Cowboys, Warriors, Knights, the season's on the line. Arguing all the odds and predictions, it's a sign. Smashing buttons online, got the console glowing bright. Just three mates talking trash and arguing all night. It's all just banter and noise, incoherent and disconnected now. Lost in the mayhem, trying to make sense of it somehow. Sports and games and shouting, yeah, that's what we're about. The Incoherent Podcast, let's hear you shout it out.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 0:30

Welcome back to episode 30 of the Incoherent Podcast.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 0:36

Joined by Zach, Chicken Little Hoover, and Wiener Pit Johnson.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 0:44

Yeah. I wishes didn't, couldn't... Yeah. Whatever. What did yous get up to this week?

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 0:55

Not much, but by the sounds of it, you were busy doing ads for the new shampoo, the new Your Grays shampoo.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 1:04

I'm not.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 1:05

us all about

_1_05-06-2026_205231 1:07

I'm not. I'm not.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 1:12

It's okay.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 1:14

I...

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 1:15

Look at that big gray patch on the top of your head, Bart.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 1:18

Hmm.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 1:22

Give us a fringe flip. It is autumn, so the autumn leaves do fall out.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 1:29

Yep, it's the weather.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 1:31

Um, well, I

_1_05-06-2026_205231 1:32

Anyway,

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 1:33

worked right up

_1_05-06-2026_205231 1:35

it's all good. I got, um, I got incriminating stuff for Bisky,

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 1:41

until

_1_05-06-2026_205231 1:42

yeah.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 1:43

or drove home on Sunday,

_1_05-06-2026_205231 1:46

Uh, no, what did yous get up to other than worrying about my head?

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 1:52

had a bit of a fire and barbecue on Sunday night, then just done a few things around the house

_1_05-06-2026_205231 2:05

Hmm.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 2:06

of days.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 2:07

Yeah. I was at work all weekend on night shift, so I've watched fuck all footy. Did watch some ice hockey yesterday,

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 2:16

did-- You didn't miss all that

_1_05-06-2026_205231 2:19

though.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 2:21

not really.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 2:23

Couple of

_1_05-06-2026_205231 2:23

I, I watched the Knights game, but that was about it.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 2:27

Wasn't

_1_05-06-2026_205231 2:28

I can't believe. Hey?

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 2:30

Wasn't that good.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 2:32

was too high scoring for me. Like, it had the intensity of a close game, but I don't like the high scores. I hate it, so.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 2:42

Tell you what,

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 2:43

lot, a lot of the games on the weekends were real fast draws.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 2:48

Yeah.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 2:48

of them.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 2:49

Yeah.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 2:50

Latrell

_1_05-06-2026_205231 2:50

That's...

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 2:51

leveled Tonga.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 2:54

We were talking about this before.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 2:56

Ponga, Ponga threw everything.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 2:59

at him.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 3:00

He threw absolutely everything at him. Nothing was stopping him.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 3:03

Yeah.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 3:04

nothing.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 3:05

I, I don't know how he stayed in the field of play. He, he done really well

_1_05-06-2026_205231 3:09

He, he got very lucky, and like they said, they'll have to go talk to the linesman that drew the lines, 'cause he didn't dr- he didn't draw it thick enough. Swear to God.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 3:19

the thing is, the thing is like Ponga threw fucking everything.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 3:23

Yeah. Yeah.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 3:24

you cannot, and you cannot say he was attempting a tackle

_1_05-06-2026_205231 3:29

no

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 3:29

There

_1_05-06-2026_205231 3:29

No,

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 3:30

no, arms involved.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 3:32

no. And that's...

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 3:33

hit him with, uh, like shoulders and head.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 3:37

was gonna, I was gonna bring this up later, but do you think he done that because he already got penalized for using too much force in a tackle?

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 3:45

was

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 3:46

Look, man, I re- it was fucking a, a good, a good effort on Latrell, like fucking...

_1_05-06-2026_205231 3:52

Luttrell, but that other one where he frigging... Who'd he hit? I can't even... I think he hit Humphries, and he absolutely leveled him, and he got penalized for tackling too hard.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 4:02

Yeah,

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 4:02

the thing, like you, you think if, if... Yeah.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 4:06

I don't think it was that late.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 4:08

He, he had a couple of steps to try and pull out.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 4:13

Do

_1_05-06-2026_205231 4:18

you've hit him late, but he said you've gotta reduce your force. Fucking stupid.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 4:25

you think it would've been a different outcome if it was like Alex Johnson or Campbell Graham that he hit?

_1_05-06-2026_205231 4:31

No, I think it still would've been the same outcome. I, I... If he was holding the ball, does he tell him he's using too much force though? Well, I don't...

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 4:41

one of the Warriors players got penalized for running the ball too hard.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 4:45

Yeah, well, this is how stupid it's getting. But that, that's the thing. I can cop the late hit. I don't think it was overly late, but it was a late hit and it probably deserved a penalty, but to turn around and tell him to reduce his force is fucking stupid.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 5:02

Yeah.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 5:02

So I'm not, I'm not upset by that.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 5:04

that could've been just referee. Me- it, it might not have been what he actually meant,

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 5:11

Yeah.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 5:16

to his head straight away.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 5:18

Yeah, but that, that's a bit of a... That's a weird thing to say in the middle of a game of footy.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 5:22

for, for it being late more

_1_05-06-2026_205231 5:25

Yeah, it was.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 5:27

What, what,

_1_05-06-2026_205231 5:27

But he said it, he said, um, "Stop using excessive force," or, "Reduce your force," whatever it was. Like

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 5:33

Well, you can't put excessive force and Kalyn Ponga in the same sentence.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 5:37

he's forced to stay on the field.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 5:41

anybody else other than Luttrell, when he hit him, would've went over the sideline.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 5:47

mm.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 5:47

Like,

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 5:49

No.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 5:50

But does bring me into me other thing. So last year we had the Brown announcement, and they said that he was gonna go to seven, and everyone said, "That's a stupid idea. He's a six." How do you boys think Brown is going with the number seven on his back?

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 6:06

I still think he's a six. He's not playing as a traditional seven. The Knights aren't playing with a traditional six and seven. They're both running the ball.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 6:20

Yeah, but Cleary, Cleary and, um, Hughes run the ball a lot.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 6:24

doesn't

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 6:25

controls that team.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 6:27

He doesn't run the ball anywhere near as much as what Brown is.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 6:32

Yeah, but when Brown does it though, he's breaking the line nearly every time.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 6:35

it's no different to the way they see Tommy Dearden. They see Tommy Dearden as a running seven, and they always say that he's more of a six than a seven. He's

_1_05-06-2026_205231 6:44

Yeah.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 6:44

controller.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 6:46

Well, I think with the speed of the game and everything, having that running seven and six is an advantage, to be fair.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 6:53

he-- yeah. 100% it is.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 6:55

Like, it's all about speed and everything, and they're getting up off the line, and if that defense is retreating and you've got a gap there, you just go for it. And I think, I think the, either the rule change has changed

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 7:07

them.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 7:10

to Newcastle, the amount of money and wanting to give back, and he's stepped his game up. Like, I always liked Dylan Brown as a player, but he's been outstanding this season when he's played every time.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 7:23

Yeah.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 7:24

I know... No, he hasn't.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 7:27

down.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 7:27

play- he's played like four or five. It, it hasn't been three.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 7:31

