Now, live, right across Australia, the continuous cold team. Ball will be played, 15 in from touch, western side, now it's with Schneider, he goes on to Luai, Luai dummy, he goes himself on, Luai, he's a magician, he slides through the defence,

And Luai scores the try. With Mark Levy, Daryl Broman, Mark Riddell and Neil Breen. Can I tell you about the Vietnamese bakery? And the same lady's been there the whole time. She's never, ever in my life have I seen her ring anything up on the till other than 0.00. So you pay five bucks for your bread rolls, you get your change. Are you saying it's a rort? I'm just saying. You say she's cash only. Why are you dumping bread?

We'll be right back.

If you'd like to come to a long lunch with the Continuous Call team, what should we start the bidding off? $1,000? Yeah, I think $1,000 is a nice starting point. All right, $1,000, that's the opening bid, folks. You know what? We're going to throw in as well. We're going to throw in a parking spot as well. Listen, can you drop off? There's parking there. Levy will valet park. Listen, you and you need to stop. You're a grump. Where did the whole park go?

I don't know, but me and Big Bud just know that it irks you. It irks me. Because you're buying into the rubbish you can peddle. Valet parking. Throw it in as well. The continuous call team, thanks to Macca's, Harvey Norman, Lowe's, Ram Trucks, Uber, Brydon's Lawyers, First Choice Liquor, Karcher, 1-800-GOT-JUNK, Castrol, Duck's Hot Water and Westpac. You know what? I've only got one word for you that keeps me regular.

Lacks sense. I got a box of them in my drawer. A box of what? A tablet? What are they? Chocolate lolly things. What, do you just munch on them every night? No, I have them when I'm feeling a little bit... I'm ready to top deck. When he said he had a box of them, I'm thinking you must have had... What are those things? Depositories?

Magic cleaner, not Nappy. I think he must just have to shelve them. Can you get suppositories over the counter? Probably he can't. No, he can't reach. Well, I've got my sleep apnea machine on as well. Oh, God.

Oh, God almighty. What a sight. What a sight. A hell of an issue. What about Piggy? What about Piggy? And he wonders why Darling wants him to sleep in another room. Laxatives to sleep at the suppositories. Where do you think I get the laxatives from? LAUGHTER

And now on 2GB Sydney, 4BC Brisbane and network stations across Australia, it's time for the Continuous Call Team. Ah, yes, good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome along to the Continuous Call Team as the countdown continues.

to State of Origin 2 on Wednesday night at the MCG in Melbourne where the Queensland Maroons can wrap up a third straight series victory but of course standing in their way the New South Wales Blues who are prepared to do whatever it takes to set up a decider in Brisbane. They've even got the suspended Joseph Akuso Suoliti training against them at fullback to mimic the Queensland poster boy Reece Walsh

The headlines in the Sydney papers today suggest Mitchell Moses is the chosen one who will guide the New South Wales team to victory. While in Queensland, Pat Carrigan has been hailed the Maroons' chief destroyer who will break the spirit of the Blues. The other story relating to origin is the treatment of Hudson Young, who's been dropped for game two with Canberra coach and Blues origin great Ricky Stewart slamming the New South Wales Rugby League's treatment of the front rower as disgraceful.

After playing only 22 minutes in the series opener in Sydney, Young's been dumped with Sticky saying it's either the wrong decision to pick him or if you want loyalty and passion for the jumper, you've got to show a bit too. I'm sure we'll talk more about that this afternoon along with some of the other Origin news. We'd love to hear from you, of course. So 131873. You can email us via the website. You can text us as well, 046013.

873-873. In the footy this afternoon, the West Tigers will be chasing back-to-back wins when they host the Canberra Raiders at Campbelltown. I note Adam Dewey's been named in Benji Marshall's starting side, which indicates he's in line to make his return to the NRL. Stefano Yutokamane, who's come out today to assure Tigers fans that he won't be leaving the club before season's end, but he might not be there next season.

While in the three games played yesterday, the Gold Coast secured its biggest victory in the club's history by thumping the Warriors 66-6. Gerard Skelton pulled off the hit of the season. Junior Pauker was given his marching orders for a nasty tackle as the Roosters beat Canterbury 26-8 in Gosford. And South Sydney kept its slim finals hopes alive with a 14-0 win over Manly at Olympic Park.

with Damien Cook breaking his silence today on the decision to sign with the Dragons by admitting he was angry and disappointed when Souths refused to extend his contract. That's enough from me. Let's welcome the continuous call team on this Sunday. Daryl Bryman, fresh from a big birthday celebration yesterday. Mark Piggy-Riddell and Neil Breen. Big man, afternoon to you. I've still got the taste of that beautiful chocolate cake from yesterday. It was delicious. It was beautiful. Andrew got it from somewhere. I don't know where he got it from, but it was magnificent.

magnificent and i did well ho into it in a big way it was good stuff you served it up well big bun well it was a bit sloppy it was hard to cut it and get it out it was a more like a moosey type thing but a thick moose i love a thick moose yeah do you love thick moose it was nice thick moose very nice favorite food nice and thick taste beautiful presentation yeah i didn't present it very well but that just gave me more to eat it was fantastic very great to be here uh

Okay, Day of Footy. Yes, I thought I'd think any game to that grade. I suppose the Titans are the big talking point, beating the Warriors 66-6. That's incredible, really, isn't it? I mean, they were on the bottom of the ladder, I think. And given the fact today the Tigers are playing the Raiders, and I must admit I haven't looked at the ladder, I would imagine the Tigers, if they do lose today, probably go back to the tail of the ladder. So...

I think it's an interesting game, though. To be brutally honest, I'm really looking forward to it. The Raiders on the back of a loss last week, they look pretty strong to me. The Raiders and the Tigers don't look super strong, but sometimes, you know, you have that one win, even though it was a bit scrappy and probably a bit lucky to beat the Titans last week.

It just gives them a bit of confidence, the Tigers, and I think they'll go in reasonably confident. They're playing at Campbelltown, so they've got a bit going their way. It'll be an interesting game, and I'm really looking forward to calling it with you, Levy, who I'm going to call. You are, I think, the most promising young caller in the game now, without a doubt.

Without a doubt. Would you agree with that, Piggy? I do agree with that. He's doing a great job. Is there a stitch-up coming here or something? Yeah, I'm waiting for something as well. Mr Honesty, I've chased my... Oh, I can't. Well, thank you, Darrell. You two have become bosom buddies, haven't you? Well, we haven't become bosom buddies. We just agree on a lot of things. Yesterday... Excuse me, I stood in solidarity with a big man yesterday because you and Gal were idiots with some of the things you said, but I also wanted to stand with Darrell because it was his birthday. So you're with him today or you haven't decided yet? No, I'm not with him today.

No, because I'm already off you, Blakes. You and you and you, Breeny, are trying to stitch me up. Because you're running an over-unders market because I'm filling in for Ben Fordham. That's two. Nine and a half. So these three, we're out there warming up. They've gone, oh, yes, we'll throw him a market over-unders. How many times have you mentioned he's got breakfast in the morning? What time are you going to get up?

No, drop off. What about all your staff? Are they with you? Is your staff with you? I don't have a staff. You've got to be solid, big man. I don't have a staff. I'm the fill-in. I'm just there to fill the seat for Ben. You should bring your own staff. What are you showing me? I haven't mentioned it three times. It's come up three times in the last minute. No, it hasn't. Overs and unders, nine and a half. You've got a big couple of weeks. Yeah, and then we get into the Olympics. Oh.

Oh, we need to frame the market. Frame the Olympic market, big man. Are you going to the Olympics? Jeezy blokes are hard. Are you going to the Olympics? No, Ray and Matt Hill will be over at the Olympics. Ben will be there and I'm going to run it all from back here. You'd just go ape over in France. Would I? It's a great place. A lot of chicks over there, mate. Yeah, I don't like travelling though, Daryl.

When you cover the Olympics, there's not a lot of... Leave early. Stay in the village. Busy, busy, busy. Mate, look, I'm telling you, are you telling me the commentators in the past who have gone to the Olympics, there's no... No, I'm not suggesting that, but I'm saying when you're doing 14, 15 hours on air, the last thing you want to do is go out and party, unless you're our great mate Davey, who in Beijing, we would go past him at the bar after 14 hours and be, ladies!

I said, Dave, I've got to go to bed, mate. I've had a big day. It's my first Olympics. Well, this will be like down in Melbourne on Wednesday because we're going down Wednesday and staying the night, of course. Yeah. Have you got to work the next morning? Yes, I do. Oh, there's a shame. We'll have to go out. Put that down. That's number four. I think he's going down a day earlier. Are you going down a day earlier? By preparation? Yes.

Why are you going down the day earlier? So I can have a sleep before I go to the footy. Otherwise I'll be very cranky on the Wednesday night. Anyway, that's enough of me. Moving on to you, Piggy. You know how you revved up the St. George Illawarra Dragons leading into Anzac Day? Yes. Given what you've told us about your youngest boy, Big Willis, talking to Francis Molo and asking him whether he's going to have a dig for the Dragons in the past, is it true Big Willis is putting up his hand for Michael Maguire as the rev-up?

The hype man for the Blues on Wednesday night? No, I don't think he'll need to do that at all. He is excited, though. He's very excited. They're very excited, both of them, about Origin on Wednesday night. So they're looking forward to it. I've got a new nickname for Big Willis. What have you got for him? He's Glass Houses. He's Glass Houses.

They're out fishing today. They're out fishing. They're out fishing. Well, it's actually, well, it was nice down our way this morning. There's no rain. It was sun. Sun was out. So they'd gone fishing with their cousins for the day. Do they have any trouble, like, putting the bait on? What do they use? They're pretty good. Please don't tell me they use different bait to try and catch different fish. Well, they use lures, big man.

Soft plastics, they use lures, all that. They don't worry about the bait too much. Fish must be stupid. Well, they've grown up with it, our kids. They've grown up fishing, so they sort of know. You know every animal in the world has a sense of smell. Fish live underwater, right? That's right. Do they have a sense of smell? Do they smell a worm when it's swimming around near them? Well, they can sense blood in the water and things like that. But that's not smelling.

No, I'm just saying they can sense it. They pick up the sense of it. They'll be able to pick it. Well, why else would you use Burley? And you actually can buy soft plastics that have got a coating of fish oil or whatever. Smelling stuff on there. Really? Yeah. So fish can smell? Well, I'm assuming so.

Do you think this needs to be investigated further? I've only just thought of it. It's only early. We've only just started the intro. I'm wondering if fish are stupid enough to bite on a plastic lure. Well, they are.

I guarantee you that. They are, because they see it in the water. They don't make the decision. They see it and go bang. Darrell, I was with you yesterday. I'm against you here. Of course they're going to bite the plastics. Have you seen how many lures get sold by Shimano and all the different fishing companies? No. They wouldn't be selling them otherwise. How many? They're unbelievable. Millions. Yeah, it's so much easier. Because you've got all the different types of lures, different colours, different little moves in the water. Different sizes, different way they move. They put different sort of fish.

Sorry, I'm getting questions from every angle here. You first. Do you have a favourite lure? I'm not a massive lure guy. The kids are. I'm more old school. Pilchards? Yeah, pillies, prawns, all that sort of stuff. Pillies? Yeah. Pillies? Yeah. Squid? Squid?

Squid predominantly. Only because it stays on your hook longer. Chips. Throw a few chips on there. What about beech worms? Beech worms. Can you catch them? For the whiting. Yeah, they're very difficult. It's very difficult. I can get them. Can you? With the pillies, rubbing it on the bag or on the sand. Using my fingers. What about those pups? You still use those pups? Yeah, he used them in the old days. Yeah, for sure. I'm anti-beach fisherman. What?

Why? I'm anti them. Oh, here we go. Go and fish off a wharf. Don't fish on a beach. Why? Mate, as long as they're out of the way, there's fine. Mate, when I go down to Shalhaven Edge and I want to go and duck into the surf after I've had a big night the night before. Well, just swim somewhere where the fishermen are. You go and fish somewhere else. Shalhaven Edge is on Seven Mile Beach. I think there's enough beach for everyone to go and fish somewhere else. Don't fish near the flag. Did I say to you I would doubt whether you're a good swimmer?

I'm a great swimmer. You should be between the flags. I was between the flags. No, I don't think you were. Well, the bloke's not fishing between the flags. He was fishing next to the flags. Otherwise, he'd roll him back out. Yeah.

Listen, the fisherman, because I blew up, as I always do. Oh, God. This is the bakery story again. This is Mr. Australia. He said to me, no, I'm fishing in the channel. I said, well, go and fish another bloody channel. That's the channel, yeah. Well, why was the channel next to the flag? Well, as long as he's not fishing in the flag. I'm anti-beach fisherman. Oh, come on. Why do you catch off a beach anyway?

Flathead. Whiting. Brim. You can get Taylor, get out beyond the break. Taylor. Go and get a boat. You've lost it. Mate, fishing off a beach. I'm not with you, Leevy. It's a living crisis and you're saying go and get a boat. Mate, this poor bloke goes down. What an elitist. He's trying to catch fish, trying to catch his dinner for his family. He probably eats it raw, eats the guts out of it. And you're into him. How dare you. Uses the boats to pick his teeth at the end. Yeah.

You know why he's talking about boats? Because of the lack of parking at Pronto. That's how they're getting home. We're off to a break. Back with more. Neil Breen, Darrell Broman, Mark Riddell, Mark Levy, the Continuous Call team. 131873 is the number. 2GB.com, 4BC.com.au. Just before we get back into it, quick update on what happened last night.

