Once again, 7 00:00:23,654 --> 00:00:27,415 I'm Jordan the Bunker, the podcast studio with the one and only mister 8 00:00:27,415 --> 00:00:30,970 Dale Sidebottom. Good day, mate. How are you? Campbell, very good. Thank you. Another week. 9 00:00:30,970 --> 00:00:34,730 Another podcast. Another week. Exciting. I know. I'm glad having them back. I love getting 10 00:00:34,730 --> 00:00:37,610 the shoe over there every week again. It's bloody brilliant after our slow start to 11 00:00:37,610 --> 00:00:40,795 the year. Yes. We are back pumping them out. Yeah. It's, 12 00:00:41,275 --> 00:00:45,035 time flies as you know, and we, what is Easter Easter holidays are upon 13 00:00:45,035 --> 00:00:48,735 us soon, which is super exciting with families and educators and people 14 00:00:48,795 --> 00:00:51,755 everywhere except for those people that don't get holidays and then they hate them. But, 15 00:00:52,315 --> 00:00:55,930 yeah. It's the only time when we sort of been a teacher. Yeah. 16 00:00:56,710 --> 00:01:00,550 Let's be honest. The, the holidays don't think outweighs everything else about it. So 17 00:01:00,790 --> 00:01:04,470 I I just, I just remember how excited you used to get, 18 00:01:04,470 --> 00:01:07,750 like so this is going at next week, but this is the last week of 19 00:01:07,750 --> 00:01:11,585 term and you just get so excited about it. It's like, it's 20 00:01:11,585 --> 00:01:15,425 almost like approaching finals in '46, isn't it? It's like, oh, it is 21 00:01:15,425 --> 00:01:18,385 really it is. When you're in it, it is. I'll tell you what, when the 22 00:01:18,385 --> 00:01:21,745 educators and students are still in the thick of it, I guarantee this week leading 23 00:01:21,745 --> 00:01:24,608 into it, they wake up, it's like like last week, even my kids every every 24 00:01:24,608 --> 00:01:27,773 morning like, last week of school or the holidays, and they're only in prep in 25 00:01:27,773 --> 00:01:31,150 grade one and they're already frothing them. You know what I mean? Countdown already. Yeah. 26 00:01:31,150 --> 00:01:34,526 So There you go. Yeah. I mean, nothing's quite the same feeling as that last 27 00:01:34,526 --> 00:01:37,691 week of term four when you know you've got five or six weeks of summer 28 00:01:37,691 --> 00:01:41,284 holidays off, but, I think most people will be very excited about the couple of 29 00:01:41,284 --> 00:01:44,645 weeks off and recharging the batteries and getting some good family time in. That's for 30 00:01:44,645 --> 00:01:47,365 sure. No doubt. And then waiting for that little furry thing to come around and 31 00:01:47,365 --> 00:01:51,125 deliver a heap of chocolate. So, mate, let's get into it. You got some stats 32 00:01:51,125 --> 00:01:54,810 and then, I'm pretty sure you're gonna read out some stats about, our term 33 00:01:54,810 --> 00:01:58,090 one. Yes. If you're gonna do that, then do yours first. But, 34 00:01:58,890 --> 00:02:02,409 yeah, epic term one. It's been an amazing been amazing. I'll leave it there, and, 35 00:02:02,890 --> 00:02:05,850 you go for it, great man. But, first and foremost, we have a a long 36 00:02:05,850 --> 00:02:09,625 time listener, listens every week. First time caller. Long time listener, first time 37 00:02:09,625 --> 00:02:13,225 caller. He often actually sends him messages and whatnot, which is beautiful. 38 00:02:13,385 --> 00:02:16,905 The one and only Nick Roche, and Roche took 39 00:02:16,905 --> 00:02:20,620 the time and the effort to create an intro for it. There's 40 00:02:20,620 --> 00:02:24,300 a lot of time in it. Yeah. Rochi put more effort in than I 41 00:02:24,300 --> 00:02:27,260 do. It does. And he literally messaged us and said, hey, I've got I've got 42 00:02:27,260 --> 00:02:31,100 an intro for episode 357. It hasn't yet been recorded. Well, Rochi, the good 43 00:02:31,100 --> 00:02:34,505 news is we are recording it right now. So you got in just in time, 44 00:02:34,505 --> 00:02:37,225 and he goes, I won't be offended, but I'll I'll create a little intro for 45 00:02:37,225 --> 00:02:39,705 you. And so I'll read it out because he's gone to the effort to make 46 00:02:39,705 --> 00:02:43,545 it for us. So, 03/1957 is the amount of runs that the 47 00:02:43,545 --> 00:02:47,385 mighty Hyatt West Cricket Club just defended in the Sea Cup Pullen 48 00:02:47,385 --> 00:02:51,040 Shield grand final to win back to back flags. Well done, hold 49 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:54,640 on. Unbelievably, the opening partnership between 50 00:02:54,640 --> 00:02:57,360 Benny McDonald and Christian McInerney was 51 00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:01,120 310, with Benny McDonald knocking out a 83 and 52 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:04,855 Christian a 12. That's a bloody good effort. That's an impressive opening stand. Isn't 53 00:03:04,855 --> 00:03:08,615 it? One more run than Mornings Junior Club 54 00:03:08,615 --> 00:03:12,455 East Sandringham made in total against us. So congratulations to 55 00:03:12,455 --> 00:03:16,215 the Hyatt West Cricket Club who, went back to back 56 00:03:16,215 --> 00:03:19,890 in the cricket grand finals, made 357 and obviously 57 00:03:19,890 --> 00:03:23,650 knocked off, East Sandringham for 309, 58 00:03:23,650 --> 00:03:27,010 I imagine. And then he's gone a little bit on another 59 00:03:27,010 --> 00:03:30,849 tangent. The number thrown in 57 in numerology glows 60 00:03:30,849 --> 00:03:34,415 with energies of care for others. The number suggests 61 00:03:34,475 --> 00:03:37,915 an ability at an emotional level to have an active 62 00:03:37,915 --> 00:03:41,595 connection to the emotions and thoughts of others. There we 63 00:03:41,595 --> 00:03:44,955 go. Very nice. Beautiful. That flows in pretty well to the first thing I wanna 64 00:03:44,955 --> 00:03:48,780 talk about. Now you're surprised when you walked into my house and you saw on 65 00:03:48,780 --> 00:03:52,500 a bench this birthday card. Yes. And I was baffled by this, but 66 00:03:52,620 --> 00:03:55,580 and first of all, thank you to everybody that reached out for the messages and 67 00:03:55,580 --> 00:03:59,100 calls for my fortieth. It was, it's always really nice. So I do 68 00:03:59,100 --> 00:04:02,655 appreciate that, but I got this one card in the mail 69 00:04:02,655 --> 00:04:06,495 that I was so perplexed about. It just blew my mind. And 70 00:04:06,495 --> 00:04:09,855 it was from a local member of MP that had 71 00:04:09,855 --> 00:04:13,055 handwritten a birthday card to me. And it wasn't 72 00:04:15,190 --> 00:04:19,029 it might have been for a special occasion, but it was the most bizarre thing 73 00:04:19,029 --> 00:04:21,990 ever. And I asked you, have you ever had one? You said, no. Bring my 74 00:04:21,990 --> 00:04:25,750 wife. So, like, why have you got that? And I I still don't know why 75 00:04:25,750 --> 00:04:29,565 I got this handwritten birthday card from a local member. I 76 00:04:29,565 --> 00:04:33,405 agree. I met this No. Member. Honorable Mark someone. I walked in your 77 00:04:33,405 --> 00:04:36,705 kitchen. I saw it there, picked it up, and went, why is someone of parliament 78 00:04:36,765 --> 00:04:40,525 sending you a handwritten birthday card? No. I've never 79 00:04:40,525 --> 00:04:43,445 heard of anyone get anyone. I only hear hear of When you hit a hundred. 