Physie hacks and an AM with EP - Episode 11

This week on That Physical Culture Podcast, the girls step into unfamiliar territory after being invited along to the very first intensive training session of the season with Tuggerah Lakes Edith Parsons Physie.

And let’s just say… it was an eye opener.

From the structure and training style to the intensity of the routines, Renee and Justine unpack the experience of seeing an EP Physie intensive up close and share their honest thoughts on what surprised them, what impressed them, and what left them quietly questioning their own fitness levels.

There are sore muscles. There are observations. There is respect. And there’s the realisation that physie girls across every code are truly built different.

Then in the second half of the episode, we talk through the hacks that were sent in by physie community. And honestly? The fam delivered.

From fake tan survival tips and safety pin strategies to performance wear fixes, hair hacks, emergency comp kit essentials and those oddly specific tricks only physie people understand, this episode is packed with the kind of elite insider knowledge that deserves to be passed down through generations.

Some hacks are genius. Some are mildly concerning. All are deeply physie.

If you’ve ever glued yourself into performance wear, panic-bought hairspray the night before a comp, or balanced a sausage sandwich and a spray tan at 7am, this one’s for you.

Cheers. Happy Mother's

Happy Mother's Day Qweens!

SPEAKER_00 0:08

Day. Happy Mother's Day, Joe. We made her. And happy Mother's Day to everyone listening. Welcome to that Fizzy podcast. And I am your host, Renee Walker. And I'm your co-host, Justine Rigber. And we are two fizzy enthusiasts that know very little. Or, you know, it's growing. Day by day. We are learning. We are learning about it. Having a little having a little bit of a I've gone fancy for Mother's Day just to really turn it up for you. Get it out of the beer cozy. And taking it out of the can cozy. And we got ourselves some fancy glasses. We're elevating. We're elevating from elevating today. Because that's what it's all about.

SPEAKER_01 0:51

I know. We're just gonna we're just gonna elevate ourselves and we've got take two because if you'd followed our socials, you'll know that we tried to record this episode yesterday at 6:30 in the morning.

SPEAKER_00 1:03

And we had we had such a fucking funny chat too. But we were really disappointed. But I had an epiphany last night. Yeah, it was Saturday night. I was in my vibe. I'd just come home from the pub and I was really filling myself.

SPEAKER_01 1:18

I really wish you could see me right now.

SPEAKER_00 1:20

So I haven't need cans. And um I sent Justine a voice note and I said, you know what? It's the fizzy gods sending us a message saying, girls, nah, we're not bothering with today's one. Promise you, do it again tomorrow. And it's gonna be lit. It's gonna be fire.

SPEAKER_01 1:38

I don't know if 6 30 in the morning is.

SPEAKER_00 1:40

Oh, it's not our vibe.

SPEAKER_01 1:42

We did it over coffee.

Don't call us before 10am

SPEAKER_00 1:43

Oh I love coffee, but it was a good chat, but my eyes hadn't woken up yet. It literally takes 10, like to 10am before my eyes look like I haven't just rolled out a bit. Yeah, I get really like tired eyes. Oh I'm an afternoon gal. You're an afternoon gal. I'm sundowners all the way. So um, yeah, it's Mother's Day. Um, it's 12 o'clock, we're having a drink, and um we've got so much more to talk about today than we did yesterday because we went to an EP intensive. We went up to Tugra Fizzy, EPR Tugra Lakes. Um Nikki invited us up to see um them go through an intensive. So they spent basically the whole day. They started at like freaking 8, went through till 6 30,

We did an EP Physie intensive!

SPEAKER_00 2:34

I think. I think so. And they just broke it all down into chunks and like spent the time going through it. And I was like, I could have got a lot out of that if it's uh had been our work.

SPEAKER_01 2:47

Oh you should have said you'll we we've done a reel, we we obviously recorded it, but I could not get over your concentration level and how quickly because we did their routines and how quickly you picked it up, and

Renee was actually listening for once

SPEAKER_01 3:03

I was just like a lost little child, just like, oh, I'll just sit over there.

SPEAKER_00 3:07

Imagine our teacher watching me pick up that work so fast if she wants to slap me in the head on Tuesday night, she's got full rights. So um I'm gonna start off by asking you how you felt about the reaction to us walking into the room. Oh, that was it was because it's not the first time this has happened either.

SPEAKER_01 3:31

So it's the first time it's ever happened to me.

SPEAKER_00 3:34

Yeah, it's happened to me before, but you haven't had it happen yet. And I could just see you having like a a what? Oh, yeah, okay.

SPEAKER_01 3:43

So what what Renee means by that, it was really weird because we were just chatting to people, like, oh hey, and they were kind not like Star Trek is so not the word, but they were just like though. It was a bit for them, they're like, it's just surreal talking to you because I'm

When people recognise you

SPEAKER_01 3:58

so used to your voice in my headphones. In my headphones. And I just I thought it was so funny, but I think and then they're all just watching us interact, and we didn't even had the the cameras or anything weren't on. We'll just chatting, just literally just talking to us. Oh, it's so funny. It's just like listening to the podcast. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 4:18

I I've had it I could hear them saying over there, oh, it's so funny to see them. Like I'm usually looking at them on my phone or I'm listening to them and they're right here.

SPEAKER_01 4:28

Yeah, no, I have never had an in real life moment where people have been have recognized. Like um Mariah was telling us, Were you there the other day where she goes, Oh, there was a lady at swimming who stopped her and said, Were you you're on the podcast? That fizzy podcast. I went, That's never even happened to me.

SPEAKER_00 4:46

Apart from people I know. You finally had your moment. I had my moment.

SPEAKER_01 4:51

It was really nice. It's it's so um, because sometimes you're just thinking you're talking into the abyss.

Talking into the abyss, fortnightly.

SPEAKER_01 4:56

Oh, a hundred percent.

SPEAKER_00 4:58

Yeah. A lot of the time, well, all of the time it just feels like I'm talking to you on the couch. Yeah, it's only until someone goes, That was bloody hilarious, what you were taught the you know, X, Y, and Z, and you're like, Oh Jesus, someone's fucking listening to this trollop religiously. Who would? Who would be bored? Yeah, so that was so that was fun. Yeah, yeah. Um, and then what did you think about their work?

SPEAKER_01 5:24

I think I think when we said we think um like BJP being BJP girls, it's harder. And I think yes, it is. However, I in saying that the I don't know if it's so much that the moves itself, like the choreography is harder. However, my God, it's

It's a fussy thing

SPEAKER_01 5:44

so intricate. So where they're looking and your positioning, and you know how we talk about our teacher talks all about of you know, the shapes, you've got to make the shapes, you know, which is true. You've gotta you gotta get the positions correct, you've got to get these positions correct. Bang on, bang on, and god love Deb. Like, um, so she was um like the assistant teacher, I think.

SPEAKER_00 6:05

She was with Nikki standing up the back looking at us from behind, which was actually very beneficial having someone at the back.

SPEAKER_01 6:11

Yeah, so I was watching her interact with the other um with the ladies and just the intricacy of where they where their moves have to be.

