What are the initial thoughts on the upcoming Origin III decider?

Cooper Johns 0:00
You're not well, are you? I think I've got the COVID. That's what you said to me today. I laughed, and I love you, and I'm your biggest fan. You know that, right?

How does Ethan Strange's injury impact the New South Wales team?

Cooper Johns 0:10
Yeah. But six years on from COVID-19, how have you come to the conclusion, I have COVID, as opposed to just a common flu?
Matty Johns 0:20
Look, I'm taking cues off your mum, and your mum is. I don't know if you guys are really aware of this. Your mum has a hypochondriac.

What changes are expected in the New South Wales lineup?

Matty Johns 0:27
Oh, you reckon? I've never heard a person every single day, oh, I'm coming down with something, I'm sick. But I'm not usually sick, but she said, oh, do you know there's another COVID outbreak, it's rare.

Why is Jack Bostock a significant addition to the team?

Matty Johns 0:38
And then as I started coughing, she goes, you've definitely got COVID.
Cooper Johns 0:41
Because I'm running with it. Can I ask you, as well, also love the Tony Stark glasses that you have on today. You know why?

What strategies are being discussed for New South Wales against Queensland?

Cooper Johns 0:46
You know why?
Matty Johns 0:48
Over the last two days, I've lost two pairs of glasses. Have you? Yeah. These are my final ones. Just misplaced? Yeah, just misplaced. I had them on my shirt. One just fell off last night, and I don't know where the other one's at, so I'm on to my last pair of glasses. He was at the Ivy last night, Cooper. Yeah, we had a- You were at the Ivy last night? How old- Was it busy?

How does the Queensland team plan to exploit New South Wales' weaknesses?

Matty Johns 1:07
No, it was... Yeah, it was a... Party. A party. A party from our builders. It was our builders had a party and they invited us. Just lubing them up. Yeah, that's right. Just carving a little bit off the... Yeah.
Cooper Johns 1:19
Just on hypochondriacs quickly. Where does Trish sit in regards to your brother, Andrew Johns? Because you always talk about Joey as the best, but Trish is bad too.

What are the key player matchups to watch in this game?

Cooper Johns 1:29
If you had a sort of a gold and silver medal, who gets that?
Matty Johns 1:33
They are so similar in so many ways. Yeah. And look, I'm going to give an insight here to the listeners. Joey and Trish used to just hate each other. No. You know that? Yeah, I heard they used to fight. Mate, all the time. Because they're the same person. Yeah. Excuse me. They are so similar. It's COVID. And so we'd be like, I remember once for a chief's wedding, and Joey was carrying on and did something. Trish goes, just settle down, you little loser. She called him a loser. Joey just exploded. And then another time, I was away. I was in Melbourne.

What predictions do the hosts have for the Origin III outcome?

Matty Johns 2:09
And Joey was on the drink and they come across each other and they're out. Anyway, she was like... She goes, Andrew, I don't think you should have any more to drink. He said, don't fucking tell me what to do. And she goes, well, see what? Your brother's not going to like that. And he goes, blood's thicker than water. Is that what he said? Yeah, blood's thicker than water. Yeah, they really went at each other.
Cooper Johns 2:34
I can see that happening. I can see that happening quite a bit.
Matty Johns 2:36
And so, yeah, they're both helping contracts. It's probably a dead heat. I've told you before about the story where I was in the sheds and they'd feared I'd broken my neck in a game. And I'm laying down. I'm laying down literally on the table. Joey wasn't playing, but he was there watching. And they're going, and the doctor's in there. And it turned out it was really bad nerve damage. I just had no idea. They had the neck brace on. And the doctor goes, just give me a hand. Give me a hand here. Do you, Matty, I just want to get an idea on this. Can you feel any tingling in your right arm? And as I was about to answer, Joey goes, I can. I'll get tingling in mine. That's what he said. I swear to God.
Cooper Johns 3:12
Yeah. I love your saying, it's so true. He's the bride at every wedding and the corpse at every funeral. He is. Literally. As well, Matthew, I don't know if you saw it, you're off social media, hey?
Matty Johns 3:23
I'm loving, I'm really, really, I'm digging the blues tracksuit.
Cooper Johns 3:26
That's what I was just about to bring up, mate. Because yesterday coming out, we've alluded to the fact I did a motivational speech. I'm known for my speeches.
Matty Johns 3:33
We showed it on the show.
Cooper Johns 3:34
Did you show it on the show? Yep. Well, I did a motivational speech for the Blues this week. Let's hope things go well. A lot of our listeners get in the comments of the video saying, mate, like we had a lot of Queenslanders saying they're motivated, but they're saying if New South Wales can't get up for this, well, then they can't get up for any.
