we’re looking down the lens here you can catch his chat on YouTube if you want to check out what we’re talking about B shed’s 25% off sale is on now and it is Satler and rat hello boys with your rank shirts oh easy hang on SEC I’ve got an scn shirt on this idiot a shirt on from Li yes which team is it it’s not it’s just a a shirt that birds of condor did what are you did you pay for it R did you pay for it what am I eating I’m eating um crackers some sort of noodles or did you pay for your s can we get off whether I pay for stuff or not it’s not about that okay so during the break yep we’re talking about rat just coming back from Liv it’s his second year at Liv he’s all pumped for it he didn’t sleep last week and he said to to kohen and I daddy Vass he said can you confirm nor deny daddy Vass he said do you know what I’m not one for going and getting photos with athletes oh I’m not last year I said Phil Michelson this year John I said I wanted one photo this is he dead said said I’m not a photo guy yeah I’m not a photo guy I never go up to this is I never go up a bit of an oxymoron I did get John rum there you go you did how did you approach it rat you didn’t know whether it was John R or sth happen because of where I was positioned anyway just by chance we’re in the media room in the morning there’s no one around there’s just scn guys and um John R walked into the room where we were which is a smaller room off off the side of a bigger room where a lot of people were and just started getting photos with a guy over in the corner I’m thinking why is he here and then his teammates walked in TR Hatton Scott Vincent um walked in they started chatting away and then he came and stood right next to us and I said oh John would you mind if I grab a photo gu no mate not at all how far did you move literally a meter no was it was it a selfie or did you get someone to take it for you no no well well Nick Del Santo D was there and I was going to do the selfie and d goes no mate give me your phone this is perfect a bit too quick for me rator hang on John R Nick Santa play yeah that restart get go [Laughter] on yeah so anyway D just took the photo how was it rat was it good oh mate it was unbelievable like it was that it was just it was like last year on steroids they had so much more fan engagement stuff there was bigger fan zones there was more you know um food stores bigger corporate areas it was just insane and I mean I think they had 75 there last year they had 97 there this year 97,000 people so about no near on sort of8 or 9,000 more a day which is um pretty impressive what about the back end of yesterday when it started to become apparent that the Australian side was in the mix they thereabouts but jeez it look like the crowd decided to heat up at the back end of the play Yesterday well I actually I was following yesterday I was following Matt Jones and nean and Louis usen so us plays in The Stingers and Jones plays in The Stingers and there uh for the for the Rippers obviously so and they knew so there’s a guy that walks like there’s the guy that holds up the the scoreboard for the fans to see but then there’s a guy the digital every group has one a little like a Surface Pro or whatever it’s walking around it’s got all the scores on it and the caddies would come over to him cuz I want to know what how the teams cuz all these players are so big on the team stuff like they love it so CU it keeps them engaged right to the end it doesn’t you know because it matters every and every team member matters on day four so their caddies were coming over to the scorer and sort of finding out where they were team wise because with about four or five holes to play the Aussies were six up and Miles fitzner that he he crowed he’s like the home me one hole four birdies for the The Sting is all of a sudden it’s back on like it’s it’s Team game it’s and uh anyway M it was just so so my my group they actually finished last so while we were while we were playing this the second hole which was there last Lucas Herbert Mark lechman were down by the green waiting for us because they knew if if Matty Jones could birdie it um then they’d win the play they’d win how’s the scoring go rat so I know there’s they in terms of four yep but is it just purely stroke play so the first two days it’s your best three scores out of your four players Aggregate and then on the last day it’s the best four and then for the for the playoffs this is the first playoff in history uh for for live in the team event they uh they they picked two they they picked their two best and then they go down to the 18th and it’s aggregate they add their two scores up and M the Aussies were out of it they were gone on the first playoff hole that like how they scrambled and and saved it was amazing lean made about an eight 8 to 10 footer and then uh cam Smith got out of the bunker and got up and down out of the bunker um and both the South South Africans missed 8 foot birdie putts that were so makeable wow just had little bit of break on them but they both missed pretty much from side by side so one got a read off the other and then the second playoff ho both the South Africans put them in the back bunker and short sided themselves and they were gone hey I heard this sorry I heard this hypothetical um and smart business from Liv too by by only taking the top three in the first two days you lose the Howa which keeps the field close very very very very smart um hey because Herbert had plus one so they would have been out of it the Aussies would have been out of it