SPEAKER_00 6:21

And it doesn't surprise me that when we watch it and their teams formations, it's just the teams is something to really admire because of their dedication to the detail for the from from woe to go, yes, from the first lesson to the last, yeah, so that when they get to the end and they go into teams, they're already smashing, like there's no there's no flair. Yes, and that's what it is.

SPEAKER_01 6:48

You can't you can't hide in the flair. No, um, so it was I loved, I loved going, I love seeing what they do, what they call things. Oh, what was that one? Open arm it was like he. It was he open he.

SPEAKER_00 7:03

Open he. Never heard of it. Wow, probably isn't it, but but it's a shared language. So it's like walking into a room and going, oh, I speak Spanish, I can understand everything you're saying. But it's Mexican Spanish, not Spanish Spanish, so it's a little bit different. I know, but it's like because I'm backpacking and you're like, oh, this sounds completely different. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And so it's like Canadian French and French trench.

Shared language between codes...triiiippy

SPEAKER_00 7:31

10% understand what you're saying, like yard, yes, oblique, whatever. But it's like a different approach to it. And my takeaway word was finicky.

SPEAKER_01 7:41

Finicky?

SPEAKER_00 7:42

It was very finicky. Like oh Jesus, the bloody detail in this like it's detailed. Yeah, it's like it's sort of like EP girls aren't fussy, but the work is fussy. Oh yeah. And that's why EP girls, there's no flair, there's no princesses, no one's got the spotlight on them. You're doing the bloody work and you're doing it to the book. Yes, yeah. None of this bullshit, and it is gonna be detailed. It is, it's I was just like, oh god, that's so fussy.

SPEAKER_01 8:13

Like Yo Aaron, you look like you're in your element. You looked really Oh, because I was so nervous. Yeah, we uh so she was so you don't understand people. She was so quiet.

Quiet and packin' it

SPEAKER_01 8:24

I was so barely settled.

SPEAKER_00 8:27

Our teacher's gonna hate hearing this.

SPEAKER_01 8:29

Just then, I don't reckon you spoke. I couldn't. I was like so nervous. And I was very we're very mindful that this was their intensive. So we were like, we didn't want to just be like at the back.

SPEAKER_00 8:41

I'm not the sort of person who like I still can't wrap my head around people getting this weird starstruck thing about us. Like, I'm like, it's us. Renee. Renee from badass. Yeah, Renee the Cultural Phenom. Fucking Renee.

SPEAKER_02 8:58

Fucking Renee.

SPEAKER_00 9:00

Like, why are you so excited about this? I'll come over your house if you want. Call me over. Let's have a drink. I'm gonna get barrage with invites for drink. Hit her up. I'm already an alcoholic. Yeah. Roll on. Roll on. Okay, go. So, so when um, you know, you go to someone else's thing, I'm like, I don't want I'm not here to steal the show here. Like, you guys have got work to do. Yep. And I don't want to get in the way. Like, I don't want to be a dick. Yeah. Um, and so we stood up the back. We did. I didn't even want to get in their way. Oh, the other thing, mirrors.

Mirrors! Never had mirrors!

SPEAKER_01 9:33

Yeah, they don't usually, they said they don't usually train with mirrors, but what that is the first time.

SPEAKER_00 9:38

It's so good. You know, you've danced before. I've never danced before. The only time I've danced is at our fizzy club, and there are no mirrors. I've never danced in front of mirrors before. It is an absolute unlock.

SPEAKER_01 9:51

Oh, it's it is a this is why people say film yourself. I know, but I hate watching it. I know. It is easier in the moment when you're looking in a mirror. Yeah. But Nikki was right. What was she saying? She was like, look, don't use this as like a crutch. Like you gotta the downside of having mirrors is you're constantly looking at yourself. So you don't know from like um from a muscle memory thing of going, am I in the right spot? Because you're just used to seeing yourself.

SPEAKER_00 10:21

Um love the mirrors. Oh, lovely. And also it's a little bit of a uh it's a bit problematic when you know with fizzy you you're meant to be looking up or you're meant to be looking sidewall and you're looking at the mirror. 100%. You can't not look at the mirror. It's it's like being on a Zoom call and not looking at yourself.

SPEAKER_01 10:40

Oh, 100%. It's like my daughter. Fucking impossible. Do you know, Elsie? It actually drives Carl and I nuts. Where our dining table is, it has like the door to our balcony, and she looks at herself. I'm like, who are you talking to? Are you talking to me? Yeah, yeah. Or are you talking to yourself? She's like, I just like looking at myself.

SPEAKER_00 10:57

Well, it makes you feel like a narcissist, but I think I think it's a human thing. I don't think like you can control it. It's just a human thing to go, oh, look at me. Yeah, so I had a I just had a great time, and we are very committed to being the people's podcast in terms of fizzy.

SPEAKER_01 11:14

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_00 11:15

We don't want to be all about BJP. Um, we want to make people feel like we're representing their code as well because we've got more in common than we have indifference. So I was really happy to go out and be like, yeah, we do EP. Like we're seeing EP and we're getting educated with our own eyeballs on EP. Yeah, it was it was awesome.

SPEAKER_01 11:37

Honestly, like so thankful for Nikki. And like the red and the and the Tugra Lakes ladies who just let us crash. Let us crash. Not to the mention.

SPEAKER_00 11:47

Most of them were in their first.

SPEAKER_01 11:50

Oh I know they were phenomenal. That blew my mind when um she said that. I'm like, she goes to hell.

SPEAKER_00 11:56

If literally, this is what, like week 13 of their fizzy life. And I'm like, you guys are crushing. That was so good. You should have seen me in the first. Imagine if a podcast duo turned up in your

first year of fizzy. I'd be like, I'm not going to be there. So thank you so much for letting us come. That was very kind. It was awesome.

Physie hacks....lessss goooooo

SPEAKER_01 13:23

cannot get my stuff together. So we threw out to the community and we said, guys, give us your best hacks. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 13:29

And we were inundated.

SPEAKER_01 13:30

We were inundated, they came through with goods. It blew up. It was so good. Okay, so what I've done for ease is I've categorized it. So I've put it in groups, and so what I'm gonna do, I'm gonna kick it off with I'm gonna kick it off with training actually.

Training prep!

SPEAKER_01 13:50

Okay. Okay, so training. Because we already had a big thing um with Ash before. Yeah. But um some extra little hacks came in and I quite enjoyed it. So we have a lot of balances. We've just heard when we did AEP, they also have balances and things like that. Um so people, when we're going to the gym, if you're gym people, if you're not, whatever. You know how you have the big I'm going, they're not medicine balls.

SPEAKER_00 14:14

They're exercise balls. The exercise balls.

SPEAKER_01 14:16

Yes. The ones that are half, like a half Mexican um Mexican ball. Exercise ball, they're called a bosu ball, right? So I never knew that. So Bosu ball. Bosu ball. Yeah. Guys, we are doing all of our single legs on a bosu ball. On the soft side. On the soft side, yeah. Well, and if you really want to try it, go on the other side. Go on the hard side. That's really fucking but what that's gonna do is it's gonna extra engage all of your stabiliser muscles and it's gonna work those ankles. Yeah. Well, mate, come like September. Doing it on a hard floor is gonna be cinched. Oh, seriously. So that is what we are doing. Yeah, everyone. I want to buy one actually. Yeah, and benefit. Show me anyone in a gym who's using a bosu ball. There's dust collecting on those bad boys.

