The Continuous Call Team – Full Show Saturday 3rd August 2024
02:42:36 Share

Now, live, right across Australia, the continuous cold team. Sam Walker now, he makes a break. Sammy Walker's away, straight through the middle, up to the 40. He looks inside, guess who's there? Tedesco! Tedesco goes and scores underneath the...

With Mark Levy, Daryl Broman, Paul Gallen and Alana Ferguson. You shower together with your wife? Yeah, we've got a big shower. And you wash her? We wash each other at times, yes. Not all the time, but at times. Do you use soap or the squeegee? Soap, definitely soap. Do you do... Sorry, sorry. Excuse my ignorance here. Do you do the spots that she can't reach? Yes. Oh!

Listen to, I'm getting very, very nervous. My wife turns the computer on for me if I want to use it. What? You know my wife does everything for me. Turn the computer on? Where do you turn the computer off? Are you serious? You turn it off your computer. I wouldn't know how to turn it on or off. It's called a power button. Yeah, but look, I don't know where it is. You are a blockhead. Life, sport and laughter right across your weekend. Celine Dion came out, mate. Seriously, what a bit of tea. Woo!

She is phenomenal. Look, if you're listening, Sydney Morning Herald, I've got a front page, the wording of what they need to put on their headlines. Here it is. You ready? She may have been dressed in silver, but she put in a gold medal performance. LAUGHTER

Well, ladies and gentlemen, you ask, we deliver. Ray Hadley's counselling team.

Well, I'll just act as the mediator in this process, Daryl. Okay. I'll let you deliver the advice. Well, I'm here to try and help people's lives and make it easier for them. Well, you're not terrible. Here we go. Mate, my missus has got a terrible habit. She farts in bed at night time when we're asleep.

What do I do? This is a big one. When you're asleep. I would say just suck it up, mate. I mean, that's... Are you serious? Well, what do you want him to do? I didn't think women farted. Hey, listen. All right, that's enough counselling. That's enough. Thank you, Ian. Just go for your life. You're a lucky bloke here. That's a hardcore Dutch oven. Because this is life. This is part of everyday life. I know it's life, but it's also national radio. Every single person out there is part of life. Why do you get gassier at night? I don't know.

Does that happen? Does it really happen? You know what? I could almost do it on my own. Guys, it's a serious question. And now on to GB Sydney, 4BC Brisbane and network stations across Australia. It's time for the Continuous Call Team.

Yes, good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome along to the Continuous Call team as we do it from the McDonald's Interactive Studio as the National Rugby League celebrates the Harvey Norman Women in League round. It'll be great to catch up with Katie Page later in the program, who's not only an advertiser on this radio network, but she's been a big driver.

behind the rise and rise of women's sport in this country, in particular the NRLW competition. Speaking of NRLW, the West Tigers have scored a great little try here. They lead 10-6 with a kick to come. 10-6, West Tigers lead Gold Coast. That's with a kick to come. 18 and a half minutes left in the first half. NRLW updates across the weekend. We do that for all.com. All.com for the travellers in you. I've mentioned the NRLW.

Harvey Norman women in league round. And the NRL results so far, West Tigers and Cowboys on Thursday night. The Cowboys won that in a game where defence didn't mean much because it was a 48 points to 30 win to the Cowboys over the West Tigers. Parramatta secured a drought-breaking win over the Warriors, 30 points to 20. And last night, the Roosters defeating the Dolphins by 40 points to 34 points.

in another game where defence didn't really matter with all the points that were scored. 40-34 roosters over the Dolphins. Plenty of stories this week in rugby leagues. Stefano Itoikamano quitting the West Tigers to sign a three-year deal with the Melbourne Storm from 2025. We'll catch up with the Storm's head of football, Frank Panisi, later in the show. Brian To'o has confirmed he's fully committed to Penrith after his manager met with the Panthers this week. There were some reports that he wanted out of the Mountain Men team

And Blaise Talangi to leave the Parramatta Eels at season's end with that Penrith Panthers club set to pounce on his signature. So we'd love to hear from you. 131873 the number. You can email us via the websites where you click onto the feedback icon and that text line's up and running as well. 0460 873 873. Three games this afternoon and tonight. Titans, Broncos at 5.30. Chris Warren will bring you the Storm and the Dragons.

And then at 7.35, it's the Sharks and the Rabbitohs. Let's welcome the team. The big man is here, Darrell Broman. Good afternoon to you. Well, Levi, we've got a lot to discuss today, and I think this is going to be one of the great shows. I know it's a high-rating show in general, but I think today could be record ratings for this show. I like it. Look, I'm going to open up with good afternoon to you, Elana. Good afternoon to you, Gail.

I'm a bit pooped today because I've been listening to you on the radio a lot this week. I try to go to bed, let's say about nine o'clock, which is reasonable, but I'm not excited thinking about the Olympics coming up, et cetera, et cetera. I don't want to miss it. So I wake up and I roll over in bed and put my little tranny on.

You're right, Kel. And then I do lay there and just listen. Unfortunately, occasionally I'm not off. But I like to listen to all the great swimming events and everything that's going on at the moment. So congratulations to you and all the staff here at 2GB Channel 9 who are doing a phenomenal job. Seriously, I reckon it's the best coverage I've experienced ever. I'm 68. I've

460. 17 times I've had the Olympics on since I've been alive. Is this your 17th Olympics, Darrell? Yeah, it is my 17th Olympics since I've been alive, and this is the best one I've experienced. So congratulations to everyone involved. You're doing a sterling job. Levy, I don't need to tell you this, but you look tired.

I did go to your restaurant this week too. Oh, yes. I shouted J-Moz some lunch. You didn't shout me. No, well, you weren't there. That's why I didn't shout you. I was three minutes late. You weren't invited. You just pushed in. J-Moz texted me. Thank you very much. I was invited. Not originally. Anyway, the good news was I had a bacon egg roll, coffee, $12. Did you find some parking?

Remarkably, I did because I was the only one in there. Thank you very much. He's found parking, ladies and gentlemen. Well, good luck to everybody. But anyway, the issue is I shouted J-Moss lunch.

I can't believe it because he had a rather expensive item on the menu. Mine was $12. $61 it cost me. I thought J-Moz might have been a $12-er just like me, but no, because he knew I was shouting, he had a $38 lunch. I'm outraged by it. What, did he get a main meal or something? Yes, he did. So I'm moving on from it and I'm over it now. So congratulations to everyone concerned in life.

and in Olympics and other stuff. Thank you, Darrell. What a great start from the big man, ladies and gentlemen. Particularly happy today. Paul Gallen is here as well. G-String, afternoon. Good afternoon, everybody. Yes, big week. I see what I love seeing at the Olympics, particularly on Instagram, when Raimondo Hadley calls the swimming. And is it Liesl James next to him? Libby Trickett. Libby Trickett. Sorry, yeah, my bad.

He's going absolutely bananas next to him, like jumping up and down. The passion. Doing all these actions. The passion involved in what she's doing, but does not make a peep. Does not say, oh, no doubt. My text leaving this week, no doubt Raimondo has said, you shut the hell up when I'm calling.

You wait until you are born in. And what do I say to you and you? Exactly the same thing. But we are so passionate as well. We just get caught up in the moment. Yeah, but you don't make any noise. She's biting her lip all the time. She's about to explode. All you people out there, if you haven't seen it on Instagram, go and have a look at the 2GB Instagram page. It is the best footage you'll ever see. She's so passionate right into it. Ray's going bananas. Ray's calling a good call too, don't get me wrong. But she just does not make a peep.

It's hilarious. Leaping Libby. Oh, it's so good. It's unbelievable. She's biting her toe. She wants to say something and Hadley said, don't you say anything. I wake up every morning and just hope there's another one there. And there generally has been this week because of all the swimming, but it is such good viewing. Well,

Well done, Raimondo, if you're listening. I noticed we picked the same tips this week also. Who's leading the tipping comp? I can't catch you because I reckon he's now watching what I do somehow. Well, Luke Davis is probably sucking up. Gal, you know the rules here. I know. Somehow, two weeks in a row, we've picked the same tipping. It's annoying me. So now I can't catch him. So it's going to cost you $1,000. $1,000? No, you doubled it. No, I dodged the $1,000.

all bit. No, you doubled it. You said you wanted to double it. No, I never said that. He said he wanted to double it. No, no, no. He said he wanted to double it. I said no. Leave it. Just go to the tape. Go to the tape. I didn't say it. Okay. Yes, Ray, I'll do $1,000. I'll double it to $1,000, Ray. Get that up in your chip room. I never said that. Hang on. When did you become buzzed?

Alana Ferguson is here, Fergo Afternoon. Hello. Look, I'm a bit tired too. Yeah, I'm tired. It's hard to pick between the footies on, the NRLW started, the Olympics are going. I actually didn't watch some of the footy last night because the athletics is my favourite and it started. So I was on the app.

And the women's 100-meter sprints kicked off. And it's just the best. Gosh, they're freakish athletes, aren't they? So I go between the two. And then I just got proper hooked on the footy. Great game of NRLW while we're waiting to jump on air today between the Raiders and Newcastle, 20-26. Knew we got the job done about a minute before the bell. That was epic.

But look, I'm not going to lie. I'm pretty rattled today. And it might be because I'm extra tired. What's happened, Fergo? Because there's so much sport. What's rattling you? She's pregnant. I don't like a lot of people. I don't.

blame a lot of things on pregnancies. Oh, you don't? It's a jog on thing. Jog on. Well, you know, that's a great attitude. Oh, thanks, gal. She's hormonal, gal. It means a lot coming from you. Hey, Fergo, just before you launch into what's frustrating you, I want to put notice today, Paul. Please. I had a lot of sleep. Fergo's pregnant. Yeah. So leave us alone. Fergo's pregnant. What's your excuse? Oh,

I've been working my backside off. You'll be called the Olympian. I would never know it. I would never know it. Did you know he'd be called the Olympian? I would never know it. Just stop for a second. I'll get to this a little bit later on. You've been off to a concrete company's rort last night where you got a little bit of folding and you've offended them about potholes.

I've got emails about them here in front of me. St. Paul Gallen's been paid a fortune to come and talk about leadership. It was a cash. Oh, you did it for nothing, did you? It was a small invoice. I never got paid. It was a small invoice. And I may have put my foot in it. You put your rubbish in it. Get out of it, you wombat. Now, Fergo, what's happened? What's happened? I'm rattled. So this morning, I went to my, as someone in the crowd, I went to my first dancing at Stedford. My daughter's five years old.

I'm not a dance mum. I'm not a dance mum. My husband, her name's Parker. Parker. Thought I'd give my little girl a boy's name and she is the most feminine thing on planet Earth, but that's all right. So she had her first ever dance at Stedford. I've been to her end of year concert, which is just, she goes to a dance school in Wollongong, loves it. She walks on her toes, cartwheels more than she walks along. So she loves it. Happy for her. But this is Stedford that I went to in Sydney. Sparrows fart. We had to leave home before 7am. Hmm.

So happy for her. Got the full hair and makeup brief. So I was feeling a little bit nervous getting her ready. But anyway, I made sure the hair was slick, put a bit of makeup on her. She's just turned five. And within her age group, I think they range from about five to seven. I could not believe there was 200 plus gorgeous little things running around. But the makeup, the makeup on these girls, they had fake eyelashes bigger than anything I've ever seen on anyone on TV. Yeah.

Oh, it was. I don't want to go into it too much. I'll be true to it all. You know that some parents have a name. Well, they were on Julian. It was an absolute hoot. But yeah, I'm torn between... I love seeing her have that much fun. It was awesome. And she does thrive. She thinks it's the best thing ever. So great. But also, I never want to be in that scenario again. I don't think it was so full on. Very competitive. So competitive. Well, they actually came second. And...

I think I was one of only very few quiet people not piping up that they should have got first. I didn't. You are a dance mom. No. You didn't. I'm happy for Parker that she loves doing her thing. I loved footy as much as she loves dancing, put it that way. But no, I was one of the, I reckon my husband elbowed me like seven or eight times. He's going, stop laughing, stop laughing. I'm like, did you see that?

that. I'm going to have to take issue with you here on something you said earlier. Please. You got up at Sparrows. You had to be up before seven. We had to leave at seven. Yeah, I got up at about five. I got up at about five. You know what? You're lucky she's not a labourer because they get up way earlier than that labourers. She's five years old. What? But I am lucky. I'm very lucky.

Thanks for that, big man. He's cracked himself up. He's even got himself there. Do you ever do any labouring? You ever do any labouring? Back in the day, yeah. Yeah, I did it. 30 years ago. Five-year-old carrying bricks on a job site. What about, my mud, Parker? Yeah.

Chuck it up. What about when you had to chuck bricks up the scaffolding? How hard is that? Get Parker onto that and see how she goes. You chuck bricks when you're a labourer. I did it for a little while. Up on scaffolding. They're laying bricks on scaffolding and you have to get the bricks up there somehow. So you throw them up to them and they catch them. Some of them. I saw a bloke throw four bricks at once. No. Yes, I did. No way. You wouldn't be allowed to do that in 2024. Mate, they did it. This bloke was just a...

Just an animal. Professional brick thrower. Yeah, well, he was a professional labourer. How high did he throw four bricks? You know what? If he was building my house, I'd be happy with that. You pay him by hour. I would say he threw it probably 10 foot. Wow. So three metres. Well, under three metres. 10 foot's under three metres. Is it? No.

I don't know. 10 foot's about three meters. That's a bloody good effort. Mate, but he was just a beast, this bloke. And that's all he did. He did laboring, then he did drinking, then he did laboring. That was his life. Laboring, drinking, laboring. How did he catch four bricks? Well, you can catch them because you threw them up together like that. They just somehow stayed together. They stayed together. And you just caught them up there. That's quite skillful. I was the catcher. I had great hands. Just ask me. I wasn't happy about it.

as this bloke was an imbo just kept throwing them and throwing them and throwing them i was pooped after a while but mate that's laboring for you anyway don't get parker under laboring 131 131 873 the number you can email us via the website you can text us as well 0 4 6 0 873 873 saturday afternoon with the continuous call team 12 all nrlw for all.com gold coast west tigers eight and a half minutes left in the first half a break back with more

Just quickly, inconclusive evidence and lack of desire from Dallin Mouteni's Lesniak to proceed with the complaint has meant Joe Offahengawi has escaped any sanctioning from the Match Review Committee. But that hasn't stopped manly prop Josh Oloye from taking aim at Offahengawi, labelling him a grub.

...for his apparent actions. Offa Hengawi came under scrutiny from the Match Review Committee... ...but was cleared this morning after being placed on report for a squirrel grip. The Match Review Committee looked at the footage... ...but there was no clear shot of Offa Hengawi's action...

Warriors winger Wateni Zelesniak also opted against proceeding with a complaint despite gesturing to his groin region during the Warriors' loss to Parramatta. It resulted in no charge for Ofahengawi, but that didn't stop Oloye from slamming the former Queensland forward. Just moments after Ofahengawi was penalised for the tackle, Oloye took to his Instagram to fire a shot at the Eels player and had a...

Big crack at him. Joe doing what he does best, a lawyer posted. Grubb, of course, the pair are ex-Tigers players, but their paths never crossed at the club. So that's one of the stories going around at the moment. Big man. I actually saw, watched that game, and he was blowing up the wing with Tenny Zalesniak, but I watched it again, and I agree with the NRL. I don't think there was any evidence that he grabbed him on the groin. His hand was in that area, but there didn't seem to be any

grabbing motion or anything like that as far as I saw and I don't see how they could possibly do anything to him. To be brutally honest, I don't think it's Josh Aloia's role to be commenting on it. Josh Aloia should be worried about his own game and his own team because he needs to. Let me tell you, he's flat out been in first grade. Mate, I didn't see the actual incident but I mean, I

It happens often. I mean, it happens. People grab things. I don't mean to do it. Whether you grab them or not, I'm not sure. I haven't seen it, but it does happen. Well, if there's no complaint on the field, can't do much about it. Play on. Exactly right. I think there was a complaint on the field. Well, no. According to this, they didn't want to go on with it. So that's what I just read out. So no complaint. 131873, the number. Josh Papali'i will become the 51st player to join the 300 Club in the National Rugby League. This is a

a great milestone for the Canberra Raiders star, and he joins Jason Croker and Jared Croker as the third player to reach the 300 club matches for the Green Machine, and I'm pleased to say he's on the line with us now. G'day, Josh. Congratulations. Congratulations.

Hello, guys. Thanks for having us on and thank you, mate. We often say playing one game in the National Rugby League is a wonderful achievement. Mate, to be playing your 300th game tomorrow against the Bulldogs, that is some achievement. How do you feel about it? Yeah, no, I'm pretty excited for the challenge. Obviously, a hostile place in Balmoral, but yeah, just looking forward to it.

staying in front of the Baltimore fans and hopefully walk away with the two points that would be nice. Papa, it's Gail mate congratulations on throwing a game should be very proud of yourself man I'm just wondering I know you retired from Origin last year is there any decision on your future and how long you need to go around for? Cheers Gail nah I'll sign on for next year that's

So that's it for me at that stage. We'll see if I carry on after next year, but sort of just taking it game by game, year by year, and we'll see what happens after next year. Big Papi, congratulations on a fantastic career. You've done everything, mate. You've played for your country, your state. You won a grand final, I suppose you have. I'm not sure if you won a grand final.

Not yet, brother. As always, he's had a tremendous career. I would have thought most of those 300 games you probably played would have been under Ricky, wouldn't they? Most of them? Yeah, I think this is me and Sticky's 10th year together. I was under David Ferner my first two or three years. And then Sticky come along and we've just been together ever since. I remember Sticky saying to me once about

You and your ability to play big minutes, you know, because there was a stage there where he actually, I wouldn't say compared you to me, but he did say that you're a bit chubby and you need to stop eating so much. He did say you did that and it did help your game immensely. You did get off the, you know, burgers and all the stuff, you know, around the place. And I remember him telling me, and I've always thought about that. I mean, clearly it's helped you along the way.

