Great to be here on 0:00:20.400 --> 0:00:20.960 a Tuesday. 0:00:20.960 --> 0:00:22.759 It feels like summer today, it does. 0:00:22.840 --> 0:00:24.919 I've come. I've got the dogs out. Yeah, you do 0:00:25.160 --> 0:00:27.000 the dog the dogs out. I got the shorts, I 0:00:27.120 --> 0:00:28.720 got the birkenstocks on. 0:00:29.320 --> 0:00:29.520 Yeah. 0:00:29.680 --> 0:00:31.800 It had a vibe to it. This morning I caught 0:00:31.800 --> 0:00:34.800 the faerry to work. It was glassy, it was there 0:00:34.800 --> 0:00:37.200 was not a cloud in the sky. I almost felt 0:00:37.200 --> 0:00:38.920 like crashing a beer on the ferry. But they don't 0:00:38.920 --> 0:00:41.640 serve before ten. Uh, it's disappointing. 0:00:42.000 --> 0:00:44.880 But I mean, how why do they not serve before ten? 0:00:44.920 --> 0:00:47.879 How slosh could you possibly get on a half hour? 0:00:48.320 --> 0:00:52.040 I'm not sure. It's just a good look. And when 0:00:52.080 --> 0:00:54.040 I was a youngster on this is another store on 0:00:54.040 --> 0:00:55.800 the Devonport Firry when they used to have the Kia. 0:00:56.440 --> 0:00:58.360 If you've been to Auckland, the Kia was this kind 0:00:58.400 --> 0:01:00.360 of fairy that had two fronts and it just go 0:01:00.400 --> 0:01:02.840 backwards and forwards, so I wouldn't have to reverse or 0:01:02.920 --> 0:01:05.039 come out. And it was quite slow, and it had 0:01:05.040 --> 0:01:07.200 a bar at the top. And when I used to 0:01:07.200 --> 0:01:10.240 live over and Devin Purt in my twenties, mahyday at 0:01:10.319 --> 0:01:12.080 least to have a competition about how many beers you 0:01:12.120 --> 0:01:15.200 could drink between and the ferry. And it was only 0:01:15.200 --> 0:01:17.440 fifteen minutes. But you've got to get up to the 0:01:17.480 --> 0:01:20.320 bar straight away, order the beer while it's still boarding, 0:01:20.680 --> 0:01:23.160 and then you only you biffit so you could turn 0:01:23.200 --> 0:01:24.880 around and you have two big gulps, put it in 0:01:24.920 --> 0:01:28.080 the recycle bin, order two more, try and neck as 0:01:28.160 --> 0:01:29.920 much as that one, then back to your table. And 0:01:30.040 --> 0:01:30.560 I think. 0:01:30.400 --> 0:01:32.520 Four was we've got four and right four is about 0:01:32.560 --> 0:01:35.720 part Yeah. Yeah for all competitive junger. You want to 0:01:35.760 --> 0:01:38.720 you want to have one down before boarding's finished, yes, yeah, 0:01:38.760 --> 0:01:39.960 before it leaves the dock. 0:01:40.080 --> 0:01:42.240 You've got to be at least one down, and then 0:01:42.280 --> 0:01:44.200 you've got another fifteen minutes to climb through three. But 0:01:44.240 --> 0:01:45.959 you've got to do it without being spotted by the 0:01:46.040 --> 0:01:46.640 bar manager. 0:01:46.680 --> 0:01:47.039 That's right. 