Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Super Serious Sports Show with Chris Coleman and Adam Jansen.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Welcome to the Super Serious Sports Show. My name is
Adam Jansen, and across from me today is not Chris Coleman.
Across from me today is Maddie who was on our
Best of show last time, who's also on our Best
of show today.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
I'm the best of girl and voiceover girl in case
you forgot, I'm also the one that says in between
the bits that goes the Super Serious Sports Show, that's you,
that's me, and this is me talking not like.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
That hopefully throughout this entire best of episode.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Also former Raiders cheerleader.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Yes, in the last year of the Raiders Cheerleaders actually
and also fun fact, I was at the very first
Viking clap of the Raiders got I was part of
the very first Lot one and they told us not
very long before going out on the field. It was
a bit of a confusing time, but we did it
and I was part of history.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
So good time. But it is a best of it.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Chris Coleman is not with us today, but that doesn't
mean you're not going to hear his voice.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
No, No, you're gonna hear his voice on plenty of
our best bits and worst bits. I guess you could
call it the Hits and Missus Volume two. What a
great name, now, Maddie, the first bit that we're going
to replay here, Chris and I love a good team nickname.
Just a good team name, not even the nickname part,
just a fun team I feel like you need.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
One, especially this day and age.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
If you're getting a new team into a sporting code,
you need to have the following behind it.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
A name will definitely help.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Well. The Dolphins come into the NRL and just calling
themselves the Dolphins, not particularly creat Have you got any
fun favorite team names?
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Not that I can think off the top of my head.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Over in America, I'm a big fan of the Dallas Cowboys,
controversial to some and not to others. But switching to
another team within that is the Bengal Tigers and their
cheerleaders were called the Bengals, which I.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Think is just great.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Yeah, I thought you'd like that.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
Yeah, the Bengals the.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Ben Gals instead of the Bengals. Anyway, I stumbled across
a team in the minor league of baseball over in
the US, and this is me giving it to Chris Coleman.
Do you remember about three months ago we're talking about
team nicknames.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
I'm hard pressed to remember yesterday, but yes, yes, yes,
so team nicknames.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
And you brought one to the table that I thought
was really, really good, the Carolina Disco Turkey.
Speaker 5 (02:19):
Yes, I got a T shirt from them. You got
a T shirt. I've got a T shirt. I should
have worn it today. I've got it. I'll bring it
in next time.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
I reckon, I've found a better team name, a better
team name, a better team name than the Carolina Disco Turkeys.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
Are they do? They play in the Rocket City? By
any chance they do?
Speaker 5 (02:38):
Isn't it amazing that I knew where you were going?
Speaker 2 (02:40):
The Rocket City trash Panders trash panders more commonly known
as a rakko. So yeah, the Rocket City trash pandas
there are Feeder is that what you call it? The
Feeder Club, farm club, a farm team. Yeah, the to
the Los Angeles Angels. They play out of Alabama and
(03:03):
they've only been around for a couple of years. I
just saw that pop up and I went, that is
that is the greatest team name I think I've ever seen.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
We're gonna have to do it. We're gonna have to
do a half hour on well, on team names. I
think we just have to sit down and find some
and actually get some people on from these clubs and
get some of the history or get some sports historians
on to talk about some of these club names.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
I'm one hundred percent getting myself some Rocket City trash
pand at merchandise. The logo is great. It's got a
little raccoon in a trash can and he's rocketing. I
don't know if that's a thing, but yeah, it's anyway.
I want to see if you can beat that. Now, Maddie,
you've done two breakfast radio shows around the country before,
(03:45):
and I've asked you this question. I asked you this
question last time we did a best of edition. But
have you ever come up with just a stupid game
or a stupid competition on short notice?
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Like, I feel like you haven't done breakfast radio if
you haven't come up with a really stuy called. I
think the ones that comes to the top of my
head is is this an Oprah saying or a quote
from the Psycho movie? Actually a very difficult game to play.
I'll test you at some point. But I've also done
jazz band or crime syndicate. So take your pick.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Well, on a super serious sports show, Mattie, we play
what is it or Where is It from? And well,
this is my second attempt at this game.
Speaker 5 (04:25):
Are you ready? Aj yep, let's do it? Okay? Sport
one of three?
Speaker 3 (04:30):
What is it?
Speaker 5 (04:31):
Or where is it from? Where are you going? Where
is it from? Where is it from?
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (04:34):
You've gone. You've made the wrong choice. Camel jumping. Well
was it camel jumping? Camel jumping? Camel jumping? What do
you think camel jumping might be? Well, camel jumping. This
according to the website legit dot ng, So that's a
really reliable source.
Speaker 5 (04:52):
One of the oldest weird sports in the world.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
Professional camel jumpers use their speed and strength to move
over as many camels as possible. It is practiced by
the Zaranique tribe in its country of origin. We are
not sure whether it has been approved by the animal
rights group Peter or not.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
So people are jumping over the camels. So it's not
the camels that are jumping. It's not like a show jumping.
Speaker 5 (05:13):
I know.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
It's people jumping over the camels to see how many
camels you can jump over. I have a picture of
a man here who has just jumped over too.
Speaker 5 (05:19):
Well.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
I'm glad I didn't go the other one because I
would have got it wrong, because I would have said,
camel jumping is camels.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
That would have actually been quite funny. That wouldn't be
bad to watch. Actually, camel's steeplechase. AnyWho where's it from?
Speaker 5 (05:32):
Who's crazy?
