• 2:02
  Speaker 2: Elizabeth as particularly.
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: After the weekend showed that we are in for a
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: terrific season of netball. Got to say, I didn't see
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: Fever picking up that win, but they did. We'll talk
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: about that in segment two. But something else happened on
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: the weekend that I want to quiz you about you
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: and Catherine. You and Catherine in commentary will very similar outfits.
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: I mean, only your mothers could tell the difference. So
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: I really I just don't know what's going on a
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: white jacket gate.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: Well, i'll tell you what's going on.
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: At ten forty five perth time last night, I got
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: a text from Catherine Cox saying with two photos, one
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: of her, one of me, saying we're twiny. And I'm like,
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: I wasn't even interested in the photos. I'm like, who
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: texts at ten forty five pm perth time, I'm an
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: eight pm bad person, rocket like I'm gone. And then
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: I'm like, ten forty five where you is?
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: She?
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: She's on the Gold Coast. It's like ten eleven to
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: one five in the morning. I don't understand.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: So our dear friend Katherine cops I reckon went out
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: on the town last night potentially picked up who knows
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: or we'll find out. We'll know soon enough. Yes, it
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: was white jacket gate.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: Oh so that got me thinking, I think you both
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: looked resplendent in the white jacket. Got to say when
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: I when I was commentating, there is no way known
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: that I would wear a white jacket, because very soon
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: it would be a white jacket covered in coffee, tea, chocolate,
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: something brown. But so I thought it was brave, but
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: it also got me thinking about wearing the same thing,
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: because have you got so One of the no Dribble
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: recommends a few weeks ago, Carolyn you recommended All Her Fault.
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: I have been watching on Binge Fantastic. I've got one
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: more episode to go, and you know, it's like the
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: last mouthful of a really delicious is it. I don't
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: know that I want to eat it because I don't
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: know that I want it to end. So I've just
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: sort of I watched a binge too on Binge funnily
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: enough on Saturday night, and then I thought, oh, I
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: might just leave it and just think about it for
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: a week and think about it all the ways it
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: might end. But the start of that show, the two
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: main protagonists, the female leads I can't remember their character names,
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: with Sarah Snook and Dakota Fanning. They bond over wearing
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: the same dress to a function. And this week I've
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: also I've also discovered that did you know that four
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: girls who are in year twelve going to formals?
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: And I don't know, however it might be year ten
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: as well.
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: They start up websites when so my niece is heading
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: to is in year twelve and she's heading towards her
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: U twelve formal at the end of this year. And
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: she went shopping for a dress a couple of weeks ago,
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: and I said to my sister, isn't that a bit early,
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: like it's March. Why is she so organized? And she said, no, no, no,
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: you absolutely have to get organized early. And then they
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: take a photo of themselves and crop the head out
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: to remain anonymous, and then they put the dress up
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: on this website so that everyone knows what dress they're wearing,
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: so you don't double up. And I was like, oh,
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: why is that an issue? Because I'm an idiot and
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: I don't know stuff. And she said, and she's a
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: school teacher, my sister, and she said, I have been
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: at formals where two girls have come in and worn
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: the same dress and just looked at each other and
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: laughed their heads off and hung out all night. Now
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: I've been at formers where two girls have walked in
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: and worn the same dress and the tears and it's
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: been a massive drama.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: So this avoids that drama. But I also feel like
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: it avoids the opportunity.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: To become best friends with the person that you were
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: in the same clothes as I discuss I've got I've
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: got a perfect story to tell you off the you.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: Would I So this is not just for everyone listening.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: Sue has not been given any notification of what this
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: story or this chat was going to be about. So
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: this is straight off the top of it is, and
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: it's probably going.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: To embarrass me, but you know, why not on a
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: Monday morning? So perfect? I know school formals because I
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: left school way too early. I hated it. However, this
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: was a few years back in Netball.
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: WA and You'll dinner and I had sort of forgotten
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: that it was in the calendar.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: Don't know why.
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: It wasn't a fever dinner. I remember those things, and
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: annual dinner for Netball WA. I'm like, I've got nothing
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: to wear. Oh my god, what am I going to do?
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: Went to the shops having a Barry Crocker looking looking nothing, nothing,
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: and then seriously, and this is how embarrassing it is.
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: It's a semi formal formal dinner. I went into Jacuba
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: I think that's how you pronounced it, and I saw
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: this pants suit set and I'm like, ah, that's so
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: out there, and no one would pick this to wear
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: to the dinner because you just simply wouldn't right. But
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: I reckon, Sue Gordion could get away with this last minute.
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: I can claim it's last minute. It's a bit glaring
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: and out there.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: So you can pull that off. No one else would
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: do it.
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: I literally walked into the dinner and the first person
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: I saw, the first person I saw, was standing there
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: in the pants suit. And because I arrived slightly late,
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: everybody saw this moment and so you're like.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, do you do?
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: So we went up, we had a hug, and it
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: was like really so it was awkward. I was uncomfortable.
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: But it gets better. Then we go into the dinner
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: and who am I sitting next to? At three hundred
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: and fifty people at the dinner, I'm sitting right next
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: to my bloody twin of the night, the two of us.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: So we had no choice.
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: We just had to sit there and play it off
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: like it was the funniest thing since last bed.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: But I want to tell you it gets even better.
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: Of the three hundred and fifty people at the dinner
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: and two of us sitting there, two of us also
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: had to get up and present on stage that night. No, no, seriously, seriously,
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: thank christ excuse me that I was the first one
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: that got up there so I could own the scene first,
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: the soup first, and then Christa, who happened to be
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: the name of the person wearing the other one.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: She was up there second.
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: It's horrifying, so good on these kids that they're doing
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: this so you don't have to walk into a moment feeling.
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: But then the best way to handle it is to,
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: I guess, own it. I'm not sure I owned it
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: that well. That night I felt uncomfortable and I said
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: to Rose, let's go home.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: I've had enough. I don't want to do Yeah of
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: that suit, Yeah, I was.
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: Called dinner was boring, you know those dinners like oh,
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: thank you, good on Your president speaks good on you,
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: thank you.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: Two outfits from now on, if you're doing.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: If you, if you haven't one in the car the
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: whole time.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: Quick, I'll just turned into my tracksuit.
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: Hey, how good would that be if you could turn up?
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: If I could turn up to the Swiss thirtieth dinner,
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: which I'm seeing in a tracksuit and present, it would
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: be my dream, my dream, so good right?
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: Type of tracksuit?
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: Can you what parachute material that goes swish, Swiss swish
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: as she.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: Walks in the in red and yellow to acknowledge the
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: Swifts to two colors because it is their thirtieth anniversary.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: So I want to see this.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: I want to see this red and yellow tracksuit, taking
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: notes red and yellow.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: And we'll be there. We're going to talk about this later,
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: but I will be at that dinner because when we
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: found out you hosting and clearly listen as will be there.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: I'm like, well, I need to host a table of
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: dribblers at this dinner. So we're just working with Netbulle
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: with the Swifts at the moment about how we're going
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: to do this. But we're going to have a short
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: sharp competition and ten well it won't be ten obviously,
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: it's a table for ten. But I've got a table.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: I'm taking some dribblers with me. We'll have no jobs
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: to do except drink the wine and have the good
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: time together.