0:01:47.080 --> 0:01:48.640 So you're going to want a busy commute so that 0:01:48.680 --> 0:01:50.600 other people are hiding as you were up to. 0:01:50.680 --> 0:01:52.800 Correct and then then lining up. Usually it's a Friday 0:01:52.840 --> 0:01:55.640 afternoon is when things get a bit funky. And we 0:01:55.680 --> 0:01:58.200 also used to use the Kere as a speed dating 0:01:59.120 --> 0:02:01.360 scene because on a day night we would sit up 0:02:01.360 --> 0:02:03.040 in the bar and it would go from Dimport to 0:02:03.080 --> 0:02:05.080 Auckland and we're just try and meet people up in 0:02:05.120 --> 0:02:08.720 the bar rough stairs. Yeah and yeah what he goes 0:02:08.800 --> 0:02:10.240 up to tonight? We hit it and then if we 0:02:10.240 --> 0:02:12.240 didn't get any bites, we'd just stay on the fury 0:02:12.240 --> 0:02:15.240 and come back to Devenport and wait for new and 0:02:15.400 --> 0:02:19.839 wait for a new load. And me and my mate 0:02:19.880 --> 0:02:23.640 Ramma Ramma Lama Dingong, we used to sit out the 0:02:23.680 --> 0:02:25.880 top of that theory and go back to some forwards 0:02:26.000 --> 0:02:28.400 until someone was dumb enough to tell us where they're 0:02:28.440 --> 0:02:31.800 going and asking us if we wanted to come hell you, 0:02:31.919 --> 0:02:33.560 we'll go to Degree with you, or we'll go to 0:02:33.639 --> 0:02:35.960 Provadore or some other ship hole and. 0:02:37.280 --> 0:02:37.920 This is grotten. 0:02:41.120 --> 0:02:45.040 Likely Hawk and Rat went with us, which my other 0:02:45.160 --> 0:02:50.680 mates is I remember we did.

Is one have mopped that up? 0:08:25.960 --> 0:08:27.800 I guess this is two twenty twenty four? 0:08:28.640 --> 0:08:30.240 Yeah, so yeah, only. 0:08:30.040 --> 0:08:32.800 This year actually, so yeah, you're right. 0:08:32.840 --> 0:08:33.160 I don't know. 0:08:33.160 --> 0:08:36.480 Maybe Ardie Savi here, but they've got Caitlin Doris, the 0:08:36.480 --> 0:08:40.320 Irish fella even it's a Peter Stiff to toy and 0:08:40.360 --> 0:08:43.000 Chislin Cobby, which makes me think that it covers the 0:08:43.000 --> 0:08:45.599 World Cup. World Cup. Yeah, those guys were outstanding. 0:08:46.720 --> 0:08:48.839 No Doon. 0:08:49.000 --> 0:08:51.760 He was nominated for the Sevens Player of the Year, 0:08:52.480 --> 0:08:54.360 which I think he's one hands down either. 0:08:54.360 --> 0:08:55.480 He was outstanding in the. 0:08:55.480 --> 0:08:59.520 Sevens campaign at the Olympics. Mikayla Blyd and Georgia Miller 0:08:59.559 --> 0:09:02.199 both normally noted for the sevens as well. We did 0:09:02.240 --> 0:09:05.319 get him in in the men's fifteens Breakthrough Player of 0:09:05.360 --> 0:09:08.480 the Year. Wallace citt Ah side Teddy Well.

Was that his first year 0:09:21.520 --> 0:09:25.199 of international rugby? Think it? I think it was? Yeah, okay, 0:09:25.440 --> 0:09:27.400 it was excellent. Side Teddy might be up against X 0:09:27.400 --> 0:09:28.840 I think we're both so may take that out. 0:09:28.960 --> 0:09:31.840 Yeah, and such a fine Berg and Gormezulu from the 0:09:31.840 --> 0:09:33.160 Republic of South Africa. 0:09:33.360 --> 0:09:35.360 I couldn't name you who that was it? One of 0:09:35.400 --> 0:09:36.080 the bombs squads. 0:09:36.080 --> 0:09:38.920 I thought Sasha Feinberg was an actor or some sort. 0:09:39.400 --> 0:09:41.000 I think in a Sasha Baron car. Yeah, I don't 0:09:41.040 --> 0:09:45.400 know anyway, So those are the awards I think. I 0:09:45.400 --> 0:09:47.199 think well of the tit would be up there. I mean, 0:09:47.200 --> 0:09:50.000 when those Welsh guys accosted us in Amsterdam, all they 0:09:50.040 --> 0:09:50.760 wanted to talk. 0:09:50.559 --> 0:09:53.320 About was what was t T is a good rugby player? 