This week’s family ep fires up straight out of the gates — from “Who stinks?” to Cooper’s fitness regime that still hasn’t kicked in. We get tales of Trish’s infamous Thai green curry (and the ring of fire aftermath), Matthew’s emotional trip to the Chinese grocers, and Matty’s obsession with watches. Jack cops it, Chambers gets a run, and somehow we end up with Shaun the Sheep.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
I'm being dead serious and I'm taking saying that article
is going to kill you, bro.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Mate what it is?

Speaker 3 (00:05):
So the written the written word takes you take care
of the extra extra care how you write the written word.
The written word stays. A spoken word is like an arrow.
Once a shot, it's gone.

Speaker 2 (00:18):
And just letting people know too, like the right at
the moment.

Speaker 4 (00:22):
Yeah, we're on. Matthew does everything by hand, which I respect,
I can understand fully everything by hand. You don't need
to use computers for everything.

Speaker 2 (00:32):
And I'm part of the process. As part of the process.
It works.

Speaker 4 (00:34):
And you barely look at your notes during your shows
because of that, so credit to you as a sports presenter.

Speaker 1 (00:40):
So you can't hear anything.

Speaker 3 (00:43):
Do you know you're writing when you write? The style
of which you write is your brain waves. They say
that in period of time, if you lost both your
hands in a period of time, if you learn to write,
people do they learn to write with the pen between
their toes, and that you're writing will be eventually exactly
the same is your handwriting. Who's that The people said,

(01:04):
there that's true, there is it is true.

Speaker 5 (01:06):
I've seen it being done my people with that arms.

Speaker 2 (01:09):
Two things just how you learn awesome.

Speaker 1 (01:11):
Two things right off the top right that I'm going
to just lay the law down for a second. One
thing is last two weeks, there's been lots of fighting.
So I've taken procedures in this podcast to try to
make it more family friendly. So no one's in here fighting,
says who and says me? And the second thing is
who's got bo.

Speaker 5 (01:31):
It's not me because I just sprayed deodorant.

Speaker 3 (01:34):
It's not me.

Speaker 1 (01:34):
Why wouldn't it be you?

Speaker 5 (01:36):
You just came out of the gym and I don't
believe you had a shower.

Speaker 1 (01:39):
Did you have a shower?

Speaker 2 (01:40):
No, it's me, so did you?

Speaker 1 (01:42):
So you're saying it wouldn't be you, but you just
did a gym session.

Speaker 3 (01:44):
I can't smell myself that way. It is it me?

Speaker 2 (01:47):
You got I don't know.

Speaker 5 (01:48):
I can't smell.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
That's your pet hate that.

Speaker 3 (01:50):
No, it's not me. I tell you why. I'll put
dean on just before. That's not me.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
It's not me, it's not me, that's me.

Speaker 5 (02:00):
You are a stinky boy? Can I give people a
little tip and.

Speaker 3 (02:04):
A bad boy that knows doesn't pick up that smell?

Speaker 5 (02:10):
Yeah, that little tip. Now I'm near that shirt. Once
you're finished, I get Caniston, which is quite expensive, and
you put that in the wash usually but.

Speaker 1 (02:21):
What obviously because we were quite wealthy, but sorry, you.

Speaker 5 (02:24):
Don't want to waste some money. You put it in
a spray bottle and then I spray, and I must
say it's only your shirts. I need to do it too, Cooper,
You've got stinky armpits and you spray it directly on
the armpits before the wash gets rid of it.

Speaker 3 (02:38):
The bacteria skateboard kit.

Speaker 1 (02:40):
It's not that when you I operate at such a
high function that I sweat.

Speaker 3 (02:46):
It's funny sitting next to Bruno. You two just chatting
away during the shower.

Speaker 1 (02:50):
Yeah, well, like that's a very in joke for people
who don't know who Bruno is.

Speaker 3 (02:55):
Well, I think a lot of people who listen to
Colin jack Yard would know exactly who Bruno is.

Speaker 1 (02:58):
But I don't necessarily think everyone listens to this podcast
also listens to me on radio.

Speaker 3 (03:02):
Okay, well, people, what he is? He's the executive Well no,
he's Kyle's manager and right hand man, Bruno Cuban Bruno.

Speaker 5 (03:09):
Just sit and get the pee of the show.

Speaker 3 (03:10):
Outside outside the glass. Just basically sitting there.

Speaker 1 (03:13):
And to be fair, I haven't seen Bruno or Kyle
in the flesh in a long time because they barely
come in studio anyone. Let's do it from home, So
I'll do that. They do it from Kyle's home studio.
They got it pretty good. Yeah, yeah, so I haven't
seen him in a long time.

Speaker 3 (03:24):
Is going to be till you get the home studio.

Speaker 1 (03:27):
I don't know when I start to have it, when
I get a bit more power and I can start
throw my weight around a little bit and just go well,
if you don't give me a home studio, they'll leave
and they'll probably go, well, there's the door.

Speaker 2 (03:37):
All fifty six killers of yourself.

Speaker 3 (03:38):
I was going to say, well, you want to be
careful because if you don't start training that they're throwing
that weight around could kill.

Speaker 2 (03:43):
Somebody I have started.

Speaker 1 (03:45):
Yeah, I saw you stick up for me.

Speaker 5 (03:47):
Yeah, he took himself off into the gym the other day,
dressed himself and he's muscle too.

Speaker 2 (03:51):
What'd you doing there, kid?

Speaker 1 (03:53):
Okay, well that's not sticking up for me?

Speaker 5 (03:54):
Really?

Speaker 2 (03:54):
What did you do in there?

Speaker 5 (03:55):
Actually? I saw you sort of stretch and roll out.
I haven't seen much more.

Speaker 1 (03:59):
That's what it's called a Walmart.

Speaker 5 (04:01):
Yeah, did you just warm up and then leave?

Speaker 1 (04:03):
Well, I've been with your active were there?

Speaker 4 (04:08):
Go on?

Speaker 1 (04:08):
Keep having a dig, I said off the top, I said,
no fighting.

Speaker 2 (04:13):
The only one who's at the moment is you were.

Speaker 1 (04:16):
You're provoking me like Hudson Young did Reese Walsh?

Speaker 3 (04:19):
Listen, you're Lulu Lemon pants on there?

Speaker 2 (04:21):
They're not Lulu Lemmon.

Speaker 1 (04:22):
There they are the front run.

Speaker 3 (04:23):
No, mate, I saw you were spotted the other day
in it Lulu Lemon I have.

Speaker 1 (04:28):
I don't own anything Jack, Jack, and you do too.

Speaker 2 (04:33):
Yeah, and also I don't even know he would even know.

Speaker 1 (04:36):
Just quietly, don't make Lula Lemon. They've actually got some
good only the last few years they've gone into the
men's rains and they've actually got really good stuff. This
isn't even an advertisement. I'm just plugging it. Sure, So
for me some some ship.

Speaker 3 (04:50):
If you ever seeing in Lulu Lemon gear, just sneak
out behind me and trust what you.

Speaker 4 (04:56):
Actually have some gear already you have You went and
bought the show self?

Speaker 5 (05:00):
Mate?

Speaker 3 (05:01):
Have you never been in the studio. I've never been in.

Speaker 5 (05:03):
Well, you bought them from somewhere and I think.

Speaker 3 (05:06):
They're the boys shorts and I've found myself wearing.

Speaker 1 (05:08):
You've taken Jackson one, the only one with that I've stolen,
So that's different, sort of respectable.

Speaker 2 (05:15):
But oh, what did I have for you?

Speaker 1 (05:17):
Just saying I just had something so juicy and then.

Speaker 3 (05:19):
I've forgot little lemon jack.

Speaker 1 (05:22):
It was so it was, and the listeners.

Speaker 2 (05:24):
Are going to know what.

Speaker 5 (05:25):
To be fair, It's a wonder I don't have bo
because I've been hot pressure hosing gardening over the last
four days. I'm like a machine. I'm in the midst
of scrubbing the pots up on the brand.

