  Speaker 1: You're listening to a DM podcast.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: We'll try to keep it as nice as we can,
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: but you might hear the occasional swear word in No
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: Dribble Don't Tell Mom. Hello, and welcome to the latest
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: edition of No Dribble, the podcast where we talk about netball,
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: but we talk about so much more, and the podcast
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: where this week the logistical exercise to get two people
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: in front of microphones has been herculean. I'm Carolyn Swindell.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: I'm back in Vancouver, about to hit the road in
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: a couple of hours to get home, and I'm joined by.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm Kath Cox and I'm in Sydney. I was
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: the easiest one to deal with this week.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, but we do have an empty microphone again
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: this week, don't we. Yes.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: The boss has been under the pump, to say the least,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: and trying to coordinate her and coordinate us was just
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: never going to happen this week. She will be back
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: next week. She was devastated from missing last week because
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: she was out playing with the cows and said it
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: fell out of her head.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: It was just an admin screw up last week, so
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: we didn't know that. And but yeah, so that's apologies
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: that we worried everyone about that, But yeah, she's fine.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: And this week, with all of the stuff with Whoopi
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: Goldberg and all of the other broadcast announcements and things,
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: I'm afraid that we've just had to slipped a little
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: bit down the priority list. But yeah, she's very apologetic
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: and we'll be back next week. But we're here.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: We could be Hollywood stars. We could be we just
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: haven't been given an opportunity.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I noticed at the Swifts game they were doing
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: the woop whoop thing. They really should have been doing
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: the whoopy whoopie thing, shouldn't they.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: That's funny because I posted something like that on socials.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: Can I get a woop woopie?
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: Like what you did?
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: That?
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: Very good? Who would play in movies? I'm just thinking,
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: so I reckon for me? It's Jeanine go flow. Have
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: you ever seen romy and Michelle's high school?
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, yes it is.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: I have the mooney Yeah, and I reckon. We're talking
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: to Charlie's they're on.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: For you'll take that? Oh pardon my friend. Yeah, I'll
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: just edit that one out of apologize.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: I've been so good with my swearing because I've spent
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: the last four days with dad's reunion buddies. So these
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: are the people he did his PhD with in the
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: late sixties early seventies. So they're all getting on and
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: I have not dropped an f all weekend. I have
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: been so good. I've been so delightful, looking like everyone's
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: favorite friend's daughter.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: And now how has it been though? How was the reunion?
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: Oh? It was great. Its look, it's a bit sad
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: because you know, these guys have we haven't seen these
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: guys in two years, and and there's for some of
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: them that two years has aged them quite a lot.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: And you know, I was talking to one of the
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: other daughters there. There were three daughters there now helped
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: to get their dads to these reunions, the Daughters of
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: Flurin we call ourselves, and just sort of they're just
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: one of them's lost her mum, and her mom had
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: dementia and then lost she lost her mum last year.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: And the other one's dad is not looking good. And
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: it's just it's just a tough time of life, isn't
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: it that. It's like you you know, I don't want
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: to make it all about us, but it's like we've
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: got kids to look after, the parents are getting older.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: There's just there's just it's a lot going on. A
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: lot of people carry a lot of burdens. Now, my
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: dad's great, my mom's great. We've just had mom's not
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: here at they're divorced. That would be really weird for
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: us all to be here together. But you know, I'm
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: not having to deal with that at the moment. But
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: it's it's close, and it's just it's just that. But
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: it's been a fantastic weekend. It's been so nice. And
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: you know, all these guys, as soon as they get together,
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: they drop thirty years. You know, they're just yes, yeah,
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: it's really good.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: But if they had time on the ground in the
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: US to do anything.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: I did have time on the ground to get to Walmart.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: So I have fulfilled the task that you that you said.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: I spent about two hours yesterday walking around Walmart just
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: looking at all the different stuff. And because it's Fourth
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: of July coming up soon too, there's a whole lot
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: of good Fourth of July stuff. But unfortunately I couldn't
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: bring it back one because I don't have suitcase space.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: But also I don't do Fourth of July, but some
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: really great hats that I put on Instagram.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: I was going to say there was looking, but there
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: was also trying. I saw some here. Oh yeah, ah
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: love it, but.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: No, so yeah, and it's a really beautiful little town, Moscow, Idaho,
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: And so we went for a great walk. And then
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: yesterday Dad and I were walking around the university in
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: the morning and we bumped into a group one of
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: those big marching bands and they've got the giant, big rigs,
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: so this looked like a Beyonce tour. They've got all
