Speaker 1: Life for the Export Beer Garden Studio and brought to you,
Speaker 1: as always by Export Ultra the beer for here. This
Speaker 1: is the Agenda Podcast for Tuesday, the seventeenth of September.
Speaker 2: The Agenda Podcast, the home of Sporting Nonsense and Clap Trap,
Speaker 2: brought to you by Export a Culture.
Speaker 1: And since we've changed the orientation of the studio, I
Speaker 1: no longer have the things that I look at to
Speaker 1: remind myself every day that we're in the Export Beer
Speaker 1: Garden Studios. There's a sign up on the wall there yep,
Speaker 1: and then broad to you as always by Export Ulture.
Speaker 1: There's not only here now.
Speaker 3: Well, so it's behind you, three cans behind you, and
Speaker 3: there's a fridge behind you. It's full of it. Yeah,
Speaker 3: you can't see it. I can't see it. This is
Speaker 3: these are the issues. It's just a very visual focused man.
Speaker 2: I am.
Speaker 1: I'm a visual learner, yeah, yep, and I've had the
Speaker 1: visuals taken away from me, so I'll see. I'll tell
Speaker 1: you what helped me learn a lot last night was
Speaker 1: our dea friend, Sophie Acklin, who has run the numbers
Speaker 1: on the commentators win percentages for the Warriors season on
Speaker 1: the ACC.
Speaker 3: I saw that that is someone who has either got
Speaker 3: insomnia or insane.
Speaker 1: Well, but in her defense against the insanity case charged
Speaker 1: against her by one G Lane, have a go at
Speaker 1: the handwriting.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, it's incredible a school teacher potentially.
Speaker 1: Perhaps also various different colors. A lot of conjecture in
Speaker 1: the office around whether that was one of those bick
Speaker 1: pens that's got multiple different colors on the one pen.
Speaker 3: That reminds me of people who used to turn up
Speaker 3: to club cricket and score for you, and they would
Speaker 3: have a pencil case with the different colors, and each
Speaker 3: batsman had a different color, every bowler had a different color.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: It was like it was people that were there who
Speaker 3: needed to do stuff like that to keep them calm.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel like that's the same.
Speaker 1: Every now and then. You'll still see guys at Black
Speaker 1: Caps games who were scoring well themselves.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, and it's there because their brain needs to
Speaker 3: be doing that kind of stuff.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I don't know what possessed so for you to
Speaker 1: do this. I don't know whether she I'd love to
Speaker 1: hear from her whether she did this. Was this a
Speaker 1: running telly during the season, because I don't know how
Speaker 1: she could have gone back and checked, but anyway, she's
Speaker 1: keep track of who's commentated, what games, and whether we
Speaker 1: won or not. Yeah, there's a full breakdown of the date,
Speaker 1: the round, the game, what commentators are on, and the score,
Speaker 1: and then there's a win percentages column at the bottom
Speaker 1: which is the combos of the combos, which is quite
Speaker 1: interesting to me. So Die Henwood called thirteen games, six wins,
Speaker 1: one draws, six losses, for a win percentage of forty
Speaker 1: six percent. Kezy commentated twelve two wins, ten losses for
Speaker 1: a win percentage of sixteen percent. I commentated twelve three wins,
Speaker 1: nine losses, twenty five percent. Hurley commentated six four wins,
Speaker 1: one draw, one loss for a sixty six percent. Yeah.
Speaker 1: The Pantsman, the Notorious Pantsman Joel Harrison. He commentated two games,
Speaker 1: two wins, no losses, one hundred percent win rate when
Speaker 1: the Pantsman's on.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Look, this is a bit like test wickets and averages.
Speaker 3: I think you've got to do a minimum. You can't
Speaker 3: just come and to one game, win one and have
Speaker 3: one hundred percent record. Because I know Ben Boyce has
Speaker 3: come in with a one hundred percent record. I reckon,
Speaker 3: you've got to call a minimum of like specially with
Speaker 3: Warriors four or five games.
Speaker 1: Now, is that because you called one game that was
Speaker 1: a loss, so you have a zero percent win record.
