Great podcast guys. I met Willie Mason in Boots Leeds back in 2004 I worked there when he was over with Aussie Kangaroos for Tri Nations and day before final he came in and asked me where the headache tabs were and I showed him and said good luck for the final and he told me the headache tablets are to recover for the party after they beat us poms hahaha cool guy.
Could have went down as one of the best forwards ever if he stayed at the Dogs
Holy fuck shrooms with Willy Mase just got added the bucket list
Everyone talks about Cam Smith as the GOAT for 400 games but Jammer did it first. A true legend of the game
Not to mention Steve Menzies, combine his NRL and Super League career, almost 500 games played
This is my favourite one yet. God I Love Willie. He’s so knowledgeable of the game we love and loves it just as much as any fan. The only people who find him rude are people who hate hearing the truth. And that’s all he speaks! Awesome yarn here James
I listened to this at the gym this AM. The audio podcast version. What an episode.
nothing better than working out listening to 2 legends
Love how Graham's saying 'some people self-medicate and it doesn't work... the solution is to exercise, have a good diet, not smoke...etc'.
Then Mase straight away says 'oh mate and that's why I'm using magic mushrooms and fasting, they fix everything!!!'
Willie becoming the host for a while there :-D great episode
Let's go Sunday night sorted
the guests keep pouring in youve had some great ones in on the show so far
Love Willie’s honesty! Bet he’s got some stories!
Love big willie great podcast as usual would love some more ex dogs players on it 🔵⚪️🔵⚪️🔵
What a great episode 👍
The best rugby league podcast by far....good to see willie mason,omeley,bobcat,asotasi,Sherwin and even Tonga and sbw at the dogs..even though they all went to many different clubs they are Canterbury bankstown bulldogs..
Thanks James and co. !!
Great guest. Love Willies candour and honesty!!
Loved it. Thank you so much.
How tough was Roy Asotasi, dead set.
Same class of toughness as a Ruben Wiki, Ruben Wiki just turned 50, happy birthday Rubes.
There's one for you Jammo - Ruben Wiki.
He`s no where near the toughness of Wiki
Bit harsh to judge Fielden for how he was after after the game, bloke would have still been concussed.
love these podcasts thank you very much
Great content brothers💌..touched a spot 👌 thanks 🌈
Willie is a legend
Great chat as always lads. Bring back the footy already!
100% agree with Willie I am 42 now and happy to grow up in a world without social media why take a phone and film a concert so agree
I'd love to watch a poddy of Willie on shrooms, make it happen big fella. 👍
loved this pod!
Great episode
Best one yet.
Top chat. Good stuff boys.
best podcast yet James
Great interview, Mason was awesome player
James Graham LEGEND
Keep them comin jimmy 🔥🔥
Willing Mason great player and james graham bulldog legends awesome podcast
Both of ya were at ya best @ the dogs🔵⚪👊
Afro Willie was the best. If ya a Bulldogs fan you know this dude was a great player for the club. I sure do.
Im pretty sure magic mushrooms help keep the brain soft like its meant to be. Cte is when the brain hardens. Does anyone know of any research is being done in this space? Coolest rugby player ever 😎
Darren britt influenced the ball playing skills of willie mason at the bulldogs and James Graham at St Helens...now willie and James can teach the next lot of young bulldog forwards that ball playing role
Dirty sod.
Enjoyed seeing JP sort him out
Great boys also learn an instrument it's unbelievable for your brain
Having some knowledge of sheet music it's like a powerworkout for your brain
The memory improvement is massive
They some mad fangs dare big willie
Class fight lol Peacock won that one mind
Was Shaun Edwards who hit Clyde with a high shot. Got sent off for it
It seems like the WWE.
Mason was the best forward at the time. Also Moz
He doesn't look 42
True story
Your both natural life coaches
Obviously Fielden didn’t shake his hand. It was a fucking cheap shot. He clattered Sean Long later in the game with a cheap shot too.
Hull kr legend
^ Why did your comment get an option to ‘translate to English’? 😂
love Mason but bulldogs were only good for a few years but didn't last long until my Storm stomped them on a regular mate cheehooo!!!
I tagged a girl with willie once, he has a 14 incher hey.
Ol' Willy is gutted modern players don't binge drink.
Jamie peacock smashed him in Sydney
Alcohol is slowly losing its place in society give it 30 Years and alot less people will be doing it
I hope so, would make going out a lot more fun. We'd be happier for it.
@@Jamie-ye7fu it's gonna be about opening and expanding the mind instead of dumming it down
@@okusfayreno8599 yep, be nice to actually talk to your mates for once and have genuine company that isn't aided by everyone being gormlessly hyper on a drug
Thank god
Ben simmions isn't killing shit besides his career lol
One thing about Graham and willies podcast there's no spin, not like 360 too much politics and self interest
"promosm" 😱
'promo sm' 😴
Footballers so out of touch with the rest of the world not knowing how to book their own drs appointment... must be more than just head knocks that's wrong with them
James needs a spray tan LoL
Ohhh Fuk yeah will the master at content the take pod cast yktr podcast shuld of had Ian on with him
Best one yet.
