The Continuous Call Team – Full Show Saturday 29th June 2024
02:38:57 Share

Now, live, right across Australia, the continuous call team. Down the touchline, they go through Howard. He's over the 40, he's to the 30. He's only got the fullback to boot. Fullback on the inside. Now it's with Pappy! And Howard's in school!

Ladies and gentlemen, one of the benefits of working in the McDonald's Interactive Studio is we have access to all of the cameras from the nine studios. But I do want to tip my hat to Stan and the nine studios. Believe it or not, Stan actually works on Stan and nine studios.

He's on camera number two today and he zoomed in for me on Paul Gallen's head. And it's been brought to our attention that his hair is quite dark tonight. I've texted him and I've said, we are looking at you on TV, darker hair have you put a colour through? To which he's responded with one of the great smothers, no, no, no. He's definitely put a rinse or he's got boot polish in. Boot polish. Live sport and laughter right across your weekend.

I feel the need, Piggy and Daryl, to apologise to the former New South Wales captain, Paul Gowman. OK, thanks. But he's come in today and I can see the grey. So, Gal, I'm going to apologise to you. Maybe it was the cameras or the makeup or something. No, I put another mention for last night to make it go backwards. Seriously. I told you last night I hadn't done it. OK, fair enough.

Happy birthday, big man. Thank you very much. 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? Oh!

Big Mark. Righto, we're off again. We're off again. The Continuous Call team, thanks to Macca's, Harvey Norman, First Choice Liquor, Ram Trucks, Westback, Uber, Castrol, Ducks Hot Water, Brydon's Lawyers, Lowe's, Karcher and 1-800-GOT-JUNK. Heard an ad today saying that if the cattle, if they're happier, they taste better.

Do you think that's true? I do. I reckon that they taste better. 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. Your muscles are the meat. That's what we eat. So they tense up. You know they have masseuses. It's true, this. They have cow masseuses that go in and massage. For the wagyu. When the cow gets a massage, does it go and lay on its back on the cow?

Does it have to wear its undies? It's like chickens. And now on 2GB Sydney, 4BC Brisbane and network stations across Australia.

It's time for the Continuous Call Team. Yes, a massive week for Rugby League origin footy and an NRL Golden Point thriller. Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome along to a Saturday afternoon with the Continuous Call Team as we broadcast from the McDonald's Interactive Studio. The band has already begun between the Big Man and the G-String.

after New South Wales levelled the State of Origin series on Wednesday night in front of 90,000 people at the MCG. It was all over at halftime and the Blues skipped out to that 34-0 lead. Josh Morris declared last night it's the best first half of footy he's ever seen from a New South Wales team.

but they've been in this position before, needing to beat Queensland at Suncorp Stadium in a decider, which has only happened twice before. The Maroons aren't panicking, though, with Billy Slater questioned about potential changes. The response was, we're Queenslanders. In other words, we pick and stick.

It sets up a mouth-watering clash in Brisbane on July 17. Meantime, the Queenslanders, they lifted the origin shield on Thursday night in the first three-game women's series decider. Look, it was a scrappy game up in Townsville, plenty of errors and penalties in the wet conditions, but the Maroons were victorious in the end. The crowd numbers and the television ratings have been phenomenal throughout the women's origin series. And then the footy continued last night with an absolute cracker at a core stadium where Matt Burton kicked

the match-winning field goal in extra time. It was his third attempt, and it set the Canterbury Bulldogs fans into an absolute frenzy in front of our commentary box. It's tackle number five. What are they going to do with it here? They're shaping up for the field goal. It's with Matt Burden. It's got uprights. He's out. Well, this is unbowed. What a script. Never written it any better. Bulldogs have won in golden point extra time. It's Cameride. They've won the game 15-4.

Yeah, it was a great night out there, but a tough one for the Sharks. And three games today. Warriors, Brisbane. Matt Thompson will be along to call Newcastle and Parramatta. That's followed by the game you'll hear with Chris Warren as Melbourne tackles Canberra. As always, we'd love to hear from you. 131873, the number.

three. The continuous call team is here. Alana Ferguson, Darrell Broman and Paul Gallen and Big Man. We were down there in Melbourne at the MCG on Wednesday night. We've got a decider to look forward to in a couple of weeks' time. Bring it on at Suncorp Stadium. You're right, Levi. Personally, I wish it wasn't a decider, but gee, they were very good, the New South Wales side on Wednesday night. We've had a

plethora of football already, haven't we? We had Wednesday night the men's state of origin, Thursday night the ladies' origin, and then last night the dogs and the sharks, and we've still got...

Five or six games to go, so it's going to be a fantastic weekend of football. But let's talk about the origin. Congratulations to the Blues. They were outstanding. I probably nearly got to agree with Josh. I can't remember a more dominant half of football. I know there's plenty of times where Queensland have copped a hammering from the Blues and same the other way. But I can't really recall a more dominant half of football than the first half from the Blues. I think they completed 21 of 22 sets.

And Queensland, I think 70% of the ball or something like that. You know, and that's always going to make it difficult for the defending side because they're just exhausted, particularly in origin. It's a faster paced game and, you know, it's an intense game. But the Blues were phenomenal. And I think it's fair to say they did probably take their foot off the pedal a little bit in the second half. Queensland, well, they won the second half, but that's little...

little consequence. Look, it was a fantastic performance from the Blues and congratulations to them. On the other hand, I did watch the ladies game on the Thursday night and I thought it was a most disappointing game even though Queensland won. The conditions weren't great but it was just, it was really sloppy. Mm-hmm.

And the game itself wasn't great. And last night, I did watch most of the game. They had their chances, the Sharks. Again, they've now lost, what, four out of five, Gal? Is it four out of five? They've lost now after a great start to the season. They're starting...

It's just starting to look to me as they're just going to keep losing the 50-50 games. They've lost a couple of games they could have easily won. And last night they didn't. But congratulations to the Dogs. That's a big win for them. You indicated, Daryl, on Wednesday you might call in sick today knowing that you're going to have to deal with a bloke alongside you who was gloating immediately at full time in our text group. They're entitled to. Throwing things at the commentary box and everything else. Paul Gallen, afternoon to you. G'day, Mark. A good call last night. I was very passionate. I thought you'd done a good job, mate. Well done. When did you listen to it?

Just then. I thought it was pretty good, actually. I thought it was really good. Mate, he's a very good call. Done great. I thought it was awesome. Yeah, look, Wednesday, I had my go at the big man on Wednesday night, but that's all over now. Look, they've got to win game three, and I know...

how hard he's doing up there. They're a different beast up there. They play well. They love their fans. They play great for their fans every time they're up there. So it's going to be a tough game. But I honestly believe New South Wales can go into it very, very confidently. You've got to remember, down to 12 men after seven minutes in game one. 20 points to 10 the second half. They're on top. They scored.

Queensland have got to improve. I'm telling you, they just can't go up there thinking, oh, we're going to win because it's in Britain. Because at home, yeah. They've got a bit of work to do, Queensland. And, you know, we know the sides will probably be different given the fact there's, you know, games to be played this weekend. But you are Queensland. Well, they are Queensland. So they'll fight back. I'll say this to you for this, though, and those guys are like...

Billy is the most prepared person I've ever seen in rugby league. I've never seen a player prepare like it and know everything about the opposition. I just feel that at that moment, he didn't have time to prepare. It was just sort of off the cuff and people just asked him questions. He probably would have been a bit of a grudger from the game. That's what I'm saying. And you've got to remember, that moment is 10, 15 minutes after the full-time siren's gone. And let's be honest.

The media want that to happen. They want them to lose their mind, say something stupid or say something we don't agree with, and then we just hammer them for the next three or four days, which is basically what's happened. It was a bit weird for me. But I'm sure Billy will have that side as well prepared as they possibly can be. Game three, and as I said, the Blues should be confident going into it. They can get the job done up there. On the women's game, I've spoken, I've said this before. I remember Millie Ball saying it one day with me.

I thought that was a perfect example why the women should have a different size ball. I don't know if the mod ball is too small or whether they've got to design their own size ball. They are designing their own. Well, there we go. That was a perfect example of why they need their own ball. The men's ball is just too big. Women are not men. Their hands aren't the same size. They're just physically built differently. And I thought that was a great example of why when it gets a bit slippery, gets a bit wet, they need their own size ball that suits the women.

And hopefully that happens. As Alain just said, I didn't know that worked. So you're saying women like smaller balls. Is that what you're saying? I'm saying the ball they play with should be a little bit smaller than the men's ball. I think the way they hold the ball is different. Their hands are naturally smaller a lot of the time. I think it should be a smaller ball. And the Sharks last night, mate.

What about them? What are you thinking? Well, look, one of the last five games, not ideal for the Sharks, but look, they set up their season well by winning, I think, nine of their first 10 games, something like that. So they set their season up well. So to have a bit of a form, something they'd rather be having now than the back end of the year. They've just got to build, get back on the horse, train hard and get back to winning games. Now, I think there's a couple of decisions last night I thought were ridiculous. For starters, the captain's challenge, I can't get over it. I can't get over the fact that the...

What is the bunker block scene? What is he looking at? What one are you talking about? The Sharks captain's challenge where Renato Militolo runs through, knocks the ball back and down. Yeah, I agree with you. Back and down. The ball bounces back and up because it hit Skelton's hand. It bounced straight up in the air. What's he looking at? I can cop the referee on the field making errors because they're in the heat of the moment. The game goes so fast.

But when it stopped and slowed down, the bloke's got 25 screens in front of him and a multi-million dollar complex. They can't get that right. Like, come on.

So the referees are to blame for the Sharks getting booed? No, I never once said that. Never once said that. Never once. I just can't get over that decision in particular. There's a couple of other ones, but I'm not going to go into more blame. There's no way that cost the Sharks game, but I'm saying it was a big ball. The Sharks had their chances and the Bulldogs came out on top. I never took that away from anyone, Mark. Stop putting words in my mouth, please. I'm not putting them in your mouth. I'm just sticking up

for the Bulldogs in their performance last night. Oh, that's good coming from you. Fergo is here, ladies and gentlemen. Alana, good afternoon to you. Look, firstly, Wednesday night, you were down at the MCG. Great crowd, 90,000 people. And then to Townsville on Thursday with a... I know it's hard to say the Queenslanders...

won the Origin Series for the women, which was disappointing for us New South Wales supporters. It was. It was a bit of a contrast. It was cold in Melbourne, but the vibes were high. I thought the Blues were bloody outstanding. I'm looking forward to speaking to Madge soon. I think we've got him on the show pretty soon. But yeah, look, I thought they were phenomenal. Mitch Moses blew me away. I thought he freed up Luai Crichton. That left edge was outstanding. But yeah, they just took...

All the control out of Queensland's hands and it was pretty to watch. Loved it. Then we went north to Townsville and it was a pretty poor game of rugby league, to be honest, which I hate to admit it because I think the women's game's in a really strong place at the moment. I thought the first Origin game was outstanding. Game two were even worse conditions than Townsville. The rain was awful.

bucketing down in Newcastle but it wasn't that poor of a game of footy there weren't you wouldn't see more we didn't see more errors in that game than you would in an elite NRL game they actually handled the conditions much better in Newcastle and then we went to Townsville and to Queensland's credit they they were unbelievable they were out of the blocks fast they they were really slow and they missed the jump game one and two and they got that right

I thought their energy levels were up right throughout the game, their intensity, their line speed, and they played off the back of it a little bit. But, yeah, New South Wales, to me, they look like they were lacking control and direction. I think they've really probably got to look at their halves in particular. I didn't see them pick that up anywhere. But even just their line speed from the second set of six, they were –

Had no kind of, nowhere near as much intensity as they did in the first two games. So they were really well and truly on the back foot. We saw errors. They couldn't build pressure and it was downhill from then. So disappointing. But look, there was still a lot of positives to come out of that series. They created history. First ever three game series for the women. And Queensland well and truly deserved to win it. So congrats to Queensland. They got the first one. On the footy, what Gal was talking about before, I reckon I brought this up five or six years ago.

We had a breakfast actually and it was with Volandes and Abdo and I brought it up. I said, we've got to do something here and I'm pretty sure it was Andrew Abdo who said, oh, thanks for raising that. I hadn't even thought about it and I think that's one of the main things in the women's game is that we can make these slight changes and it's fine that no one's thought about it but when they do come up, we've got to act on it. So actually at the moment,

Freddie, because he works at the NRL now, he's actually working with Steedon and the NRL and they're creating a ball that's about a four and a half size. So in between a mod and an official NRL size footy and they're just working on it and they're going to put it through a heap of testing because it is, it'll completely change the game. It'll change the entertainment factor. You see the wingers in the men's game score unbelievable tries or flip passes because they can hold the footy in one hand while

Just look at the size of women's hands compared to men. It's completely different. I think it'll also change the kicking game. It'll be slightly lighter. Not so light that obviously it's like kicking a balloon. You don't have to be ridiculous about the kicking game not being good. It'll certainly improve and then passing too. So yeah, I think there's only positives to come out of it. But yeah, they're going through those processes at the moment.

Sharks, Bulldogs, I don't know about you guys. I know that you thought it was a good close game, but I thought it was pretty boring. I thought the Sharks were disappointing. That's the style of footy that the Bulldogs play, and it worked for them again. But the Sharks, they play their best footy for me when they spread it a little bit out of their own half. They create some space in the opposition, and then they attack them. I thought Siva had a really good game. That was his 100th NRL game.

But, yeah, they just look far too conservative, tried to play the Bulldogs way, and it didn't work for them in the end. I'm just delighted for the Bulldogs and the resurgence that can continue. Yeah, I'm with you. I'm with you. Because, you know, like there's been a lot of doom and gloom around the Bulldogs. If you read certain sections of the media and what they say, and, you know, Phil Gould this and Cameron Serraldo this, well, you know what? Now they're starting to get the results, and they deserve some credit for what they've been able to do. And, you know, that old dogs of war mentality that we keep hearing about from the Bulldogs, we're starting to see...

On a football field, Daryl. And for that, for the Bulldogs fans, the long-suffering supporters, you can say to yourself, you know what? We've got a team that can mix it with some of the competition heavyweights. You know what? They've done exceptionally well. I mean, they've had a tough period, haven't they? Let's say last 10, 15 years, whatever it is.

The purchase of Stephen Crichton, I don't think, can be underestimated. His influence on that team is quite enormous. And I think his influence on the Blues team is quite enormous as well. I mean, he's turned into one of the great leaders in our game, without any doubt. You know, he's there and he can talk the talk, but he can walk the walk as well. You know, and I just think his influence on the Dogs has been incredible. They tell me, you know, on and off the field, he's just a leader of men. And they're all following him at the moment. They're playing some great football.

Really good football. They weren't so good last week against the Roosters, but they were good last night. They've won four of their last five. It was just that last week's game. Well, they're running fifth, I think, now in the competition. It's a great turnaround. They're positioning themselves for a crack at some finals footy as well. Just quickly, Gal, you've had the... Well, you've been scared, put it that way. I was trying to think of something else to say there. What are you scared of? You've been scared by a stuffed pigeon.

Gal the pigeon scared him. What did you do? Who was responsible this year? I've walked in, I had my jumper on the ground and I just went to move my stuff and there's a dead bird or not dead, it's a fake pigeon stuffed and it scared the life out of me. Are you scared of birds in general when they're in your vicinity? No, but I'm...

I don't like insects. You're just a big silk. Yeah, I am. I'm soft. The birds aren't insects. Well, I just get scared of things that scare me. Oh, I get scared easily. There you go. Is that the best way to put it? Yeah, I get scared easily. You did jump. I'll tell you. He was in the back.

I'm going to have a heart attack one day because as soon as I scare me, I went straight to the corner and I felt something right there. Final flight. I felt something there. By the way, speaking of birds. If I had died, you would have been responsible. What about the amount of seagulls at the MCG on Wednesday night? Seagulls are taking over Melbourne. They're everywhere. They're in the other... What's the other state? Amy. They're in Amy. Everywhere. 131873, the number now. We've got a serious situation unfolding out at Moorbank at the moment by the looks of things. Darren's phoned through with more details. Hello, Darren.

Buddy. What have you got for me, mate? Oh, at about 4.15, a truck and dog was flying through the lights there. He's gone pretty fast. They must have had a medical episode. He's gone through the intersection. He's taken out about five cars. There's multiple persons injured. And the vehicle's been swerved across the road, gone through the fence of the church, St Joseph's Catholic Church, and he's ploughed into the side of the church building, it appears, from what I saw as I was going past.

There's five brigade in attendance at the moment, multiple police cars, and the roads are now being blocked at either end with the police. All right, so that's around the St Joseph's Catholic Church at Moorbank, you said there, Darren. Is that right?

New Orra Road and, yeah, New Bridge Road. New Orra Road and New Bridge Road. All right, mate, well, we'll get our newsroom onto the case. Thank you for the heads up. And as Darren has said, they're closing the roads in and around that area. It's taken out five cars. We'll stand by for some more news from police and paramedics. But if you're in and around that Moorbank area, please steer clear of the St Joseph's Catholic Church. A car has crashed into a church. It's taken out five cars.

ploughing through an intersection as well. So we'll stand by for some more news on that. 25 past one, you're with the Continuous Call team. We'll take a quick break. We'll continue our Origin theme after this. We'll be joined by the New South Wales coach, Michael Maguire.

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

Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance. Consider the fund's PDS and whether the product is right for you. Yeah, plenty of people tuning in and sending through their feedback on the back of State of Origin congratulating New South Wales. The coach Michael McGuire to join us very, very shortly. Leave Paul alone. I'm terrified of

pigeons. They're disgusting flying rats, says Sandra. Well, you're not only scared of pigeons, Gal. You're scared of anything that moves, aren't you? You're petrified of spiders. I don't like spiders. I don't like cockroaches. I don't really like insects. I get scared. I hate snakes. Do you jump if you see a cockroach at home? Well, I don't kill them. My wife kills them. You don't do much at home. We've been over this.

