27/04/2013 Wobblewatch: Jim Run Gym

This Saturday Rub clip features JB, Garry, Spud and Damo with the first Wobblewatch edition of 2013. It's been so big that Spud was in early in a room with the producer Rosemary, planning the segment, because it comes with a lot of audio grabs. For those of you that don't know, headwobblers are people in football and in the media that are starting to get ahead of themselves. This is where Spud brings them back down to earth. It starts off with Hamish McLachlan for riding a lame Snowy, the horse, next to Black Caviar. the enxt bit is a puzzler. I don't see how it's a wobble from anyone other than himself, but Spud plays a grab from SEN that pumps his own tires up about predicting Ken Hinkley would be a ripper coach. Damo and Jim are confused by it too. Next is Howie's interview with Greg Norman, where Shark called him "Howie". Spud reckons after that interview, he walked around for 4 hours with a woody, or as he describes it "a bar Superman couldn't bend." Jim interrupts but Spud leaves him with a simple, "Get a life, Howie." Next is the Duke, who was interviewed on Thursday about an ANZAC Day clash he played in 9 years ago, where he indicates he forgot all about it, but then suddenly has a bunch of great memories. Spud's description is that if he and The Voice's Seal had a lick-off, Duke would win, because he's got a strut bigger than a peacock's at the moment. He tells Warrior not to laugh because his work on the Footy Show has been underperforming, apparently calling the boys if they have any news so he can fill his segment on the show, while Billy broke the biggest story of the week about the two Cats players picked up by police for a prank. But there's an audio clip of Purple too. Remember last night when he said that he was happy with his courage? Well Spud has something to say about that. This from a man that uses a hair straightener on the Footy Show, and is apparently Mark Robinson's biatch. He reckons Damo's only courage would come in a type-off with a "Haircut" Timms or a spelling bee with Gerard Whateley, or "a three-hour debate with Dan Lonergan about the skeletal system of a dung beetle." Next was going to be Garry but he decides not to put him in, instead, Eddie McGuire in for his "Press Red for Ed" rubbish on Foxtel last week. But it's all building to the pièce de résistance, and that's JB. Firstly it's about his stupid spat with Caroline Wilson, then it's his naming of Greg Norman "Shark", as if he knows him personally, which he thinks is akin to calling Russel Crowe "Rusty". Next is Jim's cut eye from yesterday's golfing. If anything, Spud has more of a go at Channel 7's Tom Brown for the news report from last night, telling him he couldn't break a plate and needs to LIFT! And then it's back to Jim for having the arrogance to complain about a cut eye when he's playing golf, while everyone else there has to work for a living. But this is the big one -- Spud has uploaded a video to the Triple M website -- it involves Jim training in the North Melbourne gym alongside the players during a training session. Jim is on the treadmill running while everyone else is working around him. The boys are outraged that he could be taking up facilities while poor little North players are having to wait to use them. What's it all mean? That James Brayshaw is the new holder of the Golden Trumpet award, though it's starting to sound broken. Apparently Spud's had this exclusive video for a long time and won't reveal his source. Garry thinks Brad Scott should get on the line today and complain about his President dagging around the players as they try to train. And that's it, Spud is spent. But it doesn't stop him having a crack at Damo for his last month. Purple reckons he's been tracking very well, which just makes Spud laugh. But Jim thinks the segment fell flat because he threw away the paper he wrote on Garry's wobbling. So he brings it, firstly for his mocassins from last night's show, and then the way his swagger evaporates when the Duck is in the box, turning into the dag on the sheep's ass. They finish up by adding some tweets about Jim's running, one claiming he looks very feminine, and one coming from the pasty, freckley, red-headed Adam Simpson, who confirms that Jim was doing this back in 2009. The outrageous bit comes from Garry, where he reads a text from Glenn Archer, saying he wouldn't have had a facility to train in if it wasn't for Jim, yet that very text was written by Jim himself! Listen to Garry with his head in his hands as he says this has all gotten out of control. Love it. All content owned by Southern Cross Austereo.
