Speaker 1: Get to sit down and say, Hey, George, good sport, badsports, Oh,

11
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:35,519
Speaker 1: good sport, bad sport. You know what, I've got a

12
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:39,600
Speaker 1: bit of a random bad sport with the tenuous link

13
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:43,559
Speaker 1: that I'm going to link to sport, and that is

14
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 1: dear friend, dear friend of the podcast. You know, I've

15
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:51,559
Speaker 1: talked to the man multiple times, mister Timothy Shalla. May oh,

16
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 1: don't when you are embarking upon an Oscar's campaign to

17
00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 1: win the Best Actor Oscar something that you're very vocal

18
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 1: about winning, and that's the ambition we love. That's what

19
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,040
Speaker 1: is sport is all about. Okay, we love that, We

20
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:08,679
Speaker 1: love the belief in yourself. Maybe don't, and I say

21
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 1: this with an underline, don't take on the worlds of arts.

22
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 2: That you allegedly love, like opera and ballet and the

23
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 2: athletes within.

24
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 1: Those and piss them off and be like they don't

25
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 1: No one cares about that anymore. I was like, sir,

26
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,040
Speaker 1: hand hand the oscar back. Now, you're not gonna win it.

27
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 1: You're not gonna win it. But that is why he's

28
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 1: bad sport. But good sport has been the reaction of

29
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 1: the internet, but namely the ballet because they have been

30
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 1: coming out and selling tickets with the code word shallow

31
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 1: may for a discount.

32
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 3: No, no, they haven't. Yeah they also, yeah they have.

33
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 3: Some people might go, oh, ballet opera, that's a long

34
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 3: bow for sport. Ballet dancers are the most elite athletes

35
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 3: on earth, and they will take their shoes off and

36
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 3: throw them at you and they are heavy.

37
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 1: Yeah that's insane. Okay, that is why. And also Center

38
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 1: Stage braised us. So you know what has a spot

39
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 1: on this podcast at all times anything ballet relays. But

40
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 1: thank you Jelly for saying that if anyone has actually

41
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 1: tried to jump up and down in a plio or

42
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 1: whatever they're called and can do that with our breathing,

43
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,519
Speaker 1: or has gone to a bar Pallarate's class and managed

44
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 1: to walk properly afterwards.

45
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 2: I don't believe you. I do not believe you.

46
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,360
Speaker 1: They are athletes. They are athletes. Timothysh ollerway, we love you.

47
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 1: You're off your head. I don't know what you've done.

48
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 1: Why would you do this? If anyone's going to take

49
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 1: on anyone in the world of anything, but in terms

50
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:23,679
Speaker 1: of rivalries, why would you go for a Ballerida?

51
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 3: Why?

52
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:24,640
Speaker 1: Why?

53
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 3: I also think this is why some people are terrified

54
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,399
Speaker 3: to go on podcasts, because he made what he would

55
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 3: have thought was an irreverend, just like, oh, you know

56
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 3: opera ballet. Who's watching that next minute? Your life campaigns

57
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 3: up in smoke. Yeah, he had one hand on the

58
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:42,360
Speaker 3: oscar and literally the arts have said, not today, Timmy,

59
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 3: not today today, not today. You just cut what I

60
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 3: know anyway, I know that was you thinking. I know,

61
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 3: good sport, badsport from Timmy to Kimmy. Kimmy was not

62
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 3: in the country even though we did. People were tracking

63
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 3: the jet to see whether she would come down side.

64
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 3: I say, people, Jellmy, you were. It was the people.

65
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 3: The person was Agelmy.

66
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 2: Logged into the flight tracker being like, where is gimme.

67
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 3: That's a personal attack, but sure, the Formula one is

68
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 3: the best day out and I'll be the first of me.

69
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 3: It's the first time I've gone because I've always worked

70
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 3: for a rival network that haha didn't have the rights,

71
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 3: so they were very big on like thou shall not

72
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,080
Speaker 3: go and thou shall not promote or all the point,

73
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 3: don't have a day off to go and go to

74
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 3: another sports format. It was unbelievable. Oh my god, it

75
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,080
Speaker 3: was some and like just to be around that level

76
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 3: of elite performance and to watch the pit stops in

77
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 3: real time, it was fantastic. So that would be a

78
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 3: good sport on my part and another good sport that

79
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 3: we want to mention. Speaking of seven is an ex

80
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 3: colleague of mine in Mel McLaughlin, someone who is one

81
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 3: of the most recognizable sports broadcasters in the country. She's

82
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 3: come out recently in detailed that she's been fighting lung cancer,

83
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 3: something that is really personal to her, obviously for her

84
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 3: own plight, but also having lost her sister ten years

85
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 3: ago at the ripe old age of thirty nine to

86
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 3: this insidious disease. Mel had taken some time away from seven.

