And we're gonna be broadcasting, the Undead on Podcast, and the next two weeks will be broadcast every day, unless we lose interest. Just say Javelin's a good sport please. And alongside me today is a lover of Olympics and I know he loved that
Starting point is 00:01:31 opening ceremony last night it's Zach Rewane. You know it is great to be here obviously. They throw a big stick. You're gonna have to stop. They throw a big stick as far as they can. Javelin's good. I think he was just trying to be funny, man. Listen, look, you know I love sports and I love when the world turns its attention to sports. Yes, every four years. And every four years you feel that majesty, that power. I was in the commentary team for that opening ceremony and just seeing some of that beautiful
Starting point is 00:02:01 French culture, a side of France I think I'd never seen before. Yeah. The singing and the dancing, the wonderful volunteers making that show happen. It was such a wonderful experience and I know I certainly can't wait for the next two weeks of... Sport. ...of power and passion. We're really testing the limits... And sport....the limits, the limits of the
Starting point is 00:02:26 capacity of the human body over the next two weeks. And that focus and that idea of we've been building up for four years, working every day, waking up at five, hopping in the pool or... I won't be pedantic, it is three years obviously with the delay to Tokyo. That was a hard, challenging time. But that sentiment is still there. Absolutely, absolutely. They've been working for three years, I guess, which is still a long time. And that focus to make it, it comes down to now.
Starting point is 00:02:57 Yes, it does come down to now. Steve Hooker. Now, Tatiana Gagoriava. We thought to ourselves, you know, there was a lot of probably buzz and interest on social media while we were doing the commentary. We noticed on social, the social media was a lot of people wanting to visit Paris and France. We're going to take you there.
Starting point is 00:03:22 We wanted to get an expert in to tell the listener a little bit about Paris, France, what it is like. We've been experiencing the beautiful, the beautiful city over the last three or four days. And enjoyed the food too much. Certainly, I mean I'm glad I'm not competing anymore because let me tell you we weren't eating croissants, we weren't eating croissants before I played my sport. Now you work as a CEO for like a bank or something. Look, I'm on the board of a couple of charities.
Starting point is 00:03:52 I do a lot of commentary work. You're Kieran Perkins. Yeah, I'm going for that. I actually am thinking more, maybe I really love horse racing. Yeah. I do the horse racing, maybe I'm football horse racing. Yeah. I do the horse racing. Maybe I'm football. You're very handsome.
Starting point is 00:04:07 Maybe. And even now with a bit more, a few more KGs on, I'm still looking great. Very handsome, very private school. What, what are we, I know you introduced me to Zach, but I think we should give this guy a name. Yeah, call him Biglinoleum. Biglinoleum, I'm Biglinoleum. Now, uh.
Starting point is 00:04:22 He's a handsome private schoolboy who competed in the Olympics. And let me tell you, I might not have ever won gold. And the funny thing about this guy, he's handsome as fuck but he's got three dicks coming out one shoulder. Yeah, I do, absolutely. Like little like cysts. Like little, yeah, just full dicks flapping about. But here's the spirit of the games.
Starting point is 00:04:44 Here's the thing, it's a... But he said they were like little cysts and you said they were full dicks. They are cyst-ish but full dicks. A full dick. Big cysts. They grow out of the shoulder much like a cyst. The result is a full dick. So it is full-sized. Full-sized dick, yeah. And Mark's here as well, I think. Mark is here. Yeah, kind of. I'm kind of, yeah. I've been popping in and out, but mostly just been waiting. It's a true story about, and I think it's good context, is Mark didn't sleep last night. No.
Starting point is 00:05:17 I haven't slept the last two nights because I've- Humble brag. A humble brag. I got back from a trip overseas. We're in Paris. I was in... We're in Paris. We're in Cannes.
Starting point is 00:05:29 We're in Paris now. We're in Paris right now. Oh, we're in Paris. Yes, we're in Paris right now. But I got back from Cannes. What do you love about the games? Pardon? What do you love about the games?
