  Speaker 1: You're listening to a DM podcast.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: We'll try to keep it as nice as we can,
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: but you might hear the occasional swear word in No Dribble.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: Don't tell them Hello and welcome once again to No Dribble,
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: the podcast where we have a lot of fun talking
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: about netball but everything else in this great, big world besides.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: My name is Carolyn Swindell. I'm a writer and comedian.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: I'm here in Sydney and I am with Catherine Coxon.
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: There's not much netball anymore much.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: Well, there's always neckball, just because there wasn't a super
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: netball game. And we're also joined by.
• 0:41
  Speaker 4: Liz ls on the North Post of New South Wales.
• 0:44
  Speaker 4: I'm neither a writer nor a comedian, so there you go.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: You are a writer.
• 0:48
  Speaker 5: I was.
• 0:49
  Speaker 4: I don't write much anymore though. Do you feel like
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: I feel like I've got a novel in me? Well,
• 0:54
  Speaker 4: obviously you did, Carolyn rot and I've got a really
• 0:58
  Speaker 4: good idea like for the title of it, but I
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: just can't think of anything like the next one hundred
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: and twenty thousand words to write.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: It's only eighty thousand words, you can, yeah, Oh, not
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: many novels are one hundred and twenty anymore.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: And if you're writing it for me and my attention
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: span forty one, it's a picture book.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: Yes, that's just forty words novella. Are you willing to
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: share with us what the title of your novel is?
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah, no, I'll tell you right because anyone it's not
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: like it's that exciting. But so Matthew and my husband
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: used to run a landscape gardening company, and he was
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: talking to me one day about you know, when you
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: see a footpath, a concrete footpath, and then there's a
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: little track that people like cut the corner or they
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: go from one place.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: I know what that's called. What's it called desire lines?
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: That's right, And so I think there's a novel called
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: the Desire Line, and I'm just trying to figure out
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: what it's about, Like is it the obvious thing? Is it,
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: you know, a bit sort of pulpy romancy, or is
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: it a bit more than that?
• 1:55
  Speaker 5: So don't know.
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: Anyway, I think about it often and what I might
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: stick in it, But then i'd have to sit down
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: and write, oh you know, and then you think about
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: like I like the idea of just.
• 2:03
  Speaker 5: Sitting and writing and just have the story unfold.
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: But then when you hear about how writers do this
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: stuff and they create backstories for their characters and that
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: sort of thing, I'm like, that's way too much work,
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: Like did you do that for your book? Well?
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: I had to in the end. So when I started writing,
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: and this book took me years because I didn't really
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: understand the process and I just started writing and it
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: went It's like, I have no idea where this is going.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: This doesn't fit a proper narrative arc, and the like,
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: I don't know the characters well enough. I had two
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: female characters and it was like they were way too
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: much the same. So I had to I had to
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: really get to know them and step out of the
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: story and go, well, what is their backstory in order
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: to understand and how would they speak differently and how
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: would they phrase things? So, yeah, it was harder than
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: I expected.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: Liz. If you go into your mills and Boonira, I'm
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: very excited.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Your fabio fame, fifty shades of ellous, I'm.
• 2:53
  Speaker 5: Not that interesting. Three shades.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: One of the shades would have to be that blue, though.
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: Light blue, navy blue, and royal blue. There you go, there,
• 3:02
  Speaker 5: did you.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: Wear a fancy pants suit on the weekend at all?
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: Or were you just super cash this past weekend?
• 3:09
  Speaker 5: I was super cash.
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: I know there was no super netball on, but I
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: did have to coach, so I didn't have to, but
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: I coach my netball team. So did they wear They go, no,
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: we're coming second. And we played the top of the
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: table and we are sort of under thirteens and we're
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: in under fourteen. Small country. You know, things get sort
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: of put together. So we didn't win. And Catherine, I'm
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: gonna have to pick your brains. I just need to
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: get my shooters sort of working, not in parallel anyway.
• 3:38
  Speaker 5: I've got to sort of think about how I do that.
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: So we should come as no surprise that my team
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: all the way down the court is really good defensively,
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: we'll win.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: Back keeps the ball and then no one knows what
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: to do with it.
