#85 Matty Johns | The Bye Round with James Graham

[@jr.3308]

Will never get tired of listening to Matty talk footy tactics and history. One of the brightest footy brains in the world and he has such a measured and passionate way of expressing his thoughts.

[@guillembauza1658]

No idea where you're from. I've no interest in any Rugby but I'll listen to anything this guy says.

[@thebyeround]

he is a genius

[@toddgoodwin4203]

I already listened to the pod, and Hearing Matty being the one interviewed is one of the best podcasts I’ve heard. Well done Jimmy, this is one of your best in a great field

[@thebyeround]

cheers todd!

[@paulbrocksom9285]

Best one yet, love Matty's passion, knowledge of British rugby league and attitude for life.

[@leeprest4976]

Love this. 2 top lads having a craic. Spot on lads.

[@sandorclegane3658]

I love Matty. So happy things are going so well for him.

[@87fsp04]

This was a great listen! The way they bounced off each other just made it really easy and interesting.

[@crazyprayingmantis5596]

Two of the greatest philosophers of our time. ☺️ This was a mad chin wag lads 🤙

[@mjunior-213]

Dam awesome podcast. Matty john's is a legend and 1 hilarious dude!!!. 9 should've given matty the footy show , he was made for it. He would've killed it on ther . He is killing it now on his own foxtel show with hindy and fletch. Best football show on foxtel hands down. If footy show was to make a come back , have matty been the main guy with hindy & Fletch lol. Thanks James for this 1 😎👍🏽

[@joshinaround9551]

One of the most insightful conversations about rugby league i've ever heard. Glad this came up in my recommended. Was well worth the time investment.

[@Mr83rt]

What a yarn.. One of the best Jimmy

[@ebanjones-p5b]

Jimmy the comp between the Jurno's was between TV, radio and journalist's. It was called the jurnos cup played at Tunks park the year I played. Also involved was ex league players working for radio stations. The year I played you had guy's like Steve Mortimer,Peter Jackson,Brett Papworth,Peter Fitzsimmon,Ron Sigsworth paying.

[@Crim_tams]

I've heard Matty, Joey and Mitch Pearce the other day talk about Alan Bell, I'd love to listen in on one of his sessions talking tactics if Matty is any insight into his expertise

[@petesgram]

An Office quote within 80 seconds, has to be a record.

[@jasonbatty3135]

New drinking game . Have a shot every time matty says Jimmy bet you won't make it to the end

[@TimClauson]

Blacked out after 20 minutes

[@Fordtrain]

Me Wimmy

[@benireland1948]

He's gotta be a top 5 in the world storyteller - just a natural

[@JimboPrague]

Check out one of Matthew's podcasts wherein he talks to a guy called Craig Johnstone, who was an Aussie (from Matty's hometown of Newcastle) who made it big in the 1980s playing soccer for Liverpool. Good, intelligent discussion.

[@nickmilan2739]

Unreal episode!!

[@JRPete]

Brilliant interview Jammer, please do more science topics on the universe Jammer.

[@Dillybreh]

Jimmy is on to something with this charity match 😂😂😂

[@okusfayreno8599]

Top interview Jimmy 👌

[@Jagger8333]

Hahahaha the Josh Mansour line!!

[@Roosterscrow550]

My spine 1: Darren Lockier 6: Brad Fittler 7: Andrew Johns 9: Cameron Smith

[@Moneyalmenial]

Was just watching the TMM and CHT podcast with YKTR, one of them was saying Webby will wrap up the analysis if the guys are looking done. Love Webster.

[@adthomp]

how did hell did the miss to say Buzz vs Gould!

[@callumbrady88]

Office UK reference 1 minute in. This is going to be good

[@stuartjamesgreaves5471]

Wow what a great podcast.

[@anthonysinclair4114]

Matty jokes about his ability a bit, but he was a fantastic player. He was a young star in the Knights team before Joey ever debuted. I was living there at the time and thought he was brilliant

[@Paddlepoplion]

Fox team- Matty John’s Fletch Hindy Gordie Mal Meninga Cooper Cronk Anasta Corey Parker Channel 9 team- Joey Thurston Cam smith Wally Lewis Fittler Gallen Slater Lockyer Fatty Sonny Bill Thaiday I know I’m missing a few but I think channel 9 would win convincingly.

[@rashneelwalla380]

Wally has cte he ain’t doing much

[@peterpiper7951]

Imagine Matty and Joey as kids. No wonder Joey became a better footballer, because in the intellectual stakes he would have been copping it from his brother.

[@TheUndertaker575]

Take a shot everytime he says Jimmy

[@LMT95]

He loves emphasising peoples first names 😂 he kept calling Denan, “Beak”. Was hilarious

[@roberttaylor5841]

That was interesting fun.

[@Abcdee8]

Goooodiiessss, goody goody yum yum

[@briankennedy1192]

Jimmy _ 😂😂 it might just bite you're leg off.

[@andrewkaleopa7352]

WARNING: Don't watch this during work. 😂 It was the Josh Mansour line

[@badjujuforever]

so, the thing is beak

[@LMT95]

“Boik”

[@FieldPlug]

so good

[@sallymay24]

Fuck me this was a damn good poddy

[@rayg5604]

stegasarous dawg

[@RitchButch]

Check Fr Chris Alar talk on the big bang theory and evolution.

[@paulturner9542]

Matty is one of the most intelligent people in rugby league, it's actually disappointing he wears the mask of the buffoon and clown in 80% of his work. His vies on youth coaching is absolutely spot on and why rugby league is so boring and robotic today.

[@andrewturk6562]

Thats becurse he is a clown but a rich clown. Never take a tip of what team will win got nothing

[@mightyknight]

He's such an underrated analyst. I've learnt about playing from this podcast.

[@littemisscarrage2909]

the fact he doesnt luv himself like his brother

[@4forty6six]

WTF is Troy Fletcher? 😂

[@SkeletorsSon]

Fletch's thai massage parlour alias 😂

[@Anonymous-h2y]

Hahahahaha😂😂😂😂 ​@@SkeletorsSon

[@briankennedy1192]

😂 ex Newcastle forward in 90s 😂

[@christophermacmillan7438]

Barefoot full field

[@bobbrewer5182]

My uncle is a complete and utter nutcase and he hates Matty!

[@notmaireelneim]

Uh...first...oh...wait.

[@TimBoss2000]

You sound like Belinda Sharp "Reuben wait, wait Reuben! Reuben!!" (Why won't he wait when I tell him to wait?)

[@wadestewart627]

Blokes

[@noworries3641]

Good combo right here. Not gonna lie Jamma your rant on P. Fitzsimmons is off the mark. You got in your feels way too much. He’s a journo and entitled to his opinion. PF (who I’m not a big fan of btw) said “a quiet word” because it’s a way of saying yes I’m writing a published column but hey a word to the wise. Just because you’re a former player doesn’t give you exclusive rights to how people I. And around the game address subjects. Harden up buttercup!

[@andrewturk6562]

Your brother could play your just lucky you was in the team that won a comp with andrew.

[@joshloreto2676]

Lucky haha who you think joey played against the most to get to where he got to ..think
