Robnie kid Now with Choreos the Podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
It's Robin A.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
Kipp Chriots the Podcast coming up at half time. We've
got somebody who called the show after the after nine
o'clock so the show was officially done, but he wanted
to give some feedback, so we're going to get to
him on the on the podcast.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
Yeah, he spake to Key we Todd first, one of
our producers who wound him up.
Speaker 4 (00:31):
That's what we love the most.
Speaker 5 (00:32):
Okay, So I can't wait because I think I know
it's about you.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Well, we'll see at half time.
Speaker 6 (00:39):
Ronie kid Now with Choreos the Podcast.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
We are joined by Keisha Pettitt, who is the host
of a brand new podcast, Cloud, a Life un Cut
production all about eighty HD and and being diagnosed late,
which you were, Keisha, diagnosed late in life.
Speaker 7 (01:02):
Yeah, I was twenty nine when I officially got my diagnosis.
And it's the kind of thing where like, I've looked
back on a lot of my you know, my life
and as a part of the diagnosis, you have to
go through things like your school reports and talk, you know,
talk about your experiences as a kid. Diagnostically, it's before
the age of twelve, and it's kind of become this
(01:22):
thing where I've realized like, oh, this has existed across,
you know, my whole life, but we didn't really know
that it kind of had symptoms like this, We didn't
really know that that's what it was. And at the
age of twenty nine kind of coming to that realization
that like light bulb moment of oh, the whole time
like it was ADHD. That makes so much sense.
Speaker 5 (01:42):
Now obviously I've got it, and I've known my whole life.
My attention span was very short.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
You know.
Speaker 5 (01:49):
That's actually like a pretty good giveaways. You know, straight away,
like you just zone out, you just don't listen.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
So the kids sitting around you in school also suffered. Yeah,
but from your distraction straight away.
Speaker 7 (02:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (02:02):
Right, But then I went off this medication when I
was a bit older, I said to Mamma in mant so.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
Kisha why nine.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (02:11):
I think like what Corey was just saying, in the
sense of for a lot of little boys, like they
predominantly have the hyperactive type of ADHD, so that you know,
inability to sit still, that kind of restlessness, And it
sounds Corey like you found a really good way to
kind of channel that into sport. You know, you made
it work to you. But for a lot of women,
particularly in little girls, we have more of the inattentive
(02:35):
side of ADHD, So that would be more of the
like off with the fairies, you know, inability to kind
of have that hyperactivity come outwards. It's more hyperactivity internally.
And so a lot of us were diagnosed with anxiety conditions,
and that is exactly what happened to me in twenty nineteen.
I was diagnosed with anxiety. And I think, you know,
(02:55):
coming to the diagnosis of ADHD and unpacking the difference
between the way that it can look in little boys
and little girls, Like our understandings of what ADHD is
and the way that it will show up in different
people has really evolved.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
So, Kesh, tell me what was happening in your head, Like,
if you're saying there's this anxiety, you're saying it's more internal,
like as a little girl, it through puberty into becoming
a woman. How are you dealing with this for yourself?
Speaker 7 (03:25):
So some of the symptoms that I displayed, the main
one that I didn't know was associated with ADHD is
the inability to regulate your emotions. So I had this
really like heightened response to rejection or criticism and kind
of this inability to regulate the way that I was feeling.
You know, the current understandings of what causes ADHD mostly
have to do with the way that we process dopamine,
(03:47):
and so that's kind of like your motivation chemical and
going back and looking at my previous experiences and things
like masking behavior, things like just trying to fit in
in the group and do what everyone wanted from me
because my behavior was criticized a lot as a kid.
They're the types of symptoms that I exhibited a lot of.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
I mean, Corey mentioned medication as a kid. What happens
when you're twenty nine and you're diagnosed, Do they put
you straight on a pill or what happens?
Speaker 7 (04:14):
For me? Medication was an incredibly amazing experience. I think
I got quite lucky and I got you know, the
right type, right dose pretty quickly, and it really alleviated
a lot of the burden that I felt like I
was experiencing from ADHD. And it has been a particularly
positive situation for me, and that's not the case for everybody,
(04:37):
Like you know, obviously that will differ depending on the person.
But yeah, I got really lucky in that sense, and
I'm still medicated to this day, but I am also
trying to work on like the other things that I
can be doing to help.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Why did you stop, Corey, Why did you stop medicating? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (04:54):
And mom and that just didn't really like what it
did to me, so like that, it just dub me down. Yeah,
completely a different person. So yeah, when I went to
the boarding school, they you know, I didn't want to
do it and they didn't and they were happy for
me not do it. And then it was Yeah, honestly
it would have been five years ago that I obviously
(05:17):
I just couldn't get out of this low.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
And you know, I went and.
Speaker 5 (05:21):
See any guy and yeah, that was it was. It
was a part of obviously Adie h. When you get low,
you usually can't get out.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
And they were really depression.
Speaker 8 (05:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (05:32):
Yeah, it's just you just feel like just helpless, like
you just don't feel good and you've got no motivation.
Whereas every day I normally would get up like sweet,
I'm just going to go do twenty things out of pointless.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
But yeah, I'm going to go doing a huge list.
Speaker 5 (05:47):
I'd just be over it. I'll just be NonStop until
at the bed, you know.
Speaker 7 (05:52):
And and it was you too, Kisha, kind of kind
of you know, I think that what care is referring
to it often has to do with this, like the
way that we processed dopamine differently, and there are some
studies that say that we have naturally less dopamine in
certain parts of our brain, or it's processed differently, whatever
it is. But that like that lull of being enable
(06:17):
to actually get motivation to do anything is really, really,
really common, and it's definitely something I experienced. And again
I thought that I had depression for a really long time.
I was diagnosed depression and anxiety.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Let's continue this chap.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Sure, there's plenty of people in the car right now
thinking they're describing me or they're describing my kids.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
And there is one statistic that Keisha has that is
going to shock every single parent rowing here now.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
With CoreOS the podcast, we've been talking with Keisha Petitt,
who is the host of a Cloud, a ten part
mini series podcast exploring ADHD, which we know Corey has
battled with over the years, and he's been sitting on
this question for Keisha.
Speaker 5 (07:02):
When I went obviously and seeing my psychiatrist and all that.
It was easy for me, but I still had to
jump through a lot of hoops. It was easy for
me because I got diagnosed a kid. They did say
for people that are actually over a certain age, it's
a lot harder because you weren't diagnosed as a kid.
So some people just go to use it to obviously
try and help them function better and all that sort
(07:24):
of stuff. But I just wanted to was it a
pretty hard process or long process for you with the
diagnosis sort of thing?
Speaker 7 (07:32):
Yeah, I mean quite ironically. So the first step was
that you get a referral from your GP and at
the time, the weightlist I live in Sydney. Now the
weight list was so long that my referral expired before
I was able to get into see a psychiatrist, and.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
They were like, oh my goodness.
Speaker 7 (07:48):
So it can be really really challenging. It's also quite expensive,
Like this is all private psychiatry. There are ways to
go through the public system, and it does vary based
on the state that you're in, but it is a
particularly expensive process. And I think that you know, you
have to acknowledge the privilege in that I could have
forward private care. But a lot of people are not
(08:10):
in that position. They have priorities that are much greater
than you know working out whether they do or don't
have ADHD.
Speaker 5 (08:16):
Yeah, it's not always as easy as you think to
get the diagnosis.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
It sounds like it's a spectrum too, like there's lots
of different levels peace.
Speaker 7 (08:25):
Yeah. Yeah, there's three different types. So there's your hyperactive,
you're inattentive, and then the combined, which is the first
two put together and as a part of the diagnosis. Corey,
you wouldn't have had to do this on your second
one because you were diagnosed as a kid. But like
I said, you have to prove that you have had
the condition from before you were twelve. So for a
lot of people. For me, I got my mum to
(08:46):
fill out quite a lot of paperwork and I mean
like it took her a couple of hours to fill out,
and I was lucky enough to have some old school
reports at her house, so I use those in my
diagnostic process. But not everyone has that, Like you know,
whether they don't have a relationship with their parents, especially
with something like ADHD. You know, a lot of people
are quite dismissive of it being a real thing. You know,
(09:08):
they all kind of say, like, well, we live in
a world now where everyone's distracted, you know, everyone thinks
they've got ADHD, but it's just normal, you know, and
a lot of you know, our parents' generation can.
