  Speaker 1: Hey, dribblers, Sorry about this. The audio in this episode
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: is not amazing mouthsayer, cable dog ate my homework, don't
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: know tech issues. It's still very listenable and enjoyable, but
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: you'll hear the odd hiccup and apologies for that. Hope
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: you still enjoy it. Bye. It's Friday. It's one hundred
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: and forty days to Christmas, which means it's about seventy
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: eight days till Catherine puts up her Christmas tree, I believe.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: But more excitingly for Net four fans, it's seventy two
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: days until the real Christmas, which is the start of
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: the Constellation Cup. Because, of course, while the Commonwealth Games
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: may be behind us, we are just in the throes
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: of an exciting netfull year. You're in No Dribble strappings. Hello.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: My name's Carolyn Swandelle. Welcome to No Dribble podcast. So
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: we talk about therefore, we talk about so much more.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: And I'm with zealous and we sent her missing somebody.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: The empty chair beside me has gone to the bathroom obviously,
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: but we decided that we needed to get cracking anyway,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: because there's just we can't wait for her to be ready.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: If we pause every time Catherine needs to go to
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: the toilet. We'll never get this podcast done, sir.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: I should try rooming with it like, oh no, it's happened.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: It's down. It's like oh man.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: Whayed to offer you. But can we just tell the
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: truth that we had audio issues for the first forty
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: five minutes. I Sitney here, you were sitting there quiet nicely.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: You had your device. I just you don't need those.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: We've got audio issues. Would you like to introduce yourself.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: I'm cut Cots, welcome back, Thank you.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: Hey, I've got a dilemma. Great, I needed to help
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: me with. Well, I don't need to help with because
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: it's solved, like it's over. But I want to know
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: what you would do. So last Saturday morning, my son
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: was filling in for a football team, and so his
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: teams playing at ten thirty and he was filling in
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: for a team that was playing at eight thirty. So
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: we got up and we drove to the fields and
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: we parked. And where these fields are it is notoriously
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: difficult to get apart. But because we were so early,
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: I got there and I got like pole position, and
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: it was a bit of a crappy morning, lots of rain,
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: lots of crappy weather, and I passed and I went
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: to watch him. And then at the end of the game,
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: there was an hour between the first game and then
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: his team's game, and he wanted to stay there because
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: a couple of his mates were there, and I was like, yeah,
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: that's fine. All the parents are here. They're all sort
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: of running the soccer. And then I thought, what do
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: I do If I get in the car and go,
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: I lose pole position. But I needed a coffee, so, oh,
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: I can't do you know what. I stood there in
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: the front of the car and just looked looked for
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: a bad It was these fields between two towns, right,
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: so they're not there's no you can't walk anywhere.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: I thought, now, are you talking about getting an uber
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: to get the coffee? Or uber? Right? It's come to you.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: Oh, Uber to the coffee.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: I don't even think of that.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: How stupid am I? I should have Uber to the coffee?
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: Welcome to even do that?
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: Knowlogy, what did you do? Oh?
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: I've got in the car and drive and then I
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: had just a crap park. When I got back and
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: it was pouring rain and Austin was covered in mudin
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: anyway that my whole day went downhill from there and
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: then netbik but wish see I need. I should have
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: rang you to and said what do I do? You
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: would have said get an uber, but problem, he's in
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: the country. An uber could take up to like forty
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: five minutes, but it would have been worth it to
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: miss his game to have a great park when he finished.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: Do you know what I think you should have done? Actually,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Liz is leant a little bit on the fact that
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: you are a beloved celebrity in this country and talk
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: to someone about your dilemma and just going, oh, really,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: wish I had a coffee and then either they would
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: drive you to get it, or they would drive and get.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: It for you.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: I think this is the time you don't get paid
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: for your job, so you might as well exploit who
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: you are in some ways. And that would be you know,
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: they'd feel like I'm doing a national treasure a favor.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: You'd have a coffee, your car wouldn't have moved.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's true. Do you know what I
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: should have done was put it out on socials. Yeah.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: Quite a few years ago, when it flooded, we got
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: flooded in and I didn't have any coffee beans. So
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: there's a recurring babe my iced in the coffee. And
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: one of my neighbors had a spare bag of beans,
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: and she brought it to our front gate and we
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: sort of got her to sort of toss it to
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: where the tractor was. Anyway, we finally got it because
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: we couldn't get our car in and out to drive
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: to get some beans. So and because as I put
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: it out, I said on the socials, I am help,
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: I am I can't be held responsible for my temper
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: for the next twenty four hours. Enough, the beans last
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: cost up to three weeks. What that's the rule of three.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: That's the rule of three.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: The rule of three. Use You got three months from
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: when they're picked green to use them. You've got three
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: weeks from when they're roasted to use them. You've got
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: three minutes from when they're ground to use them.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: Three minutes from when they're ground.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, look the moment if you if you pre ground
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: grind your beans, it's not as good as if they're
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: freshly ground. It's probably controversial.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Remeymber. The other day we were talking about how
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: it was going to be difficult for you to explain
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Wanka and teed LESSO tell them.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: Three wait till I start talking about my wines hella.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: All right, so that was the dilemma and you just
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: solved it by capitulating.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I just capitulated. But I need Okay, I should
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: use the socials more, shouldn't I?