So you're up one. Hasn't played three, he's played four.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 7:37

Oh, he's played about five games, but I, um... No, I think, I, I think he's going pretty well, to be honest. Like, I know that he's probably... He's getting paid a lot. Between him and Ponga and Ponga re-signing and all that doesn't leave real much. Looks like Lucas might be on the outer, but at the same time, Lucas is asking for 950,000. Is he worth it? Maybe. Hey.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 8:04

I probably would have signed Dylan Lucas before I signed Palmer again.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 8:10

I don't think they were ever not gonna sign Ponga. Ponga still has, Ponga still had next year on his contract and he wanted to extend it, and it was all secretive and shit. Nobody knew it was happening until it was announced. There was only a handful of people that knew about it, so.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 8:23

what I'm saying. If on the Knights they-- they've really lacked edge back rowers, like good ones. They've had Frizzer there for a while, but

_1_05-06-2026_205231 8:33

Yeah, I know they've got, I know they've got Frizell there.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 8:36

he's going.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 8:39

is... Yeah, well he, he's on the, he's been on the bench the last couple of weeks. But McEwen, Lucas, um, that Leilua that comes off the bench, he's really good. I think, I think they've got more depth there than what we've seen in the past. And I think, like all their, all their junior teams played in the grand final on the weekend, and the SJ ball won their grand final.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 8:59

None of those juniors are coming through, uh, run lines like Dylan Lucas

_1_05-06-2026_205231 9:04

They might.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 9:06

can

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 9:06

gonna lose

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 9:07

edge back row or out in the centers.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 9:10

Yeah, but Leilua and, um, McEwen can run those lines.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 9:14

Nah, they

_1_05-06-2026_205231 9:15

Even Cant do it

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 9:16

near as good.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 9:18

Oh, I'd, I'd argue to differ.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 9:21

yous had last year when you had these blokes come in to fill Lucas' shoes? They didn't do it. Youse lost.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 9:28

that was... It was a different time and a different coach. They're, they're a different team, honestly. They're, they're playing a lot better and a lot more enthusiastic than what they did last season.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 9:39

still don't run

_1_05-06-2026_205231 9:40

But the,

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 9:40

lines.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 9:41

the ship it is, I was sitting there at halftime and we're leading well at halftime. Mind you, I can't believe I got out of bed at two o'clock for night shift to watch fucking a game with Blocker commentating. That is frustrating. But I was, I was sitting there at halftime and I said to Amanda, I said, "I've seen this before. We get out to these leads and then they run us down and beat us." And then that's what happened when the second half they ran us down, they just didn't beat us. So, and the, the effort's there. They're playing for each other, which last year they gave up. So, you know, I, I didn't think sacking Adam O'Brien was gonna be the answer to fixing things, but it turns out that, you know, Holbrook's come in there and he's, he's turned them around and gave them a bit of a refresh that, you know, most teams are probably gonna be worried about playing them at full strength like they were the other night. No. No. We're

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 10:37

They'll lose this weekend.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 10:39

getting beat by the Dragons.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 10:40

Yeah, this will be the Dragons' first win.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 10:42

It won't.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 10:43

And

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 10:44

Okay. But...

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 10:45

jump over top of Storm. Storm will

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 10:48

Yeah.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 10:48

spooners.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 10:50

Yeah. Dragons, they had a hard game on the weekend, but the Knights fucking

_1_05-06-2026_205231 10:58

Against

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 10:58

a, a lot harder game.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 11:00

the bye.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 11:02

They

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 11:02

Yeah.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 11:03

they only just won with

_1_05-06-2026_205231 11:05

The Dragons. I've got a scoreline says they didn't.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 11:09

Uh.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 11:10

But yeah.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 11:12

Jeez,

_1_05-06-2026_205231 11:12

Oh, it's all good. Yeah. What else, what else happened in the footy? I had no footy whatsoever this week.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 11:20

Um, Storm are still fucking terrible at the moment.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 11:26

Yeah. Yep. I

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 11:29

This...

_1_05-06-2026_205231 11:30

I only got two tips wrong this week. One was the Storm and one was the Knights. And honestly, in that first half, the Rabbitohs were terrible.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 11:41

Yeah. You did say take the Sins. I took the fucking Titans over the Raiders.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 11:47

Yeah. I don't know

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 11:50

Yeah, neither

_1_05-06-2026_205231 11:51

why. But yeah.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 11:53

Mind

_1_05-06-2026_205231 11:53

it's all

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 11:55

the other afternoon when they announced that Ethan Strange was out, I thought, "Ooh, Gold Coast upset."

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 12:03

that's what I thought until fucking KO Weeks

_1_05-06-2026_205231 12:06

good.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 12:06

just fucking ran rings around him.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 12:08

Yeah. Yep

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 12:10

mind you, Tigers back to reality.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 12:14

Yeah. Yeah, I think so.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 12:18

Yeah. And they're going down to play the Storm this week that bring back Hughes.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 12:22

Yeah, Storm pretty much with nearly a full strength side.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 13:04

Anyway, um, now what I did see yesterday, I seen something about Metcalf scoring and spoke to the Warriors and said that he's happy to play five-eight for the time being, but he actually wants to be halfback and with Tanner Boyd there playing so well, so he might be looking for a way out.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 13:23

Did read an article that he

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 13:25

outer,

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 13:25

with Parramatta.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 13:27

Hmm.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 13:28

I think, at the moment, but it all depends what, um,

_1_05-06-2026_205231 13:33

he's not playing halfback at Parramatta though.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 13:35

it all depends what Schnell does, 'cause Schnell's in talks with the Cows--

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 13:40

Yeah, but, all

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 13:43

Yeah.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 13:43

coming out of Cowboys headquarters at the moment is he's a backup plan if Clifford doesn't re-sign. Clifford's, Clifford's talking about testing himself on the market.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 13:57

Yeah.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 13:57

Um, Clifford's playing well enough that he could get a start at about any team,

_1_05-06-2026_205231 14:07

Yeah.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 14:08

be six or seven. But yeah, I think I'd

_1_05-06-2026_205231 14:14

I've

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 14:14

C8.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 14:15

that thing about the Cowboys and, um, Chanel was that they've already started discussions with him to keep him and that they, um, they really wanna keep him, so.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 14:25

W- the Warriors wanna keep him.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 14:28

lose him

_1_05-06-2026_205231 14:30

No.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 14:30

he won't wanna

_1_05-06-2026_205231 14:31

But

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 14:31

leave.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 14:32

a, he'll have an extension, uh, um, he'll have a relationship with Todd Payton from when he was at the Warriors, so you never know. But yeah. Um, also Liam Martin's another Panther who's put his hand up to go PNG, so they'll be the Penrith, Penrith Port Moresby Panthers by the end of fucking next season.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 14:55

Well, it'd be half Panthers, half Tigers really.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 15:00

Hmm. And Alex Johnson, who apparently PNG weren't happy with last week because he announced that he was signing with them before they announced Louai,

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 15:09

Tsofski.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 15:10

they got the shits. Yeah, it was

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 15:13

that Joey Manu has been in contact with the Roosters.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 15:18

Yeah. Well, he's supposed to be coming back and figuring out what he wanted to do. It wasn't...