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: the massive rigs with all of the theming and whatever,
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: and they are the Santa Clara Vanguards. Of course I've
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: been doing investigation into and they're one of thirteen of
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: these competitive marching bands and they just they called it
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: a world series, but I'm sure they're all American. But
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: so we just went and hung out and watched those
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: guys do some practice for a little bit. Yees, so
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: you know, the drum major attell the button and all
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: the drummers and then the brass band and the flag waving.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: It was really cool. So they said, oh, come to
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: our show on Friday. So I'm very happily back home
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: by Friday.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: I love those guys because they often end up in
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: the bloopers, like on the footy fields and stuff because
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: players run into them or up they're just in the
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: way of the action.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: Just walking but really athletic stuff though, Like it was
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: amazing to watch these guys like they are, like they're
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: great athletic performers as well as so as well as
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: playing a musical instrument, you've got to be doing all
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: of that. You've got to carry that musical instrument and
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: walk around and regulate your breath and then all of
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: the other you know, the dancing is obviously quite dynamic
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: and exciting too, so that was it was just it
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: was fun to see that. And we went for a
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: wander through town where mum and dad bought a house
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: and that it was the first house that I lived
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: in as a little kid. Yeah, and the lady came
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: out the front and said to Dad do you want
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: to come in? And he said, look, I won't. Thanks,
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: but it was really it was very sweet.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: So that's very nice of them to do that, because
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: I would love that. How O were you when you
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: left there? Did you remember that at all?
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: I have no recollection of it. At all, Like we
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: moved to Australia before. I was two and a half
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: when I moved to Australia, so I have no recollections.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: My brother does, so, oh.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: My, that's so cool.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah it was nice, but I was so excited that
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: I reckon, thank you. I'm excited to be home. I
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: discovered something in Vancouver that I think you're going to like.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: It is another type of coffee. We talked about the
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: Magic coffee that I learnt about in Melbourne a couple
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: of months ago. Someone I heard someone ordering a Spanish latte.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: Have you heard of this?
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: No? But has it got chili in it or something?
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: It does not. It does have though condensed milk.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: Now that's Vitnamese coffee as well.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: Well yeah, I think it is. So it's half milk
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: half half condensed milk. But maybe in the northern Hemmers, well,
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: Vietnam is in the northern Hemisphere. I don't know. Maybe
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: in North America they have to have a different name
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: for it.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: I don't know that I would try. I would definitely
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: try it. That's a lie, that's not something you'd commit
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: to because I could imagine that would be did you
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: try it? Is it super sweet.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: No I didn't try it. No, I don't. Yeah, I'm
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: not a condensed milk fan, but there was When I
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: heard condensed milk, there was one person I thought.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: Of, Yeah, thank you, I appreciate that. Can I what's
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: it called? Spanish?
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: Spanish lattes?
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: Spanish latte? Hold the and the milk?
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: Yes. I wonder what would happen if you tried to
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: order it in Sydney though, where the people would look
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: askance at you.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Highly likely like they do every other day.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: But you you've been traveling too, I have.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: I had two games in Queensland, which was delightful because
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: the fan BAM's up there, so I always go up
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: a little bit earlier if I can spend some time
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: with the folks. Took Dad out on the boat and
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: had a lovely day. Went to the prawn Traller got
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: some fresh prawns off the trawler in Queensland. What kind
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: of life is that? I was delightful, And then drove
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: up to the Sunny Coast for the first game up there,
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: which now I can't remember the lightning and the vixen's
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: yep that was, And then back to Bosbourne for the
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: lowest game of the Round. Yes, so it was a
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: big weekend. It was good fun because I got to
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: catch up with people and had dinner with Megan Anderson
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: and stuff afterwards.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: It was great. But the games fantastic, incredible, so exciting,
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: and I was able to catch a number of them.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: I caught the back end of the of the Fever
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: Thunderbirds game because I had to get up at three
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: point thirty to get it at International Flight, So that
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: was good. And I've watched the Swifts and Giants game,
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: which was great, and I've watched the Lightning Vixens. I
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: haven't watched the MAVs and the and the Firebirds game
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: because I got cross at both of them. So, like Maps,
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: I'd been tipping you for weeks and you gave me nothing. Firebirds,
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: I needed you to step up for me. So I
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: did get round right, No, I don't want't.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: Did many people?
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: Yes? One hundred and forty two people got banking go
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: this week?
