But do you ever think guys can be the most
organ I can't believe it.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
You're easily the most organized, the most reliable.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
This is like one of those photo phone on telecommts
w they try and show our color. It is an
easy to link up with the one around the world
to record an album.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
At the same time and sort of shit.

And now for the thousands in attendance and the millions

Let's get ready for sports carver.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Right, Welcome to the TB Sports Capeish. I am joined
by Mark Alice who's in London, Leehart who's in Spain,
and Lana who won't tell me where she is surprised
to see Becklana, thank you.
Speaker 8 (01:58):
Oh that's thanks, thanks for having again and finding me.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
But just have a look.
Speaker 5 (02:06):
It's been such yeah, such warm, warm, glowing reviews of
you coming back, LaMDA, that hard to stay away with
the outpouring of love for you has been quite extraordinary
from you.
Speaker 6 (02:19):
Yeah, well justified.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Well, just don't check for any air tags and your
and your and your luggage or anything. Okay, that's what
it is.
Speaker 9 (02:27):
Something slipped into my.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Of course, not so. The Olympics have been amazing.
Speaker 6 (02:33):
Like the coffee capsules.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
We're into the Olympics. What's the for me. One of
the highlights of the Olympics has been the pole vault,
the planter a.
Speaker 8 (02:46):
Note becoming eachy kind of pole volting that we're going down.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Look, why like I'm saying genuinely that I enjoyed the
men's pole volt I thought it was amazing you know
the planters who broke.
Speaker 6 (02:57):
From the men's pro volt.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
Now, what's wrong with the men's pole vault?
Speaker 6 (03:00):
Well, I mean I don't know, I just reckon.
Speaker 5 (03:02):
You're saying that to try and put us off, throw
us off, but I mean you've been a bit creepersh
throughout the Olympic.
Speaker 6 (03:09):
Games and then you're saying, I like the men's pole vault.
What's going on? Mate?
Speaker 10 (03:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (03:16):
I enjoyed it. And the French guy that knocked the
bar off with his peace.
Speaker 6 (03:24):
See what why do you have to.
Speaker 5 (03:27):
Why do you have to sexualize every Olympic sport? Did
you know that it's now you're creeping on guys as
well as women.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Did you not think that was funny?
Speaker 4 (03:40):
It's not funny when it happens to you. A case
in the hurdles and clock one of my testicles every.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
Time went over the hurdle.
Speaker 4 (03:47):
Once you do that on seven rang shop.
Speaker 6 (03:58):
Use you the left. You've got to get the gaff
for tape, tape and tap it up in your stomach.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Right. Yeah, so that's the poor bolt well covered, but.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
It's just grazing it.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
Just crazy enough to give it that year more low bruising,
not enough to.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Make it.
Speaker 6 (04:15):
Comp complana.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
What have you enjoyed.
Speaker 6 (04:19):
Anything you use on your talking.
Speaker 8 (04:22):
I'm just a little bit stunned for the So highlight
for me would have to be the rhyin like talk
about the night of action. Just one you know, a
to make all the A finals, like you know those
athletes have so many athletes in A finals last week
and and when you're sort of watching sport. Had watched
(04:42):
the Olympics as a patriot. That's really nice to watch,
you know in New Zealand doing so well, but knowing
some people in the sports personally was just it was
a night of action for me. So I know Matt
McDonald who was in the men's four and they you know,
obviously put the silver out and you know, it's it
was just one of being after the other. I don't know,
it's just maybe it was probably the highlight of the elements.
(05:05):
I watched quite a lot of the sports. But and
I'm looking forward again tonight. I can't wait to watch
the canoeing and kayaking and stuff. It's just you know, cyclist, yeah,
just you know, I just I can't get enough of it.
Speaker 9 (05:15):
It's been really great.
Speaker 6 (05:16):
I can't remember the.
Speaker 8 (05:17):
Last time I watched so much and enjoyed so much sport,
you know, and from the Olympics this yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Oh, also you also sent me a lot of images
of the uh Turkish shooter, which.
Speaker 8 (05:30):
You all right, man, that was just so funny because
just like social media, just you know, he just sort
of he he won silver as well, but everyone else
had so much equipment like ninja, like you know, lenses
and patches and all this sort of stuff and all
the gear, and basically everyone thought he was like a
Turkish or Sapan or whatever, and they've just fell downe
(05:51):
this rabbit hole. And he came out with a couple
of brilliant quotes about you know, having a bad divorce
and wanting to kill his wife or something.
Speaker 9 (05:57):
Was it was quite funny.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
He had a prolific sense of hum about.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
If I can bring it back to the pole vault
the pole vaulter that won the gold did the shooting,
put his hand in his pocket and did the shooting,
sort of tribute to your shooter. So Pop Volter is
really the center of all the Olympics.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
Hey, what I enjoyed an event I enjoyed, And you know, gender.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Keeps coming up into these Olympics. I'm not going to
go there. But when they did the four by four
hundred with.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
Mixed you know, men and woman, yep, I thought that
was quite a cool initiative and made me wonder.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
I think they have done it once before.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
Why they've never really done more events like that, you know,
especially relays.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Obviously they're doing a swimming relay which is mixed as well.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
Perfect.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
I mean, what better way to showcase both amazing sets
of athletes from country?
Speaker 1 (06:46):
This is a mixed show.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
I'm here, I'm here on the token female for now.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
I think Maca's phones run out of the battery and
he's at the coffee shop so he can't plug it in.
Why don't I just throw to you know, obviously, Lee,
you're you're an expert on the Olympics because you've covered
a number of them.
Speaker 4 (07:01):
Well, look, look, I'm an experience. I've done more than most.
I'll give you that, and probably more experience the most more.
You know, you know, the biggest expert in the world.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
I'm up there.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Well, you've covered I think at least three Olympics, of
which one of them you actually went to, and I
have fond memories of you in Beijing, covering it from
Los Angeles, rich the coverage.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
Of the Beijing Olympics.
Speaker 11 (07:23):
Last thing you want to do is get too close
to the action in Beijing, get caught up in the politics,
the hype. From here, we can get some perspective, some
distance on the games and give some unbiased opinion on
what's going on down now in the ground. So join
me now as they take you on Olympic journey.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
On an Olympic show.
Speaker 11 (07:39):
Based at the Crown Plaza Hotel. Here, we have a
number of facilities that's going to help us. We have
a telephone. We also have a mini bar downstairs, a
business center. We can log online and check what's happening
in Beijing. Back in New Zealand, there's a photocopy machine.
Don't think we'll need it, a fax machine. We can
go back and forth and send faxes to and fro
Willing Lilly Jewe east about sixty k that direction.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
We've got the Disneyland Hotel.
Speaker 11 (08:04):
That's our second media center, our media hub if you like,
we'll be be firing information back and forth between the
Disneyland Hotel and this hotel. Here we can link into Tomorrowland,
Frontierland fantasy Land Tontown. We'll be using these two dual
facilities along with our man on the ground in Venice Beach,
Brad Waters. The beauty of doing it over in LA
with the time zones, we're about four hours ahead of Beijing,
(08:26):
so we'll be finding out what's happening in Beijing about
four hours before they even know it's happening by joining
us at Venice Beach at the moment. Is our correspondent there,
Brad Waters?
Speaker 1 (08:34):
Come in?
Speaker 6 (08:35):
Brad, I can't he come again? I can't quite hear you. Yeah,
so breaking up pretty bad?
Speaker 3 (08:43):
Yeah, just just moved to your left. But a couple
of steps will do.
Speaker 11 (08:46):
It all right, Brad Waters of course down at Venice
and we'll be catching up more with him than later
on in the show.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
Yeah, take him back.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
You remember who Brad Borders was?
Speaker 3 (09:01):
No idea.
Speaker 4 (09:02):
I think I just met him on the beach and
said you get to become a journalist. But I look
at that now, I realize how it's hard to take
someone serious when they're wearing Mickey Mouse.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
He isn't it? You know?
Speaker 4 (09:12):
I regret that now, you know, looking back on that,
I don't think i'd be taking myself very seriously.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
But if I if I know, and then.
Speaker 9 (09:20):
For everything place for everything, that's right, that's right.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
You evolved.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
So a very special welcome to sports Capash podcast TB
Sports Cafeesh is a gold medallist Micalli blythe so welcome
welcome home.
Speaker 5 (09:34):
First of all, Yeah, yeah, that's amazing.
Speaker 6 (09:41):
Oh here here is it?
Speaker 9 (09:43):
Well before I go, when I arrived home with mum
and dad, we had a block, a full block of
butter in one hand and this and the other and
this is definitely heavier. So I think it's like roughly
nine hundred grams. I'm going to guess amazing.
Speaker 4 (09:59):
Wow.
Speaker 8 (10:00):
Each Olympics, is there a different gold medal? Do they
look different every time? They're not the same at every
set of Olympics?
Speaker 9 (10:06):
Yeah, definitely. This one's very unique. This one's got a
piece of the Eiffel Tower. This part's kind of is
the same. I don't know what you call that. I'm
gonna call this person Olympus maybe I'm not entirely sure.
Then there's always like an engraved piece on the edge
as well, So there is some sort of like difference
(10:28):
to each one. But I would say like the general
weight of it is quite the.
Speaker 8 (10:32):
Same if you thought about where it goes long term,
like do you is it something that you put on
the wall or is it, you know, just sit on
the bedside table.
Speaker 9 (10:39):
Yeah, so my Tokyo one sits in its little box
and it's actually just in my wardrobe. This one will
hang about for a little bit until people stop asking
to see it, and then it will go in its
box that we get given that's by a luft one
and so that will probably go into the wardrobe as
well with its mate.
Speaker 6 (10:58):
So it's kind of is it actually gold?
Speaker 9 (11:01):
I mean we're going to say that it is, I
mean smells like it.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
So tell me about the celebrations afterwards. How are they
to be honest?
Speaker 9 (11:13):
For me personally, it was rather boring because I went
from winning a gold medal to being drug tested. So
I spent two hours at the stadium, hungry and getting
tired while I was missing out on like the early
cacoons of our celebration.
Speaker 5 (11:32):
So that's a shamble, I know. I'll tell you what
you can do, is you can you can actually get
on the celebration. And if you get on the celebration
and maybe go through the best part of ten beers. Yeah,
when you give your sample, it's the first bit that
you get out.
Speaker 6 (11:47):
If you can sort of get.
Speaker 5 (11:48):
Rid of that without it going in the cup miss
the cap type thing, that's where all the danger is.