completely okay now let’s just have a listen to this please tourist Ian pter you know of him boys here he is be careful cuz an Australian icon who’s Now Sports commentator Matt Rogers if you hit a hole in one on the 17th the party hole he’ll be the one calling it and this is the type of thing you’ll hear Ian looks like ke is done that and this is coming in nicely might be a little long oh no this is right next to the pin oh this could go in it’s running it’s caging ohly one Chas K the be absolutely what does it any any thoughts or concerns no listen no no concerns I was there I had a front row seat I was playing with him I hope someone I hope someone has another hole in one this week it would be uh it’ be pretty special for for everyone to see he sounds like a character didn’t he boys he was he he was on he was on the table last year is he the one that gets under the skin of everyone no oh he’s a lovely as a champion he was on the tables last year doing a shoy at the um at the Fisher concert on the Friday night he didn’t he didn’t have a good event he finished last in this event really but I will say I was walking out last night at about seven and he was the only player on the Range hitting balls like he was out there grinding still focused um but yeah it was I will say Su in in terms of a grades there was a few of them on the on the party hall on the TW on the 12th like they’re just too much grogging them and just carrying on like absolute pork chops what is the what’s the makeup of the crowd is it mostly blokes on a boys trip or is there a bit of a mix they’re different parts there the beach club which is on the left on the on the sort of western side of the party hall and then there’s the shark Shack which is down around the uh down around the T box the shark Shack that’s where it gets loose um that’s where it gets pretty crazy down there down near the t- Box up at the watering hole end like which is which up at up at the end where I was called the celador and you can probably see by the name the celador it’s a little bit more expensive it’s a little bit more classy and you don’t you don’t get the pork chops in there but um some of the behavior it was really bad on the on the M on the on the T Thursday afternoon uh to the point where on sorry on the on the Friday afternoon to the point where um 11 chairs got thrown onto the t- box from down out of the shark Shack yeah hey did you see the two guys that dressed up as in hi is and like Council one bought one bought fake walkie-talkies and they just walked straight into Li through the workman’s entrance and people going where you’re working on the 13th they just kept walking and they got changed in the bush just into their casual clothes they’ve done a couple of big occasioning you just just got to walk with confidence that’s it walk with confid that’s outstanding now sugar you have um you have at times when you commentate forn League you’ve you’ve had the commentator’s curse when yeah he’ll knock this over with a door snake with a goal kick we rat on the back of his hole in one last year this is his uh commentator’s curse when it comes to live he doesn’t miss these he shaved the hole he shaved the hole he shaved the hole Oh my days I think you just hit that straight through any sort of break that he had he’s run at two foot past the hole he doesn’t miss these he’s officially that was C Smith last hole of the day out a two footer to go to Five under so that would have left a bit of a bad taste in his mouth he didn’t quite he just never quite fired none of the Aussies they played like Lucas Herbert was good on the last day lean was good on the last day but they never really I got it going from back toback days I love how they they do the winners of the team like the F1 super cars that sort of on the dice I just I’ve been to a lot of good sporting events I I can’t I don’t think I can top this one really the energy the excitement my hey hey rat I got a question for you like you’re the best goer out of all of us here what are you playing off at the moment questionable uh I’m actually off one yeah one okay that’s a good answer because it’s I want to put things in perspective and and maybe I’ve asked the wrong bloke but let’s just talk about Augusta right you’re playing there and it’s the Masters and it’s rat who’s off one verse Cameron Smith over 18 holes and rat you get to you get to start your shot from the furthest part on the green whereas Cameron Smith got to start off from the te’s you’re off one he’s obviously a professional golfer who would win that scenario you start every hole in the furthest point on the Green Oh I would win yeah would you definely he’s a pretty good yeah yeah no if we if we yeah yeah just putting I’m just putting of course I’m going to beat him but you’re putting on glass there aren’t you yeah but he’s got a putt on it too uh here’s the thing if you put if you if you if you put me off say the most forward te’s yep and you put cam Smith off the back te’s I’d still need 15 shots yes I’d probably still need a shot a hole actually i’ probably still need 18 shot so someone on a handicap of 15 play or gusta and went around in 99 yeah yeah yeah so it’s so it’s about 15 shots harder than so like the rating on that course would be near like it hard so so that’s what I reckon so what so you reckon if you went to a gust as a one marker which is very bloody good what would be your average putts per hole you reckon well you Reon to be like two and a half three would it yeah about that yeah yeah okay I mean your ball you’re hitting you