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: Okay?
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: Got zero? Oh?
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: Really? Okay? Yeah that's tough, isn't it to be honest,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: I'm not even watching anymore. I know it's not pretty,
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: but that Firebirds t Birds game, God, how good was that? Still?
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: Even at three quarter times. Yeah, what do I say?
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: You said, five birds? You're human like the rest of us, Catherine.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: It makes us feel makes us feel better.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: But it's funny though, because that game was on a
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: Friday night, and Gordy said it was a real quite
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: a different atmosphere because it was a Friday night. It
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: was party mode.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah great, which I thought, so.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: Cool, isn't it? And we used to play on a
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: Friday night and I do remember loving that because not
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: only is it Friday night, and then you get to
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: go out and have a bit of a party time
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: yourself with your team, knowing you've got no commitments on
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: the weekend, but you've also got no commitments on the weekend.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so good.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: So it was great to see that over there. And
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: she said that the crowd just was different, vible together.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: It was unreal.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: The Tea Birds tried to ruin that party though, didn't they.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: That was amazing.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: So good.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: Okay, so we really do need to talk about this
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: as time management, don't you think.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: Liz Ellis's Yeah, yeah, I mean last week was a
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: bit of a disaster. But as she did say, because
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: we changed the time and it fell out of her
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: head like it wasn't written now, Dara, and she forgot
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: and she was playing with cows. I don't know why
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: the cows get more attention than nas these days, but
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: that's fine.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: Well, we change the time because of me. So we
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: do this every week at twelve o'clock on a Monday.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: It's a fairly rigid routine, except if someone has to
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: travel or whatever else. But she just went, am I.
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: But we had quite a lot of people on the
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: Facebook page going is she all right? Is she fine?
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: Because of course you and I were clueless through the
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: whole episode. And then quite soon thereafter she rang back
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: and went, oh, yep, sorry, my bad, just completely forgot.
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: But yeah, this week's legitimate means. But she's promised that
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: she'll be here next week.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: She has, so we better keep it at a normal
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: time next week. But she got She so busy because
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: there's lots going on at the moment. How good was
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: the Whoopee girl make announcement?
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: It's so exciting, isn't it so? But there's actually there's
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: been too broadcast announcements this week, hasn't it.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so the way the Whoopee one came about though,
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: So she owns or is part owner of the All
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: Women and Sports networks. So awsn they totally it's such
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: such a good movie. Anyway, So apparently they had seen
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: their team had seen netball on social media and they
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: were the ones that reached out and contacted Netball Australia.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: And then Stacy West was heard saying that the first
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: few minutes of the conversation was trying to distinguish basketball
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: from netball for the Americans and then it kind of
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: went from there. But I mean, how good that it's
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: now available in sixty five countries, like over two billion
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: people have access to now watch the netball. They going
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: to love it because it's totally, totally and apparently.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: It's not four hours, you know, it's like it's a
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: really accessible, digestible product.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and the big push is now to get Whoopy
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: to the Gold to the Gold to the Grand Final
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: in Melbourne?
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: What this year?
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: This year?
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: How good would that be?
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: I know, I can't imagine a massive superstarle like I
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: is getting on a fifteen hour light to come and
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: watch one hour of netball, But we can all cross
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: our fingers and hope that that's going to happen.
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: But you know, maybe a test or something. At some
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: stage she might be able to weave it in with
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: a one hour stand up show supported by a young
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: up and coming not so young up.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I was going to say young.
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: In terms of career young. Okay, totally well, and you've
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: got to remember I've just spent the weekend with eighty
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: four year olds, so man, I'm young, fresh faced, gorgeous.
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: Look at you with all your energy and your usefulness, so.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: True with your top on that you've got your guns
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: out too, I can.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: It's been cold. It's meant to be cold. It's meant
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: to be hot, and it was hot the week before
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: we got there, and it started to get hot today
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: and we'll be hot for the next week. But we
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: had a cold weekend, so some of the people who
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: were there had to go to Walmart to buy some
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: warm clothes because they just come for the weekend and
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: it's usually stinking hot.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: When you say cold, what's cold.
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: Tender Grace?
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: Oh god, really?
