Speaker 1: Life in the Export Beer Guns Studio and brought to you,
Speaker 1: as always by Export Ultra the bar for here. This
Speaker 1: is the Agenda Podcast for Angel Numbers, the eighth of
Speaker 1: the Eighth.
Speaker 2: The Agenda Podcast, the home of Sporting Nonsense and clap Trap,
Speaker 2: brought to you by Export Vulture.
Speaker 3: Men. Are we ruffling feathers with this greatest New Zealander thing?
Speaker 4: Wow?
Speaker 1: Yeah, stop saying you It's not me, it's us, it's we.
Speaker 3: No, I'm just gonna You're gonna paint it on you.
Speaker 3: It's like when you tried to pin the Edin Vanua
Speaker 3: Blake thing on me, and it was you.
Speaker 5: I said it was cowardly that they're leaving the dog behind.
Speaker 5: I didn't call him a coward.
Speaker 3: I said it was said that the act was cowardly. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and then you immediately pivoted to I said it wow, yeah,
Speaker 3: yeah yeah, and you know it. And again but this
Speaker 3: is again, this is the people. This is what the
Speaker 3: people are saying.
Speaker 1: And every single matchup that we put up so far
Speaker 1: has been met with so many comments of this should
Speaker 1: be the final.
Speaker 5: They can only be one final. This is that's definitely
Speaker 5: on a final. Susi Cato Jason gunners not a final.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so if you've just caught up, If you're just
Speaker 1: catching up, Sir Ed took out the first round against
Speaker 1: Sir Ernest Rutherford. The second round is now Susie Cato
Speaker 1: versus Jason Gunn.
Speaker 3: Yes, who have been voting on this overnight? Who's taken
Speaker 3: it out? Wow?
Speaker 1: This is this is the tough part. So here's a
Speaker 1: couple of messages from Facebook. Susie Cato for sure can't
Speaker 1: be the goat if you play second fiddle to Thingy
Speaker 1: on your own show.
Speaker 3: That's that's okay, pretty vicious.
Speaker 1: Another one here from Tony He's written when Thingy was
Speaker 1: interviewed a few years ago, he said he'd rather work
Speaker 1: with Susie Cato purely because she has smaller hands than
Speaker 1: Jason Gunn.
Speaker 5: Well, Jason Gunn came on, he piled in and said,
Speaker 5: a vote for me as a vote for Thingy. Yeah,
Speaker 5: he tried to sway it, that's right, and did it work. Well.
Speaker 1: Apparently Thinging himself is saying no. So we've had to
Speaker 1: collect the votes and we're voting across various different media, Facebook,
Speaker 1: Instagram posts, polls, all sorts on Instagram. Six hundred and
Speaker 1: sixty six votes cast, which is very very ominous. Fifty
Speaker 1: eight percent of those were in favor of Susie Cat okay. Similarly,
Speaker 1: on the Instagram story, this came down to the wire
Speaker 1: fifty one percent of the votes on that with for
Speaker 1: Susie Susie, but eighty two percent of the votes on
Speaker 1: Facebook overwhelmingly in favor of Jason Gunn, declaring your winner
Speaker 1: by split decision. Jason Gunn goes through to the second round.
Speaker 3: Wow, is it a platform issue here? Yeah, it could
Speaker 3: well be, like but they would be the same era,
Speaker 3: would they not? Yeah? They are pretty much.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, but for some reason Jason might be a
Speaker 5: bit earlier than Susie.
Speaker 1: Maybe yeah, and and also have had a wider ranging career.
Speaker 5: Well, this is another element to add to the Great
Speaker 5: New Zealanders in terms of people are going to get
Speaker 5: upset because of the different platforms, a different demographics on
Speaker 5: each platform.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that is that is a big thing.
Speaker 5: Yeah, So there you guys said. Jason makes it through.
Speaker 5: Goodbye Susie.
Speaker 1: Goodbye Susie. So you see you later. It's time to
Speaker 1: say goodbye.
Speaker 3: I'm like we did. She's out of here.
Speaker 1: Jason Gunn goes through doing a bit of research yesterday
Speaker 1: came across a Havocan Newsboy story Jason's Tennyhouse.
Speaker 3: Jason's Tenney House.
Speaker 1: Yeah, bit of footage out of context, but yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't remember Susie Catto ever having a Tenny house, so
Speaker 1: I think that could have it could have played into it,
Speaker 1: but yeah, it was. It was Nick and Nick on Instagram,
Speaker 1: but just overwhelmingly in supportive Jason Gunn. And I think
Speaker 1: that a large part of that on Facebook is that
Speaker 1: he's the ringleader of his own of his own votes.
Speaker 1: He's been getting busy in the comments.
Speaker 5: Right, Susie Catto, I think just and nothing. We can't.
Speaker 5: We can't prevent that, can we. We're encouraging that. If
Speaker 5: you want to lobby for your own I think that's
Speaker 5: up to you.
Speaker 1: I'd like to encourage it, yeah, because you know, I'd
Speaker 1: love for I don't know, I was gonna say, John A.
Speaker 1: Lomho's dead, isn't he?
Speaker 4: You know?
Speaker 3: But I'd love for some of these guys to get involved.
Speaker 3: And the we we couldn't.
Speaker 5: The first round was a bit hard me, you know,
Speaker 5: well Ernston and Edward, Yeah, yeah, that would have been
Speaker 5: about half theen them to weigh in, but their family
Speaker 5: could have come and waited in.
Speaker 3: That's what I say. We have another battle live now.
Speaker 1: It was still just churning through the first round and
Speaker 1: every single time we've put these up they said the
Speaker 1: same thing. This should be the final. This one is
Speaker 1: tough and it is Richie McCaw versus Dan Carter.
Speaker 5: There's going to be Have you seen the writing that's
Speaker 5: been going on in the UK? This is that's what's
Speaker 5: going to happen in christ Church. Yeah, it's going to
Speaker 5: tear the city. It's going to tear the city apart.
Speaker 5: They're two greatest sons. Yeah, have been pitted together in
Speaker 5: the first round. You were going to get a lot
Speaker 5: of heat for the seedings.
Speaker 3: Why me, because because you put the pictures on because
Speaker 3: you can't work photoshop. That's all that's happened to. Distance said,
Speaker 3: we voted this. How many times I have to say
Speaker 3: that it was a vote? Otherwise it would have just
Speaker 3: been you know what, I'm not gonna say, so we
Speaker 3: taking your votes on Richie vers Dan.
Speaker 1: I asked my missus about this. She said, that's a
Speaker 1: tough one. It's divided her. She's a Crusaders fan at heart.
