I wouldn't even go for a paddel 0:00:59.600 --> 0:01:02.280 in that I've seen it up close. It is beyond brown. 0:01:02.600 --> 0:01:04.760 There's a shade. It should be that on the painting 0:01:04.840 --> 0:01:08.240 charge the Forbes. Beyond brown, beyond Pooh. 0:01:08.080 --> 0:01:12.160 Also saw some kind of official who's on a paddle board. 0:01:12.280 --> 0:01:14.679 I guess they're to like drag anybody out if they know. 0:01:14.640 --> 0:01:18.280 He's dragging poos. That's what that paddle is pair for 0:01:18.319 --> 0:01:18.640 them out. 0:01:19.160 --> 0:01:21.560 The officials dresser sense she's a scuba diver, so no 0:01:21.680 --> 0:01:23.360 part of their body is allowed to touch the water. 0:01:23.480 --> 0:01:25.360 So what did the French know? The rest of the don't. 0:01:25.440 --> 0:01:27.679 Yeah, and you know what you asked yesterday. In the 0:01:27.680 --> 0:01:29.200 swim do they stop for snacks? 0:01:29.280 --> 0:01:29.600 Yeah? 0:01:29.680 --> 0:01:32.759 I saw an Italian woman pull a little snack out 0:01:32.760 --> 0:01:36.440 of the fos. She just went on her back and 0:01:36.560 --> 0:01:37.200 was sucking down this. 0:01:37.920 --> 0:01:40.080 Yeah, you have to because she's swimming. Didn't yourself? Like 0:01:40.120 --> 0:01:40.679 two hours? 0:01:40.760 --> 0:01:41.360 Who hours? 0:01:41.400 --> 0:01:42.160 The store? 0:01:42.360 --> 0:01:44.720 Half of it again, it was a really strong current 0:01:44.800 --> 0:01:47.800 and so half of it they were powering against this 0:01:47.920 --> 0:01:51.440 really really strong current. The Ossie girl, Maisha Johnson wasn't 0:01:51.480 --> 0:01:55.360 really expected to do particularly well. She's twenty six years old, 0:01:55.400 --> 0:01:58.880 Australia's oldest ever swimmer to debut. 0:01:59.160 --> 0:02:01.480 My god, that's I thought you're gonna say, she's fifty six, 0:02:01.920 --> 0:02:05.600 twenty six and they're going a old lady giving she's 0:02:05.600 --> 0:02:06.920 twenty six is the eldest one? 0:02:07.080 --> 0:02:08.720 Yeah, that's ancient in swimming room. 0:02:08.800 --> 0:02:10.560 Yeah, but once you've been that river, saying, you can 0:02:10.600 --> 0:02:13.960 add another hundred years. She'd come out looking completely different, 0:02:14.160 --> 0:02:17.760 like Benjamin Button getting out that Periold river saying in Paris, 0:02:18.080 --> 0:02:22.520 and she's just narrowing. I saw the photos. There's nothing 0:02:22.600 --> 0:02:22.919 in it. 0:02:23.080 --> 0:02:25.360 She was ahead the whole race for two hours. She 0:02:25.440 --> 0:02:28.640 was leading, which was incredible. And then we're getting right 0:02:28.720 --> 0:02:31.880 near the final turn and she sort of ran into 0:02:31.919 --> 0:02:34.240 the barriers and I think maybe she lost where she 0:02:34.280 --> 0:02:34.640 was going. 0:02:34.680 --> 0:02:35.720 They just exhausted. 0:02:36.000 --> 0:02:38.600 Yeah, and then the do they have goggles on? 0:02:39.560 --> 0:02:43.600 Yeah, maybe the goggles got sort of browned up, or 0:02:44.320 --> 0:02:47.560 maybe maybe youon pink, you get brown eye in that. Yes, 0:02:48.560 --> 0:02:51.840 all right, so she just now need mission in credible silver. 0:02:52.080 --> 0:02:55.240 Yes. And same in the kayak. Oh, actually, I need 0:02:55.280 --> 0:02:57.080 to tell you in the marathon. In the swim, so 0:02:57.160 --> 0:02:59.720 these girls have just swum two hours. They collapsed in 0:02:59.720 --> 0:03:02.679 a heat and the commentators are congratulating, Oh, well done 0:03:02.720 --> 0:03:04.679 to the girls. You know, an incredible effort, no matter 0:03:04.720 --> 0:03:07.320 where you come. And the other commentator said to the 0:03:07.360 --> 0:03:10.400 other one, oh, mate, and congratulations to you. That was 0:03:10.440 --> 0:03:11.120 a marathon. 