1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:04,120
Speaker 1: Already and this is the daily This is the daily.

2
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:15,960
Speaker 1: Ohs oh, now it makes sense. Good morning, and welcome

3
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:18,480
Speaker 1: to the Daily OS. It's Friday, the twentieth of December.

4
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:22,000
Speaker 1: I'm Billy, I'm Zara Zara. Today is our last day

5
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:22,720
Speaker 1: in the office.

6
00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:26,640
Speaker 2: Cannot believe it. What a year it's been. We do, though,

7
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:28,560
Speaker 2: I need to say at the top, have a summer

8
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:31,400
Speaker 2: series coming, So this isn't the last that you will

9
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:34,199
Speaker 2: hear Billy and I in your ears. Sadly, if that's

10
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:36,960
Speaker 2: what you wanted, we will have those episodes over the

11
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:39,559
Speaker 2: coming weeks. But today we are wrapping up the year

12
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:42,240
Speaker 2: that was. As we look back on twenty twenty four,

13
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:42,960
Speaker 2: it will.

14
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:45,920
Speaker 1: Be a very good series. Just quickly. You're saying, cannot

15
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 1: believe it. Do you think anyone ever gets to the

16
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 1: end of the year and goes I can believe that

17
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:51,479
Speaker 1: it's been a long year.

18
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 2: I think well, I think when we're younger, time goes slower.

19
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 2: We have had this conversation. Time goes slower, and so

20
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 2: perhaps you reach the end of the year and you're like, oh, okay,

21
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 2: that was a roundred and sixty five days.

22
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 1: Great time goes so fast when you're older.

23
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:06,680
Speaker 2: It feels like genuinely yesterday that Sam and I sat

24
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:08,959
Speaker 2: in this room made our predictions for twenty twenty four

25
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 2: and here we are.

26
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:12,760
Speaker 1: And we'll get into them because I hear you were

27
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 1: quite Acuratezara, So I'm glad you've been able to sneak

28
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 1: that in early on too. Okay, So on today's podcast,

29
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 1: we are going to reflect on what a big year

30
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 1: it has been in the news. The Daily Os has

31
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:26,960
Speaker 1: been there every step of the way breaking it down

32
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 1: for you, and today we just want to look at

33
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 1: all of the biggest moments from politics to pop culture.

34
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 1: I think the best way to wrap up a full

35
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 1: three hundred and sixty five days. Oh it was a

36
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 1: leap year.

37
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 2: Was it a leapier this year?

38
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 1: Yes, every four years it's a leap yere US election

39
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 1: and Olympics, and that was this year.

40
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 2: In a year.

41
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 1: So we're going to go in themes. Why don't we

42
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 1: start locally first with domestic politics?

43
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 2: Soar, you're coming off strong and interesting.

44
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 1: Your favorite topic is Australian politics, is it? Yes, a

45
00:01:58,560 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 1: a nerd.

46
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 2: Kick it off for us, Okay, So I think it's

47
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 2: fair to say that this year in Australian politics was

48
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 2: quite backloaded, and by that I mean it was like

49
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 2: a kind of slow start to the year, but then

50
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,119
Speaker 2: the back saw quite a lot of progress and quite

51
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 2: a lot of news events happen in this space. And

52
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 2: I think that just goes to the fact that we

53
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 2: are approaching an election and the government and the opposition

54
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,360
Speaker 2: both knew that full well as we got to you know,

55
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 2: those last sitting weeks of the calendar, and that saw

56
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 2: a whole lot of massive pieces of legislation passed through.

57
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 2: So just to run you through them at the top

58
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 2: of my head, you know, we had a social media

59
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 2: ban pass parliament in a matter of weeks. We had

60
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,920
Speaker 2: the governments helped Buy and Build to rent legislation that

61
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 2: was of course their big housing policy that passed in

62
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 2: the last week. And we saw changes to the way

63
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 2: that He's indexation works also pass through parliament.

64
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 1: Both of those things, just a social media ban and

65
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 1: also Hex's massive things for young people.

