to be able to get that rubbish out of there. But they called me every name under the sun. How did you handle it? Oh, I just stayed calm. Did you? I was worried because I didn't have my mic on. I didn't expect there to be trouble. You were worried that you didn't have your mic? Yeah, I was worried.

But the sound, I looked to my right. You can see me on the vision looking to my right to make sure the sound bloke had his boomer. What about the dogs and the bloke about to bell you? Well, the dogs were friendly. They thought it was great. But anyway... They were being locked in a car. Of course they did. Did you say this? I thought I just heard the lead-in saying outside a palatial mansion. No, it wasn't outside a palatial mansion. It was a...

But it was a bunch of flats. Basically at these flats, there's 22 one-bedroom units there, and 18 of them are occupied by elderly women between the age of 68 and like 100 who live alone who've lost their husbands along the way. And these guys have just wrecked it for them all, and I'm wrecking it for them. Well done. Well done. But, you know, people – What did he say? I'm a jailbird, you dog. Yeah, I'm a jailbird, you dog. I've got that one in my phone.

And you and I nearly said... We've got it too. I nearly said, no, Sherlock. Then have a look at you. Have a kink and tell. Look at the dial on you. So where will we see this story? It's on tomorrow night. Oh, beauty. And I'm hoping to have those block of flats after two years of fighting with no one helping them. Wow. And I think the local member, Jihad Dibb,

He's the police minister, isn't he? No, no, he's the emergency services minister. He was supposed to have a meeting with these ladies and he didn't turn up because he was ill and he sent a representative. They did nothing. It's embarrassing. Where's that? It's in Bankstown. Okay. The mayor did nothing. Housing Commission did nothing. And I'm telling you now, something will happen. Well, Brainy, I'd like to welcome into the commentary box the two gentlemen who you confronted. Oh, yeah, yeah. LAUGHTER

Hi, Gordon. This is your life. A special guest. One of us called Gordon. I'm a jailbird, you dog. Oh, that's my bad. But Piggy said to me today, because I showed Piggy an extended video that we can't play on air, and he said to me, I don't know how you do it, but I can tell you 100% honestly, I love helping people, and I

I'm happy to take those blokes on so those ladies can go back and live in peace and quiet. Oh, of course, yeah. Because they've sent me a video of what their place used to look like. Nice garden. They had all sorts of parrots and birds used to come and feed every day, and their life got ruined by just a pair of bums. Yeah, right. Okay, well, tune in tomorrow night to A Current Affair. That's...

We like to start the show and find out how the people's weeks have been. Well, the sound of these greenies had a pretty full-on... Well, you know what I loved about it? Because that happened a quarter to eight on the Monday morning. And then...

Because the incident happened before I had a story, I then had to go back and find, you know, get ladies to interview and do the whole thing. So I said to the boys, let's just go to the nearest Macca's. By three minutes past eight, we were sitting at the Macca's on a Monday morning, and I said, well, we've got an awesome story in the can this week, boys. Happy days. Did you get the $6.95 two burgers? Oh, no. No. I just got a coffee. But the soundo, you'd be proud of him. He's a little guy. Yes.

At 8.03am? Yes. Six nuggets and a medium fries. Oh, best. You love that stuff. There's nothing wrong with that. LAUGHTER

I actually found out there's another great McDonald's special on at the moment. What's that? It's called the Big Breakfast Deal, I think it is. Two McMuffins, two hash browns and two coffees. How much? I think it was $12.95. Oh, that's a deal. You know what you could do? You could take your partner there instead of having the lot yourself. Well, I've got my own coffee shop.

I was on my own, Big Mark. You know what? That's easily doable. No sharing with Carly there. Do you ever get home and have to get rid of the evidence out of the car? Yes. Yeah, me too. I've got about three bags in there at the moment. I've got to do it where I'm at home when I'm trying to sneak a pack of chips into my TV room. We're underway on this Sunday. Anthony, Al, Mitch, stay there for us, guys. If you'd like to have your say, 131873. We'll take a quick break. We come back with plenty more.

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.

Ryan says on the text line, what a start to the show, lads. Well, Ryan, if you thought the start was good, strap yourselves in for what's still to come on the continuous call team. Daryl's in fine form. Brady's in fine form. And Mark Piggy-Riddell, well, he's here. 131873, the number. 2GB.com. 4BC.com. Don't punch me. I'm close enough today. I can give you a little jab to the ribs when I need you. 0460873873. What about McDonald Jones Stadium again last night? Another sellout. 27,000 fans there to watch the Newcastle Knights play.

snap a three-game losing streak against the Parramatta Eels. They did it by 34 points to 26. And joining us from the Newcastle Knights is Jadon Braley. G'day, Jadon. Mate, welcome to the show. We always love chatting to you. Jeez, your fans love their rugby league. They turn out in big numbers time and time again, and you rewarded them with a pretty good win last night.

Yeah, they sure do. And rain, hell or shine, they always turn up for us here at home. And, you know, I think when Bradman was running away with those tries at the back end of the game, like it was a pretty special feeling out in that field. It was electric and it felt like finals footy a little bit. It was a pretty cool atmosphere to be a part of. And yeah, I love playing at home.

Mate, tell us a little bit about Bradman Best. I know he played for the Blues last year, but he looks at the moment to be in, well, red hot for me. I know he's come back from an injury like you have and probably a number of your boys have, but he's come back and his performance last night was simply outstanding.

Yeah, he's outstanding. He more or less won the game for us single-handedly but I think it was pretty the hamstring injury he had a few weeks ago had come at a pretty tricky time around that Origin 1 period and he unfortunately got left out of the team with that but to be fair, he works extremely hard off the field and obviously it's going to be pretty tough to get in there after Latrell's performance the other night and Stephen Crichton in the other centre position but

He's playing such good footy for us week in, week out. I think he's been our best performer consistently all year and brings so much strife for us out on that left edge there. So, yeah, we love Brady on our side.

Hey, Jaden, last night Will Price made his debut. I've got a lot of questions to ask about Will Price. The first is, Jaden, did the boys watch his post-match interview and have you heard about it on the ground? Yeah, I heard about it at the post-match function.

Our media guy was talking about it. But I've seen it on socials floating around, and it doesn't surprise me with Will. He's got no filter, but he's full of energy, and that's what we love about him. He's an absolute classic, mate. It was a classic. It was the English version of the F-bomb with the accent.

With the accent. He did apologise profusely. I know. He just got carried away. He was the apologiator. Oh, yeah, it was the best. But I do want to ask this about him. He seems to be extremely popular, Jadon.

Yeah, he is. The first thing I noticed from when he come to the club was just how much he bought in to the club and his teammates. A lot of guys are really shy when they first come in, but Will's just been himself right from the get-go. And he's really bought into the culture and the atmosphere we try to build here. And, you know, if anyone tosses up in the group chat, you know, who wants to go for coffee always?

or whatever it may be. Will's always the first one. It's like he's got severe FOMO. You can't miss out on anything. There's just a few of them around. He's a classic mate, and we all love him. He's very respectful too. Whenever the senior blokes have a chat with him about his game, he's always very receptive, and he's got a great willingness to learn. I thought he was outstanding for us last night.

Does he ever put his hand into his pocket and shout the boys a coffee, unlike your former captain? No, he's good at that. Well, Paul Gallen's a feature on this program on a Saturday, and the big man and him have a bit of a, well, how would you describe it? An uneasy relationship? I'd say, you know, sometimes you have a love-hate one. Ours is just a hate-hate. Did you find him to be a punish like Darryl does on a Saturday?

Oh, who's that? Gal? Gal. Oh, Gal, yeah. Punish me. He never takes his wallet out. He always has a couple of silver coins in his pocket and he throws them on the table and that's what you get out of him. Hey, mate, where are you at with your future? Are you re-signed with the Knights? Because I heard someone say something yesterday saying you might be on the look-around.

Yeah, oh, no, I'm still at the club for the end of this year and 2025. So I'm still a couple of years up here. I love it up here at Newcastle. And, yeah, just been good back playing, you know, consistent footy. So, yeah, well, boy, I've been here for a couple of years now. And obviously it's been a bit of a tough, tough trot with injury. But, you know, I'm just really enjoying playing consistent footy this year and finding my feet again.

Well, congratulations on the win last night in front of 27,000 people. Put the feet up, mate. I know it's a day off for the players, so we really appreciate you giving us a couple of minutes to have a chat to the Continuous Call team. Good on you, Jadon. Chat soon. All good. Thanks, guys. There he is, Jadon Brayley. Comes from a good family. His old man's a terrific fella. Old Brayles down at the Sharks. He gets around town in his Sharks gear. No, don't say that. Even on Christmas Day. Don't say that. I did a wrong thing by him when he gave me a gobble on text recently. What did he say? No, just...

No, I'm not saying what he said. Go on. He was upset because I said about him walking around in his shark gear. I'm not saying it anymore. He's a wonderful, wonderful man. Well, Blake told me the other day when I ran into him down at the coffee shop that his dad wears his shark's polo to Christmas lunch. Does he wear it to bed? With the bed? No, wear it to bed. Oh, wear it to bed. I'm not sure if he wears it to bed. I don't know. You're not that close. I don't know. I don't ask those questions. Okay, fair enough. Anyway. You should, baby. You should.

He's a good man, Braily. We like him. He just needs to broaden his cupboard wardrobe. You heard it here first. You're a good bloke, Glenn. Well done, Glenn. And don't be cranky. Did he get stuck in here? Oh, very cranky. Very cranky. Got a text almost immediately. Really? Yeah. I think he's got my number. Stand by. I'll send it to him if you like. Stand by.

Well, you've done that to everybody else. I said Phil Friss. I said all your numbers to Phil Friss. What about on Wednesday night down in Melbourne? So Spiro, who works with Ben of a Morning... Oh, another one. He's got some issues. So Phil Friss has got everybody's mobile number because Daryl's given it to him. Phil Friss is one of our dedicated listeners. And, look, he can be punishing.

So Spiro on Wednesday morning and Thursday morning. Oh, look, I've got another message from Phil. I said, mate, I'm glad he's texting you and not me. Good couple. They certainly are. What a match. 131873, the number. Mick's phone through in Brisbane, line number four. G'day, Mick. G'day, you dogs. How you going? That's your old mate from Bankstown. Brilliant. Oh, God. What have you got for us, Mickey boy?

Hey, legends. Just brilliant strong start to the show this morning. Just the howlers from the bunker and the howlers from the referees on field are very quickly ruining the game. Some of these decisions that they make turn the game instantly, whether it's a knock-on, it's a shame that they can't rule on four passes. But do you think that the...

on-field referee should be able to overturn the bunker after looking at the video footage because some of these decisions you can quite clearly see that the bunker's got it wrong. And the other night with the State of Origin refereeing was some of the decisions that were made that you could clearly see that it was a shoulder charge or it was head high or the pass was forward. It's got to change because it's ruining the game. Right.

Mate, I think you actually make a reasonable point. I think they should be in contact with the bunker. And I don't know if they are or they aren't. Does anyone know that? Do they actually speak to the bunker when they're making decisions? I think they probably do. They can communicate. They should be communicating. The bunker...

overrules all. And the argument, I understand the argument, but the argument will be, hang on, the ref is X metres away from a big screen which isn't in high definition and the bunker sitting there with high definition, they're making...

the decisions. But last night's one, you know that one, that Blaise Tonga one you spoke about? Graham Annersley off the record this morning because he has to wait until there's the review. Like, fair dinkum. Like, what do you have to have a committee decide whether he's, you know, rolled his arm up the ball?

They only looked at that once and said, knock on. Yeah, I thought it was a try. I know Gail thought it was a try. Never lost control of the ball. The ball never left his hand. It might have left his hand, but it rolled up his arm. Rolled up his arm. Look, is there a new definition? Well, and it was close enough when he first slammed it down. I mean, it was 50-50 whether he actually touched the line. Which is why I couldn't believe he didn't watch it again.

I just can't. And, mate, again, as I said before, I can't remember what time of the game it was, but it would have been at a vital stage. It was, yeah, yeah. The game was on the line. It was a big decision. And we wait until Monday to get the smother from Bruntman. Yeah, because they haven't had the review. How can you not just look at it? He's also said today that there's no sort of hard and fast rule about it. Well, the bunker bloke made the decision in three seconds. Yeah.

Maybe Ricky was right. Maybe Ricky was right. 131873, the number. Thanks, Mick, for the call. Al's in North Brisbane. Hello, Al. Yeah, g'day, lads. How yous going? Good, mate. Yeah, firstly, Brainy, we miss you up here, mate. Please come back. But moving right along. Thank you, mate. That's a chance for why he's going down here. Savage. Mate, I'm going to give the Billy Slater defence. We're Queenslanders.

