Yeah, yeah, 0:01:09.440 --> 0:01:11.760 remember I never did anything good enough to warrant, Oh fuck, 0:01:11.800 --> 0:01:12.400 I'll do that again. 0:01:12.480 --> 0:01:14.319 Yeah, that's exactly what it was for me. It was 0:01:14.360 --> 0:01:16.000 like I was so shit that it didn't met like 0:01:16.080 --> 0:01:18.520 there was no pattern that emerged because I shit every time, 0:01:18.560 --> 0:01:20.880 no matter what happened before I played the game. So 0:01:20.920 --> 0:01:22.920 I was like, well, there's no like I. 0:01:23.880 --> 0:01:25.720 Had some rituals when I used to bat. I used 0:01:25.760 --> 0:01:27.920 to just say, watch the ball, watch the ball, watch 0:01:27.959 --> 0:01:30.760 the ball. Yeah, when I used to bat, but that 0:01:30.920 --> 0:01:31.520 was about it. 0:01:32.280 --> 0:01:32.880 Watched the ball. 0:01:32.959 --> 0:01:35.040 Yeah, I do that on the golf course now. I 0:01:35.640 --> 0:01:39.640 was talking to Wells earlier and I was finally after 0:01:39.760 --> 0:01:43.319 forty years, not to hit the ball too hard. It's 0:01:43.319 --> 0:01:45.600 not about hitting it hard. And it's also a channel 0:01:46.080 --> 0:01:49.040 Martin gapdo. I whisper Martin Gapitol, Martin gapdol because you 0:01:49.040 --> 0:01:50.600 know how he plays that straight drive and he. 0:01:50.600 --> 0:01:52.920 Keeps his head it still doesn't look at it. 0:01:53.000 --> 0:01:54.880 Yeah, and that's what I do. And I play golf now. 0:01:54.920 --> 0:01:56.640 I don't even look where the ball goes until the 0:01:56.720 --> 0:01:59.160 very last minute and just keep my head. So that's 0:01:59.160 --> 0:02:01.120 one of my sure not really a superstition. 0:02:01.200 --> 0:02:03.920 Martin Gaps, Martin Gaps, Martin gap and it's helped. 0:02:04.440 --> 0:02:06.400 Yeah, and then then I get Laura McGoldrick into my 0:02:06.440 --> 0:02:10.320 head and then it all goes wayward. Laura, Laura, Lassie 0:02:10.360 --> 0:02:12.560 mcgazz is and oh god, I spray it. 0:02:13.720 --> 0:02:18.040 We'll shout out to Laura mc McGoldrick and uh. 0:02:19.840 --> 0:02:22.160 Lasione magazzas are you because last night deboo the show 0:02:22.200 --> 0:02:23.119 debut last night. 0:02:23.200 --> 0:02:25.000 I want a shout out to the millions of new 0:02:25.040 --> 0:02:26.520 listeners to this podcast. 0:02:26.560 --> 0:02:29.320 Now after that, yeah, they get a host of the 0:02:29.440 --> 0:02:30.280 Gender podcast. 0:02:30.320 --> 0:02:32.920 But nice Stewart. Yeah, it was a huge plug. Yeah, 0:02:33.240 --> 0:02:34.959 there was a There was supposed to be a huge 0:02:34.960 --> 0:02:37.240 plug for Brodie Kayane's book as well, but I stepped 0:02:37.240 --> 0:02:38.000 all over that, right. 0:02:38.919 --> 0:02:42.600 The Girls Uninterrupted is that the book Women Uninterrupted? Because 0:02:42.639 --> 0:02:44.440 the podcast called Girls Uninterrupted. 0:02:44.480 --> 0:02:46.880 I don't know, I've never listened to it, but I 0:02:47.360 --> 0:02:49.760 for you. I had to apologize to her straight off 0:02:49.760 --> 0:02:52.080 the bat, and then man explained to her that I 0:02:52.120 --> 0:02:55.480 was very sorry for what I did. But you first 0:02:55.480 --> 0:02:59.639 episode in the can and we won quite convincingly twenty 0:02:59.639 --> 0:03:02.600 three once to twenty in the end. And you know, 0:03:02.800 --> 0:03:05.640 some people have said maybe some of the people that 0:03:05.960 --> 0:03:08.000 play were on the show. You know, it doesn't really 0:03:08.040 --> 0:03:10.320 matter what the score is, it's about everyone having fun 0:03:10.360 --> 0:03:13.000 and