Speaker 1 (00:12):
I Heard podcasts, year more kiss podcasts, playlists and listen
live on the Free iHeart app.

Speaker 2 (00:26):
Robinie Kiff now with Choreots to the podcast.

Speaker 3 (00:33):
Good It's Roberte Kiff now Choreo. It's the podcast halftime
today in the podcast where Corey has been fired up
about this forgive to part because it's about fire ants.

Speaker 2 (00:45):
Wow, that's happened.

Speaker 4 (00:47):
Oh, it was just it was annoying. We got a
letter and in our mailbox about the fire ant problem
that of family's given around and they are bad. If
you get them, they're hard to get rid of it,
and you don't want them because they what did they do?
And they ruined everything? They killed you, they killed your dogs.

Speaker 3 (01:03):
So the name is about like it's almost like it's
it burns when they buy you, like it's so pained on.

Speaker 2 (01:12):
I'll take you. I'll take your word for us, all right.

Speaker 3 (01:15):
So we'll find out what's going with fire ants and
coreoates his homestead.

Speaker 5 (01:18):
After this.

Speaker 6 (01:21):
Now with cho podcast.

Speaker 3 (01:25):
So this is a lady from from Texas who's gotten
herself into all sorts of trouble the names of Monica,
and she had a reasonably small following on TikTok, and
yet this has had millions of views. She got out
of a pilates car a class. She's in her car
and she said this.

Speaker 6 (01:43):
This may be a heart take for some people, but
if you're two hundred pounds, you shouldn't be in a
plates class.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
There's no reason why they.

Speaker 6 (01:49):
Should allow two hundred pound people in a level two class.
There's something or you shouldn't be allowed to be a
plotate's instructor if you have a gut near.

Speaker 1 (02:01):
The last one.

Speaker 2 (02:01):
I'm sorry you're going to defend that.

Speaker 3 (02:03):
Well, not the comments, not not what she said, and
I completely disagree with what she said. By the weigh,
two hundred pounds is ninety kilos, which means I would
not be allowed to go into her polarates class in
her perfect world.

Speaker 5 (02:16):
However, she has since lost her job. She's a dental assistant.
She's lost her job.

Speaker 3 (02:22):
She's been kicked out of the polarates class, which the
polaritis class. Getting kicked out of that I don't mind
so much, but she's had a real world consequence and
that she's lost her her ability to work because she
said something stupid on TikTok. She gave her opinion as
much as I disagree with the opinion. She gave her
opinion on TikTok, thinking this is just going to be
a stupid little video, and now she's lost her job,

(02:43):
And I don't think you should be I think you
should be allowed to even if I disagree with you.
I think you should be allowed to say what you
want to say on social media without necessarily losing.

Speaker 5 (02:52):
Like it doesn't affect her ability to be a dentist
or a dental assistant.

Speaker 1 (02:55):
It kind of does because it impacts her ability to
deal with the general public, which is what social media is.
You put something out there and the world can see it. Yeah, anyway,
I'm having popcorn over here.

Speaker 4 (03:08):
Yeah, Like that's good, but I'm off it.

Speaker 5 (03:12):
That's not You don't have to like her, But why
do you have to get fired?

Speaker 4 (03:16):
Well, probably the code of conduct with her job. I
don't know, like the rules. You can't be shame of
people on the internet and get away with it. I
really don't like it at all, Like that's it's just
you're getting up someone for actually trying to better themselves.
You're you're trying to say people can't better themselves, people
can't go into somewhere and saying.

Speaker 2 (03:35):
That, like, those two worlds are not going to.

Speaker 4 (03:39):
Collimse, and it does.

Speaker 2 (03:40):
It happens everywhere that is naive to it. Like that
is just ridiculous.

Speaker 1 (03:44):
And this whole I mean, this is my personal hate
that you have the right to say whatever you want
on social media and it's someone else's problem if they
read it.

Speaker 2 (03:55):
That's ridiculous. Well, that's ridiculous.

Speaker 4 (03:58):
It's up to the employee with what they do. Like
it not everyone probably wouldn't, but doesn't she did.

Speaker 3 (04:03):
It doesn't affect her ability to go, Yeah, you've got
plark on, you know, tooth number four, And I'm just
going to give that a clean just because she's she's obviously.

Speaker 4 (04:11):
What if someone's seen in that video and when the
dentists next day and said, I'm not coming here anymore, she'sier,
She'll have a mask on.

Speaker 5 (04:17):
She'd have one of those masks on there.

