  Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to No Dribble, the podcasts where we
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: talk about netball, but we talk about.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: So much more.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: Coming to you this week with two tin cans and
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: a piece of string because we can't weep the technology anymore.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: Last week was a circus. We had, we left, We're
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: all dispersed, and so I hadn't even bothered saying goodbye.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: I'm Carolyn Swindell.
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: I'm kath Cox. And today's the day, guys. The Christmas
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: tree is going up.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: It is not, it is not.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: We go.
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: We have to introduce our third person before you give
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: me crap.
• 0:35
  Speaker 4: Oh I lose Ellos and Catherine.
• 0:37
  Speaker 5: You can't put the Christmas tree up like in the
• 0:40
  Speaker 5: first half of November.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: I completely agree.
• 0:43
  Speaker 6: I can justify because we are away most of December,
• 0:48
  Speaker 6: second half of December, so I figure I still only
• 0:50
  Speaker 6: get a month if it goes up now, and I'm
• 0:53
  Speaker 6: not the first person to do it. My sister made
• 0:55
  Speaker 6: me put hers up for her on the weekend, so it's.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: A family problem.
• 0:58
  Speaker 6: Then, Oh, she's just lazy. She didn't want to do it,
• 1:00
  Speaker 6: so she took an opportunity whilst I was there, And
• 1:03
  Speaker 6: I figure, if it's happened I'm doing it. It's going up, ladies.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: I am completely outraged. I'm distracted because my tab I'm
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: tipping over here. We've got some new set stuff, and
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: that microphone's overbalancing. I nearly lost my coffee. But I've
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: not lost my mind. I'm not thinking, oh, this should
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: mean I put the Christmas tree. My daughter has started
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: her Christmas list, and as of this morning, there are
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: fifty items on right now. She has pointed out to me,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: we don't. She doesn't expect us to get all of them.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: It's good, darling, good.
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: How point present she will?
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: Oh, she will know we get to that.
• 1:36
  Speaker 6: My sister's already got that from my niece. The effort
• 1:39
  Speaker 6: that goes into it. And she sent the list to me.
• 1:43
  Speaker 6: Most things are over one hundred dollars.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: Oh okay, most of ours are SAR twenty.
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: But still fifty is rich.
• 1:49
  Speaker 5: So can you guys just shoot me through those lists.
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: My daughter is a bit hopeless.
• 1:53
  Speaker 5: She's a bit like, oh mom, I don't need much.
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: Oh my, that doesn't.
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: Help me, you know, but you don't want these lists?
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: Go with that? What does she want? Is there anything that?
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: She said?
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: Not much?
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: No, it's a skincare stuff, oh swaps.
• 2:06
  Speaker 5: My daughter, she's just very She's sort of got what
• 2:09
  Speaker 5: she wants. She's got a phone and she's got a
• 2:12
  Speaker 5: Cobo and she's very. Yeah, I don't need much, and
• 2:16
  Speaker 5: I'm trying to figure out what Santa might get her
• 2:18
  Speaker 5: so that I can sort of work with Santa to.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: Word Santa for stuff.
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 2:23
  Speaker 5: So you know, like there's a saying something they want something,
• 2:27
  Speaker 5: they need something to wear, something to read. So that's
• 2:29
  Speaker 5: sort of what I'm Yeah, so I've got the wear
• 2:32
  Speaker 5: and the reader easy.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: But if she's got a Cobo, do you get her
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: a physical book or do you get her a downline
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: for that?
• 2:39
  Speaker 5: Santa might still get her physical books because there's nothing
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: quite like a physical I agree.
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: What is a cobo?
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: A kindle?
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: Cobo?
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: It's like a Kindle.
• 2:48
  Speaker 5: It's like a version of a kind right, Kobo, So
• 2:51
  Speaker 5: you can get a Cobo or a Kindle. But anyway,
• 2:53
  Speaker 5: we went Kobo for her a few years ago for
• 2:56
  Speaker 5: a birthday and she loves it. You can sort of
• 2:58
  Speaker 5: pay fifteen bucks a month and she gets all the
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: unlimited books.
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: Mind you.
• 3:03
  Speaker 5: I sort of see some of the titles she downloads,
• 3:05
  Speaker 5: and I'm not quite sure about them. They're starting to
• 3:07
  Speaker 5: get into middle you know romance, Oh mid of Mills
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: and Boone, you reckon, Well, I don't know about Mills
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: and Boone. We have that teen romance, and so I'm like,
• 3:17
  Speaker 5: I just sort of checking with her occasionally, and she's
• 3:19
  Speaker 5: pretty mature, so I'm like, Okay, if there's anything you
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: don't understand, please come and speak to me about it.
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: I suggest drawing the line shades of gray.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: There's some pretty saucy stuff targeted at younger audiences now.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: That is something called like Icebreaker or something, and they're
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: college age characters and oh, they're getting up.
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: To it, and you're speaking from experience.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: I've read one of them. Maybe I'll get around this.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Maybe I'll write one of them.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: Can you pass it on to me.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: You'd have to borrow my kindle.
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: It's not a sports.
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: I have read fifty.
• 3:58
  Speaker 5: It's not about this, and I like college romances with
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: a little bit of hot, saucy sexts.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: It's interesting, though, because the front cover is sort of animated,
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: so I didn't expect it to be quite as saucy
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: as it was.
• 4:11
  Speaker 6: I've recently heard this the sci fi like sexy stuff
• 4:16
  Speaker 6: like the weird stuff is apparently in people, like unicorns
• 4:20
  Speaker 6: getting it on and stuff like that.
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: What have we missed?
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: I don't have so many questions.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: I have so many vine all the things that are
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: rainbow colored.
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: Anyway, Wow, how did we end up here?
