This is 0:00:04.880 --> 0:00:07.840 the Agenda Podcast, four Thursday, the eighteenth of July. 0:00:09.119 --> 0:00:13.360 The Agenda Podcast, the home of Sporting Nonsense and clap trap, 0:00:13.800 --> 0:00:15.760 brought to you my next sport vulture. 0:00:17.000 --> 0:00:20.760 Welcome in from Witness Protection and surrounded by horse racing 0:00:21.200 --> 0:00:24.480 paraphernalia or memorabilia rather j Lane. 0:00:24.600 --> 0:00:27.720 Good morning morning. Yeah, I'm surrounded by Azuwary this time 0:00:27.800 --> 0:00:31.320 Rodney three time winner. As Awary five time winner won 0:00:31.360 --> 0:00:32.800 the Sydney Cup apparently. 0:00:33.640 --> 0:00:36.080 Yeah, that sounds very official. The Sydney Cup. 0:00:36.520 --> 0:00:39.360 Yeah, in nineteen eighty four, and actually I've got like 0:00:39.920 --> 0:00:44.240 they brought out a commemorative bottle of port see here 0:00:45.200 --> 0:00:48.200 to celebrate as Awary's victory. Actually it was nineteen eighty 0:00:48.200 --> 0:00:49.959 two one Sydney. 0:00:49.560 --> 0:00:52.920 Cup, and that looks like it's been enjoyed. 0:00:53.600 --> 0:00:56.680 Yes, it's empty, probably. 0:00:56.400 --> 0:00:59.200 For the best state of origin last night. So I 0:00:59.240 --> 0:01:01.920 think a few people are around the country and certainly 0:01:01.960 --> 0:01:05.000 around New South Wales will be moving pretty slowly this morning. 0:01:05.400 --> 0:01:08.119 Everyone that's coming to the office just off the back 0:01:08.160 --> 0:01:10.520 of maybe one too many beers last night, and just 0:01:11.160 --> 0:01:14.000 you know, productivity is probably not quite we you'd expected 0:01:14.080 --> 0:01:14.640 on a Thursday. 0:01:14.680 --> 0:01:16.600 It's a real week ruin over here in New Zealand, 0:01:16.680 --> 0:01:17.400 state of origin. 0:01:17.760 --> 0:01:20.280 Yeah it is, because yeah, it wrapped up just before midnight. 0:01:20.360 --> 0:01:23.880 I stayed up and watched it. Did a sterling job 0:01:24.000 --> 0:01:27.679 was Die Henwood and Ben Hurley on the call. But 0:01:27.920 --> 0:01:30.440 it was a pretty torrid affair in that first half. 0:01:30.480 --> 0:01:33.560 To all was at the break. 0:01:33.600 --> 0:01:36.280 It was so if you didn't watch the game last night, 0:01:36.360 --> 0:01:39.759 the clock in the corner, oh fucked out straight off 0:01:39.760 --> 0:01:41.880 the bat and it just said one h So with 0:01:41.959 --> 0:01:43.280 the old commentary, it was like, what is this. 0:01:43.520 --> 0:01:45.680 Eventually, when they fixed it, it's. 0:01:45.680 --> 0:01:48.240 At the proper time flashed up and eight minutes had 0:01:48.280 --> 0:01:51.280 elapsed of game time and I felt like I'd been 0:01:51.320 --> 0:01:52.600 watching that game for an hour. 0:01:53.080 --> 0:01:54.280 I was like, this has been hecked that. 0:01:54.320 --> 0:01:56.120 You cannot tell me this has only been eight minutes 0:01:56.160 --> 0:01:59.080 of action because it was frantic from the moment. 