[3:24] Speaker 2: thing you've ever done. I think because he is the

[3:42] Speaker 1: let's let's get ahead around these tariffs.
[3:43] Speaker 2: And do you know what I would love for you
[3:45] Speaker 2: to do. You sit across from Donald and you go
[3:47] Speaker 2: right and you pull out a laptop and you try
[3:49] Speaker 2: to type in and you say, show him the clip

[4:06] Speaker 5: Nah?
[4:07] Speaker 1: No, I feel like you.
[4:09] Speaker 2: I feel like everyone can sort of understand him already. Really,
[4:12] Speaker 2: it's pretty that he's pretty straightforward. To sort of get
[4:15] Speaker 2: to know.
[4:15] Speaker 3: You might need to look into his childhood. I wonder
[4:19] Speaker 3: what his relationship with his father was like.
[4:22] Speaker 2: No one wants to hear about that.
[4:23] Speaker 5: Who cares?
[4:23] Speaker 1: What is such a hater? Just so negative?
[4:27] Speaker 3: There's a reason for everything you studying that.

[5:12] Speaker 1: Okay, let's run through the degree in decisive tris you are?
[5:16] Speaker 1: You are multi skilled. I'll hand it to you. You're
[5:18] Speaker 1: good at so many things. In fact, I would say
[5:21] Speaker 1: you're too good, too many things. Hence why you spread

[6:06] Speaker 3: So I can teach someone from zero to one hundred.
[6:08] Speaker 5: Yeah, that's cool.
[6:11] Speaker 1: Maybe just think about from twenty to thirty.
[6:14] Speaker 5: What are some of what are some of those kids
[6:15] Speaker 5: you taught doing naturally well? Sheld?
[6:17] Speaker 2: She used to teach one of my mates erotic messes.
[6:20] Speaker 2: She used to she used to teach one of my friends,
[6:23] Speaker 2: Finn Heath, and he's basically like you know, he's a
[6:27] Speaker 2: builder is he's a vagrant.
[6:30] Speaker 5: You know what someone said, Jamie Burer said to me
[6:32] Speaker 5: the other day that back in the day you did
[6:34] Speaker 5: some there was a counseling thing that the young manly
[6:36] Speaker 5: juniors jad and you know who was the young Fosball
[6:40] Speaker 5: was there?
[6:40] Speaker 2: I believe hear in French?
[6:42] Speaker 4: Was Karen there?
[6:43] Speaker 5: Yeah?
[6:43] Speaker 2: He was kiss Kieran said, that's yeah. He credits a
[6:46] Speaker 2: lot of his coaching to it.
[6:48] Speaker 3: To me, where there you go?
[6:50] Speaker 1: Do you know on Kieran, I don't know. I don't
[6:52] Speaker 1: want to lose this, lose his thought. I just drove
[6:55] Speaker 1: past manly veiled KFC. They've removed the face of the
[6:59] Speaker 1: Colonel Fozz's head there.
[7:01] Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's quite It's already out there. It's in
[7:03] Speaker 2: the it's in the newspaper and everything.
[7:08] Speaker 3: Actually like KFC did it.
[7:10] Speaker 1: Yeah, KFC did it.
[7:11] Speaker 2: And Nic and Kieran foreign Chicken.
[7:13] Speaker 1: Yep, that's amazing. It is amazing.
[7:15] Speaker 2: And their sponsor, I don't know they are.
[7:19] Speaker 1: I think four Pints Parks changed its name now to
[7:22] Speaker 1: pin Pine.
[7:23] Speaker 2: Park just so this week, isn't it unbelievable?
[7:26] Speaker 5: So they're trying to they're trying to find out who
[7:28] Speaker 5: actually has the someone copyrighted. They took the intellectual property
[7:32] Speaker 5: of fosball. They have the rights to it, and they
[7:35] Speaker 5: don't know who it is. Someone was selling hats there,
[7:37] Speaker 5: who's selling hats at the moment with fosballs? They approached
[7:40] Speaker 5: him and he's denied. He says, actually don't have the
[7:42] Speaker 5: rights to it. So someone out there trademarked fos ball
[7:47] Speaker 5: just as it was happening. So mainly I think you're
[7:49] Speaker 5: trying to figure out who it is so they can
[7:51] Speaker 5: start using it for the next three years for marketing.
[7:53] Speaker 1: Well maybe people if you know the person, name them
[7:57] Speaker 1: and chain them.
[7:58] Speaker 5: And we'll get it.
[7:58] Speaker 3: We'll name them gas bags. What I hate when people
[8:02] Speaker 3: do that.
[8:03] Speaker 2: They haven't I don't think they've done anything wrong.
[8:06] Speaker 4: Yeah, they try and take advantage and then they try
[8:08] Speaker 4: and sell it back to the person.
[8:09] Speaker 2: But realistically, isn't that just like stock market you buy it,
[8:13] Speaker 2: sell ith It's just smart business.
[8:15] Speaker 4: They're taking someone else's if you're intellectual property, because obviously
[8:19] Speaker 4: they didn't use it first.
[8:20] Speaker 5: If you don't like this trush, i'd say, what you're
[8:22] Speaker 5: not going to like? So what people doing there's hackers,
[8:26] Speaker 5: they call them, but they're just people on social media
[8:28] Speaker 5: that what they do is professionally. This is a full business.