0:09:53.400 --> 0:09:57.960 If I am and lost the X yeah, always have 0:09:58.280 --> 0:10:01.840 edged some or a gripping game at eight mil. 0:10:01.880 --> 0:10:05.080 And I love how people commented as a commentators are 0:10:05.080 --> 0:10:08.079 saying a good, good game because it didn't blow out 0:10:08.120 --> 0:10:11.439 too much. Are they expecting a twenty nil or an. 0:10:11.600 --> 0:10:13.520 I mean it was three at half time, so you know, 0:10:13.600 --> 0:10:16.120 I feel like I don't think they left anything out there. 0:10:16.240 --> 0:10:18.599 So they say, all whites, this is our path to 0:10:19.679 --> 0:10:23.679 facall World Cup in America, Canada and Mexico. Is we've 0:10:23.679 --> 0:10:28.080 got Fiji next, yeah, yeah, or Tahiti or. 0:10:28.760 --> 0:10:32.160 So who do you think wins that? Tahiti or two. 0:10:32.160 --> 0:10:33.120 I don't know, Tahiti. 0:10:33.160 --> 0:10:42.079 I think yeah, the verbositi Tahiti will probably win that. 0:10:42.200 --> 0:10:45.040 I imagine it's I think a bit more Frenchies than 0:10:45.080 --> 0:10:52.480 Tahiti who they got Dave, Yeah, Dave goes hard to 0:10:52.480 --> 0:10:58.040 be fair, but you've got to say that is a 0:10:58.080 --> 0:11:02.679 pretty good path to the Fifth Cup for the because 0:11:02.760 --> 0:11:05.080 at the time it was easier in Asia than it 0:11:05.160 --> 0:11:07.480 was coming through Oceania in South America because they limped 0:11:07.520 --> 0:11:10.520 us into South America and they're like, I've playing Columbia 0:11:10.640 --> 0:11:14.960 or Mexico every time to qualify, and they went, we're 0:11:15.280 --> 0:11:19.200 back ourselves to beat because in Asia is the Middle 0:11:19.240 --> 0:11:20.800 East as well, so that you know, you've got the 0:11:20.920 --> 0:11:23.800 Bahrains and the Saudis and stuff. So the Australians are 0:11:23.840 --> 0:11:26.640 like and I think from the Asia group, I think 0:11:26.679 --> 0:11:28.920 the top four go through, so you've got to so 0:11:28.960 --> 0:11:31.640 you can come forth and still go through, whereas Oceana 0:11:31.640 --> 0:11:33.760 you've got to win and then you play the fifth 0:11:33.800 --> 0:11:37.040 place South American team, which is usually a weapon of 0:11:37.040 --> 0:11:39.400 a team because they're so good at football. 0:11:39.480 --> 0:11:41.920 Right, So what so if we win this whole thing, 0:11:41.960 --> 0:11:44.679 then do we still have to play South America Australia? 0:11:44.760 --> 0:11:46.840 This is? This is They've changed it. So we automatic 0:11:46.880 --> 0:11:50.439 qualification from Oceania. Hell yeah, and we will be at 0:11:50.440 --> 0:11:54.640 the FIFA World Cup again in America as well, Canada, 0:11:54.880 --> 0:11:58.160 Mexico and the stadiums they're playing at mean. 0:11:58.720 --> 0:12:01.240 College football stadiums, yeah yeah, and some. 0:12:01.360 --> 0:12:04.440 Mean cities as well. So target that if you had 0:12:04.600 --> 0:12:06.520 been to a FEEFA World Cup, it's I went to 0:12:06.559 --> 0:12:11.200 one in Germany, is mean. Yeah, you'll never experience anything 0:12:11.240 --> 0:12:11.480 like it. 0:12:11.880 --> 0:12:12.280 I am. 0:12:12.760 --> 0:12:14.319 So we don't have to play the Middle East and 0:12:14.400 --> 0:12:16.199 team Okay, good, none of man. 0:12:16.520 --> 0:12:17.120 I'm surprised. 