  Speaker 1: Well, the Commonwealth Games have started. I was proven wrong.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: It was not the Proclaimer's five hundred Miles that is
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: the official song of the Commonwealth Games for twenty twenty six.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: A huge missed opportunity for Scotland, I think. But obviously
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: all we like to talk about here is old songs.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: You're a No Dribble strap in Hello and welcome to
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: No Dribble, the podcast where we talk about netball and
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: we talk about so much more. I've never been to
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: the Commonwealth Games. My name is Carolyn Swindell.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: I've been to three. My name is kath Cox.
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: Catherine is the winner because I've only been to two
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: because I break myself before I could go to three.
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: But I've commentated. My name is Mzellis. Yes, so can
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: I say let me say, Carolyn that the Proclaimer's song,
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: the five hundred Miles that was in the opening ceremony
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: of the Glasgow Commonwealth Games in twenty fourteen, because I
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: commentated that opening ceremony and I love that song, and
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: I put that was back when we're on Twitter before
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: it became a cess pit, and I put out on
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: Twitter how cool, and I got all this hate going.
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: It's a shit song and I'm like, it's a great
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: song on a Scottish accent anyway.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: Fave hundreds, mosh fave hundreds more.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Oh my god. Well we need to talk a lot
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: about the Commonwealth Games today. I do wonder though, if
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: it was happening in Victoria. Well, first of all, it
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: would all be finished by now. But what would the
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: song have been had Melbourne gone through with the plan
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: to host the Commonwealth Game? So what under? No, it's
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: got to be something more is localized. Yeah, isn't it
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: usually more sort of current than that? So in Melbourne
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: two thousand and six, together we are one by who?
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: By who? No idea Delta Gudrum, Oh yeah, Delta. So
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: she's she's been kicking goals for a long time. Did
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: sad stop talking about the soccer? They don't kick a
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: lot of goals in soccer, but Delta Gudroom two thousand
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: and six she was doing that and this year she
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: was at Eurovision. I don't know what I would like
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: to have had, you know that song Things of Stone
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: and Wood where they just say all the things about Melbourne,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: and then we could do Happy Birthday Helen woah and
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: make it all about Helen Housby. I think they missed it. Yeah,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: we walked along the y as we something something looked
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: at the Arts Center and had some nice pastries.
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: Happy birthday, Helen. Whoa, yeah, it's a great also beer
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: which is a great beer. So we're all happy. It's
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: a beer brood at Bar and Bay.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: So this, Oh my god. We should have done the
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: opening ceremony, Liz, maybe we could do the opening ceremony
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: for twenty thirty two Brisbane. Oh Jesus, this is a
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: conversation I have a lot with my Brisbane friends, is like,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: what should the opening ceremony be?
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: Wait, you missed a World Cup at home that you
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: could do the opening ceremony for.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: That's not in Brisbane, is it? And I think there's
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: some really great Brisbane stuff. I'd like to see. Matilda
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: the Winking Cango.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: I went to her twice last week. She's at a
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: service station on the freeway up to Bundy. Oh well,
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: she's just cruising at McDonald's, guys in the retirement. She
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: doesn't anymore, doesn't, No, she doesn't wink. She's been computer
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: chip removed.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: So the twenty eighteen Cowalth games are on the Gold
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: Coast weren't they. So I was in the opening ceity
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: for that and Catherine, you know how last week I
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: heard I laughed when I heard you talking about half
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: of bringing you down a notch. I was actually on
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: the Gold Coast with my daughter this morning. We went
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: up to do some things and we drove past the mascot.
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: There was a little statue of the mascot and everyone.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: Was like little Kohala for Barbeh. What's his name?
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Borrobie, that's right. She said, was that for the
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: twenty eighteen comonwth Games? I said, yeah, it was. It
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: was all the Gold Coast And she said you were
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: in that, weren't you? And I said, yeah, you came.
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: She goes, yeah, didn't you carry the spatchelor around the
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: stadium at the end for fun?
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: Did you have the toilet key attached to it? It was.
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: Queen's letterer was a queen fashion. She's like, oh, thought
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: it was a spatula.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: The Queen's spatula.
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: Was like she was seven, but she thought it wasn't
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: like a kitchen implement that I was running around with.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: I'm like, oh my god.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: All this time. They don't like the call an. They
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: flip a pancake at the end.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: The Olympic torch is more impressive than the Commonwealth Games Bachelor, though,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: isn't it. Well, I think we can all agree that
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: it is.
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: Oh, it's a Queen's baton with a letter from the queen.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: So now have you got your bachelor in the house.
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: No, we didn't get to keep a copy of the
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: Queen's baton for that, but I do have my Atlanta
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: in the house that I run with. That's pretty cool.