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: And heck with the MC and even even better, Oh that's.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: So good, how old? Yes?
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: Well, you know, so we get to hang out, actually
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: all of us, this will be all of us in
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: the same place since the Grand Final.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I can't tell you lunch at this event, though,
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: so can can? Like, we need to take that off
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: the table, because apparently that's something that I need to do,
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: even if it's an entirely inappropriate environment for it.
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: Do you think we all should wear the same thing?
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: You know what?
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: Imagine? Imagine if I all the same outfit that Katherine
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: Cox was wearing, how much shitter I would look in
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: it than she does? So no, I'm going to take
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: that off the table.
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: But look, to be fair, we're all look shitter than Catherine.
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: And once you've accepted that, and then it could be
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: like Catherine looking amazing and then us three just looking
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: Would you do together?
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: Would you do that? Would I just? I mean I
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: don't because I don't care. I'm beyond caring.
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: That's and that's why I was so surprised about the
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: lengths that people go to to not look the same.
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: I think if you walk into somewhere and someone's wearing
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: the same thing, it's like cool, we are both have
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: awesome taste. So that four of us, sure, if you
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: can find the right thing. I think Katherine's going to
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: be hard to convince, but I reckon we can convince her.
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: I was sitting here, and if Coxy was on this
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: this now, she would be like, no way, She's.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: Not here, though, is she She'll find this, She'll she'll
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: find this out when all of the Dribblers find out
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: when this episode goes to air on Wednesday.
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: So yeah, officially take a no dribble vote in the
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: absence of Cato.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: If you look at our partnership agreement, that is actually
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: enough correct, I.
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: Mean the small pre so he's not in the partnership,
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: but you know there's still twos enough, two of three,
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: that's fine.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: So there is the I was going to say when
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: Lizie were talking about this, this dress higher thing, I
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: love that. That is such a I'm not saying I
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: don't think our dresses need to be that fancy that
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: we go to address high place. But I love this
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: as a new yes that I've had in the I
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: don't know, maybe the last ten years, that you don't
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: have to go and buy a bloody ball gown for
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: an event that you're going to and then have it
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: hanging in your cupboard forever hire address for a night.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: I like it. It's so good.
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: I'm just trying to find my sister's message to me
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: because I was just blown away.
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: So it's it's strand of bucks.
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: It gets delivered to her house here with a satchel
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: included for a return, dry cleaning, insurance and higher. How
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: long has this been going on for what we know
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: about it, Yeah, Lizzie might see my niece.
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: She's just turned eighteen.
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: She started her own little business of hiring out the
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: dresses that she's had four different formals, and so she's
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: got her own little online Instagram site and just hires
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: her own dresses, dry cleans, it delivers, et cetera, et cetera.
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: So great little side business just for kids that are
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: spending fortunes on these beautiful, beautiful dresses to go to
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: the various formals they go to when they're sixteen, seventeen,
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: and eighteen years of age.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: Such a good idea.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: You want it into five years later?
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: Great four three, So it's well, if it's us, it's
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: twenty minutes. And also saving the planet one dress at
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: a time, because it's not stuff's being recycled. I think
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: it's fabulous. Even if you do have to sort out
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: your dress in March for a November event.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: I think that's something that's a little bit sad though
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: that's fallen out of fashion since my school formal in
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: nineteen eighty six. Is and a number of weddings that
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: I was a bridesmaid for in the following decade. Member
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: used to take a pair of shitty court shoes with
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: the fabric of the dress, and you'd go to a
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: shoemaker and they'd cover your lovely court shoe in the
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: fabric the raw silk, chan tongue or whatever it was,
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: so your shoes would exactly match your bride'smaid dress.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: Good time. I don't remember that.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: Maybe it's just a thing, but it happened quite a lot.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: And then of course you go, I'm not going to
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: trash a good pair of shoes for this, So you
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: would go to a discount show. You'd buy the cheapest
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: shoes you could buy, which then of course would ruin
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: your night or ruin your feet for the next month,
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: because it's like, well, I'm going to get these covered.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: I'll never wear them. I'll wear the worst shoes possible
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: and I won't be able to hobble around. Oh I'm sorry,
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: I thought that only happened in movies. Is this happening
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: in Brisbane? It's Brisbane. And this is the nineties too,
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about so not just the eighties, where we
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: know many horrors lie, but the nineties was also bad.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: Wow, I liked Sue.
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: I think you might have just gestured to this, but
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: the course I remember, Yes, that's what I was thinking.
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, I think that's died. I think it's gone
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: the parents, which is fire the moment. Yeah, the awkwardness.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: A bunch of flowers for his formal date last year,
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: and I thought much better. So yeah, corsaches. It's it's
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: quite a strange looking thing too, Like here's my outfit, now,
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: let's put some baby's breath on it. Tradition, good tradition.
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: Well.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: I would usually save this until No Dribble recommends at
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: the end of the episode, but I have just watched
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: Bridgeton season four, speaking of lovely long dresses and the life.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: I thought it started slowly, but he's the best season
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: since season one.
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: I was having this debate with my makeup with our
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: makeup artist yesterday here in Perth before the game.
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: She said, Oh, I've just finished Bridgeton the season and
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: I'm like, how good was it? It was my favorite season?
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: I said to it it started a bit slow, but
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: oh my gosh, it was so good and she oh, no,
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: I hated it. It was the worst season. I was like, oh,
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: so anyhow, that was all we discussed.
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: For the one hour and hair and makeup. I loved
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: it interesting. I thought it was great.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: I thought it was as I said, you know, the
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: first couple of episodes, I was say, oh, this is
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: a bit same same, I've watched all of the seasons
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: and I've really enjoyed them, but I thought, oh, maybe
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: this is maybe this has jumped the shark now. But
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: then there was some there was some twists in there
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: that I thought I didn't see that coming, and I
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: think that's added some real complexity to it.
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: And I just hope everyone's reached their pinnacle. Absolutely don't
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: watch watched.
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: It, Liz, Have you ever reached your pinnacle? No? I'm
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: still going no, but I haven't.
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: I was just seeing here, thinking could I catch up
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: on Bridgeton? How long would it take me to do it?
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: Eight episodes each and the episodes are about fifty minutes
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: do It's not for children, so we tried watching it
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: with my son the first season, and it's a bit
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: hot and heavy in places. And at some stages we
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: had to turn Tom and say, now, what do you
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: have any questions what the gentleman is doing to the
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: lady there?
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: And he just.
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: Got like, I missed Bridges and I miss Game of Thrones.
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: I really struggle to sit down and watch what sort
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: of long series television. I mean, I watched Ted Lasso
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: and now I've watched all her faults. I'm not completely
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: out of the loop, but.
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: I feel like.
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: Game of Thrones got away from me. There's just no
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: way that I could go back because I just can't Thrones.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: But I don't think I think it's okay to just
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: go That's just something that passed me by, that it's gone.
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: Whereas Bridges and I feel like I could. I do
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: love a bit of you know, it's really you know
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: what it's Yeah, it is really good. Li's like whether
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: it's just the costume, the sets, the smartness of the writing,
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: Like the writing's really now. The music's amazing. Music's music's unreal.
