Actually, I 18 00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:04,240 Speaker 1: watched some cars with my son. Just ad a shower 19 00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:07,479 Speaker 1: before I've caught up with you guys, and yeah, comb 20 00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:09,280 Speaker 1: the hair because I knew I was seeing you guys. 21 00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:10,880 Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, all's good here. 22 00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:15,399 Speaker 5: Hey, Scotty, do you feel like the following? When it 23 00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:18,080 Speaker 5: comes to Aussie supporting the Winter Games? Has changed over 24 00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:20,200 Speaker 5: the years, Like, do you feel like the following is 25 00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:21,600 Speaker 5: getting a lot stronger and bigger? 26 00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think Yeah, To be honest, I think it's 27 00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:28,840 Speaker 1: been pretty positive. Yeah, I think generally. I think this 28 00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:30,920 Speaker 1: time round as well, there's been so many I mean, 29 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:33,560 Speaker 1: there's so many good athletes going this time. I think 30 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,280 Speaker 1: it could be one of our best outings at a 31 00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:38,880 Speaker 1: Winter game. So I think that helps try and get 32 00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:42,559 Speaker 1: some ausies involved and interested in what's happening as well. 33 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,840 Speaker 1: But yeah, I think, I mean, hopefully there's been a 34 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:50,480 Speaker 1: bit more interest and it's been hopefully in a positive trend. 35 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 5: This might be a silly question, so don't judge me, 36 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,240 Speaker 5: but we spoke to not taking up snowball. 37 00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:57,640 Speaker 3: No no, no, God, no, no, no, no no. 38 00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,320 Speaker 2: He doesn't like the cold. It's got to be room 39 00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,080 Speaker 2: temperature at all times. 40 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,880 Speaker 5: I love it. We spoke to Bob Slip Bree the 41 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,280 Speaker 5: other day. When you guys are over there and you 42 00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:09,200 Speaker 5: know you've competed and you've got a bit of time off, 43 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:12,519 Speaker 5: does anyone ever take the other person's sport for Ahon? 44 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:17,160 Speaker 5: Scotty got to go down to Bob, Yeah, Chuck Chuck 45 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:19,000 Speaker 5: Bree snowboard Ahon. 46 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:22,800 Speaker 1: To be honest, No, but it's not a bad idea. 47 00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:26,640 Speaker 1: Maybe it's like maybe it's like a post closing ceremony, 48 00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:30,240 Speaker 1: bit of a chaotic. Everyone try over that. I think 49 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:33,240 Speaker 1: that's that's the scariest thing about the Games is you 50 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:35,600 Speaker 1: wouldn't really want to do most of the sports, to 51 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 1: be honest myself. 52 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,679 Speaker 2: Well, yeah, they're all quite dangerous. I'm not really sure 53 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 2: your coaches would be thrilled with that concept. 54 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 3: After they compete, After they compete. 55 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,560 Speaker 4: Why is it, Scotty that the Olympics just hit that 56 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,120 Speaker 4: little bit differently because you've won World Cup gold, you've 57 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:54,960 Speaker 4: won X Games gold, but Olympic gold is elusive to 58 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,120 Speaker 4: this point anyway, What is it about a Games that 59 00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 4: hits differently? Ah, thanks, Clint, I'm trying to be encouraging, Scottie. 60 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 3: You know you're doing a great job. 61 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:11,600 Speaker 1: It was it was Nah, No, I think it's just 62 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,400 Speaker 1: been To be honest, I think that's what makes it 63 00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 1: so special when you do win one, because there's just 64 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 1: so much more. There's a lot of planning that goes 65 00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:22,120 Speaker 1: into it. And in my sport particularly, you know, the 66 00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 1: guys that I've come up against, in my opinion, they've 67 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,120 Speaker 1: just been amazing planners. They've been able to execute a 68 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,320 Speaker 1: plan really well. And you know, you've got to be 69 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 1: able to keep tricks away from athletes so they don't 70 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 1: learn them, and you've got to have timing and so yes, 71 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 1: there's a lot of things that you kind of have 72 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 1: to strategize to be honest coming into it. And I 73 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 1: think that for me personally, I probably haven't been as 74 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 1: fine tuned in that department until now. So this year 75 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,560 Speaker 1: I've been a little bit more strategic and trying to 76 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 1: play a game of chess rather than just go out 77 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 1: of the snowboarders mentality. 