Man, it 118 00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:23,120 Speaker 2: was a lot of hard work, so went so quick. 119 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:24,840 Speaker 2: So when you asked me some of those questions or 120 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 2: made a few notes just to remind us of certain thing, 121 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:30,039 Speaker 2: that's all right. Let's let's start off with what exactly 122 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:30,800 Speaker 2: was your role over it? 123 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:33,480 Speaker 1: Because when they said you're going over everybody that I 124 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:36,720 Speaker 1: had said, they're like, why is why they're sending why 125 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:38,920 Speaker 1: they're sending your data over there?

I kept pressing them saying, what 129 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:46,760 Speaker 2: do you want me to do? They're a little bit unsure. 130 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 2: Look the way it is these days, the immediacy of 131 00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:53,360 Speaker 2: media is so important and so as opposed to, you know, 132 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 2: putting things out rather than newspapers and that these days, 133 00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 2: the more you can deliver it electronically and immediate with that, 134 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:03,920 Speaker 2: you know, the spoken word, the better. Now, Fox, we 135 00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:07,360 Speaker 2: did not have we're not rights holders. What worked in 136 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:09,640 Speaker 2: our favor a lot of times is most a lot 137 00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,720 Speaker 2: of the major events happened while everyone was asleep. So 138 00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:14,800 Speaker 2: when people would get up first in the morning and 139 00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,240 Speaker 2: they just wanted to know everything that had happened in Paris, 140 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 2: or the events, or the color of excitement, the stories, 141 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,680 Speaker 2: then they would turn on Fox Sports or Sky News. 142 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:28,120 Speaker 2: It was used across many mediums. They could watch that 143 00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:32,640 Speaker 2: and Missile and I would recap the day's events. What 144 00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:33,080 Speaker 2: did you do? 145 00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:35,120 Speaker 1: What was like you and the missile What did you 146 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:38,000 Speaker 1: get up to day? Because it seems like you had 147 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 1: some long days. 148 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 2: Well, we get up at seven to seven thirty most 149 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 2: mornings and get prepared for the day's events. First thing 150 00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,600 Speaker 2: you do is get up in the morning, and Missile 151 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:50,360 Speaker 2: and I would would sit and have a look at 152 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:53,400 Speaker 2: the sheet the day's events and in the day we'd 153 00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:56,640 Speaker 2: look to go attend one maybe two events, and then 154 00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:00,200 Speaker 2: at night we always went to the swimming. That was 155 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,600 Speaker 2: the big thing, and he would he get up there, 156 00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:04,200 Speaker 2: made it. That was one of the great things. Listen. 157 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 2: I'll talk about a little bit later the nuances of 158 00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:10,040 Speaker 2: Missile as far as you are swimming concerned. But yeah, 159 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:12,200 Speaker 2: he picked one or two events, go to him in 160 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:13,960 Speaker 2: the day, go to the swimming at night, and then 161 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 2: basically record the podcast from anything from ten thirty am 162 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:23,280 Speaker 2: to twelve thirty am, so ten thirty pm to yeah, 163 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:25,720 Speaker 2: not a lot of twelve thirty one o'clock the latest 164 00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:27,960 Speaker 2: we did.

That the hardest thing, And the 168 00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:35,240 Speaker 2: other thing was doing some along the way, doing some 169 00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:38,680 Speaker 2: athlete interviews as well. It was hardest thing because I 170 00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:42,520 Speaker 2: think you're in a new city. We've been to Paris before, 171 00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:44,800 Speaker 2: but the new city is Olympic city, and you pumped, 172 00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:46,240 Speaker 2: you want to go and have a beer. By the 173 00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:50,040 Speaker 2: time we finished some nights, myself and Missile and his 174 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:52,800 Speaker 2: girlfriend Rose, it might have been Brent rued Pete Adellan. 175 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 2: We just go literally have one beers. I've got to 176 00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:57,839 Speaker 2: go to bed because it's on again the next day. Yeah. 177 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:02,040 Speaker 1: I spoke to Paddy Cummins today the Australian Cricket Company 178 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:05,760 Speaker 1: asked about you how you went over in Paris, and 179 00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:08,120 Speaker 1: he said he made a good point. I heard you 180 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,360 Speaker 1: actually say the same thing. He said, I can imagine 181 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 1: how hard because there's so many obscure sports in the Olympics, 182 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:16,439 Speaker 1: Like there's so many weird games that you probably don't 183 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:18,120 Speaker 1: know like the back of your hand, like you know 184 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:20,120 Speaker 1: rugby league. He said, it must have been tough for 185 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,880 Speaker 1: you to try to analyze sports that you had zero 186 00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:23,600 Speaker 1: idea about. 187 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:25,719 Speaker 2: Now, I don't want to sound like I've gone down 188 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:29,440 Speaker 2: like a salt mine or a coal mine that you know, 189 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,160 Speaker 2: it's so difficult a job. But I've got new respect 190 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:37,000 Speaker 2: for journals and people that it was seriously hard mental work. 191 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:39,959 Speaker 2: And I've got new respect for journals because journo is 192 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,120 Speaker 2: going to they go into wide range of sports that 193 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:45,440 Speaker 2: they talk about. I know, regul league inside out. You 194 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,440 Speaker 2: can sit there and just watch the game and just 195 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:56,600 Speaker 2: write or talk about it effortlessly. Well, but to go 196 00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,120 Speaker 2: and go going to cover the skateboarding. I'm going to 197 00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:01,280 Speaker 2: do something on the some of the beach, the nuances 198 00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:05,400 Speaker 2: of the beach, volleyball, but just all these different events covering. 199 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:08,080 Speaker 1: Off on the events. What was your high like? What 200 00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:09,280 Speaker 1: were the best ones that you went to? 201 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:11,719 Speaker 2: Some of the vents went, as I said before, the 202 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,680 Speaker 2: swimming with the missile every night, it was terrific. Me. 203 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,439 Speaker 2: Ready and I went to Rolling Garras one day on 204 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:21,280 Speaker 2: the clay courts. There we watched to Novak Djokovic play. 205 00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,439 Speaker 2: And then as we're about to leave, Dave Ricchio tipped 206 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:27,640 Speaker 2: off Brent Rude and said, hey, mate, you and Maddie 207 00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:30,520 Speaker 2: go to one of the outs out like outside courts 208 00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:33,640 Speaker 2: and watch some of the doubles. Mate, it's so intimate 209 00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:36,120 Speaker 2: you can reach out and grab them.