Don't get me started on that. Poor Annie. She's even got to kill the cockroaches for you. Has Annie rung you this week, maybe? No, I haven't had a message from Annie this week. It's unbelievable. She seems to ring you quite a lot. Are you worried about that, Paul? Uh, no. You're not? No.

I was going to... Why are you laughing? I'm not laughing at you. You're thinking of something. I was thinking of something rude, but I won't say it. Don't say it. Listen, all I do is just get intel on Paul that I can raise on the show. I'm like her marriage counsellor, right? I'm actually a bit off. No, you're Paul's husband. She's got a marriage counsellor. Yeah, no, I'm like a marriage counsellor. So when Paul does something that annoys her, she sends it to me to raise on this show to give him a hard time, and that way she feels like she's been vindicated... Yeah, this is true. ...of the treatment during the week. But what the treatment during the week... I...

She gets everything she wants. Stop carrying on. She also does everything during the week. Raising four beautiful kids. From the moment I get up in the morning, my sole purpose is to provide for my family. And you do a really brilliant job at that. Exactly right. Gail, did you or did you not make your first ever cup of tea at the footy last night?

I did. Well, you don't do everything. I don't drink tea. I never drink tea at home ever. The only time I drink tea is when it's given to me at the football. Brilliant, Fergo. Brilliant. Stop it, mate. I've got a teabag out and I went to the coffee machine. I said to Jenica, where's this thing go? She goes, in there. And I'm trying to open it. She got me good. So you thought a teabag goes in the coffee. Mate, I've never made a cup of tea, right? I've made a coffee out of those machines. Have you ever seen anybody make a cup of tea? No, I don't drink tea. He just puts his hand out and says, thank you.

After working all day, don't you start. Don't you start on me. I would love that. Let's have this discussion. I want to have this discussion. Which one? You thinking I do nothing.

I don't think you contribute around the house. Oh, my God. I contribute all day, every day. Never stops. Never stop. Listen, if this was put to a jury, you'd be convicted of all offences. No, I wouldn't. And the jury wouldn't have even have to retire to consider their verdict. Get my wife online and ask her how much I provide for her. I'm not going to have your bullier on the air. I'll go outside. You can talk to her.

No, 131873, the number. I'll do one better. I'll bring in the New South Wales Origin coach, Michael Maguire, who's a good, decent man. And he did the state proud on Wednesday night. I was lucky enough to see him at the airport on the way home from Melbourne. And he had a smile from ear to ear. But he did say the job's not done yet. Michael Maguire, the Blues coach, is on the line. G'day, Madge. G'day, Mark. How are you, guys? Mate, very well. How have you pulled up? It's been a big campaign, big few days. And have you had a chance to reflect on what the Blues were able to do on Wednesday night?

Yeah, I've obviously gone through the game being a coach and had a look at things that we want to move towards. But I'm really pleased for the situation we've put ourselves in now. Obviously, after the first game, you have your disappointment and everyone keeps telling you that's a hard assignment to do. But, you know, obviously, the playing group definitely thought different. And, you know, we went down to Melbourne and got our game on and obviously looking forward to taking that up to Brisbane. Madge, I thought your boys...

Well, they bullied the Queenslanders, I thought, at times. They just stood over them and were physically stronger than them in many areas. I thought Angus Crichton in the back row in particular was outstanding. Of course, you had Latrell in the centres, Stephen Crichton as well. You just looked like you were just going to dominate them right from the start, plus the fact you'd competed, I think, at 21 of 22 in the first half. It's a fair advantage. Yeah.

Yeah, Darrell, I guess we're still finding our game. Albeit we got a really good start in that first half because they're looking at how coaches, how we're trying to put our thoughts into the game but also to use the quality of the players we've got. So it was good to get the start. We had a lot of quality ball, so the boys capitalised on that.

which we planned and trained. And so it's nice to see, you know, what you put on the training field comes out in the game. And that definitely shone in that first half. And obviously moving into the second half, you know, we wobbled a little bit, I suppose, just in various areas. And you give the opportunity to the Queenslanders to jump. So we've got to be aware of that.

Madge, I know Mitch Ramos was man of the match. I'm not saying he didn't deserve it. But when you have a look at the start and what Darrell Bowman just spoke about, the Queenslanders could not control the Blues. And they couldn't control their middle. Payne Haas, Cam Murray, Angus Crichton, as you said, they were just too powerful for them. And that's the reason you were so dominant.

Yeah, I agree, Gal. I mean, everyone sort of talks about Payne and how he's playing in the Origin Arena and I thought it was one of his best games, along with all those players that you spoke about. Mitch gets obviously the reward of player's player and man of the match, but that's off the back of a strong forward pack and it's something there that we spoke about, I guess, leading into the game and it was nice to see the big fellas look after the middle of the path for us.

Hey Madge, firstly, congratulations. I didn't get to see you after the game. How bloody good. But we were actually just chatting before about the Sharks and the Bulldogs game. We were talking about Stephen Crichton and the leadership that he has in the Bulldogs. How much of that transfers over and what have you experienced in the origin, in the squads, but also in camp, in the game, in the lead up?

Yeah, Stephen's a quality human. I must admit, Alana, all of them are. I really thoroughly enjoyed coaching the group because it's just coaching. I don't have to worry about all the external stuff that goes on in club land. So to be able to just coach the players and just talk to them about how they're feeling and what they're doing and learn about them or their characters, I've got a lot of strong leaders.

They're really strong people. So to be able to do that at training and then transfer into the games, it's been really enjoyable to see how it's sort of growing. And as I said, we've got plenty more to get to where we want to get to, which is exciting. There's improvement in us. Madge, we know, and all the talk has been about how hard it will be up in Queensland, and I've been there and experienced before. It is. They do, for some reason, turn up there. But you've got to be...

really confident going into this game. I mean, game one, down to 12 men for 73 minutes and at 20 to 10 the second half, probably a little bit on top. You've gone and dominated game two. You've got to be confident. Yeah, Gal, I mean, you definitely give respect to who you're playing, but it's something there that we're trying to build internally. You know, I think we've got a lot of confidence out of, you know, what we did in that game.

in that first half. And, you know, that's something there where we found how we want to play. But now it's maintained on that for long periods of time because, you know, you go up into a different environment. But at the end of the day, you still run around on the field, you know, and you've just got to make sure that you get into the headspace to go out and do your best job. And, you know, that's something there that we'll work towards. Mate, you just said you've got a lot of leaders there and you have got a lot of leaders there. But your captain's Jake Turbo. Now, I was critical of your use of him in Game 1.

on the back that I think only played 29, maybe 30 minutes or so. And when you're a man down, I would have thought you would have needed your captain on the field. How do you respond to that? Because I'm sure you've probably heard about the criticism.

Yeah, I cop a lot, Darrell. You're in that arena. And one thing I have learned, everyone's got an opinion, but you've also got to understand the makings of what your bench does and how you roll your bench. We were able to control that first half, so you tend not to use all your subs because you just never know whether or not you may have to face something later in the game. So,

And, you know, that first game, you know, Jakey got caught on the sideline there just because of the circumstances of who had to roll on and roll off. And this game, he did his job to start. And then the way the game rolled, it was just his turn to come on at the end and take us home. So, you know, we have got the leaders across the park and albeit that, you know, Jakey's our captain. And that's what he does away from the actual field as well, which is really important. Like, you know, what he's representing, he's representing New South Wales. And you couldn't meet a more positive bloke

in Jake and the way he carries himself around the camp and how his love is for the players. So, you know, sometimes they might get all the game time they like, but at the end of the day, when you're playing for the Blues and whatever time you do get, you cherish. Mate, can I give Bram and my answer to that one? Yeah, mate, go for it. You go out and win game two the way they want it. That's what you do. You go out and win game two the way you want it.

I don't know if that answers my question. Well, it does. You asked Madge what Madge thought of it. I just said to him he had a lot of leaders in that side, but he didn't use his captain for very long in game one. Madge is big enough and strong enough to fight his own battles. I'm just here to stick up for him, mate.

Hey, Natch, big occasion. He finally got to put on the Blues jersey, Dylan Edwards. What a debut, hey? Oh, it was. He's a great player, great person. But, you know, the way he played and the amount of work that he does, we've seen that for such a long period of time and we've been fortunate, I guess, in New South Wales that we've had a great fullback in Teddy. But Dylan's shown that consistently with his grand final wins and his patience consistently.

and he went out and showed that he's an origin player, and he's going to be a great origin player moving forward. All right, Madge, congratulations. You know that I've been a big supporter of yours, and that will remain. You're a great coach. You've won every piece of silverware there is in rugby league, and I hope for your sake and for the state of New South Wales that you can do it again in Brisbane and lift that state of origin shield. Thanks for joining us, mate, and congratulations again on a wonderful night for the Blues.

Thanks, Drew. Appreciate it. Good on you, mate. There he is, Michael Maguire. A good, decent man and one of the most decent people I think I've met in rugby league. And congratulations to each and every one of the Blues. Now, many things in life are unpredictable, like if your team will make it to the finals this year. But there are some things you can count on. If you love going to the footy or concerts, you'll know the hassle or stress of rushing to get there on time.

Well, worry no more. You can keep your schedule with Uber Reserve. Listen to this. With Uber Reserve, you can reserve an Uber ride in advance, whether that's 30 minutes before full time, right up to 90 days before kickoff. And it's easy to use. Just enter 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. And if you're going to the footy this weekend, make sure you reserve your ride with Uber Reserve.

G'day, team. G-Train on fire early today is 100% correct. Ree, the balls. Women use smaller basketball, softball, shotputs, discus and javelin. And cricket. Thank you for that, Paul. Levy, can we please call Kleenex to sponsor G-String? That was one of the biggest cries I've heard about the captain's challenge. What about the challenge of the strip towards the end of Sam Hughes?

and the bunker said it was just making a tackle. How convenient of him not to mention that. Cry me a river, G-string. Nick's obviously a Bulldog supporter. And Willow writes, being off contract, it's a wise decision. Big Man hasn't called in sick today, Levy. Give, give, give is the Big Man's motto. Take note, Tom Malone from Willow. Willow's a big fan of mine. I like Willow. He sends me a bit of stuff here and there, and...

He always goes out to Penrith when we have our OBs out there, doesn't he, Levy? Yeah, he certainly does. He does send a lot of emails and stuff. He's a good man. He's a good man. Can I comment on my mate?

No, just playing. The reason I moved on is we don't want to antagonise you, but you've got to give the listeners a right of reply. I'm going to go easy today on you. I'm going to shake hands and we'll start afresh today. I'll shake your hand because I like you, but we're not going easy on each other. We'll see what happens. We're here to give an opinion. If my opinion doesn't agree with yours, it's life. What about you coming into the box on Wednesday and stirring the chairman?

The people's champion. Raymundo. He's staring Raymundo on Wednesday. It was funny. The funniest thing was when I walked in and he was talking about, I can't believe he didn't know what the punt road in Sydney was. You know what I realised? Right in front of us there was a sticker on the window and it said punt road left. And he

And all he kept saying there was how he was here back in 1958 and here back in 1960 and here back in 81. Don't start bagging him. And all these events he'd done. And he still didn't know where Park Road was. I was in the back absolutely in hysterics. I text Levy and Levy's like, look at her like this. I was laughing that hard and then got a chance to give it to him. It was gold. He's got spies everywhere. I think he likes you.

I think he likes you. I think he does. I get a bit scared sometimes because I think I just, you know what he's like. It's like here and a little bit too far. It's just like the tipping point is going to lose his mind. But what really excites me about this weekend is we've got two different tips. Oh, the tipping. Yeah, he's back the Knights. I've back power. He's back the Broncos. I've back the Warriors. They're the only two different.

No, he's one in front of me. So he is in front of you. So it's two different. So he's either going to skip three ahead or I'm going to get one in front. So I'm very excited. What if you share it? Well, I'll be equal. It's like the old days. Bozo was big into the tips, wasn't he? He studied them every week. But he didn't put them in until Saturday morning. I mean, it was just a rort. How are you going in the tipping competition, Virgo? I don't know. I'll have to have a look. Actually, I think you're sort of above upper middle, like up towards the top. Am I ahead of Gal?

You'd have to be. Take me silly. Me and the People's Champion. Our girl's got it on his phone already. I was looking at it this morning. Here it is. Come on, tell us. Where are you from? Alana Ferguson. Are you a second? You're going good. So am I ahead of you? Yeah, you are. Where are you running? I'm running. I'm fifth. You're one in front of me. Me? Clinton Maynard. So it goes Luke Grant, Alana Ferguson, Hadley, Clinton Maynard, Dale Bowman, then me. Oh, you're on fire. I thought Hadley was in front of you.

Did I not just say Luke Grant, Alana Ferguson, Hadley, Maynard, Broman, then Matt? Jeez, Ryan. Ryan John. What's your easy going, Gal? Ryan John Stanley only tipped one winner last weekend. They've had an absolute. Darryl, you only tipped two. Didn't you get my text? Didn't you get my text at the start of the week? No, I don't think I did. You were in the group text, me, you and Hadley. I said, who made you tip? And where are you running, by the way, Levy? Me? Where am I? I'm.

Middle of the pack, 71 points. The latest, 80 points, Luke Grant on fire. He's doing a good job, Luke. But by the way, when you send those antagonistic messages to Ray, why do you include me? I don't want to be involved in your game. Because he's too nervous. He's too nervous. I've worked with Ray a long, long time. I don't want to get involved in any drama. So drop off and leave me out of it. I'm just a circuit breaker. Well, I don't want to be your circuit breaker anymore. Okay, I'll throw you in the mix. Use Roman. I don't care anymore. I'm off contract.

Because you know what happens? You know what happens? When Ray rings me, he goes, what about that G-string idiot? And then, you know, he starts bagging you. And then you bag. I'm stuck in the middle here, Fergo. It's not fun. I don't bag him. I actually like him. I think he's pretty cool. But I am scared. Just take me through that. You think he's pretty cool? I am scared I'm going to go one step too far one day and he's going to lose his mind. No doubt about it.

He's a big dude. If he actually lost his mind, it's like you. If you actually lost it and got angry, you would be very, very hard to control. Which is exactly the reason why I've said to you this afternoon, Paul, because we're retired, can you please be on your best behaviour? Okay? I am on my best behaviour. No, I'm just saying, I'm just putting you on a warning. Why are you so upset?

shut up we're off to a break back with more news coming through from the manly seagulls tom trebojevich has completed his reconditioning work from a hamstring injury anthony seabold will name trebojevich at center on tuesday for manly's match against north queensland in townsville on saturday july 6th so tom trebojevich will be back on the field next week for the manly seagulls geez his body's caused him some grief over the years hasn't it darryl but

it'll be good to see Tommy Turbo back for Manly. I guess the question is, does he go straight into fullback? Do they play him in the centres? What's the coach going to do with it? I read a story about how they're going to try and manage him better than what they have managed him in the past. So I get the vibe he might be going to play in the centres. I think he's an outstanding fullback. That's his position. But unfortunately, he keeps breaking down. And whether, I don't know, playing in the centres

He may improve his situation with his hamstring. I don't know. There'll be smarter people than me know that. It's probably less running, Big Mark. You've got to remember the fullbacks probably run more Ks than anyone on the field along with the halfbacks. And they've got to do that not just game day. They've got to do it at least probably twice a week. Particularly if he stays on the same side of the field.

Which he would. As a centre? That's right, that's right. So he's definitely going to run a hole less metres. So look, maybe for the longevity of Turbo, it may be the best move because we want to see him in the game. It doesn't sound silly, does it? No, we want to see him in the game. He's such a star and he's so good. We hate seeing him injured. I just hope he's able to stay on the field. And his centre is...

where he's got to go to do that. Maybe it's the best thing for him. He played centre for New South Wales. Yeah, yeah, he did. But he did do a hamstring, remember, playing centre for New South Wales, I think. Yes, he did. In Adelaide, I think it was, wasn't it? Hopefully. That was before he went overseas and everything, hopefully. But let's hope he's got it right and he can start on the field. Afternoon, Levy. Big gallon furgo. This one from Phil. A big...

Congratulations to Big Man for his 100th origin match on Wednesday. It was an outstanding call and I'm prepared to say he lifted and produced his best ever call. Nothing beats a packed MCG. It's at its best when it's packed. Having lived in Melbourne, I experienced it many times. The pictures on Channel 9 look great as well. So thank you, Phil. I just love the MCG, the history that's attached to it when you walk through those corridors. What was the atmosphere like at

ground level on Wednesday night. It was pretty good. It was really cool. Look, I've got to be honest. It's nothing like playing up at Suncorp or even at ANZ in town or a core these days. It's just different because they're further away. It's just so big. But because it is like a coliseum and it is such a famous place, as you said, Levy, I think that's why we love it so much. But

but I played there in 2015, and I could not believe the difference from a core Suncorp to that, how much you can hear each other on the field. Particularly Suncorp, when you're up there, you cannot hear the bloke next to you. Well, you can hear the guy next to you. That's who you talk to. You communicate one at a time. But when you're out there in Melbourne, you can hear each other a whole lot easier, but the stadium and the atmosphere is unreal down there. It's insane to just...

like look around like when we were down there the boys were all running out and I was standing with Freddie at the time we just like did a full circle and just looked and took in how many people were there like it's a crazy amount of people they're not on top of you like Gal said at Suncorp so the noise isn't necessarily like in your face you can still hear yourself think but just the sheer amount of people is wild I don't know what you guys think about you know Origin being played in other parts of Australia but you know originally I was one of those people that was sort of oh you know it's

We don't want to lose that whole New South Wales, Queensland thing. But when you look at Melbourne, 90,000. When you look at Perth that had, what, 80,000. Adelaide, enormous crowd last year, Darrell. State of origin, wherever they take it, will be a success. And I don't mind them doing it every year. I think I've been a supporter of it right from the start, Mark. I think given the fact there's a three-game series, I think, you know, one in Sydney, one in Brisbane, and one elsewhere, I think it's a great idea. And I think it's

proven that way. I think it's great for the game. You get a chance to spread the word. Personally, I said it on Wednesday night, I'd be happy for one to be played in New Zealand. I think New Zealand at the moment, hopefully the Warriors can find a bit of form. And if they do find a bit of form, they might get some bit of momentum like they had last year. And rugby league, I

I believe, is taking off for New Zealand. And I think it'd be nothing better than having a game there. Well, it makes you want to turn the footy on for the rest of the weekend. It makes, like, I remember being a kid, being in the stands, watching the footy. Like, that's what made me want to play. So it's contagious. You can't watch, you can't beat an Origin game and not want more.

