Yes, I felt like had been 0:00:21.880 --> 0:00:24.560 on the road for quite some time. But after a 0:00:24.600 --> 0:00:28.880 wee little escapades around Corimandel and they have plenty, I 0:00:28.960 --> 0:00:33.440 just went straight to the Rotorua region.

And yeah, that's so, he says. 0:00:57.360 --> 0:00:59.600 I think it was something like he hasn't got enough underwear. Yeah, 0:00:59.640 --> 0:01:01.279 something like what happens all the socks I bought him? 0:01:01.360 --> 0:01:03.279 Last week. Yeah, that was Yeah, that really set her off. 0:01:03.280 --> 0:01:05.200 They were quite expensive and you haven't chipped in for 0:01:05.240 --> 0:01:07.080 any of it. 0:01:07.520 --> 0:01:08.920 By the way, school fee is a jet. 0:01:09.440 --> 0:01:11.080 So all very well and good that you're going to 0:01:11.120 --> 0:01:13.960 go swaning off down to write a idio wherever you were, 0:01:14.760 --> 0:01:16.600 But there's really like parenting to be done here and 0:01:16.600 --> 0:01:17.319 you're not doing it. 0:01:17.800 --> 0:01:18.320 Where did you go? 0:01:18.440 --> 0:01:20.720 Yeah, you've been through a witty Yeah. We had a 0:01:20.720 --> 0:01:23.920 family reunion of sorts. It was my grandmother's would have 0:01:23.959 --> 0:01:27.320 been my grandmother's hundredth birthday. Oh ah, so we got 0:01:27.319 --> 0:01:29.040 together family of that, that side of the family and 0:01:29.040 --> 0:01:29.880 there it all got together. 0:01:30.840 --> 0:01:31.720 It was good. It was good. 0:01:31.760 --> 0:01:33.960 The weather was good on Sunday, you know, just knocked around, 0:01:34.080 --> 0:01:39.600 drank heaps of beers. Great and yeah, a few inappropriate 0:01:39.720 --> 0:01:44.039 uncles turned up, dropped a few bombshells on a few conversations. 0:01:44.160 --> 0:01:46.080 M It wouldn't change much. 0:01:46.200 --> 0:01:49.560 Wouldn't be a family reunion without a dodgy uncle. 0:01:49.680 --> 0:01:50.040 Yeah. 0:01:50.360 --> 0:01:53.240 The dodgy uncle, though, is the son of what we 0:01:53.320 --> 0:01:56.160 used to call Uncle Jerry the lip Kisser, who's no 0:01:56.240 --> 0:01:58.360 longer with us. And I heard, yeah, Uncle Jerry the 0:01:58.360 --> 0:02:01.919 lip Kisser used to come in for the lip kiss 0:02:01.920 --> 0:02:04.320 with all the girls, you know at Christmas time when 0:02:04.360 --> 0:02:07.840 you come in and and you only do it once apparently, 0:02:07.920 --> 0:02:10.040 and then after that you go in and you dummy 0:02:10.120 --> 0:02:11.720 to the right and make him forced to kiss you 0:02:11.760 --> 0:02:14.079 on the cheek. But we never used to tell any 0:02:14.120 --> 0:02:17.920 newcomers and just watch them get lip kissed by Uncle Jerry. Anyway, 0:02:17.919 --> 0:02:19.440 this is the son of Uncle Jerry's. He dropped a 0:02:19.520 --> 0:02:23.560 couple of massive hangers around tender. Let's just say his 0:02:23.639 --> 0:02:32.120 nickname at the end of the day was twenty comes. 0:02:30.560 --> 0:02:32.200 Jesus Christ. No, I like that. 0:02:32.320 --> 0:02:35.919 I like not telling people about about things like that. 0:02:35.960 --> 0:02:39.320 Like I. I think one of my cousins was bringing 0:02:39.360 --> 0:02:41.880 a parker partner around to our Cordals place for the 0:02:41.880 --> 0:02:44.120 first time, and they said, look, whatever you do, you've 0:02:44.120 --> 0:02:45.840 got to make sure you hung him as soon as. 0:02:45.680 --> 0:02:46.240 You get in there. 