Man Delivers Full Gym Sermon To Brothers From Driver's Seat With Seatbelt Firmly On, Linehands Nationwide Quietly Check Their Smoko Pies

On The Boom

SOMEWHERE ON THE ROAD —

Australia's pumping community was briefly addressed by Chris Carter this week, who posted a reel from inside a vehicle telling brothers that 60 minutes a day changed his life forever.

According to the caption, training every day doesn't just build you physically, it builds you mentally and emotionally as well. The post ends with a firm instruction to get your ass to the gym. The reel was set to "Dem Gainz", which sources confirm is a track and not a pour schedule.

The sermon was delivered in sunnies, with the seatbelt on. Safety officers have praised the compliance and called it the most professional thing to happen in a vehicle since the last toolbox talk nobody listened to.

"Sixty minutes a day? I can't get sixty minutes out of a truck queue," said one linehand, who has been dragging pipe since 4am and considers that his session. A workplace psychologist who has never worked a day on site said emotional strength is also built by waiting three hours for a mixer that is 'just around the corner'.

At press time, the nation's linehands had agreed the gym was a great idea and would start Monday, straight after one more smoko.

Satire, obviously.
