Speaker 1 (00:05):
Oh, dear listeners, if I could paint a picture for
you what I'm sitting opposite, It's a sad, sad picture
of a woman wearing a puffer with some sunglasses on inside,
clutching to her chest some very cheap looking facial tissues.
Georgie Toney, Welcome to two Good Sports. It's sports news
(00:26):
told differently. How are you? This is the.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Adele.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
You should know that, no amount accounting, it's going to
take back the eighty minutes of football that I just
had to stand with, stand and survive. Dear listener, I'm
not proud of who I am today, but it's me.
This is what losing does to me. This is what
(01:00):
indus to Queensland. This is why Queensland fans I'm more
passionate than New Southwest fans. Nathan Cleary, you put a
hex on him, Nathan Cleary, not a good fucking one.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
I'll be bringing it up with my new best friend,
Kaylen Pongker. Where was the Where was the hex? Where
was the hex?
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Where the heck was the heck?
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Where the heck's was the heck was the hex?
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Kaylen? And no, are you genuinely okay? That was quite dramatic.
Is that's the most dramatic injury that we've ever done
on the podcast. But of course, guys, welcome to our
Ramble episode and.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
Take the glasses off, because that's actually not prescription. I
can see, and it's just made it too dark in.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Here, okay, but it is dark inside your heart. We
are going to get into our main discussion, which was
Georgie's absolute heartbreak in the fact that New South Wales
decided to do what quite literally no one expected them
to do, probably including Laurie Daily and put on a
clinic in the origin decider at so yeah, to silence
(02:01):
what is the single most parochial cloud crowd in Australian sport.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Yes, yep, and they did that full success. I never
heard the crowd. The Queensland a chant went up m
No four times and.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Just because you were smashed from them.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Exactly exactly, that's what I mean.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
They completely took the crowd out of the game. New
South Wales, they came out, they had us off balance.
We were never settled. We made so many mistakes.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Laurie Dayly, who was slammed for his selection decisions as well.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
I know I feel that people do deserve like he
is owed an apology from a lot of people. A
lot of people can I also just say, and I
mean this, you know, with disrespect, But New South Wales why.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
It takes me, you know, well done, well done, well done.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
Why you grind my gears, you fans, is because the
way that you treat your players sometimes. I mean, look
on this podcast, I'm very vocal about Nathan Cleary was
put on this earth to troll me. But that's always
said with because how good he is, Yes, like I
will rate him as a future immortal.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
I know how dangerous he is.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Sorry he must be now.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
He has Yeah, he's on his way right.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
The only black mark that everyone would always say was
he's never ay good at Origin and I'd be like, Okay,
what are you talking about.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
It's Nathan Cleary.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
Despite him not having the series wins, he's still been
a part of some incredible Blues teams and has single
handedly led the Blues to those few wins throughout his career.
So for him to come out last night in the
fifteenth minute and score, I want to say I'm surprised.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
I'm not.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
I'm not because as soon as you do criticize a
champion like that he's gonna hit back, He's going.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
To hit back, and he was unbelievable. He was unbelievable.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
The whole New South Wales team where they completely took
the Queensland forwards out of it. I don't think I
remember seeing Tino Farssel Malawi until part way through the
second half and I was like, where are our forwards?
Max Plath was tackling his little hard out. But I
think Patti Carraghan, our best friend, I think he was
in jed and I never saw him again.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Patti Karragan, who you got to say geopolitically in your
interview which I just want, ah, one of yours, not
only a Broncos captain, but one of yours. Before we
get into our main chat, let's do good sport, bad sport.
If you got a good sport, Oh no, do you
know what I do have a really good sport.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
And I'm going to show you the video. I don't
know if you've seen it, but I think that it
will make you cry. This is a shout out to
a surprising best friend of mine, Travis Kelsey, on this podcast,
whose typical I know you don't know where I'm going
whose typical celebration is the Archer right like that's been
his football celebration. Now it is currently Jai July for
(04:50):
Gi Arrow. So everyone who scores a try across the NRL,
if they do, they often will do the Arrow celebration.
So I'm calling on Killer trav to have look to
his fellow athletes and hopefully we can get the word
out he sees this. I know he's on his honeymoon
right now. I don't care, but if he could do
something for Ji July and fire MND, amazing. But I
just wanted to show you this video because this is
(05:11):
the ultimate good sport. There were two try celebrations last night.
I think from memory that the Arrow celebration was done.
Maybe it was three, including Hudson Young who scored that
last minute horrific From a Queenslander's perspective.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Try four New South Wales in Ode to Ji.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
Just to show that this is bigger than bigger than sport,
bigger than state versus state, mate against mate, and I
just wanted to.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Show you this video of why sport matters.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
Hope UT of the Rugby Union lit all black semple
in there, super leagues in there.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
I mean Traveth Kelski rude. Oh no. And you know
what the nice thing is, it's every team right.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Every team, every team, every team, every code.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
They're doing the giant Arrow celebration of launching an arrow
into the sky if they score a try. The junior
clubs are doing it, the Wall of Ees are doing it,
the All Blacks are doing it.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
I want Killer Trap.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
To do it a better celebration for my good sport.
Sophie Molinie, friend of the Pod, going full Shane Warn unbelievable. Yes,
the little team and by little team, I mean the
greatest and most successful team in Australian sporting history doing
what they do. It has been near on impossible for
(06:36):
our girls. At my girls, your girls, they are to
get cut through because I don't know, the ICC scheduled
the Women's World Cup in London at the same time
as the World Cup, with the World Cup final happening
(06:57):
at midnight our time. Good luck, yeah, good luck. And
the thing is everyone was going Australia mad at World
Cup and I'm like, yeah, politely, we're not gonna win
that one. We're not gonna We're not gonna win that one.