0:02:46.880 --> 0:02:49.040 And so this stir comes up the driveway, just go 0:02:49.120 --> 0:02:55.680 straight in for the who that kind of merry. The 0:02:55.720 --> 0:02:57.960 poor dog got stitched up. My friends did to one 0:02:58.000 --> 0:03:00.320 of their mates when I went over to stay with 0:03:00.360 --> 0:03:02.800 them and Dubui that's an Irish friend. They were like, 0:03:03.040 --> 0:03:06.920 Mania's coming to stay with us. It's a it's massively insensitive. 0:03:06.919 --> 0:03:09.480 If you don't hang him when you meet him, good 0:03:09.520 --> 0:03:12.760 and actually he's gonna love it if you hang him first. 0:03:13.480 --> 0:03:15.359 But the problem is they told me about it, and 0:03:15.400 --> 0:03:16.400 so I was like, I'm not doing that. 0:03:16.520 --> 0:03:17.880 I don't want to. I don't want to be part 0:03:17.880 --> 0:03:18.080 of this. 0:03:18.840 --> 0:03:21.280 And this guy walked into the room and just froze 0:03:21.320 --> 0:03:23.040 with horror when he saw me, because he was like, 0:03:23.200 --> 0:03:25.400 isn't two minds about committing to the Hongy or not? 0:03:26.200 --> 0:03:28.680 He was like, which one of these two is going 0:03:28.720 --> 0:03:31.799 to offend him doing it or not doing it? So, yeah, 0:03:31.840 --> 0:03:34.880 I love stitching people up at the Christmas Christmas would 0:03:34.880 --> 0:03:35.680 be a good time to do it. 0:03:35.840 --> 0:03:38.400 Yeah, yeah, I like, I don't think I'll be seeing 0:03:38.400 --> 0:03:41.000 any of the protagonists was quite some time. It's quite good. 0:03:41.960 --> 0:03:43.760 Let's talk about the black Caps. Yeah, oh my god, 0:03:43.760 --> 0:03:45.800 I got my shirt on. Yeah, who would have Who 0:03:45.840 --> 0:03:49.800 would have bunked this man? Like I too now in 0:03:49.880 --> 0:03:54.800 Sri Lanka like X thrashed in Srilanka thresh Yeah. Yeah, 0:03:55.120 --> 0:03:59.200 and going into a three match test series in India, 0:03:59.360 --> 0:04:03.480 we've only ever two games before that ever, and now 0:04:03.480 --> 0:04:07.680 they've they're basically so one up the series two nil one, 0:04:07.840 --> 0:04:10.360 every single session I think, bar one. 0:04:10.320 --> 0:04:11.760 Of these two Test matches. 0:04:11.840 --> 0:04:18.240 Yeah, I think India have massively underestimated the Black Caps 0:04:18.240 --> 0:04:20.800 and came in with an attitude of near Yeah. 0:04:20.680 --> 0:04:21.040 I reckon. 0:04:21.080 --> 0:04:23.360 Even after they lost their first Test, Yes, they were like, man, 0:04:23.400 --> 0:04:25.120 whatever will fucking thrash them in the next two. 0:04:25.440 --> 0:04:28.359 Even coming out to bat in the second innings of 0:04:28.440 --> 0:04:31.440 the second Test, they were hitting sixers in the first over. 0:04:31.680 --> 0:04:33.080 Yeah, they thought they were going to win. 0:04:33.600 --> 0:04:37.520 I just I was pretty astounded by it, and like 0:04:37.760 --> 0:04:40.360 the level of arrogance is next level and do you 0:04:40.360 --> 0:04:42.000 know what? And I love just winding up the Indian 0:04:42.000 --> 0:04:45.760 cricket fans because they're getting absolutely teed off on the 0:04:45.839 --> 0:04:48.400 online because they can't come in with anything anymore. No, 0:04:48.839 --> 0:04:51.320 they come in with something else. They come around as 0:04:51.320 --> 0:04:53.080 something that will current World Test champions whatever. 0:04:54.320 --> 0:04:56.239 But when we won it, they said it doesn't count 0:04:56.440 --> 0:04:57.520 because they went in the final. 0:04:57.640 --> 0:04:59.240 I know they were in the finals right now because 0:04:59.279 --> 0:05:02.160 it didn't count for some reason because Australia got dock 0:05:02.279 --> 0:05:04.640 points for a slow over rate anyway. 