BTB Daily May 13

The Boffins board their new luxury bus and take a deeper dive into the individual chances of BTB players in this year's Mum's Bum Cup.

Transcript

SPEAKER_07 0:00

Got everything packed. Too right I have. I'm an expert packer, been a packer from way back. If I was any more packer, you could call me Kerry or maybe Green Bay. That's a pretty small suitcase you got there, Mario. Yeah, mate, I'm gonna raw dog a lot of it. Good to see you bought your golf stick, Sandy. It's the Homer Golf, isn't it? The mum's bum cup. I thought I might try and get around him while I'm over there. And here he is, none other than Ben. How are you?

SPEAKER_05 0:20

You're looking quite spiffy today, Ben. Yes, I've gone the casual bone de base the ivory the off wat, and I'm feeling quite good in this linen suit and my fourth day pitch tan is holding up beautifully. I've even managed to squirrel along some of the fannest wines from my cellar. Looking forward to a sip or two of some fan wan as we go through the lovely countryside.

SPEAKER_07 0:41

You love saying those words, don't you? You say them all the time. Fine wine.

SPEAKER_05 0:45

No, it's fan wan, and a heaven like you would just simply not understand, Larry.

SPEAKER_07 0:49

Okay, boys, I can see the bus coming down the road. We'd better make it downstairs and uh get on board.

SPEAKER_04 1:08

Gentlemen, gentlemen, gentlemen. Wonderful to see you. Oh God are what you tell them looking forward to a fabulous day.

SPEAKER_03 1:18

Not one like I've asked before.

SPEAKER_04 1:20

Ron's have an office. You have the elected captain of this district. So with this honour comes great responsibility. Here is your itinerary. Do not stay, don't waste time. Because if you are late, will you fail to steer this beautiful bus into charge of waters? That's a kind of speech. There will be a price to fail. And it shall start with your much load.

SPEAKER_06 1:49

Okay, but if someone misses the bus, or the bus is a little bit slow, ticket too fast, and leaves people behind. Can all we do? And think about the joys have to do that, and that is jumping in Uber or a taxi cab and make an all my dick. And if we did on time, we can get in trouble and go on whatever he is on top of his head. He will just be fine.

SPEAKER_02 2:12

You must be marriage. I have heard so much about all of you boys. Is your papa down? Your mama Mario.

SPEAKER_04 2:26

Lady gentlemen, I would like to introduce you to your driver. Please you will be escorting through and around all of the drink and on your way over to Adelaide for the Mammy.

SPEAKER_02 2:40

Look at wonderful of me you are. I have heard you make love like a cabin.

SPEAKER_03 2:48

Oh all depends on how much about the drink.

SPEAKER_02 2:54

Lord, do not mind that. Well, you like, but do not mind that. This must be bad. It's not as different.

SPEAKER_05 3:07

Yeah, real for maybe in this one.

SPEAKER_04 3:10

It is already nice to meet you. Pop up into the driver's seat while I have a last word to lead for you. As you can see, gentlemen, the minably has to bear no expense for this luxurious form of travel that you will be experiencing. In return, we expect your podcast to be sintulating, we expect your combinators to be mesmerizing, and your general behaviour to be exempt. Don't forget now, there is a lot of money riding on this gentleman. And if that money was to go to health instead of not, well, we may never speak to each other again. So long for now, fellas. And Mario, no, you cannot touch the bus steering wheel at any stage. Ta-ta.

SPEAKER_06 3:53

I didn't even ask if I could touch his steering wheel, mate.

SPEAKER_03 3:55

You were standing there for five minutes with your finger up in the air like you're in school with you, dumb bastard.

SPEAKER_06 4:00

Don't call me a dumb buster, mate. That's already the Pete. I don't know if I like Pete or any, mate. Is your papa dumb? What is that supposed to mean? Does he think my papa is dumb?

SPEAKER_07 4:08

Oh my lord. No Mario, just your mama. But all right, on board, boys. Let's see what this baby's got to offer and hit the road. What is their money involved all of a sudden? We've never had any money. Remember the E-word big salad.

SPEAKER_08 4:29

On the road again. Just can't wait to get on the road again. Why by lovers making music with my friends? I can't wait to get off the road again.

SPEAKER_01 4:43

I saw two big fat-naked bikers in the woods off 17 having sex.

SPEAKER_07 4:47

Hello, hello, hello, all you beataballers out there. I hope you are fighting fit, kicking his butt, and life is good because I'll tell you what, it's not too bad where we are, boys, is it? This bus is a city on wheels. I'm telling you what, it's not a bus. Bus isn't the right word for it. Instead said nirvana. It's nirvana on wheels.

SPEAKER_06 5:04

Oh great man, mate.

SPEAKER_07 5:06

Yeah they were, Maria, but missed the point completely. This has got like I've I've just seen a movie room. There's actually a sauna, a spa, uh, there's all sorts of stuff. Oh don't forget about the massage room up there, I can't wait. I've been told they're twins give a massages too.

