Speaker 1: Tell me we're starting this very special bonus episode of
Speaker 1: two Good Sports at the end because it's the end
Speaker 1: of the games. The closing ceremony has literally just wrapped
Speaker 1: up at the time of record.
Speaker 2: I can't believe, and we will mention it is halftime
Speaker 2: because we do have the Power Games coming up and
Speaker 2: we cannot wait. So we get two weeks to get
Speaker 2: our sleeping schedule back on track.
Speaker 3: Because I am tired.
Speaker 2: Did someone set the alarm on Saturday morning thinking Jess
Speaker 2: Hull was running at four am?
Speaker 1: Then?
Speaker 2: And wonder why we're watching the four hundred? Really?
Speaker 1: Sure?
Speaker 2: Did I wake up this morning to watch the entirety
Speaker 2: of the closing ceremony because I knew that we were
Speaker 2: talking about it. Absolutely, So let's take you through. We're
Speaker 2: literally in pajamas. Are they the athletes pajamas? Yes they are, Yes,
Speaker 2: they are, Yes they are.
Speaker 1: We have somehow got our hands on some very comfortable
Speaker 1: pjs just in honor of our athletes eventually touching back
Speaker 1: down on us.
Speaker 2: By roving enterprises. But let us have a look. What
Speaker 2: did you think the closing ceremony? First and foremost, just
Speaker 2: like all of the gold medal predictions, did we or
Speaker 2: did we not tell you was a fun fact that
Speaker 2: Tom Cruise would be involved?
Speaker 1: We told you it was a potential fact confirmation fact fact,
Speaker 1: it's a fact fact. And did we say potentially that
Speaker 1: he would be repelling down from the stud de France?
Speaker 2: Aha?
Speaker 1: Yeah, did that happen?
Speaker 2: Aha?
Speaker 1: Yeah, we are once again psy kick geniuses. But before
Speaker 1: we get to Tom Cruise, jell me, I have to
Speaker 1: admit I was in and out. I was in and
Speaker 1: out of the closing ceremony. I was watching, then I
Speaker 1: wasn't that I was watching again, then I wasn't. So
Speaker 1: my notes upon the actual overall event little bit haphazard.
Speaker 1: So let's go for it. Number one note that I've
Speaker 1: written here golden hummingbird. There seemed to be a whole
Speaker 1: plot point that I missed exactly what the context was.
Speaker 1: But there was a golden humming bird making its way
Speaker 1: around a stage, a very very decorative looking step, lots
Speaker 1: of angles and I'm.
Speaker 2: Not sending what was just ended via a cable, and
Speaker 2: I at first thought went, oh my god, it's Tom
Speaker 2: Cruise and he's golden, and there's lasers everywhere, and this
Speaker 2: is what happens. But how did Tom get in circus
Speaker 2: in true French style, there was a real apparently it
Speaker 2: was extraterrestrial. So we're in this. Firstly, we're not on
Speaker 2: the seend. We're not on this.
Speaker 3: We're in and so we're watching the exit now.
Speaker 2: And for me, the closing ceremony gives a vibe of
Speaker 2: when the year twelves have left school and they've got
Speaker 2: one more assembly they have to sit through where the
Speaker 2: principal still has to speak and they're kind of in
Speaker 2: party mode and they're like, right, oh, like we're all here,
Speaker 2: we're all mingling. And that is the amazing thing about
Speaker 2: the closing ceremony. And it's been since the fifties where
Speaker 2: someone said, you know what, let's have the athletes all
Speaker 2: walk in together.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and so that happened again.
Speaker 2: So you come just arriving as part of your country,
Speaker 2: under your nation's flag, and then they have all the
Speaker 2: flag bearers come first, and then the athletes just roll
Speaker 2: on in and you can tell they are ready to party.
Speaker 2: They started their own chance at one point, the unofficial
Speaker 2: anthem that is no nonanaa. They all just started launching
Speaker 2: into it on their own accord. Yes, listen to Thomas Bark.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I got I got a bit confused about that
Speaker 1: because that was a part where I had then came
Speaker 1: back in, So I tapped back into the coverage and
Speaker 1: I thought, hang on, what's happening here, I've missed some
Speaker 1: key plot point. Where did that hummingbird goes? Then I
Speaker 1: tapped back out and then tapped back in in time
Speaker 1: to see Phoenix the band perform who everyone would remember
Speaker 1: the days of big day out at any festival that
Speaker 1: you used to have gone to, Zoomers, good luck. You
Speaker 1: don't know who on a Phoenix is as a band.
