46
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:23,440

47
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,239

00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 2: so it's the end of today. But what's coming up

51
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 2: during the next twenty four hours? And what a lovely

52
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:42,360
Speaker 2: time of the day to start doing another cross as well?

53
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 2: To a radio station in Australia, is ten thirty in

54
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 2: the evening as you're getting ready for bed.

55
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 4: More like eleven thirty, But that's fine. Who's counting. We're tomorrow.

56
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:57,679
Speaker 4: We've got women's javelin qualifying. We've got the gold medal hope.

57
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 4: I believe McKenzie would ale in that, So she gets

58
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 4: underway tomorrow, so does man's high jump. And in the

59
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 4: evening we've got gold medals up for grabs to Matt

60
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 4: Denny in the discus and Nina Kennedy in the poll bot.

61
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 1: Now, Jackie boy, you know Matt Denny you played golf.

62
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 3: I played one round of golf with Matt Denny Knightholser,

63
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:14,920
Speaker 3: not even a full round, but I could tell just

64
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 3: by the way he swung the club that he knew

65
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:20,519
Speaker 3: something about moving an object around his body like he will.

66
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 1: And he goes got a golf swing. There's a three

67
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 1: to sixteen. He just rotates in the pain.

68
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 4: He can hit a long ball, can't he, Jackie.

69
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,359
Speaker 3: He actually used to do long drive competitions, did he really?

70
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 3: Before he started playing golf proper.

71
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 1: So you think he's a gold medal contender.

72
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 4: He is. And he's also got a putting green in

73
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 4: his in his dorm, so he's putting between throwing the disc.

74
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 3: Where everyone else is complaining about not even able to

75
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 3: sleep on beds out of Cardboardy he built a putting

76
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 3: green in his room.

77
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 1: I feel sorry for whoever he's sharing with.

78
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 2: Please I need I'm competing at six am.

79
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 4: And he's sharing with Brannon Stark is high jumping to Mirow,

80
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 4: So they're both on the same days, so they're probably

81
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 4: just just a bit of a pre match warm up

82
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 4: on the putting green. It'd be nice for both of them.

83
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 1: Now, Steve, does that right? Is that right? Do a

84
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 1: lot of the athletes share rooms together?

85
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 2: Do they have to because obviously there's so many athletes

86
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 2: there from around the world, they've.

87
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 1: Got to share.

88
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's pretty common, and you'll often get someone that

89
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 4: you click with and that you love to share a

90
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 4: room with and your personalities match and you compliment each other,

91
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 4: and you know what can be a pretty intense situation.

92
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:27,239
Speaker 4: So yeah, Matt, Matt, Denny and Brandon stuff the high jumper.

93
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:31,359
Speaker 4: They regularly share together and in fact I believe their

94
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 4: wives both have an Airbnb and they're sharing together outside

95
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:35,679
Speaker 4: the village.

96
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 3: No proper non cardboard bed, Steve, who is your roommate?

97
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 1: Were at the Olympics?

98
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,559
Speaker 4: I was very lucky accident. I've roomed with my best

99
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 4: mate Brendan Cole. We went away, I had first team

100
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 4: together in high school. Were really good mates and then

101
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 4: he made his personal big team where he was thirty

102
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 4: one in London in twenty twelve and we got the

103
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 4: room together at that composition. We had a good time.

104
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:03,599
Speaker 1: Ah, how amazing. Now I know you're a Blues fan.

105
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 2: Did you have you managed to find somewhere in Paris

106
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,280
Speaker 2: week and watch the footy? Did you find a bar

107
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 2: with the time diment so you can see how the

108
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 2: Blue's gone on the weekend.

109
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:14,720
Speaker 4: I've been watching the Blues for a few weeks, just

110
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 4: following the app and following the scoreworm, which is a

111
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 4: pretty stressful way to watch for to.

112
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 3: Be honest, Steve Is this true? I told Andy Lee

113
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 3: that we had you on the show this week, and

114
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,280
Speaker 3: he said, at one stage, you were trying to write

115
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 3: a new blues theme Songause.

116
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, I've had to go. I've tried to rewrite. I

117
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 4: guess that's why they caught the Blues too. I guess

118
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:40,040
Speaker 4: it's already followed the Blues attributed to you.

119
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:43,159
Speaker 2: Wait finals, will we will pay for you to go

120
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:45,279
Speaker 2: into a studio and sing that?

121
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 3: How fun did you write all the lyrics? Have you

122
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:49,359
Speaker 3: recorded it somewhere?

123
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 4: I've actually done sort of a couple of different versions

124
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 4: of it. I did one tribute to the twenty twenty

125
