Speaker 1: Today is Friday, the thirty first of July. On this
0:11
Speaker 1: day in seventeen seventy seven, if you are thinking that
0:14
Speaker 1: you have not achieved enough in your life, you are
0:16
Speaker 1: probably right, because Marquis de Lafayette was appointed major general
0:20
Speaker 1: in the French Army at the age of nineteen. So
0:24
Speaker 1: that's just depressing. But in nineteen twenty eight, on the
0:27
Speaker 1: thirty first of July, the first ever women's Olympic track
0:30
Speaker 1: event was contested and won by Elizabeth Robinson of the USA.
0:35
Speaker 1: And look at us now like that is less than
0:38
Speaker 1: one hundred years ago, was the very first one, and
0:41
Speaker 1: now women's sport dominating will Games.
0:44
Speaker 2: I need to know what the track event was though,
0:45
Speaker 2: before we moved.
0:46
Speaker 1: On one hundred meters. Yeah, someone came second from Canada
0:50
Speaker 1: and her name was Fanny. Anyway, you're on no dribble
0:53
Speaker 1: strap in now I'm wondering whether that was an appropriate
1:12
Speaker 1: thing to say.
1:12
Speaker 3: No, But do you know what I don't know? Of
1:14
Speaker 3: course it is. It's always inappropriateness is appropriate. Well, you
1:18
Speaker 3: know the Magic Far Away Tree? You know those books? Yes,
1:22
Speaker 3: my kids listened to an audio book and when they
1:24
Speaker 3: first started listening to them, I was a bit confused
1:27
Speaker 3: because when I was little we listened to well, when
1:30
Speaker 3: I read the books, the names were Joe Beth and
1:33
Speaker 3: Fatty and their cousin Dick. And then you listen to
1:37
Speaker 3: the audio books and that's Joe Beth and Franny and
1:39
Speaker 3: their cousin Rich. Clearly it's been done for parents like
1:44
Speaker 3: me who would snigger every time they said Fanny and Dick.
1:47
Speaker 3: So there you go.
1:47
Speaker 2: Yeah, and the kids too. What it did remind me
1:51
Speaker 2: of though, have you seen there's a clip on socials
1:53
Speaker 2: from the UK the Chase the show, and one of
1:57
Speaker 2: the questions is around the name of a swimmer and it's.
2:00
Speaker 1: Fanish Smellowish Smell.
2:04
Speaker 2: And the nicest absolutely lo is it? Oh great?
2:10
Speaker 1: So hello and welcome to No Dribble, the podcast where
2:13
Speaker 1: we talk about netball and really so much more. My
2:17
Speaker 1: name's Carolyn Swindell. I'm I'm Fanish Smellow.
2:24
Speaker 2: I know I was gonna say, we talk about so
2:26
Speaker 2: much more. Well, so far it's been funny.
2:34
Speaker 3: But my best friend's name is Sucker mccox, So there
2:37
Speaker 3: you go.
2:41
Speaker 1: It sounds like something you could buy at your local
2:43
Speaker 1: Golden Archers. No, now we've had a little bit that
2:46
Speaker 1: we've gone rogue here. We've gone rogue here today because
2:51
Speaker 1: we're doing everything in a strange order. Catherine, did you
2:55
Speaker 1: have a little bit of an open mic in commentary?
2:59
Speaker 2: Obviously I'm ben own to us, but apparently we did
3:02
Speaker 2: because it was coming up on socials and I believe
3:05
Speaker 2: some of our dribblers, Liz Ellis, did you hear it?
3:08
Speaker 3: Yeah, of course, it as if I was going to
3:10
Speaker 3: text you to tell you to stop talking time. I'm
3:12
Speaker 3: listening to what she was saying.
3:14
Speaker 2: Because we were, because then you freak out about what
3:17
Speaker 2: was it that you were saying? What have these people heard?
3:19
Speaker 3: So do you know what you said?
3:21
Speaker 1: Because I didn't hear it?
3:22
Speaker 2: Well, yes, so only because the dribblers heard it. They
3:26
Speaker 2: put it on our Facebook page. So apparently we were
3:28
Speaker 2: talking about pronunciations of players, Thank god, because we were
3:33
Speaker 2: talking about lots of stuff. But it has been a
3:35
Speaker 2: nice little reminder to watch your p's and q's at
3:37
Speaker 2: all times.
3:38
Speaker 3: Yes, and miss Elizabeth is Adam Cox your producer?
3:42
Speaker 2: Yes?
3:43
Speaker 3: Yeah, so he obviously has produced it. Well before he
3:46
Speaker 3: produced back when we used to beround Channel ten or
3:51
Speaker 3: sometime in that period. I forget, but he's as soon
3:55
Speaker 3: as I saw that you guys that what you were
3:59
Speaker 3: saying was coming through. The first thing, I heard his
4:01
Speaker 3: voice in my head saying, or Mike's alive, Elizabeth, or
4:05
Speaker 3: Mike's are alive. If he got onto the blur and
4:09
Speaker 3: said remember ladies, or Mike's arelive.
4:11
Speaker 2: No, but we did work out what had happened. But
4:14
Speaker 2: funnily is because when we walked in for the very
4:16
Speaker 2: first game and I saw him, I was like, two
4:18
Speaker 2: big cocks are on Judy here. What could possibly go wrong?
4:22
Speaker 3: This is great?
4:24
Speaker 2: No, So what we did we did a test. So
4:27
Speaker 2: we did a test with one of our producers. We
4:29
Speaker 2: had to turn the mics on and he said, just
4:31
Speaker 2: chat for three minutes or so, just we want to
4:33
Speaker 2: make sure everything's And apparently that then was put out
4:38
Speaker 2: to the masses. But the pronunciations, I can tell you what,
4:42
Speaker 2: No matter how much you prepare or your study or whatever,
4:45
Speaker 2: it's the last minute, somebody will say, oh no, it's
4:48
Speaker 2: said like this. So Olivia cheen for instance, from England,
4:54
Speaker 2: they sent through the phonetic spelling of it, which was
4:58
Speaker 2: chene okay, so not gene. But then we asked the
5:03
Speaker 2: UK commentators, who obviously know her the best, to send
5:06
Speaker 2: through an audio note they said Sheen, but then we
5:10
Speaker 2: found a clip of her saying her own name and
5:13
Speaker 2: she says Cheen, like, so what are you supposed to
5:16
Speaker 2: do anyway? So Kim and I are having this big
5:17
Speaker 2: debate and apparently that's what made it onto. So it's
5:20
Speaker 2: not that riuutine, but it was a nice little reminder
5:23
Speaker 2: to be very careful when you enter a room where
5:25
Speaker 2: there's microphones in place. Has that happened to you before, though.
5:29
Speaker 3: Liz sort of, so many Amedia career has been cut
5:32
Speaker 3: short by that sort of stuff. One of the things
5:37
Speaker 3: that had something happened very similar when back in the
5:41
Speaker 3: an Z Chap days and Kelly Underwood and I used
5:44
Speaker 3: to do a lot of the commentary together. What we
5:46
Speaker 3: didn't realize because no one told us, was that when
5:49
Speaker 3: we were off air, even though we were off air,
5:52
Speaker 3: like in quartered time breaks and halftime breaks in Australia,
5:57
Speaker 3: for the first time the feed had been sold internationally,
6:00
Speaker 3: so you could get us on netball Pass in a
6:03
Speaker 3: few places around the world that games have been picked up.
