Speaker 2: the young, the youth, the TikTok is off their screens,

15

16
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 2: reels at the Olympics. Five reels, five reels the Olympic reels,

17
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 2: the original reels. Five new sports going into the next Games,

00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 2: which is going to be in LA in twenty twenty eight.

19
00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, just to announce it overnight that five new sports

20
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:06,199
Speaker 3: be going into the Los Angeles Olympics. Cricket, squash, baseball, lacrosse,

21
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 3: and something called flag football.

22
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:09,760
Speaker 1: Al R, let's have listened to this.

23
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 4: Cricket is officially an Olympic sport again, with its return

24
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 4: ratified by the IOC, along with flag, football, softball, baseball,

25
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:22,400
Speaker 4: lacrosse and squash.

26
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:27,679
Speaker 2: Okay, let's break that down, right. Squash great game to play? Right,

27
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 2: great game to play? Is it up there with the

28
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 2: original kind of ethos of before the Olympics. I think

29
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 2: they called the pank creationists. They believe that they wanted

30
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 2: to find out who were the fastest, strongest, who could

31
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,039
Speaker 2: throw something the furthest.

32
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 1: Squash it doesn't to me.

33
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 2: It's not like the one hundred meters is it's it's

34
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 2: not the shot put. It's mainly middle aged guys my

35
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 2: age and those little classes.

36
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 3: I was going to say, it feels a bit retireing it.

37
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 1: It's a middle age to make out.

38
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 5: Malcolm Oh, Elvis played squash. He had a squash court news.

39
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 1: They're not dead on a bog.

40
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 5: Oh No, it's very aerobic.

41
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 1: An athletic almost never plays squash.

42
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,079
Speaker 2: See that guy in the locker room getting ready in

43
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:11,080
Speaker 2: those shorts, mind you those glasses in about those vegas ones.

44
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 1: Much squashes would be a boring.

45
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 2: Game to watch at the Olympicski squash Is it even

46
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 2: available to watch?

47
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 1: Any of the sports platforms like KO.

48
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 3: Actually have seen when they play squash in a professional level.

49
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:26,800
Speaker 3: They it's completely glass.

50
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 5: That's what I love about.

51
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 2: We'll get careful, Andy Lea be calling them up. I've

52
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:35,639
Speaker 2: still got the cub in my lock up. I can

53
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 2: bring it to Paris.

54
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 1: Do we want that?

55
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 2: I'm not sure we do? Does all right? So squash?

56
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,119
Speaker 1: What with it? What's flag football? Now?

57
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 3: This is the one that I have a problem with.

58
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 3: Flag football. We played a version of this in primary school,

59
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 3: which essentially, instead of tackling, you have to rip a

60
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 3: valcro strap off somebody's belt. Oh come on, it's like

61
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 3: a watered down kids version of football.

62
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 5: Like British Bulldog? Is it the same thing?

63
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 6: Was?

64
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 2: I mean that was Olympics were kids who used to love.

65
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,639
Speaker 1: Highlight of a lunch break was British Bulldog.

66
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,919
Speaker 3: That was proper tackling. What they're introducing here because it's

67
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 3: in LA, They've gone, well, let's do American football but

68
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 3: instead of tackling, you just have to rip the flag

69
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 3: off their belt.

70
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:24,640
Speaker 1: But that is just so watered down, a little kids

71
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 1: version of the game. And the Olympics.

72
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 2: You can have boxing, you can have tyekwondo, judo wrestling

73
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 2: where people are taking each other all at combat. No, no,

74
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what though, what because that is basically

75
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 2: it's a kids game. It's a safe version of British bulldog.

76
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 2: This morning, tell us them what school games did you

77
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 2: used to play that we think would make great proper

78
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 2: Olympic sports. Bulldog would make an international bulldog were teams

79
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 2: from around the globe taking each other on in an

80
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 2: ultimate game like that.

81
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 3: It's funny that you actually call it bulldog because at

82
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 3: our private school is called British Bulldog.

83
00:03:58,440 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 1: It was called British Bulldog.

