1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,640
Speaker 1: This is the Fits In with Kate Richie podcast. This

2
00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:06,000
Speaker 1: is an amazing story because we fell in love with

3
00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:09,119
Speaker 1: Stephen Bradbury. Guys and I love that. It's sort of

4
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:13,280
Speaker 1: colloquialism and what do you call it? Local lingo to

5
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 1: use the term Stephen Bradbury when you have a win

6
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:18,920
Speaker 1: and everyone else's falling over. He's done a Bradbury. He's

7
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:19,800
Speaker 1: done a Bradbury.

8
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:23,040
Speaker 2: It's one of the greatest races of all time.

9
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:24,799
Speaker 1: Get sick of watching it?

10
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 3: Can you imagine if you were watching it live?

11
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 1: Like, what is actually like? If I said to you

12
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:32,920
Speaker 1: one of those moments, If I said to you before

13
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 1: the race, this is what's going to happen, There's no

14
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 1: way you'd believe it.

15
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 2: But see his tactics of I can't win this now,

16
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:41,959
Speaker 2: I can't win it. And the three guys that I'm

17
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:46,199
Speaker 2: up against, they're very even and they're very competitive, So

18
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:48,640
Speaker 2: why don't I just sit behind them and you don't

19
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 2: never know they might all fall over just before we

20
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 2: turn around for the final straight.

21
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 1: Bang one, two, three, four vs. Throw our first Winter

22
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 1: gold medal, Olympic gold medal. Now let's talk about because

23
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:05,039
Speaker 1: we know he can ice skate let's talk about the

24
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 1: fact that he received a Bravery award in Brisbane yesterday.

25
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 1: This is so good. So Stephen can skate, Stephen can surf.

26
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:21,759
Speaker 1: So he's out there catching all the other surfers fell over,

27
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:25,680
Speaker 1: nobody turned up on the door, any won No. He

28
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 1: was out having a surf, and then all of a

29
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 1: sudden he saw what he thought was a bit of

30
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 1: drift wood or a log floating out the back, bobbing

31
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 1: up and down. Then realized it was a teenage girl's head.

32
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 1: It was three girls. That was the first head he saw.

33
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,839
Speaker 1: Then look beyond he saw three girls that were caught

34
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 1: in the surf being dragged out to sea, bobbing up

35
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 1: and down and staying under for far too long. Bradbury

36
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 1: swims over, grabs the first girl, drags her onto the

37
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 1: board her back, yells out to the locals and the

38
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 1: guards look after her. I'll be back in a minute.

39
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:10,920
Speaker 1: Then goes back out on his board, grabs the other

40
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 1: two as they're going under, and drags them back onto

41
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 1: the board. Manages to handle the board right, shortboard three

42
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 1: people on it, and manages to bring those girls in

43
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 1: undesirable Yeah, safely, the three of them, I think one

44
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 1: received mouth to mouth on the shore and they all survived.

45
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:37,119
Speaker 1: Stephen was there with one girl hugging her, saying, you

46
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:40,920
Speaker 1: just saved my life. Well he did, said to her,

47
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 1: I saved the country not long ago, guys, I kept.

48
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 3: One say that he didn't say that.

49
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 1: Stephen Bradbury.

50
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 3: So glad that happened to him, because I often think

51
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:57,359
Speaker 3: about Stephen Bradbury. How often I do a little bit

52
00:02:57,720 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 3: because I wonder, and I don't want to put words

53
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:02,679
Speaker 3: in his mouth, but I think that there might there

54
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:06,119
Speaker 3: may be some feelings beyond winning that gold medal where

55
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 3: sometimes when he's on his own, he might think, I'm

56
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 3: I'm deserving of this and I'm a bit of a

57
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 3: joke and I didn't deserve this medal, and it's it's yes,

58
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 3: I'm part of Australian Olympic folklore, but am I a hero?

59
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 1: Well you are, Steve right now.

60
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 2: It happened in the right country. We're the only country

61
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 2: in the world where we can see the merit in it,

62
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. I think he would be

63
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 2: looked down upon in other countries, but in Australia it's

64
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 2: like your a legend, mate.

65
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 1: But I also like and I think what you're calling for,

66
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 1: Kate is to be able to say, now, if you

67
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 1: become an accidental hero, to go, oh, he's not a Bradbury,

68
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 1: so we're shifting what that Bradbury means.

69
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 3: Oh No, what I'm saying is, let's get rid of

70
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 3: that altogether.

71
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 1: I don't call him a Bradbury at all. Sorry, Steve,

72
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 1: and you've been stripped of any fame for your efforts.

73
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 1: Kate's called it.

74
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 3: No, I think he's amazing.