Do you know what We're gonna win this one over here,
this one over here with our fearless leader who dressed
up as Kath and Kim during the week, which was
(07:17):
the greatest footage I've ever seen.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
And friend of the pod, Friend of the pod, so
fall on you.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Yeah who there not only did the full wicket overhead celebration,
but then did the beer on.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Head, beer on head, beer on head.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Yeah, she's a big ol big but my god, they
were flawless. Didn't drop, did not drop a single game? Really,
Denise Perry playing like he's twelve after I gave a
ship with being thirty five? Can we address that the
woman was dominating with bat and ball?
Speaker 3 (07:45):
Can we address that they came on this podcast after
missing some silverware most recently, as soon as they come
on this podcast, they win.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Thank you, thank you. So you're saying I am the
minors touched because your right. I just feel like it is,
and so much so that Darcy Brown came out during
the tournament and said, Hey, Australian mainstream media any danger.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Yeah, it's actually it has been, as someone who works
in news, reads the news for a living, yeah, it's
been almost impossible to find it to see it anywhere
because and don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that
the World Cup football coverage should be dampened down. We're
going to get to that in a second ourselves, because
(08:32):
I'm loving all of that. I'm saying, why can't we
have both.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
When the player of the match is arguably our greatest
ever athlete? Yes, yeah, you want to talk about football.
She's an ex Matilda who scored at a World Cup.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
I'm sorry, Yeah, unbelievable, unbelievable performance from the Australian cricket team.
World champions, world champions. Currently a secret world champion, but
secret world champions. Make it everyone know, make it known,
Let everybody know that they did it again. I think
there's this expectation right that they're just going to win everything.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
But which they hadn't been, which we haven't been.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
We haven't been, So that's why this is actually like
especially and we know also like this.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Is Meg Lanning, yes, Noah, Lisa Healy. This is this
team that like, you know, when we look at our
men's team, it's like, but who's the next generation With
women's it's like who's because there's so many Yeah yep, sorry,
I keep banging the table and I know it's not
good for audio, but I feel very strongly about this.
I love them, Yes, I love them, and I love
Sophmal than you and she has had. There was criticism
(09:35):
when she was appointed, basically going this is a popularity vote. Well,
well do you want? I like winning? Yeah? Makes it
popular winning? What's it feel like?
Speaker 2 (09:44):
I wouldn't know, wouldn't know, queens lamb wouldn't know. Joking.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
Look, look in all seriousness, just to tie up our
good sport bad sport. I understand that. You know, I
take big swings. I'm very passionate, very vocal about my
love for certain teams. So when it doesn't work out,
I will take the hits and I will be a
good sport about it potentially. But no, New South Wales
did deserve this. They deserve the victory. Well done to them.
(10:09):
I always it was. It was not game one where
you're like, come on, they deserve it was. Yes, it
was a real clinic, yes, yes, yes.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Yes, yes, yes.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
Harry Grant said it best. We saved our worst to
last for Queensland. But New South Wales completely controlled that game.
Nathan Cleary was a huge part of that and they
were just far, far more disciplined than us. Hudson Young
had an unbelievable game as well, and Laurie Daily maybe
maybe he'll be there next year. He'll be there next year,
(10:41):
and then Ivan Cleary comes in. But before that, before
that loss, you get one more one more season, I reckon.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
And before that our main chat.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
Now, Jeremy, I know that I slightly uprooted things by
going over to the other side of the world during
one of the busiest sporting times of the world, which
is the World Cup, But it would be remiss of
us not to just kind of catch up between ourselves
and with our listeners about points of interest that we've
(11:22):
loved so far with the tournament.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Mine can really.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
Be summed up by two words, which just so happened
to be a name.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Early, Oh Harlan.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
I'm obsessed.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
I am beyond obsessed. Now it's a joke what this.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
Man can do his goal against Brazil to knock them
out with an insane kick from a standing start which
flew ad one hundred and twenty kill me as an
hour into the are you job?
Speaker 1 (11:59):
I know?
Speaker 3 (12:00):
I know he's a freak. I knew he was a freak.
I understand it's well established. He's paid like ninety billion
dollars a second.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
I get. What I'm saying is he should be paid more.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Undus undus. I think he scored his first World Cup
goal with his fourth touch in this tournament, him leading
the Norway Viking Chad. Let's get he had a w
before it started with how immaculate he looked dressed as
a Viking.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Yes, that photo shoot, that photo shoot.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
There has even been ai going around where he's scared
of himself, which is my favorite, which is hilarious, but
it is when the best stars in the world are
all in the one place. He is shining the brightest.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
He's shining the brightest.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
He's equal on goals, right with Embarbe and also fucking
mess shouldn't I swear.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
Also messy in Barbe France look untouchable.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
Yeah, I still think that they're not getting.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
Out of a counter. My favorite thing has been the
fact that Erling Harland has decided to bring half a
million dollars worth of handbags. I'm obsessed the amez that
I'm sure he doesn't have to buy with his six
hundred thousand dollars a minute that he earns or whatever
it is when you break down his contract. But the
amez in the omez, oh really, it just tickles me.
(13:19):
That's he's immaculate.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
And who's your audience for that earling us?
Speaker 1 (13:23):
It's us might give me the customer with the painting.
I don't care your ah.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Love the Soccreus, Love the way they went about.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
It, Love the way they went about it.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Love the general optimism that I think we can have
about the Soccerus going forward. I think coming into this
World Cup we needed a little bit to full back
in love with the Soccreus and have we did a
household name nessrii erin Kunda with someone who was so
well known by those that love football in this country.