I'm hearing you, mate. I'm hearing you. I'm hearing you. But no, my wife and I just come back from Canada, lads, and we watched a few ice hockey games because they had their final on, and we both said just how refreshing it was to watch a game where the refs didn't or hardly interfered in the play of the game. It was, yeah, refreshing, and, yeah, they just let them play ice hockey.

Yeah, and they let them fight too. They just stand there and watch them. No problem. Well, I'm glad you had a good holiday, Al, and thanks for giving us a ring on this Sunday, mate. Let me ask you boys this, when it comes to refereeing and match officials and all that sort of thing.

Do we need to give the referees the profile that they currently have? Do we need to name who the referees are? Do we need referees out there learning players' names in the dressing room prior to a game? Or should it go back to the old days of, number four, get over here, stand there, I'll deal with you in just a second? If the referees want to be respected...

Maybe there shouldn't be this old pally-pally, oh, Jono, come over here and I'll talk to you for a minute. Because a few people have made that comment to me when I've raised some of these issues, and I'm just putting it to you as a discussion point. Well, I think it's easier to call them by name because sometimes they probably don't know the number on their back. But they get them wrong, the name. Oh, no, but I'm... Well, I'm just... I don't think that's neither here nor there. I'm not really fussed about that. I would just like them to get the decisions right. But the reason I raise it is because I've been told, and, you know, I talk to a few of the refs... Yeah, yeah, yeah.

That sometimes they'll be sitting in the dressing room prior to a game, doing what I do prior to calling a game. That's what I don't like. And familiarising myself with players' names. Get out there and referee the game. Now, I thought you were going to say about the tip sheets, which I've heard about. Oh, yeah, yeah, tip sheets, yeah. I hate that. That.

that whole analogy of having tip sheets on players and what they do certain times in the game. I think that's wrong because you go in with a preconceived idea, looking for those certain things about certain players. I think they just go out, should be going out there and just refereeing the game. They reach the national rugby league as referees, right? Through backing their decisions and making the right decisions and doing a bloody good job at it, rising through the ranks. They then get to the NRL. They've got four blokes in their ears. They've got technology. They've got to deal with. And very,

Gone are the days of them using a fill for the game to officiate the game. What do you think? Yeah, we've been talking about that for you. I think what Piggy said is right. You know something that happened yesterday in that game we were calling? We heard what he said. The referee was talking. Jackson Hastings must have said something. And the referee called him over and said, mate, you're a punish or something along those lines.

And I don't think he's... He might have thought it, but I don't think he should have said that to him. You know, and I'm not... I think referees have got the hardest job in the whole of rugby league. They definitely do. It is the hardest job. The referee shouldn't have said it. I don't think a referee should have said that. I just don't think he should say to a player, you're a punter. What about what the players say to the referees and get in their face and win you a carry-on? Well, the referee sends them off.

Oh, you know what? I applaud referees for standing up for themselves. If a player's being a punish or Mitch Moses is in their face, go away, Mitch. You're being a punish. I'm trying to referee the game. Matt Chetchen used to do it. Speak his mind. You go back through the years of Tim Mander, Steve Clark, Bill Harrigan. They were respected for the role they played in the game refereeing. Now the blokes run out there and the players run rings around them. That's my heading. Levy, I know you're an ex-referee, but I'm saying the way he said it, I don't think you should have said it.

In my opinion. I can't exactly remember what he said. It was early in the game and he said something to Hastings and at the time I thought, mate, I think he's out of line by saying that to the referee to him. I mean, I understand referees can stand up for themselves and if they are going to stand up for themselves, if someone says something to you, put them in the bin for 10. You know, do something about it instead of...

grow a backbone some of yous and put them in the bin they don't normally they'll just cop it and move on and i understand your frustration with it but on this occasion i think it was peter goff i think he was wrong in actually saying what he said to jackson hastings i'd like to get a copy of what he said if we've got anyone back in the studio it was quite early in the game we don't have access to what the referees say we don't have the referees mics back backup tapes or anything along those lines but look at the end of the day we've got our call haven't we yeah but

We don't have access to what the referees say. You need a dedicated feed of what the referees say. But what we need to do is get some respect back in the game for the match officials. But at the same time, you want match officials making the right decisions. And the frustrating thing at the moment is... And I'm not going to use the word consistency, but some days you watch replays and they'll give a try...

Other days you watch replays. It's no try. We're at a bit of a loss to explain what the rules are. If we can't do that as commentators of the game who are paid to sit here and give their opinion and watch and call the games, how is Joe Blow that pays their hard-earned money to go along to, you know, Blue Bet Stadium on a Sunday afternoon to watch the Panthers play the Cowboys? So it needs to be addressed by the Commission. It needs to be addressed by the NRL. And let's hope they get it right sooner rather than later. We are the Continuous Call team.

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.

131873 is the number. A couple of people have been in touch, including Matt Thompson, who says, Darrell, the referee said your attitude is ridiculous. So that's what he said last night during the call. Thank you very much, Matty, and to those listeners who have been in touch. Ben says, Brainy, next time you're confronted by people like those blokes, a good way to upset them and get some good footage is just to ask them a simple question. What time do you start work? LAUGHTER

I like it. Thank you. What would we do without Breeney? So entertaining. Cheryl's a big fan of yours, Neil. And, Levi, can you please replay that promo that features Neil Breene on The Current Affair? I don't know whether he said, I'll spit at you or I'll spear you. Can you replay it again? Because either I need hearing aids or, Levi, you need hearing aids. Well, I didn't say it. But, Roger, this is the promo that we played a little earlier on today.

The ex-con. Who moved into a pensioner's paradise. And trashed the place. You're walking and a rat might jump on you. His elderly neighbours living in fear. It's not right for them to be living in a dump like that.

I'll be watching. He said, I'll spit at you. I'll be watching. He said, I'll spit at you because he said it to the cameraman too. Look, the whole thing went for about three minutes. There's a lot there. There's a lot there. But I got called a dog a lot. Wasn't a pensioner's paradise.

Well, it used to be. Okay. I like that. It used to be. Like, it was, they all, all the ladies that I interviewed, and I shielded their identities because I said to them, I said, I don't really want to put you in danger because old mate was threatening to kill me and everything. And he also threatened to kill an 85-year-old resident who lives there.

And so I didn't want to sort of endanger them or anything. But anyway... Shouldn't the police get involved here if he's threatening... Well, one of the ladies is on record saying that, oh, Gordon's threatened to kill me. And they said, oh, lock yourself inside. Then the police didn't come. Now, I think we have to be honest about...

I truly believe, I'm not having a go at the police there, you don't know what the circumstances were happening that day, but I truly believe in Queensland and New South Wales at the moment, we're bogged down with massive bureaucracies. We've got housing commission departments, we've got this department, we've got this council, we've got that, and no one takes responsibility. Like I've done stories for a current affair about people who've bought blocks of land, 154 families, and no one knows who's responsible for actually the developer handing over that land.

Isn't that housing? Oh, no, that's a new department. It could be fair trading. It could be the ACCC. And I just, I truly believe it. Is that throughout Australia? It's throughout Australia. We've just got these massive bureaucracies and you've got these lovely old ladies. One of them has been living there 24 years, another one 20-something years, another one 14 years. They were living there peacefully.

And when push came to shove, no one was there to help them. And it's only when the media get involved and people are critical of the media and the things that we do. And yeah, the media does wrong things a lot of the time, but we also do good things.

Like, if you, as a public servant working in one of those departments, have been there and seen that rubbish and told them to their face, oh, there's processes we need to follow. No, there's no process you need to follow. It was a rubbish tip. Briony, don't give away your story, bro. We want people to watch you tomorrow. Yeah, they'll watch it tomorrow night. Everyone will be watching tomorrow night. I'll be watching. I'll definitely be watching. What time is it on?

It's seven o'clock in the morning. What time is it on? It'll be the lead story. So it should be. It'll be the lead story. Peter Overton and Lofty and Melissa are on until seven and then a current affair. Come on, Darryl, you're one of the stars of the Nine Network. Who's Lofty? Andrew Loftouse, who reads the news in Queensland. Oh, sorry, I don't see it up there.

Brighton's lawyers... He and Melissa Downs, it's a pair. Downsie. Jeez, he's doing well about his contract renewal. Doesn't know what time of current affairs coming on. You're supposed to be a stable star, Daryl. Radio. Judiciary, Brighton's lawyers... I've got the flick from television. ...protecting your future when winning is all that matters. You need Brighton's lawyers on your side. Three charges. Ketone Staggs, a fine. Elliot Whitehead, a fine. And Albert Hoppawattie, a fine.

Injury report, Jack Kijewski left the field in the first half, broken arm for the Broncos. He'll miss up to eight weeks. Fletcher Baker suffered an MCL injury. He'll be out for four to six. For the Knights, Phoenix Crossland left the field for an HIA. He'll have to go through the concussion protocols. The club set to welcome back Dylan Lucas and Leo Thompson, which is good news. Xavier Coates, he limped off late with a hamstring injury. He'll go for scans.

Coach Craig Bellamy said after the game he wasn't too good. Billy Slater said this morning on the footy show that he's expecting Coates to be ruled out of the Origin Decider. And Jordan Martin for the Raiders, the debutant, he suffered a head knock while Adam Mariotta and Jordan Rapina also left the field late in the game for HIAs. That injury update, thanks to Daryl Deepak. I was going to say, I felt sorry for that young bloke, Martin, making his debut. He went out there and he made about three or four tackles and went in with a bit of

Forced, didn't he? And unfortunately, he was probably only on four or five minutes, if that. Copped a knock and had to go off. I felt really sorry for him because he's not a young man, I don't think. I think he's been around for a while and he finally got his opportunity and he was looking pretty good. And then cops a knock and had to go off. It was a shame for him. Yeah, it was a shame for him. He had a big support crew there, didn't he? Oh, he did. It was great. It was fantastic. Very, very good. 131873, the number. We'd better get to a break.

The gates are open here at Blue Bet Stadium. The fans starting to make their way through the gates. The Panthers and the Cowboys is the game you'll hear with us at four o'clock.

Now, Piggy, you claimed of growing up in Sydney's west. You often talk about that, not so much these days, now that you're flying down the south coast of New South Wales. The curtain raiser, by the looks of things, looks like two local schools going head-to-head here at the foot of the mountains. Any idea on who they are? Yeah, I think we've got St Gregory's College, Campbelltown, up against St Dom's.

from out here at Kingswood or Penrith. So the local Catholic school, St Dom's, that's where Nathan Cleary came from, up against St Greg's. Looks about under 13s, we're thinking, which is the same age as my young bloke. I think it's about under 13s. Looks...

They're playing on the full field. How good is this? Because I had a look on the way up. Penrith's lower grades both played yesterday, so I was wondering what that was going to have before. So got a bit of schoolboy footy happening at the moment. Oh, great for them too, Piggy. They'd love this. What a buzz. You know, playing in front of, you know. Amazing. In front at, you know, Penrith Park and whatever. It's a fantastic...

opportunity for them here and I'll love it. Do you know which one's which, mate? Yeah, so the team with the ball now, the dark blue and white, that's St Dom's. St Dom's. And the light blue and you'll probably say maroon is St Greg's. Was Greg Alexander St Greg's? Yes. I think so. I think Langmac was from there too. Yeah. I think there's a rugby league

Big history. I thought they were from Patricia and Brothers Fairfield. Yeah, you could be right. You're wrong, Brady. No, but I remember when I was a kid in Brisbane. A couple of them had to go back. No, no, I'm going to check it out. They didn't all go to Patricia and Brothers Fairfield.

But when I was a kid in Brisbane in the 70s and early 80s, we used to get the schoolboy rugby league from Sydney on television on Saturday morning. Oh, the Cobbleport Bank Cup. We used to watch Ben Elias and the kids at school would talk about Ben Elias and Greg Alexander. We'd watch them play. Well, what a thrill for them. So they're out there at the moment playing the curtain raiser on the full field and there's a few people here to watch them play, which is fantastic. And that's the game we'll call for you this afternoon here at Penrith.

the Panthers and North Queensland Cowboys, but we'll keep an eye on this schoolboys game continuing on at the foot of the mountains. Continuous call team break back with more.

All I wanted in retirement was to feel confident with my money. So I picked an income account with my industry super fund. Now I take enough for day-to-day things, splash out when I fancy, and the rest can grow over time. Stick with your industry super fund in retirement. Visit compareyourretirement.com today.