Yeah, I didn't stop eating burgers. I just ate less, I reckon. What could you do in a sitting? I'm interested in this. What about a fair dinkum sitting in the off-season? You're not trading. How many can you knock over, you reckon?

Probably I'll finish five and then jump in the corner. He'd give you a nudge. I know, he'd beat me with five. Pups, what's Sticky been like throughout the week? Has he pumped it up? I know the club's going to make a big deal and they're going to be selling your 300 shirts next week because it's a home game for the Raiders. But what's Sticky been like with you around the boys this week?

Yeah, he showed a few videos and just made it more about the team which I thoroughly enjoy. It's more what we can do as a team after getting the win in Balmoral it sort of puts us in a good position to be back in the top eight and that's our biggest focus at the moment is going to Balmoral and winning the game and the occasion will

fix itself after we get the result. Well, that's the thing, isn't it? You're one win outside the top eight and there's only a few rounds left in this regular season before we head into the finals. So you've got to position yourself inside that eight to play finals. You've got to finish top four to win the comp, history suggests. So the importance of this win, I'm sure, isn't lost on each and every one of you. Yeah, yeah, exactly right. You know, we're going to Balmoral and hopefully, yeah,

Get the win. That's the most important thing for us. And, yeah, hopefully we can get there and play well and, yeah, celebrate after. All right, fantastic. Well, Josh, we wanted to kick off the show by congratulating you. You've been a great ambassador for the game. 300 games in the National Rugby League, the 51st player to do it, and it's an exclusive club for a reason, mate. We wish you well tomorrow at Belmore, and congratulations to you. Hopefully your teammates can help you

celebrate that milestone with a big victory tomorrow over the Bulldogs. Cheers. Thank you very much, guys. Thanks for having us on. Good on you, mate. Enjoy those burgers as well. Josh Papali'i from the Canberra Raiders. 300 games, team. Gal, that's a great achievement for a bit of a warhorse in the NRL over many, many years. Yeah, he's been around for a long time. Papa has been a great player for a very long time. Started off on the edge in the back row and has since moved to the middle. And I've got to say, I reckon...

I can't remember if it was 2018, 19 or 20. One of those three years, I thought he was definitely the best forward in the world, not the best player in the world. It might have been the year they made the grand final. He was unbelievable. He led that team every single week and, in my opinion, was definitely the best forward in the world and he's had a wonderful career. Well, in his Queensland career, he was outstanding, wasn't he? I mean, you would have played against him a lot. But as a

Queensland, you had a lot of comfort when he was playing front row for you because you just knew what he was going to deliver. He was just such a great player. I thought they were going to bring him back this year. I know he's probably passed his bet. They were talked about it, yeah. You know, it wouldn't have been the worst thing. He wouldn't have let anyone down. And as I said from the start, I think they'd missed a big man that last game, but it wasn't a B. Thankfully, the Blues got the job done. You're a Papaliki fan.

Virgo? Big fan. Also, my husband goes for the Raiders, so we don't miss a minute of Raiders footy in our household. But he's always had one of those engines, and he's played 300 games, and he might be getting on in the next few years. But particularly when he was at his best, he just never gave up. He was very skillful, had good footwork just before contact, so...

always up over the advantage line. But I think the thing that I love about him is he just goes about his business and like, he's a pretty quiet, understated player and he's all about the team. Like, I love that. Even, even this week, like when I asked him about Sticky, if he made a big deal about it, I'm sure he wouldn't have wanted to. I'm sure like he, he genuinely, you can tell he's such a great team player and,

Just, yeah, has put his body on the line, obviously, a thousand times for his teammates. Good on him. Josh Papaliti, game number 300. Frank says, Mark, Alana, Gallon, Big Man. There might be a promo in this. The Olympics come around every four years. The continuous call team twice a week for about two-thirds of the year. Every program just gold. It's hard to argue with that, isn't it? Well, the only thing I would point out, we're on three times a week, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, but that's okay. Saturday and Sunday is the jibber part.

of the weekend. Yeah, it is. Great stuff. I think you do do a fair bit of jibber on Friday nights too. Yeah, very good point. A lot of time to fill, Darrell. Under 11, you know what it's like. Good point. We'll take a break. Be back with more. 131873, the number 0460 873 873 if you'd like to join us, the continuous call team. Look, just picking up where we left off with Fergo and going to this dancer's stead for this morning, it got me thinking, crew.

And, Gail, you've got four beautiful young children. Daryl, you've got kids as well who have grown up, of course. But I'm sure you were dragged along to things as a parent. And I'm thinking maybe our listeners can get involved in this as well. What's it like when they go along with kids to whether it be junior sporting events, Stedfords, you know, musicals, all that sort of thing? Because I...

I reckon it could be quite an eye-opening experience for a lot of parents. Gal, have you been through anything like that at the moment? Oh, yes, I've well and truly been through it. Not so much at the moment. Thankfully, my two youngest ones, they do dance, but they haven't got into as much as Charlie did. Charlie was going, she's the oldest one, she's 15 now, she was going, I reckon, five times a week dancing. It's crazy, isn't it? Absolutely insane. And these particular Stepfords that Alana's talking about, we used to do them, I reckon, almost for a year or two there, once a month.

It is the world's greatest rort. It's a proper cash grab. It is a proper. Oh, yeah. They've got boob tubes this big, $80 each for the top and the bottom, $160 an outfit, and then you've got to pay $50 a ticket plus to go. It's never ending. Plus on top of what you pay the school together. If you've got a daughter out there who likes dancing, get them to start their own at Stafford. Are you saying they've got boob tubes for the

tubes for the top and bottom. So wear a boob tube down below. It's a bit of material this big. It's $80. For the top, $160 an outfit, yes. Wow. And that was back when I was doing it, so it could be more now. And I'm assuming that because they're young girls, they want to look as good as the other girls. Yes.

Come on, Mum. Come on, Dad. You've got to buy me the top star. And the best thing is... You can't not buy it. You can't not. You have to. You can't not buy it. It's the uniform. It's the uniform. You can't not have it. It's insane. You have to have it. It's genuinely insane. And you do get some... You are lucky if they do a similar sort of dance in the same outfits. You are lucky. The people that are here before may sell it, like downsell it to you. So rather than $160, it might cost you $100 or $80, whatever it might be. You can get lucky like that. But on with Fergo with the...

The makeup is just full on. You've got to go get the makeup done too. My missus couldn't do it. She doesn't really do makeup. She doesn't really wear makeup that much, to be honest. So we had to get someone to do it. That's another expense. It doesn't end. Did you do the makeup yourself? Yeah. I would think most parents would do it themselves, wouldn't they? Well, I have missed a couple. My sister-in-law's done it because I'm at the footy generally on a weekend, but I scammed it. It was nice to go and watch her, but my goodness.

Let me put it this way. I'm glad they're far in between because it was insane. But my husband and I have already got an agreement that he'll do most of those in the future because they're not going anywhere. And I just can't wait for like my son is a proper rough nut. He is dead set. Me. Thank goodness. So I'll be chucking him in the boot and driving to parks or I don't care where. Dubbo, Wagga, whatever. Play footy wherever you want.

Dance dad, you're up. It is super cute, though. Like, honestly, it's your kids. They love it. It's the best. And look, at the end of the day, it is worth it all. I'm not saying I wouldn't do it. It is worth it. And it is brilliant to see them up there smiling and having an absolute ball. But when you stop and think about it, it is. You know what else it does? It's been happening since my kids were young, too. And they're in their 30s now. And the other ones in Brisbane, they're like in their 30s.

You're nearly in their 40s. But it's been happening forever, that sort of stuff. But you know what the beauty of it is? You do get to meet a lot of different parents, you know, because most parents do go to those things. It's like a netball carnival or whatever. It's a similar thing. Social. You do get to meet a lot of parents and, you know, form...

Great relationships with them. Do they get on a drink? At the end of year one that we used to go to, they always used to get on the drink. But I used to just love getting in and getting home and squeezing like good, to be honest. But I wonder if they stick around and have like an after party. Sure they do. What do the kids do at the after party? Well, that's actually something else that baffles me. They're so late.

The dance concerts, they finish at like 10.30 at night. What? Yeah, it's crazy. The Estedford, that's why I was actually pretty chuffed that it was this morning. But a normal dance concert's late at night. See, I grew up with a sister and she's obviously still around. She's living in England at the moment. She's Kevin's mother, right? Yes, that's right. Kevin the cat's mother. That's right, Kevin the cat's mother. But what I remember is I was dragged along with my mum and dad to her, is it?

physical culture or fizzy. Fizzy, yeah. And they just march around in a square. And I remember saying to my late father at once, I just said, are we seriously going to sit here all day and watch people just march around in a square? And then when I reached about, you know, 11, 12 years of age, I'm thinking, oh, this is all right. Hello. I'll come along. I'll come along. A lot of it comes back to cash, right? So I say to my missus,

It cost me $150 a year to register Cody for footy, $100 for a pair of footy boots, and that's about it. I reckon when Charlie was full on into it, I reckon we're spending, honestly, I'm not exaggerating, $10,000 to $15,000 a year. Wow. Easily. And then I hear one thing, okay, I've got three daughters. This has to end. This has to end. Give me one tomboy at least. Thankfully the two babies haven't taken it up. One's taken up league tag at the moment, so...

I'll stick her to that. I can't wait until I see Ruby and Mason next time. No, don't you dare. Me too. Has your girl started dancing yet? Yeah, that's a good idea. No, no. You shut up. What about Charlotte? Is she your boyfriend yet? No, she's down in the snow this week. Went on a school excursion down in the snow. She went to school. Did we? Classmates. There's a topic in that. There's a topic in that. I picked her up last night from Cronall Station at 10.30. You know what? In the snow, you know what happens? It gets very, very cold at night time. Yeah.

Daryl! What the hell was that? She's 15! What the hell was that? Well, mate, that's what happens when you go to the snow. What do you think they do at night time? 15's the age where it starts leaving. Thank you! It is! Alana Ferguson. It is. I'm Nick Ferguson. You dare say. Nile dad. I'm not into Nile at all. She's away from home. Hello. Yes, and she's with her friends. Thank you. You're absolutely dreaming, if you think. Your little girl's going up there. She's going to bed at 8.30pm. I know she's going up there. By herself. She still hasn't discovered boys. She's still a baby.

Mate, she's discovered attitude. He's freaking out. Oh, she's discovered attitude. Mate, she is. Mate, she gave attitude to Levy the other night. Yeah, she gave me attitude and it didn't go down well, did it? What'd she say, get stuffed or something? No, she just chewed and Levy said, you smashed her. I said, you might get along with it in front of your mother and father, but you don't get

to get around. So you're now disciplining his daughter. No, I wasn't disciplining her. I just gave her attitude back and she couldn't handle it, could she? She was a bit right on goodness. Anyway, alright, 131873 the number. I'm sure we've got plenty of parents listening. Have you been roped into going along to these dances, Stedfords? Is physical culture still a thing?

NRLWall.com. 1612 Gold Coast leading the West Tigers. Hi guys. I loved watching my kids play any type of sport. But when it came to dancing or singing, nothing worse than the school specials and your kids on last.

You have to sit through hours of smiling and clapping and you really don't give a crap. That's so true. Kind regards from Georgia. That's so true. Kind regards. I have three daughters and my tip for getting through a dance at Stedford is vodka in the water bottle.

Shane from Bundram. Yeah, I knew that was going to happen. Thank you, Shane. Fizzy is absolutely still a thing. My daughters are three and ten months, and I can't wait. Alana, happy to help you out with your daughter's make-up next time you're in Sydney. Been doing fizzy make-up for 20 years. That one from Margaret. And afternoon, boys, with the mention of Kevin the cat out of interest, does Levy's sister check in regularly to see how Kevin is going, or has she succeeded in dumping the cat on Mark? Chris at Redcliffe. Well, believe it or not,

I heard from her a couple of weeks ago when she had a flat tyre and it was simply help. I said, I don't know what I'm supposed to do from all these thousands of kilometres away. How's the cat going now you're sleeping in town? Well, I just had a message from my neighbours who I thought was looking after him and they just said, do you need us to feed him? I've heard some pretty few rumours about you this week. What's that? I've been down to Pronto a couple of times this week for lunch. Mark hasn't been there. There's been a fair few of his neighbours have been there. Mate, they tell me that you've got them on a rotation. Yeah.

What to feed the cat. Feed the cat, water the lawn, mow the lawn, make sure the house is locked up, make sure everything's okay. He's got all his neighbours on a rotation. That's what friends do for each other. I've got good neighbours, Gail. I don't think it is. Why not? I think you just lock your house and you go out of it and that's it. Well, I've got a cat there that's got to be fed. But that's your fault. How old are your neighbours? Are they young or old? No, they're older neighbours. Older neighbours are good. I'm lucky to have some very, very good neighbours. Sounds like a really nice community. See, the other day... Cedric?

The other day, my bin wasn't out. So I got back the next morning after doing work and the bin was out. So the neighbours obviously saw that I hadn't put it out, so they put it out for me. That's a nice thing to do for your neighbours. I'm saying you got them on a rotation. No, I don't. I just think it's taken advantage. Have they brought it in? I think it's taken advantage. Do they pay full price when they come to the restaurant? That's exactly right. I think it's taken advantage of the elderly. Well, believe it or not.

How old are they? Older than, old enough. Have they got seniors cards when they come to the restaurant? I pay them in alcohol and chocolates. Ah, when and where? I buy them bottles of wine and chocolates to say thank you for doing me a favour. I don't even reckon that would be market wage. I think that's unders. If they go in and put some biscuits in a bowl for the cat, what do you think I should be paying them? Well, enough. They're saving you time and effort and money doing nothing.

It's a fifth bottle of wine and chocolates. You need to get a check. What, $10 bottle of wine? Chapo's in again here. She scored three. Yeah, this is a hot trick. Hey, team. Got off lightly getting up at five to leave at seven for dance. Mo spent several hours more than that. I loved watching my daughters do their 30 seconds, but having to sit through hours of other kids rather slammed my head in the car door. Jase says, P.S. The show's always better when Fergo is on. Good on you, Jase. Thank you very much for that. Chris is at Penrith. Hello, Chris.

Hi, how are you going, boys? Good, thank you. Have you got girls involved in fizzy or dance? Yeah, I started fizzy when I was younger and then I got my sister involved and then now her children do it, her girls do it and her grandchildren. Oh, wow. So three generations. Do you go and watch, Chris? Yeah, I do.

Yeah, I do. I love it. It's great. And it's really good for the kids. And how long does it take, Chris, to get the kids ready and all that sort of thing? Are we talking hours like Fergo's just been through it?

Yeah, the hair, the makeup, the tanning. The tanning. I told you there's tanning. Hang on, the tanning? That's for Fizzy, though, not dancing. Fizzy has tanning. So, at what age does this start? Does this start, like, your daughter's five, Parker, right? Is that the age that they normally start? Yeah, so I think the first lot of us Stedfords are under, yeah, the first age group today was, like, six or seven. So, yeah, it must be about under sixes, I'm guessing. I don't know a lot. I'm the wrong person.

Does it go up until like they're 25 or something like that? Yeah, it goes to open. So I think...

So Charlie probably stopped when she was 14. So I reckon it goes 14, 15, 16, then opens. Maybe 17, then opens. It definitely opens. Do boys do it these days? There's a few boys that do it. There you go. Good on you, Chris. You're in the running for the $200 meat tray voucher from Stapleton's Quality Meats. And good to see you're still involved. That's Chris at Penrith. 131873. 2212 Gold Coast Leaning West Tigers. 10 minutes into the second half. NRLW4ALL.com. Let's get an Olympic update.

A Paris 2024 Olympic Games update. Thanks to Harvey Norman, proud to be Australia's official retail partner. Powered by LG, partner of Nine's Olympic broadcast. G'day there, Mike Pearsall with another Paris Olympics update.

Australia has won three gold medals on day seven of the Games. Kayleigh McEwan and Kem McAvoy both topped the podium in the pool, while Saia Sakakibara blitzed the BMX field. McEwan and Ella Ramsey have qualified for the women's 200 metre individual medley final. After winning two gold medals this week, Jessica Fox has returned to the water in kayak cross alongside sister Noemi. Jess says she's cherishing the chance to compete with her sister. Finally, she's been waiting. She's been on the sidelines and so proud of her.

Jess and Noemi have seeded second and eighth respectively for the first round. Jason Day remains in the hunt for a medal in golf at five under par after two rounds. Xander Schoffle, Hideki Matsuyama and Tommy Fleetwood co-lead at 11 under par. Checking that medal tally, Australia has climbed back above the USA into third place on the table with 11 gold medals, level with second placed France. China is still leading the way with 13. I'm Mike Pearsall. That's the very latest from the Paris Olympics.

that Paris 2024 medal tally was thanks to NRMA Insurance, a help company. We are talking dancers Stedfords and Mel at Spring Farm claims to be the world's worst dance mum. Hello, Mel. Hello.

Hey, hey, how are you? Very well, thank you, Mel. What makes you the worst dance mum in the world? I just have absolutely no idea where my girls are supposed to be or what time they're supposed to be there or how their hair's supposed to be. I'm continuously asking the teachers for help. It is an absolute nightmare, but they love it. So...

I have to keep trying. We might have to have a drink together, Mel. You sound like you're right up my alley. Mel, look, it can't be that hard. How many children, how many girls do you have? I've got two girls. Right. And they do, I think, about seven different styles each. Oh, my God. That sounds like hell on earth. It probably is harder than I thought. Mel, do you have a partner?

I have a husband, yes. Can I give you a tip? Yeah. So what's helped me get through the first 12-odd months of dancing is I remove myself from all of it. I don't take Parker to dancing. I'm not on the group chat on Facebook, which gives you all of the information about this, that and the other. It's all Guy. He gets the emails. He gets the Facebook notifications.