SPEAKER_00 15:08

Just bring your duster. People will be like, oh, oh, Sheeon over there. What do you what do you call that? Contraption.

SPEAKER_01 15:15

Do we always have them? I swear it's always like those things in the gym that you're like. Never gets used.

SPEAKER_02 15:21

I know, no.

SPEAKER_01 15:22

Yeah, it's always like one machine that no one knows how to use and they don't want to be the person who attempts it because that is so the Bosu ball sort of had its time, didn't it?

SPEAKER_00 15:30

And then it just got packed to the side.

SPEAKER_01 15:32

Got packed to the side. It's but it's you know, like when you do the council cleanup, someone goes, Do we really need this? It's like, yeah, yeah, we'll need it for some.

SPEAKER_00 15:40

Someone wants it.

SPEAKER_01 15:41

There you go, all you fizzy people, get that in there. Second thing is, is, and um, I learned this through all my injuries. Have you ever heard of nerve glides before? No. Nah, no. Okay, so when you think, because we, you know, we do so much um needing to stretch our hamstrings and things like that. Nerve glides is where you're actually gonna have every physio going wrong, not right, not right.

SPEAKER_00 16:06

Timu physio OV. T move physio.

SPEAKER_01 16:09

Get a real degree. Um, so it's it's actually you like the actual um, what do you call it? Nerves. Yeah.

Nerve gliders

SPEAKER_01 16:19

So when you think that you might have really tight hamstrings, it could actually be the nerves that are run down from your spine down into your legs. So when you do, and we'll have to do a video of these, or I'll just share someone who actually can do it properly. It's you kind of have your leg up like you're doing a hamstring stretch, and you're gonna um kind of like uh flex and point, flex and point. And it's just helping your body go, hey, you're safe. Yeah, right? We're cool, we're cool, we're good. And so do some nerve glides and then do some hamstring stretches. And try again. Yeah, and the reason for this as well is all of my injuries where I've come back. Seriously, it's always roll your feet. So golf ball under your feet for all your fascia, yeah, and then nerve glides.

SPEAKER_00 17:09

Yeah, I love rolling my feet out now. I've just started really committed to it, and it's such a nice feeling. I do it under my desk at work.

SPEAKER_01 17:16

Oh, see, you and Beck, and I love her. She messaged me and she's like, get your ball out. I was like, Yeah, I never do.

SPEAKER_00 17:23

Once you put it under your desk at work and you're sitting there eight hours a day, I know, then you're like, oh, that feels nice.

SPEAKER_01 17:30

Yeah, everyone do it. So there you go. That's your little hack there. Okay, I'm trying to do this in a in an order that makes sense. Let's now talk about let's talk about performance wear. Ooh, my favourite. I know, I know, it's like your favourite little thing ever. All right, so for performance wear, what we want to know is definitely you need because we're all living in strapless bras. I hate strapless bras.

SPEAKER_00 17:54

Fuck I hate strapless bras. It's so uncomfortable.

SPEAKER_01 17:57

Okay, this is where you need the clue straps.

SPEAKER_00 17:58

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 17:59

You're gonna have to just invest.

SPEAKER_00 18:00

Maybe I'm just gonna have to do clue straps.

SPEAKER_01 18:02

Just clue straps, people. Yeah. Okay, because we've got crossing over. We've got all different, you know, ways that you can wear your performance swear. I I don't know if you were like this. I've always been a bit like about clue because I can see them. You can still see them. But then I've realized when I've been a spectator, you can't see it from the crowd.

SPEAKER_00 18:22

And the judges won't see anything that gives. And even if they could see, they wouldn't give a rat. Surely. Also, I think with the Ronde, for the first time ever. The Ronde. The Ronde. Rhonda.

Rhonda's looking fab in the ronde

SPEAKER_00 18:37

Rhonda's wearing the Ronde.

SPEAKER_02 18:38

She looks amazing.

SPEAKER_00 18:42

So for the first time, I think, uh, aside from the attitude top, we've got a straight. Oh, God, I hate that top. Um, sorry to anyone who wears one. Sorry, sorry. Get in a ronde strap. Not ours.

SPEAKER_01 18:56

It's just not our vibes.

SPEAKER_00 18:57

It's not our vibes, no babe. Um, but the ronda has a uh a straight strap. Yes. So I think you know, the demi's hard because it's kind of got like an action sort of comes in. Yeah. Hard to hide a bra strap, but you could do a a clear bra strap at least on one side on the ronde and feel pretty good about that.

SPEAKER_01 19:19

So clear straps for the win and also bra clips. So, like, you know, like the things that make

Clear bra straps and bra clips

SPEAKER_01 19:24

your bra look like it's going in a razor back or at the front. So if people have the crossover, that's also a really good hack. Um, I think Cups told me that about um she she does it at the front there. Yeah, yeah. Because I think she has a crossover. So that's what we're doing. The second hack which I you would think I would remember this, and I do not ever remember this, is the clear tape. You need to have some clear tape so when you have for your pins, so when you're pinning your number

Clear sticky for the safety pins

SPEAKER_01 19:54

on, you put clear tape over the pins because if you're wearing mesh or you're wearing fishnets, those puppies are not gonna get stuck in there.

SPEAKER_00 20:01

Yeah, I haven't worn a mesh before, so I've not had to think about that. But yeah, if you're wearing mesh, it's it could be dye. But imagine getting caught on the floor.

SPEAKER_01 20:09

Serious no, I some people messaging, they're like, Don't tell me, like, don't ask how I know this, but yeah, like make sure you have your mesh because like when you're in your fishnets. I was like, what the fuck were you doing? How did you get them stuck in there? Like from your from your like leotard and stuff like that.

SPEAKER_00 20:26

The I guess when you're coming down with your arms in your hands. Oh, the arms, but in your fishnets. I was like, oh, he's a flexi flexi toe. Yeah, yeah, that's yeah, someone's getting down. Yeah, I know. Okay, so glue. Glue, glue, glue. Glue was my first um sort of exposure to a fizzy hack. Yeah, oh really? Yeah, it was the first time I was like, ooh, what is that? What is this thing? That actually came up in

Ode to the "Glue Bitch"

SPEAKER_00 20:54

our um little mini group chat with um Carla. Oh yeah. She was like, glue, and I'll give it a couple. Oh glue. Oh craft glue. Darlin. Dull. Darh. Get who's the glue bitch? And I was the glue bitch with you. And so this is an ode to every person in each club. There's always a glue bitch in every club. Yep. Someone is a like gold standard always has glue walking around, gluing everyone down. Yeah. I'm I think I might be this year's glue glue.

SPEAKER_01 21:23

You're gonna have to because I I haven't told you. Yeah, I've run out. You used to be the glue glue. Well, I have glue, but now it's all stuck. It's gone bad. Yeah, well, I I brought it to Opens Team Weekend. And I was like, Is that what I need to be glued? Just be really careful when you take off the glue, and then you know, you gotta hold it like this. And everyone's like, No, not touching the glue.

SPEAKER_00 21:44

And um, do tell about the difference between the fizzy shop glue it's the orange one. You gotta get the orange one. Because the blue's not gonna be.

