Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hot tomato.

Speaker 2 (00:00):
Breaking broke the internet over the weekend the International Games.
Is why that particular athlete represented our country in breaking?

Speaker 3 (00:10):
Was that the best that we could produce? But I
got all excited. I was like, lot, kids, you could
go to the Olympics.

Speaker 4 (00:18):
Well, we often talk about what do you reckon you'd
be able to do to get to the Olympics.

Speaker 1 (00:23):
I know a Commonwealth Games, they don't have any the Olympics.
Lawn bowls that's another one they could put in the Olympics.

Speaker 3 (00:28):
Yeah, that's right, the lawn bowls.

Speaker 2 (00:30):
But anyway, so that's what we're talking about, Like what
sport maybe you're already currently doing, which is not a
part of the lineup of the International Games.

Speaker 3 (00:37):
But you're just like, hang on a minute. If breaking
could make it, why can't my sport?

Speaker 2 (00:40):
And I've suggested silks. I've seen these. Yes, they're happening
in dance schools everywhere. It's such a fitness and elite
level and it's dangerous, great to watch. What do you want, Sharon?
What do you want?

Speaker 1 (00:54):
Ah, that's a good one.

Speaker 3 (00:56):
I'm surprised it's not in there.

Speaker 1 (00:57):
Well, it's getting bigger.

Speaker 5 (01:00):
They do. My husband and my two children even paddle
for Australia, so there are other countries that do it,
so it should be in there.

Speaker 4 (01:09):
Yeah, and you could do it on the same water
course as you've got the rowing and the kayaks.

Speaker 3 (01:16):
Yeah, difference. Can someone explain to me just quickly.

Speaker 4 (01:20):
What's the Yeah, we'll they paddle one side and they're
on each they sit on each side of the boat,
so you only one side.

Speaker 5 (01:27):
Okay, you have a drummer in the front and one
standing at the back.

Speaker 3 (01:32):
Did you say a drummer. Yeah, so it's really tribal.

Speaker 1 (01:36):
Yeah. Well that keeps their rhythm. That's for the rhythm
of the actual pedal.

Speaker 3 (01:40):
I would watch that. That's magnificent.

Speaker 1 (01:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:42):
Yeah, Oh that's a great suggestion. And of course obviously
they're skin in the game for you, Sharon. You obviously
have some champions. They're ready to go and represent our country.

Speaker 1 (01:52):
Family.

Speaker 3 (01:54):
I will tell it. Hurry up, we're just stetting out
the dream here.

Speaker 1 (01:57):
That's right. Now. We've got Jeff the uber Man.

Speaker 2 (02:00):
Jeff, what do you think should be included in the
International Games?

Speaker 5 (02:04):
Good morning?

Speaker 1 (02:05):
How are you?

Speaker 3 (02:06):
We're good mate.

Speaker 5 (02:09):
I think it's got out there. But if there was
a nuclear wardre in the game to be the only
game to survive.

Speaker 2 (02:15):
Cockroach racing, we could bring that for twenty thirty two.

Speaker 3 (02:19):
Yeah, you've got to do some Australian styles.

Speaker 1 (02:21):
Well it's in Queensland. Maybe the cane toad racing.

Speaker 2 (02:24):
Yeah, well actually, James from Arundel, you want to suggest
cane toad racing.

Speaker 5 (02:28):
Yes, cane toad racing, that would be the best concept.
That way, you'll introduce our worst tests to the.

Speaker 4 (02:35):
World, our worst best Yeah, and then we could give
them a souvenir and they have to take a live
one out of the country and that's how we can
get rid of some of them.

Speaker 5 (02:45):
Absolutely, and that' that'd be a little trophy around the neck.

Speaker 3 (02:49):
Do cane toads eat cockroaches? Did do toads eat insects?

Speaker 2 (02:53):
Because we could do both side by side, and then
the reward for the cane toad is to eat the
champion from the coroached pracing.

Speaker 1 (03:01):
We've been well, state of Origin, were wanting to do
it all the time.

Speaker 3 (03:04):
Starting to be a bit hunger games here. That's right,
let's get her back on track.

Speaker 2 (03:08):
Adam from Service Paradise, what should be included in the
International Games?

Speaker 5 (03:13):
I think it should be skipping.

Speaker 1 (03:15):
I can't not like holding.

Speaker 4 (03:17):
Hands, giving down the road kind of skipping, like with
a skipping road skipping contest. Skipping and Nanny's big. It's
actually really quite big in the States too, I think.
And it's like you can do as a single at
the double as a team event.

Speaker 2 (03:30):
There's a girl on Instagram that I've started following her name,
it's Laurence Skips.

Speaker 3 (03:34):
She is the most.

Speaker 1 (03:35):
Extraordinary wish girl.

Speaker 2 (03:37):
She is so she's sassy and cute and she does
all the skipping to all the top songs.

Speaker 3 (03:41):
But the fitness level on this woman is out of
this world.

Speaker 2 (03:45):
It's a very impressive sport and it is another one
that you would you'd.

Speaker 1 (03:48):
Watch, right, yeah, this is.

Speaker 2 (03:50):
But it could go pair shape like Reagan as well,
because someone could just turn up and just.

Speaker 4 (03:55):
Well that's where you've got to get your qualifying right. Yeah,
you know what I mean. There's a standard. I can
set a standard. But anyways, I thought we thought we
did have that.

Speaker 1 (04:03):
Well, it didn't work.
