a Great Name talks about his new book, King of.

rather angry Carton.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
Fan Russell Crowe is turning up with Henry Cavill again

Speaker 2 (00:27):
Exciting. Akkadaka have officially announced their first tour and a
decade and their coming to Perth.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
And we found out who's got Perth's best uber ratings.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Let's talks for with an Adrian Barrage.
Speaker 4 (00:38):
When you've got to get work, You've got to get
into work Blobber. Their eight trade stores are everywhere, so
when you need it you can get it or check
out work clobber dot com dot Atu Barah.
Speaker 5 (00:48):
Good morning, morning morning, a busy weekend for you.
Speaker 6 (00:52):
Oh yeah, clzy, big weekend, big night, actually big night overnight.
I'm bleary eyed because I got up early. But two
big things happened in fact, I'm thunderstruck. Ac DC's bringing
the noise and Mini lee, she's bringing the silverware. Perth
is on fire. The girl from MLC Corpus Christie had
a bit of a tiger mum because we all know
(01:15):
if you do ten thousand hours of practice you become
a world champion at anything, and basically.
Speaker 7 (01:19):
At Melville Glades and Royal Frio.
Speaker 6 (01:22):
She did that with her work with her brother, of course,
and she's now become just the fourth Australian after Jan Stevenson,
Curry Webb and Peter Thompson to win three golf majors.
Speaker 5 (01:33):
So it's huge, it's amazing.
Speaker 6 (01:34):
She's won the Women's PGA. Just happened. She's gone past
the great White Shark. Shark for her only one too majors.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
He got close a couple of times, did he did?
Speaker 7 (01:45):
Choke a few times?
Speaker 5 (01:46):
Tears on the beach.
Speaker 6 (01:48):
It's horrible at the Masters that time and collapsed to
his knees. The Great Man. Yes, a lot happening in Perth.
So obviously, and obviously we lost Jeremy McGovern when we
lost him, he got tired medically for medical reasons for concussion.
The Great Man, did you know though, in the modern era,
so since we've had eighteen teams, which is from twenty twelve,
(02:11):
no one has taken more intercept marks than Jeremy McGovern.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Is a man in the spot six hundred and fifty four.
Speaker 6 (02:17):
It was so I reckon he's the best tool defender
of the modern era. And when the Eagles picked their
best ever team, is he at C and a half back?
Is Jakovic at and a half back? You know Who's
where does he sit in the top ten? I've probably
got him about six or seven of them in their
best ever player. So and he retires not just a
champion lease but also a symbol of change. And I'm
(02:39):
being serious for one second, not very serious on this segment,
but he reminds us that, you know, true courage is
not only about playing through pain, but nowadays knowing when
to step away, when to protect your future.
Speaker 7 (02:55):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 6 (02:56):
He's done it for his family three he's thirty three.
They've said, look should step away, and he's gone. You
know what, You're right, I'll do that.
Speaker 5 (03:02):
A lot of people wouldn't have that.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
Would I want that last three games or what the
last three games?
Speaker 7 (03:07):
Undred exactly?
Speaker 5 (03:08):
So, yeah, good on you, Jeremy class.
Speaker 6 (03:10):
Because I believe it's a step change actually from what's
been going on. Everyone's accepting now because in my ear,
if you didn't go back on after getting knocked out,
you're a week you're big softy.
Speaker 7 (03:20):
You know, people had to go if you could remember
you name? What's your name? Bar right back on?
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Sweet some more damage?
Speaker 7 (03:26):
Which way are we kicking?
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Where am I.
Speaker 7 (03:32):
Close enough?
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Close enough?
Speaker 7 (03:36):
Those are the days.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
I believe that fingers coventy fingures eleven.
Speaker 7 (03:40):
It did affect May at all. Hey, listen, I believe,
and I believe. I believe.
Speaker 6 (03:44):
The Eagles are out celebrating too. So Wembley Hotel. Can
you imagine Harley at Wembley? Yeah, that's what the bombers
were there too. And then apparently the vaults the place
to go if you're cool.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
I was the vault.
Speaker 7 (04:01):
Do you know the vault? Okay, I'm not cool?
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Idea And it's in north Bridge, it's not Wembley as
well as vault.
Speaker 7 (04:08):
We're heading to the vault. It's the new rumors. Anyway.
Speaker 6 (04:17):
Their party is going to stop soon because they played
Collingwood on Saturday. That's one versus Adeen. Good luck against
Nick Dakos, who's absolutely on fire the Brownlow.
Speaker 7 (04:29):
If Caleb doesn't win it, Caleb's are wrong.
Speaker 6 (04:31):
Maybe so if you like to speculate, the Eagles are
twelve to one to win against the piss two races.
Speaker 7 (04:38):
Oh this is good.
Speaker 6 (04:39):
Now before I go out in must break, I got
to mention Carlton horrible losing the North Melbourne. You know,
one of the bottom teams ending their final series. Blues
fans ropable absolutely off their heads about what's going on
with VOSSI and none more than this fella Clary his handles,
his name is Snapper.
Speaker 7 (04:59):
And he rang three w and Melbourne straight after the
Match's what he had to say.
Speaker 8 (05:02):
That game style today was disgusting, chipping it around like
with ten goals up and it's about time. Members of
Waking Up. I called these in twenty twenty three. We
are a joke. I rarely leave the game early, in
fact never. We walked down a three quite a time
and that says it all. Peace off, boss, get out now,
(05:23):
wow oh my god.
Speaker 7 (05:25):
Anyway, then sat snappy as snappy and then ten minutes
later have a listener to this bloog bobbing up on
sen The players don't care.
Speaker 9 (05:34):
That is the right back side. They don't want to chase,
they don't want to play.
Speaker 10 (05:38):
Gave Ashley Hanson before the game, saying that no one
in the club listens to outside noise. Maybe you should,
Maybe you should if you're not gonna play, I said
it a few weeks a coach.
Speaker 9 (05:51):
You're not gonna play for the coach. Play for people
like myself. Wit buss foot balls every week they get there.
Had hurt money, especially the emblem.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
He was going around the ground. Be passionate.
Speaker 7 (06:16):
He just started. He was ringing every station, play for
the emblem.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
The emblem.
Speaker 7 (06:20):
I never heard that one.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Very passionate anyway.
Speaker 6 (06:22):
Now the Dockers, the Dockers, and then there were nine
years and Kilda next up at home on Sunday.
Speaker 7 (06:29):
And another home games.
Speaker 5 (06:30):
Just how many games are ready to go?
Speaker 7 (06:32):
That's no, that's how many?
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Yeah there is.
Speaker 6 (06:34):
Actually, you're right, there's nine that can win it. There's
nine teams still in it. So Spots, let's hope they
get over the top of ross line. Their old coach,
the wily old coach. You've come out with something, no doubt.
So Collingwood, Brisbane, Geelong, Adelaide Hawthorne, Freemantle, Giants, Bulldogs and
the Sons who are now ninth. They they're the nine
teams that can win it into eight spots. I guess
(06:58):
the Sons have only played thirteen games and the rest
have played fourteen or fifteen.
Speaker 7 (07:02):
So it's very doat like a Thory Gun.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Be upset with that loss of the Giants because the
Giants came Steck weekend.
Speaker 7 (07:11):
Mate, so we'll knock the Suns out of the eight.
Speaker 6 (07:13):
So now I check this out, you guys, So no
problems for the West Coast fever record equaling nine straight
wins I've had after defeating the Thunderbirds at rac Ran
a huge, big green crowd, and I checked out. You
know how we're talking about the hotness levels. So they're
blue hot because apparently apparently in hotness terms it goes red, orange, yellow,
(07:36):
then white chili scale and then blue blue is the
hottest glue.
Speaker 5 (07:42):
Blue hot. I've never had anyone describe anyone as blue hot.
Speaker 6 (07:45):
It sounds stupid, that's why, because there's no green hot,
so they're blue hot. They're on fire. So well done
to the fever. It's a lot happening in per the
British and Irish Lions just arrived last night at seven o'clock,
so that's the famous rugby team. They're playing the Force
on the weekend. They have a Welcome the Country in
King's Park at twelve thirty if you want to go,
then Cottslow Beach Club at four thirty. And they'll be
(08:07):
training at Hale School Wednesdays and on Friday, so the
rugby people will know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
That will get a crowded anywhere they go.
Speaker 6 (08:15):
Oh yeah, Earth and Matilda's and the Matilda's arrived as well,
so they're training at Sam Curve Football Center in Queens
Park at three point thirty.
Speaker 5 (08:25):
Is that actually what it's called?
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Yes, sign is actually And.
Speaker 7 (08:30):
I think the Great Woman will be here soon too.
She's flying.