Match Review Committee charge sheet. Brydon's Lawyers protecting your future when winning is all that matters. You need Brydon's Lawyers on your side. Big Man, I know you've got an opinion on the tackle from Junior Pauker. The reckless high tackle, grade two was the charge he's facing. Five weeks, four weeks on the sidelines with an early plea for the tackle on Contrast. I thought it was a send-off. Well, he said that in the call.

I'm just thinking, I don't, I'm a bit torn here. I'm not thinking, I'm thinking whether five weeks is too long for that tackle or not.

I don't know. Originally, I thought, geez, I think that's a long time for a tackle like that. You know, but we keep going back to the Reece Walsh one in State of Origin, I suppose, and you compare it to that one. I actually don't think that was as bad a tackle as the Reece Walsh one, but I might be wrong. 131873. What do you think, Pete?

Yeah, look, I'm okay with four weeks. I think they'll take the early guilty plea. I think so too. I said it on Friday night. I don't know who at Parramatta thought it was a good idea to go to the judiciary with. I didn't know about that. So what they did, they told the NRL, we're going to the judiciary for that dangerous throw. For a downgrade. A downgrade. But they were going to the judiciary. And then on the day of the judiciary, they said, oh no, we'll put in a no contest. We copped five weeks. Instead of four for the early guilty plea. And because he's got an injury, it's going to be out for four weeks anyway. I'm thinking, what?

I reckon in the charge sheet that came through, Sam Walker got a fine for that one on Jacob Karras'

I reckon he's lucky to get a week for that. I know Karras came back on his inside, but he jumped in the air and his eyes were right on his head. He collared him right in the face. He's probably lucky he's had no priors, but he got careless instead of reckless. That helps. That helps him. But I think if you look at his face in the replays,

He was worried in that moment. He thought, geez, I've collared this bloke. The other players to cop fines, Murata Niokore, careless high tackle, Tamari Martin, dangerous contact, Jaden Campbell, dangerous contact, Roger Tuovar, Sasek, dangerous throw, Sam Walker, who Brini's mentioned, Carl Lawton, dangerous contact, and Jack White.

for a careless high tackle. So that's the information there. DP brings us an injury update. Sean Johnson hamstring injury. Andrew Webster said he wasn't sure of the severity but he's a chance of facing the Broncos next week. Connor Tracy category one symptoms so he'll miss next week's clash against his former club the Sharks. Bronson Cherry will be back from a hamstring injury and Ben Hornby's revealed the

after the game, Campbell Graham and Tyrone Munro are unlikely to feature for the rest of the season due to respective sternum and collarbone injuries. Gee, that's a blow for South Sydney Piggy, in particular for Campbell Graham. Oh, Campbell Graham. They haven't had him all year, have they? Like, the original plan, wasn't it, to have both him and Jack Whiten in the centres, you know, and it's just all falling apart for the Bunnies. But I'll say now, so well done to Benny Hornby and the Bunnies. They've had four on the trot now, I think, so...

A bit of form and a few players back into the team. They're going to worry a few sides. They're going to be a pain in the bum. No, but they're going to be a pain in the backside, aren't they? They get Luttrell back, you know, and they've probably got a couple of others missing there as well. They get a couple of them back. They're going to create some problems. It's always a worry when after a game you start saying, oh, there's still a mathematical chance of playing the finals when there's still seven rounds left. Levy, you know Campbell Graham. He hasn't done a ball work session.

Not one. Really? Like, that's unbelievable. He's just been in rehab. He's not touched a football. Yeah, he's been in rehab because he can't aggravate. What did he do? Sternum. He's had sternum surgery. But didn't they try to get away with it without the surgery and he went through the whole off-season? And then they had to have it done. Then he had to. So he could have actually, you know.

Saved himself a lot of time. And on Adam Dewey playing this half, he's had three knee reconstructions? Yeah. Geez, that's a lot. Wow. He's a good fellow. I had him on Wide World Sports this week. He's terrific. And I actually said to him, I said, I can't imagine not only physically but mentally what you've been through. And I said, was there a point there where you thought, you know, I just can't do this anymore. I'm just going to have to go and find a job. And he said, no, anyone that knows me knows that I'm determined.

And I've always been determined to get back on the football field. So good luck to him. If he does play this afternoon, we'll obviously have to wait until an hour before kickoff. Welcome back to the NRL, Adam Dewey. Three recos. Are you ready for a trivia question for you three? I'm going to put you all on the spot. No looking. Is this Jewel for Fuel? Is this normal? Is this the new Stump the Grump? No, it's not a Stump the Grump. Well, it is a bit like a Stump the Grump. It is a little bit. But I'm putting you three in the hot seat. Now...

You appear on television regularly. This is you, Greeny, right? Yep. How do you spell Dewey? D-O-U-E-H-I. Correct. No. Incorrect. D-O-U-E-I-H-I. Yes! Yay! That's amazing! I wouldn't have known how to spell. I wouldn't have put that I in there either, Greeny. Well, it's actually not Dewey. It's Dewey-he. Oh, come on. Dewey-he.

Who said that? Well, one of his... Well, his parents did. His parents did. And then he said to everyone, just call me Dewey, it's easier. It's the same as my nephew Moses. He's actually my bi. But he said, oh, it's just easy if everyone calls me Ambi. Don't worry about it.

Well, what's his name? Dan Ganane on Foxy says goodbye. What a shame, mate. This is a blaggy to say, m'bye. M'bye. And a Ducks hot water ladder update built stronger to last longer. The Roosters move into fourth on 20 points. Bulldogs stay in sixth on 18 points, while Manly remain in 11th on 17 points. Warriors 13th on 15, one spot ahead of the Rabbitohs, and then the Titans in 15 points.

in 15th position. Now, time to check in with the Queensland Origin team. Josh Hanna is their assistant coach and I'm pleased to say he's on the line. G'day, Josh. Hey, good afternoon, guys. Lovely to catch up as always, mate. Are you still in Queensland? Have you made your way to Melbourne and how's the week been?

No, still in sunny Queensland. We will break camp tomorrow to go to Melbourne. Been a really smooth camp so far. We had Jeremiah Nenoy took it easy in the first couple of days. He just picked up a

minor leg injury out of their game against the Raiders but so predictable Josh so predictable come on head come on mate he's overcome that though mate he's so yeah it's been a really good preparation and you know we can't we'll have no excuses

Josh, what about the preparation? Only a couple of changes there with Felice Caffuzzi. I know he played, but him coming into the team on the bench and then Kirk Capewell, how have they settled in?

Yeah, those two guys are veterans. They've played plenty of origin. So I think, you know, forced changes in a way and certainly no, I think, doubt in our minds, though, of their ability to step up to the stage. As I say, they've been there and done it. They bring, you know, real leadership presence to what's a relatively young side. So there's certainly some benefits to having those two guys back in the 17s.

How's Glasshouse's Billy going, mate? LAUGHTER Well, you can ask him that one. LAUGHTER Did it...

That's a Queenslander asking that question. I'm just saying to help fire them up, mate. I reckon it would have peed him off a little bit, so we'll have to wait and see what happens. And I think it could backfire on the Blues that it was set. Anyway, time will tell. But it's a great opportunity. I imagine all the boys would be pretty excited to be playing in Melbourne. I wouldn't think too many of them have played down there.

No, you're right. And I think on the fact of the game being in Melbourne, it's going to be a wonderful spectacle and a great opportunity for these guys to play in that arena. As you say, not many have played there. Its reputation precedes itself, though, in terms of a venue. So there's certainly going to be a lot of excitement around the game for the guys and

We're in a no illusion. It's going to be a tough contest, you know, versus a desperate New South Wales side. So, yeah, it should be a good spectacle for the fans down there in Melbourne. Hey, Josh, Origin 1 was a weird game because you played against 12 men for 73 minutes and then New South Wales has gone ahead and made all these changes and the press in Sydney has been, oh, this guy's got to go and that guy's got to go.

did you learn anything about how New South Wales plays from that first game or do you have to start again because it wasn't like a normal game of footy? No, it's a really valid point actually and with the changes that they've made and as you say the fact that they played the majority of that game with 12 men, we haven't

probably been able to take a whole lot out of that contest in terms of what we know about them and what their best game looks like, to be really frank. So the guys they brought in have been there before. Obviously, the two big ins, probably Moses and Latrell Mitchell, certainly are really acutely aware of the strength of those guys. But in terms of

The style of play that the Blues are going to bring to the game on Wednesday, yeah, there's a fair bit of uncertainty around that, to be honest. What are your thoughts on New South Wales using the suspended Joseph Suoliti mimicking your full-back, Reece Walsh, at training? Does that interest you or spark your attention?

To be really honest, that's the first I've heard of it. So thinking of it right now, no, that doesn't really spark any, I guess, interest or real feeling towards Joseph or the Blues. Just on Reece Walsh, Josh, I was telling the boys yesterday, I saw when you guys went out to Toowoomba this week and the reception, not only the Queensland team got, but in particular, Reece Walsh. He's the pin-up boy in rugby league at the moment, but I

I think it's just something he's got to get used to because everywhere he goes, people want a piece of him, don't they?

Yeah, he's a rock star. I probably wasn't and haven't been privy to his popularity until I've gotten in camp to see the way people of all ages respond to Reece. You know, he's surrounded by so many high-profile guys, current players, obviously, and former greats like Billy and JT. But the way people gravitate towards Reece has been...

really surprising as I say I didn't know he had that kind of reach but he is an extremely popular young lad and I've got to say the way he does handle it is a credit to him yeah. Alright Josh quickly we've got to ask you about Parramatta all reports are that you're down to the last two for that but obviously State of Origin campaigns on at the moment where are you at with Parramatta and when what might you present to them?

Yeah, to be really honest, there's not a lot to say on the situation. I'll catch up with them post this game, Origin 2. Given the schedule I've had the last probably month with two Origin camps, it's been...

It's been difficult to find the time, but we'll catch up after game two and we'll see where it all ends, yeah. Obviously, you've been an assistant coach for a while, Josh, now working under Billy at an origin level. You're ready to become a head coach, which is why, obviously, you've put your name forward.

Yeah, I think in my own mind, there's no doubt in terms of my readiness. And, you know, I've stated that publicly. So, yeah, we'll see where it all lands. As I say, there's not a lot from my end to tell at this stage.

It's an ongoing process and, yeah, we'll take a step forward after game two. Good stuff. All right, mate. Well, we'll see you down there in Melbourne at the MCG. 90,000 people. It's going to be a great night. What an experience for the players and may the best state win. Thanks for joining us.

I appreciate your time as always. Thank you. Good on you, buddy. There he is, Josh Hanna, the Queensland Maroons assistant coach. 131873, the number. You can email us via the websites.

boys. There's some very clever listeners tuning into the Continuous Call team. Roger says, Hi team, in relation to the fish question, I'd get Jamin Salmon on or Jerome Lua to discuss it. And Catherine says, I think Catherine from Vincentia is like you, Daryl, the way your mind thinks. Fellas, just thinking, if fish could smell, wouldn't they get water up their nose? Good point. Because you've got to

Well, no, they breathe through their gills or something, don't they? Exactly. They must have a filter in there, do they, in their gills? Look, Levy, there is a SMS here, and the SMS line is... Is it 0460873873? That's right. I've forgotten it. It's from Sandra, and it's quite clever. Please, boys, it's not H. It's H. Anywhere but Australia would be considered very uneducated, and you are all not that way. I know. You guys are smart.

You know what? This is from Sandra. I'm going to call it. When I look at a H, it looks like a H. Like the H is like how, right? Hello. So it should be pronounced H, not H, because that would mean if you're pronouncing it H, the H is silent. Yeah.

And that's stupid when you're pronouncing H. Who agrees with me here? I'm with you, big man. I'm not with you on this. You think it should be H? I've always been taught that the way in which you say it is H. I was taught that too. H. No, no, no. It doesn't mean it's right. It's not Hudson with a H. It's Hudson with an H. No, it's not.

Yes, it is. No, it's not. Get the ad up now. It's not Hudson. Hudson. Hang on. You shouldn't be commenting on this because you can't even say it properly. You say the Hume Highway. Hume Highway. Hume Highway. It's H should be H. Hudson. Listen. A, B, C, D, F, G. H-I-J-K-A-N. Let's go to the former newspaper editor, please. This is the correct answer.

The reason people say it differently, and Sandra is quite wrong in having a go at us, it depends how you were educated. No, it depends how you were educated. Kids educated in the Catholic system call it H. And kids in the Protestant system call it H. It's a hangover from the old Catholics v the Protestants. So it's a...

Hangover. Not an hangover. Yes, not an hangover. It's a hangover. So we're right. It's a hangover. And you call your son Big H. H. Don't you? Yeah, Big H Harry. Exactly. So it's a huh, not a ah. There's a massive controversy involving Harry. It's Big H. What, did you think he was going to be a girl? No, I brought in the violet crumbles for you and he's opened the bag. Oh.

Oh, Harry. Harry. I thought you were going to talk about the pie scandal. Noah burnt his pie. He's going to end up like me, this kid, unfortunately. The biggest scandal is that the building that houses 2GB, Nova and Smooth was nearly evacuated because Broiny's burnt the pie. He's grilled the lid. LAUGHTER

H has stormed into the studio. Did you just call him H? No, H. H. H. Big H. Sandra has got a good point. It's just that, look, I can't at 56 suddenly start saying H when I was six and seven at St. Peter's and Paul's Bulimba in Brisbane and taught it was H. So would you suggest that more Australians would say H or H?

