Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: When you hit off with your mates, and you just
- 0:02Speaker 1: crack gags, added a lot of colour, humour.
- 0:06Speaker 2: Time.
- 0:07Speaker 3: He went to boss level. For Barra's bits. Have some
- 0:10Speaker 3: of this.
- 0:11Speaker 4: Bang. Gold's 96FM.
- 0:15Speaker 3: Well, Barra.
- 0:16Speaker 4: Good morning.
- 0:17Speaker 3: So close, but yet so far.
- 0:19Speaker 2: Barra, we always get the long weekend on grand final weekend,
- 0:22Speaker 2: just the way it works out, and this.
- 0:24Speaker 4: Year we really needed it.
- 0:25Speaker 3: Oh, didn't we? Particularly the Dockers people.
- 0:28Speaker 1: I notice the psychologists have come out now and saying, look,
- 0:31Speaker 1: my advice is to be sensitive when talking to Dockers fans.
- 0:34Speaker 1: No footy talk, no eye contact.
- 0:36Speaker 4: No eye contact. They're not Prince.
- 0:39Speaker 2: That's just a red rag to Eagles fans, hardcore Eagles fans.
- 0:43Speaker 3: They are just going to, yeah, come on. I mean,
- 0:44Speaker 3: they're just shush. Don't say anything. Well, it says here,
- 0:47Speaker 3: definitely don't ask if they're okay. Oh, sorry.
- 0:50Speaker 1: Don't use the phrase tough loss. Just go for, would
- 0:53Speaker 1: you like a scotch finger biscuit? That's the best way
- 0:59Speaker 1: to go, apparently.
- 1:00Speaker 4: Upon which a doctor's fan will go, I'll give you
- 1:02Speaker 4: this finger.
- 1:03Speaker 1: Can I say laughter is normally the best medicine, but
- 1:07Speaker 1: not in this case.
- 1:07Speaker 4: Oh, well, no, even in this case.
- 1:09Speaker 3: They might take it the wrong way.
- 1:11Speaker 1: Look.
- 1:12Speaker 3: What can we say? Where did you guys watch it?
- 1:14Speaker 3: Were you at home? Yes, I was at some other
- 1:16Speaker 3: people's house. There was a crowd around watching it.
- 1:19Speaker 4: I was at a pub, a bar. A bar, yes.
- 1:23Speaker 4: With some friends watching.
- 1:24Speaker 3: And everybody thought they were home. They thought they were there.
- 1:28Speaker 2: And there was that one Brisbane Lions fan there just laughing.
- 1:33Speaker 4: Get back in your box, mate.
- 1:35Speaker 3: You've got to have that. Then he came to life.
- 1:37Speaker 4: Otherwise, there's no rivalry. I know, I know, I know.
- 1:39Speaker 3: What just happened, as you said, to audio from before.
- 1:42Speaker 3: It was an amazing weekend, actually.
- 1:44Speaker 1: There's three incredible games of footy in three codes, AFL, NRL.
- 1:49Speaker 3: And rugby.
- 1:50Speaker 1: So we'll get to the other two before the end.
- 1:53Speaker 1: But AFL, highest rating grand final of all time.
- 1:56Speaker 4: Wow.
- 1:57Speaker 3: Of all time. Wow. I think Kylie might have had
- 2:00Speaker 3: a bit to do with that. Would have helped. What
- 2:01Speaker 3: did you think of Kylie? Sensational. I was still driving
- 2:04Speaker 3: to watch the game. I heard it. I didn't see it.
- 2:09Speaker 3: Didn't you think? I thought she was amazing.
- 2:10Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
- 2:10Speaker 3: I thought she was good. I thought best ever.
- 2:13Speaker 2: I really liked G Flip. I've always liked her. Thought
- 2:16Speaker 2: she was pretty good. Yeah, I mean, what's not to.
- 2:18Speaker 3: Love about Kylie? Flying across the MCG, singing Locomotion.
- 2:21Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 2:22Speaker 3: It was unbelievable.
- 2:23Speaker 4: There's nothing not to like about Kylie.
- 2:25Speaker 3: That's right. She's Kylie.