87
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 3: There was speculation was rife as to why that was

88
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 3: about where the other employees coming to the network is

89
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 3: the reason why that had been all the while she'd

90
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 3: been going through this private battle that she found out

91
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 3: since December. And one of the most remarkable things and

92
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 3: also one of the most female working in sport coded

93
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 3: things of this whole story was that she got her

94
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:29,279
Speaker 3: diagnosis and still worked the mcgra pink test, so did

95
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:32,039
Speaker 3: the pre match, went to the hospital and got a

96
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 3: blood test, and came back to do the lunch break

97
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,119
Speaker 3: because she wanted to still work.

98
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 1: Yep, yep, which is one hundred percent. You're so right, Joemy.

99
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:43,599
Speaker 1: That just sums up women working in sport and she

100
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 1: is not just a good sport Meil is such a

101
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 1: great sport. You worked with her more closely than me.

102
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 1: But every single time, every single encounter that I have

103
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,480
Speaker 1: had with that woman has been just joyous and positive.

104
00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 1: And this industry cops a lot of wax for the

105
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:05,599
Speaker 1: perceived competition that exists in particular between female coworkers.

106
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 2: And colleagues, but she is the absolute antithesis to that.

107
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 1: She has been always such a huge support, She's so

108
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,799
Speaker 1: phenomenal at her job, and we wrap our arms around

109
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: her because this is just awful to happen to anyone,

110
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:21,279
Speaker 1: Awful to happen when you're such a good human.

111
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 3: So she's had half a lung removed, which is it's

112
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 3: just unbelievable, and that she says at this point, the

113
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 3: doctors are happy in recovery is slow, but it's good.

114
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:33,600
Speaker 3: But we just want to take a moment to mention Mel,

115
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 3: but also just a cautionary tale to I think wider society.

116
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 3: The speculation that was going on about Mel's job while

117
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:47,160
Speaker 3: she was going through this, which is an incredibly personal

118
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 3: and medical battle. I think everyone just has to take

119
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 3: step back and remember the human side of the conversations

120
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 3: that you have. Sometimes just the thought of what she

121
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 3: would have been going through while also having the Daily

122
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 3: Man and different publications writing about the fact that she

123
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 3: may have lost her job is really really difficult. It's

124
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 3: really difficult, awful, and it's also something that you're not

125
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:12,599
Speaker 3: really expecting, you know what I mean. You're already going

126
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 3: through the most unexpected time in your life, and then

127
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,160
Speaker 3: you're also copy that you're like, wow, this is a

128
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 3: great great hit me when I'm down, Hit me when

129
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:20,480
Speaker 3: I'm down.

130
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 2: But Mel, we see you.

131
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 3: We're supporting you and just to echo your sentiments there

132
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 3: at Mel's one of the greats, and that you can

133
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 3: only have a career of her longevity and you know

134
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,280
Speaker 3: of its caliber by being a good person, I think,

135
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 3: because otherwise you get found out if you're there for

136
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 3: too long. And Mel, what you see is what you get.

137
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 3: And she's always been such a champion of minor and

138
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 3: just a really really lovely person. She's hoping to be

139
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 3: back as you do, to host the Calm Games and

140
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 3: the Rugby League World Cup. She's like, no, I'll be back.

141
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:52,479
Speaker 3: I'll be fine out. But we send her all of

142
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 3: the good love, all of the good wishes and yet

143
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:59,039
Speaker 3: the ultimate good sport and also just just media just

144
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:00,599
Speaker 3: sometimes to check yourself.

145
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:04,159
Speaker 1: Ye all right, I think in honor of our love

146
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 1: for Mel, something that Mel would love tell me is

147
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 1: just you know, us talking about sport in our way

148
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 1: that we do. So for our main discussion this week,

149
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 1: special shout out to me, McLaughlin, because you're gonna love it.

150
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 1: We are going to see who won the battle of

151
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 1: the sports headlines this week in what was one of

152
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 1: the biggest weeks on the sporting calendar. Okay, tell me

153
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 1: the gloves are off, let's begin. I should be running upstairs,

154
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 1: but we both don't. I don't have the cardio for that,

155
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 1: so let's not do that.

156
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 3: Bye. You were very good on the Amazing Race. Give

157
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 3: my gal some credit.

158
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 1: She lost every single foot race, but there was a

159
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 1: sprint to the line she lost, and you know it. Also,

160
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 1: can I just side note I have received it must

161
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 1: be like my calendar, so when we've recorded the Amazing Race,

162
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 1: it must be coming up to a year that I

163
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 1: don't know, maybe I kissed some random woman's feet, and

164
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 1: so my algorithm is like just constantly coming back with

165
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 1: reminders of that. And now I've got people in my

166
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 1: dms being like, just randomly, hey, remember when you kiss

167
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 1: that woman's feet.

168
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 3: Okay, I can't believe that we're going to do this

169
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 3: is a side note, so early in our main discussion,

170
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 3: but I can absolutely believe we're going to do this.

