• 0:07
  Speaker 2: Dribble Don't tell Mom. Hello, and welcome back to No Dribble,
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: the podcast where we talk about netball. We talk about
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: a whole lot of other things besides. I am Carolyn
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: Swindell and I'm so happy that I'm back in Sydney.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: But I'm not alone this week.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Yay. I'm excited to be back with you. It's Catherine.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: Everyone, Hello, Hello, Hello, you're still not here, thy boss?

• 0:43
  Speaker 3: figure and literally.
• 0:45
  Speaker 4: So there you go.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: I think emotionally we're very connected, though, right.
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: Oh, look, emotionally we are so connected. We're so in tune.
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: We're not so in tune that our menopause. No, no, no, menopause.
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: We're our menstrual cycles are maybe our metopause.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: They were.
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: God, I'm sure Catherine and I were at one point.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: Have to have been. Anyway, I'm back.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: I'm so glad and I'm much relieved that you're back
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: because I saw something in the news just before recording
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: that would have led me to panic, were you're not back?
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: Some woman got mauled by a tiger at one of
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: the theme parks on the GC, So.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: It's not you, clearly, No.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: You've been back for longer than that.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: No way. Yeah, where dream World?
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: I guess? So, yeah, tiger's at the back, that's who
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: you go there.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: No, that is the only place we didn't go. My
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: sister Bloody, she bought us a park pass for Christmas
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: that goes for the twelve months and it's four of
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: the theme parks and you can go as much as
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: you want. So of course you feel like you've got
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: to get your money's worth. Every time I'm in Queensland.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: We tootled to at least two or three of them.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: But dream World is not on there, and that sounds
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: like a good thing.
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: So which one did you go to this time?
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: We went to Sea World and I got lugged to
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Movie World and Elizabeth Harper wanted to go on a
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: rollercoaster and we had this conversation a couple of weeks
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: ago about not letting your kids adopt the fears that
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: are your own, and so what do you think I
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: had to do? I tried to distract her.
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: You had to go on the roll.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: I has to go on it. Granted it was a
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: kid's one, but not that was Oh wow, it was
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: still intense. Really it was. It actually was. I the
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: whole way round had my eyes closed. And we got
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: off it and she's like, mummy swore a bit, and
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: I said what do you mean? And then I thought
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: about it, and the whole way I was going, oh shit,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: oh shit, oh shit.
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: Oh shit, Oh that's funny.
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: I mean, mind you you are someone who when we
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: went to disney So we went to Disneyland, what fifteen
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: years ago, and there was you, me and Matthew and
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: my mum, and you were so excited. So we'd been
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: on this trip around America and Catherine wanted to go
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: to Disneyland, so La was the last portocoll and she's like,
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: let's go to Disneyland. And you were so excited. Do
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: you remember, Yes, you were just like a kid going
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: to disneyl and Matthew and I are a bit like,
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: we don't really want to go to Disneyland, but I'm
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: going to take the child, so she wants to go.
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: So we got there and you had been so excited.
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: But as soon as you got there.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: The very first ride we went to go on was
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: a Nemo ride, and you had to go in and
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: under in this submarine, and we all sat down and
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: literally twenty seconds later, Catherine's like, I'm out, I'm out.
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: I can't do the Nemo ride. I feel too claustrophobic.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: So she gets there. Matthew and I are sitting there
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: going well, we tried to go sort of low key
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: for Catherine's first one. So here we are on the
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: Nemo ride. And then the next thing we went on
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: was the Dumbo ride flying Elephant as the Kid's ride.
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: Please Catherine, that damn you got on.
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: But she crapped her pants and so the whole day,
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: Matthew and I we totally changed our attitude.
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: We're like, yay Disneyland.
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: And the best photo that Matthew has ever taken was
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: of him and Mickey Mouse together. He's like and he
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: Matthew and I went on all these great rides and
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: Catherine like became the mom just stating there holding out bag,
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: tapping his feet.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: I still loved it. I still had a great day.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: But you would be shocked at how brave I am. Now.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: I mean, well, bro, it's probably not the right word.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: It's roller coaster.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: It still packs a punch, don't you mock me? Well,
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: are you a roller coaster fan?
