    (00:22):
    Welcome to On the Ranch, brought to you by the wonderful
    Molly Malones on Flinders St. E.
    It is episode 210 of On the Ranch right here on 2025.

    (00:47):
    It's Tuesday the 5th of August and I'm at the table, the big
    white table. In.
    Lovely Fusion Network territory.I'm Rob.
    Hello. Here you go.
    That guy Morgan. Yeah.
    Good day. Everyone, we're in the old
    boardroom here at Fusion Networks as usual on a Tuesday
    night, banging out another Rep. The sun has gone down.

    (01:09):
    It's suddenly cool in here. Golden hour has passed us it.
    Was a bit warm before. We took our selfies in golden
    hour, as you do. Yeah, OK.
    I'm just going to leave that there.
    The cool of night has kicked in.Billy's here.
    Hello. Hello.
    How you going? I'm.
    Good. Thank you.
    Let's throw that away. That came from notably, not at

    (01:30):
    the table again. He.
    He likes to schedule appointments for a Tuesday night
    A. Lot of Tuesday night
    appointments slightly. I must admit, I think he might
    be doing something. Do we take this personally, Rob?
    No, I don't take anything Pete does personally.
    Yeah, right. No.
    Good point, Fairpoint. There's no point.
    Fairpoint. No point taking it personally.

    (01:52):
    Man man can wear a suit, but I'll tell you about a suit.
    Yep, he can wear a white suit. He might have to soon on the
    ranch nq.myshopify.com pick yourself up one of these.
    Black cap. Black cap, There's not many
    left. OK, I have a picky blinded.
    Cup. Not many.
    Yeah, there's razor blades in here.
    No fighting. No, no fighting, Fighting.

    (02:12):
    There won't be any fighting tonight because Pistol's not
    here. The antagoniser.
    The Sting, as we like to call him.
    Yeah, the Townsville sting. The Townsville Sting If you have
    a quick look at the North Queensland Cowboys Stampede,
    have a search for Pete Coventry and the Sting.
    Look for a post around 2018 you might find 1 pistol blazing, 2

    (02:32):
    guns. Had an idea it was a dream and
    it did not eventually. And I don't I don't remember him
    ever dressing up as anything like the Sting.
    I do remember face paint, but not to that.
    I don't think I've ever seen oldPistol Pete in the face paint.
    Yeah, he's done it. Really.
    Yeah. There was a group of us that did
    it. One.
    At least one. I remember there's I've heard a

    (02:53):
    lot about dressing up as old Hulk star Hollywood Hogan.
    I've never seen that happen either.
    Yeah, yeah, Yeah. Well.
    I don't think he's got the 24 inch pythons to pull off the
    singlet. Let's just say he doesn't have
    pecs, yeah? Yeah, I might just add to.
    I keep hearing this 24 inch pythons isn't it?
    24 inch Python is not big, I guess not even a metre.

    (03:15):
    Long president's name, I think he means.
    I think he means a circumference.
    Yeah, circumference, these are the pythons.
    Nah, yes, yeah, yeah, these are the pythons.
    But. Yeah, even 20.
    There's 39 inches to a metre like.
    Yeah, yeah, big muscles. Big 24 that'd.
    Be have big muscles. I'm just doing this.
    I'm just. Yeah, yeah, you're doing.
    Good. The old 20 fours I.

    (03:35):
    Was going to say old Pistol Pete.
    I used to call him Pirate Pete. Yeah, because someone stole his
    chest. Yeah, I like it because it suits
    the Where's the rum? Yeah, that's true.
    Where's the rum? Going very cracking of Pete.
    It is a little. Although he's much more of a
    Bundaberg type person. Patriot there he is.

    early 2000s. Tipping got some great
    recommendations in it. Tipping, but not the yeah,

    Yeah, send us in a message. Particularly I want to see some
    speak pipe after the game. I want that fresh, raw emotion.

    We don't need an Irish Scottish,South African, Caribbean.
    Got a safety Alaskan Indian, please, non Indian accent.
    Just just ring up and be yourself.
    But tell us what you think aboutthe game and the team.
    Just do a bit like I did. We have a week when I couldn't
    make it in. I was travelling down to a

    (07:07):
    wedding in Byron Bay. Yeah, wedding over a year, by
    the way. Wouldn't it, wouldn't it be
    amazing if Pete left us a speak pipe?
    Oh, that would be knowing that he wasn't going to be here
    tonight. I put everything in that speak
    pipe. I, I, I put more content in in
    in a minute and a half and I think Pete put in the whole
    show. That's would be unusual.
    Rumour mill has gone wild this week, hasn't it?
    Today especially. This is This is Gossip Girl

    (07:30):
    Townsville audition. This is a little look this has
    been floating around for a little while.
    Can I say? Can I say spotted?
    Spotto. Yeah, you can't say spotted.
    Spotted. Spotted.
    Was that buzz? Who says that?
    Or Molly. No, that's Gossip Girl.
    Oh, is it? Yeah.
    Spotted. I wouldn't know that, so your.
    Kids will you'll, you'll. You have two girls, don't you?
    8 and 10. 8 and 10 you. They'll get into Gossip Girl in

    (07:52):
    a couple of years. You understand this soon you.
    Know what they're watching rightnow?
    The KK pop demon hunters. I've heard about that show, but
    I have no idea. What?
    Over my head. What kind of a title is that
    like? It's a animated show about.
    It's blown up. Demon hunters #1 and, well,
    they're. It's a massive.
    Huge Is it an anime show or is it a?
    It's animated, yeah, and with ananime kind of style, kind of,

    (08:15):
    but sort of half that, half 3D. Right.
    Yeah, OK. When I say 3D, not like 3D
    glasses, but you know 3D. You know, like Toy Story.
    Yeah, just I've got to get something off my test because I
    spoke about this to someone thismorning.
    OK, Do you remember 3D TV? Yeah, maybe you get the glasses.
    They didn't go well that. Didn't happen long, did it?
    They no. That was a good, what, 6 months
    to a year that happened. And movie you could, yeah.

    (08:36):
    You get free movies. Yeah, that was a thing.
    But that went a lot longer. Yeah, and they still
    occasionally release them for kids.
    Well, that's what I thought. Yeah, but you're not.
    You're not getting your latest movie.
    But anyway, look, I don't want to tie everyone up, but just
    remember that Val's a thing about 20 years ago. 15 years ago
    3DT VS at home. Avatar 2 in 3D.
    Yeah, I think that was the big one, yeah.
    Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But.
    Moving on, I. Really fell asleep watching that

    (08:57):
    movie. K popped in.
    So back to the rumour mill. Rumour mill spotted this.
    This spot, oh, this has been going for a while.
    If you thought the C5 Galaxy that landed at Townsville
    Airport today was big and you fought the Antonov, the ANI
    think it was an AN-224. That was a one. 24124 of a 225
    was the mirror of it. That's a big plane if you think

    (09:17):
    125 was big from Ukraine and this is a bigger thing of a
    Townsville airport. This is Townsville's one of
    Townsville's sons. Favorite son One of favorite
    could be the favorite son. Could turn into an even more
    favorite. Returning home.
    The return of the Mac. I'm surprised, you know, when
    the plane comes into the gate. I'm surprised I didn't have the
    2 fire, you know, the trucks with the water.

    (09:40):
    Yeah, I'm surprised I didn't have that coming in.
    Yeah, they had the fire trucks. Maybe.
    Well, and then a. God of honour.
    God of honour on the way. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
    Balloons and fireworks and all sorts.
    Maybe the, the Cowboys, you know, the, the, the the cowbell.
    Yeah, bring it the start of the game.
    Absolutely. Could have rung out as he came
    in off the gate. I'm not so sure that this was
    meant to be a fanfare visit. I think.

    (10:02):
    It's a little bit of a sneaky what are you doing here?
    One super boot Josh Hannay spotted at the Townsville
    Airport. Townsville Grandma's favorite
    son, by the way. Yeah, well, Townsville Grandma
    is he? Yeah, he went.
    Townsville, Grandma. Yeah, OK, very good.
    Josh Hannay, seen at the Townsville Airport, has been
    floated around as in the market.Let's just say, and I dare say,

    (10:25):
    look, I'm just going to throw itout there, that he may have been
    here for negotiations. We, we, we don't know.
    I would suggest that our coach who has been on this podcast
    last season. Yes, look it up and the season.
    Go have a listen and the season before dual guest of Onga Ranch.
    So one of our favorite guys, ourfavorite coach just quietly, I
    think, I think the pressure is afever pitched.

    (10:45):
    Warranted or otherwise? Yes.
    Sorry, not not warranted. Warranted is definitely,
    definitely. I think it is warranted.
    Every single person I've spoke to today, the number one thing I
    have said when they come up to me is honestly just straight out
    of their mouth. It's time.
    It's time. That's what I'm hearing from
    everybody. Yeah, everybody who knows that
    I'll do this podcast straight up.
    They go more go more go he. Doesn't quite have the full

    (11:07):
    time, he doesn't quite have the full backing of the board, but I
    think Reeves has actually said he's backed him, so that's
    that's close enough. Yeah, I mean, it is hard when
    you've got 13 players that are mostly a lot of them could be
    starters that. Well, that's like Souths, Yeah,
    have an injury list longer than their starting squad and they
    and we almost do, too. And no one's calling for Wayne

    (11:28):
    Bennett's head. AFL got an AFL coach got sacked
    today. Last week.
    He had the full backing of the board.
    Yes, just saying it. Was oh, that's that's the worst.
    DS coach Simon Goodman? Really.
    Yeah, he got sacked this morning.
    Yep, a couple days ago. Full backing of the board.
    Yeah, yeah. That's usually the final nail is
    when they say the full backing of the board.
    That's yeah. Yeah, well, that's why I say

    (11:49):
    he's. He hasn't quite got the full
    backing of the board, but. He he pretty much has.
    Yeah, that, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
    Pretty much has the DS. Billy makes a really good point.
    We have an amazing injury list the.
    DS just absolutely flogged West.Yeah, but do you see what
    happened with St. Kilda?
    Well, yeah. Like that was the biggest
    comeback in AFL history. They've got pants.
    That's fair. Yeah, they.
    Are a bit of a rabble, but anyway.

