Speaker 2
Two. One. Are we alive? Here we are. We are back in the unfunded podcast episode, I don't know. Season two. It's been a lot. We've. I'll just be honest. We've had a big swim session this morning. We're fucking knackered. But we're here. We're here. We're live. I've forgotten the intro. Anyway, welcome back to the unfunded podcast.
00;00;44;08 - 00;01;06;02
Speaker 2
My name is Leyton World Professional Triathlon, along with my good friend Lachlan Jones, professional triathlete. Thank you for covering this morning. That's okay. And we're back in the studio. Yes. We didn't record last week because we did. We did record, but it was very early. Yeah, yeah. So we weren't actually in the studio last week. Yeah, we had a week off.
00;01;06;07 - 00;01;24;17
Speaker 2
So if our predictions were wrong, I can't even remember them. Honestly, I think we were pretty good. Were pretty good. We were pretty good. There was a couple there's a couple of like sort of ones thrown in. I don't think either of us picked Vasco. A little bit silly, but the one that had me very worried was the mixed team relay.
00;01;24;19 - 00;01;47;23
Speaker 2
And we'll get we'll get to it in the end. But, a bit later on. But yeah, there was some there was some big movers and shakers over the weekend that went a little bit unseen for us. Yeah, yeah. Anyway, we'll get into that later. What's been going on? Lucky? Anything new, anything exciting? And Jones, I'm running outside of the altar G treadmill.
00;01;47;26 - 00;02;08;19
Speaker 2
That's good. Yeah. That's nice. Man, it felt like death on Saturday. Who knew? 30 minutes at 515. Pace could be so hard when you've not run into two months. It's just humbling. Humbling? I'm running. Lose it quick, don't you? Yeah. I'm run along the the glitter strip in burley heads. Just like thinking, yeah, I'm a professional athlete here.
00;02;08;19 - 00;02;26;00
Speaker 2
I'll look good. I would like a bag of shit. I was seeing things. There's actually, like, I bonked, I literally, I was running k run, I bonked it at six k, I bonked and I was running back down the Miami side. And for those that don't know, you can either go the long way around, which is the flat way.
00;02;26;03 - 00;02;43;09
Speaker 2
If you're a runner, you go that way. On the way back, I was seriously contemplated just walking up the stairs over the hill just to get me back there because I was like, this is just not this shouldn't it shouldn't be how it should be. This shouldn't be this hard. But it was. And you know what? We're moving.
00;02;43;11 - 00;03;01;06
Speaker 2
We're moving and grooving. That's good. Happy with that. But other than that, just just taking a long time. All the time. How about you? How was home? It was good. It was mummy and daddy. Yeah. So I mean daddy. Yeah. It was good to go home. Reset. It's like a bit of grounding experience, you know? Back to more reality.
00;03;01;12 - 00;03;25;22
Speaker 2
Started from the bottom. Now we're here. Yeah. So that was good. And then what else have I done? Oh, I'm back at uni now, so. Yeah, that's kind of not not ideal, to be honest. Why is there so many messages? Snapchat on on the laptop is crazy, man. Yeah. No, back at uni. So just getting pumped with that.
00;03;25;23 - 00;03;42;04
Speaker 2
Got to go to the nursing home on Thursday. So I really look forward to that. That's why you just don't do uni, man. It's overrated. You don't need it anyway. You don't need it. It's good. It's good getting done. I only got three more weeks. I go to Europe and then you're. Oh. Oh, really? Yeah. So not long.
00;03;42;05 - 00;04;06;17
Speaker 2
I'm just hanging on. When are we? When are we leaving? We're leaving on the 2nd of August. Send me your flights. Yep. So I stayed here. It's too cold here, man. It's taken a turn. Get him! It's taken a turn. I know that our winter isn't anything like the European winter. I know, like the UK and all you other cold places will be calling us pussies and saying no, it's not that bad.
00;04;06;18 - 00;04;24;06
Speaker 2
Ten degrees is cold. I don't care what you say. If it's under. If it's a single digit, it's cold. Yeah. Honestly, get lost if you don't think that's my nice way, it's on. It's my nice way to get lost track. I've got a sweater and a jumper and track is. Get lost. It's cold. Right. Get off my ass.
00;04;24;09 - 00;04;41;21
Speaker 2
Ten degrees is cold. But, yeah, I don't want. I don't wanna do this anymore. So I'm coming to Europe. Yeah. Fair enough. We did something fun, though, on the weekend, didn't we? What do we do? We watched Conor McGregor. I wouldn't really say that was fun. If I'm being honest, I was actually very upsetting. So obviously there was a lot going on the weekend.
00;04;41;22 - 00;05;01;24
Speaker 2
We had Hamburg, there's the World Cup going on. There's the big return of of Mac. Conor McGregor was coming back. We both finished our our long ride for the Sunday. Sunday's a pretty, pretty hefty ride day and I think I was home for all the five minutes like in the shower, grabbed a piece, I put them to tell her on bread and just like got there.
00;05;01;26 - 00;05;21;12
Speaker 2
Went, yeah, just left. Nutritionist Ellie, hopefully she's not listening to this. Yeah, I'll slap me on the wrist as well. Oh, yeah. You're awesome. That's right. You are. Sorry. Yeah. Did not feel properly. Just went straight to the pub for a pint of coke and watched McGregor do some big Hail Mary kicks and just roll his ankle.
00;05;21;14 - 00;05;39;01
Speaker 2
Yeah, it was pretty useless, wasn't it? It was. I haven't made a post on Facebook. Yeah, I know, I'm bringing back Facebook. Little status things. I still don't have Facebook. The Indians still have to account. They've still got. They've still got two hands on my Facebook account. I said, I think this is the best day in sports history.
00;05;39;02 - 00;06;04;16
Speaker 2
So you had the World Cup England versus Norway. And then you had Argentina versus no, bro, you did Argentina versus. Come on man. Switzerland. Yeah, true. I said come on man. But I hadn't figured it out. Yeah. So Argentina, Switzerland. And then you had Konrad Gregor versus Max Holloway and it was all big bad Paddy. Paddy Pimlott. Yeah.
00;06;04;17 - 00;06;24;07
Speaker 2
Finding out. So he had a fight and then you also had Hamburg mixed relay and then the tour de France all in one day. And I thought this is the best day of viewing ever. And you made a Facebook. What is it, the Facebook status thing. That's what made that shit back I reckon as well I think should come back.
00;06;24;08 - 00;06;43;04
Speaker 2
I think we missed the generation of like when people were doing it back in like 2008 to 2012 and you see like famous people or whatever, they're sharing their like statuses that they made in 2010 when it was really cool to do that. Like just looked at my crush today, always like, you know, something, something for a DVD.
