Speaker 2 (00:16):
Laura, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
If you've seen this, but I love to go down
a rabbit hole, and I have gone down this rabbit hole.
There is a huge scandal that is rocking the sporting
world right now.
Speaker 4 (00:25):
So I into your sports, Britt.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
I am into my sports, and I'm into like doping
scandals and cheating, Like I love to know who's cheating
in what sports and how are they doing it? You know,
you hear about it all the time. Well, there's a
big cheating scandal in a current world championships. Now, this
is the World rock Skimming Championship.
Speaker 4 (00:44):
No, this is not a real sport.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
It also it kind of reminds me what we talked
about last week with the Guinness World Record the woman
set for running over lego.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Okay, so I did not know that this was a thing,
but it is.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Two two hundred people from twenty seven countries have gone
to this tiny island off of Scotland for this competition.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Is it because the water is particularly flat there?
Speaker 3 (01:05):
Like?
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Is it perfect water tension for rocksimming? Is there a
reason why they would go there to that destination.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
I didn't go that deep, but deep live in Scotland
and it does have a lot of flat bays and stuff.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
So that could be perfect conditions.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
Now one thing I didn't know so almost I'm a
skimmer by trade. I like to skim when I'm at
the beach. So this competition has courses and stuff. You
don't just skim in a street line. I want you
to just have a listen, let someone else explain it.
That is so deep in this world. There's a little
circuit of competitions and it's basically a group of people
coming together to skim stones across different bodies of water.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
I guess it's a bit like F one in terms
of different courses. It's not implements because each competition has
got its own set of rules. It's a bit like
the F one.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Did she just relate skimming rocks in a lake to
the F one? Also, this is for me, This is
just such clear proof that because of the Internet, you
can find your people in anything like it doesn't matter
what you believe in, there will be a community somewhere
that you will be able to find.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Well, so what is happening? I know what you're thinking.
Speaker 4 (02:07):
How on earth know what I'm thinking right now, Britain,
How on.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Earth did they cheat?
Speaker 3 (02:11):
They're not doping, but there are some rules, right, and
the rules are that you have to as a contestant,
you turn up and you have to find naturally occurring
stones and they also need to be like a certain size.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
They can't be too big, and they have to fit
into this little circle. And there's all these rules.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
But the event organizer, doctor Kyle Matthews, who you know
within the industry is known as the toss Master. He
said that they heard some rumors and murmurings of nefarious deeds.
Speaker 5 (02:37):
To this, unfortunately by very small number of competitors. They
had used some machinery to smooth the outside edge of
their stone and make it exactly perfectly round to fit
through our measurer, which is called the Ring of Truth.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Wow, I feel like we've turned into a true crime
radio show. I'm so glad we got to the bottom
of this one.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
So what's happening is there were people were like rounding
their edges and I think I read that they were
even like putting little holes that helps with aeration into
the stone.
Speaker 4 (03:07):
Bride, did you come across this story? Was this all you?
Speaker 2 (03:09):
I entered the competition.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
What are we talking about?
Speaker 2 (03:14):
I moved to Scotland because I wanted to do the
champions I have.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
They're like smuggling them in their pockets and then they
were like whipping them out and that's how they're winning.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
It just shows like people will cheat at anything, Like
people will cheat at literally.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
Anything to be a winner. Oh yeah, I've cheated.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
I mean nothing is insignificant as a rocks giving competition.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
I okay, I feel bad saying.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
The story, not because I feel bad for the cheating,
but because the cheating actually.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
Didn't do anything. I didn't actually use what I took
in to cheat with.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
So when I know, I cheated in my HC, which
is actually radio, which is actually perfectly time because it's
the HC in like two and a half weeks for
kids out there.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
So back in the day, I don't know how it works.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Now, it's probably very different because everyone's got iPads and
laptops and whatnot. But we got to bring in blank
paper so you could bring in like your sheets that
you could do your workbooks on them and stuff, right,
but it just had to be blank paper or Linedaya,
and I'm really bad at Mass, great at English, terrible
at Mass, could never remember equations.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
Great at cheating, really good at cheating at masks. So
I would yet.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
To remember all the different equations like x over this equals.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
Blah blah blah, algebra.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
The formulas, I can't even remember the word for them.
The night before I was writing them out and writing
them out and writing them out, and then I realized
when I threw away the top paper, they were all
scored into the paper underneath that you could sit in
a certain angle, you could see the formula scored into
the clean piece of paper. And I was like, I
might just take that in with me, and I did.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Happened so organically you thought. I was like, it literally
fell into my lap and didn't even know.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
And I took it in and I still felt so
So I didn't fail, but I didn't do well at Mass.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
It was, yeah, I know I.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Was never going to get into any doing any sciences
at UNI.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
Don't worry by any kids listening that are going into
the HC.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Absolutely do not do that. We did not endorse you.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
But if you do want to mechanically grind down your stones,
go for gold I don't think anyone's going to care anyway.