Mate, How good was that? So I 213 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:45,720 Speaker 2: went and sat there and I was watching. It was 214 00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:48,320 Speaker 2: like a couple of German guys versus a couple of checks, 215 00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:51,320 Speaker 2: and the check guy just kept staring over at me 216 00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:53,240 Speaker 2: and Ready and I going, what's going on here?

Don't give up, and 223 00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:10,079 Speaker 2: we just fit in perfectly. 224 00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:11,480 Speaker 1: They didn't. They didn't kick it out. 225 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:12,280 Speaker 2: They didn't kick us out. 226 00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:14,760 Speaker 1: Well they were they a bit more obscure player like 227 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:15,880 Speaker 1: you didn't know who the players were. 228 00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:17,800 Speaker 2: I didn't know who they were.

Yeah, 230 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:22,720 Speaker 2: but it was still pack because people are there to 231 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:23,240 Speaker 2: see events. 232 00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:25,000 Speaker 1: Well, they love it.

It took 236 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:38,920 Speaker 2: place under the Eiffel Tower, and saw that rugby seven's 237 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:42,000 Speaker 2: was really good rugby seven's like the men and the 238 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:45,440 Speaker 2: women's rugby seven because the stadiums there was it was 239 00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:49,199 Speaker 2: packed and sitting one day at the rugby sevens when 240 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:52,719 Speaker 2: the USA were playing. About twenty meters away from me 241 00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:56,200 Speaker 2: was Jason Kelce. Oh really yeah, brother of Travis Kelsey. 242 00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:58,120 Speaker 2: Obviously he was supporting the team. 243 00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:00,600 Speaker 1: Wow, brother and lord of Taylor Swift for there go 244 00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:02,280 Speaker 1: that's insane road cycling. 245 00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:04,840 Speaker 2: Talking about insane, the road cycling was insane. I walked 246 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,800 Speaker 2: down to Montmarte, down that milin Rouge area, and it 247 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:11,240 Speaker 2: was like they were riding through the cobblestone streets the 248 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:15,960 Speaker 2: French with like singing the national anthem, a few sneakies. 249 00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:18,040 Speaker 2: It was a lot of fun. Mate, went down, went 250 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:21,360 Speaker 2: four hours down, down south, went to Marseille, the great 251 00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:25,480 Speaker 2: port city at the bottom in southern sou southern France, 252 00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:29,880 Speaker 2: to watch the Matilda's play. They took on Germany. They're beaten, 253 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,400 Speaker 2: they'll beaten. It was two or three kneel by the Germans. 254 00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:36,200 Speaker 2: Bad result that Mate. One of the highlights was going 255 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:39,040 Speaker 2: to Marseille. Myself. I'd always wanted to go to Marseilles. 256 00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:41,320 Speaker 2: You know, south of France. You've got the south of 257 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:43,439 Speaker 2: France like Centrepez and car and all that, But when 258 00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:45,680 Speaker 2: you go around a little bit further to the left, 259 00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:49,480 Speaker 2: it's not they're tougher port cities. You got Toulin, you've 260 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:52,360 Speaker 2: got Marseille, and Marseilles has got a reputation being a tough, 261 00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 2: rather dangerous town. I didn't find it dangerous. I ever 262 00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:58,600 Speaker 2: felt threatened there. But what's amazing about Marseille. This is 263 00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:02,000 Speaker 2: the reason why you have to go to Say, Marseille 264 00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:03,880 Speaker 2: might sit in the south of France, but it is 265 00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:07,120 Speaker 2: not a European city. What they talk about, they say, 266 00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:09,760 Speaker 2: it's just like that. It's got the flavors and the 267 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:13,600 Speaker 2: atmosphere of North Africa, like a big North African city. 268 00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:16,480 Speaker 2: And I'll be honest, I think it's you know, there's 269 00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:19,280 Speaker 2: more than just an influence. Now. It felt like a 270 00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:23,160 Speaker 2: Northern African city. Mate. It was awesome, the food, the people, 271 00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:26,720 Speaker 2: it was just always a buzz twenty four hours.

