Transcript

SPEAKER_02 0:03

Look, there's lever mate. The preacher has got him up front. My god, what's he throw? He's just throwing a snake on him, mate. A big snake. Lebra's on the floor. He's wrestling with a snake.

SPEAKER_03 0:13

Settle down, Mario. This is just a test of his faith to see that he is fully entwined with the spirit of the cattle dogs, and if he can fight this snake off, he wins.

SPEAKER_02 0:24

Oh my lord, that snake is a big snake, mate. He looks like a big King Brown snake. It's raping. I don't know if Leber's gonna win this one, mate. He's as if he's just slapped the snake twice across the face and the snake has gone to sleep. Leber is standing back up, mate. He's just shimmying out of the snake and has wrapped himself around him. Leber now, he is arms in the air, you can hear the boys clapping and hailing, oh how the good is that.

SPEAKER_03 0:47

Well that is why we're back here, Mario, for safety. They don't call him f Lenro Leber, Captain Extraordinaire for nothing.

SPEAKER_02 0:53

I love you, Leber, that was amazing. That's devastating Dave now. What's he doing, mate?

SPEAKER_03 0:58

I believe he is now launching into Oh yes, that's it. He is lifting up two of his teammates, one in each arm, as they record it to show the strength of the cattle dogs. He loves a good workout, Diva Dave, and I tell you what, he is working those two over big time.

SPEAKER_02 1:13

He's got Baldur and Bent in one hand and Tango Tom in the other, and he's lifting them like dumbbells, mate. He is very strong.

SPEAKER_03 1:19

I reckon those two boys aren't light. Oh, they're giving each other high fives, so Dave is just Oh, the brains are gonna pop in his head, mate, in his neck.

SPEAKER_02 1:26

He's starting to wobble. He's st oh my goodness, they've fallen off and they've gone into a crashing hipper, mate.

SPEAKER_03 1:31

Yes, that was unfortunate, but uh Dave's bounced back to his feet. It looks like Tango and Ballroom are both in the fetal position. Are they spooning?

SPEAKER_02 1:39

It doesn't look like that, mate. It's I don't know if they're unconscious, but they are spooning, I believe.

SPEAKER_03 1:44

Well it is the catalogs and these uh things that you go through as a team, bonding, I suppose.

SPEAKER_02 1:48

Bonding, mate? My god, I what by jeez.

SPEAKER_03 1:51

Yep, uh they just split them up, thankfully for that. Uh this is uh her uh house of God. I'm a bit stumbling on my words here right now, Mario. Oh, I must admit I haven't seen anything like this for quite a while.

SPEAKER_02 2:03

Is that their rookie Dukesro Daniel? He's on his knees now in front of their preacher, and London O'Lebba's here too, and he's got a fire hose by the look of it.

SPEAKER_03 2:11

Yes, I believe this is the baptismal ritual of coming into the cattle dogs and they are bringing Dukesro Daniel into the fold.

SPEAKER_02 2:19

My god, look at that. He's just hitting full blast in the chest with that, mate. That fire hose is oh my god, he's got three pews, four pews. He's back, there's water everywhere, mate. And the preacher he's just singing Oh happy days. Oh, what's so good? I think they're gonna drown the poor bugger.

SPEAKER_03 2:33

No, no, they've stopped now, Mario. They've got Bald Rim Ben and Tango Tom to go and get him. Bring him back. Uh they've carried him back, and the priest preacher, sorry, has given his blessing. And Dukesrow is now a cattle dog.

SPEAKER_02 2:45

I think I could hear their woof woof made like he was drowning a little bit, you know? But that's good, Dukesrow, Daniel, he's now in the cattle dog fold. That is what we wanted. Now they've got on trend Wes up there. He is naked from there. He's taken his shirt off, so he's got his pants, but he's got nothing on. Oh my lord, what are they putting on him, Bruce?

SPEAKER_03 3:02

I believe they are called shooterville scorpions, some of the most poisonous in the universe, and they are now placing them on his body.

SPEAKER_02 3:11

My gosh, mate, how many are they gonna put on his body? That's ten, eleven. His whole skin is covered in these scorpions, mate. But on trend wiz, he's just standing there, mate.

SPEAKER_03 3:21

Oh yes, this is a real test of calmness and patience under pressure, and I think Chuck's got it. He's uh oh my lord, he's just ripping the head off one of them, and he has now ordered the others to get off him, and they all just dropped off him. He is a free, on trendwiz. Oh, our Chuck, how we love our Chuck, that's uh that's gutsy stuff. The boys are in raptures.

SPEAKER_02 3:39

You're not wrong, they're they're just covering their mouths. They just can't believe the miracle they just happened, and the preacher, he's still dancing, mate. He's loving it. Now Leber has just gone and got a golf stick, and he has got a a ball and a tea, and they've made Grunt and Growan lay down on his back in front of the altar. He's laying there now, they put the tea in his mouth, the golf ball on it. Oh my lord, Leber's gonna hit the ball off Grunt and Groan's mouth.

SPEAKER_03 4:04

Yes, this is yet another test the cattle dogs put each other through just to earn that mental toughness, resilience and belief.

SPEAKER_02 4:11

Mate, but Leber hasn't hit a decent wood in years. He really should take the five iron, I think.

SPEAKER_03 4:15

I don't know that there's a choice.

SPEAKER_02 4:17

Oh he's into the back swing. He's come to Oh no. Oh my goodness. He has topped their bone and it has gone straight off the tea that is in the mouth of Grunt and Groan, and I think it's hit him right in the jet's crackers, mate. He is uh writhing around in agony, and he is grabbing hold of he's not letting go. Oh is it Tango Tom trying to spoon him as well?

SPEAKER_03 4:38

Oh this is uh obviously a ritual that only the cattle dogs know about.

SPEAKER_02 4:41

Oh somebody's just got him ballberry middle's just gone and got Tango Tom and dragged him away. Give him a stone talking to. Oh no, Grunton, he's back up now, he's sucking him in, and there's a tears I can see coming down his eyes. He's okay, but well done, Grunton. Good stuff, mate. Well, this is taking it out of me, and I'm only watching, mate. Well, we know Craig's he's not gonna be here, he's out frolicking. So uh let us leave the Girias stuff and what are they gonna do to him? Oh Leber has walked up, he's extended his arms and brought him into a nice big hug. He's hugging him tightly, his hands are around him, and uh yeah, Leber's just he's not letting go, you know. Leber's not letting go. Gideus looks like he's struggling to breathe a little bit here.

SPEAKER_03 5:21

This is the prodigal son manoeuvre. Uh he was a shooter. He came back into the tour after two years in the wilderness, as we know, and this is the cattle dog bear hug. Welcome.

SPEAKER_02 5:30

Oh they're all moving in now, they're all grabbing hands and hugging, and their arms around each other in a tight circle. Yes they are, it's a big grip hug, mate.

SPEAKER_06 5:38

They grip hugging, and now they're all singing Oh happy days Oh happy days Oh happy days Yes, yes, Mario, they are making good they look primed for a tilt at the premiership of Mum's Bum Cum Congratulations, I saw that hole in one for part four.