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I could have had this at home.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's actually been quite nicey. It was beautiful Queensland.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: I packed a massive suitcase with jumpers and jeans and
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: just taking Sydneys weather up there. But it didn't use.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: One of them was magic. But anyway, back to whoopee
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: just quickly. Of course, the good thing about this is
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: that we now look far more global in terms of
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: our reach, which is a good thing for our Olympic push. Yes, yes,
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: so hopefully that is all working out.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: Did I also see Nagota? Remember I've been in the
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: US and no one I have had a lot of
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: comp I've had to try to describe what netball is
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: a number of times in the last week, which makes
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: me sad. But so we're not getting a lot of news.
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: But there's a change. Are We're having World Cups every
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: two years now?
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: Yes, so after twenty twenty seven it will be every
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: two years after that, which will be interesting. I wasn't
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: entirely sure how I felt about that at the time.
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: I'm not entirely sure how I feel about it either.
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: I love the specialness of it, this four year cycle,
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: you know, like the Olympics, the Soccer World Cup, the
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: Rugby World Cup. These are all four year things and
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: that makes them so special. So I'm sure that smarter
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: nepule brains than mine have got good logic behind it.
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: But I heard that moment. Oh okay, it's just like
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: a decent test series then every two years. Yeah.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: Look, I think one of the things is that the
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: Commonwealth Games I think has proven this year, well the
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: last couple of years around the discussion is quite fragile.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: That might not be there forever, which means we only
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: have one major tournament to play in. So in that regard,
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: I think it would be good. But it's also you know,
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: in terms of offering for future broadcast deals or for
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: for this network now that we're a part of. It's
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: just it's more viewership, isn't it. There's more things to
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: look at, there's more things to get excited about, and
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: more ways to market the game. So I mean that
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: I understand, But yeah, it does lose a little bit
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: of its shine, doesn't it make.
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: Can you hear what's going on in that? I can hear? Yeah,
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: So I'm I am Now, I'm in I'm in Vancouver
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: Airport and there's a Fairmont Hotel here. It's fantastic, Like
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: you just it's like straight out over oh god exception that. Yeah,
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: if we stayed here the night before our flight and
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: I went to the gym and it's great look out
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: over it's kind of cool to just look out to
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: working airport. But I'm upstairs in there for you, which
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: was very quiet. And then when I sat down, and
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: then immediately and large families come and started playing cards
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: near me. It's like, that's fine, it's a public space.
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: But now like there's a band going.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: What time of day is it?
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: Oh, my great planning, I don't know what time is it.
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: It's ten to eight, so it's a perfectly reasonable hour
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: for a band to be playing. And I thought, oh,
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: we'll go, We'll go up stairs. Because of course, trying
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: to find somewhere in an airport and the flight that
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: I've come in on from Seattle was delayed, I would
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: have hoped to get through and get into the Air
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: Canada lounge and have a glass of wine in my hand.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: But I thought, oh, very clever, I'll go upstairs to
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: that very quiet hotel lobby and here we are, so
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: apologies if that's blasting away, and the magran's quite pleasant.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: Get amongst it, Go to the bar yourself a drink.
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: Well, I've sent Dad to the bar, so.
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: Stay there for half an hour.
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: Dad, I'm busy, Yeah, I've got to I've just got
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: to go and chat with my mates. One of the things.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: And I don't know whether you find this when you
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: come to North America. I'm in a constant state of
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: tension about tipping because I just don't know.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: But anymore, anyone who.
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: Has cash anymore, that's right. So I had to get
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: some cash when we're in the US, and we weren't
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: in the US for long, we were mostly in Canada.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: I went and got some cash because I know it's
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: still a much more cash society. But then I've got
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: a couple of twenty dollars eights, so I don't want
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: to give someone at twenty. So you know, whenever you
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: have a meal or whatever, you can just put it
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: on the bill and round it up. But it's like,
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: where do you tip for Like if you go to
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: a counter and order a coffee and then it's like
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: it'll be over there, and then it comes up on
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: the card and do you want to leave a tip?
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: And it's like, well, I don't really because I don't.
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: I don't feel like that's a tipping transaction. But also
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: you've just heard my Australian accent, and I know that
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: we have a reputation as being lousy tippers, So I
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: don't want to be buying into that, but it's just
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: a constant state of stress and not helped by the
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: fact that a war started again. So I don't want
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: to make light of that. But it's like I really
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: wish I was home Ministralia right now.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: But yeah, no, I hear. On the tipping thing, that's confusing.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: Do they not do it in Canada as much?
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: They do? They do tip in Canada, but it's much
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: less cash, so it was much more on the tap
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: and go things. Then you don't have to be handing
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: around bits of cash.
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, get out of there, Get out of it at home, Get.