SPEAKER_01 21:54

Everyone's talking about everyone. Well, I got told they're like, if you're gonna get the glue, get the orange one. Yeah, just go full pellet. And guys, you're gluing everything. Yeah. We're gluing the top. And you gotta wait till it gets tacky. Yes. You do have to wait for it to dry a bit. Yep. So tack tack you know that tacky like a sticky sticky.

SPEAKER_00 22:12

Also, go to the toilet before you glue down.

SPEAKER_01 22:16

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh yeah, because especially for kids, which brings me to my next thing. Don't glue a kid if they have not peed. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 22:24

Because it doesn't stick again properly.

SPEAKER_01 22:26

Yeah, or um, mum who's had like three kids and you know the pelvic floor ain't what it used to be.

SPEAKER_00 22:30

Oh, and I just need to if I'm in a competition, I need to wee on the page. Nervous wee? Yeah, nervous wee. I was the same at Netball.

SPEAKER_01 22:38

Nervous wee at Netball.

SPEAKER_00 22:39

Yeah, I'd nervous. I would need to wee before a netball goes.

SPEAKER_01 22:42

Oh, that would suck. Because you know at the clubhouse, it's never near your court.

SPEAKER_00 22:47

So far away.

SPEAKER_01 22:48

Your your designated court, you know where always it is? On the other side. Adcock Park, million miles away. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. My God. I at least was just down in Edelong. Excuse me. Oh, yes. Excuse me, Steve. I get back up there. Okay. So that alludes. Um alludes. My next one. Elastic in tights.

SPEAKER_00 23:06

I haven't done this before, but I'm going to do it this year.

SPEAKER_01 23:08

You're going to do it. Yeah. Guys, we're all putting elastic in our tights. You can keep the glue just for your top. But we're we're we're going there.

Elastic in the pants for the win

SPEAKER_01 23:17

It is the ultimate hack. Yep. You're getting your little sewing circle. Get all we all do it all us little mums. And you know, we're just going to cut a little hole. On the inside of the pant? Inside of the pant, you're going to get good. You need to get the good quality elastic. Strong elastic. P.S. Do you know how much fucking elastic costs?

SPEAKER_00 23:35

Oh, it's ridiculous. Oh my god. What do they make it out of? Like a rare rhino dust. Yeah, I reckon they're Yeah, it's like ivory with like sewn in, like, I don't know, gold dust. Gold dust. It's so expensive. They make oh it's made out of petrol, actually. Oh, they're yeah, that's also from the UAE.

SPEAKER_01 23:59

Um so fucking expensive. But that's what we're gonna do. And especially for kids, put it on the kids because you don't have to worry about the glue. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 24:09

And then you see, you see the little girls on the floor um pulling their pants up the whole routine.

SPEAKER_01 24:17

Oh my god, I was watching um through the window, like where the kids do it yesterday or last week, whatever. And I could see my youngest Florence, and she was the only way I could get them to fizzy is like you can wear your performance way. Oh right. Florence's little belly, her demi top was riding up, her pants are riding down, and I was like going, pull your pants up, and she's just looking at me going, what? And I'm like, and that has that actually has elastic in it. I think it's just her little pop belly, which you like.

SPEAKER_00 24:47

For reference, the elastic is around the top of it sits at the top of the pants. Well, it does, but it's floating around.

SPEAKER_01 24:56

It floats around, but like I mean, once it's on, like because when you're measuring it, you know, you kind of make it that little bit tighter. So it does it's gonna go to the top. Yeah, it does go to the top, and you can and don't do what I did because you know, bloody rookie over here, I sewed Elsie's not crooked, but like twisted for repercharge, and everyone's like, What's with this? I went, Oh that was me.

SPEAKER_00 25:19

Sorry. Not a seamstress. I'm not. I think you one day asked me, you're like, Do you get out the sewing machine? I'm like, Yeah, I was like, Do you do that on the Genomey? You were like, absolutely hand sewed. Absolutely not, don't even know what that is.

SPEAKER_01 25:34

Okay, I reckon you're gonna love this. Because I laughed when I when I read it, I did understand it. Sewing pants and top together.

SPEAKER_00 25:42

Oh

The unitard

SPEAKER_00 25:44

this came up, I mean, let's not joke around. It's not the first time we've recorded this episode, and I I used recorded loosely because we recorded the yesterday. But when this came up yesterday, I've my reaction is exactly the same. What's the fuck? So my question is a physics question. Yeah, like are we genoming that shit together? Don't say genoming. Well, sponsored by them? Are we sewing it with a machine? I don't because hand sewing I don't believe is on. I don't know. And are we getting into it from the top?

SPEAKER_01 26:25

I'm picturing unitard. That's what I'm picturing. But I I don't I I like I genuinely I know we spoke about it yesterday. I still don't know. I reckon we should get a unit. You do I'm not.

SPEAKER_00 26:38

I would. Because you said one though. I'm I no, I'm not. There is no way.

SPEAKER_01 26:48

You do it with your long length and your long torso. If you're gonna sew it together, it's just so funny. Because I'm the same as you when we're talking about this, going, when are they doing it? Are we pre-sewing it and then we stepping into it like a unitar? Or are we hand sewing it on the day when we're gonna do it? On the day, but I don't I don't get it.

SPEAKER_00 27:09

I don't understand. It's wild. I I would just be putting a lot of faith in that cotton. Oh yeah. Without glue involved, I'd just be like, am I gonna split the seams on this unitar?

SPEAKER_01 27:23

I want if if we are at a comp, Oh, please come and see us. Can you come and see us and show us? And we need to know two things. Did you sew it on the day? And does it split? We need to see the calibre of it. And did you use a sewing machine? So I thought you'd like that one. Okay, so double-sided tape on your ballets to keep them from slipping. So this is like our EP, our burns. Yeah. You know, no, they well, they wear shoes. Ballets?

SPEAKER_00 27:53

I don't remember. Uh a lot of people are wearing shoes.

SPEAKER_01 27:56

Yeah, I think it's just our synapta. Yeah. So um, yeah, so you don't slip. So they said that, or um, I think sometimes they grate the bottom of them. Yes. Like ballet dances. Like ballet dances. Yep. So that was a really good one. And then um sew loops into your top and or um leotard to feed your bra straps through. So you don't have to worry about.

SPEAKER_00 28:17

Yeah, that's a good, that's a good play. And as Nikki says, what goes on the inside of your uh performance wears?

SPEAKER_01 28:24

Nobody else's business.

SPEAKER_00 28:25

Yep.

SPEAKER_01 28:25

Nobody's business but your own business until you buy it from the secondhand shop. And they're like, Oh, who sewed that? Yeah, if everyone's gonna be like now Justine sells like when I sell my performance wear. No, no, mine's crap, but over here, Miss Sewer. Yeah, you're a sewer girl. Okay, so we are now, I'm gonna go into food because I'm trying to oh note

The tan

SPEAKER_01 28:46

tan. So I'm trying to do this um logically, like where we lean up to comp tent. Yeah, yeah. Okay, so we've got all of our, we've been training for it. Yep. We've got our performance wear already. Yep. We're talking about tan. Yep. All right, so we're all tan and baby powder over our tan when it's drained, so it doesn't get on furniture.