Starting point is 00:05:42 Biglenn Ollien wants to know. About the Olympic Games? Yeah. We'll be bringing on our guest soon, but let's ask Mark first. What do you think of the games, Mark? I love it. Well, before I was trying to say, you said they're all shit sports. I think Javelin's a great one. Yeah, I know you think that.
Starting point is 00:06:02 Yeah, I was just trying to get that across. Did you think you needed to just railroad my beautiful Olympics intro? I just wanted to, for any fans of sport, Olympic sports that were out there listening, I wanted them to know that they were heard. When they... I was going to say that they... When you said all the shit sports, I reckon there would have been some people that were ready to switch off.
Starting point is 00:06:22 Why not? Clearly I think that there's good sports. I think I would have got him back. I would have reeled him in. I really think he was just going for a gag. I know that it was off the money and I know that it was... Big linoleum has a point. But I think he was just trying to add some colour, flavour to his intro.
Starting point is 00:06:40 And I think we can cut him a little bit slack. Well I would say that the flavour that you added was coriander which is not for everyone Some people taste like dish soap my other people they're reminded in their barn me. Yeah Now my my wife She's an influencer. She's here with me She said that she's having a beautiful time in in Paris and You had some troubles a few years ago but you're back together. We did, yep.
Starting point is 00:07:08 What happened? Down in Geelong, you're a Geelong couple. I did sleep with one of my team mates' wives. So I slept with one of my team mates' wives and it was a tough time for all of us. Obviously I was a little bit... You're actually from Brisbane. I was a little bit... You're actually from Brisbane. I was a little bit distracted. I was in a bad...
Starting point is 00:07:27 I was having a... It was a bad time in my relationship. Distracted. You know, it wasn't an easy time for me. So when I repeated... The actual act. ...the life of my... What's that?
Starting point is 00:07:41 The actual act. Listen, I don't think we need to talk about that. I'm back with my wife. She's forgiven me. One more question. I've forgiven myself. One more question. Yeah. Did you use the dicks on your shoulder or are they they're not they're not? They're pure. Are they ornamental? Listen, You added that layer to the character. I don't think I'm prepared to really incorporate it beyond an aesthetic choice. Yeah, great. So that's, I hear that is you used your normal dick.
Starting point is 00:08:03 Yeah, I'll just use my normal dick. And my, you know, and my, you know, the other appendages one would use when making... When you're getting your shirts tailored... I cut a hole out for the dicks. Yeah, three, this was going to be my question, three individual holes and you let them hang loose or do you have like a sock, not a sock, but a dick-shaped sort of cavity sewn on three separate... Do you understand what I'm trying to explain here? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:34 I've got a hole, I've got one hole. Because I can't see you because you're wearing a thick coat. It's a nice, and it's nice clothes though. I can see that's an expensive shirt you're wearing and a nice coat over it. I can see the bumps where the dicks are but it's under the coat. Yeah. Do you know the Olympics only goes for two weeks? We know that. We're doing an episode every day that the Olympics comes out.
Starting point is 00:08:50 Also fucking know that cunt. I'm just saying it surprises me. I will fuck your wife. Big linoleum. Big linoleum. I will fuck your wife. Big linoleum? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:01 Linoleum. Big linoleum. Big linoleum. Big linoleum. You don't need to fuck my wife because we're disagreeing. You don't need to. Now... I love the races. You could. You could. You could have anyone on earth. We are, my wife and I, we're very open. We're into some kooky crazy stuff, man. My wife loves getting into her finest clothes thanks to David Jones and heading to the races. Yeah, absolutely. And can you bring it back to the Olympics?
Starting point is 00:09:26 Absolutely we can. So now we saw social media... Also you have helicopter blades coming out of your head. Sure thing. You know, absolutely I do. Big little no. But they don't work. No, no, no, no.