He told me what time we had to leave the house this morning, so I made sure that I obviously helped get out the door, but hand it over. You don't have to do it all. I'm sure you're already a super mum. Good stuff, Mel. Well done. You can be the world's worst dance mum, but I'm sure you're still a great mum as well. I've got to run. Just a quick one from Lumpy before we get to a break. Levy, I was paying my neighbour 30 bucks a week to pick up the poo off my lawn. He was a great neighbour until he found out I didn't have a dog. Thank you, Lumpy. LAUGHTER

Probably was in a hurry. Back with more in a sec. Yeah, we're 60 seconds away from the news at 2 o'clock.

Margaret says Fizzy has sections for over 70s.

It's a lifelong sport. Thank you very much for that. You'll always find the compulsory supplies and recommended hair and makeup are always friends for relatives. It's like a dance cartel and plenty of other people getting in touch with us as well. Mark, two best things in the world, good neighbours and the company of the Continuous Call team. Good on you, Frankie. We've got a break for some news. We'll come back with the next hour of the Continuous Call team as we do it from the interactive studio.

Yeah, great to have you with us on this Saturday afternoon. NRLW action continuing on the Gold Coast where it's the Titans 28 leading the West Tigers 12. 14 minutes left in the second half for all.com. 28 points to 12 Gold Coast leading West Tigers as we take you around the grounds. Following this match, the NRL men's game gets underway between the Titans and the Broncos. Team news is through thanks to Coles.

Win with the Winter of Sports giveaway on now at Coles. For the Titans, Jamin Jolliffe returns from a pec injury in the front row. Aaron Clark goes to the bench. Keenan Palacina drops out of the side. Tanner Boyd is the 18th man for the Gold Coast. While for the Broncos, they're 1-17. Josiah Karapani, the 18th man. And the Queensland Derby is officially a sellout. So Titans, Broncos getting underway in an hour from now. Who do you tip in this one, Big Mark?

I think I tipped the Titans. I went for an outsider and the Broncos are playing terribly. I think the Titans, they've got, I think, an okay record against the Broncos. They're at home. I think they can win. I think three of their last four Titans. Brisbane have lost, I think, five of their last six and gone to the Titans. Who'd you tip in that one, Fergar? Yeah, I went to the Titans as well, actually.

It's a similar reason. The Broncos, they're not so strife. What about Gally's worried about it because he's got 500 or 1,000 on the line with him? I went the same. I went the Titans instead of Raimondo, so not much of an outsider, I guess. We've had three guys here, right? Rono Raymond tipped them. Well, they are outsiders with the bookies. Yeah, really? They can't be too much, though. Just on the Broncos, Kevin Walters was asked this week about his future and all those sorts of things, and boy, didn't he bristle at some of the questions. As healthy and as energetic...

I love this club. I love coaching here. I love working with these guys. So, yeah, I'm ready to go this week. Give me a jersey and I'll run out, you know? You're the right man to coach the Broncos in the future, Kerry. I'm not even going to answer that, Joel. That's ridiculous. Yeah, well, you've been criticised, obviously. Yeah, but who's, you know, who's been critical? Like...

They haven't been in here and had a look at what we're doing. That's a silly question. What about Gordie, though? Were you disappointed that he came out and said that Adam should be moved on and Carrigan should be captain? I just addressed that. I thought, yeah, that's not going to happen. He's our captain. As long as he's still playing, he'll remain our captain.

You've had some of your old boys, I know they're coming from a good place, I suppose you would say, but even Chris Jones said some of the players, there are too many pats on the back and on TikTok too much. Where do you make it? It's coming from some of the guys you've played with. Yeah, well, I don't read any of that, and I don't want to make a comment on it.

Yeah, so, look, that's just the nature of the beast. I would have thought, Big Mum, when you're not winning, you're under a bit of pressure, so those questions are going to be asked. Well, it's hard for him, mate. I mean, you know, he's with a side that are playing well under what they should be. You know, they played the grand final last year and probably, you know, were a couple of minutes away from winning that game.

But this year they've been awful. They've had a few injuries, but so has everybody else. You know, State of Origin, I think, hurts them more than most sides, if not maybe more than any other side. But they weren't going particularly well even before State of Origin started. And, you know, during that period, I think they've lost five of their last six or six of their last seven. It's not good enough. I'll tell you what it shows to me. It shows to me how important senior players are. When you're winning games and everything's going okay,

No one really notices who's a senior player and who's not because everything's going okay. But when you start to lose three, four, five out of six games as they have lost...

That's when senior players, they bring everything back to being real simple and they just say the right things throughout the week. And I think the fact they've lost guys like Flegler, was Tom Gilbert there last year? The centre, Farmworth, Herbie Farmworth was there. They lost three or four senior players. I know they had to sign a lot of young guys and keep a lot of young guys out of the club, which hopefully will pay off for them in years to come. They've got a lot of senior players there. They've got Reynolds. Reynolds has been out most of the year. The last two or three games he's been out. Who else have they got? Well,

Patrick Carrigan's a senior player. Payne Huss is a senior player. I would have thought Billy Walters would be a senior player for them. I would have thought Katoni Staggs has been around long enough. I think they've lost senior players in Herbie Farmworth and I think Topgill was it? Capel. Capel was the other one, that's right. So they've lost three or four really good senior players and I think

I think that's a downfall. They've lost that hard edge. All them guys you spoke about are great players. But in my opinion, they've been around for a couple of years, but they're not old hard heads like they've lost. And I think that's where they've struggled this year. They've struggled for that hard edge. They've been underwhelming still for their roster. Like as you said, Big Man, sure, they've had some injuries. Most teams have, but they've got some quality players, the Broncos. And I think that's what's...

upsetting a lot of fans in the game is they've just they've been underwhelming you expect them to to be better and to be getting more results well we'll wait and see how they go this afternoon no changes to their side while for the titans jaymond jollof is back erin clark to the bench keenan palacia drops out of the side that team news for coals win with the winter of sports giveaway on now at coals now gal i mentioned this uh function you attended last night

where you were paid handsomely to appear and talk about leadership and all those sorts of things. I wasn't paid handsomely. You wouldn't have gone last minute. I didn't go for nothing. I was paid to go. I invoiced. But it wasn't just a function. I didn't invoice cash. I didn't invoice cash. I invoice. But it was a last-minute thing. When I say last minute, it was organised a week ago. So when I turned up, I got there and I said, who is this for? And they said, oh, it's for, they build roads.

I'm like, what do you mean? They said, there's like three or four different companies. They all build roads. It's called the Alpha people. I can't remember exactly what it's called. No, I can't remember exactly what it's called. Companies are a bore all there, like big companies, you know? I said, okay, so what are we talking about? They said, we want you to talk about leadership and teamwork.

And I'm like, hang on a second, I'm a footy player, I've come to talk about, you know, footy, I thought we were going to talk about state of origin, where the competition's going. They said, no, we want a bit of an angle on, you know, they want to get something out of it, leadership and teamwork. I'm like, okay, this is going to be good, I'm dead set getting to win this. So my first line was when I got up on stage, it was, hey guys, thanks for having me. I didn't know what I was going to be here for tonight, we're going to talk about leadership and teamwork. My preparation has been next to nothing.

It's going to be a lot like my 2GB show on Saturday with the big man, Daryl Broman. And we seem to go pretty well there. So hopefully this one goes okay. But anyway, during the night we're talking and everything's going okay. What's the company? I'm going to invoice them as well. You were mentioned quite often last night, actually. I mentioned you and Zach Bailey done the MC. But teamwork and leadership, we spoke about that. And teamwork, one thing I believe in teamwork is

what a good team does. Everyone knows their role. Now, you need a good leader to tell everyone what their role is, and then you need everyone to go and execute their role as good as they possibly can. And when you're doing functions like that, you try to turn it back into something that they do. Now, they build roads.

So I said, the thing about rugby league, everyone needs to know their role. Everyone needs to run the right line. If you're on the outside shot of a halfback, for example, that's going to be a no-try. But when you're building roads, you have to know your role. And I've got no doubt, someone stuffs up every time there's a pothole. And I did get a laugh. And Jack goes, hang on, what do you mean? A pothole. I said, mate, if everyone done their job properly, if everyone executed their role within the team that builds the roads, there'll be no potholes, surely.

And I got a bit of a chuckle from everyone. So it got me thinking when I left. Bit of a chuckle. Yeah, well, I thought, well, I didn't know if it was true or not. I think it was an awkward laugh. Was it awkward? Yeah, it was. Well, that's my question. I think I'm right. If everyone did their job properly. That's a surprise. No, well, hang on. But they're out.

They're out there doing roads. Let me get up off the floor. Hang on. What a shock. What's their job? What's their job? To build roads. To build roads. Okay. So everyone within that team has a job to do. One probably drives the truck that flattens it all out. One probably puts the asphalt out. I don't think it's a truck. Well, whatever it is, there's a roller. Right.

That is my question. That's what I want to know. Did someone not do the job properly, not put the right amount of asphalt in a certain spot or not cure it properly or not roll it properly? Or is it just the earth that moves and it's just bad luck? That's what I want to know.

Yeah, well, jeez, I wish I was there. Wish you were there, Levy? Awkward laugh at the start. Where was it at? It was at Dalton House. Oh, really? It was a big event. Did you wear a nice suit and a tie? I wore not a tie, but I wore a jacket. Sounds like a big paycheck. I bet you looked good. That sounds like a lot of money for you. That sounds like a fat appearance to me. No, no, actually, talking about leadership and teamwork, it should have been a fat appearance, but it wasn't. It was a favour. Yeah.

But you did. You got paid. With a small invoice. It's a favour. It doesn't count as a favour when you get paid. But when you go somewhere to talk about teamwork or leadership, that's a big event. That's like a serious invoice. Maybe there's a reason you didn't know until you got there. Yeah, that's exactly right. This was not a serious invoice. So you're asking the question about potholes. Potholes, yeah. So just aside from this, the other thing that I can never wrap my head around is sinkholes.

You know, you see these sinkholes that just pop up from time to time. How does that happen? There's just a hole in the earth. And do you ever notice where potholes are? They keep reappearing in the same spot. Now, that to me is because the person hasn't done their job properly. But I want to know, is that the reason or is it just the earth moving in the same spot? But hang on. So if the pothole always appears in the same spot...

Does that mean that same person keeps stuffing up that exact same spot? Wouldn't that not tell you that there's something more to the issue rather than the person not doing their job properly? No, maybe it's the same person going back to fix that spot over and over repeatedly. And, you know, they're probably getting paid for the hour to do it. What do you think they're pouring in? Dry sand? That's my question. I want to know why do potholes appear? If everyone has done their job properly, why do they appear? Let me ask you a question. Yeah.

If you're saying why do potholes appear, because people haven't done their job properly, is that correct? I'm asking the question, is that the reason? Why do you think you get a hole in your teeth? Are you saying God hasn't done a good job with your teeth? No, the person doesn't brush their teeth properly. Doesn't brush their teeth, eats too many lollies, and just wears away. Okay, fair enough. Just interested in that. I think there's a lot of people in the world who have got holes in their teeth, haven't eaten lollies.

I don't think you can always just blame lollies for holes in your teeth. Well, that's probably a medical condition. I'm not a doctor. Just back to potholes for a second. Don't build roads either. I'm asking a question. What's your question? My question is, do potholes appear because someone has neglected to do their job properly? And he's always right. I'm asking a question. But you think you're right.

No. Yeah, I do. You do? Okay. I do. I believe someone hasn't done their job properly. All right. 131873, the number Potholes. What causes Potholes? And is it because somebody hasn't done their job properly? Actually, Gal used to be nicknamed Potholes, you know. Why's that? Because he's always getting in the road. LAUGHTER

Bum, bum. Bought the house down with that one, big man. Levy loved it. It's better than what I got before it. Levy's delirious. He's tired because he's been calling the Olympics non-stop. Don't forget that. He has been. I know that. I know. Can you give him a wrap? I would never know unless he told me. Oh, you wouldn't have known unless he told you. At what point did I tell you that I was doing that? Yeah, when did he tell you that? You seem to keep raising it. Why do you keep bringing it up? You tell everybody multiple times. It's like a contract. What do you mean I'm telling everybody multiple times? I haven't seen anyone for a week. Oh, so now you're getting a bit touchy because you're tired.

No, because you're always right. I'm not always right most of the time. You're always right. I'm not always. All right, 131873, OMG, he is correct. How many potholes have you seen on a freeway from Tim? Well, there are none.

But that's because they use a different type of surface. So you're calling Tim a liar now? No, I'm not calling him a liar at all. You just said there's none. Tim is blowing up because there's so many potholes on the highway. You said there is none. He's agreeing with you, Paul. I know he is, but you're the one who's saying that. Just shut up and listen to yourself for a minute. So, Gal...

This is what he says, right? OMG, gal is correct. How many potholes have you seen on a freeway? In other words, you don't see any on a freeway because it's done properly. So he's agreeing with you. Do you understand, you fool? I understand he's agreeing. We're off to a break. Back with more.

All.com NRLW update. Gold Coast 28, West Tigers 12. Three minutes left in the second half. 28 to 12, Gold Coast leading West Tigers as we take you around the grounds for Uber Reserve. Just reading some of these messages coming through. Hansi says, one of my good mate's nicknames is Potholes because everyone wants to avoid him. Daniel at Sinclair is a civil engineer and he can explain this to you, Paul, a little clearer. Hello, Daniel.

G'day, Tim. How are you all? Very well, thank you, mate. That's good. So Gail is partially correct. If pavement isn't constructed properly or poor quality materials are used, then, yeah, that can cause failure of the pavement and potholes can form, for example. But the vast majority of potholes and pavement failures are caused...

by moisture or water ingress into the pavement. Because pavements, not to bore you, but they're not just the asphalt that you drive on. You know, pavements, especially on motorways, they can be up to half a metre thick. And so if you get a bit of water at a lower level of that pavement or a defect, that will, over time, that will reflect to the top of the pavement. And...

especially with the heavy vehicles like your trucks, that's what causes those potholes to form. I'm not having a go at the truckies out there, but when pavements are designed,

We don't actually look at the vehicle loading from a light vehicle or a car because it's insignificant. It's heavy vehicles which cause damage to pavement. And that's why you see so many potholes form when it rains because the moisture gets into the pavement. Gotcha. I've just been sent a text from someone. They also said it's because the person who does the compaction or the compaction of the ground. Compacting, yeah. Compacting of the ground, I suppose, before the bitumen goes down, they haven't done their job properly. Is that right or not?

Yeah, that's a big part of it. So the lowest levels of pavement, once we call you get to your subgrade, you cut to subgrade, and then they'll place material like crushed sandstone, for example, and that has to be compacted very well. If it's not compacted well, you get voids or air pockets which form, and that provides a path where water can get into it and over time make those air pockets bigger, and then that will form a pothole. I guess I would have been lucky. My talk last night was...

Right. It was. If everybody does their role, executes it correctly, we won't have these problems. Thank you, Daniel at Sinclair. Can we name and shame some of the worst roads with potholes for a moment? I've got one, Canterbury Road.

in Sydney. It is shocking. I don't know the last time. The last time they surfaced that road, I don't know when it was, but there are some massive potholes. There's one right next to, right before the Sydney, not the Sydney Harbour Tunnel, the airport tunnel in Sydney. There's a big one there that I sometimes just seem to hit every time I go along there. I know exactly what one you're speaking about.

On the left. Yeah, I know the one. I went through it today. It's a shocker. So I just think there should be a pothole department. Is anybody with me on this? A pothole department where people just go along and if they find one, they just fill it up. You know what? Once they fill it up, though, it seems to me as though once they've filled it up, it's still going to continue to become a pothole after a little while. That's why they've got a pothole department, Daryl. Just keep filling up the same holes. Fill it up.

You know what they should do? Whoever builds the road, just do your job properly. Well said, Cal. That's what they're going to do. That's why I was there last night. Is it easy? To give the talk last night. No, you weren't there for that reason. You were there to get money. That's true. I hit a pothole on the way into Yonge, country New South Wales. Oh, I've heard about this one. Did it ruin your whole wheel? I rode off two wheels. Two? Yeah, it burst two wheels and dented the rims of them. So I had to get new rims. I got stuck in Yonge for four or five days. You must have been flying.

No, no, I was doing the speed limit. It was 80 on the way into town. There's a couple on the team's way too. But I couldn't veer around it because it was one lane either way and there was a truck coming the other way, so I just had to hit it and hold on. Where were you going? To Young. Yeah, because I think I had something out that way not long after it. And it was after the rain. Shocking. Mate, the roads were horrendous. I want to talk about potholes. They were real bad, like big ones. And you couldn't veer around them because cars come both ways. Yeah.

Funny thing is that night we were down having a few drinks because I just needed to calm down. Christy, myself, and a few others, we were down at the pub, I think it's called the Australian Hotel. A bloke came up and said, oh, g'day, mate. Continuous call to him. I said, oh, what do you do with yourself? He said, I'm on the local council. I said, well, have I got a story for you? That poor bloke. Did you ask him to refund your wheels or fix your wheels up? No.

No. Yes, you did. You did, didn't you? Yeah, I did. Did he fix it? No. Well, what he said was, he said there is a way in which you can put an application through council to get some sort of... Really? To fix your car? To get something back or something along those lines. Did you do it? No, I didn't do it. Yeah, F it.

No, because a mate of mine looked after the wheels and the tyres for me, so I got a good price there. In other words, nothing. 1318732gp.com. Click onto the feedback icon. Ferris Road at Eastern Creek, the worst. Last year after a storm, I counted 21 cars all pulled over with blown tyres and damaged rims. That one from Cameron. Gal getting up road workers to do their job properly, acting like he never missed a tackle from Hansy. LAUGHTER

Oh, you've upset the road workers. Sorry, mate. Oh, no. You obviously are in charge of compacting, aren't you, mate? Just compact properly.

