The Continuous Call Team – Full Show Saturday 10th August 2024 02:44:04

Now, live, right across Australia, the continuous Colt team. They keep going, last tackle, Debellen hands it on, straightening up as Penhart throws!

He's got Sewell in his right pocket. And Sewell goes in to score. With Mark Levy, Daryl Broman, Paul Gallen and Mark Riddell. So when you're a breaker, Daryl, you're a B-boy. B-boy. B-boy. You ever done some breaking in your day, Big Mark? Breaking? I've broken a few things. Still doing it. Here's one for you, Galbo. LAUGHTER

Brenda, a very important question. Can we film this? What are you wearing whilst doing this particular dance? That would depend on the grief. So how much... Well, we wanted as grief as possible. When you said can-can, I wasn't thinking about the dance. Live sport and laughter right across your weekend. I'll be honest, I usually enjoy watching people work. No, I didn't. Because...

I do. So what do you really like about a stop-go person in their job? I like when they do it properly. I like when they're on the... When they're on the bike, that's Madison. When they're into their job, they see the cars coming, stop, hand up, walkie-talkie to make sure the other end stops slow. I enjoy that. You know what they do? They start singing Spiceville songs. Stop that now. Thank you very much. I need somebody with a human tongue.

The Continuous Call Team. Thanks to Maccas, Harvey Norman, Ram Trucks, Ducks Hot Water, All.com, Bryden's Lawyers, Uber, Lowe's, 1-800-GOT-JUNK, Westpac and Coles. Picked up by Papenhausen. Oh, cover defense. Beautiful by Ben Hunt. What's happened? There's Ben down. What's happened? Gallant's bit the dust. Gallant's down. He was trying to pirouette around.

I'm okay. I'm okay. I'm okay. What happened there, Paul? I got excited. I put my hands back and went back and just went straight off the back. Will you fools be quiet? I'm trying to listen to referee Grant Atkins. This is dramatic stuff. The track is being touched on the right side.

And now on 2GB Sydney, 4BC Brisbane and network stations across Australia, it's time for the Continuous Call Team. Ah yes, good afternoon ladies and gentlemen, welcome along to the Continuous Call Team. Another Saturday afternoon from the McDonald's Interactive Studio. Fair bit happening in Rugby League, including an NRLW match that's underway as we speak. 14 minutes left in the first half in Canberra.

and it's the Raiders up 8-0 over the Cronulla Sharks. 8-0 the score, Raiders leading Cronulla as we take you around the grounds. The Telegraph today reporting that the Bears are making their return. Red, black and black is the headline. Victory at last, Western Bears' new NRL team. And the story goes that after months of negotiations...

North Sydney and Western Australian bid team officials have signed off on a deal to resurrect the famous brand in the NRL. Now, it's understood the parties and the agreement between them...

is an adaption of the Bears logo, one heritage match in New South Wales with the hope it will be against arch rivals Manly. The match could be played at North Sydney Oval, Allianz Stadium or on the Central Coast where they will wear a traditional North Sydney jersey. The main colours will be red, white and black. However, there will be a tinge of yellow too, which again pays homage to the former Reds outfit. The Reds have their own heritage jersey.

a pre-season game at North Sydney Oval and the North Sydney Bears to remain the main feeder club to the New South Wales Cup. Now, that's all well and good. The agreement has been done, but that obviously needs to be ratified by the ARL Commission as a new team to enter the competition. And the mail is that this Western...

Western Bears concept will come in prior to that PNG side, which is still a few years away. So good news for North Sydney Bears supporters. I must admit, though, talking to a few people I know in Perth, they want ownership of this and they would prefer it to be called the Perth Bears. But I will support it either way because I think having the Bears back in the competition...

is a great thing for the game and a great thing for all of their supporters. So it will grow and grow, and we'll get the boys' thoughts on all of that shortly. Look, the other news out of the NRL involves the St. George Illawarra Dragons, and it appears Shane Flanagan is on this recruitment drive. He's travelled to Townsville this week in a bid to secure Val Holmes, as up to five clubs looked to sign him. It's understood that Flano flew to Townsville earlier this week, while the rest of the Dragons squad had a day off ahead of tonight's clash with the Bulldogs.

So who knows? Maybe Valentine Holmes could be linking up with Shane Flanagan at the St. George Illawarra Dragons beyond this year. Now, in the NRL played so far, Thursday night, Melbourne stormed 28, South Sydney 16. Friday night, 44-0. Sharks were good against the Titans.

And, well, the resurrection of the Penrith Panthers, the revival in that second half as Nathan Cleary orchestrated their 36-34 win. Heartbreak for Parramatta out there at Combank Stadium. Three games today, Raiders, Sea Eagles, Cowboys, Broncos, and then the big one tonight at Coggera between the Dragons and the Bulldogs. We'd love to hear from you, 131873. You can email us via the websites...

And you can text us as well, 0460 873 873. Let's welcome the team. The big man is here, ready to rock and roll, Darrell Broman. A very good afternoon to you. Levy, good afternoon to you, Piggy, Gal, all our listeners. Levy, how's your week been? Have you got enough sleep? Are you okay? Ready to rock and roll, big man. Excellent. Great work from you. I think the rugby league so far this week has been pretty good. Storm v Bunnies, it was an okay game on Thursday night, I thought. Nothing out of the box. I thought the Sharks and Titans, the Sharks played really well today.

I think it's hard to judge because the Titans might have been awful. I don't know if they made a line break in the whole game. They were really never in the game. The Sharks played really well. They defended well. They found some attack, which they haven't had for a little while, and they were good. And the last game, stop it. What a performance. Seriously, it was a great game of football. Even though I must admit, I did go to bed at halftime and I listened to the continuous call team. Chris Warren has become, well...

I would say the biggest mock in the history of rugby league. And I think you may have nailed that, Piggy, by calling him that. What did he say? Well, he just said, well, they're home here. Oh, no. 14-0. He said, 14 in front or whatever. He said, they can't lose. He said, they're home, the Eels. They're home, the Eels. Oh, no. And then my friend Piggy here, the voice of reason, sitting next to him says, Chris, Chris, Chris, please don't ever say that. Not when they're playing the Panthers. Yes. And this great man was right once again. I must admit, I feel a bit for them, but...

You know, they probably brought it on themselves. I watched a bit of the second half, the highlights, and it was just phenomenal. Nathan Cleary, I mean, who do you want in a clutch situation? No one more than him. Because there was a clutch one there for Clint Gutherson. He's an outstanding player, but he's not in the same stratosphere when it comes to Nathan Cleary. Cleary kicks his, which was kickable, but it wasn't that easy a kick to put them in front, and then Gutherson gets a chance right at the end and

You know, he stuffed it up, basically. So it's been a great weekend so far, and it's going to get even better. Today's football is just phenomenal. I can't wait for the three games today. I'm looking forward to your call with Chris later on today, too. Oh, me too. Yeah, me too. Well, mate, I hope he doesn't bring me down to his level. What do you mean? Well, look, the thing is this, Levy, and I'm going to put you on the spot straight away here now. Right. If he continues to stuff up like he did last night, he's doing two games tonight, right? Mm-hmm.

I think we got Darren Flindell on call in case he stuffs the first one up. Yeah.

Darren will be finished. After ten races. He'll be finished from the racing at, what, six o'clock? Probably half past five. It gets dark about then. How dare you? Chris will be great. He's a seasoned broadcaster, resident weirdo, and he'll be fine. Did you listen to him last night? No. Can I jump in here? Good afternoon, Mark. Afternoon, Piggy. Good afternoon, Gal, Big Mar, and to our listeners. Just don't ask him for anything about math. Why's that? Because last night during the call he said,

Yes, and Nathan Cleary, 1,500 points, 1,500 career points. He lines up this conversion. It sails through the post, 1,509 points. Nathan Cleary. I just looked at him and said, excuse me? That's a G up. 100%.

That's got to be a G. J-Mods and I looked at each other and went, and he goes, what, what, mate? I'm about to sit here and tell you back the bloke. It's Gally, by the way. Good afternoon, everybody. Afternoon, Paul. I'm about to back the bloke and say he's great. I want to hear this. We'll have to dig it up. We'll have to dig it up. There's more. Let's not forget when he went to the West Tigers, they were struggling. Now they're clearly last.

I listen to you, buddy. Leave the poor bloke alone. We're supposed to be on the team. It's every man for himself. Poor old Chris. Where would he be now? He's probably on a dating app somewhere. He's in the sauna. Are you allowed to go on dating apps? Whenever you want. Hang on. Whenever you want. While we're carving up, Chris Warren, I did hear a story about a sauna. Can you relay this? Am I allowed to tell it? Of course you are. So, Chris, I don't know when it was. At some stage through the night, he said...

I just finished some swimming and went and had my usual sauna. He said, you know, like where I live over in Manly, there's usually some really attractive looking women that use the sauna. He said, I went in there, I was on my own and next minute...

Man walked in the size of Big Man in his butchers. What's wrong with that? Nothing. So he sat down and he said he was like a different nationality. Like, I'm not sure what nationality he was. Foreigner. A foreigner. And he walked in and...

Chris obviously said hello, but Chris realised that this man's, both his nipples were pierced with bull rings. Oh, yeah. And for anyone that uses saunas, all the girls and everything, you obviously take all your jewellery off because it gets too hot in there. And he said...

Chris went over to him and said, hey, buddy, are you going to be all right with those things? Are they going to get a little hot? And he said, I like the pain. Yeah.

I like the party. Chris had to get out of there straight away. I reckon he got out. He might have stuck around. He might have stuck around to test him out. He got his number. How are you, Paul? I'm going good, thanks, guys. How about... I'll tell you what I mean more of Nathan Cleary. I spoke to him before the game last night. I said, mate, you're out for 10 weeks. You've been back for three weeks. You kick a 40-odd-metre field goal to win the game. You score a hat-trick the week after. Last week, you scored the match-winning try. What have you got in store for us tonight? I don't know.

He said I wasn't happy about certain parts of my game the last few weeks. And I said, okay. Anyway, sure enough, a few minutes to go on the clock, he gets a kick 20 metres in from touch, 15, 20 metres in from touch, whatever it was, and just nails it to put them in front. And then obviously they went on to win the match. Look, I played against Andrew Johns at the back end of his career. Obviously, Cooper Cronk, Jonathan Thurston, two of the best I've played with or seen. Darren Lockyer.

I'm in awe of this bloke and what he's doing at 26 years of age to have won three premierships already, to play the way he plays and to be able to do the things he does. All them guys I just mentioned, as great as they were, I don't think they've done what he's doing consistently like he can do it. Every single week he comes up for clutch play. That's four weeks in a row he's come up for clutch play at an extremely important moment in the game to win the match. He's just a genius at 26 years of age. I can't believe it.

So you're saying he's better than them? I don't know how much better he can get. Well, look, I'm saying all them guys I mentioned are stars. Probably there's probably two or three immortals amongst them. I just, I don't remember seeing them guys be as, in the heat of the moment. As dominant consistently. Consistently. Dominant. Dominant at the right moment of the match. When you need it. When you need it. They were absolute superstars then, Blakes, but...

Like, this is four weeks in a row. That's... I think even Joey and Ned have admitted it at the same age. You know what the great thing about him is, too? He doesn't appear to have an ego. No. It's just what you see this week, you see the same next week, the same the week after. You know, there's no lair about him, is there? I'm not saying the other blokes had that about him, but to be that good, you've got to have some little edge, I reckon. You've got to be a bit different, and I think they probably all knew how good they were, all those blokes, but...

But he is just a great player. Well, this is how it unfolded last night with the match-winning try and Nathan Cleary's performance. Mavgaia plays the ball. Now they shift it out to the right. Here's Dave Lurie again. He opens them up. Lurie comes to the fullback. He's got support in Tungor. Tungor's been tagged. Tungor scores. Tungor scores. I cannot believe it.

34 points apiece. Cleary, ice in his veins. Cleary steps up, strikes it sweetly over the black dot. They have picked themselves up off the canvas and the Panthers are now in front by two. Yeah, Chris Warren calling it all last night. So what a finish it was. And just on Chris's math,

And lack of understanding of points. This was the audio from last night. I've just been given it. This will put the Panthers ahead by two. 15 out from half time or thereabouts on the all.com clock. 20 metres out. 1,505 career points. Cleary, make that 1,509. Yeah! Are they giving four points for penalty goals? There you go. Good, aren't I?

You said 1,505 points. He kicks the goal. He kicks the goal and he said, now 1,509. I'll tell you the best thing he did, he just played on. He just played on. He didn't care. He just had to try and get straight over it.

And he thought that we weren't going to pick him up on it. He's got a big afternoon coming up. He'll be pooping himself at the moment. He said, not again. I don't have to go in there with those guys again. I suppose if I want to earn some money, I'd better get there. He reckoned the nipple rings were paying.

Gentlemen, I made mention of this back page story of the Telegraph about the Bears making a return, the Western Bears, obviously waiting to be rubber stamped by the ARL Commission and everything else. What are your thoughts, boys? We've got plenty of Bears supporters. James Bracey, our colleague from Channel 9, I think is still their number one ticket holder. What are your thoughts? Love it. I'm the same. Great. I was sad when they went, and I think it's great that they're coming back. I know it's not in the purest of Bears form, but I think you're right.

When you say, I think they need to really think about what they're going to call themselves. I think the Perth Bears has a good ring to it. You know, as you said, the Western Reds are still going to be part of it, I think, in some way, shape or form. So they obviously want to use the name Western. But I think Perth has got to... I just like it. I think if you're living in Perth or WA, you're going to, I think, you know...

go towards that name as opposed to the Western bit. But anyway, they'll work that out. I like it. That's my concern. Look, I'm glad they're back and I hope it works. I'm hopeful, but I'm sort of agree with what Big Man's trying to say there is that I think if you're going to have a team, they should be where their base from is where they should come from. So the Bears are obviously a Sydney-based side. They're going to have supporters here. I know they've already got a bit of a supporter base following them and everybody likes them, but

How much of the Perth people are going to jump on board, we'll have to wait and see. And as I said, I'm hopeful that it works. So fingers crossed. And it makes sense, Piggy, in the sense that the PNG thing is going to take a little while to set up. So if the commission is intent on expanding the competition, well, this is a ready-made organisation that will obviously get the foundations in place. We've already seen that there's an appetite for rugby league in the West. But with the people I've spoken to in Perth, people I know that love their rugby league,

the word ownership is what keeps being said to me we want ownership of the team the western bears doesn't really give us that ownership they'd prefer it to be called the west the perth yeah that's obviously that's one of the details they're going to have to work on but i love it um you know we want to be known as a national game and i think we need to have a team over there i think there is a supporter base there for it um there will be a lot of work to do but one of

of the things we've spoken about on this program previously about PNGs, the ability to try and attract players. Well, I don't think we're going to have as

difficult situation with Perth. They're going to be obviously based over there. I don't think it's going to be as difficult to get players to go there as what it may be going to PNG in a few more years' time. So I like it as long as they put the foundations in place and development systems. I think their feeder club is still going to be the North Sydney Bears and they're still going to be based here. So

Logistically, it's going to be interesting. Logistically, it would be a little bit tough, I think. But they already have, talking about pathways and junior development programs, already have that set up over there. That's a positive already. There it is. Who would have an issue with being called the Perth Bears? But where would the issue come from there, Marcus? They want Western for a bit of a tip of the hat to Western Reds. So I think that's what it is. They've got the Bears from North Sydney and they've got the Western Reds. Yeah, I understand. But I just don't understand why it can't be called the Perth Bears.

Bears. I think they need to think about it. I think they need to work it out to get it right at the start. The Western Reds have had their time. They're gone, in my opinion. They failed, so to speak. I'd be going to the Perth Bears every day of the week. I think the other thing, as a player...

If you've got an offer to go over there, and let's say you had a young family, for example, it'd be a bit cheaper to live over there too. It'd be something to consider, I reckon. If you're a young bloke, say 21, you go over there, sign a five-year deal or something, buy a place. It's a nice place to live over there. It's a big move, but it's not that bad. I've worked with Carl Langdon over the last couple of weeks on our Olympic coverage. He goes good too. He co-hosts the Breakfast Show on 6PR in Perth.

And some of the stories he's told about where he goes fishing and what you can do over there. It sounds like a beautiful place to live. Yeah, it is. It's a lovely place over there. They've got petrol and everything over there. They've got a lot of stuff. And also, it opens up time slots as well, doesn't it? There'll be a rugby league on TV.

Yeah, all the time. From 2 o'clock in the afternoon to 9.30, 11.30 at night. Can I just ask how you remember it being such a really nice place, given that you were at MIA for 24 hours when we went there for Origin? That was one occasion in Perth. Do you know why he knows that? Because the great man, David Morrow, he used to go over there and call it for the ABC, didn't he? Yes. Or Channel 10 or whoever it was. He told us a lot of stories. He'd get on the train. Get on the train. Just get off at a stop. He'd just stop, look at a river.

Come back on. Get some ants and look at them for about three days and just come home. And he'd get on the drink for the eight-hour flight. Mate, I've actually spent a little bit of time over there with our great mate, Sully. Ah, yeah. When Sully was living over there years ago when I first retired, we were doing a lot of stuff for the NRL over there. So I actually got an opportunity, not only in Perth, but I got a chance to go up north to the, what is it? Is it the Pilbara?

Yeah, Pilbara. It'll go all the way up there and down south as well. I loved it. I thought it was beautiful. There's a lot of sharks there, though. I don't suggest swimming. What? In the Pilbara? Not in Perth itself, but in the... In the oceans. In the oceans. There's a lot of Noahs over there. Do you think there's more Noahs on that side of Australia than this side of Australia? Yeah. Why is that? Because it's easy pickings over there. You can't say that. It's a long way to swim over here. LAUGHTER

Once you're over there and settled... Oh, we've got to investigate this. Once you're over there and settled, it's a long way to swim to get over here. We're underway. Circumnavigate, hello. We'll circumnavigate. Yeah, well, you've got to get over this side. You can't get over on a car if you're a shark.

