  Speaker 1: You're listening to a DM podcast.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: We'll try to keep it as nice as we can,
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: but you might hear the occasional swear word in No Dribble.
• 0:07
  Speaker 3: Don't tell them.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: Hello and welcome to the very first episode of No Dribble.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: I am comedian and writer Carolyn Swindell, and full disclosure,
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: I sit on the shorter end of the average height
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: spectrum even for a wing defense. I'm a little on
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: the short side. That doesn't matter to my fellow No
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: Dribble hosts two absolute legends of the game of netball,
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: two women who were the Yin and the Yang of
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: the Diamonds for many years. A shooter who has scored
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: more than two thousand goals for Australia and a defender
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: who has struck fear into the hearts of many a
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: shooter over her fourteen year professional career. They both captain
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: the Australian Diamonds. They've got World Cup, Super Netbaar premierships
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: between them and they're here to shoot the breeze. But
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: No Dribble Hello cath Cox and Hello Liz Ellis.
• 0:59
  Speaker 4: Hello.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: I was so exciting though given like game day vibes again,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: I even had to pop out and do a nervous weed.
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: Before Oh, Carol Twindella, I want you for my permanent
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: hype girl. Can you just follow me around and say stuff?
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: Please?
• 1:12
  Speaker 5: Absolutely, I'll bring pom poms, yeah, you name it.
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: I need that. Actually this morning I need deoda and
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: a shower. So I was all excited about our first episode,
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: and I thought, right, I'll get off and I'll have
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: a shower and make myself look nice because you know
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: there's you know, I just want to impress you two
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: and everybody else. Anyway, my husband says to me, can
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: you help me move some cows this morning, please? Because
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: we've got cows on a few different profits.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: Do we need to establish that you live on a
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: farm otherwise that.
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: We're not sitting in suburbia? And he says, we don't
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: want to move some cows, and it means something different.
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: It's not a euphemism for anything other than do you
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: want to move cous So I'm like, okay, cool, we
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: got adding cows on one farm and I think there's
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: about nine of their car.
• 2:00
  Speaker 5: This sounds like a really shit mass question, doesn't.
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: It It is? But any who, well, here's the question
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: for you. If you try to move eighteen cows, one
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: of whom's just given birth and her hepo is two
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: days old, and try and move them, and you get
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: to you move seventeen down the road, and then there's
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: one cow and then seven calves who forgot to go
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: with their mothers. What does that do? The answer is
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: it blows out your bloody morning. So I stink. I'm
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: covered in cobwebs, and I'm covered in farmer's friends and
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: I don't quite know how I didn't get bitten by
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: snake running through all these great.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: Pat question though, more ely, have we got the babies
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: back to their mothers.
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: We've got all but one, oh so one that ran
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: the wrong way. No, and it was the biggest and
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: most healthiest one. So it decided it wanted to go
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: back to the place at last saw its mother. And
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: it's currently in a paddic by itself. But I just
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: said to Matthew, I've got to get back. I've got
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: to do no dribble. And here I am dribbling on
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: about my morning and the fact that I stink, and
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: thank god this is not a smelly smelling podcast.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: So but you're here with us now, and I am
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: halm enough to tell us about last week's exciting years.
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: Before I do. I actually reckon that we should explain
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: what this podcast is about. Think of it as your
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: netball adjacent podcast, right, So yeah, we'll talk about Neddie,
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: but we'll also chat about things from our lives as well,
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: like I don't know menopause, the odd story from the toolbus, COSSI,
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: and obviously cow wrangling.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Can I start with saying, Elizabeth, I mean, you'll obviously
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: tell us what it is, but the announcement, obviously everyone
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: will be across pretty much now, has been one of
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: the most exciting things for our sport because I appreciate
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: these people on the board that are appointed that are
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: incredibly capable people. They've got incredible knowledge they bring they
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: can do the job standing on the head, but we
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: don't know those people. So as a sport, when somebody
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: like you gets appointed to a position like that, I
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: think everybody breathes a collective sigh of relief and that
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: we know our sports in great hands because you know
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: how it works, you're passionate about it, and it honestly
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: was the most exciting news i'd heard.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: It is exciting, but we haven't actually said that news
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: is at the moment. So if there's anyone listening who
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: doesn't know Liz, tell us what happened last week?
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: All right, last week it was announced that I was
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: appointed to the board of Netball Australia.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: So I was so excited I couldn't even keep it in.