Speaker 4: My argument there is I cannot remember that game.
Speaker 3: When I saw that posted up, and then I got
Speaker 3: a bit of shit about of course you cursed one game.
Speaker 3: I was like, I fucking commodated a Warriors game. I
Speaker 3: remember commentating the game against Newcastle last year, last year
Speaker 3: when everyone was away, and I can remember that for sure,
Speaker 3: but I just couldn't for the life of me. And
Speaker 3: then I was getting all this ship and I was like,
Speaker 3: and then I came in this morning, I was like,
Speaker 3: did I knew?
Speaker 1: Like, yeah, it was the Melbourne Storm game, and I
Speaker 1: think it was like round two. It's the second game
Speaker 1: of the year, and it was the one where Xavier
Speaker 1: Coach scored that massive try in the corner full the
Speaker 1: upside down. Yes, And I seemed I seem to remember.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I said it or just thought it.
Speaker 1: And I was like, I four season goes to ship.
Speaker 1: I could probably point into this like as the because
Speaker 1: our first game we lost. Then there was that game,
Speaker 1: then there was the draw against Melbourne. Manly and I
Speaker 1: was like Jesus. So anyway, long and short of all
Speaker 1: of that is, there is now a petition circulating social
Speaker 1: media to have Pantsman and Ben Boyce commented every single
Speaker 1: game next year, and to remove Kesy from the alternative
Speaker 1: commentary collective. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I noticed that he posted himself for the love of God,
Speaker 3: get rid of Kezy. It's like about one hundred and
Speaker 3: fifty likes. So like the people have spoken.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it could be the master of his own destiny.
Speaker 1: And the Pantsman came in and said, look, it's probably
Speaker 1: going to be horrible for the ratings, but it's going
Speaker 1: to have to be him and Ben boysnigs year. You're
Speaker 1: a game.
Speaker 4: I'm happy to roll the.
Speaker 3: Dice with maybe Pantsman and die. I think die, and
Speaker 3: I'll throw it at Ben Hurley in.
Speaker 1: There as well. Weary with the sixty six percent it's
Speaker 1: not straight. Yeah, that's powerful. And one of those was
Speaker 1: a draw, so you know that could easily have been
Speaker 1: bumped up to the seventies.
Speaker 3: And also died at thirteen games. Yeah, I mean, here
Speaker 3: was more chances he was going to lose something and
Speaker 3: win some.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, this is the other thing we keep saying
Speaker 1: about all of these stats about the Warriors when loss
Speaker 1: is like, yeah, they lost a lot this year. You know,
Speaker 1: it's not like the correlation between the two is not
Speaker 1: causation because they just lost. So you can't say that, oh,
Speaker 1: this and that happened during the worm. This happened during
Speaker 1: the lost. I don't know. Did you say that we
Speaker 1: didn't talk about it yesterday. Did you say the UFC
Speaker 1: was at the Sphere over the weekend? Yes?
Speaker 3: I did. It looked insane, it looked incredible.
Speaker 1: The Sphere. That has to be our next beer guarden
Speaker 1: to it.
Speaker 4: Yes, just just have beers in the sphere.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the sphere garden to it.
Speaker 3: Speaking of which, we're off to Munich tomorrow. I know
Speaker 3: I've given it no thought. I've not packed anything. I'm
Speaker 3: just kind of going to do it. But tonight I.
Speaker 1: Woke up at three in the morning and started thinking
Speaker 1: about it. Did you I'm one of those people who
Speaker 1: will download like five series of a show onto my
Speaker 1: phone and not watch a second of it. You know,
Speaker 1: I over prepare. I have a lot of entertainment. It's
Speaker 1: more fear for having to sit there and you know,
Speaker 1: just raw dog a whole flot. I just could not
Speaker 1: do it. But then all that happens is you get
Speaker 1: on there, you have a yarn for a bit pound,
Speaker 1: a few beers, you end up watching Lord of the
Speaker 1: Rings or whatever movie's on there, have asleep. You never
Speaker 1: end up using any of the I carried a Nintendo
Speaker 1: Switch around Europe for a week lass last year.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I didn't know you had that.