0:03:11.240 --> 0:03:15.480 Call for you in the booth shat on your ass 0:03:15.480 --> 0:03:18.679 watching it on TV and these women are literally way 0:03:19.120 --> 0:03:21.359 they're half to five in each other and also well 0:03:21.360 --> 0:03:23.760 done for us, God was for us having to watch 0:03:23.840 --> 0:03:25.200 this boring old switch. 0:03:25.440 --> 0:03:27.240 We didn't hit a new barriers. While we were doing 0:03:27.240 --> 0:03:29.360 the commentary, I couldn't believe my ears. 0:03:30.040 --> 0:03:32.400 So what was the kayaking? I thought the kayaking was done? 0:03:32.600 --> 0:03:35.160 No, this is the kayak sprint, so it's like the rowing, 0:03:35.560 --> 0:03:38.080 but four people in a kayak and just paddling straight, 0:03:38.120 --> 0:03:39.200 No rapids. 0:03:39.000 --> 0:03:40.360 Right, Okay, smooth water. 0:03:40.520 --> 0:03:41.560 I think that's what they call it. 0:03:41.640 --> 0:03:44.640 Yeah, but we lost by literally a millimeter to the 0:03:44.640 --> 0:03:45.640 bloody Germans. 0:03:45.760 --> 0:03:50.920 Oh my god, the Germans again and so whippers. Over 0:03:50.920 --> 0:03:52.520 the next couple of hours, is that it now? Because 0:03:52.520 --> 0:03:57.320 I was listening to the beach volleyball and the women's 0:03:57.720 --> 0:03:59.440 beat the Brazilians, I think. 0:03:59.520 --> 0:04:01.040 I think we lost to the brazil today. 0:04:01.160 --> 0:04:02.720 It was on the ERA on the way and on 0:04:02.760 --> 0:04:04.880 the they were commentating on the on the radio. 0:04:05.320 --> 0:04:06.720 I thought we won in the beach volleyball, and I 0:04:06.760 --> 0:04:07.880 thought we won in the water polo. 0:04:07.960 --> 0:04:09.480 These round ups are normally very good. 0:04:09.920 --> 0:04:14.920 We again, we lost in the in the beach volleyball. 0:04:15.400 --> 0:04:17.520 Well, if you, the computer wouldn't lie to us. Also, 0:04:17.560 --> 0:04:19.200 you sound as old as me now when you go 0:04:19.279 --> 0:04:22.840 my computer saying this. Computers say we lost. 0:04:22.880 --> 0:04:24.520 We lost, We lost in the beach Volube. 0:04:25.240 --> 0:04:27.680 You got the exclusive it was twenty nineteen, about an 0:04:27.720 --> 0:04:30.239 hour ago. It was so exciting about. 0:04:30.080 --> 0:04:33.000 What does this headline mean? Australia blows past Brazil in 0:04:33.080 --> 0:04:35.360 convincing round of sixteen? When are we not in the 0:04:35.400 --> 0:04:36.080 round of sixteen? 0:04:36.200 --> 0:04:36.400 No? 0:04:36.440 --> 0:04:36.760 This is. 0:04:39.800 --> 0:04:44.880 Round six Oh my god? Remember that? So over next 0:04:44.920 --> 0:04:46.800 couple of hours, are there any more big key events 0:04:46.800 --> 0:04:48.360 that we've got a chance. 0:04:48.200 --> 0:04:50.480 In Caitlyn Parker in the boxing I think she's about 0:04:50.480 --> 0:04:53.280 to come up. Corey Senior, our other boxer, just lost 0:04:53.279 --> 0:04:56.280 about ten minutes ago, which is unfortunate. But we're through 0:04:56.320 --> 0:04:59.599 to the water polo semi finals. Awesome, sorry water polo 0:04:59.680 --> 0:05:02.760 final in the women's we beat the US who haven't lost. 0:05:04.080 --> 0:05:06.000 Yeah, they're dominating in that. That's huge. 0:05:06.040 --> 0:05:08.160 Yeah, I think seven to one to win that and 0:05:08.200 --> 0:05:08.880 we want. 0:05:08.720 --> 0:05:12.720 So and so when it's the final, ah, I don't know. Okay, Well, 0:05:12.720 --> 0:05:14.040 where do you have another one of your round ups? 0:05:14.080 --> 0:05:15.000 An hour or two s times? 