Now, live, right across Australia, the continuous cold team. Got away to Luai, ball back on the inside to Eisenhuth and Eisenhuth, ball back, it's packed on, now it's with Kenny, on to Smith, Smith to Leota, Leota gets the ball to Cole, he floats the ball to the top, to Ruber, and to Ruber, scores in the cold!

That's a party trick. With Mark Levy, Daryl Broman, Mark Riddell and Neil Breen. So Harry turned 10 on Friday and he had his birthday party. But one envelope from one of his friends, he's opened it and he goes, Dad, look, had a 50 in it. Oh, stop. And then Owen.

I went back into the kitchen. He goes, oh, Dad, there's something else in this envelope. And I said, what is it? And he goes, they're lotto tickets. Knock on. There were two scratchies. How'd he go? He went. He's 10. You can't. Anyway, I taught him how to play and he won three bucks.

Oh, God. Sport and laughter right across your weekend. Piggy Riddell has set a new world record for the least amount of steps. In half a day. Half a day, he's done 893. Bruce is first up in Cronulla. How many steps today, buddy? 397. Wendy at Rydalby. Yes, I can beat that. I got only eight steps today. LAUGHTER

Surely Wendy wins at 88. Paula Castle Hill. Yeah, 63 today. 63? Got up this morning, had a shower. The wife started yelling at me, so I went and sat in the car. Been here for about four and a half hours. LAUGHTER

Imagine you're standing at the foot of the tallest mountain in the world, base camp at Mount Everest, listening to us. Good on him.

Obviously love their footy. They should get the Nepalese, the guys that carry the... Sherpas. Sherpas. Make sure they're tuning in as well all the time. They wouldn't understand us. Yes, they would. They love their footy over there. We're big. They're speaking other language. We're big over there. We're massive. Huge. That's where they make the ice cream. What? Napolitana. Neapolitan. You're an idiot.

And now on TGV Sydney, 4BC Brisbane and network stations across Australia, it's time for the Continuous Call Team. I always love listening to the opener. I realise what a great show this is. Good afternoon and welcome to the Continuous Call Team as we wrap up the Beanie for Brain Cancer round and turn our attention to the State of Origin Series. New South Wales coach Michael Maguire to name the Blues team for Game 2 later tonight.

Latrell Mitchell has broken his silence in an interview with Michael Chamis on Channel 9 with a South Sydney fullback declaring he's ready to give it to some Queenslanders. He's almost certain to be named in the centres replacing Joseph Akuso, Stuart Lee, Dylan Edwards expected to make his return at fullback and Mitchell Moses likely to replace Nico Hines in the seven jumper.

Meantime, Queensland coach Billy Slater will wait until tomorrow morning to name the Maroon squad. With some doubt around Jermaine Hopgood, who has a back injury, the other question mark hangs over the head of Rhys Walsh, who hasn't played a game since he was knocked out in the seventh minute of Origin 1. Either way, the Queenslanders insist they will go to the next level.

and bury the Blues with a three-pronged attacking blitz at the MCG in Melbourne on June 26. I'm sure you've got an opinion on the Origin teams. You can have your say here this afternoon on 131873. You can email us at 2GB.com or 4BC.com.au and you can...

Text us as well, 0460 873 873. In the three games played last night, the West Tigers, well, they received a standing ovation from their diehard supporters as they snapped a nine-game losing streak by beating the Gold Coast 18-10 at Leichhardt.

The Warriors haven't beaten Melbourne since 2015 and the Storm proved too strong again with a 38-24 victory to cement their spot at the top of the ladder. And James Tedesco helps guide the Roosters to a 28-18 win over Parramatta. Two games this afternoon. Score updates on Manly and St. George-Lawara at Four Pines Park Brookie. And that's followed by a full call of the game between Newcastle and Penrith.

at McDonald Jones Stadium. Let's welcome the continuous call team from the McDonald's Interactive Studio. Daryl Broman, Mark Criddle, Neil Breen. Good afternoon to you fellas. And Big Man, I'm imploring you this afternoon, my friend, to lift the...

as Queensland prepare to name their team to make it a 2-0 series lead and to claim a third straight series victory. Well, firstly, I don't think we can win. We can't win this game. You blokes will pick a much better side, I would think. I think there'll be a few changes in the New South Wales side. We'll have to wait and see what happens. Good afternoon to you, Levy, Piggy and Brini and all our listeners. Another interesting afternoon of football with the New South Wales side to be announced tonight. It'll be interesting to see what they do.

I thought they were pretty good in Regain 1, to be brutally honest with you. They were down one man, and it was 20-10 for a long time in that game, and it got away from them at the end. But I also thought Queensland were pretty good as well. I read Billy Slater saying he thinks Queensland can go much higher defensively

you know, in performance levels and execution. So it'll be interesting to see what happens. But we've got a couple of games going today. Manly playing the Dragons today, which I think is a really interesting game given the fact that the Dragons smashed them down in Wollongong, what, about five or six weeks ago. A chance for redemption for the Seagulls. In the game, we're calling the Knights up against the Panthers. Panthers...

Well, they're not at full strength, but they're reasonably strong, the Panthers. So you'd think they would win that. But given the fact we've had a lot of, well, upset results this round, who knows what'll happen. In fact, I'm going to make a statement here. Anyone who's tipped three or more has no idea what they're doing. LAUGHTER

I'm with you. I'm with you. Tough round. I am with you. You know why, Daryl, I think you're going to lift today? Why is that? Because our man, well, we've got Liam who's pushing the buttons for us today. And guess what? We're 15 minutes in, Liam. You're doing a great job, champion. Well done. Well done. Don't worry. There's a lot of pressure on you. No, I'm just joking. You'll be fine. But Will's here supervising Liam. Yes. And Billy Bottom, who you hear doing the traffic during the week. What do you mean?

Will's the supervisor? Yeah, Will's high-profile. Where is he? He lasted 12 minutes and he's bolted. He's not even there. He's left. He's gone. Where's Willie? Supposed to be supervising. Oh, supervisor. From where? Hang on, there's an accident on the M5. He's rushed up the corridor. He's on the two-way. I've actually sent him down the shop to get a bit more stuff. Yeah, look at him. He's brought in half the shop. He's got mortgages and bills to pay. He's brought in probably 50 bucks worth of junk, chips,

biscuits, chocolate and snakes for the big man. Well, I'm going to let you have $10 worth of it and I'll have the other $40. Mate, you'll be demolishing most of it. I do have most of it. But you do nibble on it yourself, maybe. No, because I've got a lot of talking to do, Daryl. You still nibble on it. I just sneak a little. I've already had a little cookie. The ad breaks. I've had a little cookie already. So, see...

I'm a bit concerned that Brainy hasn't purchased something for the day, but he probably has. Why would you be concerned? He brings something for you every week. Well, he hasn't today, though. Of course I've purchased something. I just don't present it before the show. I bring it out during the show. That's right. I've got something in here, but it's in honour...

Big Martin, of your man of the match performance in the Virgin Lounge at the Gold Coast Airport on Friday night. Well, what happened was I was up there doing a story for a current affair. I know I work really hard. It was on the Mick Fanning Golf Day. So anyway, after interviewing celebrities all day, I go to the airport.

Big Mom was up there doing a function where he got shown up by the greatness of Wendell Saylor. We'll talk about that later. He would have been humble, Wendell. Yeah, he was very humble. But anyway, we got stuck at the airport because, well, our plane, they put petrol in it, but then they weren't sure how much they put in. So old mate, the engineer...

had to measure it. By then, the storm hit Sydney. Oh, no. So we sat on the plane for three hours. Then we went back into the lounge. I walked in. Big Man was holding court in the lounge with all of his people from the function. Mate, I think that's hardly true. I think the opposite might be the truth. No, no, no. But Big Man, through all of his travails, we were there for hours, right? Seven hours our plane was delayed. Then Big Man, at about the six-hour mark, you

your flight's been cancelled right he's gone so big man and to watch him in action was amazing he quickly booked himself a room at the ridges hotel airport hotel then he said i could get onto your plane greenie greenie he said and so then he went downstairs he got a ticket onto my plane and just stayed calm through the whole thing no blow-ups no dramas no carry-on so i'm giving him man of

the match. Wow. Thank you. Good on you, Darrell. Well done. Well, I was more concerned. There was a number of families there. There was one family there who were flying to Italy yesterday, and they had to get down to Sydney to get on their flight. They were going pretty early. So, I mean, this is a trip of a lifetime. There was mum and dad, a little boy who's probably, what, about 10? No, he's about 8, and his sister who just finished school. It was a big occasion for them, obviously. And they, as it turned out, the flight that we got on, they were on as well. And

And, you know, it was the last one. I thought you were about to say they're still in Brisbane. I've got an issue, too, with it. Oh, he's up. I'm going early here. Righto. You know how there's a curfew at the airport? Yep.

We landed after the curfew, by the way. This is my point. What's the point of having a curfew if they break it all the time? Not that I'm complaining because we got back to Sydney. But the curfew, I understand, is 11pm, correct? Correct. We landed at 11.20pm, so... Correct. That, to me, is...

Could you imagine, though, if you turned the plane around and had to go back to the golf course? I bet you that's happened before. But I'm saying to you, Piglet... There must be a tipping point for you.

I love that show. Todd Woodbridge. It's a great show. He's great, Todd Woodbridge. Where they decide if they can go. There's an English version. There is. But they would have surely. I don't understand, right? And I'm not being critical here. I'm happy that we got home. I'm happy that we got home. But if there's a curfew of 11 p.m. How can we land at 11? 16 it was. You know, I'm just a simple front row done good in life, right?

I don't understand that. You know what the funny thing was, though? You know when he was trying to book the room at the Ridges? Yes. And he was saying, I'll ring this Ridges and that. He was in cahoots with his other bloke. And then Big Man goes...

Would they have sleep apnea machines there? Can't hire one of those. Daryl, there's a business opportunity. Hire sleep apnea machines. Particularly at airports. What a great idea. And to use one of Blocky's, we'll put them in club colours. Sleep apnea machines. A good idea, mate, because if I had to stay the night with my sleep apnea, and I'm sure there's others the same,

it would have been a nightmare. I wouldn't have been able to sleep. Well, you've been rattled ever since, Darrell, because you were a bit flat yesterday. I hate to say it. No, he's back today. He's back. No, he was a bit flat yesterday. He was very, very tired. Well, it was a long day. He's not used to late nights on Fridays anymore. He's usually got non-eyes by 9 o'clock Fridays. I'm going to let Tom Malone be the judge. Well, he actually sent me a message this morning. He's writing that down. Yeah, what did he say? He wrote Tom Malone. You mentioned Tom's name. By the way, he's taking part in the CEO sleepout, Tom. I saw a little thing the other day. Does he have sleep out now?

Well, I don't know. It'd be an issue because he can't plug it in anywhere. He'll be sleeping in a box. But he sent me a message this morning and he said, Mark, great show yesterday. Gee, Darryl was a bit flat. Ooh. Well, he must be a double agent because he said the same about you on the morning. LAUGHTER

Are you making up text like I do? Anyway. Hey, Piggy. I'm him alone. What are you doing? I'm just going to text him. Piggy, look, I thought Friday night when you left the commentary box at a cool start. I went down. You're $1.04. See, I always know when Piggy's due a sick day when he starts going, oh, I've got the razor blades in the throat.

I'm thinking, oh, he's setting himself up for a weekend here. Not that he does anything else Monday to Friday. Excuse me. But you're here. I am here. Look, I am still rather sick, but I'm here. I'm here today. I'm still rather sick. I was pretty crook yesterday, but I only went out yesterday to coach the footy team, then went straight back home and...

Just rested yesterday, but I'm okay today. I'll get through today. What did you think of the three games last night? I got some cracking football played, wasn't there? All three games were absolute crackers. It's always a worry when our rugby league expert panelist comes in and he says, Levi, don't ask me about last night's footy. I didn't watch it.

I was in bed asleep. He was in bed with the flu. I was very sick. But I'm here today looking forward to it. And, Brady, as far as a news sort of story goes today, I suppose Latrell Mitchell breaking his silence, this is a little of what the New South Wales...

had to say with Michael Chamis on Nine News. I'm ready, I'm keen. If Madge wants me, I'm in, bro. So I'm ready to go to Melbourne and give it some Queenslanders. There was a lot of doubt with New South Wales because I've never been looked after. I've been always a scapegoat. And I don't want to go into this camp being a scapegoat if, you know, touch wood, they lose, you know? So...

That was my biggest issue was that. But, you know, I want to go into a camp and feel comfortable in my own skin and actually, you know, create some bonds and get ready to play for people that I want to play for, not go in and, you know, be the scapegoat for media to go, nah, Latrell, this isn't it. Yeah, Latrell Mitchell, Breeney, speaking to Michael Chamis on Nine News, breaking his silence exclusively. Yeah, well, it was an interesting interview, wasn't it, that Michael Chamis did? There's a double-page spread in the Sun-Herald with it today.