Speaker 9 (09:18):
Be like that.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
So, Keisha, what is your advice then, because there would
be people listening to this going, I think my child might,
I might. I mean, is there a hereditary component if
you or your partner has been diagnosed, are you're more
likely for your children to be diagnosed?
Speaker 9 (09:35):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (09:35):
So I had a psychiatrist on the podcast, doctor Kieran Kennedy,
and he said that if you have a first degree relative,
you are nine times more likely to get ADHD. So
there is about a sixty percent genetic component to it.
And there was another bit of research from twenty ten
and it estimated that children with undiagnosed ADHD will experience
twenty thousand more criticisms about their behavior by the age
(09:58):
of ten.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
Twenty thousand, Yeah, by ten.
Speaker 7 (10:04):
So my advice to people if they think that their
kid might have ADHD, or even if they themselves are
like looking into a diagnosis process. It has a lot
to do with unpacking this narrative that we have created
about ourselves. You know, you think about that amount of
criticism and how much that would extend into your sense of.
Speaker 6 (10:24):
Who you are the person.
Speaker 7 (10:26):
Yeah, exactly. So whenever I kind of have those conversations
with people now, especially when they're asking about the kids,
I'm like, it's just important for you to understand the
different way that their brain works, so that you can
be more aware of whether you're criticizing a naughty kid
or whether you're criticizing them for something that is just
the way that they're naturally wired. We all seem to
(10:48):
be very forgetful. We have this thing called time blindness,
where you're not really aware of how long you've been
doing something for. We can interrupt, we can elate to things.
Speaker 5 (11:00):
I can honestly sorry, you were spot on. My out
was sport.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Yeah, my high school.
Speaker 5 (11:07):
I don't say I hated my school as in, like
in class I didn't want to be I didn't want
to go I just because of that reason, Like I
always got in trouble, got picked on for being you
know that kid. I just I didn't like it. I
didn't I had the worst experience in school. My only
outward sport. I tried hard to not be at school
as much as I possibly could because of how I
(11:30):
felt about going to every classroom. I just I didn't
want to be there. So that's why it's a great point,
like you'd rather find out.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
One great way to find out if you want to
just test the waters is to check out this podcast Cloud.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
It's a ten part mini series.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Podcast that that Keisha is hosting and it's available on
the iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Thanks he for joining us, Keisha, Thank you, guys, thank
you so much.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
It's Robin and Kip now with Coyot's on Kiss ninety
seven to three. We've been chatting with Keisha, who has
a podcast called Cloud. It's a ten part podcast all
about ADHD, which she suffers from. And we know that
that's close to Corey's heart, who grew up with it,
had his whole life pretty much.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Yeah. Look, and that's the thing.
Speaker 5 (12:37):
People can use it for a really good thing, and
it can also affect you really badly.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
Especially with kids.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
Yeah, and coming up, she has just well, actually, let's
play the statistics and then when we speak to her
you'll hear us unpacking it.
Speaker 7 (12:52):
It was another bit of research from twenty ten and
it estimated that children with undiagnosed ADHD will experience twenty
thousand more criticisms about their behavior by the age of ten.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
There was the word more in there. It's twenty thousand
more criticisms.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
If you want to get involved with this chat four
O nine ninety seven three nine seven three more with
Keisha in just a second, It's Robin and Kip now
with Coreo.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
It's on Kiss ninety seven to three.
Speaker 6 (13:17):
Robin here now with Correos the podcast.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
We've been talking about ADHD over the last half hour,
particularly with Keisha, who's got a new podcast called Cloud
well worth checking out on iHeartRadio or wherever you get
your podcasts. And Corey's opened up and spoken about his
experience from very young with ADHD. And you had time
where you've been medicated, then you stopped and you are
(13:43):
now again.
Speaker 5 (13:44):
I guess there was a lot of study into it
back then. I guess they thought just a quick fix.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
But you went to a small country school too, so
was that we was there more of a focus on
you because there were less.
Speaker 5 (13:55):
Kids on No, I wouldn't think so out there, but
I reckon the whole town was probably high practice, to
be honest.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
But I remember a.
Speaker 5 (14:06):
Lot of my childhood from my high school years. Like
as a younger kid, I remember I used to just
I was still me a lot. But yeah, I remember
when I sort of went off it on my high
school I remember a lot.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
And that's when you.
Speaker 4 (14:21):
Went off medication.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Yeah, but do they calm you down? They make you?
What do they do?
Speaker 8 (14:26):
Back then?
Speaker 5 (14:26):
I'm pretty sure Mum was saying it would calm me down.
But then there'd be days I just wasn't me. I'd
be just like for like too much, way too much.
It just dune me down, way too much. And they
didn't like that. They thought it was really cruel kids
treat you. Yeah, like I said, in primary school and
until grade seven, I used to love it, but probably yeah,
(14:51):
I don't know. But then high school it was really
different for me. Yeah, I get called a drifter all
the time and get called dumb, and yeah I used
to be in trouble every day in every class.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Just when you get.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
Into trouble, did you what did you think about that? Like,
because if you couldn't controlled, I.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Just couldn't help.
Speaker 5 (15:08):
Like they say, don't talk. And I just couldn't not.
I just couldn't stop. I couldn't stopstructing people. They'd put
me at the front next to the teacher's desk, and
I'm just Trmeuterian.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Yeah, because you had to talk. I just I had
to be there.
Speaker 5 (15:22):
I just could not be on my own.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
I just couldn't.
Speaker 5 (15:24):
And yeah, the drifter and all other stuff really hurt
me a lot as a kid. But sport, like I said,
sport for me, I was probably really lucky it was.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
It was my escape from it. Also.
Speaker 4 (15:34):
And yeah, no.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
One could question how good you were. I guess I'll
let you do whatever you needed to do.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Yeah, Clint out of clear mountains on the phone.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
Now are you have you.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
Got a d D yourself? Clint?
Speaker 10 (15:47):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
And so this conversation we've been having with Keisha, how's
it feel?
Speaker 10 (15:54):
Yeah, spot on, She's exactly right. We just said I
even I got two three. Like primary school, high school,
I was a village idiot. I didn't know anything.
Speaker 5 (16:05):
I was.
Speaker 10 (16:07):
I remember one time there was we used to line
up in primary school. We used to line up for
the library and all the kids to be there. And
I asked me, what's the capital, this, this state or whatever.
I don't know, and I'd say, I just laugh, manute,
because I got it wrong. I was in right grade
five or six. So it just it just it hurts
(16:32):
because you are that that you are different. But I
saw it as an ability and not a disability because
in other aspects, like like coy he chose sport for me,
it was more hands on stuff like I could put
an injured apart and put it back to go again.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
It is your superpower, it absolutely is. Joshav Logan, Hi, Hi,
good you guys moved from New Zealand.
Speaker 11 (16:58):
Yeah, we just moved here in June last year.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
Nice welcome mate, I think you.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 11 (17:05):
My partner she's been diagnosed at EHD when she was younger.
My oldest son he was also diagnosed when he was six.
And now that we've moved here, we've found that we
have to get our eldest son rediagnosed just to access
to medication he needs.
Speaker 4 (17:19):
Oh that's ridiculous.
Speaker 11 (17:20):
Really Yeah, So the same pediatrician that diagnosed them in
New Zealand can come over here and practice straight away.
But the diagnosis can't travel, isn't it. So we're on
a waiting list that we were told it could be
about eighteen months. I concern was the oldest one. He's
just started high school this year, and we noticed when
the primary school he was falling well behind until he
(17:42):
was medicated and he caught back up. And they're my concerned,
is waiting this long he's just going to start falling
behind and how long in high school is they're going
to take him to catch back up?
Speaker 1 (17:53):
And it's because what the drugs have a value on
the black market, don't they.
Speaker 5 (17:56):
They they I just thought maybe being already diagnosed would
have jumped the Q and be like, yeah, yeah, you
need to go see these people really quickly.