0:05:15.480 --> 0:05:18.160 Christian Connall's show podcast. 0:05:18.120 --> 0:05:21.680 Christian O'Connell's show yesterday. On the show, Jackie, you were 0:05:21.720 --> 0:05:24.600 telling us about how there's this big giant clock that's 0:05:24.600 --> 0:05:26.200 six minutes faster knocks. 0:05:26.279 --> 0:05:29.600 Yeah. For in Fort Knock self storage center has a 0:05:29.640 --> 0:05:33.320 public clock on Hardleberg Road in Alfington, so plenty of 0:05:33.320 --> 0:05:36.040 people passing in the morning, but it was six minutes fast, 0:05:36.320 --> 0:05:39.440 so lots lots of communists thinking there later than they are. 0:05:39.720 --> 0:05:41.520 I walked in there yesterday, Beau it's just near my 0:05:41.560 --> 0:05:44.479 house and talked to Xavier, who said. 0:05:44.839 --> 0:05:47.000 You actually did this. I did this, Yeah, but you 0:05:47.040 --> 0:05:49.039 really look at you've got stuff going on. I mean, 0:05:49.320 --> 0:05:52.039 I've never seen this new super citizen. It's when you 0:05:52.120 --> 0:05:55.560 become obsessed by something that you could just let go 0:05:56.200 --> 0:05:59.880 some kind of snak, a thread gets caught on some 0:06:00.120 --> 0:06:01.760 think and I just like, let the jump a tear. 0:06:02.160 --> 0:06:04.920 You're like, the keyboard needs to be taken apart because 0:06:04.920 --> 0:06:06.440 there's a wonky eye or something. 0:06:06.480 --> 0:06:06.840 Wow. 0:06:06.920 --> 0:06:09.160 I'm shocked by this response. I actually thought i'd get 0:06:09.160 --> 0:06:11.320 a paddle them back for going the extra mile for 0:06:11.400 --> 0:06:11.760 this show. 0:06:11.960 --> 0:06:14.400 Sis. The behavior of what would call Neil Mitchell behavior, 0:06:14.440 --> 0:06:16.559 isn't it. Can I speak to the manager please? 0:06:17.320 --> 0:06:19.800 I did speak to the mat, but only by chance 0:06:19.839 --> 0:06:22.680 he was the only one there, Xavier. He explained that 0:06:22.720 --> 0:06:26.599 they have clock creep. So sorry, that's what they called 0:06:26.600 --> 0:06:29.240 you behind your back. Did you see him the clock creep. 0:06:30.760 --> 0:06:31.800 Or a word that rhyme with that. 0:06:34.080 --> 0:06:37.160 They have clock creep, which means he does reset it 0:06:37.200 --> 0:06:39.000 and he tries to keep the right time, but over 0:06:39.080 --> 0:06:41.800 time it creeps out. You're kidding And I said, well, 0:06:41.800 --> 0:06:43.640 it's up to six minutes. He said that is bad. 0:06:43.680 --> 0:06:46.120 I don't usually let it get that bad. So as 0:06:46.160 --> 0:06:49.680 of yesterday afternoon he had reset the clock. He's actually 0:06:49.720 --> 0:06:51.800 I noticed this morning gone a minute under, so it's 0:06:51.800 --> 0:06:52.640 a minute slow. 0:06:52.800 --> 0:06:57.960 Now, Oh my back in there this afternoon, guys Xavier here, 0:06:58.000 --> 0:06:59.359 I think I can hear him on the phone out there. 0:06:59.360 --> 0:07:01.160 Tell him it's Jack the clock creep. 0:07:01.240 --> 0:07:05.080 You'll know who I am, you know. So if you're 0:07:05.120 --> 0:07:08.240 driving past the Fort Knock self storage on Hardelberg Road today, 0:07:08.520 --> 0:07:13.040 notice that it is one minute flow, especially if you're 0:07:13.080 --> 0:07:14.560 used to it being fast and you think you've got 0:07:14.560 --> 0:07:15.840 an extra six minutes sleeve. 