1
00:00:01,440 --> 00:00:03,320
Speaker 1: And Amanda jam Nation.

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:06,160
Speaker 2: Well, it was a big success, wasn't it last weekend?

3
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:08,719
Speaker 2: We loved seeing that game being played in Vegas.

4
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:11,360
Speaker 1: Did you read that? The Penrith Panthers, they've said, oh,

5
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:13,320
Speaker 1: we'll go to Vegas because they won't have a stadium.

6
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:14,440
Speaker 2: Everyone wants to go to Vegas.

7
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:18,279
Speaker 1: To Vegas, we don't have a stadium. You know, we're

8
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:19,919
Speaker 1: moving buildings apparently.

9
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:21,840
Speaker 2: Who you and me, You and me, we'll do it

10
00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:25,200
Speaker 2: from Vegas. Have heard we were told initially this is

11
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:28,200
Speaker 2: the quote Americans are absolutely going to love it. Quote.

12
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:31,320
Speaker 2: The Americans love that combatis style, no helmets, no chess pads.

13
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:33,920
Speaker 2: This is a sports entertainment network. This is all before

14
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:36,000
Speaker 2: the game. And yes, we loved it. Didn't look great.

15
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:38,239
Speaker 2: We're so excited. I think a lot of Australians were

16
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 2: in the audience. I watched it with a friend of

17
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:44,640
Speaker 2: mine who had gone to marcel And High school. You know,

18
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:47,200
Speaker 2: he's now in his fifties. His phone pinged the whole time.

19
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 2: Everyone had ever gone to school with was there and

20
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:50,199
Speaker 2: they were running into their old teachers.

21
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 1: And they're all South supporters.

22
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:54,320
Speaker 2: They're all South supporters. That's right. But I think if

23
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 2: you want to have a week in Vegas with your mates.

24
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 2: What a great thing to do.

25
00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 1: What a great thing.

26
00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 2: But the skime what you went the scheme was, and

27
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:04,680
Speaker 2: he goes for Saint George to introduce the game to Americans.

28
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 2: I've heard it's mostly to do with gambling. Of course,

29
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 2: that they're the ones who are doing the big investing

30
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 2: because they want to get Americans interested in how to

31
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:15,679
Speaker 2: gamble on this stuff, which isn't so pure as won't

32
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 2: they love our game? But we all want them to

33
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:19,960
Speaker 2: like it. Let's have a look at how it rated

34
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 2: in America. So it was on in their primetime, which

35
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 2: is why we had it in our afternoon.

36
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:28,959
Speaker 1: Yeah right, Okay, so in America the population is three

37
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy million people.

38
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 2: Okay, Well it was on Fox Sports one, and what

39
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 2: happened is that it had to be moved to I

40
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 2: don't if it was moved to Fox Sport one or

41
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 2: moved from Fox Sport one because a college basketball game

42
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 2: ran over, so they moved it on to another channel. Okay,

43
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 2: here we go. You ready, the first game was watched

44
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 2: by how many people in America?

45
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 1: Three hundred and seventy million people? So I'm thinking into

46
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 1: the millions have to be even if you just got

47
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 1: two million, that proportion percentage, right, that would seem fair.

48
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:08,079
Speaker 2: Okay, Ready, sixty one thousand people watch the first match,

49
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 2: forty four thousand people watch the second match. For you,

50
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 2: they're saying, let's be real about it. This is what

51
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 2: John Lewis, who's a sports media publisher, has said. Anything

52
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:24,360
Speaker 2: below one hundred thousand viewers on American television is extraceptionally low.

53
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 2: There's no sugar coating it.

54
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,639
Speaker 1: Well that's low here, yeah, get it in studio ten

55
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 1: years to get that.

56
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 2: Well, let's see what else rates that low. There's a

57
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 2: show called on America For what It's Worth. This is

58
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 2: a classic show about pop culture memorabilia. Hello, and welcome

59
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 2: to For what It's Worth.

60
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 1: The show that combines quizzing with a curiosity for curios.

61
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 2: Sounds hideous. It sounds hideous. That was watched. It's something

62
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:55,919
Speaker 2: you that was as if you'd know, let me tell

63
00:02:55,960 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 2: you that was aired at two twenty a m. And

64
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,640
Speaker 2: was watched by fifty six thousand people. So more people

65
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 2: watched that at twenty two at two thirty in the morning.

66
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:08,799
Speaker 2: What about this show?

67
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 3: Camp meeting in January of nineteen seventy three, the Lord

68
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 3: dealt with Brother Hagen about having a special meeting, a

69
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 3: meeting with the spirit of old time camp meeting would prevail.

70
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 2: That'll do eighty eight thousand. Eighty eight thousand watched that,

71
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 2: and only sixty one thousand watched the first match and

72
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 2: forty four the second.

73
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 1: That sounds like a show I'd host because Gluin.

74
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 2: Camp in it. So look, we all want it to

75
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 2: be great, but let's not sugarcoats.

76
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 1: Oute I like sugarcoating.

77
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 3: What's wrong with sugarcoating?
