🎙️ BONUS | What is a Dilly Bag?

SPEAKER_1 (0:05)

Welcome to the Bonus Podcast.

SPEAKER_2 (0:09)

Oh.

SPEAKER_1 (0:10)

Hi, there.

SPEAKER_2 (0:11)

Um, okay.

SPEAKER_1 (0:13)

Yes?

SPEAKER_2 (0:13)

Let's go Google something. Well, you were talking about your IVF stuff today. I'm sure the first test tube baby in Australia was not Candice Breen.

SPEAKER_1 (0:19)

That's so funny you remember that story.

SPEAKER_2 (0:21)

It was a big deal.

Susie O'Neill (0:22)

Yeah.

SPEAKER_2 (0:23)

Well, you guys probably weren't born, but it was a big deal when the first test tube baby.

SPEAKER_1 (0:26)

That technology would have been so, so bad then too. Like, it's come such a long way.

Susie O'Neill (0:31)

Basic, I suppose.

SPEAKER_1 (0:32)

Yeah, basic.

Susie O'Neill (0:33)

What was Candice Reid? Candice Reid, eh?

SPEAKER_2 (0:36)

1980 Is it 1980?

Susie O'Neill (0:37)

It's a good get. Candice Reid. You pulled that name out.

SPEAKER_2 (0:40)

That is, yeah.

SPEAKER_1 (0:41)

Where did that come from?

SPEAKER_2 (0:42)

Oh, it was written there. It was written.

Susie O'Neill (0:45)

I never looked down there.

SPEAKER_2 (0:46)

It was written on me, yeah.

SPEAKER_1 (0:47)

So it was a big story at the time.

SPEAKER_2 (0:49)

1980

SPEAKER_1 (0:50)

1980

Susie O'Neill (0:51)

Um, can I give a quick text line update? We didn't really touch it on the show today. Yeah, good idea.

SPEAKER_2 (0:59)

I didn't know it wasn't loaded.

Susie O'Neill (1:00)

There's no name sometimes. Hi team, a dilly bag is what boy scouts and girl guides use to stall and carry their utensils, plate, bowl, cup, et cetera. Because you said dilly bag instead of tuck a bag in that citizenship quiz we did. Callie writes, I bet Susie is at Red Cliff at the Bee Gees Memorial. I can't get there. That's about the Masked Swimmer, obviously. I don't know whether she was close or not. Probably can't give it away yet in case the podcast goes up before 10 o'clock. Unlikely, but whatever.

Someone else says, I've just done the citizenship test and none of those questions are on there. That was from today's show. There you go.

SPEAKER_2 (1:37)

Okay, that's interesting to know.

SPEAKER_4 (1:38)

Yeah, the frisbee wasn't on there.

Susie O'Neill (1:40)

Gillian or Gillian, I never know which one that is, but Deception Bay, regular contributor. Actually, even if you've done the test, you don't actually become a citizen until you've attended the ceremony, which is several months later.

SPEAKER_2 (1:50)

Oh, really? Compulsory as well.

Susie O'Neill (1:53)

I think you have to turn up and shake hands with the local dignitary, probably the local member.

SPEAKER_1 (1:59)

God, it sounds like such a boring day out, doesn't it?

Susie O'Neill (2:03)

Yeah, I've been to one. I've actually MC'd one at the Adelaide Oval.

SPEAKER_1 (2:07)

Really?

Susie O'Neill (2:07)

On Australia Day during a test match or one day national, it must have been.

SPEAKER_2 (2:11)

That sounds all right.

Susie O'Neill (2:12)

It's interesting.

But it was funny because at the Adelaide Oval, they've got one big bank of speakers up the far end, the hill end. So when you're on field, it becomes a bit of an art form because you're like, welcome to the Adelaide Oval for this one day national. And it's literally like, welcome to the Adelaide Oval. And day one of this, welcome to the Adelaide Oval. That's the delay. Oh no. Two second delay before it hits you on the field.

SPEAKER_2 (2:37)

How do you do that?

Susie O'Neill (2:37)

So you just put one ear in and concentrate, but then you hand over to the state minister, the local government member who has to do his or her spiel.

SPEAKER_1 (2:45)

And they're not trained in that.

Susie O'Neill (2:46)

And they're not trained. They're just like, well, what a day we have here at the well, what a day. And they just fry. Their brain just goes and it just becomes gobbly-gloop. Will they stop for a bit, then they start, then it's just a mess.

SPEAKER_2 (2:59)

It's actually really hard to do. It's pretty hard. It's in fairness to them, because sometimes when you do crosses on television, the same thing happens.

SPEAKER_1 (3:04)

It's delayed.

Susie O'Neill (3:05)

Delayed in your ear.

SPEAKER_2 (3:06)

And I cannot, I actually cannot speak when it happens to me.

SPEAKER_1 (3:09)

There's nothing worse when you're doing live TV and you're trying to have banter back and forth, and then you think you're saying something funny in the moment, but they've already moved on.

And then you hear them talk and then they stop and go, what's, yeah. And it's just so awkward.

SPEAKER_2 (3:21)

Yeah, it's hard. You've done a lot of that with the weather thing.