0:07:15.920 --> 0:07:18.280 Now, if anythink, I think what you've done is caused 0:07:18.320 --> 0:07:21.360 more chaos because they've probably got used to it and 0:07:21.400 --> 0:07:24.800 set their morta morning routine around it. Now I'm worried 0:07:24.840 --> 0:07:26.920 that they're going to see that slow down or speed up. 0:07:26.960 --> 0:07:28.800 Well, I expected him to correct it to the to 0:07:28.840 --> 0:07:30.840 the right time. What I think he's done is giving 0:07:30.920 --> 0:07:33.560 himself a free minute because he knows it's going to creep, and. 0:07:33.400 --> 0:07:36.880 He's adjusting it for the clock creep, the inevitable creep. 0:07:37.200 --> 0:07:38.880 He's building creep time into it. 0:07:39.640 --> 0:07:40.640 So I'll keep an eye on it. 0:07:41.880 --> 0:07:45.120 I don't worry. I was sued that you'd be keeping 0:07:45.160 --> 0:07:49.720 eye on it. No, please do keep us updated unsubscribed. 0:07:50.840 --> 0:07:54.320 This is the Christian O'Connell show podcast. 0:07:54.480 --> 0:07:59.160 It's Christian O'Connell's show. Two days ago, I was talking 0:07:59.160 --> 0:08:02.520 about how food going. Victoria is running out of food now. 0:08:02.520 --> 0:08:04.640 The last time they were doing what they're going to 0:08:04.640 --> 0:08:06.480 be doing this weekend. What we need your help to 0:08:06.520 --> 0:08:10.360 support and emergency food drive was in twenty nineteen. Twenty 0:08:10.440 --> 0:08:12.600 nineteen when it was the bushfires and people really needed 0:08:12.640 --> 0:08:15.720 help in affected areas. We're back in that situation. A 0:08:15.720 --> 0:08:18.080 lot of people with the cost of living sky high 0:08:18.120 --> 0:08:20.080 at the moment, and a lot of people still haven't 0:08:20.600 --> 0:08:25.520 reset themselves in the wake of COVID and food Bank Victoria. 0:08:25.600 --> 0:08:29.640 It is astonishing. They're trying to feed sixty five thousand 0:08:29.720 --> 0:08:33.199 people a day who can't afford basic grocery items. We're 0:08:33.200 --> 0:08:37.640 talking about tunas, pasta, sauce, rice, cereals, long life mealk. 0:08:37.720 --> 0:08:40.520 So this weekend, if you can help, it would be 0:08:40.600 --> 0:08:44.280 absolutely amazing. They really do need urgent help actions. So 0:08:44.360 --> 0:08:48.559 this weekend they're doing a food bank drop in Yarraville 0:08:48.600 --> 0:08:52.080 on Somerville Roads all day tomorrow all day Sunday, ten 0:08:52.120 --> 0:08:55.240 am to three pm.

Every one on this team. 0:09:33.600 --> 0:09:36.880 Yesterday we all went to our separate supermarkets and I 0:09:36.920 --> 0:09:40.480 took my seventeen year old daughter and got we got 0:09:40.480 --> 0:09:43.400 these items. And I'm telling you now, it's a lovely 0:09:43.480 --> 0:09:45.840 thing to be to donate and support a charity. Okay, 0:09:45.880 --> 0:09:47.920 it is. It's a real act of generosity how much 0:09:47.960 --> 0:09:51.240 you can give. But going and doing something actually physically 0:09:51.240 --> 0:09:56.000 with the hands, yes, going down there holding the pasta 0:09:56.120 --> 0:09:58.480 and the pasta sauces and actually, I don't know, we 0:09:58.559 --> 0:10:02.080 felt it was humbling. Appreciate my meal last night, and 0:10:02.120 --> 0:10:04.840 it made me just think, I send to my daughter this, 0:10:04.600 --> 0:10:06.400 This will help someone we're never going to meet for 0:10:06.440 --> 0:10:08.360 