Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to John's Family podcast for this week now. Today
(00:02):
on the show, we had a very very special one.
Of course, we are talking NRL Grand Final with Cooper
and Camp with the Storm a little bit of insight there.
Cooper does his greatest Hits concert on greatest Ragua League
Players of all time with chat, a couple of times
about Elvis the King, and we touch on Ted Bundy,
Best and World Seria, Killer films, Maddie Strange, News, Mount Rushmore,
(00:24):
greatest music videos in our opinions, and last, this is
the This is the big one, guys, this is the kicker.
Last week we had Brandon Smith who joined us for
a guest appearance. This week have a guest who's going
to join us, Cameron Smith himself ahead of what could
be his final ever game. Cooper organized him.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Cooper, good job, well done, Coeps, Thank.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
You very much.
Speaker 4 (00:46):
Maddie. I don't like you, know me, I don't like
the accolades and things taking all the credit, but I
will if I have to you.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
You must well done mate, Actually this time you deserve
the credit. Listen Prodigal Sun return.
Speaker 5 (01:01):
He'd been a day Jack.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
John's after the elimination of City on Saturday night, the
boys went for just a bit of a review of
the season, and he's just turned up before podcast. I
went together around all the telegraph poles in the area
and take down the missing signs. It's good to see,
but I must say, you're The reception you got when
you walked in the door is dramatically different to the
(01:25):
reception Trish used to give when ice to come into
the door when I was missing for a few days. Yeah, yeah,
you actually cooked him breakfast.
Speaker 5 (01:33):
Of course I did, cooked in breakfast, gave him some vitamins,
made fresh juice, vegetable juice.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
It was Yeah, it.
Speaker 6 (01:39):
Was twelve o'clock.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
I used get fingernails down my back and then what
did you do when she catching on? It's contagious.
Speaker 5 (01:49):
Thanks man.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Now, let's kick this off because we're going to make
some room for Cameron Smith family to kick us off today.
If you were a rugularly grand fine cooper, which would
you be?
Speaker 4 (02:02):
I did Manly versus Melbourne two thousand and eight where
many one forty er because I'm a very dominant figure
and quite aggressive.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
So true. What about you, Jack, if you're able to talk?
Speaker 6 (02:13):
Okay, I've gone with the two thousand and five West
Tigers versus Cowboys game Benji flick pass Pat Richards. I
have no reason why. It's the first thing that came
to my head, and I wrote it down real quick.
Speaker 5 (02:26):
I had to take what you could get.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
You're going to get some officers go on the Bachelor
or double O double five numbers. I'm Jack John's do.
Speaker 5 (02:37):
You think women?
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Do you think women ring those numbers?
Speaker 7 (02:40):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (02:41):
Yeah, I think they would?
Speaker 3 (02:42):
Do you?
Speaker 6 (02:42):
Reckon called Selma before Marge's sister from the Simpsons.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Oh I love Selma?
Speaker 1 (02:49):
What about Nutricia? Me?
Speaker 5 (02:52):
Funny enough? Mine? Is that same game that Cooper the
two thousand and eight Storm versus Manly with Storm.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
Loss against forty nil?
Speaker 2 (03:03):
What wasn't forty to eight? Didn't Cooper to say? I
didn't have.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Forty forty nil?
Speaker 6 (03:07):
I thought you both of you much as the Storm.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
I'm very confused as but remember you were with us too.
Speaker 5 (03:13):
Remember we went with all the Manly fans and we've
been for a few drinks beforehand.
Speaker 6 (03:17):
How he how he how he from the Harbord absolutely
sprayed Cooper, and as you can imagine, he took it very.
Speaker 5 (03:23):
Well because I was very proud of Cooper in amongst
the throng of manly fans that we were amongst.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
I was going for now any particular.
Speaker 5 (03:31):
And Coopy sat there the whole game very quietly with
his Storm backpack on and his Storm paraphernalia. And yeah,
and they lost, and he.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Took it well and for once he didn't take that
gear off at half time. I've gone the nine Tigers
versus Raiders. I think it's still the greatest Grand Final
war as a Tiger's fan. It was a match which
began with great hope and even at half time certainly
of success, but ultimately ended in night with that.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
So that was before I met you. I didn't even
know that was going on.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
There was life before you. Wow, Cooper. We've just touched
on the fact that Jack has been unsided by the
way Jack in those couple of days where the boys
were just sort of catching up, toasting the season. Who
was the best performer? Who come on, give yourself a rap?
Who got the m VP? What? What gave you that award?
What was it?
Speaker 6 (04:25):
Probably reasons I can't explain.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Okay, Cooper. Another Grand Final being four in the last
five years for the Melbourne Storm. How's the move in
the Campeal.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
Diferent to what I've experienced before.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
I've been in one Grand Final score before in twenty
and eighteen, yep, and I think there was a it
was a really different feel. This this sort of group's
a lot closer in my opinion.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Than that group, and I feel like they can really
do something special and yeah, I guess we'll find it
on Sunday.
Speaker 5 (04:55):
What do you think the fact that you've all been
living together for the past few quite a few months
now has made that tight knitness of you all even
closer praise tight knitness.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
I think, yeah, I definitely, I definitely think so.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
I think if I think obviously, if depending on what
happens on Sunday, it'll be, it'll be a Grand Final
that we'll all remember for the rest of our lives
because obviously the year it was. But the adversity that
you know, we've we've overcome this year with moving away
from our homes and being under really strict protocols up here,
(05:37):
not leaving the resort and whatnot, I think I think
that's ultimately led, if you know, it's led to the
success for us to get to the Grand Final, and
hopefully it leads to the success for us to win it, It's.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Gonna be a great Grand Final. It's really funny, Cooper.
In two thousand and six, the Melbourne Storm lost to
the Brisbane Broncos. But I remember after that game feeling
that that that match was passing of the baton from
Brisbane being the best side of the previous fifteen years,
the dominant force in rugby league to this young Storm
side who are about to sort of dominate the next decade.
(06:12):
I'm not going to say the Storm are going to
disappear from the from the radar. I think you guys
will still be a really dominant force in the next
ten years. But I think the main challenge for dominance
in the next decade is going to come from this
young Panthers side. And on top of that, I think
it's a real passing of the baton from Cameron Smith
possibly to young Nathan Cleary.
Speaker 6 (06:34):
You got to you really got to acknowledge the work
that around the rock that apicorus I was done. I
was watching him the other night and some of the
roaming he was doing throughout the middle, and well, he's
he's a very special.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Player that spine. Dylan Edwards is playing the best footballers
career Jerome Ule eyes on fire as you said, happy
and Nathan just speaks for himself. Trish on a on
a completely different note, Your hero Your heroine, Gladys Burry Giplian.
Speaker 5 (07:01):
She's going through a tough time at the moment. And
last week I actually sat there, It's the first time
I've ever done this watching Sky News, watched an i
CAAC inquiry.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Which I thought that was too tough on it.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
What is that?
Speaker 5 (07:16):
Oh, it's an investigation. It's sort of looking for any
wrongdoing within the governments, and so she was brought into it,
and I just I really felt for her. So anyway,
I thought, what can I do? You know, I didn't
want this woman to be brought down by man, and
so I went through Instagram and sent her a message,
(07:37):
did you saying something? I think it was like stay strong,
We're proud of you. And then I sent her and
then I realized I'd sent it from Matt's Instagram.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
I love when she gets through this. She stands up
in the diocese, said, you know what got me through this,
Joey's brother sent me a direct message and I appreciate that,
but I am with you. I didn't.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
She's been our best premier for.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
She has been our best premiere since I don't know
when Nick Griner was did a lot of good stuff,
as did Bob Carr, controversial figure Bob car but he did.
He did a lot for the infrastructure of Sydney. But
I think she has just about been our best. We've
gone through some duds in the last decade.
Speaker 5 (08:19):
Or so, and it's really irritating me that the opposition
leader is sort of coming out saying, oh, she needs
to resign. You know, the people wanted to.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
You know, actually we don't do the people.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
I know, we don't want to resigns us fun weekend,
fun Sunday Trish with the boys being out, with Jack
being out of the house. Jack, it was like our
parents escaping. It's reversed.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
It was weird.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
It was the bubbles.
Speaker 6 (08:42):
The bubbles bursted after see six seven months, so it
would have been weird for your What was it like?
Speaker 1 (08:48):
What was like? We had from eight o'clock in the morning,
we have music blaring. This is some of the great
old you can put it up.
Speaker 5 (08:55):
That's not Jack's not he downstairs.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
We'll listen to the sports. You're on a train who
listens to the rideout Way Out West? Hadn't he that one?
Were were the James Rain version to another one? Billy
Thorpe and the Aztecs. You forget what an incredible live
artist Billy thought was His version of C C.
Speaker 6 (09:12):
Rider was excuse me, very besides the music, what he
was doing was any different behavior? Was there any nude
walking around the house or.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Walk doesn't barely get the old Feller out when it's
human Sunday, but Sunday afternoon. We actually we kicked him
with a couple of movies. Firstly, and Jack, a movie
you're well aware of. And Coop your may have seen it.
Elvis and Nixon. I showed it, Nutricia, It's brilliant. That's
when Richard Nixon, the President of the United States. Well
(09:45):
he Elvis went to Richard Nixon and wanted to be
a federal agent at large. At large. He wanted a badge,
that's what. And you know it's just I love the scene,
Trish where he's sitting at the airport about to fly
to Washington. Elvis and the Elvis and personators came to
him and said, man, you're fantastic.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
No, but he wouldn't wear that.
Speaker 6 (10:06):
Very past where he's doing the is demonstrating his karate
moves for Nickon.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Yeah, that's pretty cringe.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
That's so good and on that I said the truth
during it when Elvison personators going to Elvisa made he
wouldn't wear that, you know, Charlie Chaplin entered a Charlie
Chaplin little like contest and came. Third story. Now, people,
it's time for Maddie's Strange News. I'm gathering some stories
(10:34):
over the last month. I'm just going to read them
to you just because made. They're my favorite stories in
the last month. The first one Jack passes on to me,
I think this is just an incredible story story to
come to New South Wales. A farmer has been left
frustrated by wild bush turkeys getting into his property and
having sex with his chickens.
Speaker 6 (10:52):
Oh, this is going to be a great leading for
Cameron Smith coming on.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Okay, Coops, time for change of pace from wild bush
turkeys onto greatest hits content at Cooper given a grand
final week the greatest rugby league players of all time.
Let's go what what who you're kicking off with?
Speaker 4 (11:10):
But I think it's only fitting that Billy Slater comes
in at number one. Obviously someone I've I've seen, I've
seen first hand play and train his He's obviously everyone
sees what he does on the field, he's a freak
off the field.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
Of training and is how intense he trains and talks.