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: No, No I'm not. I'll do them. I like roller
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: coasters better than those rides that so there's like a
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: Star Wars ride or that. When I went to the
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: Wizarding World of Harry Potter, the one inside and it's
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: a whole lot of video stuff and you're moving around
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: your chair and you're inside.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: I like, Oh, I love that.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: No, they make me feel sick. I spent the whole
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: time thinking, don't vomit, don't vomit, don't vomit. Whereas a
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: roller coaster it's just I'm outside, so I'm happier. I
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: don't like them. I don't like theme parks at all.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Everybody's got their thing and wild. I love that.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: I love a water slide park because I love to
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: have tin here, right obviously, Yes, Oh god, do.
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: You remember the gravitron? Remember those ones around and the
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: floor would drop away.
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: I remember when I was a kid that would go
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: to the Hawksbury show and there was always a horror
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: story someone vomiting on the gravitron and the being stuck
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: on everybody that was in there, because what could you
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: drive up to wipe your face?
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: What changes as you become an adult because we used
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: to love that as a kid. I never got sick,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: But as soon as you get me on one of
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: those spinny things at the park, I'm dizzy for days.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: They're awful. I went on the gravitron at Luna Park.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: We went there for Lewis's ninth birthday. Took a bunch
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: of kids there, and I thought, I'm going to go
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: on that. I used to love that, and I went
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: on it and I was fine. But for every minute
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: I spent on the ride, so let's say three, I
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: was nauseous for an hour, like it was just ye,
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: it did not leave me. It was like I didn't
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: disgrace myself or my son, which was good, but never again.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: That is too that the return on that investment of
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: time is too much.
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I wonder if you just sort of start to
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: think like you have a better understanding of all the
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: shit that can go wrong.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: That's my biggest feal a kid. Yeah, you don't at all,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: do you? And she had the biggest smile on the face.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: And if you haven't seen my personal Instagram, I posted
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: a photo that was you know they take the photos
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: mid ride, and it's me with my eyes closed and
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: looking like I'm going to cry and Harper is ballistic
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: having the best time ever. But I'll post it on
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: our no drivele socials and Facebook if you haven't already
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: seen it. But yeah, no, I'm done now.
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: Did I see that you too? Are you too? Too tall?
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: Both of you? The carousel we.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: Had some funny experiences. I got to say, some Sea World.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: We wanted to go on the little carousel, just as
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: it something to do to start when we got nostalgia. Yeah,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: And we walked over and they looked at me and said, oh, sorry,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: I think you're too tall, and then looked at Harp
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: and goes, yeah, you won't be able to as well.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: And I just burst out laughing because I was like,
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: I understand, I'm too tall. I've had that my whole life.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: She's eight, How is that possible? So we still went
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: on it, but we had to sit on these seats,
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: these wooden benches that were just in the middle of
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: it going nowhere what the horses were going up and down?
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: The most boring thing we went to Disneyland in Japan
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: and I did my degree in Japan. He's thirty years
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: ago and used to be quite good at but I
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: don't speak Japanese much emial, but when we went there
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: with the kids in twenty nineteen, I had to have
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: a conversation and really plumb the depths of my recollection
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: of the Japanese language. When the woman was trying to
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: explain that Pete was possibly too big to go on
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: any of the rights, so we had to get taken
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: backstage to get him to sit in like a one
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: of the unused carriages to show whether he would be
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: big enough. And this this was during the Rugby World
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: Cup in twenty nineteen, so it's like you got a
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: lot of big rugby players in town at the moment,
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: and this guy's too big for the roller coaster. But anyway,
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: happy news. We were allowed to go on Space Mountain
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: and he wasn't decapitated, so oh that is He's a
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: great result.
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Catherine, you had a great weekend at SeaWorld.
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: Some of us still had netball on, you know.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: Oh, I know, I can't wait to hear because I
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: apparently you've posted about your team and it's finals campaign,
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: which I don't know about yet, but Elizabeth, what happened.
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: We had our last round match, and I thought we
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: had to win it to end up in second or
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: third place because finals A one v four, two v three,
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: and so I was all geed up.
