Anyway, I need to get 0:04:10.880 --> 0:04:12.440 hold of some of those lollies and melt them down, 0:04:12.440 --> 0:04:15.680 put them in my butter so that the bloke who 0:04:16.880 --> 0:04:18.799 so that the bloke who has been stealing my butter 0:04:19.320 --> 0:04:21.360 can find out the hard way. I think I won't 0:04:21.360 --> 0:04:24.039 put three hundred times their regular dose. I'll probably just 0:04:24.040 --> 0:04:24.960 put like a normal dose. 0:04:25.120 --> 0:04:26.679 Is it a block of butter or are you talking 0:04:26.680 --> 0:04:30.080 like an Oliviano tub blocker butter. 0:04:30.160 --> 0:04:32.240 That's how I knew people were using it, because it's, 0:04:32.320 --> 0:04:34.640 you know, in the wee foil situation. So the foil 0:04:34.760 --> 0:04:37.960 I showed up one day, fo was just barged. Someone's 0:04:37.960 --> 0:04:38.440 been in here. 0:04:38.640 --> 0:04:38.880 Look. 0:04:38.920 --> 0:04:40.760 I understand there's an element of risk when you put 0:04:40.760 --> 0:04:43.120 your food in a communal fruit, but I would never 0:04:43.160 --> 0:04:44.320 steal someone's butter like that. 0:04:44.360 --> 0:04:47.839 How about you seek revenge by transferring that butter into 0:04:47.839 --> 0:04:51.800 a tub, a bigger tub. First of all, just lad 0:04:51.800 --> 0:04:54.280 two in the bottom of the top and then carefully 0:04:54.279 --> 0:04:56.839 spread your butter on the top, and then. 0:04:58.320 --> 0:04:59.560 And they put it back in there. 0:04:59.400 --> 0:05:01.440 And then the thie full jag in for his last bet, 0:05:01.680 --> 0:05:02.719 and he will come up with her. 0:05:02.839 --> 0:05:04.200 Yeah, I don't mind that you might. 0:05:04.440 --> 0:05:06.000 When I was at boarding school, there was a story 0:05:06.000 --> 0:05:08.719 going around that the seventh formers, years before I was there, 0:05:09.200 --> 0:05:11.760 started homebrewing beer so that they could drink, you know, 0:05:12.279 --> 0:05:14.800 at the hostel. And whoever the you know, the matrons 0:05:14.839 --> 0:05:17.800 are running the hostel, they found it. They didn't tell anyone. 0:05:18.040 --> 0:05:20.960 They just went and put what's called it makes you 0:05:20.960 --> 0:05:24.560 do puzzle laxatives in the thing. And then every kid 0:05:24.600 --> 0:05:27.400 over the next two days who showed up crook, shouldn't 0:05:27.400 --> 0:05:30.320 themselves silly, like, come a met we know you've been 0:05:30.520 --> 0:05:31.159 brewing the beer. 0:05:31.400 --> 0:05:34.240 That's a good long con from those matrons. 0:05:34.440 --> 0:05:35.000 Oh yeah, I know. 0:05:35.120 --> 0:05:35.720 It's great. 0:05:35.760 --> 0:05:38.080 Boarding schools basically like prison. You've got no time. 0:05:38.600 --> 0:05:40.600 You've got so much time to do nothing but sit 0:05:40.640 --> 0:05:41.840 there and think of dumb shit to do. 0:05:42.080 --> 0:05:44.000 Correct, We used to do fuck the bucket. 0:05:44.240 --> 0:05:45.120 What's fuck the bucket? 0:05:45.279 --> 0:05:47.039 You had to get climb on top of the bucket 0:05:47.080 --> 0:05:47.960 and pretend to fuck it. 0:05:48.800 --> 0:05:51.200 Okay, that's one of those things, you know, and how 0:05:51.240 --> 0:05:53.279 did anyone win in that situation? 0:05:53.480 --> 0:05:55.440 It was more it was artistic flair. It was a 0:05:55.440 --> 0:05:57.560 bit like rhythm rhythmic gymnastics. 0:05:57.560 --> 0:05:58.600 It was kind of back dancing. 0:05:59.000 --> 0:06:00.839 It was it was like but the bucket in the 0:06:00.839 --> 0:06:02.240 middle and you know, you've got to make the. 0:06:02.200 --> 0:06:04.960 Noises and then the judges are like and the judge 0:06:05.480 --> 0:06:10.039 from Hamilton ten correct, like the dunk contest. Yeah, yeah, 0:06:10.040 --> 0:06:12.520 I like it as an actual sport. The gut in 0:06:12.560 --> 0:06:15.159 the boat returned yesterday. It was a big you know, 0:06:15.160 --> 0:06:17.800 we're talking like we don't feell stadiums for our athletes. 