They've got to swim. Do they go? What way do they go? They go north way. No, they don't go down. They go south. They go south. No, it's warmer north. Nah, they worry about the crocs. Yeah, they worry about the cold water, mate. Yeah, it's north. There's no way they're going north. They've got to get past the crocs going north. How many crocs are there in the ocean up there? There's heaps. Everywhere. See, there's another reason not to go up there. What? Easy pickings. Jeez, I don't think WA Tourism will be ringing big money anytime soon. We'll take a break. Be back with more.

NRLW updates thanks to of course all.com 8-0 Canberra leading Cronulla as we take you around the grounds Mark Levy, Mark Riddell, the big man Darryl Broman and Paul Gallen on this Saturday afternoon Well what about last night? We've just been talking about it Nathan Cleary and the Panthers 36-34 They stormed home to beat the Parramatta Eels out there at Combank Stadium to break the hearts of the blue and gold supporters Lindsay Smith is one of their superstar players and he's on the line Hello Lindsay

Hey, how are we? Good, mate. What about that for a win last night? Talk about a nice way to make it five in a row and you, like I say, broke the hearts of the Eels. Yeah, yeah. I guess never sort of want to put yourself in that situation too often, but obviously it was good to come over the top and, yeah, pretty surreal. Hey, Lindsay, what was Ivan like at full time? You know, I'm assuming, obviously, he'd be happy with the way you forged that comeback late in the game, but...

Defensively, the way Parramatta were able to score so many points, what was he like? Yeah, obviously, over the course of the season, he sort of mentioned you've got to find ways to win. Two points is two points at the end of the day. But obviously, over the next couple of days, as we'll do our video on that, there's a lot of stuff in that game that I'm sure we won't be happy with. So, yeah, there'll be a lot to take out of it. But at the end of the day, you've just got to find ways to win, and we're lucky enough to do that.

No, Lindsay, sorry. I was on the sideline last night. Casey McLean was pretty close, man. He's 18 years of age. He's an absolute beast. How good can he be, you think? Yeah, he's pretty special. He's pretty freaky. He's quite big and he's very quick for a young kid. So obviously got his older brother, Jesse. When he come into the squad this year, everyone sort of throughout the preseason was like, oh,

He sort of can see where this kid's going to go. So he could be anything, I reckon. He's got a good temperament on him and he's a hard worker too. So, yeah, he's pretty special and I can't wait to see what the next few years holds for him. Look, for an A-team, for a bloke who's 18 years of age, he actually reminded me a lot of Stephen Crichton. I mean, Stephen Crichton's only 22 or 23, but he's got that tight build.

Yeah, 100%. He's got that tall and he's actually pretty strong now, but I'm sure he'll fill out even more, sort of like Critter did over his first couple of years of NRL. So,

He could be scary in a couple of years, which is obviously pretty exciting. Lindsay, I'm big on nicknames of players, and I notice your nickname's Larry. Is there any reason for that? That's thanks to Tyrone May. During the COVID period, we bought a basketball hoop just to play around training. Very good.

Yeah, I wasn't playing much footy at the time, so I was just in there just shooting to sort of kill time here and there. So that's where the nickname come from, and it just sort of stuck, and yeah. So you're good at basketball? Not very. I wouldn't say that. Just, yeah. So a lot of the, mate, look, I'm a former front rower. A lot of us front rowers were very good at basketball in our day. Where were you good at basketball? Mate, you look like a basketball. LAUGHTER

Why are you so aggressive, you three? I'm talking to my friend Larry, you all right? Listen, but hang on. If you're going to declare you're a great basketball player, take me through when you were a great basketball player. Well, before I played footy. So you could shoot hoops. Yes, I thought I could. So you are suggesting front rowers in rugby league are just ready-made basketballers. You know what my nickname used to be? What? Three-point big bar.

Three centimetre, big man. Sorry, John Holtz. Sorry for this, Lindsay. I'm sorry to put you through this on your day off, mate. So are you good at three-pointers? I try, I try. Good on you, mate. Talk to us about Nathan Clearer. I mean, we're all in awe of what he does. I mean, just to be in a team alongside him, can you give us a bit of an insight into his performance last night and what he did to help get you home?

Yeah, he's obviously a pretty special player. And, yeah, just even looking back at last year's grand final, like what he did in those 20 minutes, I still can't believe it, to be honest. And, yeah, I guess obviously having a bit of time out this year, yeah,

You watch him do his rehab and I've never seen someone that's so diligent in everything he does. You just sort of know he's going to come back better each time. The last three weeks, and especially last night as well, he's just been on another level, I think. He gives everyone confidence around him, just has that sort of aura about him. The dominance he has on the field just sort of takes everyone by storm, I guess. It's pretty special to

sort of play alongside what could be one of the greatest players of all time. So, yeah, just trying to soak that up. Good on you, mate. Well, you're playing an important role in that team as well. And who knows, there might be another premiership coming the Panthers way this year, given the way you're tracking and ready for another crack at finals footy in 2024. Good on you, mate. Enjoy your day off and thanks for taking some time out to join us here on the Continuous Call, Tane.

Thank you. Thanks, guys. That's Lindsay Smith, three-point Smith Larry, we call him, off the back of Big Man. Doesn't he sound like a good fella? He does. And I'm impressed the front rower using the word diligent. Very impressive. Just because you're a front rower doesn't mean you're dumb, mate. You know?

Some of us go there because we're built that way. You know? You with me there, Gav? Yeah, yeah. Well, you weren't really a front row. A little bit tougher than everyone else. Yeah, I'm not sure about that. You were more a second row, weren't you? I was everywhere. Gav's nickname wasn't tough, it was Punish.

I beg your pardon? That's not true. I've spoken to a few of your former teammates. Get out of here. And listen, while we're at it, what about the manufactured, let's get the photograph of myself giving Chad Townsend a hug last week? Oh, yes. I promise I was going to. That was just beautifully done by you. You know what else I've noticed? I'm not big on the social media, but I log on to Instagram a bit and I see Gal post stuff about himself all the time. Yeah.

The first person to like it, Chad Townsend. Mate, it's just a... It's now a love fest. It's a love fest. I can tell you now that was not manufactured at all. It's a love fest. Love fest. Mate, I hadn't seen him. I hadn't shook his hand. Last time I went to shake his hand, he wouldn't shake it, so I was off him. So I saw him on the field. I said, hey, Chaddy. And next second, the camera's gone bang for your head.

I promise you I'd turn my back and walk straight away. I said, we'll chat later. If it wasn't for us, Leichhardt Oval, this would never have happened. Probably. But I text him later. I said, mate, if I knew it was going to be this much carry on, we should have earned a dollar out of this. I'm going to credit you, Daryl. Thank you. You're the man who gets people together. I was shocked by it. You do count to me. I do count to you. Yeah. But look...

I don't know how to bring this up, Levy. You're going to. I had a chat with Gil before we came on air today and there's an issue at home with his missus. You know how he's a Saturday specialist. It's gone. Those days are over. 131873, the number. Break back with more. I'll tell you about a brand new sponsor in just a moment. 8-0 the score. Canberra leading Cronulla for All.com NRLW. Second half in the second half.

is underway. 8-0 the score Canberra leading Cronulla as the Raiders go in again. So they now lead by 12 points to nil. That's with a kick to come. 12-0 kick to come as we take you around the grounds for all.com Hi guys, Glenn here from Young. Will you be having the bowls day again? I've already pre-booked accommodation in Cronulla in hope. Yeah, I think we will. To be honest I haven't had a chance to organise anything as yet but given the success of the last couple of years we probably will go down there to Tarrant Point again and

We'll see what we can do. Obviously subject to approval from our bosses and the team down there at Tarrant Point. I'm the reigning champion too. Oh, yeah, that's right. You did beat me. It was quite a shock to me last year. I was a bit down after that. So I went in and just went and got on the drink, played the pokies. Bev fell off the pool. Was that last week? Poor old Bev was a mess. Don't bring it up. She was probably listening. Sorry, Bev. She's embarrassed by it.

Me and Joan wanted to get her fall home. It was a much different noise when she fell. You know when you watch somebody fall? I was on the poker machine about three away. When she fell, it was just too late, but it was like watching her fall in slow motion. Oh, no. And then watching Daryl try and help pick her up. Were you laughing while you were helping? No, Daryl was concerned. I was trying to double up, go the Reds.

You're in a run, were you? It was a great day, though. Tarrant Point Bowling Club. What a great place. Jason says, boys, I can't wait for a Perth-based team. Born in Sydney, I'm a tragic para-fan, but I've lived in Perth for 25 years and I'm very confident the Bears will have a strong following. I've listened to your lunatics from your inception and can't wait for the weekend to tune in and hear you, boys. Thanks for a great show. You make my weekends complete. Thank you, Jason.

That's very kind of you, mate, and thank you for the kind words. Mark, did Darrell just say he was a good basketball player before he played first-grade rugby league, and as a result he was called three-point Broman? If so, how did the three-point part come about as the NBA only introduced the three-point shot in 1979-80 after Darrell first played for Penrith in 79? Yeah, this is... You were before your time. Exactly. Before my time. I mean, is that from Tom? Yeah, Tom. I mean, Tom's just a complete wally. LAUGHTER

I met Tom at Davey's funeral. Finally, after all the messages we received, he came up and introduced himself. He says, Mark, Tom Eyston. I said, oh, Tom, nice to put a face to the text. So what year did it get introduced? 79, 80. Before my time, I mean, I knew in the old days you could shoot from outside the circle. Yep. Is this called a circle? Yes.

Well, you could shoot an idea, even though in those days it was worth two. I tried to con the ref into giving us three. It was a long shot. Now, gentlemen, in good news, we've got a brand new sponsor for our Saturday scoreboard. Oh, good stuff.

And it's Snooze coming on board for the Saturday scoreboard, which I hope is no reflection on the quality of the call on a Saturday night. No, that's because Chris Warren started. Head to Snooze. He's copped a hammering in his first point. Oh, you started it, mate. You asked me about it. You're the one who said how bad he went last night. No.

He's a mock. We had him rattled. You know what? Now that we're back on Chris, and I'll come back to snooze in a second, what's this about Chris calling Mark Guy's younger brother Maverick or something? So Maverick came on early last night, great young player for the Panthers, Maverick Guy, and he came on for Scotty Sorensen, and...

Chris called him Mark Geyer's brother, younger brother. Stop it. Please explain how this happened. So then we had to go through the whole Geyer family tree and have Mark Geyer, Matt, Logan Geyer, all brothers, Matt Geyer, Maverick Geyer, and we went through the whole Geyer family and said, geez, their parents have been busy over a long period of time. Did he announce that he may have been wrong?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Did he have trouble saying when he was here? No, no, no. But he said he spent some quality time with the guys in the Western Reds days over there in Perth. Can I just make a comment? We've worked extremely hard to return to the number one rating rugby league program. Given what I've heard over the last 40 minutes on Friday Night Football, we're done. We're gone.

If we're all about accuracy, we've got to get it right. We couldn't let it pass up. You know what we're like. Anyway, back to Snooze. So head to Snooze, save up to 50% off mattresses, plus take an extra 10% off already reduced prices this week only. Hurry, the Snooze 50th birthday sale is on now. And, boys, I'm sure you'll join me in saluting Snooze as coming on board as a Saturday scoreboard sponsor on the continuous call time. I'm saluting him. Piggy's saluting him, but I'm not sure Gal is because the other mob have changed his life. Oh, yes, of course.

Remember that? Remember them, the old days? We salute you. We salute you, Snooze. Great to have you on board. And, of course, Lowe's. We love Lowe's as well. They'll be continuing as sponsor on the Friday and Sunday scoreboards.

Well, it's been a dead set carve up of Chris Warren in this first hour of the program. It's not going to stop either. Well, I've now got the audio of, geez, Mr. G and Andrew are quick onto the audio department. Mr. G was with us last night. Oh, of course. Well, here he is, Chris Warren at it again. On that left edge there, is that Guy? Yeah, that's Guy. It is, Mav.

Mark's younger brother. So, Panthers go left to right. That's his son. That's his younger brother. That's a younger brother. Very younger brother. He's all over the place, Bruce. Yeah.

Yep. His life's in turmoil. And if it wasn't, after listening to this hour, I think it would be now. He's gone the poor boy. Would he be having a sauna now? Yeah, I think swimming sauna. Does he have a swimming sauna most days? Yeah, he's a swimmer, isn't he? No, he's got a date with a nipple ring. How's he going to rock up here this summer? He's going to rock up because he gets the phone for it. Yeah, but why?

What's his attitude going to be like? His attitude won't make any difference. He's off with the pixies. He's a good fellow. He's a good bloke. He's off with the pixies. Now, you know who else is a good man? And we've worked with him in the past. Not Gordie. Gordon Brown. We turned him into a lunatic here a few years ago. Mr. Cam Peasy, as we like to call him. Well, Gordie shared a story last night. And, you know, he gives off this vibe that...

He's a distinguished gentleman, you know, this respected broadcaster. But the more and more I work with him and the more and more I get to know him, quite clearly back in his younger days, he was just a drunk. Now, I want to share with you a story he recounted last night involving sleeping in a driveway. Here is the legendary Gordon Bray. The closest I've come to breakdancing is collapsing in the driveway of the late Alan McGillrace unit at Double Bay. And?

And waking up at dawn, having realised that the late Keith Miller, the great Australian all-rounder, had not seen me and parked on top of me in the driveway. So that's breakdancing for you. That's as close as I've been. Are you serious? I had a tyre mark on my leg. He didn't see me.

I actually lifted my head. I felt moisture on my back, and I was underneath his car. Jeez, must have been a big night. It was a big night. It was the first time I'd been invited to Alan McGilvray's kitchen after a test match, and we had all the test umpires were there, and all the commentators were there, and it was a big thrill as a young man to be invited to Alan McGilvray's kitchen, but he gave me a glass of Johnny Walker Scotch,

maybe a mini glass and told me to scull it at midnight. I finished up in Mrs McGill Ray's Rosebush and that was my last recollection until I woke up underneath Keith Miller's car. Hey, that voice, the voice just does not match being a rapper. What did he used to drink in the Sparrow? Cognac. Cognac.

I forget that story. He did the summer show with us. How long did you do it for? A couple of years? Yeah, a couple of years. Yeah, just enough to bring it down. And he told us about it. He used to get in a spa somewhere and drink cognac. Cognac. I mean...

Those ABC blokes. Can we get back on Chris for a second? What's happened now? What's he done? He's just texted Andrew asking if he's on at 5 o'clock. Fair dinkum. Listen, ring Chris. We'll get him on after 2 o'clock. I wanted to please explain on to the inaccuracies of his calls.

and to find out what he's up to and whether or not he's actually caught up with the bloke from the sauna as well because I've heard that he's prolific on dating apps. Anyway, let's find out what's happening at the Olympic Games. A Paris 2024 Olympic Games update. Thanks to Harvey Norman, proud to be Australia's official retail partner. Powered by LG, partner of Nine's Olympic broadcast. Good afternoon, Mike Pearsall with an Olympic update.

With the games on the home stretch in Paris, we do have a few more chances to cheer on our Aussie athletes. Kicking off in a few hours time, Liam Adams, Andrew Buchanan and Patrick Tiernan will be in action in the men's marathon. Divers Jackson Boshie and Kassiel Rousseau will be pushing for a place in the final of the men's 10-metre platform. And Hannah Green has put herself in medal contention ahead of the final round of the women's golf tonight.

Elsewhere around the game, Spain has won the gold medal in men's football with a 5-3 win over France in the final. Our men's canoe duo has won bronze in the final of the men's K2 500m sprint. El Abir and Ali Bull finished 7th in the women's final. And beach volleyball players Talika Clancy and Maria Fey Artarco del Solar have missed out on a medal, losing both the semi-final and the bronze medal match in 24 hours.

On the medal tally, the USA and China are level at the top with 33 each, but the states are ahead on silver medals. Australia is third with 18, ahead of Japan. I'm Mike Pearsall with your hourly update on the Paris Olympics. That Paris 2024 medal tally was thanks to NRMA Insurance, a help company.

131873, the number 2GB.com. Click onto the feedback icon if you would like to join us or 0460 873 873. Good afternoon, guys. I'm a long-time Parramatta supporter, but that last eight minutes from the Eels could go down as the club's worst defensive effort in their history. As great as the current Penrith team is, the way they strolled down the right side of the field against Parramatta's

left-edge cardboard cutouts that they may call their defence was embarrassing to watch. Three tries in three minutes is akin to watching under-8s defend. Parramatta has an awfully big hill to climb to get close to ever winning another premiership, while Penrith looks set to roll on with four in a row. Well, David, hard to disagree with anything you've said there. Just quickly, Gow, before we get to another break, 131873, the number just give your Sharks a rap last night. They were phenomenal.

Yeah, I got to get to see the game. I was out at Parramatta Stadium getting ready for that game. So I was just sort of following it. I couldn't believe 30-0 at halftime, 44-0 end of the game. And when I looked at the stats at the end of the game, both teams completed up over 80%. It was 50-50 ball. So I was actually looking forward to watching the game and seeing where they were so dominant, why they were so dominant. The way the big man spoke about it earlier just didn't seem like the

Titans threw a lot at them, but yeah, 44-0 was a great score. I don't think the Titans made a break. I think I heard that last night. I watched the whole game, and the Sharks just defended brilliantly, but I don't think the Titans made a break. It's a good win for the Sharks because they've got Nico Hines. Braden Trindle's also out. He was out for a couple of weeks.