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: Anyway, Saturday up here, it.
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: Was thirty five degrees when we played at five pm.
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: Don't forget we are still in winter climate change, you say.
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: So we turned up and my goal shooter turned up
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: and she'd been in Bali for two weeks with her family,
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: and she'd caught Bali belly three days before, so she
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: looked dreadful. I got probably twenty minutes out of her.
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: My daughter had had the flu for two weeks, so
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: I got sort of fifteen minutes at gold defence, and
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: then I.
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: Had to move it back.
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: I had to borrow another player from elsewhere. So now
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: we got pumped. But I was just so proud of
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: my team for being able to play. One girl who
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: I running center, she came off and puked from the heat.
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: At one point it was so unbelievably hot. So they
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: reduced all the quarters from fifteen minutes down to ten minutes.
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: I think it gave us longer breaks in between but
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: it was so difficult, and I thought, my god, if
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: this is what the future going to look like, we
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: have to start playing that ball at five am so
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: that we don't all bake.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: Well they do they do in far North Queensland. They
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: start really early and finished before the heat. Yeah, Christ,
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: it's nuts yet, So did you have the heat down here?
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: It was hot. It wasn't thirty five degrees and we
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: were playing at nine point thirty, notin at twelve forty five,
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: but it was hot. My sena had to come off
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: with virtual heat strike in quarter four.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: So the question are you playing next week?
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: I'm not playing. Oh man. They did a great job though,
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: so we were behind in the first quarter, we were
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: drawn at halftime, we were head at the three quarter time,
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: but then in the fourth quarter, mine were just dropping
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: like flies. I had one head of sprained risk, my
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: sena had to come off with a bit of heat stroke.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: I had four girls in tears. I'm having to use
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: the rolling sub for the first time ever because my
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: daughter had gastro last week and it's like her battery
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: just ran out, and it's like, well, I can't leave
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: her out there, knowing that I've got two perfectly healthy
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: subs here and it's like, well, honey, you're not going
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: to like this, but you to come off, and she
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: came off, and so anyway, we went down, but the
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: other team definitely deserved to win. And what I love
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: about under elevens is that it was one of the
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: girl's birthdays, so she had cupcakes. So one second they
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: were really sad and next seconds like, oh cupcakes fantastic.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: Always worked for me.
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that happened to us last year in the Grand Final.
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: We lost the Grand Final and all the families decided.
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: That like the girls were bereft right.
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: They were so disappointed because they beat this team by
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: one or two goals in the semi so they were
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: feeling really good. We lost the Grand Final. After the
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: Grand Final, all the families went to the pub. The
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: girls had to swim. The pubs right on the beach.
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: The girls had to swim and a play in the water.
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: We all had lunch, and by that afternoon they were
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: over it. I am still not over it, and I
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: still pull level and aside and go sweetheart, what about
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: my decision in She's.
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: Like, mom, Mum, the Grand Final was last year. You
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: have to let it go.
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm pleased to hear that, because I keep replaying
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: this and thinking if I hadn't moved her then, if
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: I'd done that then and I didn't have rested her,
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: And I keep replaying this game and what could I
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: have done differently? But these my girls have in their
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: respective teams, have not ever played netball without getting to
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: a grand final or the grand final equivalent in their
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: age group. So this is actually really good for them.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: So most they've got all these trophies at home and things,
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: and it's like, that's what you can lose this. It's like, yes,
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: you can, so remember this. Remember this. They're like, yeah,
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: we had cupcakes.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: It was true.
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: I'll remember it well.
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: The thing that ruins kids' sports of parents and grown up.
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: So there you go, there's a lesson for all of us.
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: I'm almost over. I'll be over in time to get
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: you for this year's finals, which kickoff on Saturday.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: But Eliza, this is exactly why your husband was so
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: relieved that your last game of netball was a win
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: at a World Cup, because can you imagine you're like
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: this with a kid's game of netball?
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: Well, you know that was that two thousand and seven
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: World Cup, and at the end of that world my
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: sister turned to my husband and he was like tears
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: running down his face and.
