  Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to Noadriball, the podcast where we talk
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: about netball, but we talk about so much more. And
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: in the week when a lot of grand finals have
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: been put to bed and decided, whatever the result may be,
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: we are facing a new season. It is spring, still
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: a lot of netball to talk about. I'm Carolyn Swindell,
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: I'm kath.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: Cox, I'm Lizzellis.
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this is rare.
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: We like pushing three or four weeks.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: We've all been all being together.
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: I know something's going to happen.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Well, someone's going to add a little holiday soon.
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a couple of weeks. We're good for the minute. Hey,
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: tell me about your week though, because you tootled off
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: to the land of the Long White cloud. Last you
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: did that, we were talking about your airport Shenanigans when
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: you had a couple of wines in the lounde yes
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: and went.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: A little rogue with the shopping.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: I did, and I was very disappointed this time because
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: I thought I'm going to go to because it's the
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: Tapapa the museum in Wellington, which is great. They have
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: a star at the airport and that's where I saw
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: the earrings and thought I'm not buying earrings. I've got
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: enough earrings. I'm responsible, and then went into the lounge,
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: had a couple of lines and went, I'll get online,
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: and then I ended up buying three pairs of them.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: But the store has closed, so I can't even find
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: out who the manufacturer was because they were such great earrings.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: But I hope that it comes back. But no, so
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: I didn't buy any I had six flights in six
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: days last week. I went to New Zealand went to
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: Wellington and saw my mum and then together we went
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: down to Nelson and drove to Rewalker where my aunt
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: and uncle are. Then we flew back and then the
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: next day I got home Friday night, and then flew
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: to Brisbane for my goddaughter's twenty first on Saturday night,
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: which was very fun. But I don't want to see
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: an airport for a little while. I have opinions about airports.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: I have opinions about people at airports. I paid seven
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: dollars and ten cents for a coffee at the airport.
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: Did you see my comment on your social media post?
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: No?
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: I was I rate for you? That really pisces me off?
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: And was it bad?
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: It was okay, yeah, but what I did love it
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: was ten thirty on a Sunday morning, and you know
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: it may have something to do that. I felt a
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: little bit dusty from the twenty first because you got
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: to show these young people how to party.
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: Right, you have a shot?
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: I did never shot?
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, what was it?
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Tequila?
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: Terrible to heal it?
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: Tequila just straight up to Kere with the lemon and
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: the salt.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: No, we just this is my god, I just can't
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: said you're doing this, and it's like, well, if I'm
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: doing it, your parents are. And her mother, who was sensible, refused,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: but her father did it and we gathered the other
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: godparents together. So that was nice.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: But I have never been out on a night out
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: where there's been shots and it's finished.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: Well yeah, well I don't know how it finished for
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: them because they all went out so but and it
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: was looking pretty well. But so we stayed there. It's like,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: why would we go out?
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: No, because it escalates very quickly. Want to get out?
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: I reckon the last time we were together, shots made
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: themselves present. We threw them over our shoulder.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: We did.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: Yes, that's very same, is very smart because the other
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: person that bought them was so okay it is and
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: they're not looking around U, so he's actually drinking it
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: or not. I just want everyone. I think Gordy was
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: there too, and Gordy threw it over her shoulder too.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: Which there was a lot of wet floor action. Yeah,
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: time around, and I was like, I have not I
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: don't care. I don't care who I hit with this
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: shot going over my shoulder. I'm not drinking it because
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: I know if I drink a shot, it's like rocket
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: fuel for me and I go, I go crazy, and
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: then I'll fall off a cliff. And I'm fifty two
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: years old and I don't need that in my life.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: So I was like, yeah, yeah, I'll have a shot
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: over the shoulder. It goes.
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: If you didn't have to wake up the next day
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: and function, you'd probably do it. That's my biggest handbreak
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: now and want to feel crap, and now it takes
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: two days to recover.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: I was going to stay the problem one. I reckon,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: this is what I did. One shot and that's it.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: No, hang on, can I say on that note? One
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: shot is too many and then one hundred is not enough?
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: So for me, it's not It's true it's a slippery slope.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: But I'm at the airport with my seven dollars ten
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: coffee and it's ten thirty in the morning and the
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: wine tasting people are there, and I always think, who
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: does who is doing the wine tasting at the airport.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: I love wine tasting. It might actually be my religion.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure yet, but you know, it's like I've
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: never particularly at ten thirty on a Sunday morning, I
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: would have thought, why don't you start staffing this thing
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: from midday? Yeah, she was delightful. I didn't see anyone
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: doing the wine tasting, but clearly if they're paying a
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: staffer to be there and do it, they think it's
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: worthwhile doing. But it's like Brisbane Airport did make me
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: think that I wanted to drink heavily, but it wasn't
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: going to be the wine tasting.
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I reckon some people would though, Like you know,
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: when you're heading out on a holiday and you just
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: got the buzz. I always have a champagne when I
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: get to the airport when I'm going on holidays, Yeah,
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: wouldn't matter what time of the day it was. So
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: they probably think there's a few people that are going
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: to rock up and have their wines. Wine's a different story, though,
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: wasn't it. I'm not going to drink a red wine
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: at eight o'clock in the water, no, celebrate my holiday. No.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: So I'm trying not to drink Monday to Thursday at
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: the moment.
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: And how's that going for you?
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: Well, okay, mixed success. But last Monday I was at
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: the lounge at the International Lounge, flying to New Zealand
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: and it's like, well, what am I meant to do here?
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: Clearly I can't. It's not a Monday if you're at
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: an airport, right, it's no time, it's no day, it's
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: just wherever you are.