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: I've got it framed up. Apparently there's lear asinum. You
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: could light it and I thought about using it for
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: a barbecue, but no, I'm given it the dignity deserves
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: and it's sitting. Where is it?
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: Can you show us? Is it in your study?
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: No, it's nice. Not in here, it's it's in the
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: in the rumpus room where there's photos of playing netball. Yeah,
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: so that's there, but no, no, no baton. But I
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: actually was thinking this week about the Commonwealth Games and
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: the first time, the first time that netball was in
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: the game. I don't think people realize this. Netball didn't
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: debut at the Commonwealth Games as a full medal sport
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: until nineteen ninety eight. So, Catherine, you've just reminded me
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: of nineteen ninety in Netbought. There was an exhibition match
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: between Australia and New Zealand that was played in the
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: Auckland Commonwealth Games with a full metal sport was in
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: nineteen ninety eight. So I played in that Commonwealth Games
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: and it was so exciting in the lead up because
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: that was the first time we ever got to be
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: part of a big multi sport event. And I reckon
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: the Cola Games gets a bit of a does cop
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: a bit of a slaging because it's not the Olympics,
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: but it's so amazing and it's so important for young
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: athletes to sort of find their feet. And at that
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: common Games in Kuala Lumpa, there was a young kiddy
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: just out of his goggle, out of his you know,
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: his what do you call the things that they the
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: kids wear on their arms when they're swimming.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: Please, teacher? Oh yeah, can I guess.
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: Yes, you can in flighties. Yes, I thought it was
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: just out of his flighties. He was really young, and
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: so we went to watch him swim and then you
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: could just see he was a bit nervous little kiddy.
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: At the Commonwealth Games, and then he that's how he
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: found his feet and then the rest is history. Goes
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: on to the Olympics two years later and breaks world
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: records and was astounding. But I think the Commonwealth Games
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: are so important for young Australian athletes to find their feet,
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: and so I'm so pleased at the going ahead in Glasgow,
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: and though it's a bit reduced, and I'm so pleased
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: at netball's getting a run, but back in night End
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: it was amazing. And this was before there was such
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: an innocent time. So when we got there, the security
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: gates weren't quite finished and so we were able to
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: walk through and I was really checking. And then when
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: they did get finished, we all grumble because we had
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: to line up and I overlighting up one day behind
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: Sash and ten Dorka and I can't believe I'm here.
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: I can't believe I'm lighting up at security making small
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: talk because we put our stuff through with Sash and
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: ten Doorka. Right, it was just amazing. And so that
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: Common Off Games for the first time there was netball,
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: rugby seven's and cricket and it was so much.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: This was a same big.
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: This is in kl Yeah, so it was amazing, such
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: an amazing event. And then at the end there was
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: a gold medal game we won, and but we weren't
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: allowed to go out because there was some political up
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: people and so we all had to We weren't allowed
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: to leave the athletes village, but the cricket guys made
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: sure and Steve Ware was the captain of the cricket
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: team and he just rang someone at Fosters and all
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: this beer tuned up and we didn't have to go anywhere.
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: It was such a funny night.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: Oh and didn't that turn out? Well hey hey, hey, yeah, yeah,
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: I can't tell that story.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: Well you tell it at live tell it at a
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: live event where we don't event.
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: Well, the person who could tell that story isn't part
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: of this podcast. But it was a funny story.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: Okay. That whole thing about the importance of the Commonwealth Games.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: I've been doing a lot of work with Unisport and
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: about the pathway for elite athletes. And this isn't just
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: about netball, but across all sports, and there is not
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: many of those huge multi sport tournaments where players can
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: get that type of experience. And it's not just players,
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: it's the sort it's the managers, it's the officials. So
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: the Commonwealth Games and the University Games do a really
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: important job in preparing us for the Olympics. And it's
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: not just competing and winning more medals because it's a
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: smaller pool than the Olympics is, but it actually does
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: help athletes go what is it like to live in
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: a village with multi sports? And then all of those
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: other people, you know, university sports events, they take things
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: like aspiring sports journalists and the like. So these these
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: types of events, it's very difficult to replicate that. So
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: if we lose the Commonwealth Games, we lose a really
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: key opportunity to prepare our athletes and our officials for
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: those sorts of sports. So get around the Commonwealth Games
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: because also we do well, which is fun right.
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, totally. Well, it was a netbull last Commonwealth Games.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: That the one thousandth gold medal for Australia a Commonwealth Games.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: It was netball in the very last event of the
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: day when it was decided. Yeah we won it.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: And that was in Birmingham against Jamaica in the final.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: Oh so the song of that tournament was champions by
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: ub forty of course who we would all know from
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: Red Red.