Speaker 1: I know because I thought I was going to jump
Speaker 1: on the plane and play Mario Kats the whole way
Speaker 1: over there and fucking touch it. I was blacked out
Speaker 1: drunk the whole time.
Speaker 3: So we've got twelve punters coming with us, which are
Speaker 3: going to meet them all at the airport YEP for
Speaker 3: a bier Garden tour, which involves we are what how
Speaker 3: would you say an order in Amsterdam?
Speaker 4: Yes, three days in Amsterdam.
Speaker 3: We were going to go to the Heineken factory and
Speaker 3: hosted by DBEP and Heineken, and.
Speaker 1: Then pop over for three power days in Munich. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that is about as long as you'd want to be there.
Speaker 1: I don't think we're going to see much of Munich.
Speaker 1: We just we're in the tenths at October fist that
Speaker 1: whole time, which is gonna absolutely ruins me. Out.
Speaker 4: It's a good time.
Speaker 3: It is one of the best fits. It's one of
Speaker 3: the best fists. It was your God.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I am excited and not as nervous for Amsterdam
Speaker 1: as I thought I would be hit this close to it.
Speaker 1: I was in Amsterdam for my twenty third birthday and
Speaker 1: that was pretty hectic. We lost an American gentleman who
Speaker 1: almost didn't make it back to the airport after he
Speaker 1: turned on the rest of the crew.
Speaker 3: It tends to happen that was there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, his perception of reality got altered and he
Speaker 1: was like, I have not just been sharing our packers
Speaker 1: for months with a bunch of kivders. That's all bullshit.
Speaker 1: These guys have been trying to trick me. And he
Speaker 1: went rogue and then left us. But I think it's
Speaker 1: gonna be much more children that this time around. And
Speaker 1: I never got to go into the Heineken factory.
Speaker 3: It's good.
Speaker 1: So I'm excited for that. Yep, for that tour and
Speaker 1: just being in the being around the canals.
Speaker 3: Yeah, go to the Van goth Museum maybe, and Frank's house.
Speaker 1: Yeah, read Live District. Yeah, just to check it out,
Speaker 1: of course. Yeah, and have a geese and yeah, I
Speaker 1: am so hold on, I was gonna ask you tomorrow
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna ask you today, what's your what's your
Speaker 1: costume strategy? When you're flying Longhorse with our first flights
Speaker 1: to do by its sixteen hours Leda Hosen.
Speaker 3: I'm wearing Alida Who, and you go on and Prinut
Speaker 3: and hot. I'm going to come and set the standard
Speaker 3: for this tour. Yeah, I'm coming in through customs and
Speaker 3: Alida Hosen.
Speaker 1: Yeah, sixteen hours on a plane yep with a very.
Speaker 3: Thick set leather Leader hosen yep.
Speaker 1: And then another couple of hours do buy, and then
Speaker 1: another like seven hours Leader Who's in flight to and
Speaker 1: then land in Amsterdam, Leader Who, It's been three days
Speaker 1: in Amsterdam. Then another flight, then finally the joke pays
Speaker 1: off when you land in boys.
Speaker 3: Always I'm always a fan of a long long play. Yeah.
Speaker 3: In reality, I may get changed into a paier of track.
Speaker 3: He's on the plane, Yeah, because having when you get
Speaker 3: into your leader hose and it's it can be quite
Speaker 3: tight around the thigh groin area. And I imagine seated
Speaker 3: for sixteen hours, I imagine a timer starts as soon
Speaker 3: as you jump in those things yeah, you got a certain.
Speaker 1: Amount of hours. But no, because the main thing I
Speaker 1: was gonna ask is shoes or not, because I'm I'm
Speaker 1: a big fan of just you can't. You know, people
Speaker 1: say it's gross if the if you've got be a
Speaker 1: feed on the plane or you're just in your socks,
Speaker 1: because your feet will smell. No, no, no, if you'll
Speaker 1: feed it in shoes for sixteen hours, that's when your
Speaker 1: feet will smell. No. But the socks, I'm going socks
Speaker 1: and not be a feet. I'm going socks as stocks.
