  Speaker 2: On this week in 1990, the very first episode of
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: Beverly Hills 90210 aired, featuring the cast of mostly middle-aged
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: actors portraying high school students. It lasted 293 episodes. This
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: is approximately twice the number of No Dribble episodes that
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: have aired so far, which is curious because a little-known
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: fact about No Dribble is that All three hosts are
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: actually high school students pretending to be middle-aged women. You're
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: on No Dribble, strap in! Hello and welcome to No Dribble,
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: the podcast where we talk about netball. We talk about
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: so much more. My name's Carolyn Swindell.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: I'm Kath Cox. I am actually 23.
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: I'm Liz Ellis and I'm 15 next birthday.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's exciting.
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: It's so exciting. I'm the only silver-haired 14-year-old in the county.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: I'm sure there's other places. Yeah, that was crazy, wasn't it?
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: That was so crazy.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: Gabrielle Carteris was 29 when they filmed the pilot, so
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: she played Andrea Zuckerman.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: As an 18-year-old?
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: No, they were like 15 or 16 because remember they
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: were in high school for a few years in this one.
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: Was Andrea Zuckerman the like nerdy?
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: Like newspaper, yeah, she always struck me as horny.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: Would we say nerdy or would we say, you know, short,
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: smart girl?
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: I mean, I identify as a nerd, so I think
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: it's a compliment.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: So which Beverly Hills 90210 character would you be most like?
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: None. Ooh, really? Like zero? Yeah.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: Because you are a bit of a mole. Well, that's
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: not where I was going, but sure.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: So Shannon Doherty or Brenda Walsh, the character she played.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Brenda. Oh, but Brenda. I couldn't think of
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: what her name was.
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: Brenda and Brandon.
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: That's right. Who did Jenny Garth play? What was her character?
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: Ooh.
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: The blonde one.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: Yep, got her straight in. So there was Dylan, Brenda and.
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: Oh, and Tori Spelling was in it too, wasn't she?
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Tori Spelling was in it.
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, she was the original Nepo baby. Well, I just.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: Read she auditioned under another name, allegedly to not be
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: given favourite status.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: Kelly.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: What? That's hysterical. Yeah, so allegedly she wasn't cast because
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: her surname is Spelling. So maybe we need some justice
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: for Tori Spelling.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: So who did Tori's spelling play?
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: Donna Martin.
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: Donna.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: Donna Martin graduates. Donna Martin graduates.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: And then Donna was dating Green, was his actual name.
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Brian.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: Donna and David. Brian Austin Green. David Silver.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: Brian Austin Green, that's right.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: And then there was just Steve, played by Ian Ziering.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Steve was my favourite.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: Really?
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Was he? Yeah, he was my crush. You know how
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: everyone was into.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: Dylan or Brandon. See, he's my Ross Geller. I just think, no,
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: you're my least favourite out of the whole family.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Okay, well, here's a good conversation if we're going down
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: that path. So is he your least favourite friend or
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: just to look at of the boys?
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: What are you talking about? I think Ross Geller behaved
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: appallingly through the whole series.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: So he's your least favourite?
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah. What?
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Oh, it is hard to pick a least favourite. No,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: it's not.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: No, Ross Geller is atrocious.
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: Who's yours, Elizabeth? I don't know, I liked them all.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: I don't know if I've got a least favourite.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: Oh, my God. I do.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: He says someone else's name when he's at the altar
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: with Emily, the British girl, then goes away, is about
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: to go on his honeymoon with Rachel, whose name he
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: has said, and then Emily rings and he goes, oh,
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: I'm not getting on the plane with Rachel. Atrocious, atrocious
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: red flags, Ross Gellar.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: There you go. Okay, fair enough.
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: Wow, you might have convinced me. I might go with
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: you on that one.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: Oh, I love that show.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: So my daughter is right in a Friends phase at
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: the moment, so it's on much more than it ever
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: has been. And it is funny.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a great show. I reckon I could quote
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: nearly every episode.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: We should go to a Friends trivia night.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: Oh, I've been to one. There was one on the
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: cruise when we went on the cruise. Please don't say
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: cruise to me. I know, I can't.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: Although I have started reading the cruise. I'm reading Naima
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: Brown's book, The Cruise, and thoroughly enjoying it so far.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: And it's about a cruise.
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: Oh, yes.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: No, it's about a reality TV show called The Cruise.
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: The Cruise.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: It happens to be on a boat but it's not, yeah.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: I know there are many dribblers who love cruises and
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: I come to this from a position of complete ignorance
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: but I will probably never get smarter about cruises. I
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: did go on one once but that was to Antarctica
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: and it's the only way to get.
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: There, so.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: See, yeah, I mean I was a hater the whole
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: time and I went on one and converted. So don't
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: rule it out. Can I shock you just off the
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: back of what we were just talking about there?
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: I started reading another book, everybody.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: Really, truly?
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: Is it April the 1st? What's going on here?
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: Actually started reading a book.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: What is it?
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: Off the back of my trip to Bali.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: Right, yeah.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: Chatting with Gordylicious around the pool with a beer in hand.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: She said there's actually a really good book. written about
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: the drug culture in Bali, the snowing in Bali. I
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: bought it because that's the kind of book that I'm into,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: you know. As you mentioned on Wednesday's episode, the prostitutes
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: in Pompeii or however you put that. It's interesting. You
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: can have it after me if you'd like. Okay. You
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: don't sound overly.
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: Have you read Marching Powder?
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: No.
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: It's a great book. Rusty Young. It's a great book.