You're dirty on road workers now. You know what? I'm imploring all road workers across Australia, especially those with the stop-slow signs. If you see Paul Gallo, just leave him on stop for longer than expected. I'll be honest, Ryan. I actually enjoy watching people work. No, I do. I never really... Look, I was a plumber for a couple of years and I was a rugby league player, so I actually like seeing people work and have...

Have a go. Real interest in having a go and involving in their job. And I love seeing stop-go workers being into their job. I actually enjoy it. Do you know how much they get paid, those people? Yeah, they do get paid good money. They get an absolute mops up. But when they're doing their job properly and they're really involved in their job, I actually think it's good and I like it. So what do you really like about a stop-go person in their job? I like when they do it properly. I like when they're on the job.

When they're on the microphone. Listen, when they're on the microphone. Microphone. They've got the walking, talking, and they're talking to the other one to make sure the cards are... I don't like the ones that sit there and they obviously... What about when they're on their phone? Yeah, that's no good. That's shocking. But when they're doing their job properly and they're really into it and involved in it and they're really enjoying it, having a lot of... Yeah, fun.

Fun and... Or just a bit of a smile and a wave to those ones. Yeah, I like it. And there's a long wave. Hang on, hang on. Can I just pick it up on something? I enjoy watching people when they're having fun doing their job. They've got two options. Stop and slow. How is that fun? Because listen... It's a job. They either sit there like this, like their heads down on their phones or they're just doing that. And that's no good. But when they're into their job, they see the cars come and stop.

hand up, walk your target and make sure the other end stops slow. I enjoy that. I enjoy watching people when they build houses. You know what they do? They start singing Spice Girls songs. Stop. How does that go? Stop that now. Thank you very much. I need somebody with a human tongue. So all things, I actually really enjoy watching people work. I think it's pretty cool. Mm.

Building houses, plumbers. That's beautiful. Road workers, when they don't put potholes in there. You like watching plumbers work? Yeah, I'm being serious now. When I see people working and having a go, I think I like it. You know the ones that I don't like, speaking of road work, have you been to the new ones where they've got the little boom gate thing? Yep.

Yes. They take longer than a normal person. Like an AI type thing. Well, see, this is the thing, right? So this is obviously a way of getting these things. They take forever. They're horrendous. There's actually, when I've been living nine on a Monday night late in the past few weeks before the Olympics.

You can't get on the bridge on the left-hand side. And that's what they have. They have that thing there. And it does take ages. Painful. 131873, the number 0460 873873. A couple of people on the text line saying they're very, very attractive young women who do the stop-slow signage these days. Usually backpackers that are getting...

So you two both think they get well paid. Can you tell me what do you think they get paid? I honestly reckon $60 an hour, maybe more. Because it's dangerous because they're on the road. So my sister-in-law did it for maybe six months ahead of when she went to Europe.

And then after hours... So 60 bucks an hour. I reckon it could be more. I reckon it could be more. So you're saying they're dragging over two grand a week. I reckon they would easily. It's more. She got more money doing that than what one of my brothers got working in the mines. Particularly after hours. Like when you're working like at midnight to dawn. Yeah, you do the right shifts. Yeah, you do the right shifts. I reckon they could be getting 100 bucks an hour. Like it's massive money.

Might have to find something else to do. Imagine if you got it tax-free. That would be even better, Gal. Hello? Cash jobs? I don't think anyone pays cash. I haven't seen $100 in a few years. That's because it's all buried under your house. You are full of it. You said to me at the Grand Open, Louisville, have you got a couple of 50s? I've only got 300 in green ones. You are a liar. He's just found a couple. He's too good with the G-string. We're off to a break on the way to the break time for an Olympic update.

Good afternoon, Mike Pearsall with your Olympic update. A huge day for Australia on day seven with three gold medals through swimmers Kayleigh McEwen, Cam McAvoy,

and BMX racer, Saya Sakakibara. But we've had plenty of success elsewhere too. Matt Ebden and John Peers will play for a gold medal in tennis into the final of the men's doubles. Annabel McIntyre and Jess Morrison have won bronze in the women's pair rowing. Jason Day has kept himself in touching distance of a medal in men's golf. He's five under par, six shots off the pace after two rounds. Claudia Hollingsworth has qualified for the semifinals of the 800 meters at the athletics track, coming second in her heat.

The Boomers went down to Greece in men's basketball but have snuck into the quarterfinals thanks to Canada's win over Spain. Looking at the medal tally now, Australia is up to third on the table with 11 gold medals. We sit only behind France, also with 11, and China, which is the outright leader, with 13, behind Australia, the US, and Great Britain with nine. I'm Mike Pearsall. That's the latest from the Paris Olympics.

That Paris 2024 medal tally was thanks to Woolworths, proud fresh food partner of the Australian Olympic and Paralympic teams. Well, 131873 is the number. Mark Levy, Alana Ferguson, Darrell Broman and Paul Gallen. Gold Coast Brisbane coming up in about 25 minutes from now. We'll update the scores on that as we take you around the grounds for Uber Reserve. And I just looked up, of course, racing on today. They're about to jump in the sixth at Doobin, which gives me an opportunity to plug the fact

that Darren Flindell, the voice of Sydney Racing, will be calling the footy with us tomorrow. I'll have a little breather and Boom will be in here to call the footy with you, Darrell, and Piggy Riddell. So that'll be a bit different for you. Yeah, it'll be good. I don't know him particularly well. I've met him a few times, but he seems like a lovely bloke. He's a great race caller and

you'd imagine he'd be able to transfer that over to the rugby league. He's a mad West Tigers fan, I understand. So fortunately he's not calling their game, which is good because they got smacked. I think he's got a West Tigers game next week. Has he? That might be interesting. He might storm out like he did at Shark Park when they were getting pumped. Well, at least he turned up. 131873. That's Chris Warren, by the way.

He's on today's. What about Chris? He forgot he was working last night. So I called one of the rowing races. It goes seven and a half minutes. And I thought someone had died on the outside of the window. And the boys walked in and said, oh, we need you to do the first half until Chris gets here. I said, oh, that'll do, mate.

Anyway, he got there for the second half. That's the main thing. Now, boys, one of the stories that broke yesterday involves Stefano Yatouk Amanu, who is, as we know, leaving the West Tigers at the end of the season, and he's heading to the Melbourne Storm. They've secured his services on a three-year contract until the end of 2027. Frank Panisi is their general manager of football, and he's on the line. G'day, Frank.

Hey, Mark, how are you? Mate, really well. The last time we spoke, you weren't sort of sure where this was at at that point, but gee whiz, you've got your man and it's a great signing for the club.

Yeah, it was pleasing for the club yesterday. Obviously, we were out of our cells in the Bulldogs and it's a 50-50. It has been all week. To get the final call and say that he's coming down here was pleasing. Look, he's an exciting young forward. He's closer to the raw end of his career rather than the finished product. And I think that's what makes it exciting in terms of what he could potentially be in over the next few years under Craig Bellamy's coaching.

Mate, he's a super player. We all know that. Look, the stuff I was reading up here was that his wife wasn't keen to go to Melbourne. Were you aware of that? And if you were, how did you fix that problem?

Yeah, in terms of saying we were aware that there was some reluctancy, but not so much reluctancy, but very close to her family. But she spoke to a few of the other partners that have moved from interstate, and I think that made her feel a lot more comfortable, Darrell. So I think that was a big factor in getting him over the line. I've got one sentence for you. Happy wife, happy life there, Frank. There's a lot of truth in that, Darrell. We all know that. It's the best part of our life.

Frank, what about Big Nelson? What's it mean for him? There's been some rumours floating around he may be leaving the club. I'm not sure if he's off contract or not, but can you give us an update on him? Yeah, no, there has been some talk, but no, he's going nowhere. If anything, this is actually a complimenting gal. One thing over the last few years, he's been the only big forward we've really had. We've got a terrific pack we're really proud of, which doesn't get the accolades of the Panthers forwards or the Roosters forwards and a few other packs.

We've got great workers in Christian Welsh, Tui Kamikameka, Josh King, a couple of exciting young forwards off the bench in Alan McDonald and Joey Chan have got great leg speed. But Nelson's the only big man. In our premiership years of 2017, as you would know, we had Nelson, Jordan McLean, Jesse Bromwich,

2020 with Jesse Bromwich, Nelson and Tino. So we really lacked another big man. So it's put more pressure on Nelson. So is this going to help Nelson with anything at all? Made a big weekend down there this weekend. You got the Dragons. How are the boys looking for that?

Yeah, Penrith did us no favours last week, Gal. I mean, putting on 40 on their home ground and we know any team that gets trounced like that, especially a team coached by Shane Flanagan, they're going to come out roaring. We'll see a bounce back. They're a team with a lot to play for. They're just on the edge of the eight. With the Dolphins losing last night, that really gives them something to have an extra to play for. So we're expecting a really good game. I think it's just a few minutes, so really concentrating on our start tonight.

You are on a pretty good run though, seven straight, Frank. The big change, obviously, Cam Munster gets to start, so it moves Ty Wishart to the bench. Obviously, we all know what a freak Cam Munster is, and he'd be pumped that he doesn't have to watch any footy from the sidelines. But talk to me about Ty Wishart, what he's been like. I thought he's done a really good job just watching the footy, not only filling in, but taking a bit of control, particularly towards the back end, that he played a fair few games in the halves. Yeah.

Yeah, Lonnie has. He's been here a couple of years now. We've signed him back in 2021 during COVID. And, you know, he's been a good fill-in player, back-up player. But this year he's really put his hand up to be a starting player. And he's played multiple positions in our team. I think he's played every position in the back line. He's played dummy half and he's even played a little bit in the ruck. But he came to us as a half and really hasn't had too many opportunities over the last few years.

especially if we do lose one of our halves, Jonah Pezet fills in. So he got his opportunity, and I just thought he lifted to another level. He's been one of our form players over the last six to eight weeks. I couldn't agree any more with you, mate. I think he's an outstanding player, and he can handle any position just about. Good kid, too.

Oh, wonderful. I mean, you know, it comes from good stock. You know, the Wishart family, you know, Rod was a champion player, but even a better bloke. And he worked hard. You know, boys love playing with him. And, you know, he's just taken his game to another level since he's been given that number six. And, you know, I think he's a valuable player for the team now. He's more than just a backup or a fill-in. I think he's going to be a real weapon for us off the bench going into the finals. Frank, one of the reasons I love rugby league, and, you know, it's been part of my life forever, is the fact that when time's tough...

You know, clubs stick together. And I see that, unfortunately, Cameron Smith's mother passed away a week or so back. And Craig went to a funeral, which I think is just a wonderful thing. You know, I mean, Cameron Smith's obviously a legend of the club. And during a tough time, I think it's fantastic that Craig went there and represented the club.

It certainly was, Daryl. It was sudden. She hadn't been ill. It was just a sudden which shocked everyone and knocked about Smitty as well. But yeah, Craig wasn't in training yesterday. He went up for the funeral. It speaks volumes of their relationship, obviously. It's a close relationship over a long period of time as captain and coach.

And, yeah, the Smith family, obviously, he played such a long time here and a major part of his life. And his mum, Sonia, you know, all the major milestone games that Smithy played or just would come down a couple of times a year. So we all knew Sonia was. She was a real character. And, yeah, we were all sad with the news. And, you know, it's only going to...

this fitting that we pay tribute to tonight by the boys wearing a black armband. All right, Frank. And one last one before you go, mate. This weekend, Harvey Norman Women in League round, and I know the club is going to highlight a variant cancer and the need for more research and more funding. Cameron Munster's wife, Bianca, is an ambassador for that, which is lovely.

Yeah, it is. And we're using Donate, which is the donating organs. And the boys have reached out this week by wearing beanies and T-shirts, promoting Donate and encouraging people to donate organs, which is really important. And I think at a great weekend, it's Women in Rugby League. So all those things you spoke about, Mark. We're also going to showcase the Women in Rugby League.

In our game down here, we're trying to grow the game with the girls and the women playing the game. The numbers are increasing every year. With the aim one day of fielding an NRLW team, which would be a fantastic thing that we're looking forward to as a club. Great stuff. All right, Frank. Well, great news for the club with the signing of Stefano Yutoi-Gamano over the next three years until the end of 2027. And we wish you well in this game coming up against the St. George Lawara Dragons. Thanks for joining us.

Thanks, mate.

I made my debut for the Storm in 2019 and have played 84 matches and scored 59 tries. That's the first of the clues. And another little clue for you is he's a Melbourne Storm player. Debut for the Storm in 2019 and have played 84 matches and scored 59 tries. We'll give you two more clues, then you can give us a buzz on 1300 722 873. 1300 722 873. Big man. Levy, I've noticed a big issue in rugby league. It's just popped up on the screen. I've been watching.

Kevin Walters being interviewed by Fox. He's got no eyebrows. What? Kevin Walters has no eyebrows. It's true. Now, I'm hoping they haven't had a mid-season drink and he's been attacked while he's been sleeping by the players because next time you get an opportunity to see Kevin Walters up close, just have a look at his eyebrows. He doesn't have any. They might have needed a bonding session. Maybe he got blocked. He's led the way. It went from Kevvy to...

to Pat Carrigan who definitely gets his eyebrows done. Big Mark looked at me and pointed at the screen and that's what I thought you were talking about. He dead set 100% manicured. They look like yours, Bergo. I reckon Rhys Walsh would get them done as well for sure. I reckon a lot of them do these days. No, but I'm worried about Kevin. He's worried that much his eyebrows have fallen out. I've never heard of something like your eyebrows falling out from worry, but he's got no eyebrows. That's outrageous. That's actually a really good topic. How come

your hair falls out on your head but doesn't fall out on your eyebrows. There he is. Have a look. No eyebrows. He's been plucked. Who's plucked, Kevvie? Oh, the poor bugger's fallen asleep. Oh, no. Oh, no. Can we ring Dave Donaghy at the Broncos and find out what's happened to Kevin Walters' eyebrows, please? Oh, look, he's being there. Cuddle by blocker. Don't fall for it, Kevvie. Double agent.

New South Wales, don't fall for them, Kevin. This is why you're on the big bucks, Daryl. You pick up on these things. Yeah, thank you. And there's Rhys. I was looking at his eyebrows. I think half of the Broncos team get their brows done. I reckon at least. So does it hurt getting them plucked? I get mine threaded. What? What the hell does that mean? Mine have never been plucked. I haven't been plucked for ages. It sort of looks like, almost like dental floss.

Is it? Dental floss. Like they, yeah, it does each hair follicle without using wax. So yeah, it's with a string. It does hurt, actually. Are you saying they take eyebrow stuff out with dental floss? So they should thread it across, do they? It's string, yeah. Almost like stitches, almost like stitching where they thread it in there. I'll have to find a video. Oh, wow. It's pretty intense, actually. You're learning a lot of great stuff today. So you can get a more crisp...

Adam Reynolds, he wouldn't have his pluck. No way. Waxing doesn't hurt as much. Well, I haven't been waxed. Threading hurts more than waxing. I'm anti-being waxed. I don't want to be waxed. If they wax down there, I might have issues finding anything. You know, as if they cut it. No, I can't talk about that. Look what's on the waxing pad. How did that get there? I wonder where that's been for 68 years.

Just fell off.

Now, I think we've got an issue with our system, so we can't take any breaks at the moment. So, you know, that means we just get to keep talking. Do you want a topic? What do you want to talk about? As long as it's not you getting a wax. No, I'm not talking. Gal, stop sending me messages talking about this morning at your place. I don't want to talk about it. You go on and on all the time. Don't be doing that, please. Don't be doing that. I've got something here for you, Levy. Yeah.

I did a Lowe's thing during the week, and I've never done this before. We did it on a P&O ship, a cruise ship. Oh, wow. I called it a boat. They told me not to call it a boat. It's a ship. And, mate, I didn't realize how big they were until I actually got close. They showed me, like, the executive suites and all the good joints up the top of the suites.

They're quite nice. I didn't realise they were quite as big as what they were. So you've never been on a cruise ship before? I have, but it was the Ming Wah when I was at Penrith and we were on an inter-season trip. I was a bit gone. I was a bit off the head. Did you feel the waves when you were on the ship? No, we didn't go out. Oh, the old days? Yeah, I got sick. I got seasick. Have you been on one, Fergo? Yeah, so we did one. We've done a couple of... It depends...

What kind of a cruise line you're on? So we did a couple of huge ones. We did one in Europe and then we also did one like it left America but it went around like the Bahamas and Haiti and Mexico. It was the best. It was honestly everything.

But like as a kid, so I must have been like late teens, but I've got a couple of younger brothers and one older. Like it's free food whenever you want it. Free ice cream. As an adult, drinks. There's drinks packages. But there's like, take your pick from 13 restaurants. They're ridiculous. So on those ones, you couldn't feel any waves. So you go on there and you just, you pay once to go on there. Correct. You can. There are restaurants where you can pay extra to go to the top of the shelf stuff. Top notch ones, yeah.

But they've also got gaming machines there in tables. So you do have to take some cash or some money at least. Now, team, I'm just going to butt in if I can. Yes, please do. We need to attempt to take a commercial break. I'm going to hope it works. So, Mr. G, let's see what happens.

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.

Wonderful to have you with us. 131873 the number. Time for this. Now it's time for Pointsbet's new NRL experience. What's gambling really costing you? For free and confidential support, visit gamblerhelponline.org.au. George Rose is online from Pointsbet. Hey, George. Hey, boys. How are we? Good, mate. We've got the Storm Dollar 10 Dragons, $7 Outsiders for tonight's game at Amy Park. You'd be tipping the Storm in this one, wouldn't you?

Oh, you have to. I mean, I love the Dragons and all, but the odds are well and truly against them, and rightfully so. The Storm are looking red-hot at the moment. Yeah, they've scored 96 points in the last three games. The Dragons, on the other hand, conceding 114 in the last few games. What about your same game, Mouldie George?