0:06:17.880 --> 0:06:19.599 I don't think they'd like that. But there was a 0:06:19.600 --> 0:06:21.400 bit of like a you know, bit of a to 0:06:21.480 --> 0:06:22.360 do when they landed. 0:06:22.480 --> 0:06:25.640 Yeah, and that the at the airport there and the 0:06:25.680 --> 0:06:27.800 goat in the boat was asked whether she is going 0:06:27.839 --> 0:06:29.839 to commit to twenty twenty eight or not, and she 0:06:29.960 --> 0:06:33.000 said she's still not sure, which, you know, to me 0:06:33.160 --> 0:06:36.080 leaves the door open. I think if I was her, like, 0:06:36.200 --> 0:06:38.200 if it was next year, she'd probably be keen to 0:06:38.200 --> 0:06:40.799 do it. But I think it's like four years of training. 0:06:41.000 --> 0:06:41.240 Yeah. 0:06:41.240 --> 0:06:43.400 She did say that that three year cycle was a 0:06:43.440 --> 0:06:45.840 bit different because remember Tokyo was the labor a year. 0:06:45.920 --> 0:06:48.400 Oh yeah, so it's only been three years between Tokyo 0:06:48.600 --> 0:06:52.800 and Paris. Easier or harder, easier, a little bit easier 0:06:52.800 --> 0:06:55.200 because they're closer together. And that's why she said this 0:06:55.240 --> 0:06:58.200 is completely different, you know. But she's so far ahead 0:06:59.240 --> 0:07:02.680 of her competition. It's one of those things, are you like, 0:07:03.040 --> 0:07:05.120 do you do it and when another one? Or do 0:07:04.880 --> 0:07:08.159 you do you do it and miss out? You know? Yeah, 0:07:08.200 --> 0:07:10.480 I should have called it back in Paris. It's a 0:07:10.480 --> 0:07:12.240 tough one. But she's so far ahead and she's such 0:07:12.240 --> 0:07:16.960 a phenomenal specimen that it would be a shame for 0:07:17.040 --> 0:07:19.760 her to move to coaching or anything, and especially and 0:07:19.840 --> 0:07:22.720 she's she's pretty much in her prime still. She's what 0:07:22.960 --> 0:07:25.720 thirty five, I think, yeah, she'll be thirty nine when 0:07:25.720 --> 0:07:27.200 you hit hit La. 0:07:27.640 --> 0:07:30.600 How good we lab though Emma talks thirty seven. She's 0:07:30.640 --> 0:07:33.400 still destroying people in those boats. I reckon she could 0:07:33.400 --> 0:07:34.640 do it. It's just going to be whether she can 0:07:34.720 --> 0:07:37.400 be buggered for the next four years. So I thought, well, 0:07:37.400 --> 0:07:39.560 could we have a whip round, like as a country, 0:07:39.640 --> 0:07:40.320 do you think it's money? 0:07:40.320 --> 0:07:40.440 Though? 0:07:40.440 --> 0:07:41.840 I don't think it's I don't know if it's money. 0:07:41.880 --> 0:07:44.040 Oh well, I don't think it's money right now. But 0:07:44.240 --> 0:07:45.640 what I'm saying is, if we had a whip around, 0:07:45.840 --> 0:07:49.320 here's your incentive. Here's four million, five million dollars a year. Yeah, 0:07:49.360 --> 0:07:52.160 we're each going to give you a dollar a year. 0:07:52.200 --> 0:07:54.240 I'll tell you what. Just call lott of off on Saturday, 0:07:54.280 --> 0:07:56.520 give it a lot of Oh my god, yes, call 0:07:56.600 --> 0:07:58.440 the lot O. Give her all the lot of give 0:07:58.480 --> 0:08:00.480 her the winnings, and then we'll just do another on Wednesday. 