00;06;43;06 - 00;07;00;26
Speaker 2
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Something just so out of the blue. We need to bring that back. I need to get my Facebook out of the Indian towns first, but then, like 100%, we'll start making some road statuses, bring some status, you know, back. Yeah. Because I feel as if Facebook has died especially for us like our generally. So it's more like the older gen.
00;07;00;26 - 00;07;19;11
Speaker 2
But yeah we miss that peak Facebook. You know you're an old soul. Yeah I, I think we should bring it back. You know, forget Instagram. Let's be real. We're not influencers. No I've tried you try about three times a year. Yeah. And then I just get. I'm just not. I'm just not. That's not my scene. What did you say just before?
00;07;19;13 - 00;07;42;03
Speaker 2
Don't. I was a bit harsh. You don't want to see day in the lives. I just want to see down the loss of, like, an influence. I just think, like, there's a lot of people influencing that just should not be influencing. Like, I'm not influenced at all by you. It's just generic captions that have been recycled. Between 100,000 people have all got the same thing.
00;07;42;04 - 00;07;56;29
Speaker 2
Like, yeah, I don't know, day in the lives of people that are just not really doing much day in the life of an average Joe day in the life of an average Joe really doesn't impress me that much. So there was a guy and he was obviously odd. Yeah, it was a very it was very odd drinking, whatever.
00;07;56;29 - 00;08;12;22
Speaker 2
He's drinking. Yeah, yeah. And it's just but it comes with me. It's the same thing. They go to the gym, they come from shop, they go for a walk. Like they go for a run in the Arvo. They, you know, I mean good on you living healthy. But it just kind of normalized snowballs just kind of like it's just like, oh wow.
00;08;12;24 - 00;08;32;15
Speaker 2
You guys all figured out what exercise was. Yeah, but doing that shit since I was ten. Yeah, but is it normal because like, most people would be like office between 9 to 5. Yeah, yeah. Where's the office, bro going? Hey, welcome to my day life. I think. I think P5 am doing whatever he's doing and then goes to the office.
00;08;32;15 - 00;08;49;02
Speaker 2
Slaves away, hates his life for eight hours, and then comes back and tries to cook dinner and goes to bed. I don't know if it's just a Gold Coast thing, but the obsession with being an influencer is just. Yeah, it is a Gold Coast thing. It is just like the obsession with wanting to be 100,000 followers on Instagram.
00;08;49;02 - 00;09;09;12
Speaker 2
I get it, I've done Maya. Like, I mean, we're doing this. Yeah, but like, is the goal to really, like have. No, the goal isn't to influence. No, we're definitely not influencing. If you want to be like us, you're fucked. I'm lucky to make you think the wrong people to look up to. But no, I mean like, the goals are to have fun.
00;09;09;12 - 00;09;25;17
Speaker 2
Really. Not like even when I was having my little influencer stint, it was never to get 100,000 followers. It was really just to like, work with brands and work with sponsors, like work with people that I cared about. End of the day, it was just to help fun being the best triathlete I could. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. I could have had 1000 or 100,000.
00;09;25;17 - 00;09;42;11
Speaker 2
Didn't really care. Anyway. We're getting well off track now. We've got on to influences. It's not even on the run sheet. No Facebook statuses. Yeah, yeah, yeah. True. Bring them back, guys. I think we need them back. So all the story Facebook Facebook. Bring it back I want to see Mark Zuckerberg this up. So that was kind of a great guy.
00;09;42;12 - 00;10;09;15
Speaker 2
That was a real letdown. We've got four teams left in the World Cup. On to the next sporting event for teams left in the World Cup. France Argentina I know. No, sorry. France versus Spain, Argentina, England. Who's taking the win out of those two I think two two semis okay I want England to beat Argentina C in the in my perfect world Argentina versus England for the final.
00;10;09;16 - 00;10;26;13
Speaker 2
But really that can't happen. I think I wanted France in the final I think France but I don't know who I want more out of. I think France will win. Yeah I think so. And then I, I want England to win, but I don't know if they will I think, I definitely think because I think it's just great for the culture.
00;10;26;18 - 00;10;51;24
Speaker 2
I just want to see Fat Pompey's drinking booze and loving home. 5 p.m. in the UK. It's great. Even like the Pablo in Nobby. Yeah, like just had them in the boozer. You could, you could tell that they'd been up since the early hours of the morning. The game started at 6:30 a.m. now time. Another thing I this is kind of back onto the thing as soon as Conor McGregor is playing.
00;10;51;26 - 00;11;13;04
Speaker 2
Oh, sorry. Playing is fighting. The amount of Guinness is getting around is wild. Yeah. Okay. No sales. Yeah. Get us out. Honestly, as soon as he announces it, get your get your your pennies in into Guinness because. Oh, God. There was on every table I'm like, you guys don't enjoy don't you don't enjoy it. It's like yeah not pretending just because.
00;11;13;04 - 00;11;36;13
Speaker 2
Conor McGregor's on TV 12 p.m. on a Sunday. Yeah. Do you really need you guys have that proper 12 whiskey? Yeah, some of it's pretty broad, by the way. I trying to be American. Yeah. Weird. Oh, I'd love to see. I think the casino's putting on, like, obviously all of the, the soccer I would love to see, like, the French or just like the nationalities there.
00;11;36;14 - 00;11;57;14
Speaker 2
Like drinking, drinking beers at 5 a.m. at the casino. Like they so rogue for the Gold Coast. But it is like the complete opposite. But it's, like, acceptable in the World Cup one. I saw it when Argentina were playing. I think it was Argentina, Argentina version, Egypt. And there was like this massive video where basically again, pretty sure I know it was, I think it was Argentina.
00;11;57;18 - 00;12;15;16
Speaker 2
Basically the whole of the casino was Argentinian supporters. And then there was this one little, one little bit of Egypt and Egypt were up. I'm pretty sure it was like, no, it was, it was definitely Argentina. Egypt, Egypt were up like two nil. And then like, they were going fucking ballistic, like giving it to the whole Argentinian crowd.
00;12;15;16 - 00;12;31;28
Speaker 2
And then Argentina get up like three, two and then everybody's just feeding them and they're just sitting in the corner just like, oh no, we've just done ourselves dirty here. Soccer is amazing. I mean, we're we're going to get rinsed for calling a soccer as well. I know, I know, that's why Australia lost the World Cup. Well got knocked out.
00;12;31;29 - 00;12;51;13
Speaker 2
What do you mean soccer? Football. It's football. Find the wrong bloody game, guys. Come on. The piss out of the American. Well, yeah, but it's so easy. It's meant to be like that. The US were really good at soccer, weren't they? Yeah. Good at soccer. Not good at football, mate. Mate. Anyway, so that's for your European listeners.