- 2:27Speaker 1: We're not used to great performances at the grand final properly.
- 2:30Speaker 1: Something like that. 100,000 people on their feet with a
- 2:34Speaker 1: Locomotion thing. But then the four goals in four minutes
- 2:37Speaker 1: to win a grand final. We'll never see that again
- 2:39Speaker 1: as well. And Wharfie time may have been mistimed.
- 2:43Speaker 3: Did that happen?
- 2:44Speaker 2: Because I remember seeing a Colgate commercial and something for MKR.
- 2:48Speaker 3: Hang on, mate. And then when I came back. That
- 2:51Speaker 3: wasn't on 7, mate. It was somewhere else. Excuse me.
- 2:55Speaker 3: Because I did wonder whether it had happened. They were
- 2:58Speaker 3: going on about something. I didn't see it.
- 3:00Speaker 2: It doesn't cut through on the telly.
- 3:04Speaker 1: It's better at Optus, obviously, because there's 50,000 people in purple.
- 3:07Speaker 1: But it was probably not a celebration thing. They were
- 3:11Speaker 1: 17 points up. It's more of a, come on, it's
- 3:13Speaker 1: a war cry.
- 3:14Speaker 4: All I've heard is that they'll never be able to
- 3:16Speaker 4: play it again.
- 3:17Speaker 3: Because of the.
- 3:18Speaker 4: Way it backfired.
- 3:19Speaker 1: Do you think it might be, Wharfie time might become
- 3:21Speaker 1: a trivia question at footy nights in 20 years from now?
- 3:24Speaker 3: I think it'll definitely be in there somewhere.
- 3:26Speaker 2: It might become a feature for the Brisbane Lions next
- 3:28Speaker 2: year because it certainly G'd them into action.
- 3:29Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, they were ready for it. So
- 3:31Speaker 1: that was horrible. But look, there's some audio here. This
- 3:34Speaker 1: was probably, in my opinion, the best ending. So the
- 3:37Speaker 1: end of the game, Will Ashcroft just dominated the last
- 3:39Speaker 1: four minutes, right?
- 3:40Speaker 3: How he didn't get the Norm Smith.
- 3:41Speaker 1: And this weird bounce that went over Caleb's head, and
- 3:44Speaker 1: then he got it, and he had four bounces himself
- 3:46Speaker 1: running away, and gave it to Logan Morris for the
- 3:48Speaker 1: winning goal. Anyway, I happened to be listening to National
- 3:50Speaker 1: Indigenous Radio, the National Indigenous Radio Service, and Robbie Armat,
- 3:55Speaker 1: Jeff Farmer, my friend, the wizard, he was going toe-to-toe
- 3:59Speaker 1: with Chris Johnson, who's a Brisbane legend.
- 4:01Speaker 3: This is how the boys saw the end of the game.
- 4:04Speaker 3: It was magnificent. They keep it long. Oh, Strong almost
- 4:07Speaker 3: got the ball. Will Ashcroft.
- 4:08Speaker 4: He gives it out to Draper.
- 4:09Speaker 3: Gives it to Will Ashcroft. He'll hold the ball up.
- 4:11Speaker 4: He's got Rayner running drop shot. He's going to give
- 4:13Speaker 4: it over to McKenna.
- 4:14Speaker 3: No, he's holding it. He's going to, what's he going
- 4:16Speaker 3: to do here? He gives it to Logan Morris.
- 4:18Speaker 2: Logan Morris.
- 4:20Speaker 3: Logan Morris. Yahoo. Rippon Lions, you are the champions. Good save.
- 4:28Speaker 4: Who was that?
- 4:28Speaker 3: That was Joe. Robbie Armat, the main caller. Excited much? Yeah.
- 4:33Speaker 1: He was barracking so much. It was actually brilliant. So
- 4:36Speaker 1: well done to Robbie. And check that out, N-I-R-S. They
- 4:41Speaker 1: do a lot of the footy. And Jeff Farman, one
- 4:43Speaker 1: of the great guys.
- 4:44Speaker 3: Absolutely.
- 4:45Speaker 4: The original wizard.
- 4:47Speaker 3: Yes, that's right. The little Hawthorne like. That's right.
