43.923 - 72.36 Eddie

What's up punters and dribblers, welcome back to the Us World Podcast. Coming to you mere moments away from the Ivan Cleary press conference. So there may be a period where we just stop and come back. You won't even notice. You won't know through the power and the magic of editing. But it is great to be back inside your, not ocular cavity, is that eyes? Ears, ear holes.

0

73.657 - 106.887 Eddie

I don't know what the... Ocular is eye socket. Yeah, it's ocular. Thought so. Yeah, I don't know what your ear is. Your ear canal. Ear canal. The Suez Canal. Panama Canal. Panama Canal. Root Canal. Canelo Alvarez. Yeah, that's not getting topped. There's no way that one's getting topped.

0

109.493 - 129.026 Eddie

We come to you in a brave new world, and that's something you might think, wow, is that the world post-Ivan Cleary at Penrith? No, it's not. It's post-Heard of Him's first race and first loss, essentially. Well, he came fourth. Listen, we got a limo out to Bathurst yesterday. It was fucking terrific. It was a great day.

Chapter 2: What are the reactions to Ivan Cleary's press conference?

129.046 - 145.733 Eddie

I loved every second of it. Except for the seconds of the race. Except for the seconds of the race. Listen, I didn't love every second of it. That's such a fear. That's a lie. That's such a lie. We went out there. We were loving it. We were dressed well with Cody, with Kyle. Tobler was sick, slash hungover, couldn't come. Tobler pulled out last minute because he was hungover.

0

145.713 - 174.91 Eddie

he had a big night on the wet moors the night before Monday night very punchy the kid needs help but I'm not going to dare his dirty laundry here but we're having a great time we're doing interviews in the back of the limo dude that was the funnest bit was we got onto the SEN tab like TV channel they're like can you do a video call we're like we're in the back of a limousine they're like that's fantastic

0

175.666 - 200.818 Eddie

And you say all the right things, you know, you pump your boy up. You dare to dream. You dare of greatness. You dare of... Nice coffee? No. But yes. Not an ad. Not an ad. Whatever. Not an ad. You dare to dream of the possibilities of coming back in the limo being 0-1. Yeah. No losses. No, 1-0. 1-0, sorry. 1-0. We are 0-1. We are 0-1.

0

201.358 - 226.22 Eddie

Then you see a truck stop and you go, God damn, we pull in for cigarettes and cheeseburgers and schnitzel rolls. Yes, you do. Of course you do. Do you get to the track fashionably late? Of course you do. There was maybe, what, 17 people at the track? Max. Max. It was a cold day. Shout out to the dribblers who came out. There was maybe five. One, two, three, four.

0

226.24 - 228.484 Tom

Chris Hemsworth definitely came, and that may have been his dad.

228.564 - 231.328 Eddie

Chris and maybe his dad. There was another dribbler whose name I didn't get.

231.348 - 232.47 Tom

A couple of his names I forget.

232.49 - 252.117 Eddie

And then there was two gentlemen in the stands who were seriously well-dressed when we did the meet and greet, and they were there, but they weren't as well-dressed, which wasn't a good omen, really, if you want to want to pack omens. A boy seemed okay, potentially a little edgy. He paraded relatively well. He was the pig of the yard.

252.137 - 252.517 Tom

He was.

Chapter 3: How do the hosts reflect on Ivan Cleary's coaching legacy?

278.044 - 303.893 Eddie

Maccabi Deva, fourth. Prince of Penzance, ninth. Very elegant, seventh. Just, you know, Winx lost races. You know what I mean? Like the fact that Winx and Lap lost races, it's like calm down. Well, not just races, their first race. Yeah. And I think that's what's worth keeping in mind here and providing context to the situation is that, yeah, it wasn't our day.

0

304.574 - 326.329 Eddie

And there's reasons for that that we'll get into. But what you need to understand off the rip, off the jump, is that the greatest horses of all time lost their first race. That's just a fact. That's just a fact of life. Now, did he settle well? No, he didn't. How did he travel around the hairpin turn like pure shit? Did he get thrown out into the middle of the track? Yes, he did.

0

326.369 - 338.026 Eddie

But he finished well. But he finished well. He wants more distance. The fact he went so wide and basically won is enough to be excited about. Now, Ivan coming to sit down with Peter Wallace, don't know why he's there, maybe taking over. We're going to go listen now.

0

338.406 - 367.403 Ivan Cleary

Yeah, I'm just – Basically going to announce that I'm going to be stepping down from NRL coaching at the end of season 2027. Wow. It's a decision that obviously I haven't taken lightly, but I've thought about for quite a long time. This is not a time for thank yous or reflections. I still have 18 months in the saddle, so to speak, and I honestly woke up this morning

0

368.581 - 372.12 Ivan Cleary

Thinking about the Dragons and how we're going to try and beat them this week.