00;12;51;14 - 00;13;09;08
Speaker 2
If there's any of them. What's going on in the in the tour we're doing a bit of a wide world sports segment here. But we are we're very off topic. I'm going to be honest. I don't watch the tour. The two are a fool to fall asleep to. The tour is like Matt Keenan's voice. He has to be one of the best commentators I think ever.
00;13;09;09 - 00;13;20;16
Speaker 2
It's so Sufi soothing, you know, like people who have a good radio voice. Yeah, yeah. I don't know if we do to face radio. Yeah, well, you had a face radio.
00;13;20;19 - 00;13;26;10
Speaker 2
Says you. Says me?
00;13;26;13 - 00;13;45;23
Speaker 2
No. Yeah. Matt Keenan on the on the tour. It's just soothing. There's something about him I just don't know. He does. He does. Noosa try as well. Oh yeah. We should collab with Matt Keenan. Don't know if I like him because I'm pretty sure I got written off last year. The Noosa try I think I got, I think I got talked up by one person and then all of a sudden they're like, yeah, Lucky Jones guy.
00;13;45;25 - 00;14;03;21
Speaker 2
I fucking keep going back to the where are you doing? I don't know, they're just give me shit for getting dropped. Really. Well I did I did get dropped. Yeah I feel, I feel I feel dirty that I'm the only. I feel like I'm the only triathlete that just doesn't. I've never gotten into the tour. Serious, I know POG.
00;14;03;25 - 00;14;26;01
Speaker 2
Yeah. POG is pretty much just destroying everyone. What's standard today is that. Is that it? Yeah. And. And I found a pool. Yeah. He hasn't done much this year. That's all I know. And I know, it's kind of a bit boring with Pogacar just winning, to be honest. Yeah. I've heard I saw that insane video for like, 20s going downhill.
00;14;26;02 - 00;14;50;07
Speaker 2
Averaged like 100 K an hour. Oh, yeah. It's just incredible. That's crazy. Hey, I mean, they can they can ride a bike. Those boys. Yeah. How long do I think you can say on for they average like 46 K. Now for 180 K I can just sit in I reckon. You reckon. Nah. Oh honestly I'd actually I'd get to k man pack.
00;14;50;08 - 00;15;09;04
Speaker 2
Imagine being in the middle of that. No that's right. Like you would shoot yourself. I wouldn't be great either. But like that. Like they're just used to bumping off each other and just like wheels, like, oh my God, dangerously close. Yeah. Like disgusting. The the the. Oh, no, I don't want to talk about it. It's gross. Yeah. So no one else know when we're not staying on.
00;15;09;04 - 00;15;32;01
Speaker 2
Not staying on. Be like a race for us. Just trying to hold the local Nerang crit race is like, not even that bad boy shit. Now in that Cambridge is just flying around the corner just now. Yeah. All right, let's get into the thick of it. The big one from the weekend weeks. Hamburg. Yeah. God, it is just one of the best races.
00;15;32;02 - 00;15;47;23
Speaker 2
Yeah, it's it's unmatched. Every year I feel as if it never, like, slows down. All the athletes say it to every interview. They all say the same thing like this is this is one of the best ones on the calendar. They love it. My big gripe with it though. Oh no. This year. Fuck. You got to grow up with a lot of things.
00;15;47;24 - 00;16;11;20
Speaker 2
No, I haven't had any gripes with McGregor. With the bloody two griping away was they didn't have the big steins of beer this year. Yes. No I'm sorry with that as well. What the fuck? That's. You're in Germany. They must be drinking. Whatever it is. I think that's been going on since, like 2007, I think. What have we gone back to?
00;16;11;21 - 00;16;34;25
Speaker 2
Like ordering? I do like champagne at all. That one's don't give me an athletic brewing beer. Yeah. Get me Gold Coast log with actual alcohol. Do it. Yeah, but why can't we have the big steins back? What happened though? They iconic. That is what is known in Hamburg. Drinking beers, German bratwurst and beers and just throwing a bucket of beer on your competitor.
00;16;34;26 - 00;16;51;26
Speaker 2
That's it. It's awesome. That's the best one of the year. Yeah, that was disappointing. I did see a photo of that. I think a lot of people sort of said, what the fuck? Yeah, I'm waiting for that. Exactly right. Anyway, I agree. Good call, good call. Matt Hauser too good. Three in a row, mate. Three in a row.
00;16;51;28 - 00;17;13;26
Speaker 2
I think he's. It's houses. Hamburg. I think he's one of. I don't think 2 or 3 people to have done that. Cassandra Grant's done it. Okay. Oh, has Emma Moffat might have done it? Oh, and Moffat might have done it. Can we miss Gomez? Fuck me. I think he wanted like, 4 or 5. No, no, no he didn't.
00;17;13;27 - 00;17;16;12
Speaker 2
No he didn't.
00;17;16;14 - 00;17;37;17
Speaker 2
Think. I think Muller. Maybe even Moffat. And one thing I did notice about Gomez and again, this is just kind of like related to the Hamburg post that we did the 20 years. That guy was around for a long time. Yeah, one Hamburg back in 2006 and then went to the Olympics in 2021. And then he raced other day rants against Brando.
00;17;37;18 - 00;17;56;00
Speaker 2
He just in China. He came out of retirement and came second to Brando or something. It's like it's like they it's like they've put him in the ice chamber every time. And just like, you know, in Captain America, he's like, he's like 110. It's like Gomez just goes into an ice capsule every like for five years. Good. Just as good, man.
00;17;56;02 - 00;18;15;25
Speaker 2
Like, the longevity of that guy's career is probably one of the best. It was the 2016 when he. That was that was sad. Yeah, that was sad because you'd almost think like that could have been 20, 2012. Well, I mean, 2012 would have been probably maybe closer to his year that 2012 to 2016 where he was just insane.
00;18;15;27 - 00;18;39;11
Speaker 2
Anyway, broke his wrist again, just off topic, but that was one thing I saw, but I'm pretty sure Mola Bow Grant and potentially Emma Moffat only other people would have gone three three peat in Hamburg. Yeah, yeah, Muller had a real dominant 2016 to 2018. I believe. But yeah, Maddie Hauser just stole the show and looked too good like he did.
00;18;39;12 - 00;19;05;12
Speaker 2
There just wasn't any point on that run where I thought he's not. He's. Yeah. He looks relaxed the whole time until he was chewing air down the finish. Shoot. God, it's insane when he chooses. He would have pushed himself but like across scary actually across the board. Like second out of the water front pack. Obviously the whole time with the bike just so strong and then he's just sitting, sitting in that pack makes his way to the front what, two k, three k in.
00;19;05;12 - 00;19;26;17
Speaker 2
And the first one I saw that I thought, oh that's early. You had a couple people pushed the pace after him and then like I think he kicked with about 700m. He went a while out. It's not like it was a, you know, last 200 meter dash is where you probably see Houser 700m out. It's a long, long way to be sprinting.