Speaker 1 (05:35):
No, sorry, I wanted to talk about my fitness jersey
journey of the last couple of weeks. I wasn't having
nothing to do with that because I've been playing touch footy,
I've been playing os tag and I've been gimming quite regularly.
I've been going to the gym.

Speaker 2 (05:46):
With the boys.

Speaker 1 (05:46):
Sound eating, Well, yeah.

Speaker 5 (05:50):
I know that's what I mean. You went and even
bought your own little food stash.

Speaker 1 (05:53):
Yeah, I have a tuna dish to the Dale fernou
Can snack hack. It's brown rice mic Awave ninety second
brown rice. Chuck it in there, get it out. Bulls
avocado with goats cheese, that your whisk in a bowl,
put the brown rice in, you put tuna in. You
fry an egg with chili oil. You put that in there,
and then you put corn kernels in and that.

Speaker 5 (06:13):
Just sound bad.

Speaker 2 (06:13):
Actually, when will that start taking effect?

Speaker 1 (06:16):
I've been very hurtful.

Speaker 3 (06:20):
I love that. You know he's turning into Uncle Joey.
You know Joey gets he sometimes, Hey, you going uncle Joey, goes, mate.
I've just been so busy. I've been surfing and playing golf.
I go like Coop going, oh, just playing touch football.

Speaker 5 (06:33):
I'm going to stick out for him. Cooper gets in,
he does his work, and he doesn't say boo you too.
On the other hand, yes, mate, don't we hear about
it before, during.

Speaker 2 (06:46):
And after, because we don't do it once every six months, tru.

Speaker 1 (06:49):
That's probably one talking about workers in radio and life.
I don't winge about the work. I just get in
and do it.

Speaker 5 (06:56):
He's like, mate, you too.

Speaker 2 (06:58):
So he doesn't say okay. So you're telling me you
can't tell.

Speaker 4 (07:03):
When he's come back from work, Cooper John's I'm sorry,
mister Moody himself.

Speaker 5 (07:08):
Oh, if you're tied to tied, and that's not from
physical work, that's just from the hours that he has
to keep. I heard the shower running the other day
and I actually really felt for him.

Speaker 3 (07:17):
So this is the thing for I've never got that
sympathy for the eight years I did Breakfast.

Speaker 5 (07:20):
Right now, I didn't even hear you.

Speaker 4 (07:22):
She's going to realize with Trish, right, and it's not
a bad thing.

Speaker 6 (07:27):
But it's week on, week off, all right with Trish.
This week, I don't know, you're actually neutral this week. Actually,
I don't see you having beef with anyone. But last
week it was maybe me, week before that might have
been Dad, and the week before.

Speaker 4 (07:41):
That was Cooper. She goes, but she's having beef with
one of us per week. I think Cooper's coming up
next week. So we'll see in the podcast next Friday.
You'll be able to listen, and I'll tell you then.
I don't think she's gonna have the exact same opinion
right now.

Speaker 1 (07:52):
It is nice that she's got my I do admit
that she's cut throat the amount of times that like
and you will attest to this over the twenty eight
years that Jack's been around, in the twenty six years
that I've been around, Trish is so cut throat where
she'll be like, we do one thing that kind of
half pieces are off and she'll go, you know what,

(08:13):
I will never cook for you again. I will never
do this for you again. And two days later, what
happens cooking well, less than two days, a couple of
hours later, I'm just cooking for the boys.

Speaker 2 (08:24):
Don't do it because I.

Speaker 5 (08:25):
Love to take care of you. You know what, Lucky,
I was liking you last Thursday night when I went
to that Sydney of CEA Foundation dinner because they had
Tim Zoo a boxing round with Tim Zoo, and I
thought about getting.

Speaker 1 (08:40):
It for you, like buying a round.

Speaker 3 (08:43):
Yeah, so sorry, so lucky you like me?

Speaker 5 (08:46):
Yeah, because if I didn't like you, I would have
tried to get it for you.

Speaker 3 (08:50):
I'll tell you what. Tim would not want to step
into the room with me. He would cop the thoroughbeating oh.

Speaker 1 (08:57):
Boo and no, no, no, I'll stick up for and
I'll stick up for Daddy on this one, because Dad,
you can really scrap my word, particularly at the moment
you're in the show. I would say you're in the shape.

Speaker 3 (09:08):
Of your life, mate, I just you know what I do.
I just Terence Crawford style. Just cut off the ring,
cut off the ring, get him in the corner and away.
I'd go, just wail away and I reckon. Nakita would
just throw the towel in.

Speaker 4 (09:20):
So no mass, no mass, no no no speaking of
your ring cobbos. Anyone else's ring hurting today after Tricia's
tygreen curry.

Speaker 3 (09:26):
Mate, honestly, for Australia, very sensitive see a.

Speaker 2 (09:32):
Out this morning. I was going, why am I sorry?
I don't know what happened, dude.

Speaker 1 (09:38):
Yeah, let's we'll get back on the ring hole in
one sec. But you have been relentlessly swearing. I don't
know whether it's like you're trying to become like I'm
not proud. I think I'm just I'm just I don't know,
the bad boy of the house.

Speaker 3 (09:51):
Yeah, the roblow of the probably the Eli.

Speaker 2 (10:00):
Charlie, surely the Charlie she I'll be watching that.

Speaker 3 (10:03):
That's good.

Speaker 5 (10:05):
I can't even watch it. I think it's going to
be very sad.

Speaker 1 (10:07):
But yeah, Trisha, that Ti green curry that you cooked
last night was delicious, even to tie people that would
have been the hottest curry they've ever had.

Speaker 5 (10:15):
Well, I can't control that. I even put two lots
of coconut milk into the paste, like the paste is
pre made.

Speaker 4 (10:21):
Whatever the paste was, like, that's the curry that chang
MYI resisted.

Speaker 5 (10:27):
But green curry traditionally hot.

Speaker 2 (10:29):
That's in Thailand, goober, I don't get the reference.

Speaker 3 (10:32):
Chang is it's a pleasure people from chang MYI would say,
I can't. I'm resisting not doing that. It's too hot.

Speaker 1 (10:40):
But yeah, it was very much like we were like
five dogs, like panting that we were all like everyone
was trying to talk, but everyone was their tongues were
outside of their mouth trying to get some fresh air.

Speaker 4 (10:52):
Even Jem got into it first before all of us,
and you could even see as you were sort of
sitting there, she was like red in the face and
we're like, what's going on here?

Speaker 2 (10:59):
Read the face there was?

Speaker 1 (11:02):
My face went that red. My nose started just weeping.
Blud usually goes there a fair bit for you. And
then when I my nose very hurtful as well. Another
body part that's huge on me. When I woke up
this morning and I did my morning like routine to
get to work obviously, like five am because I'm up early,
got breakfast radio. I was sitting on the toilet and

(11:22):
literally I was like gritting my teeth. I was like
biting it down on a mouth guard.

Speaker 5 (11:27):
I was like, why, Like it couldn't come out.

Speaker 3 (11:30):
It just hurt.

Speaker 4 (11:31):
Yeah, it hurts, sting, burnt, it's stung. It was that
happened like hydrochloric acid coming out of my ass.

Speaker 5 (11:38):
Really, I don't do that.

Speaker 3 (11:41):
I always write what I do. I weave to go
with this people, this entertainment. I weigh myself and then
I take a dump, and then I jump back in
and I weigh myself again, just to see how and
what's the heavy tur was heaviest one I've ever done.
I did a turd once. It was one cooler?

Speaker 5 (11:58):
Yeah, I really so as a warning, I'd like to
see that this warning.

Speaker 3 (12:02):
I kicked off with a point three, then after that
went up, I did a point seven and then finished
with a little one point two.

Speaker 2 (12:09):
What are you weigh them?

Speaker 3 (12:11):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (12:12):
He weighed himself prior after.

Speaker 3 (12:15):
Big the dumpies. So my record is one kiloid.