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: Have you seen there's actually a clip on YouTube Instagram,
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: one of them, of the guy that actually does the music.
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: He's a violinist, and you can and it's a recording
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: of him actually playing some because they play what he
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: plays modern music on the violin, so it's like the
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: old school, you know, ballroom, but it's like a.
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: Modern song but has been played on the violin. You're
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: kind of sitting there and you're like, is that Taylor's swift?
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: Blah blah blah blah blah.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: But yeah, it's a really interesting sort of mental exercise.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: Isn't it taking on my recognizing something there? But it's
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: the music is fabulous. It's there we go no double
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: recommends kicking off earlier, Liz, can you manage I know
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: you can't manage long tracks of time watching TV? Can
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: you manage a broadcast that is about sixty minutes of
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: court time, perhaps with a few breaks in the middle
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: for some analysis while people have a drink of water
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: and tail down and listen to their coach. Could you
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: manage that? Oh?
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: I managed it.
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: I managed it twice on the weekend, so and I'm
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: got a little bit of catch up to do this week.
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: So yeah, I love it.
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: Superniples back, baby, can we talk about that?
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: So? Why don't we? Why don't we have a little
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: break and then we'll come.
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: Back and talk about netball?
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: Okay, Yes, So if you've been living under a rock.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: The Superneple season did start on the weekend and it
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: was sand stational. Four fantastic games, some extraordinary performances. The
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: Kihi Invasion is here, absolutely and that was amazing entertaining
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: to watch. Where do we start? Where do we start?
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: Obviously we have to talk about tipping amid amidst all
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: of this too, because that's shown some interesting stuff.
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: Go straight to tipping. Yeah, can I say?
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: Given that I my tipping is just home teams, I
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: think I've done all right this weekend.
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: You have?
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: So I guess who's first out of our group, out
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: of our little home. So I have a host and
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: heroes ladder for us, and it's the three of us
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: and Catherine obviously, it's Darryl Milton, It's Keighley Devery, It's
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: Alexa Prino, who is your Eddie bestie. It's Lisa Bass
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: who won last year's tipping comp. And I'm trying to
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: get hold of Melrosa, who was our inaugural Golden Turkey,
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: to put her in, but she hasn't registered, so I've
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: just sent her anyway. So there's what's that there's eight
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: of us in this Catherine's coming first, yes, and did
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: she picked fever consistency the netty nome coming last?
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: So did you pick fevers when you're coming second to
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: that in the second list? I'm not, but I just
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: said to Catherine, go for fee.
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: She did not, so she got, she got. She got
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: the same score as you. But she must have put
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: hers in earlier because she's sitting at ninety six and
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: you're sitting at one hundred and thirty six on the
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: same points. And you both picked margin for the MAVs
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: Giants game as ten when it was actually nine. So
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: that just shows dribblers get your tips in early. It
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: makes a difference.
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: Carolyn, Is there a referee in this system? I couldn't
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: go any earlier because you only sent me the link late. Yeah,
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: that's on you.
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: Well yeah, sorry, you can't win a prize. So you
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: are welcome to lodge a complaint and there'll be a
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: Stuart's inquiry. And I tell you how that's going to
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: turn out. It's going to turn out with me. Yeah, sorry,
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: it was a bit.
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: Underwater last week.
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: No, I will hold my Stuart's complaint for lady there
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: when it gets really tight.
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: But yes, Liz, I didn't back Fever. I didn't go
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: for Fever. Well do you know what?
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: And again, of course I'm allowed to bet officially because
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: that's wagering and bedding, so I don't. But in this
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: competition it is about fun. But I do have inside
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: a knowledge, right, let's be blatantly honest. So you should
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: know better, so I should know better. But look, I
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: think if you watched the commentary yesterday in the Fever game,
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: I think we said it a thousand times, and not
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: because we were trying to sell it anymore, but it
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: was the reality of it is. Fever have had the
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: most horrific preseason through injury and a lot of illness.
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: Like we had two weeks of illness where we actually
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: went to play the Adelaide Thunderbirds and we didn't have
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: enough players to put on the court, so we had
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: to bring two men's players, and we had to get
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: approval from the Thunderbirds that in a preseason game would
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: they okay if we put two men on the court.
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: We've just we just haven't had enough.
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: We couldn't like without bringing up like to bring up
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: the next layer of athlete into the game would have
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: been dangerous to the athlete for them. Yeah, so we
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: had to like we didn't we couldn't cancel. So we
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: then like rang the thunderbirds and said, kays, here's our predicament.
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: We've got people, we can't get them off the toilet
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: and vomiting. This went on for two and a bit weeks,
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: two and a half weeks. People just every one of
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: us just dropped like flies, drop like fires, drop like fires.
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: And then managing all the injury and so there's been
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: no stability. It's been really tough to kind of build
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: any connections. And so I was like, I think we
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: can compete, but I felt Lightning. I really do think
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: Lightning can have a decent season. But the second I
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: saw that Gabby Sinclair was out, I actually thought we
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: might at our nose in front. But I chose not
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: to change my tipping. That's the god's honest truth.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: Well, let me tell you, seventy nine point two percent
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: of our Dribbler tippers also tip Lightning, so it was
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: a and we have over seven hundred tippers, so that's
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: a fairly decent sample size there. But yes, seventy ninety
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: three ninety three point seven percent tip Vixens in that game. So,
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: but yeah, there was a fairly overwhelming number of people
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: thinking Lightning, We're going to win that game.
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: Gordie, what did you think of Ramelda?
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: Just an amazing athlete to go like fourth clubs, She's
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: just such a like a stabilizing influence for you guys.
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: Isn't she just put it there? You know what she's
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: going to do. Anyone else, the opposition knows what she's
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: going to do. It's just that she does it so
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: well that good luck stopping her.
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think.
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: I think the thing that happens in netball is and
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: rightly so in sport and as fans and at a distance,
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: is everyone can form opinions based only on the information
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: that you have. And I certainly had an opinion of Romelda,
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: which was I thought she was a very good athlete,
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: and I thought she's been incredible, and I had there
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: was nothing really negative. Yes, she misses a couple of
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: those shots under the ring, and that's I mean, her
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: technique isn't the best in the world, but that's the
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: mind more than the technique in those I mean, her
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: technique does go off, but it's the mind that goes
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: first before the technique, And so I was like, oh, yeah,
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: you know, Dan will be good with that and can
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: fix a few bits and pieces. But once she came
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: into the environment, list the one thing that you pick
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: up in small bits from a distance, but until you're
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: in the training environment, you see it. She is bloody smart.
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: She is a game smart games game sense beast.
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: She reads it really well.
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: She knows how to help everybody else around her, And
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: I think that's what's given her longevity a little one,
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: the fact that you know, she's got to hold the
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: body up and she just can probably last in the
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: game a little bit longer based on their movement patterns
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: and so on and so forth. But to come out
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: of retirement off the back of a season where she
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: managed her knee injury the entire year, we had to
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: completely deload her right down to zero and then completely
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: reload her, which was why she couldn't be released to
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: play for Jamaica in the International Series. And literally we
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: weren't even We weren't sure if we get sixty out
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: of her on the weekend, and she soldier through and
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: there's this moment the game you see her banging her legs,
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: banging her legs. I think she was trying to say
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: to them, just keep going there seven minutes.