00;19;26;19 - 00;19;44;18
Speaker 2
Like and they were going for it. Which is exactly why Tudor he basically just got that three second gap that he needed. Vasco tried to go. I thought Graf might abridged, but held that three second gap for just the last sort of 600m. Got the gap so quickly, I know so quickly. It was literally a blink of an eye and Maddie Houser was gone.
00;19;44;19 - 00;20;05;13
Speaker 2
So, he's looking good again. Yeah, we we both picked him, I think like that. That kind of course, it's a, you know, far sort of 150, 200m of the first can get out. It's super dynamic. He just sits on Devey super punchy, technical. He's super smart on the bike as well. He just got that raw power. Yeah.
00;20;05;17 - 00;20;30;13
Speaker 2
You look at look at the physique I mean we're just sound like we're glazing Hauser a little bit here. But like he is just a fucking unit. So muscly man. He's a thoroughbred. Like, he's definitely a thoroughbred. Like, almost the complete opposite to what you'd expect. Like the old school stereotype of water triathlete. Looks like he's not that skinny bloke anymore.
00;20;30;15 - 00;20;46;27
Speaker 2
My mind immediately went to Henry Graf. I thought I thought he was I. This is so. He's just such a rogue off topic podcast. But that guy is like eight foot. He's he's he's from Wembley of triathlon. Because obviously we all know Hauser is like the big guy. And then I was all like Henry, like a head over him.
00;20;46;27 - 00;21;08;21
Speaker 2
I was like, he's obviously like he's super skinny and he's like that. He's not doesn't have the muscle on it, but who's like, he's fucking massive and he's runs come a long way. So like dangerously good. It's very good at the moment. We all know how good he is on the bike. The last couple of days he's been teetering like, oh like in that middle to the front park.
00;21;08;22 - 00;21;24;00
Speaker 2
Aguirre. He was taken out of the water. That's the only one I know. I in the same queue. Braun he was second pack. Second pack. And then Hamburg. He was just I think he was like he was in the main pack, but, like, teetering off the edge. Yeah. He had to ride into the main pack. I know what you mean.
00;21;24;00 - 00;21;44;03
Speaker 2
I have thought that as well. But. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know, maybe maybe he's, you know, put more eggs into his run basket. You do see that? You do see that the scales sort of tip. I mean, he's strong enough on the bike to get back up. Yeah. So he can probably afford to like, do a little bit less swimming.
00;21;44;03 - 00;22;08;18
Speaker 2
His runnings obviously come a long way and. Yeah. Fuck. He's gone. Well yeah. The only thing coming right back to the men's race houses in a very good position to from two wins. He's got a still race like pretty much the rest of the series to try and bank full points. Well the needs one more racer 4.4. They're taking full.
00;22;08;19 - 00;22;33;11
Speaker 2
They're taking for this year and then goes on 3850 points two wins two seconds. So what's so they got they've got London and then they've got Karlovy Vary and then way high. Yep. Then world champs then world champs. So for what one will house a miss I reckon will go the two in Europe. No sorry. I think he'll go London home.
00;22;33;13 - 00;22;53;08
Speaker 2
Yep. I reckon Vasco would almost just take what he's got. Then way high, then way higher. Come over way Holland, way over way. He seems to be one that can be a little bit less of a stacked field, obviously in China, not in Europe. But do you want to go Europe? I reckon he comes home because I know he's coming in one go.
00;22;53;09 - 00;23;12;05
Speaker 2
China. Sorry. Yeah, yeah, I think it's worth the risk. I think they look after you there. Yeah. Because I think if you're Vasco, what do you leave it there? I think you do. To be honest, I think maybe you go race one more like a very. Before the end of I was a year. He would suit a he would suit a color kind of course.
00;23;12;06 - 00;23;32;11
Speaker 2
Super strong rider small. He's light. Hilly. That's him kind of course. And then, I mean, but that's if he wants to get the full points, he's like 150 points away from full points, like he's not that far. Right. And I mean, last year was probably just a bit of a nominally with Hauser. Yeah. Full points all year.
00;23;32;11 - 00;23;55;20
Speaker 2
And it was one less race. So that's a I mean look here you go. In London he'd go way high. And then we're back to where we were last year for 4000 points going into the final clerk. So there you are. That was I guess, the men's women's peril now two two in a row. She could be doing the she could be joining that board of three peats three peat artist next year.
00;23;55;22 - 00;24;16;29
Speaker 2
Yeah. Such a good runner. She's so good to have to have those that that group of girls you had Leone Turkish Manson again like super close racing both in the men and women like eight seconds separating the podium in the men's 12. Second in the women's like it's so tight. Yeah. So tight. And just the we had Beth Potter not make the podium hair.
00;24;17;00 - 00;24;34;23
Speaker 2
Not make the podium like really, really good girls that have been on the podium. Taylor Spivey again. She loves coming forth. Yeah. Like love's coming forth. And it's now that 16 sub 16 minute run. Yeah. That's what you have to do in this women's field to like a 1550 and is what you have to run like all quicker.
00;24;34;23 - 00;24;53;14
Speaker 2
And we didn't even have the biggest name there. No. Yeah. Cassandra's off racing diamond League. Yeah. George Brown, was she there? George Taylor brown I not sure if she raised. Yeah I don't think GTP was there. So like, that's another big name like that's you put her in the bike leg and she's, you know, tearing some legs off the bike.
00;24;53;16 - 00;25;14;00
Speaker 2
So, the girls, the girls are almost, I think, in a trickier spot where, honestly, I think there's for the whole series fighting for a, for a, a race win than the men like. Yeah, I would agree. You look at that, you look at that probably top six there and and who's not in that top six Cassandra bro Grant's not there.
00;25;14;00 - 00;25;38;22
Speaker 2
Jean Le has not in that. Yeah George Taylor Brown's not in that for like Laura Lindemann Laura Lindemann and like that. Yeah. It's a very stacked women's field. Like the depth there and the running is his is gone up a level this year compared to last. Like the fact that two dimensions now running pretty much all the races five K under 16 minutes.
00;25;38;23 - 00;25;54;28
Speaker 2
Yeah. It's impressive. Like and that's another podium for her. Like she's hit super consistent. I mean all in triathlon did pick that that she was going to be really good.
00;25;55;00 - 00;26;18;19
Speaker 2
We're on one today. Get off it. I think I'm pretty sure we explained that. Yeah. Lightning bolt that two years ago. All in trial on your dogs. Taylor is done. Well, yeah, I think for a run race. Yeah, yeah a 14th usually you would see her like in a probably like a Taylor Brown who came from long course like a little, you know, stint in long course where they have that strong bike.