And you've got the same specific gravity as water after
ten beers, and so can.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
We can we change the subject? Please leave? Have you
got have you got something that can just get us
away from the subject the drug testing?
Speaker 3 (12:05):
And I was going to add to that, but okay,
if you want.
Speaker 6 (12:10):
You straight after the straight after the after the gold.
Speaker 9 (12:13):
Medal, they sent us stadium and then straight to the
location where our families were. By the time I got there,
everyone was on a really good buzz, but I was.
I ignored my fiance. I went straight to food. I was
that hungry. I hadn't eaten for about seven hours by
this point, so food was far more important. And then
(12:35):
we got to about one thirty and then I pretty
much just went back to my partner's apartment and fell asleep.
So but the rest of the girls party for about
three days straight. So they're young, that hurt, they've got
the energy. I can do a day and then I
need like a week to recover. So unfortunately, I've lost
(12:55):
my touch.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
What about you must have been disappointed with Shelley and
praise the price not making the the semifinals.
Speaker 9 (13:04):
Yeah, no, very disappointed in my Olympic bestI more so
disappointed with the reason of it. You know, fair enough
if she had a niggle or anything, but the fact
that there was a real change of where buses could go,
just simply because she wasn't staying in the village, Like
I think that's bullshit. To be honest, She's an absolute superstar,
(13:27):
so she shouldn't be needing to go on a team
bus to go to the location anyway. She should be
escorted by private vehicle. So it is unfortunate for you,
But you know, she's she's now my Olympic bestie. So
whether she went or not, she or superstar of my
eyes and plenty.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
She seemed to be a really good sort. She seemed
that all the stuff around the social media she seemed
to really embrace.
Speaker 9 (13:50):
And you know, yeah, no, she's super kind, super caring,
and the fact that she made an effort to come
to the stadium and watch us play when she had
no idea who we were was just really special. So
we'll definitely hold on to those memories for as long
as I can.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
But yeah, I.
Speaker 9 (14:09):
Missage here every now and then. He hasn't seen my
messages yet, but when that day comes, love and hope.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (14:15):
One thing I've noticed in watching the Olympics. I've been late,
late to the game, but I watched it the other
night is and this is not a gender based comment,
It's just an observation that I've made, But I've noticed
that there's lots.
Speaker 6 (14:27):
Of women with no necks.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
How can.
Speaker 10 (14:34):
Them?
Speaker 6 (14:34):
What were you watching exactly?
Speaker 3 (14:37):
Are you sure it was the Olympics?
Speaker 5 (14:42):
It was track and field, but but but I you know,
my theory is thats something to do with phone usage
and concrete neck syndrome or something along those lines. But
there were I mean, it's a bit of a defeatus
defeatist attitude, really picking somebody with no neck because really
hang them out.
Speaker 9 (15:00):
Well, yeah, I can tell you now that our team
have next because we've all got neck rashes from our
heavy gold medal, So that's the main thing. But I
get from you know that perspective. We've obviously got really
strong shoulders that take a hurt a lot tougher than the.
Speaker 5 (15:16):
Men, So no doubt about that it's actually a thing
like if you if you watch that, maybe it's the
traps just going up to the neck, or maybe it's
some sort of.
Speaker 6 (15:27):
Advancement like the.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
Can you stop talking because you're digging yourself cheaper into
a hole?
Speaker 8 (15:34):
The percification is really important if we all have the
same how also.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
Mark, how can you say it's not a not a
gender based question and then you say, I've noticed a
lot of women with no necks, that is one hundred percent.
Speaker 6 (15:49):
Who have over developed yes areas? What? What? What I
was meaning to say? Records.
Speaker 5 (15:55):
I only watched the small amount of the Olympics, and
the thing that struck me was that there were a
lot of and I was watching any of the females.
Speaker 6 (16:02):
It just was when I was on watching, it was just.
Speaker 5 (16:05):
The girls in the track, in the field, and a
lot of them have done.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
Seventh.
Speaker 4 (16:14):
The seventh was pretty much the first event I managed
to capture. I'm in your epant moment as well in Spain,
and it really brought me into the games actually, because
I was surfing around at a sinth time zone caught
that and it really keicked it off emotionally. Everything I
suddenly got ship, you know, because that was our first medal, right,
(16:36):
it was our first first gold. That must be special,
you know, kicking it off must be feeling quite good,
you know, setting the challenge to everyone else in the team.
Speaker 9 (16:44):
Absolutely, and the fact that I guess we could claim
that we started the momentum that our New Zealand team
are on now, you know, probably since we've one hour gold,
we've another eight, seven, eight nine medals and still more
to come with obviously the kayakers and the cyclists yet
(17:07):
to finish off as well. So yeah, to get the
first one for the team and it been gold, yeah,
felt fitting. But at the other side of it, it
was really gutting for our boys. They obviously were in
such a good place, but you know that sevens you
get one percent off and you lose, and so unfortunately
for them it just didn't go their way at the
(17:27):
end of the day.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
Playing against the clock so much in Simmons, an't you
as well, like you can get it wrong slightly. You
know you're a better team that you get it slightly wrong.
The clock's sticky down and you're just running out of
time to fix it.
Speaker 9 (17:37):
You know, Yeah, for sure, And I guess actually Mike
Cooper who didn't make the team for Australia, but you know,
a couple of the girls got a cool friendship with them.
He said. The comparison that he found from fifteen's to
sevens was that you've got to be pretty much perfect
in sevens and fifteen you can kind of get away
(17:59):
with some things when especially when it comes to the
breakdown or with catch and pass, but with any sort
of mistake in sevens, it's pounced upon and then it
turns into points pretty much instantly. And so that's the
pressure that we have in our game as well. Is
not only that we've only got fourteen minutes to win,
but we've got to get every single aspect of the
game right to hold onto the control and momentum, and
(18:22):
I think we did that really well this time in Paris.
In comparison to Tokyo Mark.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
You actually played for New Zealand sevens at the World Cup,
didn't you.
Speaker 6 (18:30):
Yes, it's a long time, Goreck.
Speaker 5 (18:33):
Who's the one person you don't want to have a
one on one with, like one person in the world
that you've got like because there were a lot of
players in sevens who were pretty bloody amazing on their
feet who who who was? Imagine the sprinter. Imagine if
you had one on one with her, if you could
catch a ball, you'd be every pretty Friday.
Speaker 9 (18:51):
If it involved contact, the person that I wanted wouldn't
want to do one on one with would be poun
But if it involved just running, Eddie Levi is unbelievably quick.
She gets a lot of credit for her speed and
what she does for her Australian companions, but take her
out of the game and they're a completely different team.
(19:12):
So she has got a lot of speech. She's by
far the fastest one on the circuit and she's only
twenty one or twenty two, so that's scary to think
that she not only could last her but far better
in her rugby game as well. But yeah, definitely her.
But yeah, if it involves contact, you don't want to
run into Porsche, Like, don't even bother run just avoid
(19:36):
her completely.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
Well, the good thing is I'm not planning to.
Speaker 6 (19:39):
She's been amazing for so long.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
Well, probably one of the greatest rugby players of all time,
full stop, one hundred percent.
Speaker 9 (19:45):
What she's done for the game and the statistics that
she has beside it will probably never be matched. So
she's a legend in her own right and that will
continue for a long time.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
And your a legend too, Mikayla. Thank you so much
for everything you've done for us, for those of us
watching the Olympics, you know the buzz that you gave us,
and also thank you for starting up late down there
in tara Anaki doing this. I really appreciate it. I
know you've just got home, you want to get some rest,
so we'll let you go and enjoy just you know,
(20:18):
just that gold medal, but also just what you've done
for New Zealand. Thank you.
Speaker 9 (20:23):
No, I appreciate that this is actually a good as
if I didn't, that's probably fallen on asleep half an
hour ago, so you.
Speaker 6 (20:35):
Break.
Speaker 5 (20:36):
Look, Breck, there was a relatively serious observation around the
next you know, I've been quite shocked.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
I know I have. And that's and we also saw
an opportunity to rip you apart, so we took that
as well.
Speaker 5 (20:47):
No, No, but but the actual it's something to do
with phone usage or gaming. I think that's my theory.
Can you work with me on this concrete neck?
Speaker 9 (21:01):
Guys, it's really lovely to see you.
Speaker 6 (21:03):
I'm going to love you and leave you. I've got
to move on.
Speaker 9 (21:06):
There's just struggling down.
Speaker 8 (21:08):
Here with the lights and the power and all that
sort of stuff.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
So power cut random, right, So joining us now on
the TV sports cap is do we call it Tim
Naki or Tim tim Myers? What do you call it?
Speaker 3 (21:29):
Tim?
Speaker 9 (21:29):
Oh?
Speaker 12 (21:30):
Whatever?
Speaker 3 (21:30):
Suits?
Speaker 13 (21:30):
Yeah, Tim Myles is me me legal dame, I suppose,
but Nacki's what have been going by for a little
while now.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
So for those of you that need some explanation, So
Tim is betting per follower on Instagram on blackjack. Now
give us, give us a breakdown, and we're at at
the moment, h so.
Speaker 13 (21:49):
We're kind of we're not kind of a fight up
series two now because the bits are getting a little
bit out of hand. Got up to one point three
three million fives, so I mean naturally, being one hundred
and three thirty three thousand dollars every day was not attainable,
So put a pen in there, and I've since started again.
Now I've been in Kinsinsbury follower above a million, so
(22:13):
thirty three thousand dollars a day, which is still fucking ridiculous,
but yeah, that's that's kind of what we've got to
now so, but on a bit of a bit of
a tear, an absolute heater of a run. Sorry, if
I'd indistructed. I've got some the ladies beach volleyball up here.
Love the prowess, the physical capabilities of these ladies.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
Nothing do with UNIFU.
Speaker 6 (22:32):
Yeah, so he's sending a little bit like rack.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
He was.
Speaker 5 (22:34):
He was last week talking about Mardia commed each and
how he had a bit.
Speaker 6 (22:38):
Of a pinchan for her when he was a young man.
Speaker 5 (22:40):
And now he's tried to write the equation by talking
about the guy took the pole volt off with his penis.
Speaker 13 (22:45):
Oh yeah, an issue that I'd sad be never faced
in my lifetime.
Speaker 6 (22:48):
But he was talking about waking the hurls with a knacker, just.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
The testicle, their clothing tying around the knee cats.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
Yeah nice you.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
Especially when it's actually knocking, knocking the hurdle. Yeah, it's
just one.