0:05:04.800 --> 0:05:07.480 So at an absolute purple. 0:05:07.160 --> 0:05:09.479 Patch for New Zealand cricket, it's ridiculous. 0:05:09.520 --> 0:05:11.480 I mean New Zealand sport in general. And we'll get 0:05:11.480 --> 0:05:12.440 to the rest of that stuff as well. 0:05:12.480 --> 0:05:16.679 But this, that first one, you could have potentially said 0:05:16.760 --> 0:05:20.320 a fluke maybe because of that first inning's forty six. 0:05:20.520 --> 0:05:22.840 Yeah, such an anomaly, and the patch was juicy is 0:05:22.880 --> 0:05:24.120 under cover for a few days. 0:05:24.160 --> 0:05:26.360 It was weird. Yeah. The second one, what are they 0:05:26.360 --> 0:05:27.599 going to say about that turning? 0:05:27.640 --> 0:05:31.320 After forty five minutes it was turning, Yes, not just turning, 0:05:31.320 --> 0:05:34.120 it was turning sharply after forty five minutes of day one. 0:05:34.279 --> 0:05:36.719 Yeah, and they had five spinners. 0:05:37.120 --> 0:05:39.040 I just loved the fat and I mentioned it last 0:05:39.040 --> 0:05:41.760 week and we could go back out of the tapes. 0:05:41.880 --> 0:05:44.440 My hope to all hopes, was that they'd produce a 0:05:44.560 --> 0:05:47.080 dust bowl and it would backfire and it fucking died. 0:05:47.120 --> 0:05:49.200 That's exactly what happened. That suck on that. 0:05:49.560 --> 0:05:51.360 Oh, while we're going back in time, I would like 0:05:51.440 --> 0:05:54.360 to assure an apology. For the longest time now, I've 0:05:54.400 --> 0:05:57.039 been saying, Mitch Sentner, great bowlert I love, one of 0:05:57.040 --> 0:06:01.000 our best. Is not a spin bowllet because it doesn't 0:06:01.000 --> 0:06:04.040 turn turns out he just needed the right pitch. Yeah, 0:06:04.080 --> 0:06:06.919 and I think I mentioned that he would be also. 0:06:07.000 --> 0:06:08.520 I think we should go back to the tapes as well, 0:06:08.560 --> 0:06:11.800 that he's the tallest of all the spinners. He potentially 0:06:11.880 --> 0:06:13.560 varies his pace the most out of all of them, 0:06:13.600 --> 0:06:17.240 oh wildly. And that's what matters over there. That's what 0:06:17.320 --> 0:06:22.000 Ravi Ashman does. So and there's that massive hot take 0:06:22.040 --> 0:06:24.600 for me in Smith. He wrote online saying he's not 0:06:24.600 --> 0:06:26.640 a Test cricket, he offers nothing, he's not a threat 0:06:26.640 --> 0:06:28.679 and Test cricket and then he gets sends around against 0:06:28.680 --> 0:06:29.400 fourteen wickets. 0:06:29.520 --> 0:06:32.480 Yeah, it was ridiculous. I've got some stats if you 0:06:32.640 --> 0:06:35.840 like to board to tears. Eighteen That is a number 0:06:35.839 --> 0:06:39.279 of consecutive Test series wins for India at home before 0:06:39.320 --> 0:06:41.840 the suck It. No other team had won more than 0:06:41.880 --> 0:06:46.360 ten consecutive successive Test series at home. India's previous series 0:06:46.400 --> 0:06:50.120 defense came against a defeat rather came against England in 0:06:50.120 --> 0:06:51.120 twenty twelve. 0:06:51.880 --> 0:06:52.120 One. 0:06:52.160 --> 0:06:54.599 That is New Zealand's Test series win is their first 0:06:55.320 --> 0:06:58.360 on Indian soil. Before the series, New Zealand had only 0:06:58.400 --> 0:07:02.120 won two Tests all up in India and Nagpur in 0:07:02.200 --> 0:07:05.000 nineteen sixty nine and wang Edy in nineteen eighty eight. 