1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:04,280
Speaker 1: It's a special Will and Woody podcast mini. Now we

2
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:07,520
Speaker 1: can't say the word because we don't have authority too,

3
00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:10,239
Speaker 1: we didn't pay for the official partnership. Yeah, but there

4
00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 1: is an opening ceremony happening tonight for games, some big games,

5
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:18,640
Speaker 1: which is bloody, exciting and down there on the ground

6
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 1: in Tokyo. Actually there is Drew Jones from Fox Sports.

7
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 2: Good Day jonesy, Well, would he great to be with you?

8
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:31,640
Speaker 2: It's it's warm, it's sweaty. There's a lot happening here.

9
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:33,160
Speaker 2: I'm just trying to keep it together.

10
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 3: Beautiful, warm and sweaty. It's how we want you, Drew Jones.

11
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 3: But can you tell us mate? I mean, we know

12
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:44,200
Speaker 3: there's no crowds at the games over the next couple

13
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 3: of weeks, but how's the vibe there? Is it a

14
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:48,320
Speaker 3: good vine? Weird?

15
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 1: It sounds hot, sweaty, no crowds. What's it like?

16
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 2: I think a bit here. He's probably the right way.

17
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 2: So I've been able to get out of the hotel

18
00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 2: a little bit, but not too much because there are

19
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 2: pretty strong restrictions where you can go. The streets are

20
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 2: pretty empty because of the state of emergency here, much

21
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:10,319
Speaker 2: high of COVID cases. Yes, that I have top in

22
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 2: two thousand and Yeah, the five colored rings. You can

23
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 2: barely see them in the city and there's not much paraphernalia.

24
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 2: So as much as the excitement amongst us the traveling

25
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 2: media who are here and obviously the athletes have been

26
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:27,679
Speaker 2: working towards it for five years, and that the citizens

27
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 2: probably aren't that stoke.

28
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 1: No, I heard that there was I heard that something

29
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 1: like twenty percent of Tokyo citizens actually still one of

30
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 1: the games to go ahead, like twenty percent.

31
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, like if that real low percentage?

32
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 3: So Jonesy, what's the opening ceremony going to be like tonight?

33
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:44,320
Speaker 1: Is it?

34
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:44,679
Speaker 2: Like?

35
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 3: Is it going to be an absolute stinker? So you've

36
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 3: got no crowds there? I've heard they haven't confirmed entertainment.

37
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 3: Is this just going to be the most POxy boring

38
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 3: ceremony ever? Yeah?

39
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's interesting you say that. I would expect that

40
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 2: they've really ramped up the TV spectacle and to those

41
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 2: who are actually going to be there, of which I

42
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 2: will be one and only about a thousand people will

43
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 2: be there, it's not going to be probably as good

44
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,360
Speaker 2: in person to an eighty thousand seats stadium. Which they

45
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 2: spent the better part of two billion dollars billing and

46
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,640
Speaker 2: literally that the seats are going to be empty. So,

47
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 2: and there's been a bit of controversy as well. The

48
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:24,360
Speaker 2: director of the opening ceremony I who you'd expect to

49
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,119
Speaker 2: play a fairly large role in how it pans out.

50
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 2: He's been fired a two days ago. He create one

51
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:33,080
Speaker 2: of the creative directors. Yeah, he got fired because of

52
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 2: some anti Semitic comments he made about twenty years ago

53
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 2: which surfaced on YouTube. And then one of the creative

54
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,640
Speaker 2: directors was also let go and stood down because of

55
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 2: some previous indiscretions as well. So it might be the

56
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 2: work experience person pushing the buttons.

57
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 1: As a position. Hopefully you're there, Jonesy.

58
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 3: I mean, I know.

59
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 1: Fox Sports look after you. But in the ring mate,

60
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 1: that sounds like a hot job.

61
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, little extra wedge on the side.

62
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 1: Woun't go straight, I'm now Jones. So the other fireball

63
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 1: that's been thrown into this is that the teams are

64
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:09,799
Speaker 1: just people just dropping out of the teams because they've

65
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 1: got COVID, So they need to isolate immediately, what's the story, like,

66
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:15,959
Speaker 1: are we are we going to be looking at three

67
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 1: on three basketball? Like, is that the people actually the

68
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 1: size of the teams walking out onto the Olympic stadium tonight,

69
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 1: are they going to be severely depleted? No.

70
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 2: I don't know if you've heard, but the three on

71
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 2: three basketball is now gone to one on one. You

72
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 2: know you've got to be you've got to be flexible

73
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 2: in COVID watch that.

74
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 1: I would watch that one on one sport.

75
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 3: Just your best player from every country.