Speaker 1: I don't, No, you do.
Speaker 2: Honestly, as they were everywhere, literally said I don't know
Speaker 2: who this is. I'm also even worse.
Speaker 1: Listomania.
Speaker 2: You know that Listomania came on and I went, oh,
Speaker 2: I know this, and I went my oh my god,
Speaker 2: it's happened. I've become my mother.
Speaker 3: It's happened because.
Speaker 2: This is clearly a band that is so that everyone
Speaker 2: knows who it is. And then the opening bars of
Speaker 2: Listener it happened and I was like, oh, this is
Speaker 2: a begger. I know this one. What upset me? Okay,
Speaker 2: I've just let everyone know that I'm a loser. Point one,
Speaker 2: but point two. There had been rumors and the expectation.
Speaker 2: I would go so far as to say, the expectation
Speaker 2: that the icon of the Games, Yeah.
Speaker 1: Snoop mister Snoop Doggy.
Speaker 2: Would be performing as a stage to France in front
Speaker 2: of all these athletes that have been obsessed with him,
Speaker 2: getting photos with him, trading pins with him throughout the
Speaker 2: last two weeks.
Speaker 1: Yep, we were carving it in stone. That's gonna happen.
Speaker 2: And even the Red Hot Chili Peppers. And if I'm
Speaker 2: an if I'm an athlete that's just gone through a Games,
Speaker 2: I'm like, I deserve this. I deserve a front road
Speaker 2: where concerts.
Speaker 1: My gift, after the gift that I gave you with
Speaker 1: my performance, time for me to be rewarded.
Speaker 2: They performed, and thankfully I know who they are. It
Speaker 2: was a re record and they were supposedly in a
Speaker 2: beach in La So here's they were nowhere near the stadium.
Speaker 2: I would have rid it.
Speaker 1: Okay, So hang on, hang on, hang on, let me
Speaker 1: get this right. If we're going through just an order
Speaker 1: of events, We've got the hummingbird. We don't know where
Speaker 1: the hummingbird goes. Then there is Phoenix. They're playing something.
Speaker 2: There's very beautiful.
Speaker 1: Oh there is a piano. The floating piano. There was
Speaker 1: a floating piano. Was all very confusing. I was like,
Speaker 1: is he playing a little bit beautiful? How was he
Speaker 1: doing that? That was exceptional. Kazinski played a song from
Speaker 1: Drive AKA one of my favorite movies with Ryan Goslin
Speaker 1: and Gary Mulligan, and I know this song I'm gooding
Speaker 1: you were No. Basically it was me being like, he's French. Well,
Speaker 1: oh my god, they're French. Wow, incredible. And then we
Speaker 1: had the moment of the transition, so where we were
Speaker 1: gifting the games to La to see what was happening,
Speaker 1: Tom Cruise ab sails his way down to the center
Speaker 1: of the stadium. Absolutely no, no one steals the Olympic flag.
Speaker 1: We said, he's steal something so I mean a micro flag.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: At some point he gave a lovely hug to the
Speaker 1: goats and biles who was holding the flag, and then
Speaker 1: he proceeds to drive through a relatively and surprisingly empty Paris.
Speaker 1: In a pre recorded section, Sarah on a motorbike with
Speaker 1: the flag before getting it to La and donning or
Speaker 1: what did he do? He essentially he like base jumped
Speaker 1: out of a plane to make the Hollywood.
Speaker 3: Sign, which the.
Speaker 2: Ing yes, and I thought that was really cool. So
Speaker 2: they basically had incorporated the two o's on the Hollywood Sign,
Speaker 2: which had become the symbol of the Games. And I
Speaker 2: thought that's clever. Yeah, that's holy.
Speaker 1: I liked that.
Speaker 2: I liked that.
Speaker 1: And then we went to Venice Beach, where as Gelmy,
Speaker 1: you were right in pointing out.
Speaker 2: The greatest concert happened ever in front of twenty extras.
Speaker 1: To I was like, that's not real people, real people
Speaker 1: in the crown.