171
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 3: As a side note, so early in our main discussion,

172
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 3: there was a challenge where Georgie had to crack a

173
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 3: code and there was a lovely lady sitting at the

174
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 3: end with her bare feet, and Georgie went, oh, I've

175
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 3: finally got it. I have to kiss your toes and

176
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 3: the expression on this wonderful woman's face is something that

177
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:46,320
Speaker 3: I think of when I have dark forms, just to

178
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 3: try to lift me out of it. Because I've done

179
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:53,319
Speaker 3: some dumb shit, but I never kissed someone's feet unnecessarily

180
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:53,840
Speaker 3: on act.

181
00:08:57,679 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 2: Sorry, I just yeah, guys, Okay, you're welcome.

182
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:04,960
Speaker 3: This is a great example in a war for attention,

183
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,080
Speaker 3: Georgia kissed me to try to get out of it.

184
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 3: So what we're discussing this week, and quite genuinely, when

185
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,079
Speaker 3: you work in a newsroom or in a sports newsroom,

186
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 3: it is really difficult sometimes to decide what to lead with. Yes,

187
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 3: I believe that this week just gone is quite literally

188
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 3: the most difficult week of the calendar year to pick

189
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 3: what you are going to hero. We have the Formula

190
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 3: One in town with the new car's new rules, Oscar

191
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 3: Piasty crashing out before the race actually begat just oh.

192
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:39,079
Speaker 3: But then you've got Alisa Healy retiring, I know, I know,

193
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 3: we love her friend of the pod. And also like

194
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 3: a Test match which we never get to see for

195
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 3: Australian women's cricket against India. Of course, India are new

196
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 3: nemesis that we didn't know what's coming. We've got the Tillies.

197
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 3: Can I just say Mary Fowler starting Agana Kennedy getting

198
00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 3: a brace. I know things I never thought I would say.

199
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,200
Speaker 2: Oh, and I'll be able to be in the stands

200
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 2: for that. We'll get to that. We'll get to that.

201
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:07,679
Speaker 3: Now. We are, though, going to go with the real

202
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:11,239
Speaker 3: war here, and that is Andrew Dillon and Peter Velandi's

203
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 3: just scraping, scraping for headlines this week as opening round

204
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:22,840
Speaker 3: took on Vivanave Georgie, what did you think? What do

205
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 3: you genuinely think?

206
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 1: Well, look, look the Vegas round, which is, you know,

207
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:29,319
Speaker 1: the beginning weekend of the NRL.

208
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 2: The games count, they're for competition points.

209
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:34,679
Speaker 1: The AFL always tries to take headlines away from that.

210
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 1: You know how I feel about this. I have to

211
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 1: respect it because what else can you do? But overall

212
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 1: it's going to fail.

213
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 2: And then round zero or ground zero as I like

214
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 2: to call it in the af what are we doing?

215
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 2: It doesn't count?

216
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 1: Like we were back in Australia with the rest of

217
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:54,439
Speaker 1: just count with the rest of the first.

218
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 2: Round of the NRL.

219
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 1: Allegedly the Broncos ran out against the Panthers. I actually

220
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 1: didn't catch that game, so in mine, you.

221
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 3: Know, whol didn't catch during that game, didn't score.

222
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 2: Oh my god, guys.

223
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 3: It is the first time in thirty eight years that

224
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:13,960
Speaker 3: an defending premiere has failed to score.

225
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 1: And you know what, though I would be more apoplectic

226
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 1: about it, but we were so shit for like ninety

227
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 1: eight rounds last year until the final series. So I'm like,

228
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 1: hang on, we seem to be doing well. This is

229
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 1: what we did. This was our game plan. But losing

230
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 1: twenty six NIIL to the Panthers. You know, my thoughts

231
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 1: about the Panthers.

232
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 3: This has got nothing to do with Vegas because neither

233
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 3: of those teams got on the plane. I would say,

234
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 3: I understand you made this point, and I may have

235
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:47,680
Speaker 3: shut you down a few weeks ago, and now that

236
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 3: you've made it, I completely agree with you. Get the

237
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 3: best teams on the plane.

238
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 2: Get the best teams on the plane.

239
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:57,680
Speaker 3: This whole every You know, it's very very twenty twenty

240
00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:01,560
Speaker 3: five to be like everyone gets a go No, no really, no,

241
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 3: I want I want the teams I want to watch

242
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 3: and the glamour players in Vegas.

243
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:09,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, come on, come on, be what it should have been.

244
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 1: I mean, granted, if we put up a performance like

245
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:13,959
Speaker 1: twenty six nil against the.

246
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 2: Panthers, a terrible, terrible advertisement the game.

247
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:19,320
Speaker 3: But see, I would This is why I would say

248
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 3: the AFL won this.

249
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 1: Firstly, whoa okay, okay, okay, sorry nothing, What do you

250
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:26,320
Speaker 1: mean we have?

251
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 3: We have Charlie Kurno looking very brown and very happy

252
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:32,560
Speaker 3: in Swan's colors.

253
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:34,960
Speaker 2: He's looking healthy. He's looking to me, he's looking like

254
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 2: he lives at could you that's what he's looking like.

