SPEAKER_00 0:12

Good evening and welcome to Sports Bears with episode number 20. We've made it this far. 2020. Indeed, with more frivolity, fun, and of course, pharaons, with Mr. Martin Winnell, aka the dog, and myself, John Briggs, or Briggsy, as some of you prefer to call me, the only podcast you'll ever need in your life because we hit all the open cracks, Martin, in all the sports, all the time. Because we do. Sport is life, and life is sport.

SPEAKER_01 0:43

What's happening? Martin. We've kicked off. It's all great. It's all magnificent. Formula One today. Yes. The fourth uh uh V8 race of the weekend this afternoon. Yep. It's been three absolute crackers so far. Brilliant. Uh AFL is now officially on the go. NRL's on the go. Rugby union's still going. Soccer's getting to its climax. So uh we're all uh so's uh basketball, that's getting to a to an endpoint as well. Wonderful. So it's just so much sport. There is the cricket's still flying, certainly is not overly interesting cricket, but the cricket's still going. Well, you got what your shield as well, but you know, it doesn't get a lot of exposure, does it, from the media? No, no, it doesn't get anything. Yeah, it should. You know, it's still important, but anyway.

SPEAKER_00 1:40

We have we have what? You keep going. I'm gonna keep going because Martin has forgotten the most important thing and he has forgotten the liquid. So as he disappears from the room for a second, I'm just gonna keep crapping on because it's a wonderful day. It is a wonderful day for British sport. And of course, in Australia, it couldn't get any better, could it?

SPEAKER_01 2:08

Did you just take the opportunity to go British sport? What's that all about? Oh look indeed, why not? Give him three seconds unhindered and he's straight into this garbage. What are we talking about? Well, I was just just using it as a bit of an opening to talk about the uh the Formula One. However, we'll wait for that because it's I'm just building. Oh, it's been it's been taken over by uh by the union, hasn't it?

SPEAKER_00 2:34

Uh uh Formula One. But I'm building.

SPEAKER_01 2:37

So, Martin, I thought before we go into your main thing, we'll just do a few quick bites. Absolutely. But before that, I do have a joke. Well, that'll be fun. And uh, I know. Well, there was a Scotsman at a bar with his kilt, bagpipes, and spot on.

SPEAKER_00 2:55

And this posh woman walks over to him, very well dressed, and she says, Is it true what they say about Scotsman and what they have under their kilt? And he goes, I lassi, it is.

SPEAKER_01 3:12

She goes, Oh, that's gruesome. And he goes, It'll gruuse some more if you're lucky. I thought it was gonna go a different direction with some ugly bagpipes. D-irection or just a direction? Well, I think you've already summed that up.

SPEAKER_00 3:30

Blow the pipes.

SPEAKER_01 3:32

Anyway, gotta keep them clean. Indeed, we do. What have you got? Beyond the bagpipes. Okay, four times Tour de France winner. Pogga car. I don't know if that's have you got that right, do you think? Probably not. That's all right. Run the Strade Beyonce for a fourth time. I was just thinking you were gonna say is suspended. No, no, no, no. No, 204 kilometre race. Yeah, starting and ending in Sienna. Luke Littler from the Darts World, the 17-year-old, 45-year-old. Yes. Uh is into the quarterfinals of the UK Open. Um, cricket Baz has been very fortunate, I reckon, to be uh still in a job. They've allowed him to continue. Oh, is that official? Yeah. I know, I don't like it.

SPEAKER_00 4:26

Well, there you go. Tennis, Britain's Jack Draper and Sonia Cartel both have wins in the Indian Wells.

SPEAKER_01 4:33

Indian Wells is quite a big tournament. Yes. Absolutely. I mean, Jack Draper is top ten, or should be, he's actually 16 now, but he got injured and he's coming back from injury. That happens. He's around six in the world. I feel I feel we've glossed over. We've we've glossed over that. Yes, and I think this is right for me. This is a cheers. Oh frothy. Yes, this is a uh big pale ale from the good people at Stone and Wood again. Nice cheers, mate.

SPEAKER_03 5:08

Thank you.

SPEAKER_01 5:09

Uh yeah, big cheers for the bit you glossed over there. What did I gloss over? Baz. What about getting getting restated? If if there's one good thing for Australia that could happen in world sport right now, it's Brendan McCullum having his contract extended. Yeah. That is secure Aussie gold right there. I agree. We thought winning gold in the Olympics was great. I mean, it is, but that's even better. That's just secured us the next ashes. Probably, well, it it could well do. However, yeah, I'm not a fan of it. There you go. I'm a big fan. I will continue just quickly.

SPEAKER_00 5:50

Lionel Messi is one goal away from 900 career goals, which is incredible, really.

SPEAKER_01 5:57

Pretty certain Ronaldo is the only other person who will achieve that particular milestone. You've taken my next question. Right, there you go. I was gonna say, has anyone Ronaldo did it last year. Yeah, okay. So he's not far in front then? Nah. Can only be a handful. Yeah, exactly. And in the FA Cup, no shocks overnight. Arsenal beat Mansfield, who were the giant killers. Liverpool beat Wolves. Well that's sort of funny because Wolves beat Liverpool earlier in the week in the Premier League. Oh. So this is in the FA Cup. Liverpool got their own back. Which which which game had the Liverpool first 11 playing in which didn't? Well, actually, it should be the Premier League that did, because in fact they probably did. In fact, they did. And yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, I did because I saw the highlights. Anyway, so and then we've got Chelsea ended the hopes of the glamour club at Wrexham. Oh no. Poor Wrexham. Well, no one likes Chelsea either, anyway. So exactly. Yes. Didn't that used to be the worst insult in England in the 80s? Was if you were called a Chelsea lover? Oh, 70s. I'm sure the goodies used to do it all the time. Yeah, even as a five-year-old, you know. Yeah. Arsenal. You're a Chelsea lover and your mother wears army boots. Yeah. Leeds play Norwich tonight in the FA Cup. And your lot, West Aim. Played Brentford on Tuesday. Alf Garnet supported West Aim. West Aim. Alf who? Garnet. Smart man. Sitcom. English sitcom. Anyway. So, Martin, you've got a few bits and pieces. Well, there's a lot going on. AFL NRL. Right. Let's start there. Yeah. Goodness me. There's some good things in the AFL. There's some stuff to be excited about in opening round. The round that doesn't count. Yeah. We've had one good game. Yeah. So far. Very odd result. The double reigning premiere's Brisbane. Playing the Bulldogs at home. Yeah. Went down by five points. Unexpected. I saw that. Oh, great game, though. Really, really good game. Yep. All the other games were a bit of a blowout. Yeah. Swans dominated Carlton with a 12-goal third quarter and then just had fun from there. Hammered them. Well, we're talking about Carlton last week, weren't we? Yeah. What are they likely to do? Not very much. They're in trouble. What about the Suns? Suns. The Suns won. Well, Geelong played in the grand final, who the Suns were playing against, albeit up here, we know that. Yeah. Blew out to 85 points up the Gold Coast during the third quarter. They all did them, though, aren't they? Yes, yeah. But Geelong are still, they're a great team. So to be to be 85 points up in less than three quarters was dominating. It was crazy.