84
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 3: It's probably just called bulldogs.

85
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 2: That's the way the empire. This is how we took

86
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 2: over the world. We challenged countries on indied to bulldog.

87
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 3: We had a watered down version of British Bulldog called Octopussy,

88
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 3: which was the same. You have to get one once.

89
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 1: I told you before. We don't need to hear about

90
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 1: your tedicles. Chat. I don't care if it was a

91
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 1: different time.

92
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 3: How did that one Instead of tackling when you got caught, No,

93
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 3: you sat cross legged on the ground and you could

94
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 3: use your arms as to check it out other people.

95
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,600
Speaker 1: Oh no, I've been tapped.

96
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 5: Oh no, they banned it in our school because too

97
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 5: many kids were getting injured and broken legs and bruised blacks.

98
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 1: Evolution, You know, sometimes you got to let those people go.

99
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:41,720
Speaker 3: I say, a competitive version of fourth Square. I'd love

100
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:42,479
Speaker 3: to say, did you have that?

101
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: Yes?

102
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 2: Yes, that's a great idea. Yes, all right, So what

103
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 2: school games we went? Great Olympic sports?

104
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 1: The Christian O'Connell show podcast.

00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:55,359
Speaker 2: Five in sports have been inducted into the Olympics for

106
00:04:55,560 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 2: twenty twenty eight in LA, including squash and something called

107
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:05,159
Speaker 2: flag football, which is basically American football without tackling the

108
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 2: interesting bit and simply spilling what like a bar towel

109
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 2: at their back pocket.

110
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 1: Is that it basically how.

111
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 3: We paid at the schools. You had this little belt

112
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 3: with two valcro straps off the side, and when a

113
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:17,480
Speaker 3: strap got ripped off, that was calendar's a tackle.

114
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 2: So we're asking this morning what school games would make

115
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 2: great future Olympic sports. Judging roll the tex and calls

116
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 2: are coming in, you can certainly grade what level of

117
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 2: school some people went to. But just a rio who

118
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:36,240

Speaker 2: How are you. I'm good, Harry. So, what a playground

125
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 2: school game would make a great Olympic sport?

126
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:58,279
Speaker 1: You reckon, Harry, I reckon.

127
00:05:58,520 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 5: It's a great spectator sport.

129
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:09,360

00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:11,200

131
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 2: There, Harry, great, great game, but dodgeball.

132
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 6: Right, we broke the teacher's nose a few.

133
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 1: A few times.

134
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 6: Shop was a good good sports, good game.

135
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 1: Get you absolutely all right, Harry.

136
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 2: That's a good idea. Thank you so much for calling in, Harry.

137
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:43,040
Speaker 2: Hopefully the I o C are listening to that advocate. There,

138
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 2: let's go to Caroline. Now, come on, Caroline. Good morning,

139
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 2: all right, Caroline, listen, welcome to the show. What's a

140
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:52,479
Speaker 2: school game you can make a great Olympic sport?

141
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:54,040
Speaker 6: I think elastics.

142
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,040
Speaker 1: Take me through elastics, remind me of that.

143
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 6: There's lots of different level that you have to achieve

144
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:05,280
Speaker 6: to actually, you know, win, and I think it'd be

145
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 6: a great spectator sport.

146
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 1: Too explain it.

147
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 3: There was two people on either side with a big

148
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 3: elastic band that ran around both their legs. Is that elastics?

149
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 6: That's the one, And you've got your start at the ankles,

150
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 6: and you move up to the knees, the hips, under arms,

151
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 6: and above the head over the elastics.

152
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 5: You'd get your mom to get a thin bit of

153
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 5: elastic and you'd get her to sew it. And it

154
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 5: had to be big enough so that you and a

155
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 5: mate would stand like a meter apart and have it

156
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 5: start with it around your ankles and you jump over it,

157
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 5: wouldn't you? And there'd be rhymes were something like inside

158
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 5: outside monkey's tails or something we used to sing.

159
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:50,239
Speaker 2: I think that's witchcraft school. You went to inside outside monkeys.

160
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:53,520
