Speaker 1 (00:00):
Christ Yeah, welcome friends to the Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
So I saw yesterday there was the big welcome home
for Team Australia in Sydney and the big sort of
aircraft hanger. Is that what you do every four years
you bring them back to a beautiful aircraft nose. No
house available to higher these record athletes and aircraft hangers
somebody where the hostages when they're exchanged, get the aircraft hanger.
(00:31):
You've done all that, You've got to go a for
your country, Get flip an aircraft hanger.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
And then we're doing the proper one later in September
when they come to I think Melbourne is hosting. Yeah,
I think all around the company.
Speaker 4 (00:41):
So does anyone know why is it September? Why? Why
is Melbourne waiting? Exactly?
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Then we've got to be fair stand over their Olympics.
We've got two rounds of last rounds, four finals of AFL,
which is a global megasport.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
It is a great question because the Olympics is hot
right now, right.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Now, it's paid day by this weekend.
Speaker 4 (01:01):
If you're on a pub quizz and they go who's
rey gun, you're.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Going to go something that happened a couple of years ago.
Speaker 4 (01:08):
I sandy fades real quickly.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
They've got to get rid of the scooters out of
the way so people don't trip over them in the city.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
What are they banning the scooters? What banning banning? Well,
there's no more of them.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
No more they have they have thirty days to remove them.
The companies who put them.
Speaker 4 (01:23):
There, Why are they going to end up? Not like
the bikes?
Speaker 3 (01:25):
And they are they getting rid of them Melbourne wide
or is it just in the c just in the CBD.
Speaker 4 (01:33):
So push them out to the sea. You can still
have a private scooter, but you can't hire them.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Some people do go way too quick along the streets
with them and stuff like that. The thing that annoys
me is when I see someone pats and eyes age
booting along some of that on the road, like hurting
on They just seem so dangerous. So Riha, what can
you tell us about the new games that have been
added to LA in four years time?
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Well, I just saw America has done a very American
things for the new Olympics.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
These are some of the sports they've added.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Flag American football means like it's like not tackle, like
you just rip a little tag.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
Version you play at school. It's like ahind and seek.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
And also American football is no other nation is playing that.
It's in the name. So I don't know who's possibly
going to challenge America.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Everyone around the world now was going to recruit some
people and get them over from rugby or something.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
I don't know, because no one else has that code.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
No and no one, I mean, no one even plays
American football flag American football, So I don't know.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
Why that even, like, how would that even that's an
automatic gold medal.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
Yeah, they're trying to call those goals back, aren't they.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
Yes, exactly from China.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Then they've got baseball again, that's all right, more America
and Japan. Yeah, and then lacrosse, which is like another
sport that they play all through high school. And I
don't know any other country that plays lacrosse. The only
place you see lacrosse is in the teen move.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Yeah, and the US are.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Playing its lacrosse, the one with the stick and the
sort of nets the little hook yeah yeah, a bit
like hurling.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
Yeah, that's it. Yeah yeah yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Which we don't all know so well, but how did
this get through?
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Like well, I think the host nation is allowed to
have a couple of sports that they.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
Spence were worldwide used in other countries that are actually competing.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Paris did break Dancer was one of them and we
know how that ended. Word ray gum ain't. That isn't
troubling any future games ever again.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
But that is equivalent to Sydney having done AFL in
the year two thousand, which literally know other play.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
Exactly, So Brisbane when you get in twenty thirty.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
Two, guarantee that it work for yourself.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Yeah, Marathon Pokey's you know is twenty four hours on
the Pokey. We only played the only code played in
this country, Pokys Goomberg drinking. We need to stack it.
Wait in Australia's advantage. In fact, what do you think
what should be?
Speaker 3 (04:07):
Should we have a Brisbane.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Guarantee gold okay that is played only here in Australia.
I think only Australians would become good at it.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
Shoeies sh shoey, yes, instead of it.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Has to be the artistic shoey, so it's gymnastics but
with shoeies.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Instead of breaking and replace that with the Nutbush because you're.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
Right, Team Nutbush. I watched that the Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
So when Australia hosts the Olympics twenty thirty two in Brisbane,
Australia would be allowed to have a couple of demonstration events.
Normally this is an amazing opportunity as America now showing
is to pick sports that only your fellow countrymen and
women are guaranteed or shoeing to get gold. So Australia
should carry on that fine tradition and just create any
(04:54):
any event basically that you're guaranteed as Australian to be
advantaged to get a gold at the moment on the tanks,
thong throwing instead of the discus. Now it's gonna be
chicken palmer, bungee smugglers, hurdles of fly swatser grain Lacrosse
is the national sport of Canada. Therefore we sh are
bringing coffee making. You're right, Baristas.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
A kid of my high school competed internationally in some
kind of Barista World Barista Championships.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
I think that for the last couple of years it's
been in Australia who's actually won the World Barista Games.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Australian rules football actually has made an appearance at the
Olympics in nineteen.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
Fifty six was at the Melbourne One.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
That was Melbourne not to compete for medals, so other
countries when competing, but Australia put on a demonstration match
to show the world during the Olympics what AFL was.
It was immediately after the It was at the MCG
thirty thousand people immediately after the bronze medal soccer match
between Bulgaria and India concluded. Wow, they played.
Speaker 4 (05:59):
That's what you call in TV. Are tough lead in
They had an already people.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Are barely awake after that snooze fest by the sound
of it.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
They had a running commentary amplified to the audience to
explain what was going on that this is the best part.
Players had to deal with various hazards on the ground
left over from previous events, chiefly the Olympic flag pole.
The fifty foot structure was left standing to the conclusion
of the closing ceremony and sat awkwardly in the forward pocket.
(06:30):
The plinth installed for the inside lane of the running
track also posts problems for footballers who are at risk
of tripping on it if they did not identify the
sharp rise in height of the surface.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
You know what, I get the fee brism based on
the facilities that you're going to see a lot of hazards.
I think obviously maybe the Cinti man E scooters you
could add them into the Venodrome to be honest, and
the Karen any of their ideas for events that Australia
could win gold at.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
Well Christian Connell's show podcast.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Christian, what about the twenty meters sprint wearing thongs? They
must stay on this is the thong race.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
We have we come back to do this.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
It's a good way to showcase to Brisbane. What a
glorious event this could be. Maybe for the opening ceremony,
start with your best stuff. I stay Christian, what about
Brisbane needs magpie dodging can be an artistic routine. Sprint
races against them? Hard to organize that, Christian beer sculling,
the last person standing winds Vegelmie eating sandwiches. That's from
(07:31):
Steve Morning, Steve a Bogan beer race. Keith, Well, we
did the beer race. Definitely should do that as an event.
And for Brisbane, what about the one hundred meters done
in crocs. That's a nice idea as well Colleen, good morning.

Speaker 1 (08:37):
So let's go with.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
Kangaroo Dodge, a kid in a dodge and pothole dodge.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
Oh, roadkill, roadkill dodge.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
I mean, look, it's going to be controversial with livestock
being used, but maybe they're dying naturally anyway, and there's
something to do before they shake off their mortal coil.
But yeah, and also at the Live Animal Apartment we
talked about hazards, but the pothole dodging, Yeah, give her
the state the roads is a very good idea, Colleen at.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
The moment, Yes, definitely between Rocky and Glass and Bruce Highway.
Bruce Highway, just put them on it in a car
and they've got to dodge every pothole about you any
money I can win that one, gotcha?