SPEAKER_00 29:06

Yes. My have you done this? My I did have a tan lady that I would go to and get a spray tan, and she used to powder me before I'd leave so I didn't get tan on the car seats and stuff. Never like dry, it's like a setting powder. But you could use baby powder, it would be fine. It would like set the tan, and it's yeah, it does stop it from running off rubbing off on stuff, but I don't do that now that I'm doing it myself.

SPEAKER_01 29:33

What uh genuine question How long? You know, like when you say you're you're naked, whatever, because we've talked about this that we're not just doing our calf color with hair. We are tanning everything. How long after you've tan do you put clothes on? Um Like are you waiting ages or are you kind of just like where it gets a little bit I don't know?

SPEAKER_00 29:55

I've got like this dress, it's like a moo moo. It's a cotton moo moo thing. Yeah. And I just chuck it on, wriggle on into it over.

SPEAKER_01 30:04

Yeah, but how long after you've tanned? This is my like this is like literally my Roman Empire. Five minutes!

SPEAKER_00 30:11

I'm probably still a bit tacky. Yeah, I'm definitely tacky when I'm gonna be able to do it.

SPEAKER_01 30:14

Okay, is this what we're doing? Are we doing it? That's when I I it's like my big thing.

SPEAKER_00 30:18

I just can't stand around naked. Well, either can I. Especially in winter. I know. Get me some clothes on. Oh, you know what else is really good? A fluffy um dressing gown.

SPEAKER_01 30:29

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 30:29

You can wash it.

SPEAKER_01 30:30

Yeah, I know, but like hot.

SPEAKER_00 30:32

Oh, it's cold at the moment. I love my robe. I live in it.

SPEAKER_01 30:36

I have this whole thing about dressing gowns. I just I yeah not a dressing gown either. Oh, I love the idea of a dressing gown, but I don't like that synthetic feeling. I'm the same with blankets. I don't like that. Fluffy blanket. Nah. There are it has to be like it for me, it's like a natural fibre thing.

SPEAKER_00 30:56

Oh, got you. Plastic y.

SPEAKER_01 30:58

You think that I'm so bougie. I'm not. I'm just like she's got a big thing.

SPEAKER_00 31:02

Because it gets hot, yeah. You know, you need some you need some wicking.

SPEAKER_01 31:06

And I don't like wicking. Well, wick. True. I should just get like a bamboo one, but then they're not good enough. Okay. Um, well, we all should know this, but this is probably more when we go, nah, move that into makeup. Okay, I liked this one that came through. Extra tan on arches of your feet so you look more pointed.

SPEAKER_00 31:30

I want to know if this works. It it's sort of like how people um fake tan in abs. Yeah. Yeah. I think there's actually quite a few places on your body where you can apply extra tan for something a little bit more complementary.

SPEAKER_01 31:44

Oh, I need it for my feet because my feet, if you've ever seen them, but you can't, because I've got sneakers on. Yeah. So you could put your toes up. See these feet that's gonna be a really nice angle. Renee has like long feet, and I feel like when you have your second toes longer than your first toes, I feel like it points nicer. I know this sounds so stupid. My feet are like if you asked a five-year-old to draw a foot, and mine are fat, they look like it literally. I'm looking at this iPhone now. Yeah, it looks like an iPhone. Right? It looks like an iPhone. It looks like an iPhone because it's just like a rectangle, it's a bot, it's a rectangle. Yeah, but when you draw the toes, they literally go down how they should. The big toe's the biggest, then that's the thing, and then that's the next one. And it literally is like stairs. Yes. So my feet never look pointed. Yes, because they're already flat.

SPEAKER_00 32:51

Well, they're already going down.

SPEAKER_01 32:53

Going down so much.

SPEAKER_00 32:55

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 32:55

So see, I can't see it then.

SPEAKER_00 32:58

I can't point my toe very well, so I use them.

SPEAKER_01 33:03

Have you never seen that in clocked? She is just so we're all aware. Yuck, Renee.

SPEAKER_00 33:10

She's using her long, gaggly second toe to push down her big toes. That's the only way I can get my toe to go down. Yuck freak. My toes look like fingers.

SPEAKER_01 33:23

Yeah, see, I look my toes, Carl, my husband laughs about my feet all the time. And I'm like, I have feet that you would draw. Yeah, I've got the archetype foot. Yeah, but I don't. So when people see my feet, they're like, My feet are bit rough. So that's why I need the extra tan on my arches to actually.

SPEAKER_00 33:44

Yeah, I think you know, the other plant the other place where you can apply a bit more is around your decoletage. Oh decoletage. And um show off your collarbone by giving the shadow a bit more shadow into like things. Everyone's gonna be contouring. Yeah, contouring. There you go.

SPEAKER_01 34:03

Yeah, contouring. Okay, so we've got the tan. We're all tanned up. We are now gonna talk about food. I'm looking

All the foods

SPEAKER_01 34:09

at you, kid, because you don't eat. I'm not great with the food. You're not great with the food.

SPEAKER_00 34:13

SPEAKER_01 34:15

Well, there's a hack on here for you. For for drink. Alright, snack and lolly box. You bitches and you love your bloody sugar.

SPEAKER_00 34:22

SPEAKER_01 34:29

Seriously, and like all the seniors are sick for it. They get like a whole. Well, because they can. Well, I get it.

SPEAKER_00 34:36

They've got still got fast metabolisms. Nothing's happening to them after that day.

SPEAKER_01 34:41

People with full-on, like, I'm going with storage boxes that my performance wear is in. I I'm obviously I'm over exaggerating, but I feel like that's how big they are. And then everyone's bringing in a packet of lollies. Yeah. They're all piling it in. I was like, girls, yeah, get some fucking potassium in here.

SPEAKER_00 34:59

Eat a banana.

SPEAKER_01 35:02

SPEAKER_00 35:04

Ooh, I do like a snake.

SPEAKER_01 35:07

Yeah. Okay. Yeah, I'll pay that. I'm not a big lolly person.

SPEAKER_00 35:10

Yeah. I don't like soft snakes though.

SPEAKER_01 35:12

Would you what? What's the difference between a hard snake and a soft snake?

SPEAKER_00 35:17

Sometimes the killer pythons, because they're quite big, they can be a little bit like softer and chewier. No, I like a nice hard snake. Like real chewy.

SPEAKER_01 35:29

Oh, alright. I like the ones that look like nipples. What are they?

SPEAKER_00 35:32

SPEAKER_01 35:49

Yeah. Oh, can't even run like a little bit of a channel.

SPEAKER_00 35:51

SPEAKER_01 35:54

Maybe you can run.

SPEAKER_00 35:56

The first year I did fizzy, I did both. I ran a half marathon and I did fizzy. The hell? Really hard. Oh, oh but the training schedule is insane.

SPEAKER_01 36:18

Yeah. Just go hang out in the shed. Oh my god. Speaking of running, it's so funny. Um, so Erin's husband is a runner, our friend Erin. Um, and he's like a full marathon runner. And he runs past my because they live around the corner. And I told her one day, I went, um, I saw Andrew running far out, it was so fast. Splits or something like, I don't know, four seconds, five seconds split. And I'm like, he was like, Pizza Broad.

