Now, live, right across Australia, the Continuous Call team. He'll play at 20 metres in from the eastern touchline. Carlos Duncan on the hands of Cody Walker. Now to Luttrell. Throws the cut out. Oh, it's only appropriate. 1,000 points.

For the South Sydney Rabbitohs, is their top try scorer Alex Johnston a nice try, a great milestone for this great club, a foundation club in the South Sydney Rabbitohs. With Mark Levy, Daryl Broman, Paul Gallen and Mark Riddell.

You know what he did last night, Ray, which is a bit incestuous, I think is the word. What? Let's be careful. I don't know if you know what that word means. He slept at his wife's parents' place. That's the in-laws we stay with. With his wife in the same room. So he's at his parents' place with their children.

daughter in the same room as her. They've got three kids, you idiot. I don't care. You're talking about the levels of decency, I think. Yes, I am. Well, I don't think that Mr and Mrs... Smith. Oh, another Smith family. Another alias. That was Robert Smith. You've got a son called Robert Smith and you're married to the Smiths. Oh, what a wonderful... How is Nettie going? Ha ha!

Live sport and laughter right across your weekend. This game is going to be an absolute cracker and I can feel some of my most famous lines coming on. Like what? Well, you know, let's hope no one goes near the sideline. They should treat it like a precipice. Exactly.

Anyway, let's buckle up.

Let's buckle up. It's going to be a great night of footy. The Continuous Call team, thanks to Macca's, Harvey Norman, Lowe's, Ram Trucks, Uber, Bryden's Lawyers, First Choice Liquor, Karcher, 1-800-GOT-JUNK, Castrol, Ducks Hot Water and Westpac. We might touch on a story in relation to pandas.

There's a Wang Wang and Fu Ni that are being taken back to China because they haven't been breeding. Is that a joke? I'm serious. In Adelaide, Adelaide Zoo, they're shipping them back to China because they're not breeding Wang Wang and Fu Ni. Wang Wang needs to use his Wang Wang. The problem is Wang Wang and Fu Ni no bang bang.

And now on 2GB Sydney, 4BC Brisbane and network stations across Australia, it's time for the Continuous Call Team. The USA Short and Round of the National Rugby League as we head to Melbourne for State of Orange.

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome along to the continuous call team as we do it from the McDonald's interactive studio as New South Wales and Queensland ramp up their preparations for Wednesday night showdown at the MCG. The NRL is telling us there'll be a crowd of over 90,000

at Australia's version of the Coliseum. And what a thrill it'll be for the players when they run onto the iconic ground, the Toasted Boxing Day Test Matches, AFL Grand Finals. Most of the talk this week is centred around a comment about glass houses by Michael Maguire. But Billy Slater insists he doesn't know what the New South Wales coach is talking about. We'll check in with both camps as they base themselves on the Gold Coast and in the Blue Mountains. I also want to delve into an origin battle that I saw on Channel 9 last night.

because the performance of the G-string Paul Gallen was embarrassing. Fancy blaming a tennis racket for completely missing a serve from Samantha Stoser.

Anyway, more on that shortly. As always, we'd love to hear from you this afternoon. 131873, the number you can email us via the website. So we click onto the feedback icon and that text lines up and running 0460 873 873. Plenty of news around today, including John Singleton willing to stump up whatever it takes to get the Newtown Jets back into the NRL.

Talon Mays won a court injunction to prevent the Panthers from tearing up his contract. While in the footy, Jerome Hughes toyed with the opposition as Melbourne held on to beat the Dolphins 30-24 at Suncorp Stadium. And I also want to give an enormous rap to the players who featured for their respective states on Thursday night at Leichhardt Oval in the under-19s Origin Games.

It's clear to me the game is in safe hands with some of the talent coming through. And the New South Wales Blues ended up winning both the men's and women's games. That's enough from me. Let's welcome the continuous call team. Daryl Broman, Paul Gallen and Mark Riddell. Good afternoon to you fellas. But it's an important day for one member of the team. It's my birthday today.

Yes, Daryl Broman is here. Daryl, good afternoon to you, my friend. And happy birthday, champion. Thank you, everybody. Birthdays are always a bit of fun. I mean, the more you have, the probably less you enjoy them. But I am enjoying it. It's a good day. I'm here working with my very, very, very good friends.

Levy and Piggy. You've got to do me a favour, Daryl. Of all days, for his birthday, of all days. Think about this. No, no, no, stop, stop, stop. Guess what? It's his birthday, so he gets to do whatever he wants today. You know what else is going to happen today? My friend Paul, who's a very close friend of mine, he is going to shout me a coffee and he's doing it straight away. Again, again. 16 weeks he has not had a shout for. 16 weeks. This week was the week he was going to shout. I've walked in happy as Larry, thinking I'm finally going to get a coffee for the big man. No.

It's Big Man's birthday. You know how that works. He couldn't believe it. I could not believe it. Don't worry about that, Daryl. You know this little place I'm opening. I've got a video from this fool over here standing behind the coffee machine making himself a free coffee at my little restaurant. Little freebie. What the hell's going on there? Making my own one. I know how to make coffee. Hello? You've broken the law. You don't have a responsible service of alcohol. You've gone behind a bar into a licensed area.

You, my friend, have broken the law. I reckon that would be a you problem, not a me problem, because you're the licensee. Exactly. And you weren't there, so I reckon that's a you problem. Okay, well, if it's my problem, it's now a you problem. No, it's not. Because you're bar. You are bar. You've been cut off. Put the face up at the front. I reckon if that happens, the whole bar will be shut, so I wouldn't be bringing it up again. Now, Big Man, more importantly, how have you spent your birthday this morning? Any presents from the family? Yes, I did. I got a number of presents. We had a lovely breakfast together.

Lizzie and James, my daughter and her partner, and the baby came over, Harley, and Ruby was there. So we had all the people who are currently in my family living in Sydney at the breakfast. Actually, I cook some breakfast. Bev's a bit crook at the moment, so I cooked some bacon and eggs. It was beautiful. So we had a nice day, and the little bloke just getting better and better. How's your big H? How's he going? He's going good, mate. I think he's nine weeks now. It goes so quickly. That's crazy. Yeah.

But, mate, he's beautiful. He's smiling, smiles a lot, and he's a good kid. He sleeps like six or seven hours at night. It's so good. Lizzie doesn't know. Well, I'm not saying how lucky she's got it because she's doing a great job, and it's not easy being a first-time parent, as you two would know. I mean, there's no...

right or wrong things to do. No manual to it, is there? No, there's no. You just, you know. You wing it. You're just hoping for the best and hope the kid's all right. But, no, he's been great. So I've had a lovely day so far. Thank you. Well, Darryl, Tiffy's been in touch. Happy birthday, big man. Glenn at Penrith, happy birthday, Darryl. Have a great day, mate. From Bernadette.

giant happy birthday to Daryl Gregory Broman. Happy birthday, Mr. Broman, you bloody legend from Terry. So the listeners like a big D. And you've got to do me a favour. Yes, I am. Andrew, our executive producer, has gone and bought you a lovely birthday cake. Oh, really? And I'm going to leave it up to you when we light the candles, sing you happy birthday so you can nominate a time and we'll do that this afternoon. He just ate three cakes out there.

He seriously just ate three cakes out there. He's going to need half an hour. Can I just take you to task there? How many, did anyone see me eat three cakes? I saw you eat at least one. I did eat one. I was using exaggeration to stress a point. A little bit of GST. GST to stress a point. What was I want to say? I went to, I, I,

I was going to buy him a coffee. I still am going to buy him a coffee. Thank you. And he said, I might have an iced coffee today with a little bit of sprinkles on top. Cream. I said, big man, I'm not even doing that. I actually had a meeting at this particular coffee shop the other day. The person I was with asked for an iced coffee. They don't make them. Oh. I'm sure they don't make them. Who were you having a meeting with?

Actually, Ruth Thompson and a couple of other people. Oh, yeah. A bit of a Tomo's missus. There was a bit of drama, Darrell. Tell it, Corp. Ray was doing his show from home this particular day, but Paul's come in here and sat in Ray's chair, and Ray was very cranky. Well, I come in to surprise him. I actually thought I'd make his day, and he wasn't here. I couldn't believe it. So I sat in that chair, my feet up on the desk, and sent him a picture. I didn't get a reply for about three hours. And then when I did get a reply, it was not very nice. LAUGHTER

And I went, oh. So luckily, I did actually donate some money to a charity, Aloha, which he was talking about that day. So I made sure I let him know that. So hopefully, he'll send me back in the good books. So you thought you'd just drop a little bomb, and then you'd poof yourself. Oh, donate some money. That's 100% right.

Bit of extra folding for the pigmeister today. Hello, Piggy. Hello, Levy. Good afternoon. Gal, Big Man. Happy birthday, Big Man, and to all our listeners. In the rotating chair. Yeah, come up for the day. He was a little naughty last night on the coverage too, Daryl. Excuse me? Spoke about a cramp that's going to land him in the principal's office on Monday. What are you talking about? You are insinuating that...

other things happened when that was never the case. You, my friend, suggested to our listeners that you got a cramp during the week. In the hamstring. And the way in which you said, I was doing something, implied that you may have been doing something a little bit naughty. Naughty. No, not at all. It's not naughty when you're married, is it? Well, it was a bit hard to disguise when I called for the pickle juice. LAUGHTER

Carly, get the pickle juice. Now, Piggie, I might ask you because we're leading into the Olympics and you'll hear the Olympic Games live here on 2GB and 4BC. And the management team of Nine Radio, of 2GB and 4BC, put a table tennis table downstairs to get the staff in the mood for what's to come. And I believe that Daryl and Paul have gone head-to-head this morning. Yeah, they did. They went head-to-head pre-show. I was the umpire or referee. And, look, I've got to say, it was...

All one-way traffic. Total domination. I think it took a while for me to... You didn't have a warm-up, big man. Yes, he did. He played you. But I'm just saying, I think if you look through the rules and you go through the video, I think you'll find if you said it was three serves each, is that what you said? We went off three serves each, first to 11. I think you might see that there could be reason for a protest because I don't think...

Out of the first six serves, I didn't have three. It was 2-1. It was 2-1 and we rotated. Table tennis infringement. We swapped ends. He wanted to swap ends. We swapped ends for one point. I didn't even take that point. Then he wanted to swap back.

He didn't like that end. Everything was his way and it still didn't work out. I think we need to go to the video. Pretty much. You know, it was actually like the real Origin Series. It's all about Queensland. Everything's about Queensland. But you know what? We got there at the end. That'll happen this week. If you want to have a look at the big man on his birthday going head-to-head with the G-string, you can head to the 2GB Facebook, Instagram and Twitter pages, the Continuous Call Team Twitter page.

At Continuous Call, I think is the handle, is what you call it. You can have a look at the boys up there. Well, obviously, plenty of excitement as we lead into Origin Wednesday night. Darrell, Queensland with a chance to make it a third straight series victory under Billy Slater. They've been forced into a couple of changes. No Selwyn Combo, no Felice... No, I should say... Who's the other one missing?

Hopgood, Hopgood, Jermaine Hopgood with the back injury. So Felice Kifusi comes into the starting side. Kurt Cape will back in. How are you feeling, Big D? I'm pretty confident they'll win. They're a good side. I mean, the record down there is not great. 4-1, I think it is, to the Blues. So, you know, the Blues, I keep reading this is a better side. Well, why didn't they pick that first game?

If there's a better team. Moses was out. Luttrell had just come back. Luttrell had just come back. He'd been suspended. I would have picked him again when I said that. Luttrell was available. Yeah, I would have picked him, I said. Okay, well, there's three more. But they never. Why didn't you pick them? Who else got picked? Well, they made five changes. Got rid of McGuinness. Well, they made five changes because they lost. They generally make a lot of changes. Well, some change when they lose. No, it's just a statement. I just thought that. Is that like you blokes and pick and stick? We're just pick and stick. Yeah, of course. Like Cobber.

Cobbo's gone. Pick and stick. Oh, we pick and stick. No, Cobbo went because of a problem. What was the problem? I'm not telling you. He's getting needles one second, then there's an issue with his attitude the next. Which one is it? What about your man, Cam McGuinness? Don't change the subject. Phil, very sorry. How many minutes will the captain play, you reckon? It doesn't matter. As long as he does his job, that's all that matters. As long as they win.

So he didn't do his job for the 29 he was on the first game? I thought he did, yeah. But it was probably a different circumstance in the match where they had to chase points. I wouldn't say Jake is a points chaser. He's more of a leader with his actions, particularly defensively. And they had to score points. It's a big difference. If you're a leader with your actions, shouldn't you be on the page? Defensively, I said. I said defensively. I don't know. Did I say that? Let's keep going. If you only hear...

you want to hear. That's your call going. But you didn't say different. I did say, did I not say different? Can we run this hate back? Is this what happens every Saturday? Vicky, I think you've now realised why I much prefer Sundays. It's like a married couple in here just arguing non-stop about nothing.

Anyway, Gal, New South Wales with a job to do. Mitchell Moses, his kicking game is going to be important. Latrell Mitchell, all the reports are that he's looking good. He's fit. He's ready to go. Dylan Edwards at fullback. How are you feeling about the Blues? Yeah, I feel good. I feel confident. Look, I was really confident before game one too. As we know, pretty big blow. They were dealt early on in the match, which was their own fault. No one to blame there but Swale himself. But that's been said and done. I think they can get the job done. I think a lot comes down to their forward packs. You know, big games, forward packs.

really win the match, they have to put the Blues in good field positions. If they can do that by winning the battle in the middle of the field, it'll bring Latrell, bring Moses into the game, and they can hopefully get some points. But if they're constantly coming off their line and Moses has to find some big kicks, look, that's part of the game. They can do it, but they need to win that battle in the middle of the field because we all know that's not Latrell's game. Latrell's no good coming out of his end. He doesn't want to do that tough stuff. He wants to do the pretty stuff, the flamboyant stuff.

So we need to get him in that field position to be able to do it. So hopefully they can win the battle there and get the job done Wednesday. Where's it won and lost, Piggy? Do you agree with Gale? Yeah, I agree with everything Gale said there. Look, obviously Moses' kicking game is really important. I think they've got to really put a lot of kick pressure on Cherry Evans, who does a lot of the kicking, obviously, for the Queensland side. A lot of pressure on him, but yeah, through the middle.

You know one player I want to see stand up for New South Wales? Payne Haas. I want him to dominate through the middle for New South Wales like he does at that club level. It'd be nice to see him come out on Wednesday night and do that. Why are you smirking? You are the mini big man. Look at you. Feet up on the desk, arms crossed. They're both crossed the same way. You're the mini big man.

Nothing wrong with that. We've got a bright future in this industry. They're sitting next to each other. Now I'm going to stop. Feet up on the desk. Would you rather be like me or Gallant? 131873 is the number. You can email us via the website. You can text us as well, 0460 873 873. And there are some beautiful messages coming through for you today, Daryl. And I have a feeling, ladies and gentlemen, with a bit

more sugar from the cakes that we've got ready for the big man. He is going to be in fine form today, giving it to Gow, giving it to New South Wales and delivering some comedy. I'd be giving it to New South Wales. I like New South Wales, but I prefer Queensland a lot more. 131873. Daryl, it's State of Origin time. You're supposed to hate New South Wales. I don't hate New South Wales, but there are a lot of great players there. Oh, you've gone soft. Why?

It's State of Origin time. So what? I'll be barracking for Queensland and I hope they win. That's right. I don't think we can. That's right, mister. I'll put a New South Wales scarf and beanie on because I was in model mode. Forget the mode. Come down to one thing. Money mode. Money, money, money. Money, money, money, money.

That's what it was all about. How much did you get? Mate, I did under $5,000. Are you serious? Just under. That's ridiculous. Not one photo. It depends. Anyway, we'll take a break. Come back with more Continuous Call today. Wayne says, good afternoon, boys. Like to wish the big man a very happy birthday. What a top man. Gal could learn a lot from him. Thank you, Wayne.

Kate says, happy birthday, Big Marn. I think this calls for the Continuous Call team to sing a raucous chorus of happy birthday live on air to celebrate the big day. Kate will certainly do that a little bit later on when we get the Big Marnies birthday cake. And there was one here that I saw from Theo. Piggy was very upset, Levy, last week about the wind turbines off the south coast.

Would he be happy if Dutton cancels them and instead proposes a nuclear power station on the south coast from Theo at Mount Gravatt? Well, Theo, what I can tell you is that Piggy's been locked behind closed doors this morning in some animated phone discussions with ministers of the Crown, journalists trying to ensure that the wind turbines are not built on the south coast. Yes, and I think we're getting progress there. Oh, really? Yes. You're going to sway the federal government, are you? What's the issue with the turbines? I don't want them. No.

Just because they don't look good? Yeah, I don't want to look at them out the back. What about powering your house? Well, put them at Cronulla. Cronulla's got no space. Cronulla's got no room. Cronulla's got no room. You know what? Put them from Cronulla to Bondi and up all the way up to Manly. There's no space. There's plenty of space. They put them in the ocean. That's where they're going. In the ocean. Do you read a newspaper a lot? You know I don't read newspapers. It's been the biggest issue of the week. Oh, sorry.

And it got dropped on us last Friday night. I wasn't happy. Although they stuck it on the hills. No, they are. There are some like that. But these ones have got... Anyway, there's a lot of holes in the whole project. Well, isn't this the problem on the south coast? There's a shelf that drops off and it won't be able to anchor anywhere? They want to put them off 20 kilometres off the coast. Well, the shelf's there, the continental shelf's there. Good luck getting them down. How are they going to anchor them? Anyway... Why don't they just anchor them to your place? No, no, thank you. I do not want to see...

wind turbine things out the back. 20 k's, that's a fair way. Yeah, but they're 200 and something metres high. Yeah, but around a little pin, a bit. Yeah, but I don't want to see them. Well, look at them out of your way, out of Cronulla. But if we're to take one from Stephen Blocker Roach and put them in club colours, they'll look quite good off the case, won't they? Put them out the front of your place. But I think, well, I don't live on the water, mate. I'm not as

Well, I can't afford to live in Sydney. I'm at Sylvania, mate. I'm up on a hill. Sylvania, see? Sylvania Heights. Remember the show? 131873, the number. Let's check in with the New South Wales Origin team. Their assistant coach is John Cartwright, and he's on the line. Hey, Carty. Good afternoon, boys. Mate, you're still up in the Blue Mountains, freezing your backsides off.