Speaker 2: Do you know who were real people? Our athletes that
Speaker 2: were made to dress like they were private school kids
Speaker 2: on an excursion. And I'd also like to say that
Speaker 2: the female colourway looks like a Medicare car. It's really
Speaker 2: hard when you scan a large crowd and all the
Speaker 2: Australians aren't together, and they're not in green and gold,
Speaker 2: they're in beij Safari style shorts. A belt that no
Speaker 2: one's worn since the early nineties.
Speaker 1: Now the belt. Can we talk about the belt?
Speaker 2: No? I can't. It does because it does.
Speaker 1: It's giving oshkosh b gosh. Now that is our next
Speaker 1: reference that something I know certain people I don't know, funny,
Speaker 1: got it, but they're hideous.
Speaker 2: But meanwhile, the American athletes come out in ralph Lorin
Speaker 2: looking like sexy astronauts.
Speaker 1: Yeah, sexy astronauts.
Speaker 2: They look so cool. We look so lame.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the new host of the Games, where they're the
Speaker 1: sexy astronauts that are taking us, you know, the advanced
Speaker 1: AP class kids off on an excursion around NASA.
Speaker 2: Granted it was still thirty three degrees and people had
Speaker 2: fans like they were trying to keep themselves. Was cool,
Speaker 2: So I'm guessing that the breatheable linen was probably very
Speaker 2: handy for our athletes.
Speaker 1: But I just thought, really, really, why why are we
Speaker 1: in these colors? They're not even like.
Speaker 2: Not everyone and again showing that I went to a
Speaker 2: private high school, Not everyone tucked their shirts in. There
Speaker 2: was no uniformity in how everyone decided to wear this stuff.
Speaker 1: It just looked, I mean, so terri closing ceremony flag
Speaker 1: bearers in Kaylee McEwan and Matt Waren, who we've talked
Speaker 1: about a lot during our two Good Sports Green and
Speaker 1: Gold addition, is there a part do you think where
Speaker 1: they're like, Oh, I'm in that, I'm in that, I'm wearing.
Speaker 2: Kaylee's part of glasses. Can only do so much. They
Speaker 2: can only they can only try to elevate so much.
Speaker 1: I am I am sad that it wasn't Snoop. I'm
Speaker 1: sad that we didn't get Snoop live.
Speaker 2: It would have. It was such a layup. It was
Speaker 2: such a layup to have everyone lose their mind. Yeh,
Speaker 2: he had have descended, like if he had have just
Speaker 2: walked on, because he doesn't need to ab sail off anything.
Speaker 2: He just needs to walk out in the middle or
Speaker 2: maybe on a dressage horse like this itself.
Speaker 1: Let's think about that, right, imagine itself. Imagine Snoop doggubj God.
Speaker 1: I was being like Noah Las there couldn't spell being
Speaker 1: a Snoop Dogg just on a dressage horse getting led
Speaker 1: by Martha Stewart, his friend. He's great friends obviously, like,
Speaker 1: you're right, it does right itself.
Speaker 2: But what does bring warmth to your heart is there
Speaker 2: is something amazing about seeing all of these athletes just
Speaker 2: clearly release the shackles in the stress of their lives
Speaker 2: leading up to this point and how much they would
Speaker 2: have anticipated their performance. There was also a rendition of
Speaker 2: we are the champions, so DJ read the room very well,
Speaker 2: so they're all belting out we are the champions and
Speaker 2: swaying together. And again it's that blur of different countries.
Speaker 2: I did. One of my first notes when the athletes
Speaker 2: were entering, was like, gee, this would look prettier at night.
Speaker 3: Because they ended while it was still daytime.
Speaker 2: But then of course it descends in tonight, so you
Speaker 2: do you get Oh I missed the start effect. I
Speaker 2: do feel they also handed out what you get at
Speaker 2: a Taylor Swift concert on the wristbands and then light up.
Speaker 2: They give you an idea. And the stage itself was
Speaker 2: I think designed to look like the moon. There was movement,
Speaker 2: there was same.
Speaker 1: I got confused about the stage because when I was
Speaker 1: looking at it, I was like, hang on a second,
Speaker 1: are they all the continents of the world and they've
Speaker 1: done it in like an abstract version, But then when
Speaker 1: they zoomed out, it kind of looked like a dog
Speaker 1: holding a scepter.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And there was the return of our mast vigilante.
Speaker 3: Oh, so he came.
