Breakfast with Gary and Tim Well it's alright Riding around in the breeze Well it's alright If you live the life you please
Good morning, everyone. Welcome. It is Thursday, the 18th day of June. McCafe menu, try McCafe's new drinks range. Lenny Hayes, one of the all-timers, joins us. The Kilda general manager of footy, George Samios, the most authority voice on wine in the world. Corey Mabilio, the champion data expert that's taken the footy world and media world by storm.
Questions without notice, then your calls are very welcome this morning as England have just kicked off in their World Cup opener against Croatia. We'll be all over that. As I say, good morning to Tim the Wisp Watson. Good morning, Gary. Good morning, everybody. I apologise in advance too. I've got a slight sexy husk about my voice this morning. No, no, yours is nowhere near the husk.
Well, I'm not saying it's sexy like yours, but I've got a husky voice. I've got a little bit of a... What's going on? I think I've caught something from you now.
Chapter 2: Who are the guests joining Garry and Tim?
Yes, I've been sneezing, sneezing and sneezing. It's been a very rugged sports watching period, of course, because there's sport going on everywhere. State of Origin in front of 91,000 plus last night, the MCG, the Queenslanders got up over the New South Wales team. So they're one all now in that series. Are we going to be crossing regularly to our Cockney correspondent? No one rang in.
No, you are it. So can you just sit the suit there, Croatia, England?
We'll do it standard. No, I can't do that. But we'll be across it all. How good did it look? The pre-game for England and Croatia, which has been played in Texas, to a full house, the pre-game ceremony with the flag, like a, Beautiful. Sort of flags for both teams covered half of the pitch and then the teams walked out through the middle. It was magnificent. We had no sound on it.
The pitches were just absolutely magnificent. Are you prepared to make a prediction before this game really gets underway? England or Croatia? Who's your money on? England, only because England. Harry Kane is the captain, Tim. And the only one you know, too, and me, too. But I think a draw. I'm going for a two-all draw. I've just got a draw look about it.
As we went off air yesterday when I had that joke about it. Old Harland. And I said, I think I found one here. It was Jeff. As we went off air, Jeff said, this disgusts me. It's supposed to be a sports station. I was just having a bit of a joke. Old Jeffy. Can I go deep with you this morning? Because I listened to J-Lo on Smartless yesterday. And they got very, very, very deep. Jennifer Lopez.
Yeah, she was on with the guys on Smartless. And they started to go very, very deep. And I just started to think, you know, we do a ramble every day. And I just think I scratched the surface with Garrity. I think there's more to Garrity than what I let...
him reveal so i just want to know are you happy are you happy do it in a couple of weeks when i'm back you're not happy i'm always happy are you happy i'm always happy well what's making you happy then i'll tell you what's made me happy today i'm reading through the papers this morning this you can't make this up wisp what can't you make up
There's a new, there's this program that they want to run for schools to find out, you know, whether the schools have the future of prep to year nine and year 10 and they want feedback and all that. So he put out, four politicians jumped on board to hold these signs up to say, P9 school model, share your experience, right? Right.

Chapter 3: What are the highlights of the recent sports events?
So they're standing there going, yeah, we're on board. We're going to drive experience. Four of them. Yeah. And experience is spelt wrong.
Yeah.
All four of them are sitting there, big cheesy grin saying, look at us promoting education. We hold education dear and true and we're going to drive this hard. And four of them are holding the same thing. And it's got share your experience, E-X-P-E-R-E-I-N-C-E. How many eyes do you reckon saw that before it was actually printed and released? That's as good as I've ever seen.
That is unbelievable. That's out of a series of utopia. What are you doing, you four? Oh, we're going to go and promote education, how important it is that we get it right. Spelling's not that important. Hold these four cups to us. Signs up and away they go. So that's made me smile this morning. Oh, there you go. Well, you are happy. I am. Okay. I'm just scratching the surface.
I think I might do this once a week. Well, ask me if I'm happy. Well, no, no, no. That won't wash too often, I'll tell you right now. No. You've had one go at it and that's it. I want to go a little bit deeper because J-Lo got really, really deep. About what? About everything.
About what? I had no idea.
Well, she's Jenny from the Blocks. Right? So I had no idea how dirt poor her family was and how she made her way through the whole entertainment world and business. And then she had a very, very bad breakup with Ben Affleck a couple of years ago. So it's taken a couple of years to get over that. But you know what she's done, Gary? Which is something that a lot of people out there are doing. What?
She's claimed her space in the world. Good on her. Good on her. It'd be difficult. When are you going to claim your space?
I'm happy with my space.