Starting point is 00:09:37 They're just... Ornamental. Everything I'm adding is ornamental. They worked for a short time and I used to be able to fly, but now not so much. Did they help in your sport at the Olympics? No, I added them afterwards, sort of a publicity stunt. It was when I was doing Breakfast Radio, the producer convinced me that we were struggling up against, we were struggling against Kyle and Jackie Owen. The producer convinced me to add a helicopter rotors to my head, said that it would boost
Starting point is 00:10:10 the ratings. And did it? It was two weeks before we were cancelled. Really? I got helicopter rotors surgically attached to my head in a desperate attempt to beat Kyle and Jackie Owen. Now I sat next to him on the business class flight here. It was horrible.
Starting point is 00:10:30 Because of the danger factor. No, I just don't think Eddie had her up to, for the business class experience, I expect a lot more. I expect pajamas, I expect, you know, being able to press the button anytime and see the wine. The helicopter riders fold there. Oh, they fold, right. It's like, you know, the plane that killed Osama bin Laden? I'm aware. able to press the button anytime and see the wine. The helicopter riders fold there. Oh they fold, right.
Starting point is 00:10:45 It's like the plane that killed Osama bin Laden. I'm aware. Seal Team Six, they have those like, they fold. Imagine like, very expensive blades. Very expensive. Very expensive to remove. But we did get a boost. I mean, we came second on the Friday that I got them.
Starting point is 00:11:02 You also have hips for feet. Yeah. I do? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah man. I don't think I do. Yeah you do.
Starting point is 00:11:12 I'm sorry I've yes and no. Dude I've been looking at your feet all fucking day and I'm like cunt's got hips for feet. Dude I'm wearing. I'm wearing um. Well I've named him Biglan Holyam. He's got three d Dude, I'm wearing, I'm wearing, um. I've named him Bigglinolium. He's got three dicks coming out of his shoulder. He's got helicopter blades coming out of his head at his jaw on the line.
Starting point is 00:11:32 That hips. I'm wearing RM Williams, mate. How can you even see my feet? I guess it's easy for him to draw the line when you've got pencils for hands. That I'll take, that I'll do. That I'll take. He's got, he's Bigglinolium. He's a pencils for hands. That I'll take, that I'll take. He's got big linoleum, he's a private school, he's a private...
Starting point is 00:11:50 He's the most normal character I've ever brought to the table. He audibly sounds like a normal private school Olympian. But he visually is a horrid looking gentleman, like beautiful face. Their faces are still very together. That's a thick lead as well, that's a two beat. The point where the helicopter is attached to my head is quite sort of body horror grotesquely sewn. But the front of my face, very beautiful, very handsome guy.
Starting point is 00:12:23 You're the guy who replaced Koshy in my head. I don't know who replaced Koshy. I think there's a particular AFL player commentator that I'm thinking of that I've got in my head. But you know, just very handsome. I see Matt Shervington. Very tall. I think I see Matt Shervington as well. What does he have?
Starting point is 00:12:41 What physical ailment? He looks normal. Ah, right. Or traditional. Handsome. Handsome. I'm a handsome man. Right. My wife... With helicopter blades coming out of his head.
Starting point is 00:12:49 Except for the helicopter. Three dicks on his shoulder and pencil. Hands for hands. And not hips for... really? Not hips for feet? No, that's silly. How did I... how was I... Surgery. No.
Starting point is 00:13:03 No. Just this thing with big linoleium. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He takes 90% offers and then like a por... like just refutes. There are some things that are too far for me. Well, I'm a real man. I'm a real person. And I do have a helicopter on my head. I do have pencils for hands.
Starting point is 00:13:22 And what you don't have is a know-how of how to get around Paris. No and that's why we've got our, thank God we've got two normal characters to work off this. Yeah that's what I was sort of trying to set up with a straight guy for this character but no. You're pretty normal. Yeah I mean I talk normal. It's all visual man. It's not gonna get in the way of any of the bullshit you have to say. That's true. Don't set up that this character needs to pick anything up. If they need to write something down, we are set.