Speaker 3 (04:19):
I don't even know what my dentist looks like without
a mask because they've always got the thing on.

Speaker 5 (04:24):
No one would recognize. It wouldn't make any difference.

Speaker 2 (04:26):
Okay, But so what is the consequence of doing stuff
like that?

Speaker 3 (04:29):
I mean, she's still getting shamed like she's still getting
absolute abuse. People are telling her, you know, she should
kill herself, and all sorts of stuff. She's getting all that,
So she's already getting retribution.

Speaker 5 (04:39):
I just don't think it needs.

Speaker 3 (04:40):
She doesn't need to lose her job over being stupid
and saying and saying what she believes. I mean, of
course she has retracted the comment.

Speaker 6 (04:48):
Now, Hey guys, I wanted to come on here and
just formally apologize for my last few videos. They're nasty.
My membership we got revoked and I was told not
to go back towards. So you know, I've learned that
it's not okay, and it's just not pretty and it's nasty,
and I just feel really bad.

Speaker 5 (05:08):
So she got spanked, but she don't done that. She
said something stupid. People told her that that's not okay.

Speaker 4 (05:12):
Only done that because she lost a job and got spanked.
If she did, if she didn't do, if all that
didn't happen, never been a policy.

Speaker 2 (05:19):
Yeah, of course we know that.

Speaker 7 (05:20):
I also chime in as a woman who is over
two hundred pounds who does pilates, Yes, I would like
knowing that someone there and if her company kept her there,
knowing that that is the you know, the conversations and
the whispers being had behind it. It's like, you go
to pilates to feel healthy, to be better, to feel fit,

(05:42):
and it would just be so And I like, I'm
very body confident, but a lot of women aren't. And
that is just like body image is such a major thing.
So if you were already taking that massive leap and
confidence to put yourself out there and go to pilates,
if you're not usually the type of person who would
and know that, the person who is trying to be
teaching you is just like sniggering, being like, oh, you

(06:03):
don't belong here, you're too big. It's like, that's so crap.

Speaker 5 (06:06):
I do agree with that. But she's not a pilates instructor.

Speaker 3 (06:09):
She's she's just someone who goes to the class and
she's been kicked out of that class and that's fine.
But she's a dentist or she works in a dental
So you don't think to do with.

Speaker 1 (06:17):
She'd have a real life consequence for her social media
opinion or.

Speaker 5 (06:22):
Something she said on TikTok.

Speaker 4 (06:23):
Social media is so big now you can't you can't
expect for us because but that's for us.

Speaker 5 (06:28):
We're in a public eye, and football players are in
the public eye. She's not.

Speaker 1 (06:31):
Yeah, but she's also saying stupid things that are hurtful
to people. At what point is there a consequence where you, yeah,
of course it did. There's millions, and you're just going
to tell me that her hundred people. Oh well, I
just posted it to my friends. That's not how social
media works.

Speaker 2 (06:46):
I can't. I can't see how else you do it.

Speaker 5 (06:50):
But if you don't, if you don't, I mean, she
didn't make it go viral. It went viral because it's disgusting,
but she didn't make it go viral. She just put
it out there.

Speaker 2 (06:58):
Yeah, but so she's lost a job.

Speaker 5 (06:59):
But you're so no one's allowed to have You're not
allowed to have your.

Speaker 1 (07:02):
Opinion, not if it is so awful to other human beings. No,
that's not the society we live in. It isn't It
shouldn't be. If you're going to make if what you
say and you put it on social media, and you
have a right to say it, you feel you have
a right, but you can hurt other people. I'm sorry,
I don't agree. I know Trump disagrees with me. I
know he'd be calling that fake news and.

Speaker 5 (07:22):
Thirty one six fives out Ama.

Speaker 2 (07:23):
By the way, that's not the world I want to
live in.

Speaker 3 (07:26):
Well, I'm not saying is the world we want to
live in, but people should be allowed to have their
opinion without losing their jobs. Kid now with care the podcast.

Speaker 5 (07:36):
Now we're just talking about this.

Speaker 3 (07:37):
Lady Monica from TikTok who made this comment.

Speaker 6 (07:41):
This may be a heart take for some people, but
if you're two hundred pounds, you shouldn't be in a
plotates class. There's no reason why they should allow two
hundred pound people in a level two class. There's some
or you shouldn't be allowed to be a plotis instructor
if you have a gut near fat oh.

Speaker 4 (07:58):
The last oh I know.