Speaker 3: It's Richie. She said she's going with Richie and I
Speaker 3: was like, I agree. You didn't have a Richie mccaus
Speaker 3: scrapbook when you were a kid, made from photos that
Speaker 3: you found in the newspaper, but you did have one
Speaker 3: for Dan Carter, and so how can you She's like, yeah, sure,
Speaker 3: Dan's hotter than Richie, but who means more?
Speaker 1: Was the last time Dan Carter put a fire out
Speaker 1: in the porthills and a helicopter?
Speaker 3: So I think for me.
Speaker 1: Also, every World Cup that DC won, Ritchie was there
Speaker 1: for and captain.
Speaker 3: So I think it's going to be Richie. I think so.
Speaker 5: And I think it's unfair saying that rich that Dan's
Speaker 5: been looking than Richie. I mean different strokes, different folks.
Speaker 5: I think most strokes are going the same way you reckon. Yeah,
Speaker 5: I know, I don't know. He's a bit too pretty
Speaker 5: for me, Ella, Adam Dan or Richie? Who's hotter.
Speaker 3: Dan? Dan? Dan? I'm a Richie man. Yeah, okay, it's
Speaker 3: a bit more rugged.
Speaker 5: It's been more meat on the bone. Yeah, bones.
Speaker 3: Bones. I think the undimodeling career is probably you know.
Speaker 5: They put me off a clue, Yeah, they put me off. No,
Speaker 5: you see I like I like a humble man, right,
Speaker 5: humble man.
Speaker 3: We're not talking about humility, We're talking about who's more attractive.
Speaker 5: But I think humility is as an attractive.
Speaker 3: For me. I'm trying to sway with votes in the
Speaker 3: way of Dan Carter.
Speaker 1: I don't think it's going to happen, but yeah, you
Speaker 1: can have your say on various ways Instagram, Facebook, I today,
Speaker 1: would it change if we put it on TikTok. I
Speaker 1: don't think anyone on TikTok would have even known who
Speaker 1: Susi Cato or Jason Gunn were with there.
Speaker 5: No, I don't know they weren't, not unless they popped
Speaker 5: off on TikTok recently, because you even you know, so.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's absolute mayhem.
Speaker 1: And these in these brackets the full ones up on
Speaker 1: the what's on Instagram, but it's also on the website
Speaker 1: if you want again have a look at the upcoming
Speaker 1: ones if you're going to start crafting a case ahead
Speaker 1: of time. I agree that there have been a lot
Speaker 1: of people that have been left out of this, and
Speaker 1: again I think it's just through voter apathy. For me,
Speaker 1: Richard Pierce was really hard done by not to make this. Yeah,
Speaker 1: if you don't know who Richard Pierce is, first off,
Speaker 1: fuck you. Second of all, he is the He is
Speaker 1: the first man ever to invent powered flight. And when
Speaker 1: I was explaining this again to my long suffering partners,
Speaker 1: she said, weren't there two of them?
Speaker 3: Then his brother did it as well. I was like,
Speaker 3: you're thinking of the right brothers.
Speaker 1: Now they did it over in the States, and they
Speaker 1: did it two weeks after Richard Pierce did it. But
Speaker 1: because news takes two weeks back in the day to
Speaker 1: get anywhere.
Speaker 3: They thought they did it first. Plus is the better
Speaker 3: story if they did it?
Speaker 5: Yeah, wow, it's a weird story. Now it's a weird,
Speaker 5: bitter story now for people down south.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well Richard Pierce from tomorrow, I think Jerordine. But yeah,
Speaker 1: the Richard Pierce taven still gone down there. He's in
Speaker 1: the South Canibury Museum, the South Canbery Hall of Fame,
Speaker 1: Richard Piers. So yeah, hard done by, you know, because
Speaker 1: every day we benefit from powered flight. But yeah, not
Speaker 1: to be so at rages on the Greatest New Zealander Debate.
Speaker 1: You can go on there and have your say right now,
Speaker 1: start a heated conflict in the comments.
Speaker 3: Go go at someone.
Speaker 1: Yeah, if you see a comment that you disagree with,
Speaker 1: click on that person's profile, find out something quite personal
Speaker 1: about them, and then tear them to shreds in the comments.
Speaker 3: I think that's the only way we're going to settle
Speaker 3: this debate. Yeah.
Speaker 5: Absolutely, I mean, and remain anonymous as well. That's the
Speaker 5: that's what you do online. You know, no one's going
Speaker 5: to come after you.
Speaker 3: No, I'm saying come after them. For no one's going
Speaker 3: to come after you.
Speaker 5: If I go on there and come after then cart No,
Speaker 5: it's really going to come after me out there.
Speaker 3: Yes, that's what I'm saying. Yeah, let me explain this again.
Speaker 1: If you see a comment from at Mike Lane, click
Speaker 1: on his profile, find something deeply personal about him, go
Speaker 1: back to the comment, and write that underneath the thing. Correct, anonymous,
Speaker 1: start wars in the it's not anonymous.
Speaker 5: Your name is on the thing. Now, that's not really
Speaker 5: I find anything that's written online anonymous unless you say
Speaker 5: it to my face, it's anonymous.
Speaker 3: I don't care. Oh right, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: Like it's say just Keebod Warringah Okay, Well I'm saying.
Speaker 5: If you watch read any of the comments post hand
Speaker 5: job gate. You know, if I took that to heart,
Speaker 5: I wouldn't be here.
Speaker 1: But yeah, so just go at each other, go for
Speaker 1: each other's throats in the comments. I'd love to see it.
Speaker 1: Ritchie first, dands up right now, We're going to take
Speaker 1: a quick break. There is plenty of Olympics action to
Speaker 1: go through right after this break.
Speaker 3: Overnight.
Speaker 1: Charlie's Angel's reaction at the pole vault. Eliza McCartney, Olivia McTaggart,
Speaker 1: Imagen Eiras all in action.
Speaker 3: Best of them.
Speaker 1: Eliza McCartney she finished sixth. She failed at four point
Speaker 1: eight meters. Olivia McTaggart finished thirteenth. She failed at four
Speaker 1: point seven, as did Imagen Eiras, who finished twelfth. Imagen
Speaker 1: came in ranked thirty second in the world, so she
Speaker 1: was the lowest ranked competitor in that thing.
Speaker 3: It was.
Speaker 5: Did you see the qualifying though, they it was a
Speaker 5: bit of a shambles because they were supposed to get
Speaker 5: down to twelve yet there was a bunch of people
Speaker 5: who had jumped the same height, yes, and then they
Speaker 5: basically it came down to whoever had the least amount
Speaker 5: of fails, which ended up being nineteen people. So instead
Speaker 5: of the standard twelve going through the final. Nineteen people
Speaker 5: made the final, including the two kiwis who thought they'd
Speaker 5: been knocked out. They were like, oh, we're gone. When
Speaker 5: I did the count back and they're.
