  Speaker 1: You're listening to a DM podcast.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: We'll try to keep it as nice as we can,
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: but you might hear the occasional swear word in No Dribble.
• 0:07
  Speaker 3: Don't tell mom.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: Hello, welcome to No Dribble. We have not blown away
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: down here. We're here, Cath and I I'm Carolyn.
• 0:28
  Speaker 4: Hi, I'm Kath. Yeah, I'm still.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: Here and in exciting news like everyone's got pretty bad
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: things to say about ex tropical cyclone Alfred, and quite rightly,
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: but there is one good thing. It means Lizellus's meetings
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: in Brisbane were canceled, so we get to have her today.
• 0:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 0:44
  Speaker 5: Hello, I'm sitting in the very wet part of the
• 0:48
  Speaker 5: world at the moment. There's no wind, but there's man,
• 0:51
  Speaker 5: there's a lot of rain.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: Now, you missed the bulk of this because you were
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: in Sydney for work and you were meant to fly,
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: but you ended up driving down so you stayed a
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: few days extra.
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: But what was going on up there?
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: Because Matthew was without power for a long time, wasn't
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: he he was?
• 1:06
  Speaker 5: So on Wednesday I had a job on Thursday and
• 1:09
  Speaker 5: my client had very kindly offered to pay for an
• 1:13
  Speaker 5: apartment for me and the kids for a few days,
• 1:15
  Speaker 5: and when we wake up on Wednesday, all the schools
• 1:18
  Speaker 5: were closed. So they canceled school on Wednesday for the
• 1:21
  Speaker 5: rest of the week because of the cyclone. So I
• 1:24
  Speaker 5: went and wake the kids up and said, right, pack
• 1:26
  Speaker 5: your bags, right a road trip.
• 1:28
  Speaker 6: This was as a kid, Can we cancel school please?
• 1:33
  Speaker 5: Yeah, school was canceled and this cyclone hit that we
• 1:36
  Speaker 5: would have no power because we live in a rural
• 1:39
  Speaker 5: area and as soon as there's when the trees go
• 1:42
  Speaker 5: into the power lines, we'd have no power. So when
• 1:44
  Speaker 5: we've had East Coast lows before, which are very similar
• 1:47
  Speaker 5: to this current weather event, we just lose power for days,
• 1:50
  Speaker 5: which is just horrible when you've got two kids in
• 1:53
  Speaker 5: the house, one of whom particularly likes to run around
• 1:55
  Speaker 5: a lot, and there's no way to keep him amuse.
• 1:57
  Speaker 5: So I was like, right, get in the car and
• 1:59
  Speaker 5: thanks fully, because of the thirty five thousand kilometers we
• 2:02
  Speaker 5: drove in twenty twenty two with the caravan on the back,
• 2:04
  Speaker 5: my kids are capable of just sitting in the car
• 2:06
  Speaker 5: for hours at a time. So we drove to Sydney,
• 2:09
  Speaker 5: went and got our haircut.
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: And we had a fabulous.
• 2:14
  Speaker 5: Why thank you, But you can't see because I don't
• 2:16
  Speaker 5: have enough internet bandwidth at the moment here because of
• 2:19
  Speaker 5: the weather to turn my camera on. And so we
• 2:22
  Speaker 5: just had a couple of days in Sydney. We went
• 2:25
  Speaker 5: to the art gallery, and we went to the aquarium,
• 2:29
  Speaker 5: and we went to the Swanies with Coxie and we
• 2:32
  Speaker 5: had a heap of fun. And then on Saturday morning,
• 2:35
  Speaker 5: I woke up and the cyclone was supposed to hit
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: on Saturday, but it had moved significantly north and all
• 2:43
  Speaker 5: the forecast was heavy rain. But when I looked at
• 2:45
  Speaker 5: the radar, it just looked like there was a little gap.
• 2:47
  Speaker 5: And I said to the kids, right, let's get in
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: the car and go, and if we feel like there's
• 2:54
  Speaker 5: it's too dicey, we'll just pull up. We've got rallies
• 2:57
  Speaker 5: in Coffs Harbor, we got rellies on the central coast.
• 2:58
  Speaker 5: So I had plot all these bail out points along
• 3:01
  Speaker 5: the road, but we just got so lucky. We drove
• 3:04
  Speaker 5: all the way home on Saturday, and we drove through
• 3:07
  Speaker 5: a few showers and the only time it got dicey
• 3:10
  Speaker 5: was when I turned off the highway to come the
• 3:12
  Speaker 5: ten kilometers into our place, and it was just a
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: bit windy, and there was some trees down that had
• 3:17
  Speaker 5: been moved by the sees. But we got home. So
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: you know, my philosophy is very much in the camp
• 3:23
  Speaker 5: of if it's flooded, forget it. If it's too wet,
• 3:25
  Speaker 5: forget and if it's too windy, forget it. So I
• 3:27
  Speaker 5: had bail at points, but we got home. But now
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: it was like we got home and the heavens and
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: waded and as soon as we got home it just
• 3:33
  Speaker 5: bucketed down. And it's bucketed down now for the last
• 3:36
  Speaker 5: sort of thirty six hours.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: You are are we need to put this on your
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: list of jobs to do, so, Governor General. And then
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: when you're done with that, meteorologist, because here's you.