We don't really appreciate it 300 00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:44,760 Speaker 2: as much here, but in Europe and the US, like 301 00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:47,000 Speaker 2: swimming is a really really big deal. So you had 302 00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:50,360 Speaker 2: Italians mate, a lot of Americans come up to missile. 303 00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:54,440 Speaker 2: Ryan Lofty, he just said he came up.

And the 311 00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:22,200 Speaker 2: pool itself, it was amazing. The pool sits in or 312 00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,200 Speaker 2: into a rugby stadium.

And 337 00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:46,280 Speaker 2: I said, well, why didn't you If you could do it, 338 00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:49,000 Speaker 2: he said, I'll tell you why. It teaches your bad form. 339 00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:52,160 Speaker 2: He said, because you're trying to conserve conserve energy. And 340 00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:54,480 Speaker 2: he said, if you swim fifteen hundred meters too much, 341 00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:56,800 Speaker 2: it'll fect you. You know, you one hundred and fifty 342 00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:59,520 Speaker 2: to two hundred. He said, for instance, look at Katie Ladecki. 343 00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:03,680 Speaker 2: She's not even kicking, like he said, that's it's bad form. 344 00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:08,160 Speaker 2: It'd be like being a champion Test cricketer and suddenly 345 00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:11,040 Speaker 2: you start playing twenty twenty that creeps into your test match. Well, 346 00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:12,760 Speaker 2: I suppose, like you look at events like the one 347 00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:15,200 Speaker 2: hundred meter fre sole, one hundred meter even the sprint, 348 00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:18,080 Speaker 2: you there's not much margin for era. You need to 349 00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:20,800 Speaker 2: be perfect to win those because there's no room forever. 350 00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:23,600 Speaker 2: There's no room to gain sort of, you know's there's 351 00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:25,679 Speaker 2: no many meters in the race to gain on the 352 00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:27,200 Speaker 2: opponent if they get off to a good start. 353 00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:29,520 Speaker 1: You need to start well. You know, your stride's got 354 00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:30,959 Speaker 1: to be good and all that, like your turn's got 355 00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:31,359 Speaker 1: to be good in. 356 00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:32,520 Speaker 2: Everything to be perfect. 357 00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:35,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, what about the Rugby League journalos because you 358 00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:36,960 Speaker 1: hung out with miss a lot, but you're over there 359 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:38,400 Speaker 1: with Brent Reid and. 360 00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:43,480 Speaker 2: Brent Reid, Peter Burdell, Dave Rickier, Crash Cratick, Andrew Webster. 361 00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:47,000 Speaker 2: Maybe he was over there, but I know whe really 362 00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:48,639 Speaker 2: really well. But the other guys haven't spent a lot 363 00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:50,360 Speaker 2: of time with I've got to say, mate, it was 364 00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:54,359 Speaker 2: it was fantastic. Crash Craatic is probably a fella called 365 00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:57,520 Speaker 2: Will Swanton. The most positive blokes you'd ever meet. Like, 366 00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:00,560 Speaker 2: you see Crash on the back page and talk and 367 00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:03,119 Speaker 2: he'll just go he talks like this. He is, Maddie, 368 00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:06,080 Speaker 2: you would not believe this. What we've got coming up 369 00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:09,560 Speaker 2: is gonna be fantastic. You're gonna be anyway. So one 370 00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,280 Speaker 2: day I walk into the media center. Poor Crash is 371 00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:15,240 Speaker 2: sitting there right with his computer type and away. So 372 00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:19,399 Speaker 2: the only time I've ever seen Crash defeated, and I go, 373 00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,800 Speaker 2: you're a Crash, You're okay? You really look knocked around. 374 00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:27,560 Speaker 2: He goes, oh, yeah, mad I've hit a wall, he said, 375 00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:32,800 Speaker 2: I'm just totally exhausted. At the same time, though exhilarated. 376 00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:35,800 Speaker 1: I did love watching him on the coverage on Fox 377 00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:38,920 Speaker 1: when because there's one thing to hear the podcast when 378 00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:41,640 Speaker 1: you see him. There was one episode You Guys did 379 00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:44,800 Speaker 1: where he basically just took over the whole episode, started 380 00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:47,520 Speaker 1: interviewing you and Missile was sitting there. It's like, what 381 00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:48,320 Speaker 1: the hell is going on? 382 00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:51,600 Speaker 2: I'd be talking to Missile and just behind Missile I 383 00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:53,520 Speaker 2: could see I could see Crash and he's ready to 384 00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:56,760 Speaker 2: say something. And he would just edge closer to missile, 385 00:18:56,840 --> 00:19:00,119 Speaker 2: like he was just trying to take the microphone. 386 00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:02,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, I heard Pete Padell because you and miss I 387 00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:05,800 Speaker 1: was always raving that he was the Jerry, the Jerry crowd. 