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: It's old, but it's fantastic. It's about, you know, the
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: drug in Bolivia. Yes. I think I have.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: I can't remember it.
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: That's great. I might have borrowed it to you, loaned
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: it to you. But anyway, there you go.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: Don't lend books. Make people go to the library. It
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: helps the author.
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: This is true.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: Yes, you did say that.
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: It is nice when you get your little library sort
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: of refunding thing.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: Public lending.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: How often does that come and does it come in coins?
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: Is it twice a year?
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: I get mine once a year. Maybe my books aren't
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: quite as prolific as yours, but I get the public
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: lending right and educational lending right, so schools and public libraries.
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: It's great. It's just a nice little bonus every year
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: because your books are in lots of libraries.
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: It is.
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: Mine tends to be mid-year anyhow.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think mine's mid-year too. Right.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: Well, actually, I'm pleased that you're reading Nye's book, The Cruise,
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: because she was the reason that I actually didn't watched
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: the grand final, the rugby league grand final.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: You didn't watch it.
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: Can I ask you a question?
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: Do you turn it over and watch even a second
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: of it just to say you watched it though?
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: Well, yeah, I watched a little bit of the first half.
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: I had intended to watch it.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: I was on the couch from four o'clock watching the NRLW,
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: which was sensational. Can I talk about Tamika Upton? She
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: won the Dallium medal for the third consecutive year. Amazing.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: That is amazing. Once in a generation talent. That is
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: just extraordinary. Unfortunately, she couldn't then back it up with
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: a grand final win. The Roosters convincingly beat the Broncos
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: in that. But, yeah, I was on the couch for hours.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: We made pies.
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: It was all good.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: Do you make pastry from scratch for your pies?
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: Of course not.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: Okay, great. Let's get back to the footy. Did you
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: see the bling? I mean, Roosters cleaned up, obviously. The
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: girls get a championship ring too now, as do the boys.
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: Fuck!
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: Out.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: I haven't seen it.
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: They're mental.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: I'll Google one for you whilst you're chatting.
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: Yes, they're very. Anyway, I had intended to, but then
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: one of my girlfriends is Canadian and she had Canadian
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: Thanksgiving on Sunday, which is fabulous. It's a beautiful long
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: table set. And it's just, there would have been 40
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: of us at this long table and they live on
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: a farm. And I feel whenever we go to her
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: place for Thanksgiving, I feel like I'm on a television show.
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: I feel like I'm much fancier than I actually am.
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: And we all bring food and it all gets laid
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: out on the table and it's a heap of fun.
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: And Nye was there and we were chatting about her
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: book and the work that she's sort of doing to
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: promote it. And she was very excited about the dribblers
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: hearing about it. So that was good. And then I
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: just got sidetracked and I just didn't get around to
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: watching the football. And there were a group of people,
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: mainly the kids, watching the footy. And I went in
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: to sort of glance at it. I sort of watched
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: it while it was nil all and then saw nothing
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: after that. So I miss the entertainment, the grand final entertainment.
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: It was wonderful.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: I know that I spent a lot of time laughing
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: at the NRL not having anyone and the whole Tones
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: and I debacle, which I did laugh at some stage.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: I'm hearing in the stadium them playing Dance Monkey, so
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: it was crazy. But it was.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: If you're not following NRL, you probably are aware of
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: this anyway. So Jai Arrow has motor neurone disease and then, buddy, tragically,
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: Nathan Charles, former Wallaby, has also just recently been diagnosed
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: with motor neurone disease. And there is a really strange
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: correlation between motor neurone disease and elite athletes that science
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: has still not yet understood. But setting that aside, which is...
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: and looking at what the grand final entertainment was, they
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: decided to do a celebration of Jai Arrow and they
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: invited Nathan Charles to be part of that. So they
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: were driven around the edge of the field while Amy Shark,
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: Dave Gleeson from the Screaming Jets, who of course are
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: a Newcastle band, Phil Jamison from Grin Spoon, someone from
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: Peking Dark and someone from another band, I can't remember,
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: but this super group came together. They did You'll Never
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: Walk Alone, which was just beautiful. I'm crying through the
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: whole damn thing. And then they did What's Up for non-blondes.
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: I didn't understand quite the significance of that, but it
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: was cool. But then they finished with Simply the Best,
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: which of course you'll remember was that amazing campaign that
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: Tina Turner did for the National Rugby League 25 years ago,
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: whenever it was. But it was just so good. It
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: was just there was I don't like I loved watching Kylie.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: I'm not as much of an AFL person. I love
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: the NRL. I loved watching Kylie and then I thoroughly
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: enjoyed the AFL game. I loved watching this for the NRL.
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: I don't feel like I lost anything. I feel like
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: they were two totally different approaches. And in fact, actually,
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: I feel like Tones and I would have been a
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: paler version of the Kylie thing, but actually NRL, we're
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: going somewhere completely different with this.
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: Was really good.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: And then when the Roosters won, they had a junior
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: club called the Roosters give them their ring, which I
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: thought was nice. Oh, wow.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: It is bling, bling, bling, bling, bling, bling.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: Take it up closer to the camera.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: Covered in diamonds. Look at that.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: So tacky, though, really, isn't it?
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: Oh, I mean, it totally is. Well, you're not rocking
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: around wearing that, are you?
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: I don't know. Would it get you free stuff? I'd
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: wear it if it got me free stuff.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: Well, for a period of time, it 100% would. Didn't
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: it get us hot chips after the Commonwealth Games in Manchester?
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: No, no, no.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: We had our medals. It gave us hot chips.