What about you, Gal? You on board or not? You prefer it in Sydney and Brisbane? No, I'm exactly like you, Mark. I remember back in the day when they started moving around, I was dead set against us. It's such a passionate thing for both the states, New South Wales and Queensland. But I agree that if we want to grow the game, if we want more money to come into the game, more money for the players, if we want more players, we're trying to get to 20 teams. I think we need to spread the word and

and show everybody how good our product is and that's why taking it to one of these states isn't the worst thing in the world. It works well doesn't it? Mark says hi gang loving the show well done Big Man for 100 origins really enjoying the inclusion of Fergo she's a great personality I used to detest Gal but he's not a bad fella all but three days a year just in the shed laughing along to the band at

Quality, Queensland certainly has gained 3 by 14 points. Good on you, Mark. Thanks for your company. And just recapping that news through from Manly, Tom Trebojevic will make his return next weekend. He will return in the centres, I'm being told, by Manly. He'll return in the centres for the Manly Seagulls next weekend.

Now, just a bit more information coming through from police in relation to the incident at Moorbank that Darren phoned through about earlier. Police are telling me it's understood a semi-trailer has crashed into a primary school on New Worra Road, which is next to that church which Darren referred to, Newbridge Road at Milperra. The driver is still in the truck and... Well, is it Milperra or Moorbank?

Bank team. Moorbank it's got at the top and then we've got Milpera in the second line. So can we clarify whether it's Moorbank or Milpera? The driver is still in the truck and conscious. At this stage it's believed there are no serious injuries. The school is closed given it's the weekend so there are no concerns there.

from that perspective. So it is Moorbank, I'm being told. New Orra Road and Newbridge Road at Moorbank. A semi-trailer's crashed into a primary school. Thankfully, it's not a school day for obvious reasons. 131873, the number, 2GB.com. Click onto the feedback icon if you would like to join us. Hello, team. Queensland has Magic Water.

Those score updates coming through from Go Media Stadium in Auckland. At 5.30, Matt Thompson will be along to broadcast Newcastle and Parramatta, that game from McDonald Jones Stadium in Newcastle. And then tonight, 7.35, this game at Amy Park in Melbourne.

So I was actually down at Southgate yesterday at Sylvania and caught up with Mark, the owner of Stapleton Quality Meat,

Quality Meats and he tells me that plenty of our listeners have been stopping by to say they've heard us talking about Stapleton's Quality Meats right here on the Continuous Call team. We've got a break for some news back with the next hour. 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.

With you on the weekend since 1987, you're listening to The Continuous Call Team. You certainly are. Welcome back next hour to The Continuous Call Team as we do it from the McDonald's Interactive Studio on this Saturday afternoon. Following on from State of Origin on Wednesday night, New South Wales sending the series to a decider in Queensland. And boy, Billy Slater, didn't he bristle at suggestions there needs to be some changes to the Queensland team. I haven't even thought of that. We're still Queenslanders.

In terms of Hammer's AC, do you think Billy will be right for Game 3 or how long could he miss? I wouldn't have a clue. He's done an AC, so I don't know. I don't have the answer for that. Billy, you said we're still Queenslanders. Can you elaborate on that? What do you mean? Well, we're from Queensland. Yes, mate, but you asked if you were going to make changes and you said we're still Queenslanders. Yeah, I said I haven't thought of that and I said we're still Queenslanders, so that's it. Does that mean we don't make changes?

I don't know. I haven't thought about it. So I honestly haven't thought about it. Yeah, go to press conferences. And then on Thursday night, Queensland... Virgo, stop holding up signs. Queensland on Thursday night claimed the Women's Origins Series in what was... Look, it was a dour affair. There was a lot of drop ball. There were a lot of penalties.

but well under the Maroons on winning the State of Origin Series. Last night, the Bulldogs got home in Golden Point, extra time to beat the Sharks, 15-14. And there's three games this afternoon. Kicking off with the Warriors in Brisbane. Team news is through. Mitch Barnett goes to prop. Kurt Capewell starts in the back row. Jackson Forge to the bench. Dylan Walker will start at lock. Tohu Harris to the bench.

And for the Broncos, Tyson Smoothie will start. Billy Walters to the bench. And Reece Walsh, Payne Haas and Pat Carrigan. They've stayed in Brisbane. They weren't named in the original 17. So I'll update the scores on that one as we take you around the grounds. Nine minutes past two. A good time to reserve your Uber ride for tonight's game. With Uber reserved, ride now, ride later.

with Uber Reserve. And look, we have been talking about this issue that's happened at Moorbank where a semi-trailer's crashed into a primary school and church on New Bridge Road, New Worra Road, near New Bridge Road. Police paramedics are on scene as we speak. The transport management team

Centre is telling me that Newbridge Road is closed in both directions at Chipping Norton due to a multi-vehicle crash. Light vehicles already in the area can use Brickmakers Drive, Maddox Avenue and Stockton Avenue. Heavy vehicles need to divert via Governor Macquarie Drive and the Hume Highway. Traffic is heavy, so motorists should allow plenty of extra travel time. So we're up to date with all of the information today.

131873, the number, 2GB.com, 4BC.com.au, and you can text us 0460 873 873. And while we've been in the news, we've been watching this New South Wales Cup game over in New Zealand. We've got the Warriors taking on the Raiders, and we've had three players sent from the field. Two of the Warriors have been given their marching orders for throwing punches, but it all started with Corey Horsburgh,

from the Canberra Raiders who had a little left-right combination on one of the opposing players. So you've got Corey Horsburgh being sent from the field, Jacob Laban and Tom Arley. So the Warriors and Canberra down troops. The Warriors have two players sent off and the Canberra Raiders have lost one player who's been sent from the field as well. So we're up to date with all of the information. Now, Tim, I wanted to ask you guys a question about...

Oh, no, they're always a good topic. There's a few topics in this. Well, Fergo, you do a lot of travel. Daryl, you do a lot of travel for your charity gigs and you too, Paul, for charity and also for footy responsibilities. And cash, exactly. Your thoughts on people putting their chair back mid-flight and secondly, what is it with people once you take off and you get to that cruising altitude and the captain turns off the seatbelt sign,

They think then is the right opportunity. Okay, well, we're going to go to the toilet given we've just left an airport. It's very, very frustrating when you're on the aisle, i.e. me. I did that on the weekend. As soon as the seatbelt's out, I had to go to the toilet. I had to go to the toilet. Did you go to the lounge before? I had to go to the toilet. When you've got to go, you've got to go. But can I tell you this, Mark? I've heard you whinge about this before in conversations we've had. And on the plane all this week, there and back,

All I wanted to do was put my seat back. I didn't put it back. I tried to sleep on the plane. Why do you need to put your seat back when it's an hour flight? Thank you, Virgo. It's an hour. Because I should have every right to. I've paid for the seat. Oh, that's my seat. Did you? Did you?

It's my seat on the plane. I have every right to put the seat back if I want. But you were in my head, Mark, and it killed me. Because when I'm on the plane, you know what? If you get 20 minutes sleep, that refreshes you. It refreshes you for the rest of the day. Oh, don't leave. He's had six hours of sleep and he's not refreshed. You had six, seven hours of sleep. No, no, no. I stayed awake right on the plane. I was fine. But I'm a big unit, right? And I'm quite tall. So my knees push into the seat.

In front of me. But what I do is I'll have my knees pointed, because I don't want to go straight up the middle, because you go straight into the person's back. So I've done the right thing. So on the way back the other day from Melbourne to Sydney, there was a young lady in front of me

So she's done the old stand up, turn around, look at me, not say anything. Sit down and then recline backwards knowing that my knees were wedged up underneath her. I was going to say, if you're going to do it, you need to be courteous and make sure the person behind you is petite. Normally you would snap.

Did you snap at this young lady? Oh, look, I was internally blowing up. So you didn't snap. If she asked you politely, what would your answer be? But this is what annoyed me. So she stood up, she turned around, she looked at me. If she had have said, look, I've had a really tough time and I just want to try and get some sleep. Do you mind if I put my chair back? I would say, yeah, no worries. Go for your life. I would have done the old side saddle and turned sideways just to make it more comfortable.

Instead, stares at me, turns around, sits down, reclines, Levy blowing up internally. It's unusual for you not to blow up externally. No, I'm a changed man, Darrell. I'm not blowing up anymore. I don't know if it is rude. You know what I believe, and I've said this numerous times.

I don't think you should be allowed to put seats back in place. Really? I think if you've got a seat, you sit up close. Well, not if it's an hour flight. You've paid for the seat. If you're going overseas and it's five plus hours, play on, I reckon. You've paid for the seat and everything in the seat, everything on the seat is yours. I don't know if I want to go overseas economy and have the person in front of me putting their seat back. Then I think that would...

You make you almost certainly put your seat back. Then everyone would have to put their seat back. So if everyone puts it back, there's no difference. It's fine. Well, it is with your knees. I think you've just got to be conscious of who's around you. You know what? The fact that she looked and then did it, that's rude. I actually think on planes sometimes, and I know there's options. You can buy premium economy and all that sort of stuff. If you're a bigger person, I think maybe, and I'm a bigger person and so are you, Levy, maybe we should pay a touch extra.

to get a better seat. I'll tell you what happens. We'll get the seat next year. Are you now suggesting there needs to be a fat tax on planes? Yes, I am. Really? I am. So you're saying you should have to buy two seats almost? No, not buy two seats. I'm saying maybe just get the premium economy for the bigger people only. And you have to put your weight in when you...

When you submit your flight. No, no. When you submit your way. But on the flight home or down, I had a bloke in front of me who was quite nice to me. But I don't know whether he moved the seat back or whether the seat was broken a bit, but it just bit by bit came back on. He did it. He did it. He's testing. Just pressing the button. But I didn't – for example, if I was getting a coffee or getting a snack or something, I couldn't have possibly put the –

But can you anyway? So on the way from Melbourne to Townsville, I had a...

Big Bertha next to me. Was this a woman or a man? It was a woman. Was there a drama? I think I've spoken about this before. One of my pet hates is people trying to chew your ear off in the plane. I'm not about it. So I have my AirPods in, the noise cancelling one. But anyway, and I'm happy to give my armrest. It's all good. I stayed stuck to my side. It was only two by two. Which is your armrest if you're in the middle, for example?

I tend to just leave the armrest. I'm like, the outside can have it. I'm going to have my body hanging out. So I'm quite polite. I'm happy to give it up. But she had not only the armrest, she had her left foot...

halfway in the middle of where my feet needed to go. Did you discuss this with her? No, I was very close to being like, sis, you've actually got to pull your head in here because this is too much. Because I'd already shuffled right over. I was hugging the window, but the foot. Planes are a little... See, I actually... Piggy put me onto this. On the flight home, I got...

I think, exit row, row four, I think it was. But you had to pay $35, I think it was, extra on top of the flight to get a more comfortable chair. It just gives you more leg room. Leg room, yeah. It's probably a little bit wider. It's saying that when I did sit down, I did feel as though I'd squished in solidly because the handrails weren't, you couldn't lift them up where I sat on this plane, on this particular plane. The exit rows, I don't think the exit rows recline.

And that's why I don't like the egg jokes. I don't necessarily need the extra leg. I think Fergo's come up with a great idea, Daryl. If you're going to bring in a fat tax on an aeroplane, you know when you're checking your bags and you weigh your bags? I'm calling for people weighers. I'm calling for a set of scales...

in the Qantas and the Virgin terminals, and you've got to stand on the... Are you serious? Well, mate, if you're the one who's pushing the fat tax, so if you want a fat tax, you've got to stand on a set of scales, and every kilo over an X amount, you've got to pay that sort of money. Well, wasn't one of the...

suggest that at some stage? The world's too precious. They're taking people's weight off. Isn't the AFL taking their weight off the website? The world's gone too precious. There's no way they're going to put your weight on your plane. There's no way. 100%. There's not a chance. This surprises me about you, Daryl. As a big unit like me, I'm surprised that you were going to penalise the fatties of Australia because you want to bring in the fat tax. To get a better seat.

But there's only a certain amount of seats. I'm not saying a fat tax. I'm not going to say put a fat tax in and still stick them in 67B. Not all fat people have enough money to pay the extra tax. That's exactly right. With all due respect, not all people have the money. Well, then tell them to suck it up. And I'll tell you what else, big man. The majority of the population is unfortunately overweight. A lot of people are obese. Majority. How many are obese? Well, we have...

So you're saying 51% are obese? Yes, I am. I am saying. Maybe more. I'm saying maybe more. Let's go to the video. Let's go to it. Let's find out exactly how many are fat. Don't say obese. Obese. Because you're using a word that people just move on from obesity. But once you say fat, that gets their shekels rising. What about this? What? Australian Institute of Health and Welfare...

Australia has the 10th highest rates of obesity in overweight people. You know what the stats are? 64%. There we go. 1% off. You're wrong. You and your mates lose some weight. What about you? What about blokes who just sit next to each other and annoy the crap out of you? That is you, my friend. What percentage of men are like that? Not many, but I do a very good job at it. Righto. Well, we can't all be former premiership winning captains, can we? Well, 64% of people...

You would be part of that 64. I'll bet you're classified as obese. I bet I am too. I actually know I am. I'm a fatty as well. I'm with you. Well, you're right. You know what's ridiculous? You're obese. What's that stupid calculator they do? Yeah, the BMI, body mass index. Mate, I've got a mate of mine who does triathlons. There's more fat on a chip. He's overweight according to the BMD thing. Stupid. Yeah, I agree. All right. Well, we're talking fat taxes. We're talking things that annoy you on aeroplanes. I've got another one. I just thought of another one. Yeah. What about the bloke behind you sitting in the middle who's got

bad BO and wants to put his arms and rest it on the seat so all I can sniff through the thing is his body odour. How do you fix that, bro? Disgusting. You know what I did? I turned around and said, champion, have a talk. Yeah, mate, you are an almost annoying person I've ever met. You bagged everyone from your bloke at your bloody butcher bakery, everything. You're bagging 65% of the population. Exactly.

I'm saying there should be a fat tax. You're trying to rip 65% of the population off. Oh, here's another one. What about this, Gibra? Jason, the rule of thumb should be if you need a seatbelt extender, you should not be on the plane. You should walk. Walk. You should walk. I have used a seatbelt extender. Have you ever, Levy? No, I haven't. I'm not at that point yet. I had to call for it on occasions. There's another point.

That must mean that the seatbelts aren't all the same size on planes. No. They can't be. Mate, you may be bloated that day. That was it. No.

I'll tell you, coming home on Thursday, I had to suck it right in to clip it on because I didn't want to ask for the seatbelt extender because everyone looks at you like you're an imbecile. All right, well, I'm going to take it a step further. Now that we know you need a seatbelt extender. Not every time. Anyone that needs a seatbelt extender has to pay the fat tax. There you go. That's not a bad point. That might be politically incorrect, but I'm saying it.

Well, I'm going to say this to you. If that's the case, I'm going to take you to court if you did that because you know why? As I just said, all seatbelts aren't made the same. Excuse me? Most of them are different lengths. You're the one that suggested a fat tax should be brought in. That's

different. So hang on. Let me get this straight. You're going to take me to court to sue me over something you want to bring in. No, because I'll tell you why. I told you, you're not listening. Open your ears up and listen for once, Levy. The seatbelts on the planes are of different lengths.

Rubbish. No, that's true. Oh, rubbish. It's true because some planes I can put it on. Sometimes I need an extender. Explain that to me. You plane it sometimes. We'll discuss this. Is it Qantas or Virgin? It's both of them. No, it's not. It's probably also Rex. It's probably also... What's another one? Jetstar. You probably didn't adjust it properly. Jetstar would definitely be shorter. You probably didn't adjust it. I probably didn't adjust the seatbelt. You probably didn't adjust it. 100%. You know what? You have said some stupid...

Do you know how to adjust it? Mate, I'll tell you something. There's two things I know how to do. Adjust a seatbelt and also make a cup of tea. Oh, don't wake me up. Which puts me one more ahead of you. All right. Look, let's get our listeners involved. 131873, the number you call through, you get to where you're a chance of winning the $200 meat tray voucher from Stapleton's Quality Meats. Are you on board with a fat tax?

What annoys you on aeroplanes? And do you think you've got a reason to stick up for yourself when you're on a plane, when you're either smelling BO, you've got some gibber in front of you putting their seat back? What are your thoughts? 131873, the number of Quick Break. Your calls come up next. Rob's taken my rant a bit too seriously. He says, Levy, I'd eat and drink as much as possible and chunder all over your head.

That might modify your future behaviour. Thank you, Rob. Hey, guys, it's the airline's fault with the seating. They're all running 737s. Get some wide-bodied planes. The 320s, the 330s on domestic routes from Steve at Corrila. I'd forgotten about that. Mark, you're 100% right about BO on planes. Fair dinkum, the X-ray machine should include a pressure washer for some. That one from Shane at Budrum. And hey, guys, Nudge here. Love the show. I was getting on a plane once and they wanted me to get on the scales and I asked why.

The lady replied, we need to know how much fuel to put in the plane. To which I said, how about you just fill the bloody thing up? 131873 is the number. Gil's at Maroubra. Hello, Gil. G'day, mate. How are you? Good, thank you, mate. How are you, Levy? Good, mate.