0:12:17.160 --> 0:12:20.520 I've seen some football pitchers in the Middle East that 0:12:20.600 --> 0:12:25.160 would shock and appolla. They are like on rock beds 0:12:25.440 --> 0:12:27.439 with just two goals set up at each end. Yeah, 0:12:27.480 --> 0:12:29.400 I've never seen anyone playing on them, but I was like, jeez, 0:12:29.440 --> 0:12:30.520 imagine the kids. 0:12:30.520 --> 0:12:33.040 That is that's through Oman Yeah yeah, yeah, that's just. 0:12:32.920 --> 0:12:36.760 Like it's like Central Otago, just on a bit of shift. Yeah, 0:12:36.760 --> 0:12:39.600 it's just imagine the old body dry waddy beds. They 0:12:39.679 --> 0:12:41.520 just set a couple of posts, go for it. 0:12:41.640 --> 0:12:42.960 That truly is the global game. 0:12:43.559 --> 0:12:46.599 A hat trick to New Zealand's greatest ever athletic Chris Woods. 0:12:47.040 --> 0:12:49.760 He scored three of the best last night as well. 0:12:49.760 --> 0:12:54.800 A go hard stadium, So oh what's advanced? And one 0:12:54.840 --> 0:12:57.840 step closer to the Rugby World Cup? I have the 0:12:57.840 --> 0:13:00.720 Football World Cup. I have come across a startling fact 0:13:01.120 --> 0:13:04.760 that will shock you to your core, and it regards 0:13:05.080 --> 0:13:07.200 cricket and music. 0:13:07.800 --> 0:13:09.360 And I will regale you with this. 0:13:10.880 --> 0:13:14.520 No, no, okay, maybe no, we're right back. 0:13:17.280 --> 0:13:20.480 The White Stripes album Elephant, Yes, I'm familiar with it. 0:13:20.480 --> 0:13:22.720 It came out in two thousand and three, is the 0:13:22.720 --> 0:13:24.880 one that had seven Nation Army on it. 0:13:25.000 --> 0:13:25.559 It's sold. 0:13:27.480 --> 0:13:30.280 One of the all time sports chants as well, and 0:13:30.880 --> 0:13:33.520 chants the affairs chance, Oh yeah, yes too, and one 0:13:33.520 --> 0:13:35.040 of the first songs that you learned on guitar. 0:13:35.160 --> 0:13:38.280 Yeah, you pick up a guitar. It came out in 0:13:38.280 --> 0:13:39.000 two thousand and three. 0:13:39.000 --> 0:13:43.439 It sold four million copies worldwide and the cover, fun fact, 0:13:43.640 --> 0:13:46.200 had a cricket bat on it. I did not know 0:13:46.240 --> 0:13:48.880 that until I heard about it this morning, so I 0:13:48.920 --> 0:13:50.319 went and had a look at it. Sure enough, there's 0:13:50.400 --> 0:13:52.959 Jack White sitting on a cricket bat on a thing 0:13:53.200 --> 0:13:57.320 holding a cricket bat. John Baker was a Kiwi bloke. 0:13:57.360 --> 0:13:59.840 He was the tour manager for the White Stripes and 0:13:59.840 --> 0:14:02.200 he'd been playing beach cricket during the summer holidays as 0:14:02.240 --> 0:14:06.080 everyone's about too with the acc bice with one of 0:14:06.080 --> 0:14:08.240 his cousins, and then he ended up taking the bat. 0:14:08.280 --> 0:14:10.800 It was a kooka burrough I think it was kooka 0:14:10.840 --> 0:14:11.959 borrough Fisher or something. 