SPEAKER_03 8:52

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 8:53

Um and then they put the queue in the rack.

SPEAKER_03 8:55

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 8:56

And uh got through injury free, and Geelong flattered themselves and scored six of the last seven goals. Yeah. So that means nothing. And GWS Hawthorne the same. Yeah. GWS were much better all game long. Yeah. Got out to a 30-odd point, 30, 40 points, and then just pulled the pulled the uh pulled the pin. Isn't that interesting? Yeah, you're about right with your overview there. But here's the thing I'm going to say about the AFL. The midfield structure of play has changed in the last two or three years. Um and it's become a lot more forceful and attacking. Right. So uh you're getting midfielders now that are six foot five.

SPEAKER_00 9:36

So the game's changing.

SPEAKER_01 9:38

Game is changing and it's leading to a lot more scoring.

SPEAKER_03 9:41

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 9:42

Now I think we are heading towards some full forward glory days.

SPEAKER_03 9:49

Okay. Good.

SPEAKER_01 9:50

So the the the big thing in the AFL, if you're a full forward, is can you kick a hundred goals in a season? Remembering there's 20, there used to be 22 games, there's now 23 games in the season. So you've got to average four goals a game, which is pretty hard to do. Right. Um back in the glory days in the 90s, we had Tony Modra from Adelaide. We had Jason Dunstall from Hawthorne, Tony Lockett from St Kilda and Sydney, and of course Gary Ablett Sr. Yeah from Geelong. These guys did a hundred goals in the regular season, no finals, so many times between the four of them. They all played at the same time. It was glorious. These guys, well, I can remember going to games for the Crows and watching Tony Modra kick 13 goals by himself. Yeah. That's a whole team score now.

SPEAKER_00 10:44

Spread out.

SPEAKER_01 10:45

Now, yeah, very different styles of play. Yeah. But they were amazing days to have those four guys. Now, I reckon this season and next season, the way the game is, well, I reckon we'll have a hundred goal season. May take finals, but I think we'll get someone there. Jeremy Cameron was very close last year at Geelong. Yeah. He could still do it. Hasn't been done since Lance Franklin did it about a decade ago. Right. Ben King, Gold Coast, could do it. Riley Philthorpe from Adelaide could do it. Not sure Sam Darcy's ready yet from the Bulldogs, but I reckon he's he's in the future. He's a chance. There's about five full forwards who I would legitimately say could kick a hundred goals in a season, which would be incredible. Yeah. So bring it on, AFL. Let's get these guys there.

SPEAKER_00 11:37

But as you know, first match, you said this to me many times, Martin, that you can't really tell.

SPEAKER_01 11:44

You get a decently shorter picture, but yeah, you get a basic. Yeah. So when are Adelaide playing? Uh next week. This is the opening round. There's only five games. Right. Don't know why it's there. Nobody really understands it. We play Collingwood next weekend.

SPEAKER_00 11:58

Oh, you're playing my team.

SPEAKER_01 11:59

Yes, we are over at the MCG as well. So we kind of know what Adelaide will do. Right. I don't think Adelaide will be too different from last year, which is, I mean, we finished top, blew the finals completely, but we we finished top. Collingwood's going to be interesting. Heaps of defensive players injured, and they got rid of three of their forwards that were marking targets. Yeah. So Collingwood's going to be intriguing to see what they can produce. Depends what they've got coming up through the don't know. The prevailing perception. It's not a lot.

SPEAKER_03 12:38

Oh.

SPEAKER_01 12:38

So, but that's Collingwood all over, is they don't have a lot, and then suddenly they produce this stuff out of nowhere. So it'll be really interesting to see what they put together.

SPEAKER_03 12:48

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 12:49

NRL. Yeah. NRL's going. It's uh it's had some craziness this round. I did say. So, first of all, we've got Las Vegas kicked in. We know that. We talked about that. Knights and Bulldogs. Then the massive game, Storm and Parramatta. Uh-huh. The Zach Lomax showdown. Yep. Nope. No. Storm smashed him. Parramatta didn't even show up. Yeah. So 52 to 4. Ridiculous. On the Thursday night. That is really strange. And what do we know about losing by 50? Gone. In the history of the NRL. No team has ever won it after losing one match. No, not by losing. By having one match where your opposition scores 50 against you.

SPEAKER_03 13:37

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 13:37

Once they've scored 50 against you, you won't win the premiership from there. You're done. It's just a weird score, anyway. I mean, especially Parramatta have been one of the top teams for years. Yeah, they've been relatively consistent the last few years. Warriors pulled out one of their little jobbies where they just played like they're the best team of the comp and decimated Daily Cherry Evans in his first game for the Roosters. Right. So blew them off the park over there in New Zealand.

SPEAKER_02 14:06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 14:07

Then we came back here.

SPEAKER_02 14:08

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 14:09

The Reigning Premier Brisbane. I know. Whoops. I know. When was the last time the Reigning Premier's played their first home game the next season and got held to zero?

SPEAKER_03 14:23

It's just crazy. I just don't think it's ever happened.

SPEAKER_01 14:26

It is against Penrith. Great team. And they're going to be top two this year. Yeah. Again. They had a terrible season last year. And still made a prelim. Yeah. So yeah, they're going to be a top two threat this year. More than likely. But Cronulla. Well, poor old Gold Coast Titans. I don't even see. Word for word. I know. Oh, I don't know what to say about the Titans.

