00:00:57,485 --> 00:00:58,325
Speaker 1: Back in the day, for.

17
00:00:58,405 --> 00:01:00,325
Speaker 2: Most of us of a certain age, TV used to

18
00:01:00,365 --> 00:01:03,205
Speaker 2: shut down. There was one or two channels, there was

19
00:01:03,245 --> 00:01:06,125
Speaker 2: no choice. The TV was on when the TV wanted

20
00:01:06,165 --> 00:01:08,245
Speaker 2: to be on, and then they totally go bed at night.

21
00:01:08,285 --> 00:01:09,765
Speaker 1: Now, well, every.

22
00:01:09,565 --> 00:01:13,045
Speaker 2: Movie, that's literally every movie that's ever been made is

23
00:01:13,325 --> 00:01:16,525
Speaker 2: two seconds away. We're powa lined by choice. Though every

24
00:01:16,525 --> 00:01:19,005
Speaker 2: Friday there's too many TV shows?

25
00:01:19,205 --> 00:01:21,365
Speaker 1: Is that good? I don't want I don't like that guy.

26
00:01:21,725 --> 00:01:22,765
Speaker 1: He's always a good guy.

27
00:01:22,765 --> 00:01:25,085
Speaker 2: He's always a bad guy that you get all these

28
00:01:25,125 --> 00:01:27,045
Speaker 2: arguments now on the couch. Trying to find a TV

29
00:01:27,085 --> 00:01:29,805
Speaker 2: show that works for everybody is really hard. You're not

30
00:01:29,845 --> 00:01:32,165
Speaker 2: going to go online starts with research and shows you

31
00:01:32,205 --> 00:01:34,765
Speaker 2: don't know. If you trust Rotten Tomatoes, we are here

32
00:01:34,885 --> 00:01:37,405
Speaker 2: for you. We have our recommendations. It might be books,

33

Speaker 2: it might be TV shows to stream and watch, it

00:01:39,205 --> 00:01:42,245

Speaker 2: enjoyed we recommend to you guys. This also works the

36
00:01:45,525 --> 00:01:47,525
Speaker 2: same way you recommend. What have you enjoyed the last

37
00:01:47,565 --> 00:01:50,205
Speaker 2: couple of weeks? Lots of big shows over Christmas and movies?

38
00:01:50,245 --> 00:01:52,805
Speaker 2: What have you really enjoyed? Share it with me? Four

39
00:01:52,885 --> 00:01:55,645
Speaker 2: seven five three one oh four three. A couple of

40
00:01:55,645 --> 00:01:57,005
Speaker 2: things for me to go to go in there. First

41
00:01:57,045 --> 00:02:01,245
Speaker 2: of all, I am I love more technology, but I

42
00:02:01,245 --> 00:02:03,365
Speaker 2: am somewhat of an analogue rebel.

43
00:02:03,605 --> 00:02:04,445
Speaker 1: I say this right now.

44
00:02:04,445 --> 00:02:06,325
Speaker 2: We're ware that I brought my Polaroid camera into the

45
00:02:06,365 --> 00:02:08,204
Speaker 2: studio today. I want to get some photos of you

46
00:02:08,245 --> 00:02:11,525
Speaker 2: all to mark. I want an actual physical reminder of

47
00:02:11,565 --> 00:02:15,484
Speaker 2: week one of our national radio show, right and yeah,

48
00:02:15,484 --> 00:02:15,924
Speaker 2: I could do.

49
00:02:15,885 --> 00:02:16,565
Speaker 1: It on my phone.

50
00:02:16,605 --> 00:02:19,645
Speaker 2: It sits on my phone it sits on my phone

51
00:02:19,645 --> 00:02:21,925
Speaker 2: with the thousands of other photos I'm never really going

52
00:02:21,965 --> 00:02:24,965
Speaker 2: to look back on. The polaroid camera does not take

53
00:02:25,365 --> 00:02:28,605
Speaker 2: very good photos. Even if I'm one foot away from you,

54
00:02:29,005 --> 00:02:30,765
Speaker 2: it still looks like we're at the bottom of a

55
00:02:30,805 --> 00:02:31,484
Speaker 2: mine in Perth.

56
00:02:32,085 --> 00:02:35,605
Speaker 1: However, I love those polaroid photos. So a long part

57
00:02:35,605 --> 00:02:35,765
Speaker 1: of it.

58
00:02:35,845 --> 00:02:38,484
Speaker 2: But the big thing I'm starting this with this year

59
00:02:38,525 --> 00:02:41,965
Speaker 2: with is a pocket diary old score and bringing m

60
00:02:42,085 --> 00:02:42,485
Speaker 2: right now.

61
00:02:42,605 --> 00:02:44,005
Speaker 1: Yes it is mock leopard skin.

62
00:02:44,485 --> 00:02:48,565
Speaker 3: Notice that leopard skin diary.