Speaker 6 (08:34):
Yeah, Sam's coming over to so whether she's there today
or tomorrow, I believe she's coming this week. So the
Matilda's are playing three games in Wa, two at HbF
Park and one in Bunbury and at the New Hands
over the AFL.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Enough I have a bit of sport down man.
Speaker 6 (08:50):
We are on fire and I'm just so very excited
about December four at Opta Stadium.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
You are.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
That night you might be blue hot.
Speaker 7 (09:00):
Be so excited to will be blue hot. Probably hope
it doesn't go blue.
Speaker 3 (09:08):

Tour Power Up Down Under? Are they going to be

Speaker 5 (09:35):
Shirt true So Opta Stadium, December four. It is a
Thursday night.
Speaker 3 (09:44):

I went on one of these early access you know

Yeah, ac DC Live, I reckon. I've seen them five
or six or seven times, lost count over the years.
Speaker 5 (10:44):
The last time was November twenty fifteen.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
I was there at cub Oval. Since then, I mean,
you Cliff the bass players left, and you've got Chris Cheney,
who's not the living Ends Chris Chaney, it's the guy
played based for Jane's addiction playing in the band, and
the new drummer as well in Matt. Look. So you've
got a couple of young bloke's coming into the fray
and I think it's going to be hitting it.
Speaker 5 (11:03):
In the family though, of course, pretty amazing.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Yeah, I think it's really cool Ivank Stevie to be
young out there as well. Since we lost Malcolm the Man.
It was Malcolm's band, let's be honest, and Angus was
the incredible showman who still does its seventy years of age. Yes, yeah,
I can't wait for this.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
Ammel and the Sniffers will be the support act. They
cleaned up at the Arias the last Arias and I
saw them on one of the American late night shows
and they loved them. I think it might have been Kimmel,
Jimmy Kimmel's show, right. Oh, the audience went nuts for them,
love it, Amal and the sniffers, and so.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
You get quickly known, get on an American late night show.

Speaker 1 (11:54):
More crazy, more podcasts soon.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
The award winning w Way, author of Invisible Boys, which
became a hit series for Stan, has a new book out,
King of Dirt, and that author and owner of one
of the best writing show is names I've ever heard,
Holden Shepherd, is with this now.
Speaker 12 (12:10):
Good morning, good morning, thanks for having me.
Speaker 5 (12:13):
Like Holden Shepherd, you had to be destined for greatness.
Speaker 12 (12:15):
I was either going to be yeah, supercar driver or
something cool.
Speaker 5 (12:20):
I reckon, don't tell me that dad was a Holden man.
Speaker 12 (12:22):
I mean how to that was a yeah, yeah, you
had to be Yes, you could have been brock Look,
I could have look I've missed out on a lot
of opportunities here, I drive drive as fast as that.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Oh do you wow?
Speaker 12 (12:34):
Probably wouldn't say that, King of Dirt.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
And look, I've read Brink, I've seen Invisible Boys. They're
classified as YA and this is your first adults story
and boy, yes, yes, I'm reading it.
Speaker 5 (12:50):
And I'm like, who's looking at what I'm reading? It's
pretty raunchy, holders, pretty full on it. It's pretty full on.
Speaker 12 (12:59):
Yeah, I've had a lot of messages. There's a particular chapter,
the Leaf chapter, where getting a lot of messages. The
content of that chapter a good way. People are enjoying it.
They're like, I don't know you could do that the book,
and I'm like, yeah, you can.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Because we grew up with you know, sometimes awkward moments
when mum or dad would be in the room watching
something on TV. It was like, this is different. You
can you can write this.
Speaker 12 (13:19):
In a book. It's a bit easier because there's no
one sitting next to you watching it, right, But having
Invisible Boys on TV was a little bit it was
a little bit cringe to watch that with family members.
You please remember, this is not me, this is a character.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
Now you're from Geralton, and it seems the town has
influenced your storytelling.
Speaker 12 (13:38):
Yeah, I'm proud Gero boy. I left a long time ago,
but I kind of always wish i'd stayed. A country
boy in a way, I always felt like I belong there.
I liked who I was there, and I liked working there.
So I actually went back when they were filming Invisible
Boys up on location in Drum and that's where King
of Dirt actually came from. I was sitting there and
having this big nostalgia moment of like, what would have
happened if I'd stayed here, if I kept working in
earth moving and got married to a good jeror Italian girl,
(14:02):
which is, you know what whatever unexpected? Yeah, yeah, we
would took out that way. It didn't work out that way,
but it's like a little sliding doors thing. So the
King of Dirt was born. And Jack Brollow is that
kind of sliding doors version of me.
Speaker 7 (14:13):
Probably.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
I'm not from Geraldton, but my my sister and her
family have lived there for close to thirty years now,
so I get up there a lot. And we all
gathered to watch Invisible Boys because my niece's husband was
going to be in the opening the opening scene, he's
driving the forklift in a kidding at the poor It's Jason,
my niece's husband, and we're like, there's the forklift.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Where are you Jackson hitting a cart?
Speaker 8 (14:38):
Yeah?
Speaker 11 (14:39):
Do you know what?
Speaker 12 (14:39):
He never made it. If he feels better, he's in
good company. My cameo got cutters.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
I did. I'm raging, did you know though, because there's
nothing worse than beaving at a preview and not knowing.
Speaker 8 (14:48):
No.
Speaker 12 (14:49):
I sat there and watching and I was like, here
I am any second there an disipation and then I'm gone.
Speaker 5 (14:54):
But I think I have met you have Jason, because
she presented him with an award.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
Yeah, I was.
Speaker 12 (15:00):
I went up to Guerro and the jar Reports Ports
whatever they call. They're like, come down to our stuff barbecue,
and yeah they give us. Give these guys I think
are two blocks Report who were extras in the show.
Speaker 5 (15:11):
Yes, he did get best forklift Driver.
Speaker 12 (15:13):
Yeah, yeah, he got this little like little fake oscar Sta.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (15:19):
It was a big moment. Yeah, it's a very big
moment at least.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
And I get contacted by people we've known from our
past about what we did in radio. But you must
get that a lot now with people from school days
and the like.
Speaker 12 (15:28):
I've just had it. So I've just come back from
the East Coast tour for King of Dirt and in Melbourne,
and this is what I'm so weary now about anything
I say in front of an audience, because you never
know who's in the audience. So I was talking about
like past girlfriends at high school whatever. Yeah, let's look
at this woman in the audience. I was like, God,
she looks familiar. She was my first girlfriend from Jero. No,
she came along and she's like studying technology now and
(15:50):
she's gonna work for NASA. I was like, Okay, didn't
expect this. Wow, So yeah, you gotta be careful. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
I can never anyone yeah yeah.
Speaker 9 (16:00):
Yeah yeah.
Speaker 12 (16:00):
I thought Jero was a small town, but you go
to Melbourne and it's like, oh, there's Jero still.
Speaker 13 (16:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
It features so prominently on every page of King of Dirt,
you know, from the Bendy Trees to the AREU Team
Brand Highway.
Speaker 5 (16:13):
Or Indian Ocean Road.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
I've moved to Brand Highway by the way because you know,
when it was closed for a while, I found I
could do one hundred and ten from ellen Brook so
much better.
Speaker 12 (16:24):
I live in Butler, right, And when Indionation drive, I
was like, yeah, to go to Jerro and it's like
not go one hundred the whole weather Lands actuweet.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
This is great. Thanks frustrated.
Speaker 12 (16:34):
It's the most frustrated road in the world.
Speaker 5 (16:36):
At least you have the choice.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
So writing, as we said, it's pretty raunchy. It is
a fairly erotic book.
Speaker 5 (16:44):
Is that hard to rush?
Speaker 3 (16:47):
It's it's just do you ever blush your own Like,
I can't believe I'm putting this on a page.
Speaker 12 (16:53):
No, I actually really enjoy it. And it was really
freeing to to have worked in the YA space for
a little while. And even though it's my books have
kind of idiot grown up but that were still kind
of pitched partly adults but partly at fifteen to eighteen,
so you couldn't kind of go too far with it.
And this one was like, you're off the lead, do
what you want. Yeah, and I could just really write.
I felt that hot stuff.
Speaker 5 (17:15):
Reading, I felt that coming through. I'm really happy, as
pretty full on as it is.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
Speaking of Invisible Boys, there is I believe a season
two TBC.
Speaker 12 (17:26):
Yeah, okay, but there is a second book.
Speaker 5 (17:29):
Oh well, there you go.
Speaker 12 (17:30):
So that's that's definitely confirmed. So I've written a book
called Yeah the Boys, which is yeah the Boys. Yeah,
the Boys. It's hard to say it any other way.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Yeah, you just gonna say, yeah the Boys.