388 00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:08,439 Speaker 2: First thing when we first arrived, the first couple of 389 00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:11,359 Speaker 2: mornings at the hotel, I'm going, mate, what's going on? 390 00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:15,119 Speaker 2: Or we get here in the mornings was thumb thumb, thump, thump, 391 00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:18,200 Speaker 2: and we're going, mate, what the hell, what's going on here? Anyway, 392 00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:22,040 Speaker 2: it turned out people will make complaints made they found it, 393 00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:24,720 Speaker 2: and that it was Peterdeal doing burpies every morning because 394 00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:28,280 Speaker 2: he runs marathons. Before they pulled it down, he snuck 395 00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:32,399 Speaker 2: into the marathon running area and completed a marathon before 396 00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:35,000 Speaker 2: they pulled pulled all apart and everything. He snuck in 397 00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:37,280 Speaker 2: there and did a marathon. Must have done it overnight. 398 00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:39,960 Speaker 2: I've got the picture here. He texted me through and 399 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,800 Speaker 2: he goes, Maddie, he had three three hours, you know, 400 00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:45,520 Speaker 2: fifty four minutes. But we might be able. We might 401 00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:49,320 Speaker 2: post that up. But the other thing about Baddell. The 402 00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:51,800 Speaker 2: first day, myself ready and he went for a beer 403 00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:56,600 Speaker 2: and I said to Pete, Pete, you've been to Paris before. 404 00:19:56,800 --> 00:20:00,080 Speaker 2: Oh no, Maddie, I haven't. I came here on a 405 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:03,359 Speaker 2: tiki tour. Oh really, how old? Like eighteen nineteen? Now 406 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:07,600 Speaker 2: made els thirty four. He said he beat the cutoff 407 00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:11,360 Speaker 2: time by a month. Oh my god. The biggest story 408 00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:16,119 Speaker 2: of the Olympics, Pete Adell unintentionally became a big part of, 409 00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:20,160 Speaker 2: and it was the gender debate. Is gender the right word? 410 00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:23,239 Speaker 2: You know? The x Y chromosome debate as far as 411 00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:26,560 Speaker 2: the female boxing was concerned. Anyway, Pete was put onto 412 00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:28,439 Speaker 2: the boxing and he does a bit on Fox Sports. 413 00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:30,600 Speaker 2: Does a really good job, now, Pete. But he went 414 00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:33,720 Speaker 2: there and he said that mate, there was about any 415 00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:38,560 Speaker 2: handful of journos there covering the early fights anyway. So 416 00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:40,879 Speaker 2: next tent, the Algerian fighter comes out, which a lot 417 00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:42,920 Speaker 2: of the controversy was about as far as X Y 418 00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:46,560 Speaker 2: chromosomes should be fighting women and whatnot, and Pete is 419 00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:49,439 Speaker 2: one of the only journos left in there. And what happens, 420 00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:51,719 Speaker 2: of course, is going to be which will always remembered 421 00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:55,399 Speaker 2: as this famous protest where the Algerian fighter landed a 422 00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:57,600 Speaker 2: couple of punches on the Italian woman and she just 423 00:20:57,680 --> 00:20:59,760 Speaker 2: threw her gloves off and left the ring. Now this 424 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:05,200 Speaker 2: suddenly immediately becomes the biggest story in sport in the world, 425 00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:07,639 Speaker 2: probably for the next twenty four hours, biggest story in 426 00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:11,040 Speaker 2: the world. And Pete might believe was the only one 427 00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:12,879 Speaker 2: out in the back. Anyway, he took a photo of 428 00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:15,560 Speaker 2: the Italian girl and wrote a little bit about it. 429 00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:20,320 Speaker 2: So what happens is later on that night, we're doing 430 00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:23,600 Speaker 2: the podcast and we're going back to the hotel and 431 00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:28,399 Speaker 2: Pete's going he pulls the tweet out out of nowhere. 432 00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:33,320 Speaker 2: It's got twenty one million views. Oh, and he goes, oh, 433 00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:36,520 Speaker 2: and believe me, he wasn't like bathing in the spotlight 434 00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:39,240 Speaker 2: because it was for him. It's a very tough story 435 00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:42,639 Speaker 2: to cover, and a story that the end had no 436 00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:45,120 Speaker 2: winners in it. It was a really difficult thing, which 437 00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:48,080 Speaker 2: you felt for all parties. But he's going, oh, what 438 00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:51,080 Speaker 2: about that? And he's sit there and five minutes later, 439 00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:55,040 Speaker 2: Maddie twenty five million. By the time we got back 440 00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:59,760 Speaker 2: to the hotel, it was like forty five million nex morning, 441 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:03,159 Speaker 2: xty million by the time we went on air the 442 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:06,600 Speaker 2: next The next night, he was bathing a little bit. 443 00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:11,760 Speaker 2: He's going, Maddie ninety three million. Pete's bigger than Germany. Oh, 444 00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:14,600 Speaker 2: bigger than Germany, Maddie. But what that so end up? 445 00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:18,560 Speaker 2: I think it? I think it ended up doing. I 446 00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:21,640 Speaker 2: think Cooper was something like ninety seven million. Ninety seven 447 00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:24,159 Speaker 2: million views. Shows how big the. 448 00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:26,560 Speaker 1: Olympics because some of the things that come out of 449 00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:29,440 Speaker 1: the Olympics, it was so big news here for a couples. 