Good. Hey, listen, so I recently, I've done a couple of trips with Jetstar recently. They've got a seven kilo maximum on carry-on, right? So when I weighed in my bags, it came in at just over nine kilos. So I said to the guy, what am I supposed to do? And he said, you'll have to get rid of two kilos. So I went into the bathroom, I put on,

A pair of jeans, a track suit, a sloppy joe and four T-shirts. I came out looking like the Oompa Loompa and they still let me on the plane. I can't figure out the difference between wearing all the gear versus the carry-on. I'm with you. What a great call, mate. You're a chance of winning that meat tray voucher for Stapleton's Quality Meats.

131873, the number. There was a text message here that I seem to have lost, but it referenced all those people who crowd the baggage carousel. You know, when you race to get your bags and everyone stands around a certain point. Just take your time. Everything's going to come out. Why do people think they're more important or they're busier? You know what amazes me about...

And planes are a really good example of this. People who just don't have time for anything. As soon as a plane stops, everyone stands up. Oh, I guess straight up. But generally, they're pretty polite insofar as row one goes first, row two, blah, blah, blah. I don't understand why people won't...

book in their luggage onto the plane instead of carrying it on all the time. I know they've got the smaller bags and whatever, but on coming... For example, coming home the other day, I think from Melbourne, they actually asked the people with carry-on to actually book their luggage in because there wasn't enough room for all the carry-on on the plane. That's right. You're only supposed to have one piece. One piece of carry-on. A lot of people take two. I think they let you take two. Well, I thought it was only one. Well, they let you take one suitcase and you can take another bag. But you know why? It's because...

people think they don't have enough time. So as soon as they get off the plane with their carry on, if that's all the luggage they've got, they can just take off straight away. If they have to go down and wait for it to come around on the carousel, that might take another 10 minutes. See,

See, the people these days just don't have patience. What about snoring? I don't have patience for that. What about snoring? How do we get rid of snoring? Let me tell you a story. I don't want to throw the bloke under the bus. Go on. But I will. Who was it? Wade Graham on the way home from Las Vegas. He would be a punish. Me and Wade Graham had a great time in Las Vegas.

No wonder he was snoring. He's had to sleep for three days. He was sitting next to the girl. He got on the plane. As soon as the seatbelt sign went off, bang, straight back. And we were on the direct flight from Vegas to Sydney. He slept until the plane hit the ground. And holy, the snoring coming out of that kid's head. Holy crap.

Did you not wake him up? I didn't want to wake him up. He's a good young guy. I want to help him out and just let him have a... Believe me, we had a big weekend. I just thought of another thing. Do you wake him up or not? 100%. You hit as hard as you can until they wake up and tell them to change direction. What about when the plane lands and everyone's like... Most people are getting up in the early stages of getting up, right? The premature time of getting up.

someone from the back starts a sprint down the middle of the aisle. It's not okay. Just get up. Stand there. Do you ever do that, Gal? No, I don't. They start a stampede from the back. I could see you doing it. It's like on the roads when you merge. You're merging in traffic. It's the same on an aeroplane. One person goes in, the next person follows through. And there's the cheeky little bugger that tries to push you out of the aisle when you're going through and you just give him a dirty and then he says, okay, champion, I'm just going to back off. I've got another thing that annoys me. Yeah.

Safety demonstrations. I'm petrified of flying, right? Mm-hmm.

I don't want people talking during the safety demonstration. It's a very important part of the flight. What? You listen every time. Yes, I pay attention. I get the little card out and look at it. It's the same story every time. Stop it. I don't care. Stop it. It's a safety demonstration. We need to be on the same page. We're in this together. It's the same thing every time. That will absolutely do me. Well, how do you know where the doors are located? It's a different aeroplane. You look at it. You haven't looked at the exit. It's probably 540.

Flash and red. How do you know if the life jacket's got to, you've got to pull the different thing properly? It's the same life jacket. Can't you see? I don't want people talking in the middle of safety demonstrations. What? I reckon you've got to be on your own there. Yeah, you are. You've got to be on your own. Well, I just think it's disrespectful to the flight attendants. I don't speak. I just watch my Netflix.

That's dangerous. No, it's not. If you've seen one, you've seen a thousand. I disagree. 131873, the number. Don't you work for Stan? Did I say Stan? I don't think you did. She's loyal. Some of your best. Scott's at Newport. Hey, Scotty.

Yeah, g'day. I used to be a federal police officer and I was on a flight to Brisbane. The bloke sitting next to me was off his chops and managed to spill his bourbon and coke in my lap. So when we got off of Brisbane, I flashed my badge and I got him to open his bag and he had a kilo of methamphetamine. He has to be the unluckiest drug dealer in the world. Scotty! What did you do with it, Scotty?

I think he ended up getting about eight years. Oh, wow. So you had no idea. It was just totally coincidental. Yeah, I wasn't in uniform or anything. I was a detective, play-close detective.

Well, Scotty, what a story. Great work from you, Scotty. Thank you for your service. Thank you, Scotty. How good would that be? I know you can't do it. It's against the law if you're not a police officer. But how good would it be if, say, you're driving along and you've got some hoon in front of you that's cut you off and, you know, some bloke who's got the fully sick mud flaps and everything else. How good would it be if you could just put a siren on top of your car, pull them over and give them a fine? Wouldn't that be great? Wouldn't that be great? I know it's a bad way of thinking. Even if you just scared them. But sometimes when that happens, you know, when you see idiots...

swerving in and out and whatever. And I hate to think this, but you...

Sometimes you hope that maybe they have a crash. Oh, no. That's next level. But no one is injured. I have seen it, though, Daryl, on the way to Penrith. It's a scare. Recently on the way to Penrith, a bloke zoomed past me in one of these BMWs about, well, I don't know, 10 kilometres down the road. Highway Patrol got him. So I was just cheering. You're guilty. The boys in blue have struck again. 131873 is the number, 2GB.com. Click onto the feedback icon. Jimmy at Eden's Landing. Hello, Jimmy.

G'day, how are you going? Good, thank you, mate. Mate, planes, leg room. I heard you talking about you want to tilt your seat back. Everyone's got a problem with leg room and maybe the seat's a little bit too narrow. But I think everyone's looking at this the wrong way. There's about 24 rows in the average aeroplane. If you wanted to give everybody, everybody, an extra six inches of leg room so they could stretch out, you only got to make the plane 12 feet longer. But if you think that's incredible, if you wanted to make every seat...

six inches wider where there's a three on one side and three on the other. You've only got to make the plane 36 inches wider. And if you put an extra six inches in the middle of the aisle so the girl doesn't hit you with the trolley, you know, it would be 42 inches. But it's like the engineers who build these things. I know the issue. I know the problem with that. I know the problem. The garages aren't big enough. Aerodynamics. What do you mean the garages aren't big enough? The garage is like a standard size, like a normal garage at home. I've got one word for you. A380? They don't fit.

What do you mean they don't fit? They're made for the A380s. The garage that are made for the 747s are a certain size. They're made a certain size. You're tossing that up. No, I'm not telling you. It's true. How would you know? Can't you just park them outside? I sometimes leave my car out. No, because then they get wet and they don't look that good. What do you mean they're not wide enough? What do you think they do with the wings? They take them off.

They get wind. They get wind. I don't think they're flying in the middle of the sky, you idiot. It's like a car, though. You don't want your car, you leave your car outside. It might rust a bit quicker than normal. So you mean to tell me that the double-decker aeroplanes don't fit in the garages?

In the hangars. In the 747 garages they make for them, they don't know. Rubbish. I saw one, the Qantas one, in the Qantas hangar the other day. No, they make the garages the specific size. They make the garages the specific size for the 747, the A380. That's what they make them for. So where's the A380 hangar? At the A380 hangar spot. There's no A380 hangar spot. Where do they put it then? They put it in the 747 hangar.

No, they don't. Yes, they do. Where the wings go to the side? Yes. No, that doesn't work. Why don't they build them so the wings can keep brought in? It's an intractable wing. It's like when you buy the kids toys and the wings come in. Listen, given my fear of flying, can we not stuff around with the aircraft? Because I think they're doing a pretty good job. Okay? Is it a proper thing? Well, didn't you bring it up? You brought it up in the fact test. You brought up the BO. You brought up the aeroplanes. Wait, Levy, Levy, Levy. What do you do if there's bad turbulence? Oh, I put myself.

But are you silent or are you loud? I sweat profusely and I don't talk. Bad turrets is very scary. My safety blanket is a bottle of water that I can have little sips of water because I go very dry in the mouth. Do you have a little teddy bear you can't hold? No, no, no. But I'm a lot better. I used to be pretty bad, but I'm a lot better these days. Interesting. Anyway, that's just my fear of flying. You take like a...

Would you ever take, and I do sleep with a number of pillows, and of course you sleep with, what do you sleep with? A spinalese pillow. I do have two spinalese pillows. And as I say, I sleep with one between my legs. Would you ever consider taking a pillow on the floor? No, Darrell, I wouldn't do that. Just cuddling. No, I wouldn't do that. What about a Valium or something? You'd honestly be better off taking a teddy bear. There's no point cuddling a Valium. What about, there's a few people on the text line saying, Gal, good on you for trying to explain about the garage, but you lost all credibility when you referred to it as a garage. They called hangers, you idiot. Breaking back with more.

Mark Levy, Alana Ferguson, Daryl Broman and Paul Gallen, the Continuous Call team. Well, what about last night? The resurgence of this Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs side continued. The game went to golden point extra time. Matt Burton had a couple of cracks at field goal early days and then in extra time he stepped up and handed the Bulldogs a hard-fought win. But gee, an impressive win at that. It's tackle number five.

What are they going to do with it here? They're shaping up for the field goal. It's with Matt Burden. It's the distance. It's got an upright. Well, this is unbelievable. What a script. You couldn't have written it any better. Dogs have won in Golden Point extra time. It's come on. They've won the game. 15. And the man who was watching on from the coaches' boxes, Cameron Serraldo, and I'm pleased to say he joins us on the line. G'day, Cam.

Hey guys, thanks for having me. Mate, what a win last night. Congratulations. Golden point thriller and Matty Burton, the man to get you home. Yeah, it was awesome. Awesome for, uh, for Birdo to nail that moment. Um, you know, we've had a few games this year where we haven't quite got it right at the end of the game and haven't executed the way we wanted to, but feel like we're learning from those, um, those lessons. And it was awesome for Birdo to get that moment last night. Speaking of not executing, how was the old ticker when Nico had his lined up? Uh,

Yeah, I felt like it was a bit of advantage for us because the play before got so close to the trial line. So obviously our defenders aren't back as far. So it was always going to be under a bit more pressure. Ideally, you're trying to sort of get a field goal from at least 10 metres out, play ball 10 metres out to give you a bit more time and space. So,

sort of had my hopes up as I got closer to the trial line but yeah it was still nice that Reid was able to get some good pressure on me Mate you've managed to buy some pretty handy players over the last couple of years and they've all done a really good job for you but as a young bloke I do know very little about I've been watching this year Bailey Haywood who's forced his way into the side I just like I

I just like his style. He gives you a bit of a ball player on the fringes around the rack. I just like the way he plays. There's not much of him, but, geez, he's a goer.

He's a great kid. He's basically a halfback up until this preseason. He's played halfback all through the grades coming through here at the Bulldogs and played New South Wales Cup for us at halfback last year and then this year he sort of stuck down the pecking order and we threw him in at hooker a little bit and he started to show some good signs and then all of a sudden he got a crack at lock and he's just done a great job. Really tough kid, comes from a tough family.

And he's just taken his opportunity with both hands. He debuted earlier in the year against Melbourne. And basically, he's become that important to our team that, yeah, he's one of the first ones picked every week. So, yeah, we love Bailey. Cameron, we've spoken earlier, and I've spoken multiple times here, about Stephen Crichton at 23 years of age. His leadership has been unbelievable. But Viliami Kikau, for me, just his presence on the field just gives you guys a hell of a lot of confidence, doesn't it?

100%. We didn't think Billy was going to be able to play yesterday. It wasn't until sort of captain's run and late at night where he said, I'm in. He was sort of battling with a few injuries there and he said he was playing, Krita said he was playing and we're like, all right, we're both in here. So yeah, considering how busted he was to go into that game, just his presence and kick chase and his leadership through actions, just so important to our team and so grateful that he was out there.

Sarah, I want to ask an in-depth question here about Matt Burton. I love Matt Burton. One thing that I've noticed with him, when he puts those monster kicks up, occasionally he'll do the spiral, but on most occasions he does the end-over-end-over-end kick. I'm frustrated that he doesn't do the spiral enough. Is there a reason for that or not?

Well, everyone loves Birdo's bombs. The crowd want to see them, everyone wants to see them, but it's about what's best for our team. I think against Parry, he put three up, Gutherson caught two of them and they landed in the middle of a field 20 metres out from their trial line. They sort of start with an advantage there.

on their attacking set. So sort of a bit of risk versus reward with his style of kick there. If he can put it into the 10 by 10 box in the corner, it really helps our defence. And that was a real priority for us this year to get our defence right. Okay, so it's actually a tactic from you and him as opposed to...

When is he given a licence to put the spiral up? Is that a different situation? It depends who we're playing, what sort of fullback, where their confidence levels are at, time of the game. There's probably times he could have done it last night, but he just stuck to the plan and kept putting it in the corner and turned it into that semi-final type

sort of grind and yeah that's what we wanted to build our season on and really help our defence there and we've been able to do that we're one of the better defensive teams in the comp now and a lot of that comes back to the way the control Matt has with his kicking game to finish our sets Cam this is there's two last questions I want to ask you the first is you know you're a reserve sort of bloke you've been in the game a long long time how difficult is it when things are being written things are being said about the club but you know that

that you're going to be in a good position. And how delighted are you now to be seeing the fruits of not only the recruitment, but the hard work that's been put in since you've joined the club under Phil Gould and the Bulldogs are now positioning themselves for a crack at some finals footy? Yeah, I'll say the first part of your question there, how hard is it to see it? I don't see a lot of it. I don't have social media. I don't go looking for all...

all the stuff that's written. So sometimes every now and then people will tell me what's written and I'll have a little bit of a chuckle, you know, because I know where we're going. It was hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel last year at different times, but I knew if we stuck to our plans, stuck to our systems, eventually...

we'd be able to break through and I wasn't sure how long it would take but this year we're starting to show signs of that and you can start to see a bit of light at the end of the tunnel and these guys that were brought in from recruitment it was a really simple charter of what we wanted to recruit we wanted to recruit good people who work hard and are good connectors of people and the cohesion and the connection that those guys have brought into our group

I think everyone can see that, especially in the way we defend. So, yeah, that didn't faze me at all, sort of what's been written or what was said, because I wasn't seeing a lot of it. But it is nice to see now that those guys or the players and the team in particular are getting some recognition for how hard they're working and the style of play that they have. Like I thought last night,

you know, we were very clunky in attack. We probably missed the Connor Tracy at the back and Jacob Preston on the edge and Kurt Mann who's been like an extra halfback for us. Whenever we've got Josh Addo-Kar on the wing as well, we've got a bit more speed that we can play to. We've

We missed four guys who were really important to our team there, but it didn't matter. Everyone that came in has taken their opportunity and bought into what we're doing, and that's the most pleasing thing, how much they've come together and how hard they're working. Well, Cameron, we need to out one of my colleagues here. One of your players, Josh Curran, he copped a bit of grief last week off the back of a loss. A few of the supporters got stuck into him.

It's my information that Paul Gallen, you actually ran into Josh Curran this week and gave him some words of wisdom, just told him not to worry. You'll be right. You'll play well on the weekend.

And then there was a light bulb moment. You realised the dogs were coming up against your sharks. Can you confirm or deny this, Gal? Look, I've known Josh Curran since he's been a kid. He actually used to come and train with me on the weekends. Is this confirmation? So you told him what to do against your team you were involved in? I felt sorry for him and I felt what he caught was ridiculous and not right. So I went in and saw the young bloke and I said, hey, mate, I know you got a bit of criticism last week. I've got to just give him a bit of words of advice. And I said, just keep doing you, mate. You're doing a good job. And I walked out the cafe and I went,

Oh, they're playing the Sharks this week. So anyway, I'm glad he played well for you. Did you know who you were? Mate, I just said a moment ago, I used to train with him when he was a kid. It doesn't matter who you were. Anyway. Hey, Cameron, well done, mate. It's great to see the Bulldogs doing what they do best, and that's winning football games. So congratulations on the victory. Golden point thriller last night, and you enjoy your weekend.

Thanks, guys. Thanks for having me. Good on you, mate. Cameron Serraldo doing a great job at the Bulldogs. 15-14, Matt Burton, the hero in Golden Point Extra Time. Trevor Long from EFTM and Travel Guru has been in touch. He says, Levy, please tell Gal they are hangers for planes, not garages. There are different size hangers for different planes. Thank you, Trevor. And the boys at Sid Squad. Remember we were talking about Sid Squad earlier.

Yes. The live streaming of the planes. Hi, Mark. Sydney has one A380 hangar which fits it plus everything else. Other hangars for 747s and below don't fit the A380. You blokes are hilarious. You know what? You should have known that given the... No, you didn't say that. Yeah, I did say that. I said certain planes won't fit certain hangars.

Like Sid Squad just said. Thank you. Thank you, Sid Squad. But is the A380 considered to be the biggest aircraft in the world? I'd like to think so. So how would a 747 not fit in the biggest aircraft in the world's hangar? Well, with the Sid Squad, Blake just said it doesn't. Did he not? Did he not say that? What did he say?

Yeah, thank you. Thank you. Thank you. But it's a Boeing 747 and an Airbus A380, is it not? So it's a different aircraft. Boeing's a different, yeah. Yeah, so you'd need a Boeing aircraft, would you not? You'd also need a Boeing garage. That's a hangar. Oh, sorry. LAUGHTER

You should have known this, Levi, seeing you were the man who... When did you say you sat down and you watched the play? Oh, let's not go there again. Look, I watched it for 15 minutes and you hammered me. It's not boring. It's watched by millions of people around the world. Yeah, all boring people. And I...