Speaker 11 (18:06):
I've got all the letters from the hospital back home,
and the doctors have pretty much told me here, there's
nothing we can do about it. You have to get
a rediagnosed.
Speaker 7 (18:15):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
I mean, there's so many comments coming through on our
text LINEO for a nine nine seven three nine seven three.
I had my ten year old son diagnosed with add
but his mother, my ex wife, don't let him.
Speaker 4 (18:25):
Take the medication. Yeah, you've got all that stuff with
separated parents.
Speaker 6 (18:29):
Yes, now with courios the podcast.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
Okay, So Jackie and Ryan on maths. It's actually going
to happen tonight at the commitments ceremony. But basically these
two are just a train wreck, and she is. You
know that thing they say about Sydney is that people
sometimes people don't cross the bridge.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Yes, this is Jackie right.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
So the northern suburbs of Sydney are very well to
do and wealthy. Yeah, and there's often a thing that
the people from the north of the bridge don't come
to the south of the bridge where the westerns interesting.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
Even though she came all the way from New Zealand.
Speaker 4 (19:03):
Apparently she can still be pretentious.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
So she's from Manly. Ryan is from the southwest of Sydney. Okay,
but yeah, he it's got so bad that finally I
think he's just had enough.
Speaker 4 (19:16):
And this is Jackie's comment. I don't lose people. People
lose me.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
So hard to like.
Speaker 4 (19:24):
I know she no, no, no, she really just can't.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
Don't like, you can't think.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
Of your life not being heartbroken. It's a right of passage.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
Okay, Corey, So you've never been I've never had someone goy. Hey,
it's it's not me, you know. I just need time
and I need you to leave my life.
Speaker 4 (19:46):
Look at him.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
He's really looking, he's really thinking, and I'd be like, okay, yeah, well.
Speaker 4 (19:51):
It's not someone you cared about it.
Speaker 5 (19:53):
I don't know, but it's more though. I never used
to think I was a cat, so I trust me, Like, yeah,
that's not the questions like have you ever have you
ever had someone break up with you and you were
devastated in your cry?
Speaker 3 (20:03):
And okay beforeteke and obviously yeah, because your life is amazing.
Speaker 5 (20:07):
I had one.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
GF a grand final, Yeah, okay, and one second.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
Would have absolutely broken every like grade six, grade seven,
grade eight, grade nine, grade ten girl's heart.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Oh I was. I was a sweeter the other way,
if you've.
Speaker 5 (20:24):
Ever been heartbroken, then you're broken like a breaking heart
right now.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
That I mean, you and I should probably compare notes.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
I've got so much heartbreak, good grief a per we
go back.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
Down on a percentage more heartbreak than breaking.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
No, I reckon, I'd be about even. And I think
it is good for you.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
I think it is. The heartbreak is as awful as
it is. You do definitely learn things.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
And if you and when you're with someone that's been
heartbroken as well, I think they've they've had to go
through some growth, you know what I mean, so that
they're better off.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
Yeah, and you have an empathy and anunderstanding of what
it feels like. Yeah, I mean, I mean if Jackie
can go through her entire life never being heartbroken, then
she is as pretentious as we all.
Speaker 4 (21:09):
Think she is.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
Yeah, what's your what's your stand on?
Speaker 4 (21:11):
What's your my ratio?
Speaker 3 (21:14):
I reckon, Well, I've got I've got the added bonus
of you know, it doesn't that's kind of heartbreak, but in.
Speaker 4 (21:22):
A different way. I'm about fifty to fifty two.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
And I don't.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
I don't think I'm a great catch, So you know,
I think there are times that that's been proven, you know,
over the years. And when I was online dating, it
was I broke up with one and the other and
another one broke up with me.
Speaker 4 (21:39):
So that was a fifty to fifty Yeah, when we
actually tried to do something, you can't be even.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
I'm about even, although I know it's a bit like
George Costanzo when they when they try that it's not you,
it's me.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
Okay, come on, I know it's me, and they just go, yeah, it's.
Speaker 6 (22:00):
Robin here now with Choreos the podcast.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Halfway through the podcast, Well, this is really good news.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Someone's got feedback, which for which one of us?
Speaker 4 (22:11):
It's usually that.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
Jeff out of Bourbon Garyer, Jeff, how are you good mane?
Speaker 2 (22:18):
You've got some feedback, it says.
Speaker 12 (22:20):
Here, Yes, I have got some feedback. Kip. I have
been in the car from six thty this morning and
I've drepped him back. And you have said, Robin, Kip
with coreotes seventeen times. Do you know how annoying it
sounds on the radio.
Speaker 13 (22:37):
That's his job, Robin, Robin, Robin.
Speaker 12 (22:45):
I think the world of you. I've followed you all
around for years. Please please don't destroy it.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
For me, don't ruin you. Just let him have his moments.
Speaker 12 (22:56):
And as for you, Kip, Jeff seventeen times. Yeah, what's
one thing that annoys the ship out of you?
Speaker 2 (23:05):
What? What?
Speaker 12 (23:05):
What you're telling me? What annoy is the ship out
of you?
Speaker 2 (23:10):
There's a lot of things, Jeff, Sure, I'm sure there is.
But yeah, I'll tell you. You want a story.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
I had a kid the other day at the checkout,
who was you know, he's the checkout bloke and he
was on his phone while he was supposed to be
scanning my groceries.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Now, that is the way the ship had oft tell
me about it. People that aren't concentrating on their.
Speaker 13 (23:26):
Jobs, and people how many how many people these days
can't look you in the eyes. Ah, yes, yeah, So
did you realize that you're saying is that many times?
Speaker 12 (23:38):
Kid?
Speaker 1 (23:39):
I do realize that it is actually part of my job,
because right, yeah, part of your job, because the idea
of Jeff is that we have quite a lot, quite
a lot of people turning over in the morning.
Speaker 12 (23:52):
Didn't get in.
Speaker 5 (23:53):
Trouble for not saying it enough that I did.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
I got called into a meeting for not saying it enough.
Speaker 12 (23:59):
Jeff, talk to the elbow, talk to him, Talk to
the elbow, because you're not worth the extension. You know
what I have called. I have tried for probably five years.
I've tried many competitions. I've tried to win some cash.
I've tried everything, and I've never ever been able to
(24:21):
get through. And this morning I thought, holy hell, he
answered the phone. Somebody answered the phone. And the guy
that answered the phone said, Oh, this is hilarious to
put you onto the guys. And I said, you're joking.
I said, for years, I've been trying to get on
your radio.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
And this was he did hang in there, Jiff.
Speaker 12 (24:46):
I didn't say hanging Giff, you didn't.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
What are you going to do is I'll tell you
how you get through the show. You just got a ship,
can me?
Speaker 2 (24:53):
Jeff? That's straight to the front of the line at less.
Speaker 12 (24:57):
You're a good sport kid. Yeah, you've got to have
a sense of shame in this world. That's one thing.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
That's like, what would you like for us to how
would you like me to shorten it?
Speaker 1 (25:07):
Just because I do have to say who we are
when I open the mic, So how would you like
it shortened? Have you got any ideas?
Speaker 2 (25:12):
Jeff?
Speaker 12 (25:14):
No, not really.
Speaker 4 (25:17):
I mean that's that's a good reason.
Speaker 12 (25:20):
And I fully understand that that's your job.
Speaker 5 (25:22):
Do you wanted to just go it's it's just Robin
and Corey?
Speaker 12 (25:25):
You do one?
Speaker 4 (25:27):
You know what's funny?
Speaker 2 (25:29):
You do it?
Speaker 3 (25:32):
Do you know what's really funny is And I know
him quite well because I look at him all day
every day. But the name he tends to struggle with
is his own.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
I forget it all the time.
Speaker 3 (25:44):
He knows he's got to go from Robin to Corey
and then he forgets.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
He's in the middle, lost in the middle.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
And you'll notice now that I say that there'll be
a slight hesitation. Is his little brain wheels, the little
mouse inside his head is going.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
Good Jeffs.
Speaker 12 (26:06):
But I have to say that that ADHD thing was
very informative and I think that's going to help a
lot of people, I hope. So yeah, I'm a mental health,
drug and alcohol support worker, so dealing with those sort
of things and is quite challenging when you're dealing with
people with an addiction or some sort of illness that
(26:30):
never been diagnosed. So you know, that was just fascinating
and just amazing to hear. And Robin, you didn't say much.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
Why because I think.