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: So international airport, let's be clear, because we all fly
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: far too much for that to.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: Be a general rule.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Yes, so I've seen enough of airports for a little while.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, not fair enough. Although you know you think about
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: like the barists. I've never had a good coffee at
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: an airport that I've had to pay for half from
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: Melbow Melbourne Airport.
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah like that you pay for you've had freebezy. Talking
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: about in the lounges and stuff.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not talking about the lounge like I've never
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: you know when you have to fly Jetstar or something
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: like that and there's no lounge option, and if you
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: come by yourself a coffee.
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: Melbourne's the only place because they've got a Saint Ali
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: as soon as you go in. And there's also a
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: campus at the domestic terminal in Melbourne, both of which
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: are frequent dripless.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: You might not know this.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Catherine has her higher degree in coffee. If you ever
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: want to know where the good coffee is, Catherine Cox
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: is the person to tell you. And you know it's
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: we are in the presence of an expert.
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: I have the bean hunter out which has never steered
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: me wrong.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: Ell, it's got me onto that years ago.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: It's good. Yeah, it's good.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: Oh no, I didn't. I mean it's so. I was
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: running late yesterday for my flight, so I didn't go
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: into the lounge and I just went up and said
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: can I take a coffee on board? And she said,
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: as long as it's got a lid on it. So
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: I went right now, I'll just go and buy a
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: coffee here seven dollars ten and a little bit of sad.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: Later on it was like.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: I do wonder though, if like when they do the
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: job interviews for the brewister at the airport. The first
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: question is can you make shit coffee?
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: Yes?
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: I can. Yes, There's an all press place at Sydney
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: Airport and I like all press beans. But somehow they
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: still managed to murder it. So I don't know what
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: it is, but I think if that's the criteria, that
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: you murder the beans, no matter how good the beans.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: And there's a lot of breistas at the airports who
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: are killing that, they're doing very well.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: When I was in high school, I have a friend
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: whose mother was very snobby. And this friend of mine,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: who shall remain nameless, left her first husband and she
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: started going out with this younger guy and her mother
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: was very unhappy. So she told her mother he's a barrister.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: He was a barista. She already met the coffee shop.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: He's a barrister and she was happy.
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: And he makes a great cup of coffee as well.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Wish that could be potato potato right?
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: Oh?
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: I love it? I love it, Coxie. Can we have
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: an update? I know that Harper last week at post
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: Grand Finals of post finals celebrations may or may not
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: have drawn blood from her friend. Is there an update
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: on that?
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: It's bustard. She's having surgery on Thursday. Yeah, oh broken,
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: Because surgery is not cheap. They're going to a little
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: private hospital up the road. She did say, though, funnily enough,
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: that she's had this kid's had grommets when she was little,
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: and she also breathes with her mouth open, and I thought, oh,
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: I should get some of those stickers to put over
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: a mouth that we were talking about one app But
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: she went and saw that in those throats. Specials E
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: and T whatever they called. He did a check up
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: of it and one of her nostrils has actually got
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: more something in it that blocks her breed turbanets. I
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: think it is is courrect. Yes, So she's getting that
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: done at the same time, and I was like, fantastic.
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: Don't actually feel.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: As bad You've solved a problem.
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I was like, you're welcome, because they wouldn't have
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: found that had half a not busted her notes.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: Oh that's true. But it did prompt some dribblers to
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: ask how I had broken your nose. Catherine and a
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: postgram final celebration, it was so very similar. It was
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: very very similar.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: I don't think it was a handstand.
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: Well, well, the week before the Grand Final, my husband.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: Julie had got Matthew to come in because my husband
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: was a rugby player and he's now, you know, coaches kids,
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: and she got him to come in and just do
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: some stuff with tackle pads, and so Matthew took that
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: a little bit too literally and taught us how to tackle.
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: And it did not help us in the Grand Final
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: because we lost that particular Grand Final. But was that
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: one of your no that was against Phoenix, who was
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: the precursor to the Vixen's And in the post grad
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: final celebrations, there was a big sort of party in
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: the foyer at Kudos Bank Arena and Catherine and I
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: must have had this thought about tackling Julie Fitzgerald at
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: the same time, and we both went to do it.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: And as Katherine came from one angle and I came
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: from the other angle, mice fist swung around and collected
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: Catherine's nose. She came blood just gushing, and I had
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: had a few beers and I was like, I.
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: Just I think I remember saying at the time, thank
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: God I'm drunk.
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: Because this would really Julie completely. Julie was like this iceberg.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: She just looked at us and gold caper and goal shooter,
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: and then that we both stood off and I had
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: blood all over my hand. It was Catherine's pot. Oh God,
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: Julie Fitzgerald.
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: So we had a surprise retirement party for her yesterday.
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: Fantastic because Jules godlover like she knew she was going
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: to retire at the end of the season. She had
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: her last game and I knew. So it was killing
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: me because all I wanted to do was talk about her,
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: celebrate her with the send off that she deserved right
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: twenty seven years of National League. But she was such
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: a class act right to the very end in that
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: she let Joe Harden, who was also retiring, have that time.
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: She didn't want to announce it and still any of
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: the spotlight. But after the game, I was chatting with
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: Jan Troy, who was the first ever manager of the Swifts,
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: and we just said, we can't let this slide, like,
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: she has to be celebrated. So at that point we
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: sust a date out that we could get all the
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: kids together first, because the Fitzgerald kids is a cast
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: of thousands, now locked all them in and then we
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: worked backwards so we had the surprise. Yesterday, she thought
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: she was going out for lunch with some friends and
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: they were just having a drink before lunch at the
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: bar that we're all hiding at, and she walked in,
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: and we're all supposed to just jump out and give
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: her a big surprise, but the grandkids could not help themselves,
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: and they just ran at us, and they one ran
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: at her and the next one ran at her. And
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: She's just looking at all these kids running at her, thinking,
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: what I know, these children? What are they doing here? Anyway,
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: So we did some speeches and we had a beautiful
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: video from Lee's that we showed because she couldn't be there.