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Nepal?
Speaker 5 (05:36):
Nepole?
Speaker 4 (05:37):
No, they don't have camels in Nepal, but they have
plenty of camels in Yemen. Adam Jansen is none for one?
Speaker 5 (05:43):
Okay? What is that?
Speaker 2 (05:44):
That's where Chandler pretended to go. Actually, I think he
actually went there in friends.
Speaker 5 (05:48):
Yeah, yeah, yeah? What is it? Or where is it from?
Where you going? Which one?
Speaker 2 (05:51):
We'll go? What is it this time?
Speaker 5 (05:52):
What is it? Okay?
Speaker 4 (05:53):
This is possibly one of the easiest ones you'll ever get.
Chess boxing. What is chess boxing other than a German sport?
What is chess boxing?
Speaker 2 (06:06):
How is that easy?
Speaker 5 (06:08):
Well, chess boxing.
Speaker 4 (06:09):
You think about it for just a second. Don't don't
overanalyze things, Okay, chess boxing, I don't know, you really
don't know. You alternate rounds against the clock. You have
a round of chess. Yeah, and then when the bell goes,
you get up and you try and punch the living
suitcase out of your opponent. Then the bell rings for
(06:31):
the inn around, you get down and you play chess again,
hence the name chess boxing. So it goes back and
forth because fourth between chess and boxing.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
I don't know where do they play that?
Speaker 4 (06:41):
Germany? Apparently it was. It was invented by a Dutch
performance artist. So I would have given you. I would
have given you Holland I got the idea from a
French graphic normal, so I would have given you France,
and I would have given you Germany and all. Written
in nineteen ninety two by Enky bill Al in the
book which means cold equator. I think so. The apparently
(07:03):
also has fans in India and Russia. Go figure, all right,
last one, last one?
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Okay?
Speaker 5 (07:10):
What is it?
Speaker 4 (07:11):
Or where is it from? Where is it from? Where
is it from? Congratulations? You have chosen man versus horse Marathon,
a sport that started in nineteen seventy nine to settle
a pub argument where the locals wondered who would win
a race between a man and a horse. From that time,
(07:33):
marathon race of twenty two miles has been held in
this country involving horses and men. Interestingly, the horse has
won most of the races, but men have won twice,
taking home a forty thousand dollars cash prize.
Speaker 5 (07:45):
But the more important question, Adam Jensen, is.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
Where did the man versus horse marathon originate?
Speaker 5 (07:53):
Which country? Ireland?
Speaker 4 (07:56):
You're not far geographically wrong? No, No, You've got to
go the by the Way Wales, Wales.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
I was in the right area, you were not far wrong,
you were not farro pub and I just went yeh, yeh.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
Sadly you've gone nought from three. But I do I
would like to say one of your more entertaining efforts.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
The Super Serious Sports Show.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
Maddie, do you ever have a weekend where things just
don't go your way?
Speaker 3 (08:22):
Probably? I don't know.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
I work a lot of the weekends, so you could
say that doesn't happen, But I don't know.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
I guess no. I can't think of anything off the
top of my head, though.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Imagine you have about seven or eight sporting teams that
you follow, yeah, and all seven or eight of those
sporting teams lose.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
I woke up on Saturday expecting a good weekend in
the world of sport. The Los Angeles Dodgers were playing
the Louis Cardinals, a team I despise and in fact
in the Friday game over there, having lost sixteen eight
on the Thursday game. They won the Friday game five.
No that came through early Saturday morning. I was feeling
pretty good about how my weekend was going to shape up.
The more games than that. The Brumbies were playing the
(09:02):
Western Force, who were not a great side in Super Rugby.
Spurs were playing the awful Brentford in the English Premier League.
Speaker 5 (09:09):
The Raiders were on a five game winning streak.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
The GWS Giants were looking like still need to get
back into some sort of form.
Speaker 5 (09:16):
During the course of.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
Saturday, I made my plans, I worked out where it
was going to be for various things, and wandered around
to Super Rugby time. The Brumbies had the chance to
set up a clash for top spot this week with
a win over the Western Force last week it was
second versus eighth. The Brumbies then rested players.
Speaker 5 (09:38):
How they go.
Speaker 4 (09:38):
They rested players in a game that were have guaranteed
them a top spot clash this week. They lost thirty
four nineteen. They are now third. They are a distinct
chance of dropping out of the top four and if
they make the finals, which they will, having to play
all their finals on the road as the lower seeded team.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
How many times think finals eight out of yeah, yeah,
I know it. And if you finish, if you finish
five to eight, you don't. Yeah, you're right, two play
seven three places? Yes, yeah, and this tournament, yeah, exactly so.
So that was Saturday night, early ish. Shortly after that
game was was Rolling Spurs wandered out at their magnificent
(10:21):
home stadium, their magnificent to the hot Spurs Stadium, with
some remote chance of still qualifying for the Europa League
by the way of squeezing into the top six. They
were up against Brentford, who looked Brentford with apologies to
their three fans in Australia, they suck and eight minutes
in the Bees they're the Bees, these who were red
(10:41):
and white.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
Now I know about you, right, I know you. I've
never in my life seen red and white bees. Okay,
eight minutes.
Speaker 5 (10:51):
In English Premier League.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Names confuse me so much.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
Harry Kane scored a goal which means I think he's
now scored goals against more Premier League opposition than anyone else.
He's got one. Yeah, yeah, he's got one. One Brentford score.
