keep going. When we don't have the music, we're just
going to bring you in. I didn't have it, but

(00:21):
you didn't have I don't think you had the kind
of the I don't think you had quite the pace
that you needed. Not much of a girl friend, not
that fast. You need to have that kind of what's
it called staccato. I really don't know what a band
that's a that's a that's a real shame good a thing.
Eighty two wouldn't mind A five managed to get that farm.

(00:42):

(01:03):
at six o'clock tonight, the team will come out. It's
up against the Penrith side. Of course, we've got Jet
Cleary and our age group team for the hour the
Warriors have. I got to stop saying that that's horrible,
isn't it? So? Jet, I don't know if they can
throw anything into the pet with Jet, if he can

(01:24):
help out, if he's got anything that maybe some sledging
to aim at Nathan, but we don't know. But that
team comes out tonight at six. The story around this game,
if everyone's getting kind of upset that the NRL of
program the game, so it's at six. If you want
to watch the all Blacks are going to have to
record one of them. You don't get them both alive.
And do you know what NRL couldn't care less about rugby?

(01:46):
The NRL I care about New Zealand's that's pretty obvious. Ookay,
I don't care about rugby. Why would they change anything
they're doing to appease the rugby thing? Literally the competition. Yeah, precisely,
you want to watch us, watch us, you want to
recall those records. It's a big night for us though.

All White are playing Ossie in the soccer ashes and
this is this at seven yees seven o'clock mountse Smart
Stadium and an opportunity to maybe win. Hopefully Chris Wood
can score a goal because he's not scored a goal
against them. It's scored like eighty four goals and forty
four matches and he's thirty three years old. He's not

(02:28):
scored a goal against the Yokers, so be looking to
break back, but they won't like lean into him heavily
because he's it's going to go back to Europe and
play with there. And Ressi Harasmus released his team this morning.
He's basically gassed. Half the team is like that said,