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: Todd Miller did a great little tribute video as well.
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: But Julie spoke at the end and you forget where
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: the Swifts have come from. I mean, you look at
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: them now and there's such a powerhouse. Like if you
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: think of sporting clubs, they're one of the biggest. Certainly
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: netball that comes to my right. But Julie and Jan
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: sat on the lound room floor when they got told
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: that the National League was starting in nineteen ninety seven
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: and that all the teens had to be named after birds,
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: having an argument about which bird we would be the
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: two of them in the Lund room. That's where the
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: Swifts came from. Ah ow it because it's said that
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: they are super fast and they don't slow down when
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: they change direction. And Julie's like, love that. That sounds
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: like a great network.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: Have gone with the sacred ibis actually with legs as
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: long as yours sacred chickens.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: We have one of those get got by an eagle
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: at our place this week. So that was interesting, right anyway,
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: I digress, so interesting you talk about that, Catherine, because
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: subsequent to Julian Jan thinking about that and making the
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: pitch for one team to be called the Swifts, I
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: was at a meeting which was like they had a
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: heap of players there with Netborn New Southharres. This was
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: years ago. This was, yeah, a long long time ago,
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: and I'm talking about the fact that there were going
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: to be two Sydney teams, going to be the Sydney
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: Swifts and the Sydney something else. And a dear old
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: lady put a hand up and said, maybe one team
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: could be the Sydney Swifts and the other team could
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: be the Sydney Swallows.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: And we'll have a rational team called.
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: The only when she's surprised, I do you know.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: The hard thing was she was such a lovely old lady,
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: and I thought, I'm not going to explain to her
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: Wire Team can't make the Swallows like explained to your mother.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: Wire Team cut as well as anyway. It never got
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: up in the other city. Team eventually became to Sydney Samdpipers.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: But I just thought to myself, oh my god, lord,
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: that's just.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: At this moment too for the Dribblers who liked to
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: listen to this podcast in the car with their daughters
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: and have fun with that.
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: But it was funny though, because not only did they
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: talk about the name, but just what they did.
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: At the start.
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: It was the two of them. They did everything, they
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: did the merchandise. Their kids then were on the stall
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: selling the merchandise. One of the kids was in the
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: Swift's costume as the mascot. They did the first sponsorship
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: pitch that went out just Julie, just jan and she
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: said all the money basically that they sold and they
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: made from the merchandise was what they wanted to top
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: us up with because we weren't paid. So they were
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: doing all this stuff in you know, Lieu of trying
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: to give us a little bit of extra cash on
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: the site. And Julie said it was funny because back
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: then winning the game was more important, or almost as important,
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: as how much merchandise, say had sold every.
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: Game, because they wanted to know how much money this
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: struggling club was earning. But it was just such a
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: great little reminder of you know, you see the swifts
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: now and you just forget two really passionate netball mums
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: started that out and look where it is now.
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: It's insane, it's amazing, so cool.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: I had no idea of the breadth of Julie's skills,
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: and I'm seeing a little but time job for her
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: in the No Dribble Empire. She could sell merchant do
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: sponsorship deals and things on.
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: Her head, on her head. So when I first met
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: Julie and I told this story, I actually was an
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: eighteen year old kid fucking nineteen ninety one and I
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: was at under nineties New South Wales selections and I
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: think back then the coach wasn't a selector because the
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: selectors were sort of sitting around talking. We're all sitting
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: sort of up in the bench at the old and
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: Clark Center in Sydney, and this really nice lady started
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: talking to me and she was like, oh, you think
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: they'd be able to make up their mind and I
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: was like yeah, chatting away to her. And then at
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: the end they said and here's the team and here's
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: the coach up. And it was this nice lady that
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: I've been talking to, but at the time like she
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: was coaching the new South Wales under nineteens team. And
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: then I came back from the Institute of Sport and
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: I went and played with her Kareing Gay team. She
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: would turn up to training with four kids in toe
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: and I remember John, her youngest would have been three.
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: He just spent hours over a couple of years going
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: having one of those little trikes. He would just go
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: round and around the outdoor court that we used to
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: train on up at pinball. And so she was a
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: single mum with four kids. She had a job in
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: graphic design, like she used to do that for somebody,
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: and then she eventually ran Hornsby Basketball Association and she
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: was coaching us and she had a lot of help
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: from her mum who used to look after the kids.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: And I live with her mum for a little while
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: when I came back to Sydney. But everything that she
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: gets out of the game now she absolutely deserves because
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: she did it so tough. And the thing that I
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: take away from her is I often think about what
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: would Julie do, not when I'm coaching, but when I'm
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: actually raising my kids, because she's got four superb children
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: now are all adult children, and she did it on
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: her own, like and she's amazing. So to have someone
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: like that in our lives, I'm so grateful for because
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: she's I couldn't tell you a single netball skill she
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: taught me even though she coached me for that long,
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: not because she didn't, because she taught me heaps, but
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: it's small that I think about now all the other
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: skills that she was teaching us at the same time.
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but the kids are first hand witness to what
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: work ethic is all about, right, Yeah, because they are
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: all now prepared to do the h yards work their
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: butts off for There's two lawyers, a lawyer, a barrister
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: and a doctor.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: And then a coffee making barrister or like a real one.
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: And John's into property, so I've I mean, they're all
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: absolutely killing it. Impressive humans.
