22
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 5: I haven't haven't missed too many tours.

23
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:11,959
Speaker 4: And to watch his current Australian team play, whether it's

00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:19,039
Speaker 4: in great nick and they're they're pretty good performance.

26
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:19,119
Speaker 5: Aren't they.

27
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 6: They're not bad mate? You know when you're on tour, mate,

28
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:23,119
Speaker 6: what are their bombie army like with you? They get

29
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 6: stuck into the players, as we know, and they've got

30
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 6: a bit hated at times. Is they good with you

31
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:27,400
Speaker 6: or they steal you?

32
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:27,839
Speaker 2: Still?

33
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 4: Now, I really don't listen to them all that much.

34
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 4: To me, they're not there for the cricket. They're there

35
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 4: for themselves. So they're they're sitting there sort of dress up.

36
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 4: Stop going to dress up parties. When I was about

37
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 4: ten to be don it they want to sing? If

38
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 4: I want to sing, I go to carry out? So yeah, mate,

39
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 4: I want to go to the cricket and bring in England.

40
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 4: Twenty years ago was fantastic. They were really knowledgeable crowd

41
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 4: and then this babie army came in and it's just

42
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 4: a pack of attention seeking. It's all about them. It's

43
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 4: not about when something goes wrong.

44
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 5: When something goes wrong and they're into the opposition.

45
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,920
Speaker 4: And that's what we say, guys, we're over there. You

46
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:20,080
Speaker 4: think it's good banter and it's good banter until England

47
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:25,399
Speaker 4: get behind and then they turned it does.

48
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 5: Beryl is a good word for him.

49
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 1: Let's let's talk about your love fishing. Did that begin

50
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 1: during cricket off seasons? You love for fishing?

51
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 4: So I grew up country Victoria and moved around a lot.

52
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 4: So dad was a school teacher and we're up in

53
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 4: the northeast region. Those of Victoria were down at Apollo Bay,

54
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 4: which is west coast.

55
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:50,359
Speaker 5: And a lot of that.

56
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 4: Dad wasn't a fisherman, but he played football with cricket

57
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 4: and a lot of his mates were fishermen, and his

58
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 4: mates had kids my age. So I just started fishing

59
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,519
Speaker 4: manon and really had a lover of fishing. And I'm

60
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 4: no expert by any means, but to have a fishing show,

61
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 4: what well do on the show is just show people

62
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:11,399
Speaker 4: that you can go out and have a good time

63
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:13,800
Speaker 4: and it's it's not about catching the biggest or best fish,

64
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 4: but that's a big part of it.

65
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 3: Do you have favorite spots in wa to put the

66
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 3: rod out?

67
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 5: Yeah?

68
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 4: I haven't done a lot of you behave I have

69
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:28,799
Speaker 4: done a lot of fishing in w A, but I've

70
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:32,640
Speaker 4: been up north to brun Derby and we've been at

71
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 4: the x Mouth Mouth, been the Mackerel Islands up there,

72
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 4: so I had a couple of really good experiences. So

73
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 4: looking forward to the boat shop.

74
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 6: Yeah, what's your favorite feeder fish? Have you got a

75
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 6: snapper on chips during the work with yours?

76
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 1: Yeah?

77
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 5: Anything fresh, to be honest. So if i'm if I'm.

78
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 4: At a coastal hotel for a feed instead of game

79
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 4: for the normal stake, you have a look at the

80
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 4: fish of the day and the empire as it whether

81
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 4: it's locally cooked, whether it's fresh, and that makes a

82
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 4: massive difference. But I'll say at home snapper. So because

83
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 4: it's fairly easy to get. Just drop the boat out

84
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 4: at the bake. It's a few snappy you come in

85
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 4: and my kids love it. I love it grilled, but

86
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 4: my kids love it either crumbed or be about it more.

87
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, I love it.

88
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 2: Yeah.

89
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,840
Speaker 1: You know what, there's Melbourne has a way of doing

90
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 1: fish that we don't do here.