255
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:39,720
Speaker 3: Looking like the financial crisis is not a problem Charlie,

256
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 3: and whatever his deal was.

257
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:42,840
Speaker 2: His hair has never looked better, the curls, the humanity.

258
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:46,559
Speaker 3: So no, and also Carltlan have problems of their own,

259
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 3: but let's just let's just leave that. Let's sleeping dogs.

260
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 1: Lie.

261
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:54,840
Speaker 3: Dan Gorange taking on Jared Whiteley is the fight I

262
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:56,440
Speaker 3: didn't see coming in twenty twenty six.

263
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 2: I love it. And hey, do you know what, Jared

264
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 2: and Dan love you both.

265
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:02,719
Speaker 1: If you would like to just like fight it out,

266
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:04,319
Speaker 1: we can do a fight night on this podcast.

267
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:08,320
Speaker 3: No, we can't protect Jared Witeley at all costs. The

268
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 3: height differential would be awful, right, we can't be having

269
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 3: that the reason. But what I would like to stress

270
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:18,719
Speaker 3: is no one would be happier after opening round than

271
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:23,200
Speaker 3: AFL House because you've got the Swans looking great, You've

272
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:26,680
Speaker 3: got the Sons with Christian Petrarca having his highest rated

273
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:31,320
Speaker 3: game ever in the world's most horrendous training looking Guernsey.

274
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 3: Figure it out, Sons, it's all red with this weird

275
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 3: embossed s Do something. Do something to the pink Guernsy.

276
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 1: I know, but do something that's not hideous, do you

277
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 1: know what I mean. We've spoken about this before with

278
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 1: friend of the Pod Matt Raw. You know our favorite

279
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 1: Brownlow medalist. Okay, he's a fair person. I'm a fair person.

280
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 1: He has red hair. I have red hair.

281
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:54,960
Speaker 2: Like it's some colors don't working.

282
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 3: Some This is the other thing. The Sons were stunning

283
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 3: and he wasn't playing. I am terrified of what the

284
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:03,720
Speaker 3: Sons are going to look like with all of the

285
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 3: concessions that they've had, and Christian Petrarca wanting to prove

286
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:09,440
Speaker 3: that on track and Track point and Cookoo Track is

287
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:13,559
Speaker 3: just cooking up North I and Dimmer at the Helm.

288
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:15,840
Speaker 2: I actually think lock it in now.

289
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:17,719
Speaker 1: I mean, they're definitely top eight, They're going to be

290
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 1: top four and I reckon they could be in the

291
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 1: Grand Final.

292
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 2: I know we've had Literally it was round zero, I

293
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 2: remind everybody zero.

294
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 3: Christian Petraca was sitting at fifty one dollars to win

295
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 3: the Brown Low. He's now second favorite because everyone saw

296
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 3: that and thought, oh no, the man, he's there to

297
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 3: approve it, but honestly, and then you've got the Giants

298
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 3: with Clayton Oliver again looking happy in the midfield.

299
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 1: Clayton Oliver again in another Jersey crime against fair skinned people.

300
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 2: But yes, he actually looked. He looked happy.

301
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 1: You're right, he looked like he was playing happy footy

302
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 1: and his footy was all the better for it. I

303
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 1: was like, Okay, this Giants team's going to be good.

304
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 1: Everyone outside of Melbourne, all the teams outside of Melbourne

305
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 1: are going to do really well this year. The Lions, look,

306
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 1: we lost, however, it was probably the best game of

307
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 1: the weekend. You reckon against the Doggies both kicking over

308
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 1: one hundred oh high scoring games. That's the thing as well.

309
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 1: This has been high scoring games. I mean the Swan's

310
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 1: game against Carlton. I was like so boring at the

311
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 1: main break and then I was like, oh god, Carlton

312
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:17,560
Speaker 1: might actually pull this off.

313
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 2: Sorry, and then I remember they were Carlton. Oh sorry,

314
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 2: Blues fans. I'm sorry, you make it easy. I'm sorry,

315
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 2: And there they are.

316
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 3: Kick them all down, Karen.

317
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 2: So my best friends are Carlton fans.

318
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 1: But but it's very funny when you lose it just

319
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 1: is and then to for the kernel of it all,

320
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 1: I had to be happy for him. You know, I

321
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 1: have been quite harsh in terms of my judgment for him.

322
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 1: When he first made the call that he was going

323
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 1: to go to the Swans, I was like, I don't

324
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 1: know if this is going to be a good deal

325
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 1: for Sydney.

326
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 2: I don't know.

327
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 3: And look it is literally around need a Glamor forward, yes,

328
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 3: buddy out. Yes, they need someone that they can just

329
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 3: put on a poster. Yeah. And Isaac Heeney like obviously

330
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 3: fills that mold. And if isaaceni played in Melbourne the

331
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 3: DEMI god that he would be as opposed to the

332
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 3: afterthought that he sometimes is in Sydney. He's just remarkable.

333
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 2: But no, I agree, I agree.

334
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 1: I disagree with you that the AFL won the week

335
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:11,480
Speaker 1: because there was.