450 00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:31,480 Speaker 2: I think the things that were trending at the time 451 00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:33,520 Speaker 2: was Peter Bdell and Donald Trump. 452 00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:35,199 Speaker 1: Peter Baddell was trending. 453 00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:37,960 Speaker 2: He was trending because of the pitch we put out. Now, 454 00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:40,440 Speaker 2: I'll tell you, I think he's get a lot of blowback, 455 00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:42,760 Speaker 2: a lot of hate, as you imagine, because you write 456 00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:45,440 Speaker 2: about a really sensitive issue. I said to Pete, doesn't 457 00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:47,800 Speaker 2: really affect you, and he goes, Maddie, not really. Do 458 00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:49,320 Speaker 2: you remember the time that coach come up to me 459 00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:51,400 Speaker 2: at the season launch and was calling me every name 460 00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:53,480 Speaker 2: of the sun. He said, you have seen it. I 461 00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:55,639 Speaker 2: just didn't care, and he didn't. There was another one. 462 00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:59,120 Speaker 2: A coach come down the stands once at Wooden Stadium 463 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,600 Speaker 2: in front of the whole crowd and just starts abusing 464 00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:06,359 Speaker 2: Pete Adell screaming at him, and Pete goes, what I did, Maddie, 465 00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:08,320 Speaker 2: I just reached in the pocket, pulled my mobile phone 466 00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:10,840 Speaker 2: out and just started recording him. Fed him want everything 467 00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:14,679 Speaker 2: brilliant Brett Reid, Yeah, the read man reads fantastic. Never 468 00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:17,640 Speaker 2: met a person more obsessed with food, like they say, 469 00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:21,520 Speaker 2: they say horses are the most mouth obsessed creature in 470 00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:23,600 Speaker 2: the world. Will else counted that and say it is 471 00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:26,879 Speaker 2: Brett Reid? You know he'd have these panic attacks. At 472 00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:29,040 Speaker 2: the end of the night. At twelve thirty we finished 473 00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:31,040 Speaker 2: the recording. Now you've got to get somewhere to eat, 474 00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:33,800 Speaker 2: and we drive plass places against There's a place, There's 475 00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:36,720 Speaker 2: a place.

He had some. He had some. 478 00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:45,639 Speaker 2: It was in on the everywhere he went. Because what 479 00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:48,960 Speaker 2: the journals do. They pride itself. They keep us core 480 00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:53,440 Speaker 2: at how many events they're at live and see it 481 00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:55,879 Speaker 2: knows he win a gold medal. Anyway, Rudy got up 482 00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:57,840 Speaker 2: to one of the last nights of the swimming, had 483 00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:00,600 Speaker 2: never seen did not see one person when gold medal 484 00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:02,960 Speaker 2: whenever they want a gold the girls, he was never there. 485 00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:05,680 Speaker 2: He go to the track, no goals.

He would turn up at an event where 488 00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:13,040 Speaker 2: an Australian was a red hot favorite and they'd get 489 00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:16,240 Speaker 2: beat or get injured. So he became he became the curse. 490 00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:18,680 Speaker 2: But one night the Girls with the four with the 491 00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:21,560 Speaker 2: Medley relay with other red hot favorites, he turned up 492 00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:23,560 Speaker 2: and I've got a picture of him.

So we just left 533 00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:17,480 Speaker 2: them with that. Another day went to the beach volleyball 534 00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:21,320 Speaker 2: and made us about thirty six degrees. So I've got 535 00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:23,960 Speaker 2: the towel, the wet towel, and I've got it over 536 00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:26,560 Speaker 2: my head and I'm walking towards the beach volleyball. These 537 00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:29,400 Speaker 2: three Americans co pass, they recognize missile and they're taught 538 00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:31,720 Speaker 2: the missile again. Anyway, I've got the tower and they go, 539 00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:33,679 Speaker 2: oh yeah, it's a good idea with the towel. Man, 540 00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:35,000 Speaker 2: I got to do it, And I said, no, I've 541 00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:38,480 Speaker 2: just come back from the beach. So Paris is Paris 542 00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:40,320 Speaker 2: is two and a half hours inland, right in the 543 00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:43,720 Speaker 2: middle of France. And they go, oh, the beach. Is 544 00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:45,880 Speaker 2: there a beach around here? I said yeah, yeah, yeah. 545 00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:48,359 Speaker 2: So what you do is just when you go past 546 00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:50,960 Speaker 2: the Eiffel Tower, just do it right there, walk for 547 00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:52,760 Speaker 2: a cane. You'll go to the beach off. 548 00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:56,080 Speaker 1: They went, oh, you're a sad man. Sad that is 549 00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:59,960 Speaker 1: What about what's the is there anything that what's the highlight? 550 00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:02,639 Speaker 1: What's the one thing you'll never forget from Paris, or 551 00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:04,480 Speaker 1: from the Olympics or from your time over there. 552 00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:09,560 Speaker 2: Firstly, the hospitality of the French people. French have the 553 00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:13,440 Speaker 2: French have an unfair reputation have been quite rude, but 554 00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:17,600 Speaker 2: I've never found it and the people over there were fantastic. 