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: I know what I told Catherine. You can't say anything
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: because I was actually on holidays when they told me
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: that they were going to appoint me, and I didn't
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: want to be like sitting at praiser Isla with no service,
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: not being able to I don't know, do interviews or
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: talk to people or anything like that. So we heard
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: it off a few days. So I did tell Catherine.
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: I gave her a bit of a heads up, so
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: it was looks super exciting. I'm nervous because I have
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: been getting a lot of reactions like yours, Catherine, and
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: I don't want people to think that I can come
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: in and like I'm not the messiah. I'm not going
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: to fix everything.
• 4:54
  Speaker 5: You're just a very naughty boy.
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: I'm a very naughty girl. But I've got to stop that, apparently,
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: or do it. I receive my own home anyway, so
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: I really want to sort of make it very clear
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: that I am simply.
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: One of night.
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: I'm, you know, play a team sport. Netball the ultimate
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: team sport, so I'm one of nine. But I think
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: I bring something a little bit different to the board.
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: And having shared the State of the Game review back
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: in twenty twenty, and I was living with Catherine actually
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: for most of that period, so she saw how many
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: hours I was on meetings, glued to the computer. So
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: I've got to I feel like I've got a good
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: handle on the bones of the sport as a business.
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: I've got a good handle on I guess the pathways.
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: I have sat at that commentary level. I coach grassroots,
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: so I see what it's like, you know, every single
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: week from a grassroots point of view. I see what
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: you know, our local association's trying to do. My daughter
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: plays rep so I see the start of that talent pathway.
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: So I feel I've got I've got a really good
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: vertical understanding of the sport. But then also the business
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: of the sport. You know, I've got a background in broadcast.
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: I've spent time on the Train Sports Commission, so I
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: understand government. So hopefully I can bring all that to
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: be in this role and I feel like we've been
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: through such like you never waste a crisis, right, So
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: the last twelve months have been crisis after crisis, but
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: it gives us the opportunity to really spend a bit
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: of time as a board sort of really setting an
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: exciting path forward. And that's what I'm pumped about. I
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: think we've probably lost our way a little bit as
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: the leading voice for women in sport, or lead the
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: leading sport for Australian women, right because you know, the
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: women's cricket team have come along and they're you know,
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: they're hitting it out of the ballpark what I did there?
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: And you know the Matildas are here and they're kicking goals.
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: I should not be the comedian on this podcast. But
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: you know, there's a lot of competition now for the
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: hearts and minds of sports fans, particularly people who want
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: to watch women play sport, and then that has churned
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: also into a real competition for grassroots participants. Every other
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: sport is looking at our numbers and wanting a piece
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: of that action. So that crisis that we've had in
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: the last twelve to eight eight months I think can
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: be turned around into really positive work to really set
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: the sport as the leader for women in Australian.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: Sport QUESTIONALI Isabelle as for all of us in trouble.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: What does that look like then? From now?
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: What's the commitment When the commitment's already started. You know,
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: we're starting to get a head around the CEO role.
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: There's I think monthly meetings. I'm still trying to sort
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: of go over some old meeting notes and agendas so
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: I understand what the board is considered in the past.
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: At the moment, for me, it's really about meeting the
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: other board members. Obviously I know Money and Gerard because
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: her and I hope with teammates, and I've had a
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: little bit to do with a couple of the other
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: board members. But it's meeting them sort of sizing up
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: what they think and where they think the sport needs
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: to go. And it's also those relationships with broadcasts, with sponsors,
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: with member organizations, and it's also understanding where the rest
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: of the system think the sport can go. So I think,
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: to answer your question, it looks like a hell of
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: a lot of work over the next few months, but
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: I'm sort of confident that I've got a little bit
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: of a head start given my background, and put my
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: head down and my bum up. And if I look
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: really dazed in the next few sort of podcasts that
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: we do, there's a reason and right, because my head
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: will be full of all different things.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: Well, can you leave the cows alone for a while?
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: You prioritize your energy for us? Can I This may
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: seem a rude question, but I'm going to ask it anyway.
• 8:10
  Speaker 5: This is an unpaid session.
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well we get an honor areum. I think it's
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: a couple of thousand bucks a year, which right, as
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: you know, I have expensive tastes, so.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: But it is amazing to me that you know the
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: quality of people who will put their hands up for
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: these volunteer positions in boards for a lot of sports
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: around the country.
• 8:29
  Speaker 5: And I think it's amazing, and you know.
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: Thank you.
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but you know I'm doing it.
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: You do.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: I'll take the pressure off you though. Sorry, I did
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: put a lot. You've already got some coming from other
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: people as well. Just do you.