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: But it was such a great.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: Day anyhow, and good on you for making sure that
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: gets marked because I was so I was so touched
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: when Julie announced her retirement because I didn't know in advance,
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: but I knew immediately. Well, you haven't made this decision
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: in the last fifteen minutes. You've known this for a while,
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: and you just you let Joe have the stage. You
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: let the fans celebrate Joe and her career. So I
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: think that's really fabulous that you organized that.
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: It was cute.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: Well done.
• 17:43
  Speaker 5: Yeah, well done, Elizabeth.
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: Yes, speaking of netball, what elst we're on the topic Friday.
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: Oh you talk to us about Friday real brace yourself.
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: That's for the Netball World Cup. So we launched the
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: Netball World Cup brand and imagery on Friday. By where
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: I mean actually the Mark Valveau and the team at
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: the Netball World Cup. So it's something that's been worked
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: on over the last several months and it just incorporates
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: so much great stuff. So you've got to make sure
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: that you've got a visual identity that is separate from
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: Super Netball. So really drawing on the World Cup imagery
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: and so that particular like the logo is very familiar,
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: but all the stuff that goes around that, so the
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: vision for the World Cup is braced yourself. The art
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: and the coloring around that is you know, there was
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: a heavy First Nations involvement, so Ginny Jones in collaboration
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: with the group called yarn Up have come up with
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: all the imagery around it. And I think it's beautiful.
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: It's really bright and it's really colorful and it was
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: so good to launch it in Sydney on Friday on
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: the harbor. It was a sparkle tackle the day. Yeah,
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: it was great with the Code hangar in the background.
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: And funny Steve Kemper, who's the new Southwest Minister for Sport,
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: he walked up and he goes, yeah, you know I
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: spoke to the right people about the weather for you.
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: They call me the Minister for Sunshine, so I was like,
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: thank you to the Minister for Sunshine for delivering. So look,
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: it was an amazing launch and the thing that I
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: loved was that the athletes were presented in a really
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: great way. You know, there was they looked unreal, didn't they. Yeah,
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: And they had all been dressed in a really striking way.
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: And you know, all the corporates that I spoke to
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: afterwards w were there were like, this is amazing. We
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: want to see more of this because like I walked
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: up to Mary Cholock and I had two thoughts, A,
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: I'm so happy I'm retired, and be she's so stunning, right,
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: And so these women are unbelievable athletes but could also
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: be catwarp models. They're amazing, right, They all came up
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: so well. So it was a really great way to
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: launch and to show that. It was a great way
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: to say that the Netball World Cup is about showcasing
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: the best of the best, and we're going to see
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: lots of different sides of these athletes. But at the
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: end of the day, you get a World Cup event
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: that's that's going to be different to a previous World
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: Cups event because there's a Cup and then the plate competition.
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: So the games I'm meaningful for longer all the way through,
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: which is fantastic. And you know, we get to see
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: best netballers in the world week in week out. In
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: super netball, we're so spoiled. But this time we get
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: in twenty twenty seven in Sydney, we'll get to see
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: them representing their countries and there's just something really special
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: about that. So yeah, it was a great day and
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: I thought all the imagery came up really well.
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: It was amazing. You could tell it was there so
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: much work put into it. Just looked so professional. You
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: could tell the girls had been styled for it looked.
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: It looked amazing. So well done to all of the team.
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Thanks, I had nothing to do with it. I
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: just turned up and beg to get my hair and
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: makeup done, and you know, you looked good.
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: I like doing, you know.
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: Thanks.
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: A quick question. I know I'd be able to find
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: this by googling, But is what time of year is
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: the is the World Cup is the same sort of
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: time of year as the Calm Game? So are we're
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: looking at it the following year, likely to in early
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: super Netwole season again to fit that in.
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: Or to be a little bit later than the common game.
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: So the comm games I think at the end of
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: July start next year, so that's a little bit later.
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: So all you want is free dates in your calendar.
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: Don't you want a little bit of a heads up
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: to get your life in order.
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: I plan, I plan quite far ahead. Things yeah, I get.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: It's one of my superpowers, but also one of my
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: annoying characteristics. I understand this well, good person to ask
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: that was the boss of it.
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: Indeed, look, I don't actually know that much, to be honest,
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: I just sort of go and talk to people.
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: Okay, well, what do you know about broadcast?
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: Deal?
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: Because there's a lot of chat around that. Can you
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: give us anything? The dribblers want information?
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: What sort of I'm just I've just worked this out
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: because I did google net by Walker. I don't want
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: to say a dating case, I got it wrong, sot.
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: That's in the twenty fifth of August to the fifth
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: of September.
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: Very good to the fifth twenty fifth of AUGUSTA don't
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: come something you said, Yeah, don't go at my diary
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: in case something comes up anyone watching from our time.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: I love that you too, think you're so popular. So
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying that's exciting. My son will have finished
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: high school at the end of next year, so I'm
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: looking like I've got a pretty good chauffeur for that period. Right, perfect, nice, good,
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: well play. I'll drive over here and then we can
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: go together. Right, he could go and pick you up
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: worry about it home. Okay, So I think the question
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: is around broadcast deal is benefits of free too are
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: versus going with a subscriber channel like Fox tell how
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: much of you know? I don't know shit? Is that
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: enough questions? But yeah, I think it's more a general
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: understanding of how does this work from Netball Australia's perspective,
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: what's in the best interest of the sport.
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's a bit of an iterative process that
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: Netball Australia is going through at the moment with all
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: the broadcasters that we're talking to, and that is the
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: balance that has to be weighed up. If you sit
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: behind a payball, this potentially more money. So if you're
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: on Fox or Paramount or Stan or any of those,
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: or Netflix or Amazon you know they're all Disney, ESPN,
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: you've got to go and sort of see what's available there,
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: and there generally is more money if you sit behind
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: a paywall. If you go to free to wear, the
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: money is less, but the reach is better, right And
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: so potentially if you do that then you might get
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: less money from your broadcast deal, but you might be
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: able to end up with more money from your sponsorship
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: deals for example. So it's not an either or and
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: it's not black and white. There's a lot that has
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: to go into it. So Steph Beltrami is leading that
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: process for us. She was involved in the cricket deal
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: a few years ago, so she's got extensive experience in this.