I came up on a little feed and I clicked on it and watched it for 15 minutes and I thought they did a good job. That's all I said. So you watch the planes being directed around? Is that what you do? No, land. They watch them land. They take off and land. Land is land. No, but what you do, I was interested because you can hear the air traffic control and all that sort of thing. 10-4, big buddy, 10-4. That's a year. It's in between his seven hours of sleep and I'm like...

Can you get off that? No, he's about to go. He's worked. Let's go through it. Since Wednesday night, he did a show Thursday morning. What else did you do? Oh, oh.

He's talking to me. You know what? You know what? All I hear all year is this bloke going about, I need a new contract. I need a new contract. You know what? Listen. Listen. Why don't you go back to Triple M where you belong? 131873, the number. TGB.com. Click on the feedback icon if you would like to join us. On the way to the break.

Just a bit more news coming through from Eliza Barr at the Telegraph in relation to this truck that's crashed into a school near Moorbank. This truck has crashed into a school near a notorious intersection in the southwest. The driver is trapped and emergency services tending to a number of

patients emergency services raced to the intersection of new warra and newbridge roads in moorbank at midday where multiple trucks and cars collided a ambulance spokesperson said paramedics were assisting three patients one of whom's the truck driver who was trapped in the vehicle cabin it's understood the truck is stuck inside a school on new warra road with with traffic at the at

total standstill due to the scale of the collision. Fire Rescue NSW also on scene to assist the building structural safety before paramedics can enter, although I do note that Newbridge Road is now open, so they must have the situation under control. So that's what's been happening in Sydney's south-west this afternoon, where a semi-trailer has crashed into a primary school

on New Warra Road. 131873, the number, 2GB.com. Click onto the feedback icon. Now, team, we've got the Saturday footy quiz to deliver to our listeners. The $150 Lowe's digital gift card up for grabs. Here is clue number one. It's a who am I? So once you know who the answer is, after clue number three, you can give us a buzz on 1300 722 873. I've played 280 NRL games at three different clubs throughout my career.

I've played 280 NRL games at three different clubs throughout my career. That is clue number one in the Saturday quiz. So two more to come and the $150 Lowe's digital gift card up for grabs. Out of interest, Gal, what was one of your first? What's wrong? Yep. I don't know where this is going. He's eating a Granny Smith. No, I'm not. I'm just waiting for it.

What's up? He's like the naughty little school kid, isn't he? What's your question, mate? I just love how, you know, the big tough guy, toughest man to play the game, all that sort of thing. But then a little bit of confrontation. He sits there like a little church. When the pigeon arrives. What's your question? What's wrong? Why have I gone all red? Because I'm just like, you're like Hadley. Like, you're on the edge. You're going to lose it. And then I get...

I'm intimidated and I'll have to go home. You're intimidated by me? Yeah, of course I am. Okay, fair enough. Now, I was going to ask you what one of your first jobs were. Oh, Red Rooster. I work at Red Rooster. Okay. What did you do there? Maryland Draid and Maryland's. I cook chicken at Red Rooster. You cook chicken at Red Rooster? Yeah, I was a cook at Red Rooster. Was that difficult? Did you ever get a chance to advance to the chips?

No, I'll tell you what, I remember when I was about 13, I really wanted a job because I was really keen on working. I'm obviously happy to work and I went and lied about my age and they asked me what my birthday was and when I said my real birthday, they said, well, you're not old enough. So I stuffed up big time. But then I waited a year and went back to, I turned up in my school uniform to Red Rooster at Marylands and they gave me a job. Oh, nice. Beautiful. Beautiful.

And then you became a plumber, did you? Then I became a plumber for a little while, yep. And thankfully, footy paid off. Beautiful. I was a crap plumber. No, that's right. Flannoy was a plumber too. Flannoy was a plumber, yeah. I was better than Flannoy back in the day. We're going to have a chat to Flannoy this afternoon. Oh, really? It's his 200th game tomorrow. I tried to ring him today. I tried to ring him. Did you see the podcast that Luke Lewis did? No. It was hilarious. Really? It wasn't true either, by the way. That's why I tried to ring Flannoy to say it's not true. So Luke Lewis said that...

One day we had a video session. Flannoy walked out of the room. Jim Mulaney gets up and goes, okay, he said what he said. There is no way we're doing that crap. We're doing this. That's not true. I wanted to make sure to tell Flannoy that's not true. All right. Well, Flannoy is going to join us later this afternoon and we'll congratulate him on his 200th game. Continuous call time.

Well, I think it's time to unleash Paul Gallant on the radio waves of Australia. Daryl had a crack at hosting this show once before, and Alan writes, don't panic, Gal, no show without you, mate. Well, Al, I think you've raised a great idea. When we come back from the news, Daryl, I think we're going to put

Paul Gallant in charge of the continuous call team. Yeah, let's just give him a couple of minutes, see how he goes. See how he goes. All right, ladies and gentlemen, stand by the Sharks' premiership winning captain who thinks he's a big dog around here. He is going to host the continuous call team because according to Al, there's no show without Paul Gallant.

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.

back to the best team in the business, the Continuous Call Team. Yes, welcome back, Continuous Call Team on this Saturday afternoon from the McDonald's Interactive Studio. Don't worry, Paul Gallen, yes, will be taking over the reins of the Continuous Call Team after a couple of years on the show. He's the big dog. He wants a chance to host the show. He thinks he can do it. No, no, your microphone's not on yet. You'll see you'll learn that about hosting the show. You get to control people's microphones. Anyway, playing to

way. Warriors and Brisbane nil all. That's after seven minutes in the first half. We do that for Uber Reserve. So nil all. Warriors and Brisbane. Last night Bulldogs beat the Sharks 15-14 golden point extra time. If you missed our chat with Michael McGuire, the New South Wales coach, you can have a listen back to that on the websites 2GB.com or 4BC.com.au

And later this afternoon, Matt Thompson will be here to call the Knights and the Eels. And then later on tonight, the game between the Storm and the Raiders will be called by Chris Warren. Now, Daryl, I'll turn you and Alana, your microphones on.

Of course, all those years ago, you were given the same opportunity to host this great show by Ray. Yeah, short notice. Short notice. And we're doing the same with Paul here, and he's getting a lot of support on the text line. Give Gal a go. Continuous call to him. At least Gal's not a tosser like Levy. Be careful what you wish for, Levy. Give Gal a good go from Jeff.

Well, this is how Darrell went when he was given the reins by Ray to host the continuous call today. Welcome back to the SCG. And how good is it to be back at the traditional home of rugby league here, Bob? And a very big crowd. Oh, good start. Good start. Very big crowd building. And as we have a look down there, we can see the south side warming up together with the Tigers. The forwards and the backs separate all over the

Place doing their stuff and a very good crowd here. Bit of an issue. I've just been handed a note from one of security that Ray and Blocky have been caught in the lift. Tremendous. You and I will be able to call this wonderful clash. We're just looking out here. It's a beautiful day in Sydney. Fantastic as we see them coming up on the big screen, these players. But it is a beautiful day in Sydney. Not a cloud in the sky. I'm not sure what the temperature is. A great day for Rugby League. And to be back here, as I said before, at the traditional home of the SCG. I personally would like to see them play a few more games here on the

on a yearly basis, maybe another half a dozen. Is there any reason for that? I just think it's a great stadium. It's got great tradition here. I know it's probably not the best spot to watch football from because you're a fair way away from where the action is, but up where we are on the seventh floor here of the Brewongle stand, it's a great view. Well, as I look here to see if there's any emails, there aren't any, so let's take a break.

So, Paul, that's how not to host the continuous call team, OK? As Chanel Harris-Tavita goes in to score the first try for the Warriors. 4-0. Kick to come, Warriors lead Brisbane. That's after nine minutes of play as we take you around the grounds for Ruber Reserve. So, Gail, I'm just going to give you a quick run-through, right? So when you're hosting the show, you've got to pre-read the text and the emails coming through if there's callers on the board.

You've got to go around the grounds and update the scores because people are listening for regular score updates on the footy and everything else. You've also got to do commercials. Virgo, Big Man, as you know, commercials are a very important part. Lifeblood of a station. Exactly. Gal just said he's got this easy. Your exorbitant wages...

Oh, did he? Yeah. I did not say. Oh, listen, I have not said that at all. And let me tell everybody out there, I appreciate everybody's support, but I have not asked for this job. I have not indicated I want to run Australia. Don't turn around now. You're the big dog. Don't turn around now. You're the big dog. I have not said that. I want to say I appreciate all your fan support out there, but Mark Levy, let me tell you one thing. Mark Levy is the champion. 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 my money's filling in. Don't go off early, champion. You haven't tipped a winner yet. Oh, righto. Get rid of that. So you're in cahoots with Kane in the adjoining studio. I'm hosting the program. No, no, no. I haven't invited you to host the program just yet. So I'm going to leave you with a commercial. I'm going to leave you with the score updates. I'm going to leave you with the emails and the feedback that's coming through. And I'm going to leave you in the

hands of Daryl and Alana to direct them on this journey that we call the continuous call team Paul Gallen it's all yours

Thank you. Okay, we have a live read. Who's this from? Adlib. Adlib from Paul Gale. Hey, Gale. How was your sleep last night? Well, I'll tell you what, I woke up fantastic this morning. Let me ask you. Gale, how was your sleep last night? My sleep last night was absolutely fantastic. And who did you sleep with last night? Oh, it was a great sleep on my Spinalese mattress. And the pillow was outstanding. Slept with my wife and slept.

This morning too was a great morning. Great morning. But let me read this out, everybody. Well, if you're sick and tired of waking up with a sore neck or back, do what I have done and make the switch now to a premium Spinalese pillow. And now that's the perfect time to switch because Spinalese is running an incredible end-of-year promotion with three value-packed 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 just like me, head to spinalese.com.au right now and grab yourself an award-winning Spinalese pillow. That's Spinal E-Z-E. What's the score around the grounds? Around the grounds, here we go. The Warriors are currently leading the Broncos six points to nil. And I've got to say, the Broncos went over there about their...

Origin plays. That's something you failed to mention to the callers there, Marcus, before. So they went over there without their origin plays, the Brisbane players. Who scored for them? Brisbane side. I didn't say who scored the try because I was given this bit of paper. But, you know, I'll tell you what. Can I say something? Have a go. Have a go at this beautiful bird. I want everybody's head. It's a win-win.

He's flying onto Bird and Bird's over. He scores a try. Bird, Bird. You've turned this into a Ag Levy segment, haven't you? Well, yeah. What goes around comes around. He's throwing me under the bus for no reason. He's upset at some of our listeners writing in and giving me support. I haven't claimed to be a host of this program. I haven't tried to be a host of this program. I'm just here to give special comments. And Marcus, you can take back over whatever you want, Chip.

No, okay. What do you want to talk about then, Dale? Let's have a topic. Yeah, let's throw a topic. You know what? I'll tell you one thing that I've done lately. What? I've bought chewing gum, right? Well, you used to get it for nothing.

Well, I never really should chew it, to be honest. I've never really had that much extra. Are you a buy-it-woolies or a servo guy? I bought a pack. I bought a ball at the servo this morning. How much was it? It cost me $7.25. $7.25. There's like, there's 50 in the pack, isn't there? You know the packs I'm talking about. Is this Wade Graham creaking onto the segment? But let me say, well, this is just stupid. We haven't started the topic yet, so I don't know if it's boring. Well, leave it. This is leaving. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

Keep going with your topics. Anyway, I am saying that extra chewing gum these days, the flavor runs out a whole lot faster than it used to. It's not a bad topic, you know. It absolutely does. I remember back in the day when extra first come out, I used to chew a bit of extra for hours when I was a kid. And then I reckon I went away from it all through my teenage years until just recently. And now I chew extra and it dead set runs out after five minutes. Yeah.

Round the grounds, the score, the Warriors leading six points to nil still over the Brisbane Broncos. Who's that for? Who's the round the grounds for? No idea. All right, look, I'm going to step in and save you. Out of interest, ladies and gentlemen, 131873, do you think our strength is hosting the show?

If you ring through and support me, you'll be getting a prize. 131873, the number. You can email us via the website. You can text us as well, 0460 873 873. I don't mean to be rude, Gabba. That was crap. I never claimed for it to be my screen. I never wanted to host a program. I didn't want to host a program. Boring. What about when you do – give me the commercial. What about when you do the commercial at the top? It says AdLib. That was great. That was great. That was good. AdLib from Paul Gallant. That means you don't say it when it's highlighted that. That means you need to AdLib around the commercial, Paul. Okay.

No, no, no, Paul. You've made the claim that you're the big dog, right? No, I did not make that claim. You're putting words in my mouth again. I think we're going to let the listeners decide. I did not make that claim, Mark. You're getting a little bit upset and a bit precious. No, I'm fine, mate. I'm fine. Because a few listeners have written in and given me a little bit of support.

So you're getting pressures saying, right, let Gallant host the show then. I'm not a host. I've never tried to be a host. I don't proclaim to be a host. No, you, my friend, you, my friend, have misinterpreted this. Did you say you don't proclaim to be a host? Yes, claim, proclaim, claim, whatever you want to freaking say. I'm getting cranky. This is crap. Because I haven't claimed to be a host. I'm not a host. Oh, Daryl, our plan is working. You know what? I reckon I'll just sleep in a little bit and I'll become a host.

Six, seven hours sleep. You're trying to get under his skin. All right. Hang on. I'm obviously under his skin. Look, we live in a democracy. We let the people decide. Do we not? I think we do. Let's take a few calls here. Troy's in Gosford. Hello, Troy.

Yeah, afternoon, boys. Levy, I think you do a wonderful job. And Gal, I don't think you got off the plane yet. A little like the Queenslanders on Wednesday night. I have never tried to be a host. And Levy does do a fantastic job. I don't know why I'm in trouble. Thanks for the call, Troy. Let's go to Michael at Norellon. Hello, Michael. Yeah, hi, Gal. I thought I'd give you some knowledge about your extra situation. The extra is exactly the same, mate. It's just your taste buds are dying because you're getting old. You know what, though?

That could be right. I'm not against you for that. That's not a bad thing. Are you actually serious? Out of all the things you did say, I'm actually with you on the whole chewing gum thing. Remember Juicy Fruit? That was the only one that used to hold its sort of taste. Do you remember the song? Juicy Fruit will get you going. It's got the taste to keep on going. Juicy Fruit, the taste, the taste, the taste will get you going. What about, do they still sell Hubba Bubba? Yes. Oh, Bertha on the plane said,

had purple Hubba Bubba next to me. I'm sure that was her name. I'm sure her name was Bertha. Do you know what I reckon has a fair chance Bertha's going to remember who you are? She had one of those circle Hubba Bubba things where you pull the tape. You want to talk about flavour running out, Hubba Bubba runs out in seconds.

Extra, as I said, extra back in the day was beautiful, but the taste goes quickly now, but Hubba Bubba goes in seconds. Michael, thank you for your call. Well done, gal. Chewing gum has no flavour. Hi, boys. Gallon is great, but Mark, you are the better host. Thanks from Emma. No, I don't. Boo to Gallon. You are the man, Levy. Jeez, there's a bit of support coming through for me. Thank you very much. You're making me feel really special. You are...

She's our listeners of Wonderful People. Levy Mooney here at Denman. I'm with you, Levy. Gal doesn't know Adlib. Simple man from the Shire there. You're kidding, aren't you? Well, Aunty Suey just texted me. You're awesome. Look out, Levy. So if you want some chocolate, I suggest you give me a wrap. Actually, you know what? I do love your Aunty Sue. We met Aunty Sue down at the bowling club late last year. She's fantastic. Great Aunty Sue. She's my favourite.

Is she your favourite auntie? How many aunties do you have? She would be my favourite auntie. So she's your favourite auntie. Who's your favourite child? She took me in for a little while there when I was a rat. Who's your favourite child? My favourite child at the moment is Ruby. She's taken over. Macy was always a favourite. I thought it was... Yeah, I thought it was Macy. Yeah, Macy was always a favourite. But Macy's now nine and starting to get the attitude early. So yeah, Ruby's...

So Ruby's now your favourite. Yeah, Ruby's taken over. Who's your least favourite? Charlie, by far. A little bit of attitude there in the Gallon household, is there? Mate, the fifth in-year at the moment. Holy. She's going to create a lot. You're going to have a lot more trouble in the next few years, mate. No, she's not. You know, can I, now that we've had the GF and everything else...

I'm going to be serious here for a second. I think you've got a future in hosting. That wasn't too bad. No, I don't. I've heard worse. I know. I've heard worse. Broman. I've heard worse too. But Daryl didn't get a preparation. You had a time to plan it out with Kane in the adjoining studio. I ran past him when I went to the toilet and said, have you got that stuff you've done for Levy a couple of weeks ago? He said, yes. That was all I did. Well, anyway, I'm giving you a wrap. I thought you were very good. Thank you. I have no plans to be a host. See, a lot of people think hosting this show is easy, but it's not. It's very difficult.

Mark, are you okay? Do you need a little bit of an ego boost? No, no, I'm fine. He's got it now. No, no, I'm fine. He's got it. He's got money on the SMS line from Lumpy. Lever, you are the best host ever. Can I get a meat tray now? Well, Lumpy, you can't get the meat tray, but I can throw you into the draw for it. Yeah, of course you can. Well done, Lumpy. Congratulations. 131873 is the number. Jeff is on the open line. Hello, Jeff.

Hey, Libby, how you going? I'm very well, thank you, mate. You should let Gal have another bit more practice, mate. How long did it take you to practice to learn how to call a team, to call a game? That's a great point. Three great points.

Farewell. So if Gal was let loose on your show, pal, he'd run rings around you. Oh, don't throw me under the bus more. This is what got me into this trouble. No, no, no. I know you'd have to take a pay cut, Gal, but that's part and parcel. Oh, Jeff. Oh, yes, Jeff. Well done, man. I've got a feeling Jeff doesn't like me. Jeff's trying to get me in trouble. Maybe I don't give a stuff. Gal's better than you. Oh! Jeff. Jeff, please stop this. You got my number? Don't forget it, because I'll give you this every time I let loose on you. Whoa!