SPEAKER_00 14:52

You know, we've got the we're on the same page, but they're almost the same page. They're I don't know what they're going to do.

SPEAKER_01 14:58

I don't know how they're going to do it. Yeah. I don't know what they're going to do. Yeah. Maybe they'll just keep losing by 40. Yeah. Who knows? And then the cracker. Manley versus Canberra. Yeah. We're talking full-time, one point. Canberra 29, Manley 28. In uh some pretty wet conditions. Yeah, even down down to Sydney. As well. Yeah. Yeah. So Canberra off to a start after finishing top last year.

SPEAKER_03 15:23

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 15:23

Get their wins, so that's all good.

SPEAKER_03 15:25

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 15:25

And uh as we speak right now, the uh South Sydney Rabbitos are up over the Dolphins. Yeah. So 24 to 10, just leading into half time. Yeah. I think you'd expect that. So yeah, it's up here. Yeah. It's up here though. But the Dolphins have faltered a little bit. They're not as strong as they were in their first season. So the NRL and AFL are flying. They are. All I can say is bring on more AFL. It's good, it's good starts, you know, good exciting, exciting stuff. Some crazy. Yeah. Crazy stuff going on there. Now, can I can I just go woohoo? Formula one. You can. Georgie Russell. My tip for the win got the win. Uh let's just driving for Mercedes. Yeah, very nice.

SPEAKER_00 16:13

So unless I'm very much mistaken. I am very much mistaken. Oh, Murray. Where have you been hiding? Oh look, we I thought we'd bring him up. You know, because quote, I don't make many mistakes. I make prophecies that immediately turn out to be wrong. It's beautiful. It's linguistic genius. Absolutely. Yeah. So anyway, let's just move on.

SPEAKER_01 16:42

Oh no. Oh no. Oscar Bravo. Oscar Bravo. What happened to Oscar? I don't actually know.

SPEAKER_00 16:50

You don't know. I should keep you away from this one, Martin.

SPEAKER_01 16:53

Did he not make it? Well, you know what? Do you know what Oscar Bravo actually stands for? The actual real meaning of the phrase or term. No. It actually did. This is the irony of all of this. I've been waiting for this all day. It means out of bounds. Oscar bravo means out of bounds. Yes. Where did we get this from? Well, no, look it up. Look it up. It's a term. So Oscar lived up to that. Oh, which corner? Which on the first lap. It wasn't even that. It was driving to the grid. That's a good enough money.

SPEAKER_03 17:32

What did he do?

SPEAKER_01 17:36

He smashed it or it just didn't work. Oh, it's falling apart. He piastried it.

SPEAKER_03 17:48

No way.

SPEAKER_01 17:49

That is that is unbelievably disappointing and hilarious all at the same time. And I say that as quite a big fan of Oscar's work so far.

SPEAKER_00 18:04

He's a big Oscar fan, isn't it?

SPEAKER_01 18:06

Oh yes, I've got some friends that are there to see Oscar. Oh dear.

SPEAKER_00 18:11

But anyway, that's just a beautiful moment.

SPEAKER_01 18:14

So do we have moving forward? I don't like the term, and I can't believe it's just slipped out of my mouth moving forward. Yeah. I feel we may be having a semi-regular spot on this podcast as an Oscar moment. Well, why not? Yeah. It's an OM. An OM. I like it. It's an OM and Oscar moment. Not quite getting to the start line. I'll tell you who did it originally. Uh uh downhill skier. Uh Lindsay Vaughn. Oh, yeah. One could argue that was not quite getting to the start line. Well I mean she did, but she technically fell over it. Exactly. And then crashed and burned on the first corner.

SPEAKER_00 18:57

Now it now it's all about her and the recovery. Yes, I've seen that too.

SPEAKER_01 18:59

That's but it's an Oscar moment.

SPEAKER_00 19:03

It is. So anyway, Murray would have loved it.

SPEAKER_01 19:06

That would have been very funny. Now your your new fella, you spoke about last week. I know he had some car issues getting out the pits. I don't know if he stalled it or if it broke. Do we know? Uh I think he finished, which let's face it, if you're in your first drive in Formula One and you get to the end, you've done a pretty good job. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So he definitely finished. Have they got the full race results up as yet? Let's have a look. I couldn't see him. He's only 18, as we mentioned last week. Yeah, here we go. Here we go. Well, we know he's not last. I think he was. Oh my goodness, Piastri isn't last.

unknown 19:49

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 19:50

Oh, maybe that's just alphabetical order. I think so.

SPEAKER_00 19:54

Piastri was out.

SPEAKER_01 19:55

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Out. No, this is the race results. So this must be in order. So what happened to Holkenberg? He's out too. But he's below Piastri. Yeah, yeah, because he he didn't finish either. But they would normally put them in the order of I don't know. Don't know. Okay. No idea. Where's your fella? Eighths. I was gonna say eighth. No. Right in my mind. Oh, he is too. Lindblad. He is brilliant. An eighth spot and he's got a lot of big things. How did he get that? He's good. That is a jolly good effort. Yeah, he's good. I was following I couldn't see it, but I was following the texts. And Antonelli, second. Yeah. Antonelli, like Russell, had some really good drives last year, but they didn't result in anything major. He was qualifying low and driving really, really well to finish around 10th. Mercedes have obviously got it together, and then uh Leclerc and Hamilton. So the Ferraris are back. Did Lewis finish third or fourth? Fourth. Okay. Yep. Yeah. And Leclerc. Yeah. Yeah, only 0.6 between them. Yeah. Yeah, only Yeah. Well, there you go. Well, there you are, you see. Beautiful. I'm pretty certain Britain may have had five in the top eight. Well, you got Lawson. He's a Brit, isn't he? You bet. He was 13th. Uh Albon isn't. Gasly isn't. Ocon isn't. Bortoletto wouldn't be. Definitely not. Maybe we didn't have five. Beerman. Maybe good name. No. Yeah. Beerman. Is he English? I don't know. I got a feeling he is. United Kingdom. Right, there you go. So you had Russell first. Lewis. Hamilton fourth. Norris. Norris fifth. Yeah. Beerman seventh. Yeah. And Lindblad in eighth. Well, how about that? Because I I've, you know, there's no question. The red coats are coming. When I think. British Formula One drivers. And I think of the famous ones.