No, it's beautiful up here, Mark. Not a cloud in the sky. No, it's freezing cold, to be honest with you. How's the week been, mate? Obviously, the team was named earlier this week. You've sort of ramped up training and everything else. Everybody good to go? Yeah, you're a little bit further advanced with your second camp. We haven't had to change a hell of a lot as far as players are concerned, and

Dylan's got to spend a bit of a hiccup in the first one with Dylan missing out and Teddy coming in, but it's been none of that so far, touch wood. As I said, second week in, the combinations just naturally are a little bit better. Cardi, because of the situation that we saw, obviously, in game one, and we probably don't need to go back there, but

Off the back of that game and seeing New South Wales play with 12 men, was it hard to take some stuff out of that for the game too? Or as you said, do you just stick with the plan that you had in game one and go on with game two?

Yeah, you've got to take the good bits out of it, Biggie. There was a lot of effort. It's very hard to defend a scoreline like it was. It certainly was disappointing, some of the tries that were scored. We sort of dissected it and it didn't matter with a few of them that we only had the 12 men out there. It came down to just some missed tackles. The second half, there was a lot of effort that went in to get us back. At 20-10, it was game on. We were attacking their line.

We come up just short and we let a runaway try go, which is, you know, again, I don't think that come down to us having 12 men. It was... We just missed the mark. So a lot of positive come out of it, but a lot of honesty. And, you know, even though we had 12 men and probably...

it was always going to be tough to win. I really thought we had some chances to stay in the game a little bit longer. Come on, I'm going to ask you a very technical question. When do you decide you've got to go to Melbourne? And what is the process here? Do you feel as though that you go, is the thought amongst the coaches and the brains there, you go later or earlier or what? What's the process of travelling to Melbourne?

It's sort of all around your training, does. So we probably had our main day today. We had a day off yesterday and a pretty tough day the day before. You know, they'll stay here tonight. A bit of just a team night, dinner together. And we don't have to rush tomorrow. Tomorrow's a day off. So it's pretty much all around your training, mate. We can travel on our day off, take our time. They'll get a sleep in.

I think we fly up in the afternoon, but down there in plenty of time to get them settled into the hotels and dinner and then a light run the following day. Carter, you've had plenty of origin series, but Michael McGuire, this is his first one. I actually thought he'd done a really good job this week of what he said earlier in the week of taking some pressure off the players. But how's he handled the whole situation in your opinion? I came in...

You know, on what I was really looking forward to was working, you know, alongside a coach that's done what Madge has done in the game. And, mate, I've learned a hell of a lot, to be honest with you. I couldn't have been more impressed with how he's prepared the team. We've got the best footballers. You know, both teams have got the best footballers in the country. It's, you know, it's not...

about the football as much. It's more about bringing them together. So that's where I think, from what I've witnessed, mate, it's a huge strength of Madge's. He's constantly mentally just getting them ready for the night, bringing them together. For me, it's been a great learning experience to watch how he's done it.

John, do you, I'm assuming people like yourself and Daryl look at the modern day players and think, geez, times have changed from back when we were playing the game. Do you find yourself looking at their preparation and going, you know, we probably would have had about 20 beers by now, but it's all about, you know, preparations, ice baths and all these different things?

Darryl was a great mentor of mine. I was like that before I met Darryl. No, mate, you're dead right. There's more time now spent in getting ready

for the game, getting ready for training, finishing training and winding down and getting ready for the next day. It's pretty much just a continuous cycle of getting ready for the next day, you know, and being able to give your best. And then from the moment they walk off the field, it's all about recovery and eating well and sleeping well. And the next morning, getting ready for that training session, it's a

To say it's changed a hell of a lot would probably be understating it. Hey, Cardi, I just want to congratulate you, mate. Obviously, next season, the head of Hull FC, head coach, that's exciting for you to get back into it. Yeah, it is, mate. I sort of was in, I suppose...

At the end of the day, I was just a little bit tired of being an assistant coach. I'm fortunate enough to have been a head coach in the past. And I've had great experiences working under different coaches. And I just felt the time was right, mate. I'm probably towards the end of doing what I'm doing. And if I waited any longer, I might not have got that opportunity. So it's just a bit of an itch that I've always wanted to get rid of and

You know, I played over in England at the back end of my career and I really enjoyed it. So, you know, I'm looking forward to it. Got the young bloke over there as well, eh? Is he playing this weekend?

No. Next weekend. Later in the week, mate. Yeah. Yeah, they've got a bye next week, so they thought it was probably better just to, you know, just have him a couple of weeks over there, get some train under his belt. And, yeah, I think he comes – they've got a bye next week. He'll have his first game the following week. Nice. One more, Darrell. One more. I'm particularly pleased – you did mention I was a mentor of yours over the years. Oh.

I feel as though I maybe did my best work for you when we were in Hawaii on our trips away on occasions. Would you agree with that? Yeah, well, you were my first ever roommate, Darryl. How was he? That I picked up along the years, they all started with you. How was he, Cardi, as a roomie? Outstanding. Funnily enough, mate, he was very good. I've got to say, talk about learning under Badger, I never stopped learning under Darryl. LAUGHTER

And you're a quick learner, Cartwright. I like that. Good on you, John. Good luck on Wednesday, mate. I'm sure the boys will do the state proud. Thanks, boys. Good on you, mate. John Cartwright, one of the good men in rugby league and obviously working under Michael Maguire as an assistant coach with the Blues. Just quickly, word through from the Roosters. Tonight's highly anticipated game between the Bulldogs and the Roosters is officially a sellout. It's in Gosford.

Due to overwhelming demand, the available tickets for tonight's match have been exhausted. Consequently, the club requests that those without a pre-purchase ticket refrain from coming to the stadium as no tickets will be available at the box office. Play gets underway at 5.30. The Roosters and the Bulldogs, they sincerely thank members, supporters and the Central Coast community for their tremendous support. So the Roosters and Bulldogs game at 5.30 this afternoon is officially a sellout in Gosford.

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

Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance. Consider the fund's PDS and whether the product is right for you. Breaking news from Peter Bedell in the Courier Mail. The Chief Rugby League rider, the Maroons, have received a huge boost with starback rower Jeremiah Nanay a certain starter to face the Blues in Origin 2. Billy Slater breathing a sigh of relief after he completed his first training session. The Maroons had a scare early in the week when he missed Queensland's first two training runs with a corked calf.

Are you feeding chickens over there, Gail? I mean, God, seriously. Could you imagine a Queenslander almost going down, almost missing out in the game in an Origin week? Far out. Don't start sniffing today. The Queenslanders might catch it. Well, they might, but they'll probably be right. I mean, we'll battle on. We'll just do our best.

That's all we can do. 131873 is the number. Hi, Mark. So looking forward to Wednesday's State of Origin. I love listening to you and the boys. And what I know about footy would not fit in the head of a pin. Regarding Mitchell Moses, he could have no better mentor than his uncle, Benny Elias. Liz, a Blues supporter. Happy birthday, big man. May you...

Be blessed with good health and many more birthdays. A lovely message there from Liz. And there was one here as well that's, here it is, from Scotty at Campbelltown. Afternoon, Levy, Big Man, Gal, Piggy. All the best to you on your birthday, Daryl. You are one of my favourites over the past years. But it is origin time, so Gal, absolutely give it to the G train. Go the Blues from Scotty. Thank you, Scotty. It's got to win Wednesday night. That's all that matters. That's all that matters. Phil's at Winston Hills. G'day, Phil.

Oh, g'day, team. You're the best team in the world, and I'd like to thank you on behalf of my son and the team. I got his care package, and he loved the jersey.

And not just to mention also that, but he's got no hair, so the hats were good. And big man, happy birthday. Thank you, Phil. The only thing that surprised him was how gal on the T-shirts, the photo of gal, how far he's let himself go. LAUGHTER

I'm actually the only one that looks half decent, I thought. Aren't I looking all right on the T-shirt? I'm looking all right. I'm not commenting on mine. Piggy's still dirty at the cartoon. Filthy at the cartoon. Just for those listeners that aren't familiar, Phil, you rang, was it last week or the week before, your little bloke's battling cancer at the moment and he's doing it a bit tough. How's he going, mate? Is he okay?

He had his sort of mid-range chemo session yesterday and we presented him the pack and he loved it. He's now got another couple of months to go. But look, the specialist said, yep, he's doing all right, but he's still got a couple of months to go. Well, mate, you stay strong for him and you send our best wishes to him because we're all thinking of him at this tough time. All right, Phil?

Yeah, thanks, mate, and thanks, team. Good on you, buddy. Keep your chin up, mate. 131873 is the number. Denise at Hunters Hill. She's a Roosters fan. Hello, Denise. Hello. How are you guys? What are you up to today? Well, we're just about entertaining the fans today, Denise. That's about all I'm entertaining. That's what I'm doing. What are you doing, Gail? Just nothing. I'm here. Learning off you. Meet Piggy and leave. You'll be entertaining the fans. Gail will just be punishing. Argumentative as usual. What have you got for us, Denise?

I want to wish Big Man a very, very happy birthday. Thanks, Denise. That's lovely of you. I've got a sister with the name Denise, you know.

Have you? Which is amazing. She's actually overseas at the moment, so she's having a tour around with her husband. I'm looking after my auntie's dog. She's in hospital. Well, I hope she's all right. I hope she gets out quick enough. I mean, you've got to look after those dogs. Well, Denise, thank you for giving us a ring and wishing Daryl a very happy birthday. Thank you. And I'll throw you into the draw for the running for the $200 meat tray voucher from Stapleton's Quality Meats. And they actually rewarded an

Well, they picked up another award this week. Mark, our man from Stapleton's Quality Meats, actually texted me during the week to tell me that they'd won, for the four out of the last five years, the Stapleton's Quality Meats Carrillo Village Outstanding Poultry, Fish and Meat Award.

in the Sutherland Shire Local Business Awards. How good's that? So well done to Mark and his incredible team. They work across two shops and they do a fantastic job down there at Sylvania and Carrilla in the Shire. But I know a lot of our listeners who have been down there to buy Stapleton's quality meats, they're all raving about it. So well done to Mark and the team. It actually brings me onto a topic I was going to discuss. Would it be okay to mention it to you? Go for your life. I heard an ad today saying that if the cattle, if a cow or...

steer, whatever it is we eat, if they're happier, they taste better. Do you think that's true? Yeah, I do. Do you think a happy...

cattle or cow or whatever. What do we eat? Do we eat the boys or girls when we have meat? Well, it depends. I'm sure you've had a bullier in there, but... So what do you think? But how happy are they going to be when they... I'll tell you why I reckon that. I'll tell you why I reckon that. Why would that be? Because think about when you're all tense and you're upset and you're stressed in life, your body, you're tense. Your muscles tense. You're...

your muscles are the meat, that's what we eat, so they tense up. I don't. I just eat more. But wouldn't you think that everyone would be tense because they're about to get their heads chopped off? No, but they don't know that. They don't know that. If they live a happy life, if they live a happy life and they walk here, they walk there, then one day they walk and all of a sudden a bog goes through their head, which is what happens, they don't know what's going on. All right.

It's a surprise attack. That's exactly right. That's what happened. But if you live a crap life and you're stressed and you're upset all the time, your muscles are all going to be tense. You're going to have stuff flowing through your vein, your brain. Yes, 100%. I'm telling you. Mate, you can't tell me. Why would they say that? You can't tell me when they're in the...

What's it called when they go into the place and they get... Abattoir. Abattoir. When they're in the abattoir, you can't tell me there's not a cow on the other side of the road going, right for your life. But if they've lived a happy life before that, if they've been happy and they've been well fed and they've been well hydrated and everything's good, it's such is life. I would think probably...

As long as they've been well fed, they'd be happy. Tell me, why would they make that up, saying a happy cow is a better tasting cow? Why would they make that up? I don't think they are making that up. I'm just saying I don't understand why a happy cow would taste better than a cranky cow. Because of what I said to you, they're not tense. Their muscles are relaxed. How do you know cows' muscles are tense? When's the last time you saw a tense cow?

I haven't. You know they have masseuses. Yes. That's true, this. They have cow masseuses that go in and massage. For the Wagyu cows. So wouldn't you think a Wagyu cow that gets massaged would be a whole lot happier and taste better than some fat cow sitting in the back of some paddock that's got nothing? When the cow gets a massage, does it go and lay on its back on the couch?

Does it have to wear its undies? Almost all beef in developed countries... It lays on her back. It's like chicken. Oh, you've got the wrong teeth. Can you put that cigarette out, please? I'll have a beer while I'm out of here. Almost all beef in developed countries is from steers and heifers, so castrated males and females that have never been breeds. Okay, steers and heifers. But don't you reckon it's like chicken, like...

Free-range chicken, free-range eggs are better than caged eggs, don't you think? I don't know about eggs. Actually, I had some beautiful eggs this morning for breakfast, but I don't know what sort they were. I reckon they were free-range. No, I think Darling got them from one of the, I don't know, were they free-range? Could you combine free-range at Carl's and Woolies? There's free-range, there's barn, isn't there barn eggs? I think it's more to do with what you prefer to eat. Do you prefer to eat eggs that come from a chicken that's allowed to run around and do its thing? Or do you prefer to eat eggs that are...

I thought it would have had something to do with the eggs themselves. Wouldn't you think? No, I don't. Like what Gail was sort of saying there. Some people are good eggs and some are bad eggs. Free-range eggs. But even the term free-range eggs, isn't there a...

thing like of the square metre rate of what that actual chicken is. I think it would be allowed to be spoken about pretty loosely. All right, look, I'm going to take a break. 131873, the number if you'd like to weigh in on about, what are we talking about? Eggs and whether a happy cow would taste better. 131873, the number. Email us via the website. You can text us as well. 0460 873 873. On the way to the break, many things in life are unpredictable.

We'll be right back.

And it's easy to use. Just head into the Uber app, tap the reserve icon and choose your pickup day and time. Then relax and meet your driver when it's time. Conditions apply. Reserve now, ride later with Uber Reserve. Dudley's listing. I had a tense cow in the yards last week. Put me over the fence. Gals onto it. The buildup of lactic acid in the meat is tough. Cheers, boys, and happy birthday to the big man. That one from...

Dudley. Thank you, Dudley. He was supporting Gal. Yeah, but he said happy birthday, so I still can't say thank you. Gal is 100% correct. Happy cow will taste better and free-range eggs are far better. And yes, you can tell the difference with the quality and taste of the egg. That one from Donna. Thanks, Donna. Wayne's at Blacktown. Hello, Wayne.

Yeah, g'day. First of all, happy birthday to the big man. Thank you, mate. Been an ex-butcher and now a tow truck driver at Blacktown. G'day, Luby. Hello. Just wanted to say gal is right. It's about the bleeding of the beast when it's knocked on the head, how relaxed it is. It bleeds better. It eats better. And also, heifers eat better than steers. Wayne, can I ask you a question? You seem to know a bit about this. I used to love a T-bone.

Yep. Right. And I've found the last, I reckon the last three or four years, I've tried to buy T-bones and I have a lot of trouble finding a tender T-bone. Is there any reason for that?

Grass-fed beef is a lot better. Find a butcher that just does grass-fed. If it's had a bit of grain, I'm not a big believer in grain-fed. I think it's a lot tougher. So if you find a butcher that's got grass-fed meat, you'll find that you won't have a problem. This week I went to the butcher and bought a nice...

Thick steak on the bone. I can't remember exactly what it was called, but it was quite expensive. Steak on the bone. Yeah. I got home, and my missus does the best cooking, but she's not the greatest cook. But the steak wasn't that nice. Why do you think that was? Was that just a bad bit of steak? Just a bad bit of steak. You know, there's good and bad. The trouble is, in this country, you know, back when I started back in the 70s, you know, the quality was right up there, and the low quality was down there. We started exporting. Oh, yeah.

Yep. We've lost you, Wayne. Are you saying your missus, did you say she's not a good cook? Well, she does the best. I don't complain often, but this was a nice bit of steak. I was really looking forward to it. How much did you pay a kilo for it, roughly? I think about $65. Oh, you expect a good piece of steak for that. You've got a barbecue at home. Why don't you go out and do it yourself? It's not my job. I don't...

Cut it. I ate it. Listen, you're going to upset a lot of our lovely listeners. I can't trust my good bits of steak with anyone else. I like to cook mine. So do I. Do you? Yeah, because then I know how it's cooked. If you're going to spend $60 a kilo on steak, go and put it on the barbecue out the back and do it yourself. I don't like cooking. It's a barbecue, mate. It's not crazy. Don't you cook? Don't you cook? Can I tell you that and all what we're doing? I was out coaching working. Okay? I got home for dinner. Give me a break.

I can't do everything. Mate, it takes five minutes on a barbecue. I didn't want to cook it. I'd say you're un-Australian. Why? Because I don't like cooking. On a barbecue, most Australian men, I think it would be fair to say, enjoy getting out. People say the same thing to me when they mow lawns. I don't like mowing lawns either. You don't like doing anything by the sounds of things. No, when it comes to maintenance. Today was Saturday. Hey, no, no, no, no. We're not going there. I'm just going to text Danny Gallen.

Just out of interest, why did you marry this bloke? Anyway, we're off to a break. Back with more. Yeah, a few people saying, Big Man, if you're looking for a nice T-bone, go down to Stapleton's, one of our sponsors. I will have to go there. I know a couple of the Stapleton boys, and they're great people, but I must admit I haven't been shopping there, but I will go there. Yeah, down at Sylvania and Carrillo. Just wondering, boys, due to the bird flu outbreak in Freeman's Reach, is the duck in quarantine for me? LAUGHTER

If Duck's in quarantine, I think I know what he'll be doing. Drinking dribbles. The Duck. What does he drink? Is it bourbons? What's he drink? Is it two of his new drinks? No, he's actually on the mid-strength at the moment. He had a bit of a heart issue, so he's on the mid-strength, the Duck. I'm on the mid-strength. I'd issue as in the cost of a full strength. No, no, he had a heart attack. So why does the mid-strength help? How's that work? Don't give a drug so quickly. Rather than give himself a hammering on the super, he just has the mid-strength.

Anyway, I spoke to him this morning, actually. He's doing okay. He did say to me, he goes, oh...

oh, the camera crew's up here. I think they want a piece of the duck. I said, no, there's a bird flu outbreak, you imbecile. He said, oh, right, okay, fair enough. 131873, the number 2GB.com. Click onto the feedback icon if you would like to join us. We'll have the quiz for you this afternoon. In fact, we might give you the first clue in the quiz right now. $150 Lowe's digital gift card. Clue number one, I made my NRL debut for the Roosters in 2017 and have played 100

130 games. I'll turn it off. I made my NRL debut for the Roosters in 2017 and have played 130 NRL games. There'll be two more clues to come, and then you can give us a ring on 1-300-722-873. 1-300-722-873. This is for the $150 Lowe's digital gift card in the quiz. The three clues here on the continuous call team. Ben says, Gal, you are despicable. Quote, cooking's not...

my job. You didn't say that. What's the issue there? Mate,

I don't get it, though. We have a relationship. We all have things in the relationship to do. He's alluding to that you're sexist. No, that's not sexist at all. You're a pig. Tell me how that sexism... Okay, let me say this to you, right? So there'll be people listening out there that, you know, women that do lots of different things, men do lots of different things. How do you think the women of Australia are going to think? Just hang on, hang on. Listening to you go, that's not my job.