Speaker 2: He came back because the golden guys come down, so
Speaker 2: he's back flipping around. There's there's a Greek flag, there's
Speaker 2: a lot of things going on, But essentially I'd love
Speaker 2: to go to a closing ceremony if I was ever
Speaker 2: going to fake being an athlete, I'd go in there
Speaker 2: and be like.
Speaker 1: Whoo, do you know what I think they nailed? They
Speaker 1: absolutely nailed with the closing ceremony is that they farewell
Speaker 1: to Paris with an high art interpretation of an ancient
Speaker 1: myth that no one really quite understood. Yes, and don't
Speaker 1: you think that that right?
Speaker 2: And then went to a beach in La and went
Speaker 2: this this year get may as well have had Katy
Speaker 2: Perry come out and seen California girls and just be
Speaker 2: done with it.
Speaker 1: And I just say, the cleanest I've ever seen that
Speaker 1: Venice beach look the cleanest it has ever looked.
Speaker 2: But Snoop and his lack of performance at the State
Speaker 2: of France, we say he should have been there because
Speaker 2: he's one of the icons of the Games. And George,
Speaker 2: we have been so busy talking through all of the
Speaker 2: Australian medals because it has haranged, we haven't had a
Speaker 2: chance to talk about some of the things that are
Speaker 2: really sports news told differently, and one of those has
Speaker 2: to be the Turkish assassin.
Speaker 1: Yo, the Turkish shooter came silver. Our matte Yusuf is
Speaker 1: what we're calling.
Speaker 4: He won.
Speaker 1: He won silver in the shooting, and I mean, this
Speaker 1: is Jeremy one of those rare times where I can't
Speaker 1: tell you who won the gold.
Speaker 2: Oh no, you can't.
Speaker 1: I don't care who won the gold, because you know
Speaker 1: what that silver is gold. He won the games. He
Speaker 1: won the games with his celebration.
Speaker 2: If you haven't seen this in me, where have you been?
Speaker 2: Because it has gone to the point where he has
Speaker 2: infiltrated celebrations of athletes around the world. Nina Kennedy did it,
Speaker 2: our mate Mondo did it. The Jamaican who won the
Speaker 2: discus did it. So you Basically, it's where you look
Speaker 2: super relaxed, you put one hand in your pocket and
Speaker 2: you make the other one a pistol. Because the guy
Speaker 2: had absolutely no equipment and looked so nonchalant on his
Speaker 2: way to silver, while everyone else looked like they had
Speaker 2: a half a hardware store on their head trying to
Speaker 2: help them see that's the thing was made at Iconic.
Speaker 1: It looked like, I mean, Google glasses or whatever, whoever's.
Speaker 3: Totally good virtual reality, virtual reality.
Speaker 2: Good luck.
Speaker 1: Everyone's using everything to try and live in the matrix
Speaker 1: and then old mate just comes out with his reading
Speaker 1: glasses and goes bam.
Speaker 3: And he's not someone that looks modelesque.
Speaker 2: He looks like someone's dad that came to pick him
Speaker 2: up from a party and said where's my daughter? And
Speaker 2: you're like sorry, yousuf. Yeah, like he does. It looks
Speaker 2: like someone that you do not want to mess with.
Speaker 2: But I say this because Jordan Clark from Fremantle is
Speaker 2: using that celebrations in the AFL. Now when does it
Speaker 2: get too old?
Speaker 1: When does it get too old?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 1: I mean for him never, he's allowed to do it whenever.
Speaker 1: It's actually also genuinely his technique for shooting. But when
Speaker 1: is it too.
Speaker 3: Horror recond it or probably the end of the Power Games.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I reckon it's going to have its circuit and
Speaker 2: have its time, but you never know. It could it
Speaker 2: could go beyond that. But in terms of icons to
Speaker 2: come from the Games, he certainly has to be.
Speaker 1: He's up there, he's up there. I think something else
Speaker 1: jell me. Because of course the city of Love. That's
Speaker 1: another term that we used to describe Paris and another iconic.
Speaker 1: I've got that in quotation marks because I'm not sure
Speaker 1: how I feel about Luckily, I do know how I
Speaker 1: feel about this iconic thing we saw at the Games
Speaker 1: was a lot of proposals, a lot of wedding like
Speaker 1: marriage proposals for athletes, and I hate it. I just
Speaker 1: hate it. I hate it so much.
Speaker 2: You know how I feel about this. It reminds me
Speaker 2: of the time that someone during a Test match at
Speaker 2: the Gabba proposed to their partner in the pool and
Speaker 2: I just went all.