0:07:05.920 --> 0:07:07.960 Three is the number of New Zealand players with six 0:07:08.040 --> 0:07:10.360 or more wicket hauls in each innings of a Test match, 0:07:10.640 --> 0:07:14.080 which obviously Satana did, Richard Hadley and Dan Vittori being 0:07:14.160 --> 0:07:17.080 the other two. Thirteen for one hundred and fifty seven 0:07:17.320 --> 0:07:20.440 is what Santana finished with for the match and Puna 0:07:20.520 --> 0:07:23.160 the third best figures for the black Caps and Tests. 0:07:23.240 --> 0:07:25.960 Hadley took fifteen for one to twenty three against Australia 0:07:26.000 --> 0:07:29.440 in nineteen eighty five, and just three years ago, ajs 0:07:29.480 --> 0:07:32.600 Battl claimed fourteen for two hundred and twenty five at 0:07:32.600 --> 0:07:36.800 wank Edi as the third best match figures by any 0:07:36.840 --> 0:07:40.240 bowler in a men's Test against India, behind AgZ and 0:07:40.240 --> 0:07:42.240 beefy Bertham's thirteen for one hundred and three. 0:07:42.720 --> 0:07:45.280 So this's and you know what they're going to get. 0:07:45.280 --> 0:07:49.160 They get to go into the third Test with no pressure. Yeah, 0:07:49.200 --> 0:07:51.960 and this is I think. I know, look now I'm 0:07:52.000 --> 0:07:54.800 just jumping on the black Caps winning bandwagon, but I 0:07:54.800 --> 0:07:57.840 think without any pressure on their shoulders, they can go 0:07:57.960 --> 0:07:58.920 into this free wheeling. 0:07:59.520 --> 0:08:02.400 India have got pride to play for. 0:08:02.560 --> 0:08:05.560 They have to win this Test or they're going to 0:08:05.600 --> 0:08:08.400 have to seriously start getting a personal trainer and work 0:08:08.440 --> 0:08:09.400 in these fatties. 0:08:09.080 --> 0:08:12.080 A little bit that is potentially I think if you. 0:08:12.640 --> 0:08:14.480 I don't know if they weigh cricket players, but they 0:08:14.480 --> 0:08:16.440 would be the highest BMI collective BMI. 0:08:16.520 --> 0:08:19.120 I wouldn't want to play rugby against them, that's for sure. Maybe. 0:08:19.560 --> 0:08:21.200 Now the only other team that would be threatening would 0:08:21.200 --> 0:08:23.720 be Australia because that has got tall timber. Yeah, and 0:08:23.720 --> 0:08:26.600 they're quite muscular. Wouldn't stowiness coming off a short ball 0:08:26.600 --> 0:08:26.840 at you? 0:08:27.000 --> 0:08:30.360 Yeah, Wendy's if they got old of it? Yeah, that's true. 0:08:30.440 --> 0:08:34.200 If you wouldn't want Rakeem Cornwall coming out Jesus. 0:08:33.920 --> 0:08:36.160 No, although I reckon here's probably the only cricketer I 0:08:36.160 --> 0:08:36.680 could step. 0:08:40.600 --> 0:08:40.680 No. 0:08:40.800 --> 0:08:43.199 Yeah, but we were talking about this on the Jerry 0:08:43.200 --> 0:08:45.160 and Friends show this morning, which was jam packed with 0:08:45.200 --> 0:08:45.880 friends this morning. 0:08:45.960 --> 0:08:46.920 He got he got more friends. 0:08:47.000 --> 0:08:50.000 Yeah, there's me in there. Taylor Curtis from Krug as well. 0:08:50.120 --> 0:08:52.720 She was in there as well, and Mash and Ruder, 0:08:52.760 --> 0:08:53.880 so the full compliment. 0:08:54.000 --> 0:08:56.160 Jeez. But there's some old friends in there though. Yeah, 0:08:56.160 --> 0:08:58.400 there's no new friends, isn't it, well Taylor Taylor, Yeah, 0:08:58.440 --> 0:09:01.080 Taylor's new friends. I forgot. I was going to say. 0:09:01.080 --> 0:09:04.000 We were talking about oh do you what way do 0:09:04.040 --> 0:09:05.720 you think the black Caps go into this next game, 0:09:05.760 --> 0:09:07.720 do they go, fuck it, We've already won the series, 0:09:08.040 --> 0:09:12.600 chuck it in neutral, or or do they go, let's 0:09:12.600 --> 0:09:15.120 put the foots of the throat three nil whitewash. 