38
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:49,360

Speaker 2: Jelmy.

42
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 1: I would like to start things with an event that

43
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 1: I'm calling it now, aside from the Olympic spoiler, we'll

44
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:16,800
Speaker 1: get to them. It's going to be the primo event

45
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 1: of the year and that is the Formula One season.

46
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 2: No to the Australian Open. I'm sorry, but you're not

47
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 2: in our season, so you don't count yours open just

48
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 2: doesn't exist. Don't worry about it. But Formula One it

49
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:33,079
Speaker 2: is just going from strength to strength. Drive to Survive

50
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 2: just capturing this whole new audience. And we've already seen

51
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:39,640
Speaker 2: that at the Formula one last year. You cannot go

52
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 2: anywhere near Albert Park. Good luck to you.

53
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, make alternate plans unless you're planning to go. Also,

54
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 1: I think that the scale has shifted so much that

55
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 1: people adore F one so much and the Australian Grand

56
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 1: Prix in particular.

57
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:54,800
Speaker 2: That they may even be like, make it permanent. Just

58
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,080
Speaker 2: put the track there full time. Seriously, just keep it up.

59
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:58,959
Speaker 1: We just want to see it as a living monument

60
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 1: to the sport. That is how popular it is now.

61
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:07,519
Speaker 2: Lewis Hamilton joining Ferrari crazy this happened to the joke

62
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 2: headline that then became a thing. Oh my god.

63
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 1: I cannot wait for the next season of Drive to

64
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 1: Survive where we figure we I want the vision of

65
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 1: when Toto, the Mercedes boss, finds out that Lewis is

66
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 1: not going to be driving for them anymore.

67
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:24,919
Speaker 2: I think we've seen this sort of footage where he's like, oh,

68
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 2: you know, we just we came to an agreement. You

69
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:29,799
Speaker 2: know they've they've played it very cool. He basically said,

70
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,080
Speaker 2: he came over for a cup of tea. Oh my god,

71
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 2: so Britain, very britt came for a tea and by

72
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 2: the end he was gone. But you know, such a

73
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 2: fine aunt of thirty nine. I know he's the lebron

74
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 2: direct years seven time world champion.

75
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 1: That is why this is going to be an exceptional

76
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 1: season of the Formula One because it's.

77
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 2: The last time that we're going to see him race

78
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 2: for Mercedes. And we've also got Danny Rick coming as

79
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 2: not a marketing man for Red Bull, he's got a

80
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 2: seat which has excitedly got a seat, and Oscar Piastre.

81
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 2: So we've got two Aussie's that we really need to

82
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 2: keep an eye on. But we will push on. But

83
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 2: you can look forward to that it's coming this month. Yes,

84
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 2: this way to Australia. On Daniel Riccardo.

85
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 1: Jelm me because what I would like everyone to also

86
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 1: look out for in the Formula One stakes is the

87
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 1: ridiculous of some of the team names.

88
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:17,480
Speaker 2: Now, so there was a team that was.

89
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 1: Called Alpha Torri, which is who Daniel Riccardo was driving.

90
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:24,039
Speaker 1: For that has now been changed to Visa Cash app

91
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 1: RB because that really rolls off the tongue. And then

92
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 1: the former team Alpha Romeo is now called stake f

93
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 1: one team kicks Alba.

94
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:35,039
Speaker 2: Sometimes as a sports journalist, it feels like a personal attack.

95
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 2: I'm not reading that on there. I know no one's

96
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 2: reading I'm not. I can't even I need to read

97
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 2: it again. Visa Cash at RBF one team you have

98
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 2: used up all your vowels. Yeah, and a little bit

99
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 2: of a behind the veil here.

100
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:51,039
Speaker 1: I'm very interested to see how ABC journalists do this,

101
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 1: because you're actually not meant to say brand brand names

102
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 1: during any kind of read. So like, for instance, Amy Park,

103
00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:00,600
Speaker 1: which is the stadium here in Melbourne, it would be

104
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 1: Melbourne Rectangular Stadium.

105
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 2: Is what you'd have to call it.

106
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 1: So in any single broadcast or bulletin from the public broadcaster,

107
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 1: you'd be.