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: No, I went to a place in Manchester with my
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: medal and I wanted a kebab and an old mate said, no,
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: I'm not giving out free kebabs because you Australians have
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: all got gold medals. And he said, I'll give you
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: chicken and... beef for the price of chicken yeah i've got.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: A discount it's a win i'm sure i've been given
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: hot chips somewhere before because i.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: Would have been my gold medal in rowing at the
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: pan pacific masters games in 20 maybe 19 i want
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: to say they didn't give us free drinks at the
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: bar we did.
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: Ask It's always worth asking.
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: I lost a bet. I had to say to the bartender,
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: are you giving free drinks to medalists?
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: Disappointing.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: You want something for free. Anyway, but like what a
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: story that grand final was.
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: What a story.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: How great. You know, Newcastle hadn't been there for 25
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: years and then the Roosters with all the retirements or
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: people leaving the game was such a great.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: And what an unspeakable bloody tragedy what happened in Newcastle
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: with that car running into the, the only thing I just,
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: at first I thought someone had done it deliberately and
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: this just sounds like an enormous mistake from an, Probably
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: an idiot by the sounds of things, but certainly a
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: young man, a pea-plater, but it just could not be
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: more bloody, tragic, poor bastard. So anyway, very sad. Well,
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: I've ruined it, haven't I? You have. Shall we take
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: a break and come back and talk about some Nigeria?
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: Yes, we should.
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: Some Nepal? All right. All right, we're going to talk
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: about some netball and I'm going to play you another
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: one of the interviews that I did on, I don't
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: know what day was it, last Thursday.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: At the ASICS dress launch for the new Australian Diamonds
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: Match Dress, which they will debut at the Constellation Cup.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: It was fabulous.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: And the girls still had their European tans, so they
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: were rocking it.
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: They did still have their European tans. I didn't get
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: to interview Sophie Dwyer, but I did get to talk
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: to her afterwards.
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: God, she's good.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah. They're all just so lovely.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, apparently. And Mark Falvo, who is the CEO of
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: Netball Australia, was telling me that Sophie was at the
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: nine upfronts. So if you don't know what the upfronts are,
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: in the entertainment industry they have a giant launch every year,
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: all bells, whistles, everything fabulous. showing what they're going to be,
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: what they will have on their channel the next year.
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: And it's basically for advertisers to say, here's what we've
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: got coming up.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: The netball.
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: And Sophie was there presenting with Tim Horan, who's former Wallaby,
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: about the nine sport rota and apparently did a sensational job.
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: Of course. Yay, Sophie.
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: But let me just tell you some other good news.
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: Remember last week we were talking about young Samuel in
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: Ballarat and how he was finding it difficult to get
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: pathways as a boy because aging out of being able
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: to play in just a standard team down there. Anyway,
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: I was contacted by Katrina out of Ballarat who coaches
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: the under-15s girls team, wanting to introduce him to the
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: coach of the under-15s boys team, offering to work with
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: him on some skills stuff and a whole range of
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: other things that he can access down there. So Samuel
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: has been in touch with them and, you know, sky's
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: the limit. Samuel as a netballer now. So I thought
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: that was lovely and thanks for making contact, Katrina. And
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: I have been asked to give a hello to the
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: Santa Monica Spirits. Hello, Santa Monica spirits. Although I give
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: the hello to the American teams and you get the
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: trip to the United States.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: Well, I was a bit of a dog with a
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: bone with this one.
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: Were you? Yes.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: Netball Nationals is in Vegas and I just knew I
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: had to be there. So I am confirmed going to
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: Vegas in November.
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: That's fantastic. I'm excited. Sorry, will we do your job
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: here that week as well? I can probably dial in.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: I know. Well, maybe that.
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: Would be great. Do you remember the last time you
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: went to Vegas?
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: And you probably need the people who were there to
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: pick you up in the stretch limo to get you again,
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: wouldn't you?
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: I agree. So what are you going to do about that?
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: That would be Matthew and me.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: Right, okay.
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: That's really likely given now we've got, you know, two
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: urchins who would insist on coming with us and, you know, it.
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: Wouldn't be the same. If Evelyn and Austin get taken
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: to the United States out of me acknowledging the Texas
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: blue bells, blue bottles, blue bonnets, I'm going to be
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: seriously pissed.
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: By the way. But you should come. I mean, anyway.
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: Okay, let's all go. I imagine Netball USA has an
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: enormous amount of money to be flying smartasses from around
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: the world.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: Well, I will be there in a– Professional smartasses.
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, exactly.
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: Professional smartasses.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: We do this well.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: I will be there in a commentary role and a
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: bit of just a– hi guys and you know doing
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: whatever role julie fitzgerald is coming as well so we're
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: flying over and back together she's going to be over
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: there working with some of the coaches.
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: It'll be good fun amazing yeah we booked.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: A show at the sphere Oh, great.
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: What are you going to say?
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: Oh, I was devastated. I miss like literally either side,
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: Backstreet Boys. I miss them by a week and the Eagles. Oh,
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: my God.
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: I know. What are you going to say?
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: I was devastated. So the only actual concert that was
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: on whilst I was there was was Metallica, which I
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: know it would be insane, except I think that like
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: one of the shows started at 11 p.m. or something. Oh, no,
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: you can't do that. It was 600 U.S. a ticket.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: But during the day they do have the Wizard of
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: Oz that they do and apparently your seats move and
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: there's wind machines and it's like you're actually in it.
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: I'm excited.
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: Don't knock it.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: It was Metallica or the Wizard of Oz.