making an entertaining TV show And Torch I say 0:03:13.040 --> 0:03:13.400 fuck that. 0:03:13.560 --> 0:03:15.320 On the one Yeah, and Joe Wheeler came on the 0:03:15.360 --> 0:03:17.919 Heiderckey Breakfast some one. He was fucking spewing. He was 0:03:17.960 --> 0:03:20.639 spewing about that question from Lee Hart of who has 0:03:20.840 --> 0:03:23.280 held their shield for the long ramfi shield for the 0:03:23.320 --> 0:03:26.320 longest time? Yeah, and he said Auckland, which I think 0:03:26.360 --> 0:03:28.000 most of the country would have said. But it was 0:03:28.000 --> 0:03:30.639 a trick question because it was Southland during World War Two. 0:03:30.919 --> 0:03:33.280 They held it for a longer period in terms of 0:03:33.520 --> 0:03:36.800 years because there was no NBC during that period, so 0:03:36.840 --> 0:03:38.080 it was a bit of a trick question. But he 0:03:38.120 --> 0:03:39.240 was fucking spewing about that. 0:03:39.360 --> 0:03:42.960 It was yeah, I know, because it's challenges versus years, 0:03:42.960 --> 0:03:44.400 you know what I mean. How many times did they 0:03:44.440 --> 0:03:45.400 defend it over that time? 0:03:45.920 --> 0:03:49.839 Zero? Yeah, they had it in the cupboard for seven years. 0:03:50.600 --> 0:03:52.760 But he was spewing about that because it's obviously damage's 0:03:52.760 --> 0:03:56.000 credibility because he's obviously part of the Sky Rugby set up. 0:03:56.120 --> 0:03:58.760 Well he was, but I don't know. I'm sure his 0:03:58.840 --> 0:04:01.040 contracts under review now he's going to be you know, 0:04:01.040 --> 0:04:02.280 if they're going to be paying him to be a 0:04:02.360 --> 0:04:04.640 rugby expert. He don't even know where the shield is 0:04:04.680 --> 0:04:07.080 at the moment, you know, that could cause some isshes, 0:04:07.440 --> 0:04:10.160 I think undeniably. I think everyone would agree with me 0:04:10.320 --> 0:04:12.600 that the star of the show could only have been 0:04:12.640 --> 0:04:15.360 one thing, and it was MICHAELA. Blyede's guns. The python's 0:04:15.520 --> 0:04:20.400 her arms are out of control and like she's quite 0:04:20.400 --> 0:04:22.279 a small person. She come over and sat next to 0:04:22.320 --> 0:04:25.560 me after the show was finished taping, and she put 0:04:25.560 --> 0:04:27.200 her next to mine, and I was trying to do 0:04:27.240 --> 0:04:27.839 the old you know, and. 0:04:27.880 --> 0:04:29.599 You put your hand underneath your bicyep. 0:04:29.720 --> 0:04:31.520 Yeah, put your hand underneath your bicep. I was also 0:04:31.560 --> 0:04:33.359 in a shirt and a blazer and I was just 0:04:33.360 --> 0:04:35.640 trying to make it. Could not make it bigger than 0:04:35.800 --> 0:04:36.440 the next episode. 0:04:36.440 --> 0:04:39.919 Can you armory? I think I think if it's a drawer, 0:04:40.120 --> 0:04:42.359 like if it's ever a drawer and she's on the 0:04:42.360 --> 0:04:43.839 opposing team, I think. 0:04:43.680 --> 0:04:45.400 You should throw to an army resort. 0:04:45.480 --> 0:04:48.480 In what you get humiliated on national television. 0:04:48.120 --> 0:04:50.960 I think, did Windle Sailor break your guys arm on 0:04:51.000 --> 0:04:53.640 a on the Footy Show on one Time? Yeah, they 0:04:53.680 --> 0:04:56.039 did that. They did an armorysole and the guys. I 0:04:56.040 --> 0:04:58.520 think it was like as humorous. 0:04:58.160 --> 0:04:59.200 Or anything for ratings. 