1:00Welcome to Off the Bench, thanks to McDonald's. Introducing the new Nashville Chicken Range, 100% Aussie Chicken with bold southern flavor. And your local tire power. Great, great sale now on with 25% of selected Kumo tires. Yes indeed, a very good morning to and welcome to Off the Bench. However you're finding us, wherever you're finding us, we're glad that you can spend a little bit of your rainy Saturday morning with us. There's been a light change due to illness, Hutchison out, hard drives in, but of course waking, weak out, rain hail or shine. No matter what healthy is in, he'll always front up, getting close to the storm, but he's here never fear. Pickers, good morning. Hello, Sammy, good morning. It's a bit of a drizzly old morning. We've had some rain. Good for the farmers. Good for the farmers. Good for the farmers. I get enough farmers. On my tap in back of smart cheese. He's been winging about the weather. Oh, we haven't got any meals here. Thirty two meals on Wednesday, whenever it was Wednesday. But you know what happens. I want his dad to be filled up so I can get some yabbies out of it. You know what's there there?

2:01You know what to find lawn with the farm. If it gets, if they get too much too quickly. Oh, they'll know which way. They're good for the farm. No. So it's got to be. Anyway, well, let us know. I want to sprinkle in that tree. So I said, once the yabbies come back, I'll be up there. Well, I'll be back as much. You'll have to just get them full. You'll have to get them full. Down the back as much. And Hutch is off-crop. Yeah, what's wrong with him? He's saying that yesterday that he wasn't going to be a light out. He's got what's going around at the night? It's going around. He may not talk about it all the time. There's better feel in the office. No, that's just the lurgy, the flu sort of scenario. As they say. Are you sure it's not? No, it's been a big finals campaign. There's a bit of that, too. I just need a little bit of rest, Mike. I think it's to do. And he's copped his right whack for being on the ground, unauthorized on the ground last week. I'm going to photo here that I'm looking at. Of course, he's got Nicholas on the ground as well. They got no ride to be on there. It can't see any accreditation around Nicholas's neck. No, it's not. He more he makes neck. No. He's even, he's plus one's got a plus one.

3:02Yeah, he's plus one's got a plus one. And he's on the ground after the final song, with all the players there was and families. No ride to be there. Well, I know he's made, it's, it's, it's now famous. He's done that in, in the Super Bowl and in the younger days. Yeah. But I thought those days were over now. He's, he's a, he's a, he's a CEO. That's kind of a big issue. No, no, that's the, it's a lot of common I'll get you on the ground, just watch me. Yeah. And that's why I think he's got his right whack today. That's why he's a bit crook because he, yeah, no ride to be out there. Who's the gentleman walking in front of them? He's had a security detail. I've got no idea. What's their role in all these? No, yeah, they've got a massive bigger accreditation. Not she has anyway, the kids don't. No. Anyway, but yeah, that's why he's probably got a bit, got to be crook this week. Yep. That's, and that's, that's a lesson learned. Well, that's a lesson learned. What, so we were weak on from, and this is an interesting weak this one. This is the week where, I'm ready, I'm weak. Well, yeah, we know, you know, you've been front and center of all of that just digging into the archives

4:02and rolling out some of your favorites. Yeah. From free agency and trades gone by. I've done much of that yet. This is the week two where people who've been putting a job off around the house for all 40 season, I'll get to it when 40, and this is the weekend they got to get to it. But the rain might have just given them a little less. Well, that's an out, that's an out for sure. I mean, the way it's two, we're out there to do that, Moan. So what have you been procrastinating? Can't Moa went long? No, not a wet one. What have you been procrastinating that you've now got to turn your attention to and you've got no more excuses to get to zero, four double three, nine, eight, eleven, sixteen, one, three hundred, twenty three, fifty five, forty eight. By the way, two, one, I am last night. Did you feel the earth moved under your feet? No, I did not. Scott didn't come tumbling down. No, no, no, I didn't feel any. Four point eighter on the Richter. I was dead asleep. Dead to the world. Didn't get you. No, I didn't wake up. Well, but with a 130 K's at a moment, wasn't it? Yeah, it was Danny Lane gaffer.