[8:31] Speaker 5: At the moment they go on they type in engagement
[8:34] Speaker 5: on reels and Instagram and figure out when people are
[8:37] Speaker 5: getting newly engaged. And then the woman who will then
[8:41] Speaker 5: take the husband's name. They take her name, put the
[8:44] Speaker 5: new name, and make all the variations possible that her
[8:47] Speaker 5: account name may be, and then have it so then
[8:51] Speaker 5: she can't change it to the new name with her
[8:54] Speaker 5: husband after they're married, so then they have to buy
[8:57] Speaker 5: it off them for trademark purposes.
[8:58] Speaker 1: Well, that was perfectly clear, understood what you said.
[9:05] Speaker 3: They preempted and you married name.
[9:07] Speaker 1: If they worked that out, fair play?
[9:11] Speaker 4: Sorry?
[9:12] Speaker 3: Where is this on Instagram? Did you on reels?
[9:14] Speaker 2: I think on both, I think on Yeah, that's on
[9:17] Speaker 2: the same.
[9:18] Speaker 3: That's the same.
[9:18] Speaker 5: That's right.

[12:24] Speaker 2: Egyptian and language to talk to all the Egyptians.
[12:27] Speaker 1: I believe she was she was eleven. I believe she

[13:19] Speaker 2: See, this is the thing with Dad. His intro questions.
[13:21] Speaker 2: They're always either about music or like, if you were
[13:24] Speaker 2: a vinyl album work from the nineteen seventy six, what
[13:27] Speaker 2: would you be and why? Or it's a historical I reckon.
[13:30] Speaker 2: In the six years we've done the family Partty, you've
[13:33] Speaker 2: made this. If you if the person on your left
[13:35] Speaker 2: was a historical leader, who would been white? I reckon
[13:37] Speaker 2: every six to seven months, you do it.
[13:39] Speaker 1: And people just want it moreyter up to Jack, continue mate.
[13:43] Speaker 5: Six to seven six or seven months? Pretty obvious. Why,

[14:33] Speaker 1: spoken about so far had their share.
[14:35] Speaker 2: Of He'll be Mussolini. I think he has the most
[14:39] Speaker 2: blood on his hands out of all of them.

[14:55] Speaker 3: How have I repressed?
[14:56] Speaker 5: You?
[14:56] Speaker 1: Just let us get tortured the wider population? Tick? You're
[15:01] Speaker 1: back up the boys. Uh. Suffers enormous paranoia tick.
[15:06] Speaker 2: I don't know what he's talking about.
[15:07] Speaker 1: Forces people to do the dishes, food off tick, terrible
[15:12] Speaker 1: sense of humor tick, convenient memory loss tick, hated his
[15:17] Speaker 1: loved ones going to the coloroid.
[15:20] Speaker 4: They don't mock my memory loss because I'm going to
[15:22] Speaker 4: go and see a doctor about he's not well.
[15:25] Speaker 1: There is not well.
[15:25] Speaker 5: Is there any dictator that would have actually like a
[15:28] Speaker 5: historical leader that you would take as a compliment? Are
[15:30] Speaker 5: there many? Few?
[15:33] Speaker 2: Like John Howard?
[15:34] Speaker 3: I mean to be fair, I have liked Cleopatra.
[15:37] Speaker 1: Yeah, she's you know when she rolled herself up in
[15:41] Speaker 1: a rug, they presented Antony with the I don't think
[15:45] Speaker 1: she was in there.
[15:45] Speaker 3: That's how she got in there.
[15:47] Speaker 5: Do you think Cooper's clear Patrick for for me today
[15:50] Speaker 5: was a bit weak? Did you think that was I.
[15:53] Speaker 3: Think that he thought somehow. I think he thought right,
[15:56] Speaker 3: and he thought he was going to do it for me.
[15:57] Speaker 3: That's what I am.
[15:59] Speaker 5: I right, be honest, because I would have thought you
[16:01] Speaker 5: write that down because you're pretty critical of everyone else's humor.
[16:04] Speaker 5: I thought you would have written down and realized maybe
[16:06] Speaker 5: this isn't that good.
[16:09] Speaker 2: Dad, do not You've sat here and me, the amount
[16:12] Speaker 2: of eye contact we've had at each other already fifteen
[16:15] Speaker 2: minutes in and everything.
[16:16] Speaker 1: Jack said, that's not true.
[16:19] Speaker 5: Dad.
[16:19] Speaker 2: You look every time you speak, you look at me
[16:21] Speaker 2: and you wink and you and.
[16:24] Speaker 1: I'm waiting for here we are brace yourselves. But hey, guys,
[16:29] Speaker 1: he's not well. He's not well. You feel tennis my lip.
[16:36] Speaker 3: That made me laugh.
[16:38] Speaker 2: Get into our week because we built it up last
[16:40] Speaker 2: week about going to Jaring Gong. Jack was down there
[16:42] Speaker 2: with me as well. We went down and supposedly to
[16:45] Speaker 2: go and watch the Jarring Gong Lions play and it
[16:48] Speaker 2: got rained out. I didn't check the Group seven Facebook
[16:51] Speaker 2: page and it got rained out, which was disappointing.
