185: Paralympics 101

Well...Basically Episode 185

On today's show we continued our conversation on they Olympics and the Paralympics!

Andrew came in with some lovely information on how they put athletes up against each other in the Paralympics, the different types of grading they use to stratify their disabilities and much more.

We also talked about a very hot topic, Australia's greatest dancer on the Olympic stage.

We hope you enjoy today's episode!

Speaker 1:

this is well, basically with your host, mike de silva, and sam weeks on today's show.

Speaker 2:

we continued our conversation on the olympics and the paralympics. Andrew came in with some lovely information on how they put athletes up against each other in the Paralympics, the different types of grading they use to stratify their disabilities, and much more. Then we also talked about a very hot topic Australia's greatest dancer on the Olympic stage. We had a little conversation about that. We had some thoughts. We hope you enjoyed today's show. This is Well, basically Well basically.

Speaker 2:

This is how I'm starting. Really, how are we starting? Do you know this song, mikey? No, that's bad. You love this guy, prince. Yeah, you love this guy too, prince. Yeah, you love this guy too, andrew. I don't know if I do.

Speaker 3:

Is Prince still alive?

Speaker 2:

No, have you seen him do While my Guitar Gently Weeps? Yes, have you seen him throw a Kardashian off the stage? What he goes, get off my stage. It's one of the best things I've ever seen. That's fantastic. He was such a sass pop. Do you know? He's got a vault of all the songs that he didn't release, and apparently there are like thousands of songs. He would like go into a studio and record so much stuff and then would just put it away for later.

Speaker 3:

I see that happening to you, Sammy. Yeah, I've got a vault.

Speaker 2:

But mostly it's just fart. Noises with heaps of reverb, yeah, but mostly it's just fart noises with heaps of reverb yeah.

Speaker 1:

Can we get 50th?

Speaker 2:

album. Can you put one in the edit?

Speaker 1:

right there.

Speaker 2:

Just a really long reverbed fart, absolutely.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, please, for sure. Thanks, it's going to go so long.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, and it's all just variations on that. I think he was going to do a. He was almost going to do a duet with Stevie Nicks. Oh, really, a duet with Stevie Nicks? Oh, really yeah. She probably didn't sing well enough for him, though what?

Speaker 3:

Well, he hated everyone.

Speaker 1:

famously, Stevie Nicks is a fantastic singer oh, she is, I'm not saying she's not.

Speaker 2:

I think she semi-sampled something for Staten Beck, oh yeah, I mean Raspberry Boy, oh yeah.

Speaker 3:

You know Stevie Nicks was in American Horror Story.

Speaker 2:

Really.

Speaker 3:

Wow, playing herself, that's easy. Anyone could do that. Yeah, she is a witchy woman.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, he also. He did the. You know, I don't think they do it anymore where they get all the celebrities to sing like a Christmas song for charity.

Speaker 3:

Oh yeah, Like Live Aid.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, he was in one in the 80s and like you could just look at him and he's like everyone here is so shit at music like an absolute, but like to be fair, I think it was this album, or this one, or maybe his first. Like every single instrument that you're hearing, he's like, wow, yeah, a one-man band.

Speaker 3:

Truly, he used to walk the streets with a bass drum on his back.

Speaker 2:

You can be a little bit arrogant if you're Prince.

Speaker 3:

I think you can. Is he the best?

Speaker 2:

musician that's ever lived. I say that he's one of. Everyone always compares him and Michael Jackson. Yeah, but how many kids did he touch? And also, michael Jackson didn't really write much of his own stuff, like he got given a bunch of the stuff or produce it. But prince did everything.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, lord prince, king prince and this just has this like cool little funky instrumental part in the breakdown which is great for talking about. Okay, how's everyone doing? Yeah, fantastic Heaps of energy. Yeah, yeah, that's great how you doing, mikey, we missed you last week. We did. What the hell did we talk about last week again? It was Olympics, pedophiles oh yeah, it was a really nice bright, bright episode. Yeah, we got 10 middles. Really nice bright episode. Yeah, we got 10 middles.

Speaker 3:

New Zealand yeah, is that good? Per capita, you guys were fifth. That's not bad. But in terms of the actual ladder, you weren't fifth.