SPEAKER_05 5:21

And they've got a wine cellar, a fan wine cellar. I can't believe it. This is sensational.

SPEAKER_07 5:27

It surely is, as we're on the road and we're heading down to Adelaide and we'll be making a few stops along the way. Uh we've just gone out of the city and we're here to talk to you today, ballers, about the Mum's Bum Cup. We've had a look at the teams and had a quick brief overview of them. Now we're gonna look at some of the players. We've got to keep it short and sweet. Big field this year, 45 runners in the Mum's Bum Cup, and we want to uh get through everyone and get through relatively quickly. We might not get it all done in one hit, but we certainly will have a look at each player as we go.

SPEAKER_05 5:54

That's gonna take ages. There's too much to do explore and see here. Come on, can't we make it a bit quicker?

SPEAKER_07 5:59

Well we'll make it quick because it's only a quick comment by a couple of people on each one, and we'll work out just who is the man to beat. And at the end of it, boys, I want your selections on who is going to win this year's Mum's Bum Cup, become the newest champion and legend of the BTB tour, and they will get their name on that green jacket. And with only a couple of years to the Beat the Ball 20 tour, which will be a massive anniversary tour, we have had one word hanging around in the air, haven't we, boys? I thought that was Mario. That should become our new safety word.

SPEAKER_06 6:29

Yeah, very funny fuckwits.

SPEAKER_07 6:31

Yeah, stop mucking around. Let's just get into it, get it over with so we can get up there. I might even get on the roof and grab a few rays. I'm sure you'll be up there with your tan, won't you, Ben?

SPEAKER_05 6:38

No, no, it's perfect as it is. I don't want too many cracks appearing on that fifth day.

SPEAKER_07 6:42

Expansion, I believe that's the word you were alluding to there, Ron. That is it indeed. The company around us, they are looking to expand. And with a couple of big things coming up in the beat the ball, could that be a word that was transferred over to the uh game itself?

SPEAKER_06 6:58

How many more players do they want, mate? Fair dick. I mean it's big enough as it is.

SPEAKER_07 7:02

No, I don't think we're talking about players here, Mario, necessarily. I think it's a nice size to be the ball, and I'm pretty sure Carnival is not looking to expand in number of players, but to fall in line with uh Bruce and the boys above, maybe he's looking to expand something else in you know a little bit down the track. But he's been expanding his wasteland for years. Not to mention the man boobs. Oh, it's a pylon, you're all just giving it to Carnival. Hey? That's un Australian, my friends, and don't you f forget it. You're all missing my point entirely. Uh it'll come to you eventually like a little light bulb going on above your heads. But for now, let's get into the Mums Bum Cup individual player ratings and thoughts going into the 17th running. But it's a bit of a late team, mate.

SPEAKER_05 7:42

We go through this every year, Mario.

SPEAKER_07 7:45

Covid. Don't you remember Covid?

SPEAKER_06 7:47

Was that like blockbuster?

SPEAKER_07 7:48

Oh, your memory's no good at all, Mario. No, so we didn't play one year. Oh, that's enough. Let's just get into it.

SPEAKER_04 7:54

Number four, Rubbo's pocket rocket.

SPEAKER_07 7:58

Wrangler. Here's a fun fact, fellas. Did you know that Robbo's pocket rocket has made the cut the last three years? I know that's uh it really astounded me when I read it, but he is not far away. He finished 15th last year, which isn't great. Seventh year before, fifteenth year before. So 15, 16, 17, that means he's in a sweet zone right now, and he's off a handicap of 50. He got two strokes back on last year, and he's at nine to one. That's pretty good odds to me, is it not? One of the tour originals, only one of a few that are here this season. Uh he's been gone for a long time. I tell you what, the crowd would love it if he did happen to don the green jacket. He's won the Punter of the Year twice. Uh but he I he it surprises me too, Ron, actually.

SPEAKER_05 8:38

That's he's over the odds at nine to one. No, he's not, he's nah happening hell. Fair ink him. He made the cut, what, once before that? Twice, maybe?

SPEAKER_06 8:46

He wore their yellow vest one year, mate, very well too, I might say. He'd look dashing as he got around and he ended up with about 47,000 drinks, but uh oh the cattle dogs don't see him as a major threat, mate.

SPEAKER_07 8:56

Well they might not see him as a major threat, but he has a chance. So I'm gonna put Robbo pretty high up in the ratings, my personal ratings. I I would not ride him off. The Wranglers may yet have a couple of players that they've not thought about too much that can help them get across the line in the Mums Bum Cup. If they got points for hair, Robbo get it, you know, he's always been a good looking fellow, a little bit squidgy around the edges these days, but uh that will help them. He'll look good in the team photos, put it that way.

SPEAKER_04 9:18

Number one hundred and seven. Erwin Geordie. King Brown.

SPEAKER_05 9:25

Number one hundred and seven. Jeez, we've had a lot of players in here over the years.