66
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 2: Exactly, and I think again that speaks to the fact

67
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,959
Speaker 2: that the government is really looking how to bring young

68
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:11,640
Speaker 2: people into the folds ahead of that election. In terms

69
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 2: of where I guess the country sits as a whole,

70
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 2: it's fair to say that cost of living still remains

71
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,360
Speaker 2: top of the agenda, both for voters and for the

72
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:22,799
Speaker 2: government and the opposition. We saw in the US election

73
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 2: that the economy really stuck out as a defining feature,

74
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 2: and that is the same all around the world. It's

75
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 2: especially the same here. It'll be interesting to see whether

76
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 2: voters are talking about interest rates and things like that

77
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 2: at the election. We know, of course that that's not

78
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 2: something the government themselves can be changing, but we have

79
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 2: seen in other elections that governments are punished for higher

80
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 2: interest rates, so no doubt that'll be something that Anthony

81
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 2: Albinezi will be thinking a lot about over the summer holidays.

82
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 2: I think that if we take a step back, the

83
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 2: other big defining part of the Australian political landscape this

84
00:03:59,880 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 2: year were two independents. So Lydia Thorpe and Fatima Payman

85
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,839
Speaker 2: were both part of other parties. Lydia Thorpe was part

86
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 2: of the Greens she left last year and Fatima payment

87
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 2: was part of the Labor Government and she left this year.

88
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,600
Speaker 2: And I think both of them have been part of

89
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:21,280
Speaker 2: the biggest moments in Australian politics. Lydia Thorpes of course,

90
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 2: and we've spoken about it on this podcast. Came when

91
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 2: the King was visiting Australia with Queen Camilla and she

92
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 2: stood up and staged a protest that made headlines all

93
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,839
Speaker 2: around the world, not just here in Australia. And then

94
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 2: with Fatima Payman, she left the Labor Party due to

95
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 2: their stance on the war in Gaza as.

96
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 1: I was of a massive moment when she did that.

97
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:45,280
Speaker 2: Huge and you know, for a party that doesn't allow

98
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 2: for people to cross the floor, so when you're in

99
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 2: the Labor Party you need to vote with the Labor

100
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 2: Party on all matters. She was standing against them and

101
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 2: then left the party altogether. And since then she's really

102
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,799
Speaker 2: been making waves. And again to the point of young people.

103
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,719
Speaker 2: Fatima payment is one of the youngest people in Parliament

104
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 2: and so to see her leave one of the major

105
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,159
Speaker 2: parties when we know young people are turning to minor

106
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 2: parties and independents, that'll be an interesting thing to keep

107
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 2: in mind. And of course there was another viral moment

108
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 2: with Fadam A. Payman and Pauline Hanson when there was

109
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 2: a bit of a tussle about Fatima Payman's citizenship, So

110
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 2: that'll be a story to watch in the new Year.

111
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 2: I'm going to take a breath now. But the other

112
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 2: big political story I think that it would be remiss

113
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:27,600
Speaker 2: of us not to mention this year was the return

114
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 2: of Julian Massange and that has kind of cross party lines.

115
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 2: That's been something that both the Labor government and the

116
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 2: Coalition have been talking about for years and years and years,

117
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 2: and this year was the year that he was released

118
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 2: from prison and returned to Australia and now walks as

119
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:47,599
Speaker 2: a freeman, which you know, when we went into twenty

120
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 2: twenty four, I don't know that would have been a

121
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:50,159
Speaker 2: foregone conclusion.

122
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's absolutely crazy. Juliana Massange feels like something that

123
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 1: just went on for years and years and felt like

124
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 1: the never ending saga. So to see that he finally

125
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:00,599
Speaker 1: did come home, that was just one of the moments

126
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 1: of the year domestically. And then just quickly you've mentioned

127
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 1: you're foreshadowed that we do have an election coming up

128
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 1: next year. It needs to happen before May. But other

129
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:12,720
Speaker 1: than that, it's in the hands of Anthony Albersi as

130
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 1: to when exactly it will be. What are your predictions

131
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:17,159
Speaker 1: as to what will happen there?

132
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 2: Well, I mean I think Firstly, in terms of the timing,

133
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 2: A lot of the chatter seems to be that it

134
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:26,159
Speaker 2: will be held around March, just based on a whole

135
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:28,160
Speaker 2: bunch of things that need to happen for that election

136
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 2: to be called. In terms of what will actually happen

137
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,919
Speaker 2: come that federal election, I don't think anyone knows really.