108
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,719
Speaker 2: Like, now, where where are they playing? Melbourne Rectangular Stadium? Op?

109
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 2: Just stadium, No, No, Perth Stadium, paid town not for

110
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 2: the right.

111
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 1: I think it's SeaBus super Stadium now, but it used

112
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 1: to be one eight hundred smiles and they'd let you

113
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:25,039
Speaker 1: can't say one eight hundred smiles like I would have

114
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 1: calls for like, I also don't want to.

115
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 2: So here we are playing in Townsville. I mean, it's

116
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 2: just going to be a case of and Danny Ricardo

117
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,039
Speaker 2: in fourteenth and people who want to know what he

118
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 2: drives for is just not going to So enjoy, enjoy.

119
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:42,160
Speaker 1: This is a top three event for me in twenty twenty,

120
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 1: fourth the Formula One season, seeing all the drama, how

121
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 1: it all plays.

122
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 2: And in Bahrain, it'll shock you. Maxis Staban was in

123
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:51,719
Speaker 2: pole and one. You can just pencil it in wow, wow,

124
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 2: wow wow. Will anyone beat him? Oh? I think that

125
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:55,920
Speaker 2: he goes back to back to back. Yeah. I think

126
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 2: he's already back to back to back, so it'd be

127
00:05:57,720 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 2: back to back to back to back.

128
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, my god, he's like, he's like Simone Bars.

129
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 2: He's an actual freak. I've lost myself there. So let's

130
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 2: get on to the men's T twenty World Cup. It's

131
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 2: going to be held in the USA, George, So, I

132
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 2: know this will shock you, but cricket has already dominated

133
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 2: the Indian market, so they're looking elsewhere. But I know

134
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 2: that we said that last year is the year of

135
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 2: the World Cups. But T twenty cricket. They decide to

136
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 2: do it every two years, so we are going to

137
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 2: the States.

138
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,480
Speaker 1: Cannot believe there are more World Cups, like I cannot

139
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 1: believe in twenty twenty four. It will still be a

140
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 1: topic of conversation for us. The men's tournament is happening

141
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 1: sometime in June. What is your care factor right now

142
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 1: for T twenty cricket, Jemmy Hi Hi.

143
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:42,159
Speaker 2: I like T twenty, Like T twenty cricket. It's crash, bash, enjoy.

144
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 2: I don't know it insaturated. I feel like we, oh yeah, cricket.

145
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,279
Speaker 2: Cricket as a rule is oversaturating. Cricket Is themselves would

146
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,039
Speaker 2: say that it's oversaturated because by the time they go

147
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,160
Speaker 2: and play in the IPL and then also at home

148
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 2: and there's one days and then there's you know, the

149
00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 2: series I just played against New Zealand, it feels like unrelent. Yes,

150
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 2: I wonder when they see their families. I don't know,

151
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:05,839
Speaker 2: but a World Cup and you know what we love

152
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 2: about this It is like the Dolphins. We tend to win.

153
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 2: I know T twenty well, especially for the women's we

154
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 2: tend to win. So we'll get onto that. So the

155
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 2: women's is in September October, Bangladesh makes a lot more

156
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 2: sense than the USA. Yeah, I wonder if Americans watch

157
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 2: being like, so it's baseball, but they don't run to bases. Yeah,

158
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 2: what are weird? Just back and forth. So it's a

159
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 2: baseball bat that's been run over. And to be fair,

160
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 2: a lot of the T twenty strokes actually reflect baseball.

161
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 2: It is true. You are right, You are right, because

162
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 2: they're just swing it. Yeah. Yeah, so maybe they will

163
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 2: like it.

164
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 1: Maybe this is actually a genius move of them, and

165
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 1: they will get some of the American market.

166
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 2: Well, they've already started having TA twenty teams over there.

167
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 2: Oh yes, of course, and we've seen Australians go over

168
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 2: and play, so maybe maybe this is the new frontier.

169
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 1: But we imagine when we see our first USA grown cricketer.

170
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 2: Weird, weird, so weird. So I mean we welcome it.