[16:53] Speaker 3: But President didn't let you know when he came to
[16:55] Speaker 3: drop off your gear.
[16:56] Speaker 2: He didn't drop off the gear to me. He dropped
[16:58] Speaker 2: it off to Rocket Roder Wi Shark about the clothing, So.
[17:01] Speaker 3: Who paid for it?
[17:01] Speaker 4: Then?
[17:02] Speaker 1: Nice JACKO, there you nailed it a second.
[17:07] Speaker 2: Well done, Jack. Okay, maybe he's back maybe the dog. Yet,
[17:10] Speaker 2: maybe I've lost it, settle down, he called it. Maybe
[17:14] Speaker 2: I've lots no way he could catch that, his hands
[17:17] Speaker 2: aren't big enough. But then we went to Mick Cronan's pub,
[17:20] Speaker 2: now the Notorious Pub with Mick Cronan.
[17:23] Speaker 1: Not Notorious the famous.
[17:26] Speaker 2: Yeah, well both both could work. Both work as adjectives.
[17:29] Speaker 4: Were Notorious implies that it's yeah, notorious is like there's
[17:33] Speaker 4: a negative connotation.
[17:35] Speaker 5: No ariety about it. Right.
[17:37] Speaker 2: Well, anyway we went. We went there and look, it
[17:42] Speaker 2: was a nice pub, had a few schooners in there.
[17:44] Speaker 2: But there was a man in there who I want
[17:45] Speaker 2: to talk about.
[17:47] Speaker 5: He.
[17:47] Speaker 2: I don't know whether he was the Albert Einstein of
[17:49] Speaker 2: the of horse racing, but I've never seen a process
[17:52] Speaker 2: like it. He had a calculator, five rulers, piece of string,
[17:55] Speaker 2: and five different sharpened pencils, and he had done the
[17:58] Speaker 2: analytics on every hole. Also was coming up a piece
[18:01] Speaker 2: of string.
[18:01] Speaker 5: He had a piece of it was like twine. Wow.
[18:04] Speaker 2: And he was in there and he had a magnifying glass.
[18:06] Speaker 2: He would read the form. And Jack had a funny
[18:09] Speaker 2: experience with him because Jack went up and was asking
[18:11] Speaker 2: him questions.
[18:12] Speaker 5: Yeah, but he didn't like Jack Cooper. Cooper went to
[18:15] Speaker 5: the Cooper went the Bogies year as usually does, and
[18:18] Speaker 5: I was sitting there and having a yarn with him.
[18:20] Speaker 5: I went up to him and sort of thought, oh,
[18:21] Speaker 5: he's on his own, and you know he's sitting there
[18:23] Speaker 5: in the form guy. And I thought, and you know what,
[18:25] Speaker 5: he had this algorithm written out. I'll seeking to myself.
[18:27] Speaker 5: Who knows I might even get some good tips here
[18:29] Speaker 5: off him? And I walk up to him and he goes,
[18:32] Speaker 5: can you watch your foot there? Mate? There was nothing there?
[18:34] Speaker 5: That's a weird start. Then he goes, I go, hey,
[18:37] Speaker 5: are you going today? He goes, oh, good, mate, good
[18:39] Speaker 5: just having it? You know, I just I just work
[18:41] Speaker 5: out all the all the old tear. I like to
[18:43] Speaker 5: figure out, you know, where the outsiders are. Which horses
[18:45] Speaker 5: are you know, undervalued for what they should be or overvalued,
[18:49] Speaker 5: and you know all the ruffies. And I went, all, right,
[18:52] Speaker 5: here we go. I said, you had a bet on anything?
[18:54] Speaker 5: He goes, no, I don't bet that. He proceeded to go,
[18:57] Speaker 5: We'll sit down next to me and next to this
[18:59] Speaker 5: big duffel bag. And I said, no, I'm all good,
[19:01] Speaker 5: and then he went, oh okay. Then don't stand over
[19:03] Speaker 5: me then and I was okay, And then he goes.
[19:05] Speaker 5: I said, look, all right, I'll let you be, but
[19:07] Speaker 5: which one of the next do you reckon? He goes
[19:08] Speaker 5: this eight, He goes, it's a European horse. I'm telling
[19:11] Speaker 5: you right now, back it's it's paying about twenty bucks.
[19:15] Speaker 5: It will win. That's sweet, No worries. So I go
[19:18] Speaker 5: down and sit back down on my own. And as
[19:20] Speaker 5: I'm watching this race unfold and going the eight, the eight,
[19:23] Speaker 5: where is the eight sitting there watching the last one hundred?
[19:27] Speaker 5: I reckon? Fifty yards behind the whole pack? Was the
[19:29] Speaker 5: eight sitting there?
[19:31] Speaker 3: You didn't have a bed on dinner?
[19:32] Speaker 5: I think now there was a few red flags on
[19:34] Speaker 5: the way.