80 00:04:43,565 --> 00:04:47,110 When you hit a hundred. Yeah. My, yeah, my great grandmother 81 00:04:47,170 --> 00:04:49,970 reached a ton raise of that, and she got a letter from the queen Yeah. 82 00:04:50,130 --> 00:04:53,810 Back then, but not, a handwritten one from someone in parliament. Anyway No. 83 00:04:53,890 --> 00:04:57,525 If anyone's got one of these, let me know. Still 84 00:04:58,065 --> 00:05:01,185 keep it on looking. I still don't really understand why I got it. Mate, they're 85 00:05:01,185 --> 00:05:05,025 watching. They're watching. They're keeping tabs on you. They're watching. They know what's going 86 00:05:05,025 --> 00:05:08,785 on. That goes well with the glowing energy. I must have some glowing energy. You 87 00:05:08,785 --> 00:05:12,610 must have some glowing energy. And Mark, the honorable Mark, someone from the from 88 00:05:12,610 --> 00:05:16,210 the parliament has connected with you. Yeah. He literally sent you a handwritten Yeah. 89 00:05:16,290 --> 00:05:18,530 Birthday card. With his picture on it. So I don't know if you want me 90 00:05:18,530 --> 00:05:20,930 to vote for him or if the election's coming up. It is coming out soon, 91 00:05:20,930 --> 00:05:24,450 isn't it? Won't be talking about politics, but good morning, Mark. Appreciate the handwritten note. 92 00:05:24,450 --> 00:05:27,935 No. I love it. I love it. Stats. Go for it. Stats. Oh, that's right. 93 00:05:27,935 --> 00:05:31,055 Stats. Romy stats. Here we go. So our term one in 94 00:05:31,055 --> 00:05:34,735 2025 stats, really impressive actually. So we've 95 00:05:34,735 --> 00:05:38,360 impacted just over 3,400 students. Whoo. 96 00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:41,800 So over three just close to three and a half thousand young people. Primary school 97 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:45,400 and secondary? Primary and secondary school have been impacted by programs in term 98 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:49,000 one, in fifty days of school, which is bloody unbelievable. I've 99 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,599 had just over 830 staff have gone through some of our 100 00:05:52,599 --> 00:05:56,335 staff workshops. Wow. So think about the reach those 830 staff are 101 00:05:56,335 --> 00:06:00,095 then having with the amount of students in their care. Yep. Generally, each staff member, 102 00:06:00,095 --> 00:06:03,475 if you're in secondary, teaches about a hundred hundred kids, so it's pretty bloody massive. 103 00:06:03,854 --> 00:06:07,450 We've connected we worked with 38 schools in term 104 00:06:07,450 --> 00:06:10,810 one. That's awesome. Why did you say fifty days? Yeah. Well, there's fifty days in 105 00:06:10,810 --> 00:06:14,270 term, generally. Yeah. We have been busy. We have been busy. 106 00:06:14,730 --> 00:06:18,410 We're just crazy. Multiple states. Multiple states. Three different states. 107 00:06:18,410 --> 00:06:21,985 We've worked we've delivered 11 student leadership workshops. 108 00:06:21,985 --> 00:06:25,825 That's 11, emerging leadership workshops we've run, 109 00:06:25,825 --> 00:06:29,425 next gen and and student agency workshops. We've worked 110 00:06:29,425 --> 00:06:33,205 with 250 just over 250 principals at principal conferences. 111 00:06:33,409 --> 00:06:36,689 Wow. So that's a lot of principals that are then hopefully going back and, you 112 00:06:36,689 --> 00:06:40,289 know, passing on the knowledge I've learned from us and impacting their staff and their 113 00:06:40,289 --> 00:06:44,050 students and their school communities in a really positive way. And we picked 114 00:06:44,050 --> 00:06:47,509 up seven corporate gigs as well throughout the term, which is 115 00:06:47,650 --> 00:06:51,325 bloody unreal. So in terms of stats, ten weeks busy 116 00:06:51,325 --> 00:06:54,685 term, but we have been off to an absolute fly, but I'm just really 117 00:06:54,685 --> 00:06:58,525 proud, you know, just close to three and a half thousand young people that we've 118 00:06:58,525 --> 00:07:02,205 impacted and hopefully just planted one little seed Yeah. To help make 119 00:07:02,205 --> 00:07:05,670 them the best version themselves, is really cool. Term 120 00:07:05,670 --> 00:07:08,730 two, dare I say it. It's quite scary. Sorry, wives. 121 00:07:09,510 --> 00:07:13,350 It's the first six weeks. I'd say this. I'm not gonna listen. The first 122 00:07:13,350 --> 00:07:17,110 six weeks are pretty much absolutely fully booked of 123 00:07:17,110 --> 00:07:20,625 term two. And we are driving here, there, and 124 00:07:20,625 --> 00:07:24,465 everywhere. Lots of rules, trips. But I dare say the numbers for 125 00:07:24,465 --> 00:07:28,305 term two will probably nudge if not surpassed. I reckon they will. Yeah. They will 126 00:07:28,305 --> 00:07:31,745 definitely will. Which is which is super exciting. So everyone out there who's booked us 127 00:07:31,745 --> 00:07:35,270 in, who's worked with us, who shown us, support, thank you so much. We love 128 00:07:35,270 --> 00:07:39,110 it. And, yeah, hopefully, those three and a half thousand young people we've 129 00:07:39,110 --> 00:07:42,230 impacted on, we've put a bit of a spring in their step. But, yeah, really, 130 00:07:42,230 --> 00:07:45,910 really proud. Honestly, really proud of it. It's awesome. Great start. Great start to the 131 00:07:45,910 --> 00:07:49,205 year, mate. It is, isn't it? I came across as, 132 00:07:49,525 --> 00:07:52,085 a bit of a quote before and you and I talked about this a fair 133 00:07:52,085 --> 00:07:55,925 bit, and I also need to think about in my own life as well 134 00:07:55,925 --> 