Matty Johns 0:00
Welcome to the podcast today, and you're about to listen to episode one.
Cooper Johns 0:03
After you've finished, head straight over to episode two. Okay, enjoy. Get that. Make yourself comfy. Sit back. Put the mic into your neck.
Harry Grant 0:12
I'm comfortable.
Cooper Johns 0:12
Are you happy now? Yeah.
Harry Grant 0:14
Okay. You are...
Cooper Johns 0:17
That's all right. We'll leave that in. That's all right. We can leave that in for everyone. Mate, a bloke that we talk about this person a lot on the podcast, Jack, would you say? Well, we? I would say he's probably the most talked about player in the National Rugby League, not for his ability, but for his being a part of this family. He's almost like a unicorn to our listeners. They've never heard a word that you've said, but we've made it happen today. Harry Grant, welcome to the studio, mate.

Where did the hosts and Harry Grant first meet and how did their early introductions go?

Harry Grant 0:46
Thanks, mate. It's good to be on. Yeah, it's good to see Matty made an appearance for the big event.
Cooper Johns 0:52
Yeah, well, look, you're a big guest for us. We've wanted to get you on for a long time, but obviously you live in Melbourne, so it's hard to liaise with your busy schedule and the amount that you cost as well, and you'll be invoicing us.
Harry Grant 1:03
Best price for you, boys.
Cooper Johns 1:05
Dad's in Lismore. What's he doing? Well, the renos, as we just saw, it's expensive, so I think he needs to go and make some spare cash. I think he's doing speaking gigs and whatnot.
Harry Grant 1:13
We better check in. He must be struggling.
Matty Johns 1:16
Yeah, I don't think Foxport's paying him enough.
Harry Grant 1:19
Yeah, we might have to renegotiate that.
Matty Johns 1:20
Mate, honestly, Trish just slots him out like nothing. She actually does.
Harry Grant 1:24
Trish has gone for a long lunch.
Cooper Johns 1:25
Well, this is the thing, right? Trish, she'll book all these speaking gigs for him and be like, Matt, you've got this then. I don't even think she checks with him half the time, especially when there's costs going about, whether it be renovations or car costs and stuff. And then she goes, when he's not here, she'll go and just have a massive long lunch with all of her friends.
Harry Grant 1:43
So she books it for herself, really? Well, I suppose- So she's probably said to her friends, let's have a long lunch. Because Matt's away. I'll book Matt into Lismore for a speaking gig.
Cooper Johns 1:54
And you know what she does? Because you know how dad doesn't have like laptop, email, any of that shit. So he doesn't even have access to his bank accounts. Yeah. So she wouldn't know.
Matty Johns 2:04
Seriously, it's not a joke.
Cooper Johns 2:05
He actually doesn't. So he wouldn't know how much money is in the bank. So he doesn't know. Trish could be scamming the shit out of him.
Matty Johns 2:11
He wouldn't know what he's been able to accumulate over the years. He would have no clue. That's a good life, isn't it?
Cooper Johns 2:17
It's nice. It's naive. Because as far as he's concerned, he would have no idea how much goes in.
Matty Johns 2:23
It works in two ways. Because in one way, he hasn't got that over his head. But in another way, because he's awfully cheap, I see him do some things at dinner sometimes where people are splitting the bill or whatever it is. And you just see him go quiet.
Harry Grant 2:35
He actually doesn't know how much money he's got on the card.
Cooper Johns 2:38
He goes, oh. No, he does do that a lot. Like if he's at dinner and he's had a few drinks and he knows the bill's expensive, he'll almost like put his head down or go to the toilet as he knows the bill's going to be coming out so he doesn't have to chip in.
Harry Grant 2:50
Yeah.
Cooper Johns 2:50
He's tired. Conservative. Talking about tight. Christian Welch. No, no, no. You're one of the biggest tight asses, I would say, as well. That's rich. Well, I would say.
Harry Grant 3:02
No, I think. Go. You know, for me personally, you know. Um, you know, blue collar coming from a working class family, um, you know, you, you, you understand you got to work for everything in life where yourself personally, like over the years, it's more of that silver spoon, you know, things, yeah. Things just come easy in life. They come free. You've had everything given to you.
Cooper Johns 3:27
So, um, that's sort of a harsh sort of, I would say that's a harsh comment given that, um, My dad doesn't know how much he makes, so therefore I never knew how much he made. And yes, we grew up close to the beach. I'd like to be closer. But you up there in Yippoon, where is Yippoon?
