167
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 2: the moment, that's that's really achievement.

177
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 2: the most unexpected thing to happen to you in twenty three?

178
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 3: This year?

179
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 5: I started swimming lessons and as an adult, and that

180
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 5: was pretty embarrassing. And how'd you go, Michael, I'm still

181
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 5: going I'm a slow learner, but just getting into the

182
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 5: water is you know, pretty.

183
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, of course, yeah, yeah, I've never been a swimmer.

184
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 2: You saying embarrassment. To be damned, I'm doing it. If

185
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 2: not now when.

186
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 3: Yep, it's getting in and then the treading water for starters,

187
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 3: that's the very first point, isn't it, And then you're

188
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:33,200
Speaker 3: you're trying to graduate.

189
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 2: I remember we did it on the side of the

190
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:38,199
Speaker 2: pool like Shelly Winter's sa Adventure.

191
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 3: Lisa is signaling the swimming strokes with it and looking

192
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 3: on Madam Butterfly about it. Yeah, well that's sensational, Michael,

193
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 3: well done. Just to have the guts to do it

194
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 3: and to talk about it as well, well done.

195
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:52,080
Speaker 2: It'll be next time it will be telling us I

196
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 2: swam to Rotnest. That was the most unexpected thing to happen.

197
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 3: Paris Olympics.

198
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:06,040

205
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:28,080
Speaker 9: For it is an unbelievable lineup in Perth. We're really

206
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 9: excited about the players we've got coming here. Headlined by

207
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 9: Novak Chokovic with the Serbian team, twenty four time Grand

208
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 9: Slam champion, probably the greatest player ever to play the game,

209
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 9: so to.

210
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 2: Have Novak kids amazing.

211
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 9: But we've also got the women's world number one egas

212
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 9: Fiontek of Poland. We've got the defending champions from the

213
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 9: United States, Jess Pagula and Taylor Fritz, and we've got

214
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:49,200
Speaker 9: the Australian team as well. I mean, there are so

215
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:51,080
Speaker 9: many big names coming here. It's going to be an

216
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 9: absolutely thrilling week of tennis.

217
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 2: It is amazing. I'm always amazed when you've got you know,

218
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 2: the women's number one, You've got Joker here at a

219
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 2: time where you could forgive them for perhaps wanting to

220
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 2: be at home. So it says a lot about the draw.

221
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 2: It does. It does.

222
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 9: I mean, ultimately, these players want to start competing at

223
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 9: the beginning of the year, the Australian Open coming up.

224
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 9: They want really high quality matches as soon as possible,

225
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 9: and the United Cup definitely provides that for them. But

226
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 9: this competition is also really special one for them because

227
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 9: they get to compete as part of a team and

228
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 9: to be able to compete with the men alongside the women.

229
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:25,839
Speaker 9: I mean that's something that they wouldn't have done, probably

230
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:28,080
Speaker 9: since they were quite young before they hit the professional ranks.

231
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:29,840
Speaker 9: And the players do love that, and they do love

232
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 9: to compete for their country, and they also do love

233
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:34,320
Speaker 9: coming to Perth. I mean, obviously this city is the

234
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:38,200
Speaker 9: has such a strong history of international mix teams tennis

235
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,080
Speaker 9: with the Hotman Cup, and there's a lot of players

236
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 9: who played that event who were really excited to come back.

237
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 2: Novak being one of them, wants a Qrocer selfie.

238
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 3: Of course he does talk about still does.

239
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:53,440
Speaker 9: The best that has come up in conversations of.

240
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 2: All the Crocker selfies, his is still the best over there.

241
00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 3: So its going to that next tent. But I'll tell

242
00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:02,440
Speaker 3: you what you talk about, the players loving and coming

243
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 3: to Perth and loving their game. The fans here are

244
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 3: real tennis for Shionados, aren't they fans of.

245
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 2: Consist Of course, of course they are.

246
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 9: And as I said, there's such a long legacy of

247
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 9: top level tenants here in this city and of top

248
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 9: players coming to play here. And the reaction that we've

249
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 9: had since we did the drawer, and obviously everyone learned

250
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:21,840
Speaker 9: who was going to come and play in the event

251
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 9: here has been really really positive.

252
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:25,720
Speaker 2: I mean the tickets are going really really well. Starts

253
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 2: at twenty.