00:07:59,444 as much as I can. But, the quote was simply is the cure to 135 00:07:59,444 --> 00:08:03,107 boredom is curiosity. And you and I talk about this so much, and 136 00:08:03,107 --> 00:08:06,345 you said the other day, you know, when you're on the train or whatever it 137 00:08:06,345 --> 00:08:09,583 was, or someone got up and left, you know, you're at a cafe. Yeah. Every 138 00:08:09,583 --> 00:08:12,822 time. So every time I'm in a cafe or a restaurant or I'm having a 139 00:08:12,822 --> 00:08:16,060 meeting or somewhere with somebody, I'm really aware when the person I'm with, if they 140 00:08:16,060 --> 00:08:19,875 go to do something or they go to the toilet or I, like, 141 00:08:19,875 --> 00:08:22,755 I literally I have my phone no one near me. So I do not pick 142 00:08:22,755 --> 00:08:26,035 it up. I don't wanna look at it because I just wanna stay present for 143 00:08:26,035 --> 00:08:29,794 that time. I can check it afterwards. Yep. But it's amazing how many times somebody 144 00:08:29,794 --> 00:08:33,400 gets up and the first thing when that person leaves, they grab their 145 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:37,160 phone instantly. And it's the same thing when you see kids walking down the 146 00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:40,280 street now, they're on their phone. Adults are the same, walking their dog, they're on 147 00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:43,960 the phone. They're waiting at a bus stop, they're on their phone. Public transport, 148 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:47,395 wherever that might be, any opportunity that you are not 149 00:08:47,395 --> 00:08:51,155 engaged now, you're grabbing that phone, which means the number 150 00:08:51,155 --> 00:08:54,755 one thing that allows creativity to occur is boredom. And you were 151 00:08:54,755 --> 00:08:57,735 talking about the other day with, obviously, your oldest hunter, 152 00:08:58,610 --> 00:09:01,889 the the moment they get bored, they don't allow it because they're gonna do something 153 00:09:01,889 --> 00:09:04,769 else. Yep. Tell that story out there, actually. They get bored, they they gotta be 154 00:09:04,769 --> 00:09:07,730 bored and he's like, hey. Can I go watch some TV? And and we we 155 00:09:07,730 --> 00:09:10,290 went, yeah. You know, go go watch some TV. And he and he slumped in 156 00:09:10,290 --> 00:09:13,975 the chair and he got the, you know, Netflix on, The 157 00:09:13,975 --> 00:09:17,335 Investigators is a show that he loves watching and he sat there and watched few 158 00:09:17,335 --> 00:09:20,615 episodes. And, and I was sitting there thinking to myself, jeepers, we probably got that 159 00:09:20,615 --> 00:09:24,375 wrong. Because it was only about, you know, 04:30, quarter to five in the afternoon 160 00:09:24,375 --> 00:09:26,775 and we generally a bit better than that. We generally go, nah, you know, no 161 00:09:26,775 --> 00:09:30,140 TV time till after dinner. But we gotta be lazy in that account, which is 162 00:09:30,140 --> 00:09:33,420 fair enough. But Every now and then is okay. Yeah. But just there there and 163 00:09:33,420 --> 00:09:37,180 then, like, fifth ten years ago, eight years ago, whatever have been 164 00:09:37,180 --> 00:09:40,860 without Netflix around or those things where, you know, kids have 165 00:09:40,860 --> 00:09:44,634 got instant access to their favorite TV shows. If you and I did that 166 00:09:44,634 --> 00:09:48,074 when our kids and we jumped on the TV, nothing's on. Probably switch it off 167 00:09:48,074 --> 00:09:51,514 and go and do something creative. Because there's only five channels. Yeah. There was bugger 168 00:09:51,514 --> 00:09:54,954 all. But nowadays, these young people have either got access to Netflix or the social 169 00:09:54,954 --> 00:09:58,279 media straight away, and so do adults as well. So instead of getting bored, you're 170 00:09:58,279 --> 00:10:02,040 just jumping on, you've got instant entertainment for what you want. Yeah. And so 171 00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:05,640 therefore you're not getting bored. And I'm a I'm I'm the same. This is what 172 00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:08,940 made me think about this. I need to get better at this myself. Like, 173 00:10:09,399 --> 00:10:12,380 even last night alone, I can probably think of four instances 174 00:10:13,025 --> 00:10:16,065 where I had a little lulling proceedings, and I did. And I picked up my 175 00:10:16,065 --> 00:10:19,905 phone and had a little scroll. If I'd used those four times just to pick 176 00:10:19,905 --> 00:10:23,745 up my guitar that was sitting in the corner of the family area, that hasn't 177 00:10:23,745 --> 00:10:26,960 been picked up for quite some time. I think my, I think my two year 178 00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:30,560 old picked it up. He did. He did. He did. And I picked that up 179 00:10:30,560 --> 00:10:33,600 those four times and just played around with it for the two or three minutes. 180 00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:36,960 Had little island proceedings. That's twelve minutes in total. That would have been twelve minutes 181 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:40,800 of guitar practice they would have had. Yep. Twelve minutes of my kids see 182 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:44,154 me practice the guitar and go on, gee. Does that look cool? Maybe I'll pick 183 00:10:44,154 --> 00:10:47,935 up mine. Yeah. But no. Instead, I did a mindless, 184 00:10:48,075 --> 00:10:51,515 numbness activity, got nothing out of it. My kids probably saw me a couple of 185 00:10:51,515 --> 00:10:55,355 times flicking through my phone. Who knows what they thought? Probably not 186 00:10:55,355 --> 00:10:58,500 positive things. Yeah. Of course. Yeah. So I'm putting my hand up as well, 187 00:10:59,060 --> 00:11:02,840 that I need to get a bit more comfortable with being bored in inverted brackets 188 00:11:02,980 --> 00:11:05,940 and then being curious when I get bored and going to do something a bit 189 00:11:05,940 --> 00:11:09,780 more worthwhile than scrolling through my phone. But it's such an 190 00:11:09,780 --> 00:11:12,580 easy thing to fall into. It is, mate. It is. But you gotta be aware 191 00:11:12,580 --> 00:11:16,355 of it. And, I've been the same. So I deliberately don't 192 00:11:16,355 --> 00:11:19,875 take my phone with me any like, a lot