63
00:02:48,645 --> 00:02:51,605
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think as I head into eight years living

64
00:02:51,605 --> 00:02:55,645
Speaker 2: in Australia, I think I'm awakening my eboguy. Definitely the

65
00:02:55,685 --> 00:02:58,405
Speaker 2: mock leopard skin pocket diary spoke to me and I've

66
00:02:58,445 --> 00:03:01,365
Speaker 2: got it now. I do have quite nae handwriting, so

67
00:03:01,405 --> 00:03:04,085
Speaker 2: I've only ever got room for one or two things

68
00:03:04,125 --> 00:03:06,965
Speaker 2: a day. So it's actually happening to me really focus

69
00:03:07,005 --> 00:03:09,204
Speaker 2: on what's es central day to day, not in the

70
00:03:09,285 --> 00:03:11,325
Speaker 2: kind of minimalist way just because I don't have room.

71
00:03:11,525 --> 00:03:12,805
Speaker 2: You know, people say I don't have room at the

72
00:03:12,805 --> 00:03:14,485
Speaker 2: moment in my schedule, I really don't have room to

73
00:03:14,485 --> 00:03:17,325
Speaker 2: write it today. What have I got? The air task

74
00:03:17,365 --> 00:03:19,245
Speaker 2: of Vick is coming at three point thirty. I've got

75
00:03:19,245 --> 00:03:21,805
Speaker 2: a point with Larry Ender at ten to twenty five.

76
00:03:21,885 --> 00:03:24,725
Speaker 2: That's right, I'm on Channel seven talking about I'm like, yeah,

77
00:03:24,725 --> 00:03:29,605
Speaker 2: I'm on your home I Channel seven best. I will yes,

78
00:03:30,205 --> 00:03:32,805
Speaker 2: non stop Lass attack me and last ten to twenty five.

79
00:03:33,085 --> 00:03:35,325
Speaker 2: So that the other thing that I've really enjoyed over

80
00:03:35,405 --> 00:03:38,845
Speaker 2: Christmas I loved the Netflix show Runaway. I thought was

81
00:03:38,965 --> 00:03:43,125
Speaker 2: absolutely outstanding, thriller, very very good, starring a great Irish

82
00:03:43,125 --> 00:03:45,325
Speaker 2: out to James Nesbit. And then the thing I got

83
00:03:45,325 --> 00:03:47,765
Speaker 2: This is a Christmas present for one of my kids

84
00:03:47,805 --> 00:03:50,805
Speaker 2: who loves true crime, absolutely loves it. Ruby, my twenty

85
00:03:50,845 --> 00:03:53,125
Speaker 2: moe old daughter loves true crime, and I found out

86
00:03:53,165 --> 00:03:58,605
Speaker 2: you could get this interactive detective for a day. It's

87
00:03:58,925 --> 00:04:03,405
Speaker 2: an evidence wallet arrives okay, it takes three to four

88
00:04:03,445 --> 00:04:05,485
Speaker 2: hours to solve the crime.

89
00:04:05,525 --> 00:04:07,685
Speaker 1: As a group or yeah no, no, he plays a group.

90
00:04:08,005 --> 00:04:10,005
Speaker 2: I had to go and get my big I've got

91
00:04:10,045 --> 00:04:12,525
Speaker 2: a court board that I use for ideas and planning stuff,

92
00:04:12,725 --> 00:04:15,285
Speaker 2: and so I had to use it. You get the photos,

93
00:04:15,685 --> 00:04:20,284
Speaker 2: newspaper reports, forensic reports that are so detailed you have

94
00:04:20,404 --> 00:04:22,605
Speaker 2: to work together to work out who it was, and

95
00:04:22,685 --> 00:04:24,604
Speaker 2: it has rounds and you can't go to the next

96
00:04:24,685 --> 00:04:27,445
Speaker 2: round until you make a guess, and then you turn

97
00:04:27,484 --> 00:04:28,964
Speaker 2: over the next guard and it says with your right

98
00:04:29,044 --> 00:04:30,525
Speaker 2: or wrong? When you need to go back and look

99
00:04:30,525 --> 00:04:33,844
Speaker 2: at the evidence trail again, you have to review witness

100
00:04:33,844 --> 00:04:35,245
Speaker 2: statements that are typed up.

101
00:04:35,685 --> 00:04:37,085
Speaker 1: I didn't know it would be this much fun. It's

102
00:04:37,085 --> 00:04:38,444
Speaker 1: called Detector for a day. It is.

103
00:04:38,724 --> 00:04:40,284
Speaker 2: We're doing it. We've got a couple to do this

104
00:04:40,325 --> 00:04:43,724
Speaker 2: weekend because she's getting over surgery. It's great fun. If

105
00:04:43,765 --> 00:04:47,005
Speaker 2: you want to do something different that's interactive with mates

106
00:04:47,245 --> 00:04:48,964
Speaker 2: or with family, Detective for a day.

107
00:04:49,445 --> 00:04:51,044
Speaker 1: I couldn't believe how detailed it is.

108
00:04:51,205 --> 00:04:52,525
Speaker 3: Do you do it as a team or are you

109
00:04:52,645 --> 00:04:53,285
Speaker 3: working against it?

110
00:04:53,445 --> 00:04:54,645
Speaker 1: No? No, you got to do it as a team.

111
00:04:54,724 --> 00:04:55,964
Speaker 3: Ah sick. That sounds great.

112
00:04:56,044 --> 00:04:58,484
Speaker 2: Yeah, and there's red herrings and that it's really really

113
00:04:58,525 --> 00:05:01,724
Speaker 2: good fun. I'm not someone that normally has the concentration

114
00:05:02,125 --> 00:05:04,404
Speaker 2: to sit down for a couple of hours unfocused on

115
00:05:04,484 --> 00:05:07,604
Speaker 2: a singular tasks. That's why speaking every three minutes about

116
00:05:07,645 --> 00:05:10,724
Speaker 2: something random. Perfect job for me, don't breakfast radio.

117
00:05:10,924 --> 00:05:11,845
Speaker 1: But I love this.

118
00:05:12,284 --> 00:05:14,685
Speaker 2: Even their kids are like my god, dad's still sap focused,

119
00:05:15,885 --> 00:05:17,205
Speaker 2: Like I'm a human Lambrador.

120
00:05:17,325 --> 00:05:18,404
Speaker 3: Isn't that a tantrum yet?

121
00:05:19,964 --> 00:05:21,885
Speaker 2: So yeah, that's it for me, Rya. What are you into?

122
00:05:21,885 --> 00:05:23,405
Speaker 2: What are your Friday recommendations?

123
00:05:23,445 --> 00:05:26,044
Speaker 4: I am watching Ball Kids on Netflix, which is a

124
00:05:26,125 --> 00:05:30,845
Speaker 4: documentary about the surprisingly competitive, ruthless world of the Australian

125
00:05:30,885 --> 00:05:31,844
Speaker 4: open ball kids.

126
00:05:31,885 --> 00:05:32,925
Speaker 1: Oh, I have to see that.

127
00:05:34,044 --> 00:05:36,684
Speaker 4: It's sort of like drive to survive, but for ball kids,

128
00:05:37,005 --> 00:05:37,485
Speaker 4: because you.

129
00:05:37,445 --> 00:05:43,684
Speaker 2: Know, come on, one is an extreme edgy sport.

130
00:05:43,885 --> 00:05:46,645
Speaker 3: This is more competitive running to pick up a little ball. No,

131
00:05:46,724 --> 00:05:48,564
Speaker 3: that's what you think. That's what you think.

132
00:05:48,645 --> 00:05:52,844
Speaker 4: But actually they're all competing against each other for this

133
00:05:52,964 --> 00:05:54,844
Speaker 4: top gong at the end called top Gun.

134
00:05:54,924 --> 00:05:56,164
Speaker 3: So two of them get crowned.

135
00:05:56,325 --> 00:05:59,484
Speaker 4: There's six judges at every single match watching every move

136
00:05:59,525 --> 00:06:01,884
Speaker 4: that the ball kids do. Are they dragging their foot

137
00:06:01,885 --> 00:06:03,925
Speaker 4: too much? Are are they rolling the ball a bit

138
00:06:03,964 --> 00:06:06,164
Speaker 4: too high? Are they fast enough at the net? Every

139
00:06:06,245 --> 00:06:09,404
Speaker 4: single move is scrutinized and marked. And then at the

140
00:06:09,525 --> 00:06:11,885
Speaker 4: end of it, they get picked for finals, and two

141
00:06:12,005 --> 00:06:15,004
Speaker 4: of them get picked for the top gone top gong,

142
00:06:15,164 --> 00:06:18,884
Speaker 4: which is top Gun, And so they're all completely makes.

143
00:06:18,724 --> 00:06:21,604
Speaker 2: Sense because I have wondered how do they select who

144
00:06:21,645 --> 00:06:23,164
Speaker 2: goes through to do the finals?

145
00:06:23,284 --> 00:06:25,005
Speaker 1: Yeah, because you can't muck that up.

146
00:06:25,085 --> 00:06:28,885
Speaker 4: It's a really rigorous process and it's they're really like, how.

147
00:06:28,765 --> 00:06:30,924
Speaker 2: Do they even make it to be working at the

148
00:06:30,964 --> 00:06:32,164
Speaker 2: finals at Slam.

149
00:06:32,404 --> 00:06:37,204
Speaker 4: Five thousand entrance and only I think it's three hundred

150
00:06:37,245 --> 00:06:39,404
Speaker 4: get picked and they go through boot camp.

151
00:06:39,445 --> 00:06:41,724
Speaker 3: It's six months of training to become a ball kid.

152
00:06:41,804 --> 00:06:42,525
Speaker 1: I did not know.

153
00:06:42,885 --> 00:06:44,684
Speaker 4: They put their heart and soul into it. It's like

154
00:06:45,125 --> 00:06:48,085
Speaker 4: it takes up half their year just to get that such.

155
00:06:47,964 --> 00:06:50,845
Speaker 2: You know, I wonder if there are people listening right

156
00:06:50,844 --> 00:06:54,244
Speaker 2: now whose kids have done it. All the kids now

157
