Chapter 1: What is discussed at the start of this section?
Breakfast with Gary and Tim.
Well, it's alright Riding around in the breeze Well, it's alright Good morning, everyone.
Great to have you company on this Thursday, the 14th day of May. We've got a nice little offering for you today for the next three hours. Sam Edmund is here. He reintroduced himself to us. George Samios with the wonderful World of Wine. Corey Mabilio, who came in last week from Champion Data. Actually, he was on the phone and absolutely just ripped it to shreds.
He's going to come in because he wants to meet the Wisp. So we'll go through some of the numbers ahead of round 10. Johnny from Epping, not sure what he's got on his agenda. My five thoughts, I'm not sure if I've got them this week. I'm having a very busy week. Welcome to you, Whispers. Good morning to you, Gary. Good morning to you. Now, off the top of the show.
What are you laughing at? Off the top of the show this morning. Giggling like a little schoolgirl.
I've got to give you some advice this morning. Can you please, please not stray into the area of politics this morning? As anyone that was listening to our program yesterday, and this is a true story. What happened? I found out what happened to the text. What happened? At 6.19 a.m. yesterday, there was an overload. This is a true story.
There was an overload on the temper text because you said something about the Prime Minister maybe telling porky pies. So the company that monitors our... Text Machine is a global company called Phonebox. They said there was an unbelievable overload, which they thought was suspicious, and they shut down our system as a result of it. You know what the overload was? 619 yesterday.
There, I'm told, I spoke to Nims, over 3,000 people text at the same time agreeing with me. That's what happened. They wanted to text in and say, I'm right with you, big G. I know exactly what you said. So please don't, don't. Well, most people might have been sitting on their text messages from yesterday.
Please do not send them through again this morning in response to what Gary had to say yesterday. They review their policies. That's what I heard. Let's just keep away from anything to do with politics. You cannot win that. I know what you did yesterday, right? So don't pretend. And I'll be very careful what I say here.

Chapter 2: What happened with the text machine overload?
All right. Hey, 0-4-3-9-8-11-16. I'm looking at the old temper. She's up and going. We missed you, everyone, yesterday. So if there's anything that was said yesterday that you wanted to take us to task on, the WISP did a WISP tutorial that would have everyone up in arms.
He came out and genuinely supported Scott Pendlebury and his right to, well, cash in sounds a bit crash, but to take advantage of breaking the game's record. And that elicited all sorts of responses right across the board. Damn. Moved a few people, it did. And a couple of people I hadn't heard from for a long time just popped up in my- In support or in opposition to it? Mixed. It was mixed.
I've got to say, there's a couple of people out there that I know who are not fans of the AFL. So anything that might have been construed as being positive about the AFL decision, then they wanted to respond to that. A little bit of back and forth, but all good nature. You saw the Brownie interview feedback that was coming through at a heavy rate. That just stopped in its tracks.
That was tracking beautifully. Yes, it was. And I hear that massive, massive ratings for that the other night, which doesn't surprise me at all. Up with the LeBron announcement. Is that correct? To my word, it did. Well, well done to everybody involved. You and Johnny Ralph, you did a magnificent job. Johnny Ralph wasn't involved. Wasn't he? For the last time. Well, all I know is that it was...
He was badged. Not badging, but he was not badgering, but he was badged as part of it all. You said something extraordinary this morning. I've got something for you. No, before you get to that, you said something extraordinary this morning. Hang on, hang on.
Off camera.
This is okay. Off camera. This is okay. Otherwise, you know I'm loaded with stuff you did yesterday that I can spit back at. Which is why I will be comfortable bringing this to the table this morning. We're talking about Gout Gout. There's a little bit of something that we saw Gout Gout doing some starting out of the blocks. Yes. You said he was a touch slow. No, I didn't. Then you said this.
This is a direct quote. What did I say? To my expert eye, he is not a 100-meter runner, Wisp. He's a 200-meter runner. He will always be too slow out of the blocks. Oh. And I said, can you not improve someone who's only 16 years of age out of the blocks? He said, no, wish you either got it or you haven't. You said he was 13, by the way. You said he's either got it or he hasn't.
I watched a video of him doing some training with Noah Lyles. And the reason I've become an expert is I watched the Noah Lyles documentary. And his issue was he was slow out of the blocks. He was beating Gak out of the blocks. A fair way. But you can improve out of the blocks. How would I know? What do I know about running? Well, you said you're an expert. Well, I say I'm an expert.