171
00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 2: But for the women's team, no med Glanning AlSi shirt

172
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 2: fronting people, I love her and pitch invaders be worried.

173
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 2: Yeah is she? How do you think that she differs

174
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 2: as a captain to Meg Lanning. I mean, it's always

175
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 2: hard to comment on leadership unless you're around the team.

176
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 2: But the one thing I will say about Alisa Hilly.

177
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 2: She is fantastic media talent. Yes, she always makes herself available.

178
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 2: She's dry, she's funny, and I think that she's been

179
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 2: part of this team and this makeup for as long

180
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 2: as Meg has, so you still have one of the

181
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 2: veterans of the game as a leader. But I'm excited

182
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 2: about Yeah, Annabelle Sutherlandalie McGrath, you've got that young talent.

183
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 2: And I say young, but they've been around for a

184
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 2: long time now, but they're just so talented. And I

185
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,680
Speaker 2: think our women's team are just doing what they do

186
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 2: so out of pinch.

187
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 1: Are you looking more forward to the women's T twenty

188
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 1: or the men's Tea twent We both know I'm looking

189
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 1: forward to.

190
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 2: This the AFL season around. Why did we just do

191
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 2: the Carlton Thinks song? Maybe they're the team that we're

192
00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 2: most looking forward to seeing.

193
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 1: Well, well tell me that's how actually quite genius from

194
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:05,680
Speaker 1: us and it was unintentional. But but do you think

195
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 1: I mean, we did a whole episode last season on

196
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 1: the Carlton Blues and Lids off and how excited their

197
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 1: fans were.

198
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 2: Are the Lids on or off? For Carlton this year. Oh,

199
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 2: I'd hope that Bank Finals. Yes, I'd hope they would

200
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:22,320
Speaker 2: once again make the eight. It's very very hard to

201
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 2: win and it's very very hard to go back to back.

202
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,200
Speaker 2: So that's probably the question is that Collingwood was so

203
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:30,840
Speaker 2: dominant last season, can they do it again? Yes? I

204
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,559
Speaker 2: think yes. I think Brisbane, who, let's be honest, were

205
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 2: within a kick at the very late stages of the

206
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:37,559
Speaker 2: Grand Final last year. I'd definitely a team to watch.

207
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 1: Yes, I just don't think that they found the killer instinct. Yeah,

208
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 1: the Lions, and they have twenty twenty four to prove

209
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 1: me wrong. But remember all last season I was like,

210
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:47,680
Speaker 1: I just don't believe and that hurts me as a

211
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:50,680
Speaker 1: Brisbane fan. But I think that the Pies will go

212
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 1: back to back. I think that Saint Kilda will be

213
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 1: a rogue top four chance. I think that they really yep, yep,

214
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:00,680
Speaker 1: I think that they could be doing something backing in

215
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 1: the boss yep. I reckon that I'm going to see

216
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 1: some improvement. Do I feel that the Kangaroos there'll be

217
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 1: any joy for those fans? Early signs are no, but

218
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:15,440
Speaker 1: surely they can be a little bit better. I'm betting

219
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:18,199
Speaker 1: that the Kangaroos don't finish bottom of the table.

220
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 2: Poor West Coast. Is that what you're doing? Is that

221
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:21,560
Speaker 2: who you've left that with?

222
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 1: I hadn't actually I hadn't actual thought about who were

223
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 1: at the bottom.

224
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:26,679
Speaker 2: But maybe it may be. It may be for me

225
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 2: if it's not Collingwood Giants I think might be premiers

226
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 2: this year. Interesting okay, like just seem to have all

227
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 2: the pieces they need and Kingsley doing an amazing job,

228
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 2: and of course Richmond Richard Richmond Partner works.

229
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 1: Ru any other rogue rogue choices for you?

230
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 2: I mean I've gone with Saints' top four. Yeah, no,

231
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:51,320
Speaker 2: that is definitely rogue. I think it's so early, Like

232
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:53,840
Speaker 2: I always think that making these predictions this early just

233
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 2: never make it like a genius, make it like an

234
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:58,319
Speaker 2: absolute peenut. But you best believe if we come, if

235
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:00,439
Speaker 2: the Saints get anywhere near that top four, I'll be fine.

