[Music] It's Scotty and Ghost of Breakfast. [Music] Come on everyone, 4x6. [Music] Tukidepo Studio for the next two hours, experience game changing sound with Sonos. 131255, Tukidepo Open Line, or you know the tech 048773676. Big show, Scotty Cummings is here. Hello, like Lloyd's going to be our special guest in the city swandling forward to that chat. Our beauty. And rugby league, special day yesterday for rugby league. Not just the state of origin when you saw well smashed Queensland. But a significant day for WA and whether we are going to enter the fray to be the 18th, 19th or 20th team in the competition. I saw a pair of landies come and say they want 20. Yeah. We've got to be a chance, it'll be a snub if we don't. Yeah, so I know the WA rugby league, John Saxon, CEO will join us to give us an update in regards to what WA did yesterday and whether our consortium went forward and are we going to be a remodeled North Sydney Bears, the former NRL club? Or are we going to be a standalone state government-backed team? Have to be a standalone, don't we? Well, we don't know, Scotty. They're probably in my wheelhouse of the strengths and experts at it. Let's do a little deeper on that one. And John really is going to join us because it's a special day for the Perth Wildcats' favourite son. Yeah. One of our finest. They're very own. Alex. Alex, of course, if it wasn't for us, he would be a no more. No, who would know him? No, he would be in France. How did he meet in our studio, didn't we? Yeah. We did. Big unit. Yeah. Quite at the time. Yep. I thought he was going to be a shell. I had a photo with him, two down at the Wildcats' membership day. But you haven't been seeking other photo with you? Well, I was hosting the day. I wasn't walking around the park. No, I know. But he came up and said, "Hey, of course, I'm a photo with you." Or was it the other way around? He said, "I'll see you." He didn't go to college. It's good to go to college. That's bad. French basketball. Commentator. "I see you sitting good side." And I like my photo. We eat an opium. Oh, wow. Anyway, so I got my photo taken with him. I'm going to post it. You know, I don't know where I can post it. No, it's a little... You've got to put it in the frame with your price. Tracksuit and sort of frame it. Tracksuit is very close to going to... Storage? Good seventies. Oh, no. Yeah, I'm disrespectful. Anyway, John really is going to join us to talk about, just before the draft. It starts at eight, the draft. So, when it says it starts at eight, it'll be seriously half-assed nine before we see the first pitch. First pitch, yeah. 'Cause they come out and they go, "Well, what's you going to wear?" It's famous for what they wear. It's starting to look like a tool, yeah. Well, it won't wear a collar. So, I'll have a suit. I'll have a floppy suit on. And it'll be some French. It'll have a red T-shirt under a blue suit or something. Right, and white shoes. You've seen all the wrong. "P-E-C-D!" He won't look like a tool. He's not a tool. He's not a look-a-me, me, me, sort of vocally, so. So, good luck to him. Anyway, dreams come true. You're not a guy over in the Melbourne boy as well. He's on "Furphy." "Furphy." Yeah, he's got a beer named after him. He's just skyrocketed into top ten convention. Who is Johnny Firthy? Sorry, many of you, he talked about eight. Young, he looked like no, a long little brother. So, it's a big show, 13-12-55-0-48-7-7-3-6-7-3-6. Yes, Alex Sashin come out in the wheel with a wild cat out of his face. If he owes us anything, we really put us on the map. Anyway, so, John, really, I think he's going to be over in the sporting globe today. Daddy mills us over in the trap. J.R. has got the short end of the... Oh, no, who? I've even got the states or the sporting globe in Melbourne. I mean, I love the sporting globe, but if you go over the option, I'm going the states for the trap, let's be honest. I don't think the sporting globe will be upset about that. Now, Scotty, Tom Barris said this yesterday when, of course, Sam Edmond was all over the Tom Barris story yesterday, speaking to Gary and Tim. Been a lot of time on it yesterday. They did 10 or 12 minutes, talking about Tom Barris being wanted, three years to run, his manager wants to extend, he's being taught that he could be, you know, a security or a Richmond or a North Melbourne. It was Tom Barris when he spoke about his time and where he's at with the guards through his contract. It happens every year, and it's hardly a story. AFL clubs chasing established key position player. It's just the currency of football, and so I wouldn't be reading it into it too much. Mate, I'm a West Coast Eagles player, and unless the rug gets pulled out from under my feet, I'll stay that way, and I'm really excited about what we're doing here. Yeah, there's nothing in those comments, and had little to do with Tom, but when I have done it, he's just so straight down the line. Well, I worked with him last night. Did you really? Did you get him together last night? Come on, breaking news, breaking news. This could be breaking news right here. Okay. And also, let's, and I'm not a target of the bank guy, but take it to the bank. He's not going anywhere. Oh, did he tell you? He'd be absolutely staying put up. I don't think he's a liar. No, he's definitely a liar. I don't think he's a liar. I think he's a genuine. Doesn't sugar cut that time. He's not into footy speak. He's not, not into footy. Is he compliant? He categorically, and he said, you can set your watch to it. Around 15 most seasons, I'm going somewhere or someone's coming after me or whatever he goes on. Grow up a West Coast supporter. I love this football club, and I am not going absolutely anything. Did he say that in a public forum? Yes. Okay, and what did he say privately? That he's leaving? He said, I hate the joint. Hate the coach. I hate all my teammates, and we suck. No, no, no. I, as I said, he's 100% committed. Unless he is one of the all-time great actors. I cannot see Tom Barris going anywhere. Done. Yep. Great story. Extra bit. Elijah Hewitt's full training. He'll be two weeks away. Elijah Hewitt was there, was he? Yeah, Elijah Hewitt was there two weeks away. Elijah Hewitt's fine. He'll come back through the WAFL. Yes, he will. But do you think there's any reason to play him this year, knowing full well that how good he can be? And for me, he was the X Factor. You know, like, I think he's better than Harley Reid. Why? Because you got one. Harley, Harley, Harley, boy. Because you're not on socials now, you're going to do it here. Yeah. You're going to antagonize people here. No, we are both big fans of Elijah. We both think he's going to be an exceptional talent. Yeah. Um, he'll, yeah, he'll come back through the WAFL. And the question was, do you think he's any point planning? Absolutely. Because what he's been through, and I said this, I said this a month ago, six weeks ago, seven weeks ago. And you scoffed at me. But there was a misdiagnosis of his injury. And, and they've got it right now. He's been out. He's been a long struggle for him in rehab. And it's a tough lonely place. Well, as she said, he said, "It's a tough lonely place, rehab." And he said, "Well, this year, yeah, last year, it wasn't. We had 25 in it." So it was a tough lonely place playing last year, but the rehab group was jumpers. But, well, I think, um, no, no, if it's fit to go, you reward the boat for the, the effort that he's done. That's why he's laughing at me. He goes on. I was talking to someone last night. And we're talking about the show. And they said, "Lots of great listeners out there. People come up and talk to me." And I said, "Sometimes I'll say something." And, because it was an open forum, and it was an over-a-date. So we could swear a little bit. Why? Don't you don't have to believe me. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Silence! They knew that the boys were relentless on them. It wasn't me. And I said, "Sometimes I say things." We were talking about swearing and that sort of stuff. And I said, "Sometimes I say things and cost his head will pop up and look at me." And I'm like, "Did I swear?" "Did I swear?" "Did I swear?" "It's so normal for me now that I just swore." You just did that then. Yeah. I didn't swear then. No, you didn't. What are you laughing at? Because I just, for a very brief moment, me sentence, it looks like you've had Botox in your eyes. Well, it's a social, well, I haven't. They're just puffy. I'm very tired. Like in your eyebrows, like, like they're above high. You know, like they're, they're... What do you mean? Well, you're trying to keep them open. Yeah, I am. I am. It's the toothpicks. And they got into a loop. Like your eyebrows are a sort of look. Look, look. And I thought, you've had just a little bit of work. You weren't listening to me. Yeah, I did last night. No, just, I wasn't at a function at all. Oh, it was, yeah. It's a bad guy. It was surgery. No, no. They're just puffy and sore. You're tired. I didn't get to sleep last night, no. I'm a bit late. Those boys, she's such a prattle on. What time do you know? Again, wasn't me. What time do you know? About 11. Pardon? Yeah, about 11. It's a bit late for me. Was it a, was it one of those? No, I loved you. Love job, man. I just loved all the... You're a liar! Over you. Yeah. Oh, you know, I'm too tired to even fight that. ATO involved? Absolutely they'll be involved. Liar! That's their dude. This is getting worse. No, everything's, you can't do that stuff now. You're going to, everything's going to be above board. Scotty from scale records. I should tweet the breaking news from Scotty about... Yeah, I'm, I don't try and lure me on two days in. Which... Oh, it was good yesterday. I was busy. I just had some. You know what, I'm free of... I've just freed up my... I was scared of it. Shabbos are off. But I was so busy yesterday doing, and, you know, doing the job, you know, doing real estate and stuff. Yeah. But let me just say, right here, right now, I mean, you mean? Yeah, I mean, you seem relaxed. You seem chilled. I mean, you could probably do a couple of buttons up in your shirt. You don't need to have four of them undone. But, you know, I'm all full relaxed. I'm all full relaxed. I've been, I've got a rug coming out of it as well. But... There's my charger. That's mine. I've been looking for that everywhere here. OK, we'll talk with that during the break. He's free. He's that thing. That's what I was looking for. It's my charger. You don't need a charger, Tony. I mean, not on socials. You'll get through a whole day. You'll get through a whole day. My daughter said it's nice to talk to you, Dad. Yesterday, we just chatted up. We were busy. Like, I was busy and we were doing stuff all day. Didn't have time to stop. But then we sat down and I was on my laptop and, you know, doing deals. And she said, "How do you feel about not being on X?" And we just said, "Yeah, really good. Only two days in. And I know I will fall off the wagon at some stage." But... Cam looks at the odds over and is it two days? Yeah, well, I'm into two days now. We're about to go into our third. Wonder which way you went. All righty. Hey, a couple of these texts have come in. Thirteen, twelve, fifty, five, zero, four, eight, seven, seven, three, six, seven, three, six. What did Tom go say? Do you have lies? Shoe it better than read. And Cam he says, "We're done to fight farther time." Do not. I'll tell you right now. If this is the... My head is in product of cosmetic surgery and it's a don't do it. Don't do it. This is from Jason, who's one of our fantastic friends. He said, "Timbo, can you or Hachi release the Gostradamus Live hoodie?" No. "Oh, Lord of Four, please. Have a great day," says Jason. No, Jason, that's... That's because it's only, you know, it arches fingers on that. That's my merch. Yeah. That's my little merch that I got from the shed family. But watch this space. There's something evolving in regards to Gostradamus Live. No, he's going to double down. Gostradamus Live is going to double down his presence on social media. This would pick up his lack. Someone reckons that Murphy bluffed his way to convince everyone that he was of draft age. I don't know if he was too young to get there. Don't know, Murphy. Right, yeah. If you were Tommy Barris, would you leave the Great Golden Triangle and move to Melbourne? He's right. He's making the reason it's called the Golden Triangle. Yeah, but he's pretty fast. But he's one of those Golden Triangulas who walks around with no shoes and a beenium. Well, and something else alarming that he openly admitted in a conversation off stage when we were talking to the organizers. The son was there, a young fellow. He was the only one that was there. And he was wearing the crocs with all these crap things on him. Yeah. And I said, "Man, that's unacceptable. Come on, buddy, you're better than that little Noah." And Tommy loves him. Yeah. He's a crocs man. Yeah. And I said, "Oh, really?" And I said, "You can't stop crocs." "You can't walk around the GT in crocs." And I said, "Don't you're wearing socks with them too?" He goes, "Oh, absolutely. You're going to wear socks with them. Otherwise, you get squeaky." My daughter wore Birx and Sock last night, do you know? Socks. The Birx and Socks to dinner? Yes. She did say to herself, "Oh, this is not normally me, but I'm a mother." I'm a mother of two. But she's giving up. She's giving up, trying to put shoes on. Well, I tell you what. And I wear Birx in the morning because I just can't be bothered putting shoes on at 4.30 in the morning. But, you know what, it's only because no one sees me. I didn't expect anyone to see me yesterday. It takes a photo of people's feet when you've got some feedback, didn't it? Post it. You've got some feedback. Hey, a bit of ex-files. See if we can, because this surface yesterday. So I had a colleague of mine in the world of selling houses on the phone to me yesterday. And he said, "You are not going to believe what I'm watching in my revision mirror." How long was he watching it for? Is he at the eyes front? What was he watching? He was at the lights. Oh, yeah. He said, "I kid you not." I, you know what, I cannot see this being interesting, to be honest with you. I shouldn't have let you go, but I just cannot see this being interesting. Go, what's he looking at? He said, "The lady in the car behind him..." Oh, yeah. "Was doing a line of cocaine off the dashboard of Hirtesla." No. No. Quote, unquote. He goes, "I've just seen her use a straw at the lights off the dashboard of Hirtesla." He said this. And he said, "Yep." And now she's just wiping away the remnants and probably going to pick up a kid from school. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's, see, that's not weird. What is the world... He said, "What is the world coming to?" Yeah, well, the world's in a toilet. There's no doubt about that. What about that for a comment? That's all hope. Oh, that is remarkable. And he, no, can I just say, I'm not going to throw him under the bus in regards to who he is and his name, what he's done. That he was interesting. But yeah, he has worked in that space prior to the work of real estate, and he knows what it was about. It was your drug dealer. It was the captain. It was the captain. You mates with the captain. No, I'm not mates with the captain. You know, we make fun of that. But that's an idiot on the road. I said you're joking, you guys. If I was allowed to hold my mobile phone up, I would be recording this. I'd go close to getting out of the car. And just, we can do anything serious when you're just a gob full of abuse. Oh, that's dangerous. Oh, what happened? It's, I don't know. What about that? Isn't enough idiots on the road? Little like, coked up idiots. Anyway, that's what the world is coming to. Every time you see a Tesla. No, don't say. No, they're all the same. No, they're all the same. No, they're all the same. Don't say that. They're not. They're not at all. All righty. Mike reckons, we need a dad joke. We do. We don't, Mike. No, we do, Mike. Um, stay strong since Dave. All right, I have got a dad joke because I saw it pop up and I thought, I'm going to share this with our listeners because I actually like this. All righty. Can you just a bit of think, Tom? Thanks. My wife told me she thought we'd have a lot less arguments if I wasn't so pedantic. I told her, I think you mean fewer arguments. Thank you. Like it? Yeah, I like it too. I like it. Rock solid there. There you go, Mike. I'll tell Mike. Let's get a break away. Thirteen, twelve, fifty five. Took your dad by way. Open line. Thanks, Mike. Give us a call. Zero, four, seven, three, six, seven, three, six. Our show looks like this. Jake Lloyd's going to join us after seven o'clock. Oh, I'm going to, I'm going to join us after seven o'clock. What is wrong with Jake Lloyd in this? No, exactly. 640. Oh, boy. James Sully Sullivan talking last night, Star Roger rugby league. And after that, Johnny's... Mad on his saddle. And he's Saxon's going to join us from the W-A. Give me anything they get her all for. Just throw everyone. And seven of, at seven, lefties. Lefties. Pricketer than a lefties. Lefties, cricketers, footballers, anything to do with left hand golfers. Left handers. Left handers. Sorry. Right. So, what we're going to do there is seven at seven blind ranking. So you never know. We could be comboing up kickers with batters and hitters and throwers and all. Tricky. Yeah, a little tricky one today. Seven at seven, 13, 12, 55, 0, 4, 8, 7, 7, 3, 6, 7, 3, 6. But you've waited for it. The big one is around the corner. We've got it back into prime time on this day. This is Scotty and Guy setting for 18 degree. ♪ I will lie ♪ ♪ Understand ♪ ♪ I see clearly ♪ Birthdays, events, and some of the great moments in history. It's on this day. For barrow no day, because the little things are everything. Happy birthday of celebrating a birthday. Let's get through these June 27. Oh, June 27, eight months. Oh, my God. Eight months. Get it ready, boys. ♪ Happy birthday, Gasser ♪ ♪ Happy birthday, Gasser ♪ I mean, my mum and dad's wedding anniversary same day. ♪ Happy birthday ♪ Yeah. Bruce Johnson's 82. ♪ I wish they all could be good ♪ ♪ I wish they all could be good ♪ So he filled in for Brian Wilson when he stopped with the Beach Boys in '65. And then he left in '72 and then came back in '78. Make up your mind. Did he ever failed solo career? Yes, I said. And fellas, can I come back? I'm not that good. Paul Rooster's 61. Yeah. Can't press his way through. Rooster's left foot kick is a no. No. Unbelievable for this. Well, you talk about irony. Rooster matched Perth's water contest and gone. If ever a captain has kicked the goal, it was then. And if Paul Rooster remembers one game from this season, I'm sure it's going to be this one. What a week he's had. Captain of Victoria. And to do that in the dying seconds. Fitzroy Sydney swans. Of course, he coached Melbourne. He went a flag with the swans. Oh, there it is. Avon Bip is 58. # Oh, baby, doo # # Makes me feel the way that I do # # You know I'll catch you. # Yeah, look at the chant, too. Yes, I do. Allie Fowler. Yes. She's in Skyways. Yeah. Yep. She's the only one you remember. Yeah. She was on telly, too, when she. Yeah, Skyways. What's Skyway? Was it a home of a TV show? Oh, was it? That Melbourne airport. It was a mother's. Oh, awesome. How long that last? Oh, pretty good. I think it was in three or four years. JJ Abrams is 58. I believe there's only one person capable of achieving this. JJ Abrams. If he saved Star Wars. And now we will hear this film. Make up. I'm again. Star Trek. Star Wars. The Force Awakens. Star Wars. The Rise of Skywalker. Never saw any of them, but anyway, good luck to him. Toby Maguire's 49. Who am I? Spiderman. I'm Spiderman. Oh, fuck you ruined him. It's worth the life of your Toby. Alrighty. Leaton Ash is 48. Oh, give me. Be me the male, be it my life, leave me. What a classic 1999. Is that coming back too? Is that coming back as well? Thanks to social. We're just still playing it over here. Look at me. No. So cute. There is no way we would make no contact with him. I'll be up for your eyes, I still love him. We're used to the second album, we entered the number one charts on this day. Oh, I knew that. We're going it up. One of the saddest things in entertainment. We're passing. Because she was so good. So good. I reckon she might have been related to the lady. It was at the loss. Yes, the day. Yeah, okay, she died. That way, Troy. We're on. Legally. I know there's been doggos in movies, but we just play it safe, just say it legitimately. Yeah, we'll leave it there. Thursday, June 27th. On this day, not much. June 27th, on this day. I don't miss out in the little moments, because little things are everything. By popular demand, someone just said, give us one more going into the 630 news. No demand. I don't know. We've got a different text machine. Oh, I'd say demand for it. Unfortunately, I do. A genie granted me one wish. So I wished to be happy. Now I live with six dwarves, and I work in a mine. Oh, sneaky, sneaky genies. You're going to be real specific where the fuck is. 12 degrees head in front of an 18 rugby league. What's going to happen with that WA rugby league team? Are we going to get one in the NRL? State of origin last night. After seven o'clock, Jake Lloyd. And seven at seven blind rankings. Lefty, Scotty and Goss. Yeah. Just the replacements. Yeah. Hardly way. Yeah. Oh, no, no, no. Okay. No, there's no ring. No ring. Gosh, just go on to his library. You know, like a bit of the real placements, things. And I've never heard of them before, so... Can you imagine how funny this would be? That if everyone came to your funeral, and before you were passing away, you'd say to your mate, take my phone, and once the funeral's over, text everyone and say, thanks again. That is good. A week everybody out. So let's go to have been done before. That's a brilliant one. Let's get this underway. Sports update time. And in particular, a T-20 World Cup update. Don't forget Australia plays nobody. Afghanistan versus South Africa. It starts at 8.30. I don't know if you know. Prime. Yeah, absolutely. I'm more over-prommed. Are we going to anyone from Afghanistan coming on? We wouldn't get them on just a time difference. It was just too much. Just start ringing random numbers in Afghanistan. I might try. I did try Gilly the other day, but he's in India at the moment. Why did you ring Afghanistan? Why did you ring Afghanistan if he knew he was in India? No, I called Gilly and I said, mate, do you want to come on? He said, mate, it's two and a half hours behind. I can't come on. Yeah, you can't get up at three. Because of his connection with Rashid Khan. Do you remember when he came on? He wanted to do a very extensive good chat with the Afghanistan Skipper Rashid Khan? Just ring a citizen of Afghanistan. Just ring him. Get him on. What's the country code for Afghanistan? No. I'll have to look it up. I'll find it. Anyway, he's obviously one of the best T20 spinners, probably in the world at the moment. So he's coming up against South Africa