Chapter 3: What major events did Gary experience yesterday?
He's broken 10 seconds already. No, he hasn't. Yes, he has. No, he hasn't. Gout Gout has broken 10 seconds. No. See, this is the problem. Well, now I'm pausing because- This is the problem. You enter into my field without any level of information. Hey, Brooke, please tell me in my ear if I'm right or wrong. Are you unofficial or unofficial? Well, it was a window system, wasn't it?
Right. That doesn't count.
It hasn't been recorded and recognized. Doesn't count. Okay. All right. I apologize. Okay. I accept it. On another matter- the Jamie Vardy doco last night. Oh, you've got to watch it. This is fantastic. Soccer player? A soccer player, yeah. Made his name at Leicester. But the outline to the story is he was a very good, talented young kid, you know, in the Pathways program, all that sort of stuff.
Who did he play for? Just local stuff at the time as a kid. Yep. And then they said, oh, no, you're too small. You're not going to make it. So I think he was 16. So they said they gave him the Kyber at 16. So then he just bummed about, had a good job, all that sort of stuff, and then started to play again. And I think they're an eighth or ninth ā division-type team. That's how low they were.
Who was he playing with? I can't remember exactly the name of the little village town. But anyway, it was like village soccer. You know, like 100 people would turn up and watch it and that sort of stuff. And then he sort of climbed through the ranks. This young bloke heard about him, was reading the papers. He wanted to be a manager. And so he tracked him down.
He became his manager, and he is still his manager to this day. The story is fantastic. It is a fantastic story. And he's a laid back bloke. He probably drank too much. He probably went out too much and partied too much with his mates. And every now and then, Gary, they cut back to his mates.
It'd be like you when you made it and they go back to your mates in Clabram who were still sitting in the pub. They're still sitting in the pub talking about their mate who made it big time. It is. Anybody that enjoys a sporting doco, you're going to love this. You're going to fall in love with this. Jamie Vardy untold doco is the best I've ever watched. So he went to Leicester City, yeah?
That's where he, yeah, that's where he did. And he broke the record. He broke a record for scoring in consecutive games. So Ruud van Nistelrooy had the record and he broke it 11 games in a row. Is that the one that you watch, the untold doco? That's the one, yeah. I watch it. How long does it go for? Well, it's long enough for your attention span. I think it's a one hour 30, 35.
Nathan Vardy docker. I'm watching it. And I was thinking of him. I was playing for the cats.

Chapter 4: What are the key highlights from the sports updates?
This morning after I listened to that interview that Stephen May did with. Pipe. The Pipe yesterday. Beautiful work by the Pipe. I was just driving on listening. You and I have been in the company in presence of Stephen May. He's been in our studio with us. He is such a likable, likable bloke. Yeah, he is. He's very personable. Very personable.
And he's made himself into trouble over the journey, mainly when he's been on the source. That's right. He never makes excuses for himself. He's a very, very likable bloke. And I hope that life turns out the way that he hopes it does for himself. Yeah, we'll play some of that later. Well done to the pipe. Very nice work by him.
I want to put something out there, and if there's any other examples, I'm happy to take them. What I'm about to tell you should be punishable by a weak suspension from work with no pay. Right. If you work in an office environment where you have a shared computer, right, as we do, and the person who works with you previously leaves the caps lock on,
And you walk in the next morning at 4.30 trying to get your computer going. and you can't log in because your password's not working, because the picklehead the day before left caps lock on, that should be suspended. In fact, it's nearly a sackable offence. Do you know how much time I wasted this morning? You could work it out.
Trying to get my password to open the computer so I could start working. I wish I had a beat here. And if I find out who that was that left caps lock on, I will go to HR and say that's wasted and killed my whole morning. What else can you do? Don't you laugh, because you went bananas the other day because you couldn't get on. You hadn't plugged it in.
I didn't turn it on this morning, the computer. I didn't need to. I had so much stuff that I'd actually compiled yesterday. But who sits in that chair in the afternoons? It shouldn't be too hard to track it down. What about Vito? He's fallen in. I know it's Jamie Vardy. I called him Nathan for a joke, Vito. For goodness sake, man. Have any of you listened to our show? Oh, come on.
We like to have a bit of fun, Vito. Just wake up to yourself, mate. And if you sent a text, I'm interested in anybody out there that might have sent a text and blew up our machine yesterday at about 6.19 in the morning. What did your text contain that we didn't get to read? Mario's in North Carlton. Good morning, Mario. Not quite there yet, Mario. Oh, he's gone. Okay. That's a heavy footy topic.
Oh, sorry. I didn't even read the text. Mario, ring back later. We're not going to take that call. Sorry. And we know who Mario is. He likes to go very, very heavy. Very heavy. Gary, if it's Microsoft, it says below your password. No, it didn't. I don't know what else he's been. We're just two computer nuffs. We like to turn it on and we like to work.
We don't need to call NIMS down from technology. No. We're just at 4.40, turn the computer on, bing, up it comes, get on my websites, do my work. For 33 minutes, I was kicking, I was throwing stuff around the office because the password wasn't working and some numpty had left caps lock on. Sackable. Have you finished on that topic? Yes, I can.

