Speaker 2 (00:20):
Did you have you dropped the G? Don't drop an e?
Speaker 1 (00:24):
You know, see me go for mcknny in a park.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
And also, you know I don't like you know, abbreviations.
You know I don't like lazy.

grievous bodily harm a GBH.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
No I meant, I don't want you to say cutton.
It's cutting.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Well that's what happens on the cottin room floor, my friend.
You can do whatever you want.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
You're a broadcaster. Yes, yes, I'll never forget it. Let
me ask you about this. This footage has gone viral.
It is of a woman running a marathon. She's not
she's probably what I've shown you the pictures here, probably
fifty I've seen the footage of it. She's probably fifty
meters from the finish line, yep. And her husband runs
(01:06):
out onto the track with her little kids and wants
her to I think there's three little kids. Wants her
to carry them or run with them across the finish line.
She deviates and runs around him because also he's holding
up other people who are also trying to run, and
in the footage you can see him going, hey, come,
old guys, this is eas your kids. Take them across
(01:29):
the finish line with you, because there's a trope at
the moment where people run across the finish line of
some big race with their kids. But normally the ones
I've seen, the kid gets handed to the person they
had to, the dad or whatever. Right at the end
of the race. You've already clocked your time. You know
where you're going to be doing it. Here, this is
fifty meters out and those kids are too small to
(01:50):
run on their own, so her time would be way out.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
She she would ruin her time. I'm just looking at
the time lap.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
So the man comes at a minute forty and forty nine,
and then in a minute forty and fifty two she skirts.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Around the kids. So she finishes up at a minute
forty and fifty six.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
Tell me what that means, Well, it means that I
don't think that he impeded her in any way.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
But if she stopped to run with the kids Jemmy.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
And Tommy and said, come on, let's go, but you
know what.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
A douche what a do and the fact at the
end of it is going, come on, you've ignored your kids.
People are outraged as saying, this is such an entire
back from a man as if mummy's hobby and let's
mum's only mum. It's a mum first.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
Is he a Spanish? I'm detecting a Spanish ribe. It's
in Spanish.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
She might have traveled to Spain for this race.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
No, I'm feeling Spanish because like there's a little bit
of a sexist race email in Spain.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Well, but people all over the place in that country included,
have It's had nine million views on tip and people
are saying he's a douchebag.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
He is a giant, and people are.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Saying this sort of reveals a lot of how women
are seen in their marriages. He goes, that's nice for
you to have that little hobby, but you're a mum first.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Yeah, yeah, she's she's a serious runner up. She's that
time one minute and forty and fifty six.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
That's a respectable time. That's under the two hours. So
I don't know how long the marathon was for.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
But she didn't just get out of a car at
the top of the hill.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Yeah, she's she's doing it. She's having a fair crack there.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
It's like, why don't I just step out in hands
on an anvil and say do the last fifty minutes
with this because this is my emotional support. Anvil, take
it across the line.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Why did you do this for the kids? The anvil challenge? Mom?
Come on, you know he didn't see this in Cliff
Young's day. Actually, if his kid kid ran out when
he was crossing, they were still on the bench about
fifty as Cliff.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
His kids are too old to run. Remember when he
got married on the stage at Westfield. He got married
to a much younger woman who's religious. Mary Ah Cliff
for those that don't know, was a potato farmer. Yeah,
and he he took up marathon running and he used
to do this really slow shuffle. He used to running
gum boots.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Things when he ran from Sydney to Melbourne.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
And he became a giant cultural pop culture hero. He
was on the midday show all that stuff, and then
he was sponsored by Westfield I think, who arranged for
him to be married to the much younger Mary on
stage at Westfield.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
Didn't Westfield get him to run around to all their shops,
like all around the country, Pope. Then he had wheeled
out on stage. People had sort of looked slack jawed
at him. Who is this guy in gum boots?
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Now that marriage didn't last in might surprise you?
Speaker 1 (04:31):
No, what happened? Then?
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Shall I google it? Yes? Can you talk to the
people while I google?
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Now, well, Cliff, this is my time to show.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
I'm going to google Cliff Young marriage. If I google
Cliff Richard marriage, by mistake, nothing's going to come up. Okay,
here you are you ready? Cliff Young Mary Cliff had
never married, but after the nineteen eighty three race at
sixty two years of age, he's my age.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Oh my god, Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
He wasn't an elderly man. He was sixty two.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
I thought he was about at least seventy five.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Wow, he married a twenty three year old sixty two. Yeah,
that's happened. What happened to a Cliff's.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Wife sixty two just doesn't go into twech.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
The race sponsor, Westfield, hosted the wedding for the entertainment
of shoppers. They divorced five years later in the All
three with the red Sports sixes too.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
How Cliff would be passed? He was blonde god by now.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
I think so. How much money did Cliff Young win?
For his money? He got a check for ten thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
That was bad in nineteen eighty three, that was good
Money's true.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
He told the organizers he wasn't aware there was a
prize for winning. So anyway, Yeah, he seems like he
was a very inspirational man. Was Cliff Young vegetarian is
the question here. He was a vegetarian from birth until death.
He lived in his family home with his mother and
his brother, Sid, who was single. Until after the race
he met the girl of his dreams, twenty three.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Year old, a girl of everyone's dreams and.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Whose dream isn't it marry on the center stage at
Westfield sixty two. Let's just knock the wind out of
my saying.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
We should get you some gum boots, miss tweeting from Chicken.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