SPEAKER_05 6:18

That's gotta be some kind of record, huh?

SPEAKER_04 6:20

Hello, hello, hello, be the ballers out there. Ho ho, two weeks, two weeks time, fellas. This time in two weeks, we'll be in downtown Adelaide, having arrived, ready for our big Thursday night intro into the entire weekend. I can't wait. It's the butterflies are big now, the boys are starting to come out too. There's getting messages everywhere. Carnival's been inundated, it's fantastic. The boys are up and about, it's on like Donkey Kong. Yeah, mate, that what was that at the start, mate? Oh, that was last year, the old harp into the memories from last year when you went to visit with Bruiser. Or I shouldn't call him that, Bruce. Uh, you went to visit Cattledog Country. And and that was just a little excerpt to remind us of uh some of the things that go down or happen in Cattle Dog Country because we have Timmy Romudekis coming in a little bit later today to talk about how they're preparing and how they're looking uh as a team going into the THC Premiership Mum's Mum Cup weekend.

SPEAKER_01 7:13

Was that Cat Stevens? I detected at the front chew.

SPEAKER_03 7:16

Yeah, it was indeed. It was Cat Stevens his first ever song talking about his dog, and he loved his dog a little too much for my liking. But I'm sure it fits in with the theme.

SPEAKER_04 7:26

Of course it does. Cattle dogs, that's what today is about, uh, as far as Timmy Romiticis, who we've already mentioned. Uh so that just fit in nicely. Yeah, but I couldn't help notice a little cheeky dig there too, the happy girl mortarities and the holding one on par four. Correct me if I'm wrong here, Ronald. But uh wasn't this the year the hand of Don took place the last time we were in Adelaide by the Ball 11? I do believe it was, and uh, as we all know, Manscaper Nads thought he had a holding one on a par four at uh they were getting they were having street parades in Dubbo, the whole world was going nuts. Apparently there was only about two people on the entire planet who's ever done it. Nadsey thought he was gonna be the third. Uh it didn't happen that way. Things got out of hand and uh it went for way longer than it should have, and we all know at the end of it, Don copped the blame. He copped it in the neck and he's never been seen before.

SPEAKER_02 8:14

No, mate, Bruce has said that uh Don is missing, but he knows where he is. He's not in hiding as such, I don't believe Don, but uh I don't think we're gonna see Don back again.

SPEAKER_04 8:24

Well I don't know. You never say never, but uh Don has been conspicuously quiet since that weekend, but we all know that the mastermind behind that was none other than Strength and Jonna. And guess what groups are running back to back this coming weekend? Oh it's delicious, isn't it?

SPEAKER_00 8:38

We've got Nazi. His group is up in front of Strength and Johnna's. Well, is there a little bit of peabacks coming? Oh peabac a bitch, isn't it?

SPEAKER_01 8:47

But you just can't help but think what has he got in store. I dare say Strength and Johnna will be playing his round with a uh pair of ten fours hanging around his neck, binoculars, so we can uh keep a close eye on what's happening up in front.

SPEAKER_04 9:00

Well they're not playing the same courses, so uh the last time there was a little par four with a bend to the right, and it meant that you could drive the green, uh, which for the bigger hitters, which Nad's is, uh and you were also out of sight uh till you got around the corner and saw your saw the green, saw your ball, tried to find it. They walked around for ages, the four of them looking for it everywhere. Meanwhile, up on the tee, ready to tee off going backwards was Strength and Johnna, Nickabee Rising, Robbo's Pocket Rocket, and and Don, of course. And uh they were all watching and pissing themselves laughing as these boys look for the ball. Then they found it in the hole and celebrated like they'd won Lotto, jumping around, hugging, kissing, high fiving, singing, you name it. They're four did it because Nans had just hit a hole in one on a par four.

SPEAKER_01 9:41

And but he hadn't. Ha ha ha. I shouldn't laugh, it's King Brown. It's an awful thing to do to a King Brown. I can't believe this trans and John o do it. Oh, those crocs are stoop to anything, mate.

SPEAKER_02 9:51

Us the King Browns again on the weekend. They are the rivalry between these two is growing. We have the Hendredon, and then on the weekend we had Joshabia Metro Matt with Joshua B. Shota. This is turning into a great rivalry, crocs and King Browns.

SPEAKER_04 10:04

That it is, Mario. Well put together. I hadn't thought of that so much. Uh yeah, so Nancy up in front. All eyes will be on that group. Uh I believe it's group six, maybe, in front of group seven, strength and journals. Who knows what stories are gonna come out of this tour to Adelaide?

SPEAKER_05 10:19

Are you ready to get down to business and do exactly what I tell you to do? Believe me, I'm ready. Then let's get to work, alright?

SPEAKER_03 10:28

Mum's Bum Cup. Day one groups. Number ninety-five, Water Tank Matt Wrangler.

SPEAKER_04 10:40

Okay, we're up to group nine boys for the day one Mum's Bum Cup teams, and we've been led off by number 95, Water Tank Matt. He has had a huge year throughout the competitions. Triple B's, he's right up there, he was right up there in Tattoo Trophy, doing his best in punter of the year. He's a Wrangler through and through and was a late withdrawal due to illness last year, but he is back on deck, and Sideshow Sam has slammed his name down first for Group 9. Any thoughts on that? Isn't he the guy who took a finger off, had a cut off to help you swing two years ago, the big tank? First ever tour. He found that his hands just were getting in the way of uh he swing and had a finger removed.

SPEAKER_02 11:12

I heard he had a second finger removed this year, mate. That means he's taken two fingers off just to help him with a mum's bum cup of golf.

SPEAKER_01 11:20

My lord. He's only got eight more tours left in him, and then he's yeah, he's gonna be hitting the golf ball with nubs. You mean nads? No. Nubs. He's not gonna have any fingers left. He's only got ten fingers, I believe.

SPEAKER_02 11:30

He may have twelve or thirteen. I've known people and I've read about stuff like that.

SPEAKER_04 11:34

Well, I don't think he does, and he know I don't know if he has or he hasn't, but what I do know is the big fella's gonna be on tour. And uh Sideshow thinks he's a fair chance too. He's gonna be down there. So these last four groups, fellas, you've gotta be patient. Number one in the world. The one thing we've learned the last couple of years when we haven't been able to secure uh a shotgun or two T starts is that if you're in these back groups on day one, you've just gotta resign yourself to the fact that it's gonna take a bit of time. Make sure you've got enough beers. You must rehydrate by a case instead of a dozen. Whatever. Make sure you got food, things like that. And laugh when you feel like you are gonna give someone an absolute pizzling or you're getting frustrated, laugh. Tell yourself a joke or look over at uh Mario, for instance.

SPEAKER_02 12:15

Oh, that's a bit unfair.

SPEAKER_01 12:16

It always gives me a giggle anyway. Yeah, me too, Mario. Please send away. Number 47.