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: Looking at the bomb. Oh there's a little gap there.
• 3:50
  Speaker 5: Low.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: I know when she got in the car to Lever
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: thought there's no way, there's no way in the world
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: she's getting home if she's not driving intrrential rain.
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: And then I kept texting you because.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: I thought, sure, you'll get home if you do get
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: that far, and you'll get to the bottom of your
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: driveway and realize you can't get to the house because
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: it's flooded in. So I've absolutely gob smacked you made it.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: I was going to say, Matthew would have rigged up
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: some reverse flying fox to get you home, because he's.
• 4:15
  Speaker 6: Very handy, isn't he.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: So he was at home with no power all this time,
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: and you guys are spawning around in Sydney.
• 4:22
  Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, but don't feel sorry. Sorry. I had peace,
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: he had quiet, and our cyclone shelter is our cellar. Yo.
• 4:28
  Speaker 5: He's a little dent in that, so he was fine. Yeah.
• 4:33
  Speaker 5: So but do you know why I can. I know
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: how to read like the bomb and to look at
• 4:38
  Speaker 5: all the rain radar and everything. It's from doing bloody
• 4:41
  Speaker 5: netball clinics all those years. And you go, oh my god,
• 4:46
  Speaker 5: if I don't cancel it now, I'm going to have
• 4:48
  Speaker 5: three hundred parents yelling at me because I got their
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: kids wet. But if I do cancel it now, I'm
• 4:52
  Speaker 5: going to have one hundred and eighty parents yelling at
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: me because they've got to go to work and what
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: are they going to do with their kids? So I mean,
• 4:57
  Speaker 5: choosing to drive home with my kids is not stressful
• 5:00
  Speaker 5: compared to running netfish.
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: My god, no wonder that a shelf life.
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: Hey, yeah I did, but I got to say it.
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: We met like I wouldn't. This is true, This is true,
• 5:13
  Speaker 5: but I'm going to say I wouldn't. Like I didn't
• 5:15
  Speaker 5: take the responsibility of driving home on Saturday lightly, and
• 5:19
  Speaker 5: I wouldn't have done it if I didn't have a
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: bailout point to stay at every hour. It rang a
• 5:24
  Speaker 5: heap of relatives all the way along the highway and
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: said if it gets hairy, we're stopping for a night
• 5:29
  Speaker 5: or two. And they're all yet, oh fine about that.
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: So we just had a plan. And as it turned out,
• 5:34
  Speaker 5: we got home and the water had been right up
• 5:37
  Speaker 5: over our driveway and we've got I've got a bit
• 5:38
  Speaker 5: of damage. We've lost a chicken, just one.
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: Sure that's the only casualty. Well, they're only twenty nine dollars.
• 5:48
  Speaker 6: We now know this.
• 5:49
  Speaker 5: Well that was cheap. But we've also lost a pecan tree,
• 5:53
  Speaker 5: which might not seem like march, but it fell across
• 5:56
  Speaker 5: Matthew's his pride and joy, which are his cattle yards,
• 5:59
  Speaker 5: which he built by hand from recycling materials over about
• 6:02
  Speaker 5: three years, and it's just smashed about a quarter of them.
• 6:05
  Speaker 5: So he and I drove down there yesterday and he
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: was nearly crying, and we have to keep reminding ourselves
• 6:10
  Speaker 5: that we are really fortunate, Like, yes, we don't have
• 6:13
  Speaker 5: anything else down. We've got friends who trees have fallen
• 6:17
  Speaker 5: down and you know, hit sheds and clipped houses, and
• 6:21
  Speaker 5: I know in Brisbane that there's been significant damage. So
• 6:24
  Speaker 5: we just keep saying that we're really fortunate. If the
• 6:26
  Speaker 5: worst that happens is that we've lost a couple of
• 6:28
  Speaker 5: fences in the carter yards, we're okay.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, my mum and dad lost power for three days,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: like they lost it really really early. They only got
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: it back at three point thirty this morning, and we've
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: had no contact with them at all, but they've had
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: no phone service either, and it's been really scary, not
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: knowing how they're going on, what's going on. And I
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: spoke to them this morning finally, and I'm like, was
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: that the toughest three days ever? Dad's like, yeah, we
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: have been eating cold stuff out of the fridge because
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: they've had no way of heating anything up. And the
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: first thing you did this morning was making cup of
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: tea something that was hot. But otherwise they've been fine.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: They're just going to bed. They said it was a
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: bit scary because they had no way of knowing what
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: was going on because a television, radio or yeah.
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: But aside from that, it was quite quite weird, though,
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: was it? So Today's Monday?
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: We record on a Monday And for days and days
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: everybody up there was just on teinerhooks that it's like,
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: when is this coming. I did see something very funny
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: on Instagram and it was a photo of a guy
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: with showing blue sky and he's in Brisbane and he
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: said Alfred coming in like the Sydney Swan's at the
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: Grand Final and then his zoom's out and he's got
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: a Brisbane lines jersey on.
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: People don't wait long to get the memes out do though.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: The funniest one I saw was all around men basically,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: and it said, honestly, a female cyclone would have had
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: this done and dusted by now. This guy has stopped
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: at the pub, gone fishing and told his family he'll
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: do it tomorrow.