still got to hit the ball in the right spots but putting is the way you make them you make them up or you lose them and yeah I reckon I like if I if I averaged under three putts around at auguster I would be stoked I wonder you organize around there Joel I’d love to I’d love to know what handicap would be the one where it would almost be parody hey boys I I floated something earlier at the top of the show and I don’t I don’t want to make it a whole show about the kickoff did you hear me share that yes what do you think are you oh was your one the the one um can’t catch it in the end goal on the floor is that it that’s it that’s it yeah 20 me tap off seven tackle set the coaches hate that so now it’s on the kicker to drop it short of the the goal line thoughts I like it we I think we just got to get it whether we like it or not and I’m I’m a great traditionalist so I don’t want to see it go but I think we’ve got to get it round our heads that it’s going to change in some format I think pvl I think he’s again I think he’s also a real traditionalist I don’t think he’ll I think he’ll try and find something in the middle because I still think he likes that gladitorial uh part of the game um so I think there’ll be something in the middle and I think that seems to be the thing that everyone would possibly agree to the only other one is two passes off the kickoff every front row wears head gear Daddy V I got a challenge for you Daddy V I’ve got a a challenge for you starting right at this minute it’s yourself versus The Tourist and I know that uh I know the rat follows this BL and I’ve been following his bloody character he’s a he’s a Warriors fan Tim nari have you seen much yeah yeah the black sh y Daddy vas head-to-head with tourist to see who get some on the show first yeah what do you think oh easy done rat’s best match with we’ve had a few conversations already inm he’s already it’s all oneway conversation from r no no he’s good he’s good he M he’s doing plenty of media you know did you see what he he did he did a couple of Med media interviews and he he he lost he kept losing yeah after the media interviews and I just he put a ban on didn’t he yeah I said well no I said I’m not well you’re not com on our show until you start winning again he’s like yeah sweet whenever but yeah he’s he’s he’s entertaining is he job oh man and and it it just went all peer shaped at the worst time so he just started to chip up and then they just started losing they just started losing well he’s back today he had a good win today did he oh good he won on the side bets and the BET wow wow few weeks ago I said oh we’re going to get rats man crush on and he said oh who is it is it Tim Nai no br Church medalist wasn’t he or yeah and Del and Del delm yeah doing it all who’s the only player at the moment I could be wrong actually saying this there’s not many anyway who have won a Del M and A CL Churchill still playing still playing yeah delam and a clur there’s only one Jack jackart is he the only one I think he’s the only one he would be yeah I think he would be yeah has Teddy want a CL no no CL no which player has been the most robbed from a CL Church medal from memory Andrew F oh oh yeah that’s a good one no I had money on Luke Lewis course hey uh what about 1993 Kevy Walters is the length of the straight and Brad MCU from a beaten side gets it oh you know the story about um Jason Stevens did you play with Jason you would have played with him for sure R didn’t you Jason stev is so he tells the story cuz he started at the dragons and yep he takes the very first hit up of that match compound fracture for his finger so straight to hospital gets knocked out wakes up and Brad mcai is being presented the Clive Churchill medal and he goes yes we’ve won the Grand Final and it was one of those times where yeah yeah yuck what’s on tonight boys what’s on the show plenty so much yeah yeah not going we got are you serious going got are you serious like it or lump it yes yes yes yeah three burning questions with Daddy Vass always hits us with three blind questions tough and we got our our sports day Player of the Year po at pole so last week it was Zack LX this is voted by the by the listeners so yeah round eight I think Sam Walker who was your player player of the round Jo uh mate Sunny Gilder in the Under 12 for Rebels he played all right got us the win um no oh look I saw the Walker game he was superb I suppose 10 from 10 with the boot I don’t know no no no no no no I’m taking Cameron monster Melbourne yeah Cameron monster what he get a try and four tries assist I’m going to go Brian to 21 tackle breaks against the Cowboys that was ridiculous we’re trying to find if that’s a record tourist the tourist has no idea cuz they they don’t like tackling at the moment the Cowboys R was just saying thinks Brian Toto has set the blueprint for other clubs when it comes to Wingers I think he changed the game when that when started look at him going he’s running for 200 me every game that’s taken so much pressure because it went through that stage where it was the 6’3 6’4 Winger Joseph Su like and now it’s you’re saying it’s coming down to that shorter compact I I mean I just think the style of play Joel Kane 2000 year 2000 Joel and I played I don’t think I ever Mar against up against Jo direct did I ever did we ever play against each other I know that you used to change side to side when you came up against someone you didn’t want to Mark I wish I could have done that L you would have RI me a new one that’s right um no I don’t know if I remember