0:04:59.200 --> 0:05:03.520 Mate, that is exactly what would happen to me if 0:05:03.560 --> 0:05:05.760 I did that at the end of the thing. I 0:05:05.760 --> 0:05:07.640 think you saw it briefly on the show last night, 0:05:07.680 --> 0:05:10.080 but I Chris went over and stole Michayla's middle and 0:05:10.120 --> 0:05:12.719 gave it to me when our team won. The look 0:05:12.839 --> 0:05:15.159 she gave me haunts me. I welcome in a fucking 0:05:15.200 --> 0:05:18.520 cold sweet last night thinking about that, it was terrifying. 0:05:18.839 --> 0:05:21.400 Now well done. It was good, good first half episode 0:05:21.760 --> 0:05:23.640 for Game of two halves. It's a great it's a 0:05:23.640 --> 0:05:26.800 great concept. I'm just I'm glad that a sports kind 0:05:26.800 --> 0:05:29.240 of show is back on TV because there's nothing really 0:05:29.400 --> 0:05:32.040 apart from the Breakdown. Is the only sports show on 0:05:32.520 --> 0:05:33.599 really every week? 0:05:34.200 --> 0:05:37.400 Yeah, I mean crowd goes wild, but oh yeah, yeah 0:05:37.480 --> 0:05:38.640 that's the sort of news. 0:05:38.960 --> 0:05:40.479 Yeah, it's yeah, news adjacent. 0:05:40.720 --> 0:05:44.440 You're right, And it's been the same feedback from every person. 0:05:44.560 --> 0:05:45.880 It was the same thing that I thought it was 0:05:45.920 --> 0:05:48.640 going to be with the fuck s, Mark Allison. 0:05:48.320 --> 0:05:51.920 Matt Rechie Fridge is coming off the glass Barbie and 0:05:53.360 --> 0:05:54.640 make Allis has got better things to do. 0:05:54.920 --> 0:05:57.000 Yeah, he's on the old Sports Cafel though apparently walked 0:05:57.040 --> 0:05:59.120 out on that one as well. So anyway, yeah, that 0:05:59.160 --> 0:06:00.720 started last night. I'm sure you could find it if 0:06:00.760 --> 0:06:03.960 you went looking on Sky Sport. Did you see Black 0:06:04.000 --> 0:06:06.400 fans are over and they're over in England. They're playing 0:06:06.520 --> 0:06:09.839 at Twickenham this weekend, which they showed on the news 0:06:09.920 --> 0:06:12.520 last night like a drone shot of Twickenham empty. 0:06:12.720 --> 0:06:12.880 Fuck. 0:06:12.920 --> 0:06:14.120 It's an impressive building. 0:06:14.560 --> 0:06:17.080 It's awesome, it's a great but again it just proves 0:06:17.279 --> 0:06:21.000 a purpose built oval ball stadium because there is not 0:06:21.040 --> 0:06:23.000 a bad seat in that place, and it's so steep 0:06:23.400 --> 0:06:26.040 and it's sunk down and it's just built for rugby. 0:06:26.200 --> 0:06:28.960 It creates a fucking amazing atmosphere. We were there for 0:06:29.000 --> 0:06:32.479 the final one twenty fifteen. We had seats right at 0:06:32.520 --> 0:06:35.080 the back where our backs were against the wall and 0:06:35.200 --> 0:06:37.320 you still felt like you were in the game really 0:06:37.920 --> 0:06:40.360 because of the structure of the stadium. But big game 0:06:40.440 --> 0:06:43.599 for them, like huge game against England who are pretty 0:06:43.800 --> 0:06:44.400 pretty strong. 0:06:44.560 --> 0:06:47.040 Well it's World champs versus world number one at the moment, 0:06:47.160 --> 0:06:49.440 and a rematch of the Grand Final from the World Cup. 0:06:49.920 --> 0:06:51.400 But they got to meet the King the other day. 0:06:51.600 --> 0:06:54.839 I just see that yeah, they hugged it out. Only 0:06:55.279 --> 0:06:57.039 the black fans can get away with that kind of shit. 0:06:57.200 --> 0:06:59.880 Yeah you know what I mean, Like, can you imagine 0:06:59.920 --> 0:07:01.359 you all blacks hugging it out with Lizzie? 0:07:01.640 --> 0:07:02.960 They would have got shot, they would have. 0:07:03.120 --> 0:07:09.280 Yeah, but they're just so lovable and cheeky, yeah that 0:07:09.400 --> 0:07:11.160 they just like, can we hug it out?