555 00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:18,600 Speaker 1: We're trying to speak French. 556 00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:28,119 Speaker 2: Yeah, I've made an effort like bagette gimbon fromage. So 557 00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:30,440 Speaker 2: that was the extent of it. But even just be 558 00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:36,320 Speaker 2: nice and you go up and say oh sorry, oh no, no, no, 559 00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:39,960 Speaker 2: it was really good. The other thing watching our girls 560 00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:44,080 Speaker 2: winning gold after gold in the pool around tipmas Maria 561 00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:51,920 Speaker 2: Callahan and Kaylee McEwan, m McKean, Luney Palaster, it was 562 00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:56,639 Speaker 2: pretty special. And the other thing was Dawn Fraser. That 563 00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:59,959 Speaker 2: was a highlighting interview on the our greatest Olympian Dawn Fraser, 564 00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:06,200 Speaker 2: is that she told us afterwards revealed the revelation that 565 00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:09,160 Speaker 2: they all had COVID. Basically, just about all the girls 566 00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:12,000 Speaker 2: winning gold medals had COVID. Yeah, it must have been. 567 00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:13,760 Speaker 1: COVID must have been pretty rampid there, because I seen 568 00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:16,280 Speaker 1: that Noah Lyles the sprinter, had it as well when 569 00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:18,680 Speaker 1: he lost the two hundred, because he was supposed to 570 00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:19,840 Speaker 1: be a shoe in for the two hundred. 571 00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:23,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah he was. Yes, COVID went through Molliokula and 572 00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:26,959 Speaker 2: she missed her. You imagine this, you prepare for an 573 00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:30,320 Speaker 2: event for four years. Morning of the fifteen hundred meter freestyles, 574 00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:32,840 Speaker 2: she had come down with COVID and couldn't swim it. 575 00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:34,760 Speaker 1: I'll tell you right now, if I'm prepared for four 576 00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:36,680 Speaker 1: years and I get COVID, I wouldn't pull out. 577 00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:39,080 Speaker 2: That's me. I'm very different. Well, I think I think 578 00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:41,440 Speaker 2: it got to the point with all the girls they 579 00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:43,520 Speaker 2: all suspected, they all had it and said, you know what, 580 00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:46,160 Speaker 2: if you don't test, you ain't got Yeah, you'd have to. 581 00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:48,360 Speaker 2: A guy that really caught my There was a feeling 582 00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:52,600 Speaker 2: called Leon marshaw On. Now he's a French swimmer who 583 00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:54,960 Speaker 2: is on the cast. Now I probably already is this 584 00:28:55,120 --> 00:29:00,560 Speaker 2: French twenty two year old guy, French legend all ready? Yeah, 585 00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:03,960 Speaker 2: what he did was incredible, and the girls did this 586 00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:07,400 Speaker 2: as well. But Marshawn went gold gold. I think it 587 00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:11,719 Speaker 2: was he swam. I might get my events wrong here, 588 00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:15,160 Speaker 2: so forgive me. The two hundred meters butterfly, which is 589 00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:19,880 Speaker 2: a tough event. Two hundred butterfly, he wins gold, gets 590 00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:22,400 Speaker 2: up on the dais the whole crowd in the swim 591 00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:25,040 Speaker 2: senta mate. You hear the French singing their national anthem. 592 00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:30,080 Speaker 2: It was insane. Who just stands there quite somber, steps off, 593 00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:33,880 Speaker 2: walks off and I see, jeez, Leon was quite understated 594 00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:36,040 Speaker 2: there he goes. Yeah, Maddie, he's cooping his lids on 595 00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:38,760 Speaker 2: his emotions. He's got to go back in there and 596 00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:41,160 Speaker 2: prepare in an hour's time. He's doing the two hundred 597 00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:45,480 Speaker 2: breast stroke far out, so he out in arms an 598 00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:48,240 Speaker 2: hour later two hundred breath stroke wins gold. Again. 599 00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:52,800 Speaker 1: They're phenomenal athletes a swimmers. Yeah, I will say what 600 00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:58,000 Speaker 1: a successful Olympics for Australia, like particularly even just the 601 00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:01,880 Speaker 1: growth of some of these houses name like I'm not 602 00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:04,480 Speaker 1: into a lot of those sort of sports, but I 603 00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:08,200 Speaker 1: mean names like you know, Jess Fox obviously like these 604 00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:12,400 Speaker 1: it's just absolutely just no ami, Like it's just shot. 605 00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:14,600 Speaker 1: Some of these athletes who have done an amazing job 606 00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:16,200 Speaker 1: for Australia. Their names are going to be up in 607 00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:19,240 Speaker 1: light like they've turned into Australian icons. Well, Japan just 608 00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:21,640 Speaker 1: got us at the end there from we finished fourth 609 00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:23,400 Speaker 1: as we looked like going to finish that, they just 610 00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:25,840 Speaker 1: picked one. But to finish fourth, I mean, look at 611 00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:28,400 Speaker 1: look at some of the countries above us, China one 612 00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:31,640 Speaker 1: point two b in three hundred millions. You know it's 613 00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:34,360 Speaker 1: all around us here, Great Britain and France. 