But I think he's just gone to a new level.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Agreed.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
I think the excitement around what we can perhaps look
forward to with how we fielded one of the youngest teams.
We didn't have the youngest score, but we filled one
of the youngest teams in the World Cup.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
Yes, I think fal Pardo the experiment foral Parto, I
think I think it paid off. He was always in everything.
I was like he repaid Poppa's selection of him.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
Patrick Beach oh oh, they renamed Saint Kilda Beach, Patrick Beach.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
That is disrespectful to him because you know my thoughts
on Saint Kilda Beach Beach pitch.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
Fridy and on Sant Kilda Beach said with love.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
But I tell you what, for someone whose job is beach,
well fuck it, well done.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
I was obsessed with him. He did oh, I loved
him went.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
And to be fair, when Matt Ryan was subbed off
just before the subbed on with those penalties, I was
like no, and I know why, but I was really
looking forward to Beach doing it.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
And do you know what, I'd never want to be
a coach of a national team because Poppa, like you know,
especially for the team sheet against Turkyo, makes all these
changes and everyone's like what are you doing? And then
we win by two nail and we go You're a genius.
And then the next team sheet comes out like again
what are you doing? And then because we lose. And
the one thing I will say is we only scored
(15:05):
two goals for the whole tournament, which did come in
that game against Tokyo. Yes we did get one against Egypt,
but that was an own goal. There was not a
blade of grass on that field that Egypt didn't want
to roll around on.
Speaker 4 (15:18):
And I will.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Highlight further if women carried on like that when we
got injured, people would not accept this shit.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
No, it was unwatchable a lot of I've found a
lot of moments throughout some of these seating, nauseating, unwatchable. Yes,
because I just scream I might get up. And not
to compare the pair, however, Rugby League, their arms are
hanging off and they're fighting to get back in there,
(15:47):
and I'm like, sir, you must sit down here.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
It's like a stud grazers and.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
Pinky toe and they're like, well, where's the air ambulance?
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Would I do that? Yes?
Speaker 3 (15:59):
I will.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
I get that, it's part of it, but it's it's
more the I don't know. We were four am where
they're watching with the kids, and I literally turned to
Kate and I'd be like, I'd find it really hard
to copy you doing that, like as it is in
like get get up.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
I was watching up.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
I was watching Mexico England with Robert and in the
dying stages of that match, there was a Mexican player
who did stay down and Robert was like filthy because
he'd had enough of everyone rolling around and he was
yelling at him, being like.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Get god.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
Next minute, there's like seven medical staff around him with
a stretcher, and I was like, he actually might be interesting.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
But they come out, they come out with stretchers because
of the theatrics. Yeah, and then they get up and
they shake it off.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Just need that magic spray. You fine, You're fine.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
To quote the incredible documentary that is She's the man,
rub some dirt in it and get out there.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Come on, come on, I am with you. In terms
of I think that the soccer us.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
While I was disappointed that they didn't make it through
to the round of sixteen, I knew that we weren't
going to as soon as it went to Penn's and
Harry Suit justlysguided. I was like, that's not good. That
is absolutely not good. It is not the teenager's fault.
But in any way, shape we love.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
We love him.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
SODA's Latin, so that's really for him.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Sorry, I love Slaton if anyone missed this. Basically afterwards,
Latan Ibrahiovich's a man who references himself as God, came
out in commentary and was like, you listen to me,
young man. You're the best, forget the rest. You want, Latian,
you give me a call and it's just immaculate, so good,
And it's just that idea that we have. It's the
(17:41):
gout gout of it all in that sometimes as Australians
we think when we've got a prodigious talent that we're
getting ahead of ourselves. With the amount of attention that
this kid's getting at eighteen and how many days from
World Sport, the thirty million dollar transfer fees that we
know that these MLS club are going No, thank you,
he's worth more than that. We're not getting ahead of ourselves.
(18:03):
This kid's an actual talent and a star that we're
going to see on the big stage. And I think
the soccers have just been missing that piece yet a while.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Yes, Yes, I'm I'm I'm boyed.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
I'm boyed by our performance we showed I think throughout
every match.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
That we've got an Asian Cup coming up.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
Ah huh, yes, and we have. This was such a
defensive effort right and that was how our play was
defense and Poppa they adhered to that. Now we just
have to we need new team, Tim Cahill, because unfortunately
we need we need goals.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
You do need goals if you're going to win match.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
That's the thing you do need, like an offensive threat.
And there are a lot of questions about whether or
not we need to say Motore as well as Nastrian Kunda,
as well as like val Pado all at once. But
we never really saw ch I wouldn't mind, ye, but
sometimes they say if you play all the stars at once,
it just doesn't quite work. We all become experts all
of a sudden, like.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
We know, do you know what I do know?
Speaker 3 (18:57):
Look, I don't know if he wants to make a
move into politics, but able.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
Oh my god, I love this man.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
For the love of God, considerate.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
I know you're busy right now with your professional football career.
But for anyone who doesn't know, dear listener, this is
a soccer Ruse player who first went viral ahead of
the tournament when he got star struck by getting a
question from one of his favorite journos and broadcasters from
the SBS, and he was like, oh my god, sorry
(19:28):
are you David? And it was just absolute heaven. Upon
returning to Australia after our sad demise in the World
Cup and talking about you know, what what went wrong,
how we're feeling, what the culture of the soccer ruse is,
what culture and football is, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
Fielding all of these questions, Ambil says.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
This would.
Speaker 4 (19:55):
I just I can swear is this all bullshit? When
when some to try to divide, you know, people based
on certain things, based on because you don't pick where
you're born, you don't pick the color of your skin.