It's no doubt he's in the list.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Get the me now. Number two.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
So number two I had Bradley Clyde.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Wow, Yep, he's a nice man.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
Okay, it's not it's not how nice he is.
Speaker 5 (11:41):
No, but I met him once or twice and he
was very so one of the most polite people I've
ever met.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Actually, very nice man.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Yeah, okay, the greatest regul league player guy.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
Number number three Jonathan Thurston. Yes, number four is n
I don't really know.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
You met him in Miami, Remember that when you were
trying to drag me to go to bed and I
was like, no, I'm going to hang with the dude,
seening Robbie Farri for a while. I remember as Trish
was dragging me back to the room, they were laughing
at me. I was like, I never felt so small
and petty, and that's saying something.
Speaker 5 (12:17):
Yeah, but that's when we is that the night that
we saved our mate who's married to Mary.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
No, no, that was another night. That was the night
before when the next night you actually drive into bed
as well. Okay, sorry coops.
Speaker 4 (12:27):
Next I had number four Cliffy lyons One.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
What a player, one of the bits I.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Think in the top still playing somewhere.
Speaker 6 (12:37):
No, no, but.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
He only knocked it off about three or four years ago.
I'd say Cliffy in the top three or four ball
players of all time.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
Number five Malmoninger Man.
Speaker 5 (12:48):
Beautiful, what a player, good man.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Remember playing against him for the first time. I ran
onto Canberra Stadium. I looked across as we're about to
kick off. It was one of my first first grade
games and I looked across the halfway and went, hold fuck,
I'm about to play and I just took him down.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
I need a shoulder charge him. Number six Greg the
Brandy Alexander.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
And yes, yep, mate, I think there was a stretch
when you're talking about the greatest half backs of the
eighties into the nineties, into the early nineties. You talk
about they talk about Alfie Langer, and they talk about
Ricky Stewart, but Brandy in a two year period there
was the best player in the world.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
Yeah, it's hard for me to judge.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
Obviously I didn't see that, but I from the watch footage,
I can see this is what I'm judging this list
off number seven.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
I mean, how could I leave this man out?
Speaker 7 (13:39):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (13:40):
He's he's my Yes, he's my favorite. Yes, he's my favorite, isn't.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
It here we go?
Speaker 4 (13:46):
Yes, he's my favorite person in the world.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
I love him with all my heart.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Andrew Johns of all the put down to had that's
probably the biggest kick.
Speaker 6 (13:57):
In the gas Peter Sterling, to be honest.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
Right, Okay, so that's seven. I'm walking out after that.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
You're only doing that because you're not.
Speaker 5 (14:08):
You have mentioned very good list, Coop.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
It was I mean, it was like I was drowning
and he's just put his foot on top of my head.
Speaker 5 (14:15):
You can't be graded everything, mate, We've been lots of
other things. Thanks keeps Jacko. Are you staying.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
Good?
Speaker 5 (14:24):
Gokeep?
Speaker 3 (14:25):
Thank you? Coming out.
Speaker 4 (14:26):
Number eight, I had one of the most successful players
of all time, Glenn Lazarus, the.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Brick with eyes they called him, mate, do you say
the prick with eyes?
Speaker 1 (14:38):
He was one of the greatest winners of all time.
Speaker 5 (14:40):
It's quite interesting all these analogies that people make, like
comparing them to a brick or a block of cheese.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
Do you know what they used to Royan has Ches
used to call Joey the unmade bed.
Speaker 5 (14:52):
Actually describes him, actually does like he's demeanor.
Speaker 4 (14:57):
Yeah, yeah, go keeps yeah, thanks for that, just keep
going off a little spiel. Number nine never ceasars to
amaze me, still still manages to amaze me.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
Camon Smith.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Yeah, well yeah, let me tell you because he's floating
in the background.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
Do you hear that's? Do you hear that?
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Quite literally?
Speaker 5 (15:20):
What hasn't he achieved?
Speaker 1 (15:22):
He hasn't got two TV shows on Fox.
Speaker 5 (15:26):
He's not only won every award, he's won them numerous times.
Speaker 4 (15:30):
Is absolutely he has actually jeeze and number ten, number
ten before you judge for the uncle Stacey Jones, yep.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
I think close to the greatest KEYP week player of
all time. I was Humaghan Mark Raham, but mean what
a player.
Speaker 6 (15:46):
A different era I would have put Benji there.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Well, hang on, it's not your concept.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
Well actually forgetting Benji's the greatest of all time. But
it's time, guys, you're going to go to the uncle.
Speaker 5 (15:57):
Yeah, I think you've done well, creeps.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
I'm in.
Speaker 6 (15:59):
Yeah, I'll go in. I hope to see my my
friend the Marshall at the only.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
Well I've I've already walked out after it.
Speaker 4 (16:05):
He's sulking that number Number eleven, our pummy friend, Sam Burgess.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Yeah, I love Sammy.
Speaker 4 (16:13):
I think, in my opinion, I didn't see a lot
of the old school players, but I think he's the
greatest uh pummy player I've ever.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
Seene Yeap certainly in the argument and.
Speaker 4 (16:23):
Number twelve our savior Peter Bland. He's no kidding.
Speaker 5 (16:28):
That would have been a good one. Yeah, great, great,
it's a great concert, Coop, well done, cups.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
I enjoyed that concept right out. People. That's not waste
any time. He's a guy that, without a shadow of doubt,
he's going to be in Mortal one day. He has.
Trusia said, he's absolutely won everything, although he hasn't a
pedal Triple and Breakfast. He've got two shows on Fox
he's never won. But have you won a LOGI yeah,
I did one about five with the footage show. Yeah,
(16:55):
but I mean still I was on technically there, Fatties.
That's just another kick in the guts now it might
be his final game this weekend. We don't know. Maybe
it is, maybe it isn't, but there's no doubt in
the world. Look, this is what I think. I think
he's the greatest player in the world when you have
a look at the longevity of the career, and the
longer your career is, the harder it is to hold dominance.
(17:16):
And he has done that. So here he is spill
Welcome to John's Family Podcast. Mate. Now, last week we
had Brandon on. We actually label him our third son.
But given your age, I don't think we'll call you
a third son. Maybe you call you creepyunkle camera that.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
Tag Maney.
Speaker 4 (17:38):
Thanks for having me on the Family Podcast. I'm certainly
I could almost be Cooper's Actually, you.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Could be my dad. Before we get under way, I've
got to apologize about Cooper's brother Jack. He's just returned
from Saturday Night after the South's eliminated, and he he
sounds like he's a little husky, sounds like Deborah Harry.
Speaker 6 (18:03):
Yeah, thanks, mate.
Speaker 5 (18:04):
Now, I don't know if we'll get quality from him.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
Cameron. Look, uncle Cameron, I'm going to give you the
respect and not ask, mate, whether you're going to after
this week's Grand Final if it's going to be your
last game. But unless you want to break it here
two links, yes, one three links. He doesn't know. I've
got to say what what are or what were the
(18:32):
factors which will bring you to a decision, Cameron.
Speaker 4 (18:36):
I think it's more based on, you know, whether whether
I feel that, yeah, I want to do it anymore, mate,
And you've been you've been involved a first grade system
before for a long time, and you know, the two
boys are now.
Speaker 7 (18:56):
Experiencing what it's like to be involved in in an
NRL team.
Speaker 4 (18:59):
And the sacrifices you make in your own personal life
and the commitment it takes to play in the National
Rugby League. So for me, Maddie, it's about weighing that up.
And you know, there's no secret I'm getting on a
little bit now. I'm thirty seven, and that means my
family is growing as well, and my children are starting
(19:19):
a little bit older.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
My eldest daughter.
Speaker 4 (19:20):
She's twelve going on thirteen next year, and they're starting
to do a lot of things in their own life, mates.
So it's more to do with, you know, whether I'm
committed to making those sacrifices anymore. It's not really about
you know, how good I feel I'm playing or whether
(19:42):
I can still.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
Make a difference to this footy side.
Speaker 4 (19:45):
I think it's more about, you know, whether I want
to make that commitment anymore.
Speaker 7 (19:49):
And you know it's and a lot of people have
mentioned about, you.
Speaker 4 (19:53):
Know, whether we get a good result on Sunday, and
that will determine things. But I can confirm and that
on your show today, mate, that won't make a difference
whether we want to lose, right, Yeah, mostly I want
to go out there and we want to win, there's
no doubt about that. But that won't determine whether whether
or not I play on next year.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
And that's one of the things that's been misconstrued a
lot of people saying, oh, you know, smith is weighing
up whether it's capable. Well, there's no doubt you get capable.
The sacrifices you've got to continue to make and as
you said, the families get older, although four or five years,
believe me, you'll try to escape.
Speaker 5 (20:28):
If you try and get back in, I should play
on that.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
Yeah, keep going now, Smithy, this Grand Final mate, it's incredible,
the record yourself and the team had in the last
fifteen years. Are you as excited going into this one
to say two thousand and six?
Speaker 4 (20:49):
Yeah, I am money because yeah, and for different reasons, mate,
I six against the Broncos. That was my first ever
Grand Final in the NRL and experiencing that week and
you know, it was a huge It was a huge
week for myself.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
That was the first time I sported the Delian medal
as well, so it was quite a well.
Speaker 4 (21:09):
Within seven days. But you know, I think for different
reasons this year, it's exciting for me this year. You know,
this is my eighth Grand Final that I've been fortunate
enough to be a part of. And you know, I
think the most for the most part, the excitement comes from,
you know, seeing guys like your young fella here have
been involved in a Grand Final squad and Grand Final week,
(21:33):
and guys of Pappenhausen and Hughes being involved in their
first Grand Final and justin Olham as well, and you know,
just seeing the excitement on their faces and watching them
grows as.
Speaker 7 (21:45):
Regular league players, as footballs, but as men as well.
You know.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
Being the captain and.
Speaker 4 (21:51):
Sort of the oldest oldest Blak in the team, it's
it's just great to see guys, you know, building their
own careers at such a wonderful club and continuing the.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
Success that we've had here for such a long time.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
Before we have a little bit of fun mate. The
dominance we touched on before the Melbourne Storm has been
last fifteen years quite incredible. And what makes it even
more amazing for you camera is over the years the
players you've lost, you know, the Adam Blair, been a
number of guys, but Israel, Flaur, greg inglis Cooper Kronk,
really Slater. At any point, Smithy, did you go into
(22:25):
a season thinking I don't know about this year. I
think we're going to do it tough.
Speaker 4 (22:29):
No, I'm not really, And that's never been the mindset
of our clubmate and particularly with Craig being the coach
and from from the first day he turned up late
in two thousand and two all the way to the
point we're at now is it's never been about thinking
that you or having the mindset that you just making
