1 00:00:07,133 --> 00:00:10,453 Speaker 1: You're listening to the Saturday Morning with Jack Team podcast 2 00:00:10,573 --> 00:00:13,893 Speaker 1: from News Talks at b Back in. 3 00:00:13,693 --> 00:00:18,053 Speaker 2: Twenty sixteen, I had the great pleasure and privilege of 4 00:00:18,133 --> 00:00:21,413 Speaker 2: going to see Bruce Springsteen perform at MetLife Stadium in 5 00:00:21,453 --> 00:00:23,653 Speaker 2: New Jersey. And at the time, it was his longest 6 00:00:23,693 --> 00:00:26,933 Speaker 2: ever concert. So he played for four hours. He and 7 00:00:26,973 --> 00:00:29,133 Speaker 2: the E Street Band played for four hours. I'm gonna 8 00:00:29,133 --> 00:00:34,693 Speaker 2: be honest with you, it was too long. By the end. 9 00:00:34,733 --> 00:00:36,333 Speaker 3: I was like, I get it, I get it. 10 00:00:36,813 --> 00:00:40,333 Speaker 2: You know, is there anyone here from a small town? Yep, yep, 11 00:00:40,453 --> 00:00:43,373 Speaker 2: I think I got the shtick bangs Bruce. Anyway, it 12 00:00:43,573 --> 00:00:47,813 Speaker 2: was an amazing thing to attend, you know. Anyway it was. 13 00:00:47,933 --> 00:00:49,613 Speaker 2: It was an amazing thing to attend. I'm very grateful 14 00:00:49,653 --> 00:00:51,573 Speaker 2: for it, but I'm also grateful that I'm not going 15 00:00:51,573 --> 00:00:53,533 Speaker 2: to another four hour concert anyway. I've double checked the 16 00:00:53,573 --> 00:00:56,893 Speaker 2: length of the Springsteen film, So Springsteen Delivered Me from 17 00:00:56,893 --> 00:01:00,213 Speaker 2: Nowhere is less than two and a half hours, so 18 00:01:00,453 --> 00:01:03,773 Speaker 2: ninety minutes shorter than that concert was at MetLife Stadium 19 00:01:03,853 --> 00:01:06,213 Speaker 2: a couple of years ago. But it stars Jeremy Allen 20 00:01:06,213 --> 00:01:08,333 Speaker 2: wa the guy from the Beer It's actually kind of 21 00:01:08,413 --> 00:01:11,533 Speaker 2: amazing how similar. He and young Bruce Springsteen look to 22 00:01:11,573 --> 00:01:15,173 Speaker 2: each other like he's perfectly cast. So we're gonna get 23 00:01:15,173 --> 00:01:18,333 Speaker 2: our film reviewers thoughts on that biopic very shortly. Right 24 00:01:18,333 --> 00:01:20,053 Speaker 2: now the time to catch it up with our sporto 25 00:01:20,293 --> 00:01:24,493 Speaker 2: Andrew Samil is him Jack. 26 00:01:24,893 --> 00:01:26,813 Speaker 3: I'd love to go and see Springsteen in New Jersey. 27 00:01:26,853 --> 00:01:28,493 Speaker 3: That would be one of it was it was. 28 00:01:28,653 --> 00:01:29,773 Speaker 2: It was a bucketless thing. 29 00:01:29,653 --> 00:01:31,213 Speaker 4: Although I'd rather go and see HM at a smaller 30 00:01:31,253 --> 00:01:33,293 Speaker 4: venue I think than what is an eighty thousand seat 31 00:01:33,333 --> 00:01:34,373 Speaker 4: stadium that NFL. 32 00:01:35,053 --> 00:01:39,053 Speaker 2: It wasn't an intimate experience. But and yeah, like I 33 00:01:39,213 --> 00:01:41,613 Speaker 2: was like two hours deepats like this has been amazing, 34 00:01:42,013 --> 00:01:44,253 Speaker 2: two and a half hours, depas like this really has 35 00:01:44,693 --> 00:01:47,333 Speaker 2: been amazing, three and a half hours. Defase, like you 36 00:01:47,333 --> 