And what he didn't realize 0:07:23.200 --> 0:07:25.200 is fifteen of them, we're gonna we're just going to 0:07:25.320 --> 0:07:28.160 swarm him and his chubby little hands. What do you 0:07:28.240 --> 0:07:30.480 think he's done with the Jews? So they presented him 0:07:30.480 --> 0:07:33.240 with a signed black fan's jersey.

The challenge 0:08:06.200 --> 0:08:08.400 was laid down by someone like Richard Lowe or something 0:08:08.440 --> 0:08:10.720 to pinch something from the from the bucking and Palace 0:08:10.720 --> 0:08:13.160 when they went to meet the queen.

Hey. 0:08:50.920 --> 0:08:55.120 I was scrolling my conspiracy theory threads this morning, as 0:08:55.160 --> 0:08:57.360 I do every morning, and I came across a post 0:08:57.440 --> 0:08:59.199 in the New Zealand thread saying that there was a 0:08:59.200 --> 0:09:02.120 bloke hood shot up to work and he was desperately hungover, 0:09:02.440 --> 0:09:04.959 but he had quite an important business meeting with Linda 0:09:05.040 --> 0:09:07.120 later on that morning, and he was like, what are 0:09:07.280 --> 0:09:09.640 your hangover cures at work? So you've gone out the 0:09:09.720 --> 0:09:11.599 night before, you're at work, you haven't done anything to 0:09:12.480 --> 0:09:15.800 quell the hangover in anyway, what do you do? As 0:09:15.840 --> 0:09:18.440 a veteran of many working overs, I thought i'd present. 0:09:18.280 --> 0:09:21.040 This ye Firstly, firstly, you've got to get rid of 0:09:21.080 --> 0:09:24.000 the smell. I think you can get through any meeting unprepared. 0:09:24.480 --> 0:09:26.800 But if you turn up thinking a purse yeah and 0:09:26.960 --> 0:09:28.560 siggi's that's an a shoe. 0:09:28.800 --> 0:09:28.839 Like. 0:09:29.000 --> 0:09:30.640 I think if you turn up and you just look 0:09:30.679 --> 0:09:32.319 a bit tired, and you could say, oh baby, you 0:09:32.320 --> 0:09:34.920 didn't sleep last night or yeah, you can make up 0:09:34.960 --> 0:09:36.719 some sort of shit about what you're tired. You know, 0:09:36.760 --> 0:09:38.160 I had a bit of a big night last night. 0:09:38.160 --> 0:09:39.959 People will accept that to a degree. Yeah, but you 0:09:40.080 --> 0:09:41.000 just can't come in. 0:09:41.320 --> 0:09:41.760 You've got to. 0:09:42.320 --> 0:09:44.440 I've got a bottle of clear eyes in my drawer. 0:09:45.080 --> 0:09:48.200 Whack those in, get on some mint, brush your teeth, 0:09:48.280 --> 0:09:52.360 brush your hair, just make sure you present. Yes, okay, 0:09:52.800 --> 0:09:54.400 as long as you present, Okay, you can um and 0:09:54.440 --> 0:09:56.640 ah through the meeting and say we'll circle back on that. 0:09:57.280 --> 0:10:00.600 Drop some cliches, you'll take it offline. I'll flick ideas 0:10:00.600 --> 0:10:03.280 on Monday, like, just kick everything, kick everything to the 0:10:03.360 --> 0:10:06.240 next day. But just don't give away the fact that 0:10:06.360 --> 0:10:08.520 you fucking stink about to vomit. 0:10:09.000 --> 0:10:11.440 I think so, particularly if you've got an inside job, 0:10:11.440 --> 0:10:13.360 if you get an office job of some sort. I've 0:10:13.360 --> 0:10:15.240 been saying this for a while, and now just dress 0:10:15.280 --> 0:10:16.959 well and shut the fuck up, and that's how you'll 0:10:17.000 --> 0:10:19.000 get through your day because people will see you and 0:10:19.080 --> 0:10:20.880 be like, I thought he was wasted last night. He 0:10:20.920 --> 0:10:24.280 looks all right. Meanwhile, you're dying absolutely, but outwardly you 0:10:24.400 --> 0:10:26.760 look okay. So put your nicest shirt on. 0:10:27.400 --> 0:10:30.120 It's all superficial yeah, just got to give that exterior 0:10:31.440 --> 0:10:33.599 vision that you are okay. Yeah, and just try and 0:10:33.720 --> 0:10:35.080 hide the demons inside. 