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 15:23

his way back from France at the

_1_05-06-2026_205231 15:24

Yeah.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 15:25

or something.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 15:25

He was so-- I reckon he'll end up at the Roosters.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 15:28

I've

_1_05-06-2026_205231 15:28

He'll end up at the Roosters.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 15:30

reports about Manu and some say Roosters, some say he's to the Chiefs to have a talk to them.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 15:39

Yeah. I don't think Manu actually knows what he wants to do, but...

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 15:42

I read another one that he was coming back to play Super Rugby.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 15:46

Yeah.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 15:47

Mm.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 15:48

And he, he'd get a start in

_1_05-06-2026_205231 15:50

Oh, yeah.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 15:52

Rugby teams.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 15:53

Yeah.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 15:54

Yeah.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 15:54

he could, he could fit in anywhere really.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 15:57

come back and push Lomax out of his position.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 16:00

Yeah. Apparently he's doing very well. I haven't seen anything, but... Um, we don't have Origin teams next week. Last week, sorry, for the Blues.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 16:11

all up, and they're all up the shit.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 16:12

They've all got injured.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 16:14

every single one of our origin

_1_05-06-2026_205231 16:16

Ni- Nikuaza is out,

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 16:18

Yep.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 16:19

so we

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 16:20

he's

_1_05-06-2026_205231 16:20

gotta find new wingers.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 16:23

Um, the front rowers have all fucking changed.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 16:26

Crita, Crita's got an injury and might not be able to play Origin.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 16:30

Yep. Blake Martin's out. Fucking, yeah.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 16:35

Either Hudson Young will be back, Cameron

_1_05-06-2026_205231 16:38

Yeah.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 16:39

right.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 16:40

They s- they should be able to find something at least.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 16:45

Um, front rowers. I've got him on the, on the bench, but I really wouldn't be surprised if Terrell May gets the nod.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 16:58

Yeah, fucking oath. Benji's already said, he's came out and said that he'd be happy for him to be selected. He would, he'd fucking like, yeah, he said if he wants to be s- if he gets chosen, he's more than happy to let him go and do what he's gotta do with it.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 17:15

I don't think Benji's got much of a choice in that one.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 17:18

No. No.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 17:20

No.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 17:20

um, yeah, I, I really wouldn't be surprised if he, if he gets the nod and I think Ford done enough for the weekend again, so

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 17:33

Well, he didn't even get a Dally M point on the weekend.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 17:37

still did enough.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 17:38

Do you know why he didn't get a Dally M? 'Cause he didn't play 80 minutes

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 17:43

so,

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 17:44

Yeah, he played 72 minutes on the weekend.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 17:46

Is that because of the Dylan Brown thing when they gave him the three points, but he only played half a game or something?

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 17:53

Yeah, I don't know. But yeah, he

_1_05-06-2026_205231 17:55

No.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 17:55

get a single one. Aaron Clark got the three points on the weekend, but fuck me, like he's playing out of his skin at

_1_05-06-2026_205231 18:01

He's playing

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 18:02

real good touch.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 18:04

Yeah.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 18:04

Yeah.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 18:07

do you think Moses gets looked over? Is he doing enough at

_1_05-06-2026_205231 18:22

that,

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 18:22

Like

_1_05-06-2026_205231 18:24

of injuries and struggling.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 18:27

But they've-- Like they l- drop a lot of ball, they turn a lot of ball over.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 18:32

I

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 18:33

I read a stat that out of all the turnovers in that Parramatta team

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 18:39

No.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 18:39

the last, what is it? Week nine, nine rounds, I don't think they've had a bye.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 18:46

Ugh.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 18:46

don't think so.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 18:47

nine weeks. He's at like eight point four percent of the

_1_05-06-2026_205231 18:52

Yeah.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 18:53

balls.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 18:54

Yeah.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 18:55

Like that's,

_1_05-06-2026_205231 18:56

Yeah.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 18:57

big for a halfback of his quality, especially one that's potentially gonna wear the six.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 19:07

Yeah. They're under a lot of pressure at the moment, the, the Eels. Like I, I don't know if they'd be c...

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 19:16

Cowboys will play them into form this week.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 19:18

Do you, do

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 19:20

Parramatta

_1_05-06-2026_205231 19:21

Royals being under pressure though?

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 19:23

not in year one. Nah.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 19:25

Year two. He coached them last year.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 19:29

Yeah, he did. Yeah.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 19:32

So,

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 19:33

I still

_1_05-06-2026_205231 19:33

you know that...

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 19:34

he's... But he's

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 19:37

And

_1_05-06-2026_205231 20:33

Yeah. All right. You ready to do your tips this week?

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 20:40

I

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 20:40

I'm pick--

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 20:41

looked at me tips.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 20:43

I'm picking the score again this week.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 20:46

Yeah, but can you just remind us where everyone is, Eva?

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 20:52

I'm coming first.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 20:54

Where, where am I at?

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 20:57

Don't wanna get out of me screen in case it fucks up,

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 21:00

Hang

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 21:00

I'm pretty sure you might be s-

_1_05-06-2026_205231 21:03

He's not second. He's not second.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 21:05

Third.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 21:06

No, he's above me.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 21:07

Yeah, he's third.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 21:11

He's above me.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 21:13

Ah.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 21:14

Oh, no you're not. You're level with me. You're level with me, and I'm above you. I'm in fourth, you're in fifth.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 21:20

Where am I? Am I first?

_1_05-06-2026_205231 21:22

sure, first. You're equal, you're equal first, I'm equal s... Me, Zach, and a bloke from work, Scotty, are level second or third.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 21:33

know who this Bronx bloke is yet?

_1_05-06-2026_205231 21:36

I have no idea who it is. Nobody. I don't know who Jim is. So that's all good. We don't need to know who he is.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 21:46

we do.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 21:47

No, we don't. All right. Dolphins, Bulldogs, Suncorp Stadium, Thursday. Who have yous got?

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 21:58

Fins.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 22:00

You got the Fins?

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 22:01

Yep. Bulldogs, uh, they're just not firing at the moment. Critter, he's fucking-- he's still not 100%. You can see it in his game at the moment. He's still not 100%.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 22:15

Yeah.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 22:16

yeah, uh, I don't know. There's just, there's, still not clicking at the moment. Everyone keeps saying fucking Burton's gotta go to lock. They need to put Burton in the lock and fucking let him

_1_05-06-2026_205231 22:29

Burton's never play-

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 22:30

there.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 22:30

Burton's never played lock, so can you really guarantee he's gonna play well in that position?

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 22:36

Just have him as a runner more.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 22:38

on what kind of role they want him to play there.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 22:41

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 22:44

be like an Isaiah Yo ball play

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 22:47

Yeah,

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 22:48

or take the line on, I think he could do it. I think what had hurt Burton, um,

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 22:56

he-- But

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 23:01

defends 13.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 23:03

I think he can

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 23:06

that

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 23:06

defend, yeah.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 23:06

lot out of him. So...

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 23:10

he a Isae,

_1_05-06-2026_205231 23:10

I think Burton plays best when he's running the ball, and Yo doesn't really run the ball that often. It's just offloads and hit ups.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 23:20

So a hit up and running the ball's not the same?

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 23:24

Yo

_1_05-06-2026_205231 23:24

Hey?

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 23:25

So a hit up and running the

_1_05-06-2026_205231 23:27

No, what I mean i... No, that's not what I mean. That's not what I mean.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 23:31

You just said he doesn't run the ball, but he takes a hit up.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 23:35

Oh.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 23:40

Aaron Clark player?