Speaker 12 (17:40):
Absolutely, but it brings it brings all the first three
books together, so the Brink Invisible Boys, they all have
like a big crossover, calling it into the Shepherd verse.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
Yeah, a bit of a Shepherd verse mentioned in King
of Dirt. The island that doesn't actually exist, Well, yes, that's.
Speaker 12 (17:58):
Fictional islands, a little an easter egg in there. It's
kind of a fictional wedge island. But I just don't
want to kind of absolutely actually wed because then.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
But yeah, The Boys sounds like something you hear at
footy grounds with five minutes to play all around Australia.
Speaker 12 (18:13):
Yeah, and that's the thing. And actually, I mean that's
what kind of King of do it is. It's a
blokey book. It's as much as it's a hot book.
It's a blokey book and it's about it's about men's
mental health. So yeah, The Boys is about the boys,
it's about men. It's about men's mental health. And it's
about footy culture. Actually, it's kind of a celebration of
all of it.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
It's very timely, really and ties in masculinity, sexuality, and
mental health so beautifully.
Speaker 5 (18:36):
And it's how important is it to you that that
is discussed as much as possible.
Speaker 12 (18:40):
Incredibly important. Yeah, at the moment, there's so much in
this space, but there always has been. And I'm someone
who had incredibly bad mental health as a teenager. I
still have to manage my mental health, you know, like
it's not something that goes away.
Speaker 5 (18:53):
I think life, Yeah, it's full.
Speaker 10 (18:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 12 (18:55):
When I talked about Invisible Boys and my experience as
a teenager, people seem to think like, oh, so you
were really and now you're all good, And I was like, no,
I'm not all good, but don't say that about me.
So with keing of Dirt, I'm showing Jack and he's
got a lot of issues. You know, he's got addiction
issues and he's got mental health issues, and that comes
from me. I want to talk about this stuff and
throw myself into those conversations because I have mates who
(19:16):
haven't made it. I know lots of guys who struggle
and just don't reach out and I did reach out
and it probably.
Speaker 7 (19:21):
Saved my life.
Speaker 12 (19:22):
When I was nineteen, I reached out to across this
line and I'm like, Okay, I know this helps, and
I know this sase lives, and I want more blokes
to do that because it doesn't feel weak. I never
felt weak when I did that. I felt stronger for it.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
Silence.
Speaker 12 (19:35):
Yeah, I wasn't just going, oh that life is hard.
Speaker 7 (19:38):
Life is hard.
Speaker 12 (19:38):
Let me numb myself with drinking all the time, which
is what I mean. I did did that for a
little bit, but it was like, let me try to
help myself, let me try to take charge of my
life and get better. And it felt tougher and stronger
to actually reach out and talk to a counselor. And
it did to just suffer in silence.
Speaker 5 (19:51):
And so is there are a lot of you in Jack,
there is a lot of me in chat.
Speaker 9 (19:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 12 (19:55):
Yeah, he's pretty much man. I mean, he goes for Collingwood,
he's got a problem with betting out.
Speaker 5 (19:59):
Loves this year whatever that car is the Phantom. He
loves this book.
Speaker 12 (20:04):
And I'm going to be honest, you know my V
eight is also called phantom. Yeah, very thin, veneer of fiction.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
This book.
Speaker 12 (20:12):
The thing I do have to really be careful of
saying is that, you know, Jack's family are horrible and
they're not my family.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Yeah, what about support? And it obviously supports lovely from readers.
They're paying their good, hard money to buy the books
in that, but also when you get funding and the
like you're standing on a stage with Nichola Forest and
mindaud you know, giving you accolades, that must be wonderful.
Supporting the creatives.
Speaker 12 (20:35):
It is. It's really cool to get organizations, philanthropic organizations
kind of funding the arts. So I got a grant
from Mindaru and then I won that award as a
subsequent thing. Right, So the grant was twenty five grand,
the award was fifty grand. That was early this year.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
This is all for yeah, the boys.
Speaker 12 (20:50):
Before I was doing that, I was laboring the timber
yard because I was like, I have no other way
to supplement my income. Writing is a really hard thing
to make a full time living out of in Australia. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
it's just not big enough.
Speaker 7 (21:01):
Book.
Speaker 12 (21:03):
So I was just lifting bundles of wood and packing
them for bunnings and then writing books in my spare
time around it, and I just thought, this is so slow,
like I'm not going to get my career anywhere if
I do this. So I went and went for a
grant and Mindaru, thanks to thank you to Nicola Forest.
Thanks to the forest, they gave me a grant for
this book and they thought, yeah, this could really work.
And it's just landed a deal so it'll be out
next year.
Speaker 3 (21:24):
So yeah, well, it's so good to see you have
success with writing, because I mean, I'm a big reader.
Speaker 5 (21:30):
I love to read. It's my favorite hobby.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
And I'd say all of my favorite writers at the
moment are Australian writers and West Australian writers too, so
and it's so exciting to read stories that you identify
places with, you know, whether it's the bendy trees on
the drive into Gerald and everything. So please keep them
coming and thank you. Thank you for King of Dirt,
thank you for coming in today.
Speaker 12 (21:50):
Thank you. I really appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
Thanks good to see mate, and no word of a lie.
Lisa walked enough to started reading this one and she
looked at me, Holden Shepherd.
Speaker 12 (22:00):
Kid, you know that is that's the reaction I want.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
I got what I thanks man, are you doing the
same thing as me warming your hands up over there.
Speaker 5 (22:09):
This is ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
We get a fireplace set up.
Speaker 5 (22:12):
Pippen must be down with the scarlet fever again because
the boiler is on the blink again.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
In other words, our building is cold.
Speaker 5 (22:22):
Our building is so cold it is. Who were with
us last year?
Speaker 3 (22:28):
Remember us coming on at this time, the old boiler
lamenting the meat. Yeah, because the boiler was broken for
all of winter last year. Apparently they fixed it, but
it's already it seems to be not working.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
If it's a lot warmer where you are this morning,
it's sold.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
My legs were aching out there, nose was dripping. We
might as well have been in.
Speaker 5 (22:50):
The car park.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
I reckon, I saw Fagan downstairs. I don't think it's
Pip and I think it's Fagan. More please, more heat.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
More crazy, more podcasts soon.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
My super sensory wife said to me on the weekend.
At one day early on the weekend, she said, what's
that smell? No, here we go, I got to find something.
And her senses, you said, your mum. Your mum's like this,
incredible senses, like a cat.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
She knew when I'd been smoking. Of course she did
from a suburb away.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
Were you're doing spraying that spray in your mouth like
good tooth brushed down? What I Wasn't they just know,
don't they? So Laurie's senses are so cute. I remember
when we lived in Dunk Craig. She for one one day,
she said, for about five nights in a row, she said,
I can hear running water And I said, oh, that
could be a kilometer away, knowing you're hearing. Yeah, sure,
(23:39):
And our five days later idiot goes at the back
and we've got a burst pipe out in the backyard,
like we're talking twenty meters away from our bed.
Speaker 5 (23:46):
She could hear it underneath the ground before it even happens.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
I reckon, So bizarre, so bizarre. So now it's the
sense of smell is very cute, right, So what's that smell?
So I started going through the areas of the house,
and normally it's wet areas you will get the smells.
So I started off with the started up with bathroom
and quite often it's easily sorted if it's a drain.
But it wasn't the drain. It came from the drain,
it wasn't there. So then I tried the hair out
(24:11):
of the train. Let the ring that came out of
the TV, didn't it. Then I tried the toilet, a
couple of toilets at our place. It was not hard.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
What does that involve sticking your head right out practically
into the bowl, having a big old house sniff.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
I told you it was, mister sniffy. It's not hard
to locate a smell and a toilet. That's funny nickname.
It's even easier to find the perpetrator at my place.
But on this occasion, the smell was not from the
toilet or from this perpetrator. Okay, So then we go
to the kitchen. Kitchen's eggs. You're going to go the
wet areas. We go to the kitchen, so you checked
the bin. The bins were fine and giving them a clean. Yeah,
(24:48):
as far as bin's going anyway. The fridge was okay,
we're things like our work fridge in there.
Speaker 5 (24:53):
And the sink because that train also can get a bit, the.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Sink was a bit sniffy. Yeah, the pantry was okay. Last,
and there was only one spot left in the kitchen
to check, and it wasn't the dish washer. It was
one cupboard where the cat food gets kept. We've gone.
Actually does smell a little bit dry food. We have
these dying wet food packs right in our cupboard. Okay,
(25:17):
so Laurie instead of me looking, Laurie's going for a look.