00:01:50,813 Speaker 2: know what I'm I think, I yeah. 37 00:01:51,133 --> 00:01:53,333 Speaker 4: I think maybe maybe he gets it. Maybe he gets 38 00:01:53,333 --> 00:01:56,933 Speaker 4: a cut of the food and beverage. So longer the year, obviously, 39 00:01:56,973 --> 00:01:59,133 Speaker 4: the more you spend. Now my understanding is that actor 40 00:02:00,133 --> 00:02:02,853 Speaker 4: didn't sing or doesn't sing, and didn't play and he's 41 00:02:02,853 --> 00:02:07,773 Speaker 4: never played guitar, and yeah, he he does an outstanding job. 42 00:02:07,893 --> 00:02:09,053 Speaker 2: Yeah, well have you seen it? 43 00:02:09,933 --> 00:02:11,933 Speaker 3: I've seen I've seen enough snippets and you know how. 44 00:02:11,853 --> 00:02:14,173 Speaker 2: I've done the late the late the late night TV 45 00:02:14,333 --> 00:02:19,733 Speaker 2: show chat circuit to go, gee, this guy's good. He's 46 00:02:19,933 --> 00:02:21,413 Speaker 2: I mean, he's a he's a bit of a heart throb, 47 00:02:21,453 --> 00:02:25,573 Speaker 2: apparently Jeremy Allen White and so, and he's got that thing, 48 00:02:25,613 --> 00:02:27,573 Speaker 2: you know. Young Bruce Springsteen was you know, kind of 49 00:02:27,693 --> 00:02:29,653 Speaker 2: very fit and muscular and stuff and sort of has 50 00:02:29,653 --> 00:02:32,613 Speaker 2: a quite this is gonna sound weird, but quite like 51 00:02:32,613 --> 00:02:37,333 Speaker 2: a muscular neck. So when he's playing and crying and 52 00:02:36,613 --> 00:02:39,053 Speaker 2: and and singing and stuff, and on stage you often 53 00:02:39,093 --> 00:02:43,133 Speaker 2: see like he's all he looks really fain popping out. 54 00:02:43,213 --> 00:02:44,573 Speaker 2: That's it, you know what I mean. And so he's 55 00:02:44,573 --> 00:02:46,893 Speaker 2: sort of got that look. Absolutely nailed to reckon. 56 00:02:47,693 --> 00:02:50,733 Speaker 4: Anyway, speaking of speaking of baby, we were born to 57 00:02:50,813 --> 00:02:58,373 Speaker 4: run Otago versus Canterbury this afternoon in christ Church. I think, Jack, 58 00:02:58,453 --> 00:03:01,333 Speaker 4: I know who you'll be going for. And I'm as 59 00:03:01,373 --> 00:03:03,413 Speaker 4: far as the head's concerned, I'm sort of leaning a 60 00:03:03,453 --> 00:03:06,533 Speaker 4: little bit towards Canterbury because they've got a lot more 61 00:03:06,573 --> 00:03:08,813 Speaker 4: super rugby players in that team. They've got all blacks 62 00:03:08,813 --> 00:03:11,213 Speaker 4: on that team. They've got some big, big game experience, 63 00:03:11,213 --> 00:03:13,373 Speaker 4: even though they haven't won the NPC for seven eight years. 64 00:03:13,413 --> 00:03:16,613 Speaker 4: I think it is there's that big game experience as 65 00:03:16,613 --> 00:03:20,333 Speaker 4: a hometown advantage. However, gee, I've loved watching this Otago 66 00:03:20,413 --> 00:03:25,173 Speaker 4: team this year. Guys like Dylan Pledger, Lucas Casey, the 67 00:03:25,213 --> 00:03:28,133 Speaker 4: young flanker who are going to have long, long futures 68 00:03:28,733 --> 00:03:33,013 Speaker 4: in the game. They've been fantastic to watch. This Otago 69 00:03:33,093 --> 00:03:35,933 Speaker 4: team reminds me of the side of the nineties who 70 00:03:35,973 --> 00:03:37,853 Speaker 4: won the title a couple of times. 