Speaker 3: Like, everybody's in.
Speaker 5: Everybody's in the final, Come on, everybody.
Speaker 3: There's so many of those little weird quirks. Yeah, and so.
Speaker 5: That's why in the final took like two and a
Speaker 5: half three hours, which normally doesn't take that Obviously that long, yeah,
Speaker 5: and so and then they got to compete in their final.
Speaker 3: But that was a bit.
Speaker 5: It was a bit strange when there was nineteen finalists.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was full on.
Speaker 1: I have some questions about the pole vault. The first
Speaker 1: is how do you figure out that you're any good
Speaker 1: at it? Like what do you start with? Did you
Speaker 1: start with a broomstick and you're just jumping around the lounge.
Speaker 5: I saw I read something around the fact that you've
Speaker 5: got to have the speed and strength of a sprinter,
Speaker 5: the flexibility of a gymnast.
Speaker 3: But no one has all that when they start, and
Speaker 3: the strength is something else.
Speaker 5: But I suppose you're looking for an all around athlete,
Speaker 5: if you're if you're an athletics club, which probably.
Speaker 3: These these young women were.
Speaker 5: They were like they're powerful and fast and quite kind
Speaker 5: of athletic and gymnastic. Like, have you thought about giving
Speaker 5: a polevoar to go? That's as far as it goes.
Speaker 5: I reckon no, But what does the first attempt look like?
Speaker 3: Because you don't go from not being able to do
Speaker 3: it to being able to do it in the first go.
Speaker 5: I'm sure there's baby steps. I'm sure there's like broomsticks
Speaker 5: you're doing on his shit? Okay, yeah, yeah, I'm sure
Speaker 5: it's that way, but I don't It's one of those
Speaker 5: things that it's not available to you at school.
Speaker 3: So I've never even seen.
Speaker 1: A pole vault, Like what is the hole that they
Speaker 1: put the pole into look like?
Speaker 3: I've never even seen them.
Speaker 5: I can imagine when you're first starting it is not
Speaker 5: the pole doesn't bend that much. It's almost like you
Speaker 5: just stick it and just fly over the stick. Broomstick
Speaker 5: jumping over a fence. Yeah, I don't think it takes
Speaker 5: a while for that for the length. When once it
Speaker 5: gets high enough you get the boying.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you can fly over the thing. What's it? Supplementary question?
Speaker 3: Do you take your own stick? Yes? You think you do.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, one hundred percent. You take your own stick.
Speaker 5: I think, how do you get around the country with
Speaker 5: your bloody stick? Checking that and over the oversize that
Speaker 5: would stack? Well, I think you probably hit the road,
Speaker 5: wouldn't you international would it even fit in a bus?
Speaker 1: And then tertiary question, you're on a do you need
Speaker 1: different sticks as the hike gets higher?
Speaker 5: No, they're all the same size. At a certain level,
Speaker 5: they're the same size. So I think you can know
Speaker 5: you can actually choose. They were talking about this on
Speaker 5: the commentary because they had the same questions as you did,
Speaker 5: not about how to start, but they what are the
Speaker 5: poles made of? The like carbon fiber so they can
Speaker 5: bend enough but not snap. Yeah, and there's another type
Speaker 5: you can use, and you can use any size you want.
Speaker 1: Apparently, Oh really, but I guess it's a certain link
Speaker 1: that becomes too hard to get up.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you bend over and you're left standing on the
Speaker 5: track with a bendie pole.
Speaker 3: Yeah, torsioned up, ready to spring.
Speaker 1: Yeah okay, so yeah, so there's a natural limit to
Speaker 1: It's like a golf tee at a certain height, it's
Speaker 1: actually not.
Speaker 3: Helping you anymore. But I did run of that. I
Speaker 3: was just like, as they go higher, do they like
Speaker 3: I've got to pull out the old five.
Speaker 5: Meters, the old old, the big dog, pull out the
Speaker 5: odd six.
Speaker 1: But then I wonder if there is a chance that
Speaker 1: someone could come in, you know, an athlete that just
Speaker 1: happened to be say seven odd feet tall, and she
Speaker 1: was just like, I can actually man the tallest thick
Speaker 1: I think it.
Speaker 3: I think size.
Speaker 5: Also, you don't want to put be too big because
Speaker 5: then you need a biggest stack returns.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Adam, I do have some facts.
Speaker 5: Yeah, pole links vary between three meters five and can
Speaker 5: go all the way up to five meters thirty, which
Speaker 5: is high.
Speaker 3: Yeah, than they were jumping.
Speaker 5: Yeah, this is across men and women, because the dudes
Speaker 5: were jumping five and a half gonna.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, there is a point of diminishing returns because
Speaker 1: I thought, you know, most sports, they end up the
Speaker 1: same body type of Eliza McCartney's quite taller, a lot taller.
Speaker 3: Than the other two.
Speaker 1: Yeah, huge fan of Olivia McTaggart with the Dwight Howard
Speaker 1: sleeves on.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I like enjoying the sleeve and prime twenty ten
Speaker 5: Dwight Howard.
Speaker 3: I thought that was great.
Speaker 1: I've been saying this whole Olympics, we've got the best kit,
Speaker 1: and that looks sick. I think she was the only
Speaker 1: one who had those sleeves on. They look meat going
Speaker 1: up there slinging yourself over that thing. So yeah, I
Speaker 1: guess at a certain point it becomes about how hard
Speaker 1: you can fling yourself into the ear on that thing.
Speaker 3: And the sleeve's a warmth thin. I don't know that.
Speaker 1: They're a big thing in basketball, and I've never no
Speaker 1: one's ever been able to explain to me. I've had
Speaker 1: some dudes be like, oh, well, it's electic acid that's
Speaker 1: building up in your and your and what is the
Speaker 1: what are the sleeves compression to?
Speaker 3: I just push it back out of your arms. I
Speaker 3: don't know. All I know she looks sick in those things.
Speaker 1: They look badass, and she's running in there with those
Speaker 1: and just flinging herself over what's what was the tar
Speaker 1: all over their hands?
Speaker 5: Oh right, Yeah, so that's you're allowed to spray your
Speaker 5: hands with some sticky shit, you know, like to gloves,
Speaker 5: so and it just helps you.
Speaker 3: Grip the grip the pole. I guess.
Speaker 5: So they've got that sticky airs, shit all over their hands.
Speaker 5: It just looks like tar. Yeah, pretty much is they.
Speaker 3: Dip their hands in tar? But yeah, I thought there was.