0:10:35.160 --> 0:10:37.200 Yeah, that's right. It's a very good point you make 0:10:37.200 --> 0:10:39.600 about the smell. I think if you've got a physical job, 0:10:40.080 --> 0:10:42.200 and like I always say, do your hangovers on the clock, 0:10:42.600 --> 0:10:44.520 get paid to be hungover. Never take a day off 0:10:44.559 --> 0:10:46.760 because you're hungover. You can always get through it. If 0:10:46.760 --> 0:10:49.320 you have a physical job. By the time smoko rolls around, 0:10:49.360 --> 0:10:51.400 you're right. Yeah, you're sweet. You've got a bunch of 0:10:51.440 --> 0:10:53.520 water and you've sweated it out. You're okay. And if 0:10:53.559 --> 0:10:56.719 you've got an office job, just have another coffee and 0:10:56.880 --> 0:10:57.559 keep your head down. 0:10:57.640 --> 0:10:59.800 And if you're a surgeon, tell the doll if you're 0:10:59.800 --> 0:11:04.440 a yea, yeah, obviously, if your job actually matters, if 0:11:04.520 --> 0:11:07.480 your job actually involves saving lives, and you had people's 0:11:07.760 --> 0:11:09.600 lives in your hands, and maybe just take the day off. 0:11:09.679 --> 0:11:11.719 That's right, because if the p as well like polky. 0:11:13.559 --> 0:11:16.720 As a rule, Yeah, when you no one's come forward 0:11:16.760 --> 0:11:18.800 saying their eyes are or doing it because of polky? 0:11:19.679 --> 0:11:19.960 Are they? 0:11:20.400 --> 0:11:22.080 I thought they'd be coming out of the woodwork saying 0:11:22.120 --> 0:11:24.480 polky in my eyes And I'm there. I mean cross 0:11:24.480 --> 0:11:26.920 ioad ever since. But there Everyone's like, no, mate, well 0:11:26.960 --> 0:11:28.440 he had to pay for the hookers somehow, that's why 0:11:28.480 --> 0:11:29.600 he was working twenty four seventh. 0:11:29.600 --> 0:11:31.520 That's right. Well, they probably just haven't seen the story. 0:11:31.720 --> 0:11:37.400 The people. Oh they may have heard the podcast. You 0:11:37.440 --> 0:11:39.959 get your podcasts, all right, we're away off under the 0:11:40.000 --> 0:11:41.719 words sorry. If there's the first time you listen to 0:11:41.800 --> 0:11:44.360 this podcast, this is usually what it's like. Yeah, we're 0:11:44.360 --> 0:11:46.480 going to take a break. We'll come back and maybe 0:11:46.559 --> 0:11:52.440 talk about some sport. I don't know the black Caps laying. 0:11:52.480 --> 0:11:54.319 Can I get an update on how the Test match 0:11:54.360 --> 0:11:56.160 against Afghanistan's going well? 0:11:57.000 --> 0:11:59.760 The fourth day was wash out obviously, But watching the 0:11:59.800 --> 0:12:02.719 curve yesterday across to this poor irishman who's been put 0:12:02.760 --> 0:12:06.040 in charge of the coverage by Lefgan Cricket Board, that's right, 0:12:06.160 --> 0:12:09.480 and he had an umbrella, a comedy size beach umbrella 0:12:09.679 --> 0:12:12.800 over his head. It was pissing down the background. He's like, sorry, 0:12:13.360 --> 0:12:16.920 no good news here. The day's been abandoned already. We'll 0:12:16.960 --> 0:12:19.240 be back tomorrow. I don't know why, because it's going 0:12:19.320 --> 0:12:21.959 to be exactly the same as it is today. Not 0:12:22.120 --> 0:12:25.600 good news won't be good news tomorrow. This Test match 0:12:25.760 --> 0:12:26.800 is over. 0:12:26.880 --> 0:12:29.079 It's over. So it was so refreshing to hear that 0:12:29.160 --> 0:12:31.719 because we're usually the only commentary team that does that 0:12:31.960 --> 0:12:34.240 correct that shuts shit down early because we're like, there's 0:12:34.280 --> 0:12:36.400 no fucking way. Yeah, they got dudes out here with 0:12:36.520 --> 0:12:39.280 extension cords and fucking pedestal fans. 0:12:39.360 --> 0:12:41.000 It rained all day yesterday. It's not going to be on. 0:12:41.640 --> 0:12:44.480 It has had no chance to dry. It's not happening. 