You’ve done the great man dirty with that thumbnail, surely get him a box to stand on or something

[@stevvvvveperry]

Matty is a legend, so many great yarns.

[@bayleymonin]

I’d love to have matty as NSW coach, he knows who’s good & who isn’t

[@carltonfc9579]

Best bloke ever matty johns!

[@architectmarketing2219]

Love the humbleness of the HS boys have when they interview guests 🎉

[@ellecee7974]

Not being a dick just letting you know the word would be humility in that sentence 😊

Glorious Monday morning, this into the Monday poddy - hook it into my veins!! ❤

Sensational Effort lads This was F.entertaining !!!

[@jwouldz]

One of the great poddies lads, how good

[@richardatkin8526]

Matty is such an incredible storyteller, top bloke too! ❤

[@usarugbyleagueunionfan]

Good call on the international game. Needs to grow. Matty is funny as hell.

[@pauliewalnuts6734]

no one spins a yarn better than matty !

[@noworries3641]

Great interview boys!! Came here for Matty and subscribed to a new KZbin channel!! Great relaxed environment to dig in on someone interesting and Matty is a great media personality. Good for you mate!! From a kiwi living in the States. 🇳🇿🇺🇸

[@PHerrea]

Should’ve asked about the grill team 😂 loved that show.

[@Peter-wc4kr]

Incredible knowledge.

[@donsilk]

Another great interview boys.

[@tw96]

So good boys

[@SSTID1908]

Great poddy this

[@junglejuan1969]

Good poddy boys. Would have liked to known if the great Hoges was also an inspiration to mattys characters. Reg Reagan is very reminiscent of the legendary Arfa Dunga.

[@TeoGrehan]

I'd pay for just one of Mattys text books.

[@benireland1948]

Elite communicator - exact opposite to his brother

[@darshin95]

1997 is so weird, why wasn't their a Brisbane vs Newcastle game? two champions in one year is fucked

[@jeandique]

when did Jake Gyllenhaal start caring about NRL?

[@ceceliarossi5692]

Matty raves on about not much, alot.

[@gus-qj2mp]

What was the relevance of that Union segment? it went absolutely nowhere

[@wperfect]

Made the bookies look good

Maybe if you listened properly you'd know

Love Matty Johns but tell Reece Walsh and Cam Munster there’s no such thing as eyes up footy..

[@michaelfitzsimmons5374]

Grouse!

[@simonjames772]

i hate that matty johns has a serious side

[@rambohrynyk8897]

Matty's Bucket list.....Palm a tennis ball 🎉

[@rambohrynyk8897]

I'm worried if he waves his hand around any harder he snaps his fingers in half 😂

[@BennjkSyd]

Great to get an insight on Matty’s life and footy knowledge. Until he started saying how good the roosters coaching under robbo is. He knows that isn’t true. Robbo couldn’t coach team of men against an under tens team. They sign other team stars while cheating the cap, openly. And even doing so still struggle. Robbo blames the young halves for his horrible coaching. He’s blessed a premiership by his million dollar owners every single year by being able to sign whoever he wants and he still can’t get the job done. Unless he’s give 4 or 5 super starts in an off season

[@cameronsteven490]

It must kill you when Roosters win premierships..
