And so we had the first one, my one get up, a little $12 juicy on the Eels game. The one that we sort of fine-tuned for you only lost by one leg, I believe. That was $15. Yeah.

Really? I’ve been hooked ever since on the whole duck thing. Yeah. It’s never been as good. would have been chasing the white the duck dragon. Yeah, the duck dragon. Yeah, duck duck dragon. Um I’ve had duck fat potatoes. Oh, from Pacinos. No, from the rocks. Oh, yeah. Well, they do it at Pinos, too. But Friday loves them. But yeah, I I don’t think I’ve had duck before. Yeah, I just sort of stayed away from it. And then when I was in France, like yeah, it was just like everywhere had duck. And when in when in Rome when in Rome sort of thing. And I was like, “Yeah, I’ll have some duck.” Well, I had the frog legs, had the snails. Yeah. Thought I better have some duck. And it was like the greatest thing I’d ever tasted. So, well, and I’m not trying Just if you pick up on this this episode, I’m not trying to be rude. Um, but I’m going to be staring more this way as I’m talking to you cuz last week Oh, you twinged your neck. No, I was sitting like this the whole episode and then I couldn’t get to sleep there. My neck was Why don’t you just rotate the chair a tiny bit? Yeah, I could do that. But this I could do that. This helps me focus on look forward and then like then peek your eyes or just look purely look forward like we’re sitting across from you. I couldn’t imagine doing that. Just looking forward to just like you guys being over there. I’m not going to spend the whole episode looking forward. But you’re a weirdo, man. This you’re a weirdo. Yeah. So move your whole body, not just your neck. Yeah. Look. Yeah. Little rich weirdo. Glenn power. Should we play the game straight off the top or do you want to sort of ease into it? Yeah, that’s part of because we did just do a little tester down at the pub and it was um it was actually What was the strike rate of the Oh, terrible. I think Lexi got one right. Is that right, Lexi? How how many? Uh I won’t go through all of them. I’ll pick and choose. No. How many? Yeah. Can we I’ve got 20 each. Okay. Holy [ __ ] So, we’re not going to go through all. So, give me like give you the rundown. Yeah. Give me the rundown. Give me the rules. Set the rules, please. Okay. Okay. So, welcome back to YNI Sports. Tonight, we’ve got a new game segment. We’re going to be is it real or is it AI? The topic tonight, NFL names. I’m going to pass it over to my co-hosts Steve and Brandon with a name and they’ll have to decide if it’s a real NFL name or an AI generated NFL style name. Okay. So, so let’s just Yeah. So, do we say if we both want to guess the same thing, can we do that and then it’s like first to five or something? Yeah, let’s just do that. It’s first and then we can both get it wrong, you know. Yeah. Yeah, that’s exactly right. Lexi, can you keep score for us over there? Is that possible? I’ve got I’ve got a pen here, actually. Keep score. So, so these are AI generated. It’s both. It’s both. So, I’m going to chuck out a name. We got to say whether it’s real or fake. Is it real or fake? Yeah. And then if it’s right, you get a point. And it’s the first of five. But there’s not real people’s names in there that haven’t played in the NFL. It’s No, the real names are all people that have played NFL. Yeah. The fake names have never played NFL. So, I can’t say one and you’d be like and I’ll be like, it’s fake. And you’re like, I know he played and then I look it up and he actually played. But I’ve done that. It’s Blaze Lono Wong [ __ ] I don’t know who that is. Whatever. Okay. Last week. Yeah. Blazing Lono Wongo. We’re going to start off with an easy one. We’re going to start off with Jean David Booty. So, say that again. John David Booty. Well, I know there’s a general booty. Yeah. Someone in Rocky with the last name Booty. So, based on that, I know someone with that last name. I reckon it’s real. I think that’s fake. It is real. Right. One nil, baby. Well, yeah, he doesn’t like the game when he loses, right? Okay, next one. The realist Clark. That’s real. Yeah, real. It’s real. Yeah, because like I know that one. It sounds too fake to be fake. No, but I actually know that one. Yeah. So, do we then both get a point? Both get a point. All right. Well, I’m happy with that. Yep. 2-1 Brando. Tyberus Cartwright sounds like a rugby league name. If anything, I’m gonna say fake on that one. Yeah, I say fake too because that sounds like AI generated. Cart rides. It’s like a real name and it’s not unique enough to be It’s got a bit of rugby league about it. Like Bryce can’t your AI bots got lots of rugby league stuff. Yeah. Fake. Yeah. Thank you, Brando’s three to two. Three from three, baby. Yeah, let’s go. You know, I should get I should have got a half a point for saying general booty. No, on that first one, but that’s why I threw the first one out there to see if you were like, “Yeah, but I knew it.” But yeah, whatever. Look at the moon. Look at the moan. Look at the moan. Moility. That’s real. No, it can’t be. Ding, ding, ding. What? He’s right. So 33. You’re almost giving yourself away. I know. I know. Cuz you said it with that much conviction. Like, you know what? I shouldn’t say. I do. But I do know that one. Yeah. But you’re giving yourself away. Like you’re playing a game here. Okay. Well, it should be the first to buzz in then because it’s three all now. So, yeah, actually might have to. We’ll do that next week. Maybe you got so many we go again next week. Yeah, we could do that. All right. Three all. Alante Cribs. Alante Cribs. I’m going to say real. I’m going to say fake. It’s fake. [ __ ] Bit of Steven Bradbury over here. No, the Bradbury himself. Steve’s up 43 here. So now now you look at the you ask the question and go sounds AOI generated. Now you ask the question if I’m not draw on this next one. Do I just say the opposite of Steve to try get a point or you lose sudden death. Yeah. Yeah. Do I play the game or do I say what I really think? The match point. There’s a game within the game point. Well, there’s depth to the game. You can’t see. Yeah. Correct. There always is. Sponsored by the book of Eli. Shout out match point here to Steve. 43. What do you got? Jaquan Zealers. Real. Real fake. Wow. I was pretty confident on that. These were both very confident. Just what’s the first name? Jaquan. That just sounds like a college name written all over. Yeah, it does. And um I guess it probably maybe it drew some like genuine first and last names, but mixed the combos up possibly like popular maybe American football names is the vibe I’m getting over here. Like it it made it made a name. Popular name. Just continue. Steo Javantrell Mixon. Oh, see that’s like you just said Joe Mixon is an NFL player. Could it be his brother or cousin? I reckon they’ve gone for the stitch up. I’m going to say fake. Fake. Yeah, same. You both got it right. But Steve is the first of five. Steve’s the first. Yeah. See? Yeah. There’s a game you don’t see. Good game, brother. Thank you for joining us on Sports Game. Is it real? Is it AI? We’ll be back next week. Steve wins 54. See, bring back the segments, man. But see, like, how could we tell that? See, maybe AI is not as smart as predictable, right? Like, it just it’s not it has not passed the touring test. Oh, I think it’s passed the touring. It hasn’t, bro, because you can tell like we could tell. No, it passed the touring test maybe like two months ago. So, basically, well, it’s not going to pass my Turing. It’s not going to pass the asking test. The touring test back in 1942 was whether the NFL names it picks are going to be real or not. But when in a literal laboratory setting and they try and say, “Right, you’re going to talk with someone on a chatbot and you have to tell if it’s human or not.” More times than not, it’s not passing my test, brother. They did the test. They couldn’t tell. Yeah, but the test is flawed then. Yeah. They need they need a super human. They need they need me. They need that. They need a 1enter. Well, the 1% is, you know, that’s an outlier in the data set. Exactly. You got to have the average people, bro. Well, that’s Elon Musk could probably talk to it and be like, “That’s fake. That’s real.” But he’s not the average person. That’s what I mean. So AI, we got nothing to worry about yet. Cuz if they can’t [ __ ] If they can’t beat me, Yeah. If they Well, that’s right. I can’t beat you. Sleep got nothing to worry about. Sleep deprived, malnourished, [ __ ] alcoholic. Probably on the brink of 17 different chronic diseases. Psychosis. Organ failure. See psychosis. See psychosis. Gambling addict. Yeah. Still outsmart it. And I can smoke that thing. I can smoke that team. I can smoking that again. Shout out Johnny Hamch check. Yeah. So on the back of that the Passover. Yes. You’ve got the tickets. I’ve got the tickets everyone. So I’ve I’ve I’ve leaked a few times on this show. I am visiting the US of a at the end of the year everyone. Uh and look there’s a bit of hindsight about this which I’ll get to in a sec but bit of Nathan Horn Marsh about it. So when I went to Europe a few years ago now, I got tickets on a resale to an EPL on the podcast when you went to Europe. Yeah. Right. Remember we went we were doing live streams and [ __ ] Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Anyway. Anyway, fun times. Digress. Once I was in Amsterdam, we used playing online thing. Live streaming. Online thing. Online hours. Hours. Brandon, I need to top