0:01:59.400 --> 0:02:00.600 The first was when wasn't it? 0:02:01.000 --> 0:02:03.400 Yeah it was, but they were so there was the 0:02:03.440 --> 0:02:05.600 clock started, and then they went for a countdown clock, 0:02:05.720 --> 0:02:07.920 so then it was at thirty six minutes and then 0:02:07.920 --> 0:02:10.120 it went disappeared and one h came up again and 0:02:10.120 --> 0:02:13.120 then it came to eight minutes. It was hopelessly confusing 0:02:13.160 --> 0:02:16.000 and the like, you're right, they consumed the commentary for 0:02:16.040 --> 0:02:18.880 the first ten minutes what was going on there? But 0:02:18.960 --> 0:02:22.200 it was like you look at that school line, you go, 0:02:22.320 --> 0:02:26.160 oh to all, But it was end. 0:02:26.120 --> 0:02:28.760 To end, No, it was. It was hectic and it 0:02:28.800 --> 0:02:31.200 wasn't a boring to all. You know that. 0:02:31.480 --> 0:02:33.520 I think if you woke up the next morning and 0:02:33.520 --> 0:02:35.320 they had checked the scores, you'd be like, oh, thank god, 0:02:35.320 --> 0:02:38.160 I didn't stop to watch it. But it was actually madness, 0:02:38.160 --> 0:02:41.440 like from the start, and it was only a matter 0:02:41.480 --> 0:02:43.560 of time before one team just got so buggered that 0:02:43.600 --> 0:02:46.080 they let go of the rope, and unfortunately that was 0:02:46.639 --> 0:02:50.000 Queensland and they just they just got towed up really 0:02:50.000 --> 0:02:52.359 in that last sort of fifteen minutes in there. 0:02:52.880 --> 0:02:55.840 Yeah, I know, And I stupidly I put some happiness 0:02:55.880 --> 0:02:58.800 insurance im in New South Wales supporter by no other 0:02:58.840 --> 0:03:00.880 reason than I've been to Sydney more times in Brisbane 0:03:02.080 --> 0:03:05.000 and so. But I dumped my TA B account on 0:03:05.080 --> 0:03:07.799 Queensland because I was like, ah, they're playing at home. 0:03:07.919 --> 0:03:11.200 They never lose at sun Court, and they tuned around 0:03:11.200 --> 0:03:14.160 and they lost, but a biff. Good to see a 0:03:14.160 --> 0:03:14.880 bit of birth. 0:03:14.720 --> 0:03:17.079 Back, yeah, bit of berth, but a bit of how's 0:03:17.120 --> 0:03:19.440 your father? It was very scrappy. I was actually before 0:03:19.480 --> 0:03:20.920 the game. I knew it was going to be like that, 0:03:21.000 --> 0:03:23.120 and I thought, I wonder if there's a way I 0:03:23.120 --> 0:03:25.400 can turn this into a financial gain for myself. But 0:03:25.520 --> 0:03:29.560 I couldn't find a. 0:03:28.040 --> 0:03:30.200 Sin binning on the tab. 0:03:30.360 --> 0:03:33.400 But I was like, I'm so sure if a sin 0:03:33.520 --> 0:03:35.240 bend for both teams was an option, I was going 0:03:35.240 --> 0:03:37.560 to get on it. I also swung for the fences 0:03:37.600 --> 0:03:39.040 last night and had a four league multi that was 0:03:39.080 --> 0:03:40.520 paying about six hundred bucks, and. 0:03:42.080 --> 0:03:44.840 I did that too. I went to the I went 0:03:44.880 --> 0:03:48.200 to the to the Maltese and then like most popular ones, 0:03:48.800 --> 0:03:50.720 and I just put it. I spread a dollar on. 0:03:50.880 --> 0:03:52.520 Quite a few of them were like six hundred and 0:03:52.560 --> 0:03:54.360 seven hundred bucks. I was like, oh, that's worth a dollar. 