00;26;18;22 - 00;26;36;24
Speaker 2
It's good to see I guess. But I mean, if the bikes and good for the Americans to be fair, if the bikes aren't. I mean, we did say her and never really the only two carrying it. Yeah. So less we got ourselves out of the woodwork. So, but yeah, I mean, like, it's same as, like a probably why Taylor Knibb was, is also really good.
00;26;36;25 - 00;26;52;14
Speaker 2
Like, that's probably her saving grace in short course in terms George Taylor Brown, they're so strong on the bike so that when they are getting off you know what is a really, really hard bike for everybody else? It's really simply not as hard for them because they're so good on the bike. Spivey, she converts long course. Really?
00;26;52;14 - 00;27;12;26
Speaker 2
Well, she's really strong on the bike, so, I mean, she just loves coming forth. I know, I know, she's one that you got to feel bad for because, like, how many false can just off the podium loves the jockey medal. I wonder how many wins she's had. Like in her career. She's only had four career wins. I don't know what that would be in.
00;27;12;26 - 00;27;31;05
Speaker 2
And like, how many times have we seen Taylor? His name? Yeah, I know it's always there. It's always, always a top five. Always a top five. But just never quite. Yeah. Never quite on the podium. Only a couple times Beth put up a little bit off. A little bit off. You got to have one though. Yeah. Exactly right.
00;27;31;06 - 00;27;50;22
Speaker 2
It was, it was the same as Maddie Hauser in Cali last year came seventh I think. Or sixth. You got to have one. You can't win them all. Exactly. Can't win them all. Can't podium at all. It's probably the day to have an off day where Sandra wasn't there. Yeah. To like take a win in mind games. There's there's a bit of mind games between those two.
00;27;50;25 - 00;28;11;19
Speaker 2
But honestly man I'm still I'm massive on the only like I think she is so, so good. But if she got the national record for the the half marathon French national. How crazy is that? Now they've got three, three, five, ten and a half marathon. Yeah. Try all French triathletes. Yeah. And two women. Well, yeah. The French.
00;28;11;20 - 00;28;29;13
Speaker 2
Yeah. Well, yeah I mean like the. Yeah. The women records. Yeah. Yeah. So there you are. That's a guess. I think the women, the women's is going to be very similar to last year. It's going to you're going to have almost like I'm going to say six, six women going into Pontevedra, all with the potential chance of, of winning.
00;28;29;13 - 00;28;49;22
Speaker 2
And that Pontevedra course 100% can throw us back in the world. Yeah. So that's going to be super exciting. Okay. Probably the big ticket event of the weekend. I literally had a ticket. Yeah they did actually had an LA. This was your flight to LA. Yeah. Just hold on to this for the next three years. And it was the mixed relay championships.
00;28;49;24 - 00;29;18;21
Speaker 2
Yeah France obviously they won it. Kudos to France. Like they looked very good in Kiren with their mixed relay and they won it quite convincingly I guess. Not not convincing. I mean like Hamburg over Hamburg, Hungary were phenomenal. Yeah. Like they were the underdogs that massive not expect. No no no way. So for them to come out and I mean Konex is the guy that you want closing.
00;29;18;25 - 00;29;38;09
Speaker 2
Saw it in Quebec on Maddie. How's is not there. Codex is the guys how to do it. You want closing. He's a he's a sprint finish specialist. He's just got those fast twitch fibers to get you across the line. Song is great, but it's not going to be. He's no Dorian Koenig's. He's no Dorian Koenig. So, Yeah.
00;29;38;09 - 00;30;03;04
Speaker 2
There we are. France booked the, I guess the second slot of eight for the relay team in LA Olympics. So two boys. Two girls. That's a massive weight off the country. Shoulders this massive weight. And I probably see France getting the third. Oh, yeah. Definitely. When the women, definitely the women, men, you know, touch and go might need a bigger coming back.
00;30;03;05 - 00;30;23;01
Speaker 2
I think the core was on a start list at some point. So you don't they might just be substitutes but with. But then you have Niels Niels. So yeah. Yeah. Fourth, fourth on the weekends you're gonna have him Konex. Rashad. Yeah. You've got a few up there. Yeah. So I mean a bit of pressure off with the French system.
00;30;23;01 - 00;30;47;25
Speaker 2
Now they've got two and two, which is I mean the French are never happy are they know miserable. They'll want three. We've got you on now, squad. We know exactly how far out. No. Yeah. So that was guess the mixed reality. It was a bit of a there was a bit of a surprise. I mean, I was a little bit nervous when I saw how well the Americans were doing.
00;30;47;27 - 00;31;07;15
Speaker 2
For those that, you know, might have listened last week, I absolutely shit on them. Wrote them off. Yeah, I did, so thank God they weren't on the podium. They would have been fifth if the Aussies were there. There's no way they would have beaten the Aussies. But I mean, you know, Great Britain, Great Britain. So yeah, they're always there.
00;31;07;15 - 00;31;24;29
Speaker 2
Potter. Max safely just full of Ollie Conway. That's probably one of their best teams they're going to put forward realistically. Like you might swap a mean even then Alex. Yeah you've not been racing that great. So like. No it's hard to say. I mean the only other person I'd probably put in there is a kind of Bentley, maybe instead of a max.
00;31;24;29 - 00;31;45;07
Speaker 2
But then again, Max's slim black pedigree is so strong, and he was also there for about two and a half. K was in the individual race, so like he's obviously doing really well. That's the only substitute I'd potentially make. And that's a potentially. Yeah. You know, you maybe a GTB instead of just full of God. But then again, just Pflueger and GTV strokes are so similar.
00;31;45;09 - 00;32;02;26
Speaker 2
Oh, what I'm thinking is okay. What? Oh yeah, I don't know. There's about it's about four and four that you could pick for that Great Britain relay. Yeah. Be honest. Like for girls and for boys. You could put two of them. You can put two, two British teams in the, in the Olympics. They would be both top five.
00;32;02;29 - 00;32;26;09
Speaker 2
Probably both. Yeah. Potentially podium like it is insane. Michael guy would be really good in that leg as well. That second leg. But having all the Conway running home he's that's that's pretty deadly injuries really surprised the Germans fifth. Yeah I was a little bit disappointed but also confused about their pick of team. Don't get their team I mean like still great athletes.
00;32;26;09 - 00;32;46;05
Speaker 2
But you know where's the Laura Lindemann who won you the sprint finish. Why aren't we taking Henry Graf who came second or third the day before? Two huge picks that you've left out. See, I agree with like Tim Hellwig. Fair enough, because he's hugely. Yeah, he's won a medal at the Olympics, Olympic gold champ. And he was also in that front pack the day before.
00;32;46;06 - 00;33;03;28
Speaker 2
Yeah, he's he's in form right now. Yeah. But those middle two, two and three spots, I probably would have gone with a Henry Graf and the Laura Lindemann, to be honest, unless there's some strategic or, you know, there might have been a niggle, there might have been a bit of injury, sickness, whatnot. They obviously went to the well, I don't know.