the next couple of weeks. That makes you feel really 0:10:08.360 --> 0:10:10.160 good physically doing it. Yeah. 0:10:10.360 --> 0:10:13.520 I think it's definitely a different experience in donating through 0:10:13.559 --> 0:10:17.160 a website or over a like over the phone, is 0:10:17.200 --> 0:10:20.200 that you actually are picking up things like pasta and 0:10:20.320 --> 0:10:24.400 rice and bear essentials and thinking, wow, how painful would 0:10:24.400 --> 0:10:26.959 it be if we couldn't provide such simple things and 0:10:27.720 --> 0:10:30.400 essential foods for our family. And we did. We did 0:10:30.400 --> 0:10:32.360 it as a group as well, and Gordy even had 0:10:32.360 --> 0:10:34.880 his little shopping bag and was putting a lot of 0:10:34.880 --> 0:10:37.880 stuff on the bottom row end. So there's while we 0:10:37.960 --> 0:10:39.839 got the bear of Centrals and the tuna and the 0:10:39.920 --> 0:10:42.440 rice and the pasta. Gordy also through in the musli 0:10:42.480 --> 0:10:44.880 bars and the snacks. 0:10:45.880 --> 0:10:48.080 Well that's on Gordy. Okay, stick a little note on there, 0:10:48.120 --> 0:10:50.120 and that's on two year old Gordy. Do it with 0:10:50.160 --> 0:10:53.040 your family actually after school today or over the weekend. 0:10:53.400 --> 0:10:55.480 I think it's really important to know that actually how 0:10:55.520 --> 0:10:58.120 we can help people sometimes is it's a simple thing 0:10:58.120 --> 0:11:00.840 of giving someone some food. And you know, the thought 0:11:00.880 --> 0:11:03.120 of actually people opening up their punch at the weekend 0:11:03.160 --> 0:11:05.080 and worrying all the fridge and worrying about where the 0:11:05.120 --> 0:11:07.760 next meal is coming must be so terrifying. And Food 0:11:07.760 --> 0:11:10.280 Bank was saying it isn't obviously just homeless people that 0:11:10.360 --> 0:11:13.240 these sixty five thousand people a day they can't afford 0:11:13.280 --> 0:11:16.320 their basic food shopping. It's actually a lot of professionals. 0:11:16.360 --> 0:11:19.880 There's mainly professionals who have jobs. We're talking about single parents. 0:11:19.880 --> 0:11:22.120 So if you can help this weekend, and it really 0:11:22.160 --> 0:11:24.880 is like pasta rise and stuff like that, you can 0:11:24.960 --> 0:11:26.480 drop it off here. At the radio station. You can 0:11:26.520 --> 0:11:29.559 find out more on our social pages and at Foodbank 0:11:29.679 --> 0:11:31.560 dot Org as well. You can find out there.

All right, Double 0:12:10.480 --> 0:12:12.280 thumbs up, Jackie boy, what are you enjoying? 0:12:12.320 --> 0:12:14.240 I'm just got to say hats off to stand this 0:12:14.360 --> 0:12:19.080 week for running the unlimited ad free Olympics coverage. I 0:12:19.160 --> 0:12:21.000 love getting in front of the TV and not having 0:12:21.000 --> 0:12:23.520 to think one ounce of energy on what we're going 0:12:23.559 --> 0:12:23.920 to watch it. 0:12:23.960 --> 0:12:25.760 Because every night it's a battle. It isn't my house. 0:12:25.800 --> 0:12:28.240 We've got the teenager what she wants to watch, and 0:12:28.280 --> 0:12:30.560 then it's my wife, and then it's me, and it's 0:12:30.720 --> 0:12:33.559 it's so stressful. Oh no, we always watched that. Well, 0:12:33.559 --> 0:12:35.240 when we watch your show, while we got to watch 0:12:35.320 --> 0:12:36.679 your show and your tea's got cold. 0:12:36.800 --> 0:12:38.920 And I also get overwhelmed with starting a new show. 0:12:38.920 --> 0:12:41.200 It's like, what are we getting ourselves into? How many 0:12:41.200 --> 0:12:45.199 hours are we committing to our upcoming future weeks by starting. 