And he kept expanding on this scapegoat type thing, Latrell Mitchell. Look, I think it sort of shows about the head noise he's got. He goes, oh, you know, if we lose, I'm the scapegoat and I don't want to be the scapegoat. Well, it's part and parcel of origin that when you lose, look at what's happened recently.

Since game one, poor old New South Wales had 12 men and people are just lining up players to shoot them. They only had 12 men. How could Nico do his job? How could anyone do their job properly? 12 men for 73 minutes. Tell him to go and have a chat to Mitchell Pearce. He knows the thing about being a scapegoat. I know.

Yep. And he's just sort of... Anyway, it looks for all the world like he's going to be in the team. It's one of those things, Brainy, and I'm like you. I read a few of his comments today too in Michael's article in the Sydney Morning Herald. And look, I'll put...

put my hand up here and say I'm a Latrell Mitchell fan. I'm a South Sydney Rabbitohs fan. Massive fan of him. But at the same time, Brainy, if Latrell Mitchell wants to stand on his pedestal and use the profile that Rugby League has given him to make political statements to be a, you know, to be one of these vocal supporters of the Indigenous community and all that sort of thing, he's got to understand that he will become a polarising figure. And I don't think there's a more polarising figure in Rugby League at the moment than Latrell Mitchell. Do you agree? Yeah, I...

100%. And also the way he plays. He's sort of an all-chips-in guy, right? He just goes hard. He might produce two or three plays that just bust Queensland to pieces and win them the game. Or he might get sin-binned like he did the other night when he came running in third man into some sort of a blue or a melee that goes on. But...

I just think he's always thinking they're out to get me. Someone's out to get me. Oh, the media, we lost and they just concentrate. Well, no, they concentrate on everyone. If you're Michael McGuire, Piggy, and you know Madge better than us, and we mentioned the photo that we got sent yesterday of Latrell sitting next to Madge

at a grand final reunion at South Sydney. If you're Michael Maguire, you're sitting there and you're saying to Luttrell, don't worry about being a scapegoat. Go out there and be a hero for New South Wales and guide them to a series-levelling victory at the MCG. Yeah, well, I think Madge would just be saying, you know, if I do pick you, just get in there and do your job. You do your job for the team. And if we can get everyone doing their job for New South Wales, then we're going to give ourselves a chance of winning the game. I have to say, it was very interesting...

Because this whole thing was about raising money for the late Kyle Turner. Well, they got all these players together and they had a reunion of the 2014 team in South. So...

So it wasn't just the 2014 team together. They were all there, but there was a wider group. And I find it interesting that the coach of the 2014 team didn't sit with them. He sat next to Latrell. You know, I felt as though it was almost like, let's put them together so it shows because, you know, Madge has said a few things about having the right attitudes to play origin and everything. But if we sit together, everyone can see that we sat together and therefore we've got our heads straight and our stories straight. And when his name's in the team, no one will say, hey, you said.

Do you reckon? You know what I mean? You're right. Or am I a conspiracy theorist? No, you're just doing your job as our newsman, Bruni. That's why we love you. That's hardly breaking news. This barely qualifies as news. It's breaking news. You know what? I was having a look at our mid-season or our pre-season predictions today.

The buy of the year. Look, I don't want to blow smoke here, Briony, but I think you've been the buy of the year. Outstanding stuff on a Sunday. Yeah, that's a very good smoke. Would you agree, you two? Yes. Oh, that was said with conviction. No, no, no, because I'm reading the buys of the year on ours. And I think some of you, and I think Briony is one of those that have got Stephen Crichton. Ah, Briony, you and me, give me some skin. Which I think is close to the buy of the year for the NRL. So is Paul Gallagher, he put it in first. Ha, ha, ha.

You know he's right. You know that's right. Listen, he's not here today. We don't argue on Sundays. We don't scream over each other. We talk to each other. You know what? I had to pull him into line yesterday. I said, Gal, when you talk over the top of people constantly, it makes it very hard for people to understand what you're saying. So when it's your turn, you speak. And then he's...

Oh, no, don't need to get cranky. I said, mate, it's just radio biz. That's what we've got to say. By the way, our big boss, Tom Malone, is listening. Oh, g'day, Tom. He says, Levy confirming sleep apnea. I fear for fellow sleepers on Thursday night. Oh, really? Yeah. Maybe we need a portable sleep apnea machine for the managing director of Nine Radio. I reckon he won't sleep.

He just won't sleep. Just toss and turn. That's it. Toss around ideas. Just take a hip blast, have an all-nighter. Toss around corporate ideas with all the corporate heavyweights. Do a piggy J-Moz and Gal in Vegas. Do an all-nighter. Let's go through. When's he doing it? When is it? It's on Thursday. What's the temperature looking like? Mate, it'll be cold. It'll be cold. Where's he doing it this year? Did I give him a blanket or anything? Yeah, they just sleep in a tracksuit. Well, the whole idea is sleeping rough, so you understand what the homeless go through. But they do literally get a piece of cardboard and...

A pillow or something? Yeah, that's about it, I think. Jeez. Jeez, you'd want to get your thermos on, wouldn't you? Anyway. Get the thermals on. I'm just having a look here. So Vinnie's CEO Sleepout helped break the cycle of homelessness. No one should experience homelessness. Everyone deserves a home. So you can go to ceosleepout.org.au and if you put Tom Malone's name in, you can support our managing director. But this is how good Vinnie's are. They've already raised over $5 million. There's 1,602 CEOs enrolled.

and 24,663 supporters. So well done to all the CEOs pitching in to help a very worthy cause this week. And I should mention too, yesterday, big thank you to Michael from First National Real Estate at Reavesby. We raised $10,000 for a long lunch with a continuous call team with all the money going to the Mark Hughes Foundation. Well done. We've come up with another idea. Yeah, we have. We've been talking. You see you're going to be running your own restaurant pronto, which

How far is it off opening? Probably next week. Okay, well, I'm looking forward to that. I think you should throw one in as well, and we should get other people. Today? Another chance. We'll give people today an opportunity. We think we should go to your place, and you should put the lunch on, and someone should buy the lunch. You pay. Lunch and drinks. But we haven't opened yet. Yeah, but it's open in a week, so by the time we're ready to go...

And whoever buys it in a couple of months. Yeah, we organise a date that suits everyone. So you're backing me into a corner here, aren't you? I am backing you into a very big corner here. Well, given I had a conversation with Mark Hughes on Thursday night and I was inspired by the work that he's doing, OK, I'll come to the table. Hey! I will come to the table. So this is for us...

Us four? And how many? Two more? We'll open it up to the continuous call team members to be there. Hang on. Do you want Gal to be there for this one? Not particularly. We'll just put him at the other end of the table. All right. Well, like we did yesterday, we'll run a bit of an auction throughout the afternoon. What should we start the bidding off? $1,000? Yeah, I think $1,000 is a nice starting point. All right. $1,000. That's the opening bid, folks. You know what? You know what? We're going to throw in as well. We're going to throw in a parking spot as well. We're going to throw in.

Can you drop off? There's parking there. Levy will valet park your car. Listen, you and you need to stop. You are a flea. You're a grump. When did the whole parking thing come up? I don't know, but me and Big Bud just know that it irks you. It irks me because you're buying into the rubbish that gets peddled.

valet parking, throw it in as well. Given it is the beanie for brain cancer round and obviously it's very close to our heart with David Morrow, our great mate and colleague who's battling the disease at the moment. If you'd like to come to a long lunch with the Continuous Call team down at our new place in the Shire, Pronto, Sylvania. Yes, I have

to declare that I'm the owner of the place. 131873, the number. We'll start the bidding at $1,000. We'll run it throughout the afternoon. It's all tax deductible because it'll be through the Mark Hughes Foundation and I'll offer up the long lunch at my little place. Well done, Levy. Levy, I'm also going to make an announcement here today. I want to be consulted at those nearest and dearest to you. No, no, no. No, no, no.

Tom Malone, if you're listening, and you are listening, obviously. Oh, don't suck up. Here we go. Hey, you know I'm off contract, don't you? Oh, here we go. Tom, if you can renew my contract in the next week or so, I will personally drop a blanket over to you at your sleep house.

How generous. And I might get Galen to do one of those good... What about a mattress and a pillow? Spinalese pillow? Spinalese. I'll get Galen to send a Spinalese over for you. You get a single mattress and a pillow. How many years do you want in your new contract? I know I'm at the end of the road. I'd say six. LAUGHTER

You'll be 80. There's a lot of old people on radio. So for our boss to re-sign you to a contract, you'll give him a blanket and a pillow. Yep. Jeez, that'll sway him. And a mattress. Spinalese. You don't get a mattress as a CEO sleep out for the homeless. Defeats the purpose. You can still sleep on a mattress when you sleep out. Mate, how many homeless people sleep on mattresses? I don't know. How many? How many?

Well, none, because they're homeless. They don't have a bed to sleep in. Some of them have a mattress there, mate, which I'm not trying to make light of this, but I'm sure some of them have a mattress.

Some of them. What's the sniff? I don't think any of them get a mattress. They dead set get a piece of cardboard. They get a box to sleep in to raise money and awareness to break the cycle of homelessness, Daryl. So he doesn't get a Spinelees pillow or mattress. He gets a box and a blankie. Well, if he can look after me, I'll give him one. We're off to a break. Back with 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.

So we're auctioning off a long lunch with the Continuous Call team in support of the Mark Hughes Foundation and Beanie for Brain Cancer Round. We raised $10,000 yesterday thanks to Con Didi's, who's offered up one of the Didi's group of restaurants to host one of our long lunches. And I'll host the long lunch at the little place that I'm opening down in the...

Shire at Sylvania. We've started the bidding at $1,000. Phil says, I would have offered $5,000, but as soon as you said, gal's going, I said, no, thanks. Thank you, Phil. John's at Orange. G'day, John. G'day, mate. How you going? Good. Thank you, buddy. Yeah, a $5,000 bid. Oh, well done. $5,000. John, are you a businessman in Orange, mate, or is it just a personal thing?

Just a personal thing, mate. Oh, good on you, buddy. Well, that's very kind of you and very generous in support of a very worthy cause. So we'll jot that down as a $5,000 bid for a long lunch with the Continuous Call team. Is John still there? He certainly is. John, do you like a drink, John?

I don't mind a drink, yes. That's good. No, we're going to Levy's. We want to make sure we get a good drinker. We can stay at Levy's place. Yes, you can stay there. I'll put you in with Kevin the Cat. Good on you, John. You're a very wonderful man, mate, and very generous man. $5,000 bid. So we've gone from $1,000...

to a $5,000 bid for a long lunch with the Continuous Call team in support of the Mark Hughes Foundation. 131873 if you'd like to make a bid in our long lunch auction. We turn our attention to State of Origin with the New South Wales side to be announced tonight. We've mentioned that Latrell Mitchell is set to earn a recall for the Blues. It looks like Mitchell Moses is the front-runner to replace Nico Hines. One of the other blokes who's being mentioned as a possible bench player is Connor Watson from the Sydney Roosters.

And off the back of their win last night over the Parramatta Eels, this is what Trent Robinson had to say about Connor Watson. Yeah, look, I think he was in contention for game one and, you know, he obviously missed through the throat. And he, you know, I was about to put him out there at centre tonight. He can play hooker, he plays 13, he plays six.

But his biggest asset is his energy. He makes other guys feel really good about the way that they play. His communication skills are high. He's an incredible teammate. So, yeah, I think he put his hand up and see what they decide. Yeah, fair rap from the Roosters coach, Trent Robbins. And I personally think Connor Watson's in his playing some of his best footy in his rugby league career. And I'm pleased to say he joins us on the line. G'day, Connor.

Hey, lads. How are we? Mate, very well. Congratulations, firstly, on the win last night, but also on your form. What would it mean to you if you were to receive a call from Michael Maguire today to represent your state in the Origin Arena? Thank you. Yeah, I mean, it'd be a dream come true if it was to happen. So we'll just see what happens. I'm not too sure. Sort of, yeah, I haven't heard anything yet. But...

I've just been really enjoying getting back out there and playing footy. Obviously, I missed a lot of footy last year. Didn't get to play a game. So for me, just getting back out there and playing footy has been the best thing. Hey, Connor, we just heard your coach there talking about the positions that you can fill in and you played hooker last night. Have you got a preferred position or are you happy just to sort of play that utility role and fill in wherever Robbo needs you?

Yeah, I've been asked this a lot sort of throughout my career, and I guess my answer to that's probably changed. I think nowadays, you know, I'm comfortable with being that utility player, but first preference is probably to play, you know, 13 and 9 in the same game, to be honest. And that's why...

It's been really good this year, like, when we've had Brendan there and it's sort of allowed me to... Whether I start at 13 and then once he needs a break, then go to nine. Like, being able to do both of those roles is...

has been good. I've really enjoyed that. But, you know, if I have to play six, like, I really enjoyed doing that this year and obviously played a fair bit of footy at one and then just sort of wherever the team needs me. Mate, I agree with Levi. I think you're having your best season. You've had a fantastic season. What?