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Elizabeth Willis brought us here?
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: Oh God?
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: So when do you have two? Put your tree up?
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: So we do it. We have a we have a
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: family tradition and we've always done this. When Haley and
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: Claire were quite little and we said, have Christmas with
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: your mum and we'll do Christmas on another day because
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: at that stage she was single and it's like, well,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: we're together, so it's like you'd be with her on
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: Christmas Day. I remember my mum being on her own
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: once on Christmas Day and it was.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: Very distressing for me.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so we've always said our tradition will start with
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: the first time we're together in December, we will put
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: our Christmas tree up and we'll eat ribs. And it's
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: still our tradition and it's one of my favorite days
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: of the year. And yeah, so it's a really nice one.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: So our tree will go up when we can all
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: get together. And Hailey's still in the UK until she
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: won't be back until February, so she won't be here
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: for that. But it'll be the first time in December
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: that we can get together with Claire and her partner
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: Tom and eat some ribs and drink some champagne and
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: put some Christmas carols on and wack up some dry wall.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: When does your tree go up, Liz?
• 5:46
  Speaker 5: Oh, look, we use a real tree, so you can't
• 5:48
  Speaker 5: put it up too early.
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: So we go.
• 5:51
  Speaker 5: We've got pine trees growing at the farm, so we
• 5:53
  Speaker 5: go and cut one down. I'm just looking at the calendar.
• 5:57
  Speaker 5: It'll probably be either two weeks or ten days before Christmas.
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: Christmas, that'll be perfect.
• 6:04
  Speaker 5: And how long it dies? How long do I leave
• 6:09
  Speaker 5: it up? Yeah, until it falls down, until I set
• 6:13
  Speaker 5: it on fire for bon finite. I pull it down
• 6:18
  Speaker 5: in that week between Christmas and New Year, around about
• 6:20
  Speaker 5: New Year's Day. But this year we're go to Tazzy
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: the day after Christmas, so I'm sure I'll be pulling
• 6:24
  Speaker 5: it down in February when it's all dead and dry.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, fair enough.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: What I find is that everyone wants to help put
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: the Christmas tree up. No bugger wants to help put
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: it away.
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: We had this conversation last year.
• 6:35
  Speaker 6: I remember because Liz was saying that I should go
• 6:37
  Speaker 6: into a business and go around a putting people's Christmas
• 6:40
  Speaker 6: trees up.
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: But then I think you could charge double to take
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: the bastards down.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: I think Christmas tree would give you hives. Because we
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: are all about collecting Christmas decorations from all of our
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: travels and things, so there's no it's chaos, chaos to
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: look at, but incredible jaw and beauty for me and
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: for the family. And every year when we get the
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: Christmas decorations out, it's like, oh, look at.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: This one, look at this one.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: And every year what I put them away, I sort
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: of think, what's life going to be like next year?
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: And Pete's dad died a couple of weeks ago. We've
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: got a Christmas decoration for all the grandparents and every
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: member of the family, and this will be the first
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: time that it's like when we put the decoration away
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: at the beginning of this year, and neck now when
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: we put it up, he won't be with us, and
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: it's like it's just sad, isn't it. But it's a
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: real sort of reminder of the passage of time and yeah,
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: I've just made it into a bummer, haven't I No?
• 7:36
  Speaker 6: Also what new ornamance aside from that, and that will
• 7:39
  Speaker 6: be very emotional, But so can.
• 7:41
  Speaker 5: I just say though, what we did when after my
• 7:44
  Speaker 5: dad passed away and this was years ago. He died
• 7:46
  Speaker 5: in two thousand and eight, we found a Christmas ornament
• 7:49
  Speaker 5: that you can put a photo in.
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: And my dad loved Christmas.
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: He had a really unhappy childhood and Christmas wasn't a thing.
• 7:57
  Speaker 5: And so when he met my mum, she's one of seven,
• 8:01
  Speaker 5: and they all get together on Christmas Day and he
• 8:03
  Speaker 5: couldn't believe. Like he went to the first Christmas Day
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: and there was so much love in the room, he
• 8:08
  Speaker 5: became really emotional and blew his mind. He couldn't And
• 8:11
  Speaker 5: so after that he just went really hard at Christmas.
• 8:15
  Speaker 5: Like his thing was taking us out when he had kids,
• 8:17
  Speaker 5: taking us both out to get the Christmas tray and loved.
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: Going buying ornaments.
• 8:21
  Speaker 5: So he was like really wanted to make sure that
• 8:24
  Speaker 5: his kids Christmases were nothing like his Christmas is as
• 8:28
  Speaker 5: a kid. So because he loved Christmas so much. When
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: my dad passed away and he died in sort of
• 8:32
  Speaker 5: November two thousand and eight, we went and found this
• 8:36
  Speaker 5: ornament and you could put a photo in it, and
• 8:39
  Speaker 5: we've got a photo of Dad and it was actually
• 8:41
  Speaker 5: taken after the Swiss one, our first ever Grand Final,
• 8:44
  Speaker 5: and he was so happy and he had had a
• 8:46
  Speaker 5: cannaber in his hand. So we look at him every
• 8:49
  Speaker 5: Christmas and he's got this big grin on his face
• 8:51
  Speaker 5: and the canna beer in his hand, and we always
• 8:53
  Speaker 5: give Ralphie a cheer and it's always It's nice for
• 8:55
  Speaker 5: the kids because they were born after he passed away
• 8:58
  Speaker 5: and it's nice for them to see him and they
• 9:00
  Speaker 5: know that Poppy Ralph love Christmas and Mary Chris there's
• 9:03
  Speaker 5: actually yeah, so it's actually really quite fun. It's a
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: really lovely way to remember him. And then at the
• 9:08
  Speaker 5: end of Christmas we put him away for the year
• 9:10
  Speaker 5: and then bring him out every Christmas.