_1_05-06-2026_205231 23:42

I think they're both the same, to be honest.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 23:45

that he could go to lock. I think he could transition there pretty well. But I have, yeah, that'd be m- and I have read it from a lot of the better experts than me, that defensively, defending in that middle third would take a lot out of him, and I, I do tend to agree.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 24:07

Who'd you pick, Zach?

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 24:08

um, I th- I think the Fins will win that one, and I've got the Fins one to 12 in my multi.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 24:20

I got mine by four. I

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 24:22

So,

_1_05-06-2026_205231 24:23

it's gonna be a tight game.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 24:24

Well,

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 24:24

yeah, it'll be a

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 24:25

who'd you pick? Dogs or

_1_05-06-2026_205231 24:26

Dolphins.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 24:28

Oh

_1_05-06-2026_205231 24:29

I'm on the Dolphins, but I've got them by four.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 24:33

I think that'll be about eight. think that last 10-minute period, Bulldogs just give up the other night. They knew they'd just... They got to that stage, and they just give up, and Cowboys went bang,

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 24:45

yeah. That's right.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 24:48

So

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 24:49

Could

_1_05-06-2026_205231 25:02

O'clock Saturday, you got the Roosters and Titans at Polytech Stadium.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 25:07

We were

_1_05-06-2026_205231 25:07

I'm not sure where Polytech is.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 25:09

In the Central Coast?

_1_05-06-2026_205231 25:12

Oh, it might be actually. I think you're right.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 25:16

Roosters

_1_05-06-2026_205231 25:16

Yeah.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 25:16

a game there or two there every year, so.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 25:19

Yeah, yeah. No, I think you're right, actually.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 25:24

Chooks will put them to the sword.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 25:28

Yeah, I've got the Roosters.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 25:29

I watched that Chooks game the other night and I seen what Daly Cherry-Evans and Sam Walker can do.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 25:42

I'm not making a comment.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 25:43

they, will miss

_1_05-06-2026_205231 25:45

Nicolazzo.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 25:48

but

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 25:48

they will.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 25:50

Ramsey fucking, he's playing pretty good. Out of the

_1_05-06-2026_205231 25:54

he sp- Isn't it

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 25:54

four years.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 25:55

first game back, or did he play last week?

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 25:57

No, he played last

_1_05-06-2026_205231 25:58

Oh,

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 25:59

He was, he was in the six-man bench.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 26:02

Yeah. Is he on the Roosters too, Hoover?

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 26:04

yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 26:05

Yeah. All right. Um, Cowboys Eels at Country Bank Stadium

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 26:16

Yeah.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 26:17

Cowboys? Cowboys.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 26:20

Para?

_1_05-06-2026_205231 26:23

Eels?

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 26:23

no fucking

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 26:24

put it there.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 26:26

Uh, Cowboys win that one. But we fucking, we struggle against Parramatta. Whether it be up there or in Sydney, we always

_1_05-06-2026_205231 26:37

Darwin.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 26:39

Yeah.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 26:40

no, we didn't have a bad track record in Darwin 'cause they couldn't handle the heat.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 26:44

Hmm.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 26:44

Yeah. Fair enough.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 26:46

Not many, not many of the teams could handle it. Even the Dolphins couldn't handle the heat

_1_05-06-2026_205231 26:50

It

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 26:51

their

_1_05-06-2026_205231 26:51

doesn't get that hot in South East Queensland. It's not that dry. I've

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 26:57

yeah, we, we

_1_05-06-2026_205231 26:58

been

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 26:59

find a way to lose against Para,

_1_05-06-2026_205231 27:01

there.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 27:02

could very much play them into form this week.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 27:05

Yeah.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 27:06

know. I, I think they're fucking a bit sore from last week.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 27:10

Um,

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 27:10

Fucking getting bashed.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 27:12

big, um, moment up there this week though. Tamouololo becomes the highest capped player

_1_05-06-2026_205231 27:20

Yeah, that's... No, he's pretty big. He's played his whole career there, hasn't he?

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 27:25

two hundred and ninety-five games on

_1_05-06-2026_205231 27:28

Is he the only one-club player for them or not?

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 27:32

A couple of young players,

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 27:34

Thurston?

_1_05-06-2026_205231 27:35

No.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 27:36

Oh,

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 27:36

and Ninai and stuff. Big

_1_05-06-2026_205231 27:38

No, I meant, I meant with like, with a long track record. Like he's near... He'd

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 27:42

yeah.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 27:42

first 300 game player for the, for their club. So

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 27:47

Yeah.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 27:48

the Knights haven't even... No, he came from the Bulldogs. Yeah.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 27:52

didn't he? Yeah.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 27:53

at the Bulldogs I was reading the other night.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 27:58

Uh, maybe.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 27:59

he start- he started with the Dogs

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 28:01

But everyone

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 28:02

with his career.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 28:03

of him 'cause of that,

_1_05-06-2026_205231 28:05

Grand final and

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 28:06

the '04

_1_05-06-2026_205231 28:08

Price.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 28:08

Yeah. There's

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 28:09

he

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 28:09

a good, there's a good podcast about him as well from ABC

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 28:13

So,

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 28:14

They do, they talk to him on there about it. Fucking, he had a pretty hard bringing up and all that.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 28:21

Yeah.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 28:22

At

_1_05-06-2026_205231 28:47

when I listened to that, so.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 28:52

E-even

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 28:53

he pushes New-

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 28:55

the the Moose when fucking-- he, um, had the interview with, with him on, um, the Alpha Blokes on there.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 29:08

Yeah, the interview was pretty good with him But he's also got other dramas going on at the moment, so

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 29:15

Yeah, yeah, we're not gonna get

_1_05-06-2026_205231 29:17

no, we're not getting involved in that. Um,

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 29:21

Tell you

_1_05-06-2026_205231 29:21

yeah.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 29:22

surprising player, Matt Lodge. Hated the idea of signing him.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 29:29

Oh,

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 29:30

time, give him time. It's only early yet.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 29:33

I d- I don't, I don't think, I don't

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 29:34

fucking

_1_05-06-2026_205231 29:34

think he's that bad of a player. Well, he,

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 29:37

Just...

_1_05-06-2026_205231 29:37

got the, he's got the talent for it.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 29:39

he, he comes on and he gets through his reps. He gets some fucking stupid little mistakes.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 29:44

Yeah.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 29:45

Give away a fucking

_1_05-06-2026_205231 29:46

he just gets through, do his statistics, do his minutes.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 29:50

through his reps, gets his 25 minutes in 30 minutes, gives Cohen Hess a blow.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 29:57

Yeah.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 29:59

but kind of flying under the radar up there.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 30:02

Yeah. Yeah.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 30:04

I, um... Yeah. Still

_1_05-06-2026_205231 30:07

I think it's happened before, though.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 30:08

I'm

_1_05-06-2026_205231 30:09

I think it's happened before where those sort of out-of-favor forwards have gone up to the Cowboys and just kind of gone through their work and that, and don't really get noticed as much as what they used to when they were in Sydney or whatever.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 30:20

Billy

_1_05-06-2026_205231 30:21

But yeah. Well, a lot of people would forget that he played there, but he did. He played up there when I was living up there, I'm pretty sure, so

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 30:29

he,

_1_05-06-2026_205231 30:30

yeah.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 30:30

he got it up there and yeah, he went through his reps. But yeah, no, not 100% sold on him, but yeah, he's... We'll see in another few weeks.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 30:42

Yep.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 30:42

Dragons

_1_05-06-2026_205231 30:43

Saturday's first game at Win Stadium, Dragons-Knights.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 30:47

Dragons.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 30:52

way, mate. They're gonna fucking

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 30:53

I

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 30:53

whoop them. Nah.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 30:54

if the

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 30:55

Yeah,

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 30:56

don't beat them 13

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 30:57

I'm go- I'm going

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 30:59

they should take their wooden spoon and go back to Newcastle and never leave the place.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 31:06

So these are both on Knights.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 31:08

Yeah.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 31:08

the Knights, but I have a feeling that this is the Dragons' first win.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 31:15

No. No, I'm going with the Knights. Um,

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 31:20

wanna

_1_05-06-2026_205231 31:20

they're...