236
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 2: In this audio, Yes and time Code, thank you for

237
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:07,960
Speaker 2: your time a a league. It doesn't mean much to you, Georgie,

238
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,440
Speaker 2: and you are still recovering from the emotional effects of

239
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:13,679
Speaker 2: the Grand Final last year. The NRL season, will the

240
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:18,439
Speaker 2: Broncos finally return joy to the tunny household. Yes, yes

241
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 2: we will. I am calling it now.

242
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 1: The Brisbane Broncos are winning the NRL Premiership for twenty

243
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 1: twenty four.

244
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 2: Take off the metaphorical Broncos beanie, but you physically actually

245
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:30,440
Speaker 2: wear throughout the season. You don't have it on you

246
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 2: at the moment. The Panthers are pretty unbelievable. Yes, but

247
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 2: they have lost a lot of their core group, but

248
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,679
Speaker 2: not Nathan Cleary, not Nathan.

249
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 1: Clearier or who I would like to say, mister Mary Fowler,

250
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 1: not mister Mary Fowler.

251
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 2: But they don't have lua. They look very happy.

252
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:46,440
Speaker 1: They do look really side note, let's stop. They do

253
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 1: look really happy. Just the ultimate Australian sport power couple.

254
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 1: You've got Lisa Heay and Mitchell Stark and you've got

255
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:53,839
Speaker 1: bloody Nathan Cleary and Mary Fowler.

256
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 2: I mean they're slightly different because one are married. Oh yeah,

257
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 2: but we do wish Mary Fowler of of Matilda's fame,

258
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 2: all the best or their future. Moile.

259
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 1: I do, I legitimately do think though that the Broncos

260
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 1: will win this season. I think that the Newcastle Knights

261
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 1: are going to be a surprise packet of a team.

262
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,320
Speaker 1: I think that they're going to do very well. I

263
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:16,719
Speaker 1: see Penrith having dominance, but I don't see them being

264
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 1: as strong. Also, what I'm looking forward to in Rougy

265
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:21,080
Speaker 1: League this season steat of origin.

266
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:24,439
Speaker 2: Obviously you and everybody else.

267
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:27,960
Speaker 1: Obviously we have games in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. Basically

268
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 1: that means there's two home games for Queensland because Melbournians

269
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:32,440
Speaker 1: don't go for the New South Wales, they only go

270
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:33,199
Speaker 1: for Queensland.

271
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 2: That is true. Yeah, one hundred percent, they're going to play.

272
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 2: If you're not with you, you're against it. No, like

273
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:43,680
Speaker 2: for whatever reason it is. It's the hot sister. Yeah

274
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 2: you're either her or you kind of hate it. But

275
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:46,839
Speaker 2: also news they just don't care.

276
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:48,960
Speaker 1: Sidney girls don't care if you hate them, Like you know,

277
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 1: that's that's the thing. Everyone's like, we hate you, and

278
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:52,959
Speaker 1: they're like whatever, we're the hot one.

279
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 2: We're the hot one, so you stop coming at me.

280
00:12:56,120 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 2: You can't afford to live here, bro literally them.

281
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:02,680
Speaker 1: I am intrigued to see how the New South Wales

282
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 1: Blues go. Hopefully they don't win. That's my personal bias.

283
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 1: But they do have a new coach in Michael maguire,

284
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 1: So will that make any difference.

285
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 2: Possibla, possibla. But Billy Slater's for queenslandsor it would be three.

286
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 2: It's even Billy Slater for Queensland. If you're Melbourni and

287
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 2: you don't have a choice, getting your moron on.

288
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:20,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, you got it, you got it, you got it

289
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 1: three stress. So my prediction is three straight series for

290
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:24,080
Speaker 1: the Queensland Morons.

291
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:28,079
Speaker 2: Speaking of rugby, rugby of the union variety, it is

292
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:31,199
Speaker 2: a watch on what happens with the Wallabies and we

293
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 2: just need to see how this all plays out. To

294
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:33,839
Speaker 2: be honest, you.

