1
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:03,400
Speaker 1: This is gem Nation with jonesy.

2
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:07,360
Speaker 2: Well made. Paramatter have lost the Grand Final on the weekend,

3
00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:09,360
Speaker 2: but you know, really they beat every other team when

4
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:11,280
Speaker 2: you look at it. They beat the Roosters, they beat

5
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:13,840
Speaker 2: the Sharks. I know, they beat the Cowboys.

6
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:16,040
Speaker 3: But they wanted to beat Penry.

7
00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:17,560
Speaker 2: Of course, and I wanted them to beat Penri.

8
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 3: Last week we spoke to Paul Galvin and like many

9
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:25,400
Speaker 3: huge Paramatta supporters, he was nervous, he was excited, he

10
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:27,520
Speaker 3: was a little bit anxious. How would the weekend go?

11
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:30,440
Speaker 2: Let's keep the vibe going, come on, because there is

12
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 2: always next year.

13
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 3: It's easy for you to say, how is Paul feeling? Hello, Paul,

14
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:36,600
Speaker 3: how are you feeling?

15
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 1: Oh, good morning, guys. It's pleasure to talk to you.

16
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 1: But I'd anticipated talking to you fifty beers in the

17
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:45,960
Speaker 1: under a tree for the Para River. I'm home sober

18
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 1: the judge, Paul.

19
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 3: And when the game was taking place, how long did

20
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 3: you hold out hope for in those eighty minutes?

21
00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 1: Just I think it's that that halftime halftime heard it

22
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 1: killed us every time. I was a big believer. I

23
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 1: thought it was this century, third time lucky, and then

24
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 1: I realized it was was. It was the old things

25
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,400
Speaker 1: happening in threes. And when I saw were we were

26
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 1: mill again at halftime for the third Grand Final of

27
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 1: this century, I just went, oh, no, here we go again.

28
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 2: And that's where my heart break for you. And I

29
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 2: was reading in the newspaper on the weekend someone had

30
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:23,759
Speaker 2: written paramatter was doing so well until Clint Gutheruson kicked

31
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 2: off to start the game.

32
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 1: Just like we just we went we were never in it.

33
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:30,960
Speaker 1: They were too good. I've got to give them credit.

34
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 1: It's just yeah, it's just been it's been hard, like

35
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,319
Speaker 1: just for twenty four hours. And that's why you guys

36
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 1: were so nice. I think you're the only core call

37
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 1: I've taken in the last three days. You made me

38
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 1: feel so welcome. And I just also wanted to say

39
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 1: I've met a lot of nice people over the last week.

40
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 1: They came up, got photos, Tim and a param and

41
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 1: the story and probably up until kickoff, I'll be honest,

42
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 1: I think it was the greatest week in my life.

43
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's the that's the thing about Grand Final football.

44
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 2: And I remember like when the Sharks, you know, they

45
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 2: got into that Grand Final, when they got into it,

46
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 2: that that was enough for me back then. But you

47
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 2: know it is like a heartbreaking that like I can

48
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 2: only imagine have empathy if like the Sharks had have

49
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 2: won that Grand Final, would've gone oh my god.

50
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 3: But do you feel like Penrith when they got into

51
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,079
Speaker 3: the Grand Final for the first time after years and

52
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:20,639
Speaker 3: years they were the inexperienced ones and now they've cemented

53
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 3: their place. Do you think Paramatta might be the new Penrith?

54
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:27,239
Speaker 1: You like the hope? So but like I just said, James,

55
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 1: you say, but maybe next year, I've been hear him

56
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 1: it now I'll go. I'll be doing thirty seven times.

57
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, test your nerves, doesn't.

58
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: What's the matter of paramounta Blue and golf they always file.

59
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 1: We'll just keep going and.

60
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 2: Going, Paul. We're not here to tell you that where

61
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 2: we want you. You're not going to give up, surely, no, no.

62
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:47,919