today. It's going to be huge. They've got Nur Ahmad as well, who's their left-arm spinners, basically the left-arm version of Rashid Khan. So they're going to be- Who else they got? Really? Well, they're opener. Ramanallah Gurubaz is right up there. He's been on fire this world company. He injured himself in the game against Bangladesh. Is he the guy who did the Hemi? No, no, no. He suffered a blow on his knee. He's a miraculous recovery that way. He's the lap of honor. He's the wicket-keeper as well. He suffered a blow to his knee while keeping in that game against Bangladesh. He's got more pads. Who are they going to get through replacing? Well, we'll watch today when the teams are announced at around- Oh, they're playing. At a clock. At a clock at our time. He might still play. He might be up and about. We'll find out. They do have amazing recruiting powers. Oh, yeah, that's what he saw. They absolutely do. So South Africa, of course, they've been on the precipice a few times during the World Cup. Yeah, please. This is for prime, baby. Can you just turn him off? Seriously. Well, actually, I can do it manually. There we go. You're done. South Africa, they've been, well, very- Well, up and down this World Cup, they've been kind of on the precipice a few times, but they've been able to get themselves across the line each time. So seven successive wins. They need to win two more to secure their made in World Cup title. No team has ever won a T20 World Cup unbeaten. So South Africa and India have the chance to rewrite history this World Cup. Oh, he's texted in. Why's he texted in from Melbourne? He reckons he's working on site, on a building site, and he's got enough getting. He's got enough getting going. 13, 12, 55. Roy, get him on the phone. Get him on. Get him on, Roy. If he's not. Well, get him on after seven. He's a fan of Afghanistan. I'm seven. So, yeah, that was all thanks to Prime. Watch that today on Amazon Prime. 8.30 is when the first- We've got to go, guys. It's because I'll probably like to talk. We do. We'll talk with John really a little bit later on, but Alex Tsar is expected to go in the top two, hopefully, in the NBA draft today. That kicks off at 8.30 as well. 8 o'clock as well, I should say, but 8.30 more likely, as you said earlier, Goss is going to roll on and on. Euro, 2024 action last night. Georgia beat Portugal 2. Neil Ronaldo's cooked. Turkey beat, Czechia 2-1. And Ukraine and Belgium played out to a Neil O'Drawer. And... Take time. Oh, quite an impasse. Now he passes. Lowmax gets another. It's a massacre. I don't know if we come back for the second half. Now, DCE went short. And I got over. Moses is there. Lowmax comes back in field. Now, they're going to run it. They're going to run it. Dylan Edwards got a try. That is full time at the MCG. Game two is run and done. Pack your bag, get your ticket. Make sure you bring your toothbrush, because we're headed to Suncorp. Just some of the action last night in a state of origin two at the MCG. Over 90,000 was there. James Sully Sullivan is our NRL expert. Well, you predicted the New South Wales win. But I'm sure you didn't predict. It was going to be so one-sided. Good morning. Hello, guys. Scotty listeners. Well, as we saw, basically, in origin one, where we thought, mind you, at 20 to 10 at our time in origin one, we thought it was all well and done. But last night, wow. 34, Neil. A complete dominant performance, say at one stage of penalties. And Scotty will know all about this. So, penalties were 4-1 to New South Wales. I know Queensland have ended up winning the penalties. But it's where you get those penalties. And one of my big, big things, boys, is possession. New South Wales had 68% of it at our time. They should have had 34 now, and they did. You're all about game management, weren't you? And as you say, penalties is what the penalties, what sort of impact they can have on the game, during the game. But you're all about game management. We're going to go ahead to Suncorp for the decider, which will be massive. But that is a building and now makes it 5-1 at the G so. Yeah, Scotty. That's right. Yeah, and at the end of the day, it was brought into the side to control that part of the game. The game management, the kicking game was outstanding. It hit over 370 metres. Got the player of the match. So, he did it. But it was set up with a four-pack mate. We questioned Payne Haas, because he wanted to be a painter. You know what, for Queensland, and he was early. And at it, you know, I give all of them. I thought, I'm quite an Angus, quite an Liam Martin, Cam Murray. That's where they won the game. They dominated them in the first 25 minutes. And then we mentioned the bench. And you see, our bench really took over the job, Spencer, in there again. He's a beast, that boy. I tell you, one block I did look after, didn't I? Ragged old Reese Walsh. All night. All night. He tormented him, said, "Come at me." I went at him. Yeah, they got a flogging. And just quickly before we move on to this weekend's fixtures and the fixtures that start back into the normal competition, I saw the incident where it was 34-0 and they all came in, and there was pushing shove, and there wasn't much in it. One guy got set off for 10 minutes for rubbing the hair of the opposition, rubbing the hair. Liam Martin's coming, and yeah, just a little head rub. Well, they reckon the head rubs started the incident, gosh. Oh, please. So, yeah, exactly, give me strength. What a soft sport that is. Seriously, they are seriously as weak as dishwater. Don't bite, Sam. Don't bite, around 17 starts tomorrow night, and the Bulldogs taking on the sharks at home. Yeah, it'll be game. Obviously, Bulldogs hitting in six got their pants pulled down last week. Take on the sharks who have had a break. So, you know, if the sharks get to be serious, they're going to beat the Bulldogs. On our today core and the way things are gone, Bulldogs, the one they last fought at home. But, well, we'll wait and see. Long time since the Bulldogs played finals, but I'll get the sharks. What do you reckon they're warriors and Bronx over in New Zealand? Mate, this is massive. We saw last week what the Warriors got their pants pulled down, so literally on the goal case. But the Broncos have lost through it. Well, you know, they had the boy in between, and that's crept up on everybody. So, the way the season's going, the Warriors need it, massive. Because at home, they're going to disgraceful this year. They want two from six. I'm going to go to the Bronx. I think they'll be desperate. And they've talked Adam Reynolds made come back a little bit earlier. Since they need him now, but he's not there. It's a reminder, lean them around. Yeah, I'm with you on the Bronx. And Sunday, we'll head to the beautiful Blue Mountains. Mate, the Panthers, they're going to roll out the red carpet for the Cowboys. Well, they will, Scottie. But these are the two sides with the greatest origin representation. So, this is a big one, who plays, who backs up. Unfortunately for the Dolphins, it looks like the hammer's gone. So, for that game against the Dragons, Panthers have won 14 from 16 at home. The Cowboys have not won that since 2-16. So, I think the Panthers, yeah, they'll just suffocate the Cowboys. What have you cobbled together for our multi this round? Mate, thanks to lead brakes. Mate, I'm going to go Broncos 1-12. Storm five plus. I saw a minor 6-1/2. Well, let's get a mix up, don't I? And the Rooster's minor 6-1/2. $6.20, that. Let's go. Ezra Marm, Jerome Hughes, Joey Marner to score a try any time. 13 dollars and 11 cents. And they have same day multi. Eels versus Knights. Quick bipartisan dying gag eye and Bradman best, $20.54. Oh, brilliant