1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,640
Speaker 1: The city and with Kate Ritchie podcast.

2
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:10,800
Speaker 2: Oh it is good to see your face. This is exciting.

3
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 2: Could you imagine the moment Sunday Night Australia through to

4
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:19,000
Speaker 2: the final you performing beforehand.

5
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:21,800
Speaker 3: I had no idea it would become like this when

6
00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:25,200
Speaker 3: I was asked months ago. And I've been rehearsing for

7
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:27,920
Speaker 3: quite a while. We've been organizing the creative and what

8
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 3: we're going to do, and it just got so much

9
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:32,880
Speaker 3: bigger over the last few weeks.

10
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:36,000
Speaker 4: And this is global. This is going to go.

11
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:39,559
Speaker 5: You're global already. Anyway, have you met a few of

12
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:41,960
Speaker 5: the girls Stones? Do you know a few of the Matilda's?

13
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:43,920
Speaker 5: Tell us your relationship with them.

14
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 3: So we've been back and forth on socials and we

15
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 3: haven't actually met yet, which we are I'm hoping we do,

16
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 3: but we've just chatted online as it stands, throughout the

17
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 3: tournament and maybe just previously and actually.

18
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 1: For the last few years.

19
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:04,399
Speaker 3: Some of them have actually been following me and I

20
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 3: just found out recently because I had to message them

21
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:10,479
Speaker 3: just to say how good they did, because it turns

22
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 3: out a bit of a freak when it.

23
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:16,679
Speaker 1: Comes to and I realized they've messaged me before or whatever.

24
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 1: So now they're were best friends.

25
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 3: I know we haven't bet, but everyone says we're really

26
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:24,759
Speaker 3: similar and we could all be together and playing one day.

27
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, you're not alone, because it does feel like because

28
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:33,039
Speaker 6: of course there are people jumping on the bandwagon who'll

29
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 6: probably never even watched the girl a women's soccer game before.

30
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 4: But isn't it funny when you start.

31
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 7: Watching people on the telly meaning I could be quite good,

32
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 7: you know, because I'm a big fan of Ford.

33
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 4: She's my favorite. I know you had the company, She's

34
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 4: not a holding girl.

35
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 7: This is how freaky I'm I'm thinking the other day.

36
00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 7: You know what, I wonder if I can get like

37
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 7: Ford stickers, you know the cars, that I could put

38
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 7: them on my face and I could watch them when

39
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 7: I'm when I'm when I'm playing the game.

40
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 4: No, when I'm watching the game. You do you have

41
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 4: this whole fantasy.

42
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 7: Of like, let's be friends. The thing is for you? You

43
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 7: are you are friends? They are they supporting your performances?

44
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:20,239
Speaker 7: What have you been talking to them about in the

45
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 7: lead up?

46
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:21,919
Speaker 1: I'll tell you one thing.

47
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 3: Australia Tap tap. When the news broke yesterday that I

48
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 3: was performing the World Cup. Some of the girls did

49
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 3: message me and they said, so exciting that you're playing

50
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:39,799
Speaker 3: on Sunday. And then I said, be great if we're

51
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 3: both playing on Sunday. And then they said Domotones will

52
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 3: be playing.

53
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 2: That is huge. So you won't you won't let down

54
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,119
Speaker 2: your half of the bargain. I know that much. You're

55
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 2: the sure thing. So if all else fails, you're the

56
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 2: sure thing representing Australia.

57
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 3: You know what, Maybe maybe I don't want to. Maybe

58
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 3: I've known about this for such a long time. But

59
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 3: the other day, when the game was playing, I thought,

60
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 3: how embarrassing if I have to go on and promote

61
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 3: that I'm playing. If the Tillies lose and everyone goes,

62
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 3: you know what, we just don't even care anymore exactly,

63
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 3: And I'll be there on my own in the stadium

64
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:23,639
Speaker 3: with fifty dancers and choir members looking at each other

65
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:26,360
Speaker 3: and hoping someone's tuning in a house.

66
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 5: There's a bit of choreography. What else is going on

67
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 5: a light show? What else is happening?

68
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 3: I'll tell you one thing for free. I don't know

69
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 3: the choreography, and I won't be dancing.

70
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 5: You performed Spain Sweden. There was a big hub down

71
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 5: at Darling Harbor last night. Where the fans going the

72
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 5: Spanish fans going crazy when they won last night?

73
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 3: Times Well, here's the truth. I could lie, I'll tell

74
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 3: you the truth. I played it halftime and I just

75
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 3: got out of there. It was very busy, but when

76
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 3: I was coming into it, I could hear them screaming.

77
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 3: So so yes, they were going off, the Spanish fans.

