  Speaker 1: Hi, and welcome to No Dribble, the podcast where we
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: talk about netball. We talk about so much more. And oh,
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: Catherine's finally off the plane, but she couldn't join me
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: in the studio today. So I'm here on my lonesome.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: I'm Carolyn Swindell.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: I'm Cox, I'm Liz Allis.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: Look.
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: The reason I wasn't was because I heard a rumor
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: that the league is opening up to.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: A couple more teams.
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: So I thought I'll go to the Gold Coast and
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: see if I can get one up and running, and
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: then I'm gonna move there.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: As the head coach.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, there is there's a scoop. You heard
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: it here first.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: That doesn't suit me at all, Catherine, No, I know
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: you can come a visit.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: Suits me fine, My bestie live up the ride. I'll
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: be very happy about that.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: I don't think there'll be a few winners.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I mean, I don't know how you go coaching,
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: but anyway, we'd see.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: Hey, it's exciting. He so, Liz. And the last thing
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: I read was that it's also then opened up to
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: New Zealand.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, basically the EOI has gone out and yeah,
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: and that's essentially all it is. It's an expression of interest.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: So it's really interesting to see the things that are
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: popping up. So I saw Netball Tazzy have put their
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: hand up and said that they'll be submitting an EOI,
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: so yeah, it's good. There's lots of chat around about
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: what's possible and it's really just it'd be great to
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: see what interest series and how it comes back.
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: Can I ask a question then, given the chat about
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: News Night being up to New Zealand, does that mean
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: it's opened up to other countries.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: Well, it's just an EOI right, So it's not like
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: a like anyone can can take the EOI information and
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: lodge an expression of interest and then there's a firm
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: that Netball Australia working with and they will go through
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: those and sort of work out and provide some advice
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: on who how why. So I mean anyone can get
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: an AI. So that's it's still like it's not just
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: gonna be a bit careful, right, It's an EOI and
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: we've just astray have just opened it. So management has said, yeah,
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: anyone can take the information, the documentation and can lodge
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: an expression of interest and then it's up to up
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: to Netball Australia to look through and go okay, Well,
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: would management recommend that there is a team from New
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: Zealand or England or Singapore or whatever like, wherever the
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: interests might come from, or would Super Netball be best
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: served by having a team in Alice Springs or Tasmania
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: or wherever. Right, So it just depends where the expressions
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: of interest come from. So it's really open because it
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: really is to see what's out there and what's available.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: And I guess that if West Coast fever, have siug
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: Audians talked us about their travel schedule when they've got
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: to when they went to the Sunshine Coast last year,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: if they've got to get to England or Jamaica, it's
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: going to make for a tough season, isn't it.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: So I wasn't thinking that far away, but certainly the
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: Singapore's and though you know Barley might need to host
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: a netball team, I'm pretty sure we can go over
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: there and help them out.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: Well, tell you how about an Ireland. I am waiting
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: to here with a Hamilton Island again an expression of interest.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: Get on board the ham Island train, come on. But
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: that's like this is only part of huge stuff coming
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: down and at Australia last week, like the ten Year Plan, Liz.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the ten Year Strategic Plan was launched. Catherine was there.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: We went to the Governor General's house at Admiralty House,
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: which was just amazing.
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: She's a rock star, Yeah she is.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: And our friend Katherine may Or may not have taken
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: a photo of the label on Sam's on her Excellency
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: the Governor General suit because she she would like today
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: where she gets her suits made. So I was sitting
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: there doing all the greetings, right, So the Governor General
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: and I are standing at the door of Admiralty House
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: greeting the guests as they came in, and I should
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: have seen it coming. Cox is like, where do you
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: get your suits from? Who makes them? Can I take
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: if I was a label? Oh my god, discovering launch
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: there's always one. And then I made the mistake of
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: entrusting my child to so anyway, my daughter everyle was there.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: So I don't know what Catherine taught her, but she's
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: come home and she's been very naughty since. So no,
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: not really, that's exactly what I taught her. Yeah, So
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: launching the strategic Plan was really exciting. There's a lot
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: of work that's gone into it and it really just
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: sets out a bit of a roadmap for the next
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: ten years. And as you know, awful lot can change
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: in ten years. But I think part of what you
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: want to do as a governing body is to talk
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: to people about where you want to get to.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: So you will very good. You have been busy, Catherine.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: I've been worried about you in the past week though,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: I know that Black Friday sales are a very risky
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: time for you and your home finances. How'd you go?
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: Did you play one of their governor General suits? No,
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: I haven't. I haven't done that yet. I did google
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: them and have a look.
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: They're quite expensive, so I'm not sure that that will
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: ever happen, but they are divine. Joh, what now that
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: you say it, I don't think I've bought a single
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: thing what not?
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: This week. I have gone early. You know this.
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: The Black Friday sales doesn't seem to be on Black
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: Friday on one particular day. It seems to go for
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: a couple of weeks now. But no, I'm disappointed in myself.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Have you two?
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I've gone hard I've done most of my Christmas shopping.
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: Oh have you smart?
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: Do you have a deal a list or do you
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: just write stuff down when people say.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: Oh, I really like one of those Are you one
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: of those people? Or do you? What do you do
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: with his shopping?
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: But I ring my sister and say what do you want?