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: Well, I don't know what to do with it. When
• 3:50
  Speaker 5: they get the ball, I'm like that, and I just
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: run to a space.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: How are going to put it in that circle?
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: For a small fee, a couple of glasses of wine,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: I will venture to your neck of the woods and
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: help you out.
• 3:59
  Speaker 5: You are on I might need it.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: Did your team have a win on the weekend?
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: Well, it's a little bit of controversy. Actually, yes we did,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: I think, but the other team were scoring and we're
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: fudging the score.
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: A big accusation.
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: No, no, it's not an accusation. Who does that though?
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: But isn't that why you have two parents standing together?
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: Oh no that we don't do that, because you trust
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: it's eights. It's under eights. For God's sake, you wouldn't
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: imagine that would happen. But we were smashing them, and
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: so much so that I was saying to the umpire, no,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: they can have a throwing, they can have our throwing
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: and cheering them on and all the rest of it.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: And then suddenly at halftime it's even and one of
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: the parents on our side came out and goes, they're
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: fudging the thing, and I said, you know what, I
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: don't even care. We're not effectively keeping score.
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: It's not going to.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: Let's not say anything now, I've got a podcast.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so yes, we did win, but no we lost
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: by one apparently.
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: But I was about to ask you so in half
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: as a you don't keep.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: No, no, so they keep school. I don't know why
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: they even do that. I mean, who cares.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: So there was a bit of discussion about this in
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: the Facebook group last week about you know, keeping score
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: and what and the kids know. You know, even if
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: we all go, no, we're not keeping scores, it doesn't matter.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: The kids know. And some kids are really driven by
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: the desire to win, and that doesn't make them jerks.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: That just that's something that is within them, and it's
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: sort of like it's a perfectly acceptable way to be.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: It's also perfectly acceptable not to be driven to win,
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: particularly at that age, but it's like they shouldn't be
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: shamed for wanting to win and wanting to know the
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: score and whatever. But it is interesting, So.
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: There you go.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, I don't care. This is my
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: first actual weekend. I'm here coaching them. They leave me alone, no.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: Drama, please. Well I don't notice that. No one's us,
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: but the under eleven's had to win on the weekend too.
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: So well we just assumed they would.
• 5:51
  Speaker 5: Did you did the sun shine for you?
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: The sun shine it was beautiful. It was really lovely,
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: and the sunshine the day after as well. For the
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: city to serve ninety four people ran and then on
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: Monday just bucketing down and cold. So at least Sydney
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: got it right for once rain on a Monday.
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: So you got to win.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: We got to win, win, which is exciting. No, it
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: wasn't that close in the end. So yeah, the girls
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: came together. Well so what's done.
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: See you look what they can do when they get
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: on court.
• 6:17
  Speaker 5: Okay, so look at us. We've got the full spread,
• 6:19
  Speaker 5: a win, a loss, and an on the controversy, A.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: Controversy we love that. Maybe Liam can do some research
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: for us about this.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: I don't know if it's going to end up in
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: the courts like it did with that particularly game.
• 6:36
  Speaker 5: Hey, I'm speaking of controversy. Catherine.
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: I saw a story on the weekend that reminded me
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: so much of you. So when you come to stay
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: at my house, I live on a farm and my
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: house is in the middle of a paddock essentially. So
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: when Catherine comes to stay at my house, she does
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: a full audit of her room and she looks under everything,
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: and last time she found some daddy long legs in
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: her bedroom.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: Okay, so she's looking for creatures of the ape creatures variety.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: Looking for critters without legs even more, any type of
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: thing that should be outdoors that is indoors, she's looking
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: for them.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so and even when we go on walks, she's
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: always looking for snakes. And so if you look for
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: these things, you'll find them. But so Catherine got the
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: martine and sprayed her whole room, and I thought the
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: daddy long legs won't kill her, but the chemicals.
• 7:28
  Speaker 5: So I saw something this.
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: Week about a bloke in Townsville, I think who set
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: his car alike because there was a spider.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I get it, completely torched the pagero.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: What's your take on that? Would you find that odd?
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: Like if you found one in the car, what would
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: you do?
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: I don't really don't like spiders in the car. I'm
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: getting used to hunts persons and try to put them
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: outside rather than kill them.
