1 00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:12,080 Speaker 1: Everybody's cutting real fo everybody stun's cutting real flood. It's 2 00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:26,079 Speaker 1: the tiny real food. So we've been vibing on the 3 00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:29,360 Speaker 1: Olympics there, Jack. Have you been enjoying the Olympics. Is 4 00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:31,200 Speaker 1: there a sport that you thought, Oh yeah, I could 5 00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:32,960 Speaker 1: do that. Yeah, all of it. 6 00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:34,720 Speaker 2: I thought I could say, you got very well, but 7 00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:35,280 Speaker 2: I could do it. 8 00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:36,160 Speaker 1: You give it a crack. 9 00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:39,560 Speaker 2: Yeah. And you were telling me off Mike that your 10 00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:41,479 Speaker 2: favorites being the women's beach volleyball. 11 00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:44,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, well it's very nice, athletic young ladies. I don't 12 00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:47,440 Speaker 1: think there's a problem with that. Yeah, you were telling 13 00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:50,120 Speaker 1: me that you like the men's beach boy. There's nothing wrong, 14 00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:53,040 Speaker 1: I guess for the same reasons. And I don't judge 15 00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,040 Speaker 1: you in any way, mate. No, you're want to look 16 00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:57,400 Speaker 1: at toned Brazilian men, that's fine by me. 17 00:00:57,560 --> 00:00:59,240 Speaker 2: And you came in here with a cast around your 18 00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:01,320 Speaker 2: wrisk Yeah. 19 00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:04,640 Speaker 1: Well that's a motorcycle accident. Yeah, and you came in 20 00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 1: with Harry palms. I was we can continue doing this 21 00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 1: all day, or we could talk about the Olympics. It's 22 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:16,040 Speaker 1: interesting in the letters to the editor, and I know 23 00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:17,800 Speaker 1: you're of a certain age. You probably don't read the 24 00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:21,880 Speaker 1: letters to the editor, but this man, Scott Thomas of Newington, 25 00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:25,280 Speaker 1: has written to the newspaper One for the little guy. 26 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:29,640 Speaker 1: I'm adapting how I imagine Scott Thomas would sound. I am 27 00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:33,600 Speaker 1: constantly seeing the same Olympians. So what about Joe Blow, 28 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,960 Speaker 1: who comes from a small town, who has no sponsorship, 29 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:39,800 Speaker 1: who got beaten in the first round of their chosen 30 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:44,040 Speaker 1: sport and their games are over. The local RSL Lions 31 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:47,240 Speaker 1: clubs and schools had hundreds of sausage sizzles to raise 32 00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:51,280 Speaker 1: money so Joe could train and represent their town. Joe 33 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:53,520 Speaker 1: went to the local school and represents the dreams of 34 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 1: hundreds of kids in the district. Blah blah blah. Joe 35 00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 1: won't have any interviews, book deals, guest appearances on talk shows, 36 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 1: and so they won't get their face on a postage. 37 00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:04,960 Speaker 1: Damp Joe won't get the best seat in the restaurant. 38 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:08,400 Speaker 1: There are four hundred and sixty three Olympians on our team. Well, 39 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 1: all I'm seeing is the same handful of athletes. I 40 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:14,320 Speaker 1: feel we have lost the true Olympic meaning, give Joe 41 00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:18,680 Speaker 1: Blow a go, right Scott there, I'm just going back 42 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 1: to my normal voice. Just so we're separating. Yeah, that's 43 00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 1: that's what the Olympics are about. They're not celebrating mediocrity. 44 00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:27,679 Speaker 1: And in life many people try to do things and 45 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:28,880 Speaker 1: they don't get there. 46 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 2: Yeah. I feel like it's a hypothetical that it would 47 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,120 Speaker 2: be interesting for five minutes until Yeah, and it's just 48 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:36,919 Speaker 2: like going to the local dog park and seeing kids 49 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 2: running around. 50 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 1: Exactly, and all those kids, you know, they might be 51 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,960 Speaker 1: great people. And sure there's plenty hopes and dreams that 52 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,519 Speaker 1: have been crushed. But I think our old mate Scott 53 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:48,000 Speaker 1: is barking up the wrong tree. 54 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 2: I agree, Well, why doesn't he go to why does 55 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,040 Speaker 2: the s marks and watch the local kids athletics carnival? 56 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 2: Then well I'll talk about Joe Blow. 57 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 1: That could be. 58 00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 2: That could be a yeah, you do that every week. 59 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 2: You don't give a damn about athletics. I'm just there 60 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:07,040 Speaker 2: to watch, pretend and your ankle monitor starts going off. 61 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,600 Speaker 1: Potential. Joe might have a good point though. Just with that, 62 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:15,200 Speaker 1: there's been this theory that the Hunger Game Olympics could 63 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:18,440 Speaker 1: be put out so normal people get a letter and 64 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,680 Speaker 1: like that you have to compete in a sporting event. Yeah, 65 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:23,440 Speaker 1: what about that? So you're at home. 66 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:25,640 Speaker 2: You used to get out of work and you get 67 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 2: to call up like Jeury duty. 68 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:31,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, and you get a call up. So Jack citizen 69 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 1: that's you sitting at home, gets a letter all of 70 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:35,800 Speaker 1: a sudden you have to go over to Paris and 71 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 1: you've got to compete in the javelin. 72 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 2: Well, I'd be happy as long as I wasn't swimming 73 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:44,120 Speaker 2: in that bloody river. So give me the athletics events. 74 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 1: That would be the one, you'd say, which I'll do 75 00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:49,240 Speaker 1: everything but swim in the river. 76 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 2: Seat you'd be pissed, Like your friend gets fencing, and 77 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:54,320 Speaker 2: then you get the bloody triathlon you got. 78 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,080 Speaker 1: That'd be good, not only that you swim in that 79 00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,080 Speaker 1: cesspid And then you've got to write a pushbike and 80 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 1: your budget smugglers. Gosh, there's like a chafing. 81 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 2: Pushback forcing all that waste stuff back into you. 82 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 1: And where does it stop? 83 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 2: Where did it stop? 84 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 1: I was going to say it works for our jury system, 85 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:11,840 Speaker 1: but it doesn't really. You just get common man and 86 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 1: our legal system works. 87 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 2: So well, yeah, yeah, it does well. The Hunger Games 88 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,839 Speaker 2: isn't exactly a model society that you're paralleling it to, 89 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:20,080 Speaker 2: so it doesn't help your case. 90 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,560 Speaker 1: It doesn't end well, maybe we should give it up 91 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:26,000 Speaker 1: for Joe blow. Yeah, the Joe blow in all of us, yes, 92 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 1: the little guy. Okay, kids, stop it for today, Come 93 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 1: back tomorrow from Laura Josey and the man is gone. 94 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:34,120 Speaker 2: Room for it.