You're on, Yeah, what's that smell? I said, well, it
is where the cat food is, but they're in closed packets,
right However, she pulled out the box which had ten
packets in it. Yes, yeah, you prepared, and are you
not any breakfast today? Come on now, I reckon one
packet I know, but I have to tell the story, right,
(25:39):
I reckon one packet had a split in it, and
a whole extended family of cockroaches has decided to make
their way into that cupboard. I'm talking. I reckon at
least eighty baby cockroaches were all over this box. I'm
thinking that extended family. That's a big Christmas table required
for that family. They were everywhere, and Laurie has freaked out.
(26:00):
Imagine the blood curdling scream I heard.
Speaker 5 (26:02):
But it was the it was the split cat food.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
I recoonne the smell. That was the smell. So the
smell of the cat food and whatever you.
Speaker 3 (26:09):
Could have finished the story with that, we didn't have
to delve into eighty baby cockroach territory.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
I had to mention the cockroaches. They probably helped split
the bag open even wider because they were determined to
eat it. So I've instantly, after hearing the bud curdling scream,
I've grabbed the box straight in the plastic rubbish bag,
unloaded up whole can I should have I should have
Molotov cocktail. That the whole can of spray in there
sealed the bag straight out to the outside. beIN forgotten. Yeah,
I'm not forgotten by Laurie. Yeah, so the rules at
(26:36):
our place now, Angel the cat gets hungry, she has
to go to cafes or restaurants. No food being brought home.
Speaker 5 (26:42):
Sorry, now I'm just opening up my Uber account. Okay,
see what my rating is? Four point seven eight? What
did I do to lose the point.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
Two four point seven eight? Already I can't find mine?
Do you want to have a look for me?
Speaker 5 (26:59):
I just don't know whether under account.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
A we're located four point nine six. What four point
ninety six?
Speaker 5 (27:06):
Why is you're so high?
Speaker 2 (27:07):
Because I only use it for because I go out
and drink much, so I only usebers for airport runs
from Southee.
Speaker 5 (27:15):
I might only be going one suburb.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
You down. That's why you lost your point two too.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
The reason we are we are doing this is because
during the show on Friday, there was an Uber ad
came on talking about ratings and it got us talking
off air about our ratings, and the Susie producers and
Liz were also having the exact same conversation outside of
the studio. Yours is what four point four point eighth
(27:40):
Susie's four point eight? I'm the loser of the no
hanging on I'm not actually, because Liz is under a
four point five, and apparently anything under a four point
five is bad. Drivers will think twice about it about.
Speaker 5 (27:53):
Picking you up.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
Okay, why but why would There's nothing wrong with Liz.
Why would she be under four point five?
Speaker 2 (28:02):
There might have been something happened on a particular occasion.
Speaker 5 (28:04):
Maybe he said go that way, now I've changed my mind,
go back.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
Can we pick up my friends on the way, or
wouldn't talk to them or something? Guessing what you did
to lose half of a point?
Speaker 3 (28:15):
I had a very chatty uber driver that night at
Pinocchio's yes, going home.
Speaker 5 (28:20):
But I chatted away, So I don't see why I'm a.
Speaker 3 (28:23):
Four point seven eight. I should be a four point
eight eight at least know what's going on all right?
Speaker 1 (28:27):
Now?
Speaker 5 (28:27):
What we want to talk about. Has anyone got five stars?
Has anyone a five?
Speaker 2 (28:31):
Has anyone got the perfect scores?
Speaker 5 (28:33):
So we could sit there in the end at this stage,
what were you four point.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
Four point nine six?
Speaker 3 (28:37):
Okay, so top that four point ninety six is the
is the number to top? Also, we'd like to know
if you ruined your uber raging and how you did it?
What did you do it?
Speaker 5 (28:49):
Anyway? Like, not only who's got the top one, who's
got the lowest one?
Speaker 2 (28:53):
How little did you have to do to get your
rating down?
Speaker 14 (28:55):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (28:56):
No, it might have just been anyone got like a
three or something.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
Oh God, they want to pick you'll be taking the bus.
I think you'd be walking.
Speaker 14 (29:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
I love to hear him this.
Speaker 5 (29:04):
Morning, Aaron im Pinjaro, good morning. Am I to believe
you're a five star?
Speaker 8 (29:10):
No?
Speaker 15 (29:11):
I am a five star?
Speaker 2 (29:13):
Tolf of the clothes.
Speaker 3 (29:14):
Have any idea what make what has you know caused
you to get this perfect score?
Speaker 15 (29:21):
Well, bear in mind that I don't live in the
city anymore. I don't hit it very often, but when
I do enough usually to go from my mechanics to Ikea,
and it's such a like barren on Scoveried Road, so
it's not very far. But I always tip. It's a
short trip and they seem to love it.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
Okay, always tip on the tip. That's the case, because
I started to think, here and maybe you take them
a bottle of.
Speaker 5 (29:46):
Water, and what if you're taking them out for lunch.
Speaker 15 (29:49):
I don't drink the water. Used to be an O
driver many years ago. Okay, well, yeah, care And I
actually got downstarted by lovely young ladies one day because
they threw up in my car. So they threw up
in my car and I got downstairs and I would
(30:10):
yeah that's what.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
You didn't surprise, sick bags? What was going on there?
Speaker 3 (30:14):
Wow?
Speaker 15 (30:16):
Yeah, they've been drinking Red Warne too.
Speaker 12 (30:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 15 (30:21):
Yeah, my lovely issuv. So there were three of them.
Speaker 3 (30:25):
Congratulations on your five stars. You're the first five star
I've ever aunted.
Speaker 5 (30:31):
Thanks eron.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
That was the magic word. Short trip.
Speaker 5 (30:34):
Always always tip even rhymes now John and como. John
is an uber driver out to John.
Speaker 13 (30:42):
Yes, I am tell us what.
Speaker 3 (30:45):
Would make you drop someone's rating or indeed increase it.
How do I get my four point seven eight up
to five?
Speaker 13 (30:55):
Well, that really depends on what you're saying on the driver.
The system is space to work is to give someone
a five unless they do something in your carlation, so
like a sort of give you some of the pan
raper short rights, not on.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
It's just not what you do.
Speaker 13 (31:13):
Basically, if I went downstairs someone and I get this
a little bit because of the hours I work. People
getting in my car eating, Yeah, some people just get
in the car. I don't even ask you.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
Yeah yeah, yeah do that.
Speaker 8 (31:33):
Other things?
Speaker 13 (31:34):
You keep me waiting too long out front of your house.
I don't do that, No, but people do do that.
And I sat in front of people's houses for four
or five minutes.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
And they get franky. If you canceled that, I'm very punctual.
Speaker 12 (31:49):
I don't know why.
Speaker 8 (31:52):
That's good.
Speaker 5 (31:53):
My conversation must suck.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
Good on you, John, Thanks for your words of wisdom, John.
Speaker 3 (32:04):
John does does a does a longer trip like Clasy
going all the way to the airport?
Speaker 5 (32:09):
Does that raise the rating at all?
Speaker 10 (32:13):
Raise the rating?
Speaker 14 (32:14):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (32:14):
Okay, it might stop if from getting knocked.
Speaker 3 (32:18):
Down yet that because that theory works the other way
with me. I will give anyone a five unless they've
done something that really annoys me. And if they've done
something that really annoys me, I just ignore the rating.
You know, thing you're not completely Yeah, yeah, okay, John, John,
I'll work on it on everything.
Speaker 5 (32:38):
I don't know what, because I'm already doing all that.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
You don't mention that you're backs birth or something.
Speaker 9 (32:42):
I don't.
Speaker 5 (32:43):
I talked to them about Archie, do that down. I
don't care you waiting. I'm out the front, ready to go.
They don't even have to fully stop.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
But with the rod chairs, you don't want to take
that risk of them canceling on you, because it can
happen if you make them work for ninety seconds.
Speaker 5 (32:57):
All right, at gotta text gott to four point nine one.
But I didn't leave their name. But a four point
nine one is very good.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
That's not bad, is it? It's pretty good David.
Speaker 8 (33:09):
For us.
Speaker 11 (33:09):
So look, I don't even know this thing had a
rating until you guys spoke about it. It's already blown
me out of the water. Sold I actually deleted that
two days ago, trying to clean up the storage on
the Yeah, so yeah, I installed it and figured out
where it was located.
Speaker 14 (33:29):
Oh, I got five stars. Trust be told, though I've
only ever used it to go from home to the doctor,
the doctor and back, and I have had some very passionate,
very colorful conversations with some mover drivers.
Speaker 9 (33:45):
But again, you know, I never thought about the rating.
Speaker 14 (33:48):
Never never someone there you go five stars.
Speaker 3 (33:51):
Clearly they enjoyed your conversation. Yeah, thanks, David, had a great.
Speaker 1 (33:59):

Bianca said, sorry, are still look thing?
Speaker 5 (35:26):

Necklaces we used to get as kids and you could eat.
She's wearing a bikini made out of those. She's wearing
an edible bikini.