336
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 3: They don't Tom Hanks went to the Showgrounds I'm sorry.

337
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 2: Okay, that's great.

338
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 3: Do you hear that? That's my trump card? Tom Hanks

339
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 3: went to NG Stadium. Do you know that it's called

340
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 3: eng Stadium? No, you don't because no one has been

341
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 3: out there since the two thousand Olympics. It is a

342
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 3: ghost It is a ghost town. It is really difficult

343
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 3: to get people to go there, so much so that

344
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:37,640
Speaker 3: Mason Cox, when he wasn't playing for Free and was

345
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 3: playing for Collingwood and played in their opening round, he said,

346
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 3: I can't believe that we have to go where the

347
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 3: farm animals go and they had a petting zoo on

348
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:48,800
Speaker 3: game day at the Oval two years ago.

349
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 2: I did think it is that much of a terrible.

350
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 3: Like come on? And then Tom Hanks.

351
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 2: I was thinking.

352
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 1: I was just out at that Olympic precinct for the

353
00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 1: Tillies game, and the last time I was there was

354
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 1: the famously Taylor Well some of the greatest moments in

355
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:05,640
Speaker 1: my life. Taylor's was the Ears to her, but also

356
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:08,640
Speaker 1: the Brisbane Broncos Grand Final most recently wait.

357
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 3: For you, did they both happen at the same stadium? Yeah?

358
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, Oh Jesus, so that's where you and Rob

359
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:13,440
Speaker 3: were gonna get married.

360
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:16,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, sorry, that's where we finally we've got the venue. Oh,

361
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 2: we've got the venue. Come on, all the people that

362
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:23,679
Speaker 2: Rob knows Reese Walsh is the flower girl. God, this

363
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:24,960
Speaker 2: is great.

364
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:28,680
Speaker 3: For Rob's peace of mind. I don't think we can

365
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 3: have Reese Walsh anywhere near your wedding.

366
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 2: Does anyone now speak?

367
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:35,360
Speaker 1: Now for a and Joji be like, I love you.

368
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:39,880
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna have a little objection here. But yeah,

369
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:41,359
Speaker 1: it takes like an hour to get out of there.

370
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 1: So I did think when I saw the actual Captain

371
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 1: Phillips there at enery stadium, being like, now, how.

372
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:48,920
Speaker 2: The hell did wood he get there? How that has

373
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:51,160
Speaker 2: bulls eye around? Like, is he just like getting out

374
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:51,440
Speaker 2: of here?

375
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 3: Gave he gave one of these ones. He gave an umpire,

376
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:57,679
Speaker 3: although it was sort of like he came instead of

377
00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:01,960
Speaker 3: doing the flick the arms just straight from the shoulders down,

378
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:03,480
Speaker 3: which I don't mind.

379
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 1: How cowboys do it. You know he's got them Holsted.

380
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:08,119
Speaker 1: That's that's how it works.

381
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 3: Do you think he learned the moves for Woody? Is

382
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 3: that what you're suggested?

383
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 2: Of course I am.

384
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 3: He's a actor.

385
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:18,120
Speaker 1: He's a very good actor, very good actor. Okay, look

386
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 1: that star power. Okay, is he in any sporting movies?

387
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:23,199
Speaker 3: Tom Hanks, any sporting films?

388
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:25,640
Speaker 2: Oh we should know that, yes, lick of their own.

389
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:27,280
Speaker 2: Isn't he in that baseball?

390
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 3: I don't know what that is?

391
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 2: Baseball? That is baseball, the women's baseball.

392
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 3: You know this about me? I'm a sleepless in Seattle

393
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 3: meets You've got male I'm literally googling, Yes, yes, Jenny, Yes.

394
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:41,840
Speaker 2: It's got Geena Davis in it. When she's so hot.

395
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 1: He's like, so there he's got. He's taking that to

396
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 1: the Giants. And look, they played for him. They played

397
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 1: for him.

398
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:49,880
Speaker 2: So it worked. It really did work.

399
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:52,680
Speaker 3: I would also like to nominate that that Giants doco

400
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:54,119
Speaker 3: is sensational.

401
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 2: Oh really, I haven't watched it.

402
00:18:55,800 --> 00:19:00,919
Speaker 3: Oh my god, Georgie. So it's gone in behind the

403
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:05,920
Speaker 3: scenes of Adam Kingsley's spray when the Giants are down

404
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:08,719
Speaker 3: to Sydney. Then they come and do this almighty turnaround,

405
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 3: and it is sensational. Now I've already sworn once in

406
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 3: this pod, so I will try to keep it to

407
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 3: a minimum and put the f in. But he literally

408
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:19,720
Speaker 3: and there's no editing. It's just an in and out

409
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:21,679
Speaker 3: and he goes stupid.

410
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:25,080
Speaker 4: F and me came in here today thinking we were

411
00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:28,920
Speaker 4: an e F and chance, but for some reason against miss.

412
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 3: Mob, you're weak as pest. And I'm like, oh my god.

