WEBVTT - Olympic Rowing in Croc Filled River! 

0:00:00.190 --> 0:00:03.730
<v Speaker 1>G'day Bushy here and today Australia is in the global

0:00:03.770 --> 0:00:05.109
<v Speaker 1>news because of this.

0:00:05.330 --> 0:00:08.170
<v Speaker 2>Well a river that is home to about 500 crocs

0:00:08.390 --> 0:00:11.790
<v Speaker 2>has been chosen to host Olympic and Paralympic rowing and

0:00:11.830 --> 0:00:15.410
<v Speaker 2>canoeing events at the 2032 Brisbane Games.

0:00:15.510 --> 0:00:19.710
<v Speaker 1>That's right we're hosting the 2032 Olympic rowing in croc

0:00:19.750 --> 0:00:22.500
<v Speaker 1>country and we think it's great however the rest of

0:00:22.520 --> 0:00:24.300
<v Speaker 1>the world seems to be freaking out and I can

0:00:24.340 --> 0:00:28.250
<v Speaker 1>understand your concerns however as the unofficial Olympic ambassador I'm

0:00:28.290 --> 0:00:31.000
<v Speaker 1>here to tell you why it's great. Firstly, just think

0:00:31.040 --> 0:00:33.620
<v Speaker 1>of all the world records we'll get, because it's one

0:00:33.680 --> 0:00:35.820
<v Speaker 1>thing to row for gold, but it's a whole other

0:00:35.840 --> 0:00:38.220
<v Speaker 1>thing to row for your life. And the prospect of

0:00:38.280 --> 0:00:42.840
<v Speaker 1>becoming Snappy's lunch, well, it's a great motivator. Ow, he

0:00:42.880 --> 0:00:45.830
<v Speaker 1>bit me on the clacker. Now, I will admit I

0:00:45.890 --> 0:00:48.910
<v Speaker 1>know very little about rowing. However, it usually means you've

0:00:48.950 --> 0:00:52.170
<v Speaker 1>been to private school. But I have observed that there's

0:00:52.229 --> 0:00:54.660
<v Speaker 1>usually one guy who does a lot less than the

0:00:54.720 --> 0:00:56.860
<v Speaker 1>rest of the team. I think they're called the cox head.

0:00:56.980 --> 0:00:59.840
<v Speaker 1>So in my opinion, the cox head will now be

0:00:59.880 --> 0:01:02.560
<v Speaker 1>a very valued player in the boat because they'll be

0:01:02.640 --> 0:01:05.860
<v Speaker 1>responsible for keeping everyone in the boat alive. They'll be

0:01:05.880 --> 0:01:10.180
<v Speaker 1>the cox head. However, them counting one, two, three, four,

0:01:10.200 --> 0:01:13.230
<v Speaker 1>it won't be strokes. It'll be them counting submerging crocs.

0:01:13.450 --> 0:01:16.209
<v Speaker 1>Imagine the ratings. It'll be like a gladiator sport back

0:01:16.250 --> 0:01:18.690
<v Speaker 1>to the good old days where people's lives were actually

0:01:18.730 --> 0:01:20.490
<v Speaker 1>at risk. Kill or be killed.

0:01:21.690 --> 0:01:22.030
<v Speaker 2>Great.

0:01:22.250 --> 0:01:25.869
<v Speaker 1>However, again, don't worry because crocs will only eat you

0:01:26.110 --> 0:01:29.080
<v Speaker 1>if they get hold of you. So yeah, row faster.

0:01:30.000 --> 0:01:32.480
<v Speaker 1>But don't worry. For all the nervous nitties, I've got

0:01:32.520 --> 0:01:36.300
<v Speaker 1>a contingency plan. We'll just have Robert Irwin on standby

0:01:36.780 --> 0:01:39.280
<v Speaker 1>put everyone at ease. So then if a croc does

0:01:39.319 --> 0:01:41.589
<v Speaker 1>come up, he can just jump out and wrestle it.

0:01:41.840 --> 0:01:44.660
<v Speaker 1>For actually, nowadays he'll probably turn it more into a

0:01:44.700 --> 0:01:48.220
<v Speaker 1>Paso Doble. But yeah, we might have to bring in Dave.

0:01:48.330 --> 0:01:50.910
<v Speaker 1>In all seriousness, I'm sure if a croc does try

0:01:50.930 --> 0:01:52.940
<v Speaker 1>and eat someone in a boat, I'm sure we'll shoot it.

0:01:53.150 --> 0:01:55.310
<v Speaker 1>We could always call in that Turkish guy, you know,

0:01:55.330 --> 0:02:00.410
<v Speaker 1>from the Olympics. And then we could turn it into

0:02:00.470 --> 0:02:07.330
<v Speaker 1>another water Olympic sport like this. Or we could turn

0:02:07.370 --> 0:02:10.220
<v Speaker 1>it into really good handbags and that'll start the new

0:02:10.280 --> 0:02:13.400
<v Speaker 1>sprint race of all the housewives. But to all the

0:02:13.440 --> 0:02:16.240
<v Speaker 1>foreigners planning on making a holiday out of a trip

0:02:16.280 --> 0:02:20.740
<v Speaker 1>to wonderful Rockhampton and the croc rowing, well, just make

0:02:20.800 --> 0:02:22.780
<v Speaker 1>sure when you duck off to go for a little swim,

0:02:22.800 --> 0:02:26.410
<v Speaker 1>you don't get confused by our signage because the signs say,

0:02:26.690 --> 0:02:30.250
<v Speaker 1>crocs do not swim here, which sounds like crocs do

0:02:30.290 --> 0:02:35.030
<v Speaker 1>not swim here, but it means crocs do not swim here. Anyway,

0:02:35.110 --> 0:02:37.510
<v Speaker 1>I just love how scared everyone are of crocodiles and

0:02:37.560 --> 0:02:39.100
<v Speaker 1>they don't even know about drop bears yet.