[19:35] Speaker 1: It sound like there were a few twine, did you know,
[19:38] Speaker 1: Like when you have old blokes just sitting there doing
[19:39] Speaker 1: their own thing. You see that again, we're going to
[19:41] Speaker 1: sit there. They've got the laptop in front. But years
[19:43] Speaker 1: and years and years ago, long long time, when I
[19:46] Speaker 1: was sort of in my early mid twenties, Blake used
[19:49] Speaker 1: to say to me, there's a couple of blokes on you.
[19:50] Speaker 1: And they said, ah, mate, if you go to a
[19:53] Speaker 1: pub in Maitland, mate, every Saturday. This is old bloke
[19:56] Speaker 1: who just sits here by himself, having a beer, and
[19:58] Speaker 1: he's got a full scap of paper, writes down notes
[20:00] Speaker 1: the whole time watching the game. Anyway, mate, we take
[20:03] Speaker 1: the piece out of everyone takes a piece out of him.
[20:05] Speaker 1: And one day I walk along with these blokes and
[20:06] Speaker 1: they go, mate, there's that old way there, and I said, mate,
[20:09] Speaker 1: that's Alan Bell. He's probably the smartest bloke really, So
[20:12] Speaker 1: you just never know.
[20:14] Speaker 5: Now, well, this bloke because I put him.
[20:15] Speaker 2: I put up a picture of him looking at the
[20:18] Speaker 2: newspaper on my Instagram story through a magnifying guys and
[20:22] Speaker 2: a guy said, no, we know him. He's been around
[20:24] Speaker 2: the very gerryngung Era for a long time. Retired A
[20:28] Speaker 2: and U rocket scientist, hasn't shaken anyone's hand in twenty
[20:32] Speaker 2: five years because he shook melman Inger's hand once apparently
[20:35] Speaker 2: and allegedly broke all his fingers. That's what he said. Serious,
[20:39] Speaker 2: So make of that as you will.
[20:41] Speaker 3: Okay, do they have rocket science at A and you
[20:45] Speaker 3: I'm going to google that.
[20:46] Speaker 2: You feel free to google if.
[20:47] Speaker 5: You like the paper he had the form he was
[20:50] Speaker 5: doing like fractions and then there was high pot News,
[20:53] Speaker 5: So like plus culls, you know, a plus bicles seed.
[20:56] Speaker 4: I believe that's Pythagoras. Yeah, yeah, News, that's the type
[21:00] Speaker 4: of train.
[21:01] Speaker 5: You're trying to find, the high pot News.
[21:02] Speaker 1: That's got the string there too with working out lengths.
[21:05] Speaker 2: Yeah, but why is he a horse racing?
[21:07] Speaker 5: Yeah?
[21:08] Speaker 1: Well to what we'll never know exactly.
[21:11] Speaker 4: Other thing is like, what's the point in working out
[21:14] Speaker 4: if horses are overpriced or underpriced?
[21:16] Speaker 3: Like it doesn't really matter.
[21:17] Speaker 2: Yeah, and can we also can I tease something as well?
[21:22] Speaker 5: Right?
[21:22] Speaker 2: Because I wasn't down there alone. Look, I'm not going
[21:25] Speaker 2: to give too much weight to our listeners, right, but
[21:27] Speaker 2: let's just say there's there may be someone in my
[21:30] Speaker 2: life at the moment, but I want to do I
[21:35] Speaker 2: want to do a big reveal on the potty in
[21:37] Speaker 2: the next few weeks.
[21:39] Speaker 5: It was weird.
[21:40] Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I'm just really weird.
[21:43] Speaker 3: Yeah, really weird.
[21:44] Speaker 5: I didn't expect this from I was expecting just to
[21:46] Speaker 5: say secrecy.
[21:47] Speaker 2: No, no, no, I don't want that. I want to
[21:48] Speaker 2: I want to keep it secret to an extent, but
[21:50] Speaker 2: I wanted because I wanted the party to be the
[21:52] Speaker 2: big reveal.
[21:52] Speaker 5: Is it serious, dude?
[21:54] Speaker 2: Yeah, it's serious already. Can we also reveal as well?
[21:59] Speaker 2: Last week on the Party, you made a statement saying
[22:01] Speaker 2: that people could test for DNA for height for a
[22:05] Speaker 2: fear of heights, and a bloke got in contact saying
[22:09] Speaker 2: I had this test. It is correct, I have a
[22:12] Speaker 2: genetic gene that says I don't have a fear of heights.
[22:15] Speaker 4: So and also Jack Brabham did race the eight cars.
[22:22] Speaker 2: He did both, although this bloke was just to go
[22:25] Speaker 2: on Instagram, and I did think it's weird, like what
[22:27] Speaker 2: kind of person goes.
[22:28] Speaker 4: To the doctor could because he messaged me to yeah,
[22:31] Speaker 4: I'm assuming it's the same person.
[22:32] Speaker 2: Yeah, probably would have been. But what I'm saying is
[22:35] Speaker 2: what kind of person goes to the doctor and tests
[22:37] Speaker 2: to see if they have a gene for having not
[22:39] Speaker 2: a fear of heights.
[22:40] Speaker 4: Because potentially as a child they may have done outlandish
[22:43] Speaker 4: things and their parents were done.
[22:44] Speaker 3: What is wrong with this child? Like they don't fear.