Speaker 2:

No, yeah. Well, I mean, we had a tiny population. We got the population of Sydney.

Speaker 3:

You know How's Sydney doing at this late stage. How's Sydney doing at what?

Speaker 2:

How many medals did they get?

Speaker 3:

None, did you contribute? I did, yeah. Yeah, I entered the. I was one of the B boys, sweet.

Speaker 2:

Jesus, she is from, no, she's from Melbourne.

Speaker 3:

No, she works at Macquarie. She's a Sydney girl. Oh right, she works at Macquarie University, my alma mater. Do you work?

Speaker 2:

at Macquarie? You don't know.

Speaker 3:

No, no, no, I went there though. Yeah, I tried to do my studies.

Speaker 2:

We're going to talk about it later. I mean, I think we'll um. We'll get into that a bit later and it's a too meaty of a topic and to um I think the topic will get meatier.

Speaker 3:

Meteor think we should I think this whole topic right now, when we're recording on the way with thursday I think this is really important. I think over the next two weeks we're going to see a lot of revelations come out that will be actually backed and then, I think in like six months time, we'll see like a four corners report that comes out about this. But right now it's all conjecture online. I have not found one credible source. The only people that are coming out with a credible source are people like the um olympic committee who are basically just saying, yeah, by our records, this is all above board. But everyone that's saying, oh, she cheated her way in, she's got something naughty.

Speaker 3:

No one's come forward and been like.

Speaker 2:

Here's hard evidence it's just a lot of people being like we should learn from all the hot takes with the algerian boxer, probably before we go out saying all this wild shit, which is actually what we did talk about.

Speaker 3:

do you want to give a quick rundown of what's happened with the?

Speaker 2:

I mean, if you don't know, you actually have never been.

Speaker 3:

you don't go on the internet, Someone at work yesterday turned to me from their desk and said I heard the craziest thing last night Someone was telling me all about the breaking at the Olympics. I was like it's now a week on. Babe, this is not breaking news, please don't bring this to me as juicy gossip.

Speaker 2:

I only saw it like two days ago. Okay.

Speaker 3:

It's been kind of going for a week and a bit.

Speaker 2:

Maybe we need a very popular one, yeah, so basically, there was an Australian woman who competed in the breakdancing and her and Australian women are known for their breaking.

Speaker 3:

Well, we had to send an Australian woman.

Speaker 2:

There had to be an Australian woman. There had to be an Australian woman in the team. So she basically did her performance and it was creative, to say the least. And the judges did not find it creative and she got a flat zero.

Speaker 3:

No, but you only earned points in comparison to other people. Yeah.

Speaker 2:

It was very I would say it was unconventional. Not that I'm a break dancing expert, and she's since come out. Instead, she was trying to be creative and do something original, which I like. I it's going to be my take on this a little bit, but some more of the background.

Speaker 3:

Her name is Rachel Gunn yeah, it goes by Ray Gunn. She works at Macquarie University and did a peer reviewed paper on breakdancing culture and actually how damaging it would be if it gets included in something like the Olympics. Also in background, for this some of the conjecture that's gone around. I don't know if this is true, but it feels like it is because Australia doesn't have a breakdancing body.

Speaker 3:

When it got added into the olympics, when breaking got added into the olympics, it was really difficult to find how they were going to like select people, and so um rachel took it upon herself to start the group that would um basically decide on who goes, which is why people think, oh, she's gerrymandered the whole thing. But the olympic committee actually has a real hand in like looking over how selection processes are done. So it's like not easy for her to turn around and be like I'm gonna set up this competition and only I am gonna win. It's not. That's probably not what's happened, um, but she's she's heavily involved. She has competed overseas, uh, in international breakdancing competitions uh, and she came something like um 48th out of 70. So she's not done awfully, but on the international stage she's obviously not done incredibly. But you know this isn't like her first time she's got up, not her first rodeo yes, you know.

Speaker 2:

Breakio, breakio, that's what they call it in the break dancing community. Some interesting notes I took from re-watching this footage over and over again, because you know it's not all in the dance, yeah um, I saw when, when ray gun first started breaking, there was a gentleman in the crowd and he started to give her two nods and then, on the third nod, his head went up and he tilted his head. I found that very, very funny.