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: But did you say hunts person?
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: Thank you for note it's twenty twenty four. Yes, the
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: huntsmen's freak me out because they are so erratic in
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: the way they move, but they're completely harmless, and I
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: know they're doing a good job. So I'm really trying
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: to battle my natural instinct, which is to throw a
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: shoe at them.
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: You have to get close enough to catch that to
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: put that outside.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: Well, okay, let's be honest. Mostly you take it one
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: leg down. My husband does a catch and release project
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: that is under my direct supervision, so I don't have
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: to get that close to them at all. So but
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: I completely understand wanting to burn down the house to
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: get rid of a spider. If I lose one, if
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: there's one in the house and I don't know where
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: it is, I'm unlikely to sleep that night.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I get that. I was driving to the airport
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: one morning. It was four point thirty in the morning,
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: so it was still dark. So the only light in
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: my car was as I went under the street lamps. Yeah,
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: I know, Like, that's it. So I went under one,
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: and I at the same time had looked in my
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: rearview mirror and there was a gianormous half the size,
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: no exaggeration on the back window, the very back window.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: So then you're like, oh, my god, is it inside
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: or outside the car? So I put the rear windscreen
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: wiper on to see if it would move.
• 9:11
  Speaker 5: It didn't move.
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: It was in the car.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: So then though because it was dark, I only had
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: vision of it every time I went under a light,
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: and I kid you not, we'd gone under maybe three lights,
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: and by that stage it was on the passenger window.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: It had scurried up and was right next to it.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: And you've got a plane to catch that. It's not
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: like I can get out.
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: And torch my car. Yeah.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: So but fortunately there was men, some men on the
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: roads doing early morning roadwork. And you know that they
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: have that light that's kind of like a lightsaber like
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: you would picture Luke Skywalker having. They had those because
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: they were kind of I don't know what they were doing. Anyway,
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: I pulled the car over like a crazy person and
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: jumped out.
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: Like, there's a spider in my car. There's a spider
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: in my car. You should have seen the looks on
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: their faces, like this is it?
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: I'm giving you now?
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: Say, how embarrassing for the Sisterhood, except they opened the
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: door at which time it's scurried out and they all
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: shut their pants.
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: Girls.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: I was like, okay, there's a bit of validation in this.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: And they squished it with their lights over things.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: Why didn't they just let it run away?
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: No, people don't do that, Yeah they do, because then
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: where is it, like it's dark? Where is it then
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: at that point they could have been on someone's loop.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: Liz, what about you if you encounter a spider? Are
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: you just joke?
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: Cool?
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: Well?
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: I am now when I when I lived in Sydney,
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: I wasn't And I remember when we moved into our
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: first unit, we didn't have flight screens on the windows.
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: And my dad was love and he was pretty handy,
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: and there was a you know those paperbark trees, I
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: swear to god, they just churn out huntsmen spiders. And
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: so I kept finding these huntsmen spiders in our bathroom
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: because it's were near the paper lights where the paper
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: bark tree branched sort of brushed off.
• 11:01
  Speaker 5: Up against the wall. And I said to my I
• 11:03
  Speaker 5: was like thirty, Oh, Daddy, those spiners are.
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: Coming in next minute he'd gone away, and like he
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: made me a heap of fly screens and he fashioned
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: the meat and that got rid of them. So I
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: used to be a bit freaked out by them, because
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: Mum was always freaked out by them, and when were little,
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: rather than smash them, because if you if you hit
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: them and you kill them, and their guts go everywhere.
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: Care factor.
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: Oh no, but then you got to clean the guts up.
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: So like Mum used to try and catch them and
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: release them. And one day there was one in the
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: house and my sister, like cat, was always really brave,
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: so she went and got a tup of weare container
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: and I had run into my room and shut the door,
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: and I didn't realize that she'd caught it and released it.
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: And she caught it and released it, and they went
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: and put a heap of rubber bands in the tupperware
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: container and ran into my room and opened the door.
• 11:48
  Speaker 5: And threw the type of.
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: How much weeks, Oh, so much.
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: I was like, it was a freakiest Ah, that's.
• 12:01
  Speaker 5: What sisters do to each other.