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: Oh that's nice, that's really nice.
• 9:14
  Speaker 6: Well, you've been traveling a bit this year, so have
• 9:16
  Speaker 6: you bought more ornaments throughout this year?
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: So I'm not buying them from Idaho every time I
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: go Yesh with Dad. Well, we stop getting one from
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: New Zealand because my mum lives there, So it's like
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: unless we're going somewhere new in New Zealand as a
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: family holiday, so we don't just get one for going
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: to visit mum in Wellington, because we have a number
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: of New Zealand one. So I don't know what new
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: ones we've got to bring into play this year. I
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: know there are some floating around somewhere and now the
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: girls when they're traveling, Haile and Clear, when they're traveling,
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: they'll bring one back for us and it goes into
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: the mix and we have to work out who gets
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: these in the will.
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: Oh, that's true. You've got to break him up. Do
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: you know what I will have to do on the tree?
• 9:59
  Speaker 6: This h is get one of those particular photo frame
• 10:03
  Speaker 6: ornaments Elizabeth because Harper's father bought her a dog.
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: Ya don't even get me started.
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: What I have not read neither. Okay, we must unpack this.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: Just before we move off this though. It's the eleventh
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: of November and so far the entire episode has been
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: dedicated to Christmas.
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: You're an evil genius.
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: I can't even got through.
• 10:35
  Speaker 6: I know my child is how quite obsessed and there
• 10:39
  Speaker 6: was always the talk of when we can we'll get one.
• 10:42
  Speaker 6: She asked me twice a day every day and has
• 10:45
  Speaker 6: done for the last five years. And I always say,
• 10:48
  Speaker 6: we're just not here enough for a way too much
• 10:51
  Speaker 6: when we're finally sitting still for a minute.
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: Absolutely, because I'm just as dog obsessed.
• 10:56
  Speaker 6: Anyway, She's on the phone here the other day, chit
• 10:59
  Speaker 6: chatting away talking about dogs, and they will get one.
• 11:02
  Speaker 6: That same conversation's happening over at his house, and then
• 11:05
  Speaker 6: literally within half an hour rings back and.
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: Goes, I got one.
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: I'm like.
• 11:13
  Speaker 6: What, because, I mean, it's not gonna be at our house,
• 11:16
  Speaker 6: but it impacts us so much because obviously she's so
• 11:20
  Speaker 6: dog obsessed.
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: Is she gonna want to come back to our house ever? No,
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: I know it.
• 11:26
  Speaker 5: It's a photo on your Christmas tree, gonna be with
• 11:28
  Speaker 5: your daughter who used to have it.
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: No, it's gonna be me and tears correct, I know right.
• 11:34
  Speaker 6: The whole thing is just a nightmare. Anyway, she's all,
• 11:38
  Speaker 6: she's done. I haven't even got the freaking dog yet.
• 11:40
  Speaker 6: The dog doesn't come till the start of December. But
• 11:42
  Speaker 6: it is all the conversation twenty four to seven. What
• 11:46
  Speaker 6: we're gonna name it? And we've got to get this,
• 11:47
  Speaker 6: and we've got to get that, and it's stealing my
• 11:49
  Speaker 6: head in and it's not even he yet.
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: What sort of dog is there?
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: And that's the other thing, Elizabeth, it's one that molts.
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: Oh, this is just stare.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: It's a story.
• 12:03
  Speaker 6: Because I know that I'm going to cave as soon
• 12:05
  Speaker 6: as I see this dog. I will cave because I
• 12:08
  Speaker 6: love them. At the moment, I'm trying to stand firm
• 12:10
  Speaker 6: on it. It's not coming to ours. It's not my
• 12:12
  Speaker 6: problem to deal with, as much as I will love
• 12:14
  Speaker 6: this thing as much as she does. But then I
• 12:16
  Speaker 6: find out it's a cockerlear so cocka spaniel cavalier and
• 12:22
  Speaker 6: a cavalier Altz's ass off like at least by one
• 12:26
  Speaker 6: that doesn't follow.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: Then I have really long ears too, wouldn't it. But
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: those combination of that.
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: It looks, it looks very looks very cute.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: But that's just a world of Well, this will make
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: you feel slightly better, although it does make your position
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: a little bit more difficult. You've got to stand firm,
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: at least in the beginning. I reckon you have to
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: book dog kennels, boarding kennels more than a year in
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: advance now, so her father might not have facted in
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: how hard it's going to be to get this dog
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: looked after.
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: He has not thought about shiture.
• 12:57
  Speaker 6: I can assure you of that he thought about the
• 13:00
  Speaker 6: immense amount of love coming from his daughter in that
• 13:03
  Speaker 6: moment and for evermore, which I think has blindsided him understandably.
• 13:07
  Speaker 6: But no, I feel like this isn't going to end
• 13:10
  Speaker 6: up being a lot more my problem.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: This might become a weekly segment a Cup's therapy.
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: But a stupid dog.
• 13:18
  Speaker 5: I I just want to have the weekly segment of
• 13:21
  Speaker 5: how many times is Catherine vacuumed?
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: Don't laugh?
• 13:25
  Speaker 6: The first thing I did was get on Sheen and
• 13:27
  Speaker 6: order a dog meat that takes all them maltaun.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: I might want to borrow this dog periodically because we've
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: got a bush turkey trying to set up residents in
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: our yard, and God, they make a mess. They make
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: these giant mounds that they then have their filthy offspring in,
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: but they're protected. So if this thing decides that it
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: lives in our yard and it lays, there's nothing we
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: can do about it. So I'm just I am I'm
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: like that. Do you remember that movie Falling Down with
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: Michael Douglas where he just goes That's how I feel
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: with this bush turkey. And I'm out there every day
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: like John Rambo in the Chuckle, trying to make this life,
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: that this turkey's life unpleasant.