76
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 1: That We've got more with jud Jones right up next

77

Speaker 1: of the opening ceremony. Sorry, annually said the the word

85
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 1: we're not allowed to say.

86
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 3: I can't say the word official game.

87
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 1: The official games could be official A.

88
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 3: Good one, but Jonesy, obviously a lot of people are

89
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 3: in lockdown here in Australia, so We're pumped to see

90
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 3: a bit of sport on the TVs though, because you

91
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 3: know it is great news the games are going. I

92
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 3: don't want to couick. You mentioned great that Paddy Mills

93
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 3: and Kate Campbell are going to be the flag bearers,

94
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 3: which is really really exciting. But going into this weekend, Jonesy,

95
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:40,359
Speaker 3: can you give us the highlights what.

96
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 1: Watching out for? We're the metal chances.

97
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 2: Oh, great question. So a couple of medals have already

98
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:52,280
Speaker 2: been awarded. That's me for most sweats. I've got to

99
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 2: go there, John John Coates the rating anastage of Paliche

100
00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 2: live on international TV of the year that in all

101
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 2: seriousness and the swimming starts and in the pool, the

102
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 2: women are our absolute guns of the Olympic Games. So

103
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 2: we know Kate Campbell is going to be carrying the flag.

104
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 2: But there's the four by one hundred relay, which we

105
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 2: are ranked number one in the world, so look for

106
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 2: them because they're like they're guns. They win it almost

107
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 2: every time in terms of the world championship events, so

108
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 2: they just need to turn up and hopefully spank the

109
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 2: United States, who have said the United States have already

110
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 2: said will win every gold available so they're already thrown

111
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 2: down the gauls. Kate Campbell and the girl can get

112
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:39,600
Speaker 2: it done.

113
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 1: And what about the dudes in the pool? Because I

114
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:42,719
Speaker 1: know that like a couple of the guys that we

115
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 1: thought were going to be there, like Matt Horton, you know,

116
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 1: barely qualified. I feel like there's been a couple of

117
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 1: There's a guy called Smith, I know, who's that sounds

118
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 1: liberally obscure.

119
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 3: Charmer's still rolling around like Charmers, Kyle Chalmers, good, heck,

120
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:57,279
Speaker 3: it's still.

121
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 1: Fifteen hundred's who's actually? Who's actually guy? Yeah, that's there

122
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:06,359
Speaker 1: doing the Charmers.

123
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 2: Charmers sending the one hundred meter freestyle gold. But he's

124
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 2: went in Rio kind of out of nowhere, but he's

125
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 2: actually been dethroned as the best one hundred meter freestyler

126
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 2: in the men. So there's a guy called Caleb Dressel

127
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 2: from the United States. You should you should? He looks

128
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 2: like a Captain America. Yeah, you've got cats, huge muscles

129
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 2: like he could be playing, you know, linebacker in the NFL.

130
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,479
Speaker 2: Like he's an absolute beast. He's tipped to win six

131
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:33,599
Speaker 2: or seven medals. So Charmers is going to have a

132
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,719
Speaker 2: battle on his hands to back that up. Yeah, Matt

133
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 2: Horton won't defend the four hundred he finished third at

134
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 2: the Australian Trials. But Elijah Winnington, who's actually named, if

135
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 2: he gets over the line and gets the gold, he's

136
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,839
Speaker 2: tipped to win it. He's been the fastest in that event,

137
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 2: the men's Yeah, Elijah Winton's the man to.

138
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 1: Be amazing awesome. He things to look forward to. I

139
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 1: know the rest is in lockdown, so you know, I'm

140
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 1: sure the stadium crowds won't be filled, but gee whiz

141
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:04,919
Speaker 1: will there'll be a shitload of people watching it on

142
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 1: TV in Australia over the weekend. My god, there is

143
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 1: nothing else to do. So we're all pumped. We are

144
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 1: bloody pump back here mate, So hopefully we'll be seeing

145
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 1: your mug on TV at some stage, and hopefully by

146
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 1: then you've managed to find a shammy to wipe yourself down,

147
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 1: because it sounds like you're in a bit of a

148
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 1: rank spot out there and the hot winds of Tokyo.

149
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 1: Good luck with it, mate. Honestly, it sounds like it's

150
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 1: it's had all the slings and arrows of misfortunes thrown

151
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 1: out at these games, so I'm glad that it's over

152
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 1: the line, and honestly hopefully there's a bit of Olympic

153
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 1: spirit flying around after this opening ceremony takes place.

154
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 2: Boys, thanks so much for having me stay safe in lockdown.

155
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 2: I'm definitely feeling for everyone in OZ and we'll hopefully

156
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 2: to do its proud in Tokyo.

157