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: Anyway, after that, I when I moved up here, I thought, right,
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: I'm not going to pass this on to my kids.
• 12:08
  Speaker 5: And so whenever we get.
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: A huntsman in the house, I know it's good because
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: they're eating like ants.
• 12:13
  Speaker 5: And that sort of stuff, so there's a place for everything.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: So you are completely desensitized now. And the reason I
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: freak out about snakes up at their place is she's
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: made the mistake of telling me there's been a couple
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: in the house that they've found.
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: Oh no, it's just just tree snake.
• 12:28
  Speaker 5: I'm like, I don't care, I don't hurt you.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: So my natural instinct is to get hysterical and run away.
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: But because of the kids, you know, it's sort of
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: like I try to act more. You know, I've passed
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: on so many of my irrational phobias and now I
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: have to try to dial it back.
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: What's another one? Heights?
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: Both very scared of heights?
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well, are your kids scared of heights?
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: Now?
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: My son is, but again, he just did a high
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: rapes course at camp recently and conquered it and felt
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: really good, and so we're just we're all trying to
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: deal with it and not be controlled by But yeah,
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: I have quite rational fear of heights.
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: It's because you don't have any again with sorry.
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: It's why do you have such an irrational fear of heights?
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: And I don't know. I don't think it's so much heights.
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: I jump up on a netball court and you think
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: will I be able to get down safely?
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: That's why I chose not to have too much air
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: in my game. No, I don't know.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: My fear is around hurting, like something going pear shaped
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: and hurting myself so it's like roller coasters or the
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: cable card and table mountain in South Africa. Anything that
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: you think, oh my god, this could break, I can die.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: That's my fear.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: What about flying?
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: If I didn't fly every other weekend, I would be
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: freaked out.
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: So it's ridiculous.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: I'm fine with flying it sort of same as I don't.
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: I don't like roller coasters. I will do them, but
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: mostly I'm just sitting there thinking, very soon it will
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: be over and I can say that I have done this.
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: So but I do them because you know, again trying
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: to roll model stuff from do kids do stuff with
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: the kids. I don't like it, but I will do it.
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: But I can go on and play, no problem at all.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: Liza is like that we went to wett and Wild
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: in the Gold Coast not that long ago, and there's
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: one that is like straight down. You get in the
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: capsule and the floor drops out from underneath you and
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: Evelyn wanted to go on it, didn't she, And You're like, okay,
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: let's go. I'm thinking if my kids said that, I'd
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: be like, off you go.
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: Did you see that tree thing that she and Evelyn
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: climbed when they were in Western Australia. What was that, Liz,
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: That giant tree with just metal spikes out the side.
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that did freak out a little bit. The Bisentennaial Tree.
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: It's down near Pemberton, that's the name of the place.
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: So this tree, I think they've closed it since we did.
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: It, but that would be a sensible thing to do.
• 14:37
  Speaker 5: Like, it's unbelievable that it's still open.
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: It's literally just spikes and then there's a bit of
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: a like a metal mesh around behind you.
• 14:43
  Speaker 5: But you're hardly going to fall off backwards. All I
• 14:45
  Speaker 5: could think about it was if we fall off sort
• 14:47
  Speaker 5: of downwards.
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: But Evelyn started and she climbed, and she's always been
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: like this. There's a tree climb you can do up
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: in the Hintland and the Gold Coast, and when she
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: was like four, she climbed up it and I just.
• 14:57
  Speaker 5: Sort of hold her like onto a jumper as she went.
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: We should have stoped them, but I'm not that good
• 15:01
  Speaker 5: a pairent. I'm like, yeah, yeah, we'll all go up.
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: So her and I went up, and I started to
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: freak out a little bit as we got really high.
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: And then you get up to the top of the train,
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: it used to be used as a fire lookout, and
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: there's this whole platform and I just got down and
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: I'm on the platform like holding on to it.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: She was just standing up on safety harnesses or anything, not.
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: A safety not even anyone there supervising. Like it's I
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: love it though, because it's so like what the world
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: used to be.
• 15:26
  Speaker 5: Like that was it when we were little.
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah, when we were so in nine to eighty two,
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: my parents took us around Australia in the caravan and
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: that was there then, And it's like the last remaining
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: bit of just like old school stuff with no supervision.
