For Australian shooter Elena Galiabovitch, her third Olympics didn't exactly go to plan. Competing in both the 10m air pistol and 25m pistol events, she performed below where she expected to be and left Paris bottling her experiences up and not wanting to talk about them. But as we welcome back Elena to the show today, she finally opens up about her experiences at the Games in 2024 and find out just what happened and how she now feels about the prospect of continuing on towards a fourth Olympics. It's a deep and emotional dive into the psyche of an Olympian like you've never heard before, as we not only cover the lows of Paris, but also find out how those lows were transformed into some moments that she now can reflect back on with a smile on her face.

History was made last month in Australian winter sport when for the first ever time at a World Cup, Australia swept a podium in the women's freestyle skiing aerials at Deer Valley. In fact it wasn't just a podium sweep for Australia, with the top four places all belonging to athletes wearing the green and gold.

Since first joining us on the podcast in 2023, Stacey Hymer has continued her rise through the sport of taekwondo that saw her go all the way to her second Olympics in Paris in 2024. It was a rise that also saw her took gold at the Pacific Games in the lead up to her second Olympics, a gold medal that Hymer used as a spurring point as she pushed to break Australia's 24-year medal drought in Olympic taekwondo. And although an Olympic medal wasn't to be for Hymer in Paris, she took a lot away from her time at the Games in a whole variety of different ways. In this great chat with Hymer, she details exactly what those ways were and lets us know that even despite losing in the first round at the Olympics for a second time, still is still able to reflect back on her experience as one of the greatest days of her life. She also explains how she is using her added Olympic experience towards growing the sport more in Australia and just how she hopes to use that in a push to a third Olympics in LA in 2028 and just what she may use it for in Brisbane in 2032. It's another increidbly open and honest chat with Stacey that you won't want to miss!

Since last appearing on this podcast, Grace Brown has gone on to massive things. The Australian cyclist created history in Paris at her second Olympics by becoming the first ever Australian woman to medal in the road time trial, a medal that just happened to be gold. The gold medal was Australia's first of their record breaking Paris 2024 campaign, and also happened to be the first ever summer gold medal for a member of Team OTP. Grace then added two World Championship gold medals to her name a month later, and retired from the sport. And in another great chat with Brown, she goes over her incredible 2024 and just how she was able to achieve such amazing success, and how some unique lead up events that many would find hard to deal with might have actually helped her on her path to glory.

Added to this we learn more about the etiquette of pin trading when actually at an Olympics, just why there is an endless amount of Olympic pins out there with no perfect collection ever possible and find out how asking for a certain pin in Paris could've very much led to the death of someone had they given it up.

We hear from Nick about why his Beijing experience wasn't exactly what he was hoping it to be but how it helped spur him on in continue in the sport and track towards his second Olympics next year.

Wow. What a ride. Our longest TV recap series ever has come to a close, and after a whopping 10 seasons, 216 episodes, a TV movie, video game and two spinoff episodes of an animated show, we have finished our 24 recaps. That's a lot of Jack Bauer and Kiefer Sutherland to talk about! But who is complaining about that?! Ben and Colin certainly aren't, although they may be complaining a little bit that it has to end today as we bring you the final episode on 24 by going over the series as a whole one more time!

So get your towels, bombs, moles, torture and cougars ready to go as we bring to a close one hell of a recap series covering one hell of a show! ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

We did it. We survived 24: Legacy. But we still have one more episode to talk about. That episode being the season. Which doesn't make sense when we put it like that, but you know what we mean. Our last episode on the crap pile that is Legacy is us talking about the entire season one. Which technically is the entire series. So that's fun right? Well we're about to find out. It gives us one more chance to talk about Carter, Rebecca and John and find out just how esteemed actors such as Corey Hawkins, Miranda Otto and Jimmy Smits were wasted in a show such as this. We also learn more on our thoughts about wasting Tony and Carlos Bernard, see if we have figured out why Edgar having a cousin is important and try and get to the bottom once and for all about why the hell anyone thought a 24 show would be good without Jack Bauer. We then somehow will find five moments that we think are the best to rank in order for our top moments of the season, and close out the show that we have loved by talking about a spinoff that we hate. It's all here and more in our 24: Legacy recap! ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

And if you have that champagne, make sure you drink plenty of it to numb yourself for the pain that is this episode. It's terrible. So so terrible. Don't say we didn't warn you. Get to it. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

So close to the end of 24: Legacy that we are getting pumped as we recap episode ten of season one, 9pm-10pm. Why are we excited to see some fire a field? Is that the best part of this episode? Maybe even the season? We actually don't care enough to talk about it any more, so how about you just listen and make your mind up. Because again, we're watching and talking about 24: Legacy which isn't that great. We apologise. Next. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