You pick to be a good human being. Yes, that's
a choice. So some people they choose to go against
(20:16):
being good, then that's their own problem. Then they're missing
out on what others can bring. And that's what multicultural does.
It brings other flavor to the table instead of just
one thing. So that's how I see it, and that's
how the group sees it. Also, it's many journeys with
one jersey. That's what we say. That's how slogan in
the camp. It didn't really destruct us because we know
(20:38):
we know what we represent. We represent Australia are the
biggest stage and Australia, as I said the other day,
you know it's the best country in the world. And
so Cruise is the best representation of that and if
anybody is trying to divide that, then they're probably not
Australian themselves in a sense.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
Respectfully, many jerseys with on journey, No, many journeys with
my jersey.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
Oh God, we love him, we love we love him.
He also spoke during Refugee Week after the Turkey AO win,
just saying, you know, I think given the amount of
turbulence going on in Australia at the moment, it's really
important that people here. You know. He was open about
his own stories, saying, my family fled a war torn
(21:23):
country and we're given opportunities in Australia.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
But it's it's people. It's people like him.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
It's people like mobile, players like him that are going
to build that next well, the culture around the soccer Ruse,
but also the fandom around this right because everyone's favorite
team is the Matilda's.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
That's you know, I wish this man, but very well.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
This man, but this is this is for the soccer
rus It's like highlight him, this is this, put him
on the platform like he is who people will follow.
We want to see him do well, we want to
see this team do well. I think that overall, it's
a past mark for a for a World Cup for US.
Also when you think about it, to keep the politics
(22:05):
of it all, Sally, we just don't have the geopolitical
situation right now.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
We can call FIFA and be like, yo.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
I don't I've left I've deliberately left Trump out of this.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
I'll bring him in because that was one of the
wildest things ever, one of the wildest things I've ever seen.
I've ever seen luckily, I mean, you know, Team USA
unfortunately for them now, but this is this is the narrative,
right is that it's like, oh, you had to get
your dad to call your teacher to let you like,
you know, play or whatever. And they had up until
(22:37):
that point had an exceptional tournament I know, you know,
and now I will ever can talk about is that
red card being overturned, which is unprecedented but Belgium absolutely
to all.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
My favorite thing is if you watch the press conference,
Trump both goes from you know, sports, I know sports,
I was very good at sports, to being like he
got a card. I didn't know what that meant. Favorite
in the same anyway, we love the States, we'd like
to travel, the travel.

Sinner in that jacket?

I brought it up last week on this Yes, Oh

to in the double backhand. He just mahmah love.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
He does look absolutely unbelievable. You know, do you know?
Fun fact again?
Speaker 3 (24:08):
Who's just proving themselves to be one of my favorite
players of all time and one of ours?
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Arenas at Blenka.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
Ah, I want to forget about tennis for a while.
I'm going to get blind drunk.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
I'm going to get blind.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
Is a direct quote from her postmatch, which is like
honestly tennis, and because she got asked by one of
the reporters off the top being like, you know, you're
world number one, do you feel like world number one?
If you don't, how do you need to get back
to where you are? And she goes, oh my god,
this question. Okay, I'm going to get blind drunk. Does
anyone essentially want to join me? And it is She's amazing.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
She's amazing, She's one of those other journals in that
In that same presser said, you know, commiserations on the loss,
and she goes.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
Did did you say congratulations?
Speaker 2 (24:59):
And he said, no commiseration.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
She said, oh, we need to get her. We need
to get the os Open. It has to happen.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
It is one of ours.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
Yes, and I'm sad she's not going to win Wimbledon,
but hey, it's okay, Arena, it's gonna be right.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
It's gonna be a right nors like the women's straw
has just been obliterated. IgA swan Tek's out again.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
Yeah, once again, it's no one.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
The sereenas like, I shall have a crack.
Speaker 3 (25:22):
Bully in coach, pull me in who's still in it
in the Sinner's still there?
Speaker 1 (25:26):
Yeah yeah, okay, with his immaculate Gucci. Yeah, that coat,
The coat's so good.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
The code is unbelievable. The code is unbelievable.
Speaker 3 (25:34):
I've got just a little bit of an extra fun
fact here for everyone playing at home and for you
jell me, because I think it is pertinent for us
to introduce everyone to our new favorite Australian athlete that's
not a woemobile. His name is half to Strinsos and
he won the Gold Coast Marathon in a time off.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
Two hours six minutes. Yeah yeah.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
Can I just say that if if he took off
at the same time that you press play on the
incredible movie Titanic, there is a chance that that boat
hasn't even hit the iceberg before he finishes. That's how
fast he's moving.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
He ran forty two kilometers.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
Two hours and six minutes. Two hours and six minutes.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
That has that's the Australian record. It's it's it's it's.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
It's it's it is. Actually I think it is a record.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
It is.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
It is un believable historic win. Yeah mate.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
It was also the first Australian to win that event
in twenty years and he finished a minute ahead of second.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Have to people who run forty two k's for a
loll yeah, strange and strange, strange. No, there's no dinosaurs anymore, guys,
they're not. There's nothing.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
Who's chasing you?
Speaker 1 (26:56):
The sharks we discussed with Lane Beachley are in the water.
There's what's what? Demons? Are you trying to exercise by
running forty two k's in two minutes? We need to
have him on and be like, are you well? Are
you well?
Speaker 2 (27:09):
Do you know what this is giving?