Speaker 1 (12:18):
Yeah, because I and I was finding this before when
I when they were allowing me well, when they set
me a goal at the storm to get to eighty
two kilos so then I could play in the Queensland
Cup when I was in under twenties. That was like,
if you get there, you can do this. I would
literally do the same to see in the morning how
much I would lose after a piss. One day, I

(12:38):
lost one point one kilos because I weighed myself before
I urinated. I drank that much water when on the
scales i'd hit eighty two, so I was allowed to
play it when urinated went down to eighty point nine,
and I was like, I am just completely lying my
way through my career.

Speaker 4 (12:52):
Dane Gaya's story like that when they when Wayne left
and who took over.

Speaker 3 (12:56):
Who was the coach a Hook Dimitri No, no, I'm sorry.
At Brisbane and early days, Ivanjack Ivan hen Jack took it.
And then they were trying to do is turn Gags
into like a Wendell's Sailor type winger, like a big
dog like they had back then, and Gags reckons. They
just like every morning they'd like weigh him and like
trying to make him just heavy as possible.

Speaker 4 (13:14):
And he was doing that because it was that unhealthy
for him and by the end, by the end he
had enough and then left. And when he went and
met with Wayne, Wayne said, don't worry, I'll never weigh out.
Just make sure you play good.

Speaker 3 (13:25):
The coaches get obsessed with what I've seen guys I
play with it. They've demanded they put five kilos. They're
not the same player. Look at Foxy when he was
at the Dogs out last year, kept doing his hamstring.
He was too heavy.

Speaker 5 (13:36):
Why did they wanted him.

Speaker 3 (13:38):
Yeah, they wanted him just to put a bit of
that bit of extra muscle on and just threw his
body out. And when he's gone back under Rollsy, they're
just stripped him back again.

Speaker 1 (13:45):
Yeah, that's a very old school thing of like let's
get weighed on here, let's muscle. But like now it's
like as long as you can handle the load and
get through it, like it doesn't really matter some players.

Speaker 4 (13:56):
But also like even like before the new rules where
it quickened up and everyone has to be it has
to be a bit smaller even before that, some please
just play better lighter. Yeah, if you can get through
the first ten minutes, everyone's bashing up. Once everyone's fatigued
like no one's at their peak strength after twenty minutes.

Speaker 3 (14:11):
Well, no one, jack, because the bottom line is this.
They get there sometimes and they go, oh, mate, look
at this mate. He's only eight percent body fat, but
he's put three kilos muscle on mate. It doesn't matter
if it's fat or muscle, it's still weight. And it's
like you know, race horse. You put two kilos on
a on the race horse that wins in Melbourne Cup,
two kulos and it probably comes seventh or eighth, right,

(14:32):
So now you and that's it, and that's what you know.
Three quarter ton animal. Look at us and we do
We think nothing about carrying three kilos on the field.
The difference over eighty minutes is monumental.

Speaker 1 (14:44):
Just think about that. I know, don't fat shame us
as played?

Speaker 3 (14:46):
What's the question?

Speaker 1 (14:47):
Intro question here is if you could be any actor
or actress based upon their film catalog, which would you be?

Speaker 2 (14:53):
And why I'm.

Speaker 5 (14:54):
Going with Julia Roberts without a doubt. Well, he's got
a great film catalog, Pretty Woman, Aaron Brockovich and Steel
Magnolia like the classic movies too. I've rewatched those several times.

Speaker 3 (15:09):
Really, yeah, nodding Hill Okay.

Speaker 5 (15:12):
I didn't. Yeah, not in Hill. You know who I
loved in notting Hill The Spike, Spike, the Roommates.

Speaker 2 (15:18):
He's funny. He's like a serious actor now I know.

Speaker 5 (15:20):
I've seen him in quite a few things.

Speaker 2 (15:22):
He's very good.

Speaker 1 (15:22):
He was also Spike was the lizard in The Amazing
Spider Man Too. For those people to watch that, the
one with Andrew Garfield.

Speaker 3 (15:29):
Good stuff, but.

Speaker 1 (15:30):
Not the cat, not the cat that hated Love Lasigner
and hated Mondays. Different Garfield.

Speaker 3 (15:36):
I'll tell you what, you look a little bit like
Julie Roberts.

Speaker 2 (15:39):
True.

Speaker 4 (15:41):
Have you seen at the end of our you know what?
I'll do a reference for another segment in film Vain
and viotl at it. But I'll come back to that,
so keep you.

Speaker 1 (15:47):
Going, Okay. My one is Leonardo DiCaprio. I think his
catalog is probably the best of anyone. And I love
these movies. Shutter Island, Wolf of Wall Street, Inception, Catch
Me if you can, Titanic. Not a massive fan of
but it's classic. Are the Great Gatsby, Django, Blood Diamond,
Once upon a Time in Hollywood.

Speaker 3 (16:04):
He has a pretty amazing But there's a movie coming
out it might be coming out this Thursday that they
say it could be his greatest role. It was who
called Thomas Anders. I can't remember, and they've done no
publicity for it. I wanted just to impact. No wonder
that's what you might be coming out Thursday.

Speaker 5 (16:20):
Wow, okay, good, I need a good movie.

Speaker 3 (16:22):
Well thursdays in yesterday recording this who is yours? I've
gone and he passed today. Robert Redford, the late Robert.

Speaker 4 (16:32):
Comm I thought that'd be a great intro into Robert Redford.
I did the exact same. I did the same.

Speaker 3 (16:38):
You know, there's some guys you just look at and
you know they'd be lovely and lovely guys. And he's
one of them. Mate, grew old gracefully. No let no
work do we face or anything. And Mate, some of
these roles are just some of the greatest. Like The
Natural is close to the greatest sports movie I've ever seen.
The Last Castle is I think the most underrated movie

(17:01):
that I've ever seen. I think it's a better movie
than Short Shamp, Redemption in the Sun, Dance Kid, Indecent Proposal.
He's just in so many crackers.

Speaker 2 (17:09):
Yeah, I will obviously passed away earlier in the Week.

Speaker 4 (17:12):
But I love the I love the movie All the
President's Men, Oh yeah, he did with our man. What's
what's Foker's dad's name again, Danira, No, Dustin, Dustin Hoffman.
And then I love Busch Castile in Sunday's Kid. I
love that he named the studio Sundance, that he was

(17:33):
a part of Sundance and that's part. You'd see that
in the start of a lot of movies at Sundance Studio,
and that's his he named after his character in that move.
Was he.

Speaker 5 (17:44):
Inspirational in the Sundance Film Festival? I think so possibly.

Speaker 3 (17:48):
I'm not too sure to check that the and you
know what, the theme song for Casey sun Dance Kid
is a little song by bj Thomas.

Speaker 4 (17:59):
Is It for You to nineteen sixty nine. I'm going
to check and make sure that matches up because I've
got a feeling and what not.

Speaker 3 (18:07):
Who I was listened to Colin Jackie Oshow and they
said something which I totally agree with. When I had
to look at the picture, mate, you you're the spitting
image of mother Teresa. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (18:19):
Sorry. Everyone keeps saying that I look like mother to
do so I don't really get yeah.

Speaker 5 (18:24):
I don't mean to laugh.

Speaker 1 (18:25):
I'm sorry, but can I can I give a shout
out for something that I read during this week a
Core Stadium inducted some people into the Hall of Fame. Yeah,
and your brother Matthew, our uncle Trisha, your brother in
law Andrew Johns was inducted in. And I spoke to Gail,
your mother our name obviously during the week it was
her birthday, and I thought this was this was really interesting.

Speaker 3 (18:47):
Did you not wish that one forgot it?

Speaker 2 (18:48):
Oh? My son of a bit?

Speaker 3 (18:52):
Up to Sunday, you've just called me a son of
a bitch.

Speaker 2 (18:55):
That makes it Gail that wow?

Speaker 4 (18:57):
Oh ship may I even I went out of my
messes all her cousins too, because she's the one that
messages all the cousins for everyone else's birthday exactly.

Speaker 1 (19:05):
She is the reminder. Everybody sends a group text going
it's this person's birthday, but she didn't do it on
her own one, which I thought was disrespectful. She should
have reminded everyone. Heay, But at the.

