Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Darcy water Grave sports talk hosters with me, Hey, darsn't mad, okay,
Sonny Bill Williams is fighting who Paul Gallon? Paul Gallan,
you know, the league player and in Sonny Bill's ext
league player. And they've been negotiating this since I think
Noah was, you know, just building toys as a little
feller out of wood, a little bow that long. It's insane.

(00:21):
They finally got the deal done, apparently a million bucks each.
It's fifty to fifty. No one's getting more than the other.
And Paul Gallon didn't turn up to the press conference.
What after all of this time, Why well, Sonny Bill
Williams is going to tell us now, I don't know.
I just say it as him not being the east side,
him not being the main character. He didn't like that

(00:42):
at all. I don't know, But I'm just going to
enjoy this journey. I don't know, but I think it's
the main character. But I don't know. I don't know. Look,
eighteen minutes round probably right now, eight two minute rounds.
They're thirty nine forty three something like this, with no
respect whatsoever. You're not getting my money and no way

(01:04):
tune into that no, eight two minute rounds. This is
like the Jake Paul Tyson Fiesco like hugely successful for Netflix.
It probably was No, I think it was, yeah, probably,
but it was still a scam. I think they'll fight
better this time when you look at the scraps they've had.
I think Gallan's got the upper hand of the bigger
fists because he's got a better history. The people that

(01:27):
he's fought can actually fight back at santy Bale's history. Look,
he's done well. He picked up a New Zealand belt,
but he hasn't really fought anyone of note, whereas Gallon
actually has. And I think of it came to a
street fight or the switchblade or a broken bottle, you'd
run with Gallon every time. He's got to put it
in the ring. Though mang Right's in the ring. Other

(01:48):
they're going out in alleyway. What are they doing with
the gloves on and stuff? Who do you think wins?
Paul Gallon still okay? Right? I think he says is
Sterner well, Ris leaving, you need to make some dollars. Yeah,
it's affable, young man. Young man. He's thirty years old now,
which is still prime for a hooker. Let's not get
that one wrong. But I think that he was overlooked

(02:09):
for All Black representation a couple of times, and there
was an injury crisis they didn't lean on for the
All Black fifteen anyway, then he's been playing really well.
His partner plays tennis. It wouldn't mind expanding a bit
in Europe. There was an offer made to him and
he went, you know what checks and balances, Let's do this.
I'm gonna make a hold of money there. I'm probably

(02:31):
never going to be an All Black. Does that really matter? No,
it doesn't. I'm a professional rugby player and I'm going
to go and playing an incredible place in France, great rugby,
and he could spend four or five six years over there,
make himself an absolute packet and cruising around in the
French sun and pretending he's Picasso. How good that's a
France doesn't flood because it's only a matter of time

(02:52):
before the Holy Europe sinks. Right, But look, he's going
to join us on the show tonight. I don't know,
I asked, just like sear Aungery and Ricky Rica Telly
joins us on the show tonight on the Beast I'm
going to talk to Michael Whitt tonight. Do you remember
Michael Witt. Michael Wett is an ex player for the
Warriors and he was there back in the Helcy in

(03:14):
days two eight to night. Remember against the Melbourne Storm
when the guy got the ball and stood up instead
of caring a try and just turn around and looked
for anybody go when they beat Melbourne out of nowhere.
That's Michael Wett and he's going to join us to
talk about who derails the Warriors. Now, this is getting ridiculous.
They can't get beaten. It's mental. How good? Okay, Darcy?