Speaker 12 (23:08):
Hundred and ten meters sprint for you, league.
Speaker 6 (23:11):
There's always one that's just a little bit a little
bit head and the other it sounds.
Speaker 12 (23:17):
Like he's playing the drums every time.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
Yeah, this clar.
Speaker 5 (23:23):
I'm the weird guy basically got a skin on it
that you could pull over a jug and play like
a drum.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
And so just to clarify, I'm the weird guy because
I enjoy watching gymnastics.
Speaker 5 (23:35):
No, you're just a weird guy, mate, full stop, you know.
And we just didn't want to let that go without
making mention of it. Now you've tried to write the
equation by saying, yeah, what about I'll tell you what though,
he would absolutely happily forgive or for go who's got
middle for the adulation and for the commercial success that
(23:56):
will become him as a net resultant kissing the who's
going to have.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
Who's going to have more people hanging around him and
later on him?
Speaker 6 (24:04):
For sure? Yeah, yeah, no doubt about it.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
Just just to clarify, Just to clarify, we're.
Speaker 6 (24:11):
Talking Calvin Klein about the guy get sponsors.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
We're talking about the guy that knocked the bar down
with his piece. That's the guy we're talking about. Just
to clarify because some people might.
Speaker 12 (24:21):
He's going he's got a trojan deal for now for sure?
By now you would hud.
Speaker 6 (24:25):
Yeah, he sort of smuged it off, didn't He smudged
it off? It really wasn't like.
Speaker 5 (24:30):
Ok it wasn't quite like you Lee with the you know,
the hard impact, the callous nut, so to speak. It
was more of a cajoling or a nudging.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
The gentle nudging, grazing.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (24:42):
One could almost say that he did it and he
didn't intentionally know him the storm and the teacup.
Speaker 6 (24:48):
That may yeah, very very clever.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
So Mark stopped. Now when you when you did series
one with with these bits with give it up to
how much did you win?
Speaker 12 (25:03):
It got us high? It really beats me up to say.
Speaker 13 (25:06):
It got as high as one million, sixty thousand and one. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
So I've a couple of terms of this emotionally now,
I at that point, any smart man would have put
a pen in it.
Speaker 12 (25:22):
I was a day eighty something in it about the
poll holder.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
Go again, just can we get back to the question,
which is europe a million dollars up? And where did
you end up?
Speaker 12 (25:36):
I took half a million at the end of it,
so it was still a really good result. You can
look at it two ways.
Speaker 13 (25:41):
I lost five hundred the last week, or I finished
the whole thing winning five hundred, a fantastic result.
Speaker 12 (25:49):
But she's the last. The last week of it was
a real fucking stark reminder of what happens if you
if you play long enough, the house always comes from
in the end. So it was a.
Speaker 13 (25:58):
You're not losing, was you know? I was fully at
terms with the fact that I could lose. The way
I lost was horrendous. It was just something that I
should have you win those the ones that I lost
ninety five percent of the time.
Speaker 3 (26:09):
But I didn't.
Speaker 5 (26:10):
So how do you stop? How do you stop when
the blood rushes to the head? I mean, what's what's
what's your eleven o'clock tender role for gambling? I mean,
you know eleven o'clock the standard drops because you know,
the desperation rises. So there's that that that bell curve.
When you're beating and you feel that the eleven o'clock
tender rule is being breached, you know, what do you
(26:31):
do to put yourself back into line?
Speaker 13 (26:33):
You definitely don't want to be taking the last girl
home at the bar, that's for certain. So it's a
it's a real whip flannel over the head and give
it a reassistment going.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
So just a load of a load of metaphors.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
I don't understand any of them. So we were you
now you.
Speaker 12 (26:49):
Just started it with the talk of the really did
I was.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
Doing the Olympics?
Speaker 12 (26:55):
Oh oh shit, Yeah, so I was still on apologies?
Did you want to revisit that?
Speaker 1 (27:01):
Sorry?
Speaker 5 (27:03):
So it's only only only twenty one that you play.
It's only black jack swinging One's.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
Just black jack.
Speaker 13 (27:08):
I'm just an xterary farmer who loves a bit of
a pants black jack seemed easy, short, sharp, You know
you can do a very quick little commentary, a little
soft insult of the dealer, and be on your way
very quickly.
Speaker 12 (27:18):
I don't need it.
Speaker 13 (27:18):
Then, I've got a friend back in end Z who
a good buddy of mine, Robbo, who edits it.
Speaker 12 (27:23):
Into like a sixty second clip because the footage is
normally a little bit longer. But yeah, I mean I've
got the easy part.
Speaker 13 (27:27):
I just turned the camera on and record myself having
a punt.
Speaker 6 (27:31):
But how do you how do you win?
Speaker 5 (27:32):
Because it's whenever you go to the bloody casino and
you give it a nudge, it's there's no way in
God's green Earth you're coming out with anyway.
Speaker 13 (27:40):
And I like, I don't think i've ever left sky City.
Back when I was living in New Zealand with fucking
cash and pocket. I reckon, I've just found the perfect little,
just little honeymoon spot. There we're doing one and done
a day because I have been real diligent on playing
one a day and done no more, no less when loss.
Speaker 12 (27:58):
Yeah, it seems to have worked. I don't know why.
Speaker 13 (28:01):
I certainly do realize that the longer you played, the
more likely you are to lose. But just not playing
hand after hand each day, I don't know, she's still
played in to be favored.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
Is it far to say that turn one of your
sporting heroes was the human cannibal.
Speaker 12 (28:14):
I don't even know who the human cannonball is.
Speaker 5 (28:16):
You don't know, well, well.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
Here's here's here's a brief introduction to exactly who the
human cannonball is.
Speaker 10 (28:24):
Well, last week, I reck we were fortunate enough to
receive effects from a couple of gents who make that
sport look fairly passive. They're into extreme sports pursuits and
in fact, human project tiling we have with us Ben
and his manager Scott, thanks very much for joining us. Now, firstly, Ben,
to you, how in fact did you get involved in?
Speaker 6 (28:47):
Can I just ask what to project?
Speaker 3 (28:49):
Is it like?
Speaker 8 (28:49):
Shooting yourself out of a cannon.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
That's right, that's right.
Speaker 14 (28:55):
It's weird who projected out of the cannon and trying
to do a certain amount of feats during that period
of time in the year.
Speaker 8 (29:03):
What's at a distance can you get?
Speaker 14 (29:06):
Well, my record is sixty eight buses face to face,
so around.
Speaker 6 (29:13):
Two hundred and sixty meters.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
Have you suffered any injuries?
Speaker 6 (29:23):
It's just mark this man.
Speaker 14 (29:26):
Once the cannon is about to be fired, I get
a ten second warning, which is when the worker is lit.
Speaker 6 (29:33):
And at that stage I just.
Speaker 14 (29:36):
Blank blank my mind and make sure that I'm ready
for projectile. When I get the three second call, I
just my mind closes, I close my eyes and just
think hard and erect, hard and erect, and then.
Speaker 3 (29:55):
And then you're just in the air and it's light time.
Speaker 6 (29:58):
That's what really makes it.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
It certainly is a privilege to have you on the show.
Speaker 14 (30:05):
I'd like to date this opportunity to thank you with
our quest.
Speaker 15 (30:10):
So that's unbelieve it's Cannibal.
Speaker 5 (30:16):
Yeah, he wanted His goal was to get fired over there.
This is a long time ago. Fired out of the
Sydney Harvard Bridge over the Olympics funnily enough in two thousand.
Speaker 13 (30:25):
I can't believe that exists. I've watched a lot of
old Sports Cafe highlights. It used to be our guilty
pleasure on a on a Sunday bend decision to get
the boys started for the day.
Speaker 12 (30:35):
But I've never seen that clip before.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
That one's that we got that from to Papa. That's
a that's a very important deep in the archives.
Speaker 6 (30:43):
Yeah, he never, he never.
Speaker 5 (30:44):
He never got to go over the Harvard Bridge. He
went in practice in the South Island. They shot him
at the under side of the bridge and that was
pretty much.
Speaker 6 (30:55):
That was. That was career. Yeah, the require bridges shot
shot them straighting the other side of it. They fucked
up the angle.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
Now, Tim, you also you were a farrier, is that right?
Used to make horseshoes.
Speaker 13 (31:10):
Yeah, mate, I was a I was a ferry for
for a good teen years there did it was my
first my first trade out of school to be apprenticeship
in Taranaki there and can run your own business for
five or six years.
Speaker 12 (31:22):
And before I put a pin in it, Yeah, before
I did me back in.
Speaker 13 (31:25):
And yeah, now fell away to tairy farming and now
somehow I'm the global blackjack guy.
Speaker 4 (31:32):
I think we just got to parafery here. A farrier
is someone who makes horseshoes.
Speaker 3 (31:35):
Yeah, yeah, it makes it makes make shoes.
Speaker 12 (31:39):
Put shoes on, put shoes on horses.
Speaker 3 (31:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (31:41):
Bob Fitzimmons, the boxer, he was a blacksmith come farrier
back in the day. Written you notice like New Zealand
boxing champion about nineteen Yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
I covered those those those games. Yep.
Speaker 6 (31:54):
He was renouned for putting a cover of horseshoes and
his gloves.
Speaker 3 (31:57):
Yeah, that's apparently very strong.
Speaker 6 (32:00):
I could almost believe Duran sess the stone.
Speaker 10 (32:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
I have no idea what to say anymore, like you
just doing to my show, Tim, thank you so much
for joining us. I don't know how this has been
for you. It's been unique for me. All the best.
Speaker 5 (32:22):
You've been great mate. Why don't you take rex job?
And then we never had a lot of fun?
Speaker 4 (32:27):
Always a question I'd love to be joking aside, Wreck,
you should take over our bedding element of the show. Reck,
you're not doing too well there, Per's I just give
me the gig?
Speaker 3 (32:40):
No?
Speaker 1 (32:40):
Can I just interrupt you there?
Speaker 16 (32:42):
Lee?
Speaker 1 (32:42):
Because thank you, I put fifty dollars on the nose
for Noah Larles to win the one hundred meters this week,
and he came home and paid in a good amount just.
Speaker 6 (32:54):
Just but just as so it just counts.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
So he paid two dollars fifty so so it's a
successful bit. So I have done well this week. So
you know, applause. Well if you're like, if you don't
want to applaud, that's cool. We can always double in later.
