It's all preliminary and it's the start, 11 00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:21,759 Speaker 1: and it's slowly bit sure to get there eventually, but 12 00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:24,759 Speaker 1: pretty much on Thursday night things get under way. 13 00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:27,560 Speaker 2: So I mean, like, where's the promo for it? I 14 00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:28,120 Speaker 2: didn't know it was. 15 00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:30,520 Speaker 1: Well, they've got the America's Cup currently is being well, 16 00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:33,519 Speaker 1: not yet, I think September.

So that's part of the promotion. 23 00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:54,240 Speaker 1: I wonder if it's too little, too late, or it's 24 00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:56,800 Speaker 1: just a last minute thought, or it's they're on his 25 00:00:56,840 --> 00:01:00,680 Speaker 1: zelland yacht squadron saying, well, we've got it. Looks really cool. 26 00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:03,000 Speaker 1: She saw it a couple of days ago. It was awesome, 27 00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:04,680 Speaker 1: kind of cool to look at it, kind of pick 28 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,800 Speaker 1: it up, no, and take it around to encourage people 29 00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:09,280 Speaker 1: to look at because after all, there's kind of the 30 00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:11,520 Speaker 1: Royal and zeel and yacht squads and they're looking after it. 31 00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:15,959 Speaker 1: I kind of think the horse might have bolted because 32 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:18,120 Speaker 1: it's over there. It's on the other side of the world. 33 00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:19,160 Speaker 2: What's the time zone. 34 00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:21,959 Speaker 1: I think it's going to be like two thirty in 35 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:26,039 Speaker 1: the morning. As so horrible way, Well, we've all got 36 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:28,320 Speaker 1: you know, Beata Max's or vh SS or sky or 37 00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:29,840 Speaker 1: whatever it is to record it. You can watch it 38 00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:30,480 Speaker 1: the next day. 39 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:32,679 Speaker 2: That's not put the text all the fun out of it. 40 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,000 Speaker 1: Just yeah, when it gets to the final maybe you 41 00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,160 Speaker 1: watch it. Like I'm really keen on the sailing itself, 42 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:39,200 Speaker 1: and I'm really keen on the technology. It's one on 43 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:41,720 Speaker 1: the water. I'm all over it. But I wonder about 44 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:48,560 Speaker 1: the disconnect between Team Grant, Dalton Airways and everybody else 45 00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:51,640 Speaker 1: and whether any of the good Wall's actually still there. 46 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,160 Speaker 1: Whether it feels like ours right, Yeah, I don't know 47 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 1: if it does. And a man who was involved with 48 00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:04,000 Speaker 1: the America's Cup way back when, Jim Farmer kse he 49 00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:09,200 Speaker 1: joined us tonight after seven talking about whether actually him 50 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 1: and his circle people he knows has been heavily in sailing. 51 00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:16,239 Speaker 2: Racing commentator though, is he? I mean he's had he 52 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:20,040 Speaker 2: tried to basically take the thing off, Grant. 53 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 1: Dunfey, I think, but rightly so, because they just basically 54 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:25,320 Speaker 1: picked it up and flogged it and ran off. And 55 00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:27,679 Speaker 1: you knew that interview. When was it? Maybe it was 56 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:29,960 Speaker 1: the start of the year in the last year when 57 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,280 Speaker 1: he was talking about how great Saudi Arabia was and 58 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,160 Speaker 1: be a fantastic place to host the next America's Cup. 59 00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,040 Speaker 1: And I'm like, Mike, I'm sorry, did I just hear 60 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:41,960 Speaker 1: that you haven't even defended it and already you've given 61 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,160 Speaker 1: it to Saudi ra. It's a great place over here, 62 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 1: nothing wrong, it's fantastic. They're really friendly. Of course they're friendly. 63 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 1: They want to sport watch with your cup. 64 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 2: Oh money is friendly. I just like, so it's never 65 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 2: coming back, right, Well, you get the feeling that way 66 00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:01,000 Speaker 2: if they defend it Arabia. Oh yeah, and then if 67 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 2: we don't defend it, what's the chance of us going 68 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 2: back and do it again. I wonder what the government 69 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:08,880 Speaker 2: of thinking now going Actually probably good saving of one hundred. 70 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:10,720 Speaker 1: Million dollars exactly, we can use the money for something. 71 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 1: And I think in this day, in this day and age, no, 72 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,400 Speaker 1: it's really keen on flagrant abusive cash, are they? 73 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:17,880 Speaker 2: I would agree with you on that one. Darcy. It's 74 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:18,760 Speaker 2: good to have you in the studio. 75 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:19,960 Speaker 1: Thank you for thanks for having us. 76 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:20,919 Speaker 2: That's Darcy water Grave. 77 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 1: We'll be back at seven o'clock with Jim Farmer.