Speaker 3 (27:10):
When Luke Bateman told me that I didn't need to
go and dance with the stars to get fit.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
Yeah, jeez, another fun fact, fun fact, love you love
this it. Please just check on your myro own friends
this week because they're having a rough time. But until
next week, damn your cleary
Oh, dear listeners, if I could paint a picture for
you what I'm sitting opposite, It's a sad, sad picture
of a woman wearing a puffer with some sunglasses on inside,
clutching to her chest some very cheap looking facial tissues.
Georgie Toney, Welcome to two Good Sports. It's sports news
(00:26):
told differently. How are you? This is the.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Adele.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
You should know that, no amount accounting, it's going to
take back the eighty minutes of football that I just
had to stand with, stand and survive. Dear listener, I'm
not proud of who I am today, but it's me.
This is what losing does to me. This is what
(01:00):
indus to Queensland. This is why Queensland fans I'm more
passionate than New Southwest fans. Nathan Cleary, you put a
hex on him, Nathan Cleary, not a good fucking one.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
I'll be bringing it up with my new best friend,
Kaylen Pongker. Where was the Where was the hex? Where
was the hex?
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Where the heck was the heck?
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Where the heck's was the heck was the hex?
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Kaylen? And no, are you genuinely okay? That was quite dramatic.
Is that's the most dramatic injury that we've ever done
on the podcast. But of course, guys, welcome to our
Ramble episode and.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
Take the glasses off, because that's actually not prescription. I
can see, and it's just made it too dark in.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Here, okay, but it is dark inside your heart. We
are going to get into our main discussion, which was
Georgie's absolute heartbreak in the fact that New South Wales
decided to do what quite literally no one expected them
to do, probably including Laurie Daily and put on a
clinic in the origin decider at so yeah, to silence
(02:01):
what is the single most parochial cloud crowd in Australian sport.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Yes, yep, and they did that full success. I never
heard the crowd. The Queensland a chant went up m
No four times and.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Just because you were smashed from them.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Exactly exactly, that's what I mean.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
They completely took the crowd out of the game. New
South Wales, they came out, they had us off balance.
We were never settled. We made so many mistakes.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Laurie Dayly, who was slammed for his selection decisions as well.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
I know I feel that people do deserve like he
is owed an apology from a lot of people. A
lot of people can I also just say, and I
mean this, you know, with disrespect, But New South Wales why.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
It takes me, you know, well done, well done, well done.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
Why you grind my gears, you fans, is because the
way that you treat your players sometimes. I mean, look
on this podcast, I'm very vocal about Nathan Cleary was
put on this earth to troll me. But that's always
said with because how good he is, Yes, like I
will rate him as a future immortal.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
I know how dangerous he is.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Sorry he must be now.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
He has Yeah, he's on his way right.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
The only black mark that everyone would always say was
he's never ay good at Origin and I'd be like, Okay,
what are you talking about.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
It's Nathan Cleary.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
Despite him not having the series wins, he's still been
a part of some incredible Blues teams and has single
handedly led the Blues to those few wins throughout his career.
So for him to come out last night in the
fifteenth minute and score, I want to say I'm surprised.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
I'm not.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
I'm not because as soon as you do criticize a
champion like that he's gonna hit back, He's going.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
To hit back, and he was unbelievable. He was unbelievable.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
The whole New South Wales team where they completely took
the Queensland forwards out of it. I don't think I
remember seeing Tino Farssel Malawi until part way through the
second half and I was like, where are our forwards?
Max Plath was tackling his little hard out. But I
think Patti Carraghan, our best friend, I think he was
in jed and I never saw him again.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Patti Karragan, who you got to say geopolitically in your
interview which I just want, ah, one of yours, not
only a Broncos captain, but one of yours. Before we
get into our main chat, let's do good sport, bad sport.
If you got a good sport, Oh no, do you
know what I do have a really good sport.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
And I'm going to show you the video. I don't
know if you've seen it, but I think that it
will make you cry. This is a shout out to
a surprising best friend of mine, Travis Kelsey, on this podcast,
whose typical I know you don't know where I'm going
whose typical celebration is the Archer right like that's been
his football celebration. Now it is currently Jai July for
(04:50):
Gi Arrow. So everyone who scores a try across the NRL,
if they do, they often will do the Arrow celebration.
So I'm calling on Killer trav to have look to
his fellow athletes and hopefully we can get the word
out he sees this. I know he's on his honeymoon
right now. I don't care, but if he could do
something for Ji July and fire MND, amazing. But I
just wanted to show you this video because this is
(05:11):
the ultimate good sport. There were two try celebrations last night.
I think from memory that the Arrow celebration was done.
Maybe it was three, including Hudson Young who scored that
last minute horrific From a Queenslander's perspective.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Try four New South Wales in Ode to Ji.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
Just to show that this is bigger than bigger than sport,
bigger than state versus state, mate against mate, and I
just wanted to.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Show you this video of why sport matters.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
Hope UT of the Rugby Union lit all black semple
in there, super leagues in there.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
I mean Traveth Kelski rude. Oh no. And you know
what the nice thing is, it's every team right.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Every team, every team, every team, every code.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
They're doing the giant Arrow celebration of launching an arrow
into the sky if they score a try. The junior
clubs are doing it, the Wall of Ees are doing it,
the All Blacks are doing it.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
I want Killer Trap.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
To do it a better celebration for my good sport.
Sophie Molinie, friend of the Pod, going full Shane Warn unbelievable. Yes,
the little team and by little team, I mean the
greatest and most successful team in Australian sporting history doing
what they do. It has been near on impossible for
(06:36):
our girls. At my girls, your girls, they are to
get cut through because I don't know, the ICC scheduled
the Women's World Cup in London at the same time
as the World Cup, with the World Cup final happening
(06:57):
at midnight our time. Good luck, yeah, good luck. And
the thing is everyone was going Australia mad at World
Cup and I'm like, yeah, politely, we're not gonna win
that one. We're not gonna We're not gonna win that one.