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: Which was an amazing change, wasn't it Because nine had
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: had the cricket for decades and they owned the cricket
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: and it has swapped in that deal. So that must
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: have been a really interesting negotiation.
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's super interesting. And when you sort of, you know,
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: sit and talk to her about it, the machinations are
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: just unbelievable. And you know, so she's sort of seen
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: it and done it before. The experience is which is fantastic,
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: and I think it's so great for the organization to
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: have her doing this for us. And at the moment,
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: it's just about talking to all the broadcasters to see
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: who's interested at what level of interest. There's a possibility
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: that parts of it might be split up, so you
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: might have some games behind a paywall, some on freeedomy.
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: So that's what I was going to ask you, because
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: a lot of the sports do that now, don't they.
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not crickets. Yeah, and if you think back
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: to the last the broadcast deal before the current ones
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: with nine, two games a week were live on nine
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: and two games a week were live on I think
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: was it Telstra TV or was the app or something
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: like that, and then they got after they were done
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: live on that, then they got uploaded to nine. Now
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: you could watch them on delay a little while later.
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: So this Fox Cell deal has been the first time
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: that all the games in super Netball have been on live,
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: so you know there's that component which is really valuable
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: as well. And Fox have been a terrific partner. Despite
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: their choice of Catherine Cox it's a commentator, I don't
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: know about that. They've been amazing. Yeah, right, So, but
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: so that that's been terrific. So now we just have
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: to work out what the next iteration is and you know,
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: lots of people have opinions it should all be I'm
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: free to wear, but there's also bills to pay, right,
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: so you've got to work out where you can be
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: and what's what's the best best for the sports. So
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: but you know, hopefully by the end of this year
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: we'll know what the broadcast deal from twenty twenty seven
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: looks like so where with Fox Now it's the same
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: again for twenty twenty six and the next deal starts
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: at the start of twenty twenty seven.
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: Yep, right, very exciting. Do you might not know this,
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: but I'm just interested in Steph. Do you like is
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: that a law background? Like what what's the skill set?
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: And obviously you know her expertise is that she has
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: done this for other sports, but it's like commerce background accounting, Like,
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: how do you like, how does someone get into a
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: job like that? Do you know?
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: Oh, do you know what? There's lots of ways into
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: that sort of job and there's lots of people who
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: do it. And so Steph really spent a long time
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: in the commercial area cricket Australia and she sort of
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: and then worked heavily in this broadcast rights negotiation. So
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: there are people who come in from a commercial background.
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: There are people who come into these sort of roles
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: and come through sporting organizations who might be like start
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: off with a teachers or sports science, have a sports
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: science background, and then come into sports organizations and pick
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: up the commercial skills as they go. I know there
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: are other people who do this work who have a
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: broadcasting background, for example, have worked for one of the
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: Freeedoware channels and you know as producers or in the
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: commercial area there, and then they come into work on
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: the sports side. So you know, there's a lot of
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: ways into it. And like I said, you don't do
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: a degree in broadcast negotiations. You enter into either a
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: broadcast or to into a sports organization and you sort
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: of climb through the ranks that way. With the end
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: of the day, there's a skill to negotiate that very interesting.
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, when I was a sponsorship manager at the Brumbies,
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: I had come from a government relations background, so I'd
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: never worked in sport before, but I had worked for government.
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: I do have a while we're talking about business book
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: here foolish words, the most stupid words ever spoken. I
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: want you to remember this Netball Australia. I don't know
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: is this a person we want to take advice from.
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: The point is that you can't be too greedy and
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: those are the words of the leader of the free
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: world at the moment, Donald Pump. So take from that
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: what you will, but certainly good place in this book
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: for someone.
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: The point is you can't be too greedy. I'll feed
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: that into the team. Yeah, that's great.
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: So leadership quotes? You know a bit about leadership quotes?
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: Has anyone been asking you for a leadership quotes recently?
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: Well?
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: Funny that you meant to that. And you know that
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: because my daughter just as we start this podcast you

• 27:41
  Speaker 2: I've got a text message, do you know any good
• 27:44

• 28:12
  Speaker 2: Yes, well, a good leader, let's say children do their
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: own research. Yeah, you can make your own PG version
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: of that. There is no I love that's gold. But
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: I'm going to write that. Can you two talk amongst
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: yourselves while I'm sending this text message back to my daughter?

• 28:34
  Speaker 3: but before we finish, I must do a win beneath
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: our wings. I would love that because the wonderful Michelle
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: Troy Lizellis was at Julie's function yesterday and she gave
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: me one ages ago and I have been so slack,
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: and I said to oh my god, I'll do it.
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: I'll do it this week. I'll do it this week.
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: So Hi'm Michelle, I'm doing it soon.
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: So we will do that.
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: At the end, I will just now say there is
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: one week left to get your let's go to pub
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: match so that they will close midnight on the fifteenth
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: of September, So get around that. There's some very nice
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: stuff in there.
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: I love the one you're wearing now, thank you.
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: This is the Raglin and it runs slightly large. This
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: is a medium. I wish I'd gone with the small,
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: but yeah, I really like this one. That's part of
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: that normal range, which will still be on sale on
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: the sixteenth of September.
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: Great, and why you two have been filling in. I've
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: actually sent her a couple. There is no iron team
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: but two in zealous but I've also sent her another one.