Speaker 3 (08:02):
And it's just like and I'm all of those things,
and I don't agree with what she says.

Speaker 5 (08:05):
However, I don't think people should be getting canceled for
having an opinion.

Speaker 1 (08:09):
Well, except if that opinion has real life consequences. On
the text line, people are going absolutely not so for
a nine ninety seven three nine seven three. People are
demanding their rights always conveniently forget that they come with responsibilities.
It's like a coin has two sides, actions and consequences.
That's and from Kippring.

Speaker 3 (08:29):
Yeah, I believe in freedom of speech, but what if
your comment is racist or sexist?

Speaker 5 (08:33):
I mean, I know, and that does change things.

Speaker 3 (08:35):
But I guess fat shaming falls in falls under that
banner because she's definitely doing that.

Speaker 1 (08:41):
It's interesting though, I have I've been trying really hard
to kind of sit in your camp, and the one
thing I would the one thing I would say is
that people like us have go through really strict codes
of conduct.

Speaker 5 (08:52):
Yeah, we know we're not allowed to say things like that.

Speaker 1 (08:54):
And we know that there will absolutely be consequences. I
guess sometimes in the real world people don't understand that
if they don't have a job that demands that they
operate in a certain way with the general public.

Speaker 3 (09:05):
Because she's a dental assistant, and I'm sure that there's
plumbers listening right now that have said way worse things
or posted worse things and they haven't lost their jobs.

Speaker 5 (09:13):
Because people go, well, you expect that you well, that's
not well, it's just your opinion. That's outside of work.
It's nothing to do.

Speaker 4 (09:19):
With a code of conduct. Then, for an every job,
or most jobs, if we deem it's not okay then.

Speaker 1 (09:25):
Emma of alex Hills. You're a teacher, there's a code
of conduct for you.

Speaker 2 (09:29):
I'm sure.

Speaker 8 (09:31):
Yeah, absolutely, And I think what's important to know is
that if you're if you're bringing your business into disrepute
by what you say, you know you need to be
standing behind what you say and also standing behind those consequences.
And I think there's a bit of a mistake about
public opinion versus your opinion. When you put something publicly,

(09:51):
then you need to potentially suffer the public consequences related
to that.

Speaker 5 (09:56):
Well, she certainly done that.

Speaker 3 (09:57):
She lost the job. She's not allowed to go to
platters anymore. I agree with the PLARTI.

Speaker 1 (10:00):
Is right, you feel we'd been in her class, and
you'll be stoked to know that Colleen's just having a
random crack at me.

Speaker 2 (10:07):
Way to go, Corey, get down off your soapbox.

Speaker 3 (10:09):
Robin, okay, and Colleen isn't told to her appear.

Speaker 2 (10:16):
Absolutely.

Speaker 4 (10:18):
The defense rests.

Speaker 5 (10:23):
Now with the pod kid meltdowns.

Speaker 2 (10:28):
I reckon, we can just keep upping these.

Speaker 1 (10:30):
Yeah, children have the most stupidest meltdowns ever.

Speaker 3 (10:34):
Yeah, yeah, And I've got we've got sort of double
meltdowns happening at the moment because Siena is eleven months
and she has meltdowns about ridiculous things. But then, but
I expected better from Raf who's five and he's turning six.
And in fact, it was about his birthday that we
had the meltdown. So I picked him up in the
afternoons from school. Every hour, I pick him up on
an electric scooter. And I've got little handlebars down the front,

(10:57):
but hold on too, So he's holding onto the handlebars
down there, and I've got these handlebars.

Speaker 2 (11:00):
That's so cute.

Speaker 5 (11:01):
Yeah, and we've got you know.

Speaker 3 (11:02):
We're both wear helmets obviously and stuff and we and
we're head on home and so we have our chats
after school. Chats will be on the scooter.

Speaker 4 (11:09):
What's you know?

Speaker 5 (11:09):
What have you been up to?

Speaker 4 (11:10):
Nothing?

Speaker 5 (11:14):
Nothing, never tells me anything. And but then he's getting
excited about his birthday.

Speaker 3 (11:19):
It's in July, July twenty four, but he's getting excited
now and talks about it almost every day. And I said, well,
before that, we got Sienna's birthday and he said, yeah,
we're gonna have cake.

Speaker 5 (11:28):
I said, yeah, we'll have cake.