5:03That's the down parrateretry. Yeah, yeah, so now I'm a country, I'm a country down there. I didn't, I didn't feel it. No, I bet I'll make a lot of people what we did. Did it, did it give anyone a real, it woke me up? Did it really? And on my date, when I mean, I mean, when I'm like, you're on that bow up mattress though. Well, yeah, you, of course, you feel even. I mean, it's having a hard time wanting to not, he wants, he wants dad to sleep in the bed with him. So we're trying to just ease my way out the door. Yeah, it's not going well. He's eight years old. No, he's 30 to nose. He's only four. He's only four. But we, so, oh, the bar mattress was a bit, it was getting bounced around a little. But it worked the beautiful EV up as well. Yeah. So, but really, we're for EV. If you go, if you had just after 10 past nine in the early market. So if it gave you a little bit of a scare or if it, if it caused any, and we hope everyone's okay, we haven't got any reports of any serious damage or injury. But that's the largest we've had in about 20 years, I think.

6:05Hmm. Hmm. Zero, four, double, three, nine, 11, 16, one, three hundred, 23, 55, 48. There's a few people, Zipper, get ready for this. A lot of people asking what the state of play was the first round of cricket, which starts this way again. Uh, we have an announcement. This is a bloke service announcement. Can all cricketers from all competitions please report to their grounds? I repeat, this is a bloke service announcement. Can all cricketers from all competitions please report to their grounds? There we go, ladies and, fortunately, you men have got to go to the ground. Even though it looks so lovely, though, play. Yeah, well, look, I had to commentate a golf tournament yesterday that was raining a lot through that, but they kept them there for as long as possible. Just in case, sometimes the radar, and what we know about the bomb is, it's a bit like the AFL fixture. Yeah. Really right, but they still get to all keep their jobs. I do.

7:06So, don't look at the, if you're the partner of a cricketer and you're looking at the radar going, there's no way. Well, don't, don't be too quick. No, no, no, no, no. Well, if you're on the hardwicked, I think you've just got to say, look, we've got to turn up. They get a broom onto that stuff. Yeah. They feel like you're a bit soggy. And that's might be a bit ordinary. And if you're John Donahoe playing on the carpet, then take some tails. Take some tails. Take some tails, Donahs, and help get some sore dust. Help get the D-grade cricket underway. Right, now let's have a look. There's a few people about that. Why don't we hear it was woken up in Estonon? The whole house was shaking in invaloc. This is from the little bit of a tremor we had last night. I wanted to, this is my rookie year, and my husband just told me golf was cancelled. Oh, you idiot. We don't have a report to golf club. Well, an estimate. Because golf plays still in the rain. They just get called if water pools too deep on the green. On the green. That is why you're wearing that snug top today.

8:06It's not snug. It's a large. Oh, no, it's a large. They're trying to excel. Oh, no, it's a large. Come on. It's like five nine. Well, I'm sorry. That's snug. Oh, because of the way I'm working out. It'd be for shoulders. Maybe one of these, but same snug around that belly button area. That's where it seems a little bit snug. All right. I will not be body shank. Yeah. Well, obviously, I'm just telling you, you're wearing some sort of a tight-feeted sort of a... It's like a football's jump in these days. It's like a football's jump. Cool. You've got Charlie Kernos jumping on. That's what you've got. Well, your ribs are starting to show. Well, you can't say the ribs are coarse. You can't say the ribs for the pals. You don't have a mirror. You're not own a mirror. Look at you casting Tajmi on the rigs. I'm an extra, extra arch. I'm like, hey, man, I like this. You be in the pool in the t-shirt these days, wouldn't you? I was actually up in the Goldie last week. No, no, I went in before. And I thought of that swimming in a rashi.

9:08I didn't. I didn't swim in a rashi, no. But so, bud, he's in a t-shirt for you these days. Okay. No, it's a nice Travis Matthew shirt with the Shelton and Golf Club logo on it. But that is a rookie era from that gentleman who said that golf is cooled off because you can sit. That's why it's why he's a bit bloated. Was there? Come out of the... This is Deadset Sammy Stumick. Well, if we're going to play mine, we've got to play your... You are in the book of sounds. The book of sounds, yes. This makes no sense, but it's the book of sounds. Was that pickers? Yes. What about Hutchison Oyster coming out of his gob? That's still this one. Oh, yeah. Now, off the back of the grand foot, so rookie era, if you said balls cooled off, you shouldn't have done that. No. The race is still on it. I believe they still are. Yes, the boys just were talking about it then. So it might be a heavy deck, hopefully. I get through the whole meeting tonight.