Being a part of the Roosters sometimes must be a bit difficult because you're always up the top of the list when it comes to players. And then other times when you aren't going all that well, you get hammered, you blokes, as well. So what's it like with the Roosters? Because you do have some high-profile players. One bloke I do want you to comment about is Sam Walker, who is still a young man, but playing in a tough position. But, geez, he's gone to another level this year.

Yeah, I love it here. And I think all the boys do, you know. It's such a good club to be a part of. But like you said, you know, the club aims high. Like, they want to compete for premierships every year. So if the team falls short of doing that, you know, I guess your position comes under scrutiny a fair bit. But I think Sam's done a terrific job. You know, we saw last year, probably didn't have the start of the year that he wanted. Then got dropped and then had to ace the partial ACL. So missed about...

I think three or four months of footy, but then once he got back in there, I think he really showed that he'd matured in that time. And once he's been back in this side, he's really owning it. It's his side now, you know, he gets us around the park and I love playing with him. Connor, you went through some tough times and you were injured and you thought about giving the game away. Can you believe that after all of that, here you are on the verge of origin selection?

Yeah, it's pretty well held, to be honest. You know, like even at the start of the year, I played the first two games of the year in reserve grade. So, yeah, for me...

You know, like it's always a goal is to, you know, as a kid, like I've always dreamt of, you know, you want to play NRL, then you want to play origin. You want to sort of win a comp. That's, you know, the big three. And when I started the year, like it was always still a goal, but it probably seemed so far away, especially when I started playing in reserve grade. But yeah,

my thought process around it all and I guess my mentality was just like, you've missed a whole year of footy. Like, let's just enjoy going back to reserve grade, you know, getting that match fitness and just finding your love for the game again because when you sort of go through those times and you're not playing, you know, you forget how...

fun it is. And that's why you play. That's why you started playing when you were a kid because of how fun it is and how good it is competing and winning with your mates. Just getting the love back for that was one of the big things. And then just sort of put them

you know, back-to-back performances together and not worrying about, you know, selections or whatever's too far ahead, but just more enjoying the process and the day-to-day of playing again. Well, I'm sure the listeners would agree. Connor, listening to you speak, you're an impressive young man. We've had the pleasure of meeting you on a number of occasions now. If you are to receive a phone call from Michael Maguire today, you certainly deserve it. Keep up the good work,

mate and keep doing that job for the Roosters. Your coach is impressed, that's the main thing so good luck with it all mate and hopefully your name's read out tonight. Thanks guys, lovely to speak to you. Good on you buddy, there he is. Connor Watson from the Sydney Roosters and potentially earning a New South Wales call up tonight when that team's announced by Michael Maguire, the Blues coach.

One of the good friends of the Continuous Call team is Glenn from Junee, who says, Good afternoon, Levy, Big, Pig and Brainy. I wanted to let you know that Junee boy Jason Ferrario is participating in the Big Three Trek this weekend to raise money for brain cancer research.

in honour of his late brother and New South Wales Rugby League player, coach and development officer Rick Keast. Yesterday, the Diesels participated in the Mark Hughes Foundation weekend with every player, committee member and the vast majority of supporters donning the beanie. It was a great day of fundraising, although the results didn't go our way. All the while, our thoughts were with the great man Thirsty today.

who were front of mind thinking of him at this time have a great call this afternoon from glenn at junine he sent through some wonderful photos with all the players wearing their beanies and look i've shared the message that davy sent through uh by the listeners on friday and again yesterday and i know that we have a whole new audience joining us as well on a sunday and you all love and respect david morrow he sent this through earlier this week uh

imploring people to buy their beanies in support of the Mark Hughes Foundation. To all the Continuous Call team listeners, this is just a message from David Morrow, wishing you all the best, especially you, Mark, and the Foundation, and all those that get behind the Foundation and give it a lift every year. I can't understand what some of you have been through. I can now. I tell you what, it's tough. It's a tough road to row.

And I thank you Mark for everything you've done to help so many lift their spirits and try and find a way to beat this unbelievable, hideous bloody disease. And mate, honestly, thanks for all your support and everyone else that's given me support. And don't forget the beanies. They're fantastic. Keep your ears warm throughout the winter. I've spoken the world with friends and others that I've had out of footy.

because without them, I'm not sure we would have even got this far. I'm not lucky, really I'm so lucky. Thanks for all your support and please support the Mark Hughes Foundation. Every cent counts towards the most underfunded research project in Australia. We need it. Every cent helps. I'm going okay, as well as can be expected, as they would say in doctors' terminology.

We miss you, Davey. We love you, mate. And we're all sending you our best wishes. That's David Morrow, who, as you can tell from his voice, he's struggling at the moment. And it's hard for us to listen to because we're used to the big booming voice of Davey calling the footy. So if you can buy one of those beanies, they're on sale at IGA stores, at Lowe's menswear stores. You can buy them at the footy this weekend. And like I say, we're trying to do our part by auctioning off a long lunch

with the continuous call team. John's phoned through from Orridge with a $5,000 bid. So if you can do better than that, we'd love to make a donation to the Mark Hughes Foundation. So $5,000 is where the bidding stands at the moment. We raised $10,000 yesterday. And if we can raise another $10,000 today, it'll be going towards a very, very worthy cause.

Brain cancer, the statistics are just awful. So we need to hopefully come up with a cure one day or at least pledge as much money as we can to hopefully finding a cure through this very valuable research. We are the continuous call team.

Yeah, thank you for all the lovely messages coming through for Davey. What we're going to do is compile a whole list of them and make sure that he reads them while he's in hospital at the moment. So I'll go over and see him next week or the week after and make sure he sees all those lovely messages. 131873 is the number. Phil says, afternoon, leave your big pig and breenie on the sleep apnea machines. You can buy a battery for them. They're about $500 and give about five to six hours of use fully charged.

Had to use the battery on occasions. Very handy. Pig, expecting you to lift. Looking forward to a feed at the restaurant on the next trip to Sydney. Thank you, Phil. That's very kind. I will lift, Phil. Out of interest, Piggy. Yes. You've got a Mount Franklin water bottle sitting in front of me, and it's fluoro yellow. What is it? It's Barocca. Oh, right. I thought you just did a test. I thought it was a drink bottle from one of the Dragons' trips home from the Raiders back in the day, Piggy. What?

That's not big enough. That's only the 600 mil. There's an email here from Joe at Cremorne saying, how do you peanuts know Nico's been dropped? I thought it was announced tonight. Well, Joe, with respect, I don't think there's any need for us to call us peanuts, but what we're doing is simply reporting the speculation that Mitchell Moses is in line with

to replace Nico Hines. That's not locked in at all. And by no means is it locked in. So we'll wait for that announcement tonight. And no one, I can honestly say, if anyone says, I know this person's in the team, it would only be Mads and the selectors and maybe the guys, you know, like nobody actually knows. I feel really, I feel sorry for Nico if he gets dropped. I just think being a halfback in a 12-man team in Origin is impossible. Very hard. Impossible. Yeah.

Yeah, exactly. 131873, the number, 2GB.com. Click onto the feedback icon or 4BC.com.au. Just a reminder, two games this afternoon. The first one is the Dragons and Manly over at Four Pines Park, Brookvale. I think this is their fifth sellout crowd this year. They've done well, haven't they? Gee, and it's a beautiful day weather-wise in Sydney. Blue skies and sunshine. Mate, the game's flying, seriously. It is flying. It is. The number of...

The Warriors are another example. They've got sellouts, I think, all year. What about last Monday when you guys were at the Olympic Stadium? 40,000, wasn't it? No, 45. It was fantastic. The footy's great. And you boys were telling me, Piggy, you said on the phone that when you drove out of the stadium, they're all honking their horns and all that sort of thing. Last Monday. It was like they won a grand final. Yeah, it was like the doggies won the grand final when I flew out of the gates and got out of there on Monday afternoon. Flew out of there. What about this, Breeny? So, you know, Piggy's on sideline duties.

and he does his interviews, and then I said, righto, Piggy, you can rejoin us upstairs before I launched into Wide World of Sports. It got about 10 past, what, 10 past six, and I'm thinking, where's Piggy? And my phone goes off. Ray was on with Daryl and I. Phone's gone. I'm on the freeway listening to you blokes. I said, you haven't been dismissed yet. Yeah.

Six till seven was Wide World of Sports, which I did not need you. No, no, no. Wide World of Sports was to follow the continuous call team. Yes. And the continuous call team was on until quarter past six. But you were 15 minutes into your trip home by the time Wide World of Sports had started. You know what? No, no, no. Big man, I got out of there. But Piggy goes by the ratings book, and the ratings book says Wide World of Sports six to seven. Hey, Piggy. That's all I was going off reading. He wouldn't know what a ratings book looked like.

He can't read it either. I don't. I don't know what they look like. I've never seen one either. By the way, if you do have one, if you can fill it out in our favour, that would be very handy. Anyway, we are the Continuous Call team. Quick 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.

Cheers from Shane at Budrum. Yeah, the problem was it was a Monday. I'll tell you what, it was nice being on that freeway. I bet it was. How did we sound out of interest? Great, you were sounding really good. It would have been nice if you were a part of it.

Well, Ray was there. He was hanging around, so he shouldered the load there. Thank you. But how good are the tunnels now? Oh, well, I just go down the freeway, so. But I can get from Homebush to pass the city and into the eastern suburbs in 17 minutes. That's amazing. 17 minutes. Amazing. Just that tunnel. It's incredible. Unbelievable. But when you get the bill, it hurts. Yeah, I know. I use it on the way here. $17 each way.

Is it $17? Well, I used a new one, the F, what is it, the M? You told me about it. You can get the toll relief. Make sure you get the toll relief. How much is that? Every dollar you spend over $60, you get back a week. I do it from my place. So I live at Sylvana in the Sutherland Shire of Sydney. I duck across King George's Road, jump on the M8 tunnel. It spits me out here at Anzac Bridge. It's fantastic. You don't stop, otherwise you've got to go through Brighton and all that shit. And do you get the toll relief? Yeah, yeah, get all that stuff. Yeah.

So it works out all right. It works good. Be nice if it was a bit better, but I mean, especially... Just send a $60 bill a week to Tom. Well, mate, imagine the poor people that use it in peak hour. And our Queensland listeners in Brisbane will understand this as well. You're sitting in peak hour traffic on one of the motorways. Beep. There's another $10. I've had this suggestion. I think... 100%, they do it. If you are in traffic on those freeways or highways, whatever they are where you've got to pay...

If you don't get from point A to point B where you're supposed to go, where they charge you, you know, where you drive up. In a certain time. In a certain time, you get a lesser. Correct. Lesser toll because it hasn't worked. I like that. You're an ideas man. Thank you, Breaney. That's what should happen.

That's what should happen. It doesn't happen. I know. But it should happen. If you take that road and there's bumper-to-bumper traffic, you shouldn't pay for it. Why don't you get the people's champion to take that up for you? That might help you. He's too busy. Ring Chris Means. Ring the Premier and say, look, Chris, I've got an idea for you. I need to ring the other...

Who? The opposition. Hello, wind farm. Oh, yeah. Piggy's dirty on the wind farm off the coast. So is half of Australia, just quietly. Oh, my God. Don't blow up your blue up Friday night. Settle down. Take it deep. I told him, put it off Bondi and Manly. That's fine. Just settle down. Oh, Brandy, you won't be copping that. I know. All the pollies that live there. Put it down the south coast. Yeah.

Where all the whales are migrating. Yeah, great. We've already got all that stuff at Port Kembla. Just put more stuff down there. What do we want? No wind farms. No. When do we want it? Never. We're off to a break. Back with more.

♪ 13 months on baby, the looking glass ♪ ♪ Seven years of bed, with the things in your bag ♪ ♪ Things that you don't end in your supper ♪

With you on the weekend since 1987, you're listening to the Continuous Call team. Yeah, you certainly are on Sunday afternoon. Wonderful to have you with us from the McDonald's Interactive Studio. We'll bring you live coverage of the night's

And the Panthers coming up at five minutes past four. Planned away at Full Pines Park, Broogie, in front of a sellout crowd where Albert Opuarte has opened the scoring. 4-0, Manly leading St. George, Illawarra as we take you around the grounds. Lehigh, Opuarte, I should say.

Six points to nil now. Well, four points to nil, I should say. Manly over St. George-Lawara. I thought I saw the flags go up, but they've waved away the conversion attempt. So Manly four, letting St. George-Lawara nil. That's for Uber Reserve as we take you around the grounds after seven minutes of play. Of course, in the three games that were played yesterday and last night, we kicked things off at Leichhardt Oval that had that

$40 million announcement on Friday. The Tigers beating the Titans, 18 points to 10. Melbourne over the Warriors, 38-24. And the Roosters too strong for the Eels, 28 points to 18. Origin teams name tonight and tomorrow, the Blues tonight. Looks like Latrell Mitchell will be back in a sky blue jumper. Mitchell Moses, the front runner to replace Nico Hines.