138
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 2: I think based on the polling, it looks like it

139
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 2: might be difficult for either of the major parties to

140
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 2: win a majority. Support for both of the major parties

141
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 2: has continued to slip, especially as I said, among young people.

142
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 2: And I think that we can take some notes from

143
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 2: what we've seen globally, because twenty twenty four was the

144
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 2: year of the election. We saw elections all around the world,

145
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 2: and what we saw was a fairly uniform shift to

146
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 2: the right. Billy talked me through this trend that we saw.

147
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, we did see elections all around the world. It

148
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 1: was actually the most amount of people that have ever

149
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 1: voted in elections around the world than ever before. So

150
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 1: it was a record making year four elections. I think

151
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 1: it's safe to say that the most high profile election

152
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 1: was definitely the US election between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump,

153
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 1: and it was a very dramatic lead up to the election.

154
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 1: Obviously we had Joe Biden drop out just months before

155
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 1: election day, and then we also had the two assassination

156
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 1: attempts on Donald Trump, which just major news moments. And

157
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 1: of course Trump did win in a decisive victory, and

158
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 1: the race was nowhere near as close as what was

159
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 1: predicted in the polls, which once again just shows us

160
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 1: that the polls, I think the public's trust in polls

161
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 1: is comminishing, is definitely diminishing. They've really struggled, especially with

162
00:07:56,240 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 1: the US elections. To get it right, Zara, we have

163
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 1: to play I mentioned it at the start of the

164
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 1: podcast that last year when you and Sam did the

165
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 1: episode on recapping Train Training three, you also predicted what

166
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 1: would happen this year, and you did it has to

167
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 1: be said, predict that Trump would win. Let's play a

168
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 1: little bit of that now.

169
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 2: I think he'll win the nomination and he'll win the president.

170
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 1: So you think he's going to be the president.

171
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 2: I think this time next year we'll be talking about

172
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 2: President Trump. Yeah, Okay, well we'll come back in twelve

173
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 2: months and sea, Yes, So what's going on? Hello future, Zara,

174
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 2: talk to you? Then, thank you for giving me that credit.

175
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,840
Speaker 2: I will also just add, because the clip was not played,

176
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 2: that sam My beloved best friend and co founder, did

177
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 2: say on the same podcast that not only would Donald

178
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,200
Speaker 2: Trump not win the presidency, but he believed he wouldn't

179
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:48,080
Speaker 2: win the nomination and he was wrong on two her house.

180
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 2: If that's okay. He was right about starting a business,

181
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 2: so we still love him.

182
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:53,840
Speaker 1: If you guys could see Zara's face right now, she's

183
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 1: just like glowing knowing that she was right exactly. Zara,

184
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 1: what was your biggest takeaway from the US election?

185
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 2: I think that the biggest takeaway for me was legacy

186
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 2: media getting it wrong. And by that I mean the tone.

187
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:15,560
Speaker 2: The way that Donald Trump supporters were spoken about was

188
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 2: again fairly uniform when it came to legacy media. If

189
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 2: you flipped through you know, the big newspapers in the US,

190
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 2: what you saw was this writing that suggested there was

191
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 2: no way Donald Trump could win the presidency and that

192
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 2: anyone that voted for him was just wrong. And what

193
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 2: we saw was that more than half the country disagreed

194
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 2: with that and ended up voting. And I think that

195
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:42,720
Speaker 2: this disconnect between the way that the media sees the

196
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 2: political class and the way that ordinary Americans and it's

197
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 2: not just an American issue, it's all around the world.

198
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 2: But I think that disconnect was really really clear at

199
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 2: the US election, and it.

200
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 1: Was largely in legacy left wing media that you're talking about. Yeah,

201
00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,440
Speaker 1: and after the election happened, we sat down as a

202
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 1: newsroom and went through a lot of the coverage from

203
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:04,960
Speaker 1: other newsrooms, and the words shocking was used a lot,

204
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 1: and we kept saying or surprise, yes, and we kept saying,

205
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 1: how could it be shocking if more than half of

206
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:12,439
Speaker 1: the people who voted in the election did vote for

207
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 1: Donald Trump?

208
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 2: It was shocking for the other side, and it was

209
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 2: shocking because seemingly so much of the media sits on

210
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 2: that side. But yeah, taking a step back, that sort

211
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:24,840
Speaker 2: of language around shock and surprise didn't really land for

212
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,840
Speaker 2: anyone else. What about you, Billy, what was your takeaway?

