Speaker 1 (00:00):
Wait, wait, wait up and go Adelaide's Fun Breakfast show,
Max and Alley in the Morning.

Speaker 2 (00:12):
Let's go.

Speaker 3 (00:14):
Maxonalely in the morning.

Speaker 4 (00:16):
Would you make the mcgarala yesterday?

Speaker 3 (00:18):
Are mental? Look? I absolutely love it and it gave
me more joy than I thought because I wanted to
show my kids some of these amazing costumes. Because it's
met gala. For those that don't know, it's a massive fundraiser.
I think they raised twenty two million dollars across seventy
five thousand dollars a ticket to.

Speaker 4 (00:34):
Go to this morning, you've got to be well.

Speaker 3 (00:36):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, And so I wanted to show them
some of the stuff about how the other half lives.
And so I got them to what do you call
it when you put your phone up on that big TV?

Speaker 4 (00:46):
I like a crime cars?

Speaker 3 (00:47):
Yeah, yeah, want of the kids to do that. We're
sharing and my husband is sitting there going, oh what
are we watching? I don't want to watch this anyway?
Next minute, Oh, he's like, who is that? Go back
up again?

Speaker 4 (00:59):
Really?

Speaker 3 (01:00):
Oh yeah? He was right into it, and.

Speaker 4 (01:01):
He stopped when he saw Emily Radakowski. But that's beside
the point.

Speaker 3 (01:04):
She was wearing a Vagina.

Speaker 4 (01:06):
Yeah, you could see pretty much that there were a
couple of outfits. Ali, and you know me of a
big fashionista that I am, you remark quite often on
the clothes that I wear on this show. A couple
of outfits that I wanted to point out to you,
And I'm sure you may have seen him, but if not,
here is a little.

Speaker 3 (01:25):
Picture of the are your favorites?

Speaker 4 (01:27):
Well, there's certainly six outfits that I found. Can we
start the top with Lizzo? Yeah, lissoy Lizzo looks if
I saw Lizzo in front of me wearing that, I
would be trying to throw like balled up pieces of
paper in her head. Looks like shes got a waste
paper basket on her head.

Speaker 3 (01:43):
Well, I call it the frilly neck Lizard.

Speaker 4 (01:45):
That's actually pretty good. It's like a full neck lizard
cross of the Mermaid.

Speaker 3 (01:48):
Crossed with you know, the corpse flower. The blossoms only
once a year at the Botanic Gardens.

Speaker 4 (01:53):
Yeah, so it's one out of ten Lizzo, So I'm
not happy with that. If you just move along to
Lana del Rey, very famous for being a sad Lana
del Rey sort of looks like if you've seen June,
one of the Benet jesuit in that. But she also
has like a tree growing out of her head that's
holding up a canopy that looks like it keeps the
birds away from fruit.

Speaker 3 (02:11):
Because there's like a The whole thing was about a garden,
a secret garden. That was the entire thing.

Speaker 4 (02:15):
It sucks and I hate it, sorry, Lana. Can you
go to Ed Sheeran please? What do you think Ed
Sheeran in his blue.

Speaker 3 (02:22):
I reckon, my mum would have dated a few of these, didn't.
I mean, not necessarily the redhead bit of it, but
the horrendous blue light color.

Speaker 4 (02:31):
But yeah, yeah, Ed Sheeran looks like a cross between
an eighties wedding singer and a four year old who
looks like he's just about to poo themselves. Maybe it's
just put himself. Can we go down to Taikeyi and
Rita Aura thoughts on Taikey's couch, Well.

Speaker 3 (02:49):
Most people are calling him because he's dressed completely in
brown leather the pool emoji.

Speaker 4 (02:55):
He looks like a couch that you'd find maybe at
your grandma's house. It still works, you reckon?

Speaker 3 (03:00):
Oh yeah, with him?

Speaker 4 (03:02):
Okay, we could disagree on that.

Speaker 3 (03:03):
I don't know the egg could get in that, but.

Speaker 4 (03:06):
Result two more to go real quick for you. Rebecca Ferguson.
This isn't the best picture of her, but if you
just cut off the bit where her dress is folded
up and you've got the black cape on her, she
rocked up and was covered in the black cape.

Speaker 5 (03:18):
Yere.

Speaker 3 (03:19):
She had a reveal moment.

Speaker 4 (03:20):
It looked like she had been at the barber shop
that morning, Like what you wet your little barber's capes?
She don't your hair all over yourself?

Speaker 3 (03:26):
Yeah, she tried to do like a big review. I
don't think it worked either.

Speaker 4 (03:30):
Sorry.

Speaker 3 (03:31):
What's the birds on her? It's very hunger Games.

Speaker 4 (03:33):
And that's exactly where I want to finish with the
last one. Zendaya is a dead ringer for Effie from.

Speaker 3 (03:40):
I hadn't seen that, right.

Speaker 4 (03:42):
What does anyone just wear normal stuff?

Speaker 3 (03:46):
Okay, and just look to put it all into context.
Just tell us what your jumper you're wearing today.

Speaker 4 (03:51):
I'm wearing a teal and black Mount Buller Ski Lodge jumper.
It's fashion, baby, Look at.

Speaker 2 (04:00):
It is Max and Ali in the morning.

Speaker 1 (04:04):
Adelaide's fun breakfast.

Speaker 3 (04:05):
Shine all right, there's lots of times you hear about
things that are invented and you just go, really, did
the world need that? Checked a seat in a submarine
being one of them?

Speaker 4 (04:19):
Do we talk about that enough? Do we talk about them?

Speaker 3 (04:22):
And you know that I love inventing amazing things, and
I can't believe that any of my great ideas haven't
got off the ground.

Speaker 4 (04:28):
Screen door on a submarine, a submarine.

Speaker 3 (04:31):
I have found one that is going to change everyone
who has ever been within arm's length of a kid's lives.
Teachers listen up, parents, listen up. Grandparents listen up. Hairdressers
listen up.

Speaker 4 (04:47):
This is why we played hair by Little Mix is
our soundtrack of the day.

Speaker 3 (04:51):
Someone has invented glowing the dark knit powder. I cannot
tell you how excited I am about this.

Speaker 4 (05:00):
Have a rave wo no no, no, no no.

Speaker 3 (05:02):
Now. I know that everybody is now doing what I'm
about to do, because as soon as I start talking
about knits, even if I don't have them, I scratch
my head. But as somebody who has had three children,
and there was a stage there that one child who
shall remain nameless, had a recurring thing of knits for
about six months, including having us on Christmas morning doing

(05:24):
a nicked treatment.

Speaker 4 (05:26):
That's cute. We'll rewatch that one.

Speaker 3 (05:30):
Knits are a pain in the bum. It's so bad
and there is nothing worse. Then when you get the
email home from your school, we regret to inform you
that there has been a lies notification from your.

Speaker 4 (05:45):
Class, an outbreak.

Speaker 3 (05:46):
Can you please check your kids hair? And you just
see there going oh my giddy, aren't right?

Speaker 4 (05:51):
I remember the comb. Mum used to have a real
fine tooth cote.

Speaker 3 (05:56):
That's all that's happened. There has been no advancement in
knitness it. No, it's the same thing.

Speaker 4 (06:01):
It works a bit. I remember you put it through
and then you'd hold it and you're like, look at that.

Speaker 3 (06:06):
It's little bug and if they're big enough you can
see their legs moving. It's a big thing. No, no,
So not much has happening, except now we've got glow
in the dark midpowder.

Speaker 4 (06:14):
Now this thinking you couldn't improve on perfection.

Speaker 3 (06:18):
This key we lady who wait for it.