[22:47] Speaker 5: And tweeted this guy's account. His email was Maddie John's
[22:51] Speaker 5: O nine at gmail dot com. He's losing it, No, Jack,
[22:57] Speaker 5: it wasn't. Jack was trying to be funny.
[22:59] Speaker 1: What happens is a great revert pack to.
[23:03] Speaker 5: See what happens now cover is anything I throw up?
[23:05] Speaker 5: Now he's going to try and avert the listeners to
[23:07] Speaker 5: try and turn on me.
[23:11] Speaker 3: You are getting weird.
[23:12] Speaker 1: You are getting so mate. I had my own I
[23:15] Speaker 1: had my own sort of encounter because I was I
[23:19] Speaker 1: was down there as well and went and called through

[23:25] Speaker 1: I go to a faery meadow, I had to do
[23:26] Speaker 1: a speaking gig that night, and may I've got to

[26:30] Speaker 1: It because don't say that.
[26:33] Speaker 2: So I was actually lucky enough while Dad was doing that.
[26:35] Speaker 2: I was also lucky enough to catch up with a
[26:37] Speaker 2: few of the Manly old boys.
[26:38] Speaker 5: The mob.
[26:39] Speaker 2: We had the Golden Eagles. That's what sort of our
[26:42] Speaker 2: nickname is. We we on the captain run of the
[26:45] Speaker 2: Manly Seagles training run we did. We got in early
[26:47] Speaker 2: and did a big gym session together Jim circuit, so.
[26:50] Speaker 3: We all worked it out to the Manly played tonight.
[26:52] Speaker 2: They played tonight as we're recording this, Yes, against the
[26:55] Speaker 2: rabbit Os. But Wednesday morning we did a big Golden
[26:58] Speaker 2: Eagle session. Gie Rose Beaver, Menzies, Boxy, Marky Bryant, who
[27:05] Speaker 2: was Will hop Awardi, John Hoppowardi, the really prostates how
[27:09] Speaker 2: good does Hopper look for his for his age? Oh mate,
[27:12] Speaker 2: there's a yeah, Popper looked unbelievable.
[27:14] Speaker 1: Will say anything I said? Will it? Text? The other night,
[27:16] Speaker 1: just commending him on something, all the work he's doing
[27:18] Speaker 1: in the schools. I never heard back. I thought, God,
[27:21] Speaker 1: I wonder if he's duty on me a bet something.
[27:23] Speaker 3: Maybe he changed his dumble.
[27:24] Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe he changed his number. A lot of people
[27:26] Speaker 2: changed numbers these days. But no, he definitely didn't say anything.
[27:29] Speaker 3: But he didn't feel the need to reciprocate or knowledge.
[27:32] Speaker 3: Awel gracious news is good news.
[27:35] Speaker 2: But the so something quite embarrassing happened. Right, So afterwards
[27:39] Speaker 2: Fozz who just re signed with manly congratulations to Fozz.
[27:43] Speaker 2: He came down to all the Golden Eagles because Jason
[27:47] Speaker 2: King was a monster as well, and said, come up
[27:48] Speaker 2: on cap'n Drum. We have like a team coffee and
[27:50] Speaker 2: then we do the meeting before we go on the
[27:52] Speaker 2: you know, the last meeting about the rabbit. Before we
[27:54] Speaker 2: think you should all come up have a coffee with
[27:56] Speaker 2: the team. You know they'd love to see the Golden
[27:58] Speaker 2: Eagles so oh sweet. So I already I already felt
[28:02] Speaker 2: a little.
[28:02] Speaker 3: Do you consider yourself golden question?
[28:05] Speaker 5: I played for the.
[28:06] Speaker 2: Club one yeah, maybe like a golden Sea seagull, look
[28:13] Speaker 2: bron seagull. And I was like, right, So I already
[28:15] Speaker 2: felt to be uncomfortable because obviously all the boys there
[28:17] Speaker 2: I'd played with, so I was I was very much
[28:19] Speaker 2: a different Having me in the room is a different
[28:22] Speaker 2: aura than having like, you know, Jason King, or having
[28:25] Speaker 2: Hopper old Steve Menzies in there, who's dug the well.
[28:29] Speaker 2: And then the real nail in the coffin where everyone
[28:31] Speaker 2: was sort of laughing at me, was Kieran for And
[28:34] Speaker 2: gets up there and he's like, you know, boys, we
[28:36] Speaker 2: got South Sydney this week, but there's a group of
[28:39] Speaker 2: people in the back of the room I really want
[28:41] Speaker 2: to acknowledge. And by this stage the rest of the
[28:43] Speaker 2: guys had to go to work, so there's maybe five
[28:45] Speaker 2: or six of us, right, and I'm the like, like
[28:47] Speaker 2: Brad Parker was sort of with me, but he left,
[28:49] Speaker 2: so it's me. And then it's like hopp A Warti's
[28:52] Speaker 2: Beaver and Jamie Burer and someone else Heath was strange.
[28:57] Speaker 2: So I'm sitting there and like but like of the
[29:00] Speaker 2: club and I'm seeing there and everybody turns around. They're
[29:02] Speaker 2: looking at me in the back of them amongst all
[29:04] Speaker 2: these legends, and Fozzy's gone, you know, all through my career,
[29:09] Speaker 2: you know, I always acknowledged this club and the history
[29:13] Speaker 2: that it has, and I really want to connect back
[29:15] Speaker 2: to the roots here. So if you go back there
[29:17] Speaker 2: after session, you can have a yarm with some of
[29:19] Speaker 2: our golden Eagles. Learn something from them, because it goes
[29:22] Speaker 2: a long way in us being successful at this club.