    (12:11):
    Josh Hanay seen at Townsville airport.
    Speculation is out there. We've all.
    Can I just read? Can you read out or can I read
    out a injury list? You go.
    Like listen to the names. Cliff O, McIntyre, McClain,
    Mckayley, Lauden, Duffy, Tilagi,Derby.
    I was gonna say Derby, Tomalolo,Villa Valleja, Valleme, Chester.

    (12:31):
    Sorry, I got confused. Bothered too Billy, army, Valea
    and Lukie like that is 1 hell ofan injury list.
    That's your A grade team. Right.
    Well, you've got the well, you've got Jason Tamilano.
    There's two props. There International.
    There's a couple of there's a winger, there's two wingers.
    Yeah, 2 centers. Yeah.
    Murray Telangi, Origin winger. Yep.

    (12:52):
    And a half pack. I mean, Lord suspended, so
    let's. Take half back look at look.
    At the injuries, quad calf, calf, knee, Knee, ACL,
    hamstring, Quad foot, calf ACL and we got one jaw and you got
    one suspension. Every single every single thing
    is like a soft tissue leg injury.
    Do we need to do we need to lookat what's going on here?
    Haven't we also talked about, wetalked about the ground in the

    (13:14):
    past strength? And conditioning coach, there's
    always been a bit of an issue. There might be a little bit of a
    of we need investigation, that'swhat I'm saying.
    I thought Pete was going to comeback to us this week with the.
    Yeah, the groundskeeper. Yeah, with the science of the
    ground, the soil, and yeah, yeah.
    It says a lot of things. We do have access to a ground
    expert, that's all I'm saying. A soil expert.

    (13:34):
    Soil expert, which is ground. Maybe.
    I mean, I guess grass is ground.Do they have much soil under
    that grass in the stadium though?
    Well, this is what I raised the other day.
    Remember I brought up a thing about the concrete.
    Is it concrete based or is it you know, I'm just saying like.
    I can't imagine it's full on. Well, maybe it has to be soil,
    wouldn't it? It'd have to be soil, but how
    much topsoil do they put in? Where do they come from?

    (13:55):
    Is it sandy loam? Is it?
    You'd have to re topsoil it after every week.
    Yeah, you're definitely spreading some sort of soil on
    there sometimes, maybe not everyweek, but you get Coochie Hydro
    Green out of it. Get my mate, get my mate.
    What does? She do she come and play on your
    front lawn. If they want to train up on in
    my area, feel free they can havea actually no they.
    Have a crap no that that snap your their ankle and your nice

    (14:17):
    soft grass. They probably would.
    Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure. That's not nice to do.
    It I will shout out mortgage grass it is.
    It is nice if you want to get. Grounded, it's nice if you do
    take your shoes off and more floppy do the old die hard.
    Make fist with your toes with your grass.
    Yeah, yeah. When when your place was the
    POTUC, that was one of the best things walking out.
    Very overdose, didn't have to drive across town to get it.

    (14:37):
    Out front here isn't isn't too bad.
    Actually, no, this is. This is pretty good too.
    It's some water. It is Buffalo, though it does
    need. Some water.
    Is that Buffalo? Yeah, it's Buffalo.
    It's not, it's not. What is it?
    King George Buffalo. It's.
    Not that it's a Sewalter. Sewalter, Buffalo it.
    Could be it could be. I have no idea what type of
    Buffalo, but it is Buffalo. It's not the same Buffalo I got.
    No, I can tell you that it's it's.

    (14:58):
    There's multiple different typesof.
    Buffalo. I'm not a huge Buffalo man, I
    must say, but this is pretty good Buffalo as far as Buffalo
    goes. But.
    Josh Hannah kick slot a goal from the corner on this surface.
    He could do it on anything. Yeah, he probably he could do on
    anything. Super Boot.
    He could probably train our kickers how to kick a goal.
    We could have done it about lastyear, yeah, we could still do it

    (15:18):
    about this year. It's still it's not bad, but
    it's still not great. Just quietly Speaking of,
    actually, it's pretty good now that Zach Labot's taking the
    kicks, but. So we we got a little bit
    sidetracked there. Yeah, Josh has come to
    Townsville. He has.
    Everybody's saying it's for an interview.
    Well, the club's probably going to have to say something soon
    because it's everywhere, everyone knows about it.

    (15:40):
    And where there's smoke, that's fire.
    Where the smoke that's fire, they're going to have to come
    out and give Payton the full backing of the board.
    It could just very well he's here visiting people he knows.
    So rumour has it he's got some family in town, maybe down in
    the Moran Bar area, so maybe he's just going for a quick
    drive down to see some friends. And what's he been?
    Hasn't he been assistant coaching for Queensland?
    So he could be here scoping. Could be scouting for next year.

    (16:01):
    Scouting is probably a better word.
    He could have come to see the Great Barrier Marine Park
    Aquarium. Maybe not.
    Oh. Yeah, I think he's jumped the
    gun on that. Got to see magnetic oil a.
    Little late either way. Might be heading over on the
    ceiling. He.
    Fled to the wrong town to go to the aquarium.
    Did he should have gone to Cairns.
    He might have flown in here and driven, driven home to Moranbah.
    That's true. You'd probably fly direct to
    Moranbah, but you never know. Too many high vis on that plane.

    (16:24):
    Yeah, but you just throw in a bit of high vis, he'd be fine.
    It's it. Yeah, No, yeah.
    Look, I don't, I don't think I don't want to go early, but I
    gave a feel in her own towns rule.
    I think people would be fairly encouraged to see maybe a change
    coming, perhaps. And he's done.
    I I thought Hani threw his hat in the ring back when Peyton
    was. I think so.

    (16:45):
    Back in that round of of negotiations.
    So it was between, from memory, Peyton Hani and Christian Wolf.
    I thought they were the three coaches at the time that were
    floated about because Hani was interim coaching.
    Yes. Because they sacked all Green.
    Yeah, yeah, yeah. Here we go.
    Second, in September 2020, he was overlooked as full time head

    (17:05):
    coach of the Cowboys. He announced he would leave the
    club despite being under contract.
    Yes, there you go. He got a little gypped at the
    time he was. Overlooked in 2020, maybe now is
    his time. We'll see.
    It's. Been five years he's done and
    he's assistant coached the Sharks and Queensland State of
    Origin in the meantime. Well, what do we truly know
    about how good he is as a coach?Does anyone know truly how good

    (17:26):
    he is? Like, he seems to be going
    pretty good. Everyone seems to love him,
    everyone seems to think he's a good coach, but how do we know?
    Well, we won't know, yeah. I mean, do we want to go with an
    unproven coach? Is that the right thing for the
    Cowboys? But who else is there?
    I'm not sure who. You're not picking up Adam
    O'Brien. What's Siebold doing?
    No, I still think we should No. That was a joke, everyone.
    I hope so. That was a joke.
    But I think there's one that's been overlooked.

    (17:49):
    I don't know what his contract looks like, but what about Terry
    Campisi? Yeah.
    Well, the Blackhawks, well, lasttime I looked for at the top of
    the ladder, I'm thinking, well, maybe you know something.
    You know who I'd kind of like and we'll never get him and it
    just won't happen, but I'd kind of like Wayne Bennett.
    No, no, honestly, I'd like WayneBennett.
    We almost there isn't there is almost got him.
    There isn't a bigger myth in theleague.

    (18:10):
    You don't reckon? No, I reckon.
    Give him a a squad of stars and he can, he can do anything.
    Yeah, yeah, right. That's why he's a successful
    Queensland coach. That's why he's was successful
    at Brisbane. Hear me out.
    Because he had a team of superstars.
    I mean, it helps. Oh, look at him, it helps.
    Look at him now, Look at him now.
    Souths have got injury riddled there and they're they'll.
    Give her a mess, they'll be. Picking up a wooden spoon.
    But even when they do have a full squad, what have Souths

    (18:33):
    done lately? Yeah, I don't know.
    I just have my faith. The Knights, when he was there,
    it was a rabble. Was he at the Dragons rabble?
    No, Anytime there's a team like Origin or.
    Team of superstars when he was at.
    Broncos like there was no competition.
    Yeah, great team. There was no competition for
    players because everyone was playing for wanted to play for
    Brisbane. Yeah, everyone was.
    Yeah. No, I still reckon he's got
    something. Right, there's no Craig Bellamy.

    (18:54):
    All right, here we go. I I would put.
    Bellamy well ahead of. No, you know what?
    I I'd agree with you, but you'regonna got me there.
    Withdraw. You're not going to get Bellamy.
    Bellamy. He's just resigned.
    Option 2. OK, go ahead.
    Gas gold. No.
    No. He wouldn't coach anyway.
    No, he's too old. No, I like us.
    I might be the only person in Townsville he likes Gus, but I
    like. I I don't mind Gus.
    No, I don't want him coach, but he's a.