0:12:45.160 --> 0:12:47.439 Let's just still worry about that clock, the Knox clock 0:12:47.480 --> 0:12:49.160 and when' zach Creep going to come back? 0:12:49.520 --> 0:12:51.920 So sitting down and watching the Olympics every night has 0:12:51.960 --> 0:12:56.000 been a godsend for us. My highlights over the last 0:12:56.000 --> 0:13:00.240 two weeks say Asaki Gabbara on the bmx I. On 0:13:00.320 --> 0:13:03.120 Friday night, when I was watching the replay of the 0:13:03.160 --> 0:13:06.600 sixty minutes interview with her, I jumped onto her Instagram 0:13:06.640 --> 0:13:09.880 page and started following her. At sixty thousand followers, she's 0:13:09.920 --> 0:13:13.240 up to one hundred and twenty four thousand followers after 0:13:13.280 --> 0:13:14.320 that Saturday. 0:13:13.920 --> 0:13:16.199 Morning where she won. She's going to be a Hue star. 0:13:16.400 --> 0:13:19.040 She's so likable and charismatic such a brother Kai. 0:13:19.440 --> 0:13:22.960 And then I watched again Nina Kennedy's pole volt achievement 0:13:23.160 --> 0:13:26.280 yesterday and watched this clip of her. I think we 0:13:26.360 --> 0:13:29.760 sometimes take for granted that not all athletes are able 0:13:29.800 --> 0:13:34.560 to support themselves between Olympics just by competing in their events. 0:13:34.720 --> 0:13:37.720 So she can't hold pole volt as a full time job. 0:13:37.960 --> 0:13:40.360 So she said she had to choose between, well, do 0:13:40.440 --> 0:13:42.080 I go and get a job and then do this 0:13:42.160 --> 0:13:44.440 part time, or do I live on a shoe string 0:13:44.600 --> 0:13:48.120 so that I can put the proper training into being 0:13:48.120 --> 0:13:51.600 to train and win this gold medal. So she put 0:13:51.640 --> 0:13:54.079 all her eggs in one basket, which was I'm going 0:13:54.120 --> 0:13:56.640 to live frugally and then try to win this gold 0:13:56.679 --> 0:13:58.880 medal and if it doesn't work, I really got nothing 0:13:58.960 --> 0:14:00.720 to fall back on. And she's done it. 0:14:00.720 --> 0:14:03.520 It was incredible. Of all the reactions to people winning gold, 0:14:04.000 --> 0:14:07.640 her reaction, you got it. You could see she it 0:14:07.679 --> 0:14:11.080 wasn't that she was shocked. She kept sort of having 0:14:11.080 --> 0:14:12.760 an awareness that I've done it. I've done it. I've 0:14:12.760 --> 0:14:14.720 done it. And I guess in her mind's eye, she's 0:14:14.720 --> 0:14:17.480 going back to all that dedication, as is it going 0:14:17.520 --> 0:14:18.040 to pay. 0:14:19.040 --> 0:14:21.640 Gold focused yea for four years in a row. 0:14:21.840 --> 0:14:24.200 Now it's amazing. So there's all these highlights and there's 0:14:24.200 --> 0:14:27.800 still another three days left and then the amazing closing 0:14:27.880 --> 0:14:30.000 ceremony that does involve. Have you heard about what Tom 0:14:30.040 --> 0:14:30.560 Cruise has done? 0:14:30.680 --> 0:14:31.720 I know he's doing something. 