Speaker 4 (06:21):
Was a form of vet nurse okay around in it.

Speaker 3 (06:25):
So she makes this stuff in her garage and it
is now going worldwide. So essentially what you do is
you put this powder in the kid's hair. Then you
get a UV light, a last Cuside Miami gear and
you'd put it over the purse of the kid's head
and then you can find them and just pull them out,
make sure.

Speaker 2 (06:43):
You comb all out.

Speaker 4 (06:44):
You have a UV light at.

Speaker 3 (06:46):
Home, No, I think it comes with it.

Speaker 4 (06:48):
Oh that's better.

Speaker 3 (06:49):
Yeah, yeah, and then well you know, and then you
can use it for other things around then.

Speaker 4 (06:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (06:54):
But this is so I am. Do you cannot tell
you how excited I am by this.

Speaker 4 (06:59):
Do you think that that is an improvement?

Speaker 3 (07:02):
I just running a comb Yeah, yeah, because what happens
with the current stuff is you put as much of
the oil and stuff in there, and then you sit
there combing and you try to do everything you can,
but you just pray that you've got them all out,
and you don't know that you've got them all out.
So then you're on these tender hooks for another seven days.
Then you've got to do another treatment to give it
another way, and then you're on ten hooks or another
see what I mean.

Speaker 4 (07:22):
But this goes on and you're like the dodgy hotel owner,
Just let me get a blue light in that room
and double what's been going on in there.

Speaker 3 (07:29):
And did you know? I didn't know this until I
deep dived on this at about full this morning. Kids
can lose twenty one meals of blood a month from
what from the knits sucking the blood out of your scalp? Mate,
They suck your blood? Yes, now.

Speaker 4 (07:44):
I just like hung out.

Speaker 3 (07:45):
Oh that's what makes you itchy?

Speaker 6 (07:47):
Man?

Speaker 4 (07:47):
They suck your blood. Yes, yeah, I'm learning a lot
this morning.

Speaker 3 (07:53):
Anyway, like a home, this is comfortable and Max, look
all right, So I like.

Speaker 4 (08:00):
To think I'm not an idiot, but well the apparently
an idiot.

Speaker 3 (08:03):
And answer this question. If they're going into your hair
just for a home.

Speaker 4 (08:08):
Yeah, they're just hanging out. What are they eating like
bits of hair and like dirt that goes in your hair.

Speaker 3 (08:13):
They're going to eat their home.

Speaker 2 (08:16):
Yeah, Max and Ali in the morning.

Speaker 1 (08:22):
Adelaide's Fun Breakfast Yard to Mix on three Mix.

Speaker 6 (08:27):
One two point three from Max and Ali to the Rescue.

Speaker 3 (08:31):
We're finding out about Ali and Sammy's story and it
was actually Victoria who alerted us to what this family
is going through. Eight year old Sammy tripped over at
school in January of twenty twenty three, and it turns
out that he has a really large, inoperable brain tumor
and that there's no more treatment that can happen. He's
had his last treatment, so we're trying to find out

(08:54):
even more.

Speaker 4 (08:55):
Ali's best friend Victoria and her fourteen year old son Cohen,
join us right now.

Speaker 3 (09:00):
If you could summer up in five words as a mum,
what would you say? My best friend I love so much?

Speaker 7 (09:10):
Then I's exactly what we need teenagers in our life
and that's beautiful building your old Cohent, who is also
little Sammy's best mate.

Speaker 3 (09:24):
Oh you Ripper, welcome? All right, mate? You hang out
with Sammy and he's your little buddy. I was just
walking past the green room before and you were spinning
wheels and there was laughter and everything else. What's he
like there's a little mate?

Speaker 4 (09:38):
Well, he's very.

Speaker 8 (09:40):
Funny and is he cheeky?

Speaker 4 (09:42):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (09:42):
Very Yeah, he's a very cool person. I love him
very much.

Speaker 4 (09:46):
How long have you guys been mates? For a few years?

Speaker 3 (09:49):
You're pretty close, so buddy, it must be pretty hard
how to deal with it? Yeah?

Speaker 9 (09:53):
I just try to spend time with him, I guess,
and use most opportunities I get, and we get special.

Speaker 4 (10:00):
When you're a kid, you never think. I mean even
when you're an adult, you don't really want to think
about any of these things. When you're a kid, you
guys are indestructible. You never think about any of this
sort of stuff, and you are now forced to think
about it for your best mate. Do you ever have
moments where you're like, life's not fair? Or what do
you think when you're laying in bed at night thinking
about your mate?

Speaker 8 (10:18):
I'm just thinking like why don't have to happen to him?

Speaker 9 (10:20):
I mean, it's really unfair for him because he's so
young and doesn't deserve it.

Speaker 3 (10:26):
So what's your favorite thing to do? Cohen? With little
eight year old Sami?

Speaker 9 (10:30):
There's nothing I don't like doing is everything. I just
love hanging out with him. It's very fun and on him.

Speaker 4 (10:39):
That Valley wasn't sitting so far away from me, I'd
probably try and do the same thing.

Speaker 3 (10:46):
What he was doing in the car.

Speaker 4 (10:51):
Any changes Have you noticed any changes with him over
the last year or so since we discovered the issues.

Speaker 8 (10:58):
I still see him as the same person he was.

Speaker 4 (11:01):
He speaks his mind a lot more, though I feel
like he doesn't have a filter.

Speaker 3 (11:05):
When he grows up. He wants to be a police
officer and work with police dogs. Yes, like big thing.
And he also wants to fly a chopper, so you
can do that after he's a copper. Do you reckon
he'd make a good police officer.

Speaker 10 (11:17):
Yeap.

Speaker 8 (11:18):
He would be very aggressive.

Speaker 4 (11:22):
Police officers gone.

Speaker 3 (11:24):
You know how police officers get guns, right, you'll be perfect.

Speaker 8 (11:31):
He always wants to do it.

Speaker 3 (11:33):
So if you could go and say something to Sammy like,
because boys don't really talk and say anything meaningful. But
I'm going to try to stretch you a little bit here. Yeah,
if you could say something to him that you really
want him to know that, perhaps you've never said out loud.
What would you say to him?

Speaker 9 (11:48):
I love him so much and I just wish this
happened to him.

Speaker 4 (11:54):
I guess what are you going to miss about him?

Speaker 9 (11:56):
Most the way he'd like and just the way he
do stuff.

Speaker 8 (12:02):
It was very unique and I just loved it.

Speaker 3 (12:06):
Oh mate, Honestly, you seem like a very lovely kid.
But certainly for an eight year old to hold the
attention of a fourteen year old, he must be a
ripper man to hang around. He is really all right, Well,
stick around because a couple of things we need right now.
Number one, can you please hit the phone on thirteen
one O two three, whether or not you just want
to send a message of support or love, or even

(12:29):
if you've got any ideas of what we can do
to help this little family, we'd love to help hear
from you.

Speaker 4 (12:33):
Yeah, jump on the phone and then stick around with
us throughout the show. After eight we are going to
hear from Sammy himself. You're going to meet this little
bawl of joy Matt and Ali in the.

Speaker 2 (12:44):
Morning, Adelaide, it's fun breaks the show Mix one.

Speaker 6 (12:47):
O two point three, Mix one O two point three
from Max and Ali to the rescue.

Speaker 3 (12:52):
Yeah, that's what I think. Everybody's well decided with us
that we need to do for eight year old Sammy,
who we heard his story yesterday through his mum's best
friend Victoria. He's a little eight year old that has
an inoperable brain tremor. Unfortunately there is no more treatment
available to him.