213
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 1: I'm going to stay in kind of like the media theme.

214
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:35,720
Speaker 1: I think both campaigns really embraced new media for the

215
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 1: first time in the US election. I'm thinking about Joe Rogan,

216
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 1: I'm thinking a bat call her daddy. Kamala Harris's team

217
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 1: really went hard on TikTok, as did Donald Trump's team.

218
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:48,960
Speaker 1: Donald Trump also spoke to the Paul Brothers, so there

219
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:51,440
Speaker 1: was a lot of talking to influences to try to

220
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 1: reach a new audience that way. And I think that

221
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 1: was really interesting and really smart on both sides to

222
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 1: not just go go to the legacy media that we

223
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 1: were just speaking about Sarah, but to think of new

224
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 1: innovative ways to reach new audiences, especially young people.

225
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 2: I'll be really curious to see if that translates here,

226
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:14,080
Speaker 2: Like we haven't seen the same. I mean, obviously we've

227
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:18,080
Speaker 2: had a sky minister and the opposition leader on this podcast.

228
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 1: But we're included in that we are new media.

229
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 2: But I don't know that there has been a kind

230
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 2: of all of government or all of political class embracing

231
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 2: of new media. I think that we're still a media company,

232
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:33,559
Speaker 2: whereas I haven't necessarily seen influences engaged in the way

233
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:35,319
Speaker 2: they were in the US. I'll be really curious to

234
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 2: see if that happens.

235
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 1: I actually just saw Peter Dunnan do an interview with

236
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 1: Sam Frick I think his name is, who is the

237
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 1: Olympic diver who's very famous on TikTok. Yeah, so he Yeah,

238
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 1: there's an early indication that Christing possibly is going to

239
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 1: go down a similar route to what Donald Trump did.

240
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 2: Wow, I mean, definitely one to watch, and we will

241
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 2: be absolutely knocking on the doors of both a prime

242
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 2: minister and that position leader ask them to come on

243
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 2: this part again ahead of the election. But Billy, not

244
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 2: just the US election that happened. Tell me about everything

245
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:08,080
Speaker 2: else in the world.

246
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:10,200
Speaker 1: Before we get to that. We're going to hear a

247
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:15,679
Speaker 1: quick message from our sponsor. Okay, you mentioned this earlier,

248
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,080
Speaker 1: and I don't think I answered your question properly, But

249
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 1: we did see across the world, not just in the US,

250
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 1: a swing to the right. We also saw in Europe

251
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 1: across several elections. So there was the European Parliament's election,

252
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:33,079
Speaker 1: which is the world's only democratically elected transnational organization. Was

253
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:34,959
Speaker 1: a mouthful, yes, but so it was a whole lot

254
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 1: of countries that were part of this election. They saw

255
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:43,200
Speaker 1: a historic surge for small far right parties across Europe,

256
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 1: and in particular that one election caused a lot of

257
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 1: disruption to France, who had to call a snap election

258
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:54,559
Speaker 1: for its own parliament because of the popularity, the unexpected

259
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:58,079
Speaker 1: popularity in the rise in the far right. Like you said,

260
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 1: and that has now led to months of disarray in

261
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 1: French politics, and we've already seen another French PM come

262
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,440
Speaker 1: and go since that, and it's all because of this

263
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 1: sudden surge in the right.

264
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, it's a really interesting thing because so

265
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 2: much of politics is cyclical in that it goes in cycles.

266
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:16,560
Speaker 2: You know, you have a swing to the left, then

267
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 2: a swing to the right, and a swing to the left.

268
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 2: But somehow this is still really surprising a lot of analysts.

269
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, and a similar thing also happened in Austria and Portugal,

270
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:28,080
Speaker 1: and also in Germany on a state level.

271
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, on a state level, there were grounds made from

272
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:33,199
Speaker 2: far right parties that hadn't happened or hadn't been seen

273
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:36,720
Speaker 2: since World War Two. So that's definitely one. And we

274
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 2: saw the German Chancellor Olive Schultz voted down in a

275
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:43,680
Speaker 2: no confidence vote just this week, so definitely one to

276
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:45,599
Speaker 2: keep an eye on in the new year, yeaph.

