How did the grand final weekend deliver unforgettable moments, including Matty Johns’ emotional reaction?
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, great to have you with us. It's Tuesday, September the 29th for Cafe Menu. Try my cafe's new drink range. Jonathan Brown's going to join us early this morning. He must be getting on a plane. We are also going over to Western Australia to speak to Mark Duffield. All the thoughts on the most extraordinary weekend of footy, including a grand final that just blows your mind and your calls and questions without notice are welcome. As always, operating from a broom closet this morning, but we'll get there. Welcome to you, Tim Watson. Good morning, Gary. Good morning, everybody. I love this new suite. I love this. Get off my lap. Would you get off? I can't operate while you sit on my lap. No, that's not me.
That's Nickelback. With 19 screens sitting on top of your head trying to juggle it
all. We've got Ollie's Trolley. We've got a new producer out there. Can you remember Ollie's Trolley? Yeah, big in Shepparton. Did they
have an Ollie's Trolley in Shepparton?
My word, they did opposite the lake. Oh, there was a beauty on Man Alexander Road too.
Well, you used to hit it up, did you? Yeah,
that was the regular Monday night dinner after training. That was Ollie's Trolley. You were bringing the beard back. No, no, I'm not. I just didn't have a shave. So I will have
a shave. You were too excited. You were too excited about the weekend.
You didn't have a chance to go and shave. Oh, there was so much going on over the weekend. The footy was
just
unbelievable.
How good was the footy?
I tell you what, our game, our game, and this is going to test Nickelback very early in the program. Our game is...
Can you touch this? Ha, ha. Well, the final series has been incredible. You can't touch it. You cannot
touch it. Our game at its best, and we saw some of the great games during the final series. There is nothing that can come near our football code.
No, we think that. We do think that. We're entitled to. I watched some NRL on the weekend. Not as good. It was pretty good. Not as good as ours. No, not as good as ours. I'm with you. I don't think so. But the Newcastle Knights coming from the wooden spoon to play in a grand final and the way it happened with they had to play one man down after Nathan Cleary got his leg broken. I was pretty taken. I'm not a big NRL man. Anyway, it's all about our game. What about
our man, though?
Which,
who? Our man up there in Sydney, our Sydney NRL correspondent who- Oh, Matty. Who's ghosting us. In fact, I think I'm to blame for that. What have you done? Well, you know how he won't come on our show anymore? Mm-hmm. I, over Christmas- He will come on our show. Well, no, he- He's
very busy.
Every offer we make
him, he declines. Oh, he's very busy. He's very busy. And
I actually now am of the feeling that it's my fault because at Christmas time last year, I was just sitting in the backyard and I was cooking some meat and I had a couple of glasses of Pinot and- I'm feeling just happy with the world. Happy with
yourself?
Happy with your face? I was just scrolling on my phone, and this Mexican drug cartel guy came up on my phone,
a picture of
him.
And I
thought, oh, God, he looks like Matty. So I sent it to him, and I said, oh, he's your doppelganger. And I haven't heard from him since.
Well, that's probably part of the reason, one would think. He and Joey were both, Joey's calling the game for Channel 9. Yes. Like he's in the commentary box and he can't talk. He was a blubbering mess. Yeah. So it gives you some indication, that whole Newcastle and the underdogs and how tight and close they are. And to be wooden spoon one year and then playing for a spot in the grand final. It was amazing. It was amazing. So anyway.
That game's a sellout too, by the way. Yeah, their game. Yeah, their grand final already a sellout, which is big news up there in
New South
Wales.
Well, they had enormous issues getting down. You know the story, don't you? Like there was problems with the train getting from Newcastle to Sydney and they got kicked off trains and had to get put on buses all to try and get there.
