Spoiler! Click here to reveal a hint about filling in the grid.
The phrase “The time is 8:59 or ...” is intended as a hint as to how to fill in the grid.The time 8:59 can be read as 1 minute to 9 (or 1 to 9) meaning that the grid should be filled with all the numbers 1, 2, 3, ..., 9 using each number exactly once.
With this condition, there is only one way to correctly fill in the grid.

I think I solved it but I don't get it...
Solved.
Spoiler
First I thought this would literally be just multiplication and fill in the numbers. Then I came up with a solution that sated the equations but with duplicate numbers and that didn't get me far.
Then the 8:59 spoiler revealed that each number should be unique 1 to 9, in which the only correct solution is supposedly this:
2 9 7
3 8 5
6 1 4
Now replace these digits with letters of the alphabet like a common cipher:
123456789
abcdefghi
Solution: "big chef ad"
b i g
c h e
f a d