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: You don't buy tickets, there's no safety. You just clamber
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: up it and you just like you climbing to the
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: top of this enormous tree and you're massively high in
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: the air, not a safety harness, insight.
• 15:49
  Speaker 5: It's fantastic.
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: Don't you love the good old days?
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: Think about the really trampolines that didn't have any safety
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: anything on them. I s fell on those metal stretchy
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: bits and.
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and you know, like we bought the safest trampoline
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: known to human kind, and I still managed to double
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: bout Zeville and a break her arm.
• 16:07
  Speaker 5: In it, so you know, you can.
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: Take all the safety perent cautions that you like, but
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: you know it doesn't protect you all the time.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: I work with a great comedian, Shawn Woodland Woody, and
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: he's got a bit about we now have a generation
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: of people in our army and police who've never been
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: on a playground that didn't have soft fall.
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: And so that's a good point.
• 16:28
  Speaker 5: That's so true.
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: So something that was scary on the weekend was there
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: was no netball. So it's sort of like I wanted
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: to ask you guys how you coped. But then it
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: occurred to me because I watched some of the others.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: There was other sport on on the weekend, and you
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: notice but the Olympians preparing for their big event, and
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: it's been a buddy cracking Olympic meat for us all
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: but big match day. I wanted to ask you guys,
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: say you had a test match that started at seven
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: o'clock at night, what do you do? How do you
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: spend that day? What's your prep? How do you not
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: spend your day freaking out about it?
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: It is a long day when you have a night match,
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: it's a long day.
• 17:03
  Speaker 5: So back in the olden days.
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: When we first started to play for the Swift, we
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: played at seven o'clock on a Friday night. But I'd
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: go to work all day and sort of clock add
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: at about two o'clock.
• 17:13
  Speaker 5: And come home and have some lunch.
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: But when you're on tour, we always trained in the morning,
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: and it was always a bit of a punish because
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: you're like, ah, but then it actually takes up time.
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: So you get up, you have your breaky, you go
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: and train, you come home, might have a little rest,
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: have some lunch, and then it's really about how you
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: spend the afternoon. But the key used to not play
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: the game in your head before you get out on court.
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: And that's just about distracting yourself, having a wander around
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: reading a book. So you got to be busy, but
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: stay off your legs, you know. So we weren't allowed
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: to go for shopping for hours and hours on end
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: or anything like that. So it is about distracting your
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: brain more than anything else.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: We did used to do, you know, like in the afternoon,
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: there'd be a little group that would go and do
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: coffee and whatever else. I used to love game day
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: just because it was a day with your teammates, that
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: was a bit cruisy. You know, you can have a
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: little afternoon nap if you wanted one, and then we'd
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: all get up and do our little coffee walk and
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: a little bit of a stretch. Shooters would go to
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: the post during the day even if we didn't train.
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: But remember you're going to say shooters would go to
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: the pub during the day. Well, got to be relaxed.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: But remember before we were professional, we would fly the
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: day of the game, go straight to the venue to train,
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: and then I don't even think we checked into a
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: hotel because quite often we would stay at the court
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: and then play the game and fly home because we
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: had no money for all the extra bits and pieces.
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: So it used to be a long, long, painful day,
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: didn't it.
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you've got to draw the line between like making
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: sure that you're rested and you're not being too active,
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: but they're not sitting around thinking about all the things
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: that like in the game. So you get on the
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: court and you're exhausted from playing the game in your head.
• 18:53
  Speaker 5: But Kathy, I remember when we used to it with
• 18:56
  Speaker 5: the Swifts. Jan troya manager.
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: She'd go at shopping and she get all these you know,
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: really you know, nice little treats, and so eventually everyone
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: is just wandering to her room and talk, smack, play
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: some cards.
• 19:06
  Speaker 5: Catherine and I played Rummy.
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: Cub until I reckon.
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: We conservatively played about fifteen thousand games of Rummy Cub
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: just to pass the time. So the worst was things
• 19:15
  Speaker 4: like at a World Cup, because you can't go and
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: do too much, like particularly when were at the World
• 19:20
  Speaker 4: Cup in Jamaica, we couldn't sort of go outside of
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: the hotel compound.
