Nextly we've got the big Man himself sent 13 00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:32,440 Speaker 1: to joining us before eight thirty. I'm going to ask 14 00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:34,840 Speaker 1: whether he was feeling the heat as well, because yeah, 15 00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:36,120 Speaker 1: I did have a lot of comments that must have 16 00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:38,640 Speaker 1: been hot in that thing, but he would have really 17 00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:41,680 Speaker 1: been feeling the heat. I would have thought, pain Were 18 00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:43,320 Speaker 1: you brave enough to line up for the face painter? 19 00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:46,960 Speaker 2: No, not there, but my daughter lined up yesterday at 20 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:51,440 Speaker 2: the Long Beach Challenge, so she was, yeah, face painted 21 00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:52,360 Speaker 2: at the Long Beach Challenges. 22 00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:54,880 Speaker 1: Oh well played. Well, gee, that's a massive weekend for 23 00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:56,840 Speaker 1: you guys, because when you had Taylor Swift last night. 24 00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:58,800 Speaker 2: Too, I know, I know, I'm still feeling it to 25 00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:02,360 Speaker 2: be honestly, not the swift disclaimer, but the tribute show 26 00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:04,200 Speaker 2: that was at the event center wasn't good. Yeah, it 27 00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:06,720 Speaker 2: was really cool. Yeah no, And by the end of 28 00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:08,319 Speaker 2: it there was quite a number of people up and 29 00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:10,920 Speaker 2: dancing down by the stage and stuff. And yet, look, 30 00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:13,120 Speaker 2: it was a great event. Yeah, never been to a 31 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:16,679 Speaker 2: tribute concert before. But the reality of us getting Taylor, 32 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,600 Speaker 2: the real Taylor and Edhbruden has probably slim to none. 33 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:20,800 Speaker 2: So it was really special. 34 00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:23,520 Speaker 1: Closest thing too.

A Networks tend to end the 69 00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:04,919 Speaker 2: out Galley Museum, so it continues a bit longer, which 70 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 2: is really cool. 71 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:07,360 Speaker 1: And I hear they've all been given fun we names. 72 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 2: Yes, yes they do. 73 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:12,920 Speaker 1: So the aim of the game really find them all 74 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,200 Speaker 1: and there's the chance we want to call price. 75 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,440 Speaker 2: Yep, pretty much simple, easy but fun. 76 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,919 Speaker 1: Anything else from the guy that's tickled your fancy. 77 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 2: Ah kind of so much to talk about, but there's 78 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 2: awesome print making things at the Act Gallery Museum.

There's a sort of rotating teen spot, 81 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,120 Speaker 2: so that's sort of ye thirteen to eighteen. 82 00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:39,640 Speaker 1: That's where we often get that on board. There's nothing 83 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:41,000 Speaker 1: to do exactly. 84 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 2: And it's rotating, so kind of rock up anytime any 85 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 2: day and there'll be something different there from a craft perspective, 86 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:50,200 Speaker 2: and also using the equipment within the maker Space facility, 87 00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:53,520 Speaker 2: so that's really cool. And a networks center. I mean, 88 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 2: the buzz has got to be mini golf, but clearly 89 00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 2: they were the inflatables out in the pool from time 90 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:02,760 Speaker 2: to time, swimming and yeah, just general happenings on down 91 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 2: that area. 92 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,240 Speaker 1: I wish I'd thought of this beforehand. Although I'm saying 93 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,040 Speaker 1: that the proceeds go to a pretty great local group, 94 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 1: so not too upset by it. But the men shed 95 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 1: have you seen that. They've jumped on board and they're 96 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:18,000 Speaker 1: making putters. I've invested in one just behind the desk here. 97 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:19,039 Speaker 1: Do you want me a hand it to you? 98 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:22,600 Speaker 2: I do, Like I said online, I haven't seen it. 99 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:24,520 Speaker 2: I'm not sure what it's made of, to be honest. 100 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,640 Speaker 1: Well, it's an actual golf club. So apparently Dave and 101 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:29,880 Speaker 1: this team have run around town and found everybody's old 102 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 1: golf clubs, said are no good, cut them in half 103 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:33,359 Speaker 1: to make the kids size, and then put it. We 104 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 1: waited box on the bottom of it. Put it boom. 105 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:41,280 Speaker 2: Oh well there you go. Look sounds looks like it 106 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:45,240 Speaker 2: would work. So yeah, problem solved. Yeah, so look, the 107 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 2: minigolf's fantastic. It's really popular, which is also really fantastic. 108 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:56,680 Speaker 2: That's what we wanted. And yeah, kids with supervision and 109 00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 2: pearans is fantastic. There's some enthusiasm golf swings, and we'd 110 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:08,159 Speaker 2: like the enthusiasm to remain high, but damage limited. So yeah, 111 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:12,800 Speaker 2: with a weapon like that versus a rubber based weapon, yeah, 112 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,120 Speaker 2: let's hope there's no increase in damage. 113 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:16,520 Speaker 1: I know you keep an eye on the kids. With that, 114 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:18,800 Speaker 1: now there's more for me to be fair.