6:05
Speaker 3: But if because we're being streamed on netball Pass, the
6:08
Speaker 3: whole feed went out right, So everything that we talked
6:11
Speaker 3: about a quarter time and halftime went out to the
6:14
Speaker 3: international fiend. Thankfully it was looking at stats, but it
6:18
Speaker 3: wasn't quite It was nowhere near as polished as what
6:21
Speaker 3: you would seeing. We'd be like, oh, she's having a
6:23
Speaker 3: shaker and oh god, that was bad, and what about that?
6:26
Speaker 3: Like you'd had these conversations and then I took I
6:31
Speaker 3: was starting to get all these weird messages on social saying, oh,
6:34
Speaker 3: is that what you think? And I'm like, that's not
6:36
Speaker 3: what I said in commentary but in the quarter time break.
6:40
Speaker 3: So anyway, we sort of got that fixed up. But
6:42
Speaker 3: the closest I've been with someone who and it was
6:45
Speaker 3: nearly a disaster, was back when I was working for
6:48
Speaker 3: Channel ten and Luke Darcy and I were commentating together.
6:51
Speaker 3: So we would do before you do the opening, you know,
6:54
Speaker 3: you go hello and welcome to sun Corps Super Netball
6:57
Speaker 3: and it's round four and we're hearing Perth doing the
7:00
Speaker 3: West Coast Fever blah blah blah. So you always do
7:02
Speaker 3: your big opening, which Luke would do, and we'd do
7:05
Speaker 3: the rehearsals, and so during rehearsal we would keep each
7:08
Speaker 3: other amuse because we're doing three or four games on
7:10
Speaker 3: a weekend. We keep each other amused by just saying ridiculous,
7:15
Speaker 3: very unpc silly things, and we would make ourselves laugh.
7:19
Speaker 3: We'd make the truck laugh, as Catherine knows, always trying
7:21
Speaker 3: to make the people in the track laugh. And so
7:24
Speaker 3: we must have been rushed for time or something happened
7:26
Speaker 3: in this game in Perth or Adelaide and Luke launched
7:30
Speaker 3: into this spill, and I knew that it was the start.
7:34
Speaker 3: I knew that we hadn't done the rehearsal, but I
7:36
Speaker 3: knew this was also live on end. There was something
7:38
Speaker 3: had happened and we hadn't done the rehearsal, and he
7:39
Speaker 3: hadn't picked up on that, and so he started and
7:43
Speaker 3: he started to say things, and I'm holding my microphone
7:46
Speaker 3: looking at him, trying to give him the shut up,
7:50
Speaker 3: because usually it was me saying dumb things and him
7:52
Speaker 3: looking at me, going, that's just ridiculous. And so he
7:55
Speaker 3: said something really random about cats, and I didn't react,
7:59
Speaker 3: and so we got to the end of his fruit
8:02
Speaker 3: of the break and he goes, why don't you laugh,
8:04
Speaker 3: And I'm like, because we were alive, and look on
8:07
Speaker 3: his face he was like, oh my well, you could
8:11
Speaker 3: just and you could see him do the mental checklist
8:16
Speaker 3: of what did I say? What did I say? What
8:17
Speaker 3: did I say? And then afterwards he was like, oh
8:19
Speaker 3: my god, my whole media career flashed in front of
8:22
Speaker 3: my eyes. And happily he didn't say anything. It was
8:23
Speaker 3: just that was bad. He just said something that was
8:26
Speaker 3: really random, and he goes, oh, no, the cat lovers
8:28
Speaker 3: are going to be after me.
8:31
Speaker 2: You know, similar happened to me not that long ago
8:33
Speaker 2: with Clint stand Away, except he knew we had gone live.
8:36
Speaker 2: I didn't. So this is the opener. He's launched in it,
8:39
Speaker 2: but he's so chill, so his rehearsal is very similar
8:43
Speaker 2: to the way he'd do his opener. I didn't know
8:45
Speaker 2: he'd switched from one to the other, and so, you know,
8:48
Speaker 2: we were doing the same thing, having a bit of fun.
8:49
Speaker 2: Next minute he does his thing and then he goes, hey,
8:52
Speaker 2: what do you think cath like this? And I was like, yeah, yeah, yeah,
8:54
Speaker 2: we'll talk about it later. Lah la la.
8:56
Speaker 3: That was live.
8:58
Speaker 2: And then Bianca fortunately was standing there and she knew
9:01
Speaker 2: and she picked up and jumped in and then all
9:03
Speaker 2: of a sudden, I'm like, oh god, I no.
9:09
Speaker 3: And you sort of and look, I know that I
9:12
Speaker 3: might have been working with you during the hub. I
9:15
Speaker 3: was we were doing the big opening to a game
9:17
Speaker 3: when we're in Queensland for COVID and were doing like
9:20
Speaker 3: double headers, like four nights a week doing double headers.
9:23
Speaker 3: And I went to say hello and welcome. We're at
9:25
Speaker 3: the Sunshine Coast today. We we're watching and I just
9:28
Speaker 3: couldn't remember the teams that we're watching and got in
9:33
Speaker 3: my ear and when it's lightning, blood and I went,
9:36
Speaker 3: so just doing so many games and think it's the
9:39
Speaker 3: worst thing, but then you realize people see stuff on
9:42
Speaker 3: television and they go, oh, yeah, well that happens. But
9:44
Speaker 3: it was water faying, like I'm a netball compentainer and
9:48
Speaker 3: this is a really I'm talking about a really big
9:49
Speaker 3: game and I can't remember who he is because this
9:52
Speaker 3: is the tenth game that I've done this week. Nothing left.
9:56
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh god, let me share with you one Mine
9:59
Speaker 1: was not in commentary obviously. It was just an email
10:03
Speaker 1: that I sent to one person. But I was working
10:06
Speaker 1: at the Warrangaroo Delivery Authority, which is in so Sydney
10:09
Speaker 1: has got this new urban renewal area. This was twenty
10:13
Speaker 1: ten and Paul Keating was the head of our design
10:15
Speaker 1: review panel. He was very heavily involved. That would be
10:18
Speaker 1: apartments if not for Paul Keating. So whatever you think
10:21
Speaker 1: of him politically, you can thank him that we have
10:23
Speaker 1: the barangaroo headline. Anyway, we wanted to have a public
10:26
Speaker 1: meeting and sort of get him to speak, and we
10:28
Speaker 1: got these big architects out from the UK, so Richard
10:32
Speaker 1: Rogers came out and so I wrote a letter, an
10:36
Speaker 1: email to Paul Keating asking him if he'd liked to
10:40
Speaker 1: speak at this public meeting. But I wrote pubic meeting
10:47
Speaker 1: and spellcheck won't pick it up because pubic is a
10:50
Speaker 1: legitimate word.
10:51
Speaker 2: So who's going pubing meet?
10:53
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you know spellcheck doesn't pick it up. But
10:57
Speaker 1: you know who does pick it up, Paul Keet. He
11:00
Speaker 1: picks that stuff up very very quickly. Yeah. And this
11:05
Speaker 1: was my first interaction with him, and I was really
11:10
Speaker 1: keen to kind of prove my worth to him. I
11:15
Speaker 1: was quite in awe of him, and he didn't really
11:20
Speaker 1: like me because I'd worked for Bromin Bishop earlier on.
11:22
Speaker 1: So I was like, no, this is good. I'll show
11:24
Speaker 1: him how professional and competent I am and I asked
11:28
Speaker 1: him to speak at a pubic meeting.
