1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,360
Speaker 1: Jumb Mission with Jones and Amanda and.

2
00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:07,640
Speaker 2: I watched the Kathy Freeman documentary last night. Absolutely extraordinary

3
00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:10,680
Speaker 2: and you don't realize history is being made when you're

4
00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:13,080
Speaker 2: in it until you see it twenty years later and

5
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:15,880
Speaker 2: you go, wow, that was such a big deal. But

6
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:18,400
Speaker 2: I don't think I appreciated it as much as I

7
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:23,040
Speaker 2: do now, particularly how it unified our home, our whole country.

8
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:25,760
Speaker 2: And I remember like that Arthur Tuns still fools saying, oh,

9
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 2: you can't have the indigenous flag in the Australian flag.

10
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:30,320
Speaker 2: And I was kind of ambivalent to it back then,

11
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 2: and now I'm like, hang on. I was outraged that

12
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:33,639
Speaker 2: he would even say that.

13
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:36,639
Speaker 1: We've come along twenty years. Yeah, I think we.

14
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:39,480
Speaker 2: Have and we're getting there. I feel as a nation

15
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 2: with the Indigenoustralia and US, I think, and it's US now.

16
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 2: I feel there's an US. I don't know when, got

17
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 2: a long way to go, but watching it just in

18
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 2: myself my own attitudes, I've come a long way.

19
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 1: I feel well where a lot of us are looking

20
00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:00,120
Speaker 1: back at twenty years ago and what Sydney was like

21
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 1: during those Olympics, and we took calls on it the

22
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 1: other day the woman who had to give birth at

23
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 1: home because the torch was being carried past her house

24
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 1: and she couldn't get the car out. Remember the guy

25
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 1: who Newcastle UNI. The Dutch team were practicing there and

26
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 1: Peter van den Hoogan band names we haven't heard for ages,

27
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 1: was training and he said, oh, mate, you're never going

28
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 1: to beat Thorpie and fired him up to beat Thorpie.

29
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:23,479
Speaker 2: Read that backfire.

30
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:26,559
Speaker 1: The woman who saw Maurice Green doing a Wii Yeah,

31
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 1: wow wow, But I was sort of a tweet that

32
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 1: Scott Dooley. You know Scott Dooley from the wire, so

33
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:37,680
Speaker 1: I do a triple j. Yeah. He did this fantastic

34
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 1: series of tweets about an experience he had during the Olympics.

35
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 1: He said, I don't think I've told this story, but

36
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 1: the twenty year anniversary of twenty twenty of the two

37
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 1: thousand Olympic Games made me think of it. I was

38
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 1: living in Sydney twenty years old. The Games were, without

39
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 1: question the best. Every night there was a party, there

40
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 1: were pop up bars everywhere. It was a huge vibe.

41
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 1: Athletes were everywhere, and me and my mate started a

42
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 1: competition who could get the most photos with athletes I

43
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 1: was living with my parents and one they went to

44
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 1: the Greco Roman wrestling while I went to binge drink

45
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 1: near the fittest people on the planet. You could tell

46
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 1: who was official because they had huge accreditation and they

47
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:11,359
Speaker 1: didn't have bloodshed eyes from drinking to oblivion for a fortnight.

48
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 1: We see this big bloke with all the passes around

49
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:15,239
Speaker 1: his neck. So we go over to get a photo

50
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 1: and his name is Homer, like the beast ball, he said, Homer.

51
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 1: Homer's from Tunisia and about our age. We end up

52
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: taking Homer all over Sydney. The Bourbon and Beef Steak

53
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:26,239
Speaker 1: was a bar in the Cross. It was kind of

54
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 1: a place where if you're mucking around out the front,

55
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 1: they throw you in. Just starts Rookie Ponting, So we

56
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 1: took him there. We were seriously over refreshed. The night

57
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 1: was coming to an end, and as we were parting ways,

58
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 1: Homer said, I've missed my curfew. I can't sneak into

59
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 1: the village. I'll be sent home, I'll be disgraced my family,

60
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 1: my country. I said, come stat my place. So at

61
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 1: seven point thirty am, Homer is discovered sleeping on the

62
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 1: couch by my mother who thinks she's tripping because she'd

63
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 1: watched that man literally fighting for gold the night before

64
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 1: she made his breakfast. I spent the day showing Homer

65
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 1: my mate's houses and parts of Sydney, and we never

66
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 1: saw each other. A five years ago I was in

67
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:03,919
Speaker 1: a cab talking to the driver who said he was

68
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 1: a boxer from Tunisia. I started telling him the story,

69
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 1: and halfway through he stops me and finishes the story.

70
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,360
Speaker 1: He says, your mum saw him on the couch. Thought

71
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:15,359
Speaker 1: she was tripping because she'd seen him. What the actual

72
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 1: I said, and he said, bro home is one of

73
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 1: my best mates. Let's call him so in the front

74
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 1: seat of a cab. A decade and a half later,

75
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:26,080
Speaker 1: I reconnected with Homer. He had kids and we fondly

76
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 1: remembered our night on the tiles in Sydney. That's what

77
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 1: the Olympics are, Friendly fit people hanging with friendly drunks,

78
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:33,639
Speaker 1: making lifelong memories.

79
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 2: What a cool What a story? Pasure with Joins and

80
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 2: Amanda
