- 0:24Speaker 3: Crago's World A parody song that James Macona you sug
- 0:28Speaker 3: A parody song on the Olympics. I was trying to
- 0:30Speaker 3: find it before, but you're going to have to sing
- 0:31Speaker 3: the chorus acapella right now, James.
- 0:34Speaker 4: All right, the old Paris Paris, who's headluck in Paris.
- 0:41Speaker 3: And you got you got athletes as well to your
- 0:43Speaker 3: New Zealand athletes who had a head luck in Paris
- 0:46Speaker 3: who won gold medals to mal the long as well.
- 0:48Speaker 3: I mean that's you know, that's that's high concept.
- 0:51Speaker 4: You're never sure if they're going to go Actually, I
- 0:53Speaker 4: don't want to be part of this. Usually they won
- 0:56Speaker 4: a medal, so they're on this high and they don't
- 0:58Speaker 4: know what they're agreeing to.
- 1:00Speaker 2: That's them in a week moment, Paris Parish in Paris
- 1:03Speaker 2: it's great, love it, love it. I felt like we've
- 1:05Speaker 2: got a let the last to performance just then though from.
- 1:07Speaker 5: You, James, Okay, yeah you did, you did.
- 1:14Speaker 3: It's been along a couple of weeks the Olympics. I'm
- 1:16Speaker 3: actually I'm really genuinely going to miss it. I've loved
- 1:19Speaker 3: watching it and it's been our greatest ever Olympics ever
- 1:22Speaker 3: for New Zealand. So many highlights you've been there to
- 1:24Speaker 3: witness them. I mean, it's probably hard to pick one,
- 1:27Speaker 3: but pick one one or two of your favorite highlights.
- 1:30Speaker 4: Look, I actually think for me that one of the
- 1:32Speaker 4: big highlights was seeing the skateboard park the men's final
- 1:37Speaker 4: and got to interview Tony Hawk.
- 1:41Speaker 5: Yeah, Tony Hawk, you go, so we're back, John.
- 1:45Speaker 2: What did you ask Tony Hawk?
- 1:48Speaker 4: Just the usual shots? Like I sort of just did
- 1:50Speaker 4: that thing. He was really supposed to be walking past.
- 1:53Speaker 4: He was with his wife, and I sort of dragged
- 1:56Speaker 4: and pulled him away and pulled him off in front
- 1:58Speaker 4: of his wife and said, look, what do you think
- 2:03Speaker 4: of the final? And how about what you know skateboarding
- 2:06Speaker 4: being in the Olympics and all that sort of stuff,
- 2:08Speaker 4: and then gave him there, you're still the goat, Tony,
- 2:11Speaker 4: I love you.
- 2:12Speaker 3: It must be hard not to sort of fanboy out
- 2:15Speaker 3: in front of some of these people. I know in
- 2:16Speaker 3: the past you've had Kobe Bryant and the previous Olympooks
- 2:20Speaker 3: and you asked him why there weren't many cats around
- 2:22Speaker 3: or something.
- 2:23Speaker 5: Yeah, I know, I just thought that they weren't.
- 2:25Speaker 1: I hadn't seen many, you know, things sometimes were.
- 2:29Speaker 5: There was probably a waste of a question.
- 2:33Speaker 3: Kobe Bryant, legendary basketball had he noticed the lack of cats?
- 2:38Speaker 5: Yeah? He was like, I'm not quite sure, man. Yeah.
- 2:41Speaker 5: Same like, yeah, it's a real mystery, Kobe.
- 2:44Speaker 4: And now he's gone on and be able to find it,
- 2:47Speaker 4: you know, like give him the second chance of asking
- 2:49Speaker 4: him any more questions.
- 2:50Speaker 5: But I actually I interviewed.
- 2:53Speaker 4: My biggest interview of the Olympics, honestly is interviewing Raygan,
- 2:58Speaker 4: the Australia breakdowncer who she broke the internet as well.
- 3:03Speaker 4: She has gone viral after her arriving kind of Kath
- 3:07Speaker 4: and Kim like performance in the women's breakdancing.
- 3:11Speaker 3: Yeah. I feel sorry for her, you know, because everyone's
- 3:13Speaker 3: sort of pile as the internet does a piled on.
- 3:15Speaker 3: But she looked like she was having fun out there
- 3:17Speaker 3: and she spoke really well, I thought in her interview with.
- 3:18Speaker 4: You, Yeah, I mean she feels like she has a
- 3:22Speaker 4: place here, and she was legit. I actually thought it
- 3:24Speaker 4: might have been a plant, like someone who decided to
- 3:28Speaker 4: just come in and take the piss. I mean, you
- 3:30Speaker 4: realize when you're laughing at someone's routine, that's probably not
- 3:34Speaker 4: what you're you know, like supposed to be the reaction
- 3:37Speaker 4: you're supposed to be getting. And she was in a
- 3:40Speaker 4: full assy trick suit. She looked like a lawn bowler
- 3:42Speaker 4: and she was kind of but I know what you're saying.
- 3:45Speaker 5: I don't like the pylon either.
- 3:48Speaker 1: It was it was always going to happen when you
- 3:50Speaker 1: saw what she was doing.
- 3:50Speaker 5: There were a couple of kangaroo moves.
- 3:52Speaker 1: She looked to be like mopping the floor with her head.
- 3:56Speaker 5: Yeah, it's just stuff where she.
- 3:57Speaker 1: Almost got stuck on the ground for a bit as well.