Speaker 3:

As in like confused a little. He was like trying to get into it, trying to give her a chance.

Speaker 2:

I don't know if this guy was like a breakdancer or something, but he's like, oh yeah, oh yeah. And then he went what the hell or something. But he's like, oh yeah, oh yeah. And then he went what the hell, um, and then my other favorite moment was when the other person was break dancing reagan did the yawn thing, which is totally part of the culture, right, but I just thought I was like why are you doing that?

Speaker 3:

people went feral when she, the day after she did that. Whenever I was doing that commentary on how bad it was, people were like and the worst part is this like up jumped, lady knows nothing about break dancing and and she, she like dame to yawn at someone else that was doing this and she was doing her performance. Um, but you're right, it's part of the culture, that kind of like.

Speaker 2:

It's like they do it all the time. Have you guys never seen? Uh, what's step up? But there's the other one, yeah, that one, and they actually the less watched step up three.

Speaker 3:

I'm assuming they get better. Yeah, they do do that all the time. I mean, one of the things is, when it got included in the Olympics, they had to tone down how much like vulgarity they had when they were standing on the sidelines, cause that is part of it, when you're like watching the other person and what they did was something I think it's I can't remember what it's called I I can't remember what it's called. I thought it was called crutching, but basically it's where you like thrust yourself and kind of grab your genitals at the other person to be like, oh yeah, like, so good you got tipped.

Speaker 3:

Sorry to interrupt, that's it. That's it, yeah, but what they still do allowed is the middle finger and when you're doing a dance, it is still a little gritty.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 3:

It? Do you think it'll just end up being a social experiment? Is that what? No, no, I think she is actually into break dancing and I think, um, unfortunately, they set up a competition that wasn't able to pull from every single person particularly. Uh, it's a, it's an art that is taken up by underprivileged people a lot, and they're not going to have the means to travel over to some big competition. They may not even know what's going on. So maybe the selection process didn't pull from all of the best breakdancers, but also, a lot of breakdancers are, um, hobby breakdancers. They don't want to perform on the international stage. They go to meet up with their mates and just, yeah, well, that's where it came from like it came from.

Speaker 2:

I can't remember what city breakdancing came from specifically, but it came from people who had nothing but a piece of cardboard and they put it on the ground and like pretty much invented a whole new style of dancing, um, which is pretty crazy, but you had a.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I was just gonna take it from my perspective because, like, I studied myself a black music which is jazz, right, and I studied it at a university which is like an interesting way of like when you take an art like that and you study it and you're told what, what something is, by a bunch of white people. It's interesting, right, you know. But I just sort of she sort of came out and said that like she was trying to reinvent the wheel and also like this is what breakdancing is and it's about like pushing boundaries and doing all this stuff. And I get that. But I question if she is the person who should be doing that, because I don't feel like I can make a call as a jazz saxophone player and in terms of push, like I could push the genre forward, but I can't make. I don't know. It's like an interesting one that I feel a bit strange about. Do you? Do you guys kind of get what I'm saying? Yeah, I.

Speaker 3:

I feel that a 35 year old white university lecturer probably shouldn't be defining an art form that is not for her, but not for her, you know.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, not of the culture, so to speak, I think that's where the furor of this came from.

Speaker 3:

Is that it's so jarring seeing her get up there and do a breakdance routine that, to my untrained eyes, looks like she's taking the piss out of breakdancing yeah, well, that's why I was questioning whether it was a social experiment, because the tracksuit everything like kind of I don't know about the tracksuit, whether that was like dictated to her by the australian, like olympic committee, because I know they all have the uniforms they're supposed to wear at the sports that they're going to.

Speaker 3:

They can't, like all pick their own clothes, but I do, you know what? I didn't see the male breakdancer, to see that he also had the same uniform on neither.

Speaker 2:

But like, yeah, I guess like with with jazz music, like whenever I play, I feel like I'm always paying homage, because you learn all of the language and how to do this thing from the people who came before and who invented the art form. Um and for I I mean not a breakdancing expert, but I don't think, I think little to no homage was paid in whatever she went out there and did on stage.