Speaker 3 (26:39):
In these moments you've got to let someone who really
knows what they're talking about talk.
Speaker 4 (26:43):
And it's Corey's story too, like it's not mine.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
So one of the greatest gifts this job will give
you is the capacity to listen rather than.
Speaker 12 (26:51):
Speak, and also to take the piss out of it.
Thank you for being a good sport Records. When I
did call the guys said look, you've got it. I've
got to put onto him and go hard. That I
didn't think I was. I didn't go to You've got
(27:15):
to have a sense of humor in this world. So
thank you. Okay, bye Ron.

I've discussed already, and my youngest son, Piper, lost his phone, right,
and so he was like, can someone ring the phone?
Speaker 4 (27:44):

turned out that it was right beside me.

we're wearing our jawts today, jean shorts. It's really it's
instantly take in my motivation for the day. I just
feel like just hanging out and sitting on the phone
(33:06):
not talking to you guys.
Speaker 4 (33:08):
And that's a fashion selection for you particularly.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
Don't don't do it.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
I know I've got a feeling because Naomi, my partner,
likes she likes me. We're in the shorter shorts. So
I've got a feeling these are not going to get
the tick of that.
Speaker 4 (33:21):
No I can guarantee.
Speaker 3 (33:23):
But we all like, yeah, if you missed yesterday, because
this will make sense to no one if they've just
tuned in. We were laughing about the fact that jorts
are the new great fashion item.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
Yeah, A Lanta just showed me on like the Google trends,
the amount of searches for jaorts in the last six
months is just through the roots.
Speaker 4 (33:41):
And that is gene shorts. Well, actually gene is.
Speaker 1 (33:46):
It's not giant because that's that's that's.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
It's yeah, it's and they are.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
I mean people like you, Billie Eilish and even Lola
who were just played like they're bringing the jaorts back
in as they just wear them at all times, regardless
of the humidity.
Speaker 4 (34:03):
So I don't understand the humidity question.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
But anyway, because there's things, there's things in here that
need to because.
Speaker 2 (34:11):
They can't breathe. It's too big. It's a blanket.
Speaker 4 (34:16):
If you wear jeans, it's the same thing jeans.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
If it's hot. Certainly I don't. I'm not going to
go and play a bit. It's frisbee and jeans.
Speaker 5 (34:22):
I'd wear these.
Speaker 4 (34:24):
Well, you like, it looked really good.
Speaker 3 (34:28):
We are videoing on this for social media, but the
idea was for us to just see what it felt
like to you know, cool crowd as opposed to.
Speaker 1 (34:37):
What we are.
Speaker 2 (34:37):
Dragon Corey looks like an undercover kite.
Speaker 5 (34:40):
One of those those key things.
Speaker 4 (34:43):
You look like a skateboarder.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
Yeah, good, try and knark.
Speaker 4 (34:45):
No, No one will.
Speaker 3 (34:48):
Be surprised that I actually had a pair in my
robe from the nineties.
Speaker 2 (34:52):
From Let's Wear Chorts.
Speaker 3 (34:55):
Rob's the second hand that I bought from the nineties.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
These are legit, you know, we didn't know draws that
own them. I do have some memory of these from
back in my skater of days, long time with Vans,
did you yeah, with the Vans with the cons actually the.
Speaker 2 (35:15):
Chucks, Yeah, elbow guards and they didn't wear That's not cool, Cory.
Speaker 3 (35:20):
Look at me, and again these two are wearing theirs
with T shirts and hats backwards, which we all have.
Speaker 4 (35:28):
But I've got heels in a jacket on.
Speaker 2 (35:30):
Double denim drawts. Is that allowed?
Speaker 4 (35:32):
Excuse me?
Speaker 3 (35:33):
Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake when they were dating and
they went to the MTV Music Awards in double denim.
They revolutionized And that was in the nineties.
Speaker 2 (35:41):
Okay, I'm sorry, apologized.
Speaker 6 (35:43):
I was going to say when was that.
Speaker 2 (35:46):
I feel like it was a while. I'm not sure.
I'm not sure if the rule lasts forever.
Speaker 3 (35:51):
Shuts are coming back because of the nineties.
Speaker 4 (35:54):
It's nostalgia.
Speaker 2 (35:56):
It's not all coming back.
Speaker 6 (36:02):
Row Kid Now with Courios the podcast.
Speaker 1 (36:07):
Something That's Happening. This came out on my Facebook page.
I saw this about five days ago now, a post
from the bowlow the Blimber BOWLO Blimber Memorial Bowls Club
closed until further notice, and they put a message out
on that saying, you know, thanks everyone for all their support,
but unfortunately where we can't afford to stay open.
Speaker 4 (36:28):
You love that place, I do. Did you go there
with Raffie all the time?
Speaker 2 (36:31):
Like Sunday afternoons you go there. You can have a beer.
Speaker 1 (36:34):
There's a bouncy castle, there's a spare green that the
kids run around on like. It's such a great sort
of family area and a cheap.
Speaker 2 (36:43):
It's a cheap playground. Beers are like seven dollars or less.
Speaker 1 (36:47):
Wow, and which is probably not surprising that that they're insolvent,
but so they're they're struggling, but there is a lifeline.
They put out a go fundme and they need to
raise twenty five grand just to.
Speaker 2 (36:59):
Keep the doors open.
Speaker 1 (37:00):
And then we're talking with the secretary of the Blimber
Bowls Club, who I know is very passionate about keeping
it alive.
Speaker 2 (37:07):
His name is Sam O'Brien. He joins us now morning.
Speaker 1 (37:09):
Sam, morning, Kip. How are you mate, I'm good, I'm sad.
I'm sad that this is that this could be the end.
So what what do you what do you put it
down to? Why why do you reckon?
Speaker 2 (37:20):
We're in this position?
Speaker 9 (37:22):
So I think in the past, with previous management, we've
had a poor budget plan which didn't reflect like weekly turnover. Right,
so expenses when it came to staff, spending, food and everything,
we're way too high. And just kept kept putting.
Speaker 2 (37:41):
Us in that because it's not run by businessman, right.
Speaker 1 (37:43):
It's the whole thing is it's a community based project,
so the people in charge are not necessarily you know,
business people.
Speaker 9 (37:50):
Yeah, well, we're not for profit club. And with the
management board. We're all volunteers, some of which are business owners. Myself,
I'm not. I'm only nineteen. I work on the wharf.
Speaker 3 (38:03):
Oh oh wow, Sam, So you're like passionate about the Blimberbolo.
Speaker 9 (38:09):
Yeah, well it's not only for me, but it's it's
kind of the history that comes through it. The big
one that I've been speaking about in the past week
is the Beckett family. They actually built the Greens, and
the grandsons and great grandsons of that family. He'll come
down to a club to this day.
Speaker 4 (38:29):
Okay, we need to save it. So what do we
need to do? What do you need?
Speaker 9 (38:33):
So the big thing is, well, obviously the money. Without
the money, how much much? So we have an ATO
unresolved ATO expense of about twenty five thousand. So that's
the first goal is to reach fifty percent of that
fifty k target can start training again.
Speaker 1 (38:54):
Yeah, because you can't make money until you open the door.
So you need twenty five grand and what's the go
fundme at at this stage?
Speaker 9 (39:01):
So I woke up this morning and we've just gone
over ten k.
Speaker 1 (39:05):
That's good, that's a great start. So we need another
fifteen so we can open up this weekend.
Speaker 2 (39:10):
Yeah, okay, and were.
Speaker 4 (39:12):
Did just find it on as it under Blimba bolo.
Speaker 8 (39:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (39:16):
So if you if you search up go fund me
and you can search all the all the different campaigns
that are up.
Speaker 2 (39:23):
Yep.
Speaker 9 (39:24):
If you look up our local funding campaign slogan which
just save our Blimber BOWLO, it'll come up and it's
got our logo as the picture.
Speaker 2 (39:33):
Okay, we'll put.
Speaker 4 (39:34):
That on our socials.
