Speaker 2: we're diving into it. Your stories of sporting failure. I
Speaker 2: remember in nineteen eighty nine there was a British title
Speaker 2: boxing fight and one of the boxes, Tony Wilson, has
Speaker 2: been so badly beaten by his opponent, Steve McCarthy.
Speaker 1: His mum got came.
Speaker 2: To the corner of the ring, took a shoe off
Speaker 2: and started hitting the opponent. This was live on TV
Speaker 2: for a national middleweight title. Your mum, your grown up dudes,
Speaker 2: your professional boxer.
Speaker 1: He retired after that.
Speaker 2: Tony Wilson, his mum took a shoe off and started
Speaker 2: hitting the other guy.
Speaker 1: Bad boy attacking my son. All right, sporting failure, Steve,
Speaker 1: Good morning.
Speaker 3: Good morning, gang, Happy Tuesday, Way back in nineteen eighty three,
Speaker 3: I think it was eighty four, when I was much
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,
Speaker 3: and the word went out, we're going to all have
Speaker 3: a push up competition. So I said, no problems.
Speaker 4: I'm really good at this.
Speaker 3: I can do this.
Speaker 4: Nightclub obviously changed, but one time I got this very good,
Speaker 4: but now as.
Speaker 3: A winner, So whoever one got a slab, So I thought, no,
Speaker 3: I can do this because I was really in my
Speaker 3: prime them days.
Speaker 5: So here we go.
Speaker 3: So I'm going hard and going really well. Got up
Speaker 3: to ninety two ninety three, and I won't won.
Speaker 2: The company nightclub, been drinking all night. Just squeeze off
Speaker 2: ninety two ninety three, nine thousand and five.
Speaker 3: It is no to be serious. I used to do
Speaker 3: those for almost a living, so.
Speaker 2: Prayer this is sporty, tough guy.
Speaker 3: To anyway, what happens as I've done that, and I've
Speaker 3: gone right, I'm going to do the rocky here and show.
Speaker 5: Off a little bit.
Speaker 3: So I've gone the left handed push up. I was
Speaker 3: single handed, and then when I flicked to go to
Speaker 3: the right hand, my shoulder popped out and I dissiocated
Speaker 3: my shoulder and the band went through through the top
Speaker 3: of my shoulder.
Speaker 1: Another one thous and that was it.
Speaker 3: I won the slab both. I couldn't drink it in
Speaker 3: the hospital.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, Steve, thank you very much. You got mate.
Speaker 1: Have a good day.
Speaker 3: Yeah, welcome, have a great day, guys.
Speaker 1: Uh Peter, good morning, sporting.
Speaker 5: Hey guys, how are you?
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're good. What's your story for us? Pete?
Speaker 5: Good?
Speaker 4: Back off years now? We used to play under ten
Speaker 4: football and one so they matched the coach and we've
Speaker 4: got no goalkeeper. He hasn't showed up. So I've decided
Speaker 4: how hard can it be? I'll go in the goals.
Speaker 4: So meantime we as the game was going on, We're
Speaker 4: playing against this other team. I swear with like ninjas
Speaker 4: all over the place. We've got to talk about eight nial,
Speaker 4: nine nil, ten nil. In the end, the coach ended
Speaker 4: up speaking to the other coach and they decided the
Speaker 4: best thing was to put two of us in the
Speaker 4: goals and goalkeepers.
Speaker 1: On top of each other.
Speaker 5: Twelve.
Speaker 1: At least you stem the bleeding somewhat. Do you know
Speaker 1: what many is?
Speaker 2: The time I wish watching a Soka go wish they
Speaker 2: had double keepers.
Speaker 5: They guided it up.
Speaker 4: That might be the solution.
Speaker 2: So that's what they did.
Speaker 1: Yes, that we couldn't stop them all over the players.
Speaker 2: Oh my, Peter, that is a great one. We're going
Speaker 2: to give you a prize for that. In fact, Peter,
Speaker 2: I'll give you a two hunch too, voucher for Interflora.
Speaker 1: Oh, thank you for that. That's a great story. Thanks
Speaker 1: your story. Have a great day, Have a good day,
Speaker 1: good morning.
Speaker 5: Yes, how are you guys.
Speaker 1: Very good on shore. Welcome to the show.
Speaker 5: Yes, thank you. So when I was back in Friends
Speaker 5: and I was studying so at school for the trimester,
Speaker 5: the teacher said, okay, we we're going to to try
Speaker 5: to play golf. So we went to the driving range
Speaker 5: and then I hid. So I was already the little
Speaker 5: clown of the classroom, always trying to make everybody love.
Speaker 5: Hasn't changed, clown, Yes, And I hit the ball. I
Speaker 5: hit the ball as hard and strong as a cool
Speaker 5: And then you went in the sky and it was
Speaker 5: pretty windy, and the ball went on the left, landed
Speaker 5: on the car park and smashed the wind queen of
Speaker 5: the car. And so the teacher told me like, please,
Speaker 5: don't touch anything anymore. Just have a seat. And then
Speaker 5: the last time I went on the sports class, it
Speaker 5: was baseball. And then I hit the ball eyes hard
Speaker 5: and as strong as I could. And when I was
Speaker 5: about to run to do a home run, I threw
Speaker 5: the bat behind me, but the bat landed on the
Speaker 5: knee of the girl who was trying to catch the ball,
Speaker 5: and I just dislocated her knees. And that's it. And
Speaker 5: after the least and last time and the next time
Speaker 5: I went to play sports, the teachers that I think
Speaker 5: you feeling well today, you're just gonna sit and watch it.
Speaker 1: All right, Remy, thank you very much your stories there.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm a pleasure.
Speaker 1: Thank you.