• 7:52
  Speaker 5: That is so true and that's been the hardest part, right.
• 7:55
  Speaker 5: So I have to say that in the twenty twenty
• 7:58
  Speaker 5: two floods, it rained for days and it was like
• 8:02
  Speaker 5: no one really cared, whereas in need because everyone's learnt
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: their lessons. So you know, as we headed south on Wednesday,
• 8:10
  Speaker 5: we saw the Army driving north, we saw the Sees
• 8:13
  Speaker 5: driving north. The Prime Minister was in Brisbane, Premier was
• 8:16
  Speaker 5: in Lismore, and so we had all of this fantastic
• 8:19
  Speaker 5: prep and then it hasn't eventuated to be as bad.
• 8:23
  Speaker 5: And I did see someone winging about it and I
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: thought absolutely not, Like, I'm so grateful that all this
• 8:29
  Speaker 5: effort was putting in to prepare, Like the Army. The
• 8:33
  Speaker 5: people who drove up from the Sees had to leave
• 8:35
  Speaker 5: their families and you be up here over a wet weekend,
• 8:39
  Speaker 5: not knowing what sort of danger they were going to face.
• 8:41
  Speaker 5: And there was a terrible accident with a couple of
• 8:42
  Speaker 5: army trucks just outside of Lismore. So I'm actually really
• 8:46
  Speaker 5: grateful that the prep wasn't there, And I would so
• 8:50
  Speaker 5: much rather this situation where everyone was prepped and the
• 8:55
  Speaker 5: damage wasn't as bad. Yeah as first thought, then in
• 8:59
  Speaker 5: twenty twenty two when no one was prepped and the
• 9:01
  Speaker 5: damage was horrific. So I am really grateful. I'm grateful
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: to little call out to the Sees, to the Army
• 9:07
  Speaker 5: for being on standby and actually to Essential Energy who
• 9:10
  Speaker 5: have just when you saw the map. I saw the
• 9:12
  Speaker 5: map on Friday morning of just the outages that were
• 9:15
  Speaker 5: just everywhere, and so much of them has been clear.
• 9:18
  Speaker 5: And when I was driving home, you could see that
• 9:20
  Speaker 5: was like trees chopped up to get them off power lines.
• 9:24
  Speaker 5: And so it's just been a mammoth effort by all
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: the different agencies to make sure that we didn't see
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: a repeat of twenty twenty two.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: And they knew you were going home too, right because
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: the power came on moments before you called in the driveway.
• 9:38
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I rang Matthew and I said, I mean, coughs.
• 9:40
  Speaker 5: Do you want me to get anything and bring it home?
• 9:41
  Speaker 5: And he said, just electricity. And as we came home
• 9:44
  Speaker 5: in the electricity case, I actually I was trying to
• 9:48
  Speaker 5: grace out my daughter. And he said, oh, if you
• 9:51
  Speaker 5: just bring electricity, and I said, oh, babe, we can
• 9:53
  Speaker 5: make that when we get high. And she was just
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: like it was like she couldn't scratch her ears off
• 10:01
  Speaker 5: quick enough. She just wanted to scratch hery is off
• 10:03
  Speaker 5: and put her fingers in her brain and clean out
• 10:05
  Speaker 5: that little memory of what I just said. She was
• 10:07
  Speaker 5: just so grossed out.
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: Hey Li's question without notice.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: We've already talked about you being the future Governor General,
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: but you met the current Governor General last week while
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: you were down here.
• 10:21
  Speaker 6: You had some big news we did, so.
• 10:23
  Speaker 5: The Governor General Sam Mustin has agreed to be the
• 10:25
  Speaker 5: patron of Netball Australia. So exciting and so we got
• 10:30
  Speaker 5: to go. Yeah, it's so cool. We got to go
• 10:32
  Speaker 5: and meet her. And at Government House a couple of
• 10:34
  Speaker 5: weeks ago there was Stacy West who's our CEO, and
• 10:37
  Speaker 5: myself and we gave her. I don't know if you
• 10:40
  Speaker 5: saw it on socials there was a beautiful framed diamonds
• 10:43
  Speaker 5: dress and the patch said GG Sam not it. So
• 10:47
  Speaker 5: that's the Governor General position. So look to have someone
• 10:51
  Speaker 5: like the Governor General be a patron of our sport.
• 10:55
  Speaker 5: It's just so important from a recognition point of view,
• 10:59
  Speaker 5: shows great confidence in the sport and where we're heading.
• 11:02
  Speaker 5: Sam Mustin is just an amazing human being. And I
• 11:05
  Speaker 5: thought we were just going to Government House to have
• 11:06
  Speaker 5: a nice cup of tea, but we ended up having
• 11:09
  Speaker 5: got on the terms with the GG. Oh God, I wish.
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: You got to have the GT with.
• 11:17
  Speaker 5: With the GG. Yes, and I don't know if you
• 11:19
  Speaker 5: noticed her suit, it was very on point. It was
• 11:21
  Speaker 5: that beautiful green. So but she's just like we sat
• 11:25
  Speaker 5: and had a full strategy session. She's just amazing, Like, yeah,
• 11:29
  Speaker 5: she wanted to know how the sport was tracking and
• 11:31
  Speaker 5: what we're doing and what we're up to, and yeah, she's.
