Steve Philp joins the Run Home - 1/10/26

0:00Star Wars The Mandalorian and Grogu is now streaming on Disney Plus. What are you waiting for? Hop on. The must-see galactic adventure comes home on Disney Plus. This is the way. Our only chance is to work together. I'm the life this game. Always wear your seatbelt. Star Wars The Mandalorian and Grogu now streaming on Disney Plus. Brave Peachy 13. Yes, the run home is all thanks to Brian's Lawyers, ex-legal advice. We are live from the Union Hotel at North Sydney. There is party pies coming out. Social trials. It is happening here. Early in the show we spoke to Morning Glory host Maddie Johns, Rooster's legend, Luke Rickinson, and the run home quiz, which is always my favourite. And with me is Michael Carrianna. Michael, we've had a great day. Yes, it's been good. I was busy time of year. Was it the Grand Final One today and then Dalyam's last night?

1:03He's today and then... Rick was an impress with lunch today. Have you given him any sort of... I left a bit early to come here. So as the Rooster's players have been introduced to the stage, I had to bow to get here. Okay, well, my mic a bit low there, Brooks. Sorry, because I had to jam that dog's eye. It's now time for this. It's a night's update. Red energy has plans to suit homes right up to big businesses, proud supporters of the Newcastle Knights. I just thought that red energy customer is texting red, along with your red energy customer number, to 0457736736 for your chance to win a double pass to the game on Sunday, New South Wales Residents Only. So you've got to be a red energy customer. And as we know, they're like hens teeth.

2:03You can't really get it. Yeah, difficult to get. And now speaking about hens teeth, he's our man. The great Steve Phil. Phil, be welcome. That's a sour Sydney joke, isn't it? People with no teeth. And you played for sour. Are we forgetting this? You're all in on the Sydney City Roosters. What are they called? Other Easter Saturday's Salary, some brairos. Roosters. Or just roosters. And this bloke played for sour, Slides of Gentlemen. Come on. Yes. There we go. Look at that. That was forced out by the... That happens when you get sacked. Russell Crowe gave you a spec. Bit like you were chilling on him. You got sacked. It did happen. One time. Now, Phil P. Yes. Phil P. Is this you around a 97? You're around a 2001. You call me old. Are you getting the same vibe? Yeah. Well, it's clear. It's clear that's happening, mate. You've seen the footage. People are painting their houses, Brian. If you see that, I'd fall mates paint their houses and they're renting. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. I think they're a bit stupid. I think. Now, P.

3:03I want to say... Did you think at the start of the year that... The third, what day is it today? The first of October. We will be sitting in Grand Final week talking about the 9th. Well, I said... They said that right. A lot of people have said, no one saw this. Like, no one. I'm going to show you and hold on my phone right now. And have a look at that bet that I put on. It's 740. Last year on the Grand Final night. Now, forgive me for it being a $3 bonus bet. Right? That's fine. But who did I have a bet on there, Brian? It says Newcastle Nights. Yep, Jesus. What's all this stuff spilled on there? Yeah, that's it. You borrowed my phone, I'm in to go. Newcastle Nights, it's $61.00. NRL Grand Final in 2026. There we go. Make some noise, ladies and gentlemen. There we go. Right, we got a text, Dunnie. Dunnie loves me. Didn't feel we play for the warm bats. Now, he's a Nights fan. Yeah, well, I did, mate. But I do live in Sydney. I am a... Someone who grew up, went to school in Newcastle. Right. My mum's there. My mum, right. Just to let you know about how passionate Nights fans can be. I was home about maybe... It was about 10 years ago. She said, come in and spare room, right?

4:04She said, I've got something framed. I want to show you. And I was like, oh, this is going to be good. It's going to be like me and my sister. Photo of the family from years ago. It's the Pasha Bolker. Oh, when it... She's got a fub wreck. She's framed a picture of the... She bought... Remember that? We were getting down, because it was during Origin Camp. And Danny Bidaris was giving his updates with the Pasha... We're at Pasha Bolker. It's funny, my wife is from Newcastle. And talks about that moment. Was that the thing that stopped the town? There's a lot of nostalgia. And I think that's what this week's been. It's been a lot of that. It's... It's tricky for me, because I live down here. But my mum, my sister and all my mates, they're all frothing up there. The town has lost its mind. Yeah, like... I want to ask you that. Have they quietened down a little bit? Because we've done anything, but it's gotten... Like it was in O1. I mean, I believe so. I'm doing a gig there tomorrow at the Crosskeys Hotel for free. With Mark Hughes. It's for the Mark Hughes Foundation. And Kurt Gidley. And today, Channel 9 are doing a flyover with the pub. Right? With Blue and Red, like... Is it Chemtrails coming out of the bank there?

