What is the Eminem NRL Grand Final pre‑act and how does it set the tone for the episode?
Can you imagine that? Cooper Jones trying to figure out a way to not be a f asshole.
Solve that riddle. Right here on the Cooper and Maddie Johns podcast. Right here.
How will Ashley Klein’s refereeing decisions impact the Roosters vs Dolphins clash?
What now?
Alright, that's classic stuff.
Two games. Four teams.
What are the key storylines and player match‑ups in the Roosters vs Dolphins game?
Four teams left. Eighty minutes away from premiership potential glory. One moment, one opportunity to seize everything that you've ever wanted. Would you capture it or would you let it slip?
Well, this is the most Do you know what I no answer for that. Do you know what
song that
is?
Which bench players could be game‑changers in the Roosters‑Dolphins showdown?
Uh M uh Lose Yourself. Yeah, M and M. Surprised you got that.
What tactical ‘back matchups’ should listeners watch for in both games?
Apparently he's gonna he's filmed it for tones tonight. But Velandi's Pete said, No, no, but you've got to play without me.
Yeah, what about that? Because let's talk about that for a second. And uh like
Who are the potential crunch‑time heroes for the Panthers vs Knights match?
If I could marry him
mate, ever since I was a kid, mate, sitting in my dad's lap at the pub having Smith's crisps. Beautiful. Your dad's lap at the pub? Yeah, so we used to go and dad'd dad'd buy me back in the day when I was a little fella, he'd sit me on me on his knee and he'd be having a beer, I'd be having a cherry cheer and he'd give me some Smith chips.
And but okay, so much to unpack, I'm not gonna the um tones an eye because they were speculating who's gonna perform this and that and they reckon the breakdown was because P VL said, I'd happy for you to perform but you just gotta play Dance Monkey, her biggest song. She said no, she didn't wanna perform Dance Monkey.
It's it's crazy. Just it it's crazy. It'd be like um
I'm surprised P I didn't take Peter Volandis to be a tones and eye kind of guy anyway.
I I found it a strange selection to start with, but but with tones and eye you're just going, it's the song that made you famous.
What are the critical key match‑ups that could decide the Panthers‑Knights game?
And the song that um I launched you, um, made you all this money, you know, made you who like well, didn't say who made you who you are, it's our own talent. But you know, if you if you're gonna play at a at a grand final at a big event like that And you're not really singing to your hardcore fans, you're gonna sing a big hit.
Yeah. A
bit like you know, getting booking Jimmy Barnes and he says, Listen, one thing now, I'm not gonna I'm not gonna sing working class man or no second prize. Right now.
How likely are the Knights to win and what are fans saying about their chances?
As long as he's sung flashy.
I think he did a few years back. I don't think he sang either of us. Yeah, that's fair cool. Yeah. He's got so many bangers. Maybe she didn't want to dance like a monkey. It's a
It's a good point that you say that. Like I 'cause at the start I was kinda like, Well, if you're an artist, I understand that you probably want to do your own stuff but the point you make is she's probably she's not playing to her own audience. Like this she's coming into an environment where she's, you know, warming up a crowd for the NRL grand final. Yeah. So, you know, from Peter's point of view, majority of the people there would probably only know or maybe one or two songs of hers. Like they're not gonna know some of her Back album stuff. Yeah. So naturally he would wanted to do that. And I I would have thought like They'd be getting paid pretty good money. I would have thought that
Very good money.
You don't know. If someone told me, you know, you have to sing this song, even if I didn't like it, I'd do it.
Well if you're booked if you're booked to do a massive concert, like if you're booked to do like if you're an artist and you're booked to do like Super Bowl, if you're like, you know, if you're Bruce Springsteen or something like that, well, you know or you two, like when you two did um like they did the Super Bowl, the New Orleans one. And, you know, they sung they they they sing their biggest hits at that time at that point. I mean it's a bad example of using these guys 'cause they got so many hits. But if you're but if you're an artist that has had w one mega hit then and your book to you know play this, you know, a a grand final or a state of origin or something like that.
It
One of the songs has got to be the Imagine,
imagine Darrell Braithwaite not singing horses.
How's that? All the Sherbet stuff?