- 4:51Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 4:52Speaker 3: The grand wizard.
- 4:52Speaker 4: Yeah, the proper wizard.
- 4:53Speaker 3: The master wizard. Yeah. You might be able to judge
- 4:56Speaker 3: this as well, Lisa.
- 4:58Speaker 1: They say that Nice Guys finished last and so it
- 5:02Speaker 1: was in the AFL Grand Final because Alex Pearce damages
- 5:08Speaker 1: his Achilles.
- 5:09Speaker 3: Oh.
- 5:09Speaker 4: Purple Jesus.
- 5:10Speaker 2: I know.
- 5:11Speaker 3: I think they, you said that out loud. I think.
- 5:14Speaker 4: I always do.
- 5:17Speaker 3: You're the only one.
- 5:19Speaker 1: I wanted to use that on the news. And Dwarfy Time.
- 5:23Speaker 1: for when, you know, Duds was going. But that was
- 5:27Speaker 1: bad as well.
- 5:28Speaker 2: Thank goodness it's not as bad as we thought or
- 5:31Speaker 2: he thought or someone thought.
- 5:33Speaker 3: But they would have won. If he played the rest
- 5:34Speaker 3: of the game, they would have won.
- 5:35Speaker 1: Because Logan Morris would not have kicked three goals in
- 5:38Speaker 1: the last quarter if Alex Pearce was on deck.
- 5:40Speaker 3: Spiritual leader. I'm covering.
- 5:42Speaker 1: I'm going to, you know, I'll direct you boys. They
- 5:44Speaker 1: sort of lost a bit of drive when he went down.
- 5:47Speaker 1: But the whole nice guys finish last thing, people have
- 5:50Speaker 1: been saying, like, Lockie Neal.
- 5:51Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 5:52Speaker 1: How did he go? Third premiership, now moves to Collingwood.
- 5:55Speaker 1: He had the last laugh, I'm afraid to say.
- 5:58Speaker 3: And it's not going down too well with a lot
- 6:00Speaker 3: of people.
- 6:01Speaker 1: And he's really sticking it to everybody as well on
- 6:04Speaker 1: social media.
- 6:05Speaker 3: No comment from you guys? Yes, well.
- 6:09Speaker 2: Look, I've got so many questions about Lockie Neal. Probably
- 6:12Speaker 2: none of them for this program or this right now.
- 6:14Speaker 4: Podcast.
- 6:17Speaker 2: Why is he not coming to one of the WA
- 6:19Speaker 2: teams when he has small children that are now living here?
- 6:22Speaker 3: Oh, jeez. Is that the time? Anyway, after the break.
- 6:25Speaker 4: Too much?
- 6:26Speaker 3: Yeah. She went there. We'll circle back to it. NRL
- 6:29Speaker 3: owned rugby in Perth. It was huge. Oh, wasn't that
- 6:33Speaker 3: a game? Yes.
- 6:34Speaker 2: Whoa.
- 6:34Speaker 3: Change the subject. We'll change the subject.
- 6:37Speaker 1: Well, obviously, footy season's over now, so the Lions are premiers.
- 6:41Speaker 3: The Dockers did very well.
- 6:43Speaker 1: Nick Dacos is the Brownlow medalist. But the NRL comes
- 6:46Speaker 1: to a head on Sunday, the Rugby League, on Sunday
- 6:50Speaker 1: in Sydney.
- 6:50Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 6:51Speaker 1: And the supreme underdog has got through last year's Wooden Spooners.
- 6:56Speaker 3: Newcastle. Could be worse to first.
- 6:59Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 6:59Speaker 3: Unbelievable.
- 6:59Speaker 4: It doesn't happen often, does it?
- 7:01Speaker 3: They beat Penrith. Have you guys been to Newcastle?
- 7:07Speaker 2: No.
- 7:07Speaker 1: It would be going off. Like it'd be, you know,
- 7:11Speaker 1: Frio times 10. If Frio had won the premiership. That's
- 7:14Speaker 1: how very earthy people.
- 7:16Speaker 3: Coal miners. Coal miners, yes.