• 19:24
  Speaker 5: And this was in the.
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: Days before there were mobile phones, right, so you actually
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: had to talk to each other, play Rummy Cub, weren't
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: allowed to sun bake because you could have been the
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: sun because it would drain you. So there's like there's
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: so you just have to get into little routines and
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: it is about just hanging out with your teammates and
• 19:39
  Speaker 4: going for a coffee.
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: The absolute best thing ever those because we did often
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: go to the Caribbean, didn't we to play and to
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: train and all that sort of stuff, And the best
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: place ever to have jet lag. Elizabeth Ellis is Barbados, Barbadeos.
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: Lisa and I were up at god knows what time
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: every morning four o'clock every morning.
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: Are you awake?
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: Are you wake?
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: Should we go for a bodyboard? And we'd just get
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: up and go with it. We're in paradise, would you
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: try and fight it?
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: We'd be down there in the surf long before anybody
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: else woke up.
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah, And it didn't count towards our half hour outside
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: like in the sun that Jill McIntosh made us like.
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: She was like, I'm fair enough preparing for a World
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: Cup And she's like, right, you can't be in the
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: sun for longer than a half hour because we're up early.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: Nobody knew never happened, and it wasn't sunny because it
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: was still early.
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: Who's the worst roommate you ever had? On too? You
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: can't say me, Ah, I don't know that I had
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: a worst roommate. I come on, there's some interesting ones. Anyway.
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: I am roomed with one particular player who went into
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: the bathroom and came out brushing her teeth, chatting to me.
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: I was like, are you right, she's liked well, so
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: that's my toothbrush. She said, that's not.
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: That's mine and her screen and mine's like fluoro pick.
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: You could not have got them wrong. But also people
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: that were really heavy sleepers and sleep walkers that would
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: get up and gether TOI a litt or one of
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: them came back and got into bed with me one night,
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: one fell out of bed.
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: There's been sleep Walking's terrifying.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, really really scary. Thank god, I've done that.
• 21:12
  Speaker 5: Kid's ever done that. So they walked.
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: Harber does every now and then. And you can tell
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: because if she runs into my room in the middle
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: of the night, does she runs You can hear it
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: coming because she doesn't like the dark. But sometimes I'll
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: open eyes and she's just standing there because she's asleep.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: So she's just quietly walked in, very calm, like okay,
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: let's go back to bed, and she won't argue, and
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: she'll just go straight back to bed, and you're like, wow,
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: she's still asleep.
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we've had it a couple of times, and it is.
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: It's quite freaky, isn't it. But you think about these
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: places where it's sub zero temperatures outside and people let
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: themselves out of the house in the middle of the night,
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: It's like, it's really dangerous. Stuff. On that cheery note, Hey,
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: we actually have an exciting announcement at the end of
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: this episode that we should have talked about earlier, but
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: we'll come to that. I want to talk about what's
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: happening with Sun Corps, supernet Ball, signings, retirements and whispers,
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: et cetera. But I have to tell you, guys, I
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: had a massive celebrity encounter on the weekend that I
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: think is at least equal to your Dave grol.
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: Oh my god, no, ways, it's.
• 22:14
  Speaker 5: Better to be good.
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: Oh, it's good. It's good.
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: When we say encounter, was there, you know, like a
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: Sue Gordian story.
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: Was it passion of this particular No? No, And you'll
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: understand immediately why when I tell you, but I was
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: in Newtown. Guess you'll never guess, you will never. I
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: promise you you will never get though.
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: Do we know them.
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: It's as famous as Dave Grohl.
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: So we can't get let us get.
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: Well, you could try, but you know we're going to
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: be here forever and you won't get it. Okay, Well,
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: now I feel like we've wrecked it by the way.
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: But anyway, I was in Newtown on the weekend and
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: I met a French bulldog named Dave Growl. Oh god,
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: oh no.
• 23:01
  Speaker 5: That.
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: Excited And then how good. Wasn't at the end, right,
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: Dave Growle, fantastic.
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: I do love people that do that though. That's cool cute.
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: Okay, is that your story or is there actually we
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: know that.
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: It's pretty good. Okay, let's talk about sun Cops Superple.