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: To go, keep going. You can do it. So yeah,
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: she like, you know, I what an incredible story. And
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: you know, kath Cotts's record of National League games will
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: likely get beaten.
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: But you know, if you're ever going to hand a
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: baton over to someone, why wouldn't it be ramaldarekenjaw?
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: Its how credible?
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and look, I'm grateful that she's there because it
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: means that I'm still current.
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: I think while anyone you ever.
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: Played against this sim current time, it would be supporting
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: her inclusion in super level for a number of years yet.
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: But it's interesting, isn't it right? And I often have
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: this conversation with my daughter and with her mate, you know,
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: and kids that I coach, is that it's not always
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: the greatest athlete who is the greatest used to a team.
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: And I think if you come into a team and
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: you're smart, and you have commitment to you know, the
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: team morale, and you bring your whole self to your
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: team and you're helping everyone else by trying to think
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: things through and you're enthusiastic, that is exactly the sort
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: of athlete that you want. You don't want someone to
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: turn up going you know, I know everything.
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: I can't be changed.
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: You know, Like you're talking about a woman who's played
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: for well over a decade at this top level and
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: then talking about Dan the coach doing a bit with
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: her and working with her on a shooting technique. Clearly
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: she's amenable to that and not coming and thinking that
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: she knows everything. Like that's exactly the sort of athlete
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: that you want the world's worst athletes to coach lives,
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: doesn't matter what age. They are the ones that think
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: they know it all and they're not prepared to listen,
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: and then you know, they frustrate you as a coach,
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: and you can try only so many ways to try
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: and get through the head. And then the only coaching
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: that they truly listen to is the mistakes they make
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: on a netball court, right, and they're usually the mistakes
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: that the coach has been saying, if you are just this,
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: you eliminate that. So I love the fact that someone
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: like Rameldor and when you say, well over a decade,
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: she's just shuy. I have two decades like nineteen seasons
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: is just insane.
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: And so to be able to.
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: Come in and with an open mind and a willingness
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: to learn and then offload her wealth of knowledge to others.
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: I mean, what a great privilege for Fever and good
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: on her. I hope she has a great season, not
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: just because I'm a Fever centric person, but because one
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: incredible moment and I love the fact. Sorry that just
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: at the end of the game, Caitlyn Bassett was interviewing
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: her and made a comment to her and said, you know, like,
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: how incredible to be back and whatever, and she just goes,
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: I just love netball like she's there because she just
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: there's nothing more simple than nineteen years of playing. She
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: still loves it, like that's why she wants to be there,
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: and she thinks she can contribute, and I think there's
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: so much you can take from that.
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: Huge Can I ask a question, so and talk to
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: me as though I'm an idiot, because that's close to
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: the truth a lot of the time when you say so.
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: First of all, I'd like to point out that when
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: rammelgat Aiken George started playing netball, she had to take
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: her shoes down to get them covered in the same
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: fabric as her uniform. That's how I don't want when
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: you say, she's a really smart player. Can you give
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: an example of something that you noted there that you
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: go that is a really that's a point where I'm
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: seeing someone who has extraordinary experience and knows how to
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: apply it.
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: So so really simply, And if you listen to the
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: commentary we highlighted this in the game yesterday, so Ake
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: and George six foot six. Most people think she's going
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: to sit and post up and that ball's got to
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: go over the top. But if you go and have
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: a little how many times she caught a ball to
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: the chest yesterday? That was purposeful? All right, So that's
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: her going, okay, well, how do I take a smart,
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: a very dynamic defense out of the equation. And then
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: when they started to realize that was a game, then
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: she said her up. Now I'll just use my other strength,
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: which is my backspace. Actually that is my strength, and
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: so she just had this ability to continue to change
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: things up. So that's number one that's smart. Not every
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: shooter in the league reads that and then applies it purposefully.
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: And then the second thing is and one thing that
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: this is something that you see very much in the
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: training environment. I saw it translate yesterday is her ability
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: to take in a.
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: Lot of information in front of it. So sometimes players
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: can be really singular in the way that they see
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: the game.
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: So I've got my direct opponent, what I see in
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: front of you is simply the ball and I'm going
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: for it right, and that may work, and other times
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: there'll be a whole bunch of other things that are
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: going to stop that from working. And what I think
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: Ramelda does really well and as a goal shooter, and
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: Liz will say this, as a goalkeeper, part of your
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: job back in that circle is to take in information.
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: I think she does that really well.
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: And then her decisions off the back of that information
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: are what informs me that she's actually quite a smart
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: Vestue player. Thank you pleasure.
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: And you didn't really talk to me like I was
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: an idiot.
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: No, I actually sounded like I was in my coach mode.
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: I've got this real voice, like when on talking Netbil
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: I going to coach mode. I can hear myself and
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: I'm like shut up, So like, calm it down, seriously. So, Kaasen,
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: is your coach voice mode different to your commentator voice
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: mode or are they the same thing?
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: Good?
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: No, they're a little different.
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: They used to be very I used to like like
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: any I was actually only thinking about this the other
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: day because Shanny Layton's now this is turning into the
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: Fever show.
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: Shanny Layton is in our environment now.
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: And for anyone that knows Sharny Lake, you either know
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: her through a visual or you know her because you've
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: heard it eight streets aweight, like seriously loud ass right.
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: And so she's coming to the environment and I'm watching
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: her and part of my role that Fever is to
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: help grow her as the coach as well. And I
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: love her passion and I love her energy. And there's
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: a lot of her now that reminds me of me young,
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: and that's like big loud, constant up. I was probably
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: a little bit more officious, you know, a bit more
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: of that aggressive coach, et cetera. Whereas I think now,
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: as I've got a bit older, I'm a little bit
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: more balanced. But when I do m the players know
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: when I speak up, like when I've got something to say,
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: they listen like I like to think they do. But
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: I'm passionate, like when something you would laugh lyves in
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: the training environment. My commentary voice comes out more in
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: the times of when I see something really good happening,
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: and I'll be like, yes, that's what I'm talking about.
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: You know, like whatever it might be.
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, So there is there is the suit, there's the sue,
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: the coach and the s the commentator, and there there's
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: a bit of a hybrid of it at moments in train.
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: Well see the coach.
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: You guys are up against Thunderbirds next week around two.
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: Can we just talk a little bit about Elmer of
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: VanderBurg that I pronounce that the same crowd alm maray
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: elma ray el maray elmrey Vandenburg.
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: Oh my god.
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: I was watching her the other night thinking she's like
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: Irene van Dyke Mark too, but she's actually just a
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: little bit taller. Went and did my little research this morning.
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: She said she's got a centimeter on Irene, probably wears
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: a little bit less eyehlighter than Irene wore when she
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: sort of you know, first hit the hit the market.
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: But my god, what a superstar. She's like the debut
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: match sun Corps Super Netball, toughest league in the world,
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: break scoring records on a debut.
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: Amazing. So what do you do?
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, So seriously, he's the best way to
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: describe al Mo Ray and the way she's burst onto
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: the scene.