me up. Anyway. Yeah. So, yeah, that was all just by chance. We had our trip pre- booked and I was like, “Well, it’d be great to see a EPL game. Just happened to be the first round. Um, I’m in London. Arsenal’s first games at home. Perfect. Jump on a resale site, get the tickets, somehow get this little members upgrade, get free piss at halftime. Thought it was the best thing ever.” Anyway, so now as like a somewhat of an EPL fan by default, I’m like, “Well, I have to be an Arsenal fan.” It was just in the gods that I seen that team first. They were at home. I kind of like the team. Sucker, my boy. Arsenal’s my team. Right. Makes sense. So now you I’ve come to USA. My main objective of this trip was to try watch as much American uh sport as possible. Be awesome if I could snag a UFC, but yeah, NFL, NBA. Don’t think ice hockey lines up anyway. That’s all right. So, we booked the uh flights over and maybe a month or two ago, we booked we chose the places we wanted to see and actually booked those flights. But in hindsight, if this didn’t come off, I could have missed it all together. So, we’ve already booked the places, how many nights in each of into flights are booked and the schedule comes out and I’m looking, I’ve got all the venues like opened up going, “Fuck, Vegas, N, San Fran, N.” And I’m going, “Holy fuck.” Like I go all this way. New York. I’ll go all this way and no no no no home games line up cuz as we know Yeah. Just you’re at the mercy of the draw. Mercy of the draw and just it is what it is. Anyway, come along to this Chargers Raiders you beauty. It lines up. We’re in LA on the last few days of our trip. So I put put this to you boys and we mentioned on another episode uh many months ago. I don’t technically follow an NFL team. Is is this the is this the reasoning? Is this the gods choosing my team for me because I can’t choose a team? Kind of like the EPL scenario. Uh obviously I’m more bullish on NFL Chargers at home. I don’t mind the Chargers as a team. Firstly, is that a sign that I already pre-ooked this trip? This is the only one that lined up. So, it’s sort of like the same as the socket. It was just I’m meant to be I didn’t I didn’t rig it in any way to go I’m going to go this place whereas in hindsight I wish I waited so I then maybe could have done the trip booked the trip around it. Yeah. Yeah. Booked the trip around it but I was like I can’t wait forever. These flights will just keep going through the roof. So anyway so what are your thoughts on that firstly boys? It is a sign. That is let’s just get that on record. Let’s get that on record. Everything could be a sign, you know, but that is an actual sign. That’s an actual sign. It’s our job here as selectors, breadcrumb finders, line readers, like to obviously determine the signs of Chinese ancestry. Correct. It’s similar to job applications. Still up. Still live. Yes. Now, extended for 48 hours. Yeah. Do you want to renew this ad? Yes. Yes. UFC when they’ve got a title that’s like in contention, the um champion has been stripped of the belt, they call it a interim interim. Your interim team was the Texas Houston Texans. We needed that for last year when we were doing our our show. So I am not going to hold it against you if you don’t stick with them. I think it was more to Steve’s like I used to play as Miami on Madden and I was like well I used to play as Houston when I first started playing Madden let’s just run with that. So at the time that was the sign it wasn’t really you said for a long time with conviction I couldn’t hand on heart say this is the team I’m going to follow till the day I die. Yeah I think this is the one and now hand on heart because God’s given you a sign. feel better about it cuz it’s like it could have been any team and I just would have come up with the same conclusion going well this just lined up by absolute happen stance. I’ve got to take the breadcrumbs of life. Pick the cherry from the tree. Yeah. From behind the tree. Yeah. Yeah. Where um NL Odd Stats is only picking them from the front of the tree. Correct. Well, because God’s given you a sign and by default that basically has given me a sign because he’s given you a sign knowing that we are in a a trio here. Yeah. Um, so he’s going to ride on my coattails here. No. So, he’s also given me and Jack a sign even though he’s given you the sign, but he’s given us your sign’s a little bit different. Yeah. There was a sign within the sign. A complimentary sign. Yeah. It’s like a sign up to interpretation. It’s like the uh braille you see on a on a on a disabled toilet. For you, it’s up to interpretation. For someone else, it’s clear as day. Clear as day. Exactly. Or one of those things they hold up in like one of those um psychological tests where it’s like raw shack. What’s that? The raw shack test. Yeah. Where it’s like ink on a [ __ ] and you say, “What do you see first?” If you see an apple, they’re like, “Oh, you’re saying if you’re like, I see my mom kill my father and deadly night.” They’re like, “You might be insane.” Yeah. Yeah. So, just like that. God’s giving you a sign just like that. And I’ve come along and now my home team is the uh Las Vegas Raiders. Raiders. The team. That is a good sign. Actually, I’m I didn’t know where you were going with that for the longest time. I was like, you can’t just jump on the charges. That’s like I was I was picking up what you were putting down. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I’m all with Vegas is sort of your personality. Home where the heart is. My heart’s in Vegas. Your personality hands down. And my heart might actually be donated in Vegas when we move there. Because if I become an organ donor, that’s where it’s going to stay. Yeah. For reasons underslo undisclosed on me. But if you’re a Chinese OPM line reader, then you’re picking up what I’m putting down. Yeah. Now, the second thing here, I can’t remember if I put in the chat, but excuse me if I did. I don’t think I did. How much do you think I paid for these tickets? 1,500. Nah, he wouldn’t paid that much, can’t you reckon? So, how much do you think I paid for two tickets in total? Yeah. Oh, not? Nah, there’s no way you paid three grand. I’d say 1,500. Yeah, that’s what I’m sort of think. I’m going to go 12. [ __ ] how much? Just think just think this is I went there to watch NFL and this this was the only game that lined up. So, and let me just add a little bit of context. When I went to buy these tickets, a lot of the tickets aren’t even you can’t even buy cuz they go straight to members. On top of that, there’s some other thing where you had to have a code to then buy these other tickets. So if you were just non-member, non whatever this other thing was nonchalant. Um six lakh great song. Um there wasn’t many to choose from. So bearing all that is a membership cost per year. Yeah. See, I’m not sure. I think it’s a bit of a rich man’s like game. Well, bro, it is because we were up in the [ __ ] nosebleleeds when we seen uh Lakers versus [ __ ] whoever. Um, yeah, we were in the nose beds when I saw the 76ers versus the Nuggets still. And see, they were like 380, I’m pretty sure. Well, I think our family, the one I stayed with, I think they were 76 members, but we were still in the nosebleleeds cuz he brought me, his two sons, and himself. Yeah. And yeah, I’m pretty sure that Yeah. Yeah. Maybe he did pay a little bit more. Anyway, 1,900 for two tickets. Yeah. Right. M which I just look at it and I went it’s bit of a one in a lifetime. This was like one of the reasons I wanted to go over there mate and anyway they’re pretty decent decent cuz I’m going to say [ __ ] you want to hope show you actually see and it’s actually a sick like there were tickets right up the back and I just went there’s no way I’m going all that way. Well we hope it’s not once in a life. Yeah for sure. Well you hope it’s cuz when we went bro we we only seen ice hockey and baseball. So that’s the view there. Like it’s solid. It’s solid. Oh, that Oh, yeah. Okay. Yeah. No, that’s that is ripper. Yeah. So, anyway, I’m very excited, boys. Very excited. You know how some games are just are better on TV? Like Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Shout out to the NFL for having the most shout out to it. Shout out to it for having the most they’d have to have the most expensive tickets like they’re they’re um out of all the stadiums out of all the teams that are for sale every year, right? I think they would make the most per seat across the sports they would have to corporate. Yeah. When you think about corporate boxes not just him like that seat at Suncorp costs 100 bucks. Yeah, exactly. that that seat in the members box in the EPLL, even though it’s, you know, on like the EPL is this great big sport, I highly doubt your TW 20,000 person little stadium at Aston Villa. They’re not going to charge you 1,900 for two seats. Well, the EPL was like, cuz it was on a resale, it’s probably a bit more expensive. Even that was only like Yeah. Uh 400 a seat, which is still quite expensive, but 800 in total. So, exactly. So I think yeah if you let’s just say out of all the stadiums out of all the games they might sell there might be for sale let’s just say seats let’s just say a million seats over the season right there’s a million seats for sale I think if they were to sell every single seat every single game for the season they would make the most out of all sports UFC would be up there bro definitely like if McGregor and like if you’re sitting cage side at some of those fights Yeah. What’s that? 20 G’s. Yeah. You’d be paying like for a McGregor fight, you’d be paying like 50 grand for Yeah. I think it is 50 grand. But like you think about it, they’re only that’s only like one card per per year. Yeah. There’s only one card really, an actual card per month. Yeah. And so you’ve got to think about that as well. Like these guys are chucking on uh 12 games a week I think. And Lord, all those stadiums, they’re not all sold out, but they’d be Are you talking um NFL? NFL. Yeah. What is that? 32 teams. So half 16 teams. There’s 16 games. Sorry. 