of places now. I've noticed that, 193 00:11:19,875 --> 00:11:21,795 actually. Yeah. I've noticed that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Actually, you left the other day and 194 00:11:21,795 --> 00:11:23,875 you said I'm leaving my phone here. Yeah. I was just Yeah. And you took 195 00:11:23,875 --> 00:11:26,515 off without it. Yeah. Because I don't need it. Yeah. Why do I need it? 196 00:11:26,515 --> 00:11:29,440 Like, I don't need to take it with me. So a lot of places don't 197 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:32,960 take it now. And one thing I've started doing, if I do get a little 198 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:36,720 bit bored, I've dice like, because, obviously, I like to be creative, and I'm 199 00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:40,480 really, really trying to find ways that obviously, a lot of our 200 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:44,295 games are suited, you know, to primary school and above. Having 201 00:11:44,295 --> 00:11:48,135 a four and a two year old, I know the power of what play can 202 00:11:48,135 --> 00:11:51,575 do and dice. But I don't want just wanna do puzzles or, you 203 00:11:51,575 --> 00:11:55,415 know, I wanna do really creative educational games that they don't realize 204 00:11:55,415 --> 00:11:59,080 they're learning. So, the other night, I found a bigger dice so the boys can 205 00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:02,360 count the numbers on them. And, obviously, they don't know what the numbers look like 206 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:05,320 yet, but they can count them because they're big. And so I made up a 207 00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:08,680 game. I was like, I allowed myself to be bored because then I was allowed 208 00:12:08,680 --> 00:12:12,025 to get creative. And I was so proud of myself that I created this game 209 00:12:12,025 --> 00:12:15,625 called Dice Jenga Towers where you have a Jenga set, which a lot of 210 00:12:15,625 --> 00:12:19,465 people do. Mhmm. And you have one six sided dice. And I played it last 211 00:12:19,465 --> 00:12:23,145 night with family. You put all the Jenga pieces in the middle and 212 00:12:23,145 --> 00:12:26,850 everybody takes in turn as a rolling the dice. The highest number, that's 213 00:12:26,850 --> 00:12:30,690 who starts. So my two year old, Benjo, he got highest number so 214 00:12:30,690 --> 00:12:33,250 he rolled. He didn't really sort of get it but he did. And then he 215 00:12:33,250 --> 00:12:35,970 then he would start and he rolled. He got a five. So he would take 216 00:12:35,970 --> 00:12:39,565 five Jenga blocks. Yep. Then I roll, I got a one. I remember Vivo leaks. 217 00:12:39,565 --> 00:12:43,404 I'm like, oh, not competitive, but I am. That gets my two year old for 218 00:12:43,404 --> 00:12:46,045 him. For him, I wanted to beat him. It's so good. And so then I 219 00:12:46,045 --> 00:12:49,245 got one, and we kept going until the whole set of Jenga blocks was gone. 220 00:12:49,245 --> 00:12:53,080 And then I set a two minute timer, and it was whoever could build 221 00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:56,839 the highest freestanding Jenga tower with their blocks. And it 222 00:12:56,839 --> 00:13:00,680 was really fascinating to see that, obviously, I 223 00:13:00,680 --> 00:13:04,355 didn't get as many and neither did, Banjo, a two year old. And just the 224 00:13:04,355 --> 00:13:07,714 way he was building his compared to others because he didn't have many. Yep. 225 00:13:08,035 --> 00:13:11,095 Shout out to bring my wife. She won. I love them. But it was 226 00:13:11,795 --> 00:13:15,175 the whole element behind it. If you think about it, rolling the dice, 227 00:13:15,315 --> 00:13:18,899 everyone like, each time the kids would have to count it, like, and 228 00:13:18,899 --> 00:13:22,260 they'll pick them out for us. So there's so many, like, 229 00:13:22,260 --> 00:13:26,019 learning, you know, that cognitive development layers within that that 230 00:13:26,019 --> 00:13:28,660 just so I didn't even realize. And I could see Bree looking going, wow. This 231 00:13:28,660 --> 00:13:31,880 is actually really good. Yeah. And then when you set the two minute timer, 232 00:13:32,274 --> 00:13:35,315 everybody still got the chance to win. It's just how brave you are. And I 233 00:13:35,315 --> 00:13:38,755 know we recorded the video this morning and in that you won and Yeah. I 234 00:13:38,755 --> 00:13:42,515 just had to be brave because I didn't have many. So such a 235 00:13:42,515 --> 00:13:46,195 powerful game that and it works so well. If you've got young kids out 236 00:13:46,195 --> 00:13:49,980 there, go, if you just go into YouTube and type in Dale Sidebottom, 237 00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:53,880 Dice Jenga Towers, we recorded that this morning 238 00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:57,820 Yep. And we've shared it on there. It's a brilliant game, particularly, 239 00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:01,704 I think it worked for your boys, but we're all for anyone. Anyway great with 240 00:14:01,704 --> 00:14:04,904 them, but they're they're playing, some of our other games, which are a little bit 241 00:14:04,904 --> 00:14:08,024 more advanced from our curriculum, which is great Yeah. Because it's been awesome to test 242 00:14:08,024 --> 00:14:11,704 them out. But for where I've been trying to incorporate what we 243 00:14:11,704 --> 00:14:15,410 do with younger kids, That this game works so well. 244 00:14:15,410 --> 00:14:18,370 Yeah. And it was and we'll use it again. The I know we'll play it 245 00:14:18,370 --> 00:14:21,649 again tonight. Yeah. So if you if you do have young kids or even if 246 00:14:21,649 --> 00:14:24,290 you don't, give it a try. It's actually a really fun one. And I know 247 00:14:24,290 --> 00:14:27,884 you said why don't we could we play with Lego? And you could, but 248 00:14:28,264 --> 00:14:32,105 Lego, you stack it on. It's locked in place. It's secure. I think that's the 249 00:14:32,105 --> 00:14:35,565 biggest thing I loved about this game was watching the two boys 250 00:14:36,345 --> 00:14:39,225 think about how they were going to build it and were they just gonna be 251 00:14:39,225 --> 00:14:42,650 risky or were they gonna build a foundation and do it? With their little engineering 252 00:14:42,650 --> 00:14:44,650 minds kicked in. So many. You know what I mean? And it's just got wind 253 00:14:44,650 --> 00:14:47,530 up because they just sort of click, click, click, click, and the the what do 254 00:14:47,530 --> 00:14:50,510 you call them? The nodules would have done it together for them, whatever they're called. 