71 00:03:38,253 --> 00:03:40,293 Speaker 3: They play with a. 72 00:03:40,213 --> 00:03:43,573 Speaker 4: Lot of woomp up front, but also play with a 73 00:03:43,573 --> 00:03:46,973 Speaker 4: lot of abandoned throwing the ball around out wide. 74 00:03:47,093 --> 00:03:49,093 Speaker 3: So this should be a good game. Should be a 75 00:03:49,093 --> 00:03:49,533 Speaker 3: good game. 76 00:03:49,773 --> 00:03:52,453 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it'd be amazing. And as much as 77 00:03:52,493 --> 00:03:56,573 Speaker 2: of course the Hearts is Canterbury, the Heart also says 78 00:03:56,613 --> 00:04:00,013 Speaker 2: that if Canterbury were to go down and were to 79 00:04:00,013 --> 00:04:02,933 Speaker 2: get up, I'm not going to lose a moment's sleep. 80 00:04:02,973 --> 00:04:05,693 Speaker 2: I'd be delighted for a Tiger if they did get up. Yeah, 81 00:04:05,733 --> 00:04:09,413 Speaker 2: you know, I'm still the loyalties aren't being tested as such, 82 00:04:09,813 --> 00:04:13,253 Speaker 2: but it would be. It would be fantastic. 83 00:04:13,693 --> 00:04:15,893 Speaker 4: I think my head, my head goes with Canby because 84 00:04:15,893 --> 00:04:18,893 Speaker 4: of that big game experience. But the heart Rugby heart 85 00:04:18,893 --> 00:04:20,653 Speaker 4: would want to see You know, a province that hasn't 86 00:04:20,653 --> 00:04:22,933 Speaker 4: won it for nearly thirty years and only won it 87 00:04:22,933 --> 00:04:28,133 Speaker 4: twice in fifty years, wouldn't mind seeing Otago would It'd 88 00:04:28,133 --> 00:04:30,413 Speaker 4: be great for the game in the South too. 89 00:04:30,613 --> 00:04:33,653 Speaker 2: So how much are you reading into this situation with 90 00:04:34,213 --> 00:04:37,333 Speaker 2: Allback's assistant coach Jason Holland deciding not to hang around. 91 00:04:38,013 --> 00:04:41,693 Speaker 4: Yeah, Look, I think the bottom line is Jack if 92 00:04:41,733 --> 00:04:46,213 Speaker 4: he was still enjoying his role, yeah, and was offered 93 00:04:46,253 --> 00:04:49,373 Speaker 4: another deal in which I'd imagine he would have been 94 00:04:49,453 --> 00:04:52,373 Speaker 4: if he was enjoying it. Look, I think Jason Holland's 95 00:04:52,373 --> 00:04:56,253 Speaker 4: a pretty good coach. He had he had some good 96 00:04:56,373 --> 00:04:59,453 Speaker 4: a good run with the Hurricanes, a super stupid rugby 97 00:04:59,453 --> 00:05:02,173 Speaker 4: head coach. I think if he was enjoying the environment 98 00:05:02,813 --> 00:05:05,413 Speaker 4: that overused word, and if he was enjoying coaching and 99 00:05:05,453 --> 00:05:07,773 Speaker 4: loving coaching at that level, and let's face it, it's 100 00:05:07,813 --> 00:05:10,853 Speaker 4: a coach's dream job to be involved with your black somehow, 101 00:05:11,253 --> 00:05:13,933 Speaker 4: he would be staying on. I just don't think he's 102 00:05:14,053 --> 00:05:19,533 Speaker 4: enjoying that environment at the moment. And unfortunately I'm hearing 103 00:05:19,573 --> 00:05:23,253 Speaker 4: that from a few people right that things just continue 104 00:05:23,253 --> 00:05:25,293 Speaker 4: not to click in this all black side. 