Footy and fun all season long. You're listening to the Continuous Call team.

Welcome back, Continuous Call team. Great to have you with us on this Sunday afternoon as we do it from the foot of the mountains, planned away at Coggera, where the St. George Illawarra Dragons are up against the Dolphins. Millall, after five minutes of play, Millall to score the Dragons and the Dolphins. We do that for Uber Reserve, and it's Coach Flanagan's 200th game. Later this afternoon, we'll bring you live coverage of the four o'clock clash between Penrith

and North Queensland. And later tonight, score updates coming through on the Roosters and West Tigers. That's fourth against 16th out there at Allianz Stadium. So looking forward to all of that. Billy Slater, the Queensland coach, will join us this hour to preview the game between the Panthers and the North Queensland Cowboys. But on that origin theme, New South Wales setting up a decider in Brisbane.

with their win on Wednesday night. Andrew Johns, the eighth of Malta, was on the footy show earlier today and he spoke about what it would mean to win a decider in Brisbane earlier today on Channel 9. One thing about winning a series and...

You've done it in '94, we've done it in 2005. Winning a series decider is amazing, but for a New South Wales team to go up there at Suncourt in a hostile environment and enemy territory, it doesn't get any better. And this, for New South Wales players, this is where you build your legacy. These games, when you win the series up there, when people don't give you a shot,

This is where players build their legacy. Whether it's a Moses or a Stolatrell or a Payne Haas, you win a series up there and you shoot the lights out. This is where your legacy is built.

Yeah, Andrew John speaking earlier this morning on the Sunday footy show. Andy's been in touch from the Central Coast. Boys, wanted to let you know that I received my continuous call team show bag this week for complete blinds. Thanks again. Looking forward to giving more stats from Andy on the Central Coast. Good on you, Andy. Thank you. Shane at Budrum's having a crack at Daryl after he wasn't too sure at

what time a current affair was on. Uh, Shane at Budger says, I know it's on another station, but does Daryl know, Levy, that the seven 30 reports on a seven 30? Yeah. I don't think he's that silly. No, I knew that. You know what? And, uh, ABC, isn't it? Yeah, that's right. Late night, Brandy and Sterlo are all from Fairfield, Patricia and brothers. Um,

Warren saying that he played against them when he was at Holy Cross College. So some great memories for Warren. That's where I went, Holy Cross College ride. Very good. And Ray Thomas, the great racing rider from the Telegraph, let me know the same information. And Ray used to play 5'8 against Brandy. Oh, come on. Did he really? Yeah, Brady. Well, I don't think he went that fast, but Ray.

Ray was a pretty good sports person. He played a lot of cricket and he's run some marathons. So is Ray the same age as Brandy, which Brandy would be what? Yeah, Ray's turned 60. Okay.

I don't know if he's happy about me saying it on radio, but he's had the same hair since he was 15. Have you seen his hair, Ray Thomas? He would have to be one of the nicest people in Australia. Him and Peter Overton are the two nicest people I think I've ever met. They're the two nicest people in journalism I've met. Absolutely. Peter Overton and Ray Thomas. We were talking about an old mate that scored the try-on debut.

What have you looked at here? Oh, mate, that was a sensational try to St Dom's. Little kick in behind the line, got the bounce on the chases, went through and scored. Beautiful try. 8-0, St Dom's leads St Greg's. Kick to come, eight and a half minutes left in the first half. Will Price, have you got a story to share about Will Price? Freddie, you've been on the phone. No, the Newcastle Knights let us know because we were mentioning him before.

and their media manager, Frank Barrett, said that Will Price sang at the post-match function last night. Right?

On the stage. He's done the Backstreet Boys and then the whole room was singing and all of his family joined in and everyone had a ripping time. But his father would have been a legend. His dad, he's a legend over in England. He was a great player. Leon Price. He was a big tall thing. He was at Bradford originally. I think he may have won a title with Bradford Bulls and then he went over to St. Helens. Did the same over there. Very successful. I actually played with his

which is Will's uncle, Carl Price as well, who was a decent first-grade player over there in the English Super League as well. But clubs need guys like that. You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah. There's good fun, a bit of a party, you know what I mean? Would you say, Piggy, and I know it's a while since you've played, would you say the atmosphere over there playing club football would be different to what it's like here? You're saying over there it's a bit less,

frantic and professional, would you say? In terms of what? In terms of having a good time off the field. Well, off the field, there's only a few little towns that actually know who you are. Like, it's not like here. So you can get away with murders, what are you saying? Yeah, well, like, I played for Wigan, but Wigan are a mad rugby league town. It's like Penrith or Parramatta in Australia. They love their rugby league, so it was different there. But for a lot of the other teams, they're...

Anyone could walk down the street and no one would know you. I find it a little bit...

I'm not upset by it, but a bit surprising that, you know, everyone's shocked that he got up and sang a song at a function afterwards because I reckon that used to happen all the time. All the time. It did happen in the old days. Oh, yes. That's what I'm saying. It wasn't unusual. There was always people like that at clubs. But we should get Piggy to help me out here because I won't be on air for the next two weeks because I am. Hold on. What's going on there? No, I am. Holiday? No, he's speaking.

Ray's sending him to the radio program. I'm not going to the radio. Mate, I'm smothering where you're going. No, you don't have to say. He's about to tell us where you're going. Listen, I'm trying to make out you're doing something important instead of going on holiday in the middle of the footy season. See, this is the problem with you, Levy. Not everything needs to be a smother.

I'm going to go to the management and ask for my two weeks off in the middle of the football season. Because you deserve it. How many hours have you put in the last week? Oh, what about you? Yeah, how many? You used to get two weeks off a year in the footy season. You work three days a week, you bludger. You know why? Quality. It's all about quality, Lee. It'd be nice if you could bring it to the table this weekend. Have a look at the ratings, you waltz. What about your performance yesterday? Pfft.

Terrible. Lift it up a bit. Now, listen. What about you? All you do is whinge about parking at your place you bought, your new restaurant, no parking out the front, how many hours you're working, I've got to fill in for bed for it. Harry, turn him off. No-one says anything. Turn him off. You don't like being out at the ground, do you? You haven't got control. Yeah, I don't like being out at the ground. Harry, turn me on. Mate, the only person whinging about the park

No, the punters are whinging about it. Piggy's whinging about it. He's going to do a story on a current affair. I'm not whinging about anything. I'm working hard, giving my guts for this joint. And it's about time you came with me.

It's not. You're getting well paid for it. I'm just getting scraps. Sit down. Whatever to be the third highest paid person. Well, that's changed. What are you now? I'm probably down to about number four. We weren't talking about me then. Oh, sorry about that. Where are you going? Can we get back to me? Where are you going? Now, I got a performance bonus of two weeks off. Who approved this?

That's a lie. So I'm handing it down. Hang on, hang on. So he didn't come to Magic Round and now he's got two weeks off. Who negotiated your contract? My daughter's studying in Oslo for a year, so we're taking her over there. But I am going with two of my kids to see St Helens play against Wigan in two weeks' time because to go and watch my nephew Moses play. And so we're staying in St Helens for a couple of nights. So I wanted to know from Piggy,

What to expect when I go to Wigan on a Saturday night for them to play St Helens in two weeks' time? You're going to the best game of the year. It's like the Roosters versus the Bunnies. Is it massive? It's huge. And it'll be sold out. It'll be packed. Singing. They'll be singing the whole game. They'll be singing chants against each other. And it'll be a...

Plenty of beers. But it'll be a phenomenal game. Are you getting emotional there, Piggy? No, I was just coughing. I'm a bit sick. I thought you were crying. No, it's phenomenal. And both these teams are both at the top of the ladder. Wigan are top of the ladder. I think St. Ellen's second. They're right up there, yeah. Yeah, so...

It'll be unreal. I'm telling you. It's a totally different atmosphere to, say, what we get here. Yeah, really? It's got that English culture. Yeah, the English, the songs all through. They just stand and sing the whole game. So what you're saying is it'll be one of the best games to go to if you weren't working here in Australia. That's right, yeah. Like, we're all working. I would have loved to have gone. Given our guts, yeah. So who's going to do the news while you're away? Are you on assignment for a country practice? I'll ring in.

Percuttering practice. It's gone Esme. What show are you on? I'm going with Esme. Esme Watson. I love her. She did her a lot. She probably can't. Well, while you were talking about you, do you want me to do your news job for you or do you want to report your breaking news about Xavier Coates? Oh, okay. Here we go. Latest. Xavier Coates officially out of Origin 3 after scans confirmed a low-grade hamstring injury six to eight weeks. Phew.

What it said, low grade. He might not be back until a fortnight before the NRL finals. So there you go. He's gone. Gone. You're gone. What do they do, Queensland? So if Selwyn Cobbo's feeling all right, put him on the wing or you put him in the centres and you maybe put Val out on the wing? Well, you'd think the same. We're speaking to the coach, Sue. I mean, you'd think that would be the obvious choice. What about Gagai? What about Gagai, Piggy?

I'm not bringing up... I'm not giving him anything. What about an opinion? What's an opinion? I think they should keep the same team because you know why? They can't. They can't. They've got to bloke out. They're Queenslanders. They stick solid. They're Queenslanders. Listen to this bloke. I know. That's how he's saying after a couple of weeks. One win. So who would you put in, Darrell? I would have Cobbo in the spot and probably I would play him on the wing. I'd leave Val in the centres because Val is one hell of a player.

Briony, you know when people go away, it's very dangerous going away. Because someone might replace you and do well. People can slide in and do a great job. I've just been sent the roster.

Ooh. For the next couple of weeks while you're away. I hurt my knifing. Mark Gasney will be making his season debut in your place next Sunday. That's formidable. Mm. Formidable. No, he'll do a job. What about J-Moz? Will he be working the phones? Well, J-Moz is doing the following Sunday, so you've got nothing to worry about there.

Who else could we get from, like, current affair type shows? Get Ali Langdon on. She'd be great. Oh, yeah, she'd be great. Does she like rugby league? Yeah, she loves it. Oh, you know who we should get on? Who? I ran into him at Coles at Southgate at Sylvania the other day. Mike Dalton. Oh, yeah, Mike Dalton. He's one of my neighbours. I had no idea. He's a good fella. He is a good fella. He's hilarious, Mike Dalton. Yeah.

So anyway, that's what the roster's looking like. So next Saturday, Boyd Cordner will be back, Mark Gassner on Sunday, Damien Cook will be on Saturday the 13th of July, and Josh Morris the 14th of July.

How did Shane Flanagan get another gig? Saturday the 20th of July, he'll be with us as well to have some fun. What about if I'm... Because normally Ray likes to come off the bench to help the team out if we're one down. Yeah, that's more so. That's more so if I'm not here. What decade are you talking about? That hasn't happened for 20 years, you idiot.

I was just throwing it out there. What about the other night? See if I can get a bite. Levy had to get up early to go to do, you know. He was doing breakfast. Hadley was there. Soon as the game was over, Hadley said, see you later. He wasn't working the next day. Levy had to give his guts. I mean, he's not a team player. What about when I was. What about when I was. That's what Levy told me anyway. What about when I was. Oh. Don't throw me under the bus. Oh.

But what about when I was doing breakfast on 4BC? So you're getting up at 3 o'clock in the morning. Ray would ring me at like 7 at night because he was on 4BC. He would ring me up and he'd just go on a rant about something that's happened or he'd want to tell me about something or whatever. It would always be about 7 o'clock.

And he'd go for about 15 or 20. And then he'd get to the end, right? No, I've got to get up at three to do breakfast. He goes, anyway, son, listen, I've got to go. I've got to get up early to do this show. And he'd hang up. What about me? So I was at the show he used to do at 4.15.

He's not doing that anymore, is he? No, no. He's a boom item I'm about to talk about. Next. Next. You got Hadley the sack in Brisbane. I turned him off. You are. I turned him off. I turned him off. Breaking news. Teammates fighting in-house. Brady the backstabber. You've got the people's champion, the flick. What did old mate say? I'll spit on you, you dog. LAUGHTER

I'll spit at you. I'm a jar bird, you dog. Something happened to me the day that I've been thinking about for quite a while. What's happened now? I've been waiting for it to rain. And I got my wish granted this morning as I was driving out here. It was fairly heavy, actually. I've got a question for all you petrolheads out there. You know when you use your windscreen wipers and they start going...

like cluttering as they're trying to wipe the windscreen. You know, it's not smooth. Need new rubber. What? Need new rubber. Yeah. It's a bit late for that, champion. Your wiper blade. I'm not talking about the 80s now. I'm not convinced it's the rubber. I think it's the windscreen that's dirtier. Because I got new rubbers, two of them, recently. And sometimes they take a while to wear in. Oh, come on, mate.