413
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,199
Speaker 3: And he literally singled everyone out and he looked like

414
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 3: he was gonna murder everyone. Everyone. Everyone was dead and

415
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 3: Adam Kingsley could He's a big man. It was Chef's kiss.

416
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 3: It was so cool.

417
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:48,359
Speaker 1: What I'm really excited for is that I want that

418
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:53,400
Speaker 1: clip of you him and you and him going word

419
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:55,400
Speaker 1: for word, because I tell you what, I would run

420
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 1: through a brick wall for you.

421
00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 3: Well they did. They did. They turned the whole game

422
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:02,720
Speaker 3: around and everyone said yeah. And he singled out individual

423
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 3: players and it was stunning and I won't name the player,

424
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:07,360
Speaker 3: but he was essentially like to.

425
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:11,360
Speaker 4: How many how many springing meters have you had? Twenty

426
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 4: three dry fucking run?

427
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 3: I can imagine you'd be like, if there was an

428
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 3: eject button, Oh, can I just check ambulance?

429
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 2: Get it in here, get me out.

430
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 3: But this is I'm loving. It's the drive to survive

431
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:34,639
Speaker 3: into other docos, into clubs like the Giants going. We

432
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 3: need people to know where about if you're going to

433
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:39,199
Speaker 3: get on board. Maybe Tom Hanks will make a cameo,

434
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:42,680
Speaker 3: who knows, but it was. I think it's on seven plus.

435
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 3: I think that was the Channel seven one. I know

436
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 3: Colling would have done another one.

437
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 2: Of course they have. Is it just called dekos because

438
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:49,920
Speaker 2: that's what it should be called.

439
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:53,359
Speaker 1: I feel that our love of NRL and AFL to

440
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 1: the side.

441
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:56,360
Speaker 2: Let's call that a draw. But NRL wins.

442
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:59,480
Speaker 1: In terms of the other huge events that definitely captured

443
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:04,720
Speaker 1: our attention. Really, in all honesty, the number one story

444
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 1: was Oscar Pastry crashing out before like.

445
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 3: No, no, don't, don't.

446
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 2: I wanted a week of morning to be announced immediately.

447
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 3: We're in it. We're in the morning, that.

448
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:20,159
Speaker 2: Poor poor man.

449
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:23,480
Speaker 1: There is a stand, as you know, and I know

450
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:26,120
Speaker 1: because we were both there at the Grand Prix, a

451
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:30,639
Speaker 1: stand called the Oscar Pastree Stand. Every second person is

452
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 1: in his gym, every fourth person has his McLaren hat on.

453
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:38,360
Speaker 1: Those caps are one hundred dollars. They're so expensive.

454
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 3: People can afford it. That go to the F one Georgie.

455
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:44,439
Speaker 3: But it became apparent it was a very rich person party.

456
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 2: Oh it was a very wealthy party.

457
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 1: But I just feel so bad for he was devastated

458
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 1: after that, so I didn't even know what happened. I've

459
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 1: heard reports that it was like it was actually more

460
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:55,679
Speaker 1: driver era. When I first saw it, I was like,

461
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:57,919
Speaker 1: is it the card at the back wheels? Like lock up,

462
00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:00,679
Speaker 1: he's on the warm up lap, Like this does doesn't happen?

463
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:03,400
Speaker 3: No, it doesn't happen. It doesn't happen. I think they're

464
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:06,680
Speaker 3: still all getting used to the cars truly, And if

465
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:08,359
Speaker 3: you did look at the stands, they were either in

466
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 3: these teal sort of Oscar shirts or McLaren orange. These

467
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:15,199
Speaker 3: were these were your two options, and it was just

468
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:17,920
Speaker 3: having known that he also crashed out, granted it was

469
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 3: still in the race in last season at home. He's

470
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:23,200
Speaker 3: a Bratton boy, so he grew up and Albert Park

471
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:26,920
Speaker 3: was his home track. And how much anticipation was coming

472
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:30,160
Speaker 3: into this season, given he came so close last year

473
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:34,720
Speaker 3: to being the Driver's Champion was just awful.

474
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 2: Yeah.

475
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was his third row on the greed. What

476
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 1: was he like fifth fastest. It was just so heartbreaking

477
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:43,200
Speaker 1: and jump. I mean you were there. I've heard that

478
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:45,239
Speaker 1: it was like when that happened, there was just like

479
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 1: this silence just went around the whole ground.

480
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 2: And everyone was just like, oh.

481
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 3: It was a gasp, and then everyone was completely silent.

482
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:54,200
Speaker 3: It was just like you almost couldn't process. And in

483
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:56,879
Speaker 3: my head, I'm like, the race hadn't started. Can we

484
00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:58,680
Speaker 3: get him another car? How do we like?

485
00:22:59,000 --> 00:22:59,239
Speaker 1: You know?

486
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:01,359
Speaker 3: But part of his this is this is.