• 11:34
  Speaker 6: Just she's got a very good business brain.
• 11:37
  Speaker 5: She does super bright, super genuine, really invested in the
• 11:41
  Speaker 5: sport And yeah, I think it's just such a massive
• 11:45
  Speaker 5: win for us that she was prepared to become the patron.
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well done, all right, well done, Liz Ellison.
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: Yes, you know what's funny, Liz, So our listeners can't
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: see this, but each week we look at the TV
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: because you're on screen and we're having a three way conversation.
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: You're on we can't see you because you've got unstable
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: internet thanks to ex tropical cyclone Alfred. But Cath and
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: I are still looking at the screen as though we
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: can see where we're sitting side by side and not
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: looking at one another, and it's like all we've got
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: is this little bit where your when your volume goes
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: up and down when you're speaking.
• 12:17
  Speaker 6: We're looking at that as though it's you. It's like
• 12:19
  Speaker 6: we're just like train chimps.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: It just reminds me of all the years I used
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: to room with her and chat in the middle of
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: the night darkness, Vogund, that's comforting.
• 12:30
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm going to try to look at you.
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: Well I'm over there.
• 12:33
  Speaker 6: Yeah, oh, I know.
• 12:34
  Speaker 5: That's the thing.
• 12:34
  Speaker 6: I could look at you on the television, but I
• 12:37
  Speaker 6: could actually look at you in real life. Irl.
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: Can you tell us?
• 12:41
  Speaker 6: Can you tell us about your weekend?
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: I had a great weekend.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: So aside from catching up with Miss Elizabeth and the
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: children at the footy, My kids did not watch. I
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: took Harper and a friend of hers. They watched maybe
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: thirty seconds of the game because there were games, there
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: was a reaction machine, there was a face pain lady,
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: it was dessert bars the work, So they didn't watch it.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: Your kids, though, they sat there and watched every second
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: of the game. They're so into it, Liz, they are.
• 13:11
  Speaker 5: Yeah, they loved it. Although by the by three quart
• 13:14
  Speaker 5: a time when he realized that the Swans might not win,
• 13:17
  Speaker 5: Austin was out, but everyone sat and watched the whole lot. Yeah,
• 13:20
  Speaker 5: they're just sports mad.
• 13:22
  Speaker 6: Yeah, so good.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: Anyway, So We did that, and then we spoke about
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: last week. I was doing a stay ca with Harper
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: on Saturday night in the city, which was great, so
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: we went in. We had young Charlies was going to
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: meet us, but instead she jumped in the car and
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: drove home more dumplings for us.
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: When did a beer shopping? When did him export myself
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: a book? Saw that halfway through it? Can it down? Yeah,
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: it's great.
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: That was Wow.
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: It's a tough read though, Geez, that story is not great.
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: Did any of the.
• 13:49
  Speaker 6: Dribblers have any feedback for you on your new fan
• 13:53
  Speaker 6: desire to start reading IoT.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: I'm going to mention everybody's been very supportive. Yeah, and
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: given me a lot of great books that I should
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: go to. We won't talk about that. One person that
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: said I might have been a slow reader, a slow learner,
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: slow reader?
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: What was the wording be the way? I felt like
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: it was a smack on the chop.
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: No, it was encouragement for your choice of reading materials.
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: So this is obviously someone who's been in the education
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: system a long time, and for the slower readers, they
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: would recommend find a book about something that you are
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: interested in, at which you have done, and now you
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: are halfway through that.
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: Book, right into it. But I didn't need to be
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: called slow in brackets endorsment of your decision making. But
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: it was fun, dear anyway. So we did that.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: But then we get to the hotel room and there
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: was a moment right overnight. So I don't know about
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: you guys, but I struggled to sleep the first night
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: in a hotel room because there's generally air conditioning, and
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: you're trying.
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: To there's this light, a red light somewhere, and you go,
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: what is that? Yeah, it's generally the rushing fire. Yeah,
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: whatever it is. But I struggle to sleep.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: It's pillows, it's the heavy doerners, it's not the temperature
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: is not right on the air conditioner. If it takes
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: me a couple of days to start to get my
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: sleep in my pattern and stuff right. Anyway, So at midnight,
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: I'm still awake and I hear the neighboring room come home.
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: This is a Saturday night, so they've been out and
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: had a good time whatever.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: Not long after, things start to sound a little intimate
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: and making electricity. They are making all sorts of electricity
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: and it gets very loud, like at this stage, there's
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: claps of thunder so loud that I actually got out
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: of bed and I walked to the peep hole at
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: the front door because it sounded like they were at
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: our door in the hallway.
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: It was that loud.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: They weren't, sadly, because I probably would have stayed there
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: and had a little sticky bit. Anyway, I went back
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: to bed, and I'm mining they're thinking, Oh God, all
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: I need is for halfway to wake up at this
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: point because the questions will come for sure.
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: Anyway, they got through, they did their business, and I thought,
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: oh thank god. Half an hour later it started again.