SPEAKER_07 9:30

That we have, and it's just growing, growing, growing. It's wonderful to see. 107 players have now been through the be the ball, and most of them have done one tour. Yeah, there are a few that hijacked numbers and seven never showed up the low buggers, but uh anyway, let's move on. Erwin Geordie. I don't know enough about his golf to comment uh on it. I haven't heard any whispers at all about Erwin except he might like a party with the King Browns. Well he's in that eight place, isn't he, if that's what he's gonna do, and let's be honest, off a handicap of fifteen. He's been a little bit spasmodic going in the other comps. He is very much uh a wonderful personality and team player. I have no doubt he's gonna love the tour, but I think I've got more chance of Shag and Sidney Sweeney than Erwin Geordie has of winning this thing first up.

SPEAKER_05 10:11

The Browns aren't counting on him winning the Mums Bum Cup, but what they are counting on is him being part of our team King Brown and really cheering on the other boys and helping out falling in and uh and just enjoying life, having a great time up there.

SPEAKER_07 10:22

I don't think there'll be much doubt he can do though, all those things, all those roles. Uh and let's be honest, the King Browns they they do go away and have a good time, damn good time. Well he's got a room that he's in as well.

SPEAKER_06 10:32

Uh Well that's nice. I know he's a big fan of the outdoors, but I'm pretty sure it's cold in Adelaide that time, and he would be prefer to be let into the room.

SPEAKER_07 10:40

Oh it's one hell of a room he's got in there. He's got uh Wyn Danielson here, he doesn't mind a good time, neither does next to Wynne Nathan, throw in Smitty Win, and and that room could uh start to go up against General Buckley's room every year as uh as one of the more, shall we say, entertaining rooms on tour. I'd almost say, I'd bet on it actually, that the winner of the Muns Bum Cup's not coming out of that room. Those boys, they'll be lucky to make both puzzles. So it's a no for uh Wynne Geordie, I think, from everyone here, not first year. Just go away and have a ball, big fella.

SPEAKER_04 11:06

Number 26, Comliter Ronsti Shooter.

SPEAKER_07 11:13

To the newer members of the tour, Ronnie has been around on tour for a long time. He's had a big hiatus sojourn out there in the central west of New South Wales, but he was the one who designed the original Crocs logo. It had a country Crocs rugby league jumper on her, holding a beer, holding a golf stick, hold it with a lovely hat, little golf hat, uh, and was fabulous. And Ronnie has threatened to come back on the tour for quite a few years now, and he's actually come back. But you know when his last tour was? Damn right, I do remember it like yesterday. The last trip to Adelaide, beat the ball 11. And he it was great to see Ronnie then, and then he basically told us all to piss off for the next six, seven years, and he's found his way back in this year, and I tell you what, he is a threat that nobody he's so far under the radar that uh he's underground. That's that's just the way it is, because he he hasn't played in front of anyone for years.

SPEAKER_06 11:56

Does he get a little bit self-conscious, does he, mate? Playing in front of other people.

SPEAKER_07 12:00

No golf I'm talking about, you dumb bastard.

SPEAKER_06 12:01

Stop calling me that, mate.

SPEAKER_05 12:03

Where does this come from today?

SPEAKER_07 12:04

Yeah, sorry, that's a bit rude, that's a bit cruel.

SPEAKER_05 12:06

Yeah, the truth hurts, but the reality is with Ronnie, he can play, but it's been so bloody long we're not even sure if uh he still hits it right-handed.

SPEAKER_07 12:13

Did he hit it right-handed before? I don't think he was a switch shooter. I think you mean switch hitter.

SPEAKER_06 12:17

Oh, I don't know about that, that's his own private life. I've always wanted to be a switch hitter, you know, I love baseball. Nobody likes baseball. The Americans do, and so do the Japanese, mate. They have a fierce rivalry.

SPEAKER_07 12:28

No shit, Sherlock. You ever heard of World War II? Getting back to Ronnie, he's off a handicap of 34 and he's a 20 to 1. Will you be plonking any of your hard-earned dollars down on there? We don't get paid.

SPEAKER_05 12:39

No, we don't, but thankfully I made a lottery as being a doyen many years ago.

SPEAKER_07 12:43

No, you won't be getting any of mine, I'm happy to look on. You're a tight ass Scotsman. Who are you talking about? Nobody's getting any of your dollars. That is not true at all. I do have a couple of quiet bets I will be policing with the tour bookies. Alright, so Ronnie, uh, great to have you back on tour, mate. We're looking forward to you and Harry being uh with us and uh just having fun, but the boys here aren't giving you a lot of hope. I'm not so sure. I think Ronnie might be a bit of a dark horse in this whole thing. He could have been out there practicing for the last seven years, just waiting for this opportunity. Well, if that's the case and he's choosing to unleash this year, all power to him. Go, Ronnie.

SPEAKER_06 13:18

He can't be late for the bus, no?

SPEAKER_07 13:19

I'm sure Harry will be there early.

SPEAKER_06 13:21

Number 78. Ontrendwares.