Speaker 3 (11:29):
And I said, and there's another birthday before that, and
he's realized it's my birthday, and he said, what what
cake you going to have? And I said, well, my
favorite cake is banana cake, right, and then I just
like in front of me, I could hear there's mouth
he's waters shut banana cake. Anyway, there's a shuddering in

(11:51):
front of me on the scooter. I can see this
little this little head sort of shaking it and he's
I was, what's happening.

Speaker 4 (12:00):
I don't want banana cake.

Speaker 5 (12:03):
I don't like it. I don't like banana cake.

Speaker 9 (12:05):
And I'm going, but it's my birthday, right, melt down
on the scooter, tears and he cried for like the
entire trip, crying about me.

Speaker 5 (12:17):
I said, it's my birthday.

Speaker 9 (12:18):
I'm allowed to have whatever cake I want.

Speaker 5 (12:23):
So and I'm such an idiot that I double down together.
No way we're having anything.

Speaker 2 (12:29):
This is what I'm trying to get my head around.

Speaker 1 (12:30):
I'm like, this is such an easy get out of
jail card I know.

Speaker 3 (12:34):
And Naomi, as soon as we get in the house,
like we walking out, he's still crying.

Speaker 4 (12:38):
She's like, what's happening.

Speaker 9 (12:39):
He goes, Dad's having banana cake birthday and she goes,
I'll just get your chocolate cupcake, and he goes, oh, okay.

Speaker 5 (12:48):
And that's all fit, isn't it. Everything's fine? But what
a stupid meltdown.

Speaker 3 (12:53):
About someone else's birthday a month from now that he's
not having his favorite cake.

Speaker 2 (12:59):
Okay, I reckon I can beat it.

Speaker 1 (13:04):
Yeah, I reckon, I care, but I'm interested to see
if other people can. And the only way that I
could stop this meltdown was to have my own okay
on the floor in the middle of Cole's.

Speaker 5 (13:16):
Tough all right, let's get to that and whatever you've got.
Thirteen oneay, six fives.

Speaker 3 (13:20):
Our number, ron Kid now with Correos the podcast talking
about kid meltdowns. Thirteen one A six fives our number.
After my little boy who's five, had a proper fifteen
minute meltdown because I want to have banana cake at
my birthday six weeks from.

Speaker 1 (13:37):
Now, not Rappy's birthday, at Kid's birthday.

Speaker 3 (13:41):
Yep, his birthday two weeks later. I said, you could
have chocolate cake, no problems, but for mine.

Speaker 5 (13:45):
Shala.

Speaker 3 (13:45):
By the way, He's texted through to say, I stand
with RAFFI I would cry too. Told there was banana cake,
combing fair enough.

Speaker 2 (13:53):
I do remember.

Speaker 1 (13:54):
It was Cole's ken Moore, and the only person who
I think has ever done it tougher that I've watched
is Laura Geites, who also shops at Cole's Kenmer ken Moore,
but she has one extra child to me, so she's
got four.

Speaker 2 (14:05):
But I used to have to take the three of
my boys.

Speaker 1 (14:07):
There were I think there were like two, four and six,
and the thing with little boys where they'd always like
to egg each other on. So whoever's going to melt down,
then the other two are trying to facilitate.

Speaker 2 (14:19):
And we had this.

Speaker 1 (14:19):
Moment where the youngest one was hell bent on getting
every single apple that he could get his hands on,
and he was in one of those seats at the
front of a trolley.

Speaker 2 (14:28):
Oh yeah, yeah, so he wanted to try the apple
before we bought it.

Speaker 1 (14:32):
I just have a bike, yeah, So he was taking
and his two older brothers were providing said apples. So
no matter where I was in Cools, the kids would.

Speaker 2 (14:45):
Run up with a new apple.

Speaker 3 (14:48):
He'd have a bid one, didn't they try and run
them back?

Speaker 1 (14:51):
No, you can't do this, So the littlest one was
absolutely losing it and so I had to take him
out of the front of the trolley because I thought
he'd hurt himself. So he's lying on the ground pummeling
his fists to which one the middle one? Lewin was like, oh,
that seems like a good idea. Gets down with him.

(15:11):
Why And the only way I could stop it was
I got down there too.

Speaker 2 (15:20):
They were so shocked.

Speaker 5 (15:22):
You had a tantrum.

Speaker 1 (15:23):
I had a full blown to hands and fists just going.

Speaker 4 (15:29):
When was it phones around?

Speaker 5 (15:34):
That would have been good? Actually it was last week
Wendy out of forest like the kid belt down. What happened?