Speaker 12 (33:12):
If you have to ask for it. If you have
to ask for it.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
Thanks thanks to all the best, mate, brilliant. Look, I've
been looking at the original the original sports of the Olympics. Well,
there was a thing called the Pink Pink Ration was
one of the sports, and that was basically boxing and
wrestling combined. And I was wondering, should m m A
(33:37):
or UFC be in the Olympics.
Speaker 4 (33:41):
So yes, from me, Rick, I think so it's as
close to the original format as you're saying. It's pure.
I don't want to get too controversy because every time
to bring another sport and I think something has to go.
There's certain sports I think we discussed it. I don't
think really should be there. I really loved watching the
tennis the other day. But should it be there? But
(34:01):
the other one triple jump? Why not just do long jump?
Why do you have to complicate a long jump with
the triple jump?
Speaker 3 (34:10):
It looks kind of weird.
Speaker 4 (34:14):
It's I'm sure those triple jumpers could become good long jumpers,
you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (34:20):
Yeah, I mean you could have. There'd be an interesting
thought process to how you worked out we should do
a triple jump. I mean, what was behind the thinking
that I've made an event?
Speaker 4 (34:29):
It would be some weird thing in nineteen eleven, some
posh guy at some school would have done.
Speaker 3 (34:34):
You know.
Speaker 4 (34:35):
That's the only reason why it's just in there. Why
do we have wood chopping? I'd rather see the qis
wood chopping Olympics.
Speaker 5 (34:43):
But why don't we have And I reckon this would
be just bloody brilliant. But why wouldn't there be a
bull rush a bull rush medal at the Olympics. I mean,
if everyone had three people, you know, from their country
who represented them in bull rush, you can call them out,
(35:04):
you know. So, I mean it's not necessarily the best
player that wins. I mean you could have the best
defender in there, you know, who managed to tackle the jonah.
Speaker 4 (35:12):
It would be the last have been to the games
where they clear out the stadium, they get rid of
all the crap on the field, and the final event
is international bull.
Speaker 6 (35:21):
Rush or like even like what about slippery pigs?
Speaker 10 (35:25):
Then what.
Speaker 1 (35:28):
You put a slippery glaze and catch it.
Speaker 5 (35:31):
He glaze the pig and the person, Yeah, person catches
the slippery pig.
Speaker 6 (35:35):
Let's maybe that's just.
Speaker 1 (35:37):
Let's that's just that's a tiger thing. Let's just stick
to to doing bull rush.
Speaker 4 (35:41):
So how about the javelin where you have to try
and get the peg with from distance?
Speaker 3 (35:46):
You know, let you.
Speaker 1 (35:47):
Know, it's called hunting.
Speaker 4 (35:51):
Yes, that's I'm sure javelins started as a hunting sport.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
So what what we're saying here is we know the
triple Giant because there's too much rubbers, we should replace
it with possibly m a bull rush, throwing a javelin
at the pig.
Speaker 5 (36:08):
Greasy pig, pig hunting greasy pig, and maybe a barbecue.
Speaker 4 (36:12):
At the end of it, everyone in the village, for
everybody posted the whole.
Speaker 1 (36:18):
Village in the spirit, in the spirit.
Speaker 5 (36:20):
Of those bounty runs around there, in the spirit of
those just so you can get a party asshole, because
every every Olympic village needs a party asshole.
Speaker 1 (36:30):
We've got to show asshole every So the good thing is,
with all these changes in the sport of the Olympics,
we're going.
Speaker 6 (36:41):
To say wicked, nasty things like that.
Speaker 4 (36:45):
How about this, how about each country has the event
it's called party asshole.
Speaker 3 (36:50):
So you've got to nominate. You've got to nominate the
party assole from God and you know you've got to
see and then.
Speaker 5 (37:01):
The most feral, despicable bastard at the party.
Speaker 15 (37:06):
You know, every country nominates a party arseholes. That would
be the most washed events of the Olympics. Get ready
sponsored by Buffy Rum. We've got asshole.
Speaker 4 (37:18):
Someone comes to your house in a few years and
sees a gold metal hanging on your wall.
Speaker 3 (37:25):
What was that for?
Speaker 1 (37:28):
All right?
Speaker 6 (37:28):
Yeah, all right, Barcelona two thousands.
Speaker 1 (37:31):
There's only there's only one way I bring this back,
not hay a bit of a bit of the Olympic. No,
some sanity in the show. Can we just play sa
Peter Snell?
Speaker 10 (37:42):
Please, which of your three three gold medals holds are
the most significance to you? I mean, if you hadn't
done a competit to fifteen hundred that must want something.
Speaker 17 (37:53):
Well, well, the clips you showed here, the first one,
which was so exciting because I going in I didn't
think I was going to be a gold medalist. I
was really trying to make the final realistically, and my
goal sort of changed during the event as it turned out,
(38:14):
and I found myself. By the time I reached the final,
I thought well, I could win this. But then during
the running of the race, I got bucked in and
fell too fast, and I so readjusted again and said, well,
you know, maybe I can get a medal out of this.
But to snatch that victory at the last minute, it
was just so exciting, and I don't think I quite
realized that what I'd done for quite a few days afterwards,
(38:38):
just went around in a dream.
Speaker 1 (38:40):
So there you go.
Speaker 3 (38:41):
Just back to legend.
Speaker 6 (38:42):
Yeah, back to absolute legion. But why didn't you have
some bloody footage of it?
Speaker 1 (38:47):
I can't afford the rights.
Speaker 6 (38:52):
Cock.
Speaker 1 (38:52):
Yeah, so Peter Snell, Sir Peter Snell, three gold medals,
legiond that's what an Olympian looks like to me, you.
Speaker 6 (39:00):
Know, Oh yeah, no doubting that.
Speaker 5 (39:04):
But you know, I mean imagine, you know, if we
did get party oursehole into the Olympics. Imagine what an
Olympian looks like in a decade or so, the whole
whole new category. It makes, it makes it achievable for
the common man. And that's what I love about the Olympics.
You know, it's a bit elitist at the moment, but
you know you wouldn't You wouldn't win party ousehole without
(39:25):
a lot of training either.
Speaker 1 (39:26):
I've asked you, I've asked every week for you guys
to send me something about what's made you feel good
this week? Blee? What's what? Have you come prepared with
something that's made you feel good this week?
Speaker 3 (39:39):
Yeah, I kind of have.
Speaker 4 (39:40):
I think you could probably run with the with the
the sevens that.
Speaker 3 (39:44):
That first called medal.
Speaker 4 (39:45):
As I mentioned early, that kept me off, find something,
go ship, you know, I got, you know, I felt
quite emotional overseas. I found patriotic. I found you know,
you know, give me a taste of Kiwi.
Speaker 3 (39:57):
Kind of thing. You know. So if you could run
that footage again, that would be me.
Speaker 1 (40:01):
I can't afford that for them. I can't afford that footage.
Speaker 5 (40:08):
You know, he can only shave pere of Snell talking
about what he did, but he came in and show
him doing it.
Speaker 1 (40:13):
I'm so glad that you said the sevens because I
thought you might go with a greasy peg or a
party asshole, and I was, you know, thought you go
from those things again, So thank you.
Speaker 3 (40:23):
If yes, I probably would have gone with it.
Speaker 1 (40:25):
Look, I felt the show fell apart when Lanna left,
when she had that power cut that she predicted. And
it's fair to say that I've struggled with both of
you tonight and and I'm hoping that maybe in future
weeks we might be able to bring Eric Rush back
and to give us some some sanity and some well.
This is this is a taste of whe Eric Brush
(40:48):
can bring us.
Speaker 16 (40:49):
My Mike's not it is working. Yeah, yeah, you know
this this little mighty kids eating a whole lot of chocolate.
Speaker 6 (40:55):
This fellow comes up to.
Speaker 16 (40:56):
Me and says, mate, you should should you be eating.
Speaker 1 (40:59):
All those chocolate? The skuy is mean.
Speaker 16 (41:01):
My grandfather lived one hundred and twenty six years old,
the sky system year. But he didn't need six chocolate
bars every day. No he didn't.
Speaker 6 (41:08):
But he minded his own fucking businessman.
Speaker 16 (41:15):
Okay, you've got to be black to tell her. Yeah,
I know it's unfair on you white fellows, but I figure,
I figure you guys had your fund in eighteen forty.
Speaker 6 (41:26):
It's just our turn.
Speaker 18 (41:27):
Very yeah.
Speaker 6 (41:51):
So actually, anyway, beautiful, if anyone's in.
Speaker 1 (41:53):
The supermarket, if you go up north to fund a
make sure you'd ask him to call on can see him?
Speaker 6 (42:01):
Yeah, no, we need for sure.
Speaker 1 (42:04):
Yeah, all right, well beautiful.
Speaker 5 (42:08):
Thank god he didn't drink. Imagine if he drank. You know,
Russian never touched a drop. But by god, if we
could only give him some boundary run, he would, he would,
we'd be our representative for Party Oursehol at the Olympics.
Speaker 1 (42:23):
Well, I think I think I'm pretty confident that we'll
be nominating New Meka and I think that you'll. I
think you'll do bloody well for us and represent New Zealand.
Finally you found your score.
Speaker 6 (42:32):
No no, no, no, keep it seeing me.
Speaker 5 (42:36):
You know, you better to be second at the party,
you know, because nobody remembers who was the second track
at the party.
Speaker 6 (42:42):
It's always the party oursehole.
Speaker 5 (42:45):
So as long as you're a couple behind, you know,
let's say the human cannibal, you're safe.
Speaker 1 (42:50):
Right, You're always top three day.
Speaker 3 (42:53):
We know a few, we know a few people that
could you know.
Speaker 1 (42:57):
Yeah, I'll be honest. I'll be honest.
Speaker 6 (43:00):
After Cold, we can nominate a couple.
Speaker 1 (43:02):
After your descriptions of nominating party arsehole to be at
the Olympics and and Lee's description of knocking over hurdles
with his testicles, I'm going to end the show right now.
Speaker 4 (43:15):
Just the one, Just the one testicle that's clear, not
both of them.
Speaker 6 (43:20):
One is always loved the other, m M
Do you have a big night necker.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Yeah, it was a first night in London, so I'm
just going to find very coffee pods so easy.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
Just show them a couple before you go to bed.

Speaker 4 (00:20):
Yeah, just stea awe stead aweet holding them.
Speaker 5 (00:25):
Yeah, let them, let them, let them bleed all night,
let them bleed, just bleed, bleed.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
Terrible for your sheets. I might go grab a beer
or something.