11:29
Speaker 2: Now, I'm pretty sure we have told this story or
11:31
Speaker 2: not dribble before, but I can't remember when did you
11:34
Speaker 2: find out? When did you realize? Did he say something
11:36
Speaker 2: back or did you send a go oh crap.
11:39
Speaker 1: No, no, one of my colleagues. Fortunately I had BCC
11:43
Speaker 1: one of my colleagues in so he could he was aware,
11:48
Speaker 1: and so he sent me one back and just said,
11:49
Speaker 1: I wonder how Paul's going to feel coming to the
11:52
Speaker 1: pubic meeting. Just oh it was And so I just
11:57
Speaker 1: had to send a note and Paul Keating said, yeah,
12:01
Speaker 1: that was interesting.
12:02
Speaker 3: I'll come back to you.
12:04
Speaker 1: Oh God, way to go in the first week in
12:07
Speaker 1: a job.
12:08
Speaker 2: But you make yourself memorable.
12:09
Speaker 1: It makes yourself memorable. So speaking of pubic though, can
12:14
Speaker 1: I just tell you though everyone I know everyone was
12:16
Speaker 1: wondering my poo test came back. I'm healthy. So do
12:19
Speaker 1: you test everyone?
12:20
Speaker 3: Because you just get a quick.
12:21
Speaker 1: Letter back saying results negative or if there's something you
12:24
Speaker 1: need to look at, then you go and look at it.
12:26
Speaker 1: But yeah, I thought I could have got a high
12:28
Speaker 1: distinction or something, but apparently it's just a result. There
12:32
Speaker 1: was showed negative.
12:33
Speaker 3: So that's try harder.
12:37
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think she did. That was the problem at
12:40
Speaker 2: the start, wasn't it.
12:41
Speaker 1: Should we take you a little break and come back
12:42
Speaker 1: and talk about some netball? Yes? Sure, Okay, Well we're
12:57
Speaker 1: all over the shop this week. We've got a lot
12:59
Speaker 1: going on. There's a lot of netball going on still.
13:02
Speaker 1: Obviously I have received an interesting couple of messages from
13:08
Speaker 1: our good friend Rachel airs so aw an umpire. Yes, so, Rachel,
13:13
Speaker 1: as you know, was an international umpire, one of the
13:16
Speaker 1: greatest in the world, and sort of retired a couple
13:18
Speaker 1: of years ago. Unfortunately, if you are an Australian umpire,
13:22
Speaker 1: you then never get to umpire things like the Commonwealth
13:25
Speaker 1: Games Gold medal match because the diamonds are always in there.
13:28
Speaker 1: So she didn't get to umpire some of the biggest matches,
13:31
Speaker 1: but was one of the best. But anyway, and if
13:34
Speaker 1: she did a really great summer series interview with us,
13:37
Speaker 1: not the summer we've just had the one before it.
13:40
Speaker 1: But anyway, she has responded about nail checks and then
13:43
Speaker 1: gave us some good stories about coin tosses. So at
13:47
Speaker 1: Super Netball, nail checks are done in the team change rooms.
13:50
Speaker 1: These are done at the time indicated on the event
13:52
Speaker 1: run sheet. At a tournament such as the Commonwealth Games
13:56
Speaker 1: or Network World Cup, it depends on the setup. If
13:58
Speaker 1: teams have a change room, it might be done there
14:00
Speaker 1: or in a warm up area. Again, will be done
14:03
Speaker 1: at the designated time on the run sheet. Now to
14:06
Speaker 1: Kaf's point about why we do checks every day, we
14:09
Speaker 1: are also checking for jewelry and of any other adornment
14:12
Speaker 1: that might have appeared since the previous.
14:15
Speaker 2: Oh, because quite often you pop out and get a
14:17
Speaker 2: mid tournament nosering.
14:18
Speaker 1: Yep, something like that. Obviously you might want to celebrate
14:21
Speaker 1: and then you go and you think, let's just get
14:23
Speaker 1: another piercing. So they're looking at that. But good example
14:26
Speaker 1: might be when Mazie Nankevell broke her nose and remember
14:29
Speaker 1: she had to play with that plastic protective mask. Oh
14:33
Speaker 1: so yeah, so that's the sort of thing that they're
14:35
Speaker 1: looking at. Also, a lot of the Caribbean teams have
14:38
Speaker 1: beads in their hair, so they are checking. It's not
14:42
Speaker 1: just to see have your nails grown at a superhuman
14:46
Speaker 1: rate overnight. So yes, so thank you Rachel.
14:50
Speaker 3: And also I think that the use of the word
14:53
Speaker 3: adornment should get a much bigger run. That is a
14:55
Speaker 3: great learn. Thank you for your excellent vocabulary.
15:00
Speaker 1: From the woman who's managed to use diaspora in an
15:03
Speaker 1: episode this week, So I'm very impressed with that. Liz,
15:06
Speaker 1: thank you. When you were talking about Tonga, then she said,
15:10
Speaker 1: do you want some stories about the coin toss? I said, hell, yes,
15:13
Speaker 1: we want some stories about a coin toss. So she's
15:16
Speaker 1: got to read the coin toss back when Norma Plumber
15:19
Speaker 1: was a diamonds coach, so we know it's going to
15:21
Speaker 1: be a great story. Right off, straightened up Cat's clenching.
15:31
Speaker 1: Back when Norma Plumber was a diamonds coach, there was
15:33
Speaker 1: a drama at a test series in New Zealand Stop
15:36
Speaker 1: kel Sapriz because the umpires were tossing for sides in
15:40
Speaker 1: the change room that had to be moved to courtside
15:43
Speaker 1: to avoid any perceived fudging of the result, and also
15:47
Speaker 1: a little concern that there might be something some trickery
15:51
Speaker 1: done that would mean that a particular umpire ended up
15:54
Speaker 1: at one end of the court in the final quarter.
15:58
Speaker 2: Stop.
16:01
Speaker 3: That's interesting. It is very hard, but good for integrity
16:06
Speaker 3: if you can bring it out into the open, true.
16:08
Speaker 1: Great for integrity. That's right, and this one is terrific.
16:11
Speaker 1: At the last Glasgow Commonwealth Games, teams were having their
16:15
Speaker 1: own coin toss in the warm up area before the game.
16:18
Speaker 1: As the reserve umpire, I went to do this, So I,
16:21
Speaker 1: being Rachel is here, I'm just reading her message. As
16:25
Speaker 1: the reserve umpire, I went to do this with our
16:27
Speaker 1: usual fifty cent coin. Doesn't roll as far because of
16:30
Speaker 1: the edges as it's octagonal. Right. Well, there was an
16:33
Speaker 1: appeal after the match because teams were confused about which
16:36
Speaker 1: side of the coin was a designated heads, their point
16:39
Speaker 1: being that both the kangaroo and the emu and the
16:41
Speaker 1: queen all have heads, to which Rachel's response was yes,
16:47
Speaker 1: but as far as I know, her, majesty, the Queen
16:50
Speaker 1: does not have a tail.
16:57
Speaker 2: That is brilliant.
16:59
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, so funny. That's international sport.
17:03
Speaker 2: Oh and that actually appealed it. But there's two heads
17:07
Speaker 2: on that side.
17:08
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I assume an appeal happens after the game.
17:13
Speaker 2: Well yeah, kid, Well, obviously if you lose, is that
17:16
Speaker 2: what you resolve If.
17:19
Speaker 1: There's a problem with the coin toss, do you appeal
17:21
Speaker 1: the coin toss in the moment and go hang on,
17:23
Speaker 1: I don't see how that can work.