Speaker 10 (15:44):
Yeah, hi guys. Yeah, So my daughter and her friend
were playing one morning at my place and one of
them artered, as two year olds can do. I just
turned around and said, oh, who was that? And my
daughter goes it was me and her little friend said, no, no,
it was me. This led into a whole fully tantrum

(16:05):
of who was the owner of I had two little
girls on the ground throwing candid what do I do
with this?

Speaker 5 (16:21):
That is special? That is so good. I've had a
double pass you to go and see shepherd for that.
Well done?

Speaker 10 (16:27):
Oh great, thank you very much.

Speaker 2 (16:29):
I appreciate the.

Speaker 3 (16:30):
Back from overseas for a short time for their only
Southeast Queensland concert, Shepherd Live in concert this Saturday night
at Logan Entertainment CE. So many good ones came through
on the text line as well. My child had a
meltdown because her banana broke because he because he couldn't
shove both hands in his mouth at the same time,
because I wouldn't let her eat fertilizer.

Speaker 4 (16:53):
That's just like I'm doing work right, I've got the
hammer in my hand. He goes, I have go No, mate,
you can't. That is too you got two well mate,
no you can't scream. So I'm talking bulls' eyes runs inside, screamgg.

Speaker 5 (17:11):
In yeah yeah, won't let me kill.

Speaker 2 (17:16):
It's so cruel for keeping them alive like that.

Speaker 5 (17:23):
Now with podcast.

Speaker 3 (17:27):
Halfway through the podcast, so do you have is there
fire ants in your area or something?

Speaker 4 (17:32):
Well that's what I found out. Well, so we got
these ladders about fire ants in the area, what had
been spotted in the area. And usually when they're in Charadius,
they travel fast, and they nest and they double, they
could drip, they grow, and we haven't had it done before,
like never had an issue or someone come around, and

(17:52):
then next one this letter. If you don't let us
on your property, allow us access to your property to
treat fire ants, you can be fine up to sixteen
thousand dollars.

Speaker 2 (18:03):
Yeah, it's a government initiative.

Speaker 4 (18:06):
Yeah, but it's my property. Why what if our thing
was what if we're so busy that we I'm like,
I'll the gate mate, but if my dog buys your
leg off, you told me allow you access. Yeah, that's
why we don't allow access when we can't. But and
it's like getting through all that, we organized the time
for them to come right, and then they rocked up.

(18:27):
And Tigan also had a story about her friend once
her dog actually ate one of the palettes and died
really and so that was her big concern. And I'm like, well, okay,
if they just to the boundary. If it can't get
in my boundary, it can't get in my house, you know.
So when they rock up, I'm like, you know, hey, guys, yep,

(18:50):
you know, I'm sure you've done all the other homes
you know before hours like, sorry, it's taking this line.
They go, oh no, it's just the ones that have
allowed us.

Speaker 3 (18:59):
So the sixteen thousand dollar fine is be slight a bush,
so no one else has laid me in because everyone's busy.

Speaker 4 (19:05):
What's it? What's to go with this? Then? Like sixteen thousand? Fine,
if we don't lay on the property, Oh no, that's
we just we'd love to do everyone. But if we can't,
we can't. I'm like, so that was a lot too.

Speaker 1 (19:18):
I wouldn't want Fireance, don't fire Ance wants and can
take out your dogs?

Speaker 4 (19:23):
And then I asked him, I said, usually you have
to have there's got to be a reported case of
finance for you to be worried about it, because you know,
they travel and they grow. And they said, oh yeah,
there was one like ten k's away and all this
sort of stuff. It was a fair way away. But
they're just being cautious. And I'm like, okay, sweet, well,
you know, I really don't you're near my house because

(19:43):
my dogs and my kids. So I said, can you
just do around like way down the bottom where no
one plays and all this and that, and they're like yeah,
all good, and I'm like, Okay, this is starts to
get ridiculous, like they made a massive deal of this
and now they're just like, yeah, we'll just do whatever
you want, Like they could have done the boundary like
a meter off the band, like and the next best

(20:06):
part of this, like you know your little spreader yeah fertilized.
Yeah yeah, they had two of those. Yeah, four when
they've done, I reckon twenty pallets come out of that
buddy thing.

Speaker 5 (20:19):
What do you mean? It just didn't work.

Speaker 4 (20:20):
It's not that. But I was watching them do it,
and I'm like, I can count the amount of palettes
coming out of that. Yeah, I was, what's this stopping?