- 4:00Speaker 2: I was thinking the same thing. I was like, it's
- 4:01Speaker 2: like this like a genius boor at moment where someone
- 4:04Speaker 2: has gone through the qualifying stages to get to them
- 4:07Speaker 2: and they're going to reveal their prank video.
- 4:10Speaker 3: She won the Oceania Championship so she was she deserved
- 4:13Speaker 3: the place there as well. Yeah, as I said, I
- 4:15Speaker 3: don't know if she deserved the pylon, but anyway.
- 4:17Speaker 4: Yeah, the pylon's not and she qualified, right, Like what
- 4:20Speaker 4: was New Zealand doing?
- 4:21Speaker 5: Why didn't we send Razor?
- 4:22Speaker 1: I mean.
- 4:25Speaker 3: We right, Yeah, so New Zealand's best Olympics overall, that
- 4:34Speaker 3: felt like we started slow, James, and then in the
- 4:37Speaker 3: end we really brought home a lot of metals.
- 4:39Speaker 4: Yeah, we came home strong, and like I think that
- 4:42Speaker 4: this week just looking at obviously to go in the boat,
- 4:44Speaker 4: Dame Lisa Karrington, that's huge, lids to the co just
- 4:48Speaker 4: dropping the mic and saying it's my last Olympics.
- 4:51Speaker 1: I've won gold.
- 4:53Speaker 5: You can have this. I mean, golf shouldn't really.
- 4:55Speaker 4: Be at the Olympics, right, they already got you know,
- 4:58Speaker 4: four majors year five in women's golf.
- 5:01Speaker 5: So but the fact that now is not the time.
- 5:03Speaker 2: Now is not the time to be saying that, James,
- 5:05Speaker 2: we just want gold.
- 5:06Speaker 5: Keep it there. No, she's finishing now, so we can
- 5:08Speaker 5: we can cancel golf.
- 5:11Speaker 2: You can have golf back.
- 5:13Speaker 5: Yeah, you can have it back now. We don't need it.
- 5:15Speaker 5: So there was loads and then I mean Hamish.
- 5:18Speaker 4: Kurr free Kish to win that high jump gold medal
- 5:21Speaker 4: we've never seen.
- 5:22Speaker 1: I mean, athletics gold is really hard to come by.
- 5:26Speaker 4: Unless you're Jamaican or something, But for New Zealand it's
- 5:29Speaker 4: just you just don't often see it. I mean we've
- 5:31Speaker 4: we've had horses that have jumped really high at the
- 5:33Speaker 4: Olympics and one goal, but never humans.
- 5:38Speaker 2: And how do you rank your Olympics? Was this James
- 5:41Speaker 2: mccaroney's best Olympics ever?
- 5:42Speaker 5: I know it remains to be seen.
- 5:44Speaker 4: I think that like there's one of those Olympics where
- 5:46Speaker 4: you just you look back at the others and I
- 5:48Speaker 4: think when I was purely with crowd goes wild, we
- 5:51Speaker 4: just basically went wherever we want wanted to and went,
- 5:54Speaker 4: oh mahes rowing today, let's go see what Marhe's doing.
- 5:57Speaker 5: Whereas this year I was more.
- 5:59Speaker 4: Part of the Sky broadcast and doing a lot of
- 6:02Speaker 4: sort of live crosses.
- 6:03Speaker 5: And having to be pretty sensible. So maybe is it
- 6:06Speaker 5: my most sensible look?
- 6:09Speaker 3: I like that it was.
- 6:10Speaker 2: Weighed down by the shackles of proper presenting.
- 6:14Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, you've got to do something, You've got to
- 6:16Speaker 4: do the proper thing, do what you got to do
- 6:17Speaker 4: to get the trip.
- 6:18Speaker 5: John O, well, well down.
- 6:19Speaker 3: Do you got the trip? Okay? Away from the Olympics.
- 6:21Speaker 3: James mcconi's highlight was it a meal? Was it at
- 6:25Speaker 3: seeing something out? What did you say?
- 6:27Speaker 4: Okay this I shouldn't even share this. But my mate,
- 6:29Speaker 4: who's done reasonably well, he said to me, do.
- 6:32Speaker 5: You want to come out for dinner?
- 6:33Speaker 1: And I said, oh, yeah, cool it.
- 6:35Speaker 4: He goes, it's a Michelin star restaurant and the meal
- 6:38Speaker 4: of set menu is six hundred and eighty euros per person.
- 6:42Speaker 5: So is that twelve hundred euros?
- 6:45Speaker 4: And I said, no, I'm going to mate, I'll just
- 6:47Speaker 4: go down to the canal and have a pizza like
- 6:49Speaker 4: I normally do.
- 6:50Speaker 1: So he goes, no, ill my shout. So I went
- 6:52Speaker 1: to this degastation.
- 6:56Speaker 4: Dinner and this fancy, fancy restaurant eating weird stuff like
- 7:01Speaker 4: obviously there's the heavy sort of thing needle, just.
- 7:05Speaker 2: Bizarre needle like sting stinging plant.
- 7:10Speaker 4: Yeah, I think so, but I mean I don't know.
- 7:12Speaker 4: There was just all sorts of stuff going on.
- 7:18Speaker 2: It feels like the more the more you pay, the
- 7:20Speaker 2: more strange the food combos is.
- 7:22Speaker 4: Yeah, yes, so we're just eating all these weird plants
- 7:24Speaker 4: that you're pretty much weeds and stuff, and then but
- 7:27Speaker 4: you have to say you like it. It was a
- 7:29Speaker 4: two thousand euro meal for just of weeds, and.