0:12:44.600 --> 0:12:46.839 It's abandoned. It's going to be the ninth ever Test 0:12:46.920 --> 0:12:49.160 match to be abandoned without a ball bowled. I saw 0:12:49.280 --> 0:12:51.280 that New Zealand has a good record there. Dunedin have 0:12:51.360 --> 0:12:54.199 got two of those, yes, the most recent and ninety eight. 0:12:54.400 --> 0:12:58.400 Yeah, the Rainah and on the same day another one 0:12:58.520 --> 0:13:04.320 in feisler Bad got binned because of fog or smog pollution, pollution. 0:13:04.760 --> 0:13:06.520 It was that bad that they couldn't see from one 0:13:06.640 --> 0:13:08.640 end of the pitch to the other. Shout out to 0:13:08.679 --> 0:13:10.920 that guy for using that umbrella, because as we know, 0:13:11.160 --> 0:13:13.760 those umbrellas are for shade and not for raine. 0:13:13.840 --> 0:13:14.160 Correct. 0:13:14.360 --> 0:13:17.200 Because when we took the caravan down to the Black 0:13:17.240 --> 0:13:20.559 Clash at the start of the year, we didn't do 0:13:20.640 --> 0:13:23.360 the hatch on top of the roof down properly. That disappeared, 0:13:23.720 --> 0:13:26.080 ripped off and then it was piersing down with rain. 0:13:26.160 --> 0:13:27.920 But we had to leave it outside and so we 0:13:28.080 --> 0:13:31.440 put put up this export umbrella that I think we'd 0:13:31.520 --> 0:13:34.280 nicked from some beer garden somewhere. Put that through the 0:13:34.360 --> 0:13:35.560 hole and then put it up. 0:13:35.840 --> 0:13:38.160 It was genius. We thought we thought we were the 0:13:38.600 --> 0:13:40.840 you know, fucking cracked it. When it covered the whole 0:13:40.920 --> 0:13:43.199 roof like that, I know what is going to get in. 0:13:43.480 --> 0:13:45.160 Little did we know that this was just fabric and 0:13:45.240 --> 0:13:47.360 it wasn't waterproof. It was just for shade. 0:13:47.400 --> 0:13:50.000 And what it did is the pole acted as basically 0:13:50.000 --> 0:13:52.840 a drain pipe and we opened the door of the caravan, 0:13:53.000 --> 0:13:54.440 water came out ankle deep. 0:13:54.679 --> 0:13:58.320 Yep. It has since been boarded down. Yes, the hatches 0:13:59.520 --> 0:14:02.480 batten down. It really seals in the flavor in there. 0:14:03.640 --> 0:14:05.480 So yeah, this game is going to Benn with that 0:14:05.559 --> 0:14:07.160 a ball bolt. I don't think anyone really cares. 0:14:07.679 --> 0:14:10.959 No, I don't think around kids, but I think preparation wise, 0:14:11.000 --> 0:14:13.520 I think the New Zealand team this test doesn't count 0:14:13.520 --> 0:14:15.280 to World Test Championship. It was just a one off 0:14:15.280 --> 0:14:19.520 against Afghanistan. The next tests against India and Sri Lanka 0:14:19.680 --> 0:14:22.040 do count for the World Test Championship. We have to 0:14:22.120 --> 0:14:24.280 win five or something, or we have to win a 0:14:24.320 --> 0:14:26.400 majority of them. To be still in contention, we. 0:14:26.440 --> 0:14:27.840 Have to win an unwinnable amount. 0:14:27.960 --> 0:14:31.000 Yeah, but this would have been good preparation regardless, regardless 0:14:31.040 --> 0:14:33.320 of the result. So they've played no cricket, they've just 0:14:33.720 --> 0:14:35.920 had indoor nets. So that's going to be a bit 0:14:36.000 --> 0:14:38.920 of a bummer playing India in India and then Sri 0:14:39.000 --> 0:14:41.720 Lanka and Sri Lanka. So it's probably the only downside. 