So we'll wait and see what happens there. And the Queensland team will be named tomorrow by Billy Slater. Bill was on the Sunday footy show today on Nine, providing an update on Rhys Walsh and Jermaine Hopgood. I've been talking to Rhys over the last week. He's been ticking all the boxes and been really professional away from playing. And like I said, we'll sit down tonight and

We'll assess everyone's health and fitness and we'll go from there. What about someone else who missed club footy this weekend, Jermaine Hopgood? Yep. With a back injury, how's he shaping for game two? Yeah, he's got a bit of a back complaint obviously. Didn't play on the weekend so he's another player that

we'll be talking to and getting the medical advice around the health and fitness of everyone and then we'll go from there. You're not worried at all, you Daryl Queenslanders? Can't win. We've already got the series wrapped up, mate. You've already won. We'll go out and try hard. Might have to bring out that picture of him in the New South Wales scarf and beanie again, eh? Well, that was a dollar. Cash? No, no. As Gail would say, it was

Probably a freebie. Let's check in with another one of our colleagues from Channel 9 and the Wide World of Sports, Brad Fittler, because he's on the way up the M1 to call the game between the Knights and the Panthers. And I'm pleased to say he's on the line. Hello, Bradley. Good afternoon, gents. How's the trip, mate? M1 clear? Oh, how boring is that? Well, listen to us. That makes it even more boring.

No, well, you know what? I like to do it in silence. It's just, I don't know why I drive myself crazy. No music, no nothing.

No, nothing. My little brain, the little monkey's just running around. Could you imagine? Oh, my God. The only thing worse than that would be if Joey did it in silence. Imagine that. He's got the full orchestra going in here. Oh, beautiful stuff. Knights at home in front of a big crowd at McDonnell Jones Stadium. Freddie, do you give them a chance against the Panthers?

I do. I do. We're actually just going through their team, and they're a funny team tonight. They're...

You know, they can match it with the best of the clubs and then all of a sudden they just put in a performance where, like against the Dragons, where you just go, wow, you know, like where did that come from? So, yeah, they're a funny team. I like their bench. Safoudi, Crossland, I think Brodie Jones and Hetherington. I sort of always start at the bench when I look at teams, so I feel like...

If they're looking for impact and they need the game to be changed, those players are capable. But they'll get tested without a doubt. Penrith just tests you. And they test your fitness and they test your teamwork. So they'll get tested.

Freddie, what about the Newcastle Knights? If they are to pull off a victory up there at home, and I'm just reading here that the Knights have really struggled against the Penrith Panthers. Panthers have not been defeated up there since 2015, so it's a long time. But who do you think needs to stand up for them if they are going to get a victory up there?

Well, it always starts, I think, with your hooker, your halfback. You know, they're the ones that are touching the ball more than anyone. And then also your front rows. They've got a really good front row. They're tough. Yeah.

You know, they can on their day dominate other teams and hold the middle well. So I think if you get those real basics of the game, then you give yourself a chance. The thing what Penrith do is they just test you, like, you know, get them back on site in those extra efforts because they do it so well. And that's why against Penrith you need to actually try harder than you normally do to win a game because...

They just test your fitness, they test your teamwork and all that sort of stuff. So, you know, outside of them, their key players and the people that have got their hands on the ball the most, they're pretty much the whole thing, the whole teamwork thing that gets Swap 100 for so good. They beat teams, you think, how do they keep doing it? Because they just keep turning up for each other and they ask that of the opposition.

Freddie, talking about head noise, Jackson Hastings looks like he's played with a bit of head noise this year. How does he get it back on track? Well, you know, you don't just see the reactions, you know, when he does something good or scores a try, you know, it's always trying to prove something, you know. I always just want to, you know, get on with it. He's a really smart player. He has done this since he's a kid, like get a team around. He knows the game as well as anyone.

And I just always want to say to him, just get on with it, mate. Just get on with the game and just worry about winning more so than what other people are thinking and talking about. So I think he's one of those players sometimes who gets weighed down by opinions. Mate, state of origin time. You coached the Blues for the last few years. How are you feeling at the moment? Are you missing it or are you relieved?

Well, I think at the moment, you do miss it. It's very inspiring, you know. You wake up and you're motivated and you've got real purpose. So I miss that part of it. I don't miss the lack of sleep and the head noise. What about everyone telling you who to pick? Do you miss that? Yeah.

Oh, you know, that can get punishing. You know, being in New South Wales, it can get pretty tiring, all that, all the garbage that comes with it. But, you know, when you get in camp and you're with motivated people, you have fun. It is fun. And, you know, I think there was a moment there, Darragh, where I walked out. The first time we walked out on our stadium through the tunnel and you go from silence to 80,000 people walking

You don't get to do that anywhere else in life. That was, like, one of those amazing moments where you just go, wow, look what I do, you know? Like, I get to do this. So I never took it for granted. I loved it all. You know, had sort of mixed results, but wouldn't change it for anything. Mate, when you're walking out the tunnel with the boys and, you know, and you hear the fans and everything, did it bring back any memories for you? Did you, like...

Think about, like, whether you were playing. I think the one always that takes me back, Darrell, is the anthem. Yep. Like, I really used to reflect on when I was singing the anthem, whether it was at Wembley or, you know, before a grand final or... Because you sing anthems on big games, so you know you're in a moment.

And it's when the anthem's on when I was coaching, and even when I'm commentating, actually, I think back to the days. I've got a distinct moment at Wembley where my mum was in the grandstand. It was in 1994.

And we were playing a test match there, and I just remember looking up, just going, wow, how cool is this? So, yeah, that's that moment. The anthem's the moment where I always think back to playing, but I then sort of rub my neck and realise it hurts to drive these days, let alone play football. Hey, Freddie, on a personal matter, did your daughter Demi make it to Europe all right?

Wait, I've got to check in with my car pass here while I'm talking to you. Yes. So she's been to Amsterdam. I don't know what she got up to there. I know she got up to there. I like it, Dad. I know what she was doing, but...

While he's parking, so Freddie's daughter Demi and my daughter Juliet are friends and they've both gone to Europe for a year to study. See, Bruni's been whinging here about all the Uber rides and stuff his daughter's using over there. Juliet's on my Uber account and you should see how many Uber rides I've had in Europe in the last three days. LAUGHTER

Mate, I've just... It was a different type of cafe. That central bill for me, I'm not sure what it was. LAUGHTER He was in Amsterdam and was buying some... Some South American ganja. All right, Freddie. It sounds like you got to the footy. We'll let you go. See you on the telly this hour.

You're on your lad. Have a good day. See you, bud. There he is, Brad Fittler from Nine's Wide World of Sports. So while we've been talking to Freddie, Jacob Liddell has scored a try for the Dragons. The conversion attempt was waved away from Zach Lomax. So for all, Manly and St. George-Lawarra. That's after 14 minutes of play in the first half. For all the score, Manly and St. George-Lawarra as we take you around the grounds for Uber Reserve. Just a reminder, we're auctioning off a long lunch.

with the Continuous Call team in support of the Mark Hughes Foundation. As Kyle Flanagan goes over to score, it's 8-4 with a kick to come. Dragons leading Manly, 15 gone in the first half. John in Orange has pledged $5,000. It's a tax-deductible donation to the Mark Hughes Foundation. So if you'd like to come along to a long lunch with the Continuous Call team down at Pronto, Sylvania...

You can better the bid of $5,000. Give us a ring right now on 131 873. We'll take a break. Be back with plenty more continuous call time.

Back around the grounds for, of course, Uber Reserve. 10-4, big buddy. Dragons leading Manly. 10-4 the score. Dragons leading Manly. That's after 16 minutes of play in the first half. Shane says, even though I'm a Knights fan, I have the Panthers bookending a seven-leg multi. I have going. So, in conclusion, my Knights are specials. Thank you, Shane. 131873, the number I should mention with the Dragons. Moses Suley.

was a late scratching in their warm-up. Christian Tuipulotu starting in the centres in jumper number 20. Did I see him... There's two gone off for Manly in the last play when they scored the try. Reuben Garrick's now gone off. Right. And so is Toph Sipley. Sipley looks like he won't be back. He's got a knee problem, and I think Garrick might have been a head knock. So I'd say he's in a bit of trouble as well. So...

putting it all together, the Dragons are well on top of you. All right, 10-4, Dragons leading Manly. That's after 17 minutes of play in the first half. What have you got for us, Big Man? Well, Levi, I'm not sure where you stood. You know how a lot of our discussion revolves around food. Would you agree with that? Yes. Well, I'm going to throw another one in here. I got this from a friend of mine.

Why do they make bread rolls with seeds in them? Do you really think we need the seeds? Seriously, do we need seeds on bread rolls? So you're talking about the seeds that are decorating the tops of the bread rolls? Poppy seeds. Well, yeah, they're usually black, the black seeds. No, they're not black. Or sesame seeds. Sesame seeds or the little black ones, yeah. If you like seeds, why don't you just eat a handful of them? Well, if you like rolls and seeds, it's probably a good combination, isn't it? Who likes rolls and seeds?

Well, some people do. There must be people out there that like them. They like the texture change. When you buy a bread roll, they ask you, do you want seeds or do you not want seeds? I am adamant, no seeds, thank you. Well, the reason I like them with seeds on, but the reason I don't get them with seeds on is because I can't stand it when you cut the bread roll in half and they're all over the bench. There's my point. There's another point.

And you know what else you can't stand? When they got stuck in your teeth when you're trying to wait. And at the end of it all, when you go to clean your teeth and about 100 seeds come out. I don't want seeds. I don't need seeds on bread rolls. I don't mind them. For a change up. Would you like a seed on a sausage roll?

No, but that doesn't make sense. Your choice. Tomatoes? Mate, I don't see the point of having seeds on bread rolls. I think it's ridiculous. Well, people... It's to do with the... Where do the seeds come from? Well, it's to do with the presentation, I think you'll find, Daryl. And texture. I like a bit of different texture. Something on the roll. Well, seeing you, my friend, are opening a restaurant shortly, will your rolls have seeds on them? Good question. Well, I'm going to stand up and say to...

you, Daryl Broman, that I have a bit of experience when it comes to bakeries. Yes, remember the blower? Yes. The blower and the bakery. That's not experience, that's just being critical. No, I think you do. And let me say this to you, Daryl Broman, that seeded bread rolls are a lot more popular than the plain ones.

How do you know that? Because my baker told me. Oh, bull. But you know what? Get him on the line. I've just been thinking here while you two have been going at each other, I would much prefer a bacon and egg roll with seeds on the top than without. No.

I love a bacon and egg roll with seeds in it. Would you like a hot dog with seeds in it? I didn't say a hot dog. But would you? No. Take you there and out. But I like it. I rest my case. But I like it with a bacon and egg roll. Yeah. You like...

Seeds on the top of the bun of the bacon and egg roll. Why? Because I was just thinking about it then, and I'm like, because of the texture. You need to toughen up. The texture. You need to toughen up. Texture change. So you three like seeds. No, so the reason you're blowing up, just to use your words, to quote you, Darryl, the reason you're blowing up about seeds on the top of a bread roll is because when you clean your teeth, hundreds of them fall out of your mouth. What's the point of them? They don't taste good.

They like having critters in your mouth. I don't mind. I'm a bit of texture. Okay, so you three want seeds on every bread roll you have. You're on your own. You're on your own, everything. No, I want the option to buy them. I want the option to buy them.

And that's why they're there, because people obviously buy them, because they enjoy them. In your opinion, do you think there are more pro-seeders out there or no-seeders? I would say... I'm a no-seeder at the moment with prostate. You've been a no-seeder for a while. But I'm a no-seeder full stop. I would say 50-50. Ooh.

Well, I'd be very, very... Well, the only reason I'm saying 50-50, because if people sell them and bakeries sell them, someone obviously buys them, otherwise they wouldn't sell them. You know why they sell them? Because someone who ordered the seeds...

Overordered. So they go, you know what? They got too many seeds and they said, let's get rid of that. Do you think there's a use-by date for seeds? No. Well, there should be. So someone's ordered 15 bags of seeds at some poor bakery and they don't have a use-by date. So it's like, let's just pour them on the top of this bread. Pour them on the top. Mate, do you see? Oh, you do. I was going to say seeded bread. You do see. You do see. It's called moldy bread. It's called moldy bread.

And it's good for you. Can I tell you... Hang on, hang on. 131873, the number. If you want to weigh in on Daryl's seeds on bread rolls or not, you're more than welcome to. But I tend to agree with Piggy. There's obviously a market there for them, which is why when they pull the bread rolls out of the oven, well, before they put them in, they put all the seeds on top. Sprinkle them on top. Put them in to make them look good. Sorry, Brainy. Can I tell you about the Vietnamese bakery...

At the Edgecliff Centre where there's the Coles and everything there. Well, I first went there in 2003 when I moved to Sydney and the same lady's been there the whole time. She's there all the time. She must work that hard. She's never, ever in my life have I seen her ring anything up on the till other than 0.00.

So you pay five bucks for your bread rolls, you get your change. Are you saying it's a rort? I'm just saying. He's saying she's cash only. Why aren't you with Current Affairs? Get the cameras. Bravo. This woman is stealing money.