What are you getting at me for? I'm not getting at you. I'm not a rubber windscreen thing maker. Well, you're making statements about them and I think you're wrong. I don't think rubbers need wearing in on windscreens. On your wipers, I think they do. Of course they do. You think they do? Absolutely. So you're okay for them to go like that when you're trying to put... Well, you've got to make sure you've got enough water on the windscreen as well. They've got to be lubricated, Daryl. It was teeming down. Your rubber's got to be lubricated so it gets across the windscreen okay. What, with water? Yes. Yes.

I'm not sure about that. Sometimes when I'm... Because I've got new rubbers. I got new rubbers last time I got the car serviced, which was only recently, and the rubbers are, well, they're either faulty or they're not good rubbers. Did you get the right ones? What brands are they? Maybe you've got the wrong rubber. What brands are they? Maybe you bought one that's too big. In the 80s, did you ever have a faulty rubber? Not the right size rubber. Beg your pardon? Did you ever have a faulty rubber in the 80s? No!

No, we're not going there. Goodness gracious. I just wanted to know. I don't use them because they keep falling off. LAUGHTER

We're done with you for a break or something. In fact, we are. So what do you want? You want the help from our listeners? I'm saying my windscreen wipers are the pits. Do you get like, are there different grades of windscreen wipers? I think you might have dodgy ones. You've got the cheap ones, mate. So what sort of brand of car have you got? You've got a Hyundai, haven't you? Hyundai, yeah. Hyundai, all right. Well, that wouldn't make much difference, would it? Well, no, some cars have different wiper blades. See, when I had my Jag, you had to take the whole thing off.

Not just the rubber. What happened to you, Jake? Well, I sold it because I've got a commercial agreement with Wollongong City Motors now. Did you get a good price for it? Did it go up in price? My man, Tony Boycheski, down there at Wollongong looked after it for me and sold it. Is that Tony Boycheski? Tony Boycheski. He's from the famous Boycheski family. I thought so. Yeah, he sounds like it. Exactly. All right. Well, if you know anything about cars, ladies and gentlemen, cans. You know anything about cars? Rubbers, cans.

We better take you around the grounds for Uber Reserve. I forgot there's a game on at Cogger. Nil all, Nil all. See, we haven't missed anything. Dragons and Dolphins, Nil all with 18 minutes left in the first half. We do that for Uber Reserve. 131873 is the number. You can email us via the websites and text us as well. 0460 873873. Neil's at Redfern. Hello, Neil.

Hey, love the show, guys. Spigmarn, you wet the windscreen, you get a soft cloth, you put household jiff on the windscreen, rub it in circles, and then hose it off. Works the trick. Okay. You know what? That's what I was thinking. I thought maybe I need to just make the windscreen a bit smoother. No, I was. You know, just to get the windscreen. Yeah, get all that rubbish off the windscreen. So are you saying it's not the rubbers, it's the windscreen that's the problem?

Absolutely. That's different to what I was being told by these experts. Yes. No, they don't know. They don't know. No, you do. Thank you, mate. You know what? Could I put like Windex or something like that? Would that do the job? It would be Jiv. Jiv's slightly abrasive and it gets all that muck off.

Thank you. What have you got on your windscreen? Exactly. You've got to use that. Mate, there's a lot of muck on my windscreen. Well, why? Because I drive to places where most cars wouldn't go. Oh, please. In your car. It's like where I used to put my head in football. He goes where no man dares to go, big man. I'm going to go with Greeny in future on his...

assignments for a current affair. I'd love to see you on an assignment one day. Imagine old mate comes out, you know, I'm a jailbird, you dog. Imagine, big mate. G'day champion. Not only for premiership, we're here. How would you have gone when that jailbird let the dogs out of his, his dogs sleep in his car and he let the dogs out. No, I was thinking to myself, I'm going here. How far did they have to run to get to you? Two metres. Oh, mate.

Well, what would you... Would you have been worried? Yeah, of course I would have been. I would have kicked one if they were coming at me. Yeah. They wouldn't bite you. What were they doing in the... Why is he sleeping in the car when he's got the unit? Because I think there's five people sleeping in the unit. So there's five people in the unit. Yeah, it's not... They're one-bedroom units, aren't they? Yeah.

I don't think that would be unusual. Are you getting the picture of the type of person we're dealing with here? Oh, yeah. Big man, windscreen chatter is about the angle of the wiper arm contacting the windscreen. You can bend the arm or buy replacements in an auto spare parts store from Jason. It's funny the different stuff we get, isn't it? Like we've had two people telling us what to do and they're both different. The angle of the rubber.

But just a little tip, I don't reckon big man's going to an auto spare parts store and buying a replacement and fitting it himself. I'm going to go with old mate and just clean the windscreen. With the Jif. With the Jif. The Jif is the dishwashing liquid. Yeah, but it's the clear, it's the white sort of stuff. It's like a bit abrasive. Oh, is it? It's what you clean your benches down with if it's been a bit dirty. Where did you buy them from, Daryl?

Where I get the car serviced. Oh, so they're reputable ones because there's a couple of people you're saying have gone with the cheap option. Sometimes they're not as good as the good one. No, I never bought them. He did them when he did a service. Who's he? Take it back. I'm not telling you. You'll be there at his doorstep bagging him shortly. With the camera. With the camera. And the sound boom. This bloke sells faulty windscreen wipers. I'm Neil Breen. Who's with me? No, this is what I'll do. I'll sit off him. I'll sit off him until he goes and gets a kebab at lunch.

And when he comes out, I'll just come straight up beside him and go, Neil Breen from A Current Affair, I'm here about your dodgy windscreen wipers. And then I'll let the silence kill him. I think you're overdoing it. I don't know if anybody else has this same issue. What really annoys me with the wiper blades and everything is if you get a lift from someone or you get into an Uber or a taxi,

And you know how you have the options where you have the auto where it just comes on if it senses a bit of rain? Yeah. You can go down to the next one, which just comes on at a certain time. Every now and then, yep. Then you go to slow, fast, and blah, blah, blah. People that have it on the auto or off, and then the rain starts getting all these spots of rain on it, the windscreen, and they don't clear it.

So you're sitting there looking through the windscreen through all these little dots. What do you mean? You're worried about that the wiper hasn't started working while there's rain on the windscreen. That annoys me, Darrell. And I reckon I wouldn't be the only person out there that would have this problem. Well, I've got it the other way. So when I do a lot of driving, I don't like putting it on full ball. He likes to save energy. No, no, no. I don't like putting the wipers on that...

ridiculously fast one because I feel like it takes me out of control. I feel like it's too frantic for me. So I've just got to have it on the nice, calm one that does the wiping. So you've got one of the heaviest things on the roads, a car. You're worried that you're going to lose control because your windscreen wipers aren't all gone. They're going too quick for me. It's like my ADD or something. Your car weighs about 10 tonnes. No, it's a big car.

And you're worried about the windscreen wipers going too quickly. Yeah, I don't like putting the wipers on too quickly. Like, I like timing it with the rain. I actually like mine being on the, like, whenever there's water there, it'll just randomly go and wipe it off. You know, what's that called?

Just the slowest, independent sort of one. Does anyone use their back windscreen wiper? Yeah. I do. I've never used it. I've got a bit of a thing about it. Really? Oh, I just keep pressing it now all the time. You know what I'd like? The windscreen wiper. I would like my windscreen wiper, particularly at the back, to do the whole thing.

Yeah, I like just that little piece. Not just the little half moon one. I'm with you. They're quite pathetic, the back windscreen wipers, aren't they? I think they should be built into the top of the glass and just go straight. Go all the way across. Like all the... I want everything to be clean. Have you seen a windscreen wiper on a bus? That's what I want on the back of the car. One that just goes the whooshka. The whole thing, the whooshka. Mm-hmm.

I love the Wooshka. You're with me? Yeah, I'm with you. Thank you. I don't have a... I'm just thinking... You don't have a Wooshka? I don't have one on the back of mine. Don't you? No. I don't think those dual cab utes have them. Mate, you've probably got them on the windows. Have you got them on the windows on the side? Yours isn't a ute, it's a truck. Well, it's a... It's a tank. But they don't have them because of the...

Glass at the back there. You've got a submachine gun coming out of the roof of your car. LAUGHTER All right, 131873, the number. We're talking windscreen wipers. Are you with, Daryl, in terms of windscreen wipers? Do you use the one on the back window? Or what's the...

term you use, Daryl. They're superfluous to your needs. Yeah, they're superfluous to your needs, some of them. 131873, the number, 0460 873873 and you can email us via the websites where you click onto the feedback icon. Continuous call team here at Penrith. We go back around the grounds. We do that for Uber Reserve and with 11 minutes left in the first half at Coggera, still nil all between the Dragons and the Dolphins.

All I wanted in retirement was to feel confident with my money. So I picked an income account with my industry super fund. Now I take enough for day-to-day things, splash out when I fancy, and the rest can grow over time. Stick with your industry super fund in retirement. Visit compareyourretirement.com today.

Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance. Consider the fund's PDS and whether the product is right for you. Back around the grounds for Uber Reserve. Nine minutes left in the first half at Coggeran. Nil all between St Georgia, Lawara and the Dolphins. I always wonder what our colleagues like to eat in the media because our diet on the continuous call team is shocking. Daryl's got the clinkers in front of him. We've just had some donuts. We've had muffins, chocolate. Burgers. Burgers. It's just ridiculous what we eat.

But I'm just having a look at the shot. Good to see Channel 9's safe. Well, that's where I'm going with it. We're getting a shot through from our colleagues at Channel 9. Danica Mason's got a handful of hot chips. Gus, Phil Gould has got a Coke Zero and a whole bucket of chips in front of him. And then they're also chewing on some shapes. The shapes are open. The barbecue shape. They're a thing out here because we've got about eight packets of shapes in the commentary box.

So to our colleagues at Channel 9, we salute you for the rubbish that you're eating alongside us as well. Speaking of Channel 9 colleagues, Billy Slater's on the line to preview the footy. Hey, Bill. Hey, Mark. How are you? Mate, very well. Have you tucked into any hot chips or shapes yet?

Hot chips for me out at Penrith here this afternoon. It's definitely hot chip weather. Bit of drizzle, bit cool. So a couple of hot chips to go down well. Make sure you get in quick. Danica and Gus, they nearly demolished about two packets of them. But anyway, we move on to the footy. Panthers and North Queensland.

it's been robbed of a bit of star power. The origin players aren't backing up the majority of them anyway. Do the Panthers get the job done or are you sort of thinking maybe an upset in the reckoning for the Cowboys? Yeah, I give the Cowboys a real chance out here this afternoon and I know the Panthers have pretty much been unbeatable out here for the last four years but just with the outs, I just think there's a little bit of quality in the Cowboys that can trouble the Panthers but

It wouldn't surprise me if they just keep rolling and they get the job done again. They're such an impressive organisation and they would have had a great preparation with the younger guys. Yeah, looking forward to seeing some young guys get their opportunity. Now, Billy, what are you made of the Cowboys this season and where they sit? They're sitting just outside that eight. I think they've still got two buys remaining. What are you made of the season?

I reckon they've just snuck under the radar the last probably six weeks. They've won four of their last five games. Really impressive against the Raiders just before the bye. And they're nice and fresh coming into this one. So I think they're working back to their best. They're certainly definitely not at their best just yet. But...

I think once the origin period is over and they get all their quality players back on deck full time, you know, they're working nicely. And, you know, they've had their troubles, you know, throughout the last couple of years. But I think they're just flying under the radar a tad.

Yeah, Billy, it's Neil Breen. This time of year, there's always the same debate, state of origin, the club competition, blah, blah. Origin's going nowhere. It's never going to change. But do you enjoy seeing all the different names and seeing reserve graders, if you like, or young kids getting a go? I certainly like watching it.

Yeah, absolutely. And, you know, some of our stars have got their opportunity through this time of the year. And, you know, when players are out, you know, you get an opportunity to present to some younger guys or some journeymen that have been working really hard. It's...

I don't think there's much debate, to be honest. I think origin works. I think the home-and-away season works. The game, they pay the players well, and that's generated through the home-and-away season, but it's also generated through state of origin. It is what it is. We get to see some young guys on show this afternoon.