17:24
Speaker 3: Well, you'd have to.
17:25
Speaker 2: You can't do it after the fat like if you've lost,
17:29
Speaker 2: and I'll try your toys about the coin.
17:31
Speaker 3: I don't know, but maybe there were teams who had
17:35
Speaker 3: never come across the Kangaroo or the Hemu before. They're unusual.
17:38
Speaker 1: It's terrrileriiant thank you Rachel. That came from and asked
17:44
Speaker 1: from the goat last week. And then of course here
17:47
Speaker 1: we have a goat umpire calling in to help us out,
17:50
Speaker 1: so that is very exciting.
17:53
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right. Actually, speaking of speaking of the coin toss,
17:57
Speaker 3: can we give a shout out to the Governor General
17:59
Speaker 3: Sam Bustin did the coin toss for Australia. She was
18:02
Speaker 3: per coin toss was outstanding, so there'll be any appeals
18:06
Speaker 3: about her.
18:07
Speaker 2: And she was in my favorite green suit I think,
18:09
Speaker 2: wasn't she.
18:10
Speaker 3: Yes, so yeah before Catherine. Yeah, she's the patron of
18:16
Speaker 3: Netball Australia and so she's.
18:18
Speaker 2: Also the patron in chief of the Common Off Games
18:20
Speaker 2: of Australia.
18:21
Speaker 3: Yes, so she's doing double ginish. I mean that is
18:24
Speaker 3: just excellent time efficiency, isn't it? Like you tick off
18:27
Speaker 3: both COmON off games tick diamonds tick, doing it all
18:29
Speaker 3: at once, doing the coin toss in your favorite green suit, which,
18:32
Speaker 3: if I recall rightly, we got invited to. She hosted
18:35
Speaker 3: the launch of the Netball Australia Strategic Plan at Kirabilly.
18:39
Speaker 3: Is an Admiralty house at Kirabilly and within forty seconds
18:42
Speaker 3: of Catherine walking in, were saying to the Governor General,
18:45
Speaker 3: where do you get your suits made?
18:50
Speaker 1: You have a red suit though, which is amazing, And Liz,
18:54
Speaker 1: you have worn is it a yellow or an orange suit?
18:58
Speaker 1: Am I right? Because I'm just wondering that we might
19:00
Speaker 1: get the three of you to do some traffic light
19:02
Speaker 1: modeling for us time getting you all together.
19:05
Speaker 3: In that yellow.
19:08
Speaker 1: Yeah.
19:08
Speaker 3: Look, I'm going to be honest. All of my nice
19:10
Speaker 3: colored suits are suits that I've failed to return to
19:13
Speaker 3: various television stations after my employment there. But they've all
19:18
Speaker 3: got to be they were going to be altered to
19:19
Speaker 3: fit me, so no one else in television's six foot
19:22
Speaker 3: tall that was going to.
19:23
Speaker 2: The funny You say that because we're doing the com
19:26
Speaker 2: Moth Games and Channel seven obviously, and Emma Friedman is
19:29
Speaker 2: one of the hosts. I saw her last night. She's
19:30
Speaker 2: a tiny little pocket rocket. She's so she's amazing, but
19:35
Speaker 2: she's so tiny. Anyway, I walked out with some pants
19:38
Speaker 2: and she's, oh, I love those pants. I said, yeah,
19:40
Speaker 2: they're amazing. There so long, and she goes, yeah, I
19:42
Speaker 2: would never complain about that. I said, yeah, well you
19:44
Speaker 2: don't have to. You don't need extra length. Your pants
19:49
Speaker 2: are all long. You get to take them up. That's
19:51
Speaker 2: not something that tall people have them, you.
19:52
Speaker 1: Know that luxury saddest story over come.
19:57
Speaker 2: Anyway, I was just thinking she would never encoun to
20:00
Speaker 2: an issue like that. Just no.
20:02
Speaker 1: Yeah, I did buy some cropped pants from Q a
20:05
Speaker 1: while ago, and I didn't have to get them. They're
20:07
Speaker 1: not cropped. They're just a proper length pair of trousers
20:09
Speaker 1: on me. So you know, actually yes, actually we don't
20:13
Speaker 1: say it like that, like you know how tall I am?
20:15
Speaker 2: Not? No, but they were meant to be crop pants
20:19
Speaker 2: and they're full length on you.
20:20
Speaker 1: Yep. I can't. I can't with gym tights. I can't
20:23
Speaker 1: even get the seven eighths because they're still too long
20:25
Speaker 1: for me and a bunch around the ankles. I have
20:27
Speaker 1: to get three quarters and then they sit at about
20:29
Speaker 1: the seven eighths and what what we are the world, Catherine,
20:33
Speaker 1: people I love.
20:35
Speaker 4: Do you know what I'd like to do is for
20:36
Speaker 4: you to chop that extra stuff off and give it
20:38
Speaker 4: and give it to you? Yeah, because I think it
20:39
Speaker 4: is it's easier to stuff off than to get extra
20:43
Speaker 4: length in things. So AnyWho, I did.
20:47
Speaker 1: I did go to the reunion on Saturday night and
20:49
Speaker 1: got my daughter to give me some fashion suggestions first,
20:52
Speaker 1: and she had me in these sort of more modern
20:54
Speaker 1: wide leg jeans and things. But on the night I
20:56
Speaker 1: didn't tell her I was going to do. I just
20:58
Speaker 1: wore my skinny jeans with you. I'm wearing my skinny jeans.
21:02
Speaker 1: What else you're watching at the Commonwealth Games?
21:05
Speaker 3: Oh? Well, you know I gave you the heads up
21:06
Speaker 3: last week on Monday Wednesday, the day yes when we love.
21:10
Speaker 3: We're loving the bowls, watching a bit of three.
21:12
Speaker 1: What about the gymnastics and the Australian team doing so
21:15
Speaker 1: well and like winning winning gold medals in the team
21:19
Speaker 1: comps and individual medals and the like, and like the
21:22
Speaker 1: men's gymnastics team has won a medal, like broken a
21:26
Speaker 1: hoodoo that's like more than forty years and it's it's
21:30
Speaker 1: so wonderful, and that one of the one of the
21:33
Speaker 1: young female gymnasts who was part of the gold medal team,
21:38
Speaker 1: like had a massive achilles tear not that long ago
21:41
Speaker 1: and thought her career was over and now she's now
21:43
Speaker 1: she's got some jewelry.
21:45
Speaker 2: But what about Hailey Lewis's Hailey Lewis's son, Yes, won
21:50
Speaker 2: a medal in the swimming as well.
21:52
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's amazing, isn't he. It's not Wally Lewis, but
21:55
Speaker 1: that's what.
21:55
Speaker 3: I want to say.
21:56
Speaker 2: It's all It is a level of pressure, though, isn't
22:00
Speaker 2: it when you're in the same sport that your parent
22:03
Speaker 2: was successful in at some stage. And then Cam macavoice
22:06
Speaker 2: so I saw an interview with him recently, completely changed
22:10
Speaker 2: his training because he felt like he was sort of,
22:13
Speaker 2: you know, at a point where he wasn't getting any
22:15
Speaker 2: better with what he was currently doing. He put on
22:17
Speaker 2: nearly fifteen killos, which for a swimmer is substantial, and
22:20
Speaker 2: then one goal the other night.