Speaker 3 (39:35):
You'll put the go Fundme on our socials at KS
ninety seven to three, and so that can give it.
Speaker 4 (39:40):
A bit of a bigger push.
Speaker 1 (39:42):
Yeah, And if we can get the doors open on Friday,
we'll talk to you again on Friday. If we can
get open again for the weekend, then let's get down
there and have a few beers.
Speaker 2 (39:50):
Everyone. Just keep the thing on, do you reckon? You
could do that for us, Cory?
Speaker 1 (39:54):
Yeah, all right, So good on your Sam for even
the dream alive, mate and best of luck.
Speaker 2 (40:02):
We'll keep everyone posted with how it's going.

Speaker 1 (00:15):
Kipp Chriots the Podcast coming up at half time. We've

o'clock so the show was officially done, but he wanted

Speaker 3 (00:26):
Yeah, he spake to Key we Todd first, one of
our producers who wound him up.
Speaker 4 (00:31):
That's what we love the most.
Speaker 5 (00:32):
Okay, So I can't wait because I think I know
it's about you.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Well, we'll see at half time.
Speaker 6 (00:39):
Ronie kid Now with Choreos the Podcast.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
We are joined by Keisha Pettitt, who is the host
of a brand new podcast, Cloud, a Life un Cut
production all about eighty HD and and being diagnosed late,
which you were, Keisha, diagnosed late in life.
Speaker 7 (01:02):
Yeah, I was twenty nine when I officially got my diagnosis.
And it's the kind of thing where like, I've looked
back on a lot of my you know, my life
and as a part of the diagnosis, you have to
go through things like your school reports and talk, you know,
talk about your experiences as a kid. Diagnostically, it's before
the age of twelve, and it's kind of become this
(01:22):
thing where I've realized like, oh, this has existed across,
you know, my whole life, but we didn't really know
that it kind of had symptoms like this, We didn't
really know that that's what it was. And at the
age of twenty nine kind of coming to that realization
that like light bulb moment of oh, the whole time
like it was ADHD. That makes so much sense.
Speaker 5 (01:42):
Now obviously I've got it, and I've known my whole life.
My attention span was very short.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
You know.
Speaker 5 (01:49):
That's actually like a pretty good giveaways. You know, straight away,
like you just zone out, you just don't listen.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
So the kids sitting around you in school also suffered. Yeah,
but from your distraction straight away.
Speaker 7 (02:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (02:02):
Right, But then I went off this medication when I
was a bit older, I said to Mamma in mant so.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
Kisha why nine.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (02:11):
I think like what Corey was just saying, in the
sense of for a lot of little boys, like they
predominantly have the hyperactive type of ADHD, so that you know,
inability to sit still, that kind of restlessness, And it
sounds Corey like you found a really good way to
kind of channel that into sport. You know, you made
it work to you. But for a lot of women,
particularly in little girls, we have more of the inattentive
(02:35):
side of ADHD, So that would be more of the
like off with the fairies, you know, inability to kind
of have that hyperactivity come outwards. It's more hyperactivity internally.
And so a lot of us were diagnosed with anxiety conditions,
and that is exactly what happened to me in twenty nineteen.
I was diagnosed with anxiety. And I think, you know,
(02:55):
coming to the diagnosis of ADHD and unpacking the difference
between the way that it can look in little boys
and little girls, Like our understandings of what ADHD is
and the way that it will show up in different
people has really evolved.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
So, Kesh, tell me what was happening in your head, Like,
if you're saying there's this anxiety, you're saying it's more internal,
like as a little girl, it through puberty into becoming
a woman. How are you dealing with this for yourself?
Speaker 7 (03:25):
So some of the symptoms that I displayed, the main
one that I didn't know was associated with ADHD is
the inability to regulate your emotions. So I had this
really like heightened response to rejection or criticism and kind
of this inability to regulate the way that I was feeling.
You know, the current understandings of what causes ADHD mostly
have to do with the way that we process dopamine,
(03:47):
and so that's kind of like your motivation chemical and
going back and looking at my previous experiences and things
like masking behavior, things like just trying to fit in
in the group and do what everyone wanted from me
because my behavior was criticized a lot as a kid.
They're the types of symptoms that I exhibited a lot of.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
I mean, Corey mentioned medication as a kid. What happens
when you're twenty nine and you're diagnosed, Do they put
you straight on a pill or what happens?
Speaker 7 (04:14):
For me? Medication was an incredibly amazing experience. I think
I got quite lucky and I got you know, the
right type, right dose pretty quickly, and it really alleviated
a lot of the burden that I felt like I
was experiencing from ADHD. And it has been a particularly
positive situation for me, and that's not the case for everybody,
(04:37):
Like you know, obviously that will differ depending on the person.
But yeah, I got really lucky in that sense, and
I'm still medicated to this day, but I am also
trying to work on like the other things that I
can be doing to help.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Why did you stop, Corey, Why did you stop medicating? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (04:54):
And mom and that just didn't really like what it
did to me, so like that, it just dub me down. Yeah,
completely a different person. So yeah, when I went to
the boarding school, they you know, I didn't want to
do it and they didn't and they were happy for
me not do it. And then it was Yeah, honestly
it would have been five years ago that I obviously
(05:17):
I just couldn't get out of this low.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
And you know, I went and.
Speaker 5 (05:21):
See any guy and yeah, that was it was. It
was a part of obviously Adie h. When you get low,
you usually can't get out.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
And they were really depression.
Speaker 8 (05:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (05:32):
Yeah, it's just you just feel like just helpless, like
you just don't feel good and you've got no motivation.
Whereas every day I normally would get up like sweet,
I'm just going to go do twenty things out of pointless.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
But yeah, I'm going to go doing a huge list.
Speaker 5 (05:47):
I'd just be over it. I'll just be NonStop until
at the bed, you know.
Speaker 7 (05:52):
And and it was you too, Kisha, kind of kind
of you know, I think that what care is referring
to it often has to do with this, like the
way that we processed dopamine differently, and there are some
studies that say that we have naturally less dopamine in
certain parts of our brain, or it's processed differently, whatever
it is. But that like that lull of being enable
(06:17):
to actually get motivation to do anything is really, really,
really common, and it's definitely something I experienced. And again
I thought that I had depression for a really long time.
I was diagnosed depression and anxiety.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Let's continue this chap.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Sure, there's plenty of people in the car right now
thinking they're describing me or they're describing my kids.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
And there is one statistic that Keisha has that is
going to shock every single parent rowing here now.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
With CoreOS the podcast, we've been talking with Keisha Petitt,
who is the host of a Cloud, a ten part
mini series podcast exploring ADHD, which we know Corey has
battled with over the years, and he's been sitting on
this question for Keisha.
Speaker 5 (07:02):
When I went obviously and seeing my psychiatrist and all that.
It was easy for me, but I still had to
jump through a lot of hoops. It was easy for
me because I got diagnosed a kid. They did say
for people that are actually over a certain age, it's
a lot harder because you weren't diagnosed as a kid.
So some people just go to use it to obviously
try and help them function better and all that sort
(07:24):
of stuff. But I just wanted to was it a
pretty hard process or long process for you with the
diagnosis sort of thing?
Speaker 7 (07:32):
Yeah, I mean quite ironically. So the first step was
that you get a referral from your GP and at
the time, the weightlist I live in Sydney. Now the
weight list was so long that my referral expired before
I was able to get into see a psychiatrist, and.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
They were like, oh my goodness.
Speaker 7 (07:48):
So it can be really really challenging. It's also quite expensive,
Like this is all private psychiatry. There are ways to
go through the public system, and it does vary based
on the state that you're in, but it is a
particularly expensive process. And I think that you know, you
have to acknowledge the privilege in that I could have
forward private care. But a lot of people are not
(08:10):
in that position. They have priorities that are much greater
than you know working out whether they do or don't
have ADHD.
Speaker 5 (08:16):
Yeah, it's not always as easy as you think to
get the diagnosis.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
It sounds like it's a spectrum too, like there's lots
of different levels peace.