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: But how's champions go? I can't think of it.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: Champean goes to my head, makes me forget that. Get
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: the still need champee. It might be it might be
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: a little bit different.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: It sounds like it's red red ye. I don't know.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: I don't know how it went, but I do. I
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: can tell you Auckland nineteen ninety with that demonstration match
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: the song of that was. This is the moment. This
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: is the moment that was in Auckland. That was the
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: song there.
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: You're allowed to meet without actually singing them. You know,
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: I had to mention something sing the Carolyn.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: I agree, because we don't know what that is.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: Well, I think that I did sing. I just don't
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: know whether I sang the right version of it. And
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: you don't know whether I sang the right version.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: I was here for it. Did you see me looking
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: at you? Yeah?
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: I did see I did say looking at me gays.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: So we've done it a lot of matter about the
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: Commonwealth Games, and we haven't even had our netball segment.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: We're going to have a little break and then we're
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: going to come back and we're going to talk about
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: some netball, which will also sit in the VN diagram
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: of Commonwealth Games. I've got a really good ask the
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: goat and the goal question. It's not asking me apparently,
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: But we have a little break and we'll come back
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: and I might sing some more songs.
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: Who knows you Why, who goes along with you? Getrong
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: next to you?
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: Bye bye, fun.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: Fellows that malestone. Okay, Catherine asked me in the break
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: to please not sing any more songs. Liz is on silence,
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: so I'll take that as a as a piece of
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: feedback to But I have a question for you relating
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: to the Commonwealth Games, and we will talk about netball shortly,
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: but this about the specifics of netball at twenty twenty six.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: But this is a more general question and comes to
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: us from a little fella you might know as Darryl Milton,
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: obviously one of the og Dribbler's great contributor two.
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: Halves of stage at a live event.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: Loves a stage in a microphone at a live event. Okay,
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: so his question is when do professional netballers get their
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: nails checked? Do they get them checked in the dressing
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: room before the matches? And what about an event's like
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: the world Cup or the Commonwealth Games. Now there's a
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: punt beat of this question, but I want to talk
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: about the nails. I want to know we've talked you
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: guys have talked to us in the past about having
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: to give urine samples for drugs. What about the fingernails,
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: Like what happens?
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: This was always annoying because in these tournaments, you think
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: you do it at the start, it maybe do it
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: halfway through. But they used to do it every day.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's been a minute since we were at
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: a tournament that was a World Cup or a Commonwealth Games.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: But they used to do it every day, and every
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: time you'd be like, are you like they've not grown
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: in a day less.
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: Than a day.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: Maybe if they had, then they'd send you for drug
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: testing to see if you're on some sort of human
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: growth hormone or something that.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: Would have been smart. Yeah. No, so they do still
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: do it. I can't recall if it was on court
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: or in the change room. It must have been on
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: court because you don't really see the umpires until then.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: But I've never seen anyone at a super Nepple game
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: getting their nails checked. Litz.
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: My memory, Catherine is it was always we have to
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: walk out of the change room. Do you remember the
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: umpires are coming? Okay, yeah, checked. Sometimes the umpires are
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: coming to the change room, but it was never on court.
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: It was always either in the change room or at
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: the back for big games. But maybe, like you know,
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: for a World Cup or something like that. I reckon,
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: the umpires do come and check your nails. But it's
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: been a number of years since I played in the
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: World Cup.
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: So yeah, and then we used to bend your fingers.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: It's a genius. No one's ever thought of that. My
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: daughter have tried that on the weekend, did not get
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: away with it. Okay, So you think it wasn't on
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: court that we think we can rule out. And I
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: think we've all seen you get to these You get
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: to a supernetball game early enough, go to the bar,
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: get your drinks, sit down in your seat. There's a
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: lot of interesting stuff to watch. But I've never seen
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: fingernails being checked on court. So it's either happening in
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: the change rooms or out in the corridor outside the
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: change room there. So I reckon we'll have some dribblers.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: He'll be able to contribute some advice on that front.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: Forest and I look forward to hearing part B of
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: Daryl's question. Speaking of Commonwealth Games, I've seen Georgie Horges
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: and Sophie Garbin's clothing hall videos and wonder whether the
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: rules are that you have to wear team uniform for
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: the entire time that you've traveled as part of a team,
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: or whether you can wear your own clothes as well.
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: Oh the loot, wasn't that the best day when you
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: go and pick up your staff because there is so
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: much stuff it's nuts. But when you get to the
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: village you have to be in full Commonwealth Games gear
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: all the time. You can't be wearing anything else because
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: there's obviously sponsors of all that year and of the team.
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: But there is so much stuff you'd never complained about it.
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: If there wasn't something there for you to wear any
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: particular occasion, you're not looking hard enough. I even remember
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: in Melbourne we were given a specific Dias tracksuit that
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: was to be worn in a metal presentation, so if
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: you didn't get to a metal presentation, you didn't wear it.