Speaker 5 (35:45):
What is wrong with this woman?
Speaker 3 (35:46):
She's not at the beach, She's walking around New York
and you know what, it's not. It's it's twenty twenty five.
It's not even that shocking.
Speaker 2 (35:54):
Yeah, you're right, it's kind of surely.
Speaker 5 (35:56):
It's mildly embarrassing.

Speaker 2 (00:27):
Exciting. Akkadaka have officially announced their first tour and a
decade and their coming to Perth.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
And we found out who's got Perth's best uber ratings.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Let's talks for with an Adrian Barrage.
Speaker 4 (00:38):
When you've got to get work, You've got to get
into work Blobber. Their eight trade stores are everywhere, so
when you need it you can get it or check
out work clobber dot com dot Atu Barah.
Speaker 5 (00:48):
Good morning, morning morning, a busy weekend for you.
Speaker 6 (00:52):
Oh yeah, clzy, big weekend, big night, actually big night overnight.
I'm bleary eyed because I got up early. But two
big things happened in fact, I'm thunderstruck. Ac DC's bringing
the noise and Mini lee, she's bringing the silverware. Perth
is on fire. The girl from MLC Corpus Christie had
a bit of a tiger mum because we all know
(01:15):
if you do ten thousand hours of practice you become
a world champion at anything, and basically.
Speaker 7 (01:19):
At Melville Glades and Royal Frio.
Speaker 6 (01:22):
She did that with her work with her brother, of course,
and she's now become just the fourth Australian after Jan Stevenson,
Curry Webb and Peter Thompson to win three golf majors.
Speaker 5 (01:33):
So it's huge, it's amazing.
Speaker 6 (01:34):
She's won the Women's PGA. Just happened. She's gone past
the great White Shark. Shark for her only one too majors.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
He got close a couple of times, did he did?
Speaker 7 (01:45):
Choke a few times?
Speaker 5 (01:46):
Tears on the beach.
Speaker 6 (01:48):
It's horrible at the Masters that time and collapsed to
his knees. The Great Man. Yes, a lot happening in Perth.
So obviously, and obviously we lost Jeremy McGovern when we
lost him, he got tired medically for medical reasons for concussion.
The Great Man, did you know though, in the modern era,
so since we've had eighteen teams, which is from twenty twelve,
(02:11):
no one has taken more intercept marks than Jeremy McGovern.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Is a man in the spot six hundred and fifty four.
Speaker 6 (02:17):
It was so I reckon he's the best tool defender
of the modern era. And when the Eagles picked their
best ever team, is he at C and a half back?
Is Jakovic at and a half back? You know Who's
where does he sit in the top ten? I've probably
got him about six or seven of them in their
best ever player. So and he retires not just a
champion lease but also a symbol of change. And I'm
(02:39):
being serious for one second, not very serious on this segment,
but he reminds us that, you know, true courage is
not only about playing through pain, but nowadays knowing when
to step away, when to protect your future.
Speaker 7 (02:55):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 6 (02:56):
He's done it for his family three he's thirty three.
They've said, look should step away, and he's gone. You
know what, You're right, I'll do that.
Speaker 5 (03:02):
A lot of people wouldn't have that.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
Would I want that last three games or what the
last three games?
Speaker 7 (03:07):
Undred exactly?
Speaker 5 (03:08):
So, yeah, good on you, Jeremy class.
Speaker 6 (03:10):
Because I believe it's a step change actually from what's
been going on. Everyone's accepting now because in my ear,
if you didn't go back on after getting knocked out,
you're a week you're big softy.
Speaker 7 (03:20):
You know, people had to go if you could remember
you name? What's your name? Bar right back on?
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Sweet some more damage?
Speaker 7 (03:26):
Which way are we kicking?
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Where am I.
Speaker 7 (03:32):
Close enough?
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Close enough?
Speaker 7 (03:36):
Those are the days.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
I believe that fingers coventy fingures eleven.
Speaker 7 (03:40):
It did affect May at all. Hey, listen, I believe,
and I believe. I believe.
Speaker 6 (03:44):
The Eagles are out celebrating too. So Wembley Hotel. Can
you imagine Harley at Wembley? Yeah, that's what the bombers
were there too. And then apparently the vaults the place
to go if you're cool.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
I was the vault.
Speaker 7 (04:01):
Do you know the vault? Okay, I'm not cool?
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Idea And it's in north Bridge, it's not Wembley as
well as vault.
Speaker 7 (04:08):
We're heading to the vault. It's the new rumors. Anyway.
Speaker 6 (04:17):
Their party is going to stop soon because they played
Collingwood on Saturday. That's one versus Adeen. Good luck against
Nick Dakos, who's absolutely on fire the Brownlow.
Speaker 7 (04:29):
If Caleb doesn't win it, Caleb's are wrong.
Speaker 6 (04:31):
Maybe so if you like to speculate, the Eagles are
twelve to one to win against the piss two races.
Speaker 7 (04:38):
Oh this is good.
Speaker 6 (04:39):
Now before I go out in must break, I got
to mention Carlton horrible losing the North Melbourne. You know,
one of the bottom teams ending their final series. Blues
fans ropable absolutely off their heads about what's going on
with VOSSI and none more than this fella Clary his handles,
his name is Snapper.
Speaker 7 (04:59):
And he rang three w and Melbourne straight after the
Match's what he had to say.
Speaker 8 (05:02):
That game style today was disgusting, chipping it around like
with ten goals up and it's about time. Members of
Waking Up. I called these in twenty twenty three. We
are a joke. I rarely leave the game early, in
fact never. We walked down a three quite a time
and that says it all. Peace off, boss, get out now,
(05:23):
wow oh my god.
Speaker 7 (05:25):
Anyway, then sat snappy as snappy and then ten minutes
later have a listener to this bloog bobbing up on
sen The players don't care.
Speaker 9 (05:34):
That is the right back side. They don't want to chase,
they don't want to play.
Speaker 10 (05:38):
Gave Ashley Hanson before the game, saying that no one
in the club listens to outside noise. Maybe you should,
Maybe you should if you're not gonna play, I said
it a few weeks a coach.
Speaker 9 (05:51):
You're not gonna play for the coach. Play for people
like myself. Wit buss foot balls every week they get there.
Had hurt money, especially the emblem.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
He was going around the ground. Be passionate.
Speaker 7 (06:16):
He just started. He was ringing every station, play for
the emblem.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
The emblem.
Speaker 7 (06:20):
I never heard that one.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Very passionate anyway.
Speaker 6 (06:22):
Now the Dockers, the Dockers, and then there were nine
years and Kilda next up at home on Sunday.
Speaker 7 (06:29):
And another home games.
Speaker 5 (06:30):
Just how many games are ready to go?
Speaker 7 (06:32):
That's no, that's how many?
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Yeah there is.
Speaker 6 (06:34):
Actually, you're right, there's nine that can win it. There's
nine teams still in it. So Spots, let's hope they
get over the top of ross line. Their old coach,
the wily old coach. You've come out with something, no doubt.
So Collingwood, Brisbane, Geelong, Adelaide Hawthorne, Freemantle, Giants, Bulldogs and
the Sons who are now ninth. They they're the nine
teams that can win it into eight spots. I guess
(06:58):
the Sons have only played thirteen games and the rest
have played fourteen or fifteen.
Speaker 7 (07:02):
So it's very doat like a Thory Gun.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Be upset with that loss of the Giants because the
Giants came Steck weekend.
Speaker 7 (07:11):
Mate, so we'll knock the Suns out of the eight.
Speaker 6 (07:13):
So now I check this out, you guys, So no
problems for the West Coast fever record equaling nine straight
wins I've had after defeating the Thunderbirds at rac Ran
a huge, big green crowd, and I checked out. You
know how we're talking about the hotness levels. So they're
blue hot because apparently apparently in hotness terms it goes red, orange, yellow,
(07:36):
then white chili scale and then blue blue is the
hottest glue.
Speaker 5 (07:42):
Blue hot. I've never had anyone describe anyone as blue hot.
Speaker 6 (07:45):
It sounds stupid, that's why, because there's no green hot,
so they're blue hot. They're on fire. So well done
to the fever. It's a lot happening in per the
British and Irish Lions just arrived last night at seven o'clock,
so that's the famous rugby team. They're playing the Force
on the weekend. They have a Welcome the Country in
King's Park at twelve thirty if you want to go,
then Cottslow Beach Club at four thirty. And they'll be
(08:07):
training at Hale School Wednesdays and on Friday, so the
rugby people will know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
That will get a crowded anywhere they go.
Speaker 6 (08:15):
Oh yeah, Earth and Matilda's and the Matilda's arrived as well,
so they're training at Sam Curve Football Center in Queens
Park at three point thirty.