Well, look, I think the Dragons are going to try and find a bit of pride in this one. The defence will be a little bit better. So I've got Dragons with a 16.5 start. I've got Warbrick any time try scorer, and I've got Wishart any time try scorer. All right, and you've been having plenty of luck with these. So Dragons with a 16.5 start, Warbrick to score any time, and Wishart to score any time. And, George, we'll check in again in the next couple of hours. You're a good man.

Cheers, boys. Have a good one.

It says, congratulations to all our Olympians. We are so proud of you. All the best to the Titans. Isn't that a nice little touch? That's cool. That is great. He's a different sort of beast, isn't he, Desi? So good on him. I think it made everyone to be happy with how the Aussies are going. They're equal second, I think, on the medal tally, aren't they? I think so, yeah. I think they're running third with all the medals, but...

Bloody good effort. They're going great, guys. So good. Sakaki Barra today in the BMX. Couple of goals at the pool. What a legend. She's from Helensburg. Is she? Yeah. Were you going to mention the girls earlier on? Well, I don't feel like I should have to. But, yeah, it was raised on Thursday night that

All the medals, all the golds came in from girls. We did get our first male gold medal overnight. But someone in particular that I work with, a colleague, was quite surprised. Really? Yeah. And I was like, well, all right. No news to me. Girls are the best. They've been fantastic. Investors, girls are the best. Who are you bagging? Who am I bagging? Which colleague? I can't say that. Don't say that. Don't say that. You know what? I sent them a text. So...

It's a, what do you call it? A meme. Yeah. A meme and it's a picture of, it's funny. Like memes are funny, aren't they? Yeah, they are funny. It's a picture of like almost like a skeleton and it's lit up in the lower back in red.

What does it say? And it says, breaking news, Australian female athletes suffering back pain from carrying all of the gold medals. So I sent it his way. What about Jess Fox the other day doing under her eyes? Shoes allergic, de-puffing. How good was that? Oh, I've got another eye that's been puffed. I'll just get my other one.

She might win a third. I just saw it up on the screen then. She was in second place. She'll be hard to beat because she's just a competitor. She wants to win everything she does. It's always, and the word inspiring gets thrown around, but it is always inspiring watching these athletes go for gold. All the hard work toiling away and they're going great guns at the moment. We're off to a break. Back with more.

Now, it takes a lot for your team to make it to the top of the ladder, grit, determination, commitment, but it all boils down to a player's attitude and mindset before a game. It's hard work all season, but you know what isn't hard work? Uber Reserve. Whether you're catching a flight, going to a concert or some other special event, or you just want a stress-free way of getting to the footy this weekend, with Uber Reserve, you can reserve an Uber ride in advance from 30 minutes up to 90 days. When you know you need to get there, just head to the Uber app, conditions apply, reserve now, ride later with Uber.

They're making their way out the Gold Coast in Brisbane for the first of today's three games at Seabus Super Stadium. Adam Reynolds on screen. Just the eight games this year for the Brisbane Broncos. They need that experience and they need to start winning some more football games. So plenty of pressure on them at the moment, the Broncos. We'll let you know the scores on that when we come back from the news. Yes, welcome back. Continuous call team on a Saturday afternoon. Gold Coast in Brisbane.

Mr Professional's eating when he's on air. He had a mouthful of food everybody. Let us take over, take over Gil. Hello, good afternoon everybody. Excuse me. Yeah, you're right. Excuse me, I've just been handed some butter chicken for lunch that I've warmed up from the fridge. Smells good actually. It does smell very nice, but it's always the way. I've timed it poorly, so now I'm going to have to wait 20 minutes before I can eat it. Anyway, we'll be right.

As Big Bart said, unprofessional. Anyway, play on. How's it unprofessional? Well, if I'd done it, it would be extremely unprofessional coming from you. No, no, no. But I host the show. You sit over there and eat while we're on air and on your phone and everything else. So don't tell me I'm unprofessional. You are one of the most unprofessional people I've ever worked with. No, no. I've never.

I've never been caught eating on air like you just were. Oh, you've been caught out there making money doing videos for other things. That was years ago. Oh. That was years ago. The tide has turned now, my friend. That was years ago, mate. Anyway, welcome back, everyone. Continuous Call Team, Saturday afternoon. Playing away on the Gold Coast, nil all between the Titans and Brisbane. That's after eight minutes of playing the second half. Oh, and not to mention, you're always late for the show. I have not been late once. Up, up, up. Nil all the score. Gold Coast, Brisbane.

Seven minutes gone in the first half as we take you around the grounds. In the games played last night in the Harvey Norman Women in League round, the Roosters beat the Dolphins 40-34. Parramatta beat the Warriors 30 points to 20. And the Cowboys over the West Tigers 48 points to 30. There was a send-off in that Thursday night game. Justin Olam was given his marching orders for a high tackle. This is what Benji Marshall had to say after the game. Well, I mean...

I've got a group of guys in there who are feeling pretty down about it. And I guess the easy thing for me to do would be able to come out and say that it was a bad decision and that he got it wrong. And...

Sinbin probably would have survived, and we've seen plenty of those this season, but I'm not going to say that. So that was Benji Marshall's take on it. What did you guys think? He just said it. That's so good. Yeah, I'm with Benji, though. Sandoff would have been plenty. Ten. Ten in the Sinbin. Oh, sorry. Yeah, 100%. I was on the side at the time. I have not seen a replay of it, but what got me is if a referee and a touch judge within – the referee's probably within 10, 15 metres of a touch judge is generally –

within 30 metres of it. Obviously, if they see nothing wrong with the tackle, I just don't think it should even be a penalty. And if he has done the wrong thing, which he did, deal with it later. So he wasn't even sent for a HIA. So for starters, there's been no penalty given. He stayed down, waited for a penalty to be given. Then a player was sent off for the game.

And then the player did not even have to go for HIA. I just thought the whole thing was a bit ridiculous. And I thought 10 would have been fair enough. And look, it did ruin the game. From that point on, they weren't going to lose. But the Tigers' credit, they hung in there. I said at halftime on the night, I said the Tigers are probably the better side here. They come in after halftime, score after five minutes, and we're probably on top up until that point.

You know what it does show? It just shows the inconsistencies in the game. That same tackle could be made nine out of ten times. They might get sin binned, might not even get sin binned, but

But, you know, the referee was pretty decisive. You know, he said, you came in to make a tackle, you hit him in the head, you had an opportunity not to hit him there, you're off. Something like that. The referee said that after it stopped and went to the video. So did the referee see that on the video? Where did the referee see it? Because he saw it live. Well, he's refereeing the game. He should have seen it. He saw it live. It didn't imply a penalty. Hmm.

Did not do anything until the player stayed on the ground. Well, maybe he saw the replay. I don't know. I don't have a problem with looking at the replay. Are they supposed to watch the replay? I don't know. Well, the bunkers obviously said something to him. Human nature says you watch the replay. Yeah, well, I just think if the referee doesn't see it live, it should be playing.

You know what else was just away from the negativity, the positive last night, I thought, was the game in Perth. It was a sellout. Massive crowd. And at a time when we're talking about expanding the game and potentially a team in Perth, I mean, they turned up in numbers which said to me that that's them saying to the NRL, we want a team sooner rather than later.

Absolutely. And I think there was a lot of people, fans there, showing placards and things like that saying the same thing. They do want a team there. And I think they deserve to get a team there. And I think they'll get a team there pretty quickly. I want to go back to the previous, the 6 o'clock game, the Warriors and the Eels. I did watch that. Maybe you guys might not have been able to see that. But I did have an opportunity to watch it.

Mate, the scoreline flatters the Warriors big time. I think they were down 30 points to four at one stage. They might have got the last three tries in the last 10 minutes or so. But the Eels were just outside the first 20 minutes where the Warriors did dominate, but they couldn't score any points.

The Eels just hung in, hung in, hung in, and that was as good a performance as I've seen from them for ages. They were really good. I thought the hooker was really good. Brendan Hands, I think it was. I can't remember. It was him. He was outstanding. I think he topped the tackle count. He made more metres than I think any other player on the Eels side. Gutherson was great again. There's a lot of question marks over where Gutherson sits with regards rugby league and where he sits with regards football.

the Eels, brilliant try from Reece Walsh. Oh, that was classy. I was just watching it. I mean, he's just threw a gap, kicked ahead, regathered, scores. What a player he is. Anyway, but that was a really good performance from the Eels and they needed it because they've been going like bastards. The Warriors are just...

They're just a shadow of what they used to be, even though Gale thought they'd probably win the grand final. Oh, I didn't think they'd win the grand final. I do think they'd make the grand final. I did. I thought they had the ability to do that. If Sean Johnson could play in any of the ways he played last year, he clearly hasn't been able to do that, but he hasn't been playing that much either. But they've been...

They've been a massive disappointment. I don't know if that's their best side, but it's not far off. It's not far off. Them and the Broncos have been very disappointing. Disappointing. So has Parramatta. Parramatta won last night, beat them last night, but they've been ordinary too all year. So there's been three or four clubs that have been really disappointing this season. Audrey?

I'm just watching this try from Reece Walsh, and I know we say it time and time again that he's a star and everything else, but his pace off the mark is something else. Well, they had shape on the outside. He saw the gap, and that's what gets him through that space is he sees the space between the two defenders, but that electric

pace and then just obviously skills puts in a little grabber for himself and he can turn the opportunity. He's got a football brain too. I mean, a lot of people, that last bounce wasn't kind to him and he had to wait and time his run to pick the ball up cleanly and he did that. He beat Fafida pointlessly here, put the kick in.

And he just timed his run for it brilliantly. And I've got to say, a little bit like, what about the Roosters halfback, hasn't it, Walker? Sam Walker, yeah. Hasn't he turned into a quality player? Those tries in the first half were phenomenal. He's an absolute gun. He's just a footballer. Now, the Titans skipper here, Kieran Foran, is remonstrating with the referee. I'll tell you what he's blown up about. Actually, I'm surprised they didn't look at it.

Pat Carrigan offloaded the ball and he pulled a player down after he offloaded it and that's where the gap appeared. So the player who he pulled down couldn't cover that space that Rhys Walsh took. That's what he's blown up about. Now, the bunker did look at it, but they obviously didn't go to the referee and say, let's check it even more. But I understand what Foran's talking about there. What about the gamesmanship here? Reynolds is setting the ball up

to kick the goal while the referee's probably two metres away from him talking to Foran. Oh, there's eyebrows. Well, but there was drama because he wasn't, he was obviously not happy with what was going on there, Kieran Foran. And then as he walked back, he walked between the ball and the goal kicker right in his path.

Before he kicked it, I just thought it was just a bit of gamesmanship. Good on him. See this awful bounce, and then he gets a good bounce. I mean, he's a quality player, this kid. Great try. Great try. 6-0 the score. Brisbane leading Gold Coast. 12 gone first half. That's as we take you around the grounds for, of course, Uber Reserve. So 6-0 Brisbane leading Gold Coast. We are the continuous call team.

So 6-0 the score, Brisbane leading Gold Coast. 15 minutes gone in the first half, 6-0 the score. Brisbane leading the Gold Coast as we take you around the grounds. Just for everybody listening out there, Mark's can't talk at the moment, he's got a mouthful of food. No I don't, it's just a slippery little grain of rice that's slipped up. Has he gone into Guinea? He's put a bomb up, he's outjumped the fullback. There's not much of Kinney and that's one problem he's got. He outjumped Kinney, took it beautifully and just scrambled over. I mean...

He is a superstar. He's playing like a man possessed at the moment. There's the kids in the stand with the big posters of Reece Walsh's head. He's got a little moustache there, I noticed too, Reece. He's had it for a little while. But look, he's put the kick up. He's chased it himself. It's a one-on-one. Him and Kenny go for it. He just wanted it more. Two points.

Two tries of his own kick. Has he had the moustache for a while, has he? I think he has, mate. Maybe you haven't noticed it, but he has had it. It's always been very well manicured. Just a very light one, isn't it? Anyway, good luck to him. 10-0 the score. Kick to come. Brisbane leading Gold Coast. Big Mark. Levy, you know I'm pretty old and I think about a lot of things. A lot of things. They don't worry me, but I'm interested in how the outcome will be.

Let me give you an example here. Chewing gum. You know when you buy chewing gum, you chew it for 10, 15 minutes, get to a stage where it's got no taste anymore, so you put it in the bin or whatever you do. I ask you, Gal and Alana, if you didn't put it in the bin and you kept chewing it, how long would it last? Do you reckon it would last for, like, forever? I mean, I actually think they should make chewing gum where you chew it.

What? Isn't there everlasting chewing gum on Willy Wonka? I'm not sure. I didn't watch that. But this chewing gum, to me, in this day and age, if you keep chewing it, surely it's got to just... Run out. Eventually just evaporate or whatever the word is. But wouldn't our saliva keep it moist and that's why it keeps going? Surely our body would break it down. I don't think... Okay, I don't know if this is a myth or not. Not swallowing it, though. But I got told, because I used to be a serial chewing gum swallower in high school. You shouldn't do that. Yeah.

I used to get told, don't swallow your gum. It'll stay in your body for eight years or something ridiculous, which I don't know if that's true. But doesn't your saliva, like when you put a bit of cake in your mouth, it sort of doesn't dissolve, it breaks down. So wouldn't your saliva eventually break? Well, this is my question. I don't know. How long do you reckon you could chew chewing gum for? And will it eventually just fade away? Just go into nothing?

It's a good question, isn't it? That is a very good question. I've been thinking about it all day. That's a very good question. I know Levy would know this because he's a knowledgeable bloke. If he doesn't know it, he'll Google it. I'm glad you brought it up because I'm very annoyed at how long the tastes of chewing gum last these days. It doesn't last long. They've taken it away. Back in the day, Hubba Bubba was like the most beautiful. Oh, I loved it. You loved it. But it lasted for 10 minutes. But extra back in the day would last for what felt to me like hours.

These days, extras last 10 minutes. Remember the old days you could get the packets of it and you'd get strips of it? They were about two inches long and about three quarters of an inch wide. I preferred that. But now they're little tablet-y things. Yeah, I like the way they do it these days. Because you buy one of those things. I've got one in my car. There's about 50 pieces in there. Maybe more. Yeah, there you go. One of them. I've got one of them in my car. What's the red one?

Strawberry. It lasts even less. It's got a good two minutes in it. Mate, that one is beautiful for a minute or two. The burst of flavour and then I tell you what, you just have an empty coffee cup in your car. I'll tell you what I did the other day.

I actually had a piece. I went into my room, laid down for a minute. Was it Saturday morning? No, it was Thursday. Put the bit of chewy next to the bed. Okay, that's disgusting. Well, hold on. That's what Bracey does at work. How long have you chewed on it? Bracey does it, Joey. Bracey does this at work. It's disgusting. I actually thought of Bracey when I did it because I've never done it before, but I did it. After I'd done what I'd...

Sleep, slept. I got up. This doesn't sound like you slept. I got up. Listen. You've been told not to talk about it. Don't talk about it. I got up and I put the tree in my mouth. Disgusting. It was just disgusting. There was actually a bit of flavor back. No. I'm telling you.

I'm telling you right now, there's a bit of flavour back. So you're saying you left it for a while, let it get hard. Yep. Did it get hard? It got hard, yep. Yeah, and then you started chewing on it again and the flavour came back. There was a bit of flavour back there, I'm telling you. Yeah, this is hard to believe. Oh, that's why Bracey does it. Hang on, hang on. So just for those people playing at home, so what does he do? So he's chewing, chewing up, takes it out. Dead set. We'll be on air in 10 seconds. He'll take his gum out of his mouth. He'll put it right there. He'll hide it on the desk, on the panel. Yep.

Get his three minutes of whatever it is out. Yeah, we'll go to a cross or we'll go to an ad break and he picks it back up and chucks it back in his gob. It goes away. It's revolting. It is revolting. His mobile phone will be on the desk there. He will stick his Chewy right behind the mobile phone so he can't see it. His Chewy will be sitting there and when he can put it back in his mouth, he whacks it back in his mouth.

Mr Channel 9, Mr Olympics. Absolutely revolting. You know what I do like? Besides the fact he's an outstanding broadcaster, does a great job, I think his two front teeth are magnificent. He's got some toothy pecs on him. I don't think he's been to the Dead Sea. They're real. The two front teeth from the top going down, I think they're larger than most people's teeth. Would you agree with that? Yeah, it's a thing. They're huge. Hmm.

Anyway, that's neither here nor there, but I'm just interested in the chewing gum. How long would it last? Good point. I mean, if you kept chewing it, and I know you can't do it, but if you say you kept chewing it,

For 24 hours. Would it eventually just disappear? I don't know. I'm just doing some research here. It says, because decompose means like how long it disappears. Not so much in the mouth. But if it was just to be left somewhere, it can take up to 1,000 years to decompose. Actually, when I'm driving on the road. 1,000 years. And I've had enough chewing. I don't know if it's littering or not, but I'd just throw it out the window.

Oh, that is littering, mate. That is. You can't do that. Probably a poor little animal might go there and start chewing on it like a bunny rabbit or something and choke itself to death. You're a disgrace. You've never done that. You've never thrown it on the grass ring. I just told you I put it in the coffee cup. I don't believe you. You're the reason why I get stuck in your shoes and you end up with a

paddle pops. Oh, you're a disgrace, girl. That's disgusting. Put it in a bin. Here's one from Greg. If you want to send us an email, it's 0460873873. That's true. He said, I agree with Daryl. There's some chewing gum under classroom desks that's been there for 100 years. It's a

It's probably true. So, you're saying that if you throw a bit of chewy out the window and it lands on the road, it can last up to 1,000 years? It says here, it's commonly agreed that chewing gum can take anywhere from five to 1,000 years to decompose. Well, that means I would say to Daryl's question, it probably just keeps chewing it. It just lasts. Because we're not going to chew it for 1,000 years, are we? No. It just tastes like rubber. Oh, here we go. The first four ingredients are soluble, meaning they dissolve in your mouth as you chew. Gum-based doesn't. And although it isn't...

it isn't meant to be swallowed. If it is, it simply passes through your system. But the gum base is what actually makes it doesn't disappear. Gum base. At the moment, we haven't worked it out. How long did you say? A hundred years or something? A thousand years for it to decompose. Mate, that's...

