25
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 3: more awesomer than I am now. I was in the

Speaker 3: nightclub and it was kind of late in the nightclub day,

27
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 3: and the word went out, we're going to all have

28
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 3: a push up competition. So I said, no problems.

Speaker 5: Hey guys, how are you?

60
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're good. What's your story for us? Pete?

61
00:02:58,360 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 5: Good?

62
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 4: Back off years now? We used to play under ten

63
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 4: football and one so they matched the coach and we've

64
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 4: got no goalkeeper. He hasn't showed up. So I've decided

65
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 4: how hard can it be? I'll go in the goals.

66
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,799
Speaker 4: So meantime we as the game was going on, We're

67
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 4: playing against this other team. I swear with like ninjas

68
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 4: all over the place. We've got to talk about eight nial,

69
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 4: nine nil, ten nil. In the end, the coach ended

70
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 4: up speaking to the other coach and they decided the

71
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 4: best thing was to put two of us in the

72
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 4: goals and goalkeepers.

73
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 1: On top of each other.

74
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 5: Twelve.

75
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 1: At least you stem the bleeding somewhat. Do you know

76
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 1: what many is?

77
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 2: The time I wish watching a Soka go wish they

78
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 2: had double keepers.

79
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 5: They guided it up.

80
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 4: That might be the solution.

81
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 2: So that's what they did.

82
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 1: Yes, that we couldn't stop them all over the players.

83
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 2: Oh my, Peter, that is a great one. We're going

84
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:55,440

00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 5: Yes, how are you guys.

90
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 1: Very good on shore. Welcome to the show.

91
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 5: Yes, thank you. So when I was back in Friends

92
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 5: and I was studying so at school for the trimester,

93
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:22,040
Speaker 5: the teacher said, okay, we we're going to to try

94
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 5: to play golf. So we went to the driving range

95
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,799
Speaker 5: and then I hid. So I was already the little

96
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 5: clown of the classroom, always trying to make everybody love.

97
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 5: Hasn't changed, clown, Yes, And I hit the ball. I

98
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,600
Speaker 5: hit the ball as hard and strong as a cool

99
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 5: And then you went in the sky and it was

100
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 5: pretty windy, and the ball went on the left, landed

101
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 5: on the car park and smashed the wind queen of

102
00:04:56,160 --> 00:05:00,799
Speaker 5: the car. And so the teacher told me like, please,

103
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 5: don't touch anything anymore. Just have a seat. And then

104
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 5: the last time I went on the sports class, it

105
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 5: was baseball. And then I hit the ball eyes hard

106
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:13,919
Speaker 5: and as strong as I could. And when I was

107
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:16,480
Speaker 5: about to run to do a home run, I threw

108
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 5: the bat behind me, but the bat landed on the

109
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 5: knee of the girl who was trying to catch the ball,

110
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 5: and I just dislocated her knees. And that's it. And

111
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:30,480
Speaker 5: after the least and last time and the next time

112
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 5: I went to play sports, the teachers that I think

113
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 5: you feeling well today, you're just gonna sit and watch it.

114
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 1: All right, Remy, thank you very much your stories there.

115
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:41,080

Speaker 1: Thank you.