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: I will do my best, that's all we ask. And
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: I think everyone understands that my best involve is working
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: as hard as I possibly can to really make sure
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: that our sport gets to where it should be, both
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: in terms of its commercial growth, super netbaw grassroots, Like,
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: I'm so passionate about it. I'm so ready to get
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: in and make a difference. Yeah, it's exciting. I'm nervous.
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: I'm nervous. But I think if I had a boss once,
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: he said, if you're not nervous, you're not doing it properly,
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: like you should be nervous when you take on something
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: like this. Well, cheers to you. Lizzielis, Yeah, we're excitings team.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and we're here, very exciting news here if you need.
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: So.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: Dribbler's one thing you don't know is that there is
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: a long running debate between Liz and Kath and I
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: about who is the biggest fan of Suncorp Supernetwle, particularly
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: the Swifts, and I believe it is me because although
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: I have never played for the Swifts or haven't really
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: played for many teams since I was twelve, but I
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: think I'm the biggest fan because I'm the only one
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: who's actually paid money to go and see the Swifts,
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: and I do that consistently, and I love it and
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: it's a wonderful game. But I had some really interesting
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: experiences at the first Swift's home game, and I think
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: it's very It's great to be able to just sit
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: there and watch it. I'm loving at first of all, Liz,
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: you know, credit to you volunteering for the game, but
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: all of those volunteers who are out there with the
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: but the swiffers. So the girls go down on court,
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: there's a bit of sweat on court that's dangerous. Obviously,
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: the volunteer comes out with the little mop thing. I mean,
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: I don't know what I used to use. One that
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: was called AFO, Yeah, Sabco, right, yeah, yeah, but that
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: this might be another thrown back to the early two thousands,
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: but there was a brand called the Swiffer which was
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: exactly the same product as far as I can see.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: And to me, that is a match made in heaven
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: for a sponsorship for the new Southwest Swifts.
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: Don't know, I'm allersure to cleaning.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: But I'd like to see just the blokes doing the mops.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: I think it's a better message for the young women
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: in the audience there. And then the halftime entertainment. We've
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: got these young gymnasts who come out there. They're doing
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: a great job, but it's hard we get us to
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: applaud them when they haven't done anything yet. So they
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: come out and everyone clapping along and we're all sort
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: of trying, but it's like, you know, we're having a break.
• 10:48
  Speaker 5: We've been cheering our team and.
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: Whatever, and then these guys start doing some fabulous, amazing
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: feats of strength and gymnastics, and the MAVs come back
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: on court and clearly they've been told you can have
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: that FOD to warm up in.
• 11:00
  Speaker 5: They give zero shits about what's going.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: On, but at the halftime entertainment, they are focused on
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: warming up and getting back into the game, and it's
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: just it's very entertaining to not have a job at
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: a game of professional game of their form.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't know what that's like. I did love the
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: photo that you sent me after the game. It was
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: you doing a selfie with a glass of wine in
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: your hand. I can and me in the far far
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: background working. So there are some people having fun at that.
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: Ball, but I do I have a parenting dilemma on that.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: So I took my daughter, who is ten, and her
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: friend and my husband and I were much more into
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: the game than they were, and this is like going
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: to these games is great for the girls to exercise
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: a little bit of independence.
• 11:37
  Speaker 5: They can go out.
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: They go and get themselves a snack, they come back.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: It's like, look, this is an enclosed environment. I feel
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: fairly safe for you. Go away, come, come straight back
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: or whatever. But I'd really like, and I understand that
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: this is fraught with difficulty from a public policy perspective,
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: I'd really like to be able to send my daughter
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: to the bar with a note saying, give my daughter
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: another gin so I don't have to leave the game.
• 11:57
  Speaker 5: I promise it's for me.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: Second that, except again, I don't get to experience any
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: of that. How coulds all the outside activation stuff you
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: go there early and get amongst all of that.
• 12:07
  Speaker 5: Well, didn't go early enough this time. I listen. Brianie
• 12:10
  Speaker 5: Ankle said, the game doesn't start at four o'clock.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: It starts half an hour earlier when we start warming up,
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: and we want you all there so you know, like
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: I go follow her into battle. We were there on
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: time for that, but we were there half an hour
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: before that, and the girls wanted to get in the haircue.
• 12:23
  Speaker 5: It's like, you're going to be here for an hour
• 12:24
  Speaker 5: and a half and.
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: So yeah, you got to get there early because everybody
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: is getting amongst it. And it was just one of
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: those beautiful days. So I lay on the fake grass
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: drinking my can of gin, thinking life's pretty good.