0:03:54.480 --> 0:03:57.080 That's worth a dollar. That's worth a dollar. Hoping for 0:03:57.120 --> 0:03:59.000 a high scoring affair because it was like four or 0:03:59.040 --> 0:04:03.760 five try scorers combined into a New South Wales worm 0:04:03.960 --> 0:04:05.880 and just the blow out in the end. 0:04:05.800 --> 0:04:07.440 I knew it was going to go low. But that's 0:04:07.440 --> 0:04:10.560 all about all I knew about that game. Our boy Mona, 0:04:10.640 --> 0:04:13.360 Mitch gave himself, gave a great account of himself for 0:04:13.360 --> 0:04:16.880 his state. Yesterday I caught up with Tom from the 0:04:16.880 --> 0:04:20.480 hellow Sports podcast that big new South Welshman. They are 0:04:20.480 --> 0:04:22.920 big on Mitch Barnett when they heard the story. I 0:04:22.960 --> 0:04:24.680 don't know if you listened to the podcast yesterday, but 0:04:25.040 --> 0:04:27.640 when they heard the story about Mitch Barnett missing the 0:04:27.680 --> 0:04:29.599 birth of his son to hold pads at training, they 0:04:29.640 --> 0:04:31.320 were like, we're going to do something to reward him. 0:04:31.560 --> 0:04:36.800 They wanted to buy him nappies and wet wipes to 0:04:36.880 --> 0:04:40.760 the value of the amount of meters he ran, multiplied 0:04:40.800 --> 0:04:43.760 by the amount of tackles he made, multiplied by a 0:04:43.839 --> 0:04:45.280 fuck load, and that was. 0:04:45.240 --> 0:04:47.200 Their three metrics. 0:04:48.360 --> 0:04:50.520 So we now we still don't know what a fuckload is, 0:04:50.680 --> 0:04:53.200 but we now know how many tackles and meters he made. 0:04:53.839 --> 0:04:55.840 The problem we have is. 0:04:57.279 --> 0:04:59.279 They don't want to just donate the money to the club, 0:04:59.320 --> 0:05:01.960 because that's not really the the idea it's about. 0:05:02.080 --> 0:05:04.080 It's about the act of gift giving. 0:05:04.880 --> 0:05:08.080 But they can't fly the stuff over because now you're 0:05:08.080 --> 0:05:10.480 bringing customs into it. So I said yesterday, can we help, 0:05:10.760 --> 0:05:13.760 We'll get a use we can take it out there. 0:05:13.880 --> 0:05:15.920 What I don't what I need to figure out now 0:05:16.320 --> 0:05:18.680 is I was sort of hoping that the Blues would 0:05:18.720 --> 0:05:20.520 lose last night and this whole thing would just fall 0:05:20.520 --> 0:05:23.360 by the wayside because I've actually accidentally signed myself up. 0:05:23.279 --> 0:05:24.960 For more work. But now I'm going to figure out 0:05:24.960 --> 0:05:28.360 the logistics of do we go at the costco? 0:05:28.839 --> 0:05:31.440 Do we take our credit card and then bank on 0:05:31.480 --> 0:05:36.120 the fact that we're gonna charge Hello Sport back for it. 0:05:36.720 --> 0:05:38.880 It's an interesting conundrum, isn't it, Like do we ask 0:05:38.920 --> 0:05:41.640 for careshap front from Hello Sport? I mean, are they 0:05:41.680 --> 0:05:42.120 good for it? 0:05:42.240 --> 0:05:42.440 You? 0:05:42.440 --> 0:05:45.320 You obviously talk to them, and I mean how the 0:05:45.360 --> 0:05:47.640 judge of character there the kind of guys will pay 0:05:47.640 --> 0:05:50.039 Apple we'd fly over to Sydney and you know some 0:05:50.240 --> 0:05:51.200 standover tectics. 0:05:51.320 --> 0:05:54.640 I think I think they're good for I think the 0:05:54.760 --> 0:05:58.640 men of their word. I don't know the financial situation 0:05:59.200 --> 0:06:01.760 over there at Hello Sports Podcast. I know they tell 0:06:01.800 --> 0:06:03.520 us that they're good for it, and I believe that 0:06:03.560 --> 0:06:05.120 when they tell us that, they believe that. 0:06:05.680 --> 0:06:07.920 But you know what, what are we looking at? 0:06:08.200 --> 0:06:11.320 Well costs? This is this is what I don't know. Obviously, 0:06:11.400 --> 0:06:15.520 the funct hunt aside. I don't know how how many 0:06:15.600 --> 0:06:18.080 nappies does a new parent need? 0:06:19.839 --> 0:06:20.360 You go through? 