SPEAKER_04 12:24

Rhinestone Graham Shooter. Oh, gee, whiz, I like this move a lot. Rhinestone Graham, he is a former Mum's Bum Cup champion. He's a former punter of the year champion. He's been on the tour for a long time, and I'll tell you what, he's back out to the handicap where he secured success all those years ago. I don't mind this at all. He's a big chance of taking out the major points in this group. So, Benny, well done. Yes, he is a champion, and he's a great bloke to play golf with, actually, Rhinestone. Uh I followed his groups around a bit over the years. Always willing to give a helping hand out to the younger guys. Uh, he's very relaxed, great company, always easy to smile, and uh he is due, you know, to put in another big performance. Uh the Beatle Ball 10 Anniversary Tour, that was a big, big one, that one. And uh I wouldn't be surprised if he's up there absolutely giving it to Water Tank Matt and maybe asking him to take another finger or two off, or at least causing him to think about it. Number 90, Tank Rider Jace.

SPEAKER_03 13:18

King Brown.

SPEAKER_01 13:20

Anything you can do, I can do better. That's what saving Private the Skipper's done here. Tank Rider Jace, he was in it for a long way last year, and this is a nice position for him to be in. Rainstein Graham, decent golfer, water tank match, good golfer, and uh he's due. I think this is a great opportunity for not only the King Browns to grab some real points in this group, but also for Tank Rider Jace to make the cut. I think uh there's gonna be a lot of eyes off him here, and uh I like it a lot.

SPEAKER_04 13:45

Yeah, it does seem pretty good actually, Tank Rider. Uh the big fella. Well, it'll be interesting to see how he goes. Uh it's hard to back up year after year, but the handicap, he's gone out again a little bit more. He was in that final group last year or in the final eight. I can't quite remember, but he was dead set in the thick of it, right up to his throat. Uh, and I think he is in a nice spot here.

SPEAKER_02 14:03

Yeah, mate, that's pretty good, but we still have one more to come into that group, do we not?

SPEAKER_04 14:07

Yes we do, Mario. And it is a cattle dog.

SPEAKER_02 14:10

I know who I would unleash, mate. On my signal, unleash hell. Number 78.

SPEAKER_03 14:16

On trend was cattle dog.

SPEAKER_02 14:19

Yeah, baby, that is the man, Drachonautis, otherwise known as Ontrend Wes, otherwise known as Wes Wes. He is going to be well, where's Wooly? I don't know, I think I fucked that one right up.

SPEAKER_01 14:30

Yeah, he sure did.

SPEAKER_04 14:32

Murdered it. Absolutely murdered it. Big Wes comes into that group. That's a mean looking group, isn't it? Ted Seb wouldn't like to be uh the club pro coming out there telling him to move along quicker. We've had a few of them over the years, but just have a look at him. Water tank map. Rhinestone Graham, tank rider Jace on Trem Wes. I know where I'll be going, I'll be shooting straight for Rhinestone Graham. He's about the least intimidating looking one out of that foursome. Oh, it's a mean four-ball that one. Oh, is it what? On Trem Wes, he is an interesting one who comes into this because Wes has been thereabouts the last few years, and one gets the feeling in their bones that Wes would like to win this jacket. And uh I think Trent said it todd, a lot of money come for him, a little bit of speak and chatter around the place about him, and he uh apparently he is a legitimate hope of uh of his uh practice regime, whatever that may have been. Uh so but I wouldn't write off Wes. He wore the yellow jacket a few years ago, he drank 757 different drinks and dressed in a suit, he looked like James Bond meets Chuck Norris. Uh at 1130 at night, he looked as sober as he did at 11.30 in the morning until the cold air hit when we left. But uh, he's definitely one to watch. That's a good group. That's a very even type group. I don't have a dog in this fight because I'm a croc, as you know, and uh looking at him, oh if you asked me to back one, I couldn't. I think this could be a four-way dead heat. Uh good luck scorers.

SPEAKER_03 15:45

Mom's Bum Cup day one. Group ten, number ten, Mikaby McKenna!

SPEAKER_04 15:53

Croc. Right. Okay, looks like we've got a bit of breaking news that's come through. It appears one of the beatherbores has attempted to gain access to uh the swamp. Yeah, I believe they increased security out there earlier and then put a perimeter in and they have uh a lot of centurions and and other security uh guarding things.

SPEAKER_02 16:13

This must be part of what happened on Sunday, mate, in the rivalry. Oh my goodness, I could who would have thought it would come to this?

SPEAKER_04 16:19

I believe we've got some footy, actually, so let's roll it.

SPEAKER_02 16:22

Sir, we have an intruder into the swamp palace.

SPEAKER_04 16:25

Really? Bring him to me? So intruder, what is your name? Uh Metro Matt. Metro, hey? No no, Metro. Slap him, sir. Yes, yes, swap him to the floor.

SPEAKER_02 16:37

So, Metro, you are here trying to get to my good friend, Biggis Micus, no doubt.

SPEAKER_04 16:43

What are you laughing at, intruding?

SPEAKER_02 16:45

I believe it's a fake name, sir, like I have a very great friend in the quark or Bigus Mickus.

SPEAKER_04 16:53

And what are you laughing at, Metwo? You wrap scaling? I could have you whipped for such someone. Swap him again, sir. Yes, yes.

SPEAKER_02 17:00

Swap him again. Very waffly.

SPEAKER_04 17:03

So, Metro.

SPEAKER_02 17:04

Do you have a problem when I say the name Bigus Micus That is sensational.

SPEAKER_01 17:16

Great stuff, that uh It's really dangerous, mate.

SPEAKER_02 17:19

What are you getting so happy about?

SPEAKER_01 17:21

Fuck off, Mario. That is just uh unbelievable that they've put in centurions around the swamp palace and uh Biggest Micus is uh now residing on the throne out there.

SPEAKER_04 17:30

He's a very important man in Croc World and the Beatle World, thank you very much.

SPEAKER_01 17:33

I'm sure he is, it's still fucking funny.

SPEAKER_04 17:36

All right, getting back to the groups, Biggest Miccas, I mean Mickey McKenna, has been named as the first player in group ten. So we're getting back towards the tail now, and we have a skipper who has put all of his team before him pretty much uh and left himself into group ten. So he must be thinking he is going to try and win this group and get some major points for the Crocs, who are running second in the THC Premiership, and they need to produce right through the Mums Bum Cup weekend. Uh do we have any any takers on how he will go?

SPEAKER_03 18:03

Uh yeah, it's it's hard to see him winning again. He only won it, what, three or four years ago. Traditionally, it takes at least half a dozen years to start to get back towards the handicap where you won. I can't see him winning it, and at the odds I think he's twenties and he is the bookie, so he's given himself no real hope either. But I can see him winning this group, uh depending on who comes in next. And that, by the look of it, is a Wrangler. Number one oh four Smitty Win Wrangler. I'm sure not sure if you remember, fellas, last year on the Sunday Ambrose, uh Roger that Diva, Mickey McKenna, or Biggest Mickers as he's now known, uh he they paired with Smitty Wynn and Highwire Will. And the older gentlemen in the group, I'll let you work out who that is, they reckon they had one of the best, most fun rounds of golf in their life that they've ever had. And believe me when I say that these two back together again, Mickey McKenna and Smitty Wynn, this is going to be a party group. They're gonna have a lot of laughs, a lot of fun. Uh and the other two players, if they're serious, well, it may take 'em a lot of concentration to stay that way.