[29:25] Speaker 2: And they're all looking back at me, and I had
[29:27] Speaker 2: my head down because I was like Homer Simpson, you
[29:29] Speaker 2: know that Simpsons me where it just sort of like
[29:32] Speaker 2: backs off and I'm trying to back off into the
[29:35] Speaker 2: back of the room. He sort of hit the back wall,
[29:37] Speaker 2: and I'm looking and like Lucky Croker's in the room,
[29:39] Speaker 2: just like shaking his head, and all the other boys
[29:41] Speaker 2: are in there, like clearly all the eyes are on me,
[29:44] Speaker 2: just laughing at me, enjoying your Oh man, it was
[29:47] Speaker 2: the worst thing.
[29:48] Speaker 1: I had something eerily similar, but lessually more embarrassing years ago.
[29:52] Speaker 1: What they used to do in the NRL, the Mind
[29:55] Speaker 1: Workers Union used to put on special It was a
[29:59] Speaker 1: special cosun clinic and they get all the best players
[30:01] Speaker 1: in the league to go there, six of them, and
[30:03] Speaker 1: they two ch al the kids. Anyway. One night they'd
[30:05] Speaker 1: have a night We're a dinner and the legends would
[30:07] Speaker 1: get up and someone else would talk about them, like, Okay,
[30:10] Speaker 1: Bradley Clyde's known for this, now this year, that year
[30:13] Speaker 1: there was there was Turfs, Jeff Tuvey who was at
[30:16] Speaker 1: the height of his powers, Bradley Clyde probably maybe the
[30:18] Speaker 1: best player in the world at that too, Benny Elias,
[30:20] Speaker 1: Wayne Pearce, Siroh, Ricky Stewart and Paul Harrigan. Now what
[30:26] Speaker 1: happened one of the other Newcastle Knight Boys was Mark
[30:29] Speaker 1: Sargent's supposed to go and had to pull out. The
[30:31] Speaker 1: chief goes, hey, Chimpy, you know it's worth a thousand
[30:33] Speaker 1: bucks do you want to do it? And I'm like
[30:34] Speaker 1: a thousand bucks? Shit, yeah, Like I'd played one first
[30:37] Speaker 1: grade game. So we stand up with these like seven
[30:41] Speaker 1: legends and there's a bloak who goes one by one
[30:43] Speaker 1: down thing talking about him and I was next to
[30:46] Speaker 1: Bradley Clyde and they go, Bradley Clyde, this bloke, this
[30:49] Speaker 1: bloke could possibly be we'll letting up one of the
[30:51] Speaker 1: greatest players of all time. I think you'll be in
[30:53] Speaker 1: more than one day. And he comes to me and
[30:56] Speaker 1: he's actually not sure exactly who I am. He goes
[31:00] Speaker 1: and the big fella here, the big fella here, mate,
[31:04] Speaker 1: what a future? Put your hairs together and yeah, they
[31:09] Speaker 1: were going down the line. I was going no impending.
[31:14] Speaker 2: That's that's when I when I got sacked left. I
[31:18] Speaker 2: mean the lines are sort of blurred. But Melbourne, you're
[31:21] Speaker 2: like the you know that jack, like the end of
[31:23] Speaker 2: your awards, and everyone who's leaving the club like if
[31:26] Speaker 2: they'd only played, like you know, if they'd been there
[31:28] Speaker 2: for one year, they probably just put their picture on
[31:30] Speaker 2: the on the wall and you know, thanks for coming
[31:32] Speaker 2: and yadiada. But I think because I'd been there for
[31:35] Speaker 2: five years, but I hadn't played a lot of First
[31:38] Speaker 2: Go It probably played like nine games of First Gate
[31:41] Speaker 2: at Storm across five years. So they got people based
[31:44] Speaker 2: on how long they've been at the club to do
[31:45] Speaker 2: their going away speeches in order so the people leaving
[31:48] Speaker 2: the club that year, David Koflunu come for one year,
[31:50] Speaker 2: so he did an exit speech you know, I love
[31:53] Speaker 2: my time and loan deal. But because he'd been there
[31:55] Speaker 2: shorter time than I had, he went first. So it
[31:58] Speaker 2: was based on how long. So not forgot up there
[32:00] Speaker 2: and off had played like two hundred and fifty in
[32:01] Speaker 2: ur old games, like very respected NURL player, and he
[32:04] Speaker 2: spoke and then I've had to come up after like
[32:06] Speaker 2: an eight grade first grader who's just been sacked about
[32:09] Speaker 2: to sign manly, but then after me, like it was
[32:12] Speaker 2: the Cheese, the Feliskafusi, the Bromwich Brothers, like all these legends,
[32:18] Speaker 2: and I've never felt like my I tried to take
[32:20] Speaker 2: the piss and all of my speeches, but all of
[32:21] Speaker 2: them were like teared up, like crying, and it was
[32:26] Speaker 2: just I could feel the sponsors just their money was
[32:28] Speaker 2: bleeding out of the climb.