Speaker 3 (19:15):
End of the podcast, why don't be Ringer put it
on there and I'll wish her happy birthday.

Speaker 1 (19:19):
It's late, but yeah, I guess we should, and she
told a good story. She spoke to Joey obviously after it,
because they didn't even know either.

Speaker 4 (19:28):
No.

Speaker 2 (19:28):
I told her.

Speaker 5 (19:28):
Because I was the first birthday call of the morning,
and I told her because I'd send it in the paper.

Speaker 1 (19:33):
And yeah, I mean, he's got a fair for awards.
But what I thought was really a cool story. It's
actually very interesting thing. She spoke to Andrew, and Joey
said he was very nervous going there because he was
very nervous to meet Kathy Freeman, which.

Speaker 3 (19:47):
I thought was cool.

Speaker 1 (19:48):
I was like, because I thought he may have met
her around before during the time, but it was pretty
cool to see him be so in.

Speaker 2 (19:55):
Awe of me and YouTube to sort of understand.

Speaker 4 (19:58):
Like I, we didn't get the grasp of it until
we had Hadley on a few weeks back, when Hadley
spoke about his greatest moment and that was calling the
Kathy Freeman run in two thousand and then when I
went back and I was cutting.

Speaker 2 (20:09):
Up footage of it and you see all everything that
was going on and you're like, holy, you know, beep.
There's a lot of pressure on.

Speaker 3 (20:17):
Her podcast with Buzz Rothfield because Buzz was there, and
he said he was standing there as as Joey's wife,
Kate was putting Joey through breathing exercises when he was
about to go up and meet Kathy Freeman.

Speaker 5 (20:30):
Oh no way, I think as a yoga instructor.

Speaker 1 (20:33):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I just thought it was I thought
it was a pretty surreal thing. And to hear, because
Joey doesn't get very like, oh yes he does.

Speaker 2 (20:41):
He does.

Speaker 3 (20:42):
They put him in the company of a professional, you know,
he goes to Jey.

Speaker 5 (20:47):
Interviewed that you did years ago and you actually won
an award for it where you interviewed him on your
show awards and it was a great It was a
really great interview because it really showed his vulnerability. And
I texted him towards or I rang him and he
was on his way back and he just was saying,
oh my god, was it okay? I was so nervous.

(21:08):
That allowed people to see who you are.

Speaker 4 (21:10):
If you want to see him nervous, hop in a
car with him you're driving, and then drive really slowly
to the place you're supposed to.

Speaker 2 (21:17):
Be on time. If you honestly it is the it
is off its head.

Speaker 4 (21:21):
I've never seen someone if you're like even a couple
of minutes, like not at the exact time he's supposed
to be there, or you're not there fifteen minutes early.

Speaker 1 (21:29):
Oh that's not a bad he's.

Speaker 2 (21:31):
Not at all.

Speaker 1 (21:32):
But yeah, and what happened with what happened with dad?
And time? Because I don't reckon We've started a podcast
on time in three years?

Speaker 5 (21:40):
But it's on time for everything and everyone else, it's
just us. Is that because you're too comfortable.

Speaker 1 (21:46):
And you jump int you think I'm wrong? Is that
because you don't prioritize your family family.

Speaker 3 (21:51):
I've just got disdained for you all?

Speaker 2 (21:53):
Well, all, just.

Speaker 5 (21:56):
It's a tick swinger.

Speaker 1 (21:58):
Oh, it's a power thing.

Speaker 5 (21:59):
It's a power it's not a dick swinger. Yeah. Like
it's like you wait for me because I know you won't.

Speaker 2 (22:06):
Do you know?

Speaker 1 (22:08):
That's actually a great talking point. Do you look at
us and think like you're above us all in this?

Speaker 3 (22:16):
Sorry?

Speaker 5 (22:17):
Really?

Speaker 3 (22:18):
Do you guys look at me and see me as
your superior?

Speaker 5 (22:21):
No?

Speaker 1 (22:22):
No, no no.

Speaker 5 (22:23):
Like the times we did the podcast without him, it
was fun when we with bars then, yeah, that was
when it was really fun.

Speaker 3 (22:31):
I didn't find you found it fun it wasn't entertainment.
We're having fun over there and doing the Olympics obviously, Jack,
can you tell mom and Dad as well, because you
did a session with a couple of like the x Rubbit.

Speaker 1 (22:46):
There's a bit of a crew in the r p
A that will get together and they are a lot
of ex rugby league boys who are retired and they'll
do some.

Speaker 3 (22:52):
Training together and to get the players going straight.

Speaker 1 (22:55):
No, they do some training in that during the mornings
and Jack jumped in on one the sessions the other day.
I couldn't go, but you were partnered with great friend
of the podcast, Brad Parker, who is a renowned even
when he was a fit NROL player, one of the
worst trainers on the field of all time. Jack, what
was it like your experience with it?

Speaker 2 (23:14):
Well, they sort of they're really good about it. The
crew there, like there's a there's a crew in all
then beaches.

Speaker 4 (23:19):
They go to every sort of town and they'll they'll
do it once every two or three months where they'll
do it like a gym session, just to like see
how everyone's going. And this is the first one I've
been to since retired, because I've just haven't had time
to do it. Then I get a message a couple
days before from Parks going, mate, would you would you
come and do it with me?

Speaker 2 (23:34):
I'll pick you up.

Speaker 4 (23:35):
I was like, yeah, sweet, and I know that like
a couple of months back Parks did it.

Speaker 2 (23:40):
And there's like a big everyone.

Speaker 4 (23:42):
It was like sort of well known amongst the group
that Parks made a real message himself during the session.

Speaker 2 (23:47):
Might have might've been coming.

Speaker 4 (23:48):
Out of both ends in the gym there, correct, And
then I goes sweet. So as we're driving and it
picks me up at like five in the morning on
the way to the gym and he just says to me, hey, bro,
you've been.

Speaker 2 (23:57):
My partner today. I said, yeah, well good, Yeah, don't
count my reps all right.

Speaker 4 (24:03):
So we get there, start going and sort of get
into the motions of it, and it's not like you're
not training like you were when you're playing, so like
you're taking a bit by bit as hard as you want. Yeah,
it go as hard as you want, Like you know,
there's people, it's a big crew. You can go as
hard as you like. And mate, first first intervals, in
second intervals, in go for a run, come back. Some
burpies on the assault bike come back, and I just

(24:25):
look at Parks and you're starting to slow up and
starting to really slower. Next minute, Mark Brighton goes, where's Parks.
He's just disappeared left for like ten minutes. So we
go do our run come back, YadA YadA, comes back,
joins in with me for about another five minutes, go
for our run, come back, and then just disappears, like,
don't know where he's gone.

Speaker 2 (24:45):
So I'm just there trained on my own.

Speaker 4 (24:48):
By the end of it, there's a photo of us
and where there's like on a big joey and all
of our's story where it's like only five of us
and Parks isn't in the photo. And then we had
to get another photo where Parks come back back. And
but then as he's come back, like it so to
the full stage. It hit me so late because it's
like you doing all those yack exercises, like all the

(25:09):
lactic ones, you know, the ones like assault bike, and
we're doing like your sled bro sled pushes and stuff
like that.

Speaker 2 (25:15):
It hit me so late. But then I start going, oh,
I'm feeling woozy.

Speaker 4 (25:19):
Then I have a little I have a little yeah, yeah,
I was going to I was just just gaging.

Speaker 2 (25:22):
But yeah, it's one of those called me the lactic man.

Speaker 3 (25:25):
Jack would always lactic up when he was a kid
when we do some training because he's fast twitch. Jack's
like Jack.

Speaker 2 (25:31):
Jack could not fast on toe could be like, yeah,
we're you squat.

Speaker 3 (25:37):
You and Tom and George Burgess could squat the most south.

Speaker 2 (25:41):
That's a huge cool cobber did that.

Speaker 3 (25:43):
But you could maybe you you could.

Speaker 2 (25:45):
I don't know. I don't know, not in that crew,
but I don't know where you come up with that one.

Speaker 3 (25:50):
Maybe you're telling me you squatted.