Who played half, Braley? Braley was named at half. I understand the way they work it out. I think it was McKinnis played half. Yeah, McKinnis goes there a lot of the time and they play just off like a middle forward. That's the way that they sort of play. But,

Yeah, Will Kennedy's 100th game, so great win for the Sharkies. Good stuff. And speaking of the Sharks, I want to congratulate the club on a celebration they had for a very special person down there at Shark Park, Matty's 50th, which we'll talk more about later on in the day. But one of the listeners here, Brett, says, Gentlemen, good to see the big man last night at Sharkies to celebrate Matty's 50th birthday. Good job, big man. Yeah, we'll celebrate Matt's birthday later on this afternoon. So three games coming up.

this afternoon. NRLW first though. Canberra leading Cronulla 12-4 with 19 to play in the second half. We do that for all.com. 3 o'clock, GIO Stadium, Raiders and Manly. That's followed by at 5.30 North Queensland and Brisbane. Chris will be here to call that one and we'll catch up with Chris hopefully in the next hour for a police explain. And at 7.35 tonight, the St. George Illawarra Dragons

up against the Canterbury Bulldogs in front of a full house down there at Coggera Jubilee. So plenty more coming up after the news. Welcome back. Next year on the program as we do it from the McDonald's Interactive Studio, Mark Levy alongside the big man Darryl Broman, Paul Gallen and Mark Piggy-Riddell with us on this Saturday.

Piggy doing some overtime. Yeah, good stuff. How did you get roped into that? Big week, boys, big week. Three in a row. You know, we're getting to finals time, so it's time we sharpen up and get ready to go. Jeez, you can wrap yourself. Team news is through thanks to Coles. Win with the Winter of Sports giveaway on Now at Coles. Raiders 1-17 as per the program. Albert Opawati is the 18th man. Jamal Fogarty playing his 50th game for Canberra. And Manly 1-17. Their 18th man is Clayton Cooley.

Carl Lawton playing his 100th game and we'll update the scores on that one as we take you around the grounds. Now in the games played so far in round number 23, 28-16 Storm beat the Rabbitohs, Sharks over the Titans 44-0 and the Panthers stormed home to beat Parramatta 36-34. 5.30 this afternoon you'll hear the game between the Cowboys and the Broncos and that'll be followed by the Dragons and the Bulldogs. And speaking of the Dragons-Bulldogs game,

It is a big, big night for the Riddell family because Big Willis, William Riddell, will be out there at halftime and I believe he's been strutting around Shell Harbour with headphones on, acting like a first-grade rugby league player. Thought he'd go down and have some bacon and carb load as well prior to a big game tonight. How's Big Willis taking this opportunity ahead of him? Yeah, he's excited. Obviously, it's, you know, the kids get a real buzz when they get a chance to play on the

On the main deck, on the main stadium, and it just coincides with it being a huge night for the Dragons and for the Bulldogs. So sellout crowd. No, he's excited. He's actually at his cousin's birthday party today, so he'd be carb-loading. Carb-loading full of cake. Have you filled up his card with the money? No, well, Carly's going with him tonight and with my other son, Big H. So they're going there. Big Man, because he's such a great bloke, he actually has sent...

Big Willis, a video message to fire him up. Yeah, I think it'll fire him up. Give us an idea of what you're saying. We should play, but I think there's a... No, I might have swore. You might have swore. I don't know. I just said to him, look, just get out there and make an impact. Take the first tackle up. If you have to do a high tackle, do it. If he gets sent off, don't worry. Just be a grub like your father. He said, if you have to squirrel grip, just do it.

Daryl. This is what it's about. It's all about winning. Under 10s. Under 10s. How else would you? What would you say? You coach under 10s, don't you? Run hard, tackle hard, hold the ball. As simple as it is. But he came into the restaurant a couple of weeks ago. He brought a couple of his team members in.

One had a broken arm, the other one had a broken leg. I said, what sort of a team are you running, Paul? That was a training. You've got to train tough, mate. You've got to train them hard. They're 10. Paxi Kane broke his thumb at training, actually. He's our best player. Paxi Kane, you let him play.

No, he broke his thumb literally at training. Toughen up. I was telling that, not me. Just strap it up. That's my whole point. I'm trying to toughen him up, but he's broken his thumb at training. You were telling us Big Willis was getting around today and a few people down there were asking him how he's going to go. Yeah, well, the dads, Harry's team had a game at 9 o'clock this morning at home, so Big Willis was down there to watch that. And a couple of the dads just wished him good luck.

He said, oh, you're going to have fun? He said, yeah, I'm going to put a few shots on. Yeah. Mate, I'll tell you what. I still remember. We played. There was an under-10s competition. I still remember. It was an under-10s competition at Parramatta Stadium back when I was a kid. And we played all the local teams. And we actually won it. But I remember how much...

You remember it? 100% playing on the main stadium when you're 10 years of age. It's true. It's awesome. Yeah, I played on Belmore Sports Ground. I was a Bulldogs junior and I remember playing on there. Half time of first grade. Still to this day, I still remember who we played and what the score was. Amazing. What I did in Brisbane as well when I was a junior is I played at Lang Park, which was

I used to go to Lang Park all the time with my dad and watch teams play. I went out there under 15s and played half-time. I was in first grade next week. I was just waiting. I'm like, where's this one going? He's too good. But you know what? If you're going out to the game tonight, the Shell Harbour Sharks, the under 10s, Big Willis, I think he's in number eight usually. Are they playing a Cogger-based team? I'm not sure. I don't know. Is Big Willis?

If he's playing number eight, does that classify him as a front row? He's front row, yeah. So has he got a bit of skill? Has he got off load or anything? He just runs hard. He just runs hard, yeah. Not a lot of skill. Okay. Just runs hard and tackles hard. Good on him. So he'll have a go out there. Poor Carly. She's going to be driving home. He's going to be pumped. He's going to be talking about every tackle. Well, Timo's actually out there. I went and had coffee with Timo during the week, and we caught up, and Big Willis was with me. He had a day off school, and Timo was winding him up, and Timo actually said, I think,

I think I'm going to need to get out there at halftime and just wind him up for you. He might do what I said. So he's going to go out, Timmo, and wind him up. What did he have a day off for? Captain Drone? No, he said he had a runny nose. So I said, all right, come with me. Oh, you're soft. Was that Timmo? I had a runny nose. Was that Timmo or Willis? I had the runny nose. No, Big Willis. Love it. Now, Gail, you wanted to bring up something to do with the Olympics, did you? What's the matter, Gail? What's wrong with the Olympics? Oh, just look. What?

Look, we all love the Olympics. I think we all enjoy it. Sounds like there's a but coming in here. Well, there is a but. There's certain events that are going on at the Olympic Games that... Look, I've got to be honest. I just don't think they should be at the Olympics. Like what? Well, I saw a certain...

Look, I'll tell you, breakdancing. It's breaking, it's not dancing, it's breaking. Okay, well, breaking, okay, breaking. I called it last night with Gordie. Three on three basketball is another one? No, it's good fun. Oh, mate, it's three on three basketball. You play it in the street. Like, is it really an Olympic sport? What about golf? I'm not a golfer, so I don't like golf, so I'd probably say that one too, but I can understand why that's in the Olympics. There's an air rifle competition shooting. It's 10 metres away.

I could do that. Mate, we won. You know what? I think he's got a point on the shooting here because I was just thinking, why don't they have sniper? Snipers in the Olympics. No, in the Olympics. In the Olympics. We just said it's only 10 metres, so why don't we have some like...

Give them a go. Yeah, give it a go. Have you Wimbos watched the skeet? What's the skeet? Where they have the clay targets. They pull and the clay targets are bang. Who was the Aussie that won a few years ago? That's another one. I could do that. Michael Diamond. Michael Diamond. Mate, you wouldn't be able to do it. Mate, I'm telling you right now. I'll tell you what I know I can do it. Mate, it's called hand guy coordination. Believe me, I know I can do it because I've done it. Did you say hand and guy? Yes, he did. Hand guy coordination. Oh, hand guy. I'll tell you what, he's got hand coordination but not a hand. I've won two competitions and won two of them. Oh.

What, shooting? Two shooting. I'm telling you right now. You're good at shooting your mouth off. One with the Sharks. One with the Sharks went overseas to New Zealand, and one with the Australian team in the UK. And that was the best one because we put £100 in each, and I won it all. Oh.

That was awesome. Proper shooting clay target shooting, and I want it. So you're comparing yourself to the Olympians who are over there on the world stage shooting clay targets. Only certain events. Clay targets is probably a little bit harder than a 10-meter air rifle. What about the pistol where they sort of got to aim it? It's 10 meters away. Mate, it takes a lot of aim and skill. Mate, it's 10 meters away. Seriously, I could throw a dart or a rock or whatever. What about how cool the Turkish plate with his hand in his pocket?

He was an assassin or something. He was cool as a cue. He had the normal glasses on and he'd balk it and just... Can I tell you why that... I'll tell you why the biggest issue I probably saw, the reason why I thought this breakdancing isn't, or breaking, whatever you want to call it, isn't just up to it,

I watched an Aussie do it. And look, I don't want to be critical of Aussies over in New Zealand. Don't bag her. You're going to bag her. But I'm going to. Don't bag her. She's an Olympian. When you're a break dancer, how old do you reckon you have to be to be a break dancer? I don't know. I don't even know what they do. They dance. What?

What sort of dance? Well, the break dance, like rapping on the street. Okay. Anyway, one of our Olympians was 36. And? Well, I just didn't think it was... Paul, she was out there having a go. Yeah, 100%. I'll take my heart out to her. Brilliant. I'm just saying. She's a pioneer. Yeah.

Why, did she go well or badly? No, she didn't register a point. Well, can I ask you, because you would have done all the research on this. I called it. I know. Was she the best of Australia? Like, was there a competition for Australians to go in there? Well, the only opponent she had was Tones and I.

Well, mate, I've... Well, you in it, were you? She was a rapper as well. Tones and I. I've walked around Darling Harbour on a Sunday afternoon every night and take the film there. Mate, there's better break dancers down there. Oh, come on. I'm telling you. I've seen these kids. These kids are freaky. They're unbelievable. What was wrong with her? Look, I don't want to... I feel really bad to her because she's an Aussie. She's out there doing her best, but I just didn't think it was that great. You're an Australian, Ben. I'm not an Australian. I just didn't think it was that great.

Well, I didn't see it, so I can't comment on it. I haven't seen it myself. I think it's harsh, Gail. Well, Levi, did you call it? Yeah, I called it. What do you think of it? I'll dig up the audio and I'll play it for you. What was your first impression of it? Um...

Is this going to be one of your career highlights, calling the break breaking? Put it this way. Breaking. I don't think I'll ever do it again. So are you agreeing with me? Put it this way. One of the funniest things Gordon Bray said, he was my co-commentator for the break dancing. You need two for that. Yeah, well, we'd never done it before, Daryl. Okay. He said, look at her using the ponytail on the mat. It's very important. Hang on. I think I've got some audio here that I can play for you. I dare say that response means break dancing.

Marcus agrees with me. Excuse me. He's being very choice. Don't put words in his mouth. I'm not putting words in his mouth. Trevor Longs just texted me. He's a tech guru, right, and a former executive producer of this program. Ray Gunn's performance is the most viral video on the internet today. The most viral video on the internet today. It could be viral for being bad. Well, he also points out not for any good reason. So someone else is bagging it. Anyway, here it is last night.

I like it.

Ray Gunn looking good here for Australia, wearing the green and gold. And the American opponent, he got up into a face. Now she does the little hot shoe shuffle, head onto the floor and spinning around she goes. In the main sport I cover, if that was done in rugby league, she'd be facing a week on the sidelines. So she's spinning around doing her thing, bit of flashy footwork.

The halos, the go-downs, now the footwork again, spinning around, getting herself wrapped up there like a pretzel, spins over, now onto a shoulder, there's the freeze, now the arm, the worm-looking move there by the Australian B-girl, Rachel Gunn.

and she points the fingers at her American opponent. So, Gordie, you can have a crack at this. Up comes Logistics. Logistics, the United States. You've called great wallabies Nick Farr, Jones, David Campisi. Never ever did I think I would hear Logistics being called by the great Gordon Bray. OK, Logistics, let's see what you can do.

Head spins, the knee drops. Dancing on the floor. And this is the dance sequence. And she doesn't know what music is going to be played, so she's got to adapt to it. And that's where you've got to be spontaneous. But, yeah, she's showing some beautiful footwork. Then a sliding onto the ankle bone. And then defying gravity, a nice spin.

Then just rubs her ponytail on the dance floor. That's important. That's important. She's up onto her left foot, right foot. Left foot, right foot. She's crisscrossing. She's crisscrossing. Struggling. I can't keep up with her. Now there's the kneecap. There's the kneecap. That's important.

That is important. What, in the context of your body or in the context of breaking? The other thing is it's improvisation, Mark. It's unarmed combat, really. It's an underground dance battle. Well, we're having a little commentary. Now the Aussie's going well. We're having a little commentary battle here, Gordy. I'll look up the Ray Gunn. You go back to Ray Gunn. You look up the logistics. Here she goes off. A split's in the air. She's wrapping around. Now she's on the floor. She likes to do a lot of her work on the floor here, I've noticed, Ray Gunn. You've got to get into it, Rach.

Now she's doing the breaststroke on the floor. Now a bit of fancy footwork. And now she's got her arm in between her legs. Now she's grabbed a hold of little days of our lives move. There's the freeze. That's a chair freeze from Ray Gunn. Well done, Marcus. That was hard work. Well, it got me thinking, Lach. What do you reckon you could do as an Olympic sport

Look, as I said, I reckon I could do the shooting. You're getting a bit of criticism here. Of course, I knew I was going to. Well, there's a gentleman here who was an Olympic shooter and he wants to take you on for $1,000 here. Oh, really? Oh, put your money, put your money where your mouth is. 046- I haven't got a gun there. 046-7873- No, 0460-873-873. That'll do it.

He says, hi, guys. I'm an Olympic pistol shoot. I'm happy to take on anyone from the continuous call team for $1,000 to go to charity. So he didn't say me. He said anyone. Well, you're the one who bagged him. I haven't bagged him. I just said I reckon that he could do it. I could. I reckon if I was to practice it enough, I could do it. See, he's done his whole life. I've never ever done it. Don't put the truck into reverse. This is you, Gail. I'm not reversing. I'm here.

I'm not reversing. You made the comment that you reckon you could do it just like them. I reckon I could. They're Olympians. They're over there in Paris performing on the world stage in the green and gold, and you're up them for the red. No, I'm not up them for the red. How hard is this? I could do this. Well, I reckon there's certain sports there at the moment that I think I could do. $1,000 for charity. What are we doing? What's shooting? Shooting. 10-meter pistol shooting? Whatever you want to do.

Give me a handicap, I'll do it. You know our friend Ray Gunn, who I didn't see. Yeah, she was very good. I've met her brother. Who? Reg. You are an idiot. Reg Ray Gunn. Remember him? Where's he been lately? He's probably still around.

All right, so what do you want your listeners to get involved in? What sport do you think they could do? What sports I reckon they could do, yeah. At the current Olympics or whether they just want to make one up, what do you reckon he could do? What do you mean he could? You mean as in do it now and be good at it? Be effective. Yes. Without practising? No, you've got to be dedicated to the sport. You can't just take it over today and think you're going to go to the Olympics for it. But you were saying you could beat the shooters now. Not now. I said give me a go, I reckon I could.

Look, look, look. That's exactly the same. Okay, so you're expecting to pick up a gun right now and shoot it right now. Well, that's what you said. No, I said give me a go at it. If I was to dedicate myself for a certain amount of time, I reckon I could do it. Having a look at all the events, and I'm talking track and field here, and you think to yourself, you know, like you can do all the running if you train and things like that. There's one for me that I know 100%.

I wouldn't be willing to even try. Poll vote? Yeah, two. Mate, watching Nina Kennedy and the poll voters, would anyone else have trust issues with the poll? I think it'd snap.

But I just wouldn't trust, like, it going into the ground and then relying to bend. I don't know how you're going to get that. Imagine when you've got to put it in that little hole if you miss the hole and just keep going. Story of your life. Try again, Mark. You know the funny thing about pole boarding, though? You think about these events, 100-meter sprint, 200-400, you go and do it at your school carnival, your long jump. How would you know if you're going to be any good at pole boarding? But what do you do...

that would indicate you are good at pole vaulting. What would you do as a kid? Think of it as... Gymnastics? I've got an idea. Even now, what would you do? You get the broom and you try and jump over the fence. But what would make you want to do that? The only sport would be some sort of gymnastics, wouldn't you think? One of the sports I covered last week was Simone Biles on the beam. Yeah.

I don't know how they do that. That narrow little beam and jumping around and doing cartwheels and everything on it. No, thank you. No way. Imagine for us blokes falling in between that. They're exceptional, aren't they? I mean, the people over there doing what they're doing is just exceptional. Do the blokes do the beam? Yeah. There would have been some issues on that over the years. Yes, for sure. God. Does it rhyme with Rats Rackers? You know what concerned me about Nina Kennedy's pole vault? What?

Did you see her with the black Tarzan grip on her hand? Yeah. And then she went in to do the interview with Carl and the guys at Nine and she still had the sticky grip on her hand. Did she eye-pop Carl? That must be a bugger to get off that sticky grip. Must have had to knuckle them, just knuckle them. All right. Well, Gal, let me turn this around on you. What other sports would you like to see in the Olympic Games? Can you think of any off the top of your head? Because you've been doing the power lifting and all that sort of thing down at the gym, haven't you? Look, I enjoy doing weights and training. What can you lift?