SPEAKER_07 13:25

Cattle dog. Here's yet another surprise, boys. Ontrend Wears has made the cut three out of the last four years, including that epic yellow jacket wearing marathon in Sydney and Beat the Ball 14. He was the best dressed yellow jacket wearer we've ever had, and it's not even close. I'll second that for sure, and certainly sat there like James Bond, back there with about forty-seven different diff different drinks in front of him, and he saw every one of them through. Not one of them did not pass his lips, and it was one of the greatest efforts you've ever seen.

SPEAKER_06 13:53

Until the cold air hit him, and then he collapsed like a bag of shit, mate. But it was a fantastic effort from a month and dues.

SPEAKER_05 14:00

And it was no no doubt the reason why he folded like a deck of cards on the Sunday in the Mum's Bum Cup that year, but he has been thereabouts.

SPEAKER_07 14:08

That he has, and I am really surprised with that, and I think it's a fabulous form guide, and I can't believe that he he might be the odds that he is. He finished twelfth last year, ninth the year before, and the year that he did wear the jacket, he finished thirteenth, I believe it was. Uh, so it wasn't a bad effort considering he had to drink, you know, if he hadn't been pulled over and blew in the bag, they would have just arrested him for even attempting to do what he was doing. Uh he was that far over the limit. Uh looking at the odds board and where he is at as far as his handicap is concerned, and he's 37 last year, out to 39 sitting at eights. That's tremendous value. I I've I've found a couple already. Eight to one for him, nine to one for Albo's pocket rocket. I think Wes could do it. Is there any reason why he could not win in your eyes? Oh, it's got to be the bum part. Definitely. You know, the last time he turned up, he turned up with a new hairdo and he's done a bum part. And it's just gone completely away from the type of guy he is and the uh aura and persona.

SPEAKER_05 15:00

He's the shadow he throws over the rest of the group. I've got to say, yeah, he's always uh remained a carnival for one, as Chuck Norris, you know. He is doesn't he just stands on the T, throws his ball and T onto the ground and says, ball, get on the T. And it does it. Uh but the bum part did definitely soften things a little, and he had to start putting the ball on the T in the ground himself.

SPEAKER_07 15:20

Well, I think he's a great chance, and I think the Catalogs will be looking to him uh because they are short, as we know, a few numbers, boys that are on low handicaps and and a long, long lodge chances to win it. And the bookies have kept them way too tight, in my opinion, but that's a secondary thing, and we'll talk about that later on, I'm sure. Shit, can I forgot to take a breath? But I think I'm gonna throw Wes into my pool of players. I should be plonking on. Hey, it all makes sense, doesn't it? You look at it, and he's one that is a small kid, no doubt about it. He he rarely gets talked about, and up there tucked away on the sunshine coast.

SPEAKER_06 15:48

True cattle dog country, mate.

SPEAKER_07 15:50

Well, he could be there practicing as well, playing all the time, heading down the driving range. You wouldn't know. So eight to one, you'd almost be inclined to think I'll have a wee ten or twenty dollar bill on this man. I think that's it. I I think we all give him a chance. So uh and I think the cattle dogs, I think Lonroe Leber has kept this one very close to his heart and and up his sleeve and in his back pocket and uh under his crotch. And uh No need to bring me into this. We're giving the cattle dog the big thumbs up. Go, Wes.

SPEAKER_06 16:17

It was sad to see the Chuck Norris passed away not long ago, you know. He had a bit of a long illness, apparently.

SPEAKER_07 16:22

I heard it's about the same time the Wes started parting his hair in the middle. So, you know, maybe that had a little to do with it, who would know? So you're saying if a butterfly flaps its wings around the other side of the world. Yeah, the butterfly effect. That's what's happened here, Wes with Chuck, because we all know they're very similar sort of fellas.

SPEAKER_05 16:38

No, they're not, they don't look anything alike. Chuck was a ginger for starters. And what's wrong with gingers? And was he an optional ginger? You know, I've always thought he was more strawberry blonde, Chuck. But Wes looks nothing like that. He's a darker, more handsome star. What hair do you reckon he'll turn up with this year? I don't know, but if I was him, I'd be on the phone to Wok. Uh I mean one of the things we're gonna miss this year is Warwick Farm Fella not being on tour, and uh the bookies have had to suspend that market, you know?

SPEAKER_06 17:01

What market was that one, mate? What are you talking about?

SPEAKER_07 17:03

Oh, it's the market they have every year on what to colour hair Walk's gonna turn up with. Uh we'll have to uh get a FaceTime from London or something to see.

SPEAKER_06 17:10

Oh, I love that Bondi Blonde years ago, mate. That looked I thought he looked sensational.

SPEAKER_07 17:15

One last thing with Wes is uh we have a special announcement. He is a huge supporter of the Be the Ball tour, and uh he'll be mentioned again in later dispatches as we head into the tour. Uh, but right now we're all saying, Go Wes, you're a big chance at winning this year's Mum's Bum Cup. Did you just say go west? No, no, I said go Wes. Life is peaceful there. Go Wes. Oh, Wes. Young man.

SPEAKER_04 17:36

Number 96. Big Win Neil. Gro.

