Speaker 1 (00:01):
With the John Yan Ben Podcast. Cheers to Dilma making
the world a bitter teeth.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
You lost us the mat we we we week.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
I'm so going to you. Can I say what a
wonderful job you've done over the last couple of weeks,
as have all the the reporters over there for Skysport
Crawd goes wild. But what I love last night on
Crago's World A parody song that James Macona you sug
A parody song on the Olympics. I was trying to
find it before, but you're going to have to sing
the chorus acapella right now, James.
Speaker 4 (00:34):
All right, the old Paris Paris, who's headluck in Paris.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
And you got you got athletes as well to your
New Zealand athletes who had a head luck in Paris
who won gold medals to mal the long as well.
I mean that's you know, that's that's high concept.
Speaker 4 (00:51):
You're never sure if they're going to go Actually, I
don't want to be part of this. Usually they won
a medal, so they're on this high and they don't
know what they're agreeing to.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
That's them in a week moment, Paris Parish in Paris
it's great, love it, love it. I felt like we've
got a let the last to performance just then though from.
Speaker 5 (01:07):
You, James, Okay, yeah you did, you did.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
It's been along a couple of weeks the Olympics. I'm
actually I'm really genuinely going to miss it. I've loved
watching it and it's been our greatest ever Olympics ever
for New Zealand. So many highlights you've been there to
witness them. I mean, it's probably hard to pick one,
but pick one one or two of your favorite highlights.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
Look, I actually think for me that one of the
big highlights was seeing the skateboard park the men's final
and got to interview Tony Hawk.
Speaker 5 (01:41):
Yeah, Tony Hawk, you go, so we're back, John.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
What did you ask Tony Hawk?
Speaker 4 (01:48):
Just the usual shots? Like I sort of just did
that thing. He was really supposed to be walking past.
He was with his wife, and I sort of dragged
and pulled him away and pulled him off in front
of his wife and said, look, what do you think
of the final? And how about what you know skateboarding
being in the Olympics and all that sort of stuff,
and then gave him there, you're still the goat, Tony,
(02:11):
I love you.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
It must be hard not to sort of fanboy out
in front of some of these people. I know in
the past you've had Kobe Bryant and the previous Olympooks
and you asked him why there weren't many cats around
or something.
Speaker 5 (02:23):
Yeah, I know, I just thought that they weren't.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
I hadn't seen many, you know, things sometimes were.
Speaker 5 (02:29):
There was probably a waste of a question.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
Kobe Bryant, legendary basketball had he noticed the lack of cats?
Speaker 5 (02:38):
Yeah? He was like, I'm not quite sure, man. Yeah.
Same like, yeah, it's a real mystery, Kobe.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
And now he's gone on and be able to find it,
you know, like give him the second chance of asking
him any more questions.
Speaker 5 (02:50):
But I actually I interviewed.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
My biggest interview of the Olympics, honestly is interviewing Raygan,
the Australia breakdowncer who she broke the internet as well.
She has gone viral after her arriving kind of Kath
and Kim like performance in the women's breakdancing.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Yeah. I feel sorry for her, you know, because everyone's
sort of pile as the internet does a piled on.
But she looked like she was having fun out there
and she spoke really well, I thought in her interview with.
Speaker 4 (03:18):
You, Yeah, I mean she feels like she has a
place here, and she was legit. I actually thought it
might have been a plant, like someone who decided to
just come in and take the piss. I mean, you
realize when you're laughing at someone's routine, that's probably not
what you're you know, like supposed to be the reaction
you're supposed to be getting. And she was in a
(03:40):
full assy trick suit. She looked like a lawn bowler
and she was kind of but I know what you're saying.
Speaker 5 (03:45):
I don't like the pylon either.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
It was it was always going to happen when you
saw what she was doing.
Speaker 5 (03:50):
There were a couple of kangaroo moves.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
She looked to be like mopping the floor with her head.