But listen. That's not my job. My wife doesn't have to work. We have a relationship where we both have jobs to do within the relationship. I go out and work all day, bring home the money. She does the things at home. That's the way it works. And you don't want to put a steak on a barbecue for five minutes. No, I don't want to. Fair enough. Break it back with more. Yeah, big thank you to all those people sending through messages on Daryl's behalf, wishing him a happy birthday. And a big happy birthday to Scotty's wife, who's 50 today.

Scotty, I don't know whether the wife will be too happy about announcing that on the radio, but we've done it for you anyway. Titans Warriors get underway at 3 o'clock. Matt Thompson will be here to call the Roosters and Bulldogs a sellout in Gosford. And later on tonight, the South Sydney Rabbitohs and the Manly Seagulls, that match at a cool stadium. We've got some break for some news. We'll come back with the next hour of the continuous call time.

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

Welcome back. Next hour, the continuous call team from the McDonald's Interactive Studio and giving the chilly conditions right across Australia, in particular the East Coast. It's probably not a bad day to be inside. Keeping warm and keeping entertained with the continuous call team as we celebrate Darrell's birthday. It's Mark Levy, Mark Riddell.

and Paul Gallen with you on this Saturday afternoon. You can join us if you like, 131873. Email us via the website. You can text us as well, 0460873873. We've got a game getting underway in the next 50 minutes. The Titans and the Warriors on the Gold Coast. Jojo Fafit is out with the flu, so Phil Sammy goes to the wing. Bo Furman to the centres. Jacob Alec-Weinke starts in the back row. Sam Verrills to hooker. Chris Randall goes to lock.

Aaron Clark to the front row and Keenan Palacia to the bench. Tanner Boyd is the 18th man for the Warriors. They line up as per the program. Bunty Afoa.

He's the 18th man. 5.30 this afternoon, the Roosters have advised that this game is a sellout. The Roosters and Bulldogs in Gosford at Industry Group Stadium. So if you haven't already got a pre-booked ticket, there's no point going because you won't be able to get in. And at 7.35 tonight, the South Sydney Rabbitohs and the Sea Eagles. And Piggy, we were on deck last night to call the Melbourne Storm and the Dolphins, and it ended up being a really entertaining game of football with Melbourne holding on to wins.

Yeah, it was a great game. I thoroughly enjoyed that game last night. Both sides going at each other for the full 80. Well, it wasn't all over, was it? Right at the end, even, you thought Melbourne Storm had wrapped it up and then there was a one-on-one steal with 30 seconds remaining and...

You thought the Dolphins might have been able to jag something, but in the end, the Melbourne Storm held on. But I thought it was a quality game. Very entertaining. How good's Jerome Hughes? Outstanding. Look, it does not happen all the time, but that's an example of what can happen when a coach shows just pure faith in you. I mean, you've got to remember, Cooper Cronk was a halfback that he left.

He said, you're going to be the... He wasn't even... He didn't go down there as a halfback. He went down there as a fullback. So he's down there as a fullback. He said, no, you're going to be the halfback. Showed an enormous amount of faith in him. He obviously got a lot of confidence out of that. Now he's one of the game's elite. If not, he's right other than the top two or three, probably. Yeah, absolutely. So Jerome Hughes, he got our Player of the Match Award for Harvey Norman.

And speaking of Melbourne, the MCG on Wednesday night hosting State of Origin 2. New South Wales still based in the Blue Mountains. Queensland on the Gold Coast. If you missed our chat with John Cartwright, the Blues assistant, we'll put that up on the website for you. As far as the crowd goes, and Queensland will join us later in the show, as far as crowds go, Andrew Abdo, the boss of the NRL, had a chat to Ben Fordham on 2GB Breakfast this week and he indicated that we should have in excess of 90,000 there on Wednesday night.

Well, we've had a terrific response and we've got a lot of people traveling and a lot of Malbornians and Victorians coming to watch rugby league, which is terrific at the MCG. We should get a crowd, hopefully close to 90,000. The ticket sales have been terrific. Great response from our fans. And, you know, watching rugby league at the MCG is quite a unique experience. And it promises to be obviously an entertaining spectacle as well. And,

Good news, too, the next night, next week's Thursday, the decider in the women's state of origin is very close to selling out. We only have a handful of tickets left, and that will be two back-to-back sellouts for the women's state of origin, which, again, is just terrific. And just an update to that, it is officially a sellout in Townsville. Darrell, we saw that in Newcastle. Big crowd, good game of footy, and we've got a decider on Thursday for the women. Well, you know what? It's a big occasion, and the football, you know, we...

Look, when I first started the women's league, I must admit, I was thinking, I don't know. I don't know about it. But it's been a massive success. There's so many... Well, I would imagine, and I might be wrong, and Gail and Piggy probably know better than me, I would imagine there's so many more young girls wanting to play rugby league now. And we saw it a couple of years ago in a State of Origin game where they were going ape on the sideline and...

screaming and yelling and whatever. I mean, the standard is so much better. You know, look, and early on it was pretty good to start with, but it's outstanding now. You know, the ball play of them, the hits, the defence, the attacking ability, just a general football now has improved so much where they know how to, you know, execute a three on two, et cetera, et cetera. Everything's so much better and it's exciting. And the under-19s on Thursday night was fantastic as well at Leichhardt Oval. Although I did see something that was a little...

And I think Andrew John's spotted it as well. Yes. The halfback for New South Wales in the 19s. Mitch Woods. Mitch Woods in the warm-up.

Doing a little squirt of water down the front of his pants. What's going on there? I think he might have got a bit of deep heat somewhere he didn't want to get. He might have had his groin rubbed. That does happen. It can happen quite easily. Stings. Once you start sweating, it sort of travels around a little bit. He might have wanted a bit of shrinkage. Possibly. Not for a game of footy. Well, I should know this. It's a lot easier to run. Have you been running lately?

No, it's been the old days. Mine hasn't changed. Still shrinking? No, it's still the same. That reminds me of a story you tell at Functions. Anyway, we can't go there. Pretty famous for three things. Yeah, we can't go there. Levy, I've got a topic for you. Yes? I've been thinking about this for a long time. Mm-hmm.

With our great sponsors, McDonald's, hash browns have become very popular. I'd never heard of a hash brown, I don't think, until McDonald's sort of started bringing them out here. Would you agree with that, Piggy? I think they had them in America years ago. Well, I wasn't around when McDonald's first started. I've heard of hash browns. I've heard of hash browns, yeah. In Australia. Only because of McDonald's.

43. How old's McDonald's in Australia? Oh, they were in the 70s, I think it was. Was it the late, early 70s? Yeah. 60s or 70s? Anyway, that's not part of what I was bringing up. Do you think that Hash Browns has ruined the future of potato jams? No. No, I don't. No. Not at all. You don't? No. So you think potato jams...

You'd think the sale of potato gems has not decreased since hash browns have come on the scene. Well, not at all. I think that'll be fine. They both exist in their own. I know they both exist, but I'm saying to you three, and obviously I'm one out here once again. I'm telling you, in my opinion, I think the sale of potato gems has decreased since hash browns have hit the scene.

So since the 70s. Yeah, 60s or 70s. 1971, the first one. 1971, there we go. Wasn't it in Sydney somewhere? Yagoona. Yagoona, yeah, that's where it was. Since 1970. So obviously they're still around. Actually, you know what? They can't around, but they're struggling. No, but you know what? Why would they sell them? Exactly. The potato gems would not be around if they were that affected by the sale of potatoes.

Those, what are they called? What are you talking about? Hash browns. It's only been 50 years. Those companies must have gone okay. They're just struggling for 50 years. I'm going to come with you on this, Daryl. I think you're right. You are such a sucker. I'm sure I'm not. You are a sucker. He's right, because why would people go and buy potato jams when they're having their little hash browns at breakfast and in their McDonald's?

But there's no point. You get them out and about. There's no point buying potato jams. So they would decrease in sales. Hold on again. Hold on. Start that again. I didn't know where I was going. I don't know where you're going either. Because that did not make sense. Don't attack my friend. I'm saying to you, would you rather have a hash brown or a potato jam? I couldn't care less. I don't not like potato jams.

Them either. Mr. Ray. I'm not fussed. That's where I was going. I'm not sitting on the fence at all. Here we go. That's where I was going. Right. There'd be more people eating hash browns these days than potato jams. But before the introduction of a hash brown, people would have been saying potato jams, throw them at me. Hash browns would have been around for years. No. How would you know this? I'll tell you.

I'll tell you when the hash brown was first invented. Oh, here we go. When somebody decided to put two potato gems next to one another on a plate, smashed them together, and they thought, you know what? We'll combine the two and make a big hash brown. I'm telling you, I'm 68 today, Piggy. And I don't often argue with you because you're usually smart, but you're stupid on this.

I'm telling you, hash browns in Australia were not around before McDonald's came on the scene. Hash browns were invented in 1895. Where in? Where in Australia? In Australia. No, I didn't say that. That's in the United States. Say how long would it have taken to come across? 100 years? Probably a month. Probably a month or two. Hash browns, I'm telling you, you imbeciles, were just...

Not available in Australia until 71, at the earliest. 1971. Daryl, keep talking. I'm busy trying to find some stats to support us. We're right. You're not right. Well, you show me stats that don't support us. Piggy just said it then. They've been around since 1895. In America. Oh, my God. They've still been around. Okay. Here we go. McCain's Foods.

1957, they were making hash browns. There we go. Humble beginnings. They were in America.

No, how do you know? McCain's food. McCain's Australian, isn't it? Yeah, McCain's. McCain's Australian. Are you a McCain showing? History, McCain's Food Limited, Incorporated, 56 and 57. And where does it say McCain's food is? History, McCain's. Yeah, McCain's where? Yes. U.S. Hashbrowns. U.S. No, it's Australia. Dot com dot au. Dot com dot au. I found it. Thank you, Levy. Hashbrowns were invented in 1895 in the United States. Yes. That doesn't support your argument. Bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop.

Just sit down and pipe down, right? I am Dr. Google over here. It's every week. It's frustrating. What's frustrating? Frustrating you get to control the levers. Now I know how you feel. Now you know how I feel. Thank you. Well, guess what? I'm the host of the show, so tough you-know-what. Now, let me go down to Australia. Aha! Darrell, this supports us. Are we right? So while they were invented in 1895, they were slow to make their way to Australia. Very slow. Given problems with distribution and the like, Australia cottoned on to hash browns,

In the late 80s. Thank you. He's reading fake email. I'm on Dr. Google. You just said that McDonald's has been around since 1971. Yeah, that's right. They never had hash browns in 1971. They started using hash browns in the late 80s. You blokes are off your heads. We're not. Yes, you are, both of you. But I was born in 1956. I'm telling you, I did not have a hash brown until about 19...

75, I reckon. Daryl, you can remember it. He just said they went around in the 1980s. No, no, Mr. Argumentative, listen to me. I was in America, you idiot. Maccas didn't start serving breakfast until 1987. Aha! Thank you. Give me some skin. We're riding. That doesn't mean anything. Daryl, I'm going to leave you on and turn these two geriblers off. See, he's saying I said 1975. That was a guess, but that was when I went to America.

I had a hash brown because in America, when you have a breakfast, you get hash browns with the bread and I've never had them before. And they were in the United States at that time, Darrell. I'm telling you, hash browns have only infiltrated Australia in the last 40 years. All right. 131873, the number. Let's let our listeners decide. No, I'm not turning you back on. Now, look, get your feet off the desk, okay? Who do you think you are? Exactly. You're Mitty Bigman over here. What did you want to say, Piggy? You know what?

You know what they say. Never argue with idiots because they'll bring you down to their level and beat you with experience. You've already passed our level of imbecility. You've hit rock bottom. All right. We'll put it to our listeners, ladies and gentlemen. Here we are. Your chance, 131873. Who's with the birthday boy? Who's with Piggy and Gal? Of course.

What's the question? I want to hear from any Australians that purchased a Has Brown in Australia before 1971. Yep. There'd be plenty of them out there. What was your statement at the start? It wasn't even that. It wasn't something about the potato gems? I said the end of the potato gem. You said the potato gem companies, there's no more potato gem companies. That's right. I didn't say that.

The demise. The demise. I'm telling you, if you went to the potato gem sellers like McCain's, they would say they're selling less potato gems now than they ever have. No. That's true. No way. How do you know that? Well, why would they sell them? Because they're still obviously buying them because they're selling them. They're still making them and selling them. They're still making them because you know why? Why? They made the moulds. It cost a fortune to make the moulds. They're not just going to throw them away. Beep.

Hash Browns, 1895. Potato Gems, 1953. That's got nothing to do with your argument. I'm just simply putting it out there. You are the biggest fence. There's no argument with you two. There is argument. I'm saying Potato Gems are on the way out. O-U-T. Out. I'm fearful for the future of Potato Gems. I think Potato Gems are used in a lot more different ways than just...

Having a hash brown at breakfast. How are they used? Well, kids might have them for lunch. They might have them for dinner as a side thing with their meat and veggies, and they have a few potato jams. Your missus packs hash browns for Harry and Will. No. Who does? Who packs hash browns for lunch? Well, I don't...

That's what I'm saying. I'm saying potato gems are used more than what hash browns are. Hash browns, everyone just has them at McDonald's or they have them at breakfast, right? Yeah, I agree. Potato gems, they might use them for the kids' breakfast. They might use them for the kids' lunch. They might use them for the kids' dinner. I agree. But you're not going to have a hash brown at dinner.

You know. Yeah, yeah. Nope. Leave me. I'm with the birthday boy. Sorry. You'll have a potato jam at dinner. Yeah, kids might have the potato jams with some veggies and some meat. Do you reckon more people eat the potato jams at dinner or when they're out? I reckon they eat it at dinner more than the hash brown they have when they're out. Hash brown's like a McDonald's type thing. Yeah.

You imbecile. So there's no way you're going to get... There's no way you go home and you make hash browns. You make them and you get them at McDonald's. Do you have them at home? Absolutely, in the freezer, yes. Yes, I do. Yeah, but you've got everything in your freezer because Darling goes shopping every day. How dare you bring Darling into this? I'm bringing your missus into it now. How could you marry this imbecile? LAUGHTER

131873, the number. The great hash brown versus potato gem debate on the continuous call time. 131873, the number, 2GB.com. Click onto the feedback icon or 4BC.com.au. Alan is at Batemans Bay. Hello, Alan. Hi, Mark. How are you? I'm very well, thank you, mate. For me, it is...

A plate of gems every day of the week. Yeah. Actually, me and Piggy said the same thing. Birds-eye need to bring back the cheese and onion...

So you're saying they've taken some potato gems off the shelf here? No, cheese and onion. Oh, that's part of it. It's like McDonald's and their deals that they put on. They're only for a limited time. Oh, speaking of McDonald's deals, is anyone with me in calling for the McSmart meal to remain for eternity? Actually, were you there the other day? I was driving to my mate's place the other day down King George's Road. Were you at the one near King's Head Tavern there? Yeah.

A couple of days ago. South Hurstville? It would have been last night on the way. Yeah, I was getting a coffee. I thought I was your car, man. You weren't getting a coffee. I've got to make smart now. Yeah, I'm not saying. I thought it was your car in the driveway. Yeah, that was mine. That was mine. So, Alan, I'm just getting back to you on it because I'm all about health. Would you think that potato gems would be more fattening than hash browns?

No, they're less fat than you. No, I think they would be. I think they would. You're five days older than me, and usually I'm with you, but I'm not with you on this one. Great work, Alan. Alan, everyone's entirely their opinion, so one of us is right and one of us is wrong. I'm sorry that you're wrong. That's an opinion. In other words, Alan, thank you for calling. I'm with you now. I like the potato jams better than the hash browns.

No, I don't. Dan, no? No. Abby, you piggy. I like the potato jams. I like the potato jams. I mean, Levy, what would you do? No, I'm a hash brown man. You're a hash brown man. Yeah. I feel like a hash brown's more of a dessert thing, though. Like, potato jams you can have with dessert. Oh, no, no, I'm not with you here. No, look, I'll

After dinner. After dinner? What are you talking about? Yeah, we have more of a breakfast thing. Breakfast. You have them after dinner, a hash brown as a dessert. To be honest, I never have them. But with my dinner, I would have the potato gems as part of my meal. But you wouldn't put a hash brown? No, no, definitely wouldn't, no. I'd have it for breakfast, probably. I'll have some boysenberry ice cream and a hash brown, thanks.

I don't think that's it out of the realm. Mate, it's a potato. Yeah, with ice creams. Nice. What? Do you have chips with ice cream? Yeah, you do. Yeah, have you never done that? Don't tell me you've never done that. People do do that a lot. They dip the hot chips in the French fries into the sundaes. No, never. That's a lie. You've never done that. You know why? Because I don't buy the sundae at the same time I buy the chips.

because you're worried about it melting. Okay, so when you go through drive-thru, you buy your food and then you go back through drive-thru again. No, you didn't say drive-thru. I'm talking about eating there. Do you ever get out there? So when you eat there, you go and buy your food, you eat it, and then you go back again to the counter. Yeah. Do you really? If I'm getting a sundae, yes. You are too lazy to do that. I disagree with you. I don't reckon you do. You disagree with me? I reckon you're too lazy. I don't think it's up to you to disagree with me because you don't know you wimpers. I reckon you're too lazy to do it. That's why.

Piggy, do you now see what I have to say? Now I understand. Anyway, it's a good topic, 13107. Mike's next at Campsy. Hello, Mike. Yeah, g'day, fellas. A lot of dribbling going on there. Thank you. If you want a decent feed, you go to your local fish and chip shop and get a potato scallop covered in salt and then have a decent feed.

Mate, I do like potato scallops. I am partial to a potato scallop. A bit of tomato sauce. Especially when they're crispy outside. Crispy. Yeah, very nice. And a lot of potato in the middle. Sometimes it's just... It's too thin, isn't it? Yeah, it's too thin. Tell me this, though. Potato scallops. Like, you can get the big ones. Is that just a big potato or do they squash up all the potato and turn it into a scallop? No, I don't think they squish it up. I think it's just cut and then... Jeez.

