Speaker 1 (00:00):
Darcy water Grave sports stoo Coasters with me ades. Hello,
are we going to watch the America's Cup this year?
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Though?
Speaker 1 (00:04):
What do you mean? Were you inviting me to your house?
You and me and Barry?
Speaker 2 (00:09):
I mean we collectively as a country. Are we going
to watch it?
Speaker 1 (00:12):
I'm going to find out tonight when I ask the people,
because it's just turned up all of a sudden. Ah,
here it is. It's all preliminary and it's the start,
and it's slowly bit sure to get there eventually, but
pretty much on Thursday night things get under way.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
So I mean, like, where's the promo for it? I
didn't know it was.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
Well, they've got the America's Cup currently is being well,
not yet, I think September. The second they're on his
zellen yacht squadron. We're going to cart it all over
the Mothy for people to have a wee look at
can't touch it, but they can have a we look
at it and go wow seventeen caligrams. So I don't
think they want anyone picking it up because we drop
it all over again. So that's part of the promotion.
(00:51):
I wonder if it's too little, too late, or it's
just a last minute thought, or it's they're on his
zelland yacht squadron saying, well, we've got it. Looks really cool.
She saw it a couple of days ago. It was awesome,
kind of cool to look at it, kind of pick
it up, no, and take it around to encourage people
to look at because after all, there's kind of the
Royal and zeel and yacht squads and they're looking after it.
(01:12):
I kind of think the horse might have bolted because
it's over there. It's on the other side of the world.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
What's the time zone.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
I think it's going to be like two thirty in
the morning. As so horrible way, Well, we've all got
you know, Beata Max's or vh SS or sky or
whatever it is to record it. You can watch it
the next day.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
That's not put the text all the fun out of it.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Just yeah, when it gets to the final maybe you
watch it. Like I'm really keen on the sailing itself,
and I'm really keen on the technology. It's one on
the water. I'm all over it. But I wonder about
the disconnect between Team Grant, Dalton Airways and everybody else
and whether any of the good Wall's actually still there.
Whether it feels like ours right, Yeah, I don't know
(01:54):
if it does. And a man who was involved with
the America's Cup way back when, Jim Farmer kse he
joined us tonight after seven talking about whether actually him
and his circle people he knows has been heavily in sailing.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Racing commentator though, is he? I mean he's had he
tried to basically take the thing off, Grant.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Dunfey, I think, but rightly so, because they just basically
picked it up and flogged it and ran off. And
you knew that interview. When was it? Maybe it was
the start of the year in the last year when
he was talking about how great Saudi Arabia was and
be a fantastic place to host the next America's Cup.
And I'm like, Mike, I'm sorry, did I just hear
that you haven't even defended it and already you've given
(02:42):
it to Saudi ra. It's a great place over here,
nothing wrong, it's fantastic. They're really friendly. Of course they're friendly.
They want to sport watch with your cup.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Oh money is friendly. I just like, so it's never
coming back, right, Well, you get the feeling that way
if they defend it Arabia. Oh yeah, and then if
we don't defend it, what's the chance of us going
back and do it again. I wonder what the government
of thinking now going Actually probably good saving of one hundred.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Million dollars exactly, we can use the money for something.
And I think in this day, in this day and age, no,
it's really keen on flagrant abusive cash, are they?
Speaker 2 (03:16):
I would agree with you on that one. Darcy. It's
good to have you in the studio.

I rang up and he goes no, no, no, no, no, yeah,