255 00:14:50,890 --> 00:14:54,330 But, yeah, with the Jenga blocks, you've gotta be strategic and think about engineering and 256 00:14:54,330 --> 00:14:56,855 a good base support and you get it. So, yeah, you're right. The layers on 257 00:14:56,855 --> 00:15:00,135 it And it was just so it was amazing to watch. Like, in a 258 00:15:00,214 --> 00:15:03,834 like, I was just like, I need to do more of that 259 00:15:04,135 --> 00:15:07,175 to try more of these because I know it'll work if it works for my 260 00:15:07,175 --> 00:15:10,660 family, it'll work for others. And so, yes, we'll work in our business, but probably 261 00:15:10,660 --> 00:15:14,500 more the people that matter the most to me in the world, it 262 00:15:14,500 --> 00:15:18,100 made a difference for them. Yeah. And I was I actually felt really proud. I 263 00:15:18,100 --> 00:15:20,900 said, I know I emailed you and I said, mate, I would get around, like, 264 00:15:20,900 --> 00:15:24,305 as if you care. Like, I know you do care, but it was just something 265 00:15:24,365 --> 00:15:27,745 I truly felt so good about. Yeah. And so many parents 266 00:15:28,045 --> 00:15:31,725 struggle to play, especially play outside. Like, a lot of 267 00:15:31,725 --> 00:15:34,765 parents you can see boring, mate. I don't even wanna play imaginary cups of tea. 268 00:15:34,765 --> 00:15:37,240 Yeah. But not even that like, even beyond that, like, a lot of kids will, 269 00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:40,680 you know, you know, dad come play basketball or mom come kick soccer ball with 270 00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:42,680 it. And a lot of parents come you see it, they're, like, kind of roll 271 00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:45,800 their eyes and go, oh, that's a lot of effort. I do that too. I 272 00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:48,705 know we would be. I get what you're saying. So many parents struggle who aren't 273 00:15:48,705 --> 00:15:51,825 sporty, but it might be and think to go out and have physical exertion Yeah. 274 00:15:51,905 --> 00:15:54,385 Is hard and more often than not, they'd probably give them ten minutes or probably 275 00:15:54,385 --> 00:15:58,225 say, no. Listen, I'm too busy. But this sort of play is you get the 276 00:15:58,225 --> 00:16:01,665 same benefits of the connection. Your kids still go, holy smoke. My parents are playing 277 00:16:01,665 --> 00:16:05,120 with me, and that's all I want in life. But it makes 278 00:16:05,420 --> 00:16:07,980 play a lot easier for a lot of parents because you're sitting at a table, 279 00:16:07,980 --> 00:16:11,740 you're using dash, you're using cards, whatever it might be. But the cognitive 280 00:16:11,740 --> 00:16:15,340 development's there, strategic development's there, and the connections of families there. So you get all 281 00:16:15,340 --> 00:16:18,615 those amazing benefits. So if you sit there and you struggle a little bit with 282 00:16:18,615 --> 00:16:22,375 that notion of playing with your kids and this hard yakka, go to some 283 00:16:22,375 --> 00:16:25,335 classics. Go to some classic card games or put your own spin on it. Yeah. 284 00:16:25,495 --> 00:16:28,295 That's what we've been doing a heap lately. You know, the Uno Roll that we 285 00:16:28,295 --> 00:16:31,440 create. We create a game called Uno Roll of the classic Uno game. 286 00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:35,440 Bloody unbelievable. You know what I mean? So as a parent, get creative. It goes 287 00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:38,880 back to the boredom thing, and try and think of a of a new game 288 00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:41,280 that you can create and play with your kids, and then go and play with 289 00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:44,160 them. Get some food. Go and check out the one that I created last night 290 00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:47,185 on YouTube because that work with a four and a two year old, so it'll 291 00:16:47,185 --> 00:16:50,704 work with anyone. And it'll just it'll be just as engaging. Mhmm. 292 00:16:51,024 --> 00:16:54,485 So, yeah, to bring all that back to what you're saying is 293 00:16:54,944 --> 00:16:58,464 by allowing yourself to be bored, then you get creative, and then you can do 294 00:16:58,464 --> 00:17:02,180 something productive instead of scrolling. Yeah. And I think that's yeah. I 295 00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:05,039 I was horrible at it because I was just lazy. Yep. You know, it's like 296 00:17:05,039 --> 00:17:07,440 at the end of the day, we all can relate to it. You do. And 297 00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:10,179 you wanna switch off a bit too. But then I was like, I'm not enjoying 298 00:17:10,319 --> 00:17:14,155 between six and seven every night because it's crazy hours. So I'm like, let's 299 00:17:14,155 --> 00:17:17,675 do something you do well, make it a more enjoyable experience. And it was a 300 00:17:17,675 --> 00:17:21,115 great evening last night. Yeah. But you have to be intentional with it. And that 301 00:17:21,115 --> 00:17:24,875 meant that, yeah, I had to be bored to get creative. So you've been 302 00:17:24,875 --> 00:17:28,160 curious, creative, bored, whatever it might be, allow yourself to do it. Yep. And I'm 303 00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:29,920 gonna take a leaf out of my own book, and I'm gonna try and be 304 00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:33,520 more intentional with it. I love that you leave your phone at home a lot 305 00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:36,560 or leave it away, and so I'm gonna be more intentional with that. And I 306 00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:38,480 will check back in a few weeks and let you know if I picked up 307 00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:41,325 the guitar of mine. That'll be a good practice. Can I need to? Song, mate. 308 00:17:41,404 --> 00:17:44,845 I never said, oh, sing a song. I got one for you too, 309 00:17:44,845 --> 00:17:48,144 