I'd say more Australians now are saying H. Right. But us old Catholics, older Catholics... I'm saying H. We did change it because, mate, have you looked at it? It looks like a H. You know what we need? When you look at it.

We need a poll. Poll? We need a poll. H. We haven't had a poll for a long time. I know, theoretically, you people who go to the private schools called it H. No, it's the other way around. Is it? Yeah. No, they don't call it H, the private school people do that. The Catholics. H. There's Catholic private schools. There's non-denominational. There's Protestant private schools. Listen to me.

So which one do you go to? I did go to one. I went to a primary school. But was it... With a Wavle Heights. But it's not A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H. Was it Wavle Heights? Wavle Heights. With a H. It's A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H. No, it's not. That's the way... I didn't name my son Harry. Look, one... Name him Harry. 13182.

Listen, I'm not going to take lessons from you on how to use the English language, OK? Will you get a chance to go home tonight? Yes, I will. Yeah, good. At least you're not going home. Are you going to call him Ben Hunt on Wednesday night? No, that's different, you idiot.

131873, the number. Do you use the... Do you say the word as H or H? We'll do a poll on the open line this afternoon. 131873, the number. Nick's at Pernania. He says H. And Jack's backing you up too, Brainy. Hey, fellas, H is Protestant. H is Catholic. Another difference from older times. We'll let our listeners decide right after this. Craig's at Raymond Terrace. He says, hey, boys, my dog's name is Hudson. Hudson with an H.

But he says H. Thank you, Craig. Guys, well, Neil Breen, you are incorrect. I was educated at a Catholic school and was taught to pronounce H as H, no H in front of the word from Christine. Okay. Well, this is a strange phenomenon. No, it's not. Well, it is. Actually, what school does she go to? I want to know.

That's a bit invasive. Depends whether it goes back to the Normans or not. Well, speaking of school teachers, Malcolm is a teacher. He's at St Ives. Hello, Malcolm. Hello, guys. Hello there. The letter H and the pronunciation H would be, let's say, for example, the word horrible. What?

would be the same as when the West Tigers didn't get paid out on the 21-20 by the tab the other week. Oh. Seriously. What? It's the same bloke every week. He speaks a bit more posher then, though, doesn't he? He sounded like Craig Gabriel in the tennis report. He spoke beautifully then. Anyway, can we find out whatever that bloke's number is and just bar him? He gets through every week and winches about the tab. Yeah.

And Malcolm from St Ives, we don't care.

131873, the number. And that's footy tab. Oh, I don't know. Because footy tab's slightly different to the... I don't know. But he's whinging about something that happened weeks ago. And was it a golden point? Get over it. Anyway. Al's at Campbelltown. Hello, Al. Yeah. Yeah. I want to tell you something. You're not whinging about the tab too, are you? What have you got, Al? I was...

How's that? How's that? Yeah. That's a H. Yeah, it's not how's that. How's that? Well said, Al. That's a good effort. Thanks for the call. Thanks for the call, Al. Jeez, we started strong. What are we going to be like at three? Jane's a cremon. Hello, Jane.

Hello. Hello, Jane. Hi, Jane. Hi. I went to a Catholic school. I'm in my 80s, and if we said H, we would get whipped over the knuckles with a ruler. Jeez, that's... That's 2-1 against me. Did you used to get the cuts in the old days, Jane? Absolutely. Oh, didn't they hurt? Ouch. Ouch. I just missed that one. Imagine if they gave the cuts these days. You know, particularly at our school, they wouldn't give it to you on the hands, they'd give it on the butt butt.

I used to get kicked out of my English class. I'd get sent to the deputy principal's office, but I did it deliberately because he was a bookie. We used to sit there and do the form. The goal. Mr. Stone. Quality school there. Sylvania, hi, Mr. Stone. Mate, I was a Thursday specialist because he'd have the results from Wednesday, and Thursday the fields were out for Friday. So we'd sit there and go, oh, gee, Sheewey Bowman's got a few good rides this week. Oh, look at what Beedman's on here. Anyway, Dean's at Mount Warren Park in Queensland. Hello, Dean.

G'day guys, great show as always. Okay, so my wife's English, she says H. I'm a Kiwi, I say H. And my 20, I think he's 28 year old, educated here, son says H at a public school, so...

I don't know. Mate. It's a mess. He doesn't know. It's a mess. This is rattled as hell, Steve. Mate, look, just take it easy. Just sit down. Just listen to our great show, The Savo. You might learn something. Quick question for you, Brady. While we're talking about the English language and everything else and how people use words. Big H. Big H. Just walked in. Violet crumbles come in. With the credit cards back. What about Big H? Big H has walked in. A couple of taps there, Harry. A couple of extra ones. I heard him say to his dad, he says, Dad, I want

your credit card. He's said more than a couple. He's even opened our Violet Crumbles. He opened our Violet Crumbles. Brady, what annoyed you? Like, you know, when you're on your subbing copy as a newspaper editor and everything, what did you... So the use of commas. Commas. The use of commas. You need to move on with your life. Actually, can we... I want to know more about this. What happened? I love a comma. Just commas being... And look, look, look. I love a comma. Yeah, I'm always good for a comma. What an exclamation mark.

Exclamation marks in raw journalism are basically banned.

You don't use them. You don't use them. What about when you're making a point? This bloke's a wally! Exclamation mark! I'm three exclamations at least. That might be in someone's column, but in terms of pure news reporting and that, there would never be an exclamation mark because you're not supposed to be emphasising anything. You're supposed to be reporting the facts. But commas were always out of place. And I used to, you know, like I wasn't the world's greatest comma expert, but I used to know where they go. But

But Steve Ricketts, the famous journalist, the famous rugby league journalist from the old Telegraph and the Courier-Mail in Queensland, he's a great man, Steve. But Steve used to always plonk a comma really early in a sentence. Right? Yeah, dirty. He used to always go, put this comma in. And I remember all those years at the Courier-Mail, David Forkemeyer used to have to take him out. Forkey was a real old great wordsmith. And it was just one of those things, like...

It was just sort of commas were always the toughest thing. I've got a question here. How many commas can you get through before a full stop? How many are you allowed? In a sentence? In a sentence. I'd say two max. I never liked any more than two maximum. That's too long a sentence. Yeah, but sometimes commas are used as if they're parentheses. So you would... I'm going to need an explanation on that one. Okay.

The Broncos... Your parenthesis got married in 1952. The Broncos, comma, who were badly beaten last week, comma, fought back...

with a second half displayed to beat the Sharks today. Because you've bracketed something out. What's the one that has the full stop above the comma? What's that one called? The full stop above the... Semicolon? Yeah, semicolon. I love a semicolon. Yeah, you wouldn't often use a semicolon in news copy, but sometimes... Give us an example of using a semicolon. When you want to do dot points or something after the semicolon, you go into...

Give me an example of a full colon as well. Full example of a full colon is Shark Bark about four weeks ago. My example of both would be the following players have been charged and you're going to list a lot. You might put a semicolon in and then list them, right? And then have a full point and end it. A full colon, you would be the statement read, correct?

and then you would be quoting a whole statement or something like that. It wouldn't be that common, though. All right. Well, look, boys, we're going to take a break, comma, and come back with more. Full stop. Around the grounds for Uber Reserve, T20 World Cup update. Australia 9 for 122. The Aussies need 27 runs off seven balls to beat Afghanistan.

We're gone! Well, are we... Is this a knockout? No, no. Super 8s will be right, but, jeez. It's a bit of round robin, the Super 8s. Shouldn't be losing to them. You sound round robin to pay Paul. Mm.

Oh, exactly. They got some good leggies, Afghanistan. That's the problem. Oh, Davey, be throwing the leggy over there. That's what's his name, the bloke who plays in the T20 over here, the really good bowler. He's fast. Rashid Khan. Yeah, Rashid Khan. I love him. Have you seen him bat? Look at all these messages coming through. Mark, imagine the size of Big Man's semicolon. Thank you, mate. You should see my colon, my full one. Like that.

Bella's in Canberra. Hello, Bella. Hi. Hello, Bella. You're on the air. Go for your life. Hello. Yes, you're on the air, Bella. What would you like to say? Okay. The letters of the alphabet are A, B, C, D, E, F, G, you know, the rest. Yep, yep.

But, so, if you go, the word apple starts with the letter A, but it's pronounced ah. Ah, yeah. So the word hat starts with H, but it's her. Her. Hat. So you're right. The pronunciation is her. Yep.

But it starts with the letter H. Brilliant. Thank you, Bella. So Bella's saying H. Bella sounds very well educated. H. She had two guys working out whether she was on air, but that's okay. Michael's a bright LaSange just quickly. Hello, Michael. Yeah, hi, fellas. How are you? Good, buddy. Yeah, look, I just want to get back to you on the comma situation. You take the phrase, no more whiskey.

Or you have the phrase, no comma, more whiskey. Yeah. It's a very good point. I like the way you think, Michael. I like the way you think. Thank you to all those callers that have phoned through, but I think I'm a bit commed out. Is anybody else a bit commed out and aged out? You know what? This is a great show. I'm not semicolon down. Well, I ought to speak about semicolons. I'm 68 years of age. I've never used a semicolon in...

in anything I've ever done. Ever? Never, ever, ever. Have you? Yes. Oh, you have not. I have. Four weeks ago, we got a sniff of your semicolon. It wasn't pleasant. 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.

Should I stay or should I go? Now, back to the best team in the business, the Continuous Call team. Yes, welcome back. Next hour, the Continuous Call team as we do it from the McDonald's Interactive Studio. Just the one game this afternoon between the West Tigers and Canberra. It looks like...

Adam Dewey will be making his return to the NRL for the West Tigers, but we'll obviously confirm that an hour before kick-off. In the three games played last night, we started off with that big win to the Gold Coast Titans over the Warriors. 66-6. Where's Kenny Callender when you need him? 26 points to eight. The Roosters over the Bulldogs and the Rabbitohs beat the Manly Sea Eagles by 14 points to nil. State of origin on Wednesday night. Ray will be with us to broadcast the match from the MCG. Looking forward to getting down to Melbourne.

and Thursday night women's origin from Townsville, Chris Warren. We'll have that covered for you with Jamie Soward and Bobby Law, who's joining the continuous call team, one of the Dragons NRLW players. And just around the grounds as well for Uber Reserve in the cricket, the T20 World Cup, Afghanistan's beaten Australia by 21 runs.

So, Afghanistan winning the Super 8s match by 21 runs. Super 8s is, like Brini said, a bit of a round-robin type tournament. So, they're still okay, the Aussies, but it just makes life a little bit more difficult for them. Now, look, I want to discuss with Jeremy Lattimore, the former NRL player, a story that features in The Telegraph today by David Riccio. But before we do that, I feel the need to go to Samford because there's a gentleman by the name of Steve Ricketts

who was hammered by Neil Breen in that previous... He was not hammered. He put rogue commas in his coffee. Previous hour for the show. Rick is just going to give it to me. He's on the line. Hello, Steve. Yeah, g'day, fellas. My wife's never laughed so much. We were bloody driving in the car from Bishop Park, Daryl's old stomping ground. After watching the grandsons play for the...

North Devils Juniors and I was reminded about the commas actually I bumped into David Falkenmeyer the bloke who used to take them out at the funeral of the great Arthur Denovan a radio announcer recently and the first thing that Falky said to me was have you got those bloody commas out of your head? Oh no good day Steve weren't they?

Yeah, they were. They were a long time ago now, so it seems. But I'm still heavily involved with Rugby League. But I've got my own blog now, stevebriggids.com.au, and I don't have to worry about commas being taken up because there's no sub-editor. Hey, Steve, what was Brainy like as an editor, mate, as a boss?

Oh, he's pretty demanding, pretty demanding, to say the least. They were pretty... A lot of people think Brisbane was a suck-up sort of town to the Broncos, but anything but. You know, Bernie made sure we kept them honest, and it was... Never-ending blues. It was a tough town to report in, believe it or not. But anyway, I enjoyed it, but I'm enjoying retirement just as much, and...

Actually, I was at the Carbine Club, had a State of Origin lunch at Tats the other day. I had to get up and announce the striking of a medal in honour of the great Des Morris. Yeah, man. Yeah, I think he was Queensland's best forward in the 70s and should have played for Australia. It was an absolute disgrace that he was never picked. But...

Yeah, there's a medal been struck in his honour, which is going to be presented annually at the KRL Awards for someone coming through the pathway systems. Brilliant. That was a great honour, actually, to be able to speak on behalf of or about Des and to get him up and have a chat. Good on you, mate. Well, Steve, it's great to hear your voice, mate, and glad you're doing well. And look, Bruny, would you like to apologise for giving this poor bloke... No, no, no.

Happy in retirement. Driving home from watching the grandkids and then he's listening to the continuous call team and being hammered by his former boss. I didn't hammer him. It was just a thing. But I'll say this about Steve Ricketts. People talk about agendas in the game. Steve was the most gun barrel straight reporter I'd ever had anything to do with. And during the Super League...

ARL war, and we were obviously News Corporation when the pressure was on, Steve wouldn't bow. He wouldn't bow. He said, I write every story straight. He was put under a lot of pressure, and he stared them all down. Hey, Steve, remember those years? Weren't they fun? I do. Yeah, that was a pretty tough time, actually, and we're probably going to talk about the Super League war at next year's Ross Livermore lecture. We had John Grant...

as our guest lecturer this year. And next year we're thinking of having a panel to talk about it, saying it's the anniversary of the start of proceedings. But on the subject of H's, I know you're over it, but at a Catholic school I was taught H. And Darrell Broman, you would remember Henry Holloway. Henry Holloway. Was he the big H or the big H? It's probably the original big H with a H. Henry Holloway.