This just rings up zero point. And whenever we go there, I said to Lizzie, oh, you've obviously gone to the Vietnamese bracket. She goes, yep, 0.00. You're reading into it. She's got a malfunctioning till. It's been broken for 21 years. It's broken for you, but it works for them. Oh, her side works. Especially if the tax officer's listening. While I'm on the subject, I've got another one for you too. Yep.

You know when you buy Savoy's or Frankfurt's at home? Yeah. Hot dogs do not taste as good when they're on a square bun.

A square bun? Yeah. Well, you might have a square bun at home. I would never put... Well, I'd never put a Frankfurt on it. I would never put a Frankfurt on a square bun. But sometimes you have to. Even if you're at home, if you've got square buns there. I'd use a butted piece of bread. Yeah. A head of a square bun. A square bun for a hot dog, yeah. No, no, you put them on a square bun and you break the sausage in half and then you rip the bun in half. I can't break the sausage in half. Oh, two minutes. I've just thought of something. What? How dare you? You're critical of our sponsor, McDonald's. They put seeds on top of a Big Mac. Mac.

Do they? Yes. And the McChickens. I think a few of the burgers. They have seeded burger buns. Quarter pounders. To all beef patties, lettuce, sauce, pickles, cheese. On a sesame seed bun. On a sesame seed bun. Yeah, that's a seed bun.

How dare you? I'm retracting my criticism. I love Maccas. I love Maccas. He's reversing. I'm actually intrigued now, now that you've brought it up, as to whether or not people are for or against seeds on top of their bread rolls. 131873, the number. You can email us via the website. You can text us 0460 873 873. Hi, boys. My son is having a seeded macadamia.

burger right now from Ann. Is he alright? He's fine. I've just answered that question for her. Well, look, I don't want to say it, but I'm getting a little bit of support here, which is quite surprising. A little bit. Afternoon, Mark. Sesame Seeds

Give a good tasty crunch at a European bakery from Harry. There it is. It's about the texture. Thank you. Dave, get a crunchy bread roll. How good are crunchy bread rolls? Murnie at Denman, I love poppy seeds on my rolls, but working in a mining area, they rarely sell them as it shows up in their drug testing. There you are. Poppy seeds. Do they give you a high poppy seeds? Well, poppies is where heroin comes from. Do they come from seeds? Well, poppies...

I'm thinking of my grandfather all the time. Stop it. Come on, guys. The best bread rolls were the old horseshoe rolls with sesame seeds filled with all the goodies you like. I've had a lot of rolls, but they were the best from Wayne. I'm a big roll lover. You know, I do love a bread roll. I do love a...

A salad roll. I do love a salad roll. What are you having on your salad roll if you are having one? Just salad? Do you have a protein on there? Any meat? Well, yes. Like a chicken or ham. Chicken or whatever. Whatever's in the fridge. But I'm having, firstly, tomato. Yep. Cheese.

Then I'm having lettuce, onion. I have trouble saying onion. Raw onion? The raw or the purple onion? No, I love raw. Well, purple's raw. Yeah. It's not cooked, you know, the purple one. No, that's what I'm saying, the purple onion. Well, it's a raw one. Beetroot. You've got to have beetroot. I love beetroot. Beetroot's the best. Salt and pepper and the ham or whatever it is. Or even maybe, even a little bit of, because I'm now rich, mayonnaise. LAUGHTER

I think people can afford mayonnaise. Mayonnaise. At the cost of living Christ. I don't love cheese. I don't love cheese. You're not a cheese man. No, it takes over the taste of it. I love cheese on there. Look, this might say a lot about me, but if I was to have one last bread roll in my life, you know what would be on it? One last bread roll? One last bread roll. So he's on his deathbed. My last meal. I'm on death row. What are you having? And the warden comes in and he says, you're allowed to have a bread roll with whatever you want on it. What do you have? Cheese and tomato.

That's it. Cheese and tomato. Oh, that's so boring. That's boring. Mate, honestly, if I'm craving just a bread roll, cheese and tomato on a nice white bread roll, oh, it is delicious. Would that be your death row meal, though? Absolutely. Cheese and tomato. Absolutely. No way. Leave out of steaks, no. Cheese and tomato bread roll. If I've got a craving for one of them bad boys, whoo-hoo.

Yeah, I don't mind them, but I want all the other stuff on them as well. Keep it simple, bro. Yeah. Jeez, I'm looking at this. I'm helping some support and some criticism. See, that's what I said. It's 50-50. Hi, boys. Hi, boys. I vote no on the seeds. They go everywhere and don't really add that much flavour. That one from Paul. Hi, guys. Seeds on rolls are despicable from Georgia. Despicable? Peter says no seeds. Bob says, hi, guys. Seeds are good.

good for your gut and best of all they are usually free just excuse me for one minute what do the seeds do for your gut that's good they help the digestion Darryl getting through

The seeds help your digestive system. A bit of roughage. Seeds break down. You are tossing it up. No, I'm serious. I'm telling you now. Let's get Dr. Nick Cotsworth on here, whatever his name is. Dr. Nick Cotsworth. And ask him if seeds are good for your digestive system. We're wearing Dr. Ross Walker. He's here. What about Dr. Ross? Forget about Dr. Ross. Get him on. Get him to tell a joke as well. He won't do that. Seeds good for you. Can we actually record one of Dr.

Then he tells it here. That would be the end of his career. During an ad break between six and seven. No, no, no. Aha. I don't need to go to Dr. Coatsworth and Dr. Ross Walker. Oh, you went to Dr. Google. Absolutely. Nuts and seeds are rich in fibre, which is important for gut health and keeping you regular.

You know what? I've only got one word for you that keeps me regular. Laxets. LAUGHTER Let's hope you're not on them today. They keep me very, very, very... It'll be blocker. Clean up! Laxets! Laxets work very quickly. LAUGHTER Have you used a laxet lately, Blue Breeding? A laxative? No, a laxet. Have you heard of a laxet? I reckon I haven't had one since the 70s when I was a kid. LAUGHTER

When's the last time you ate one? I don't even know if I've had one. I've got a box of them in my drawer at home. A box of them? A box of what? What do you mean a box? Well, you have to buy them. You can't buy them individually. No, but what are they? Are they a tablet? What are they? Chocolate lolly things. What, do you just munch on them every now and then? No, I have them when I need them, when I'm feeling a little bit blocked. I've ran out of top deck. Well, hold on. We've just found a solution. You need to start eating...

Seeded rolls. And that's going to solve your issue. I put it to you. There's a lot of people who eat seeded rolls who still are constipated. LAUGHTER

I think if you do the stats. I'm not sure. You probably don't have time to do it today. But I think if you do the stats, that could well be wrong. Right. I don't think seeds help at all. I'm concerned that you need a box of laxatives in your bag. What do you mean? Do you roll over and go, oh, have a beef for a while? I'm just much on the cup of laxatives. You shouldn't have more than one.

Shouldn't have more than one. Why would you have him next to your bed? Yes, darling, I've got a tummy ache. I might have a laxative. When he said he had a box of them, I'm thinking you must have had one of those things, the suppositories. LAUGHTER

Magic cleaner, not nappy. I'm thinking he must just have to shelve them. Can you get suppositories over the counter? Probably. He can't reach. Well, I've got my sleep apnea machine on as well. Oh, God almighty.

What a sight. What a sight. It's a hell of an issue. A bit piggy. What a bit piggy. And he wonders why Darling wants him to sleep in another room. Laxatives, the sleep apnea, the suppositories. Where do you think I get the laxatives from? I'm not breaking back with more.

Back around the grounds for Uber Reserve. Dragons 10, Manly 8. Eight and a half minutes left in the first half. 10-8 to score. Dragons leading Manly. We do that for Uber Reserve. And some great news in the world of boxing. Australia has a new world champion. Liam Paro, the Mackay boy, has dedicated his world title win.

to his great mate, former Cowboys under-20s player Regan Greave, who sadly took his life in 2015. Paro wins by unanimous decision and is now 25-0. So like I say, Australia has a new world champion. That news coming through from Pete Bedell at the Courier Mail. 131873, 2GB.com. Click onto the feedback icon if you would like to join us. A few people have said, Mark, all those talks about laxets and everything else reminds us

about Piggy's farm days. Yes, this is the story that he told.

A continuous call team 2020 highlight. We bought a farm. You what? A mate of mine and I, we bought a farm. We're getting into the... You've got too much money. No, well, we're getting into the cattle business. So a couple of months ago, we bought a heap of female, like the cows, and we bought a big black Angus bull, which, jeez, they're not cheap thirsty either. How much was he? No, they're not. No. So we got a... So you know the difference between the heifers and the bulls? Yeah, yeah, yeah. No. No.

Well, Darrell, that was funny you say that. It's funny Darrell says that because, mate, we went up there. This is before Christmas. We went up there and we obviously had the Black Angus pool there and we're thinking servicing and all that sort of thing. Nothing doing. Nothing was doing. Oh, really? Maybe it was gay. No, well, we rang the vet.

Mate, we rang the vet and the vet came over, came to saw it and we told him what's happening and he said, I'll take these tablets and if you can give these... I said, what's with you? Hey! He said, I'll help out here. Well, he said to me...

bull. Well, we gave it to the bull. So you gave these tablets to the bull. The next week we went back up there. Honestly, and I'm not trying to be rude here, but servicing all the cows and everything. Ran through the property, the next property's fence, and started servicing all their cows as well. I'm not sure what the tablets are called, but they taste like peppermint. LAUGHTER LAUGHTER LAUGHTER LAUGHTER

And if you believe that, that's a load of bull. You had me then, Pete. Oh, I'm crying. You're a fool. It's a great show. Is the neighbour happy? Oh, Piggy. Good stuff, Pig.

That was a while ago now. Very good. 131873, the number. Now, look, there's a lot of messages coming through about lac sets, but I don't think we want to... Don't want to go there, do we? No. We don't want to go there. Let me tell you, they do work. Thank you, Darrell. Thanks, Darrell. A whole box of them. You wouldn't want to mix that up for the top deck. Now, Brainy, can we just move to the West Tigers for a second? Yeah. I mentioned...

earlier that they've had the $40 million announcement that they're going to upgrade Leichhardt. They had a good win there yesterday, the West Tigers. Something caught your eye at the press conference. Yeah, so on Friday there was this big press conference where Anthony Albanese was there. We'd known all this was going to happen anyway.

We knew the feds were in for $20 million. We knew that Darcy Byrne and the Inner West Council were in for about $10 million. We knew the state government was in for about $10 million. Everyone knew the figure was about $40 million. But this press conference was to ratify the whole thing.

So they have this press conference, elbows talking and everything, and Barry O'Farrell, former Premier of New South Wales, who's the chair of the West Tigers, who's been very quiet on this whole Leichhardt, where are the West Tigers going to play? I honestly believe, you know, and I know Richo was on here yesterday and he was saying, oh, we're the ones who ran this campaign. No, Darcy Byrne, the inner West Mayor, is the guy who's got the money.

There's been no love from the management of the West Tigers for Leichhardt. They really want to do a deal with one of the other stadiums for corporates and all that sort of stuff and maybe play a couple of games at Leichhardt. But Barry O'Farrell's the chairman of the club who's gone missing on this issue. And so he turns up to this press conference...

And all of them talk and all the money's being pledged and everything, including the state government. But O'Farrell wasn't across the brief. So I want you to listen to this where O'Farrell is, you know, talking about, oh, blah, blah, blah, and doesn't even know the state government's tipped in money. And in the background, you hear the prime minister chip in and say, they have, they have. Have a listen.

When the board makes that decision, we'll make that announcement. But it certainly makes it easier. It wouldn't have made it easier if the decision hadn't been here. And I'm an optimist. And I'm optimistic about the state government also eventually putting some money in as well.

Oh, we cut it off. I didn't hear they have. We didn't hear that they have, they have at the end of it. Let's play it and I'll pretend I'm the Prime Minister. OK, play it again. When the board makes that decision, we'll make that announcement. But it certainly makes it easier. It wouldn't have made it easier if the decision hadn't been here. And I'm an optimist. And I'm optimistic about the state government also eventually putting some money in as well. I heard it then. I heard it then.

They must have cut it off in the... I'm going to have to get it recut. We'll get it redone. So the embarrassing thing was, was that the New South Wales sports minister, Steve Camper, was there behind O'Farrell after having just been talking about the $10 million he's going to get. And O'Farrell's gone, oh, maybe the Stoke government will eventually put in money. What I'm trying to say here...

is the disconnect between the West Tigers management and what people are trying to do to save Leichhardt as an NRL venue. Yeah, right. Didn't Richo say originally he didn't really want him playing there? No, he didn't. Yeah, yeah, 100%. 100%. So they've got the money now.

So that puts them in a strange position, doesn't it? See, the money's going to put this grandstand at the northern end, I think. The northern end. And they're going to fix the change rooms and obviously, you know, the NRLW team would play there and they can play...