Speaker 5 (03:56):
Yeah, it's just stuff where she.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Almost got stuck on the ground for a bit as well.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
I was thinking the same thing. I was like, it's
like this like a genius boor at moment where someone
has gone through the qualifying stages to get to them
and they're going to reveal their prank video.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
She won the Oceania Championship so she was she deserved
the place there as well. Yeah, as I said, I
don't know if she deserved the pylon, but anyway.
Speaker 4 (04:17):
Yeah, the pylon's not and she qualified, right, Like what
was New Zealand doing?
Speaker 5 (04:21):
Why didn't we send Razor?
Speaker 1 (04:22):
I mean.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
We right, Yeah, so New Zealand's best Olympics overall, that
felt like we started slow, James, and then in the
end we really brought home a lot of metals.
Speaker 4 (04:39):
Yeah, we came home strong, and like I think that
this week just looking at obviously to go in the boat,
Dame Lisa Karrington, that's huge, lids to the co just
dropping the mic and saying it's my last Olympics.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
I've won gold.
Speaker 5 (04:53):
You can have this. I mean, golf shouldn't really.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
Be at the Olympics, right, they already got you know,
four majors year five in women's golf.
Speaker 5 (05:01):
So but the fact that now is not the time.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Now is not the time to be saying that, James,
we just want gold.
Speaker 5 (05:06):
Keep it there. No, she's finishing now, so we can
we can cancel golf.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
You can have golf back.
Speaker 5 (05:13):
Yeah, you can have it back now. We don't need it.
So there was loads and then I mean Hamish.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
Kurr free Kish to win that high jump gold medal
we've never seen.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
I mean, athletics gold is really hard to come by.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
Unless you're Jamaican or something, But for New Zealand it's
just you just don't often see it. I mean we've
we've had horses that have jumped really high at the
Olympics and one goal, but never humans.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
And how do you rank your Olympics? Was this James
mccaroney's best Olympics ever?
Speaker 5 (05:42):
I know it remains to be seen.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
I think that like there's one of those Olympics where
you just you look back at the others and I
think when I was purely with crowd goes wild, we
just basically went wherever we want wanted to and went,
oh mahes rowing today, let's go see what Marhe's doing.
Speaker 5 (05:57):
Whereas this year I was more.
Speaker 4 (05:59):
Part of the Sky broadcast and doing a lot of
sort of live crosses.
Speaker 5 (06:03):
And having to be pretty sensible. So maybe is it
my most sensible look?
Speaker 3 (06:09):
I like that it was.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Weighed down by the shackles of proper presenting.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
Yeah, yeah, you've got to do something, You've got to
do the proper thing, do what you got to do
to get the trip.
Speaker 5 (06:18):
John O, well, well down.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
Do you got the trip? Okay? Away from the Olympics.
James mcconi's highlight was it a meal? Was it at
seeing something out? What did you say?
Speaker 4 (06:27):
Okay this I shouldn't even share this. But my mate,
who's done reasonably well, he said to me, do.
Speaker 5 (06:32):
You want to come out for dinner?
Speaker 1 (06:33):
And I said, oh, yeah, cool it.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
He goes, it's a Michelin star restaurant and the meal
of set menu is six hundred and eighty euros per person.
Speaker 5 (06:42):
So is that twelve hundred euros?
Speaker 4 (06:45):
And I said, no, I'm going to mate, I'll just
go down to the canal and have a pizza like
I normally do.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
So he goes, no, ill my shout. So I went
to this degastation.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
Dinner and this fancy, fancy restaurant eating weird stuff like
obviously there's the heavy sort of thing needle, just.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Bizarre needle like sting stinging plant.
Speaker 4 (07:10):
Yeah, I think so, but I mean I don't know.
There was just all sorts of stuff going on.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
It feels like the more the more you pay, the
more strange the food combos is.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
Yeah, yes, so we're just eating all these weird plants
that you're pretty much weeds and stuff, and then but
you have to say you like it. It was a
two thousand euro meal for just of weeds, and.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Maybe the roundup wasn't selling the weeds.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
So good to catch up. Well done to you and
the rest of the team. A mazing coverage over the
last couple of weeks, so it's gonna be a little
bit come down for all of us after such a
great event, and we'll catch up with the.
Speaker 5 (07:51):
Third I'd love that.