0:14:31.760 --> 0:14:34.600 This is incredible. So he's already recorded his bit. She 0:14:34.600 --> 0:14:38.000 remember the closing ceremony. They always do something to hand over. 0:14:37.840 --> 0:14:40.360 To the next. 0:14:39.240 --> 0:14:41.960 Olympics before his time is going to be in La. 0:14:42.480 --> 0:14:45.480 Tom Cruise came up with this idea, filmed it himself, 0:14:45.680 --> 0:14:48.400 stars it himself in a very dynamic Tom Cruise way. 0:14:48.480 --> 0:14:51.600 But if anyone embodies the spirit of La and Hollywood, 0:14:51.880 --> 0:14:52.560 it's Tom. 0:14:52.400 --> 0:14:54.120 Cruise's jumping off the. 0:14:54.880 --> 0:14:58.760 Abseled down the Stad de France himself and he takes 0:14:58.760 --> 0:15:01.360 the flag and then he f over to Hollywood and 0:15:01.440 --> 0:15:05.480 he parachutes onto the Hollywood Sign perfect. I cannot wait 0:15:05.760 --> 0:15:07.880 to see that. Apparently was saying he no one would 0:15:08.000 --> 0:15:11.040 ensure him because he's incredibly dangerous to abseil down it. 0:15:11.080 --> 0:15:14.120 And it's because he's obviously a high profile act as well. 0:15:14.360 --> 0:15:16.320 He put I think he put his own deposit of 0:15:16.360 --> 0:15:20.800 ten million to ensure himself to do this crazy stunt. 0:15:20.960 --> 0:15:23.520 And also he is gotting on a bit. You know, 0:15:23.600 --> 0:15:26.840 he's not a professional climb or abseller, but he's repelled 0:15:26.880 --> 0:15:29.440 down the Stad de France in Paris. I cannot wait 0:15:29.480 --> 0:15:30.080 to see that side. 0:15:30.520 --> 0:15:32.840 Olympics is going to be amazing in four years time. 0:15:33.000 --> 0:15:36.400 And then good luck Brisbane. I mean, what are they 0:15:36.400 --> 0:15:39.920 going to have Barnsey picking up the flag singing on 0:15:40.000 --> 0:15:43.360 top of the four X brewery? I mean, Brisbane, the 0:15:43.360 --> 0:15:45.480 pressure is going to be on Is because Paris has 0:15:45.520 --> 0:15:48.400 look stunning and then you go Lai, look wonderful, and 0:15:48.440 --> 0:15:52.840 then you go Brisbane. How many bridges did that place got? All? 0:15:52.960 --> 0:15:53.080 Right? 0:15:53.120 --> 0:15:55.960 Things that I've enjoyed at the moment on Netflix, one 0:15:56.040 --> 0:15:59.440 thing an outstanding documentary with the whole family watched talking 0:15:59.440 --> 0:16:02.640 about trying to on a TV show. Is a Netflix documentary. 0:16:02.680 --> 0:16:06.520 It's absolutely brilliant. It's called Mountain Queen The Summits of 0:16:06.640 --> 0:16:10.600 Lackper Sherpa. This is a Nepalese woman who became the 0:16:10.640 --> 0:16:14.960 first woman in the world to climb and survive Everest. 0:16:15.080 --> 0:16:18.160 It's an amazing documentary. She went on to do it 0:16:18.200 --> 0:16:21.920 ten times because obviously the camera work these days looks stunning. 0:16:22.200 --> 0:16:23.760 You watch it on your TV for the hour and 0:16:23.800 --> 0:16:26.360 a half of this documentary. It isn't just about mountain climbing. 0:16:26.640 --> 0:16:29.560 It's someone born with no advantages actually, who still went 0:16:29.600 --> 0:16:32.240 on to have a remarkable life and had some real 0:16:32.240 --> 0:16:34.280 stuff going on her personal life as well. It's an 0:16:34.280 --> 0:16:37.680 amazing documentary. You won't move from the couch for the 0:16:37.760 --> 0:16:40.480 ninety two minutes of this. You are transfixed with it. 0:16:40.480 --> 0:16:43.600 It looks visually stunning. There's something about the way it's 0:16:43.600 --> 0:16:45.080 filmed in four K and what it looks like on 0:16:45.080 --> 0:16:48.880 a TV, and then you forget it's incredibly dangerous. A 0:16:48.920 --> 0:16:51.040 lot of people die every day trying to get up 0:16:51.080 --> 0:16:52.800 there to become the first woman to do it, and 0:16:52.800 --> 0:16:54.680 then she does it nine more times as well to 0:16:55.120 --> 0:16:58.560 send It's an amazing story in documentary.