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 31:20

team this week?

_1_05-06-2026_205231 31:21

I'm backing me team this week. I'm backing me team.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 31:24

they're gonna fucking lose.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 31:27

Um- Dad.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 31:29

time since round

_1_05-06-2026_205231 31:30

Go away.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 31:31

Yeah. Yeah, they'll, they'll lose this week now, now that you've actually backed your own team

_1_05-06-2026_205231 31:41

No, back to full strength. Well, last week I would have picked them if they weren't playing the Rabbitohs. The Rabbitohs were playing in pretty good form, but the Rabbitohs were very poor in that first half last week.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 31:50

The

_1_05-06-2026_205231 31:51

So

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 31:51

in the second half

_1_05-06-2026_205231 31:54

I don't think they'll

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 31:54

They, they were

_1_05-06-2026_205231 31:57

I... They still got backing it, so.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 32:00

poor compared to their first half. They played 60 minutes of footy.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 32:05

Yeah They do that. All right.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 32:10

in that 20 minutes, they nearly lost the game.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 32:15

Yeah, but they, they won it, so don't matter. Um, AAMI Park Stadium, Rabbitohs and Sharks, five thirty on Saturday.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 32:24

Hardest game of the round to pick.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 32:27

Oath. could go either way here. Um, I think it's gonna be game within, within 10, one to 12. Yeah. Hard game, like. Hmm. I've tipped the Bunnies. I'm not 100% confident. Like, the Sharks played on the weekend, they fucking played really good. But I have gone the Bunnies

_1_05-06-2026_205231 32:56

The Sharks do struggle against good teams, though.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 33:01

Well, the Tigers are up there at the moment.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 33:08

Fucking is who I picked, but not with great confidence. L-last, before last week, I would have said rabbits a hundred percent, but...

_1_05-06-2026_205231 33:21

Yeah, I think I would have been the same. I've gone the Sharks. I,

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 33:25

Oh.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 33:27

I think, I think the Sharks might get it over them. I think their defense is a bit better than the Knights.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 33:33

Is the Sharks at home?

_1_05-06-2026_205231 33:34

Rabbitohs, Rabbitohs. No, they, they play at Ocean Protect Stadium.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 33:40

at

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 33:41

The Aquarium.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 33:42

The Aquarium.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 33:43

it the Aquarium?

_1_05-06-2026_205231 33:44

The Aquarium.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 33:45

Park.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 33:45

Hmm.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 33:48

Oh, yeah. We got Manly and the Broncos playing at Four Pines Park, Brookie. The Ivory.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 33:58

Broncos.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 34:00

The second hardest game to pick this week.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 34:04

I just went straight up Broncos. Yeah. Yeah, I, I've just straight up gone Broncos. I, I, I know there's no R- Reynolds, but that-- when Duffy come in last time, he done really well. And Fogarty's coming back from an injury. Yeah.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 34:23

I'll

_1_05-06-2026_205231 34:23

I, like, Manly have picked it up since they've been with Foran, but they haven't really shown anything against a top club.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 34:32

They got beat

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 34:33

go Manly.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 34:35

Hey.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 34:36

Penrith beat them by

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 34:37

That...

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 34:38

without

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 34:39

Manly had fucking-- Manly had Penrith on the fucking sword there at one point.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 34:44

Yeah.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 34:45

it looked like Manly was gonna win.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 34:47

Yeah.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 34:48

um, Penrith were down to 12 men, Cogger,

_1_05-06-2026_205231 34:55

Yeah.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 34:55

and Manly couldn't put him to the sword, but Fogarty plays last weekend, Manly beat Penrith.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 35:04

You reckon?

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 35:05

that young fella played well enough, but he just

_1_05-06-2026_205231 35:09

Yeah.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 35:10

that little bit of finesse in that final third. And he'll get that with game time, getting

_1_05-06-2026_205231 35:17

Yeah.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 35:17

playing

_1_05-06-2026_205231 35:18

Yeah.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 35:18

grade, but

_1_05-06-2026_205231 35:19

That's the, that's the problem with halves in the NRL, though. They don't give them enough time to settle, and then they end up jumping around clubs until you're like Tana Boyd and you end up at another club in the right sort of moment that you can really show your worth. So,

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 35:32

That,

_1_05-06-2026_205231 35:32

just gotta stick with them.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 35:33

that young fella, he had plenty of reps training with DCE the last few years. So

_1_05-06-2026_205231 35:40

Yeah.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 35:41

beside him, like training with now.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 35:44

Yeah.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 35:44

he's got Kieran Foran who's no slouch when it comes to playing

_1_05-06-2026_205231 35:47

No. No. No, he's not.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 35:49

he's,

_1_05-06-2026_205231 35:50

I think,

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 35:50

he's

_1_05-06-2026_205231 35:50

think Foran's doing well. Yeah, I think Foran's doing well. I, I just think the Broncos are gonna be too strong for some reason. I just got a feeling.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 35:58

Um,

_1_05-06-2026_205231 35:59

Um, the Bronc- the Seagulls are the favorites

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 36:02

Yeah, I'll go Manly.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 36:04

So they're $1.55-- Well, $1.58 favorites, and the Broncos are 240.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 36:11

Yeah, well,

_1_05-06-2026_205231 36:12

yeah.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 36:12

I took the Broncos.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 36:13

who'd you go as that?