Chapter 4: What humorous incident involving politicians is shared?
Oh, no. It's early days. It is early days. That's not a great tactic, though, to do that, what he did then. I think he forewarned, in the way that he positioned his body, which is what you should have been talking about and giving people more of a word picture about what happened, but the way that he positioned his body. Who?
He told the goalkeeper exactly which position and which direction he was going in. They're doing a review here. Oh. Have they broken, have they? I don't know what the review, I've got no idea what the review's about. It's about the break on the line. Is that right? Before the shot was taken. Looks like the Croatians may have broken the line. Looks like Harry Kane's going to have another shot.
Oh, no. This is drama. Remarkable scenes here. Pink Wiggle's got a bemused look on his face. He can't do it. He could not possibly save it twice, could he? Harry Kane, look at him. He's going to reprieve here. He thought he was going to be front and back page of the Sun newspaper over there. You can see the beads of sweat just...
This is all because one of the Croatians crossed the line before he kicked it. Unbelievable scenes here at Texas. Here we go. He's going to have another crack. Nine minutes into the first quarter. I mean half. That's right, Mark. I do mean half. You know what I'm talking about. Here he goes. He's having another lash out of the air, Harry. He's been given a reprieve.
The pink wiggle stands tall on the goals. He's a tall fellow, the old... And he comes in, no stutter step, and pushes it in easy to the right-hand side of the old onion bag. Do you feel a connection to the English? I always... When they're competing, I always feel like... We're part, in part, of England so that- Wash your rotten teethy mouth out. We're not part of England. We are.
Oh, turn it up, Tim. That's the worst thing you've ever said on this radio show. Get out. I feel like I've got a family type connection to England. Well, you might have. But to sit here in a World Cup tournament and suggest... Oh, don't tell me you're going for Croatia. Who do you feel... I'm not going for anyone. I couldn't care less who wins this one. You feel no connection to England.
Not a skerrick. In fact, when we play cricket against them, I feel a hatred for them. You feel part of them. I do. I feel like they're my team. The Socceroos are my number one team and England are my number two team. And good on you, Harry. You got a second crack at it and you put it away, but he put it in exactly the same spot. He didn't do the stutter.
Well, he didn't do the stutter, but why didn't the goalie go in the same direction? I don't know. He thought he was going to be fooled. He second-guessed himself. If you're catching up, last night, Queensland beat New South Wales. They absolutely donkey-licked them. 44-24. 91,671 at the MCG. The US Open starts tonight. Shinnecock Hills in New York. The 126th US Open.
We've got Minwoo Lee, Jason Day, Adam Scott. Lucas Herbert and Cameron Smith all involved. So there's your sport. We've got footy tonight over in Perth. Freo taking on the Cats without Bailey Smith. That's going to be a belter. There's stuff going on everywhere, Whisker. Everywhere. Everywhere.

Chapter 5: What are the highlights of the soccer match between England and Croatia?
I'm all in. The old pink wiggle goalkeeper for Croatia, since that ad break was on, I reckon he saved nine goals. Conservatively. You reckon? Yeah, conservatively. Saved one on his back at one stage. England are just peppering the goals. I thought they'd parked the bus after they went up 1-0, and they didn't, and now they've gone up to- Decided I'm not listening to you.
Now they've gone up 3-2 and they're still attacking like it's the last minute of the game and they're down a goal. It's been extraordinary. Is it Jude Bellingham? Jude Bellingham. He scored the third goal. Harry Kane scored the first two.
Chapter 6: What opinions are shared about the crowd at the soccer game?
And in the middle of that, as you want to do occasionally, you said to me, Wisp... I could have been a great goalie. You said, Wisp, I could have been a great goalie. And I said, why? You said, because I would have done something that no goalie's ever done before. And I said, what's that?
You said, I would have taken leave of the goal and I would have gone up the other end for a couple of spots and I would have put a couple in the back of the old onion bag off my noggin. I like the idea of being a goalie. And I said, you wouldn't have been dressed up like the English goalie because he's in all yellow and nobody looks good in yellow. I said, Wisp, I would have had a black mask.
I would have painted my face black and I would have had a black outfit. I think you've got to look more fearsome if you're a goalie than having a yellow outfit on. I think you've got to really project. As the pink, having said that, the pink goalie for Croatia, he's been unbelievable. Incredible. 3-2 upping, an unbelievable game of soccer. A cracking game in the 62nd minute.
Still plenty to be played out. Everything that the Wisp has said so far about this game, the opposite's happening. Correct. Raph is in Meadow Heights. Go, Raph. Morning, Gary. Morning, Tim. How are you? We're good, thank you. Watched the game last night and, you know, looking at the crowd, 92,000, absolutely amazing.
Melbournians, best supporters in the world.
But you would have thought that one of the four commentators after the game, one of the four players, would have acknowledged the crowd and said, what a fantastic crowd. Melbournians come out.
It's like these New South Welshmen burn when Victorians outdo them.
What percentage, Raf, do you think were Victorians and what percentage do you think were New South Wales or Queensland tourists?

Chapter 7: How do the hosts discuss wine recommendations?
It doesn't matter. No, no, for no other reason than I'm interested. Do you think it would have been 70% Queensland, New South Wales? What do you think?
I reckon it was maybe 60-40, but it doesn't matter. Acknowledge what we do best and we support. They just don't do it and I reckon they were just burning on the inside.
Yeah. No, fair enough.
Chapter 8: What insights are shared about the AFL teams and their performances?
They got up New South Wales lead early and then Queensland just rattled over the back of them. Laurie Daly, who's under enormous pressure anyway, given he hasn't had enormous success as a coach. As a player, he was as good as any. But just listening to Crash Craddock, he said that they're going to be under enormous pressure now.
Somebody out there wants to know whether Brendan McCollum is actually coaching the English team. He reckons they're playing basketball, soccer. I think that's a great observation because they are just nurries to the wind they are at the moment. They're just having a crack at everything. There's our weekly mention. Graeme's in Sydney. Good morning, Graeme. Yeah, hello. Hello, Graeme.
Yeah, hi, guys.
Yeah, I'll just take exception to what Gary was saying about St Kilda's fixtures because eight of the 14 rounds so far played have been played in Melbourne, two of which at the MCG.
They've played two in Adelaide, one in Fremantle and one in Canberra. The difference... Sorry, at Engie. The difference is they're going to play the next eight games or nine games in Melbourne or Victoria.
So that means a total of 17 games. I don't know how that makes it uncomfortable. What are you taking exception? I just told you what happened. What are you taking exception about?
You said that they had a tough draw. I did.
No, I did. Yeah, Graham, I did. Tim did.
Oh, I beg your pardon, Tim.