Do you know what We're gonna win this one over here,
this one over here with our fearless leader who dressed
up as Kath and Kim during the week, which was
(07:17):
the greatest footage I've ever seen.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
And friend of the pod, Friend of the pod, so
fall on you.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Yeah who there not only did the full wicket overhead celebration,
but then did the beer on.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Head, beer on head, beer on head.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Yeah, she's a big ol big but my god, they
were flawless. Didn't drop, did not drop a single game? Really,
Denise Perry playing like he's twelve after I gave a
ship with being thirty five? Can we address that the
woman was dominating with bat and ball?
Speaker 3 (07:45):
Can we address that they came on this podcast after
missing some silverware most recently, as soon as they come
on this podcast, they win.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Thank you, thank you. So you're saying I am the
minors touched because your right. I just feel like it is,
and so much so that Darcy Brown came out during
the tournament and said, Hey, Australian mainstream media any danger.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Yeah, it's actually it has been, as someone who works
in news, reads the news for a living, yeah, it's
been almost impossible to find it to see it anywhere
because and don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that
the World Cup football coverage should be dampened down. We're
going to get to that in a second ourselves, because
(08:32):
I'm loving all of that. I'm saying, why can't we
have both.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
When the player of the match is arguably our greatest
ever athlete? Yes, yeah, you want to talk about football.
She's an ex Matilda who scored at a World Cup.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
I'm sorry, Yeah, unbelievable, unbelievable performance from the Australian cricket team.
World champions, world champions. Currently a secret world champion, but
secret world champions. Make it everyone know, make it known,
Let everybody know that they did it again. I think
there's this expectation right that they're just going to win everything.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
But which they hadn't been, which we haven't been.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
We haven't been, So that's why this is actually like
especially and we know also like this.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Is Meg Lanning, yes, Noah, Lisa Healy. This is this
team that like, you know, when we look at our
men's team, it's like, but who's the next generation With
women's it's like who's because there's so many Yeah yep, sorry,
I keep banging the table and I know it's not
good for audio, but I feel very strongly about this.
I love them, Yes, I love them, and I love
Sophmal than you and she has had. There was criticism
(09:35):
when she was appointed, basically going this is a popularity vote. Well,
well do you want? I like winning? Yeah? Makes it
popular winning? What's it feel like?
Speaker 2 (09:44):
I wouldn't know, wouldn't know, queens lamb wouldn't know. Joking.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
Look, look in all seriousness, just to tie up our
good sport bad sport. I understand that. You know, I
take big swings. I'm very passionate, very vocal about my
love for certain teams. So when it doesn't work out,
I will take the hits and I will be a
good sport about it potentially. But no, New South Wales
did deserve this. They deserve the victory. Well done to them.
(10:09):
I always it was. It was not game one where
you're like, come on, they deserve it was. Yes, it
was a real clinic, yes, yes, yes.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Yes, yes, yes.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
Harry Grant said it best. We saved our worst to
last for Queensland. But New South Wales completely controlled that game.
Nathan Cleary was a huge part of that and they
were just far, far more disciplined than us. Hudson Young
had an unbelievable game as well, and Laurie Daily maybe
maybe he'll be there next year. He'll be there next year,
(10:41):
and then Ivan Cleary comes in. But before that, before
that loss, you get one more one more season, I reckon.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
And before that our main chat.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
Now, Jeremy, I know that I slightly uprooted things by
going over to the other side of the world during
one of the busiest sporting times of the world, which
is the World Cup, But it would be remiss of
us not to just kind of catch up between ourselves
and with our listeners about points of interest that we've
(11:22):
loved so far with the tournament.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Mine can really.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
Be summed up by two words, which just so happened
to be a name.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Early, Oh Harlan.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
I'm obsessed.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
I am beyond obsessed. Now it's a joke what this.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
Man can do his goal against Brazil to knock them
out with an insane kick from a standing start which
flew ad one hundred and twenty kill me as an
hour into the are you job?
Speaker 1 (11:59):
I know?
Speaker 3 (12:00):
I know he's a freak. I knew he was a freak.
I understand it's well established. He's paid like ninety billion
dollars a second.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
I get. What I'm saying is he should be paid more.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Undus undus. I think he scored his first World Cup
goal with his fourth touch in this tournament, him leading
the Norway Viking Chad. Let's get he had a w
before it started with how immaculate he looked dressed as
a Viking.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Yes, that photo shoot, that photo shoot.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
There has even been ai going around where he's scared
of himself, which is my favorite, which is hilarious, but
it is when the best stars in the world are
all in the one place. He is shining the brightest.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
He's shining the brightest.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
He's equal on goals, right with Embarbe and also fucking
mess shouldn't I swear.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
Also messy in Barbe France look untouchable.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
Yeah, I still think that they're not getting.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
Out of a counter. My favorite thing has been the
fact that Erling Harland has decided to bring half a
million dollars worth of handbags. I'm obsessed the amez that
I'm sure he doesn't have to buy with his six
hundred thousand dollars a minute that he earns or whatever
it is when you break down his contract. But the
amez in the omez, oh really, it just tickles me.
(13:19):
That's he's immaculate.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
And who's your audience for that earling us?
Speaker 1 (13:23):
It's us might give me the customer with the painting.
I don't care your ah.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Love the Soccreus, Love the way they went about.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
It, Love the way they went about it.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Love the general optimism that I think we can have
about the Soccerus going forward. I think coming into this
World Cup we needed a little bit to full back
in love with the Soccreus and have we did a
household name nessrii erin Kunda with someone who was so
well known by those that love football in this country.