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: That's the latest thing I've ever heard.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: I had to go and see something at the Sphere.
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: I had one day, so that's what's happening.
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: Oh, I'm going to go and see Wicked Ewhack at
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: the Sphere.
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: I had no idea where you were taking that, but
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: I sure as shit didn't see the Wizard of Oz.
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: It's happening, guys. I'm so much less jealous now.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: That'd be great.
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: I'll happily stay here and do this podcast.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: I'm excited. Don't knock it.
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: That is so funny.
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah.
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: Anyway.
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: I think I would have taken Metallica.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: Well, I would have.
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: Well, that's fabulous. I'm excited for you. Oh, man.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: Apart from that, I know.
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: Anyway, were we going to play an interview from?
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: Well, we were, but let me tell you about something
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: else first. Or shall we do that first? Let's listen
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: to some unsensible talk for a moment.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: That was so 15 minutes ago.
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God. So, again, we had the launch on
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: last Thursday. So ASICS has been supporting Netball Australia for
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: over 20 years.
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: 25 years.
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: So that is amazing. So it was a celebration of
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: that long-term partnership. They had... shoes on the table with
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: flowers in it beautiful so great.
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah sometimes the shoes at my house grow mold so
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: it's really good.
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: Well anyway i got a bit excited when i got
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: to do this interview okay well this is very exciting
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: for me because i get to meet uh one of
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: my personal heroes uh tell me amy parmenter why are
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: you in town I'm.
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: In town for the ASICS dress launch and it has
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: been a great morning at Chiswick, one of my favorite spots.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: Did I hear you say you got married here?
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah, literally in December last year. Went to the registry
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: and then came to Chiswick for lunch. It is a
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: beautiful spot. The food is amazing and it's gorgeous.
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: Where's the registry now?
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: Is it still in?
• 19:12
  Speaker 4: It's down in like Pyrmont. Oh, okay.
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: Because I got married at the registry when it was
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: in Chippendale, but I drove past the other day and
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: saw that it's closed.
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: Oh, okay.
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: You know, things change in 20 years apparently. Well, nice
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: to have you back at the scene of the crime.
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: Scene of the crime.
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: Okay, so this is just a random question for you.
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: What is the most important position on a netball court
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: and why? Oh, no brainer.
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: Well, I have to say wing defence.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: Oh, my God.
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: I didn't expect you to say that, but I agree.
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: No, I'm not sure I can take the most important,
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: but I think– It's pretty up there. In terms of
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: how much it gets underrated, I think that it's definitely undervalued.
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: There's lots of benefits to wing defences. We were just
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: with all these little kids and I was like, any
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: wing defences? And they were like, no i was like
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: well at that age you don't want to be a
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: goal attack at that age but.
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: It's like girls girls stick your hand up the wing
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: defense on rep trial day so you'll get more.
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: Exactly you've got way less opposition.
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: So so when did you become a wing defense.
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: Well, I was a goalkeeper all through my junior years.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: Seriously?
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: Seriously.
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: And I did not keep growing and then eventually got
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: told out to be a wing defence and I was
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: not happy about it. I fought it for a while,
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: thought I might be able to change the system and
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: I couldn't. So, yeah, slowly went into wing defence and
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: now I love it. Wing defence is great because you
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: go out for a contest. If you miss it, there's
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: still two more people behind you.
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: That's right. It's not your job. I'll do my best, guys,
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: but ultimately, yeah, that's on you.
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: So, have you ever played in attack?
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: I've played a bit of centre and then we were
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: talking about this last week but I have played a
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: little bit of wing attack back in my Giants. The
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: Giants were a little while there but not much.
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: Very good.
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: And do you like Melbourne?
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I do except coming back here on a 27
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: degree day and going for a swim up one day,
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: I'm like, oh.
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: It's nice.
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: I was just talking to Georgie and she said the
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: only parts of Sydney she's ever seen are Sydney Olympic
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: Park and I said, oh, we've got to change that.
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: That's the thing.
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: All the girls when we come, we stay out in
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: Parramatta Olympic Park and they haven't seen the you know,
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: the beaches or this side of Sydney and it is
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: pretty amazing, you know, you forget. But, yeah, I miss
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: this part of Sydney.
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: Well, welcome home. You look pretty happy in that land though.
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: That looks like a pretty tight, happy place. team right oh.
• 21:28
  Speaker 4: It's been awesome and I think just you know sort
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: of the vision that we talked about at the start
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: three years ago and seeing that really come to life
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: in the last sort of eight months has been really
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: special I think you know Shay the GM she was
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: she is incredible and I'm just so excited to see
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: what her next adventure is because I'm pretty sure it's
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: going to be And then, yeah, I just think the
• 21:50
  Speaker 4: way they've aligned, like we have such genuine partnerships with
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: all the brands. We love doing Netball differently. I think
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: it's exciting. And, you know, today's actually the first day
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: of the Sirens coming on board too with SEM. I
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: think it really is exciting for the game. I think
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: it's what it needs. Hachi's got great ideas and he
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: loves the game. So, yeah, it's heading in the right direction.
• 22:07
  Speaker 4: And I think a bit more of that is going
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: to continue to grow the sport and new audiences.
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: Excellent. Well, thank you, Amy Parmenter. This is quite a
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: momentous day for me. You know, like I can often
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: talk to people who are in goal circles, but whatever.
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: You know, get their wing defence.
• 22:23
  Speaker 4: So you buy your wing defence now?
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: Oh, gosh.
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: You look like you can play.
• 22:27
  Speaker 4: I'm a crossfitter now. I'd protect my knees.