Mate, Henry Holloway, good player, great coach. Good on you, Steve. Love to hear your voice, mate. See you, mate. We'll catch you soon. That's Steve Ricketts, great rugby league journo. SteveRicketts.com.au. I think he sends his blog, so you can check it out if you're a fan of his work from back in the day. Can I just... He mentioned Des Morris there, and I've said this many, many times.

There's probably two blokes who should have played for Australia and he never did. And he is certainly one of them. I'm trying to remember who the other one is, but he's certainly one of them. No, no. Des Morris was as good as... Good player. What was the story, big man? Was there a story behind it or not? I don't know. He just never... He played pre-State of Origin. You know, he was up in Queensland, played for East up there. And he was a skilful big back rower. You know, ran...

just off the edge of the ruck, but he was a... His brother Rod did. His brother Rod did. Well, Rod did. And I think Rod would acknowledge that Dez probably was a better player than Rod. I mean, I'm not saying that to belittle Rod. Rod was an outstanding player. But I think Dez was at least the equal of Rod. Rod became the McDonald's king of...

Yeah, he's done well, hasn't he? He did really well. Boys, there's a story today I wanted to touch on. It's by David Riccio in the Daily Telegraph, and it's one that I think will affect a lot of the listeners to this program, be it grandparents, be it parents. And the story goes like this. The headline reads, Come on, let kids play. Angry mums and dads are on the verge of demanding refunds for junior rugby league's wasted season.

We'll be right back.

And it's not just rugby league. You've got junior rugby union, soccer and AFL competitions also suffering. Now, former NRL star Jeremy Lattimore is now coaching a junior team in the Sutherland Shire of Sydney. He, of course, played 182 games in the National Rugby League. And I thought we'd get him on the line for a quick chat. He's on the line right now. Hi, Jeremy.

Mate, very well. Good on you for speaking to David Riccio about all of this because it's very frustrating. If there's a little drop of rain, the councils are quick to close the grounds and the ones who are suffering are the kids.

Yeah, so how it come about, I actually put something out on my Facebook and my Instagram yesterday. I got my knickers in a bit of a knot. My son actually started shedding a few tears yesterday morning when I told him the footy was off. And that was sort of what pushed me over the edge. Just real frustration, obviously, with the weather. And I touched on a few other things just to do with the non-competitive stuff because my young boy's 11. But yeah,

Yeah, it all sort of come to a head yesterday. Then Dave reached out and, mate, yeah, obviously I wasn't aware of the article you wrote a few weeks ago. But like you said, mate, we get a sprinkle of rain and they're calling it off. And I grew up in Port Macquarie. Mate, my best memory as a kid were playing in the rain. So I just...

I think we're creating, obviously there's a few things at play, but, you know, that's a bit of adversity for the kids to get out, get uncomfortable and play in the rain and play with your best mates. And especially at a time too, Jeremy, where we're trying to encourage kids to put down their screens and their devices to go out there and play footy with their mates and play junior sport. This just forces them back inside.

That's exactly right. You know, there's a problem with young kids and obesity and obviously you touched on technology and screen time. You know, there's no other choice. You know, that's probably the best thing about winter. My young bloke plays footy on a Saturday. My daughter plays league tag on a Sunday and my young fella, so at least get them out of the house for half a day on the days where there is poor weather.

Otherwise, you're scratching the paint off the walls trying to keep them occupied. Hey, Jeremy, it's Neil Breen here. Mate, have you been able to count out how many games they've missed? Because I've worked out – so my son plays school rugby league on a Friday. He's missed quite a few of those, but this rain's been weirdly coming on a Saturday. He's missed, I think, six of his last eight Saturday soccer games. Are you at sort of the same amount? It's a lot, right? It's a lot. Yeah.

I went back through. So since the 13th of March, we played four games and we missed four to rain. And then obviously the rest were public holidays or school holidays. Now, I think we'd had two buys as well. So four games in about three and a half months. Is this the council's problem? I mean, the council's obviously looking out for our people. But, Latsy, is it the council just closing them too early or is it the fact that the facilities aren't up to standard?

to cope with the conditions that we're getting at the moment.

So just to be upfront, right, so I spoke to a couple of the presidents from the local area, our guy, President Jordan Moylan. Apparently the state government have a role to play in it because down here in... And I know a few of you boys are from the Shire, but we're considered a flood zone. So, you know, they need to put the right drainage and get the right infrastructure in place so that obviously when there's a bit of water, you know, you know Como Field...

It just floods. Cornell, I think, and Tarrant Point both are insufficient to be able to handle the rain. But we didn't get that much rain on Friday night. That's what I don't get. I get last week it was quite a heavy downpour, but this week... And again, I don't quote on this, I'm not Tim Bailey, but it said 8-0 on my phone app. So I'm sure...

we should be able to handle 8-0 of rain on the local field. Well, you'd also think that the council, Latsy, would be closing them because obviously if they do allow you to play, then there's a huge repair bill off the back of that. Is that one of the reasons you'd think?

You'd think so. We pay fees for both insurance and council costs, right? So surely that's factored into the registrations we play. Obviously, last Saturday was caught off, but the sunshine through to...

you know, Saturday morning yesterday at about 3 o'clock. So why don't we make up the games in the week? Because it's unfair on the children. They're the ones who are suffering and they don't get to go out and play the game that they love with their mates on the weekend. And like you said, it's not just rugby league. The other thing that really rubs me the wrong way with junior sport at the moment, and, Breeney, you touched on it before we came on air earlier today, is these elite academies that go along and sign kids up.

and parents are forced to pay thousands of dollars. It always seems like the academies are allowed to play their games because they're on some of the synthetic fields and everything else. But the under-6s, the under-7s, the under-8s, they're the ones that get the phone call on a Friday night saying, sorry, no footy tomorrow. Well, Harry's Soccer Club is attached to various grounds in the eastern suburbs, including the synthetic field at Moor Park and the synthetic...

at Waverley right next to the cricket ground there at the top of Bondi Road. And the elite academy kids or whatever, they're playing on the synthetic ones. And my point to the club is I think you have to start spreading it around. You've got to start... How can the other kids get good if their teams are getting canned all the time? The other thing is, Jeremy, if I look at my son Harry, who's 10, he only weighs like...

30 kilos or something. They're not ripping these fields to pieces. They're not 115 kilo, you know, Penrith forward packs tearing the fields apart. You know what I mean? Just on, Harry. He's going to weigh a lot more after coming in here on Sunday. Yeah, I know, but it's because of you. Because of you. I'm going to help him, mate.

But I don't know if it's just isolated to our area because I know the Canterbury comp... It's everywhere. ..have found out. No, apparently they've only called one game off and they made that up midweek. The Narrabeen comp yesterday played...

the paramedic comp apparently played i know mccarthur didn't um but i've got this reply on instagram from someone in the shire yesterday but they went straight to the local mayor camillo and speakman who i think is our local rep in the uh in the government and they like just asked what what's going on and um they blame the junior rugby league and so there's a strategy in place to upgrade some of the fields with better drainage but

I know the AFL fields down there in Town Point and even Subbo, they've got better and newer solid drainage. So I know my young boy, he played league last... AFL last Sunday, but my daughter didn't play league tag because the junior rugby league had called it off. So, you know, I think there's a few things to play with. Two agendas. Jeremy, I'm...

You can write this down as another mention to the breakfast show. I'm filling in for Ben Fordham over the next couple of weeks on the 2GB breakfast program. The over-the-top is nearly payday. Well, no, I'm being serious here for a second. I'm actually going to follow it up. I'll go to Mr Speakman's office. I'll go to the Carmelo, the mayor's office, and I'll find out what the real reason is here because, you know, it's all well and good for the government to come out here. You know, Anthony Albanese stands there with...

You know, the Premier Chris Minns and the local Mayor Darcy Byrne, who's, you know, he's got more dummies than a local chemist. He spits the dummy left, right and centre. They've finally got $40 million for Leichhardt Oval. What about all the kids? There's no point upgrading Leichhardt Oval if you haven't got kids playing rugby league at a junior level to one day play for the West Tigers. So, Jeremy, leave it with me. I'll follow it up this week. Well done to you and David Riccio for putting together the story. And I'll see if I can get some answers this week on 2GB Breakfast.

Awesome. Thanks, boys. Good on you, mate. There he is, Jeremy Lattimore. Good man, former NRL player and these days coaching Junior Rugby League. 131873, the number. Jan's in Moshman. Hello, Jan. Yes. Well, I'm talking about the local junior soccer. My grandson's team had three buys, which is a bit unusual, but

So in the end, with the rain, they played two games in eight weeks. Now, apart from the...

inconvenience of it all and the disappointment, the club charges quite high fees and they always say, oh, the insurance is very high for the players. Well, how can the insurance be justified when they're not playing? Exactly. The other issue here too, Jan, is, and you know, there's a quoted figure of $300 in the story by David today in the Junior Rugby League Associations.

The other side of this is the junior sporting clubs who, throughout COVID, weren't able to have their fundraisers to raise money to ensure that they are financially viable moving forward, which is why they rely on the money from registrations and from the grants themselves.

that come from the Junior Rugby League associations and all that sort of thing. So, look, there's a few issues at play here, but one thing we've got to do is get to the bottom of it because we need the kids out there playing footy, playing netball, playing rugby, playing all the junior sport rather than sitting home in front of a television screen or an iPad. Thank you for your call, Jan. We'll take a break, come back with more. 131873, the number 2GB.com. Click onto the feedback icon or 4BC.com.au. State of Origin on Wednesday night. We cannot wait.

I read a story today. Did you see Grant Denyer was a ball boy? Yeah, I did. I saw the photo. 95, MCG. It was funny, wasn't it? Yeah. Really? I never knew. Was that with the big fight? The massive thing? Yes, the big brawl. Yeah. I'm pretty sure Paul Gallen was a ball boy for...

Was it Parramatta or one of the first grade sides? I can't remember now. Yeah, I think he was. He's told us that story before in the past. Yeah, he's talked about that, yeah. I'm just thinking of any other... He wouldn't have lasted long, Gal, and he would have been telling them all what to do out on the field. What is it with you and Gal? I think this needs to be addressed. I'm worried about the relationship between you two. Well, we're still friends, but... Piggy experienced it for the first time yesterday. Yeah. Full on, isn't it? Takes it out of you. Mate, I'm bugging on a Saturday night. Yeah.

They just go at each other. Can I give a theory on it? Go. I think it's a bit of a big dog of the Shire thing. Oh. There's a lot of big dogs down there, mate. Yeah, but I think there's a bit of, you know, I think if Gal lived on the northern beaches and you lived in the Shire, I think you'd have your space and you'd feel king of the castle. But, you know, you don't like it that he's there. Well, no, I don't like that he's there. He's done nothing for them. He's just won a comp as a captain.

I just think you overreact to some of the things he says. You're at an age now, Darrell, where you don't have to worry about it. So you're saying it's my fault? Well, you do react to what he says. Only when he tells lies. Like he says, I didn't say that. I did say this. I'd like to go to the video. But then what you do is you're just like, you did it. No, you did it. It's like listening to two little kids in a playground. No, he stole my lunch. He stole my lunch. He stole my lunch. I understand it's a bad look for the fans out there, and I'm going to do my best not to argue with him.

Only then he's not on, though. That's the only thing. No, no, no, Darrell. I'm just trying to prolong your broadcasting career. I don't want these things to get under your skin. And I want Gal to be here too. I want you both to get along. I want you both to be a part of the Continuous Call team for a long, long time. Well, it's too late. He's under my skin. LAUGHTER

It's too late. Levi, are you saying with some contracts up and stuff like that, that there might only be room for one? Well, I don't know. That's above my pay grade. I just sit here and host the show. You are the captain, though. Yeah. Mate, you get a say. Mate, you're a selector. Well, that's a good point. I don't like my chances. Look, I'll tell you this.

He's also doing television as well. So he's got a couple of things in his favour. Plus, he's probably getting a lot more than me, I would think, given the fact he's doing a fair bit of television. What does he do on Channel 9?

He does the games. 100% footy. 100% footy. What else does he do? A bit of commentary. A bit of weekend stuff when he has to. Yeah, he does the games. But he doesn't really do Sunday footy show. That seems to be a Joey and Freddie thing now. When you say I'm a selector on this program. You get a say. You know what? You don't get a say. If I was to cop criticism from newspapers for selections in, say, origin teams, one of my selections has been Josh Morris. Yeah.

And let's just say, like, you know, he hasn't really risen to the occasion, has he? I think he has. I think he's very good. I hope he's listening. Oh, you'll get a text. You'll get a text. Well, we were looking for somebody, and his name was brought to my attention that he was looking for work. And I did petition to the management here. I said, why don't we give him a go? And then management, I didn't know, signed him for another two years. Really? And I thought, jeez.

She was sitting in a low bar. Sorry, Josh. I think he's good, Josh. No, he's very good. He's coming out of his shell. He just needs to stop giving himself a hammering during the week and then he looks like he's half dead on a Friday night. He looked like he was in a world of pain on Friday night. Thursday night's a big night for him, isn't it? He's a special for a mid-weeker. He went to a charity golf day up in Newcastle for the Westpac Lifesaver helicopter and we love Westpac, so good on him for representing us up there, but

He just goes hard. Well, he went the day before as well. Caught up with a mate. Had to go and see a mate the day before. Tested out the course, played golf, a few drinky-poos. Into the next day, doubleheader. Some blokes are flying, aren't they? A bit dusty. There you go. Steve says Mark Webber was a bullboy for Canberra.