Speaker 3:

So yeah, you know, although again, we're not breakdancing experts right that she is demonstrably a breakdancing expert yeah, she's been. She's got a piece of paper that says that she's a breakdancing yeah, that's why also I I say that, yeah, so I think it'll be a meatier story in a few weeks time. Um, oh my god, like he was making the face of the ages but he was just trying to yawn quietly um, I thought I'd said something so vile then.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, um, yeah, I think it'll become a media story over the next couple weeks what do you mean?

Speaker 2:

it's already. It's already a media story.

Speaker 3:

I think it's a media story because of gossip, but I think it's going to become a real meaty, like factual story. Reagan's going to end up in Guantanamo Bay, I think. Yeah, they're going to put terrorism charges. Oh my God, find out more about that in a few weeks' time.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, Well, maybe we'll touch back on that again.

Speaker 3:

I find it very interesting. Yeah, I find it very interesting.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, we have another topic that is Olympics related.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, we do. Starting this week, we've actually entered the Paralympics Very exciting.

Speaker 2:

They roll in from one to the other, don't they?

Speaker 3:

You can't use that phrase. No, sorry, edit. No, we're leaving that in. I'm keeping that one around.

Speaker 3:

But what I realised this week was I actually know nothing about the Paralympics, like the technicality of it. I knew that they existed. I will tell you. The Paralympic TikTok page is one of the funniest TikTok pages you will ever see in your entire life. It is incredible. I can't even describe how good it is. It's like you just have to go see it. Go look up Par paralympics on tiktok. I'm not even going to touch base on that here. That's like a whole episode on its own. What I wanted to talk about today was, uh, things like the selection process, how the sports are divided, how the medals are given out. I realized I knew nothing about any of them. Yeah, I don't know anything either. Um, all I knew is that it's like fun, interesting sports and that the the basketball that they play is like some of the most violent basketball I've ever seen in my life running wheels over each other uh, so the first thing I have is um, there are a ton of different like classifications for all of the different olympians.

Speaker 3:

Um, do you guys want to take a guess at what the broad strokes of them are?

Speaker 2:

that's a lot of words I guess it's like uh, there would be mental like intellectual impairment yes, intellectual impairment.

Speaker 3:

There's actually only one band for intellectual, oh really, and they have a really restricted amount of sports that they can do. Yeah, because intellectual impairment, I think part of the Paralympics is, if your impairment doesn't impair your ability to do a sport, it won't be considered for you to do the Paralympics. In that, like the whole idea is, your impairment needs to have some impact on you being able to actually complete the sport, like Johnny Knoxville in that movie, where he pretended have you seen that there's?

Speaker 2:

no way they could make that movie now. Did he pretend he had an?

Speaker 3:

intellectual impairment to join the Paralympics. Yes, wow, south Park did that as well, much less tactfully. South Park did that, yeah, where Cartman goes.

Speaker 1:

I'm not going to do the impression but it's very offensive.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, very good. Intellectual impairment Very nice, mikey, no Physical. You don't have any other impairments that they might be categorized. Oh, like a limb loss. Yes, limb loss is a very, very common one very, very common one.

Speaker 2:

There's a whole bunch, I guess they don't put them in like a limb loss and physical impairment. Let's say, if someone with cerebral palsy was to do a race versus someone missing a limb, you couldn't really like the gratings, the thing.

Speaker 3:

I'll talk about that in just a second about how they mix and don't mix between people. Physical impairments is what you're talking about. So, um, that's like amputees, um, and they have classifications within this. So there's just like lower limb amputees, so where you've lost from the knee down, and then they have upper limb, where you've lost from like the hip down or, you know, elbow down and shoulder down, um, they have. Cerebral palsy is included in physical impairments as well, but then we just go up against each other. There's like spinal cord injuries, so when you have your legs but they don't work, or have or four, um limbs, what's it called a quadriplegic? Yeah, um, uh, there's, it's called les auteurs, or like other physical impairments, um, so that's like limb deficiencies or ataxia. I'm not sure what that is neither do I.

Speaker 2:

Is that like when you're born with a limb that's not fully functional? Yeah, maybe they've got a whole bunch of short statues in there.

Speaker 3:

There's wheelchair sports specifically, yeah, um. And then there's athletes with like combinations of impairments are also another one, um. There's sports specific classifications, so each of the sports can have their own bundle of classifications when you're going into it so um, for instance, swimming to simplify things, instead of them going.