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: With a broom.
• 14:24
  Speaker 6: If you were carrying a bag of rat poison across
• 14:27
  Speaker 6: your yard that happened to be open at the bottom,
• 14:29
  Speaker 6: you unaware here's the.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: Thing it's wanting to nest in. It's sort of it's.
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: Building across encouraging that.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: By the way, the border of our front yard and
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: our neighbor's frontyard. If it was in our backyard, I
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: wouldn't mind, because we've got this bit right up at
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: the backyard no one goes into because it's like we've
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: just it's just fer all up there. We've not looked
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: after in a long time. There's no grass, it's quite wild.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: It's like, go up there, I build it, and I
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: don't don't. I'd quite like this thing to be able
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: to have its home somewhere, But it's like, can you
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: just not do went there?
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: Do you have the certain breed of mushroom in your backyard?
• 15:03
  Speaker 5: By chuck?
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: Should I offer it a beef Wellington?
• 15:12
  Speaker 5: Oh my goodness, we've got a We've got a beautiful
• 15:16
  Speaker 5: up until recently long haired border collie, and he is divine.
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: He's had his head, but a long.
• 15:22
  Speaker 5: Haired border Collie and a farm don't quite go. We've
• 15:26
  Speaker 5: got a few of those farmer's friends furs around, and
• 15:29
  Speaker 5: so he's fur over the month's PCP and we tried
• 15:32
  Speaker 5: to brush it out, but he's he runs in the
• 15:34
  Speaker 5: paddocks all day, right, and he's a dog, and so
• 15:36
  Speaker 5: his fur was just getting more and more matted.
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: So Matthew last week when I was away, took him and.
• 15:41
  Speaker 5: Got him shape essentially, and he sent me a photo
• 15:45
  Speaker 5: of this dog and he said, this.
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: Dog followed me home. Can I keep it?
• 15:47
  Speaker 5: And I went, oh, yeah, it'd be great to play
• 15:49
  Speaker 5: with Merlow and he went back and said it is
• 15:53
  Speaker 5: and I didn't recognize it.
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: Oh my god, what does he look like? Send me
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: a photo. Is he walking around covering his bits? Does
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: he feel naked?
• 16:04
  Speaker 5: He's actually so much happier because all the birds are
• 16:06
  Speaker 5: out of his first So we've just said to the
• 16:08
  Speaker 5: kids every day they just have to brush him because
• 16:11
  Speaker 5: he just picks up so much and you.
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: Can't stop him.
• 16:14
  Speaker 5: Like he's so happy because he's a dog, he's fit
• 16:17
  Speaker 5: and he's happy, and he rolls in cow poo and
• 16:21
  Speaker 5: licks cane toads or whatever dogs do to get high,
• 16:23
  Speaker 5: and runs through the paddis.
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: So we just have to we just have to do
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: a good cleaning routine at night.
• 16:30
  Speaker 6: Oh, you've given me a great But I attempted to
• 16:31
  Speaker 6: let him in the house. Well, well, my nextchine order,
• 16:35
  Speaker 6: there's going to be some clippers on there.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: I thought you were going to take the dog and
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: let it run around, going to then send it home
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: with the farmer's friends.
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: I was going to do and lick ad cane to better.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: I've told you this. Pete's got this friend from Uni
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: and his dad died and his mum was on her own.
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: He thought, I'm going to buy her a dog.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: And he thought, well, poodles are nice, the good sort
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: of indoor dogs. Did no research, just gone online and
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: went what sort of poodle? I just want a standard poodle.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: So he ordered a standard poodle and they are giant.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: He thought he was getting a little tidy poodle. She
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: lives in an apartment. This dog is the bane of
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: her existence. All of his siblings are filthy with him
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: because he's brought this hassle into life. I would have
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: that in a harp a standard pool, yes, because it
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: doesn't shed.
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but I just love them big, like big Teddy Bear.
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I like I like them. I cannot recommend
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: highly enough having a worm farm as pets, very useful,
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: low maintenance. I mean, they don't rush up, but they
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: don't sit on your lap while you're watching TV. They
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: don't rush up and say hello when you go up
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: and feed them. There is some you know, deficiencies there
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: in terms of the company.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: But oh they're easy.
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah, how easy.
• 17:51
  Speaker 5: Look the other thing that we've got which might not
• 17:53
  Speaker 5: work for you, Catherine, but I love them chooks and
• 17:56
  Speaker 5: our chooks. Yeah, our cooks will come and sit in
• 17:59
  Speaker 5: your lap and say hello.
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: And they're only twenty nine dollars a chalk.
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: Do they have life? And you get eggs, you get breakfast.
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: It's so good, so cheap.
• 18:07
  Speaker 5: Yeah, although my kids share out. We've got thirty chalks
• 18:10
  Speaker 5: and my kids share them and they sell the eggs.
• 18:12
  Speaker 5: That's how they get their pocket money. But just increasingly
• 18:15
  Speaker 5: lately they're sending me up to collect I'm gonna go
• 18:17
  Speaker 5: at the sporting and collect eggs and then I have
• 18:19
  Speaker 5: time Sundays, drive around with them to different places in
• 18:22
  Speaker 5: Ballinat delivering the eggs.
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: All I'm hearing is commission.
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: Do they give you fuel there?
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: No, they don't.
• 18:29
  Speaker 5: But if anyone ever pays me cash and my sister
• 18:31
  Speaker 5: pays me cash, I don't give it to them.