Hey, Jeff, stay there, mate. I'm going to send you a signed footy jersey from the Continuous Call team and create merchandise. See, I'm going to be the bigger man in this situation. But, Jeff, I love your work. Thank you, mate. 131873, the number. Nice to hear from you. Thanks, Jeff. He's just blocked you. Blocked.

the fallout from Origin, and Linda says, hey, guys, how about the Gal and Pig show? That'd be worth listening to. Well, he's not the first person to be left in charge of different things. On a Friday night, we give Josh Morris a chance to do his own segment. He does Mozza's Top Five, and he actually came up with a good one last night. What did he come up with? He came up with the top five movie quotes of all time, and he ratted off some good ones. He had, you know, that's not a knife. This is a knife. Yeah, that'd be in there. You need a bigger boat. Yep. Show me the money.

You can't handle the truth. You can't handle the truth. Did he have time to prepare? He did, yes. He gets on the way. I was going to say that. Although he was late last night and then he started jotting down all his famous movie quotes. So why don't I ask you for some of your favourite movie quotes?

Can you think of any off the top of your head, team? Well, you've just said three of them. Yeah, you came out of the trip with mine. I think that's what I said, but then Levy said, wasn't that tennis? Here's another one. I'll have what she's having. Yes, that's good. Did you say we're going to need a bigger boat? Going to need a bigger boat, yes. That's another good one. I like that one. I watch Jaws a lot.

No, this is not my area of expertise. You're not a movie buff? No, I just have the world's worst memory. I could watch a movie and then watch it in a fortnight's time and forget the ending. Really? May the force be with you. I blame it on footy, but I have honestly the worst memory ever. Do you call that a knife? Have you said that one? Yeah, that's not a knife. This is a knife. Crocodile Dundee. My mama said it's like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're going to get.

Yeah, that's up there. That's up there. I don't know if it's top five, but it's top ten, I reckon. Well, let's get our listeners involved. Oh, there's one from Rod. I feel the need, the need for speed. Yeah, that's good. That's a cracker. Top Gun 1986. Show Me The Money, Jerry Maguire. You said that, didn't you?

Actually, I think that's Anchorman. That's from Anchorman, that line. Let's not remember it. Oh, what about Taxi Driver? You talking to me? You talking to me? Is that Al Pacino? Yeah, Al Pacino.

All About Eve, another cracker. Thank you, Linda. You're into the running for the $200 meat tray voucher. I'm calling this, Linda. That's not in my top 500. I don't even remember All About Eve.

It was black and white. Black and white. There you are. Thank you, Linda. Thanks for the call. What's the matter with you, Cal? What about this one from Chris? E.T. phone home. How good was E.T.? Hang on. You reckon E.T. was a great movie? Yes. It was boring.

E.T. was boring. It was. It was boring. I've never watched it. I could be with you, Levy. You've never watched it? How do you know it's boring if you haven't watched it? Because I reckon I started watching it, but it was boring, so I stopped watching it. E.T. Far and Home was one of the great movies of all time. No, that's a stretch. It's right up there. One of the greatest movies of all time is a stretch. You've changed topics now, Levy. Now we're going to get people either with me or against me when it comes to E.T. I reckon they'll be against you. It was boring. It was the start of the Steven Spielberg era.

It was a stupid little robot alien looking thing that wanted to go home. Boring. E.T. phone home. Great movie, E.T. 131873. Give us a call. 131873 is the number. 2GB.com. Anchorman is the fun. Can you get off Anchorman? It's got a thousand quotes. Here's one. You can read the first one, Fagot. What about The Sixth Sense? I see dead people. I cannot read that. Thank you.

Yeah, mate, Arnold Schwarzenegger in the Terminator Judgment Day, I think it is, he walks into the bar at the beginning of the movie and he checks out all the bodies for the sizes and he finds one and he goes, I need your clothes, your boots and your motorcycle. That is good. Mate, the Arnold Schwarzenegger movies are iconic and, you know, people remember them from time to time. That's another ripper.

Good on you, Chris. Thanks for the call, mate. You're into the running for the meat tray voucher as well. 131873 is the number. 0460 873 873. Amanda from Balgala. Dirty dancing. No one puts baby in a corner. That is a good one. Did you like that movie, Levy? Yes, I did. Thank you. There's another one here. I can't say the end word, but...

It's from Die Hard. Yippee-ki-yay. Yeah. I think you know the rest of it. Ross is at Beaumont Hills. Hello, Ross. G'day, buddy. How are you? Good, mate. It is from the movie Aliens when the guy comes out and says, game over, man, game over, when he realised that they were all going to die from the aliens and that. Yeah, I remember that movie, Aliens. Probably not my top five, but we'll take that one. Thank you, Ross. 131873 is the number. Rod's at Picnic Point. Hey, Rod.

G'day, Levy, Big Man, Fergo and hashtag losing. Mate, my one is Clint Eastwood from Heartbreak Ridge. I'll just try and do Clint's voice. You improvise, you adapt, you overcome. Yes. Scary. Hashtag ordinary. Oh, mate.

Mate, he's had a go. Yeah, Mr. I Can't Handle Criticism. Seriously. 131873, the number, 2GB.com. Click onto the feedback icon. Did we met? Ollie, our mutual friend, has been in touch. How's it going, Ollie? You can't handle the truth. Oh, yeah, I've just got that one. You've got questions. Yeah, I've got questions. You want answers. You can't handle the truth. This is a good show. A few good men. This is.

What's this from Chris Warren? What are your legs? Steel springs? How fast can you run? As fast as a leopard gallipoli. I like it. Has anyone said the Australian movie about when they were living next to the airport? Oh, Jousting Sticks? No, what about Feel the Serenity? Is that it? Yeah. Feel the Serenity living next to the airport? There's a couple in that one too. Was there? I can't remember. There's a couple of good lines. What about Dennis DiNudo when he's playing with a photocopier? F'n photocopier! LAUGHTER

131873, the number. Keep them coming. We've got to take a break. We'll come back with more of your famous movie quotes. Josh Morris is on a winner this week with Moz's Top 5. All I wanted in retirement was to feel confident with my money. So I picked an income account with my industry super fund. Now I take enough for day-to-day things, splash out when I fancy, and the rest can grow over time. Stick with your industry super fund in retirement.

I don't even think I need to say the movie as we return here. All I'll say is, hello, Clarice. Yeah, say the movie for me. It's your voice. What is it?

What? You've never seen that? You've never seen that movie? Hannibal Lecter, Silence of the Lambs. I don't think I saw it. Are you serious? It's iconic, Daryl. Not as iconic as E.T. Well, I'm sorry. Silence of the Lambs is much better than E.T.

Could I suggest you go to the video and check out the ratings of it? I ate his liver with some fava beans and an ice key ante. That's scary. Oh, yeah, I did see it. I was scared by it. It affected me. Did he ever play a nice character, Anthony Hopkins? He was always the baddie, wasn't he? Probably not. He was always the baddie. I found the Anchorman 60% one. And all you're talking about is Anchorman. 60% of the time, he works every time. To be fair, that is a pretty good one. That one's up my alley. LAUGHTER

Oh, dear, oh, dear. What about when he says to the voiceover bloke in Anchorman, he says... He changes the name to the...

of the fellow presenter, the female presenter. And the bloke comes over, the voiceover, the six o'clock news with Ron Burgundy and so-and-so McGee. Well, so-and-so McGee's off tonight. It is Veronica Corningstone. And Ron Burgundy's all over the place. Oh, Paul in Brisbane. Hello, Paul. Stop it, Paul. Ah, Mr. Levy, how are you? I'm good, Paulie.

Listen, what about Home Alone? This one's for you, Daryl. Yes. You filthy animal. Do you know what, Paul? I did love Home Alone. Paul, given you've delivered that with gusto, mate, I'm going to send you a continuous call team show bag, thanks to Complete Blind. So stay there, Paul, you filthy animal. There's a show bag coming your way. Jesse says kindergarten cop is not a doomer.

That's a good one. What about hasta la vista, baby? You do it better than me, Levy. Hasta la vista, baby. What was the ad you used to read out as Arnie? Hi, I'm Arnie. What's the rest of it? It was about grass, I think. Lawn builder, wasn't it? Yeah, Scott's lawn builder. Hi, I'm Arnie.

16 points to four. Warriors lead Brisbane. The Broncos have gone in for a try here. 16-4. Warriors lead Brisbane. Eight and a half minutes left in the first half. Spud's in Canberra. G'day, Spud. How you going, boys? Good. Thank you, mate. Mate, what about Forrest Gump when he goes, that's my gen name? I love you, Gen A. How does it go, Spud? That's my gen name.

That's what... The other quote in Forrest Gump... Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know which one you're going to get. It was a great movie, wasn't it? It is a great movie. What about the big scene, you know, where they go through all his life and at the end of the movie he says, I did this at the Bubblegum Shrimp Company...

And when my mama said to me, I was running. That was so good. It went something along those lines. I think I need to watch that again. 131873 is the number. Look, oh, Lynette at Cronulla. Lynette, good afternoon to you. This is a great movie. Hello. Hello, Lynette. Mine is You're Terrible, Muriel. You're wrong.

Oh, that is one of the greatest straight in movies of all time. And then she changes her name to Mariel Van Arkel. So good. She marries the swimmer. Our Oz tag team was called the Murials. What? Great team. What a great topic this is. 131873, the number. Judy's on the Central Coast. Hello, Judy. Hello. Hello there. How are you doing? Good, thank you. Good, thank you. Just doing a bit of radio and stuff. Judy, what have you got for us? Give me a cut. Well, I had Monty Python on my...

where it said, oh, bring out your dead. And one of them says, I'm not dead yet. Judy, you're on fire. Thank you very much. Just before we go to our next guest, movie line from Happy Gilmore.

You can't handle the truth, Mark. Nice one. That was a terrible attempt at an American accent. You can't handle the truth. Yes, I can't. You can't handle the truth. You can't. You can't. You can't. Well done, Flannery. How did you go hosting the show today, Paul? I did.

I did my best, man. I'm not a host. I never tried to be a host, but Marcus got a little bit upset. They paid some extra money, I bet you would. Well, they're my invoice, but Marcus got a bit upset. I was getting a bit of support from some of the fans out there, so he tried to throw me under the bus, but I did my best. This is where you let yourself down. I actually wasn't upset. I genuinely wanted to give you a crack at hosting the show, and I thought you were very good. I didn't ask for a crack, but anyway, I appreciate it. I appreciate your support, because I support you, Marcus. You're doing a great job. He's a suck, isn't he? Anyway, Shane, the reason we wanted to get you on the line to have a chat

is because your Dragons play tomorrow, of course, but it's a milestone game for you, and I haven't seen it written anywhere or mentioned much this week, and we wanted to congratulate you because you're one of our men. 200 games as an NRL coach. Congratulations.

Yeah, thanks, Mark. That's sort of one of those things that it's like a birthday party when you get over 50. You sort of, yeah, okay, thanks for the birthday present, but I'm not really happy about it. You know, it's been a really enjoyable ride. There's been some tough times, obviously, in NRL coaching.

You know, just all it's about winning. And that's all I'm really worried about is tomorrow is, you know, just get the win. You know, I'll give anything for those two competition points. And, you know, if we can get it on my 200th, that'll be great. You know, another present that might be nice for your 200th. You've already got Damien Cook. Do I hear that you're chasing Stefano, your toy Gamano?

Oh, look, we'll have a look at it. I saw the article written today and it was a bit of a shock to me that we found all of a sudden we found a lot of money. But, you know, he's a really good player, obviously, and, you know, we're in the market for a front rower. So, you know, definitely we'll have a look at it and, you know, we'll talk to Stefano. He's only just recently got permission to talk to other clubs. So...

I presume he'll start that process over the next couple of weeks and will more than likely jump on the queue. Given Zach Lomax is leaving at the end of the year, I'm wondering whether he's starting to regret that decision given the way he's playing not only at club level but origin level on the wing. So you obviously done something there for his game. But is his departure going to free up plenty of money for you to chase someone like a Stefano Yatoyka-Marner?

Hopefully we use Zach's money in that position. We need a quality outside back and whilst we might not spend all of that money that was allocated for Zach, we'd like to think that we can go in the market to buy a quality outside back and now our main targets were

a hooker, a front rower and outside back. We've got our hooker. Now we've just got two more to go and they're probably two big ones to add to what we've already got this year. Let's talk about the game tomorrow, Flannery, up against the Dolphins. They're a fast side, aren't they? I mean, one thing, they have got one of their speedsters out, unfortunately for them, but they're a very fast side and they play fast football.

Yeah, they do, Daryl, and they just play consistent football. They don't turn the ball over. I think they're number one in a few areas and the areas that they're number one at is coming out of their end discipline. They don't turn the football over. They don't chance their arm too much in yardage. Two passes is probably maximum, but

You know, their forwards are experienced and they just roll up the field. And then, you know, probably when they get to your 30-metre line, things start to change a little bit. And, you know, they, you know, obviously they throw some attack at you, but really disciplined in yardage. And, you know, typical Wayne Bennett sides just apply pressure from, you know, completions and field position. So we're going to have to be good at that tomorrow. Flannery, you and the boys are coming off a bye.

Do you struggle or do you like having that little bit of a break or do you find it hard to sort of get them back up for a big game? Tricky one. Probably tell you that tomorrow about four o'clock. Our last bye was a quick turnaround. We played on a Thursday night. I think this bye came at a really good time for us. There was a few boys that had a few bumps and bruises. A lot of players getting painkillers before games and they probably just needed that week off. So, yeah.

We gave them seven days off, but we also jumped into a really... Monday, we jumped into them pretty quickly with their conditioning and they've had a really good week, a long week, because we play on the Sunday, obviously. So it's a tricky one, but I think you do need a break and a freshen up and hopefully we turn up tomorrow fresh, but ready to go. Flan, I'm not sure if you've been listening to the show. Would you classify E.T. as a legendary movie or not so good?

No, a legendary movie. Yes, Daryl. You just pushed in front of Paul Gallen's question. That's fine. That was the same question. I was going to ask that question. So you're with me. Flannoy, I rang you this morning and you brushed me. What happened?

Paul, I've got another job. It's called casing a football team. Okay, fair enough. Nice. You can apply until tomorrow. I agree. No, no, but we had our captain's run this morning and now I'm around the grounds at Redfern Oval. Hang on, are we talking to Shane Flanagan or Benji Marshall? Benji answers his phone. Yeah, quickly they forget. I want him at Premiership anyway. Righto, Shane, flash scores around the grounds. New South Wales Cup, Uber Reserve, what's doing? Yeah.

Yes, South Sydney and St George Illawarra, half-time. St George Illawarra, 12. South Sydney, nil. You sure? Yes. I'm being told it's 16-nil.

While I've been talking to you, they might have scored another one. We're all about accuracy on this program, Flannoy. No, look, seriously, Daryl and I actually recorded a video, and I think you did too, Gal, for Flannoy's 200th game that was played, I think, to all of the playing group and the coaching staff and everything else. We mean it. You're a good fella. Congratulations, 200 games. Well deserved, and good luck tomorrow against the Dolphins.

Thanks, boys. Love your support. Thank you very much. See you later. Shane Flanagan, and he'll be back with us in the next few weeks here on the Continuous Call team. Back around the grounds for Uber Reserve. Two minutes left in New Zealand. Warriors 16, Brisbane 6. 16-6, Warriors lead Brisbane as we take you around the grounds. Craig, just a correction to Daryl. You're looking at me was Robert De Niro, not Al Pacino, and big man Steven Spielberg's empire started with Jaws, not E.T. Bring back Gal from Craig.

I've got some support. Thank you very much, listeners. George was okay, but E.T. was his big one. Mate, George, there was about five of them. How many E.T.'s were there? Two? I don't think there was five. I never saw one. There was five Jaws. There's heaps of Jaws. There's five Jaws. Okay, someone go to the...

I'm going to do it right now. Prove you're wrong. How many Jaws movies? I think there was five. I just think he's right. How many Jaws? There's at least five Rocky. One, two, three, four, five. There you go. There's Jaws, Jaws 2, Jaws 3D. Jaws 4. Jaws the Revenge. George of the Universe. What about the person who came up with the names for the titles? First one, Jaws 1975. 1978, Jaws 2. 1983, Jaws 3D. 1987, Jaws the Revenge. 1995, Cruel Jaws.

Cruel Jaws. I've never seen that one. I didn't see that either. It's a great white shark that eats people. I'm tipping it's cruel as well. 16-6 Warriors lead Brisbane. 45 seconds left first half. You're listening to the Continuous Call team. We go around the grounds for Uber Reserve. Great to have you with us. Halftime in New Zealand. 16-6 Warriors lead Brisbane for Uber Reserve. 16-6 Warriors lead Brisbane as we take you around the grounds. Mick, or Lumpy, he says, what about how many police academies there were? See, they were good.

movies. They were quite funny. Yeah, they were. I'm going to have to have a look. Police Academy. I don't think I've ever watched one of them either from start to finish. What about Fast and Furious? Yeah, there's a few of them. How many of them do you reckon there is? Maybe six even. Six? Do you reckon? Yeah, actually there is. I actually reckon all of them are pretty good. Yeah, sometimes the two, three and four are crap. I actually reckon the Fast and Furious ones are all pretty good. Jeez, there were seven Police Academy movies. There you are. What's this seven? Yeah.

Number two was their first assignment. Well, number one would have been their first assignment anyway. Three is back in training. Four citizens on patrol. Five assignment Miami Beach. Six city under siege and seven mission to Moscow.

The Mission to Moscow one was crap. The other ones were pretty good. What was the other one? Eddie Murphy? Eddie Murphy had a few. Or was that Lethal Weapon? Lethal Weapon. There were a few of them. Yeah, you're right. He's doing another movie that's just coming out. Is he? I think he is, Eddie Murphy. He's a cracker. Very, very entertaining. Look, Chris, and there's a couple of other emailers and texts going into sort of more television commercials and television programs.