16 games per week or one with a buy. So maybe there’s 15 14 games. I don’t know. Yeah. Some weeks there’s not buys. Yeah, that’s right. Yeah. So yeah, but because like that game like do you think like if the game was say the Eagles versus the Kansas City Chiefs in Philadelphia while you were there? Way more. I think so. Yeah. But would then like the Colts verse the Texans be a lot cheaper? I think so. Without Without knowing. Yeah. Still pretty crazy they can charge that. Like that’s Oh, yeah. It’ be cool. Like I know the Raiders got like a top 10 draft running back like uh pick. So, they’ll have a new fresh running back there. And Raiders are kind of dust, but they’re all right. And how what round is it when you go and watch this game? Is it It’s round nine. Oh yeah, right in the middle of it. That’s good. That’s real good. Yeah, for sure. Um, just had to ask you, I guess I can ask you on air. UFC, is there typically UFC on mid November to early December? Say, say in Vegas sort of the biggest one there is. Yeah, time. And how far in advance do do they get announced? Months. Months. I reckon they won’t be announced now. I reckon June. They’ll do the rest of the year. And they’ll say these are the dates and all that. Like I remember I was when I went over in Vegas and I was trying to see if I could get a fight while I was over there. I was still looking up. You get you get you get a fight over there. You trying to get You said you were trying to get one. I was looking Yeah. I was looking to get a start over. Yeah. Me and the cheese were just going head to toe outside the Bellagio car park. Nice. Yeah. Right. So I’ll keep eyes peeled side. So just to put in context, bro, they do one pay-per-view a month. So they’ve already got UFC 316, 17, 18, and 19 booked. So they’ll be up to all September. Yeah. Yeah. They won’t do the rest of the year until June, I reckon. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Cool. Good stuff. I reckon what do you reckon? They probably announced McGregor. He’s never coming back. Look at the moon. He’s never coming back, brother. That’s all right. And I’m okay with that. Very happy for you to be over there experiencing all the sport. Did you you said you wanted to watch as much American sport as you could. Did you just Well, basketball’s still currently on. So, till this current season’s done, like probably won’t know for maybe 3 months when that schedule comes out. The beauty with basketball is on every day, multiple games a day. If at least one or two don’t line up like Yeah, that’ll just be an absolute um baseball I think is just starting around that time. I think I’m not sure about baseball. I think so. When are you going over? November. November. Mid November like 17th I believe. Oh, you’re going over in the winter time. Yeah, I know. Yeah. Beautiful. Y, bro, because the thermals, brother. Because um Chloe’s sort of accustomed to doing a bit of BTS with um Sports Now. Yeah, Sports Now. That’s what I want to get into as well. What sort of content should I be producing over there? Well, can you like almost um dip your little toes in the uh metaphorical water here for me and Jack of being this like Australian correspondent? us. Yeah. I’m out the front of the stadium with the like a lapel. Like we should get a Ned’s one actually so you can do some stuff over there. Oh, bro. Interview a few fans at the W the tailgate. Would you actually do that? I would. I would genuinely. Holy [ __ ] Yeah. No, we need to air. We need to seriously talk about that. No. As if as if wouldn’t do something like that. In the air. Yeah. In the air. up the air. On the air whilst on air beautiful and off air and off head. So let’s Well, there’s a couple other Scat Autumns here, but I think the NRL this week has been big enough for us to just get straight into that and be a big meaty chunk of this episode. So much to discuss. Uh did you want to kick us off, Brandos? Well, can I kick us off? Yeah, you kick us off. cuz I wasn’t confident. Yeah, let’s change up. Let’s change Well, let’s talk about those triads cuz that’s like interesting. Oh, yeah. Actually, yeah, that is everyone’s talking about it. Let’s talk about it. So, firstly, where do you rank that in like last couple years? We’re talking Are we talking Marky Mark’s try first? Mark. Yeah, we going Mark. Let’s unpack here. Let’s just unpack here. Okay. Get the ball. There’s a couple criteria. grade three school uh that like a try needs to meet, right? Yeah. Does it have context? So, important thing for a try. That’s actually good. That wouldn’t be the first thing on the criteria. The first thing would be like does the ball did he ground the ball sort of thing, you know? Yeah. But I’m saying is it a great try? No, I know. No, but that’s what I’m saying. Like that’s actually not many people would put that in, bro. I think athletic I think. So, yeah. So let’s just go through the criteria. First thing of the criteria for me is context. Is it a grand final? Is it to win a grand final after the hood? Is it a is it some rivalry and you know like there was those years that bring Brisbane and Cowboys went back and forth and back and forth. So that’s context, right? So you got that first criteria. Hat off the bat. Hat off the bat. Where the [ __ ] Um I was going to ignore that. Water water off Pat’s back in the Cat in the Hat off the bat. Yeah. Um Yeah, that’s like water off Pat’s back there. Yeah. So, context first criteria. Yeah. Second, I think was is probably athletic ability. And then third, it’s probably like the prettiness of it, the aesthetics of it. For sure. I think I think one of them is you’ve got to ask yourself, if I had a hundred goes at that, could I do that myself? Yeah. And that’s how I when we get into this in a sec, that’s how I look at these ones and go, “Was that actually that good?” Yeah. So, like man in the mirror stuff like really have a good hard look at yourself. Yeah. Yeah. I I would I’d be keen to ask you that question because I know me any of those tries I could try a thousand times. My life could be on the line. It would be Well, you you failed the um one of the criteria, bro. the a theatic ability athletic ability. Have our resident natural athlete here. Yeah. Like so let’s let’s just get straight into that. You ask yourself in the mirror mano to mano self to self eye to eye. Michael Jackson man in the mirror style. Correct. Great song. 100 times you could try that. Could you pull it off? The Marki. Yeah, I think so, man. Okay. Y see I know there’s a bit of luck and like bit of timing in it that he might have got lucky but I think yeah it was would have my brain thought to skip off the same foot twice maybe not but see but seeing it now and could I do it? Yes possibly. Okay. So, that’s and that’s an important factor here, guys, is once seeing it, do I think I could replicate it or Yeah. would I have come up with that? Well, well, that was the fourth criteria I was going to throw in. Has have you ever seen anything like this before? I don’t know cuz I know you don’t or does this happen every week? Allah coyot taking a specky on someone’s shoulders happen once around in AFL every week like someone takes a specky like that in at least once around so like in terms if you’re defaulting back to this um what was our English teacher’s name Miss Moore yeah Miss Moore’s criteria of um scoring Miss Moore’s criteria of centurics tries. Yeah. Yeah. I like that. I really like that. It’s like a [ __ ] Rald D book. Miss Moore’s criteria of Centur Centur’s a great work. You’ve been dollop. There was one last week. I can’t remember. Centuric. That’s Oh, mate. You seriously, you need to stay off the grog. Once you start committing to this podcast, stars are out. We’re going to the moon. We’re going to the moon. Stay out of my slipstream. Yeah. So Miss Moore’s criteria century tries. Yes. Um what uh what was Yeah. So that that’s where sort of cozy fails the Yes. Uh in that aspect like in there it wasn’t like an extreme athletic feat sort of thing. But I actually disagree because I tell you this. I reckon if they had a little tracker in the ball, I reckon that is the highest ball ever caught off the ground in the NRL. I think so. I would say his tall his his height height. Sorry. Yeah, I was his tall. His height and then the ability to jump up on another man’s shoulders who’s also quite tall. Not height. Quite tall and then also catch. I reckon that would have to be the highest ball court in NRL history. Yeah, for sure. I I I would agree with that. So that sort of throws that little athletic ability out the window. No, but I know what you’re saying. Aesthetically, we see it every week. Yeah. It wasn’t like Yeah. It wasn’t because like there’s [ __ ] doing that in local Swanies are doing that, you know, in local AFL. Yeah. Steve Asin for the Glenmore Bulls used to do that. Steven Green who that same Steve Asin got suspended for two games for kneing someone in the back