• 16:08
  Speaker 5: And was just as later showing off.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: They well, whatever was happening, they were having a great time. Anyway,
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: I thought at that point, I need to be on
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: my toes in the morning because if they've done this
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: twice already, for sure when they wake up in the morning,
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: they're going to have another crack and Harper will be awake.
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: At that point.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: So I've really got to be on my toes with
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: this because I don't want to have to answer the questions.
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: That are going to come.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: Anyways, in the morning, I woke up. First thing I
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: did put the turn on the TV. Television's on. She's
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: in the bathroom, just doing your hair because we were
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: about to go down to breakfast, and it starts again
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: and I could hear it slowly picking up. So I
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: turned the telly up really loud, and then I'm.
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: Like, so, buddy, what do you want to do today?
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: Started singing. The telly was right up.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: She goes, mumas to Telly so loud, so actually woke
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: up my ears a bit pop, like it's a bit blocked.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: This is all going on in the back. I'm just
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: trying to make this noise over the top of it.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: Fortunately she did not hear. But why are the walls
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: so thin in hotels? I mean, you can't hear people conversing,
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: but then you can hear that stuff like it's happening
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: in your own rooms.
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: I always think it's interesting how they designed the room
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: so that the bedheads go head to head on either
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: side of the wars. You could actually run them parallel,
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: couldn't you, so that you are each your heads as
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: far away from the next room as possible.
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but I mean there was no banging on the
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: walls or anything like that. It was just the noise
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: you would then be further away from them.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah, So aside from that, it was a fun weekend
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: and uneventful.
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: So what was interesting last week when you were telling
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: us that you were going to do this, is you
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: won this through a WSFM competition.
• 17:47
  Speaker 6: Yes, that I think was deeply rigged.
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: Anyway, So when we got off air last week and
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: our producer said, I'm devastated to learn that these competitions
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: are rigged, and just that one and look at well
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: have been you may well have won it on merit M.
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: You have a history of winning WSFM competitions.
• 18:07
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I well, me and my family have won two
• 18:11
  Speaker 7: big ones that I maybe I would say has changed
• 18:13
  Speaker 7: the course of my life. Wow, it's my favorite radio station,
• 18:18
  Speaker 7: by the way.
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: I love it.
• 18:20
  Speaker 7: But when I was fifteen, I was so obsessed with
• 18:24
  Speaker 7: it and I wanted to work in music or radio
• 18:27
  Speaker 7: or something. So I entered a competition to co host
• 18:31
  Speaker 7: the show for an hour on WSFM with Ronnie Sparks
• 18:34
  Speaker 7: I don't know if you remember him.
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: Oh, and I won.
• 18:39
  Speaker 5: So I had to send in Like to.
• 18:41
  Speaker 7: Win, you had to send in six songs that you
• 18:45
  Speaker 7: would program if you were one of the WSFM hosts
• 18:48
  Speaker 7: and so I was choosing things like the Beatles in excess,
• 18:52
  Speaker 7: the Rolling Stones, I think, the Beach Boys, all very
• 18:55
  Speaker 7: original tracks. And then I got a phone call to
• 18:58
  Speaker 7: say had won, and I think my little voice came
• 19:01
  Speaker 7: through the other side of the phone and.
• 19:02
  Speaker 6: I was like yay, and they were like, how old
• 19:04
  Speaker 6: are you?
• 19:05
  Speaker 5: I said fifteen.
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: I can't wait to do this.
• 19:08
  Speaker 7: So I'm not sure if they regretted it, but I've
• 19:09
  Speaker 7: still got the audio of my one hour on WSFM,
• 19:13
  Speaker 7: and I decided I wanted to be in radio and
• 19:16
  Speaker 7: now I'm on the other side of things now. And
• 19:18
  Speaker 7: the second one was my parents sent it a competition
• 19:22
  Speaker 7: to have James Rain perform in their backyards to a
• 19:28
  Speaker 7: group of friends.
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: Amazing, how did now did they tell the friends or
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: did the friends just come over for a barbecue?
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: Next minute James Rain pops up.
• 19:36
  Speaker 7: They told the friends and they were so popular amongst
• 19:39
  Speaker 7: our friendship group, their friendship group for a very long
• 19:41
  Speaker 7: time because it was only so many people. It's decent
• 19:44
  Speaker 7: and probably about forty people or something like that, but
• 19:47
  Speaker 7: it was for their thirty fifth anniversary. I feel like
• 19:51
  Speaker 7: it is so I think they they told a story
• 19:54
  Speaker 7: about like meeting when they were eighteen dancing to James
• 19:57
  Speaker 7: Rain as their first dance, and they'd love to have
• 19:59
  Speaker 7: a circle moment, have them come and back.
• 20:02
  Speaker 5: It was the best.
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: You've got to be in it to win it, though,
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: because you have one of a couple of crackers as well.
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so I've won a couple of big competitions, but
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: I've also won competitions at sun Corps Super Neple Games.
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: You know that they've got the things up on the
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: big screen. Answer a trivia question and win a valaboucher.
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: I won it twice in one season. So you got
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: to enter these things because I think oftentimes not as
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: many people.
• 20:24
  Speaker 6: Into because it's harping.
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I won a trip to Antarctica and a
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: trip to Alaska separately, So separately, different competition.
• 20:34
  Speaker 6: Different competition.
• 20:36
  Speaker 5: What was that?