Nothing like them guys can lift. They're freaks. Levy can lift 100. I can add to 100. Bench press. Sorry. That's different. Just wanted to clarify. So bench press, would it be, it's harder to bench press 100 than deadlift 100, is it? Yes, yes, yes. Your legs are probably the strongest muscle in your body. I don't know. I can't believe I'm playing this again. This is me doing the gymnastics. Oh, hang on. I've got to turn this up. Here we go. Here she is now, Simone Biles.

Salutes the judges and the crowd and says, here we go. It sounds like a G-up. Biles with her flips on the beam. So she lies down on the beam. A little bit how I feel after a long night covering the Olympic Games. Now she's lying on the front of the beam as if she's pedalling a bike. Gets onto her haunches. Oh, she looked a little bit uneasy there, Simone Biles. Not the usual finesse we expect from the gymnast from the United States. There's a forward flip on the beam. Does a little star jump. Now the legs go out to the side.

Points the toes. As if she had a little cramp in her big toe. Now she does the backflip. Three of them and nails every single one of them. There's a little wry smile on her face. Now, in the middle of the beam, she does the flip and a little twist. Just got off a little bit of balance there. And then on her final rotation, now the backflip. One, two, three, dismount. Oh, that's a ripper.

So anyway, that's... I suppose my thought is, if you can have something like breakdancing or three-on-three basketball at the Olympics, right, which to me, I don't know if I classify them as real Olympic sports. Why couldn't you have a...

Hot dog eating competition. Well, why couldn't you? Why couldn't you have a beer drinking competition? So you think breaking's stupid, but you want to have a hot dog eating competition in the Olympics? Those events are in the Olympics. I don't think... When I compare break dancing to the 100-meter sprint... There's athletic ability involved in breaking as opposed to shoving a hot dog down your butt. Okay, well, how much athletic ability is involved in shooting? Plenty. Plenty.

And standing there with a rifle and going bang. Hand-eye coordination, making sure you've got the strength in the upper body to hold the rifle when shooting. Please, please, please. There's not a lot of athletic ability involved in that. I can be harder. All right. I can be harder. 131873, the number. If you're a shooter or you've used a rifle in these situations, is there athletic ability?

in these sports that Gal thinks there isn't. 131873, the number, and it's worth calling through because if you get to air, you're a chance of winning the $200 meat tray voucher thanks to Stapleton's quality meats. 131873, the number, and the other question to you this afternoon to get you involved is what other sports would you like to see in the Olympic Games? 131873, the number, continuous call time.

131873, the number 2GB.com. Click onto the feedback icon. Now, boys, Mooney from Denman here. Was Levy just making up words, calling the breaking? And what would a 70-year-old person think of his commentary? Wasn't easy, Mooney. Wasn't easy at all. There's a stack of messages and calls coming through, which we'll get to. At least Darrell wouldn't have any trouble knocking the bar off with his manhood from David. I would have gone over there, mate. The bar would have stayed on, so to speak. I could...

I could see Gal doing the ribbon twirling in the gymnastics in his mankini from Rob. Phil says, lads, I've met Ray Gunn's grandfather, Pop Gun. Thank you very much.

Steve at Radcliffe. I just heard a thunderous, what? Coming from the heavens. That would be Davey watching the breaking. Wouldn't he love to have been here for this week? Wouldn't he, what? Imagine commentating the breaking. Working overnight with you and with all the boys in there. Gordy. Gordy, oh, how good. He says, yes, Gordy, remember those good old days. Davey would have said, what do you think of breakdancing, Davey?

Raygun. 52-year-old Craig at Willoughby says, I'm thinking of expressing myself through creative dance in Brisbane 2032. The dream is ignited thanks to Argun. Thank you, Craig. G'day, fellas. I have no problem riding the Dernie at the Olympics from Paul. Have you seen the Dernie? No, what's that? So the Dernie is the electric bike or the motorbike that goes around the velodrome in certain races and then it

peels off, a bit like a safety car in motor racing. Then they should take over and start racing. See, I think they should spice the derny up. I think at the Brisbane Olympics in 2032, they should have meter maids riding it or blokes in budgie smugglers, lifesavers in budgie smugglers. What about Uber drivers instead?

Uber? Or just a random Uber driver? Drop something off, throw a burger into the crowd or something. They'll take a wrong turn. Mate, don't sponsor us. We love Uber each, but some of their riders just need to lift their game a bit. That's all we're saying. 131873, the number. Wayne is at Sanctuary Point. Hello, Wayne. G'day, fellas. How you going? Good, thank you, mate. I'm a mad shark supporter. Go you bloody sharkies. That's good. Yeah, go the sharkies. Good last night.

Yeah, mate, yeah, they were good last night. If we keep it up every week, it'll be better. What did you want to say about the Olympics, mate? I agree with Gal. Well, first of all, the breakdancing and that sort of thing. My wife and I saw it this morning and thought it was a bit of a joke. I'm not taking anything away from them. They're very clever, but I don't think it should be an Olympic sport. And the other one is the shooting. You don't need to be physically fit to hold a... I've done clay pitch and shooting and...

Anybody can do it. You don't need to be any... Thank you. I'm a shark. You stick together. Listen, mate. Mate, you lost the argument when you said you're a shark supporter. Of course you're going to support the G-string. No, mate, I've never met the Blake, but he just knows what he's talking about. He's backing you because you're the former shark's captain. No, he's backing me because I'm speaking sense. Everyone, including everybody in this room, agree breakdance should not be an Olympic sport. If breakdance is going to be an Olympic sport, so should alcohol drinking.

You're a goose. Think about how hard you've got to train to drink a lot of alcohol. There'll be more training involved in alcohol drinking than there would be in break dancing. Imagine the blokes getting around the athlete's village with the beer guts. You know, there's people walking around, six packs, and, you know, finely tuned athletes, women, men, and then you've just got these fat heaps that are just on the drink for two weeks. Well, mate, that's what... It's a bit of a joke. I think it's a bit of a joke. I'm with you. Thanks for your call. Brett's at Oakdale. Hello, Brett.

G'day, fellas. Gallon, you are up yourself. Yeah, I knew there was one coming. I knew there was one of these coming. But anyway, what have I done now? Get out there and try and shoot over 10 metres with an air rifle. You take a breath and your aim changes. As your heart beats, your aim changes. You've got to control all of those things and get the thing within...

not minutes of degrees of angles, within seconds of angle over that distance. You might have done all right with clay shooting, but with a single bullet, you're not going to go any good. Clay shooting's a single bullet. Like, it's a bullet. I know they spray out, but... But how are you going to shoot a moving target?

He's not talking about a moving target. But if you were to shoot a moving target... I was very good at clay shooting. That is a moving target. I was very good at that. I understand what he's talking about. A breath, I understand exactly what it means, but I just think I could give it a go. Brett, thank you. I'll be okay. Brett, thank you for the call, mate. Mark's at Parramatta. Hello, Mark.

Good night, boys. I'm going to disagree with Gal. We used to have to shoot at a moving target going from left to right, right to left, show medium and fast, and that was at 200 metres. And if you breathed the wrong way or moved a muscle, that was it. You wouldn't hit it. Now, you sound like a sniper from 200 metres away. That's a fair distance. That's a big distance.

200 metres, 300 metres and 100 metres we were shooting at. Yeah, well, you are too good for me. I'm talking about Clay shooting at just 20 metres away. He sounds like a sniper. Mark's an army shooter. Mark, thank you for your service, mate. Appreciate it. I'm thinking Gail would have been barred from all the shooting the ducks at the show, at the Easter show. You know, where the ducks go along. He's barred from it because he's too good. You can't win. Probably just gets in both hands, spins the gun, goes...

They're rorted anyway, aren't they? Those games are rorted. How dare you? I want to go back to that last point. How dare you? That's unbelievable, 200 metres away. I wasn't thinking 200 metres away. You put your foot in the nail. You don't agree with me? That's a big target. How dare you? You're saying they're rorting. The carnies? How are they rorting it? I think there's a lot of trust issues. Yeah.

With those carnies and the ducks that may not be able to go down, even if you shoot them. No, that pig, you know what they do? The guns. The guns are a bit off. The guns are a little bit that way. They're loitering all the fun for the little kiddies. They cop the parents' money. Listen, can you blokes drop off? You're up the Olympians who are over there representing this country in green and gold, and now you're up the carnies who are out there doing their best at circuses and carnivals and everything else. Drop off.

Leave them alone, would you? You're ripping everyone off. One more from Michael, who's a former referee of shooting. Hello, Michael. Good work, Michael.

Hello, gentlemen. I'll tell you what, you guys really cut me up sometimes. Good on you, buddy. Because you are speaking, I was a referee in two big international shoots in Brisbane. I actually marched in the Masters Games for shooting, and I will say this, there was a shoot called the International Metallic Silhouette Titles, and we held that one in Brisbane at the Sporting Shooters Range in Brisbane. We also held the Benchrest Titles in Brisbane.

and that's an international sport where my sister competed in it. I was referees at both those competitions. I've been a shooter all my life, and I'll tell you what, fellas, if you can come up with the best of the best in shooting metallic silhouette, and it ranges from 25 yards up to 100 yards, and the bench press shooting goes from...

They're way between 50 and 200 yards. If you guys can get up there and beat them, you're going to do extremely well. We're not saying we can. Gallant's saying he can. Gallant thinks he can. Gallant Bromans rocks all these, Blake. Can I make a comment, Michael? I salute you for being a former referee of shooting. Me too. Imagine telling someone they've done something wrong with a gun in their hand.

You've been expelled from this competition. There's nothing more exciting than going to the footy with minutes to go. The players are switched on. There's a huddle in the locker room. The coach gives one last pep talk as the players get their faces on. They then run onto the field to the roar and excitement of the

crowd is that like a tick tock yes I said tick tock that's it shut up would you that's everything you'll experience when you get to a game on time here's the play with uber reserve you can reserve an uber ride in advance from 30 minutes up to 90 days that's your ride to and from the game this weekend helping make sure you don't miss any of the footy action just head into the uber app conditions apply reserve now ride later with uber reserve let's find out what's happening at the olympic games

A Paris 2024 Olympic Games update. Thanks to Harvey Norman, proud to be Australia's official retail partner. Powered by LG, partner of Nine's Olympic broadcast. Good afternoon, Mike Pearsall with your Olympic update. There's been plenty of success on day 14 of the Olympics for Australia.

Cyclist Matt Richardson put serious injuries behind him to claim a second medal. The 25-year-old has won silver, just edged out in the sprint finals by Dutchman Harry Laverson. Madison Keeney nailed her fifth dive to take out silver in the three-metre springboard final, while canoe pair Tom Green and Jean van de Westhuizen...

bronze in the men's K2 500 metre final. Our women's basketballers will be in contention for a bronze when they take on Belgium tomorrow after going down to the USA in their semi-final. Beach volleyball players have missed out on a medal, losing both a semi-final and a bronze medal match in the last 24 hours. First up this afternoon Liam Adams, Andrew Buchanan and Patrick

Tiernan in the men's marathon. Checking that medal tally now, it's the USA and China neck and neck ahead of the closing days of competition, both with 33 gold. Australia still in third with 18. I'm Mike Pearsall with the latest from the Paris Olympics. That Paris 2024 medal tally was thanks to Woolworths, proud fresh food partner of the Australian Olympic and Paralympic teams.

Ibrahim says, boys, they should do bowling at the Olympics. Great show. Thank you, Ibrahim. G'day, guys. When are they going to bring back the sack race to the Olympics? I was a whiz at junior school. Sport day from Roy. That's a good point. Unique Olympic sport, pressure washing a driveway. Fancy holding a world record for that. Piggy and I would watch that from Lindle.

Yep. Boys, what about race walking? That is an absolute farce. Well, there's some skill involved in that. Jeez, what about, how bad would you be in life if you've got to be the little bloke running out with the paddles to suspend people and disqualify them? That's not a good job. I still have, is it, was it Jane?

Yeah, the way in Sydney they got that in the stadium. People's Champions call was beautiful. Go, girly, go, go, go. What did he say? She's been disqualified at the shadows of the stadium. Good afternoon, guys. I think dummy spitting should be in. Mitchell Moses and Clint Gutherson would win gold and silver from Georgia. Granted, Cabramatta boys, if they don't allow breakdancing, they should also ban synchronised swimming. Boring. Boring.

That's from Grant. Actually, no, I watched one of them this morning. I watched the American team's goal. I think they won gold. It was to smooth criminal Michael Jackson. It was actually pretty good. I promise you, I watched it, and it was actually pretty good. I watched the whole thing.

We may as well have. You didn't have much else to do. I thought it was good though. And one more here from Steve. G'day boys. Reversing a box trailer through a course should be in the hot seat. Yeah, that would be good. That would be good. Reversing a boat on a trailer. A boat, yes. That's hard work.

Boys, just moving back to rugby league for a second. One of the great rugby league men has announced his retirement. Halfback Sean Johnson over at the Warriors calling time on his 14-season career, announcing he'll be pulling the pin and hanging up the boots at the end of the season. Here's what he said during the week.

I just love being able to do this on my own terms. I feel like

In this game, you know, when you've been in it, you know, this long, you can quite easily not control these situations and your departure, you know, can be forced sometimes. So, you know, for me to be able to have complete control over this, knowing that there was something there for me to play on next year, but I've made the decision not to. You know, I can take a lot in that. Yeah, Sean Johnson there saying he was happy he could retire on his own terms. The CEO of the Warriors is Cameron George and he's on the line. G'day, Cameron.

Good afternoon, gents. Well, mate, he's been at the top of his game for 14 years, a great career, and I'm sure you'll be putting plenty of things in place to ensure that his career is celebrated once he pulls the pin at the end of the year for the Warriors.

Yeah, that's right. He's been an absolute marvel for the game of rugby league in general, but particularly in New Zealand. He's inspired a lot of young kids to play the game. We're forever grateful for his time spent at the club and we'll celebrate that over the next few weeks for sure. Hey Cameron, I know it's only early and he's only just announced it, but will the club be looking to keep Sean around in some capacity?

Look, he's got so much knowledge. He's a tremendous presenter and he can pass that on to so many players and kids coming through our system. So just let the dust settle on his decision and let him finish off the year. And look, mate, he'll be clearly living in Auckland, so we'd be mad not to see what he wants to do next year and beyond and use his knowledge to pass on to the next generation. Yeah, mate, Cameron, I think he's been one of the most naturally gifted players I've ever seen.

He's certainly had a skill that not many players have had. You know, whether he's produced it all the time or not, that's another question. But I think from a natural perspective, he is right up there with the best players in the game. He is indeed. You know, his idol is Stacey Jones. And, you know, he just brought so much to every game, you know, that he played at Mount Smart in particular. And, you know, whether he put on the Kiwi jumper or not, people wanted to watch him play and were...

And, you know, they just wanted him to have the best game possible because when he was on, he was better than anyone, really. And he was so classy and, you know, he had so much speed. And, you know, towards the back end of the career, he just got so much smarter with the ball in his hand. And we saw that firsthand last year. And, you know, just getting picked for the Dallium just goes to show how much he led our team through the 2023 season. This year he's been a bit checkered with injuries. But, yeah, mate, he's a class act, Sean, when he's playing footy.

Cameron, going back to the team, you've had a tough season for... We don't know why, to be honest. You've got a fantastic team there, but you've sold out every single home game this year. You've got one home game to go. I imagine that'll be a sellout already. Yeah, we announced it actually before, Sean, last...

announced his retirement that were sold out for the last game against the Bulldogs so look what will happen now is I assume everyone will just be turning up to celebrate his career and yeah it's been a wonderful year off the field in respect to the support but

But as you guys well know, we've got to win and our job is now to try and retain them going forward the next year. But the game's certainly taken off in New Zealand, which is a credit to our fan base and the players and the club in general. So a lot of the staff have worked hard, which is really pleasing. And just finally, Cameron, you talk about your fan base. I saw a little grafture in the week. Tickets sold per NRL club fan base for Las Vegas.

Your club's leading the way at 34%. And I think I'm right in saying a Warriors charter flight to Vegas. It's sold out in, what, 17 minutes.

Yeah, that's right, mate. Our fans just follow us everywhere. And even for away games, you know, in Australia, we just have such a loud and proud group of fans that always turn up. And, mate, as I said to the NRL, you put on a boat. I'll get on that as well to get over there. And one charter, you know, I think everyone was, oh, will it or will it not sell? And to sell in 17 minutes, mate, and that's only the people on the charter. There's people going through Hawaii. There's people going through other ways to get there and

And, you know, we'll have a big, big fan base in Las Vegas, which is going to be exciting for the event. It certainly will be. We'll see you over there, Cameron. Thanks for the chat and pass on now. Congratulations to Sean Johnson on a great career.

Will do. Thanks, guys. Good on you, mate. Cameron George, the Warriors CEO. And, yeah, that'll be a big celebration for Sean come the last round of the competition.

Cowboys $1.42, and G Broncos under enormous pressure. They're the $2.90 outsiders. The blowtorch on Kevin Walters.

to finish this year. Whispers of Reece Walsh to 5'8", and other seemingly panic changes. Are the Broncos any chance of turning it around in Townsville? Well, not according to the punters. $2.90 the Broncos, the Cowboys at $1.42. And if you want to follow George Rose's same-game multi, he's got the Cowboys head-to-head, Cowboys to score first, and Helam Lukey to score a try, all at $5.76. Cowboys head-to-head, Cowboys to score first,

David says, Hey, boys, just reading a story on the breaking at the Olympics, and it looks like the G-string has got his wish. Breaking will not be a sport in LA. All is not lost for the rest of us. The boys' competition will be on tomorrow, so there's another chance for Levy and Gordon Bray to work on their commentary.