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: But it was the nicest tracksuit in all of the kit.
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: It was the LUA. It was white with green stripes
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: down the side, but.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: On the you didn't have juicy across your bar.
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: Sadly no, My bum was juicy though. But on the
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: inside of it all the lining had the names of
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: every former gold medalist ever oh Australia. So the tracksuit's
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: got our names in it. It's really cool.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: But wear the pits.
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: Nah, I mean no, I think. I mean it's on repeat,
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: so potentially you're in someone's in your pits. But it
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: was really cool. But the saddest thing was we could
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: wear it just that one time when we had the
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: metal presentation, and then in your head you're like, I'm
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: gonna wear this all the time. It's so comfortable. No
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: one's rocking around apart from John Howard in Australian track suits.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: The Sydney two thousand volunteers kept their track suits alive
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: for a long time. I still occasionally see.
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: One Catherine you guys did after that two thousand and
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: six common Wealth Games. Often wear little bits and pieces
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: when we're on tour with the Diamonds, and I missed
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: that Commonwealth Games with my knee injury, so I really
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: loved it when you pulled out all your really nice
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: stuff that I didn't get any of and you'll be like, oh,
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: do you remember this happened? You remember that happened, And
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: it wouldn't be like, well, you wouldn't mean to be mean.
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: But I was like, ah, the one time I miss
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: and I don't get all this really schmick oh stuff,
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: So I have I did in the immediate period afterwards
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: flog a pair of added dash socks of yours, which
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: I've still got because I've got coxy on them. Australia.
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: Ah. That was actually one of the funniest things whenever
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: we were on tour, because when you're away for three
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: or four weeks, you have to do massive communal washes,
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: don't you. So most people would put their stuff in
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: a washbag like you're undies and your socks and bits
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: and pieces stuff would always get out of it, but
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: so the big wash would go with the manager. She'd
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: bring it back. There were people that were put on
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: laundry duty that had to sort it all out and
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: put it in room piles and all this sort of stuff.
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: But you would quite often at a training camp, you know,
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: three months down the track, see someone with a cox
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: socker side. Oh god, well.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: Okay, so but they have to travel as a team
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: in the in the apparel, they're all wearing the same
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: stuff there.
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: I don't think that was common with game stuff. It
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: looked like it was jagged.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: Stuff which looked like it was jagged stuff. Is that
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: a MAV sponsor?
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: No, No, that's Beck Judge, Rebecca Judge. Oh okay, yeah,
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: she's got that brand. So I'm not sure if she
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: commed it to them prior to I would have thought
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: they'd have to wear their common game stuff, but given
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: they went from Camp, I'm not sure of it. But
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: once you get to Camp, sorry, once you get to
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: the Komwalth Games village, I know you do have to
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: wear it.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: So what like so that Valua track suit, that would
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: you have been allowed to wear that after? Given that
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: you were a metallist and so therefore the achievement unlocked,
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: you get to wear the official Valua tracksuit. Would you
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: have been allowed to wear it after the games and
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: you just went it's a bit walking around your medal
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: on or who's doing, but you would have been It's
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: not It's not forbidden.
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: I don't think so. I don't know about the crestal
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: is because I know with the Australian Netball uniform, anything
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: with a crest on it, we're not supposed to wear.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: I've lent also podcast hosts and not supposed to wear it.
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: Sorry.
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: I wrap in your tracksuit and stuff you can wear around,
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: But like Catherine said, who's like, you're not gonna wear
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: it down the street. I've got bags and bags of
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: tracksuits which will never see the light of day because
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: you're not going to pull them out and wear them.
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, towards the end of a tournament, they would open
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: up a shop and you could go in there and
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: buy all this excess gear because obviously they want to
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: get rid of it, but you can buy it for
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: your relatives or your friends or whatever. And you go in,
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: they're all excited and shop up and I mean all
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: that stuff never gets worn either, because who wants to
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: rock around with it looking?
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: Like do you remember this that before the Sydney two
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: thousand Olympics, there was this notion that the merch was
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: going to be super valuable one day. And I don't
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: know when that one day is, Like it's twenty six years,
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: not quite long enough for it to have become slivatic,
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: but like, yeah, that you could go into the official
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: Sydney two thousand merch store and buy a coffee mug,
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: and that allegedly that was going to be your key
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: into the Sydney property market at some stage in subsequent years.
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: I just wonder whether there is a hot sort of
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: secondhand market in this and it was like, you can't
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: take it. You've got to keep your merch pristine, don't
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: take it out of the packaging.
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: It's marketing genius.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: It is marketing genius. The other thing is there's pins.
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: People buy pins and which are kind of fun, like
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: if you know the movie Off for Space. They can
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: contribute to your thirteen pieces of flair. But like those things,
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: they do have I think they have a tradeability about them,
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: because there are some that are people want to get
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: a whole set and things. But my Sydney two thousand
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: coffee mug, yeah yeah, not for sale, guys, not for sale.