But what if you keep chewing on it? Like, if you keep chewing, it's not going to go for a thousand years. I don't reckon it's going to go long enough for anyone to be able to find out. If it lasts for a thousand years in the elements. Think about this. If you throw a bit of chewy on the road, it will sit there for a thousand years. In the elements, in the sun, in the heat, the wind, whatever. I reckon that would break down quicker than in your body. Like acid and stuff.

So I don't think... It's an interesting thing. Believe it or not, Google usually answers a lot of your questions, but I can't find an answer to your question, Darren. Our listeners are our best research. Well, our listeners are now saying, put the chewing gum in the potholes, Gil. We need a thousand years. An absolute scientist to work this one out. 131873, the number if you have an opinion on this, chewing gum, will it just dissolve in your mouth if you keep chewing it? Jump on the line and have your say. We won't send you some chewy, but we might end up sending you some meat.

$200 worth from the Stapletons' quality meets at Southgate, Sylvania and Carrillo. The number to call 131873. You can email us via the websites and as Daryl mentioned, 0460 873 873. Payne Haas limps his way back into the sheds. It's 12-4 Brisbane leading Gold Coast. 18 minutes left in the first half. 12-4 the score. Brisbane leading the Gold Coast to break back with

Oh, dear, oh, dear. You might want to, if you're eating something, just put it down off the back of this message from Michelle at Wentworth Falls. Hi to all. On the chewing gum issue, my mum was a nurse and assisted in an operation to remove a ball of chewing gum from a boy's bowel the size of a tennis ball. It does not break down in your body. Do not swallow chewing gum. Yeah, I think that's a good message. Yelch.

I wonder how many pieces that was. It must have been swan or something. That's a lot. Yuck. That is gross. Nico says, I'm with you, gal. Out the window. I even aim at the furry little critters. Imagine gum stuck to your fur for a thousand years. Oh, Nico. Nico, that's sly. Nico, you're an animal. Oh, Nico, that's saboteur. Joe's in Brisbane with a theory on how to keep the flavour in your chewing gum. Hello, Joe.

Good, thank you, mate. Thank you. Yeah.

I absolutely agree. Yeah? As I said, I put mine on the side table the other day and I come back. I agree with him. It wasn't a lot of flavour for a long amount of time. Not like a fresh piece of chewy, but 100% the flavour was back for a small amount of time. So you don't think that it's your taste buds? Well, whether it's placebo or not, I still tasted the flavour. Placebo? Isn't that when you have a baby? Placebo? No, that's a placenta. That's a placenta.

Sorry about that. So, Gal, are you all about keeping your chewing gum in the freezer? No, no. But I understand what the call is saying. Like I said, I've done it once. Brace does it all the time. So I had the idea from Brace. I'll put it on the bedside table. I'll put it there. And sure enough, when I picked it back up, it was hard. It wasn't totally hard, but it was harder than I... The chewing gum? Yes. So gross. And...

There was flavor back. So I agree with the caller. I think he's 100% right. Just on chewing gum, I've got two questions. First one is this. Out of chewing gum and bubble gum, what holds its flavor the longest? I'm putting juicy fruit up there. Holds its flavor? No, that's crap. Really? Juicy fruit used to run out straight away back in the day, let alone now. I think it's a bit better these days. I don't know about the other day. Juicy fruit's a one-minute wonder. Back in the day, it was a one-minute wonder.

in a wonder. I did used to like it for that minute. So what holds us fly for the longest? Oh, extra always for me. Extra back in the day when I was a kid was like, I reckon for hours. Probably the blue extra. What about Hubba Bubba Bubba Gum? Nah, Bubba was, nah, nah. That was 10 minutes. But it's worth it for the time you have it. That was beautiful. 10 minutes, that was worth it. I still got Hubba Bubba Bubba Bubba Gum. Bubba.

Which colour? I love the purple one. There was an old bird on the plane next to me a couple of weeks ago that had Hubba Bubba, but you know the ones in the roll? Yeah, the strip things. Well, she had the whole roll during the one-hour flight. The whole roll? Yeah, I was like, I actually kind of want to get some. The flavour is good for 10 minutes, but it runs out straight away. The extra, I reckon, is the best. My other issue is this. Anybody who puts their chewing gum or bubble gum and sticks it to...

A desk? Yeah. It's despicable. It is despicable, Daryl. Agreed. Absolutely disgraceful because I've been... I know when I go to, say, a pub, and I'll probably find this at the establishment that I've opened, people will stick chewing gum under the desk because they don't know what to do with it. They will now. Well, if you do...

I'm going to look at the cameras and hunt you down. And he does have chance, everybody. I was a high school teacher. You're going to be looking under the desks at your restaurant daily. Believe me, he looks at the cameras very often. Let's hope there's no people there at the time.

It's actually been very busy. Just move your leg there, champion. I'm having a look at it. Did you stick chewing gum under the desk? Thank you, champion. Titans in again here. Brisbane 12, Gold Coast 8. Kick to come for the Titans. What did you do as a teacher? So I was a high school teacher and that was one of my favourite punishments to the little punks. I wouldn't care what they got in trouble for.

But like if I was in a mood, I wouldn't put up with anything. Let me tell you. So if you caught him chewing gum or sticking chewing gum under a desk? No, no, no. If I caught him breathing air in the wrong direction and it was one of those periods because it was high school. So you could really only keep kids in if it was before that recess or lunch because obviously they're not going to come back. I wouldn't try anyway. Yeah, but if they got on my – Just because you were in a mood. Yeah, if I was in a mood. Just because you were angry. Well, if they were disrupting what I'm doing. I was a pretty good teacher. I'm like, look, let's head down, bum up half an hour and then we've got 20 minutes up our sleeve.

All for the team, teamwork. But if you're mucking up with the game plan, I'm not into it. My punishment, yeah, get rid of the gum, you little punk. Loved it. Speaking of people who can rap themselves, Fergo, I was a really good teacher. Hey, I was. What made you a good teacher? She was good at it. I was just good at it, mate. What about Shane from Budrum? He's an interesting guy. What's he done? He started calling himself Juicy Fruit as he doesn't last long either. LAUGHTER

Hey, guys, my grandmother would always have gum. She would put it behind her ear when she wanted a break from it from Michael at Tamworth. That's revolting. I've seen that too, actually. Are you serious? I think Joey or Freddie done that recently. That's disgusting. You know what it does do? It's handy because when you put your cigarette there as well, it keeps it there. Remember people used to, in the old days, put a cigarette behind their ear? Yeah.

It was just despicable. It'd stick the cigarette to your... They did, mate. They put cigarettes on their ears. How does your brain work? Just getting ready for the next one. It's true, mate. People used to put cigarettes there, so they put chewing gum there first, just sticks the cigarette there. Brilliant. Andrews... They stuck the...

Cigarette behind their ears. Yeah, but not with Chewy, though. They're stuck in there. Andrew says, Levy will be like Basil Fawlty at his restaurant. Thank you for that. Hi, team. Chewy loses flavour fairly quickly as your taste buds become used to the taste. A few hours or days, weeks later, it appears to regain flavour because your taste buds taste something new. That one from Bob. Oh, that makes sense. At the moment, we haven't got any answers to my question, which is what...

Does it eventually dissolve while chewing it? I don't think there's an answer. I don't think anybody knows. Well, no one's been alive for over a thousand years. And I don't think anyone's got the patience to chew chewing gum for as long as it runs out. You know what we should do? We could get volunteers.

You reckon you're going to get someone to volunteer to chew chewing gum until it runs out? You know who we should get? Who? Because the only bloke who's going to be awake this time tomorrow is Levy. Levy's doing all night. Yeah, but I've got to talk now. I've got to call the Olympics. We need someone to volunteer to chew gum

For 24 hours and not sleep tonight. Are you going to pay them, Darrell? No. Well, just do it voluntarily. Yes. Mate, we've got a lot of fans out there who would just do anything for us. You know what? I reckon there's a world record for chewing gum. Let me have a look. World record. Yeah, that could be a good one. Chewing gum.

Chewing gum, longest time. Here we go. So obviously this chewing gum, whatever this record is, has not run out in that amount of time. It'll be days. For chewing gum, it's an interesting one. Look at this. I would be surprised if there's nothing there, Lee. People's champion. Hang on. Richard Walker holds the world record for the chomp title by chewing 135 pieces of bubble gum for eight hours. Yeah, but that's just a lot. But we want the longest. Yeah, longest amount of time, yeah. Dick Walker, I mean, he's off his head. LAUGHTER

All right, well, if you want to volunteer for this, we'll give you some sort of prize. Are we allowed to do this? Surely we can give them some meat, $200 worth of meat. I've got to be honest with you, if anyone's stupid enough to ring through and say they were happy to keep chewing gum for that long, they deserve all the prizes we've got. How long would you ask for a big one, 24 hours? 24 hours I want. Someone has to not sleep tonight and chew gum until, well, let's start them off, say, at

Six tonight. Yeah. Because they can ring in tomorrow, right? Yes. And ring in when we're on air till seven tomorrow. Ring in at six tomorrow and we can cease the chewing. So ring in now. Go to sleep. Go and get two hours sleep. Get up. Put some chewing in your mouth. You've got to be awake all night. So you don't want them to have dinner. Well, they can have dinner, but they can't get rid of the chewy.

Mate, it's a sacrifice. A lot of things are sacrificed to the island. This is a great show. And if you want to sacrifice something for humanity and the show and...

And to help people who are worried about this, give us a call, 131873. For humanity. We want humanity to know, Levy, if it's possible. All right. Well, if you're desperate for a signed footy jersey and you're willing to chew some chewing gum until tomorrow, 131873, the number 1210 to score. Brisbane leading Gold Coast, 8 minutes 41 left in the first half.

A Paris 2024 Olympic Games update. Thanks to Harvey Norman, proud to be Australia's official retail partner. Powered by LG, partner of Nine's Olympic broadcast. G'day, g'day. Mike Pearsall with your Olympic update. Our Dolphins have picked up another two gold medals in the swimming pool through Kayleigh McEwan and Cam McAvoy. But the story of the day has to go to BMX racer Saya Sakakibara.

It's so amazing. I just can't.

This means so much. On the athletics track, Bree Masters has become the first Aussie woman to make the 100m sprint semi-finals since Sydney 2000. Jess Fox and sister Noemi have made a positive start to the women's kayak cross event. They've seeded second and eighth respectively for the first round. And in tennis, Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz will play off for the gold medal in the men's singles.

A quick look at the medal tally. China still leads with 13 gold medals. France and Australia back on 11, ahead of the US and Great Britain on 9. I'm Mike Pearsall. That's the very latest from the Paris Olympics. That medal tally update was thanks to Toyota, Australian Olympic and Paralympic team partner. Oh, what a feeling.

Brisbane 16, Gold Coast 10 as we take you around the ground. 16 points to 10, Brisbane leading Gold Coast. Five minutes left in the first half. We do that for Uber Reserve. Speaking of Uber Reserve, whether you're heading to the footy this weekend or you've got something else planned when you need to get there on time, make sure you reserve your ride with Uber Reserve. Now, sadly, Darrell, we haven't found anybody willing to take up your experiment. Why don't we nominate Phil for us? Why don't you do it?

Because I've got to sleep today. I'm very tired. I've got to work tomorrow. I'm exhausted listening to the Olympics.

Who do you listen to? Oh, shut up, would you? Injury report for DP. Payne Haas has suffered a Liz Frank injury in his foot, facing a long stint out of the game. So that's not good news for the Brisbane Broncos. Now, we've been looking up Guinness Book of Records for chewing gum and bubble gum. A couple of the other ones we didn't mention. Longest gum wrapper chain. The world record for the longest gum wrapper chain is held by Gary Duschel.

From Virginia Beach, Gary began making his gum wrapper chain on the 11th of March 1965. The recording was performed on March 11, 2016, having spent 51 years making the chain. Gary's gum wrapper chain measured 27,259 metres. This equates to 1,463 metres or 4.8 feet each day during his time. Gary held his record since 1995. I don't think they'll ever be beat.

So let me get that. This is chewing gum. It's a gum wrapper chain. A wrapper. A wrapper. Oh, look, I'm just going to say this. I think Gary needs to get a life. Yeah. Let's see if Gary wants to do this. Get another record. What's his last name? Douche? Douchebag. Douchebag. Douchebag. Most people simultaneously blowing bubbles. Hmm.

Bernie Williams, New York Yankees legend, partnered with Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals on July 11, 2018 to set out on a world record attempt, most people blowing chewing gum bubbles simultaneously. The attempt was held at the minor league baseball Eastern Conference held at Arm and Hammer Park in New Jersey. 881 participants were recorded chewing gum for at least one minute, followed by blowing a bubble with the chewing gum that would remain inflated for at least 30 seconds.

Their goal was met, and they set it at world record. So there you are. The largest bubble blown, 27.94 centimetres, or 11 inches in diameter. And I think there was one more here on the other page. No, that was it. You know why I brought this up? Because I actually went to the shops yesterday, and I bought one of those jars of chewing gum like you've got the extra ones there, Lana. But it was like a no-frills one. I'd never heard of it before. And I got it today, and I had the first two pieces of it.

The disappointment was palatable. Is that a word? Palpable. Palpable. It was palpable. In what way? The flavour? What shop did you get it from? I tried to blow a bubble with it, and it was unblowable. What was the brand? When you say no-name brand? It was like a No Frills. It wasn't like... Were you at Woolies? Where did you say you was? Yeah, it wasn't Woolies. I forget the brand. I've got it in my car. I'll go and get it later. I'm going to go Woolies brand. But my disappointment was... What did I say it again? Palpable. Palpable, yeah. So you couldn't blow a bubble? Couldn't blow a bubble. It was unblowable.

It was unblowable. I tried to blow a bubble, and normally I can blow a bubble. Well, you know what? You probably didn't have enough in, to be fair. Two. Two? Yeah. Wow, that is... Tasted good. Was it the same container? Same container, but it was like a funny brand, overseas brand. Give us a look at that. Can I have a look at this? They just all say extra. No, they weren't extras. It was...

A funny brand. I've got it in the car. I've never heard of it, but it was a bit cheaper than the other, so I thought I'd have a crack at it. That's it. LA Gum. Ah. LA Gum. $4 at Woolies. Don't buy it, Dave. Great value. In two pieces. Well, I'm not saying don't buy it. Spend the extra dollar and get extra. No, I'm just saying. I couldn't buy a bubble with LA Gum. You know what is good? Mentos. Mentos.

Fresh maker. That's not gum though, is it? Yeah. Is it? Oh, the Mentos gum. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's very fluffy, isn't it? It is very fluffy. Is that the longest lasting gum? I think it might be. Mentos are long lasting. Yeah, look at these in trouble. The Ezra Mann, he's coming off of an ankle injury. I think Kinney, was it Kinney sent for 10? He did fall down. It wasn't a hip job tackle, but he did fall down on the back of his ankle, which...

I definitely rolled ma'am's ankle, so he's off. Hey, guys who watch planes land in their spare time shouldn't be throwing stones at Gary and his chewing gum. Wrap a chain record from Scotty. Yeah, look, I probably should apologise to Gary. Thank you very much for that. Well, picked up, Scotty. Are you still on that track? No, I watched it once, Daryl. Oh, OK. Everyone's just latched onto it as if I've sat there for hours and hours and hours and I do it every day. You seem to really enjoy it.

Daryl, I sat there for 10, 15 minutes and just watched it because there was nothing else doing and it came up on my feed and that was it. Was it really only once? What's it called? Sid Squad? Was it really only once? Only once. Only once. Look, if you're...

Anyone out there still available, this offer still applies. You know what? I'm going to make it more attractive. Not only do you get a signed jersey, it'll be delivered to you by the big man who will then take you out for a bite to eat. Okay? There it is. Lunch with Darryl Broman. If you'd like to chew some chewing gum, you watch the board light up, Darryl. A signed footy jersey and lunch with Big D just for chewing gum. He must not live in Sydney. He must be out of Sydney, so he's got to drive. Yeah.

At pronto. You can have whatever you want. No, no, no. It's going to be out of sitting. You start making up crap. You watch the board light up now, right? And if you desperately want some more company, we'll send Paul Gallant along as well. No, no, no. That's not part of the deal. Well, you've already proved that you do favours. Okay, let's go pronto. All right.

If you want to chew the chewing gum, Darrell and Paul will take you out for lunch, but you've got to do them a favour with this gum. 131873, the number. The offer stands, and it stands right now.

How you going? Good, mate. What have you got for us? Mate, I'm keen to take on that challenge for the chewing gum. It's 24 hours, is it? Yep. You've got to chew for 24 hours. Mate, I can chew for 24 hours. I'm sitting around waiting to get paid by the tab 21. Good on you, Gary. Thanks for the call. Oh, mate, he's got in again, that bloke. See, I'd like to take him to lunch. He's relentless, that bloke. Has he left his number, this bloke?

Get his number, please. If he's left his number, I'd love to just ring him and see what his issue is with the tab. Because you know what? I might even ring the tab and see if someone from the tab can ring him. So he stops ringing us. I reckon it's just his thing now. I just reckon he just wants to do it. Really? Well, he keeps getting through. I just don't understand what the point is. Anyway, Steve's in Ballarat. Hey, Steve. There you go. Good, mate.

I'll do the jury game challenge if Gail and the big man are trying to come out to lunch in Ballarat. Well, see, I was happy for the big man again. No, you know what? I think they should, Steve. I think they should. I think the boys should go down to Ballarat. What do you think, Fergo? Do you reckon they should go down and see Steve down there? Bloody hell.