372.542 - 373.145 Eddie

Yeah, it'll be tough.

373.165 - 382.381 Ivan Cleary

We've actually picked a really strong team. I know we're going to have our hands full this week. Yeah, sure you will. Shut up. Shut up, Ivan. Come on.

382.421 - 387.768 Eddie

You can pick your fucking D-side, man. Fuck it up. Wake up thinking about the Dragons.

387.828 - 392.273 Ivan Cleary

No one woke up thinking about the Dragons, respectfully. Our brilliant chairman, Peter.

Chapter 4: What are the potential impacts of Cleary's departure on the team?

1986.073 - 2012.412 Eddie

Might and power. Might and power won the cup. Yeah, good horse. Good bit of horse. Oi, good bit of horse. Oh, I'm going to piss. Okay. I am. Tobler, you're not laughing at all. Tobler. So like during that whole segment, like that whole thing, like Cody was laughing.

0

2012.472 - 2013.333 Tom

There was something I giggled at.

0

2013.794 - 2020.082 Eddie

Cody laughed. I'm a couple of laughs away from a coughing fit, so I'm trying to hold it in. Okay, so because Cody was laughing.

0

2020.462 - 2021.103 Cody

Yeah, I giggled.

0

2021.283 - 2023.847 Eddie

And I just wanted to make sure it was still funny or is it not?

2023.867 - 2026.771 Cody

You're still funny. You're still funny. Do you think we're funny? No.

2027.231 - 2038.166 Eddie

He's hung over again. But do you think we're funny or not? I do. I always have. I think we need a bit more from you behind the spine. A laugh track? We need a bit more, dude. Well, Cody's going to have to laugh twice as hard.

2038.186 - 2039.628 Tom

No, Cody's laughing good enough, man.

2039.688 - 2041.171 Eddie

No, Cody's absolutely fine.

Chapter 5: What happened during the game that left a player on the bench?

2510.703 - 2515.19 Eddie

He was on the bench. Didn't play a minute. Didn't play a minute. Isn't that fucked up? Who was that against?

0

2515.21 - 2522.959 Unknown

Penrith. Penrith. What was the score in that game? I can't recall. 22-20 from memory. Was it that close?

0

2522.979 - 2541.381 Eddie

Well, I'm wondering why it didn't get on. 26-20 to the storm. It was obviously not at any point processional. No, I guess it was close, so I'm just flicking through some. Like, yeah, fucking that close though. That's monster. That's crazy stuff. That's crazy stuff.

0

2541.641 - 2564.747 Eddie

Do you reckon there's anything, any correlation between the fact that Manley basically beat Penrith the other day and then two weeks later Ivan quits? Like he sees what Foran's doing. I think if you're Ivan and you've been there and you've done it and he's obviously a learned man, Tom. Learned.

0

2565.088 - 2591.071 Eddie

He knows a lot about history and he understands that, you know, if you live long enough, you'll see yourself become the villain. Yeah. Right? Like he's aware of that. And then when you see such purity... Right? Such generational lifetime purity coming through, starting to rise up through the system. You look at that and you go, I don't want a piece of that. I'm going to take my pram.

2591.091 - 2613.735 Eddie

I'm going to ride off into the sunset. Get onto that piano. Shit into a bag with my wife. You know what I mean? Make sweet love. That's me now. I don't want anything to do with that guy Kieran Thorne because that guy Kieran Thorne is the fucking truth. It's a young man's game, coach. It's a young man's game. Even though old men seem to coach. It's becoming a young man's game.

2614.711 - 2635.794 Eddie

When rookie coach slash assist slash interim coach slash soon-to-be head coach, but at the time interim coach, Kieran Foreman wins the comp with Manley, who would come in dead last, and gurus like gurus say Manley's the worst team of all time. What do you do with that? You just go, it's a young man's game, and I'm not up for it, and I'm going to fuck it off.

2635.814 - 2642.734 Eddie

But it seems to be becoming a bit young man-y. Yeah. Willie Peters isn't very old. Peter Wallace. Peter Wallace isn't old.

2642.855 - 2644.598 Tom

Cameron Foran's not old. Cam Serraldo.

Chapter 6: What are the implications of Ivan Cleary's resignation?

2647.203 - 2666.637 Eddie

Peyton looks old, but that's a body hair issue. Well, it is a body hair issue. That's a body hair thing. Once upon a time, you had to be 95 to coach. Andrew Webster, pretty young. Yep. Feels like it. You know, if Bellamy... Trent Robinson would have been young when he came onto the scene. He was young when he came onto the scene.