614 00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:36,040 Speaker 2: The home nation. You beat the home nation. 615 00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:36,480 Speaker 1: Yeah. 616 00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:40,400 Speaker 2: The other thing which was a really controversial moment was 617 00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:44,959 Speaker 2: the men's one hundred meter freestyle, which the Chinese swimmer 618 00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:47,760 Speaker 2: he broke the world record, right, he broke it by 619 00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:51,800 Speaker 2: half a second in a pool that before After the 620 00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:55,120 Speaker 2: first day, Missile said, we're going to see very few 621 00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:58,760 Speaker 2: world records. He there's two reasons, the village, but also 622 00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:02,280 Speaker 2: it looks like slow pool. In that slow pool, the 623 00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:05,280 Speaker 2: Chinese man in one hundred freestyle, he broke the world 624 00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:09,920 Speaker 2: record by half a second, a world record, Missile said, 625 00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:12,560 Speaker 2: in that event hasn't been broken by that much since 626 00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:13,640 Speaker 2: the nineteen twenties. 627 00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:17,520 Speaker 1: Well, wasn't that broken when they use those performance enhancing 628 00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:19,959 Speaker 1: suits as well. Wasn't that what held the record when 629 00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:22,320 Speaker 1: they were in those full body suits which is now banned, 630 00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:25,320 Speaker 1: which made it I'm not sure, Coops, I'm pretty sure. 631 00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:27,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, Brett after it, And You've got to be really 632 00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:30,120 Speaker 2: careful here. It's really tricky because it's like you go 633 00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:33,880 Speaker 2: to events to see something remarkable happen, and sometimes with 634 00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:37,560 Speaker 2: the Olympian with the Olympics, you go, yeah, be remarkable, 635 00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:40,120 Speaker 2: but not too remarkable. So I don't want to stand 636 00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:42,680 Speaker 2: here as an Australian and just point the finger at 637 00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:44,880 Speaker 2: China and saying, oh, make they're taking serious because they 638 00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:48,440 Speaker 2: beat it. But Brett Hawk, who's one of Australia's greatest 639 00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:51,120 Speaker 2: swim coaches, the next day came out and said what 640 00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:56,680 Speaker 2: he did is not humanly possible. Now, a few days later, 641 00:31:57,160 --> 00:32:00,880 Speaker 2: he was in the it was one hundred meter freestyle relay. 642 00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:04,960 Speaker 2: He jumps in, he jumps in third, he's behind the 643 00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:09,280 Speaker 2: Americans and he's behind the French who called Florent someone 644 00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:13,760 Speaker 2: miss I knew him, who is a French legend in 645 00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:16,360 Speaker 2: swimming as well, right at the back end of his career. 646 00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:19,760 Speaker 2: When he jumped in, he was a length behind the Frenchman. 647 00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:23,360 Speaker 2: And Missile goes, he won't make that up. He beat 648 00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:28,120 Speaker 2: him by length, they said. After it, they said, experts 649 00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:33,880 Speaker 2: said his time in that relay was mind boggling. Now, 650 00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:37,000 Speaker 2: when he won the hundred meters freestyle, I Kyle Charmers 651 00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:40,960 Speaker 2: come second, and after that freestyle, Missile goes, I'm just 652 00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:43,280 Speaker 2: going to go down because you could go a couple 653 00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:47,320 Speaker 2: of meters away from the swimmers and they're walking across 654 00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:50,280 Speaker 2: to talk to press, and Missile yelled out, Kyle, good 655 00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:53,640 Speaker 2: on your mate, silver medalie. Yeah. Then the Chinese swimmer 656 00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:56,760 Speaker 2: come past and had a bit of spunken spark, which 657 00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:59,240 Speaker 2: I liked about him. It was pete cocking and strating, 658 00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:04,000 Speaker 2: but made his physick was unbelievable. It would have been 659 00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:07,480 Speaker 2: like a twenty eight inch waist if that like ripped 660 00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:11,280 Speaker 2: so much through the stomach and then had this massive, 661 00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:13,440 Speaker 2: massive back. It was almost in a lot of ways 662 00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:16,000 Speaker 2: looked a little hunched over because his back was so big. 663 00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:18,360 Speaker 1: They got those broad shoulders, don't they. 664 00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:21,040 Speaker 2: But it's tricky again. You don't want to get there 665 00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:23,440 Speaker 2: and just go, oh, may he's taken steoid just but. 666 00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:27,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, But if the experts are saying it, the other 667 00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:28,840 Speaker 1: one a. 668 00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:31,080 Speaker 2: Couple of things, one hundred made of sprint with Noel Lyles, 669 00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:34,360 Speaker 2: who became a superstar Free When overcause of that series 670 00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:37,360 Speaker 2: and Netflix Sprint. When he arrived there, he walked into 671 00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:41,000 Speaker 2: the village and went, mate, the champ has arrived to 672 00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:44,160 Speaker 2: words that did. But then a few days later Radus 673 00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:47,040 Speaker 2: came out and had an interview where he said, it's 674 00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:50,520 Speaker 2: a nightmare. He said, I've got to wear disguise. In 675 00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:53,640 Speaker 2: the course of sprint, all the other athletes just knew 676 00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:56,840 Speaker 2: him and wanted photos and selfies and everything was going on. 677 00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:59,960 Speaker 2: So he turned up as this credible extrovert. But towards 678 00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:01,640 Speaker 2: the end it was too much. At the one hundred 679 00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:04,680 Speaker 2: meters sprint, we washed it. We said, mate, he's got beaten. 