Transcript

SPEAKER_01 0:01

Well, we're live again. Yes. We're um to be honest I think we're exhausted.

SPEAKER_00 0:09

It was pretty exhausting.

SPEAKER_01 0:11

Yeah. Then we had to find our way all the way back to the pub. Oh with Surf Lifesaving Club. North Cliff.

SPEAKER_00 0:17

North Cliff, yeah. Hello to all our friends at North Cliff Surf Lifesaving Club. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 0:23

We have our own private booth. Yeah. With our own private TV.

SPEAKER_00 0:27

Well, the blues uh blues up at half time, which is always a dangerous thing.

SPEAKER_01 0:32

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_00 0:33

Anyway, don't feel worried tonight. No, I think we'll figure it out. We've had our big had our big day.

SPEAKER_01 0:39

Like that was a day though where we seem to attract obnoxious opposition. That column of bloke behind us. It was awful at marathon. Yeah. Yeah. What else are we doing? We should uh shout out to the marathon on the Gold Coast, uh, the Gold Coast Marathon tomorrow morning.

SPEAKER_00 1:01

Yeah, for all of you listening tonight, uh getting ready for the Gold Coast Marathon in the morning.

SPEAKER_01 1:06

I'm sure they're listening. I'm sure they've they'll probably have this in there, you know, when they run along with their music in there really, they'll probably have this guy. They're listening to pilots. Yeah, yeah. Of course they will. Yeah, we give it quite motivational, I would sure.

SPEAKER_00 1:18

Yeah. I'll give you a tip. Uh left foot, right foot, left foot, right foot, left, right, left foot. One in front of the other. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. And do that.

SPEAKER_01 1:26

How many how many steps would you take during the marathon? Oh.

SPEAKER_00 1:31

So if you if you'd run about a meter per stride, I reckon. That's 42,000 steps. Oh. That's a lot of steps, isn't it? I I'm pretty happy when I get over 10,000.

SPEAKER_01 1:41

The other thing I'd get is how do they running those ridiculous runners? They're like running on jelly.

SPEAKER_00 1:47

Yeah. But that's what they love. And also, um, the other one we should shout out to is all of the Tour de France riders who are getting ready for the overnight start. Um, they'll be listening. Oh, they are they starting like now?

SPEAKER_01 2:00

No, they no, can you looked it up and it was like 1.55 in the morning or something because they're starting in Spain in Barcelona and doing a Honestly, I can't keep up with the amount of sport that's on the or not, uh. So the probably the wallabies are playing and wallabies, they won't be listening to us.

SPEAKER_00 2:15

I don't think they listen. Probably not. It's not the sort of sport you can listen to a podcast uh while you're um, well no, they're their ears are taped to their head.

SPEAKER_01 2:24

So you tape it so the airpods in? You could actually. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 2:29

Well, why couldn't you? I do think you'll probably want to listen to your mates' uh instructions. So more important than whose whose pants you're gonna hold up when you throw them up in the uh throw in.

SPEAKER_01 2:46

It is bizarre how exhausting a game of football could be when you're sitting in in the stand.

SPEAKER_00 2:53

Absolutely wasted. Well, you were much more emotionally engaged than I was too, and I'm still tired.

SPEAKER_01 2:59

Well, it's actually extra because I've already watched them draw this year. I didn't need to watch another one.

SPEAKER_00 3:04

It was yeah, that was on the cards.

SPEAKER_01 3:06

That was that was because gold perk is the goal with three minutes to go. Three minutes. No, no, no.

SPEAKER_00 3:11

No, like one minute. One minute or less. Now 30 seconds, I think, yeah, because the guy had the 30 second sign up just as they kicked that goal.

SPEAKER_01 3:19

And then Nick stays for a free kick, got it. Beautiful.

SPEAKER_00 3:21

Yeah. I like how he celebrated getting a free kick. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 3:25

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Mate, it's not over. Can you kick the ball? And then he knew. He puts it down someone's throat. He knew, he knew. Not a bad player that way.

SPEAKER_00 3:36

Yeah, you may have mentioned that once or twice for sure. Oh yeah. Yeah. Carlton's playing. Don't know why Ollie Holland's back of the team. You're not happy. You you Carlton Well, I'm not happy with that. Why is he tries hard, but actually I haven't seen Blakers, so don't tell me they dropped acres to put on it. What number is Blackers? I think so, 13. Um I don't remember seeing that.

SPEAKER_01 4:01

If you're 10 years old, that would be 13. 13. 13. 13. What um let me just uh confirm for our listeners whether Blackers is actually playing.

SPEAKER_00 4:14

Yeah. Yeah. Oh, it doesn't look good. No. So maybe he's injured, maybe that's why Holland's came in. They wouldn't have dropped him. He's been playing really well. No, not in. Not in at all. They haven't dropped him.

SPEAKER_01 4:30

Maybe that's why your mate came in. Anyway. Did I mention Collingwood got it? Uh yeah.

SPEAKER_00 4:37

Yeah. I was thrilled to hear it again anyway, so thanks.

SPEAKER_01 4:40

Yeah, well, we were keen to. Dominic, we were having a beer at what is it? 10 to 5 to 9 on a Saturday evening. And we're keen to go home and watch the Collinsbury play. When you say we and by we I mean me.

SPEAKER_00 4:57

I'll tell you what we have found out is they eat early up here. Oh yeah. It's like five o'clock. When I when I came in to uh I walked past this this morning and um came in and said I'd you know we can the public come into the club? You have to be a member of the life saving club to come in. And she was like, No, no, you can come in, come in and and um he's very busy tonight though, and and I said, Okay, so she said I recommend you book. So I said, okay, uh we'll book at um uh we're going to the colony game first, so we'll be back maybe we'll book about 7.30 and she said, Oh, that'll be fine if you we have no problems with the late bookings. 7.30 was a late booking.