Speaker 5 (08:25):
Is that actually what it's called?
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Yes, sign is actually And.
Speaker 7 (08:30):
I think the Great Woman will be here soon too.
She's flying.
Speaker 6 (08:34):
Yeah, Sam's coming over to so whether she's there today
or tomorrow, I believe she's coming this week. So the
Matilda's are playing three games in Wa, two at HbF
Park and one in Bunbury and at the New Hands
over the AFL.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Enough I have a bit of sport down man.
Speaker 6 (08:50):
We are on fire and I'm just so very excited
about December four at Opta Stadium.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
You are.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
That night you might be blue hot.
Speaker 7 (09:00):
Be so excited to will be blue hot. Probably hope
it doesn't go blue.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
Thank you Baron, We will see you on Friday. Well,
the secret is out. It's been confirmed ac DC are

Speaker 5 (09:35):
Shirt true So Opta Stadium, December four. It is a
Thursday night.
Speaker 3 (09:44):

or six or seven times, lost count over the years.
Speaker 5 (10:44):

Speaker 2 (10:46):
I was there at cub Oval. Since then, I mean,
you Cliff the bass players left, and you've got Chris Cheney,
who's not the living Ends Chris Chaney, it's the guy
played based for Jane's addiction playing in the band, and
the new drummer as well in Matt. Look. So you've
got a couple of young bloke's coming into the fray
and I think it's going to be hitting it.
Speaker 5 (11:03):
In the family though, of course, pretty amazing.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Yeah, I think it's really cool Ivank Stevie to be
young out there as well. Since we lost Malcolm the Man.
It was Malcolm's band, let's be honest, and Angus was
the incredible showman who still does its seventy years of age. Yes, yeah,
I can't wait for this.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
Ammel and the Sniffers will be the support act. They
cleaned up at the Arias the last Arias and I
saw them on one of the American late night shows
and they loved them. I think it might have been Kimmel,
Jimmy Kimmel's show, right. Oh, the audience went nuts for them,
love it, Amal and the sniffers, and so.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
You get quickly known, get on an American late night show.

I think the following day. I don't think I'll be here.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
More crazy, more podcasts soon.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
The award winning w Way, author of Invisible Boys, which
became a hit series for Stan, has a new book out,
King of Dirt, and that author and owner of one
of the best writing show is names I've ever heard,
Holden Shepherd, is with this now.
Speaker 12 (12:10):
Good morning, good morning, thanks for having me.
Speaker 5 (12:13):
Like Holden Shepherd, you had to be destined for greatness.
Speaker 12 (12:15):
I was either going to be yeah, supercar driver or
something cool.
Speaker 5 (12:20):
I reckon, don't tell me that dad was a Holden man.
Speaker 12 (12:22):
I mean how to that was a yeah, yeah, you
had to be Yes, you could have been brock Look,
I could have look I've missed out on a lot
of opportunities here, I drive drive as fast as that.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Oh do you wow?
Speaker 12 (12:34):
Probably wouldn't say that, King of Dirt.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
And look, I've read Brink, I've seen Invisible Boys. They're
classified as YA and this is your first adults story
and boy, yes, yes, I'm reading it.
Speaker 5 (12:50):
And I'm like, who's looking at what I'm reading? It's
pretty raunchy, holders, pretty full on it. It's pretty full on.
Speaker 12 (12:59):
Yeah, I've had a lot of messages. There's a particular chapter,
the Leaf chapter, where getting a lot of messages. The
content of that chapter a good way. People are enjoying it.
They're like, I don't know you could do that the book,
and I'm like, yeah, you can.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Because we grew up with you know, sometimes awkward moments
when mum or dad would be in the room watching
something on TV. It was like, this is different. You
can you can write this.
Speaker 12 (13:19):
In a book. It's a bit easier because there's no
one sitting next to you watching it, right, But having
Invisible Boys on TV was a little bit it was
a little bit cringe to watch that with family members.
You please remember, this is not me, this is a character.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
Now you're from Geralton, and it seems the town has
influenced your storytelling.
Speaker 12 (13:38):
Yeah, I'm proud Gero boy. I left a long time ago,
but I kind of always wish i'd stayed. A country
boy in a way, I always felt like I belong there.
I liked who I was there, and I liked working there.
So I actually went back when they were filming Invisible
Boys up on location in Drum and that's where King
of Dirt actually came from. I was sitting there and
having this big nostalgia moment of like, what would have
happened if I'd stayed here, if I kept working in
earth moving and got married to a good jeror Italian girl,
(14:02):
which is, you know what whatever unexpected? Yeah, yeah, we
would took out that way. It didn't work out that way,
but it's like a little sliding doors thing. So the
King of Dirt was born. And Jack Brollow is that
kind of sliding doors version of me.
Speaker 7 (14:13):
Probably.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
I'm not from Geraldton, but my my sister and her
family have lived there for close to thirty years now,
so I get up there a lot. And we all
gathered to watch Invisible Boys because my niece's husband was
going to be in the opening the opening scene, he's
driving the forklift in a kidding at the poor It's Jason,
my niece's husband, and we're like, there's the forklift.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Where are you Jackson hitting a cart?
Speaker 8 (14:38):
Yeah?
Speaker 11 (14:39):
Do you know what?
Speaker 12 (14:39):
He never made it. If he feels better, he's in
good company. My cameo got cutters.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
I did. I'm raging, did you know though, because there's
nothing worse than beaving at a preview and not knowing.
Speaker 8 (14:48):
No.
Speaker 12 (14:49):
I sat there and watching and I was like, here
I am any second there an disipation and then I'm gone.
Speaker 5 (14:54):
But I think I have met you have Jason, because
she presented him with an award.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
Yeah, I was.
Speaker 12 (15:00):
I went up to Guerro and the jar Reports Ports
whatever they call. They're like, come down to our stuff barbecue,
and yeah they give us. Give these guys I think
are two blocks Report who were extras in the show.
Speaker 5 (15:11):
Yes, he did get best forklift Driver.
Speaker 12 (15:13):
Yeah, yeah, he got this little like little fake oscar Sta.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (15:19):
It was a big moment. Yeah, it's a very big
moment at least.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
And I get contacted by people we've known from our
past about what we did in radio. But you must
get that a lot now with people from school days
and the like.
Speaker 12 (15:28):
I've just had it. So I've just come back from
the East Coast tour for King of Dirt and in Melbourne,
and this is what I'm so weary now about anything
I say in front of an audience, because you never
know who's in the audience. So I was talking about
like past girlfriends at high school whatever. Yeah, let's look
at this woman in the audience. I was like, God,
she looks familiar. She was my first girlfriend from Jero. No,
she came along and she's like studying technology now and
(15:50):
she's gonna work for NASA. I was like, Okay, didn't
expect this. Wow, So yeah, you gotta be careful. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
I can never anyone yeah yeah.
Speaker 9 (16:00):
Yeah yeah.
Speaker 12 (16:00):
I thought Jero was a small town, but you go
to Melbourne and it's like, oh, there's Jero still.
Speaker 13 (16:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
It features so prominently on every page of King of Dirt,
you know, from the Bendy Trees to the AREU Team
Brand Highway.
Speaker 5 (16:13):
Or Indian Ocean Road.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
I've moved to Brand Highway by the way because you know,
when it was closed for a while, I found I
could do one hundred and ten from ellen Brook so
much better.
Speaker 12 (16:24):
I live in Butler, right, And when Indionation drive, I
was like, yeah, to go to Jerro and it's like
not go one hundred the whole weather Lands actuweet.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
This is great. Thanks frustrated.
Speaker 12 (16:34):
It's the most frustrated road in the world.
Speaker 5 (16:36):
At least you have the choice.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
So writing, as we said, it's pretty raunchy. It is
a fairly erotic book.
Speaker 5 (16:44):
Is that hard to rush?
Speaker 3 (16:47):
It's it's just do you ever blush your own Like,
I can't believe I'm putting this on a page.
Speaker 12 (16:53):
No, I actually really enjoy it. And it was really
freeing to to have worked in the YA space for
a little while. And even though it's my books have
kind of idiot grown up but that were still kind
of pitched partly adults but partly at fifteen to eighteen,
so you couldn't kind of go too far with it.
And this one was like, you're off the lead, do
what you want. Yeah, and I could just really write.
I felt that hot stuff.
Speaker 5 (17:15):
Reading, I felt that coming through. I'm really happy, as
pretty full on as it is.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
Speaking of Invisible Boys, there is I believe a season
two TBC.
Speaker 12 (17:26):
Yeah, okay, but there is a second book.
Speaker 5 (17:29):
Oh well, there you go.