right? Chocolate fundraising 310 00:17:48,205 --> 00:17:51,644 boxes. Now Yep. I'm not happy with 311 00:17:51,644 --> 00:17:55,245 these. Okay. So I get it's great to raise money, 312 00:17:55,245 --> 00:17:59,059 everything like that. Awesome. Now we didn't sell all that. That's fine. Are these the 313 00:17:59,059 --> 00:18:02,019 Easter eggs that I bought for kids? So you bought some. Yeah. Thank you. You 314 00:18:02,019 --> 00:18:05,380 bought some. So I still got about six packets left. Good to know. So the 315 00:18:05,380 --> 00:18:09,140 place the place we were doing it for, you're not allowed to take in the 316 00:18:09,140 --> 00:18:12,945 money and the coins and things. They wanted a bank transfer. So 317 00:18:12,945 --> 00:18:16,625 not only now Oh. Do I have all these crap coins that I can't use 318 00:18:16,625 --> 00:18:19,685 for anything. Because what could you spend on coins? We got all these 319 00:18:20,225 --> 00:18:23,520 excess chocolate because we didn't sell them, and that hasn't been good because I just 320 00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:27,120 keep eating them. It's like the worst thing you have possibly have leading 321 00:18:27,120 --> 00:18:30,960 into Easter. I'm already just banging down so many. But 322 00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:34,720 then also now I'm out of pocket $80, and I've got all these kind 323 00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:37,600 of coins. I must admit I didn't know I haven't been involved in one of 324 00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:40,264 these across the time. I didn't know you weren't allowed to hand back the little 325 00:18:40,460 --> 00:18:43,590 No. No. The little plastic pocket on these kids. But they said no. We want 326 00:18:43,590 --> 00:18:46,525 bank transfer. That's ridiculous. I was like, well, jeez. That's ridiculous. Well, the only thing 327 00:18:46,525 --> 00:18:49,656 you can use those gold coins for, mate, is that They're not even gold. They're 328 00:18:49,656 --> 00:18:52,440 bloody silver. You know what? Just use them as bribery for your kids. Oh, I 329 00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:55,639 know. When they do something awesome, here's a dollar. When they do something new, bribe 330 00:18:55,639 --> 00:18:59,320 them into doing amazing things. But, do you not have, like, a little 331 00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:01,720 piggy bank thing that you fill up in at the end of the cash, you 332 00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:05,240 didn't even get the item? Cash anymore. Yeah. That's true. I literally don't use 333 00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:08,375 cash. Yeah. That is I'll be honest with you. I think it's a bit disappointing 334 00:19:08,434 --> 00:19:12,054 that the young kids go in and collect the money, which is normally change or 335 00:19:12,115 --> 00:19:15,554 notes, and then they don't get the joy of going and handing that in anymore. 336 00:19:15,554 --> 00:19:18,914 Correct. I did a bank transfer last night. Yeah. That's no good. And then I 337 00:19:18,914 --> 00:19:22,720 had the money this morning, and Sonny goes, that's my money. I'm like, well, 338 00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:26,320 man, I'm actually out of pocket, and I've got chocolate now. I've got all these 339 00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:29,540 coins. So Son, that's not the only one. Keeping the coins, mate. 340 00:19:31,120 --> 00:19:34,000 So, anyway, there's a little pee out of my bonnet. I don't know if anyone 341 00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:37,735 else had the same experience. I've heard that people don't want heap of coins rocking 342 00:19:37,735 --> 00:19:41,115 in like that. At the end of the day, it's fundraising. Jeez. That that fundraising 343 00:19:41,575 --> 00:19:44,335 molars stood the test of time there, hasn't it? Hasn't what? Yeah. Isn't it? Well, 344 00:19:44,335 --> 00:19:47,735 I remember that. I remember being a student and and doing the old category fundraising 345 00:19:47,735 --> 00:19:51,030 boxes. Used to be $1 now. I don't know. They're they're, A bag of it. 346 00:19:51,110 --> 00:19:54,789 Bag, but it's $4. Like, obviously, cost of living is going up. I 347 00:19:54,789 --> 00:19:58,390 know. Oh, okay. Yeah. I'm I'll buy another bag. Okay. I got it. They're 348 00:19:58,390 --> 00:20:01,830 all they're all guiding my ass. Paper. So he's going to grab a bag. I 349 00:20:01,830 --> 00:20:05,345 love freaking I'll give me a free tip. Better. I love that. That's awesome. I 350 00:20:05,345 --> 00:20:08,145 actually bought something to say. That's all I've got. I don't appreciate that. You brought 351 00:20:08,145 --> 00:20:11,025 a couple of things. I didn't know. I just really proud of the game. So 352 00:20:11,025 --> 00:20:14,145 give that a try. That is awesome. That's all I've got. I'm gonna know now 353 00:20:14,145 --> 00:20:17,585 to be here. Oh, this part. Here we go. I'm nerding out on 354 00:20:17,585 --> 00:20:21,360 neurogenesis. As this summer came across 355 00:20:21,360 --> 00:20:24,419 me is from a lady called doctor Zara Swart. 356 00:20:25,279 --> 00:20:28,240 And she came across my ears and she's talking about neurogenesis for those you playing 357 00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:32,019 along at home. Neurogenesis is where new neural pathways 358 00:20:32,399 --> 00:20:36,015 are developed in the brain. In particularly, it's great for 359 00:20:36,015 --> 00:20:39,455 cognitive development, learning new things, memory retention, etcetera, 360 00:20:39,455 --> 00:20:43,215 etcetera. And they've done this massive study. And they simply found 361 00:20:43,215 --> 00:20:47,054 that if you, if young people, have just a very short 362 00:20:47,054 --> 00:20:50,490 amount of aerobic activity before 363 00:20:50,549 --> 00:20:54,390 learning, before any type of learning. They have a 13 to 364 00:20:54,390 --> 00:20:58,230 14% increase in retention and better so better memory 365 00:20:58,230 --> 00:21:01,830 retention and better learning capabilities just from doing some low to 366 00:21:01,830 --> 00:21:05,515 medium aerobic activity before doing the any 367 00:21:05,515 --> 00:21:08,015 type of learning. And I was sitting there thinking, man, 368 00:21:09,515 --> 00:21:11,995 why don't why aren't we doing that more in schools? Why aren't we doing that 369 00:21:11,995 --> 00:21:13,434 more in schools? Why aren't we doing that more in schools? Confused. Yeah. And I 370 00:21:13,434 --> 00:21:16,154 know we've got Matt, the principal coming up in a couple of weeks as a 371 00:21:16,154 --> 00:21:19,679 guest. It's very basic. Isn't it? Very simple. 