254
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 9: Dollars for kids, forty dollars for adults, so it's a

255
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 9: good price point as well to come and see really

256
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:33,079
Speaker 9: have that opportunity to see some of the greatest players

257
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 9: who'll ever play the game here in Perth. So it's

258
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 9: tremendously exciting.

259
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 2: Now, one thing that's a bit different about this is

260
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 2: the way it's split over two cities. Can you explain

261
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 2: that the Perth Sydney split of the.

262
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 9: Yeah, so we've got we've got eighteen teams, eighteen national teams.

263
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:48,680
Speaker 9: There's nine in Sydney, there's nine in Perth, and they

264
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 9: playing three groups of three and then we have two

265
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 9: quarter finals in each city, which is the group winners

266
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:57,080
Speaker 9: plus the next best team. So what that means is

267
00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 9: that well, here in Perth on the third of January,

268
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:01,559
Speaker 9: we'll have the two quarter five finals and the winners

269
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:04,200
Speaker 9: of those quarterfinals then go on to Sydney to play

270
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,320
Speaker 9: in the semi finals in the final of the United Cup.

271
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 3: Very good mate. This time next week we'll be sitting

272
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 3: at the Broken Hill Hotel in vic Park and giving

273
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 3: away an incredible prize. It's an eight person box at

274
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 3: the quarterfinal of this and we'll talking about all the trimmings.

275
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 3: People will be looked after and a beck stage. We'd

276
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:24,960
Speaker 3: call it a backstage tour. Let's be honest, be going

277
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 3: behind the scenes is just one of those things that

278
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 3: make can't buy.

279
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 2: Absolutely, I'm sure I'll be involved in that as well.

280
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 9: So very very excited to take who every win's this

281
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,840
Speaker 9: competition ran to see where all the players go and

282
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:37,839
Speaker 9: everything that goes on to put such a great event

283
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 9: like this together. And for those quarter finals, if you

284
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 9: think about who you might see in those quarter finals,

285
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:46,200
Speaker 9: you're going to see one of Serbia or Poland, or

286
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,679
Speaker 9: you'll see the alex Demonor and alex Da Krums lead

287
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:51,439
Speaker 9: the Australian team. I mean, there are so many great teams.

288
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 9: That is a it's a great prize. I'm biased, but

289
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 9: it's a great.

290
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 2: Tell us about the court side box itself. I mean

291
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 2: it is court side is close enough you might get

292
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 2: hit in.

293
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 9: The head with them all. Yes, you would need to

294
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 9: watch for that. Absolutely, it's the best view in the house.

295
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 2: Obviously. Ra A c Arena is incredible. I mean it's

296
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 2: one of the best arenas in the.

297
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 9: Tennis as well outside Melbourne with rod Laver Arena right

298
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:17,720
Speaker 9: up there, and the players love playing there and it

299
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:19,720
Speaker 9: is wherever you sit, it's a great view, but certainly

300
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:21,679
Speaker 9: in that box it's extremely special.

301
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 2: And it's got all the trimmers. You just sit there

302
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:23,960
Speaker 2: and say more everything.

303
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:29,840
Speaker 3: More food right there and he steps away from Wellington Street.

304
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 3: You've got that practice cord or demo, what if you

305
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 3: want to call it out there, and it makes you

306
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 3: think about tennis all year around when you walk or

307
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:35,960
Speaker 3: drive past it.

308
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's really it's really cool and obviously it's great

309
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 9: as you said, I mean, it really sort of brings

310
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:43,320
Speaker 9: the tennis out into the city. People coming by can

311
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 9: see the players warm up and practice, and that court

312
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:47,679
Speaker 9: has used a lot. All the players who will end

313
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:49,680
Speaker 9: up playing on the ra c Arena will tend to

314
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 9: go there to hit a few balls, so you'll see

315
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:52,840
Speaker 9: all the top players there as well.

316
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:56,080
Speaker 2: So it's really that's a real festival, isn't it. In

317
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:59,120
Speaker 2: a way. Now I have to ask you this, Steven

318
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:02,520

Speaker 2: Storm Hunter?

321
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:12,680
Speaker 9: She certainly did. I would be extremely court against Storm.

322
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 9: Storm has had an unbelievable year. I mean, I think

323
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:17,959
Speaker 9: everyone involved with Australians and it should be extremely proud

324
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 9: of what she has achieved to end the year as

325
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 9: the world doubles number one is some magnificent achievement. And

326
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 9: how cool is it to have in the Australian team

327
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 9: not just Storms as the doubles women's doubles number one

328
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 9: world Matt Ebden as well is another birth Yeah. Absolutely

330
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 9: in the world. He's a former Grand Slam champion. So

331
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 9: to have two Perth locals in the Australian team and

332
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 9: playing at that level, it's really really cool.