Speaker 7 (08:25):
Yeah. Yeah, there's three different types. So there's your hyperactive,
you're inattentive, and then the combined, which is the first
two put together and as a part of the diagnosis. Corey,
you wouldn't have had to do this on your second
one because you were diagnosed as a kid. But like
I said, you have to prove that you have had
the condition from before you were twelve. So for a
lot of people. For me, I got my mum to
(08:46):
fill out quite a lot of paperwork and I mean
like it took her a couple of hours to fill out,
and I was lucky enough to have some old school
reports at her house, so I use those in my
diagnostic process. But not everyone has that, Like you know,
whether they don't have a relationship with their parents, especially
with something like ADHD. You know, a lot of people
are quite dismissive of it being a real thing. You know,
(09:08):
they all kind of say, like, well, we live in
a world now where everyone's distracted, you know, everyone thinks
they've got ADHD, but it's just normal, you know, and
a lot of you know, our parents' generation can.
Speaker 9 (09:18):
Be like that.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
So, Keisha, what is your advice then, because there would
be people listening to this going, I think my child might,
I might. I mean, is there a hereditary component if
you or your partner has been diagnosed, are you're more
likely for your children to be diagnosed?
Speaker 9 (09:35):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (09:35):
So I had a psychiatrist on the podcast, doctor Kieran Kennedy,
and he said that if you have a first degree relative,
you are nine times more likely to get ADHD. So
there is about a sixty percent genetic component to it.
And there was another bit of research from twenty ten
and it estimated that children with undiagnosed ADHD will experience
twenty thousand more criticisms about their behavior by the age
(09:58):
of ten.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
Twenty thousand, Yeah, by ten.
Speaker 7 (10:04):
So my advice to people if they think that their
kid might have ADHD, or even if they themselves are
like looking into a diagnosis process. It has a lot
to do with unpacking this narrative that we have created
about ourselves. You know, you think about that amount of
criticism and how much that would extend into your sense of.
Speaker 6 (10:24):
Who you are the person.
Speaker 7 (10:26):
Yeah, exactly. So whenever I kind of have those conversations
with people now, especially when they're asking about the kids,
I'm like, it's just important for you to understand the
different way that their brain works, so that you can
be more aware of whether you're criticizing a naughty kid
or whether you're criticizing them for something that is just
the way that they're naturally wired. We all seem to
(10:48):
be very forgetful. We have this thing called time blindness,
where you're not really aware of how long you've been
doing something for. We can interrupt, we can elate to things.
Speaker 5 (11:00):
I can honestly sorry, you were spot on. My out
was sport.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Yeah, my high school.
Speaker 5 (11:07):
I don't say I hated my school as in, like
in class I didn't want to be I didn't want
to go I just because of that reason, Like I
always got in trouble, got picked on for being you
know that kid. I just I didn't like it. I
didn't I had the worst experience in school. My only
outward sport. I tried hard to not be at school
as much as I possibly could because of how I
(11:30):
felt about going to every classroom. I just I didn't
want to be there. So that's why it's a great point,
like you'd rather find out.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
One great way to find out if you want to
just test the waters is to check out this podcast Cloud.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
It's a ten part mini series.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Podcast that that Keisha is hosting and it's available on
the iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Thanks he for joining us, Keisha, Thank you, guys, thank
you so much.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
It's Robin and Kip now with Coyot's on Kiss ninety
seven to three. We've been chatting with Keisha, who has
a podcast called Cloud. It's a ten part podcast all
about ADHD, which she suffers from. And we know that
that's close to Corey's heart, who grew up with it,
had his whole life pretty much.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Yeah. Look, and that's the thing.
Speaker 5 (12:37):
People can use it for a really good thing, and
it can also affect you really badly.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
Especially with kids.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
Yeah, and coming up, she has just well, actually, let's
play the statistics and then when we speak to her
you'll hear us unpacking it.
Speaker 7 (12:52):
It was another bit of research from twenty ten and
it estimated that children with undiagnosed ADHD will experience twenty
thousand more criticisms about their behavior by the age of ten.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
There was the word more in there. It's twenty thousand
more criticisms.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
If you want to get involved with this chat four
O nine ninety seven three nine seven three more with
Keisha in just a second, It's Robin and Kip now
with Coreo.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
It's on Kiss ninety seven to three.
Speaker 6 (13:17):
Robin here now with Correos the podcast.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
We've been talking about ADHD over the last half hour,
particularly with Keisha, who's got a new podcast called Cloud
well worth checking out on iHeartRadio or wherever you get
your podcasts. And Corey's opened up and spoken about his
experience from very young with ADHD. And you had time
where you've been medicated, then you stopped and you are
(13:43):
now again.
Speaker 5 (13:44):
I guess there was a lot of study into it
back then. I guess they thought just a quick fix.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
But you went to a small country school too, so
was that we was there more of a focus on
you because there were less.
Speaker 5 (13:55):
Kids on No, I wouldn't think so out there, but
I reckon the whole town was probably high practice, to
be honest.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
But I remember a.
Speaker 5 (14:06):
Lot of my childhood from my high school years. Like
as a younger kid, I remember I used to just
I was still me a lot. But yeah, I remember
when I sort of went off it on my high
school I remember a lot.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
And that's when you.
Speaker 4 (14:21):
Went off medication.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Yeah, but do they calm you down? They make you?
What do they do?
Speaker 8 (14:26):
Back then?
Speaker 5 (14:26):
I'm pretty sure Mum was saying it would calm me down.
But then there'd be days I just wasn't me. I'd
be just like for like too much, way too much.
It just dune me down, way too much. And they
didn't like that. They thought it was really cruel kids
treat you. Yeah, like I said, in primary school and
until grade seven, I used to love it, but probably yeah,
(14:51):
I don't know. But then high school it was really
different for me. Yeah, I get called a drifter all
the time and get called dumb, and yeah I used
to be in trouble every day in every class.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Just when you get.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
Into trouble, did you what did you think about that? Like,
because if you couldn't controlled, I.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Just couldn't help.
Speaker 5 (15:08):
Like they say, don't talk. And I just couldn't not.
I just couldn't stop. I couldn't stopstructing people. They'd put
me at the front next to the teacher's desk, and
I'm just Trmeuterian.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Yeah, because you had to talk. I just I had
to be there.
Speaker 5 (15:22):
I just could not be on my own.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
I just couldn't.
Speaker 5 (15:24):
And yeah, the drifter and all other stuff really hurt
me a lot as a kid. But sport, like I said,
sport for me, I was probably really lucky it was.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
It was my escape from it. Also.
Speaker 4 (15:34):
And yeah, no.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
One could question how good you were. I guess I'll
let you do whatever you needed to do.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Yeah, Clint out of clear mountains on the phone.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
Now are you have you.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
Got a d D yourself? Clint?
Speaker 10 (15:47):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
And so this conversation we've been having with Keisha, how's
it feel?
Speaker 10 (15:54):
Yeah, spot on, She's exactly right. We just said I
even I got two three. Like primary school, high school,
I was a village idiot. I didn't know anything.
Speaker 5 (16:05):
I was.
Speaker 10 (16:07):
I remember one time there was we used to line
up in primary school. We used to line up for
the library and all the kids to be there. And
I asked me, what's the capital, this, this state or whatever.
I don't know, and I'd say, I just laugh, manute,
because I got it wrong. I was in right grade
five or six. So it just it just it hurts
(16:32):
because you are that that you are different. But I
saw it as an ability and not a disability because
in other aspects, like like coy he chose sport for me,
it was more hands on stuff like I could put
an injured apart and put it back to go again.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
It is your superpower, it absolutely is. Joshav Logan, Hi, Hi,
good you guys moved from New Zealand.
Speaker 11 (16:58):
Yeah, we just moved here in June last year.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
Nice welcome mate, I think you.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 11 (17:05):
My partner she's been diagnosed at EHD when she was younger.
My oldest son he was also diagnosed when he was six.
And now that we've moved here, we've found that we
have to get our eldest son rediagnosed just to access
to medication he needs.
Speaker 4 (17:19):
Oh that's ridiculous.
Speaker 11 (17:20):
Really Yeah, So the same pediatrician that diagnosed them in
New Zealand can come over here and practice straight away.