Speaker 1: They gave a great account of the nation there in
Speaker 1: that Pole World Final. Liza McCartney finished sixth, the neath twelfth.
Speaker 1: The gut in the boat want her heat as well.
Speaker 1: Basically the same with like I was saying about Emma Twig.
Speaker 1: You can't let Lisa Carrington off the bus or you've
Speaker 1: lost your race. You can't let her out of the
Speaker 1: parking lot, because as soon as she's on that in
Speaker 1: that boat, it's over. She from the first pedal stroke,
Speaker 1: I guess, is in front and she never gets overtaken
Speaker 1: from there.
Speaker 5: Come on the K two and the K four kayak
Speaker 5: they have the skirts, you know, the skirts that go over,
Speaker 5: but a lot of the K ones they don't have anything.
Speaker 5: Yeah they have no skirt. But Lisa had a skirt
Speaker 5: for her K one.
Speaker 3: Yes, some of them didn't. Yeah, and they had the
Speaker 3: knees gun.
Speaker 5: Is that maybe it's a wash thing. Maybe on the fours,
Speaker 5: this is so much fucking wash spraying everywhere that you
Speaker 5: eventually fill the boat.
Speaker 1: That'll be it. Yeah, because there's yeah, if you got
Speaker 1: the goat in the boat in front of you.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and she's absolutely yeah, Yeah, you're in the back.
Speaker 5: You got like ten liters of water.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you can turn in again tomorrow to two guys
Speaker 1: try and figure out the Olympics as well.
Speaker 3: She'll be back in the boat waiting. Yeah, how the
Speaker 3: fuck does the javelin work well? Tory Peters and I've
Speaker 3: been saying this for the last two weeks. I don't
Speaker 3: think I've cried this much. And since I was a toddler,
Speaker 3: I reckon.
Speaker 1: Since I was a baby, Tory Peters is out there
Speaker 1: throwing javelin around in the in the field. She didn't
Speaker 1: quite make the qualifying mark, which was like sixty odd meters,
Speaker 1: and then after that you go to your distance.
Speaker 3: She was like talking about.
Speaker 1: How you know, she come from Gore and she never
Speaker 1: thought she'd make it to the Olympics, and she did
Speaker 1: it for the little girl growing up in Gore.
Speaker 3: And I'm sitting on the catch. I felt that way
Speaker 3: this whole Olympics.
Speaker 1: I was crying watching Emma twig Row, not even like
Speaker 1: her talking about the journey just as she's doing it.
Speaker 3: It was when I watched those two women quit brand
Speaker 3: to Bean's yelder. So yeah, she gave a great account
Speaker 3: of herself as well.
Speaker 1: She didn't quite qualify she It was such a heartbreaking
Speaker 1: interview too, because the interviewed as soon as she'd thrown
Speaker 1: it and she knew she wasn't going to make the final,
Speaker 1: but I hadn't been confirmed. She was like, I don't
Speaker 1: think that's good enough to make the final, and then
Speaker 1: she started crying.
Speaker 3: Them you'll make the final. She didn't. Hamish curR is
Speaker 3: through to Sunday's final, though, did you watch him last night?
Speaker 3: Was terrifying. It was terrified. It was terrifying.
Speaker 5: It was a height which he basically walked over all
Speaker 5: season and he failed twice and it almost didn't make
Speaker 5: it through.
Speaker 1: After he failed the second time, he then started pacing
Speaker 1: out his run up, so he obviously got his link
Speaker 1: wrong and I was like, he's done.
Speaker 3: He's done. There's no way you don't.
Speaker 1: You don't go from missing twice to then checking like
Speaker 1: that's what you start doing when you think you're about
Speaker 1: to lose.
Speaker 5: I really hope he wins because the two other favorites,
Speaker 5: the Italian and the Guitari deck, like, I just think
Speaker 5: they are the nuts they're the guys who shared the
Speaker 5: gold medal in Tokyo, and they walk round like massive cocks.
Speaker 5: And I want Hamish cur to walk in with a
Speaker 5: bigger one, slap it over that high jump and when
Speaker 5: the gold, because it'll make me feel he looks like
Speaker 5: a much better winner than those two. Oh those two.
Speaker 5: One of those two went. I can't stand it.
Speaker 4: No.
Speaker 3: I know there are some real and there are some
Speaker 3: real punishes in all of these events, and most often
Speaker 3: it's the Americans, But in the high jump yesterday, it
Speaker 3: was the Jamaican dude. He had a headband, he had.
Speaker 1: Glasses, he had three gold chains, he had three different
Speaker 1: risks adornments, one of them will watch. His shoes are
Speaker 1: of coarse fluorescent green and orange. And then he had
Speaker 1: some dangly shit around his legs as well. I was
Speaker 1: just like, fuck, I hope you lose because of that
Speaker 1: thing around your ankles. Did he nah in the final
Speaker 1: A mate it? Yeah? I think he might be in
Speaker 1: the final year. Well, it was funny when when old Amsku,
Speaker 1: when he got over, he got he.
Speaker 5: Cleared it by miles and he could see the relief.
Speaker 5: He was like one of them. He whacked off of
Speaker 5: the back of his shoulders. He just just cooked it.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 5: The commentator was absolutely giving it to him as well
Speaker 5: on that first one, I know, and I was like,
Speaker 5: oh god, oh God, oh god.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought I thought he was going to do
Speaker 1: it as well. But in Middle News last night, a
Speaker 1: silver for New Zealand. It was a pursuit team pursuit,
Speaker 1: was it?
Speaker 3: Yep?
Speaker 1: The four of them, Ali Williston, Branny Both, Emily Sherman
Speaker 1: and Nicole Shieltz.
Speaker 5: This is a great story. This is a great story.
Speaker 5: I've done some research on this around this quad, this
Speaker 5: team and how they got here. Okay, so so this
Speaker 5: is a good story. By the way, they first met
Speaker 5: when they all flattered together at Wakeeta University in Hamilton,
Speaker 5: said Ali Williston, Briani both as you said, Emily Sherman
Speaker 5: and the Cole Shields. They had a full bedroom flat
Speaker 5: in the suburb of Hillcrest, which is quite close to
Speaker 5: the university in Hamilton, and to save money on taxis
Speaker 5: into town, into Hood Street, et cetera, where all the
Speaker 5: bars are, they purchased two tandem bikes and the idea
Speaker 5: being on a night out two of them would would
Speaker 5: be sober riders and would ride the other and the
Speaker 5: other two would get on the drink and then they'd
Speaker 5: teened them home again. So after eight months of living
Speaker 5: together out in Hillcrest, they started to record the times
Speaker 5: of them going from their flat into Hood Street. Yeah,
Speaker 5: and they left flat was on Night and Road in Hillcrest,
Speaker 5: and they'd gone to Hood Street, home of the outback
Speaker 5: and the bank, et cetera. A two point eight kilometer trip,
Speaker 5: so it's not long. So initially the ride would take
Speaker 5: them fifteen to twenty minutes. A crossing the river, Yeah,
Speaker 5: a crossing the river, crossing the Anzac Bridge, So they
Speaker 5: go down Knight and Road, they'd go right onto Clyde
Speaker 5: Street for a quick left right and over Anzac Bridge,
Speaker 5: then a right up Victoria and a quick left in
Speaker 5: the Hood. If you know Hamilton, you know exactly what
Speaker 5: I'm talking about. So with two tandem bikes, the bikes
Speaker 5: became more and more. Bike rides became more and more
Speaker 5: competitive between the two two flatmates. So it was Ali
Speaker 5: and Emily on one bike and n Cole and Briny
Speaker 5: on the other.