333

Speaker 4: city property.

377
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 11: I'm recommending community service with the Long Beach Recreations Department.

378
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:40,560
Speaker 2: I thought I would getting like some Martha Stewart kind

379
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 2: of treatment. Okay, so as plots go, that sounds fairly

380
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 2: familiar to us. Ex footballer stuffs up and has to

381
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 2: coach kids, but look, it should be fun. It's Snoop.

382
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 2: Angelina Jolly has confirmed she's reprising her role for a

383
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 2: third Maleficent movie. The last one, Mistress of Evil, came

384
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 2: out for years ago. Angelina says the Maleficent character is

385
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 2: her alter ego. I like the hat. That's a cool hat.

386
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 3: That's like her. You can say it, I can't, you know.

387
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:13,200
Speaker 2: The Oasis brothers are never short on opinions and they

388
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:16,879
Speaker 2: don't mind sharing them. Well, Noel Gallagher has just shared

389
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 2: that he thinks the Beach Boys are one of the

390
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:24,159
Speaker 2: most overrated bands of all time. But Noel has a

391
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 2: theory as to why the Beach Boys are actually very popular.

392
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 2: In a new interview with The Times, Gallagher says, I

393
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:34,479
Speaker 2: have this theory that they're only revered because when people

394
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 2: used to go to record shops they were in the

395
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 2: B section, pretty close to the Beatles. Well, at least

396
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 2: he's given it some thought.

397
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 3: More Clezy, more Lisa, More podcasts soon.

398
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:55,280

401
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:04,399
Speaker 2: That must have been fun, It really was.

402
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:08,359
Speaker 12: I actually had to feel like you were. Yeah, and

403
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:10,960
Speaker 12: I stayed in a little room called the tiny Villa

404
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:14,200
Speaker 12: spa room. Literally it was a bed and a spa

405
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 12: but that's not need. Absolutely it was perfect. Yeah, it

406
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:24,160
Speaker 12: was yeah, I mean it was tiny, but it was great.

407
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 12: So yeah, the Eagles there there for three well, they

408
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:29,520

Speaker 12: They're playing golf yesterday. Training was a bit interesting on

414
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 12: Wednesday though, trouble in paradise. So I won't go on

415
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:45,679
Speaker 12: too much about it. But Harley reads, We did hear

416
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 12: Harley read Elliot. Yeah, so Harley Reid. It just the

417
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:53,840
Speaker 12: way he was behaving looked like it was an a

418
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 12: c l That's why I think it was. Everyone sort

419
00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 12: of panicked, but it's not.

420
00:18:57,960 --> 00:18:58,639
Speaker 11: It's a corked far.

421
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:02,479
Speaker 12: He's all good, ice on, He's absolutely fine, so we

422
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 12: can all breathe the sigh of relief.

423
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:05,160
Speaker 11: Elliott, Yo.

424
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 12: He Adam Simson says, he's fine, he's he was just

425
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:10,200
Speaker 12: on a light load. But he did leave the track

426
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 12: after half now he was doing a modified program. Then

427
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 12: he got in the car with the trainer. So everyone's

428
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:17,120
Speaker 12: just thinking, what's happening. But it's been you know, it's

429
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:23,679
Speaker 12: all good. Yeah, he probably was. Yeah, he probably was

430
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:25,639
Speaker 12: just on a really light load. Dom shed was a

431
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:27,359
Speaker 12: big surprise though. So we were at Duns for a

432
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:29,840
Speaker 12: primary and he rocks up in a moonboot and no

433
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 12: one knew that he was injured at all. So that

434
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:36,640
Speaker 12: moonboot is protecting a hot spot in his foot. Elijah Hewitt,

435
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:39,920
Speaker 12: he also is managing a foot issue. Feet, a lot

436
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:43,800
Speaker 12: of foot awareness, a lot of foot aw awareness. Yeah,

437
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:47,119
Speaker 12: and Adam Simpson says, everyone's fine, they'll be playing, you know,

438
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:47,680
Speaker 12: round one.

439
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:49,560
Speaker 11: But feet are difficult to manage.

440
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:54,960
Speaker 2: But everything else sits atop them exactly football they get

441
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:56,400
Speaker 2: you around exactly.

442
00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 11: Your feet. Yeah, so it was really good.