10:09It's a big meeting, the temple. Now, I did misspeak before that the earthquake, this four-point out was the biggest in that race. I felt like the other ones were at the end. That was the five-point nine out of those of the city. So you're right, I misspoke. That was COVID, I reckon, because I got woken up. Not woken up, because it was during the day. I think it was early, nothing was in the morning, but I thought my mushroom machine had gone off. It was gone nuts. Week one, always a wash out in most of October too. That's from Dom there. A lot of people who are jumping on the... What's the, what do they use, is it the Richter scale? What do they use to measure the four-point eight on the Richter scale for earthquakes? Yep. A lot of people are Richter scale enthusiasts. Oh, there's weather. Look, I've become a bit of a weather guy, but not to that level. No, you've... MacRothfield would be able to tell us, but you know, it was too busy giving me... It was too busy giving me advice when I was on the setters this week, the agenda setters, about my earpiece popping out, which it popped out both nights. Is that a very tenuous way of letting us know that you're doing a heap of TV, don't you?

11:09A lot of people say, the messages through. What have you been going, re-heating... I haven't had to re-heat any soup yet. That was the first week. That would have been the week to do it. I tell you what, though, it has been brought to my attention that you might be double invoicing. What do you mean? Well, there's roles to all of this. We all play a role, so I'm the, you're the star of this show. I host, get us to the breaks and come in and out, transition us to the next topic, little things like that. You just read the ads, my wife. Get to your eye, here we go. Just get to the point. So this is... Yeah, that's an ecologist. You're the experts. And of course, you're the experts, so they would come to you and you wait to be brought into it. You've decided that you want to maybe do both roles and maybe angling for a more prominent hosting role. Have a listen to this. Fans come to the football force, so I think Wolfie Thompson still stays. Yeah, I like it. I think it's great. Now, let's get onto Brisbane, because Brisbane, their list-builders, unbelievable. That's where we look at... That's where Tommy working to get at. That's not your job. Tommy and I working together on, he's the host. Exactly. And then, he's when I pick up. Double invoice. That's called picking up. And going to the next topic.

12:10That's to you, they craft sigwaying. You're not the sigway guy. That's not what it was. What was the... You know what happens to the double invoice or over time? I don't know. Double invoice. What invoice? It's back in my gig here. LAUGHTER What are you not doing it on the note, eh? Jolongan Ballerine, cricket associations off. Yep. Someone's given away the fact that it's off. There's probably a boat there just trying to sell it that it's still on. Someone messes it and tells us about it. Hey, just before we get to the break, can we... It's been a big grandfather to wash up and one of the biggest things that's coming out of it is the retirement of Chris Faye. Yes. They've been a better coaching story in the history of the game. No. The guy I plucked out of Tazzie, who played... The top-levelie, who was in Tazzie, never played at the highest level. Could come in Tazzie too, though. Yeah, absolutely. To Melbourne and then to Hawthorne and then to be given the job at Brisbane at a time with Aaron, their knees. And what he was able to do that footy club is just absolutely remarkable. Someone once said that if you come to a club, he should always leave it in a better place.

13:11Well, he's done that. He's done that to the club. That's right, Chris, on a wonderful coaching career and I hope he would go on another year and try and get that record. Equal that four, four premierships, but he just felt the time was right. So good on him and good to see Rocco. He did a bit of self-insertion there. A long post. Yeah, he did give a long post. So good on your Rocco. And added Rocco on the Vouch for a long time, isn't it? Is that a bit of bruising, is it? Just in some way, when somebody retires past, you know, it's... He's a bit of bruising, but there's a photo. There's a photo. But Rocco, of course, was one of the early winners of the third person self-congratulant of the J.B. Oh, he's in the annals. I'm in history. Listen, I haven't died my hair. But look, Helen has been dying here. But I will say this, Mars, the Mako girl, she was seeing dabbing something into the top of the back of my head. I don't know what it was. Have you got that little shake of assault shake? I think they added it. They added a few gradual... There's something in there, because I went in and I'm going to be... Mrs. Vigant, are you dying your hair? I said no, I'm not dying my hair.