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: She said, oh, you must be so proud. He goes, no,
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: I'm so relieved. If she hadn't lost, it would have
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: been a long life together.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: Because he's spot on.
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he would have started me on the menopause gil
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: when I was thirty.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: Anyway, so we do still have between us. We have
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: one one team left in the in the finals. Good
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: luck for next week. I've got one week off and
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: then we start summer netball.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: Oh no, rest for the wicket, do you and it'll
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: be freezing for.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: Someone noles indoors. We do not train, and it's like,
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: if you need a week off, don't worry about it.
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: We've got a big squad, so it's like everyone gets
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: plays out of position.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: Oh, I'd happily coach that.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, it's much nicer. Yeah, it's just the girls
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: just like playing netble. So it's like, great, well we'll
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: show up and we'll play netble.
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah that's nice.
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: We did that at our association and all the kids
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: turn up in like fancy dress. So there's teams that
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: we're two two's and it's super social, it's so nice
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: and it's absolutely smash the growth rates for the sport
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: because we get so many new players coming to never
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: played before, and because it's low key, they go, I'd
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: like to play next year and there you.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: Go, that's cool. And that's exactly what the net all
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: Marathon people will have to do when it comes to
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: day three and probably day two, just to forget about
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: what they're actually doing and the fact that they've been
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: going for one hundred hours already.
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: There's something going on there, isn't there. So we've made
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: a donation and there's another six dollars has been donated.
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: So we need to get to the bottom of that
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: netball marathon because it's gone to be quiet. We found it,
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: we got excited, but it's not. There doesn't seem to
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: be a lot of noise about it.
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: Come on, there's six dollars from me because I ticked
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: the box to say we're happy to cover the costs
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: of administration.
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: We have of our donation to go to Disability Sports Australia,
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: but would love to know what's going on with that event,
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: so we'll try to get onto that this week.
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: Please don't let us be the only sponsors.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: Hi.
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: I don't know if you guys can hear it, but
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: my office has some little bushes outside.
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: Can you hear the boom? There's a beautiful little blue wren.
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: Yes, it's annoying.
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: Do you reckon?
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: You can?
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: Can't shoot it or something?
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: Listen to you. In my head, I'm picturing a Cinderella
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: moment or a snow white moment. Maybe you want princess.
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: Your friend wants to sing and have the birds flit
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: it down on her fingers or my fingers. I I
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: just might, But no, they're building and there so very cute,
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: but they are. They actually wake my daughter up every
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: morning because her bedroom window is near mine, and they
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: get up and like all the insects that get caught
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: in the fly screens, and like they're picking at that
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: at five am.
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: Drives are insane to your idyllic life.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: You go, you plane their ball, you go to the
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: pub which is right on the beach, and the kids
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: are having fun and you've got the birds tweeting outside
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: the window.
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: So were you on the Gold Coast last week in
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: Bali the week before? But I'm not.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: Now I'm in a little video. It's bloody hot sitting
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: next to.
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: I've got the tiny little violin.
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: All right, we need to talk about some netball shortly,
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: but I want to know whether either of you have
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: ever encountered a situation? Is there some sort of authority
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: that I can appeal to to get my tooth fairy replaced?
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: I think that she might drink. She's unreliable, often doesn't
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: show up on the right night, and has on a
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: number of occasions seem to have shown up twice and
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: paid twice. So I would like us to be allocated
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: to a different tooth fairy, because, yeah, we're having problems.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: With us, So questioned Dot still believes in the tooth Fairy?
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: Or she's smart enough to know the longer she pretends
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: to believe the coins are coming? Or is it notes?
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: Well, sometimes it's been notes apparently, So I obviously was
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: talking about Katherine.
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: Are you saying you don't believe in the tooth Fairy?
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: Like?
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: What's wrong with you?
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: What sort of monstery?
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: My question is I thought there was just one tooth Fairy,
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: like there's just one Santa and just one eister Bunny.
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: You're saying that the tooth Fairy is a multiplicity of people. Yeah,
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: what is that tooth fairy sisterhood?
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: Well I thought I thought that you just got someone
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: for your neighborhood, because it's a lot of work for
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: one tooth fairy.