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: I'm like, this is mine.
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: They don't know what to do with cash when the kids, Oh,
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: I love that.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: So let me just segue while we're talking about animals
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: into foolish words, the most stupid words ever spoken. This
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: was mentioned in The Times. Else did RSPCA, chief Royal
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: Society for the Prevention of Crueltry to Animals, says he
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: was a scapegoat.
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: Do you know the etymology of escape goat?
• 19:00
  Speaker 5: No?
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: Escapegoat?
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: Awesome?
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: I love etymology, right.
• 19:03
  Speaker 5: My next podcast is going to be an etymology podcast
• 19:05
  Speaker 5: called word nerdes. But anyway, that's as far as I've
• 19:08
  Speaker 5: got excellent.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: I think that this is such a smooth segue that
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: it sounds like we had a rehearsal.
• 19:15
  Speaker 4: It does, doesn't it.
• 19:15
  Speaker 5: So the etymology for scapegoat is it comes from two
• 19:19
  Speaker 5: words escape goat and what used to happen and sometime
• 19:24
  Speaker 5: in ancient history or medieval England or something like. I'm
• 19:26
  Speaker 5: a bit vague on the history bit, but it was
• 19:28
  Speaker 5: many many moons ago before the interwebs. If someone did
• 19:32
  Speaker 5: something really wrong, they would either go and whisper it
• 19:35
  Speaker 5: in the goats here and then send the goat out,
• 19:37
  Speaker 5: and that was the escapegoat. It got rid of the
• 19:39
  Speaker 5: sin and then it went into the country. So that
• 19:42
  Speaker 5: was your escapegoat. Then someone becomes an escapegoat their escapegoat.
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: Oh, that's funny, there you go.
• 19:47
  Speaker 6: Have you seen the clips of baby I think it's
• 19:50
  Speaker 6: baby goats as a baby lambs.
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: When they get scared, they.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: Just fall faint.
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: They literally sideways. It's a piece.
• 19:58
  Speaker 5: It's outstanding. They are not scape goat.
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: There's like a There used to be something medieval times
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: called like a sin eater, and this person. People would
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: bake a cake and confess their sins into it, and
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: this person would then consume those sins and absolve the
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: person on that.
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: But then that person becomes guilty.
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: Well allegedly, but you know, you only have to deal
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: with that in the afterlife, and if you believe in
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: the afterlife, otherwise you've just got people giving you cake,
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: and your job is cake.
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm up for that.
• 20:28
  Speaker 6: Hey, Elizabeth, can you find out for me? What don't
• 20:31
  Speaker 6: carry on like a pork chop? Where that came?
• 20:33
  Speaker 5: Okay, I'm just I'm just I'm just looking at the
• 20:35
  Speaker 5: googles and actually scapegoat comes. So the story is right,
• 20:39
  Speaker 5: but I was trying to figure out where it comes from.
• 20:41
  Speaker 5: It's it's from a translation of the Hebrew Bible, and
• 20:45
  Speaker 5: it was a biblical thing. So the Biblical practice involved
• 20:49
  Speaker 5: symbolically placing the sins of the community onto one goat.
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah, poor gat.
• 20:54
  Speaker 5: Yeah, well, you know, if only he could talk there.
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: I'm sure there's plenty jokes. Can you imagine he's walking
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: around with all the secrets.
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: I know, I wish I could talk.
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: What's that joke? We won't repeat it here? One goat?
• 21:14
  Speaker 7: No, one goat, one lousy go anyway.
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: Okay, let's get off this.
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: So that you want given Liz a job to do.
• 21:38
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, because Dad actually said it the other day
• 21:42
  Speaker 6: and then he said, I wonder where that comes from.
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: That I don't know, but it's so here we go.
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: She's on do it already.
• 21:47
  Speaker 5: Yeah no, no, I'm gonna I've written it down and
• 21:49
  Speaker 5: I'm going to come back next next week's episode. See
• 21:52
  Speaker 5: my dream was to have an etymology podcast. And if
• 21:55
  Speaker 5: I can just do this, like just start to gradually
• 21:57
  Speaker 5: turn out Queen Mary around from a netball podcast to
• 22:00
  Speaker 5: an Aeddmollishy podcast, my work here is done.
• 22:03
  Speaker 6: All right, we'll send them in people, dribblers, if you've
• 22:06
  Speaker 6: got any random things you've heard. Liz wants the challenge
• 22:09
  Speaker 6: because she's got so much spare time. Speaking of which,
• 22:12
  Speaker 6: all I saw was your face on television last week?
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: How's the Olympic bid going? Because that was a big
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: push last week, wasn't it.
• 22:19
  Speaker 4: Oh it was. It was a big week.
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: So and we're coming up to crunch time on something
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: with that, are we It seems.
• 22:25
  Speaker 5: Early yes, So coming up to crunch time, we understand
• 22:28
  Speaker 5: that there may be a shortlist release for the Olympics,
• 22:31
  Speaker 5: perhaps sometime in December or January. So we just wanted
• 22:36
  Speaker 5: to make sure that the organizing committee got a good
• 22:39
  Speaker 5: sort of sense of the community support. So one of
• 22:41
  Speaker 5: the things that we launched last week was with the
• 22:43
  Speaker 5: Pharmacy Guild and they basically represent pharmacies across Australia and
• 22:47
  Speaker 5: community pharmacies, so they really saw the value in connecting
• 22:52
  Speaker 5: with netball, great communities for community pharmacies and you know
• 22:57
  Speaker 5: the gluco gel jellybean, yes, absolute, yeah, So the glucosey
• 23:02
  Speaker 5: ol jelly beans are now our big one of our
• 23:04
  Speaker 5: big partners, right, So when you go into a community pharmacy,
• 23:07
  Speaker 5: you'll see the back the bid QR COD on their
• 23:11
  Speaker 5: packaging and on their point of sale merch so you
• 23:13
  Speaker 5: can just scan it. And if you haven't already backed
• 23:16
  Speaker 5: the bid. And if you haven't backed the bid, what
• 23:17
  Speaker 5: do you even listen to this podcast for?