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: Yes? Or the group chat. Yeah, because so far you've
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: only used the group chat in the last couple of
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: days to swear about the neck ball. But you know,
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: if we can all the blood Dribble Facebook page, you
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: would have had a coffee delivered to you by our
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: amazing dribblers within seconds.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: Because I wish all the world this is true. But
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: on our group chat, didn't you ask us to post
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: pictures of our cups of tea to prove was it
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: just to prove to Catherine that it can be done?
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: No, you said yours through too late, and I will
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: post them and I want the dribblers to try to
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: pick whose tea is which so obviously know a little
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: bit about mate someone's someone's problem with pouring.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: But yeah, so, but I put a picture.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: Of a cup of tea up on the You was pathetic,
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: but it wasn't finished. But I'm just showing that you
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: can pour. You can pour your milk and your water
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: in without it needing to turn into a national crisis,
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: like isn't it wasn't finished. Well, the tea bag needed
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: to steep for a while. Oh well, that that was
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: the border level. That's what that was the level that
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: you going to lead that up. Yeah, that was pathetic.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: You have to make another one to get any sort
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: of tea. Okay, you could have another one.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: Excuse me, excuse me, lady of the land here, you
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: don't use tea bags. That's not a proper cup of tea.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: That's what you use in emergencies, you do, you were
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: using leaf. I use leaf tea. We have a teapot
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: and every morning we get half and we fill the
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: teapot up, and every person in our house gets a
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: cup of tea delivered to them, so children, me, husband
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: does a delivery, and then you have to refresh the
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: teapot and then we get.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: So one person in the house does not get his
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: tea delivered to him.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: Well, sometimes he does, but not often. Well, he gets
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: his second cup delivered to him because I do the
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: second cup.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: Now, this is what I need to do. I think
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: I need a tea pot and then to still that
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: bucker up to the top and then I can just
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: be civilized with my cup paw and just go again.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: Cup like you.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: Oh, I don't have that sort of stamina. Well, so
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: getting a bigger cup then would help it, you said,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: don't just tell me to get a bigger cup because
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: I still fill it up.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: No, Catherine, tea, just get a gribbed.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: Catherine, it's probably where.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: Have you got itself? Yes?