Speaker 4 (13:08):
And instantly this touched everyone around Adelaide and thirteen one
two three. You jumped on the line.

Speaker 3 (13:13):
Crystal from Mowson Lakes. You've been listening to Sammy's story. Yeah,
oh yeah, okay, yeah, I'm fine.

Speaker 11 (13:23):
So just listening to the story and I guess that
pauls all heartstrings. Yeah, you know, we're blessed with a
little boy who's a He will be nine on Thursday,
so we cant every day he's healthy and we are
blessed to be in that situation. And just listening to Sammy's
story of being having an opprobable answer and a nurse

(13:46):
myself in one of Adelaide's light leading private hospitals, it
just really touched all heart strings. My sister works in
the Oncology and Hematology Award in rural Melbourne, so she
deals with a lot of stem cell transports over there.

Speaker 3 (14:00):
So you're really close, aren't you close to it all?

Speaker 12 (14:04):
Yeah?

Speaker 11 (14:04):
Yeah, yeah, So what we would like to my husband
and I would like to do, we do have a
luxury heart and if little Sammy was interested, would make
it a day for him.

Speaker 3 (14:13):
Oh that is beautiful, Crystal, that is beautiful.

Speaker 11 (14:17):
I something him that you know every little eight year
old boy or a young boy would love.

line and take a breath and happy birthday to your

ran back and said, no, no, no, I don't want the price.

Speaker 13 (14:49):

like to donate that to the family and they can
do it. They want to deal with it, whatever they

rest of it. I like to offer him a weekend
or a week in Robe and we'll pay for everything,
combination meals, if that's if that's possible, very kind of you.

Speaker 3 (15:52):

all that sort of gear. So I think the ball
is well and well and truly rolling. And you wait
until you meet each little Sammy.

Speaker 4 (17:01):
Yeah, we're gonna do that after eight today along with
his mum Ali.

Speaker 2 (17:05):
Maxon Ali in the morning.

Speaker 1 (17:07):
Adelaide's Fun Breakfast Shop.

Speaker 3 (17:11):
That he news. Yeah, it was all about the met
Gala yesterday, but I just I just need to cut
into another massive moment that happened on TV and it
was the Lego Master's finale and if you don't mind,
Ossie Fashion Icon Sophie Monk sang the national anthem sweetie

(17:41):
bit Hamish bloke in the back. But I thought that's
a good start because the Aussies flew the flag beautifully
at the met Gala last yesterday. Nicole Kobman Kylieman Oknami,
what's of course Chris Hemsworth was the co chair look good. Yeah.
Weird shooes though, big, big, big, big horrendous black sh
shoes anyway, black shoes, Ali, No, I don't. Hugh Jackman

(18:05):
though he was their solo the very first time he's
ever been to the Met Gala. Solo without his now
ex wife, Deblieve Furness, and he was wearing the same
suit that he wore when he went there for the
first time twenty years ago, and he looked fine.

Speaker 4 (18:18):
Isn't that relatable?

Speaker 3 (18:19):
Ladies?

Speaker 4 (18:20):
Your husband still wears his wedding suit is the only
black suit that he open.

Speaker 3 (18:23):
And ge he looks so much like you. Hey, everybody
also talking about Kim Kardashian's waist. If you haven't seen it,
She's wearing something silver and basically the waist it looks like,
you know in the old days, you can put your
hands around it. Previously, she'd spilled secrets on how she
gets into it, but she had to do breathing exercises

(18:46):
for eight months leading up to wearing this ridiculous corset
that she wore. I can also tell you that she
was wearing some sort of it looked like a gray
sweater thrown over this beautiful dress. And she said that
just was from a secret garden moment I have with
an ex boyfriend and it just reminded me, Yeah, I
work out I needed to cover myself up afterwards. Anyway,

(19:07):
have a listen to Kim. This is her prepping her
breathing for her look with the doctor days before the meting.
It's an art forum and I got it. I don't know, man,
I don't know why we pay any attention to that
these people.

Speaker 4 (19:24):
I sounded like Kim preparing her breathing with ray J.

Speaker 3 (19:28):
Anyway, look, she didn't have time for partying. She went
straight to Hamburg and she was in Germany thirteen years
thirteen hours after she walked that carpet. Now, guess what
how do you get to the nightclubs? You catch the
met party bus. Imagine getting on the bus and seeing
none other than Chris Hemsworth, Matt Damon and Shakira on
the back seat.

Speaker 4 (19:49):
Damn, that is a cool backpa.

Speaker 3 (19:51):
Bus is coming. And who got the best on ground? Well,
it goes to none other than Rita Aura. Oh, she
was the ultimate party girl. Her and a hubby Tiger
way eat yeah he Actually they got home at five
am and she changed out of one really skimpy outfit

(20:12):
into another really skimpy outfit, and the second one was
so skimpy that when she was trying to sneak in
and do the walk of shame, she didn't do what
we did not normally do, which is you hold your
yeah high heels in your hand. She had to cover
her breast with.

Speaker 4 (20:26):
Heirs because they were making too much noise.

Speaker 3 (20:28):
It's ridiculous. Yeah, I don't know, right.

Speaker 4 (20:31):
So her first outfit was the beads. It was like
a cape.

Speaker 3 (20:34):
Yeah, she was in a body stocking. And then just
it looked I didn't know what it was. It was
the shower curtain that you walk through back in the day.

Speaker 4 (20:41):
It genuinely looked like the shower and she gave the
quote of the day. I want to talk you through it.
She says, the beads they date back to the first
and second century BC. And the second bit of the
quote was they're older, I think than anyone that is
alive on this planet.

Speaker 7 (20:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (20:55):
And her husband looked like a Poe emoji. That's what
he was wearing. Anyway. That's a little bit to the
met Gala rap for you.

Speaker 2 (21:03):
Maxon Ali in the Morning.

Speaker 1 (21:04):
Adelaide's Fun Breakfast, he mix.

Speaker 3 (21:09):
Little Sammy is putting the sunshine in our life. He's
the little eight year old boy that we're just in
the process of meeting and introducing to you because his
mum's best friend, Victoria wrote a letter just saying, Hey,
this family's doing a bit tough. Sammy was diagnosed very
incidentally with a brain tumor the start of last year

(21:29):
and now unfortunately there is no more treatment for him.
Now after eight o'clock you to meet Sammy, but you're
also going to meet his mum Ali. And how does
it feel when you hear him say I want to
grow up and be a police officer and work with dogs.

Speaker 12 (21:42):
Knowing that that's not's not going to happen. It kind
of cuts me down because in my head, I'm life,
You're not going to grow up, You're going to stay
young forever.

Speaker 4 (21:52):
Do you ever have that conversation with him, Hannah.

Speaker 12 (21:55):
No, he knows that I'm in awe of him. He
knows that he's my warrior, He's I have so much
respect for him. So it's been tough. But as long
as as long as they are smiling every day and
they don't see me break every day, I just want
them to be happy as long as possible.

Speaker 4 (22:14):
Clearly, Ali is an absolute Superstarlis. She is unbelievable. We
heard that Sammy wanted to be a cop and on
thirty one and two three, listening to all of this
Michelle from Onka Priena Hills. You've called in with a
suggestion based off.

Speaker 15 (22:27):
That I have indeed, obviously, who just mentioned that Sammy
would love to be a policeman. So my idea is,
why not contact the police department because I'm sure they'll
be into this. We set up like you set up
a fake robbery with his friend, his best friend.

Speaker 3 (22:44):
He's a robber, Cohen.