Speaker 1: I'm taking the birken stocks over the socks test berks. Well,
Speaker 1: Germany's Germany is the home of the birkenstock.
Speaker 3: That's a good idea. I'm going to do that too,
Speaker 3: socks and stock and the leader hoo's in.
Speaker 1: And then the leader who's it. Yeah, alright, well I
Speaker 1: think we've nailed it.
Speaker 3: You know what. The best thing I'll tell you this,
Speaker 3: I can't wait to show you a certain part of
Speaker 3: the German or the Bavarian men's where as the leader
Speaker 3: hoo's in, and then not woolen socks, but woolen calf
Speaker 3: warmers so they just cover your calf. Oh, they are
Speaker 3: so good, you're going I want some of them. And
Speaker 3: they basically wear short socks and then when your calves,
Speaker 3: when the muscle of the calves starts to go out,
Speaker 3: the fatty part, they cover that in wool. So they're
Speaker 3: like woolen garters that come up and just cover your calves.
Speaker 1: I think I look great.
Speaker 3: I think I look great, and I'm I'm looking forward
Speaker 3: to purchasing a pair of those.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm starting to get pretty excited as well. All right,
Speaker 1: we're we've got a very special guest on the show.
Speaker 3: You know what, I'm tall.
Speaker 1: We're going to take quick break and come back with
Speaker 1: our very special guest. Right, we'll Laning. On this podcast.
Speaker 1: We talk a lot about South Canterbury. I know, I
Speaker 1: crap on a lot about the unbeaten streak that's going
Speaker 1: on down there, and so I felt like it was
Speaker 1: only right that we needed to get someone on that
Speaker 1: was there and in the thick of it. So please
Speaker 1: welcome to the Agenda podcast. For the first time if
Speaker 1: a Nigel Welsh, coach of the South Canterbury rugby team
Speaker 1: in the Heartland, Good morning, Nudgel. How's everything going? Man?
Speaker 5: Good morning? Very well? Thank you.
Speaker 1: Can I ask is it thirty five games on the trot?
Speaker 5: I think it is. Yeah, I think it is. To
Speaker 5: be honest, Look, and it's an old cliche. It's something
Speaker 5: that we don't really concentrate on. We're week by week
Speaker 5: team and we keep doing our job and keep putting
Speaker 5: our men to the task and the rest of will
Speaker 5: to take care of itself. Really, but yeah, thirty five
Speaker 5: or something like that. It's three and a bit of
Speaker 5: years now.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's almost getting ridiculous. So you said that you
Speaker 1: don't really think about it, and obviously you never prepare
Speaker 1: to lose a game, so you're obviously not thinking about
Speaker 1: losing each of these weeks. But there must be an
Speaker 1: element of speed wobbles at some point, isn't there? After
Speaker 1: thirty five on the trot?
Speaker 5: Is the hell of a speed wobble? Last Saturday when
Speaker 5: we're down twenty eight five against Norman that Oh.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you tell you, you're telling me.
Speaker 3: Nigel and I had some money on that and absolutely
Speaker 3: shit in his pants.
Speaker 5: So yeah, there was a little bit of a speed
Speaker 5: wobble there for twenty odd minutes. I'm think at all
Speaker 5: this could be the day, but the boys dug deep
Speaker 5: and took a few instructions and went into their work
Speaker 5: and called the way back, which was an absolute outstanding
Speaker 5: comeback and just showed the resilience and the character of
Speaker 5: the boys to be able to do that.
Speaker 3: Nigel, how like South Canterburdge, it's a big it's quite
Speaker 3: a large geographical, big region. How difficult is to get
Speaker 3: together the team weekend, week out during the Heartland competition.
Speaker 3: I mean we've got to obviously we taste of at
Speaker 3: the start of the year when you couldn't quite get
Speaker 3: up to the Hawks Bay. How hard is it to
Speaker 3: so we can week out get these guys together?