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: Too valuable. Now we'd be able to afford it.
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: Hang on to it. But Liz, we used to always
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: trade country badges, didn't we. I'm not sure if that
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: still happens, but we I've got a stack of badges
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: from the countries that we played against. So when we
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: would go and shake hands, we would always swap a badge.
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: That's cool, particularly at a Commonwealth Games or a World Cup,
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: because you'd have your laniards and you'd put them on
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: your lanias and collect you.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: Have pieces of flair. Have you ever seen the movie
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: Off of Space? Oh? No, Oh, it's so good. Jennifer
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: Aniston's in it, and she works in this it's like
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: a TGI Friday's thing. And she's got this idiot boss
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: and they are required to have little bit badgers and
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: things and they're called pieces of flair and she only
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: has the minimum number of the pieces of flair and
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: they say that shows she doesn't really have the right
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: attitude for this bar. Anyway, it's very funny. Go and
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: watch it. Well worth it. If you've ever worked in
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: an office, this movie will resonate for you, all right.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: So Gordie was going to tell us after she saw
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: the first day on court of everyone who she thinks
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: will win the medal. And I think that next Monday
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: we're going to have to ask her for a report
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: on who she thinks will be gold, silver, bronze, and
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: who will come for anyone here wanting to change their
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: lineup from a few weeks ago.
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: Australia, New Zealand, Australia, New Zealand, England for me, yep, Liz.
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: Yep, all right, yeah, Australia, New Zealand, England. Yeah. I
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: should go something different though, to make it like competitive
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: for US.
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: I thought you said South Africa last time, we're going
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: to be.
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: Your Gordy was saying she's got her eye on the
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: South Africans.
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: I'm going to go Australia, New Zealand, South Africa. But
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: I don't know. Australia, New Zealand, Uganda.
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, okay, Well Uganda came in ahead of South Africa,
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: didn't they. They came in fifth last week our last
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: Colm Games.
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: Oh there you go.
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: All right, Well, just make sure that we're all watching.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: Netball is so great to be a netball fan at
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: this particular time in the sporting world cycle because it's
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: the best sport at the Commonwealth Games. Obviously there's only
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: twelve sports. I think this time Glasgow was able to
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: do it on a skinnier sport roster. But anyway, thank
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: you Glasgow. We appreciated because we're excited that the Commonwealth
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: Games are on. And just quick quiz who's been listening
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: to Carolyn Melbourne two thousand and six. What was the song, Liz,
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: You have plenty of time to listen to it.
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: It was Delta.
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: Yes, yes, it was Delta, and it was I need
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: a hero.
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: No, together, we are one.
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: You do need a hero.
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: I do need a hero.
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: Any let's stop talking about two thousand and six? What
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: a yeah sad for? Can you throw a some of
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: your merch?
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: Well?
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: No, if we didn't win, it was her fault.
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, so she can have the merch.
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: We will meddle if you want it.
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: Why are we feeling sorry for you? Your knee? Let
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: us all down anyway, Darryl, thank you for that excellent question,
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: and please, dribblers if you do know the answer, particularly
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: about the fingernails. I am desperate to hear this. I
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: want to know. But let's take a little break and
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: then come back. I've got a no dribble recommends. Got
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: some other another little question too that I think we'll
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: all be interested in. Okay, I have lost my phone
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: and it's got the question on it.
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: You are a well oiled machine. But after one hundred shows, what.
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: A cracking start this is to our third segment. I'm
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: going to We've got a question through Instagram and this
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: is from Leanne vander Raden, and I thought it was
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: a really interesting question. So Hi, I'm someone who thinks
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: there should be a cap on international players, but I'm
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: wondering if having so many in Australia have impacted the
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: league in other countries. So the country the home country
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: of these players who are coming over here and playing
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: in our commp do the overseas fans of netball want
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: to see their players on court there? And is it
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: impacting the amount of spectators at their games that all
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: of these key players are in Australia. It was a
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: thought I had when I was listening to you saying
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: some countries aren't doing as well as we are in
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: our national competition. So I think just to summarize that
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: Super net Ball is the best netwal comp internationally. Separately
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: to that, we were talking about there being some sort
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: of question over the New Zealand League next year. Now
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: all I'm looking at is what I saw in the
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: media on that. So there are still a number of
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: extraordinary New Zealand players who have been playing in New
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: Zealand and we'll be seeing more of them in the
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: Commonwealth Games, but those little caveats asign, I thought it
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: was a really interesting question. So how do you how
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: do we think that fans in New Zealand are feeling
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: about this exits? How do we think South African fans
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: are feeling about us having El Moray? How do how
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: are English fans feeling about us having fran williams Helen?