SPEAKER_04 19:07

Oh no way in the world I've had a sneak peek at this next group this group, the last two players of it, and believe me, you do not want to be around this group. There's this is just gonna be ghetto blasters happening, laughing, hitting shots, drinking beer. Oh, it's it's gonna be all on. This is the Dead Set Party Group.

SPEAKER_03 19:23

Number one hundred Josh and the Sergeant Shooter.

SPEAKER_01 19:30

He's gotta get there first. My goodness, how are him and uh Major Mortar going? Are they actually getting any closer?

SPEAKER_04 19:36

Well, the last we saw is uh there was a thing on the news last night. They thought, you know when Forrest Gump just kept running. They thought these two had decided to just keep riding their little sister's e-bike uh as far as they could. But uh they ran out of battery, they had to uh run along for a while pushing the bike, but they Josh assures us that he and they will be there. So that's a great thing. And as he's gonna be part of this group, I don't believe he's a lot of hope for the golf. Uh I could be wrong, but uh he's certainly diminished in those chances of being part of this group now because the fourth member that's coming along uh he likes to have a party as much as anyone else on tour, if not more.

SPEAKER_03 20:12

Number eighty two General Buckley's King Brown.

SPEAKER_02 20:19

Oh mate, what a group this is! General Buckley's his joining Smitty win, and then there's Mikabee and Josh. It's gonna be a ho, it's gonna be a fun group, no doubt about it. I'm not sure if the Mum's Bum Cup winner is coming out of this group, mate.

SPEAKER_04 20:33

I dare say they'll be lucky to make the cut, anyone from this group. It is going to be a a good day, good time. The the funny thing is, Buckley's can play, and I mean seriously, can play. But uh he gets distracted, uh, and much to the enjoyment of the rest of us, he that distraction often leads to good times and funny times. Uh so talking about disruptors in groups, well, there's at least two in this group, and uh there's gonna be a lot of fun and antics, and I wouldn't be surprised if a story or two comes out of it, uh, but I'm saying a pass as far as any of these guys winning.

SPEAKER_01 21:03

Uh don't be so quick to write him off. Buckley's may have turned over a new leaf. Who knows? He may be all serious sit on us these days. I doubt it very fucking much, but uh, looks like it's gonna be one hell of a time, and the two groups behind them, the two of them, uh, they're gonna be looking and thinking, oh right, I really have to focus here.

SPEAKER_03 21:21

Mum's Bum Cup, day one. Group eleven, number eighty-seven, Casey S.

SPEAKER_04 21:29

Paul, Cattle Dog. Serious contender here, boys. Casey as Paul, he can play golf. He's uh one of those sneaky under the radar players at the moment who are getting through with not a lot of attention, but I tell you what, he can win. But one of the factors that is going to be against him is is in group eleven. Now he was towards the end last year in a group, uh, not happy when he arrived home, uh, felt that he hadn't played his best golf, and he's gonna need to focus. Well, that's it. You can't do much about it. The skippers have all got a strategy, they're putting players in they think can win the groups. So I think without a doubt Acacia Paul is probably the favourite for this group. But there is one other player who's gonna be right up there with him. Uh but he may not even be on the tour. So uh CS is keep calm, mate, enjoy the day and uh play your best golf. Make that cut because I've uh I for one have had a few little balls on you doing well.

SPEAKER_03 22:17

Number one hundred and two Erica B arries.

SPEAKER_04 22:24

Uh just by the way, Mario, HR have been onto me and they've said for me to give you an official warning on air so that the whole world can hear it. Uh and that is you are no longer allowed anywhere near the front of the bus. Pete has thrown in a complaint saying that you've been repeatedly trying to take the steering wheel and at one stage you even try to climb onto his lap.

SPEAKER_02 22:44

Oh, that is a lie, mate! I just wanted to sit and see. I didn't have to have my feet touch the pedals or anything, mate. Oh Pete, I thought we were getting on so well.

SPEAKER_04 22:52

Well, there may be more of this. We'll this will come down the track. But uh as a result, Erica B arries, maybe called in at late notice to take over the driving of this bus as we make our way hurtling towards Adelaide. Uh he is, as you know, a wonderful driver, Erica B. And uh he could be down the front uh sooner rather than later. They may have to chopper him in. But apart from that, uh I wonder if he has been hitting golf balls, practicing his putting up and down the bus lanes uh through the traffic in his lunch or whatever. I don't know. Is is he a big chance Eric could be at the golf? No. And uh I feel sorry for the poor bugger at the moment because he's a mad Bulldogs fan, as we know, and he's got a couple of taps with the Bulldogs, and and uh they've changed apparently. They've they've gone from being uh mean-looking dogs in the Bulldogs logo and to rather sad-looking things now. Some are saying it's an effective AI.

SPEAKER_03 23:38

How the hell can you say it's an effective AI? They're on his body.

SPEAKER_04 23:42

Oh, they're saying, you know, the the thing's going through the air and all that. It's just a vibe in there.

SPEAKER_03 23:47

Uh alright. I I think that's quite a horseshit personally. Uh I wouldn't mean C and Ellie could be delayed the bus at all, but uh I don't think we're gonna need him unless Peter.

SPEAKER_04 23:56

Oh, he's under a lot of pressure, Pete. He's uh having a lay down at the moment, and uh that's why we're stopped on the side of the road here, and all he can see is the task is red dust for as long as you can look at the picture. Alright, getting back to the golf uh Ericaby uh he is going to be in here with this group in case he's at all. Uh I don't know that Eric Abby has getting been getting much golf in, uh, and if he's much of a chance of his handicap still, probably a little bit skinny still that handicapped, so uh he'll have a great day out there, no doubt about it. Good company, always ready for a laugh and a beer, and uh he'll be there enjoying it, and he'll be probably looking at the group in front of the time, thinking, geez, I'd like to be part of that one too.

SPEAKER_02 24:31

He's been getting fit, but mate, uh all the rumours have it that he has lost a stack of weight, the big fella. He had to change shirt sizes and everything. So we may not even recognise Eric B when he gets here and being a little bit thinner. Maybe I can sit on the seat next to him.

SPEAKER_03 24:46

You're not allowed anywhere near the front seat, you're gonna.

SPEAKER_02 24:47

But I just like to drive things, mate.

SPEAKER_03 24:50

Man, after my own heart. Number ninety-seven. Next to win Nate Wrangler.

SPEAKER_04 24:59

Always are on the clock for this man. I tell you what, especially over in Wranglerville, because he may not be on the tour. He's better half Rosie. She is expecting any moment, and he is on his knees praying 24-7 next to win Nathan. Because he is a big chance in the golf too, and one of the Wrangler's few hopes. Uh, are there any uh late updates on this, Sandy?