How are you feeling, mate, after the origin the other night? I mean, it was a tough night at the office for you in particular, all the boys and probably all the Queensland supporters. How are you feeling now after a couple of days?

I'm getting better day by day, Darrell. Probably like most of us Queenslanders, mate. But, you know, we pick ourselves up off the ground and we go again. And look, I think if it didn't mean as much, it probably wouldn't hurt as much. And, you know, we're all disappointed with not just the result, but, you know, the performance, especially in that first half. So, you know, we'll have a look at that as coaches. You know, and like I said, we'll pick ourselves up and we'll go again, mate.

Just one last one, Bill. Before you go, we just had the news through in the last 10 minutes. It's devastating for Xavier Coates. This hamstring injury is going to see him miss anywhere from six to eight weeks. It's such a shame, not only for him, the Melbourne Storm, but for the Queensland team as well. Yeah, absolutely. I was at Melbourne training at the start of the year in the pre-season and I saw him go down in a session with a hamstring injury. For that to reoccur, I'm not exactly sure if it's the same injury or the same leg, but

but he's a little bit like Tom Trubojevic where he's a rangy sort of athlete and he's just got this tendency to have these issues with his hamstrings. And it's real unfortunate because he's a wonderful guy. He works really hard and he's going to miss a period of footy now. So hopefully he's back before that six to eight weeks and he comes back nice and healthy and fit for the finals.

And Billy, you know we discuss the big issues in rugby league and the big issues in life. Out of interest, do you use your back windscreen wiper because we feel that they're superfluous to our needs? I have used it in the past. You've just got to turn the dial rather than flick it up and down. Not all that often. Like everything in life, I try and look forward rather than look back.

LAUGHTER Great stuff from Billy. Get that one up there, Piggy. That's too good. Good stuff from Billy. Oh, cop that. Cop that, New South Wales. Listen to you, blokes. Goodbye, Billy. See you, fellas. See you, mate. There he is, the great line. Great line from our great leader. What about these three, Piggy? You know they're Queenslanders. LAUGHTER

Didn't know. That's why we don't need back windscreen wipers. We don't look back. That's a good line, Bob. That'll make the news tonight. That is a good line. Oh, dear, oh, dear. We'd better get to a break. Continuous call, team. On the way to the break, we go back around the ground. I've got to co-host the podcast in the morning and ask...

How am I going to go on, me being a New South Walesman, asking Billy all the punters' questions about Queensland and where things went wrong? You'll be right. That'll be right. Well, you're a Blues supporter, aren't you? Yeah. Well, there you are. Just ask him. Get up him. He's the consummate pro. Yeah. He plays a straight bat, though, Billy. I try. Queenslander. Plays a straight bat. Let's put a googly in on him. Just over a few votes. Let's come up with a... You both can't win. We'll work on a real googly that's going to bamboozle him. Yeah, right-o. Thank you, Dave.

Yeah, let's do that. Let's come up with a new googly. I'm going to put Billy off his game.

I'm going to ring Michael McGraw and say, what do you want me to say to Billy in the morning? Just set him up. Why are you putting on that voice? What is that voice? Just set him up with a few lollipops outside off stump and then a big toe-crushing in-swinger. Bang. A mate of mine, I did an interview with a politician this week and a mate of mine who's big into his politics, he said, oh, geez, you're a bit soft on old mate during the week. And I said, mate, you ask a couple of fluffy questions and then you go, bang. He goes, yeah, okay. I thought you could have started stronger though.

Oh, mate, you just worry about unclogging pipes and just let me do the radio thing. Who were you interviewing? He's a plumber. Who were you interviewing? I can't remember. He did a lot of hours this week. Mate.

Mate, every time. Someone from Canberra. Whenever I saw people, you know, if you've had the premier on or the treasurer on or something on your radio show and, you know, I'd see a mate of, geez, you were soft on the treasurer. It's like, oh, my God. You know what I mean? Well, you probably were. Got hammered. What? Did you see that video during the week? No.

that we're going to delve into politics here, but you're talking about politicians making stuff up. So the Queensland Premier's standing there talking about the Environment Minister or something. No, no, no, because the question was, well, where's your Environment Minister? Why are you here answering questions? Well, I don't need my Environment Minister here. I'm quite comfortable asking the questions. The next question was, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I'm going to have to ask the Environment Minister. It was just perfect. He's a dill. LAUGHTER

The Environment Minister? No, the Premier. The Premier. Look, can you stop being politically incorrect? No, no, no, that's politically correct. Have you seen him? I'll join. I don't even know his name. Stephen Miles. Oh, Milesy. Yeah. I'll join him. He's a dill and a dope. Stephen Miles. Anyway, continuous call team. Break back with more.

Now, Brainy. Yes. Obviously, we mentioned Stephen Miles there. I've just had a message from Ryan Baker who says, this is on my own personal Facebook page. Wow. Still managed to give you thoughts on political issues during a rugby league show. Miles isn't a dope. And I said, well, let me go a step further. He's a dope, a dill and a goose. 131873, the number. Happy Sunday. I guess we'll wait and see what happens. Is it October the election?

Yes, it is. It is. And look, you know what? You started me up. I can't stop. Just have a look at the Olympics. Have a look at the Brisbane Olympics. Like, what an embarrassment. What an unmitigated embarrassment. Anyway, I'll leave it at that. I've got breaking news from a friend of mine too. Use white vinegar and water to clean rag. Clean your windscreen. Well, that's what they say. Well, white vinegar does work. You know...

You know when you're cleaning your windows at home? I know we're getting off track here. We should be talking about the Queensland Premier. I thought that's what you meant. You wanted to use the vinegar on it. If you put spray on the window, they reckon if you use a newspaper, that cleans it better than anything, your windows. I find that really hard to believe.

But they reckon that's true. Have you tried that? No, I haven't. Like, you spray the Windex on, for example, and use a newspaper, a bit of newspaper to wipe it off with. They reckon that cleans it more than... better than anything. That's why... That's the way I've always done it. Yeah. You use the newspaper? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Is there any technical reason why that works? 131873, give us a call. It must be the paper.

Do we use the telly or the... What's the other one? Definitely use the telly. No, no, what I do... No, I use the telly. No, I would use the Australian because it's still a broadsheet and you get more paper. You get more paper. The rest are tabloids these days. Although the Sydney Morning Herald's not a tabloid because that has bad connotations. It's a compact.

It's a what? Compact. Mate, just go to the toilet and take it easy. Take a compact. Take a telly with you instead of the Amphibol. If he's got a compact, you might need some of Daryl's Laksits. I love them. We know. They taste like chocolate. Oh, God. Yuck. Here's a food-related question from Greg. Lads, how do we feel about the return of spearmint leaves? Brilliant. That one from Greg. I love them.

Look, I'm going to call it as I see it here. They're probably not good for you. Oh, thanks. Is it all the sugar on the outside? They taste fantastic. I'm happy. Yes, good work, Mr. Allens. I'm saluting you. Are they back? Have I missed something? Yeah, they've just come back.

I can take them or leave them. Like, they're back, I'm not. Alright, here's a question for you, right? So you know the little mixed lollies and all that sort of thing? The old days, you used to have all the mixed lollies along the thing. You get a little white bag and you'd fill them up. I'd always go for, I love the little pineapples. They're my favourite. Oh yeah, yeah. Bananas, I love the bananas. You know what's underrated? I don't think you can call them these anymore, but

Little those little Chico's. Chico's, they're magnificent. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They're outstanding. Queen, that's a Queensland. Chico's. What was your favourite, Big D? Well, I now love the teeth. I think the teeth are beautiful. You know, they've done a hell of a lot. No South Sydney jokes, Piggy. I didn't say that. I do like the teeth. I like the teeth. But you know what? I've got a theory on lollies like that. They mix them all up.

I believe they all taste the same sometimes. All the different types taste the same. They're the same ingredients, but they put them in the shape of a milk bottle. They put one in the shape of a pineapple. They taste the same. No, they don't. You're off your head. You're kidding. I'm not off my head. You've lost the plot. They taste the same? I think...

Some lollies, and I may have given a bad example there, taste the same as other ones, even though they're different shapes. Actually, I will agree with you in the term of what's the one with the white and the red on the top? Is that the strawberries? Strawberries and racing cars taste exactly the same. Like a red frog's the same as a little raspberry, but they're both red.

No, that's got nothing to do with it, you, Wimbo. We're talking about little ones. You'd know a little bit about that. I'm experienced about that. Hello, milk bottle. 131873 is the number. Chico. Chico, roll. Chico.com. 4bc.com.au. Now, Dawn has been in touch. Now, Dawn's been listening. She's been listening to Ray for decades. And us.

Yeah, but she's very loyal to Ray. And she says, Highmark and boys, be very, very careful. Hanging it on Ray will end in tears, and you'll all go down with the ship from dawn in Victoria. Well, that was... Greeny did it. Greeny begged Hadley because... No, no. What did we say? Well, Greeny said he got rid of Hadley from 4BC. Oh, no, I didn't. Turn his mic off. Hmm.

Turn his mic off. I've turned myself off. I didn't hang it on Ray. I was merely telling the story about how when Ray rings you at night, he then, after he talks for 15 minutes, he then says, anyway, son, I've got to go before you get a word in. Did you get the line? Do you want me to tell you about a few of the things he talked about? No. No. We've got to go to a break.

On the way to the break, we do it for... What are we doing? Uber Reserve? I don't want to get in trouble. It'll be our last ever show, but it's usually going to be a good one. Listen, he might be in the twilight of his career, but I've got a mortgage to pay and I need a job. 6-2, Dolphins leading the Dragons. You can take his job at 4BC. No, well, mate, what's his name? Bill McDonald. Billy McDonald. Did Bill knife Hadley? Is that what you're saying? No!

Turn his mic off. Turn Levy off. Well, who knifed Hadley? Nobody. You started it. 6-2. Dolphins lift the car. It's on a car affair tomorrow night at 7 o'clock. Yeah, you dog. I'm a galbird, you dog. The promo is, who knifed Hadley?

Who in Brisbane hates Hadley? He's just a line-up. Who knifed Hadley? Hi, I'm a Rob Obershot. Jeremy Marshall King won't return for the Dolphins due to a foot injury. That's the news coming through for DP. 6-2 Dolphins lead Dragons. Break back with more.

Half-time at Coggera. 6-2, the Dolphins lead the Dragons. And was it full-time? Yeah. In the under-13s schoolboys games. St Dom's has beaten St Greg's by 16 points to 8. And Brini was not happy with something you saw from one of the kids downstairs getting stuck into the opposition. Name and shame them, Brini. Oh, it was one of the kids from the winning team.

Might have had a bit of a word to say to the kids from the losing team. But anyway, I won't. Will you track him down for Tuesday night's show? I'm going to bounce him in the tub. I'm going to go out. Who did you have there? The soundo? Yeah, the soundo and the camo. Camo. Yeah.

Sturlow. Ben and Rattle were my team. Now, in this relay race, Piggy, I've been trying to tell you who I'm picking. I'm picking the manly colours there. Okay. Well, I'm going the Broncos. I want to go the Broncos. That's my old club, I think. That's the Global Park.

Brumby's. No, the closest to the... Oh, closest to the post? I'll have the one closest to us. What team's that? Yeah, Darrell, I think you're right. I don't know who that is. West Tigers type of set-up. I'm with Darrell. They've got a Lockie Galvin look-alike there at the back. Shane in Budrum says, whoever wants to knife Ray next, just ask Salty what type he used on him. He's still around. LAUGHTER

Oh, that's right. Salty got his Channel 9 gig, didn't he? Oh, did he? He did. I forgot about that. Little Salty. How did that happen? By the way, what about Salty posting videos of his hotel room? Oh, I know. I saw that. I'm anti it. What about he wouldn't want to do it if he was standing in the nude and there was like a mirror behind him. Yeah, a mirror behind him. This is what cousin it looks like. Jeez, look at that furry rug on the floor. Oh, no, it's just Salty lying down. What was his hotel room like?

It's just like every other hotel room. It was free. That's what it was like. Everyone gets on social media and they show you their hotel rooms. I'm like, who cares? They all look the same pretty much. Unless you've got a penthouse or a mansion. Well, they're getting it for nothing. Of course they're showing them on social media. When do you go to Brisbane? Why don't you do it? No. See what sort of response you get. Oh, no.

I probably will be in the nude. No, you're barred from social media. I'm barred. I'm not allowed. You're not allowed. You like to give it to certain journalists and we don't need the grief. 131873, the number, 2gb.com or bc.com.au. Click onto the feedback icon. What did you say? G'day, Buzz. I'll campaign you.