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 36:15

I took the Broncos,

_1_05-06-2026_205231 36:17

Broncos? Yeah.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 36:18

but not because of Duffy.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 36:21

Oh, it's not just because of Duffy. They've, they've got Walsh there. They've got

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 36:24

I think Walsh is gonna be-- without Turbo at the back directing that defense,

_1_05-06-2026_205231 36:32

Yeah.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 36:32

is gonna have a field day.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 36:34

Yep. Um, first game on Sunday at 2:00, Storm and the Tigers at AAMI Park.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 36:42

This

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 36:44

the Storm,

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 36:45

is

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 36:45

and Storm have got to fucking win. Storm have got to fucking

_1_05-06-2026_205231 36:49

is a hard game to pick because the Tigers got found out last week, and the Storm have been poor, and you just-- How... You're just waiting for them to have one of those Storm moments where they just click. So I, I have to pick the Storm just on that. I-- Yeah.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 37:08

um, they're hurting. They're hurting bad. I think that belly ache thing, I think those players have known about it for a few weeks

_1_05-06-2026_205231 37:18

Yeah.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 37:19

got released and that been in the back of their head. Um, Hughes coming back in is a big, big plus.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 37:27

You c- you could tell that Harry Grant knew about it when, I think it was two weeks ago, maybe three weeks ago, someone turned around and said, "Oh, is it the coach's fault?" And when Harry Grant actually turned

_1_05-06-2026_205231 37:38

Yeah.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 37:39

to do with him. It's us players and our poor performance." So I think, I think, yeah, I think they've known about it for a while, and they, now they've only just made it public.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 37:50

Yeah.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 37:50

Riggy, Riggy Stewart done the right thing and called out his, one of his best mates and all that, occasion mates,

_1_05-06-2026_205231 37:57

Yeah.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 37:58

look, I'll get through this," and all that. So yeah.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 38:02

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I think you'll find Ricky's actually a pretty good bloke in general. It's not-- That's not for show. That's just the way he is, and he sticks up for his players and knows how to say the right thing at the right time. I remember when Ricky was with the Sharks and with Parramatta, and people were saying, "He can't coach, he can't coach, he can't coach." He went to Canberra and proved that he can coach. He, he still is one of the best coaches. So, you know, he's, he's proved that. Um, he struggled at the Pan-- He struggled at Parramatta. A lot of coaches have struggled at Parramatta. At the time when he was at Cronulla was before they won their premiership. Coaches have struggled there too. Like, it took till after he left before they won their first premiership. So, you know, it's-- There's good coaches and then there's just, you know... They need the, they need the right people around them to, for the team to perform. Um, and on that we've got the Raiders and the Panthers 4:00 at,

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 39:02

who are you going,

_1_05-06-2026_205231 39:03

at GIO Stadium. Oh yeah, here you go. Storm-Tigers.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 39:07

Storm, I said that. I said this is their week.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 39:12

Yeah.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 39:12

is back and that's a big plus.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 39:14

Yeah. Raiders-Panthers.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 39:19

I'm going the Panthers. That, that all depends. The Raiders, they come out firing and fucking really just let rampant go and

_1_05-06-2026_205231 39:32

Yeah.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 39:33

again.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 39:34

I, I think this is gonna be a big test for the Raiders, but I don't think it's undoable for them. They've had some pretty good games. They've had some pretty poor games, so th- I think they're still finding their feet

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 39:46

Look,

_1_05-06-2026_205231 39:47

at this stage in the season, so... But I've gone Panthers as well. I don't think you can pick against the Panthers until they get back-to-back losses.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 39:56

I don't

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 39:57

I wouldn't mind seeing the Panthers lose, because then that would put the Warriors back on top. But, uh, yeah, I don't think they're gonna lose. I think they've got it.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 40:10

other night. I-- The other night they played Manly.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 40:18

Yeah.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 40:19

That, that's a very depleted Manly side. No Tommy Turbo at the back. Jamal Fogarty.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 40:26

Do you reckon they might have... Oh, it's not really in the mentality of Penrith to ease up on it, is it?

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 40:31

That's not.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 40:33

No.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 40:33

Um,

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 40:34

Because Liam Martin's out for the Panthers, isn't he?

_1_05-06-2026_205231 40:36

E-

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 40:37

and

_1_05-06-2026_205231 40:37

out past origin.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 40:40

I, I'm gonna take Penrith, but I think Raiders could upset and I think

_1_05-06-2026_205231 40:46

that's how I feel.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 40:47

Joey Tapine go straight over top of Blaze Teloni. Blaze Teloni's

_1_05-06-2026_205231 40:53

I think...

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 40:54

over the last few weeks. If you get a smart half, if Sanders and Stringers, they really click, I, I can Think that Raiders can upset them.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 41:11

I, um, I wouldn't be surprised if the Raiders won, but I think it's gonna be a good test for them, and I think Ricky's gonna have them up for it to test themselves and have... Up for the challenge, so I think anything could happen. Yeah. All right, that's all our tips for this week. Um, have yous got any other sport yous want to talk about this week?

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 41:35

The girls State of Origin drop b- drop ball first.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 41:41

Yeah. Yeah. But the Blues girls did get there in the end. Um, yeah. Jess Sergis with that try right on the bell was...

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 41:51

she should

_1_05-06-2026_205231 41:52

That was pretty f- that was pretty n- what was it? Shit.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 41:57

ball instead

_1_05-06-2026_205231 41:59

Oh, for your bet.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 42:01

of

_1_05-06-2026_205231 42:04

What do you reckon, Zach?

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 42:07

Didn't even

_1_05-06-2026_205231 42:08

I did watch that game. I did watch that game.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 42:10

Didn't watch it. Actually forgot all about it, and I think I was asleep about eight

_1_05-06-2026_205231 42:16

Yeah, I always thought that the girls' Origin was played on KO, but it wasn't. So I had to friggin' sign up for nine now pretty quickly, so...

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 42:26

I can't get around the fact that the girls State of Origin is played at the start of their season.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 42:33

Yeah.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 42:34

Yeah.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 42:35

is still doesn't

_1_05-06-2026_205231 42:36

their,

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 42:36

for

_1_05-06-2026_205231 42:36

theirs doesn't kick off for ages, and even they said that, you know, it takes a lot out of them to do it.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 42:42

That it just...

_1_05-06-2026_205231 42:43

they're not at full fitness. You're not gonna get the best games if they haven't got any games under their legs.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 42:47

That's right. But they're not-- They c-they can't even pick players on form. They're picking players from last year

_1_05-06-2026_205231 42:56

Yeah. Yeah.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 42:58

or

_1_05-06-2026_205231 42:58

But they, they, they need... They will... They'll expand the game and then it'll end up marrying up with the NRL boys once they start getting paid and all of that stuff, and it'll sort that out and, you know, it's... The only other way that you can do it is to have their Origin at the end of the year. But where they've placed it is so that the next game's in Magic, at the start of Magic Round and, you

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 43:23

It's not even at fucking Brisbane.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 43:27

Isn't it?

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 43:31

thing. No, it's

_1_05-06-2026_205231 43:33

there you go. No,

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 43:34

in fucking, um,

_1_05-06-2026_205231 43:35

the third one's on the Gold Coast. I'm pretty sure the, the first one's at Suncorp.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 43:39

Yeah, well, the ne- the ne- yeah, the next two are in Queensland,

_1_05-06-2026_205231 43:41

Yeah, the... Yeah.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 43:42

I don't even think the next girls State of Origin... Yeah, it's on the same weekend as Magic Round, but it's not at Magic Round.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 43:51

I'll just have a quick look and... No. No, game two is at Suncorp Stadium.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 43:57

Oh, is it?

_1_05-06-2026_205231 43:58

the third one's at the Gold Coast Stadium, the Titans Stadium. It i- it is at Suncorp. Yeah.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 44:04

what

_1_05-06-2026_205231 44:04

'Cause

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 44:04

it?

_1_05-06-2026_205231 44:04

they kick off for it.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 44:05

It's on Thursday night.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 44:08

Yeah, no, that's on Thursday night. There won't be a men's NRL game on Thursday night.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 44:13

Yeah

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 44:13

'Cause it's

_1_05-06-2026_205231 44:14

will have two games, and then there's three Saturday, Sunday. Yeah. Yep. So, yeah. What about, what about you, Zach? You see anything else sport-wise this week?