[32:29] Speaker 1: One more Fletch tells his story, and I think it
[32:32] Speaker 1: was the Origin camp in two thousand and so Wayne
[32:35] Speaker 1: Pierce was a coach and Junior gets it one night
[32:37] Speaker 1: the first nine in camp and goes, right, what we're
[32:39] Speaker 1: going to do. I've got a name for all of
[32:41] Speaker 1: you guys, symbolizes who you are, and he goes, Fletch,
[32:45] Speaker 1: your name, this camp is going to be the Maverick.
[32:48] Speaker 1: You just zoom in there and you zoom out and
[32:50] Speaker 1: no one knows what you're about. Mate, You're a mystery.
[32:52] Speaker 1: You're a maverick. HEINDI to you, your old boots you
[32:56] Speaker 1: look at your mate, you look at them, and you
[32:58] Speaker 1: grab all those old boots and you put them on.
[33:00] Speaker 1: And he just feel comfortable. And he said. Another player went,
[33:02] Speaker 1: you're rust. You know why, because no matter what, you
[33:05] Speaker 1: always leave a mark. And they go through the whole
[33:07] Speaker 1: scena ray gun. Yeah, so you said this, Wayne Pierce.
[33:09] Speaker 1: And then we'll finish, and he goes. As he's about
[33:12] Speaker 1: to leave the room, Fletcher goes, oh, hang on, second, Junior,
[33:14] Speaker 1: you forgot Mickey Vella. Obviously one for Mick Pella. He goes, oh, yeah, yes,
[33:23] Speaker 1: Mick Vella, you're the special One. Anyway, the night of
[33:29] Speaker 1: the game, Junior must have been feeling really bad, still
[33:32] Speaker 1: thinking about a lot. So as he's he goes, right up, boys,
[33:35] Speaker 1: what we're going to do. We make sure we start hard,
[33:39] Speaker 1: blah blah blah. And he he is allowed to leave
[33:41] Speaker 1: and the boys run and he goes, make sure you
[33:43] Speaker 1: follow the Special One.
[33:46] Speaker 5: Do they win? They did?
[33:48] Speaker 1: They did? They won by a record amount.
[33:50] Speaker 3: Maverick with the old dirty Maverick.
[33:52] Speaker 1: Dirty old birds, rust and the Special One. Guys, time
[33:56] Speaker 1: for my dream team. We do, you know, collaborate here
[33:59] Speaker 1: and wek out different things you've done sports people before
[34:03] Speaker 1: all sorts of things today, the four songs you wish
[34:09] Speaker 1: you'd have in terms of writing, My god, I'm just
[34:14] Speaker 1: made this up. Guys, give me four songs that you
[34:18] Speaker 1: wish you've written in terms of you know, as far
[34:20] Speaker 1: as prestige profit, any of those songs in history.
[34:25] Speaker 2: Was purely based Well yeah you okay. The way you
[34:29] Speaker 2: worded it to us, because we had to prepare it,
[34:31] Speaker 2: you said four songs that you had the rights to
[34:33] Speaker 2: in terms of profit, so.
[34:35] Speaker 3: You creative prestige, prestige.
[34:39] Speaker 5: That's not what I read either. The way I read
[34:42] Speaker 5: it was four songs essentially that you're going to end
[34:46] Speaker 5: up with the most cash for having those.
[34:47] Speaker 2: Four I did behavior Rhapsode by Queen probably generates a
[34:50] Speaker 2: lot of revenue for me. But Purple Rain, Prince Prestige, Yeah, prestige, Thunderstruck,
[35:00] Speaker 2: ac DC, you know what I mean? Storm run out
[35:02] Speaker 2: to it the real sense when you hear that song, Yeah, yeah, thanks.
[35:05] Speaker 2: And then basically anything like bon Jovi It's My Life
[35:08] Speaker 2: or something, please, because it's like any NRL Final series
[35:13] Speaker 2: ad is kind of like bon Jovi All my Life.
[35:15] Speaker 2: I imagine it gets royalty.
[35:17] Speaker 1: That's the worst worst bon Jovi song.
[35:19] Speaker 2: Ever, it's my life. Yeah, really, it's your choice, it's
[35:22] Speaker 2: my life.
[35:24] Speaker 5: All right.
[35:24] Speaker 2: Well, let's just finish off with our tips and all right.
[35:27] Speaker 5: Even though it's been a little bit.
[35:28] Speaker 2: Of a testy episode, I would say she's not Welsh,
[35:31] Speaker 2: she said, and you know, and we've had We've had
[35:34] Speaker 2: a couple of tough edits in there. She has been. Well,
[35:37] Speaker 2: I think before everyone starts fighting, what do we just
[35:40] Speaker 2: do our tips? Because round tonight seagulls rabbits, Jack, do
[35:45] Speaker 2: you want to go first with that? Seagulls?
[35:50] Speaker 5: Really? Yeah, you're throwing off, you said to me before
[35:54] Speaker 5: rabbit os Yeah, I think rabbits, but I think fosball.
[35:56] Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm going to go. I like saus in this one,
[35:59] Speaker 1: Brandon returning everything. I can sume win this.
