00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:48,640
Speaker 1: love it when I get to come back.

18
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:52,240
Speaker 4: What training phase do we find you in? A you

19
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 4: hitting the gym, hitting the gym?

20
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 1: I thought about wearing a singlet in the snow, but

21
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 1: I mean as ten degrees leaving home. But yeah, it's

22
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 1: that time of year, hitting the gym, getting ready to

23
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 1: yeah for the season. Now, northern winter starts October first.

24
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 3: So when you're chasing the winters, competing, and then you

25
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 3: get your downtime. Are you a summer boy? Like do

26
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,679
Speaker 3: you love the beach or are you just a winter guy?

27
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 2: Through and through? Rolling today in shorts?

28
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 3: I know, and it's a it's a sprightly like six degrees.

29
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 1: To be honest, a lot of people just assume that

30
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 1: I'm used to the winter temps and they're like.

31
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 2: Oh, You're just used to this, aren't you.

32
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 1: And I'm like, really, because I'm wearing three layers of

33
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 1: thermals and a jacket and pants and boots, and I'm

34
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 1: usually pretty covered up from the weather. But I'm like

35
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 1: a spring guy spring sea. Yeah, I'm between seeds.

36
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 3: That's your party season.

37
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not full winter and I'm not full summer.

38
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 1: I'm just somewherre in the middle.

39
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 3: And congratulations you're a new dad. We met your your

40
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 3: beautiful wife Chloe recently, who is a singer and a songwriter.

41
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 3: She's amazing. How's life as busy parents with a little bubba?

42
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 2: It's fun.

43
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 1: I think the biggest thing I would reflect on or

44
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 1: I enjoy every day is obviously, yeah, making sure I

45
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 1: stay present and enjoy his company because he's like a

46
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: little time stamp. Every day you feel like he's got

47
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:18,920
Speaker 1: a new new tooth. He's almost almost eleven.

48
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 4: Start to put him on scar Yeah, I merse him

49
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:23,360
Speaker 4: in the in the white stuff.

50
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 1: So I did notice. Side track is when you're a parent,

51
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 1: you'd like use months in years old.

52
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:31,080
Speaker 2: You're like, yeah, he's eighteen months.

53
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 3: I'm like what he confuses me when people say like

54
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:35,799
Speaker 3: twenty one month and I'm.

55
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:40,360
Speaker 2: Like, I'm thirty one years and do it if we

56
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 2: just kept going like that.

57
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. But no, he hasn't been on the snow yet,

58
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 1: no snowboard or skis. But eventually we'll we'll get him

59
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:48,639
Speaker 1: up there for sure.

60
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 3: Now you've married into another very famous sporting family, and

61
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,919
Speaker 3: we're asking your wife about this because obviously you're fiercely

62
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 3: competitive when you compete. You've married into a family of

63
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 3: Formula one drivers. So your brother in law, Lance is

64
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 3: a Formula one driver. Do you I asked your wife

65
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 3: and she said no. And I find it hard to

66
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 3: believe that two athletes that are that competitive don't have

67
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,800
Speaker 3: like Christmas Day and get competitive over like backyard cricket or.

68
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:15,640
Speaker 4: Some table tennis.

69
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:16,360
Speaker 2: Yeah we do.

70
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 1: We probably should break Lance in a little bit with

71
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,359
Speaker 1: some backyard cricket. Let's get we need to get some

72
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:25,360
Speaker 1: more Aussie in the mix, some more Australian iconic moments.

73
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 1: But yeah, for sure, I reckon We intentionally don't do

74
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 1: it because we know that we would both probably end

75
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 1: up in some kind of argument.

76
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, in law.

77
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 1: Sport, but now we're obviously very competitive. You know, he's

78
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 1: a respectfully in his field and you know, Formula one

79
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 1: driver and I'm doing my things.

80
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 3: Do you ever get to give it a crack at

81
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 3: each other's sport though? Like, have you taken him out

82
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 3: on the snow? Or have you got to race a

83
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 3: car around a Formula one track yet?

84
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 1: I've driven some. I think we drove F three cars.

85
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 1: I'm not sure.

86
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 2: It is still pretty fast.

87
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're pretty quick, but I'm not sure the family

88
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 1: would trust me in a Formula one car. Also, yeah,

89
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 1: if I break the front wing, I'd probably be in

90
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 1: debt for the rest of my life. I'd be getting

91
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 1: a mortgage. But no, it's yeah, I mean it's it's

92
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 1: it is cool. I do enjoy it. I just like

93
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 1: the more so for me, other than trying to do

94
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 1: the sports, I enjoy watching the competitiveness.

95
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 4: Hey, I'm sorry about the bombers, but I saw on

96
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:27,039
Speaker 4: your socials you've been They put you to work at Tullermarine, Yes,

97
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 4: answering phones, gym classes for the rest of it.

98
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 1: They were in need of a new S and C coach.

99
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,600
Speaker 2: So I look at the rig.

100
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:40,479
Speaker 1: Reception. What else did I do? Got out in the ground,

101
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 1: did some laundry. I mean they smell like roses. Do

102
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:45,919
Speaker 1: you name it? I mean pretty much a jack of

103
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 1: all trades. Yeah, footy, the buck kind of stopped there.

104
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 1: I wasn't great at football, although when I was young,

105
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:55,839
Speaker 1: a lot of my coaches and family kind of made

106
00:04:55,839 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 1: me stop because when I was pursuing snowboarding, it's a.

107
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:01,840
Speaker 2: Little Ye, it's a little tough to do.

108
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 1: What.

109
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,160
Speaker 3: It's the same with footballers, right, Like none of them

110
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 3: can ever get to ski because they're all too scared

111
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 3: that they'll do a knee or hurt themselves. And it's

112
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:12,600
Speaker 3: funny watching footy players later in life try and learn

113
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:14,720
Speaker 3: to snowboard or ski because they're big units.

114
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 2: And yeah, it's hard, it falls hard.

115
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,039
Speaker 3: Yeah, the older you are, the harder it is to learn.

116
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:22,159
Speaker 4: R Hey, Scotty, I'm pumped as a member of the

Speaker 1: room and I've got to try and just take it

124
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 1: one bite at a time. That's how you eat an elephant.

125
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 1: But yeah, I think it's Yeah, it's exciting times, feeling good,