    (19:16):
    NSW man through and through. 100% he's the most biased one
    eyed NSW person in the world. I wouldn't want him coaching the
    Cowboys. But he's not, he's not, he's
    not, he's not a dance, but he's just.
    No, he knows his stuff and he's prepared to call it out.
    This is the thing I think we need, and this is where I was
    going to Bennett. He's a hard ass, hard head.
    Good thing that Bellamy hard asshard head.
    I would have fought Peyton hard ass hard head.

    (19:36):
    I think we need someone who's going to turn our boys into men,
    you know, We just seem so soft bellied at the defence line.
    You. Know going to expand on that?
    Yeah, Wayne Bennett knows how toget the best out of players.
    Yep. Generally, I think so.
    Craig Bellamy and. People were so loyal to him,
    like Ben Hunt, like you know, he's, he's troops.
    They love him. Yeah, Craig Bellamy has.

    (19:56):
    I don't know if he's if he gets the best out of he clearly does
    get the best out of players, butI think he does it because he
    sets up standards, standards butalso.
    In the fear of God. Paths so he can identify the
    weaknesses in a potentially don't get me, I'm totally
    speculating. He can pick up the weakness in a
    player and know how to turn thatinto a strength.

    (20:17):
    OK, and then that player, but also he people talk about him.
    He gets players to focus on their job.
    They're not looking at what theydon't really.
    They do care what other players are doing, but they focused on
    their job. So your thing to the best of
    your ability. That's right.
    Yeah, and that's why you get absolute superstars coming out
    of Melbourne and anyone who any Melbourne reject generally

    (20:38):
    doesn't do well under any other system.
    Yeah, because they they just haven't got it.
    They might there's there must besomething and I I'm no bellamy's
    got a bit of a no Dick head policy.
    Yep. Yep, he's a genius.
    He's a genius coach. He could be.
    Be you a best coach in Australia?
    Yeah, he's in any coat. Potentially.
    Who? Who's better?
    He's got to be up there. I don't know who's better.
    The only other thing with the Storm is they play.

    (20:59):
    I don't like their style of play.
    OK, niggle hard. Different thing.
    No, I'm not. Niggle and interrupting stuff.
    They will bend the rules as far as they can go if there is a
    loophole in anything. They will actually bend it as
    far as A and they will. That's what I'm trying to go.
    They'll bend it so far it breaks.
    And they have. They did 100%.
    But even like chicken wing tackles got outlawed because of

    (21:20):
    the storm. Good point.
    Yeah, the Storm do tend to find the the line and they'll push it
    until the NRL has to legislate against.
    It the whole wrestling yeah thing in tackles was Storm.
    Yeah, chicken was so good. All that sort of stuff and
    that's that's where they get their advantage.
    They're very good in the ruck and wrestling and all that sort
    of stuff. So anyway, that's that's beside
    the point. We got no idea how Hanay

    (21:42):
    coaches, and I know what you're saying, a proven coach would be
    ideal, but how many are out there?
    There's not in the market. And and a lot of the proven
    coaches that are available, theymight have come off their
    greatest years. It might be on the back end of
    their career, maybe. Well, the two we were just
    talking about for the most part.Particularly that.
    Yes, exactly. Yeah.
    I don't know who else you'd say you.
    I mean, they used to regard Des Hassler as as brilliant, but

    (22:05):
    it's not working at the Titans. Yeah, it's true.
    Again, though, that's more a Titans thing, isn't it?
    Yeah. There's not anybody in the Gold
    Coast, anybody ever gonna go well there.
    Probably not to Gold Coast. Doomed.
    It's doomed. Gathered you do a I'll mate and
    retire there but well looks people.
    I'll come out and say I reckon, I reckon it might be time, Might
    be time. As much as we love the Sheriff,

    (22:26):
    don't get me wrong, he's our number one coach on the podcast.
    Might be, might be time. I think it might be next year
    and there may even be. I'll put it out there.
    Han a one year as assistant. Yeah, Peyton as Head and Peyton
    moves on. I've seen and we spoke about
    this in the group chat. Yeah, I just can't see it

    (22:46):
    working. What happens is every single
    time there's a bad loss or a loss, the first question in the
    media conference is, is a timingstep aside.
    Yeah, you know, is it Hannah's time?
    And then like it just, it's likea festering saw for that whole
    season. And then it just gets worse and
    worse. I think that is just something
    you can't do. I think it's a a bad move to go

    (23:08):
    that way. Yeah, I.
    I can see in theory why it's a good move, but I think it just
    practically, it just doesn't work.
    And then, you know, you start getting this thing.
    OK, well, Payton's on his way out.
    We know he's leaving next year. Who's really driving the team,
    who's making its decisions for recruiting and all that sort of
    stuff next year? I think it it's just, I think it
    just doesn't work. But particularly.

    (23:28):
    Make a good. Point but.
    Particularly the second we get pumped and you know every single
    person's knocking down the door saying when you leave it.
    The other part is when you look at it, so we did go through the
    injury list and there's what, 13players who are completely who
    are 13 first graders who are not.
    Playing it's all team. We are basically a Queensland
    Cup side out there half the timepretty much and if it wasn't for

    (23:49):
    Tom Dearden we'd be we'd be absolutely flogged everywhere.
    We would be cooked. We'd we'd get relegated almost.
    You got to wonder though, I think Todd Payton's got a way of
    playing that the players are notbuying into with this whole
    Queensland Cup side, the Queensland Cup.
    But you know what I'm saying? The.
    Shift in all the positions. Trying this and trying that it

    (24:10):
    doesn't seem to be working it. Doesn't seem to be working.
    I know a lot of the position changes are due to injury.
    Due to injury. What are you gonna do?
    Yeah. And that might be why Peyton
    gets another year, is my argument.
    Not because of all those injuries, because the board
    goes, you know, the public are gonna rat on him regardless.
    I just go, yeah. Towns are so fickle like that.
    Yeah. Like we love, we love the team
    when they're going good and thentwo weeks later we hate them.

    (24:32):
    We're just talking about that earlier.
    Yeah, yeah. But.
    That's why I think his contract might be seen out and if Hannah
    is coming in, why he would come in as assistant.
    That's the only sort of out thatI can see.
    We're pretty rich club, I mean, we've got the money to pay him
    whenever we need to. Yeah, I just, yeah, I don't want
    to jump in, change coaches for the sake of changing coaches
    because that must be what it is when there's a that injury list.

    (24:55):
    The only thing that's and there's.
    Problematic. They're all young players too.
    That's the other. Part very true.
    The problematic thing is that we're getting to that time of
    year where the merry go round starts.
    And if we do, you actually want Hanoi.
    And this might be why you're saying it's a good idea to lock
    him up as an assistant. Yep.
    If we don't jump on him now, then he could be the next
    supercoach and he might be coaching somewhere else because
    we didn't do it now because. There's a handful of other

    (25:16):
    coaches looking. So a.
    Handful of other clubs looking for coaches.
    Exactly. So it might be that other teams
    kind of force our hand if we want to make sure we lock him
    in. And you know who would be
    chasing him? You tell the Knights.
    Yep, Peter Parr. Oh, that's a very good.
    Point, who is now CEO of Night. That is a very solid point, yes.

    (25:36):
    Who knows Josh Hanay very well. Very.
    Well, Yep, yeah, that is a fantastic point you make.
    So the idea you have to, you have to lock him up somehow.
    Yep. You have to be throwing
    everything at him going come here.
    We're so sorry we passed over onyou five years ago.
    Well, that's also a good point. Like there might be a little bit
    of, I'd say what bitterness. I just can't think of a better

    (25:57):
    one. But, you know, like, unless he
    really wants to come back to Townsville and he's to coach the
    Cowboys like he might be, is there any saltiness, you know?
    Did he want to be the head coachof the Cowboys when he was being
    the interim though? Or was he?
    He, I believe he applied for, I think he applied the same round
    that Peyton and Christian Wolf. Yeah, yeah.
    I mean he didn't get it and he left the club, so you'd you'd
    have to imagine he was probably a little bit perturbed about

    (26:18):
    it's. Changed since then like.
    I was gonna say, did did he prove himself much back then to
    say that he would be a better coach then like it's.
    Not necessarily, but he didn't have much of an opportunity.
    No, obviously his application wasn't fantastic.
    So he sort of sent a similar boat now, other than the fact
    that he was assistant coach for QLD.
    OK, so I'll quickly read this out.
    Yeah, on 20th July 2020. We'd have to bring up the stats

    (26:40):
    of how good the team was in 2020, but and it was named as
    from head coach after Paul Greenresigned in round 17 of a 22 and
    into a 2020 NRL season after five straight losses.
    Which is why we need to have a look at the team and see how
    they're going. He earned his first win and as
    an NRL head coach after the Cow was defeated the Dragons 2322

    (27:01):
    golden point. In September, after being
    overlooked as full time head coach, he announced he would
    leave the club despite being under contract for a 2021
    season. So he did have five straight
    losses that could have been just, you know, we have to bring
    up a 2020 season. Not saying that's his problem,
    but I mean, five straight losses, I don't.
    Fantastic, I don't. Remember 2020 being that great?
    But I do. I don't remember him not being
    the best coach to have in a press conference, though.

    (27:23):
    Oh. Really.
    Because he would, you know, likeTodd will, he will say, he will
    mention a player, particularly when they've done something
    good. But when a bit when the
    something bad's happened, he won't necessarily single out a
    certain a certain player and single as we did bad because
    this person mucked up here and this person mucked up there.
    Like it's more of a yeah, but. You gotta be a bit more

    (27:45):
    diplomatic and protect you. Yeah, you can't just you can't
    just go sit in front of the cameras and say this guy was
    shit and and we've lost because that guy was shit too.
    And you know, like it's maybe, but I just thought of this.
    What if, like Paul Green, what if Todd decides that he just
    resigns rather than get sacked? That's.
    An option I can't see. When Todd Payton was in here,

    (28:07):
    he, like he said that Townsvilleis basically home to his kids,
    so I can't see him leaving for that for those reasons.
    But whether or not he wants to go and coach something else too,
    like it's sort of. Or he could go to the 9th.
    But but he did, he did mention how good the Townsville
    lifestyle is where you can go and do you can go to the beach
    and go to the movies in the sameday.