22:22
Speaker 1: Oh legend, So great, isn't it. I'd love to have
22:24
Speaker 1: an excuse to put on weight, like a movie role
22:28
Speaker 1: or Carolyn, you really need to gain fifteen pounds, do
22:32
Speaker 1: I really? Okay, I'll be at the doughnut shop. I
22:36
Speaker 1: want to give a shout out to Lauren Miller, who
22:38
Speaker 1: was a dribbler who was in the crowd at the
22:40
Speaker 1: Commonwealth Games there and was interviewed in stadium and gave
22:45
Speaker 1: no dribbler shout out Lauren, so she did she she
22:50
Speaker 1: talked about a netball club. I can't remember which club
22:54
Speaker 1: it was in Australian club and then dribblers.
22:57
Speaker 3: Sorry was it?
22:57
Speaker 1: Is it Eastwood? I think maybe it was Eastwood? Yeah,
22:59
Speaker 1: and then or give a shout out to the dribblers
23:01
Speaker 1: and look, it didn't sound like there were a lot
23:03
Speaker 1: of dribblers in the audience. But this is what we
23:05
Speaker 1: need from new dribblers. We need if we want this
23:08
Speaker 1: cult to take over the world. We all need to
23:11
Speaker 1: be responsible for getting new members in the no dribble community.
23:14
Speaker 1: So Lauren, superstar, thank you. Question Liz. I don't know
23:19
Speaker 1: whether you've seen this one. So this one's also come
23:22
Speaker 1: up on the Facebook group from Tash So been thinking
23:25
Speaker 1: about if netball makes it to the Olympics twenty thirty
23:27
Speaker 1: two or beautiful thought.
23:29
Speaker 3: Let's out that that's my happy thought takes happenss place?
23:33
Speaker 1: Yeap, that would be good and what it means for England, Wales,
23:37
Speaker 1: Scotland Northern Ireland because under an Olympic rules these four
23:41
Speaker 1: countries all become Team Great Britain due to Olympics seeing
23:44
Speaker 1: them as sovereigns moll as sovereign states as a single member.
23:48
Speaker 1: How would it work, who's the selectors, the coaches? Would
23:50
Speaker 1: be super interesting to watch players.
23:52
Speaker 3: And it would would be interesting. I mean, I can't
23:55
Speaker 3: give you're a definitive answer because I get it mixed
23:57
Speaker 3: up between what's the United Kingdom, what's great written, what's
24:01
Speaker 3: the British Isles? What's what's what? Because I saw something
24:04
Speaker 3: recently on social and someone had tried to put a
24:07
Speaker 3: map up and there was this huge and it was
24:09
Speaker 3: nothing to do with netball, but there was this bit
24:11
Speaker 3: of a bunny about where Ireland sit in Northern and
24:14
Speaker 3: I was like, oh man, that's just a whole morass
24:17
Speaker 3: that you don't know what wide into. But I think
24:21
Speaker 3: it would be fascinating. Right, So you remember, do you
24:23
Speaker 3: remember this casroue years ago years in news, like three
24:27
Speaker 3: hundred years ago, we had a Test series against the
24:29
Speaker 3: Americas and they put together all of like all the
24:33
Speaker 3: Caribbean nations. So when the cricket teams play, they play
24:36
Speaker 3: as the West Indies, whereas we play against Jamaica and
24:38
Speaker 3: Trinidad and Barbados and they're the three probably best rape
24:43
Speaker 3: teams from that area. But you know, you can go
24:46
Speaker 3: to a World Cup and I've played against us that
24:49
Speaker 3: Kits and Nevis and all these beautiful little places. But
24:54
Speaker 3: it would be so good to marry them all up
24:56
Speaker 3: for a Test series as the West Indies.
24:58
Speaker 2: To see now it would not because we.
25:02
Speaker 3: Could that be seriously, it would be bad. And so
25:05
Speaker 3: like I wondered now because Wales have a team in
25:08
Speaker 3: the English Super League and I was wrong last time
25:11
Speaker 3: I spoke about English super League, so I could be
25:13
Speaker 3: wrong again. But there's a number of Welsh and Scottish
25:16
Speaker 3: players in that league, so I think it would be fair.
25:19
Speaker 3: I'd love to see that. I mean, it would have
25:21
Speaker 3: to work it out, but it'd be nice.
25:22
Speaker 2: Can we do with it? Yeah? A little shout out though,
25:25
Speaker 2: while we're talking about Scotland and Wales. Scotland beat Wales
25:29
Speaker 2: the other night, so Cath Tetlee is over there coaching
25:31
Speaker 2: from the coaching Scotland. Scotland would ranked tenth, Wales will
25:35
Speaker 2: rank seventh, So massive, massive, upset win and to do
25:39
Speaker 2: it at home at a homecom games.
25:41
Speaker 1: How exciting.
25:42
Speaker 3: That's awesome, that's brilliant. So yeah, that's a great question
25:47
Speaker 3: from the drill.
25:48
Speaker 2: I'm happy to be on the pool of selectors. I'll
25:50
Speaker 2: travel over there.
25:51
Speaker 1: And I'm just really.
25:55
Speaker 3: Hope that's a question we have to answer in real life.
25:58
Speaker 1: I hope so too. Yes, great question, Thank you, Tash.
26:02
Speaker 1: Don't really know can we talk about we didn't really
26:04
Speaker 1: talk about this.
26:06
Speaker 2: Oh oh, that's cool.
26:10
Speaker 1: We are such idiots, aren't we. Like we did a
26:15
Speaker 1: whole segment on this in last week's episodes.
26:18
Speaker 2: It were.
26:19
Speaker 1: And we're running late because we had technical issues. As
26:22
Speaker 1: you know, we record on Monday at twelve. We couldn't
26:25
Speaker 1: get on until it was about twelve forty by the
26:27
Speaker 1: time we got everything sorted. But we've just had the emergency.
26:32
Speaker 3: That was cool. I'll tell you what.
26:34
Speaker 1: Here's something too that's just come through. Hi mum, this
26:37
Speaker 1: has just come to my phone now. Hi mom, I
26:40
Speaker 1: dropped my phone in the toilet by accident, my SIM
26:42
Speaker 1: card and my phone has water damage. Can you please
26:45
Speaker 1: message my new number? Scammers I get them too, and
26:50
Speaker 1: I'm like neither awed to have their phones on them
26:53
Speaker 1: at their schools at this time of day.
26:54
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I would fall for that.
26:57
Speaker 1: If you need to Yeah, I need to do you
27:00
Speaker 1: need to get a code word so that if something
27:04
Speaker 1: does let that happen and she sends you a text,
27:06
Speaker 1: if she doesn't have that word in it, you know
27:09
Speaker 1: it's a scam.
27:10
Speaker 2: No.
27:11
Speaker 1: Yeah, that has just come through to my phone now. Interesting.
27:14
Speaker 2: Wow, I mean I wouldn't fall for it right now
27:16
Speaker 2: because my ten year old does not know how to
27:18
Speaker 2: source a phone and simcuts from anywhere else anyway. Wow.
27:23
Speaker 1: Yeah, So where it iss? And we didn't have our
27:26
Speaker 1: phones turned off then? But that was something we talked
27:31
Speaker 1: about at length last week. New Zealand Jamaica game. Who
27:35
Speaker 1: watched it and can tell me anything about it? And
27:37
Speaker 1: what are we looking at with those two teams at
27:39
Speaker 1: the moment?
27:40
Speaker 3: I am.
27:42
Speaker 2: I actually thought Jamaica might get up in this one,
27:44
Speaker 2: but New Zealand did and did buy five I think
27:47
Speaker 2: in the end simply convincing, I mean, great result, which
27:51
Speaker 2: just I think goes to show that we're right about
27:54
Speaker 2: Australia New Zealand being in this gold medal game, don't
27:56
Speaker 2: you think?
