Also, the last time Riah Carey 178 00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:48,800 Speaker 4: sung live. 179 00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:52,439 Speaker 2: Hackg and we got to stop down? Do you think 180 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:52,800 Speaker 2: that she was? 181 00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:56,200 Speaker 4: Mimi So So, a dear friend of the pod who's 182 00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:58,160 Speaker 4: come on and hosted before, went to R and B 183 00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:01,439 Speaker 4: Fridays again. Let's talk about people that were born in 184 00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:05,320 Speaker 4: nineteen eighty and she said, it was very obvious that 185 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:08,360 Speaker 4: our dear friend wasn't singing live, and the words were 186 00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:13,439 Speaker 4: also very prominently on the prompter. And there is if 187 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,480 Speaker 4: you delve into that area of the internet, lots of 188 00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:17,640 Speaker 4: questions about whether. 189 00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:18,480 Speaker 2: Mariah was singing live. 190 00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:22,040 Speaker 4: To be fair, not from not from your host, not 191 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:26,800 Speaker 4: from either of us, from friend, from the pod. 192 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:29,160 Speaker 2: We will welcome Mariah. 193 00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:32,000 Speaker 4: I'm sure that she is a third good sport, but 194 00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:33,960 Speaker 4: there is controversy about whether or not she's saying. And 195 00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:35,360 Speaker 4: I just thought that was a good opportunity to bring 196 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:38,120 Speaker 4: it in. But good five and a half spins. 197 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:40,120 Speaker 1: Five and a half spins technical term five and a 198 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:41,640 Speaker 1: half spins. It's the ramp. 199 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:43,720 Speaker 2: Oh don't don't you know? 200 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:43,920 Speaker 1: How? 201 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:45,120 Speaker 2: Will you know how? 202 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:48,560 Speaker 1: I our eyes start watering and we our hearts fall 203 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,040 Speaker 1: out of our chest when we just consider the kaya 204 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:53,959 Speaker 1: cross drop into the ocean. 205 00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:57,800 Speaker 4: Full disclosure, Georgie has a fear of heights. I've gone skydiving, 206 00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:01,560 Speaker 4: so we are on different and of the spectrum in 207 00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:05,120 Speaker 4: terms of level. Though this is insane because Rob essentially 208 00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,160 Speaker 4: tried to propost you on a ski lift and instead 209 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:08,000 Speaker 4: you hated. 210 00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,080 Speaker 2: It, hated it. I was white knuckling the whole way down. 211 00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:12,160 Speaker 2: I thought we were going to die. And he kept 212 00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:12,920 Speaker 2: being romantic. 213 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:14,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, he kept moving around trying to find the ring, 214 00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:17,839 Speaker 1: and I was like, are you trying. 215 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:22,360 Speaker 2: To kill us? What are you doing? And then he 216 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:24,600 Speaker 2: was like, oh, maybe I've missed the moment. Yeah. 217 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:25,640 Speaker 4: Yeah. 218 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,600 Speaker 2: I was like, I just know you, I just know 219 00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:29,240 Speaker 2: you so well. 220 00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:33,679 Speaker 4: But I thought I'd take you up somewhere really high and. 221 00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:36,199 Speaker 2: It'll be fine. It'll be fine. But the big air structure, gentleman, 222 00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:36,680 Speaker 2: you're right. 223 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:41,120 Speaker 1: It has a peak height of forty meters, a twenty 224 00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:44,600 Speaker 1: eight percent gradient, It's two hundred and twenty five meters long, 225 00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:47,800 Speaker 1: and when athletes can stick the landing, so when Valentino 226 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:52,360 Speaker 1: landed those five and a half spins, his board was probably. 227 00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:55,320 Speaker 2: Hitting the ground at sixty kilometers an hour. That's gross. 228 00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:56,679 Speaker 2: That's too fast, isn't it. 229 00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,400 Speaker 4: And as as we go to air, not to lift 230 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:02,160 Speaker 4: the veil on when we record this test. Cody, who 231 00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:05,440 Speaker 4: of course won bronze in Beijing, is currently having a 232 00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:07,320 Speaker 4: crack in the women's And the other thing is we 233 00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:10,600 Speaker 4: are going to get to see Valentino Guselli again, because 234 00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:13,040 Speaker 4: he did eventually make his way through to the final. 235 00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:16,240 Speaker 4: He stuck one out of the three jumps. Usually two 236 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:17,920 Speaker 4: out of three a bad, but you want to stick 237 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:19,599 Speaker 4: at least two out of three if you're going to 238 00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:20,120 Speaker 4: make it through. 