0:08:00.600 --> 0:08:01.920 Yeah, I think with all a great and we'll start 0:08:01.920 --> 0:08:05.160 again on Wednesday. He go, you've won lotto. Would you 0:08:05.200 --> 0:08:07.160 look at that? Imagine if that was it. Like you 0:08:07.200 --> 0:08:10.160 know how they talk about NRL teams where you you're 0:08:10.200 --> 0:08:12.560 negotiating your deal and they're like, we can only pay 0:08:12.600 --> 0:08:14.320 you this, but here's twenty dollars. Go put it in 0:08:14.320 --> 0:08:16.320 that pokem machine over there, and then like one hundred 0:08:16.360 --> 0:08:17.600 thousand dollars falls out of it. 0:08:17.960 --> 0:08:19.720 Imagine if like New Zealand doesn't. 0:08:19.480 --> 0:08:21.680 Pay its athletes for gold medals, but boy have a 0:08:21.720 --> 0:08:24.360 high percentage then one lotter when they got back. It's 0:08:24.480 --> 0:08:27.680 almost every single one of them, week after week, week. 0:08:27.480 --> 0:08:28.920 After the week for ten weeks. 0:08:28.960 --> 0:08:31.040 Stra I can fin butcher ones next week. 0:08:31.480 --> 0:08:36.800 Can you believe it? All four of the men's canoeing team, well, 0:08:36.800 --> 0:08:39.800 what was it? The rowing team? Kayakers have one? 0:08:39.960 --> 0:08:41.680 Yeah, so can you fucking believe it? 0:08:42.040 --> 0:08:44.200 That's a much better idea than the idea that I had, 0:08:44.200 --> 0:08:48.880 which was Fukasani original goat Tex. So it's a percentage 0:08:48.880 --> 0:08:51.080 of your income if you live in the Fukasni region 0:08:51.480 --> 0:08:52.280 goes to the goat. 0:08:52.360 --> 0:08:54.480 Oh that's unfair that because she lives in the north Shore. 0:08:55.200 --> 0:08:57.040 Oh might have to be a north Shore. 0:08:56.920 --> 0:09:00.880 Tex north Shore regional go Tex. I think whereever she lives, 0:09:01.400 --> 0:09:03.000 there's a tax. I think you're going to be happy 0:09:03.000 --> 0:09:04.400 to pay it. She can't have a percentage of mind. 0:09:04.440 --> 0:09:05.440 They like poop pokey text. 0:09:05.440 --> 0:09:07.839 That's which because he trains on poop poockky oh right 0:09:08.040 --> 0:09:08.800 a poonit yep? 0:09:08.880 --> 0:09:12.080 Okay, Well yeah, the poop priginal goat tax and you 0:09:12.120 --> 0:09:14.560 get like a certain percentage of your pay goes to 0:09:14.600 --> 0:09:17.040 her every year. I wouldn't be against that, but I 0:09:17.080 --> 0:09:18.520 do like the lotto. 0:09:18.640 --> 0:09:21.120 Yeah, just so he's simpler, Just no one buy a ticket, 0:09:21.240 --> 0:09:22.320 Just give her the winning numbers. 0:09:22.360 --> 0:09:24.719 We're all in on it. We wouldn't even have to. 0:09:24.960 --> 0:09:26.520 Well, you just all have to come together as a 0:09:26.559 --> 0:09:28.160 country and be like, none of us are buying a 0:09:28.200 --> 0:09:31.560 lotto ticket, Lisa, it's all yours. Get down the diary, 0:09:31.760 --> 0:09:34.199 buy yourself a lot of ticket. I have a hunch 0:09:35.240 --> 0:09:37.600 I think you're gonna win. I think that's a great idea. 0:09:37.640 --> 0:09:39.439 I'm speaking of Olympic money. You've done a bit of 0:09:39.480 --> 0:09:41.960 a deep dive, we have. And I'll quote you an 0:09:42.000 --> 0:09:44.880 Olympic money report that will shock you to the core. 0:09:45.040 --> 0:09:46.719 Yeah, I don't think I'll shock you to the core. 0:09:46.800 --> 0:09:50.520 But Heath Mells, and he's on Cricket Players Association president, 0:09:50.840 --> 0:09:53.320 has weighed in and I'll explain why he's weighed in 0:09:53.440 --> 0:09:55.960 and when a cricket from a cricket perspective, but he's 0:09:55.960 --> 0:09:59.959 obviously a beg advocate for players' rights, you know, when 0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:02.440 comes to professional athletes and getting their slices of the pie. 0:10:02.760 --> 0:10:05.400 And he's written a great article on the Bounce. He's 0:10:05.400 --> 0:10:10.200 become a guest right contributor on the Bounce, and it's 0:10:10.559 --> 0:10:12.880 pretty it's pretty damning actually, And you can you're always 0:10:12.920 --> 0:10:14.360 kind of new in the back of your mind that 0:10:14.960 --> 0:10:17.400 things stink a little bit at the IOC. It's a 0:10:17.400 --> 0:10:19.200 bit like FIFA, you know what I mean. There's an 0:10:19.280 --> 0:10:21.439 organization that are making a lot of money off athletes, 0:10:21.440 --> 0:10:22.640 and athletes aren't getting anything. 