27:57
Speaker 3: But I'm think out of those two teams. Probably Jamaica's
28:00
Speaker 3: got a bit of improvement in them. So I thought
28:04
Speaker 3: it was like I turned it on just before quarter
28:07
Speaker 3: time this morning. Sorry, on Monday morning, I turned it
28:10
Speaker 3: on just before quarter time and there's only two goals
28:13
Speaker 3: in it, and then it stayed that way almost the
28:16
Speaker 3: whole match. I think New Zealand might have won the
28:19
Speaker 3: first corner in Jamaica won the second corner, so it
28:22
Speaker 3: sort of fluctuated between five and two goals the whole match.
28:24
Speaker 3: So you felt like New Zealand were always in control.
28:27
Speaker 3: It never looked like they were going to lose control,
28:30
Speaker 3: and I felt like Jamaica like they just lost the
28:34
Speaker 3: ball a few times at critical moments. It was more
28:36
Speaker 3: about their play under pressure, which surprised me.
28:39
Speaker 2: Yeah, fitness or play under pressure, because we know some
28:42
Speaker 2: of them are fit. It's probably all the back end right,
28:44
Speaker 2: the ones that have been playing in superner Ball.
28:46
Speaker 3: Yeah, baby yeah, I thought that looked good though. Rob
28:49
Speaker 3: Right was on the bench. So this morning it was
28:51
Speaker 3: at one end there was Rob Right, the other end
28:52
Speaker 3: there was Brani Eagle. When I was looking at the matches,
28:55
Speaker 3: it was crazy, wasn't it familiar?
28:58
Speaker 1: New Zealand it's not looking great for the New Zealand
29:01
Speaker 1: comp for twenty twenty seven next year. So there was
29:04
Speaker 1: interesting something came out during the week. It was the
29:07
Speaker 1: chair of netbel New Zealand talking about so the financials
29:11
Speaker 1: are worse than they had expected them to be. They're
29:14
Speaker 1: not saying there won't be a comp, but they're saying
29:16
Speaker 1: it's too early for them to tell what that comp
29:18
Speaker 1: will look like, and that when specifically asked about whether
29:22
Speaker 1: players should be seeking international contracts, the chair said, the
29:28
Speaker 1: players need to be looking for what is the right
29:31
Speaker 1: opportunity for them. And now I hadn't realized this year
29:34
Speaker 1: when the kiwis came over that there were only a
29:36
Speaker 1: certain number of them who were granted exemptions from that
29:39
Speaker 1: whole Silverfern selection thing. Now there is no requirement to
29:43
Speaker 1: play in a domestic comp for any player and they
29:46
Speaker 1: can still be eligible for Silverfern selection. I believe what.
29:50
Speaker 2: Surely, surely you've got to play the customer for them somewhere.
29:53
Speaker 1: No, no, no, but you don't have to play in
29:55
Speaker 1: the New Zealand domestics. So in twenty twenty six all
29:58
Speaker 1: of those New Zealand players who came over here were
30:01
Speaker 1: given specific individual exemptions, I understand and so, but now
30:07
Speaker 1: it's a kind of blanket. You want to go playing
30:10
Speaker 1: in Australia, if you get a contract in the UK, Malaysia, whatever,
30:16
Speaker 1: take whatever suits you.
30:17
Speaker 2: So, as Sue Gordion said, the phones were already running hot,
30:21
Speaker 2: running hot, with Kiwi's ringing, trying to find spots in
30:24
Speaker 2: some superniple So very interesting.
30:26
Speaker 3: It's pretty tragic, though, isn't it. Like it's oh, it's awful. Yeah,
30:30
Speaker 3: I think it's awful, and I think it's sad for
30:33
Speaker 3: like back when we're playing Catherine, New Zealand were always
30:37
Speaker 3: like we always felt they were three steps ahead of
30:39
Speaker 3: us commercials truly. So I mean, I don't know, I
30:43
Speaker 3: don't know enough about sort of the ins and out
30:45
Speaker 3: of what's happened, but I really do hope that they
30:48
Speaker 3: can find a way to turn it around and find
30:50
Speaker 3: a way to run a league because I think they
30:52
Speaker 3: need to, and it's good for the international game as well,
30:56
Speaker 3: and it's you know, you want you want to make
30:58
Speaker 3: sure that there are a number of that players can
31:01
Speaker 3: have the opportunity to play. The more professional contracts there
31:03
Speaker 3: are around the world, the better it is for everyone
31:06
Speaker 3: and the hard thing about these players in New Zealand
31:08
Speaker 3: is it our contract contracted window will open on the
31:12
Speaker 3: fourth of August. But the English contracting windows I think
31:15
Speaker 3: almost shut. I think they've just about done all their
31:17
Speaker 3: player signings, so.
31:19
Speaker 1: They've certainly announced a lot, haven't they.
31:21
Speaker 3: So it's not like it's you know, in football if something.
31:24
Speaker 3: Remember years ago the A League sort of had a
31:27
Speaker 3: hiatus three year while they got themselves sortied. But all
31:29
Speaker 3: those there's any number of soccer competitions around the world,
31:33
Speaker 3: but we've heard about the three oh sorry and South
31:36
Speaker 3: Africa as well, so it's not like there's this plethora
31:39
Speaker 3: of contracts that players can go and fight for. So
31:43
Speaker 3: I really do hope that the board New Zealand.
31:45
Speaker 1: Can doesn't it show though that what's happening. You know,
31:48
Speaker 1: we know what a great sport this is, we know
31:51
Speaker 1: what the community is behind it, we know what an
31:53
Speaker 1: awesome opportunity it is for the commercial partners who get involved.
31:57
Speaker 1: But quite clearly in New Zealand they're having the same
32:00
Speaker 1: sorts of challenges that we are here in Australia, like
32:03
Speaker 1: the other sports are just getting all of this money,
32:06
Speaker 1: So it is it is difficult to you know, it's
32:10
Speaker 1: difficult to grow the game, particularly at that professional level
32:12
Speaker 1: if you haven't got those big sponsorships. And for whatever reasons,
32:16
Speaker 1: they're still going mostly to the sports that are dominated
32:20
Speaker 1: by the blokes. And I guess then the other sports,
32:23
Speaker 1: as we say, the kind of the sister sports AFLW, NRLW,
32:28
Speaker 1: even the cricket, they benefit from having had these incredibly large,
32:31
Speaker 1: mature men's games that they can leverage off with expertise
32:36
Speaker 1: and relationships and partnerships and the commercial sponsors understanding that
32:41
Speaker 1: game and how to execute it. But you know, it's difficult.
32:45
Speaker 1: We still the sponsors are still not understanding the value
32:50
Speaker 1: of this product. Bloody it is.
32:51
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think one of the things that like, there's
32:54
Speaker 3: so much to unpack there, right, Absolutely don't begrudge, Like,
32:57
Speaker 3: I love the fact that if you're a good young
33:00
Speaker 3: female athlete you have options, right, I think that's absolutely fantastic.
33:05
Speaker 3: One of the things that you know, the sports grapple
33:09
Speaker 3: with is what type of sponsorships do you accept? Right?