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.

Now, back to the best team in the business, the Continuous Call team.

Yeah, Trusher, enjoying your Sunday afternoon with us. We're certainly enjoying being with you on a miserable day in Sydney town. Quite gloomy, quite chilly, but not a bad crowd building, including those who braved the elements on the hill at the northern end of the ground or the paceway into the ground.

as we get ready for the Panthers and the North Queensland Cowboys. Look, there's a stack of changes for Penrith, so it's probably easier if I just read the team out for you. So I'll do that for you in just a second. Maverick Guy is the 18th man for the Cowboys. Todd Payton's opted to rest all of his origin stars. None of them were named in the original 17, so they will line up as per the program. Thomas Duffy is the 18th man. So that's how it stands at the moment.

As far as the team itself is concerned, Dane Laurie is the fullback. The wingers, Sunia Taruva and Casey McLean. McLean will wear jumper number 21. Isaac Tungor and Paul Alamotti are in the centres. The 5'8 is Jack Cole. Brad Schneider is the halfback wearing jumper number 18.

The Lockford Matt Eisenhuth in 17. Scott Sorensen and Liam Henry are the second rowers in 11 and 16. The front row of Moses, Leota and James Fisher-Harris. Mitch Kenny's the hooker. And then the bench reads Isaiah Yeo, Lindsay Smith, Luron Patea.

and Trent Talao. So there you are. Patea will wear 20 and Talao will wear 23. So it doesn't resemble the team that they named during the week. But the coach is entitled to rest his origin players, which is what they've done this afternoon. Now, playback underway at Cograpp.

The second half, that is. We do it for Uber Reserve. 6-2, no change. The Dolphins leading the Dragons. Five minutes gone. 6-2, Dolphins lead the Dragons. That's into the second half for Uber Reserve. And later tonight, you've got the game between the Roosters and the West Tigers. Three games yesterday. The Storm over the Raiders, 16-6. The Knights beat Parramatta, 34-26. And the Warriors, too strong for the Broncos, 32 points to 16. We've touched on...

The drama involving the referees or criticism of the referees in the bunker. This is what Ricky Stewart had to say about the officialdom in that game last night at Amy Park. We were just on the wrong side of the guessing game again. They're just guessing, mate. You know, those six against. They just guess. I'll give one away here, I'll give one away there.

I love Rick. I reckon he's right. 100%. I reckon he's right. And I reckon most punters agree with him. And Trent Baradie also mentioned a couple of controversial calls in the Eels' loss to the Knights. Yeah, and you've got to be careful too. It works both ways and sometimes you get them, sometimes you don't. But it seems at the moment we are on the...

on the wrong side of a few. And we just needed a few of them to go our way there, the Micah one. We had a few there with Blaze. Yeah, so they were hard. And it's hard on the players because we're running out of players. We've got a lot of injuries at the moment as well. And we've got players playing out of position. Blaze is doing a great job for us in difficult circumstances. And we know he's not a winger. But it's hard on a few individuals at the moment.

Yeah, Trent Barrett speaking after the loss to Newcastle last night. Now, the Dragons have scored through Raymond Fytel and Mariner, so with a kick to come, we're all locked up at six all. Six minutes gone in the second half, six all to score the Dragons and the Dolphins. And, boys, before we go any further, I want to congratulate our man Harry.

Our trusty technician and engineer, the general manager of our outside broadcasts. What's happened? Because he's popped the champagne corks, metaphorically, he's a non-drinker, by going to Krispy Kreme Donuts and delivering the continuous call team donuts because... He's a good guy. India's won the T20 World Cup. Yeah, well done, mate. Well done, mate. Very happy.

He's had no sleep. He's been up watching the cricket. He got emotional last night. Did you? Yeah, with the cricket. Did you cry? He did. He cried. So did South Africa win that 30 to win off 30 ball. LAUGHTER

He's going back to South Africa or something. Yeah, the little something. He's on the park. I don't think his missus knows about it. He said to me on Wednesday when we went out for dinner in Melbourne, he said, I've got him going for a fortune on the weekend. LAUGHTER

Well done, Harry. They're at Kylie, top scorer. He's a great guy. Same game, multi. Oh, those points better be. How good are they? Well done, Harry, and well done to the Indian cricket team. Obviously a huge celebration for India and the Indian population here in Australia as well. 131873 is the number to ring if you'd like to join in. Piggy, you've got something you'd like to raise with the continuous call. Yeah, and

I was driving the other day and I thought it was worth a mention on here. I was driving past a van and it got me thinking because it had a really good business name.

Now, this business was called Well Hung. It wasn't If I'm a Rockin', Don't Bother Knockin'. No, it was called Well Hung Picture Frames and Hanging Pictures sort of business. So it was a band as Well Hung. I thought... I had a little chuckle to myself and I thought...

Jeez, that's a good business name. Like, you know, like it gets people's attention. Everyone has a laugh. Yeah. You know, da-da-da. So off the back of that, I thought, what other, or if our listeners can get involved on 131873, some great business names that have been, that they've seen out there that... I've seen one around my way. What have you got? Blind Man Driving. LAUGHTER

They make blinds. I had to ask. I was wondering what they did. I'm sure I've seen it down there. Blind man driving. Yeah, I think that's what it says. Something along those lines. Which gives the indication that blokes drive in KC. But they're a blind company. Very good. Very, very good. All right. Well, such is the... This will give Brainy some stuff for a cup of beer too.

Such as the stuff that you've brought up. I'm going to encourage our listeners to ring through. Yes. And the best company name they've seen on the roads, we're going to send them either a jersey or a show bag. Sounds good. Have we got one, Andrew? Like a show bag or a jersey we can send them? Jersey? Righto, we'll send you a signed jersey. Oh, how good. All right, 131873. Queensland jersey. No one of our signed jerseys with our 2GB ones on the front of it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So what...

Smart businesses, if you've seen out there, well-named businesses. 131873, the number. So it was a picture-framed company called Well Hung. Oh, I was driving. Mate, I couldn't stop laughing to myself. I was like, that's very, very good. Well Hung. Picture-framing or picture...

display specialist. Picture hanging. That's clever. Have you seen any in your travels, Brady? I'm trying to think of one now. I'll have to put the thinking cap on. Dom mentioned one earlier and he always says he sees the trucks and they've got

A-N-L on them. And it's for Australian Native Air Landscapes. Right. What are you pointing out, Ben? The A-N-L. What do you mean? The word. Landscapes, yeah. The A-N-L. What is it? Landscapes? A-N-L. Oh! Right. Took you a little while. You nearly got there. It took you a little while there, Levy.

Well, I'm thinking to myself, A&L, what's wrong with that? Oh, you're talking about the blurt? Yeah. It's not supposed to. So we're coming up with world... We're doing a segment on world-name businesses, and we've got well hung in A&L. LAUGHTER

Is that it? That's the standard that we set here. Okay, as long as I know what cesspool I'm playing in. Why do you think he's moved to Shell Harbour? Exactly. Look at the board, it's lit up.

I know our listeners. There's some sick puppies out there. Oh, well, here you go. There's a builder around Edelong, according to Brian. Trendy erections. LAUGHTER

Oh, it used to be trendy for Darryl in the old days, too. Well, you know what? My mate Lou Zavanavich, that was his original company called Alpine Erection. To do scaffolding. Very Scandinavian, was it? In the old days. I don't know if he was Scandinavian or what he was. Certainly wasn't Aussie. Hi, boys. Ian from Dungog here. There was a hairdresser in Cessnock, New South Wales, called Curl Up and Dive at DYE. Curl Up and DYE. Thank you. Um...

I'm just trying to pre-read them as they come through. Pre-read them, please. Yeah, Infrastructure Steel Company. The name is Make You Erect from Chris Inouye. Thank you. There was a dog styling business here at Bondi Way and it was called Doggy Style from Paul. LAUGHTER

What have you done? What have you done? Piggy, this is disgraceful. What have you done? Piggy's shot. G'day, Matthew. It's the most... I didn't think it'd go down this angle. Levy, listen to me. It's the most alive he's been all day. After that family function last night. I don't know what happened to him. Well, I can mention this one because it actually advertised on the radio network, big-ass fans. Big-ass fans, yes. Yeah. They're good fans. They are.

Oh, dear. Oh, no. Yeah, don't read them out. I can see that. I reckon the borderline ones are all right. Do it, Levy. Do it. Don't read this one out. Matt, are you available in the next couple of weeks? I don't think I'm going to have a job after reading some of these ones out. My uncle Hector was a builder. His name was Hector the Erector. LAUGHTER

Oh, God. That's pretty good. That is great. He's great. Oh, didn't it? Wasn't that a movie about a murderer? Oh, dear, oh, dear. Did you see it? I want to see it. The director. I'm just having a look. He slaughtered everyone. I came across an electrician called Electricity Bill from Anna. That's not bad. Electricity Bill's pretty good. Thank you. Sorry, Daryl, what were you going to say? I can't remember. That's all right, I can't remember.

Let's go with some calls here. Sue's first up in Coffs Harbour. Hello, Sue.

Yeah, hi, guys. Love the show. I had a hairdressing salon many years ago called Short and Curly. You should have kept it at this day and age. Did you do Brazilians there? We're going to get taken off here. So was it a profitable business? It was very, very. It was an attractive time to do odd phone calls.

Yes. Thank you, Sue. Well done. You could have changed the prices. You would have had them by the shortened. Oh, no. That's a great name. Michael at Sylvania. I've seen a crane company. The logo was, we get it up for you. You send me the number.

They had a playboy in the glove box at that crate. Hi, gents. We have a dry cleaning business called Drop Your Pants Dry Cleaning. From Sherry and Ed Long. Love the show. Glenn's next at Balgala. Hello, Glenn. G'day, boys. How you going? You guys pick me up. I've got a clean one for you.

No. See you later, mate. No good. In our business, a royal flush is better than a full house.

That's a good one. That's a clever one. Good on you, Glenn. Thank you. James, or Rob says, there's a septic truck that gets around near me, boys, and it says as its slogan, we're number one at moving number two. That is clever. That's clever. That's very good. Another plumber, Brisbane-based, Dunny's Plumbing. Thank you. Yeah.

Oh, Jesus. Just pre-read them, Levy. There's a few here that are a little naughty. Andrew's at Maroobra. Hello, Andrew. Yeah, hey, guys. Look, we've an Indian takeaway restaurant, a local Western, that's called Get It India. Oh! Sowie! Sowie's got another business. You from India? Well, get that India. The real sow-wow. Get It India. Thank you, Andrew. Appreciate it. Max is at Cronulla. Hello, Max.

I go, yeah, there's a driving school in the Sutherland Shire called I Want to Pee. I Want to Pee. These are very clever. Piggy, you're on fire. I didn't know it was going to go like this. This is one of the best ones we've done for a long, long time. Best topic of all time, Pig. Doug's at Strathfield. Hello, Doug.

G'day, Mark. Look, I've seen this mobile dog grooming business. The motto on the back of the truck was, dirty dogs, dumb dirt cheap. Very good. Very good, Doug. Look, I'm a little concerned. I've just had a text message from our national content manager. Greg Burns is listening. We're in trouble. He said, be careful, buddy. We need you on breakfast tomorrow, not suspension. LAUGHTER

Now I'm nervous. 131873. Actually, let's get it suspended. I'll do breakfast. Oh, so you've got... I'll get that out. Hang on. Knife him for me, Piggy. This is who we're working with, Daryl. He's knifed Hadley. Now he's knifing me. You're a scumbag. I did have a knife, Hadley. You're like the blokes you get on television at 6.30 or whatever time you're on television. Seven. Seven o'clock. You, current affair. Like the bloke. I'm a breakfast-taster, dog. LAUGHTER

I'll replace you, you dog. For those people that are listening, we're not actually calling each other dog. Um, at the start of the program, we played a current affair promo that, uh, features Neil Breen and he was referred to as a dog this week. What did he say? I'm a jailbird, you dog. I'm a jailbird, you dog. Um,

I'll kill you. I'll spit on you. I'll throw this chair at you. I'll have you. What else can you say to threaten a bloke? And that was the nicest response you had all week, wasn't it? Yeah, I know. You had your wife handling it. Most people this week hated me, but that guy, he was all right. It's funny. I had a text message earlier from somebody who said, G'day, Levy. I'm the bloke on the Current Affair promo. Can I have a continuous call team show back? We'd better get to a break. We'll come back with more.