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: How's by Sasha Glasgow Like It's I just sort of
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: really interesting question. What is the impact on fans in
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: those home countries.
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: I think the one that'll be feeling at the most
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: is New Zealand, and I reckon they'll be very nervous
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: about next year because the floodgates have opened, haven't they.
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: There's been a little taste firstly with Grace Weki opened
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: up the floodgates, but they have I reckon opened even more.
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: That competition will one hundred percent suffer because of it.
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: And I do feel really sorry for the fans over there.
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: I do, because they love their netball. They'd love to
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: see them and that was obviously the whole reasoning for
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: Netborne New Zealand having the restrictions in the first place,
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: because that is detrimental, isn't it to everybody. However, on
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: the flip side, I think it has made them stronger internationally.
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: If that's what they want to, then get excited about.
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: But it is tough. Of course, you want to see
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: the best players in your backyard.
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: I do think that I think you're right about the
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: New Zealand comp, Coxy, and the English comp is getting stronger.
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: I mean the fact that Sophie Fawn's signed to play
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: in the English Super League or another couple of years
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: indicates that there is, Yeah, there is a bit of
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: staying power there and I think they're only going to
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: get that league is only going to get better and better.
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: And I do wonder at some point if the leagues
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: ensure that they don't overlap so that players can play
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: from one leg to the next to the next. It's interesting,
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: isn't it though, Because if you're not from maybe those
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: two competitions, you know, I see stuff online about fans
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: from other teams, so South Africa or Uganda or who
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: are really proud when their players play super Netble. All right,
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: It's like us being really proud when an Australian plays
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: in the NBA or an Australian plays in the premier league.
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: It shouldn't take away from the colp here, but everyone's
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: really proud when that happens. And I do think that
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: super netbal because we've been really or netball has you know,
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: super netbwl's been really sort of loudly saying it's the
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: best netball league in the world. You can see fans
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: being really proud of their favorite players when they get
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: to sign up and come and play here. So I
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: reckon it's manageable for the other leagues, and I suspect
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: that they're looking at ways to sort of, you know,
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: how do we become super neble, how do we become
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: the best league in the world. But in the meantime,
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: the fans probably lose a little bit from not seeing
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: them in their own league, but they're excited when their
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: players make it to the best league.
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: And one of the best examples was that if you
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: saw Mary Cholock's post recently when she went back home
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: and she stopped in at the local netbook courts and
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: they're all playing netball and she was a hero ran
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: to her all excited, but she said it also got
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: her quite emotional because that's how she got opportunities in
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: her life to do things outside of that country and
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: gave her all those experiences and stuff. So I mean,
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: that's just so cool, and it's stuff you don't think
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: about because we are so lucky to have that as
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: stuff that's open to us all the time. But I
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: just thought that was really cool.
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: Interesting, Liz you talking about there the potential about all
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: of these leagues kind of lining up their seasons sequentially.
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: I mean, I've got a couple of thoughts about that. One.
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: I look at our Diamonds and think, well, they've gone
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: straight from particularly anyone who was in the Vixens and Thunderbirds.
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: They were playing the Grand Final on Saturday night and
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: then Monday morning in in camp and they're now doing that.
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: There's still and this is an unusual year, but next
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: year is an unusual year too because we've got the
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: World Cup so and then they will be Constellation Cup
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: later in the year. There's generally other international series that
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: get announced and squad so those players probably wouldn't have time,
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: let alone the load that goes on their body. But
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: for the next the next tier of players, those who
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: aren't in say the Diamonds in the Australian example, if
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: they are going to be then they could build more
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: of a living going from camp to camp, I guess.
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: But we'd also then be narrowing further the number of
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: opportunities that are available. Like at the moment, if you're
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: not playing in Super Netball, then there's the New Zealand League,
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: there's the league in the UK. There's opportunities, right, And
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: we saw Danelle Wallam went over to New Zealand and
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: then came back and came back as a as a
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: starting player for Lightning and into the Diamonds and the like.
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: So it's certainly not like, well, once you go, there's
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: no coming back. I suspect we will see Sophie Fawns
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: back in a couple of years, you know, in a
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: starting position. But wouldn't that just I mean, be great.
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: As a fan, I'd loved it. I just don't have
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: time to watch any more netball during the season, and
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: then it's like the UK season finished a week before ours,
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: so to New Zealand and so I'd love to be
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: getting involved in those now. But you know, it would
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: just effectively reduce the number of professional positions available, wouldn't it.
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: Well, it would, but it also give those people because
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: so if you're a I don't know if you're a
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: Grace White would probably not Grace because she's now made
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: the Diamond squad. But you finish a domestic league and
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: you've got no international responsibilities whatsoever. That's a very big
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: chunk of time that you're doing this.