239 00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:21,160 Speaker 2: So five he did. 240 00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:23,840 Speaker 4: His good run was in the middle, so with the 241 00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,120 Speaker 4: final running out, a chance to potentially make the podium, 242 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:28,360 Speaker 4: and just didn't pull it off. But what we love 243 00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:31,480 Speaker 4: about him is his dad is his coach, and it 244 00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:36,240 Speaker 4: was so romantic that his parents his grandparents are Italian 245 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,280 Speaker 4: and he was like, I'm getting to represent the country 246 00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:42,520 Speaker 4: that I love and that I live in in Australia, 247 00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:44,840 Speaker 4: from the country where I'm from. 248 00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:47,280 Speaker 1: And he's also he's the embodiment of go big or 249 00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:51,080 Speaker 1: go home. He wasn't meant to be in that event. 250 00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,480 Speaker 1: He was a late minute call out. He somehow gets 251 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:55,560 Speaker 1: through to the final. 252 00:11:56,240 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 2: Dressed with three hours notice. No genuine this guy. No 253 00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:03,679 Speaker 2: you can't. Ralph Lauren, mate, you definitely can't. I want 254 00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:06,480 Speaker 2: to know what hour I got up? No, what do 255 00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:08,600 Speaker 2: you mean I know? 256 00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:10,480 Speaker 1: And he's just like ready to go, ready to take 257 00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:12,400 Speaker 1: on the world. Let's find let's go to the final. 258 00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:14,120 Speaker 2: Twelfth. You're sure, no worries, I got it up. This 259 00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:14,760 Speaker 2: is easy. 260 00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:18,560 Speaker 1: Noes no worries, no worries, but we are going to 261 00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:20,600 Speaker 1: see him in of course, the half pipe, which is 262 00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:24,080 Speaker 1: what he was in this team to compete in in 263 00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:26,680 Speaker 1: the first place, which I am very very excited about 264 00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:28,680 Speaker 1: because he has had some good form going into this 265 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:30,559 Speaker 1: and it is all coming off the back of him 266 00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:33,280 Speaker 1: doing his ACL last season, which makes everything just that 267 00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:34,440 Speaker 1: little bit more impressive. 268 00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:37,160 Speaker 4: We love ACLS and we're getting onto that story next. However, 269 00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:41,520 Speaker 4: if you want to watch Valentendo Guseli with a little 270 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:44,080 Speaker 4: known up and comer Scottie James that he is not 271 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:47,680 Speaker 4: heard of him this coming Wednesday at five thirty am, 272 00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:51,640 Speaker 4: that is that's that's a reasonable hour. My theory with 273 00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,199 Speaker 4: viewing hours, Georgie is that if people are coming home 274 00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:57,079 Speaker 4: from nightclubs and or getting up to go to the gym, 275 00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:59,079 Speaker 4: that is a reasonable hour to be watching sport. 276 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:00,640 Speaker 2: There is there there's a. 277 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:03,000 Speaker 4: Blackout of about four hours there where you're like, no, 278 00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:04,720 Speaker 4: I don't know if I can be doing two thirty. 279 00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:05,960 Speaker 2: I don't know if I can be doing that. But 280 00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:09,800 Speaker 2: if it's anywhere to one am and after five, you 281 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:10,560 Speaker 2: better get up. 282 00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:13,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I think I'm really looking forward to that 283 00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:15,360 Speaker 1: one because of course, Scotty James. 284 00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:16,680 Speaker 2: I'm so excited to see what he does. 285 00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:20,000 Speaker 1: He just continues to be the most lovable athlete at 286 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:21,920 Speaker 1: this game, which is saying something because I already think 287 00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:23,560 Speaker 1: all of them are really cool. Did you see his 288 00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:27,120 Speaker 1: beautiful quote where we can't play it because we can't 289 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:28,000 Speaker 1: play bloody anything? 