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and then you've got a game and netball thrown
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: in as a bonut, so good? Do you know? I
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: did read somewhere that there is moves of foot. I
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: don't know where it is, like somewhere around the world
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: that drinks and food will start to be delivered to
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: sporting patrons by drone. So you can send God a
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: little message and you get your stuff delivered by a drone.
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: How cool would that be in an indoor venue.
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: That's I don't want that waffle pop being hoverty and
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: dropping in my lap and it's up for the girl
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: behind me.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: Then it just needs a little dump truck on the
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: back of it. You just open your mouth and it
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: shoots straight down while it's hovering above your head, and
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: then we don't have to do anything.
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: But the problem is that everyone knows how much you drink.
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: When they're like, they'd be like, oh, that lady's getting
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: another G and T delivered, No wonder she's cheering?
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: Are you just are you laughing because you're having the
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: same flashback as meals. We're just talking about halftime entertainment.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: So I think for forever, as long as entertainment's mentioned
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: with the netball game in it, this is going to
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: come to mind. We're in South Africa. This is I
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: don't know what fifteen years ago, twenty years ago, it
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: was it?
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: Do you know what?
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: It was?
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: Early two thousands when we first toured there was it?
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: It might have been two thousand, yeah.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: But they have obviously before any test match they played
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: the national anthems of both countries. So this particular day
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: we rock up, our tape doesn't work. It was at
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: tape then people there's probably a lot of kids listening
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: to no idea.
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: What Yeah, it's like the little thing and there's a
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: ribbon that goes around and around and it plays a music.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: They know what it tape is, Google it anyway, So
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: ours wasn't working. So next minute our manager suggests that
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: a big good idea if we all stand in a
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: half circle and have Janine Ilic, who is one of
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: our better singers, in the front, and will sing the
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: anthem kill Me Now is exactly what I was thinking.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: So we all did that? Did you actually sing it?
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: I don't enough, I ask you my mind.
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: I love a bit of singing outlaud I've got the
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: world's worst voice, but I love a bit of singing outland.
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: Thank god for Janine though, because if it hadn't been
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: the microphone hadn't been on any other of us, we're appalling,
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: Like there's a reason were passing catch?
• 14:44
  Speaker 5: So what does that do? From a sort of mental perspective.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: Work game of my life is what it does. I
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: was so humiliated.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: But we want you to go out and do what
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: you're best at, but first we want you to go
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: out and do something that makes you want to crawl
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: out of your skin.
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: Well, Janine loved it though, Like she's a singer, she's
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: got a great voice. Her and Shelly O'Donnell the two best.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: I would love that opportunity, but I can totally see
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: why it is.
• 15:09
  Speaker 5: It is cringe worthy.
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: Can you imagine that being in Like you know that
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: the selectors always have this matrix of what they're trying
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: to achieve with the team.
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: Trix is seeing the National Emergency Skills required.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: Because we always talk about the what ifs when we
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: go on tour, So what if the bus breaks down
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: on the way to the venue, what if you don't
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: get your full warm up? You know, all this sort
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: of things, So you go in planned. No, I don't
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: think we'd ever discuss what if the tape doesn't work
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: and you have to stand there and sing the anthem?
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: If we ticked it off and hopefully it's never going
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: to happen again.
• 15:42
  Speaker 5: Did you have to do both verses?
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: No? But we also had a manager that was so
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: so strict about us knowing both because sometimes when you're
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: again in a random country, they will play the second
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: And she said, there's nothing.
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: To be beneath your radiance. Guys, that's right. See you
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: know it, Liz, Do you know it?
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah? I do, but I let it. I had to
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: learn it the hard way. Well, after having a bad experience.
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: I went to a school once and I was up
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: the front of a special guest and so we all
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: sing the national anthe and I was singing the way
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: and the kids all start singing the second verse and
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: they're all looking at me, and I'm like, I went
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: away and learned the second verse so I'd never get
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: caught out by kids.
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: And it hasn't happened again since, has it?
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: No, So, dribblers, I had the most bizarre thing happened
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: to me this week. This time last year, I was
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: in the jungle. As you know, I'm not the Queen
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: of the Jungle anymore, but I was in the jungle
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: in Africa. And when we oh, thanks, so there you go, Catherine,
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: she's put my ties and then she just stuck.
• 16:45
  Speaker 5: Out Diana's thing. I'll never be queen, but I would
• 16:48
  Speaker 5: like to be the queen of people's hearts. That's you, now, Liz.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, God, that's a stretch.