0:10:22.679 --> 0:10:24.360 Oh it's the biggest, Yeah, And. 0:10:24.360 --> 0:10:26.560 Everyone kind of washes over that because they love the Olympics, 0:10:26.559 --> 0:10:29.360 because oh my god, that's a celebration of you know, 0:10:30.080 --> 0:10:33.840 athletes and world peace and fucking all that bullshit. So 0:10:34.320 --> 0:10:37.480 every Olympic cycle they said that this one especially that 0:10:37.640 --> 0:10:42.120 the Olympic IOC make seven point six billion US Okay, 0:10:42.120 --> 0:10:46.160 so that's about fifteen billion New Zealand dollars, you know, 0:10:46.200 --> 0:10:48.440 and that's for all the commercial revenue they get from 0:10:48.600 --> 0:10:52.000 sponsors and world cast rights, everything like that. And as 0:10:52.000 --> 0:10:54.439 you probably know, if you don't know, the athletes get zero, 0:10:55.160 --> 0:10:59.160 absolutely zero. When you talk about athletes getting from Australia 0:10:59.160 --> 0:11:01.200 getting one hundred fift thousand dollars if they win gold 0:11:01.280 --> 0:11:03.960 or whatever it is that comes from the government. That 0:11:04.040 --> 0:11:06.480 comes from the taxpayers, that is not from the IOC. 0:11:08.000 --> 0:11:11.280 The host city. All that cost sits with your rate 0:11:11.360 --> 0:11:13.760 payers of that city. So the Parisians will be paying. 0:11:13.520 --> 0:11:16.079 Back that the two billions to clean the sin, correct 0:11:16.520 --> 0:11:17.040 clean the sin. 0:11:17.120 --> 0:11:19.280 They're paying that back over the next fifty years or whatever, 0:11:19.400 --> 0:11:24.360 IOC pick up zero of that bill. And they always 0:11:24.400 --> 0:11:26.320 talk about the spirit of the games and the spirit 0:11:26.360 --> 0:11:28.640 of the sport and all that bullshit, and it they 0:11:28.679 --> 0:11:32.320 don't actually pay a cent. So it's quite it's an 0:11:32.360 --> 0:11:37.680 interesting model, which he argues here he says, if Love 0:11:37.679 --> 0:11:40.320 Island could be turned into an international competition, the IOC 0:11:40.440 --> 0:11:45.560 would include it because that's their motivation for introducing everything. 0:11:45.640 --> 0:11:51.000 Introduce skateboarding, not for a new audience, for new revenue. 0:11:51.760 --> 0:11:53.240 It's a new revenue opportunity. 0:11:53.600 --> 0:11:53.920 Yeah. 0:11:53.960 --> 0:11:55.960 So that's why they've been breakdownce because no one's going 0:11:56.000 --> 0:11:57.079 to watch that shit at the next one. 0:11:57.160 --> 0:11:57.880 Yeah. Correct. 0:11:57.920 --> 0:12:01.880 And so basically he was saying, in what other industry're 0:12:01.920 --> 0:12:03.920 sector would get away with asking people to work for 0:12:03.960 --> 0:12:07.520 two weeks, sell the fruits of their labor, and not 0:12:07.520 --> 0:12:11.520 get paid a cent radio it would be the other 0:12:11.520 --> 0:12:15.400 one that I agree with this If they're truly into 0:12:15.440 --> 0:12:18.400 the spirit of the sport and don't pay the athletes, 0:12:18.440 --> 0:12:21.520 then don't commercialize it and offer the rights the TV 0:12:21.679 --> 0:12:24.440 rights for free to every national broadcaster in the world 0:12:24.880 --> 0:12:27.240 and watch the interest in those sports go through the roof. 0:12:27.280 --> 0:12:29.640 But they don't obviously, because they can't clip the ticket 0:12:29.679 --> 0:12:29.920 on there. 0:12:30.000 --> 0:12:31.959 They want the money, or at least. 0:12:31.559 --> 0:12:33.000 The athletes get sponsored. 0:12:33.640 --> 0:12:35.840 Yeah, well, I mean come out and sponsored. 0:12:37.280 --> 0:12:40.559 Did you see nonsense rupt but definitely to interrupt. Did 0:12:40.559 --> 0:12:43.280 you see the guy athletes that were wearing full black kit? 0:12:43.600 --> 0:12:45.960 So there was It's like a brand. 0:12:46.000 --> 0:12:47.559 So if you're an athlete and you don't get a 0:12:47.600 --> 0:12:50.760 sponsorship from Essex or whatever, you often have to wear 0:12:50.760 --> 0:12:52.800 their shit anyway because it's the best gear. And so 0:12:52.840 --> 0:12:55.240 if you win a medal, you're basically giving them free 0:12:55.240 --> 0:12:57.760 promotion for nothing. So this brand said, we'll bug at that. 0:12:57.800 --> 0:12:59.640 If you don't get sponsored, will sponsor you, will pay 0:12:59.679 --> 0:13:01.520 you bug all. We'll pay you a little bit though, 0:13:01.600 --> 0:13:03.640 and you can just wear a non branded kit, which 0:13:03.679 --> 0:13:06.040 is also an advertisement for hey, I don't have a sponsor. 0:13:06.160 --> 0:13:08.480 Yeah, so if I win this, sponsor me. It's like 0:13:08.520 --> 0:13:11.760 a cricket cricketers without the stickers on their back exactly like, hey, 0:13:11.800 --> 0:13:14.400 I need a sponsor. But there was an Australian survey 0:13:15.240 --> 0:13:17.840 by the Sports Foundation. They found that forty six percent 0:13:17.920 --> 0:13:22.400 of athletes survived off less than fifteen thousand dollars a year. 0:13:22.960 --> 0:13:26.080 Jesus and forty two percent obviously suffered poor mental health 0:13:26.120 --> 0:13:28.600 due to the financial difficulties. And then you've got the 0:13:28.640 --> 0:13:32.080 IOC fat cats and this will this will piss you off. 0:13:32.679 --> 0:13:36.240 So IAC members they travel first class to all the events, 0:13:36.240 --> 0:13:38.920 they go to Paris first class, they stand five star hotels. 0:13:39.200 --> 0:13:42.760 They get nine hundred US a day per diems. That's 0:13:42.800 --> 0:13:46.080 just to spend on, you know, fifteen hundred whatever they want. 0:13:46.240 --> 0:13:48.240 Now by the end of the Olympics. That means that 0:13:48.320 --> 0:13:51.640 they are not for doing absolutely nothing except just going 0:13:51.679 --> 0:13:53.960 to events, get paid more than a US athlete for 0:13:54.040 --> 0:13:56.880 winning bronze at the Olympics, which is fifteen thousand US. 0:13:57.160 --> 0:13:57.400 Thank it. 0:13:57.480 --> 0:14:00.000 But yeah, by the way, and that's the US government 0:14:00.200 --> 0:14:02.640 paying the International Olympic Think a boy an iPhone a 0:14:02.720 --> 0:14:03.680 day with their per dams. 0:14:04.000 --> 0:14:06.000 I know, it's crazy. And and then I mean, and 0:14:06.040 --> 0:14:08.920 this is why Heath Mills has wayd into this debate, 0:14:09.000 --> 0:14:12.960 because cricket has been included in the LA Games. And 0:14:13.000 --> 0:14:15.640 there's only one reason cricket has been included in. 0:14:15.600 --> 0:14:17.160 That, so that India can win to go medal. 0:14:17.640 --> 0:14:20.080 That too, but the amount of obviously it's they looked 0:14:20.080 --> 0:14:22.680 at how much money there is in India Yeah, by 0:14:22.680 --> 0:14:25.360 then putting it there and the broadcast rights they can 0:14:25.400 --> 0:14:28.320 sell from there, and are any of the cricket is 0:14:28.320 --> 0:14:30.160 going to get any money? Are any of the association 0:14:30.280 --> 0:14:31.520 is going to get any money out of the bag 0:14:31.520 --> 0:14:34.440 of that fucking zero? So that's why he's saying that, 0:14:35.520 --> 0:14:38.760 you know, is it good for the game? He's like probably, No, 0:14:39.440 --> 0:14:42.280 he's saying no, like that. They said it's additional exposure. 