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: I was going to say, you look fit and strong.
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: Thank you.
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: So nice.
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: Thank you.
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: There you go.
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: How good.
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: Notice how she didn't ask Georgie Horges Wednesday's episode what
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: her best position was or what she thought was the
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: most important position on the court?
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: No, because I'm not interested.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: Targeted audience.
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: Absolutely. Great chat, though. And what she's done is just
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: remind me of that thing that I forgot that I
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: was going to talk about on Wednesday. Oh, the sirens.
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: It was about the sirens, yeah, because I don't know anything.
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: It's kind of like– I've received, so my contact there
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: has gone quiet. I'm still, I'm chasing someone else down
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: though at the moment. But it has just been a
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: kind of email to members. I know that there are
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: a lot of the dribblers who were there on the first, on,
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: you know, waiting for news. And it has been, it's
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: been a bit quiet. So I don't know any more
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: than you do, but I will try to find out
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: what I can.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: Liz Ellis, how's this having a conversation with this young
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: lady on Thursday at the ASIC stress launch? And she
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: tells me that she is actually going to support both
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: sides but is jumping ship to the sirens.
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: To the sirens.
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: I thought I'd made that very clear. I thought that
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: I'd made it very clear that I'm going to. It's hard.
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: Like I don't know how successful it will be because
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: it's hard to change an allegiance. And I have been
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: a Swifts fan for a very long time. We tried
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: to do this. with rugby league when the Titans came
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: in because everyone in this household disagrees. And we thought, well, let's,
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: we can all agree that we like Matt Rogers. So
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: let's get behind the Gold Coast Titans. And it was
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: just hard. Like we, we tried. So I don't know. I, I, I,
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: but you know, I do, I feel an enormous affection
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: and admiration for like, what Amy Sligar has done with
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: the Giants the last couple of years and what Sophie
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: Dwyer and how hard they've fought. So I'm going into
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: it already with a bit of an emotional attachment. But yeah,
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: I'm getting behind the new team because I think that
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: we have to. I think that in order for it
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: to be successful, we really need to embrace the new stuff.
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: When do you know if the shoe fits? Like how
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: long are you giving it? You go, yeah, I made
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: the right decision or It's just rubbing you the wrong way.
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: Well, I think I have to commit for a whole season,
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: don't I?
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you do.
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: I don't think I'm on a three-year deal so far.
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: That's just Amy Sliger and Grace Workie. But, yeah, I
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: think I have to commit for the whole season. But
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: it will be the way, you know, like I support
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: the Wallabies against the All Blacks, but I'll support the
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: All Blacks against anyone else. So I will still be
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: supporting the Swifts. It's really only going to change when,
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: It comes down to I'll probably go to more Sirens
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: games than Swifts games this year, but, you know, my
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: heart will still also be with the Swifts. You're making
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: this very hard for me, Catherine.
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: I know.
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to do the right thing. I'm out. No,
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: what I'm doing is outing you. I'm trying to invest
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: in the game.
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: Outing me. We appreciate that you support everybody, but I
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: was fascinated that you had decided that they were going
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: to be your number one team.
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: Well, I think if we want change. We have to
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: be the change.
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: Be the change.
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: So I'm getting behind the new one. But Daryl, good
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: friend of the podcast, Daryl Milton, we all know Mr. Statsman,
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: did some really interesting work during the week. He's got
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: his own Facebook channel now, Netball by Numbers, and that's
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: the sort of thing– Someone told me we didn't do
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: enough on the World Cup results out of Africa and Europe.
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: I disagree.
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: We're not actually a super pointy head netball podcast. We
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: want to be the podcast that's like what you talk
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: about on the sidelines at a carnival or whatever. But
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: Daryl does have one that is netball by numbers that
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: will be dissecting quite a lot of stuff in great detail.
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: And there are many other podcasts and places around that
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: you can get that information that you don't get here.
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: We pride ourselves on our half-arseness, but also our inclusiveness.
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: But Daryl went through the nine teams who have ever
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: played Super Netball. So that obviously includes the Magpies, who
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: then became the Mavs. So Magpies played seven seasons, Mavs
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: have played three seasons. And he ranked them in a
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: very complex but comprehensive way, giving points for Finals, appearances,
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: final wins, minor premierships, number of games that they've won
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: across the season. And have a guess, which team do
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: you think has been the most successful Super Netball team
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: in the 10 years of Suncorp Super Netball?
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: It's got to be, it's either the Lightning or the Fever.
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: I was going to say Vixens, but then they weren't
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: as successful early and Lightning were.
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: Hmm. And then the lightning have still chipped away at
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: finals for a while, as have fever though, haven't they?
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: So why don't I start in ninth place and work
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: it up for you? Well, I'll start in ninth place
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: and I recommend watching the video. It is long but
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: the methodology is very comprehensive and tight. So in ninth place. Firebirds,
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: which surprised the hell out of me. No, it doesn't
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: surprise me. And then I realised that they had an
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: enormous period of success in the ANZ championships, didn't they?
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: So they won the ANZs in 2011, 2015, 2016, and
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: the only team to win back-to-back ANZ premierships. But they've
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: only been in the finals once in Suncorp Super Netball era. Ah,
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: in a decade. And that wasn't in the grand final.
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: So in ninth place is the Firebirds. In eighth place
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: is the Magpies. Seventh, Mavs. Sixth, Giants. Fifth.
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: Swifts.
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: Thunderbirds.
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. That's right.