SPEAKER_00 36:44

Make me feel a bit like um uh nauseous because I'm almost thinking about the um lactic acid that I would be having from running that fast would make me want to vomit. Oh, I never think of it.

SPEAKER_01 36:57

I just think who can run like that anyway.

SPEAKER_00 37:00

It's amazing.

SPEAKER_01 37:00

Okay, so carbon night before, and we need good protein for breakfast. Looking at you because you do not eat.

SPEAKER_00 37:10

I eat to stay alive. I just don't get it. It's like, oh, better put some petrol in the car, otherwise she's gonna run out. You gotta eat. I'm not a foodie, but yeah, I do need to eat.

SPEAKER_01 37:21

Eat an egg.

unknown 37:23

SPEAKER_01 37:28

Okay. Yeah. What we're gonna do, boil some eggs. Just don't be near me because I don't want to smell it. Yeah. Eat it outside. Eat it outside. When you're doing your hairspray, because you're not allowed to hairspray inside, go eat your boiled egg. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, like I I reckon we're just doing some, you know, I don't know, like a little bit of um Greek yogurt here.

SPEAKER_00 37:46

A little bit of, you know, oats and I just probably need to do a bit of planning around the food because I don't think about it more.

SPEAKER_01 37:52

Well, I'll I'll pack you a lunch box.

SPEAKER_00 37:54

My my body does not send me signals for water or for food.

SPEAKER_01 37:59

I don't know how we're friends.

SPEAKER_00 38:00

SPEAKER_01 39:10

Oh, okay. Well, I'm a cramper. Pain anything. My toes, the aforementioned toes, cramp a lot. Yeah, right. Bananas, people. Bananas. We are eating bananas. Yep. And we're eating potassium pickle juice. Pickleback! We're having pickleback shots.

SPEAKER_00 39:28

Do you love that I'm hearing? Do you do you love that you bring up pickle juice as a therapeutic option and I turn it into an alcoholic chaser? Yeah!

SPEAKER_01 39:38

Oh, I used to picklebacks. I have the fondest memories. I need to find what that club was. In on like near Oxford Street, and there were picklebacks. That's what you had. But we did it with fog car, but you can also do it with whiskey.

SPEAKER_00 39:53

Um whiskey. Yeah, like a rye whiskey. Oh. Yeah, a bullet bourbon pickleback. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 40:00

That sounds disgusting.

SPEAKER_00 40:02

Yeah, I drink it all.

SPEAKER_01 40:03

But I love pickles. I used to, when I used to go to my grandparents' house, I used to go and get her jar of pickled onions and go and sit with a fog. No, no, no, no. Oh. The big ones, the big mummers. I used to sit, literally, you can just three C's pickles. I used to sit on their lounge watching Mary Poppins. Or Bad Golf Made Easy. Very, very, very great. Um it's about literally about um Liam not Neeson. Who's the other guy? Really old guy who used to be on like all the um naked gun things. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Hilarious guy. And he did like a a spoof of like a golf, how like a how you do play golf. It's so fucking funny. It was back in the 90s. Anyway, I used to sit there with a whole jar of three C's pickles, and I used to just stab it with a fork and I would eat them and then get heartburn. Oh I was like a 10-year-old kid with a heartburn. Anyway, delicious. So pretty sure it was a cramping. Maybe I'll just eat. Oh, maybe I'll just eat pickles. Anyway, three C's. Pickle juice. There you go. But you can get them supposedly, you don't need to. Turns out I was like really confused. I'm like, if people walk around with fucking stuff, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 41:11

I asked that too. I was like, are you getting a jar of pickles and then pouring all the juice out?

SPEAKER_01 41:15

No, you get them from Chemiswear House. Oh, sweet. Someone's someone's thought about this. Money-making thing. They're literally just going like, hey, you know what you do. Hack. Go get your three C's pickles and then we'll just decant the juice into another thing and then we'll sell it. But people usually tip down the drain.

SPEAKER_00 41:32

Why it's sell it. Wish I was that person. Oh no, it's so small.

SPEAKER_01 41:36

SPEAKER_02 42:38

SPEAKER_00 42:39

We used to go out, we'd have pre's at mine when I lived in Newcastle and went to uni. And um I actually never actually rated the rest of the night. Yeah. I'd always be standing in the pubboard the nightclub going, we should have just stayed up. My house that was eats more fun. You've been a barrel fun.

SPEAKER_00 43:18

Yeah, I know.

SPEAKER_01 43:19

But now that we don't usually well, a zone, we're not gonna be the first ones up.

SPEAKER_00 43:23

I know, we were usually first cab off the rank. That's what I mean. But a ridiculous o'clock. I'm hoping we're gonna have like an 11 o'clock time slot.

SPEAKER_01 43:30

Oh, hopefully.

SPEAKER_00 43:31

But because I'm like, look, it's I want to get up and I mean, I know I'm not a food girl, but like it would be nice to get up and have pre breakfast and then start hair and makeup. Okay, well there we go. I'll just make sure I'll I'll message you at 4 a.m.

SPEAKER_00 43:57

Yeah, no. I'll be in oil I've been oil. Yeah, I know on the same brunette hair, although blondes struggle with um oily hair too, but they have dry hair shampoo.

SPEAKER_01 44:08

Oh, I can't. This scalp does not care for dry shampoo.

SPEAKER_00 44:12

No, and dry hair shampoo looks shit house on brunettes.

SPEAKER_01 44:17

It's like, uh, why are we grey?

SPEAKER_00 44:19

Yeah, yeah. Why what happened to my hair colour where like dry hair shampoo on a blonde is Chef's kiss and it actually improves the look, the colour.

SPEAKER_01 44:30

See, I can't do it. Like, I don't because I always think about you, because you can do really good buffon hair and stuff like that.

SPEAKER_00 44:36

I just that's the only that's the only time I'm using dry hair shampoo.

SPEAKER_01 44:39

Yeah, I was about to say, so you must use because that's why you don't wash your hair, right? It's like for people, they'll you need that bit of dirt and that grit to be able to.

SPEAKER_00 44:48

I'm still washing it the night before. I'm washing it the day before. Like I'm kind of washing it in the afternoon. Okay. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 44:54

So when you're washing off your tan?

SPEAKER_00 44:56

Uh yeah, probably. But I'm tanning like I tan really early in the week because I want to tinker around with that colour for a couple of days. I just hate the smell, so I'll do it on like two days for sure. Do you know what you I'm sending you home with championship tan today? Right. You tell me if I can smell it. If you can smell a goddamn thing. Do you know why?

No smell with Championship Tan

SPEAKER_00 45:16

It's no smell.

SPEAKER_01 45:17

I I will love this. Do you know why I can't stand the smell? When I was a kid and did fizzy, the formulation back then was not good. Oh, it was like napalm. It that's the association I have with the smell of fake tan. Yeah, it's the same as that must smell. Like I it just percolates in my nostrils.

SPEAKER_00 45:37

There's such a strong connection between memory and smell as well.

SPEAKER_01 45:41

Okay, so good. All right, we're watching a turn. I love this one. If your hair hurts, it's probably secure enough. Yes. I like that one.