Speaker 2 (25:52):
How much your quoting?

Speaker 3 (25:54):
Now you told me squat And then he said to me,
I could have gone hard, but they said no more.

Speaker 4 (25:58):
No, there's a there's like a strong squat to like
body mass ratio. And I was strong for my body
weight at the time, but I wouldn't put me in
the same carry as Tom and George.

Speaker 1 (26:07):
Now pound for pound you don't get him the same,
but pound for pound ratio to your bodyweight, your your weights,
yea very similar.

Speaker 4 (26:12):
Strongest I was at the house and Newcastle gags. Dange
Guy's got the best though. It's like not heavy, but
he's like his strength to weight ratio is coy Weeks
won that.

Speaker 1 (26:23):
He won the BMF which was the baddest MOFO award.
We got a w w WEE belt at mainly he
won that like every year he was out strong.

Speaker 3 (26:31):
His question for here, I'm going to ask you this.
If you do sand hills right, and what would be harder?
You've got You've got six hand toils to do, you
got to do sit. You only get one minute recovery
or you get four minutes recovery or you get eight
minutes recovery in between efforts. What's the hardest?

Speaker 1 (26:49):
Is this like a trick question.

Speaker 3 (26:51):
I'll just ask you the question, what do you think
is the hard So with one minute recovery between four minutes.

Speaker 1 (26:58):
Or the most post recovery is easiest? Yeah, yeah, it
is a truck question.

Speaker 2 (27:03):
Now for me, I'm saying for me it is no.

Speaker 3 (27:05):
I tell you why it's not.

Speaker 1 (27:06):
We do this.

Speaker 3 (27:07):
We had a spread. Now we have your opinion because
I was in the same opinion at the nights of
those years we went comps. Were this gun trainer Bruce
Callivat and needs to take us and mate, I'm going
to give you eight minutes recovery in between these like
thirty second efforts were mag is that guys were vomiting

(27:28):
after the third one, and I went, what is that?
He said, lactic acid peaks at eight minutes. So what
happens is you're getting the multitude of A then you're
going again. Literally your body is just teaming with latic acid.
So that's just something for the.

Speaker 4 (27:43):
But that's that's a thursdecond effort. We're going one hundred
percent as hard as you possibly cana I can.

Speaker 1 (27:49):
So when I asked if it was a trick question,
you said no.

Speaker 3 (27:52):
No, because it's common I couldn't have made it easier.

Speaker 2 (27:56):
Honestly, that was so far from common sense.

Speaker 5 (27:59):
Can I just point out I really enjoyed how you
condensed that story, Jack, which with Brad at the gym
and right, and then I said, listen.

Speaker 2 (28:14):
For your stories.

Speaker 3 (28:15):
Listen to Christian Anderson over here, I get ripped to shreds.

Speaker 1 (28:19):
I will say, I will say TJ. I will back
out there. Jack, you there were some details that you
didn't need to go to goes. Tell me about it,
all right, sweet, I didn't know what I didn't. You
made me write it down yesterday. You made me, do
you want headphones on? Do you want headphones on? Because
you're interrupting? Okay, now stop, came mister conflict conflictless.

Speaker 3 (28:40):
I loved it, Jack, I felt like I was there.

Speaker 1 (28:44):
I've got a little yarn for you.

Speaker 2 (28:45):
Actually from this week.

Speaker 1 (28:45):
Spoke to our man friend of the potty, Sammy V
Sammy Verrel's. He's just had groin surgery, right, so groin.
They entered either side of his downstairs nether region to
clean up some of the groin stuff. Just a little
fixer upper in the off season.

Speaker 2 (28:59):
Snipped now they go, They snipped the groins sometimes to
help them.

Speaker 3 (29:04):
Yeah, they don't know in the old days of osteo.

Speaker 1 (29:07):
Yeah, I don't know the intricate details of exactly what
the surgeon did, but he fixed his groins. But I
was interested in that. He told me what happened in
the lead up to the surgery, which I found highly
obscure and inappropriate. So he went into a room where
he was in a gown, and the surgeon came in
and said, can you police strip nude? So Sammy was

(29:27):
sitting in there, had to get like completely nude in
this toilet, and the surgeon came in and it wasn't
a toilet shaved his nether regions for him. But isn't
that something that you could have shaved yourself prior They.

Speaker 5 (29:42):
Might need it done in particular areas, probably didn't have
to shave the entire area, you know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (29:47):
I just thought that probably, like the way they do it,
they need to make sure it's done. Probably because they.

Speaker 4 (29:51):
Get there, they get into the surgical room, suddenly they
going this bloke you know again, this bloke could barely
barely like you know, he doesn't shave himself right, So
they've got to do it right away. Once they're in there,
they might have to stop the surgery.

Speaker 5 (30:03):
And also exactly where they're going in because they're probably
not shaving every bit of him.

Speaker 1 (30:08):
Couldn't they have just anethetized him first and then shaved him.

Speaker 4 (30:12):
Well, if they are entering him, you don't want rogue
hares getting around. What if one of them get stuck
in there?

Speaker 3 (30:16):
You want to hear about groin surgery. So a guy
who I played with at the night played for Australia.
This guy going to say who is he? He was
at the brewery having a beer and walked past the
table and there was a group of nurses sitting. He
didn't know the nurses. When past one goes, hey, how
you going. Oh, I've seen a lot of you, haven't
I I said. She goes, I was the nurse when

(30:39):
you had your groin's just done a few months ago.
Oh yeah, you know he's chatting to this. So he
goes to the toilet. As he goes to he walks
back past them and they don't see him. She's telling
the other nurses what a tiny dick he's gone, no way.

Speaker 1 (30:55):
And did Joey know that? You don't know that prior
he was a front rower. But you know what, let's
put out because I like asking our listeners some yarn. Sometimes,
if any of our listeners have any weird encounters with
doctors or nurses like that, send them through. I'll read
them out next week.

Speaker 5 (31:11):
Yeah, I actually do. From this dinner I went to
the other night, I sat down and I looked at
this lady. I was thinking, you know, you look really familiar.
Have we met before? And she gave me the weirdest
look and I was like, oh, maybe we haven't. She
doesn't like me, and she went, oh, have I treated
you or your husband? Before I went, and I'm thinking,
oh god, is she a proctologist or something? Went for

(31:32):
the worst area and I went, I don't think so.
And I said, why what do you do? I'm the psychiatrist.
I went, oh, interesting, No, I said, can I have
your card? I may need something? But and then she
was telling me she often will do that, recognize people
out and go oh hi, and then realize they're a client.
It's a real occupations.

Speaker 3 (31:54):
And she did that story. Yeah, probably could have cut down.

Speaker 5 (31:58):
Like yeah, I really thought of about it. I don't
think there was anything I could cut.

Speaker 3 (32:02):
Oh wow, okay, Yeah. I went to the other day St. Leonard's,
and I must say I was blown away. It was
like I was in a parallel universe, went to an
Asian supermarket, Chinese supermarket. It is insane. It's just like
all the things like like the Western things have like
kick cats, Cornetta, but with a twist. Oh mate, it

(32:25):
was like, yeah I did. I came back with the
with the green tea kick cats.

Speaker 2 (32:31):
That that much much I saw.

Speaker 4 (32:34):
I wondered whether I thought Mucha was a strange kick
had to get did you think that was green tea?

Speaker 3 (32:40):
Look? But it was delicious and all these ice creams
there that I'd never seen before, and ones that I
know like ice cream but with a variation we don't have.
I was just and wait for this. They have an
alcohol section all the ship. They must have no rules
like most bottle. As you going, I don't think you
can have any more more than forty percent yeah, alcoholic.

(33:02):
There were things excuse me, you've got emotional.

Speaker 2 (33:05):
There were things in there that was seventy percent seventy.

Speaker 3 (33:09):
Seventy it was I don't know, I couldn't read the writing.
It was must have been. It was like a Chinese
drink seventy percent. I was in awe. I walked around
there for it like an hour.

Speaker 2 (33:20):
Just it is very entertaining.