Speaker 15 (22:45):
But yeah, Cohen, but Sammy doesn't know this, and he
has to arrest his best friend. I mean for both
of them, it's memories that will last the lifetime, obviously,
but yeah, just what to day get to experience being
a policeman, but also getting to arrest he doesn't know
the robber obviously it will be or whatever. But then

(23:07):
you get to reveal to him that's his friend Colin.

Speaker 4 (23:11):
This whole time you've thrown him in the back of
a paddy wagon and Saddie's standing over with the handcuffs.

Speaker 3 (23:16):
We might actually have to tell anybody standing around it. Yeah, yeah, Michelle,
I love that idea for our little boy who wanted
to grow up and be a police officer. Thank you
so much.

Speaker 15 (23:28):
That's You're awesome and all the best of the family.

Speaker 16 (23:31):
My heart goes out to them.

Speaker 15 (23:32):
I just yet, I couldn't imagine, so.

Speaker 3 (23:35):
Can you guys? Also, the how cou is that it
keep those calls coming? I reckon? But yeah, So thirteen
one O two three. If there's anything that you can
think of or maybe even do, or you might know
somebody that might be able to help, please get on
the phones now, thirteen one o two three.

Speaker 1 (23:52):
Max and Ali in the morning.

Speaker 2 (23:54):
Adelie, it's fun show nix on.

Speaker 3 (23:58):
We are taking your calls well, ideas about how we
can help little eight year old Sammy. Who is this
boy we're just starting to meet. In fact, you're going
to hear from him right after eight o'clock today. Unfortunately
he has an inoperable brain tumor.

Speaker 4 (24:12):
Yeah, Michelle from Kaprina gave us a nice ring. She said,
maybe we could have a day as a police officer,
which is something that we think Sammy might like. And
we've got a call now from Manapara West. It is
Beck and I believe Beck you are very good friends
with Ali and her best mate Victoria, who we've heard from.

Speaker 5 (24:30):
Yes, that's right, the three of us, all.

Speaker 3 (24:32):
Right, and you guys, you all your daughter's are friend too. Right,
because Sammy's got a couple of sisters.

Speaker 5 (24:38):
Yes, depending on the day.

Speaker 3 (24:41):
Oh Dalles, I know those teenage girls.

Speaker 4 (24:43):
Yeah, what can you tell us? What can you tell
us about your mate? Ali? First of all, Ali, she.

Speaker 5 (24:53):
Is definitely, as she goes from meeting her, an absolute
force of nature. Like she walks into a room and
she's just complete warmth. She's completely dedicated to her three children.
She will do anything for them. She's a very loyal French.
The tables returned. She would be the first person to
call you and ask what do you need?

Speaker 3 (25:14):
What do you guys do?

Speaker 10 (25:15):
Like?

Speaker 3 (25:15):
What does she love doing?

Speaker 4 (25:16):
Like?

Speaker 3 (25:16):
What something? Because we want to get to know her
and Sammy as much as possible, because so many people
are ringing wanting to be able to help out in
any way they can. So what like what do you
guys do for fun?

Speaker 4 (25:25):
You get on the espresso Martini's Ali Clark style together?

Speaker 5 (25:30):
Yeah pretty close. I mean of recent we've been going
out a lot to see cover band. So we'll go
out for dinner, have some cocktails and yeah, just forget
the world for a few hours.

Speaker 3 (25:43):
I love it. Come on, give you your best cover band.
I love cover Van.

Speaker 5 (25:48):
Those recent ones. We've seen X Men, We've seen that
a few times.

Speaker 17 (25:51):
They're always really good.

Speaker 5 (25:53):
And this past weekend we went and saw Jink Stuff
at the kloby Wa.

Speaker 4 (25:58):
So you guys are out there, any are there any
songs that come on that you're like, Oh, this is
our song, We're going to beulp this one out.

Speaker 16 (26:05):
Oh, we don't have a song that I know of.
I think just anything that we all seem to know
is like your biggest one. But I do know they're
in Ali's car with the three kids.

Speaker 5 (26:18):
There are jam sessions that go on whenever they're.

Speaker 3 (26:20):
Driving that I absolutely love. Now, we were very fortunate
enough that they came in after we got off air
yesterday and so we got to meet Sammy and Alie
in depth. And so we're going to bring that to
everybody after eight o'clock. But we're going to ask this
since we're talking about music. We've got a leftover hangover
from the Taylor Swift ticket days and we've got a

(26:41):
poster of Taylor Swift here in the studio and Sammy said, oh,
I love Taylor Swift. Alie seemed a bit dirty on
that she didn't seem to be a Taylor Swift girl like.

Speaker 5 (26:51):
She's more of an al what girl?

Speaker 3 (26:55):
Yes, like, well, we absolutely love it. Beg if there
was anything that we could do or people listening could
do or know about your friend Ali and her boys Sammy,
what would it be?

Speaker 5 (27:11):
Oh my goodness, that's a really hard question because there's
just so much. Yeah, I'm a little bit stumped on
that one.

Speaker 3 (27:21):
She doesn't strike me as somebody though that asks for help.
Would that be fair?

Speaker 10 (27:25):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (27:25):
No, both Actually, both Sam and Allie and the girls
they're all very independent for very strong willed, So yeah,
asking for help I don't think would be something that
they would do very often.

Speaker 4 (27:36):
I reckon there could be some legs in this police
idea that we've sort of come with. Do you think
something would be into that? You think you'd make a
good little eight year old police officer, Beck?

Speaker 10 (27:46):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (27:46):
Definitely?

Speaker 15 (27:47):
Good luck out running him?

Speaker 18 (27:51):
All right?

Speaker 3 (27:51):
Well, Beck, thank you so very much. Look, let us
know when you're next going up to the Chlovy. I
don't mind the old cocktail and the cover band are
You're always welcome? All right, Bet, thank you so very much,
And as I said, you will meet Ali and Sammy
yourselves after eight o'clock here I'll mix one or two
point three Max and Ali in the morning.

Speaker 1 (28:13):
Adelaide's Fun Breakfast Shops.

Speaker 4 (28:17):
Today, Ali, I came to you with something very very big. Ali,
if you ever decide that you've had enough of me
in the morning, I think I've worked out what my
next job is going to be reading sport. Sorry, if
you ever decide that you've had enough for me in
the morning, and they decide at Channel ten they've had
enough for me in the afternoon.

Speaker 3 (28:38):
Any day.

Speaker 4 (28:38):
Now it's coming. It's coming the world for I've got
a new job, and I think it's I'm reticent to
say it on air because I feel like some people
out there might try and take it from me because
the only qualifications are having hands, Wonker, I wish I got.

(29:00):
That's how it started yesterday. Thank you again for getting
in the spirit of things, Ali. Actually what we were
talking about, of course, was becoming the next hand model
for Domino's Australia.

Speaker 13 (29:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (29:14):
Right, they're on a search of that. We put a
pole up on our stories. You can check out Mix
Adelaide on Instagram asking you if you thought Max had
what it took to be a Domino's next hand model
because your hands are dainty and untouched by hard work.

Speaker 4 (29:29):
I don't do a whole lot of hard work. I'll
be honest. They're nice and tanned thanks to my mother's
olive skin. Got nice nails.

Speaker 3 (29:37):
Yeah, they're very they look like you've buffed them, like
within the last twenty four hours.

Speaker 4 (29:41):
Nice cuticles.

Speaker 3 (29:42):
Yeah. Look, the results are in. Seventy eight percent of
you said yes, but some controversial not voters. We had
Crow's Boy clearly biased as your report man, a member
of our own breakfast team, and George Burfett, your brother my.

Speaker 4 (29:53):
Brother, voted no. That's because he's probablyous.