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: Out of there. I'm on my way home. I will
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: be home. I will be home very soon. And we've
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: got another awesome round of netball to talk about. But
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: I just want to talk about the tipping this week
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: because things are getting hot in the tipping comp We
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: no longer have one person sitting in the league quidditch, Yes, yes,
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: now sits with Taylor, Crayfish and Fascinator. All three of
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: them are on forty two points. Then we have three
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: people on forty one points and six people on forty points.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: So it's getting lord super exciting. So the two two
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: who've now joined. I prefer Quidditch in first place. Both
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: tip perfect rounds this week, and I prefer Quiditch. I
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: need tip three, which is a perfectly acceptable tipping score
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: for this round. I'll have to say, yeah, but that's
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: that's coming in hard, and of course I have to
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: do the Melle update. Melle is still sitting in front
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: of five hundred and fifty first scored one point this
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: week and is sitting on fifteen points. The next clostest
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: person is sitting on nineteen points. So if we had
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: a tipping comp about who was going to come last
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: in the tipping comp, I would be putting it all
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: on Melly to bring home the golden turkey.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: But it's hard to tip at the top though. Isn't
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: that far out heading towards the pointy end of the
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: season and bringing out their best game like the needy
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: teams are well done, team I thought I'd slipped. I
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: did have a quick look and saw that I'd slipped
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: down the list considerable.
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: You are in twenty sixth place, so it's still looking
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: like you'll be buying lunch for the rest of us.
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: So that's great.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: I'll be buying lunch. Is that.
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: How wasn't it run on the way? I'm sure that's
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: what we said. Well, so we need to talk about
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: the bylaws on this, because of course obviously that's le'z.
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: Gordy's sitting at three hundred and sixty first on the
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: same score as me, and I'm three hundred and seventy fifth.
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: I can't remember what we're on, twenty seven points or
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: something quite meager. And then Liz is somewhere way down
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: the back. But of course, as the chair of NEPAUL Australia,
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: she didn't want to be seen to be being partial,
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: so she's just gone with the home games and that's
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: not doing particularly well. So I don't know. I don't
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: know what we do about this lunch. It's bloody looking
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: like me again, isn't it.
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: Gordy's going to have to fly a butt over to
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: the East coast and contubute. I think though, by the
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: sound of this, it's between you two, okay either way.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: I'll starting out the five star Michelin restaurants.
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: Well, there's a nice one here with a band on
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: Monday night.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: We'll come to you. I can't afford the tips yet.
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: We don't know what we're doing this is the thing,
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: you know, with the tips, and then you're trying to
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: cross the road and you're looking the wrong way. It's like,
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: oh god, they're coming to the other direction. Like all
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: your instincts are wrong in North America.
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, like you think it's a good idea to have
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: a Starbucks.
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I have not had a Starbuck. I have had
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: some very good flat white coffee. So that is a
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: great leap forward from the last time I was here
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: two years ago.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: Okay, goodbye. Yeah, but on the least, I just actually
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: booked flights to Dubai a little bit later in the year,
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: going with Meghan Anderson, which will be great fun, a
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: little bit of a girl's troop. But then as you
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: say this, you know, this wall is broken out. And
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: I noticed today they stopped flights from Doha in and
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: out of Doha.
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: It's I think now, but yeah, where are you going?
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: Months in September not overly long away, but I'm looking
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: forward to I want to go into the desert and
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: do the classic you know, camel Ryde and yes, a
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: little bit of shopping just whatever. We're actually staying with
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: a netballer that we used to play with, who's been
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: over there for at least ten years. Norell Garbet used
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: to play with the kestrels, and Megan and I talked
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: about of ages that we want to get over there
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: while she's still there, because you're to have someone on
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: the ground that knows the place.
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: Have you ever been there?
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: No? I haven't eat and out for you know, at
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: airports and stuff, but not.
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: It is a crazy place. It's it's absurd. It's like
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: this should not exist. It's it's just it's this huge
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: city in this very hostile place. But if you get
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: a chance, and I know you're not, you're not taking
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: this is a kid free trip on. Yeah, there's an
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: awesome water park in Dubai that I would be happy
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: to go back to time and time again.
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: At that Atlantis Is it.
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: Atlantis the Palm? Yeah, right right next to that.
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: Well, we're staying at the Palm, which is great, but
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: you have to go.