There's another famous ball boy. That's correct. Mark Webber. Yeah, Mark Webber, the driver. Is he still... What's he doing these days, Mark Webber? No, he's retired. Has he? He's retired. The drivers... What would they do when they retire? Uber or something? They're more regular. They've got enough money. They'd probably buy one of those taxi licences that aren't worth much these days and have a cab. Have you ever thought about doing that during the week, Darren? Mate, I've... Seriously, I think...

I think there's a role for celebrities. I think you could have celebrity Uber. Celebrity Uber. I'm a big believer in it. Pay a premium? Pay a premium. And you get a story or two on the way. Mate, whatever you could get. Let's, I don't know, pick anyone. Let's say Gallant, for example. Imagine how good would that be. Celebrity. Maybe getting Gallant as your driver. But you could choose a celebrity Uber driver. You know, if the fare's normally $50, you might pay $150. Up to you. But you can choose...

You know, have a list of people who put their names down who might want to be... Exactly. But then they've got to be in your area at the time. Hey, how do you reckon Ray would go as a celebrity Uber driver? Well, he wants a taxi driver. He'd go back to it. I reckon he'd be good. Yeah, he'd be experienced. He probably wouldn't handle drunk idiots. He wouldn't handle pests. Mate, I'm just trying to think, what if it's someone who gets in the Uber slash cab with him who he may have just...

you know, torn apart, say, six or seven years ago. Oh, Rob Oakeshot's got it in the queue. And Hadley picks you up. You say, yeah, I'm going to get this. You see this arm come round. All right. Knock him out. They need the plastic protection thing. More than that. Do me a favour. Write down a list of celebrities who you think would make good Uber drivers.

You're top of the list because you're a people person. People get along with you. You do it. Imagine Daryl's in the city, you know, whether it be in Fortitude Valley or in the CBD in Sydney, on a Saturday night after work, you know, finishes here at 7.30, puts on his little Uber machine, goes into the city, four drunk blokes. He picks him up from, you know, Daly Harbour. Hey!

Big Man. They get on their app. They say, oh, the Big Man's available. We'll book him. Let's go, Big Man. What do you reckon? Yeah, I don't know about that. You brought it up. I brought it up, but I don't want to have drunks in the car. Oh, come on. So now you're picking shoes and your customers. Have you got that truck sound? I don't need to do it, but I'm telling you I'm not doing it with drunks. Would you do it with drunks, Brainy?

Well, you've got to. You don't get a choice. If the price is right. So you'd be happy to do it? Yeah, I reckon drugs would be fun. Yeah, okay, fun. Okay. So if it's a $50 fare, you might get, let's say, $75 out of it. What, I'd only get $75 and you'd get $150? Yeah, well, you're a mini one, mate. Okay, nice.

All right. What about a bloke's been out on a date and him and his missus have had a bit too much to drink and they get in the back of your car and they're asking you for relationship advice? There's a drunk. You're going to say no to them? Most drunks. Do you think most drunks are a bit aggressive? No, they're not aggressive. I'm not aggressive. I'm the life of the party. What if it's just a nice couple and they've had a few after dinner? Did you just say you're the life of the party? I am the life of the party. Not aggressive. How are you going to go with your parking?

The parking's fine. Don't change the subject. It's not aggressive. Can I ask about Big... So, Big Man... OK, this is the scenario. I'd be happy for lovers to get in the back seat. Are you ready? This is the scenario. What have we got? So, I'm the Uber... I'm Big Man. I'm driving the Uber and a couple get in the back and they want some relationship advice. So, how do they ask him a question? Say, oh, we're having trouble in our marriage, Big Man. Would you...

Well, do you know what I would say? I know what you would say. You would start with this. I won't look in the rear vision mirror. Get it on, bros. That's a good start. That's your relationship advice to have sex in my cab. Good enough opportunity. You'd start with this. You'd say, do either of you need a sleep apnea machine? Let's start with that. I'm not selling them.

You know what? Special deal. That's a brilliant idea. You could have sleep apnea machines installed in the backseat of the car, plugged in so when the drunks are going home, they can put the sleep apnea machine on and have a little shoo. Well, maybe. That would depend if someone was driving who was boring in the front. Maybe they'd just fall asleep with the sleep apnea machine on as well. Levy. Oh. Hey, I'm not Paul Gallen. I'm Levy.

Geez, haven't you two changed your tune yesterday? I'm off you. Go with Gail. No, I'm with you. Okay. All right, we'll put together a list of people you think would make good Uber drivers as celebrities. And listeners, the question for the listeners is, if you were to be picked up by a celebrity, who would you like to be picked up in an Uber bike? Who was the celebrity who got done DUI the other day in America?

Justin Timberlake. Justin Timberlake. He's got to be number one. I'm just thinking our man Carl Stefanova got an issue in an Uber, didn't he? Did he? Yeah, that's when he was talking out of school with his brother Pete. That's right. And the Uber driver taped it.

and then sends it to the media. Can't do that. Phones, mate. Can't do that. All right, so the question to you, Blokes, is who do you think would make good celebrities as Uber drivers? And the question for the listeners, question for the listeners, who would you like to be picked up by, celebrity-wise, if you were to be picked up, say, on a Saturday night in the middle of the city? His list has got one theme, and that's what he'd do.

Pamela Anderson and Elle Macpherson. They're my first two. So you want to be picked up by hot chicks? Oh, you bet your sweet bippy. Imagine talking to them on the way home. Continuous goal, Dave. Round the grounds for Uber Reserve. Western Suburbs leading Bulldogs 10-4 at Campbelltown. Queensland Cup. North Devils leading South Logan 14-0 at Davies Park. Do you think Chris Warren's...

I thought Chris Warren was receptive to some feedback. He's the media manager for the West Tigers, right? So I thought, you know, we just noticed, tough job. You know, Lockie Galvin's a young bloke and we want to try and help him along in life. And he's just done an interview with Sam Thide whilst chewing gum. So I've just sent Chris a message, mate, just tell Lockie Galvin, don't chew gum. It's not a good look, not a big issue, but just try and help the kid. He's come back, didn't say it.

I said, mate, just then with Sammy Thurto. Yes, I was in there. I didn't see it or I would have, obviously. I said, Chris, I'm just trying to help you, mate. I'm just trying to help you. I'm just trying to help. That's all. Mate, I'm with you. I just think, and I don't know what I think, but I just think he should have taken it in. It's not a massive issue, but we're just, we're not blowing it. We're just trying to help him. Yeah, I just... Because he's a young bloke. And look, Gavin...

Galvin's had a few PR issues in the last few weeks for a kid who's played 10 games, an 18 year old, which is a fabulous achievement in itself, but bit ahead of himself wanting to play here, wanting to play. I didn't say that. Oh, that was a beat up. This wasn't about, yeah, we did have meetings and my manager and I was going to try and leave and go to another club, but I'm going to stay now because Joey John said that I could be the guy. I could fix this club. And when I thought about, wow, I could fix this club. I could leave a legacy. Mate, you're 18.

That's well put. The only legacy you should be leaving is hoping that you don't, like, go out on the grog too often and turn up to training hungover. You're 18. You're playing rugby league, first grade. Just enjoy it. That's well put, Brainy. Well put. Yeah. All right. Let's bring in another great mate of ours on the continuous call team, the great man Sam Thiday, who will be a part of the coverage on Nine's Wide World of Sports. Hello, Sam.

Hello, hello. How's it going? Mate, very well. We've just been talking about celebrity Uber drivers. Daryl's got this idea, right, that in spare time, people like your good self and Daryl can jump in the car, pick up drunks on a Saturday night and charge them a premium for celebrities picking them up. Are you on board with the big man's idea, Sammy? No.

Well, big man, you are a genius. I even had a celebrity Uber driver today actually coming out here to Campbelltown. Who did you have? David Middleton himself. He was filling me in on all the stats. Really? I wanted to know the weird and wonderful stats. I like the, you know, how many games has it been since someone's pants were pulled down? Like those sorts of things. I was going to say, did he wake you up when you got to

Middow. He has got a stat or two, Middow. He's a genius, Middow. Well, this afternoon, I'm assuming that Adam Dewey's back, given he's been named in this starting side when he's trimmed his squad, Benji. Who are you tipping the salvo, Sam, Tigers or Raiders?

Well, it's a bit of a weird one for me. I have to be careful because I am sitting on the sideline at the moment. I've got some West Tiger supporters behind me, but I do like the Raiders in this game. I think the Tigers are a little bit thin at the moment and just lacking a little bit of consistency with their game. On the flip side, Canberra have been the same, but I just think they've got a few more bigger name players in their team today that should get the job done.

We're actually just having a look at you here, mate. We've got vision of it. There are fans everywhere around. Just turn around and wave, will you, Sammy? We can see you, mate. We can see you sitting on... There you go. Yeah, yeah. Looking at you, turning around. No, we're not there, mate. We've got a TV there. Just give us a wave. We can see you there now. We can see you. Just give us a wave. I know it's probably seven seconds. A bit of a delay. A little delay. He's standing up. Good work, Sammy. He's standing up. To your right. To your right. Oh, the cameraman's gone. The cameraman's gone.

Phil on camera three. Now he's focused on some bloke who's going to clap up in the air. He's going to do the claps. Mate, can I just ask you about the Raiders? Because I've got to say, on paper, they look a way superior side to the Tigers. The Tigers have got a lot of blokes we haven't seen a lot of playing first grade, whereas the Raiders have got, I think, a solid side. I think they're in the eighth at the moment. They're in seventh, aren't they?

Well, that's where the Raiders have been probably the more disappointing team this year is because they have got some big-name players in their list and some representative players who represent their state and country. So, yeah, I think they are definitely the better team on paper for sure, and they should do a job here today. But it's a cracking little afternoon here. I'm glad there's no rain around, but I heard it's going to get a bit colder later today.

Might have to get a new jacket. Oh, it'll be cold, all right, 10 towards 6 o'clock after the sun's gone down. Hey, earlier we saw you on the outtakes interviewing Lockie Galvin, obviously, for the Channel 9 coverage when it comes on later. Sammy, what do you make of him, mate, as an 18-year-old coming into the game and doing what he's doing for the West Tigers? You impressed with him?

He's a tall boy, I tell you that. He's got a bit of size on him for a half, but I don't even think he's got any hair on his chest yet. So he's going to develop into such a great young player. And I think young players need to go through a bit of adversity when they're coming through the ranks. And I think he's doing that. It's only going to build more character for him as a player. And if he's the guy that wants to lead this West Tigers back into a bit of resurgence and

and get him into the finals, I think he's a brilliant enough player that can do that. So very impressive of what I've seen so far. I absolutely love Benji and the way that he's backed him from... I hope Benji sticks with him going forward because I think he's a great player.

Can't let you go without asking you about Wednesday night, Sam. State of origin, Queensland with a 1-0 series lead. Just the two changes for the Maroons, five changes for the Blues. Can Queensland wrap up a third straight series victory under Billy? Well, I'll tell you this, it's not going to be a given in Melbourne at all. There was

There was enough great signs in that game. Game one, New South Wales showed that they'll be there and they'll turn up in Melbourne. So Queensland will have to definitely be on their A game. And I figured out this morning, actually, what the secret was to Queensland's success for such a long period of time. We went through that eight straight period is because Queensland

There's so many of those Queensland players that had birthdays in camp and we used to have birthday cakes and blow out the candles and make a wish that we'd win the series. So Billy Slater celebrated his birthday on Tuesday. Nate Miles is celebrating his birthday on Monday. Selwyn Cobber in Camp 1. So hopefully those boys have had their birthday cake and they've blown the candles out and made the wish that we get the victory in the Melvins.

Well, they'll be commiserating on Wednesday night when the Blues set up a decider at Brasuncourt Stadium. So you broke up there. See you, Sam. We'll see you on the telly this hour, though. Thank you very much. See you, buddy. There he is, Sam Thaida, the Queensland legend, part of Nine's coverage live and free this afternoon, the West Tigers and Canberra Raiders. We're off to a break. When we return, we'll get back to the open line, your calls, and I'll give you clue number one in the Sunday footy quiz for the $150 Lowe's digital gift card.

Well, 131873, the number 2GB.com. Click onto the feedback icon if you would like to join us. Chris Warren's been in touch, the West Tigers media manager, to tell me that Luke Laulili will be making his debut this afternoon for the club. He is, well, he becomes West Tigers player 290. He's the younger brother of Kit, who is on the bench.

He comes into the side to make his NRL debut, placing winger Charlie Staines. Luke becoming the 10th player to make his NRL debut with the West Tigers this season. He becomes the 6th player out of the 2022 Premiership winning West Tigers Harold Matthews team to go on and play NRL with West Tigers.

the 18-year-old outside back was selected for the Australian schoolboys with current teammates Lockie Galvin and Heath Mason in 2023. And apparently he turned 18 last week. So there you are from Chris. Good on you, Chris. Thank you very much. They're understrength, aren't they? And they're young. That's such a young team. Big ask of this today. And their record against the Raiders is awful. Yeah, I just saw that.