Speaker 3: So that's that's how it worked.
Speaker 5: And get this, so the fastest recorded time they clocked
Speaker 5: after twelve months remember it started to ten like fifteen
Speaker 5: to twenty minutes. After twelve months of doing this they
Speaker 5: got it down to six minutes over how long did
Speaker 5: you say two point o k two point eight case
Speaker 5: several corners in a bridge. They did say it was
Speaker 5: very traffic dependent with various lights and roundabouts and Ali
Speaker 5: Wilston Ali Wilson stated the best time was recorded at
Speaker 5: three am as there was simply no traffic. However, visibility
Speaker 5: and the impairment of your partner were challenging, was the quote.
Speaker 5: So after two years of this, the Flatmates Society actually
Speaker 5: had potential when it came to cycling and they dropped
Speaker 5: the late night tandem escapades and got into road cycling
Speaker 5: and then into the Valodrome. And they still live together
Speaker 5: in Cambridge, which is the home of the high performance
Speaker 5: New Zealand cycling program with the Valodrome out there.
Speaker 3: So what a fat story? Yeah, grassroots, I hope it's true.
Speaker 1: Also, God, how good would it be to be the
Speaker 1: one who was just allowed to get blacked out?
Speaker 5: They said they had took to they took tunes. Yeah,
Speaker 5: they took tns. So it wasn't always the same sober driver.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's your turn to be at the front of
Speaker 3: the tandems.
Speaker 5: And yeah yeah, and you at the back, Yeah, got
Speaker 5: how cast That's what I'm surprised the fastest one was
Speaker 5: three am, because surely the people on the back one
Speaker 5: were like, I don't know, like.
Speaker 1: When you're wasted, you can walk really fast, you know,
Speaker 1: without being too worried about it.
Speaker 3: How does that work with cycling?
Speaker 5: I know that you can actually be done drunk cycling
Speaker 5: in charge of a cycle, I think you can, But
Speaker 5: what if you're a tandem What if you're on the back.
Speaker 5: I mean, so always be sobing drone riding on bikes,
Speaker 5: but if you're steering at the front.
Speaker 1: I think because it's initially I was like, well, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's just like sitting passenger in a car, but it's
Speaker 1: different because from passenger would be very tough to crash
Speaker 1: a car, but if you're on the back of a
Speaker 1: tandem bike, you could definitely crash that bike if you're wasted.
Speaker 3: Ye.
Speaker 1: I remember growing up people would always say you should
Speaker 1: ride your horse home from the pub because it's got
Speaker 1: a mind of its own, so you can't be done
Speaker 1: diic because they would have to breathalyze the horses to
Speaker 1: see if it was drunk or not.
Speaker 3: I don't know. I think that's bullshit.
Speaker 1: I do know that of a person who may or
Speaker 1: may not be related to me, who lived in Australia
Speaker 1: and in the town they were and they were building
Speaker 1: a railway that went behind the pub, local pub, and
Speaker 1: they scrapped the railway halfway through it, so they were
Speaker 1: left with this big, long, flat bit of land. He
Speaker 1: lived on a big station just out of Billow Wheeler there,
Speaker 1: allegedly reportedly, and would fly to the pub and land
Speaker 1: on the flat but out the back sink Purcell day
Speaker 1: flies plane back home because how the hell is a
Speaker 1: cop going to pull you over in the sky?
Speaker 3: That's true. Yeah, Now I don't know whether that's true
Speaker 3: or not. Wow, why wouldn't you out back?
Speaker 5: There's different rules And now I'm sure the helicopter's been
Speaker 5: flying around the outback Willie.
Speaker 3: Nelly, Yeah wasted so.
Speaker 1: Allegedly that person was my uncle. But I don't know
Speaker 1: whether that's true or not. That that's just one of
Speaker 1: those you to fly with. It goes around the family.
Speaker 1: I didn't, but I did go and see his hangar.
Speaker 3: Good call. The planes exist. I'd stay away, I'd walk
Speaker 3: but that's really interesting about our four girls there. Yeah,
Speaker 3: looking further afield.
Speaker 5: I don't know where I got that from. By the way,
Speaker 5: I just I just searched, just a next door.
Speaker 3: Each and that's what came up. Investigative, So you do
Speaker 3: your own research journalism. Australian hockey player Tom Craig has
Speaker 3: apologized after being arrested for trying to buy cocaine in Paris,
Speaker 3: just days after the team's Olympic campaign came to an end.
Speaker 1: He escaped with a warning from police, and then released
Speaker 1: an official apology. I'd firstly like to apologize for what's
Speaker 1: occurred in the last twenty four hours. I made a
Speaker 1: terrible mistake. I take full responsibility for my actions. My
Speaker 1: actions are my own and in no way reflect the
Speaker 1: values my family, my teammates, my friends, my sport, the
Speaker 1: Australian Olympic team.
Speaker 3: I've embarrassed you all. I'm truly sorry all time. Apology.
Speaker 5: He's taken it on the chin. Yeah, what is it
Speaker 5: with Paris and getting busted the cocaine? Obviously, Ali Williams
Speaker 5: at the same situation, they obviously set stings up the police.
Speaker 1: That might be it, and let's go and be ready
Speaker 1: to go that. Yeah, we were there for a week
Speaker 1: and never got off it at once.
Speaker 5: We're hanging around like bad smells. Sure, we were sitting duck.
Speaker 3: We were very clear marks if you were going to
Speaker 3: try and string us. And what I loved about this
Speaker 3: was one of the Australian news outlets posted the story
Speaker 3: and it was on Facebook and I clicked on the comments.
Speaker 1: Sure enough, first comment from a woman who's generally first
Speaker 1: named Karen. He shouldn't have done it in the first place.
Speaker 1: That way he wouldn't have felt embarrassed or had to apologize. Thanks,
Speaker 1: thank you for that one.
