Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to the Jonesy and Demander podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Well, we're allowed to talk. There are certain phrases we
can't when we talk about what I've dubbed the icy Olympics.
Speaker 3 (00:11):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Because we're not an affiliated network, we are not allowed
to and.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
General pony up the money. I think that's fair enough.
The media dollar is tough these days. All that, I
totally respect.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
All of that a case, which means that when we
talk about it, we can't play clips.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
I can't even read these internal guidelines, but I will
tell you this. We can say icy Olympics, yes, and
we can use this theme.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Icy Olympics from it dely happening. Now. Well, I've got
a story that has just gone viral just in the
last day or so. And this is a story about
a Norwegian. Can I say Olympian? I just have. His
name is Stirlaholm Leigrade and he has won bronze in
the biathlon. The biathlon this is a skiing and shooting.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Oh yeah yeah, because they ski and then go slow
their heart rate down and shoot an antelope for something.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
I think they just shoot targets, don't they. I don't
think they shoot live things. In the old day, yes, well,
this would be based on an actual skill set for
a soldier, presumably, But now it's just a weird combination
of things. It's like shopping and praying on the snow
or something, weird combinations. But I'll tell you the story
about what's happened here, and then actually i'd like to
(01:28):
we can't use his audio.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
No, no, that's another one.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
That's another one we can't use. But he said some
words that I wish I could tell you. So what
I've decided to do is Ryan, how are you with
a Norwegian accent?
Speaker 3 (01:38):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Jeez?
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Is that it?
Speaker 3 (01:40):
JMI right? This is what you do?
Speaker 1 (01:41):
You do your writing plays.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Try Norwegian?
Speaker 1 (01:45):
You're an actor. Okay, I've never done Norwegian. I'm more
like Robert Irwin. I can do.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Robert, hey, guys, and now do someone Norwegian.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Like, hey, you guys, that'll do well. You're going to
play the role like a Norwegian Robert.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
You're going Togian music, okay, put some okay, man, all right,
this is traditional Norwegian music. I feel like some Hugen dusts.
So what's going to happen here? You're going to play
the role of Stirl And this is a real story.
This is what's happened. Just days ago. He got a
bronze medal, but he said he he was heartbroken and
(02:28):
he's crying on the podium, not because he got bronze,
but because his girlfriend broke up with him this week.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
Oh that's sad.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Well, wait to hear the circumstances. Ryan. These are the
words he said on the podium. Okay, might need to
turn the music down a bit.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
There's someone they wanted to share it with who might
not who might not be watching today.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Six months ago, this just feels italian.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
Six months ago, I met the love of my life,
the most beautiful and person.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
In the world. Give a bit of flair. Three months ago,
I mean, the biggest mistake and done there.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
So they've been going out. People are going for three
months at the time. Yes, how long were they to go?
Six six months? Six months and three months into it,
he cheated? Keep going gets worse.
Speaker 4 (03:18):
I told her about it the week ago. It's been
the worst week of melee.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
So he's chosen to tell her about it the week
of the Olympics. Right, keep going ahead.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
A gold medal in my life, and there are probably
many who look at me with different eyes, but I
only have eyes for her one more.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
I wish I could share it with her.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
So he's balling his eyes out, saying that she he's
had the worst week of his life because he told
her he cheated on a three months ago, that it
happened three months into their relationship. Then he was asked
not funnily enough, people are fascinated and have asked him
what's going on at the post race interview? Ryan, these
are his words.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
So today I made the choice that they're the word
what they did. So maybe maybe there's a chance that
she will see what she really means to me, and
maybe not, but I don't want to think I didn't
try everything.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
To get her back.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
So yeah, And so the day after that, there was
another press conference and guess what he was asked about this,
I'm going to play the role of the journalist. Heam
on Norwegian. Well where's my No, you're just an onlooker.
Agg Have you had any reaction from the girl? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (04:30):
I haven't got any reaction from that girl I mentioned,
so yeah, and that be because because then maybe she
hasn't seen it.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Yeah, right, she hasn't seen it. Her ex boyfriend is
on the podium, bawling his eyes up.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
But she has good luck.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
Brood is Norwegian Wood got him.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
I think I need to apologize to Norway for that.
Speaker 3 (04:52):

say it?
Speaker 1 (04:56):