I just saw it and went, oh, no. Anyone tipping the Tigers or something? I tipped the Tigers earlier in the week. I thought they were a chance. Big one. Starting to worry about it. Wow. Justin has been waiting patiently at Melton in Victoria. Justin, thanks for holding on. How are you, buddy? Yeah, I'm all right. How are you, boys? Good. Thank you, mate.

Good. Now, your question was who would I have a celebrity as an Uber driver? Yes. Okay, so the person I would have would definitely have to be Darren Lockyer. Queenslander. Why would you particularly want Locky, mate?

Because I'm a Queenslander through and through. He played for Brisbane, my old team that I supported, and he was just a superb gun player. Yeah, he was. Considering the size of him, there's not much of him. What he did in rugby league is just incredible. Captain his country.

You know, and there's nothing obvious. Continuing on that Origin theme, Justin, given you are from Melton in Victoria these days, they're talking about a crowd of 90,000 at the MCG on Wednesday. Will the crowd predominantly be supporting Queensland, do you think? I think they would be because most...

people down here would, you know, go for Queensland because they probably, they don't like New South Wales. But I think predominantly there'll be around, say, 50,000 Queensland supporters. But, yeah, it's going to be a good game. And just continuing on that, I just want to get your guys' thoughts on who do you reckon is going to win and who do you reckon the player of the match is going to be? Ooh. Ooh.

Good question. Good question. I'll say Queensland, Reece Walsh. New South Wales, Mitch Moses for me. New South Wales, Dylan Edwards. Queensland, for sure. Man of the match is tough. Reece Walsh. Well, they've... DCE, they barely do it two in a row. Yeah. Unless you're King Wally. So, yeah, I'm Reece Walsh as well. We're split.

But that's understandable because we've got two New South Welshmen and two Queenslanders in here. They're biased to the New South Wales Pills. Justin. How fast did you say Queensland? Like the note that was coming out of your mouth before the question finished. They're too good.

If you're heading along to the MCG, Justin, you'll enjoy the experience. Otherwise, tune into the continuous call team, mate. You'll love it. 131873, the number, 2GB.com. Click onto the feedback icon. Clue number one in the Sunday footy quiz, thanks to Lowe's Menswear, the $150 Lowe's digital gift card to be won. We'll give you three audio clues. Once you know who they are, you can give us a buzz on 1300 722 873. Here is number one.

I think I've learned a lot of lessons out of those games, I guess. So he's wearing number seven for the Blues. I think I've learned a lot of lessons out of those games, I guess. So jot that answer down. Two more to come, then you can give us a buzz on 1300 722 873.

There's a couple of people saying, Darryl, celebrity Uber drivers, I'd love Ray Hadley, but I'd love to be in a truck and go down the Galston Gorge. That'd be gold, wouldn't it? Yes, it is. You know, on a similar note, know my great mate, Nobby Clark. I've told this story before. This is a fair while ago, probably 10 years ago. He's got a son, Jared, who's a great kid.

Well, Jared, one of his first jobs, I think, was delivering pizzas for a local pizza joint. But unfortunately, Jared, even though he was a very good pizza delivery driver, he didn't have a licence. So he got Nobby to drive him around in the car while he delivered the pizzas. What a father Nobby is. Do you know he charged him 50% of his wage to drive him around? No way. Really? He did.

He said I had to teach him a lesson. 50%? Can you imagine you driving Big H around delivering pizzas and taking 50% of his cut? No. No. I'd do it for Nick's. What was your first job, Brainy? It was actually inserting the advertising supplements and the television guide into

into the Sunday sun. Sure. I was there for a second. I wondered what you were inserting then. When you opened up with inserting. What a job. I was 16, so the inserting wasn't sort of happening. But Bart Sinclair got me that job. Oh, yeah? The famous and great Bart. Yeah, because Dad knew him from the races and everything. But then my main, like when I was 17, I started working at Meyer at Carindale, and I worked there all the way through uni.

And I was in confectionery and toys. And I, okay, okay, I'm happy to admit, okay, I stole a lot of hazelnut caramel. Oh, no. Remember the old chocolate tray at mine that used to go around and you could pick the ones off and then they'd weigh them? Yeah, did you ever work at, say, Woolies or Coles, like stocking the shelves? No. I did that for a really short time, probably a month. It might have only been four times in a month I did it.

But the number of times that I found lollies that had somehow... Opened themselves? Packets had opened. It was just amazing. I never put the things in the newspapers, but I was a paper boy at Rockdale News Agency. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. And I used to stand at the Seven Ways, and there's an establishment there called the Black Garda where the girls would come out and buy the newspapers. Yeah, they were. Oh, really? They were very, very attractive. And you just happened to have to sell the paper outside the Black Garda every day.

Do you know what the Black Garda is? Did you have a look for stockings for your wife there? No. They always used to give generous tips. The chocolates used to come in these big boxes, right? We used to have them out in the storeroom and you'd have to fill up that old chocolate wheel that went around. And so what I used to do with the hazelnut caramels was I used to open the corner of it

and get the hazelnut caramels out, and then I'd spin it around, right, because you couldn't see that the corner had been opened. But I've just about eaten every chocolate known to me, and I don't recall hazelnut caramels. I'll get one for you. Hazelnut caramels. Have you got a present for him today? Yeah, yeah. No, when the Barley Crumbles at Harry opened. Breaking back with more.

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

You certainly are. Welcome back next hour of the Continuous Call team as we lead into the game at Campbelltown between the West Tigers and Canberra. And it's been confirmed Adam Dewey to make his long-awaited return from a knee injury in the centres. So it'll be his first game since round six of 2023 when he suffered that ACL tear against the Eels. He made his comeback last week against the Warriors in the New South Wales Cup.

So good luck to him, Adam Dewey. Mentally, physically, he's got himself right and he's ready to make his return this afternoon. Fantastic story, that one. Luke Laulii, as we've mentioned, will make his debut on the wing. Charlie Staines is out due to illness. Adam Dewey will replace Justin Olam, who's being rested after aggravating a knee injury. Heath Mason comes onto the bench. Talon De Silva drops out of the side. Tony Sukkar.

is the 18th man. While for the Raiders, Zach Wolford will start at hooker, Danny Levi to the bench, and Albert Hoppawattie is the 18th man. So that's the team news coming through on the game that we'll broadcast for you. While in the three games played yesterday, we started off with the Titans beating the Warriors, where they thumped the Warriors 66-6.

The Roosters over the Bulldogs, 26-8. And the Rabbitohs beat the Sea Eagles 14 points to nil in what was a pretty ordinary game of football. I think, Piggy, you said you fell asleep at half-time. Yeah, well, we went to bed just after half-time. You didn't miss much. I only missed one try. I went to bed. Dev stayed up for a bit longer. And... What's that got to do with it? Well, you...

Just because you go to bed doesn't mean your darling has to go with you, does it? Do you both go to bed the same time? You know what? There's probably a discussion point in this. Well, I'm interested. All right, go for it. Let's hope. Have we got time? Yeah, go for it. All right. So I want to... Sometimes I like to stay up. My wife will more than likely stay up with me. But the moment that I say...

I'm going to bed. Yep. She'll go to bed. This is one woman I wish I'd married. I'm sitting back to watch this. And she's a former Miss Australia. So all I'm saying is sometimes you'd want to...

Maybe you want to watch a show or two on your pad. But Carly always stays up. Are you saying it annoys you that she goes to the UK? No, no, no, no. I'm not saying it annoys you. Are you not going back and invitation? I think he is saying that. No, I'm just saying sometimes I like to watch shows on my own. But Carly will always stay up. Just TV shows that I like. How come?

That's just what she does, but she won't do it the other way. Like, she wouldn't stay up and watch something on telly if I said I'm going to bed. So if you go to bed, she'll go with you? She says, oh, I'll go to bed too. That would annoy me. Really? I don't know if that's... Don't you sometimes want a little bit of time apart from her, like in the cot? Well, that's... No, that's what I'm saying. Sometimes I would like to... That's what you said. Just to watch a show on your own. Watch a show on my own. Hmm.

But does she come in and annoy you? I'm not saying she annoys me. G'day, Tiger. So this is what's going on. You are a disgrace. No, but I'm just saying, like, it's just something that is interesting. Have you mentioned to her that sometimes? I say, why do you never stay up when I go to bed, but I want to stay up and you always stay up? Maybe she's scared of being up by herself.

Well, I'm not sure. But she always... Maybe you're her safety blanket. This is on us here, like tonight. I know we finish at 7. I don't get home until after 8.30. I may have some dinner. Kids are all going to bed. And sometimes I think, bottle of red. I might just...

Watch a few movies or something on my pat. So what do you find she likes? Does she like different shows to you? No, not. Oh, yeah, probably. Yeah. She's not too keen on some of the things that I watch.

But you still sit there and watch it. I just watch crime shows. I just watch crime dramas. Well, we love the crime documentaries on all the... Have you seen me? Excuse me? Crime Scene Investigation Australia. Have you seen me? Are you under investigation? I have over the years. I'm in a few of them. You've started those. What have you done? I'm in a few of them. He's an actor.

I was a... Critically acclaimed. My former boss is a bloke by the name of Graeme McNeice, who would be familiar to a lot of our listeners. Shadow. He puts together those programs. So back in the day when I was working at Sky Channel, Shadow would come over and say, Levy, I need you to do a reenactment and play a copper. I need you to be a murder victim. I need you to be a judge. So I'd go and do it.

So I've been in a few of them. The hardest one's murder victim with a director shout, now stop breathing! Did you have to bleed from the mouth or anything? Yeah, they put all the stuff on you. And I've seen you. What's the line you use? Oh, the detective. The detective. I know you've been to Bourke Street. That's

That's his line. Don't sit here and lie. I know you've been to Bourke Street. Did you get good coin for it? Is Gus alive? Is he alive? Oh, look at Gus. It must be live. Is that live on Channel 9? No wonder the Gus is with us there, champion. Gus has been crook. He had the flu all week. I saw him tweeting about it. No, but can I ask you, Levy, did you get good coin for it? Did you get...

as equity rates or anything? Might have got nothing. Well, could I tell you what happened to me when I worked at Myra Carindale? When I was 19, this is a true story. Now, the Santa went belly up for disciplinary reasons. Oh, no! There's an investigation! That's where he started a current affair. It's a bit like...

It's a bit like what happened with old mate Brandon Smith at the Roosters. A bit of disciplinary reasons, right? Tonight, Santa goes rogue. So Santa got the punt. You know, there was drama. So Jack Miles was like the section manager, and he came over to me working in confectionery and toys, and he said, I need you to be Santa. I was 19. Santa's helper. I said, what are you talking about? He needed to be Santa's helper. No, Santa. Santa's helper. Santa's helper.

You know, Santa's helper. Not the real Santa, the pretend Santa. Santa's helper. Yeah, Santa's helper, right? So I've put the gear on, right? I've put the whole gear on and I've done the whole thing. And then they said, it needs you tomorrow.

And so there's young girls walking past going, he's too young to be Santa's helper. Like, I'm getting hammered, right? And then mates of mine saw me. Did you give them a middle finger? Anyway, whatever it was, the following Thursday, by then they found some other Santa. I've done about

10 hours of Santa. The following Thursday, you'd line up and get your pay slip back in those days where it was in a little yellow envelope when the cash was in it. And I opened my pay slip and there was like about $300 in there. Which is a lot in those days. A lot of money for a kid who's doing Thursday, Saturday. And I went in and I said, I went back in the line, I went up to the pay lady, I said, I think you've made a mistake because I was on like $5.18 an hour. I said, there's been a mistake. I've got all this money.

She goes, I know because you're Santa's helper, you're on Actors' Equity rates, $23.80 an hour. No, well. I went straight back out to Jack Miles and I said, how many more shifts are going to Santa? And I made a fortune. Well, the Shadow said, because I did it in my work time, given he was my boss. He said, just come down. You'll only be there an hour. Two days later, because you've got to do all the different shots and everything else. But you should have got Shadows ripped you off. No, it's all right. I helped him out.

Mate, you do a lot of stuff for free. The shadow owes you cash, bro. No, no, he's a good man. He's a good man. 131873, the number, 2GB.com. Click onto the feedback icon if you would like to join us. 131873 is the number. We'll take a quick break. We'll come back with more in just a sec.

Whatever every other one he said isn't, it's like someone says it actually happened. Great show from Greg. I hope Carly's not listening, Piggy, or is it fair to say you'll be doing everything on your own?

tonight from Rodney's arm. No, she knows. I've brought it up with her previously. She's like, oh, I don't know. I just go to bed when you go to bed. We won't go into what the boys have found, but Piggy just had this horrified look on his face. So the boys have found something down the beach. So I said, we'd better just take a break so you can deal with that. We'll come back. I think this is the time to read this SMS or whatever it is we've got here.

This comes from Rodney. Now, he sent it an hour and a bit ago. I've been stewing over it for quite a while. You have been stewing on this. I've been thinking about it. I think it's a big, big issue that Rodney clearly has sent it to us because he understands that we solve problems. Issues. Around this table. I think Rodney's got in contact with the wrong show. No, no, no. We solve problems. Here it is from Rodney. I have mould in my bathroom for the first time. How do you get rid of it? Well, I've got two words for you. Exit mould.

Yes. Get a spray of that. See, what you need to do, Rodney, and I'm sure you're still listening, is you go and purchase a product called Exit Mould and just read the instructions and then basically spray it on there and it will go away eventually. Just keep working hard. Either that or get a toothpick and pick it off. That's what I'd do. 131873. How do you get rid of a little bit of mould? I prefer when you're in funny mode. I don't like serious mode. No, I think... No, that's serious pigment. Mate, I'm...