Speaker 3: Glass, not the pool, in the pool. Cricket Land.
Speaker 2: We actually, we actually saw over the weekend a proposal
Speaker 2: in the AFL. No for Melbourne.
Speaker 3: No, that's happened, so it is not I have you been.
Speaker 1: I have gone to Broncos games before where they've proposed
Speaker 1: and they've said no, there was no there multiple No.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: If you're proposing insan like Yoda, it's multiple. But if
Speaker 1: you're proposing at a football game or oh you see
Speaker 1: it and like I guess this sort of originated from
Speaker 1: the US, where there's sort of the jumbo troll or
Speaker 1: you're up on a big screen and it can be organized.
Speaker 1: But for me, something about the Olympics where it's like
Speaker 1: it's a sacred space. I would like to highlight Alice Fino,
Speaker 1: the French steeple chase runner for the three thousand meters.
Speaker 1: She then at the end of her race proposed to
Speaker 1: her partner and it went viral because the Olympics posted
Speaker 1: it and her quote was, I ran under nine minutes
Speaker 1: and nine is my lucky number. We've also been together
Speaker 1: for nine years, so I thought, I do it if
Speaker 1: I'm the partner.
Speaker 2: I'm like, wait, so you run ten and you don't
Speaker 2: drop a knee.
Speaker 1: How circumstantially in the balance so much our future.
Speaker 2: And also everything about the lead up to this month
Speaker 2: hasn't been about me, babe, Like.
Speaker 1: What I hate it so much. I remember I saw
Speaker 1: it at the badminton. We also saw it after the
Speaker 1: rhythmic gymnastics, where in my mind it's ingrained.
Speaker 2: One of them is on a podium.
Speaker 1: Oh, an athlete from Italy. She just literally just got
Speaker 1: off the podium and her partner drops to a knee
Speaker 1: and I think she said, yes, look I each to
Speaker 1: their own it could be the happiest moment of their lives.
Speaker 2: I if someone.
Speaker 1: Did that to me, automatic, No, I am on a podium.
Speaker 1: This has nothing to do with you. It is about
Speaker 1: my relationship with the sport that I have dedicated my
Speaker 1: life to and that's been in my life for far
Speaker 1: longer than you. Get out of my space. This is
Speaker 1: the time for me. I am so mad about it all,
Speaker 1: all of that.
Speaker 2: I hate it. I love the idea of you stepping
Speaker 2: back onto the podium to use it as your soapbox.
Speaker 2: Just say no, get up and go absolutely not. No.
Speaker 2: And look, I completely agree with you the fact that
Speaker 2: you can't wait a week just to let everything settle
Speaker 2: down and to not But we do need to go
Speaker 2: through some honorable mentions of some things that we love.
Speaker 2: Talking about the guy that became obsessed with the chocolate
Speaker 2: muffins in the village, to the point where people have
Speaker 2: now created hacks of what you can do with the
Speaker 2: coals or Woolworth's cake.
Speaker 1: I would say that, also, do you think that those
Speaker 1: countries just eat a lot healthier than us, because I
Speaker 1: feel like our ones at Woolies and Coals are just
Speaker 1: as good. They're just good, They're just as good. But
Speaker 1: this was all because the athletes. There was a lot
Speaker 1: many a TikTok about just how shit the food was.
Speaker 2: Total and the beds and the experience and it might
Speaker 2: be eco, but I'd like some air conditioning please.
Speaker 1: Exactly exactly. So therefore a mate. I think he was
Speaker 1: a was he Dutch? He was Christians and that's yes Dutch, yepish. Anyway,
Speaker 1: he was a swimmer and he went viral for doing
Speaker 1: his reviews on food and then he decided that chocol
Speaker 1: muffin was the greatest thing that he ever eaten.
Speaker 2: They it exploded.
Speaker 1: It exploded so much so that the village then had
Speaker 1: to release a statement they thought that they were going
Speaker 1: to In the end, I think it was bake one
Speaker 1: hundred thousand of these, because two thousand were being consumed today.
Speaker 1: At one point it was really hard to even get
Speaker 1: them because it doesn't it really really doesn't. So obviously
Speaker 1: honorable mention to the icon that was chocolate muffin man.
Speaker 2: The horse guy. He's pomerhorse Guy. Our next honorable mention.