Speaker 1 (33:22):
You walk through like a Chinese grosser, one of those
that they are amazing some of the stuff that and
it's all very obscure stuff like if you to the
naked eye, you're kind of like, that looks weird. That
looks But if you really like analyze a lot of
the food that you've got there, because a lot of
it's not even written in English, like the packaging, and
you give it a crack.

Speaker 2 (33:39):
Some of the stuff is bloody whatever. When we're in Japan.
Cup Like you go the Kick has a dad got
Like I'm talking to Colbert.

Speaker 4 (33:45):
You go to any like supermarket or even like a
seven to eleven, and like even just KitKat, that brand
itself has like fifty different variations, like has all these
different types. Like the amount of variation with food Kuba
in Japan is off its head. Even go to machas
and stuff even just the options they have extra. Yeah,
it's searched for.

Speaker 1 (34:05):
The chicken kariaki burger at McDonald's. Good Jack, that was good.

Speaker 4 (34:10):
Oh yeah, mate, I got there was some crazy stuff there.
If you go on food review, stuff from TikTok of
of McDonald's and caves even like all those fast food
brands are even just they're like their Lawsons and seven elevens,
which are like they're like convenience stores.

Speaker 2 (34:24):
That are everywhere.

Speaker 4 (34:25):
You go and have a look at the foods they
have in the variations and food they've got compared to
the rest.

Speaker 3 (34:30):
Of the world, it will blow your It's awesome.

Speaker 2 (34:32):
Like shrimp Paddy Burger, I got coop.

Speaker 4 (34:36):
A lot of vegetarian, not vegetarian, but like pescatarian, and
like they're like because of the different cultures and stuff
like that. They've got all these different sort of variations.

go to Bangkock people, I'll say this, you must go
to Chinatown in Bangkok, it is the best Chinatown in
the world. It's really amazing.

Speaker 1 (35:01):
New York China sound's pretty good. If you want to
get stroys, you want to get some fake rolelexes, Bro,
New York, trust me. In New York China Town. I
got taken out the back of this place and I

Speaker 3 (35:17):
Sex?

Speaker 2 (35:18):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (35:19):
It wasn't sex. It was just like some French kissing. Nah.
I think it was like one hundred bucks Australia in
the end. And I haven't even like, I haven't even
worn it this one.

Speaker 3 (35:30):
I wouldn't. I'm not wouldn't try anything for this. The
old watch Jack got me sixty nine bucks, Thank you.

Speaker 1 (35:37):
Can I just say Jack didn't get it for you.
You just didn't know how to order it online. Yes,
you used your credit card to me one day.

Speaker 5 (36:12):
Wasted all the time you were every day you love
it beautiful ones upstairs.

Speaker 4 (36:15):
And for our listeners that listened earlier in the year
and we're pretty much till midyear. I haven't been hearing
the beep, so I'm assuming it's either broken, which is
more likely, or you fixed it.

Speaker 2 (36:26):
Hear it on the show it still goes.

Speaker 1 (36:28):
You just must be so accustomed to it now because
I heard it the other day.

Speaker 3 (36:30):
I hear it on the ship people goes off on
the show.

Speaker 1 (36:33):
The best part, the best part about that was Dad like,
when you told Dad we had the ability to buy
it online and to be delivered to the house two
days later, he was like, it was like you it
must have been like the first time caveman saw fire.

Speaker 3 (36:47):
He was like what what?

And then when it came in a package two days later,
Dad was like knocking on the the carbet box like
trying to open it. Jack was like, it's okay. Matt like,

long white like a big can, a can or a
canne percent alcohol.

Speaker 5 (37:39):
What's a normal beer four point.

Speaker 3 (37:41):
Five was it?

Speaker 2 (37:42):
Was it like the that Asian type brand?

Speaker 5 (37:45):
Did you get it from the Asian?

Speaker 2 (37:46):
Yeah, supermarket I've seen them get We won't allude to
what they do.

Speaker 4 (37:50):
You want to give the people to we want to
free advertising please, but the brand that it was, I've
seen them around Sydney promoting all their different percentages on
buses everywhere, so they must be pushing.

Speaker 5 (38:01):
There's no rules in Australia.

Speaker 1 (38:03):
Do you think that, like you, let's let's have a
real chat for a second. Do you think you need that?

Speaker 5 (38:08):
What do you mean the highest nine percent?

Speaker 3 (38:12):
I will say this. Remember down at the Beach Club,
they used to have this special beer that was on
Little Creature's vintage and it was nine percent alcohol. Now
that was Cuba's vintage, Cooper's vintage, and they used to
people used to go like they I think they got
rid of balees.

Speaker 5 (38:31):
Came to our place smoking a cigar in the house
and what the hell are you doing?

Speaker 3 (38:35):
First time I did me and we can watch a
MANI pack hour fight and and mate, I literally I
had four because you think about you having a beer,
but at the same time you're scaling one. I had
four mate, literally in about an hour and I got
lost on the way home. Then I said to Bales,
have a crack at this, and Bales had to go. Mate.
He was that o noxious Bales.

Speaker 5 (38:56):
He was blind and he never he holds his alcohol
very very well.

Speaker 3 (38:59):
Man play it. Had had a session with it once
down there and was going to hit someone over the
head with the chair. And that's at the point they went,
they're going.

Speaker 4 (39:07):
To serve this amount. When I was down there, they
took the Coopers off. The big storm that happened that
year and twenty Balcony fell sixteen were the big storm
up and down the coast. All the beaches were a
road and whatnot. The pretty much tore the half the
beach club apart. So they took Cooper's visage off because
they had no barrels left because it went into the sea.

Speaker 2 (39:27):
So there's someone out there with there's a whole lot
of whole lot of Cooper's vintage out there. They put
this other one on cold would fire and it was
like ten to a half percent, and it was like,
you know, had to hide the alcohol. They have to
like just put that like the hops in it, like
it's just.

Speaker 5 (39:40):
That mate, don't know why they'd make it.

Speaker 4 (39:43):
And they put it this like they put bake smoked,
bacon like essence into it, so that like it has
this effect and it masks the alcohol.

Speaker 2 (39:52):
These two drinkers, seasoned drinkers come in one day, the
other drink.

Speaker 4 (39:57):
I'm talking blokes that are every day, like they were
in there every day. And was it that these blokes
saw it come in? Oh, come on, goodb these loads
come in and they went.

Speaker 2 (40:07):
Oh, what's that size? Is this? Wood fires and new
drinks is like you know, four pm the arbor.

Speaker 4 (40:12):
Oh you have give it a crack. They probably had
their first one in twenty or thirty minutes, came back,
had their second one. I'm telling you because it's so strong.
These blokes that drink every day. By the time they
finished their second I was listening to them talk. We
couldn't serve them anymore. They were so blonde.

Speaker 3 (40:29):
Well you are saying, and that's the thing about it.
You say to someone I made this drinks six and
a half percent. Yeah, it doesn't make it doesn't make
a massive difference. May you have two. It's a big
just because it's quicker.

Speaker 1 (40:41):
It's more quicker, like it's you know, hits you that
much faster just before we move on you just sparking
my memory. I remember two thousand and nineteen Melbourne Storm
Awards night there we had a Bier sponsor for I
can't remember exactly the brand. Plus I think we've plugged enough,
but we had them all on our table kind of
thing like, and they were for one cam. It was
like two point two standard drinks in one can. And

(41:03):
I remember I got started on it and Felver said,
that's able, get started on it. In two thousand and nineteen,
Will Chambers, I believe he was. I think Chambers was retiring.
So Chambers got they announced Chambers, he got an award
and he had to go up to do like a
big retirement speech. I was so blind. I teed up,
thinking how good would this be if when they announced Chambers,
I go up and do the whole retirement speech as Chambers.

(41:26):
So when they announced Chambers up the whole table who
we were all just like legless from these cams. And
I start walking up and I see Chambers across the
room and put his hands up looking at me, and
then like one of.

Speaker 2 (41:39):
The coaching stuff as I walked past and grabbed me
and goes, what are you doing?