Spurs lost at home three to one. So, like I said,
sport gives you the chance to be uplifted, unless you're me.
Because the Brumbies bone now a team I have loved
and followed for many years, followed by Spurs, a team
(11:17):
that I have loved and despised for many many years,
both got pantsed.
Speaker 5 (11:21):
We moved round to Sunday.
Speaker 4 (11:22):
During the course of Sunday, the Saturday night Major League
Baseball game in the States was played. The Dodgers lost
six to five. Sunday afternoon, the Raiders came out off
the back of a five game winning streak against Manly,
aside I have despised and hated for thirty plus years.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
The Raiders came out, scored a try, and then went
back in. Well, yeah, they came out, scored to try
and lost forty two to fourteen. Are you seeing a
pattern here, aj? Yeah, your team suck. It gets better,
it gets better.
Speaker 4 (11:51):
I went home after that game, I sat down, I
turned on the AFL GWS had actually led at quarter
time and we're level with Sint Kilda at half time.
We're only three down at three quarter. Sign I'll watched
that game. They managed to in the last quarter kick
a grand total of one goal. One goal. Sint Kilda,
(12:13):
to their credit, to their ever loving credit, did not
bury Gws. They came out and kicked two goals seven
so they could have kicked seven or eight goals in
the last quarter. Regardless, Jedo, we has lost by twelve.
And then to rub all the salt in the world
in on Monday, the Sunday Major League Baseball game was
played in the US Monday Australian time, and the Dodgers
(12:33):
lost ten five. So that is why you should love sport,
because he just gives you the chance to be uplifted
and to have all the hope in the world completely
and utterly dashed, repeatedly, time after time, right across your weekend.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Now, Maddie, you've seen this book sitting on my desk.
I'm very proud of it.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
Are the Chris Colmen Book of Feuds?
Speaker 2 (12:49):
That's the one. Yes, So a short time ago on
this show, I added three more chapters. My chapters chapters.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Okay, that's intense.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
Three more chapters is intense but very very necessary. Here's
Chris finding out about those three new chapters for new
listeners of our show. About two months ago, I wrote
a book called Chris Coleman's Book.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
A few you plagiarized things that I've said on the radio,
compiled them and put them in a book and called yourself, Now,
these don't have.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
The things that you said. This has information about the
people that you spoke of. All right, okay, and so
you've made some new entries, have you, Yeah, yeah, so
so we you're going to end up in the books.
So adding to the state of Florida, the Carlton Football Club,
the San Francisco Giants, I deserve it, the Arston Football
Club and David Warner, he deserves it. The newest entry
(13:36):
I nearly put this in the first time. Nelson a
Soft of Solomona from the Melbourne Storm.
Speaker 5 (13:41):
He deserves it.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
A New Zealand professional rugby league footballer who plays for
the Melbourne Storm in the NRL and New Zealand at
international level. A softa Solomona won the twenty seventeen NRL
Grand Final and the twenty twenty NRL Grand Final with
Melbourne Big Nels has been penalized or charged on numerous
occasions for the use of elbows and forearms during play.
(14:03):
Is that why you're not a fan?
Speaker 4 (14:04):
Well, I'm not a fan because he hasn't been penalized
enough for it, because he still does it.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
He broke or he knocked teeth out of Wade Egan's
mouth in a game last year and nothing happens. And
that was after the one on Joseph Suliki. I think either,
I think the same season with the same move, the
one where he just drops on door.
Speaker 4 (14:25):
It's not I will say this is actually probably not
quite fair to put Nass in there because it's more
the NRL leading with the elbow tackle officiating. But anyway,
move on. You've got another one. I assume how many
have we got here?
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Well, you notice I brought a beer in?
Speaker 5 (14:42):
Oh good god? Yeah, all right.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
Remember the other night after the Raiders game, how I
offered you a beer? Yeah, and then you went to
the fridge to get yourself a beer and you had
two choices. Yeah, one of them was four x one,
one was four x gold and the other one was
Cappel Brewing summer day. Oh, you did not hesitate the
slightest and you went for the summit.
Speaker 5 (15:02):
Most right thinking people would do the same.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
Four X pronounced four X is a brand of Australian
beer brewed in Milton, Brisbane by Queensland Brewers Castlemaine Perkins,
now a division of the Japanese owned Lion. It enjoys
wide popularity in the state of Queensland, where it is
commonly found on tap in pubs and bars. Why don't
you like four X?
Speaker 5 (15:24):
I just don't like it. It's awful stuff because.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
It's not because you associate with like the Queensland striginem.
Speaker 5 (15:29):
I don't like the taste of it. It's awful. It's awful.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Next next one, I have to go to Twitter. This
is the reason we're doing this segment this week. Some
of this is not safe to read on the radio
flow rating ten out of ten. Quite surprising. Old mate
Peers manages to tweet so much twaddle because he seems
to have and I can't read the rest. That was
(15:55):
after you shared a tweet of Peers comply about the
Australian side, saying how there's never been a less deserved
retention of the ashes. Piers Morgan was an English broadcaster journalist, writer,
television personality, lover of the English cricket team and hater
of the Australian side. During the twenty twenty three Ashes series,
(16:18):
Peers has blown up to lux after the stumping dismissal
of Johnny Bearsto on the second Test and the rain
effected draw in the fourth Test which resulted in Australia
retaining the Ashes. I don't need to ask you why
you don't like Peers Morgan. I think we covered that
earlier in the program ten out of ten flog Grader.