Jeez, there must be big potatoes then. Well, there's a lot of big potatoes. I was the other way. I thought it was processed. I reckon they're mashed potatoes. That's hash browns. Hash browns are squished. So you're trying to say a potato's that round?

Some are. There's big potatoes. I've got big potatoes. I'm with Levi. I'm with Levi. I think it's mashed potato. I was just asking the question. I don't know. I reckon the first way you put it is the way they do it. Because where you get your lunch from, my mates at Fat Fish up here, they're the best potato scallops in the world. Yeah, very nice. And I know they make them themselves. They make a very good fish burger too. But it must be a very big...

Yeah, I don't think it is. I think it would be a processed sort of potato that's in the shape and then it's then battered. I don't know about that. Because I don't think they're going to buy that big a potato.

And do that to a scholar. Just cut one. But, mate, if the potato is a circle or a sphere, they're only going to get a certain amount out of that big size because then all the others, as they work their way across the potato, they're going to be smaller and smaller and smaller. I'll tell you why you're wrong. Why am I wrong? Because they ring the potato farmers and they say, right, leave them in there a bit longer. I want a bigger potato. Yeah.

I'm telling you. You're absolutely full of it. Right on to the owners of fish and chip shops across Australia. Mate, how would they know? They make them. They don't make them. They buy them. Of course they make them, you fool. They buy them in boxes. They put them in the hot oil. Mate, listen. Boom. Ship them out. I know you're flying in life, but I'm

looking after the business owners of Australia. Okay, I'm about to become one. So you reckon someone goes into Fat Fish and they're the potato scallop maker? Yes. Give me a break. And you're going into the hospitality industry in your own business. This is where you're wrong. I'm going to be proven right. Here we go. I'm going to try and help you, Blake. 131873, the number to the fish and chip shop owners of Australia. You know how we're living in a really interesting time of the world. I can do just about anything.

You now know that they're making potatoes that are the same width all the way along. It's not like a football where they go small at one end, so they're big the whole way along. That's the big long. That's the big long. There's potatoes like that. Potato longs. Potato longs. They're all the same size. Like a block of cheese. Exactly. Exactly.

Exactly. They're not round anymore. They're like oval, but they're big oval. Like getting a dog food, you know, a knob of dog food or a knob of what's that other stuff you eat? Like a tin of pow. We need it in a knob thing, the one where you cut it up and put it in the fridge. So are you against me on this?

What did you say? So I'm suggesting that the big potatoes make the big scallops. I'm with you. So thank you. I'm saying they're making bigger potatoes. I'm with the birthday boy. You're just making things up. So hang on. I just want you to stand by your comment. I want you to stand by your comment because you're about to be proven wrong. I think that all the fish and chip shops would not make their own potatoes. This is where you let yourself down, Piggy. And now that I'm a hospitality worker and owner. They're wasting their time. I'm right. You're wrong. They're wasting their time. No, they're not because it's about

quality of the product. So, Libby, you're telling us that you're going to go into work, cut potatoes up and make them as... No, I employ chefs for that, you fool. I guarantee you, they're not going to do it either. They're not going to do it either. You'll buy the product. Excuse me, they'll do whatever I tell them to do. Probably they will, but you'll buy the product already made. You'll wait two hours to get a meal at his joint. Exactly right. So, he'll be out the back doing the scallops. Oh, here we go. Have you got parking?

I'll be going there. I'm parking at the back. Where are we parking? You're my friend. 131873, the number, 2GB.com. Click onto the feedback icon. We need an answer on potato scallops. Do you use big potatoes or do you use the little potatoes and mash them all up? How the hell do we get onto this? We are the continuous call team.

John and Manuel at Fatfish have been making their own potato scallops for years. It's their mother's recipe. They used to do it in the fish shop at Bellrose. They had years ago. Thank you, Craig. There's one here that caught my attention. How's piggies form? From Dave. Potatoes are circles. Does he think they're grown inside tennis balls? Give me a drink, please. 131873, the number. Peter's in Toowoomba. Hello, Pete.

G'day, how you going, champion? Good, thank you, mate. Yeah, I used to have a fish and chip shop down at Werri Beach, New South Wales, years ago. Which one? I can tell you they are real. The one on the beach? Right on the beach, yeah. Yeah, I know which one. And what did you say, mate?

They are real potatoes. Yep. Our local farmer at the supermarkets didn't want the big ones because they're too big to sell. And we used to get the big ones and slice them at five mil. Yeah. Perfect. We used to cut them in corn flour and then batter them and cook them in hot oil. And away you go. So they're the real potato. What did you do with all the excess? No, he's gone, Pete. Thanks, Pete. Appreciate the call, mate. I took it home. What a waste. What a waste. Owen's in Brisbane. Hello, Owen.

Yeah, g'day, buddy. How you going? Good, thank you, mate. Happy birthday. Thanks, mate. Mate, I've been picking up the spuds and taking them to Small Goods Australia for a while, and they want a particular size, but there are huge spuds that the pickers pick, take to the pub, get the cook to cut them up,

and sit and watch the footy. So there you are, the big potatoes. The big potatoes for the big scops. You're wrong. I can't. I'm with you, Pig. I'm with you, Pig. I can't see. Now, hang on. How can you be with Piggy when you've just heard two people ring up

from people that have worked in the industry saying the potato scallops are cut from real potatoes, just sliced. We never said that. They are cut from real potatoes. We know that they're cut from real potatoes. We're not saying that. You said, how would that work? Because you're going to lose all the potatoes. Well, you do lose a lot of them. You would lose them. You would have different sizes. Big man agreed with it. How can you say that that's right? Andrew, ring Matt Thompson. Get him in early on going home. Can we play? What?

No, but I'm just saying. Read Nataris and ask him. Text Nataris and ask him what they do. Why are you telling me to do that? Would you want me to do it? Yeah, you do. All right.

He's got good chips, eh? Thank you for your call, Owen. 131873, the number. Time to check in with the Melbourne Storm off the back of their 30-24 win over the Dolphins last night. Jerome Hughes was named our player of the match. Pretty good game of footy in the end, really entertaining. And we're joined this afternoon by their Melbourne Storm forward, Christian Welch. He's on the line. G'day, Christian.

G'day, guys. Thanks for having us on. And it's potato cakes. I don't know what you're talking about. Oh, come on. Queensland. Queensland. How dare you? They're scallops.

Nah, mate, a potato cake. I could end this interview right now. It's disgraceful. Anyway, moving on. Is there drama between two Queenslanders here, big man? Well, Christian is Queensland champion. The old pick and stick. We'll probably go close on Wednesday, but I don't think we can win. What do you reckon? What, Origin? Yeah.

The trails back City dominates the arena I'm really worried us Queensland team You know Yeah we can't But a few out No Cameron Muster I think we'll really struggle You don't have Muster The first game either

That's right, we smashed it. Christian, out of interest, you know, throughout your illustrious playing career and you've done some wonderful stuff on the football field, did you ever fall victim as a Queensland Origin player to the mystery virus or the mystery injury leading into an Origin game? What's that?

Well said, Christian. Don't fall for these gibberers. Why have we got Christian on? Any glass house? Did you like the little glass house jibe this week from Michael McGuire? I thought it was very, very good.

Yeah, it wasn't bad. It's good to see a bit of combat in the press. I probably haven't seen too much of it since Scallons retired. So it's good to see a bit of spice. Well, that cost them too much for that. They're not really allowed to pay. Maybe South Wales Rugby League. Good point. You've got to sell some tickets. Fire them up. Actually, Gal. Yeah. Has Andrew Abdel or Peter Volanti been on the phone? They've got to sell another $5,000 or $10,000. Why don't you drop a bomb this afternoon and see how you go? I did have a discussion with someone before round one, but I did say it's not my job anymore. So.

What, you wouldn't do it for 10 Gs? No, I wouldn't actually. Look, I've got money. I'm okay. You wouldn't do it for 10 Gs, but you'll go and do something for two grand during the week. Because listen, it's not my go anymore. I'm not out there playing. I don't have to put up with the result if Queensland get angry or blah, blah, blah. You've gone soft. It's not me anymore. I don't need to do it. He's no longer a puppet for money. Can we get...

Can we get back to our player here? Poor old Christian. No, no, no, listen, listen. Poor old Christian's on the line here. Listen, I host the show, and I'm not going to be dictated to by some blow-in who's here on a Saturday. It's you, okay? Do you reckon he wants to just sit on the phone listening to us? Christian's enjoying his Saturday afternoon listening to us. We're punishing him. He's just given us a call, 131873. Thanks for your call. Can I ask him a question? No, no, just shush for a minute. Now, listen, unlike you on the sideline who waits four hours to go and get an interview...

He's been patient and waiting for our questions. Thank you, Christian. He's about to hang up. All right, well, what do you want to ask him? I want to ask him about last night's game. Oh, boring. How good was it? Boring. This is entertainment, Piggy. Potatoes. You want to talk about Melbourne Storm. You just trot out the usual. Oh, yeah, we play for the boys. Go, you ask him. No, you ask him. No, you ask him. No, you ask him. I'll ask him. You're the host. Christian, in the first half last night, the Dolphins were tearing him out. They were giving it to you. But you managed to score a couple of pretty good long-range tries. That was...

Pretty handy getting themselves out of trouble. They're going in a half time and 8-0.

Yeah, it was a weird, strange, like we actually didn't have one tackle inside their 20 metre, which is really strange because I think we, I think it was about 18 all, wasn't it? Yeah. So we had some kind of good long range tries and we had some guys who, you know, we didn't have Xavier Coates and a few blokes like Raymond Smith throughout. We had some really great impact, Grant Anderson, Jack Cowliffe had a really good game. Obviously, everyone's talked up his potential, but it was great to see him actually get out there and,

place well and then being able to inject sewer there's some really exciting

I suppose backs, it's always a good sign for a big front rower when we can score some of those long-range tries. So happy days. Did that give you the confidence, Christian, going into the break? 18 all and with what you were saying and your completion rate was pretty ordinary. I think it was about 60-something percent compared to the Dolphins where you've really got to go out and beat them because they complete really high. They kick to the corners. And when you turned it around in that second half, they really struggled to go with you.

Yeah, the Dolphins, they're a really, really good side. I think they play a really high percentage, complete well. And that Katoa, he's years ahead of where he is considering how old he is. He's a phenomenal player. I think it won't be too long until we see him probably in the Origin Arena. He's a really nice player. Great kicking game. And I

They've got some really good players there. And obviously probably set them back a bit with Bostock going. I think they had four ruckies on the bench, which is always a bit of a risk. So I think they had to juggle that a bit. But, yeah, they're a really, really well-coached side and they compete really hard. Mate, you mentioned Sua Faiolongo before. Tell us a bit about him because he just looks as though he could be, well, one of the excitement machines of the whole competition. Yeah.

Yeah, he's an amazing story. Born in Samoa and come over and he's got a big family. So, yeah, I'm so pumped for him. We don't develop too many Victorians, but we're counting him as one. I think he's our fifth or sixth one in 26 years. So he's been really awesome. So it's just about, I suppose, finding how it works with paps because they're pretty similar, I suppose, size and height. I'm not...

I'm not sure what it's going to look like. Obviously, that's up to Belgium, the coaches. I think, obviously, it's a very traditional, conservative, I suppose, coach and weather.

what his appetite is, I suppose, to get creative with lineups, you know, having Papamau as a man, Sewell on the field at the same time. So it seemed to work all right last night. So it's a good problem to have. Before you go, Christian, you're 29. You've played 155 games for the Melbourne Storm. You debuted back in 2015, six games for Queensland. What does the future hold for you, mate? How many more years are you contracted with and are you still enjoying your footy?

Yeah, I'm loving my footy. Yeah, I really love this club. Probably seeing my role probably go a little bit backwards this year, you know, come off the bench and not getting as many minutes. But I just really love this club and I just want to see us doing well. And we seem to be going all right at the moment. So, yeah, I'm just trying to make an impact in the minutes I'm on the field and really, I suppose, help the younger guys coming through. Yeah, because I don't really have any interest in –

I suppose, moving clubs or anything. So I've probably got a couple of years left in the purple and, yeah, really excited. I really do love this place and the opportunity they've given me. So it's all about...

So I was just doing what I can to add value to the club on and off the field. Good on you, mate. Well, you're a great talker and hopefully this wasn't considered to be one of the hardest interviews you've ever been done because obviously you talk about potatoes and everything else. But you just keep doing your role for Melbourne, mate. It's great to see you continuing on winning ways on top of the ladder, maintaining that ladder-leading position and may that continue for the remainder of the year. Thanks for joining us, mate, and you enjoy your weekend.

Thanks, guys. Thanks for having us on. Queensland 13+. Good on you, buddy. Christian Welch. You know what? That's the mock. That's the mock right there. You guys never talk like that. That's all we needed. That's all we needed, pig. Can we just clip that up and send it to Match? Yeah, that's all we needed. I have an absolutely outrageous statement that's been made to me too via text by one Damien Nataras who owns Nataras Seafood. Pig. Yeah, I know.

God. What? He makes his own. He's on side with us. We buy large washed potatoes. Thank you. We cut them ourselves. Thank you. And we make them here at the shop. They're the best chips ever. I can't believe it. Thank you. I can't believe it. Seeing you've just texted Omo, could you just ask him if he will honour the birthday present he gave me about 10 years ago? What did he give you? Free chips forever. I haven't been in there for a while. Just check if he'll honour that for me, please. Free chippies?

Mate, he's got the best chips. I can't believe it. Well, there you go. I honestly can't believe it. Damo's an honest man. No, I know, but I can't believe that people have the time to buy fresh potatoes and cut them. You know what, Big Man? Like I've said to you sometimes, it takes a big man to admit when he's wrong. When are these two going to say, you know what, Levy, Big Man? You guys were right. I just did. I just did.

When did you say that? Well, the way I just read that out. Well, just apologise. We'll give you a chance. I apologise. It takes a big man to admit when he's wrong, which I can always do when I am. Thank you. And at this stage, I was wrong. And actually, I still can't believe it. I can't believe people... So do you think you're wrong or not? Are you wrong or not? I'm wrong. I'm wrong, but I can't... Okay, just stop. You're wrong. Just stop it at that. Thank you. Piggy? Cut that up.

Shut up. No. I'm wrong. I'm not prepared to. I still believe that there would be fish and chip shops out there that buy pre-packaged potato scallops that are already done, that are already frozen. Oh, I'm sure. Some. Yeah, that's right. But not the good ones you're saying. I'm just saying. You're now doing what he does and shifting the goalposts. Yeah, you are. All I'm saying. Beep, beep, beep. No, no, no, no, no. All I'm saying that I don't think

that all the fish and chip shops would be making their own potato scones. From the latest tech to quality furniture, you'll get amazing savings during the Harvey Norman clearance in-store and online this weekend. Upsize your TV and get set to watch the big games with big clearance deals.

It's my birthday too. I like hash browns. Happy birthday, Kylie. Happy birthday, Kylie. And we're happy that you love hash browns. It's funny. I develop a craving while we're working on this show, whether we're talking about Maccas or I've now got a craving for potato scallops.

So I'm thinking about ordering some and getting them delivered from our mates on the road. Well, if you can do that, get a few extras. Well, I'll order some for you, Darrell, because they're very, very nice. Look, you know how I just said, boys, that it takes a big man to admit when he's wrong? I feel the need, Piggy and Darrell, to apologise to the former New South Wales captain, Paul Gallen. OK, thank you. Because last night on the coverage, we were sitting in here in the McDonald's interactive studio highlighting...

that it looked like Paul had put a rinse through his hair. You did. And I encouraged our listeners to turn their televisions on, to watch Channel 9, listen to us, of course, and just to make their own assessment of his hair. And we were overwhelmed with correspondents saying he's dead set, put a black rinse through his hair. Yeah.

But he's come in today and I can see the grace. So, Gal, I'm going to apologise to you. Maybe it was the cameras or the make or something. No, I put another wrench for it last night to make it go backwards. Seriously. I told you last night I hadn't done it. Okay, fair enough. Yeah, but I didn't believe it. Do you think you're vain? No, I don't. I mean, I take cameras off, but I'm not vain. That's a good answer. You're so vain. You're so vain.

Remember that? Was it Carly Simon singing that? I think it was. John. You remember Carly Simon? No, he's not in the homelines. I did laugh when I come in this morning and leave. First thing he goes, oh, yeah, it's not that dark after all. I told you. You know, that song was... I'm trying to think who it was about. It was about an actor from many, many years ago. She must have had a fling with him, I reckon. She got upset at him, you reckon? Well, I think so. He was... I can't remember his name. It was about an actor who...

Used to be up himself a bit, just like you, G-Train. Aha, here we go. What have we got? The song is a critical profile of a self-absorbed lover whom Simon asserts you're also... Is it Warren Beatty? Yeah, that's who I thought... Warren Beatty? That's who I... There you are. That's what I heard about it years and years ago. Warren Beatty, I don't even know if Warren Beatty's still around. He was...

It's very good looking. She released that song in 1972, Carly Simon. You're so vain. Dedicated to our man, the Paul Gallen, the G-Train, the G-String here on the Continuous Call team. All right, gents. Off the topic of potato scallops, I've just ordered what...

15 scallops. No. Is that enough? Can you get some potato gems? No, they don't have potato gems. But I bought ordered some. They'll be here at 3.25. Perfect timing, just after we have your cake. You're a good man, Lee. Well, I do that for the show and for you blokes because you're good fellas.

131873, the number. Piggy Heathcote Fish and Chip Shop on the highway has been voted the best potato scallop makers in New South Wales. Give them a crack next time you pass through. That's from Cameron at Heathcote. Up the sharks. That's the one that's got... I think it's got a shark on the roof, doesn't it? Or a marlin on the roof, isn't it? Is that on the left going to Wollongong? No, it's on the right. It's on the left coming home. Pretty much straight across the road from the train station. Oh!

Oh, I had to go to Wollongong, was it last week? I finally saw a deer on the freeway. Did you really? Because they've got these signs, you know, be careful of the deer. And I've never seen one in all these years. I finally saw one. And I've been telling you for years that they're there. I finally saw one. But they don't run across the road, do they? Yeah, they're everywhere, mate. Do they? It's a real issue down at Wollongong. Right. The wild deer roaming the streets of Wollongong. That reminds me of one of Piggy's great lines. Do you want to tell Gow that one? A long time ago. Tell Gow. I can't even remember it. What was it again? What's the cheapest cut of meat?

Deez balls because they're under a buck. That's a good one.

I think you told that when we were... I told that at Wynn Stadium. Bozo. With Bozo. He was on the ground rolling around in stitches. The great Bozo couldn't stop laughing. Under a buck. Well done. 131873, the number. Question number two, or clue number two in the Saturday quiz. I've represented England in the international arena. And look, I'll give you a little tip.