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: She tells me. I ring my mom and say what
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: do you want? She tells me, I make my kids
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: write me a list, and I buy my husband whenever
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: I need. So he's getting whatever you need. He's getting
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: to Christmas.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: Holy love that.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: No, I do love anyway, So no, but I will
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: say I'm normally a bit hopeless. But my sister Kathleen
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: has whipped me into shape. And she's massive on the
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: black Fridays like she and she has a list in
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: her head. She knows what she wants to buy. So yeah,
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: she's been very good, saying to me, right, we're getting
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: this for mum? What do you think? I'm like, you
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: get whatever you're like? To tell me? How much are you?
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: She sent me luch. She was at my house last
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: night and she said, oh what about this for this person?
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: I'm like, I don't know, And she was already online
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: finding the link to the cheapest place. She's like, she's
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: a gun at that sort of stuff. So she just
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: she has whipped me into shape.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: This year, I might send her my list.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: I think, what do you do, swindle?
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: I did a couple of little things, but not terrifically much.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: I've still got vouchers that you made me, but we
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: didn't make me, but you encouraged me to buy when
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: we were out at a boozy lunch last year. I've
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: still got vouchers for that, for that restaurant.
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: And it's like, well, I got an email from them
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: for more vouchers and I was like, yeah, no, I
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: probably should spend the ones i've got first.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: Still getting through those. What I have done, though, and
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: I'm sure this is very relatable, is that I've had
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: some Team Moose surprise packages show up lately, and so
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: I thought that, you know this endless, bloody spinning wheel,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: do this, you get another discount. And I was just
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: trying to buy one thing, and then went through all
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: of that process, and I had the twenty eight things
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: that are free in my cart, and then I went
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: to pay for it, and it's like ninety dollars and
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: so well that's not free. I don't understand, so I
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: just clicked out of it. And then a couple of
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: weeks later I thought, oh, I haven't bought that thing,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: so I jumped online and bought it. And again, oh,
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: I should get some Christmas wrapping paper and the like.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: So a big parcel arrived, and clearly I hadn't clicked
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: out of it. I'd clicked pay on the first lot.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: So I am now flooded with Christmas wrapping paper and
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: bows and ribbons and things. And then last night, when
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: we got the Christmas tree out and all the Christmas decorations,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: I remembered that last year after Christmas, when we went
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: up to the shops, they were selling a whole lot
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: of the little bows and ribbons and Christmas wrapping paper
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: for a dollar. So we bought a bunch of it
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: and stored it away. So this is now the global
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: headquarters of festive wrapping paper, here in my house, and perfect.
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: I will do a week of shopping this week. I'll
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: jump on the tail end of there's the Black Friday sales,
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: and when I come over to the podcast with you
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: next week, we'll get the wrapping station out.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: Okay, up and running and you can help me. I
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: love this so much, I'll put a bottle of bubbles
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: in the fridge.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: Yes, And just like that, ladies and gentlemen, a Christmas
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: tradition was established.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: A Christmas tradition established. So love it. And you got
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: the tree up and you had your ribs. Finally the
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: thirtieth of November, Catherine, it's I'm impressed. Yeah, it's big
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: for abut it because we just had we would have
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: to wait another ten or twelve days to get to
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: get the kids over here in order to do it,
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: so we went early and it was, Yeah, it was.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: It was actually very emotional because I've told you about
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: how we have Christmas decorations for all of the family
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: members and this is the first time every year when
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: I put them away, I think, think, I don't know
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: what it's going to look like next year, but I
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: just hope everyone is still alive and well. And you know,
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: we lost Pete's dad a couple of months ago and
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: sort of pulling out this decoration and you know, you're
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: so busy at the time and dealing with funerals and
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: arrangements and things, and it was sort of the first
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: time that we just sort of sat with it and gone,
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: oh wow, this has happened. So it was really beautiful,
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: but also just tinged with the sadness that it never
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: has been before, but that we have known always would
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: come one day. So but yeah, it's a nice tradition.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: Nice to do it all together.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah that is lovely. No sign of a Christmas treet
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: my house.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: Team, Oh God, off for my second one up already.
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: I went to the Gold not in the same house.
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: I went to the Gold Coast and spewed Christmas all
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: over mom and Dad's house while I was up there.
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: Went to the giant Christmas store that's in the Gold
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: Coast that we go to every year, and every year
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: I walk in there with a plan, a hard stance
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: of not looking out with having bought any more Christmas crap.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: Why do you even go there kicking?
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: You've got You've got no idea how beautiful this story is.
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: I'm wore literally, I said to Harper maybe six times, God,
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: I love it in here, And she's like, Mama, I
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: know you already said that.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: It's just and it's aller kids running around and everyone's
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: in a good mood, and it's just Christmas shit everywhere
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: so it's so great.
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: It was chockers and I reckon. They had about twenty
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: staff just running ragged. So what did we get. We
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: got some like Christmas snow that you stick up on
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: your window. And we've got a couple of ornaments because
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: my dad's not well either, as you know, and we've
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: got off the back of your conversation about doing the
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: Christmas ornament, we got some of the clear ones you
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: can put a photo in. I'm going to put a
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: couple of photos of dad and stuff in some of
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: those ornaments. We found those up there, and you know,
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: just a Grinch one for father, for Harper's father, stuff
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: like that.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: Obviously he does not listen to the podcast.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: Nah, but she made me buy it.