00;33;03;29 - 00;33;22;29
Speaker 2
We don't know. This is we're just like outside outside perspective looking in. But that's their two guys that you got to have in that. Yeah. But for like an immediate slot two slots. Yeah I would have been all in on this relay. That would have been my main focus. Such an early open door like like it just relaxes.
00;33;23;01 - 00;33;39;03
Speaker 2
You know, we've got two, we've got two we don't have. I know Germany is probably going to get two and two anyway because they have the quality athletes. It's just a relaxer. Yeah. And again you're realistically just got to be inside the top eight. But you just want to make sure that you are you just want to make sure that you're there.
00;33;39;04 - 00;33;57;16
Speaker 2
Yeah we're ready. Get that ticket. So and I think the Germans you know, I thought they were going to be on the podium saying sure with the Aussies I obviously picked, you know, Australia, France, Germany. So I'm surprised that, yeah, I'm surprised that they didn't really put their best team forward in my opinion. Again, something could have happened.
00;33;57;16 - 00;34;21;29
Speaker 2
But unfortunately for Australia we had racial starting and not unfortunately. No, not not that unfortunately. She was saying no that's wrong. But unfortunately she suffered. Is it some kind of medical from what I was told she was medically. Yeah. So some some something medically happened on the bike and she was. Yeah. I asked her to continue. Came down a little bit on the bike.
00;34;22;01 - 00;34;40;14
Speaker 2
Low speed I'm pretty sure. So. Think she's fine. She, she was in hospital. But yeah, hopefully, hopefully she's okay because that's, that's you know, there's never a time that you want to hear that in athletes. No. Exactly. Gone down with, you know, a medical condition in any way. So yeah, unfortunately we weren't able to see the strengths of the Aussies.
00;34;40;14 - 00;35;03;15
Speaker 2
But you know, first and foremost, you want the athletes to be exactly right. Yeah. So, yeah, it'll be it'll be exciting to see what, what we're able to put forth in the future. Because I still think that like that relay team right there. You know, it's probably the there could be a couple couple potential slots. You know, you can you can move you can have arguments for all I guess.
00;35;03;16 - 00;35;27;06
Speaker 2
Yeah. So yeah I think the cheap besides my house, that's the only one no one's arguing with. Oh I mean, maybe I could probably take his. I couldn't even finish that. Shut up. I couldn't even ballocks. I couldn't even joke about that one. I was like, Rochelle Spot. No. Yeah, that's obviously a joke. Anyway, yeah, that was the Aussies.
00;35;27;06 - 00;35;48;06
Speaker 2
But that'll be back. They'll be back and rest up Rochelle. Always back. Yeah. Take it easy. Take it easy. Take it easy. Well. What? You had another gripe, actually. Oh, I did have another girl. You're in a griping mood, but I go back to port. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Get old. Yeah. You do the retirement villages. Makes it makes its way into you.
00;35;48;08 - 00;36;10;17
Speaker 2
One more thing. What is with these intros again? Yeah, they're a bit much, aren't they? They're too much. Why are we seeing Hayden? Wild dog? Is it. Is it a conic or is it. Oh, I sounded like a bloody 16 year old girl there. Is it iconic? What is it about that? I don't know, it's just different. Yeah.
00;36;10;18 - 00;36;35;16
Speaker 2
It's different, but, like, it's a fucking triathlon, bro. Yeah. It's out. Dogs out. I'm pretty sure I'm banned from saying anything about Hayden. So this is all. You know, it's just like the whole. It's fucking weird. The whole, like, intros just do like. Yeah. As we said, just put your hands up in the air, give us a wave, a thumbs up.
00;36;35;18 - 00;36;55;18
Speaker 2
And we're not we're not being bicycle. We don't want the Aussies. We don't want anything on for like too long. Okay guys. Like, yeah we're racing here. Yeah. Although I think that's funny. And we should do the ray gun or like, you know, the Nutbush or something like that. Oh, see. Come on. You can't you can't have a cake and eat it.
00;36;55;21 - 00;37;16;04
Speaker 2
You bit like super contradicting dog Parker. Like, that's that's also a lot. Like that would be good. Okay. I don't know. No, I, I I'm sorry. I'm not on your side now because I don't know what you want. Well, just just keep it traditional. Is it just hands in the air? It just leaves the dog at home. That's.
00;37;16;04 - 00;37;41;18
Speaker 2
That's all it sounds like. Leave the dog at home. Well, yeah, I I don't get it. We should bring an alligator out next time. An alligator. Crocodiles bring a Joey. Yeah, we got Skippy. He's me. Wombat, get the Tassie devils. You bring your national fucking animal. We've got the kangaroo anger and the emu. And then I was riding the emu.
00;37;41;20 - 00;38;08;24
Speaker 2
And then we have New Zealand bringing out the kiwi. They're like bringing in a. Yeah. Pavlova, man. Yeah. That's what was they. They claimed the pap over and far lap. Fucking kiwis. Fucking Kiwis anyway. No I just, I just think like let's, let's just relax the intros okay. Like you don't have team friends bringing out a big baguette like I don't know.
00;38;08;25 - 00;38;15;27
Speaker 2
Well, I've actually got that.
00;38;15;29 - 00;38;19;11
Speaker 2
I don't know what you're thinking.
00;38;19;14 - 00;38;41;19
Speaker 2
Bringing out two big, big somebody French may get. I don't know, God, that you get a twin. All righty. Alex. Moving on. Cassandra. Bro. Grant. Monaco, diamond league. My God, they're just two of the coolest cats getting around in the sport, aren't they? They are. I wish they were still racing. I know they're just. They just both looks so cool when they doing it.
00;38;41;19 - 00;39;05;22
Speaker 2
They're running and they're like superstars. And anyway, Olympic, Olympic champions. Maybe. Maybe running is dead. Trying to bring in the trial for an Olympic champions. Literally. Alex G crazy to be upset with the 1326. You know, you know, you're playing on a different level when he's gone. Not too happy with my 1325 is pretty bad all year.
00;39;05;23 - 00;39;26;27
Speaker 2
Yeah. Fuck. You know like in our in our run sheet here we've got in a stacked field. He's looking sharp and it's an indicator for the rest of the season. He was upset with it I know like I don't know I can't remember what exactly he wanted to run but I don't know I mean the winners of that race I think ran 1250 around.
00;39;27;03 - 00;39;46;22
Speaker 2
Maybe he wanted to be closer to 13. Not too sure. It's up to 15, which is just fucking diabolical. That's crazy. It makes me sick thinking how fast that is. What pace is that? Don't want to know. I don't know, 40 or something. Yuck. Wow. Sandra Grant as well. That is not another national record. She has a 3000, 5010 thousand British.
