Speaker 1: Abby off this morning. Bethany Grace in the Gabby seat
Speaker 1: feels like minus two right now, we'll get to seven
Speaker 1: and Tom Wright from the Brumbies in before Friday Nights
Speaker 1: game tomorrow night taking on the Crusaders at Geo Stadium. Gee,
Speaker 1: it'll be a home ground advantage, but it gets this
Speaker 1: fresh tomorrow night. The Crusaders will struggle with this weather,
Speaker 1: will they?
Speaker 2: I reckon They're the one opposition where they're probably on
Speaker 2: the level playing field.
Speaker 3: So the class Church is a little bit fresh to right.
Speaker 1: So the Kiwi's a battle hardened when it comes to
Speaker 1: the cold.
Speaker 2: I suppose, yeah, without talking them up too much, but yeah,
Speaker 2: they're used to this.
Speaker 3: A little bit of brisk weather in the morning.
Speaker 4: I think, do you know in Rocky then there's that
Speaker 4: there's the movie I think it's number four and he
Speaker 4: goes to Russia and he has to train like in
Speaker 4: the cold. No, yes, no, It's like that's what the
Speaker 4: other teams need to do when they go to Canberra
Speaker 4: to be able to face up against the.
Speaker 1: Brother If you were to continue that comparison, I suppose
Speaker 1: if they're the Rocky coming here, where the Ivandrago So
Speaker 1: we're still have you seen Rocky.
Speaker 3: I have, but I also know how that movie finishes.
Speaker 1: We don't want to be We.
Speaker 3: Want a bit of good guy.
Speaker 5: Yeahs bad his villain.
Speaker 1: You're parking, I mean we shook hands before and your
Speaker 1: hands it's ice cold. Your car's outside.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I humbly park outside.
Speaker 2: Make the missus text the double garage and it's just
Speaker 2: a big single.
Speaker 3: As we were saying, basically.
Speaker 1: We talk about this and we've had trade's call in
Speaker 1: and no one can refute it a double garage in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, or really any that's been built in
Speaker 1: twenty whatever, it's there's no double about it. I mean
Speaker 1: we need to add an extra meter to the side
Speaker 1: of one of those things to be able to get
Speaker 1: two cars in and open a door.
Speaker 3: It's like it's like a match. It's basically just a
Speaker 3: King single.
Speaker 2: It's a it's a little bit of the room, open
Speaker 2: the door, put the groceries down, or it's park really
Speaker 2: close and doing one of the doors.
Speaker 3: And it's just a nightmare.
Speaker 5: I mean, as a real estate agent that works at.
Speaker 4: Ray White, if you don't you know what your home
Speaker 4: is worth, can we give you a chip?
Speaker 1: You can find Betho ray White. You can google her.
Speaker 1: But if you want to move more houses, start getting
Speaker 1: these these developers to add a meter onto the garage floor.
Speaker 1: That's a selling point, mate. People have moved to those houses.
Speaker 5: That's actually an actual double garage, a.
Speaker 1: Real double garage. I saw a photo of you with Indy,
Speaker 1: your beautiful little girl, out on the park before the
Speaker 1: game a couple of weeks ago. Is that right?
Speaker 2: I would have been post game after the game. Yeah,
Speaker 2: havev a little run around. She She's got all of
Speaker 2: about forty five to a minute of running around, and
Speaker 2: she's like, all right, I want to go home. She's
Speaker 2: seen dad, and then she hits a waltz about ten
Speaker 2: ten o'clock at that point, so she's had enough.
Speaker 1: It's a privilege for the kids of the players to
Speaker 1: actually come on the park. It's what we would all
Speaker 1: love to do, is a kid. By the way, this
Speaker 1: is again a long time ago.
Speaker 5: I don't know, back in the seventeen hundred, it's not
Speaker 5: that long ago.