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: It's so fun. It's really it's Ordinarily I would say
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: don't go to a water park if you don't have kids,
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: but it's really good. I love this one called the
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: Leap of Faith I think it's called. And it's near
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: vertical and I'm terrified at times, and so I just
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: I charge up there. We were there in winter, which
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: was still quite warm, but meant there was no one there.
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: And I charged up, and I wasn't looking out to
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: the sides, because you know, you can see out there
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: open stairwells, you can see outside, So just looking at
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: the stairs, I went straight up and I got up there.
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: I thought, I've got to go straight on. And then
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: there's these two girls going and one going, oh you go,
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: no you go, and I'm like, I get out of
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: my way, and they went, do you want to go
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: to it?
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: Yes?
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: I do. So I got up there and I sort
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: of sat in the position and the young woman who
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: was running and said, do you want me to give
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: you a sharp and I said yes please. So you
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: have to cross your arms over your body and cross
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: your feet at the ankles and it drops. It's a
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: near vertical thing, and then you end up shooting through
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: a shark tank. I mean you're in a perspects tube,
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: so there's no sharks in the same pit of water
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: with you, and it's all over, you know, obviously very briefly.
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: And I got to the bottom and I sort of
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: feeling pretty good.
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: And closes out of my ars.
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, well, and you know I was breastfeeding at
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: this stage, so I'm all sorts of mess at this stage.
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: But I got out and I said to the guy,
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: was that fine? And I said yeah, I said, did
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: I screamed? I said, oh, yes, madam, very loud.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: Those things freak me out though, because do you feel
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: like the top of you is going to lean forward
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: and you're going to overshoot the rum way when you
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: go because it's not vertical, right.
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: But it's not actually vertical, it's just not enough of
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: an angle. Have you been to questera con in Sydney
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: in Candra No, So that's great too. And they've got
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: this little thing there that you do and it's a
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: dead hang, so you have to put these overalls on
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: because it's a like a stainless steel slide and it's
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: almost vertical, but then it just catches you. So you
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: get this. It's all free fall, I think. So you
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: hop off the thing and you hang on the bar
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: and then you let go and you slide down and
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: you feel like you've got free fall just for a
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: fraction of a second, and then the curve of it
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: catches you. It's very it's very fun. It's such a
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: strange feeling to go. I'm seeking this feeling of falling,
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: which you know as someone who's scared of heights, that's
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: the thing I'm most scared of. But then I go
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: and do stuff like that and go, oh it's fun.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: I would never get on that ride. Liz did the
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: same one when we went to Wet and Wild or
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: whatever it's called in Queensland together, that vertical one year
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: get in the perspects box just away.
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: I've just remembered the roller coasters that you're willing to go.
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: I was getting surprised then that you wouldn't do that.
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: I'm much braver in the water parks than I am
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: on the on the normal water. I don't know, maybe
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: just because.
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: You know there's a soft landing coming in the water.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: It's the sharks. Okay, I'll put that on the list,
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: but I'll be going in the Lazy River and the
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: nice cruisy one.
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Look, I don't know if water parks aren't everyone's
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: cup of tea, but I think if you get the
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: right one and it's not super crowded, they could be
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: a lot of fun and a lot of fun. If
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: you're not doing it with kids, and you can just go, well,
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: let's just do this one, let's do this one, let's
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: do that one. Yeah, I have to go to the
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: toilet all for it.
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: I'm excited. The only problem is I booked the flights
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: and I did it via the Quantus app, and I
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: thought I'll just upgrade using all my points later on.
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: But they booked me on an Emirates flight. So when
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: I went to upgrade, they said, no, no, you can't
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: upgrade because it's a code share airline, which means I'm
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: now an economy for fourteen hours. So the next thing
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: I did was go and buy one of those wrap
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: around neck pillows. It looks like you're in the middle
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: of a lawsuit, you know those neck braces.
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, the turtle, but it's like a turdle.
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: No, it's called a fly hugs or something or other.
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yep, but it's full velcrow round jipeck. I thought,
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: if I'm sitting in economy for fourteen hours, this is
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: going to be my new best friend. I'm going to
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: get right.
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: I'm anticipating a happy ending for you here. First of all,
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: I hear Emirates' economy is pretty good anyway, But okay,
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I just I just feel like for
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: Catherine Cox, the stars will align and some some upgrade
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: might happen.
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: I've tried it on your own, yeap, traveling on my
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: own to get there because she Megan's going out of Queensland,
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: so that's okay.
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: I'll put on pants too, your fourteen hours on your own, like, yeah, it's.