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: Put yourselves back.
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: A year ago and go to round one Grace, okay,
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: and you know how much hype there was around Grace,
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: every media, the media that the amount of stories on
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: social media. If you even looked at the packaging from
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: Fox Grace Wiki Hit our Shores now go and compare
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: it to el Moray, it was like, who's this South
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: African kid coming across from the UK on the what
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: she'll be like might be good? You know, YadA YadA?
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: What do you reckon?
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: All the highlights? Package is going to be next week?
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: Like she killed it? And when you say she's.
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: Like iv D, right, if you think about when IVD
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: both first broke onto the scene, el Moray is a
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: vastly more athletic version. Irene got a lot more athletic
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: because she had to because she were teaching her a lesson.
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: But el Moray is sort of that more athletic version already. Right,
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: So we said in commentary yesterday, it took eight rounds
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: last year for the opposition to figure out Grace.
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: How long will it take for them to figure out
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: El Moray?
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: And it's not just elm moraps the bloody Thunderbirds are
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: good in front of her.
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: Georgia, all of the Thunderbirds who we already knew too.
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: It was just I was there, which is a tough,
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: tough hour, but one thing, and let's come back to
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: El Mara in a second.
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: But I was.
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: I had a friend there from who hasn't been watching
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: a lot of supernet ball in a few years. And
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: I pointed out Maddie Prowd, and I pointed out Shimira,
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: and I said, both of those women have had a
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: baby less than twelve months ago, and they were both outstanding,
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: and it was just that was really really exciting to watch.
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: And did you see in the interview?
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: Yes, and she said, well, I didn't see the interview
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: because I was up in the It was god.
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: I rolled on the four laughing because I was, of
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: course beautiful. Emily Beatan was interviewing and she's only just
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: had her bub four weeks ago, I think all five
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: weeks ago. So seriously, yeah, I know she shouldn't.
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: Look that goods It was. It's embarrassing. I had my
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: last baby nine years ago and I haven't quite recovered.
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: So Emily can just quit.
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: It, I know, I look pregnant on screen compared to this, right,
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: so honestly, but yeah, And they said something to Shamiir like, oh,
• 35:04
  Speaker 3: you know, how are you feeling to you know, to
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: be back, and I look up. This is a word
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: for word, but she kind of said, oh look, I'm
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: just so grateful and to come back looking like.
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: This, just like she owned how good she looked like.
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: And it made you look at her and then you
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: were like, oh my god, there's nothing She's popped a
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: baby out and there is nothing of her. She'll bo
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: That's the second one that gets Yeah, yeah, that's what
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: I kept telling myself.
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: That gets el Maray fifty nine goals out of Thunderbird
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: seventy four, which was a record for them, Like it
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: was just it was incredible. And on the flip side
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: of that, and I want someone to make me feel better,
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: Helen howsby fifty what happened by this weak?
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: Please Swiss will bound don't ask me because they don't
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: ask me to analyze a goal attack. I watched that
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: game with a glass of reds, so even worse. But no,
• 36:05
  Speaker 3: I'll let Susan do it, Okay. My thoughts on the
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: Swifts at the moment, so I'm going to go, let's
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: move from Helen. It's just defensively. They they had the
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: worst stats in the league defensively last year, so they're
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: not winning a lot of ball. That was hidden a
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: little bit by the fact that they were pretty powerful upfront. Usually,
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: if you win games, netball, or you win premierships, you've
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: got to have a reasonable balance, ideally a bit of
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: a dominance at one end, but a reasonable balance at
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: the other.
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: So the Swiss are out of balance.
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: At the moment, and I just thought defensively, they looked
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: off on the weekend.
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: They looked like they couldn't solve problems in the moment.
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: Their heads were looking to the bench a lot, So
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: I think, you know, there's some work to do there defensively,
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: But to be blatant, honestly, they have a look at it.
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: They've got his defenders. They'll solve that. Don't stress, you know,
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: they'll they'll find their way. And then I just think
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: an attacker just got it. Like everyone, everyone's got to
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: find combinations. I know Helen was off, but Helen can't
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: solve the problem. She needs a dynamic wing attack and
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: she needs the center, and you've only got Maddie just
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: coming back building court time. Grace Whider thought what she
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: did was pretty good, but she's kind of new face
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: to the game. And then I just thought weiky. I mean,
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: she probably could have lit up a little bit more,
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: and I don't think she really did. And that's you know,
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: I've always said the second year of playing any elite
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: competition is bloody tough because your B plan, C plan,
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: and D plan A pretty much we got to become
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: your A plane because everyone solved your A plane.
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: So yeah, so.
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: Anyhow, caron round one is always like this, and then
• 37:34
  Speaker 3: I guess it's just even more unpredictable because of the
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: number of changes and combination adjustments in the off season
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: and the limited time. We are four weeks earlier than
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: we historically have been, and I think some teams will
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: be feeling that more than others. And there's also there's
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: also every season you go into it, and the older
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: the team is, the less close to one hundred percent
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: you want to so you sort of want to come
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: in building rather than if you've got a young team,
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: you want to come in like hard at the start
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: because you know that the older teams will probably catch
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: you and their experience will get you. So I suspect
• 38:14
  Speaker 3: the Swifts are sort of absolutely won't be panicking now,
• 38:16
  Speaker 3: but they're going to get tested next week. Right, they're
• 38:18
  Speaker 3: up against the MAVs, and I thought the MAVs had
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: a good, solid win over the Giants. I thought, you know,
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: they're a team that's trying to get their combinations going.
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: But Jamie Lee Price was just outstanding. So they've got
• 38:29
  Speaker 3: really outstanding players. And I don't think we saw the
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: best of Shimoda Jock on the weekend, only scored twenty
• 38:34
  Speaker 3: six goals, but.
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: I suspect we'll see a bit more of her.
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: And the MAVs are also a team that are going
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: to get more and more dangerous. And I think I
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: said last week in our podcast that I'm going to
• 38:43
  Speaker 3: regret not putting them in the top four.
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: So this is another test for the Swifts in round two.
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: And that is so what they're trying to do, because
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: it's a doublehead up this weekend in Sydney, like great
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: opportunity to see half the competition in one afternoon, one
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: pay for parking once get to see so trying to
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: break the record for the most attended game in Sun
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: Corps supernet Ball history and for those of you who
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: care about such things, the Sydney Melbourne rivalry. The record
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: is currently held by Melbourne from the Grand Final last year,
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: So get out there support these I really liked what
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: I saw from the Giants last week on the weekend.
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: I expected it to be I was worried for them
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: going in, but I thought there was some stuff there.
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: I thought, Jane Watson, Look Jane Watts.
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: She's bloody spider arms going at one hundred miles. Absolutely,
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: I thought.
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: And O'Brien did a good job. I'm interested to see
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: Amy Slager move into this center position, although all wing
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: defenses know that is a demotion for her, and I
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: think that's sad, but you know, but she grave.
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: I want her back at wing defense.
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: I think off the year that she's had, I'd love
• 39:53
  Speaker 3: to see her consolidate another year where she's like she
• 39:56
  Speaker 3: was number three in the lead for intercepts like last year.
