Speaker 1 (00:00):
Yeah, guys, just letting you know that on Monday, we
have got an outstanding double episode coming up with well
legendary broadcaster Ray Hadley. He talks about his time in
rugby league, his career, some of his great friends and
of course some of his feuds, plenty of those. But
in the meantime he's a little preview. One thing for
(00:21):
you Blakes, which I really appreciate is that they would
as a term, you'd stick tight, so if someone got
into one of you blakes, you got into all his
I remember there was an instance once we played in nine.
We played Cronulla at home. Right now, what had happened?
Rare going the game Andrew? We lost in Origin through
the week and Joey had a particularly poor game. Anyway,
(00:43):
one of the selectors had tipped Chippy off and said, mate,
John's Andrew's going to be dropped, and he's right, So
the paper runs it going into that game that day. Anyway,
We're going to the game and Joey in this game
has a blinder, ends up setting up there four or
five tries and you know, really states his case to
remain in the team. Anyway, I'm walking into the press
(01:03):
conference with Warren Warren Ryan, who actually hated Chippy, you.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Know, and it was mutual, like I said, it was mutual.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Mutual and anyway, he said, he do you sot favors?
Stick up for your brother. He Now, I didn't know
what was had been on the back paper, and I
certainly didn't know the Chippy wrote it all. I was
saying that the selectors, you know, talking about dropping and
if they dropping their kidding anyway, I said, you know
this anyway, They Warren nuged me and said, trying to
defend your brother and it was all about Chippy and
(01:32):
he goes. I said, yeah, there is all the reports
going around and Andrew been dropped fan if you saw
him today, you know, if anyone wants to drop Joey mate,
they've just done out. They're looking at well as I
walk out. Barry too, who graws me. It was a
Newcastle journalist who knew Chippy very well, and he said,
oh listen, you want to be careful. He said, mate,
Chippy's just taking that person. And I said, well, no,
(01:54):
Chip not having to go Chippy, I'm having to go anyway.
It was too late. So for the next six months
and return to every time I turned on the continuous call.
All I was saying is made Seriously. Newcastle are fantastic side,
but they've got to get a decent fucking five a.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Well. To that extent, you work now occasionally with Buzz
and look, I used to have a fair platform. I
was working seven days a week, right, I was doing
the talkback show, the talk show Monday to Friday, and
the football so I could square.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Up with Buzz.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
I'm now legless. If he attacks me, I've got unless
this podcast. I can give him a serve. But I
noticed that Andrew is locked horns with bulldog Richie ye
Jack check. Look, Andrew, you're finding any your weight division.
I pissed myself. Bulldogs are made of mine. But you
know this, I've been riding rugby league for thirty six
(02:48):
years and I'm enta bull I'll drop off. I mean,
you think Paramatta are legalist under Jason Rolls, I disagree
with you, by the way. I think Rolls will be
a really good coaching and I think he's done a
pretty good job this year. Joey thinks like I do.
And just because he happen to mention your name, mate,
it's notoriety, it's notoriety. He said your name. He didn't
(03:09):
say you know Bullman Richie or get your name. He
got your name right. So if you get your name right,
it's a fairly large audience. He's talking to one free
to wear, so just cop it. But Andrew is a character.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
I love our bulldoger this. Someone asked me about Bullog
recently and Bulldog wrote these articles philly provocative articles on
para matta And they said, yeah, what was behind that?
I said, youve got to understand abot Bulldog, right, I said,
when Bulldog wrote that story a number of years ago,
during the COVID years, this is the worst Queensland side ever, right,
and they they're going to win the series. Well, that
(03:48):
front page that Bulldog had written and been proven dramatically wrong,
and all the Queens generally, most people would get that
front page of Barrett in their backyard. Every time he
is interviewed via zoom, he sits in any of the background.
Not only has he got the front page, he went
and got a fucking frame.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
I did, like, what was the headline Jack of the
Jack's got it? What's the headline of the article he
wrote about Joey. It's like something You don't have to
be an immortal or something.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Don't need an immortal snapping at my heels.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
There's nothing People in Melbourne don't understand that.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
There's nothing like a rugby league blue And what you're.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
About to listen to is, as you may have just learned,
Bulldog Richie went after our uncle Joey during the week,
so we decided to play a little prank back on
Bulldog enjoy.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Mate, Doggie boy. What are you boy?
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Mate? I'm in the middle of a podcast with Joey.
Now I've got a bit of mile that you're going
to unleash on three sixty or something. No, I'm mate,
you've got to drop off. He's an immortal. I know
you've been capping in the game for thirty six years,
but you've got to drop one time. Well mate, you
wouldn't think so the way you write about him. That
was a and disgrace what you said about him.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
Mate.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
He's a personal made of mine. He's a personal friend
of mine. Okay, Well, I don't think so. The way
he's talking about you here, has he bagging me? Well,
I wouldn't say he's being very complimentary. Okay, he take
me first attack? You mate. He's an immortal. Isn't titled
attack who he likes?
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Aren't your opinion?
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Well? Mate, yes i am, but I wouldn't take on
an a mortal. They're not an immortal.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
No.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Look, i'd advise you on now, I'm serious. I'd advise
you on three sixty to drop off.
Speaker 1 (05:38):

Speaker 2 (05:38):
I'm not going to Well, you're not going to go on.
Speaker 1 (05:41):

Speaker 2 (05:44):
Hang on, hang on, he's here. What do you say, Joe?
Speaker 1 (05:48):
If you want to apologize?
Speaker 2 (05:49):

a big man bulldog to step back from things. Okay,

the first apology you made.