Like, it's not just used for NRL. Yeah, multi-purpose. But the problem is the West Tigers management is looking for a venue that can have corporate spending, big money at the football. Like Combank Stadium, their ideal one. For sure. No doubt at all. Well, we'll get the proper audio and we'll play it again for you on the show to understand, give you an understanding of what went on. You know, the other thing I get at press conferences when the people standing behind...

whoever's delivering the press conference and they just nod. Nodders. Like, just the nodders. Oh, yeah. That's a real American thing. The American press conference. Backing them up. I love it. Yeah, it's really there. And then when there's a politician from another political party, say, from the opposition standing behind for a big announcement, they refuse to nod. They don't want to be seen nodding. Oh. And just...

Non-nodding. A non-nodder. What about when you're making an current affair story and then after you've interviewed the person, the camera's got to go behind the person and you stand there and do the fake noddies? I've never done that. Is that good?

Well, you know, it's embarrassing when you're looking at someone in the eyes and you're putting on these fake noddies. Yeah, it's a little bit. But what you just said before, when they're making an announcement, but normally the opposition aren't standing behind someone making an announcement. But there might be some bipartisan thing or something. If there's bipartisan announcements, Darrell, you have all the politicians standing there. Or it's Australia Day. The opposition's not going to have them standing there nodding and agreeing with it. So they refuse to nod. That's the point I'm making.

131873 the number 10 points to 8 Dragons leading Manly a minute 53 left in the first half we do that for of course Uber Reserve 131873 the number to ring you can email us at 2GB.com where you click onto the feedback icon later this afternoon Knights Panthers at 5 past 4 we're off to a break we'll get that audio for you and we'll play it for you on the continuous call team actually here it is right now

Great, thank you. Yeah, so that was the Prime Minister. They are, Barry. Whoops. What planet have you been on, Barry? Whoops. Planet not across the detail. Not across the detail. And he's the chairman of the club, let's not forget. Anyway, all right, we'll take a break. Be back with more.

Dragons at half-time in front, 10 points to eight over Manly. Tonight, the score as we take you around the grounds for Uber Reserve. Rob says, Mark, you were talking like Di Lee when Albo was spruiking the airport tunnel line. Her face looked like thunder and the puppets were all nodding and smiling. Yeah, like we said, the bipartisan announcements. Mark, can Briony give us a genie little, please?

Oh, why, darling? You've somehow just got our listeners calling you Jeannie Little. I don't know why. Do you sound like Jeannie Little, do you? No, that was because last week when someone raised Jeannie Little and I went, darling. Did you ever meet her? Darling.

No, I didn't. She used to sound like my Aunty Cole. Aunty Cole Breen. Cole? Yeah, Aunty Cole, who lived at Marooka, was a big fan of rugby league and everything. And I brought the anti-Coles today for my sore throat, and we always called her Anti-Cole for 100 years. And for every Christmas, we all, us kids, all wrapped up an individual anti-Cole and gave it to her. And I'll give you a tip about Aunty Cole, right? Dropped dead at the age of 88.

after having drunk probably half a carton of 4X heavies.

a day and a packet or two of Benson and Hedges special filter a day since she was a teenager. Oh, wow. She would have gone to about 120 if she was healthy. Happiest person ever. Oh, wow. And then bang, gone. It's funny when you talk about giving presents from relatives and all that sort of thing. Is there somebody in your family who is a notorious giver of bad presents? Oh. I've got an uncle of mine who every Christmas I used to get a pair of socks off.

And, you know, everybody about the Game Boys. I used to get a pair of socks. I've got to the point now in my life where I'm cool with the colognes, the undies, the socks. No, but I'm talking more when you're a kid. When you're a kid. You want them now. I don't care now. That's fine. Load me up for the year. Great.

I mean, you don't need anything, do you? No, I'm more than happy with everything that I've got. Don't need to worry. It's like when you're a kid and your mum would make meat pies for dinner and you'd go, well, why can't we get meat pies from the shop? And then when you become an adult and you're living on your own at a share flat, you'd ring mum, mum, can you cook me one of those meat pies? Oh, that's so true. 131873, the number. You know what else is funny? What?

mannerisms of your parents or in my case my father like I used to look at when he was driving and he'd say over there on the left he would use his hand to point to an area you know so that's where the pub used to be or something like that I never used to do it you know

But I'm now finding I do it. You do do it. In your older age. In my older age. I've got the mannerisms of my dad. I have. I know I have. And I often think about it and think, you know, that's amazing. Because when you're a kid, you think, what are you doing that for, Dad? Don't do that. And then now you start doing it yourself. Well, you know, that's good for me because my old man, when I go over to his place at Mum and Dad's, he's usually on the night at about 3 o'clock, so I can't wait for that.

Those afternoon naps at about 3 o'clock where you almost snap your neck when you're rolling forward. As you know, I don't do too much during the week. I have a little man-to-nap occasionally as well. Between about 3 and 4? Around that time. Still tired by about 8 o'clock wanting to go to bed. Well, we had this famous thing in our family.

that we've laughed about for 50 years. My brother, Dan, who's 57, when he was in year one, they had this little thing they had to do at school. They had to draw a picture of what their dad did on the weekend, right? And all these kids, right, have, you know, dad mows the lawn and dad does this and dad does the other. And mum kept it for years. And he drew this stick figure.

And my dad sits on the couch and drinks Forex. I had a picture of him sitting on the couch with a can of Forex. LAUGHTER

Great memories. Proud as punch. Oh, proud as. Proud as. I've got a VHS tape of my christening where I'm getting fed fosters at my christening. My dad's handing me around to all his brothers and they're all giving me a sip of fosters. Are you joking? Yeah. You're still on a VHS. Have you got it? Have you put it onto a... I've got it somewhere at home. You can move it onto DVDs. I've got a box of old VHSs. I should do that. You should do it. You've got to transfer them over, mate. It's gold, mate. Like, you know, pass on, Mark. Have a sip of fosters. You know, I'm about...

Six months old. Anyway, maybe that's why I can stomach a beer these days. Fantastic. 10-8, Dragons leading Manly. Now, the Seagulls are going to play the second half with no one on the bench. Toph Sipley, Taniela Paseka and Corey Waddell are all off injured and Ruben Garrick's been ruled out after suffering another head knock. So they're down to no replacements on the bench, Manly. And at the moment, it's the Dragons leading by 10 points to eight. We are the continuous call team.

Look, this is probably a story I can share from Sharon on the text line in relation to our earlier discussion about Lacsets that caused a fair bit of laughter. It involves a little baby. Hello all, thanks again for a great show. You keep me smiling. My daughter and baby were visiting. She was in need of a little help, so a packet of Lacsets was bought. Having no experience with them, we decided two small squares would be okay. Oh my gosh, the next day on our very first trip to Ikea, they worked.

one very distressed mum realised that she had to exit quickly and hurried past baby to me we had no idea where the bathrooms were and it's such a huge shop the fluffy towels on display are in danger of being used for another purpose altogether I couldn't stop laughing and that certainly wasn't helping thankfully the day didn't end with a disgraceful scene thank you Sharon for sharing your story with us on the continuous call team now we've got

Scotty says, boys, my two-year-old, who was a late learner with speech, said to his grandmother and her best friend, Dad's shop, and pointed at Dan Murphy's while driving past. It was around that time I thought there may be a problem, so I rolled him into speech therapy. Thank you, Scott. And Shane says, true story, lads. I accidentally taped over our wedding video with a 2001 Cox plate. Go northerly. Luckily for me, it was a copy of that one.

from Shane. Keep them coming. 0460 873 873. We'll give you the next two clues in the quiz after the news and of course we'll bring you live coverage of Newcastle and Penrith. That match coming in from McDonald Jones Stadium. But 10-8 at the moment. Dragons leading Manly. That's as we take you around the grounds for Uber Reserve. And just repeating Manly will play the second half with no players on the bench. Three injuries and Ruben Garrick off the field with a concussion. News is next.

Footy and a whole lot of fun. This is the Continuous Call Team.

Yeah, welcome back. Next hour of the continuous call team as we lead into kickoff at McDonald Jones Stadium between Newcastle and Penrith. Team news is through. Oh, geez, there's some changes. There's some changes. Yeah, there's a few. Want me to write them down for you, Levi? No, I'll just wait for the teams. Newcastle, Kai Pierce-Paul is out today. So Dylan Lucas will start in the back row. Jack Hetherington joins the bench in 18. Phoenix Crossland will start at hooker.

Jaden Braley going back to the bench. Matt Croker is the 18th man, so that's not too bad. And then for Penrith, Mitch Kenny and Jack Cole have both been ruled out with quad injuries. So Brad Schneider will start at 5'8". Luke Samerton will start at hooker. Liam Martin returns from a foot injury and jump at number 20, so that's good news for the Blues. Luke Garner's also out through injury. Trent

Matt Tolau joins the bench in 23. Matt Eisenhuth drops out of the side and Maverick Guyer is the 18th man. So there you are, Knights and Penrith, the team news. We'll call that game for you at five minutes past four. And by the way, Piggy, I've produced another mixed name last night. Oh, you do? Yes, I called Wiegand, not Wade Egan. Wiegand. Wiegand had a dummy half. Was he Wiegand out?

You know what? It was early days because the colour of the jerseys threw me. For some reason, because they had their blue jersey on the Warriors and I got a little bit mixed up early days and I don't know why. Anyway, I said Wiegand. It's just become my thing, Brainy. I've started mixing players' first and last names. It's combining them. Daryl had a little chuckle last time. It's not a real problem. Well, I've got to say, you're going to go well at the Olympics with all those European and Asian names and South American and hello. At least you're used to it. I mean,

I mean, the names in rugby league these days are just ridiculous compared to what they used to be like. Thank God Carmichael Hunt's not playing anymore. Well, exactly right. And one of the best bits of advice I got from Ray and Davey was if you don't know their names, just say the...

Pakistani qualifier or, you know, the Polish qualifier, you know, up against their Polish opponents. That'll be getting it run in the Olympics. Well, one of the hardest things about doing the Olympics from the interactive studio, if you're not there at the games themselves...

Because at the Games, you get spoon-fed everything. They just bring up heat, one, heat, two, heat, three, heat, with highlights, and this person won the African Championship, and that person finished second in the European Championship twice, and Bruce McIverney sits there and goes, here's the two-time European. Everyone goes, how does he know all this stuff? Well, I was on air. I don't know if I told the story. I was on air when Anna Mears won her gold medal. I was on air hosting the radio coverage, and Drew Morford, the late Drew Morford, was calling the cycling for the ABC and Us.

And, you know, Drew Morfis has called race one. Victoria Pendleton's won it. And then they've gone to silence because the ABC's picked it up. So I've sort of picked it up here on 2GV and I've said, righto, well, there's some sort of confuffle going on in the middle of the velodrome here. There must be some sort of a protest going on because it got a little bit tight on the corner.

And I've never covered cycling before in my life. So I'm Googling things while I'm going. And I've gone, right, they're not umpires, they're commissaires. So in cycling, I'm a commissaire. Correct. And they're looking into it. There's a protest. And up on the little screen in front of me comes REL. So I thought, well, hang on, she's been relegated. She's been relegated. So Mears has gone one up in the gold medal race. I'm sort of learning about cycling as I'm doing it. So you just get thrown these curveballs and you have to think on your feet.

and just run with it and hope it's right. The Olympics, when you're there and you're working at the Olympics and you've got...

There's rowing going on. There's canoeing going on. There's a hockey match. There's cycling. There's stuff coming at you left, right and centre. And you do. You pick up this is happening there, that's happening there. But the amount of information you are given at the Olympic Games is amazing. Absolutely amazing. Technology is a wonderful thing these days, which is why, Daryl, you should never give up on your dream of being an Olympic commentator. Well, I haven't.

You know, I don't want to get into any drama with anyone working here, unless John Stanley. But... Well, you've had words with Hannah this morning. Well, I just explained to Hannah that he dobbed her in. And she said she didn't say anything to her. I think Hannah's loyalties have been tested today, Daryl. There's been...

Well, not a heated discussion, a discussion. Yeah. Where Daryl said, well, I've been rapping you, Hannah. You work with us on a Sunday. Love Hannah. But you've stuck loyal with John Stanley and I'm outraged by that. Well, I just said to her, I said, well, John Stanley said that you told him that I wanted to take his spot in the Olympic coverage or something. I said, I never said that.

She said, neither did I. I said, oh, he's good. That makes two of us. John's fibbing, is he? Well, it's starting to get a bit desperate from John because I'm reliably told by other members of the media he's now ringing them, putting them on the spot to try and bunk him with them. Is he going or is he doing it from the interactive studio? Well, Ray doesn't want a bar of John staying in his room. No. I think he's even hit up Carl Stefanovic to stay in with Carl. Are you staying with me?

Channel 9 and 2GB are not supplying him a room? No. This is outrageous. Well, you've got to... I mean, he's quality. But you've got to understand, Daryl, I mean, John Stanley's program won't be on during the Olympics because our coverage will start at 6 o'clock and then go throughout the night. Right.

So he thinks he's going to get, like, this all-expenses-paid holiday to Paris for the Olympic Games. And all he's proven at the moment is that he can call archery. Simon Fairweather. I wouldn't completely say he's proven that. You've heard it. We've heard it here. But rooms are hard to come by at the Olympics. Incredible. Are they really? Yeah, well, because of the media rooms and that. But when I went to Beijing...