Speaker 5: Oh, look at it. It is trucky. You know, you've
Speaker 5: got you've got freezing workers, you've got plumbers, you've got farmers,
Speaker 5: you've got you know, you know what. And you know,
Speaker 5: some of the guys get called out at night and
Speaker 5: so they can't make training and some of them may
Speaker 5: be on night shift at the freezing works and things
Speaker 5: like that. But I will say a lot of our
Speaker 5: a lot of our businesses around here are very supportive
Speaker 5: of the South Denaby rugby team and allow the boys
Speaker 5: to shoot away for a couple of hours train and
Speaker 5: then come back and get back into the work after
Speaker 5: training and things like that. So that's really really much,
Speaker 5: you know, really appreciated for the support that we get
Speaker 5: from all the businesses around the around the community in
Speaker 5: the South Keneby region, but some of them treble far
Speaker 5: and wide. You know, we get a vanload coming down
Speaker 5: from the McKenzie country to flee for the Colts, the
Speaker 5: South Denry Colts, the South Keneby Ah Squad and the
Speaker 5: South and the Heartland Squad. So you know they all
Speaker 5: working together, and the clubs and that around the place
Speaker 5: will supported as well and supplies vehicles and things like that.
Speaker 5: Getting down to coning, is.
Speaker 1: There a bit of work to be done from a
Speaker 1: coaching perspective when you're bringing together guys from the likes
Speaker 1: of wymat E versus Samoka. You know a bit of
Speaker 1: bad blood there in the local comp but then they
Speaker 1: have to come together to represent Seth. Can I rey,
Speaker 1: do you have to message a few egos or keep
Speaker 1: on top of a few of the boys?
Speaker 5: Oh I look not really like I make it very
Speaker 5: clear right at the starts. You know it's you have
Speaker 5: your own club stuff back at home and all that
Speaker 5: sort of stuff. But you know, our first meeting and
Speaker 5: our first first training or when do we get together.
Speaker 5: I'll make it very very clear that when they walk
Speaker 5: on the store, it's a green and black door, and
Speaker 5: it's no clubs affiliated, and we're walking into a new
Speaker 5: family here, and it's a tight knit family, and it's
Speaker 5: a family we're very very proud of and the history
Speaker 5: that we're making and things like that. So I said,
Speaker 5: all club stuff goes out the back door, and you're
Speaker 5: part of a green and black family and we all
Speaker 5: work together here and they will buy into it. They've
Speaker 5: all taken on board.
Speaker 1: And yeah, what is it about this team? What makes
Speaker 1: them so good? And how they managed to be so
Speaker 1: consistent for such a long period of time.
Speaker 5: Coach, Look, he's there the good and the bad, and
Speaker 5: he's been been a lot of bad and there's been
Speaker 5: a hell of a lot of good doing me wrong.
Speaker 5: But to be fair, I guess it's the consistency of
Speaker 5: the players that we've had together for the last four
Speaker 5: or five years. We're you know, this year here, we've
Speaker 5: introduced our first loan player last week. Otherwise we were
Speaker 5: one hundred per local and it just shows the depth
Speaker 5: of rugging throughout the South Kenemy region and what the
Speaker 5: clubs are doing locally. But I guess having the same
Speaker 5: players rolling in and out for the last four or
Speaker 5: five years and all knowing. You know, we spend a
Speaker 5: lot of time going through our detail and what we
Speaker 5: want to do and how we want to achieve it
Speaker 5: and things like that, and we get them to buy
Speaker 5: into it. We also get in to deliver a lot
Speaker 5: of it as well. But also with the our Pacific
Speaker 5: Island community, we make sure that we really embrace their
Speaker 5: culture and their values and things like that as well.
Speaker 5: So you know, I tease you to go out and
Speaker 5: play a game of footy and play it the way
Speaker 5: the old parling your boy wants to play, But we've
Speaker 5: also going to make sure we understand how the specific
Speaker 5: island boys play and want to play and what makes
Speaker 5: them tick as well. And you know, it's it's not
Speaker 5: everybody knows. We get down into a prayer every night
Speaker 5: before training and after training, before game, after game, and
Speaker 5: you know that's just us embracing their culture and their
Speaker 5: beliefs and making sure they feel part of the family.
Speaker 3: Speaking of part of the family, how much of an
Speaker 3: influences Hecker Elliott being to the to the kind of
Speaker 3: South Canterbury family.
