WEBVTT - MINI: Athletes get paid HOW much? 💰

0:00:00.160 --> 0:00:01.080
<v Speaker 1>You're just joining us.

0:00:01.120 --> 0:00:03.000
<v Speaker 2>We've been having a bit of a laugh. We probably

0:00:03.000 --> 0:00:06.280
<v Speaker 2>shouldn't be laughing. But about some of the Olympic opening

0:00:06.320 --> 0:00:10.840
<v Speaker 2>ceremony uniforms, The Matilda's Girl sort of did a TikTok

0:00:10.960 --> 0:00:15.000
<v Speaker 2>reel that's gone viral because they're pretty ugly.

0:00:15.160 --> 0:00:16.639
<v Speaker 3>When I first saw it, I thought that that's what

0:00:16.640 --> 0:00:18.320
<v Speaker 3>they were actually going to have to play soccer in.

0:00:18.320 --> 0:00:20.759
<v Speaker 3>And I was like, it's below the knee. I don't

0:00:20.800 --> 0:00:23.119
<v Speaker 3>understand if you missed it though. It's kind of like

0:00:23.160 --> 0:00:26.080
<v Speaker 3>a it looks like a speedo swimmer up top and

0:00:26.120 --> 0:00:28.000
<v Speaker 3>a really long netball skirt down bottom.

0:00:28.040 --> 0:00:28.479
<v Speaker 4>Net bully.

0:00:28.560 --> 0:00:31.800
<v Speaker 2>It looks just awkward length. I was like, they're definitely

0:00:31.840 --> 0:00:33.839
<v Speaker 2>going to get caught up and take a tumble. But

0:00:34.159 --> 0:00:38.120
<v Speaker 2>big news happening. Celine Dionn was just announced to be

0:00:38.479 --> 0:00:41.680
<v Speaker 2>the singer at the opening ceremony. That is absolutely huge

0:00:41.720 --> 0:00:44.520
<v Speaker 2>because she hasn't really performed in a long time.

0:00:44.560 --> 0:00:48.280
<v Speaker 3>She's been really unwell. She's amazing, like she is amazing.

0:00:48.360 --> 0:00:49.879
<v Speaker 3>I'm not surprised that they asked her, but I think

0:00:49.880 --> 0:00:51.559
<v Speaker 3>the thing that was the most surprising was how much

0:00:51.600 --> 0:00:54.880
<v Speaker 3>money they are paying her to perform at the opening ceremony.

0:00:54.920 --> 0:00:57.560
<v Speaker 3>You know what, it's not amazing how much they're painter,

0:00:57.680 --> 0:01:00.240
<v Speaker 3>it's amazing how much they're paying her in comparison and

0:01:00.280 --> 0:01:02.960
<v Speaker 3>to how much they pay the Olympians if they.

0:01:02.840 --> 0:01:06.080
<v Speaker 4>Win a medal. So Selendon, she's a goddess.

0:01:06.160 --> 0:01:09.600
<v Speaker 2>But she's been paid reportedly allegedly two million dollars. But

0:01:09.760 --> 0:01:14.800
<v Speaker 2>get this, an Australian athlete, if they win a gold medal,

0:01:15.080 --> 0:01:18.360
<v Speaker 2>is only paid twenty thousand dollars only.

0:01:18.480 --> 0:01:20.480
<v Speaker 1>That's nothing else, gorkap.

0:01:20.520 --> 0:01:21.039
<v Speaker 4>Yes, it is.

0:01:21.080 --> 0:01:23.399
<v Speaker 2>When you have trained for four years and you dedicate

0:01:23.480 --> 0:01:26.520
<v Speaker 2>your life full time job. We expect you as a country,

0:01:26.560 --> 0:01:28.319
<v Speaker 2>like we're so patriotic, we expect you to go out

0:01:28.319 --> 0:01:29.360
<v Speaker 2>there and bring it back for us.

0:01:29.800 --> 0:01:30.720
<v Speaker 4>If you work out how.

0:01:30.720 --> 0:01:33.920
<v Speaker 2>Much that is over four years, twenty thousand dollars, you

0:01:33.959 --> 0:01:34.360
<v Speaker 2>do the math.

0:01:34.400 --> 0:01:35.600
<v Speaker 4>I can't do it. I don't have a calculator on

0:01:35.600 --> 0:01:37.280
<v Speaker 4>mir right now. Okay, But twenty.

0:01:38.680 --> 0:01:41.800
<v Speaker 3>Twenty thousand dollars is Australia's payment if you win a

0:01:41.840 --> 0:01:44.399
<v Speaker 3>gold medal. But every country has a different payment. This

0:01:44.440 --> 0:01:47.000
<v Speaker 3>is something I didn't realize. So there's like different incentives

0:01:47.000 --> 0:01:47.920
<v Speaker 3>across the world.

0:01:48.440 --> 0:01:52.720
<v Speaker 2>US athletes thirty seven five hundred, so almost sixty thousand dollars.

0:01:53.120 --> 0:01:56.440
<v Speaker 2>Singapore incredibly, probably because they don't have that many people

0:01:56.440 --> 0:02:00.320
<v Speaker 2>win a medal. They pay one point one million dollars

0:02:00.520 --> 0:02:01.680
<v Speaker 2>to whoever wins a gold medal.

0:02:01.760 --> 0:02:03.240
<v Speaker 3>I mean easy to say that, but if you're not

0:02:03.240 --> 0:02:05.080
<v Speaker 3>going to win any gold medals, it doesn't matter. They

0:02:05.080 --> 0:02:07.520
<v Speaker 3>could say you'll win too million dollars, but if there's

0:02:07.520 --> 0:02:09.200
<v Speaker 3>no one winning, then you don't have to pay it.