Speaker 3 (29:56):
Massive shout out to Vicky, who DMed us saying I
thought they were ladies' hands. VICKI, you are not alone.

Speaker 4 (30:01):
Come on, Vicky, Well, I think this is a big
thing for me, and I think that maybe I'd like
to pursue it for those of you that did miss it. Yes,
so they are on the search for someone to All
you got to do is be over the age of eight,
and you just have to be all of their ads
holding the pizzas. And I think it's something that well,
seventy eight percent of Adelaide agrees with Ali. I think
it's something that it's a path that I should go

(30:22):
down and leave you in the dust. So what we
want to do now while I become a hand model
is sort of ask you what you were born for,
what you're made for? What is the weird thing that
you've been recruited for? Because I'm being recruited, driven by
myself because of these hands for the Domino's. Yeah, for

(30:42):
the Domino's hand model. Is there anything in your life
that you've been recruited for?

Speaker 9 (30:47):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (30:48):
Yeah, but things that you didn't So it's things that
you don't really set out to do. So if you's
not what you're born for, it's things that you haven't
set out to do, but it's the stuff that you
just accidentally end up up doing.

Speaker 4 (30:58):
If you started accounting and you came an accountant, good
for you. I don't really care. Have you got something
in your life that maybe just fell into your lap?

Speaker 3 (31:07):
Where do you want to start? Besides ready, go? Where
do you want to start? I was asked to plant
a tree with a politician in Queensland. I was asked
to be in a gas ad when I was at kindergarten.
I was asked to be the judge of misnud World
at the Crazy Horse three years running.

Speaker 4 (31:25):
Now, what were you qualifications for that one?

Speaker 8 (31:29):
Tits?

Speaker 3 (31:31):
Sorry I should say boobies at this time. I'm sorry, sorry,
kids in the car boobies. Yeah, so that sort of stuff,
that sort of stuff. And honestly, with that last one,
I only did it because it included some free bees
and all the cheese and cabana U could eat. Not
making that up, not making that up.

Speaker 4 (31:48):
Any one I do. Three. What have you been recruited
for in your life? Whether it's the ad, whether it's
the judging of Misnude World. Maybe you're a hand model.

Speaker 3 (31:57):
Do you know what my husband gets recruited for all
the time.

Speaker 4 (32:00):
Just underwear model because it looks so good.

Speaker 3 (32:03):
No doing things up high like man. Oh and do
you know what else we get recruited for? Tell me
moving days because we own a trailer and a car
with a toba.

Speaker 4 (32:12):
Oh yeah, that's that's that fun, all right?

Speaker 3 (32:15):
Thirty one O two three We've got a two hundred
dollar Interflower vouch a floora voucher up for grabs. So yes,
you can absolutely get in the head of Mother's Day
if you should wish. Come on, give Max some huts
bar about this. Give him some confidence because he's lacking.
I'll give him some confidence about taking strides into this
new journey for him.

Speaker 4 (32:36):
I am just a shy little boy.

Speaker 2 (32:40):
Max and Allie in the morning.

Speaker 1 (32:41):
Adelaide's Fun Breakfast to mix the one two.

Speaker 3 (32:46):
Right now, we're asking you the weird things you've kind
of accidentally been suddenly recruited for because Max Burford wants
to become a hand model for Domino's Pizza.

Speaker 4 (32:55):
And most of you agree with me. We put a
picture up yesterday. Seventy eight percent of you, I think,
think that I have hands to be your hand model.

Speaker 3 (33:01):
Yeah, but even your brother said no, so I think
he's with a few botes.

Speaker 19 (33:04):
Yeah all right.

Speaker 3 (33:05):
Gaily, Yeah, Gaily from Engle Vale. Okay, so what did
your child nominate you.

Speaker 20 (33:10):
For to be the team soccer manager?

Speaker 4 (33:14):
Oh yeah, you were recruited to be the manager. And
how'd you go with that? Daily?

Speaker 20 (33:19):
I was interesting times put it that way.

Speaker 3 (33:22):
Parents on the sideline suck, Gaily, some do, yes, you do?
Oh man? And it's so much work. I think about
our team manager at footy and the emails and the
kit that you've got to look after.

Speaker 20 (33:36):
Oh yeah, and making sure the kids stay in line
and getting him on and off the pitch in time
when they're running around everywhere.

Speaker 4 (33:45):
The oranges, Gaily, did you go back for a second
season of soccer manager?

Speaker 20 (33:51):
I was actually a soccer manager for my oldest sons
for about four years.

Speaker 3 (33:56):
Oh, well, done a business by then, that's great, let's
go to Wallaroo, Grace.

Speaker 4 (34:04):
What were you recruited for?

Speaker 21 (34:08):
I was recruited to be a dog babysitter.

Speaker 4 (34:13):
Who recruited you to babysit dogs?

Speaker 21 (34:16):
It was actually myself.

Speaker 5 (34:18):
It was just.

Speaker 21 (34:20):
You know, extra cash and it was the worst idea.

Speaker 4 (34:24):
Of my entire Why why.

Speaker 21 (34:28):
I was always looking after kelpies and they are the
worst breeze as you know, they're so energetic and I
think one time I came home and the dog was
on the kitchen bench. I don't know how it got there.

Speaker 3 (34:44):
How long did you last after your self recruitment into dogsitting?

Speaker 21 (34:48):
Oh it wasn't long at all. It was probably a
couple of weeks.

Speaker 4 (34:54):
Recruited yourself your.

Speaker 3 (34:55):
Dog that's from Mount Barker. Okay, what happened?

Speaker 22 (34:59):
So I was at the pub one night playing pool
and there was.

Speaker 4 (35:02):
A guy around. Were their cameras there.

Speaker 19 (35:09):
I think it was the greatest thing ever.

Speaker 22 (35:12):
Mouthing off and got to the point where his brother
came up to me and said, look, so every game
that you beat him, I will buy you a drink
because he was sick of it as well. So essentially
I got a lot of free drinks that night, and
the brother got really really quiet.

Speaker 4 (35:26):
Yeah, yeah, best to shut up a brother.

Speaker 3 (35:31):
I love that. That's one of the good ones.

Speaker 4 (35:33):
Perfect, Thank you.

at me and like, yeah, I said you want to

into Flora Flowers and gifts online deliver the same day

Speaker 3 (39:00):
But it's a very big morning and you've been hearing
a little bit about eight year old Sammy, this beautiful,
wonderful little boy. He unfortunately has an inoperable brain tumor.
And unfortunately it just seems like such a trite word
to use in that, but this thing is the size
of a peach. Now. It was his mum's best friend
who alerted us to this. You're going to meet mum

(39:22):
Ali and little eight year old Sammy right after this.

Speaker 1 (39:26):
That's and Alie in the morning.

Speaker 2 (39:28):
Adelaide's Fun Breaks.

Speaker 6 (39:29):
They show Mix one O two point three Mix one
O two point three ism Max and Ali to the rescue.

Speaker 3 (39:35):
We have been inundated with response since hearing about little
eight year old Sammy and his mum Ali. It all
was courtesy of Ali's best mate Victoria, who wrote into
us and just told us of the struggle that Sammy's had.
He has an inoperable brain tumor and he's done his
last treatment.

Speaker 4 (39:54):
Yeah, there's no more treatment available. Unfortunately for Sammy. That
is the reality he's living with, this reality that his
family living with, and it's reality that his mother in
particular is living with.

Speaker 3 (40:04):
And from one alley to another, welcome And can you
believe we've both got Sammy's No, that's tell me about
your Sammy. What sort of little fella is he?