stuff. We'll put them on our socials and you can put them on yours as well. Big game last night. Looking forward to games through the start of origin. You have it all covered. James Sully Sullivan, thanks for talking. Rub my like. I say boys. Let's stay with rugby league right now. And because it was a significant day yesterday for a lot of the consortiums. And that was their chance to show their expression of interest, whether they want to join the NRL going forward. And the man at the helm of WA rugby league is their CEO, John Saxon. Zach, I appreciate your time. Good morning. Yeah, good morning. Goss and Scotty and guys, I must say I'm a little bit battered and bruised this morning. It's a passionate Queensland supporter. After watching my boys get hammered by a red hot New South Wales title. Yeah, I was a shallokey. It was indeed. But yeah, guys, there's a lot happening on the expansion front as you alluded to. And if I could just sort of give you a bit of a snapshot, most of this is, you know, if not all of this is in the public domain. But yesterday there was a commission meeting in Melbourne prior to state of origin two. And out of that meeting, the commission has outlined a master plan moving forward to expand the competition from 17 franchises, 20 franchises by the year. Well, they're saying before the Brisbane Olympics, 2032, I wouldn't be surprised to see a 20th franchise perhaps come in around 2030. But importantly, you know, they're looking at a new team, the 18th franchise in the in 2027, probably the 19th franchise in 2028. And then, of course, as I said, 2030, 2032 for the 20th. But from a Perth perspective, guys, look, I have to say we are in a very, very favourable position. You know that we've been pushing for a franchise back in Perth for many, many years since the Reds departed back in the 90s. But we're very close. There's the head of the Perth consortium. Peter Cummins is in Sydney as we speak. He met with the Jets two days ago. He is meeting with the Bears today, they're making formal presentations to Peter Cummins. Peter also had FaceTime with Peter Vlandis and Peter Petey from the Commission, of course, yesterday, as did the Premier was on that call. And so was Peter Tenley, who's the head of the Government Working Group. And look, there's been requesting formal expressions of interest from all interested big consortiums of which I believe there's around about 11, including five, I think, from the South Island of New Zealand, as well as PNG. And of course, the Perth bid as well. But we are well poised, closest, I think, we've ever been. And this is very real, guys, after a number of false starts over the years. So, Sako, that's great news and heartening news. Now, you mentioned Newtown and you've mentioned North Sydney in regards to those meetings with Peter Cummins. But is it pressure on you from the State Government if they're going to support this, they want to stand alone team? What's your preference as the WA rugby league CEO? Look, I think in an ideal world, I'm sorry, I'm just getting a bit of feedback. I'm sorry about the delays. But look, in an ideal world, I think we'd love to have a stand alone franchise. And that's certainly the strong position of bid consortium chair Peter Cummins. He would certainly prefer to have a stand alone building its own culture and really sort of being an authentic part of the Western Australian community. Having said that, Peter has also said, look, at the end of the day, it is what ideally is going to get us over the line to get a franchise back here. And certainly, the commission and Peter Vlanitz will have a huge influence as to what the outcome is there. And if it meant having a partnership with either the bears or the jets as long as it was, as what they brought to the table, added real value to a Perth franchise. Obviously, that has got to be well and truly considered. And if it means ultimately getting a franchise back here, that puts us in great shape. They've got a table what value they bring in terms of pathways, in terms of investment, in terms of sponsorship and all that sort of thing. But ultimately, it is a Perth franchise. It is a Perth-based franchise, a Western Australian franchise, but possibly operating under a brand name that has a lot of history and heritage as both the bears and the jets do, having been heritage cubs established back as far as 1908. But it is what is going to work most sustainably and successfully for the Perth franchise for the long term. So John, I don't mean this as an antagonistic question. It is a legit question. What has changed because we had an NRL team and it followed it didn't work at the end of the day. So what has changed now has our demographic changed? Has the NRL itself changed? Why would a team work now when it hasn't worked in the past? Yeah, well, Scotty, look, a lot of things have changed in 1996, '97. Of course, at the end of the day, the Perth Reds, the Western Reds, that model was basically, I would say, designed to fail. At the time, the administration was the Australian rugby league and dominated by the New South Wales rugby league. And when you consider things like that, the Western Reds have to pay for both incoming teams every other week. That's first and reserve grade teams have to pay for their flights and accommodation as well as their own first and reserve grade teams flying out to play away games from week to week. There was an unsustainable business model and there was never any real support from the ARL to support the new franchise in Perth. Of course, they were also playing at the less than ideal Wacker, at the end of the day, a terrible venue to watch a rectangular sport. That's all changed now with your really good boutique stadium in HBF Park. There's a lot of talk about further upgrades to HBF Park to bring it up to closer to world standard, which is encouraging. But look, the population of Western Australia, I think at a time was about probably one and a half million guys. I think now we're not far off three, I think, two and a half upwards. Demographics have changed. We've got a very strong local base here now. In fact, we're posting our best ever registration figures this year for as long as I've been involved, which is over 15 years. So we're trending upwards in terms of registrations, more Western Australian boys and girls playing the game. Just times have changed. Now the NRL pay for accommodation and flight to no sorts of things. There's a lot more support going into the game. There's bigger grants going into each club every year, $13, $14 million of grants going into each club. They're a lot more sustainable these days. The landscape has changed dramatically, Scotty. Good on you, Johnny. We're going to leave it there. Johnny Saxon joining us from the WA NRL. So a significant day yesterday and it will go forward. I get a month to prepare and then present, and then it'll be October. Let's open. Johnny's beating this drum for a long time. Johnny Saxon joining us. Good on you, Saco. I appreciate your time. After 7 o'clock, 7 at 7 for lefties, and still to come, Jake Lloyd and John Really, Alex Sa has rocked up to the draft. Jake Lloyd from the Sydney Swans, not too far away, John Really, because we can tell you that Alex Sa has rocked up to prepare for the draft, and he's wearing a beige, richy, bento-type coloured suit. I wanted to look good, but something I can look back on 20 years from now, and I still think it looks good, so I went with a simple colour. Yeah, he's got the beige. Yeah, the bone. Bone. It's actually great. It might be ivory. A little loose fitting, it's nice, nice, nice, flairy, butts. I think a little bit of French lemon. I think he's got a tribute to his mum on the inside, but she's