SPEAKER_00 22:08

Yeah, James Harold.

SPEAKER_01 22:09

Arid Lindblad.

SPEAKER_00 22:11

Yeah, but his father's Swedish.

SPEAKER_01 22:13

Arid is uh is definitely a name that comes to mind as being that um that that English. But is he English or is he British? No, he's English. Says United Kingdom. How come you United Kingdom in the Formula One? In England. So there you go. Well, that's a big first race. Isn't it? Oscar. Oscar Crash Crashry. Oh, yeah, he did crash. Oscar Crashtri. That works. That works. Ouch. We poor Oscar. Oh no. Oh, you can't do it. Bad luck. I can and I will. We before you bring in your wacky sport, I have a hit in the crack. Yes, please. Of course, we do have pass one and present.

SPEAKER_00 23:07

The past one is actually a real sporting event, not silly humour or anything like that. But one of the most incredible moments in sport.

SPEAKER_01 23:17

1968 Olympics in Mexico. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And a bit of altitude. Yeah. And that well, that is a contributing factor. However, Bob Beaman. Well, the least of the century. We do know Bob. Yes. We all know Bob. And what made this even more amazing was a few. One was he was an orphan and he was like dragged up with nothing. And mainly. It was his first jump. It was a he was a orphan, did you say? Yeah. So he didn't really have the best jump. Is that a contributing factor to him being a good long jumper?

SPEAKER_00 23:54

No, no, no, no. He's saying it's fight against the odds.

SPEAKER_01 23:56

Oh, against the odds, yeah. Oh, I thought maybe being an orphan makes you a better jumper.

SPEAKER_00 24:01

Being a black guy, uh in America in the 60s, um, 50s growing up, um, alienated, segregated, not having the best of anything.

SPEAKER_01 24:12

I think probably having the basically the worst of everything. Yes, yes, and then becoming the best of the world at something. It's remarkable. No, no, that's uh that's that's the story you love. So, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 24:22

So he only had one jump, and it was so long that it was beyond the limit of the measuring equipment that they had there and then, and they had to add to the measuring equipment. It was almost like two feet, 21 inches, almost 22 inches further than the previous red jump. That is mad, absolutely crazy.

SPEAKER_01 24:45

Eight meters, 90 centimetres. Now, here's a question. Eight meters that would that would have won the last Olympics. Well, it would. Absolutely, because they're no longer jumping over nine meters.

SPEAKER_03 24:58

Yeah, it's just absolutely sure there's only been two.

SPEAKER_01 25:01

Well, uh Carl Lewis did it, and then of course and Powell.

SPEAKER_00 25:05

Yeah, Mike Powell.

SPEAKER_01 25:06

Yeah, Mike Powell did it. I'm not aware of anybody else cracking the nine meters. We will look into that, but I don't think so. So, but yeah. So for him to do that in '68, that's just incredible.

SPEAKER_02 25:18

Yeah, that's awesome.

SPEAKER_01 25:19

One of the most amazing sporting fits of all time. Such was the impact on Bobby that immediately after the record was announced, he actually had a seizure. In the moment. Is that real? Yeah, he did. Well, there you go. I know, he actually had a seizure. Is that an Oscar moment?

SPEAKER_00 25:40

Well, no, he won because he won.

SPEAKER_01 25:42

Oh no, he won. One of them crashed before he got to the start line. Yep. The other one broke the world record and lasted for 24 years. So don't quite think it's an Oscar moment. Oscar Bravo. It's not, is it? No, that's not even close. Uh it's an anti-Oscar. The recent hitting the crack. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 26:04

So we got a boxer earlier this week, Marvin Jones. So only a small time professional, but it's still a professional. Yeah. Obviously, he was expecting a call, a phone call, during the fight. Oh. Because in the first round, his mobile phone fell out from his shorts onto the phone.

SPEAKER_01 26:30

Maybe, maybe he was laying bets. Maybe he was. Maybe he just, you know, it was a different kind of ring. Tone. Oh. The tone of that joke is no good.

SPEAKER_00 26:42

Wasn't it?

SPEAKER_01 26:42

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 26:43

Most bizarre thing. I saw it on the video. The reference went stop, stop, stop, picked up the phone, handed it to his cornerman.

SPEAKER_01 26:49

Then they carried on fighting, and the next round. He got knocked out. Yeah. And he probably deserved that. Well, yeah. But can I ask, not being a a uh uh a huge boxing aficionado, do boxing shorts have pockets? No, he had it in the like the elastic. In the elastics. Yeah. What on earth was he thinking? No. I would have thought that would have been quite uncomfortable. You'd think so. It's totally stupid, isn't it? Oh well. So there you go. Oh well, that's uh boxes for you. When they when they legitimalize, legitimalize. Yeah, we'll go legitimalize. We when they legitimise skipping as training, what can you expect from them? What's your skipping like, Martin? Oh, it's awful. I can't do it, but it's awful. Meanwhile. What else you got for me, mate? Uh, we want to go wacky? Go on. We'll go wacky. This is a fairly benign wacky. This is not as wacky as some of the wackies. This is not uh ferret. But uh it is something that popped, uh came across my my radar this week. Yeah. And out of the the sporting capital of the world for wackiness, which is not the UK, you may think it's the UK or Finland, or the Netherlands gravy wrestling earlier today. Yeah, well, there you go. Uh yes, but that was just your interest. That was that was just toilet reading, wasn't it? Oh, yeah. No, we are talking about the organized competitive sport of office chair racing. Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 28:25

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 28:26

Now in Japan, and it's spreading, it's going further. Right. This is a big thing. Yeah. This is uh this rivals Lamont's fools. No, no, it does. They've modelled it. Hang on a second. Maybe Oscar could have a second career in it after he's failed in this one. Wow. The bravado on you for some some Brit winning one race.

SPEAKER_00 28:54

Yes, I know. Goodness me. Well, that isn't the best bit.

SPEAKER_01 28:58

You used to pick on Mark Weber for being so happy because he won one race.

SPEAKER_00 29:01

He did, didn't he?