Speaker 3: Karen's care. I don't think he's disgraced his country at all.
Speaker 5: He's look that he I'd say that he has just
Speaker 5: been hung out to dry. There is a lot of athletes,
Speaker 5: oh and.
Speaker 3: Also beyond the nosebiers.
Speaker 1: Who around the world has had their opinion of Australia
Speaker 1: changed by this story.
Speaker 3: Australia anymore.
Speaker 1: Yeah, their Olympic athletes did, and they went to Paris
Speaker 1: in the prime of their lives. The five kilometer races
Speaker 1: were going on last night as well overnight, and two
Speaker 1: of the heats had some of the wildest interactions that
Speaker 1: I've seen at the Olympics so far. So in the
Speaker 1: first heat, a cameraman who was filming something else walked
Speaker 1: into the middle of the track, so he was standing there.
Speaker 1: You know, there's like ten lanes. He would have been
Speaker 1: in about lane five. But in the five k, they're
Speaker 1: all running together on the inside of the track. He's
Speaker 1: filming like that way. Then he gets a shot. Whatever
Speaker 1: turns just starts walking, walks straight into the middle of
Speaker 1: the pack. Of all of these things, no one fell over,
Speaker 1: but everyone had to like sidestep each other. A couple
Speaker 1: of guys had to almost stop so like he could
Speaker 1: have potentially robed people of qualifying times.
Speaker 3: We're doing that, which is some dumb shait. This is
Speaker 3: how dudes get hit by javelins.
Speaker 1: Then in the second one, the second head of the
Speaker 1: five k, there was a four man pile up.
Speaker 3: I saw that.
Speaker 1: I saw the pile up. Yeah, so someone got their
Speaker 1: league's clip. They went down.
Speaker 3: Three of them were in one thing, and then another
Speaker 3: guy wasn't watching. He couldn't avoid it. And then four
Speaker 3: man pile up.
Speaker 1: So the five k, he would have thought that that
Speaker 1: was the most disastrous thing. And then finally Cuban super
Speaker 1: heavyweight Greco Roman wrestler Mijen Lopez is the first athlete
Speaker 1: ever to claim five successive Olympic gold medals in an
Speaker 1: individual event superheavyweight.
Speaker 3: Here's one hundred and thirty kilo. Have you seen him?
Speaker 5: Yeah, he could come again next in the next Olympics.
Speaker 5: And I think when he looks like the most dangerous
Speaker 5: individual I've seen.
Speaker 1: He looks exactly how you would think the super heavyweight
Speaker 1: Greco Roman wrestling. Yeah, his head comes straight off the
Speaker 1: top of his shoulders, no.
Speaker 3: Neck, no ears are all mushed.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, is a mutilated He speaks with a quite
Speaker 1: clear lisp. Despite the fact I can't understand his language.
Speaker 1: He has a very clear lisp. And he is just
Speaker 1: just like the thickest limbs that you've ever seen in
Speaker 1: your life. Forty one years old and all he's done
Speaker 1: his entire life has wrestled. They showed his home and
Speaker 1: I think, is he Cuban And it was a pretty
Speaker 1: modest home with just four gold medals just on the
Speaker 1: wall of his mum's house. Yeah, you're right, he could
Speaker 1: probably do it again. But I just thought it was
Speaker 1: interesting that that sport Greco Roman wrestling has been around
Speaker 1: for two and a half thousand years. There has probably
Speaker 1: never existed a man that could beat him at it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'd say so, he looks terrifying.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Also, this morning the under forty nine kg women's weightless.
Speaker 3: Oh they got into action or have they finished? They
Speaker 3: may well have finished by now. And look, hold on,
Speaker 3: I may have.
Speaker 5: Betten off more than I can chew because these were
Speaker 5: women were like little pocket battleships. When they came out,
Speaker 5: I was like, this can't be the under forty nine.
Speaker 5: And then the commentator goes, this is the under forty
Speaker 5: nine and I'm like, oh shit, oh shit. They were
Speaker 5: snatching eighty eighty eight ninety kgs the yeah, And I
Speaker 5: didn't quite check out the clean and jerk that was next,
Speaker 5: that was coming up next. It might maybe it might
Speaker 5: be tomorrow, okay, but it was definitely the snatch this morning.
Speaker 3: And there's some units. Man. They came out and they
Speaker 3: was so rapped. I was like, okay, yeah, okay, I
Speaker 3: think so.
Speaker 1: The the thing came from could you beat an Olympic athlete?
Speaker 3: Did anything?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: And so we immediately went to who's the smallest athlete
Speaker 1: and what do they do? And it was women's weightlifting
Speaker 1: at forty nine kilograms, and so then we looked at
Speaker 1: the Olympic record, which is ninety four and one hundred
Speaker 1: and sixteen from the snatch and.
Speaker 3: The cleaner jerk. But obviously we you don't have to
Speaker 3: be the beat the world record. No, I just want
Speaker 3: to beat the last place, the last.
Speaker 1: Place, who apparently at Tokyo was sixty nine kilos for
Speaker 1: the snatch. For the snatch, and I'm looking at the
Speaker 1: weights so far they have settled, but I can't find
Speaker 1: exactly what it is. They've only got the combined weights,
Speaker 1: which the lightest one is La Gatau from Guam. She
Speaker 1: lifted one hundred and thirty six kilograms total. Okay, total,
Speaker 1: so half that you're looking at about sixty something.
Speaker 3: But usually left more in the cleaning gyp you do.
Speaker 1: So the snatch will probably be I mean you're still
Speaker 1: around the sixty kilo mark, maybe fifty something.
Speaker 5: Okay, Look yeah, look, I'm not confident having seen these
Speaker 5: athletes and seeing their routine where the coach slaps their
Speaker 5: face about and they go on stage and.
Speaker 3: I'll do I'll do that for you. I'll talk up
Speaker 3: my heads and slapt the shit out of here. I'm
Speaker 3: sure it helps.
Speaker 1: If it helps, I'll be willing to do it, all right,
Speaker 1: So we will take this offline, we'll find out exactly
Speaker 1: what that number is, and then we're going to take
Speaker 1: this across the road in the gym if anyone out
Speaker 1: there owns runs works out a gym that we could
Speaker 1: do this at, because.
Speaker 3: I don't want to do it at there, pretty pretty gym.
Speaker 3: You're getting no every time I walk in there, I'm
Speaker 3: so acutely aware of how ugly i am. I'm the
Speaker 3: ugliest person in that room. Every time I walk in there.
Speaker 3: I tell you what, Go to the sauna and you'll
Speaker 3: be loved. Oh, here we go. I've got the Okay,
Speaker 3: I've got them.