How's Gordie handled the late nights? Is he good? He's very good, Gordie. So he's on here from, you know, say what, nine till about five? Well, we come on at seven. So we do a wide water sports at six, then we're on from seven and we go all the way through to about, on the weekend, seven in the morning. Other than that, 5.30 before the breakfast show starts. Does he, because he's getting on a bit, does he yawn? No.

What? There's a yawn. Everybody yawns. It doesn't matter about what age they are. Just tired. Some yawn more than us. You've got to stay up overnight. Are you drinking coffee overnight? Do you have coffee the same way? Do you know what my problem with coffee is? I only drink barista made coffee. I can't drink, I can't, the instant one. There's a proper coffee machine in the kitchen if you haven't seen it. Why can't you drink coffee?

Like one spoonful of instant coffee. Because I just don't want to. See, that's it. You can. I'm an elitist. You are. You can drink it. I drink it a lot. I don't like it and I don't want to drink it. Speaking of coffee, are we ready for another? Yes, I'm ready. Yes.

Well, not... I'm happy to shout today. He's got 50 bucks. I've had a shout already. Can we address that, please, once again? When's your turn? Exactly. I was going to do it today. But I've been in a few Saturdays and I haven't shouted, so I thought it's my turn to shout. He's got to take out the tight-ass mantle. You know what? I feel like potato scallops. Maybe I should order some potato scallops.

I just had a random craving for schnorts. I've had enough. I just had... Didn't we have some of them the other day? They were beautiful. Where'd they come from? Fat fish. Very nice. Anyway, continuous call time. Yeah, great to have Snooze on board as our Saturday scoreboard sponsor on the continuous call team. And we'll take you around the grounds and update the scores for you on Canberra and Manly. That game getting underway very shortly. They're making their way out onto GIO Stadium. And they're about to have the Viking clap before play gets underway in the nation's capital, Australia.

between Canberra and Manly and then that'll be followed a little bit later on this afternoon by the two games that we'll call for you right here on the Continuous Call team. Canberra-Manly not too far away. News is next. Welcome back playing away in the nation's capital where it's Canberra and Manly at Millall. Manly went over for a try on that occasion but Grant Atkins, the referee, has ruled a forward pass from Tom Trubojevic.

to Lehigh Hoppawattie. So, Nillall, Canberra and Manly foregone in the first half. Later on tonight, Cowboys and Broncos. Chris Warren will be here to call all of the action. I believe he'll also be calling the second game. Is that right? Doubleheader. So, the Dragons and the Bulldogs. That's a big day for him. At this stage he is. What do you mean?

Well, Darren Flindell's on call just in case he stops the first one. So he's called eight races, well, ten races today in Sydney. He's going to come in and do another game of football, is he? Work experience. Well, Darren Flindell wouldn't stop the numbers up. I'd be pretty certain about that. Oh! Get out bagging, Chris Warren. I'm not bagging him. Last night, Panthers beat the Eels 36-34, Sharks 44-0 over the Titans. And Thursday night, the Melbourne Storm beat the Rabbitohs 28 points to 16. Chris Warren, good afternoon to you.

Good afternoon, boys. Have you had any feedback from any of your friends given our start to the show today? I've been pretty busy lately today, but I have had a few texts from a couple of mates, a little concerned for me. I won't reveal who they are, but to put it in a nutshell, they...

said that you've had a good carve-up at me. And one of them said it had a fair degree of vitriol and more than an ample dose of venom. Oh, I wouldn't go that far. I'm just... When you say you've been busy, have you been out on a date with... Where have you been? No, we had a thing called a captain's run this morning, so I was there with the media with Benji. Oh, you've been with the Tigers? That's correct. That's correct, Gal. Um...

Just before you go into the numbers and mathematics too, I do recall Billy Slater mentioning something about glass houses recently. So just be careful a little bit where you tread on that one, boys. After that, I went to the pool and I've just been back into the sauna, but there was no sign of Sven. Sven? Sven in the sauna? Have you been on the phone today? Any apps? Not as yet, Gal. No, no, I haven't. No. You swiped right, left, no? Oh, I'm pretty choosy. That's why I'm single.

Fair enough. Is there any... I thought you were undoubtable. I was going to say, your choice or theirs? I've actually had an email from Sven and also a couple of ladies who you've been talking to on those apps whilst we've been on air. Is it true, Chris, that whilst you're calling Rugby League, you film videos to prove what you're doing? And that's like a bit of a...

A deal breaker? Yeah, no, that would be a Mark Levy falsehood. That actually came from Piggy. LAUGHTER

You see, I thought pig was a bit more solid. Oh, you don't know him very well. Chris, you know how you heard there's been a couple of calves up? He has destroyed you, not carved you up. Chris, I just need you as well, just for those people that love and follow the Panthers, could you just run us through the family tree of the Guy family?

Yeah, good one there. You see, I did play with Mark and his younger brother, Matt, in Perth, and I was trying to get Maverick's younger brother, older brother's name, Logan. Anyway, yeah, no, I haven't had a text from MG just yet. All right, Chris, while we've got you as well, can you just explain the mathematics behind this? This will put the Panthers ahead by two, 15 out from half-time or thereabouts on the all.com clock.

20 metres out. 1,505 career points. Cleary, make that 1,509. Flags are raised. Are they giving four points for penalty goals? Yeah, I'm going good, aren't I? Yeah, going good. You said 1,505 points. He kicks the goal. He kicks the goal and he said now 1,509.

Chris, has the ARL Commission ratified a change to the points in Rugby League or have I missed something? No, we're going up in fours. But Levy, he's the thing, right? He's been around for a long time as well. And, you know,

You know, when you make a blue under pressure live radio or TV, your good mates on your team generally sort of let it slide through. They don't highlight a mistake. They smother for you. I know what you mean. They smother. Correct. They smother, as you know. And I feel a bit let down. I feel a bit let down, particularly by Piggy. I don't know Gal very well. I don't know if he's been thrown stones at me. Well, I haven't badgered you at all. I've actually stuck up for you. Oh, yeah. I hope so.

You're not. I'll help you out at that vending machine down the hallway. Thank you. So, Chris, you know you're doing both games tonight, yeah?

Yeah, I did it last week. I did two and a half games last week, didn't I? Yeah, yeah, two and a half games. Well, Chris, we look forward to your math lessons and also your brilliant call of the two games later on tonight. Thank you, mate. I'll be on my best behaviour. Thanks, Paul. Passing our regards to Sven. Thank you very much. There he is. Chris Warren, 131873, the number 2GB.com. Click onto the feedback icon if you would like to join us. Karen is at Oyster Bay. Hello, Karen. Hello, Karen.

Hello, how are you? Very well, thank you. Karen? I went to your restaurant last night. Oh, what did you think? Be honest. It was very nice. Oh, good. The lady at the front was very nice. Thank you. But I can't see, but...

I didn't want to embarrass her. She took me to the table. It was fine. And she gave me a menu, and I said, oh, it's okay. I can't see. Give it to the others. It was fine. And she was, oh, I'm so sorry, but that's good. The food was lovely. Oh, beautiful. What did you have? What did you eat? I had the veal. Oh, it's my favorite. You had that, didn't you? Veal bosciola. How good is it? Yeah, it's great. It was amazing.

Oh, great. Well, Karen, Karen. And, yes? Karen, thank you for supporting us because we've only been going a couple of weeks and everyone's raving about the food. We've got to tidy up a few service issues, but I'm back on deck tomorrow, or Monday, I'll be in there. I haven't been able to be there for the last couple of weeks because of the Olympics, but I'll be in there most of the day tomorrow

for the next few weeks anyway while I've got a bit of time off. So, Karen, I look forward to meeting you next time I'm down there and next time you pop in for a feed if you come back. I hope so. But I'm glad you had a good experience down there at the new restaurant we've opened. Thanks so much for the kind words. When I said, what did you think, I'm thinking to myself, oh, jeez, I hope this is positive. Anyway, Big Mom, what have you got for us?

Well, you know, I don't do much during the week. I've spent a lot of time just looking at various things in my house. And Darling and I have a lot of eggs for breakfast. We quite often have either boiled eggs or eggs on toast or whatever. Most days we would have eggs. I've now come to the belief that eggshells now aren't as strong as they used to be 10 years ago.

I think eggs now, the shell of an egg is a lot thinner than it used to be, and I've got no real reason to know why that is. Would anyone agree with me or disagree with me? I think I might agree with you. Because I'm finding when I have a boiled egg, when I go to just knock the top off it, it comes off easier. It just breaks easier. You don't have to use as much force.

You know where I'm coming from? Yeah, yeah. I agree. So you agree? I think I agree with you. Would anyone know the reason that eggshells aren't as strong as they used to be? It's because where you're getting your eggs from, the chickens are soft. That's why. That's why.

That's why. No, I mean a plausible reason, not a stupid reason. No, I'm being serious. I get free range, hard free range eggs. So you're saying mine are expensive eggs, they're not free range? No, yours are probably caged. They're probably not free ducks, free chickens. What?

They're probably not chickens just roaming the wild like mine are. So why would the chickens that roam in the wild have harder eggs than the ones that are in cages? Because they're stronger. They've got to fend for themselves. They've got to fend out there in the wild. They've got to fend out there in the...

a big open paddock. What do you mean they've got to fend in the wild? It's not Survivor Series. They have to survive. You are a complete imba. No, I'm not. Free range eats means they go and throw all the food around and they just go and scavenge it off the floor. They don't fend for themselves. They just go and eat what's on the floor. They're out virtually in the wild. I think it's got more to do with what they're eating. So you're agreeing with me? I agree with you. Anyone else agree? I agree. Your chickens are soft.

Not my chickens, they're eggs. Yeah, because the chickens are soft, they make soft eggs. That's why. You know where we get them from? Chickens. The free range shop. I don't believe you. Why do you not believe me? Because they're soft eggs. If they're soft eggs, they come from the egg. Could I ask a stupid question while we're talking about eggs? That's not stupid. Why are some brown and some white? Well, it depends on where they come from. There's always a different...

Varieties of chicken, isn't it? But if you notice, see, when we were in the United States in Las Vegas, their eggs were white, whereas our eggs here are brown. It's different breeds of the chicken, isn't it? Because there's all different breeds, like the Iserbrowns, they're a laying chicken. The Iserbrowns, they live up the road from me. Well, they're the breed of chicken that I had when I had my property out west of Sydney. Is there actually a breed of chickens?

Breeds of chickens, yes. It's not just one chicken. Well, a chicken's a chicken. No, there's all different breeds and different looks of chickens. There's American bullies dog, there's Staffies dog. There's different types of chickens. Yes, 100%. The Iserbrowns are one of the well-known breeds.

Like egg-laying chickens. I'll read out a few more for you, Gals. So there's the Silky, there's the Brahma Chicken, the Plymouth Rock Chicken, the Iam Samani, the Americana, the Sussex Chicken, the Leghorn, the Polish, the Orpington, the Frizzle, the Rhode Island, the Cerama, the Morans, the Iser Brown, as Piggy mentioned, the Leg Bar, the Dong Tao Chicken. Dong Tao, that's there from China. There's the Naked Chicken with no feathers.

Poor bugger. What are they doing in winter? Master Grey, Japanese Bantam. Not much plucking going on there with those chickens. So, what was the question again? Well, why are the shells softer now than what they used to be? They need more fibre in their diet now, I would have thought. I think it'd be something to do with what they feed them. See, chickens are pretty lucky in a lot of ways because they just get fed. They don't have to scavenge for food. They just get seen. Well, the tough ones do. The free range ones do. You fed chickens lately?

I don't have any chickens anymore. I used to have them. I used to feed the chickens, yes, all the time. And what did you give them, like wheat? It was like a, you bought, well, actually, where I bought the chickens from, I was buying the feed from as well. So what were you feeding them? Eggs. It was like a, I don't know what it was. You threw it all on the ground. Hang on.

Mate, I used to throw, this is a true story, I used to throw barbecue chicken carcasses into the chicken coop and they'd go to town on it. Oh, you're a disgrace. No way. Really? It's cannibalism. You can't feed a chicken a chicken. I used to throw the old chicken carcasses. And would the carcass just disappear? Yeah, they'd just pick it all apart. Eat the bones as well? No, not the bones. So you'd have to go get the bone out. And then there'd just be the...

So they're reading their own. They're reading everything. They're like 2GB, aren't they? I'll beat you those eggs. I'll beat you the chickens' eggs were hard because they're tough. We're tough chickens. All right, let's get our listeners involved. 131873, the number. So do you think, or what's the question? Why are shells softer now than what they used to be? Well, the question from Darrell is, are the eggshells softer than they used to be? My question is, what's the difference between the white

And the brown eggs is a big shot is put on Tom Trebojevic.

Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance. Consider the fund's PDS and whether the product is right for you. We are talking chickens on the continuous call team. Yes, all the big issues. Shells harder or softer now than they used to be? Definitely softer. Softer. Do you still have, when you have, speaking of eggs, just before we get to the calls...

Do you still have soldiers? You know, when you take the top off? Dippy eggs. I love them like that. I tried to cook them a couple of weeks ago, but I overcooked the eggs. Six or seven minutes usually. Is that it? Well, when it starts boiling, I reckon two minutes. Two? When it boils, when it starts boiling, two minutes. Jeez, that's running, all right. It's not that running, mate. You could leave gas or electricity there. Gas. Gas. See how much electricity.

Mine might take a bit longer. But if they boil for two minutes, how does that make any difference? Exactly. Because gas is a bit hotter than electricity. But if they get to the boil, once they're at the boil, they're at the boil. Are you saying gas, the boiling of gas, the water boiling is hotter than when it's boiling with electricity? Yes. You're an idiot. You are a goose. This bloke is just a confirmed imbecile. Gas cooks quicker.

It does. It does, gal. It's the heat at which you are cooking. Once they're boiling, that's the... The water boils and the water's boiling at the same temperature. Gas cooks quicker. Gas is much better. Gas is easier to cook with, but it doesn't cook quicker. 131873, the number 2GB.com. Click onto the feedback icon. Jerry's at St Mary's. Hello, Jerry. Well, good day. How are you? Good, thank you, mate. You're on the air. What would you like to say to the boys?

Right. Now, the shell strength is due to what you feed the birds. They give grit, which is usually seashells and rocks and stuff. They convert that into the shell, which goes on the egg. It coats it as it goes through the chook. And if you're short on grit, the shells are...

thinner and not as strong. And as for the white and the brown eggs, when I was a kid about 50 years ago working on a poultry farm, they were all white eggs. And then customers began to wonder about what are brown eggs like? So the breeders just switched over, the suppliers switched over to birds that produced brown eggs. My son-in-law

My son and I show poultry and we were giving away eggs when we'd finished our breeding and people were surprised that the white eggs were available because for many, many years they've only supplied brown. Right, okay. And Gerry, just on the whole free range and caged eggs and all that sort of thing, from a personal point of view, what would you prefer?

Well, I worked on two poultry farms as a child and cages were just coming in then. But everyone seems to want free range. But then you get the issues with this bird flu that's just popped up in the Hawkesbury and in Victoria. Yeah. You can't have both because, you know, these birds have got the bird flu because they're out wandering around and the wild birds have come in and given them bird flu. Mm-hmm.

It's a good point you make. Good on you, Gerry. Thank you for your expertise, mate. So is he saying grit? Is that basically just like sand and sand? Yeah, that's grit. And that straightens. They eat them. What dietary benefit would there be in a seashell? It gives you a harder shell. Mm-hmm.

So you should eat some. It might help you out a bit. Let me explain to you because there's a few here. Pots and kettles. But you know what? You can throw all your scraps and all that sort of stuff in and they'll eat your scraps. I'm just mortified by you feeding chickens barbecue chicken. Mate, I'm telling you. I'd throw the old barbecue chooks, you know, the ones you get from Woolies or Coles, and they'd go to town. I can actually see that. I can see that being a whole lot more beneficial to them than seashells. I just don't like the idea of you feeding chickens chicken. Mate.

Lots of animals eat each other. Fish eat fish, sharks eat sharks. I just feel sorry for the chicken. See, a lot of the chickens don't like being vegetarians. Yeah.

Well, is eating grit, would you declare that as being vegetarian? Yeah. Of course it's vegetarian. What else would it be? But, I mean, that's what they eat. This is why I eat the poop shit and prawns. They eat that because they've got to eat it. If they had a choice between eating grit and other chickens, what do you think they'd go with? Yeah, they'd eat other chickens. Thank you.

Problem fixed. Shell grit makes the eggshells harder. If the shells are soft, it's because of a lack of shell grit in their diet. My Uncle Wally was a shell gritter who worked on the beaches in Cronulla. Hold on. This is a whole other topic. Does anyone out there know anyone who's ever been a shell gritter? Who worked on the beaches in Cronulla? Way to cab it in. He's Uncle Wally Molten.

I was a shell gritter who worked on the beaches in Cronulla. I don't know how many shells I've seen on the beach at Cronulla, actually. There's plenty. It's a beach. Uncle Wally's pinched them all and ground them up into shell gritter. What's a shell gritter? A shell gritter. No, but that's a G. That's a G. That's what he did. Can you believe Guga Vatsaruja? Of course it is. The captain of the Bulldogs. And tell me, what would you do? Do you go collect seashells and drop it off at the grit joint? Must crush them up. I know.

He was a shell gritter. Here we go. The Royal National Park and a coast. Shell gritters. Here we go. Shell, let me just find where it says it here. What's a food like? What's a food money like? What's the cash like? I've been a shell gritter. Oh, it's just disappeared. Yeah, because it doesn't exist. Shell gritters tracked to the cobblers. These men in horse-drawn carts with two rubber-tied wheels gathered shell grit to sell to poultry farmers and away they went. So there are people still out there shell gritting

from the beaches along the coast of the island. It sounds like what you read was in the 1920s. That was from a historical website. Yeah, that's exactly right. Well, Uncle Wally's still doing it. Uncle Wally's still doing it. And today, in 2024, Levy, was Chris Shelgridding himself in the sauna? I'm not prepared to ask that question of him. Thank you, Gerry, for your call. 131873, the number. Gary's at Boondall in Brisbane. Hey, Gaz. How are you going, guys? Good, thank you, mate.