- 7:17Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 7:19Speaker 1: And this is funny because last time Newcastle won, 25
- 7:23Speaker 1: years ago when Joey Johns and Matty Johns was playing,
- 7:26Speaker 1: there's a famous story how Joey Johns, who's like the
- 7:30Speaker 1: greatest rugby league player of all time almost, and he's
- 7:33Speaker 1: from Newcastle, he went round to Daniel Johns' house and
- 7:38Speaker 1: kidnapped him.
- 7:39Speaker 3: Oh, from a sewer chair.
- 7:40Speaker 4: From a sewer chair, Daniel Johns.
- 7:42Speaker 2: Right.
- 7:42Speaker 1: Yes.
- 7:43Speaker 2: Yes.
- 7:43Speaker 1: So they're saying, listen, it's a beautiful Newcastle tradition, win
- 7:47Speaker 1: a premiership and go and kidnap a rock star.
- 7:49Speaker 3: So can you do that now? Now, the only thing
- 7:51Speaker 3: is Daniel's 47 now. Yes.
- 7:52Speaker 1: And I don't know that he still lives in Newcastle.
- 7:56Speaker 4: No, it's hard to bundle him into a car these days.
- 7:58Speaker 2: Yes.
- 7:59Speaker 1: I'll be trying to find him, get him in a
- 8:00Speaker 1: car and go and celebrate. But back in 1997, he
- 8:03Speaker 1: was a bit of a younger man. Are they even
- 8:05Speaker 1: still around?
- 8:06Speaker 3: Not as a band.
- 8:07Speaker 4: Not as a band, but, yeah, they're around.
- 8:08Speaker 3: You have to find the other blokes as well.
- 8:10Speaker 4: I'd try to kidnap the drummer. He has more of
- 8:13Speaker 4: a sense of humour.
- 8:14Speaker 3: Ben Gillies?
- 8:14Speaker 4: Ben Gillies. Yeah, he's fun.
- 8:16Speaker 3: You guys are so good.
- 8:18Speaker 1: Anyway, I looked at their songs and I thought if
- 8:20Speaker 1: Newcastle win, I reckon Silverchair comes back and plays Tomorrow.
- 8:23Speaker 3: Okay. Yeah, that was the big one. Tomorrow has finally arrived.
- 8:27Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 8:27Speaker 3: You reckon? I reckon maybe Freak. Freak? To go from
- 8:30Speaker 3: worst to first.
- 8:31Speaker 4: Yeah. That's pretty freaky.
- 8:33Speaker 3: Running straight lines. Yeah. Yeah.
- 8:35Speaker 4: Any of that.
- 8:36Speaker 3: Anna's song.
- 8:37Speaker 4: Maybe that's going to be the opening act.
- 8:39Speaker 2: They've got a secret opening act up their sleeve.
- 8:42Speaker 3: Actually, that could be right because the girl pulled the pin,
- 8:45Speaker 3: didn't she?
- 8:45Speaker 4: Tones and I.
- 8:47Speaker 2: And then they said that we're just going to give
- 8:49Speaker 2: the money to grassroots football and because we're going to
- 8:51Speaker 2: put boots on. Oh, no, hang on.
- 8:52Speaker 4: We've got one.
- 8:52Speaker 3: Sorry, kids.
- 8:52Speaker 4: New boots next year.
- 8:56Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right.
- 8:57Speaker 4: It was a quick turnaround. Valandes.
- 9:01Speaker 3: You guys are so up on it. The other bizarre happening.
- 9:04Speaker 4: We watched the news, Barron. You tell us everything we
- 9:06Speaker 4: need to know.
- 9:07Speaker 3: While you're still in makeup, we're watching the news. What
- 9:09Speaker 3: just happened? What just happened? That was me at the
- 9:13Speaker 3: end of the game. I went to the toilet. What
- 9:15Speaker 3: just happened? I come back laughing. I couldn't believe it.
- 9:18Speaker 1: Rugby test match was in Perth on the weekend too,
- 9:20Speaker 1: on Sunday. It was sensational. And the Springboks got beaten
- 9:24Speaker 1: by the Wallabies.
- 9:25Speaker 3: I know. Now, how many... Who saw that happening? Now, listen,
- 9:28Speaker 3: how many players in a rugby team? That's a tough question.