But I think he's just gone to a new level.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Agreed.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
I think the excitement around what we can perhaps look
forward to with how we fielded one of the youngest teams.
We didn't have the youngest score, but we filled one
of the youngest teams in the World Cup.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
Yes, I think fal Pardo the experiment foral Parto, I
think I think it paid off. He was always in everything.
I was like he repaid Poppa's selection of him.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
Patrick Beach oh oh, they renamed Saint Kilda Beach, Patrick Beach.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
That is disrespectful to him because you know my thoughts
on Saint Kilda Beach Beach pitch.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
Fridy and on Sant Kilda Beach said with love.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
But I tell you what, for someone whose job is beach,
well fuck it, well done.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
I was obsessed with him. He did oh, I loved
him went.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
And to be fair, when Matt Ryan was subbed off
just before the subbed on with those penalties, I was
like no, and I know why, but I was really
looking forward to Beach doing it.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
And do you know what, I'd never want to be
a coach of a national team because Poppa, like you know,
especially for the team sheet against Turkyo, makes all these
changes and everyone's like what are you doing? And then
we win by two nail and we go You're a genius.
And then the next team sheet comes out like again
what are you doing? And then because we lose. And
the one thing I will say is we only scored
(15:05):
two goals for the whole tournament, which did come in
that game against Tokyo. Yes we did get one against Egypt,
but that was an own goal. There was not a
blade of grass on that field that Egypt didn't want
to roll around on.
Speaker 4 (15:18):
And I will.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Highlight further if women carried on like that when we
got injured, people would not accept this shit.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
No, it was unwatchable a lot of I've found a
lot of moments throughout some of these seating, nauseating, unwatchable. Yes,
because I just scream I might get up. And not
to compare the pair, however, Rugby League, their arms are
hanging off and they're fighting to get back in there,
(15:47):
and I'm like, sir, you must sit down here.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
It's like a stud grazers and.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
Pinky toe and they're like, well, where's the air ambulance?
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Would I do that? Yes?
Speaker 3 (15:59):
I will.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
I get that, it's part of it, but it's it's
more the I don't know. We were four am where
they're watching with the kids, and I literally turned to
Kate and I'd be like, I'd find it really hard
to copy you doing that, like as it is in
like get get up.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
I was watching up.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
I was watching Mexico England with Robert and in the
dying stages of that match, there was a Mexican player
who did stay down and Robert was like filthy because
he'd had enough of everyone rolling around and he was
yelling at him, being like.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Get god.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
Next minute, there's like seven medical staff around him with
a stretcher, and I was like, he actually might be interesting.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
But they come out, they come out with stretchers because
of the theatrics. Yeah, and then they get up and
they shake it off.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Just need that magic spray. You fine, You're fine.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
To quote the incredible documentary that is She's the man,
rub some dirt in it and get out there.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Come on, come on, I am with you. In terms
of I think that the soccer us.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
While I was disappointed that they didn't make it through
to the round of sixteen, I knew that we weren't
going to as soon as it went to Penn's and
Harry Suit justlysguided. I was like, that's not good. That
is absolutely not good. It is not the teenager's fault.
But in any way, shape we love.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
We love him.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
SODA's Latin, so that's really for him.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Sorry, I love Slaton if anyone missed this. Basically afterwards,
Latan Ibrahiovich's a man who references himself as God, came
out in commentary and was like, you listen to me,
young man. You're the best, forget the rest. You want, Latian,
you give me a call and it's just immaculate, so good,
And it's just that idea that we have. It's the
(17:41):
gout gout of it all in that sometimes as Australians
we think when we've got a prodigious talent that we're
getting ahead of ourselves. With the amount of attention that
this kid's getting at eighteen and how many days from
World Sport, the thirty million dollar transfer fees that we
know that these MLS club are going No, thank you,
he's worth more than that. We're not getting ahead of ourselves.
(18:03):
This kid's an actual talent and a star that we're
going to see on the big stage. And I think
the soccers have just been missing that piece yet a while.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Yes, Yes, I'm I'm I'm boyed.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
I'm boyed by our performance we showed I think throughout
every match.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
That we've got an Asian Cup coming up.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
Ah huh, yes, and we have. This was such a
defensive effort right and that was how our play was
defense and Poppa they adhered to that. Now we just
have to we need new team, Tim Cahill, because unfortunately
we need we need goals.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
You do need goals if you're going to win match.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
That's the thing you do need, like an offensive threat.
And there are a lot of questions about whether or
not we need to say Motore as well as Nastrian Kunda,
as well as like val Pado all at once. But
we never really saw ch I wouldn't mind, ye, but
sometimes they say if you play all the stars at once,
it just doesn't quite work. We all become experts all
of a sudden, like.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
We know, do you know what I do know?
Speaker 3 (18:57):
Look, I don't know if he wants to make a
move into politics, but able.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
Oh my god, I love this man.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
For the love of God, considerate.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
I know you're busy right now with your professional football career.
But for anyone who doesn't know, dear listener, this is
a soccer Ruse player who first went viral ahead of
the tournament when he got star struck by getting a
question from one of his favorite journos and broadcasters from
the SBS, and he was like, oh my god, sorry
(19:28):
are you David? And it was just absolute heaven. Upon
returning to Australia after our sad demise in the World
Cup and talking about you know, what what went wrong,
how we're feeling, what the culture of the soccer ruse is,
what culture and football is, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
Fielding all of these questions, Ambil says.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
This would.
Speaker 4 (19:55):
I just I can swear is this all bullshit? When
when some to try to divide, you know, people based
on certain things, based on because you don't pick where
you're born, you don't pick the color of your skin.