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 44:26

No, I've done fuck all this week.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 44:30

Well, Wrexham's out. They missed the playoffs. They lost their last game. Well, they didn't lose their last game, they had a draw and hole one, I think it was 3-1 or something, so they bunny hopped them into that sixth spot and go into the playoffs. But it's pretty exciting to watch. Like, it's taken until this has happened for me to actually realize how- The English system works with relegations and promotions and stuff like that, and I didn't realize that they play all the last games at the exact same time.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 45:02

They have for a while.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 45:06

I, I didn't know about that. I'd never seen anything about that. So,

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 45:10

That's

_1_05-06-2026_205231 45:10

yeah.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 45:11

thing with the APL back in twenty I think that was the season. It was thirteen, whole Aguero

_1_05-06-2026_205231 45:24

Yeah.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 45:24

when beat QPR, come from two-nil down to win three-two in the final kick of the game. Aguero scored, which beat United their

_1_05-06-2026_205231 45:39

Yeah.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 45:39

League.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 45:40

Yeah. But it, it makes it exciting. But there was like 9 or 10 teams, I think I sent you, that I'd fucked up because, um, Hull were playing teams that weren't guaranteed playoff spots who were in the playoff spots. Like it was, it got a little bit wild. So yeah, I thought they were gonna...

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 45:59

that Li-- is it true that Liverpool's taken out fucking the, the comp they're in as well?

_1_05-06-2026_205231 46:06

No.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 46:06

Is it Liverpool or Arsenal? One

_1_05-06-2026_205231 46:08

Arsenal, maybe.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 46:10

it, I heard it on the fucking radio. It was one of them.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 46:13

I think it's still up for grabs.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 46:16

Arsenal, uh, City had a draw with Everton, so Arsenal will be-- They'll stay in front even after City play their catch-up game, if they win their catch-up game.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 46:29

Yeah.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 46:29

But, yeah, still four week-- four rounds to go.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 46:36

Yeah.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 46:38

Arsenal won their League game this morning,

_1_05-06-2026_205231 46:43

Yeah.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 46:48

or PSG. So They, they play in the morning. PSG, uh, I think it, it's five-four on aggregate at the moment, but are traveling to Dortmund or to... Not, not Dortmund, to Bayern Munich.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 47:11

Yeah.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 47:12

So yeah, Bayern Munich's up five-four on aggregate and at home for the second leg.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 47:17

Yeah. Yeah. No, I, I did see the Champions League stuff's been played. I'm actually wondering, I'll go look at Facebook because we're recording on Wednesday this week. So co- um, Nikita Zu is fighting tonight, so I'll...

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 47:34

tonight? I

_1_05-06-2026_205231 47:35

it was 7 o'clock tonight. I'm trying to see whether or not... Yeah, I'm trying to see whether or not frigging it's finished yet.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 47:46

Seven o'clock here. Out... Yeah, it was in Newcastle, wasn't

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 47:49

Yeah, it's

_1_05-06-2026_205231 47:50

it was our time. Yep.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 47:51

Yeah. But he, it-- That's what time the fight's probably started. He'll probably be on soon.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 47:56

say, he won't fight till about ten o'clock.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 47:59

Yeah.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 48:00

The card would've started at seven.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 48:03

No, it says-- on, on No Limits Boxing page, it says, "What a fight, um, Z Diaz." So it must be already gone. Mm. Though that doesn't look like Friggin. No, that's, um, Callum Peters.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 48:25

the moment.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 48:27

No? Yeah. Yeah. No. We'll find out how he goes anyway. Does anyone know why he fights in Newcastle all the time?

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 48:42

stadium.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 48:44

Oh, really?

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 48:45

Pretty sure that's what it is. I think he likes it, likes fighting in N- in, um, Newcastle for some reason. I don't know why, but yeah.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 48:53

Yeah. I, I just, I never knew that it... Yeah.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 49:00

There is

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 49:00

Yeah,

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 49:00

anybody there.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 49:02

Oh, really? Yeah, we can't see that.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 49:09

All right.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 49:13

empty seats.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 49:14

Yeah. Best part of the fight right there. Mm. All right. Oh, well, we'll talk about that next week if there's any results or anything, I suppose. Um, youse got anything else for sport? Stanley Cup

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 49:33

I played about an hour of

_1_05-06-2026_205231 49:33

was going on this week. I watched a little bit of it. So they run the same sort of playoff system like the NBA and that, where they have multiple games. Um, I'm not, I haven't actually looked into what it, what it is. I'm sure there's other people that would know, but yeah. Seems pretty exciting. I think I was watching the, um, Philadelphia Flyers playing the other night and, um, I think it was Carolina coming back and beat them, I'm pretty sure. I can't remember. But yeah. Um, have youse got anything for games this week? Anything youse have seen, got excited for?

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 50:12

weekend. That's-- I've done not much gaming at all.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 50:25

I, um, I was talking to a bloke at work the other day, and he asked me if I got into Diablo IV, and I'm like, "Mm, I haven't played it." And I haven't played any of the Diablos, so I downloaded that, oh, yesterday. And I-- It was free. I'd already had it stored from a, from some reason. It didn't cost me anything. But I, um, yeah Oh, so it hasn't started

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 50:54

He's coming out now.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 50:55

yet.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 50:56

I

_1_05-06-2026_205231 50:56

Yeah.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 50:56

the seven or eight o'clock would have, have just been the card starting. So Diaz is just walking to the ring now.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 51:04

Yeah.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 51:05

Um.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 51:06

Yeah, I went and had a look at it for our bets, and I thought it said 7:00, so I might have been wrong. Um, where was I? Yeah, no, I, I played a little bit of Diablo IV. Not, not really my sort of game. I got a little bit bored with it. I didn't, um... Well, I didn't mind it. If I sat there and played it longer, I would probably get more immersed in it, but. So I ended up moving on to Construction Simulator because they're, um... I was saying that they've announced a new Construction Simulator that comes out at the end of this year. Construction Sim Evolution. I sent yous a video of it. Did yous watch it?

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 51:45

I watched parts of it, yeah. I didn't watch all of it. It doesn't look too bad, actually.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 51:51

it actually looks really good, and they're doing, like, the hand tools with the nail gun and all that shit, but they're doing demolitions and stuff like that. Like, I've, I played a little bit of it before. That's why I had it. Um, and then I've gone back in, restarted and all that, and sort of worked out how to do things and that, and, and I was sitting there all day swinging a digger, so yeah. Digging out a pool and stuff. But once you get a hang of it, it's actually really good, so. Yeah, I haven't really... I haven't been really in a mood this week for playing games. I've been watching TV more than anything, so yeah. We'll see how we go th- go this week. What are you doing, Zach? He's watching the boxing.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 52:39

Now me phone's stopped all-- being blurry and I can see properly. Still only the

_1_05-06-2026_205231 52:52

Oh, okay.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 52:54

So...

_1_05-06-2026_205231 52:54

See, I'd watch a lot more boxing than UFC if it wasn't pay-per-view.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 52:58

Yeah.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 52:59

not UFC. UFC, I get bored with the wrestling, but

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 53:03

tape. Still

_1_05-06-2026_205231 53:03

boxing I'd li- I'd, I'd watch a lot more.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 53:05

This is still, uh, this is still live. It's on-- Somebody's live on Facebook. I don't know who it is, but,

_1_05-06-2026_205231 53:11

Yeah, he'll get his ass kicked, I

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 53:14

it's Main Event actually.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 53:17

Oh, it's on main event.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 53:19

Yeah, on Main Event's page on Facebook.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 53:23

Yeah.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 53:23

They're still saying in the comments to buy pay-per-view to see the...

