Episode Quotes

  • I think the best Christmas song ever—and it's not a Christmas song—is Paul Kelly's 'How to Make Gravy.'

  • It's okay not to run through the holiday period. You can just give your body a break and enjoy the season—rest is a good thing for the body and mind.

  • Hopefully we've given you a couple of laughs and maybe a little bit of motivation to have some fun and enjoy running over the holiday period.

  • I think the six-star will remain, and I don't know what Abbott are going to do—whether they'll run the six-star and the nine-star, or whether they get rid of the six-star and just run the nine-star.