    (28:27):
    Yeah, as I. Don't know if new he's too
    different to that. I guess so.
    Yeah, it's right there. Just to be fair to Hanoi, the
    2020 season, All right. So obviously, Paul Green, he
    resigned. Yep.
    So it wasn't a great season. We went 5 and 15.
    We came 14th, missed the finals and three wins from the 1st 10
    games. That's why Paul Green resigned.
    Yeah, it wasn't a good season. And then obviously Hanoi turned

    (28:50):
    up five straight losses and thengot a win.
    So it wasn't a good season. So not saying he can't coach.
    Well, you can't be a miracle worker.
    Can't. Yeah, he can only work what you
    got. But he was assistant that whole
    year too. He.
    Was assistant whole year. So he knew the structures and
    whatever. Yeah.
    And the structures and whatever clearly weren't working.
    And it's whether or not he triedto instigate something new.
    But that was five years ago. He's learnt he would have.
    Learned time, big time. And he's just done assistant

    (29:12):
    coaching in the Queensland Stateof Origin team.
    That's no which. Must mean he's got some trops.
    I mean, Billy Slater is not choosing no duds.
    You know, you think about the team, you got Bloody Slater, you
    got Alfie, you got. First only was the first coach
    to throw the captain out like yeah, yeah, yeah, however long
    and that ended up pulling out all right, so 100.
    Percent. Look, I'm not saying I'm not

    (29:33):
    sitting here saying sack Payton,but I think it's starting to get
    pretty heated. Yeah, Newcastle is similar in
    size, that's what. Very similar.
    I've heard great things about NUI.
    Everyone I know who goes to Newcastle says it's fantastic,
    but I love it big time. I reckon the weather would be
    the biggest pull for me just because it wouldn't be so
    obnoxiously hot through summer. Yeah, humid.

    (29:54):
    Yeah. Yeah, I'd still get warm, but
    not stupid. Just real quick, can I read out
    a couple of the milestones from the 2022 season?
    22. 2020 Sorry, round one. These are the people who made
    their debuts in round one, Valentine Holmes.
    Oh, really? My boy.
    Eastern Masters. Valentine what for Cowboys?
    For Cowboys Reese Robson Round 1Holmes scored his first try.

    (30:16):
    Reese Robson Reese Robson made his debut in 20/20/2020 2020
    Listen to this. Tom Gilbert made his debut Yep
    in round 4 Yep. Round 5 Amoso Tabua Fido makes
    his NRL debut. Yep.
    Who else we got? Francis Molo?
    Conley, Limuleleu. Who's killing it?
    Who's killing it all down South?Yeah.

    (30:39):
    Dejan. Arcy Pete's favorite guy.
    Dejan. Like there's some Dejan Duster
    big names who started in 2020 for the Cowboys.
    Yeah. Yeah.
    We didn't have a great season onthe the wins and losses, but we
    had some pretty big, big names that were still playing for us
    today. It wasn't working, I suppose.
    Some good names there. Yeah.
    So was that when Val Holmes cameback?
    Yeah, yeah, when he came back from America.

    (30:59):
    Was that 2020? 2020 actually that's.
    Something right about when we started the pod it.
    Would be it's yeah, I mean pretty my time.
    I think it was 2019 you started it wasn't.
    Yeah, it. Could have been, yeah, yeah,
    because we did a lot of it during through COVID where we
    did a few. A zoom one.
    A few Zoom ones, which were terrible.
    Yeah. Actually, I think we started in
    2019. Yeah.
    Anyway, so there you go. So we went through the we went

    (31:21):
    through all that during these. I've got a terrible memory.
    Pistol will be sitting here going yeah, Don't you remember
    that? He'd be he'd be shouting at his
    speakers as we speak. Anyway, around 22 Sunday the 3rd
    was Sharks putting 32 points on the Cowboys and 26 nil at half
    time. So look, we came back a little
    bit there in the second-half with a try for a big Griffin

    (31:44):
    name and a try for one Braden Burns in the 77th. 2 from 2 for
    Zach Labor in the kicking because I don't know who else
    would kick. There's no Clifford Perdue
    mustn't be a kicker. So and a 58th minute SIM in for
    one Tom Dearden. Probably a little fair.
    Yeah, yeah, yeah. But look, I can see what he was

    (32:05):
    trying to do. But did you see the claret?
    Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. He copped a good knock in the
    head for that. He's.
    In a knock, knock, he. Got 10 minutes to sort it out,
    so yeah. That's right.
    And sorted out he did, but not the best game to watch.
    Actually quite terrible. The first half was disgusting.
    The score is, it's not reflective of the first half.

    (32:28):
    That's for. Sure, I'm surprised it wasn't
    5060 nil. And it could have been like they
    made a few mistakes, but if their kicking was a little
    better, they would have my bad. Well, 26 nil lead.
    They would have been up in the the high 30s, you know?
    I think the the the bit more rain in the second-half.
    I think there was maybe. Yeah, from memory.
    And we were lucky. The score flood is US complete

    (32:48):
    completely. A little, yeah, a little.
    And we've got some drunk time tries at the end where they
    might have eased off a pedal a bit.
    Definitely that last one from Braden Burns.
    Nothing. No slide on on Benzie, but yeah,
    that was a bit of a consolation.Try as you'd expect, it's
    there's, it's hard to find a good outcome from this one like

    (33:08):
    there was. There's no silver lining, even.
    No, it's not. There's not much to report back
    on. I mean, we got injuries out of
    it. We got pumped.
    We got. Just yeah, yeah, everything was
    disjointed. There's not a lot to speak of,
    really. Funnily enough error rate there
    was 13 for the Sharks and 14 forthe Cowboys but we we considered
    7 penalties to their three so. Yeah, 23 missed tackles.

    (33:31):
    Yeah, our defence and we talk about this every single week and
    everyone talks about it, we all know about it, but our defence
    is just abysmal. It's it's just paper thin.
    There's nothing there. It's literally paper thin.
    It's worse than a training drill.
    Like, it's just astounding how bad we are.
    Yeah. Like, how can we be so bad?
    How is it possible that we're sobad?
    Like even if you have a bunch ofboys who have never played with

    (33:51):
    each other, Yep, you line them up on the line and say stop
    these guys from getting the ballover.
    Like surely you can do somethingbetter.
    Did that injury list there show Griffin name?
    Yeah, it did. I'm pretty sure it did.
    Yep, the shoulder injury. Yeah, but he's not on the, he's
    not in the injured. Yeah, right, it does it.
    OK, well add Griffin name in. So there's another one.

    (34:11):
    Yeah, there's another one. Man I actually just had a quick
    look to see if I could see anything medical on Griffin name
    so we can see an update but I couldn't see anything online and
    the old NRL physio doesn't seem to be updated much anymore.
    No. So from him I'm not.
    Too sure. What's going on with name now?
    It was a, well, it was a shoulder in the game, but I
    don't know where what has come out of that.

    (34:32):
    Two hours ago anywhere or casualty ward.
    We might have a little update here.
    Yeah, I don't know if we Nah. Nothing there.
    Oh, this isn't right. Maybe 2 seconds here now it does
    say. I'm hoping this isn't predicted
    return dates. It says Griffin Neem shoulder
    2026. It wouldn't surprise me.
    Robert Derby, knee, 2026. Yeah, if it's an ACL.

    (34:55):
    So potentially, and I'll keep looking or maybe they can keep
    looking. It's basically saying that they
    haven't had scans yet because. I'm hoping.
    Yeah, cuz well, an ACL is a kneeinjury, but then he's just got
    knee written next to his name, so it's sort of.
    Yeah. But I mean, it's kind of that's
    probably what it's gonna. Do I don't know?
    I think what they're doing is just laying the hurt on nicely

    (35:15):
    for us fans. Just. 26 for name that's
    disappointing. That's.
    What he actually? His name?
    Honestly, that was probably ironically one of his best
    games. I thought he had a really good
    game. I thought he played well.
    He 55 minutes of power is what Iput down.
    You did. You did, Yeah.
    So anyway, that's. We need to see, maybe we need to
    check, can we check X and see ifthere's any updates on the big

    (35:37):
    grift dog I? Tried to void X32 ones for that
    game. I went Tommy Dean for three
    points. I gave Marley bitten Ghani 2
    points. Bit of Ghani, Yep.
    He was solid Yep for and put in some effort for a debut.
    Normally you'd get on our debutsfor a try.
    Yes, that tends to happen. Probably wouldn't do it this
    year, but I think he's solid. I think he's great.

    (36:00):
    Everyone was has been raving about.
    I'm glad he finally got his debut and and I hope he goes
    great guns from here on out. And one point I gave to Cohen
    House. He's still it's like the heart
    and soul of the Cowboys at the moment.
    Yeah. Other than Tommy did.
    Yeah. We know what the man love
    between those dudes like. There you are.
    I'm not so sure Tommy did is buying into it, but Hesse
    certainly is. We need to make sure Hesse stays
    at the club, we need to get his so we keep did in here we.