SPEAKER_00 45:48

Job done. Job done. I always said like anytime I get my hair professionally done, like for my wedding or formal or whatever, I was like, I want this to look the same on Tuesday. Yes. Like, I don't want this thing moving.

SPEAKER_01 46:02

Yep, don't want it moving.

SPEAKER_00 46:03

That's part of the brief.

SPEAKER_01 46:05

And then they said um hairspray, hairspray, and then hairspray again.

SPEAKER_00 46:08

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 46:09

And hairspray your face if you like. Yes, hairspray your face if you don't have good setting spray.

SPEAKER_00 46:13

Yeah, I probably should invest in a nice setting spray this year.

SPEAKER_01 46:16

Yeah, I mean, it's probably not great for my face.

SPEAKER_00 46:18

So spraying it in alcohol all over it, but you know, whatever. I'm putting alcohol in it, so you know, you might as well put it on it.

SPEAKER_01 46:27

It means a friend. Yeah. Okay, so oh, I like this. So hair piece for the win. A rat.

SPEAKER_00 46:32

I ratted last year. I got myself a rat. Yep. Off sheen.

SPEAKER_01 46:36

Bus by the if people didn't know, we call the hair pieces a rat.

SPEAKER_00 46:40

Yeah, because it looks like so that also comes from uh one zone. Uh, this poor girl's rat fell out of her hair onto the floor. And power to her. She powered on like nothing happened. Yeah, you just got it. And everyone, she would have been looking up in just like turning around and looking up into the crowd at times, and everyone's just like it's there, just god. I could not stop looking at the rat. And um, I was like, I want to tie a piece of fishing line to it and like like just make it jump, tug it, make it jump. And and God love her, when the routine was over and she picked it up off the floor, she turned around to everyone and had a real laugh about it. I was like, put on your love. You've got to laugh at yourself.

SPEAKER_01 47:30

Legend. I've got to get one.

SPEAKER_00 47:32

Definitely get it on.

SPEAKER_01 47:33

Okay, and I like this one. Fasoline over your teeth so your lips don't get caught or cotton mouth.

SPEAKER_00 47:40

This was actually my like this is goated. This like all the other ones, I was sort of like, yeah, like I can imagine that.

SPEAKER_02 47:48

Yep.

SPEAKER_00 47:49

This was an absolute bolt from the blue because I do, when I'm nervous, get very cottony mouth. Same. So dry. Like, it's like I've been walking in the desert for like the last year. I'm like, what happened to all the water I just drank?

SPEAKER_01 48:02

Well, it turns out you don't drink water.

SPEAKER_00 48:04

No, I don't drink a lot, but you know, usually I but no, there's nothing you can do to stop your mouth from going dry. And then when you try and smile in the warm-up and the dance, you're teeth. Yeah, or fuck an old person with no teething and it's not very nice to look at for the dragons.

SPEAKER_01 48:25

There you go, you need Vaseline. Fun facts.

SPEAKER_00 48:28

Jesus.

SPEAKER_01 48:29

Alright, so that is your hair and makeup. Anything to add? Any thoughts that you had? Um, I'm all about the glue. Yeah. Okay, so we got that. Now we're on comp day. Okay. Okay, we've got there, we've got everything prepped. We're here on comp day. Guys, we need to have the equivalent of a first aid kit for the fizzy bag. We are extra clips, bobby pins, clear straps, extra lipstick, whatever it is that you're like, oh shit. Urafin, panadole, band-aids, band-aids,

Packing the bag is a must

SPEAKER_01 49:02

all of that crap, you haven't in an emergency kit. Right? That's what we're doing. I love that. Erwin?

SPEAKER_00 49:10

You know what's really good for those little kits is the travel size, um, the travel size bits and pieces that you get from like priceline. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They do like a travel size hairspray, they do travel size everything that all fits in. We need all of those things, right?

SPEAKER_01 49:25

And it lives in our fizzy bag. Yep, deep heat. Deep heat, oh, deep heat, yes. Deep heat. Deep heat. We're putting all of that in there. There's just things that actually tampons.

SPEAKER_00 49:36

Oh, mate. Always well, look at Mariah and Montana. Their their hack was always tampon. Always tampon. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 49:44

I got talk about Perry last year in the novice um teams weekend. My period came a week early, one week early. Thank God Nick was in the other stall. I went, Does anyone have a tampon? I'd had none. And she's like, fizzy back. You haven't got hers.

SPEAKER_00 50:03

And I was like, thank Christ. Being a woman, honestly, you never know what's around the corner.

SPEAKER_01 50:09

No, sucks. Okay, that's what we're doing. We're gonna have them. Phone charger or a battery pack.

SPEAKER_00 50:14

I rate the battery pack. Being um a social media manager for my day job, I carry one around on the rake because even when I've got a new brand new phone, it like if you're doing video, that battery is buggered.

SPEAKER_01 50:29

But make sure your battery pack is um also charged amount of times. That's what we're getting, guys. So make sure you've got that. AirPods for run throughs. I've never thought about this.

SPEAKER_00 50:38

Yeah, I really liked that suggestion, but I think I'm gonna opt for the noise canceling. Noise canker, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 50:44

So if you want to do some run-throughs, or if you just want to tune people out.

SPEAKER_00 50:48

Yeah, you know. The other hack that Mariah told me was listen to the music on the way to the competition.

SPEAKER_01 50:56

Oh, yeah. Do you like to do that?

SPEAKER_00 50:58

No, I listen to my pump-up music, which we have created a competition pump-up playlist on Spotify. So, I mean, maybe don't listen to that. Maybe listen to because you know, we were on first when we were novice and um and then I'd get there and you ha they don't play the music. No, yeah, especially if your I was in the first heat. And I had not heard the music that morning. Yes. And um Mariah was like, what, you didn't listen to it in the car? And I was like, We do that.

SPEAKER_02 51:35

That would have been useful information yesterday.

SPEAKER_01 51:41

But then I'll I'm gonna check in with you at 6 p.m. that night and be like, Do you want to hear that music again? Oh mate. Absolutely not!

SPEAKER_00 51:48

Never want to hear that music ever again. It and then you've got to do it at Teams and you're like, oh, this old chess. All right.

SPEAKER_01 51:57

Hip this view, hip flask. I don't know if people were joking about this, but I was like, or I have heard rumors.

SPEAKER_00 52:04

Yeah, that people had a real channel. And about a chip. Which I won't mention any names, but I won't mention it. I have heard, and it's unsurprising that that information got back to me specifically.

SPEAKER_01 52:15

You'd be like, Do you want to join?

SPEAKER_00 52:16

Do you want to go home over here? We're all fucking rolling drunk.

SPEAKER_01 52:20

I think the people who message it was the people who watch. And I'm like, oh yeah, I can see that.

SPEAKER_00 52:24

Yeah, I can see that Snooky Snooky. I freaking rate that for getting off the floor because you know, especially when you're a beginner or like even intermediate, you're off the floor and you and I hang around all day. Oh yeah, we're we're committed, we're in, we're low. And actually, then we go to the pub afterwards as well. Um, I I would actually it'd help get through the afternoon.

SPEAKER_01 52:45

Yeah. Just do it.

SPEAKER_00 52:47

Yeah, picklebacks.