• 40:00
  Speaker 3: It's a league and press as a wing defense it's
• 40:02
  Speaker 3: unheard of and so like that's but don't forget. They've
• 40:06
  Speaker 3: got Jodi m Ward to come back, so they've got
• 40:08
  Speaker 3: to They've got to kind of think through all of
• 40:09
  Speaker 3: this and then the other one for me. And again,
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: because we're not inside the inner sanctum, we don't know
• 40:15
  Speaker 3: these things. But I potentially would liked to have seen
• 40:19
  Speaker 3: Lucy Austin start the game so that there was a
• 40:21
  Speaker 3: little bit of there was a different It would have
• 40:25
  Speaker 3: posed a different defensive mindset for the Mavericks to think about.
• 40:28
  Speaker 3: Matisse leather Barrow got the start, so be it, but
• 40:32
  Speaker 3: she tried to play the game like a six foot
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: six goal shooter.
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: She ain't. So I don't know.
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: I think they'll work through that. And Neras Stewart said that,
• 40:42
  Speaker 3: you know, she knows they're going to have to build
• 40:43
  Speaker 3: connections over time. But do you know the comment of
• 40:45
  Speaker 3: the weekend this was for me. So Whitney as soon
• 40:49
  Speaker 3: as the captain of the Giants comes in pregame, right
• 40:53
  Speaker 3: off the warm up, runs in over to Biancha and
• 40:56
  Speaker 3: Caitlin Thwaites and they're like, oh, you know, you're excited
• 40:59
  Speaker 3: to be here, and she's like, oh god, it's been
• 41:02
  Speaker 3: the longest preseason ever.
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: I'm like, longest, this is a short preces This is
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: a short preseason.
• 41:09
  Speaker 3: I'm not sure how they used to do it over
• 41:11
  Speaker 3: in New Zealand, I think it was a little tired
• 41:12
  Speaker 3: of it.
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: I thought, you, poor bugger.
• 41:14
  Speaker 3: So yeah, the kiwe's will know about it, won't they
• 41:16
  Speaker 3: because it is a very different system set up here.
• 41:18
  Speaker 3: So yeah, well yeah, and the team that has the
• 41:22
  Speaker 3: most kiwis is the Fibers, right, And I thought, even
• 41:25
  Speaker 3: though they lost against Vixens, I actually thought they did
• 41:27
  Speaker 3: a reasonable job.
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: I think we're going to see them build.
• 41:29
  Speaker 3: It over there come in the season, and Fixings don't
• 41:32
  Speaker 3: look like they've missed a bet Die honey, which is.
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: A worry for everyone else, aren't they.
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: It's just you know, it's okay, we know what we're
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: doing here.
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: We got it.
• 41:42
  Speaker 3: Well, Die said that too. I feel like I'm just
• 41:45
  Speaker 3: doing your recap of all commentary. But I made that
• 41:47
  Speaker 3: comment and said, what do you think I'm supposed to do?
• 41:51
  Speaker 3: I've got look at the team I've got there, so
• 41:53
  Speaker 3: there's so experienced, she said. My job will just be
• 41:55
  Speaker 3: to pick the moments where I think I can I
• 41:57
  Speaker 3: need to manage them or have impact that I've got.
• 42:00
  Speaker 3: I've got a super experience group, and their job is
• 42:03
  Speaker 3: for me to trust them to go out and do
• 42:05
  Speaker 3: what I.
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: Know that they're capable of. Doing good coaching year.
• 42:10
  Speaker 3: I was going to say that shows such a maturity
• 42:12
  Speaker 3: of coaching, doesn't it, Because I imagine the temptation is
• 42:14
  Speaker 3: when you get into a role like that.
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: You become the head coach.
• 42:17
  Speaker 3: Right, I'm going to put my mark on at this
• 42:19
  Speaker 3: is how I'm going to coach. But she sat with Simone,
• 42:22
  Speaker 3: so she knows what Simone's systems were about and how
• 42:25
  Speaker 3: she went about it, and it just shows a coach.
• 42:27
  Speaker 3: Even that's her first year, she's really comfortable in her
• 42:30
  Speaker 3: own coaching skin because she knows, she knows what her
• 42:34
  Speaker 3: job is. Her job is not to reinvent the Vixen's wheel.
• 42:36
  Speaker 3: It is to inject herself at the right moment with
• 42:39
  Speaker 3: the right decision. That's impressive, very good.
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: So exciting. We're round one now, I'm going to have
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: to do a little bit of a recap and where
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: we're at from a tipping perspective, A weekly winner is
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: the crystal baller's perfect round, got the bonus point for
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: the round and bonus point for getting the margin correct. Now,
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: the crystal ball is not alone on six points. There
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: are two others there, but again crystal Waller's got it
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: in first, so Errol Oh Errol, I would do anything
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: just to be and CB three. They're all sitting on
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: six points, but obviously the one that we're most interested in,
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: or I am sitting in six hundred and thirty third place,
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: is who is sitting at the very bottom of the ladder.
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: Now you will remember we have a prize called the
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: Golden Turkey. This is a very prestigious award where you
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: get a trophy. You can only win the Golden Turkey
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: if you tip every week and you come stone motherless last.
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: So some people will still be joining the comp at
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: this stage. You can join, still join and you'll get
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: like an average or something, so you'll be ahead of
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: me already if you join late and have missed the
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: first round. If you join late, the only thing you
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: are ineligible to win is the Golden Turkey though, because
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: you won't have been able to tip every single round.
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: But we do have very good friend of the podcast,
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: Nikki knway Buckley sitting on goose egg and he has
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: had a perfect round just the other way, so she
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: is currently in pole position to win the Golden Turkey.
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: It is a long way between now and the end
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: of round.
• 44:14
  Speaker 3: A lot of mistakes to be made between now and then.
• 44:17
  Speaker 3: Isn't there a lot of mistakes?
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, a lot of mistakes can be made. But Nikki,
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: we're going to keep a close eye on where you
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: are sitting. I'm still hoping to get Melrosa back into
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: the competition. She is the inaugural Golden Turkey. Obviously she
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: will want to defend that position harshly and just just
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: set everyone's mind at ease. No matter how gifted I
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: am at tipping poorly, I cannot win the Golden Turkey.
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: It is I am ineligible to win that. But yeah,
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: get on board if you're not already tipping, because we've
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: got so many more weeks of excitement together. Hey, well
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: that was a great Netbull chat and I'm looking forward
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: to many more of those over the next many weeks.
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: But a segment so that we have introduced this year
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: largely in the response to the fact that as perimenopausal
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: and postmenopausal women, we have a lot of things that
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: annoy us that we would like to talk about. So
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: we've set up a segment called things that make you
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: go hmm. Now there is an option for talking about
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: things that didn't annoy you but just interested you. But
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: this is also an opportunity to get something off your chest.
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: So I'll just kick off with a quick one that
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure you're going to agree with me on.
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: I caught a flight back from Adelaide this morning. It
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: was a six am flight, which meant I was up
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: motherless early. Sitting on the plane, some guy starts watching
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: a video without headphones that things that make you go.
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: So do you know?
• 46:01
  Speaker 3: This is like I feel like, because we catch flights
• 46:03
  Speaker 3: a bit, there's always going to be a flight story.
