All right , so you're going to play arcade and then what are we going to do after that ? Play footy at the footy field , and I'm going to beat you .

Speaker 1 2:56

Oh , probably again . Last time you did like a 30-metre kick .

Speaker 2 2:59

Yeah .

Speaker 1 3:00

That's huge . And then you also got the cricket pad out and hit that as well . Yes , you're getting very good at your coordination .

Speaker 2 3:06

Mm-hmm . And then I did the best kick remember .

Speaker 1 3:09

It was massive .

Speaker 2 3:11

I remember how I did that kick that you couldn't do .

Speaker 1 3:16

What was that one Between the posts ? Yeah , that's right .

Speaker 2 3:19

How I was standing on the line and the post was right in front of me .

Speaker 1 3:22

Oh , you were in the corner . I was standing on the line and the person was right in front of me . Oh , you were in the corner . Yeah , really sharp angle . Why do you have to tell everyone who's listening to this how bad I am and how good you are ?

Speaker 2 3:31

I mean , you are good at the cricket bat .

Speaker 1 3:34

Maybe I should have played cricket , not football . What do you think ? Is it too late for me to play cricket ? Am I too old ?

Speaker 2 3:40

I don't know .

Speaker 1 3:40

How dare you ? I , I don't know . How dare you , I don't know . We're going to have some fun anyway , aren't we ? Mm-hmm ? All right now , tell me what happened on the weekend . What did you do ? That's exciting and fun on the weekend .

Weekend Thrills at the Ekka

Speaker 2 3:50

On Sunday we went to the Ecker .

Speaker 1 3:53

The Ecker .

Speaker 2 3:54

Uh-huh .

Speaker 1 3:55

Tell me you can go on some scary rides .

Speaker 2 3:57

I did go on one .

Speaker 1 3:59

Oh my gosh , what was it called ?

Speaker 2 4:01

The Ferris wheel . What that's scary . It was higher than the Ferris wheel .

Speaker 1 4:05

Higher than the Ferris wheel . That goes like near to the stars .

Speaker 2 4:08

Yeah , it was a spinning ride , it was like a swing ride . And it puts you all the way up in the air and you get to see like the whole city .

Speaker 1 4:20

Now I've got to ask you a question .

Speaker 2 4:22

Were you scared ? No , now I've got to ask you a question . Were you ?

Speaker 1 4:23

scared . No , aren't you scared of heights ? No , you sound like my daughter . It went slow , yeah , but doesn't it like fan out and it goes all the way out and up like an octopus or anything .

Speaker 2 4:34

No .

Speaker 1 4:35

Oh , it just goes straight up , yeah , and then spins around .

Speaker 2 4:39

Yeah .

Speaker 1 4:40

Is it higher than the Ferris wheel ?

Speaker 2 4:42

Yeah , oh my gosh , you're freaking me out . That's scary . And then my sister cried on like the littlest ride .

Speaker 1 4:49

Did she ?

Speaker 2 4:50

Yeah .

Speaker 1 4:52

Isn't it strange how some people get scared and some people don't ?

Speaker 2 4:57

Because I think it was because it was going fast , but it did go high up in the air .

Speaker 1 5:01

Oh did it . Yeah well , I can't believe you don't get scared of heights at all . No , I'm not . So when you're tall enough , will you go to Dreamworld and go on some of the big loop-de-loop roller coasters and things like that .

Speaker 2 5:14

No .

Speaker 1 5:14

Look , will you be scared of roller coasters ?

Speaker 2 5:16

I usually go to Movie World .

Speaker 1 5:18

Yeah , but when you're tall enough will you go on the big scary moot rides ? Maybe , and it won't be scared .

Speaker 2 5:26

Not really , oh my gosh . Because you're safe .

Speaker 1 5:30

It doesn't feel like you're safe when you get flung up in the air .

Speaker 2 5:32

You're strapped in , you're safe .

Speaker 1 5:34

It feels like I'm going up into the sky . It feels like I'm going to go into the clouds or something .

Speaker 2 5:41

You're not the rides , don't even go up in the ride .

Speaker 1 5:46

Yeah , but I don't know , I'm freaking out . How can you not be scared ? Did you get a show bag ?

Speaker 2 5:51

Yes .

Speaker 1 5:52

What was the show bag you got ?

Speaker 2 5:54

A Zappo one .

Speaker 1 5:56

Oh , is there any Zappos left ?

Speaker 2 5:58

Yes , it's Tuesday , there's lots of them , because we got the big one . But it wasn't only Zappos , there was other ones .