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: Right then magic, but they're fairies and by definition they've
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: got magic.
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well mine has some pretty dodgy magic going on.
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you so. Because the number of times that
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: we have woken up and the tooth fairy has neglected
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: to show on the appropriate night. We once had a
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: letter of apology from the tooth fairy. She comes back
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: to night. Yeah, yeah, eventually she'll show.
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: It, right.
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: I think what she does is set alarms in her
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: phone for after the time that the children go to
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: bed and go, oh that's right, okay, well before I
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: go to bed, I better finish this. I don't know though,
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: because that's the tooth fairy system.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: So when you say sometimes she comes twice, what's the
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: most amount of cash the kids have woken up too?
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: Twenty bucks?
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: What?
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: Yes, one too? I pull in my teeth. Would that be?
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: I know?
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: Right? What?
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah?
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: So I feel like our tooth fairy has plays favorites,
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: and certainly our first child was her favorite, because when
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: our first child lost her teeth, she got certificates.
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: And everything from the tenth wh god.
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: When the second child came along and he lost his teeth,
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: he was likely to get a smack in the chops
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: and twenty cents under his pillo.
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: I would say that your tooth fairy was a bloody
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: idiot with your first child, though, wasn't.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: She single parenting as a single parent the tooth fairy
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: situation is difficult as well. They're definitely different tooth faories
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: when they're going to different houses, which is.
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: Problematic, different yield per two different.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, different, different everything, which is and there's questions coming
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: like just take the money and shut up about it.
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, the tooth fairy should probably.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: Check in though totally. Yeah.
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: There needs to be some sort of consistency.
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: I think it's sort of preparing children for later in
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: life where you probably shouldn't talk about what you earn
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: with other workplace in coloss.
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: Yes like that.
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: The kids should probably learn not to have that conversation
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: with other kids about what the tooth fairy brings.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: Should but they don't do they.
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: No, no, And do you know I feel for our
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: tooth fairy. I do feel very sorry. For them because
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: my children like to led us to the tooth Fairy
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: and they ask us some very personal questions to think
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: of the answers.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: Like a question being how old are you?
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: Where do you live?
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: Wow?
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: What do you do when you're not?
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: You know tooth fairy?
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: The tooth fairy responded to how old are you? I'm
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: interested to the answer that question.
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: Yep, the age changes with every letter.
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: Okay, well, this is what I think. There's more than
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: one tooth fairy. I think different because there were tooth
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: fairies around when we were kids, right, So either they're super.
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: Literate, I think, because no one ever thought to write
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: them a letter, and as if they would have bothered
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: to write back.
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: I have a very big question though. Does the tooth
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: fairy keep the teeth? What does she do with them?
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: She immediately throws them out because keeping them is disgusting.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: I think ours keeps them?
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: Really?
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah? Where would yours keep them?
• 18:48
  Speaker 5: Just?
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: You know, I just think there's you know those old
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: camera what's the bit of the cameras?
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: Second, the penis, Oh no, hang on.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: The camera film? You know the little the canister. It's
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: been a big day. I'm pretty sure there's some teeth in.
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: There, But what would the tooth fairy want to do
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: with these in the future.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: I think one day she might want to show them.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: And the conversation's really When my.
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: Son was about about six or seven, he came home
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: and said, hey, Mum, you know some of the kids
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: at school says the tooth Fairy is just the parents.
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: And we just fell about laughing because it's like, well, why,
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: like on what planet would we give you money for
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: a tooth that has fallen out of your head? Why
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: would we want to keep that? And why would we
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: give you money for something? And he just sort of thought, yeah,
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: that checks out. You're right, there is no way a
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: parent would do that. Well, I feel like we should
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: move on, but thank you for letting that. Is there
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: any netball we need.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: To talk about? My head really hurt.
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: Want the tooth fairy play if there was, If there
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: was a tooth Fairy center.
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: She's a goal shooter, she can know, but do you
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: see how much she gets done?
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: This is the do you see what a team player
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: she is? But she does drink. I said, yeah, so she.
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: Can fly though, So she just flies up and puts
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: the ball in. That's a no brainer.
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: It's too scary to go flying for.