• 46:06
  Speaker 3: But I have noticed that a lot with kids, and
• 46:09
  Speaker 3: you know that there's a kid on the flight. When
• 46:10
  Speaker 3: you hear mom, do do do do?
• 46:14
  Speaker 2: Dad? Do? Do? We like she doesn't know? Bingo do
• 46:18
  Speaker 2: do do? Bluey? Right, you hear it? And ye did
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: you like?
• 46:23
  Speaker 3: If you're traveling with a kid, surely headphones are the
• 46:26
  Speaker 3: first things you packed, before food, before close, before napping,
• 46:31
  Speaker 3: anything else packed The headphones going to the first Yeah.
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: My god.
• 46:37
  Speaker 3: It happens on almost every flight that I'm on. So
• 46:42
  Speaker 3: but then when a grain person do it, that's just
• 46:44
  Speaker 3: that's just not on.
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: Sorry, it's bloody ignorance.
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: And I actually think that they are making laws against
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: this in the United states that you can be removed
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: from the flight for watching a video without headphones. And
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: if that's not a law, I would like it to be.
• 47:00
  Speaker 2: I'm really sure that we should trust any laws that
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: the United States at the moment. But to be honest,
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: that's very true. That's actually yeah, go on. I was
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: gonna say one thing about a law. It's one thing
• 47:11
  Speaker 2: to have a law. You got to enforce it, like, yes.
• 47:13
  Speaker 3: That's the last thing you want. Just people be decent. Sorry, Gordy, No,
• 47:17
  Speaker 3: I was going to say. One thing that's making me
• 47:18
  Speaker 3: go hm at the moment is all the ai on Iran.
• 47:20
  Speaker 3: It's doing my head in. I can't keep up with
• 47:22
  Speaker 3: what's true or it's not. But we'll move on from
• 47:25
  Speaker 3: that because it's a terrible subject. The merging traffic for me, honestly,
• 47:30
  Speaker 3: yesterday on the way to rac Arena, Western Australian's inability
• 47:35
  Speaker 3: to merge onto a freeway from the day I arrived
• 47:39
  Speaker 3: to you some three years ago, thirty something years ago.
• 47:43
  Speaker 3: Merging Victorians can merge. I'm pretty sure they can merge
• 47:46
  Speaker 3: okay in Sydney, yes, no, no, yeah, Queensland do just can't
• 47:50
  Speaker 3: merge okay, Well, Queensland and Western Australians sort yourselves out merging.
• 47:55
  Speaker 3: Maybe there's like a correlation between your ability to merge
• 47:58
  Speaker 3: and whether you have daylight savings.
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: I actually think the bigger the city, this is controversial,
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: the bigger the city, the better the drivers. And I
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: think it's because you have to share the road with
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: so many people you rely on courtesy like Canberra. Oh guys,
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: come on, you're not you're not driving very well.
• 48:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, But then having having spent some time in, for example, Delhi,
• 48:29
  Speaker 3: which is bigger, there's like a tipping point and want
• 48:31
  Speaker 3: to get like when you're driving Delhi.
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: Just yeah, there's lines anywhere outside of Australia. So yes,
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: you're immediately with one exception, you've made it clear why
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: I asked you to speak to me like I'm an idiot,
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: because that was. But I tell you, in New Zealand,
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: there are signs that say merge like a zip.
• 48:56
  Speaker 2: It's like a zip.
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: But it's perfect right because we all know what that is,
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: the teeth one at a time one and I think
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: we should get the signs merged like a zip. And
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: you know, given that every netballer in New Zealand is
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: now living here, let's get the next ones who come
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: over bring the signs with them.
• 49:13
  Speaker 3: Here's a question, though, if just out of curiosity, irrespective
• 49:17
  Speaker 3: of what the rules are, if you're merging onto the freeway,
• 49:20
  Speaker 3: do you want to merge at the speed of the.
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: Traffic if you can? That's Isn't that your point? You're
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: trying to.
• 49:27
  Speaker 3: Well come over to wa and have a conversation with
• 49:30
  Speaker 3: every idiot that doesn't understand that.
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: No, seriously, when everyone's flying in and flying out, they've forgotten.
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: How to drive.
• 49:37
  Speaker 3: If it's one hundred on the freeway, but you're trying
• 49:40
  Speaker 3: to merge at seventy, you are creating.
• 49:43
  Speaker 2: An accident, right, yes, so do you wear myself it's
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: one hundred? Am I missing? Am I missing a point?
• 49:48
  Speaker 2: Because Liz is honestly looking at.
• 49:50
  Speaker 3: Me like I agree, Like that was the first thing
• 49:53
  Speaker 3: that my dad Tom were driving.
• 49:55
  Speaker 2: You have to merge at the same space.
• 49:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the traffic, that's I just don't understand how people
• 50:00
  Speaker 3: we don't understand that.
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: But AnyWho not here, it does make you go.
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: Home trying to merge, get in the right lane, clear
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: the left wing them so that they've got a chance
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: to speed their car.
• 50:09
  Speaker 3: Okay, So my takeouts for today merged like a zup
• 50:12
  Speaker 3: and pack headphones for your children and your man babies
• 50:17
  Speaker 3: before before you pack anything else.
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: Yes, for flights excellently, I think excellently. I didn't take
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: out something quite controversial to I need to do some
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: more research on this. But I'm doing ABC Radio this
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: afternoon to talk about the start of the Netle season
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: on James O Lachlan Show, and I'm talking about the
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: Kiwi invasion and you know how we go, Well, we'll
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: have Russell Crowe the Pavlov's ours. Kiwi thinks Pavlov's theirs.
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: Kiwis think that the flat white is their's. And also
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: a reminder to everyone, I am a New Zealand citizen.
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: I carry two passports. So but apparently there is contention
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: over whether the Lamington was invented in New Zealand and
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: was called a Wellington.
• 50:59
  Speaker 2: Back and how it I don't get Lamington. I don't
• 51:03
  Speaker 2: love it. They can have it.
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: That's very interesting.
• 51:06
  Speaker 2: I just I always thought it was in New Zealand.
• 51:09
  Speaker 2: Why do I? Yeah, Lamington, Pavlova, they can have all
• 51:13
  Speaker 2: of that. I don't need it.
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: Mel Gibson, this is a this is a dead way
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: to end an entire episode though we can't. We can't
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: have me trying to stir up some controversy and you
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: two going, oh, yeah, whatever.
• 51:24
  Speaker 2: We don't need it, No, we don't need it.
• 51:25
  Speaker 3: I mean I saw I saw a credit House in
• 51:27
  Speaker 3: concert recently at Byron and I will I will take them.
• 51:32
  Speaker 3: I think they definitely belong to us. But the Lamington
• 51:37
  Speaker 3: and the Pavlova two of the worst desserts or sweets ever, So.
• 51:41
  Speaker 2: No, they can have them. Farlight will take I'm going
• 51:43
  Speaker 2: to have to. I'm happy to write a list of
• 51:45
  Speaker 2: what we want.
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: I don't think collapse that useful anymore, though true, probably
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: faster now, yeah, that's true.
• 51:54
  Speaker 2: I don't know. We might need to keep Grace Newki
• 51:56
  Speaker 2: at some.
