1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,160
Speaker 1: Darcy water Grave sports talk hosters with me right now. Hey, Darce,

2
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:07,039
Speaker 1: I'm expecting you to come in hot with your opinions

3
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:10,639
Speaker 1: about why the C two five hundred canoeists was so embarrassing.

4
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:14,920
Speaker 2: Means to an end, that's what it was. It's pretty

5
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 2: It's pretty simple for me that they found an opportunity

6
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:21,560
Speaker 2: to qualify the K four get the rollers there that

7
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:25,200
Speaker 2: they wanted. The rollers knew, the kayakers, knew the canoe

8
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 2: is new when they got there after only three months

9
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 2: of training, they were going to get stone cold marvelous.

10
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:33,519
Speaker 2: They knew that they were under nassy illusion.

11
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:36,239
Speaker 1: If there wasn't like two meters between us and this

12
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:38,120
Speaker 1: desk guy would lean over and give you a high five.

13
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 1: Right now, you're really yeah, because you know what I

14
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 1: think is going on here. We have got a complex

15
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 1: in this country about needing to overperform, and anytime somebody

16
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:48,559
Speaker 1: does like, it's all like so embarrassing for us. We're

17
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:49,160
Speaker 1: taking this person.

18
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:50,520
Speaker 2: It's embarrassed.

19
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 1: No, no decular.

20
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 2: There are the guys in the canoe they're probably not

21
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 2: feeling great about it, but they knew. That's not like

22
00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 2: they went, oh wow, we're getting flogged by hundreds of

23
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 2: meat did they?

24
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 1: What a surprise?

25
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 2: And it was just going a bit of a ghost

26
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 2: like because the later on and that's what you want

27
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 2: to do?

28
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 1: It even seated in the thing properly?

29
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:11,119
Speaker 2: Were they to me? I looked at it when it

30
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 2: was not ideal, But they knew, they knew how good?

31
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 1: Hey listen though, aren't there some questions to answer here

32
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:20,480
Speaker 1: about canoeing, like how stink is your sport? If New

33
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 1: Zealand can make it in with two guys who've done

34
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 1: none of the stuff by beating a sixty and a

35
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 1: seventy year old, it.

36
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 2: Wasn't even them that did it, the qualified, but some

37
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 2: other guys. And you know they only won that race

38
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:35,760
Speaker 2: by about three seconds. They didn't even thrash them against

39
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 2: the seventy year old. Yeah. Well, and there was also

40
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 2: a fifty year old thinking there's some one boat? Is

41
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 2: that right? Look, they found a reason, they found a

42
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 2: way to exploit the laws. Maybe that's not the best

43
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 2: word exploitations never a good technicalities. Yeah, and went okay,

44
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 2: you know what, we can do this and we're going

45
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 2: to go that way. It was the K one one

46
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 2: thousand guy who couldn't get through, but trying to get

47
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,120
Speaker 2: hold of them to make comment on this that the

48
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 2: powers that be said, look, this is the way we're going.

49
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 2: It's going to be best for us, and you guys

50
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 2: have all got to buy and you've all got to

51
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 2: play the game. I suppose at a higher level you

52
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 2: look at the Olympics and you look at inc and

53
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 2: you look at the Olympic Games full stop, and go, hey,

54
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 2: do you know what happened? This is really your fault

55
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 2: because without the law that you put in place, this

56
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,640
Speaker 2: would never have had this. So if anybody's going to

57
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 2: take the slap in the face, it's going to be

58
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 2: the higher authority, not continuities. Are you going to high

59
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 2: five me again?

60
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 1: No, I'm going to ask you whether they're going to

61
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 1: do any good at the K four.

62
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,920
Speaker 2: The K four just sneaked in, just sneaked in.

63
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 1: So they came fourth out of fifth in their first heat,

64
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 1: and then they came second in their second, which suggests

65
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,920
Speaker 1: they improve their performance a bit. Yeah, but they're in

66
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 1: the B final.

67
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:47,079
Speaker 2: They sneaked in. Look I don't. I'm not. There's no

68
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:51,239
Speaker 2: faux outrage from me. There's no people lose, people come last,

69
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 2: athing new I mean, you look at we go back

70
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 2: to Eddie the Eagle Edwards, he knew he was going

71
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:01,359
Speaker 2: to get absolutely flogged, but he went there anyway. Erical,

72
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 2: he knew he was going to be an absolute disaster,

73
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 2: but he went there anyway.

74
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 1: Good times.

75
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 2: You know the Jamaican Bob Slid team, they knew it

76
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:10,679
Speaker 2: was going to be a but they went there and

77
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 2: they had their Olympic experience. And if you look at

78
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 2: the Olympic Games and you look at the people that

79
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 2: run up the rear, the tail enders, they're everywhere there's

80
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 2: someone who's disaster, and they had the Olympic.

81
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 1: All of the other guys that you've mentioned are guys

82
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: who are participating in their chosen sport. These guys are not.

83
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 2: There's an argument that says that that was their chosen

84
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 2: sport because they qualified. See too, it's not.

85
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 1: But don't worry about what's coming up.

86
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 2: Over so much good.