SPEAKER_07 17:42

Looking at Big Win Neil, he's making his third tour now with the beat the ball, and uh he's been playing by injury the last few years, and I believe that uh his back has played up, but uh that's now not an issue because uh Mr. Miyagi Mikabee McKenna is going to be slapping those hands together and giving Neil a good rub down before he goes out on the paddock on that first morning on the Friday of the Mum's Bum Cup tour. Now last year he's finished with his first round where he missed the cut. He's missed the cut mostly both years, let's be honest. But the first year he was off 15, had 117 net, uh, so that's 132 um basically 84, uh missed the cut last year. But he's come in all those shots uh last year compared to the year before, and he moves out again with his handicap this year. And I wouldn't be thinking he's a much better golfer than his scores have projected so far. Yeah, I don't know about that really, let's be honest. 45 out to 48. He's 15 to 1 pop. I do like the money there. I think the bookies aren't far off with that one. Uh nice and uh juicy. You'd almost get into him, and he's he is out. There's a lot of players around that 45 to 55 mark this year, and I wouldn't be surprised if they were in one, two, three somewhere, but I I don't know if Big Win Neil's gonna be there. Well, it was his back injuries uh well, he's on doing, let's be honest. You know, he's had that side hustle for many years now as a belly dancer out in the western suburbs of Sydney, doing a lot of uh, you know, christenings, bar mitzvah's birthdays, that sort of stuff. He can really get those hips going when he wants to, Neil. And uh I found that this year he seems to be moving a lot better, you know. So I I think he could be a big improver, one of the improvers, but I'm not sure if I'm gonna be throwing the cash on him.

SPEAKER_06 19:17

Neil's good, mate. I like Neil a lot. I tell you what, he loves this Saturday nights on tour, the the three day, mate. He goes hard, you know, and you can see wha when he hits the moves, he he starts to drive to the music, mate, and those hips start to naturally orbit. Uh it's orbiting his hip, uh something else in his lips, uh you two song I'm thinking of right there, but uh Neil, he can m throw it about and no worries about that.

SPEAKER_05 19:38

The question in my mind is whether he can do it for two days, but that's two days uh over the weekend. Uh I I think he him he's a smokey, and now it's sad to meet the cat. I think he's in definitely in with a chance this year of making that cut, and uh I don't know whether he can don the green jacket just yet.

SPEAKER_07 19:54

Well I think he uh he's what he's a pretty good stable there. The the crocs aren't looking too bad in the golf this year, probably not quite as good as a couple of others. King Browns in particular are looking strong as other shooters. Uh but I'm not writing Neil off. One thing's for sure, he'll have a damn good weekend and be damn good company to be around. But Mum's Mum Cup, I think we're all sort of fading him out this year as a big chance. But we're doing so at our own peril.

SPEAKER_06 20:16

Does Mikabee give a lot of rub downs to the Crocs?

SPEAKER_07 20:19

Well, he has been known to uh rub the whole team down uh before a big round of golf in the Mum's Mum Cup. Uh he's also been known to rub them up the wrong way, too, and that's uh ruined a couple of their chances over the years.

SPEAKER_06 20:30

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_07 20:30

Yeah, the year he won, though, he rubbed himself right up the right way that year, and it was fabulous to see him win. That season was a happy ending for Magic Hands, Mikabi.

SPEAKER_04 20:39

Beautiful golf huts that just flip it like a pancake.

SPEAKER_07 20:42

Number 29, Barnesy's boy Dave Shooter. Off a handicap of 60 and odds of 20 to 1, one of the tour's great characters and a longtime servant of the BTB, Barnesy's boy Dave. He's the next flower up on the mat we're gonna have a look at. And do we think uh the 60 is right for his handicap boys? Oh, no way in the world. He needs twice that, maybe three times that. He could be the first ever golfer off 180 and he'd still find a way to walk off and have more than that. Uh it's just crazy. He hates hates everything except Ambrose. He loves Ambrose.

SPEAKER_06 21:16

I've never met Ambrose, is he a nice fella? I used to live next door to a boy called Ambrose, but he had headlights.

SPEAKER_07 21:22

No, I don't think it's the same guy. Ambrose is a golfing event, and I'm pretty sure it was around hundreds of years before your mates with the nits. So uh I don't think Hambo really gives a shit. He just does not want to do anything but socialise, have a good time. He's a sneaky good photographer, you know. Uh the last few years he's sort of taken on that role that Glenn used to look after us with taking tall photos. Carnival takes a few when he can, but Barnes' boy Dave, that you know, he does a great job there. Uh and rumour has it that he's been doing it for a long time. He actually has a a photo of uh from somewhere behind a grassy knoll and uh he's never let it see the light of day. Yeah, I know, there's apparently ground Stone Graham was in it on the other end. Really? My goodness. I no, I d I think you've misunderstood what I mean. Well, I'm sure there's a few people in the the US of Air who would like to look at that for tour, um, but it's not going anywhere. No, it's under lock and key.