5:05You'd be buying it that bit of that. I don't know. I'm not into that. That's a deep fake. They've got a silverture, like not one of the guys. Yeah. That was a bit... Just on that. Yeah. So I'm hearing they almost got them. The Johns boys all over the place. I heard that rumours through this show, bro. Yeah. They almost had them. And now, I'll ask you this right, because I actually found out through this show that they were going to play, that it was pretty much locked in. Who? Silverture? Yeah. Through, like, hearing through Bruxie, Matty, and you guys. And then, I sent it to my notes, Chaggot. Now, it's interesting how towns work, right? So, like, if you want to know stuff about your footy team, like Sais Sydney, you want to know something? Yeah. Through the Wolves. Absolutely. Yeah. Paul Botany. Yeah. So Roosters, like, I know, Roosters. Probably, yeah. Any Pilates class in these suburbs? Haha. Yeah. A full package. What do we talk about with Dragons fans? Like, where are we? George Leakes. Yeah. Or Sisler. Oh, Sisler, what about a good lad? Chris, right? Or the train station there, Rockdale.

6:05Yeah. Bulldogs fans, like, like, like, Bill Moore, the famous cafe. Phone shops, maybe, or, like, you know, just boys. Yeah. Don't like it. Maybe the vape shops. Pretty, yes. Yeah. Broncos. Toilet in the toilet bowl. No, no, no. No, it's new cars. Rees Welsh. No. So, I'll tell you something, right? So, I chucked it into my night's chat group that I found out through this group that, um, Silver Chair might be playing the grand final. And a bloke just died, and it said, Oh, my wife cuts Benghili's hair. Hmm. So, I'll sort this out. Within two seconds, a text comes through with Benghili's phone number on top. From his wife, who's a hairdresser. So, the hairdresser's run new carsel. It says, hey, Ben, do you need your hair cut this week? I've been thinking about you, right? Benghili's right, Spaker says, yeah, all right, sweet. Let's go. So, he comes in, right? And before the press release, yesterday, which we saw where they all said they weren't playing anymore. She said, they're not playing, they're definitely not playing.

7:06And I said, oh, but how do you go about that? Boys, like, if you're, if you get him in, do you just go, are you playing the grand final? Absolutely, just asking him. Or do you sort of go around it like, no, it's what I do every day. Yeah, I'll, like, full package. Will you be in a bit of like, um, you know, how do you like my hair? Yeah, you got a pure massacre. Yeah. But it's like you got free spins, right? So if you do get rolled on Sunday, you're going to be, no, I'm just saying, you're going to be disappointed. But it's, you've gone on this amazing run. Yeah, it's pretty amazing, Plitch. It's, uh, it, it, look, but I don't know. Do you get the feeling that we're not done? Like, you know, how we play with 12, we play with 12, man. There is a sense of destiny. That's what I'm a little bit worried about. Yeah, we play with 12, man. And then I feel like, now Phoenix is out. They're all going, well, you know what, we do it for him. Yeah, we do it for him. It's interesting. I'll start next to a drag queen. Excuse me? At the game. Oh, yeah. Just randomly, Knights drag queen came in after a name.

8:06Was she, um, in a nice character? Yeah, she had, but is she an entertainer? Yeah. Okay. Tim Berliner. Tim Berliner. Yeah, an amazing performer from up in the Newcastle area. Okay. Not really a Nova cash ring name for a drag queen, is it? Yeah. I suggested Madam McDougall. That's good. What about Phoenix Crossdresser? Does that work? Yeah. Yeah, I don't mind that. Yeah. What about Dane Gagel? Yeah. Quite a moment. I think I get taken off here. Yeah, look, where we go. Now, someone's just slipped me something and I have to read this out. I'm sorry, I don't know if the facts has come through there with you. Oh, it's come through. Okay. Is anyone in the audience out here can answer this question? Dear Jared. Oh, here we go. This is for UMC. No. Dear Jared, revenge is sweet. And after my husband cheated on me with the office tart, I'm now sleeping with his golf

9:07coach. He apologised for the fling but made no effort to put more consideration into our marriage and still plays 18 holes of golf twice a week and works long hours. I'm left running the home and looking after our three primary school-aged children as well as working part-time. I used to rage at him for his selfishness and we'd have no end of arguments but now whenever I'm clearing up after him or eating alone with the children, I feel smug. Smug like Luke Rickettson. Instead of feeling resentful, I'm making sure that I also enjoy life and I'm having the best sex with the club pro. Oh, she's. My husband has always been larger than life but I was shocked. His colleague called me out of the blue to announce she'd been having a fling with him. I'm not sure what she was hoping to achieve but needless to say, my husband broke it off with her straightaway. He could get apologise but after the initial drama, everything went back to how it was except on the inside I was broken. I don't think I would normally even notice the golf pro but I was feeling really low when