Speaker 5 (16:37):
Flow grading ten out of ten. It's right up there.
Speaker 4 (16:39):
And in twenty thirteen when England retained the Ashes due
to a match being washed out when they were chasing
about three hundred and ten for victory, and with three.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Series where Stuart Broad nicked it to first slip.
Speaker 4 (16:52):
Good will be yeah, yeah, But at the end of
that twenty thirteen match where rain came in, who was
one of the happy tweeters of all the English millions
of people, one Piers Morgan.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
Oh, he's in the book of feuds now.
Speaker 4 (17:07):
And yeah, I'm sure he'll be thrilled to hear that too,
if he hasn't blocked me on Twitter.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Yet now, Maddie, we've all done ourselves a stupid injury
at one point in our lives. I broke a toe
tripping upstairs carrying a bowl of wheat. Bis.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
I feel like no one's got an injury that's not
stupid if you really think about it, and no one
goes out in their day planning to get injured. But
personally for me, I've walked into the boot of my
car and split my eyebrow open. That was really fun.
But my partner, he's probably got the best one. That
he was carrying towels and then clipped his pinky finger
(17:42):
on the hallway door frame and essentially the pinky finger
ripped back and shattered his entire hand and he now
has metal.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
To hold it together.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
Oh Nathan, Yeah, I love the.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
Worst stories than that that he's done.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
And between him and his father, who are very clumsy
and have stupid injuries, we could have a whole separate
podcast story show.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
Well, imagine your partner was a professional sportsman and he
had to miss a game because of said silly injuries
or said stupid injury. Here are some of the best
nineteen ninety nine State of Origin camp yep Wayne Peace
took over as the coach. He did and Tommy Rodonica.
So Tommy loved to drink and Tommy loved a drinking
(18:24):
bonding session. Wayne Peace did not. He had a great idea,
Wayne Peerce talked, took the team horse riding. That was
a great idea, great idea for everyone except for Robbi
Kerns and the great Raider Bradley Clyde. Robbi Kerns came
off his horse broken collarbone, twelve weeks, missed the entire
State of Origin series. Brad Clyde injuredy shoulder, he missed
eight weeks.
Speaker 5 (18:46):
Not good.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
No, Basically, if you're going to go on a bonding
camp for State of Origin.
Speaker 5 (18:50):
Don't go any of the horses, don't.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Do anything dangerous, don't do anything stupid. We move forward
to two thousand and one and I love this story
because of the story as Iram remember it at the time,
was that remember Tim Brasher that played for the Balmain
Tigers and South Sydney rabbit Os and the Cowboys, and
he played for and he played for Australia and New
South Wales. The story was at the time that he
(19:13):
injured himself slipping off a chair at home basically cleaning
a fan. Apparently that's not actually what happened.
Speaker 5 (19:23):
What happened.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
It has since been discovered that the injury was the
result of an accident that occurred during a trail biking
adventure with former Cowboys half back Nathan Feen. No one
knows why the Cowboys decided to try and cover it
up one stupid injury with another make believe stupid injury.
But he wouldn't have been the first NRL player to
injury his knee at home had that been what happened.
(19:45):
David Kidwell, while it was, the South Sydney captain injured
his knee out for the season tripping over one of
his kids at home. Yeah, it happens. It happens in
the AFL. Brad Johnson, Western Bulldog's captain got injured. Wh
and he got hit by a golf cart out on
the training thing. It happens, and it basically it fastened
the end of his career.
Speaker 5 (20:06):
Did it? Did it? Did?
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Jack Whiton Raiders player twenty twelve missed the majority of
the season after injuring his toe backyard trampoline. Do you
remember that?
Speaker 1 (20:21):
So?
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Pearl Jack White? And he missed most of the season
was his debut year. He came back at the end
of the year, but he played one game, one game
in the finals before we were turfed out, and the
final one I'm going to go to From an Australian standpoint,
I don't think it was here. I think it was
actually overseas. Brad Hadden.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
Thee.
Speaker 5 (20:38):
This one's famous. You can't go around with the high five's.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
Willy nilly, willy nilly. James Faulkner poked him in the eye. Actually,
a little quick story though about Brad Hadden. Brad Hadden
nearly stuff at an injury at this radio station. So
really going to our football when you go into our
voiceover booth here down in production, the little room next
to yours set room, there's a little step that goes
down into it. Brad came into to voice and ad
for a charity, being the incredibly kind man and big
(21:01):
greater support of the Brad Hat did you know the
step was there? He tripped on the step and he
nearly cleaned up his head on the stand that was
in there. So Brad haddn't nearly suffered a double injury
in the voice of booth. He was in the Australian
team at the time. Could you imagine how he injured
his knee or Injuredy's head or something like that.
Speaker 5 (21:19):
That's really simple. You can't go around recording charity commercials.
Willy nilly.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
Well, I'm not entirely sure i'd have a job so anyway,
So when former brumby David Pocock was in the building
the other day, I was like, David.
Speaker 5 (21:27):
Please watch your step. Good plan.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
Thank you Maddie. This has been our second ever hits
and misses, our second ever best and worst of the
Super Serious Sports Show. Just something to look out for
on our feed. We'll have an interview with Raiders NRLW
player Sophie Holloman. That'll be up on the feed tomorrow.
We've had Sophie on the show previously. She's a great
chat so look out for that one. And Chris, if
(21:52):

listening back to yourself, I will catch you back in

Speaker 2 (00:05):
Welcome to the Super Serious Sports Show. My name is
Adam Jansen, and across from me today is not Chris Coleman.