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: Her when she's drinking. That's okay, it's got to stop.
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: Liz, what do you think what position do you think
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: the Tooth Fairy would play?
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: Well, I don't know.
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: I'm trying to think of like the positions for like
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: the Tooth.
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: Fairy and Santa, Santa, Missus Claus, the Easter Bunny.
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: What's Santa?
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: I think Santa's a goal shooter.
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: I would have said shooter.
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: I think he's the coach. Stop, okay, you bastards.
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: And the bunnies obviously like a wing defense, just spreading
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: sunshine and joy.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: We'll see. I would have thought that was the into
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: stopping anyway, the Sena starts with the ball is giving
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: all righters.
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: Why don't you tell us what positions that we if
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: we were able to make this super team and get
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: it on court, Whether if we had Santa, we had
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: Missus Clausey Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy, who else is there?
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: I don't know, but I feel like we've lost a
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: lot of listeners off the back of this coms.
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: Well, we need to be ready if these guys show
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: up for a game one day. We need to know
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: that bibbs we're giving them. Although I think this is
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: a nice segue maybe we should talk about some Netflix.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: I think we totally should. And there's a reason I'm
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: wearing this particular badge. It's got I can't see this
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: camera angle, but I got my Georgie.
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: Horges Georgie Horne's madge.
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: Because she's been announced in the extended team.
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: That's great, isn't it.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: It's very exciting. It's actually a really exciting looking team
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: that've announced because there's potentially three debutantes Elizabeth Ellis, there's
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: going to be another Elis maybe playing for Australia, and
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: that's a selection I don't think many people saw coming.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: She was a late call up and has now found
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: herself in that extended team that back half.
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: Of the Super and Apple season. She made a really
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: strong case for this call up, I think.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: And off the back of just having some solid court time,
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: because that's not something that she's Rudy Ellis has obviously
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: had before this season.
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: An amazing story, right, she's twenty seven.
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: She's played for West Coast Fever for the Firebirds, and
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: then she went to play for Vixon's and I couldn't
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: figure out why she did that, because I thought, oh,
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: she might not get much caught time, you know, with
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: Joe Weston and then Mannix there.
• 22:32
  Speaker 4: But it's done her the world of good. And I
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: read something.
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: Today off the back of her selection in this extended squad.
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: So there's a squad of fifteen and I assume they'll
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: name twelve for game day for three Tests against England,
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: and so there's the new ones.
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: Georgie Horges, Rudy Ellis as she Herban and.
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: Yes Ashurban who's a defender from Sunshine Coast Lightning. And
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: she said that after training she would do extended footwork
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: duels with Samone mckinness and if you don't learn that.
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: Stuff, learn it from Samoa mckinness. She was the master
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: of it. As a player. She's been so good as
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: a coach.
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: So, you know, a move to Vixen's which I thought was, oh,
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: you might end up spending a long time on the bench,
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: has been She got lots of the opportunity really when
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: Joe Western was injured earlier in this year and then
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: really maintained her place and played a great tag team
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: role with their Mannix and they were both so outstanding.
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: So I'm really excited for her.
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: Of course, I'm excited about the prospect of another Ellis
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: pulling on the goalkeeper bid for Australia.
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: It will make me so happy.
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: It's all about opportunity, though, isn't it. Because there's two
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: players ruled out Joe Western Courtney Bruce with injury. Courtney
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: Bruce has had surgery on her foot, so there is
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: the big open door whether or not they will get
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: pulled into that twelve at some point. But I feel
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: like Stacy Marinkovich and the selectors aren't the kind of
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: people that select people unless they're going to give them
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: a shot throughout the series at some point. So I mean,
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: what an opportunity.
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and you've got to see if you're going to
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: put people in that wider squad, obviously they'll have a
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: look at them in their training environment. So if you've
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: got to be prepared to get up every day and
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: turn up to training in the lead up to the
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: test matches, putting absolutely everything out there, you can't afford
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: to coast through and hope for the best. But you've
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: got to see how players stand up to the speed
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: of international netball, and I think that's a big difference
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: between like every level. You know, you play state league
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: and then the step up to national league, the first
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: thing you notice is the speed of the game. And
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: then you go from national league to international and the speed.