The last disc of 24: Legacy is here as we thankfully get closer to the end by recapping episode nine of season one, 8pm-9pm. Why would we rather be watching Dirty Dancing than this? Why would we rather be watching Manifest than this? Is there any part of this plot that is making sense? Who are these new characters they keep introducing and why do we need to care about them? Is Isaac the only decent character all season? And why do we care about Eric getting a letter? We're lost for words as to how to even to talk about this so just listen and help us get it all over with. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Torture your ears one more time today with another 24: Legacy recap as we go over the eighth episode of season one, 7pm-8pm. Is there anything of substance in this episode? Why is the boss guy in CTU the worst boss in the history of this show and so boring we can't even remember his name? Is the writing of this episode actually kind of racist? Why does Andy getting stabbed in the leg make no sense for his character based on his reaction? Do we care that the guy from The Mummy randomly shows up and who even is he? And why are we trying to even talk about this with anything else but pain? Just listen and get it over with. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Yeah we know, 24: Legacy time. Boo. So let's get another episode over and done with by recapping episode seven of season one, 6pm-7pm. It's boring. Nothing really happens. Tony is back for whatever reason. That's about all you need to know. So listen to get it over and done with and be closer for it to all be over. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Well some good news for 24: Legacy today as we reach the halfway point of the season! Yay! So let's get closer to the end by recapping episode six of season one, 5pm-6pm. Is this the most interesting episode so far? Do we actually like the big shock of the terrorist attack happening? Why is this big moment of the episode not the big cliff-hanger? Is Carter a terrible person and why is his brother the better brother for Nicole? And do we even care to be doing these episodes anymore? You know the answer to that, so perhaps you should listen and just also help getting these done with as well. Get to it. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

It's time to once again suffer through another 24: Legacy episode as we recap episode five of season one, 4pm-5pm. It sucks. Really. It's bad. So that's all we're going to say. Listen to it if you have to. Otherwise do something better with your day. You're welcome.  ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Tick yourself into torture with more 24: Legacy as we recap episode four of season one, 3pm-4pm. Is this the most boring episode of all time? Do we even have anything to talk about here? Why does a smoke bomb turn off security at CTU? Why does a coffee table disable a henchman? How does air in a syringe kill a person? And do we even have anything else to add? Ugh. Probably not. Let's just get this over with. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

It's time for a very sad day on The Oz Network as for the last ever time, we bring you a film recap. And what a way to close it out, as we go over the cult classic that is the 2010 film, and one of Colin's favourites, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. Why has Ben pissed off Colin perhaps the most of any episode in our history? Why doesn't Ben like this movie? Why is Colin so in love with this movie? Is Ben just not smart enough to get this movie? Why would we like to replace our furniture with an actor in this movie? How many Canadian references can we get by watching this movie? How much do we love Michael Cera? Is Knives the character in this film? How great are Brandon Routh and Chris Evans? Do we prefer a different Mark Webber than the Mark Webber in this movie? And does Colin finally get to kill Ben in this episode after all these years of wanting to? Get your ears into the zone for one last movie recap as we bring our movie arm of the podcast to a close in style! ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Another episode of 24: Legacy for you to suffer through today as we go over episode three of season one, 2pm-3pm. Is Andy the only good thing about  this episode? Or is it the train scene? How bad is the Sweet Valley High stuff getting? How bad is the brother's girlfriend storyline getting? How stupid is Eric being helped by the cops after holding them hostage? Why are there bad wigs all of a sudden on this show? Is Rebecca the world's worst interrogator? And can we find anything to positive to say at all? Tick and get this over with quickly as we get closer and closer to the end of this show. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Another sad day on this show as we have to talk about 24: Legacy again as we recap episode two of season one, 1pm-2pm. How bad is this episode? Why on earth are we caring about a guy we just met robbing a police station? Is $2 million really the maximum amount of cash you carry in a bag? Why are we watching Sweet Valley High so much? Why are we caring about professor pedo killing a student? Do we care about the side plots around Jimmy Smits and his apparently terrorist aide? Which character in this episode is perhaps the worst of all time? Why is Miranda Otto tying up people? And are we done with this season yet? Ugh, just listen and get it done with. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Ugh. We're here. 24: Legacy. We're sorry. But at least we can start off with the episode that doesn't truly suck. Right? Well, it sucks, but not as bad as the others. So let's get to recapping it shall we? Sure. Okay. Here is our recap of 24: Legacy season one, episode one, 12pm-1pm. Why are we setting a time limit on these episodes? What is rubbing us the wrong way from the minute this starts? How on earth was this a Super Bowl lead out program? Is the Edgar Styles connection the worst random connection of all time? Are we at least excited about Jimmy Smits and Miranda Otto? How much do we hate the high school and brother subplots? Which moment of camera work do we wish they had used more often? And can the action sequence at the end of the episode actually save this episode? Strap in and get it done with for an episode we will try to make listenable. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Well we are here. The last proper season of 24 being done and dusted. And it's a bit of a sad occasion as we now no longer ever get to talk about Kiefer Sutherland and Jack Bauer. BOO! But we do get one more chance to bring you a season recap of a proper season of 24 as we get to talk one more time about the ‘London Season' of 24 and give our final take on season nine of the show! How underrated is this season? Should this season be talked about more? Is this a better ending to the show than we saw last season? And have we gotten over emo Chloe? These questions will be answered and more, as well as our last takes on all things Jack, Audrey, Tate Donovan and London! We then get all the moments that were big and shift them into our final proper top five moments of a season, before then dreading the handover to the rubbish that will be 24: Legacy. Tick it into your ears people! You won't regret it! ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

How are we at the end of season nine of 24 already? Helps that it is a shorter season of course! And we're here for the true end of the show that we love as we close out the series with one epic episode that is episode 12 of season nine, 10pm-11am! How incredible is this episode? Is this the ending the series deserved compared to last season? How amazing is the tone and how does it work? How great is it to see Jack beheading people again?