33:12
Speaker 3: So do you accept gambling sponsorships for example? And so
33:17
Speaker 3: it's so hard to think about, you know, what are
33:19
Speaker 3: your values, how do they align? But what do you
33:21
Speaker 3: really need. So I don't know what NETBORL New Zealand
33:24
Speaker 3: are sort of looking at it and how they might
33:26
Speaker 3: sort of get themselves ensure they've got a league of
33:30
Speaker 3: some sort next year. But yeah, there's a lot to
33:33
Speaker 3: sort of to sort of figure out. And unfortunately, you know,
33:37
Speaker 3: television deals are really hard to come by. So that's
33:41
Speaker 3: why I'm just so proud of our five year deal
33:43
Speaker 3: with Channel nine with a rights for attachment. There's only four.
33:46
Speaker 3: I think I've said this before, but I'm going to
33:48
Speaker 3: say at nauseum there's only four standalone broadcast deals globally
33:54
Speaker 3: from women's sports without being attached to a men's sport
33:57
Speaker 3: that have a right sphere attached like that is we're
34:00
Speaker 3: one of four. Yeah, Like it's a tough market. I
34:06
Speaker 3: am really optimistic for our sport because I feel like
34:08
Speaker 3: we are just stepping into our power. But I also
34:11
Speaker 3: get that there are some really challenging times elsewhere.
34:15
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, thinking of them across the.
34:17
Speaker 1: Lad Yeah absolutely, And yeah I'm sort of looking for
34:21
Speaker 1: you know, I know we've got a lot of key
34:22
Speaker 1: we dribblers there we would love to be you know,
34:24
Speaker 1: we will be watching with interest what happens, you know,
34:27
Speaker 1: we want to hear more about New Zealand network. What
34:29
Speaker 1: we've started to see this year through Super Network with
34:31
Speaker 1: all of these amazing players coming through, is that there's
34:34
Speaker 1: some really great stuff to watch over there. Saying with
34:36
Speaker 1: the UK, I just think it's it's terrific. But yeah,
34:41
Speaker 1: fingers crossed. But I really hope New Zealand it settles shortly.
34:46
Speaker 1: But they've obviously got some tough times there. Right, Well,
34:49
Speaker 1: we should have a little break and then we will
34:51
Speaker 1: come back and I've got some interesting stuff to tell Catherine.
34:56
Speaker 2: I've got a very important question for Lizellis.
34:59
Speaker 1: Oh great, it's really important. Well, I think we all
35:14
Speaker 1: want to know what the really important question is, cas,
35:16
Speaker 1: So shall.
35:16
Speaker 2: We lead with that? Yeah, okay, so this is important
35:19
Speaker 2: for me and probably a lot of other fans of sweets.
35:23
Speaker 2: Oh okay, yeah, before we started, when we're having technical issues,
35:27
Speaker 2: oh was head in right at the bottom of a
35:31
Speaker 2: bag of chocolate bullets.
35:33
Speaker 1: And a little bit difficult because she went, I'll turn
35:35
Speaker 1: off my microphone so you don't have to hear me
35:37
Speaker 1: chilling out. But it's like I didn't know then whether
35:39
Speaker 1: her microphone was working. Now there she is. She actually
35:42
Speaker 1: has a feedbag on. Now, that's so very farmer of you.
35:46
Speaker 2: Oh the bag is empty.
35:48
Speaker 1: This is my question.
35:50
Speaker 2: I love those and could eat the entire bags. This
35:53
Speaker 2: is Daryl Lee chocolate bullets, right, which is licorice inside.
35:57
Speaker 2: But I would be scared of the after effects and
35:59
Speaker 2: I would make myself stop at about six or seven bullets.
36:03
Speaker 2: Oh how much of that bag have you actually eaten?
36:07
Speaker 3: Well, I've eaten all of it obviously, but not today.
36:09
Speaker 3: I mean I'm not I'm not a crescent Catherine.
36:12
Speaker 1: This is you just had your head in the bag, yeah,
36:16
Speaker 1: and you were holding it upside down to show on
36:19
Speaker 1: the camera.
36:20
Speaker 3: Well I didn't. I mean I've eaten all but not
36:22
Speaker 3: haven't eat it all today? Right, So I mean I
36:25
Speaker 3: love the problem he is with these. I can't believe
36:27
Speaker 3: you can make yourself stop at six or seven because
36:30
Speaker 3: I very rarely buy these for myself because I have
36:34
Speaker 3: no self control when it comes to bullets. So normally
36:37
Speaker 3: it's just a Christmas thing. But I gave myself a
36:39
Speaker 3: little bit of a treat down. I know, my mum
36:41
Speaker 3: has been in hospital and I went to buy her
36:43
Speaker 3: some things to take to hospital, and I accidentally bought these.
36:46
Speaker 3: It was just an accident. I bought them for myself.
36:49
Speaker 3: I'll go out to the car Dedrew Chambers. What a surprise,
36:52
Speaker 3: I've got a packet of dark drop of bullets. So
36:55
Speaker 3: this is no. I've probably knocked them off over the
36:57
Speaker 3: course of Well, I'm going to the truth. I ate
37:01
Speaker 3: half a packet that night on the way home from hospital,
37:03
Speaker 3: and then I put them in my office and I
37:05
Speaker 3: found it again this morning and finished them off another days.
37:09
Speaker 1: Yeah, so that's not really showing the self restraint that
37:12
Speaker 1: she started this segment saying that she had. Oh I'm
37:14
Speaker 1: not a cret in, Catherine, I know how to stop.
37:16
Speaker 2: No, but I'm wondering when the effects of all that
37:19
Speaker 2: liquorice are going to kick in, don't you She's going
37:20
Speaker 2: to run out of this door any minute and off
37:23
Speaker 2: to the bathroom. Hey, just quickly.
37:24
Speaker 1: It's exciting for me though, because you haven't done a
37:26
Speaker 1: wee during these episodes in this room for a long
37:30
Speaker 1: two hours, and you haven't done a wee. And Liz
37:32
Speaker 1: has now just taken herself to the brink on the bullet,
37:35
Speaker 1: so anything could happen in the next few minutes, And.
37:38
Speaker 2: Anything could happen. What about Lizellis's Christmas Day. She just
37:41
Speaker 2: said that was a special treat Christmas Day. I'm pretty
37:44
Speaker 2: sure she's told us before. There's also a box of
37:46
Speaker 2: fruit Loops.
37:46
Speaker 3: Christmas Morning. I go one hundred miles an hour and
37:51
Speaker 3: then spend the afternoon in the toilet.
37:53
Speaker 1: Anyway, Okay, fruitfu wow.
37:55
Speaker 3: I love fruit lives, but I only get the once
37:57
Speaker 3: a year because again, I can't be trusted with the
38:00
Speaker 3: box of fruit Well, that's a lie. I'll eat like
38:02
Speaker 3: a heap and then, like the last quarter of the Bods,
38:06
Speaker 3: I throw it out because I'm like, I can't look
38:07
Speaker 3: at another fruit loop. But that moment on Christmas Morning
38:10
Speaker 3: where everyone's like there's mess everywhere and chaos, and I
38:15
Speaker 3: just sit down with a bowl of fruit Loops with
38:17
Speaker 3: full cream milk and go, oh.
38:22
Speaker 2: Wow.
38:23
Speaker 1: She revisit fruit loops. I think I made an opinion
38:26
Speaker 1: of them a long time. I don't know. I'm not
38:27
Speaker 1: going to do. You made me eat that fairy floss
38:31
Speaker 1: twisty christ.
38:32
Speaker 2: That wasn't good. Coca pops for days, Cocoa pip absolutely.