14:12There's little magnets sticking in my hair. I can look a bit thicker than it was. That's once was. That's all seen. You know, I've been thinking about getting that on Instagram. That's coming in your feet. No, congratulations to Chris Faggan. And probably the best human being that I've met in Fuddy as well. So well done, Faggan. We're done with the lines again. Did you just often say it? They need trotistic. Just try to... I've never met... Oh, well done. He was very, very, very con to me when I was in Brisbane days. Well, I did it this one. Boy, it's my miss, I just learned that the public service announcement was fake. I felt like a dad telling us Santa wasn't real. Which wouldn't be true, of course. Oh, no, for Kitty's dad. No, we love Santa. Absolutely, absolutely. So, you know, that's it. It would have been correct information from Santa. Yeah, from Santa. Probably read it all out. Should I? Hmm. He might... Oh, yeah. Well, hang on. You like double invoicing. Let's see. So segue out of this. Gee, my leg. Gee, my leg. My misses wasn't listed at SCN about Ballerant Cricket off.

15:15We're reporting the club news for 1pm for beer, deep fried food and the races. Well, that sounds like he's just an extra bit of preseason to make. That just sounds like a day down the pub. All you have to do is pack your cricket bag down the floor. You're watching there. Just take your pads and your bat and just get down there. Get your little bat and ball off your go. By the way, not to make this a bit me, but please be watching Monday, 10 a.m. After having been paying attention on Channel 10 because my movie debut. Oh, it's pretty. Didn't you say that you've had a very minor minor on there? Well, I did ham it up when we first announced that I've got a major, you know, a Vintegrale part. You just have to turn it up a bit just to hear me. It is very funny though. A lot of life. Oh, so you're not really on it all. You can hear me. It's like Flavag when he was in Slumdog, Mini-Ninja. Oh, he's wrecking. He's an Oscar winner. He's an Oscar winner. He's an Oscar winner. He's an Oscar winner. Flavag and Crime and gets up to accept the Tony. Flavag and you should have been in the room at the Oscars. This is off the bench.

16:15We do it all for Mac as introducing the new Nashville Chicken Range, 100% Aussie Chicken with Bold, Southern Flavor and ThinkSafe to this month. Get the free five minute tie saved. You check at your local tie power. Oh, now we do have to what we do have to do, right? Oh, he is. Our draft today, we're just going odds and evings. So the best, and we're going to one to 20 obviously. So I've got like one through to 19. Sam's got two through to 20. We want the best players. We want help. There's all of us. I'm pleading for help, especially for couple of them. You're stuck on a couple. Well, yeah, two numbers. I've just got to try and get some help. But so go through the best place to ever wear those numbers. So for me, it's one three five seven nine eleven 13 15 17 19. I need help with 13. And I need to split. Yes, 10. And number seven. I've got a couple of options. Hawkins and he is for seven. And this stage I've got text walk for 13. I need some help. Do you need any help for numbers? I'm not. Look, my.

17:15I've got my team is amazing, but then my two toughest choices are number four and number ten. Number four number four is a tough choice. Dustin man, Ross, Glandinning. What was hard? Play and lock it. Yeah, you're going to give eight. Can I pick one? So and there's a lot of good number twos as well. So anyway, send it through zero four double three ninety eight. Well, thanks, Paul. There was six. Bob. Oh, once was last week at Will I go to the Grand Final of the George? Yeah. So what a sitting on the table behind me with his wife, his partner and his kids. I'm sitting there mindless, a minding mind business. So what has taken a photo of the back of my head? Let it go, mate. Rip it off. And I just, oh, you said it to me on Instagram. I said, this was the next day I said mate. That's an authorised. You can't do that. Now, one thing there's some votes for you there. Has the votes. Little name drop. Is the next ten made of mine. I'm a land of name, Robby. Sure. He's a friend of mine. He's a client of ours. Well, I need a name drop a client. But he's a folically challenged individual who gave that early.

18:18Yeah, he can see it. He's like I did. But take the advice. Because if there's one thing that, if there's one thing that people that don't have hair know about is the choices that others make. And what we can do is help you through this transition period to let go of the remnants of a once proud civilisation and call it a day. All right. We've got to get to a place. Look at this. Look at this. The list is helping out with number two minutes ago. He wanted to host. And now he's getting in the way of it. This is off the bench.