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: So the first one was with I don't think it
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: exists anymore travel dot com dot au and that was
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: a this was back in the last century, children, and
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: it was a five hundred word right your travel moment
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: of the millennium. So I wrote about a theater I
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: went to in Japan called the Tuckarazaka Review, which was fabulous,
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: and then the Alaska one was a discovery every Channel
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: one and they discovered some mummies in the Aleutian Islands
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: off Alaska, and it was you know, this one was
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: three words and how would you feel if you encountered
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: a mummy in real life?
• 21:09
  Speaker 6: And I think that you know, everyone went all scared. Sushi.
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: Well, I said, hydrated, young and active. So it's and
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: I got this trip to Alaska so smart. And both
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: were interestingly, both were trips for one person. And I
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: was married at that stage, not happily. And it was
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: it was those two trips on my own that made
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: me really have time to reflect and get away and go,
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: this is not where I should be in my life.
• 21:37
  Speaker 6: And so yeah, wow, your life was changed by competitions.
• 21:41
  Speaker 6: It was, it was differently, Yeah, so.
• 21:44
  Speaker 5: What sort of competitions like, it's funny normally it's a
• 21:48
  Speaker 5: trip for two. Yeah, I a bizarre you reckon to
• 21:50
  Speaker 5: have a trip for one.
• 21:51
  Speaker 6: I know, And both of them were a trip for one.
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but that's why she entered them too, well maybe subconsciously.
• 21:57
  Speaker 6: Who knows to get away?
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: Well, tickets on the radio, it was a postcode, so
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: they do a random postcode. The first people to ring
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: up and say what suburb it was. But going to
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: the Men in Black premiere did not change my life.
• 22:10
  Speaker 4: I did it not so sadly.
• 22:12
  Speaker 6: Although what are you wearing now? Well you're all in black?
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that might have influenced your fashioning sothetic. I was
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: at a Heart Kids ball and my there was the
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: third prize in the raffle, and I just knew I
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: was going to win it. It was a ten kilo
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: block of chocolate dairy milk, and I thought, I'm going
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: to win that. And it was the size of a
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: small door, this thing, and so I went up. I'm
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: all dolled up, you know, the long dress and the
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: high heels, and I went up, and because I'm hilarious, obviously,
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: I pretended it was really heavy when I picked it up,
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: and then I overbalanced and I ended up on my
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: back on.
• 22:46
  Speaker 6: The dance floor.
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: Six hundred people there, pinned down by this small door
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: of chocolate.
• 22:53
  Speaker 6: So I just started to bench press it and then
• 22:56
  Speaker 6: I got up and I danced.
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: That would be many people's fantasy to have a tank here,
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: like life sized chocolate on.
• 23:04
  Speaker 5: Top of that, that's outstanding. Well, the only thing I
• 23:09
  Speaker 5: ever had one is the meat Raffle at Ballina rs L.
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: Have you won any I was going to say, a
• 23:15
  Speaker 4: few World Cups. That's so easy.
• 23:17
  Speaker 5: It's not luck. You've got to work for that.
• 23:19
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: There's nothing wrong with a meat raffle. It's actually.
• 23:24
  Speaker 6: It is so fun.
• 23:25
  Speaker 4: The problem is when you're there, though, you do buy
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: a bazillion fish itself.
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: That's not lucky.
• 23:30
  Speaker 6: The tickets for thirty.
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: It's a happy day.
• 23:35
  Speaker 5: God. But I'm married to a meat tray, so you know,
• 23:37
  Speaker 5: like it's like, well, we've got plenty of beef at home,
• 23:40
  Speaker 5: so bad I get to take more beef home.
• 23:44
  Speaker 6: Just not touching that.
• 23:48
  Speaker 5: It's true dirty.
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: I can't help it.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: All right, moving on movie, right along, let's not touch
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: that anymore. I'm excited about netball on the weekend.
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah good.
• 24:06
  Speaker 6: I was going to say, maybe we're so team Girls
• 24:09
  Speaker 6: Cup this weekend.
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: Yes, very excited. Starts on Friday, So there's four games
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: Friday night. First one to kick us off is the
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: Fever and the Firebirds, which a full length game.
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: No they're not. They're ten minute quarters yep.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: So there's a game every hour on the hour, which
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: will be fantastic, and all of the games are live
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: on KO and Foxhill and Binge which is even better.
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: So there's lots of ways you can watch the games
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: and watch the live. But if you sit down Friday night,
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: that's four hours and netball burn, you're welcome.
• 24:37
  Speaker 4: We've got it sorted for you.
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: And then all day Saturday and Sunday is only finals
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: and that they will start from one o'clock and you
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: have to you basically just cross over and play whoever's
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: come in the same position in the other pool. That's
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: how the finalsill work. So the first game will be
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: fourth from Pool A versus fourth from Pool B until
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: you get to one v one on the final at
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: four o'clock on Sunday. But if if you're in Adelaide
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: or you've got the funds to fly at Adelaide, get
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: down there because it's the first time you'll see all
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: eight teams in the one place. All of the teams
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: have got signing sessions right throughout the weekend, so you
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: can go and meet all the players, your favorite teams
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: all the rest of it. It will be a fantastic
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: weekend and that's happening at Neble SA Stadium in Raudglode.