277
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:48,680
Speaker 1: And then elsewhere, we had the biggest election that the

278
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:52,720
Speaker 1: world has ever seen in India, where nearly one billion

279
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 1: people voted over a six week period. Can you imagine

280
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:58,199
Speaker 1: that we have twenty six million people who need a

281
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 1: vote in Australia, they had one billion people, unbelievable who

282
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 1: needed to vote, and that resulted in incumbent Prime Minister

283
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:08,680
Speaker 1: Naranda Emodi returning to power for a third time. And

284
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 1: then also just of note, Mexico elected its first female president.

285
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, and we knew that that was a foregone conclusion

286
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:17,200
Speaker 2: because both candidates in the end were females. So either

287
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 2: way it was going to end with a female president there.

288
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 1: I had forgot that, Okay, and Zara. Whilst we are

289
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 1: still talking about overseas, a big focus in the news

290
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 1: this year has been what has been happening in the

291
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 1: Middle East. Yeah, the changing geopolitics there. Do you want

292
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 1: to take us through that?

293
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 3: Yeah?

294
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 2: I mean the thing is that there are just so

295
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 2: many different stories that are kind of interwoven and interlaced

296
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 2: in this one region, and it has seen the biggest

297
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 2: shift in decades just in the last couple of months alone.

298
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 2: So obviously, I think the first thing to be said

299
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 2: is that the war between Israel and Hummas in Gaza

300
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 2: remains ongoing. That has not come to an end. It

301
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 2: started this round of violence rather started on October seven

302
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 2: of twenty twenty three. But there does seem to be

303
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 2: a move towards a ceasefire, and perhaps the most meaningful

304
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 2: steps taken to a ceasefire that we've seen in months.

305
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 2: So based on reporting, there could be a ceasefire deal

306
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 2: over the Christmas period, but we'll have to wait and

307
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 2: see what happens there. Elsewhere. In Lebanon, Hesbela and Israel

308
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 2: reached a ceasefire earlier this year, and that came after

309
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 2: Hesbelah was really quite weakened. There had been an ongoing

310
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 2: war since October eighth of last year between those two

311
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 2: and Hesbela had this year lost its leadership almost entirely,

312
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 2: and that ended up with, as I said, that deal

313
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 2: being reached. Then if we go to another border that

314
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 2: Israel has with Syria. In Syria, we saw the government

315
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 2: collapse in recent weeks and there's been that vacuum of

316
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 2: power that has been filled by the rebels there.

317
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 1: So I guess kind of what we can take from

318
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 1: there is that previously last year, a lot of the

319
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 1: war was focused on what was happening in Gaza, and

320
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 1: now a lot of it is based on what is

321
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 1: happening at the borders of Israel on multiple sides.

322
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 2: Yes, exactly, so Israel is fighting on multiple fronts, but

323
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 2: I think the one commonality there is Iran. So the

324
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 2: Iranian regime backs Hamas, it backs Hezbola, and until recently

325
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 2: it was backing Syria and Bashar al Asad, and all

326
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 2: three of those, as I just mentioned, have had quite

327
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 2: significant changes. In recent months. We have seen Iran and

328
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 2: Israel for the very first time directly attack each other.

329
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 2: But that didn't really escalate into a direct war between

330
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 2: the two, but it certainly symbolizes the biggest shift in

331
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:40,320
Speaker 2: the region in a very long time.

332
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 1: An absolutely massive thing that happened this year and that

333
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 1: will continue to keep a very close eye on in

334
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 1: the new year. Zara, a bit of a change of pace.

335
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 1: We're going to talk about cultural moments.

336
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 2: We had a fight about this.

337
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 1: Oh my, that sounds like we hate each other. We don't,

338
00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 1: but we just argued about what the biggest cultural moments were,

339
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 1: and I think that speaks to how fragmented everyone's algorithms are.

340
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:08,680
Speaker 1: What's very popular on your for you page obviously isn't

341
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:10,639
Speaker 1: the same as my for you page, which is what

342
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 1: is so addictive about TikTok and yeah, algorithms that I

343
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 1: think is so tailored to.