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: Let's pull together and do it my way. I love it,
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: and I might just suite another one later. This is
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: a dictatorship, not a democracy, so there's an indication of,
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: you know, of how I might lead in my family
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: At almost Beautiful, it's myself.
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: If she uses those genuinely thinking that they're good, mom
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: wouldn't steer me wrong.
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: It's quite I think, a reflection on our parenting standards.
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: I flicked around a video that we all enjoyed on
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: the weekend wasn't and it was just a montage of
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: children just getting hammered by animals. I'm not over by goats.
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: And the one, the one that made me my pants,
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: the spider was that yours?
• 30:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: Yes, So this is like one of those kids parties,
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: and I wish, why do kids get this? I would
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: love to go to a party where it like a
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: reptile party or something where someone in a very safe
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: environment says, do you want to hold this snake? Or
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: you know, let's learn about this shingleback or whatever. But
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: this was spiders by the looks of things. And there
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: was a large tarantula in a perspex box and this
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: person's walking around showing the little kids stumbles, had the
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: box open sept This just tarantula falls on this poor
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: little three year old.
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: It was the person filming it.
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: The camera went all over the ship.
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: They obviously shipped their pants as well. But it was
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: a tarantula, like it wasn't a little spider, big hairy beast.
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: That kid's still in theery.
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: I was pussy.
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: I just love that stuff when animals and kids come
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: face to face and the kit ends up on the
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: good end of it.
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: I wonder what it says about us, say, because I
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: watched these and laugh, and then I go to the
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: comments and people are like, you shouldn't laugh. People got hurt,
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: you shouldn't laugh, blah blah blah blah. Oh I'm a
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: really bad human, but we're all of us. Three are
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: bad humans.
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: How about the one where the kid was running up
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: the hill being chased by geese was stairical.
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: Geese are nasty though, And the little girl who got
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: who got beat in the head. I got beat in
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: the head by a black swan when I was five,
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: and I've never ever forgotten it. It was awful, but
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: I still laughed.
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: Oh, this is interesting conversation. Then have you had a
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: close encounter that's going to write?
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: Not that I can think of. I mean, obviously sweeped
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: by magpies and isn't that the topical horrifying conversation at
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: the moment? No, have you ever been well?
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: And Mum told me this story recently and I've forgotten
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: about it. But when we first moved to Australia, we
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: were living out in the Northwest where the Koala Park is,
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: and we went to the Koala Park and she said
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: one of the kangaroos took a liking to me and
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: had me like wrapped up and they were all freaking out,
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: just waiting for it to either kick or do whatever
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: it was going to do. And she said, My face was, oh,
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: this is nice. I'm having a cuddle. To the moment
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: that I started to see all the staff kind of
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: try to work out how to get me out of it,
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: and then I lost it. They're all, no, steak, come here,
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: you go, stake bloody How I'm not slightly traumatized by
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: that at all?
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: No, so funny, but I took Loss to Tarankazoo when
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: we were when he was little, we used to have
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: the zoo pass, which was great. You just go and
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: you get so good, go for an hour and you know,
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: it fills half the day or whatever. But there was
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: a school group having a talk from one of the
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: rangers and we just sort of sat in the back
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: and I gave him a sandwich and the next thing,
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: this EMU comes in between. This EMI's head comes in
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: between the two of us, and he's only about three.
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: It's like they're quite freaking up close. It didn't do anything,
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: just looked at our sandwich and it's like, yeah, please
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: go away.
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: We have had one of those pettings, not a petting zoo,
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: but the ones you would just talking about the fort
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: recently and they had a massive python, talking massive. There
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: was three adults holding it and my one rule was
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: I'm down the other end. I'm not up the head end,
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: so I was holding its tail. Those things are so
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: heavy and so scary. Even they're like, oh no, they're
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: really gentle. Would you pat what would you hold what?
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: In that type of environment? I think I would like,
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: I'm not a big snake fan. I don't think that
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: makes me unusual, but it's like I'm quite fascinated by them.
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: But they go, oh, just let's have it for the kids.
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: I know to tell with the kids, they've got many
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: years to learn about animals and conquer their fears.
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: Did you have snake encounters in the jungle? Is?
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Actually I had one that never didn't make the
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: cart spilling because I was so brave. So we had
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: this challenge this one day. They gave us the challenge.
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: I said, you're not allowed to react to anything, and
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: if you get through the day without reacting to anything,
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: you get I don't know, a packet of the team
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: or something at the end, right I tap out.
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: We had we had if people gave you the shitsh
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: that's unreasonable.
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: Well, one of the things that they did was one
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: of the first things they did was Dicko had got
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: vaded out the day before and they got him to
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: walk in and he'd had a shower and he was clean,
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: and he walked in. He must have had a like
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: he had a tray of biscuits or he had a
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: tray of food and he was trying to get us
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: to eat it. And he was like like he was
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: walking up offering us food and saying, Hi, guys, how
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: are you going. It's so great to see him. We'd
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: literally just spent three weeks with him and he was
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: someone who I connected with and I was like, I
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: can't believe. I kind of inspect him and say hi,
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: and then he's food under his I was like, oh
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: my god. So we none of us reacted to him,
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: and he skipped out and we knew he was skipping
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: out for a beer, which even heard us even more.
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: But then I had to go up into the top
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: TALKI where they do you interview? Like you went on
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: one interview and while I was sitting, they were talking
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: to me one of the rains, So what was that
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: word you used?
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: You had to go into the what it's called a
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: top TALKI right, and okay, as in to talk as
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: he picked.