    (36:22):
    Did Hesse? Yeah.
    If anybody knows Cohen House, please give it give the shout
    out to him. Yeah, we would love him on.
    Absolutely, yeah. Yes, we need to get him on.
    Pistol needs to get onto that. Pistol did not submit any 32
    ones because he's slack. So we don't know.
    We don't even know what the count is.
    It's going to be interesting. Somebody's been keeping count,
    haven't they? Not lately.
    It's a bit of a blind count. We don't know where we're at

    (36:43):
    either, but we can easily tot itup We.
    Can we'll? Get the accountants in.
    We'll get pizza counting in tot it up.
    He only works on Tuesday nights.Yeah, and we'll get him to add
    him up. Do you want me to do mine?
    Please Sir all. Right, so I've gone a little bit
    different. I've tried to not give it to the
    same people I've drive. We we know I love deed and we
    know I'll give deed and three points every single week.
    So we we'll just assume that happens.
    I'm going to be different. I've gone, I've tried to find

    (37:05):
    something else in the game when we're not doing too well.
    I've gone three points to my man#1 real estate agent in towns or
    Braden Burns, except for maybe Lucky Coot.
    Yeah, and yes PF it's equal. I I've wrote a couple of things
    here post contact meters, big try most meters 10 tackle busts.
    Burns is tearing it up. Trying to be positive about my
    boy Braden Burns because my boy Rob Darby has a potentially

    (37:26):
    failed me. I've been speaking.
    I've been pumping him up all season.
    Everyone bombs everything in hisdirection now.
    Yeah, I know. Poor guy.
    I can't get a win here. Yeah, he's.
    Just stuff frigging catching him.
    I'm afraid it might be a little bit like how I backed in Eastern
    Masters for a little bit too long.
    It's look that way. And.
    It's the Morgan curve it. Blew up a bit on me.

    (37:47):
    It did it got it got a bit quicknumber 22 points I went big
    Griff Neem dog 55 minutes of glory.
    I hope his shoulder is OK. It's.
    Not. Looking good.
    It's potentially not looking great off the NRL Casualty World
    site, let me tell you. Yeah, it's, it's very hush hush
    by the looks. It's not great.
    Probably not a good sign. And.

    (38:08):
    It's definitely out this week. You know what it reminds me of?
    Wokes. Did you see wokes in the
    cricket? No.
    OK. We'll come back to in a second
    and for one point I've gone. Harrison Edwards, yeah, OK.
    I reckon he had a pretty solid game and consistently week in,
    week out, I think he's doing a good job.
    Not getting recognized for it usually, but I think he's being
    solid. Chris Woakes real quick, he

    (38:30):
    England versus India, they had seven runs to win and it was the
    last wicket. Yep.
    He was injured. He had a separated shoulder.
    He came back out to bat one handed.
    He had his arm in a sling underneath his, you know, his
    white jumper, right? Right.
    So completely tucked away here. There's nothing he could do.
    It was wrapped up like tight. Yeah.

    (38:51):
    Comes out with one hand to bat. He didn't face a ball.
    Everyone wanted to see what happened.
    If he faced a ball, he went to the non strikers, thankfully.
    Yeah. And then it was Doppler,
    Doppler, Doppler. And the guy managed to get one,
    so he scampered to the end. The keeper had one hand out of
    the glove ready to throw the ball because they knew that he
    was going to run no matter what.Managed to get away of it, got

    (39:13):
    down to the face and end, of course, end of over.
    Yeah. So he got back to the non facing
    end on strike. And then I think it was the next
    ball, the next ball after that, the guy got skittled, you know,
    stumps go everywhere and that was the end.
    India won by like six runs. I did say it was the narrowest
    win in. Fantastic game, but watch, watch
    the last wicket or so it, it only goes for 5 minutes, but you

    (39:34):
    see him come out, he's got one hand.
    It's pretty amazing. Anyway, so that's basically big
    Griff name. He's he's got one shoulder on
    you. It's a slightly different sport.
    I don't know if I'd run out withone shoulder in this game.
    Not in the Not in the league. That takes us to Round 23, which
    is on Sunday. It's another Sunday after.
    Sunday game and then the other special.
    Everybody kills me. Yeah, Sunday afternoon.

    (39:56):
    But it's it's a good turn around.
    At least it gives us a a bit more time to prepare.
    Four or five PM down there at Combat Stadium in Sydney.
    It is Indigenous round. The team is Scotty Drink Water,
    Zach Laybert, Jackson Purdue Villiami, Vai Layout, Braden
    Burns, Jake Clifford is back hopefully in the five eighth,

    (40:17):
    Tom Dean at half back, Harrison Edwards, Reese Robson and the
    return of the King Jason Talmalolo.
    This is good. We need him.
    Back at prop, John Bateman at 11, Jeremiah Nanai at 12 and
    Reuben Cotter at Loch Marley. Bittengani is off the bench
    again, coming out to pick some, take some names and kick some

    (40:37):
    ass. Thomas Mckaylee returns off the
    bench, Kyle O'Donnell and Cohen Hess and we've got Jackson.
    Paulo is there 18th man this week up against the Eels who
    line up as Josh Papa Papali, Papa Papali, Josh Zach Lomax,
    Will Penasini, Jordan Samrani, Joshua de Carr, Dean Hawkins and

    (40:59):
    Mitchell Moses. Not wrong.
    Jermaine Hopgood, Riley Smith, Junior Paulo, Charlie Gaimer,
    Jack Williams, Dylan Walker and then off the bench there is
    talent of Silva, Luca Moretti, Matt Dory and Kilmar Tulagi.
    Now quick question, Junior Paulo, in relation to Jackson
    Paulo. I am not sure.
    Yeah, I don't know. He's a big dude though.

    (41:21):
    He is a he is a big dude, yes. See bitten Ganos taking Caden
    last spot then. Yes, I thought Caden Lars has
    been OK I. Haven't, he hasn't looked out of
    place to me like he looks like he has a bit of a go.
    I mean there was a. Big boy.
    There was one particular play 2 weeks ago that I saw, but it was
    like it's, it wasn't just him that sort of failed to get back

    (41:43):
    on side, but it was like, you know what I mean?
    Like it was, it was a team effort.
    Fail. Yeah, yeah, it's been plenty of
    that lately. Yeah, but it wasn't, it wasn't
    necessarily him. So.
    So it was. Yeah, Yeah.
    But it might be that he's missing his assignments as well.
    It's stuff that we don't see on camera.
    Yeah, that's exactly right. And when you when you're you're
    breaking into the to the top tier side, you know you got to

    (42:06):
    hit your marks otherwise, well, apparently.
    That's what they say, anyway. Yeah, I don't know.
    It's just, it's listening to myself say that just I might
    just shut up. You can't really play on the on
    the vibe. It's not quite it's not quite
    the castle. I'm not seeing anything about
    junior polo being related to Jackson Polo, but it has brought
    up one of my favorite stories from seven months ago where

    (42:28):
    junior polo uses a fake name to play Park Rugby union got
    busted, breaches his contract. No.
    Yeah, he's a he's a weapon. Yeah, it's he's a unit, 4:05 PM
    on Sunday the 10th, and that is at Commbank Stadium.
    So come on, the Cowboys, it's 13th verse 15th.
    Look, we're above them on the ladder.
    There's every chance this could,I mean.

    (42:49):
    We could do this, man. Not good.
    Yeah. Maybe maybe a team gets done for
    salary cap and that shifts us upthe ladder if we went from here
    on out. We would have to be.
    We would have to be some people.Some bitches.
    Yeah, it's not the first time wehave been very like 2015
    whatever we 2017 actually we. Potentially need to learn how to
    play some defence. Wouldn't hurt, wouldn't hurt,

    (43:11):
    wouldn't hurt, wouldn't go astray.
    I don't know. The Eels have got much in
    attack. They've they've been, they've
    been great. They don't, Mitch.
    But Eels, since they lost to thethe Panthers in the grand final,
    they've just been on a slide, haven't they?
    Like they just fell apart, Yeah.Which is a bit of a shame to see
    like they were. Is it though?
    It's the. Not really, it feels.
    It feels a bit sad for. Eels are, I feel.
    Sad for fans. Eels are a very mad team for.

    (43:33):
    Me. Yeah, it's like my version of
    Manly. Yeah, I don't hate him.
    I don't love him. I don't.
    You just don't care about him. I don't.
    That is nothing. I used to like him in Philly.
    Philly Moy Moy was. Yeah, good name because.
    That guy was cool. Yeah, and they got, I like the
    colours, like, you know, the blue and yellow, like that's
    cool. Yeah, but it's not.
    It's like they're copying this. Oh no.
    I think it's the yellow right? But anyway, ours is blue and the
    grey, not blue and yellow. Sweet.
    Phooy Moya Moy. Moy, Moy, Moy.

    (43:54):
    Really. Phooy Moy Moy great name, bring
    back memories. Brings back memories to the
    ladies. Sunday the 3rd of August saw the
    Cowboys go down to the Warriors in magic round, six points to 12
    in what can only be described asvery wet weather, although it
    was sunny at one point. It was kind of weird, very

    (44:14):
    strange, but the girls just didn't seem to have much what's
    the right term, coordination. They, they, they were a bit
    disjointed as well. Attack.
    It was like yeah, yeah, an attack.
    Their defence wasn't terrible. It was just, yeah, that they
    were just little disjointed fromhere and there in here and
    there. They kept trying to punch
    through the middle like trash plays.