00;39;46;23 - 00;40;05;25
Speaker 2
I asked this every time I know, would I be able to run? Do you reckon you could run at eight 3250 pace three Katie. Fuck, I'd be in the box as rapid. That is rapid. 253 K it's. And again I say it every time. That's fast. You talk to the girls in our squad and they just shit themselves.
00;40;05;26 - 00;40;25;18
Speaker 2
Like that's what I have to do. Yeah. Was like us going, Alex, that's what I have to do. Yeah. But I mean, no, the the huge key difference with these two is we just got to swim in right away from LQG. You're not swimming to riding around Cassandra I, Sandra Cassandra O'Brien. Well, that's true. Yeah, but she's a front pack.
00;40;25;18 - 00;40;42;07
Speaker 2
Sumo. Yeah, yeah, she's in the front pack. What are you doing with that? Yeah, exactly. With Alex, at least you're hoping you can. Okay. Like, surely we can. We can get him on the swim at least. Yeah, it's like crotchety, you know, whipping him up. Like, how's our weeping, Merce Graf? Like, go sled dogs. Like they take us away from him.
00;40;42;07 - 00;41;00;08
Speaker 2
But like Cassandra, she's. She's pulling you to the run. Yeah. Fuck. It's just gross. That is. I'd hate to be a girl right now. The girl in the sport of triathlon. I'm sorry. But, yeah, I think it's. I think it is very impressive that we're starting to see the crossover, the crossover between how good triathletes are in.
00;41;00;09 - 00;41;22;22
Speaker 2
Yeah, it's it's finally going, now because there was obviously like the stigma of, oh, you're just average at all three. Yeah. You know, now it's like, well the world class you got hate and wild in the New Zealand time Trial Championships. You know there was I mean I don't know how serious it was, but they talk about Blumenfeld being in the tour like it is really starting to correspond.
00;41;22;23 - 00;41;46;09
Speaker 2
Yeah, exactly. I mean, these guys running, you know, like. And just to have, like, the French national records from 21 K to 3000m. Yeah. I think the only thing we haven't been able to dip into is the swimming. Yeah. The swimmers. Yeah, but they're freaks, I think. I think there's the, Oh is his name, but that's a lot of time in the pool when you're dedicating so much time to writing and running.
00;41;46;14 - 00;42;08;13
Speaker 2
Who was the open water swimmer? Oh, Varga. Richard Varga, he qualified for the I'm going to say Rio open water swim. Oh, wow. Slovakia. But they pretty sure they have open water swimmers. I'm sure they would I I'm not 100% confident that. So don't quote me. But I'm pretty sure he qualified. Or maybe he could have be or like something something along those lines.
00;42;08;13 - 00;42;29;02
Speaker 2
So, yeah, he was really good. So that's it. That's it though. That's it. I reckon Devey could. A few of them watching. Watching marked a swim is also terrifying. How fast is He-Man watching? Watching him get to the first cam before Hauser and then just like, swim away from everyone, realize, oh, shit, I've actually I've accidentally come here.
00;42;29;04 - 00;42;42;08
Speaker 2
Let's go on to a quick. Guys, guys, sorry. I'll come back to you now. Do a couple backstroke. I'll chill it down. How's I get on my feet? And I'll bring you back the rest of the way. You're an asshole. Yeah. Why does he do that? Why doesn't he just absolutely rip it? Because then he's going to be fucked with the bike.
00;42;42;10 - 00;43;01;15
Speaker 2
I know, but like, you got him doing that crop. Go did that in Salman Khan at the start of the year. So, Yeah. Fish. Those Hungarians, they are. They seriously are. Again, I think we're off track. Don't know how we got there, but, anyway, that is that's the running. That's Monaco. Back to triathlon. Back to try on World Cup Edmonton.
00;43;01;16 - 00;43;23;26
Speaker 2
Yep. This weekend we're over in Canada. That's cool. The home of Tyler missile drop. Yeah. So that was the the racing Edmond it looks like. Is it where they race around like pretty much is residential, man. I'm gonna be completely honest. I got no idea. I think I was watching Edmonton 2021 was world champs. Well I was just run around a bunch of houses.
00;43;23;26 - 00;43;46;07
Speaker 2
Yeah. No. Yeah. No. Yeah. Of the hill. Yeah. Yeah. It does look very. Brando went really well. Brandon got an eighth. Yeah, yeah. Sorry. Yeah, I've just clicked on the game. Yeah. So it looks like they're just running around, like, quintessential Canadian residential side. Not like an unreal spectating. I don't know if they just don't get around it in Canada, but it didn't look unreal.
00;43;46;08 - 00;44;07;15
Speaker 2
No. Anyway, they're going to race in there anyway. So that's a World Cup pretty stacked field. It is a very good field. Like fair few people off altitude obviously in America. Yeah. I haven't seen Tyler race. He raised the taco. Why not? I'm thinking World Series, though. Oh, no. No, maybe he's just doing a big training block at the moment.
00;44;07;16 - 00;44;25;18
Speaker 2
Maybe leading to the back end of the year. Yeah, potentially just trying to get some points, trying to get some fitness. But I think I feel like just being Canadian, he's very, very proud Canadian race in Canada. He'll want to win this. Yeah. He'll want to win this. This is a big one for him. So maybe let's go for some headers in the men's field.
00;44;25;18 - 00;44;49;07
Speaker 2
Who do we have their doing our picks or are we doing. Oh we just mentioned some some headers. It's Tyler Reese fencing Nathan Gray you missed. You Miss Kinder there. He's a gun kind of was kind of gone blacker Nicola as owner Simon Westerman. You negro Kenji.
00;44;49;10 - 00;45;10;05
Speaker 2
Kenji, can you spend a bit off? The last has been a few races. I think those are like 2023 to 2024. He was doing really well, but, yeah, been a little bit off this year. Looks like his swim was good on the weekend. Just didn't quite run very well. Yeah. Not looking like the engineer of old. No.
00;45;10;07 - 00;45;39;11
Speaker 2
Hopefully he can come back, get another Olympics in him. James Corbett, who else? Martin clock call. Mitch Coltman, Jaylen Schofield going over some big names here. Darcy Williams making his World Cup debut. Yep. The brothers are there. They love racing everywhere in the world. Jordan, Rick, Dylan, McCulloch. All be interesting to see where Dylan McCulloch is on the World Cup back.
00;45;39;17 - 00;45;57;10
Speaker 2
So that'll be interesting. That's a highlight athlete there. I mean, we obviously know we can swim black like and absolute freak, but it'll be good to see where the run stacks up against some of these bigger international names. Yeah. Whether he'll just go off the front. Honestly I think like he could do with the running power that's there.
