Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Jerzy and Amanda jam.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
Nason watching the batist v eates for as long as
I can remember.

Speaker 1 (00:06):
I just love watching the Great Race.

Speaker 2 (00:09):
And there's moments when I think of like Larry Perkins
coming back pretty much from last and winning it all
those years ago, or the heartbreak of Glenn's Seaton. Do
you remember the Glen Seaton thing? They've crossed to him.
He's driving along, he's three laps ahead of everyone. He's
got to think about three laps to go, something like that,
and they're saying, well, Glenn, you've got this in the bag.

Speaker 1 (00:27):
He goaes yep, and at that moment his gearbox goes
oh no, And.

Speaker 2 (00:31):
I just remember looking in his face. It still gives
me chills, the heartbreak of that race.

Speaker 3 (00:35):
But don't you think it's amazing a race that goes
for how many hours? Six seven hours?

Speaker 1 (00:39):
Six hours? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (00:40):
How often it comes down to the wire.

Speaker 1 (00:43):
That's extraordinary, and it certainly did yesterday. That's for sure.
The winner has been crowned.

Speaker 2 (00:49):
New Zealander Matthew Payne won the race, but under contention
with Garf Tender, but under contentious circumstances because James Golding
actually crossed the line first, but he copped a five
second penalty for bumping into Cooper Murray.

Speaker 4 (01:04):
I got confused when he crossed the line. Did he
know he was going to be having a penalty.

Speaker 2 (01:08):
I presume he would have. They would have said, because
they had the chats on the radio. Was not just
listening to us.

Speaker 3 (01:14):
It wasn't just decided afterwards.

Speaker 1 (01:16):
No, No, it's not like you win and they take
the victory away from you.

Speaker 3 (01:19):
So if he'd won by seven seconds, he still have won.

Speaker 2 (01:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:24):
Yeah, that's what it comes down to.

Speaker 4 (01:27):
Squat up there, you cannot see when you're going at
the top of our.

Speaker 3 (01:31):
Pal What a way to finished this motorace.

Speaker 1 (01:34):
What an extraordinary night.

Speaker 2 (01:36):
So Cory'll cross the line first, but he's not gonna.

Speaker 4 (01:39):
Win this photo race because of the penalty and the
victory five five crowds.

Speaker 2 (01:46):
And.

Speaker 1 (01:49):
So it would be a little bit of sweet there,
wouldn't it you?

Speaker 4 (01:52):
Yeah, but the weather was extraordinary, that the rain was
so so heavy.

Speaker 2 (01:57):
Well, they brought back memories of Jim Richards, and remember
Dick Johnson. He lost that race to Jim Richards, and
Dick Johnson famously said, I've been beaten by a car
that was a buster that had been crashed, but they
called the race because of all the rain, and that's.

Speaker 3 (02:11):
When Jim they called the race off.

Speaker 2 (02:13):
Yeah, and then he made his because everyone was booing him.
He called them all the pack of assholes.

Speaker 1 (02:17):
You remember that, No, you don't remember that.

Speaker 2 (02:19):
No, it was great to see Craig Lands and Zach
Bates come in at number ten. Zach Bates is the
son of Rick Bates and Alison Drauer Alisondrau, who was
a good work colleague and friend of ours who passed
away last week.

Speaker 1 (02:31):
So I was very proud of that effort from.

Speaker 4 (02:35):
How its ex strawdinary and how he would have had
to Maybe it helped him to have something like that
to focus on that would have taken everything from him.

Speaker 1 (02:42):
Did you see the anthem?

Speaker 2 (02:44):
I was singing the anthem and then we had our
latest fighter yet I think we've only got one of these,
and the guy was just going hell for leather. He's
doing wheel stands in and it's doing all these tricks.
But he came through at the end of the anthem,
and then he scared the crap out of everyone.

Speaker 3 (02:57):
Well maybe he tried to drown out the singing.

Speaker 1 (02:59):
Well, then the conjecture is about the.

Speaker 3 (03:03):
Sydney Lyric Orchestra who who performed this.

Speaker 2 (03:07):
We have to start, we have to start.

Speaker 1 (03:11):
Start, you're stilling, all right.

Speaker 4 (03:13):
I feel sorry for them because they're doing their best,
and yet people have said they're straight out of Bathist RSL.

Speaker 3 (03:18):
This is embarrassing. AFL got snoop.

Speaker 4 (03:21):
We got a Bathist pub band to do a quote
here at s House carryoke the.

Speaker 1 (03:28):
Nlsy Narlesy just brings it. Gret Nalsy up there. I
was watching it with my mom and my mom said,
what's good. They've got the rolling Star.

Speaker 4 (03:35):
Oh my god, imagine, imagine you know who they should
have got to perform. When I did the piano last year,
one of the people who came down to perform was
Thomas Randall, who is one of the He came ninth
yesterday I think nine, fought tenth.

Speaker 3 (03:50):
He's a race car driver.

Speaker 1 (03:51):
We didn't come tenth because that was loundy, so.

Speaker 3 (03:53):
He came ninth.

Speaker 4 (03:54):
Then he came ninth and and he just comes to
the piano and plays.

Speaker 3 (03:58):
This stewing clocks.

Speaker 1 (04:03):
That's my voice.

Speaker 3 (04:04):
They're saying he's doing clocks, And I was right, Maybe.

Speaker 1 (04:10):
I should have got Thomas on the key.

Speaker 3 (04:11):
He's such a nice guy for the race.

Speaker 1 (04:13):
That might be infinitely better than start me.

Speaker 4 (04:17):
Up, Start.

Speaker 3 (04:20):
Do you want that or do you want this?

Speaker 1 (04:26):
Your cot

Speaker 3 (04:28):
Would be sighing in the background.
