Speaker 1: This is jam nation with Well Someday it's the Battle

2
00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:08,039
Speaker 1: of the West. To have Sydney's biggest teams go head

3
00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:10,640
Speaker 1: to head in the Grand Final, it's all anyone's talking about.

4
00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:14,000
Speaker 1: The Paramatter Eels are chasing their first premiership in thirty

5
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:18,560
Speaker 1: six years, emotional times. They're taking on the reigning champions.

6
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:22,439
Speaker 1: Penwrith Panthers. Imagine living in a household where there's a

7
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:26,000
Speaker 1: line drawn straight down the middle. We we're about to

8
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:28,400
Speaker 1: meet a couple who were living just like that, Glen

9
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 1: and Natalie. Hello, Hello, Hello, Natalie Paramatta Glen Panthers.

10
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 2: That's correct.

11
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:40,200
Speaker 1: Yes, How did you feel as living together as a couple.

12
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:42,560
Speaker 1: How did you feel when you looked at the games?

13
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:44,920
Speaker 1: You looked at the drawing and you thought, wow, we're

14
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:46,200
Speaker 1: going to meet in the Grand Final?

15
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 3: Pretty amazed, to be fair, I think as a Paramatta supporter,

16
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 3: like you were saying, thirty six years, that's longer than

17
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 3: I've been alive. So pretty pumped, to be fair. Last

18
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 3: week I honestly couldn't watch the game like the last

19
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 3: ten minutes, but when we went through I did have

20
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 3: a tear in my eye. So pretty excited, and especially

21
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 3: with the two of us being on the opposing side.

22
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 1: How's the day going to play out? Have you got

23
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 1: your ritual worked out? What are you going to do?

24
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 4: We don't really have a ritual worked out, but just

25
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,400
Speaker 4: planning to enjoy the joy the day, I guess.

26
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:23,120
Speaker 1: And can you You won't be feuding.

27
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 3: I wouldn't say feuding, but definitely the friendly banter. I've

28
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 3: actually woken up Glenn yesterday morning. He was still asleep.

29
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 3: I rolled over and I just kindly whispered in his

30
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 3: ear par So definitely I wouldn't. I'm hoping no arguments,

31
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 3: but Sunday will be the day that it might all

32
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:42,839
Speaker 3: come to a head.

33
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 2: Do you have a wager?

34
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:45,760
Speaker 1: Oh?

35
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:47,119
Speaker 3: No, I think.

36
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 2: We should though we should?

37
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 3: We should though, Yeah, but it's very hard because at

38
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 3: home we're actually very kind to.

39
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:55,919
Speaker 2: Each other most days. But until that game? And Glenn,

40
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 2: how long have you been a Penrouth supporter?

41
00:01:57,800 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 3: For it?

42
00:01:58,320 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 2: So pretty much my whole life?

43
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, My mum has been a Panthers fan since I

44
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 4: was a kid, so I'd naturally just started following them. Yep,

45
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 4: and yeah, been to a lot of games this year.

46
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 2: Is why do you think Penrith will win this?

47
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 4: I just think we have the superior team champions finish first.

48
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 4: We've got talent across the park. Nathan Cleary's kicking game

49
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 4: will be big for us.

50
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 1: So it's funny how when you said all that, Natalie

51
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:29,079
Speaker 1: sort of pulled.

52
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 2: Out, Yeah, why will Paramatta win this? Natalie?

53
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 3: I just think that Paramatta have something real to play for.

54
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 3: Penrith have already had a premiership recently, of course, and

55
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:44,799
Speaker 3: I just think Paramata they know what the fans are

56
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 3: like and I think they will really show up on

57
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,080
Speaker 3: the day and make us all have a tear in

58
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 3: our eyes, to be honest.

59
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 1: And what happens on the day. You're going to put

60
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 1: up streamers in your house? Are you going to make

61
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:57,360
Speaker 1: snacks that are in different colors? How are you going

62
00:02:57,440 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 1: to you know? Are you just going to sit quietly

63
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 1: and hold hands?

64
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 3: No? No, definitely not so. Glenn has Actually I was

65
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 3: on shift work at the start of this week. I

66
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 3: pulled into the driveway after a night shift and there

67
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 3: he was sitting on our front veranda playing the Penrith

68
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 3: the theme song and he had decorated the front window

69
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:20,080
Speaker 3: with the Penrith scaraff and the jersey and everything. I

70
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 3: have just finished work for the week if you will.

71
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 3: My shifts, so he's at work for the next few days,

72
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 3: so I will be doing my all of my decorating,

73
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 3: and believe me, it's going to be more superior than his.

74
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 2: You guys, are you going to the game? Yeah? We are.

75
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 2: We managed to get tickets, which was very difficult.

76
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 1: So do you sit with Panther supporters?

77
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 2: Do you sit with the supporters?

78
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 3: We try to be neutral where we see it. We

79
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 3: don't want to put each other in sort of the trouble. Yeah, exactly,

80
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 3: And I think out of the two of us, I'm

81
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 3: definitely the sow winner and the saw loser. Yeah, so

82
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 3: I wouldn't be impressed sitting in.

83
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 2: With the Glen. You should go away this week. It's

84
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 2: long weekend. It's just beautiful at this time of view. Well,

85
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 2: we wish you best of luck to both of you,

86
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 2: Glenn and Natalie. Thank you for coming in and good

87
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:10,560

Speaker 3: Thank you. We're all excited and pumped.

89
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 2: May the best team win. Panthers away