We'd love to have him out there for New South Wales, but he's decided to play for England. I've represented England in the international arena, and he made his NRL debut for the Roosters in 2017, where he's played 130 NRL games. One more question to come. Once you hear it, you can give us a buzz on 1300 722 873. First caller through with the correct answer wins the $150 Lowe's digital gift card. Thanks to Lowe's, they've got over 200 stores nationwide.

Well, Daryl, there's a few people that have been in touch just off the back of us playing your survey by Carly Simon, and we mentioned Warren Beatty. I'm actually reading a story here. Carly Simon has stated that ex-husband James Taylor and Rolling Stone Mick Jagger are definitely not

the men she had in mind when she put pen to paper many years ago she recently admitted the second verse was about actor warren baity but only the second verse so there you are we're up to date in uh in terms of that particular song thank you to all those people getting in touch as well out they come for kickoff gold coast and warriors we'll update the scores on that match as we take you around the grounds for uber reserve it's about to get underway score updates coming up after the news

Welcome back. Next hour of the continuous call team. Trust you're enjoying your Saturday afternoon with us. We're having a bit of fun in here. Playing away on the Gold Coast where it's nil all between the Titans and the Warriors. Eight minutes gone in the first half. Nil all the score. Gold Coast and Warriors. Later this afternoon, Industry Group Stadium in Gosford is a sellout. So unless you have a prepaid ticket...

There's no point turning up because you won't be able to get in. That's what the Roosters are asking us to tell you. Roosters and Bulldogs at 5.30. Matt Thompson will be along to call that game with Darrell and with Paul. And then at 7.35 tonight, Chris Warren, Josh Morris, Jamie Sowd will be on deck for a live call of the Rabbitohs and the Seagulls, which should also be a good game. The Seagulls, Darrell,

I read somewhere this week that they've only got half their salary cap available to them and no origin players. Yeah, they're going to do it tough, aren't they? It's just the way it is, mate. I mean, you know, sometimes...

How many have they got in origin? They've got Cherry Evans. What else have they got? Jake Trevoivich. Jake Trevoivich. Ola Kowatu. Two captains. No, he's not there. Ola Kowatu? Oh, yes. He's on the bench. So, you know, plus they've had the injuries. They've had a tough time of it. They're battling away whether they can...

battle away well enough to get into the semis or not, who knows? But, you know, they're at full pace, at full strength. They're a decent side. Last week was a decent win. At their best. Last week was a good win for them. Yeah. The way they showed a lot of grit and determination. Absolutely. They're down to 13 men for 10 minutes. They ended up the game with 14. That was a fair win last week. That could be a little bit of a season-defining one. I think this year's competition is really difficult to predict. I think, I really do. It's...

You know, the really, really good sides, and we're talking about Penrith and, you know, Brisbane, probably last year's grand finalists, we were talking about them. But, you know, then you've got Melbourne, of course, and then you've got, like, Fringe.

Eight teams, Cronulla, you know, and others around that point. I think it's a really open competition. I really do. The other bloke who's out for Manly, Reuben Garrick, he's out injured at the moment. And, of course, for South, no Cam Murray, no Latrell Mitchell there on origin duty. Just away from those clubs, of course, last night in the footy that we called for you, Melbourne beat the Dolphins 30 points to 24. A bit of news around the Dragons this weekend, Piggy, and I know they've got the bye.

Ben Hornby spoke about Damien Cook's decision to sign with the St. George Illawarra Dragons. Of course, Ben is the interim coach of the South Sydney Rabbitohs. This is what he had to say during the week. That's the tough part of rugby league at the moment. The reality is the salary cap is what it is. So you've got to try and fit the pieces in as best you can.

For Cookie, yeah, he's obviously not what he wanted, but he's made the decision now. He's happy with it, and we're looking forward to the club, and he's looking forward to the same. This year is the most important thing for us at the moment, so this week and going onwards. Yeah, I've spoken to Cookie. We had a chat earlier in the week, and he informed me of what was going down. Yeah, I mean, Cookie's been great.

So there's no reason why we won't continue to be great at the end of this year and forward. He's one of our men. He was on the panel here a few weeks ago. A terrific fella. Great player. Experienced hooker, Piggy. And obviously he goes to the Dragons. Huge coup for the club. Yeah, I think that's great. I think it's a great signing for the Dragons. Very excited for it. Obviously he gets that two years at the Dragons. He had one more season with the South Sydney Rabbitohs. He was at the Dragons many, many years ago. So...

Returns there, have him at nine and Benny Hunt at seven. Very experienced, two very experienced players. So it's exciting for the Dragons. Off the back of that as well, and I said this to you off air, like,

The Dragons need to attract some players. I think they've got a fair bit of money in the salary cap. And to have someone, you know, they've already got Ben Hunt there. He draws players. But to have Damien Cook there, hopefully off the back of that, you know, they might be able to attract a few more, the ones that they want. You can't have too many, A, good players, but also good blokes as well. You know, he's just a great clubman, isn't he? I mean, we had him in here, what, once I think he came in and did a show. He's...

he was fantastic. So I think, you know, given the fact that he's, he's a really, really quality player, but he's a quality bloke as well. So he's pretty keen to come back in. He, he enjoyed himself with the continuous call team. So he got J-Moz the other night. We'll get him back in for sure. Not that I'm one to highlight things that happen. I don't know whether you heard this gal. Let me hear it. Uh,

Josh Morris down on the touchline interviewing Damien Cook. Yeah, I got a little cookie here, mate. What about that? Scrappy conditions, but that first half he must have been impressed with. Are you sweet? You good? Got your question right?

Drop the mic. To be fair, it's not the best get. Jameels is an easy target. Why do you say that? Well, he's flat out talking, Jameels.

You'll see it best. You'll get a text soon. When you see nothing at all. You boys will get a text. He's in the movies. Oh, is he? I spoke to him on the way here. He's in the movies. He's not the only person to make mistakes. Yeah, the actual surface has got, you know, grass right across it, as you would expect at this stadium. But it is wet. There's a lot of grass that's wet. That's a beauty. He's a first grade coach now, that bloke. Is he? I'll throw myself in there as well. I want everybody's head. I'm on top.

Slide on to Bird and Bird's over. He scores a try. Bird. That's gold. I'm sure we've got clips of all of us in this. Yeah, 100%. There'll be a few more there. Not that I'm one to highlight what people do wrong. Have you ever heard, obviously Piggy's our main sideline, I these days, Gal, but he had a propensity to overuse the word proud and

off the back of big games. So whether it be an Origin or a Grand Final, he just had this habit of constantly asking whether players were proud, didn't you, Pete? I might have got Gal. You might have. I don't know if I, because that's how long ago. It was back when Gal was still playing. Have a listen to this, Gal. We put this together on behalf of Mark Piggy-Riddell to highlight how proud he is of all the proud players in rugby league. Oh.

Jimmy, you must be proud of your boys. How proud is it now that you've come over here in your first year with the club and you've been able to get them into a grand final? You must be proud of your boys. You must be proud of how you've sort of fought your way back. You must be proud of your boys. You must be proud of not only the performance of yourself, but the team tonight.

Jimmy Mullaney, Luke Lewis, Andrew Fafita, Wade Graham. Must be proud of your boys. How proud is it now that you've come over here in your first year with the club and you've been able to get them into a grand final? You must be proud of your boys. What have you done for me?

It's a good one. I think you might have got me this year or last year without a doubt. Without a doubt. Everyone's got their little idiocy. 100% might be another one for me. You know another thing you say? What? I've got to say. That might have been the one I've got to say, yeah. Maybe that'll be that. Yeah, yeah.

I've got to say, the Roosters in attack have been a little bit disappointed. Yeah, they've had a few good calls go away, boys. I've got to say. I've got to say, Wiggers these days have to score them tries. I've got to say, the ground needs to be wet and slippery. Quick one on the sideline, Paul Gallant. I've got to say, boys, the Roosters are definitely targeting the right edge. The Foxy love scoring tries. I've got to say, that long ball was never on. Save you, save me. Save you for always.

Very smart. I've got to say, when he ran to the sideline, that's a good try because I've got to say, the Bulldogs' attack hasn't been great. I've got to say that the Sharks definitely look more lively. I've got to say, Parramatta, they had nothing. They had absolutely nothing in attack. I've got to say, their halves were unseen. I've got to say, I like the Roosters when they did the last set. Please don't tell me he's in good form. No, he's not, my love.

I'm going to say last week was probably the worst. Anyway, you get the idea. That's all from one game. Unbelievable. It is not. Anyway. You probably got one of me there, but I now understand there's one of you floating about too.

Yeah. Is it possible we could hear the word champion in this particular? We are the champions, my friends. You've got to tell a champion, you lunatic. How are you, champion? My blood pressure went up to 195. You with me, champion? I can't believe I'm not killing you. Don't go off early, champion. You haven't tipped a winner yet. We are the champions.

Give me a job, I need a gig champion. Well done, champion. We would have got him over the line for you, champion. It's you.

Oh, very good. Carve up. What about that? He pushes that down. Push it back up here. Yeah, look at him. Get rid of it. Do you know a lot of blokes find champion or champ like a little bit derogatory? I know. It's funny you say that. I went to a restaurant once and there was a young bloke serving a big table. And I said, oh, thanks very much, champion. I really appreciate it. Excuse me?

I said, I'm just saying thanks, champion. He goes, I don't appreciate that. I said, man, I'm being nice to you. I don't find it drug-a-triad. They say being champ is. Because champ's like a little kid. Well, we've got good on you, champ. Champ like that. But if you say you want that, I'll. Some people just need to get on with their lives and enjoy it. 100%. I'm with you. That's right. I think if you say champ, it's something to be nice. I think it's a lovely thing to say to someone. Good work, champion. Good work, champion. Good work, champion.

Boys, on to another issue. There's a story. By the way, nil all the score. Gold Coast Warriors for Uber Reserve. That's after 15 minutes of play. Gold Coast Brewers have launched an extraordinary bid to have a classic drinking game become an official sport at the 2032 Brisbane Olympics.

The team behind the city's annual crafted beer festival have launched a petition to see Beer Pong claim a place on the elite international sporting stage with Gold Coast beer makers and lovers getting on board. Piggy, this caught your attention during the week. Yes, it did. Well, I think it's an opportunity.

For the average Joe to have a crack at an Olympic medal. For the very unathletic. Could you imagine, though, the big heaps going, I'm up for a gold medal. What are you here for? Beer pong. You know what? But you can't just take any old...

big heap. You've got to get someone who's good at it. You've got to have prelims to make the team. But you'd imagine they're going to be a big heap. You'd imagine they're going to be an alcoholic. They've got to be able to have a drink too. 100%. They've got to handle it. So beer pong, just take me through it. Is that where you throw the

Ball into the cup on the table. So, Pete, do you throw with your hand or do you hit it with the back? No, no, with your hand. And you drink while you're doing it? No, well, what happens is when I, just say me, I was playing you, Big Mark, and we've both got our own cups at each end, and they're full of whatever drinks in there, usually, obviously, beer. And if I throw it over to you and I land it in one of your cups, you've got to then take the ball out and you've got to drink that cup.

And then you've got a triangle. It starts as a triangle. Then if you hit the middle one, you take the middle one out and skull it. That's right. And then what, there's a hole there. There's a hole there. Yeah, and then you obviously move them together as you go. Or some people play where you don't move them together.

So you think about it, if someone kept getting yours, your skull and beers, so you're going to end up a little bit loose. The ability to throw a bus is going to obviously be affected. I'm just thinking, you know, you've got all these fit athletes at the Olympic Games and you can just imagine it, you know, opening ceremony. Here they come. Here they come now.

The Australian team, here they come wearing their green and gold, about to enter the main stadium. And their flag bearer this afternoon, Mark Piggy-Riddell. And behind them, the Australian team, the beer pong team for the Brisbane 2032 Olympic Games. Here they come, the big heaps, wearing their green and gold. Ladies and gentlemen, have a look at these specimens.

That's great. I think if you're good at something, though, you could be in the Olympics. Like, you don't have to be a fitness fanatic to be good at that, do you? To be good at that? No, that's what we're saying. The average Joe can get an Olympic medal. I'm just thinking...

Having covered a couple of Olympics, I've been into the Athletes' Village. And, you know, there's more fat on it. Oh, could you imagine? All these people sitting around. The Australian beer pong team. Singlets, beer guts. But over the years, there's been some dodgy sports in certain Olympic Games, as they're not. Was there golf? Golf's in this year, yeah. Golf, like golf. Come on. Breakdancing? Breakdancing, you said, yeah. But can you know when you go away, right? The athletes, do they have their own room or do they...

bunk with someone else? Most of them bunk together, yeah. Oh, do they? So would that be possible? What if you had one of the really, you know, finely tuned athletes? I'm trying to think. I don't reckon you. Like a swimmer? Kyle Chalmers. Yep. Say you have Kyle Chalmers in with a beer ping pong champion. I don't reckon that's you. You say, how you going over there? You want a can champion? They say, what are you doing? He said, I'm warming up. You want a drink? He said, I want a bit of smoke. You right? Yeah.

Even the age limit. The age is a lot of the athletes are probably, you know, early 20s and someone playing beer pong could be 40, 50. Kyle Chalmers sitting there eating his sushi, knocks on the door, Macca's delivery! Oh, man, I might have had a big game yesterday. LAUGHTER

It takes him the whole two weeks to get to the finals of the beer pong. All right, well, you know what? That might be last two. Two weeks of drinking. I think you've come up with an idea here, Piggy. Let's take some entries on 131873. We need our listeners. How many on a beer pong team? Four? I'm not sure of the logistics of it all. Is there multiple players?

I think you can. I think you can. I think you can play it all different ways. I think we submit a team. It's got to be a team. Could you have distance ones? Like standing like 10 metres away from the cup, like blokes with big strong arms. But you're throwing ping pong balls. It's on a ping pong table. It's a standard size table. Well, gentlemen, we've got a heap of prizes to give away this afternoon, including our show bags for complete blinds. We've got the signed jerseys for Create Merchandise.

And everybody who calls through and gets to air could win a $200 meat tray voucher. So 131873, the number. We'd like you, please, to ring through and pitch yourself as a potential competitor for the continuous call team beer pong team entering into the Olympic Games qualification for 2032. How old will I be?

Well, how old are you now? 43, so I'll be 51 or something. You're going to be team captain. I can handle that. I'll be seasoned. How do you reckon you train for it besides the drinking? That's it. You just drink. You've got to be able to throw the ping pong and aim. You've got to have a good aim. So you know what? It's going to be like darts. All right. 131873, the number. If you'd like to be a part of the continuous call team beer pong team, call through, put through your resume in terms of just telling us, you know...

Whether or not you're a good drinker or you've got great hand-eye coordination, what you bring to the team. 131873, the number. And if you know the rules or understand the rules of beer pong, we'd love to hear from you as well because we have no idea on how many's on a team and et cetera, et cetera. So 131873, the number as the Titans go in again. They lead 10 points to nil with a kick.

to come over the Warriors. Gold Coast 10, Warriors nil. 19 minutes left in the first half. We'll take a break. Other side of this, we're putting together the continuous call team, beer pong team. Back around the grounds, we do it for Uber Reserve 12 nil, Gold Coast leading Warriors. 17 minutes left in the first half. 12 nil to score, Gold Coast leading Warriors. And yes, we are putting together a continuous call team, beer pong team. And before people ring up and go, oh, this is not...

Listen, it's a bit of fun. The whole show's a jip. We're having a laugh. We're having a laugh. It's just a little bit of light-hearted banter. I think this is a very important one, though, from David Avalon. Olympic beer pong must allow sledging. Oh, yes. 100%. I think the players should be mic'd up. They're mic'd up. This could be a ratings bonanza. All right, well, what would you say to put off your opponents?

Mate, there's so much I could say. Have a look at your balls. What about your balls?

I think you'd do better than that. I could, but I don't know. I'll be a whole lot better than that. There'd be all sorts of things going on. You just have to have people that aren't too precious involved. Do you reckon there's any sledging in, like, fair dinkum Olympic sports, like, say, swimming? Like, you're going up for the final and you're up against your American in lane four, Americans in lane five or something. That'd be interesting, in the marshalling area. Maybe not sledging as far as words go, but there'd be some looks. I can't win.

Mind games. Mind games, I reckon. We can up with him. You know when Simon Fairweather won the gold medal in Sydney 2000 and John Stanley, his graphic description. It's a good call. You reckon he said to his opponents prior to their last, you know, shot, don't miss this. No pressure. Just a little slide there. Your bow's looking a little dodgy, big fella. LAUGHTER

But I like the swimming one. That'd be interesting because they all got to go to those marshalling areas. But they're competitive. I reckon there would be...

Yeah, there'd be some. I reckon there'd be some murmurs. Imagine a 100-metre sprint. They'd have to be like, them blokes are pretty special. I don't want to call them arrogant, but they're sort of very confident people. Hyped up, testosterone. Yeah, yeah, very confident. I reckon there'd be something going on there for sure. Imagine you could say to the Chinese, you know, with all the debates around the whole, you know, performance enhancing, blah, blah, blah. Well, here we meet again, eh? What have you taken in the lead-up to the Olympics? LAUGHTER

You may as well. And then, Darrell, when it comes to archery, of course, you put forward that audition tape a couple of weeks ago because you weren't happy with John Stanley's. I don't know if you heard this, Piggy. He was brilliant. Have a listen. Well, punters, people of Australia, stand up. Get ready to cheer because Simon Fairweather, even he couldn't miss this one. He only needs five points. He pulls it back.

Oh, it's a bullseye. Give me five. Give me five, everybody. This bloke's an Australian and now a world champion, Simon Fairweather. Let's go back to John Stanley. Yes, I think he's won now. Fairweather's been disqualified because there's an Australian bloke screaming in the flesh. Have you heard John Stanley's call?

of that particular thing. Yeah. Riveting. Oh, jeez, you're harsh. I thought it was okay. Well, that's... Don't forget, we discussed he's the flash zone. He wasn't in the flash zone. He was out of it. He couldn't be that loud. He was around the competitors, so he couldn't be that loud. I don't know why you give him such a hard time. He's...

I'm not the one replaying his call. You are. No, you are. Can you replay? Do you want to hear it? I thought it was brilliant. He's composing himself. The first sign, actually, that he may perhaps be starting to feel this pressure, but he hardly needs to get into the centre of that target. He needs a four to win the gold medal. He fires. And he's got it. An eight. And Simon says that if the gold medal is...

in the individual archery. Beautiful. Brilliant. Now that I reflect on it, it was not quite as bad as I thought. Yeah, you can understand. He must have been near the competitors. I don't know where he was because I started cheering 10 seconds before he said he got it. You know, he's a bit behind the times with that as well. All right. Now, I've looked up. There was a bloke there waiting on the line to tell us about the beer pong rules, but he's just dropped off. In the meantime, let's go to Sean at Bunbury over in WA. Hello, Sean.