SPEAKER_01 52:48

Oh, picklebacks. Yeah, we'll just say it's for the cramping. Yeah. Can't cramp. Okay. Uh rescue rescue remedy. I guess if you're gonna do it the the legitimate way. Yeah, the like

Rescue remedy

SPEAKER_01 53:00

fizzy way. I know I did laugh one of the ladies like, rescue remedy, just chuck out the chuck out the Doppler, don't even worry about that, just scull it.

SPEAKER_00 53:07

Skull it out to a shot of rescue remedy. Um, one of the nurses at work told me actually a hack. She said it's way more effective if you put it into water. Yeah, right. So put it into your water bottle, drop the don't drop the drops. Fucking tip a bit of it. Tip a bit of it.

SPEAKER_01 53:25

Into your water bottle. I feel like I need this because I'm really I get really nervy. I get really nervous before I go on.

SPEAKER_00 53:33

Mate, even when we were talking about glue before, I was like, It's really yeah, you can get really nerve-wracking.

SPEAKER_01 53:41

Also, actually, because I've had to reset my vagus nervous system so much with that thing. It's like you gotta breathe in for like two or four, whatever you can breathe in, and you need to breathe out for the double length of time that you breathed in. So for example, you breathe in for two, you gotta breathe out for four, and I cannot tell you how much that settles you.

SPEAKER_00 54:01

Oh, you always get to, you know, getting you're just standing in that backstage area in your uh martial lines, yeah, looking at each other, and most of the time you're standing next to a complete stranger. Yeah, yeah, yeah. How many times have I looked at a complete stranger and just gone, why do we do this? Why do we do this to ourselves? And they always go, I don't know. So fun. Never met you before, but we're on the same.

SPEAKER_01 54:29

We're all in it together. Um, wet wipes. Yeah, water wet wipes. So bag in bags. Yeah, I know, right? Um, I have never heard this spray. Rosin spray for sweaty hands and feet, and or you could probably just put hairspray on it. I'm a s I'm a sweaty gal. Yeah, right. But on my hands and feet. Yeah. And I'm always worried that I'm just yeah, it's a nerve. Yeah, yeah. You've got strong nerves. Oh my god, they're like so.

SPEAKER_00 54:56

If they were a person, they'd be a bodybuilder.

SPEAKER_01 54:59

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 55:00

So strong. Yeah. You and your pelvic floor and your nerves.

SPEAKER_01 55:04

We just cramp up like we just up. Seriously. Okay. Um, oh, other ones. Oh, VIX. So supposedly VIX do this. A VIX inhaler and it has lavender oil in it. And so if you're a bit stuffy or whatever, or you need to be able to get more oxygen.

Get a Vics inhaler

SPEAKER_00 55:23

I love that feeling. I love that feeling of VIX fake VIX like opening you up.

SPEAKER_01 55:29

Yes.

SPEAKER_00 55:29

That feeling of that.

SPEAKER_01 55:31

And another lady messaged and said, um, she brings alcohol wipes and sniffs at if she's feeling nauseous.

SPEAKER_00 55:38

Oh, like you get a bit like a smelling salt. Kind of like a smelling salt. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I was like, that's a pretty good hack.

SPEAKER_01 55:43

Because I don't know if it's yeah, I I get really nervy and I can get really nauseous. That's why I have to eat. Yeah, right, got you. Because I get like that. Um, some other little hacks when you're actually on the floor, use the same get down for floor drill every year.

SPEAKER_00 56:00

I love that. And because if you can do something nice, like solid, yeah. Um a little bit of flares nice, something a bit different. I like that, but you've you've got to know how to do it. So and you've got to do it well and confidently. Yes. And don't fuck around with it. So if you've got the same one and it looks nice and you can use it, yeah. Just keep running it. I know. I was like, You don't change a winning team.

SPEAKER_01 56:27

I can't actually, because you know me. Fucking all every time get in a they're like, hey, you know what? Best way to do it, a get down, let's do it as a lunge.

SPEAKER_00 56:36

And I'm like, you know what? No! Every time there's a get down and I'm just looking at you, every time the the L word gets mentioned, I look at you straight away. I well, what I said to Nikki and the people yesterday, I was like, you know what EP love a lunge. I was like sick for a lunge. I just loathe this thing. It's funny because when you talk to any EP lady, they love it. They all go, lunge is my favourite. When when we were talking about the codes and like all the routines that they do, and we were like, oh, lunge, and all the EP people were commenting, going, Oh, that's my favorite. Still. It's hard.

SPEAKER_01 57:16

It's hard, it hurts. I just, I just yeah, we all know my hatred for it. It's just, I just feel like, oh, maybe I should just do it. I should actually do the lunch for the get down because people are gonna be like, oh my god, she did it. Yeah, she probably not do it because she threw the shit at it. I really am. Okay, when facing the so marching, when you're facing the back, let it all out. You breathe. That's when we're breathing, when the judges can't see you, man. And can I swear if you have to, like I do? Guys, can we please ask? This is our this is our um ask for the community. The amount of times we get messaged to say, can someone, can you please do a marching episode? Can you take us out of March? We are obviously not the people to do it.

SPEAKER_00 58:02

We need someone

We need a marching expert

SPEAKER_00 58:03

to come on. Tag here. Yeah, so what we're gonna do is because you bitches are way too modest. I don't understand the modesty. If you're good at fizzy, bloody tell the world. Tell everyone. If you're in a shirt, tell me says I'm really good at it. Tell Yanen. Like, so if you know someone who's really good at marching, tag them underneath this kind of and let's harass the shit out of them until we get them on the show.

SPEAKER_01 58:31

We need to know, we need to know, like, obviously, your teachers. So your teachers are there, they're gonna help you, right? That's that's kind of the thing. Yeah, but people keep asking us, and we're like, Don't ask. Once again, we are not the people to ask. So we need to know. We want someone to come on to a dedicated thing and give us the visualizations. What are we doing? What are we feeling? What are we thinking about when we're doing it? Are we kicking a soccer ball? Are we Yes? Yes. What's the hack? Yeah, give us we need to know, right? So that thing. So when you're doing in the comp, that's what we're doing. Great. All right, and one of the last ones that I've got here is foldable chairs for stadium seating.

SPEAKER_00 59:13

Yep, I blew mine. So the first year I didn't have one, and my you weren't there that year. My arse was on fire all day, and I looked like an absolute knob. So it was a bit like when you turned up to grands without your pen. That's how I felt with going to the basketball stadium that has got no seats, just this huge bench situation with no chair. Oh, yeah. And Anna goes, oh yeah, by the way, everyone has a chair. And I was like, good to know. Again. And for emotion.

unknown 59:45

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 59:46

We are going, we are the ultimate hack queens, okay? We want all the phone. No one wants to be Justine at Grand. No, without you don't want to be the pen, the pen.

SPEAKER_01 1:00:04

You're like on the side felt. I choose not to run. She's choosing not to use a pen. But throw them. You know, a seasoned fizzy, um, what do you call it? Fizzy spectator queen. She has got the eskey full of food. Yep. She has got the thermos, may or may not have a little cheeky cheeky. She's always got a blanket because it's always middle of winter and it's fucking cold. It's cold. And we have got the foldable chairs, and I I'll stand by, it's not sponsored. BCF,
