  Low OK, a friend called me up now because obviously I don't
• 0:17
  live in Brisbane anymore. I'm up in the the Whitsundays
• 0:20
  area. A friend from Brisbane calls me
• 0:23
  up, says AJ. Check this out.
• 0:26
  He goes, what? When you think of Las Vegas what
• 0:28
  do you think of? And I'm saying a few things and
• 0:30
  he says, you know Las Vegas and and football.
• 0:33
  What do you think of. I've put a few things out there.
• 0:35
  He goes, well, what? When you think of Las Vegas he
• 0:37
  says don't you think of gambling.
• 0:40
  Drugs. Yeah, cocaine.
• 0:43
  And I'm. I'm thinking about it.
• 0:44
  Yeah, of course. Las Vegas.
• 0:45
  I automatically. I'm always thought he'd like
• 0:47
  referring to people I knew that had been over there.
• 0:50
  But your Las Vegas, Sin City, I I immediately think of gambling,
• 0:56
  roulette, playing cards, losing money, half naked women walking
• 1:02
  around. I've never been there.
• 1:03
  I'm just saying this is what I've seen on movies and TV, you
• 1:06
  know, a city of ill repute. I also think of a city with lots
• 1:13
  of, with lots of the The Devil's Dandruff getting around.
• 1:16
  You know, if you want some nose beers, well, it's the place you
• 1:19
  go. It'd be easier to get.
• 1:21
  It's probably more nose beer available there than there is in
• 1:24
  Medellin, Colombia, but that's that's what I think of.
• 1:29
  That's the kind of place. And so he goes, well, what do
• 1:32
  you think if you've got a a football team, Australian
• 1:36
  football team, rugby league team, going to Las Vegas?
• 1:40
  I think that spells trouble. I don't think.
• 1:44
  I don't think that's a good idea.
• 1:46
  If I'm the CEO of a rugby league football club and someone comes
• 1:51
  and says to me, hey, you should send send the boys off to Las
• 1:55
  Vegas to play footy, I'm like, yeah, that'll be a hard pass
• 1:59
  thanks very much. Because you know the boys need a
• 2:02
  little bit of oversight and they can get themselves into trouble
• 2:08
  just down at the in Brisbane who you know come on, let's let's
• 2:12
  have a bit of common sense. But but this is what they're
• 2:17
  doing. What makes a story.
• 2:24
  OK, so I think that's a bad idea.
• 2:26
  I just don't think. I just don't think anything good
• 2:28
  can come out of it. But you know football teams do
• 2:33
  what football teams do to try and promote it.
• 2:36
  Now I'm going to read through this.
• 2:38
  I'll bring it up. I'll read through it.

• 4:35
  Partnering with this program. This idea to take professional
• 4:39
  football players to Las Vegas. What could possibly go wrong?
• 4:43
  Queensland Police, You know, the new motto bets they're looking
• 4:47
  for? People who want lifestyle and
• 4:49
  money I'll find, I'll find the picture and I'll put this up.
• 4:57
  I'll put this. I'm going to put this up on the
• 5:00
  for the cover of this episode there was an article that came
• 5:05
  out and had I'm going to find it.
• 5:07
  It had all the the people who I will find it I'll bring it up.
• 5:13
  So this story had come up and I didn't read it.
• 5:15
  Probably it was whatever. It's it was headlined 20
• 5:20
  Queensland Cocaine Dealers Who Faced Court in 2023.
• 5:23
  When you're looking at the picture, there's a police
• 5:25
  officer right there. Her name is Rachel.
• 5:28
  He's Perry. Really.
• 5:29
  She's just a she's basically a cocaine dealer who pretended to
• 5:32
  be a police officer. Oh, anyway, the the story goes
• 5:39
  on. Like I said, I haven't read it.
• 5:40
  Probably. It says police uncovered coke
• 5:42
  crimes committed by sporting sporting stars, a lawyer and
• 5:46
  even a poster girl cop this year.
• 5:49
  So that was her. Rachel.
• 5:50
  Yeah, I think it was Perry. Rachel Perry.
• 5:52
  She was actually, she they used her as their poster girl and
• 5:55
  they're trying to advertise. It was another police
• 5:57
  recruitment. So maybe maybe for police
• 6:03
  recruitment, seeing that they're sponsoring this little little
• 6:06
  exercise in Las Vegas for the Broncos, Maybe they could have
• 6:11
  former officer Rachel Perry, You know, because she's also a
• 6:14
  cocaine dealer. Make it former cocaine dealer, I
• 6:17
  suppose. Maybe they could have her as the
• 6:19
  poster girl advertising for them who?
• 6:24
  Who in their right mind at the Queensland police recruitment
• 6:27
  thinks this is the great idea? Seriously sponsoring the
• 6:32
  football team? Professional football players to
• 6:35
  go to Las Vegas? Sin City?
• 6:39
  I I hope nothing goes wrong. I really do hope nothing goes
• 6:42
  wrong. If something does, you're going
• 6:47
  to be sitting there with with egg on your face, more like a
• 6:55
  white powder on your face going. I don't know who could possibly