Speaker 12 (40:16):
Probably, like yours had absolute rocket that doesn't stop. Even
though he's gone got a brain treatment, it still hasn't
changed his outlook on life. And the only time his
energy has kind of waned is when he's been mid
treatments and he's kind of really I've watched him drain
out of him. Some of those moments were pretty down.
But he has more updates at the moment, so that's
really good. And that's why I chose to do the

(40:36):
radiotherapy for the second time. We were off at another trial,
but it's just too much.

Speaker 3 (40:41):
His little body.

Speaker 12 (40:42):
Yeah, it's too very invasive. Even then the treatment. Not
one person in the world has survived it anyway, still trials,
no one, not one person has survived this disease longer
than five or six years.

Speaker 4 (40:52):
So, Sarah, moment that you have had whether it be
recently with this new treatment or maybe a year ago
where you have had to concede in your mind that
you know what, there isn't another option.

Speaker 3 (41:06):
Yeah, do you remember that?

Speaker 12 (41:07):
Yeah, yeah, that was probably not long ago. You kind
of go through, you go through that the whole process
ever since diagnosis day. I concedeed on that very first
day when they said this will end your son's life.
I conceded then, but I was foggy, I was in shock.
I didn't know how to respond. But each time you
see your son vomit, or you see his little body

(41:28):
just too weak to anything, or his hair falling out,
you can see it every time. But I knew that.
I knew the last the first day of the last radio,
second session of radio there and there was no other options.
That I just needed to make sure that and if
some may had a been because of this disease, the
way it deteriorates, it takes things from their children, so

(41:49):
they can't walk, they can't talk, they can't but their
brain is completely cognitive, so they know everything that's happening
to their body. But yeah, so I've just kind of
made sure that while he is still walking and running
and backflipping that we try and maintain that quality of
life as long as possible.

Speaker 3 (42:05):
Ali, can you take me back to when he had
his full at school.

Speaker 12 (42:09):
It was the last day of school on December twenty
twenty two. I've got a phone call. Sam's had a fall.

Speaker 3 (42:14):
Don't worry.

Speaker 12 (42:15):
We've called the ambulance, but don't worry. I'm like, Okay, that's.

Speaker 4 (42:20):
No.

Speaker 12 (42:21):
The school's amazing. But I went down to the school
and Sam the ambulance was there, and so I am
like freaking out. So I go in and they thought
that he looked a bit drunk when he got up, so.

Speaker 3 (42:31):
Then you'd be thinking, oh, he's hid his head concussion.
Did I did everybody?

Speaker 12 (42:35):
And I said, no, it's not concussion, He's just and
he was adamant. He was the last day of school.
They will watch a movie as I have a popcorn,
and he was adamant. I want to stay at school, Mummy.
I want to stay at.

Speaker 3 (42:44):
School, and that's the only reason our kids go to
school so they can have that freaking or Easter.

Speaker 12 (42:51):
Yeah, he was, and he was slurring, but he also
lost his bottom teeth two together at the same time,
so there was a big gap in his natural so
naturally slurring and a bit of what I thought was
from the teeth. Anyway, So we went through Christmas and everything,
and he was I started a new job and he

(43:12):
was staying with his dad, and his dad had said
people had commented that he wasn't quite right. His balance
was still not right, and he's been very active with
sport and things like that, and he's just a bit off.
There was something not right, and I said, can you
take him to a GP? Because he was at murray
Bridge and I said, taken to a GP there. The
GP said, don't know what it is, something not quite right.
Will do a referral for the women's and children's neurology.
Might be three months for an appointment or whatever. And

(43:34):
I just said, I'm not waiting for that. I took
him to the emergency room. That was at seven am.
I was in there and I was told by four
o'clock that afternoon that my son was going to die.

Speaker 3 (43:44):
When you were sitting there at seven am, what were
you thinking?

Speaker 12 (43:47):
I didn't think anything like brain tumor or cancer or
any terminal. Yeah, nothing.

Speaker 4 (43:53):
How do you handle that?

Speaker 3 (43:54):
So then take us to that?

Speaker 12 (43:55):
Okay, So basically in the emergency room. He was bloods
and stuff were taken and they said, we're going to
do there's something not right, so we're going to have
an MRI. Little kids have to be aneath tires for
MRI eyes. So got him already, took him down, and
I was freaking out. I didn't know what the hell
was going on. So then I would go, Okay, come
back and wait for him after his procedure. So I

(44:16):
was waiting and it was taking longer and longer, and
then I heard one of the nurses say, we're just
going to keep him a bit longer while the others
talked to Mum. And then I got taken to a
conference room. I got let into by myself. I got
led into the conference room and was I think there
was about six or eight. One was the oncology registrar,
one was a neurosurgeon, one was a neurologist, one was

(44:40):
They had social workers there.

Speaker 3 (44:41):
So right about now, right now, I'm sitting there and.

Speaker 4 (44:44):
I'm thinking, already know what's going to happen.

Speaker 12 (44:47):
And there was a box of tissues and they just
pushed it in front of me. They just said, okay,
so we found a mass a tumor in Sam's brainstem.
We've done a review with all the other specialists and stuff,
and we're pretty certain that this is a disease called
DIPG diffused intrinsic pontine glioma. It's an inoperable cancer and

(45:08):
it is terminal. It will take your son's life. This
noise came out of me. I think they would have
heard on the whole floor of the hospital. I was
just screaming, and then all the questions just started coming,
and I was sort of asking how long he's got.
And the way it was described to me was it's
like the tumor. Being diffused means it's spread out. And

(45:32):
the way I explain it to people is the brain
stem is like spaghetti. It takes all the strings of
spaghetti tape messages to the body. Involuntary things are a tumor.
Normal tumor be like a meatball. You can kind of
gently spread the spaghetti, take the meatball out. A diffused
tumor is like the spaghetti sauce, so it's everywhere. You
can't you can't scoop it out. I honestly don't remember

(45:55):
a lot from that night. I remember climbing into the
little teeny tiny bed, just cradling him all night and
cuddling and crying. And I was told basically there to
make memories. Just take him home, make memories. It's not
really a lot to offer. And then they did come
back and say, look, we've got this option for you
where we can do a biopsy of the brain. There

(46:16):
are risks of doing a biopsy of the tumor to
find out what mutation, et cetera it is, but if
you want to do a clinical trial, the medication is
about twenty thousand a month. But if you're in a
clinical trial, you don't have to pay for that, but
you have to have the biopsy to get on the
clinical trial.

Speaker 3 (46:31):
So then all of a sudden you're making these So yeah,
we made the decision to do that.

Speaker 12 (46:36):
Unfortunately, that caused a small brain bleed or a stroke,
which affected the right side of his body. So when
he wake up from that anesthetic, he was devastated. He couldn't,
you know, half as fast as face his eye and
obviously the pain from the site.

Speaker 3 (46:49):
I took the girls to see.

Speaker 12 (46:50):
Him and he screamed, They screamed.

Speaker 3 (46:53):
It was just horrific.

Speaker 4 (46:54):
He know much was going on before then, or was
that when he was like, I.

Speaker 3 (46:58):
Did tell him.

Speaker 12 (46:58):
I did say, there's a naughty there's a naughty tumor
naughty lump in your head, and we need to find
out more information about it before we can start to.

Speaker 3 (47:06):
Find out what. You know, we're gonna what we can do.

Speaker 12 (47:08):
I said, we zapped it. We're going to enzap it
with a laser.

Speaker 3 (47:10):
Beans and stuff.

Speaker 12 (47:11):
We can see if we can shrink. You've got a
kid speak it.

Speaker 2 (47:14):
You know.