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: Because have you done it?
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: But yeah, can you do it multiple times?
• 23:24
  Speaker 5: I don't know, Maybe get all your email accounts out.
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: And do it. I don't know.
• 23:29
  Speaker 5: I haven't checked the fine print. But so we launched that.
• 23:33
  Speaker 5: So I went to their dinner on Wednesday night and
• 23:35
  Speaker 5: that was great. Actually I spoke out a conversation with
• 23:38
  Speaker 5: Matt Butler, the Minister for Health, and.
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: He walked in, he goes, what are you doing here?
• 23:43
  Speaker 5: I said, oh, I was looking for a conference for
• 23:45
  Speaker 5: tall people and I got lost and he laughed.
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: And then so I thought nothing of it.
• 23:50
  Speaker 5: And then I was telling him about the bid, the
• 23:52
  Speaker 5: Olympic bid, and he was like, is ne well not
• 23:55
  Speaker 5: an Olympic sport. And this is the thing that we're
• 23:56
  Speaker 5: sort of trying to combat, right because we've got this
• 23:58
  Speaker 5: polling done and forty percent people think that netball is
• 24:01
  Speaker 5: an Olympic sport. So the first thing we have to
• 24:03
  Speaker 5: do is educate people that were not and overcome that complacency.
• 24:06
  Speaker 5: So anyway, he got up in his speech which was
• 24:08
  Speaker 5: being recorded and which we have since put on LinkedIn
• 24:12
  Speaker 5: or the Netball Australia linked in with basically saying netball
• 24:15
  Speaker 5: should be in the Olympics. So anyway, that was great,
• 24:17
  Speaker 5: so got great support there. Then the next morning with
• 24:21
  Speaker 5: Gluca Joel, we went and just we did the Today
• 24:22
  Speaker 5: Show and then I just spent all day Wednesday doing
• 24:27
  Speaker 5: media and I had to go to Parlament House and
• 24:29
  Speaker 5: do some media stuff and I ran into my old
• 24:31
  Speaker 5: friends Alisa Kamplin and Steve Bradbury. Oh great, And the
• 24:35
  Speaker 5: last time I saw Steve, he and I actually drove
• 24:37
  Speaker 5: at the Grand prating at the celebrity race at the
• 24:39
  Speaker 5: Grand Prix, so it was so much fun to see him.
• 24:42
  Speaker 5: And they were launching the Winter Olympics uniforms Yes for
• 24:45
  Speaker 5: next year, Catherine, you would love it. I thought of
• 24:47
  Speaker 5: you straight away. They've got these beautiful snowy white knitted
• 24:51
  Speaker 5: jumpers and then beautiful white jackets, and I.
• 24:54
  Speaker 4: Was like, oh my god.
• 24:56
  Speaker 5: If I had that, I just couldn't eat spaghetti, drink coffee.
• 24:59
  Speaker 4: I would just.
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: Fear we're going to lose our water athletes in the
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: snow though where are they?
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: They're in camouflage.
• 25:09
  Speaker 6: There's been an avalanche exactly, So how long can we
• 25:17
  Speaker 6: continue to back the BIB?
• 25:18
  Speaker 5: So we've lodged our data pack to the organizing committee,
• 25:22
  Speaker 5: just going through the criteria and sort of addressing how
• 25:25
  Speaker 5: netball stacks up.
• 25:26
  Speaker 4: That's all been done, but.
• 25:28
  Speaker 5: The bid will continue because if we do get short listed,
• 25:30
  Speaker 5: we still want to we want to see how many
• 25:32
  Speaker 5: how many names we can get on that pledge list.
• 25:34
  Speaker 5: So you know, it's about one hundred bit over one
• 25:37
  Speaker 5: hundred thousand. Now it would be great, you know, if
• 25:39
  Speaker 5: we get shortlisted, to really sort of supercharge that. So yeah,
• 25:43
  Speaker 5: So it was funny. We had this big day, a
• 25:47
  Speaker 5: big couple of days in camera, and then the woman
• 25:48
  Speaker 5: who I'm working with, they sent me a message on
• 25:50
  Speaker 5: Friday afternoon and said.
• 25:52
  Speaker 4: Well done. You can have a wine and I said, no,
• 25:54
  Speaker 4: I can't because actually.
• 25:55
  Speaker 5: Then I started my day job, so I am c
• 25:57
  Speaker 5: to function on Friday night and camera for the Women
• 26:00
  Speaker 5: Lawyer's Association of the Act, which was absolutely fantastic.
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: Oh my god, that would have been an impressive rum.
• 26:05
  Speaker 4: So there you go.
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: So can I add was a really So the Brisbane
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: Olympic Games organizing Committee, so these are this is buying
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: large Australians on this organizing committee. So it's not it
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: doesn't go back to an international panel now, so we're
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: trying to convince hopefully a somewhat educated audience about the
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: existence of netball. What sort of timing before they make
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: that decision? Do we know anything? Do we have any
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: It's the Olympics, so there's probably no transparency, but is
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: there any like do we understand the process or yeah?
• 26:36
  Speaker 5: So we will lodge or we've lodged, and then they'll
• 26:39
  Speaker 5: decide on a short list. And we know that of
• 26:41
  Speaker 5: the thirty one recognized sports, twenty four a bidding, so
• 26:44
  Speaker 5: they've got to cut that list down. And then once
• 26:46
  Speaker 5: they have the short list, then if we make the
• 26:48
  Speaker 5: short list, they'll tell us what we need to do
• 26:51
  Speaker 5: next and so we'll just wait to find that out.
