What’s the opening banter and why is John “fired up” for the Grand Final?
Breakfast with Gary and Tim. Now, just before we get to John, I know
he's fired up
now. No,
Bozza.
What? Bozza. No, they don't have Oasis. They've secured Neville Stubbs. He's a busker who Pete, push ahead, Pete heard playing in Martin Place yesterday, and he does him. Oh.
We're back on air. He loved it. Bozza loved it. You just heard his laughter. He loved it. We're back on air. Now, I just want to say to John, I think he's going to give you a fair whacking about the whole lock in here. And all I want to say is this, all the last two days we've been telling everyone, just because your opinion's different to Tim's doesn't mean you're right.
So
don't get
abusive. I'm
ready for it. Don't get abusive. I'm ready for it. If he's different to yours, then that's okay. Don't be too personal, though. All
right. G'day, Johnny. Good morning, good morning, Timmy. Good morning, Gary. Good morning, Johnny boy. And I want to... Tell Tim how wrong he was.
Why do the hosts argue about Patrick Cripps versus O’Neill and what does it mean for the finals?
I rang him yesterday to stick up with him, not to go against him. Oh, I misread it. Oh, you misread it 100% Mike.
I tried to ring you yesterday and you didn't answer
your phone. I know, I know. I missed your call. I apologize. I missed your call. Anyway, now Gary, you're going to give me 10 minutes at least. 10 minutes? Otherwise, all this work I've done, I've done for nothing. I'm going to start with you
first.
Righto. Okay? The poor Tim Watson yesterday, he spent two hours with you, trying to convince you what local Neil Dunne said. It was nothing compared to what Patrick Cripps had done a few years ago. He covered three weeks. They took him to the Supreme Court, and Carlton got away, and he won the Brown Law Medal. You can't compare nothing. Now, this is one. This is one. Gerald tried to convince you all week what O'Neill done was nothing. It was just a soft punch, no? But you still insist, no, it's supposed to be. The rapport is supposed to lose the grand final, okay? That's the second one. Now, the third one, last night, they interviewed Will Schofield from Perth. You know who is Will Schofield from Perth?
Yes, we do. Yes, we do.
What did Will Schofield say about the “kiss punch” and its impact on kids dreaming of the Grand Final?
Okay. He was saying, for something like that to happen, he called that a kiss punch. You can see any kids start to play football, they dream easy to play the grand final. For a kid's punch, you're going to lose and play the grand final. It's completely wrong. And that's the third high up of people that go against you, Gary. Now I'm going to call you in Italian, in Italian, then explain to you in English. Otherwise, you think I'm going to offend you. I'm not going to offend you. You know that. You've got a Calabrese head. A what? A calabresa head. That doesn't sound
flattering at
all. You've got a
calabresa head.
You know what a calabresa head
is? It's some sort of pasta.
You've got a hot head. When you put something in your mind, no one is going to convince you if you're right or wrong.
Now listen to me. I've given you a good run. Are you listening?
Yes,
I'm listening. I respect everything you've said. Everyone has an opinion. Yeah,
I hope that
don't work. It doesn't mean that it's right. It's an opinion. Yours is different to mine, and that's okay.
Yeah, but sometimes you have to give up.
Why are the hosts calling each other “Calabrese heads” and what’s the story behind that joke?
Well, you
don't. I'm going to change your opinion. You're going to change your opinion. Exactly, Tim. You're going to change your opinion. You know you have to say yourself, I am wrong,
and that's it. Listen, just because Will Schofield says it's right, I'm probably then inclined to go even more the other way.
Why you never mention Patrick Cripps from Carlton? Why you never mention him? Can you compare Patrick Cripps and O'Neill?
I don't know what you're talking about with Patrick
Cripps. You know pretty well what I'm trying to say. You know.
I don't know what you're talking about. You do know. Anyway, what
else have you got? Forget about that now. That's finished now. That's in the past. I'm going to go to the horsey. And Simo. Oh, awesome, Simo. And you ask them why they've been targeted to cut your job at North Maribor. What do you think? What I think was... They didn't give you, I know why they didn't touch your job.