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: I do.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: I've got a nice friend one. I like my tea cozy.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: I bought it from the ladies at the Yeah, I
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: brought it from the ladies at the c W at Bangalow.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: Oh, it's such a dying art. Who's going to be
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: making us that cool stuff when the next gen, you know,
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: like and who's doing all the home baking? I feel
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: like all that sort of stuff is so retro bake do.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: The sewing and repairing clothes? Right. So my mom, my mum,
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: who is in her mid eighties, and it's unbelievable, she
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: still like does hems and buttons and stuff. Or Matthew
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: does buttons. I can't do buttons, so I can't sew.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: But I worry that where we've got such a disposable
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: approach to fashion that we actually should be repairing, and
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: I don't know how to repair. So I've asked them
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: to teach Evelyn because my time is past. I can't
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: do it.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: Yep, can't teach Chilled Dog, New tree Wolf.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: Someone sends up with to Evil or one of their
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: kids the other day about mum having to sew on
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: the button and they're like, no, that's dad's job in
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: her house. Yeah, that's feminism.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, my husband is certainly the one who does those things.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: I just say, I can't get the sewing machine down.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: It's too high. Not that you use a sewing machine
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: too to get that down, but the sewing basket and
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: the sewing machine are up on high. And it's like, well,
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: everyone loves to tell me though I'm now the shortest
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: person in this household, I'm not getting that ship down.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: You do it? Can we stay on the topic of
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: Pete and go to my not Dribble recommends yes, so
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: carry all as Pete's my husband for Oh, I don't know. Honestly,
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: Carolyn has got these strip lights, but they're censored.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: So when you're a bit excited then when it was
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: like Pete and strim Street, Yeah, I should just end
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: the story there. Anytime, if you walk into the bathroom
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: or walk wherever, it automatically lights up. You knowderf for
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: you're turning to light on so it gives you enough
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: light and then it's just censor for her.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: Have the long and then you leave. Anyway, I was
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: right even about them like a crazy person. Pete bought
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: me some and they are the best things out every bra.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: They're like a ruler and you can just stick them on,
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: to stick them onto the wall, chuck them in your
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: suitcase if you're traveling somewhere, particularly if you're taking your
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: mummy somewhere for instance, and it's like you don't know
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: whether your accommodation will have good night light type situation.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: So I'm going to take them to your ze next
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: week USB change and they'm fantastic on but you're getting
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: good use sound of them. Get on board it. And
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: they're just from what Amazon or something, aren't they well
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: know is a very expensive shop that he brought them
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: from to team were a gift. I don't know, we're
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: probably taking more Amazon US. Oh good glad you like
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: alf we should take a little break and talk about
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: some netball though. Okay, I've got some controversy, and look,
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: we've talked about it before, but I think it's timely
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: for us to raise this again. So I've had a
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: number of dribblers right to me over the last couple
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: of days, obviously grieving somewhat a Commonwealth Games gold medal
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: that we probably all thought was going to come back
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: to Australia, didn't we. So it's been a bit of
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: a shock to the system. But actually sort of talking
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: about that, and we talked about this the other day
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: that in allowing internationals into our super netball competition rise
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: and tide raises or boats, everyone's getting better. But what
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: point do we go It's not worth it for Australia anymore.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: We've now you know this, We've now made our lives
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: much more difficult. So, you know, I had Sharon Brock
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: wrote to me and she said that, you know, personally
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: she's a big fan of the internationals and obviously he's
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: a Thunderbird supporter. She certainly would be, but you know,
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: is just saying, now, you know, have we seen the
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: last of our every four years Commonwealth Game gold medal.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: Is next year's World Cup starting to look under threat
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: for us? And what's what price are we willing to
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: pay here? Discuss? Don't ask me, well, let me tell you.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: Let me. I've got some notes and things that I
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: wanted to say. And this will obviously fantastic. Story came
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: to me from madridblin named Emagillard and she's Irish and
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: County Mayo has won the Gaelic Football Championship for the
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: first time since nineteen fifty one, seventy five years since
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: they have had a championship, and they just won it.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: And this town, this county is going absolutely insane now
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: very interesting because they think they were cursed. In nineteen
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: fifty boy yes son the winning squad. When they came
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: back into County Mayo interrupted a funeral procession. Legend has
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: at a Catholic priest cursed them all, saying they would
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: never win another championship as long as they all shall live.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: Last surviving player from that winning team died in twenty
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: twenty three, leading many to believe that the curse has
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: been broken. So Mayo has been a running joke for
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: years and years and years that it's like Mayo can't
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: win anything. And you know, you look at the South
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: City rabbit Os here in rugby league or forty three
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: years between their last two Premier issues. Now every sport
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: has these clubs who have this incredibly long period without success.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: Tea Birts nearly two seasons without a win and their
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: fans are absolutely rusted on. So is losing actually something
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: that creates greater commitment from the fans. Does it make
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: your dessert sweeter when you've eaten your Brussels sprouts for dinner? Oh,
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: it absolutely does. But it is also going to make
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: Australia better, Like they haven't ever made the gold medal game,
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: so you can't tell me they're not now going in
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: there and flipping every rock upside down to see what's underneath.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: Where do we need to improve? We've got a World
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: Cup at high next year. Yeah, that can't happen to
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: us again. I think it is so good, as I said,
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: internationally for all the other countries, but it's a kick
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: in the ass for us as well, and that's not
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: always a bad thing.