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: So we are in the player signing period and there's
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: been some big announcements and I'm just wondering, Cat, whether
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: you've got me whispers you can share with us.
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: The two biggest ones thus far, both for the Queensland
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: Firebirds and two internationals. So we've got a Uganda in
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: Shekraane Mary Cholock, who is twenty seven two hundred and
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: one centimeters, so they've subbed in for Daniel Walla White
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: beautifully there and she's a superstar. Uganda came fifth at
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: the World Cup, so they've got some brilliant at the
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: moment they're going so well there. She's only the second
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: Ugand and to play in the sun Cop Supernepple after
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: Piece Poscrobe Proskovia.
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: Easy for me to say.
• 24:09
  Speaker 5: Yeah, she played for Sunshine Cay slantin, didn't.
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: She She did Peace yeap.
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: And then the other one they announced a couple of
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: days later was immage and Allison so a English rose
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: twenty six forty three caps for the Roses, and she'll
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: be a brilliant mid quarter little sub right in there
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: instead of Kim Revellion who's announced her retirement.
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: How good's that?
• 24:30
  Speaker 5: It is?
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: Exciting, isn't it. I thought there would be more of
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: a flood of announcements by now, but you know, I
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: guess they're coming. We've still got another weakish.
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it'd be very interesting because I guess a lot
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: of those potential internationals will be getting pulled in a
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: few different directions from clubs that want them, although as
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: we saw from that list that was up on Facebook,
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: there's not a whole heap of spots in teams. Sad
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: to see Laura Sherran announce her time at the way.
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: What exciting for her and what an ending to her career.
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: Fact a Zillian player she is because she first debuted
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: in National Netball League in twenty ten with the Firebirds
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: and then she didn't get another contract until twenty and seventeen. Wow,
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: So she was in the wasteland for such a long
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: time until the Lightning picked her up and then she
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: ends a career with three premierships.
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: How goods are fantastic, What a legend.
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: I hope she has a fabulous retirement and enjoys a
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: bit of downtime.
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: I am a little worried though, with her retiring and
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: it's still being unclear what's happening with Kelsey Brown. Will
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: there be anyone in the one sixty centimeter range playing
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: in sun Court super Netball next year? Wait and see
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: I get a caller. Maybe. Well, I told you that's
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: more about the dream coaching side. Although did you see
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: so the Dribblers were waiting for you to start the
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: discussion on Facebook about the dream team, so they started
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: their own.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: Which I know I thought they were going to start,
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: and I was just going to jump in. Sorry, guys,
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: I'm mad.
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but there is some hot debate there. But I
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: note that some of the Thunderbirds fans are just saying, well,
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: it just has to be all the Thunderbirds players. They
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: won back to back premierships and it's so yeah, but
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: they didn't win every single game in the season, so
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: there are other players on other teams who are very excellent.
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: So anyway, as long as Georgie Horges is in there,
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: three or four times.
• 26:15
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but she can't play all the positions, Catherine.
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: She could play at least three or four of them.
• 26:20
  Speaker 4: I do want to ask you about the new signing
• 26:23
  Speaker 4: for the five Birds, Mary two hundred and one centimeters.
• 26:27
  Speaker 5: She's pretty tall. Are you worried that we're seeing the
• 26:30
  Speaker 5: end of the moving goal shooter?
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: No?
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: I think if they signed a two hundred and one
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: centimeter goal attack or their whole attack line was tall. Yes,
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: but I think every team has got one super tall
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: strike shooter, don't they.
• 26:45
  Speaker 5: Except for the Swifts.
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: I think Carolyn, you have had a monster weekend. There's
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: been no netball, and thank god really because you wouldn't
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: have been able to fit it in.
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: No, I'm wrecked. It's been a big couple of weekends
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: of comedy for me. I had the comedy still run,
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: and then this last weekend I was Thirsty night Lake mcquarie,
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: Friday night, Blue Mountains, Saturday night Cayama. And it's a
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: little bit like the pre professional test netle days because
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: we were just bus in and bus out.
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: So why would they schedule them Lake mcquarie to Blue Mountains.
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: Well, there be further apart.
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but there's sort of two two and a half
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: hours from Sydney, so you know we're in and out.