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: A bit over my own company within a couple I.
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: Tell you what I didn't like. On the way over,
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: and because because Dads asked me to come with him,
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: Dad brought us business class, which is so good now
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: you can get Wi Fi on the plane. So as
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: you know, I was able to do quite a bit
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: of work, which was good. But then I watched a
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: movie and I had a few wines, and then did
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: I send you and Lise emotional messages about this movie
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: that you have to watch that had moved me so
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: much and that I was so I can't even remember
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: what the bloody thing was now, but I remember at
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: the time going, I have to tell everyone about this movie.
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: It's so beautiful. I can't remember.
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: But that's what you get. That's the problem with business
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: class isn't it. Because as much as you think.
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: I don't show business class, oh.
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: No, But like you think you should make the most
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: of the ability to sleep and lie down, but I
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: also want to make the most of the free flowing
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: champagne and all the great food, and to stay up
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: and eat all the food and play with all the gadgets.
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: I was working for the Northern Territory government in the nineties,
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: and I was working for a minister there and we
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: had to fly to He was a Minister of Asian Relations,
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: Trade and Industry, and we had meetings one day in
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: seeing a Or and then the next day in Japan.
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: So they booked us. They booked us first class, which
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: is not it's probably more like what business class is now.
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: It's not it's not like these sweets or anything. But
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: the whole idea was, we'll send you on this business
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: first class so you can get a decent nightset. Not
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: one wink of sleep did I get? It's like this
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: because the first first time for me up the front
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: of the plane, it's like, would I like don Peranion
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: or would I like crue?
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: Well?
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: Would I have both? Yeah? And would you like to
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: try this? Would you like, would you like something else
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: from the snack menu now that you've just had this?
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: And not yes, I would? I want that.
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: I want that you And do you do what I
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: do and fill your bag with all the amenities and
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: everything you can get your hands on.
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: They're just getting They're just they're just getting a little
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: bit misily with that. Now. I'm trying to I'm trying
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: to scroll back and see if I can remember the
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: name of this movie. But my god, it's called Spoiler
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: Alert and it starts Jim Parsons, who was Sheldon in
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: The Big Bang Theory.
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: And I'm not sure I could watch him in another movie.
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: Oh it's so beautiful. It's a gay love story. It's
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: just it's so it's so gorgeous. Anyway, well worth it,
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: but it's just funny. You know, you get on a plane,
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: you've got altitude and alcohol, and your emotions just go
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: out the window. So Pete and I were flying to
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: Canns years ago and we were sitting this is Before Kids,
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: and we watched r V, you know, the Robin Williams movie.
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: Were here going, Yeah, you were crying in that chat.
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: You know a few I didn't have children, and I
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: was going on holiday, so that's why.
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: You were crying.
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: You talk about this round?
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: Yes, can I do a quick shout out before we
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: do that to.
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: Kim Irvin Ashes Mom Ashes mum ye. So on the weekend,
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: an't you.
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: No, I'm not well? No, because she's She's made me
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: feel a little bit better about a massive that I
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: made on the weekend. So the Sunshine Coast Lighting brought
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: in a Scottish thistle to replace Caracan. So you know
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: moonboot Gate and Cara Kane when she had crutches this weekend,
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: it's escalated. It's bad. I don't really she'll play the
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: end of the season looking at that anyway, So they
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: bring in this six foot six goal shooter from Scotland
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: apparently was on the ground already playing in the Premier League. Anyway,
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: they shot to Emma Barry's her name. They shot to
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: Emma on the bench. She's the twin of Ash, the
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: absolute twins. So they shot to her and I was like, oh,
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: ash Irvan, you know, sitting on the bench she's been
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: And then I looked on the court and Ashes on
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: the court and Kia bumps me and goes, no, that's
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: Emma Barry and I'm like, oh my lord. Anyway, Ki
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: Kim got in touch with me and said, don't worry.
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: We laugh when you heard what you'd said. But we
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: have been fooled by her as well. Yes exactly. I
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: was like, if you care for your mom, then I'm
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: off the hook.
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: That's not bad to have two Ashurban lookalikes in your
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: team at the same time. I mean, it wasn't enough
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: for them, but you know that's that's that's an embarrassment
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: of riches there.
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: I know half their life.
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: That's so funny. So I thought, because I'm an idiot,
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: when you said she's the twin of Ashurban, so you know,
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: we've got all these buddy sisters, the Cransburgs, Yes, and
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: the hinchcliff side in realize there were two of them.