All I wanted in retirement was to feel confident with my money. So I picked an income account with my industry super fund. Now I take enough for day-to-day things, splash out when I fancy, and the rest can grow over time. Stick with your industry super fund in retirement. Visit compareyourretirement.com today.

Continuous call team 131873, the number 2GB.com. Click onto the feedback icon or 4BC.com.au. We'll get to George Rose in just a moment. I've had the chance to pre-read a few of the text messages that have come through. I recently came back from the United States and saw a competitor to U-Haul called U-Pullet from Pat.

Greg says, hi, lads. Doesn't Piggy have a few OCD issues with his car? Aircon can't be on half but full degrees. We might talk about that a little bit later on. Thank you. Brainy would like this one. It's a cleaning company in Cooranbong called Spruce Springsteen. I like that. Spruce Spring Clean from Shane at Budrum. Spruce Spring Clean. That's not bad. That's good. There's one here from Rick that says, heard of a nail salon called Finger Looking Good. LAUGHTER

In the meantime, we better do this. Now it's time for Pointsbet's new NRL experience. What's gambling really costing you? For free and confidential support, visit gamblinghelponline.org.au. George Rose is our man from Pointsbet and he's on the line. Hello, George. G'day, boys. How are we?

It's very well out here at the foot of the mountains. It's a wet day in Sydney town. So a nice day to be sitting on the lounge, watching some footy, listening to the continuous call team. We've got the Panthers at $1.25, but the only origin player backing up is Isaiah Yeo. The Cowboys at $4. What are your thoughts on this game this afternoon?

Look, mate, I reckon it's an absolute worry. For what I had planned for my same-game multi, I got it on early, and there seems to be not a lot of points being scored during this round. And even for the returning Origin players, I was pretty confident about the Panthers getting it done in this game, but I just don't know. I mean, Panthers at home, they should get it done.

Well, the Cowboys are coming in conceding an average of 25 points a game. The Cowboys have rested their origin stars. We know that as well. And the Panthers, they just keep turning over, sitting second on the ladder with Nathan only making five appearances, Cleary, that is, through the first 16 rounds. What they usually do is suffocate teams with their high completion rates and structured defence. We know that. What about your same game multi, George? How are you playing it this afternoon?

Well, my same game multi is I've got the Panthers head-to-head. I've gone total match points over 46.5, and I've gone to Ruva to score at least two tries. I wanted to say a double this round. I reckon Ruva's my guy to get it done.

All right, well, Panthers head-to-head, Teruva 2-plus, Dryson, total match points over 46.5, $7.52 with our mates at Pointsbet. George, good luck with your multi, good luck this afternoon with whatever you're doing, mate, and we'll catch up again next weekend on the Continuous Call team. Thanks, boys. Enjoy the footy out there. I'm tucking into some curried sausages at the moment. Have a good one.

Oh, how nice. I love a curried sausage. Good on you. Thank you very much, George. How many do you reckon George would get through? Oh, 10. Minimum. Minimum, wouldn't he? And he'd have a big loaf of fresh bread and just whack them on there. Underrated food of all time, sausages. I love sausages. Curried sausages? Oh, I'm happy with curried. I just like them barbecued. Was it you that was telling me you used to eat them raw? No. Someone I know eats raw sausages. Really? Who does that? Well, get them from the butcher. Do you eat them as raw? No.

Oh, Dom. Dom's backed up in the background. Loves them. Raw sausage. No, thanks. You know, if you like sausages, do you like just beef ones or do you like the different flavours? No, I'm just happy with the ones you get at Carl's or Woolies. Yeah, you don't need different flavours or anything. Your skinny ones are the go. They remind me of myself. Oh, my God. A thick one. Daryl, the bosses are listening. Be very careful. Contract time. Hello. No, I was right. Find somewhere else.

Where are you going to go? I don't know. ABC, I'm going to do. They just need to enjoy this humour. I'll tell them. Mate, you'll get cancelled over at the ABC. You can't say that's the stuff you say on the ABC. Yeah, you'd be gone. That's their loss. Mate, you've got to talk rugby league on there. Boring. Nah, we'll see what happens. You're fun, you're entertaining. Yeah, I am, you're right. You don't bring football to the table, you bring entertainment. Burnsy's listening, isn't he? Burnsy? Yeah.

Yeah, Burnsy. Yes. Yes, he said. Remember him? Content manager or whatever he is. But not Burnsy from Warrington. Oh, no. Hello, Two Bites. Hello, Big Man. Hello, Levy. Well, then they'd both be listening. Hello, Greedy. And they're probably related. Actually, we've got to get Greg Burns, our boss, to come in and make some donuts for us because the donuts out here at Penrith are very good, the cinnamon donuts. Does he make them? He makes his own donut. He's got a donut making machine. It's a donut puncher.

No. He makes donuts. There's nothing wrong with that. I did suggest that, that Greg Burns, our big boss, has become the new donut puncher, but I don't think he was too happy about that. I wouldn't have been either. Why not? You know what Levy's doing? How much? No, he's sick of working seven days a week. He wants off air tomorrow.

That's why he's a rest. He's sabotaging himself. And he's going to take over. And he wants on by the sound of things. Hang on, I'm just stretching my hammock as we speak. I'll tell you what. Setting the alarm. There's two very ambitious people on this program. Bruny wants breakfast and he wants the New South Wales Women's Origins job.

I mean, I can't get everybody jobs. You know, I'm just here licking the dates off a calendar. I think Sowery would take the breakfast job if it was off. What job do you want, Piggy? No, I'm good. I'm good doing what I'm doing now. It'd be good if Piggy had a job. Give him something to do. Excuse me. Well, he does a lot of driving. Very busy. Very busy. I do like your glasses too, though. Thank you, Big Man. Have you not worn them before?

No, well, I do wear them on Friday nights, but I don't see you on Friday nights. Why do you wear them Friday nights? Because I'm usually up here and I can't see down on the footy field at night time. He can't see long distances. He can see short. I can see, I can read everything, I'm fine, but I can't, everything's a blur. If I went down on the field, would you look at me and say, geez, you've lost some weight? Would that be possible? Thank you very much. That won't be happening.

You won't be going down there either, will you? You go down there and look up here and say the same thing. It makes it easier. I don't have to move then. I don't know where this has come from, but I've just got a message on my phone. Yeah, please tell them. Well, I'll give them a rap. It's a business. Advanced Polished Concrete. They've just sent me a message. Two of the best business names I've seen, boys. Schindler's Lifts. LAUGHTER And Viagra Scaffolding. LAUGHTER

Thank you very much. We'd better take a break. We'll come back with more from the continuous call team as we do it here at the foot of the Blue Mountains. 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.

Jason makes a very good point. Actually, before we read Jason's text message out, let's get you a score at Coggera because Piggies Dragons are in action. Oh, ho, ho, ho!

They've kicked out to a 20 points to six lead, if you don't mind. Happy days. So what's that in the space? Does that put them in the eight? Close to it. Yeah, now. In the space of about 12 minutes, they've scored four tries. Raymond Faital-Amarin, a Christian Tuipulotu, Tyrell Sloan, Jack DeBellin. Kyle Flanagan's only kicked two from four at this stage. But it's 20 points to six. 20 points to six. Dragons leading the Dolphins with 15 to play in the second half. We do that for Uber Reserve. And speaking of Uber Reserve, it's a good time to reserve your...

Well, no, it's not. Oh, yeah, I suppose you can get it tonight's game. The Roosters are playing, aren't they? With Uber Reserve. Reserve now ride later with Uber Reserve, and it's wonderful to have them on board with a continuous call time. They'll jump into about seventh or eighth if they win this, the Dragons. Yeah, great. That's very nice for them. Very nice. Well done. Yeah, Jason makes a good point. He says, Mark, geez, you're worried about working and getting suspended. You've just called your contract manager a donut puncher. I'm killing myself laughing from Jason. Yeah.

So just on his doughnut. He's all right, Burnsy. Has he got like a really good one or is it one of those cheap ones? No, he's got the proper machine and he does it every Christmas. So at Christmastime, he brings it in and he makes fresh doughnuts and they are dead set like you're at the shopping centre near the Dunkin' Donuts stand. They're outstanding. So he only uses them at Christmas?

He's got this magnificent machine. But he's got it at home. He brings it in as a treat for the staff. He's not carting it into work every day. No. But they are proper, proper donuts, the cinnamon ones. What oil do you use to cook them in? Do you know, Bernie? No.

I don't know. We'll have to get Burnsy to text in. He might use Superfry like 70. So how many uses would you get of Superfry? I reckon you'd get a few uses out of it. But in the old days, you could use Superfry heaps of times. Yeah, I love Superfry. It's a really good oil. Can you still buy it? Yeah, of course you can. Just look on Superfry in Google it and see what happens. LAUGHTER

What about me? I Google ridiculous things. The IT department at work must look at my Googling and just go, what the hell is this bloke on? He's single. Well, I've just Googled, what are your deep fried donuts in? So it's come up, peanut oil or vegetable shortening yield. Oh, okay.

Vegetable shortening yield? What does that mean, oil? Peanut oil or vegetable oil. So there you are. I wonder if they taste different from, you know, cooking them in different oils. Oh, they would. It says crispy. You get the crispest. I don't want mine crisp. I want mine soft. Edges. No, I like the crispy edges. Yeah, I like the crispy edges. I used to live with somebody that used to cook everything in coconut oil.

Oh, really? A lot of people do that. Isn't it supposed to be healthy, coconut oil? She claimed to be the healthiest person in the world. She'd have the coconut oil and the eggs and everything for breakfast, and then she'd come home after a big night on a drink with eight cheeseburgers. I'm like, hello? I'm just going to say eight blokes. LAUGHTER Yeah, right? LAUGHTER

Oh, wow. How long is that for you? That'll keep you fit. Hey, cut it out, would you? 131873, the number, 2GB.com. Click onto the feedback icon. Mark, what about Big Man and Buzz on Sky Sports Radio? That might be an option for him from James at Concord. You won't hear much. Make for good radio. And Aaron says, if I'm Ali Langdon, I would be very nervous as Brini. Couldn't I have heard a host of Current Affair? LAUGHTER

It's a jab. He doesn't knife anyone. Well, considering Ali Langdon's just been nominated for a silver logie, I think my chances of knifing her as host of a current affair are rather small. You've got to aim high, mate. Okay, I'll knife her. What about the boys from the Cowboys who've got the choo-choo train out? Talk about a good time.

But it's always those two. They're always doing that. Tamalolo can read his mind now. He says, when's it my turn to be in power? Now, he's turning around. This is the way you do it. It's always Tamalolo and Jordan McLean. Look at Jordan. He's got no interest at the back. He's just lifelong. Harvey Norman. You've got it wrong. He wasn't saying that. He was going...

So what it is, they've got a band around their waists and one of them is sort of, what, jogging in front. Yeah, getting their arm, leg movements going. And who have you been messaging downstairs or ringing? No, I just text my mate, Glenn Hall. He's now the...

football manager for the Cowboys. Was he in the suit? He was in the suit, yeah. Is it any like Jimmy Maloney? No, he doesn't know. Jimmy Maloney's out there in the blue shirt. He's still there, Jimmy Maloney. He's the assistant coach. No, he was the pathways manager. I think he still is, but he's also now the football manager. Looks like he's given Maloney all his hair. LAUGHTER

Maloney, he's got that man bun now. What's going on there? Oh, no idea. Greg Burns has just come back to me. G'day, Burnsy. Canola oil is the best, boys. Oh, okay. Canola oil. Canola oil. Okay. Canola. Well, maybe. Maybe. I want a ticket to Bermuda, Bahama. Come on, pretty mama. Key Largo, Montego. Sorry. So, mate, I reckon I want some donuts. Yes.

Nice and warm with lots of sugar. Is there a chance that Harry or Andrew could go and buy some donuts? Is anyone... You know when they roll them? He's already bought them. You can't have more donuts. Harry already got the one. You were eating them. Well, no disrespect to Krispy Kremes, but I prefer the warm ones. You know when you roll them in the cinnamon...

You know what I'd like to do? You don't roll them in cinnamon. You just drop it in and then you flick it over. That gives it the taste, right? You know what I want to do? I just want to eat a teaspoon of cinnamon. Makes the medicine go down, the medicine go down. Don't they say that you can't do that? But isn't it cinnamon and sugar? Isn't it a mixture of cinnamon and sugar? But I think what we should do is we should get Burnsy...

He should cook it for the continuous call team one time. Did you just suggest the cinnamon guys? It's the medicine guys. I just want a spoonful of cinnamon. Makes the medicine go down. The medicine go down. Oh, my God.