done everything for me. He's right, they can look back at that in 20 years and not be embarrassed. Yeah, exactly right. Classy. Yeah, good on you, Alex, go get him. John Really will be talking about that. Of course, it is draft day in the NBA and the Perth Wildcats' favourite son. Great West Aussie, Alex Sa is in the draft. I want to read this one out, Rhonda from Bell Divers. She said, "Morning, guys. Not sure if you'll read out, but that's okay." No, we're going to Rhonda, but the 2020 World Cup, for humanitarian reasons, I could never support Afghanistan to win anything given how they oppress women. Years ago, South Africa was exiled from international sport because of apartheid. I don't even know how Afghanistan were included in this competition, given they don't even allow women to play sport or go into university. So, for today, go South Africa, go India, choose Rhonda from Bell Divers. That is a very strong topic, and it was very much online last night. I watched a lot of people talking about the lack of support for Afghanistan because of that, and Australia should have played Afghanistan in a bilateral series, which allows the women to play over here and show their support for women. All right, it's a very fair point, Rhonda, and I don't think you'll find too many levelhead of people who disagree with you. Good on you, 048773676. Sing it's on the 7, a number that I love. I can count the 7 colors in a rainbow up above. I can share my 7. Yeah, it's 7 at 7 blind rankings for those who don't know how this works. We get a topic, we get a hat, we get 7 in each hat, and we don't know what's in the hat. Oh, I love the song. And we have to put our players or whatever they are in ranking order, and we can't move them. So, Jack Steele was the best Jack do ever play the game. Because you left a number one spot free hoping for it. Yeah, and I didn't get it. So, this is where special gay can stitch us up and make us look stupid. Correct, and so just blind rankings, and today it's lefties. Tell us what's in the hat. What's in the hat is a mixture of, well, mostly footballers and cricketers. We've got six cricketers, we've got six footballers, AFL players, and then two little rogue choices. Okay, rogue choices. They're not rogue, they're two of the best to ever play their respective sports, but they're not involved with either footy or cricket. Good lefties, not the political lefties. No, left-handers, left-footers, all across the board. So, yeah, it's honoring lefties. Do you want to go first to 18? No, you can go first to 18. In honor of having Dan Hanabry on our show yesterday. Of course, no, that's the boarder on a guard of honor. Guard of honor for Rhys Stanley. That's just the truth. Rodeo, my first one. Taffa, I've seen him a lot of days at school pick up. Matty Pritis is in there. Well, let's see, we all good. Pritis? Yeah, pritis, pritis, pritis, pritis. Oh, I'm going from Honesty to running into the bloke. No, no, no, I'll put... I'm Taffa, he's not listening. No, he loves us. Well, I'm going to play safe and consider. I'm going to put him at a 7. That's fair, that's fair, that's fair. Oh, I'm expecting some international rights. Here you go. Ah, you're in a tough position straightaway. Buddy, Frankie. Can you use your number one spot with your first lift, I don't know. And I said, "Oh, I talked with Ronda for that early." The reason why I am concerned is if there is a cricketer who's in there, then the cricketer will be my number one. Who you often see and run into. See? All good, isn't it? Come on. One, two, three... Bang! Unprecedented scenes here. We've never used a number one pick with our first one. Wow, this blokes in my top five favourite all-time sports people. Oh, well, there you go. Tough. Hard just kept getting back up off the canvas and turned into one of Australia's greatest ever and openers, and that's Justin Lange. I'm putting him in at number two. Well, you're still not sure. Yeah, number two. So, this is where I'm now caught between proverbial rock and a hard place. Oh, you're in all sorts. Because if you've got J.L. Now, I don't know whether they're just randomly picked up seven and seven or whether he strategically places them in. You don't strategically place all random, OK? Because I'm thinking if you've got Lange, then I'm going to end up with the other lefty that I want. Yeah. But now they're lost. Number one, anyway. J.L. we'd be able to do number two all-time. Phil Mickelson, left-hand golfer. Pratt. Yeah, that's the thing, half a sword. So, for beating a sword, he can go in at number six. Yeah. Just, how about that? Gee, there was going in at seven, must be a real crap plug. Howdy, howdy, howdy, hey. Oh, Mitchell Stark. I have, I really like Mitchell Stark. I really like the way he goes, man. I think he's dangerous, but he can slot in at number six. Yeah. Poly farmer. Whoa. Yeah, he goes number two. He goes number two. Poly goes. Oh, geez, I'll be right, Gillie. Yeah, I'll be right here. Yeah, we got to kill him. Poly, I've got baddie at one, poly at two, and Phil Mickelson at six. Yeah, I reckon we've got a lot of listeners, not because of tech, not because of calls, not because of interactions on the street, but because everyone listens to us, because they're all using the right lane of the Poly freeway at the moment. Exactly. When you go through the freeway westbound, right lane only. Right lane only. Even if you have to go left at one point. No, no. If you need to get off. Data cross. If you need to get up and lock this thing. Take yourself in the middle lane. Cut the-- Yeah. Okay, snorting tether off. I still got shit. No. You're the ones that are ruining it for everyone. Get in late. Just get on. Mitchell Johnson. Oh, there you go. Sorry, Mitchell Stark. Mitchell Johnson going to number five. Adam Gilchrist. No. I can't believe you're treating with such disrespect. No, he'd be comfortable. Number three. He'd be comfortable with me. Three behind Poly. Yeah, he'd be comfortable with that. He'd be embarrassed that he's even on the podium. No, he shouldn't be. I think he's got a new dog. Awesome. I think honey's on the way out. He's got a little multi shitsu, whatever it's called. That's not-- If it's not, I just wanted to say shitsu already. Yeah, yeah. But I think he's got a mini honey shitsu. A mini shitsu. That's small. Yeah, well, at the moment, it's probably going to pop. You sure wouldn't need to wrap the walk by. I don't know. But I saw Mel walking-- Come on. --the other shitsu. Come on. Get ahead. Get ahead. Okay, she's running out of-- really need some good ones. Wee. It's got Pendleberry. The Pendleberry. Good bike. Tell you it's number one. Who'd like to ask? What was that? Oh, you'd do. You'd just have this thing. I just-- I'm trying to think of who else could be in there. I have put Pendles in at number three. Jake Lloyd joins us after about 720. Three. For Pendles? I think I'm one of-- done at JL here. But anyway-- Where have you got Pendles at three? Pendles at three. Where have you got JL? Two. My cussy. Oh, I missed a cricket. Ah, seven. That's a good-- What? What? Seven. Oh, yeah. Oh, wow. Wee. Kind of in the night. What have you got at six? I've only got four and five left. Who have you got at six? Nicholson. Oh, fuck. I remember you having a beer with my cussy world before I'm visiting. OK, I've got two left. One and four. One and four. One and four and five. One and four and five. Whatever you got. Oh. Oh. Man. I think-- you know what? Because I'm very confused. Who you got? I've got Lionel Messi. Yeah, they're black. That's all black. Lionel. Yeah, Lionel. Oh, miss. Um, I think-- I think I'll have to put him at number one. I think I'll have to. Yeah, I'll have to put him at number one. Lionel