Speaker 6: I don't know if you do you remember, do you
Speaker 6: remember when you were little, were you able to jump
Speaker 6: the fence and actually go and listen to the coach
Speaker 6: speaking to the team at a break in play like
Speaker 6: a well, if it was AFL, it was quarter time.
Speaker 1: Did you ever so much?
Speaker 2: I do have really vivid memories of playing at halftime
Speaker 2: and stuff like that. When I was like a junior,
Speaker 2: let's say under six is to under teams, they'd get
Speaker 2: us on at half time and play or even pre
Speaker 2: match before the teams were warm up, and that was
Speaker 2: always like, you know, gold medal. That was the best
Speaker 2: thing ever. And then you'd stay and have hot chips
Speaker 2: and pie and you know, do all the rest for
Speaker 2: the rest.
Speaker 3: Of the game. But our game was more important than
Speaker 3: the main game. Yeah, better in our career.
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's a massive you when you're a kid,
Speaker 1: but particularly when you get to when you see the
Speaker 1: size of the players. When you're little and you get
Speaker 1: to see your heroes out there, it's a big deal.
Speaker 1: You go out to school, visit and stuff like that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we definitely get out as much as we can.
Speaker 2: The schedules now, you know, we try and line up
Speaker 2: as much as we can with the schools on like
Speaker 2: lunch breaks and stuff. We do a little bit of
Speaker 2: training it like we go to maris or eddies, try
Speaker 2: and connect a little bit there. But yeah, some of
Speaker 2: the interactions we get with kids that end up coming
Speaker 2: to the games and they say, oh, do you remember
Speaker 2: seeing me.
Speaker 3: At school and stuff like that.
Speaker 2: Yes, I definitely little Joe or Eddie from so and so.
Speaker 3: So there is cool little connections there.
Speaker 2: To see a little bright spark on some kid's face,
Speaker 2: you better believe it.
Speaker 4: We earlier were talking about the State of Origin and
Speaker 4: one of the players were saying that their breakfast, what
Speaker 4: was it was?
Speaker 1: Did you see that breakfast? Who was that? Brian to
Speaker 1: I've got here about that breakfast you had on game day?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've seen that. He runs a pretty unique.
Speaker 1: One two bacon and egg burgers, six cans of coca,
Speaker 1: bowl of hot chips, and the caramel late. Now that's
Speaker 1: sloshing around as some big fellows running toward me at
Speaker 1: the start of Game one. State of Origin. I don't
Speaker 1: think it's going to stay down very long. What's your
Speaker 1: preparation on game day when you wake up?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm fairly routine, but there's no Coke zero involved,
Speaker 2: caramel latte or anything like that. But I'm pretty basic.
Speaker 2: In a few pieces of toast, and then at lunchtime,
Speaker 2: spaghetti and half an avocado and then.
Speaker 1: So car bloading before the game. Still, I mean that's
Speaker 1: a classic. You do that part through that?
Speaker 2: Yeah, read just by the book mate, nothing nothing crazy.
Speaker 2: I am pretty diligent that I don't like to skew
Speaker 2: off too far to be fair, but the service station, well,
Speaker 2: to be fair, it works for him players on the
Speaker 2: field every time he takes parts.
Speaker 1: Game one out of one. That's true.
Speaker 4: I'm sure there's that person the team though, that does it? Like,
Speaker 4: who is the person in your team who is just
Speaker 4: notorious for a servo breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Speaker 2: He'll hate me for saying it. He actually runs out
Speaker 2: for a captain. He's a little bit of a and
Speaker 2: you can probably tell boy his physique if you saw him.
Speaker 2: But he's pretty loose with his diet. I won't say
Speaker 2: what he has because I don't want to let go.
Speaker 1: But it works.
Speaker 3: But it works for him.
Speaker 2: He's on good money, he's the captain of the team.
Speaker 2: He runs out for gets all the luxuries. Park's really
Speaker 2: close to the ground.
Speaker 1: He will absolutely kill it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but he's also got to buy lunch today because
Speaker 2: he lost the bet. So that's and so I'm pretty
Speaker 2: hungry for lunch. Obviously, you can imagine, how do.