78 00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,360 Speaker 2: So does that mean that you're going to pull out 79 00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 2: something we've never seen before? Even though it's a secret 80 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 2: you're hiding it from other athletes. I'm sure no one's 81 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 2: listening to this usually and be it's probably too late 82 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 2: for them to learn your tricks anyway. But are we 83 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:09,800 Speaker 2: going to see something from you that we've never seen before? 84 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 1: Well, most people and I was probably think I'm a 85 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:17,000 Speaker 1: ski jumper. So if I tell you, I tell you 86 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 1: the tricks I'm going to do, it's fine. No, But yeah, 87 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 1: I mean there could be something, could be something we'll see. Yeah, 88 00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:25,760 Speaker 1: we'll see. 89 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:29,719 Speaker 5: Jokes aside, will different countries try and infiltrate the other one, 90 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 5: like would you send spis to someone's training and things 91 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 5: like that. 92 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:39,240 Speaker 1: So I have which is it's a fair question. So 93 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:42,360 Speaker 1: that the Japanese team and my main rivals, there's you know, 94 00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 1: there's probably five or six guys that are incredibly talented. 95 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:47,920 Speaker 1: Same on the women's side. They're just a bit of 96 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 1: a force in our world. But we have you know, 97 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,400 Speaker 1: they have a camera on me pretty well every day 98 00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:57,000 Speaker 1: when I my lunch, talk to my coaches, film all 99 00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,599 Speaker 1: my tricks every run, even if I'm warming up. So 100 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:04,040 Speaker 1: they're on another level. They have two staff to every rider. 101 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 1: It's it's yeah, it's intense, but you know, they do 102 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:11,719 Speaker 1: have a strong team. And yeah, they're definitely black eyes 103 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:13,920 Speaker 1: in the sense of watching what's happening up there. 104 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:16,760 Speaker 5: We sometimes sit outside the other radio stations and just 105 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:17,800 Speaker 5: see what time they're getting in. 106 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:21,479 Speaker 3: Guess they've gone on that sort of thing. I relate what. 107 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:30,359 Speaker 5: Jokes are they like, we're a show it loves merch 108 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,479 Speaker 5: and I just whenever I think about the athletes getting 109 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,120 Speaker 5: into the village, you see the footage on the TV 110 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,839 Speaker 5: and then getting measured for their uniforms and stuff the America. 111 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:43,159 Speaker 2: Look, the American uniforms are so pretty nice. Oh, have 112 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:44,560 Speaker 2: done the American uniforms and. 113 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:46,640 Speaker 3: I want all of it? 114 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:51,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, who's done the the uniforms? Are we happy with them? 115 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 1: Oh? 116 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 2: No, don't answer that. 117 00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:57,919 Speaker 3: Do you want us to send you over age? You 118 00:05:57,920 --> 00:05:59,719 Speaker 3: know MEI works up yourself. 119 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,440 Speaker 1: Think they're not they're not. They're not bad. We just 120 00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:05,120 Speaker 1: could lean into it a bit more, you know, you 121 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 1: could get in get into the owl. We could just 122 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,720 Speaker 1: lean into it gold the US. 123 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 3: No, they're really not. Yea. 124 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,960 Speaker 5: Anyway, I could just imagine how many Aussie track suits 125 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 5: and stuff you've got at home. What do you do 126 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:20,760 Speaker 5: with all that stuff? Are you palming this off to 127 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:22,720 Speaker 5: the family. You know, we're going to see down at 128 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 5: Vinnie's with just bags of Aussie track suits? 129 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,720 Speaker 1: Yeah? I mean typically I'll show up to a random 130 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,479 Speaker 1: family breakfast or something at home and someone will have 131 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,039 Speaker 1: the track suit on or someone has a T shirt on, 132 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:37,640 Speaker 1: and so it makes its rounds around the family, which 133 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:38,359 Speaker 1: is fair enough. 134 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 2: That's my dad in my family. Oh my god, he 135 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:44,880 Speaker 2: walks around in Jason Lauren Merch like here's a walking billboard.