Speaker 1 6:05

Were other lollies in there .

Speaker 2 6:06

Yeah , there was a lot of lollies in there .

Speaker 1 6:09

Have you had a lot of lollies ? Have you eaten a lot of them ?

Speaker 2 6:12

No , no , we only got it two days ago .

Speaker 1 6:16

Are you allowed to have lollies ?

Speaker 2 6:18

Yes . Do you have to ask when you're allowed to have lollies . Yes , okay In that show bag ?

Speaker 1 6:28

what is your favourite lolly ? I don't know , I don't know all of them . Is it a ?

Speaker 2 6:30

Zappo . Do you like Zappos ? Obviously yeah , I do . Okay , it's not my favourite candy . That's just what I wanted there .

Speaker 1 6:37

Okay , and what else did you do at the show ? I , okay .

Speaker 2 6:42

And what else did you do at the show I went on ? These are the rides that I went on Okay yeah , the ride that my sister cried on was the Phoenix , I think .

Speaker 1 6:51

Yeah .

Speaker 2 6:52

Which spun around and there was like a paper airplane one .

Speaker 1 6:56

Oh yeah cool . Oh yeah , I know what you mean , yeah .

Speaker 2 6:59

That one . And then I went on the break dancer .

Speaker 1 7:03

What's that ?

Speaker 2 7:04

It's a ride that hurts your neck .

Speaker 1 7:07

Does it move your head around ?

Speaker 2 7:08

Yeah . Oh , you have to dance on it and it hurt my back and it started to hurt me because I was putting my hands up while they were spinning around , but it still hurts a little bit and my mum tried to tell me to put my hands down , but I couldn't hear her .

Speaker 1 7:26

Oh .

Speaker 2 7:27

And my hands were just still up .

Speaker 1 7:29

And so what do you do on the break , Dancer ?

Speaker 2 7:32

You just sit in the ride and it spins you like fast around .

Speaker 1 7:35

Does it make you feel sick ?

Speaker 2 7:36

But you go spin around yeah .

Speaker 1 7:40

So gravity pulls you back .

Speaker 2 7:42

No , it didn't make me feel sick . But , the phoenix made me feel very sick . Did it yeah .

Speaker 1 7:50

Okay , so you've been in the phoenix the plane ride , the phoenix is the plane ride . Oh sorry , the phoenix , the chair one , the break dancer , the break dancer .

Speaker 2 8:00

And then I went on this car ride that my sister cried on again , but it was only small too , but it did go backwards and it said scream if you want to go faster . And me and my mum screamed , so I went faster forwards .

Speaker 1 8:19

Oh my gosh .

Speaker 2 8:20

And then it stopped and it said that we're going backwards now and it was just going normal speed backwards and it said scream if you want to go faster . So me and my mum screamed again and it just kept going faster backwards .

Speaker 1 8:33

Really yeah . So it wasn't like the Dodgem cars .

Speaker 2 8:36

No .

Speaker 1 8:37

It was a different car one .

Speaker 2 8:39

The Dodgem cars were inside with the show bags .

Speaker 1 8:42

Oh were they ? Yeah . And so what did you do in the car one ? Did you still get to drive around everywhere ?

Speaker 2 8:47

No , it was just one of those roller coasters . Oh yeah , it's on the ground and spins around , spins around .

Speaker 1 8:52

Yeah , did you have any food there besides the show bags ? Did you eat and dag with dogs or anything like that ? No , no , no . Did you go to the animal section , the farm animals ?

Speaker 2 9:02

They didn't . Yeah , we did see animals , but there was a whole other section that we didn't see .

Speaker 1 9:08

Oh , how come I don't know . You ran out of time , I think it was too many people . Was it busy .

Speaker 2 9:13

Yeah , it was very busy when we went .

Speaker 1 9:15

Was it ? Is it the first time ?

Speaker 2 9:18

you've been to the Eka ? No it was my sister's first time , okay , when I was younger , very young . It was one .

Speaker 1 9:27

If I said to you , out of ten , ten was the best , one's the worst , what was the echo for you this year ?

Speaker 2 9:34

A . Ten .

Speaker 1 9:35

You loved it , mm-hmm , so you'd go back again .

Speaker 2 9:37

Yes .

Speaker 1 9:38

Would you go next time on the scariest ride called the Ferris Wheel ?

Speaker 2 9:43

That's not the scariest ride . The Warrior is .