But the diagnosis can't travel, isn't it. So we're on
a waiting list that we were told it could be
about eighteen months. I concern was the oldest one. He's
just started high school this year, and we noticed when
the primary school he was falling well behind until he
(17:42):
was medicated and he caught back up. And they're my concerned,
is waiting this long he's just going to start falling
behind and how long in high school is they're going
to take him to catch back up?
Speaker 1 (17:53):
And it's because what the drugs have a value on
the black market, don't they.
Speaker 5 (17:56):
They they I just thought maybe being already diagnosed would
have jumped the Q and be like, yeah, yeah, you
need to go see these people really quickly.
Speaker 11 (18:06):
I've got all the letters from the hospital back home,
and the doctors have pretty much told me here, there's
nothing we can do about it. You have to get
a rediagnosed.
Speaker 7 (18:15):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
I mean, there's so many comments coming through on our
text LINEO for a nine nine seven three nine seven three.
I had my ten year old son diagnosed with add
but his mother, my ex wife, don't let him.
Speaker 4 (18:25):
Take the medication. Yeah, you've got all that stuff with
separated parents.
Speaker 6 (18:29):
Yes, now with courios the podcast.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
Okay, So Jackie and Ryan on maths. It's actually going
to happen tonight at the commitments ceremony. But basically these
two are just a train wreck, and she is. You
know that thing they say about Sydney is that people
sometimes people don't cross the bridge.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Yes, this is Jackie right.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
So the northern suburbs of Sydney are very well to
do and wealthy. Yeah, and there's often a thing that
the people from the north of the bridge don't come
to the south of the bridge where the westerns interesting.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
Even though she came all the way from New Zealand.
Speaker 4 (19:03):
Apparently she can still be pretentious.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
So she's from Manly. Ryan is from the southwest of Sydney. Okay,
but yeah, he it's got so bad that finally I
think he's just had enough.
Speaker 4 (19:16):
And this is Jackie's comment. I don't lose people. People
lose me.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
So hard to like.
Speaker 4 (19:24):
I know she no, no, no, she really just can't.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
Don't like, you can't think.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
Of your life not being heartbroken. It's a right of passage.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
Okay, Corey, So you've never been I've never had someone goy. Hey,
it's it's not me, you know. I just need time
and I need you to leave my life.
Speaker 4 (19:46):
Look at him.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
He's really looking, he's really thinking, and I'd be like, okay, yeah, well.
Speaker 4 (19:51):
It's not someone you cared about it.
Speaker 5 (19:53):
I don't know, but it's more though. I never used
to think I was a cat, so I trust me, Like, yeah,
that's not the questions like have you ever have you
ever had someone break up with you and you were
devastated in your cry?
Speaker 3 (20:03):
And okay beforeteke and obviously yeah, because your life is amazing.
Speaker 5 (20:07):
I had one.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
GF a grand final, Yeah, okay, and one second.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
Would have absolutely broken every like grade six, grade seven,
grade eight, grade nine, grade ten girl's heart.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Oh I was. I was a sweeter the other way,
if you've.
Speaker 5 (20:24):
Ever been heartbroken, then you're broken like a breaking heart
right now.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
That I mean, you and I should probably compare notes.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
I've got so much heartbreak, good grief a per we
go back.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
Down on a percentage more heartbreak than breaking.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
No, I reckon, I'd be about even. And I think
it is good for you.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
I think it is. The heartbreak is as awful as
it is. You do definitely learn things.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
And if you and when you're with someone that's been
heartbroken as well, I think they've they've had to go
through some growth, you know what I mean, so that
they're better off.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
Yeah, and you have an empathy and anunderstanding of what
it feels like. Yeah, I mean, I mean if Jackie
can go through her entire life never being heartbroken, then
she is as pretentious as we all.
Speaker 4 (21:09):
Think she is.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
Yeah, what's your what's your stand on?
Speaker 4 (21:11):
What's your my ratio?
Speaker 3 (21:14):
I reckon, Well, I've got I've got the added bonus
of you know, it doesn't that's kind of heartbreak, but in.
Speaker 4 (21:22):
A different way. I'm about fifty to fifty two.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
And I don't.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
I don't think I'm a great catch, So you know,
I think there are times that that's been proven, you know,
over the years. And when I was online dating, it
was I broke up with one and the other and
another one broke up with me.
Speaker 4 (21:39):
So that was a fifty to fifty Yeah, when we
actually tried to do something, you can't be even.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
I'm about even, although I know it's a bit like
George Costanzo when they when they try that it's not you,
it's me.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
Okay, come on, I know it's me, and they just go, yeah, it's.
Speaker 6 (22:00):
Robin here now with Choreos the podcast.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Halfway through the podcast, Well, this is really good news.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Someone's got feedback, which for which one of us?
Speaker 4 (22:11):
It's usually that.
Speaker 1 (22:15):

Speaker 2 (23:10):
There's a lot of things, Jeff, Sure, I'm sure there is.
But yeah, I'll tell you. You want a story.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
I had a kid the other day at the checkout,
who was you know, he's the checkout bloke and he
was on his phone while he was supposed to be
scanning my groceries.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Now, that is the way the ship had oft tell
me about it. People that aren't concentrating on their.
Speaker 13 (23:26):
Jobs, and people how many how many people these days
can't look you in the eyes. Ah, yes, yeah, So
did you realize that you're saying is that many times?
Speaker 12 (23:38):
Kid?
Speaker 1 (23:39):
I do realize that it is actually part of my job,
because right, yeah, part of your job, because the idea
of Jeff is that we have quite a lot, quite
a lot of people turning over in the morning.
Speaker 12 (23:52):
Didn't get in.
Speaker 5 (23:53):
Trouble for not saying it enough that I did.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
I got called into a meeting for not saying it enough.
Speaker 12 (23:59):
Jeff, talk to the elbow, talk to him, Talk to
the elbow, because you're not worth the extension. You know
what I have called. I have tried for probably five years.
I've tried many competitions. I've tried to win some cash.
I've tried everything, and I've never ever been able to
(24:21):
get through. And this morning I thought, holy hell, he
answered the phone. Somebody answered the phone. And the guy
that answered the phone said, Oh, this is hilarious to
put you onto the guys. And I said, you're joking.
I said, for years, I've been trying to get on
your radio.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
And this was he did hang in there, Jiff.
Speaker 12 (24:46):
I didn't say hanging Giff, you didn't.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
What are you going to do is I'll tell you
how you get through the show. You just got a ship,
can me?
Speaker 2 (24:53):
Jeff? That's straight to the front of the line at less.
Speaker 12 (24:57):
You're a good sport kid. Yeah, you've got to have
a sense of shame in this world. That's one thing.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
That's like, what would you like for us to how
would you like me to shorten it?
Speaker 1 (25:07):
Just because I do have to say who we are
when I open the mic, So how would you like
it shortened? Have you got any ideas?
Speaker 2 (25:12):
Jeff?
Speaker 12 (25:14):
No, not really.
Speaker 4 (25:17):
I mean that's that's a good reason.
Speaker 12 (25:20):
And I fully understand that that's your job.
Speaker 5 (25:22):
Do you wanted to just go it's it's just Robin
and Corey?
Speaker 12 (25:25):
You do one?
Speaker 4 (25:27):
You know what's funny?
Speaker 2 (25:29):
You do it?
Speaker 3 (25:32):
Do you know what's really funny is And I know
him quite well because I look at him all day
every day. But the name he tends to struggle with
is his own.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
I forget it all the time.
Speaker 3 (25:44):
He knows he's got to go from Robin to Corey
and then he forgets.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
He's in the middle, lost in the middle.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
And you'll notice now that I say that there'll be
a slight hesitation. Is his little brain wheels, the little
mouse inside his head is going.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
Good Jeffs.
Speaker 12 (26:06):
But I have to say that that ADHD thing was
very informative and I think that's going to help a
lot of people, I hope. So yeah, I'm a mental health,
drug and alcohol support worker, so dealing with those sort
of things and is quite challenging when you're dealing with
people with an addiction or some sort of illness that
(26:30):
never been diagnosed. So you know, that was just fascinating
and just amazing to hear. And Robin, you didn't say much.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
Why because I think.
Speaker 3 (26:39):
In these moments you've got to let someone who really
knows what they're talking about talk.