Speaker 2: He was part of the USA gymnastics team that was
Speaker 2: such a nerd that I think he can complete the
Speaker 2: Rubik's Cuban under twenty seconds, under ten under ten.
Speaker 1: He does it for fun as a way to take
Speaker 1: his mind off his nerves.
Speaker 2: But the reason why everyone fell in love with him
Speaker 2: was that he wears glasses so it looks like Clark
Speaker 2: Kent and then he just takes them off. And the
Speaker 2: only discipline that he competes in is the pomber horse,
Speaker 2: and my god, does he own the pommel horse? And
Speaker 2: all of the United States has just gone, who's Clark
Speaker 2: Kent that we only pull out for this one discipline
Speaker 2: that help helped the medal. It was so funny.
Speaker 1: And the reason that he takes his glasses off is
Speaker 1: because he does have a pretty serious vision impediment. He's
Speaker 1: cross eyed. It has a fancy scientific name, but essentially
Speaker 1: he's cross eyed. And obviously with the pommel horse fair bitted,
Speaker 1: jerking kind of movements there, you can't hold glasses on
Speaker 1: your face, so what it is you actually can't really
Speaker 1: see what he's doing. It's all feel. It's all feel when.
Speaker 3: He's on the horse, and you need to see how
Speaker 3: good he is at this.
Speaker 1: It's incredible.
Speaker 3: It's very impressing.
Speaker 2: Incredible people that wouldn't look impressive on a pommel horse.
Speaker 2: The guy in the swimming that had the colorful speeders
Speaker 2: and the very average physique a dad Bob.
Speaker 3: After two weeks of.
Speaker 2: Watching swimmers where You're like, you could bounce a coin
Speaker 2: off any part of any of their bodies, like they
Speaker 2: are just zero percent body fat. Yes, but this he
Speaker 2: had to go and retrieve a cat.
Speaker 1: Not all heroes wear capes, chealmy, they only indeed wear
Speaker 1: those colorful speeders because I'd never actually thought or spared
Speaker 1: any second to think about. Lots of the athletes wear
Speaker 1: double caps because apparently it saves them up no point
Speaker 1: zero one of a second, right, but all of you.
Speaker 2: The resistance on the goggles then is lower, so they
Speaker 2: might not have water resistance.
Speaker 1: So he happens if one of those caps falls off
Speaker 1: and then it's stuck in the pool. Oh my god, delay, delay, Delay.
Speaker 2: You can't have athletes named him Bob. No one knows
Speaker 2: if that's actual name, but they're like, Bob had to
Speaker 2: go in and swim.
Speaker 1: And also he could have just had a regular pair
Speaker 1: of speedos on. No, you did not need to have
Speaker 1: that many colors on them.
Speaker 2: It wreaked of like we needed to get in. And
Speaker 2: he's like, oh, but I've only got my colorful jocks.
Speaker 3: I did not know today.
Speaker 1: So here is another icon and just quickly a final
Speaker 1: honorable mention to a story that really captured our hearts.
Speaker 1: And I know that romance riders everywhere have already got
Speaker 1: a first draft in the works. Because the tennis lovers
Speaker 1: won the mixed doubles. Oh my goodness, they've broken They've
Speaker 1: been together four years, broken up in the lead up.
Speaker 1: The two Czech athletes broke up in the lead up
Speaker 1: to the game, so they want to focus more on
Speaker 1: their individual careers, but they'd already committed to competing in
Speaker 1: the mixed doubles.
Speaker 2: They win gold and they embrace, and you're like, tell
Speaker 2: me you're not back in love. Yeah, yeah, hang on it,
Speaker 2: tell me that you're not already in my head, I'm like,
Speaker 2: mixed doubles, mixed feelings? Is that the headline? Like? What
Speaker 2: are we all? Do you have to run? Do you
Speaker 2: have to pun on love? I don't know. But this again,
Speaker 2: because we've been so focused on the athletic outcome, there
Speaker 2: are the little things that Georgie and I have had
Speaker 2: a twitch to talk about, and if you can't tell,
Speaker 2: there's some of them. But that is the beauty of
Speaker 2: the games. Is if someone had told you at the
Speaker 2: start of this adventure in Paris that it would be
Speaker 2: a Turkish shooter that won silver, that would become the
Speaker 2: icon of the Games and Snoop Dogg. I really would
Speaker 2: have wondered what happened.