Speaker 1 9:46

What's the Warrior ? Now I'm scared of even the title .

Speaker 2 9:50

It's higher than the ride that I went on . What yeah ? And it like spins you up and all the way higher than there and it just goes straight down .

Speaker 1 10:02

Oh my gosh .

Speaker 2 10:04

My mum's been on it before .

Speaker 1 10:06

Did she say it's scary ?

Speaker 2 10:08

No , she said that it was fun .

Speaker 1 10:12

Is there like a minimum age you have to be to go on it , or do they say you have to be 12 years old or a certain height ? I never went on it .

Speaker 2 10:17

I didn't want to go on it .

Speaker 1 10:18

Oh , you didn't want to go on it .

Speaker 2 10:19

No , it looked scary . Oh , you don't want to go on it . No , it looks scary .

Speaker 1 10:20

You just said you're not scared of heights and things .

Speaker 2 10:22

I know , but how high is that one ?

Speaker 1 10:25

That one's really high , isn't it ?

Speaker 2 10:26

Yes , Did you have fairy floss ? No , I had no food . Oh Were you there for long . We were there for the whole day .

Speaker 1 10:38

Okay , that's cool , well done . And you played footy Friday night this time .

Football Experiences and Challenges

Speaker 2 10:43

I didn't like that .

Speaker 1 10:45

Why .

Speaker 2 10:46

Because first they were punching us and swinging us around , that's a bit nasty .

Speaker 1 10:51

That's not why you play football .

Speaker 2 10:56

I think one of the players tackled one of the people and then , I think , broke his ankle too , because they smashed their ankle with their boot .

Speaker 1 11:04

Oh really .

Speaker 2 11:04

And I think he broke it .

Speaker 1 11:06

That's nasty .

Speaker 2 11:07

Yeah , the other team broke one of our teammates' ankle .

Speaker 1 11:10

So some of the players on the other team were a bit dirty players .

Speaker 2 11:14

Yeah , they were punching us too . They started punching me too when they were tackling me Really .

Speaker 1 11:19

Yeah , that doesn't make you want to play football again when you do that stuff , when they do that stuff .

Speaker 2 11:25

Yeah .

Speaker 1 11:25

So how many more games are you left ? Do you know ?

Speaker 2 11:29

One .

Speaker 1 11:30

This weekend ? Yeah , who are you playing this weekend ?

Speaker 2 11:34

I don't know , but I do have for the season .

Speaker 1 11:38

Yeah .

Speaker 2 11:39

But I do have other games . I have a day where we have to play six games that day .

Speaker 1 11:47

Oh , so it's like a round robin sort of tournament .

Speaker 2 11:52

You play different teams . Yeah , we play different teams , but I don't know what it is . I forgot what it was called .

Speaker 1 11:58

Okay , maybe like a little gala day and is that on a weekend ? Yeah , what do you mean ? Like , is that still for club or is that for school Club ? Does your school have a footy team ? No , not enough people .

Speaker 2 12:15

They do have like sports things where they do have footy and soccer .

Speaker 1 12:21

Yeah .

Speaker 2 12:23

That you can go to , okay , but not like an actual team .

Speaker 1 12:27

Oh , okay , righto , I don't think so . You've got a tournament coming up where you play round robin , play different teams coming up shortly .

Speaker 2 12:36

It's not called round robin . I don't know what it's called .

Speaker 1 12:39

It's usually called a gala day .

Speaker 2 12:42

I think it's like something starting with Shane .

Speaker 1 12:46

Shane Webke Cup .

Speaker 2 12:47

Yeah .

Speaker 1 12:48

Do you know who Shane Webke Cup ? Yeah , do you know who Shane Webke was ? No , he used to be a front row player for the Broncos , a very , very good player . He plays front row , like you .

Speaker 2 12:58

Number 15 .

Speaker 1 13:00

Yeah , well , he wears number 8 . He starts on the field number 8 or 10 .

Speaker 2 13:03

Because I used to be number 11 , but now I'm number 15 .

Speaker 1 13:13

And when you come on the field , do you ?

Speaker 2 13:14

go into the front row . Are you a forward ? I don't know yeah . I think you must be . I don't think we play the things , I think we just play by our numbers .

Speaker 1 13:23

Okay , so there's no actual positions ? Really just come in and play , oh , really Okay . Well , we still do , wingers I think , yeah , so know where to stand on the field , sort of thing . Oh , I'm glad you get to play with Shane Whippe Cup , that'll be fun , mm-hmm , put some shots on . Run some good lines , score some tries .