Speaker 12 (47:14):
It's really hard because he was seven at that time,
and then I went through the whole process of he's
turning eight, he's not going to see you know, he
was sorry six turning seven, didn't think he would make
his eight.

Speaker 3 (47:25):
Ali stick around if you can, because we want to
find out a little bit more about what's next for Sammy,
and more importantly, how every single person listening to this
might be abut to help, even just the smallest way.

Speaker 2 (47:38):
Max and Ali in the morning.

Speaker 1 (47:40):
Adelaide's Fun Breakfast Eye Mix one Mix.

Speaker 6 (47:44):
One two point three from Max and Ali to the Rescue, and.

Speaker 3 (47:48):
We've been joined by another Ali and her eight year
old son, Sammy. Her beautiful Sammy has an inoperable brain tumor.
There is no more treatment to be had. It's fair
to say I have sat here in all listening to
you speak very clearly and openly about what's ahead for
your boys. Is it because you're dealing with it that
makes you so tough and you've toughened yourself to it,

(48:11):
or do you still have moments of the devastation that
everybody can imagine?

Speaker 12 (48:16):
Everyone says that, they say that to all the mums
that have kids that have DIPG or DMG, how strong
they are.

Speaker 3 (48:24):
We're not.

Speaker 12 (48:25):
Most of us have other kids that we have to
You don't get a choice. When you don't get a
choice of something that doesn't it's kind of if I
could run away from it, I definitely would, So that
doesn't really make me strong. I'm trying to teach my
girls though, that Unfortunately, nobody can protect anyone from death.
That's part of life.

Speaker 3 (48:41):
God, that's an early age to learn. Well, they need to.

Speaker 12 (48:44):
They see mommy, they see mummy sad a lot.

Speaker 4 (48:46):
They do.

Speaker 12 (48:47):
It's a sammy seas mummy sad a lot.

Speaker 3 (48:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 12 (48:50):
The sad thing when I get is.

Speaker 3 (48:52):
About the kids, his sisters.

Speaker 12 (48:55):
Yeah, I can't protect anyone from it. And that's what
you want to do as a mum. Yeah, you just
want to protect them and you can't. And it's unfair
pressure on myself too to think that I can, of course,
So I'm trying so hard to teach my girls that
it's okay. It's They say my life is shit, and
I say, yeah it is at the moment. We won't
always be like this, and they need to see that

(49:17):
my mummy's doing it kind of on her own, and
they need to see that you need to be strong
in this world otherwise you will get walked over. So
we need to feel things when we feel them, if
that means cry or scream or punch the pillow or
whatever we need to do. We need to feel it,
we need to process it, and we need to get
up and do it all again tomorrow.

Speaker 3 (49:34):
Repair.

Speaker 12 (49:34):
It's what makes muscles strong. Break them down and repair them.
That's what makes us stronger people. We're going to get
breaken down, but it won't stop me trying to do
the best for my girls. There will be times when
I don't want to call on I.

Speaker 4 (49:45):
Know that through all of that strength, do you ever
allow yourself a moment to be like, why did this
happen to me of anyone.

Speaker 12 (49:53):
Very night when all my kids are sleeping, My Sammy,
why hem yeap? While my girls why Sammy? It's I
get really, really angry because I just feel that we've
been robbed. He's been robbed of his life. The girls
have been robbed of normal happiness.

Speaker 3 (50:10):
For I know they.

Speaker 12 (50:11):
Will go on and live their lives normally and stuff
like that. But you shouldn't have to do with this
so early, this kind of.

Speaker 3 (50:18):
Grief, the life that Sammy and that you wanted for him.
What do you want to grow up and be?

Speaker 12 (50:25):
Oh, he's changed that a few times.

Speaker 3 (50:29):
What's at the range of eighties?

Speaker 12 (50:31):
He's like, make up your mind, kidnap, No, he's At
first he wanted to be in the Air Force because
he wanted to be a helicopter pilot. Good and Sammy,
being Sammy as cheeky as he is, you say, what
do you want to go on? What do you want
to be a helicopter pilot? His exact words were, I
want to blow shit up?

Speaker 8 (50:52):
Then and then.

Speaker 3 (50:53):
Made every seven year old boy wants to do that.
His dad is a trucker.

Speaker 12 (50:58):
Holdens the thirty was a bit of a sailor, mouth.

Speaker 3 (51:01):
You know, it's unfortunate, but it is the way.

Speaker 12 (51:05):
Blowing shit up. And I've always had a massive love
for animals and rescuing animals, and so that's kind of
been passed on to my kids. So Sammy and dogs
or any animals because we've got chickens, dogs, cats, whatever, menagerie. Yeah,
but when he was having radiotherapy, he used to go
and to sit outside with his chickens. He just has
a way of bringing calmness or vibrancy to everyone.

Speaker 3 (51:27):
And so then now it's canine.

Speaker 12 (51:28):
So now he would love to be a canine handler
with the police force.

Speaker 3 (51:31):
So that's his thing.

Speaker 19 (51:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 12 (51:32):
I did say to him, if you go into the
air force, she'll be able to blow shit up and
do the cater Yeah.

Speaker 9 (51:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (51:38):
And then we've just got to sort of work the
dogs in there somehow.

Speaker 3 (51:43):
I don't know. I'll tell you what button push A
burgo is balling. I've been right. So we need to
break and then how about we meet the man of
the moment if we can bring in a little later
on Sammy next with you? Is that? Okay?

Speaker 12 (51:54):
Oh yeah, I have had to tell him he has
a brain humor not Tourette's.

Speaker 4 (51:58):
So I can't, I don't.

Speaker 3 (52:00):
I have no idea what's come out of his mouth?
I apologize. We love it all right, that's going on.

(58:40):
That's next on Mix one or two point three day.

Speaker 2 (58:44):
Max and Ali in the morning.

Speaker 1 (58:45):
Adelaide's Fun Breakfast Ye Mix.

Speaker 2 (58:49):
One two point three Mix.

Speaker 6 (58:51):
One two point three from Max and Ali to the Rescue.

Speaker 3 (58:54):
Yeah, we're actually staying a little bit later. Sorry, Michelle Murphy.
Thanks for letting us steal some of your Airtimes makes.

Speaker 4 (59:00):
For lemon slices yesterday. Cheers.

Speaker 3 (59:02):
It's been a very very special morning because today we
got to meet Sammy, our eight year old little boy
who was diagnosed with what turned out to be an
inoperable brain tumor. And he's finished all of his treatment
now there's nothing more that can be done to help
him like that, So we just want to know more
about him and his mum Ali, So maybe we and
you listening can perhaps help as well.

Speaker 4 (59:24):
And we've just had him with us in here and
you may have picked up he's a little bit sadd See.

Speaker 3 (59:30):
What do you want to be when you grow up?

Speaker 18 (59:32):
Pleasure officer?

Speaker 3 (59:33):
A police officer? Well, well you might have to put
the tim tams down now if you're going to go
and chase some robbers.

Speaker 2 (59:39):
What do you think I would.

Speaker 3 (59:44):
Classic police police gags?

Speaker 4 (59:46):
I love it, It's great. Why do you want to
be a police officer? Are the dogs?

Speaker 3 (59:54):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (59:54):
He's got some sass. He knows exactly what he wants
to do when he grows up. We love it, Alie.

Speaker 3 (59:59):
You have it a little pocket rocket there, don't you.
He is a cheeky monkeys.

Speaker 12 (01:00:04):
And it's almost like he goes from one thing to
the next, to the next, to that ext he doesn't
there's no downtime, So I feel like I'm chasing a
toddler constantly.