SPEAKER_01 29:02

And now you're doing it. And then the other guy drank champagne out of a shoe. Ah, yeah, Daniel. Yeah, that classy thing. Yeah, it's been done for years. Been done for years. Yeah, normally the classy thing the Brits do is just cheat. But that's all right. Let's go back. Let's go back. Come on. We don't want to get away from chairs. Come on, let's get back onto the racing. So, what have we got? We've got office chairs. You're not allowed to attach yourself to the chair. Are there modifications with the wheels and width of the chairs, weight, down to it? No, nope. There's no aerodynamic package on the chairs. Okay. Uh there it is. It is particularly popular in Japan and it is now spread. Spread to Germany. Yeah. This is a two-hour endurance race. Yeah, okay. Yes, that's where the modifications to the chairs are going to come from. The Germans. Yeah. Yep. The clinic of it all. The the the the concentration. Sorry, wrong word. The uh the the the planning, the planning, the practice. The the the technical sketching. Yeah. What are they called?

unknown 30:11

I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 30:12

I don't know. The the diagram, the the You've lost me. I'll have to go back. The technical drawings. Oh yeah. Technical drawings. I remember doing that in school. Same. Okay, so a two-hour endurance race where they race as teams, three members in each team. Okay. You must have your own chair. Two hours is it before work or after? It's Japan. Yeah. You just fit it in because you work 19 hours a day. Of course you do, yeah. And outside of that, you study. Yeah. And you're probably playing an instrument. Yeah. So hyper achievements over there. Uh so and it's very specific. Non-modified office chairs. Okay. That is part of the rules. Participants are allowed to wear safety gear, propelling themselves with only their feet. Now, what we've learned when we watch a couple of these videos that I will post is it is there is a very special technique to go round corners to not fall off your chair. And they've perfected it backwards. Oh, wow. So that your body weight going round the corner leans into the back of the chair on the inside of the corner. So that's something like force. They got G-forces. Yeah, yeah, yeah. However, they would lose them in the back turn. Ah, but they're athletes. So once you've perfected the back turn, yes, I don't I don't think you lose a lot of time. I don't know how fast they are. However, let's go to miles. They reach speeds. They reach speeds of between 20 and 30 miles an hour.

unknown 31:53

Wow.

SPEAKER_01 31:54

Now, if I'm not mistaken, 30 miles an hour is 50 kilometers an hour.

SPEAKER_00 31:58

About, yeah. Probably 48.7 or something stupid like that.

SPEAKER_01 32:01

But yes. Yeah, no, it's fives and threes. I'm pretty sure it's 50. Yeah, is it really?

SPEAKER_03 32:05

There you go.

SPEAKER_01 32:06

50k an hour. Not strapped in on a chair on the road. Absolutely brilliant. It's not yeah, it's the it's a road circuit that they race on. Not in your it's not in an office. I thought it was in the office. Oh, there's gonna be like balloons and obstacles that you had to go around. No, no. This is a this is a closed road circuit. Oh, wow. So they close it to traffic and it's a relay. So you don't have to go for two hours, but you go around a lap, tag to the next guy, and he goes off. And there's no seat belts, no nothing. No, no, no. Because that would be a modification. What happens when they get closer, they bump and things and barge? Well, they're awfully considerate. Okay. I think it's the gentleman's game now. It's no longer cricket. It's the gentleman's game in the in the world of sport, is uh office chair racing, I do believe now. I might have a crack at that. So this is this is uh there are some other events. So this is your major event that they do. And the uh the Japanese, they have over 55 teams that race in these at the one time. Wow. In their championships. It's been gone for 16 years. It's bloody good effort. So that's uh it's it's incredible. And there is actually some sprints. Yeah. So there is officially recognized a hundred-meter sprint version of this event. Did they get extra points for that as well? A bit like the Tour de France, you know, King of the Mountain kind of thing. Oh no, no. No, no, no, it's a complete, it's like athletics, it's it's a different event. Different events. Right, okay. So there are ridiculous numbers of videos of this. Yeah. So we're gonna post a few for everyone to see. Good. But uh, office chair racing boys and girls, ladies and gentlemen. Yeah, everyone else who's interested. Okay, and they even specify, because you laughed at me, what is the competition like? Teams of three swap out similar to Le Mans style racing.

SPEAKER_00 34:05

No way.

SPEAKER_01 34:06

Well, like I said, so it is it is the Le Mons of the office. Might be another career for Oscar. Might be. He'll do a shoey at the end. Well, yes, indeed. So that's your it's it is a wacky sport. I'm prepared to say that's a bit whack.

SPEAKER_00 34:23

Yeah. Yeah, it is. So I'm just gonna love it though.

SPEAKER_01 34:28

Yeah. Well, I've just got the visuals going on. Yeah, I'm gonna be able to do that. I'm intrigued. I'm gonna search because I'm intrigued to know if there is any biff. Yeah. And that brings me off the wacky sport and into the V8s. Okay. So over the Grand Prix weekend that lasts for four days, there are four sprint races for the V8s in Australia. And uh there's no tires, there's no pit stops, there's no refueling. It is just go a million miles an hour.

SPEAKER_00 35:01

So they race without tires.

SPEAKER_01 35:03

No, they don't swap tires. You just said there's no tires. Okay, there's no tyre changes in the I never get tired of this. Uh Martin. You and your little winds, your little rustles that you have, your little pointless wins that make you happy and smile. Uh no, no, no. So these are aggressive. They're only 19 laps long each race and uh full of biffing and barging and running into each other and because there's nothing else to do. Yeah. Uh so this is actually the season. I think there is seven debutants in the V8s this season, which is the most there's ever been. It's quite incredible. And there's a guy by the name of Cooper Murray. Now he's in his second season, only a young kid racing. And everywhere he went in Melbourne, he got run into. Even if he had nothing to do with it, and two other guys were fighting on the track for the same corner, they'd hit each other and somehow take him out. Yeah. And it wasn't once a race, it was multiple times every race. Even the commentators started laughing and saying, Oh, that's Cooper Murray facing the wrong way again. This kid just couldn't take the right surname. Yes. You know, well, there you go. He does too. Yes. Yes. That race is in two halves. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 36:31

Exactly.