• 26:54
  Speaker 5: It is it's a largely an Australian sort of cohort
• 26:57
  Speaker 5: sitting within that on the board of the organizing committee.
• 27:00
  Speaker 5: So they're all well aware of netball, they all understand it,
• 27:03
  Speaker 5: but they've got they've got a lot of things that
• 27:05
  Speaker 5: got away out right.
• 27:06
  Speaker 4: So everything costs.
• 27:08
  Speaker 5: Money, and you've got to show that you're not going
• 27:10
  Speaker 5: to cost in fact, that you will be a profit
• 27:12
  Speaker 5: center rather than a cost center from one of a
• 27:14
  Speaker 5: better term. That's not their words, that's that's mine because
• 27:17
  Speaker 5: that's how I describe my husband, who's a profit center
• 27:21
  Speaker 5: a massive So yeah, we've got a sort of there's
• 27:27
  Speaker 5: a number of things that we have to address. It's
• 27:29
  Speaker 5: not just you can't just beat your chest and say
• 27:31
  Speaker 5: we're really popular, we deserve to be there. We really
• 27:33
  Speaker 5: do need to show what we what we will bring
• 27:35
  Speaker 5: to the Olympics. And you know that sits across a
• 27:38
  Speaker 5: number of areas. There's things like, you know, what you
• 27:40
  Speaker 5: bring commercially, what you bring from a community point of view,
• 27:43
  Speaker 5: what you bring from a legacy point of view. So
• 27:46
  Speaker 5: there's there's lots of areas to address. So look, I
• 27:49
  Speaker 5: think as you can appreciate that the people on that
• 27:52
  Speaker 5: committee are getting lobbied hard by all the different sports,
• 27:55
  Speaker 5: so we're just trying to walk the type rate to
• 27:57
  Speaker 5: make sure that we are respectful. I think that's a
• 28:00
  Speaker 5: thing you knowing about there beating your chest and making
• 28:02
  Speaker 5: them feel like you're putting them under a enormous amount
• 28:04
  Speaker 5: of pressure, but that we're putting our arguments forward really
• 28:07
  Speaker 5: well and making sure that it's backed up. So yeah,
• 28:10
  Speaker 5: there's and so you know, for our understanding, the Brisbane
• 28:13
  Speaker 5: Organizing Committee will make a recommendation to the AOC and
• 28:17
  Speaker 5: then if that's approved, then to the IOC. So there's
• 28:19
  Speaker 5: a few levels of decision making that have got to happen.
• 28:22
  Speaker 5: But the first part is for them to understand if
• 28:25
  Speaker 5: where the different sports fit, how do you fit them
• 28:28
  Speaker 5: in within your budget? How do you make sure that
• 28:30
  Speaker 5: you're not having to build massive amounts of infrastructure. You know,
• 28:33
  Speaker 5: we think that we're infrastructure light. You know, we don't
• 28:36
  Speaker 5: need extra stadiums and stuff built because a lot of
• 28:39
  Speaker 5: it already exists. So yeah, there's just lots of lots
• 28:42
  Speaker 5: of conversations going on. So it's fascinating. It's a really
• 28:45
  Speaker 5: interesting process to be involved in.
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: Can I ask it? I don't know if this is
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: a dumb question or not?
• 28:49
  Speaker 6: But does this give us longevity with the Olympics. Is
• 28:54
  Speaker 6: this only going to be Brisbane because it's an Australian
• 28:56
  Speaker 6: hosting Olympic city or is this then ongoing or does
• 28:59
  Speaker 6: this have to happen every Olympic Games?
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: How does that work?
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: I don't think that's a dumb question. By the way,
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: before we get the answer, and that's.
• 29:05
  Speaker 5: Not a nuther question. My understanding is that there are
• 29:08
  Speaker 5: twenty eight core sports that are in the Olympics every
• 29:12
  Speaker 5: single time.
• 29:12
  Speaker 4: There is no choice.
• 29:14
  Speaker 5: So we're bidding to become an additional sport, yep.
• 29:17
  Speaker 4: And once you're on.
• 29:19
  Speaker 5: The card, then you've got to keep bidding every every time. Right,
• 29:22
  Speaker 5: So surfing and bidding, cricket are in it for la,
• 29:26
  Speaker 5: but you have to assume that they'll be bidding. So
• 29:28
  Speaker 5: there's a number of sports who aren't core sports but
• 29:30
  Speaker 5: who have been the Olympics before. Baseball, softball, surfing, skateboarding, cricket.
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: Breakdown, break dancing, Yeah, that's the one that came to me.
• 29:39
  Speaker 4: Breakdancing, yep.
• 29:40
  Speaker 5: They'll be another one, sort of I'm sure, sort of
• 29:43
  Speaker 5: bidding as well.
• 29:44
  Speaker 4: And then once but once you're in.
• 29:46
  Speaker 5: That's the opportunity to show that what your value is,
• 29:49
  Speaker 5: and value is not just monetary value. It's assessed across
• 29:52
  Speaker 5: a number of different things. So look, once we're in,
• 29:55
  Speaker 5: if we're in, if we get in, then what you
• 29:57
  Speaker 5: would want to do is just to make sure that
• 29:59
  Speaker 5: you've got community galvanire so that the Olympics see what
• 30:02
  Speaker 5: a great sport you are both locally and globally, and
• 30:05
  Speaker 5: then that's your foot in the door for the next time.