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: Fantastic, So all the teams are in the finals then,
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: so all teams will play finals.
• 25:26
  Speaker 4: You know, as we discussed last week, fourth versus.
• 25:29
  Speaker 5: Do you want to win it? Though?
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: I think there's always a I mean, I don't think
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: the teams will be going in to win it. I
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: don't know that that's necessarily what everybody's goal will be,
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: so much as let's use this as an opportunity to
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: get as many people on the court, try new combinations,
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: test out what we've got, new plays we've been working
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: on in the preseason against quality opposition. I don't think
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: people will be wanting to give away too much of
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: what's up their sleeves ahead of the season. But you know,
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: we've seen, as we spoke about it was the Swifts
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: one pre season last year, and that didn't turn into
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: anything once the big season started. So I don't know
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: how much you can take from the actual winner of it,
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: but it'll certainly, I think, give us a good first
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: look or second look at some of the new combos
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: and new players, and that's exciting. Oh last so many
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: I want to see Grace Weki with Verity, but I'm
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: also really key to see Mary Cholock.
• 26:24
  Speaker 4: Can't wait to see what she does with.
• 26:26
  Speaker 5: The Firebirds for Firebirds.
• 26:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, yeah, heaps so many players.
• 26:30
  Speaker 5: I'm looking forward to seeing Mavericks with close to their
• 26:32
  Speaker 5: full strength lineup after they had some just terrific injuries.
• 26:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah, tough season for them.
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: I just saw Kim Jenner posting a photo of her
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: new Mavericks uniform with her new surname on it because
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: there was a few weddings in the off season.
• 26:45
  Speaker 6: Well, that's going to mess you.
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: It's now brown, so at least it's easy.
• 26:50
  Speaker 6: And she's double barreling.
• 26:51
  Speaker 4: No, she's not double barreling. She's just brown. Yep, So
• 26:54
  Speaker 4: Kim Brown.
• 26:55
  Speaker 6: I would have stayed with Jenna.
• 27:02
  Speaker 5: I mean, when you're a commentator, you see players get married,
• 27:04
  Speaker 5: you're like, please don't change it, Please don't.
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: Ah, she's changing.
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's exactly what what I said this morning to
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: myself when I saw her new uniforms.
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: Another one, But it doesn't.
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: So after Team Girls Cup though, something very exciting happens
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: in the world of No Dribble. So we've talked about this, well,
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: we've we flagged it last week and I think everyone's
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: guessed it on Facebook anyway. But yes, we have a
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: No Dribble tipping comp Yeah, it's very exciting. So thanks
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: to our friends at vala This is why Cath and
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: I are all dolled up in our Vali gear today.

• 31:44
  Speaker 5: it as menopausal saggy. Oh there, you don't know, you
• 31:47
  Speaker 5: keep going.
• 31:48
  Speaker 6: We were just it only matters what the meat tray thinks.

  Speaker 2: where would you sit on Lizzalis. I like to sit
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: outside when I can, at the back, but.
• 32:24
  Speaker 6: Sometimes we were.
• 32:25
  Speaker 4: Very pretty though, and I actually stood there from it.
• 32:27
  Speaker 4: I took a photo.
• 32:28
  Speaker 6: You're talking to me then, but anyway you are too, thanks.
• 32:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and slightly needy, but I'm sorry you're learning this

• 32:39
  Speaker 1: I took a photo on I put it on our
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: Facebook Dribbles Facebook page, but I was actually standing there

• 32:48
  Speaker 4: So awesome, amazing, It's amazing, mate, and she's got a fairy.

  Speaker 4: as well.
• 33:19
  Speaker 5: Yes, Nick Livingston does she yeah, yeah.

  Speaker 4: I mean it's a given.
• 33:27
  Speaker 6: Nah.

  Speaker 2: Yeah, So that was nice to see see Liz. Then
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: I guess, yeah, now, how was your weekend? Because you've
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: had a couple of big gigs.
• 33:34
  Speaker 6: I have had a couple of big gigs.
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: I had a fantastic gig on Friday night at the
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: Central Coast Leagues Club.
• 33:39
  Speaker 6: For Gosford Rotary. I really enjoyed.
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: I was really hoping that Alfred might have some weather,
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: which would mean I could stay at home in my
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: pajamas on Friday night. But he didn't come that far south,
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: and I'm so glad that that didn't happen because it
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: was just a fabulous drive up there. A great gig, yeah,
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: always fun and they were raising funds for Orange Sky,
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: which is a fantastic organization that provides laundry services for
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: homeless people.
• 34:04
  Speaker 6: Oh wow, yeah, it's fabulous.
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: You said you go there early and listen to the
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: MC and the work with the crowd and stuff. Now
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: how early when you get there and you listen to that,
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: can you tell if it's a good crowd or not.
• 34:17
  Speaker 6: Almost immediate yes and go, oh my god.
• 34:20
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 34:20
  Speaker 6: Well this was terrific though.
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: So it's a big ballroom and I was up on
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: stage and it's got the full blue velvet curtains and
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: the two guys I was the opening act, and the
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: two guys I was on with said you've got to
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: just throw those curtains apart and come out.