SPEAKER_05 22:12

Barnes' boy Dave, what sort of name's that? What was Carnival thinking? That's just terrible.

SPEAKER_07 22:18

Well, actually, it's quite clever if you have a look at it, thank you, Ben. And I'm gonna go out on a limb here for the number one badge holder and just say that Dave got that name because Jimmy Barnes's son's name was Dave Campbell and Dave Campbell is in the tour.

SPEAKER_05 22:31

Jimmy Barnes's son is on the tour, why doesn't he play for us instead of listening to those lousy playlists? They're not lousy playlists. I quite enjoy them. We have a lot of good singing alongs there. Yeah, but if we've got an Australian rock and roll legend's son here. Well, Dave Campbell doesn't sing the same sort of songs, he's more a stead singer, if you know what I mean. I've never heard Campbell sing. I'm gonna ask him to this talk.

SPEAKER_07 22:53

No, you've you've stuffed it right up.

SPEAKER_06 22:55

Yeah, mate, you call me dumb bastards. Look at all you guys here. His name is the same, but he cannot sing, Dave Campbell. Not the Dave Campbell we've got the other Dave Campbell Jimmy's got. He can sing.

SPEAKER_05 23:06

Yeah, I'm completely and utterly confused now. Blow it out your ass. I don't care if he sings or not.

SPEAKER_07 23:11

He won't be singing unless he wants to get up and sing. There will be a microphone there on that first night. So if he wants the particular song, because who can ever forget Crying Out Loud's rendition, a few years ago back in Sydney, uh when he was walking in Memphis. No, that was it brought tear it's bringing a tear to my eye now, just thinking about how emotional that was. He he knew that down pat. He's a karaoke king up there in Coff's Harbour, no doubt about it, Crusaders. Very good mate of Bunzy Boys Daves too, I believe. I'm just gonna stick to that name from now on. Yes, he is. Back to the golf, Mum's Mum Cup. Uh do we have anyone who thinks that Cambo will make the cut? No, I think I speak for everyone here, nor he actually paired carnival off a few years ago to uh avoid the cut when he finished 16th, remember that?

SPEAKER_05 23:51

And it was Chris went in there for him, crying out loud, walking in Memphis. Now you're tearing me out.

SPEAKER_07 23:56

Alright, no hope, Barnsy, but we can't wait to see you there and take some bloody good photos, big boy.

SPEAKER_05 24:00

You know, I followed his grip last year and he actually got a par, Dave did, and he walked off and someone said, What are you getting? He said, Hey, a reverse cheater. I like the sound of that.

SPEAKER_06 24:08

Not cheating, mate, you know this. You're not come back on the toilet for your cheat.

SPEAKER_07 24:12

But he's a reverse cheating. He's actually giving everyone else more of a hook.

SPEAKER_05 24:16

One less competitor for the green jacket.

SPEAKER_04 24:18

Number ninety.

SPEAKER_07 24:20

Tank rider J's Kim Brown. This man came from nowhere really last year, and he finished sixth after missing the cut on his previous couple, and he's out another shot this season out to 40. So he's got to be a chance on that form alone before we even get into uh the depth of the field, and we've got the odds here for him as well. And I'll tell you what, at six to one, I think he might be a fraction unders, but if he can replicate that form from last year, boys, tank rider Jace is a major threat. Yeah, he was in the final group last year. He's had a rough year health wise, I think, tank rider. Uh, all our best to you, big fella. We're looking forward to seeing you on tour. Uh maybe that's disrupted his plan, but uh he sort of, as you said, came from nowhere. Nobody had really given him a big chance, but this year there'll be plenty of eyes on him, don't worry about that. Why not, mate?

SPEAKER_06 25:08

He's a scary man. I keep my eye on him too. You see, he always looks angry. You know who he reminds me of, mate? He reminds me a little bit of Bong Crusher Brad. Because even when he's happy, he doesn't look happy. Uh, which throws me out because you know, I am a very happy, gentle type of soul.

SPEAKER_05 25:22

You're a weakling, that's what you are, Mario. A dead set weakling. I forgot your name there for a second. That's how weak you are. Weak as water. I was gonna say piss, but I said water.

SPEAKER_06 25:31

What that's terrible, mate. Everybody's been very mean to me today. And I don't like this. And I'm telling you, I'll get those cattle dogs on to you, I'm gonna tell Leber on you.

SPEAKER_05 25:39

Yeah, tell Leber. Lebra will just throw his arms around all of us, give us a big hug, and we'll all be fine. But anyway, getting back to Tank Rider Jace, he's one of the King Brown's main hopes, thank you very much. So you can all get stuffed if you're gonna death raid him. I'm not gonna death raid the big band. I think dead set moral to be in that top three. Love him with Frogman Grant saving private uh Nadzy. Well, he'll be looking on this year, but no doubt he'll be cheering on the boys and launching those big booms. But Tank Rider Jace for me, get on at the sixes because I wouldn't be surprised if he rolls in a point or two by the time we get there.