of the head. Really? Yes. But and I’m going what? Like as in like like they they suspended me for fair play, but I was like I was taking a specky like Yeah. What did you expect was going to happen? Obviously seeing a bit of malice behind there could have been a bit of malice. Yeah, there definitely was not. But stop seeing my Mrs. Shannon [ __ ] made me sick my stomach. You made me sick my stomach. Yeah. Well, I wouldn’t go for a flying [ __ ] knee. I’m not [ __ ] um You couldn’t punch him. I’m not [ __ ] JD. Your wrist would break. Flying knee to [ __ ] flying knee to the Well, let’s just put them side by side and then after this I want to throw another one in the equation. So, let’s just talk these two ones on the weekend. So, context of the game. I feel like Markx was better uh because the game was a lot tighter at the stage of when that try was scored. I think that one then put him back up which then doggies bounced back after that try. So you could say, yeah, context of the game quite important. Coat Coat’s try was like I think they still 12 behind or something, right? But it was to try and get it was still crawling back. It was still crawling back. So yeah, maybe on par. Uh the second the second criteria of uh well Mrs. Mos tries scoring. No, you go. I can’t get it. Mrs. Mo’s criteria of centuric tries. Yes. Yes. So what’s the second what’s the second criteria there? So we had context cont and then it second was athletic ability. Athletic ability. Could you do coats? You just me as my height and my current thing you would say no. Yeah. Could you do coats? Well, yeah. See that’s See, this is what I’m Could you do marks? Yeah. Yes. No. Well, but No, you could. No. Yes. No. Yes. But are we saying we’re us or we’re saying we’re them? No. No. No. No. No. This is you guys. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, I can do anything. But but on this right anything guard’s possible. Shut that down. Like right now, no, I’m not that tall for coats as one and don’t have the vertical jump or flexibility in the Achilles, whatever you want to call it. Whereas Mark Yeah. Whereas the Marky Mark one, it was like it was more just ass like Yeah. No, he just skipped off the left ankle. You could do that, bro. You could skip off the left ankle while sort of jogging to the right. Do we need to try this? Yeah, possibly. Could this be a Ned’s real? Shout out Ned. Yeah, that’s that’s I have the ambulance on standby on standby. I won’t be doing any of it because last time I was at those touch fields. I ended up with a 28 times dislocated shoulder. I’m not sure how we test to sue you, but I’m happy to test cuz I I can I can say with a bit of conviction I can do the Marky Mark one. I’m pretty sure I’m pretty sure the the boys have um kicking machine. No, they have old boys have like dummies like you know how tackle dummies have tackle dummies or they’ve or they’ve at least got backpacks like um like so I can jump on your thing and Yeah. Where you can specky on me. Well, you be specking on Brando. Yeah. And then who’s be coming up behind me and who’s putting up the absolute dimes on the uh Yeah. Well, it’s not him. No, it’s me. Uh anyway, we’ll have to get like Yeah. But okay, let’s move on. Aesthetically, whose was aesthetically more pleasing? Well, I think KY’s was aesthetically more pleasing. Yeah, end of the day, Marky Marks was the reason can’t see if you look in this in a nonbias, non [ __ ] don’t put your heart in it [ __ ] ra, which is how I like to gamble. It’s how I like to view the world. Marky Marks. The reason people are saying it’s [ __ ] trial and they’ve never seen it before. They’ve never seen it before in the group. They’ve never seen it before. They’ve never And it’s pretty rare in NRL 11 12 years now. I think we’ve been going close to 18 or something. Yeah. For a new try to happen. It’s pretty rare for a new for sure. Cuz once upon a time they would have been saying that [ __ ] about [ __ ] Oh, the the kick over the no the kick to the corner. The chip and chase. Yeah. Yeah. Or or [ __ ] Don with Tanny [ __ ] t having his whole body out the [ __ ] sideline hitting the corner post and you know but now which it did all happen. That all did happen. That’s what I mean. That’s that’s [ __ ] that’s common place now for that possible it’s replicated for sure but with Marky Marks that’s no one has ever seen that before and then throw the ass in there that the ball [ __ ] just missed the line bounced up perfectly perfectly and he’s able to still contort his body to get the grounded with this much in the corner for sure but what I wanted to riddle with these boys. Uh Coats’s other try from last year. I think that’s better than both of these ones. That’s where that’s where when people going try the sentry, try the century on my bra. I’m pretty sure even last year though when we brought it up, you weren’t that impressed with it. No, I was super bullish on it. Yeah. No, I do think the same cuz I think that one Yeah, that one was maybe a little bit of ass as well. He launched like 6 m. got duted and still like shaped his body well enough like his whole body was out by the ball in in the air. And you’ve also got to make I think that people don’t realize it’s not like GTA where you can just sort of like move yourself in the air. You can’t move yourself in the air. Hate to You’re telling me real life’s not like GTA. So he had to in a micro because I’ve been lightning up down the street here [ __ ] shooting guns and [ __ ] He had to in a microcond when he did that try last year make the jump to account for getting DS to then like Yeah. So to me that trumps any try I think I’ve ever seen. Yeah, I agree. Which is why that was my main disagreement with people going the greatest I’ve ever seen and this is more criteria. So in my head I’m like all these people saying it’s the greatest try I’ve ever seen. In my head I’m going about 50% of them if you were down at the park you could do a similar thing is all I was it’s just like Steve said like I said we’ve never seen it before. Never seen it before. So can’t [Music] yeah both case closed. They’re both um athletic [ __ ] run-of-the-mill tries. Do them every week down at local grade. Yeah, you’ll see it on a real next week. I’ll I’ll do it. Come down to Vicky Park [ __ ] on Friday or Saturday. You see that [ __ ] every other day. All right, let’s get into the origin. Let’s Well, firstly, Steo, what are your initial thoughts? So, where’s Origin? Next week. Uh, yeah, this bit over a week, bro. Yanks Wednesday. Holy [ __ ] So, my initial thoughts. So, the Blues dropped on Sunday. you seen that come out. Then you obviously got to wait another 12 hours for Queensland to drop their team list. Firstly, what was your thoughts on the Blues team list? Good team. It’s a decent looking team. Yeah, it’s a decent team, right? Let’s not let’s not beat around the bush. Let’s not bag them. They had some hard decision to make a strong team. It’s a very strong team and they had some hard decisions to make regarding Clearary and Moses and Lui. Um Jake Troy, Tom Tboy. Yeah. Well, they didn’t have to. Jake’s got made for him concussion, but his 11 day or whatever comes back. I think he technically still could have played. Yeah, but it’s his second concussion in like two weeks or something, which is interesting. It’s like would he have actually even still made it? I believe he would have. I honestly do believe he would have and I think they probably would have left like Max King out to be 100% honest with you. That’s fair. I can So I think that they sort of, you know, just went with the went with the rolled with the punches and went right Jakey out, Max King in. Yeah. You know what I mean? He’s shout out Max King up the doggies, my boy. That’s a good That’s a good achievement sneaking into the 17 there. Yeah. Sort of surprise a little bit. Like I know dogs are humming and he’s a bit of a workhorse. I think for the I think for the average fan it was a surprise, but I think for the people behind the scenes once it got announced, you could all see them say like, “Yeah, his time was coming.” Um he is just like like their criteria of Centurion uh tries. Yeah. or selections. He probably met a lot of that criteria. And I think this is where they’ve like this is where we’ve said so long for so long with the New South Wales side. They always just pick the best team on paper where there’s so much other criteria. What’s their character like? What’s their drive like? Do they gel well with the team? Which we’ll get into Terrell May shortly. But well, that’s that’s that’s what I was just about to say, man. Queensland always seem to pick like one random. It’s almost like that’s in their criteria. Their actual selection criteria throw them off because like you have to you put an Adam Moog in there like when when Mogy played [ __ ] that series or whatever. He was the CRA winger like [ __ ] no one knows his name. Like who the [ __ ] is Robert Toya [ __ ] Like you know what I mean? I was like I don’t even know. Does that [ __ ] even play rugby league card? He’s rooster center. Yeah. Now I know. Not going to lie, I didn’t know who he was. I was like, “Who the [ __ ] is that cunt?” And I [ __ ] said, “Cump [ __ ] fight UFC.” I’m pretty sure he just bought Max Holloway [ __ ] he’s Ilaptori’s cousin. Yeah. Yeah. I’m pretty sure he just knocked out Max Holloway kind of belt. Definitely definitely part of the um Queensland criteria. Like if you went down to the pub and go to someone, do you love Say Origin? Are you rugged