Chris says, hi, guys, what about this one? Not the bloody Kingswood from Kingswood Country. That was a television show rather than a movie. There's a few people saying Not Happy Jam, which again was a television commercial. Patrick's at Huntley's Cove. Hello, Patrick. Yeah, hi. I've got one from Moonstruck with Cher. This one's for you, Levy. Snap out of it.

Well, I've got a snappy out of it. He's got him. Thank you, Patrick. Thank you, mate. Look how upset he is. I'm upset. Are you okay? I've done some research on my own now here, thanks to the people who've SMSed us. You know, I mentioned about ET. Yeah. And then I was told Jaws was before it. You know what was before that? Jewel.

Jewel? Jewel. What is Jewel? Jewel was a movie, D-U-E-L, where they had the truck and the car. Don't you remember that, where the truck was up the clacker of the car the whole time? That was Steven Spielberg's first big hit. I was born in 81. She was born in probably 90. 92. I don't care. I'm just telling you facts there. You've got something you know. Jewel. There are 11 Fast and Furious movies. 11. Wow. And they're all pretty good, actually. They're all okay.

That's hectic. What about Home and Away? Does anyone like Home and Away? You've been Flaming Glass. Yeah, that's good. Daryl, you've been proven wrong yet again. Why? His first debut, his theatrical film debut, was the Sugarland Express in 1974. The big hit. This one. And 71 was dueled.

You'll improve right again. Go to the video. He's used to being wrong. He's used to being wrong. Gibber up. You're a gibber up. 131873. Oh, Austin Powers. Groovy, baby. Oh, that is good. 131873. What about... Oh, I mentioned this this week. Apparently there's a movie called WALL-E, but I called it WALL-E this week when I was doing an On This Day segment on Ben's show. We've had this one, but I'm happy for Michael to say it for us. Michael in Brisbane. G'day.

Yes, gentlemen, you're doing a great job there. Thank you, mate. And the Broncos might get up if we're lucky. But that's not a knife.

This is a knife. Perfect. Good on you, Michael. Beautiful, Michael. Said with a great Australian accent, just like the man himself in Crocodile Dundee. 16-6, Warriors lead Brisbane. You're listening to the Continuous Call Time. One more on movies before we move on to other things, and it comes from a listener who references the movie The Mask, who says, every time I nail a reverse park team, I say, like a glove? Ace Ventura, pet detective.

That's from that movie there. Thank you very much for that question. Well, clue number two in the Saturday quiz, thanks to Lowe's Menswear, I have also represented Queensland and Australia and was the 18th man for the Maroons in State of Origin 2. I've represented Queensland and Australia, was the 18th man for the Maroons in State of Origin 2. There's one more clue to come, then you can give us a buzz on 1300 722 873.

1-300-722-873. 16-6 halftime. The Warriors lead the Brisbane Broncos.

And just prior to going to a break...

Just more news on this situation at Moorbank, where a truck and school buildings have been damaged, multiple vehicles as well. In relation to the driver who was trapped, he was stuck for almost 40 minutes before he was released by Fire Rescue New South Wales. He's been taken to Liverpool Hospital. Police have been told his injuries are not life-threatening. Another two people from the damaged vehicles have also been taken to hospital with what police have been told are minor injuries with a further six.

checked at the scene by paramedics as a precaution. The truck will be towed for mechanical examination while the building is being checked for structural damage. So that incident today at Moorbank at the intersection of New Warra and Newbridge Roads, it happened at about 1.15. Thankfully, there are no serious injuries and everybody has been assessed by paramedics. A couple of them have been taken to hospital.

Coming up in the next hour of the program, I'll have a chat to the team about Wayne Bennett, who's unloaded on the overall unfairness in the standard of refereeing in the bunker while calling for a dramatic overhaul and punishment for foul play, including a major revamp of sin bin and send-off rules. He's certainly thrown a cat amongst the pigeons, so we'll have a chat to the team about all of that. Warriors leading Brisbane by 16 points to six at halftime. We've got a break for some news. We'll come back with the next hour of the continuous call time.

Thank you, Daryl. Inspiring words from the big man. Well, that's what I'm about. I mean, as a musician, I've got the lot. I haven't... I mean, it's only a matter of time between... I think you... I just choked on my lollipop. You two, you and Gal, need to do a song together. You know, like... I just suck juicy fruit. Islands in the stream. Oh, what a great idea. Do you think so? A little duet. Dolly Parton and Gal. Wow.

Are you a singer, Fergo? Yeah. What do you reckon? Islands in the stream, that is what we do. It's a great song. Gail, are you a singer? No, not at all. You just heard me sing Jizzy for it. I'm terrible. You could be Kenny Rogers and obviously, Fergo, you could be the other half, Dolly Parton. It'd be beautiful to listen to. You are the one of a kind.

Good singing, Gareth. Very good. I hope everyone saw that on video. Very good. Welcome back, everyone. 16-6, Warriors lead Brisbane as we take you around the grounds for Uber Reserve. Ten minutes gone in the second half. Later tonight, Matt Thompson will be here to call the 5.30 game for you between the Knights and the Eels, which has just been...

put up as a sellout. So all tickets sold for the Knights and the Eels. And at 7.35 tonight, Chris Warren on deck to bring you the Storm and the Raiders. So that's where we're at at the moment as we take you around the grounds. And what's still to come is Selwyn Cobbo scored a brilliant try in the corner. If he scored it is, I think he's dropped the ball.

I'll tell you what. It was from a dropout and he beat about three players and he had to, well, somehow try and get to the line. But I think he's actually been bundled in touch and goal. I think he's going to be back in his origin side. I'm with you. I reckon they need him on the right edge to try and handle. Brighton, Latrell. They're right. So where Val is. Yeah, he does carry the ball in his left hand. Maybe put Val to the wing.

Well, these are the Harvey Norman replays. So Selwyn Cobbo's got it. Coming across field in cover is Charns Nicol Klukstar, by the looks of things. And he leaps into the air. The boot's inside the touchline. Does he get the ball down? Does he keep control of the ball? No. I think it's come free, hasn't it? I don't think he has. I think it's a try. I think it's a try. I think it's a try. You know, we see this regularly every weekend. You see, this is one of the great finishes. If he's got this down...

That is incredible. I think he has. I think it's a try. It's in his tippy toes. Remember last year if it come out of your hand and you had to re-grip it? This year they changed that rule. As long as there's still contact with it. As long as there's contact and momentum. And there's still contact. I think it's a try. He's on his tippy toes and it's in his fingertips and he gets the ball to the ground. This is the angle we want to have a look at. Does he get...

the ball down. Oh, no. There's separation. That's so close. Oh, see, the first two replays we saw it look like a dead set try, but on that occasion, on that replay from side on, there's separation between his fingers and the ball. The ref said no try too. Yeah, that's probably the reason. I'm thinking, you know...

I would like to just have that one frame back a little bit. I think it'll be no try. I think you're right. I'll go the referee. Here comes the decision from the video referee. Yep, no try. So score remains 16-6. Warriors lead Brisbane. Ten minutes gone in the second half as we take you around the grounds for Uber Reserve. The karaoke should go on to video podcast so we can have a laugh during the week from Martin in Canberra. Greg here. I'm singing along laughing at you all. Another great show. Thank you, Greg. Emma writes, I can see Gal in the leather pants singing that one. Thank you for that.

Ireland's in the stream. A great BGs written soon. How good are the BGs from Greg at Richmond? And Levy giving tips on who does the female and male part when he thinks Danny DeVito was the main act. Yeah, Danny Zuko I was thinking about. Thank you for that. Keyboard warriors everywhere. Can I have a blab? Can I have a blab? Why are you blowing up? Of course you can. How the hell have the Broncos got the ball?

They've penalised Charles Newcock for coming across and trying to make that tackle. Seriously. Was it a shoulder charge? No, but I don't think it was. I don't think it was a shoulder charge. What do you think, Big Man? I wasn't really looking at the tackle. I was looking at him trying to get the ball down, to be really honest with you. Seriously. Well, the Broncos have the ball three metres away from the Warriors' line. 16-6 Warriors lead Brisbane. Now, just before we move on, this story popped up during the week, well, yesterday, by Paul Crawley. Wayne Bennett unloading on the overall unfairness in the standard of

NRL refereeing in the bunker while calling on a dramatic overhaul on punishment for foul play, including a major revamp of the sin bin and send-off rules. The Dolphins coach says his frustrations about the standard of officiating has been growing, but he decided to speak out because he believed the current system was having too big an impact on too many games. Now, I know, Gail, you've made comments in relation to this in the past. What are your thoughts? Do you support the supercoach?

Yeah, absolutely. I mean, if anyone can make that comment, it's Wayne Bennett. He's been around forever and probably the greatest coach of all time. I blew up the very start of the show about the Sharks last night, and we had someone text messaging about my comments and how I didn't mention the Bulldogs one. Well, that's another example. If he thinks that the Bulldogs were unfairly treated, then he's another example of how ordinary the bunker is going. I totally agree. The on-field referee, I think it's human nature. They will always make mistakes at times. The game is pretty fast.

They played at a lot of pace with plenty of pressure out there. So there's going to be some issues there. But when they go to the bunker, when they've got time to sit there and watch it and repeatedly watch it in this million-dollar bunker they have with screens everywhere, to get it wrong, as blatantly wrong as they did last night, the one I'm talking about and the one this Dogs man's talking about, it's not good enough. And I do agree with Wayne Bennett. I think the stand of it.

has dropped there wouldn't be another industry in the world where you can make as many mistakes as they make and still keep your job Darryl what about in terms of the send off and sin bin rulings right so what Wayne Bennett was suggesting is that and he's right you can't compete you can't win with 12 men so what he's sort of implying and suggesting and a few other people have suggested it as well is once a player is sent off

they're down to 12 men for 10 minutes, and then that player's able to be replaced with a bench player. Do you like the idea of that or not? I don't know. I haven't had enough thought to be really honest with you. Look, I'll say this, though. If Wayne Bennett, because he doesn't say a lot about the rules and things like that, he'll sit back and he'll just keep it to himself normally. When he comes out and says something like that, I think they do need to take note of it. I must admit, I did read the...

the article that he wrote, but I didn't read all of it. So I don't know exactly what he was saying, but I understand if he's saying there's no room for the send-off anymore, I need to just have a think about that a little bit more. I personally think there is room for a send-off. What about you? Hang on, Gal. Fergo, your turn. Yeah, I like it. I think it works really well in rugby union and the fact that that play is taken out of the rest of the game. Think about how much that would have changed

the origin game one particularly in big games in big moments when it's crucial like that let's be fair like it ruined the game it stuffed the game I'm sure people kept watching it but there

there was no way New South Wales were ever going to win that game. And it changes that. So I think it takes the player that's well and truly in the wrong out of the equation. They're still down a man for a portion of the game. But yeah, then they're allowed to bring someone else on. And it counts as an interchange. Yeah, but it also takes away... Let's say, for example, you go out to...

intentionally do it. You pick someone in the side, you go out and take out their best player, their key player. Their player can't come back on the field either. So I still think there's a place in the game for Sendles. If you blatantly go to take someone out on purpose and you take him out of the game, then off for the game. I don't have no problem with that. See, if you go out and take someone out and you replace them after 10 minutes, you just go take their best player out. Just pick some nuffy who's a bit mad, go take out their halfback and all of a sudden he's gone for the game. Yeah, I think I'm with Gal on this. I don't like the idea of someone being

You know, say really, say main or something, and someone set off for it, right? I mean, you're going to target the best player, if that's the case, and maybe take your chances, you know, send your biggest nuffie out there to take him out, your worst player to take out their best. I think that's, you know, they wouldn't do that. Of course they would. Of course they would. They'd do it. So Sinby in 10 minutes. I don't like it.

send off 20 but after 20 minutes an interchange player can come on and replace them so you can go back to 30. Look, I think it's worth discussion. I just think the threshold for a send off these days has been lowered to a point where too many people are being sent off for things that probably don't deserve sending off. Um,

But, look, if we want to protect the quality of the product and everything else, I think it's worthy of a discussion. But I just hope that we get everybody's input before the commission actually makes the decision. We need some rugby league minds to have a closer look at it like you guys. I think Bennett's the perfect example of it. I mean, he's the voice of reason, I think. He doesn't say too much.

But when he says something, I think we're entitled to listen. Yeah, absolutely. He's said it all. He's been around for a long time. Absolutely. Well, that's the reason why I wanted to raise it because, like you say, when Wayne Bennett suggests something like this, it is worthy of a debate. 131873, the number. 0460 873873. 15 gone in the second half. 16 points to 10. Warriors lead Brisbane. 16-10, Warriors leading Brisbane as we take you around the grounds.

I just had a message through from Matt Thompson. He's been having, I'm assuming he's calling the game tomorrow at Penrith for nine. He's just had a quick look at the team sheets and we're being told that Brian Todd, Jerome Luai, Liam Martin and Dylan Edwards will all be rested from the clash with the Cowboys. But Isaiah Yeo will back up from origin. The Cowboys have already announced their six players will all be rested. So that's in relation to tomorrow's game, which you'll see on nine and you'll hear right here with the continuous call time.

16 points to 10 Warriors leading Brisbane. That's after 17 minutes of play in the second half and it's a good time to reserve your Uber ride for tonight's game with Uber Reserve. Reserve now, ride later with Uber Reserve. 16-10 Warriors lead Brisbane as we take you around the grounds. Clue number three in the Saturday quiz for the $150 Lowe's digital gift card. I'm an important part

of the Newcastle Knights back line. I'm an important part of the Newcastle Knights back line.

You'll win yourself a $150 Lowe's digital gift card. Now, team, Mike Pearce was a colleague of ours who has been heard this year on the Continuous Call team. He'll be hosting the program, I think it's next Saturday night, he told me,

which is great news. And he's been a rugby league player himself in the lower grades, been attached to the Glebe Dirty Reds. And of course, their home game is Wentworth Park, which is also the home of the Wentworth Park Greyhounds of a Saturday night. And for the first time in Australian history, rugby league and greyhound racing is today coming together on the same bill as the part of the inaugural Wente Park Super Saturday. There are three games of footy and a full greyhound race meet today.

Plus the first ever, Darryl, this is right up your alley. Yes. The Glebe Dirty Reds pie eating competition. The winner will walk away with a year's supply of Garlow's pies, big man. Oh, that's a beautiful prize because that's worth millions. Would you be a chance? How many pies do you reckon that is? Well, it's hard to say. I mean, it depends how hungry you are. If I was particularly hungry, I would have a crack. I reckon I could eat.

Six or seven. It depends on the time limit. I was about to say, do we know the rules? Is there a time limit? Well, Michael knows. Well, let's find out. Mike Pearsall from the Continuous Call team. He's down at Wentworth Park running the show at the moment. Hello, Mike. Yeah.

Yeah, it's a very good afternoon, team. Yeah, I can tell you there are some interesting rules here. So obviously I know you guys like to get through your Gallo's pies on a Saturday and Sunday, but we've actually got the mini pies here today. So Jackson Garlick, the general manager and son of Sean Garlick, he's provided the goods today. So they're mini pies and they're going to be served on a plate of three at a time. And basically they've got, I think it's three minutes of the heats we're going to have. So they're going to have three minutes to smash as many plates of these mini pies as they can. That's fun. Get the

big man down there. You would smash that. What are you doing here? That's an imp in your element. Yeah, I don't like to have a time limit on how many I can eat. You know, I'd like to make it over half an hour just to make a bit of interest. I still reckon over three minutes you'd nail six minimum. Easy. You're an idiot. I'd get a dozen in. Yeah, that's what I mean. Is there a financial benefit to this? Have you got to chew them or can you just swallow them? LAUGHTER

It doesn't matter. You've just got to get them down, Daryl. I saw Arthur Beetson take two bites of a normal pie and it was gone. So with one of the littler pies from Garlow's, how long would it take you to get one of them down? Well, I haven't tried a pie eating competition. There'd be a technique to it. Actually, I might have in the footy show years ago.

It was at Garlows, actually, many years ago, Mike. So the technique, I think I would bite half the pie and chew it and then go the other half. I don't think I'd throw it all in one go. Mike, out of interest, down there at Wentworth Park, and we promoted this yesterday on The Breakfast Show, and hopefully a few people entered via the website and everything else. Are we talking big units or are we talking about, you know, fit specimens who are going to give this a crack?

I think there's a bit of a mixed bag. So we've got a few of the Glebe Dirty Reds players who are involved. Now we've got, I believe, Kane Evans, of course, of former NRL fame. He'll be entering. I think Dean Farray, who's a new signing, he's hanging around. And there's a few punters getting involved as well who look like they've seen a pie or two in their time.

time i'd be back in the big man's alley so yeah i know you've got the footy to call it five big mom which is a shame because you were talking tactics and i spoke with uh with jackson garlic earlier today he was telling me generally with these things you can just go ham and just stuff them in your mouth as best you can or you can take it a little more tactically and take the half bites uh you know to see just pace yourself a bit more i suppose but it's i'm going i'm interested i'm calling it so i'm going to be very interested to see how it plays out and what strategy our

punters go for this evening. There's also going to be a novelty race as well, I believe. A little curtain raiser. We're going to have some retired greyhounds entering, taking on some of the kids here as well. So we'll have some of the kids. How far is the race going to be?

I'll back the retired greyhounds. No, no, not a race. I mean a pie-eating competition between the kids. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I should be more clear with that one. You know what? I think, Mike, you've just come up with a great idea for next year. Why don't we get Kane, Evans, Dean, Farray and Muzzles. We'll leave them to the boxers. We'll stuff them in the box and then they can chase the lure. They might be able to come out if they have too many pies. LAUGHTER

Well, you know what? And I said this yesterday, Mike. I love it when sporting clubs try different things to attract people through the gates. And I mean, what's the crowd been like this afternoon? Have you got a few people along to watch?