295
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 1: Know how I've been making some wild predictions. Just strap

296
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 1: yourself in because tell me and dear listener, my probably

297
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:46,080
Speaker 1: biggest sash slash craziest prediction of twenty twenty four is

298
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 1: that the Wallabies will win the Bledterslow. Yeah, because they

299
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 1: are on fire. They are on as in not in

300
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:56,719
Speaker 1: a good way. The house is on fire, the car

301
00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:57,960
Speaker 1: is on fire, the plan.

302
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,960
Speaker 2: Scrambling for family photos. I can't get they can't get out.

303
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 1: We have talked at length about how much in disarray

304
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 1: this team is. I think somehow and maybe even just

305
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:11,520
Speaker 1: pure fluke, they have not won the blood is Low

306
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:13,200
Speaker 1: in over twenty years.

307
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:15,560
Speaker 2: What I think it's now? Are you being outlandish for

308
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 2: atlandish sake? No? Me, never, how do you? No? I

309
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 2: have a feeling.

310
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 1: I have a vibe and sometimes I think I'm psychic,

311
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 1: and my vibe is that the Wallabies they may win nothing,

312
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 1: they may win nothing else, but they're going to win

313
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 1: the Blederslow this year because also New Zealand All Blacks,

314
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 1: they haven't been as dominant as they usually know.

315
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 2: No, it's true, and I think that I have asserted

316
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 2: themselves as the powerhouse.

317
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, even Ireland, like you know, the tiniest chink in

318
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 1: the All Blacks armor.

319
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 2: I think that. Yeah.

320
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 1: I mean they may implode themselves, they will lose it,

321
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 1: but by default that means that the Wallabies will win it.

322
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 2: I love the idea of what you're bringing to the table. Yeah,

323
00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:59,119
Speaker 2: I love the idea of a win for the Wallabies.

324
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 2: I think we need it. I think we need the

325
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 2: moral victory at this point, given the absolute disarray at

326
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 2: all levels that we've seen. Yes, imagine if they could,

327
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 2: i know, solidify as a group, come together and say,

328
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 2: you know what, we're going to have to do this ourselves.

329
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I do think that sport gives those opportunities. Yes, right,

330
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 1: I think that that is going to be the storyline

331
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 1: because despite me predicting that is going to win the

332
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 1: letters loow, I do think that this is going to

333
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 1: be the toughest you for Super rugby that we have seen.

334
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 2: Also, watch on how Eddie Jones goes. Oh yeah Japan,

335
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 2: Yeah that's true. Yeah, I still love him. I still

336
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 2: think he is one of the better operators. Yeah, okay,

337
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 2: So twenty twenty four events to look forward to, thinking

338
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 2: thinking thinking this is the um may we ahah the

339
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 2: Paris Olympic Games July twenty sixty, the eleventh of August.

340
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 2: It is coming for us and I actually, I know

341
00:15:57,600 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 2: I say this about every Olympics. I'm so looking forward

342
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 2: to this one. I just think it is in the

343
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 2: city of Love. They're making it in Eco games, so

344
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 2: there's so many different things about it that I think

345
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 2: will genuinely be spectacular. But it's a watch. It's a

346
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 2: watch for the dolphins and how they're going to go.

347
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 2: Given that we had a World Championships in an Olympic

348
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 2: year is an anomaly because they were trying to make

349
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 2: up for time during COVID, so it's very rare. So essentially,

350
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 2: if you are a longer distance swimmer, you're like, nah,

351
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 2: not for me. But if you're a sprinter can mack boy,

352
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 2: Yeah he went. So there were some names that we know,

353
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 2: but for a large part it was a very b

354
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 2: Australia team. And the reason why it was a be

355
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 2: Australia team is because in the previous World Champs we'd

356
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 2: already qualified all of our relay teams. Because if you

357
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:42,720
Speaker 2: finished in the top three, which all of our relay

358
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 2: teams did, you just solidified your Olympic qualification. So we

359
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:47,280
Speaker 2: go around to this year and it's like, ah, do

360
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 2: you want to go? And all m mckn's like nah nah.

361
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 2: So there is a query on how they're all going.

362
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 1: What events are you most looking forward for parents dying,

363
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 1: dying to see Peter Bowl.