    (44:35):
    They were. They were parked on the 10
    metres 10 metre line for so longtrying to these crash plays over
    and over and over and over and over trying to crash through
    Warriors players. Thorough through.
    Who have a massive pack. Some decent sized ladies.
    And it it just did not work. I thought just throw it around
    but they just. Use your speed and agility,
    ladies. They just couldn't do it.
    It's hard to do in the rain. But yeah, anyway, it's it's a

    (44:57):
    loss, but they'll take a lot away from that.
    I think they are, however, it's a double header, but it's after
    the men. So the Cowboys are playing the
    Eels at 6:15, also at Commbank Stadium.
    The team is, it's a little bit changed around Kira Dib comes
    back in at 5 eighth in place of oh, God, Talisha Harden, who's

    (45:19):
    been sort of playing in that area.
    No, she hasn't. But.
    China Pilata's back. China, yeah.
    China. Pilata So yeah, that's it's
    it's, it's a similar team, but it's been doing right at
    halfback. I've been kind of enjoying
    watching her play. You know, I like the idea of
    them playing after men because people don't turn up early to

    (45:41):
    see a game, right? They're not going to turn up
    early to see the ladies like they should before men.
    But I reckon you've got a betterchance of people sticking around
    after men to watch the ladies. I don't know what the Sydney
    crowd is like. You could be right, yeah, but I
    don't know what the Sydney crowd.
    Is once you're there, you've hada couple, you got some food.
    Yeah, I reckon you might stick around more.
    Maybe we'll we'll check it. I'm correcting myself here.

    (46:02):
    Rosie Kelly has been playing 5/8for the girls.
    That's I couldn't think of her name.
    That's why I kept saying Talisha, but Talisha is second
    row so that was never going to work out.
    But anyway, that's the ladies at6:15 PM taking on the Eels.
    They're 4th and 5th. The Eels are 5th on the ladder
    so we'll see what happens there.Kira Gibbeck could be a good

    (46:22):
    game to watch as well, and that's going to be straight
    after the men. Have you ladies?
    Mollies, proud sponsors of On the Ranch as we speak, are
    serving up $15 crumb steaks because it's Tuesday night.
    And we're here doing a podcast for you fine listeners.
    Hell's wrong with us. We should be.
    That's so much we love you keep.Adjusting my microphone and it
    make it sounds. But Wednesday night, get down

    (46:45):
    there as you listen to this. It's $20 beer and burger and the
    burger. Believe they changed the burgers
    around every or certainly the burger of the week changes week
    to week. Friday is $15 parmy and of
    course on Saturday is the $15 Cobb loaf.
    Well, it's meant to be a Cobb loaf for two, but I could devour
    one of those. We need to organize it and head
    down Thursday night over 7:00 PM.

    (47:05):
    Trivia night, fellas. I think we should.
    Yeah. We're gonna have to do that one
    of these days. Yep, I reckon that'd be fun.
    I reckon we'll clean up. I don't.
    Know about clean up? Maybe if we bring along Mr. Know
    It All here yeah Speaking of it's not pistols multi all
    thanks to fusion networks and fusion networks has had nothing
    to do with this one. This is purely.
    This is Rob's multi got. An update on the pistols multi

    (47:27):
    for Fusion Networks, by the way.OK, my amazing admin person
    bookkeeper. Yep, Leslie.
    Has said that you know who. Who has graciously allowed $20 a
    week to go towards the Pistol Multi sponsorship?
    Until this week. Was in Townsville on the weekend
    really and has met the fine gentleman Peter Pistol Pete.

    (47:48):
    And she understands. The the first words out of her
    mouth was are you a young fellowwho hasn't won a multi in years
    and blows $20 a week? And Pete had to fess up and say
    that is he. It's a lot more than $20 a week,
    love. Yeah.
    So, so he got, he got a bit of, he got a bit of a talking to
    young Pete. That's why Pete's at the
    accountant now. Yes, and he had to quickly

    (48:11):
    apologize for his lack of winning ways.
    I cannot see him apologizing to anybody.
    He was a little taken aback. He was no, he was a little gun
    shy. He was a little gun shy.
    He definitely was on the back foot.
    Excellent. Well, he should got some video
    of that. I wish I did.
    I really wish I. Really paid to see.
    But he had to justify his his multi losses quite rapidly.

    (48:32):
    Well, I am dubbing myself in here, but I might have to
    apologize to your accountant next time.
    Well. When I saw how long and big this
    multi was I immediately thought pistol put it in.
    I said this looks like a pistol.Multi I'm going to make Pistol
    proud here. But it is a Rob special.
    It is a Rob special, it's 8 legs, but this one it's it's

    (48:53):
    every NRL game and it's the linein each one.
    But that makes it easy. So Melbourne Storm now this is
    Tuesday night, the line might shift between here and there,
    but taking Melbourne Storm up against the Broncos, I'm taking
    Storm at -5 1/2. The Knights are taking on the
    Panthers. I'm taking the Panthers at -11
    1/2. They only have to score.
    We convert twice more than the Knights.

    (49:14):
    Shouldn't be too hard. The Raiders are taking on Manly.
    I'm taking the Raiders at -6 1/2.
    I think that's that's an absolute lock.
    Yeah, the Dragons are taking on the Sharks.
    I'm taking the Sharks at -5 1/2.I think we played them back into
    4. We play everyone back into four.
    We. Tend to do that.
    The dolphins are taking on the Roosters.
    I'm giving the dolphins now. It's a tight.
    This is very tight. I don't know why it's tight,

    (49:35):
    yeah, so tight. But I've taken the Dolphins at
    plus 1 1/2. I think the Dolphins win this.
    There's not much in it. It is a home game for the
    Dolphins. I didn't look at where it is.
    I'm assuming it's Suncorp. Bulldogs are taking on the
    Warriors. I'm taking the Bulldogs at -5
    1/2. Smart.
    Sorry -8 1/2 and then the Titansare taking on the Rabbits.
    I'm taking the Titans here at -61/2.

    (49:57):
    Yeah, Rabbits. I think that's fair.
    They're a Queensland Cup side. Let's just be honest.
    And now you'd think the theory, like the last game of the round
    is the Eels versus the Cowboys. But I'm taking the Cowboys plus
    9 1/2, so. I can see it says pick your own
    line here. It is.
    Pick your own line. But why have you gone 9 1/2?
    Well, I'm giving us more. More.
    More. Yeah, OK.
    Because if we, if they get away from us a bit here, we might

    (50:19):
    come back, OK. But if they get too far.
    So anyway, it's a nine and a half head start.
    That's that's fair. It's it's also $1.50 for that
    instead of $1.90 for like plus 61/2 or whatever it was.
    It's just it I've got trust issues.
    Yeah, I've got. I think the whole city's got a
    little bit of trust issues around here, but that's OK.
    We still love them. Power play belong stronger

    (50:39):
    together, better as one that's. What they say power play that
    one. Throw 20 bucks on it at $147.80.
    Now your power play is probably going to be a little more than
    that because sports. Sorry, this bookie does not like
    me. Because you win too much.
    Well, for a little while I did. Yeah, right.
    And all of a sudden my bets get restricted.
    Isn't that amazing look? It doesn't take much, trust me,

    (51:00):
    I wasn't winning that much so. But look, we're in pistol
    territory of the money. Here we are.
    Yeah, the returns for a lazy 20 bucks.
    I'm sorry, a Fusion Networks 20 bucks which is not lazy.
    No, we worked hard for that. You did 2956 dollars and zero
    cents like it's a it's a nice round Number.
    That's a good dollar. Do you approve, Billy?
    Yeah, sure. That's new.
    That's nearly 3 grand for a measly 20 bucks.

    (51:22):
    Yeah, for 20 bucks you can't getwrong.
    Pistol is going to approve of this one.
    Yeah, he'll be proud. He will be proud of you.
    He would be proud. The only thing he would add is
    the Lions. Yeah, that's true.
    It's probably not a good pet, right?
    Now, now, Speaking of the Lions,I wasn't going to bring it up,
    why would I? But I was with him on that.
    What? I'm here for.
    And let's say he rubbed it into my face quite a bit.

    (51:42):
    Did he? Yeah, Unfortunately,
    Unfortunately, yes. Yeah.
    So that was a bit of a bit of a sad one.
    That was. Yeah, Yeah.
    I thought we had a chance at half time.
    I think we were up. It was looking pretty good.
    And then we just had a bit of a collapse and the lines got up
    over us. So which is MCG too?
    That seemed worse. It's unusual for the Lions, it
    is normally they are the ones who sort of don't quite come

    (52:04):
    through. Yeah, so Pete was up and about
    after that, I tell you, as you can imagine.
    After that I think they might they might have a good crack
    this year. Yeah, I think they might be
    gone. I know.
    Pistols. All good, all in on.
    They're gonna win it, Yes. I think you might be on the mark
    there. We'll see back-to-back.
    Maybe I could do it? Well, that's all thanks to
    Fusion Networks. Thanks Fusion.
    Thanks to Fusion Networks for your what is it?

    (52:25):
    Internet, data, computers, servers, networks, Office 365,
    backups, antivirus, you should know all that stuff.
    All that good stuff keeps your business from running.
    You do your updates not in the middle of.
    The day? No, we don't.
    We don't do them unless we need to in the middle of the day.
    We do that at night time. Most people would.
    Yeah, that's the start option. This is the start option.
    Yeah, yeah. I get up at 2:00 in the morning
    and run those things as you should, as I should.

    (52:45):
    How it should happen? Yeah, it's industry standard.
    Standard say Yep, but not in certain.
    Government not in certain certain certain people.
    Certain government departments that will remain unnamed.
    Totally unnamed. We do it in the middle of the
    day. Tipping Con Evelyn leading
    having used 3 jokers in a row on126 points.
    In second place. Amelia on 125 points having also

    (53:08):
    used 3 jokers. Kirky with the cowboy or a clown
    face? I'm pretty sure it's a cowboy
    head. Like a little emoji thing. 123
    points in 3rd place have used old jokers.
    Cowdy 38 used all three jokers on 120 points also on 120.
    Fry dog, friend of the pod, justquietly.