Both team players, boys. Absolutely. You know, you boys have come up with this great idea of getting someone to chew chewing gum for 24 hours. So, Steve, I think that's a great idea. Get the boys to come down to Ballarat and where they'd no doubt be walking with open arms. And it doesn't worry me. I'm driving all night tonight. It's not awake. Well, mate, you do it. See how you go. What time are you going to start? I'll start at 7 o'clock tonight. I'll be driving to Perth.

Wow, that's a long trip. Jeez, that is a long trip. Mate, we're probably doing you a favour. So you can come and pay for us. How long can you actually drive straight for? Like how many hours are you allowed to drive? In a truck it's 12 hours, but I'm in a car, so I can drive straight through. 32 hours. And you drive 32 hours straight. What? Yeah. Well, mate, can you record it on your phone when you put the first bit of gum in? Do two bits of gum just to keep it going.

Gosh, you're an ice block. I'd like you to, every two hours, have a look at the time and then pull over, obviously, and just record something. Stop, revive, survive, yes. And then say something to us, all right? What, like a video diary? Yes.

We need proof. You're getting a chuckle out of this. Thank you, Steve. Need proof. You know what, Steve? Just for being a good bloke, stay there and we'll send you a signed jersey, mate.

So just recapping the news from the Gold Coast. Payne Haas off the field. He suffered a Liz Frank injury. That's the report in his foot.

So he's facing a fairly lengthy stint on the sidelines, you would think. And Ezra Mams off the field with what looks to be an ankle injury. So, Gal, the news goes from bad to worse for the Brisbane Broncos who are under pressure as we sit here already. Yeah, if Payne Arts has done it, Liz, Frank, that's season. As far as I know, if you do it properly, it's surgery and you'll be gone for the year and...

Ezra Mamm didn't have his boots on then, so maybe a bit of hope there for the Broncos fans. He might be back in the second half, but I'll wait and see. Poor old Kev, he won't be pulling his eyebrows out because he's got no to pull his hair out. Has he got much hair left? Well, poor bugger. So he just can't take a trick at the moment, the coach, Kevin Walters. So halftime on the Gold Coast. It is the Brisbane Broncos up 18 points to 10 over the Titans.

And then later on tonight, the Melbourne Storm taking on the St. George and Lewara Dragons. You'll hear that one with Chris, Daryl and Paul. And then later on tonight at 7.35, we've got the Sharks taking on the Rabbitohs. That game down there at Pointsbet Stadium. How are you feeling about your Sharkies, Gal? Yeah, they had a close game last week versus...

the Cowboys. The Cowboys have been a little flying under the radar this year. Two years ago, they had a great year. Last year, they weren't good at all. This year, I don't think anyone really expected too much of them. They have got a fair team, but they're flying under the radar. They've now won 12 games this year. Still got a bite up their sleeve. So they're going okay. I think the Sharks took it to them last week. So I think they'll get the win tonight against the South Sydney side. Well, what's the go? Just quick, I've got to get the news here, but Nico Hines, will he be back, what, first week of the finals if he's right? At best, yeah. Matt,

Possibly last week, but definitely first week of the finals, I think, yeah. All right, fantastic. So that game later on tonight down there at Pointsbet Stadium between the Sharks and the Rabbitohs. And the earlier game, of course, you'll hear with us, the Storm and the St. George Illawarra Dragons. Halftime on the Gold Coast. Brisbane leading Gold Coast 18 points to 10. We've got a break for some news. We'll come back with the next hour of the Continuous Call team.

Yeah, welcome back. Continuous call team on this Saturday afternoon. Great to have you with us. 131873 is the number. You can email us as well. 2GB.com. Click onto the feedback icon.

Of course, two games coming up later on tonight, but there is this one continuing. Second half underway, 18 points to 10. Brisbane leading the Gold Coast, 18-10 the score as we take you around the grounds. The games played last night, it was a Roosters victory over the Dolphins, 40-34. Parramatta beat the Warriors 30-20. And on Thursday night, North Queensland too good for West Tigers, 48 points to 30.

This afternoon, Chris Warren on deck for the Dragons and the Storm, that one from Melbourne. And then at Pointsbet Stadium, it's the Sharks and the Rabbitohs. And then the two games tomorrow, Panthers, Knights and the Bulldogs and the Raiders. So that's what's to come in the NRL. And we'll get you an update as well on NRLW. We'll do that for all.com. And the games played so far, Knights beat Raiders 26-10 and the Titans.

Too good for the West Tigers, 28 points to 12. Three games tomorrow in NRLW4ALL.com. Eels, Sharks at Allianz Stadium. Roosters, Broncos at Allianz Stadium. And the Cowboys and the Dragons, that one at Queensland Country Bank Stadium. So when you have a look at the ladder for the NRLW competition, admittedly they're only playing their second games. It's the Titans and the Knights.

who have started their campaign unbeaten. But obviously the Sharks, Raiders and Eels still have a game to come, Fergo. So at the moment we're seeing the NRLW back in action and the quality of footy has been really, really good. Yeah, it has been really good. Really impressed by the earliest game today, the Raiders and the Knights. That was quality. The Knights just getting the job done at the end. But there's some...

really strong contenders, some really strong contenders. Knights are still up there. I always thought that the Raiders were going to be a smoky and they sort of proved that in this game. I think the Sharks have bolstered up their squad a fair bit and,

Yeah, it'll be interesting to see how the Broncos and the Roosters go tomorrow. It's going to be interesting games to come. So 18-10, Brisbane leading the Gold Coast as we take you around the grounds. Now, Daryl, obviously on this program, you've made famous calling Harold Holt winning swimming, weightlifting with the... Slobodomodanovic. Slobodomodanovic, exactly. You did a bit of archery as well. Well, there's a lot of feedback coming through off the back of... I had to crack at some gymnastics the other night.

with Simone Biles in action. There was an Australian on the floor. Legit gymnastics? Legit gymnastics. How's it going? Simone Biles is a huge name for United States gymnasts. Oh, that's the American now. I watched her the other night. And then, of course, we had Ruby pass the Australian, so there's nothing else on. We have to cover it. Now, I've never covered gymnastics in my life.

Did you know the moves, the calls? I had no idea. So what did you say? What do you do then? Well, do you want me to play it for you? Have you got a copy of this? Yeah, play it. Is it true Simone Biles, she actually makes moves up and names them? Yes, yeah. So there's a move called the Biles, which was, you know, no one's ever attempted. Is that like a paddle pop kick? Pretty much.

So I'm going to play you two little snippets here and you can be the judge, okay? Because I know I'll get some honest feedback from my colleagues on the Continuous Call team. Here is Simone Biles. And here she is now, Simone Biles. Simone Biles.

Salutes the judges and the crowd and says, here we go. Nails one of her flips on the beam. So she lies down on the beam. A little bit how I feel after a long night covering the Olympic Games. Now she's lying on the front of the beam as if she's pedalling a bike. Gets onto her haunches. Oh, she looked a little bit uneasy there, Simone Biles.

Not the usual finesse we expect from the gymnast from the United States. There's a forward flip on the beam. Does a little star jump. Now the legs go out to the side.

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

That's a rim-up. You deserve a pay rise. Ride the bike. This is so good. What was ride the bike? She sat on the beam and rode the bike. So they sit down and then they move their leg as if they're riding the bike on the side of the beam. For the first half of the court, it sounded like all she did was one flip and a star jump. I highly doubt it. That's the first time I've listened back to that. Did you have someone with you, like an expert? No, no, I just did it myself. I just did it myself. What would you have rode? What did she get in the...

She did okay. Well, look, she ended up going on to win the gold medal. So she did extremely well. She's a legend, isn't she? She is. Proper legend. So that was Simone Biles on the beam. And I don't know how we're supposed to describe what happens on a beam. And then there was the Australian on the floor. They've got the music in the background and she's dancing around on the mat. It's the flips and the big run-up. Here we go. Diagonally across the mat. Flips, twists and lands it. Not too bad from the Australian. Ruby pass.

17 years of age, grew up in Shell Harbour. Gee, she's picked some dramatic music here. Sounds like the soundtrack for a horror movie here. We were impersonating Hannibal Lecter earlier. Oh, there's a nice little flip up into the air, a twist as well, and lands it nicely, no stumble at all. Now it's getting dramatic. I feel like I'm watching Pirates of the Caribbean with a backdrop. Here we go, cross the mountain. It's a diagonal twist, front flip, and lands it beautifully.

Here's the flip. Three of them are beautiful. That's great stuff from the Australian. She's looking the goods and she finishes her floor routine, but she doesn't look too happy.

There you are. Well done. I actually reckon that was really good. That was really good. For someone who doesn't know how to do it. Yeah, and also for the three of us that have no idea either. I actually thought that was good. The first one was funny because the ride the bike was just good for me. The second one was good. Daryl, I feel the need to ask you for some constructive criticism and maybe what you would have said in the gymnastics school. It's a bit different because you're fair dinkum on that. Mine was just make-up.

Like it was just funsies. I attempted to be fair dinkum, but I had no idea what they were doing. Well, I mean, when you don't know what you're doing, it's probably easier to be funny, you know, to a certain degree, because I don't really, I've got a picture in my mind. I didn't see either of these, so I've got a picture in my mind about how good you were going there. How did Lucy, what was her name?

Ruby Pascoe. Ruby Pascoe. No, she finished out of the place. Would you have given her a higher score than probably the judges did? Well, this is the problem. It's like when you cover diving. The way you called it sounded like she was doing better than Simone Biles. Well, she did triple backflips or something, didn't she? Straight in coverage. My husband sent me a message. He goes, the gymnastics call, Levy. Wow. Just wow.

Was she on the bar as well? Was Lucy Park on the bar? So what they do in the all-around gymnastics, and if anybody's a gymnast out there that can listen to me, can offer some constructive criticism, I'm all ears. I don't think there's any more gymnastics for me to cover, but...

Because when you're doing these things, you're looking. I'm Googling what the different moves are. They're called kips and all these sorts of things. I'm thinking to myself, if I start saying, oh, there's a nice kip from Simone Bost, they're not going to know what I'm talking about. That's even better, mate. That's even better. The punters don't need to know. You've got to make it up just on the run. There's a flip. There's a spin. There's a twist. She lands it. There's a kip keynote. Is there an event you're looking forward to calling? Breakdancing. Oh, sorry, breaking.

Breaking wind? It's called breaking, apparently. So Carl Langdon, who's over here from 6PR in Perth, he's a part of the coverage as well, as we see a great little try here to the Titans to lock it up at 18, all with a kick to come with the Brisbane Broncos. He's actually a former B-boy himself. He shared the story. So when you're a breaker, Darryl, you're a B-boy. B-boy? B-boy. A B-boy. You ever done some breaking in your day, Big Martin?

I've broken a few things. I'm still doing it. Here's one for you, Geltman. You know what I think you should... This is just... And this is my criticism, if there is. There's no criticism of it. I think you should have learnt some of the technical terms...

and thrown them in and pretended you're an expert because, you know what? People would have been listening at 3 o'clock in the morning, wouldn't have given a rat, but they wouldn't have known. But I think if I tried to attempt to sound like an expert, I would have obviously given myself up. No, don't worry about that. Just say it with...

What David Morrow used to do, just say it with confidence. Pretend you know what you're talking about. I did the eventing, the show jumping, the other night as well, and I took my lead. There's a famous call that Ray's played to us before featuring a horse by the name of Kaibar Tick Tock, and George Grilicich calling that. So I took my lead from him. Up and over they go, and I renamed the course because they jump over a chicken, a barrel, and all that sort of thing. So I just did the same at gymnastics. Have a bit of fun with it. I think you were great.

Oh, I should hit the second one. Good on you. You gave it a crack. Thank you. Are you winning chance doing the 100 at all? Or is that too mainstream? No, no, no. Ray and Matt Hill do the athletics. A big time. You get to do, like, some of the cast-off stuff. Well, I did some BMX this morning with Sai Sakakibara before Bill did the gold medal run. Mate, I love the way you say Sai Sakakibara. That's a hard word to say. It's Sai Sakakibara. Or Sai Sakakibara. Hold on. Which one? What is it? Sai Sakakibara. I will say Sakakibara if you want me to say Sakakibara.

She was brilliant. She was great. She's outstanding. How good is she? And throw a little F-bomb up here and there. I was going to say, yeah, but good on her. Yeah. What a gold medal. Wear a lozies. The other thing I'm loving is during these Olympics, and I made this point to Jane Fleming and Matt Hill this morning, is that

Once the competitors compete, and this is something that's sort of been kept from the last Olympics in Tokyo where they had no crowds in the stand, they've got a little monitor. I don't know if you've seen it. So after a particular race or an event, the athlete will go over to the monitor and there is set up like a FaceTime with their family and friends back at home in their respective countries. So they get to go and see their families virtually after an event to get that raw emotion from them, which I think is really, really special.

That is cool. It's cool. Mate, I love the way that they go and see their family at the end of the races and stuff. The swimming's probably the perfect one. I haven't seen everything else, but the swimming's easy because they just get out of the pool. And most of their family and friends are right on poolside, aren't they? Even though the officials try and do their best to keep them out. They've got a specific time that they've probably got to run to, I suppose. But, mate, it's beautiful. It's great. And when they go back, I see Carl in the morning. He loves it.

when they're at an Irish bar or something getting on the drink. Big Carlos. He just loves it, Carlos. He's giving it a good nudge, isn't he, over there? He'd be having the time of his life over there, Carlos. Actually, you know what? Spiro Christopoulos is over there. Is he really? I did see that. Of course he is. Well, Spiro can get into places where not many other people can. So I sent him a task last night to get a photo. He went to the basketball to watch Australia and Greece. Yeah.

And Antetokounmpo, or whatever his name is, the Greek freak, was playing for Greece. And I said, 20 bucks if you can get a photo with the Greek freak. He said, right, I'll accept it. I haven't heard from him, so I don't think he got it. The Greek freak. And Spiro. Well, Spiro's a Greek freak as well, isn't he? Well, he's a Greek Australian, yes. I don't think he's a freak. He likes saying this. Boom.

Oh, no, that's the other bloke. What's he had he does for whoever he does it for? Who does he do it for? Dee Dee's, isn't it? Oh, yeah. Yum us. And he comes in and goes...

I love the booms. It's a boom. It's a boom. Have a listen to the ad. What are you talking about? I have no idea what you're talking about. Play the ad. There's a boom in the ad. You're making it up as you go. Play the ad. Play the ad. This is a yum-ass. There's a boom in it as well. By the way, what does yum-ass mean in Greek? Yum-ass means I'm starving to death. Ha ha.

It's yummy. It means yummy. Really? Yummus yum. I'm having a guess. I could be right, though. If we have any Greek Australians listening to us, what does yummus mean, please? Yes, yummus, yummy. 131873tgb.com. Hi, boys. Josh here. Ben Fordham was giving it to you, Mark, about your gymnastics school. Apparently, there's a handbook with moves, Ben said. Well, I haven't seen the handbook with moves.

Levy's call of the gymnastics very entertaining and worth gold. Thank you, Ray. Good job. Master of the English language, genuine poet. I don't know about that. No, you are. You're just a poet who didn't know it. Boom. We all thought you were good. Hi, Levy. Where was the over she goes, over she goes comment during the gymnastics call? And somebody else said, oh, have you been listening to Roy and HG for some pointers? Well, given it was the female gymnastics, there was no bad as the salve and all that sort of thing. Hello, boys.

which is what they used in the Sydney 2000 Olympics. Should we give a final point? I love batted sabs. Should we give you a point score? What are you giving him out of 10 for? All right, well, let me, because there's a few people here saying, just do it one more time. So I'll just play the first one again. So here she is now, Simone Biles. Simone Biles.

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

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

What am I doing? Yamous. Yamous. I'm giving up. That's got a bit of comedy in that one, too. I reckon that's... Cramping a big tire is a good line. Yeah, and... Cramping a big tire. I still can't get over the bike. The bike's the best line. I'm giving an eight. Eight out of ten. Eight out of what? Because that's harsh. Oh, thank you. You're welcome. I'm getting an eight and a half from me. I thought it was really good. Eight and a half. Thank you. She's right up there with the great... Thank you, Darren. She's only... She's only said seven and a half. I know. She's off her head.

The next one, I'll give you 8.5 for the next one. That was pretty good, I thought. You know what? I'll take those scores. Thank you very much. But look, nothing will ever top this from the big man. Okay, ladies and gentlemen, take your marks. Take them. No. You do the gun, right? You don't have to take them. You do the gun. Set.

Oh, off in racing and Thorpe has begun brilliantly. He's gone underneath with the pedal pop kick he's developed lately and he's come up in front of Zeller. Phelps is there with him. Look at Van den Hoogenband swimming strongly in lane one. Gary Hall Jr. trying to stay at his shoulder. Dodd Fraser's flying out wide. Conrad's and Murray Rose's tared off because he's a 1,500 metres from him. How's he going to win the 100? But

Thorpe, Thorpe still in front as they get up to the 50 metre mark. Nicole, how's that for a 50? That's a 12.6 split. OK, Thorpe still in front as they turn. Thorpe made a brilliant turn. Van der Hoogenband is challenging now. Here comes Emile Zeller and Murray Rose has come from nowhere. Thorpe in front, Van der Hoogenband, Phelps. And who's this? Who's this steaming down the outside? It's Harold Holt.

He's come from nowhere. Harold Holt at 100. What an unbelievable swim. Where's he been for the last 41 years? Harold Holt. Oh, Holt. One of the greatest comebacks of all time. Has nosed out Ian Thorpe in unbelievable circumstances.

Harold Holt. Brilliant stuff from you, Darrell. Yeah, I thought it was right up there with one of the great calls. I'll give you nine. That was elite. Can I tell you what I was a little bit concerned about? What were you concerned about? I reckon you were very close to having a heart attack there. Well, it was 10 years ago. I'm a bigger chance now than I was then. Come on, let's not joke about that. Yeah, stop it. We want Darrell around for a lot longer. Thank you very much. I was a bit concerned about him there. Now, we've pulled the audio off here of Spiro and Boom in this ad, Big Man. Is this what you were talking about?