Speaker 1 (41:42):
I said, oh, I told him the plan they go
because I remember one of my favorite things of all
time was at the Espies, which is the American sports show.
I used to watch it all the time growing up.
Tiger Woods got an award. He mustn't have gone to
the ceremony, so they got Will Ferrell to go and
pretend to be Tiger Woods.

Speaker 2 (42:01):
And he got up and did that.

Speaker 1 (42:02):
So then I remember when I got by, and I thought,
that's what I'm going to do tonight as chamber.

Speaker 3 (42:06):
Do you know the place at Saint Kilda is that
called the sp Yeah, that's the sp as well. Okay,
the lead singer of You Am I Tim Rodgers. Yeah,
he's working there. I had to make the web there
for me the other make Guess who's seven beers behind
the bat of the SB I said, I don't know,
he said, Tim Rodgers.

Speaker 2 (42:22):
Well, guess what.

Speaker 4 (42:23):
I was at Old Bar over the last week as
I let people know before we're going great weekend and
the locals tell me the tongue curry races were on
right at the same time on the Friday or Saturday,
and they go, yeah, I guess.

Speaker 2 (42:37):
Who's playing out there?

Speaker 6 (42:39):
You are?

Speaker 2 (42:39):
I up at Tari there was a lot going on
up that way.

Speaker 3 (42:46):
You am.

Speaker 1 (42:46):
I How does Tim Rodgers find the time?

Speaker 4 (42:50):
M m?

Speaker 3 (42:51):
Because he was in another band for a while. He
was he took over singer of the hard Ones for
a bit.

Speaker 5 (42:56):
He may actually own it or be an owner in it.

Speaker 3 (42:59):
No, no, no he doesn't. Someone else. I asked the
bloke who owns it? I thought the same thing.

Speaker 1 (43:05):
He said, that was our That was my watering hole
for a long time at the SB there some surprised
me and Tim never locked horns.

Speaker 2 (43:12):
Yes, well.

Speaker 3 (43:15):
Quick, sure, and look the reason I came up with
this one is yesterday I'll watch World War Zoo again.
What a movie that is sensational. Brad Pitt, He's gorgeous.

Speaker 5 (43:26):
He really is really growing on me, hopefully not.

Speaker 3 (43:31):
Literally lying on you. Now something gold silver bronze for
zombie movies.

Speaker 1 (43:38):
Oh yes, what he got? Okay, I'll go first, bronze
Shorn of the Dead. I don't know if you've seen that.
It's a comedy sheep in it.

Speaker 3 (43:46):
That's shorn the sheep.

Speaker 5 (43:50):
Clever.

Speaker 3 (43:50):
That is is how your brain works, zombie sheep.

Speaker 1 (43:55):
Yeah, it's like that. Comedy duo from the UK, like
the Redheaded Guy.

Speaker 2 (44:03):
Mo guys.

Speaker 4 (44:03):
Yeah, they're very they're very funny. Who's that alien one
that you like to as well? It's like, what is
that alien movie? It's like Steve Yeah, something like that.

Speaker 1 (44:15):
It's very good.

Speaker 2 (44:16):
The lists will pick it up anyway.

Speaker 1 (44:18):
Yeah, sure whatever. Silver, Zombie Land, it's so good. Woody Harrelson,
Bill Murray has an appearance in it when he gets
shot because he's he got his makeup girls to dress
him up as a zombie prior to the apocalypse so
that he could blend in it is So it's probably
the best, the alien one. Yeah, actually, and it was
a very like blokey name. You never meet many pools

(44:40):
these days. Gold I am legend Will Smith. I think
it's the best one. When he has to choke his
German watch it.

Speaker 5 (44:50):
Yeah, it's the dog that Yeah.

Speaker 1 (44:52):
I mean, you don't want a zombie German shepherd because
they're aggressive at the worst of times. Anyway, very similar.

Speaker 5 (45:00):
I went Zombie Land, Bronze War, Woozi, Silver and Gold
Iron Legend. I haven't watched many zombie movies going.

Speaker 4 (45:08):
Okay, I've gone Short of the Dead's my three I've
gone with zombie Land is my two and also earlier
in the in the show, we talked about Garfield.

Speaker 6 (45:19):
Right.

Speaker 2 (45:20):
If you watch Garfield.

Speaker 4 (45:22):
Sorry zombie Land, double tap at the end because Bill
Murray plays Garfield in the In the aftercut scenes, they
do a moment where they flash back to the start
of the first movie where the zombie Apocalypse begins and
Bill Murray's doing a promo. He's doing a promo show
for Garfield three and people are going, you know, Bill,

(45:43):
is it?

Speaker 3 (45:43):
You know?

Speaker 2 (45:44):
Why did we have you know? Garfield one and two
were enough? Why three? And he said drugs, aren't you?

Speaker 1 (45:50):
So he's Garfield.

Speaker 2 (45:51):
Garfield's Bill Murray in those movies.

Speaker 1 (45:53):
You never knew that, Dad, I never knew.

Speaker 3 (45:55):
We saw Garfield the animation. One of their first dates,
Trish did.

Speaker 2 (46:00):
Memorable Yeah, ZOMBI Will. Zombie Land is the first movie
me and Jemmy I watched you.

Speaker 5 (46:04):
Oh, Oh, You Romantic, Oh look at Me Go?

Speaker 4 (46:07):
And then my gold was nineteen eighty five's Return of
the Living Dead. Now it is one of the old
school great classics. Eighties zombie movies are my favorite type
of zombie movies. Over the top and bizarre. This will
say in the trailer, I recommend watching the trailer. It
is so good to watch. They're alive, they're hungry, and
they're not vegetarians. The theme song is called Party Time

(46:31):
by a band called forty five Dead, and it finishes
with the line from the guy running the promo.

Speaker 2 (46:36):
They're back from the dead and ready to party. Just
sums up the eighties.

Speaker 5 (46:41):
Pretty fun.

Speaker 3 (46:41):
I've Gone, I've Gone, Bronze, Zombie Land, Silver Iron Legend,
and Gold World war Z. Shout out special mention to
Zombie Strippers thirty eight percent Rotten Tomatoes, Jenna Jamerson and
Robert England.

Speaker 5 (46:53):
Wots that's actually a movie.

Speaker 3 (46:56):
Yeah, zombie strippers. That would be Robert England, who was
Freddy read Krueger. Jenna Jameson who was a she was
a porn star. The critics didn't dig it. They low
bgic crap, lame so bad you want to be consumed
by zombie So that was that was a feedback on
that one.

Speaker 1 (47:13):
So negative, so negative.

Speaker 2 (47:15):
Look, are you.

Speaker 5 (47:16):
Guys interested in going on a cruise at all?

Speaker 6 (47:18):
No?

Speaker 3 (47:19):
No, you would.

Speaker 5 (47:22):
I think you need to try it. I think everyone
should try once. A girlfriend of mine went on one
recently and they accidentally booked her and another guy she
didn't know in the same cabin. They both sort of
went there and went, oh, so I had to go
up four flight of stairs up to reception and try
and sort it out. And there were no other rooms available,

(47:44):
and so they kind of went, oh, well, there are
two separate beds, so I guess you know, we can
make it work. We don't want to get off. So
that night, like the woman was really cold and she's going, oh, freezing.
Is there anyway you reckon we can warm up? He goes, well,
I could get out of bed and put some clothes on,
go up to reception and ask for a blanket. But

(48:06):
all we could pretend we're a married couple. And she's like, yeah,
you know what, I'm okay with that. I guess that
will work, and go I goes, okay, that's great. You
go to the lobby and get the blanket your blood
your self? Did you like it?

Speaker 3 (48:28):
Believe we got there?

Speaker 1 (48:29):
The stutter at the end didn't help your punch on.

Speaker 5 (48:32):
No, no, let me do that line again.

Speaker 1 (48:34):
Do you want to go.

Speaker 3 (48:36):
Just the last paragraph?

Speaker 2 (48:37):
Yeah, and it's a long paragraph.

Speaker 5 (48:39):
Goes, I guess I could, like we're married. Yeah, okay,
he goes, well, that's great, go and get the bloody
blanket yourself.