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: Which would be startling to anyone who had sort of
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: only just come in to watch Super Netball in the
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: last five years, wouldn't it? But, you know, they had
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: a very lean period. In fourth position is Swifts.
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: Third, Lightning.
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: Second, Fever. And the most successful club in the Super
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: Netball era has been the Vixens.
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: Oh, I love those a bit. There you go.
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, right.
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that does make sense.
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: Wow. Oh, wow.
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: Very cool. I thought that you would like that. I
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: certainly liked it. It surprised me, but that's the beauty
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: of numbers. It's the beauty of Daryl doing all this
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: work is that we get to take it and turn
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: it into a two-minute segment where we go, oh, that's surprising.
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: But I do love all the ebbs and flows of
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: that because during CBT, ANZ, Perth team, nowhere to be seen.
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: Now they're at the top of the pop. Melbourne's probably
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: been up the top the whole way through. Interesting, the Swifts.
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: The Sydney teams were, what, fourth and sixth?
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: Fourth and sixth, yeah.
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's interesting.
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: I have a challenge for Daryl. Excellent.
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: We haven't given Daryl a job in weeks.
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: So he's done that for, what, Suncorp Super Netball. I'd
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: like for Daryl to do it for the three eras,
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: so CBT, ANZ, SSN.
• 29:24
  Speaker 4: Please.
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: Oh, you're a jerk.
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: Because I'm sure he will do it.
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: That's going to be difficult.
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: But Liz, you could do it. You've done some wonderful
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: work as an intern with numbers.
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no. No. well, did you all see the Brisbane
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: 2032 logo? And I was really enjoying all of their
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: video reveals, getting athletes, past athletes. And I'm like starting
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: to put it together. And I thought, is it a pineapple? Yeah.
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: And I mean, Thorpey looks probably way too fit for
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: an ex-athlete. Like he's really given the rest of us
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: a bad name, but. I started to think it might
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: have been pineapple and I saw the little round bit
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: and I thought maybe that's a mango. Are we having
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: a fruit salad? I don't know.
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: Are we having an Olympic fruit salad?
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: I didn't know. That's the first sport that.
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: They do on day one is fruit salad.
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: And the inspirational song is going to be the Wiggles
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: singing fruit salad. Yummy, yummy.
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: That would be such a great Olympic event, fruit salad.
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: Wouldn't it? Oh, my goodness. It makes it like at
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: the Olympic level having to remind people of, no, you
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: are apples.
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: I'm not going through this again. It would be a
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: great opening ceremony, wouldn't it? Wouldn't it?
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: It would be great. Anyhow, so I had no idea
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: but I was fascinated and then allegedly it got, the
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: logo got leaked. An intern, I think from what I understand,
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: the poor bastard, whoever it is, put it up on YouTube.
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: But it was only there for a couple of minutes.
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: But by that point, like there were screenshots and so
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: it was leaked. And it's a cockatoo. And I think
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: it's beautiful. I really like it.
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: I love it. Catherine's seen that. It's also the shape
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: of the state of Queensland, but, yes, reminiscent of the
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: plume of a crested.
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: sorry but i did feel really sorry for whoever like
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: could you imagine that moment when you realize.
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: Oh liz ellis can you imagine that moment you have
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: lived that moment.
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: Well mine was mine was not so public right so
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: can you imagine that moment that poor intern when they
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: realize oh my god it was supposed to be a
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: test and i've done it and I don't know. Well,
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: thankfully that person has remained nameless and I hope they
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: are still employed because the thing that makes you better
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: is learning from your mistakes. They would never do that again.
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: And also, we probably wouldn't be talking about it right
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: now had that not happened. So there is definitely a
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: silver lining to it.
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely.
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: Deary me. Have you ever stuffed up in a first
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: job like that?
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: What was your first job, Elizabeth?
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: Oh, I had a number of first jobs. Like I...
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: It's not how first jobs work, by the way. I
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: was a checkout chick. I did lots of things. But
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: I also did a bit of an internship over summer
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: once for Netball Australia with Keely Devery, who was like
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: the media manager. And at that point, we didn't have
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: a list of test caps. And so she tasked me
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: with going through all of the match. Remember the score sheets?
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: And like Netball's been around now for 100 years. This
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: would have been 30 years ago. And so it was
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: 70 years worth of school sheets that I had to
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: go through and tot up mid-play.
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: And anyway, so I compiled the original list of who
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: had played how many test caps.
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: One, two, skip a few.
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: Well, unfortunately I did skip a few because in the
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: 99 World Cup, Vicky had to play all, Vicky Wilson
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: had to play all 10 matches to get to 100
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: test matches. Unfortunately, she only played nine. So she retired.
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: She was like Bradman, best ever, retired, 99, not out.
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: And then a few years later, somebody redid all the
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: counting and the original intern who had done it had
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: missed three test matches or five test matches.
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: Did the intern miss any of her own test matches
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: or was it just someone else's test matches?
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: Just someone else's test matches. So the original missed. The
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: original intern missed the numbers, so Vicky Wilson had to
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: be celebrated a little bit later for 104 test matches
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: because I'd missed a couple. In my defence, like, it
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: was a lot of score sheets to go through.
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: That is a full-on. Speaking of, though, it has jotted
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: my memory.
• 33:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: We're about to see our next centurion, guys. We are.
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: Courtney Bruce.
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: Oh, how exciting.
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: Sitting on 99.
• 33:53
  Speaker 4: Oh.
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: I think they don't play her in New Zealand so
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: we can celebrate it when she comes back to Australia.
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: I think that's a great idea. Well, but we want
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: to win.