Starting point is 00:13:51 Yeah, we're so fucked. Well, except for the fact that it's really hard to sharpen my hands and there's a great value to that. What was your life like? Because if I'm using up lead and need to then sharpen, I mean I'm losing my hands. Yeah. Did they not regenerate? No. Well don't use it. Don't use it. Well if it's very important. Yeah very important. Like very important. If you're on a plane and you have your little custom thing to fill out on the plane. I
Starting point is 00:14:15 take a pencil. Yeah yeah yeah I would say. But I signed for quite romantically. I signed my marriage. Yeah. My marriage with my hands. And that marriage for a while then hit a rocky road. It was a rocky road, you know, and it was a tough time. But we got through it and she still loves me. And now, you know, we went to the races just three weeks ago in beautiful David Jones. I would say it's sad for me. I know most about your marriage and you through the Daily Mail.
Starting point is 00:14:49 That is tough, you know, and the media has a lot to answer for. That's why we sued them. That's why we sued them last year. And did you win? We did, yeah. Yeah, we did. And I gave all of the winning money to charity, but it was just there was a line. We had to draw a line in the sand.
Starting point is 00:15:04 With your hands? Yeah. What's that? With your hands? money to charity, but it was just there was a line. We had to draw a line in the sand and that was just... With your hands? Yeah. What's that? With your hands? Yes, yes, because I'm not actually using lead when I draw a line in the sand. I wouldn't draw a line in paper. In that sense, you've just got big sharp sticks.
Starting point is 00:15:16 Yeah. For hands. Yeah, that's fine. Big linoleum, you are charming. You are great at hosting. You are dangerous if you turn that turn your head on Yeah, it doesn't work anymore. It stopped working. Oh really but it doesn't change the fact that you would be dangerous Well, they promised that they would remove it and then they canceled the show But you got a boost at the end of the first week. Was that a mango tango or was that a very good?
Starting point is 00:15:43 No, no, that was a boost in the ratings. Oh, right. Oh, I understand. But we still didn't beat Carl and Jackie O. I mean, who can? They are on top of the... No-one will ever bring them down. Well, VVFever Nick is a great show. But what I will say is you are a great host, a great writer. I was in Sydney. I was based in Sydney, so different.
Starting point is 00:16:04 Different, right. Different to them, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But you weren't national? No, we were Sydney based. You can be based in Sydney, but you can... No. Oh, I mean, I think they packaged it up and sent it out to a few regional stations. But that wasn't really my business.
Starting point is 00:16:21 Did I fly? With your head? Yeah, we did like a little promo thing on the second week. So I got the surgery on the Friday. Yeah. And I was recovering and they just did interviews. They covered. You know, they had someone else.
Starting point is 00:16:34 And then on the last week, I flew over Sydney Harbor. Yeah. Just in my nice suit, I flew over Sydney harbour as like a promo. It didn't help at all. From what I understand, Kerry Stokes had already made the decision. Right, okay. But when did the pencils for hands happen? Were you born like that?
Starting point is 00:17:01 Yeah, I was born like that. Don't need pencils for hands to run. To run? I was a sprinter. He is just mashable. Yes, right, right. You know, you introduce that. I just out of curiosity. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:16 Did you ever poke anyone's eyes out when you were running? Because I can imagine. No, I mean, I was just... Have you ever, like, have you ever poked someone's eyes with your hands while you were running? Well I don't have two giant pencils on my hands. But do you understand what I'm saying right? So what you're talking about is the severity of the pencils.
Starting point is 00:17:35 I'm trying to put myself in your shoes but I'm not sure what's in your shoes, hips or feet. Feet. Now can I just explain to you, have you ever with your fingers, you're talking about the severity of a pencil going into the eye, have you ever with your fingers touched someone's eye or poked someone's eye while racing them in a running race? Yes. Okay, well I haven't.
Starting point is 00:17:56 Alright. And that's what separates us. That's why I'm a champion. And why I'm not. And you're not. Well I'm just Mark, I'm just hanging out. You haven't slept. I never claimed to'm a champion. And why I'm not. And you're not. Well, I'm just Mark. I'm just hanging out. You haven't slept. I never claimed to be a champion.