0:09:15.200 --> 0:09:18.240 I think it's somewhere in between, somewhere in between where 0:09:18.280 --> 0:09:23.280 that there there's absolutely no pressure on them to win 0:09:23.440 --> 0:09:25.760 or lose what They can go into this game with 0:09:25.880 --> 0:09:29.600 so much confidence and freedom that the Indians do not have. 0:09:29.800 --> 0:09:31.480 They are up against it. 0:09:31.520 --> 0:09:34.960 Their media is laying into them, fans are probably going 0:09:35.040 --> 0:09:36.000 to start to lay into them. 0:09:36.160 --> 0:09:38.160 Yeah, so they'll be burning effages. 0:09:38.679 --> 0:09:40.520 Yeah, they will be. And that's as ideal form using. 0:09:40.559 --> 0:09:42.840 They can't come in free wheeling. It's a little bit 0:09:42.840 --> 0:09:44.400 of both. I mean they I don't think I'll take 0:09:44.400 --> 0:09:46.880 the foot off the throat, No, but they can quite 0:09:46.920 --> 0:09:48.240 happily take. 0:09:48.040 --> 0:09:50.240 A few risks yep, because it doesn't matter. 0:09:50.640 --> 0:09:50.800 No. 0:09:50.880 --> 0:09:53.160 And I was saying, I don't know how many dudes 0:09:53.200 --> 0:09:56.160 we took over there. Would we have taken thirteen? Fourteen? 0:09:56.200 --> 0:09:56.400 Yeah? 0:09:56.720 --> 0:09:59.640 Yeah, I think fifteen in the squad fifteen play those 0:09:59.640 --> 0:10:00.839 four it didn't get a run. 0:10:01.600 --> 0:10:04.880 I reckon the biggest Liam Lawson middle finger to India 0:10:05.280 --> 0:10:07.719 and just be like, you know what, we don't think 0:10:07.760 --> 0:10:08.440 you guys have got it. 0:10:08.559 --> 0:10:10.559 I was talking about it, but he was touchshed touch 0:10:10.640 --> 0:10:12.800 last night and we're talking about it, and we'll say 0:10:12.800 --> 0:10:14.960 what's the most insulting thing we can do, and that 0:10:15.000 --> 0:10:18.720 would be bowl everyone and reverse the order. So everyone 0:10:18.760 --> 0:10:21.200 gets a bowl, everyone gets to wicket keep. Maybe we 0:10:21.280 --> 0:10:23.640 do the where you circle around and you change the gears, 0:10:23.679 --> 0:10:25.560 leave the gloves there, you leave the gloves there, everyone 0:10:25.559 --> 0:10:28.560 moves around a position in bowls betting, reverse the order, 0:10:28.760 --> 0:10:29.920 just total chaos. 0:10:30.080 --> 0:10:34.840 Opening the betting is Punisher O'Rourke and Tim and Tim 0:10:34.840 --> 0:10:40.640 Southy Ages probably go for fifty and then opening the bowling. 0:10:40.720 --> 0:10:44.640 Please welcome Tom Latham and he'll be worket keeping to himself. 0:10:44.760 --> 0:10:47.599 Yeah, thanks very much. So it'll be very interesting to 0:10:47.600 --> 0:10:48.439 see how that pans out. 0:10:48.480 --> 0:10:50.960 Kicks off Friday at Whan Kitty And obviously we've got 0:10:50.960 --> 0:10:53.480 a pretty good record at When Kitty our first ever test. 0:10:53.520 --> 0:10:57.360 When was there yep a tent for was it when Kitty? 0:10:57.559 --> 0:11:00.000 When Kety is the spiritual home of New Zealand's overseas 0:11:00.360 --> 0:11:01.560 cricket exploits. 0:11:01.640 --> 0:11:01.840 Yeah. 0:11:01.840 --> 0:11:03.600 Well, and even though we got thrash by an innings, 0:11:03.640 --> 0:11:06.160 I think in that test and with AG's got ten, 0:11:07.880 --> 0:11:10.560 it's going to be great to watch because it just 0:11:10.640 --> 0:11:13.760 shows they I mean, when it comes down to it, 0:11:13.800 --> 0:11:16.040 they'll just they will say, now this will be their excuse. 