Across from me today is Maddie who was on our
Best of show last time, who's also on our Best
of show today.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
I'm the best of girl and voiceover girl in case
you forgot, I'm also the one that says in between
the bits that goes the Super Serious Sports Show, that's you,
that's me, and this is me talking not like.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
That hopefully throughout this entire best of episode.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Also former Raiders cheerleader.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Yes, in the last year of the Raiders Cheerleaders actually
and also fun fact, I was at the very first
Viking clap of the Raiders got I was part of
the very first Lot one and they told us not
very long before going out on the field. It was
a bit of a confusing time, but we did it
and I was part of history.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
So good time. But it is a best of it.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Chris Coleman is not with us today, but that doesn't
mean you're not going to hear his voice.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
No, No, you're gonna hear his voice on plenty of
our best bits and worst bits. I guess you could
call it the Hits and Missus Volume two. What a
great name, now, Maddie, the first bit that we're going
to replay here, Chris and I love a good team nickname.
Just a good team name, not even the nickname part,
just a fun team I feel like you need.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
One, especially this day and age.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
If you're getting a new team into a sporting code,
you need to have the following behind it.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
A name will definitely help.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Well. The Dolphins come into the NRL and just calling
themselves the Dolphins, not particularly creat Have you got any
fun favorite team names?
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Not that I can think off the top of my head.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Over in America, I'm a big fan of the Dallas Cowboys,
controversial to some and not to others. But switching to
another team within that is the Bengal Tigers and their
cheerleaders were called the Bengals, which I.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Think is just great.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Yeah, I thought you'd like that.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
Yeah, the Bengals the.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Ben Gals instead of the Bengals. Anyway, I stumbled across
a team in the minor league of baseball over in
the US, and this is me giving it to Chris Coleman.
Do you remember about three months ago we're talking about
team nicknames.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
I'm hard pressed to remember yesterday, but yes, yes, yes,
so team nicknames.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
And you brought one to the table that I thought
was really, really good, the Carolina Disco Turkey.
Speaker 5 (02:19):
Yes, I got a T shirt from them. You got
a T shirt. I've got a T shirt. I should
have worn it today. I've got it. I'll bring it
in next time.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
I reckon, I've found a better team name, a better
team name, a better team name than the Carolina Disco Turkeys.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
Are they do? They play in the Rocket City? By
any chance they do?
Speaker 5 (02:38):
Isn't it amazing that I knew where you were going?
Speaker 2 (02:40):
The Rocket City trash Panders trash panders more commonly known
as a rakko. So yeah, the Rocket City trash pandas
there are Feeder is that what you call it? The
Feeder Club, farm club, a farm team. Yeah, the to
the Los Angeles Angels. They play out of Alabama and
(03:03):
they've only been around for a couple of years. I
just saw that pop up and I went, that is
that is the greatest team name I think I've ever seen.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
We're gonna have to do it. We're gonna have to
do a half hour on well, on team names. I
think we just have to sit down and find some
and actually get some people on from these clubs and
get some of the history or get some sports historians
on to talk about some of these club names.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
I'm one hundred percent getting myself some Rocket City trash
pand at merchandise. The logo is great. It's got a
little raccoon in a trash can and he's rocketing. I
don't know if that's a thing, but yeah, it's anyway.
I want to see if you can beat that. Now, Maddie,
you've done two breakfast radio shows around the country before,
(03:45):
and I've asked you this question. I asked you this
question last time we did a best of edition. But
have you ever come up with just a stupid game
or a stupid competition on short notice?
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Like, I feel like you haven't done breakfast radio if
you haven't come up with a really stuy called. I
think the ones that comes to the top of my
head is is this an Oprah saying or a quote
from the Psycho movie? Actually a very difficult game to play.
I'll test you at some point. But I've also done
jazz band or crime syndicate. So take your pick.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Well, on a super serious sports show, Mattie, we play
what is it or Where is It from? And well,
this is my second attempt at this game.
Speaker 5 (04:25):
Are you ready? Aj yep, let's do it? Okay? Sport
one of three?
Speaker 3 (04:30):
What is it?
Speaker 5 (04:31):
Or where is it from? Where are you going? Where
is it from? Where is it from?
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (04:34):
You've gone. You've made the wrong choice. Camel jumping. Well
was it camel jumping? Camel jumping? Camel jumping? What do
you think camel jumping might be? Well, camel jumping. This
according to the website legit dot ng, So that's a
really reliable source.
Speaker 5 (04:52):
One of the oldest weird sports in the world.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
Professional camel jumpers use their speed and strength to move
over as many camels as possible. It is practiced by
the Zaranique tribe in its country of origin. We are
not sure whether it has been approved by the animal
rights group Peter or not.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
So people are jumping over the camels. So it's not
the camels that are jumping. It's not like a show jumping.
Speaker 5 (05:13):
I know.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
It's people jumping over the camels to see how many
camels you can jump over. I have a picture of
a man here who has just jumped over too.
Speaker 5 (05:19):
Well.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
I'm glad I didn't go the other one because I
would have got it wrong, because I would have said,
camel jumping is camels.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
That would have actually been quite funny. That wouldn't be
bad to watch. Actually, camel's steeplechase. AnyWho where's it from?
Speaker 5 (05:32):
Who's crazy?
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Nepal?
Speaker 5 (05:36):
Nepole?