Speaker 3 (01:00:12):
Has his behavior changed given that the tumor's in his
brain and you often hear about that sort of stuff,
So you've noticed that definitely.

Speaker 12 (01:00:19):
Yeah, his emotions are all up and down. He like,
he lashes out a lot.

Speaker 3 (01:00:22):
Yeah, well why wouldn't you? Yeah?

Speaker 12 (01:00:24):
Absolutely, And then he doesn't understand his behavior. So then
he gets heartbroken that he's, you know, because on his
safe place. So he lashes out at me the most.
But I mean, I'm an adult. I know he doesn't
mean that he loves me with all his heart. I
know that he's needed full time care and his behavior
has sort of been up and down when he's on steroids.
Steroids is an awful medication, but is required sometimes and

(01:00:45):
it just changes them completely. It changes their look, It
changes and unless it's absolutely necessary. Sam's on cologist had said,
I won't put him back on it because he won't
even look like your son.

Speaker 3 (01:00:54):
He won't change like your child. It changes skin, it
loves hair, comes grow opening.

Speaker 12 (01:00:59):
Yeah, when he was on it for the first lot
of radiotherapy straight off the diagnosis, because there was quite
a lot of inflammation, so they basically put a high
dose of steroids in place to bring it down before
the radiotherapy inflamed it again. But yeah, he you know,
I want to stab you in your sleep and stuff
like that to me, and I was just what and
then but then he would come to me and goes, Mummy,
I'm so so sorry, and he would just break his

(01:01:20):
heart because he doesn't know why he was saying it.

Speaker 4 (01:01:23):
And I suppose you take sos in the facts like
when he's when he's in here and he says the
love you for eternity. That's the bits that you can
live off.

Speaker 12 (01:01:30):
Yeah, absolutely, because there's things that I don't always know
if he's taken in and then he just comes out
with stuff and it's like it's all in there. If
we could do one thing is have done it. You
just made him smile today, that's that's plenty.

Speaker 3 (01:01:44):
Do come on, do more than that?

Speaker 4 (01:01:50):
Smile.

Speaker 3 (01:01:51):
I don't need all on anything.

Speaker 4 (01:01:53):
It sounds like it's all about making memories and having
good days the way.

Speaker 12 (01:01:58):
Yeah, absolutely, because the way that I looked at the moment,
if there's a bill there, you know what, it can wait. Yes,
I'm not working and I'm only on government benefits, but
it's like, if there's a bill there. Because I'm kind
of between a mum and a car, so I have
to but if there's a bill there, then that bill
will wait. I would rather use that money, yep, to
do something with my kids.

Speaker 3 (01:02:16):
How does it feel when you hear him say things
like I want to grow up and be a police
officer and work with the dogs, knowing that that's not
it's not going to happen. How do you deal with that?

Speaker 12 (01:02:27):
It's really tough. It kind of cuts me down because
in my head that's exactly it. It's I want to do
this when I grow up, And in my head, I'm like,
you're not going to grow up.

Speaker 3 (01:02:35):
You're going to stay young forever.

Speaker 4 (01:02:38):
Do you ever have that conversation with him, Hannah.

Speaker 12 (01:02:41):
He knows that I'm in awe of him. He knows
that he's my warrior. He's I have so much respect
for him.

Speaker 3 (01:02:47):
Yeah, at eight years of age.

Speaker 12 (01:02:49):
Yeah, and I mean even besides his diagnosis, you know,
our lives kind of started to get a bit. You know,
my rent was put up one hundred and forty dollars
of a week. I've had issues with cars, and it's
just been one thing after another on top of so
it's been tough. But as long as as long as
they are smiling every day and they don't see me

(01:03:09):
break every day, but I do break every day. I
just want them to be happy as long as possible.
And people have said to me, you need to tell him,
you need to you need to tell Sam that he
needs to be making memories and stuff like that, and
I said to them, I had to get rid of
people like that out of my life because I don't
know how to do this properly.

Speaker 3 (01:03:27):
I just know how to well that can possibly be
a proper way. It's your way and his way. That's
the only thing that matters.

Speaker 12 (01:03:33):
And that's it.

Speaker 3 (01:03:34):
Because it's Sam's ray, we can't presume to know him
and you and your relationship, so it's got to be when.

Speaker 12 (01:03:41):
As I mentioned before, the hospital is the scariest place
in the world for him, and I don't make him
wait when we go there. You know, I know there's
lots of kids in there getting tonsils out, getting this done.
This is it's a bit different, you know. Just I
know the routine. I'm happy to make him follow your rules.
Just don't make him sit in there and wait and
wait and just it. It eats him up. And the
medications and stuff. He doesn't have to have any of

(01:04:03):
that and his words, I feel free.

Speaker 3 (01:04:05):
I'm just going to say this, thirteen one or two
three is our number. Even if people just want to
offer words of encouragement and words of love, that's what
we're here for. In the meantime, ever since we met
Victoria yesterday, we've been making some calls and doing some things.
So just leave it with us for a little bit longer.
But certainly him coming in and smiling this morning is great.

(01:04:29):
But we'd love to do something a little bit more
for him if we can. But we're going to need
everybody's help. So even if it's just a message you
want to send to Ali and little Sammy, if it's
an idea that you have listening to this beautiful family story.
Then please get in touch with us and in the
meantime all of our love. But you haven't seen the
last of us, all right.

Speaker 12 (01:04:49):
Well that's I don't want to see the last. You
just made us feel so welcome and comfortable. It's been amazing.

Speaker 3 (01:04:55):
So just this.

Speaker 12 (01:04:56):
Experience alone was really good.

Speaker 4 (01:04:57):
So yeah, you get you all.

Speaker 3 (01:05:01):
Right now going into Chicken Chef Chips, take your bag
and then go and do the goat carting. But look
after Darling Cohen because he gets get in the dark.
All right. Apparently I didn't even know that.

because we've been introducing you today to little eight year
old Sammy who has an inoperable brain tumor, and listening
to marm Ali. It's all about making memories for him.

you for that offer. That is beautiful. But anybody listening
that might live down there or drive down Addison Road,
get behind Rosa. Look how wonderful a person she is too,
and get in there and buying Rosa. That is just awesome.
I'm sure that would take a bit of the stress
of some of those dinner times.

Speaker 17 (01:06:48):
I would love to help him anywhere I can.

Speaker 4 (01:06:50):
Thank you, Rosa. Hey, how are your chips by the way, Yeah.

and we've got an assortment of incredibly friendly animals that
all sort of mingling together, and they all have a name.
They all know their name and listening. Yesterday I heard
that Sammy just really loved animals, and we thought that
he might like to come for the day and hang
out with the animals. You know, we can do pizzas

(01:08:02):
for lunch. We've got a child's little quad bite with
a helmet that my husband could supervis go for a
little lap on, and I just think you really probably
enjoy it.

you had some personal experience with this before.

half to cancer. Are kidney tumor. There's always been a
lifelong dream of his, which is but purpose that we
wanted the property to be. We're not quite at the
point yet to open up four families, but obviously Sammy
doesn't have time, so but we would like to. David
had incredible support from Total Cancer over the years, and

(01:09:17):
still to this day, even though his son passed away
twenty years ago, he was still feels that he you know,
he could contact them now if you needed to, to
an amazing organization, So we would really Our end goal
here is to have families like Ali and Sammy come
to the property for the day, have picnics and animals,
yeah yeah, and just have a nice day out. So

(01:09:41):
we're just trying to see if we can arrange someone
to I heard yesterdayy likes helicopters, and we're just seeing
the ring around to see if we can get someone
to land a chopper here.

we'll do is we'll give you details, we'll put you