00;45;57;11 - 00;46;11;12
Speaker 2
Yeah. You're probably looking like a good place to try and get away. You got the likes of Tyler Mitchell and like Reese lightning there like you just. Yeah got Corsi. Do we like Reese Lightning or Gracie Risi.
00;46;11;15 - 00;46;23;28
Speaker 2
Right. Does that mean I wasn't meant in a mean manner? I wasn't trying I wasn't trying to be rude, that I was being serious. Would he find that mean? Sorry. Gracie racing.
00;46;24;00 - 00;46;45;04
Speaker 2
You probably find it pretty mean, I think. Okay, we'll go race lightning, Reese. Lightning base lightning. But now I really want to say greasy. Risky. Restarting. We'll go. Reese. Reese! Lightning. It is. Slightly. They're the stars of the show. Give us your picks. Okay. I've put down, tall and Mr. Chuck. Yeah, the win in Canada. He's the homegrown.
00;46;45;05 - 00;47;03;15
Speaker 2
I think it's going to be a bit of a run race, to be honest. Okay. Still kind of, you know, be a bit of, like a front pack bit run race. I don't think the Negro will be there, though. Nikola as only. Why did you think, Negro? I said, I don't think the Negro will be there. Okay.
00;47;03;18 - 00;47;21;27
Speaker 2
And then Nathan Grail, that is a run. That is a run race specialist right there. Yeah, I'm going to be honest. That is a very weird podium. Just pick some very fast runners. Is is okay. But as you know, I was want the break. But then why didn't you put race lightning in there? I think it's been a bit off.
00;47;21;28 - 00;47;42;18
Speaker 2
He has been a bit off. That is so good point. Yeah. Okay. Well whatever I think I think he's struggled a bit coming back from breaking his collarbone. We're going to start putting some punishments onto these like on these picks again because I think they're a bit like oh well it doesn't matter if I get it wrong. I feel like you just throw names and hope for the best with no consequences.
00;47;42;18 - 00;48;00;06
Speaker 2
There needs to be consequences for your actions, I think. I think we need to start like making some consequences for your actions of just picking some absolutely Hail Marys and just, well, the Hail Marys are good. Okay. Yeah, that's what we like. Well, I've gone the same. I agree with you, Tyler. He's he's just going to take it out on home soil.
00;48;00;06 - 00;48;19;13
Speaker 2
I got a, I can never remember how to say his name. I think it's Gibby O'Connell in second. He's had some pretty good results. He's a he was a front pack in the front pack in key Braun. And I think he's running pretty well. So I think at the World Cup level he'll show that. And then I got Nikola Zana okay.
00;48;19;15 - 00;48;32;03
Speaker 2
The Italian in third round out the podium. Interesting race. Lightning fourth. Oh just because I want to say race lightning.
00;48;32;05 - 00;48;56;02
Speaker 2
Into the women's golf big hitters. Malek Marcia Copco. Yep. Scary swim. Mum. Minima. Haitian. Me okay. No, I don't know the Japanese athlete. She's actually very good. Okay. She's very good. I think she won in soccer, but she's like the next up and comer and she's young. She's very young. Oh, the full name specialist. Rosa Maria Vidal.
00;48;56;03 - 00;49;18;19
Speaker 2
Yeah, she's very she's. I think she's been a little bit off this year, to be honest. There's a very render. Hrodna. Rodina. Sorry. Oh, man. Anyway, Canadian as well. Yeah. Big, big header. She was in the cup. Outran Aspen Anderson for the win. You should win it in April. Yeah yeah I think she was on the podium there the year before.
00;49;18;20 - 00;49;50;15
Speaker 2
Yeah in the World Cup. Yeah yeah. She's very gunfight. Finney's lies. Yep. We have Charlotte Doshi coming back from Louisville. Injury. Naomi rough. She's been good at a Conti level. Obviously she podium the other day in T-virus. Silly question. Leah Konex, sister of Dorian Konex. Don't know. Surely. Wife? No. Surely. Sister. Sister. Maybe. Barbara de Kooning.
00;49;50;18 - 00;50;11;20
Speaker 2
I think she posed. No she didn't. Wrong one. That's okay. And then I think there's a few more. We have Taylor Knibb in there. Allari Zain, she can do anything. I think she's been a little bit off this year. Again. It is so funny seeing like these massive names ranked so far. Yeah, you got to scroll so far down now.
00;50;11;21 - 00;50;29;11
Speaker 2
Otherwise you miss it because there are people that are coming. Thorpe. Yeah, another one that hasn't raced in such a long time. You've got people that are just coming out of the woodwork again from, you know, there might have gone long, they might have had an injury. Yeah. And they're all like down the bottom. So it takes a little while to get to the big names, other big names.
00;50;29;12 - 00;50;51;29
Speaker 2
Okay, give us your picks, Lockey. I'm just going to go off recent form and I think she's been very, very strong. Is Fanny's a lie really good sumo. Really good cyclist. If there is any sniff of a breakaway, she'll be there and she'll run to a win. Great winning tizzy. And then I got Desiree. Right now, I think she's also usually a bit of a front pack specialist, and she's a great runner.
00;50;52;02 - 00;51;11;13
Speaker 2
And I got Taylor did. She's going to be building on the, the form that she had going into Nicki run. Tizzy Vares. I don't think her running is quite back to the short course form yet, but she's so good at biking. Should we freshen that? Everybody else. Okay, I've gone for the Canadian Desiree. Hrodna? Yep. Then I've gone.
00;51;11;13 - 00;51;39;05
Speaker 2
Face lies. Obviously very good form. And then Taylor Knibb. So basically very similar. Very similar podium. I mean, we've got the same podium, just different order at the World Cup level. It doesn't. I feel like it it doesn't like you say, the cream rises to the top. So it's like you've got the really, really good guys at the top who I mean, there's going to be some probably Hail Marys thrown in there, but yeah, it's usually pretty set in stone.
00;51;39;06 - 00;51;57;18
Speaker 2
We'll be watching. Probably not the best time to watch for us. Probably not. It's probably usually I want like three days behind or something over there. Yeah. What's what's it. It's it's just gone Friday over there at the moment I think it's Tuesday here. I think they're they're about to start their weekend. Yeah. Anyway that's about it.
00;51;57;20 - 00;52;15;07
Speaker 2
That is really big. Big another big apple. Just absolutely talking nonsense. So rubbish. If you've made it, if you've made it to the end of this episode, kudos I applaud you. That is great. A lot of rubbish spoken. Leighton will be back next week, probably with some more gripes. Is in real, like we said, real griping mood at the moment, so apologize for that.
00;52;15;07 - 00;52;29;20
Speaker 2
If he's offended any of you, just absolutely give it to him in the Dems. Anyway, that is episode again. Still can't remember season two. Thank you very much for listening. We are your host and we look forward to seeing you next week. Thank you. Good bye.