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: I was like, okay, oh, I love it.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: That's good fun. One of my favorite Christmas traditions. We
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: bought this book again. It's something so you know, we've
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: talked about how everyone's willing to put the tree up,
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: but no bastards around to help pack everything away. So
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: this and this is the same thing. So we have
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: this book and I bought it in twenty fifteen, and
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: every year we write in it where we spent Christmas,
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: and we put photos and then everyone who we spent
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: Christmas with writes something in there about the year or
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: about Christmas or whatever they want. This year was like
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: the tenth of January and I'm shouting at people, we
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: cannot put this away until everyone has written in it.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: You will remember your festive spirit, and you will write
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: in this book. And I should have got two French ornaments. Yes,
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: but everyone's grateful that I make them do it, because
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: we now have this thing that goes back and you know,
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: when the kids could barely write, they were sort of
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: scratching stuff together. We pull together the letters to Santa
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: when we put out the snacks on Christmas. Even thing
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: we keep though, because it's nice that Santa doesn't take
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: those with him, I reckon so you can keep them yourself. Yeah,
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: so that's one of my favorite things. And looking back
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: through that, and we started that in twenty fifteen, so
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: that it seems like a minute and a half ago,
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: doesn't it. But it's a long time ago. That is
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: very cool though. I do like that. Maybe we should
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: start to oh you know, what did happen?
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: Though?
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: Speaking of stupid traditions, we got home from Queensland, the
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: elf was on my bed.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: Oh, stupid thing is back.
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: Oh just when you think.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: Surely the kids too old, he rocks up again.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: Ah, okay, there's anyone.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: Else, got to shelf him in the house. No, we
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: have snoop on the stoop. Oh, snoop dog, snoop dog.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: And it's the same thing. And this is quite funny.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: So my twelve year old daughter has decided that she
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: wants to really embrace the tradition this year, and every
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: night she wants to put together something for it is
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: a bit of a surprise. And this morning walked out
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: and there's a line of white powder and snoop sleeping
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: and beside it, and the note said, that was a
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: long walk. Now I need to sleep now. I think
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: she wants this to be snow, as in not the
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: stuff that people buy in very small blow bags at
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: great expense and illegally, but the stuff that falls from
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: the ground. But I think with snoop you can't really
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: be sure which one it is, can you. So I'll
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: be interesting to see where she takes this over the month.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: I thought he was going to be holding a joint,
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: but go with that, so it does.
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: So Cataine, do you not light the elf? On the shelf.
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: No, I don't trouble. No, he does make a bit
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: of a mess, although not too much. He's gotten a
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: little less problematic in recent years. But it's just he's
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: just a pain.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: Just you know. The best thing about him was COVID.
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: Do you remember everybody had had him in a bottle
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: for like he had to quarantine for two weeks of December.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: How gray was that. I'm just stuck here, Yeah, stuck
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: in a bottle, couldn't go anywhere, couldn't do anything. And
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: now here's the grinch. It is just a massive house.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: Do you do at least? Do you do elf on
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: the shelf?
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: Snoop on the stop? No, well, there's no surprise to anyone.
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: I just don't like the idea of having some other
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: being in the house spying on us, so it's a
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: bit weird. So no, we don't do off on the shelf.
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: There's no elf here. And the kids get lots of
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: elf action at school because the elks are very naughty
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: in the classroom. Yes, oh wow, okay, very naughty. So
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: I don't want that, yes exactly. So no, that that
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: has worked quite nicely. It's beginning to look alive like
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: Christmas every were you go.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: The teachers must be exhausted, like just limping through to
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: the end of the year.
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: I don't feel like there's that.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: Much learning going on. We got an email on Friday.
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: To say that Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday would be swim school.
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: My girl, nothing like no notice. Oh wow, I feel
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: like they've just got to this week and what.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: Can we do.
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: Can we.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: Imagine them ringing around got room for some classes? Yeah,
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: you do great, Okay, book it in. What do we
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: book in?
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: I don't know, we don't care book something. I reckon
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: Year six is a gap year, like, yes, you're finishing
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: primary school, you haven't yet started high school, so just
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: do nothing for a year other than have fun and
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: run charity stalls and things like that.
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: Well, we used to laugh at Evelyn when she was
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: in year six. I think there might have been like
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: three weeks in the whole year that she had a
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: full week at school because she just signed up for
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: every sport, so every week she was off playing another sport,
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: another gala day and we were just like, oh, well,
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: it's only six And then she at the end of
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: end of year six she was like, Okay, now I
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: know that for going into high school. They played this
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: video at their YU six grad and she was saying,
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: I know, going into high school, I can't play all
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: the sports. Next minute she's in year rate and she's
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: still playing all the sports. I don't know where she
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: got that idea from p S.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: She is so fit.
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: I gave her a hug when I saw her on Friday,
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: and well when was the dinner Monday night? And then
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: again on when we're at the Governor's house.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: She's so strong.
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: She's so strong, isn't she.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: Oh my goodness. I was like, everyone, you are so fit.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: I'm jealous.
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: She's got these little like this little six pack, and
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: I was like, I never, even when I was fit
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: on never had one of them.
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, she's fit.
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: And she's strong and she's builtn and so she's last duck. Yeah. Well,
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: she's starting an ENCs waights program this week. She's like,
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: I can't wait to get into wait. So I'm like, yeah, no,
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: the days where we used to wrestle when you're a
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: little kid, nice to win, they are officially over over.
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: Speaking of all the sport that she's doing, what did
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: you decide about your January holiday?
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: Does she know about Rugby camp.
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, she knows about Rugby camp, and she reluctantly agreed
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: to just come on holidays. So she's a wi Yeah.