0:02:09.600 --> 0:02:12.320
<v Speaker 2>I found this really hard to believe, but we had

0:02:12.360 --> 0:02:15.639
<v Speaker 2>our entire team here do their due diligence.

0:02:16.320 --> 0:02:17.040
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, one person.

0:02:17.200 --> 0:02:22.440
<v Speaker 2>The United Kingdom, Sweden and Norway don't pay anything to

0:02:22.560 --> 0:02:24.120
<v Speaker 2>their winning athletes.

0:02:24.440 --> 0:02:27.400
<v Speaker 3>But you know how they make all their money. It's

0:02:27.680 --> 0:02:31.200
<v Speaker 3>no it's how most most athletes make their money in

0:02:31.200 --> 0:02:33.320
<v Speaker 3>Australia as well. They make it through endorsements. They make

0:02:33.360 --> 0:02:35.359
<v Speaker 3>it through brand deals and all that sort of stuff.

0:02:35.600 --> 0:02:37.799
<v Speaker 3>You know, Puma and Nike and added Ass. All those

0:02:37.800 --> 0:02:39.680
<v Speaker 3>sorts of things are how most of the athletes are

0:02:39.680 --> 0:02:40.480
<v Speaker 3>making their big dollars.

0:02:40.560 --> 0:02:43.440
<v Speaker 2>I have a friend that's there now, Darius Seville. She

0:02:43.639 --> 0:02:46.079
<v Speaker 2>is an Australian tennis player. She's one of the women's

0:02:46.120 --> 0:02:48.160
<v Speaker 2>top one hundreds. And if you want to go and

0:02:48.200 --> 0:02:50.600
<v Speaker 2>get like an inside look on what's happening in the village.

0:02:50.720 --> 0:02:53.079
<v Speaker 2>She's outing a lot of things that people probably don't

0:02:53.120 --> 0:02:56.480
<v Speaker 2>know about on her Instagram. So she's putting things like,

0:02:57.560 --> 0:03:00.280
<v Speaker 2>I mean, we all know they sleep on their cardboard beds, right, I.

0:03:00.240 --> 0:03:02.040
<v Speaker 4>Don't know if people know. They only found this out

0:03:02.040 --> 0:03:02.560
<v Speaker 4>this morning.

0:03:02.600 --> 0:03:06.080
<v Speaker 3>The nounk like the nook beds, which are like, if

0:03:06.080 --> 0:03:09.120
<v Speaker 3>you haven't heard this, it's like a cardboard slattered bed

0:03:09.480 --> 0:03:11.680
<v Speaker 3>that can only take the weight of one person. And

0:03:11.720 --> 0:03:13.680
<v Speaker 3>there was a big rumor going around that the reason

0:03:13.680 --> 0:03:16.360
<v Speaker 3>why they had these cardboard beds is to deter the

0:03:16.440 --> 0:03:18.400
<v Speaker 3>athletes from from getting a freaking no.

0:03:18.480 --> 0:03:20.519
<v Speaker 4>Because they provide them all with condoms. That's false.

0:03:20.600 --> 0:03:24.440
<v Speaker 2>They these cardboard These cardboard beds are so strong that

0:03:24.600 --> 0:03:27.359
<v Speaker 2>there's so many athletes showing them jumping on it, literally

0:03:27.440 --> 0:03:29.519
<v Speaker 2>jumping on it doing One of the divers was doing

0:03:29.600 --> 0:03:30.320
<v Speaker 2>like flips on it.

0:03:30.600 --> 0:03:31.840
<v Speaker 1>I think I was trying to get a bunk bed

0:03:31.840 --> 0:03:33.320
<v Speaker 1>in the studio. See if we can break it.

0:03:33.280 --> 0:03:35.520
<v Speaker 4>For who, Mitch, for who is going to go on

0:03:35.560 --> 0:03:36.120
<v Speaker 4>the bunk bed?

0:03:36.840 --> 0:03:37.200
<v Speaker 1>Pick up?

0:03:37.640 --> 0:03:40.720
<v Speaker 2>Okay, okay, everyone stated that the person I dated not

0:03:40.760 --> 0:03:42.240
<v Speaker 2>long ago had a cardboard bed.

0:03:43.800 --> 0:03:47.600
<v Speaker 4>There apparently very like environmentally friendly. That's why people do it.

0:03:47.600 --> 0:03:50.680
<v Speaker 3>I don't think it's the the rumor that's going around

0:03:50.760 --> 0:03:53.840
<v Speaker 3>the Olympics saying that it's for, you know, deterring people

0:03:53.840 --> 0:03:54.360
<v Speaker 3>from bonking.

0:03:54.400 --> 0:03:56.160
<v Speaker 4>I actually think it's so that there's less waste. They

0:03:56.200 --> 0:03:58.920
<v Speaker 4>can put that statement out. Laura, Sorry, I thought I

0:03:58.960 --> 0:04:03.240
<v Speaker 4>was with my tinfoil half article I did, and I

0:04:03.240 --> 0:04:05.160
<v Speaker 4>only read the headline. I thought I cracked it.

0:04:05.240 --> 0:04:07.200
<v Speaker 1>Next up the show, we all have a real flaky

0:04:07.280 --> 0:04:11.080
<v Speaker 1>friend in our life, one of those friends you come

0:04:11.120 --> 0:04:13.240
<v Speaker 1>and hang out and they don't hang out. Well, listen,

0:04:13.560 --> 0:04:17.000

<v Speaker 1>to know exactly where your flaky friends are at all times.

0:04:19.760 --> 0:04:22.240
<v Speaker 1>This will solve many friendships around Australia and I'm going

0:04:22.279 --> 0:04:23.839
<v Speaker 1>to I'm going to unveil it to the world next