0:06:20.360 --> 0:06:22.640 Probably five or six today a day. 0:06:23.279 --> 0:06:24.760 Yeah, so how big is it? 0:06:24.760 --> 0:06:27.800 Because I was looking up some of the different packs 0:06:27.800 --> 0:06:29.679 you can get, and you can get big seventy packs. 0:06:29.680 --> 0:06:32.200 They're about yes, would they be about thirty dollars for 0:06:32.279 --> 0:06:33.080 like a seventy packs? 0:06:33.080 --> 0:06:33.960 That sounds about right. 0:06:34.640 --> 0:06:37.200 I'm unsure, but yeah, the newborn ones they're quite small 0:06:37.240 --> 0:06:40.880 because the newborn ones they're just squirting, squirting constantly because 0:06:40.880 --> 0:06:42.799 they're on them, they're on the mother's milk, so they're 0:06:43.800 --> 0:06:47.599 the whole time, you know. So it's yeah, it's there's 0:06:47.640 --> 0:06:52.240 not a lot of body to it. It's just bum squirts, bumweez. 0:06:52.880 --> 0:06:57.080 So yeah, I guess the logistics are, maybe we talk 0:06:57.160 --> 0:07:00.200 to them, we agree on a number that we are 0:07:00.279 --> 0:07:03.479 confident in that they're good for. We take it in 0:07:03.560 --> 0:07:05.800 good faith that we use our own company credit card 0:07:06.560 --> 0:07:09.880 head out to Costco the warehouse somewhere like this. They 0:07:09.920 --> 0:07:13.160 did mention that they'd reached out to Huggies and got 0:07:13.400 --> 0:07:14.120 given one of the. 0:07:14.040 --> 0:07:15.560 Big stuff arms of all time. 0:07:16.040 --> 0:07:20.040 Oh yeah, from that, So yeah, I think that's where 0:07:20.040 --> 0:07:22.080 we come in Okay, I. 0:07:22.200 --> 0:07:23.640 Like, come into it if you think they're good for it, 0:07:23.680 --> 0:07:26.840 if you can vouch for their character, mini and their 0:07:27.320 --> 0:07:34.760 their financial acumen for Australians. But if you can vouch 0:07:34.800 --> 0:07:37.840 for them, then finalance do it? Maybe reach a number 0:07:37.840 --> 0:07:39.840 that that's the it's the funck load times of funck 0:07:39.880 --> 0:07:41.560 load that might might trip us. 0:07:41.680 --> 0:07:44.320 That's the variable. Yeah, that's the veryable. We're going to 0:07:44.400 --> 0:07:44.600 do it? 0:07:44.600 --> 0:07:47.120 All right, Well I will, I'll fire an email off 0:07:47.200 --> 0:07:49.240 and but look, here's what we're willing to do. 0:07:49.800 --> 0:07:53.120 What's the number you're comfortable with us? You know? 0:07:53.800 --> 0:07:55.440 Well, then we've got to throw out logistics of how 0:07:55.440 --> 0:07:57.480 we're going to get it. To Mitch Barnett, how were 0:07:57.480 --> 0:07:59.240 going to get Do we just go out to Warriors 0:07:59.280 --> 0:08:01.680 training and just tip the back of the ute into 0:08:01.720 --> 0:08:03.840 the field. Do we drop it at his house? Do 0:08:03.920 --> 0:08:06.640 we drop it at the club? Because I have a 0:08:06.680 --> 0:08:08.720 sneaky suspicion if we drop it at the club, they'll 0:08:08.760 --> 0:08:11.240 donate it to the local community and do something quite 0:08:11.280 --> 0:08:14.280 you know who wholesome with it. Yeah, we need to 0:08:14.560 --> 0:08:17.600 we need to live it at least some to Mitch Barney. 