38:38
Speaker 1: Okay. I need to tell you something, Catherine. This Facebook
38:40
Speaker 1: group of ours, it's so useful, like everything Everything that
38:44
Speaker 1: happens when we're nice to one another is useful. So
38:48
Speaker 1: we have a dribbler who is her name's Emma, and
38:51
Speaker 1: she's revisiting some back catalog. I think she may have
38:54
Speaker 1: joined us somewhat recently, and she's gone back to some
38:58
Speaker 1: classic episodes. And as Nicki Commo Buckley said, style never
39:02
Speaker 1: goes out of fashion, or fashion never goes out of
39:04
Speaker 1: style of quality or something. Anyway, it was a good
39:06
Speaker 1: quote and I appreciated it. Nikki. Basically she was saying,
39:09
Speaker 1: go and listen to the back catalog and we're with you.
39:12
Speaker 1: But anyway, she is also a Playboy Mansion person, Girls
39:19
Speaker 1: of the Playboy Man, Girls of the Playboy Mansion. And
39:22
Speaker 1: on this day, the thirty first of July nineteen seventy eight,
39:26
Speaker 1: the last Playboy club closed in Lansing, Michigan. So I
39:31
Speaker 1: just thought that was interesting that she has been listening
39:33
Speaker 1: to this. Wants you to know that you are not alone,
39:37
Speaker 1: Briani Akle and I are not alone. All right, good
39:40
Speaker 1: and good. But then another driver, Amy Lee, came in, and.
39:43
Speaker 3: You just outed her.
39:45
Speaker 1: Yeah, she won't mind Bridget and Holly have a podcast.
39:50
Speaker 1: Oh I know, well, Amy Lee said, you might not
39:53
Speaker 1: feel so comfortable watching the show once you've listened to
39:56
Speaker 1: their podcast, which is obviously about what really happens.
39:58
Speaker 2: Oh no, that's the best bit. You go back and
40:01
Speaker 2: watch it now knowing all the inns and the apps
40:03
Speaker 2: I've read.
40:04
Speaker 1: Example, what no, right, there are no books and you
40:09
Speaker 1: have not read them?
40:11
Speaker 2: Holly Madison Down the rabbit Hole. I have read the book,
40:14
Speaker 2: In fact, I might have read it a few times.
40:16
Speaker 1: Down the rabbit Hole.
40:17
Speaker 3: They picture books.
40:20
Speaker 2: You don't want Girls of the Playboy Mansion to be
40:22
Speaker 2: a picture book? Lizzle, that's true.
40:24
Speaker 1: So what's Holy Madison down the rabbit Hole? I'm going
40:27
Speaker 1: to read this, Catherine, I suspect did'l only take me
40:30
Speaker 1: half an hour?
40:31
Speaker 2: No?
40:31
Speaker 3: I will. And it's example of the things that like,
40:35
Speaker 3: what's something that you have heard on the podcast where
40:37
Speaker 3: you've gone, Oh, I need to go back and have
40:38
Speaker 3: a look at that. Oh I no.
40:40
Speaker 2: Like heaps of stuff, just like how much they really
40:44
Speaker 2: disliked him towards the end, but they had to pretend
40:48
Speaker 2: that they were still you know, and the restrictions on
40:51
Speaker 2: them having lives outside of living there, and.
40:54
Speaker 1: It's full on they wouldn't be able to eat a
40:56
Speaker 1: whole bag of bullets. No, who was the swimmer who
41:00
Speaker 1: had to put it on fifteen pounds? They'd never be told. Yeah,
41:04
Speaker 1: fascinating any more things anyway, And Liz, is there something
41:08
Speaker 1: that you've revisited your opinion of from hearing something on
41:11
Speaker 1: on on No Dribble. So I'm going to go.
41:15
Speaker 2: She watched it? Didn't you rewatch something? Rather than you're
41:18
Speaker 2: like the outside how dark this was?
41:20
Speaker 1: The Outsiders?
41:21
Speaker 2: Yeah?
41:22
Speaker 3: Anyway, everyone's Yeah, for high school, I don't have time
41:26
Speaker 3: to rewatch stuff. I'm lucky to watch stuff in the
41:28
Speaker 3: first place, because I really can't get much. I can't
41:31
Speaker 3: get much television time at our joint because it's just
41:33
Speaker 3: always on sport, always on sports.
41:36
Speaker 2: Well, everybody might be into Kylie Minogue.
41:38
Speaker 3: You can test and I'll go forward.
41:40
Speaker 1: I highly recommend it's not that. Don't watch that with
41:43
Speaker 1: the children, though.
41:44
Speaker 3: Okay, here's a question for you. I'm with Ted Lasso
41:48
Speaker 3: season four about to come out. I'm thinking of going
41:50
Speaker 3: back and watching seasons one, two, three, just to yep,
41:53
Speaker 3: you know, because I love it. Would you and my
41:57
Speaker 3: kids are desperate to watch it because we do right
42:00
Speaker 3: reference it a bit. But it's so sweary? Should would
42:04
Speaker 3: you watch it with a ten year old?
42:07
Speaker 2: You're sweary, I know, but just accuse you of that.
42:10
Speaker 1: But it's also very wholesome. So it's got some language
42:14
Speaker 1: in it, and particularly bet Brett Goldstein's character, But yes,
42:18
Speaker 1: I don't, you know, I would much rather my kids
42:23
Speaker 1: watch something with offensive language in it that didn't have
42:26
Speaker 1: a value spase. You know, it's like I think tread
42:28
Speaker 1: tedl has such a beautiful valuespase. It's just a word.
42:34
Speaker 1: But anyway, that's again. Even my husband is very disappointed
42:38
Speaker 1: at my language. So and we do often talk about
42:43
Speaker 1: what's what's a word that's allowed in this house and
42:45
Speaker 1: what's not? So I mean, it is, it is. It
42:48
Speaker 1: is strong swearing in it, But everything else I think
42:51
Speaker 1: is a really great lovely messages and you know, some
42:58
Speaker 1: really good characters in there, and some good opportunities for conversations.
43:03
Speaker 2: I've never seen an episode.
43:04
Speaker 3: Oh Catherine, I know.
43:06
Speaker 1: She's too busy reading there. I am Playboy books.
43:11
Speaker 2: I did tell you I've got just get Playboy books
43:13
Speaker 2: for the articles I did. I did tell you if
43:19
Speaker 2: a book is interesting enough to me, I will read it.
43:22
Speaker 1: So have you read my book? Have you read Lizza's book.
43:27
Speaker 1: Oh well, I'm not did you read? Did you read?
43:30
Speaker 1: You've got a story in this book?
43:32
Speaker 2: Of the books, I will support you.
43:35
Speaker 1: You've could have been reading them while I was trying
43:36
Speaker 1: to work out our tech issues for forty minutes.
43:39
Speaker 2: Yes, it would have been world versed in all sorts
43:42
Speaker 2: of yes.
43:44
Speaker 1: Oh okay, well gosh, that has been. Like we've done
43:47
Speaker 1: a couple of long episodes this week because there's a
43:49
Speaker 1: lot to talk about, but it's been super fun. I
43:52
Speaker 1: always love this and I don't know what's happened with
43:54
Speaker 1: the microphones, but you know, we got through it, everyone.
43:58
Speaker 2: We got through an emergency National agency alert as well.
44:01
Speaker 1: Yeah what what morons? Hey, you know we did a
44:04
Speaker 1: whole segment on this and all three of our phones,
44:09
Speaker 1: not one has had our phone off there, So.
44:15
Speaker 2: There we go. We will need to wrap this up though,