Hey, light and shade. I'm a bit of both. I've got a serious side leaving. That was boring. It's not boring. It's a practical issue. We're helping the fans. People don't listen to this show to hear handyman advice from you. Rodney does. They want entertainment. Rodney does. Do you know what annoys me? And I just mentioned this. 131873. Kids that have showers and don't put the fan on in the bathroom and they fog up the whole bathroom because that's what causes mould. Correct. That's what causes it. Correct. Correct.

Really? That steams up the bath. Maybe Rodney... Have you steamed up the bathroom lately? Rodney has obviously steamed up the bathroom himself. You know what I do? What I try and do every time. I don't always do it. But I would say 90% of the time I do do it. After I have a shower, and we've got quite a big shower. Our shower sort of goes on to the bath. And then there's a glass panel...

that stops the water from getting over where the sink is. So yours is like a shower with a bath. There's a bath and then there's a shower. Oh, okay, so separate. Say two metres from the bath. Well, I'm a big fan of leaving it clean when I leave, like water-wise. I clean the glass so it looks sparkly. With like a windscreen squeegee type thing. Yeah, like a squeegee thing. I clean it with that. And then I go to the floor and I squeegee all the water towards the sink.

You've got way too much time on your hands. Mate, that's what you do. Do you just barge out? Do you dry yourself? Yes. So you don't clean the water off the floor. No, in my bathroom. Watch this. I've got a bath mat.

In my bathroom. No, I mean where you've showered, on the floor where you've stood when you're showering. Yeah, what do you want me to do? There's all water on the floor. No, it drains away to the drain. No, it takes too long to do that. Oh, you've become a... You know what? So you, Squeegee, the floor water that sits in the shower, you've got too much time on your hands. And you know what?

I think you'll find most of my family do as well, including Darling and Heron. Why? Because we like it to be dry. But it's tiled and waterproof. It's going to run off to the drain anyway. It runs off. It'll have a runoff straight down to the drain. Go back to Exhibit A.

Rodney's text. I have mould in my bathroom. Yeah, but it won't be where the tiles are. Exactly. Oh, where will it be then? It'll be on the ceiling or in the cornices or something like that. It'll be on the tiles. You get mould on tiles. No way. Well, obviously he must have mould because he mustn't clean his bathroom. Exactly. My point exactly. You don't have to clean the tiles. Not after you have a shower. Not after you have a shower. Okay, you're very quiet. What do you do? Well, we...

wiping down the glass with a squeegee thing, it works. It's good. It keeps all that gunk off it. But I would never do that with the floor. Who does the floor? But what I do with these moulded things is if it says to spray this much on, I double how much you spray. I blast. Blast.

Oh, mate, it's almost toxic for the next person who goes in there. So what's your problem, Levy? But hang on, I just want to get this straight. What if Kevin the Cat walks in while you're in there? No, he's not coming in there. You cover up.

Actually, I walked past him in the nude this morning. Why did he sound... When you get home tonight, he'll finally have run away. I bet he's not purring when you get home. So I just want to get this straight. So you get your gear off, you have a shower. The end of the shower, do you dry yourself first or do you bend over with a squeegee and get rid of the water? No, I squeegee.

I squeegee first. I get rid of the water first. So you're nude, bending over, squeegeeing the water. Nude and wet. Yeah. What do you want me to do? And then what? No, no, I'm just... Then I dry myself. I'm running through what you do, and then you dry yourself. Then I hang the towel on the heated rail. Right. And hopefully it'll dry. And also then I'll put the floor mat on the heated rail as well, because there's about eight of them. Once you're finished. Yes. And then I'll probably...

I'll clean my teeth. The reason I ask the question is I don't know too many people after they have a shower, other than maybe squeegeeing the glass, I don't know anybody that would do the floor and get rid of the water because any decent tiler, and I've done a bit of tiling the last few weeks, would have it go down a runoff to the drain. I know, but

Time. He likes it. Time is obvious. He likes it happening fast. It would take them and take your tiles at least an hour and a half to drive two hours. What does that matter? Because it leaves marks. Oh. Water leaves marks. You've lost it. You've lost it. I missed a tidy. You've lost it. You're obviously both in slop the lid. Oh.

And you, my friend, are not joining in on anyone's side. You're a mister sitting on the fence. I'm kind of mystified. Righto, Switzerland. Okay, what's happened to me is in this whole conversation, I've been distracted by the vision of you being still wet from the shower and bending over and getting rid of the water. I'm not coping. Well, mate, it's not as if it's a freeway for cars driving past.

Imagine walking in, you'd see semi-cold. What do you do when you go in the shower? What, are you showering your Reg Grundy's? No, but I don't bend over wet and get rid of the water. Why not? Because it's unnecessary. It's very necessary because it looks good.

But no one's going in. The darling doesn't even go into your room. My room or my shower? Your shower. Well, you're right on both. Both. Unless she's making the bed. I've got a pest. My 17-year-old daughter's a bathroom pest. And her worst thing is that she puts...

Every towel into the wash after one use. That drives me crazy. But that's a topic in itself.

Towel rotation. I'll get three days out of mine. Two to three days. Minimum. Two to three days. Three days and then she's in the washing machine. Well, gee, you folks might be a bit embarrassed based on the messages I'm getting from here. Turn it on. Look at their top fumes. 131873, the number, 2GB.com. Click onto the feedback icon. Seb's in Western Sydney. Hello, Seb. G'day, mate. How are you going? G'day, mate. Very well.

That's good, boys. Big fan. And I was mid-bite through my reheated pizza from Maggie's Pizzeria out at Mount Druitt there, and I had to spit it out at the vision of the big man bending down and cleaning his shower with a squeegee. Me too. It's not as if I'm posting it on Instagram or something. It's in the privacy of my own home. I bet you walk around with nothing on sometimes, Jabba.

Mate, I'm driving around now with nothing on. There you go. There you go. Oh, Seb, brilliant. I'll tell you what, Seb sounded a little like Guido Hatch. He did. You put the voice on. Mate, how are you? How are you going today? Very good, Guido. I mean, Seb, good stuff. 131873. A lot of support. Hi, Mark. Daryl is OCD from Brett. Yeah, I think you're right. Keith's at Norellon. Hello, Keith.

Good day, mate. How are you? Good. Thank you, mate. I'm the same as the big man. I get out of the shower. Before I even leave the shower, I squeeze you the wall, the glass wall partition, and all the floor as well, and get it down to the drain. Good boy, Keith. That way you can stand there with a towel and not have the towel drain any water when you're drying yourself. Yeah, well said, Keith. You are a smart guy. Who drags their towel along the ground anyway? You just hold it up. Hold it up. Well, Keith does.

Sometimes the towel drops into the water. Into the water. You're not in the bath. Exactly. Thank you for the call, Keith. Gary's at Alexandra Hills. Hello, Gaz. Good afternoon, team. Can you lift a bit, please, Gaz? Lift it up, Gaz. Come on. Big man, big man, there's no way you could reach the floor with a squeegee. You might as well have a four-foot handle on it. I can do it. That's where I do my exercises.

Mate, there'd still be 80 litres of water dripping off you while you're doing it. I don't know how that could happen. No, no, no, no. Mate, it's true. I wish Darling would listen to the show. She could ring up and confirm that. Alexandra Hills, the Queenslanders are turning on the big man. You've lost support. Queenslanders love me. You've lost support. Alex is at Moorbank. Hello, Alex.

Hey, I'm with the big man, mate. I do the walls, the glass and the floor. And when I'm finished drying myself, I also rub the floor with the towel just to get all the excess water off. You know what? I've done a bit of that too, Ace. It's about being clean. Clean, yeah. What's your bath mat for then? Exactly. That's what you use to wipe the floor when you're finished. Well, he said he uses his towel, so that wouldn't be clean to me. Why would you dry yourself with something that you're going to use to wipe the floor? Listen to this, Mr Kleenex. Hey.

Why, I've got him here. He just said, who was that last caller? It's Alex. That with his towel, he cleans the floor after he dries himself. So he would then, next use, be using a dirty towel. Filthy. Filthy. So it's not clean. It's not clean at all. As he said.

He's counting the messages that agree with him and he's ignoring the ones that don't agree with him. That's what Levy does. And you know what else I do? I turn you off.

What are you yelling and screaming at in the background? No, you turned off. What are you yelling and screaming at? George.

George Rose? Well, we're about to go to George Rose. He's on the line from Pointsbet. Hello, George. Hey, lads. How are we? Very well. Georgie, when you have a shower, do you squeegee the water off the glass and the floor and everything? Do you do that? 131873. The floor being the main one. Mate, I'm lucky to shower more than twice a week. LAUGHTER

He wasn't the target. Sorry, mate. Sorry for putting you in that awkward situation. See, George, we're giving Daryl a hard time. I'll turn your messages back on so you can read the ones supporting you. Daryl claims that when he... Well, he's not claiming he does it. When he goes and has a shower, he bends over after having a shower and...

He squeegees all the water into the drain, everything, because he's worried about mould. And Piggy and I have made the point that any decent tiler will have the runoff so the water goes to the drain. Yeah, that's a good point. I'm just picturing it for a second. So big man gets out of the shower, bends over. Yes. Yeah, yeah. Mate, I bent my knees.

Okay, okay. Look, my thought is if I was a guy that was going to do that, I would probably work up a sweat trying to clean up after myself. I'd need another shower. Oh, brilliant. Brilliant, brilliant. Well, let's get into the footy. Just the one game this afternoon, West Tigers-Raiders. Tigers $2.35, the Raiders $1.60. Who are you tipping in this one, George?

Look, both teams are at full strength. The Raiders are a better team than the Tigers when they're both at full strength. I've got the Raiders for this one. Raiders in that one. Same game, multi. Now, you've gone with a three-legger and it's a juicy odds. How are we playing it?

Very juicy odds. I've got Raiders head-to-head. I've got Jordan Rappenaar, any time try scorer, and Matt Timico to score at least two tries. It's a big ask, but I think against the Tigers, I reckon he's a chance. All right. So Raiders head-to-head, Jordan Rappenaar, any time try scorer, Matt Timico, two tries, $26.15, thanks to our great mates at PointsBet. So $26.15.

if you'd like to follow George in. And I know plenty of our listeners do it each week here on the Continuous Call team. Go and have a shower, George. You've worked up a sweat in this report and we'll catch you next week. And squeegee the bottom. Have a good one, buddy. See you, legend. Bye-bye. That's George Rose from Pointsbit.

Here is clue number two. My mentality was to be ready just in case and luckily I was. He's got the worst haircut in rugby league. He's just got that little patch of hair down the sort of bottom of his head and he's actually playing for Queensland this week. So here is number two. My mentality was to be ready just in case and luckily...

Luckily, I was. All right, so one more to come. Once you've got the three answers, you can give us a buzz on 1300 722 873. 1300 722 873.

Jock says on the text line in Queensland, I had issues with mould on my bread, so I will take the big man's advice and stop leaving the bread in the bathroom because whenever I use the squeegee to keep the mould at bay, I leave crumbs all over the bathroom floor. Thanks for the advice. Thank you, Jock. Well, just on mould... Making light of a serious situation there, Jock. Well, just mould on bread. This happened to me during the week.

There was a little bit of mould on one of the... on the crust of the bread. So I just cut the crust off and ate the bread. You did not! You did not, you pig! What? You pig! Hang on, hang on. You need to explain this for me. Hang on.

go through that again there were four bits of bread left in the bag so was it an old sliced slice slice bread there were four bits left four bits left one of them had well one of them had a little bit of and i wanted four bits of toast so i just cut the mold off that no throw it in the bin gone lost the plot why can you bag me for clean being mr clean you are mr germsville the mold was on the on the crust it wasn't on the bread but what means it's in the

bag. No, earplugs are idiots. No way. You cut the mould off and you eat the bread. You do not. As soon as you see a spot of mould, gone. What do you do? So if you've got a bag of rice and there's one weevil in there, I'll get rid of that one weevil and then I'll cook the rice. Good call. Hello, pronto, Sylvania. Yes.

I don't want moldy toast. That's the end of it. He's closing down the hill. Imagine if you're in Pronto, you order bacon and eggs, and a bit of toast comes out in the street corner. Oh, no. He's giving me the moldy bit. Shut up, you idiot. Shut up.

It's gone. He's lost it. I'm sorry. He can't call this game this afternoon after that. Well, let me ask you this. What about if there's a little bit of mould on the cheese? You cut the cheese? Cheese is gone. Throw it in the bin. You just cut the mouldy bit off and add the cheese. Throw the whole thing out. Throw it out. Hello? You know what grows on cheese when they're storing it? Mould. So what does it matter? But it does matter because it's a different type of mould. It doesn't matter.

Are you talking about your block of parmesan? No, your block of, like, you know, tasty cheese. Cheddar. Oh, you've... Oh, my God. I can't believe we even hang around you. Oh, what's wrong with you, Blake? You need to toughen up. You need to toughen up. No, it's not going to happen to the restaurant. It's my house. That's his slogan. Hey, come to Pronto, where you need to toughen up. Listen, would you drop off, you blokes?

Listen, I'm talking about at my house. I'm not going to be in charge of food at the restaurant, so drop off. What I'm saying is that if I had four bits of bread during the week, one of them had a little bit of mould on the crust. I cut the crust off, put it in the toaster, and it was absolutely fine. Still here to tell the story. No internal rumblings. If there's a little bit of mould on the cheese, you cut that bit of the cheese off, you can eat the rest of it, it's fine. Is anyone with me, or am I a complete slob? I think you're a slob. You know what I'm thinking? I've got an idea for you pronto.