fan? Yes. Do you know who Robert Foyer is? I reckon more than I’d be like, “Yeah, I went to school with him.” Yeah. Yeah. I just seen him fight these days. Yeah. Um I reckon Yeah. More people rather than not wouldn’t know who he is. Yeah. Let’s see. [ __ ] Queensland always do that, man. They throw these random [ __ ] like I remember when Moa Fa Yeah. When he got selected the first time, I was like, who is that? Exactly. That last year, man. But he killed it. He killed it. I think you know what? Okay, just real quickly guys, this is my smokey. I think Robert Toya is going to put Latrell on his [ __ ] ass. He’s a beast, bro. And absolutely blow cuz you know you got Gill there being like, oh, you know, we saw it today. He’s going, “Yeah, Cameron, run me through Billy’s selection here. We’ve got the origin Latrrell which is way more better than the club Latrrell and he’s the X factor and you wouldn’t want to go up against anyone in that team other than like you wouldn’t want to go up against anyone other than Latrrell blah blah blah blah blah and then Cam Smith sort of just laid out the thing. I think he is the Smokey that is just going to blow everyone away and Latril is gonna have nothing for him. That’s my that’s that’s based on nothing. I just told you so I don’t even know who he is. Yeah, but that is just based on my intuitive intuitive part of my brain and he is going to smoke lum he’s actually been [ __ ] shredding like cuz obviously I’m a big fantasy player and yeah he’s and he’s solid man like he’s What do you think about DC getting a nod there? Absolutely. Yeah. I I’ve got I think Origin DC and are next level like he goes Super Saiyan on the Origin which some of these BS do which we we all talk about you know this is this is why there’s some blo you see as you’re a little top playing footy and you all go he’s going to play NRL he’s going to play NRL you’re certain of it because he’s just years beyond but for whatever happens when they get to the big blinding lights they just don’t perform whereas the others like the Cam monsters and stuff you remember everyone used to say that about Cam Oh, he couldn’t even really play footy. He was never on anyone’s radar in school footy when we were all playing and he ends up being this elite legend of Queensland state of origin. But it’s just that can you perform in that pressure cooker and yeah, I think that and he can. Yeah, DC can do that. He Pong can Ponga can do that. I’m glad they picked Kalen Ponga. Real glad they did that. He had some other little young guns like [ __ ] kicking down the door. You know, there was Jai Gray getting sort of, you know, tossed he I don’t he’s a long way to to even get a starting spot uh week in week out. Glad they went KP. There was there was a few other ones which just reading the comments of some social media, they thought Cory Horses got snubbed there, not getting a look for the Queensland boys again. Yeah, I will admit he has been playing pretty well for the Raiders. Yeah. Is that is that uh form bias cuz Raiders are playing well? Like is he actually playing that well? The thing that I would say that I think he would go well in that Queensland team is I don’t even think his form has been like enough to get him in. It’s that dog mentality of like what he brings to a Ford pack of like that aggression that anger that just go hard that like be able to lift the boys in that moment of need you know whereas I don’t think like Yeah. Everyone’s gassed after 25 he comes on just makes an impact. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And just like we’ll play through injury cuz he played was it maybe a game last year a game or two. Yeah. I thought maybe it was the year before but I’m not 100% sure. He definitely had an origin. Oh 100%. I remember him playing. Yeah. I remember him crying when his dad was there watching the game with him and stuff like that. Like I fully remember that. And then like last year they had that weird relationship him and Ricky where he dropped down to reserve grade. Now he’s back and he like some boys obviously just need that to be like get a bit of a check and say like mate you’re not up to standards. You need to go back down. You’re not the Uncle Ricky knows how to get the best out of his boys. He just absolutely needed a little reality check and yeah I think he’s doing better for it. You’ve got the likes of I was I was pretty confident and I’m happy to stand here being wrong that Tedesco was gonna get another look in just he’s been playing good this year. new coach like there’s no um there’s no favoritism from when you’re coaching the year before and you’ve you at that time you picked Dill Edwards over Tedesco like new coach it’s like well Teddy’s the better player I’ve got no uh loyalty to D Edwards here you know I wasn’t the one who picked him last year so should I go the inform player but he’s obviously looked at it and gone Teddy’s on the back end of his career he’s had his time in the spotlight at Origin let’s move towards the future blues which looking at it you go yeah that makes sense that’s 100% what it is and that’s why I think he’s made the right decision because like Teddy has had his time there was that big am last year you know they’re sacking the incumbent captain you know I don’t think they want it was a huge call I don’t think they want to have to do that again so I think they go right Teddy you were talking even though you’re playing better than Dylan right now we’re trying to get away from picking the best players on paper we’re trying to think of the future we’re trying to think of this new team jelling together and playing for years to come to hopefully give us Queenslanders, you know, a bit of a [ __ ] And it’s probably almost a disrespect to pick Teddy to then have to not pick him next year. Next year. Like you’re just doing you’re just putting him through the ringer twice, right? Exactly. Exactly. So, I think they made the right decision there. I really do. And then Yeah. L I actually thought they might have stuck with the winning formula for game one. I believe so, too. I thought they were going to go. I thought Clearary was going to get dropped because Clearary hasn’t been playing good. Yeah. And it’s like they’re fourth. They’re the bottom four of the table right now. And it’s Yeah, it’s like clear he hasn’t proved his worth in the Origin arena only. It’s like he hasn’t really done great things at Origin with that blue. No one can really recall him like having these blinders whereas Moses has done quite odd. Yeah. Whereas you go the boys got the job done last year just out of respect, out of winning bias. Do you put them back in? But obviously not. I think if you’re trying to culture, I think it’s if you’re trying to instill culture and you’re trying to copy Queensland’s formula of like, you know, you you want to die for that jersey and like, you know, you even if someone’s not in form, you pick and stick. You stick with the players. You don’t just chop and change and go, “All right, well, now this B’s injury free. He’s ahead of you even though he hasn’t really done what you did.” And cuz like what what more could Mitch Moses have done last year to retain that seven jersey? absolutely nothing. But still, he gets put behind Clearary. So, I don’t know what sort of conversations they had. I actually think they’ve made the wrong decision there. But Moses and Clearary are in. Oh, I know that. But like putting him in 5’8, everyone knows 58’s the deputy to the halfback, right? It’s I think he’ll run it still. Yeah, we we’ll see. But it’s interesting. Yeah. Like Moses kicking game in Origin last year was like the game changer. We just couldn’t get out of our own half cuz he’s just sailing them [ __ ] on the one meter line. Yeah. Every time. So, uh yeah, thought that was interesting. I did see Lui come out and just said, “My form hasn’t been great. I want to try work my way back to an origin spot.” So, shout out Li sort of just putting it on his own shoulders saying, “I’m I haven’t been good enough. I’m going to try my best to to fight back.” So, I do do like I I’m not expecting too much from Lu at the moment and I hope he’s not expecting too much of himself in this first year at the Tigers. There is so much more going on at that club than your form alone. Like, there’s so many moving parts that you’ve got to try and make work. So many movies going on inside those four walls, eh? Oh, mate, it’s [ __ ] movie central there. Car call it um video easy. Yeah, while we’re on the topic of some blockbuster shout out. While we’re on the topic of Tigers getting snubbed and whatnot, the big ter I think this sort of comes into what we were just discussing of not always picking the best player in that position. It’s there’s many other criteria. What’s their attitude now? Shout out Miss Moore. Shout out Miss Moore. So, you know, although that he got snubbed and shared at Neds, although Lorie Daly came out and said, you know, like I don’t think he’s the best player in the position at the moment. And a lot of people jumped on that and said, “Oh, who’s better than him?” Pay a pain ash is it, you know, he’s absolutely ripping and tearing. It’s like, yeah, but he just got sent from the roosters. He’s just done 10 rounds of good footy. The only 10 rounds of good footy we’ve seen. Like, he’s at the time. playing okay at the back end of they just got pumped 64 nil last week. So defense like yeah he’s got to get a few more runs on the board which makes sense. Exactly. And like Lori Daly said his