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: So look, it was hard, right because we wanted it,
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: like you wanted to have all the opportunities, and she
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: loves rugby, absolutely loves it. But because we had booked
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: this quite some time ago and we've had such a
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: busy year, it was just really important that we learent
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: on this holiday. So she gets it, and she knows
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: also knows that, you know, there's a risk of injury,
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: and she didn't want to do that ahead of a
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: busy year coming up with the Academy and the Netball
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: Academy stuff, So she was like, So it was difficult,
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: and we gave her the option, but she voted the
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: way that I wanted her to vote, so we still
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: had a tazzy Yeah, that's.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: Great, And look, it's a good time of year to
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: get kids to make decisions if you have a strong
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: preference for which way you want them to go that
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: it's like, well, Christmas is coming up, obviously it's up
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: to you, but Santa is watching Santa is.
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: What They all changed their mind on Boxing Day.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: It's the golden ear of parenting, isn't it When they've
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: worked out that there might be some furfies going around
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: about the stories they've been told around Christmas for a
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: long time, but they also know it's in their best
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: interest to keep pretending. So I think that's the golden era.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: Hey talking about Evelyn being so fit. I just pulled
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: this up so you know, each week in the Every
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: Fortnight in our Notdriable Facebook group, I asked people to
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: tell us about their weekly wins. We've got some pretty
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: amazing physical feats that have been going on. There's a
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: lot of extraordinary stuff going on. Jonathan Kelly had his
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: first gym session back after a moniscous knee surgery this week.
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: That is some world.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: I'm Jonathan close to my heart, Jonathan. But Julia Carrott
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: now this. I met Julia in our Development Coach netbook
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: course earlier this year, and then her under elevens came
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: up against my under elevens, and we all know how
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: my under elevens went. HER's did much better. She finished
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: the Ultra Trail Cozy fifty, her first marathon and first
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: Ultra marathon on the same day, and she says that
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: what just got her through many a long training run
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: in the leader. So she's run fifty kilometers is what
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: I'm reading from that. That is all my goodness.
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: I saw that. Oh no, I saw someone else did that.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: Sally said someone else did her thirty finished it after
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: dnfing last year. So that's amazing to Lisa, Lisa j
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: well done. But like, seriously, what like why drive that far?
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: Get it? Do you know exactly?
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: There's so many services that will take you in some
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: sort of transport. But the thing with that is that
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: blows my mind is you have to train for that
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: as well.
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: It's the commitment long before you smash yourself. No, I
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: think you should just do it. Catherine, run it cold.
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: You don't need to know. Can you imagine how that
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: would play out?
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: You want good footwear? You couldn't do it in heels.
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: It's not the olden days.
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I couldn't do it. No ever. BUTIOSCO too, like
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: it's going to be sort of undulating territory and oh
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: that's impressive stuff. Yeah, wow, impressive, but also zero appeal
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: for me.
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: But I really yeah, I don't think they're taking the
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: chairlifts for the first part, which is what I do
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: last you and I don't think I am from it.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: Is a great one. You know the people who climb
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: all seven peaks on seven continents, and it's like, well,
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: I've walked to the top of Mount Kosiosco and I
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: think it is wheelchair accessible most of the way. So
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: it's like that's great. I'm very proud of that. But
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: I don't think we should be allowed to count Mount Kosiosco.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: And when people are saying they're doing the seven peaks
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: around the around the continents.
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: No way, you have to count Mount Koziosco.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: It's our Well I've done one, then yeah, there you
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: go see it, just one and done. What's the tallest
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: mountain in the South Wales.
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: Isn't Kaziosco the tall Well it would be, wouldn't I
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: My God's excellent, Ah, yes it would be.
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: Because it's a.
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: You're asking a trick question, then I'm going to say Cosiosco.
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: She's gonna go n plug Coosco Like well.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: The reason I was asking is because I went to
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: primary school in Queensland and I can tell you that
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: Mount Bartelfrea is the highest mountain in Queensland. It's like,
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: what useless information? And so in that moment, while focusing
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: on one set of useless information, I forgot that I
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: actually have one piece of useful information that I could
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: have not made myself look like a complete fool then.
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: But anyway, that's okay, you're still in a Christmas rib coma.
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: Clearly thank you. I appreciate your understanding. I feel like
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: I can relate to Kate Lindsay who said she didn't
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: toast her sandwich in clean wrap like she did last week.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: So you know she and I are sisters in incompetence.
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, I've told you guys this story, haven't
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: I about putting the sun You're on and me going,
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: did you take the clean rap off? Being a smart ass,
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: and she was like no, and there's still in the oven.
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: I was like, Jesus, I'm on the phone just waiting
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: for her to come back and go the house is
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: on fire. Anyway. Every time we give her a job now,
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: it's like, oh, I don't forget to take the clean
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: wrap off before you put it in the oven.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, sometimes they just need some gentle reminders and will
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: that be like forever?
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: Oh for her that is forever.
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we don't let things go in this household.
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, never. You never let anything go, particularly when
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: your kids are smart and they have had so much
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: hand over you that when you get that one bit
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: of hand, you're like, I will keep that, thank you.
• 22:42
  Speaker 5: I will play this back to you until the day forever. Yeah, forever, forever.
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: I would like to talk about Christmas for the entire episode,
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: but I feel like we should talk a bit about netball.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: I know we talked about netball at the beginning, but
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: the MAVs have got a coach, stand.
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: By goodness, and it's not somebody that I think majority
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: of people would have ever heard of.
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: I had to google him. Yep, it's a guy. Yeah,
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: there's a lot I love about this.