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: Yes, And whilst I do need to tread carefully, I
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: would love to see I don't think the answer is
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: restricting the imports. I think the answer is getting more teams, right,
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: So that's something that that certainly is a focus. But
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: I actually also think, yes, five New Zealand players, five
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: silver Fans played in super Netball. How many Jamaicans four
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: maybe played in super Netball five?
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: Do you know how many Diamonds played in super Netball twelve? Right?
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: So yes, it helps the other countries, but our players
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: get to play against some day in day out. The
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: thing that having all the imports certainly restricts is the
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: number of Australian players with contracts. But there's still you know,
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: six israel plays ish. I don't quite don't have the
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: numbers in front of me. So I do think though
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: that from a commercial point of view, saying being able
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: to say this is the best league in the world
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: with the best players is certainly helpful. I know from
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: speaking to people at Channel nine who were there for
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: the last negotiations when you know super Netball came to
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: nine a decade ago, was that that was something that
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: was really quite exciting for them and it's something that
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: we've sort of built the commercial reality on. So I mean,
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: I think it's it's always it's good to always good
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: to question, right, if we're going to have our unlimited imports,
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: we should have a really good reason as to why
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: it shouldn't just be it's because that's what we've always done.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: If we're going to restrict the imports, we need a
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: good reason as to why. But certainly it's having that
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: loss in that semi final ego, Well, because we've trained
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: up the rest of the world. Well, maybe we have,
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: But is that a if we can take a step back,
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: Is that a good thing for the game globally? Yeah?
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: Is it a good thing for the game domestically, probably,
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: because there's so much more interests when it's you know,
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: when it's in the balance. That's when sport is at
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: its greatest. When things are in the balance. It's like
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: you know, you know, when you lose it. When you
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: win a Grand Final by twenty, it's great, but when
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: the final whistle goes, you're like, yeah, we won. When
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: you win a Grand Final in the last second, that's
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: when you lose your shit, right, because it's in the balance.
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: And that when sport is in the balance, whether it's
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: in a Grand final or whether it's in a competition
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: where anyone can win that's when it is it is
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: at its best, and I'm proud that Australia has been
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: able to do that for the rest of the world.
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: I think that's something we should absolutely hang our hat on.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think your point is so valid in
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: that how invested were people that wouldn't normally be in
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: this game's campaign because they knew all these players from
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: other countries and knew them really well, so they could
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: watch that gold medal game, they could watch the bronze
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: medal game. I know most of the players on the court.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: I think that is so special and it gets you
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: excited and then it's going to get you even more
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: excited about next year. Well, I'm really excited about the
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: Constellation Cut for a whole lot of reasons, obviously having
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: watched these players, but now seeing New Zealand as the
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: current gold medalist, and I think about rugby union and
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: like the Bledislow Cut Australia New Zealand, it happens every year.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: Australia hasn't won it since two thousand and two, and
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: they get tens of thousands of people going along to
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: see this fully expecting that the Wallabies are going to
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: lose it. And it's like that is part of the whole.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: I need to be there when this happened, when this
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: tight Ferns and those Silver Ferns fans who made their
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: way to Glasgow, they were there when they saw that happen,
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: and it's so then will that's part of it? And
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: I just I think it's a I hate to see
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: the Diamonds lose. It was hodeous slip well afterwards, but
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: I also feel like it's possibly the best thing that
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: could have happened, not just internationally but for us as
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: a sport, Like it really starts to bring in something
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: that it's like, oh, yeah, well the Diamonds just always win.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: Oh they must only always win because everyone else is hopeless.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: It's like, no, they win and it's hard to win.
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: And I think that's that's much more valuable. I'm excited
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: by it. I feel sorry for those young women who
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: had to be the ones, you know, the first team
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: to not get into a Commonwealth Games gold medal. But
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: I feel like that will be in and we saw
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: it the very next day when they came out in
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: the bronze medal max that they went to hell with this.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: Let's show them what we can do. And I really
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: hope mentum of New Zealand's win carries on to something
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: getting fixed in the annually.