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: Aaron O'Brien, for instance, I actually.
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: Do like the fact that they could then go and
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: do that as well. I think that would be unreal
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: to be able to keep people playing.
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but that's a really good example of the things
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: that you have to weigh up as you as you
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: make these decisions, right, So, and you know, we're a
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: long way away from that, I think, given that all
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: the those three legs all sort of overlap quite a lot. So,
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: and then you know, you've got World Netball and you know,
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: I read there annual report this week and they're talking
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: about holding a World Cup every two years rather than
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: every four years. Then you've got to factor that in
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: as well. So who knows how that will go. So
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: I think at the end of the day, we just
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: need to speak to God and manufacture all weeks sit
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: in the opinion.
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: Well, that'd be handy, wouldn't it. Actually, what I would
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: like if we could perhaps have a lockdown once every
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: six weeks, if we just have one week where everyone
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: has to stay at home. There's no sport, there's no
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: social activities. It's just stay in your house just for
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: this one week, and then we go back to normal programming.
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: I think that I could get some stuff done if
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: we were able to do that. So I don't know, Cath, can.
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: You use is that no dribble recommends?
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a no dribble recommends, and Cath's going to
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: take that as an action to try to escalate that
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: in the government and see what we can do. I
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: think it's got to be a global thing for it
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: to work.
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: So speak to the people and I'll also get them
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: globally to start listening.
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, get them. Cat, You're so amazing, You're so
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: efficient taking on to two actions at once. Yes, that
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: would be a no dribble recond Liz question without notice?
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: Oh god, do we know about when World Cup tickets
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: might be going on sale or anything?
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: Any un.
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: I don't say too much soon next, Yeah.
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: Sometime in the next mid July. So I would say
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: sometime in the next month.
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: So that's everybody. Are you're going to get a whole
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: group of your dribble fans people and go and do
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: a little box and stuff for the whole tournament.
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: Again, well that sounds fun, although I don't know that
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: that's very good for my health doing that.
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: Oh it's only twelve days, you'll be fine, Suck it up.
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there's the Grand Finals only one day and I'm
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: barely recovered. Okay, So keep an eye out for that, Dribblers.
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: I'm hoping. And obviously, Liz, this is an official feedback.
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: This is just me mouthing off because I've got a microphone.
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: I hope we're given a little bit of visibility. One
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: of the things I found a little bit frustrating with
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: the sale of the Grand Final tickets, for instance, is
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: it's like get on and buy immediately, and you don't
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: get to know in advance. Okay, this ticket will cost blah.
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: And so then it's like I can afford that one,
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: and I can afford the one above it. I'll try
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: for that one, and then if I can't get it,
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: I'll go one up, you know, sort of just a
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: little bit more. It's sort of felt a little bit
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: like tickets are on sale, now, go make a decision.
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: It's like some of us are some of us are ninny,
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: some of us like to plan anyway, Kathy, you take
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: it off of that too, because I'll pass it.
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: I've got a list bigger than lose Ellis's rageous.
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: You know, I would have quick no dribble recommends, And
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: this one is for Sydney siders in a West Optical
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: in Summer Hill. Currently, I am wearing bifocal contact lenses
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: for the first time. Got me into those and given
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: me a try. But you know, often you go looking
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: at glasses and it's like I feel like I've got
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: It's like I've had the same haircut for forty years,
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: but I've got the same basically the same frames for years.
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: This place absolutely full of beautiful designs and great service.
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: Go and see Brad and Caroline at Inner West Optical
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: in some Hill, independently owned, so they've paid me nothing
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: to do this. I just it was an excellent customer
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: service experience. So I thought, well, I'm going to recommend
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: that people go to in a.
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: Westop and you can see straight.
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: Well, no, I'm struggling a little bit with these bifocal
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: contact lenses, the optometrist said. I have to try to
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: get used to them. He said, there will be, and
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: he said, I've got to wear them every day for
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: sort of he said, five or six days in a row.
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: Don't do every second day because you're basically you're retraining
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: your brain, but your eyes are doing different things at
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: the same time, and it's an incredible thing. Our brain.
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: It's just well it So I'll report, but I don't
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: know it's it's I don't know that the contact lenses
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: are necessarily for me, but we'll see how it goes.
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: Yes, O carry, Hey, I've got no dribble recommends Malinterenet's back.
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: Can you say no delay?
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's great.
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's not it. But I'm excited that.
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: Maintain drible recommends having good internet.
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: Yes exactly. I watched ET last night with my son
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: and there's it was. I recommend going back to watch it.
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: It's a great little movie. Obviously like one awards and stuff.