SPEAKER_03 25:19

No, nothing that I can speak of. We're all sitting around nervously waiting to see if he he'll be able to meet the tour. It's their first bub, and uh, you know, you gotta be and gotta do what you gotta do, but uh the Wranglers certainly are holding hands, playing it, chanting whatever it takes, incantations, anything to try and get him there.

SPEAKER_04 25:38

Well, he is a chance in the golf, and he would make this group uh he would be a big chance of taking out this group. Him and Casey, I firmly believe, would be the two that would be going head in head for it. However, what must be known, boys, out there in Beatle Ball Land is that if next of when Nathan is uh late scratching at the barrier, then this group of four becomes a group of three, which will take them up into the top four groups. They will move up into group four place as a three ball.

SPEAKER_02 26:03

Oh, that will make Casey very happy. He may be the only man hoping the baby doesn't come before they're tour because that way he can move up a bit.

SPEAKER_04 26:11

Well, that may be, you know, mum's mum cup competitive people want to win it, want their name on that green jacket. So that's where we stand with next to win nate. Huge hope if he can actually get there.

SPEAKER_03 26:21

Number 91, Major Mortar Shooter.

SPEAKER_04 26:27

I have a handicap of 48 and an eight to one. I love the value of Major Mortar. Gotta get here though. You know, looking at those two on that push bike, him and Josh, they are in all world of pain, I imagine. I think frostbite's kicked in. Uh they're probably gonna be stuck together for at least the first half day, carrying each other around like Siamese twins. But if he can get separated from that whole experience, shall we say, and maybe you know, plan his travel a little bit better next season. Uh he's a big chat, and so I think he's a threat.

SPEAKER_01 26:54

And I think he's been undervalued, underrated, and overlooked nice. I must admit the King Browns were a little shocked when he was uh not only poached by Ben Zabair, ex-King Brown, now a skipper of another team, the same as Sejo Sam. I believe Londro Leber was even in the King Browns for one season there. But anyway, that's all by the bay. I'm sure saving private will bore the shit out of you without the fact when you're over there. I think that uh he can't win. I don't think he's a chance in hell. Snowflake's chance in hell. That's just our opinion over here at the Browns. We were sad to see him go, 'cause he's a wonderful team man, and he can hit a ball. You only have to watch him playing cricket. But uh no, Major Mortar. Gone. We like to play quick, so try to keep up.

SPEAKER_04 27:34

Well, that brings us to our final group for the day one Mum's Bum Cup on Friday at the Pat Golf Club.

SPEAKER_03 27:40

And leading us off in that group is Number 107, Erwin Geordi.

SPEAKER_04 27:47

King Brown. As is often the case for rookies on tour, and this group has both rookies. Uh, Hero Lee Harry obviously is one of the ones left as well. Erwin Geordie is one of our other rookies, uh, and in the first season they quite often go in the later groups for no other reason that the captains and the other players haven't seen how they go with a golf stick in hand. Uh, some of the bonuses, of course, have been in that last group is uh you get to take your time once you're to the course. You can have a breakfast, you can uh have a walk around, have a really good warm-up, you can have a few beers, you can do whatever you like because you know that you're not going to be on that tee for about 45 minutes. Uh so that's really good as far as that goes. One of the downsides, if it is a downside at all, is picking up the nearest the pins and the long dives. Am I right? Yes, I am right. I know I'm right. No need to tell me I'm right. So that's one of the jobs the boys will have out there. Erwin Geordie, not a lot known about his golf. There has been a few whispers and and sneaky looks at him playing recently, and uh off 15 they're saying no hope at all.

SPEAKER_01 28:41

But he's got a great personality, Geordie. He's gonna slip right into that king round circle really nicely. I believe he has a little bit of headwear surprise to uh introduce himself to all the boys on tour. Uh and he's there along with Harry, and they're going to just have a good time. Enjoy it. Oh, don't you be saying that about Harry. He's one of our secret weapons shooters up the sleeve. He can play this young kid, don't worry about that. Well, we're not talking about him right now, Lori, so shut the fuck up, would you? Because uh we're talking about Geordie. So Geordie, get away, enjoy yourself, have a great time on the golf course, and uh I'll see you in the clubhouse. There was really no need to talk to me like that, Ben. Well, why don't you let me finish your bozo? We're not onto your here early, Harriet. Yeah, I know, but you really hurt my feelings. Ah, for fact's sake, Lori. Are you drunk, Ben? No, maybe a little bit tispy, but um fan, thank you very much.

SPEAKER_02 29:26

Yeah, he mate, he's been having uh a wine breakfast, a wine lunch, and a wine dinner because of all those fighting wines, and also there's not a lot to do on the bus sometimes in between the podcast and uh getting massages.

SPEAKER_04 29:38

Say no more, Mario. What did you have for breakfast this morning? Uh I had two pieces of tar, Seneca. Not you, Mario. Ben, what did you have?

SPEAKER_01 29:45

I might have had a little penis grease, followed by a Vidildo, and uh then a lovely cabinet Sauvignon at lunchtime, uh a Jacob Carraz, uh just uh about ten minutes ago.

SPEAKER_03 29:56

He's got it under the table. Have you not noticed how Daddy's lips are today?

SPEAKER_01 30:00

Well I'm on church I can chew whatever I like.

SPEAKER_04 30:03

Yes and no, Ben. Come on, let's try and just hold it together. We don't want a raging drunk falling off that bus when we pull into Adelaide or all that fanfare, do we?

SPEAKER_01 30:11

There we go, bastard there. Who are you talking about? Saturday, my goodness, they closed the shops on a Saturday. Apologize to Laurie. Uh very well. Lorrie, I'm really sorry that you've got a head like a busted ass. Moan, anyone? Number eighty five.

SPEAKER_04 30:27

Ballroom Ben. Cattle dog. He's off chops, Mario. What have you got to say about ballroom Ben? Now he was looking really good last year and playing some great golf, made the cut, and he's a big threat, got a few strokes back, and I think he is one of the men that we need to keep an eye on.

SPEAKER_02 30:43

Yes, mate, he is. He is one of our great white hobs, ballroom Benny. He is a fierce competitor, this man across a number of sports and dance moves. But he is also going to be a lot better positioned except for one thing.

SPEAKER_03 30:56

And that's the position he finds him in in group twelve.

SPEAKER_02 30:58

Yes, mate, but Leber has a plan. He thinks Borroom Ben can win this group and can win it quite easily. Looking at it, though I am not so sure. I think he's a very big hop, very good at what he does on the golf course these days. He practices a lot, practices, practices. He is under the tutelage of Roger Vladiva, which hopefully won't have too big an impact negatively wise on his golf, and I think he's a very big champ.

SPEAKER_04 31:21

Here here, me too.

SPEAKER_02 31:23

Can I say something?

SPEAKER_04 31:24

No.

SPEAKER_03 31:24

Number ninety eight. Well Danielson Quak.