372 00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:23,760 Class with five minutes worth of some real simple little light movement. Movement. And 373 00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:27,520 then you prime those. Yeah. Star jumps. Little chair squats. Yeah. Real basic 374 00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:31,360 stuff. Yeah. Get them get them walking around, whatever it is, full leader. Anything super 375 00:21:31,360 --> 00:21:35,195 simple. Just prime their brains five minutes of little activity first, and 376 00:21:35,195 --> 00:21:38,975 then all that benefits of of, you know, better memory retention, better learning capabilities. 377 00:21:40,635 --> 00:21:44,075 So we should be more intentional with that. Even for parents in home with homework 378 00:21:44,075 --> 00:21:47,615 and those sorts of things, you know, before homework time, whatever it might be, just 379 00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:51,720 encourage five, ten minutes worth of play. Because I know so many families where the 380 00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:54,840 kids get home and head down by much straight away, get home. Yeah. Homework times 381 00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:58,540 for an hour, whatever it might be. It's a little bit backwards now. So 382 00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:02,294 encourage a little bit of play first, a little activity, and then get your your 383 00:22:02,294 --> 00:22:06,054 kids learning things or doing their homework. But, yeah, neurogenesis learned that the other day 384 00:22:06,054 --> 00:22:08,534 walking walking my dog and I was like, man, that's really interesting. And then I 385 00:22:08,534 --> 00:22:11,895 love that's obviously what we do. Our curriculum is all about play and we have 386 00:22:11,895 --> 00:22:14,534 sneaky movement. We'd say a lot, we trick the kids into doing a bit of 387 00:22:14,534 --> 00:22:18,140 sneaky movement. We do. And so, yeah, I just think more schools and more 388 00:22:18,140 --> 00:22:21,980 homes could be a bit more intentional with thinking about, right, what's the best way 389 00:22:21,980 --> 00:22:25,340 for my kid to learn here, get a bit of oxygen flowing through their through 390 00:22:25,340 --> 00:22:28,720 their brains, through a little bit of sneaky movement, and then do the learning. 391 00:22:28,975 --> 00:22:32,815 Yeah. And that's and you were like, we're planning out the keynote that, 392 00:22:32,894 --> 00:22:36,575 we did last week to pit, the peninsula prince principles. Can't 393 00:22:36,575 --> 00:22:40,174 even spit it out. Had I talk for an hour up on stage. And there's 394 00:22:40,174 --> 00:22:43,680 this really simple game we play. And you're like, that's not the best game, but 395 00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:46,960 the reason behind it is because it does that. Yeah. Gets that little bit of 396 00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:50,320 movement going. Yep. And it's really simple game. It's called dice 397 00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:54,080 spinny. If you roll a six, you have to go, sucks. And you have 398 00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:57,455 to say it like that. And there's two fold of this. It allows them to 399 00:22:57,455 --> 00:23:00,415 be vulnerable in front of a group and be a little bit silly Yeah. Which 400 00:23:00,415 --> 00:23:03,855 is okay. But then they have to do either spins, squats, or star 401 00:23:03,855 --> 00:23:07,615 jumps. They're very nonthreatening simple movements that they can do. And 402 00:23:07,615 --> 00:23:10,710 once you've got them there, they've been vulnerable, they move their body, and then you 403 00:23:10,789 --> 00:23:14,230 can go into the next one. Yeah. So I think it's a great in anything 404 00:23:14,230 --> 00:23:17,590 like that that you can get moving or doing something. This is for adults as 405 00:23:17,590 --> 00:23:21,350 well. We gave them the option principles, 80 in the 406 00:23:21,350 --> 00:23:25,065 room, almost they're in suits. You know, nice dresses, things like that. We 407 00:23:25,065 --> 00:23:27,865 gave them the option that they didn't need to just do the movements. They could 408 00:23:27,865 --> 00:23:31,625 answer questions as well, but three quarters of them were doing the movements. Yep. 409 00:23:31,625 --> 00:23:35,305 And And even even the corporate world before your meetings, do something a little bit 410 00:23:35,305 --> 00:23:38,000 fun, a little bit little bit drove you all, gets a little bit of movement, 411 00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,840 a little bit of oxygen flowing, and then have your meeting in the corporate world. 412 00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:43,480 You know? It doesn't have to be serious whole time, but there's benefits from it 413 00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:47,160 as well. %. Yeah. Completely get it. What have you got nerd out? I like 414 00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:50,760 that nerd out. You like a nerd out? Neurogenesis, little bit of sneaky movement works 415 00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:53,685 a treat. What have you got to look what's coming up? What have you got 416 00:23:53,685 --> 00:23:57,405 to look for for me? Excited for next week's podcast. We've got Sean Bell 417 00:23:57,405 --> 00:24:01,005 on. If you go back, oh, I couldn't even tape it three or four years 418 00:24:01,005 --> 00:24:04,630 ago, I had Sean on. He's a good friend 419 00:24:04,630 --> 00:24:08,470 of a student I used to teach, Matt Sapala. Yeah. And I've 420 00:24:08,470 --> 00:24:12,310 mentored and helped Matt. He he was just the most beautiful student ever and, 421 00:24:12,310 --> 00:24:16,070 like, was a sponge. So he he used to come and watch all the boot 422 00:24:16,070 --> 00:24:19,755 camps and PT I did, and then he sort of followed then I helped him 423 00:24:19,755 --> 00:24:23,434 set his own up. And now he's running a really successful gym, and most of 424 00:24:23,434 --> 00:24:26,875 us is a really good