Speaker 2 (20:29):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (20:29):
It was just it was ridiculous how much they massive
got a letter chance of being fine to then not
even being an issue. I'm like, what is going on here?

Speaker 3 (20:40):
Like I've just done I've done it. But yeah, better
research on them. They arrived first detected in Brisbane in
two thousand and one. They're from South America, the Fire End,
and there's yeah, they're actually there's pretty much listed cases
like it's it's rare. Yeah, but like the last port
of Brisbane in twenty twenty one, they found something. They
were eradicated in twenty twenty four. So but they they

(21:03):

Speaker 5 (21:08):
Be the worst.

Speaker 3 (21:08):
Yeah, all of our they horrendous like worse cats, foxes,
toads even.

Speaker 4 (21:16):
But my thing is, why can't they just do me boundary?

Speaker 2 (21:20):
I don't know enough about a fire round habitat.

Speaker 4 (21:23):
Yeah, I just they wrote a letter say and you
could be fine. And then it turns out we didn't
have to let them on our property.

Speaker 5 (21:30):
Because no one else did.

Speaker 2 (21:32):
Well, you are protected and you are doing good.

Speaker 4 (21:35):
Twenty pellots that are out.

Speaker 3 (21:38):
I mean you can't let your dogs out the front

Oh that's a good question.

Speaker 2 (21:43):

Speaker 5 (21:59):
Who was worth it? Just for that conversation?

Speaker 11 (22:03):
Kid?

Speaker 2 (22:03):
Now with the podcast, this game is handle.

Speaker 1 (22:12):
It's Corry's Little Corey's Little League made possible by Construction Pathways.
There's never been a better time for a career in
construction search construction pathways.

Speaker 3 (22:22):
Now, while we focus heavily on Cory's little league, there's
another football game happening tomorrow night some interest.

Speaker 2 (22:29):
Is it so cool? They were blocking off the roads
last night because they had like lots of big.

Speaker 3 (22:36):
And if you go through like any Westfield at the moment,
there's like pop up shops all.

Speaker 4 (22:40):
Moraine everywhere in the middle. It's crazy.

Speaker 3 (22:43):
How even Raffi Modiboy at school tomorrow they're allowed to
wear their colors to school. Cool.

Speaker 5 (22:48):
Yeah, so we'll be getting all excited for that.

Speaker 4 (22:50):
That's good. It's it's always cool to see the colors
and the and the It's great when you see the
city and everyone get behind it like it's just shows.

Speaker 5 (22:58):
Yeah, I'm so awesome. I'm so excited.

Speaker 2 (23:00):
I can't wait Wednesday.

Speaker 5 (23:02):
Yes, oh yeah, the ones he's on tomorrow and then I.

Speaker 4 (23:05):
Hope it's one hundred degrees tomorrow.

Speaker 5 (23:07):
I think it's a little bit cooler.

Speaker 4 (23:08):
Actually, that's the good news.

Speaker 3 (23:10):
But Harry Grant, who he plays in the hooking role,
which means he throws a lot of passes.

Speaker 5 (23:16):
He's the guy that's right there. He probably touches the
ball more.

Speaker 3 (23:18):
Than any other player, doesn't. Yeah player, and he's an
absolute great for Queensland. You had a chat to him
quiry about his childhood memories of footage.

Speaker 11 (23:28):
One that actually stands out to me. It's pretty funny.
I was probably under sevens and you weren't. We weren't
allowed to kick then, so I remember I used to
idolize the Queenslanders and Alfie Langer especially. I used to
practice his grubber and chase in the backyard all the time.
And I remember my brother's mates were sitting on the
sideline watching a game and I made a line break

(23:50):
and it was open pastures to score a try, but
I just grubbed it to myself to regather and score.
But then the ref brought it back because you're not
allowed to kick, so it was disallowed.

Speaker 4 (24:02):
But it's one that I still remember.

Speaker 11 (24:04):
I was probably, like I said, six or seven, and yeah,
I can still remember that pretty fondly.

Speaker 4 (24:10):
Brothers like, yeah, the ball, you kick it and just
it runs.

Speaker 5 (24:12):
On the ground, A little kick on the ground.

Speaker 4 (24:15):
Kick seven and eight, I think.

Speaker 3 (24:18):
And he didn't need to, but there's no one in
front of him, but he just wanted to be out.

Speaker 4 (24:22):
Every time a kid made a break to in that age,
you're always like, don't get every time kick. It kind
of it got me that actually made me remember, like
backyard footy days, like I know if you ever did,
but you I just one on one with your brother, Yes,
and you'd always fall for a dummy pass. And I
remember Carl Baron speaking about it when he when he

(24:44):
did a skip years ago.

Speaker 5 (24:46):
One on one rugby league tries on one team. I'm
on the other with both captains. I got the ball,
he's running towards me. I throw a dummy pass.

Speaker 4 (24:55):
He gazed for it. But what are you doing together?

Speaker 5 (24:57):
I thought you're going to pass it. There's no one
on my team. You always doing with me brother? Oh yeah,
I was always fall for him.

Speaker 3 (25:09):
We had a we had an L shaped lawn our
backyard and say like you have to score a drive,
but you had to turn the corner. Okay, that's where
Luke would always wait.

Speaker 5 (25:20):
You know you're coming to the corner.

Speaker 1 (25:22):
How did you do it? Did Lisa play? Because there's
three kids in your family, it.

Speaker 5 (25:25):
Was always just MeV Luke.

Speaker 10 (25:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (25:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (25:28):
And we're nice to him because he was much younger
than you.

Speaker 5 (25:31):
Absolutely did get a palm of the fame here now
with podcast.

Speaker 1 (25:41):
Okay, I've got an ourging question for you because I
saw this across the weekend. Queensland coach Billy Slater. I
think it was talking to the career ol. Anyway, it
came up as a headline on my feed and so
I got curious. I mean, he's had a pretty shocking
twelve months, but it culminated in the death of his
dad Ron And he went on to say in this
article his dad passed away in the Ken's Hospital in

(26:04):
January after a lengthy battle with him for seema. But
he said it's the first time he's ever done any
sort of football without his dad. He said, I used
to run the Queensland team by Dad every game. I
can't do that anymore. I do a lot of traveling
in the car going to the airport and Dad was
the number one on my phone that I would miss.
I couldn't make a call anymore for a chat. And

(26:25):
he's saying that, you know, he's going to go out
there tomorrow night here in Brisbane and then for the
rest of the series with his dad in his heart,
like really playing to try and honor his father. And
I guess I just wondered, because he's the coach with
the team, know about that, and would that have any
impact as to how they'd play?

Speaker 4 (26:45):
Yeah, So no, one, Billy. I know that he probably
he wouldn't be it wouldn't have been talked about, you know,
as a whole.

Speaker 5 (26:56):
So he wouldn't necessarily talk about it.

Speaker 4 (26:57):
He wouldn't bring it up at all, no way, because
you know, he's a very good fella, Bill and you
know he loves his family. But you know, he never
likes to use that sort of stuff. I guess, you know,
get blokes to play play for him. He wants them
to play for himselves first and play for our state
and then all that sort of stuff. But I know
for a fact that the boys would have known that

(27:19):
or seen that, and I reckon they would have spoken
about it for sure without Billy there, Yeah, definitely, just
as just how much more you know it'll mean to Billy,
and just just yeah, the occasion and you know, obviously
being the first time without his father, and just what
it meant to his dad and his family and and

(27:40):
all of that. So I reckon that it definite would
have been spoken about.

Speaker 1 (27:43):
For sure, and that will be a motivation going into
tomorrow night's game. Not something that's public, but just something
in the back of everyone's mind that this is even
that little bit more important does it mean so much
to Billy?

Speaker 4 (27:55):
Yeah, and origin is different likes it's hard to explain.
But because Billy's played, played for a state, put his
body in line, showed how much it meant to him
and his family and all of that. And now he's
a coach and he shows that through his coaching too,
And so I guess you know, you always want to play,

(28:17):
you know, for your state, for your family, for everyone,
but everyone also when you even me being a part
of it when he was a coach, like, you want
to play for him. And that's what the good coaches do.
You You want to do it for them so much,
like because they show so much respect to you and
and and all of that, and how much it means
to them to have you in the side. You know.

(28:39):
That's that to me is what a really good coach is.
And and I know the boys would be you know,
it would have definitely been a group discussion about you know,
this needs to really be a really special effort for Billy.
So queen, come now, yes, now, I got a got

(29:02):
a good deed to I just wanted to sort of
tell everyone what happened on the weekend because I just
was really happy about it. You know, I love doing
these sort of things, but never really had it happen,
I guess to me in this sort of way. But yeah,
we'll line up to buy coupons for the Brookfield show.
So the family we all went to the Brookfield Chant
on Saturday.

Speaker 5 (29:21):
So what is it. It's just like a little miniac,
a little it's very mini.

Speaker 2 (29:24):
It's an institution.

Speaker 1 (29:27):
I know so many people who do crocheted items to engine.
I mean it is like a mini echo. But it's
also cool because they've got a rodeo.

Speaker 4 (29:35):
Yeah, Friday night and I had a very good night.
Did you cash your sales hurting? So going to the show,
I was really happy to be there. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (29:44):
And this Saturday now, yeah.

Speaker 4 (29:48):
Yeah, two or three o'clock we got there and line
up to get coupons. I don't know how to coupon
to ride these days, but yeah, as we'll line up.
This faunily this guy came out and said, hey, you know,
we've got some spare coupons. Would you like them? And
I was like, oh no, it's all good, mate, like happy.
He said no, how look he said here you can
have me. He said, you know we're going to just
run with the bin. Otherwise we're not using we're going home,

(30:10):
he said, so please have myself. Yeah, Like I looked
at it he gave me. I'm like, whoa, what do
you give you? It would have been one hundred bucks
worth of coupon and I'm like, kids, right, And I
was like, you want some money anything like that? No,
that's all good, Like even no, no, we'll give you some money.
Said it's fine, We're going to try with the bin.
It's okay. So like we got Monty to go and
say thank you, and it was just like, I don't know,

(30:31):
it was really just really nice and like its like,
oh you know was he was he a footy film?
Like No, it was just I just wanted to do it.
And I noticed him that they were looking at us
when we're lying out, and I've seen the daughter pointing,
So I reckon. He asked his daughter, who do you
want to give him.

Speaker 2 (30:48):
To little Monty smile?

Speaker 4 (30:51):
I reckon, she would have. Yeah, Jeffrey was in Huckston
trying to climb over and jump off my shoulders. So
it was just really nice and I love trying to
do that sort of Yeah, I love trying to do it.
I trying to do it the cafes if someone's card
declined or you know, if they.

Speaker 3 (31:09):
Just it's a good moment if there's that the decline
card and you go, okay, jump.

Speaker 4 (31:17):
It's not about like saying I can afford. It's just
I love doing those good little gestures for people.

Speaker 2 (31:23):
How do people do do it?

Speaker 1 (31:24):
Like there's stories of like in petrol stations where someone's
already paid for your fuel in cafe, Like in coffee drive.

Speaker 5 (31:32):
Throughs, you've heard that it's raffers people.

Speaker 3 (31:34):
That's a bit of a thing apparently that you go
through because the drive through coffee and then you pay
for the car behind you, and everyone just sort of
keeps paying it forward.

Speaker 4 (31:41):
I've never heard of that sort of stuff, just that cafes.
If I might not buy coffee, or if yeah, and
there's people in front, or yeah, a kid or kids
that the car doesn't work and or they not using
I'll just say I'll just I'll just do it, and
I might. I don't really care. Like it makes me feel,

(32:02):
it makes me happy for the day.

Speaker 1 (32:03):
The greatest moment I ever had doing this and was
it would have been about ten years ago and I
was at Brown's planes, and I was at a supermarket
and I saw this elderly couple just struggling, and they
were walking through the aisles trying to with a pen
and paper add up the cost of their groceries because

(32:24):
they had a limited amount of money, and so that
we're putting things back on the shelves because they couldn't
afford it. Anyway, I thought bug of that, so I
kind of trailed them a bit like a psychon.

Speaker 5 (32:39):
Not been dodge, and then.

Speaker 1 (32:41):
I just followed them through and I paid for it.
But the thing that always stuck with me, makes me teary,
is that they cried so hard and said, now we
can put petrol in our car.

Speaker 4 (32:52):
Do you know what, I.

Speaker 1 (32:54):
Don't know what people are going through, and if you can,
you're sure.

Speaker 5 (32:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (33:01):
I feel like there's a lot of negative stuff that
gets around the world at the moment. I feel like, No,
I love giving positive stories out when I can. So
it was really nice. It was a really nice thing
that happened.

Speaker 3 (33:11):
And I was just, you know, just shout out to
you Brook.

Speaker 4 (33:17):
After I just I really wish I could have so
thank you some other way, but he didn't want to.

Speaker 1 (33:22):
Just well, the moral out of This is that send
Monty forward at every opportunity.

Speaker 2 (33:29):
Kids smile well.

Speaker 4 (33:33):
In the background, trying to gravel this. There's there's other things,
trying to jump off men.

Speaker 5 (33:41):
Is paying off kid now with Pa