91
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 3: It's sort of it's it's it's not deep fried.

92
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 1: It's done on a hot plate, but with a you know,

93
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 1: sort of with a fried It's absolutely delicious.

94
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:41,480
Speaker 3: I wish we had that option.

95
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 5: Here.

96
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:47,839
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, you just you're just every everything you cook.

97
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 4: Everyone wants to be a little bit extravagant with fish,

98
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 4: and they put in the herds and spices, they put

99
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:57,360
Speaker 4: in sauces, they do all that less as well. Yeah,

100
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,280
Speaker 4: I just I eat fish for the taste of and

101
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,279
Speaker 4: flat head are a good eating fish.

102
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 5: Snapper a good I do.

103
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 4: I tend to do a lot of fresh water fishing,

104
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:10,919
Speaker 4: a lot of that to catch and return. And the

105
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:14,280
Speaker 4: reason I do that is I get seasick right now,

106
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:18,719
Speaker 4: that's terrible Southern states states where you got the swells.

107
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 5: So if you have a look at our show, we

108
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:21,599
Speaker 5: go up to dal.

109
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 4: And a lot where there's no swell and down on

110
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 4: the blue water and fish and so we do we

111
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 4: do cheat a bit, but yeah, that's all good. That

112
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 4: is at the boat a Per Convention Center, as you mentioned,

113
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:37,480
Speaker 4: doors open at nine o'clock. And if you're India, you're

114
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 4: fishing and you're not sure how to cook. They've got

115
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 4: people up on stage having a talk and Don Steffan

116
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 4: is up there talking about fish fillting and cooking.

117
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 1: A good one for you, Lisa, Yes, absolutely crap at

118
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 1: filling a fish it is. I'm there with my little tweezers.

119
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 3: No one wants a bone.

120
00:05:58,000 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 2: It's horrible all of those stuff.

121
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah. The big thing about that too is that

122
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,479
Speaker 4: people fill a lot of fish. If you get a

123
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 4: pansie snappers, just got them and just cook them whole.

124
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:12,720
Speaker 2: And moves.

125
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 6: Some big names along with yourself, Michaelakra like of the

Speaker 4: So it's going to be they're doing a boating talk.

129
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,360
Speaker 4: They're boating fishing, but they're boating talk and Jamie Chester

130
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 4: from Western England is going to get up and do

131
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,840
Speaker 4: a fishing talk and I'm up on stage with Scottie Coglan,

132
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 4: also from Western England, and we're just going to have

133
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 4: a put a bit of fun into it. So as

134
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:37,279
Speaker 4: I say, we put a bit of fun into fishing.

135
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 1: Fantastic. Well, if you would indulge me. One more cricket

136
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 1: associated question, MERV. Just wondering about your thoughts on the

137
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 1: decision of Cricket Australia yesterday for players to wear neck

138
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:50,600
Speaker 1: guards on their helmets.

139
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:53,160
Speaker 5: It's an interesting one.

140
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 4: It's all about health and safety these days because a

141
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 4: lot of a lot of the old time players. When

142
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 4: I say olden time players, the players that played before me,

143
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:05,600
Speaker 4: I'll refer to myself as all. They have to be honest,

144
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 4: but they are blakes need helmets. But what people don't

145
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 4: realize it's a work. It's all about it's all about

146
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 4: health and safety. Yeah, it's all about health and safety.

147
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 4: So if you can guard people against injury, and the

148
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 4: players want that themselves because they don't want to be

149
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 4: getting hit and getting injured. So that's why you see

150
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 4: the arm guards inside fivepad. It's just to just to

151
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 4: refrain from getting injuries.

152
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 5: So anything that they do, they don't do it.

153
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 4: They don't do it because they just want to do it.

154
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 4: They do it for the safety of the players of course.

155
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, even the compromise to our helmets that get thrown

156
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 6: out and all the rest of it when they.

157
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 2: Get to hit.

158
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:45,760