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: Ill Yeah, And I also think that, like the redemption
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: after for next year's World Cuff is such a great
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: opportunity for the Diamonds as well, like to like, that's
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: a great story, that's really exciting. Someone did say to me,
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: you know, about the Olympics push. They were like, well,
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: be careful what you wish for the rest of the
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: world might get good at netball, Like that's great. I
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: want the Netball World Cup to be like ten nations
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: can win it. But you know, when you watch the
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: Football World Cup, it's still the same sort of five
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: or six nations that you see at the pointing end,
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: but everything's just that bit more condensed in terms of
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: who can win. I would be racked to see that.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: I would be wrapped to see China and the United
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: States and India and these really populous nations put a
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: crap town of money into the sport and development, Like
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: how good would that be?
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: Well, netb USA, it's advertising for a whole lot of positions.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: If anyone wants to go over and build a game
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: in the United States, there's the jobs are open right now.
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: So yeah, interesting.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: I was watching and this obviously changed over the weekend,
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: but you know, I was watching a number of the
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: pool matches and I thought, so, it's for argument's sake,
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: say giants, that were our worst super netball team just
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: based on where they came on the ladder. I don't
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: I don't think that necessarily reflected how close some of
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: the games they played were and the excellence of what
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: they shot on court. But I think that they could
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: have been quite competitive at the Commonwealth Games and not medalists.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: But you know, and that makes it really hard if
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: you are a netballer in this country, because you've got
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: to be really world classed into the Diamond. But what
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: are they doing. They're saying, I'm going to be world class.
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: I'm going to I'm going to do what I need
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: to do in order to get that position, and then
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: if they do, then you know, they get to play
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: in one of the best in the world. Before we
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: leave on I just want to show everyone the showing
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: off that's going on here. What's up? Look at the
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: size of that font. Do you actually read that? Yeah?
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: I can read it. You know, it's not I probably
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: should have. I did think earlier on when I was
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: reading it that I probably should have made that slightly large. Anyway,
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: all good shot, everyone growing questions, but also, like all
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: of this stuff, thinking about you know, the other sports
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: and things. It's so critical that we retain the heritage
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: of our super net ball clubs, isn't it. Like you
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: look at that with the so the Rabbit O's were
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: in and out of the competition, the West Tigers have
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: had mergers and things, and I know, you know, so
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: the Sydney Swans were what were they in Melbourne? The
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: South Melbourne, But there's still the Bloods and we get
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: a whole lot of peace from Melbourne coming up to
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: support them. And you can't create that heritage. It needs
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: to be built. And it's like, I'm so if we
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: have to have changes of ownership structures and things, I
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: really hope we can retain the brands because you know,
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: the Mavericks have just started Booth three years in now,
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: but it's like they've got none of that sort of
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: heritage to pull on. And then when we were all
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: at the Swift's thirty year at dinner, you know, you
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: look at all of that and that it inspires the
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: players and keeps fans from different generations connected. And you
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: know you can't. It has to happen over time, but
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: it does. It matters for a sport and for sports fans.
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: It does.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: Interestingly, County Mayo have the same colors as the rabbit
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: O's that are red green, so it has that five
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: years and the poor Barsket. Everyone in Mayo is just thinking,
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: can your diary? All right? We should take a quick
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: break and come back. Okay, well, gosh, it's Friday now,
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: we're exhausted. We've been talking about neck Bull for well
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: over a week now. I think a question for you,
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: do you because you were carrying on about Holy Madison
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: and the book that I read it yeahn four time
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: and answers down the rabbit hole. Yes, and you said
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: I'm going to get it. Yes, you happen.
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: I have you.
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: I've started with mome work. I haven't finished. I'm a
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: third of the way through. What it strikes me is
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: an incredibly exploitative and quite tragic story of an old
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: rich man taking these young women and basically holding them hostage,
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: and this horrendous, bloody life. So it is it's much
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: more interesting that I thought, and it's a much more
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: feminist text than I respected. I've got to say because
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: actually that is what Holly Madison is saying. I don't
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: know where she will get to in the ark of
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: a story. I'm three quarters of No, I'm thirty percent
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: of the way through. That's different from three quarters, Maxkans.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: If you're doing your HC, don't come to me for you.