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: You know, it's not often at elite sport level you
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: get a coach in given a chance that is unknown
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: to a lot of people because firstly, the jobs don't
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: come up that often. But a lot of the time
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: they'll go searching for you know, there's a lot of
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: talk around Dame Nolene Tatua taking the job that didn't happen.
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: Obviously, this is exciting.
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: I'm so excited that we've finally got someone else coming
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: through that's done the hard work in the junior ranks
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: or the whatever ranks he has been coming through. And
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: this is Jered Murphy obviously, doctor Jared Murphy, Doctor Jered Murphy.
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: I hope you make them. I'll call him doctor.
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: Now his doctor is from actual doctor or I assumed
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: it was a PhD in sports science or but I
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: don't know.
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: Is someone googling that?
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: No, I'll google it. I'm googling it like a mad woman.
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: You're the around. So he has been with the Vixen's Academy,
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: hasn't he? So he's head coach of Geelong or something
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: and has been with the Vixen's Academy. So we got
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: this information like ten minutes before we came to air.
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: So apologies for the half aastness of it, but I
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: think if we did anything more, you guys would fall
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: off your seats in shock, and there'd be car accidents
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: across the country while people are listening and thinking, my god, No,
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: Dribble actually did some rigorous research for us.
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: So but on that, can I just do a little
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: shout out to the MAVs because, as you know, everybody,
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: we record on a Monday, and we dropped the app
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: on the Wednesday, and every single time there's a big announcement,
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: it happens on the Tuesday, and we've missed it and
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: we look stupid. But the MAVs we're happy to share
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: the information with us ahead of it being publicly released.
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: So by the time you guys hear it on Wednesday,
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: you already know. But we've been we've.
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: Been given an opportunity to chat about it. So that's nice, fabulous,
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: which is very nice. Yeah, how exciting.
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: He's an osteopath.
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: Oh god, that's going to be handy.
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: You're not very handy, you know, imagine that would Does
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: that make him well, I'm just looking at his Instagram handle,
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: Digital Executive High Performance Network coach osteopath. I think that's
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: officially a triple threat? Is it not?
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: Big time?
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: I've never been to an osteopath, but when I was
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: at UNI, my housemate went to an osteopath because she
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: had a sore jaw and he made her striped down
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: to her underwear and she was wearing a G string
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: and it's like, you know, how you have the first
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: G string you've ever bought in like five or six
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: years later, you go, this thing needs to go out now.
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: It's got no structural integrity. Anyway, he stood behind her
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: with his hands on her hip bones and made her
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: touch her toes. I know for her, I saw her
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: sore jaw. Came home. We said, you've just been totally scammed. Anyway,
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: the next time she went and saw him, she had
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: proper underpants on, but he didn't want to see her
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: naked again. She went back to this guy. I know.
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: I thought it was unusual too. I was remembering a
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: story about this woman yesterday and she she I haven't
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: seen her in a while. She's got gorgeous red hair.
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: And she was at my first wedding and my uncle
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: came over and he said to her, he's from New Zealand,
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: and he said, you look like that girl who's in
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: Canberra and.
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: Hand.
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: My friend was in wedding and in her very early thirties,
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: and she didn't love that. But I'd forgotten about that
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: until yesterday. And it's oh, actually, that's funny. Oh well,
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: that's the other side of Christmas, isn't it. All the
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: wellies come together and have some drinks in the gaps.
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: Then asked, oh, my goodness, the beauty of having a
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: small family.
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: Well anyway, doctor Jared Murphy, we wish you well. I'm
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: sure that that path was unusual and was not an
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: exemplar of the profession. But yeah, looking forward to seeing
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: what you're doing with the MAVs. Absolutely, it's very exciting.
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: Wells for excited, Welcome to the big time. And finally,
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: my god, how long you know it's been just it's
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: been torture actually waiting on this, hasn't it. It's been
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: such a Do you.
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: Know who the happiest person will be, I mean, other
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: than the MAVs obviously, Dan Ryan, it's got to mate.
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Do you think they'll talk shop don't? I don't
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: think so. I don't think they're sharing any secrets. It'll
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: be very interesting. I can't wait.
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: Just you know the personalities of these coaches, they're all
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: very different, aren't they. So this is exciting, exciting to
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: see what he's all about.
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's great to see like there's been a
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: bit of so much talk about who the MAVs were
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: going to appoint as their coach, so it's great that
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: that's locked in now and then they can everyone can
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: just get on with season next year.
• 28:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah, done, yep.
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: And Nicole Richardson stays as assistant coach too. Obviously we
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: knew she had signed, but that's exciting too. So at
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: least she's the stable one there been there can pass
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: on the words of wisdom about how the MAVs operate anymore.
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: I want to come in and shake it all up anyway, Yeah,
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: watched his space.
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: Hey, well they had a big recruitment, didn't they. So
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: it's going to be it's there's a whole lot of
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: people who don't know the way the MAVs have operated
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: in the past coming in, so it's quite that's quite
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: exciting for them.
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I reckon Shimona Jock is just like, she's
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: such a great lynch pin for them. I'm excited. I
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: didn't realize how tall she was actually until I stood
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: next to her recently and I was like, whoa eight,
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: I'm glad I'm retired and beat no wonder, you are outstanding.
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, she's an incredible and don't forget going to have
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: Riley Batcheldor out in the front of him.
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: Yes again, glad I'm retired and Jail Oh wow, even
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: more glad I'm retired. Oh and Kim Jenner and Tara Hirshliff. Yeah,
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: it's a good team.
