Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to the Jonesy and Demander podcast starting soon
over there in Courtina.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
The Winter Games, we can't really talk much about them
as far as using the words. Don't say it because
Channel nine and they paid a lot of money for that.
I'm okay with that. We were with the cheap a
moder and didn't pay for them.

Speaker 3 (00:18):
So how we call them the icy Olympics. I can't
sue us for that.

Speaker 1 (00:25):
But I do. I think out of all of the games,
the Summer Games.

Speaker 2 (00:30):
And the icy Olympics, the icy Olympics, for me, are
the more superior game.

Speaker 3 (00:35):
Is that because you look at people's lives being threatened
every day with the louge and that downhill stuff and
on ice and blade.

Speaker 2 (00:40):
I've got a run affinity with the snow. I worked
in a snow resort. I met my wife at a
snow resort. Some of the happiest times in my life
we're at a snow resort.

Speaker 1 (00:49):
I love skiing. I'm a big fan of skiing and
I like watching it. I like the Bob sled.

Speaker 2 (00:54):
I like the Giants slalem that's pretty cool. And when
they do the jump and the cross, the snow cross
or whatever, that is.

Speaker 3 (01:02):
What's the snow cross snow angels? Imagine going for gold
and snow angels?

Speaker 1 (01:09):
Where's where's rega when we need the curling? Have you
ever watched the curling?

Speaker 3 (01:15):
This is where you push a big broom behind a robovack.
Why do you have to sweep up after it? I
don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:22):
There was trouble last night because the what happened went out?

Speaker 1 (01:26):
What are you making that up?

Speaker 3 (01:30):
Curlers?

Speaker 1 (01:31):
He Luigi put some more money in the meter?

Speaker 3 (01:33):
Really wasn't that sort of like the games have only
just started officially started always and there was a blackout
the first day.

Speaker 1 (01:41):
This is gonna happen?

Speaker 2 (01:42):
Channel and I have been running a great show just
about you know, former Olympians and stuff like that, and
Stephen Bradbury that he was just talking about his achievements and.

Speaker 1 (01:51):
You know, really there should be a day for Stephen
Bradbury because I think he want to go.

Speaker 2 (01:55):
I know, but a lot of people will look at
Stephen Bradbury. He did a Bradbury lucky, not at all.
He's a guy he qualified for the final from Brisbane
train train trained cut him like, got cleaned up on
the ice, almost died on the ice. Bled out on
the ice, cut very civili in his leg, and then
another time he broke his neck, went straight into the wall,

(02:16):
broke his neck, still came back and managed to qualify.
Keep going through the qualification journey to get to what
we know as the Bradbury moment.

Speaker 3 (02:26):
We should try and get him on.

Speaker 1 (02:27):
I think we should get him because I think there
should be a day.

Speaker 3 (02:30):
And someone who owns a living wearing lycra. That's not
easy because someone I can't do.

Speaker 2 (02:35):
There was a discussion they compared Stephen Bradbury to Reygun
and I said, well, no, that's that's a different kettle
of fish.

Speaker 3 (02:41):
Well, I see, I never understood why we didn't celebrate Raygun.
As Australians, we love an underdog, We love someone that
the rest of the world has an opinion on.

Speaker 1 (02:51):
But Raygun didn't get a medal, she didn't meddle.

Speaker 3 (02:54):
No, it doesn't matter.

Speaker 1 (02:56):
Yeah, I'm not emotional for Australians. I think it does matter.

Speaker 2 (03:00):
You can carry on like you know, a fool or
whatever and do whatever you need to do.

Speaker 3 (03:05):
She qualified as well. She qualified.

Speaker 2 (03:08):
Yeah, I know, but it's like you know, if I
made up a sport, said I'm going to have a crack.

Speaker 3 (03:11):
At this, well, if there was an official body for
it and you qualified fair enough.

Speaker 1 (03:17):
Look at this, this is the official body. I don't
put like anyway. Can you diorize that? We'll get Stephen
Bravery on next week? What do you reckon done