Yeah, Darrell, I cooked some soft-boiled eggs perfect last night. What you do is you boil the water, get it bubbling, pop your eggs in, and six minutes and 30 seconds, bring them out, and they are perfect. I'll tell you what I do, Gary. I'll tell you what I do, Gary. I put the eggs in a pot, just water from the tap, turn it on,

And then when it starts boiling, two minutes after that, they're great. Two minutes? So they're in there for probably seven or eight minutes all up. But once the water starts boiling... Oh, so you put them in at the start? Put them right at the start. Because you know what? I think it's an experience.

For who? The egg or you? Well, sometimes I think. A long, slow death. They're not alive. You think the eggs are alive? You've got no feelings. You are a funny man. He thinks the eggs are alive in the fridge. Like, he goes and feeds them. He says, here's some more shell grit for you eggs. You said some silly things today, Paul. Some silly things.

This is the best answer. I found why the eggs and shells are getting thinner from Alison. There are many reasons for layer chicken producing thin shell eggs, such as being scared, lack of calcium, poor ventilation in the house, and infrequent disinfection. We can solve this problem by adding calcium to the feed, ventilating the house, and regular disinfection. There you go from Alison at Kirra. We try to help you, Big Mart. Thank you, Alison. 131873, the number fills at Tambourine. Hello, Phil.

Yeah, how are you going? Yeah, look, everybody's all over it. It's the eggshells. We're out here on acreage in Tambourine, out the back of the Gold Coast there, a dozen or so chooks, and you've got to feed them their eggshells back. I can barely crack mine open, Darrell. So that would be the grit that they need?

No, we feed their own shells. Yeah, I know, but that would be the grit that they need, right? That's the grit they need. I've got a little bag full of shells there, seashells, just in case. And you can't throw those eggshells back in whole.

because then they might start to pick their own eggs, thinking it's a full shell, and they'll go to their own just freshly laid egg. You've got to break them all up, throw it in, bang, and the shells are that strong. Love it. Phil, there'd be no reason to give them a whole egg back because you haven't used the egg. You know what I'm saying? It's just ridiculous. Good on you, Phil. Thanks for the call. Well, Darrell, you know what? You brought up an issue that people agree you would.

with you. The eggshells are getting thinner. I think about a lot of stuff all the time. You've got a vivid time to think about it. That's why 2GB and the management here not only have given me Monday to Fridays off, they've actually given the rest of my life off at this stage. So I've got a lot of time to think about stuff that people want to talk about.

All.com for all the travellers in you. Around the grounds we go for Uber Reserve. 12.6, Canberra leading Manly. 12.6, the score, Canberra leading Manly. And 16 minutes left in the first half. I think we've got an Olympic update standing by. Let's do that right now.

Good afternoon, Mike Pearsall with another Olympic update. A few medals have come Australia's way on day 14. Madison Keeney won silver in the women's three-metre springboard final. Track cyclist Matthew Richardson picked up silver in the men's sprint.

and canoe sprint duo Jean van der Westhausen and Tom Green collected bronze in the men's K2 500m. Coming up on day 15, Australia's women's water polo team, the Stingers, who took down three-time defending champs, the USA in the semis, will now take their place in a gold medal match against Spain. Jessica Hull is in the final of the women's 1500m run at Stade de France.

while Oceana McKenzie, who qualified sixth for the Boulder and lead final, is up against the woman considered the greatest climber of all time, Janja Gandre of Slovenia. And golfer Hannah Green is six shots off the lead going into the final round of women's competition. Looking at the medal tally, the USA and China locked at 33 all in the gold medals, the Americans just ahead on silver count, the Aussies holding on to third place with 18. That's the latest from Paris. I'm Mike Pearsall.

That Metal Telly update was thanks to Toyota, Australian Olympic and Paralympic team partner. Oh, what a feeling.

Now, Paul Gallant is writing the ups and downs of this game between Canberra and Manly, and I think we've realised why, as Canberra lead Manly 12-10 with a kick to come for the Seagulls. Tommy Talao getting the try for Manly, 12-10 kick to come. Canberra leading Manly, kick to come for the Seagulls. Now, Paul, you were telling me earlier that you've had a couple of, well, three different tips to Ray in our tipping competition, which...

Only has a few more weeks to go. Yeah, I'm down by three points against Ray at the moment. 500, right? And there's 500 on it. And I've backed the Raiders. He's backed Manly.

I backed the Dragons, he backed the Dogs, and I backed the Warriors, he backed the Dolphins. There are three different this week. So this week will make or break me. If I can get home this week, I'll come home with a wet sail and I'll beat him. But if I go six behind, I'm in some trouble. I love how competitive you are, knowing what he's tipped and what you've tipped. I've got to be a little bit honest. I'm a bit disappointed in Raimondo. He done well to get to the top.

But now all he's doing is just taking the favourites. He's just playing it safe. Is he on top? Yeah, just. So you think he's protecting his lead, do you? 100%. And you know what? In this game, you can't just protect your lead. You've got to keep striving. What game? Huh? The tipping game. The tipping game. The game of life. I haven't even looked at it. I don't even know. You've got to keep striving. You're still tipping on television the opposite to what you do here?

No, I'm actually coming... See, in our competition, I think I'm about fourth or fifth. I think I'm about the same in the other one. So I've actually done the same the last few weeks. Andrew, can you put off the tipping competition? I'd like to have a look at how people are going. The agent outside... Oh, it's double agent. So Gail called me yesterday in a panic, wanting to know who Ray tipped...

As they hadn't been published Who's that? Hang on, you can't be giving me that information Who can't be giving me that information? Andrew It's public information No, no, no, you can't be comparing tips before you put yours in I didn't, I didn't do that, I promise you Well what are you ringing Andrew and asking him for?

Because yesterday I was on the way to the ground, okay, on a Friday. There'd already been a game on the Thursday. Unfortunately, when I jumped on the app to type in 2GB presented tipping, it wouldn't come up. So I rang Andrew. I said, why is it not online yet? And he goes, oh, they must have put it up yet. I said, well, can you tell me where Ray's tips are, please? Why are you so worried about it? It's only 500. You'll find them. Safe somewhere in your backyard. You know why? Because I want to be Ray. Yeah.

That's what it's all about. Is that it? Oh, here we go. You know he's the hero. He's the people's champion. Yeah, but I want to beat Ray. All right. Look, I've found it myself here. So after 22 rounds, Ray leads the way on 106.

He's three ahead of you. That's what I said. So there's three different this weekend. So Ray's leading the way. John Stanley is sitting in second position on 105 with Clinton Maynard and Luke Grant. They're also on 105. Deb Knight's having a great season. She's on 103 with Gow. Then you've got Big Man on 102.

Josh Morris on 102. Alana Ferguson, 102. Jamie Sowden-Boyd are on 100. Chris O'Keefe, 99. I'm on 96. Piggy's on 96. Matt Thompson, 95. Ben Fordham, 92. Chris Warren, who's supposed to be an expert, 91. And Michael McLaren, 89. It just gets worse for Chris Warren. He's had a tough day. At least he's loyal. He keeps tipping the Tigers. Yeah.

As he said, he's had a big day today. He had to go to the captain's run today. What would he do at the captain's run? He'd just stand there and watch. No, he's got to organise the media. What do you mean the media just turn up? He doesn't go and pick them up. They're coming last. The media aren't interested in him. He's got to set up the media banner with the sponsors on it. That takes 45 seconds. And then present them to the media. Benji's a media performer, so he doesn't need any media managing.

So he just stands there and asks the questions. And then Chris says, yes, thanks very much for coming. And he puts the thing down and he gets in his car and goes. Leave him alone. You blokes are picking on him. Benji, let's go. How do you turn? Let's go through the math, Benji. What's 1,505 plus 2? Ha, ha, ha.

1,509, Benji. We're a mathematical chance of making the finals next year. Anyway, let's talk about Royce's big walk in support of dementia research. It began on a Tuesday morning. This year, the walk focused on the Sydney metro area. He's about halfway through, so I thought we'd check in with the Panthers. Great. And he's on the line from Bondi Icebergs, beautiful part of the world. G'day, Royce. G'day, boys. How's it going? I'm just choking a couple, actually, to be honest. It's...

To be quite honest, you've interfered with my drinking. Well, what about your punting? No, I haven't gone there yet, Daryl. No, I haven't. Well, when Andrew said we've got Royce on at about 20 to 4, I thought, jeez, I hope he's had a good day on the punt. Otherwise, he might not be in a good frame of mind to talk to us. But, Royce, how's it all going, mate? Started on Tuesday, and we know what you're trying to do, raise as much money and support for dementia research, and you've had some big names joining you along the way.

Yeah, mate, it's been outstanding. The whole trip again, as always. You're always joined by all these good friends and old NRL mates. And we've had a great walk. Like, when we left from out of Penrith, you know, we...

We went through the Parramatta and the Tigers and the New South Wales camp, and then we've gone across to Manly, and the last three days just walking along the...

We followed the beach or whatever you want to call it. I'm not much of a man on any of them sort of things, being from Goolagong, but we just followed the beaches and the areas right around and we got here today. It's been absolutely magic. Jesus, it's a beautiful city and so many great people saying g'day to you along the way and so on. It's fantastic. Hey, Royce, how much have you been able to raise so far?

Oh, I've got no idea, mate. I just get up and walk, mate. I just leave everything to the people. But, mate, well, we've had two people. Well, one for sure. I think there's another one coming up. But where I live at what's known as the Royston,

without being embarrassing they've given me $100,000 straight up straight away as they have as they have for the last three years you know and the Panthers will be a great supporter too they'll come in with the last two years they've given me $100,000 each as well so um

You know, so that's a good kickoff. But you've got to remember a research program is worth $380,000. So, you know, there's a lot of work and we'll have a lot more other events along the way and we'll raise money hopefully to pay. We've paid for four research programs now. It'd be great to pay for another one or two in the next few months. Mate, when you're walking...

Look, I notice you're doing one with Gally. Have you got earbuds and stuff to block him out when he talks to you? Look, mate, the other day, honestly, I had Bucketstone Neal on one side of me and Dave Liddy on the other side. And I said, you two have found the cure to dementia. You talked to me and it just took off out of my head. It's done the runner. You two have...

You've got me nuts and it's taken off. So if you see Buckets and Dave Liddyard, you think of them for cure and dementia. Hey, Royce. Why do you get the girl there? Get out of it, man. Hey, Royce, the last couple of years we've done it out in the country and I've really enjoyed the walk. It's been pretty quiet and peaceful. But are we actually walking on the main roads on Monday? How are we going to get around town?

No, mate, it's all on pass. We've done it all out. As I said, we left Penrith and come through the areas and got all on pass, went to Manly and we've come right along the coast to the

to the Bondi Iceburgers where I'm sitting right now and we haven't been on the road. It's all past. Good stuff. I can't wait, Roshi. I've done it the past couple of years, mate, and it's great fun. I'm really looking forward to it. Have you had one of those burgers there at the Bondi Iceburgers? You haven't there yet or what? It's hard to have a burger, mate, when you've got a schooner in your mouth. LAUGHTER

No, it's not. No, it's not, Big Roy. Try harder. Royce, we love supporting you, mate. RoyceSimmonsFoundation.com.au is the website. And I know you've got a hell of a lot of people joining you this week. Josh Morris, Freddie, Terry Lamb, Liz Davidson, Paul McGregor, James Graham, Luke Lewis. They're all coming to support you, mate. And we want to lend our support to you as well. So good luck with it all.

Thanks, boys, for your help. Cheers. Chat soon. Get back to the beers at Bondi Iceburgers. Good on you, Royce. Royce Simmons, rugby league legend. You should jump on Monday with me, Marcus. What do you reckon? Me? I'm on the Olympics, mate. Oh, fair enough. I wouldn't have known you were doing the Olympics. Jeez, why are you so aggressive? Just giving it to our leader.

He's putting in and giving. We're lucky to have him here, mate. He's been giving his guts. But Monday day. Seven days a week. The closing ceremony is on Monday morning. At what time? Yeah, and I'll be working through until that, and then I'll be going home for a sleep, given I've worked all night. Then you're coming. I'm going to go to your restaurant at lunchtime. Well, I'll be there. I'll be there for the next couple of weeks, every day. I look forward to seeing you. How's your back going? Because when you walk into that room over there, I'm worried about that air mattress that you've been having some rest on. Is it a double one or two?

It's a double. It's a double. I don't know why they got him a double, but anyway. Well, so he can lie diagonally across it. Do you throw like a pillow between your legs? No, I don't do that, no. I'm surprised you don't do that. It's good for your back, that. It keeps your legs from getting too hot. I find when I put my legs together, they get sweaty. Yeah.

What in bed? I usually throw one out of the bed. What about your leg or your pillow? You do throw a leg a bit on here. Unlike Gal. You can talk. Hello, prostate. I'm 68. I've done my best. He doesn't count prostate. He's in another room to Bev. It's good, eh? It's good.

Paul, by the way, when you popped in, I noticed you were in there having a feed during the week. Did you pay or was it? I did pay, yes. Yeah, good. Did you have the same stuff again this week? I was disappointed I had to pay because I did put a post up on social media and then I did pay after. Who, Ollie, made you pay? Yeah. I'm surprised you don't get one on Wednesdays when kids eat free. What? I didn't know about that. Kids eat free on Wednesdays. That's the time to go for you. When do you have the... We'll know from now on. Seriously. Seriously. I don't know.

I can't cop this anymore. The Raiders are trying to beat themselves. They've missed a goal they should have kicked. They've bombed the try they should have scored. They bombed another one then. And you've tipped Canberra. And I've tipped Canberra. And the Pistons champions tipped Manly. Have a go at this. A great footwork by Hudson Young. Seriously, passed the ball through his stomach. The pass was crap.

But he still should have caught it. There's a captain's challenge here. So 12 all Canberra and Manly. Three minutes 31 left in the first half. 12 all Canberra and Manly as we take you around the grounds. Now, it takes a lot for your team to make it to the top of the ladder. Grit, determination, commitment. But it all boils down to a player's attitude and mindset before a game. It's hard work all season. But you know what isn't hard work? Uber Reserve. Whether you're catching a flight, going to a concert or some other special event.

Jordan Rappen has failed his HIA so he won't be back for Canberra. It's 12-all with two minutes left in the first half. Canberra Manly, 12-all to score. We do that for Uber Reserve. And whether you're heading to the footy this weekend or you've got something else planned when you need to get there on time, make sure you reserve it with Uber.

Uber Reserve. So there we are. Now, $250 Lowe's digital gift card to be won with a Saturday footy quiz. We give you three clues throughout the afternoon in the Who Am I? Once you know who it is, you can give us a ring on 1300 722 873. Clue number one, I've played 73 games since making my debut in 2021 in the NRL for the Warriors. I've played 73 games since making my debut in

in 2021 in the National Rugby League for the Warriors. That is clue number one. 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. Mo Fodowaka from the Titans.

and Liam Martin from the Panthers. They're both, well, one is for a careless high tackle for Fodawaka, and Liam Martin, dangerous contact. Billy Burns and David Fafida have both been charged as well. They'll escape with a fine with an early guilty plea. Mark, seeing you working 24-7 lately with Sport Olympics and Restaurant, have you had time to show affection to Kevin from Ardy?

Neighbours have been looking after Kevin for the last couple of weeks, but the cat has been looked after along the way. Thank you very much for your concern. And Kayleen in Townsville says, Guys, I love the show. You give me a much-needed laugh on the weekends. I'm just wondering as a tribute to Davey if you could play the song the Robertson brothers sung for him. Thank you from Kayleen in Townsville. Yeah, I'm sure we can dig that up out of the system and play it for you a little bit later on. But the David Morrow Olympic Studio has been...

bursting with great gold medal moments and I'm sure the great man would be extremely proud of what we've been able to do over the last couple of weeks and to credit to all of the team that we've got of course Ray, Jane, Matt and Libby over in Paris and then the team that we've got both on air and off air back here in Australia as well headed up by Olivia Wilbury who's Ray's executive producer as Tom Trebojevic makes a break gives the pass away and they're going to score again here

So 16 points to 12, Manly leading Canberra right on half time. Gee, that's going to hurt Canberra as well. And you, Paul Gallen, Canberra going in, bully more right on half time. Canberra had a penalty, didn't kick the ball out, Manly scored. They should have scored last set at six. They threw a crap pass. Now all of a sudden, try to Manly. Come on. You're handling it well. 16-12, kick to come. Manly leading Canberra right on half time.

Something happening down your way, Piggy. From Rob, hi, team. Just wanted to let you know the Australian Darts Masters Final from Wollongong is on tonight. Simon Whitlock was knocked out last night. Damon Hedder is the only Australian through for tonight's finals where he takes on Gurwin Price. But there's the best of the PDC here in Australia, Luke Littler. Luke Humphreys headlining world-class darts. Have a look if you get the chance.

It doesn't seem to be advertised. It's on KO. We love the darts. 180. He's over here because I actually heard him on the local station down there. I think he was on with Marty and Marty Haynes. 180. I've never been to the darts, but that looks like a good night out. Mate, I haven't been over here, but I have been over in England. Oh, that looks awesome. Mate, it's just a party.

Everyone's obviously on the drink and that. And most of them come dressed up in fancy dress and it's full on over there. What about the audience? Well, back when I... I sound old now. It was when, what was his name? Phil Taylor. Remember when he was like the gun? Yeah. And the wizard, Simon Whitlock, was just sort of coming through for Australia. They can make a good...