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: That's a good time. But speaking of j LP, can
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: I share with you something quite shocking that has happened
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: to me this week. So we've got a digital photophone,
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: which is great because you get your photos off your
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: phone up on the wall. They flash up you're walking
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: past you. Oh, I still remember that, blah blahlah. It's great.
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: But in wanting to get my photos off my phone,
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: I'm sorting through them to try to upload them, and
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: I found photos of my very last game of netball,
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: which happened to be in twenty sixteen. I played wing Attack.
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: Oh, I know.
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: That's basically my whole personality.
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: Goss is a dirty secret.
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: Well, I kind of like you a little bit now, though.
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: Don't try and steal it to your end of the court, Catherine.
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: Now, did you forget about this or did you just
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: push it to the bay? I knew I'd played this game,
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: but I didn't. I didn't want to play. I had
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: friends pushing me into it, and I was terrified of
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: doing something to knees and ankles, and recent history has
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: shown me I had a good reason to be worried
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: about that. But so yeah, they just shoved me into
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: a position and we won eight two, which it's very
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: nice bait too. Yeah, how good is the feeling of
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: an assist?
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: Though?
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: You would have been buzzing when you came off, and
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: you have been this whole time, but you haven't confessed.
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: I was.
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: I was buzzing with not having hurt my knee, Lizzi Ellis,
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: were you just laughing at at our schoolline then no,
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: I was just confirming it.
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: I did I laugh. I did not laugh.
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: I had a little inner chuckle, but I.
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: Was like, sounds like sounds up the score from the
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: un to twelve's.
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: Well, you know, it was a Monday night indoor netball
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: for middle aged women. It could have been the mcquari
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: Dictionary word of the year six eleven.
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: Is that the word of the year that's not not?
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: Are you kidding? Yeah? A few years ago it was
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: milkshake duck?
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: What's that?
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: So? I think I can't remember, But it's something to
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: do with some crazy shit that you see on the
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: internet that doesn't exist in reality or something. I will
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: look that up for us. But it's like, I think
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: that the word of the year, the Macquarie word of
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: the year has jumped the shark.
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: Actually, yeah, I think six seven might be it. I
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: went and actually did a bit of googling, because I
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: do love a bit of Google, and going down a
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: rabbit hole about six seven, and I watched the video
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: that it's based on. Of you watch the video that
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: it sort of it's like a rap video.
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: No, I think you asked me this, and I did
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: commit to doing it, but then I thought, I don't care.
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: No, you don't. You don't need it.
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: We hand all it to Darryl.
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: I watched it anyway, you don't need it in your life.
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: It was a bit sort of made me think of
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: all the things that are bad in the world. So anyhow,
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: but six seven it's not even even a word. It
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: could be a phrase of the year, but it can't
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: be the word of the year.
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: But are your kids doing this? Anytime you see the
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: combination of numbers six seven that they exclude.
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: I do it past it.
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: But my daughter is obsessed with this, and I just
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: it makes me full of rage. No, you need to
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: you need to jump in front of it.
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: I do it in front of the kids, just to
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: horrify them, and it works a treaty. So I'm hoping
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: that will kind of maybe desensitize them a little bit,
• 32:02
  Speaker 3: or they're just going, oh, I can't I can't be
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: around that anymore.
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: It's around cool and they'll stop.
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: Hey now, Elizabeth, speaking of your googling skills, though, did
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: you find out what don't carry on like a pork
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: chop means? No?
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: I forgot.
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: Oh you're too busy. Why are you going to do
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: a whole.
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: Last week?
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: I knew that worry about Lisa's podcast beating us in
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: the ratings CAF.
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: I knew it.
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: Lasted for thirty seconds. It's coming.
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: It's an idea that I've got, all right, anyhow, let
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: me alone. Let me later on whe to invite you to,
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: you know, hang out at the Governor General's anymore.
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: You didn't invite me anyway. So I'm going to keep
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: harassing you about this lexicology college. Is that what it's called. No,
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: it doesn't matter nowography lexic con I don't know.
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: And see now I forget the word I. I don't
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: know if it's because because etymology. Because I figured out
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: that is true.
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: And that's Catherine's podcast. Yes, she's going to embrace them.
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: I'm going to talk all about the birds and the bees.
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: Everybody Catherine Bearzart in Sex.
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: Well, they will be in this podcast because it makes
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: it interesting. Hey, well you're you're a waste of space.
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: But what about you then, Swindell, because you had an
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: exciting week of hosting at the Comedy Club.
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: I had the greatest night on Saturday night at the
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: Sydney's Comedy Store. Were two sellout shows, just fantastic audiences.
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: And I've never I've never mceed there before. I've done
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: a lot of MCing, but I've never hosted the comedy
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: showcase there and it was great. It was it was
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: really fun. So but you know, I'm hanging out my
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: comedy boots for the year. It's very nice. I'm having
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: a lazy girl summer.
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: So what does it entail.
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: If you're hosting it? Is it literally like using all
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: the acts? So it's a long night forew.
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So first of all, so at the beginning of
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: the night, I will do at seven to ten minutes.
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: So my job is to warm the audience up. So
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: sometimes that means talking to them, getting them to engage,
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: and sometimes it's like this audience isn't there yet. I
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: have to just do some stand up and sort of
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: give them a bit of a show until they're ready,
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: and then I bring on each of the acts and
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: then they go on a break and then I do
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: the same thing and the second half to settle them
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: back down. So awesome. But the late show Saturday night
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: crowd at the Comedy Store in Sydney can be a
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: little bit challenging, so I've been there on some nights
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: when the staff have been clearing up people's vomit on
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: the middle of the floor because people go hard and
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: they like so so I was a bit nervous about that.