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: You think you play fast when you play national league,
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: but internationals faster again.
• 24:36
  Speaker 4: So I think that will be the test.
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: I assume they'll want to have a look at Georgie
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: in particular in that front line, but both Ash and
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: Rudy to see how they cope with the speed speed
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: of the game.
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: But you know, there's also Sarah.
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: Clowd who will sit in there, probably is the starting goalkeeper.
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: It's a big defense end.
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: But aren't we lucky to have I mean, we're lucky
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: that we've got Rudy, Ellison Shervan because a Mannox is
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: out now too. In the extended squad, Courtney Bruce is out.
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: Who else did you say?
• 25:02
  Speaker 4: Was that?
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: And Joe West? But those two players both bigger than
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: the ones that are not there. So this, I reckon,
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: this is the biggest defense and we've had in a
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: very very long time.
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah big, you mean tall? So tall?
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: I would have to play I would have to play
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: center in this team because everyone loses it's extraordinary.
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: Ageing us out.
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Georgie Horde just though, showing that you don't have
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: to be tall?
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: Do you if she gets selected and I think they
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: should for the first game it's in Adelaide, how good
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: would that be? Off the back of a premiership win,
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: to take the first game of the series to Adelaide
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: and have her on court would be unreal. I will
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: lose my mind. I'm going to have a really proud
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: parenting moment.
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: I think, are.
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: You, like, will you have to rule yourself out of
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: commentary because you're not able to be injected?
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah? I know, I will do my very best. But
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: how cool would that be? I think that would be
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: just so good for all the junior net ballers that
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: every time you speak to a junior nepoler, the parent
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: will say, well, she's too sh ought to playing goals
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: or whatever. And I always say, do you know Georgie
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: Horges from the Adelaide Thunderbirds, because she just proves to
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: everybody that you don't have to be a particular body
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: shape to be great at our game.
• 26:11
  Speaker 4: How tall is she?
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: How tall is she? Or the one that I don't know? Sixty?
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: No, no, no, she's taller. So who Laura Cherian was the
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: shortest at one sixty four, So she's taller than one
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: sixty four. I feel like there's a two, like I
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: want to say one seventy two. Then that seems that
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: seems to me.
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: I'm going to google this. She's one seventy two. She's
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: five foot game. But you know, five foot eight is
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: taller than the average height for women, So she's we.
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: Think you too have no idea what average height is
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: for women. You live in this ridiculously skewed world. So
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: Georgie Horges is she's short to play goal attack, isn't
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: she She's not short for center court play. She's not short.
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: No, well she's probably she's probably still I think, with
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: the evolution of the game, looks like she's a smaller
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: center court point.
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: So yeah, average type for women in Australia is five
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: foot three and a half inches.
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: No, it's not, that's the allegation. How cool are you, Carolyn?
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: Five foot two nearly one?
• 27:12
  Speaker 4: What do you mean?
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: What do you mean that? What's inaccurate? I know how
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: tall I am?
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: Hang on, I've got some updated information.
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: The average Australian woman was one hundred and sixty one
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: point eight centimeters tall.
• 27:22
  Speaker 4: So what's that?
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's five three five to three. Where are you
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: getting this from Google? And how are they?
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: I'm getting this off the government, off the ABS website.
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: How old is that? Is that the seventies?
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: But when is when is the Australian Bureau of Statistics
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: measuring us? If that's not in the census? Is it
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: in your window?
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: At night?
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: The tooth fairy brings to.
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: Measure.
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: She's up the class of one in one hand and
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: to take measure the other one. I don't know how
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: accurate this is.
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: It'll do no this, This is fascinating. Don't you think?
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: In twenty eleven to twelve the average Australian man was
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: one seventy five point six centimeters tall. No wonder we
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: think all these blokes are short? No one, you can't
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: find anyone to date, Catherine, and the average Australian woman
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: was one sixty one centimeters tall. I've got average Astralians
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: are growing taller and hairer over time.
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: Harrier heavy are.