0:11:16.080 --> 0:11:18.800 The Indian cricket team. Their focus is on the Australian 0:11:18.800 --> 0:11:21.880 series coming up. That is the true test. That'll be it. 0:11:21.920 --> 0:11:25.200 That'll be it. Because I know you're right. 0:11:25.240 --> 0:11:28.280 They will say, Yeah, we're worried about the World Test 0:11:28.320 --> 0:11:30.800 Championship because I think we basically need to go undefeated 0:11:30.800 --> 0:11:31.920 for the remainder of this period. 0:11:32.040 --> 0:11:32.480 Yes, we do. 0:11:32.640 --> 0:11:34.880 To make the final, I think we're out after losing 0:11:34.920 --> 0:11:36.640 those two in Sri Lanka. To be honest, I think 0:11:36.640 --> 0:11:38.480 we needed to win a majority of these tests. 0:11:39.000 --> 0:11:41.400 So the advantage for us though, and this is where 0:11:41.400 --> 0:11:43.520 it's backfired on India to a degree or it could 0:11:44.080 --> 0:11:46.160 is it because it's one percentage and they play way 0:11:46.200 --> 0:11:49.360 more than anyone else. So if we go on a 0:11:49.400 --> 0:11:51.600 little bit of a winning streak, our percentage shoots up 0:11:51.640 --> 0:11:52.640 way more than theirs does. 0:11:52.840 --> 0:11:53.920 Yeah, if we beat. 0:11:54.360 --> 0:11:56.920 England three to zero in November December, I think we're there. 0:11:56.960 --> 0:11:59.360 I think maybe in the conversation, yeah, I mean, if 0:11:59.360 --> 0:12:01.679 you probably want to hit better analysis. I tune into 0:12:01.679 --> 0:12:05.079 the BYC podcast with Cleaver and Ford. Not so much 0:12:05.080 --> 0:12:08.120 for but Clever and Ford will definitely give you probably 0:12:08.160 --> 0:12:09.800 a better insight in what needs to be done. 0:12:09.960 --> 0:12:10.600 Yeah. 0:12:10.679 --> 0:12:13.040 One thing we can to lean into her offer a 0:12:13.040 --> 0:12:14.640 bit of insight into is how hard. 0:12:14.440 --> 0:12:18.480 Do you think they hit their perse after that? One hard? Hard? 0:12:18.520 --> 0:12:20.320 And you could and you know what, God bless them. 0:12:20.760 --> 0:12:22.920 Obviously his social media band was put in place. 0:12:23.080 --> 0:12:26.040 I haven't seen anything. Yeah, correct, And they wouldn't have 0:12:26.080 --> 0:12:27.440 been able to leave the hotel. 0:12:27.160 --> 0:12:30.840 Right, not really. I don't think there's no point in 0:12:30.920 --> 0:12:32.920 doing that. There's no like clubs go to. 0:12:33.040 --> 0:12:36.160 Usually the hotels have quite good bars because you get swamped. 0:12:36.240 --> 0:12:38.840 Yeah, they usually they party in the not party, but 0:12:39.400 --> 0:12:41.680 celebrate in the changing the room for quite a long 0:12:41.679 --> 0:12:43.720 period of time and then move back to the hotel. 0:12:44.280 --> 0:12:50.199 Unlike the Wunkton lines, social media let up with celebrations 0:12:50.200 --> 0:12:51.680 which I thought were pretty epic. 0:12:51.800 --> 0:12:53.400 Let's take a quick break and we'll come back and 0:12:53.440 --> 0:12:56.840 talk about that NBC final over the weekend was the 0:12:56.880 --> 0:12:57.400 Curse Broken. 0:12:57.440 --> 0:12:58.160 We'll be right back. 0:13:01.200 --> 0:13:04.480 Well, it took overtime to decide the National Provincial Championship 0:13:04.520 --> 0:13:08.800 winner and Subsequently, the Agenda podcast curse has been ended. 0:13:08.880 --> 0:13:10.760 It's been lifted. Brads. 