    (53:30):
    All three jokers used Shivo or Skyvo depending on how you
    pronounce it. On 119 points only used 2

    There's a whole bunch of people on 95 points, including Ropes,
    NTK, Dizzle, Rod and Lisa. But those on 97 might want to

    OK, dog. Cowboy chickens have got to run

    (59:11):

    It is. It's 100% open.
    Yep, go nuts. And you don't have to even use
    your real voice. No, you don't put an accent on.
    Just don't use AI. Yeah, don't use AI, that's kind.
    Of yeah, AI is an instant forfeit.
    Yeah, yeah, yeah. Exactly.
    And then we actually spend it onourselves.
    Yeah, we'll send you a bill for 100 bucks.

    (59:33):
    We'll invoice you. We go the other way around.
    Here we'll invoice you. So that get takes us to.
    I nearly jumped in the next segment.

    Our tips? That's Thursday the 7th.
    It kicks off at 7:50 PM and Amy Park Storm are $1.50 up against
    the Broncos at $2.60. Morgan kick us off this week.
    All right, I'm going to Purple Rain.

    (59:53):
    I'm going to Stormers. I'm going by two points.
    Purple. Rain, Purple rain.
    I'm going close. Game two points, 2 points.
    Yeah, I think it'll be a tight agame game around.
    Stormer might say they're struggling.
    They're not. But.
    No, it'll be a good game. It'll be tight.
    OK. Yep, Storm.
    Cowboy Chicken. Give me the storm stuff the
    Broncos every day of the week. Stuff for Bronx by how many?

    (01:00:16):
    By 6. By six, yeah, Pistol will go the
    storm here because he's not going to tip the Broncos.
    Yeah, Storm for sure. And he would go by like 48.
    Something like that. That sounds a bit doesn't.
    Understand. Yeah, victims.
    Yeah, because he's got 51 plus on.
    Actually, that could be under the beat.
    And yes, I know the math doesn'twork.
    That was on purpose. But he'll still do it.

    (01:00:36):
    The potato has gone the storm. I am going the storm by 4.
    Friday the 8th of August at 6:00PM.
    McDonald Jones. The Knights are 4 bucks, the
    Panthers are $1.25. Morgan.
    You got to go pen review. You would hope so, Bill.
    Give me the Panthers. Do you reckon pistol goes in the
    Knights? Yeah, I think, yeah.
    Knights. Cowboys climb.
    Yeah, Cowboys. Climb, Cowboys.
    Climb. You're right.

    (01:00:57):
    Yeah, yeah, absolutely right. The Potato's gone.
    The Panthers. I've gone.
    The Panthers. 8:00 PM at Gio. The Raiders $1.44.
    Manly are $2.80. Canberra for me.
    Built. Up the milk.
    Pistol would go the milk, the potato.
    Cowboy's climb Manly's in 10th he he'll be torn here.
    He'll be torn he would be because he's on the Green

    (01:01:17):
    Machine bandwagon. He is but the Cowboy Climb,
    Connor says manly but the. Climb is irrelevant.
    Yeah. Are we, are we at we're I think
    we're out. We're completely mathematically
    out. I think so, unless there's a
    salary cap breach here we go too.
    Sure, but we do have premiershipodds still, so there must be
    like the slimmest of chances. 501 I'm saying.
    Yeah, 500 five, 101 to 1. So we must still be in there so.

    (01:01:40):
    Unless that is a 501 to one thata salary brash, a bridge happens
    and then we get to open there. We're gonna have to play with
    the ladder predictor at a later date and see what actually comes
    out. I.
    I. Reckon he goes manly?
    You reckon? No, I'm going.
    The milk. I got milk.
    He would want the climb anyway. OK, done.
    Potato's gone the Raiders. I've gone the Raiders.
    Saturday the 9th, 3:00 PM Net Strata Jubilee Dragons, 255

    (01:02:03):
    Sharks a Dollar and 52 Morgan. As we always said, we play
    people in the form. Sharks are gonna kill the
    Dragons. It's gonna be a bloodbath.
    It's gonna be 120. We.
    Always say the exact opposite actually.
    Yeah, yeah, I was. That's what I'm saying is no one
    ever goes good after the basing.The Cowboys.
    That's right. Give me the Give me the Dragons.
    Shark. Shark's got him.

    (01:02:24):
    He's gone the Dragons, The potato has gone the Dragons.
    I'm gonna go the sharks. I don't know what Pistol would
    do here because both of them areabove us on the ladder.
    You'd probably go to sharks because then we could
    potentially jump the Dragons. Sounds fair.
    And you got to you got to think like Peter here.
    It doesn't always make sense. 5:30 PM Suncorp Stadium on

    (01:02:47):
    Saturday night. The Dolphins are two bucks, The
    Roosters are $1.80. Morgan.
    Yeah, I've gone Dolphins at homebuilt.
    Dolphs. The potato has gone the dolphs.
    I'm going. The Dolphs pistol would go fins
    up as well. That's a guess.
    I don't know. 735A core stadium.Bulldogs are 35 Warriors, 3
    Bucks, 20 Morgan. Yeah, so this year I've been

    (01:03:07):
    against my best self and I've gone the Bulldogs again You've.
    Really changed. Yeah, I'm sorry guys.
    Trying to win. Bill.
    I'm going the Bulldogs. The potato has gone.
    The Warriors, I'm going. The Bulldogs, Pete, Yeah.
    Would. I don't know.
    Up the was, you'd think up the was.
    They're both close on the ladder.
    If Bulldogs win, that keeps New Zealand at 30.

    (01:03:28):
    Can we get 10 points in the next?
    Yeah, That's only five games. We could potentially jump them.
    We could potentially, yeah, we could do.
    It you got to look at teams thatyou're not going to beat.
    If we played some D, we could. Yeah, everyone wants a bit of D
    Sunday the 10th of August 2 PMC bus Super Stadium.
    Titans are $1.44, the Rabbits 2 bucks, 80 Morgan.
    Yeah, Titans for sure. Rabbits are done for this

    (01:03:50):
    season. Definitely Titans for sure.
    Oh sorry, just edit around that for I'll.
    Try Bill. Give me the tits up.
    The potato has gone the rabbits.I'm going the I'm going to go
    the Titans here. Yeah, I can't remember what I
    put in in the in the multi, really.
    Hopefully I'm tipping the same way as what I put in the multi.

    (01:04:12):
    But that's a good point. Call me out if I didn't.
    I didn't even look. Good point, Good point.
    I do have it there actually, but.
    Yeah, you've gotten Titans. Yeah, good.
    Pistol would have gone probably Titans.
    You got Titans. It wouldn't.
    It doesn't matter. They're both the 16th verse
    17th. Yeah, it's, it's going to be
    scrapping. Out it doesn't make a
    difference. 4:05 PM The game that matters Commbank Stadium.

    (01:04:32):
    Eels $1.57, Cowboys $2.40. Morgan.
    Eels Norman Hardener Eels. Bill and $2.40 is value I think.
    I reckon Cowboys at Commbank last game of the round.
    It'll be an absolute blockbusterand this would be a try fest any
    other year normally. So how about we get behind these
    Cowboys and every week, let's go.

    (01:04:56):
    I like your optimism. Someone's got to because
    Pistol's not a. Pete's Got channel.
    Channeled my inner Pete. You've done well.
    You've done it's done very well actually.
    The potato has gone the eels pistol would have gone the
    Cowboys. Yep, and I'm gone the eels as.
    Well believe belong Better Together, stronger as one.
    Now for the potato, I'm thinkingof throwing the Joker on because

    (01:05:17):
    we haven't done it for a while. Yeah, not bad, not bad.
    We. Kind of need to use them before
    the end of the the self season. So the potato is going to go the
    joke and we'll see what happens there.
    I'll just make sure I hit submitand then for mine, I'm not gonna
    quite go a joke I just yet. I won't give it a couple rounds.

    (01:05:37):
    There's a few injuries this weekthat have me a little bit
    nervous, but that is round 23 there.
    You go. Well done.
    Thank you. The sale yard pay a pass.
    OK? I love it.
    How good was Happy Gilmore too? Okay, so.
    I watched it. I watched it on the weekend.
    Well, faults and Billy hasn't seen it, so we gotta be careful.
    No spoilers. I'm not gonna spoil.
    Fault on it I. Mean you could be watching.

    (01:05:58):
    You could be waiting forever forme to watch it too.
    Well, I mean, it's a golf movie.I need to hurry up and pull my
    finger out of my ass and watch it.
    Just watch the first half, I wrote.
    Absolute cinema just to get on, get under your skin.
    There's another C word you coulduse which is crap.
    No, it's not. Look, it's not absolute crap.
    It's a It's a Adam Sandler movie.
    The first, Yeah. No, that's fair.

    (01:06:20):
    It's an Adam Sandler movie. You should know what you're
    getting into. I should have known what I was
    getting into, but I figured he would have done it a little
    better. You're right in that the first
    half of the is is sort. Of first half is really good.
    I enjoyed it. I chuckled.
    I hard hard. The second-half.
    The second-half I wanted to basically poke my eyes out and
    I'd rather watch you. Got to suspend.
    The Cowboys have tries to be allover.
    Them trust me though, I can see golf doing what they do in this

    (01:06:43):
    movie. Yeah, I could definitely see it.
    I've taken it a little bit far, but I could definitely see them
    doing this and they kind of have.
    Didn't Tiger have that thing in the stage where the thing spun
    around and you'd chip it onto the green and it'd spin and
    stuff? As an exhibition?
    Yeah, there's. Something there, him and someone
    playing like some sort of like day game or something with it.
    I can see them doing something similar to this in like a NASCAR

    (01:07:06):
    stadium. Yeah, that's true.
    Yeah. In Alabama, Birmingham.
    Absolutely packed the Stalin make it an event.
    Obviously you can't have all thetrucks in that in the middle,
    but then set it up as a golfing thing.
    Yep. Where, Yeah, it's taxi golf.
    Yeah, get it down, South Carolina.
    Anyway, pay or pass the movie. I'd give it a light pass.