487
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:05,160
Speaker 5: So unfair and and get out of your car. Get

488
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:08,440
Speaker 5: out of your car. It's his home, GP get out.

489
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 5: I thought the same in that river showing get out.

490
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:11,920
Speaker 5: He wasn't the bloody.

491
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:12,680
Speaker 2: Reigning world champion.

492
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:12,879
Speaker 1: I was.

493
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:15,399
Speaker 2: I'd be like, get out. We need your car, babe,

494
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:16,080
Speaker 2: we need your car.

495
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 1: Because also, in of course, the day before, Kimi Antonelli

496
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:22,879
Speaker 1: for Mercedes, he completely his car was like destroyed, and

497
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:24,840
Speaker 1: they managed to pull that off and he came second

498
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:25,760
Speaker 1: on race day.

499
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:27,320
Speaker 2: So I was like, maybe.

500
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:28,959
Speaker 1: There's a miracle that can happen if they got an

501
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:30,680
Speaker 1: extra Shassi that they could just put out there.

502
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 2: No, it was it was too big to overcome.

503
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 3: I think the cautionary tail other than Oscar from the

504
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 3: weekend was just how good Mercedes are.

505
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:40,600
Speaker 1: Which we did learn, didn't we Gunta told us, we did,

506
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:42,880
Speaker 1: tried to tell us, Gunden tried to.

507
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:44,600
Speaker 3: Tell us that it was going to be King George

508
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:46,120
Speaker 3: and what happened, well more the point he didn't try

509
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:47,480
Speaker 3: to tell us. He told us you're welcome.

510
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, he told you guys. You knew it first.

511
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:50,680
Speaker 3: So I hope when people like, who do you think

512
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:52,399
Speaker 3: is going to win? You're like, well, I hear that

513
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:53,920
Speaker 3: George Russ was gonna be quite good. You would have

514
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:55,920
Speaker 3: sound like a genius if you listen to us. That's right,

515
00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:58,720
Speaker 3: just saying saying, and by that we mean gunta. But

516
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:01,200
Speaker 3: I think it's going to be a really interesting watch

517
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:04,199
Speaker 3: to see how the cars progress and how the drivers

518
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:07,639
Speaker 3: progress in learning like these new regulations and all the

519
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 3: bits and pieces. It's so interesting.

520
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:11,679
Speaker 1: Oh I love, I love, I love, I love. I

521
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 1: think that that ultimately one for me. We have mentioned

522
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 1: a special shout out to Elisa Healy. It was really

523
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:18,760
Speaker 1: joyous to be back at a Tilly's game, Can I

524
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 1: just say so? I was there broadcasting the news for

525
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 1: their match against South Korea or Korea Republic, and I

526
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:29,680
Speaker 1: was nervous. I was real nervous. I was like, we're

527
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:32,879
Speaker 1: not gonna We're not gonna win this game. And unfortunately

528
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:34,679
Speaker 1: we didn't win, but at least we've got a draw. However,

529
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:37,240
Speaker 1: it does mean that the Tillies have to go to Perth,

530
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:40,159
Speaker 1: so our route through the Asian Cup is just that

531
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:43,280
Speaker 1: little bit harder. But anytime Sam kurscores, it's gonna be

532
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:47,159
Speaker 1: a great time. Alana Kennedy she's so underrated, still still,

533
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:49,720
Speaker 1: I think she's so underrated. It's unbelievable. She's in this

534
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:53,119
Speaker 1: scoring purple patch. And Mary Fowler is just better than everyone.

535
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:56,360
Speaker 1: Mary Fowler she has time. I don't know what she does.

536
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:58,359
Speaker 1: It's like she's in a time machine. Nathan Cleary and

537
00:24:58,400 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 1: I were sitting in the stands cheering on our girl

538
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:04,680
Speaker 1: and she is just so so good, so good.

539
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 3: Did you see, Nathan Cleary? They did that trend that

540
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:11,000
Speaker 3: spiked after the Winter Olympics and the men's hockey team

541
00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 3: doing what the wet men's ice hockey team did. But

542
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:15,960
Speaker 3: they're like, who's your favorite female athlete? And they put

543
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:18,400
Speaker 3: it to Nathan Cleary and he's like, are you serious?

544
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 3: But also, oh my god, that should have been my

545
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:21,679
Speaker 3: bad sport?

546
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 2: What's your bad?

547
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 3: Serena Williams is not an answer.

548
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:28,399
Speaker 2: Oh yeah. All of these.

549
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:31,960
Speaker 3: Men's sporting teams, so they're elite at what they do.

550
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:35,800
Speaker 3: Being asked who's your favorite female athlete, and instead of

551
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:38,080
Speaker 3: shooting from within the pool that they play in, I

552
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:40,480
Speaker 3: don't know, know the best female at your sport. They've

553
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:44,040
Speaker 3: all gone, ah, yeah, love love Serena. I know, I know,

554
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:46,720
Speaker 3: she's just plain no. It would be the equivalent of

555
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:50,920
Speaker 3: us being like, oh, favorite male athlete Michael Jordan, thank you,

556
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:53,159
Speaker 3: thank you, like really glad, really glad we got that

557
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:54,920
Speaker 3: one out, thank you. Oh. There's just so many I

558
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:58,439
Speaker 3: could think of what I know, and even worse, the

559
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:00,080
Speaker 3: social media teams published it.