Boom.

Boom. Oh, boom. That is a good boom. He doesn't say it. It's the owner of Didi's. He says it. Con says it. Con says it. But he says it on another ad as well. So I listen intently to Spiro's stuff. I want to hear that again. That's a good boom. That's another boom. Yasu, Spiro Christopoulos here from the 2GB Breakfast Show to tell you about the newest edition to Didi's group of wonderful venues, Alpha, Sydney's premier Greek destination. Boom. Boom. What about the kid? Where's the one, the kid, where he goes, beep?

Oh, the kids, the swimming pool. He's good that way. That is one. That was around the same time, I reckon. Well, obviously, the Olympics were on it. That kid has now turned into Matt Hill. Well, that was actually... Oh, a little salty. Well, I've described it as a little salty, but it's not actually Peter Basaldis, which is telling people. It could be salty. It might be. Anyway, here he is. Little Jones in lab one. They're about to take off. Beep. Beep.

Lisa Jones is already at the 15-metre mark. She's winning. Oh, they're nearly there. She touches the wall. She's won. She's had a new work on. I want you to do that starting beep again.

How good was that? It is good, isn't it? It's a beauty. That kid was brilliant, wasn't he? Does that say what year that was? No. Well, it was on the weekend attention CD, so...

Oh, geez, 12 years ago? It'd have to be like, obviously it was done around Olympic time, so this time of year, I suppose, 12, might even be 16 years ago, I'm not sure. It'd be at least 12. That kid could be married now. Could be. Scary, isn't it? You know what we haven't done today, Mark? What? We haven't done the counselling session. No, we were going to do it once a month. Once a month. Once a month. Don't overdo it, Gary. There's a lot of problems out there, Gary. Yeah, I know. But we can't...

We can't offer our services all the time. Well, I think we can sign with you. No, not free of charge either. You know what? I think poor old Annie needs some counselling from the continuous calls in on you. No, she has been into me today. She loves you. I've heard that. She loves you so much. She'd have to.

What does she see in you? Is it the cash? It's definitely not his personality. Imagine if she got into a fight with him. What chance would she have? I mean, with him. He'd say, you know I'm right, Annie. You know I'm right. He's fine with what he says every time. You know I'm right. You know when the celebrant stood there at the altar and said to you, Annie, do you take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband? Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I wonder at any point she'd think to herself, mm.

I'm not sure. No way. Listen, Annie gets everything she wants. Annie, can you just send me a text and answer that question for me, please, now that I know you're listening? Don't you text Annie enough, leave me? No, no, no. Annie sends me information about Paul. I do not instigate. Send it on his second number, Annie. She did say something to me this morning about that. About what? She was going to send Levy something. I don't know what she's going to send him, but...

Come on, Annie. I've got a couple of good ones. I'll have to just scroll through them and find out what else I can bring up about the wonderful G-string here, Paul Gallen. 26-18, Gold Coast leading Brisbane, and there's 22 minutes left in the second half. 26-18, Gold Coast leading Brisbane. We do that for Uber Reserve. A break, back with more.

131873, that number. We asked what Yamas means. Maria is a very proud Greek-Australian and she's on the line. Hello, Maria. No, I'm an... Hi, Mark, but I'm an Australian-Greek. There is a difference. Okay. What is the difference? Yeah, because the difference is, an Australian-Greek, you're born in Australia of Greek heritage. If you're a Greek-Australian, you're born in Greece, but are living here and may be naturalised. Gotcha. So if I was to say to you...

I am a... Hang on, let me get this right. I am a...

That means I'm an Australian-born Catherian, which is one of the islands in Greece. Right, okay. So doesn't that just roll off the tongue? That's pretty sexy. I got excited just then. Maria, I was actually thinking that was one of the names I rattled off covering the Olympics just then, but that's a story for another day. Probably. Now, what does Yamas mean? Okay, Yamas is an abbreviation of Stin-e-Yamas, which means to our health.

So it's a way we say cheers. Okay, so cheers. So that's a nice way to finish that commercial from Spiro. Yum us, meaning cheers if you're going along to that establishment. Beautiful. Love it. Well done. Well, to you, Maria, we say yum us. Maria, can I ask you a question? It's a personal question. You've been over to Greece very often? Do you go much? I've been over about six or seven times. Right, don't tell me it's beautiful. I've never been there.

Oh, it's gorgeous. And I love going to Santorini and you stay on the side of what they call the caldera, the mountainside there, and you can watch the sunsets without having to battle all of the tourists. What about knocking the top off an ouzo? Do you have an ouzo over there, Maria? I love an ouzo. You have an ouzo and you watch the sunset and you have your little delicacies there. You sit there and you sit and watch it and you just watch the world go by. Thank you, Maria. Stunning.

Maria, stay there. I want to send you a continuous call team show bag for answering that question for us. We do that for complete blinds. So we'll send you a continuous call team show bag. You get the hats, the stickers, the stubby holders. It's all in there. Troy and Marty have been in business for 20 years and they do a great job. So stay there, Maria. We'll get all of your details and yum us.

to you. 131873 is the number. Well, a great celebration this weekend, isn't it, team? Mark Levy, Alana Ferguson, Daryl Broman and Paul Gallen, the Harvey Norman Women in League Round. And the rise and rise of the NRLW is just sensational to watch. We've got an expanded competition now. And look, a lot of people are jumping on board and saying, how good is this to be involved in? But one of the real trailblazers and supporters of the Women in League Round is

And the founder of the Women in League Round is, of course, Katie Page, our great friend, the CEO of Harvey Norman, who's in Birmingham at the moment, and she's on the line. G'day, Katie. Hey, Tim. How are you? Very well, thank you. In Birmingham at the moment, and I believe you've been to the Olympics as well.

I have seven days in the Olympics. It's the best thing I've done in my life. But now I'm sitting in Birmingham and I'm opening a Harvey Norman office for the UK here. And I just realised I chose Birmingham because Wigan and Warrington are only an hour or so away. LAUGHTER

Right, but I've got to tell you, if you hear Aston Villa's your team, they're into cricket, I've got Manchester the other way, it's really the centre of the UK and it feels a bit like...

The demographics of Sydney are very similar to Birmingham. So there's a number of reasons I'm here, but we're already in Ireland and Northern Ireland. So now it's time to do the UK. 75 million people. Let's hope we...

We do well. Awesome. Oh, you'll do well just like you've done here in Australia, Katie. Everything you and Gerry touch seems to turn to gold. What was that experience like, though, in the Olympics too, Katie? I've been lucky enough to be covering it here on the radio with Ray and Libby Trickett and all our other wonderful commentators. It's just inspiring watching these Aussie athletes go for gold, isn't it?

When I saw the original renders for Paris, I said to Gerry, I'm going. I'm not going to go corporately. I'm going to go with some mates that love sport. So we've spent seven days just in this. Paris is amazing. What they've done is amazing. At no time did I not feel safe.

The police, the metro, everywhere. It was actually for community and it's actually been about all of their icons. So you've seen the vision back there, whether it's the beach volleyball under the Eiffel Tower, you've seen the Arc de Triomphe, all the stuff on the Seine.

I've been to a lot of swimming, naturally, because of Ariane, Molly, and, you know, last night watching Cam McAvoy with the 50 metres. But, you know, the other thing, suddenly you become exposed to the best athletes in the world. Like that Leon Marchand here is like the biggest thing ever.

And so you're starting to realize just how great and how important will

World Games, Commonwealth Games, Olympic Games to all of these athletes. Absolutely. And the way in which the Aussies are doing it at the moment, I think they're second on the medal tally the last time we checked. Phenomenal performances in Paris at the moment. Back here at home, Katie, the Harvey Norman Women in League Round. This is something you kicked off with the NRL a number of years ago and, geez, it's just grown and grown and it's a great celebration of all the women in our great game of rugby league. Do you know,

You know, we started that round 18 years ago. Can you believe that? And to watch how the women's game, we've got 10 teams this year go to 12 next year. But you've got to congratulate Andrew Abdo and his team.

on how they've worked on this, worked on this to make sure that it's got the prominence, that it's got the broadcast. Every part of it, you can see the work that NRL have put into this and the clubs have put into this.

to get it to this point. Like, I can start something, I'm a sponsor, but really it's the team at the NRL that have to grab something, go for it, and boy, have they done a great job. You know what, Katie, I'll never forget when you came into our Gillaroos camp. I mean, it was years ago now. Hi, Alana. Hello, mate. How are you? But, you know, in this world, you...

you come across people, you meet people that are so genuine and have an immediate impact on you. And when you came into our camp and for everyone at home that knows that Katie Page is behind Women in League Round, I don't think people will understand the enormity of what you've actually done within particularly Women's Rugby League and obviously the space that I've been connected. But just how genuine you were when you were with us, when you were spending time with us, asking questions about

where we were at, where we wanted to be, how you could help. But I know you gave so much credit to the NRL and of course it's about sharing that credit and they had to make it happen as well. But,

We, the game would not be in the position that it was, that it is at the moment with you just being able to set that visibility, but investing because we've always had the women here that wanted to play, but it takes people and powerful people. And you're one of those to truly believe and invest in the game. And you are such a huge part of showing the NRL and showing everyone that, you know what, this is the real deal. Let's make it happen. So,

Congratulations for everything you've done. Thank you for everything you've done so that the women in our game are recognised. They're being seen. My kids are growing up in a world where it is normal and it's incredible. But what about for women in league this year? What makes it so significant or what makes it extra special for you this year, Katie?

Just one thing you said there, which I talk to people about, this is an investment, it's not a cost. And I'm in a position, my company's in a position where we can invest and people have to invest in sport. It covers so many bases from grassroots, bringing those young ones through that participation piece. And you look at the number of female participants,

that you've now got in the game. This year it was, I've been given the figure of 45,000. Three years ago it was 24,000. And the big growth is the 10 to 15-year-old young girls coming through. But one of the things we've added this year is, well, there's a couple of things, but I really like we're doing two internships.

and that's paid part-time to work at the NRL and Harvey Norman so that you can see the inner workings of a great sporting code plus a

great ASX company how it works and it's also for the NRL executives that are going to do the mentoring piece there they've got 20 female employees they're going to do that mentoring piece amongst and doing it with the clubs as well so we're really getting into more of the minutiae of now what are the possibilities if you're female in the game of rugby league and

So we talk about the players, we talk about broadcasts, and we've for some time been talking about there are so many parts to this game that you can be involved with, whether it's, you know, player, coach, referee, but also, you know, running the game. How do you run a club? Can you become a commissioner? What does it take to do all of those things and have a say? So I really love that that's been added to this year.

Katie, I'd just like to thank you for what you've done forever. You've been a major sponsor here at this station forever and ever, and you've certainly piled a lot of money into the football side of it here as well. But just in rugby league in general, you and Jerry have done a phenomenal job in

You know, really looking after the NRL. And I know it's not just the NRL. It's probably just about every sport you can name. But Harvey Norman is just synonymous with any sporting organisation. You tip your money in. You don't have to, but you do. And I just think it's phenomenal what you do. And I noticed in tonight's game with Sharks and the Rabbitohs, there's an initiative that you guys, I think, have got behind here where you're going to donate $1,000 to

to the Ovarian Cancer Australia for every successful conversion during the game. And I think the NRL is going to match it. And that's on the back of an initiative you have for a, I think it's a young girl, is it Tyrion Wilkinson, an 11-year-old Sharks fan who recently declared she's cancer-free after battling stage four ovarian cancer. It's brilliant.

But, you know, it goes hand in hand, Daryl, actually, because you're helping community. And, you know, I took Gerry, I think we spoke about it last year, I took Gerry to that first State of Origin game at North Sydney about six years ago where it was...

broadcast on maybe the secondary channel but I took him along so he could see how far the girls had come the quality of the game and why it should be on primetime TV now come to this year and

And have a look at those numbers. Have a look. I was looking at and talking to the girls in camp and just looking at how far they've come because I've now got everything that the guys, not everything, their

They're still working on it. Maybe they're 80% of where they have the investment in, whether it's strength coaching, whatever it may be, and just how far the games come. And those girls are elite athletes, and they deserve to have the visibility just like the guys do, and you can see it delivers the numbers. So, you know, there's so many parts to it, Daryl, that...

all come back to me and Gerry to community and that investment in sport and people. Fantastic. It's brilliant what you've done. I mean, over the years, you've just been... Absolutely. You've tipped so much money into all sports. Good on you. Yeah, well done. Well done to you and to Gerry and thank you for your sponsorship of this program over many, many years as well. Katie, we'll let you keep at it over there in Birmingham. Cheer on those Aussies and as we continue to celebrate the Harvey Norman Women in League Round. Thanks so much for your support.

Thanks, Mark. I'm off to sell some fridges. Bye. Too good, Katie. What a legend. Catch you soon. Katie Page, she is one of the nicest people I think I've ever met. So well done to Katie and Gerry. The Harvey Norman Women in League Round, 18 years, I think she said. Just unbelievable.

yes they are a major sponsor of ours on the continuous call team we need to declare that and right across the network but their investment in rugby league is just phenomenal as Darrell mentioned now quickly around the grounds 30 points to 18 Gold Coast leading Brisbane 10 minutes left in the second half 10 to play in the second half 30 points to 18 Gold Coast leading Brisbane now many things in life are unpredictable like if your team will make it to the finals this year but there are some things you can count on if you love going to the footy or

concerts, you'll know the hassle or stress of rushing to get there on time. Well, worry no more. You can keep your schedule with Uber Reserve. Listen to this. Uber Reserve, you reserve an Uber ride in advance, whether that's 30 minutes before full-time, right up to 90 days before kick-off, and it's easy to use. Just head into the Uber app, tap the Reserve icon, and choose your pickup day and time. Then relax and meet your driver when it's time. Conditions apply. Reserve now, ride later with Uber Reserve. Time for an Olympics update.

Good afternoon, Mike Pearsall with your Olympic update. Day 8 of the Paris Games is now underway. Plenty of action ahead for the Aussies with more medals to be won in the swimming pool and in rowing.

Track and field action has begun and Australia has had some early success. Eleanor Patterson and Nicola Ollislagas both into the women's high jump final. Bree Masters is the first Australian woman to make the 100m sprint semi-finals since Sydney 2000. Claudia Hollingsworth is into the 800m semi-finals.

while Rowan Browning will be in action in the men's 100m preliminaries today. And on the golf course, Jason Day and Minwoo Lee will tee off in the next couple of hours, hoping to get themselves in medal contention on moving day. Santa Shoffley, Hideki Matsuyama and Tommy Fleetwood are the current leaders. Checking the medal tally, Australia is equal with France. Both have 11 gold medals. We are behind with only six silver to the host nation's 12.

China still leading the way with 13 gold medals. I'm Mike Pearsall. That's the very latest from the Paris Olympics. That Paris 2024 medal tally was thanks to NRMA Insurance, a help company.

Alana Ferguson, Mark Levy, Big Mar and Daryl Bryman, Paul Gallen, the continuous call team back around the grounds, 32-18, Gold Coast leading Brisbane, seven minutes left in the second half. We do that for Uber Reserve as we take you around the ground. Now it's time for PointsBet's new NRL experience. What's gambling really costing you?

For free and confidential support, visit gamblerhelponline.org.au. Now, we spoke earlier to George Rose about the Sharks, well, the earlier game between the Storm and the Dragons, I should say, but we've got him back on the line to have a closer look at the Sharks and the Rabbitohs. Hey, George. Hey, boys. How we going? Good, good. Sharks, $1.27. Rabbitohs, $3.80. Outsiders, come on, you bunnies. Who are you liking this one, buddy?

Oh, look, if you're looking for a bit of value, the Rabbitohs isn't a terrible bet, but me personally, I'm all Sharks on this one. I think the Rabbitohs have been absolutely terrible. Last week, I was really disappointed in their performance against the Raiders, so I'm all Sharks. All right, so Sharkies to win. What about your same game multi in this one, George?

I've got Sione Katoa to score any time try score. I've got total match tries over eight and a half, because let's be honest, neither of them are going to be defending. And I've got the Rabbitohs to score the last try. It could be the only one they score in this game. And the Rabbitohs have scored the last try in their last five games, so that might be a little...

option there $7.27 about that one so Katoa anytime try scorer total match tries over eight and a half and Rabideau's to score the last try $7.27 that's all happening at Pointsbet Stadium with the Sharks and the Rabideau's kicking off at 7.35 later on tonight you're a good man George we'll catch you tomorrow

Cheers, boys. My shout if it gets up. Oh, yeah. That's what I want to hear. Thank you, George. That's George Rose from Pointsbet. You win some, you lose more. For free and confidential support, visit gamblinghelponline.org.au. Now, the Gold Coast have scored again here, Big Man. So it's 36-18. Titans leading Brisbane, five to play in the second half. They're just all over the place. Brisbane, defensively, they're terrible. That was horrendous. I mean, it's terrible. Reece Walsh on a few occasions. I love Reece Walsh, but he's just rushed out of the line. He's been beaten, and he's just...

just shown where the Gold Coast boys need to run, and they've run there, and they're just, at the moment, they're just, this game can't finish quick enough for Kevin Walsh. He's been moved to 5'8", I think, so he's defending in a place he's not used to defending. He's normally at fullback, obviously, but he's got no idea what's going on over there. Let's not forget, Brisbane did lead 12-0 in this game. Yeah, they did 12-0. It's now 36-18. Mm-hmm.

So they've scored one try since then and had, what, six, maybe seven put on them. I mean, it's not good enough. There's young Xavier Willinson. He's a good young player, a big body, and he's one of the players that guys like Kirk Capel moved on for. He's had a shocker, dropped the ball, missed tackles. He's...

Yeah, they've got to keep young guys out. I totally understand that. But I just feel they've lost too much experience on the back end the last year to compete this year. And they're showing it.

The mornings when I used to get out of bed, my back was terrible. All because of the mattress. That's all I can put it down to. It's a new thing in your life. That's all I can put it down to.