Chapter 5: What strategies are discussed for defending against Cozzy?
It's going to be a real issue. I don't know whether they've got a set-up defender to go to him. Who's your normal little small shutdown defender? Well, Jake Bowie's come back into the team, but he's more your distributor, and I don't think they really want him locking down. So Monique Wakefield, who came into the side, but that would be asking a hell of a lot for him to go to Cozzy.
I think it's a team thing. I think you've got to look at what the Fremantle Dockers did in the second half of the game at the weekend to find out that the work needs to go on a little bit further up the field just to deny him the ball. I'll take Pickett, then Cameron, then Papley, then Lohman, then Stengel, then Rochelle.
Chapter 6: How do small forwards impact the game?
What? I don't. Well, no, that's fair enough. You can have your opinion. We'll get the poll. That'll give us a better indication because I can't keep up with all the text messages coming through. No, there's a lot of text messages coming through.
I think we can safely say, given the response that there's been from our audience out there, that they both love the fact that these players light it up the way that they do. Who would have thought that we'd be talking about small forwards as... I know. The most magical, watchable players in the game.
Yeah, and if you're a Hawthorne supporter or a Melbourne supporter and you're going along on Saturday afternoon, then understand it. But if you're just like footy and you've got nothing going on Saturday afternoon, you'd go and watch. Or you'd certainly be getting down in front of the TV and put Fox Footy's coverage of it. Don't worry about that. Borsh has been holding on for a while. Go, Borsh.
G'day, Gaz and Wish.
How are you?
Hey, good, Bush. How are you this morning?
I'm not too bad.

Chapter 7: What are the implications of Michael Voss's resignation?
I've talked to you a lot of times in the past, but not for a while.
I was compelled to call.
I said to Gary before we came on air this morning, I said, I haven't heard from Bush for a while, and lo and behold, you pop up.
I bet that. I'm a small forward, and it's the hardest position to play, mate, because you don't get the ball kicked here. You have to crumb, so they're both as good as his
Each other?
Each other.
Yep.
Exactly.

Chapter 8: How are Brisbane and Geelong performing in their upcoming match?
Okay. Did you want to talk about Carlton Bush?
Yeah, I did. I did. No, but firstly, your interview with Brownie as a Brisbane Bears supporter, Lions supporter, was brilliant. Made me tear up. And also the Vossie thing. Thanks. I just want everybody to know that Vossie is a champion of the game and... I really don't want his legacy to be dented by what's happened in the past. Well said. That's all I need to say.
Well said, mate. He's lost no fans, Michael Voss, in the way he's conducted himself. He just hasn't been able to nail the coaching point of view from the really pointy end stuff. So I appreciate that. Dennis is in Bundura. G'day, Dennis.
G'day, fellas. Just in regards to the Geelong incident the other night with the high five, If they haven't got the experience to throw them, they shouldn't be throwing them willy-nilly around the place. Accidents like this are bound to happen. And I'd probably go one step further and say it should be banned from the game altogether. It's just a bit of American nonsense that's crept into the game.
Are you serious, Dennis?
I don't think Dennis is that serious. Are you serious or not? No, you're not. No, you're not. We played that for you, Dennis, or for the others earlier in the week. Good on you, mate. Hey, it's running at 61%, 39% in favour of after 627 votes. Cozzy. Cozzy. Just at the moment, but there's still plenty of time to come. Hey, Sam Edmonds is going to join us. He's coming in out of eight o'clock.
So whatever's kicking around in the world of footy, he'll be with us. Just a quick question for you, just to put you on the spot. Yes, old grasshopper. Do you think in any way that John Longmire would be influenced in taking the Carlton job?
believing that if it's a big cultural build, he's already got four players that have been very much instrumental in the culture around the Sydney Swans at Carlton and Newman, Hewitt, Florent and Haywood. Do you think that would play into this at all in any way? I hadn't thought about it. They would have left, um... Well, yeah, they would help instill what, if in fact course is coming.
You look at Chris Fagan who went to Brisbane and he gets Hodgie up there, obviously for instructional, you know, the way they want to play too. Did they all lead on good terms from the Swans, those boys? I would assume so. Well, no, the last two didn't, but he wasn't there. Like Johnny wasn't part of their decision. That was at the end of last year with Coxie.