0:13:11.040 --> 0:13:14.280 We gave him the motivation that he needed to win 0:13:14.800 --> 0:13:18.080 the NPC and you could say it was evident every 0:13:18.160 --> 0:13:21.240 run he took he was massive. He was giving the 0:13:21.280 --> 0:13:23.840 boys another dressing down in the second half. The game 0:13:23.880 --> 0:13:27.360 went to overtime, which there were bodies all over the 0:13:27.400 --> 0:13:31.000 floor and overtime the just dudes just guessed weren't expecting it. 0:13:32.600 --> 0:13:36.800 Officially the podcast now can without guilt request players to 0:13:36.840 --> 0:13:40.080 come on the podcast who have sporting fixtures that weekend. 0:13:40.120 --> 0:13:40.760 Yeah, that's good. 0:13:40.800 --> 0:13:45.320 And also can I just say congratulations to our audience 0:13:45.440 --> 0:13:47.480 or whoever it was that gave us the hot oil 0:13:47.559 --> 0:13:50.560 on Hacker Elliott. We may have been the first media 0:13:50.600 --> 0:13:55.280 outlet to break the news or the rumor Hacker Elliott 0:13:55.480 --> 0:13:57.319 had been moved into the line squad. 0:13:57.080 --> 0:13:58.959 And he ended up playing a good chunk of the game. 0:13:59.080 --> 0:14:01.280 Yeah, what a while week it was for Hicky Elliott. 0:14:01.320 --> 0:14:04.400 So to rewind the clock, he wasn't even in the 0:14:04.440 --> 0:14:07.840 McKenzie team to start the club rugby season. Yeah, he 0:14:08.000 --> 0:14:10.120 just moved to the region. Then he plays a few 0:14:10.120 --> 0:14:13.800 games in the South Canterbury competition for McKenzie. He gets 0:14:13.840 --> 0:14:15.520 called into the Heartland squad at the end of that 0:14:15.559 --> 0:14:18.000 and so now he's playing for South Canterbury. All of 0:14:18.040 --> 0:14:21.400 a sudden he gets thrust into the first loss in 0:14:21.520 --> 0:14:24.800 five years. Then his season's over. Two weeks later he 0:14:24.840 --> 0:14:27.480 gets the phone call from Wellington, so can you come 0:14:27.480 --> 0:14:30.120 and play in the NPC final. He'd never won the 0:14:30.200 --> 0:14:34.880 NPC before, pick Elliott. His was one of those careers 0:14:34.880 --> 0:14:37.800 I think were basically Chiefs All Blacks or Chiefs Multi 0:14:37.800 --> 0:14:39.360 all Blacks, so he never got to play in it. 0:14:39.600 --> 0:14:42.160 And then all of a sudden, within a week he 0:14:42.240 --> 0:14:44.720 goes from but you know, back to work in the 0:14:44.720 --> 0:14:46.920 off season of the Heartland to all of a sudden, 0:14:47.000 --> 0:14:49.600 standing on the dais at the you know what is 0:14:49.640 --> 0:14:54.680 it called Wellington Regional Park, no Skystadium and accepting the 0:14:54.800 --> 0:14:56.479 National Provincial Championship. 0:14:56.840 --> 0:14:59.800 Yeah, well, you know, I think I'm surely he'd big 0:15:00.040 --> 0:15:02.080 few Dank Coles because that's the reason he was there, 0:15:02.080 --> 0:15:05.040 because Dank Coles gave it the big nah nah. 0:15:05.760 --> 0:15:07.600 I did try and get heck Elliott on the show, 0:15:07.600 --> 0:15:09.640 and I will persist with trying to get him on 0:15:09.960 --> 0:15:13.520 throughout the week, but obviously the media manager was like, 0:15:13.560 --> 0:15:16.240 I don't even have his number. I don't know how 0:15:16.320 --> 0:15:18.760 to get hold of him. He showed up on Tuesday. 0:15:20.040 --> 0:15:22.080 But Brad Shields, when we had him on the podcast 0:15:22.200 --> 0:15:24.520 last Wednesday, we said, have you seen him around? 0:15:24.920 --> 0:15:25.160 Well? 0:15:25.320 --> 0:15:28.320 Heck Elliott was interviewed after the game and he said 0:15:28.360 --> 0:15:32.120 that he was there on I think Tuesday. So Brad 0:15:32.160 --> 0:15:33.880 Shields had seen him at that point. 