Gordy, what a good surprise for a wednesday

[@AussieGgc]

And what a legend and good bloke

[@luke_m23]

One of the greatest interviews ever, well done guys

[@Odd1x]

My old mans favourite player! Up the raging bull 😤

[@kundanpanday1988]

Queenslander to the fullest.. What a legend

[@stacegreer7125]

This was seriously such a good listen! Gordy - what a great story teller, so fluent and effortless! Well done on this one boys 🤙🏾

[@quirky_worm6920]

Kèmpy is so good. How he structures questions and transitions to the next. So good. Thanks

[@ethanwillis6970]

He's been following the same structure/pattern since the Locker Room days. Nothing wrong with it, but a little predictable. James Graham is a great interviewer in my opinion, seems a bit more freestyle, in a good way.

[@lachyolm8566]

Build the man a statue outside Suncorp, the bull deserves it 🙏

[@sloppygoo]

No effing way no ex captain of any club has worked so tirelessly since retirement to bring their club down. Legendary player but furthest thing from a club legend

[@lachyolm8566]

@@sloppygoo was more talking about services to Queensland

[@sloppygoo]

@@lachyolm8566 it’s the home of the broncos more than qld look at the seats and outside the stadium the statues etc it’s all broncos

[@lachyolm8566]

​@@sloppygoo How many games did Arthur Beetson play for the Broncos champ?

[@lachyolm8566]

​@@sloppygoo Mal Meninga has a statue can't remember him playing too many games for the Broncos? 🤔🤔🤔

[@FieldPlug]

Best league interview i've ever listened to. What a bloke

[@zakwilliams7933]

What an interview! Unreal watch

[@GodlyCarnage]

Bro I was so happy to see Gordy was on. Brah he hit us with some really good points. And mad to hear about his family and upbringing. Queenslander !!

[@lewiswilson7237]

Just magnificent. I love these kind of interviews. Two eleoquent, passionate rugby league men.

[@stuartjamesgreaves5471]

Had the privilege to meet Gordy after the World Cup finals he came with Terry O’Connor to our local ARLFC in Oldham and big Bazz was the MC.Fantastic afternoon with a Q@A about the famous fight ,what a champion of a man .

[@MadMatt598]

On fire lately Kempy, your one on ones have always given a great insight but JT into Gordy has been next level. Cant wait for the Goat and Beak to finally reunite and relive one of the all time great tries.

[@ZacHart91]

Fuck that's good gear. I'm from Townsville and grew up playing footy from about 10 or so. Gordy was talked about being a legend of the town and this was early 2000's. Great interview and the love he shows Kempy touches the soul. Good bit of gear this

[@abdul_grizzley]

Thought Talis was a grub but now I understand he’s a good guy good energy

[@jaredbrady5566]

Gordie looks like a Buddhist monk in the thumbnail. Great interview. Chewy is a legend

[@jonnonz9430]

Any other Tongans surprised the great bloke Gordy is a tongan ? I knew it 😂😂😂 up the tongan Queenslanders 💪

[@nesian015]

He was named for tonga in a world cup early 90's but pulled out due to injury.

[@dempsey138]

Great listen! Love your work Kempy.

[@Media_By_Josh.]

Unreal podcast. My favourite player growing up.

[@quirky_worm6920]

Always appreciate Gordie's take

[@mr33spitnbarz28]

For a two headed Queenslander! Old Gordy is a top bloke, and not a bad footy player in his day.. thoroughly enjoyed this one kempy!👌👌

[@alexandermacdonald499]

Gordon Tallis telling you “nah mate we’re fighting” I’d be shitting myself

[@yeahyeahyeah19852]

Legend.

[@taikitaniwha1845]

Kempy mate i love all your podcasts content but mate in my humble opinion that is the best one yet that going to be hard to beat ❤️👍

[@rpx3060]

Gordy low key looks like the dalai lama with that jersey on

[@Ben-fg2hu]

this is iconic... gord is the man.

[@Ausbrahdave]

Drink everytime he says cool lol

[@M1cko_]

BIRD IN A CAGE 😂

[@sbwmakavelli3833]

How good 👌

[@m.daniels1496]

Shieeet …the raging bull is 50 this year😮🙌🏾✊🏾

[@tashreeqkadir300]

Another gold

[@phenomblitz8676]

The greatest player of an entire generation. The stand out moment was in an Anzac test when Gordy layed out kiwi hardman Jarrod McCracken and when the Kiwi's stepped forward to do something Gordan turned to face them and just stared them down. I was like "WTF . Steve Kearney you suck !!!" lol. Thee only one who would have taken on Tallis was unfortunately laying prone on the ground

[@PED1985]

Which year was that? I'd love to have look!

[@AusIrishRooBhoy]

Would you say the interview was pretty cool Gordy? I think so.

[@Dmillseye]

Farkkk what a poddy

[@rogercotterell9669]

Kempy were you nervous in this interview?

[@ballchinian911]

The raging potty calf 🐄.