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: She didn't get into the media and look like you know,
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: she'd been chasing cows all morning, which is exactly what
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: I have. But so last year we'd just just before
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: we went into the jungle, it was my little boy's birthday,
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: and I thought, right, while I'm in the jungle, it'll
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: be his birthday. So I'm going to buy a card
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: to send to him. And I bought a card on
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: the way on the planet, like at the airport on
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: the way over. Write it out, dear Roson, Happy birthdays
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: number seven. And when I was going from Johannaesburg Airport
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: to Herdspirit I said to my chaperone, can I please
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: just go duck into this post office? And she was like, oh,
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: you can. What do you need to do? So I
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: need to post this card to my little boy, and
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: she said, oh, the South African postal system isn't very good.
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: It might take a while. I said, that's okay. It's
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: not his birthday for like three weeks, so that's perfect.
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: So it takes a little bit of time, it'll be great.
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: So I said it off and didn't think anything about it.
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: And then, you know, after not seeing them for months,
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: I got home and we sort of all got on
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: with our lives and I totally forgot about it. Anyway,
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: this year, on his eighth birthday, I was away that night.
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: I was there in the morning, and I was away
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: that night working.
• 18:02
  Speaker 5: It's a pattern here.
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah, no, don't tell my children. And I got home
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: the next day and he comes up to me. He goes, Mummy,
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: why did you buy me a card for my seventh birthday?
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: Don't you know eight? I couldn't figure out like it.
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: I was like, what do you what do you mean?
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: I know it's your eighth birthday. He was like, you
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: think it's my seventh birthday, and obviously I hadn't been
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: there for his birthday night, and so this is like
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: all cascading. He thinks that I think he's seven and
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: not eight. I was like, I couldn't get to the
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: bottom of it.
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: I said, what do you mean?
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: So he ran and got brings out this tatty envelope
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: with a card and pulls it out and it's got
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: seven And I read it and I was like, when
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: did this come? He said it came yesterday and he
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: had fail and it came on his eighth birthday. How
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: amazing is that? So the South African Postal Service they
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: must have known.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: Three weeks was enough time.
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: But what an amazing coincidence, right? And then look at
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: the envelope and the end has been slashed and then
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: stuck back up again. So I think they did check
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: to see if there was any cash in it.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, had they noted come from you, Liz, though, they
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: wouldn't have bothered. It's not like you're going to put
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: cash in anything, all.
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: Right, dribblers. This segment is called wind Beneath My Wings,
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: and you can sing it.
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: Must have been cold there in my shadow. It is
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: fucking cold in your shadows. You two cast very long shadows.
• 19:25
  Speaker 5: Okay, Dribbler.
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: Is something that we want to do is start to
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: acknowledge the legends of our game, the unsung heroes who
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: are out there every Saturday morning getting things set up
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: for our players.
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, this is very dear to our hearts, isn't it,
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: Because it's about all the people that make the game ticket,
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: that grassroots level, and all the other volunteers. To be honest,
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: there's so many of them that keep our sport alive.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: So if you want to give them a shout out,
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: jump on our social media Instagram. It's no underscore dribble,
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: underscore podcasts, and let us know who they are so
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: we can give them some love.
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: Are we going to give them something else? Though?
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: What should we come up with to give them?
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: Cash in a card, Cash.
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: In a card, Liz, send it to you.
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: I'll go to South Africa and sometime in twenty twenty six.
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: Let's put a pin in that we do need to
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: send something other than just our love to these people
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: who are the wind beneath our wings.
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: I'd say spend wine, but we'd give that job to
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: Catherine and that wouldn't get there either.
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: No.
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not the safety one in between. To make
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: sure that gets.
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: A leave that with us dribblers, we're going to come
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: up with something. So if you are nominated for wind
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: Beneath our Wings, be rest assured you will receive something
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: of fairly limited value but high rarity from us at
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: some stage. And I have a nomination here for this
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: week's Wind Beneath our Wings and it comes from Amanda
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: Spicer in the Orange Netball Association. She would like to
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: nominate Cassie White, who's the thirteen's rep team manager and
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: a member of the Orange Netball Association Forever in a day.
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: Amanda says, she coached my girls in the Saturday comp
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: for the last four years, team undefeated for four years
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: in a row. All of her players have made either
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: the Orange webside or the development team. He goes above
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: and beyond, bringing this team tent to our Carnival's, spare dresses,
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: additional kids, water sacks, you name it. She is your
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: ultimate wing woman. So I think that sounds like someone
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: who deserves to be nominated for Win Beneath our Wings.
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: And so we would like to say, eat Cassie White,
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: we pay tribute to you. Thank you for what you