344
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:18,360
Speaker 2: You like, how interesting that in a conversation we're having

345
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 2: about big cultural news moments, TikTok is the thing that

346
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 2: has somehow shaped that like that is totally That in

347
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:27,800
Speaker 2: itself is so novel and I can't remember a time

348
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:31,479
Speaker 2: where it can dictate what is important to someone and

349
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 2: not important to another person. But we'll stop with the

350
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 2: preamble now, Billy, what was the stand up cultural moment

351
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:37,240
Speaker 2: for you this year?

352
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:39,399
Speaker 1: Okay, well, it's not one that you agreed with, no,

353
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 1: but I didn't want to have recency bias, so I

354
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 1: wanted to pick one that was from earlier in the year,

355
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:48,200
Speaker 1: and I would say it was Kate Middleton, which it

356
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 1: feels so long ago, Yeah, but that was this year.

357
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:52,199
Speaker 2: Yeah.

358
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:55,040
Speaker 1: But it went on for about a month where the

359
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:58,479
Speaker 1: world was wondering what had happened to her, what she was.

360
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:01,320
Speaker 1: There had been a lot of speculation about it, and

361
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 1: in March, on Mother's Day, she put up a photo

362
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:06,399
Speaker 1: of herself with her three children, and it was then

363
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:08,919
Speaker 1: discovered that that photo was photoshopped. And I think what

364
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:11,359
Speaker 1: stood out to me was the fact that Geddy and

365
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:14,639
Speaker 1: I think AAP as well, which are both photo agencies

366
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:17,200
Speaker 1: that we use at the Daily Os. They had put

367
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 1: a kind of warning or cautionary message on that photo

368
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:23,920
Speaker 1: saying that this photo has been photoshopped and that you

369
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:26,439
Speaker 1: should be wary when you use it. And I have

370
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 1: never seen anything like that before, And that was a

371
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 1: conversation at the time that that was unprecedented for them

372
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 1: to do that, and it then led to even more

373
00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:39,480
Speaker 1: of a storm of speculation, and it was then revealed

374
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:42,400
Speaker 1: towards the end of March that Kate Middleton had been

375
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:46,040
Speaker 1: diagnosed with cancer and had begun chemotherapy, which I think

376
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 1: was a very sad kind of ending to that speculation.

377
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 1: I think it caused a lot of people to reflect

378
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 1: on how they had reported and how they had commented. Discourse, Yeah,

379
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 1: on her kind of disappearance, and they're not disappearance, but

380
00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 1: I would say that was, you know, in the first

381
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 1: three months of this year, that was one of the

382
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 1: biggest stories.

383
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:06,680
Speaker 2: And also I just had to google this to make

384
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:08,400
Speaker 2: sure it was this year. But King Charles was also

385
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 2: diagnosed with cancer this yes, so Prince William had both

386
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 2: his wife and his father battling separate cancer diagnoses at

387
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:19,159
Speaker 2: the same time. It's unbelievable to think what can happen

388
00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 2: in just one year. I do think that that recency

389
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:26,200
Speaker 2: bias is perhaps clouding my judgment, and I do remember

390
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 2: it was a huge moment at the time, and you're right,

391
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:31,360
Speaker 2: like the implications were fairly far reaching.

392
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:33,720
Speaker 1: So I'll give you that, all right, Zarah, What was

393
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 1: your biggest moment of the year in culture?

394
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 2: Well, for me, when I think back to this year,

395
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:42,439
Speaker 2: the thing that stands out is just this rise and

396
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 2: rise and rise of female artists, and specifically the idea

397
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 2: that people think that Charlie XCX, Chapel Ron Sabrina Carpenter,

398
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:54,679
Speaker 2: that these people were overnight successes. And I have just

399
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 2: loved reading, listening to watching the fact that these super

400
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 2: stars have been decades in the making but have emerged

401
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:07,760
Speaker 2: into stardom very very quickly, and just you know, watching

402
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:11,919
Speaker 2: Chapel Roone performing busking on the street to nobody to

403
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:15,119
Speaker 2: then filling out the biggest festival audience that the world's

404
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 2: ever seen. I just think like it's been the year

405
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:20,359
Speaker 2: of the female pop star, of the GIRLI Pops, of

406
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 2: the Gurli Pops, and like, really, you know, I think

407
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:27,360
Speaker 2: last year was probably Harry Styles's year. This year has

408
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:30,919
Speaker 2: to be the year of the female superstar, led of

409
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 2: course by Taylor Swift, but she has kind of reigned

410
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:35,960
Speaker 2: supreme for a very long time. So I think it's

411
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:39,880
Speaker 2: the new entrance who really characterized twenty twenty four.