Speaker 5: Yea, beckis a good man, you know, to have an
Speaker 5: ex all Black and Mary all Black and that coming
Speaker 5: into the region and then deciding to put them in
Speaker 5: boots and play for the Rams McKinsey Rams up there,
Speaker 5: and you know, he changed their club scene around a
Speaker 5: hell of a lot this year, you know, and they
Speaker 5: started getting a lot of wins on the trough and
Speaker 5: the self belief and stuff like that. So he's brings
Speaker 5: a lot of mark to the team. He brings a
Speaker 5: lot of experience to the team, and he obviously gets
Speaker 5: a lot of respect from the boys too. And when
Speaker 5: he sees something, they all sort of listen and learn
Speaker 5: from Hacker, and he's very, very forthcoming with some of
Speaker 5: the knowledge that he's passing on to the boys, which
Speaker 5: is huge as well. So we're very lucky to have
Speaker 5: somebody like that come into our ranks and just give
Speaker 5: it that extra boost as well.
Speaker 1: The Shield challenge, I want to talk about that. From
Speaker 1: the start of the year. What happened there was it
Speaker 1: just too expensive to get up to Hawks bade a
Speaker 1: challenge for it this year.
Speaker 5: Look, there's a lot of things going on with our
Speaker 5: new ground and everything like that down here at the moment.
Speaker 5: You know, we're building a brand new stadium and new
Speaker 5: grass and all that sort of stuff, and it's taken
Speaker 5: a few bit of money to do that, and the
Speaker 5: local community and fundraiser and things like that have done
Speaker 5: a fantastic job and doing so. But then I think
Speaker 5: it was just a little bit a push too far
Speaker 5: is a business sense to send the team up there.
Speaker 5: The air flights had double, the accommodation had increased, and
Speaker 5: things like that. So we had to make a business decision.
Speaker 5: And you know, when we spoke with the CEO and
Speaker 5: the board and stuff like that, it was it was like,
Speaker 5: if you're running the business, would you do it? Probably not,
Speaker 5: And so we had to put on the big boys
Speaker 5: unders and make those hard calls with the with the
Speaker 5: union and go with it. So disappointing for the players
Speaker 5: that didn't get that opportunity to have a crack at
Speaker 5: the Shields. Most of them have had a crack, but
Speaker 5: some of the new boys this year have missed out
Speaker 5: on that opportunity. You know, I was disappointed for them
Speaker 5: as probably more than for me as a coach. I've
Speaker 5: played in ranfully Shield challenges myself in the day and
Speaker 5: now coached in them as well. So you know, I
Speaker 5: know what it's like and I know what it means,
Speaker 5: and it was pretty disappointing for some of those boys,
Speaker 5: but also fully understand why the Union called it that way.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, all things going to plan, Nigel. Hopefully the
Speaker 3: Marco can hold on to the shield. You can take
Speaker 3: out the Heartland Championship and then look, if you have
Speaker 3: any trouble getting to Nelson and and I and I
Speaker 3: are happy to come down and drive the coaches and
Speaker 3: we'll be more than happy to go on a roadie
Speaker 3: with the South Canterbury team up to Nelson to challenge
Speaker 3: for the shield. Don't worry about that, you just wear
Speaker 3: a phone call away, Nigel.
Speaker 5: Okay, Jesus, don't you think you should come and see
Speaker 5: these boys and meet these boys before you commit to
Speaker 5: something like that?
Speaker 3: Manias from that part of the world. So I feel
Speaker 3: like I've been I've been indoctrinated.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm no stranger to a South Canterbury rugby bus
Speaker 1: trip and although maybe a little bit out of practice,
Speaker 1: speaking of which I grew up with, Like Miles Midlicott,
Speaker 1: THEO Davidson, gust Patterson was Dan Patterson's older brother as well.
Speaker 1: Do those boys when they come into the team talk
Speaker 1: about the impact that I left on them coming through
Speaker 1: the wrecks.