Speaker 6 (00:38):
Then I might go down and grab a yeah, coffee
from the local shop.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
No, you don't have time to stay still mm hm
oh the keys, what are you doing there?
Speaker 7 (00:53):
I'm just I'm just taking a coffee on this, grab
a coffee ship my bed. She's running out there, fu
charge it all night. But I didn't have it on
I didn't have it on it.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
But do you ever think guys can be the most
organ I can't believe it.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
You're easily the most organized, the most reliable.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
This is like one of those photo phone on telecommts
w they try and show our color. It is an
easy to link up with the one around the world
to record an album.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
At the same time and sort of shit.
Speaker 4 (01:23):
And now for the thousands in attendance and the millions
around the world who wish they could be here, Ladies
and gentlemen.
Speaker 6 (01:31):
Let's get ready for sports carver.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Right, Welcome to the TB Sports Capeish. I am joined
by Mark Alice who's in London, Leehart who's in Spain,
and Lana who won't tell me where she is surprised
to see Becklana, thank you.
Speaker 8 (01:58):
Oh that's thanks, thanks for having again and finding me.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
But just have a look.
Speaker 5 (02:06):
It's been such yeah, such warm, warm, glowing reviews of
you coming back, LaMDA, that hard to stay away with
the outpouring of love for you has been quite extraordinary
from you.
Speaker 6 (02:19):
Yeah, well justified.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Well, just don't check for any air tags and your
and your and your luggage or anything. Okay, that's what
it is.
Speaker 9 (02:27):
Something slipped into my.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Of course, not so. The Olympics have been amazing.
Speaker 6 (02:33):
Like the coffee capsules.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
We're into the Olympics. What's the for me. One of
the highlights of the Olympics has been the pole vault,
the planter a.
Speaker 8 (02:46):
Note becoming eachy kind of pole volting that we're going down.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Look, why like I'm saying genuinely that I enjoyed the
men's pole volt I thought it was amazing you know
the planters who broke.
Speaker 6 (02:57):
From the men's pro volt.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
Now, what's wrong with the men's pole vault?
Speaker 6 (03:00):
Well, I mean I don't know, I just reckon.
Speaker 5 (03:02):
You're saying that to try and put us off, throw
us off, but I mean you've been a bit creepersh
throughout the Olympic.
Speaker 6 (03:09):
Games and then you're saying, I like the men's pole vault.
What's going on? Mate?
Speaker 10 (03:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (03:16):
I enjoyed it. And the French guy that knocked the
bar off with his peace.
Speaker 6 (03:24):
See what why do you have to.
Speaker 5 (03:27):
Why do you have to sexualize every Olympic sport? Did
you know that it's now you're creeping on guys as
well as women.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Did you not think that was funny?
Speaker 4 (03:40):
It's not funny when it happens to you. A case
in the hurdles and clock one of my testicles every.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
Time went over the hurdle.
Speaker 4 (03:47):
Once you do that on seven rang shop.
Speaker 6 (03:58):
Use you the left. You've got to get the gaff
for tape, tape and tap it up in your stomach.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Right. Yeah, so that's the poor bolt well covered, but.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
It's just grazing it.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
Just crazy enough to give it that year more low bruising,
not enough to.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Make it.
Speaker 6 (04:15):
Comp complana.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
What have you enjoyed.
Speaker 6 (04:19):
Anything you use on your talking.
Speaker 8 (04:22):
I'm just a little bit stunned for the So highlight
for me would have to be the rhyin like talk
about the night of action. Just one you know, a
to make all the A finals, like you know those
athletes have so many athletes in A finals last week
and and when you're sort of watching sport. Had watched
(04:42):
the Olympics as a patriot. That's really nice to watch,
you know in New Zealand doing so well, but knowing
some people in the sports personally was just it was
a night of action for me. So I know Matt
McDonald who was in the men's four and they you know,
obviously put the silver out and you know, it's it
was just one of being after the other. I don't know,
it's just maybe it was probably the highlight of the elements.
(05:05):
I watched quite a lot of the sports. But and
I'm looking forward again tonight. I can't wait to watch
the canoeing and kayaking and stuff. It's just you know, cyclist, yeah,
just you know, I just I can't get enough of it.
Speaker 9 (05:15):
It's been really great.
Speaker 6 (05:16):
I can't remember the.
Speaker 8 (05:17):
Last time I watched so much and enjoyed so much sport,
you know, and from the Olympics this yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Oh, also you also sent me a lot of images
of the uh Turkish shooter, which.
Speaker 8 (05:30):
You all right, man, that was just so funny because
just like social media, just you know, he just sort
of he he won silver as well, but everyone else
had so much equipment like ninja, like you know, lenses
and patches and all this sort of stuff and all
the gear, and basically everyone thought he was like a
Turkish or Sapan or whatever, and they've just fell downe
(05:51):
this rabbit hole. And he came out with a couple
of brilliant quotes about you know, having a bad divorce
and wanting to kill his wife or something.
Speaker 9 (05:57):
Was it was quite funny.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
He had a prolific sense of hum about.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
If I can bring it back to the pole vault
the pole vaulter that won the gold did the shooting,
put his hand in his pocket and did the shooting,
sort of tribute to your shooter. So Pop Volter is
really the center of all the Olympics.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
Hey, what I enjoyed an event I enjoyed, And you know, gender.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Keeps coming up into these Olympics. I'm not going to
go there. But when they did the four by four
hundred with.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
Mixed you know, men and woman, yep, I thought that
was quite a cool initiative and made me wonder.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
I think they have done it once before.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
Why they've never really done more events like that, you know,
especially relays.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Obviously they're doing a swimming relay which is mixed as well.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
Perfect.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
I mean, what better way to showcase both amazing sets
of athletes from country?
Speaker 1 (06:46):
This is a mixed show.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
I'm here, I'm here on the token female for now.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
I think Maca's phones run out of the battery and
he's at the coffee shop so he can't plug it in.
Why don't I just throw to you know, obviously, Lee,
you're you're an expert on the Olympics because you've covered
a number of them.
Speaker 4 (07:01):
Well, look, look, I'm an experience. I've done more than most.
I'll give you that, and probably more experience the most more.
You know, you know, the biggest expert in the world.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
I'm up there.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Well, you've covered I think at least three Olympics, of
which one of them you actually went to, and I
have fond memories of you in Beijing, covering it from
Los Angeles, rich the coverage.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
Of the Beijing Olympics.
Speaker 11 (07:23):
Last thing you want to do is get too close
to the action in Beijing, get caught up in the politics,
the hype. From here, we can get some perspective, some
distance on the games and give some unbiased opinion on
what's going on down now in the ground. So join
me now as they take you on Olympic journey.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
On an Olympic show.
Speaker 11 (07:39):
Based at the Crown Plaza Hotel. Here, we have a
number of facilities that's going to help us. We have
a telephone. We also have a mini bar downstairs, a
business center. We can log online and check what's happening
in Beijing. Back in New Zealand, there's a photocopy machine.
Don't think we'll need it, a fax machine. We can
go back and forth and send faxes to and fro
Willing Lilly Jewe east about sixty k that direction.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
We've got the Disneyland Hotel.
Speaker 11 (08:04):
That's our second media center, our media hub if you like,
we'll be be firing information back and forth between the
Disneyland Hotel and this hotel. Here we can link into Tomorrowland,
Frontierland fantasy Land Tontown. We'll be using these two dual
facilities along with our man on the ground in Venice Beach,
Brad Waters. The beauty of doing it over in LA
with the time zones, we're about four hours ahead of Beijing,
(08:26):
so we'll be finding out what's happening in Beijing about
four hours before they even know it's happening by joining
us at Venice Beach at the moment. Is our correspondent there,
Brad Waters?
Speaker 1 (08:34):
Come in?
Speaker 6 (08:35):
Brad, I can't he come again? I can't quite hear you. Yeah,
so breaking up pretty bad?
Speaker 3 (08:43):
Yeah, just just moved to your left. But a couple
of steps will do.
Speaker 11 (08:46):
It all right, Brad Waters of course down at Venice
and we'll be catching up more with him than later
on in the show.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
Yeah, take him back.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
You remember who Brad Borders was?
Speaker 3 (09:01):
No idea.
Speaker 4 (09:02):
I think I just met him on the beach and
said you get to become a journalist. But I look
at that now, I realize how it's hard to take
someone serious when they're wearing Mickey Mouse.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
He isn't it? You know?
Speaker 4 (09:12):
I regret that now, you know, looking back on that,
I don't think i'd be taking myself very seriously.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
But if I if I know, and then.
Speaker 9 (09:20):
For everything place for everything, that's right, that's right.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
You evolved.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
So a very special welcome to sports Capash podcast TB
Sports Cafeesh is a gold medallist Micalli blythe so welcome
welcome home.
Speaker 5 (09:34):
First of all, Yeah, yeah, that's amazing.
Speaker 6 (09:41):
Oh here here is it?
Speaker 9 (09:43):
Well before I go, when I arrived home with mum
and dad, we had a block, a full block of
butter in one hand and this and the other and
this is definitely heavier. So I think it's like roughly
nine hundred grams. I'm going to guess amazing.
Speaker 4 (09:59):
Wow.
Speaker 8 (10:00):
Each Olympics, is there a different gold medal? Do they
look different every time? They're not the same at every
set of Olympics?
Speaker 9 (10:06):
Yeah, definitely. This one's very unique. This one's got a
piece of the Eiffel Tower. This part's kind of is
the same. I don't know what you call that. I'm
gonna call this person Olympus maybe I'm not entirely sure.
Then there's always like an engraved piece on the edge
as well, So there is some sort of like difference
(10:28):
to each one. But I would say like the general
weight of it is quite the.
Speaker 8 (10:32):
Same if you thought about where it goes long term,
like do you is it something that you put on
the wall or is it, you know, just sit on
the bedside table.
Speaker 9 (10:39):
Yeah, so my Tokyo one sits in its little box
and it's actually just in my wardrobe. This one will
hang about for a little bit until people stop asking
to see it, and then it will go in its
box that we get given that's by a luft one
and so that will probably go into the wardrobe as
well with its mate.
Speaker 6 (10:58):
So it's kind of is it actually gold?
Speaker 9 (11:01):
I mean we're going to say that it is, I
mean smells like it.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
So tell me about the celebrations afterwards. How are they
to be honest?
Speaker 9 (11:13):
For me personally, it was rather boring because I went
from winning a gold medal to being drug tested. So
I spent two hours at the stadium, hungry and getting
tired while I was missing out on like the early
cacoons of our celebration.