SPEAKER_01 31:32

The voiceover guy. Not normally a fan of his, but that was quite funny here. Bringing in a bit of quak. I might have to tell Biggest Mickus about that.

SPEAKER_04 31:40

Alright, that's enough. I think you can just quieten down for the rest of the show, thank you. I'll take it from here because he is one of the big chances in the Mum's Bum Cup for Pizza Ball 18. Uh Wynn Danielson. Very good on the golf course. He is way under on his handicap, but the problem is They're four days. That's right, he's one of the most social beasts on tour, and he will be out there having an absolute ball, one of the best times of his life. And uh that if he can get through that, the first three days, uh, he's a big chance come Sunday, provided he's made the cut. Yeah, he is. Uh he's gonna I'll tell you who it'll be good for Edwin Geordie. They're good mates. I doubt that they will not be cut buddies on this. And it's actually a good thing for here early Harry too, because Ballroom Ben will be trying and trying hard. Uh, and that will also give Here Early Harry, who we've been told, as I've said many times, he has been playing a lot of golf in preparation for this out west. So here early Harry and Ballroom Ben, they they will probably be seriously at it. Uh Win Danielson could be bought undone by the personality of airwin Geordie and the Henge. So interesting. I don't mind it, but he is definitely a big hope, Wynne Danielson. And unlike brother, next to Win Nath, Winn Danielson got his shagging schedule correct. Here's no worries, he's got the twins, but they're all settled in and going well.

SPEAKER_03 32:50

Number one hundred and six. Here early Harry Shooter.

SPEAKER_04 32:57

Here he is, our youngest and newest tour member and a shooter at that. Welcome aboard here early, Harry. Can't wait to bring you into the shooters fold when you hit Adelaide. Uh can't wait for you to meet some of the other younger guys. We've got a lot of men here, aged between 18 and 70. We've got mates of all ages. There'll be plenty to play with and play for, and uh, I'm sure you'll have a damn good time, mate. Not easy off a handicap of fifteen, but that's fine. We hear that you can play a bit, so that's good. Uh just enjoy the experience, so don't feel bad about being in the last group, last name out. No, that's something that you should take into consideration. I mentioned it earlier. The rookies generally go at around this point, everyday one groups, and that's because we haven't seen them play yet. We don't know. The captains can't weigh up whether he's it's worth taking a risk on someone they haven't watched play to try and win points to win the THC Premiership or end or the Mum's Bum Cup. So, Harry, wonderful to have you aboard, mate. Come along, have some fun. You're in there with another rookie in Erwin Geordie. I'm sure he'll keep you amused as well. Uh, and if nothing else, you'll have a bloody good weekend. Uh but I'm looking forward to seeing you play a bit of golf. Hey, I think we all are.

SPEAKER_03 33:58

I love it when the new young blogs come into the group, and uh we've got a couple this year, and we've had a few over the last few years, so that's lovely and wonderful to see. Uh, and uh let's see if he can hit a ball. And drink, cheer.

SPEAKER_04 34:11

Ben, that's quite enough, thank you.

SPEAKER_01 34:13

Ooh, uh, just a little bit. Ooh, uh, just a little bit more ooh, uh, just a little bit, you know what one I'm looking for.

SPEAKER_04 34:21

Well, there we have it, gentlemen. All twelve day one mum's bum cup groups have been compiled and revealed. The skippers, after uh weeks of sleepless nights and working out the best ways to navigate this to grab lots of points. I doubt they lost a wink. They're moving, but uh they picked their teams and it'll be interesting to see how it plays out on day one. It's a stroke event on day one for everyone, minus your handicap. Uh, and that decides out of the 16 finalists who will be playing off for the Mum's Bum Cup. I think we need a quick rib cap on those groups, do we not, Ron? Yes we do, Sandy. Why don't you take it away? I think I will now that I'm here. Alright, group nine, Wrangler started it off with Water Tank Matt.

SPEAKER_03 35:00

He is joined in that group by Rhinestone Graham, tank rider Jason on trendwiz. Group 10, Mickey B. McKenna, he's leading that group out. Smitty Wynn, Josh and the Sergeant, General Barkley's in the party group. Group 11, uh, a great rugby league group, I must say, played a game or two out there myself for the spacemen many years ago. KCS Paul, Ericaby arrives next of Win Nath, Major Mortar. Now remember that this group becomes a three ball if next of Win Nath is due to the birth of his first baby. So that group, group 11, would actually move up and become group four, and everyone had shuffled down one. Group 12, here we go, the rookies group, Erwin Jordy, ballroom, Ben Win, Daniels, son, are their competitors, they will give a red hot crack, those two. And here early, Harry. So we've got it all done, it's all locked and loaded, and we are ready to hit that go button for the mum's bum cup.

SPEAKER_04 35:55

That we are. Alright, moving quite along. Uh the chopper came in earlier. Next up we have Timmy Romiticis giving a quick low-down roast on the cattle dog.

SPEAKER_05 36:04

I wanna wanna kiss you all lover. And over and again.

SPEAKER_06 36:11

I wanna kiss you all lover.

SPEAKER_05 36:17

To the necklaws.

SPEAKER_04 36:24

Alright, joining us now is none other than Timmy Rawmeterkiss. And Timmy, uh, you've been down to Cattle Dog Country, I believe.

SPEAKER_03 36:31

Too bloody right I haven't, I tell you, it is sensational down there. How did the Cattle dogs get all that to themselves? Rolling green hills, cows barely hanging on to the side, black and white freezers. I think they'd freeze your nuts off in winter, I'd say. And uh then they've got that lovely ocean. It's magnificent. It's a real retreat vibe that goes on with the cattle dogs, gotta say it.

SPEAKER_04 36:52

Okay, well uh what did you w what's going on then?

SPEAKER_03 36:55

You're doing all these reviews and you're looking at some of them, you're My job is to find out where they fucked up. Really that simple it is, Lori. You know, these teams, they're running third now, but everyone's saying above me that they think the cattle dogs have been a bit disappointing and that they've plateaued. I don't know what the fuck that means. I think it's something to do with uh not paying for a meal. But anyway, that's where they're at. And the catalogs I had to go down. I heard I know last year we went down and they had a lot of healing and praising of the Lord and all that stuff, which is all wonderful and good, got no problem with that. You've got to find your motivation where it is, and you've got to look for assistance wherever you can get it. Uh but this year they've faltered a little bit, uh. They're running third now, and I tell you, it's just not good enough for beat the ball. Not good enough to win premierships, and that's what it's all about. They've only ever won the one.

SPEAKER_02 37:36

Yeah, but we should have won too, mate. We all know we all dripped off that year.