Speaker 12 (17:30):
So that's that's definitely confirmed. So I've written a book
called Yeah the Boys, which is yeah the Boys. Yeah,
the Boys. It's hard to say it any other way.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Yeah, you just gonna say, yeah the Boys.
Speaker 12 (17:40):
Absolutely, but it brings it brings all the first three
books together, so the Brink Invisible Boys, they all have
like a big crossover, calling it into the Shepherd verse.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
Yeah, a bit of a Shepherd verse mentioned in King
of Dirt. The island that doesn't actually exist, Well, yes, that's.
Speaker 12 (17:58):
Fictional islands, a little an easter egg in there. It's
kind of a fictional wedge island. But I just don't
want to kind of absolutely actually wed because then.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
But yeah, The Boys sounds like something you hear at
footy grounds with five minutes to play all around Australia.
Speaker 12 (18:13):
Yeah, and that's the thing. And actually, I mean that's
what kind of King of do it is. It's a
blokey book. It's as much as it's a hot book.
It's a blokey book and it's about it's about men's
mental health. So yeah, The Boys is about the boys,
it's about men. It's about men's mental health. And it's
about footy culture. Actually, it's kind of a celebration of
all of it.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
It's very timely, really and ties in masculinity, sexuality, and
mental health so beautifully.
Speaker 5 (18:36):
And it's how important is it to you that that
is discussed as much as possible.
Speaker 12 (18:40):
Incredibly important. Yeah, at the moment, there's so much in
this space, but there always has been. And I'm someone
who had incredibly bad mental health as a teenager. I
still have to manage my mental health, you know, like
it's not something that goes away.
Speaker 5 (18:53):
I think life, Yeah, it's full.
Speaker 10 (18:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 12 (18:55):
When I talked about Invisible Boys and my experience as
a teenager, people seem to think like, oh, so you
were really and now you're all good, And I was like, no,
I'm not all good, but don't say that about me.
So with keing of Dirt, I'm showing Jack and he's
got a lot of issues. You know, he's got addiction
issues and he's got mental health issues, and that comes
from me. I want to talk about this stuff and
throw myself into those conversations because I have mates who
(19:16):
haven't made it. I know lots of guys who struggle
and just don't reach out and I did reach out
and it probably.
Speaker 7 (19:21):
Saved my life.
Speaker 12 (19:22):
When I was nineteen, I reached out to across this
line and I'm like, Okay, I know this helps, and
I know this sase lives, and I want more blokes
to do that because it doesn't feel weak. I never
felt weak when I did that. I felt stronger for it.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
Silence.
Speaker 12 (19:35):
Yeah, I wasn't just going, oh that life is hard.
Speaker 7 (19:38):
Life is hard.
Speaker 12 (19:38):
Let me numb myself with drinking all the time, which
is what I mean. I did did that for a
little bit, but it was like, let me try to
help myself, let me try to take charge of my
life and get better. And it felt tougher and stronger
to actually reach out and talk to a counselor. And
it did to just suffer in silence.
Speaker 5 (19:51):
And so is there are a lot of you in Jack,
there is a lot of me in chat.
Speaker 9 (19:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 12 (19:55):
Yeah, he's pretty much man. I mean, he goes for Collingwood,
he's got a problem with betting out.
Speaker 5 (19:59):
Loves this year whatever that car is the Phantom. He
loves this book.
Speaker 12 (20:04):
And I'm going to be honest, you know my V
eight is also called phantom. Yeah, very thin, veneer of fiction.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
This book.
Speaker 12 (20:12):
The thing I do have to really be careful of
saying is that, you know, Jack's family are horrible and
they're not my family.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Yeah, what about support? And it obviously supports lovely from readers.
They're paying their good, hard money to buy the books
in that, but also when you get funding and the
like you're standing on a stage with Nichola Forest and
mindaud you know, giving you accolades, that must be wonderful.
Supporting the creatives.
Speaker 12 (20:35):
It is. It's really cool to get organizations, philanthropic organizations
kind of funding the arts. So I got a grant
from Mindaru and then I won that award as a
subsequent thing. Right, So the grant was twenty five grand,
the award was fifty grand. That was early this year.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
This is all for yeah, the boys.
Speaker 12 (20:50):
Before I was doing that, I was laboring the timber
yard because I was like, I have no other way
to supplement my income. Writing is a really hard thing
to make a full time living out of in Australia. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
it's just not big enough.
Speaker 7 (21:01):
Book.
Speaker 12 (21:03):
So I was just lifting bundles of wood and packing
them for bunnings and then writing books in my spare
time around it, and I just thought, this is so slow,
like I'm not going to get my career anywhere if
I do this. So I went and went for a
grant and Mindaru, thanks to thank you to Nicola Forest.
Thanks to the forest, they gave me a grant for
this book and they thought, yeah, this could really work.
And it's just landed a deal so it'll be out
next year.
Speaker 3 (21:24):
So yeah, well, it's so good to see you have
success with writing, because I mean, I'm a big reader.
Speaker 5 (21:30):
I love to read. It's my favorite hobby.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
And I'd say all of my favorite writers at the
moment are Australian writers and West Australian writers too, so
and it's so exciting to read stories that you identify
places with, you know, whether it's the bendy trees on
the drive into Gerald and everything. So please keep them
coming and thank you. Thank you for King of Dirt,
thank you for coming in today.
Speaker 12 (21:50):
Thank you. I really appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
Thanks good to see mate, and no word of a lie.
Lisa walked enough to started reading this one and she
looked at me, Holden Shepherd.
Speaker 12 (22:00):
Kid, you know that is that's the reaction I want.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
I got what I thanks man, are you doing the
same thing as me warming your hands up over there.
Speaker 5 (22:09):
This is ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
We get a fireplace set up.
Speaker 5 (22:12):
Pippen must be down with the scarlet fever again because
the boiler is on the blink again.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
In other words, our building is cold.
Speaker 5 (22:22):
Our building is so cold it is. Who were with
us last year?
Speaker 3 (22:28):
Remember us coming on at this time, the old boiler
lamenting the meat. Yeah, because the boiler was broken for
all of winter last year. Apparently they fixed it, but
it's already it seems to be not working.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
If it's a lot warmer where you are this morning,
it's sold.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
My legs were aching out there, nose was dripping. We
might as well have been in.
Speaker 5 (22:50):
The car park.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
I reckon, I saw Fagan downstairs. I don't think it's
Pip and I think it's Fagan. More please, more heat.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
More crazy, more podcasts soon.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
My super sensory wife said to me on the weekend.
At one day early on the weekend, she said, what's
that smell? No, here we go, I got to find something.
And her senses, you said, your mum. Your mum's like this,
incredible senses, like a cat.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
She knew when I'd been smoking. Of course she did
from a suburb away.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
Were you're doing spraying that spray in your mouth like
good tooth brushed down? What I Wasn't they just know,
don't they? So Laurie's senses are so cute. I remember
when we lived in Dunk Craig. She for one one day,
she said, for about five nights in a row, she said,
I can hear running water And I said, oh, that
could be a kilometer away, knowing you're hearing. Yeah, sure,
(23:39):
And our five days later idiot goes at the back
and we've got a burst pipe out in the backyard,
like we're talking twenty meters away from our bed.
Speaker 5 (23:46):
She could hear it underneath the ground before it even happens.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
I reckon, So bizarre, so bizarre. So now it's the
sense of smell is very cute, right, So what's that smell?
So I started going through the areas of the house,
and normally it's wet areas you will get the smells.
So I started off with the started up with bathroom
and quite often it's easily sorted if it's a drain.
But it wasn't the drain. It came from the drain,
it wasn't there. So then I tried the hair out
(24:11):
of the train. Let the ring that came out of
the TV, didn't it. Then I tried the toilet, a
couple of toilets at our place. It was not hard.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
What does that involve sticking your head right out practically
into the bowl, having a big old house sniff.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
I told you it was, mister sniffy. It's not hard
to locate a smell and a toilet. That's funny nickname.
It's even easier to find the perpetrator at my place.
But on this occasion, the smell was not from the
toilet or from this perpetrator. Okay, So then we go
to the kitchen. Kitchen's eggs. You're going to go the
wet areas. We go to the kitchen, so you checked
the bin. The bins were fine and giving them a clean. Yeah,
(24:48):
as far as bin's going anyway. The fridge was okay,
we're things like our work fridge in there.
Speaker 5 (24:53):
And the sink because that train also can get a bit, the.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Sink was a bit sniffy. Yeah, the pantry was okay. Last,
and there was only one spot left in the kitchen
to check, and it wasn't the dish washer. It was
one cupboard where the cat food gets kept. We've gone.
Actually does smell a little bit dry food. We have
these dying wet food packs right in our cupboard. Okay,
(25:17):
so Laurie instead of me looking, Laurie's going for a look.