Speaker 5 (11:32):
So that's a shamble, I know. I'll tell you what
you can do, is you can you can actually get
on the celebration. And if you get on the celebration
and maybe go through the best part of ten beers. Yeah,
when you give your sample, it's the first bit that
you get out.
Speaker 6 (11:47):
If you can sort of get.
Speaker 5 (11:48):
Rid of that without it going in the cup miss
the cap type thing, that's where all the danger is.
And you've got the same specific gravity as water after
ten beers, and so can.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
We can we change the subject? Please leave? Have you
got have you got something that can just get us
away from the subject the drug testing?
Speaker 3 (12:05):
And I was going to add to that, but okay,
if you want.
Speaker 6 (12:10):
You straight after the straight after the after the gold.
Speaker 9 (12:13):
Medal, they sent us stadium and then straight to the
location where our families were. By the time I got there,
everyone was on a really good buzz, but I was.
I ignored my fiance. I went straight to food. I was
that hungry. I hadn't eaten for about seven hours by
this point, so food was far more important. And then
(12:35):
we got to about one thirty and then I pretty
much just went back to my partner's apartment and fell asleep.
So but the rest of the girls party for about
three days straight. So they're young, that hurt, they've got
the energy. I can do a day and then I
need like a week to recover. So unfortunately, I've lost
(12:55):
my touch.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
What about you must have been disappointed with Shelley and
praise the price not making the the semifinals.
Speaker 9 (13:04):
Yeah, no, very disappointed in my Olympic bestI more so
disappointed with the reason of it. You know, fair enough
if she had a niggle or anything, but the fact
that there was a real change of where buses could go,
just simply because she wasn't staying in the village, Like
I think that's bullshit. To be honest, She's an absolute superstar,
(13:27):
so she shouldn't be needing to go on a team
bus to go to the location anyway. She should be
escorted by private vehicle. So it is unfortunate for you,
But you know, she's she's now my Olympic bestie. So
whether she went or not, she or superstar of my
eyes and plenty.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
She seemed to be a really good sort. She seemed
that all the stuff around the social media she seemed
to really embrace.
Speaker 9 (13:50):
And you know, yeah, no, she's super kind, super caring,
and the fact that she made an effort to come
to the stadium and watch us play when she had
no idea who we were was just really special. So
we'll definitely hold on to those memories for as long
as I can.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
But yeah, I.
Speaker 9 (14:09):
Missage here every now and then. He hasn't seen my
messages yet, but when that day comes, love and hope.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (14:15):
One thing I've noticed in watching the Olympics. I've been late,
late to the game, but I watched it the other
night is and this is not a gender based comment,
It's just an observation that I've made, But I've noticed
that there's lots.
Speaker 6 (14:27):
Of women with no necks.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
How can.
Speaker 10 (14:34):
Them?
Speaker 6 (14:34):
What were you watching exactly?
Speaker 3 (14:37):
Are you sure it was the Olympics?
Speaker 5 (14:42):
It was track and field, but but but I you know,
my theory is thats something to do with phone usage
and concrete neck syndrome or something along those lines. But
there were I mean, it's a bit of a defeatus
defeatist attitude, really picking somebody with no neck because really
hang them out.
Speaker 9 (15:00):
Well, yeah, I can tell you now that our team
have next because we've all got neck rashes from our
heavy gold medal, So that's the main thing. But I
get from you know that perspective. We've obviously got really
strong shoulders that take a hurt a lot tougher than the.
Speaker 5 (15:16):
Men, So no doubt about that it's actually a thing
like if you if you watch that, maybe it's the
traps just going up to the neck, or maybe it's
some sort of.
Speaker 6 (15:27):
Advancement like the.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
Can you stop talking because you're digging yourself cheaper into
a hole?
Speaker 8 (15:34):
The percification is really important if we all have the
same how also.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
Mark, how can you say it's not a not a
gender based question and then you say, I've noticed a
lot of women with no necks, that is one hundred percent.
Speaker 6 (15:49):
Who have over developed yes areas? What? What? What I
was meaning to say? Records.
Speaker 5 (15:55):
I only watched the small amount of the Olympics, and
the thing that struck me was that there were a
lot of and I was watching any of the females.
Speaker 6 (16:02):
It just was when I was on watching, it was just.
Speaker 5 (16:05):
The girls in the track, in the field, and a
lot of them have done.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
Seventh.
Speaker 4 (16:14):
The seventh was pretty much the first event I managed
to capture. I'm in your epant moment as well in Spain,
and it really brought me into the games actually, because
I was surfing around at a sinth time zone caught
that and it really keicked it off emotionally. Everything I
suddenly got ship, you know, because that was our first medal, right,
(16:36):
it was our first first gold. That must be special,
you know, kicking it off must be feeling quite good,
you know, setting the challenge to everyone else in the team.
Speaker 9 (16:44):
Absolutely, and the fact that I guess we could claim
that we started the momentum that our New Zealand team
are on now, you know, probably since we've one hour gold,
we've another eight, seven, eight nine medals and still more
to come with obviously the kayakers and the cyclists yet
(17:07):
to finish off as well. So yeah, to get the
first one for the team and it been gold, yeah,
felt fitting. But at the other side of it, it
was really gutting for our boys. They obviously were in
such a good place, but you know that sevens you
get one percent off and you lose, and so unfortunately
for them it just didn't go their way at the
(17:27):
end of the day.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
Playing against the clock so much in Simmons, an't you
as well, like you can get it wrong slightly. You
know you're a better team that you get it slightly wrong.
The clock's sticky down and you're just running out of
time to fix it.
Speaker 9 (17:37):
You know, Yeah, for sure, And I guess actually Mike
Cooper who didn't make the team for Australia, but you know,
a couple of the girls got a cool friendship with them.
He said. The comparison that he found from fifteen's to
sevens was that you've got to be pretty much perfect
in sevens and fifteen you can kind of get away
(17:59):
with some things when especially when it comes to the
breakdown or with catch and pass, but with any sort
of mistake in sevens, it's pounced upon and then it
turns into points pretty much instantly. And so that's the
pressure that we have in our game as well. Is
not only that we've only got fourteen minutes to win,
but we've got to get every single aspect of the
game right to hold onto the control and momentum, and
(18:22):
I think we did that really well this time in Paris.
In comparison to Tokyo Mark.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
You actually played for New Zealand sevens at the World Cup,
didn't you.
Speaker 6 (18:30):
Yes, it's a long time, Goreck.
Speaker 5 (18:33):
Who's the one person you don't want to have a
one on one with, like one person in the world
that you've got like because there were a lot of
players in sevens who were pretty bloody amazing on their
feet who who who was? Imagine the sprinter. Imagine if
you had one on one with her, if you could
catch a ball, you'd be every pretty Friday.
Speaker 9 (18:51):
If it involved contact, the person that I wanted wouldn't
want to do one on one with would be poun
But if it involved just running, Eddie Levi is unbelievably quick.
She gets a lot of credit for her speed and
what she does for her Australian companions, but take her
out of the game and they're a completely different team.
(19:12):
So she has got a lot of speech. She's by
far the fastest one on the circuit and she's only
twenty one or twenty two, so that's scary to think
that she not only could last her but far better
in her rugby game as well. But yeah, definitely her.
But yeah, if it involves contact, you don't want to
run into Porsche, Like, don't even bother run just avoid
(19:36):
her completely.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
Well, the good thing is I'm not planning to.
Speaker 6 (19:39):
She's been amazing for so long.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
Well, probably one of the greatest rugby players of all time,
full stop, one hundred percent.
Speaker 9 (19:45):
What she's done for the game and the statistics that
she has beside it will probably never be matched. So
she's a legend in her own right and that will
continue for a long time.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
And your a legend too, Mikayla. Thank you so much
for everything you've done for us, for those of us
watching the Olympics, you know the buzz that you gave us,
and also thank you for starting up late down there
in tara Anaki doing this. I really appreciate it. I
know you've just got home, you want to get some rest,
so we'll let you go and enjoy just you know,
(20:18):
just that gold medal, but also just what you've done
for New Zealand. Thank you.
Speaker 9 (20:23):
No, I appreciate that this is actually a good as
if I didn't, that's probably fallen on asleep half an
hour ago, so you.
Speaker 6 (20:35):
Break.
Speaker 5 (20:36):
Look, Breck, there was a relatively serious observation around the
next you know, I've been quite shocked.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
I know I have. And that's and we also saw
an opportunity to rip you apart, so we took that
as well.
Speaker 5 (20:47):
No, No, but but the actual it's something to do
with phone usage or gaming. I think that's my theory.
Can you work with me on this concrete neck?
Speaker 9 (21:01):
Guys, it's really lovely to see you.
Speaker 6 (21:03):
I'm going to love you and leave you. I've got
to move on.
Speaker 9 (21:06):
There's just struggling down.
Speaker 8 (21:08):
Here with the lights and the power and all that
sort of stuff.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
So power cut random, right, So joining us now on
the TV sports cap is do we call it Tim
Naki or Tim tim Myers? What do you call it?
Speaker 3 (21:29):
Tim?
Speaker 9 (21:29):
Oh?
Speaker 12 (21:30):
Whatever?
Speaker 3 (21:30):
Suits?
Speaker 13 (21:30):
Yeah, Tim Myles is me me legal dame, I suppose,
but Nacki's what have been going by for a little
while now.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
So for those of you that need some explanation, So
Tim is betting per follower on Instagram on blackjack. Now
give us, give us a breakdown, and we're at at
the moment, h so.
Speaker 13 (21:49):
We're kind of we're not kind of a fight up
series two now because the bits are getting a little
bit out of hand. Got up to one point three
three million fives, so I mean naturally, being one hundred
and three thirty three thousand dollars every day was not attainable,
So put a pen in there, and I've since started again.
Now I've been in Kinsinsbury follower above a million, so
(22:13):
thirty three thousand dollars a day, which is still fucking ridiculous,
but yeah, that's that's kind of what we've got to
now so, but on a bit of a bit of
a tear, an absolute heater of a run. Sorry, if
I'd indistructed. I've got some the ladies beach volleyball up here.
Love the prowess, the physical capabilities of these ladies.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
Nothing do with UNIFU.
Speaker 6 (22:32):
Yeah, so he's sending a little bit like rack.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
He was.
Speaker 5 (22:34):
He was last week talking about Mardia commed each and
how he had a bit.
Speaker 6 (22:38):
Of a pinchan for her when he was a young man.