10:08I dropped our eldest off to the driving range and he was so lovely to me and my son. The next couple of weeks would have a nice catch up and he'd make me laugh. When he asked me if I ever thought about learning something, clicked in me. I needed to start doing things with myself. We started lessons but I'm hopeless so I suggested we meet for a drink instead. We both knew what it meant and we've been sneaking off for midday pub lunches, country drives and sex sessions in his flat ever since. Am I wrong for doing this? I'm not a manager. I'm going to ask you Michael Kerry-Amace. What are you asking? I'm asking. One is the golf pro. What's he doing knowing that he's with his client's wife? That's not nice. That's not the go. How do you handle this? I think they just need to split. Don't get rid of it? Don't both of them. Philp, it was a long story. It was a long story. It was a long story.

11:09I was going to say, I'm going to talk to you. What was happening in some way? I gave it a point. This dude is talking to her. She decided to say, well, I'm going to talk to you. What was the name of the person who sent it? Hashtag Bertie? No. Susan. It is Susan Boyle. Yeah. Don't know. Split's feel. Get rid of it. Yeah. What I would say is for that person, get on Fletcher's Sharp to try 13 bucks, gamble responsibly. Yeah. What about this young kid if he gets on? The diesel? Yeah. You're pushing the diesel? I'm pushing the diesel. Pickle for a bloke to make it debut. Do you know Tommy Can has played maybe seven or eight games in the hooker role? Coming off the bench. Yeah. Three. Correct. That's more than that. It's three. I think Tommy starts. I think Tommy starts. That was the word, circling yesterday. Yeah. Choose day. That might be the way they go.

12:09Okay. Boyle does a nice thing. Where do you think Adam O'Brien is watching this? Oh. Because, you know, he did say that the people of Newcastle don't know their rugby league. That's exactly when he said that. And I was with Mattie. It was on a Sunday night. I remember that. We were watching it and then he just went saying this guy's gone. You can't say that. You can't. What is it about the Newcastle crowd? Yeah. Look, a lot of them, like a lot of rugby league fans potentially don't know rugby league, but you can't tell them. No. I mean, I don't say it to those folks I'm in or of 360. I tell you what. You are. Like who? Like all of you. Do you know Rico before? Yeah, Luke. That boat. So I called Rico Monday when it was Newcastle Rooster's Grand Final. And I'm not lying. This is how he answered the phone. I rang him. Three rings. He answers and he goes, Newcastle. Newcastle. I'm like, you're on the board, Luke. You're on the board. I think you got caught up with all the emotion.

13:09I just got him sacked. That doesn't matter. I love Luke Hours. He's a good guy. He's a good guy. He's one of the good guys. Now everyone's having these beautiful, these pies on saucy rolls. What a pastry is that. There's so much butter in this. Yeah. Emcee. Look how big that. You're watching your way. What do you think? I'm going to say that. I'm going to say that. Emcee. Look how big that. You're watching your way. What do you got dinner on tonight? I don't know what we're doing for dinner tonight. No, okay. Oh, look. He loves it. Coastal loves it. There's big fear. He loves it. Coastal. No name. Coastal, you're a derrick. All right. It's time for this. Sports update. On the run home with Joll and Fletch, it's the sports update. Behind the factories, warehouses and mines that keep Australia moving forward is SCW Eurodrive driving Australia since 1982. The test is straight up. What's happening over there? The AI series, which is captivated all of us. The Aussies win the rain affected game. Indry concerns for Cam Green and Matt Ranch obviously big summer first.

14:10Australia 13 test in six months. For the Aussie side, I actually can't wait for that test series to start. Yes. So am I. You sick of 40, like me? I'm not sick of 40. No. I don't cover any cricket. I just don't. I just don't. I'm not 40. Now, unfortunate, sad news, because I'm a big fan of this gentleman. Chris, he's a fag and he's departs the lines. So he had another year to go and he's contract. But you're going to retire after three after the three-peat? Especially when they played the song. The Wolfie was the wolfie. When they call him into the office to get when he finally just put the song on. Tell me this, why do they call it a three-peat, not a hat trick? Yeah, that's a good point. Although, you know, it flirts your sharp hat trick. $81. Can't be a response to them. G.F. Yeah. He's the same price as Fletcher Hunt. He's not even playing. Maybe they're going to be confused. I do. I do look very similar up there. It's Brian's now looking for a response bet. No, I'm not. I'm talking about the hot mic in Sacramento.