G'day, mate. How are you? Good, thank you, buddy. Are you putting forward your resume for our beer pong tone? I reckon so. So I served in the military in the early 2000s at the Engineering Corps, and we had a bit of a reputation for being Australia's biggest alcoholics. You like to drink. Well, the problem is, and, you know, obviously if you're in the military, you're obviously pretty good with hand-eye coordination. So for mine, this is ticking a couple of boxes here, if you know what I mean, Sean.

Yeah, yeah. All right. Well, rally up all the boys from the old days and do it for Australia. And anyway, if he's been in the army and we get into a bit of Barney Rubble in the Olympic Village, we've got him to sort things out for us. A couple of landmines? It's just something. Out of interest, Sean, have you kept yourself in good nick or have you let yourself go?

Oh, yeah, I've sort of got better over the last couple of years. I did let myself go there for a while. Well, Sean, thank you for your service, firstly, and thank you for joining in and having a bit of fun with us this afternoon. I think he's nearly even a team captain. Yeah, he sounds good. He sounds impressive. Isn't that my role? Yeah, well...

Mate, you've been demoted. I'm team captain. You've been demoted. We're picking the team. Chris Randall's in for number two. 16-0, Gold Coast leading Warriors. We'll check the kick from Jaden Campbell in just a second. 13 left first half. 16 blot, Gold Coast leading the Warriors. Dave's in Wollongong. Hello, Dave. G'day, Mark. How are you? Very well, thank you, mate. You can help us out with the rules to beer pong. Yeah, Mark, we should have six players each side. We'll pump a few six-packs into each other. LAUGHTER

And then at the end, there'd be a bit of rubbing, sledging, a bit of slurring going on. I like the way you think. All right, you're on the team too, Dave. This is brilliant. So we've got our continuous call team, Beepong. He's our anchor. He's going to be our anchor, mate. He's bringing it in. You know, with Beepong, do you have to, like, you know, ping pong, the ball's got to hit the table. Mm-hmm.

Does a ball have to hit the table for it to bounce in the cup or is it on the full? I think a lot of them throw it on the full. On the full. I think we could change the rules. We can make it up anyway. I think you should have to bounce it first. Yeah, I'm thinking the same thing. When you beat me today in table tennis or ping pong, you spun your balls beautifully. Yeah, I got a good spin. Yeah, but you're allowed to spin your balls. But you can spin your balls. There's no point in spinning it if they don't bounce.

But he's worth it. I know, but I'm saying when you're playing beer pong, if he needs his spin, he can put the top spin on it. Davey would be listening. He's doing a couple of them. Backspin, sidespin, forwardspin. Good stuff. Tim says, afternoon, Levy, Big Man, Piggy and G-String. Levy, probably the most famous sledge in swimming was when the Americans said they were going to smash the Aussie men's relay team like guitars. That's right. When the Aussies won, they all stood on the box playing air guitars. Yeah.

I'm putting in my nomination for the beer pong team. I'm a heap who can give himself a hammering, and my aim gets better the more I drink from Tim and Wenny. He's in. You've got to put him in. Righto, you're in as well. If he's calling himself a heap, he's a heap. Yeah, he's in. One more before we move on to other things. Nathan at Helensburg. Hello, Nathan. G'day, mate. How's it going? Good, thank you, buddy.

Yeah, no, I'm thinking in the marshalling area, we have to make a few rules. But you have to have 12 stubbies before you start in a certain period of time. So then everyone's on the same playing field and then off we go. We're right to go. We're charging. I like it. What are we thinking uniform-wise, Nathan? We might leave that one there. Thank you, mate. Appreciate it. 131873, the number. I was more thinking maybe a bintang singlet.

No, I think just an Aussie singlet. You know what? And we've got to have a Southern Cross tattoo. Stubbies. Stubbies. On your arm? Do you remember stubbies? But I've still got some. Stubbies. A pair of stubbies shorts. A pair of stubbies. A Bond singlet. Yeah.

And a Southern Cross tattoo on your arm. And those cheapo thongs that you buy from Woolies. Double pluggers. Well, if you're wondering how we got onto this, folks, the Gold Coast Bulletin reporting brewers are petitioning for this drinking game to be an official sport at the Brisbane 2032 Olympic Games. There you are. Beer pong. I think I've only ever played it once and I had absolutely no idea what I was doing. Oh, really?

Yeah, I've got to be honest. I don't play it too often. But look, drink responsibly and obviously look after yourself when you're enjoying a little tipple of a weekend. 18-0, Gold Coast leading Warriors. 11 minutes left in the first half. Gee, it's been one-way traffic here, boys. The Titans all over them. Well, they're playing with a bit of passion, aren't they? And the other mob aren't. I mean, to me, this is just an example of a little bit of overconfidence. They come in probably thinking they're going to win. Everyone was tipping the Warriors and...

At the moment, they're getting a bit of a lesson here. Check out tipping comp. Just see, every single person tipped the Warriors. And look, the very first try from the Titans, the winger ran over the try line and ran around all the way under the post. To me, that's a sign they're not there today, the Warriors. Well, all right. We'll take a break. I think our scallops have arrived too, just quietly. We'll take a break. And I think we're checking in with the Queensland camp after this. A break. Back with more.

All I wanted in retirement was to feel confident with my money. So I picked an income account with my industry super fund.

Eight and a half minutes left in the first half. We do that for Uber Reserve. And look, just while we're talking about sponsors, Uber Reserve is one of them. But Spinalese, how did you sleep last night, Paul Gowlin? Absolutely beautiful. Slept like a baby.

Did you wake up every 10 minutes crying? No, no, no. And he did. She woke up all right this morning. Paul, drop off. What? Stop it. We had a great sleep on the bed. Thank you. We woke up fine. Thank you.

Paul, in case you haven't realised, I'm doing a Spinal Ease commercial where it's easy to talk up your bloody sleep. We had a great sleep on the bed. The Spinal Ease mattress is unbelievable. It conforms to your body, moulds your body. You know there's a button there. You press the button and it actually moulds around your body. It's pretty cool. Oh, really? Yeah, it's actually unbelievable. So there's a button on the side of the bed. Press it.

When you feel like... All over the top of you and everything. Yeah, no, not over the top of you, but obviously to your spine. Then you press the button on the side when it's complete. The pillow, add the pillow. Brilliant. Actually, my pillow has actually gotten better. The longer I've had it, the better it's gotten. I'm being serious. It's like now it actually moulds to where I put my head in it. It's really, really good. I've got a couple of the Spinal Ease pillows. They're pretty good. Very nice. He's done a good job, Dr Mo. Well, if you're sick and tired of still waking up with a sore neck or back...

Do what Paul's done and make the switch to the premium Spinal Ease pillow and the mattress.

And now's the perfect time to make the switch because Spinal Ease is running an incredible end of financial year promotion with three value pack bundles available for a limited time only. Choose the package that best suits your needs and save a lot of money. So if you're ready to end those restless nights and start waking up refreshed, head to the Spinal Ease website, which is SpinalEase.com.au now and grab yourself an award-winning Spinal Ease pillow. Spinal Ease.

That's the website. You can check out the mattresses and you can also buy one of these Spinalese pillows. Have you got one, Piggy? Yes, I do. They're very nice. Very, very, very nice. You know what? My young bloke steals it every now and then too. Does he? He likes it, Big Willis. Oh, speaking of Big Willis, you've got to tell the boys what he said to Francis Molo during the week. Oh, that was last week. Yeah. What did he do? Well, Francis Molo's kids go to the same school as William and Francis was walking past and Will yelled out to him.

Hey, Frankie, you going to have a go this week? What did he say? He started laughing. He said, yeah, can't wait. I think it was before. Who did they play? Manly, I think it was, last week or something. They got beat. Yeah, I know. I know. He's not short of confidence, is he, young Willis? No, I started laughing. What year is he in? How old is he? He's in year four. Yeah.

What's that card you give them to spend money on? Spriggy. Spriggy. Spriggy card. There's drama with that. He actually backed Francis to first try. Spriggy card at 25 on him. What's the drama? Oh, mate, it's just never ending. Never. The kids. You blokes are soft, though. You've got to say no more. Well, I have now. Harry had a pupil free day on Thursday this week and...

Obviously, he says, oh, can I have some money? I'm like, what for? He said, oh, me and my mates are going out for breakfast. I said, oh, terrific. Where's my invite? I never knew what a cafe was until I was about 25. They're going out for breakfast. And you know, my missus controls the parent wallet. Oh, yes. So every day I check the credit card, there's more money going out. What is this money going? It's a springy card. Why isn't she spending it?

She might have her own one. Through the Spriggies. She might have her own one. What do you give your Mrs. what, 25 a week to spend? No, she gets what she wants. But what I'm saying is there's a parent wallet. So hang on, let me understand this. Are you suggesting now that there are, well, you're not suggesting, you're telling me that

Now kids in year four are going out for breakfast. No, no, no. This isn't William. This is Harry, my 13-year-old. They're going for breakfast. Well, they caught a train down to Kiama and they went for breakfast at one of the cafes. Mate, Cody last year, year six last year, and still does it at times. There's a cafe right across the road from their school. They used to go and meet in the morning for hot chocolate or milkshakes. What?

True. Before school. I never knew what a cafe was until I was 25, I reckon. Then Harry had the audacity to send me a link of the cafe that he was at in Claremore and say, geez, you and mum should come down here and try it. It's really nice. He didn't say, why don't you give them a mention on the radio? We might get a bit cheaper here. Well, now that I know about this, come along to Proto Silvani. Yeah.

Anyway, 24-0 Gold Coast leading Warriors. Five minutes left in the first half. We are the continuous call time. No change to that score. 24-0 Gold Coast leading Warriors. Three minutes left in the first half. And speaking of Uber Reserve, it's time... Speaking of time, 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. What did you boys think of the scallops? Very nice. Nice. Well done. Well...

We were talking about them, folks, and I had a craving, so I thought, why not? Thank you, Levy. Thank you, Levy. They are nice. There's a few left here, Marcus. Well, I've got to be honest with you, Daryl. I'm a little bit dirty on myself. I had a really nice bottle. I'm going to bring it in tomorrow for you. I've got a nice bottle of wine at home that I wanted to bring in for your birthday today, but I got sidetracked this morning doing something else for this other thing that I'm doing, and I left it on the bench at home. So I'll bring it in for you tomorrow. Sorry, Levy. I don't need presents from you. No, no, no. I just like your friendship. No, no, no. But I had it there...

on the bench and I was going to bring it in. Thank you. So I feel better now that I've given you something. And people who are my age, you blokes know it. I mean, you don't need presents as you get older, do you? No, I don't. You know, we've all got as much stuff as we really need, but I did need some aftershave, which I've finally got. I've been...

Going for a couple of weeks knowing I'd get some aftershave for my birthday. I sort of wanted to get it a bit earlier. What did you get? I can't remember. It's just aftershave. Is your young bloke into that piggy? Yes. My young bloke, big time ahead. He's got five or six different ones. Comes in the morning, puts his neck up.

Yeah, I'm like, what do you do when he gets... Is that after a shave? No, he doesn't shave. They're into the smell. I've never been into it. They're all into him. Young Cody, Gal's little boy. How old's Cody? He's a very quiet, sort of unassuming kid. Loves his foot. He loves being active and all that sort of thing. He's very respectful every time I see him.

So now that he – is he sort of starting to come out of his shell a bit? No, not really. I just think – as Piggy said, he's young, blaster into it too. It's like a thing these days. They're into the smells and the deodorants. Does he manage that? No, no. The girls. He's still a dead set boy. He's still a dead set boy. What do you mean? He hasn't got a pubic hair on him.

No, you can't. Sorry, young fella. You just doubted him, you poor bugger. I would have thought even about him by now. Every now and then I say, can we have a shower? He goes, yeah, sure. I'll drop in the shower, then check him out. No, you can't. No, what? That's my son. Are you happy how he's developed? Yeah, he's fine, man. I know myself. I developed very, very late. No, I'm not talking about him. This isn't a sincere thing. No, but I'm trying to...

Yes, he's fine. There's no issue. There's no issue with him whatsoever. Like I always said, Darrell, it's not about the size. It's not about that. He's still a boy. But going back to the smelly stuff, you don't know what you got. No, I forget what it is. What colour is it, Big Mom? What is it? It's yellowish. It's yellowish and it's like rectangular. Do you have any idea what they are, Pete? Because some of the names he brings out, like

Very, very French names. Million One or Mill One. I've got a David Beckham one at the moment. It's quite nice. I've got the Gold Bar one. Mate, you know the David Beckham one is very inexpensive. Yeah, it's cheap. I wasn't going to say cheap. I was going to say inexpensive. But I don't know whether that's an indication of what it's like or not. But it's not expensive. I got mine, Daryl, from another sponsor of this radio station, Chemist Warehouse. Because I bought it online. That's where Darling got this one. It was like $25, $30 or something. Oh, really? And it smells nice. Some of them are, like, depends on how much you get in any...

what is it, milliliter? Mills or whatever it is. It depends how many mills you get. Let's face it, I need a better smell to improve my chances. Well, your chances would be good. You've got to mix your game up with the aftershaves. Look, I don't want to shock you here, Levy, but I don't know if aftershaves are going to do the trick. Mate, you know what you've got to do, Mark? This is what I just said.

You've just got to have a crack, mate. That's what you've got to do. Just have a crack. I've got to have more confidence in myself. Listen, I'm fine. You've got the best chat in the game. That's all you need these days. You know what you should do? It can be inappropriate from time to time. We all can. When you've got your restaurant, I'd be going, like if there's a table there with, say, four chicks. I'm just thinking. Four chicks sitting there. I'd go up and say, yeah, Mark Lee, TGB. I don't know whether I can share this story on air, but I will. This is how much I sort of don't think before I speak.

I went to a little place that we go to, Gal, FX, which is a little place at, is it Caring Bar? Caring Bar, yeah. It's a well-known haunt. You can go and get a burger, you can get a salad, you can do all these different things. So I'm sitting there with a couple of my mates. I think Josh came. Gal was doing something. Oliver was there. And we were just having a little business meeting. Anyway, a bloke who I actually went to school with, he owns a gym. He turned up and he goes, oh, g'day, lady, blah, blah, blah. And he had these four very, very attractive young women with him. Anyway, so, and they've all got their tights on.

So I'm sort of sitting with my back towards them and all I heard was, oh, where do I squeeze? So I've turned around and said, oh, hello, inappropriate conversation. Where do I squeeze? And she goes, I wasn't talking to you. And I thought, oh, no, that was only going to go one of two ways. Great start. So in what context were you saying, where do I squeeze? Well, she was saying, where do I squeeze? And I turned around and I was looking at her backside. Oh, right. Was she squeezing that at the time? No, but... I think she was trying to squeeze in a spot.

and Marcus interpreted it in an inappropriate way. Thank you. Thank you. Anyway, let me get back to it. When you open your restaurant, I reckon you should have a night, a girls-only night, singles night for girls. Yes. And who happens to be there? And you know, well, someone's got to serve. And I would suggest you may even put, and I don't know if this is legal or appropriate either, half-priced drinks on it.

That's all right. Just put a limit on them. First 20, half price. Cocktails. First 20 cocktails. You could have cowboys. You know what we're doing on the opening night? I want a cowboys. What are they called? I've got them called cowboys. By the way, if I was to invite you three to the opening night, will you come?

Pending what night it's on? It'll be in the middle of the week. Yeah, I'll be there. Because obviously we work on the weekends. Yeah, you organise an Uber. You know what I've organised? We're going to do like an espresso martini tower thing. Ooh. That'll be good. Will you add them, stack them all up? So it's all stacked up. Oh, wow. Through this mob that's working with us, they said, do you want an espresso martini tower? I said, what are they? Yes. And she showed me the phone. I went, yes. I reckon that'll be quite dangerous. What if Gail took the bottom one out? That's what I mean. What if it falls over? What's that game you play? Jenga? Jenga. Jenga.

Come on, Gail, take the bottom one. I dare you. Someone will have to do it. And I've got these little suckling pigs that are going to be not walking around but on big trays and people will say, it's going to be beautiful. I'm assuming that they're not walking around. What, can you eat them when they're alive? Just take a slice off. They're cooked, you idiots. Gail says this one's a good one. It's a suckling pig. Take that wig. You know, they're not going to be walking around. LAUGHTER

You know what? When you say it back to me, you're right. I'm an idiot. Anyway, on the way to the break, let me tell you about Harvey Norman because from the latest tech to quality furniture, you'll get amazing... They're not going to walk around.

Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance. Consider the fund's PDS and whether the product is right for you. Now, gentlemen, you and Josh do your racing tips. Just put your headsets on. Sorry, mate. Just missed the kick there. I'm usually pretty good with that. Well, you do your racing tips on a Friday night. I don't know whether they've run just yet. No, they're null and void today. Oh, no good. Well, mine is because a ramwick was abandoned today. It wasn't abandoned, was it?

Still running that up. Abandoned. You said it was abandoned. So Corky hasn't produced the track. Corky's out of shocker. He's bloody hopeless, Corky. All these race goers that rely on, you know, their employment and money coming in, whether it be trainers, jockeys, scrappers, and you name it, Corky, you've failed us. Well, I'm just having a look because...

Josh was at Donald, wasn't he? Yeah. And I think he was in race six or seven. Was he actually in it himself? Was he racing? No, he's tipped. Oh, he got up. Jessup got up. Race seven, number three, Jessup. Jessup got up, paid $340. Ah. So he's tipped one. Is he going well tipping wise or not? I think that's his third of the year.

Okay, that's pretty good. Three from 12, J-Moz. He's improving. That's not bad. You'd probably be about square three from 12, wouldn't he? Well, the reason I bring it up is because Daniel at South Windsor, who fancies himself as a bit of a racing tipster, he says, Mark, give this tip to the team, especially the big man for his birthday. Next race, Flemington, very good form around winners of previous races. It is contested. Race eight, number three, Moto Race. Currently $26 on the tab, jumping at four o'clock.

Moto Race. So gamble responsibly if you are having a little flutter on the races. Chances are you're about to lose. Gamblinghelponline.org.au, I've got to say that. But race eight, number three at Flemington Moto Race. So at big odds if you fancy a little flutter on the races. I've actually got the golden arrow on that, just thought I'd throw that one in. Thank you. Levy, the best fragrance is Jean-Paul Gaultier Le Male. That's one me young boy's got.