Speaker 5 (22:40):
And now he's tried to write the equation by talking
about the guy took the pole volt off with his penis.
Speaker 13 (22:45):
Oh yeah, an issue that I'd sad be never faced
in my lifetime.
Speaker 6 (22:48):
But he was talking about waking the hurls with a knacker, just.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
The testicle, their clothing tying around the knee cats.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
Yeah nice you.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
Especially when it's actually knocking, knocking the hurdle. Yeah, it's
just one.
Speaker 12 (23:08):
Hundred and ten meters sprint for you, league.
Speaker 6 (23:11):
There's always one that's just a little bit a little
bit head and the other it sounds.
Speaker 12 (23:17):
Like he's playing the drums every time.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
Yeah, this clar.
Speaker 5 (23:23):
I'm the weird guy basically got a skin on it
that you could pull over a jug and play like
a drum.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
And so just to clarify, I'm the weird guy because
I enjoy watching gymnastics.
Speaker 5 (23:35):
No, you're just a weird guy, mate, full stop, you know.
And we just didn't want to let that go without
making mention of it. Now you've tried to write the
equation by saying, yeah, what about I'll tell you what though,
he would absolutely happily forgive or for go who's got
middle for the adulation and for the commercial success that
(23:56):
will become him as a net resultant kissing the who's
going to have.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
Who's going to have more people hanging around him and
later on him?
Speaker 6 (24:04):
For sure? Yeah, yeah, no doubt about it.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
Just just to clarify, Just to clarify, we're.
Speaker 6 (24:11):
Talking Calvin Klein about the guy get sponsors.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
We're talking about the guy that knocked the bar down
with his piece. That's the guy we're talking about. Just
to clarify because some people might.
Speaker 12 (24:21):
He's going he's got a trojan deal for now for sure?
By now you would hud.
Speaker 6 (24:25):
Yeah, he sort of smuged it off, didn't He smudged
it off? It really wasn't like.
Speaker 5 (24:30):
Ok it wasn't quite like you Lee with the you know,
the hard impact, the callous nut, so to speak. It
was more of a cajoling or a nudging.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
The gentle nudging, grazing.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (24:42):
One could almost say that he did it and he
didn't intentionally know him the storm and the teacup.
Speaker 6 (24:48):
That may yeah, very very clever.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
So Mark stopped. Now when you when you did series
one with with these bits with give it up to
how much did you win?
Speaker 12 (25:03):
It got us high? It really beats me up to say.
Speaker 13 (25:06):
It got as high as one million, sixty thousand and one. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
So I've a couple of terms of this emotionally now,
I at that point, any smart man would have put
a pen in it.
Speaker 12 (25:22):
I was a day eighty something in it about the
poll holder.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
Go again, just can we get back to the question,
which is europe a million dollars up? And where did
you end up?
Speaker 12 (25:36):
I took half a million at the end of it,
so it was still a really good result. You can
look at it two ways.
Speaker 13 (25:41):
I lost five hundred the last week, or I finished
the whole thing winning five hundred, a fantastic result.
Speaker 12 (25:49):
But she's the last. The last week of it was
a real fucking stark reminder of what happens if you
if you play long enough, the house always comes from
in the end. So it was a.
Speaker 13 (25:58):
You're not losing, was you know? I was fully at
terms with the fact that I could lose. The way
I lost was horrendous. It was just something that I
should have you win those the ones that I lost
ninety five percent of the time.
Speaker 3 (26:09):
But I didn't.
Speaker 5 (26:10):
So how do you stop? How do you stop when
the blood rushes to the head? I mean, what's what's
what's your eleven o'clock tender role for gambling? I mean,
you know eleven o'clock the standard drops because you know,
the desperation rises. So there's that that that bell curve.
When you're beating and you feel that the eleven o'clock
tender rule is being breached, you know, what do you
(26:31):
do to put yourself back into line?
Speaker 13 (26:33):
You definitely don't want to be taking the last girl
home at the bar, that's for certain. So it's a
it's a real whip flannel over the head and give
it a reassistment going.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
So just a load of a load of metaphors.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
I don't understand any of them. So we were you
now you.
Speaker 12 (26:49):
Just started it with the talk of the really did
I was.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
Doing the Olympics?
Speaker 12 (26:55):
Oh oh shit, Yeah, so I was still on apologies?
Did you want to revisit that?
Speaker 1 (27:01):
Sorry?
Speaker 5 (27:03):
So it's only only only twenty one that you play.
It's only black jack swinging One's.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
Just black jack.
Speaker 13 (27:08):
I'm just an xterary farmer who loves a bit of
a pants black jack seemed easy, short, sharp, You know
you can do a very quick little commentary, a little
soft insult of the dealer, and be on your way
very quickly.
Speaker 12 (27:18):
I don't need it.
Speaker 13 (27:18):
Then, I've got a friend back in end Z who
a good buddy of mine, Robbo, who edits it.
Speaker 12 (27:23):
Into like a sixty second clip because the footage is
normally a little bit longer. But yeah, I mean I've
got the easy part.
Speaker 13 (27:27):
I just turned the camera on and record myself having
a punt.
Speaker 6 (27:31):
But how do you how do you win?
Speaker 5 (27:32):
Because it's whenever you go to the bloody casino and
you give it a nudge, it's there's no way in
God's green Earth you're coming out with anyway.
Speaker 13 (27:40):
And I like, I don't think i've ever left sky City.
Back when I was living in New Zealand with fucking
cash and pocket. I reckon, I've just found the perfect little,
just little honeymoon spot. There we're doing one and done
a day because I have been real diligent on playing
one a day and done no more, no less when loss.
Speaker 12 (27:58):
Yeah, it seems to have worked. I don't know why.
Speaker 13 (28:01):
I certainly do realize that the longer you played, the
more likely you are to lose. But just not playing
hand after hand each day, I don't know, she's still
played in to be favored.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
Is it far to say that turn one of your
sporting heroes was the human cannibal.
Speaker 12 (28:14):
I don't even know who the human cannonball is.
Speaker 5 (28:16):
You don't know, well, well.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
Here's here's here's a brief introduction to exactly who the
human cannonball is.
Speaker 10 (28:24):
Well, last week, I reck we were fortunate enough to
receive effects from a couple of gents who make that
sport look fairly passive. They're into extreme sports pursuits and
in fact, human project tiling we have with us Ben
and his manager Scott, thanks very much for joining us. Now, firstly, Ben,
to you, how in fact did you get involved in?
Speaker 6 (28:47):
Can I just ask what to project?
Speaker 3 (28:49):
Is it like?
Speaker 8 (28:49):
Shooting yourself out of a cannon.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
That's right, that's right.
Speaker 14 (28:55):
It's weird who projected out of the cannon and trying
to do a certain amount of feats during that period
of time in the year.
Speaker 8 (29:03):
What's at a distance can you get?
Speaker 14 (29:06):
Well, my record is sixty eight buses face to face,
so around.
Speaker 6 (29:13):
Two hundred and sixty meters.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
Have you suffered any injuries?
Speaker 6 (29:23):
It's just mark this man.
Speaker 14 (29:26):
Once the cannon is about to be fired, I get
a ten second warning, which is when the worker is lit.
Speaker 6 (29:33):
And at that stage I just.
Speaker 14 (29:36):
Blank blank my mind and make sure that I'm ready
for projectile. When I get the three second call, I
just my mind closes, I close my eyes and just
think hard and erect, hard and erect, and then.
Speaker 3 (29:55):
And then you're just in the air and it's light time.
Speaker 6 (29:58):
That's what really makes it.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
It certainly is a privilege to have you on the show.
Speaker 14 (30:05):
I'd like to date this opportunity to thank you with
our quest.
Speaker 15 (30:10):
So that's unbelieve it's Cannibal.
Speaker 5 (30:16):
Yeah, he wanted His goal was to get fired over there.
This is a long time ago. Fired out of the
Sydney Harvard Bridge over the Olympics funnily enough in two thousand.
Speaker 13 (30:25):
I can't believe that exists. I've watched a lot of
old Sports Cafe highlights. It used to be our guilty
pleasure on a on a Sunday bend decision to get
the boys started for the day.
Speaker 12 (30:35):
But I've never seen that clip before.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
That one's that we got that from to Papa. That's
a that's a very important deep in the archives.
Speaker 6 (30:43):
Yeah, he never, he never.
Speaker 5 (30:44):
He never got to go over the Harvard Bridge. He
went in practice in the South Island. They shot him
at the under side of the bridge and that was
pretty much.
Speaker 6 (30:55):
That was. That was career. Yeah, the require bridges shot
shot them straighting the other side of it. They fucked
up the angle.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
Now, Tim, you also you were a farrier, is that right?
Used to make horseshoes.
Speaker 13 (31:10):
Yeah, mate, I was a I was a ferry for
for a good teen years there did it was my
first my first trade out of school to be apprenticeship
in Taranaki there and can run your own business for
five or six years.
Speaker 12 (31:22):
And before I put a pin in it, Yeah, before
I did me back in.
Speaker 13 (31:25):
And yeah, now fell away to tairy farming and now
somehow I'm the global blackjack guy.
Speaker 4 (31:32):
I think we just got to parafery here. A farrier
is someone who makes horseshoes.
Speaker 3 (31:35):
Yeah, yeah, it makes it makes make shoes.
Speaker 12 (31:39):
Put shoes on, put shoes on horses.
Speaker 3 (31:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (31:41):
Bob Fitzimmons, the boxer, he was a blacksmith come farrier
back in the day. Written you notice like New Zealand
boxing champion about nineteen Yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
I covered those those those games. Yep.
Speaker 6 (31:54):
He was renouned for putting a cover of horseshoes and
his gloves.
Speaker 3 (31:57):
Yeah, that's apparently very strong.
Speaker 6 (32:00):
I could almost believe Duran sess the stone.
Speaker 10 (32:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
I have no idea what to say anymore, like you
just doing to my show, Tim, thank you so much
for joining us. I don't know how this has been
for you. It's been unique for me. All the best.
Speaker 5 (32:22):
You've been great mate. Why don't you take rex job?
And then we never had a lot of fun?
Speaker 4 (32:27):
Always a question I'd love to be joking aside, Wreck,
you should take over our bedding element of the show. Reck,
you're not doing too well there, Per's I just give
me the gig?
Speaker 3 (32:40):
No?
Speaker 1 (32:40):
Can I just interrupt you there?
Speaker 16 (32:42):
Lee?