0:14:12.400 --> 0:14:14.839 This in two thousand and three, remember, he. 0:14:14.800 --> 0:14:18.520 Took the bat with him back to Detroit, but ended 0:14:18.559 --> 0:14:22.560 up with him in the studio with Jack White. Jack 0:14:22.600 --> 0:14:24.240 White found the bat and put it on the cover 0:14:24.280 --> 0:14:26.320 of the album to symbolize an elephant tusk. The way 0:14:26.320 --> 0:14:28.000 he's sitting, he's holding it and it looks like an 0:14:28.000 --> 0:14:28.680 elephant tusk. 0:14:28.800 --> 0:14:29.160 Yeah. 0:14:29.280 --> 0:14:32.720 The cousin that John Baker was playing with was none 0:14:32.720 --> 0:14:34.600 other than Kane Williamson. 0:14:35.240 --> 0:14:35.520 Caine. 0:14:35.520 --> 0:14:38.720 Williamson's bat is on the cover of the White Stripe's 0:14:38.880 --> 0:14:41.640 most successful album, Elephant. 0:14:41.680 --> 0:14:46.440 That is the most bizarre kind of degrees of separation. 0:14:47.160 --> 0:14:49.480 It's like, when we first heard about it, we were like, 0:14:50.000 --> 0:14:53.120 that's not true that it wasn't on Kan Williamson's Bat 0:14:53.160 --> 0:14:54.920 wouldn't have been on there. First of all, two thousand and three, 0:14:55.000 --> 0:14:57.320 how old would Caane Williamson had been about ten twelve? 0:14:57.560 --> 0:14:58.920 Yeah, he was very young. 0:14:59.040 --> 0:15:02.680 Yeah, And so yeah, it turns out there's a Kiwi connection. 0:15:02.800 --> 0:15:05.400 The tour manager back in the day, John Baker, he 0:15:05.520 --> 0:15:07.520 had it. He just happened to leave it in the studio. 0:15:07.600 --> 0:15:09.080 It ends up on the cover of one of the 0:15:09.080 --> 0:15:11.360 most successful rock albums of all time, and it is 0:15:11.440 --> 0:15:12.720 Kane Williamson's bat. 0:15:13.320 --> 0:15:15.280 How's that for a bit of trivia. That's a great 0:15:15.280 --> 0:15:18.600 pub fact. Yes, it's a great pub fact to just 0:15:18.680 --> 0:15:20.680 blow you and then everyone will get on their phones. 0:15:21.040 --> 0:15:23.000 But no, it's not. Yeah, that's exactly what we did 0:15:23.080 --> 0:15:23.760 this morning. 0:15:23.560 --> 0:15:25.360 Something fucking kids do to me at home. I get 0:15:25.400 --> 0:15:27.720 fact check every time, and most of my facts are 0:15:27.720 --> 0:15:33.920 completely made up. Yeah, hey, Siri, I'm like, fuck Surry. Yeah, yeah, 0:15:34.560 --> 0:15:36.520 but that one will check out. That one will check out, 0:15:36.560 --> 0:15:38.160 because that's exactly what we did this morning. 0:15:38.200 --> 0:15:41.080 We heard this. It may or may not pop up 0:15:41.120 --> 0:15:42.920 in a promotion we're running across. 0:15:42.760 --> 0:15:44.760 Summer that fact. So you got you got to hit start. 0:15:44.840 --> 0:15:46.320 You've got a hit start now if you've listened to 0:15:46.400 --> 0:15:48.640 this podcast. So we were checking through that and then 0:15:48.640 --> 0:15:52.160 we saw this fact. We look, it wasn't on. It 0:15:52.200 --> 0:15:55.240 was never Cain. When Cain Williamson's bat have been on 0:15:55.280 --> 0:15:58.960 a fucking album cover? Sure enough Elephant two thousand and three, 0:15:59.000 --> 0:16:01.840 four million copies. Kane Williamson's bat is the tusk and 0:16:01.880 --> 0:16:05.480 the elephant ridiculous. Speaking of Kan Williamson and that, for 0:16:05.520 --> 0:16:07.280 those of you young broadcasters out there, is known as 0:16:07.280 --> 0:16:11.040 a segway. He has been interviewed off the back of 0:16:11.600 --> 0:16:15.120 Tim Southey's announcement that he's going to retire, and Kane 0:16:15.120 --> 0:16:17.280 Williamson said, yeah, look, I'm probably closer to the end 0:16:17.320 --> 0:16:18.920 of my career than to the start. 