290 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,000 Speaker 2: That happened in no Ozembic village, But. 291 00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:35,360 Speaker 4: He says, I was driving into the village and I 292 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,120 Speaker 4: saw the half pipe with my family in the back, 293 00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:40,800 Speaker 4: and instead of feeling any form of anxiety, I just 294 00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:44,040 Speaker 4: looked at it and thought, what an amazing opportunity. And 295 00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:46,720 Speaker 4: there he is, glowing in his green and gold, looking 296 00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:49,360 Speaker 4: the picture of health, and I just think he's in 297 00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:54,160 Speaker 4: a place where he's going to absolutely send it. So 298 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:56,800 Speaker 4: I am. I'm so ready to see what he can 299 00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,439 Speaker 4: bring out. So again, that is on Wednesday morning. But Georgie, 300 00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:02,800 Speaker 4: you mentioned acl and arguably one of the biggest, if 301 00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:05,520 Speaker 4: not the biggest story of this Games has centered around 302 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:10,600 Speaker 4: American downhill skier Lindsey Vonn. Now, this woman is forty one, 303 00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:16,240 Speaker 4: going to her fifth Games, having previously retired because she 304 00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:19,080 Speaker 4: had I don't know, a full knee construction, which I 305 00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:22,720 Speaker 4: hear is quite important when you're doing downhill skiing. But 306 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,920 Speaker 4: now I'm questioning if nies are important at all when 307 00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:28,440 Speaker 4: you're doing downhill skiing, because a week out from the 308 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:32,040 Speaker 4: game starting, she has, in her terms, completely destroyed her 309 00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:34,960 Speaker 4: ACL on her good knee. We have a titanium knee 310 00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:37,000 Speaker 4: to the right, we have one with no ACL to 311 00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:38,840 Speaker 4: the left. And she has come out and done this 312 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:44,080 Speaker 4: extraordinary press conference saying, you know, I basically nothing is 313 00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:46,400 Speaker 4: working in my body, but I if there is a 314 00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:48,080 Speaker 4: chance I'm going to compete. 315 00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:53,160 Speaker 1: What Yeah, I know, I know when I mean Gelby 316 00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:55,560 Speaker 1: not to let you fail back too much here, but 317 00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:57,960 Speaker 1: I think you know, our dear listeners are aware that 318 00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:01,880 Speaker 1: I fall over standing up straight with two allegedly functioning 319 00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:08,960 Speaker 1: these So the thoughts of throwing yourself downhill with the 320 00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:11,880 Speaker 1: titanium knee, I don't understand. 321 00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:13,960 Speaker 2: I don't physically understand how it is possible. 322 00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:17,200 Speaker 1: And she has been pretty firm against any of the 323 00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:21,120 Speaker 1: critics who've come out for her. We do have an update, though, 324 00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:24,640 Speaker 1: and I'm intrigued to see how she will be feeling now, 325 00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:26,760 Speaker 1: because Lindsay vonn was very, very sure that she was 326 00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:29,560 Speaker 1: going to be able to compete in the downhill event 327 00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:34,200 Speaker 1: without an ACL, a ruptured ACL, a half leg hanging off, 328 00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:35,720 Speaker 1: and she's like, no, no, this is going to be fine. 329 00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:38,880 Speaker 1: She's posting all of those that vision to her own socials. 330 00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:40,920 Speaker 1: We saw her in the gym. She seemed to be 331 00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:41,760 Speaker 1: going okay. 332 00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:45,320 Speaker 2: She was able to complete two practice runs. Yes, and 333 00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:46,280 Speaker 2: she eleventh. 334 00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:49,520 Speaker 4: She is a previous gold medalist in this event, so like, 335 00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:51,960 Speaker 4: she's no hack.

They really do, 458 00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:08,600 Speaker 1: Because the power to face. 459 00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:10,880 Speaker 2: Plan at any opportunity in any of. 460 00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:13,880 Speaker 1: These sports, I just am so concerned for all of them, 461 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,480 Speaker 1: all of them. Speaking of another thing that looks like 462 00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:19,960 Speaker 1: I think it has been concocted in a lab of 463 00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:22,640 Speaker 1: ultimate horrors. For if you and I were ever competing 464 00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:24,280 Speaker 1: in it would be the snowboard cross. 465 00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:29,520 Speaker 4: They shove each other while snowboarding can't overjump. Actually they're 466 00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:31,760 Speaker 4: mid air and they're still trying to shove each other. 467 00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:37,200 Speaker 1: If we could snowboard, you and I old elbows McGee, we'd. 468 00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:37,720 Speaker 2: Be all right at this. 469 00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:41,520 Speaker 4: I'd be aggressive, you'd be aggressive. Yeah, I would try 470 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:42,879 Speaker 4: to take someone out and jump. But whether I have 471 00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:45,080 Speaker 4: the skill to do it is the next question. If 472 00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:48,480 Speaker 4: you haven't seen the snowboard cross, Australia traditionally perform really 473 00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:50,960 Speaker 4: well in the snowboard cross. It's something that we always 474 00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:54,359 Speaker 4: have athletes and the late great Jumpy Pullen with someone 475 00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:56,439 Speaker 4: who was a star in this as well. But we 476 00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:58,959 Speaker 4: have a man that's name is very easy to remember, 477 00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:02,240 Speaker 4: Adam Lambert, lead singer of Queen. 