    (01:07:28):
    It's light viewing like don't gointo it expecting.
    I'd say pay. Don't expect Schindler's.
    List I'd say pay just make sure you've got you said pass I'll
    say pay I'd say pay just make sure you've got snacks and maybe
    a drink or two yeah and just. Are you calling it a Netflix and
    chill movie? Yeah, you might not watch the
    end of it. That's very, very accurate,
    yeah. You want to make sure you're

    (01:07:49):
    doing something else by halfway.Yeah, and this is a Morgan one.
    I just wanted to throw you underthe bus for this one.
    Hannay or Payton, if you could choose.
    Today you've you've gone againstthe pale past thing.
    I have, but I really wanted to get this in you you.
    You can't spell Payton either. No, you never.
    No, sorry, my bad. You that hang on a.
    Minute. I've wrote it in a hurry.
    Hang on a minute, this this clanI was talking about on the

    (01:08:11):
    buddy? Townsville.
    Everything Townsville. Spells it the same way.
    Same way I mean. Hang on a minute, eyes.
    Burner account I. Found your burner account,
    Morgan. It could well be.
    Your burner account. I did I.
    Did have a burner account. It was Darren Farpa.
    I think I've explained to you. Oh, yeah, the origination of
    that. Yeah.
    Darren Farpa. Yeah.

    (01:08:33):
    I look, I feel bad saying this, but I think today I'll probably
    go. Honey Bill.
    I'm. It's a toughie.
    Yeah, like it's, it's a toughie.Well, we've disgusted in like,
    you know, quite a, you know, fair few points before, like I
    don't know, it's a bit of a can I can I send it out to auction?
    Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You can send it out to the vets

    (01:08:55):
    and you can get a report next week.
    Yeah, and then you can make it. Can I get evaluation?
    Yeah, get evaluation, Yeah. Get trained in on it.
    I genuinely think we should stick with Peyton if I could
    choose today, but also I don't want to miss out on Hannah and
    he see him go to the Knights. So there needs to be something.
    They're done. I know that's totally non
    committal. If I had to choose one of them

    (01:09:15):
    today, If I absolutely had to choose one.
    Yep, Gun to your head, Hannah. Yeah, I think.
    It's yeah, it's a look to the future.
    Yeah, gun to the gun to the head.
    Sorry, but it's a there's a gun to my head.
    I love Todd Payton and I think he's done an amazing job.
    We we have to. Two out of three years.
    We have to acknowledge injuries.You have to acknowledge

    (01:09:35):
    injuries. And that's his saving grace, I
    think, at the moment. Definitely, definitely.
    Definitely before those players playing, I reckon we'd have a
    different story altogether. And a young squad, that's the
    other part of it. Yeah.
    Next payout pass. Galvin good at the dogs.
    What? Do you reckon?
    Didn't really watch much of the game to be honest.
    I don't watch a whole lot of Bulldogs games.
    No, not my favorite team. No.

    (01:09:57):
    I'm paying it. I'm paying it.
    I'm gonna pass because that's one name that I am sick of
    seeing. I'm sick of seeing it as well.
    Like they brought it up again. Like seriously, let it go.
    The Tigers just put 28 points onthe dogs.
    I'm gonna pay it, if not only for him getting out of a dump of
    a team at the Tigers and jump and chip to one of the top of
    the tables. I honestly do not care.

    (01:10:18):
    I don't think anyone else does except for Sydney media.
    Yeah, exactly. Yeah.
    And Tigers because they were booing him every time I got the
    ball. I mean, you couldn't.
    You couldn't have a beat up likethis about the Cowboys.
    It just wouldn't. It wouldn't get the traction.
    It doesn't. No one would give a shit.
    In fact, most other teams even, but it's just, yeah, it's Sydney
    centric. It's a very Sydney centric type
    of thing. The next pale pass Panthers

    (01:10:40):
    Trainers Club penalty. I didn't actually see what the
    penalty itself was. He got a.
    Suspect he got 50,000. Yeah, and spend it for five
    weeks. Five weeks, yes, I think the
    rest of the season pretty much. Yeah, good.
    Yeah. And I think I did read that.
    They took into account past indiscretions, and it's been
    every. Week right 21 past indiscretions
    from the Panthers. It's like every week he's out
    there doing his his cause and hassle every week.

    (01:11:02):
    Yeah, he's was he the same mom spraying shit on the ball?
    I'm. Assuming it is.
    But it's. Totally not.
    It's, it sounds like what you guys were saying earlier with
    the, with the rules being changed in the Storm, it seems
    like the, the Panthers are doingthe same thing with their
    trainer. And then the the NRL finally had
    to say, alright, enough is enough.
    It was so blatant what they did too.
    Yeah, I I saw it like piss and yeah, exactly, it is 110% taking

    (01:11:26):
    the absolute piss. Yep.
    Big time. To see what they get away with.
    Alright, so we're paying the penalty.
    We're happy with it. I paid the penalty, absolutely,
    yeah. I reckon even if he could have
    been stronger. Kick him out of the league.
    Not a bad idea. So you can't.
    Be a trainer for well, you're suspended can.
    Can you? Can you screw up 21 times at
    work and keep your job? No, no.
    Well, there you go. It's five weeks.
    How many weeks are left in the season?

    (01:11:47):
    It's 21. Around.
    It's gotta be around that mark. We just tipped around 23, didn't
    we? So there can't be that many.
    No, I think it's pretty much. And 27.
    Four or five. So he's gone for the season,
    assuming well. And then finals, I think
    probably. That's a deep pick it up, Yeah.
    23 Yep. Depends how deep they go in the
    finals I suppose. But anyway, next, pay or pass,
    Bowen rocket launch, pay or passmore than we know.

    (01:12:09):
    Your thoughts? It's the biggest pass you could
    ever imagine. It's the biggest hospital pass.
    That thing was a complete dud. And I understand rocket launch
    is hard. I understand it all.
    Don't come at. Me where's your where's?
    Your tweet at me. Where's your rocket?
    I don't think. Don't tweet at me saying it's a
    hard business. I get it, I get it, I get it.
    But the thing was a dud. It couldn't even go more than a
    couple meters up. Just if it if it went up 100

    (01:12:31):
    meters and blew up, I would havebeen happier.
    The thing didn't go anywhere. How many SpaceX rockets crashed
    before the 1st? But they looked impressive when
    they blew up. They proper blew up.
    That's. A good thing.
    This thing meandered around a bit and it just basically pissed
    about and then there was a bit of a steam come out of it so.
    It's a massive explode and causea Bush fire in pissing.

    (01:12:52):
    What a piss heap of a rocket. Well.
    Next one will be fine. I'll pay the rocket because this
    is Australia breaking into the space race.
    Damn straight. This is Australia.
    We're a joke. Why not?
    The world has laughed at that rocket.
    Have you seen the news around the world?
    I. Don't care about the rest of the
    world. Basically it's suppose Hicks
    down in Australia you. Need to take a leaf.
    Ding Ding Ding kangaroo bounces past and the rocket goes boom.

    (01:13:14):
    Take a leaf out of the Trump playbook and not care what other
    countries think. It is disgraceful.
    No, it was no good. No, I think it's pretty cool
    that someone he had built a rocket and then decided that
    they were going to launch. It no fair play to him.
    I agree with that. And they got the second one.
    The second one's being built. Yeah, well, well, the fact that
    they are actually building another one is pretty cool too,
    because I was just thinking, is this just some rich guy wanting

    (01:13:36):
    to realise that Australia hadn'tactually launched a rocket, so
    he wanted to race to be the first guy to do it and then
    that's it, Abandoned the plan and that's it.
    I've done it. Yeah, it doesn't appear to be
    the case. No, which is really cool.
    All I can say is I hope it was an accident and I hope it was.
    Bad and not. A miscalculate?
    No, I mean, I hope it was like something didn't go right and it

    (01:13:56):
    wasn't some sort of miscalculation where they didn't
    put enough frost in it or. Something I didn't I didn't look
    at it too closely, but I believeone of the thrusters failed.
    Didn't you need a little bit more than?
    That it seems like if one thruster failed and it I mean it
    did achieve 14 and seconds of flight.
    Flights are very flattering. Word really.
    The right flights, the right beside.
    Fly OK, it was less than. 14 Theright they they left the planet

    (01:14:19):
    further than the rocket. Okay, I doubt.
    It I'll pay, I'll pay the flightuntil the very moment that it
    stops going up. So after a second and a half.
    Because then it's falling, not flying.
    It is falling. With style.
    It was a lot. It wasn't a lot of it wasn't a
    lot of lift, I'll tell you that.There's nothing wrong with
    Gilmore Space Industries. It's probably the wrong word.

    (01:14:40):
    You just don't like anything with Gilmore.
    Did you watch the Gilmore Girls?I love Gilmore Girls, yeah.

    (01:15:24):
    normal person in the show who just wants what's best for her
    family and they make it out likeshe's some evil witch of a
    woman. Is that right?
    Yeah, I'll die on this hill. I.
