I'm in Sydney a bunch of press stuff today for
the super campaign, so down here for a couple of days.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Do you realize that every time there is a Queensland
Championship for kids, like high school kids, and they read
out the record holder for Butterfly.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
It's you.
Speaker 4 (00:47):
I know, I know.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
I think one of them got broken last year, which
is crazy that it stood that long. But yeah, every year,
someone like a mutual friend or a family friend will
send me a picture of the program.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
Still there, still there.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
And I can tell you because my son was a
Butterfly and there was this thing amongst his school friends
that it's like, we're going to get Cody this.
Speaker 4 (01:07):
Yeah, why did you go back?
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Why did you try and get into the paras Olympics.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
It was one of those things that I was so
passionate about young, and it was I had to press
pause on it or stop it when I got signed
and went to pursue music and just had to kind
of forget about it for a while, and it just
kept nagging at me and tugging at me, and it
was one of those things I eventually couldn't ignore and
kind of had to.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
Come back to.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
And it was a big risk to take, but definitely
got out of it what I wanted to and it
taught me so much.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Yeah, you also got probably Australia's greatest female Olympian out
of it, do you not?
Speaker 2 (01:41):
As a friend?
Speaker 4 (01:42):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know there's some upside.

a few negronisy and I'm the first to whip out

Speaker 3 (03:01):
You can order an Uber courier from like ten between
ten and four this Saturday to come for free and
pick up your pods and take them to Red Cross,
which is so cool and like kind of makes it
a lot easier for us order to do that because
I feel like, you know, we're constantly at least I'm
constantly like wanting to fill a bag and do it,
but I just never do it because I don't know
where the bins are. I don't you know, don't have
(03:22):
time to drive to the store or whatever. And so
it's it was like, it's a really nice thing. It
makes it really accessible for us. He's to give to
people who may need it more than they do if
they've got sort of stuff from the past still on
the back of the cupboard.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
So is that saying so they will pick up because
I only wear secondhand clothes, and let me tell you
that Red Cross is actually the Kreme Doula Creme of
second shopping.