human. Anyway, one of his good mates is Sean Bell, 425 00:24:26,875 --> 00:24:30,475 and, he introduced me to him when Sean did 50 426 00:24:30,475 --> 00:24:33,870 marathons in fifty days, because he had a a friend who passed 427 00:24:33,870 --> 00:24:37,230 away. Anyway, Sean's recently just become the 428 00:24:37,230 --> 00:24:40,990 fastest person around Australia. So I think it was a hundred 429 00:24:40,990 --> 00:24:44,235 and eighty odd days where he was doing 80 plus 430 00:24:44,475 --> 00:24:48,155 kilometers every day. Man. These people blow my mind. Oh, this 431 00:24:48,155 --> 00:24:51,995 is crazy. So I just remember each day he'd watch along on, like, 432 00:24:51,995 --> 00:24:55,674 on his, Instagram and the stories and, like, he the 433 00:24:55,674 --> 00:24:59,035 blood, the nose is just spewing every day. Like, his 434 00:24:59,035 --> 00:25:02,820 feet. I I I can't wait to we we haven't recorded it yet. We're 435 00:25:02,820 --> 00:25:06,500 we're going to have it, this week with him, but I just yeah. I 436 00:25:06,500 --> 00:25:10,019 can't wait to hear just 437 00:25:10,019 --> 00:25:13,620 everything about it. Yeah. Because the mental demons he must 438 00:25:13,620 --> 00:25:17,435 have gone through, like, I know he put like, he planned to do this 439 00:25:17,435 --> 00:25:21,275 for five years. And, yes, I'm really excited to because I've 440 00:25:21,275 --> 00:25:24,635 caught up with him a couple of times as well because he was he does 441 00:25:24,635 --> 00:25:28,315 keynotes and things like that. And, you know, he was he's an eager young kid 442 00:25:28,315 --> 00:25:32,049 that's a legend. And I was sorta giving some advice or answers 443 00:25:32,049 --> 00:25:35,730 to questions and things like that. So I'm excited to touch base with him, 444 00:25:35,730 --> 00:25:39,570 talk about his journey and adventure, the highs and lows, but also how 445 00:25:39,570 --> 00:25:43,090 he's changed from that. Yeah. I wanna try and I'm gonna try and 446 00:25:43,090 --> 00:25:46,035 absorb a bit of his grit. Oh, man. I'm sure he's got Good luck. He's 447 00:25:46,035 --> 00:25:49,075 got it in bucketloads. He's got things in there. Grit than anyone. I don't think 448 00:25:49,075 --> 00:25:52,115 you can just get that. I know. But I don't know where you get that 449 00:25:52,115 --> 00:25:55,875 from, mate. That's insane. Yeah. You gotta develop it over time, I reckon. You gotta 450 00:25:55,875 --> 00:25:59,380 keep you gotta keep putting yourself in the uncomfortable positions. Boredom stuff. Through that. Yeah. 451 00:25:59,380 --> 00:26:02,500 That's it. And get through those uncomfortable positions and that that little bit of grit 452 00:26:02,500 --> 00:26:06,260 develops 1% at a time. And eventually, you've probably got 10% more 453 00:26:06,260 --> 00:26:08,900 grit than you had six months ago if you keep putting yourself in those in 454 00:26:08,900 --> 00:26:12,740 uncomfortable positions and getting through it. Yep. And just never giving up. You know 455 00:26:12,740 --> 00:26:15,745 what I mean? Like, that's what you develop your grip. You get better and better 456 00:26:15,745 --> 00:26:19,345 at through not giving up. Yeah. Right? And the way you talk to yourself. What 457 00:26:19,345 --> 00:26:22,305 about you, mate? What you got coming up? I'm excited about it. I'm super, mate. 458 00:26:22,305 --> 00:26:26,065 Simple things in life. I've, I've started coaching my my kids 459 00:26:26,065 --> 00:26:29,880 soccer team. So they have little Chelsea. Ted lasso. Ted lasso. I'm sorry 460 00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:33,360 Ted lasso as well. You would be. The the under seven 461 00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:37,240 Believe. Warriors. Believe. Warriors. The warriors. Under seven 462 00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:40,600 warriors. Chelsea soccer club. It's my first little foray into 463 00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:44,355 coaching any sort of junior soccer team, my kids. So, now I'm 464 00:26:44,355 --> 00:26:48,035 just like my oldest son, Hunter, is seven. He's under sevens. And my 465 00:26:48,035 --> 00:26:51,795 youngest one, Parker is five and Parker is joining in, just because he 466 00:26:51,795 --> 00:26:55,495 can because he does the coach. And yeah, I got got beautiful 467 00:26:55,554 --> 00:26:59,340 seven seven or eight, players. They're little legends Tonight, he's 468 00:26:59,340 --> 00:27:03,100 training session number two. And I'm mad. I'm pumped. I'm excited for it. 469 00:27:03,100 --> 00:27:06,380 Gives you something planned for. But you're right. I'm very tad less so about it 470 00:27:06,380 --> 00:27:10,220 because I am, even last week after every after every drills, like, 471 00:27:10,220 --> 00:27:13,820 get around each other, high fives. You know, mine shouldn't be the only voice. 472 00:27:13,820 --> 00:27:17,575 Team first. Encourage, and I've got these eight little seven year 473 00:27:17,575 --> 00:27:20,395 olds running around going, good job this person. Good job, Hunter. 474 00:27:21,575 --> 00:27:25,095 And I love, I guess, my what I'm looking forward to most is 475 00:27:25,095 --> 00:27:28,615 developing that sense of team. Yeah. Cool. Yeah. I can't wait to develop and see 476 00:27:28,615 --> 00:27:32,410 how it goes. Obviously, holidays are coming up. We'll nip away and and happy 477 00:27:32,410 --> 00:27:35,450 to family time down in Marlowe as a family, which we're looking forward to. I'm 478 00:27:35,450 --> 00:27:38,010 not and I'm not gonna lie, mate. I love a good Easter Easter egg. I 479 00:27:38,010 --> 00:27:41,325 love a good Easter bunny. The big Easter bunnies with the tick eggs. Oh, I 480 00:27:41,325 --> 00:27:44,445 love them. You've already gone through your fair quota. I've gone through my Easter quota 481 00:27:44,445 --> 00:27:48,065 for sure. That's for sure. You're not getting any more eggs then. Leave the 482 00:27:48,284 --> 00:27:51,565 six packets of ones I've got, please. Yeah. So we're that time. And then, 483 00:27:52,125 --> 00:27:54,845 we've got some cool gigs in the holidays. We've got, like, one for example with 484 00:27:54,845 --> 00:27:58,300 Muscular Dystrophy Australia. We do. That'll be new to 485 00:27:58,300 --> 00:28:01,580 me. You and me too. Yeah. New new one to new one to tick off 486 00:28:01,580 --> 00:28:05,340 and a new challenge, to plan a workshop for, for kids with 487 00:28:05,340 --> 00:28:08,640 with that condition.