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: But I suspect that's where she's going, because she really
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: is talking about this setup and how vile and exploitative
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: it was, and how the women were pitted against one
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: another in competition for Hugh Hefner's attention, but also for
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: the possibility that if you get to be a Playmate
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: of the month, that will change your life, and she
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: is now realizing, actually there's not can you name a
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: playmate of the month apart from like Pamela Anderson and
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: I think marily Monroe was one. But yeah, it's I'm
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: really into a surprise. And then the good thing is
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: because after you read it, if you go back and
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: watch the episodes, I know you won't. Yeah, but it's
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: the show is completely glorified. You don't get an inkling
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: into any of that stuff. So it is fascinating to
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: then go back and watch it on the lens of
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: having read all that stuff, and to be honest, that's
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: what I thought the book would be like that. It
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: was just a kind of oh, look at us, we're
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: pretty in and look at our outfits. But it is
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: actually it's a really interesting and very sad story actually
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: about these these young, young, impressionable women who are just
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: brought into this world with these promises and just yeah,
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: and how lonely it must have been for them. I'm
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: god smacked. I'll get you all my other recommendations. Okay,
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: have you read Slash's book No right from Guns n' Roses?
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: I know who's actually is interesting. Oh, you keep talking,
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: let's get it to say, more books. I bet you
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: uns out of stadt. No, you regulate in a doc
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: I did, And I read Andrea Agassi's book That was fascinating.
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: Have you read that? No? Yeah, read a book about Tennis? Well,
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: because it's not it's about the story in the background,
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: and they both hated Tennis hated it. It's fascinate anyway,
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: So I'm faring to the biographies and stuff people's love
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: stories made interesting.
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: I think the interesting thing about both Andrea Agas's book
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: and the Lana Dokic's book was the role of their
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: father's and the fact and I don't know about you, Catherine, like,
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: I am so whatever whatever you want to do, I'm
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: not going to push you with my kids because I
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: don't want them to write a book going My mum
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: was an asshology push me. And you know I do
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: say when people ask me, I'm like, I don't care
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: what they play. Oh won my World Cups. I do
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: need do not need my children to win World Cups.
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: And people go to be, ah, what a flex I'm like,
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: oh no, I'm not okay, it's a flex. Whatever. Yeah,
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: I won World Cups. I do not need my children
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: to win them for me.
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: No.
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: Do you know what I saw year's oldest ever gold
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: medalist Commonwealth Games gold medalist was a woman who wanted
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: gold medal in the bowls. I was like, oh, very,
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: I don't look any sport where you can drink a
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: beer and do it not that not that the people
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: at those level do it.
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: Like.
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: She was really super focused and superior. And I'm like, yeah,
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: it's just you know, idiots like me that would drink
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: a beer and bowl at the same time throw darts.
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: No, that's not an Olympic spot or commwalk game sport.
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: But Paul's got a good little circuit going on. Yeah, snooker.
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: I think they take it pretty seriously.
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: I think they do. It's not like you, me and Catherine,
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: where there's like, if you have a certain number of drinks,
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: there's like a sweet spot where oh yeah, your poor
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: ability and your drinks sort of really work together, and
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: then you have one more drinking and it's just fall down. Yeah. Yeah,
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: it's such how they do it professionally, Catherine.
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: I find my attention span Wayne's before I finish the
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: game of pool, Like I really like it in the beginning,
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: and then I'm like, for God's sake, can I just
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: can someone win this? Dame to what I'm taking from that,
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: I'm not very good.
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: Not y, you know, because you should play with Catherine's excellent?
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: Are you? Why are you? So?
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: We had a pool table growing up, which was the
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: greatest thing ever because if you were bored kids, No,
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: not a that's a great stage though.
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: Oh we had a ping pong table in the garage.
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: Oh so good see and could you play ping pong?
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: Still?
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: We did our parents were deleased. What's that God can.
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: Do with d What did you say, Carolyn?
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: I said, we did.
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: My parents were divorced. Just not half a pool table
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: and half a ping pong table.
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: Every second weekend I had a pool table. They were
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: so good though, because I would just play it by
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: myself all the time, like if I was born and
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: I just you know, it's a skill.
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: I would read a book.
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, a little bit the same.
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: So my kids, you know how we've got that really
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: long table at our place. And when we built our
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: house there was an old dead teach tree, I think,
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: and we cut the cut the tree down and we've
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: got it milled and we've turned into a massively long table.