Speaker 3:

Oh, we're gonna race only the people that have lost, like elbow down arms against people that have lost elbow down arms. They'll classify it into like significant physical impairments, significant visual impairments, medium physical impairments, medium visual impairments, and bundle them all in together against each other.

Speaker 3:

Wow that's so like how, how well, uh, they do it based on your ability to engage with the sport. So cycling is a really good example of that, because, for instance, if you have lost part of one arm or you've lost a whole arm, you would think, oh, is that going to affect your ability to cycle? But what it does affect is your ability to balance on the cycle.

Speaker 3:

And so it depends on how significant it is. And then with some sports I don't think cycling is one of them, but with some sports they'll let people with a variety of physical impairments go up against each other and then you get graded based on how much you're impaired and you get like an additional time or additional penalty or whatever If you've got like a lesser or more affecting impairment for that specific sport. Rowing's in there, there's like archery running. One of the big ones that they have in there, it's the visual impairment.

Speaker 1:

They usually go against each other and then they have two bands for that, where it's either significant visual impairment or you've just got like narrow field of view.

Speaker 2:

I will say something about that, because I saw something recently. I saw a blind man do long jump. Why the hell is the sand pit not wider? Because this guy missed? Right? I'm like, just make it a big circle, like they only have to jump as far as possible, right, I was like. Yeah, a semicircle would be perfect, yeah they just ended up on the like right, ramming his ass into the side of, like you know, that little barrier. I was like just make it a big circle.

Speaker 3:

Maybe they just want to perform on the same pitch and field that the Olympics is on you know.

Speaker 3:

Give them that chance to ram their skull against the concrete. They can come back with a different classification next year. True, sorry, that was my note on visual. That is a very that's a good one. So the limbless ones, that's not a great term, okay, so I'll give you an example. So in all the athletic sports they have something called the T45, which is athletes with a double arm amputation above or below the elbow. So all of the athletes that have both arms amputated, either above or below the elbow, get put into one classification together for the athletic sports.

Speaker 2:

And are they allowed to have the prosthetic limbs or is that a separate category?

Speaker 3:

Yeah, yeah, yeah, it depends on the sport, but I imagine, yeah, they would probably be allowed, because I've seen video of people using prosthetic limbs. Then they have T46 and 47, which is athletes with single arm amputations or equivalent impairments, and these athletes compete in separate categories. So if you get like a t46, you're going to compete against other t46s. If you get a t45, you're competing against other t45s and medals are awarded within these classifications. So each of the classifications will get their own medal yeah, that makes sense yeah, uh.

Speaker 3:

So that's the broad strokes of it. Um, the sports that you can do, like I mentioned are, are defined by how much engaging with them with your impairment would affect it. So, for instance, visual impairment. Their sports are athletics, cycling, something called goalball, which I think is I thought it was a wheelchair thing, but Svetlana is going to fill in now what goalball is thing, but I'm Svetlana's gonna fill in now what goalball is.

Speaker 1:

Goalball is a team sport played indoors by athletes with vision impairment. The object of the game is to roll the ball into the opponent's goal, while the opposing players try to block the ball with their bodies. Bells inside the ball help orientate the players by indicating the direction of the oncoming ball uh thanks, fanny thank you so much for you.

Speaker 3:

Honestly, I don't know how you know when are we gonna start paying here, do you know? Oh, no, she pays for the privilege. Okay, she loves giving us information. It's a dream to be on the show. Do you know? We have that competition, that selection competition, the reality tv show. You want to be a well basiker yeah, that's true.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, does she have her own voice, or is it yours?

Speaker 3:

that's fetty's, fveti's, sveti's a real woman.

Speaker 2:

She's right there. What are you talking about?

Speaker 3:

She's looking great.

Speaker 1:

Thank you so much.

Speaker 3:

So visual impairments also have judo, they have rowing, they have swimming, shooting, triathlon, physical impairments they can basically do almost any sport, but it's defined by the kind of impairment. So amputees have access to a whole bunch of like wheelchair, basketballs and canoes, athletics and cycling. Cerebral palsy has a much smaller number of sports that they can do. They have like football, seven-a-side or swimming or cycling Interesting as well. On all the sporting games there's like a. They use the weighting system but all the teams generally try to have the same composition of different impairments on the team to try to balance each other out and so they don't need to do too much gerrymandering and like a seven a side game, because I'll have some people with cerebral palsy and some people to have a prosthetic leg and some people with a prosthetic arm and you might just have them do different positions within the field. Yeah, spinal cord injuries it's very heavy on the wheelchairs, obviously, and archery as well, a little bit of archery.