Speaker 1: The snatch was fifty nine kilo's The cleaning jerk was
Speaker 1: seventy seven.
Speaker 5: Okay, oh yeah, seventy seven.
Speaker 1: I don't think like this isn't a strength thing Like
Speaker 1: The Snatch is quite a unique movie.
Speaker 3: I know, I'm I'm not snatching shit.
Speaker 1: Do you think that you could clean and jerk what
Speaker 1: she snatched? So fifty nine? Okay to your shoulder and
Speaker 1: then above your head. I reckon that, I reckon that's
Speaker 1: the challenge there okay, yep, all right, we'll right, we'll right,
Speaker 1: We'll go and find ourselves a gym.
Speaker 3: We'll film this.
Speaker 5: Look, I mean like I did some squats this morning
Speaker 5: with my twenty kg dumbell, so I'm pretty I'm pretty good.
Speaker 3: Two of them.
Speaker 1: That's forty so you only need another nineteen kilos and
Speaker 1: then put it above your head.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's above the head. It's going to be an issue.
Speaker 5: I can see a disloc added elbow. I hope rememb
Speaker 5: when Laurel Hubbard did that in the Fung Games. Yeah,
Speaker 5: that's going to be me.
Speaker 1: All right, keep an eye out for that video. I reckon,
Speaker 1: we're going film that once tomorrow. Let's take one more
Speaker 1: quick break and we'll come back with yours please.
Speaker 2: Yours please, brought to you by leader home of the la.
Speaker 1: Somewhere in the neighborhood of five of them to get
Speaker 1: through today, first call it yours please?
Speaker 6: All right, Lad's so forget trying to beat Paralympics or
Speaker 6: forty nine kg weightlifters. If you remember, in the two
Speaker 6: thousand Sydney Olympics, Eric the Eel Muslimbarni swim by himself.
Speaker 6: Richie will hardly swim one minute fifty two for one
Speaker 6: hundred meters, So give that a crack. Surely, surely you
Speaker 6: can get under that.
Speaker 5: So I don't know, not a fight, Why don't need it?
Speaker 5: That was the stat's two links. I could do two links.
Speaker 5: I could probably finish it better than he did because
Speaker 5: he almost looked like he was going to drown.
Speaker 3: He did look like he's going to drown you.
Speaker 5: But we're talking about this games. We can't talk about
Speaker 5: past games.
Speaker 3: We'd love to.
Speaker 1: Bring up the pass, but you know, we've got to
Speaker 1: stick with just two minutes.
Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't think I could fifty meters
Speaker 3: a long poll. Yeah, but I reckon if you've just
Speaker 3: been slim and steady, that was better than him. Yeah, true,
Speaker 3: he didn't.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you could almost breaststroke it faster or doggy doggy pedaler. Yeah,
Speaker 5: well he almost was doggy pedaling a Yeah, he had
Speaker 5: no idea.
Speaker 1: I think we talked about it. You stayed on the podcast,
Speaker 1: so didn't recognize the gun when it went off? U.
Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe I could. I can't remember the last time
Speaker 3: I swam an anger.
Speaker 5: Do you want to give it a go? You do that,
Speaker 5: I'll do the weightlifting.
Speaker 1: I feel like it's kind of mean because it's like
Speaker 1: twenty four years ago that he.
Speaker 3: Did that and now we're dredging it back up again.
Speaker 5: If I beat him and it'll be all right man,
Speaker 5: that's not at least with just DM and send it
Speaker 5: to Yeah.
Speaker 1: Over, I smeshed your record from twenty four years ago.
Speaker 1: I'll give it a try. Another call here yours please?
Speaker 5: Well, I was just.
Speaker 7: Wondering if you could explain to me why it's Great
Speaker 7: Britain at the olymp Person not England.
Speaker 5: But do they just get to pick.
Speaker 7: And choose when they want to be Great Britain and
Speaker 7: when they want to be England, Wales, Ireland and that
Speaker 7: kind of stuff?
Speaker 3: Yes, fuck Aukland.
Speaker 5: Yeah, well I mean as a as a country, England, Wales, Scotland,
Speaker 5: Northern Ireland are one country. Yeah, those same laws, same texas,
Speaker 5: the same currency. They are one country, Great Britain, but.
Speaker 3: They do themselves out by sport.
Speaker 5: Yeah, for sports and for Conwealth games and stuff, it's
Speaker 5: Scotland Commonwealth makes sense, yeah yeah, and you know when
Speaker 5: it comes to rugby and stuff, they split themselves out,
Speaker 5: but they have the Lions. But that includes Ireland as well,
Speaker 5: which makes it even wetter but yeah, they are just
Speaker 5: one country.
Speaker 3: Yeah right, so great Britain.
Speaker 1: So yeah, when I first went over there, I thought
Speaker 1: I'd have to have my passport ready when I went
Speaker 1: into Wales.
Speaker 5: I've done that. I've done that, Geg. We used to
Speaker 5: take trips over to Millennium Stadium in Cardiff all the time,
Speaker 5: and there's that bridge you go over. Yeah, I get
Speaker 5: on the microphone and go read room. We're just just
Speaker 5: about to meet the border of Wales. You're gonna get
Speaker 5: your passports ready and you can see the whole bus go.
Speaker 3: You didn't tell me to bring my passport and they'll
Speaker 3: start betting that. I just getting the same Geg every time. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I genuinely thought that.
Speaker 1: But I will say, conspiracy theory of mind, we should
Speaker 1: become a state of Australia and thereby getting a cut
Speaker 1: off all of the mining money to come over here.
Speaker 3: That'd be great. They would come into the South Island
Speaker 3: mind that shit out of the West Coast ye Southland.
Speaker 5: Yeah, they'll come and frack the shit out of our
Speaker 5: South Island and probably didn't run away with all the money.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but then for sporting purposes, we do like Scotland
Speaker 1: and Wales and we remain yeah, independent for that purpose, just.
Speaker 3: Purely commercially for economics, yes, yeah, we'll take your money.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and their interest rates are only like four a
Speaker 5: half percent.
Speaker 3: See that's what I'm talking about. Ridiculous, reparicalous. But we
Speaker 3: were saying this the other day.
Speaker 1: We're now done for the per capita medals because of
Speaker 1: Dominica and Saint Lucia and Saint Lucia who for all
Speaker 1: other sports that you follow, probably compete as the West Indies.
Speaker 3: And by all other sports, I mean one sport, cricket.
Speaker 5: But there's no other there's no other sports.
Speaker 3: They compete as the West But yeah.
Speaker 1: Like we would be ahead of the West Indies per caveident,
Speaker 1: but they've decided that they're going to compete under their
Speaker 1: own flog. Why do they play as the West Indies
Speaker 1: Because Guyana couldn't put together its own team right.
