Cam Duggan and Gerard McGowan, two-thirds of the excellent Mugg Off Podcast, join the show as part of our special 'Olympic Reflections' mini-series.

We discuss Eric 'The Eel' Moussambani, who stole our hearts at Sydney 2000 despite coming from a country which didn't have an Olympic pool. How did he get into the Olympics? Why didn't someone jump in to help a bloke who was clearly drowning in front of our eyes? Where is he now? 

We then go on to reflect on cult hero Jai Taurima, the larrikin athlete who used to put his ciggies out in the long jump sandpit. Apparently he's an AFP officer now, which is disappointing.  

The Mugg Off is an elite comedy podcast hosted by three blokes from Sydney's inner west. Download it wherever you get your podcasts. Cam and Gerry can be found on Insta at @cameron_duggan and @gerardmcomedy. 

Elite audio production from Tim 'T-Dog' Eldridge; graphic design thanks to Julia Edwards.