• 51:57
  Speaker 3: Point, but yeah, she'll probably yeah, like, she'll probably want
• 51:59
  Speaker 3: to play for New Zealand anyway, look at you like
• 52:02
  Speaker 3: going on to the ABC local radio talking.
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: Again, and I'm going to give a little bit of
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: a boost to the netball fans of New South Wales
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: that I went to the very first day of the
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: Ashes in Perth last year and walking out there were
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: a lot of English fans who were a bit cocker
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: hoop and thinking we're looking good here. So you know
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: it's a long season. Netball fans don't.
• 52:28
  Speaker 2: It's a long season. Hey, why are you there? So?
• 52:30
  Speaker 3: I was up at the pharmacy. There was a big
• 52:35
  Speaker 3: pharmacy conference on the Gold Coast. I was with the
• 52:37
  Speaker 3: Pharmacy Guild, who are supporting the back of the bid.
• 52:39
  Speaker 3: So while you're on James at Blackland's show, can you
• 52:42
  Speaker 3: please get him to, you know, talk about back the
• 52:45
  Speaker 3: bid and how we need more people to sign.
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: There's a little Q on.
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: My notes here, right, yeah, okay, good work here anything.
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: One of the questions he's asked me to prepare is
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: why should people care about ball and why do you
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: like it so much? And it's like, well, James I.
• 53:04
  Speaker 3: Laughlin was a friend of mine until just now, so.
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: Just trying to be he's trying to be a host.
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: And he said, you know, assume that who that the
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: listeners know nothing about netball? So quick one.
• 53:18
  Speaker 2: You were over in Perth speaking at a breakfast. I was.
• 53:22
  Speaker 3: I spoke at an international Women's Day breakfast for the
• 53:25
  Speaker 3: Department of Education.
• 53:26
  Speaker 2: Oh my god. They awarded the like an.
• 53:30
  Speaker 3: Award for like the Educator of the Year. I was
• 53:34
  Speaker 3: embarrassed that I was there as a keynote speaker because
• 53:36
  Speaker 3: the women who were the finalists were amazing and the
• 53:40
  Speaker 3: woman who was awarded and you have to forgive me,
• 53:44
  Speaker 3: I can't remember the actual name of the award, but
• 53:46
  Speaker 3: it was for like the best person in the education system.
• 53:50
  Speaker 3: She is deaf and teachers at is it like an
• 53:55
  Speaker 3: education assistant at a at a school that integrates deaf students,
• 54:00
  Speaker 3: and she was so inspirational, Like I just, I just
• 54:04
  Speaker 3: And there was like an educational assistant who like does
• 54:08
  Speaker 3: all this great science stuff and a woman who was
• 54:11
  Speaker 3: from Broom and making sure that First Nations kids learnt
• 54:15
  Speaker 3: things in their own in First Nations language.
• 54:19
  Speaker 2: Oh. I was just I was just saying there.
• 54:21
  Speaker 3: I was like these people who you know, as Australians,
• 54:24
  Speaker 3: we always you know, we love our sports people and
• 54:26
  Speaker 3: we talk about heroes. I just think these women are
• 54:28
  Speaker 3: the heroes. It was amazing, so good thank you for
• 54:31
  Speaker 3: coming to.
• 54:32
  Speaker 2: My Ted talk.
• 54:32
  Speaker 3: Yes good, no, well no, no, that was good. Just
• 54:34
  Speaker 3: shows you the difference between you and I. You had
• 54:36
  Speaker 3: people turn up.
• 54:37
  Speaker 2: I was supposed to speak at an event that got
• 54:38
  Speaker 2: canceled because it wasn't enough people that wanted to go.
• 54:43
  Speaker 3: I hope they came to the one that I went
• 54:44
  Speaker 3: to seven hundred and fifty people.
• 54:46
  Speaker 2: It was good.
• 54:47
  Speaker 3: I had to.
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: I was asked to do a stand up spot at
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: an International Women's Day breakfast a few years ago. It
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: was a Saturday morning thing, so it was a couple
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: of hours long. But you know, Saturday morning, Carolyn, can
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: you do twenty minut and yep, great, and can you
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: do it without swearing? It's like that's a bit harder,
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: but yes, absolutely, and all of these topics that were
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: out and so okay, we're starting to get really outside
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: of my area of expertise here, but I will do
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: my best. And when I arrived, they told me I
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: would be on after the keynote speaker. This woman had
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: escaped from North Korea. Her story had the whole audience
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: in tears. She was being tortured. While she was captured
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: and being tortured, she had these stories about people she
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: was working with who were being hauled out of a
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: marketplace and shot in front. And then and now we
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: have Carolyn Swindell, who's going to tell you some jokes.
• 55:39
  Speaker 2: What was your opening? What was your opening?
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: Well, because I was sitting there the whole way through
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: transfixed by her speech and also thinking.
• 55:47
  Speaker 2: What the fuck am I going to do?
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: But so I opened with an acknowledgment of that, you know,
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: it is amazing to listen to stories of people suffering
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: and you don't know what people have been through. And
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: I said, you know, we can all relate to that.
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: My microwave broke during COVID and that well done well
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: And it worked because it was clearly, clearly oh my.
• 56:10
  Speaker 2: God, goodness. Yeah, and they're the stories that we need
• 56:13
  Speaker 2: to hear.
• 56:13
  Speaker 3: But it's pretty tough when you're the entertainer who's supposed
• 56:16
  Speaker 3: to stand up on stage after that. Just just quickly,
• 56:19
  Speaker 3: I just did an engineer's facilitated engineering conference for the
• 56:24
  Speaker 3: last two days Thursday and Friday. If we are at
• 56:27
  Speaker 3: the Institute of Public Works Engineering, Australasia.
• 56:31
  Speaker 2: Try and drop a joke in that conference two days.
• 56:38
  Speaker 2: It took me eight sessions before I got them laughing.
• 56:42
  Speaker 2: I get that. I came home after day one, Rose
• 56:45
  Speaker 2: said I had it go.
• 56:46
  Speaker 3: We don't speak to me. Don't speak to me. She goes,
• 56:48
  Speaker 3: I was really that bad. I said, I've got to
• 56:50
  Speaker 3: find a way. I need to break the ice got up.
• 56:52
  Speaker 2: The next day. I had a little plan I got nothing. Anyhow,
• 56:56
  Speaker 2: halfway through the.
• 56:58
  Speaker 3: Halfway through the day actually because we had to there
• 57:02
  Speaker 3: was a bit of gap in time, and so I
• 57:03
  Speaker 3: had to make it up. And I was like, oh god,
• 57:05
  Speaker 3: we go three hundred engineers and I've made it really clear.
• 57:08
  Speaker 2: I was from Sport and I was hit to learn.
• 57:11
  Speaker 3: And so while we were doing a bit of a
• 57:13
  Speaker 3: get to know you, I asked if anyone had.
• 57:15
  Speaker 2: Any engineering jokes.
• 57:16
  Speaker 3: And there was one gentleman in the room who was
• 57:18
  Speaker 3: quite well known engineer, and he stood up and told
• 57:21
  Speaker 3: a joke which I had prior to going that they
• 57:23