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: As you both know, it can fit I don't know
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: ten or twelve people on it, but my kids have
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: turned it into a table tennis table. And do you remember, Catherine,
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: you guys bought me like a carved, beautiful carved sort
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: of going first Nation's art, and it's really long and
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: it's actually if you put it across the table, it
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: goes from one side. That's nice. It's poverty ping pong
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: because we don't have a ping pong table. But they've
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: turned the darting table into a table tennis. Fast forward
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: a few years, I'll be using it for beer pole.
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: I'm not bad at that.
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: Oh see, yeah, you've got to find you think. I
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: don't think I'll ever played bee pole? When can we
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: do that next? It's also not that fun, but you're drunk,
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: so it's like, oh, it's just fun. And what you
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: two should do is come down to my gym and
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: December every year we do the beer Mile. I've told
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: you no its haven't I No, I am. I am
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: the reigning champion this year. My name is on the
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: trophy three out or twice out of the three years
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: that we have been running it. So it's scarlet can
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: of beer and bolt is the prescribed choice. You have
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: to do that run four hundred meters. You do that
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: four times. So I'm how many people vomit when you
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: do that?
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: Oh?
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: Like quite a lot. Oh we didn't have as many
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: vomitters last year. But a lot of what happens is
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: a lot of twenty somethings come in and go, I'm
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: going to be great at this, and they're hopeless at it.
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: And in the middle aged people. So the gen x
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: is because of course these younger people are not drinking
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: as much as they eat as we did so, but
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: also because they're young, they go, I'll drink and then
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: I'll sprint. And the answer is, if you're ever going
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: to be a mild, drink fast, run slow. Now do
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: you know what you need to do this year? Off
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: the back of some inspiration we had earlier? This? Have
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: you there? Well, that would be a good start. But
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: do you beer and then do a burpie and a
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: squat jump or beer? Yeah?
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: No, there's a great. There's a great at the Bangalow show.
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: So this is why you live in the country. And
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: at the end of it, like you've got to do
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: a heap of things like that and you ride your
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: horse and drop things, but you have to skull a
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: can of warm beer as well. Yes, but I always
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: saw Catherine that, you know how we used to do
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: the beat test and you and I was sort of
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: you and I were sort of.
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: Mid to bad. There's no meat about where I was.
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: Okay, you were bad and I was mean. But I
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: always thought, you know, all these smart ass little mid
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: courts who you know, kill us on that make him
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: drink a bottle of champagne and do it in heels,
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: and they would there would be nowhere you and I
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: would have absolutely smashed it out of the ballpark. But
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: no one to do that. I don't know.
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: That's not a mid No, that's an age. I reckon.
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: That's they're all little, right. If you're little, you can't
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: drink some champagne and run. It's when you were a
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: big unit, you've got more. What is it?
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: Myself as as incorrect? Elizabeth only one at last year
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: because the woman who is an absolute weapon was not there.
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: So but I don't care. It's you. I beat all
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: the others. There was another woman who clearly thought she
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: was going to get me, and at about three laps
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: so after the third beer, I thought, no, I just
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: have to hang in here. I'm going to get her,
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: and she just could not finish her fourth beer. It
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: was you out the front the whole time. No, no, no, no,
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: she was. She was ahead of me and I just
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: had my yes and I can't let her get too
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: far away. I reckon, I'll be able to run her down.
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: Did she any one of the premature celebrations before the
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: lawn note? Wasn't that great? I love those clips? So
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: I sent a video around in our group chat after
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: lizard stuff, swearing about the game of athletes doing premature celebrations,
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: so you know, coming up to the line and then
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: sort of waving their hands and someone coming up and
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: just getting over, breaking the tape before them. So you
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: would replay that in your mind every night at two
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: am for eternity, yeap or eternity? Do you have menopause?
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: Is that why you're awake at anyway? Exactly so, and
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: so it's beautiful and if you've got anxiety, that's a
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: double win too. Isn't that good break? Anyway? So yeah, anyway, well,
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: I guess that's probably time for us to wrap. But
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: you know, we've all survived the first week post Commonwealth Games.
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: It's only what is it, two hundred and seven weeks
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: until the next Commonwealth Games? There or thereabouts were off
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: to India. But in how many days did I say?
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: Seventy two days from today we will be having Constellation Cups.
• 32:39

• 32:42