Speaker 5: You're right up the top of the list. Talk about
Speaker 5: this legion guy that they played with down there, and
Speaker 5: you know your name kicks popping up and I've got
Speaker 5: you on the loan form, Sydney. Just fight over.
Speaker 3: You'll be you'll be getting on tough times if you're
Speaker 3: calling out Maniah Night Jesus c.
Speaker 4: I mean he's left in a lot of weights.
Speaker 3: But it's just as anaerobic because fitness is just absolutely shocking.
Speaker 1: It's probably not quite up to the standards that you'd
Speaker 1: be after. But if things do get dire or do anything.
Speaker 5: The well, actually you talk about that. You know, we
Speaker 5: were head a couple of half backs in question over
Speaker 5: the weekend and Theo Davidson mosction on standby for us
Speaker 5: and borders kick to the ground and then was ready
Speaker 5: to put the gear on and jump on if we
Speaker 5: needed them. So it just shows the boys that you
Speaker 5: know are not fully involved with this year, this year,
Speaker 5: but they still want to see the team succeed and
Speaker 5: support the team and and we're the needed They'll come
Speaker 5: in and help out. So it just shows the support
Speaker 5: right across the grass.
Speaker 1: Yeah, one hundred. Well keep me on speed diar they
Speaker 1: make and the keep the paperwork there. Thank you, Thank
Speaker 1: you very much for your time this weekend, Nigel. Go
Speaker 1: well and go well the rest of the season as well.
Speaker 5: Yeah. No, we've got the big game up and needing parking.
Speaker 5: It's half and we'll keppity this this Sunday for a
Speaker 5: proper So the boys are excited about going up to eating.
Speaker 5: I can get the heavy run around on the ground,
Speaker 5: so looking forward to it and I'm hopefully we can
Speaker 5: get some local support from in and around the Auckland
Speaker 5: area to come and have a look.

Speaker 3: I mean it took all of my self control not
Speaker 3: to scream Fox South Canterbury.
Speaker 1: Is he is?
Speaker 3: He left all.
Speaker 1: I didn't know how to approach that, whether he knows
Speaker 1: about that, but it's it's.
Speaker 3: It's it's it's a sign of endearment. It's not I
Speaker 3: don't mean it. Yeah, I don't mean it. But I
Speaker 3: couldn't bring I couldn't bring myself to Dork because he
Speaker 3: sounds like such a GC.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, and I don't want him catching one
Speaker 1: that I you know that people are saying it. Second
Speaker 1: thing he's heard about me is that people are saying
Speaker 1: fux South Gnery. And the first thing was that I
Speaker 1: was a massive influence on a lot of the players.
Speaker 1: That yeah, I think he was just playing for South Genery. Anyway,
Speaker 1: it is yours. Please your chance to get involved in

Speaker 3: going to curse, fuck Auckland FC up the next I
Speaker 3: was waiting for the first Knicks fan have a hounded us. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and bring it on.
Speaker 1: We'll throwing it on.
Speaker 3: I say, mate, we're going to be hiffing red hot
Speaker 3: flares onto the outfield of Westpac Stadium or Sky Stadium
Speaker 3: down in Wellington when we come down there for the
Speaker 3: away derby. Don't you worry about that.
Speaker 1: We don't know anything about soccer nothing, by the way,
Speaker 1: and they have no allegiance other than the fact that
Speaker 1: it's going to piss a lot of fan ex fans off.
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, I can't wait. I mean, I work for
Speaker 3: FIFA for two and a half years. I still don't
Speaker 3: know anything about football. Oh true, you did too, Yeah,
Speaker 3: but I was the ultimate weapon because Heylane can you
Speaker 3: do all the opposite of the teams and stuff? And
Speaker 3: I had no idea any of the players were, of course,
Speaker 3: so it's completely oblivious. The fact I was yelling at
Speaker 3: line on Messi that he was going the wrong way.
Speaker 1: This way. He's never been talked to like that was life.
Speaker 3: I even gave him a whistle, Wait the pictures this way,
Speaker 3: your little fucking midget other way.
Speaker 1: Powerful.
Speaker 3: I didn't say that but I did yell at him.