SPEAKER_01 36:32

Um yeah, poor fella. But uh, yeah, Kastecki won the first two. I was about to ask. Um former champion. Really good because Kastecki is driving for Ford now. And because Ford are now back in the Formula One, all the big Ford bosses are all in Melbourne for the first Grand Prix.

SPEAKER_03 36:52

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_01 36:53

So it's really good for him and for the team that they came out and won the first two races.

SPEAKER_03 36:58

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 36:58

Uh, and then Brock Feeney won the third, fourth is on uh this afternoon. Uh, and Brock Feeney's in a Ford now as well.

SPEAKER_00 37:05

Right.

SPEAKER_01 37:06

So uh yeah, so basically the all the massive big Ford bosses from around the world come out to Melbourne for their first Formula One race in who knows how long. Yeah. And they watch the V8s and they get the first three wins. So that'd be pretty happy. Yeah, of course it would be happy. Yeah, so Brock Feeney is now officially leading the championship. Yeah. Again, it's what he did all last year. Yeah, yeah. Till he didn't? Yes. Till he pulled out an Oscar. Although that wasn't really his fault, so that's not fair. Someone blocked him off. Yeah, someone ran him into the wall. Yes. Yes. But yeah, so that covers the V8 and the wacky sport, my good man. Well, that's pretty good, Martin. I'm gonna roll on. I've got a question for you. I reckon I've got an answer for you. The Matildas. Uh yes. What the hell is the connection between them and something about rock star? I've got Fanzi and Barnsey. Oh, because it's just Australian, it's just pub rock. You just have to get past it. You just have to get past it.

SPEAKER_00 38:10

What's that got to do with the female sporting team?

SPEAKER_01 38:14

Nothing. What's any music got to do with sport? Come on, John. Stop trying to find if you want to find fault.

SPEAKER_00 38:19

If it was K-pop, then I'd understand it more. But there was no, it's like your obsession with Lily and Tomo. You can't let it go. It's 1972. Hang on a minute.

SPEAKER_01 38:34

Hang on a minute. Aren't you the one that fanboyed over Tomo only last year in a hotel and demanded a selfie with him? When do you get over it, John? We were discussing two opening bowlers. You little fanboy. You're a K-pop fan. A new ball in your hand. Yes, well, you would have enjoyed that. Uh I tell you what, I'm gonna go one further. Go on. I think you've missed the boat on this one. Do you remember when we were talking earlier today, John, and I said to you, it's been a pretty good week.

SPEAKER_03 39:08

Yes.

SPEAKER_01 39:09

I don't think anything's upset me. I'm bloody wrong.

SPEAKER_00 39:13

Oh, ranting.

SPEAKER_01 39:14

And you've just reminded me of what annoyed me this week. Are we ranting? Oh, yes. Come on then. Oh, this is quick though.

SPEAKER_00 39:20

You told me you didn't have a rant. I know, that's what I just said.

SPEAKER_01 39:23

I'm very angry about this.

SPEAKER_00 39:24

This is a Stuart Real moment.

SPEAKER_01 39:27

I think we leave it right there. I think we leave it right there. The Matildas. Yeah. Now, who did they play? Iran. Okay. Now, let's think this through. They played here on the Gold Coast. Yes. Was a bit wet. But these things happen when you're in the tropics. Now, Iran. Help me out here, John, with your memory. What colour is their kit?

unknown 39:54

I can't remember that.

SPEAKER_01 39:56

White. Oh, white, yeah, yeah, yeah. Hundred percent white with a couple of lines on it. Uh-huh. What's the colour of the Australian national teams? The general colours we wear when we compete internationally. Green and gold. We all know it. We are green and gold. What do the Matildas wear to play a team wearing all white? Green and gold. Black. What the bloody hell is going on there? You save up your money.

SPEAKER_03 40:27

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 40:28

Your son did it. Yeah. He went to his first game. I don't know if it was or not, but for me, I'm going to say it's his first Matildas game. Second. He goes to them, you go there, you want to see the green and gold of Australia playing.

SPEAKER_00 40:42

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 40:42

What do they wear?

SPEAKER_00 40:43

Black.

SPEAKER_01 40:44

Black.

SPEAKER_00 40:44

That's weird, isn't it?

SPEAKER_01 40:46

What the hell? Now, possibly, if it clashed, let's say we were playing South Africa. Yeah. But we're the home team. So they change. Yeah. So that shouldn't be an issue. But we weren't playing South Africa. We were playing a bunch of Iranian women dressed in white. Where the hell's our green and gold gone? Bring back green and gold for Australia. These ridiculous other colours that we start playing in. Typical soccer. They make their fans buy multiple bloody colour jumpers. And the English do it, the Europeans do it. There's like a hundred different outfits for every soccer team. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 41:27

That's what it is. Stick to the canary, I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 41:28

You're not happy with it. Green and gold. Yeah. When you're playing for Australia.

SPEAKER_00 41:32

Green and gold.

SPEAKER_01 41:33

Black is not the colour of Australia. It is true. This is very true. Green and bloody gold. However, two. The clicker clicker us. No, oh, okay. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 41:46

Clickbeat. Bait. Beat. This week's sporting click bait. And as always, Martin, I had a bit of trouble finding it.

SPEAKER_01 41:55

However, in a soccer match between Atletico Madrid and Real Sociodad. Who? Yeah, Real Sociodad. A real sausage dad. Yeah, that'll do. That's close to it. No way, show me. Yeah. I want to see those words. Sociodad. Where's that from? Yeah, there you go. Oh my god. So look at that.

SPEAKER_00 42:16

Absolutely. So it's a sociodad. Spanish team.

SPEAKER_01 42:19

So the real defender Jose Jimenez did an act of which you would never really see in the middle of a soccer match. Bastardry. No, it wasn't. No bastardry at all. What was the act? A pigeon flew onto the pitch. And the referee blew his whistle to stop play. What did the pigeon have cramped? No, but it was no, but it was a coup. I'm gonna it's it's it doesn't quite work because I'm not aware of I mean it's good, but it's not great.

SPEAKER_03 42:58

Yeah, well.

SPEAKER_01 42:58

But they don't live in coups.

SPEAKER_03 43:00

No, but they go coo, coo, coo, coo, coo.

SPEAKER_01 43:06

Anyway, the ref holding the match because the pigeon was John's impersonation of every pigeon ever was spoiling the game.

