Speaker 3: week for running the unlimited ad free Olympics coverage.

14
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:36,600
Speaker 1: Great.

15
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:38,400
Speaker 3: I love getting in front of the TV and not

16
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:41,159
Speaker 3: having to think one ounce of energy on what we're

17
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 3: going to watch.

18
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:43,520
Speaker 1: It because every night it's a battle. It isn't my house.

19
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:45,960
Speaker 2: We've got the teenager what she wants to watch, and

20
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,159
Speaker 2: then it's my wife, and then it's me, and it's

21
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:51,279
Speaker 2: it's so stressful. Oh no, we always watch that. Well,

22
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 2: when't we watch your show? While we got to watch

23
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 2: your show and your tease gone cold?

24
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 3: And I also get overwhelmed with starting a new show.

25
00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 3: It's like, what are we getting ourselves into? How many

26
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 3: hours are we committing to our upcoming future weeks by starting.

27
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 2: At She's still worried about that clock, the Knox clock,

28
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 2: and when's that creep going to come back?

29
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:09,680
Speaker 3: So sitting down and watching the Olympics every night has

30
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 3: been a godsend for us. My highlights over the last

31
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:18,680
Speaker 3: two weeks, Sayasaki Gabbara on the BMX. On Friday night,

32
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:21,479
Speaker 3: when I was watching the replay of the sixty minutes

33
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:24,680
Speaker 3: interview with her, I jumped onto her Instagram page and

34
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 3: started following her at sixty thousand followers, She's up to

35
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 3: one hundred and twenty four thousand followers after that Saturday morning.

36
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 1: Where she won.

37
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 2: She's going to be a huge star. She's so likable

38
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:36,759
Speaker 2: and charismatics, such a brother Kai.

39
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 3: And then I watched again Nina Kennedy's pole vol achievement

40
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:44,039
Speaker 3: yesterday and watched this clip of her. I think we

41
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 3: sometimes take for granted that not all athletes are able

42
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 3: to support themselves between Olympics just by competing in their events.

43
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 3: So she can't hold pole vol as a full time job.

44
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 3: So she said she had to choose between well do

45
00:01:58,160 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 3: I go and get a job and then do this

46
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 3: part time, or do I live on a shoe string

47
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 3: so that I can put the proper training into being

48
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 3: to train and win this gold medal. So she put

49
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 3: all her eggs in one basket, which was I'm going

50
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,360
Speaker 3: to live frugally and then try to win this gold

51
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 3: medal and if it doesn't work, I really got nothing

52
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 3: to fall back on. And now she's done it.

53
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:19,080
Speaker 1: It was incredible.

54
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 2: Of all the reactions to people winning gold, her reaction,

55
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 2: you got it. Yes, you could see she It wasn't

56
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 2: that she was shocked. She kept sort of having any

57
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 2: awareness that I've done it.

58
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 1: I've done it. I've done it.

59
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 2: And I guess in her mind's eye, she's going back

60
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 2: to all that dedication, as is it going.

61
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:39,399
Speaker 3: To pay focused for four years in a row.

62
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 1: Now it's amazing.

63
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,399
Speaker 2: So there's all these highlights and there's still another three

64
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 2: days left and then the amazing closing ceremony that does involve.

65
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 1: Have you heard about what Tom Cruise has done. I

66
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 1: know he's doing something is incredible.

67
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,639
Speaker 2: So he's already recorded his bit. She remember the closing ceremony.

68
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,639
Speaker 2: They always do something to hand over to the next Olympics.

69
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 2: The next Olympics before his time is going to be

70
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,799
Speaker 2: an al a. Tom Cruise came up with this idea,

71
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,359
Speaker 2: filmed it himself, stars it himself in a very dynamic

72
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,920
Speaker 2: Tom Cruise way. But if anyone embodies the spirit of

73
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 2: La and Hollywood, it's Tom Cruise. He's jumping off the

74
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 2: abseled down the Stad Defrance himself and he takes the

75
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 2: flag and then he flies over to Hollywood and he

76
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 2: parachutes onto the Hollywood Sign perfect.

77
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:24,800
Speaker 1: I cannot wait to see that. Apparently he was saying

78
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 1: he no one would insure.

79
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 2: Him because he's incredibly dangerous to abseil down it. And

80
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 2: it's because he's obviously a high profile act as well.

81
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 2: He put I think he put his own deposit of

82
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 2: ten million to ensure himself to do this crazy stunt.

83
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 1: And also he is getting on a bit.

84
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 2: You know, he's not a professional climb or abseller, but

85
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 2: he's repelled down the Stat de France in Paris.

86
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 1: I cannot wait to see that.

87
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 3: Olympics is going to be amazing in four years time.

88
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 1: And then good luck Brisbane.

89
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 2: I mean, what are they going to have Barnsy picking

90
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 2: up the flag singing on.

91
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 1: Top of the four X brewery, I mean Brisbane.

92
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 2: The pressure is going to be on because Powiss look stunning,

93
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 2: and then you go Laill look wonderful, and then you

94
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 2: go Brisbane.

95
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 1: How many bridges did that place? Got? All?

96
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 2: Right?

97
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:12,160

Speaker 2: She went on to do it ten times because obviously

105
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 2: the camera work these days looks stunning. You watch it

106
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 2: on your TV for the hour and a half of

107
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,839

Speaker 2: minutes of this. You are transfixed with it. It looks

113
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,719
Speaker 2: visually stunning. There's something about the way it's filmed in

114
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:03,160
Speaker 2: four K and what it looks like on a TV,

115
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,840