560
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 2: I can't. I know. There's got to come on, guys.

561
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 1: It's like, let's think, let's think about things, because I'm

562
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:07,639
Speaker 1: like for them, word them up, give them something like

563
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:08,920
Speaker 1: come on, come on guys.

564
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:11,520
Speaker 3: But also when they're like my daughter likes playing sport,

565
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:15,360
Speaker 3: that's awesome, that's not the answer we're looking for. I'm

566
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:19,080
Speaker 3: looking for Nicola Olislager's that's what I want. I want

567
00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:20,400
Speaker 3: you to know something.

568
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:24,680
Speaker 1: I want you to know anything, anything.

569
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:28,520
Speaker 2: Oh okay, yeah, you're right, you're right. It's worthy. It's

570
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:29,360
Speaker 2: a worthy inclusion.

571
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:32,119
Speaker 3: I didn't mean to sit quay so quickly out of

572
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:33,639
Speaker 3: the chillies. And we do want to mention that the

573
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:37,159
Speaker 3: Asian Cup they have sold more tickets and early in

574
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:39,480
Speaker 3: the group stages than what had ever been sold in

575
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:41,480
Speaker 3: a complete Asian Cup and we're not even in the

576
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:45,879
Speaker 3: knockout phases yet. So that is incredible, the following them

577
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:47,959
Speaker 3: that they've had, and it is really difficult to do

578
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,240
Speaker 3: that off the back of a World Cup and people

579
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:53,440
Speaker 3: expecting you to reach that same level of fever pitch

580
00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 3: in this pool of competition. But we know the Chillies

581
00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 3: are still in the running, which is all we really want.

582
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:02,199
Speaker 3: Knockout stages in tournaments yuck. We hate, we hate that

583
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 3: you can have one bad game and it's out. But

584
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 3: that's where champions are made. And we will be talking

585
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:11,000
Speaker 3: and doing a further discussion about this Iranian women's football

586
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:13,960
Speaker 3: team because it doesn't fit the context of how we're

587
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:15,440
Speaker 3: talking about it now, George.

588
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:16,879
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, no, no, no, that will be coming up

589
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:18,680
Speaker 1: for you. We're going to get you the inside story

590
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:21,920
Speaker 1: on everything that is happening with that before we end

591
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:25,400
Speaker 1: our unhinged episode. Jemy, of course, we must. We must

592
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:27,800
Speaker 1: do a fun fact. We must have got one.

593
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:30,960
Speaker 3: I've got and I forgot about it, but now I remember.

594
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:34,960
Speaker 3: Got fun fact during the Winter Paralympic Games because we're

595
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:39,480
Speaker 3: allowed to say those words. Did you know that someone

596
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:43,119
Speaker 3: stole two of the curling stones? No way? What do

597
00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:46,720
Speaker 3: you mean? They were Team Canada. They weigh twenty kilos

598
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 3: each and only like one hundred and twenty of them

599
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:55,399
Speaker 3: were made for the competition. Someone nicked off with forty

600
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:58,520
Speaker 3: kilos worth of merch? How how what do you do?

601
00:27:58,760 --> 00:27:59,960
Speaker 3: What do you need a curling ston?

602
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:02,399
Speaker 2: How are you getting our luggage number?

603
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:05,680
Speaker 3: Wow? What are you paying for excess?

604
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:06,680
Speaker 2: Out of Mallah?

605
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 3: Who is it?

606
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:11,679
Speaker 2: Actually?

607
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 3: Like?

608
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:14,640
Speaker 2: What the Paralympic curling teams have they got some suspects?

609
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 3: I don't know, but I have great suspicions that it's

610
00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 3: anyone who was sitting at home going curling. How hard

611
00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:26,320
Speaker 3: can that be? Nick? A couple of stones and see

612
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:28,679
Speaker 3: how we go? But this is a genuine story.

613
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:31,560
Speaker 2: I have not seen that at all, and I have

614
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:32,600
Speaker 2: not believe.

615
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:34,440
Speaker 3: What what are you going to do with them? Oh?

616
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:35,119
Speaker 2: My god?

617
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 3: I can carry twenty kegs? How actually you probably could

618
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:39,680
Speaker 3: you lift? I cannot?

619
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:43,320
Speaker 1: Well, thank you thank you for noticing. Look to be honest,

620
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:45,440
Speaker 1: though probably couldn't, probably couldn't. And you know what, you

621
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:47,440
Speaker 1: know what though I lift, and I tell people I lift,

622
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:49,280
Speaker 1: So if I've stolen a curling stone, I'll be telling

623
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:50,440
Speaker 1: you that I stolen the curling stones.

624
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 3: You'll you'll be using them to do your biceps. In