You pick to be a good human being. Yes, that's
a choice. So some people they choose to go against
(20:16):
being good, then that's their own problem. Then they're missing
out on what others can bring. And that's what multicultural does.
It brings other flavor to the table instead of just
one thing. So that's how I see it, and that's
how the group sees it. Also, it's many journeys with
one jersey. That's what we say. That's how slogan in
the camp. It didn't really destruct us because we know
(20:38):
we know what we represent. We represent Australia are the
biggest stage and Australia, as I said the other day,
you know it's the best country in the world. And
so Cruise is the best representation of that and if
anybody is trying to divide that, then they're probably not
Australian themselves in a sense.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
Respectfully, many jerseys with on journey, No, many journeys with
my jersey.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
Oh God, we love him, we love we love him.
He also spoke during Refugee Week after the Turkey AO win,
just saying, you know, I think given the amount of
turbulence going on in Australia at the moment, it's really
important that people here. You know. He was open about
his own stories, saying, my family fled a war torn
(21:23):
country and we're given opportunities in Australia.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
But it's it's people. It's people like him.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
It's people like mobile, players like him that are going
to build that next well, the culture around the soccer Ruse,
but also the fandom around this right because everyone's favorite
team is the Matilda's.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
That's you know, I wish this man, but very well.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
This man, but this is this is for the soccer
rus It's like highlight him, this is this, put him
on the platform like he is who people will follow.
We want to see him do well, we want to
see this team do well. I think that overall, it's
a past mark for a for a World Cup for US.
Also when you think about it, to keep the politics
(22:05):
of it all, Sally, we just don't have the geopolitical
situation right now.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
We can call FIFA and be like, yo.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
I don't I've left I've deliberately left Trump out of this.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
I'll bring him in because that was one of the
wildest things ever, one of the wildest things I've ever seen.
I've ever seen luckily, I mean, you know, Team USA
unfortunately for them now, but this is this is the narrative,
right is that it's like, oh, you had to get
your dad to call your teacher to let you like,
you know, play or whatever. And they had up until
(22:37):
that point had an exceptional tournament I know, you know,
and now I will ever can talk about is that
red card being overturned, which is unprecedented but Belgium absolutely
to all.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
My favorite thing is if you watch the press conference,
Trump both goes from you know, sports, I know sports,
I was very good at sports, to being like he
got a card. I didn't know what that meant. Favorite
in the same anyway, we love the States, we'd like
to travel, the travel.
Speaker 5 (23:03):
Do you know what else?
Speaker 1 (23:03):
We love? And fun fact oh, oh my god, wim
Wooden fashion has never been better. Did you see Yannick
Sinner in that jacket?
Speaker 5 (23:14):
I said that to you last week. Oh, I said
that last week. Oh, Georgie, the floor length, it's immaculate.
I brought it up last week on this Yes, Oh
my god, the Yannick jacket. I didn't see it. What's
my other fun to hang on? No?
Speaker 1 (23:29):
I have one already, hang on. Fun fact, fun fact,
fun fact. We're going to wim Wooden. Roger Federer gets
better with age. Fun fact, fun fact because that man
looking amaculated. Oh and everyone else has gone in for lunch,
because the sets are gone a little bit long, and
(23:50):
he's there surrounded by only empty green seats, looking like
a mirage. He's so perfect. Kimi Antonelli's meeting him, wanting
to in the double backhand. He just mahmah love.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
He does look absolutely unbelievable. You know, do you know?
Fun fact again?
Speaker 3 (24:08):
Who's just proving themselves to be one of my favorite
players of all time and one of ours?
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Arenas at Blenka.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
Ah, I want to forget about tennis for a while.
I'm going to get blind drunk.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
I'm going to get blind.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
Is a direct quote from her postmatch, which is like
honestly tennis, and because she got asked by one of
the reporters off the top being like, you know, you're
world number one, do you feel like world number one?
If you don't, how do you need to get back
to where you are? And she goes, oh my god,
this question. Okay, I'm going to get blind drunk. Does
anyone essentially want to join me? And it is She's amazing.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
She's amazing, She's one of those other journals in that
In that same presser said, you know, commiserations on the loss,
and she goes.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
Did did you say congratulations?
Speaker 2 (24:59):
And he said, no commiseration.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
She said, oh, we need to get her. We need
to get the os Open. It has to happen.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
It is one of ours.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
Yes, and I'm sad she's not going to win Wimbledon,
but hey, it's okay, Arena, it's gonna be right.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
It's gonna be a right nors like the women's straw
has just been obliterated. IgA swan Tek's out again.
Speaker 2 (25:17):

The coat's so good.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
The code is unbelievable. The code is unbelievable.
Speaker 3 (25:34):
I've got just a little bit of an extra fun
fact here for everyone playing at home and for you
jell me, because I think it is pertinent for us
to introduce everyone to our new favorite Australian athlete that's
not a woemobile. His name is half to Strinsos and
he won the Gold Coast Marathon in a time off.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
Two hours six minutes. Yeah yeah.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
Can I just say that if if he took off
at the same time that you press play on the
incredible movie Titanic, there is a chance that that boat
hasn't even hit the iceberg before he finishes. That's how
fast he's moving.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
He ran forty two kilometers.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
Two hours and six minutes. Two hours and six minutes.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
That has that's the Australian record. It's it's it's it's.
Speaker 2 (26:27):

Speaker 1 (26:29):
It is.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
It is un believable historic win. Yeah mate.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
It was also the first Australian to win that event
in twenty years and he finished a minute ahead of second.

loll yeah, strange and strange, strange. No, there's no dinosaurs anymore, guys,
they're not. There's nothing.