[36:01] Speaker 2: I got seagulls as well.
[36:03] Speaker 5: Storm v.
[36:04] Speaker 2: Nights.
[36:05] Speaker 1: Well, Jack gave me a very interesting stat on the nights.
[36:09] Speaker 1: I'll let him share it, but I'm going to go.
[36:11] Speaker 1: For that reason, we're going to go Melbourne Storm Jack.
[36:14] Speaker 5: I think Knights should win this. But the start is
[36:16] Speaker 5: that the Knights have played only day games other than
[36:19] Speaker 5: Vegas this entire season so far, so there's a fair
[36:23] Speaker 5: chance that the Storm could do their favorites, which is surprising,
[36:26] Speaker 5: but I think it might be because of that.
[36:28] Speaker 1: Yeah, I think so. And Vegas wasn't a night I
[36:30] Speaker 1: mean Vegas is indoors and just burned dry since a
[36:33] Speaker 1: day game in itself. So this is a big test
[36:35] Speaker 1: for Newcastle.
[36:38] Speaker 2: I'll go Storm there as well.
[36:39] Speaker 5: They have to win.
[36:40] Speaker 1: Raiders Roosters. I'm going to get Raiders and an upset
[36:43] Speaker 1: at home. Okay, that hard to beat the Raiders this
[36:46] Speaker 1: time of the year.
[36:47] Speaker 5: In Canberra, I think Roosters after Robert gave him the
[36:49] Speaker 5: first bay last week, I think they'll probably get a response.
[36:53] Speaker 1: This is tough.
[36:55] Speaker 5: Is that at Camber?
[36:55] Speaker 1: You said, Yeah, it's at Canberra Saturday night to cool
[36:59] Speaker 1: I will go.
[37:00] Speaker 2: I'm going to go to Ruders. I'm going to go
[37:02] Speaker 2: to Ruders. Cowboys. Dolphins are going.
[37:04] Speaker 1: To go to Dolphins in this one.
[37:06] Speaker 5: Yeah, I think I think Dolphins get it done.
[37:10] Speaker 2: I will go different. I'm going to go Cows there,
[37:13] Speaker 2: Baby Cows.
[37:13] Speaker 5: Broncos v.
[37:14] Speaker 2: Titans.
[37:14] Speaker 1: That Titans. Titans have we gone through a bit of
[37:19] Speaker 1: a both clubs going through a bit of a tough spot.
[37:21] Speaker 2: Going to go the Titans one one tougher than the other.
[37:24] Speaker 5: Yes, I would say, Jack, Yeah, I'll go Titans the testy,
[37:28] Speaker 5: but yeah.
[37:30] Speaker 2: I will go, Well, you never know, Bronco's gonna be
[37:33] Speaker 2: by Dragons last week, so and I will go to
[37:36] Speaker 2: Titans and normal, I'll go to Titans.
[37:38] Speaker 5: Tigers v.
[37:38] Speaker 2: Penrith.
[37:39] Speaker 1: I reckon this will be game of the year, of
[37:41] Speaker 1: the year. Yep, I reckon this will be game of
[37:43] Speaker 1: the year. Mate, Saturday afternoon, A great attack too. Great
[37:47] Speaker 1: attacking teams made all those Penrith boys up against Penrithterroll
[37:51] Speaker 1: Mays a little bit of a fuse there talking about
[37:53] Speaker 1: the time we negotiated and was going to sign and didn't,
[37:56] Speaker 1: but he was going to sign it where he was
[37:57] Speaker 1: going to sign a Penrith. It has been a bit
[37:59] Speaker 1: going going on there. I'll tell you what, I'm going
[38:01] Speaker 1: to go for a massive upset. I'm going to go
[38:02] Speaker 1: for the Tigers.
[38:04] Speaker 5: That's huge, Jack, Yeah, I'm the same. I think Tigers
[38:08] Speaker 5: will create an upset this week.
[38:09] Speaker 2: What I'm going to go Penrith then, okay, just the
[38:12] Speaker 2: big boys coming back in. I think the Origin Lands.
[38:14] Speaker 2: It's true, Sharks for Dragons are very big rivalry this one.
[38:19] Speaker 1: No, Nick ou and there's no Blake Brawley, but I
[38:22] Speaker 1: reckon it will actually neck tie the Sharks to play
[38:25] Speaker 1: more power football. I'm gonna go the Sharkis.
[38:27] Speaker 2: Okay, I'm thinking, yeah, I'll go Sharkis as well. You know,
[38:34] Speaker 2: I'll go that who thought that the Dragons could win
[38:38] Speaker 2: two in a row. I'm going to go to the Dragons.
[38:39] Speaker 2: I'm going to go to the Dragons. A little upset
[38:41] Speaker 2: Bulldogs Eels.
[38:43] Speaker 1: I'm going to look. I really like the way the
[38:46] Speaker 1: Eels played last week against Newcastle. I'll I'll go another upset.
[38:50] Speaker 1: I'll go to you. I'll go the Eels in this one.
[38:52] Speaker 1: You are going to go I'm going to get PARAMOUNTA yeah, Jack.

[39:05] Speaker 2: we do for Trish? Do we just give her all