0:08:18.520 --> 0:08:20.720 He doesn't seem like the kind of guy who would 0:08:20.720 --> 0:08:24.000 willingly give out his home address, would be my only concern. 0:08:24.680 --> 0:08:26.480 Okay, I certainly don't. 0:08:26.600 --> 0:08:29.120 Maybe that's that's a job for the Hello Sport team. 0:08:29.160 --> 0:08:30.880 I think you know they've got contexts in Sydney. 0:08:31.040 --> 0:08:35.840 Yes, they've got contacts with the Warriors. Yes, yeah, you're right. 0:08:36.000 --> 0:08:37.800 I mentioned to them that we do have a yute, 0:08:37.840 --> 0:08:40.640 but it's got the you know there's it's got the 0:08:40.720 --> 0:08:42.160 pull out draws in the back of the tray. 0:08:42.200 --> 0:08:43.600 So we actually don't have a whole lot. 0:08:43.520 --> 0:08:45.920 Of storage space in there, but we could We could 0:08:45.920 --> 0:08:47.000 potentially use the caravan. 0:08:47.640 --> 0:08:50.559 Yeah, we could load the caravan easy or just get 0:08:50.600 --> 0:08:52.800 a cage trailer. I'm picking. If we're going to buy 0:08:52.920 --> 0:08:55.080 five thousand dollars in the nappiece, it's quite a lot. 0:08:55.240 --> 0:08:56.319 It's once the palette. 0:08:57.120 --> 0:08:59.880 Oh yeah, Pellett, let's just ask Costco or a palette 0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:03.320 costs and then go from there. All right, all right, 0:09:03.480 --> 0:09:06.960 well we'll take that offline. We'll have a tense, terse negotiation. 0:09:08.559 --> 0:09:10.599 I have to figure out the exchange rate with the 0:09:10.640 --> 0:09:14.880 Australian dollar as well, and we'll figure that whole thing out. 0:09:14.920 --> 0:09:17.320 They are open to coming over here and helping assist 0:09:17.400 --> 0:09:19.679 with the delivery as well pull us off. 0:09:19.720 --> 0:09:21.880 So we'll keep this We'll keep this ball rolling. 0:09:21.920 --> 0:09:24.880 We need to capitalize on this momentum while we can 0:09:24.800 --> 0:09:26.959 the other big sporting news and the reason why the 0:09:26.960 --> 0:09:30.600 podcast a little later out this afternoon is because the 0:09:30.640 --> 0:09:34.120 All Blacks team list has been named and Raza has 0:09:34.120 --> 0:09:37.679 gotten very, very experimental with this one, as I think 0:09:37.720 --> 0:09:38.320 we all knew. 0:09:38.160 --> 0:09:41.200 Who's going to. 0:09:39.960 --> 0:09:44.360 To Mighty Williams sare More Fletcher Newle Scott Barrett retains 0:09:44.440 --> 0:09:47.800 the captain's armband. Tipo Vaii joins him because tweet be 0:09:47.800 --> 0:09:52.079 loot to Evan's Charlton stayed home. American Dad Luke Jacobson 0:09:52.600 --> 0:09:55.800 Ethan Blackadder both find their way onto the park to 0:09:55.880 --> 0:09:59.600 start here. Artie Savia will be at number eight. Cortez, 0:10:00.240 --> 0:10:04.400 fresh off his debut, will be your half back. Damien McKenzie. 0:10:04.440 --> 0:10:06.840 It's his fiftieth cap for the All Blacks. He's in 0:10:06.880 --> 0:10:09.280 at first five. Jubb with the Buck Cali Clark's in 0:10:09.280 --> 0:10:13.800 there at eleven, Anton Leonard Brown, Billy Proctor makes his debut, 0:10:15.200 --> 0:10:16.680 Sevarice and Bowden. 0:10:16.760 --> 0:10:19.000 Barrett comes back into fallback. 