1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,280
Speaker 1: Darcy water Grave Sports talk hoosters with us.

2
00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:05,519
Speaker 2: You know that's what I call my mullet day, Carl.

3
00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:08,719
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, we don't know this, although I will say

4
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:11,840
Speaker 1: happy days. You haven't been sporting that mullet for I

5
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:13,039
Speaker 1: reckon about four months?

6
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:16,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, no, gone, I got a regular shortback in

7
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:20,000
Speaker 2: side number one too marginally high, do you think so?

8
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:21,800
Speaker 1: Yeah? It is a special Is it because you have

9
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:22,800
Speaker 1: a girlfriend.

10
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 2: And I'm shaving regularly? Yeah?

11
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:25,600
Speaker 1: Is it because you have a girlfriend.

12
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:27,520
Speaker 2: No, no, it's not. It's because my mullet normally came

13
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 2: from a place of rage, and I'm not so angry anymore,

14
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 2: so I don't have to have this haircut that seas

15
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:32,360
Speaker 2: you get away from me.

16
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 1: Because you have a girlfriend.

17
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:35,080
Speaker 2: You just carry on with that.

18
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:37,880
Speaker 1: I think it's the lady influence in your life. Now.

19
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 1: I would have thought that Zoe would be a little

20
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 1: disappointed with silver instead of gold on this one.

21
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 2: They're not really prone to disappointment on the outside, are

22
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 2: they not? Really? These athletes, thee snow athletes and I

23
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 2: had a really good look at that run, and far

24
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 2: be it for me to say I'm an expert in this,

25
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 2: But on the on the third rail, asceni that she

26
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 2: had didn't quite get to the end of the rail,

27
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:04,959
Speaker 2: dropped off slightly early and she dropped out here to

28
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:07,959
Speaker 2: go front side, lipside pretzel two seventy out and it

29
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 2: didn't quite look right. And I looked at before she

30
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 2: hit the big ones, the tank and everything else. I thought,

31
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 2: I wonder if that's going to cost her gold point

32
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:19,759
Speaker 2: three to five. It probably did, because her last three

33
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,480
Speaker 2: jumps were outstanding. The rest the rails up with that

34
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 2: third rail not quite right at the end there was

35
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 2: the wei and that's point three to five. Maybe it is.

36
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 2: But she's got five medals now in Winter Olympics. First

37
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 2: snowboard in the Winter Olympics to actually get a quad

38
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 2: of medals. So it's an astonishing record. And she's sitting

39
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 2: up equal with Mark Todd who rides a horse and

40
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 2: the canoe is McDonald and Ferguson with the most Olympic medals.

41
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 2: She's sitting at five. Now they're calling it a mountain goat.

42
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 2: What's another name for a mountain goat? A tar? Right,

43
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 2: So she's the tar because the real goat, the goat

44
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 2: and the boat. She's up at nine medals, so she's

45
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 2: way at the front orders donishing astonishing career so far,

46
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:09,640
Speaker 2: she's only eight years into it. That mountain that wasn't mine,

47
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 2: I heard it from someone else, all right.

48
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:14,639
Speaker 1: So Billy Stalmon's got a wild card to play and

49
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 1: it's a coming on the surfing event waves.

50
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 2: To play in the sea. It's like people wise play games.

51
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:24,520
Speaker 2: That's the big difference about fight sports and every other sport.

52
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 2: You don't play boxing, you know, you don't play UFC.

53
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:32,080
Speaker 2: But yeah, he's been given the heads up. He's a

54
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 2: nine time national champ. Billy Stammon calls himself the Hobbit

55
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:38,959
Speaker 2: because he's only a liquor feller. But it's at home

56
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,800
Speaker 2: and the World Surf League. He's got the wild card

57
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 2: his home turf, if you can call it that. His

58
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,959
Speaker 2: home sea is home water in Raglan and that's may

59
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:51,080
Speaker 2: that championship tour turns up, and that is going to

60
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 2: be outstanding. They've got that very rare left hand break,

61
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,799
Speaker 2: which is what World Surf were after. It's very consistent.

62
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 2: I remember the Big Crew came out probably twenty years

63
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 2: ago now for a thing called the Vodafone Surf Sessions.

64
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 2: It once they're all out of pe Ha in the

65
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 2: first day. All these great surfers are out there going hard.

66
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 2: I mean we're talking superstars. And after about or no

67
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 2: an hour and a half, they all came in and

68
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 2: they said, MANE had he ride out there. It's like

69
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 2: a concrete mixer. They refused to go back so Raglan.

70
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 2: It was so intense as we know pha can get.

71
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 2: And they went out there and gave it their best,

72
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 2: but it wasn't quite Devisia. Hopefully Raglar we better, I

73
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 2: know it would have been. It's that consistent break. So

74
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 2: this is great news for the Billy stee.

75
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 1: Is that is that wildcard completely random? Or is it

76
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 1: because it's his home area?

77
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 2: I don't know. I'd say it probably because he's a

78
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 2: New Zealand rider. Yeah, and Zeland.

79
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 1: Surfer well against the local interest up, don't they?

80
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 2: Well, well there'd be local interest there. You know. There

81
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 2: are a lot of wax heads in this place, there

82
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:54,839
Speaker 2: really are, and they will be out there going. Yeah.

83
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 2: I just feel sorry for the road between Raglan and

84
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 2: everything else. That will be traitorous. Is there still a

85
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 2: road there or to fall over?

86
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:07,200