Speaker 4 (05:37):
No, they don't have camels in Nepal, but they have
plenty of camels in Yemen. Adam Jansen is none for one?
Speaker 5 (05:43):
Okay? What is that?
Speaker 2 (05:44):
That's where Chandler pretended to go. Actually, I think he
actually went there in friends.
Speaker 5 (05:48):
Yeah, yeah, yeah? What is it? Or where is it from?
Where you going? Which one?
Speaker 2 (05:51):
We'll go? What is it this time?
Speaker 5 (05:52):
What is it? Okay?
Speaker 4 (05:53):
This is possibly one of the easiest ones you'll ever get.
Chess boxing. What is chess boxing other than a German sport?
What is chess boxing?
Speaker 2 (06:06):
How is that easy?
Speaker 5 (06:08):
Well, chess boxing.
Speaker 4 (06:09):
You think about it for just a second. Don't don't
overanalyze things, Okay, chess boxing, I don't know, you really
don't know. You alternate rounds against the clock. You have
a round of chess. Yeah, and then when the bell goes,
you get up and you try and punch the living
suitcase out of your opponent. Then the bell rings for
(06:31):
the inn around, you get down and you play chess again,
hence the name chess boxing. So it goes back and
forth because fourth between chess and boxing.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
I don't know where do they play that?
Speaker 4 (06:41):
Germany? Apparently it was. It was invented by a Dutch
performance artist. So I would have given you. I would
have given you Holland I got the idea from a
French graphic normal, so I would have given you France,
and I would have given you Germany and all. Written
in nineteen ninety two by Enky bill Al in the
book which means cold equator. I think so. The apparently
(07:03):
also has fans in India and Russia. Go figure, all right,
last one, last one?
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Okay?
Speaker 5 (07:10):
What is it?
Speaker 4 (07:11):
Or where is it from? Where is it from? Where
is it from? Congratulations? You have chosen man versus horse Marathon,
a sport that started in nineteen seventy nine to settle
a pub argument where the locals wondered who would win
a race between a man and a horse. From that time,
(07:33):
marathon race of twenty two miles has been held in
this country involving horses and men. Interestingly, the horse has
won most of the races, but men have won twice,
taking home a forty thousand dollars cash prize.
Speaker 5 (07:45):
But the more important question, Adam Jensen, is.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
Where did the man versus horse marathon originate?
Speaker 5 (07:53):
Which country? Ireland?
Speaker 4 (07:56):
You're not far geographically wrong? No, No, You've got to
go the by the Way Wales, Wales.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
I was in the right area, you were not far wrong,
you were not farro pub and I just went yeh, yeh.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
Sadly you've gone nought from three. But I do I
would like to say one of your more entertaining efforts.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
The Super Serious Sports Show.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
Maddie, do you ever have a weekend where things just
don't go your way?
Speaker 3 (08:22):
Probably? I don't know.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
I work a lot of the weekends, so you could
say that doesn't happen, But I don't know.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
I guess no. I can't think of anything off the
top of my head, though.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Imagine you have about seven or eight sporting teams that
you follow, yeah, and all seven or eight of those
sporting teams lose.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
I woke up on Saturday expecting a good weekend in
the world of sport. The Los Angeles Dodgers were playing
the Louis Cardinals, a team I despise and in fact
in the Friday game over there, having lost sixteen eight
on the Thursday game. They won the Friday game five.
No that came through early Saturday morning. I was feeling
pretty good about how my weekend was going to shape up.
The more games than that. The Brumbies were playing the
(09:02):
Western Force, who were not a great side in Super Rugby.
Spurs were playing the awful Brentford in the English Premier League.
Speaker 5 (09:09):
The Raiders were on a five game winning streak.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
The GWS Giants were looking like still need to get
back into some sort of form.
Speaker 5 (09:16):
During the course of.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
Saturday, I made my plans, I worked out where it
was going to be for various things, and wandered around
to Super Rugby time. The Brumbies had the chance to
set up a clash for top spot this week with
a win over the Western Force last week it was
second versus eighth. The Brumbies then rested players.
Speaker 5 (09:38):
How they go.
Speaker 4 (09:38):
They rested players in a game that were have guaranteed
them a top spot clash this week. They lost thirty
four nineteen. They are now third. They are a distinct
chance of dropping out of the top four and if
they make the finals, which they will, having to play
all their finals on the road as the lower seeded team.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
How many times think finals eight out of yeah, yeah,
I know it. And if you finish, if you finish
five to eight, you don't. Yeah, you're right, two play
seven three places? Yes, yeah, and this tournament, yeah, exactly so.
So that was Saturday night, early ish. Shortly after that
game was was Rolling Spurs wandered out at their magnificent
(10:21):
home stadium, their magnificent to the hot Spurs Stadium, with
some remote chance of still qualifying for the Europa League
by the way of squeezing into the top six. They
were up against Brentford, who looked Brentford with apologies to
their three fans in Australia, they suck and eight minutes
in the Bees they're the Bees, these who were red
(10:41):
and white.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
Now I know about you, right, I know you. I've
never in my life seen red and white bees. Okay,
eight minutes.
Speaker 5 (10:51):
In English Premier League.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Names confuse me so much.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
Harry Kane scored a goal which means I think he's
now scored goals against more Premier League opposition than anyone else.
He's got one. Yeah, yeah, he's got one. One Brentford score.
Spurs lost at home three to one. So, like I said,
sport gives you the chance to be uplifted, unless you're me.