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: So it's like a little like a little shed with
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: cameras in it and you can't see who you're talking
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: to you but you can hear them, right, So you
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: go and they talk to and there's a micro you
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: got your microphone and you have a conversation and one
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: of the rangers came in. When the South African rangers
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: came in with his massive snake, and he's stuck it
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: on my shoulders and I, oh, I wasn't allowed to react,
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: so I just had to keep the conversation going. And
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: this snake just slid across me and sell it down,
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: and I could see I've had to keep looking, but
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: I could see out of the corner of my eye
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: like this little snake head like look not how much
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: we came out, Nne Catherine, I do my keygels and yes,
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: so but I just sat there. I just knew I
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: had to be calm because I knew that if I
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: lost my shit, that's when the snake, that's when things
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: get agitated. And like the ranger was there in front
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: of me, so that like there's a safety element they're
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: looking at. Anyway, I just and then eventually just slither
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: it off me and they said you can go, and
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: I just got up and walked out. And then they
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: got in there, and he hated it because when he
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: walked in, the snake was on the seat and he
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: had to sit on the seat like the snake was
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: and you know, he's English and snakes sort of own
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: a thing that he might like. So yeah, so that
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: was that was pretty funny. So that was the only snake.
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: And you know what all I cared about was that
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: I didn't end up, you know the viper room where
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: they put people underground. Yes, and it wasn't for the snakes.
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: It was I don't like the idea of being a
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: favorite like that. So I was like anyway, and about
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: like they kept asking before I went in, like in
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: the months before I before we started, what are you
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: most afraid of? And I thought, I'm not letting on it.
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: That's what I'm most afraid off. So I just kept saying,
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: telling you, I know I'm not telling you, So I
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: just kept saying I'm most afraid of getting hurt because
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: I you know, because I've got kids and I'm not
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: telling you one. But for having said that though, when
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: we moved up here, I was terrified of snakes and
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: Matthew was like, they don't come into your room and
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: like pull you out of bed, like they're not. As
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: long as you stay out of their way, They're absolutely
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: not going to go anywhere near you. And then about
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: three months after.
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: We moved stay out of them away by going to Sydney.
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: Well do you know what the snakes in Sydney are
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: dressed in suits? I think it's sister, yes, whereas the
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: snakes here.
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: Again with Catherine's dating life.
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, anyway, about three months after we moved up here,
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: there was a family not far from us, and the
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: mother heard the cat making a weird noise and it
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: was in her kid's room. When she walked into her
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: baby's room and there was a snake in the like
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: with the baby was a python, So they're not they're
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: not poisonous. Pythons aren't poisonous. But it was just what
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: was going to do to strangle it either, No, I
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: think it was just trying to get warm. Anyway, Oh
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: my god, I said to Matthew. See they do come
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: into your room and they do pull you out of
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: your bed, pick on your little ones.
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: Oh, I said, I didn't need to know that story.
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: So just on phobias. I'm a good flyer, having had
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: six flights last week. But Wellington in New Zealand, as
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: you know, had a rotation for being deep and we
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: flew from Nelson to Wellington and we had received notifications
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: a day before there's going to be some weather and
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: we're on this Dash eight, so it's it's quite a
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: little a little fly and we're coming in and it's rugged.
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: You could feel, you know, the pilot battling against the wind.
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: But this poor woman who was sitting across the aisle
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: from mom, and I was incredibly nervous, and any time
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: there was a there was a dip, she was like
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: and she had a kid with her who was about
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: nine and obviously trying so hard to stay calm for
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: her daughter, but was incredibly free to She's biting this
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: magazine that she had with her just to try to
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: stay calm for thing. And it's just like, oh man,
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: there's no there's no dignity in the situation like that.
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: All no. But we landed and everyone clapped like it
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: was the.
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: Isn't that funny? Yeah, they do that sometimes when it's
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: a tough landing, like oh well, duly here and alive.
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: Come fly with me, let's fly, let's lie away here
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: for you can you.
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: So we're going to be running out of time. But
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: there's a couple of things. We promised last week that
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: we would talk about off season activities for kids. I
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: want to talk about where we might have future Sun
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: Corpse super Netball teams located. Because Darryl Milton, celebrity stepdad
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: of the podcast, put up a great post in the
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: group last week, they got a lot of chat about
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: you know, where should it be. Obviously, Jemong's making a planner,
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: so I reckon, we talk about that one next week,
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: but there was a request. I think we push off
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: talking about off season for kids until next week. But
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: we apparently we didn't talk about the Thunderbirds last week.
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: You forgot they existed.
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: I did.
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: How did they go in the signings season? I reckon
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: getting mirror Sterling Humphrey not pregnant, that's that would be
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: in Let's.
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: Just take that if those in you thinks so greedy?
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, God, what do they want?
• 39:53
  Speaker 3: Who else did they pick up? I'm having a mental blank.
• 39:55
  Speaker 3: Oh they got Kate.
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: Heffernan, hefn and oursel Maury Vanderberg.
• 39:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Kate Heffernan. I don't know much about Vanderberg. I'm
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: intrigued to see how she slots in there. Going to
• 40:04
  Speaker 3: have to stand up and all eyes will be on
• 40:07
  Speaker 3: her in this Test series against the Proteus because that's
• 40:09
  Speaker 3: the first team Australia is going to be playing at
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: the start of October, and I reckon people will be
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: staring her down to see what they're up against next year.
• 40:18
  Speaker 3: Great chance to do some reconnaissance if you're the other
• 40:20
  Speaker 3: club coaches.
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: But also buy some tickets Nick and see her play.
• 40:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, totally but Kate heaven and I think is going
• 40:26
  Speaker 3: to be a massive, massive one for them to fill
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: the gap of Hannah Petty, huge, great pickup. So yeah,
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: Kaiate Thunderbirds fans, you're right now.
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: Guys, but it is I guess this is the other thing.