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: But they were very good, very exciting. So something you'd
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: want to do again. Oh for sure. Yeah, I loved it.
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: It was really was. It was very fun, So thank
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: you for asking. But yeah, that's it's actually a nice
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: one to finish the year with because it's not one
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: that yeah, it's not one that I had ever done before.
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: Well, we'll about to finish the year two, can you
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: believe it, with recording our last podcast, official podcast next week,
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: So dribblers, if there's anything that you actually want to
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: hear from us, you've got one more week to put
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: some requests in. Otherwise we're handing you over to our
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: summer series.
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: Well, I think they want to hear about that pork
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: chop thing from.
• 35:22
  Speaker 4: Liz Well, I certainly do.
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: I'm going to make it up.
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: I've just googled it and it's slightly i think racist
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: in origin. So maybe just go and google it yourself. Yeah,
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: maybe we can't talk about it.
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: Then, maybe we won't.
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: Maybe I'll find something else. I'll do some other etymology
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: for next week. She probably won't, of course, although I'm
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: not getting on a plane this week, I'm not getting
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: on it this week. I know.
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: God, that's exciting.
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: I know. So maybe next week I might have been
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: kicked out of the house because my family will be
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: sick of me. But we'll see.
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: So we capt deal with seven days a week of you. Yeah.
• 36:01
  Speaker 3: Well, when they get the caravan with you're in January,
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: that'll be the real time.
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: My god, that was so basic of me. Anyhow, I
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: love it. Yeah, it's coming, it's coming. I keep saying, well,
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: maybe it might be our last caravan holiday because you know,
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: kids are getting older and people are no our kids
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: wanted to camp with us until they were thirty. I thought,
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: it's not my kids, Oh wow.
• 36:21
  Speaker 4: It's you.
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: I've been talking for years about wanting to do a
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: camper van holiday with the children. But I feel like
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: that window has well and truly closed. Now, yeah it does, so.
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: You could probably take dot but I don't know about Lewis.
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know about Lewis. Now we look for
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: like we have to get a three bedroom place because
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: that just we're beyond the stage where they're happy to
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: bunk in together.
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: Fair enoughs all the things you have to think about.
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: Hey, Katrin, have you ever done a caravan holiday? I
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: can't see this is something that you. Oh, when we
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: were kids, we did every year and we loved it.
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: We used to go to Blue Lagoon caravan Park, which
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: is up about our Bay, was the best.
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: You're thinking of Bookshields, aren't you? Straight up? Blue Lagoon
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: not the same. It was unreal.
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: I really miss it. Actually, we're the greatest summers doing that.
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: But no, I haven't done it in a long time,
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: but not against it.
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: I remember in the early stages of VCRs my friend
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: had a Blue Lagoon on on VCR and this we
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: must mean we must have been in about year nine
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: or year ten or something, and we spent a long
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: time trying to pause on when they're going down the
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: water slide together to see if we could get a
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: shot of Christopher Atkins penis and we thought it was
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: the funniest thing anyone had ever done. And it takes
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: some skill to pause the DVD does sorry a VHS
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: at a single game and look it was it was
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: a little bit of a blue And then I've obviously
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: we ran out of attention for it long before we
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: managed to get the technical skills rob but we got
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: I think the closest frame we could get.
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: And it's like, oh, so we didn't have the invisible
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: you know, jocks on or whatever they do.
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: There was actual I don't know is the thing that
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: it wasn't such high definition video? Then, Man, this podcast
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: has taken a strange turn, hasn't it. No, But I'm
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: here for it.
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: I'm going to check out what sort of quality that
• 38:17
  Speaker 3: the updates they've done now hoble.
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: But speaking of handsome young men, what about Robert Irwin
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: winning Dancing with.
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: The Sunshine Coast Slightning's very own Robert Irwin. Yes, yes,
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: I think is how he likes to introduce it. Netpal's
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: own Robert Irwin.
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: I feel like he's going to be the president of
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: Australia soon.
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: He will be the president of the US at this
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: rate far out. How's his sister winning it too before
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: him though?
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: Ten years ago?
• 38:46
  Speaker 3: Family impressive award and he was impressive. If you watched
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: any of it or you saw any of the clips,
• 38:52
  Speaker 3: he can move.
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, what is he twenty one or twenty two or
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: something like? I mean, I remember being born, which is ridiculous,
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: but it's like, I just think this young man seems
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: to have this shit together, and it's like sure, like,
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: you know, if we're going to become a republic and
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: have a president, I'm probably happier for it to be
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: new than most other people.
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I vote for that.
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: Do we get to vote when we become a republic?
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: Well we tried and that failed, but I don't think
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: it's on the agenda much at the moment.
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: No, But do we get to vote for the president?
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: Or is it just someone?
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: This was the problem why they think that that referendum
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: didn't pass is that there wasn't enough clarity on what
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: the model is, and so people went, well, I'm going
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: to vote no if I don't understand it, which is
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: something we do. I feel like this is a great
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: seguey to some foolish words. Well, okay, have you got one? No,
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: well have you not got one? Well? You teaching how
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: to make yourself? I'm going to get the book out.
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: Oh no, I didn't need to put you under pressure.
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: Sorry about that, all right, foolish words, Catherine, I have
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: gone to the gone to our resource, which is foolish words,
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: the most stupid words ever spoken. This this tradition will
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: be retired at the end of this not durable year,
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: which is of course next week. Here we go. I
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: think this one is an entirely appropriate quote for us here.