412
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:42,479
Speaker 1: For me, absolutely love it. Should we get to sport?

413
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:48,280
Speaker 2: Are you not going to mention Reagun? Billy has ridden

414
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:52,320
Speaker 2: here Reagun rise and fall, but maybe we can just

415
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 2: leave that there. I don't know that we need to

416
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:56,200
Speaker 2: elaborate much more that happened.

417
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:59,680
Speaker 1: I didn't know whether to say Reagan's rise or Reagan's

418
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:03,119
Speaker 1: full both of the above, but I think that she

419
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 1: was also one of the biggest cultural moments. I mean,

420
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:09,280
Speaker 1: literally six months ago we had never heard her.

421
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 2: I know we did. Actually I will say our sport

422
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 2: journo George did write a piece about who was ray

423
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,159
Speaker 2: Gun ahead of the Olympics, So we were ahead of

424
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:19,679
Speaker 2: the curve there. He always is that one. Yeah, that

425
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 2: one could be recycled many times after the fact. But anyway,

426
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:25,640
Speaker 2: let's move on now, good segue here to the biggest

427
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:28,680
Speaker 2: sports story of the years. What's it for you? All right?

428
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:32,119
Speaker 1: I think it is the Olympics. Australia had its best

429
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 1: performance at an Olympics. Ever, that's in terms of gold

430
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:40,200
Speaker 1: medals won and it was again year of the girlipops.

431
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 1: It was really the Australian women who absolutely dominated our

432
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 1: gold medal tally. We had Arian Timmis, Jessica Fox, the

433
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 1: or the Fox Sisters, really Emma McKeon, just so many

434
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 1: and then Raygun. Can we include Raygun? She didn't win

435
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:57,480
Speaker 1: a gold medal, but she was included in the rise

436
00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 1: of Australian sports women at the Olympics, which was just

437
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 1: so exciting to see. One day, I remember we woke

438
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:07,160
Speaker 1: up to there being four gold medals having been won

439
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 1: by the Australian Olympic team in the space of five

440
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 1: hours or something.

441
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:11,760
Speaker 2: It was unbelievable.

442
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 1: It was such a proud moment to be Australian, which

443
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:17,959
Speaker 1: is always such a nice feeling. Touche Zara, what about you?

444
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:23,439
Speaker 2: Mine is a more recent story, but it is just

445
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 2: the unbelievable rise of Australians. Sprinting star Quaquat who broke

446
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:32,119
Speaker 2: the nation's longest standing record in athletics and the best

447
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 2: part is that he did it at like a school

448
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 2: loving festival, at a school carnival school carnival, I mean

449
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:40,439
Speaker 2: where else is a good place to be a you know,

450
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 2: decades long record.

451
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 1: It was like an all schools carnival, Like it wasn't here.

452
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:47,119
Speaker 2: It was like imagining my local school carnival.

453
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:50,520
Speaker 1: I was so nervous, but still just so exciting.

454
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 2: So exciting, and I think that this signals and symbolizes

455
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:55,880
Speaker 2: the next wave of Ossie talent that we're going to see.

456
00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:58,120
Speaker 2: And he's just at the beginning. You know, he's got

457
00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:00,879
Speaker 2: his eyes set on twenty thirty two, but we know

458
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 2: that he ran faster than you say Bolt did at

459
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:05,600
Speaker 2: the same age, So I think we have high hopes,

460
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:08,440
Speaker 2: but not too high. I think that it's an important

461
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:10,919
Speaker 2: message about not putting too much pressure on up and

462
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 2: coming talent because he is so young and he has

463
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:15,920
Speaker 2: so much ahead of him. He's just going to take

464
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 2: his time with it.

465
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 1: I'm so excited to see at the twenty thirty two Olympics.

466
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:22,760
Speaker 1: I'll be waiting eight years. Is that how long it is?

467
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 1: But that will be a very exciting moment. But like

468
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:28,120
Speaker 1: you said, we can't put too much pressure on him, Zarah,

469