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: If we're getting hairer, there's no excus There plenty of
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: things you can do about that. I am surprised at
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: one hundred and sixty one centimeters though, because that means
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: I'm only two centimeters shorter than average height, and I
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: just I don't meet a lot of fully grown women
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: who are shorter than I am. No, So is there
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: some pocket happening somewhere of like little people.
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: You just hang out with tall people, dude, that's your problem.
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: You gotta get some more normal fruits.
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: Thank you.
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: We've strayed into the path of ridiculousness now, all right.
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: So we do this every week. It's one of our
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: favorite things to do. We ask you to tell us

• 30:00
  Speaker 5: stepped down, but her efforts for the Gladesville Ravens and
• 30:03
  Speaker 5: the Eastwood Ride Netball Association will live long in the

  Speaker 5: And she is the wind beneath our wings.
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: How great is that? Thank you Andrew. That is wonderful
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: And congratulations Mel Cullen. You are the wind beneath our wings.
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Mel, what a superstar she is.
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: I need to declare a it's not a conflict of
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: interest here at all, but this is my home club
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: and Mel Cullen has been absolutely so supportive of me
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: as a coach, and she's one of these people. I've
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: had kids at the same school as her, not in
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: the same year, but she's one of these people, you know,
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: the volunteers who volunteer for everything, and there's like six
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: people who do everything, and everyone else stands around going,
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: I'm really busy. I've got a job. Well, she also
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: has a job. She volunteers at school. She volunteers at
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: the high school now that her son is at. She
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: was running all these sports things at the primary school
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: when her kids were there, and just as well as
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: doing all of this with Netbull.
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: Do you know what I love about that though, that
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: she's played with her daughter. Now we all have daughters.
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: Would you at some stage if they said, Mamma wants
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: you to play with me, would you do it? Yeah?
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: I would?
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: I think, yeah, yeah, totally would. I actually offered that
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: to Evelyn and she wasn't excited, as I thought.
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: Maybe we could set up a mother daughter team and
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: we just get another mother daughter combo to come and
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: join us at some stage.
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: That'd be fun, or just a game or a training
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: session would be great fun. Weld Ane Melton.
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: Anyway, mel you are the win beneath our wings, so
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: please keep the nominations rolling in. We do have to
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: make one rule on it. We have been getting nominations
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: for committees of people, for multiple groups of people, and
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: we can't. We can only take individuals for this. I
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: know that a couple of weeks ago we overruled that
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: and nominated a couple of coaches from buck Alden. But
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: we can only take individual nominations from here on in
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: because it is like we just don't. We don't have
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: enough scrunchies. And honestly, these are these are like gold,
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: these things, so these are precious. We need to maintain
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: the value of them.
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: Although I did enjoy the afternoon making them.
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll do that again. Let's just do that again. Yes,
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: we'll ask our friend am At Printhy Wines to help
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: us out again with that, because an army marches on
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: its stomach.
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: Now, if you two do that without making scrunchies, like
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: the scrunches are the only thing that stopped you guys
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: just drinking.
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: Well, she said scrunchies, So does that mean too them?
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: We're good two scrunches.
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: I think we could beat our last number. I did
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: say last week that I thought dribblers would want you
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: guys to do that show with New Zealand, and I
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: was right. A lot of people are with me saying, man,
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: I would love to see you guys pull on the
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: boot scan.
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: And run out there serious operation of some sort to
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: fix whatever I broke.
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: But that's all we've got time for. Listen needs to
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: go and shoot some birds or something. I'm not entirely
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: sure what you please? Can I clarify I do not
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: actually condone that it was a throwaway line and a comedian.
• 33:15
  Speaker 4: Yes, you are a comedian.
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: No, I'm going to let them land on my finger
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: and talk to them because I'll film that.
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: And can I just say before we let you go,
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: good luck this week. Thank you so excited. I'm going
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: to come Thursday and watch Wonderful. Wait to see you
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: in your element, wonderful.
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: Thank you. Yes, I've got more than eighty percent sold
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: across the season, which is wonderful. I'm very excited about.
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: And I'm going off now for a technical rehearsal at
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: the venue. So I split. So it's goodbye for me,
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: Carolyn Tatar.
• 33:42

• 33:45