We've got to go to a... Hang on, he maybe starts singing and then he turned his mic off. Listen, you're a hard-hitting journalist on A Current Affair. You're going to turn up to these people that call you every name under the sun and they'll start singing your songs. Man, next time I get called a dog by a dog bird, I'm going to go, oh, yeah?

A teaspoon of cinnamon makes the medicine go down. And then he'll turn to his mate and go, that guy's crazy. Better leave him alone. He'll pull out a submachine gun and go, see ya. Continuous call team, 24-6. Dragons lead the Dolphins. Ten minutes left in the second half. Yes, we get paid to do this. Can you believe it? 24-6. Dragons lead the Dolphins. We do that for Uber Reserve.

Mitch is listening. Afternoon, you absolute legends. Mitch here. This is the best show ever. It's almost as good as the time Big Martin said Claudia Schiffer brains. Thank you, Mitch. That was one of his great moments on the show. Wayne Brain, you're living out here somewhere still. Wayne Brain, you're right. You could like Wayne Brain. Hi, guys. Mark, just wondering if you've picked out your dress for Christy's wedding.

I forgot about that. Or has the marriage already taken place and it went through to the keeper from Georgia? No, it's still going ahead, isn't it, Levy? Well, I actually got a message. I'm in a group chat with all of her friends at the moment. Let me just say this. When the girls get on the drink, wow, some of the messages you get, jeez. You should be with them. You're the matron of honour, aren't you? Well, this is the reason why they've texted me. Hang on, let me see where it is. Oh, here it is. Oh, so we've got a date for Christy's hen's party, which apparently I'm going to. OK.

This gets better. Are you going to dress up? Where are you going? Is that awkward if I go to the end? No, not at all. Are you going to wear a dress? No, I'm not going to wear a dress, Daryl. Makeup? No. What colour? Outfitting? Well, I've already discussed this with Christy. I will...

He's not going to wear panties. You're going to have to garter him. That'll be interesting. The garter on his thigh. On his thigh. Low-cut top. Wow. Leave him. Wow. Drop off, would you? Yeah, so the hen's party will be in January, and I'm assuming that I'll just get a tie the colour of whatever the other bridesmaids' dresses are. So I'll just stand there in a suit. Okay. Okay.

Why does everybody find this weird? No, no, no. Mate, it is weird. It's different. Blokes going to the hen's den. Yeah, that's weird. Unless you're a stripper. I won't go. But you might get it. Go with the stripper.

Become the stripper. No, no one wants to see that now. Well, the girls do after a few drinks. You never know, mate. I don't think it's weird. One of my best friends in life, Kristen Ogilvie, and I grew up, she lived next door to me, two years older than me. And I went to plenty of things with her and her girlfriends and hands things. Like I used to go sort of halfway through. You know what I mean? All those things. You weren't the matron of honour. No, I wasn't. No.

You weren't like the piece of meat there, were you? No, all of her friends, Kristen and Fruity, and all those girls from Brisbane, they were all great mates of mine. And so I just had perfectly... So what, you're the only bloke there? Yeah, 100%. You don't think that's weird? It wasn't weird at all. How old were you at the time? Oh, all in my 20s. It wasn't weird. I think it's weird. Well, you're wrong. You think it's weird, Pete?

Yes, it is. It's weird. It's different. It's weird. It was unusual, but it was real. I'm trying to think if I've ever put myself in that situation. But let me explain it to you this way. I've been Christy's best mate for 15 years, right? And a lot of her girlfriends wouldn't see her as much as I do, which is why she wants me to be a part of her special day. Okay. So what would you prefer? I just sit in the front row and watch? No, no, no. Oh, okay. Answer me this. I'm not going to be on Pete's side. Answer me this.

when they get up to do the wedding dance, who do you dance with? Oh, he's got to dance with the bloke, my best man. You've got to walk down the aisle with the best man. I'm not a dancer. Who do you dance with? You have to dance at the wedding. I didn't think about this. This is terrible. Who's the best man? Do you know him? His name's Forby, and he's a big unit like me. And he's got one of the ZZ Top Beards. Big Forby. Forby.

Is that because of a 4B2 or something? No, no, no. He works in the petrol industry, like petrol stations and all that sort of thing. Does he smell like petrol? No, no, no, no. Well, actually, his wife has a pole dancing studio.

Hang on, this is getting weird by the minute. Look, just for your sake, in case Buzz Rothfield gets hold of this, I think you should just pull out. I mean, this could be the weirdest wedding of all time. You could end up anywhere. Leave me. I don't want to see a photo of you with your head down in the sewer. When I talk about pole dancing studios, a lot of women do pole dancing now for fitness and core strength and all that sort of thing. It's not

It's not down the path of, like, the Cross or Fortitude Valley or any of those lines. It's more to do with women doing it to try and do fitness and core and all that sort of stuff. Why don't you join in? Why don't you go with the bridal party? Couldn't they just do, like, touch their toes or something or backflips? No, I'd prefer to go with a wad full of cash. Oh, Levy. Nah, nah. I don't see it as weird as you blokes suggest it is.

I just will not be dancing. Who are you going to walk in when they introduce you? I won't be wedding in with anybody. Well, you will be because you're the matron of honour. And there's a best man. No, I won't because I'll probably emcee the wedding as well. So I'll already be in there. Not when you're in the church, mate. You won't be emceeing there. You'll have a priest or something. End of the church, the end of the service, wherever it is, the bride and groom will exit the...

Ceremony. And then you... No, no, no, the ceremony. Ceremony. And you know what happens in the end sometimes? What? The

The best man and the matron of honour kiss. No, they don't. You and Forby are going to have to have a passion. When was the last wedding you went to and saw the best man kiss the matron of honour? Yeah, there's always a kiss on the cheek. Oh, right along. Lovely to see you. I don't want Forby to try and stick the tongue in either. Gerald, drop off, would you? Leave me at Forby.

There are going to be situations at this wedding where you're going to have to be partnered up. You're going to have to man up, even though you're a girl. Or be wearing a beard scratching. Are you going to wear a mini skirt? Mini skirt, David.

Oh, this is too good. With a D string. Can you just, the three of you just shush for a minute. Oh, look, he's rad. Out of interest, is there anybody across Australia who has been invited to become the man of honour for the bride? Not the matron of honour as these three idiots have suggested. Matron of honour.

will be the man of honour for my dear friend Christy who is getting married to Peter and they have a beautiful little girl Lily. She's going to be a flower girl so I'll hold Lily's hand and walk in with Lily. I'd say by the end of the wedding you won't be in any honourable state.

You and Forby will be walking out. Forby walking out with Levy. Forby, you're leaving. Grab the keys, Forby. We're going to the pole dancing studio. No, he'll be fighting with Forby because he would have told Forby to trim that beard before thinking he hasn't done it. Gee, you've got a rough head, Forby. We're off to a break. Back with more.

Well, quite clearly it's weird. Nobody supported me. Phil says, no, Levy, this is weird. Big Man, you're one very funny guy. Mate, I'm sitting here laughing in tears over Levy going to the wedding. Have a good day, boys. Craig, Levy would make a good flower girl. Well, they do that now at weddings, don't they? They have the flower...

The flower men. Do you have to hold the dress up when she's walking down the aisle behind her? He will. Mark, it's not weird at all. Good on you for being the man of honour, your friend. Ignore those idiots from Patricia. That's a made-up one. Yeah, Patricia. That's a made-up one. Patricia thinks it's weird as hell.

Thanks, Pat. And you notice his body language. He's also just focusing on the screen. No, you know, he's just remembering he's got to do the bed forwarding show tomorrow. What about when Christy has to throw the bouquet? No, the bouquet over her head. Levy's just going to come charging through, knocking out all the girls. Grab the bouquet. But let's go through some issues that could happen. Like...

Like Christy might cry on the day. So there'll be make-up issues. How does Levy fix that? He can't. She might break one of the heels off a shoe. She'll be in tears. She'll have to fix that. Levy won't be able to fix that. Something will be wrong with the hem on the dress. She won't be able to do this. He doesn't sew. He doesn't. He won't be able to fix that. There's this endless number of troubles here.

that just could absolutely blow this whole wedding out the window. And it'll forever and a day be remembered. All right, all right, all right, all right. I get the bloody picture. Gary says, Levy, will you be wearing white or black lingerie for four weeks? LAUGHTER

Does he have to wear a garter? He's got to have a garter on the thigh. The best man doesn't. You're not the best man. You're not the best man. I'm not wearing a garter. The bride wears the garter, you idiots. You know what's going to be an issue? If Christy doesn't turn up and you have to become the bride. LAUGHTER

What's his name, old mate? OK, I'll marry her. Hi, Marcus. The wedding in Young. I'd love to have a beer with you and Forby at the Aussie afterwards if you'd like to kick me on. Hey, Legends, leave me. Just do it, champion. As when my gorgeous darling, beautiful wife and I got married, my best man was my best friend, Melissa.

from Georgie and Tim on the Mid North Coast. Thank you very much for that. And there was a couple more here. No, I'm not making them up. I'm reading what's in front of me. Hi, Luby. During the hen's night when the male stripper comes, are you going to close your eyes? That's weird for me from Joey. Wouldn't it be funny if it was Gail's brother?

He said, good-bye. Good-bye, Levy. Levy said, I'm the best woman. He said, good-bye, Levy. You're back again. You're a professional. You do more of these than I do. What about Ernie?

Oh, he's making out. No, he's making out. He can't hear anything. No, what about Ernie and Warwick? Are you wearing lipstick? No, I'm not wearing lipstick. Mark, I think it's very sweet. You're probably... No, I can't read that one. Hi, Mark. I think what you're doing is fantastic. You're going to have the best time. Who can resist a good wedding? Just be yourself, because that's why you got chosen from Min. Thank you, Min. And, Levy, it's not unusual for the maid of honour and best man to hook up after the wedding.

Yeah, thanks, Tim. I appreciate it. You put it on Forby. G'day, Forby. Let's lock in your tips. You are deflated. You know what he'll say to Forby at the wedding? He'll go, oh, you should have seen the male stripper, Forby, at the end. He should have missed out on it. It was girls, brother. What about Ben? What's the parking like at the wedding reception? LAUGHTER

We should have it at pronto. Have the reception there. That would be beautiful. Everyone's just got to get a bus. You are despicable.

We'll get a tip, a play to watch, a first try score for First National Real Estate, putting you first in whatever stage you are in on your property journey, unlocking your dreams, your future. First National Real Estate, your key to happiness. And we need a bold prediction for Torbjorn's. If you're talking paint professionals' trust, you're talking...

Taubmans, Breeny, you can go first. Rightio, I'm going to tip the Penrith Panthers at home. They're almost unbeatable here. And I heard a stat before, someone saying the Cowboys haven't won here for a long time. Nobody has, basically. I'm going to say Sunia Taruva to be the first try scorer. The player I want to watch this afternoon is Dane Laurie. He's got to go into the fullback role. And the bold prediction is last time we were here, wingers scored 12 of 13 tries. It'll be a wingers day again.

Margaret says, Levy, I'm a make-up artist. Happy to sort you out for the hens. Thank you, Margaret. Daryl, who are you tipping? I'm going to tip Penrith. The player to watch, I think, is James Fisher-Harris. Given the fact he's leaving the club at the end of the year, he knows there's only a certain number of games left.

I think he'll live for the day. First try scorer, I'm going to go Paul Alamotti, and I'm also going to tip Alamotti to score a treble today. Ooh. Wow. A treble. I've got big ones. And just quickly, Piggy, before I get your tips, the Dragons have beaten the Dolphins 26-6 in Shane Flanagan's 200th game as an NRL coach. That's a big win. Beautiful. Well done, Flano, and well done to the Dragons. As you said, Lee, a huge win for the Dragons and puts them in the eight. I'm Timmy Penrith.

First try scorer, I'm going to go with Dane Laurie. My player to watch, I want to watch young Jack Cole. He's had some good footy for the Penrith Panthers this season. My bold prediction, I'm going with Scotty Sorensen getting a double. All right, thank you, gentlemen. We'll take a break.

I'll conjure up some courage to call this game of football after the relentless attacks from my colleagues. You'll be right, Levy. Well, Brainy, you want to do breakfast tomorrow. Why don't you call the footy as well? OK, I'll do it. If it means I can knife you. We'll take one last break. Is that Andrew in the background? Oh, what about Andrew getting a bit too big for his boots in the background? We're back with the action here at Penrith as the Panthers take on the Cowboys.