Oh, yeah, unprofessional, yeah. That name's from Luke Littler. I think he's only a young bloke or something, isn't he? And he was contending. If you're into your darts, you'll be able to let me know. 0460 873 873. I just remember mentioning a story about Luke Littler. I think he's a young bloke and he came close to winning a world title or something along those lines. But I'm sure somebody will let me know. 17, apparently he is. Yeah.

Anyway, that's all happening tonight. So good luck to the darts player. Are they got darts in the Olympics? No, they don't. That's not a bad one. There you go. Yeah. I think darts got more merit than break dancing. 100%. Much more merit. I think breaking is, yeah, not really an Olympic sport, but I...

I just don't think the Australian was on a game last night. Mate, it is viral because everywhere you look, it's the video of her spitting on the ground. I just had a quick look there at social media and the first one that comes up, me trying to get into a pair of jeans and it's Ray Gunn dancing around on the floor. I still can't believe she's 36. Poor thing. Ray Gunn. She's an Olympian. Good luck to her. Yeah, we've looked it up and thank you for those listeners letting us know. Luke the Nuke Littler.

He finished runner-up to world number one Luke Humphreys in London in the World Darts Championship earlier this year. And he's 17 years of age, and he celebrates his dart wins by having a kebab. He sounds like somebody who would be well-suited to the continuous call team. So good luck to him. He's competing in the darts tonight in Australia, happening in Wollongong. So that'll be fantastic. A bit of 180 happening.

18-12, Manly leading Canberra. We've got a break for some news. We'll come back with the next hour of the show on this Saturday. You certainly are as we welcome you back. Play back underway or about to get back underway in Canberra where it's Manly 18 leading Canberra 12. 18-12, the score, Sea Eagles leading the Raiders as we take you around the grounds for Uber Reserve. Later on this afternoon, Chris Warren on deck again.

to broadcast that game between the Cowboys and the Brisbane Broncos. So we'll bring you live coverage of that one. That's followed by St. George, Illawarra and Canterbury from Netstrata Jubilee Stadium at Coggera. So a couple of big games coming your way. Last night, Penrith beat Parramatta 36-34. The Sharks thumped the Titans 44-0. And the Melbourne Storm over the South Sydney Rabbitohs 28 points to 16. Now, I was just told...

by Andrew Lucas, our producer, that there's a drama on the northern beaches of Sydney which may affect Chris Warren getting to the studio on time. So I thought we'd better get Chris back on the line to find out because this is obviously having an impact on listeners who use the Spit Bridge. And he's back on the line right now. Chris, what's happened, mate?

Oh, I hope you can hear me, mate. Yeah, bumper to bumper. It's gridlocked heading to the city towards the Spit Bridge. I'm told there's a mechanical fault with the bridge. So anyone heading to the city from the northern beaches, I would recommend you try and find an alternative route if you're not already trapped in this situation.

in this log jam. How long do you think you'd be trapped for? Like an hour, two hours? No, I don't know. On a serious note, take the mickey, but I've moved, I'd say, 200 metres in half an hour. Oh, that's not good. I do that when I go for a run. Well, we might. We'll get on to the Transport Management Centre and find out what the ETA is, more so for other people who use that particular stretch of road. But when there's a mechanical problem, that's obviously...

a pinch point, so to speak, for those people wanting to get to the northern beaches, Chris. Yeah, absolutely, mate. Well, I'm doing my best, so if, Gal, if you can maybe get me a can of cola or something, if I don't have time to go to the shops and that type of thing, that'd be great. You want a can of Coke?

Just down from that vending machine. Yeah, well, if you're stuck for two hours, you might be here by 7 o'clock. Chris, for people who live out that way, and I don't, what is the alternative route? Once you get on here, you can't get out of it, right? You can't turn back. You could go back along Wakers Parkway and then take the Roseville Bridge. It's a big U-turn, big diversion, but it's probably worth doing that if you can do that. Hmm.

I can't. I'm just about to get on the bridge now. I hope that mechanical fault, I hope I get across the bridge. What about a ferry? Maybe just leave the car and just grab a ferry over. I think there are ferries there. Yeah, there are. The Manly ferry. I stepped out of the sauna to Manly and got a ferry from Manly across and then a short walk to the Piermont and brought Sven with me.

Definitely a mechanical fault. One of two southbound lanes closed, according to what I'm looking at at the moment. So anyway, you'll get it, Chris. But I just thought we better update our listeners on 2GB in Sydney because that's going to cause a bit of chaos, especially on this Saturday afternoon. So mechanical fault with a spit bridge at the moment and only one of two southbound lanes is operating. 131.

873 is the number. Now, you would have heard in the news that the AOC, the Australian Olympic Committee, has just announced our flag bearers for the closing ceremony of the Games of the 33rd Olympiad. Clinton Maynard is in Paris and he's got all the details. G'day, Clinton.

Good afternoon, boys. Big news from Annamese, the chef de mission here. Olympic champion Kayleigh McEwan, the swimmer, and sailor Maddy Wern have been selected as our flag bearers for the closing ceremony, which is tomorrow night, Paris time from nine o'clock at Stade de France. And that will be Monday morning, Sydney, Brisbane time. Of course, Kayleigh defended her 100 metres, her 200 metres backstroke.

She's become the first Aussie to win four individual gold medals in Olympic history. And Matt Wern won the dinghy sailing event. He is the first man to win back-to-back titles in that particular event in Olympic history. Kayleigh is not actually in France anymore. She's over in Croatia in

a holiday. So she's got to hightail it back here to take part in the closing ceremony. There'll be 300 of our athletes, 460 in total, just over 460 took part in the game. So 300 of our athletes will take part in the closing ceremony. And the big news about closing ceremony as well is it's not on the river, it's

It's actually in the stadium. And hopefully the bloke with the snurf outfit, the bloke painted blue, won't be part of it. But that's great news that we have two wonderful flag bearers. Oh, that's great news and very well deserved, Kayleigh and also Matt. Just on the closing ceremony, Clinton, given that Snoop Dogg has featured...

prominently at these Olympic Games. He seems to be popping up here, there and everywhere. Is there a chance potentially with Los Angeles hosting the Games in four years' time that we might see Snoop Dogg or Soup Dogg as Gordon Bray called him last night?

Well, it depends on the American broadcaster, NBC. So perhaps they've got a lot of sway. I was speaking with the people from Paris 2024 about this the other day, about Snoop's wonderful work that he's done here. And they actually said, look, we've got nothing to do with Snoop. It's all NBC, as he's the commentator for the American broadcaster. But given the sway they have in the Olympic movement and the fact that LA is next on the schedule, well, maybe he's going to be the star attraction.

There's a bit of a room about Taylor Swift as well. I don't know if Tay-Tay's going to make an appearance. Maybe it'll be a duet between Mr. Dog and Tay-Tay. Mr. Dog. Mr. Dog. Snoop Dogg is a dog. I don't think he's ever been called Mr. Dog and Snoop Dogg. Anyway, how have you enjoyed it while we've got a couple of minutes? Have you enjoyed it over there, Clinton?

Look, you just, boys, you were just talking about the vending machine, right? So I think this is an outstanding Olympics. I'd give it an 8 out of 10. I think it's been really, really well managed. But there's one gripe I've got, and it's the whole wokeness thing, because it's all about sustainability, right? When you go to these media venues, they have media centres at various venues, right? You can be stuck in there when you're away from an actual event. You can be stuck there for hours. You know what you can't buy? What? Can.

Can of Coke, right? You can't buy a can of drink. There's no vending machines in the joint. And do you know why? Because they don't want the cans to be used. So what you've got to do, I'm getting on the high horse here. What you've got to do, you've got to buy a reusable cup from them for two euro. And you know I'm as tight as gal. Six euro for the Coke. So it's about $10 for a small Coke for your reusable cup. And you know what they do?

They get the bottle themselves. They pour it out of the bottle and give you the cup. Well, that was $8. Anyway. That was $8, not $10, by the way. $2 for the cup and $6 for the cup. No, Euro. But he said... Well, by the time you trade... Well, Euro, it's almost double. It's about $15 or $16. It's ridiculous, Gail. I agree. I'm going to come back broke. Can you claim this on the 2GB account?

There'll be a significant claim, big man. Don't worry about that. Keep the receipts. Keep the receipts. All right, Clinton, I'll chat to you later on tonight when we get into our...

olympic coverage and no doubt we'll hear from anna mears as well the chef the mission and i reckon she'd be pretty impressed with uh the performances of the australian team our most successful olympic campaign ever impressive she's been fantastic i haven't heard a lot of us speak in the past but i think she's done a great job she certainly has everyone seems to respect her greatly i mean and so they should but she's done a good job i reckon i i the

One thing, and not wanting to get too serious here because that's not what we do on the show, but the one thing that's really, really impressed me is not only the performances, but the way in which the athletes are happy to tell their stories and talk to the media and do all that sort of thing. And, you know, obviously it comes around every four years, so this is their big opportunity. But just the willingness and the, you know, the down-to-earth nature of some of the Australian athletes has been quite refreshing. Yeah.

and I think every single one of them should be congratulated. Even those that haven't made finals or haven't won medals, Daryl, the way in which they carry themselves and the sportsmanship that's on show is phenomenal. So congratulations. Yeah, that's the way you want it. I think the other thing that's good is...

I think the Channel 9 people make them feel at ease too. I think the people involved are very professional and very good at what they do. And I keep thinking about Carl. I mean, I love Carl. But he's, you know, you see him, he's the front and centre of basically everything they do. But all the other guys too, you know, it's been a fantastic. And the radio here has been tremendous as well. Piggy was saying it before. I mean, the whole TV slash radio thing,

of the Olympics from Channel 9 has been phenomenal, really. Thank you, Daryl. It's been wonderful to be involved and just to be able to tell those stories and paint that picture for listeners across Australia has been fantastic to do. And the beauty about radio is you can dip in and out of different events. So at one minute we're calling the cycling, next minute we're doing the diving. It's unreal.

Whereas sort of television, it's a bit hard to do that, which is where I think radio has a distinct advantage. So it's been enjoyable. I listened again last night on my way home and I was texting you. It sounds great. I love how you go from here to there, the excitement from, you know, last night we had the weightlifting, then you were calling the diving. The breakdancing. And I didn't catch the breakdancing live. What about me with the diving? Like, I don't know if it's a good dive or not. I'm judging on the splash. Everyone.

judges diving on the splash if they don't know what's going on. I think that's all you can do. And that's the thing. I mean, if we were to go on there and pretend to be experts, people would go, what about this idiot? Right? So I'm just... And the gymnastics, you know, trying to describe it to people, there's proper ways in which you can describe if you go through the terminology of gymnastics. But for everyday people listening, they're not going to know what the different terms are. So, you know, she looks like she's got a cramp

on the beam that's what I'm going to say and we're in the entertainment business you want to be able to let people understand exactly what you're saying and everyone's done a great job can I ask you a question about the Spitbridge does the Spitbridge have opening hours

It operates at certain times during the day. So if the big boat just shows up, it won't just open for the sake of it? I don't think so, no. It's got to be opened at certain times during the day. And they're advertised on the website and all that sort of thing. So if you're a big...

and you've got a time when you want to go out and when you want to come back in. I don't think that would be reasonable. I just thought whenever you wanted to, they just opened it up. I knew they couldn't do it whenever you wanted because it's a main road, but I was just wondering what the hours were.

Opening times of Spitbridge. Here we go. Let me have a look here. Can you get that down in time? Yeah, we'll just have a look and try here. It'll be interesting because I'm wondering whether his back foot went into it. While we're having a look at the replay there, opening times for the Spitbridge. So weekdays, 10.15, 11.15, 1.15, 2.15, 8.15 and 9.15. And then on the weekends, it's 8.30 in the morning, 10am, 11.30, 2.30, 4.30, 6.30, 8.30, 9.30. So there you are.

All right. Well, that's good to know that. It's pretty regular. I mean, I've driven over there like going to the footy and I've got no idea where the bridge is going now. It'd be fun sitting up in that little control tower just stopping all the traffic randomly, wouldn't it? Watching the people's faces in the cars that are the first ones that get stopped. You'd think the people who live over that way would be aware of it, wouldn't you? Just try and dodge it. What are you saying there, Big? Well, I just think he stuffed it up again. Yeah.

He does like to get it right on time, doesn't he? Is there anyone in the world other than him who can find a problem? I'm still caught up on his counting. That's why I was so prepared to get into the previous call about his counting. He stuffed up too. Now, just an update. The mechanical fault impacting the spit bridge is due to a boom gate being too low, affecting traffic. Crews are working on it as we speak. No ETA on when it will be fixed.

Chris telling us he's across the bridge and traffic is moving smoothly after that. So once you get down the hill and across the bridge, everything's okay. But the issue is that boom gate, which is being hopefully worked on and rectified as we speak by those crews that are there. Question from Clinton, a piggy and gal buying yachts. Why is the question about opening times on the bridge? Well, I think both of them can afford it, but I don't think there's any plans on big boats. I've had a boat. You know what? I've been thinking about getting a boat.

Really? For fishing? No, I've been thinking about getting like a... Cruiser? A pontoon boat. Oh, yeah, party. But there's pretty... Mate, there's actually one I've been following on Instagram called Bartlett Boats and they're pretty schmick. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've been thinking about having a look at them. Well, you'd get a good one. You wouldn't want to get a crap one, would you?

Well, I'm not going to get a crap order. Or are you looking for a free one? Why do you think you just mentioned them? I'm actually not. You know what will happen now? You know what will happen now? We'll go out there and go, hey, Andrew, can you get the audio off for me? I just want to send it off to the boat mine. We've actually been following them. They are very, very nice boats. Of course you have. How much are they roughly? I actually think they're very expensive. I don't know much for sure.

I don't know. There are a couple hundred thousand. Are there really that much? The really good ones. Yeah, the really good ones. I would think having a boat, unless you're using it pretty regularly, would be expensive. Mate, trust me, they're a waste of money. I had a boat, bought it, had it. I live literally 100 metres from the boat ramp. Hardly used it. Really? So I sold it. Then I got a jet ski. I got a jet ski skidding in the garage. Hardly used it. Hardly used it. You got a swimming pool? You don't swim in it.

He's got an ocean down. He's got a shower. I'm telling you, you buy them and you think you're going to use them all the time. And they're hard work too. You've got to clean them. No, they're not hard. Well, jet skis aren't that hard because it's pretty quick to wash them and flush them and everything like that. You've got to reverse it in and do all that crap. Yeah, but that's part of the fun of having a boat. Are you any good reversing? Mate, my...

I am now, but all my advice to anyone with reversing boats, trailers and jet ski trailers are harder because they're so small. Slow and steady wins the race. All right, just take it nice and slow because one big turn of the steering wheel and you're going to jackknife. Are you the person that told me that they take a six-pack down to the boat ramp and just watch as people stuff it up? No, we do walk down to the boat ramps and watch people put their boats in and out because...

Some people have got no idea. Absolutely zero. You think Davo would have been a good reverse partner? Oh, definitely not. Mate, he went through a drive-through for the first time last year. Yeah.

No, that would not be his area at all. What about the times when we'd go and stay at the Stadium Australia, like have our parking underneath, and I'd say to my old mate on the gate, I'd say, what's Mr Morrow's parks? I'm not parking his car. I'll never forget the night that, because you guys leave before me, so you're in the car driving past me as I'm walking to the car, and Davey just had the side windscreen.

window down. He had both hands on the steering wheel and he was driving past me and then just looked to his left. But he had sunglasses on. And this was at 11 o'clock on a Friday night. I said, David, you've got sunglasses on. I don't like the glare. They're night-time glasses. What about...

What about at the stadium when you had to show him how to use his boot? The boot raiser button. He had the automatic boot, but he didn't know how to use it, did he? And it was getting stuck half-way. You know why? Because he was pushing the wrong button. There was the hold button that leaves it open a little bit. I said, no, the button's underneath. You push that and it opens. Well, why don't they put that in the bloody manual?

A Paris 2024 Olympic Games update. Thanks to Harvey Norman, proud to be Australia's official retail partner. Powered by LG, partner of Nine's Olympic broadcast. G'day, Mike Pearsall with your Olympic update. Day 15, the penultimate day of the Games, is underway in Paris, Australia.

A couple of big gold medal hopes for Australia in the form of Jessica Hull and the Stingers. Hull will compete in the women's 1500m final. She ran the fifth quickest time ever just a month ago and comes into the final having qualified second fastest despite still being five seconds off her personal best. Also tonight, Australia will finish either with gold or silver in women's water polo. The Stingers will take on Spain in the final having knocked off the US in a thriller semi-final.

And our flag bearers for the closing ceremony have been locked in by the AOC. Swimming gun Kayleigh McEwan and sailing gold medalist Matt Wern will represent Australia for the closing festivities in the City of Love. Looking at the medal tally now, the USA and China are level at the top with 33 gold medals. The States are ahead on silver though. Australia is still in third with 18 ahead of Japan, Great Britain and France. That is the latest from the Paris Olympics. I'm Mike Pearsall.

that Paris 2024 medal tally was thanks to NRMA Insurance, a help company. I didn't realise I could stick with my industry super fund when I retired.

131873, the number, 2GB.com. Click onto the feedback icon if you would like to join us. 32 points to 12, Manly leading Canberra, and that's with a kick to come. Big Paseka scoring a try underneath the sticks, underneath the upright anyway. The black dot, 32-12. Kick to come, Manly leading Canberra, and one of the Raiders has gone to the bin. Big Tarpany, I think you'll find, for what? Mouthing off at the referee. Yeah, he did. There was a...