• 34:34
  Speaker 6: And it's like, all right, yeah, I'm going to do that.
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: So I threw the curtains apart and there was a
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: giant banner in front of it, so all I did
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: was basically hit a front like a wall of canvas,
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: and I had to edge my way along and then
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: come out. But it was the first time I've ever
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: worked with an Osland interpreter. Hi everyone, great job and
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: that it's just such a privilege to be able to
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: have that facility available. But it's interesting for me because
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: they said, oh, we've watched a lot of your videos.
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: You talk quite fast. It's like, yeah, no, shit, that's
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: my sorry, I can't do much about that, but yeah.
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: So I had Born there firing away in the background. Wow. Unfortunately,
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: there was one of the guys I was working with
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: had a story about a flamenco dancer and there was
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: no sign for Flamenco.
• 35:23
  Speaker 6: It was a shame he had to just spelled it out.
• 35:25
  Speaker 6: So I wanted to see something cool like that.
• 35:26
  Speaker 5: Oh disappointing.
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: But one thing I did have last week that was
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: a little bit shocking was I've told you how I'm
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: doing all this work on our website and I I
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: have actually got a professional involved, but we've had to
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: take something down because yeah, I have been harassed via
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: the website, so we had I went to enormous pains
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: to set up a facility where you could record a
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: win beneath our Wings nomination and I have been absolutely
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: spammed from one individual and m has kindly put together
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: some of the clips that I got in this that
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: led me to have to take the damn thing down.
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: Yo, Yo, Yo, what's up, Hoochy, what you're doing? I
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: think I might have a hot Cross bun soon. I'm
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: getting a little bit peckish. Nearly two o'clock. Do you
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: think I could have a wine yet? What's your role
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: on drinking on a school night, Carolyn? I just wanted
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: to nominate cap Cox for a wind beneath My Wings
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: just because she's downright awesome, not to mention incredibly good looking,
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: and I mean, the list goes on and there's probably
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: not enough time.
• 36:48
  Speaker 4: There's only forty four seconds left. So that's my nomination,
• 36:52
  Speaker 4: thanks so much.
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: So.
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so that's a selection of the messages that I
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: got from someone who is grossly irresponsible.
• 37:01
  Speaker 6: But so I had to take that down.
• 37:04
  Speaker 4: I was checking to see if it were and I
• 37:06
  Speaker 4: appreciate that, and I didn't know if the first one
• 37:09
  Speaker 4: worked or just better give you a chunk of them.
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: What I loved is how much you were clearly enjoying
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: yourself in that. I did four of them, and then
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: I told Harper what I'd done. She said, well, let
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: me do one as well. That was the chickens.
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: Chickens were one of my favorites actually, So that nomination
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: form will go back up at some stage soon. But
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: I'm just having to deal with the website one step
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: at a time. And as I said, I had to
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: get a professional involved. And I don't mean like a
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: medical professional to deal with my mental health after that harassment,
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: but no, an actual website professional. Anyway, Thank you, Thank you, Katherine,
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: So Liz you heard. Then Catherine nominated Katherine for a
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: wind beneath her wings. I think the arguments that she
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: laid out in summary that she's awesome and good looking.
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: I'm not willing to support that nomination for wind beneath
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: our Wings. Obviously, you can put a contrary vote if
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: you like, and oh, hang on, maybe she could win
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: a scrunchy.
• 38:12
  Speaker 6: No, she would have to wear said scrunchy.
• 38:15
  Speaker 5: This is bairing. This is not going well for you.
• 38:21
  Speaker 4: No, I all about having to wear it. Sorry, Liz, No,
• 38:26
  Speaker 4: there is a rule.
• 38:27
  Speaker 5: If you are one of the people on this podcast
• 38:31
  Speaker 5: and you nominate yourself, you not only have to wear
• 38:33
  Speaker 5: a scrunchy, you have to wear a scrunchy for every
• 38:37
  Speaker 5: nomination that you put in.
• 38:39
  Speaker 4: Well, there was only one.
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: I would have thought she would have to put her
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: hair in pigtails and wear scrunch Yes, so very much.
• 38:45
  Speaker 6: So let's sort that out during the week and.
• 38:48
  Speaker 5: Beneath our Wings.
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: We're very democratic here, Liz all in favor of Liz's motions,
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: say I I I okay. Motion, Carrie Catherine is the
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: wind beneath our wings. This week we'll get two scrunches,
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: which she will wear in pigtails, and there will be photographic.
• 39:04
  Speaker 4: Evidence on the upside. I get a Printhy Wine vouch.
• 39:10
  Speaker 5: You do too?
• 39:11
  Speaker 4: All right, Well, I think that that's probably about all
• 39:14
  Speaker 4: we have time.
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: Last week, you and I went and did a fun
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: podcast after we finished recording this one, didn't we That's

  Speaker 2: I think that's coming out next week. They've got a
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: great interview with Lane Beachley this week.
• 39:29
  Speaker 6: Those were hilarious.
• 39:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that was so funny.
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: I reckon they'd know what to do with the Printhy
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: Wine voucher or t Absolutely so. But have a listen
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: to that if you'd like to know more about Catherine's.
• 39:39
  Speaker 6: Soul or otherwise.
• 39:42