0:10:19.440 --> 0:10:21.640 There's a raft of debutantes off the bell as well 0:10:21.800 --> 0:10:25.160 off the bench as well, George Bell, Passilo Tossi, Sam 0:10:25.240 --> 0:10:28.520 Darry and Wallace Side City's in there, plus Noah Hotham. 0:10:28.559 --> 0:10:32.720 So they're really just blooding a few a few new players, 0:10:32.760 --> 0:10:33.280 aren't they. 0:10:33.520 --> 0:10:35.760 Yeah, how Sam Darry. Sam Darry would have just been 0:10:36.280 --> 0:10:39.640 on the tear after the Super Rugby Final and all 0:10:39.640 --> 0:10:42.679 of a sudden, Patrick Tupelo to even Charlton One news 0:10:42.720 --> 0:10:44.480 goes down and he's now he's going to make his 0:10:44.559 --> 0:10:46.559 debut for the All Blacks in California. 0:10:46.679 --> 0:10:48.760 It sort of reminds me. Have you ever seen Blue 0:10:48.760 --> 0:10:52.760 Mountain State? It was there was an American show about 0:10:52.800 --> 0:10:56.160 a college football team, and it was all centered around 0:10:56.200 --> 0:11:00.960 the reserve quarterback and how he was basically just in 0:11:01.040 --> 0:11:03.240 the team just to be a college quarterback. But he 0:11:03.280 --> 0:11:05.320 didn't actually want to play any of the games. He 0:11:05.400 --> 0:11:07.280 just wanted to go to the frat houses and piss up. 0:11:07.720 --> 0:11:10.160 But the starting quarterback kept getting injured. He's like, fuck, 0:11:10.160 --> 0:11:12.400 I gotta play again. I feel like that's been twenty 0:11:12.440 --> 0:11:15.559 twenty four for Samdarry. He's just been sort of hanging 0:11:15.559 --> 0:11:16.880 out on the bench and then all of a sudden 0:11:16.880 --> 0:11:19.560 Too is injured again. He's like, oh fuck, I'm gonna 0:11:19.559 --> 0:11:21.280 have to come and play every game of Super rugby 0:11:21.320 --> 0:11:24.079 to an All Black level. And then he's like, oh sweet, 0:11:24.080 --> 0:11:25.480 at least I don't. I can get on the person 0:11:25.480 --> 0:11:28.200 now say oh again. Now I'm gonna go back in there. 0:11:31.040 --> 0:11:32.800 Yeah, but it's great to see side tit in there. 0:11:33.000 --> 0:11:37.680 Great to see quartees at Atim rewarded for his energetic 0:11:37.840 --> 0:11:41.400 twenty thirty minutes on Saturday. That's it's gonna be. It's 0:11:41.440 --> 0:11:43.040 gonna be good for him. Good. I mean, this is 0:11:43.040 --> 0:11:46.400 the opportunity time to blood blood players like when is 0:11:46.840 --> 0:11:49.319 I mean Argentina. Arguably, you wouldn't want to do that 0:11:49.400 --> 0:11:52.840 against Argentina. I've proven, I've proven that, and you don't 0:11:52.840 --> 0:11:54.920 want you certainly don't want to be blooding new players 0:11:54.960 --> 0:11:56.679 in South Africa when they go over there for two 0:11:56.720 --> 0:11:59.680 test matches. So good to see him, you know, throw 0:12:00.040 --> 0:12:00.920 rub it and mud at the wall. 0:12:02.360 --> 0:12:02.959 I don't mind it. 0:12:03.000 --> 0:12:06.480 But I kind of think if I was All Black's coach, 0:12:06.520 --> 0:12:08.760 and perhaps this is why I'm not, I would just 0:12:08.800 --> 0:12:11.440 pick the same team every single week and be like, 0:12:11.559 --> 0:12:14.160 this is the All Black team and it doesn't matter 0:12:14.160 --> 0:12:17.560 if we're playing the Timuru Boys High School First fifteen 0:12:17.960 --> 0:12:20.800 we're playing the spring Box. This is the team and 0:12:20.840 --> 0:12:22.840 we go out