SPEAKER_00 43:14

And Jimenez went up to the ref and just said, You haven't stopped because of a bloody pigeon at you. In Spanish, of course. And the ref went, Yeah, yeah. So he promptly walked over to the pigeon, picked it up, taking the I've got the photograph, takes it to the sideline, gives it a little stroke, yeah, yeah. And then it flew off. What a beautiful moment. And the match carried on. Pretty cheesy. Talking about cheese, did you hear about the cheese factory that exploded in France?

SPEAKER_01 43:46

Oh no. Degree is everywhere.

SPEAKER_00 43:51

Lovely. Anyway.

SPEAKER_01 43:53

So was your entire soccer story to lead you? Too cheesy. It was pretty cheesy, wasn't it? Because it didn't even not really. No, it didn't relate. No. I'm not happy with that one. Yeah. I'm gonna rant about that. Well, go on then. Cricket World Cup, Martin. We've got the 2020 final, yes. Yeah, and what's happening in the test? I what what what test? Exactly. Australia versus India. Women's cricket. Dominating India in one of the f one of the few day-night pink ball tests. Okay. So uh but they're at home. I will mention just for this, for uh Annabelle Sutherland. Now, first of all, her brother plays for Victoria. Yeah. Um and Annabelle is now the first, I don't know if it's world player, I think it might be first female player to hit four centuries.

SPEAKER_03 44:54

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 44:55

Um she has an average of like 90 when she plays in Australia. Bradman-esque. Wow, but the the the but there's a difference.

SPEAKER_03 45:05

Yeah, I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 45:06

Because we we we we are playing a pink ball test here, so it's under lights, it's not how many runs you score, it's when and how you do it, because we know with the pink ball under lights, you want to be bowling. So after she scores 129, yeah, she goes straight out and bowls and takes a couple of wickets. Yeah, they seem to be more all round is in the women's years. Yeah, for some unknown reason. I'm not quite sure why, but yeah. So she's she's as good with the ball as she is with the bat, yeah, which is incredible.

SPEAKER_00 45:33

And it's Alyssa Healing's last match, I believe.

SPEAKER_01 45:35

I believe so. Yes. She went out and whacked a solid 13. So not quite as good as her last ODI where she hit 158. Yeah, but you know, you get that. That's test cricket. Indeed. So I thought I'd give that a quick mention. Oh, well not, why not? And yeah, India, New Zealand to the night.

SPEAKER_00 45:52

Just beat it. Only just knocked out my England. Bethel did score a century, but it wasn't enough. Very good game, very close game. But India.

SPEAKER_01 46:00

Only just? Yeah. India are a better team.

SPEAKER_00 46:02

It was close. So, anyway, I have a feeling that New Zealand are gonna win this. They've reached six finals in the shorter version of the game in 11 years. How many have they won? I don't know. I'm pretty certain like none.

SPEAKER_01 46:30

However, they're Jew. Do you know what they should do? Well, I do want them to win. Do you know what they should do? They should recruit Brendan McCullough. I knew you'd say that. Well, they should. They bloody well should. He's one of them. They would just continue on their losing weight. Yeah, they would. Of course they damn well would. Um, wow, yeah, that is hard. Yeah. You kind of want to see them just win one. Of course you do.

SPEAKER_00 46:53

They are the nice guys.

SPEAKER_01 46:54

And in the cricket, in the world of international cricket. Yeah. Where does India land in regards to everybody wanting to see them do well? Well, they don't these days. Yes, that's what I'm thinking. So you've got the nice guys in cricket who generally don't win ever, who have got a chance to win. And let's face it, maybe had one or two of those little things stolen from them, yeah. You know, maybe over in England. Yeah, yeah, maybe. Yep. But uh, and then the people that a lot of people love to see not win at the other end. And I gotta be honest, from my point of view, go on, as an Australian, yeah, could not care. Right. Couldn't care. Hopefully, is there a way for them both to lose?

SPEAKER_00 47:38

It's very Australian, isn't it?

SPEAKER_01 47:39

Yes, it is.

SPEAKER_00 47:42

Well, it is.

SPEAKER_01 47:43

It is 1020, so it's even harder.

SPEAKER_00 47:46

I yeah, well, there is that. I just want New Zealand to win. A lot of A, it's India.

SPEAKER_01 47:51

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 47:51

I'm not a fan of the idea.

SPEAKER_01 47:52

You'd like to see New Zealand get one. Yes. Yeah. And it's not against Australia and it's not against England, so therefore they can have that one. They are a classic punching above the weight sort of team, and they always have been. Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 48:05

And with them, it's all it's the sum of all the parts.

SPEAKER_01 48:08

Well, you know the theory. Yeah, you know the theory behind the um New Zealand cricket team. Go on. So in New Zealand you play rugby union.

SPEAKER_02 48:20

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 48:20

Now, if you can't play rugby union, you play rugby league.

SPEAKER_00 48:24

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 48:25

If you can't play rugby league, you play netball. Uh-huh. If you can't play netball, you race horses. If you can't race horses, you row.

SPEAKER_00 48:36

Yes.

SPEAKER_01 48:37

And if you can't row, you play cricket.

SPEAKER_00 48:39

Oh, right. So that's about where it lands.

SPEAKER_01 48:43

Yes, it's a fair way down that list of sports that New Zealand are bloody good at on the international stage over the last 50 years. Yeah. And yeah, so you've got to be no good at the first five, and then you go, oh, I'll give cricket a crack. Yeah. Yeah, well, they're doing okay in the shorter format. So, Martin, what else have you got for this episode? I do want to just touch on the EPL. Yeah. There have been some results come in that we said needed to go a certain way since we last spoke. Specifically Tottenham. Oh, yes. And Tottenham. Well, they might have Oscared. They might have been. I'm not sure they even hit the pitch. Look, West Ham and Forest and Leeds might just get away with this. I reckon you might be right. Um, Tottenham's. Let's go, let's go through this. I'm gonna go through this very quickly. Yeah. Leeds' form. Loss, loss, draw, draw, win. It's not great, but it's okay. Nottingham Forest's form. Draw, loss, loss, draw, loss. Yeah. Not good. West Ham. Win, loss, draw, draw, win. Yeah. That's actually pretty good. Point wise. Yes, point wise, that's four out of five. Yeah. In that little group is Tottenham. Their last five games have been loss, loss, loss, loss. Can you guess the other one? A bloody loss. That's five in a row for Tottenham. They're going nowhere. What would happen if Tottenham get relegated? Well, all hell will break loose. They're a big club. Is it an issue? And I heard this during the week. Yeah. That they've got a handful of very good players who are already looking for transfers. Yeah. Because if they get relegated, they're not worth any money. So they're looking to get out just in case. That can happen. And if they do that, you'd go to a bloody third division French team before playing for Tottenham right now. Tottenham will crash. Quite easily. And this happened. This actually did happen to Leeds United.