Speaker 5: Well, yeah, I think it individually is Jamaica and Barbados
Speaker 5: and Antigua, Like I don't think they'd have it, not
Speaker 5: strong enough.
Speaker 3: You don't think Turks and Caicos could field a team.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so Trinidad and Tobago kind of thing I don't. Yeah,
Speaker 5: that's that's why I mean, trust me, it's not harmonious.
Speaker 5: There is all sorts of political issues within West Indies. Yeah,
Speaker 5: you know between the Jamaicans and Barbados is always but
Speaker 5: a niggle. So that's not all. It's not all happy light,
Speaker 5: sunshine and noses.
Speaker 3: But I do think for our per capita and interests
Speaker 3: we should roll them back together and then that would
Speaker 3: bump us up.
Speaker 5: And everyone has a British passport. Everyone has a British
Speaker 5: passport in those countries, Wales, Scotland, everyone, So it's it's
Speaker 5: one country.
Speaker 3: I thought you've been in the fucking caraban.
Speaker 5: No, no, no, I'm just talking about going back to
Speaker 5: the question. Yea, all right, another call here yours spose.
Speaker 8: Kilda with the whole world competing at the Olympics at
Speaker 8: the moment, you know, I got bloody Kazakhstan, Ligtenstein, even
Speaker 8: North Korea's Yeah. Does that sort of mean that the
Speaker 8: Vatican can qualify as well because our country? If so,
Speaker 8: what sport do you think the Pope would do pretty
Speaker 8: well in? Anyway? Have a bloody good one.
Speaker 3: The Chadams, your Dams, buckle yourself, and for this I've
Speaker 3: done some research. Chair buck off.
Speaker 1: The Vatican has never competed in the Olympics before. They
Speaker 1: don't even have like an Olympic committee at the Vatican.
Speaker 1: They did send a cyclist to the World Champs in
Speaker 1: like twenty twenty two or twenty twenty three.
Speaker 5: But you've got to know, if you've been to the Vatican,
Speaker 5: it's basically a church. It's a church surrounded by a
Speaker 5: bunch of Swiss guards dressed like clowns. It's tiny, It's
Speaker 5: like one square kilometer or something. Yeah, I don't think
Speaker 5: it's producing many Well.
Speaker 3: Where would you exercise for start. I think it's producing
Speaker 3: many people. Little.
Speaker 5: It's just there for to protect the pope. Yeah, no,
Speaker 5: one hundred percent.
Speaker 1: But back in the day when it was part of
Speaker 1: the Holy Roman Empire, they did build a chariot track,
Speaker 1: oh on what is now the Vatican City it was,
Speaker 1: and they did chariot track racing there, known as the
Speaker 1: Circus of Nero, and a few of the popes did
Speaker 1: partake in the chariot racing. So I think we said
Speaker 1: yesterday we should bring chariot racing back to the Olympics,
Speaker 1: And I think if we did that then we could
Speaker 1: probably coax one of the popes into the chariot's there.
Speaker 1: You'd be a brave man to take out the pope
Speaker 1: on his chariot. Yeah, I reckon chariot racing. If they
Speaker 1: had to do anything, He's not gonna get on the
Speaker 1: pole volt is it?
Speaker 3: You know? No, I don't think so he needs.
Speaker 5: He's more a standing up kind of moving guy, like
Speaker 5: he's in the popemobile.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: If we brought motor games into the Olympics, I think
Speaker 1: we've got a couple more hair yours please.
Speaker 9: Gooday boys, that's Chris p Cock here. Hey, I in
Speaker 9: regards to the canoe guys and the Olympics, I've seen
Speaker 9: a really scathing headline from Radio New Zealand and it
Speaker 9: made me think as actual sports journalism more ruthless than
Speaker 9: adjacent sports journalism, which put more fun, loving and caring anyway.
Speaker 5: Who Yeah, I saw them cop a bit of shit
Speaker 5: yesterday from like non sporting people and it was getting
Speaker 5: a little bit out of control because it.
Speaker 1: Was They went to Ian Ferguson yeah and asked him
Speaker 1: and he said.
Speaker 3: It's put a dent in the silver food fuck off.
Speaker 5: I know, any And then there was but then they
Speaker 5: rang a few of the new Zealand kayak people and
Speaker 5: they're like, look, this has been done by other nations
Speaker 5: for the previous Olympics. These guys who had done the
Speaker 5: opposite herre not qualified for the canoe, but have been
Speaker 5: good as a guy from Canada, right, and they went
Speaker 5: the back door and did the kayaking and he got
Speaker 5: a place in the canoe and won bronze.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and so everyone's been doing it.
Speaker 5: It's like it's a means to an end and they're
Speaker 5: in the semi final and the k FO both good
Speaker 5: on them.
Speaker 3: Also, what's more key with than just showing up and
Speaker 3: having a crack?
Speaker 5: And also do you not think that they felt slightly
Speaker 5: stink coming over the line a minute later than everyone else,
Speaker 5: Like the pylon from non sporting people yesterday was just
Speaker 5: out of control, which proves your point.
Speaker 1: Yes, the mainstream sports media are way harsher on our athletes,
Speaker 1: then we the alternate sports media are well.
Speaker 5: And also there is no sports student. It's hardly left anyway.
Speaker 3: No, there's not. They are dying brew.
Speaker 1: But even when I worked in the mainstream sports media,
Speaker 1: we'll put an interview out as a podcast, and if
Speaker 1: I put a positive title on that podcast, it would
Speaker 1: get x amount of downloads. If I put a negative one,
Speaker 1: it would get like three four times as many downloads. Ye,
Speaker 1: people the same piece of audio people love. So when
Speaker 1: people say, man, the sports media are so negative in here,
Speaker 1: it's like, that's what you want.
Speaker 3: To listen to. There's a certain portion of the population
Speaker 3: you just want to listen to that kind of thing.
Speaker 5: They should they I think those those boys should be
Speaker 5: the flag bearers on the closing.
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, one hundred percent. What they did for the
Speaker 1: country was going over and above.
Speaker 3: Totally because they would have hated that. Yeah, they're athletes,
Speaker 3: they're competitive.
Speaker 5: They were like fuck And even the guy from I
Speaker 5: think Kayaking US only goes, see he was on an
Speaker 5: interview and he goes, if you tried that, he goes,
Speaker 5: I've tried it a couple of times. I fell out
Speaker 5: of the boat twice. I couldn't even get it going straight. Yeah,
Speaker 5: so that's how hard it is. You can see them
Speaker 5: when they were coming over. They both had the oars
Speaker 5: in the same side because I just trunk so hard