- 9:32Speaker 4: How many?
- 9:32Speaker 3: How many?
- 9:33Speaker 4: Oh, I would have absolutely no idea.
- 9:35Speaker 3: Eleven? No, that's cricket. Cricket, 11. Rugby league, 13. In
- 9:40Speaker 3: rugby union, 15.
- 9:42Speaker 4: Okay.
- 9:42Speaker 3: And you know how many players they were playing with
- 9:44Speaker 3: the Wallabies at the end?
- 9:45Speaker 1: 12. 11.
- 9:45Speaker 3: 11 players.
- 9:46Speaker 4: Oh, see, that's how good it was, 11.
- 9:48Speaker 3: Against those giant yuppies. It was unbelievable.
- 9:51Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 9:51Speaker 4: It was the cheapest.
- 9:52Speaker 3: And they still won.
- 9:53Speaker 4: Weren't the others way up with not long to go?
- 9:55Speaker 4: And then Australia?
- 9:57Speaker 3: It was 42-38. No, but I think Australia won. held
- 10:00Speaker 3: them off.
- 10:00Speaker 4: Oh, it was Australia that was in front.
- 10:02Speaker 1: Okay.
- 10:03Speaker 4: I knew someone was in front.
- 10:04Speaker 3: And there was just this wall of South Africans coming
- 10:06Speaker 3: at them.
- 10:07Speaker 1: Four players got sent off, four Aussies. So how's this
- 10:10Speaker 1: bizarre happening, though? This is so funny, ironic, because it's
- 10:14Speaker 1: Optus Stadium.
- 10:14Speaker 3: Mm-hmm.
- 10:15Speaker 1: Anyway, the communications didn't work. So he couldn't talk to
- 10:18Speaker 1: the box, you know, where the video ref is.
- 10:20Speaker 3: The ref couldn't.
- 10:21Speaker 1: So you know what he did? He went to the
- 10:23Speaker 1: sideline and got his own mobile phone and he rang
- 10:26Speaker 1: the box.
- 10:27Speaker 3: He did actually.
- 10:28Speaker 2: He rang.
- 10:28Speaker 3: He went, hello, information. Can you put me through to the.
- 10:32Speaker 3: Hey, Joe, are you watching this game? Listen, mate, what happened?
- 10:36Speaker 3: That's what happened. That actually happened.
- 10:39Speaker 1: It's not bulldust. So the Wallabies beat Springboks 42-38. Craziest
- 10:43Speaker 1: test match ever seen. As I say, four yellow cards.
- 10:46Speaker 3: And I guess being Perth, half the crowd would have
- 10:48Speaker 3: been South Africans.
- 10:49Speaker 1: They were very unhappy. Australia down to 11. Referees radio
- 10:52Speaker 1: stopped and They gave him a mobile phone. So unbelievable day.
- 10:56Speaker 1: Unbelievable day. Hey, can I just quickly in a somber
- 10:58Speaker 1: note mention Ian Miller? His funeral is today at.
- 11:01Speaker 3: The West Coast Eagles. WA football legend. Oh, yeah. 11 a.m.
- 11:05Speaker 1: Absolutely who Silverfooty will be. Arguably the greatest man I've
- 11:08Speaker 1: ever met in footy.
- 11:09Speaker 3: East Perth?
- 11:10Speaker 4: He was at East Perth. Yes, he was at East Perth.
- 11:12Speaker 3: Don't mention the 78.
- 11:13Speaker 1: 78, yeah.
- 11:13Speaker 4: There she goes again. He's ours.
- 11:17Speaker 3: He's a demon. I know.
- 11:18Speaker 4: He took it from us.
- 11:20Speaker 3: He's all of ours. So you both have a piece
- 11:22Speaker 3: of him. Yeah. All right. Thank you, Margaret. It's great
- 11:24Speaker 3: to see you guys back. Thanks.
- 11:25Speaker 4: We'll see you tomorrow.
- 11:25Speaker 3: Thanks, mate.
- 11:26Speaker 2: No worries.
- 11:26Speaker 3: Wayne was good too.