0

2666.698 - 2670.947 Eddie

If Bellamy were to sort of pack it up relatively soon, like that would be another old dog gone.

0

2671.047 - 2673.152 Tom

Jason Riles, is he young?

0

2673.433 - 2697.482 Eddie

He'd be young. He's got a big dick, I know that. That's about all. Dean Young's young. Dean Young is young, but looks old. But he's young. But he's young. He'd be 40-something, wouldn't he? 42. 42? All those coaches listed are between 41 and like 49. So they're all below 50. Yeah. So we are right, as usual, about it being a young man's game. Yeah. Especially with the demands on the coaches. Yeah.

0

2705.269 - 2728.076 Eddie

Yeah. Nothing out of Blobler. No, Blobler's fucking just absolutely dead, mate. Absolutely dead. Are you alright back there, Tobler? Mate, I'm good. Just a tougher crowd today than usual. Are you still feeling sick? A little bit. Are you feeling better than yesterday? A bit better than yesterday, yeah. Woke up this morning and felt fucked, though. But it's always worse in the morning.

2728.096 - 2745.363 Eddie

That doesn't sound like you're feeling better then, does it? That happens during the day. That's probably just a, that might be a false dawn, mate. False, yeah, could be. Yeah, I mean, false dawn on that, mate. Yeah. Fucking waking up in the middle of the night in a coughing fit is just so shit. We were so glad. Did you prop yourself up? No, I didn't.

Chapter 7: How does the discussion shift to the dynamics of young coaches in rugby?

2745.864 - 2747.828 Eddie

You've got to prop yourself up. You've got to sit up a bit, mate.

0

2747.848 - 2749.411 Tom

You've got to prop. You've got to be like that.

0

2749.571 - 2768.47 Eddie

It's like a drainage issue. I'll prop myself up tonight. Are you lying flat during the fit? Oh, man. Well, not flat. Sometimes I'm not even sure. Sometimes I think to myself, you literally did come down in the last shower. Yeah. Like, you're a new soul, man. Well, the last shower was very fresh as well. You're a new soul. I reckon this is the first time you've ever been on Earth. Must be.

0

2768.61 - 2769.291 Eddie

Not very wise.

0

2769.372 - 2773.92 Tom

Yeah, yeah. This is a reincarnation. There's no old soul about you at all. No, no, no. He's brand new. You're a freshie.

2773.94 - 2775.964 Eddie

You never heard that trick. The proper.

2776.625 - 2778.028 Tom

Exactly. It's just not even a trick.

2778.128 - 2802.642 Eddie

It's more just like, how do you, what do you do when you... Need to blow your nose, you get a tissue. It wouldn't surprise me, the youth of this man's soul. He's just blowing his nose into his hand. And that's why you're so happy-go-lucky and you're so nice and sweet. You haven't been beaten down by life. You are probably the youngest soul I know. Cody's probably gone through like 400 souls.

2803.042 - 2814.077 Eddie

Like, he's an old soul. Yeah, Cody doesn't want to come back anymore. Cody's over coming back. He's like, how many more times do I need to do this shit, dude? I'm fucking over it. Fuck's sake.

Chapter 8: What insights are shared about personal experiences with sickness and recovery?

3068.943 - 3095.73 Eddie

You know what I mean? You don't just get to come in and fucking sit here like a sour little dick. Yeah. You know what I mean? Like a shriveled up little banjo, dude. We've got some sick things we can listen to, boys, from Sam Rigney. Are you guys keen? I need you to be like a radio guy. We're going to listen to something from Sam Rigney. A little foreskin shriveled up in the sun.

0

3098.373 - 3119.661 Eddie

Well, how about do you want to listen to something from Sam Rigney? No. Nah. Right, move on. What's next? Tom Dearden, out of origin. He is out of origin. We win. No, he is. We win. Ben Iken, out of origin as well. We win. We win. Ponger at six.

0

3120.162 - 3120.843 Kyle

It's been thrown around.

0

3121.564 - 3122.365 Eddie

You see Ponger at six?

0

3122.385 - 3123.627 Cody

Yeah, I've heard that a couple of times.

3123.647 - 3124.148 Eddie

With Munster.

3124.428 - 3125.55 Cody

I've heard that a couple of times.

3125.57 - 3133.282 Eddie

Makes sense. Well, listen, if you want us to win. I've heard Jake Clifford being thrown around. Mate, I don't want someone like him picked.

3133.302 - 3133.983 Tom

Because he'll probably rip.