there every game and sorry if we 0:12:22.880 --> 0:12:24.800 beat you by one hundred and fifty points to nil, 0:12:25.400 --> 0:12:27.000 but we are the All Blacks. This is the team 0:12:27.000 --> 0:12:28.960 that we play because I do think continuity is a 0:12:28.960 --> 0:12:30.839 big part of it. But I guess as the flip 0:12:30.880 --> 0:12:33.920 side of that that injuries are very real and when 0:12:33.960 --> 0:12:35.920 players go out, you don't want to have to then 0:12:35.920 --> 0:12:38.080 put Wallace Setti under the bright lights. 0:12:38.480 --> 0:12:41.760 Yeah, yeah, you've answered your own question there. That's exactly 0:12:41.840 --> 0:12:45.520 what would happen, because you can't have, you know, side 0:12:45.559 --> 0:12:49.200 Teddy coming into Cape Town with no games under his 0:12:49.280 --> 0:12:53.120 belt to play against South Africa when Ardie Severe goes 0:12:53.160 --> 0:12:56.880 down and Blackadder goes down. So I think it's good. 0:12:56.920 --> 0:12:58.640 I think it's good. It's a good opportunity to do that, 0:12:58.800 --> 0:13:00.640 and that's what we need to do, need to develop 0:13:00.640 --> 0:13:02.920 our players further, and these are the perfect games to 0:13:03.000 --> 0:13:05.760 do it. Certainly, don't do it against argentineass Certainly don't 0:13:05.800 --> 0:13:07.439 do it against Australia or South Africa. 0:13:07.520 --> 0:13:10.760 A couple of interesting points around this game, not particularly 0:13:10.760 --> 0:13:13.640 related to the team list, but one is the name 0:13:13.679 --> 0:13:15.880 of the venue that they're playing as they're in San Diego. 0:13:16.120 --> 0:13:19.040 It is being played at Snapdragon Stadium. One of the 0:13:19.040 --> 0:13:22.720 most powerful names that I've ever heard for a stadium, Snapdragon. 0:13:22.760 --> 0:13:24.360 They know how to do it over there. None of 0:13:24.360 --> 0:13:26.320 the orange theory, Apollo shit. 0:13:26.720 --> 0:13:29.320 Oh Snapdragon. There used to be a bar and buy 0:13:29.400 --> 0:13:33.319 that called Snapdragon. Really, can you remember that? I remember 0:13:33.320 --> 0:13:35.760 being thrown out of there because someone they wouldn't. I 0:13:35.760 --> 0:13:38.040 remember rolling up my receipt and flicking it back at 0:13:38.080 --> 0:13:40.240 the bar and hitting him in the forehead, and then 0:13:40.360 --> 0:13:42.560 him just looking at me and going get out, get 0:13:42.559 --> 0:13:45.120 out of here quickly. Had to biff on my drinks. 0:13:45.240 --> 0:13:49.040 And then a guy the size of Tossi came and 0:13:49.200 --> 0:13:51.520 picked me up, sent me at the back, not out 0:13:51.559 --> 0:13:54.480 the front, at the back in the viaducts. So that 0:13:54.559 --> 0:13:55.719 was even worse. I thought I was going to get 0:13:55.720 --> 0:13:57.400 my beans, buts I care about it. 0:13:57.520 --> 0:14:02.400 At the back of all the chefs are smoking, yeah correct, yeah, unlucky. 0:14:02.640 --> 0:14:04.600 And the other thing is so this one is slated 0:14:04.640 --> 0:14:06.599 for a two thirty start, which I quite like the 0:14:06.640 --> 0:14:10.120 Saturday afternoon start, but we will have dueling huckers, so 0:14:10.160 --> 0:14:11.680 we're going to have to start a little bit early. 0:14:11.720 --> 0:14:13.600 I think we're going to start around the two fifteen. 