Speaker 2:

Do they have? I have a question Do they, if you have, if you're a double arm amputee, a T45, is that what that's?

Speaker 3:

called. Yeah, I think it was T45, t45, yeah, t45. In athletics.

Speaker 2:

Do they have archery as an option?

Speaker 3:

Yes, no, no Amputees. Oh yeah, amputees can do archery, yep.

Speaker 2:

So I'm wondering if there are people doing archery with their feet. I need to watch that. I mean that would be incredible. I have a feeling. Well, they do it in St Duce away and those are able bodied people. So I imagine you know, yeah, maybe.

Speaker 3:

I think we showed Dexter's foot. Yeah, it's a person I want to meet. Anyone whose feet can do that much Woo. What a world I'm going to go Some of the less the ailments with like less sports available to them people of short stature, they're called SS. That was funny, Considering what the SS would have done. They can only do athletics, powerlifting and swimming. I want to watch the powerlifting.

Speaker 2:

The powerlifting is good. It's also real wild. I've watched some of it because they have such short limbs, like the range of motions like really small, so like a bench press. You see it move like two, two centimeters and it's like amazing. It's incredible. Also, they're so strong, like incredibly strong, because they have a low center of gravity.

Speaker 3:

I mean it would be great, great powerlifting, and there's a whole bunch here that I wish I'd looked up but I haven't. But it's the hypertonia, ataxia and acetosis, but maybe I'll make that. My homework for next week is to just work out what those are. You can hear next week what those three words mean.

Speaker 2:

Because I don't know Neither Well Svetlana can pull that in.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, Svetlana.

Speaker 2:

Stop typing on the keyboard, listen, listen. She's watching YouTube videos again.

Speaker 1:

Go for it sweaty. Thanks, boys. So hypertonia is a condition in which there is too much muscle tone so that arms or legs, for example, are stiff and difficult to move. Ataxia is a loss of muscle control. So people with ataxia lose muscle control in their arms and legs. This may lead to a lack of balance and coordination and trouble walking. Athetosis is a movement dysfunction. It's characterized by involuntary writhing movements. These movements may be continuous, slow and rolling. They may also make maintaining a symmetrical and stable posture difficult.

Speaker 3:

Wow, how did you? I just Off the top of your head as well. She's very fast, she's so difficult. Wow, how did you.

Speaker 2:

I just off the top of your head as well.

Speaker 3:

She's very fast she's, so smart she's very fast. Wow, so that's the other one. Another interesting little thing that I found was deaf people are not included in any Paralympic sports. They are not welcome, and they have their own Olympics called the Deaflympics. Oh, which, what sports?

Speaker 2:

I mean team sports yeah, yeah, for communication, I guess. But, what else? Yeah, yeah, I'm trying to think. Running you wouldn't be able to hear the sun and go, yeah, but you just put like little electrodes on their nips.

Speaker 3:

It's going to shock.

Speaker 2:

I'd rather be blind than deaf. Honestly, I don't know if I'm I think I'd rather be blind than deaf. Honestly, I don't know if I'm, I think I'd like both. Is this the episode that's appropriate to make this call?

Speaker 3:

Probably. Yeah, I don't know, I don't know. I I am happy being able to see in here but do you know? What People that, uh, um, blind always talk about having like really heightened senses, and deaf had really heightened senses, so blind always talk about having like really heightened senses and deaf had really heightened senses. So maybe it'd be fun to like for me. I'd rather be deaf than blind. Really yeah.

Speaker 2:

No, I don't need to hear. I need to hear.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, I'd rather go blind.

Speaker 2:

There's a song called I'd rather go blind. It's such a good song, yeah.

Speaker 3:

I'd rather go blind.

Speaker 2:

Pretty much, pretty much, like I know that you have never heard the song, but like it's kind of like that I'm happy to be.

Speaker 3:
