Speaker 2: We live in a kind of golden age of choice
Speaker 2: now for TV.
Speaker 1: Back in the day, for.
Speaker 2: Most of us of a certain age, TV used to
Speaker 2: shut down. There was one or two channels, there was
Speaker 2: no choice. The TV was on when the TV wanted
Speaker 2: to be on, and then they totally go bed at night.
Speaker 1: Now, well, every.
Speaker 2: Movie, that's literally every movie that's ever been made is
Speaker 2: two seconds away. We're powa lined by choice. Though every

Speaker 2: same way you recommend. What have you enjoyed the last
Speaker 2: couple of weeks? Lots of big shows over Christmas and movies?
Speaker 2: What have you really enjoyed? Share it with me? Four
Speaker 2: seven five three one oh four three. A couple of
Speaker 2: things for me to go to go in there. First
Speaker 2: of all, I am I love more technology, but I
Speaker 2: am somewhat of an analogue rebel.
Speaker 1: I say this right now.
Speaker 2: We're ware that I brought my Polaroid camera into the
Speaker 2: studio today. I want to get some photos of you
Speaker 2: all to mark. I want an actual physical reminder of
Speaker 2: week one of our national radio show, right and yeah,
Speaker 2: I could do.
Speaker 1: It on my phone.
Speaker 2: It sits on my phone it sits on my phone
Speaker 2: with the thousands of other photos I'm never really going
Speaker 2: to look back on. The polaroid camera does not take
Speaker 2: very good photos. Even if I'm one foot away from you,
Speaker 2: it still looks like we're at the bottom of a
Speaker 2: mine in Perth.
Speaker 1: However, I love those polaroid photos. So a long part
Speaker 1: of it.
Speaker 2: But the big thing I'm starting this with this year
Speaker 2: with is a pocket diary old score and bringing m
Speaker 2: right now.
Speaker 1: Yes it is mock leopard skin.
Speaker 3: Notice that leopard skin diary.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think as I head into eight years living
Speaker 2: in Australia, I think I'm awakening my eboguy. Definitely the
Speaker 2: mock leopard skin pocket diary spoke to me and I've
Speaker 2: got it now. I do have quite nae handwriting, so
Speaker 2: I've only ever got room for one or two things
Speaker 2: a day. So it's actually happening to me really focus
Speaker 2: on what's es central day to day, not in the
Speaker 2: kind of minimalist way just because I don't have room.
Speaker 2: You know, people say I don't have room at the
Speaker 2: moment in my schedule, I really don't have room to
Speaker 2: write it today. What have I got? The air task
Speaker 2: of Vick is coming at three point thirty. I've got
Speaker 2: a point with Larry Ender at ten to twenty five.
Speaker 2: That's right, I'm on Channel seven talking about I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm on your home I Channel seven best. I will yes,
Speaker 2: non stop Lass attack me and last ten to twenty five.
Speaker 2: So that the other thing that I've really enjoyed over
Speaker 2: Christmas I loved the Netflix show Runaway. I thought was
Speaker 2: absolutely outstanding, thriller, very very good, starring a great Irish
Speaker 2: out to James Nesbit. And then the thing I got
Speaker 2: This is a Christmas present for one of my kids
Speaker 2: who loves true crime, absolutely loves it. Ruby, my twenty
Speaker 2: moe old daughter loves true crime, and I found out
Speaker 2: you could get this interactive detective for a day. It's
Speaker 2: an evidence wallet arrives okay, it takes three to four
Speaker 2: hours to solve the crime.
Speaker 1: As a group or yeah no, no, he plays a group.
Speaker 2: I had to go and get my big I've got
Speaker 2: a court board that I use for ideas and planning stuff,
Speaker 2: and so I had to use it. You get the photos,
Speaker 2: newspaper reports, forensic reports that are so detailed you have
Speaker 2: to work together to work out who it was, and
Speaker 2: it has rounds and you can't go to the next
Speaker 2: round until you make a guess, and then you turn
Speaker 2: over the next guard and it says with your right
Speaker 2: or wrong? When you need to go back and look
Speaker 2: at the evidence trail again, you have to review witness
Speaker 2: statements that are typed up.
Speaker 1: I didn't know it would be this much fun. It's
Speaker 1: called Detector for a day. It is.
Speaker 2: We're doing it. We've got a couple to do this
Speaker 2: weekend because she's getting over surgery. It's great fun. If
Speaker 2: you want to do something different that's interactive with mates
Speaker 2: or with family, Detective for a day.
Speaker 1: I couldn't believe how detailed it is.
Speaker 3: Do you do it as a team or are you
Speaker 3: working against it?
Speaker 1: No? No, you got to do it as a team.
Speaker 3: Ah sick. That sounds great.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and there's red herrings and that it's really really
Speaker 2: good fun. I'm not someone that normally has the concentration
Speaker 2: to sit down for a couple of hours unfocused on
Speaker 2: a singular tasks. That's why speaking every three minutes about
Speaker 2: something random. Perfect job for me, don't breakfast radio.
Speaker 1: But I love this.
Speaker 2: Even their kids are like my god, dad's still sap focused,
Speaker 2: Like I'm a human Lambrador.
Speaker 3: Isn't that a tantrum yet?
Speaker 2: So yeah, that's it for me, Rya. What are you into?
Speaker 2: What are your Friday recommendations?
Speaker 4: I am watching Ball Kids on Netflix, which is a
Speaker 4: documentary about the surprisingly competitive, ruthless world of the Australian
Speaker 4: open ball kids.
Speaker 1: Oh, I have to see that.
Speaker 4: It's sort of like drive to survive, but for ball kids,
Speaker 4: because you.
Speaker 2: Know, come on, one is an extreme edgy sport.
Speaker 3: This is more competitive running to pick up a little ball. No,
Speaker 3: that's what you think. That's what you think.
Speaker 4: But actually they're all competing against each other for this
Speaker 4: top gong at the end called top Gun.
Speaker 3: So two of them get crowned.
Speaker 4: There's six judges at every single match watching every move
Speaker 4: that the ball kids do. Are they dragging their foot
Speaker 4: too much? Are are they rolling the ball a bit
Speaker 4: too high? Are they fast enough at the net? Every
Speaker 4: single move is scrutinized and marked. And then at the
Speaker 4: end of it, they get picked for finals, and two
Speaker 4: of them get picked for the top gone top gong,
Speaker 4: which is top Gun, And so they're all completely makes.
Speaker 2: Sense because I have wondered how do they select who
Speaker 2: goes through to do the finals?
Speaker 1: Yeah, because you can't muck that up.
Speaker 4: It's a really rigorous process and it's they're really like, how.
Speaker 2: Do they even make it to be working at the
Speaker 2: finals at Slam.
Speaker 4: Five thousand entrance and only I think it's three hundred
Speaker 4: get picked and they go through boot camp.
Speaker 3: It's six months of training to become a ball kid.
Speaker 1: I did not know.
Speaker 4: They put their heart and soul into it. It's like
Speaker 4: it takes up half their year just to get that such.
Speaker 2: You know, I wonder if there are people listening right
Speaker 2: now whose kids have done it. All the kids now
Speaker 2: who did it a couple of years ago, Please call
Speaker 2: the show thirteen fifty five twenty two Rio. I would
Speaker 2: watching that this weekend. What's it called.