Well, you'd be worried about this then because Rowan says, every time I wear it out, I seem to get a bit of interest. Oh, well, I don't mind if he gets interest. He's a boy. But he, John Paul, that's the one. What about your daughter? Does she wear it? No, she doesn't wear it. 15-year-old. She doesn't wear it. Daryl. She came out from the beach smelling like it. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

Good stuff, Levy. That's a low blow, Marcus. That's not... Low blow, Marcus. Low blow. How is that a low blow after what Fergo told you a couple of weeks ago? I can't remember what she said. No, you know exactly what she said. 131873, the number 2GB.com. Click onto the feedback icon. On the opening night, Levy, after Gal demolishes the Espresso Martini Tower, who will be sending the demon home?

from Willow. Well, given I'm the licensee, I'll have to cut him off and send him home. The Demon's Retired. I've had a drink this year, don't forget. It's been very good. It's been about four months now.

Tell you what, if I did come out that night, wouldn't that be big? Might be our first and only night. Anyway, see what you blokes have started. What have we started? Levy, have you sorted out the parking situation? Drop off, would you? That's a good point. I thought Levy would be a VB aftershave man from Steve. Well, no, I'm using the David Beckham one at the moment, and it's quite nice. I don't mind it, but thank you for your interest. What's the VB one? Does it smell like... Can you have a drink of it?

No, Daryl, it's just a labelled VB aftershave. Does it smell like VB, though? No. Have you tried that? Daryl, do you really think it's going to smell like beer? Yeah, I do. Do you think it's going to smell like beer? Why would VB put out aftershave if it didn't help their brand? Another stream of revenue, Daryl. Daryl, I've been with you today on your birthday, but I'm against you on this one. You honestly think VB's going to put out an aftershave that smells like beer? Mm-hmm.

You are an imbo. We are the Continuous Call team. 30 points to Neil Gold Coast leading the Warriors as we take you around the grounds for Uber Reserve. And Lumpy's listening. He says, Lever, you have to put a shout out to Kate, a lovely lady that's an Uber driver. She had you guys on. She listens to you guys all the time and loves the big man heading to see Jimmy Barnes. Well, to you, Kate, thank you for listening to the Continuous Call team. And on behalf of the big man, we love you too. And Lumpy, you behave yourself and enjoy Jimmy Barnes' call.

Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance. Consider the fund's PDS and whether the product is right for you. Welcome you back to the McDonald's Interactive Studio. Play continuing on the Gold Coast where it's the Titans 30 leading the Warriors nil. That's after five minutes in the second half. 30 points to nil. The Gold Coast leading the Warriors as we take you around the grounds for Uber Reserve. We'll launch into our live footy part of the afternoon after five o'clock. Matt Thompson will be in the chair.

And I'll get to the chair in just a second. The Roosters playing the Bulldogs at 5.30. And then at 7.35, the Rabbitohs up against the Seagulls. Last night, Melbourne beat the Dolphins by 30 points to 24. And, well, we head to Melbourne. Wednesday night, State of Origin. Ray will be with us to broadcast the game. Game number two, must win for New South Wales.

and Queensland a chance to wrap up a third straight series victory. This is what Reece Walsh had to say this week about being back in that Queensland side. I know I had the protocols to go through and a bit of persuading there for Bill to give my job back because Hammer killed it. So that was a bit tough. But, no, yeah, I just had to tick all the boxes and do everything right and then hope for that phone call. So, yeah, really grateful for Bill giving me an opportunity. It falls...

had any doubts or I was scared, mate, I wouldn't pull on the Queensland jersey. I know how much it means to the people of Queensland and, you know, the past players and, um...

You know, they need a team out there that's willing to put their body on the line and do whatever for their state. So if I was scared or shy in any way, mate, I think I'd pull myself out. Yeah, I made the point last night with Piggy and Josh. I don't know whether our listeners saw it. We may have people listening to us in Toowoomba. But there was a huge crowd that turned out on, I think it was Tuesday, and when

When Rhys Walsh emerged from the sheds to make his way onto the field there, it was dead set like One Direction had just arrived. The amount of noise and the screaming and everything for Rhys Walsh. And, Daryl, you've got to... Well, obviously, did a bit of work with him earlier this year for television. I read a report that Channel 9's trying to lock him up to do a bit more stuff. He's just the pin-up boy in rugby league at the moment. He's a superstar. Not just on the field, but off the field as well. And I know... I remember this time probably 12 months ago, I was thinking...

I'm just wondering whether there might... It looks too good to be true, you know, whether there might be a darker side to him or something, you know, and he's going to get himself into trouble because he's just... Everyone loves him. The girls love him. He's a good-looking bloke and he's got a beautiful little daughter, I think, what, about two and a half, three? I don't know how old she is. Layla, I think her name is. Yeah, but she's a beautiful kid. But I...

I'm not saying I've had a lot to do with him, but I've had a little bit to do with him. And I've got to say, he's so respectful. He's quite different to what I thought he would be like. Like, he's got a bit of a lair in him. Don't worry about that. But I think he's entitled to have a bit of it in him. He's a hell of a player. Unbelievable player. Wow. And, Gal, as much as, you know, as much as this time of year you despise Queensland, Origin is made there for the best of the best.

And Rhys Walsh is a superstar. We want to see him out there. And New South Wales will obviously go after him and try and, you know, limit his involvement in the game. Yeah, of course. I mean, all the main players are targeted. In all games, they're targeted. Not illegally. I've said that over and over the past few weeks. There's no way New South Wales went out there a couple of weeks ago to take him out of the game illegally. It happened. Something went wrong. And that's what happens in this high...

speed contact sport uh we want to see him on the field he's a great play he's an absolute superstar of our game as we've just just touched on but um as this bloke he just took an intercept he's a star too but richard she's an absolute superstar and they won't catch that's your man carl perera i think i'm jogging and he's just sprinted away from them

So 34 points to nil. The Gold Coast Titans lead the Warriors. There's still 33 minutes left. They're just slapping each other over the head. Last week, they were hopeless. I mean, they made nine linebacksers. Their last pass could have stuck three or four times. They probably would have won that game, but it didn't. But obviously, everything's sticking today for them. Still in the back of what Big Man said about Reece Walsh. I mean,

There's a bit of layer in him for sure, but you've got to remember he's human. At some stage, he's probably going to do something to come unstuck. I just hope it's not too big because he's just going to have a target on his back. Everyone loves him and he's just that guy that...

someone, unfortunately, one day is going to want to try and take down... Was it last year he got into trouble when he was in the Queensland side for some reason? I'm trying to remember what it was. Oh, he said something, said like your mum or something. Yeah, I mean, that, which was nothing. You know, it was like, he's a young man. He's only a boy. He's got a lot to learn. That was before the grand final one.

Let's not forget. He has learned. And he's made this point in the past. He got in trouble with an illicit substance on the gold coast. And that's where he said he learned his lesson. He learned that he needs to be a better person. We all make mistakes and you know, I'm not going to hammer the bloke, but I think that was probably a moment where he thought to himself, you know what, if I want to be a superstar, an athlete, I've got to do the right thing. Um,

and he hasn't put a foot wrong so far. He hasn't. He's just still so young. You can't believe the impact he's had on the game at a young age. I mean, I think about some of the stars, Cameron Smith, Thurston, Slater. They're all stars. From the time they come into the game, you can tell they're going to be good players, but they weren't really as elite as what they were until probably later in their career, in their late 20s, early 30s, and this bloke's still in his young 20s. I said a few weeks ago, and I think they should do this. I think the NRL should put him on a contract.

Mate, he could be a marquee player. He could be the face of the game for a decade, this kid. He absolutely could. And I think the NRL should. If I'm Australian Rugby Union, I'd be throwing millions at him. I would say. Yeah, mate.

The problem is they don't have millions. And they've already done that with Sueli. And the face of the game is the poison chalice. I agree with you, Daryl, but the only issue will be all the other clubs will come out and go, well, why haven't we got a market? That's going to be the issue. But there's no reason why the NRL can't use him in a marketing role and all that sort of thing. And I think what you say is bang on the money. Now, look, who stitched me up?

with his ordinary chair. Well, during the news, Levy, off the back of last night, there was... What happened last night? I was near. Well, there was an issue with his chair. He actually broke...

the host's chair in this studio last night. How'd you break it? Well, I lent on the right arm. You sat on it? I lent on it. You sat on it? I lent on it and it broke. And broke the whole thing, the whole armchair. Not Raimondo's chair. No, no. Yeah, just Ray's chair. It's a crappy chair that I use on a Saturday that's already broken. So Tom rang me this morning. Tom who? Malone. Malone! And he just mentioned that, look, they need to make sure they can't afford to be

buying new chairs all the time. So we've brought that chair in for you for the afternoon to make sure you don't break another one. Given the amount of work I'll be doing over the next month, if this is the chair I'll be using, I'll happily hand in my resignation. It's the most uncomfortable. This is the worst chair. Andrew said he was going to find the most uncomfortable. What's wrong with it? Where did he get it from? Have a look at it. It's made of metal. Look at it. It's just a metal-like outdoor chair.

It's awful. Andrew, can we get this back and put my other one back, will you? Now, Daryl, I'm going to get Mark over here, our man, to light the candles because we've got our little birthday cake in here and we can't leave it on too long because we've got

got fire alarms and everything. So let's start singing Daryl a happy birthday. One, two, three. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday, dear big man. Happy birthday to you. Hip hip. Hooray. Hip hip. Hooray. Hip hip. Hooray. Hip hip.

Happy birthday, big man. Thank you very much. It's so lovely. Very nice. Beautiful cake. Cake looks beautiful. I can't cut it. Don't touch the bottom. You have to kiss the closest boy.

Why are you getting closer? Is that what your daughter said? Big Mark. We're off again. We're off again. Did she teach you that? Where's the knife? There's no knife. We haven't got a knife. Okay, we'll have some of that. It looks beautiful. I can't see where that's from, but it looks beautiful.

Andrew bought the cake today. Thank you, Andrew. You should know. Very good. Put an invoice in for that. You know, Andrew's a decorated cake maker himself. He used to be a barista. Remember when he made us coffee? He used to be a barista. I can do that as well. I've been doing it, practicing at Marcus Joint. New pronto. Pronto Surveillance. I've been practicing barista skills. Andrew made us a coffee in here one day and then said he was a barista. Mate, it was awful. He had about four scoops of coffee in it. It was...

To be fair, did I make you a coffee the other day? No. I can actually do it. Listen, can you stop walking into my place and using the equipment, please? I'm making sure it works in the cage. I'm going to change the locks. How are you getting in? And filming it. We haven't even actually officially opened the doors yet. Yeah. Anyway. All right. Nice coffee? It's not too bad, yeah. I can't complain. Thanks very much.

He doesn't like it. I just said yes. He doesn't like it. No, I just said yes, it is. Thanks very much. I thought you said. Yeah, not too bad. Yeah, not too bad. Now, let me tell you, I drink coffee at my coffee shop, right? And you know, you sort of get used to it. See, I started drinking coffee probably six, seven years ago. Then I stopped for a couple of years throughout COVID. And now I'm back on it. And I go to the same coffee shop all the time. So I'm quite used to their coffee. It's obviously a different bean than the one you use. So there is a bit of a different taste there, but I've got no problem with it.

Put it into the coffee we had here this morning, I didn't enjoy. Oh, really? I thought that was nice. No, I didn't like that. But you're one I enjoy. You're a coffee snob. Maybe I am turning into one. So what? You're saying leave his coffees. Not too bad, and I quit. Yes, not too bad. Yes. Yes. I'm not against it at all, but I'm just not used to it. Especially when it's free. Who said it was free? I haven't paid for it yet.

It's on tick, isn't it? Tick it up. This is not going to end well. Can I ask what brand of coffee bean, Levy, that you guys are using? Because you have told me. Piazzadora, I think it's called. That's the one. There's actually two containers full of it, though. What's the difference? Well, see, I'm actually going to do a barista's course this week.

Really? Well, see, the reason I'm doing this is because I want to learn more about business, but I want to know everyone's job. And that's a very important point, Mark. And it's like another interest for me because I don't have any hobbies. Like, I don't play golf or anything, so I can put my time into that. That's very good. I'm pretty busy doing what I'm doing here, but...

So one of them I got told is use one bean for the long blacks or something and the espresso martinis, and then you use the other one for just normal coffees or something. Okay. Do you know how much better the beans are? Is there stronger beans than others? I'm assuming there would be, yeah, in the intensity, I think they call it, of the coffee bean.

But you make your own coffee at home? Yeah. Like with your own beans and stuff? I don't, but you can. I use those pods, you know, the pods and the Nespresso pods. I've got those. They make it a lot easier. Do you have one of those spaceship-looking machines at home? No, no, just the normal ones where you put the little pod in and you've got the milk container that connects to it and then it just makes it all... Milk, yeah. Well, you know, I always say... Well, that's what we've got as well. But you know what I'd like...

To be posh, I'd love to buy the big cappuccino maker machine. You know, not the big one you'd have in your restaurant. It is different. Froth the milk and everything. No, I just love coffee now from an actual barista made properly. I know the podge ones and all the homemade ones, they're okay, some of them, but there's nothing like having a barista make coffee. So they're okay, like...

No, Levy's is a whole lot better. I'm just saying I love Levy's coffee. I love that type of coffee. It's not too bad. It's gone from not too bad to... I love it. It's not too bad. It's not as bad as I thought it would be.

We're just looking at David Fita nearly scoring a try. Oh, he got held up. How did he get held up there? I don't know. What I can tell you is Roger Tuivasa-Shek's gone to the bin for the Warriors, so it's 13 on 12, and the Warriors are the team down to 12, and the Gold Coast are leading 36-0, and there's still 26 minutes left, so this could get where we are.

Oh, here we go. Here they go. The young fullback scores a try for the Gold Coast. Not a bad player, this kid. 40 blot. Yeah, he's not a bad player. There's not much of him, but he's a pretty good player. 40-0. 40 points to nil. Gold Coast leading Warriors kick to come. 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 your ride with Uber Reserve. We are the continuous call team.

131873, the number that try was converted. So it's 42-0, Gold Coast leading Warriors with still 24 to play in the second half. We do that for Uber Reserve. 42-0, Gold Coast leading the Warriors. That's as we take you around the grounds. Just before we go any further, I need to give you a ladder update, thanks to Ducks Hot Water. Built stronger to last longer. The Storm have now moved to the top of the table, 26 points.

The Dolphins remain in fourth on 20 points off the back of last night. Two charges from the match review committee. We do that for Brighton's lawyers, protecting your future. When winning is all that matters, you need Brighton's lawyers on your side. Tevita Pangai Jr., dangerous contact. That's for a $1,000 fine for an off-the-ball hit on Christian Welch.

Trent Liero, crusher tackle, $3,000 fine. That one on Herbie Farnworth. So they're the two charges to come out of the match review committee. And an injury report for Deep East, the iconic brand you know and trust, feel at work. Jack Bostock left the field in the first three minutes of the game after being knocked out while trying to make a tackle on Will Warbrick.

He showed Category 1 symptoms and will miss next week's clash with the Dragons, which is a shame because he's a Dragons junior, isn't he, Piggy? Yeah, he's a Shell Arbor Stingrays junior down my way at my local club. So he'll be really disappointed in that. It's always a buzz to go and play against your old club or junior club, but he won't be there. It was pretty disappointing, wasn't it? The way he was knocked out straight away early in that game.

And unfortunately, they couldn't recover the Dolphins. Is this going to take him to 50 here if he scores this? No, he scored it. It is. It's 48, sorry. 46, he should kick it. I was about to get the red pen and put it through the Warriors. It's one of those... 50 against them. It's just one of those games, isn't it? We're just...

everything's going to the Titans. You could tell, well, from the start, it is the Titans. They just wanted it more. You could tell from the first try. When a winger scores a try over the Titans, he managed to run 35 metres under the post without anyone trying to stop him. Can I ask a question here? Hang on, Darrell. Piggy. Yes.

The Titans are last on the ladder. Right. You've just made the comment. Oh, the Warriors. No, the Warriors. Oh, God damn it. No, no, no. I was confused. I'm like, what? No, because you know how they say, I watch you at 50 foot on you, go and win the comp. I'm like, well, hold on here. Gotcha. Sorry, Dan. I'm worried. You know, I got this beautiful birthday cake, and thank you, Andrew, for purchasing it. It looks magnificent.

Look better in the box. Well, I tried to cut it up. It's actually nice. It's very difficult to cut up, but it's only three trays. I don't have a plate for myself. He's straight out of that. I'm not going to eat it straight out of the cake box, you imbecile.

Because that's not good. Thank you, mate. Thank you very much. It's uncouth. It is uncouth. Please don't eat while we're on air. Are you going to get out? I'll help you if you want. Thank you. You know, the chocolate's very chocolatey. Yeah, it looks beautiful. Gee whiz, if you're a Gold Coast Titan supporter, this looks beautiful for you too. A 48-0 it is with 22 minutes to go. This could be a world record.

I wouldn't go that far. Well, I don't know. It'll be one of their biggest wins, you'd think. You'd think so. What do you reckon it'll end up? Here you go. Put them on the line. Jabba Jaws. I reckon 64. 44-0, Big Martin. So this is their biggest ever win over the Warriors. Their last... Oh, they're not home yet because here come the Warriors. This can't be... Daniel says, G'day, team. I'm up at Gosford for the Roosters Bulldogs tonight and I'm outraged.

I just got charged $15 for a Billy's meat pie. No. Honestly, that can't be. Must be a family one. Daniel, that can't be right. $15 for a meat pie. No, that can't be right. That wouldn't surprise me. Really? Yeah, these days. No, not $15. I'm telling you, they charge what they want these days. It's a price of living and things like that. Especially at a game where it's a

concentrated environment where they can charge what they want. Where's he going to go? Down the road to buy another one? Yeah, you know where he goes? He goes down the road to McDonald's and he gets two Smart Meals. Two McSmart Meals. But then he's got to walk a couple hundred metres, leave the family, probably can't get a pass out and a pass back in. Here comes

The Warriors. Tamari Martin has scored a try. 48-4. Can they do it, the Warriors? Don't touch the six. No, stop it. Don't touch the six. Hey, don't you go anywhere. 48-4, goalcars leading the Warriors. Kick to come for the Warriors. And that's midway through the second half. Out of interest, here's a question for our listeners. What do you get...