0:15:33.960 --> 0:15:36.880 Yeah, right, well he didn't, he said, I can't confirm 0:15:36.880 --> 0:15:37.800 all tonight, that's right. 0:15:38.040 --> 0:15:38.600 So but. 0:15:40.080 --> 0:15:43.240 Great, what a what a final? I had money on plenty. 0:15:43.320 --> 0:15:47.000 Unfortunately I went with my heart not my head on 0:15:47.040 --> 0:15:51.600 that front. But cracking game gets so tight, so tight, 0:15:51.640 --> 0:15:52.920 two great teams. 0:15:54.120 --> 0:15:56.840 Over time. There was a missed penalty that could have 0:15:56.840 --> 0:15:57.200 won it. 0:15:57.320 --> 0:16:02.920 Yeah, there was all sorts and Dupless his celebrations with 0:16:03.080 --> 0:16:06.240 the NPC trophy as he got it from the stage 0:16:06.320 --> 0:16:07.760 and he ran it up to the group and he 0:16:07.840 --> 0:16:11.520 thrust it so hard the lid popped off and that 0:16:11.800 --> 0:16:14.400 didn't look overly light, and I thought it was going 0:16:14.440 --> 0:16:17.440 to take someone out. It flew off like a silver frisbee. Yah, 0:16:17.760 --> 0:16:19.920 they sliced someone open. That would have been even better. 0:16:20.000 --> 0:16:23.320 But it was absolutely fucking persing with rain. Yeah, by 0:16:23.400 --> 0:16:26.600 the end, but the celebrations were next level. 0:16:26.600 --> 0:16:28.920 It's great to see, actually, I think it was. 0:16:29.640 --> 0:16:32.200 It was almost more euphoric than anything I've seen in 0:16:32.240 --> 0:16:32.920 super Rugby. 0:16:33.080 --> 0:16:34.320 Oh, definitely those guys. 0:16:34.360 --> 0:16:36.720 They went hard back to the changing rooms. There was 0:16:36.760 --> 0:16:38.600 some more great videos of them just dancing in the 0:16:38.680 --> 0:16:41.440 changing rooms. Hopefully the Bay Plenty boys went and joined 0:16:41.440 --> 0:16:42.840 them eventually, but I'm sure they did. 0:16:42.880 --> 0:16:43.600 I'd say they would have. 0:16:43.920 --> 0:16:47.760 They were talking about they didn't want to organize like 0:16:47.800 --> 0:16:49.640 their own pass up for afterwards. They were a little 0:16:49.640 --> 0:16:51.440 bit worried about getting a hit of themselves and blah 0:16:51.480 --> 0:16:53.640 blah blah. But then I've bred sheelds with sounds like 0:16:54.240 --> 0:16:56.320 if you win the bloody MPC, you go down the 0:16:56.360 --> 0:16:58.400 waterfront there in Wellington, who's going to not let you 0:16:58.440 --> 0:17:00.960 in career? You know they'll be clamoring over themselves to 0:17:01.640 --> 0:17:04.159 get you in there. So I imagine it was a great, 0:17:05.200 --> 0:17:08.000 a great celebration, and I know that it was because 0:17:08.040 --> 0:17:09.680 we haven't been able to get anyone on this morning. 0:17:11.200 --> 0:17:14.200 Had up the media manager but no one was available, 0:17:14.760 --> 0:17:18.720 but we I will try and get on later on. Yeah, 0:17:18.800 --> 0:17:20.639 that lid come flying off. He picked it up and 0:17:20.680 --> 0:17:23.400 all the photos are of him holding the lid, so 0:17:23.480 --> 0:17:26.240 he won the plate. Yeah, someone else holding the trophy. 0:17:26.800 --> 0:17:29.399 The All Blecks played over the weekend as well. Actually 0:17:29.520 --> 0:17:31.199 MPC was kind of a curtain raiser to this. 0:17:31.640 --> 0:17:32.720 Yeah. 0:17:32.920 --> 0:17:35.000 Yeah, it was a bit of a scary start, wasn't 0:17:35.040 --> 0:17:38.240 it that they the Japanese scored first, and they scored 0:17:38.240 --> 0:17:40.240 another quick try and then it was tip for tet. 0:17:40.400 --> 0:17:41.720