How many Olympics have you been to, by the way? Three. And so when I went to Beijing and they built all these apartments, these tiny little apartments, and the journos were staying in them and then people who'd bought them were going to occupy them once the Games were over in this massive complex. And I was sharing this apartment, tiny apartment with two little bedrooms and a shared bathroom. And

And I got told that I was with this Lithuanian journo. And I'm going, this is a nightmare. Like, I'm at the Olympic Games. I don't want to share with some Lithuanian journo. How come I got that? Why can't I share with Crash Craddock or something? It's a nightmare. Brady's walked into the journo on the Brasco. No, but guess what? It was a woman. Lithuanian journo.

No show. Had the apartment to myself for the whole game. Deluxe. Pinky Riddell, deluxe. Happy days. Hang on, hang on. Was it the media village or the Olympic village? We know what happens in the Olympic village. It was the media village.

And nothing happens there. By the way, yes, play continues at Brookie. 14 all. 14 all Manly, St George, Illawarra. 11 minutes gone in the second half. Later this afternoon, Knights Panthers will call that one for you. Well, last night in the three games played, Roosters over Parramatta, 28 points to 18. Melbourne beat Warriors, 38-24. And the West Tigers over the Titans, 18 points to 10. Now, just quickly...

A ladder update thanks to Ducks Hot Water, built stronger to last longer. You plumbers, when you're heading out this week working at people's properties, get yourself a Ducks Hot Water system to install at your clients' residences or businesses. Following Saturday's results, Storm, the sole ladder leader, is on 24 points. The Roosters up to fifth on 18. The Warriors 12th.

Remaining on 15 points. The Eels are 15th on 10 points. Head of the Tigers and Titans who are also both on 10 points. And a judiciary update for Brighton's lawyers. Protecting your future when winning is all that matters. You need Brighton's lawyers on your side. Four charges out of last night. Two players facing suspension.

Dallin Mateni-Zelezniak for a careless high tackle on Grant Anderson. That was that off-the-ball tackle, wasn't it? Yep, that was an off-the-ball one, yep. So Dallin Mateni-Zelezniak's in trouble for that one. Kelmer Chualungi's copping four weeks on the sidelines for a dangerous throw. Spear tackle. On Lindsay Collins. Tipped him over and kept going. I think he was lucky to stay on, personally. Jarrod Brea Hargreaves, $3,000 fine for a careless high tackle on Sean Lane and Nafahu White.

Dangerous contact, $1,000 fine for an incident involving Ryan Madison. So we're up to date with that. And an injury report for Doop. Doop. Come on, do that again. Did you say Doop? I was going to say D-P. Doop. Doop.

The iconic brand you know and trust, Phil at work. Nothing to report Tigers, Titans or the Storm and the Eels. Rocco Berry, he left the field with a shoulder injury. He'll have some scans on that one. Roger Tuovasa-Shek was set to return from a hamstring injury.

he'll be back next week against the Titans. And Michael Jennings left the field early in the second half. He'll have some scans on a hamstring injury. So that's the latest information there. All right, we're up to date. Just quickly, Origin News. Looks like Latrell Mitchell will be in for the Blues. What happens with the halves? Will Mitchell Moses come in and partner Jerome Luai? This is what Andrew Johns had to say on the Sunday footy show.

Joey, Nico Hines, Mitch Moses, you're done with it. Mitch Moses is... Moses. He is your man? He's the halfback. And alongside, who's alongside him in the half? Me personally, I'd go Cody. Luttrell on the left side, Cody on the left, with Mitchell Moses. Purely the fact... Now, this has got nothing...

on Jerome's form, it's just combinations. I think Mitch Moses and Cody Walker complement each other far better than a Moses-Lewi combination. Alright, so Andrew Johns, the eighth immortal, weighing in on the Sunday footy show. Now, the Manly Sergals have only got 13 fit players. They've scored again here through Ben Trebojevic. So it's Manly 18, St. George-Illawarra 14. That's with a kick

to come, and that's after 14 minutes of play in the second half. We do that for Uber Reserve. So 18-14, Manly leading St. George Illawarra. Piggy, what have you got for us? I'll leave you off the back. I think it was one of our guys did text in earlier, mentioned about taping. Shane, it was Shane, sorry. Met him up at Magic Round. Shane mentioned about taping over his wedding video or DVD. And I was talking to the big man in the break that we just had. Yeah.

What a waste of money wedding videos are.

Now, I got married... How much do you reckon you paid? I reckon I would have paid... I don't know. I'd have to ask my wife. But I'd say it'd be 500 plus, I think it would have been. Oh, really? Oh, for sure. Easily. I've got 750 in my head. I've got 750 in my head. Easy. For a video. It's a long time ago. I'm going to tell you now, I don't think I've ever watched that video. And look, I hope my wife's not listening, but...

It doesn't really interest me watching that video again. Given the fact you've never watched it, I think it's a given that it doesn't interest me. Maybe the kids will watch it one day. But the kids have never watched it. My kids are, what, 13, 10 and 7. That's because they're 13, 10 and 7. We didn't get a video done. Lizzie and I got married...

Right. We got married at the bridal registry in Brisbane because Lizzie's father was very ill. So we just had only family there on the Wednesday. And then on the Saturday, we had the reception at Ricky's restaurant at Noosa where I booked out the restaurant and all my mates came and there was no wedding.

Like to go straight into it. Yeah, they got off the little boat and I was there with an Esky full of beer and they were all going, this is the best wedding we've ever been to. We didn't have to go through the ceremony. We didn't have to wait around while you got the stupid photos taken and find something to do and then bang into it. But we've got our kids, my daughters are 19 and 17. They've looked at the photos from our wedding.

They've looked at the photos. My 19-year-old would definitely have watched the video. We never got a video. I hired the Courier Mail sports photographer to take the photos. David Kaepernick. I got married here just up the road at St Mary's Cathedral in the crypt.

We got married. Oh, downstairs? Downstairs, yeah. How much did you have to sling the priest? Oh, I can't remember, but we did. That'd be 500. Yeah, that's at least that. Yeah, I think so. Well, I went to school there for a few years at St Mary's Cathedral College. And then we went, you know, the great Joey Elias. We went on one of his boats for the reception in the harbour. All occasion cruises. All occasion cruises, yeah. He looked after us there, so...

We had about 150 of us all there. Did you love the day or was it a bit overwhelming for you? No, no, no. Did you enjoy your wedding day? Yeah, I did. I enjoyed it, yeah. So once you get past, like Brittany was saying, once you get past the service and then obviously we went for photos.

Yeah, you would have gone for photos somewhere. Yeah, but I'm trying to think of where we went for photos. It would have been near the harbour somewhere. You're worried about the PH. It sounded like... We went for the pohotos. No, I was trying to remember where. I can't remember where we went to the photos. Oh, this isn't good for you. And then we met everyone because the boat actually docked right next to the opera house and everyone obviously boarded there and then we were the last ones to jump on. End up at a casino?

No, we ended up... What did we do? Well, actually, I know what we did, but we ended up just... We got off and everyone went out and then we went...

Got off. Where was your... Got off the boat. Where did you stay for your wedding night? Shangri-La at the top. Oh, yes, I know. Oh, yeah, yeah. Shangri-La. And what about... Because when you're the groom, you have to survive two things. The opening address from the MC and the best man's address. Did you come off second best? No, no, no. My best man was Glenn Hall, who played for the Seagulls and the Cowboys and...

A couple of other clubs. So he did the speech. He was good. Didn't get you too bad? No, it didn't get me too bad. And my oldest brother, Luke, he did the MC. Yeah. So he didn't stitch me up at all. How did he handle it? Was he a good MC? Yeah, he was good because my big thing on the wedding night and having been, sorry, the reception, and having been to so many weddings was I wanted to get all the formalities literally done by 7.30, 8 o'clock. So she's on, oh boy, like we're on, like.

Mate, you know how many weddings I've been to and I have to emcee? You do. And I try and keep myself under control until after the formalities and I'll get on the drink. The amount of rundowns you get and it's like, right, we're going to do this here, we're going to do this here, we're going to do this here.

I have to stay sober for most of the night. No, so we did it. That was one of the big things that I wanted. Enjoy yourself. Have a bit of fun. Got everyone into the room, did all the speeches early, had dinner, finished off with the first dance and everything, and then it was on. What was your first dance song?

It was a Jason Mraz song. I can't remember the title of it. But we ended up going to a part of the harbour and then I had fireworks come. Fireworks? This is an extravaganza. He's talking about flying. I think he did it during Vivid.

I was like, yes. That's when he got married. That's smart. That's when he got married. That's smart. Too smart. He said, look what I've put on for you here, everybody. Yes, I'm piggy, piggy. You're sure it wasn't New Year's Eve? Probably not. One of the two. Yeah.

Well, there's a message here, boys. It's currently in excess of $5,000 for a wedding photographer and almost as much for a videographer. Oh, yeah. And at least a couple of grand for a DJ. Well, Carly obviously looked after all that side of it, so I don't know the prices of that are too much. But I'm just going back to how we started. Never watched... I don't think I've ever watched the video. So would you say, given that you never watched the video, would you say to be...

Instead of having a complete wedding like traditional way, to just arrange it yourself? What do you mean? Just make it a bit of just a get-together sort of thing. Well, I'm glad the way we did it. It was a great day and night and everything like that, but I don't know if we needed to worry about having a videographer or if we did have a videographer. I don't know if you needed both. We had professional photographers. So 5K for a wedding photographer, 5K for a videographer. Yeah.

And DJs cost... Well, we had the boat, so it was good. It would have been included. And a DJ these days is a bloke with a laptop and a couple of speakers. Like two grand for that place. As long as they're playing good music. He's got Spotify hit and play. Well, I reckon there's some stories out there, gentlemen, of people who have paid massive overs for certain things and you sort of think to yourself, hello. Or you've been to somebody that's had an extravagant wedding. Well, even that off the back of that.

On my wedding day, the car that was supposed to pick the bridal party up for me, my bride like the boys, had engine troubles and didn't turn up. So we're all on the drink at my mum and dad's house and we're like, well, what are we going to do?

So the photographer that was there was taking photos. We just said, mate, you got room in your car. He goes, yeah. We go, we'll come with you then. So we all jumped in the photographer's car. Took us to the wedding. Did he charge you for that too? No, no. He was sweet. He was sweet. And, uh, and then we're away after that. All right. Well, what,

Panthers $1.27 and the Newcastle Knights at $3.80. Who are you tipping this afternoon, great man?

Yeah, look, I'm on the Panthers this summer. I really like the Panthers, but the Knights are a sleepy one for me as well. The Knights at home, they've had two rough losses. They're looking for a win, and the Panthers haven't been consistent the last few weeks. So they are a chance, but I'm still betting with my head. I'm sticking with the Panthers. They sit in the top of the table for a reason. They're a really good team. What about your Seagulls, George? They've just gone in again through Jake Trebojevic. They've only got 13 fit.

Well, this one, I've got the Panthers head-to-head. I've got Scott Sorensen, any time try-scorer, and Jerome Luai, any time try-scorer.

G'day, boys. Some stories about a wedding. I went to a wedding about probably 15 years ago now. It was my best mate's sister. Anyway, the chapel, they got married. There was lots of money involved on the groom's side. He was a Riverview boy. So the wedding was in the chapel there at Riverview College over Lane Coveway along the way.

Then while the bride and groom went and got photos, they decided to put all the wedding party on an hour and a half harbour cruise to the

to just get loaded up, drop us off at Sydney Rowers down at Abbotson where the reception was. The speeches went for that long and there was just alcohol just plied on every table. Next minute they said, oh, by the way, everyone, we've got a surprise for you outside so we all head out onto the balcony and everyone, I guarantee you're full as a state school. There's a barge with fireworks going off on it. Oh, wow. And we said, oh,

I said, geez, and we're just punters from the suburbs are thinking, how good is this? But there was lots of money from the father of the groom, I can tell you. But I tell you what, it was just not only the Harvard cruise for the first hour and a half, everyone was just...

you know, would have been half loaded. Into it. And then offloaded to the reception. And then they said, oh, we've got a barge at the end with fireworks. How good is that for a story at a wedding? Good on you, Rod. Thanks for the call, mate. 131873, the number. Michael's in Queensland. He says hubby came home from work to see his wife shouting at the TV, don't do it.

asked her what she was watching. She replied, our wedding video. David says, afternoon, fellas. This is David in Wollongong. Took my son out to get a Mark Hughes beanie. As soon as I heard Thirsty on the radio, what a great man. I'm with Piggy. Never have, never will watch my wedding video. If I could go back in time, wouldn't.

do it again from David in Wollongong. Thank you, David. Paul writes, hi, Mark, just on the wedding video, I play mine in reverse to make it a happy ending from Paul at Beacon Hill. Thank you, Paul. Jason's at Mascot. Hello, Jason.