Speaker 2 13:43

Yeah , I probably will score some tries , but I haven't scored a try this season .

Speaker 1 13:48

I've scored about 10 tries against you this season At Dayborough Field , at North Lakes Field , at Caboolture . What Can't you remember ?

Speaker 2 13:57

Can't you remember ? Yeah , I'm not .

Speaker 1 13:59

I'm sure I've scored about 10 tries no , about 10 tries at your place , at Nan's place .

Speaker 2 14:03

No , but it's easy . No , you haven't Haven't I no , no , you haven't .

Speaker 1 14:06

Haven't I ? No , do you reckon I'm just dreaming ? Yeah , I'm going to score 10 tries today . Who's going to stop me ?

Speaker 2 14:14

I think I'm still better than you .

Speaker 1 14:17

Shh , don't tell people that on the podcast I'll lose all my credibility .

Speaker 2 14:22

So you're saying that You're a footy coach , aren't you ?

Speaker 1 14:26

Let's not talk about that . So how old are you now ?

Speaker 2 14:30

I'm eight .

Speaker 1 14:30

So you're saying an eight-year-old can beat me in football ? Yes , why are you laughing at me when you're saying that ?

Speaker 2 14:37

Because I'm telling the truth .

Speaker 1 14:39

But why are you laughing at me ? I don't know . Do you think it's funny that an eight-year-old beats a 50-year-old ? I'm going to try a chip and chase today A chip and chase .

Speaker 2 14:49

Do you know what that is ?

Speaker 1 14:49

Yes , you get your chips out and you throw them and you chase after them .

Speaker 2 14:53

You chip the ball . You kick him , but you chip it and then you try and run after it and then put it down .

Speaker 1 15:01

I'm going to do that today .

Speaker 2 15:03

You know , because I'm going to get the ball before you do ?

Speaker 1 15:05

Oh , you're very competitive , aren't you ? How about you do something different ? How about you just let me win and make me feel good ?

Speaker 2 15:11

How about you go hard on me ? Because I still think , if you run hard on me , I'm still going to be better than you . Oh , I always go hard on you and .

Speaker 1 15:22

I still win . What are you laughing for again ?

Speaker 2 15:24

I'm not , you're laughing at me . You go hard on me and I still win . I'm going

Arcade Adventures and Football Challenge

Speaker 2 15:31

easy on you what ?

Speaker 1 15:33

You're actually going easy on me and you're still winning Pretty much . Oh my gosh , how embarrassing . This is embarrassing for me . I need to have two players .

Speaker 2 15:41

Yeah .

Speaker 1 15:42

Maybe it can be Nan and I versus you .

Speaker 2 15:44

I think I'll still win .

Speaker 1 15:45

I'm going to ask Nan if is she going to play for me today .

Speaker 2 15:49

Yeah , I think you might need someone else and you can play with Talia .

Speaker 1 15:52

You can have brother , sister love .

Speaker 2 15:54

No , I think it would be 1v2 . I think that would be fair .

Speaker 1 15:58

All right .

Speaker 2 15:58

Because I'm still going to beat you guys .

Speaker 1 16:01

Very competitive . I like that , all right . Well , should we get ready and get ready for Mars ? Put our suits on , we're not going to Mars . We're going to Planet Arcade . We're going to get our suits on our astronaut suit .

Speaker 2 16:12

No , we're going to get ready . Where does the rocket leave from ? We're not going on a rocket . We're going to the North .

Speaker 1 16:24

Lakes Centre . Why would we catch a rocket to North Lakes when it's just there ?

Speaker 2 16:27

We're walking there .

Speaker 1 16:29

I would rather catch a rocket , to be honest , Like it'd be more fun . So you crash into it , you don't have to crash you just up and down , straight down , you would land , it would break it . Yeah , true . And it would probably fall over because you need metal . Yeah , that's true . I didn't think of that .

Speaker 2 16:48

For it to land . Yeah , we would probably crash the whole building too .

Speaker 1 16:54

Probably put a big hole through the building , wouldn't we ? Yeah , probably We'd go straight to the movie theatre . People would be watching the movie . Next thing they know a big rocket goes through the screen .

Speaker 2 17:01

That would be weird and they're like cool movie .

Speaker 1 17:05

Alright . So two things are going to happen today , this afternoon . One , you're going to let me beat you at Planet Arcade games and two , you're going to let me beat you in football today .

Speaker 2 17:14