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: I just thought it was the same person I was
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: looking at all the time in different positions. So when
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: you said she's the twin of Ashurban, Oh, okay, she
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: must be a Shurban's twin sister.
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: No, she's legitimately looking twin. It's crazy.
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: She's a doppel ganger. So one of these play the
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: other in the movie. Yes, I don't know either of them.
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: Want to be want to act. But yeah, so before
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: we talk about this week, I need to tell you
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: that sal is our tipper of the week. So she
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: has done the best round, perfect round, with the perfect round,
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: first round, tip with the best margin. So good on
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: your sale. We've got a few more weeks at that
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: where you are tipper of the week. It doesn't matter
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: where you are on the ladder. You get the fifty
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: dollars in the ballad. Drippler's tipping home.
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: Yay.
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: But I want to talk about Look, the only thing
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: really worth talking about is Lightning, Thunderbirds, Vixens, isn't.
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: It, Because well, for the finals, one.
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: Of them is going to be out, don't they. You
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: want to talk about the giants because that was bloody awesome,
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: But I think actually the most interesting thing to talk
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: about is book one of them is going to miss out.
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And what will be interesting is the run home. Now,
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: so this is the Vixen's run home is the Thunderbirds. Yeah,
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: that'll be a challenge the five Birds they'll win.
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: The West Coast Fever going to be a challenge.
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: In that one too, isn't it. Yeah, So they should win.
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: Let's say they win two of those three.
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: They will definitely win two of the three.
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you think they'll beat the Thunderbirds.
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: H No, I think they're what yeah, okay, I don't
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: know about that. They're definitely going to win one of
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: the three.
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: How they were the Thunderbirds. I couldn't believe that. That was
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: so exciting. So that's the run home. The Lightnings run
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: home is they've got Fever in Sunshine Coast, they've got
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: Swifts in Sydney, and they've got thunder Adelaide like that
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: is that is a nightmare for it is.
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: An absolute night mere run. Considering they lost the game
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: to the Vixens, that could prove the one that leaves
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: them out of the finals. Hunt now and then the
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: Thunderbirds has probably got the easiest run out of the
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: out of the size. But they've got obviously got to
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: play the Vixens and the Lightning and there were and
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: I think they've got the MAVs.
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: So mas Vixen's Vixen's away. Yeah. Just so to me,
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: it's looking like Lightning are going to come fifth or sixth,
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: depending on what the Giants do, because the Giants have
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: got a pretty good run home too. They've got the
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: they've got Firebirds. They've got Fever away, but last year
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: they only lost to the Fever in this same game
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: away by a point, and people were doing particularly well
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: then too, so who knows. Giants seem to be on
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: a particularly good run and.
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: Then they have to win the next three though, and
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: they need to rely on the Thunderbirds dropping all three. Yeah, okay, yeah,
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: it's a tough ask. It's not doesn't mean to say
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: it can't happen, but I think they need.
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: Thinking that they're looking They're looking like a fifth or
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: a fifth or a sixth the Giants. I'm not here.
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: I'm just I'm sort of saying that they could they
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: could jump over someone and get into fifth position, which is.
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: Crazy given they were on the bottom of the ladder
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: two seconds ago. Nuts, isn't it.
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: It is crazy. This is why we love this sport,
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: and this is why should go all around the world.
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: It should, it should go to sixty five countries. I
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: reckon should look at this.
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: Several billion people should be able to see it every
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: week and you should be able to listen to one
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: podcast where you get the chair of the All Australia
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: on here. But no, it will have not this two weeks.
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: Probably no, not this two weeks, but yeah, so, I
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: guess we just need to remind everyone to put their
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: tips for the valid of the tipping camp. We don't
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: have a Friday night game this week, so we can
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: get back to normal programming. I won't know what day
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: it is or what time it is for another couple
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: of days, but I will be getting my tips in and.
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: Buy your tickets to our live event.
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, so that's if I haven't done that. So
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: we've now been moved to the larger venue because we've
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: got such a good crowd coming. So so that means
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: we've been able to release some more tickets because of that,
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: because we moved to the larger venue. But please come

• 34:39
  Speaker 2: looking a little bit different, we'll be acting a little
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: bit different and yeah, so well, but all will be
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: revealed next week. We'll be if you're talking about that.
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: But now listen, you travel safe. Then when you get

  Speaker 2: and it looks you know, I'm back in Canada now
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: and they have no there's no no reason for me