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: It's taxing, but it's like that is this part of
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: the Sydney Comedy Festival showcase. So they take a different
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: show on the road and go to various different places,
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: fabulous shows like I did one recently at Penrith Panthers
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: for nine hundred people, which is just fantastic, huge. You know,
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: it is still Sydney, but that's part of the showcase.
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: But yeah, it's about getting comedy out of the Inner
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: West and the usual big theaters right in the center
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: of town, and the locals get right behind it. They're
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: always sell outs. It's absolutely fabulous.
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: Is there a particular place that's a nightmare to do
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: shows because it's like, I don't know, an unruly crowd
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: or they heckle or m well.
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: I always love performing at the Sydney Comedy Store, but
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: Friday before last they were animals. Yeah, just and it
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: was partly heckling but more just people having their own
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: parties going on during the shows. And it's like, guys,
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: if you're that drunk, just leave and you know, back
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: and forth to the toilets all night. It's like, okay,
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: someone's bought some cocaine. It's like, could you just stop it,
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: like go be here or don't be here. But two
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: people vomited on the carpet. It was just anything like it.
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: The bar staff, the poor buggers were oh my goodness.
• 28:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, on your road trips, like a road
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: trips with comedians funny or you just all sit there
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: in moro silace.
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: No, no, there's some good chats. But I think there
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: is a bit of pressure for everyone to bring their
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: a game conversationally. So but what we did was a
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: lot of quizzes from the Sydney Morning Herald Good Weekend,
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: which was great.
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: Do you feel that though, like when you're talking to people,
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: do you feel there's an amount of pressure on you
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: to bring a little something like to be funny all
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: the time?
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: Look more so now quite often when I meet people
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: and they go, you're a comedy, say something funny, it's
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: like you're an idiot. So you're not paying me for
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: this conversation. So no, it's generally what my response is.
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: But if you want to throw me a fiver, no,
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: I got a knock knock joke for you for five bucks.
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: Yes it was. It was a big weekend, but I
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: didn't you know, I wasn't able to watch any netball
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: on my phone, which was a which was a shame.
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: So can we tell our news? Can we tell our news?
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: Can you tell our news? It's exciting, it's so exciting. Actually,
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: this is really exciting.
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: It actually is, Dribblers. We're not like because we did
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: talk it.
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: This is this is better than the Dave Growl story.
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: This is legit exciting.
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: So exciting news. I'll need another pen so I can
• 29:42

• 33:58
  Speaker 2: help us. We need a secretary we do currently it's
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: me and that's ye. Do you know when you think
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: you're really good at something. I've never thought that I'm
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: particularly good at admin. I think I'm really good at
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: reverse parking. And I did something fabulous last week.
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: No, I saw you trying to get out of my
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: very straight driveway the other day.
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: That was almost that was a tricky visitors parking space,
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: and I didn't want to hit your car.
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: Do you know what it needed in the background?
• 34:26
  Speaker 5: Benny Hill.
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: Well, I have a fabulous little Honda Jazz that I
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: take everywhere because it parks so easily. Whenever I go
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: to a comedy gig, I take that one because I
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: can get into small parking spaces. And when we were
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: arriving today to do this podcast, we're in Willem Maloose,
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: so parking is a bit tight. But I saw a
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: really small space and I thought, I'm an awesome reverse parker,
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: and I got my car into this absurdly small space
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: after about five or six goes, got it in. Soon
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: as I got out and hit the lock button on
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: my car, the guy in front gets in his car
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: and drives off ninety seconds earlier or ninety seconds later. Please,
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: that was just cruel.
• 35:08
  Speaker 4: No, But if he got in ninety seconds earlier, you
• 35:10
  Speaker 4: don't have the sense of achievement that you now have
• 35:12
  Speaker 4: because you are an excellent reverse park Thank you.
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: I would hope that he was just standing across the road.
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: I hope, so that's exactly what I would do. I
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: love it when I'm sitting at a cafe and you
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: see someone try to do a reverse park and they
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: just butcher it a couple of times, and then it's
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: like you just have to drive away, Just drive away.
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: You cannot stay at this It's done. That's all we've
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: got time for this week, So remember put in your
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: diary that the twenty second of September. I couldn't remember
• 35:39