Speaker 4 (26:43):
And it's Corey's story too, like it's not mine.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
So one of the greatest gifts this job will give
you is the capacity to listen rather than.
Speaker 12 (26:51):
Speak, and also to take the piss out of it.
Thank you for being a good sport Records. When I
did call the guys said look, you've got it. I've
got to put onto him and go hard. That I
didn't think I was. I didn't go to You've got

instantly take in my motivation for the day. I just
feel like just hanging out and sitting on the phone
(33:06):
not talking to you guys.
Speaker 4 (33:08):
And that's a fashion selection for you particularly.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
Don't don't do it.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
I know I've got a feeling because Naomi, my partner,
likes she likes me. We're in the shorter shorts. So
I've got a feeling these are not going to get
the tick of that.
Speaker 4 (33:21):
No I can guarantee.
Speaker 3 (33:23):
But we all like, yeah, if you missed yesterday, because
this will make sense to no one if they've just
tuned in. We were laughing about the fact that jorts
are the new great fashion item.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
Yeah, A Lanta just showed me on like the Google trends,
the amount of searches for jaorts in the last six
months is just through the roots.
Speaker 4 (33:41):
And that is gene shorts. Well, actually gene is.
Speaker 1 (33:46):
It's not giant because that's that's that's.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
It's yeah, it's and they are.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
I mean people like you, Billie Eilish and even Lola
who were just played like they're bringing the jaorts back
in as they just wear them at all times, regardless
of the humidity.
Speaker 4 (34:03):
So I don't understand the humidity question.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
But anyway, because there's things, there's things in here that
need to because.
Speaker 2 (34:11):
They can't breathe. It's too big. It's a blanket.
Speaker 4 (34:16):
If you wear jeans, it's the same thing jeans.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
If it's hot. Certainly I don't. I'm not going to
go and play a bit. It's frisbee and jeans.
Speaker 5 (34:22):
I'd wear these.
Speaker 4 (34:24):
Well, you like, it looked really good.
Speaker 3 (34:28):
We are videoing on this for social media, but the
idea was for us to just see what it felt
like to you know, cool crowd as opposed to.
Speaker 1 (34:37):
What we are.
Speaker 2 (34:37):
Dragon Corey looks like an undercover kite.
Speaker 5 (34:40):
One of those those key things.
Speaker 4 (34:43):
You look like a skateboarder.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
Yeah, good, try and knark.
Speaker 4 (34:45):
No, No one will.
Speaker 3 (34:48):
Be surprised that I actually had a pair in my
robe from the nineties.
Speaker 2 (34:52):
From Let's Wear Chorts.
Speaker 3 (34:55):
Rob's the second hand that I bought from the nineties.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
These are legit, you know, we didn't know draws that
own them. I do have some memory of these from
back in my skater of days, long time with Vans,
did you yeah, with the Vans with the cons actually the.
Speaker 2 (35:15):
Chucks, Yeah, elbow guards and they didn't wear That's not cool, Cory.
Speaker 3 (35:20):
Look at me, and again these two are wearing theirs
with T shirts and hats backwards, which we all have.
Speaker 4 (35:28):
But I've got heels in a jacket on.
Speaker 2 (35:30):
Double denim drawts. Is that allowed?
Speaker 4 (35:32):
Excuse me?
Speaker 3 (35:33):
Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake when they were dating and
they went to the MTV Music Awards in double denim.
They revolutionized And that was in the nineties.
Speaker 2 (35:41):
Okay, I'm sorry, apologized.
Speaker 6 (35:43):
I was going to say when was that.
Speaker 2 (35:46):
I feel like it was a while. I'm not sure.
I'm not sure if the rule lasts forever.
Speaker 3 (35:51):
Shuts are coming back because of the nineties.
Speaker 4 (35:54):
It's nostalgia.
Speaker 2 (35:56):
It's not all coming back.
Speaker 6 (36:02):
Row Kid Now with Courios the podcast.
Speaker 1 (36:07):
Something That's Happening. This came out on my Facebook page.
I saw this about five days ago now, a post
from the bowlow the Blimber BOWLO Blimber Memorial Bowls Club
closed until further notice, and they put a message out
on that saying, you know, thanks everyone for all their support,
but unfortunately where we can't afford to stay open.
Speaker 4 (36:28):
You love that place, I do. Did you go there
with Raffie all the time?
Speaker 2 (36:31):
Like Sunday afternoons you go there. You can have a beer.
Speaker 1 (36:34):
There's a bouncy castle, there's a spare green that the
kids run around on like. It's such a great sort
of family area and a cheap.
Speaker 2 (36:43):
It's a cheap playground. Beers are like seven dollars or less.
Speaker 1 (36:47):
Wow, and which is probably not surprising that that they're insolvent,
but so they're they're struggling, but there is a lifeline.
They put out a go fundme and they need to
raise twenty five grand just to.
Speaker 2 (36:59):
Keep the doors open.
Speaker 1 (37:00):
And then we're talking with the secretary of the Blimber
Bowls Club, who I know is very passionate about keeping
it alive.
Speaker 2 (37:07):
His name is Sam O'Brien. He joins us now morning.
Speaker 1 (37:09):
Sam, morning, Kip. How are you mate, I'm good, I'm sad.
I'm sad that this is that this could be the end.
So what what do you what do you put it
down to? Why why do you reckon?
Speaker 2 (37:20):
We're in this position?
Speaker 9 (37:22):
So I think in the past, with previous management, we've
had a poor budget plan which didn't reflect like weekly turnover. Right,
so expenses when it came to staff, spending, food and everything,
we're way too high. And just kept kept putting.
Speaker 2 (37:41):
Us in that because it's not run by businessman, right.
Speaker 1 (37:43):
It's the whole thing is it's a community based project,
so the people in charge are not necessarily you know,
business people.
Speaker 9 (37:50):
Yeah, well, we're not for profit club. And with the
management board. We're all volunteers, some of which are business owners. Myself,
I'm not. I'm only nineteen. I work on the wharf.
Speaker 3 (38:03):
Oh oh wow, Sam, So you're like passionate about the Blimberbolo.
Speaker 9 (38:09):
Yeah, well it's not only for me, but it's it's
kind of the history that comes through it. The big
one that I've been speaking about in the past week
is the Beckett family. They actually built the Greens, and
the grandsons and great grandsons of that family. He'll come
down to a club to this day.
Speaker 4 (38:29):
Okay, we need to save it. So what do we
need to do? What do you need?
Speaker 9 (38:33):
So the big thing is, well, obviously the money. Without
the money, how much much? So we have an ATO
unresolved ATO expense of about twenty five thousand. So that's
the first goal is to reach fifty percent of that
fifty k target can start training again.
Speaker 1 (38:54):
Yeah, because you can't make money until you open the door.
So you need twenty five grand and what's the go
fundme at at this stage?
Speaker 9 (39:01):
So I woke up this morning and we've just gone
over ten k.
Speaker 1 (39:05):
That's good, that's a great start. So we need another
fifteen so we can open up this weekend.
Speaker 2 (39:10):
Yeah, okay, and were.
Speaker 4 (39:12):
Did just find it on as it under Blimba bolo.
Speaker 8 (39:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (39:16):
So if you if you search up go fund me
and you can search all the all the different campaigns
that are up.
Speaker 2 (39:23):
Yep.
Speaker 9 (39:24):
If you look up our local funding campaign slogan which
just save our Blimber BOWLO, it'll come up and it's
got our logo as the picture.
Speaker 2 (39:33):
Okay, we'll put.
Speaker 4 (39:34):
That on our socials.
Speaker 3 (39:35):
You'll put the go Fundme on our socials at KS
ninety seven to three, and so that can give it.
Speaker 4 (39:40):
A bit of a bigger push.
Speaker 1 (39:42):
Yeah, And if we can get the doors open on Friday,
we'll talk to you again on Friday. If we can
get open again for the weekend, then let's get down
there and have a few beers.
Speaker 2 (39:50):
Everyone. Just keep the thing on, do you reckon? You
could do that for us, Cory?
Speaker 1 (39:54):
Yeah, all right, So good on your Sam for even
the dream alive, mate and best of luck.
Speaker 2 (40:02):
We'll keep everyone posted with how it's going.