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah. No, they need to play her. But how great.
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: And she just has snuck up, hasn't she? I think
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: we're all focused on Lizzie Watson getting her 100th and
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: there was a lot of hoo-ha around that so it
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: will be interesting to see if Courtney and Bruce will
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: get the same sort of.
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's exciting.
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: It's great, isn't it?
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, wow.
• 34:18
  Speaker 3: That's another one to the list. We're planning the hoo-ha,
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: not we.
• 34:21
  Speaker 4: Great.
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: Netball Australia are planning the hoo-ha.
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: Great.
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: For Courtney and Bruce.
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: Because it'll be in Sydney, won't it, that we'll get.
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: To celebrate it. It'll be in Sydney and another goalkeeper.
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: I finally have a friend.
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: Is she the first one since you? Oh, my God,
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: she is.
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: That's amazing.
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's all shooters and then Liz was the first
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: big quarter.
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: All shooters and Liz Watson, yeah. So I think Liz,
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: you'll be waiting a while to get a mate, but
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: I'm excited about having a little mate.
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: There you go.
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: Oh, wow, that's very exciting. You can put her in
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: your book. Black out the Governor-General.
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I was going to say we could put her
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: in the stage show, but I think she's got too
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: much self-respect to go in our stage show.
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: I think she's far too sensible as well.
• 34:58
  Speaker 3: This is true.
• 34:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: All righty, well, we should have a little break and
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: then come back for a really short final segment because,
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: my God, we've talked and talked and talked this week,
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: but what a great couple of reps.
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: Music Okay.
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: So we have talked about, I want to just do
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: a quick reminder, please go and subscribe to our YouTube channel.
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: We are growing very well. Again, we need a few,
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: if you know anyone who would like to sponsor this
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: podcast and Keep continuing to get the word out about
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: our wonderful sport. Please do put them in touch with us.
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: But we have lots of international listeners now we've already
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: talked about. I've acknowledged the US teams. I'm not speaking
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: about them anymore because apparently only Catherine gets overseas trips
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: when I do that. But I had a lovely message
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: from Alicia in Berkshire in England. And her mum, Ali,
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: who is having a 60th birthday this month, happy birthday, Ali,
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: is apparently a massive evangelist for not just Netball, but
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: the No Dribble podcast. So I wanted to say thank you, Ali.
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: Please continue your good work. And if everyone could follow
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: the lovely Ali's lead and tell people to listen to
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: No Dribble, that would help us. I've been very open
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: with my ambition for world domination for this podcast. And
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: we will be benevolent leaders. We won't abuse the power, but.
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: I'm abusing the power.
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: Will you?
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not signing up for that. Do you think
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: we'll get a sponsor if we get world domination?
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: Who knows?
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: I would hope so.
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: We have to see whether women spend any money. Is
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: anyone interested in women's sport?
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: Oh, dear. Anyway.
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: I've still got my hat on. I'm very interested.
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the girls. Yeah, so that's the International Day of
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: the Girl Child. But, Liz, you've got a No Dribble
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: Recommends to share. Oh, I do.
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: I actually went and saw some live music on Friday night. Oh,
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: I laughed. Was it the Wizard of Oz?
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: Shut up. No, I laughed because of the time of
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: the show.
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: How great.
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: Well, the time of the show was a little bit misleading.
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: So my sister bought the meat tray and I some
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: tickets and she came along with us and we went
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: to see the Whitlam's at the Brunswick Hotel.
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: Fantastic.
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: And, you know, like it was so great. Like the
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: Whitlam's were massive, like late 90s.
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: And, you know, that was a period of time where,
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: you know, we were sort of young and fabulous and,
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: Out and about. Out and about and in Sydney. So
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: it was actually, it was really, really great. I actually
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: didn't realise how upbeat their music was because I always
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: thought of Tim Freeman as like broody and serious.
• 37:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: I was like, oh, that's quite jazzy and poppy. Anyway,
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: it was fantastic.
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to think of a song.
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: Blow Up the Pokies.
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Blow Up the Pokies.
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: It's a beautiful, sad, poignant song, but there is a
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: lot more that sort of.
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: What about– Tell me a song.
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: What do they do? No, I'm a dizzy act. There's
• 37:52
  Speaker 3: no way I'm dizzy act like loneliness.
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: Truth.
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: Anyway, so– And a picture of you.
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: Letter to you on a cassette. So no one does
• 38:04
  Speaker 3: cassettes anymore. No one does.
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: Oh, they'll be back.
• 38:07
  Speaker 3: Yes, anyway, it was great. And so I think they've got,
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: it was the first night of their tour. So I
• 38:13
  Speaker 3: thoroughly enjoyed it. If anyone wants to go back and,
• 38:16
  Speaker 3: you know, relive the heyday of the late 90s, the
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: Whitlam's are fabulous. So it was really good. But we
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: thought they started at six. So we got there at six. No,
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: the Support Act started at six.
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: Oh, who was the Support Act?
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: Can't remember. It was two.
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: Must have been.
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: No, never.
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: For the supporters.
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: Oh, but, you know, sometimes they'll surprise you.
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: I went to see Ice House on the Opera House
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: steps and it was Sneaky Sound Sisters. Oh, cool.
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: Oh, wow.
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: That would have been great.
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: But, you know, that is on the Opera House steps.
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: They're going to have the big– this was at a pub.
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: So usually your support act at a pub is like– Local.
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: But we should be supporting them. I'm saying the wrong thing, but,
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: you know, it is like, oh, I wish I'd come
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: in an hour.