15:11So the Sacramento Kings host an official media day on Monday. And the big takeaways for at least a few reporters in attendance were the Ben Simmons and Zach Lavine are both cringe individuals. Wolfie, I don't know what's going on here. You should put the headphones on. You froth this? You are aware of where Ben Simmons is from. At all. Newie? Yeah, New Castle. Well, yeah, because we got Dr. Chris Brown. As one of the reporters explained that she was working on Simmons earlier interview, she was heard saying he was cringe. He's a good-looking dude. The first reporter said before the second degree by stating, this is hella fine. I didn't notice. His skin is like so smooth. I was like, damn. No tattoos. The attention later turned to Simmons to Lavine when a male reporter asked, what about Zach Lavine? To which one of the females responded saying, he was hella fine. I think his personality annoys this shit out of me, she said. It's cute, but his personality effing annoys me.

16:11It just seems like he's a hella, but she's a like-son hella. Full package. Do you reckon this is like they've got fletch, but the space that the American fletcher's done this interview. Look, you can see it on the screen. Do you ever do that? Have you ever talked about the footy players and their looks? No. Have you ever been caught on a hot mic? No, I haven't. I haven't. It is. Well, when I first started, it was really no such thing as hot mics, but now the websites take live streams of big press conferences, and they'll start the stream before the press conference even starts. So that's what we're all standing around, gibbering, just like talking whatever, so you've got to be careful now. When you're in those press conferences, who is the most prickly coach out of everyone? I know they're all giving up. Well, there's was the worst. There's was the worst. The worst. Just rude. Unnecessarily rude. Like what, what is insults? Yeah, he just thought he was funny, I'm glad he's not in the game anymore. Really? Yeah. It's surprising, because I like this, but maybe because I see him in the different lens. Yeah, no, I just, he just, and it had it worked for a decade, so I don't know why he kept

17:11it going. So you think it was, it was all a charade? I don't know, but it was his personality, but he hadn't had success in a while. Yeah. So I don't know why I just kept trying to turn up with the same sort of style. What about these two coaches, Justin Holbrook and Trent Robinson? Justin Holbrook is genuinely one of the most pleasant individuals. Really? Yeah. Okay. And Robbo, I can listen to Robbo's on. Yeah. I can listen to him talk 40 for hours. Really? But he does have moments of, when he's not in the mood, he can turn up. Yeah. Do, do, does he ever sort of, because he's very hard to get a read on iPhone. He doesn't really say, oh, you could know when he, when he's invested in talking to a topic, there's none better, but you don't get that all the time. All right. Where Justin Holbrook's demeanor doesn't really change. Okay. Yeah, oh, he's done wonders. He's done wonders for him. Well, he's on a serious note, really quickly. The Scotty Jiro Cup in some ways, like a really lovely late. Oh, yeah.

18:11You finish your season? Absolutely. Obviously we lost the great man this year, played for the Knights, has a real connection with and played for the Chilks and Robbo and him as well. Yeah. And that's good. Yeah. It's actually really lovely. That's good. You're great, Moe. The sports up there, those things to, uh, SEW Eurodrive, driving Australia industry since 1982.

Ladies and gentlemen, we've got another guest here. It's our man, Josie, aka the shadow. Another new castle Knights supporter. It's been with us for what, how long? A couple of months. Six weeks. Are we going to have this bet? Yes, let's do it. What do you want to do? Well, all week I've heard you talk smack, right? Yeah. You know, it's all kind of come crashing down. Rooster's 18 plus.

19:11He said that to me, MCS today. Yeah. So, I mean, you can keep down. I think it's 97. Yeah. No one thought we'd be mainly. It was half a comp. It's what? Oh, one. All right. No one thought we'd beat FATSO when he choked, of course. True. And you had it in a mortal. Yeah. And you're choking on mint slices ever since. And this Sunday, it's going to be the same. We're the grand final giant killers. All right. It's destiny. Let's have a bet. Let's have a bet. I don't know what we're going to do. Well, this, it's usual. A bit long. Well, no, no. No, no, no. No, that's a worst bet flat chart. And we're not on the same coin. So let's do something big. I don't know. I don't have a suggestion. But... Wife swap. All right. I don't have a one. It's all right. It's a little idea. I mean, I can go down to the cross and find one. I'll go and see Timberlake. Timberlake. Thank you very much, everyone. We're gone.
