Published Jun 26, 2025, 5:30 AM

Corey Oates faced the “Wall of Truth” on air this morning, revealing his frustration with certain Brisbane media figures who talk trash in print but smile at press conferences. Callers joined the honesty fest, confessing their secret dislikes — from 12 awful cousins to controlling partners and even a not-so-loved grandma.

I heard podcasts year more kiss podcasts, playlists and listen live on the Free Heart.

Please asks fall. So this is something we're brought in to make Corey open up a little find out a little bit more about choreots.

A different layer.

Yes, yeah, because you like an onion.

Yeah, we want to pearl you.

Yes, it literally is a wall with envelopes and Corey has pulled off a pink envelope. I can open it up.

Okay, that's the opening, and you must answer this question truthfull.

Here we go. This would be interesting.

Okay, read it out loud, please, Corey.

Who's one person in Brisbane media you pretend to like but can't stand. Oh I definitely cannot name names. But there's a couple of them. There's a couple of people in the city who Yeah, look, they write really brutal pieces.

Okay writers, Yes, interesting.

They do it all the time. They do it to plenty of people in sport and not in sport, and and they write it and then the next day they expect you to be their best friend.

And it's like if you had someone write something really negative about you always.

During your career, and I see it under other people and then the next day they go, I don't want to talk to him.

I don't, right, So they'll turn up to a press conference and hey, Corey, yes, nothing happened.

So have you ever been instructed to talk to those people by the Broncos even though you know that they have treated you pullingly?

They always say you have to anamos, We'll I'm not And then they go, well you have to. I'm like, okay, well I'm not going to answer their questions and you just ignore their questions. So you've still been in the group.

But like so like can a press cops and go hey Corey, what do you think is going to happen tonight against Canterbury Bankstown? Yeah, and you just ignore it.

Yeah, And then like they from that person, what do you ignore me? I'm like, well, what'd you write about me?

Oh?

You know, that's just what everyone's saying. I said, well, you wrote it, And like being here now it's very opening because you know, I feel I'm really privileged to be in this position and I get to speak my truth and my beliefs and and just give you the insight I guess of the way it works for us. And yeah, I just I don't like it how people do that, and then and then like they don't expect the person they write that about to have any hard feelings or whatever. And in all, honestly, when you do something like that to me, you're as, you're done, Like, I don't, I don't hold a grudge. You could call it grudge.

It sounds a little bit like.

You going on my bad list, as in, you're gonna have to do as whatever you can to get back on my good list because I'm not going to give you the stuff. And I just that's one thing I really don't like. They don't think there's someone behind that article that that it's not going to hurt anyone. I'm going to write this about that person.

But they would argue that that's your job, and part of your job is to be having media scrutiny. But all of us who've.

Been on the other end of their job is to report the media and the news. Sweet, were you gonna understand that when you write something bad about someone, they may not want to talk to you.

How many people are on that list?

Oh, it's growing.

Is there anyone in anyone in this building on that list that yeah? Okay, good little water?

And did they know they're not they would they if we were to ring that person you had a list, would they know?

Oh?

I don't know, Well they know next time I did it all in.

Yeah. Do you have someone this and this can relate to people that are not necessarily in the media have had nasty stories. Do you have someone in your life that you are forced to pretend to like? You see them?

And this is on my dad's side. She actually told my dad that I wasn't his kid, forced him into courts for DNA testing. And she's never looked at me like I was her grandchild. But now she looks at my children like her great grandchildren. And I have to I have to pretend to like her for my kid's sake.

What was that?

He's just a bit controlling. They've been on and off for quite some time, and when they're off, he says, you're not allowed to see anyone. You can't date anyone, even though they're not together. So if I say something to my sister, then she gets all angry at me. So I just pretend to like him. That's tough to keep everyone happy.