Messi, number one for you. Yeah. Marcus Bonton-Pelly is my next one out. Depends who's the last, who's the last, who's the last? I've got one foot baller, two foot baller, two cricket now. One baller. I'm going to have a foot baller. I know that. Bont will go in at five. On Tempelli. Oh. Here we go. Yeah, no, don't mind it. Charlie from High Five records should be ahead of Gillie. I'm very happy. I've got JL's partner here. Oh, I'm meant to be Hayden. Yeah, Maddie Hayden slot into number four. So, I'm pretty comfortable with that. Oh, I think I've done it again. And Simon Black. I don't think I've lost one of these yet. Oh, mate, my, that far away is not probably-- I don't think I've lost. Simon Black at four. So, your top seven? Is Maddie Pritis? Mitchell Stark at six. Mitchell Johnson at five. Matthew Hayden at four. Scotty Penbridge at three. Justin Langer at two and Lynelle Messy at one. Not even close. I mean, I've ordered it. I've ranked him perfectly. No, I don't think close. Seven Mike RC six film. Wickers and five Marcus Bontum Pelli. Four Simon Black three. Adam Gilchrist two. Poly farmer one buddy Franklin. Take it to the bank. Take it to the bank. Your podium is pretty strong. Take it to the bank. It's over. All righty. A 12 pass. 70 if you agree or disagree. 13, 12, 55. 0, 487, 7, 3, 6, 7, 3, 6, 6. Lefties. Let's take a break. Jake Lloyd's going to join us in the Sydney Swans. Beauty. And we head across to Belmont and catch up. We've joined really ahead of today's NBA draft after seven. Here we come. Building up like it. Here we come. Oh no. Here we come. Oh no. Here we come. Yeah. But while cats are on the ground. While just build your build away. Couple of quick texts before we take a break and get to John really. We missed Jayo. Great scorchers. Hush behind Mickelson. Puts it in favor of Scotty. Says scorcher listening up there in Brent. Get on your scorcher. We're cool. We're cool. We're cool. That's going to come back and bite me. Some stages in it. Good call. Yeah. We're going to take a break. We are going to get John really up. It is a big day. A massive day. And Alex is excited. He's got the suit on. He's explained the suit. He's got the Versace on. He wanted some shiny buttons. Now what jacket do you want to wear? The cream, the bone, the off-white, the white, the ivory or the beige? Yep. Sounds great, love. Thanks. And he's gone with the bone. Alex had this to say pre-draft ahead of today. Of course he will be going in the top three. I would imagine. Let's take a break and we'll come back and we'll discuss that. And more with John really from the Perth markets. I think I can get back winning on any team I land at. You know, I'm pretty confident that. You know, I think my defensive hostility and offensively me being able to play different spots make me, I think, an impactful player on winning. I mean, I'm willing to join an organization that's willing to take a chance on me. And, you know, I just want to impact winning. You know, and be a really impactful player on wherever I land at. For me, it's more important to be drafted, you know. I think, again, at the day, that's what's most important, you know, and you just got to be grateful for that. You know, I've been doing my best in my workouts and that's all I can control. I was ready from day one when I was down to the NBL and that's pretty to the work I put in over there. The weight room and, you know, all the great facilities they got over there. Just a reminder too that our seven at seven was thanks to Matabo celebrating 100 years of German innovation. It's 100 professional quality quarters, power tools on one or 18-volt platform. Matabo celebrating 100 years. You're the Matabo man. Yeah, I love them, I love them. How's your platform? I've just, I'm outlining all the things on the wall. You stick about that. You know where those guys are at? Yeah, you're going to be one of those. So, you know where they go. Here, here we go. In Matabo. How many have they got? 18, 100, 100, 100. Oh, up to 90. But one 18-volt platform. Yeah, that makes it so simple. Thanks to Matabo. We can tell you that the NBA drafts on this morning and over in the States, I saw that to Danny Mills, sort of the head of, sort of like, the basketball recruiting and all that sort of stuff. Well, he's the one we go to when we need... Well, he's at the call phase. He's there. Like, he's almost like sitting on Alexar's lap. He's probably, he'd be number one in the organization. If he's gone over to the draft, he's got the plum trip. He's got the plum job. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Obviously, the number one new man... Well, I would imagine so. And, you know, he's got a man... The two I see would be shipped off to Belmont. That's what I'm thinking. John really is the coach of the Wildcats, live from the Sporting Globe. Another one with being at the Sporting Globe, let me tell you. It's not quite the Barclay setter in New York, but, Jay-R, appreciate your time. Good morning. Good morning, boys. I'm Morris Shortson, Paula. It's like the guy at the Belmont. You are. Have you had a look at the get up, that the big Frenchman's wearing? No, I don't even dream of that type of stuff. And, but what an exciting day for him, huh? Yeah, it was, yeah. And for the Wildcats, we've played, you know, all about a 12-month part of a longer journey than that. But, I mean, you must be very proud of the whole franchise and the role you played in developing him as a young man, stroke basketballer. And today's the day. Yeah, it looked a great day for the South family and Alex. And it's going to be a memorable one for Perth. But the one thing I'd like to say in all of this, the guys that probably don't get any credit or enough credit with this, are the three young assistant coaches that spend a lot of time with him. You do love him. We've missed him, ain't it? It's good to hear your voice. We'll get on to what you've been up to in your break. But you do rate your assistants extremely highly, don't you? And you give them a carte blast with their ideas and their interaction with the players. So, look, you want to give players freedom to use their skill? The same thing with the assistant coaches. And there's a reason they're on the staff, as I believe in them. And I want them to bring all their creative ideas. And, you know, Alex is a great example. Hi, I'm Harris, Ben Hentel, David Quarra. You know, when we're not traveling, so good, given Bryce confidence. So, look, they play their role just as much as anyone. Hey, I'm just got a good text in here from Johnny's. Is Danny there, so Danny's obviously over at the drafters. He just launched Sculpe around, and anyone who at the end of the day doesn't get drafted, he just goes and drops a business card in front of him and says, "Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey." Hey, hey, hey, hey, see Alex just went at one or two, or three or whatever. He went out and we could do that for you. Does he just pick up the blokes who are shattered and disappointed right now? Yes, he's there to be a motivational resource for the people that are looking to join the perk Wildcats. And, Alex Sorrow is a great advocate for what we were about. So, Danny's there to do his job. Yeah, next star was amazing. So, is there a part of you, as you're about to sit down at the sporting globe in Belmont and watch the draft and find out where Alex is going? Is there a part of you hoping that he doesn't get drafted, that he could come back and play next? It's a good question. That question is, are you the most selfish man in Australia? Oh, very good. Gossip didn't play off form this morning. It is unbelievable. Thank you, thank you, John. Where do you reckon you end up, Jaya? Where do you