0:14:42.360 --> 0:14:45.800 So I don't think that model has worked in any sport, 0:14:46.600 --> 0:14:49.400 professional sport anyway. Have you seen soccer? You've seen football 0:14:49.440 --> 0:14:50.920 explode due to being in the Olympics. 0:14:51.040 --> 0:14:53.560 No, I haven't jumped in a kayak, despite crying every 0:14:53.560 --> 0:14:54.440 time Lisa does. 0:14:55.680 --> 0:14:58.080 Anyway that Yeah, I thought that just opened that up. 0:14:58.080 --> 0:15:00.000 Now we'll have finished that now the after glow's gone 0:15:00.000 --> 0:15:02.680 on the Olympics. Yeah, it's like I'm trying to understand 0:15:02.680 --> 0:15:04.200 where all that money actually goes. 0:15:04.240 --> 0:15:06.440 Oh, it's the biggest like scam. 0:15:06.800 --> 0:15:08.440 And they're like, oh, it's really really good for you, 0:15:08.560 --> 0:15:10.640 Like yeah, and we love it and it is great 0:15:10.800 --> 0:15:12.240 advertisement for each back countries. 0:15:12.280 --> 0:15:14.000 But you're right, so it's not. 0:15:14.360 --> 0:15:16.720 But it is a great equalizer because all of the 0:15:16.760 --> 0:15:19.920 communist countries get to dominate at sports that no one watches. True, 0:15:19.920 --> 0:15:23.120 your weightliftings and your wrestlings and things like that, because 0:15:23.440 --> 0:15:25.840 all the Western countries, the only sports that work for 0:15:25.920 --> 0:15:27.120 us are the ones that people watch. 0:15:27.200 --> 0:15:28.440 That's why we kick as at them. 0:15:28.600 --> 0:15:32.760 Here's a question for you, who will the West Indies 0:15:32.800 --> 0:15:36.680 compete at cricket at the Olympics or will Dominica and 0:15:36.720 --> 0:15:38.680 Saint Lucia and all those dudes have to compete? 0:15:38.760 --> 0:15:41.640 Great question because the debate now is do England and 0:15:41.720 --> 0:15:46.640 Scotland combine to play as Great Britain and because they 0:15:46.800 --> 0:15:50.240 plays Great Britain but in cricket they're all separate. There 0:15:49.760 --> 0:15:52.080 is English it might. 0:15:51.960 --> 0:15:53.720 As well be Great Britain though, because like. 0:15:53.800 --> 0:15:55.320 They're not going to know any Scottish players going to 0:15:55.360 --> 0:15:57.600 get there. Yeah, because the England team, believe it or not, 0:15:57.800 --> 0:16:01.400 is England and Wales, so it's the d and Welsh board. 0:16:01.840 --> 0:16:03.480 So not many people know that because when we were 0:16:03.480 --> 0:16:06.360 in England and you're at the games and they're singing 0:16:06.360 --> 0:16:09.800 away and they're like Ingerland and we had a crowd. 0:16:09.800 --> 0:16:11.520 We had about thirty of us and at the end 0:16:11.560 --> 0:16:14.320 of it they get Angerland and we're all stand up 0:16:14.360 --> 0:16:15.520 and go and Wales. 0:16:16.960 --> 0:16:18.320 I haven't no idea. 0:16:18.440 --> 0:16:20.320 Yes, so there you go. Oh look there is the 0:16:20.600 --> 0:16:24.640 IOC do make like these sports grant payments to countries, 0:16:24.880 --> 0:16:27.520 but it's pretty fucking token. It's like compared to the 0:16:27.560 --> 0:16:30.320 revenue that comes in. It's all just about the coin. 0:16:30.440 --> 0:16:32.440 But I'm just running where the coin goes because these 0:16:32.480 --> 0:16:35.440 athletes come. Some of the biggest athletes in the world. 0:16:35.520 --> 0:16:39.080 Lebron James get a cent from going to Paris. They've 0:16:39.120 --> 0:16:41.600 got an ill fitting suit and a gold medal. Yeah, sure, 0:16:41.760 --> 0:16:44.040 pair of pants, Scotti Scheffler same. 0:16:44.800 --> 0:16:46.040 Like that is a good point. 0:16:46.160 --> 0:16:47.720 I know they play for pride and they cry when 0:16:47.720 --> 0:16:49.320 they get the medal and shit like that, but you know, 0:16:49.320 --> 0:16:51.840 you represent your country. But yeah, at the end of 0:16:51.880 --> 0:16:53.440
