About the episode
We’ve got Gina Rinehart-levels of gold flowing in the pool thanks to Ariane Titmus and Kaylee McKeown, and a swimming team that is pleasing its AOC masters by rag-dolling socials with regular viral content.But while this may be keeping John Coates happy, what about the locals in Japan? Is there anything in the COVID marshall handbook for negotiating a gyrating white man? And why does the IOC bristle about podium trivialities, but couldn’t care less about a profanity voiced by Rebecca Gibney?Once this is sorted, we talk about the ASMR-qualities of Ian Thorpe, blokes in Kathmandu puffer jackets and a repechage for Good Strong Women, before wrapping it up with daggy parents and China’s tactic of conquering the West by body-shaming it’s own female weightlifters.Audio production courtesy of Tim ‘T-Dog’ Eldridge.