time will come. It is just not yet. If it was me and a Queensland side and I see that they don’t have two payers on either side of the field, I’m pretty stoked. As in T. Yeah. Uh cuz [ __ ] they look so similar out there playing, eh? Oh, yeah. Especially club land. They’re just similar body shape. [ __ ] just doing all the work. 70 minutes he’s playing, man. Like crazy stuff. I know. It’s good stuff. But yeah, he’s um he’s [ __ ] young. He’s like early 20s, man. His time will come. His time will come. He’ll have He’s still playing Fortnite with the boys every night. He’ll have his fun in the sun. Um, no hat, no play, no fun today. Um, slip flop slap. So, yeah. Look, do we want to boys? Do we want to do our Yeah, nice. Right. Let’s do it. This is how we pick origin at Yeah. Nice. We do a one for one like for like uh matchup. So, we’re not doing a true, you know, number two verse number five cuz that’s a matchup. We’re just going position for position. Who do we think? And it’s one out of five. No, it’s just we just pick it’s one or the other and we KP Dylan Edwards the ghost. KP for sure. KP for sure for sure, especially in the origin arena. So yeah, now this is an interesting one. Number two, to verse coats. I maybe go coats on this one. [ __ ] What’s our criteria here? Because on form coats every day of the week, but on runs on the board, you would have to say top to like Grand had an injury. He’s only come back from the injury. Yeah. Go. Go Coy on that one because trust me, there’s going to be some Blues winners down the line. Trust me. Now, this one, UFC fight, UFC lightweight, UFC fighter in Origin, Jersey. Yeah. Robert Toya versus obviously Critter all day. Crit my boy doggies. All right. Hammer versus Latrell. Latrell every day of the week. Yeah. Just imagine marking up against Latrell, bro. Like he’s he’s going to be he’s going to be a tough tough day out there. Latrell marking up against him. But I think that’s where Toya comes in. Big big solid build. Big aggression about him as well. So I think they’ll be matched up against each other. Valley verse the Lomax. That’s the Lomax every day of the week. Yeah. [ __ ] I seen some um I seen some like content on the Marone’s page today. Who’s the better goal kicker? Val’s looking old. Yeah, true. Yeah, bro. Lomax goal kicker. His little jersey shot there holding the ball. He’s looking pretty old. True. Like fragile. Yeah. He looks like he’s been hanging out with Steve Askin on a weekend like crows feet out the W. Really nursing home sort of stuff. Very lucky to have got that look in there. Really? Yeah. Who Who did he take that position from? Lommax. Oh, he was there last. No, no, no. I’m talking about Valentine. Oh, Val. Yeah, cuz Mari Talangi got injured and then Coobo as well. So, exactly. You’d say out of those two, he’s the third third in line there probably. So, based on injury. Yeah, I think so. And his defense is fairly dust. So, interesting choice next. We’ll go I’ve already gone low. It’s all good. On the number six, Money or Moses? [ __ ] Money Mitchell Moses. Yeah. Yeah. Mitchell, Money Moses. Mitchell, Money Moses. Yeah, I this may be blasphemy and I hope he doesn’t ever see this but it’s got to be Moses. I think Moses I hope he doesn’t see it which I will show him. Say go to this part of the pod. Yeah, I’ve got to say Moses. See money if I’m being honest with myself. Yeah, money’s like X factor but last year more consistent but but money can break open a game and win a series as the worst team ever even though it’s not the same position but he is Alrell. Yeah for sure can be the worst or best player on the field respectfully DC definitely come on the podcast Blues are up 4-2 we’re now on number seven uh Clearary vers DC DC every other week. Yeah, we’ll see. Are we talking the same thing? Like Yeah. I think I think let’s throw an Origin filter on here. DC. It’s got to be DC. Yeah. Yeah. Filters on the dog show. Oh, great. That’s the beauty of having your own show, buddy. Do whatever you please. Moa is next. Probably Mitchell Barnett. If you’re throwing a Origin filter. Yeah, but the was second on the ladder. Yeah. But but tell me tell me this Steo. Yes. Do I know how many games have you watched? Do you know Mitchell Barnett is one and two how many W game have you watched and gone wow Mitchell Barnett helped them to get that win? Yeah. I could say the same. Yeah. But we’re throwing an origin filter on that. Should we do a.5 for each? Yeah. Right. For each I like it. Yeah. Based on I haven’t seen him play in 2025. Yeah. I haven’t noticed I’ve played one single game this year. Half a point each. We heard their name mentioned. H is the next one. H first Reese Robson for sure. All right. Oh, did we think Appy should have got that look in there? Well, [ __ ] He played great on Sunday, man. That was some old He was doing KP whack but like quick [ __ ] D down like make slip on ice skate break his knees. I know. Oh, that see that they done it twice, bro. And then done it closer to the line. It’s like the same little That was the appy I remember from the Blues jersey. Remember when they dropped him and then Reese come in was just throwing lasers and I was like, “Oh, fair enough.” Like there’s too And this is when uh Blues were like trying to like what the [ __ ] going on because they had like Clearary and Lii and Yo and Appy and they’re all just trying to do creative [ __ ] So I was like fair enough dropy. But now I’m like I think you need a bit of that creativity around the rock. I probably would have picked Appy there. Yeah, he’s definitely got the better running game. Um, but anyway, they’re obviously looking forward. App is obviously on the back. So, Harry Grant gets that one. Y nice. So, we’re now at let’s just go Tino or I think boy gets So, we’re at four and a half each here, boys. Going into number 10. So, pain over Tino. You got to go Pain. Tino’s are close there, but Payne is just a thing. He’s a dog. Number 11, Carter verse Liam Martin. These are two dogs. Yeah. Yes. Now this year Lee Martin has not been playing hasn’t lived up to the high but is that just the how a reflection of Panthers? I know it could be. Whereas, are we throwing a performance filter over it as well? Yeah, you got to throw. If we chuck the performance filter, I go Cotter, but then when I chuck on the Origin filter. Yeah, you got to go Martin cuz that kind of got the man of the series like 2 years ago. Martin’s like an angry little nerdy white boy like striped pajamas. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, maybe go Martin. The twist, please, sir. Can I have some more sort of stuff? Yeah. All right. Or we going half a point each for those ones. Maybe half a point, I reckon. Cuz if we throw in the filter. Yeah, cuz the origin filter. Yeah. Half each. Right. Because the next one is definitely AC. Yeah. What? Definitely. So number 12, we’ve got Jeremiah Nano Angus series last year. For me, it’s Angus Croton. Angus Crotton every day of the week. Nano was dropped for a couple weeks there, man. Yeah. I don’t know if that was attitude or performance or doing the na na. Yeah. All right. Put an attitude filter on that. Go Angus. Angus C. Yeah. Okay. All right. Number 13. Isaiah Yo versus Pat Carrian. Yoda. Put a good guy filter on that. Put a big [ __ ] sexy guy filter on that. And it’s Pat. But if you put just a really solid 80minute player good guy filter on that, they get half a point each. Yeah. Is it half? I think that’s a Yoda. You reckon he’s the captain? Yeah. Yeah. It just depends what kind of filing play great but Yoda’s been like big [ __ ] filter. You see if you put on the biggest [ __ ] filter is pass a carrier, right? Let’s go half a point each time. Let’s keep in by the skin. We’re keeping it interesting, which is actually huge. So, all right. Let’s Let’s power through these next couple. Dear v. Watson, dear. Dear. Yeah. Yep. Uh we’ve got Collins v Spencer Lenu. Collins. Bro, origin filter Collins every day played 10 minutes in Original Psychopath. Collins went up in the air and took the [ __ ] ball off Teddy last year. Collins. But what if you put a [ __ ] slap if you put the origin filter on? If you put the slap your misses on the ass, how you going to say something to him? Filter on it. No, Lindsay would never do that. Exactly. That’s why it’s probably if you’re putting that filter on it. Spencer called JT [ __ ] with I think it’s 2v1 cuz I I just I can’t go past like who would I rather run it. Yeah. Who would I rather run it straight at like or who would I least rather run it straight? I’d rather run it straight at least. If we put a run it straight filter on and see if you’re putting a a get vertical filter on [ __ ] that we could have put the get vertical filter on Nani and yeah I know but 2v1 sorry sorry okay uh Bo Furmore Young he’s in form he scores every other day ending in Y and then we’ve got that’s his that’s the initial of his last name and then we’ve got Trent Lierro who pub test [ __ ] would probably go, “Who the [ __ ] that?” But he’s a bit of a beast. Max King. He’s the second random pick for the year. Yeah. Yeah. Uh put a put a pub filter on that. Go uh Max King. Max King. Well, we’ll just do the 17. Yeah. Don’t do the 20. We obviously haven’t won here, but I’ll just do it uh tally the score up. So, depends what filters you put on, you know. Yeah. Criteria. Yeah. Depends on the criteria. So, they got 10 and a half points for New South Wales. And we’ve got Seven and a half. So they beat us by three basis points. I’ll I’ll tell you