SPEAKER_07 26:10

He's also a key sponsor of the tour. You know that tank rider has sponsored this tour every year he's been here, triple A Racing, and they've had a bit of a victory over the year, the boys. They've picked up some good nags, and uh it hasn't helped them in some of the events, but the tipping and whatever, he had a bit of a flat year with that, but as we said, it was disrupted uh in a few ways. Uh so thank you for that, Tank Rider, very much, and triple A Racing. Sandy, what do you think down there? You keeping quiet on this one? I I think he is a dead set chance. I watched him last year, followed his group in that final round for a few hauls. And I I told you, he you can't rate him off. I I'd back him to meet the cut. If they had a f uh a marker on Meek and the Cut, I'm dead set backing him. But uh, I think he's a big chance, and I think the King brands are eight to be thinking that he could lead them to back-to-back premierships this year. Does he ever give out horse tips, Tank Rider? I haven't seen any horse tips. How hard is it to spot a horse? I just saw one on the side of the road, actually. We're in coming into horse country at the moment, looking out that window. Uh yeah, I know, but I I mean good tips, like really, you know, stuck wink wink nudge nudge, get on now and build a new house, sort of tips.

SPEAKER_05 27:12

Nobody gives them anymore. You'd be crazy to you. You've seen Strength and Johnna, haven't you? Did you see his thing run around last weekend? Oh yeah, it accelerated backwards very quickly that last 200. It looked sensational to start before. The the class of horse above it was just a little bit much. Speaking of strength and journer.

SPEAKER_04 27:28

Number 76, Strength and Johnner.

SPEAKER_07 27:33

Crock. Our mum's bum cup favourite for this season, and with good reason, three top four finishes in the last three years. He is out another point, and we've talked about this a little in the teams, especially. He is expected to be the chief threat for the Crocs, and uh he will be looking to get his name on that green jacket. He is uh desperate to do so. You don't do what he's done the last three years without wanting to win it. Now, looking at the odds for Strength and Johnna, I don't believe there's been too many market moves yet. Three to one, very short, especially in a field of 45. Uh he's out the one shot to 35. So you'd think he's a dead set moral to make the cut. He's only got to live up to probably three quarters of that form of the last few years. And I, for one, can't see him being beat. He will be on top for me, Strength and Johnna. All others running into the placings. It's really that simple. Oh, I think you're still talking out of your ass, Sunshine. B. Please, please. Three to one, strength and johnner. Yeah, he's finished three, three years in a row. He's finished in the top four, but he hasn't won. You know, is he a non-winner? That's the question I'm asking, and that's what the question the shooters got on a big whiteboard, actually. Benzabe put it up there. Janie and S. S and J, sorry. Always been a bit a little bit dyslexic for a lot of my life. S and J non winner. That's what he's put on the board. And that's what we all look at the shooters. We don't think he can get over the line. We f think he finds a way to stumble.

SPEAKER_06 28:52

Well, a few years ago, man, it was Tango Tom. He flew home with 91 off the stick. He was off a handicap of about a thousand or so. Very emotional victory. And uh it was a good win, so yeah, he got rolled there. Nazi rolled him last year. And so who won their mum's bum cup the year before? Can somebody please tell me I'm having a blank mental Yeah, said it, yeah Ningong.

SPEAKER_07 29:12

It was Tango Tom.

SPEAKER_06 29:13

Oh, it must have been the year before that. The years are flying by so very fast, you know.

SPEAKER_07 29:17

Well you should remember, Mario, there were catalogues, a couple of them.

SPEAKER_05 29:20

Yeah, I'll give you a tip. It was a dead heat.

SPEAKER_06 29:22

Oh yeah, Craig's the Andy's doing devastating Dave. That was one wild Sunday, I tell you what.

SPEAKER_07 29:27

Yeah, it was no doubt about that. That was a year that might empower Matt led by eight overnight, and I think he finished sixth or seventh. Uh Cairns and he have never really got on and been up there twice. We're up there again very shortly, boys, but we're getting off task here. Strength and Johnnah, I've got him on top. Sandy, where do you think he's gonna finish? I'd have him in the bo top eight. I think he'll meet the cut, yeah. I know I'm tipping him to not even make the cut. We might send a couple of henchmen out there to knobble him on the eighth or something. But uh and especially if he gets up those shenanigans and hijinks.

SPEAKER_05 29:54

Yeah, I agree entirely with you, Laurie, which is really rare indeed. Uh what about his rubbishity, the rubbish on the face? If he was playing Rugby League, that's what he'd be booked with. That uh Nadsey, thank goodness Nadsey won that green jacket because the torment and hurt that he has piled on that man is ridiculous.

SPEAKER_06 30:11

And don't forget about Craigsey, mate. He takes put shots at Craigsey all the time. You know, the big fella, he may look tall, which he is, and he may look like he has long hair, which he does, but he has a really small heart.

SPEAKER_07 30:24

I think you mean good heart.

SPEAKER_06 30:26

Yes, he's a really good heart, there's no doubt about it. He's been to the doctor and he says, that is a really strong good heart.