SPEAKER_03 37:39

Yeah, yeah, I know, but that might have been great captaincy from the Crocs. We'll never know, will we? Not unless one of them has bamboo suits stuffed up their fingernails, or they're hung upside down over an open fire. Uh we're not gonna find out. I don't think they're gonna tell us jack shit about it all. All right, so let's start at the top. Where where do you think they need to be fixed and where's it going wrong? Well, it's pretty damn simple, isn't it? They're gone alright in the tipping. They've got two or three in the top eight. They've done no problems there, which means they've also flowed over to the DLMs. There's a few boys in there, mind you, that have to pull their fingers out big time because they're doing sweet FA to actually help the teams. There's no woof woof, you know, this woof woof. That's what they gotta that's what they do. We need a bit of grrrrr, a bit of grunt in the cattle dogs, and I'm gonna give it to them. I'm gonna make sure they get it. I went down there last year and I actually coached a few of these boys. Soft, fed income, soft. That crazy 80s dude, he just likes to get naked. He's the only three legged horse running around in those paddocks down there. He lets the hair out and he runs around, you know. He's well, the only thing he can put on him is a placemat. Well, you've got to find where he's placing himself, or he could be displaced. There seems to be a little bit of a theme going on here, is there not, Timmy? Well, I don't like to repeat around the bush too much, do I, but I gave a few hints there. Yeah, look, bottom line is Craig's he bets like a fairy. He might be the only three head legged horse down there in cattle dog country, but I tell you what, his dead's heck got balls the size of green peas when it comes to the punt, sitting there dollar four place into a dollar ten a place, dollar twenty. What's he trying to do? Is he trying to sabotage his team from the inside out? That's the questions the people above me are asking. So you think if his punting was better that they'd go better? I just yeah, well done, Einstein. You're all over it like sticking on a lollipop, aren't you? You've got it. You've worked it out, fair income. Thank God I came here, eh?

SPEAKER_04 39:19

All right, all right, there's no need to be about be like that, a bit dismissive. Oh well fair incum, what's that rubbish? Alright, well you tell me, what about Lonro Leber, the skipper? Is he doing a good job?

SPEAKER_03 39:29

He does a great job. But Leber is a tap on the ass man, not a slap on the back fella. You know what I'm saying? He likes to bring him in close, get the group hugs going, a little bit of squeezy squeezy. Uh that's not what you gotta be to win. To win you've got to have a hard edge, a hard nose.

SPEAKER_04 39:43

Yeah, but he's in charge of a junior rugby league thing. He's been involved in rugby league his whole life.

SPEAKER_03 39:47

Yeah, so are cheerleaders, mate. What I'm saying is a Leber, he's gotta give a little bit more tough love, you know, a little bit of a clip over the ear now and then. Not this is gonna be alright, don't worry about it, mate. He needs to demand more from his men. Give me more.

SPEAKER_02 40:02

So a bit more like on trend wes, mate to Jackie Norris.

SPEAKER_03 40:05

It's exactly what we need a bit more. You saw him bite the head off that scorpion last year. What you didn't do is see him do is bite the tail off, and then he crunched the tail like he was eating prawns at the Chinese restaurant. Some Lardy Darwin when they can't be bothered peeling the whole bastard. So Wes is the guy they've got to look to. But he's been a bit quiet this year, Wes up there on the Sunshine Coast, maybe getting a touch soft under the sunshine there too, you know what I'm saying? But Wes can lead him. He's a guy that needs to give them a bit more grant. Give more.

SPEAKER_04 40:33

Yeah, you seem to be a bit negative there. They've got some good players too. Devastating Dave, he's won all sorts of competitions through the years. My question to you is, when was the last time he won a comp?

SPEAKER_03 40:42

Come on, Lori. Oh, I think it was a couple of years ago, two or three years ago. Mum's mum cuppy won. That's right, three years, and what's he done since then? Nothing, except gaze at cattle all day, herd 'em into yards, and then wave a ping pong bat in the air saying who's gonna give me what for this? Where's his beather ball grunt? His cattle dog snarl. We need that mongrel back in him. He's won a few comps and he's getting a fat belly up there sitting on those victories. Bugger that. Leave the cattle, less cattle, more dog, Diva Dave. More dog. Talking about more dog, what's this dog doing down the in here, Ben? What's happened? Well, he's had a few wines today, shall we say?

SPEAKER_02 41:20

He's had a thousand the last few days, mate. He's passed out. That's what's happened.

SPEAKER_03 41:24

Right, great to see. Getting ready for the tour, tuning up. Oh, I knew one of you boys had some balls. I didn't realise it'll be the snorer. But he's got 'em all right. Look at him. What are you sitting around drinking mineral water, are you, Mario? True catalogue, no doubt.

SPEAKER_04 41:36

What about Tango Tom? He won them a premi uh Mum's Mum Cup, sorry, a couple of years ago. Was he in the premiership winning team? He may well have been as well. You can't ride off blokes like that.

SPEAKER_03 41:44

Tango Tom, emotional player, you gotta love it. When you look around and you're down in the ditches, in the trenches, and you see Tango there, you know, you're well enough because he's well enough and you want to go out there. He gives his all. He didn't take that green jacket off for 365 days. They had to literally wrench that off him to give it to Manscaped Nans. That's the type of passion we're talking about. He's a goer, he's a try, but he needs to get better across the board. We can all improve, and that includes tango. Forget the char char the rumba. We need the tango, Tom. Put the tango back in, Tom.

SPEAKER_02 42:16

Well, there's one man who can do that, and uh this is ballroom Ben. They got together ballroom tango, you get all that, don't you?

SPEAKER_03 42:22

Oh yeah, Mario, no, you are dead set too smart for me, Mario. That's what it is. I get what you're coming back. You think I'm a dumb bastard, don't you?

SPEAKER_02 42:30

You're there looking at me like you know No, mate, I promise I do not think that, I do not think that at all.

SPEAKER_03 42:34

All right, then. I won't get you in that headlock in front of the others. I shall do that later, like I did yesterday to you.

SPEAKER_02 42:40

Oh no more, mate, no more Chinese birds either, leaves and the nipple cripples, no more.

SPEAKER_03 42:44

All right, we'll stop being a smart ass to me. Ballroom Ben. Let's have a look at him, eh? Cannonballs, they call him, and Benny, he competes too. He's not tall like crazy, but I tell you what, he's fierce. He's like a little bull terrier. If you weren't called the cattle dogs, you'd be called the bull terriers or the ball terrors. One or the other bull terrier, ball terror. Which would you be, Mario?

SPEAKER_02 43:03

I would definitely be a ball terrier.

SPEAKER_03 43:05

I've heard that about you, Mario, and that might be part of the problem with the cattle dogs. We've got to drop this. We've got to become big, hard men. We've got to show these other teams that we aren't just a middle of the road packed. That's what I said to all the boys down there. And I'll tell you what, there was a lot of nodding, especially from Caesius Paul. He nodded right off, and so I had to do what I had to do, and that is Caesius. Wake up, Paul. He's met like he's a member of the bloody wiggles. Fair Incum. You never hear from him, he's Jeff in the corner. Come on, Caesius. You put a punt on every four months just to show people you're alive. Tipping, oh fuck that. He just picks a number and hopes. That's fine too. Don't mind that, but at least get the number in before week twenty seven. Come on, Casius. You gotta lead us in this golf. That's why you're in this team. Well Eba has you as his secret weapon. You are the atomic warhead of the golfing department. So why don't you just get up there this June on weekend and explode, Casius?