what I think real quick. Interest rate drop today. Interest rate drop. So they beat us by three basis points. Yeah. Look. Well, I wonder if but I love being the under if we throw an underdog filter. How many extra points does that get us up there? The filters have been getting a run. Yeah. Now, I know we’ve gone into the the fundamentals of each team, but if you just told me that team verse that team and you put in the context of the game at the moment, last year, this year, I think we win. Now, I’ll tell you why. I think that Cam Monster and DC look at Mitch Moses and Nathan Clearary, both teams in the bottom four, both their teams, top eight. You have a look that a lot of other people are going, “Oh yeah, there’s there’s a lot of contention down there again in New South Wales about did we pick the right ter blah blah blah blah.” Whereas like our team got selected and everyone just went play on like we just trust in you Billy. Like you know what I mean? No one was like the bush poet filter the Bush Poet filter. Come on. Yeah. You got Lori Daly who hasn’t played this century. And you got Billy Slater, one of the immortals of the 21st. Okay. Lori Daly. 60. He’s not 60, but he hasn’t played this century. He coached in 2005. He looks 60. Yeah, he probably looks 60. He’s got the Oh, this century. Yes, I guess century. Not the last century. Not the last century. This century. Yeah, this century is only a quarter century old. So, correct. Thanks for that math. Yeah. Um, so yeah, I think if you just give it the eye test, the spec, it’s Queensland that get get the dub, do you reckon? Yeah. I just love I just love being an underdog. Markets underdog and coming off a loss last year. The boys have got something to prove. What if we have a three and a half actual handicap, not a handicap filter like a genuine bookmaker? maker handicap of three and a half plus three and a half. Chuck 1,000 on two. It’s two and a half. See, I don’t like that. That’s where you lose by half a point. Can’t Yeah. Yep. Three and a half would have done it. So, yeah. $2.15 at time of recording for Queensland and $1.70 New South Wales. You said 215, eh? Yeah. Yeah. What happens if we throw a Ned’s filter on it? Yeah. Not sure. I don’t know, man. I don’t know what that means. No one knows what this is actually about. Um, Steo, I’d love to get into like not right now, but some content for next week, Bette Tech plus origin filter and look at some stats there and and maybe look at a few tri scorers. Can we kick off our gambling show then? Because next week I’m Oh, you’re free. I’m retired. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Well, what day would it have to be on? Oh, Wednesday. Wednesday [ __ ] or Monday. But are we doing anything for Origin? We’re not like filming it or doing nothing like that. I’d love just to sink me teeth in and enjoy it. Yeah, let’s just do that. But uh but just whatever. I’m happy to do whatever. I can do uh Monday recording. We’ll talk about it off air. Yeah, we won’t bore everyone with the details. But boys, let’s get into some gambling brought to you by Y. I don’t know where that come from, but I like it. Yeah, it’s here to stay. Uh, boys, 500 members in the Y Sports Open on the note, which that’s not nothing. Yeah, that’s a little that’s a little shout out. Pat yourself on the back. Shout out myself. To come from to come from nothing, now we’re here. Road to 10,000. Started, as Drake said, started from the bottom, now we’re here. Yeah. 500, man. I’m pretty up with that in a in a couple month period. Like, we haven’t been going for that long on the on the open group. So, shout out ourselves on that. Yeah. I’m just reading this next point here. Who would you want to gamble with dead or alive? Yeah. Well, you obviously didn’t see the thing I today. Stake um did this video with uh Drake and was like, who’s who’s the one person you’d want to gamble with, Dead or Alive? And I thought it’d be an interesting thing for us to ask one another. I reckon we save that for next week cuz I think How are we going for time there, Lexi? 109. Yeah. A rare. Yeah, we talked a lot. Yeah. Jeez. Anyway, I reckon we save that for next week because we could ask that anytime, right? Yeah. Um, Steo, how about you get into your glorious BTech Plus first of its name, absolute grail win last week, paying $12 something and it just see now before you go. Now, yeah, sorry. You go. You go before you go. And I’ll give you flowers, which you weren’t here for me to give you your flowers, but I did give them. I said to Brando, that’s that was mad. Steo’s Bet Tech pass coming off. So, congratulations on that. Congratulations, brother. But this is where I brought up when you were Galactic Jack and now you’re AI Jack. When you were Galactic and these AIs weren’t winning. It was because there’s a reason it’s called machine learning. It’s learning. Like, so it’s ever learning, you know. And I don’t learn. Well, no. Now, now I’m thinking like we have to ban the we got like now we can’t ban it for bettech plus. So I think the bet tech the Ned tech shout out Ned’s odd subject to change terms conditions of the website. [ __ ] yourself. Yeah. Um I think the intuitive part of our so the brain is in split in two. The logical side, the intellect side and the intuitive side. Right. So I think we have to pick our NedTech with our intuitive side and then for the bettech plus we use the logical intellect machine learning side. Yeah. Delve deeper into because bro the bettech plus first of its name subscription coming to a uh uh subscription platform near you subscription coming to a Disney channel near you. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Like the BTech plus it’s just a segment for the people. It’s not necessarily. We’re not versing each other. It’s literally just value for the audience. It’s it’s our version of NRL odd stats. Brandon stats guy. All of the above. Yeah. Uh so, God, I like that name. Brandon Stats guy. So good. Shout out to you, Steo. And it’s good that the Eels did win. Get to these write-offs quick sec. But I just I said to you maybe it was last week I said wouldn’t it be funny if you bette tech plus won and you bet and Ned tech lost but lost but I think what you’re doing now you’re one can’t win without the other winning. So it’s almost like this right this is the surface level bet so mine was heels to win the bettech plus was eels to win both halves plus Mitch Moses to score. So my NedTech couldn’t win without the bettech plus. My NedTech could win without the bet. Yeah. Betchech winning. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But I like cuz it’s the bet the NedTech Plus. It needs to be a further deeper backing of your NedTech. So it’s like the the Nedte is a tree. The Ned Tech the Bette Tech Plus is a branch off that tree. Correct. There’s no Bette tech plus. The tree can survive without the branch, but the branch can’t survive without the tree. Correct. Correct. So, which is why your uh and yours got very close. Yes, I know. The $15 Keon Calamatangi. Yeah. First of his name. First of his name. Probably last of his name, too. Yeah. Had an absolute blinder. I know. Like one of his best games ever. Correct. Statwise. Statwise. I didn’t know they’d moved him to prop. I didn’t check the team list because the person that took his position you and Aken scored. Are you prepared to give me the the win there or no? Well, you didn’t get any money on it. You you Nedtech won, but Yeah, for sure. But in a moral with a moral filter. Yeah, moral filter. And mine was Oh, of course I’m ready to give it to you. It was my stat. I did the work. It was actually my win. I’m [ __ ] ripping. No, you are. And mine was an ad car. Yes. Yes. Which which he was pegged to school which I was filthy because make a little burn down the side. Could have done a show and go, man. He could have done it. Were you screaming at the TV? I was screaming at my phone cuz I was at work. Work at Mr. Jerry. Shout out to it. Shout out N. You work there. Yes. I’ve never seen you in there once, bro. This last week was pumping. That’s great. You wouldn’t know. Pumping. I worked. The only way you know is you see dollars at the end of the weekend. I worked the whole weekend. Okay. I’m only genius. Thursday was pumping. Friday was pumping. Saturday was off its [ __ ] head and Sunday we had all the gullies boys in there. There was probably 50 [ __ ] in there on Sunday. Nice. Yeah. And it was absolutely pumping and the neighbors that just moved in above the bar upstairs would have been absolutely ruining the day they moved in upstairs. But anyway, we digress. Um why move in above a bar? Yeah. Exactly. Yeah. What permanently? Oh, like for what 12 months or something? Yeah. Right. But met him on Friday. ended up kicking on with them. So, yeah, they moved in above a bar for reason. So, now you’ve got two uh two structures to sleep in. Yeah. Oh, so hold on. You’re living in the apartment above the bar. No, no, no. But that’s where you are living, aren’t you? No. No. Queen Street, which is just behind the bar. It’s the street behind the bar. Who owns it? Uh Matt Mel. Shout out Emmy Park Automotive. Oh, yeah. Right. Yeah. Um anyway, we What was your bet tech, bro? Um, it was the same. Moses to score, Eels to win, Eels to win both halves, and Adocard to score, which I was tossing up to throw Lommax in there. Our large scored a [ __ ] double instead of car. I just picked [ __ ] Joshy car. Yeah. But now that car has been moved to the used car lot and I will not be gambling on him anytime shortly. Yes. But ride offs. Ride-offs. Yes. What happening? Sena. There was mine. Yeah. Yours I got written off. Yours got written off. Sinner won his quarter. Sabulanca got beat by Kinan Jang. I seen that. Yeah, that was in like the quarters or something, too. Not even a semi. Yeah. Quarters. So, what happened? Did you watch it? No. No, I didn’t watch it, man. But, um, Jasmine Palini ended up winning the overall. She Coco Golf to win. Yeah, I I know Coco went the distance. We sort of was and S went the distance but uh got beat by Alcatraz. Alcatra 60 slams. 