marking up against you but but I think back in our day Joel there wasn’t as much pressure on us to I mean we’ get in there and help yeah but but like now you weren’t expected to get the team on the front it is a prerequisite and I mean I I think that’s probably in the last five five or six years that’s when it’s really shifted did any of you guys play against a peak Matt uai like an 0405 Matt uai I would have just missed him he was similarish for the Bulldogs in in those prime years getting he was so hard to hit he had no hit Zone on him he couldn’t tackle him low cuz he’d cop his knee tackl a little bowling ball yeah he had no hits a lot of the time you end up hitting him in the chin with his shoulder which you you were alled to do back then know it was the only way you could stop him did you say did you say you versed him in 2003 2004 as well 2003 though hey I had to chase him there’s no way I was going to get him but but I ended up getting him is getting a you what was the final name for that I haven’t I think it’s a heand tucon is is the one they want boys um what what what else is happening gentlemen what else is happening in your world actually I’ll ask you this from queensland’s point of view and you’re we don’t care but who are the two Wingers you don’t want to see for New South Wales and the two Wingers be picking and I hope trom trovich doesn’t get picked at fullback well this only this time last week I did the poll and it was a landslide to lowmax how things shift this time last week actually I’m in the car and I’m driving home and I’m starving absolutely Lee Marvin and SATs and rat was a little bit Dusty right he was yeah and SATs you were talking about it I was salivating you you remember what you made that night uh silver side no no no it was like a burrito or something or a um oh your Mexican dish oh Mexican chicken yeah M that’s exactly what I’m thinking about right now you copied off an athlete didn’t you who was that Christian Peta Christian Peta he do a bit of the cooking on Tik Tok he’s got some really good menus recipes yeah you you fed me a bit of it yeah it’s beautiful boys the tourist turned 30 uh the other day I know how good happy birthday yeah so what Scottish did you do for your 30th tourist did you eat some Haus he wore no underpants to work what Scottish what does that mean sir well you know like did you go home to your did you go back to your your home roots and say go home the world what did you do what did you do that to remind you of home on such a significant day do you celebrate Australia on your birthday s i do I I atat a big rump steak every birthday it’s Australian okay um no nothing we we had dinner with some friends and then we went to the fish market on Sunday and it was a lovely weekend cheek of you Cohen he hates he hates the uh the focus on him boys he hates the focus on him well he said there was no romance which I don’t believe yeah no by romance no no there always is it’s so so just birday hon what about Dom’s date he reckons it went okay it went good yeah it went good no kissing so M the um the minor Pool Cleaner just asked can I confirm the prize money for the teams that live mhm so the prize money for the team is 750,000 per player so it’s 3 million so I worked it out with their individual prize money and their and their team prize money Matt Jones walked away with just a tad over 1.7 million good weekend um and the other three all walked away with the same cuz they finished the same in the individuals 1.55 million and you got to think about this boys like from can you imagine being the caddy like you’re literally riding home a massive multi every week what are you on about 10% you are but me to tell you something about the caddies in Liv yep yeah so they all get 10% Liv pays it so the players don’t have to paid out of their money live pays for their travel live pays for their accommodation so they are on a ticket like the like the golfers are good so so cuz normally if you’re a caddy you get a wage or you win the prize money and you you got to cover your own accommodation fight to events your boss doesn’t do that so they’re not getting 10% they’re getting a set fee are they some are yeah okay oh but but that that’s what I’m saying in the PGA like so Tiger Woods might say mate you’re my caddy but I’m not paying you 10% because you’ll earn too much I’ll pay you a million bucks a year and out of that million he’s got to pay for his travel and accommodation at all the different events that they go to and I was speaking to Matt Jones’s brother Brett he’s a Shy Boy they’re shy boys boys and Brett was saying M it’s it’s it’s unreal for them because like if you think about it like Brett he went through a phase on the PJ tour where he missed 11 out of 12 cuts and so you got to so you got to re rebook flights cancel accommodations or because because you’re not there for the weekend so and there’s no money coming in so it cost them a fortune um no I’m not going to cry I’m not I’m not going to you know get the violin out for professional golfers making truckloads of money but what they what they’ve done on leave in terms of encompassing the players and making sure they’re getting paid every time they go out there they’ve done the same for the caddies so and it takes it takes it out of the um the hands of the uh of the of the players which is pretty cool I love that I love that real quick before we go boys daddy Vass how was your weekend mate yeah good okay that’s so you boys I’ll be tuning in very very shortly best shs 25% off the entire rain sale on now