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: If I look confused, it's because I'm thinking, and that
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: is Daniel al Man. So I feel like that's an
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: appropriate one.
• 40:17
  Speaker 4: For us today.
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: Yes, I agree much.
• 40:20
  Speaker 5: So.
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: I was thinking about Christmas cooking disasters, and you guys
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: might want to have a thing about it, whether you
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: have any next and tell us about it next week.
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: But we had a bunch of people over here one Christmas,
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: and it was one of those ones where people kept going,
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: I've got my dad in town and this person from overseas,
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: and so we had like twenty seven people here, half
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: of whom I knew before they arrived. It's like, great, yep,
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: bring them in more than merrier. Everyone's going to make contributions.
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: And my friend's father, who was very wealthy and very eccentric,
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: told us about a week in advance, I'm going to
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: send a goose and so, okay, don't really know what
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: to do with the goose. But anyway, this very lovely
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: David Jones Hamper arrived with a goose, and this was
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: on Christmas Eve, so we had to work out how
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: to cook it, and we didn't do a great job,
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: I've got to say, but the goose fat potatoes were sensational.
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: But in that I had this vision with all of
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: these different meats, I wanted a salad that had large
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: croutons in it, you know, tomatoes, basil and then red
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: onion and whatever. And I burnt the croutons three times.
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: You don't have to cook kroutons very long, but what
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: you do have to do is cook them before you've
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: been hitting the champagne for the morning. So I put
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: my load on and burnt them, and it's like, that's okay,
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: I've still got some sourday here. Put another load on immediately,
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: did exactly the same thing. Sort of just got distracted
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: and ninety seconds later turned back and went eh. And
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: then the third one and this was a this is
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: my world cup. It was my do or die moment.
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: It's like, you know, the croutons. The entire success of
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: the day is based on me being able to focus
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: on my oven for ninety seconds and not get distracted
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: and get the croutons out and happy store how much pressure, No,
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: I did it. I nailed it and nail rose to
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: the occasion. Well done you, which is probably why I
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: can play wing attack well wing defense.
• 42:11
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: This is true. The whole Christmas meets thing that was
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: turned into a bit of a farce, isn't it. Isn't
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: there a tra.
• 42:16
  Speaker 3: Ducan and they're all morphing into the same thing, the
• 42:20
  Speaker 3: stuff one in the other, and it's a good time
• 42:22
  Speaker 3: for everybody.
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: Ham and prawns at our house. Hamm and prawns.
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: That's it, simple, Ham and prawns, delicious. I wouldn't bother
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: going with the goose. I was telling this story to
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: a guy the other day, and he said, when he
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: was a kid, they used to go to his grandparents
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: place at Wagga and when he'd arrive there would be
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: like a goose running around the yard like chasing the kids,
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: and they waited until his dad arrived it. And then
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: next thing said, goose hanging on the hills hoist with
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: all the blood draining from it. So there's so much
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: trauma in that story. You are being chased by this
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: thing and then clearly it meets its end, and then
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: you're being asked to eat this this this product of
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: your nightmare.
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: There hopefully not on the same day you're going to
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: leave things hang and sit.
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: For you do have to leave things to hang for
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: quite a bit. I think Liz Ellis.
• 43:07
  Speaker 3: Does even name them so that you know everybody's well
• 43:10
  Speaker 3: aware where they're going to end up, don't you with
• 43:12
  Speaker 3: your pigs. Wasn't that Christmas lunch? We had Christmas one
• 43:16
  Speaker 3: and lunch was the other. They know what's coming, Yeah.
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: So don't get attached to them kids, is that I do?
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: But just know that they'll be tasty.
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: I admire that. I love eating meat, don't love knowing
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: where it came from.
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: Well, it actually makes you a bit more respectful of
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: the meat, and you don't waste it because you know
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: that an animal that was living in your farm lost
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: its life to feed you. So we are very respectful
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: of our meat.
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: Do you have the Queensland public education system in the
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: eighties though, when I was in year six, we went
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: on an excursion to an abatoir.
• 43:52
  Speaker 3: No, how many vegetarians coming back on that bus.
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: Was before that invented, you know. It was just the
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: carpark and ate our ham sandwiches. Everyone thought it was great.
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: Wow. Can you imagine? Yeah, you would not like that,
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: would not get past that, It would.
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: Not It would not be floated today, not by any means.
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: And I don't think there was any like. It wasn't
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: a kind of animal welfare message or sustainability. Someone's dad
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: worked there. Oh, I read to the abatra.
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: It's not a bad thing though, for kids to see
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: the food chain and understand things.
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, well I think that cheer note cheery enough, Katherine.
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to having you back in studio next
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: week and we will do some wrapping afterwards, and not
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: of the variety of the I'm down for that as well.
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that would be good.
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: Would your wife hang up my bumblebee? Yeah? Yeah, true?
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: Well yes, so I've I've kept a single decoration for
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: Catherine to hang on my Christmas tree. Per her request,
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: and in his buzzy Bee, which is a joss very familiar.
• 44:58
  Speaker 4: To key we kids.
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: So I've got a little one that I bought in
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: New Zealand, and I thought, given both of our birthplaces,
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: that that would be an appropriate one for you. And
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: I'd also like to hang out with Snoop when I come.
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: All right, well, we'll see Snoop might have had another
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: big night. We'll find him. He can come and have
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: a bubbles with us after. Very good. All right, jugglers,
• 45:18