Stop bringing up the restaurant. Okay, two minutes. I've got a slogan for you. Don't say it, Piggy. He's going to blow. He's going to blow up. If the food's hard to eat, you should try finding a park.

Piggy, he's going to cut us off. He's going to turn our bikes off. You know you have a gluten-free menu? Have a mould-free menu. He's gone. He's gone. Oh, my God. You think you're all funny, do you? You've walked yourself into this one. Mate.

You are getting some support here. Well, all right. I want to ask a question. 131873, the number. You can text us, 0460 873 873. Does anybody else do that, or am I a complete nincompoop, as Daryl would say? Does anybody else, if there's a little bit of mould on the bread, just cut the little bit of bread off and you're fine? I throw it out. There's nothing wrong with it. If it's in the loaf, I throw it out in the bag. I haven't got time to go to the shops.

I'm hungry. I want to have some breakfast. And I do it. There's seven out of nine and a half. That's not a mention. That's not a mention. We're nearly there on the overs. Leave me alone. I'm with you, Levi. You're a good friend. I'm only going to concede one thing. What? If you've got a big block,

of, say, parmesan, and there's a little bit of malt, and you cut that chunk off. Well, what's the difference between that and tasty cheese? Well, then you're getting into the middle of the cheese. Well, what about when you get the camembert? What's the hard part on the outside that's moulded? No, camembert gone, because it's all soft and it would get in there. Oh.

It'd infiltrate it. You know what would be difficult? The cheese with holes in it. You'd have to search through it. Swiss cheese, it's called. You'd get a torch, you'd have to look up every little crepe. Is anybody with me, folks? Can somebody bring up and just support me, please? I'm getting hammered by these three imbeciles. 131873, the number. Breaking back with more.

Very well, thank you.

Yeah, sorry. I might leave you side, mate. Time's a heart at the moment. And I cut the mold off the cheese, scrape it out of the sour cream and cut it off the bread. Oh, hang on. Hang on. Sour cream? Cut it off the eggs.

Yeah, look, those other guys, they need to get a skirner of concrete and harden up. You have mould on eggs. Stay there, Barb. Barb's getting a show bag. I'm not going to Barb's at Bathurst for sour cream. Fair, D. Mate, listen to what it's called. It's called sour cream.

So it's gone sour. It's virtually off anyway. No, it's not called mouldy sour cream. It's called sour cream. What about sweet and sour pork? It's gone off too, has it? My man Tom Eyston's been in touch. Is cheese okay if you cut the mould off? Question.

Mould generally can't penetrate far into hard and semi-soft cheeses such as cheddar, Colby, Parmesan and Swiss. So you can cut away the mouldy part and eat the rest of the cheese. Just read the first sentence again, what did he say? Is cheese okay if you cut the mould off? Mould generally can't...

Generally. Generally. Can't penetrate far into hardened semi-soft cheeses. I'm not taking the risk. Is it okay to eat bread with a little mould? Whether the loaf of bread has one spot of visible mould or multiple ones, the bread is... Oh, unsafe to eat. Yes! Yes! Oh, your voice changed. 131873, the number. 2GB.com. Chris is at Lilyfield. Hello, Chris.

Hi there, guys. You guys are just such fun. I'm 81, right? And so I've been through a few cycles of moldy whatever. And I am still quite able to tell that you can survive by having eaten moldy things. However...

What you've also said is that you cut the crust off if they're more moldy than what you can see. Bread, unfortunately, has lots of miniature holes in it which the spores in the mold can actually get into the inside of the bread. Now, what we were told way back 50 or more years ago was that if you boil something for five minutes...

Really solid boiling, rolling boil at that temperature, whether it's in a toaster or in a pot or cooking old meat, for example. Sometimes things get tough and people have to try to survive on less. Hmm.

And having a little bit of mould, as long as you can kill the mould or not have too much of it, like the man says, cutting off the outside of the cheese because it's gone mouldy. I do that too because it's just sensible. Well, Chris, thank you for supporting me. I appreciate it. You can't boil the bread, though. Yeah, boil the toaster, Chris. You cook it in a toaster? Oh, please. Come on. Harper's in Brisbane. Hello, Harper.

Oh, hang on. We've got a dodgy line there, mate. No good. 131873, the number. Mark's at Algester. Hello, Mark.

G'day, guys. The mould thing, I used to cut the mould off the bread too until I heard a nutritionist talking on the radio one day, I think probably on 4BC, and she said, don't eat mouldy bread. All you've got to do is Google, is mould on bread dangerous? It can get into your lungs and there's microtoxins and things that can affect your lungs. So, you know, bacteria can develop. Yeah, I'm tough though, Mark. I'm tough.

Mate, Iron Guts Levy, they call me. Oh, come on. Come on, Mark. You don't want to risk it, Levy. Levy, you've got a lot of work to do. You've got to be out here. He's got to be here for brekkie. No, don't put that down because that's you saying it, not me.

Imagine if he rang you tomorrow at 3.30. I can't come, I've eaten some mouldy bread. Mouldy cheese has got me. Can you and Big Mark go in and do braggy? I'm still trying to get over Barb and her scooping mould out of sour cream. That takes the cake for me. There's no way in the world I could even...

Think of doing that. That whole sour cream container just goes in the bin. I'd love to host breakfast with Big Martin. Imagine if we were hosting and we had the Prime Minister coming on and Big Martin go, I'll tell you something, champion. LAUGHTER

This nuclear power sounds like it's got legs. Albo and I go back a long way. I'm Darryl Broman. I'm Darryl Broman. Well, yeah, I used to meet him at Channel 9 when I was doing the sports on the Friday morning years ago. On the Today Show. Yeah. You know, it's funny. Like, you know, after there's an editorial or something or, you know, a Ben or Ray's program, they'll finish it off with a sting. So, for instance, you know, like they'll be talking about something, you know, carrying on, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Well, I think nuclear energy is the way of the future. ♪

You know, and then Ray will get there and go, this idiot in the Galston Gorge, we need to find these imbeciles. Big man doesn't need stings, ladies and gentlemen. He just says nuclear energy is the way of the future. And he sniffs. Just a sniff. That's his signature move. Sniffs enough. Sniffs enough, mate. You don't need to go into all that stuff. And then you know how there's all the spin doctors in Canberra that look after the pollies? Yep. They'll send the message round and they'll go, been monitoring 2GB, 2GB.

Daryl Broman editorialised for nuclear power and used the sniff. And then they just go, oh, my God. He sniffed. Although it would have been... Imagine during the COVID times. Test him! Couldn't produce a sniff then. You're glad you've got COVID or soft. Continuous call, team.

131873, the number 2GB.com. Click onto the feedback icon if you would like to join us. It's a great show. I don't think I've seen this much feedback on this program for a long, long time. Activity. I'm putting it down to Greeny. Greeny? He's been good. He's been very good. Oh, Dad.

I'm putting it down to Levy's. I'm putting it down to Levy's own goal. I was going to say before. Levy's own goal. Remember on mould on the bread. It was like when, I remember when Matt Hayden finally got a chance to open for Australia and the whole of Queensland was desperate for him to do well. It was the Boxing Day test and he let one go from Kirtley Ambrose. Remember, you leave it go and takes out off stump.

That's what Levy did when he said, I eat mould on my bread. He didn't say that, mate. I've only done it a couple of times. Such a bachelor thing too, I reckon. That's what happens. You know what, Ed? You look healthy. It's all right.

You know tomorrow morning when Levy's doing breakfast? What's on? Are you going to phone 131873? No, I don't phone him. But I do sometimes wake up around that time. I'll listen. Not at 3, but at 5.30 I'll be listening. I'll give him a rap. He's good at it. Very good, Levy. Very good. It's very difficult when you go from having a laugh on this show, calling football and talking about rubbish. To punching out Albo at 7am. Go.

I'm going on air tomorrow interviewing David Littleproud about the merits of nuclear energy and all that sort of thing. I'm going to put – no, I don't know the answer to this question, but he's hosting Brekkie tomorrow. I bet you – have you written at least one editorial yet? Yes. I knew it. I knew it because he's diligent. He's ready to go. He's already got an editorial. Have you done two or just one? He's got a couple. He's done one and a half. No, I've actually done five.

A few in your back pocket that you can roll out through the week. Are they opposite things? Not necessarily. I just find when I'm – because the hard part, when you sort of go in and just do a couple of weeks, you've got to get yourself across a lot of issues very quickly. Yeah, yeah. And me, if I just read something, it won't stick in my head.

So what I do is I'll read something and then I'll write down as if I'm doing an editorial. I probably won't use it, but because I've written it and I've used the numbers, it'll stay in my head. And when it pops up at, say, 20 past eight one morning, you'll go, well. And I'll say, well, you wouldn't believe it because it's in my head. Yeah. So as much as I've written something, I do it because it sticks in my head. I like it. I'm just a weirdo. But that's your way of learning. Because if I read things, I sort of get a little bit muddled up. So I try and...

wrap my head around it, write something down, and then I understand it, if that makes sense. Anyway. But I told you now I'm doing breakfast tomorrow morning. Anyway. It's a dollar O2. It's a dollar O2. 131873, the number. Look, just quickly, away from mould and everything else, I had a couple of people email me saying, Mark, you were talking about the sideline eyes these days in Mark Piggy, Riddell and Josh Morris.

is there any chance you could play the great Magoo when he had the New South Wales Origin team at church? Well, I've had to dig up the Continuous Call Team weekend attention CDs, and yes, the New South Wales Origin team with Magoo at church. MUSIC

Yeah, Ray, I'm at the Blues bonding session, Ray. They've taken an entirely different direction now. Phil Gould and the management have taken them to church, Ray. It's a very moving scene here. Now, Chris Johns is currently taking Anthony Minichiello. Willie Mason, special guest Mark Gazzania, Ray, the confessionary box. And now they're taking communion, Ray, confessing their sins. So...

So, Ray, they've really turned over a new leaf. I'm privy to this. Now, I'm just sitting in the back. Now, Chris is leading the players down now. Now, they're taking communion. Now, Chris has got the red wine. Chris, Chris, mate, just one sip, mate. Mate, just one. Chris, just one, mate. Get past the bottle of long. LAUGHTER

Just break the bread, just one sip. Hang on, Minister, hang on. I'll just fix this up, mate. Chris, get the straw out of it. LAUGHTER

We're just getting... Ray, like, Willie's really good here. He's just declined at rink. So is Mark. Mark, the mobile, mate. Look, just give that to Jared Raper. That's it. Now, Ray, yeah, they're going good. That's better. Here we go.

He was very funny. He was very funny, the great Magoo. And I suppose if I play that one, I've got to play the day that he introduced the continuous call team to Rastus. Tony McGay, some sanity at last. Hello. Some sanity? Hi, Ray. He's with Tarzan. Where is he? Where are you, lunatic? I just purported you to get your mascot out, Rastus. Now, Adrian Lamb asked me to take him to the football and just get him to use the big crowds for the World Cup. Ah!

You wouldn't believe it, Ray. He's met a local possum in the park. Oh, romantic little buggers. LAUGHTER I don't know the part of it. LAUGHTER Back at the capsule! LAUGHTER Is Moffo tied up with this at all? LAUGHTER LAUGHTER

Oh, that's his best. That's all right. Blank. Blank. He's mad. I thought he said it was by Moppo. Moppo wasn't tied up in that. They'd get arrested for doing things like that to possums.

Very, very good. We've got to give you clue number three in the Sunday footy quiz, thanks to Lowe's Menswear. We've got the New South Wales number seven.

the best, the best meal deal they've ever come up with, McSmart Meal. Oh, yes. Two burgers, small fries, small soft drinks, 6.95 T's and C's apply. So a tip, a player to watch, a first try scorer for First National Real Estate, and a bold prediction for Taubmans. If you're talking paint professionals' trust, you're talking Taubmans. Darrell, you can kick us off. I've got to tip the Raiders. When I got here today, I was a bit undecided, but looking at the Tigers' outfit, I think they've got two or three debutants here. I think the Raiders will win. First try scorer, I'm going to go...

Seb Chris. In saying that, Matt Timico hasn't scored one for quite a while. I'm thinking he can. One of the two centres, I reckon. And a big, bold prediction. I think Elliot Whitehead might get a couple. He can find the line, Elliot Whitehead. And I can't remember what the other one is. You say that every time. Bold prediction. Bold prediction. Well, that's probably Elliot Whitehead getting a double. All right. Thank you. Piggy. Yeah, I'm tipping the West Tigers. My player to watch...

Lockie Galvin, the youngster for the Tigers. First try scorer, I'm going to go with Appie Corrasau. And my bold prediction, Jareem Buller. He'll get a double. Thank you, Piggy. And Bruni, please. Raiders, first try scorer, I'm going for Nick Kotrich because last week, Big Ma needed him for a big

multi and he didn't look like scoring. So he'll score first today. My bold prediction is that Hudson Young fired up from his drop and will score a double. Alright, fantastic. I don't know how I'm going to do this. I'm just rattled after copying it for an hour. But it was an own goal. Yeah, I know.

Come on. Just lift, Levy. We want you to be enthusiastic. As I said in the start of the day, you're the most promising young caller in the history of the game. And you'll be back. You'll find a way, Levy. If there's a way, you, my friend, will find it. Okay, you've lifted me. Thank you very much.