Because the Brumbies bone now a team I have loved
and followed for many years, followed by Spurs, a team
(11:17):
that I have loved and despised for many many years,
both got pantsed.
Speaker 5 (11:21):
We moved round to Sunday.
Speaker 4 (11:22):
During the course of Sunday, the Saturday night Major League
Baseball game in the States was played. The Dodgers lost
six to five. Sunday afternoon, the Raiders came out off
the back of a five game winning streak against Manly,
aside I have despised and hated for thirty plus years.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
The Raiders came out, scored a try, and then went
back in. Well, yeah, they came out, scored to try
and lost forty two to fourteen. Are you seeing a
pattern here, aj? Yeah, your team suck. It gets better,
it gets better.
Speaker 4 (11:51):
I went home after that game, I sat down, I
turned on the AFL GWS had actually led at quarter
time and we're level with Sint Kilda at half time.
We're only three down at three quarter. Sign I'll watched
that game. They managed to in the last quarter kick
a grand total of one goal. One goal. Sint Kilda,
(12:13):
to their credit, to their ever loving credit, did not
bury Gws. They came out and kicked two goals seven
so they could have kicked seven or eight goals in
the last quarter. Regardless, Jedo, we has lost by twelve.
And then to rub all the salt in the world
in on Monday, the Sunday Major League Baseball game was
played in the US Monday Australian time, and the Dodgers
(12:33):
lost ten five. So that is why you should love sport,
because he just gives you the chance to be uplifted
and to have all the hope in the world completely
and utterly dashed, repeatedly, time after time, right across your weekend.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Now, Maddie, you've seen this book sitting on my desk.
I'm very proud of it.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
Are the Chris Colmen Book of Feuds?
Speaker 2 (12:49):
That's the one. Yes, So a short time ago on
this show, I added three more chapters. My chapters chapters.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Okay, that's intense.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
Three more chapters is intense but very very necessary. Here's
Chris finding out about those three new chapters for new
listeners of our show. About two months ago, I wrote
a book called Chris Coleman's Book.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
A few you plagiarized things that I've said on the radio,
compiled them and put them in a book and called yourself, Now,
these don't have.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
The things that you said. This has information about the
people that you spoke of. All right, okay, and so
you've made some new entries, have you, Yeah, yeah, so
so we you're going to end up in the books.
So adding to the state of Florida, the Carlton Football Club,
the San Francisco Giants, I deserve it, the Arston Football
Club and David Warner, he deserves it. The newest entry
(13:36):
I nearly put this in the first time. Nelson a
Soft of Solomona from the Melbourne Storm.
Speaker 5 (13:41):
He deserves it.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
A New Zealand professional rugby league footballer who plays for
the Melbourne Storm in the NRL and New Zealand at
international level. A softa Solomona won the twenty seventeen NRL
Grand Final and the twenty twenty NRL Grand Final with
Melbourne Big Nels has been penalized or charged on numerous
occasions for the use of elbows and forearms during play.
(14:03):
Is that why you're not a fan?
Speaker 4 (14:04):
Well, I'm not a fan because he hasn't been penalized
enough for it, because he still does it.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
He broke or he knocked teeth out of Wade Egan's
mouth in a game last year and nothing happens. And
that was after the one on Joseph Suliki. I think either,
I think the same season with the same move, the
one where he just drops on door.
Speaker 4 (14:25):
It's not I will say this is actually probably not
quite fair to put Nass in there because it's more
the NRL leading with the elbow tackle officiating. But anyway,
move on. You've got another one. I assume how many
have we got here?
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Well, you notice I brought a beer in?
Speaker 5 (14:42):
Oh good god? Yeah, all right.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
Remember the other night after the Raiders game, how I
offered you a beer? Yeah, and then you went to
the fridge to get yourself a beer and you had
two choices. Yeah, one of them was four x one,
one was four x gold and the other one was
Cappel Brewing summer day. Oh, you did not hesitate the
slightest and you went for the summit.
Speaker 5 (15:02):
Most right thinking people would do the same.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
Four X pronounced four X is a brand of Australian
beer brewed in Milton, Brisbane by Queensland Brewers Castlemaine Perkins,
now a division of the Japanese owned Lion. It enjoys
wide popularity in the state of Queensland, where it is
commonly found on tap in pubs and bars. Why don't
you like four X?
Speaker 5 (15:24):
I just don't like it. It's awful stuff because.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
It's not because you associate with like the Queensland striginem.
Speaker 5 (15:29):
I don't like the taste of it. It's awful. It's awful.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Next next one, I have to go to Twitter. This
is the reason we're doing this segment this week. Some
of this is not safe to read on the radio
flow rating ten out of ten. Quite surprising. Old mate
Peers manages to tweet so much twaddle because he seems
to have and I can't read the rest. That was
(15:55):
after you shared a tweet of Peers comply about the
Australian side, saying how there's never been a less deserved
retention of the ashes. Piers Morgan was an English broadcaster journalist, writer,
television personality, lover of the English cricket team and hater
of the Australian side. During the twenty twenty three Ashes series,
(16:18):
Peers has blown up to lux after the stumping dismissal
of Johnny Bearsto on the second Test and the rain
effected draw in the fourth Test which resulted in Australia
retaining the Ashes. I don't need to ask you why
you don't like Peers Morgan. I think we covered that
earlier in the program ten out of ten flog Grader.
Speaker 5 (16:37):
Flow grading ten out of ten. It's right up there.