478 00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:04,560 Speaker 2: Where does he find the time? Where does he find 479 00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:04,840 Speaker 2: the time? 480 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:06,800 Speaker 4: Although he's not the lead singer of he's a twenty 481 00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:09,840 Speaker 4: eight year old Australian who this is the exciting part. 482 00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:13,399 Speaker 4: He claimed his first World Cup gold at the last 483 00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:16,720 Speaker 4: event before these Games, which made it three back to 484 00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:19,600 Speaker 4: back podiums to finish the season on fire. So we 485 00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:23,200 Speaker 4: love in form athletes heading into the Games. 486 00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:24,640 Speaker 2: And he is bulletproof. 487 00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:28,119 Speaker 1: He's the innest of the form, Adam Lambert. But you're 488 00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:32,720 Speaker 1: also going to have Cam Bolton who's a four time Gamesman. Yes, 489 00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:34,360 Speaker 1: I've just come up with that term. 490 00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:37,080 Speaker 2: That's what he means because you can't say ozon, I. 491 00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:40,760 Speaker 1: Can't say oseempicon, So he is a gamesman. And then 492 00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:43,440 Speaker 1: also Jared Hughes is one to watch too, who is 493 00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:47,159 Speaker 1: a twenty eighteen silver medallist. So this is a stacked event, 494 00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:50,440 Speaker 1: stacked event for the Aussies. You can watch it, watch 495 00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:52,320 Speaker 1: it just again, fun of it true, watch it for 496 00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:56,399 Speaker 1: the fun, watch it for the fun.

It's 583 00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:33,040 Speaker 4: very hydrating to give false temporary enlargement to the crutch 584 00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:37,639 Speaker 4: area to allow them to qualify to wear larger suits. 585 00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:42,320 Speaker 2: Because even a two centimeter difference in material in the 586 00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:46,560 Speaker 2: crutch region can lead to a six meter longer jump 587 00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:48,520 Speaker 2: over the entire distance. 588 00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:52,760 Speaker 4: And when you're talking about fifty centimeters, sometimes deciding who 589 00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:55,680 Speaker 4: gets golden who gets silver, this is cheating of the 590 00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:58,640 Speaker 4: highest order. But is it uncomfortable to talk about in 591 00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:01,760 Speaker 4: mainstream media? And the best thing is they had a 592 00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:05,000 Speaker 4: press conference and they had the head of the antidoping 593 00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,560 Speaker 4: association sitting there and someone's put their hand up and gone, 594 00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:09,760 Speaker 4: what do you think about the penis injections? 595 00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:13,719 Speaker 2: And he goes, would you do? It? Was a response. 596 00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:20,880 Speaker 1: This story that we solve things on this podcast, and 597 00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:24,440 Speaker 1: we have solved the overall debate if size matters and 598 00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:25,800 Speaker 1: that is just sport. 599 00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:28,600 Speaker 2: That's sport, and we figured it out. 600 00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:31,040 Speaker 1: And thank you for the Winter Games for bringing this 601 00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:32,800 Speaker 1: to our attention. I cannot believe that this is an 602 00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:34,440 Speaker 1: investigation at a real story. When I saw this in 603 00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:37,800 Speaker 1: my feed, I was like, you must be lying. AI 604 00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:39,080 Speaker 1: has gone too far. 605 00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:39,920 Speaker 2: No, it's real. 606 00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:42,440 Speaker 4: When it was investigation I saw it in my feed, 607 00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:44,320 Speaker 4: I thought, well, it's not beyond the realms of like 608 00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:46,440 Speaker 4: the weird stuff that you and I send each other 609 00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:47,000 Speaker 4: about sport. 610 00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:48,240 Speaker 2: The algorithm has found me. 611 00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:50,600 Speaker 4: When it was in the Herald Sun over the weekend, 612 00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:55,200 Speaker 4: I thought, what a world. But this is this is 613 00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:59,239 Speaker 4: not just a niche very strange conversation because people are 614 00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:00,000 Speaker 4: interested in it. 615 00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:03,280 Speaker 1: I know, I know, I know. Hey, that is arguably 616 00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:06,680 Speaker 1: tell me that's the funnest fact. That's the funnest fact 617 00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:11,280 Speaker 1: of these games so far. Is this ongoing investigation? However, 618 00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:13,000 Speaker 1: I have another one if we need it.