reckon he ends up? If you were to have a wager? You're going no lower than second. Yeah. But Atlanta, I'm led to believe, and again, I'm only been reading it online, Atlanta haven't basically given him an in-person workout. Have they seen enough? Oh, look, that's for them to decide. That's above my pay grade, but what it is is Atlanta, I'm sure would have liked to have him work out. They didn't, Alex's people didn't do that. But Atlanta, if they want to show some testosterone, they can take him number one side unseen. Yeah, Washington, Houston, of course, which they got that from Brooklyn, San Antonio. Hey, Jaya, you know, and I don't know who this boat is, but he's a little fella. It's a true one of scouts, and it might be a letter. The one of the Aussie scouts for the NBA, lives in Albany down south. That is true. Yes, absolutely. Is that Atlanta? Off the radar. Oh, that's a great question. Because no, I don't think so. But he's a guy that's floated around a few teams. But he did spend a lot of time here. Yeah, he's from Italy, he's got four for eight. Well, that's true. He's talking about basketball. That's grand. That's true. That's true. He's amongst you boggles. He's amongst you boggles. He's amongst you boggles. He's amongst you boggles. It's the ground zero for basketball, telling across the globe. Yeah, I know. But hey, Jaya, we're obviously all about Alex Sarbitt. Yeah. There's Johnny Firthy has jumped out of nowhere. And he looks like he's 19. He looks like he's 12. But what do you know about Johnny Firthy? Yeah, look, he's a great story. That's really slipping under the radar, because of the great job MBL does with the next stars. But 18 months ago, no one really would have thought he would be on this stage. So to the kids' credit, he's just progressed over the last 12 months. And as you said, he does look 12-13. So he's your traditional late bloomer. He was at Kansas University this year and had a successful year. And the experts were saying he'll be in the top 20 for draft pick. So another great story for Australia. Yeah, absolutely. Brilliant. Looking forward to Alex Sarb. Fingers crossed he goes early and we can rejoice. And, you know, it's all about us and the Wildcats. He was in the studio for that I've taken with him down there. It'd be nothing without J.R. and the waltz. Well, maybe I did a lot for him. Don't worry about that. What if to your complimentary calls? Yeah, don't worry, mate. But don't worry, mate, when he was having a bad day, we made out that he was better than what he was. Hey, J.R., what about our other man? What about our other man, the pepper? He's going all right for the boomers. He's racking up some numbers. Looking forward to him coming. Yeah, Elijah Pepper for people who don't know who he is. He's actually an Aussie. His dad played in, like, what is now the NBA 1 over in Victoria for a number of years, checked up with an Aussie girl. But then Elijah moved over to the U.S. when he was about 8 years old. And just someone that I've kept tabs on over the years and his college career has finished and he joined us. Yeah, it's exciting. Hey, we know that Usher is not coming back, but we know Dude Little Lees and you've got Bryce's other import. Obviously Danny's over there. It's all very well and good to be there for the draft. But it is a big time in the NBA, isn't it? That's sort of July month where G League and all that sort of stuff goes on. Where are we out with? Who else we got? Picking another sort of a cherry off the stem somewhere to bring over to play for the Wildcats. Yes, like we're exploring next our opportunities. We got spoiled with Alex, so we can't get ahead of herself and just think we can wave a magic wand and it'll be Alex Sire every year. But we're quietly confident about where we're at with that. And that'll give us great flexibility with our import, third import spot. So all things are going the right way. We'll have another next star and a prospect we're very excited about. But then the flexibility that gives us with our import, with our roster is exciting. So hopefully in the near future, we can take care of our final two roster spots. And last one before we let you go. Is the worthwhile Cat salary cap as big as Sydney's? I just try to get our players better so they can become number one draft picks. Thank you very good point, Mike. It's too good. It's quite strong. And we thought that was trying to meet some role. There was an opportunity to throw a shot across the bear with the kings. Just doesn't want to fuel the fours. Well, we've killed off a couple of their owners. Any media manager? Any manager. We survived. Hey, Jay, I appreciate your time, mate. It's exciting. What have you been doing? We've missed you. Yeah, what you're doing, John? What have I been doing? I've reunited with my family for a little holiday. Beautiful. And then I went to New Zealand to check up on our young guys playing over there. Ah, cool. Good on you, mate. I appreciate it. Enjoy the draft. It was first one said the sporting club. And the wings are a burger for breakfast at the sporting club this morning. Ah, probably a burger, huh? With a bit of bacon on it. Yeah. That's 17 B's. Yes. We're off here at 8 minutes. I'll see you in 18. See you, boy. See you, mate. Good on you, John. Really love our chats with him. Live from the sporting club, Belmont. If you're going that way, you want to get involved and have a look at the draft. Head across to the sporting club. One, screens galore, great atmosphere, brilliant food, great drinks. Have a coffee on us as well. NBA draft at the Barclays Center in New York. But if you're in Perth, get to the sporting club, Belmont. JR is here and a whole lot of the Wildcats. Red Army. Let's get a breakaway and come back and wrap things up. Friday, tomorrow, please. Is that a girl back? Ash Prassel? Ash Prassel back tomorrow? Yeah, Ash Prassel is back. We're going to be chatting with Lloyd Meek. Oh, beauty. Yeah, the Big Rock. He's doing good things for Hawthorne. They're here on the weekend. Of course, they take on the West Coast Eagles. It'll be a good game. Scotty and Goss. That's two hours done and dusted. Here are the best bits. I see you sitting good size. Gossage. That's a good thing. Gossage. That's bad. French, basketball, commited. I see you sitting good. Good side. And I like my boot. We will eat in a pub. Oh, wow. Anyway. No, no. If it's fit to go, you reward the boat for the effort that he's done. It's bloody laughing at him. It goes on. I was talking to someone last night. Sometimes I say things and Koss's head will pop up and look at me and I'm like, what are you, sweet? I'm a Swede. She's so normal for me now that I just, you just did that then. It looks like you've had Botox in your eyes. Oh, well, I just, well, I haven't. They're just puffy. I'm very tired. Look in your eyebrows. Like they're above high, you know, like they're, we're trying to keep them open. Yeah, I am. It's the toothpicks. And they got into a loop. A colleague of mine in the world of selling houses on the phone to me yesterday. And he said, you are not going to believe what I'm watching in my revision mirror. Alex, I kid you not. I, you know what, I cannot see this being interesting to be honest with you. I shouldn't have let you go, but I just cannot see this being interesting. No, what's he looking at? He said the lady in the car behind him. Oh, yeah. Was doing a line of cocaine off the dashboard of her Tesla. No. Yes. John, really? Is there a part of you hoping that he doesn't get drafted that he could come back and play next? That question, that question is, are you the most selfish man in Australia? Oh, my gosh, this is in playoff form. This one is unbelievable. Thank you. Thank you, Joe.