SPEAKER_04 43:57

Well, you know he'll be right beside him if he explodes, and that's his. His best mate, good mate, good friend, as Forrest Gump would say, and that's Girias stuff.

SPEAKER_03 44:03

You said the right word there right at the end, Laurie. I don't know if you meant to do it, or it was just a faux pas of the way you think. Stuff. Staffed. Yeah. Add E and D. Head on to stuff. And he is staffed. Girias used to be a mainstream player. He used to terrify everyone in his first ten years on tour. And then what happened? He became a granddad. That's catching thing. It's a catching thing. And that softens him up in the guts. Hunter of the year champion. Triple B champion. Mum's bum cup champion. And then you heard it? Yeah. Listen closely. I'm listening. I'm listening. Listen. Crickets. Dead set fucking crickets. It's about time he pulled his socks up and had a go. Sounds like a Roman orgy in this team. Casey as Paul, gearier stuff. Maybe they should bring in biggest miccas. Ho ho ho, yeah, very fucking funny. Did you know him? Great Indian cricketer. Well, they do have one shiny late butt, and that's Duke's Rule Daniel. He is uh their future. Two right he is the young bloke, and he is fierce. He competes on the golf course, he competes in all the contests and competitions. He is carrying those cattle dogs shoulders as broad as Hercules. He just says, get up on here, you old farts, and I will carry you across the line. He is definitely one that the other captains are keeping a close eye on. They would love to get their claws into him and bring the Dukes row and tell him, put your Dukes up, Dukes Row, and play for us. He's a gun in the making.

SPEAKER_04 45:28

Well it's all well and good to criticize and tear apart the cattle dogs, as you've done, Tom.

SPEAKER_03 45:32

I have not. I have just been a realistic, a new set of eyes giving a different opinion.

SPEAKER_04 45:38

Okay, but where did they really stuff up this season so far to be so far off the pace going into the mum's bum cup? Easy.

SPEAKER_03 45:44

That's all the tattoo trophy events. Craig's 80s dude, perfect example. That big three-legged horsey from down there in Cattle Dog Country. He's terrified of technology. Someone must have put a jigger into him years ago. Giving him a bit of a fright because he will not touch He thinks he still thinks that the Googles is something that you wear when you're doing the swimming. That's right. He won't know. He doesn't know how to do it. Surely someone in that team is technologically and advanced enough to say, why don't I do it for you? And work as a team instead of a bunch of individuals. Wake up Casius, he's dead set got something against tattoos. He must, because he dead set refuses to enter most of these competitions. Surely one of his teammates can give him a reminder and say, hey, wake up, Jeff. What do you want to pick into this? He likes to go off, but that's about it. He misses some of the other comps and he too might be terminally afraid of technology. Those two aren't alone, mind you. Oh God no, there's three or four of them that just aren't getting the points through the season, just having a bit of a crack, or getting someone in the team together to have a crack. Leberus. You just called this skipper leberus. That is I did us, Mariosis. In short, the catalogue's just gotta get a little bit more organised throughout the season. It's the middle months when it's quiet and it's cold and nobody's saying a lot. Just like when you're on a footy field in the middle of winter and you're looking around, you're behind on the scoreboard, and you're freezing your nuts off, and you're thinking I don't want to be here and looking at him, he does not want to be here either. That's when you gotta pull together and get the bodies in nice and tight until you're feeling all the meat and potatoes in the one pot. And you're going, Oh, that's warmer. That's better.

SPEAKER_04 47:20

I'm a little bit disturbed by that whole thing you just said then.

SPEAKER_03 47:23

So am I, but it doesn't matter. We're alive. You don't do that, you die. They splinter you off and you are eliminated. All the catadogs gotta do is get a little bit better organized through the Tattoo Trophy Conference next year, and they will be challenging for trophies once again.

SPEAKER_04 47:39

Alright, alright. Thank you, Timmy. Uh I always I'm exhausted. Watching you, listening to you every time you do that. Uh do we have to go through the other three teams?

SPEAKER_03 47:47

Does a zit pop on the mirror, Ron? Of course it does. We've got to do all these teams, and we've only started. We've got through the two. Next week is the final week, the final lead-in to the promised land of the Mums Mum Cup and THT Premiership. And we've got three more teams to get through. We've got to come looking for the shooters. Has been a bit shitting the woods? I reckon he does. That's one of the questions we'll be asking. Is Sideshow the Big Show? Are his men up to it? Are the Wranglers the Wanklers? We're gonna find that out. And of course, we've gotta get down and see the King Brown clowns. That's it. Every year they threaten they're gonna do something special, and every year they compete hardest for the wooden spoon. Let's see if they get another one into that absolute tree land that they've got down there.

SPEAKER_01 48:28

Ah, fuck me, is he still here?

SPEAKER_03 48:31

You just put your head back down there, little Ben, and go to sleep and dream of all those wooden spoons you got. Time for me to find out where those shooters are hanging out these days.

SPEAKER_06 48:42

Oh, pardon me, but it's uh nap time.

SPEAKER_04 48:45

Well, I don't know about you boys, but I certainly do need a nap after that. Whoa, he takes a lot out of you, Timmy.

SPEAKER_02 48:50

I find him quite intimidating, mate, do you know? And he also hurts. I know he's lurking out there, he's about to give me Chinese boons, nipple cripples. Oh that he did that yesterday, and then I went to try and drive the bus.

SPEAKER_04 49:00

Mario, Mario, HR will sort all that out. Okay, that's the end of the podcast for this week. We have uh two weeks to go until we are there in Adelaide, be the ballers. Hope you've enjoyed today. This week. Uh next week we have our final three podcasts before we all hit those airplanes, hit the road, hit trains, planes, automobiles, whatever it takes to get there.

SPEAKER_03 49:18

Uh just to interrupt quickly, sorry, Ron, what are we covering next week?

SPEAKER_04 49:22

Well, next week we have Craig's Carnival coming in and he'll be talking about a few things. There's one very special thing we'll be talking about, uh, a good friend of ours who we lost during the year. Uh, there are some special plans in place which will be revealed to all the Beelaballers about what will be happening uh to honour him and remember him each year. So Carnival will be in to discuss that and a few other issues.

SPEAKER_02 49:41

I'll bet you the Ten Commandments of Tording come up.

SPEAKER_04 49:43

Ah, they come up every year. Well, they have to come up, that's a fact. And uh especially for the new boys, just to understand what's expected when you go away. Uh but that's for another day. That's not for now. We have Friday and then the weekend coming up. All you boys out there, enjoy yourselves. We'll be back next week. Until then, see ya.

SPEAKER_02 49:59

Bye-bye boys, see ya later. Yeah, mate. Bye-bye, you cattle dogs in particular. I love my dog as much as I love you.

SPEAKER_01 50:05

Yep, I'm out of here. Where's the wine room from here again? Wherever you are, whatever you're doing, be them all.

SPEAKER_05 50:13

You fucking play with alive!

SPEAKER_06 50:17

I love my dog as much as I love you.