0:14:14.840 --> 0:14:16.880 What are they going to do? Because are they gonna 0:14:17.679 --> 0:14:19.600 respect each other's hacker or are we going to see a 0:14:19.600 --> 0:14:22.080 hacker off? I think simultaneous. 0:14:22.160 --> 0:14:23.240 Well, this is so. 0:14:23.320 --> 0:14:26.520 What usually happens is the home team will kick theirs 0:14:26.520 --> 0:14:29.840 off first, and then about halfway through, the visitors will 0:14:29.880 --> 0:14:33.280 lay their challenge down. So you got dueling hucker's going on. 0:14:33.640 --> 0:14:35.360 Who is the home team here? 0:14:35.760 --> 0:14:36.280 Is it us? 0:14:36.560 --> 0:14:39.960 I think it's us because it's part of it's still 0:14:40.000 --> 0:14:40.880 the same series. 0:14:41.400 --> 0:14:43.120 Yeah, it's still so. 0:14:43.280 --> 0:14:46.720 I believe it's us who are dragging the poor Figan 0:14:46.760 --> 0:14:48.760 team all the way over to California, or they you know, 0:14:48.840 --> 0:14:50.840 they probably quite enjoy that hanging out in San Diego. 0:14:50.880 --> 0:14:55.720 They probably watched the Yeah their sale GP. Yeah, rageously confused. 0:14:59.000 --> 0:15:03.200 I yeah, I feel like with the deweling hocker, they 0:15:03.280 --> 0:15:05.520 know what they're coming up against. Everyone that's you know, 0:15:05.560 --> 0:15:08.480 the Fijian team. They know we're either going to go 0:15:08.560 --> 0:15:11.400 with the old school comments or we had a couple 0:15:11.440 --> 0:15:13.720 of pongo on the weekend twice. 0:15:14.040 --> 0:15:16.720 Hey, we've had it twice. Yeah, I reckon we go 0:15:16.760 --> 0:15:18.800 back to back. I reckon, we go. 0:15:19.080 --> 0:15:21.200 We go A couple of pongos straight into come up 0:15:21.240 --> 0:15:23.080 to it, just so that we drag it out. So 0:15:23.160 --> 0:15:26.480 we go first, then they start, they think are going 0:15:26.560 --> 0:15:29.520 to still be going when we finished, just when we finish, 0:15:29.880 --> 0:15:31.320 fire a couple of pung wo again. 0:15:31.800 --> 0:15:33.960 Oh that's a good idea. Yeah, that's a great idea. 0:15:33.960 --> 0:15:35.880 And then see what they respond with and they might 0:15:35.920 --> 0:15:38.400 have come back with something else, and then someone might 0:15:38.440 --> 0:15:41.600 have to pull out a guitar and then start singing, 0:15:41.800 --> 0:15:44.760 and they just keep coming back for Yeah, what point. 0:15:44.640 --> 0:15:47.000 Do we have to revert to two send of my 0:15:47.560 --> 0:15:49.520 just to just to keep the thing going. 0:15:50.040 --> 0:15:52.920 Just yeah, I'm a big fan of that. They would 0:15:52.920 --> 0:15:55.320 they would throw the Fijians off because that'd expect to 0:15:55.400 --> 0:15:57.680 end it and then all of a sudden yep. 0:15:59.320 --> 0:16:02.000 Yeah, but no, I am looking forward to this regardless. 0:16:02.040 --> 0:16:05.640 Anytime you play Fiji, it's going to be an electric game. 0:16:05.720 --> 0:16:07.520 And the team that we've named as well is going 0:16:07.560 --> 0:16:09.920 to be much the same. So I'm looking forward to that. 0:16:09.920 --> 0:16:12.280 That coverage will start. As we said at two point fifteen, 0:16:12.800 --> 0:16:15.200 Maddy and I are commentating Natman Matt Ward. 0:16:15.520 --> 0:16:17.960 And I'm taking a knee. 0:16:18.240 --> 0:16:21.400 Yeah, look Lane, Lane's gone the ground.