• 30:07
  Speaker 5: So when we don't know where the Olympics after twenty
• 30:10
  Speaker 5: thirty two are, so it would depend on the host
• 30:12
  Speaker 5: nation for that as well.
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: Gotcha, And can I just address the gender balance issue?
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: There is a lot of confusion about this, Liz. My
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: understanding is, and if I'm asking you to comment outside
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: your expertise, h apologis my understanding is that the Olympics
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: wants to be gender balanced across the spectrum of sports.
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: It doesn't have to be that every single sport. That's
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: why we have some sports in there, like it used
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: to be called synchronized swiming. I can't remember what artistic
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: swimming I think it's called now. That's why we have
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: sports like that that are very female dominated. Because it
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: is about trying to create gender balance across the entire
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: Olympic spectrum, not on a sport by sport basis.
• 30:51
  Speaker 5: Yeah, so the gender ones really interesting because obviously there's
• 30:56
  Speaker 5: also a desire from the men's network community to be
• 31:00
  Speaker 5: involved as well. So we're just working through and understanding
• 31:02
  Speaker 5: what that looks like. And the interesting thing that netball
• 31:05
  Speaker 5: brings with gender is that when you think, look at
• 31:08
  Speaker 5: the Olympics, they've done a really good job of getting
• 31:10
  Speaker 5: equality of participants, the quality of athletes. I think they're
• 31:15
  Speaker 5: the last at least the last Olympics, maybe of the
• 31:17
  Speaker 5: last two Olympics, has been a roughly fifty to fifty
• 31:20
  Speaker 5: gender split.
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: First, yeah, oh, there you go.
• 31:23
  Speaker 5: And then but the moment you move up, or you
• 31:26
  Speaker 5: move along the leadership line, so you move to coaching,
• 31:30
  Speaker 5: that gender parody drops dramatically. So only one in ten
• 31:35
  Speaker 5: Olympic coaches of female, only three in ten Olympic match
• 31:38
  Speaker 5: officials of female.
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: So it's leaking with their zos all of the yeah,
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: sports doctors and things too.
• 31:45
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and then once you look at board representation as well.
• 31:50
  Speaker 4: You don't get that.
• 31:51
  Speaker 5: You don't get anywhere near a fifty to fifty Siplin.
• 31:53
  Speaker 5: So we think that netball has a really big role
• 31:57
  Speaker 5: to play in helping the Olympics move towards gender parody,
• 32:00
  Speaker 5: in coaching, officialdom board roles as well. So you know
• 32:06
  Speaker 5: that's something that we've really lent into as a sport
• 32:09
  Speaker 5: in our presentations that you know, we can actually help
• 32:12
  Speaker 5: move the Olympics along in those other areas as well.
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's very cool. Yes, I think forty of the
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: IOC Executive Committee is female. At the moment, we do
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: have our first female head of the IOC. I come
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: in what that Director General?
• 32:26
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Christi Coventry And you know she's African, right, so
• 32:30
  Speaker 5: she's quite familiar with netball, which is great. She was
• 32:33
  Speaker 5: at the twenty twenty three Netball World Cup in South Africa,
• 32:37
  Speaker 5: so she's so you know, the sport.
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: It's just forties.
• 32:40
  Speaker 5: It's like, oh my god, she's amazing.
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: Isn't it crediful?
• 32:44
  Speaker 5: Oh when we were growing up, right when Sydney was announced,
• 32:47
  Speaker 5: like it was one Antonio Samaran, do you remember that, Yes,
• 32:51
  Speaker 5: there was there was barely a woman.
• 32:52
  Speaker 4: To be seen.
• 32:53
  Speaker 5: And now like Christie Coventry is just amazing. So you know,
• 32:58
  Speaker 5: and we think Netbork can really sort of really bring
• 33:02
  Speaker 5: that to the Olympics. So there's a lot, lots lot
• 33:05
  Speaker 5: that's been done, but there is a lot left to do.
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: Well, that's very exciting. If you haven't done it, please
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: get behind back the bed, guys. Come on, let's get
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: netball into the Brisbane Olympics. I'd just like to talk
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: about another amazing woman whose achievements are not quite as
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: well known on the international possibly the national stage, but
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: Drid Blatt Joan Rolf. So you know, we've got this
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: thing that goes up every second Friday. Tell us what
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: you've done this week doesn't need to be netball related.

• 33:34

• 34:38
  Speaker 3: Can we do what?
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: Can you lock the mini bar well?
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: Or we could take the microphones to lunch with us.
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: That would be very good.
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: That would be fun, wouldn't that we're not doing it
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: she's shaking her head.
• 34:50
  Speaker 5: Or we do it before lunch and it's a fifteen
• 34:52
  Speaker 5: minute podcast, or we do it during lunch it's a
• 34:54
  Speaker 5: three hour podcast.
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: But so this isn't the one. The twenty fourth, No
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: Monday the twenty fourth is when You've got your Big Wheel.
• 35:04
  Speaker 3: That's the new South Wales Hall of Champion Hall of
• 35:07
  Speaker 3: Champion and Liz is being elevated to legend legend quite frankly,
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: can't believe it's taken this law.
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: But no.
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: The other one is a Sport Australia Hall of Fame and.
• 35:16
  Speaker 6: Liz will probably be elevated to legend in that too,
• 35:19
  Speaker 6: in some stage, i'd imagine.
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: But yes, it's very excited for Guisy.
• 35:22
  Speaker 6: I don't know where she sits on a number of
• 35:24
  Speaker 6: netballers in there already, but there's the likes of Jill McIntosh,
• 35:29
  Speaker 6: Vicky Wilson, Liz myself, Shiol McMahon.
• 35:33
  Speaker 5: Churelle micheone there. Yeah, Annie Sergeant is in there and
• 35:37