You're on, Yeah, what's that smell? I said, well, it
is where the cat food is, but they're in closed packets,
right However, she pulled out the box which had ten
packets in it. Yes, yeah, you prepared, and are you
not any breakfast today? Come on now, I reckon one
packet I know, but I have to tell the story, right,
(25:39):
I reckon one packet had a split in it, and
a whole extended family of cockroaches has decided to make
their way into that cupboard. I'm talking. I reckon at
least eighty baby cockroaches were all over this box. I'm
thinking that extended family. That's a big Christmas table required
for that family. They were everywhere, and Laurie has freaked out.
(26:00):
Imagine the blood curdling scream I heard.
Speaker 5 (26:02):
But it was the it was the split cat food.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
I recoonne the smell. That was the smell. So the
smell of the cat food and whatever you.
Speaker 3 (26:09):
Could have finished the story with that, we didn't have
to delve into eighty baby cockroach territory.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
I had to mention the cockroaches. They probably helped split
the bag open even wider because they were determined to
eat it. So I've instantly, after hearing the bud curdling scream,
I've grabbed the box straight in the plastic rubbish bag,
unloaded up whole can I should have I should have
Molotov cocktail. That the whole can of spray in there
sealed the bag straight out to the outside. beIN forgotten. Yeah,
I'm not forgotten by Laurie. Yeah, so the rules at
(26:36):
our place now, Angel the cat gets hungry, she has
to go to cafes or restaurants. No food being brought home.
Speaker 5 (26:42):
Sorry, now I'm just opening up my Uber account. Okay,
see what my rating is? Four point seven eight? What
did I do to lose the point.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
Two four point seven eight? Already I can't find mine?
Do you want to have a look for me?
Speaker 5 (26:59):
I just don't know whether under account.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
A we're located four point nine six. What four point
ninety six?
Speaker 5 (27:06):
Why is you're so high?
Speaker 2 (27:07):
Because I only use it for because I go out
and drink much, so I only usebers for airport runs
from Southee.
Speaker 5 (27:15):
I might only be going one suburb.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
You down. That's why you lost your point two too.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
The reason we are we are doing this is because
during the show on Friday, there was an Uber ad
came on talking about ratings and it got us talking
off air about our ratings, and the Susie producers and
Liz were also having the exact same conversation outside of
the studio. Yours is what four point four point eighth
(27:40):
Susie's four point eight? I'm the loser of the no
hanging on I'm not actually, because Liz is under a
four point five, and apparently anything under a four point
five is bad. Drivers will think twice about it about.
Speaker 5 (27:53):
Picking you up.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
Okay, why but why would There's nothing wrong with Liz.
Why would she be under four point five?
Speaker 2 (28:02):
There might have been something happened on a particular occasion.
Speaker 5 (28:04):
Maybe he said go that way, now I've changed my mind,
go back.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
Can we pick up my friends on the way, or
wouldn't talk to them or something? Guessing what you did
to lose half of a point?
Speaker 3 (28:15):
I had a very chatty uber driver that night at
Pinocchio's yes, going home.
Speaker 5 (28:20):
But I chatted away, So I don't see why I'm a.
Speaker 3 (28:23):
Four point seven eight. I should be a four point
eight eight at least know what's going on all right?
Speaker 1 (28:27):
Now?
Speaker 5 (28:27):
What we want to talk about. Has anyone got five stars?
Has anyone a five?
Speaker 2 (28:31):
Has anyone got the perfect scores?
Speaker 5 (28:33):
So we could sit there in the end at this stage,
what were you four point.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
Four point nine six?
Speaker 3 (28:37):
Okay, so top that four point ninety six is the
is the number to top? Also, we'd like to know
if you ruined your uber raging and how you did it?
What did you do it?
Speaker 5 (28:49):
Anyway? Like, not only who's got the top one, who's
got the lowest one?
Speaker 2 (28:53):
How little did you have to do to get your
rating down?
Speaker 14 (28:55):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (28:56):
No, it might have just been anyone got like a
three or something.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
Oh God, they want to pick you'll be taking the bus.
I think you'd be walking.
Speaker 14 (29:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
I love to hear him this.
Speaker 5 (29:04):
Morning, Aaron im Pinjaro, good morning. Am I to believe
you're a five star?
Speaker 8 (29:10):
No?
Speaker 15 (29:11):
I am a five star?
Speaker 2 (29:13):
Tolf of the clothes.
Speaker 3 (29:14):
Have any idea what make what has you know caused
you to get this perfect score?
Speaker 15 (29:21):
Well, bear in mind that I don't live in the
city anymore. I don't hit it very often, but when
I do enough usually to go from my mechanics to Ikea,
and it's such a like barren on Scoveried Road, so
it's not very far. But I always tip. It's a
short trip and they seem to love it.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
Okay, always tip on the tip. That's the case, because
I started to think, here and maybe you take them
a bottle of.
Speaker 5 (29:46):
Water, and what if you're taking them out for lunch.
Speaker 15 (29:49):
I don't drink the water. Used to be an O
driver many years ago. Okay, well, yeah, care And I
actually got downstarted by lovely young ladies one day because
they threw up in my car. So they threw up
in my car and I got downstairs and I would
(30:10):
yeah that's what.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
You didn't surprise, sick bags? What was going on there?
Speaker 3 (30:14):
Wow?
Speaker 15 (30:16):
Yeah, they've been drinking Red Warne too.
Speaker 12 (30:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 15 (30:21):
Yeah, my lovely issuv. So there were three of them.
Speaker 3 (30:25):
Congratulations on your five stars. You're the first five star
I've ever aunted.
Speaker 5 (30:31):
Thanks eron.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
That was the magic word. Short trip.
Speaker 5 (30:34):
Always always tip even rhymes now John and como. John
is an uber driver out to John.
Speaker 13 (30:42):
Yes, I am tell us what.
Speaker 3 (30:45):
Would make you drop someone's rating or indeed increase it.
How do I get my four point seven eight up
to five?
Speaker 13 (30:55):
Well, that really depends on what you're saying on the driver.
The system is space to work is to give someone
a five unless they do something in your carlation, so
like a sort of give you some of the pan
raper short rights, not on.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
It's just not what you do.
Speaker 13 (31:13):
Basically, if I went downstairs someone and I get this
a little bit because of the hours I work. People
getting in my car eating, Yeah, some people just get
in the car. I don't even ask you.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
Yeah yeah, yeah do that.
Speaker 8 (31:33):
Other things?
Speaker 13 (31:34):
You keep me waiting too long out front of your house.
I don't do that, No, but people do do that.
And I sat in front of people's houses for four
or five minutes.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
And they get franky. If you canceled that, I'm very punctual.
Speaker 12 (31:49):
I don't know why.
Speaker 8 (31:52):
That's good.
Speaker 5 (31:53):
My conversation must suck.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
Good on you, John, Thanks for your words of wisdom, John.
Speaker 3 (32:04):
John does does a does a longer trip like Clasy
going all the way to the airport?
Speaker 5 (32:09):
Does that raise the rating at all?
Speaker 10 (32:13):
Raise the rating?
Speaker 14 (32:14):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (32:14):
Okay, it might stop if from getting knocked.
Speaker 3 (32:18):
Down yet that because that theory works the other way
with me. I will give anyone a five unless they've
done something that really annoys me. And if they've done
something that really annoys me, I just ignore the rating.
You know, thing you're not completely Yeah, yeah, okay, John, John,
I'll work on it on everything.
Speaker 5 (32:38):
I don't know what, because I'm already doing all that.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
You don't mention that you're backs birth or something.
Speaker 9 (32:42):
I don't.
Speaker 5 (32:43):
I talked to them about Archie, do that down. I
don't care you waiting. I'm out the front, ready to go.
They don't even have to fully stop.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
But with the rod chairs, you don't want to take
that risk of them canceling on you, because it can
happen if you make them work for ninety seconds.
Speaker 5 (32:57):
All right, at gotta text gott to four point nine one.
But I didn't leave their name. But a four point
nine one is very good.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
That's not bad, is it? It's pretty good David.
Speaker 8 (33:09):
For us.
Speaker 11 (33:09):
So look, I don't even know this thing had a
rating until you guys spoke about it. It's already blown
me out of the water. Sold I actually deleted that
two days ago, trying to clean up the storage on
the Yeah, so yeah, I installed it and figured out
where it was located.
Speaker 14 (33:29):
Oh, I got five stars. Trust be told, though I've
only ever used it to go from home to the doctor,
the doctor and back, and I have had some very passionate,
very colorful conversations with some mover drivers.
Speaker 9 (33:45):
But again, you know, I never thought about the rating.
Speaker 14 (33:48):
Never never someone there you go five stars.
Speaker 3 (33:51):
Clearly they enjoyed your conversation. Yeah, thanks, David, had a great.