SPEAKER_01 5:39

Melbourne would be a normal booking, I reckon. Like seriously, I reckon it's an hour to an hour and a half.

SPEAKER_00 5:43

When you go out, you wouldn't book. Maybe seven o'clock. We we we generally go out if we book would be seven at the earliest.

SPEAKER_01 5:52

Early it's gonna be seven thirty for us. I reckon normally we would be 8.39.

SPEAKER_00 5:57

Yeah, right. So you definitely would not think that 7.30 was a late. Yeah. Early to bed, early to rise. Well, I haven't got a bill.

SPEAKER_01 6:11

Oh, yes. Oh, the full marathon, I should say.

SPEAKER_00 6:13

Well, we don't know whether he's gonna run the full one.

SPEAKER_01 6:15

We just figure it's all on the showing the incident.

SPEAKER_00 6:22

Martin's seen a squirrel.

SPEAKER_01 6:23

It was the first proper fight at half time I've seen for years. Like a problem fight.

SPEAKER_00 6:29

Oh, they're looking at the umpire. Oh, Maynard, Maynard touched the umpire. Oh, he's gone right into the umpire. Did he really or not? I think so. Look, here it is, here it again is. Oh, he's got two hands on the umpire, he's gone. Yeah, for the rest of the season.

SPEAKER_01 6:46

Did he really? Oh.

SPEAKER_00 6:48

And so did Took Miller. Oh, there's a bit of sort of slappy, happy, happy, slappy stuff. And uh serious, there'll be serious repercussions. Touching an umpire. Do you ever have um repercussions that are not serious? People always say there are serious there will be serious repercussions.

SPEAKER_01 7:12

Because the word repercussion sort of it implies serious. You can't have uh there's not really positive repercussions, are there? Yeah, so here's another replay of No, he got pushed in. The bloke behind him pushed him in, yeah. And I'm gonna I'm gonna take a call in with you.

SPEAKER_00 7:34

Oh here's another angle. I do believe that his hand Miller is at uh remember Greg Williams getting suspended for nine matches hitting the umpire. Greg Williams, up on the screen now. Umpire contact suspend suspension. Fren Harvey. Fren Harvey Toby Green six. He could miss the toilet final. Is that all he did? That Toby Green, we're just seeing we're just seeing replays of umpire contact.

SPEAKER_01 8:15

Well, Maino's out forever.

SPEAKER_00 8:17

That must be why they're showing it. Oh he oh he sort of bumped up. Yeah, that was had some intent against the umpire, whereas Maino, the umpire, just got in the way. I think Maino, I don't what I don't know is whether he got pushed in. Oh, it's all drama. It was quite a drama-packed incident-filled game. Yeah, we nearly had a fight too with the guy behind us, so he started really playing out on um Ben Long, who is a bit of a he was being a bit of a dick.

SPEAKER_01 8:55

He probably should have thought Ben. Yeah, Ben Ben Ben was not great. Yeah, yeah. Young Ben.

SPEAKER_00 9:02

Martin and I nearly had to stand up for the dad with his little kid next to him. That was that was pretty happy. He said said something and then bloke sort of toned it down a little bit.

SPEAKER_01 9:14

He wasn't happy there.

SPEAKER_00 9:15

Yeah. That's was I think what triggered it was the I just remember now what he said was uh long, you're going over the fucking body bag.

SPEAKER_01 9:25

Oh yeah, it's a bit rough, isn't it?

SPEAKER_00 9:27

Yeah, so okay. That's you know, that's when the bloke said, oh mate, you know, tone it down a bit, there's kids around. Fair enough.

SPEAKER_01 9:35

He wasn't happy with he was refusing the he refused the fact in some interesting language, but he refused the fact that he should turn it down.

SPEAKER_00 9:45

He did. He did. I thought I'd get up and support this guy and say, you know, look, I'm a neutral fan, and then I realised that I've got my gold poster t-shirt on, and then I thought, oh no, I'll just say, no, I just got it for today. I'm really a Carlton supporter, which in which case he beat me in the head again. So I thought better of it, and uh thankfully he kind of toned down and Collingwood won, so that was okay. I wonder what he would have done if he had been a draw though or some dodgy umpire decision.

SPEAKER_02 10:21

That's interesting watching that footage of umpire contact.

SPEAKER_00 10:27

Yeah. Well, we might um shall we sign off this podcast? I think that's been an excellent day. Thank you very much. It's been a big day. Has been a big day. We started uh started with a with a uh check-in in the morning, having breakfast forecast this morning.

SPEAKER_01 10:46

Uh weekend.

SPEAKER_00 10:50

I hope we're gonna spend something pleasurable for those.

SPEAKER_01 10:53

So are we gonna combine this into like a well?

SPEAKER_00 10:56

I think this last part might be all these recordings from this afternoon. Well, it's for us to know and them to find out. Inappropriate upright contact or something. Inappropriate contact. Inappropriate touching. Oh wow. Yeah, what would uh well think about it. We don't need to because there's no point in talking about it on the podcast, because by the time we publish the podcast, we will have thought about it, in which case this will be a really boring.

SPEAKER_01 11:30

All right, shutting up.

SPEAKER_00 11:31

All right, thank you very much. Good night to everybody. Uh we will be back again shortly. Good night, Mutt.