up the numbers.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
It's always been.
Speaker 4 (22:50):
About being the very best you can be a training
and then giving yourself good opportunity to play.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
Well on the weekend. If you do that, then you're
going to be.
Speaker 4 (22:57):
Competitive and you're going to be pointing end of the
season when when those games matter. So there's never been
a season where I ever thought, well, it's just not
going to be our year, and you know, I'm just
hoping for the best, you know, like you can, you
can hope for the best. But I think what really counts,
(23:18):
what really matters, is going out and making sure you
take any sort of luck out of it. And I
think we've done that every season, you know, I've been
involved in the club.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
There's probably been a couple of years where where, you know.
Speaker 4 (23:33):
Particularly like twenty eighteen where we lost Trooper Crunk and
we had a lot of changes that year and a
lot of young, young, inexperienced players in our team, and
we made the Grand Final.
Speaker 7 (23:45):
And I probably thought that year, although.
Speaker 4 (23:48):
We didn't win the Grand Final, the Rusters were far
too good on in that match. I was actually quite
satisfied with the way we played in the result that year,
you know, finished second to one of the best sides
we've seen in the modern game. I thought that was
a great result for our club. But yeah, there's never
been a year mate, where I've I've entered the competition
(24:12):
and thought, well, you know, it's just it's not going
to be a year and let's just hope for the best.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
Been a strange year Smith, of course, all the COVID
things pauses changes in the rules. You like, have been
living in each other's pockets all the year up on
Sunny Coast there? What have you learned about someone like
Cameron Munster. So, I mean, look, I heard I heard that.
I heard Craig gave him a month off so we
could finish his hs C. But he reckons year ten
(24:41):
with the best ten years of his life.
Speaker 4 (24:45):
Yeah, well, like we've we've some of our turn rounds, guys,
we've you know, we get we had a couple of
days off a week on the long long turn rounds,
and you know, we've we've actually a few of the
partners of teachers, aren't they or like kindie teachers or
whatever or grade three teachers.
Speaker 7 (25:03):
Care Munster's actually been in those classes.
Speaker 6 (25:06):
All the children.
Speaker 5 (25:10):
He'd disrupted jumped.
Speaker 4 (25:14):
Yeah, he jumped in. He jumped in with Jerome Mus's partner, Molly.
So she's she's a teacher, she's a qualified teacher, and
I think she's.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
Like secondary school tea trade. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (25:25):
So anyway, yeah, but she's been looking after all of
the kids here are still primary school students. Anyway, Munster
jumped in with my eldness to Jaja and Jasper, and
the following day, the following day he got knocked down
to the kindergarten because he couldn't keep.
Speaker 3 (25:39):
Up with minds him.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
So, I'll tell you what, Jerome, want to be careful.
I wouldn't let muster anywhere near my wife. Although all
though Smithie one one year's off, Cooper brought him back
to our place, you and your master to show massive Blue.
Speaker 5 (25:57):
We did. We had words, really, yes we did.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
What was that about?
Speaker 5 (26:02):
I don't remember really. I think he may have said
something about my singing took great events.
Speaker 3 (26:08):
Now I'm pretty true.
Speaker 7 (26:09):
I'm pretty sure he told you to go.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
He told you to go to bed.
Speaker 5 (26:12):
Did Yeah. I was about to knock him out. It
was only his friends.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
Don't worry. He was going to follow in creepy Now.
This podcast, oh yeah yeah, this podcast with is very
much about music film wondering why the boys spent half
an hour on the toilet in the shower, mate, Let's
(26:41):
a couple of questions so that people if you are
going to say Hurrah, get a little of sense. What Smithy,
what are you more likely to go to a Jimmy
Barnes concert or Coldplay concert?
Speaker 7 (26:53):
Cold Play, I've actually I've actually been to two.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
I went to.
Speaker 7 (27:01):
Went to a when they come out to Australia.
Speaker 4 (27:03):
They might have been a couple of couple of summers
ago at down at.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
Marble Stadium in packed house. And then on the he.
Speaker 4 (27:13):
Was on the two and sixteen for Nations Till We're
in London and Coop Scooper Krong. Actually he got a
couple of tickets to like this really small performance, a
little intimate performance here in the middle of town. There's
(27:33):
like only two thousand people there.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
So that was cold Play.
Speaker 5 (27:36):
They put on a good concept. You've been to cold
Player as well, Coop, haven't you?
Speaker 2 (27:40):
And I have?
Speaker 3 (27:41):
Yeah, we went with the Alexander's.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (27:44):
Yeah, you're not big on the map, but they do
put on a very good show.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
Who do you go?
Speaker 1 (27:51):
I gave Jimmy Barnes. I just think Chris Martin is
like a wet piece of lettuce. He's like that. He's
like that pair of like a pair of underpants you
just throw on the corner of the room after you've
been on a three day bender.
Speaker 5 (28:05):
Yeah, maybe you should throw these.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
I'll just burn them. Who would have thought? Cooper Kronk
with a cold fan. It's a right, smith you will
let it that out. What are you most likely to watch?
A romantic comedy or a horror film?
Speaker 4 (28:28):
Romantic comedy, Mate, I can't stand horror films. I don't
know why people watch them.
Speaker 7 (28:31):
Why do you put yourself.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
We're talking about the two thousand and eight year.
Speaker 4 (28:34):
Final Romantic comedy mate down right?
Speaker 1 (28:41):
Who you're most likely to hang out with? Wayne Bennett
or Wayne Rooney?
Speaker 4 (28:50):
Well, I'm just going to say, like, geographically, Wayne Bennett.
Who is Wayne going to be hard to get ahold of?
Speaker 3 (28:57):
Wayne?
Speaker 1 (28:57):
Yeah? Wayne Rooney is a United legend. So that's what
I was going to say. One a one a balding
desperate and the other one's wayn't Rooney.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
It's not very nice.
Speaker 6 (29:09):
I want to I like it to text later it's okay.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
In an altimate universe, an ultimate universe, alternate universe, Smithy,
who would you like most likely play for the Broncos?
Are the Titans?
Speaker 3 (29:29):
What's that? What's that? Alternate universe? One? Yes, it is
probably there.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
We go go to the Titans, and you wouldn't go
to the Broncos.
Speaker 5 (29:44):
I'm a supporter.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
Yeah, ah, poor old Broncos. They've become you know.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
The Titans, true, I do.
Speaker 5 (29:52):
I like them a lot.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
Trish has got low standards.
Speaker 3 (29:55):
What about you storm there you go?
Speaker 5 (30:00):
You know, for my personal selfish reasons, I'd like Smithy
to state the story for Cooper's benefits.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
If we go to the Knights, all the West Tigers
if you like coming ninth? Oh, right to finish with
Smithy to finish with a little i Q test. If
you stand on the scales and your wait eighty five kolos,
how much do your waif if you lift one league?
Speaker 3 (30:26):
Are think it would be the same? Mate? Eighty five?
Speaker 1 (30:28):
Damn it? That was going to be our headline.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
Ah.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
Actually I got the wrong camera. I was going to
ask months to that. Mate. Listen, Smithy, we're taking up
too much of your time. I'm looking forward to the
book coming out that you've written with Andrew Webster.
Speaker 5 (30:46):
What's it called?
Speaker 1 (30:47):
It's called what's it called? Jesus?
Speaker 3 (30:51):
What's it? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (30:53):
What is your I think that was called advance here? Sure, Cam,
I've got to warn you. Red Ragan carves you up
on Sunday.
Speaker 7 (31:08):
Yep, after the season, sinish, can you get yeah? Can
I chase up those details off your absolutely will.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
I'll lend you my plugs. Smithy, listen, good good luck
for Sunday. In my opinion, you could play for another
two seasons, but you've outlined the reasons why your second
guests and your says you still absolutely understand that, and
the other thing on top of that, you've just got
nothing left to prove. So have a good one, pal,
enjoy it.
Speaker 7 (31:37):
Awesome, Thank you guys, appreciate it.
Speaker 5 (31:39):
Good luck and welcome to the family.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
Well there he goes, Cameron Smith just saunt us off
into the background.
Speaker 5 (31:44):
Can I ask you, Matt for a question, So, baby,
who was the oldest and what age was it oldest
player ever in the NREL because thirty seven have to
be up there, right.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
I think Cliffy Lions I think played about thirty five,
maybe thirty six. I think Smithy's got it.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
Yeah, that's just another award.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
Is certainly he is the oldest to play NRL in
the modern era. Yeah, and as you said before, we're
just talking to me before he's got another couple of
years in him, but he makes a very good point.
It's not about is he able to do it? It's
about what you're sacrificing along the way. And there you go.
Speaker 3 (32:24):
Mate.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
One of thanks Smith is that he was very candid,
very very honest, and Jesus worried about that. Here though,
it's just disappearing. I hate to see his pillow every morning.
This one listener question, who's the one person in the
world that that if you met, they would leave you speechless? Trisu?
Speaker 5 (32:45):
Do you know what I really struggled with this?
Speaker 1 (32:48):
That's funny because you came up with a concept.
Speaker 5 (32:50):
Yeah, I know, but do you remember who I said
i'd like to meet?
Speaker 6 (32:54):
No?
Speaker 1 (32:54):
Do you know that's a sign to get old?
Speaker 5 (32:57):
Yeah? I know, but you know I think no matter
who I meant, I'd usually find something to say, even
if it was really ridiculous and random. But I'm thinking
at the moment, who would like to meet and I
would have no words for them is Gladys Bary Jaculine
and I'd just give it a hug. Sister hood.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
It's in this COVID period, maybe just better off touching gloves.
What about you, Jacka, are you Okay, are you're like there? Sorry,
I'm okay.
Speaker 5 (33:23):
So I'm just stearing's just counting down the second till
you can.
Speaker 6 (33:28):
I've gone with Mick Jagger from the rolling standards between
him and Peter Blandy's.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
It was a hard split. That's a tough split, you know.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
I think I'd rather meet Peter Baland and Mick Jagger.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
Okay about you, Cooper John's.
Speaker 3 (33:40):
I had to. I had Barry Gibb because I do
so much impressions of him that I wouldn't know.
Speaker 7 (33:45):
I didn't know whether i'd actually do the impression for
him or.
Speaker 2 (33:48):
Whether he'd heard them previously and been offended.
Speaker 3 (33:51):
Yeah, I don't think I had.
Speaker 4 (33:53):
It's a pretty safe bet. I'm pretty sure he hadn't
heard my impression.
Speaker 3 (33:58):
And uh, Michael Jordan.
Speaker 6 (34:03):
Oh yeah, maybe a couple of strange dudes to having
a room together.
Speaker 3 (34:11):
Sex.
Speaker 1 (34:13):
What was that I could write a song about you? Jordan?
Oh god, oh god. I've gone Walt Disney because Walt's
dead and that would amaze me. Well, he's not.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
Frozen, isn't it.
Speaker 5 (34:26):
We discussed that now to day.
Speaker 1 (34:27):
If I met Walt Disney, it wouldn't mean that he's
been defrosted. That would surprise. Do you know that Walt
Disney had wooden teeth?
Speaker 6 (34:36):
Really?
Speaker 1 (34:37):
Yep?
Speaker 2 (34:37):
Where did you hear this?
Speaker 1 (34:38):
Seriously, I'm telling you read it.
Speaker 3 (34:40):
He was.
Speaker 1 (34:41):
He had wooden teeth. So even though he made great
animation like Steambak, Mickey and whatnot, mate, would you give
would you take all that to have wooden teeth?
Speaker 2 (34:49):
No?
Speaker 5 (34:50):
Why did he have wooden teeth? Like because false teeth
have been around for a long time.
Speaker 1 (34:53):
Yeah, well, well he might have gotten dragged out and
put false teeth in there, but at one point he
had wooden teeth.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
I just can't understand that.
Speaker 5 (35:02):
What about when you're drinking?
Speaker 2 (35:04):
I don't know, I don't have Maybe I'm going to
do a little research.