443
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,600
Speaker 12: Ruben Jimmy, he was so popular at Dunsbury Primary because

444
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:03,200
Speaker 12: that's where he went.

445
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 11: He was resolutely.

446
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:06,720
Speaker 2: Swarm he went to school there.

447
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:11,880
Speaker 12: Yeah, so he returned and he was rocks salute, rock

448
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:14,359
Speaker 12: star and kids said, oh, well, because Reuben went here,

449
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:17,240
Speaker 12: it means that I can now play a Yeah. And

450
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 12: you know I have the same teacher as Ruben, so

451
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:21,120
Speaker 12: that means I'm going to be an AFL players.

452
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 2: So imagine how they would use him there in the

453
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 2: school as an incentive for everything.

454
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:26,200
Speaker 10: Yeah.

455
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 2: So that's why it's a real positive.

456
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 3: Is a big unit that he was saying.

457
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 12: We did a press conference with him after he's put

458
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:35,879
Speaker 12: on five kilos in the off season. He said that

459
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:39,679
Speaker 12: his injury that Cuddy season short has really motivated him

460
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:42,479
Speaker 12: to just get everything right in his body. And you

461
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:47,200
Speaker 12: can tell he's everyone says he's the benchmark watching out

462
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:48,480
Speaker 12: for Ruben was.

463
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:52,400
Speaker 3: In the kitchen eating the bench Yes, yes, So you've

464
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:54,120

Speaker 11: There will be a preseason derby.

470
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 12: We haven't had that for a couple of years because

471
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:10,600
Speaker 12: both teams just got sick of playing each other basically,

Speaker 12: March second. Too hot it is, it will be warm.

475
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 12: There's a good chance fans could be locked out of

476
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 12: that one. We have been locked out in the past.

477
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 12: It just depends what they're feeling. And whether West Coast

478
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 12: will go to Adelaide to play the Crows is still unclear.

479
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:32,879
Speaker 12: I don't know if you remember both Port and the

480
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:35,679
Speaker 12: Crows came to Perth last year and they were here

481
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:36,240
Speaker 12: for about a week.

482
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:41,120
Speaker 2: State of origin. Yeah, the season, pre season.

483
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 12: So it depends if Eagles want to cram another game.

484
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:46,119
Speaker 3: In before the scenes should fly here. We have to

485
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:48,160
Speaker 3: go over to gather around True later.

486
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 5: In the year.

487
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:52,359
Speaker 12: Yeah, True come to Perth. Yeah, Sunny per and just

488
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 12: on Dockers. While we're talking footy, so young forward Sam

489
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 12: Sturt he pulled up really sore after training on Monday.

490
00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 12: He's got a bit of a knee niggle. So he's

491
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:04,680
Speaker 12: been sent for surgery after scouts revealed some minor knee damage,

492
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 12: so keep him out for about six to eight weeks.

493
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:07,560
Speaker 11: It's a massive blow.

494
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:11,439
Speaker 12: I know it's only December, but you need preseason, you

495
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:12,520
Speaker 12: need this time.

496
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 3: He just established himself.

497
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:16,200
Speaker 12: I know I wanted to exactly and they need him

498
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:19,919
Speaker 12: with Shultz and that gone. So yeah, it's disappointing for him,

499
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 12: but hopefully he can cram it in later in the

500
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 12: year preseason.

501
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:28,400
Speaker 3: Rather, we're switching sports, so we're heading towards cricket, right, Yes.

502
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:30,919
Speaker 12: So the Big Bash kicked off last night with the

503
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:34,919
Speaker 12: Heat and Stars. The Heat beat the Stars by one

504
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:38,359
Speaker 12: hundred and three runs at the Gabba. Former Scorches opener

505
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:42,320
Speaker 12: Colin Munroe he whacked ninety nine off sixty one unbeaten,

506
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:45,120
Speaker 12: so he did really well. We could use him the Scorches.

507
00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:46,679
Speaker 12: They fly out this morning. I think they're actually at

508
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:49,480
Speaker 12: the airport right now getting ready. So they take on

509
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:53,200
Speaker 12: the Renegades on Sunday, then the Melbourne Stars on Wednesday,

510
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 12: so they've got two in Melbournehi while they're away, and

511
00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:59,440
Speaker 12: then they come back home and just quickly yesterday Cam

512
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:01,880
Speaker 12: bankro of he made a half century in the Prime

513
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:07,000
Speaker 12: Minister's eleven against Pakistan. Really solid effort given David Warner's

514
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 12: opening spot is up for grabs after the SCG test.