105 00:05:25,733 --> 00:05:26,373 Speaker 3: Maybe they will. 106 00:05:26,373 --> 00:05:28,453 Speaker 4: On this Grand Slam tour, they get away from home, 107 00:05:28,493 --> 00:05:31,413 Speaker 4: they get away from it all four big big games 108 00:05:31,453 --> 00:05:36,133 Speaker 4: in a row, especially Ireland and England. Maybe they'll win 109 00:05:36,253 --> 00:05:38,933 Speaker 4: for in a row and things will pick up. But 110 00:05:38,973 --> 00:05:44,613 Speaker 4: I just think given another season of almost one step forward, 111 00:05:44,653 --> 00:05:47,613 Speaker 4: two steps back, you know, I'm hearing that that things 112 00:05:48,133 --> 00:05:50,053 Speaker 4: are going to have to improve if this team wants 113 00:05:50,093 --> 00:05:51,333 Speaker 4: to keep on winning consistently. 114 00:05:51,533 --> 00:05:54,213 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's interesting. I will watch the space, I guess, 115 00:05:54,293 --> 00:05:57,173 Speaker 2: especially with that upcoming Northern Tour and pretty disappointing in 116 00:05:57,213 --> 00:05:59,413 Speaker 2: the end for the White fans missing the semi final 117 00:05:59,453 --> 00:06:00,453 Speaker 2: in the World Cape. 118 00:06:00,973 --> 00:06:03,293 Speaker 4: Yeah, it is just just quickly on this. I think, Look, 119 00:06:03,453 --> 00:06:05,333 Speaker 4: no matter how hard they work, and I'm sure they have, 120 00:06:05,453 --> 00:06:08,213 Speaker 4: they try hard before the Cup and the you know, 121 00:06:08,213 --> 00:06:10,493 Speaker 4: the rain's been frustrating. Let's face, I still don't know 122 00:06:10,533 --> 00:06:12,213 Speaker 4: if they would have made the top four even if 123 00:06:12,253 --> 00:06:15,893 Speaker 4: those games hadn't been rained off. I think it's it's 124 00:06:15,933 --> 00:06:18,853 Speaker 4: a numbers game jack at that level and New Zealand 125 00:06:18,893 --> 00:06:22,733 Speaker 4: just doesn't have the playing base of these other nations. Yes, 126 00:06:22,813 --> 00:06:24,933 Speaker 4: I'd continue to do well in the odd T twenty 127 00:06:25,213 --> 00:06:28,653 Speaker 4: match and the odd T twenty tournament, but one day 128 00:06:28,813 --> 00:06:33,213 Speaker 4: is more a test of cricketing depth and talent, and 129 00:06:33,253 --> 00:06:37,173 Speaker 4: not only fifty overs, but then you move towards test matches, 130 00:06:37,213 --> 00:06:38,253 Speaker 4: which yeah, this. 131 00:06:38,133 --> 00:06:40,053 Speaker 3: Team barely ever plays these days. 132 00:06:40,453 --> 00:06:46,693 Speaker 4: If ever, it's a bigger test of depth and talent, 133 00:06:46,813 --> 00:06:50,053 Speaker 4: and I think this White Fun's team has. 134 00:06:49,933 --> 00:06:52,133 Speaker 2: Been found out. Will it improve in the future, I 135 00:06:52,173 --> 00:06:54,373 Speaker 2: hope so, yeah, I do too. I enjoy the game 136 00:06:54,413 --> 00:06:56,453 Speaker 2: this afternoon. It's gonna be a busy afternoon because you've 137 00:06:56,453 --> 00:07:00,293 Speaker 2: got AFC, awkand FC playing at five pm I think so, 138 00:07:00,693 --> 00:07:02,653 Speaker 2: the kick off in the NBC Finals just after four, 139 00:07:03,653 --> 00:07:05,813 Speaker 2: and then yeah AFC at five o'clock.