Speaker 4 (16:39):
And in twenty thirteen when England retained the Ashes due
to a match being washed out when they were chasing
about three hundred and ten for victory, and with three.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Series where Stuart Broad nicked it to first slip.
Speaker 4 (16:52):
Good will be yeah, yeah, But at the end of
that twenty thirteen match where rain came in, who was
one of the happy tweeters of all the English millions
of people, one Piers Morgan.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
Oh, he's in the book of feuds now.
Speaker 4 (17:07):
And yeah, I'm sure he'll be thrilled to hear that too,
if he hasn't blocked me on Twitter.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Yet now, Maddie, we've all done ourselves a stupid injury
at one point in our lives. I broke a toe
tripping upstairs carrying a bowl of wheat. Bis.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
I feel like no one's got an injury that's not
stupid if you really think about it, and no one
goes out in their day planning to get injured. But
personally for me, I've walked into the boot of my
car and split my eyebrow open. That was really fun.
But my partner, he's probably got the best one. That
he was carrying towels and then clipped his pinky finger
(17:42):
on the hallway door frame and essentially the pinky finger
ripped back and shattered his entire hand and he now
has metal.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
To hold it together.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
Oh Nathan, Yeah, I love the.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
Worst stories than that that he's done.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
And between him and his father, who are very clumsy
and have stupid injuries, we could have a whole separate
podcast story show.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
Well, imagine your partner was a professional sportsman and he
had to miss a game because of said silly injuries
or said stupid injury. Here are some of the best
nineteen ninety nine State of Origin camp yep Wayne Peace
took over as the coach. He did and Tommy Rodonica.
So Tommy loved to drink and Tommy loved a drinking
(18:24):
bonding session. Wayne Peace did not. He had a great idea,
Wayne Peerce talked, took the team horse riding. That was
a great idea, great idea for everyone except for Robbi
Kerns and the great Raider Bradley Clyde. Robbi Kerns came
off his horse broken collarbone, twelve weeks, missed the entire
State of Origin series. Brad Clyde injuredy shoulder, he missed
eight weeks.
Speaker 5 (18:46):
Not good.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
No, Basically, if you're going to go on a bonding
camp for State of Origin.
Speaker 5 (18:50):
Don't go any of the horses, don't.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Do anything dangerous, don't do anything stupid. We move forward
to two thousand and one and I love this story
because of the story as Iram remember it at the time,
was that remember Tim Brasher that played for the Balmain
Tigers and South Sydney rabbit Os and the Cowboys, and
he played for and he played for Australia and New
South Wales. The story was at the time that he
(19:13):
injured himself slipping off a chair at home basically cleaning
a fan. Apparently that's not actually what happened.
Speaker 5 (19:23):
What happened.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
It has since been discovered that the injury was the
result of an accident that occurred during a trail biking
adventure with former Cowboys half back Nathan Feen. No one
knows why the Cowboys decided to try and cover it
up one stupid injury with another make believe stupid injury.
But he wouldn't have been the first NRL player to
injury his knee at home had that been what happened.
(19:45):
David Kidwell, while it was, the South Sydney captain injured
his knee out for the season tripping over one of
his kids at home. Yeah, it happens. It happens in
the AFL. Brad Johnson, Western Bulldog's captain got injured. Wh
and he got hit by a golf cart out on
the training thing. It happens, and it basically it fastened
the end of his career.
Speaker 5 (20:06):
Did it? Did it? Did?
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Jack Whiton Raiders player twenty twelve missed the majority of
the season after injuring his toe backyard trampoline. Do you
remember that?
Speaker 1 (20:21):
So?
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Pearl Jack White? And he missed most of the season
was his debut year. He came back at the end
of the year, but he played one game, one game
in the finals before we were turfed out, and the
final one I'm going to go to From an Australian standpoint,
I don't think it was here. I think it was
actually overseas. Brad Hadden.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
Thee.
Speaker 5 (20:38):
This one's famous. You can't go around with the high five's.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
Willy nilly, willy nilly. James Faulkner poked him in the eye. Actually,
a little quick story though about Brad Hadden. Brad Hadden
nearly stuff at an injury at this radio station. So
really going to our football when you go into our
voiceover booth here down in production, the little room next
to yours set room, there's a little step that goes
down into it. Brad came into to voice and ad
for a charity, being the incredibly kind man and big
(21:01):
greater support of the Brad Hat did you know the
step was there? He tripped on the step and he
nearly cleaned up his head on the stand that was
in there. So Brad haddn't nearly suffered a double injury
in the voice of booth. He was in the Australian
team at the time. Could you imagine how he injured
his knee or Injuredy's head or something like that.
Speaker 5 (21:19):
That's really simple. You can't go around recording charity commercials.
Willy nilly.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
Well, I'm not entirely sure i'd have a job so anyway,
So when former brumby David Pocock was in the building
the other day, I was like, David.
Speaker 5 (21:27):
Please watch your step. Good plan.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
Thank you Maddie. This has been our second ever hits
and misses, our second ever best and worst of the
Super Serious Sports Show. Just something to look out for
on our feed. We'll have an interview with Raiders NRLW
player Sophie Holloman. That'll be up on the feed tomorrow.
We've had Sophie on the show previously. She's a great
chat so look out for that one. And Chris, if
(21:52):
you're listening, which I know you will because you love
listening back to yourself, I will catch you back in
studio next week for another edition of The Super Serious
Sports Show. Thank you you, Maddie, You're welcome.