Speaker 1: You go on when you come back after for an
Speaker 1: off season, and do you do they still do skin folds?
Speaker 3: We do.
Speaker 2: We actually just had them the other day. So a
Speaker 2: few of the boys were pretty safe. A couple of
Speaker 2: the guys crept up a little bit, which is a
Speaker 2: nice reminder that, you know, a little bit more green
Speaker 2: on the plate, a little bit less.
Speaker 3: Pot for some of them.
Speaker 1: It's a famous story and we're bouncing around codes here,
Speaker 1: but Jonathan Thurston would turn up, much to the chagrin
Speaker 1: of some of the other some of the bigger boys
Speaker 1: after an off season who were nervous going to skinfold,
Speaker 1: and he would famously walk in eating a burger as
Speaker 1: he was getting the skin fold test. He's just he's
Speaker 1: had a crazy metabolism. He's a lean guy. How you
Speaker 1: travel all right, you don't.
Speaker 3: I'm okay, I don't skew off too far.
Speaker 2: I've got a pretty good nutritionists at home that keeps me,
Speaker 2: keeps a lid on.
Speaker 1: Doesn't give you the park in the garage, the.
Speaker 3: Good dinner and the nice very good. But a few
Speaker 3: of the boys.
Speaker 1: Easy trap.
Speaker 5: Imagine if they had that radio right, get kicked.
Speaker 1: I tell you to be a lot of dead air.
Speaker 1: I can tell you that right now. I'm speaking on
Speaker 1: behalf of me. Okay, the Crusaders. It's Friday night, it's
Speaker 1: GOEO Stadium home finals, or at stay here and look
Speaker 1: at top Spot all of a sudden just looks a
Speaker 1: little bit tricky. I can't remember the combination of games,
Speaker 1: but I think Top's playing bottom, so I think that's
Speaker 1: a lock. But we can move into second place here,
Speaker 1: and that makes a big difference when it comes to
Speaker 1: actually playing finals in camera, doesn't it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, awesome opportunity for us.
Speaker 2: I think the game that could open a window for
Speaker 2: us to go first is just prior to us. So
Speaker 2: how much notice of that will take, it's pretty much
Speaker 2: up to us. So we'll probably just block that out.
Speaker 2: We probably won't actually see the end of that game,
Speaker 2: so go about business usual. But yeah, you know, in
Speaker 2: three weeks time, if we're sort of looking forward to
Speaker 2: that opportunity to play at home, this is a massive
Speaker 2: game for us.
Speaker 1: Tomorrow evening, good, good, excellent, So much going on at
Speaker 1: GOO two. You're going to go out to the Matilda's
Speaker 1: on Monday night.
Speaker 2: Monday is the night before DKA, so I could be
Speaker 2: under the pump there. But at the point that does
Speaker 2: actually interest me to a few of the lads, we're
Speaker 2: talking about trying to get out of that just because
Speaker 2: it's obviously our host of stars playing. So if we
Speaker 2: can get some tickets that may be a little little
Speaker 2: convoy obviously head.
Speaker 1: Out, yep, yep, you know you've got to pass.
Speaker 2: You can just yeah, well do those ones were from
Speaker 2: the Brumbies and the Matilda's security will be like, who's
Speaker 2: the Brumbies?
Speaker 1: You might not let us in, No chance, no chance.
Speaker 1: We'll see you tonight tomorrow night at Goo Stadium, teaking
Speaker 1: meek at the Matilda's and Liverpool goalkeeper joining us in
Speaker 1: an hour as well as we count down to that
Speaker 1: Monday night game. But Friday night footy is what we're
Speaker 1: excited about. Good luck out there, mate, and I mean
Speaker 1: just getting to the car without freezing again and then
Speaker 1: tomorrow night playing against the Crusaders. Go the Brahms.
Speaker 3: Thanks guys, appreciate it.