What's that one where he plays the rock star? It
was it was as yeah, yeah, so I've heard that
he channeled that guy from the darkness in his character
and you can sort of see it. Okay, I've gone
(39:26):
Walk this Way, Run DMC, Aerosmith. Here's a great interview
about the other day. You know that at first both
both bands were really reluctant to do it. But what
a gave Aerosmith A gave Aero Smith sort of international acclaim.
They are a big American band, but not huge as
far as international sales and things like that, and it
(39:47):
gave run DMC sort of moving into the mainstream, although
people argue after it that Run DMC it sort of
ruined a bit of their credibility in the hip hop community.
So the next one I've Done All I Want is
You by You two Acquiants from Oasis, and it's the
second release of Acquians. When they released for Stop the Clocks,
(40:07):
it was it shot. It's a Japanese cover band of Oasis.

night for you. This this obscure facts. The topic is
birds and heights.

scared of heights given the fact they fly?

Speaker 1 (41:29):
Did you say it attacks Jerome Hughes. Jerome attacks Jerome.

probably get a bed, you know.
Speaker 3 (44:13):
You are.
Speaker 1 (44:13):
You're in Australian well jacka.
Speaker 6 (44:17):
Uh, I actually missed this one.
Speaker 1 (44:21):
Sorry, it doesn't matter. That makes me angry? What about you, Coops?
Speaker 3 (44:25):
This is going to make people angry.
Speaker 4 (44:27):
But I don't like little little cherry tomatoes in my
salad the best.
Speaker 6 (44:34):
I agree, I definitely agree.
Speaker 5 (44:36):
You don't like tomato in general. That do you like
tomato in general, Cooper? Or you just don't like the
cherry tomatoes.
Speaker 4 (44:41):
I like tomatoes or my burgers. I don't want them
in my salard.
Speaker 2 (44:44):
You don't want them in your salad.
Speaker 1 (44:45):
This is going to make people angry. But I think
everyone should have the option to change their name immediately.
So you should have the option that you don't go
through all the red tape and everything, and you should
just be able to straight away just change your name.
I use it an example. A Welsh guy who's a
famous singer was born Arnold Dorsey, which is a fairly
boring name. Well, he changed it to Engelbert.
Speaker 5 (45:09):
Legally though, ye, well just very.
Speaker 1 (45:13):
I don't know. I don't know, but it's cooler, which
he did. Please release me, pleasese release me, let me go.
I don't love you anymore.
Speaker 2 (45:23):
That was seeing that to me on the weekend, there'd
be a lot.
Speaker 6 (45:26):
Of complications there copper identity theft.
Speaker 2 (45:29):
And that's right.
Speaker 1 (45:30):
There's some people I studied strange names. Here's some people
who and this is another reason why should people should
be able to change it. This is these people were
born with this name, mister Perv, Dick Long, Paul two Cox,
Willie Stroker Wade for this, McDonald berger is a German guy,
(45:53):
McDonald berger, Dick ass Man, Yoshi take a shitter, and
fat Hoe.
Speaker 5 (46:03):
So yeah, but you're bringing them in from other languages.
Speaker 1 (46:06):
So I want to change my name from this point on.
Speaker 5 (46:08):
What would you like to be addressed?
Speaker 1 (46:09):
I'm going to be called Edson thunder Snap. That's good Edson,
which was Palai's realm. That is the coolest.
Speaker 6 (46:17):
That is the coolest name of Elson Snap.
Speaker 1 (46:19):
So that's from this point for you, you will refer
to me as Edson Thundersnap.
Speaker 2 (46:25):
I don't have to be missus Thundersnap, do I?
Speaker 1 (46:27):
Yes? You do know?
Speaker 5 (46:28):
Don't I get a choice too?
Speaker 1 (46:30):
Brother, You're going to be Ethel thunder Snap. Okay, top

be cruel the King Elvis Presley. The second one is
the cover of Elvis Presley did from Simon and garfun
cale Bridge Have a Troubled Water Yes, and number three
Elvis's song about STDs Burning Love, Number two in the
(48:29):
Ghetto and number one, which is my favorite. William Nelson
does a great version as well. Always on my mind.
Great song Trush. We watched two Member. We watched the
Ted Bundy film with Zac Efron the other day. I
always knew he was a bad guy, zach Man.
Speaker 5 (48:45):
It is really good, interesting the insights into a serial
killer and how manipulative of people and situations they can be.
They're kind of did you.
Speaker 3 (48:55):
Guys see that on Did you guys see that on
my story? The other day? I did a post about it.
Speaker 6 (48:59):
No, didn't, I saw it? How it got to you guys?
Speaker 1 (49:02):
Yeah? Yeah, he was.
Speaker 4 (49:05):
I reckon, I reckon, he copied me. I reckon, He's
copyed me. But it is outstanding. Zac Efron does a
really good seri killer.
Speaker 1 (49:11):
He frighteningly said Bundy. I mean, if he could have
the judge when he sentenced him said, if only you
could have channeled your mind in the positive, what you
could have been because like he just was his own
defense lawyer. It's quite incredible.
Speaker 5 (49:25):
He has been a little student.
Speaker 2 (49:26):
That's why he was able to do that.
Speaker 1 (49:28):
Best and worst surikiller films.
Speaker 5 (49:30):
Trish okay, because I actually don't think I've watched many
about from that one the other day, so my best
is going to be extremely wicked, shockingly evil and vile,
the Ted Bundy one and the worst. I haven't seen this,
but I just didn't look.
Speaker 2 (49:44):
I just didn't like.
Speaker 5 (49:48):
The way Charlie's throne looked in Monster. She was creepy looking.
And there's something particularly evil about a female serial killer
too as a woman.
Speaker 1 (49:57):
I love Trisha. Robin Newcastle once and end up a Newcastle.
Peoples is this old radio broadcaster and he calls the
you know, all the various races. Actually he actually used
to commentate on the rugby league up there, Phil called
Gary Harley and Gaz. If he didn't know about it,
he used to act like he knew about it. So
people remember once in view a person with ten Vin
(50:18):
Balin and they'd say to you, yeah, that's right. And
I was listening to one day and he goes, we'll
give us a call one three hundred think and you
can win double pass to go see this new movie
starring Charlie thurs On. It's called Monster. Let me tell
you night and the bloke can act JACKA.
Speaker 6 (50:41):
Okay, I've gone. I've gone Best Signs of the Lambs
because you know he's got two of the greatest, you know,
serial killers in it. Didn't real it's an elector in
Buffalo Bill. And then the worst I've gone the screen franchise.
Speaker 1 (50:58):
Yeah yeah, with you Make Out of bed Mate. Could
we just a bit finished and take it easy? Credit
to yourself and your family.
Speaker 6 (51:05):
God bless you.
Speaker 1 (51:07):
Parents are proud of you. But Coop, what do you got?
Speaker 3 (51:10):
Man? Now?
Speaker 4 (51:10):
I did I did extremely wicked, shockingly evil and vile
as well.
Speaker 3 (51:15):
I thought that's the best I've seen. But I want
to just talk to about something.
Speaker 4 (51:19):
The worst one I've done is it's based on a
true story, but what it's based on.
Speaker 3 (51:25):
It's based off a man's.
Speaker 4 (51:26):
Toy who turned evil and try to destroy them.
Speaker 3 (51:30):
It's called child's play.
Speaker 5 (51:32):
Is that Chucky?
Speaker 1 (51:33):
It is? It is?
Speaker 5 (51:36):
Do you know I've never seen it.
Speaker 1 (51:37):
I've only seen it's hilarious, It really is.
Speaker 5 (51:40):
Is it hilarious?
Speaker 1 (51:41):
It's hilarious. My my number one, My best is seven
film called seven Brad Kevin Spacey. It is terrifying and
special mention to Friday the thirdth part two. And my
worst is I'm with Cooper Chuckie too because it's look,
it just can't help but love Chucky. He's really cute
(52:03):
and even when he's carrying a knife and trying to
kill people, he's just going, you know, good on him,
Good on that doll. Anyway, that's all we've got time
for Cooper. You are Cooper Jack Rod have been MVP
the last few days. You are m v P today
for landing your captain Cameron Smith ahead of what could
be his last game. Very good of him and a
few days just out from the Grand Final. So good
(52:24):
on you.
Speaker 2 (52:25):
We wish you all the bests on the best of
the team.
Speaker 1 (52:28):
Good luck on Sunday.
Speaker 4 (52:31):
See you guys, I appreciate you too, both equally thank you, but.
Speaker 2 (52:35):
Me a little more right.
Speaker 3 (52:38):
Know you do.
Speaker 1 (52:39):
That's called charity.
Welcome to John's Family podcast for this week now. Today
(00:02):
on the show, we had a very very special one.
Of course, we are talking NRL Grand Final with Cooper
and Camp with the Storm a little bit of insight there.
Cooper does his greatest Hits concert on greatest Ragua League
Players of all time with chat, a couple of times
about Elvis the King, and we touch on Ted Bundy,
Best and World Seria, Killer films, Maddie Strange, News, Mount Rushmore,
(00:24):
greatest music videos in our opinions, and last, this is
the This is the big one, guys, this is the kicker.
Last week we had Brandon Smith who joined us for
a guest appearance. This week have a guest who's going
to join us, Cameron Smith himself ahead of what could
be his final ever game. Cooper organized him.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Cooper, good job, well done, Coeps, Thank.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
You very much.
Speaker 4 (00:46):
Maddie. I don't like you, know me, I don't like
the accolades and things taking all the credit, but I
will if I have to you.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
You must well done mate, Actually this time you deserve
the credit. Listen Prodigal Sun return.
Speaker 5 (01:01):
He'd been a day Jack.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
John's after the elimination of City on Saturday night, the
boys went for just a bit of a review of
the season, and he's just turned up before podcast. I
went together around all the telegraph poles in the area
and take down the missing signs. It's good to see,
but I must say, you're The reception you got when
you walked in the door is dramatically different to the
(01:25):
reception Trish used to give when ice to come into
the door when I was missing for a few days. Yeah, yeah,
you actually cooked him breakfast.
Speaker 5 (01:33):
Of course I did, cooked in breakfast, gave him some vitamins,
made fresh juice, vegetable juice.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
It was Yeah, it.
Speaker 6 (01:39):
Was twelve o'clock.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
I used get fingernails down my back and then what
did you do when she catching on? It's contagious.
Speaker 5 (01:49):
Thanks man.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Now, let's kick this off because we're going to make
some room for Cameron Smith family to kick us off today.
If you were a rugularly grand fine cooper, which would
you be?
Speaker 4 (02:02):
I did Manly versus Melbourne two thousand and eight where
many one forty er because I'm a very dominant figure
and quite aggressive.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
So true. What about you, Jack, if you're able to talk?
Speaker 6 (02:13):
Okay, I've gone with the two thousand and five West
Tigers versus Cowboys game Benji flick pass Pat Richards. I
have no reason why. It's the first thing that came
to my head, and I wrote it down real quick.
Speaker 5 (02:26):
I had to take what you could get.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
You're going to get some officers go on the Bachelor
or double O double five numbers. I'm Jack John's do.
Speaker 5 (02:37):
You think women?
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Do you think women ring those numbers?
Speaker 7 (02:40):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (02:41):
Yeah, I think they would?
Speaker 3 (02:42):
Do you?
Speaker 6 (02:42):
Reckon called Selma before Marge's sister from the Simpsons.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Oh I love Selma?
Speaker 1 (02:49):
What about Nutricia? Me?
Speaker 5 (02:52):
Funny enough? Mine? Is that same game that Cooper the
two thousand and eight Storm versus Manly with Storm.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
Loss against forty nil?
Speaker 2 (03:03):
What wasn't forty to eight? Didn't Cooper to say? I
didn't have.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Forty forty nil?
Speaker 6 (03:07):
I thought you both of you much as the Storm.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
I'm very confused as but remember you were with us too.
Speaker 5 (03:13):
Remember we went with all the Manly fans and we've
been for a few drinks beforehand.
Speaker 6 (03:17):
How he how he how he from the Harbord absolutely
sprayed Cooper, and as you can imagine, he took it very.
Speaker 5 (03:23):
Well because I was very proud of Cooper in amongst
the throng of manly fans that we were amongst.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
I was going for now any particular.
Speaker 5 (03:31):
And Coopy sat there the whole game very quietly with
his Storm backpack on and his Storm paraphernalia. And yeah,
and they lost, and he.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Took it well and for once he didn't take that
gear off at half time. I've gone the nine Tigers
versus Raiders. I think it's still the greatest Grand Final
war as a Tiger's fan. It was a match which
began with great hope and even at half time certainly
of success, but ultimately ended in night with that.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
So that was before I met you. I didn't even
know that was going on.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
There was life before you. Wow, Cooper. We've just touched
on the fact that Jack has been unsided by the
way Jack in those couple of days where the boys
were just sort of catching up, toasting the season. Who
was the best performer? Who come on, give yourself a rap?
Who got the m VP? What? What gave you that award?
What was it?
Speaker 6 (04:25):
Probably reasons I can't explain.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Okay, Cooper. Another Grand Final being four in the last
five years for the Melbourne Storm. How's the move in
the Campeal.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
Diferent to what I've experienced before.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
I've been in one Grand Final score before in twenty
and eighteen, yep, and I think there was a it
was a really different feel. This this sort of group's
a lot closer in my opinion.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Than that group, and I feel like they can really
do something special and yeah, I guess we'll find it
on Sunday.
Speaker 5 (04:55):
What do you think the fact that you've all been
living together for the past few quite a few months
now has made that tight knitness of you all even
closer praise tight knitness.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
I think, yeah, I definitely, I definitely think so.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
I think if I think obviously, if depending on what
happens on Sunday, it'll be, it'll be a Grand Final
that we'll all remember for the rest of our lives
because obviously the year it was. But the adversity that
you know, we've we've overcome this year with moving away
from our homes and being under really strict protocols up here,
(05:37):
not leaving the resort and whatnot, I think I think
that's ultimately led, if you know, it's led to the
success for us to get to the Grand Final, and
hopefully it leads to the success for us to win it, It's.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Gonna be a great Grand Final. It's really funny, Cooper.
In two thousand and six, the Melbourne Storm lost to
the Brisbane Broncos. But I remember after that game feeling
that that that match was passing of the baton from
Brisbane being the best side of the previous fifteen years,
the dominant force in rugby league to this young Storm
side who are about to sort of dominate the next decade.
(06:12):
I'm not going to say the Storm are going to
disappear from the from the radar. I think you guys
will still be a really dominant force in the next
ten years. But I think the main challenge for dominance
in the next decade is going to come from this
young Panthers side. And on top of that, I think
it's a real passing of the baton from Cameron Smith
possibly to young Nathan Cleary.
Speaker 6 (06:34):
You got to you really got to acknowledge the work
that around the rock that apicorus I was done. I
was watching him the other night and some of the
roaming he was doing throughout the middle, and well, he's
he's a very special.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Player that spine. Dylan Edwards is playing the best footballers
career Jerome Ule eyes on fire as you said, happy
and Nathan just speaks for himself. Trish on a on
a completely different note, Your hero Your heroine, Gladys Burry Giplian.
Speaker 5 (07:01):
She's going through a tough time at the moment. And
last week I actually sat there, It's the first time
I've ever done this watching Sky News, watched an i
CAAC inquiry.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Which I thought that was too tough on it.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
What is that?
Speaker 5 (07:16):
Oh, it's an investigation. It's sort of looking for any
wrongdoing within the governments, and so she was brought into it,
and I just I really felt for her. So anyway,
I thought, what can I do? You know, I didn't
want this woman to be brought down by man, and
so I went through Instagram and sent her a message,
(07:37):
did you saying something? I think it was like stay strong,
We're proud of you. And then I sent her and
then I realized I'd sent it from Matt's Instagram.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
I love when she gets through this. She stands up
in the diocese, said, you know what got me through this,
Joey's brother sent me a direct message and I appreciate that,
but I am with you. I didn't.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
She's been our best premier for.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
She has been our best premiere since I don't know
when Nick Griner was did a lot of good stuff,
as did Bob Carr, controversial figure Bob car but he did.
He did a lot for the infrastructure of Sydney. But
I think she has just about been our best. We've
gone through some duds in the last decade.
Speaker 5 (08:19):
Or so, and it's really irritating me that the opposition
leader is sort of coming out saying, oh, she needs
to resign. You know, the people wanted to.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
You know, actually we don't do the people.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
I know, we don't want to resigns us fun weekend,
fun Sunday Trish with the boys being out, with Jack
being out of the house. Jack, it was like our
parents escaping. It's reversed.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
It was weird.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
It was the bubbles.
Speaker 6 (08:42):
The bubbles bursted after see six seven months, so it
would have been weird for your What was it like?
Speaker 1 (08:48):
What was like? We had from eight o'clock in the morning,
we have music blaring. This is some of the great
old you can put it up.
Speaker 5 (08:55):
That's not Jack's not he downstairs.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
We'll listen to the sports. You're on a train who
listens to the rideout Way Out West? Hadn't he that one?
Were were the James Rain version to another one? Billy
Thorpe and the Aztecs. You forget what an incredible live
artist Billy thought was His version of C C.
Speaker 6 (09:12):
Rider was excuse me, very besides the music, what he
was doing was any different behavior? Was there any nude
walking around the house or.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Walk doesn't barely get the old Feller out when it's
human Sunday, but Sunday afternoon. We actually we kicked him
with a couple of movies. Firstly, and Jack, a movie
you're well aware of. And Coop your may have seen it.
Elvis and Nixon. I showed it, Nutricia, It's brilliant. That's
when Richard Nixon, the President of the United States. Well
(09:45):
he Elvis went to Richard Nixon and wanted to be
a federal agent at large. At large. He wanted a badge,
that's what. And you know it's just I love the scene,
Trish where he's sitting at the airport about to fly
to Washington. Elvis and the Elvis and personators came to
him and said, man, you're fantastic.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
No, but he wouldn't wear that.
Speaker 6 (10:06):
Very past where he's doing the is demonstrating his karate
moves for Nickon.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Yeah, that's pretty cringe.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
That's so good and on that I said the truth
during it when Elvison personators going to Elvisa made he
wouldn't wear that, you know, Charlie Chaplin entered a Charlie
Chaplin little like contest and came. Third story. Now, people,
it's time for Maddie's Strange News. I'm gathering some stories
(10:34):
over the last month. I'm just going to read them
to you just because made. They're my favorite stories in
the last month. The first one Jack passes on to me,
I think this is just an incredible story story to
come to New South Wales. A farmer has been left
frustrated by wild bush turkeys getting into his property and
having sex with his chickens.
Speaker 6 (10:52):
Oh, this is going to be a great leading for
Cameron Smith coming on.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Okay, Coops, time for change of pace from wild bush
turkeys onto greatest hits content at Cooper given a grand
final week the greatest rugby league players of all time.
Let's go what what who you're kicking off with?
Speaker 4 (11:10):
But I think it's only fitting that Billy Slater comes
in at number one. Obviously someone I've I've seen, I've
seen first hand play and train his He's obviously everyone
sees what he does on the field, he's a freak
off the field.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
Of training and is how intense he trains and talks.
It's no doubt he's in the list.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Get the me now. Number two.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
So number two I had Bradley Clyde.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Wow, Yep, he's a nice man.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
Okay, it's not it's not how nice he is.
Speaker 5 (11:41):
No, but I met him once or twice and he
was very so one of the most polite people I've
ever met.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Actually, very nice man.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Yeah, okay, the greatest regul league player guy.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
Number number three Jonathan Thurston. Yes, number four is n
I don't really know.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
You met him in Miami, Remember that when you were
trying to drag me to go to bed and I
was like, no, I'm going to hang with the dude,
seening Robbie Farri for a while. I remember as Trish
was dragging me back to the room, they were laughing
at me. I was like, I never felt so small
and petty, and that's saying something.
Speaker 5 (12:17):
Yeah, but that's when we is that the night that
we saved our mate who's married to Mary.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
No, no, that was another night. That was the night
before when the next night you actually drive into bed
as well. Okay, sorry coops.
Speaker 4 (12:27):
Next I had number four Cliffy lyons One.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
What a player, one of the bits I.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Think in the top still playing somewhere.
Speaker 6 (12:37):
No, no, but.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
He only knocked it off about three or four years ago.
I'd say Cliffy in the top three or four ball
players of all time.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
Number five Malmoninger Man.
Speaker 5 (12:48):
Beautiful, what a player, good man.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Remember playing against him for the first time. I ran
onto Canberra Stadium. I looked across as we're about to
kick off. It was one of my first first grade
games and I looked across the halfway and went, hold fuck,
I'm about to play and I just took him down.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
I need a shoulder charge him. Number six Greg the
Brandy Alexander.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
And yes, yep, mate, I think there was a stretch
when you're talking about the greatest half backs of the
eighties into the nineties, into the early nineties. You talk
about they talk about Alfie Langer, and they talk about
Ricky Stewart, but Brandy in a two year period there
was the best player in the world.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
Yeah, it's hard for me to judge.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
Obviously I didn't see that, but I from the watch footage,
I can see this is what I'm judging this list
off number seven.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
I mean, how could I leave this man out?
Speaker 7 (13:39):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (13:40):
He's he's my Yes, he's my favorite. Yes, he's my favorite, isn't.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
It here we go?
Speaker 4 (13:46):
Yes, he's my favorite person in the world.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
I love him with all my heart.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Andrew Johns of all the put down to had that's
probably the biggest kick.
Speaker 6 (13:57):
In the gas Peter Sterling, to be honest.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
Right, Okay, so that's seven. I'm walking out after that.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
You're only doing that because you're not.
Speaker 5 (14:08):
You have mentioned very good list, Coop.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
It was I mean, it was like I was drowning
and he's just put his foot on top of my head.
Speaker 5 (14:15):
You can't be graded everything, mate, We've been lots of
other things. Thanks keeps Jacko. Are you staying.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
Good?
Speaker 5 (14:24):
Gokeep?
Speaker 3 (14:25):
Thank you? Coming out.
Speaker 4 (14:26):
Number eight, I had one of the most successful players
of all time, Glenn Lazarus, the.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Brick with eyes they called him, mate, do you say
the prick with eyes?
Speaker 1 (14:38):
He was one of the greatest winners of all time.
Speaker 5 (14:40):
It's quite interesting all these analogies that people make, like
comparing them to a brick or a block of cheese.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
Do you know what they used to Royan has Ches
used to call Joey the unmade bed.
Speaker 5 (14:52):
Actually describes him, actually does like he's demeanor.
Speaker 4 (14:57):
Yeah, yeah, go keeps yeah, thanks for that, just keep
going off a little spiel. Number nine never ceasars to
amaze me, still still manages to amaze me.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
Camon Smith.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Yeah, well yeah, let me tell you because he's floating
in the background.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
Do you hear that's? Do you hear that?
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Quite literally?
Speaker 5 (15:20):
What hasn't he achieved?
Speaker 1 (15:22):
He hasn't got two TV shows on Fox.
Speaker 5 (15:26):
He's not only won every award, he's won them numerous times.
Speaker 4 (15:30):
Is absolutely he has actually jeeze and number ten, number
ten before you judge for the uncle Stacey Jones, yep.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
I think close to the greatest KEYP week player of
all time. I was Humaghan Mark Raham, but mean what
a player.
Speaker 6 (15:46):
A different era I would have put Benji there.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Well, hang on, it's not your concept.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
Well actually forgetting Benji's the greatest of all time. But
it's time, guys, you're going to go to the uncle.
Speaker 5 (15:57):
Yeah, I think you've done well, creeps.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
I'm in.
Speaker 6 (15:59):
Yeah, I'll go in. I hope to see my my
friend the Marshall at the only.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
Well I've I've already walked out after it.
Speaker 4 (16:05):
He's sulking that number Number eleven, our pummy friend, Sam Burgess.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Yeah, I love Sammy.
Speaker 4 (16:13):
I think, in my opinion, I didn't see a lot
of the old school players, but I think he's the
greatest uh pummy player I've ever.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
Seene Yeap certainly in the argument and.
Speaker 4 (16:23):
Number twelve our savior Peter Bland. He's no kidding.
Speaker 5 (16:28):
That would have been a good one. Yeah, great, great,
it's a great concert, Coop, well done, cups.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
I enjoyed that concept right out. People. That's not waste
any time. He's a guy that, without a shadow of doubt,
he's going to be in Mortal one day. He has.
Trusia said, he's absolutely won everything, although he hasn't a
pedal Triple and Breakfast. He've got two shows on Fox
he's never won. But have you won a LOGI yeah,
I did one about five with the footage show. Yeah,
(16:55):
but I mean still I was on technically there, Fatties.
That's just another kick in the guts now it might
be his final game this weekend. We don't know. Maybe
it is, maybe it isn't, but there's no doubt in
the world. Look, this is what I think. I think
he's the greatest player in the world when you have
a look at the longevity of the career, and the
longer your career is, the harder it is to hold dominance.
(17:16):
And he has done that. So here he is spill
Welcome to John's Family Podcast. Mate. Now, last week we
had Brandon on. We actually label him our third son.
But given your age, I don't think we'll call you
a third son. Maybe you call you creepyunkle camera that.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
Tag Maney.
Speaker 4 (17:38):
Thanks for having me on the Family Podcast. I'm certainly
I could almost be Cooper's Actually, you.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Could be my dad. Before we get under way, I've
got to apologize about Cooper's brother Jack. He's just returned
from Saturday Night after the South's eliminated, and he he
sounds like he's a little husky, sounds like Deborah Harry.
Speaker 6 (18:03):
Yeah, thanks, mate.
Speaker 5 (18:04):
Now, I don't know if we'll get quality from him.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
Cameron. Look, uncle Cameron, I'm going to give you the
respect and not ask, mate, whether you're going to after
this week's Grand Final if it's going to be your
last game. But unless you want to break it here
two links, yes, one three links. He doesn't know. I've
got to say what what are or what were the
(18:32):
factors which will bring you to a decision, Cameron.
Speaker 4 (18:36):
I think it's more based on, you know, whether whether
I feel that, yeah, I want to do it anymore, mate,
And you've been you've been involved a first grade system
before for a long time, and you know, the two
boys are now.
Speaker 7 (18:56):
Experiencing what it's like to be involved in in an
NRL team.
Speaker 4 (18:59):
And the sacrifices you make in your own personal life
and the commitment it takes to play in the National
Rugby League. So for me, Maddie, it's about weighing that up.
And you know, there's no secret I'm getting on a
little bit now. I'm thirty seven, and that means my
family is growing as well, and my children are starting
(19:19):
a little bit older.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
My eldest daughter.
Speaker 4 (19:20):
She's twelve going on thirteen next year, and they're starting
to do a lot of things in their own life, mates.
So it's more to do with, you know, whether I'm
committed to making those sacrifices anymore. It's not really about
you know, how good I feel I'm playing or whether
(19:42):
I can still.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
Make a difference to this footy side.
Speaker 4 (19:45):
I think it's more about, you know, whether I want
to make that commitment anymore.
Speaker 7 (19:49):
And you know it's and a lot of people have
mentioned about, you.
Speaker 4 (19:53):
Know, whether we get a good result on Sunday, and
that will determine things. But I can confirm and that
on your show today, mate, that won't make a difference
whether we want to lose, right, Yeah, mostly I want
to go out there and we want to win, there's
no doubt about that. But that won't determine whether whether
or not I play on next year.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
And that's one of the things that's been misconstrued a
lot of people saying, oh, you know, smith is weighing
up whether it's capable. Well, there's no doubt you get capable.
The sacrifices you've got to continue to make and as
you said, the families get older, although four or five years,
believe me, you'll try to escape.
Speaker 5 (20:28):
If you try and get back in, I should play
on that.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
Yeah, keep going now, Smithy, this Grand Final mate, it's incredible,
the record yourself and the team had in the last
fifteen years. Are you as excited going into this one
to say two thousand and six?
Speaker 4 (20:49):
Yeah, I am money because yeah, and for different reasons, mate,
I six against the Broncos. That was my first ever
Grand Final in the NRL and experiencing that week and
you know, it was a huge It was a huge
week for myself.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
That was the first time I sported the Delian medal
as well, so it was quite a well.
Speaker 4 (21:09):
Within seven days. But you know, I think for different
reasons this year, it's exciting for me this year. You know,
this is my eighth Grand Final that I've been fortunate
enough to be a part of. And you know, I
think the most for the most part, the excitement comes from,
you know, seeing guys like your young fella here have
been involved in a Grand Final squad and Grand Final week,
(21:33):
and guys of Pappenhausen and Hughes being involved in their
first Grand Final and justin Olham as well, and you know,
just seeing the excitement on their faces and watching them