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 53:28

Yeah, that'll stop it for the main fight.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 53:32

Yeah. Yeah, I'd, I'd probably, I'd probably watch a lot more boxing if that wasn't the case, but that's the way it's always been, so

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 53:41

yeah.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 53:41

yeah. No,

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 53:42

I wanna

_1_05-06-2026_205231 53:43

I...

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 53:44

young fella won.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 53:46

I thought he was playing footy

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 53:48

tonight,

_1_05-06-2026_205231 53:49

I thought he was playing footy for the Rabbitohs.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 53:52

yeah. So...

_1_05-06-2026_205231 53:57

yeah, youse haven't got anything for games at all?

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 54:00

No, not really, no.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 54:02

I did find a m- I found a video of that mining game. Apparently it's been out for ages.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 54:06

good morning.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 54:08

hey,

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 54:09

Good morning.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 54:11

sent it to youuu, I think, or put it on the podcast thing.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 54:14

you?

_1_05-06-2026_205231 54:16

Probably, I don't know. I sent it to Fisky, and he said that it's been out for a while, and you can just about do everything that you can do at work, so. He says it's actually pretty good, but you need a controller for it.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 54:26

fuck all like you

_1_05-06-2026_205231 54:28

I don't do fuck all. I do heaps. Um,

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 54:33

yeah. You, you sent it, yeah, Mining Simulator, yeah.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 54:37

yeah.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 54:37

of different mining simulator games. The

_1_05-06-2026_205231 54:41

got Gold Mining Simulator on me Sony. I didn't really get into that one.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 54:45

Well, there's a number two coming out, I was reading.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 54:48

I think, I think if I have a look at the...

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 54:51

a lot better.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 54:53

Yeah, well, if that one's a lot better, I'll probably give it a go, I reckon. I, um, I don't mind those games.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 54:59

From what I've read and watched, it's very similar to your Farming Simulator. You, you buy your little plots and,

_1_05-06-2026_205231 55:07

Have you seen the, apparently there's a new DLC that's been re-released for Farming Simulator where it's got freaking wild pigs and shit on it.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 55:14

Yeah.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 55:16

Yeah. That's been out for a while, has

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 55:18

about three weeks.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 55:20

Yeah, I didn't know. I haven't played it for about three weeks.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 55:23

I'm interested, I was watching... 'Cause I've got a page on Facebook I follow Farming Simulator, I do for

_1_05-06-2026_205231 55:30

Yeah,

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 55:30

of my games.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 55:32

I do that for my games too, for...

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 55:35

somebody's actually released a Western Australian map, so I'm gonna download that mod, have a bit of a look at

_1_05-06-2026_205231 55:42

Yeah.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 55:42

see what it's like. 'Cause there's a lot of European, a lot of American maps and, yeah, get on there and see what the Western Australian map's like.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 55:52

Yeah.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 55:53

Big red kangaroos jumping through me paddocks instead of deers.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 56:01

Yeah.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 56:02

emus instead of chickens. Wonder what kind of price I'd get for an emu egg

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 56:10

Oh.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 56:11

instead of a pallet full of, full of chook eggs.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 56:14

N-nine box, nine box neg.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 56:21

yeah. Well, you just wanna do our bets then?

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 56:24

Me and Hoover have done ours. We've been

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 56:26

Ew.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 56:27

days for you.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 56:30

Yeah, well, tell me what yours are if yous have figured it out, 'cause I'm still struggling.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 56:35

Well, mine is the ones that I told you earlier.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 56:39

dragons thirteen plus.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 56:42

Surely you're not doing that again

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 56:45

Yeah, with Damien Cook and Val Holmes to score a hat-trick.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 56:48

Each, and

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 56:50

Yeah.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 56:52

Hmm.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 56:57

I've got an AFL and an, uh, EPL ga-games I have. Um, the AFL have gone Geelong Ca-Cats over Collingwood.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 57:08

Yeah.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 57:08

you went meanly

_1_05-06-2026_205231 57:11

So where'd you go? Um, Cats, and what was the other one?

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 57:15

Newcastle.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 57:18

over Forest. Yeah, I was thinking about the Manly one, but I just put the Manly one in there. And then I ch- and then I ended up changing it and added an extra hockey one to it.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 57:32

Yeah.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 57:33

one starts at nine o'clock in the morning.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 57:36

I just remembered what mine is.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 57:38

was yours?

_1_05-06-2026_205231 57:40

Warrington Wolves in the Challenge Cup, and they are playing, they're playing Hull KR.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 57:50

the J-

_1_05-06-2026_205231 57:52

I also had

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 57:53

think

_1_05-06-2026_205231 57:54

the Jets to win their first semi or final game.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 57:57

No.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 57:57

the

_1_05-06-2026_205231 58:00

Hey?

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 58:01

Sydney

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 58:01

gonna go much further.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 58:04

Sydney FC.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 58:06

That's not who I backed.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 58:10

I'm pretty sure that's who they're playing, isn't it?

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 58:12

is, and that's what I'm saying, Sydney FC will beat them.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 58:18

I'm, I'm gonna jump on the Jets. I think fair tally. So I got the Jets and the Wolves.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 58:26

Oh, we might as well not put our money on then.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 58:32

got?

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 58:34

I've got two 13 plus games.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 58:37

Mm.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 58:39

Both of them honest. You're doing the bets. I'm not sitting here trying to figure it out.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 58:44

I'm not, I don't have time to do it.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 58:46

Neither do I. I've gotta go put two kids to bed.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 58:49

I've got invoicing

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 58:50

already a bet.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 58:51

They're not.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 58:53

Um, the Rooters, 13 plus over the Gold Coast Titans.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 59:00

Yeah.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 59:01

And it fuck this pains me to say it.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 59:05

Broncos?

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 59:07

No, you're fucking disgusting. Go and wash your mouth out with soap, motherfucker.

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 59:13

No, Knights 13 plus.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 59:15

he's jumped on Man United to win 13 plus. What are you disgusted with? Parramatta?

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 59:25

No, I'm disgusted with you

_1_05-06-2026_205231 59:27

Ugh.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 59:28

thinking that I'd fucking back the Broncos to win 13 plus. Although very doable, well, if they played to their fucking potential. They're just useless fuckers.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 59:39

the bet?

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 59:40

the Knights 13 plus over the Very surprised with their odds. I got them at two dollars fifteen.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 59:49

For 13 plus.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 59:50

over the Dragons.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 59:52

Yeah. Well, see how we go anyway.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 59:56

Which was the shorter odds, 'cause one to 12 was $3 something.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 1:00:01

Yeah, well, yeah. Um, news, got anything else this way?

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 1:00:10

Shorty not

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 1:00:10

really.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 1:00:12

Hey.

beebop-host411_2_05-06-2026_205230 1:00:13

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 1:00:17

I didn't write them down, tell me them.

_1_05-06-2026_205231 1:00:19

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 1:00:21

_1_05-06-2026_205231 1:00:39

chicken-little_2_05-06-2026_205230 1:00:43

_1_05-06-2026_205231 1:00:44
