1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:03,160
Speaker 1: You're listening to the Fitzi and whipp A podcast.

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:06,440
Speaker 2: I love watching the Olympics, and I love watching the

3
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:09,119
Speaker 2: athletics more than anything else in the world. Now at

4
00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:11,440
Speaker 2: the moment is the World Athletics Championships over in the

5
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:15,040
Speaker 2: United States of America, and it's just I mean, some

6
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:18,040
Speaker 2: of these athletes are just unbelievable.

7
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:17,760
Speaker 3: Are you right?

8
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:20,280
Speaker 4: When you watch the track and field and you might

9
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:24,280
Speaker 4: watch a fifteen hundred meter run, it's extraordinary the pace

10
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:27,280
Speaker 4: and to see them continue to pick up as the

11
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 4: race goes on.

12
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:31,480
Speaker 2: Don't slow down, just quickly before I get into this story.

13
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:34,600
Speaker 2: How about this poor guy American star over there, and

14
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:36,400
Speaker 2: he's so good that they think he's going to be

15
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:37,479
Speaker 2: picked up in the NFL.

16
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:40,640
Speaker 3: His name is Devon Allen. It's one hundred and ten

17
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 3: meter hurdles. Now, this is a.

18
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:45,560
Speaker 2: Pretty full on race because if you clip one of

19
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 2: those hurdles, that stuffs up your routine, so you've got

20
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 2: to run that race perfectly. He got disqualified because they

21
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 2: said that he broke at the start by one thousandth

22
00:00:58,960 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 2: of a second.

23
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 4: I saw this point zero one point zero zero one. God,

24
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:10,959
Speaker 4: it's like sneezing, isn't it same call that you can't

25
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 4: have that. It needs to have some variant either side

26
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 4: to allow for people to actually be human.

27
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:18,679
Speaker 3: Yeah.

28
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 2: Well, one event the Aussies did well in I can't

29
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:23,840

30
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 2: pole vault at the World Athletics Championships and there was

31
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:30,520

Speaker 2: So he's getting different angles and I mean the pole

36
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 2: volt would be great to film. And do you go

37
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 2: down low as they're going up high? I'm getting different angles.

38
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 2: This guy goes, you know what.

39
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:52,000

00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 2: know that the three thousand meters was going on at

44
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 2: the time. The runners had to run around the cameraman.

45

Speaker 2: Oh my god, have a listen to this. Have we

46
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 2: got some audio of the man commentating.

47
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 4: Has a look at him standing in the middle of

48
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 4: the track holding a camera.

49
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 3: He would have felt so bad caravan stuck up on

50
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:18,399
Speaker 3: the extract.

51
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 2: There now just getting out of the way skip. But

52
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 2: he now moves back on the inside and he won't

53
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 2: be making that mistake.

54
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:26,079
Speaker 3: When they cut rounds.

55
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,399
Speaker 2: Are the next time of asking you only had one job,

56
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 2: And that's what we're asking you this morning. You only

57
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:33,919
Speaker 2: had one job and it ended in disaster. If you've

58
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 2: got a story. Thirteen twenty fourteen.

59
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 4: Well on athletics, you remember the guy who was judging

60
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 4: the what is it not the pole vault, the the

61
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 4: javelin and his job was his one job was to

62
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 4: mark where the javelin landed. He was watching the track

63
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 4: and field and it hit him in the shoulder.

64
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 3: But what I love.

65
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,360
Speaker 4: About it is he then like he goes down, he

66
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 4: realizes that the javelin's kind of half hanging out of him.

67
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 4: He pulls the javelin out and shows where would have

68
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 4: landed if it hadn't hit him. It's a commitment. I

69
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 4: just focus on that one job at this time.

70
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:09,080
Speaker 2: Do you know what I got at Mitsubishi There was

71
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 2: you could get extra overtime, Sarah, and you get extra money,

72
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 2: a bonus in your pay if you could stick around

73
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:17,239
Speaker 2: and all you had to do was move a car

74
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:20,119
Speaker 2: from one area to another area, and you do car

75
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 2: after car after car, and it was money. It was

76
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 2: easy money, and it was a lot of money. And

77
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 2: there was a waiting list to get this overtime. And

78
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 2: I finally got on and said, FITZI, do you want

79
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:30,720