SPEAKER_00 51:10

Yes. When there's something that went wrong with their finances and all the rest of it a few years ago, they were fourth in the Premier League at the time. Fraudulent books. The manager didn't know.

SPEAKER_01 51:22

Oh no, the manager may not know. No, he was just told to go and spend. But they were just way in debt.

SPEAKER_00 51:27

And as a result, their penalty was to get demoted to bloody divisions. Fair enough to. They were lucky to survive.

SPEAKER_01 51:34

They were almost an 11th hour liquidation kind of thing or 25. Well, you see, the problem for Leeds is they're not Geelong. See, Geelong can do what they like with salary caps, and they just get a little, hey guys, we're gonna fine you 70 grand and we're gonna suspend half of that and carry on. Every other team gets crucified. Yeah, yeah. So maybe Leeds needed to be Geelong. Mate, going back to Spurs, though. I mean, look, I mean, here's one of those things where sort of people still tend to laugh a little bit. Well, mate, I mean, you've got Tottenham and West Ham behind them on 28 points. Yeah. Spurs are on 29. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 52:07

This is not good. No, no, no. Now I know. And they're one of the very famous players who used to be England manager as well, guy called Glenn Hoddle, has offered to give his services for free. As the manager, not a player, he's 70 now. So I don't think he could play anymore.

SPEAKER_01 52:24

But uh yeah, he's offered to. Are you are you suggesting a 70-year-old Glenn Hoddle would not benefit this Tottenham Hotspur's team?

SPEAKER_00 52:33

I reckon he might give him something. He was pretty skillful. So, anyway, before we wind up, I do have a bouncy off the helmet. Okay. 1989. This is hilarious.

SPEAKER_01 52:43

I like the year. Southampton, England. I lived, I was living there. Is this Matt Letizier time or pre-Matt? No, it is Matt Letizier time. Oh, there you go. What a player.

SPEAKER_00 52:52

Oh, mate.

SPEAKER_01 52:54

If only he wasn't so committed to Southampton. Well, not only that, but if only he wasn't so good. He was too good for England. Actual fact, next episode, I'm gonna bring him into the four. Yes. Yeah, I saw a thing on him. So skillful. Amazing. About the fact that he was offered huge money to go to big clubs. Yeah, he didn't. And if he had, he would have been in England, he would have been everywhere because he was in the right clubs. He was known as Lagode. Yeah, and his nickname. Yes. You know, he's just and Brazil soccer TV had their own segment on him. He was that good. That's when you made it in soccer, isn't it?

SPEAKER_02 53:33

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 53:34

Yeah, it was great. Okay, 89. Yes. Southampton.

SPEAKER_00 53:37

A lightheaded boxing match. None of your favourite sport again, Martin. Between a guy called Tony Wilson and Steve McCarthy. Now, I knew the McCarthy brothers. This is when I lived there. They were tough and hard. You didn't want to mess. If you're in the same nightclub as the McCarthy brothers, you sort of went. You just had enough for the night and left.

SPEAKER_01 53:56

It's nine o'clock. I'm done.

SPEAKER_00 53:58

Three brothers, all pro-boxers, but they didn't really care that they were pro-boxers and decided to get into fights. So anyway, in this fight, Wilson, who was a former British champion, was getting the proverbial crap beaten out of him by McCarthy. Yeah. Now for fear of playing the race situation here, McCarthy is white. Wilson is black. Okay, so and I'm going to hit this for the visual. So Wilson, whilst he was getting the shit beaten out of him, got some unexpected help from his mum. Who ran into the boxing room. Oh, I've seen this! Took a stiletto off. Oh, there was a hand out of the state. Yes! With the heel. Yes, yes, yes. Which caused one massive cut on his head. So the ref jumped in, stopped it. Stopped it for bleeding? Yeah, yeah, yeah. McCarthy thought he'd won. Because he was pummeling Wilson against the ropes whilst this happened. The smack on the head. And he just thought he'd won, raised his hands, um, left the ring.

SPEAKER_01 55:14

Because he obviously saw something stupid happening here. Potential riot. Anyway. What happened? Hang on. Hang on. The ref had not stopped the fight at all. Which is stupid. He should have done. It should have been ruled no contest. Or disqualification or something. Well, intervention. Yeah, having an intervening family member fighting on your behalf, I think that's disqualification, isn't it? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, it should be. But obviously the ref. Not in the 80s. No, obviously. Life was good in the 80s.

SPEAKER_00 55:46

They went looking for McCarthy, couldn't find him. So he the ref awarded the fight to Wilson.

SPEAKER_01 55:52

Brilliant. To which the crowd took exemption too and started sat in things like that. But what's he done wrong? Nothing. He's got his ass handed to him. And then watched some chick walking with a stiletto with. His mum.

SPEAKER_00 56:04

Wasn't just some chick, it was his mother. So McCarthy ended up having to go to hospital for treatment on his head, the cut. Brilliant. I know. Brilliant. The whole thing was absolutely mental. But hilarious. But then McCarthy came back. Not that he had to go to hospital later, but he grabbed the mic and started trying to.

SPEAKER_01 56:24

Did he have a rematch with the mum? No.

SPEAKER_00 56:27

Well, the irony is here is that the uh the manager uh of um Wilson, yeah, Jimmy Tibbs, said she blacked out. Now, couldn't use that phrase these days. I that's why I mentioned the aforementioned.

SPEAKER_01 56:44

And yeah, you did can't use it these days, but I did. How does that work?

SPEAKER_00 56:51

Oh, that's what he said.

SPEAKER_01 56:53

In quotes. In quotes. Yes.

SPEAKER_00 56:56