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: It was such a nice movie to see a little
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: boy be the lead and to be really soft and
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: loving the culturing and caring, which I really liked. But
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: I did wonder about the eighties parenting. You know, the
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: kids were out all night and chasing around extraterrestrials and
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: ET was drinking beer and the mum picked up the
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: beer can, like, oh, yes, there's empty beer cans floating
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: around my floor. And I think I might my recommendation
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: might be not just watching yout but maybe a turn
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: to more eighties style parenting when we really don't know
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: what your kids are up to. It seemed to work
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: out well, it was fine.
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, people will report to me if it's bad enough, right.
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: When this chat when we're away, Like, what's made us
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: so cautious about everything? When back in the day your
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: parents feel like they did not care, but we didn't know.
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: What's made us cautious is because the ship that we
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: used to get up to. You know, if you let
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: your kids go free range, I doing exactly what you
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: used to do, Catherine out.
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: So what's made us more cautious is also the availability
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: of information about bad stuff that happens. And my friend
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: who is in like a risk assessment and the light
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: she works with companies on their risks, she said, we
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: are no more inherently dangerous now than we were forty
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: years ago as a society. It's just we've got so
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: much more awareness of these problems so things that are
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: bad and make the news are inherently newsworthy, and the
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: reason they're on the news is because they are unusual.
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: But we hear so much about it that we think
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: everything outside one meter from my hand is dangerous for
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: my child. So we've just we're getting bombarded by so
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: much information and traumatic information too, that people are becoming
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: more fearful. You know. We know so many ways for
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: our children to be hurt or to die now, and
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: it's not like we didn't know that in the past,
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: but it wasn't as much in people's faces. So yeah,
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: So part of it is just actually about, you know,
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: trying to keep that concept in your head that if
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: you've heard about something on the news, it's because it's
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: newsworth it's because it's unusual, therefore it is unlikely to happen,
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: and balancing that risk with, you know, getting your kids
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: learning how to take reasonable risks, getting them to feel
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: a little bit uncomfortable but do something anyway, and then
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: feel really proud of themselves that they have done it.
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: My daughter's on a bus today with a friend to
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: a shopping center. I cannot tell you how many updates
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: I've had text and it's like, great, that's good. I'm happy.
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: That's what she needs is to kind of keep reinforcing
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: to herself that look what we're doing, we're doing a
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: good job. And yeah, so I think that's wonderful. I
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: saw The Odyssey at the cinema.
• 39:17
  Speaker 3: Did you love it?
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: I loved it. Have you seen it?
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: No? But can I ask you? Would you take your
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: children to see it? Like a ten year old boy?
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Look, it's violent. There's quite a lot of violence
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: in it. But I think that they are you know,
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: they see quite a lot of that. Anyway, it was
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: such a great story, which is like, duh, that's why
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: it's you know, two and a half thousand years old.
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: Were still talking about it. Is because it's a great story.
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: But I didn't really know an enormous amount about Greek
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: mythology or the story of the Odyssey beforehand. That didn't matter,
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: Like the movie is so well done, and I love
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: a Christopher Nolan movie, but I was happy that this
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: one wasn't one. At the end, I had to go,
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: all right, what the hell just happened? Like I understood it.
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: It was sensational and we went to went back to
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: the Hayden r film, and I went and saw The Devil.
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: We was Prata too on our fabulous day and it
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: was in that big cinema again with the huge screen,
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: and that was it was. It was so great. I
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: usually have a little bit of a snooze in a movie.
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: Not one second was I thinking, well, I would have
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: a snooze in this movie. It was fabulous.
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: Wow, that's a no dribble recommend.
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: That is a no driblet She stayed away, all right,
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: So I've got to go and pack and go to
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: my high school reunion. Wait to hear see what happens
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: about old grudges that I have no idea that I'm
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: in the middle of apparently, but yeah, that'll be fun.
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: What are you up to this weekend?
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: Oh, I'm doing games. I'm watching Australia play Tonga and
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: then England.
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: So what time do you have to do these things?
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: My call time for Saturday Sunday is reasonable.
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: It's eight pm and then you'll be out of there
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: at about one am.
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: You think, oh, no, it's not too bad. I think
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: it's like the Volotta an hour and a half of
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: the games once we kick off, so it doesn't get
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: brutal until the following Friday where it's a midnight call time.
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, well we appreciate you.
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you would be good, Liz.
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: What's on this weekend?
• 41:14
  Speaker 3: Oh look, I'll just be watching lots of netball. Are
• 41:17
  Speaker 3: very late hour playing netball, coaching netball. Big weekend, that
• 41:20
  Speaker 3: the end of netball.

• 41:38
  Speaker 1: Okay, be honest. Did you wear that flower tracksuit when
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: you weren't supposed to all the time?
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: The prop I reckon while she wouldn't have because.
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: It was white.
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: It was white?
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, why why did they do so?
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: That's probably why they said do not wear it until
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: the medals, because it then Liz would