60 slams in the words of Jack Stevens. Uh I had Rabido’s minus 3 and a half handicap 225. Easy win, baby. Now brings me to an even record. Eight wins, eight losses. Eight and eight. Yeah. Is that an angel number, Steen? No. Angel number 888 stands for like fortune. Like you’re going to win like most grand jackpots go off at $18,888.88. What? Oh my goodness. Yeah. And SA. Yeah. You obviously had the Eels as we mentioned to beat the Knights headto head. $250. Speaking of Pokés had an absolute heater on Sunday. Turn the camera away. Wow. Yeah. Let the AT lose, man. I could not. Bro, I was in the like a real responsib couldn’t feel anything. Couldn’t feel anything. couldn’t. So, and you just it was a feeling you knew you weren’t going to win. Yep. And I walked away. Yeah. Had my steak, played a couple of machines and bounced. But on [ __ ] Sunday, I played would have played 20 different machines and I lost on one of them. Like, and my lowest withdrawal was probably 500. I was going 500, 700, 600s, thousands. No, I was like, cuz I was putting it back through. Like, that’s not profit. That was just what I was cashing out. Right. Right. So, you made $500. No, I made not by looks that wallet there. I was listening. I only made 5. I would have profited for 4K. Wow. Nice. Nice. So, it’s good to put that in the box. Good for the bills. Cuz I got a lot of them coming up payment. Oh, I got I got that many bills coming. Well, boys, what do we got for this week? Uh, Steo, what’s your Bette Tech Nedtech of the week, brother? You missed the cut off, so you’ll have to get that off. Steve, what’s yours while Steve? I know what mine is. I’m doing I’m doing a little something different this uh this week. It’s um I’ve always given I’ve tried to go multis with like different sports to give the listeners variety. Talk us through what you’re calling this. Yeah. Yeah. So this week I’ve just added one more leg and I’ve just worked out that it turns into a word. So it’s called a turd bet. So T U R D stands for tennis, UFC, rugby and that could be rugby league or rugby union and uh darts is my other last leg because once upon a time I loved gambling on darts and once upon a time through the height of co darts was one of the only things you could bet on on Neds uh or any other bookie for that matter or other than the weather. It was like the weather or dark. Isn’t that Isn’t that a story? Anastasia Pal was going to wear the next day at the press conference. Yeah. Yeah. Um, so my third bet this week, which is also my NedTech Bettech, and I reckon it I don’t I really can’t do a Bette Tech plus on that bes have to come up something. It’s almost a plus in its own regard. Yeah, for sure. So, I’ve got um Jovovic. He’s paying a$130. Now just off like when’s the last time you seen a Jovovic in round one of a non slam [ __ ] pay a$130 man like yeah never once upon a time he was paying a$130 to like win the [ __ ] win the slam you know what I mean so that’s just for me in my humble opinion that’s [ __ ] value there he’s playing at ATP Geneva and I’m pretty sure that’s tomorrow night um tonight if you’re listening to this um I’ve got Aaron Blanchfield in the main event of UFC this weekend. She’s fighting Macy Barber. Um she’s paying like a $150. I just I reckon Blanchfield’s Barber’s a bit hype. Um I’ve got the Panthers to win. I’m not sure who they’re paying in the league. They’re playing the Knights. Yeah, they’re playing the Knights. The [ __ ] what? Knights without Kaylin Ponger and [ __ ] um who else they got missing? No, that’s just it. But like [ __ ] look what the Eagles just did to the Knights. And like even though Panthers got clear and [ __ ] out, Jack Koga steps in. Sweet. And then I got Luke Littleler. That young real young 17year-old [ __ ] 18-year-old [ __ ] that won PDC World title. He’s like [ __ ] What’s that? The darts, right? Yeah, the darts. He’s [ __ ] Yeah, he’s meant to be the next Alcarazz of um [ __ ] of pubs. Smoking dart. Yeah. So you do all that together. That’s your turd bet. gets $328 on only thing I don’t like about it is it goes against one of the uh commandments. Yes. Yeah. But more legs than the dollar value. Yes. But it was it just looked good on paper. Don’t get me wrong. I love I love an acronym bit. Acronym bets might supersede multi-leg bet. Yeah. T U R D. I like it. C M F E. Might even have to be Have you ever just in your head gone, “Oh, this is like an acronym turd.” Like how did you come up with that concept? Oh uh yeah I don’t know it was just I was looking at all the sports and I was going how can I make a genuine word out of this? Yeah nice especially with sports that I am did you have to say pick a darts or whatever or you just pick wanted to pick these few sports and thought how no no like I I sort of was like what were like cuz I could have done it with I could have done tar like a tar bit like lay your road down have the same ring to it, right? Yeah. Tennis, AFL, rugby league. Could have done that. Yeah. Or I could have done a [ __ ] and that’s almost like an acronym of a [ __ ] some other word. Oh, I might have I could have done the word bet cuz I could have put rugby union at the front. I could have put esports in there and then I could have put [ __ ] on the end of it. We’ll save that one to the lost tapes. Yeah. Yeah, we’ll save that when we don’t have any brand deals. What do you got, brother? Your bet for the week. We We’ve got a rule in the book of Eli. When something be good, when something be good to you, be good to it. Yeah, it’s one of the most simple rules in one of the most simple rules. Coming up against the Manly Seagull this week, the Eagles plus three and a half, $220. I think this uh this win they got against the Knights might do something to the boys. I think that the Eels have played without Mitch Moses more this year than Manley’s played without DCE. I think that definitely um I think that they get the job done and $220. Who are they versels? Manley Eagles. So Eagles are versing the Eagles, right? No. Yeah. No Moses and no DC. Yeah. How the [ __ ] just quietly can Cowboys draw with Penri and Penri were playing like decent? It wasn’t like bottom of the table Penri. It was like, “Oh, Penri are actually like back now.” Like we’re sweet. Cowboys draw with them and then lose to Manley. Like get pumped by Manley. Yeah. I don’t know. [ __ ] It’s How bizarre. That’s a great song. How bizarre. Lazard. Bob Lazard. That’s Bob Lazard. How bizarre. What’s that? Plus three and a2. Plus three and a half. 220. Alt line. Alt line. Old line. Old landlord. Nice. Uh, and I’ve got the doggies again. Same book of Eli rule for me. Um, doggies have been good to me this year in more ways than than you can think. Uh, he so yeah, doggies 30 30 plus against the Dolphins. I know we’re missing Critter Maxi King. Still got your Burton. Still got your kicks. Still got your Reed Mani. So, still got your Bronson cherry pickers. Yeah. So, the spine’s still there. And Steo spine. Spine. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Uh, and Dolphins missing Hammer. Uh, Tommy Gilbert. I think the Dolphins might beat you. Tommy Gilbert. I think the Dolphins might beat you. That’s hilarious. Tommy Gilbert. And is that it? I think. Anyone else out for ins and outs? Hammer and Tommy Gilbert. Anyway, I think Tommy get the job done convincingly. Do another $50. Yeah, I’m Are you confident, though? I’ve got a weird feeling about it. Yeah. So, so just head to head. Yeah. Head to head. 50. 50. Let’s do it. Nice. Nice, brother. On camera. Uh, so yeah, that’s paying 13 plus paying $230. So, I’m very confident on that one. Uh, so look, do with that what you will. 8 and 8 record sort of speaks for itself. Well, 8 and8 record and then if you times Steo’s wins by my wins, that equals eight as well. So 888. Steo’s wins plus your wins equals six. No, times I said, sorry. Yeah, right. I’m switched on, remember? Criteria of centric tries. Yeah, I thought he was trying to say 14 * 12 and I was like, how the [ __ ] do you know 888, which is also why I said my wins times your wins. Don’t worry, you two [ __ ] [ __ ] it. Do you ever get those math equations come up in your feed and it’s like two plus in brackets to mine and it’s like cuz math has those rules which ones you do first and then everyone’s in the things like this and it’s like nah can’t you didn’t do the [ __ ] formula right? I’m very good at them. Yeah. Nice. Yeah. Nice. Uh, as always, those odds and prices subject to change. TE’s and C’s on Ned’s website. And if you’re in South Australia, you cannot gamble on UFC. Unlucky cuz And also, as always, download Ned’s Gamble with Ned’s because we didn’t really give Ned’s a love letter this uh Yeah, we we’ll do one at this. We’ll do an artificial at the start. Artificial love letter. Yeah. It’s three week rolling. Yeah. Yeah. So, next week we got It’s got to be this week, I think. So, we’ll quickly whip one after this. Quickly whip one up. Oh. Oh, yeah.