grows as.
Speaker 7 (21:45):
Regular league players, as footballs, but as men as well.
You know.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
Being the captain and.
Speaker 4 (21:51):
Sort of the oldest oldest Blak in the team, it's
it's just great to see guys, you know, building their
own careers at such a wonderful club and continuing the.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
Success that we've had here for such a long time.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
Before we have a little bit of fun mate. The
dominance we touched on before the Melbourne Storm has been
last fifteen years quite incredible. And what makes it even
more amazing for you camera is over the years the
players you've lost, you know, the Adam Blair, been a
number of guys, but Israel, Flaur, greg inglis Cooper Kronk,
really Slater. At any point, Smithy, did you go into
(22:25):
a season thinking I don't know about this year. I
think we're going to do it tough.
Speaker 4 (22:29):
No, I'm not really, And that's never been the mindset
of our clubmate and particularly with Craig being the coach
and from from the first day he turned up late
in two thousand and two all the way to the
point we're at now is it's never been about thinking
that you or having the mindset that you just making
up the numbers.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
It's always been.
Speaker 4 (22:50):
About being the very best you can be a training
and then giving yourself good opportunity to play.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
Well on the weekend. If you do that, then you're
going to be.
Speaker 4 (22:57):
Competitive and you're going to be pointing end of the
season when when those games matter. So there's never been
a season where I ever thought, well, it's just not
going to be our year, and you know, I'm just
hoping for the best, you know, like you can, you
can hope for the best. But I think what really counts,
(23:18):
what really matters, is going out and making sure you
take any sort of luck out of it. And I
think we've done that every season, you know, I've been
involved in the club.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
There's probably been a couple of years where where, you know.
Speaker 4 (23:33):
Particularly like twenty eighteen where we lost Trooper Crunk and
we had a lot of changes that year and a
lot of young, young, inexperienced players in our team, and
we made the Grand Final.
Speaker 7 (23:45):
And I probably thought that year, although.
Speaker 4 (23:48):
We didn't win the Grand Final, the Rusters were far
too good on in that match. I was actually quite
satisfied with the way we played in the result that year,
you know, finished second to one of the best sides
we've seen in the modern game. I thought that was
a great result for our club. But yeah, there's never
been a year mate, where I've I've entered the competition
(24:12):
and thought, well, you know, it's just it's not going
to be a year and let's just hope for the best.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
Been a strange year Smith, of course, all the COVID
things pauses changes in the rules. You like, have been
living in each other's pockets all the year up on
Sunny Coast there? What have you learned about someone like
Cameron Munster. So, I mean, look, I heard I heard that.
I heard Craig gave him a month off so we
could finish his hs C. But he reckons year ten
(24:41):
with the best ten years of his life.
Speaker 4 (24:45):
Yeah, well, like we've we've some of our turn rounds, guys,
we've you know, we get we had a couple of
days off a week on the long long turn rounds,
and you know, we've we've actually a few of the
partners of teachers, aren't they or like kindie teachers or
whatever or grade three teachers.
Speaker 7 (25:03):
Care Munster's actually been in those classes.
Speaker 6 (25:06):
All the children.
Speaker 5 (25:10):
He'd disrupted jumped.
Speaker 4 (25:14):
Yeah, he jumped in. He jumped in with Jerome Mus's partner, Molly.
So she's she's a teacher, she's a qualified teacher, and
I think she's.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
Like secondary school tea trade. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (25:25):
So anyway, yeah, but she's been looking after all of
the kids here are still primary school students. Anyway, Munster
jumped in with my eldness to Jaja and Jasper, and
the following day, the following day he got knocked down
to the kindergarten because he couldn't keep.
Speaker 3 (25:39):
Up with minds him.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
So, I'll tell you what, Jerome, want to be careful.
I wouldn't let muster anywhere near my wife. Although all
though Smithie one one year's off, Cooper brought him back
to our place, you and your master to show massive Blue.
Speaker 5 (25:57):
We did. We had words, really, yes we did.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
What was that about?
Speaker 5 (26:02):
I don't remember really. I think he may have said
something about my singing took great events.
Speaker 3 (26:08):
Now I'm pretty true.
Speaker 7 (26:09):
I'm pretty sure he told you to go.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
He told you to go to bed.
Speaker 5 (26:12):
Did Yeah. I was about to knock him out. It
was only his friends.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
Don't worry. He was going to follow in creepy Now.
This podcast, oh yeah yeah, this podcast with is very
much about music film wondering why the boys spent half
an hour on the toilet in the shower, mate, Let's
(26:41):
a couple of questions so that people if you are
going to say Hurrah, get a little of sense. What Smithy,
what are you more likely to go to a Jimmy
Barnes concert or Coldplay concert?
Speaker 7 (26:53):
Cold Play, I've actually I've actually been to two.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
I went to.
Speaker 7 (27:01):
Went to a when they come out to Australia.
Speaker 4 (27:03):
They might have been a couple of couple of summers
ago at down at.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
Marble Stadium in packed house. And then on the he.
Speaker 4 (27:13):
Was on the two and sixteen for Nations Till We're
in London and Coop Scooper Krong. Actually he got a
couple of tickets to like this really small performance, a
little intimate performance here in the middle of town. There's
(27:33):
like only two thousand people there.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
So that was cold Play.
Speaker 5 (27:36):
They put on a good concept. You've been to cold
Player as well, Coop, haven't you?
Speaker 2 (27:40):
And I have?
Speaker 3 (27:41):
Yeah, we went with the Alexander's.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (27:44):
Yeah, you're not big on the map, but they do
put on a very good show.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
Who do you go?
Speaker 1 (27:51):
I gave Jimmy Barnes. I just think Chris Martin is
like a wet piece of lettuce. He's like that. He's
like that pair of like a pair of underpants you
just throw on the corner of the room after you've
been on a three day bender.
Speaker 5 (28:05):
Yeah, maybe you should throw these.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
I'll just burn them. Who would have thought? Cooper Kronk
with a cold fan. It's a right, smith you will
let it that out. What are you most likely to watch?
A romantic comedy or a horror film?
Speaker 4 (28:28):
Romantic comedy, Mate, I can't stand horror films. I don't
know why people watch them.
Speaker 7 (28:31):
Why do you put yourself.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
We're talking about the two thousand and eight year.
Speaker 4 (28:34):
Final Romantic comedy mate down right?
Speaker 1 (28:41):
Who you're most likely to hang out with? Wayne Bennett
or Wayne Rooney?
Speaker 4 (28:50):
Well, I'm just going to say, like, geographically, Wayne Bennett.
Who is Wayne going to be hard to get ahold of?
Speaker 3 (28:57):
Wayne?
Speaker 1 (28:57):
Yeah? Wayne Rooney is a United legend. So that's what
I was going to say. One a one a balding
desperate and the other one's wayn't Rooney.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
It's not very nice.
Speaker 6 (29:09):
I want to I like it to text later it's okay.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
In an altimate universe, an ultimate universe, alternate universe, Smithy,
who would you like most likely play for the Broncos?
Are the Titans?
Speaker 3 (29:29):
What's that? What's that? Alternate universe? One? Yes, it is
probably there.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
We go go to the Titans, and you wouldn't go
to the Broncos.
Speaker 5 (29:44):
I'm a supporter.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
Yeah, ah, poor old Broncos. They've become you know.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
The Titans, true, I do.
Speaker 5 (29:52):
I like them a lot.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
Trish has got low standards.
Speaker 3 (29:55):
What about you storm there you go?
Speaker 5 (30:00):
You know, for my personal selfish reasons, I'd like Smithy
to state the story for Cooper's benefits.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
If we go to the Knights, all the West Tigers
if you like coming ninth? Oh, right to finish with
Smithy to finish with a little i Q test. If
you stand on the scales and your wait eighty five kolos,
how much do your waif if you lift one league?
Speaker 3 (30:26):
Are think it would be the same? Mate? Eighty five?
Speaker 1 (30:28):
Damn it? That was going to be our headline.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
Ah.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
Actually I got the wrong camera. I was going to
ask months to that. Mate. Listen, Smithy, we're taking up
too much of your time. I'm looking forward to the
book coming out that you've written with Andrew Webster.
Speaker 5 (30:46):
What's it called?
Speaker 1 (30:47):
It's called what's it called? Jesus?
Speaker 3 (30:51):
What's it? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (30:53):
What is your I think that was called advance here? Sure, Cam,
I've got to warn you. Red Ragan carves you up
on Sunday.
Speaker 7 (31:08):
Yep, after the season, sinish, can you get yeah? Can
I chase up those details off your absolutely will.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
I'll lend you my plugs. Smithy, listen, good good luck
for Sunday. In my opinion, you could play for another
two seasons, but you've outlined the reasons why your second
guests and your says you still absolutely understand that, and
the other thing on top of that, you've just got
nothing left to prove. So have a good one, pal,
enjoy it.
Speaker 7 (31:37):
Awesome, Thank you guys, appreciate it.
Speaker 5 (31:39):
Good luck and welcome to the family.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
Well there he goes, Cameron Smith just saunt us off
into the background.
Speaker 5 (31:44):
Can I ask you, Matt for a question, So, baby,
who was the oldest and what age was it oldest
player ever in the NREL because thirty seven have to
be up there, right.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
I think Cliffy Lions I think played about thirty five,
maybe thirty six. I think Smithy's got it.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
Yeah, that's just another award.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
Is certainly he is the oldest to play NRL in
the modern era. Yeah, and as you said before, we're
just talking to me before he's got another couple of
years in him, but he makes a very good point.
It's not about is he able to do it? It's
about what you're sacrificing along the way. And there you go.
Speaker 3 (32:24):
Mate.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
One of thanks Smith is that he was very candid,
very very honest, and Jesus worried about that. Here though,
it's just disappearing. I hate to see his pillow every morning.
This one listener question, who's the one person in the
world that that if you met, they would leave you speechless? Trisu?
Speaker 5 (32:45):
Do you know what I really struggled with this?
Speaker 1 (32:48):
That's funny because you came up with a concept.
Speaker 5 (32:50):
Yeah, I know, but do you remember who I said
i'd like to meet?
Speaker 6 (32:54):
No?
Speaker 1 (32:54):
Do you know that's a sign to get old?
Speaker 5 (32:57):
Yeah? I know, but you know I think no matter
who I meant, I'd usually find something to say, even
if it was really ridiculous and random. But I'm thinking
at the moment, who would like to meet and I
would have no words for them is Gladys Bary Jaculine
and I'd just give it a hug. Sister hood.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
It's in this COVID period, maybe just better off touching gloves.
What about you, Jacka, are you Okay, are you're like there? Sorry,
I'm okay.
Speaker 5 (33:23):
So I'm just stearing's just counting down the second till
you can.
Speaker 6 (33:28):
I've gone with Mick Jagger from the rolling standards between
him and Peter Blandy's.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
It was a hard split. That's a tough split, you know.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
I think I'd rather meet Peter Baland and Mick Jagger.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
Okay about you, Cooper John's.
Speaker 3 (33:40):
I had to. I had Barry Gibb because I do
so much impressions of him that I wouldn't know.
Speaker 7 (33:45):
I didn't know whether i'd actually do the impression for
him or.
Speaker 2 (33:48):
Whether he'd heard them previously and been offended.
Speaker 3 (33:51):
Yeah, I don't think I had.
Speaker 4 (33:53):
It's a pretty safe bet. I'm pretty sure he hadn't
heard my impression.
Speaker 3 (33:58):
And uh, Michael Jordan.
Speaker 6 (34:03):
Oh yeah, maybe a couple of strange dudes to having
a room together.
Speaker 3 (34:11):
Sex.
Speaker 1 (34:13):
What was that I could write a song about you? Jordan?
Oh god, oh god. I've gone Walt Disney because Walt's
dead and that would amaze me. Well, he's not.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
Frozen, isn't it.
Speaker 5 (34:26):
We discussed that now to day.
Speaker 1 (34:27):
If I met Walt Disney, it wouldn't mean that he's
been defrosted. That would surprise. Do you know that Walt
Disney had wooden teeth?
Speaker 6 (34:36):
Really?
Speaker 1 (34:37):
Yep?
Speaker 2 (34:37):
Where did you hear this?
Speaker 1 (34:38):
Seriously, I'm telling you read it.
Speaker 3 (34:40):
He was.
Speaker 1 (34:41):
He had wooden teeth. So even though he made great
animation like Steambak, Mickey and whatnot, mate, would you give
would you take all that to have wooden teeth?
Speaker 2 (34:49):
No?
Speaker 5 (34:50):
Why did he have wooden teeth? Like because false teeth
have been around for a long time.
Speaker 1 (34:53):
Yeah, well, well he might have gotten dragged out and
put false teeth in there, but at one point he
had wooden teeth.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
I just can't understand that.
Speaker 5 (35:02):
What about when you're drinking?
Speaker 2 (35:04):
I don't know, I don't have Maybe I'm going to
do a little research.
Speaker 1 (35:08):
We frost the man and asking himself. It's about rush
More time and okay, what five music videos would you
etch into Mount Rushmore? Jacko, lead us off because we're
going to get good to bed soon.
Speaker 6 (35:21):
I've gone with number one Michael Jackson's Thriller, great music video,
possibly one of the greatest of all time.
Speaker 1 (35:26):
Some would say.