78
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 1: I was there, I was in it. I was jumping

79
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 1: around with them.

80
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 5: If the girls win the World Cup final, you have

81
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 5: to do a sur favor. You've got to be down

82
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 5: in the change rooms celebrating with the girls. You have

83
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 5: to find your way down there.

84
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 3: Somehow I really wanted someone else to bring it up.

85
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:22,480
Speaker 3: I feel like I should be up. Can someone speak

86
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 3: to Elbow? He seems like a friendly guy. He seems

87
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 3: to have into the tillies, and I've checked Tony does

88
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 3: not have social media?

89
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 4: Looked for it.

90
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 5: Who would you get? Who's your first autograph? Tones Mary Fowler?

91
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 5: Who are you going, Hailey Razzo? Who's your favorite player

92
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 5: in the team?

93
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,039
Speaker 1: Isn't it different players from each game? I really do.

94
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 3: I love so but I will say Katrina Gory right now.

95
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 1: The first game straight out of the gate.

96
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,479
Speaker 3: Like I was just so in awe with like how

97
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:56,159
Speaker 3: she's like a really freak ball handler basketball up but

98
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 3: with soccer. Yeah, yeah, I love the way that in

99
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,040
Speaker 3: my head when I see them from the bird's eye

100
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:02,839
Speaker 3: anger and make oh, you're not going to get around

101
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 3: that person, and then they do and I don't get that.

102
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 1: Ben, and so I love it.

103
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 2: Growing up, were you was there a sport that you

104
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 2: loved or you played when you're at school?

105
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 1: I played a lot of basketball growing up.

106
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 2: Did you shoots, mate?

107
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 7: Yeah?

108
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,040
Speaker 1: Bit on the finger. It never helps the game.

109
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:21,279
Speaker 5: How could you go with that pressure of a penalty

110
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:25,720
Speaker 5: shootout times? If there were billions of people watching you

111
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,040
Speaker 5: on the screen. How do you think you would go

112
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 5: in that situation?

113
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 3: Tell you what, I don't think I do very well,

114
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 3: but I would try and manifest a victory for my girls.

115
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 3: But truth be told, I went down last night to

116
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 3: the FIFA place with you. You can have your own

117
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:44,799
Speaker 3: go at it. I looked at the goal and I thought,

118
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 3: not today.

119
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:52,920
Speaker 7: Maybe I am listening to you talking about the Matildas

120
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 7: and all of this lead up. I want to hear

121
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 7: a bit like Roy and HG. I want to hear

122
00:05:58,200 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 7: you commentation.

123
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:03,720
Speaker 4: I don't know. I don't know if she's going to

124
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:04,599
Speaker 4: get around.

125
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 1: These I guess, well she has.

126
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 4: I know I wouldn't have the rare.

127
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,719
Speaker 5: You would be absolutely annihilating the red.

128
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,279
Speaker 3: I'd be great with everyone, except until we get to

129
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:15,479
Speaker 3: the other team England.

130
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 1: I say, oh, and then number nineteen has the ball.

131
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 3: She's passing it over, and then we get out and

132
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:21,279
Speaker 3: get the ball back to ourselves, and then I'd be.

133
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:23,280
Speaker 1: Able to pick it up. Continue. I don't know the

134
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:24,239
Speaker 1: other girls names.

135
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 5: A couple of big announcements over the last couple of

136
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 5: days as well. You're supporting Pink on I tour as well.

137
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 1: Oh yes i am. I've been told and I'm very excited.

138
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:33,839
Speaker 1: I was meant to do it.

139
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:35,719
Speaker 3: That's been pushed back a little bit, so for the

140
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 3: last two years I thought I was supporting Pink, So

141
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:39,280
Speaker 3: I'm really glad that next year.

142
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 1: Ye yeah, it's in fair awesome.

143
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 2: That's going to be huge.

144
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:45,480
Speaker 5: You don't need to support anyone anymore, do you mean?

145
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:47,360
Speaker 5: People are supporting you now times?

146
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 3: But the thing is like these stadiums are going to

147
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 3: be and I've only played too I've played stadiums one

148
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 3: stadium before, which was for the AFL Grand Final, and

149
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 3: that is the biggest gig ever played when no one

150
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 3: bought a ticket to see me or see music, and

151
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 3: that was tough.

152
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 1: And then I've got this.

153
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 3: Now it feels a bit better because like it feels

154
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 3: a bit more inclusive and it's women's sport and so

155
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 3: this is cool. But it'd be really nice to play

156
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 3: to people that come to see music and and all that.

157
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 3: So I'm pretty stoked about it. And yeah, we'll see.

158
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 3: I was going to say to Pink's team, Look, you've

159
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,760