Speaker 1: So yeah, we are going to get in behind, and
Speaker 1: arguably you're going to curse some although again you're not
Speaker 1: leaving the g Lane curse is when Lane leaves his
Speaker 1: hometown or whereas living to support one of his teams.
Speaker 3: So the away derby, the away derby could could qualify,
Speaker 3: it could qualify. But the first game and the first
Speaker 3: home derby is going to be at Gohard Stadium. We're
Speaker 3: going to take over Lily World. I was going to
Speaker 3: go and smash the back out of Lily World before
Speaker 3: the game. Spot Wait, can't wait you when you got
Speaker 3: a bar that's fifty meters from the seat?
Speaker 1: Oh like that?
Speaker 3: Yeah, So at Gohart Stadium, make an afternoon of it.
Speaker 3: I'm looking forward to that. So yeah, bring it on, brilliant.
Speaker 1: One more caller here, yours please?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 6: Okay, I haven't managed to watch the old game or
Speaker 6: two halves, but could you talk about the word sleep?
Speaker 5: Could you sleep in a bit of yours?
Speaker 2: Bows?
Speaker 6: See how many times you can get away with saying
Speaker 6: it and the funny voice.
Speaker 3: You know, I love it? Nice. That's a bit like
Speaker 3: the Tinacoto challenge that Jimy Wells did during eating and
Speaker 3: he rang up Michael Laws on z B and he
Speaker 3: got in thirteen.
Speaker 1: Before we got cut off. Yeah. Yeah, so we're gonna
Speaker 1: we wanted to try and get a word sneaking on
Speaker 1: Game and two halves this week. Yeah, I think it's
Speaker 1: gonna have to be yours please. The only problem I
Speaker 1: have is that there is to probably behind the curtain
Speaker 1: a little bit of editing for time because it has
Speaker 1: to fit in a twenty seven minute slot on TV.
Speaker 1: So there is every chance that I could say and
Speaker 1: it gets cut out and does that count against me?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 3: It does. It's gonna make it cut not got to
Speaker 3: make it count. So you're gonna make it count. So
Speaker 3: you've got to throw it in at a good at
Speaker 3: a good time. So maybe it's during like that truth
Speaker 3: and dear and you go Matt Heath yours please? Yes,
Speaker 3: were telling the truth? Yes? Yeah?
Speaker 4: Yeah, So they can't get rid of it.
Speaker 1: Whatever his liars just be like, all right, I don't
Speaker 1: think that you're telling the truth about the Matt Heath
Speaker 1: yours please? Yeah, yours yours please? Yeah, Okay, I'll try.
Speaker 3: And then they won't be able to hit it out.
Speaker 1: I'll try sneak it in on this week's episode. We'll
Speaker 1: do that for you. So that means you're gonna have
Speaker 1: to watch to find out if it if it did
Speaker 1: happen or not, and then you're gonna have to send
Speaker 1: in a message because we will be in Amsterdam.
Speaker 4: Yes, physically, we'll be in Amsterdam.
Speaker 1: Spiritually will be in the seventh Circle of Hell. But
Speaker 1: my carcass will be somewhere in the can floating in
Speaker 1: a canal in Amsterdam, so the message.
Speaker 4: But we'll be doing this podcast from over there.

Speaker 4: that counts out.
Speaker 3: I mean, do we go to Austin, Texas and go
Speaker 3: to the capital of barbecue in the world. What about
Speaker 3: a super Bowl Super Bowl? Yep, we could go there.
Speaker 3: We could go to a Formula one. We could go
Speaker 3: to a golf tournament. Oh yes, I live golf in Adelaide.
Speaker 1: I reckon.
Speaker 3: Yeah. We could go to the Masters hard to get tickets, though.
Speaker 1: The only problem is Augusta is not very ACC friendly.
Speaker 1: I feel like we'd get tossed as soon as we
Speaker 1: got on there.
Speaker 3: Formula one I think could fit. The Formilia one could fit.
Speaker 3: I think going to a barbecue pit Masters and text
Speaker 3: us with fit. We could shoot some guns and drink
Speaker 3: beer and eat meat.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you're like, yeah, I was just thinking about.