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: You know, we've talked about the pros and cons of
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: having the international players come into the comp I've got
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: to say them signing Elmare Vanderberg makes me go, oh,
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: I'm much more interested in this Diamond series against South
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: as exactly that reason that it's sort of like what
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: are we going to be seeing from these unknown quantities?
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: So we're sorry Thunderbirds fan, but there you go.
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: Liz.
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: Do you have anything to add on the Thunderbirds front?
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: No, only about Kate Heffernan. Do you know she's she
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: played for New Zealand and cricket too. Cricket, Yeah yeah,
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: and sister, I really have a problem with athletes who
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: are good at two sports.
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: They shit me, isn't it insane how frequently it happens? Though,
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: Like you know, Elise Perry was what cricket and she
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: and Matilda Yeah, you know, there's there's these cross code
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: I mean, but people who go I will learn a
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: new sport like Swift's far at Verity Simmons, who I
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: absolutely loved watching, and I didn't realize that she hadn't
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: grown up in an AFL house, so when she went
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: to AFL, it's sort of like, I'm just learning all
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: of this from scratch. I think that's incredible.
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, anyways, doesn't it. It was never a problem for
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: Catherine and I that we had to choose. Don't have
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: a good at one sport?
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: Well, i'll tell you what. Who's had to make some choices.
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: This week, Bob Jarvis played in a preliminary final Unfortuate.
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: They got bundled out, played wing defense and then go shitter.
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah that's tough.
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: That's tough at all.
• 42:08
  Speaker 3: No, Yeah, I like to know what the stats were.
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: Well, she got one in, I hear not one in
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: the better than none bar. The fourth quarter for the
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: Shamrocks might not have been the most competitive one. I
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: think that they had they stayed in the game until.
• 42:21
  Speaker 3: Until they were barbing shit.
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: Well, I think by then they might have gone, Okay,
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: well this is gone for us.
• 42:27
  Speaker 3: Put on your bar. One is better than none?
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: Well, absolutely, yeah, absolutely, even that.
• 42:31
  Speaker 3: You're happy to have it a crack and then I
• 42:32
  Speaker 3: see they poured all the wasn't gatoray, but they gave
• 42:35
  Speaker 3: her a big drenching afterwards.
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: All the water bottles. Good to say, love her.
• 42:39
  Speaker 3: Okay, we're beneath our wings.
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: Time, guys.
• 42:41
  Speaker 3: I think I have to get this done for Michelle Troy.
• 42:44
  Speaker 3: Why she will fully rouse me in. And we don't
• 42:46
  Speaker 3: need Missus Troy rousing at us either. We've been roused
• 42:50
  Speaker 3: out by Missus Troy a few times.
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: Sorry before you did that, I'm just going to I've
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: got a message back from my daughter. That's not very helpful.
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: I'm glad she was maybe not in this moment, but
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: in the long term her development will be improved.
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: This is true.
• 43:04
  Speaker 3: All right, here we go. This is our wind, beneath
• 43:07
  Speaker 3: our wings. It's been a long time between rings. You're scrunchy.
• 43:10
  Speaker 3: If it's not disintegrated already is coming your way with
• 43:13
  Speaker 3: some big shoes to fill. Our new president of Blaming
• 43:16
  Speaker 3: Netble Association had a big task ahead, but with an
• 43:19
  Speaker 3: never say die attitude, Emma Green has worked tirelessly to
• 43:22
  Speaker 3: fundraise and recruit sponsors for a little association. This year,
• 43:26
  Speaker 3: We've had new uniform specialist coaching sessions of the first
• 43:29
  Speaker 3: time players at State got to experience being part of
• 43:32
  Speaker 3: the athlete village. Emma is humble in her achievements, but
• 43:35
  Speaker 3: in such a short space of time, the results on
• 43:38
  Speaker 3: court have been amazing. A special shout out to the
• 43:41
  Speaker 3: under fifteens who came equal fourth for blamey, isn't it
• 43:47
  Speaker 3: well done? Guys. With an amazing committee behind her, country
• 43:50
  Speaker 3: netble is in safe hands and the future looks great.
• 43:53
  Speaker 3: Thank you to the selflessness of Emma Greenman Michelle great work.
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: Very first wind beneath our wings was from Orange Netball Association.
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: So you know, we might see some carnivals out that
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: way with quite a number of scrunchies being sported.
• 44:10
  Speaker 3: Which I love with them.
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: Two number.
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: That's quite a number, I'll have you know. Yeah. Also
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: one is also quite an It's not quite a large number,
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: but good sorry, Barb will tell you one's quite a number.
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: So in comedy that's called a callback. Very well done,
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Catherine.
• 44:30
  Speaker 2: Good work.
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: So next week we'll talk about our season activities for kids,
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: or maybe we'll just keep pushing this back out every
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: week until eternity. But yeah, this is I think that
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: we've had a we've had a bloody good episode. We
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: have always a body good episode. We need to go
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: and practice our pelvic floor muscle exercises. If you're on
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: a plane this week, don't feel the need to put
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: your seat back on a short haul flight. That's okay.
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: You can have your seat upright. That's what we can
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: all manage.
• 44:56
  Speaker 3: That sounds like it happened a few times. My god.
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: You know in New Zealand A Zealand flights, you can't
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: recline your seats on this short haul international. Yeah, I
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: think so too. I mean, I do like to take
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: it just fractionally off vertical. But it's also like, you know,
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: this woman in front of me, it is like you look around.
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: You are the only one reclining your seat on a
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: Sydney to Brisbane flight. My other thing is, feel free
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: not to put your phone on speaker phone when you're
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: having a phone call in public. Feel free to use
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: use the old school or put some headphones on because
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: we're not interested in that noteting.
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: That's excellent life of life tips anyway.

• 46:08
  Speaker 2: in the semi finals, so they made it through to