515
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:13,400
Speaker 12: But Marcus Harris is also in the mix. He made

516
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:17,600
Speaker 12: forty nine, so neither scores really would blow a selector's

517
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 12: mind away.

518
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:21,879
Speaker 2: But did the Prime Minister do like John Howard and

519
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:24,159
Speaker 2: show up and Bowler.

520
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 3: Didn't get that?

521
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 11: Would be good?

522
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love to see. We've always had Prime ministers

523
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:31,680
Speaker 2: that have loved crickets.

524
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:34,639
Speaker 11: Oh my god, Jarson loved it.

525
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, John Howard loved it.

526
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:38,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, Hockey got one to play it. Hockey got one

527
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 3: in the eyes and nearly lost an eye glasses.

528
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:45,800

Speaker 12: Yeah, so they lost one nil in their final friendly.

555
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:05,720

00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:19,439

563
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:24,840

Speaker 12: I'm here during the Olympics.

569
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:38,480

00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:11,120

Speaker 2: we'll see you next week. See.

583
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 3: Then it was this dailies forty three years ago we

584
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:19,800
Speaker 3: lost John Lennon.

585
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 2: It's hard to believe that we hadn't John Winston Lennon

586
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:24,760
Speaker 2: would be eighty three.

587
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 3: Isn't that incredible now? Yeah? So it was the evening

588
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:30,119
Speaker 3: of December eight back in nineteen eighty and John and

589
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:33,159
Speaker 3: Yoko were leaving I think that the Code building at

590
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:36,480
Speaker 3: one stage, and a fan of the name of Mark Chapman,

591
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:38,359
Speaker 3: Mike David Chapman, came up and got a copy of

592
00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:41,680
Speaker 3: their their current or his current hit album Double Fantasy

593
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:46,040
Speaker 3: signed and then coming back to the building and then he.

594
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 2: That's so creepy.

595
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:50,640
Speaker 3: He was hanging around and he planned for months meticulously

596
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:52,479
Speaker 3: what he was going to do because he was a

597
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:55,400
Speaker 3: fan who but he was also jealous. He was deranged,

598
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:58,600
Speaker 3: but he was jealous of John's lifestyle. Yeah, and they

599
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 3: found out later because he was obsessed with Catcher in

600
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:02,280
Speaker 3: the Rye. So he sat there after killing John Lennon

601
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 3: and put five bullets in. John Lennon sat there reading

602
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:06,359
Speaker 3: Catcher in the Rye, waiting to be arrested and they

603
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 3: found out later that David Bowie could have been a

604
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:11,359
Speaker 3: target too, So yes, yeah, scary times.

605
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 2: John Winston O, no, Lennon, you took his wife's name. Yeah,

606
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:19,119
Speaker 2: at a time when it wasn't so common. Well it

607
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 2: was not that common now, but it was. Yeah, definitely

608
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:21,879
Speaker 2: wasn't that.

609
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:23,800
Speaker 3: And the child of the war. So Winston Churchill were

610
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:25,640
Speaker 3: going to mention any in the naming of him because

611
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:30,400
Speaker 3: he's waundering the bombing in London. But Chapman was eligible

612
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:33,280
Speaker 3: for parole like twenty something years ago. It's been night

613
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:36,480
Speaker 3: at twenty times already. Yeah, let's not talk about him, No,

614
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:38,840
Speaker 3: let's move on there. Just think of John the real thing.

615
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:41,000
Speaker 3: And she said the album was going off at the time,

616
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:42,680
Speaker 3: wasn't it double fantasy?

617
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:45,120
Speaker 1: We're never going to forget him. Yeah, forty three will

618
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:48,680
Speaker 1: be missed always. People speculated a bit like yeah, Elvis

619
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:50,840
Speaker 1: Presley or whatever. People speculate what would be going on

620
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:52,720
Speaker 1: later years, what kind of music would they do and

621
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 1: all that.

622
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, my money's on that John wouldn't have hung around

623
00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:57,679
Speaker 3: and married HEATHERN Mills like Paul McCartney did.

624
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:02,680
Speaker 2: No name to put that as the last thought on

625
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:04,919
Speaker 2: my head about it. You know as younger. As new

626
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:08,119
Speaker 2: generations come along, we will still remember John Lennon on

627
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 2: the eighth of December, Clazy and Lisaz