Speaker 1: Late late entry for the icon status.
Speaker 4: Reygun the greatest breaker that you've ever seen, choreographed by
Speaker 4: Chris Lily and cath day Night on the world stage,
Speaker 4: jumping around as a kangaroo.
Speaker 1: Now, there's been a lot said about Raygun.
Speaker 2: And breaking at the Games as a general.
Speaker 1: And breaking at the Games, it's not going to be
Speaker 1: there in La. Everyone calmed down is not going to
Speaker 1: be there in LA. But really I would say it
Speaker 1: wasn't the best spectacle that I've ever seen at the Olympics.
Speaker 1: And ray Gun's performance, if we're just being objective and
Speaker 1: we're just being blunt, wasn't in the top million percent
Speaker 1: or any cinn She's not making it enter any step
Speaker 1: up film is my review.
Speaker 2: I find this whole story really uncomfortable because I'm always
Speaker 2: someone that thinks if people are laughing at and not
Speaker 2: with someone on a really big stage, it makes me
Speaker 2: super uncomfortable. Yes, and the fact that this is her
Speaker 2: discipline and as Animirs said, she is the best breakdownser
Speaker 2: that Australia has that we've sent to participate and represent
Speaker 2: our country. The fact that she's been really made the
Speaker 2: butt of a joke. She's an icon. She's an icon.
Speaker 2: She's for all the reasons that you don't expect someone
Speaker 2: to be yes.
Speaker 1: But then there's also layers to this because she's an academic,
Speaker 1: she's studying breaking. That's how she initially got in. She
Speaker 1: used to be a classical dance Yates phenomenon about it.
Speaker 2: I just think at the end of the day, she's
Speaker 2: an Olympian and who the hell are we? But my god?
Speaker 2: Am I glad it's not featuring in LA because when
Speaker 2: you think about some of the gold that we've seen, oh,
Speaker 2: I think a gold foot breaking just shouldn't be in
Speaker 2: the same category.
Speaker 1: Another reminder here, and I think I'm contractually obliged as
Speaker 1: a friend of Lizzelli's. Nepple's not in the Olympics, so
Speaker 1: let's just let's just give it that. And final word
Speaker 1: on the breaking should go to our other Ossie competitor,
Speaker 1: Jay Attack, who said I had a lot of fun
Speaker 1: even though I was slaughtered.
Speaker 3: Goodbye Bak.
Speaker 2: Just to summarize, we like surfing, we like skateboarding because
Speaker 2: we're good at them. But Breaking can absolutely get on
Speaker 2: its bike, it can go. But Iconic Games, Honestly, Iconic
Speaker 2: Games is the highlight. If I think of Paris' top line,
Speaker 2: I think of a blue smurf on a plate.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, obviously it has to be there, has to
Speaker 1: be there.
Speaker 2: Leil mush On, who we actually didn't mention from the
Speaker 2: opening ceremony, but he was the one that went and
Speaker 2: got the flame for the cauldron at the start.
Speaker 1: Yes, for them to extinguish the flame. It was a
Speaker 1: lovely touch. When the chant of Leon Leon went.
Speaker 2: Up through the stadium was great and it would be
Speaker 2: the most spectacular venue at the base of the Eiffel Tower.
Speaker 2: That will be the visual for me, the beach, volleyball
Speaker 2: and going how they pulled off venues that just seem
Speaker 2: so stunning. I will forever be upset that we didn't
Speaker 2: get snoop at the State France.
Speaker 3: But that's okay, that's okay, that's okay.
Speaker 1: But I'm truly excited for what's going on going to
Speaker 1: be La because it's going to be the most extra
Speaker 1: Hollywood vibe.
Speaker 2: I'm also excited for the fact that tomorrow drops our
Speaker 2: wrap up of all we're going to do a summary
Speaker 2: of basically the medals that we won, how Australia went.
Speaker 2: We're going to be talking about jess Oh because while
Speaker 2: we didn't have an episode over the weekend, my god,
Speaker 2: I need to talk about it, but happened. But please
Speaker 2: check us out tomorrow because we are going to put
Speaker 2: a neat bow on. We're going back to the actual outcomes.
Speaker 2: We're talking back about athletes. We're not going to be
Speaker 2: talking about chocolate muffins. It's going to be all about
Speaker 2: green and gold.
Speaker 3: Well, apparently we're gonna find out