I don't want to sound like we're elitists here, but it's very hard for us to judge this because when we go to the footy, we're working. So we have a media pass to get in. They usually drop off some bottles of water, maybe a meat pie. But if you were to take the family along to the footy these days, right, in the midst of a cost of living crisis, what is it costing you when you factor in tickets to get into the footy, something to eat, something to drink, and maybe a little ice cream on the way out or something? What are you talking about, a family of four? Say a family of four. I reckon family of four, you'd have to...

I reckon 200. Couple hundred. Yeah, I was thinking 200 easy. One thing I will say, and Gail will know this as well, is that the NRL do do a good thing about if you're a registered junior in rugby league, you get access to a free ticket every weekend to one game. So obviously, you know, if you've got a couple of kids and they play local footy, then, you know, like my boys...

They can go to the Dragons game for nothing, you know. So that's obviously going to help families out if they're registered with the local junior leagues and playing footy. They get free tickets to the games. But the reason I ask that question is, Piggy, we're talking about expanding the game. We're talking about, you know...

I want people to go along and watch rugby league. And I'm not for one minute suggesting that, you know, we're not getting great crowds because the numbers would indicate that we're getting plenty of people to games. But I heard Chris O'Keefe talking this week. He went along with his little boy Henry to Leichhardt Oval last week to stand on the hill. It cost him $50 to get in, to stand on the hill in the rain. Just for him? $50. Really? And I thought to myself, that's just ridiculous. For him or both of them? Just him. Well, he's young. That's pretty...

But the issue you've got as well, sorry, Leaves, like today up at the Central Coast, and correct me if I'm wrong, it's not a club issue, it's the ground issue, and then the caterer's issue, who's obviously got that contract for the ground, they can then charge, as Gal says, they charge what they want because they know they've got you in the stadium. Captured audiences. They don't want to leave. Well, see, that's why we got the SMS off, Daniel, and I think it's...

worth while saying it. $15 is ridiculous. For $15, you should be able to get pie, chips and maybe a drink. And Daniel, I have no reason to doubt you, but I think we need to just double check that it's right here. If they're charging $15 for a meat pie at Gosford this afternoon at the Roosters-Bulldogs game, that is an absolute bloody disgrace. $15 for a meat pie, that's taken the P1SS.

seriously, 131873, the number. There's a question for you, folks. What are you paying to go along to the footy at the moment? And I know we're all about having fun on this program, but $15 for a meat pie, that is ridiculous. 48-6, Gold Coast leading Warriors, 18 minutes left in the second half. You know what we'll do? We'll ring the NRL and find out if we can get some clarity on a number for Gosford because I think we need to check this out. $15.10, according to Daniel, for a meat pie. Unbelievable. My young boy's going there today, actually. I might have.

Look at you, Spriggy. Yeah, but you'll be pumped today. You'll be a new world record for Spriggies. We're off to a break. We'll come back with more. Daniel, thank you for alerting us to what they're charging at Gosford. If there's anybody else at Industry Group Stadium that can see the prices, I'd love to get some clarity around this. We're going to get in contact with the NRL, but that's just taking people for a ride.

Anyway, I try to stick up for the Battlers, you know, blue-collar game, but that's just... $15, come on. I can't believe it. Anyway, 131873, the number. Jeremy's at West Pennant Hills. Hello, Jeremy. How are you? Good, thank you, mate.

That's right. Yeah, I went to Parra the other week and thought I'd just grab a burger at the county. It was $23 for the burger and my membership cost me $500 a year. Hold on, where was this at? Parra Manor, did you say? Parra Manor, yeah. What, $23 for a hamburger? $23, yep.

Was it a combo, like chips and a drink, or just a burger? Just a burger, mate. I can't afford to be fancy and pay another $8 or $7 for a bottle of Coke. Guys, that's unfortunate, the way it is at the moment. When you go to a normal cafe on the side of the road, it's probably $18, $19. And if you're at a, as I said, if you've got a captured audience here at the footy, throw another $3 or $4, $5 on it, no one's really going to...

But, Gal, I think what the issue here is, if the NRL's trying to get people to go to games...

And I know the NRL will come back and say this isn't our issue, but the NRL needs to make it their issue. Yeah, I'm not agreeing with that. Because people aren't going to go to the football. They're going to sit at home and watch it on television, which obviously doesn't harm our mates at Channel 9. But rugby league, we want crowds. We want these games played in front of people. If we're a blue-collar game and we want to look after the people that go along and pay their memberships and go to the footy...

Well, we need to make it affordable for them. And to charge people $50 to stand on a hill at Leichhardt Oval is ridiculous. And to charge people $15.10 for a meat pie at Gosford is taking the P1SS. I'm not disagreeing with that. All I'm saying is I can see that. It doesn't surprise me what I'm trying to say. The price of living is insane at the moment. It's really so expensive. All right, 131873, the number. Now, look, boys, we need to welcome a new member to the team.

the continuous call team because we've got Women's State of Origin coming up on Thursday in Townsville. It's a sellout, by the way. The decider, Queensland taking on the Sky Blues. And joining the team this time around in commentary with Chris Warren and Jamie Soward is a 27-year-old woman born in Newcastle. She's got a couple of nicknames, including Bob and Big Nug. She's one of the elite centres in the NRLW competition. Big Nug.

Bobby Law will be joining the commentary team, one of the St. George Illawarra Dragons, and I'm pleased to say she joins us on the line. Hello, Bobby. Hello. Thanks for having me. Now, tell me, are you pumped to be joining the continuous call team to call some rugby league or what? Yeah, I'm ready to make my debut. I'm a little bit nervous, but I've been practising with Siawi and I'm ready for it. Well, I was going to say that. Practising.

I don't know if that's going to help you. That's not ideal. No more practice, Bobby. No more practice. One thing we do well on this program, no preparation. We just walk in. These three blokes alongside me, they came in this morning and said, Libby, what game are we covering this afternoon? That's how much preparation goes into the continuous call team. But look, you are one of the...

elite NRLW players these days and hasn't the women's origin series been absolutely scintillating in another sellout crowd on Thursday night in Townsville this is going to be an absolute beauty yeah it's unreal and to have the first ever three game series for the women and it's heading to a decider I think it's really good for women in league and I think women in sport in general

Bobby, obviously disappointing for New South Wales when they had that game two and it looked for a long period of that game like they were going to wrap it up. But I think I'm pretty sure it was Lauren Brown who nailed that field goal for Queensland. What have they got to do to improve when they go up to Townsville for game three?

Well, I think that the conditions up in Townsville are going to, Townsville are going to suit the New South Wales girls, actually. As we saw in the first game, a dry pitch, they were able to spread it out wide and get to their strike players. So I think the conditions up there are going to play into the hands of the New South Wales girls. Bobby, I'm interested in the, I've,

we've got here a couple of nicknames. Now, who was the creative genius who nicknamed you Bob? Oh, I think just short for Bobby, I think that's just a no-brainer there. What about Big Nug? Yeah, I don't know. That was my sister's. I don't know where it's come from, but it's stuck and a few people are getting on the bandwagon of it.

Well, look, I'm certainly on the bandwagon. I'd rather call you Big Nug than Bob. Well, that's what I want to hear when you guys are commentating the game. Imagine that when we're back at the footy. Obviously, this game's in Townsville. Down to the touchline. Here she is, Big Nug. What have you got, Big Nug? Well, let's hope what they do there. Yeah, I think it sounds great.

Who should we be keeping an eye out in this New South Wales side? Obviously, they've got a great record in Townsville, but are there any players in particular that we should be keeping an eye out in this game?

I think Olivia Koenig's been massive for the New South Wales girls in both those two first games that we've seen. I think she's just been really good, you know, usually a second row, but she's moved to lock and she just moves that ball really well for the girls and gets to the strike weapons in Isabel and Jess. So you'll obviously be tipping the Sky Blues to win. I want to ask Big Nug a question. What about the Queenslanders? Hang on, hang on, hang on. Who are you tipping firstly, Big Nug?

Obviously New South Wales, you know, proud New South Wales woman myself. So hard to see past them. What about the Queenslanders? Who's the danger girl for Queensland?

I think Ali Brigginshaw, every time she has the ball, she creates magic. So she's definitely one to watch. And I think it was a smart choice for the Queenslanders to move her out of lock and back into the half. I saw that they moved her back to half. Like I said last night on the footy show, I was talking to Lana Ferguson about it. She's definitely slowed down a little bit as far as the speed goes, but she's still very quick between the years and seems to be able to free up the rest of the team because she has moved to halfback.

It's just our experience coming through there. So, yeah, I think it's going to be a very, very good game and it's going to be an hour-biter, I reckon. Fantastic. Well, Bobby, I'm going to say this. I can already tell you're going to be a superstar on Thursday night. This is fantastic. Big nugs on fire. I've got to show up, Sally, so... You already have. We'll give it to you. LAUGHTER

Look, Bobby is the captain of the continuous call team these days. I'm prepared to say you've already outdone him. I think we should have you in co-commentary and put, see, how are your special comments? What do you reckon? Should we promote you before your first ever game with us?

100% and he'll hate that so I'm all for it. Oh, he'll hate it. Well, go well on Thursday, Bobby. It's great to have you part of the team and we'll be listening to Women's State of Origin with yourself, Jamie Soward and Chris Warren on Thursday night from 7.30. We cannot wait. Welcome to the team.

Thank you very much. Awesome. That's Bobbie Law, one of the NRLW players for St. George of Lawarra, and she'll be joining the commentary team on Thursday night to cover Queensland and New South Wales, the decider at Queensland Country Bank Stadium in Townsville.

Reserve now, ride later with Uber Reserve. Now, we've gone to the statistics and the record books, Daryl. Yeah. Piggy and Gow. The biggest win...

was 44 points for the Titans back in 2021 when they won 44-0. So they're going to eclipse that. The highest score they've ever achieved is 44 points, four times, the last being in round 22 of 2022. And then head-to-head records, biggest wins for the Titans was 44-0 in 2021 against the Warriors. And the highest score was 44-0 back in 2021 as well. So it's that same game. So,

They've obviously broken all records with this win this afternoon and congratulations to the Gold Coast and to Desi Hasler as well. 131873, 2GB.com, 4BC.com.au. Click onto the feedback icon. Time for this. Now it's time for PointsBet's new NRL experience. Chances are...

You're about to lose. For free and confidential support, visit gamblinghelponline.org.au. Yeah, George Rose is our man from PointsBets, the manly legend, and he's on the line right now. Hello, George.

Hey, boys, you'll have to excuse me. I've been searching from your bottom drawer. I can't believe what the Titans have done up there today against the Warriors. Carve up. Your old coach, Desi Hasler, is on fire, mate. He's got something special, Des. He knows how to bring out something special. He certainly does. What about the 5.30 game Roosters Bulldogs? The Doggies, $3.10 Outsiders. I think that's a good price about the Dogs. $1.37 the Roosters. Who are you tipping this one, George?

Well, look, I'm sticking with the upsets. We saw it last time Origin rolled around. I think we had four out of five upsets. And I am a bit nervous that the Titans have gone well because that was a big upset there. But I still think the doggies can do it. I reckon the fact that they're missing Lindsay Collins, Connor Watson, a little bit in that front row, I think that the Bulldogs might get over them there.

Who's licking their fingers at the moment? No, it's not me. George, it's Daryl's birthday and we've just had the most delicious chocolate cake. Mate, it's the nicest chocolate cake. Do you like chocolate cakes, George?

You know what? It's my daughter's birthday today as well. Happy birthday. I'll put away my fair share of cake today as well. Well, mate, this is one of the great cakes. It's like chocolate, but it's creamy chocolate. It's like a mousse one, isn't it? Yeah, it's just beautiful. Well, big man, I love you that much. I can now go and have another slice of my daughter's cake as well because I'm celebrating your birthday as well. Good on you, mate. Well, happy birthday to her. What's her name?

Billy, Billy Ray. Billy, what a great name. Well, isn't that funny? We've just had a Bobby on the line. Now we're talking to George who's got a little Billy. Beautiful stuff. Good planning, 22nd of June. Well done, mate. Hey, George, same game multi for tonight, please, mate.

Look, so I've got the Bulldogs getting the win. I've got Bulldogs head-to-head. Total match tries over nine and a half. I want to see a heap of them, and I want to see Jacob Graz any time try scorer. Well, if memory serves me correct, Piggy... You nearly had it last night, George. If all you needed was...

Half-time. The Dolphins were up 18-12 and Melbourne scored. I was strutting around the house. I've got it. Because Trey Fuller had just gone over. I was strutting around the house. And then the storm crashed over. All right. Well, let me recap it for you. Bulldogs head-to-head. Total match tries over nine and a half. Jacob Kira's any time try-scorer.

That'll get you $16.32 with our mates at PointsBet. So why not play a same-game multi tonight? You can follow George Rose's lead. Happy birthday to little Billy, mate, and we'll check in tomorrow.

Cheers, mate. Have a good one. There he is, George Rose from Pointsbet. Imagine what you could be buying instead for free and confidential support. Visit gamblinghelponline.org.au.

You'd deck yourself out for winter, though, couldn't you? Beautiful. Mate, there's some great stuff. Some of those hoodies. I love a hoodie. Do you like hoodies? I love a hoodie. Gal, you a hoodie man? Yep. I love hoodies. Yeah, they do. Keep your head warm.

Actually, the 2GB one's not too bad. That's made by Lowe's. Yeah, they're pretty good. Not too bad like that coffee at Levy's. Daryl, I know there's a message here from Greg. Hi, lads. I saw your boss sneeze on the news last night. Thick-looking bloke. How's the negotiations, big man? Well, Greg, I hope they're going okay off the back of comments like...

You know what's good about hoodies? They keep your head warm. Sometimes the simple things that make a big difference. Right, OK, fair enough. Thank you very much. I might get one for Sneezo.

at Seabass Super Stadium. Your man, Khan Pereira, scores four tries and the Gold Coast thumped the Warriors by 66 points to six. You wouldn't believe it. Where's Kenny Callender when we need him? In memory of the great Terry Hill as well. Yes. Wouldn't he what? 66 to six. Gold Coast over the Warriors. That match at Seabass Super Stadium on the Gold Coast. Still to come, Roosters, Bulldogs. You'll hear that one with Matty and then Chris tonight.

for the Rabbitohs and the Sea Eagles, all those games here on the Continuous Call team. Now, I had an email that came through a little earlier from a gentleman who was referencing yodelling. And I don't know why and how it came about, but he was referencing yodelling. And he said, boys, I was listening to something and I heard a yodeller. Do you remember the day that somebody rang the Continuous Call team yodelling? Well, I've dug into the system and I've dug up

this Jason for you we have got a yodeler I was wondering if he went as good as the Mick Cronin hour Jason can you yodel yes Daryl how are you going I'm good mate

Take it away? Yeah, well, what song is it, mate? I just need to know prior to it. What song is that? He's going to yodel. Yodeling, you idiot. You yodel to a tune, don't you? Is it a song or is it just a yodel? Look, it's just something I've just penned just recently since it's been discussed in the Yodel, and it's one I'm going to dedicate to you. Okay, I'm ready to go. He's written this in the last 12 minutes. Ray, get your finger on the butt just in case. Something like this. Okay.

My name is Big Man. I come from Finland. That's very good.

That's enough. That's good. That's enough. Okay, Ray's gone there. Look, Amanda out in the switch, make sure you get this bloke's name and number because he's in line. Send him a prize. A wonderful prize. No, he's going to get a prize. A bag. If we get a better yodeler than you, Jason, I'll be very, very surprised. I said there's more. Oh, there'll be more people. Have you got more stuff? Well, I'll give it another crack. Okay, have another go.

My name is Big Man. I'm from Finland, not from Switzerland. Good luck, good luck, good luck. He's good. He's good. No, Jason. He's at a barbecue somewhere. You're an idiot, mate. I love him. Good work, Jason. Well done, mate. You're very good. You hold on there, mate. You hold on there. We'll get something out to you. Thanks for your call. Let's go to a break.

Let's do something. Okay, keep yodelling. Let's keep yodelling, Jason. You're still there. Again. Jason. What? Ray. Bowen, when I say go to a break, go to a break. Oh, okay. No, not you, Jason. You're going good. What's happening here? This is work experience radio. What is it? Jason, can I just ask you a question? Where did you get the ability to yodel from?

Mate, it's just been something I've been working on. I don't know where it comes from. But, yeah, I just thought I'd give it a crack anyway. So you never get anywhere unless you give it a crack. There you go. Oh, beautiful stuff. How many beers are you going to get? I'm not sure. He's a good yodeler. Mate, I think we've had a number of yodelers call in over the years. Yodel, yodel, yodel. He was pretty close to the best, but he was entertaining. His little rhyme as well with Big Mons. When was that? My name is Big Mons.

Not from Switzerland. From Finland. Not from Switzerland. Good stuff, Jason. It's a very difficult thing to do, yodelling. You just yodelled then. I don't think it is that difficult.

Yeah, that's all right. But when you yodel, gal, you're actually singing the song. I think her name's Schneider, isn't it? The famous Australian yodeler. Melinda? Melinda Schneider. Is it actually a type of singing? Have you never heard yodeling before? I heard yodeling, yodeling, yodeling. I thought that was yodeling. I've never heard an actual song sung like that. I think it would be a form of singing, wouldn't it, yodeling? I would assume so. Because it comes from your throat. Mary Schneider, I think, is the... Is it Mary? Mary.

Her daughter is Melinda. Here we go. I'll find some... Yodelling song. I think yodelling is singing. I've gone to the trusty old YouTube, gals, so I can play you a little bit of a very famous Australian, Mary Schneider, yodelling overtures. Ladies and gentlemen, here we are. You're going to have a go after this, gals. No, I'm not. Yes, you are. Give him a go. Cue Mary Schneider. Hit it. Oh, oh.

I'm just thinking, my name is Big Man. I come from Switzerland. Righto, gal, your turn. Go on. I'll beat you, puby. I can't get it. You know the way, you know the way.

That's pretty good. I'm from Big Man. I'm from Switzerland. I'm from Big Man. I'm the Big Man. That's not bad. I can't get the high pitch. Have you lost your ability to get the high pitch? No, I can't. Stand up. Let me just grab you. I can't. I might help you a bit. Try and grab me.

Can you get the high pitch? I can't get it. You can do it. That's not bad, Lee. I haven't dropped yet. It takes a lot for your team to make it to the top of the ladder.

Apparently, it's a problem with their system up there, so they're actually charging $7, $8 for a pie,

But what's happened is in the system it's been saved as a $15 pie. So that's been rectified. So I'm glad we got onto the case and checked it out because otherwise people would be going along tonight and getting charged $15 for a meat pie. You see, that's the service we offer here on the Continuous Call team. Thank you to Daniel for letting us know. I'll catch you tomorrow. Matt Thompson in after the news.