0:14:41.760 --> 0:14:43.400 And by the way India have been using the other 0:14:43.480 --> 0:14:45.960 grounds around the country that are good to go, that 0:14:46.040 --> 0:14:47.920 are good to go, and then send us down here. 0:14:48.120 --> 0:14:49.720 I think it's Sri Lanka first and then we go 0:14:49.840 --> 0:14:50.560 back for India. 0:14:50.680 --> 0:14:54.480 That's my understanding. But again a bit of sports podcast 0:14:54.520 --> 0:14:57.280 would know that. So that's cricket. That's what's going on 0:14:57.320 --> 0:14:58.800 in the cricket world. There is no cricket. 0:14:58.960 --> 0:15:02.400 Yeah, we've got England anging Australia. Two twenties are going 0:15:02.480 --> 0:15:04.840 on at the moment. I think we'll talk about them 0:15:04.880 --> 0:15:07.760 a little bit in the sports book come out after this, 0:15:07.920 --> 0:15:10.480 but that's that's always little that's kind of a bit spicy, Yeah, 0:15:10.680 --> 0:15:11.160 if you're But. 0:15:11.160 --> 0:15:13.000 As far as the black cast, I just feel, you know, 0:15:13.120 --> 0:15:15.880 I feel like we're the real victims here because we 0:15:16.200 --> 0:15:19.640 have come out and taken quite a vocal stance against 0:15:19.680 --> 0:15:24.320 the Taliban, and had we known that the game wasn't 0:15:24.360 --> 0:15:26.840 going to go ahead anyway, we probably didn't need to 0:15:26.920 --> 0:15:28.440 draw the higher of the Taliban. 0:15:28.560 --> 0:15:30.880 Now we didn't, and we probably could have just gone yeah, we. 0:15:30.920 --> 0:15:33.280 Probably could have said nothing about it. Instead we showed 0:15:33.320 --> 0:15:36.200 our hand, and you know we're now in witness protections. 0:15:36.240 --> 0:15:38.560 Why we're in a different studio, Let's be honest, it's 0:15:38.560 --> 0:15:40.400 because the Taliban have come looking for us and our. 0:15:40.320 --> 0:15:42.640 Old ones cricket fans are apparently the Taliban. They love 0:15:42.680 --> 0:15:48.000 it apparently, dudes. Yeah, yeah, you're right, but they do 0:15:48.160 --> 0:15:50.840 run a good program over there for the dudes. David Yuka, 0:15:50.960 --> 0:15:52.960 he is fighting tomorrow and we are going to go 0:15:53.000 --> 0:15:53.920 and watch it. Here. 0:15:53.920 --> 0:15:57.160 We are great life punting opportunity and I don't know 0:15:57.200 --> 0:16:01.000 if you're familiar with punting on combat sports events, No, 0:16:01.560 --> 0:16:03.680 this will be my debut. Well, you're gonna love it. 0:16:03.800 --> 0:16:06.520 It's great because what happens is there are I think 0:16:06.560 --> 0:16:09.480 there are six or seven fights on this card, and 0:16:09.600 --> 0:16:11.880 you just get to go and go and go. It's 0:16:11.960 --> 0:16:13.920 like going to the races. So they keep on coming, 0:16:13.960 --> 0:16:16.040 they keep on coming. These two dudes come out, you 0:16:16.160 --> 0:16:18.440 either win or lose, reinvest, you're back on for the 0:16:18.520 --> 0:16:18.880 next one. 0:16:19.160 --> 0:16:21.520 Can you peck what round it finishes and stuff like that. 0:16:21.720 --> 0:16:25.800 Yeah, Judge's decisions, but decisions all that kind of stuff. 0:16:25.800 --> 0:16:29.920 We've got four heavyweight boxing bouts on that card. Yes, 0:16:30.280 --> 0:16:33.760 so knockouts galore. Yeah, you could probably just go knock 0:16:33.800 --> 0:16:36.840 out in every fight and you might come out even 0:16:38.320 --> 0:16:40.080 I'm looking forward to it, and again I do my 0:16:40.160 --> 0:16:43.080 best work at the track. Yeah. I like to like 0:16:43.120 --> 0:16:45.080 to get the gauge of a man my horse. 0:16:45.280 --> 0:16:48.120 My only issue with is the runway we've got before 0:16:48.160 --> 0:16:49.840