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Anyway, but they started it and they kicked off
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: at 8, so we were at home by 10.30, which
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: was still a very good pension time. Perfect. So we
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: loved it.
• 39:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: So it was great. And just it was nice. It
• 39:08
  Speaker 3: was a beautiful night at a great pub, sitting out
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: in the open.
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: How do people know about this stuff? I always hear
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: of people doing these fabulous things and finding these little
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: bands and things playing. How do you know? Is that
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: Amy Parmenter?
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: Fix your albumism algorithm. Yeah, Amy Parmenter.
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: Oh, fix my algorithm.
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: She went to Missy Higgins. on the Opera House Step.
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: She went to Missy Higgins?
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: Amy Sligo was there too.
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: How great would that have been?
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: Fantastic. But have you ever been, like the concerts on
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: the Opera House Steps, the Opera House Steps are really hard.
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: What's that?
• 39:38
  Speaker 3: I've been to some of the best concerts ever.
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: Says she with a perky ass.
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: I was quite comfortable with my flabby butt on the
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: opera house steps.
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: It's such a middle-aged response, isn't it? Should we go
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: to this amazing concert outdoors on the opera house steps?
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: I'm going to.
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: Take a pillow.
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: I'll just take the little seating thing that you take
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: to the stadium to watch the kids' footy.
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 39:58
  Speaker 3: And it was funny, speaking about the support act, one
• 40:00
  Speaker 3: of the guys, I can't remember his name, one of
• 40:02
  Speaker 3: the support acts was sort of berating the crowd for
• 40:05
  Speaker 3: not getting up and getting into and dancing and stuff.
• 40:07
  Speaker 3: And I was laughing because I'm like. That always works.
• 40:10
  Speaker 3: The reason we're here to see the Whitlands is because
• 40:12
  Speaker 3: we're all middle-aged.
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: You're all behaving like middle-aged lawyers from the northern beaches.
• 40:17
  Speaker 3: And I was like, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: That's exactly me.
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: It was very personal. Yeah.
• 40:24
  Speaker 3: That's what I was in the 90s.
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: Speaking of beaches, please praise me. I had my very
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: first swim in the ocean of the season yesterday. It
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: was bracing.
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: It was beautiful.
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: But, you know, so we went to Manly and we
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: got there and they didn't have any flags up because
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: they had the big storm the night before.
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: Oh, that was hectic.
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: And so they were saying that there was some dangerous current.
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: So we sort of hung about on the sand for
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: a bit and soaked up some warmth, which was really nice.
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: Then they put the flags up, but they had one
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: really narrow area where they put the flags up on
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: the whole stretch of beach. And they were on that
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: loud hailer saying, we can open the beach, but only,
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: you know, you can't go out deep. There are dangerous
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: currents and blah, These guys are volunteers. They give their
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: time to make us safe on the beaches. If anything
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: goes wrong, they put their own lives at risk to
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: go out and save us. And people still think, yeah, no,
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to do what you say. I'm going
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: to just swim outside the flags and do whatever the
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: hell I want. And then if I get in trouble,
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: you have to come. It's like, can we just show
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: some respect to the expertise and also the effort that
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: they are making there? Like, I think it's such an
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: enormous privilege that we can go to the beach, but
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: the ocean is dangerous. So, you know, these people... give
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: up their day you go down on Christmas day there's
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: people volunteers there on duty do what they say anyway
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: I went in I go under three times doesn't matter
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: how cold it is I go under three times after
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: that I'm allowed to get out but after your third
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: time that's when you start to.
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: Acclimatize yeah I went for one in Queensland too it
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: was far warmer by this count well I'm far warmer
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: by the sound of that yeah because I'm a big
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: sook when it comes to ocean temperature.
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: It is lovely, though, once you get out of a
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: cold ocean swim and you go, I've just done something
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: hard and I feel very alive.
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: But, Liz, that No Dribble recommends, it's really just No
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: Dribble shows off, isn't it? Because it's not like people
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: can go to that concert. It's already happened.
• 42:22
  Speaker 3: No, that's what I said. It's the start of their tour.
• 42:24
  Speaker 3: So go and find the tickets to their tour.
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: Oh, we'll run.
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: We should do a No Dribble shows off. That'd be fun.
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: That would be fun, wouldn't it?
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 42:31
  Speaker 3: I'm done. I've got nothing to show off about.
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: I don't do some of those things very often.
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: I haven't been to the gym.
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: I haven't done anything. All right.

  Speaker 3: So you know how Catherine's going to see the Wizard
• 42:56
  Speaker 3: of Oz in Vegas.
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: Only Catherine can make a trip to Vegas nerdy. Yeah, exactly.
• 43:01
  Speaker 3: Well, do you know, I went to Disneyland with her
• 43:05
  Speaker 3: once and she was like unbearable in the lead up.
• 43:07
  Speaker 3: She was unbearably excited. It was like going with a five-year-old.
• 43:10
  Speaker 3: And then we got there and the first ride we
• 43:12
  Speaker 3: went on, I thought we'll do something really low key
• 43:14
  Speaker 3: because she's scared of heights. So we went on the
• 43:16
  Speaker 3: Finding Nemo ride and we walked down and, She couldn't
• 43:21
  Speaker 3: cope with it because it was underground and she got out.
• 43:24
  Speaker 3: So that was the end of Disneyland for everyone. Oh, God, lover.
• 43:27
  Speaker 3: So hopefully The Wizard of Oz won't be too... Too scary.
• 43:30
  Speaker 3: Too scary.
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: The flying monkeys gets a bit stressful.