Speaker 1 (32:42):
Because thank you, I put fifty dollars on the nose
for Noah Larles to win the one hundred meters this week,
and he came home and paid in a good amount just.
Speaker 6 (32:54):
Just but just as so it just counts.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
So he paid two dollars fifty so so it's a
successful bit. So I have done well this week. So
you know, applause. Well if you're like, if you don't
want to applaud, that's cool. We can always double in later.
Speaker 12 (33:12):
If you have to ask for it. If you have
to ask for it.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
Thanks thanks to all the best, mate, brilliant. Look, I've
been looking at the original the original sports of the Olympics. Well,
there was a thing called the Pink Pink Ration was
one of the sports, and that was basically boxing and
wrestling combined. And I was wondering, should m m A
(33:37):
or UFC be in the Olympics.
Speaker 4 (33:41):
So yes, from me, Rick, I think so it's as
close to the original format as you're saying. It's pure.
I don't want to get too controversy because every time
to bring another sport and I think something has to go.
There's certain sports I think we discussed it. I don't
think really should be there. I really loved watching the
tennis the other day. But should it be there? But
(34:01):
the other one triple jump? Why not just do long jump?
Why do you have to complicate a long jump with
the triple jump?
Speaker 3 (34:10):
It looks kind of weird.
Speaker 4 (34:14):
It's I'm sure those triple jumpers could become good long jumpers,
you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (34:20):
Yeah, I mean you could have. There'd be an interesting
thought process to how you worked out we should do
a triple jump. I mean, what was behind the thinking
that I've made an event?
Speaker 4 (34:29):
It would be some weird thing in nineteen eleven, some
posh guy at some school would have done.
Speaker 3 (34:34):
You know.
Speaker 4 (34:35):
That's the only reason why it's just in there. Why
do we have wood chopping? I'd rather see the qis
wood chopping Olympics.
Speaker 5 (34:43):
But why don't we have And I reckon this would
be just bloody brilliant. But why wouldn't there be a
bull rush a bull rush medal at the Olympics. I mean,
if everyone had three people, you know, from their country
who represented them in bull rush, you can call them out,
(35:04):
you know. So, I mean it's not necessarily the best
player that wins. I mean you could have the best
defender in there, you know, who managed to tackle the jonah.
Speaker 4 (35:12):
It would be the last have been to the games
where they clear out the stadium, they get rid of
all the crap on the field, and the final event
is international bull.
Speaker 6 (35:21):
Rush or like even like what about slippery pigs?
Speaker 10 (35:25):
Then what.
Speaker 1 (35:28):
You put a slippery glaze and catch it.
Speaker 5 (35:31):
He glaze the pig and the person, Yeah, person catches
the slippery pig.
Speaker 6 (35:35):
Let's maybe that's just.
Speaker 1 (35:37):
Let's that's just that's a tiger thing. Let's just stick
to to doing bull rush.
Speaker 4 (35:41):
So how about the javelin where you have to try
and get the peg with from distance?
Speaker 3 (35:46):
You know, let you.
Speaker 1 (35:47):
Know, it's called hunting.
Speaker 4 (35:51):
Yes, that's I'm sure javelins started as a hunting sport.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
So what what we're saying here is we know the
triple Giant because there's too much rubbers, we should replace
it with possibly m a bull rush, throwing a javelin
at the pig.
Speaker 5 (36:08):
Greasy pig, pig hunting greasy pig, and maybe a barbecue.
Speaker 4 (36:12):
At the end of it, everyone in the village, for
everybody posted the whole.
Speaker 1 (36:18):
Village in the spirit, in the spirit.
Speaker 5 (36:20):
Of those bounty runs around there, in the spirit of
those just so you can get a party asshole, because
every every Olympic village needs a party asshole.
Speaker 1 (36:30):
We've got to show asshole every So the good thing is,
with all these changes in the sport of the Olympics,
we're going.
Speaker 6 (36:41):
To say wicked, nasty things like that.
Speaker 4 (36:45):
How about this, how about each country has the event
it's called party asshole.
Speaker 3 (36:50):
So you've got to nominate. You've got to nominate the
party assole from God and you know you've got to
see and then.
Speaker 5 (37:01):
The most feral, despicable bastard at the party.
Speaker 15 (37:06):
You know, every country nominates a party arseholes. That would
be the most washed events of the Olympics. Get ready
sponsored by Buffy Rum. We've got asshole.
Speaker 4 (37:18):
Someone comes to your house in a few years and
sees a gold metal hanging on your wall.
Speaker 3 (37:25):
What was that for?
Speaker 1 (37:28):
All right?
Speaker 6 (37:28):
Yeah, all right, Barcelona two thousands.
Speaker 1 (37:31):
There's only there's only one way I bring this back,
not hay a bit of a bit of the Olympic. No,
some sanity in the show. Can we just play sa
Peter Snell?
Speaker 10 (37:42):
Please, which of your three three gold medals holds are
the most significance to you? I mean, if you hadn't
done a competit to fifteen hundred that must want something.
Speaker 17 (37:53):
Well, well, the clips you showed here, the first one,
which was so exciting because I going in I didn't
think I was going to be a gold medalist. I
was really trying to make the final realistically, and my
goal sort of changed during the event as it turned out,
(38:14):
and I found myself. By the time I reached the final,
I thought well, I could win this. But then during
the running of the race, I got bucked in and
fell too fast, and I so readjusted again and said, well,
you know, maybe I can get a medal out of this.
But to snatch that victory at the last minute, it
was just so exciting, and I don't think I quite
realized that what I'd done for quite a few days afterwards,
(38:38):
just went around in a dream.
Speaker 1 (38:40):
So there you go.
Speaker 3 (38:41):
Just back to legend.
Speaker 6 (38:42):
Yeah, back to absolute legion. But why didn't you have
some bloody footage of it?
Speaker 1 (38:47):
I can't afford the rights.
Speaker 6 (38:52):
Cock.
Speaker 1 (38:52):
Yeah, so Peter Snell, Sir Peter Snell, three gold medals,
legiond that's what an Olympian looks like to me, you.
Speaker 6 (39:00):
Know, Oh yeah, no doubting that.
Speaker 5 (39:04):
But you know, I mean imagine, you know, if we
did get party oursehole into the Olympics. Imagine what an
Olympian looks like in a decade or so, the whole
whole new category. It makes, it makes it achievable for
the common man. And that's what I love about the Olympics.
You know, it's a bit elitist at the moment, but
you know you wouldn't You wouldn't win party ousehole without
(39:25):
a lot of training either.
Speaker 1 (39:26):
I've asked you, I've asked every week for you guys
to send me something about what's made you feel good
this week? Blee? What's what? Have you come prepared with
something that's made you feel good this week?
Speaker 3 (39:39):
Yeah, I kind of have.
Speaker 4 (39:40):
I think you could probably run with the with the
the sevens that.
Speaker 3 (39:44):
That first called medal.
Speaker 4 (39:45):
As I mentioned early, that kept me off, find something,
go ship, you know, I got, you know, I felt
quite emotional overseas. I found patriotic. I found you know,
you know, give me a taste of Kiwi.
Speaker 3 (39:57):
Kind of thing. You know. So if you could run
that footage again, that would be me.
Speaker 1 (40:01):
I can't afford that for them. I can't afford that footage.
Speaker 5 (40:08):
You know, he can only shave pere of Snell talking
about what he did, but he came in and show
him doing it.
Speaker 1 (40:13):
I'm so glad that you said the sevens because I
thought you might go with a greasy peg or a
party asshole, and I was, you know, thought you go
from those things again, So thank you.
Speaker 3 (40:23):
If yes, I probably would have gone with it.
Speaker 1 (40:25):
Look, I felt the show fell apart when Lanna left,
when she had that power cut that she predicted. And
it's fair to say that I've struggled with both of
you tonight and and I'm hoping that maybe in future
weeks we might be able to bring Eric Rush back
and to give us some some sanity and some well.
This is this is a taste of whe Eric Brush
(40:48):
can bring us.
Speaker 16 (40:49):
My Mike's not it is working. Yeah, yeah, you know
this this little mighty kids eating a whole lot of chocolate.
Speaker 6 (40:55):
This fellow comes up to.
Speaker 16 (40:56):
Me and says, mate, you should should you be eating.
Speaker 1 (40:59):
All those chocolate? The skuy is mean.
Speaker 16 (41:01):
My grandfather lived one hundred and twenty six years old,
the sky system year. But he didn't need six chocolate
bars every day. No he didn't.
Speaker 6 (41:08):
But he minded his own fucking businessman.
Speaker 16 (41:15):
Okay, you've got to be black to tell her. Yeah,
I know it's unfair on you white fellows, but I figure,
I figure you guys had your fund in eighteen forty.
Speaker 6 (41:26):
It's just our turn.
Speaker 18 (41:27):
Very yeah.
Speaker 6 (41:51):
So actually, anyway, beautiful, if anyone's in.
Speaker 1 (41:53):
The supermarket, if you go up north to fund a
make sure you'd ask him to call on can see him?
Speaker 6 (42:01):
Yeah, no, we need for sure.
Speaker 1 (42:04):
Yeah, all right, well beautiful.
Speaker 5 (42:08):
Thank god he didn't drink. Imagine if he drank. You know,
Russian never touched a drop. But by god, if we
could only give him some boundary run, he would, he would,
we'd be our representative for Party Oursehol at the Olympics.
Speaker 1 (42:23):
Well, I think I think I'm pretty confident that we'll
be nominating New Meka and I think that you'll. I
think you'll do bloody well for us and represent New Zealand.
Finally you found your score.
Speaker 6 (42:32):
No no, no, no, keep it seeing me.
Speaker 5 (42:36):
You know, you better to be second at the party,
you know, because nobody remembers who was the second track
at the party.
Speaker 6 (42:42):
It's always the party oursehole.
Speaker 5 (42:45):
So as long as you're a couple behind, you know,
let's say the human cannibal, you're safe.
Speaker 1 (42:50):
Right, You're always top three day.
Speaker 3 (42:53):
We know a few, we know a few people that
could you know.
Speaker 1 (42:57):
Yeah, I'll be honest. I'll be honest.
Speaker 6 (43:00):
After Cold, we can nominate a couple.
Speaker 1 (43:02):
After your descriptions of nominating party arsehole to be at
the Olympics and and Lee's description of knocking over hurdles
with his testicles, I'm going to end the show right now.
Speaker 4 (43:15):
Just the one, Just the one testicle that's clear, not
both of them.
Speaker 6 (43:20):
One is always loved the other, m M