Well, a decision where a player could have been looked like he was lifted over the horizontal. I think the Raiders were expecting a penalty. It went the other way and Tarpon, I just would say, gave Grant a gopful. Grant? Yes, Grant. Goodbye, champion. Just before we come to you, Piggy, clue number two in the quiz. I'm now at the Broncos and I'm one of the fastest fullbacks in the competitions.

You probably already know who it is. Don't call yet, though. I'm now at the Broncos, and I'm one of the fastest fullbacks in the comp. Once you hear the third clue, 1-300-722-873. 1-300-722-873 as Reuben Garrett converts the Perseco try. It's 34-12, Manly leading Canberra midway through the second half. Now, Piggy, we've had a reply from Big Willis to Big Man's message ahead of his performance at halftime tonight.

He looks like he's making his way up to Coggrove and Big Man sent him a beautiful message before the game. He's pumped. I'm going to play it now. If I can just push play here. Thanks, Big Man, for the message. I'm pumped and I'm ready to put a shot on. LAUGHTER

Put a shot on it. Big Willis, he's ready to go. He's on his way up. The Shell Harbour Sharks taking on someone. I don't know who they're playing at halftime, and Big Willis is ready to go. He does look pumped to me like he's ready to go, Willis. He's ready to go. And I'll say this, ladies and gentlemen, if you're looking at the Shell Harbour Stingrays, number eight, the Shell Harbour Sharks, number eight,

you'll recognise he's a Reddell. Just look for Big Willis. What was the message you sent to him? I just said to him, I said, look, I basically said, look, mate, this is a great opportunity for you. You're playing in front of a big, big crowd. Just go out there, take the first hit up.

If you've got to hit someone high, hit them high. Hang on, hang on. You told a 10-year-old to hit someone high. Well, if he has to. You said to him, if you get sent off, you get sent off. Don't worry about it. No one's going to worry about it. Are you serious? Yes.

What are you going to do as a father if he goes and tries to take a kid's head off the back? I'll clean this one up as well. Then he said, if you've got a squirrel grip him, just do it. It's about being aggressive, this guy. That doesn't mean you've got a squirrel grip him. He's 10. He doesn't have to, but at some stage, if they're in trouble, if you need to do it, do it. You take prisoners in this game, girl. You should know that.

I agree with that. Don't you tell your boys that. I agree with that at a certain level. Not under 10s, though. You've got a 10-year-old squirrel gripping. You can't even spell it. He probably doesn't know what it is. He will now. He'll be Googling. Anyway. It'd be more than Googling. An old mate is being squirreled.

Just a bit of news as Tom Trebojevic scores for Manly. 38 points to 12, kick to karma. They lead the Canberra Raiders down there in GIO Stadium. Former Wallabies star Mark Nwangatini-Tawasi's life as a rooster has officially begun. He could play his first game of rugby league as early as next Sunday. This story being reported by Michael Carriana. So he started training today with the roosters. Now, Piggy, you've got a conundrum you'd like to share. Yeah, I just want to explain a situation that happened to me during the week at the shops and...

I'd like probably a little bit of advice or maybe even if you could jump in my shoes and tell me what you would have done in this situation. So I was down at the local shops, the grocery shops, and I was lining up. Well, I didn't want to name who it was, but I was lining up there. And there was only one register open because we know in this day and age, everything's about self-service, but there's only one register.

sort of register open. I was fourth in line. Right. Okay, so there was a couple putting their groceries on the conveyor belt, two ladies, then myself probably fourth in line. During the process of sort of waiting in line, another lady comes up to one of the ladies that's in front of me and starts talking. Obviously, they knew each other. They were friends. This lady had a basket full of goodies. Yeah.

I don't like where this is heading. She didn't jump in, did she? No, no, no. She just continued to talk and stay in the line with her friend, which happened to be two in front of me. So she pushed in? Yes, she pushed in. And I didn't say anything. I literally, I noticed what was going on.

And I'm not sure whether she meant it or not, but it was almost like she was like, oh, well, I'm in the line now. She just jumped in behind her friend. And you didn't say anything. And I didn't say anything. Oh, you need to grow a suit. And the person in front of you said nothing either. No person in front didn't say anything either. What's wrong with you? Of course you say something. You say, excuse me, there's a line. Get to the back of the queue. Well, part of me was thinking exactly what you're saying. Maybe I should say anything. Then part of me was like, you know what? I've got the time. Does it matter? I'll let her go through. How big was her basket?

It was just the normal basket, and I said this to Levy. I was actually telling Levy this off air. It wasn't like she had two items. So she had a dozen? She had 10 to 15 items. Well, I would have done what you did, but Levy would be aggressive. You would have done what I've done. No, but hang on. If it was a couple of items, I'd say okay.

But if it's a full basket and there's a queue of people, it's rude. I agree. And I think you're entitled to say, excuse me, there's a line here. But the hard thing about it was that it wasn't like she just intentionally pushed in. It was like, you know, she walked up and she went, oh, hello, Mark, how are you going? And they're talking, oh, how's so-and-so, da-da-da-da. This would have been for two or three minutes while the group was putting their... She knew exactly what she was doing. I'm with you, Levy. I think she knew. But what my question is to you, Levy...

If you had said, excuse me, there's a line here, what if they said, and? What if they just stood there and continued to stand there? You can't physically do it. What would you do? I wouldn't have done anything after that, but I would have made the point that she's being rude by pushing in.

I'm not going to sit there and cop it if I've been waiting for 10 minutes to try and get the groceries done. Do you think she was being rude? In your mind, Piggy, you were there, you saw it. I think she knew what she was doing, but I don't know whether she did it on purpose. Did she do a little middle finger to Piggy when she was walking past? No, but I actually, in the end, I was just like, you know what? If that's what you've got to do, that's what you've got to do.

I'm intrigued to what the listeners' response would be in this situation because I'm sure it's happened to people. So I want to get you involved because I've got this meat tray voucher to give away from Stapleton's Quality Meats. Give us a ring on 131873. Would you A...

Just stand there and cop it, accept it, do what Piggy did? Or would you B, make the point that this woman is being rude by pushing in when there are two other people standing at the checkout? I'm intrigued as to what our listeners will say on this, Piggy. We've got the $200 meat tray voucher up for grabs for Stapleton's Quality Meats.

Taking it a bit too seriously there, Craig, I think. Unless it was her first day on the planet, she would have known she was pushing in. That one from Eddie. I tend to agree with Eddie on that one. Thank you, Eddie. Gents, Mark Riddell sucked in by the technique. Nonetheless, chivalry is not dead. Well done, sir. Got me a beauty. Carlo from Shellhaven. Mark, it's very rude every time. I always check who's in front of me and don't push in front of anyone. They know what they are doing. It's a no from me from Patricia. Chris is at Lilliefield. Hello, Chris.

Hi there, guys. Well, I unfortunately am in an older group, and so we were taught not to do things like that. I'm 81 now. And so anyone that does that to me gets a real sounding out immediately right there, tap on the shoulder and hey.

Please move out of there, otherwise or else. Because one of the problems now is that most of the younger generation, and I'm talking now about anyone maybe 50 years younger than me, knows exactly what they're doing. And the stores have decided, some of them don't have even any detectives. I've detected people just walking out with truckloads of stuff without paying.

And the stores say, well, we don't have any money for security. So, sorry, it's too, you know, everybody gets to do what they want. And the staff can't take things into their own hands either. I've heard exactly the same thing. Good on you, Chris. Well, I think he certainly falls into category B by suggesting to the pusher in order to get to the back of the queue. And I understand Chris there. I think he said he taps him on the shot. I couldn't do that.

How old was she? Forties. Forties or fifties. You know what, I think it's, unless you're there and you know the circumstances. But I personally couldn't tap her on the shoulder and say, excuse me, like, you're pushing in here. I'm with you. I couldn't do it. I couldn't do it because if she turned around and just said, so what? What are you going to do? Like, what could you do? You'd just be dumbfounded. I just couldn't do it. Because I know what Levy would do. Oh, yeah. He'd out him straight away. 100%. I couldn't.

I can't do that. I couldn't do that. Remember when he told the bloke at the bakery how to bake bread? Yeah. Well, when you spend a few dollars on bread rolls and they fall apart by the time you get them home, I think you're entitled to say the baker, mate, your bread rolls are crap. And understandable. But in the situation I was in, and I was just...

Like, I was shocked, but I was also like, you know what? I've got time. I'm only going home, and I'm not in a rush. So if you want to push in, push in. And you didn't want to cause a scene. Can I bring in our friend and colleague Brad Fittler from Channel 9 to find out what he thinks about pusher interiors? Hello, Bradley. Hello, Mark. How are you? I'm very well, thank you, mate. People who push in, do they annoy you?

No, I respect them. You respect Port Serena's? Well, they don't care. Everyone else cares so much. They don't care. I see where you're coming from. I kind of respect that attitude, you know. You wouldn't kick up a steeple, would you, Fred?

No. No, I wouldn't. That's the word in anger in my life. Do you reckon Levy? What about Levy? Oh, Levy just blow up. Yeah. Yeah, well. Are we talking about a cafe? Cafeteria? He'll blow up anyway. Oh, mate, I've been known to blow up in the past. Anyway, let's get on to the footy because Channel 9 has free-to-air rugby league on a Saturday night. How good for the last few rounds of the competition. And tonight's a beauty with St. George-Laura taking on Canterbury and

Freddie, we're going to have a jam-packed Coggera to watch two of these great clubs go at it. And they've been two of the big improvers in 2024.

When was the last time that you looked forward to St George playing Canterbury? How good is it? It feels like 20 years, I reckon. I cannot remember the last time there's been so much excitement around these two teams playing. It's going to be awesome. Cogger is like the perfect ground for it too, I think. Just the rich history of it. Canterbury going there after last week, seeing their own crowd just literally demolished.

To mollish anyone who wore a green jumper, they just sort of pretty much threw them onto a train, a few boots in the way, little kicks in their gut. I think if there's a dude that had a Viking head on, that was a smart thing to do. So he got pumped.

That would have been Levy at the shopping centre. Get that stupid head off me. He's a good bloke, the Viking. We met him at Magic Round. He's a good fella. I remember when I was young, when I first started playing Origin, I sat there and there was a sea of maroon jerseys in the crowd. There was barely a single blue jersey in those days.

And then there was these two fools that had a New South Wales banner and jerseys. So they walked in front of the hill at the northern end. So they just got pummeled, just pummeled with cans of beer. So they got to the other end and they were bleeding. I was like 50 or more and they were just bleeding. And the coppers grabbed them and just by the hair and just dragged them out and threw them out. You know what? Common sense law. Bet you it worked.

Hey, Freddie, what about the Dragons, mate? That big win over the Melbourne Storm down there in Melbourne. And then what are you expecting from them tonight at this one, the sellout at Coggera?

I feel like things have to go right for the Dragons. Like, I don't feel like they're as tenacious as the Dogs. If things go right, they're a real dangerous footy team because they've got a really good halfback. I think he's a clever hooker. The fullback's, you know, really skilful and can come up with some good stuff. But I just feel like, you know, they're also capable of throwing a dud in there every now and then. Like, they make me nervous. Mm-hmm.

I don't think the dogs, the dogs don't make me nervous that they'll turn up. I think they'll be strong and committed and, you know. But on their day, the Dragons, as you saw last week, they're so athletic. I mean, look at the team. It's like the whole team's 105 kilos, 6'2", and fast and skillful. Like, it's a weapon of a team, I reckon. Have both these sides surprised you this year, mate, or did you expect this from both these sides? Uh...

I think Canterbury. I'm going to look at Canterbury now, I think. They don't look big. They don't look very intimidating at all, but they've just found a spirit. While the Dragons, I think they've always looked like they're capable if they wanted to. I've got to say I'm surprised by both of them. I thought at the start of the year, and he hates it when I say this, I thought the Dragons had nearly run last. In fact, I did tip them to run last. I thought the Dogs would be fringe in the eights,

But if they win this game, they've almost cemented a spot here, the Dogs. This is a massive game for both these sides. On paper, the Dragons, I think, look talented. You know, I think they have in the past and haven't done much with it. But I've got to say, if you look at the Dragons, I think they look very talented. And that's why, but I think if things are going to go right for them, for the talent to shine, well, the Dogs have just been incredible, really. They've just shown anyone that, you know, once you want to play, there'll be a spirit of a goal and

And, you know, look after your team, mate. You'll win. Love it. All right, mate. Well, we'll see you on the telly tonight and we'll have it covered here on the radio with the Continuous Call team as well. Some footy live and free on nine, you little ripper. Good on you, Brad. Good calling.

Have a great night. See you, legend. There he is, Brad Fittler, pumped up for some rugby league happening tonight. Dragons, Bulldogs from 7.30. And yes, Cogger is officially a sellout.

This game continuing in Canberra where it's Manly 46, Canberra 24. Five minutes left in the second half for Uber Reserve. And speaking of Uber Reserve, with the news coming up in 12 minutes, when you're heading out and can't be late, remember Uber Reserve, the hassle-free way to help you stay on schedule. Reserve now, ride later with Uber Reserve. And just on this game in Canberra, I asked the boys the question. I said, do teams still bus it down to Canberra given, you know, it's a three-hour drive for probably four hours for the Manly boys? And Gabby said, no.

And Gail said, yeah, I'm pretty sure they all still bus it. I don't think the Cowboys, though. I think they'd fly in. Thanks, Scoop.

Long bus ride from Townsville, gal. What I meant was they wouldn't fly to Sydney and bus it. They'd probably fly to Brisbane or Sydney then there.

They wouldn't bus it from Sydney. That was my point. We are ruthless, aren't we? I think you knew what I meant. We are ruthless. I don't think so. No, you did say. George Rose is on the line from points, but hey, George.

Hi boys, how are we? Good mate, good, good. Looking forward to the footy tonight. Let's get the prices on the Dragons-Bulldogs game. I mentioned the earlier game a little earlier in the program. $2.15 St George and LeWarrip. Bulldogs $1.70. The Doggies shaping up as the real deal. Dragons at home in front of a capacity crowd at Cogger. How do you see this one panning out?

Well, look, the Dragons have slowly moved in a little bit over the week. I think the Dragons fans are really getting excited for this one off the back of their performance last week. But I'm loving the doggies. Anyone who celebrates a regular season win the way they did last week, they're a sure thing. They're a sure thing in my book and I'm all over the dogs. What about your same game, Malty George? We love following you into these. Oh,

I've got the Bulldogs head-to-head, and I've got two known try scorers. I've got Zach Lomax, any time try scorer, and Josh Addo-Karr, any time try scorer. Scored a double last week, and I reckon he's back to his best. The two wingers. So Bulldogs head-to-head, Lomax any time try scorer, and Josh Addo-Karr any time try scorer.

That's with our mates at Pointsbet, and you can try the new NRL experience to put your same game multis on. Gow. Hey, George, you make a nice question. Tim Zhu, how's it going? I saw this week you may have a fight coming up. Is that right?

Yeah, yeah. So he's just been mandated for the IBF world title. So he's in a great position. Actually, he's over in Vegas in his training camp at the moment, but Tim Zu's next fight will be for the world title. Where will that be? Will you boys put that in Australia or will that be over in Vegas?

Well, we've got to talk to the champion at the moment, so we're trying to get him over here. We want to get him over here and take his belt in our backyard, but there's a good chance it could end up in the USA. But either way, Timmy will be fighting for that belt, and it'll be a good thing for Timmy. Yeah, that's what we want to hear. Fantastic. That is great news. Good on you, George. Enjoy the footy, mate. We'll hear from you tomorrow.

Cheers, boys. Have a great Arvo. See you, bud. There he is, George Rose. What are you really gambling with? For free and confidential support, go to gamblinghelponline.org.au.

Around the grounds for Uber Reserve, Manly, big win over Canberra, 46-24 in the nation's capital. 46-24, Manly's beaten Canberra. And Australia, the Wallabies have suffered their first loss under Joe Schmidt. They've been touched up 33-7 by South Africa. Tommy on the text line saying, bring back Eddie Jones. No, we don't need that. 46-24, Manly has beaten Canberra in the nation's capital.

And they did it comfortably in the end, which is a shame for Josh Papali. He's 300th game. So he'll be left disappointed after that one. But Manly, 46-24. They've beaten the Canberra Raiders. Are we starting to think Manly are a chance this year, boys? Well, they're playing pretty good football. The thing they have got is the fullback's healthy, you know. And he's just so dominant in that side. He's such a good player.

Look, I couldn't tip them to win the comp, but I think they'll be around the mark. They're going to jump. They're certainly going to be competitive. So for the time being, they'll jump in the fifth from what I'm looking at here. They'll jump on above the Bulldogs and the Cowboys for the time being. Obviously, those two sides got to play tonight. Let's have a listen to what Daly Cherry Evans has got to say on Fox. For Manly Seagulls, Daly, I guess what was the most enjoyable part of that one? Look, the fact that we just got the win today, considering where we were at in the first half, we were...

We knew we were a bit off again today and there's a bit of a trend there, but our response after halftime was awesome. What was the switch you needed to flick there in the second half? Oh, look, obviously defensively. We're just allowing teams to get down the field too easily, you know, making line breaks and stuff. So it's good that we've got stuff to work on this time of the year, but ultimately we want to improve that to get to the finals.

All right, we'll leave it there. Daly Cherry Evans, the Manly captain, off the back of a 46-24 win to Manly over the Canberra Raiders. Now to the $200 meat tray voucher for Stapleton's Quality Meats.

That's the game you'll hear with Chris, Big Man and Gow.

Yeah, correction. Townsville, I think I said Suncorp for the 5.30 game. Piggy, who are you tipping in these two games? Cowboys, Broncos, Dragons, Bulldogs? Yeah, I've gone the Cowboys in the first game. The boys will call. And then in the second one, I think I'm going the Dragons at Coggerup. The Dragons. Mate, avoid Princess Highway to be practical.