0:16:18.840 --> 0:16:20.000 He was about four years ago. 0:16:20.120 --> 0:16:23.320 Yes, that's right, he is getting he is getting older. 0:16:23.840 --> 0:16:25.960 But when I just wanted to jump away ahead of 0:16:26.000 --> 0:16:30.160 ourselves here, when he does retire, where does he is 0:16:30.240 --> 0:16:32.920 he on the Mount rushmore of batsman? 0:16:33.840 --> 0:16:38.360 He is New Zealand's best batsman statistically he is, so 0:16:38.640 --> 0:16:40.600 he will he would be the first head carved. I 0:16:40.640 --> 0:16:42.000 know that everyone's got a bit of white on for 0:16:42.040 --> 0:16:44.720 Martin Crow and yes, yes, potentially if Martin Crow played 0:16:44.720 --> 0:16:46.840 as much to his cricket as can Williamson, I'm sure. 0:16:47.240 --> 0:16:49.360 But he is the first head you carve. 0:16:49.960 --> 0:16:53.640 When you carve the other So he's in there? 0:16:54.560 --> 0:16:55.280 Are you putting Martin? 0:16:55.600 --> 0:16:57.320 And Martin craw has to be in there? I think 0:16:57.840 --> 0:16:58.880 Ross Taylor. 0:16:59.520 --> 0:17:01.120 Ross Taylor has to be in there because when you 0:17:01.120 --> 0:17:04.360 look up the total amount of international runs, he's right 0:17:04.359 --> 0:17:06.840 at the top there. Yeah, it's goored more than anyone else. 0:17:07.280 --> 0:17:10.359 Then it gets a bit squirrely. I think does Stephen 0:17:10.400 --> 0:17:12.520 Fleming go in there in the fourth spot? 0:17:12.520 --> 0:17:14.439 I think you've got to look, there's going to be 0:17:14.480 --> 0:17:16.080 some people that are going to look back into the 0:17:16.119 --> 0:17:20.320 kind of fifties and sixties kind of and say that, look, 0:17:20.400 --> 0:17:23.200 these players over just as talented, just didn't have the opportunities, 0:17:23.200 --> 0:17:26.400 whereas this current generation plays so much. We're compared to them, 0:17:26.480 --> 0:17:29.320 not as much as England in Australian India pay a 0:17:29.359 --> 0:17:33.840 lot more. So they'll be like, I'm trying to think 0:17:33.840 --> 0:17:37.560 of some old school, some old school the people are going, 0:17:37.680 --> 0:17:39.920 you can't forget this guy and this guy. But in 0:17:40.000 --> 0:17:44.600 my head and in my experience and my heart goes, 0:17:45.119 --> 0:17:55.680 it goes Williamson, Taylor Crow and then got no, No, 0:17:55.960 --> 0:17:57.680 I mean, look, oh shit, are we doing all formats? 0:17:57.720 --> 0:18:00.680 I was just thinking tests. I was just thinking tests. 0:18:00.760 --> 0:18:02.960 If we just go tests, then yeah. 0:18:02.800 --> 0:18:08.600 Yeah, okay, and then I'm probably I'm probably putting I'm 0:18:08.600 --> 0:18:11.639 probably putting Fleming in there. Yes, I mean his Cricket 0:18:11.640 --> 0:18:14.480 Bears was great, but I you know, three hundred. But 0:18:14.560 --> 0:18:18.840