SPEAKER_07 30:31

No, I think you're missing my point. It's a big heart.

SPEAKER_06 30:34

He's got to be Yeah, he is, but he's very sensitive, Craig's he, you know. And uh you know, he sometimes the strength in Jonar, he just gets a little bit rough in the playground.

SPEAKER_07 30:43

Well he does like they do. I I don't know, there's a secret romance there in my books. I I think there's a real love hate, you know, uh there's a something more to it than that with those two.

SPEAKER_06 30:52

Yeah, he always says to him, you cannot put on a place.

SPEAKER_07 30:55

Yeah, he does, and let's be honest, you can dollar four, dollar eight, dollar twelve. It does get a little bit ominous, uh especially when one of them doesn't even run a place. But uh and I'm I'm not sticking the boot into Craigs.

SPEAKER_06 31:04

Yes you are, mate, that's exactly what you're doing.

SPEAKER_07 31:06

Okay, a little bit with his punting. But strength and johnna, do you think Craigsey would ever, you know, come back and do something to Strength and Johnna, or for that matter, a sniper attack from Nazi somewhere over the grassy knoll with Dave in the background taking a photo. It'd be quite the shenanigans, wouldn't it, going on there? There's a little bit of a triangle happening there, isn't there? Nanzy and Craigsy and Strength and Johnna. Will it be enough to stop him winning? Well, I don't know. Maybe it's a mental hurdle strength and johnna's gotta get over.

SPEAKER_06 31:30

Yeah, mate, it's mental alright. He is mentally in unstable, instable, instable, unstable. I don't care what stable he's under or in, he's mentally fragile.

SPEAKER_07 31:39

You just said the same thing about Craigs.

SPEAKER_06 31:41

Well, maybe that's why they like each other so much, but don't like each other so much.

SPEAKER_07 31:44

Alright, Strength and Johnna, big chance, worthy favourite in the Crocs opinion, and as you know, I'm a Crocs man to my bootstraps. Uh so yeah, good thing and uh big chance at taking out the Mum's Bum Cup this season. He doesn't seem to have been overseas nearly as much this past twelve months either. I think he wants his pad. He wants a really bad.

SPEAKER_00 32:02

Did you find your bar yet? Yeah, I found it.

SPEAKER_07 32:05

I'm just roaming around in here because I like poison AV, you busy Sounds like something Nadsey could have been saying after the Hand of Don tour and that par four hole, the infamous par four hole. Uh before we go, I believe there's been an update on a couple of shooters that look like they were in uh danger of missing the tour through the fact that they made no travel arrangements and were looking to see how they were gonna solve this before they missed this tour and perhaps more. You got an update for us, Laurie? Yeah, I have. We've we've sent through some footage earlier, and it looks like the boys might be okay, which will be a huge sigh of relief for Skipper Benzabear and the rest of us associated with the shooters. Uh, I might just play the footage now for everyone.

SPEAKER_00 32:59

Got room for one more if you still want to go to ask. Where did you find that? Some kid back in town traded the van for it straight up. I can get 70 miles to the gallon on this hog.

SPEAKER_01 33:08

You know, Lloyd, just when I think you couldn't possibly be any dumber, you go and do something like this. And totally redeem yourself!

SPEAKER_00 33:21

Still wanna go to Aspen? Oh yeah! Okay, let's go, buddy!

SPEAKER_07 33:29

Oh, that's a relief. There's Major Mortar and Josh and DeSargent. Looks like they found a way to get over to Adelaide. I don't know why they kept calling it Aspen and uh each other different names must be pet names for each other. Uh but the two of them are on their way, and I believe we may even pass them at one stage in the bus. Who knows? But uh they uh look like they're good things to get there now. Well that's a relief I'm sure for a lot of people, and uh Carnival would be happy to hear that.

SPEAKER_06 33:50

It hasn't been confirmed yet, mate, but there's no confirmation to that.

SPEAKER_07 33:53

How did you like that, Mario here? You wonder why we've been calling you dumb all day. It's been a joke because we know your favourite movie is.

SPEAKER_05 34:00

Dumb and dumb. So we thought we'd tear it in as a bit of a theme for the day.

SPEAKER_06 34:05

Oh, you boys are jokers! I knew you didn't hate me, I knew you loved me, did you?

SPEAKER_05 34:10

I wouldn't go that far, Mario.

SPEAKER_06 34:12

Okay, you like me a lot. Eh. Alright, we like each other a bit.

SPEAKER_07 34:16

That's more like it, I think, Mario. Alright, that's it for today, beat the ballers. We'll be back tomorrow with our next episode of uh Pod Boffin's Daily in the run up to the BTB eighteen Mum's Bum Cup. Have an enjoyable evening, and we'll be back again soon.

SPEAKER_04 34:29

Wherever you are, whatever you're doing, be the ball. Time to go home there, ball. Son of a bitch, ball. Why didn't you just go home? That's your home! Are you too good for your home? Answer me!

SPEAKER_00 34:47

Suck my white ass ball!

SPEAKER_08 34:50

On the road again.