364
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 2: I was going to say, is it the eight the

365
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 2: eight hundred meters? I am ready, I'm ready, Jess Box.

366
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 2: The thing is we still have so many qualifications still

367
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 2: to go. I mean, we know the Matilda's qualified recently

368
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 2: by absolutely demoralizing with Pekistan. They are out ten zero,

369
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 2: but to see how they go given they got so

370
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:22,920
Speaker 2: close to the podium in Tokyo. How are going to

371
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:23,199
Speaker 2: see that?

372
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 1: I think that they will make it to the podium.

373
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:26,919
Speaker 1: I think I don't know if they win gold, but

374
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 1: I think they will get on the podium. We will

375
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 1: take rose gold, We'll take we'll take anything.

376
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 2: We will take the rose gold, which is of course

377
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:36,680
Speaker 2: what the Boomers called Frons, will take the medal.

378
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 1: You said to me what I'm looking forward to seeing,

379
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:41,919
Speaker 1: which is obviously the pool because we all know I'm

380
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 1: obsessed with the dolphins.

381
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:45,120
Speaker 2: But I'm excited to see the volleyball.

382
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 1: Did you say that the beach volleyball is going to

383
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 1: be played out the front of the Eiffel Tower. Yes?

384
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 2: What that? So essentially they've tried to make it the

385
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:55,160
Speaker 2: Eco Games, and they're very French to be like, we're

386
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 2: not going to waste anything, and oh my god, this

387
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:00,840
Speaker 2: leads into my fun factor, which can eat out the story.

388
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 2: And I don't know if we're meant to have a

389
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 2: fun fat because this is meant to be shorter. Sorry

390
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:07,160
Speaker 2: producer James, but yes, so a lot of like things

391
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:09,119
Speaker 2: like the volleyball are going to be happening at the

392
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:12,440
Speaker 2: foot of the Eiffel Tower, which fun fact. Fun fact,

393
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 2: there is a tiny piece of the Eiffel Tower in

394
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:20,400
Speaker 2: the Olympic medals. No, what do you mean? So when

395
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 2: they were refurbishing a part of the Eiffel Tower, they

396
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:27,960
Speaker 2: had such foresight to put away pieces of the Eiffel Tower.

397
00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:32,359
Speaker 2: So eighteen grams of the iconic statue will be in

398
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:35,920
Speaker 2: the medals that you win at the Paris game. Shut up,

399
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:42,560
Speaker 2: no way, way, we unbelievable. But because of course they

400
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:45,239
Speaker 2: have to do services and maintenance on it and so

401
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 2: much that they're like, we are going to reunit this

402
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 2: is rustic, get rid of even the torch relay. Pieces

403
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 2: of the torch will be part of the Eiffel Tower

404
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 2: that they had to refurbish. So clever.

405
00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 1: Oh my god, nothing wasted now, isn't that?

406
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 2: I mean, I know that we love stick Oh.

407
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:05,920
Speaker 1: Paris, this is the games for us, Like I mean,

408
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:09,120
Speaker 1: we love we love France, we far out.

409
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:09,879
Speaker 2: I love pastries.

410
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:12,160
Speaker 1: It's all oh, I mean, it's all there, it's all there.

411
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:15,119
Speaker 1: So obviously that is I'm going to say, that's our

412
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 1: number one event that we're looking forward to in twenty

413
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 1: twenty four.

414
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 2: And the Paralympics. We love the Paralympics. Yeah, we love

415
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 2: It's SRD to see gooble. It's my favorite event. Really.

416
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 2: I love golbal. I love it.

417
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:31,399
Speaker 1: It's just to see what those athletes do. I just

418
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 1: can't do it. And having recently done a story on

419
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:37,640
Speaker 1: blind tennis and working with blind tennis players and then

420
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:43,640
Speaker 1: actually wearing like glasses that affected my own vision, it's

421
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 1: unbelievable what they can do. Yes, it is humble, It's

422
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 1: truly unbelievable, and that's how I feel with golble. I

423
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:51,480
Speaker 1: was like, I would be the most useless, useless participant

424
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 1: in that sport, and those athletes are incredible, So I

425
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:54,439

00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:59,239