Oh, you got a fellas at the chapel. We had about 50 people. We were married in Indonesia where my wife was born. Yeah, the chapel about 50 people at the reception just over 200 people. Well, you know, that's just I thought, oh, all right. I'll cop that on the chin. Even though some of these people I don't really know at all. Well, did they all agree?

It was on VHS. Got it all the way back to Sydney. I'm sitting down with the people who couldn't go overseas to the wedding, sitting down with the wife and the relatives, and right at the end of the release, there was this couple. I shook their hands. I said to my wife, who's that people in the video? And she was going through other relatives, and she said, well, I don't know those people. So she contacted her mum. Mum didn't know those people. Nobody ended up knowing these people. They crashed our wedding. LAUGHTER

The best thing was I was laughing about it. My in-laws obviously didn't understand, eh? I mean, I forked out everything for it. I might as well get a laugh out of it. But what I loved about it was that the man was dressed up in a nice suit. The lady had a nice dress on. They got a 10-course Chinese banquet free. And I mean, but I thought, you know, to be fair, they did dress up for the occasion. Good on them, you know? Yeah. So at least I got a laugh out of it at the end. It took it well. Yeah.

But, you know, all's well that ends well. And there's some couple out there, they'll never go hungry. They had a good time at your expense. You know what, I reckon that would happen. It does. 100%. You know yourself, I would say, you know, I did get married a long time ago, first time. But I reckon there were some people there who I didn't know. Did you reckon you knew everyone at your wedding? No, we made a sort of thing about making sure we knew everyone and everyone...

Yeah, knew each other. But I understand. There's people that went to my wedding that I probably don't talk to much about.

Yeah, but that always happens. But that happens. You know where it happened to me? What? The wake at my dad's funeral. I'm standing there talking to a bloke and his wife, and I'd had quite a few drinks. Obviously, mourning the death of your father. You know, talking about this and this and blah, blah, blah. At the end, I said, how do you know my dad? They went, who's your dad? I said, the bloke we're here mourning the passing of. They said, oh, no, we just thought there was a free drink on. You're kidding. So they were on the drink for about four hours. Are you serious? Yeah. Just walked into a wake.

Anyway, they were a good couple. Where was the wake? At a bowling club or something? No, I can't remember the name of the place. It was out west somewhere near to the... What, people just walk around the streets and go, hey, it looks like there's a free drink on in there. I can't believe it. I'm sure that does happen. Probably does. I'm sure it does. Anyway. There's some low lights. But they enjoyed the free beers. They were nice people to talk to, so I didn't blame them too much.

Anyway, 24-14. That's when you should have blown up, Levi. You don't want people just gate-crashing your father's plate. Mate, when they come into pronto thinking there's a free drink on, that's when you're going to blow up. By the way, the long lunch, $5,000 the bid is at the moment. If you'd like a long lunch with a continuous call team, the money will be going to the Mark Hughes Foundation. If you can beat a donation of $5,000, you'll win the long lunch with the continuous call team at the little restaurant that I'm opening. Anthony's in Wollongong. Hello, Anthony.

Hello, how are you? Good, thank you, buddy. Mine is a wedding video. My uncle, great man, decided he'd do the video for us for free. But when we finally got it, it was an hour long, we opened up, we saw ourselves probably for 15 minutes of the entire wedding. The rest was about his daughters, how well they went. And at the end of the video, he took us for a tour of the bushland and the mining pit he used to work in.

So we added that all into the video footage for us. We thought it was very good and very helpful, but we still don't know what happened at the wedding. He just decided to video whenever he wanted to video. Outstanding. Thanks, Anthony. Appreciate the call. Back around the grounds, Uber Reserve, 24-14. Manly leading St. George, Illawarra, 12 to play in the second half. 24-14, Manly leading St. George, Illawarra. Patrick, Mick,

Tracey, stay there. All those text messages we'll get to in just a second. You're listening to the Continuous Call Time. All I wanted in retirement was to feel confident with my money.

Yeah, kick-off at McDonald Jones Stadium, about 25 minutes away, and it's a good time to reserve your Uber ride for the footy with Uber Reserve. Reserve now, ride later with Uber Reserve. That's if you're listening to us in Newcastle, for obvious reasons. But if you're heading home from Manly, you can book yourself an Uber using Uber Reserve as well. 24-14, Manly leading St. George and Lawara. Nine minutes left in the second half. That's as we take you around the grounds. Patrick is in Canberra. Hello, Patrick.

Good afternoon, boys. How are you? Very well, thank you, mate. What have you got for us, bud? That's good. Oh, well, I got married earlier this year, but before that we were going to some of the wedding expos, and I'm a bit of a tight bloke myself, so as the missus and now mother-in-law were wandering around looking at things, I was signing up to win all the freebies, and I got a phone call and I'd won a $2,500 wedding video. I thought, geez, that's pretty good.

Anyway, and the bloke then went on to say that, yeah, I've just got to pay the rest of the $10,000 and he'll come film my wedding video. How does that work? That's what I thought. So it was a $12,500 wedding video. That's a roar. Roar on that. That's a roar. That's a roar. Can you give the details to Greeny, mate, please? He'll be there next week. I'm going to bounce that guy for a current affair. Yes.

Good on you, Patrick. Thanks for the call, mate. They're in again here, Manly. 28-14. Manly leading St George-Lawara. That's with a kick to come. 131873 the number. 2GB.com. Click onto the feedback icon if you would like to join us. So they're going to get home at

Brookie on a Sunday with 13 players on the field. That was some sort of try at the end there. I mean, Cherry Evans once again. Look at him. Look at the vision he's got here. They throw the ball to Cherry Evans. The Dragons are short. They all come in. There's a gap out wide for the winger who just kicks it straight through and he picks it up and scores. I mean, that's brilliant play from Cherry Evans. Yep. 28-14. Kick to come. Sir Manly home in this game against St George Illawarra. 1-3-1-8-7-3 the number. Tracey is at Sunnybank. Hello, Trace. Hi, how are you going? Good, thank you.

Good, good. Yeah, so we, many years ago, lost a family member and we thought we'd show our kids, they were probably 10 or 12, and we'd show our kids our wedding video. So we were getting into it and we're like, oh, you know, this is so on and this is so on. And then all of a sudden...

what popped up next was Crocodile Dundee. Someone taped over it. It was taped over. Don't forget to pop out those tabs at the top of the video. At least it was a classic. Yeah, it's a great show. I would have kept watching. One of Australia's greatest movies ever. Good on you, Trace. Thanks for the call. And Mick's at Clear Mountain in Queensland. Hello, Mick. How are you going, mate? Good, thank you, buddy.

Yeah, I just... It never made it to the wedding video. But one time, well, when I got married, we had this big elaborate wedding at North Stradbroke Island, St Amity Point there on the beach. It was a beautiful day. Everything went to plan.

And then, yeah, just at the end of it, after we'd signed the nuptials, a heap of guys came past on a prawn trawler and mooned everyone. It made the wedding. Everyone just cased up. It was such fun. LAUGHTER

Queenslanders. Yeah, yeah. Amity's at the Northern End of Australia. They've come in between Stratty and Morton, the old prawn trawler. Cop this. Saw a bit of Morton. Cop this. Exactly.

Exactly. Thank you, Mick, for the call, mate. Team, you never advertise wakes, et cetera, in papers with funeral announcements. People do scour the papers to work out where they can go for a free feed and a drink. I kid you not. That one from Jason. Craig says, Levy, what's the best stitch-up at a wedding? Mine was a, I was blindfolded, had to remove the garter with my teeth. Turns out it was my best man wearing it. That one from Craig. Kaz says, married 42 years ago and the best man was playing tricks.

giving me too much to drink. I do recall inviting everyone back to room 618 of the airport Hilton. Thankfully, they didn't come from Kaz. Thank you, Kaz. Another one here. My mate's wedding that I was best man for, we realised two hours before the wedding that all the groomsmen had different ties.

He just liked the tie on the rack and grabbed all five of them without looking at the rest of them. We drove to Lowe's to get new ties, and the lady was asking, what's the occasion? We said it's for his wedding. She said, congratulations, when is the wedding? We replied in an hour. She didn't believe us. LAUGHTER

At Lowe's. Very good. And as a bridesmaid, it was great to get back and watch the memories with the bride and groom the next day. We all sat around with the family to watch as we missed so much of it. So much is happening on the day. Well, that is the thing. I mean, your wedding day, it's pretty chaotic, isn't it? You're saying hello to everybody and you're mingling with people. So I can understand you doing that. Well, now that we've spoken about it, I'm going to have to...

You don't know where it is? Well, first of all, I don't know where it is, but I think Carly would obviously know. And you don't have a VHS? No, it's on DVD. 2009. Yeah, it's on DVD. But I don't have a DVD player. Yeah, well, you've just got to get it converted over onto a little USB stick and away you go. Where do they do that, Brainy? I think I've asked this before. If you Google it, there'll be someone somewhere near you that does it. Does it cost much?

No. You wouldn't think so, would you? Just convert it over and save it all? Yeah, you do it at USB stick places. I've got to convert all the... Mate, if you're up for a new contract, you're going to have to do better than that. Yeah, that's where you go. You go to USB stick places. I'm not worrying about it because Tom's out at the moment anyway. He's listening. He just texted me. I'll tell you what I'll do. During first half of the footy, when I'm out there watching the footy and doing nothing, I'm going to find...

A conversion place for Piggy's wedding video. And get onto the bloke in Canberra that got stitched up 12 grand. Well, he's going to get stitched up for a current affair. That's right. And also, I know behind me here is McDonald's Interactive Studio and they're our sponsors and everything. I truly believe next time we're in studio, Piggy's wedding video should just be running. Ha, ha, ha.

On the screen, so people at home, oh, yeah, there's Piggy in the background. You know what? That's a great idea. I'll bring it in. That's a great idea, Brady. We'll just run it the whole way through. On loop. And when Piggy's standing there next to his bride and his swagger, he had too many beers in that photographer's car. Hey, tell me this also. Is it normal for the priest to go back to the reception? No. No, it's not normal? No. I went to a wedding, and the priest was best on ground on the drink.

He was having that much fun dancing and having a good time and all that sort of thing. And I went up to him at the end of the night and said, mate, you are best on ground. He said, I love these people. I'd like to join in the party. I said, good on you, champion. He had an unbelievable time. So there you are. We're off to a break. We'll come back with more.

Back around the grounds, 30 points to 14, Manly leading St. George of Lewara. Two minutes left in the second half. And look, Piggy, there's a few blokes blowing up on the text line because the discussion about watching your wedding video has prompted a lot of their wives to say to them, we're going to sit down and watch our wedding video this week. Well, I'm actually texting Carly right now asking where my wedding video is because now I'm like, well, you know what, I might actually watch it.

I had no intentions of ever watching it, but she said it's in the garage somewhere. What about Mitch? Thanks, fellas. My next Saturday has been organised. Guess what I was just told? We should watch our wedding video. Perhaps we can have a date night Saturday. I mean, fair dinkum. What's the long lunch bid at? I'll make it 50K if we can make it next Saturday.

You know, Levi, we're talking about playing a video of Piggy's wedding in the background. But my wife and I know Graham Blundell, the Australian actor, and he's a writer and everything, and obviously famously starred, you know, in the nude in Alvin Purple back in the 1970s. Anyway, we went to... It was about 20 years ago. We went to his 50th birthday. It might have been his 60th birthday. And it was up on the Central Coast, and it was in a big hall and everything, Saturday afternoon.

And one of the things was you never said to Graham, oh, you know, what was it like to get your kid off in Alvin Purple? Because he was famous as being in Alvin Purple. And it was like, I read his party, don't mention him. And we walked into the hall and he had a massive white video screen with

And Alvin Purple played on repeat from the start of his party to the end of the party. It was just like everyone thought you couldn't talk. He didn't give a rat. So, yeah, his party got up. There he is in Alvin. Oh, Graeme, you've got nothing on up there. Oh, well, that's all right, guys. Hilarious. Have you ever been to, and, you know, speaking of that, have you ever been to a wedding where there's been a celebrity there that may be from the entertainment industry that gets asked to sing or, you know, do anything along those lines?

See, I was due to go to a wedding that Guy Sebastian was supposed to go to. Oh, yeah. But he ended up not coming with his wife, Jules, I think her name is. Yeah, yeah. Because he was crook. And everyone was expecting him to sing, so everyone was pumped. Oh, yeah. But he couldn't turn up because he was crook. And I thought, imagine that, having like a well-known person performing at your wedding. That'd be pretty cool. That'd be cool. Very cool. That would be good. Well, you expect them to perform. What if they...

Probably weren't asked as well, but they would expect it, wouldn't they? Something, even a cameo. Sometimes they just want to sit at table 20 and drink piss and relax. That's what I want to do. Well put. Well put. Near the toilets down the back. Close to the dunnies. Well, it's like we get invited to weddings and what do we get? Expected to talk.

Yeah, yeah. It's like I go to a funeral now. I have to do eulogies because they know I can speak. Oh, you'll be able to speak. I said, I'm just as upset as everybody else. I know.