What's that one where he plays the rock star? It
was it was as yeah, yeah, so I've heard that
he channeled that guy from the darkness in his character
and you can sort of see it. Okay, I've gone
(39:26):
Walk this Way, Run DMC, Aerosmith. Here's a great interview
about the other day. You know that at first both
both bands were really reluctant to do it. But what
a gave Aerosmith A gave Aero Smith sort of international acclaim.
They are a big American band, but not huge as
far as international sales and things like that, and it
(39:47):
gave run DMC sort of moving into the mainstream, although
people argue after it that Run DMC it sort of
ruined a bit of their credibility in the hip hop community.
So the next one I've Done All I Want is
You by You two Acquiants from Oasis, and it's the
second release of Acquians. When they released for Stop the Clocks,

sessions from above, and there's a crow currently at Sunshine
Coast Stadium that every time the drones starts up, the
crow attacks the drone.

And it is an all black.
Speaker 1 (41:29):
Did you say it attacks Jerome Hughes. Jerome attacks Jerome.

doing me a favor.

it's very secure, from the a b o t r F,
the Australian Bureau of Totally Real Facts. Number four, I've gone.

like environmental factor is growing.
Speaker 1 (43:02):
Really so you're saying that nutrition, I'm short nutrition.
Speaker 5 (43:05):
The exercise you do.
Speaker 1 (43:06):
Potentially, I was going to say something about my wife,
my mum there, but I don't know if you'd appreciate
it's got something to do with a breast milk. So
I'm going I'm going to go away from it now.
I just want to let people know I've got a
new radio show on se n which is the old
two ch we do our first.
Speaker 5 (43:25):
Shows eleven seventy.
Speaker 1 (43:26):
You've got it. It's going to be every Friday. I'm
going to do on one day, week nine to twelve,
every Friday. We don't have a rolling cast, so the
rotating guest is going to be Andrew John's, Andrew Webster,
Greg Alexander, and Michael Checker of course for Wallaby coach
and James Hooper journal at Fox League. First show is
on this Friday, and it's Andrew John's, and Andrew Webster
(43:48):
and myself. So I'll look after that. Now it's time
for This is going to make people angry. But Trish,
do you want to lead off?
Speaker 5 (43:56):
Sure? This doesn't make people angry.
Speaker 2 (43:59):
But I'm won't be watching State of Origin? Is that
because I don't usually?
Speaker 5 (44:05):
In fact, I don't even know if I'm going to
watch the Grand Final. To be honest, it's on at night,
Sunday night. It's not like it's a long weekend. I'll
probably get a bed, you know.
Speaker 3 (44:13):
You are.
Speaker 1 (44:13):
You're in Australian well jacka.
Speaker 6 (44:17):
Uh, I actually missed this one.
Speaker 1 (44:21):
Sorry, it doesn't matter. That makes me angry? What about you, Coops?
Speaker 3 (44:25):
This is going to make people angry.
Speaker 4 (44:27):
But I don't like little little cherry tomatoes in my
salad the best.
Speaker 6 (44:34):
I agree, I definitely agree.
Speaker 5 (44:36):
You don't like tomato in general. That do you like
tomato in general, Cooper? Or you just don't like the
cherry tomatoes.
Speaker 4 (44:41):
I like tomatoes or my burgers. I don't want them
in my salard.
Speaker 2 (44:44):
You don't want them in your salad.
Speaker 1 (44:45):
This is going to make people angry. But I think
everyone should have the option to change their name immediately.
So you should have the option that you don't go
through all the red tape and everything, and you should
just be able to straight away just change your name.
I use it an example. A Welsh guy who's a
famous singer was born Arnold Dorsey, which is a fairly
boring name. Well, he changed it to Engelbert.
Speaker 5 (45:09):
Legally though, ye, well just very.
Speaker 1 (45:13):
I don't know. I don't know, but it's cooler, which
he did. Please release me, pleasese release me, let me go.
I don't love you anymore.
Speaker 2 (45:23):
That was seeing that to me on the weekend, there'd
be a lot.
Speaker 6 (45:26):
Of complications there copper identity theft.
Speaker 2 (45:29):
And that's right.
Speaker 1 (45:30):
There's some people I studied strange names. Here's some people
who and this is another reason why should people should
be able to change it. This is these people were
born with this name, mister Perv, Dick Long, Paul two Cox,
Willie Stroker Wade for this, McDonald berger is a German guy,
(45:53):
McDonald berger, Dick ass Man, Yoshi take a shitter, and
fat Hoe.
Speaker 5 (46:03):
So yeah, but you're bringing them in from other languages.
Speaker 1 (46:06):
So I want to change my name from this point on.
Speaker 5 (46:08):
What would you like to be addressed?
Speaker 1 (46:09):
I'm going to be called Edson thunder Snap. That's good Edson,
which was Palai's realm. That is the coolest.
Speaker 6 (46:17):
That is the coolest name of Elson Snap.
Speaker 1 (46:19):
So that's from this point for you, you will refer
to me as Edson Thundersnap.
Speaker 2 (46:25):
I don't have to be missus Thundersnap, do I?
Speaker 1 (46:27):
Yes? You do know?
Speaker 5 (46:28):
Don't I get a choice too?

Speaker 5 (48:45):
It is really good, interesting the insights into a serial
killer and how manipulative of people and situations they can be.
They're kind of did you.
Speaker 3 (48:55):
Guys see that on Did you guys see that on

Speaker 1 (49:02):
Yeah? Yeah, he was.
Speaker 4 (49:05):
I reckon, I reckon, he copied me. I reckon, He's
copyed me. But it is outstanding. Zac Efron does a
really good seri killer.
Speaker 1 (49:11):
He frighteningly said Bundy. I mean, if he could have
the judge when he sentenced him said, if only you
could have channeled your mind in the positive, what you
could have been because like he just was his own
defense lawyer. It's quite incredible.
Speaker 5 (49:25):
He has been a little student.
Speaker 2 (49:26):
That's why he was able to do that.
Speaker 1 (49:28):
Best and worst surikiller films.
Speaker 5 (49:30):
Trish okay, because I actually don't think I've watched many
about from that one the other day, so my best
is going to be extremely wicked, shockingly evil and vile,
the Ted Bundy one and the worst. I haven't seen this,
but I just didn't look.
Speaker 2 (49:44):
I just didn't like.
Speaker 5 (49:48):
The way Charlie's throne looked in Monster. She was creepy looking.
And there's something particularly evil about a female serial killer
too as a woman.
Speaker 1 (49:57):
I love Trisha. Robin Newcastle once and end up a Newcastle.
Peoples is this old radio broadcaster and he calls the
you know, all the various races. Actually he actually used
to commentate on the rugby league up there, Phil called
Gary Harley and Gaz. If he didn't know about it,
he used to act like he knew about it. So
people remember once in view a person with ten Vin
(50:18):
Balin and they'd say to you, yeah, that's right. And
I was listening to one day and he goes, we'll
give us a call one three hundred think and you

Speaker 3 (51:15):
I thought that's the best I've seen. But I want
to just talk to about something.
Speaker 4 (51:19):
The worst one I've done is it's based on a
true story, but what it's based on.
Speaker 3 (51:25):
It's based off a man's.
Speaker 4 (51:26):
Toy who turned evil and try to destroy them.
Speaker 3 (51:30):
It's called child's play.
Speaker 5 (51:32):

film called seven Brad Kevin Spacey. It is terrifying and
special mention to Friday the thirdth part two. And my
worst is I'm with Cooper Chuckie too because it's look,
it just can't help but love Chucky. He's really cute

The Burden
The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