Yeah, well, as we said, there's been a few games of footy here. So we've had a pretty decent crowd to come and watch the Jersey flag and the Ron Massey Cup and then the Roosters with a big upset over the Newtown Jets and New South Wales Cup. So we've had the punters, the diehards. We've had a few NRL players bumping around. I think I saw Mitchell Pierce before and Craig Fitzgibbon and Trent Robinson were here as well watching the lower grades. So there's been quite a few people and there's a few people hanging around for the Gallows Pie Eating Competition. And then, of course, we'll have the Dish Ligger Fanatics reenactment

rolling through the gates very soon because that kicks off at six o'clock. So I would say if anyone's still interested to come get involved, plenty of spots still open in the pie eating competition. We start at five o'clock down here at Wentworth Park. And yeah, it's going to be a great event, boys. Great job, Mike. That's Mike Pearsall from our newsroom. He's a former Glebe Dirty Red and he'll be emceeing things down there this afternoon. Wentworth Park pie eating competition for the Glebe Dirty Reds, big man. You know, I'm just thinking on the run here and I've got to...

I've got a sick mind. They made the pies really, really hot. Imagine trying to eat them. If they're stinking hot. Yeah, if they're too hot, you burn your mouth. They're just warm. It's just open slather. You know, if they're warm, you could get rid of a dozen in three minutes, couldn't you, the little ones? No, not a dozen. Of course you could. I don't know how little they are. Haven't you seen the little galos once? Just like party pies. Yeah, right on. You'd 100% be able to eat a dozen. Do you remember Greg Drake? Remember the old footy player Greg Drake from Parramatta? Mm.

He used to be a coach out at Winn. He was one of the biggest men I've ever seen. He used to eat a meat pie. It used to look like a chocolate biscuit in his hand. It used to be two bites of the whole meat pie. Really? Hold it like that. What? Straight out. That's ring revolting. My ring rose over down at Winn. He used to get a meat pie and eat it like a biscuit. His hands were so big. Am I the only person thinking about what it's going to look like if these pies come back up? Yeah.

Yeah, you are. I want to thank you for that. If you look at some of the food eating competitions around the world, it can get a bit messy. I was with Big Ben. I was concerned about the heat of them. If they're hot, that could get so hot. They've got to get the right temperature because what about when you have a bite and it burns the roof of your mouth and it blisters and stuff? Jeez, that hurts. Do you put a little bit of sauce on them just to make them taste good as well? I'm not a sauce man on pies. Are you serious? You don't have any sauce? Never.

You know the best way to eat a pie? Straight out of the oven, if you're at home, obviously. Just cut the lid open, put some grated cheese on it.

I'm a barbecue sauce gal, but a bit of barbecue sauce on the top. Put it back on and it melts. It's bloody lush. You know you can buy cheese pies. I know, I know. I'm with you, but I just feel like this way is a bit more easy. You can control the cheese. Jay, you like barbecue sauce. Yeah, I like barbecue sauce. So I'll take the lid off. My son likes barbecue sauce. Three quarters of the way. I'll put grated cheese in it. Lid goes back on. That melts while I do that. I put the barbecue sauce on top.

Bob's your uncle. I can't remember where I was recently, but I had a, it was a beef, mussel and curry pie. So they had the big chunks of beef and the, like the mussel and curry that you get at a Thai restaurant. It was so good. You know,

Unbelievable. I'm a bit weird. I don't particularly like big chunks of meat in my pie. Me neither. I just like the fake stuff. I like just a smooth texture. I don't have to work too hard on eating my pie. As long as the meat's nice and soft and you can chew through it.

I think it's nice. Alright, back around the grounds we do it for Uber Reserve. 22 points to 10. Warriors leading Brisbane. 15 minutes left in the second half. 22 points to 10.

And at 7.35, Melbourne Storm taking on the Canberra Raiders at Amy Park in Melbourne. By the way, congratulations to Geoff at Sandstone Point in Queensland. Geoffrey, you've won the $150 Lowe's digital gift card. The clues today, I've played 280 NRL games at three different clubs throughout my career. I've represented Queensland and Australia. Was the 18th man for the Maroons in State of Origin 2. And I'm an important player.

part of the Newcastle Knights back line? The answer is Dane Gagai and well done to you. Jeff at Sandstone Point in Queensland. $150 Lowe's digital gift card is coming your way. Thanks to the team at Lowe's. Of course they've got over 200 stores nationwide. You can shop online. It's all there at Lowe's. 131873 that number to ring. Where is Sydney? That's it Queensland.

On the continuous call team, the Queensland Report with Peter Persoltis. Queensland's everywhere. Queensland's everywhere.

Well, this is how solid, rock solid our man Peter Basaltis is, the Danny DeVito of rugby league. He is on a little break with his family, but when the call was put through to Little Salty, he said, I would love nothing more than to speak to the continuous call team on this Saturday. Peter Basaltis, a very good afternoon to you.

I was waiting by the phone. Hello, Mark. Hello, everybody. Where are you, little Salty? You've got away with the family, have you? Just a quick couple of days. You told me on Thursday night it was more than a couple. How many? No, too nice. Salty. Salty. So will there be invoice coming for this? No, he's got to spend his cash somewhere. So where are you, Salty? Just a couple of days on the Gold Coast. Hmm.

Beautiful. What part? Yes. Yes. Serpent's Paradise. Why is this so secretive? Is there a little rot going on here or something? It seems that way. I'm not sure. I don't know why everyone's saying, yeah, just a couple of days on the coast. There's a luncheon somewhere. There's a luncheon. Mate, have you taken over for a few years an agent for ASIO or something? It's a covert mission. No, it's just a couple.

of days on the Gold Coast. Salty giggle guts. You know, this might be news to Gal that people actually get online or they ring hotels and book a reservation. They pay for it. They pay for it. He won't be doing that. Salty, you're next in line. I reckon Gal's leading. I'm a pretty close second. You're number three for cashing in, brother. You are number one by a country mile and you know it.

Did I mention, was it last week I saw a wonderful photo of Salty who called the individual try of the season involving the Hammer. Hammer's so taboo, I for don't. They're at the races and Salty's gone up and he's posted the photo of

Well, the Hammer wanted the photo with the man who called the individual try of the season. You are insufferable, Saltman. How good is he? He did want it. He did want it. Now, I will say that was a rort that day. That was a good day. Oh, OK. Well, it's only a rort if you're not involved, Sonny. Now, look, Peter, I don't want to hold you up too long, but obviously we were waxing lyrical earlier this afternoon about the New South Wales Blues on Wednesday night.

We spoke to the New South Wales coach, Michael Maguire. What's the fallout been like for the Queenslanders and what are you expecting in a couple of weeks at Suncorp Stadium in the decider?

Well, here's the thing, Mark, and everyone, people have been talking about, oh, what changes, what changes? Well, there's not too many changes that Queensland can make, particularly in the forwards, because you look at those already who are out, like Thomas Flegler, Tom Gilbert, Tino Fusumala, are we? They're three players, arguably, that would have been...

in the starting forward pack. So there's not too many options. I guess the one that comes to mind, and it's interesting to see what Daryl has to say, is David Fafita. Is he a player that can come in and make an impact? Or is it a case of Billy says, you guys got yourselves into this situation, now get yourselves out of it and there won't be too many changes for Fafita?

for Suncorp. But from a forward point of view, I can only see probably Fafida coming into the team. Yeah, I'm a bit the same, mate. I think he'll come in. I think he's going to have to pick him. He's just a brute, David, for Fafida. I think he can do a job for them and I think he will pick him. I agree. I don't think they'll make too many changes.

I think the question mark might be on Val Holmes, who hasn't had a great season. He didn't have a great game the other night. And we've got Cobbo playing at the moment. He seems to be getting through this game for the Broncos okay and playing well enough. I think there'll be two changes. I think those two will go in Cobbo and Fafita.

What about the other player who, you know, it'll be interesting to see him later tonight. We'll hear him later tonight with the continuous call team. It's Dane Gagai, who was 18th man for game two the other night. We know he's a noted origin player. He could be a smokey to come in to the team as well. Because there's still a lot of conjecture, isn't there, about the circumstances surrounding Cobbo's non-selection in game two. And

if he thought he wasn't up to it and it wasn't a rib injury like many of us thought and it was just a case of Cobbo saying oh no I'm not ready for this well we know one person that's always ready for Origin and that's Dane Gagai yeah but Salty you think

Think about the left edge of New South Wales, particularly Luttrell and Angus Crichton. And obviously Val Holmes didn't necessarily have a blinder. That's the place I'm looking at. I think that's what Big Mark is referring to as well. I'm having Val in the team. I'm not dropping him. No, I'd be putting him on the wing. But Cobbo's a big body. He can physically match it. True.

Yeah, very true. But also, too, Gagai's imposing. But I agree with you that that big body of Cobbo, he's almost, if he's up to it and ready to go, and as Darryl says, he's been playing well in this game, then I think he'll be picked for Suncorp. He's made some really nice breaks in this game against the Warriors. It looks like the Warriors might just get over the top of Brisbane in.

26-16 that score. Warriors leading Brisbane. Eight and a half minutes left in the second half for Uber Reserve. We go to the Thursday night. Look, it was a scrappy game, wasn't it, Salty? A lot of drop ball, a lot of penalties in the rain. We touched on that earlier on. But the Queenslanders, they made a bit of history winning the first three-game women's State of Origin Series.

Yeah, absolutely. And well done to them. I mean, it was one of those performances on Thursday night where everything went as good as it could for Queensland and as bad as it could went for New South Wales. So I thought the Maroons started off really well. And there's one player, and Alana, I don't know whether we spoke too much about her after the game or during the game, but...

I had another look at Ali Brigginshaw's performance, particularly defensively the other night. We know what she does with the ball. She's a great kicker. She kicked the 40-20 and she was brilliant around the park. But I thought the veteran really stood up when it counted on Thursday night, along with Taryn Aitken. The Queensland halves were brilliant. Yeah, Ali does the tough stuff. I think that's why when she moved into lock, she loves defending.

But you're right. Her King game was brilliant. Kicked a lovely 40-20. I just think it's hilarious that you pretended to be Switzerland.

when you're really pumped that Queensland won the first ever three-game series. You are kidding yourself. Hey, hey, hey. You are kidding yourself. I got excited when Jamie Chapman scored. You are kidding yourself, Salty. Salty, you know what's interesting? You said the Lions were bleating last year. It was only a two-game series and they lost it. It would have been better if it was a two-game series this year. You know what's going to be even more interesting? See what Queensland do. I mean, they're Queensland. They pick and stick.

Are you talking about the girls? Nah, I'm talking about the boys now. She's still stewing about that. Shut up, Dad. I'm just laughing. I'm just laughing. They're Queensland. I can't wait to Euro to Panna with Billy in the next couple of weeks. It'll be brilliant. Hey, Salty, Shane at Budgerums wanted to congratulate the local council on the Gold Coast and the mayor. Is it Tom Tate still? It sounds like a big secret that Salty's been working as a meter maid again on the Gold Coast. Jeez, you'd be one of the hairiest meter maids I've ever had on the coast, Salty.

Oh, dear, oh, dear. No, that's not a sight for anybody. He was a meter man. He was like one of those... Don't they call them the angels up there? They do the... Yeah.

Mate, when times were tough, you know, and Soli had his second child, he subsequently had his radio income by getting down to the Gold Coast from time to time. He'd walk around in his boardies and a rash shirt and a bucket cap. He had a fair bit of manscaping done as well. He would have had to have had manscaping everywhere. How many tips you get? But the problem was, Gal, it was every hour they had to stop for a bit of manscaping. Can you confirm or deny, Soli? You're telling the story. That's confirmation. LAUGHTER

Isn't that how you meet the lovely Penelope? Two metre maids meeting in the night, no. No, no, no, she was trying to pay for a parking. You walked up and said, let me help you with that.

Love at first sight. We can work something out. Oh, my goodness. How's the weather? All good? Yeah, it's good, thanks. Salty, enjoy the rest of your break, mate. Thanks, guys. Great to chat. Anybody you need to thank, Novatel or... I already paid. Yes, leave me. What, you paid full freight?

Yeah, paid full freight. Unbelievable. He got a free pass to Dreamworld and everything else, though. He's all over Tripp and Deal. You know what I should have done? I'll tell you what I should have done is what Alana Ferguson is the world's best at. Whenever she opens a hotel room, she just happens to be filming on the phone and shows the whole room. Salty, I work with Accor.

So that's what I did at the Pullman because they upgraded me. But why do you do it when you stay at Hotel X in Brisbane and why do you do it when you stay everywhere else? I think you'll find I've never done it at Hotel X. However, you know what? Oh, okay. It's an idea. You've planted the seed now, Salvi. But I will get my

Well, I'm glad you mentioned Accor Hotels, which is great to have All.com on board as a sponsor of the continuous call team, and Accor forms part of the All.com group. So, Saldy, brilliant stuff. I look forward to seeing your sponsored posts. I am staying at an Accor property. We get to the bottom of the rott, ladies and gentlemen. This is brilliant.

It must be tough up in the honeymoon suite. You've got plenty to learn, Salty. I'll send you a message later. Oh, no. All right. See you, Salty. And look, just a word of warning, folks. If you're walking along the beach tomorrow morning on the Gold Coast out for your morning exercise and you see a big hairy man lying on the beach, just say, Salty, great call of the Hammers Trial the other week, champion. 30 points to 16. Warriors lead Brisbane. Four and a half minutes left, second half. We do it for Uber Reserve. You're listening to the Continuous Call, Tames.

Back around the grounds, Uber Reserve, two and a half minutes to play in the second half. Warriors 30, Brisbane 16. 30 points to 16, the Warriors lead Brisbane. Mark Levy, Alana Ferguson, Daryl Broman and Paul Gallon. Now it's time for PointsBet's new NRL experience. What's gambling really costing you?

For free and confidential support, visit gamblinghelponline.org.au. Well, it pays to follow this man. Same game, Maltese, ladies and gentlemen. State of origin on Wednesday night, George Rose. He got another beauty up at about $10. We'll find out what he's got for us today. But, of course, Newcastle, $1.85. Parramatta, $1.95. And, George Rose, as we say good afternoon to you. We've got a sellout at McDonald Jones Stadium. Who are you tipping in this one?

Well, look, I can't go against the Knights when they've got a sellout at McDonald Jones. I think this is one of them games where you're almost tossing the coin which way you're going, though. The Knights have been unimpressive of late. The Eels, they've had a terrible season in all. But it's...

You'd like to see the Knights get up with a crowd like that. Well, just on the game itself, team news is through. Dylan Lucas is out of the Newcastle side. So Kai Pierce-Paul makes his return from a toe injury in the back row. Matt Croker joins the bench. Leo Thompson is out with an inflamed Achilles. Daniel Saifidi goes to the front row. Jack Hetherington to the bench.

And for the Eels, Makaheshi Makatoa will start in the front row with Junior Paolo moving to the bench. And the clash is a sellout. So that's the team news on the Knights and the Eels. What about your same game multi, George? Because every time we get you on, I inevitably get text messages and emails saying, Mark, can you recap the same game multi? Because there are plenty of punters out there with points bet who are following your lead, George. What have you got for us this afternoon?

Yeah, well, look, I'm hoping I can get them a win. I think in these close games, you've always got to go for a smokey for an anytime try scorer. So I've got total match points over 47.5. Neither of these teams can defend. There should be a heap. I've got Adam Elliott. He's my smokey for anytime try scorer. And I've got Marju as well, anytime try scorer. All right, so total match points...

Over 47.5. Adam Elliott, any time try scorer. Greg Margeau, any time try scorer. You'll get odds according to the team at points. But $13.32. So 13 bucks about a three-leg same-game multi with George Rose and points bet. Good on you, George. We'll catch up tomorrow, mate. And you enjoy the footy on this Saturday night.

You have a great night, boys. Good on you, mate. There he is, George Rose from Pointsbet. You win some, you lose more. For free and confidential support, visit gamblinghelponline.org.au. It's just gone full-time up the wars, the sign says, and they've beaten Brisbane by 32 points to 16. The Warriors over Brisbane, 32-16. A break, back with more.

Fergo, before you depart the studio, I better get your tips for tonight. We do that for McDonald's, one of our wonderful sponsors. Newcastle Parramatta, the Knights 12th, the Eels in 17th position. Knights obviously favourites. Who do you like in this one? You know what? I tip the Eels for this. I don't know. I don't know if I'm... Whispering Ted Lowe. Well, I just... I'm not very confident in my tip, but I just thought that, you know, obviously Gatho's playing, but Mitch Moses...

He's definitely still playing, isn't he? Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. I'll stick with it. I did tip the Eels. And then the next game is Melbourne Storm, Raiders. I went Melbourne Storm. Jerome Hughes is the key for me. Yeah. He's unbelievable. I'm a huge fan of Jerome Hughes. He probably doesn't get the raps that he deserves, Jerome. He doesn't, but he's an absolute gun. By the way, Cameron Munster, I was broadcasting from Melbourne this week. Isn't he a cheeky bugger? Oh, yeah. He's a ripper.

For Queensland, I really like him. Don't get me wrong. I love the bloke, but he's a cheeky bugger. Yeah, of course. He's a real character. I actually said to him, I said, mate, you keep being you. You've got a future in the media after 40. Well, exactly. He's done a couple of things with us over the last couple of Origin games. I reckon he's been really good. Very nice and a very good bloke to meet. And he was a bit cheeky with Origin and everything else, but the Blues had the last laugh, so that was the main thing. Good on you, Fergo. You've been brilliant. We'll catch you on the telly over the weekend, and you'll be back with us in the next few weeks. Cheers, legends.

There you are, Alana Ferguson, part of the continuous call team. On the way to the break, there's nothing more exciting than going to the footy with minutes to go. The players are switched on. There's a huddle in the locker room. The coach gives one last pep talk as the players get their game faces on. They then run onto the field to the roar and excitement of the crowd. That's everything you'll experience when you get to a game on time. Here's the play.