Speaker 2 (48:48):
Can we go one more time? Can you give you
a couple of tips on the last one.

Speaker 1 (48:52):
My one tip has been you've probably wrote it, you've
read it out three times in your head. Probably just
don't look down at the piece of paper.

Speaker 5 (48:59):
I didn't until the very and did you not notice?

Speaker 1 (49:01):
Can you recall the line?

Speaker 3 (49:02):
Now?

Speaker 1 (49:03):
What's the last line?

Speaker 4 (49:04):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (49:05):
I said, okay, great, go to reception and get the
bloody blanket yourself.

Speaker 1 (49:09):
Yeah, that's a bit better.

Speaker 2 (49:10):
It was better. Why didn't do that first couple of times?

Speaker 5 (49:13):
Because she kept staring at me?

Speaker 2 (49:15):
And this is.

Speaker 3 (49:18):
Do you think?

Speaker 1 (49:19):
Do you think Carl Baron? When everybody's looking at him
in the theater? He goes, can everyone stop staring at me?

Speaker 4 (49:24):
No?

Speaker 5 (49:25):
But you stare at me as though wishing me to stop.

Speaker 3 (49:27):
That's not true, No, no, it's true. You know what
to be able to have a better ending.

Speaker 5 (49:34):
Let's no, we're not going for the X ray, just like.

Speaker 3 (49:39):
You know, like a married couple. And she went, okay,
no worries, and and actually I'll leave that. He's going
to involve a thing called doggie.

Speaker 1 (49:53):
I've taken the quiz out today given that the last
two weeks we fore come on. Yeah, I haven't even
prepped it because I knew that, like every time you
get to a competitive and you fight, okay, well how.

Speaker 5 (50:03):
About I run it and that way I won't be competitive.

Speaker 2 (50:05):
We've gone, we're getting out of the high True, she understood.
There is no quiz.

Speaker 5 (50:10):
Make it up, just mentioning n r l W semi
final this Saturday up in Newcastle, the night versus the Titans.
Titans had a great win in Golden Point last week,
very exciting and also, Matthew, did you know Ces's first
grade in the grand final up there this week against Maitland.

Speaker 3 (50:28):
Picker Maitland Pumpkin Pickers the cold Field's derby, not the
intense rivalry which is Curry Curry versus, but nonetheless tough field.

Speaker 5 (50:37):
We have a lot of listeners.

Speaker 1 (50:38):
We have a tough game. I think Brock Lambs the
halfback for Maitlandrock.

Speaker 3 (50:43):
You have redone that haven't they redone? That ground incredibly
that there was a good ground. They used to be
our home ground all the time when I was at
Marsh Brothers Maitland and it was it was it was
a it was I don't.

Speaker 1 (50:55):
Know man, Samuel track.

Speaker 3 (50:57):
It was dog.

Speaker 4 (51:00):
I've actually played on a dog track a rugby league game,
a New South Wales Rugby League match against the Roosters
at twenty wenty dog track there.

Speaker 2 (51:11):
It is one of the best, what we want to
one of the best experiences I've ever had playing Reserve Grade.
I played there too, and I were there watching you
that it's all time.

Speaker 3 (51:19):
You're in.

Speaker 4 (51:20):
There's a little box where you get changed in and
then you literally yeah pretty much and then you walk
across the dog like the sand dog track.

Speaker 2 (51:28):
To get on the field. It is hilarious.

Speaker 1 (51:30):
I remember the game it was and Brandon. It was
Brandon's Smith's first game back from an acl in for
the Roosters.

Speaker 2 (51:37):
We went out well.

Speaker 3 (51:38):
Wembley Stadium, the most famous grand of the world, used
to be a dog track. Used to have a dog
track going around it.

Speaker 5 (51:43):
No true story before they redid it, obviously.

Speaker 1 (51:48):
Okay, last bit of feedback before we wrap up.

Speaker 3 (51:50):
Jack.

Speaker 1 (51:51):
Last week you spoke about falling asleep on the bus
in the bus Stepo, and we got a couple of
good people ringing in through message form saying that they
had also fallen asleep in some weird places. One of
our listeners Balls, he said he fell asleep in a
bath tub, woke up surrounded by packs of ice, and
immediately thought that he had his kidneys removed.

Speaker 2 (52:12):
Who was brilliant? He fell asleep in a bath.

Speaker 1 (52:15):
He fell asleep in a bath, and then he woke
up in the bath and there was ice and everything
around him.

Speaker 5 (52:20):
Someone's put it in.

Speaker 1 (52:21):
Well, he never got to the bottom of it, that
was all he said. And I yeah, yeah, he thought bizarre.
Well that's why, that's why it's a weird way to
wake up.

Speaker 3 (52:30):
Jack.

Speaker 2 (52:31):
I'd like an exploration on that one. Well, I never
replied to him.

Speaker 1 (52:34):
I just I just said, oh good anyway, and then
I blocked him next place. Jeffrey also said he woke
up in lud Miller's McDonald's on a busy Saturday morning,
three hours after landing in Darwin. So he obviously landed
in Darwin, went to get macas and just fell asleep
for three hours. And then we have another one Brookvale McDonald's,

(52:55):
and that's from Anthony Sea Ball.

Speaker 4 (52:58):
Yeah, there's a fear connection with me and seeves before
inger McDonald's were of course, everyone talks about FYI on YouTube.

Speaker 5 (53:09):
I noticed some guy how to golp me saying, Trisha,
just simple Google will give you snoop songs California Love.
He's not on it. Hey, mate, I didn't say it. Cooper,
did so go and do something.

Speaker 2 (53:26):
You probably didn't say something you might have agreed with it.

Speaker 5 (53:28):
I didn't, I think I said, wasn't it Tupac.

Speaker 3 (53:30):
It sounds like someone is about to have rope rage.
Go wank yourself? Yet, what was that?

Speaker 2 (53:35):
She said?

Speaker 3 (53:36):
A guy?

Speaker 1 (53:36):
Trish took a while in paying for the fuel, and
the guy was waiting behind you.

Speaker 5 (53:40):
Bloody kids wanted snacks school.

Speaker 1 (53:43):
And then she was walking back out and he said, geez,
you took a while, didn't you know?

Speaker 5 (53:47):
He didn't even say it, he had. He was throwing
the arms up in the air like a wanker.

Speaker 1 (53:50):
And then Trisha said, well, on the topic of wanking,
go wank yourself.

Speaker 5 (53:56):
Yeah, only as I was driving out and I just
wound the window.

Speaker 1 (54:00):
Bade yeah, and then yeah. And then she was so
happy with this.

Speaker 3 (54:03):
Guys, good one. Can't wait for this weekend.

Speaker 5 (54:07):
Hey, I've got hens. Who is my niece? Is Sarah's hands?

Speaker 1 (54:12):
Where are you going?

Speaker 5 (54:13):
I don't know. I don't know. It's it's strategically planned
to the finest details, like there's a long lunch.

Speaker 2 (54:18):
And then for them, so they're all going to Chinese laundry.

Speaker 5 (54:20):
And then there's a private area at some rooftop bar.

Speaker 2 (54:24):
And I'll tell you why.

Speaker 5 (54:25):
It's mat They go to the next level these days.

Speaker 2 (54:27):
Yeah, they do.

Speaker 1 (54:28):
And as we spoke about during the week, Matthew, Dad's
actually am seeing this wedding, making his long awaited turn
a return to the mc arena.

Speaker 2 (54:39):
Trisi's family weddings. Dad does a lot of them.

Speaker 5 (54:41):
She wouldn't make the last last one, you haven't.

Speaker 1 (54:44):
Yeah, that's what me and Jack did, which he did
a great job. Oh we killed it, bro.

Speaker 3 (54:49):
We got something in mind to start it.

Speaker 5 (54:52):
Yeah, just make sure it's appropriate.

Speaker 3 (54:54):
Well will be. We're going to do a number again.
We're going to do a song.

Speaker 1 (54:57):
Yeah, rhymes with indecent exp starting again.