680 00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:08,120 Speaker 2: Everyone thought that Jamaican had one. I think Noah Lyles 681 00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:10,680 Speaker 2: actually thought that Jamaican had one because he went behind 682 00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:13,680 Speaker 2: him and patted his back. Then it came up and 683 00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:16,400 Speaker 2: he beat him by something like one. One came up 684 00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:18,399 Speaker 2: registered nine to seventy eight for both of them. 685 00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:20,960 Speaker 1: I didn't realize that they take the head and like 686 00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:23,160 Speaker 1: upper torso before the feet, because the Blake's foot was 687 00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:23,719 Speaker 1: over the line. 688 00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:27,160 Speaker 2: Hard did to live with the Jamaican to go rest 689 00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:28,960 Speaker 2: of the life. You I just put my head if 690 00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:31,160 Speaker 2: I didn't put my foot forward. The other one was 691 00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:35,920 Speaker 2: cooped with the Jamaican female team, where the favorite in 692 00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:38,800 Speaker 2: the hundred I think it was, she turned up and 693 00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:41,560 Speaker 2: says that she was denied access because she didn't have 694 00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:46,239 Speaker 2: the right accreditation. You'd think you'd think you'd be able 695 00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:47,759 Speaker 2: to hold up the event a little bit because the 696 00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:50,440 Speaker 2: favorites having a bit of trouble. She turned and just walked. 697 00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:52,759 Speaker 2: The other one might have been the favorite, and the 698 00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:56,759 Speaker 2: two hundred said she injured herself in the warm up. Again, 699 00:34:57,480 --> 00:34:59,920 Speaker 2: well you don't know, but dogie, hey, we don't know, 700 00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:01,080 Speaker 2: but you know what we can do. 701 00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:02,200 Speaker 1: We can speculate. 702 00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:04,600 Speaker 2: Well. To finish with, I'll just say this, I'll tell 703 00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:09,000 Speaker 2: you one reason why the athletes deserve even more respect 704 00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:14,320 Speaker 2: than they've already got is that the village, the athletes village, 705 00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:18,120 Speaker 2: they all stay in. Every person to a man to 706 00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:22,239 Speaker 2: a woman said, if the conditions were terrible, Number one, 707 00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:25,359 Speaker 2: the well documented the cardboard beds they meant to sleep 708 00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:29,200 Speaker 2: on incredibly uncomfortable that they reckon. The food was horrendous. 709 00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:33,640 Speaker 2: I was strolling around Paris, and a young Kiwi blake 710 00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:35,920 Speaker 2: come up said, oh, here you go. Man In said good. 711 00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:40,000 Speaker 2: He said, I'm in the New Zealand swim team. Oh yeah, 712 00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:43,839 Speaker 2: and I said, listen, tell me about the village. He goes, oh, 713 00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:46,959 Speaker 2: he said, the cardboard beds are bad. But he said 714 00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:48,760 Speaker 2: the food is shocking. 715 00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:50,640 Speaker 1: So they don't let him out at all, like if 716 00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:52,160 Speaker 1: they want to go get food somewhere else, like they're 717 00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:53,080 Speaker 1: just not allowed to leave it. 718 00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:56,719 Speaker 2: Coops, I'm not easily sure the rules. Just go back. 719 00:35:57,080 --> 00:36:00,920 Speaker 2: The food was shocking. The portions was almost like the 720 00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:04,960 Speaker 2: portions were so small like the of the Australian heavyweight fighter. 721 00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:08,600 Speaker 2: He came out before it and said, mate, I usually 722 00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:11,000 Speaker 2: at six or seven lamp Chotsford dinner. They gave me 723 00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:13,680 Speaker 2: two and a little bit of salad. Wow. But the 724 00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:16,000 Speaker 2: quality of the food, they said, was horrendous. Whatever happened 725 00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:17,280 Speaker 2: to French cuisine. 726 00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:18,120 Speaker 1: Man, whatever happened to it? 727 00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:18,719 Speaker 2: You know what I mean. 728 00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:20,480 Speaker 1: That's where all the best restaurants in the world, they 729 00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:23,440 Speaker 1: say are bloody hell used to be that dam Olympics. 730 00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:24,640 Speaker 2: They've really let themselves down. 731 00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:25,719 Speaker 1: Well, Matthew, thanks you all. 732 00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:28,760 Speaker 2: I say this finished with missile was made all vegan. 733 00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:33,759 Speaker 2: Too many vegangsan vegan anyway, all the vegans just went missile.
