Speaker 1: Live from the Export Beer Gudens Studio and brought to
Speaker 1: you by Export Ultra the Beer for Here. This is
Speaker 1: the Agenda Podcast for Monday, the twenty sixth of August.
Speaker 2: The Agenda Podcast, the home of Sporting Nonsense and clap Trap,
Speaker 2: brought to you by Next Sport a Vulture.
Speaker 3: Welcome back, Glane Ah. Great to be back, Great to
Speaker 3: be back, great to heavy back. Yeah, I was down
Speaker 3: in South Canterbury, actually beautiful part of the country.
Speaker 4: Pumped South Canterbury with a lot of my money. Yeah,
Speaker 4: so you know that's for the people of South Canterbury obviously.
Speaker 5: You know, we popped into the.
Speaker 4: Fairly bake House, had a cheese steak and mushroom pie.
Speaker 5: And a ward winner.
Speaker 3: They don't come much better than the Fairly Baked House.
Speaker 3: I'll tell you what.
Speaker 4: The Fairly bake House is potentially the biggest economic powerhouse
Speaker 4: of Fairly because nothing else was open, really and nothing
Speaker 4: no one else had a queue out the door.
Speaker 1: No, it would turn over more than all of the
Speaker 1: surrounding farms combined. I reckon yeap with way less overheads,
Speaker 1: I would not be surprised.
Speaker 5: And what I love.
Speaker 1: About the Fairly Baked House us which is a great
Speaker 1: place to go when you are feely baked. Is that
Speaker 1: they have not done anything to the layout of.
Speaker 4: The It's rural cafe, through and through the chairs, the tables, everything.
Speaker 1: Despite the fact that it is so popular there's always
Speaker 1: a queue out the door, they haven't done anything about
Speaker 1: their que They haven't put anywhere for you to stand,
Speaker 1: ropes or anything. If you've want to queue up in
Speaker 1: the fucking on the street, go for it.
Speaker 3: They don't. They don't care. And that's what I love
Speaker 3: about the Feely back House.
Speaker 1: It's not going to turn its back on who it is,
Speaker 1: and it's also not going to assume that that success
Speaker 1: is going to keep going because the moment they put
Speaker 1: all that stuff in, everyone had stuff going there.
Speaker 3: I reckon.
Speaker 4: It's just the range Rover packed at the back. Yeah,
Speaker 4: that's the only giveaway.
Speaker 3: That's the key. Yeah, yeah, that's the only give way.
Speaker 4: Plus, you know, I did a really real good tiki tour,
Speaker 4: was in Tekepo twice, all going that round hill.
Speaker 5: You know, just spent some more money up there.
Speaker 3: Now Dobson, you get to Dobbin. Dobbo was closed.
Speaker 4: Dobbo was suffering a little bit from the wind direction,
Speaker 4: and I was quite thankful to that because that would
Speaker 4: require chains. Yeah, and you know it's chains are one
Speaker 4: of those real demasculating things to trumput on chains and
Speaker 4: the freezing cold, wet and you watch the video. I
Speaker 4: remember watching the YouTube video and it was this young
Speaker 4: lady and she was going to see you do it,
Speaker 4: and I did notice a lot of jump cuts. She goes,
Speaker 4: he goes, you just threw that around there, bomp up
Speaker 4: the back and it's done.
Speaker 5: I'm like, no, no, no.
Speaker 4: And then I watched another one of a guy actually
Speaker 4: just with his mate filming and he's on his back
Speaker 4: under the car, covered in mud and shit, swearing a
Speaker 4: fucking James fuck. And that was much more on my
Speaker 4: level because I was like, ah see, that's that's more realistic.
Speaker 3: That's more realistic.
Speaker 1: So if you yell at your son for holding the
Speaker 1: phone wrong, then it'll get on a bit quicker. Jerry
Speaker 1: talked about this last week. He was saying that he
Speaker 1: his wife is an experts. She's just got a knack
Speaker 1: for being able to put chains on. That's hot, it is,
Speaker 1: but unfortunately everyone that drives past him just gives him
Speaker 1: the biggest evils or people who walk up to him like,
Speaker 1: are you just letting your wife like? He'll be in
Speaker 1: the passenger seat warming his hands.
Speaker 3: On the event. I did suggest that to my twelve
Speaker 3: year old son.
Speaker 4: I said, if you guys want to make some money,
Speaker 4: go out there and just get on pair overalls, some gloves.
Speaker 3: Just prepare to get completely covered.
Speaker 4: In mud, but become a ninja at putting on chains
Speaker 4: and charge people twenty bucks. I'll pay they've got money,
Speaker 4: I've got money, don't worry about that, and just be
Speaker 4: ninjas on the slopes.
Speaker 5: Plus, when you're a bit.
Speaker 3: Older, not a bad place to pick up. Oh no,
Speaker 3: I'm talking about you know, the car full of potential
Speaker 3: suitors coming up the mountain in Distress seventeen eighteen. Yeah,
Speaker 3: out of the mists comes Ralph Lane. Yeah, there's overalls
Speaker 3: between sixth and seventh form there. Yeah, he's he's sixty
Speaker 3: three probably by then, you know, he's like, you go,
Speaker 3: you guys need a hand with these chains.
Speaker 5: It's on the house.
Speaker 3: What do he goes up to later?
Speaker 4: Yeahs come down to and you know we're talking about
Speaker 4: we're talking all the dance. We're talking about this, not
Speaker 4: with the children, hobnously trying to relive our youth and
Speaker 4: what we should have done when we were younger. But
Speaker 4: that's going to be my goal before my son turned sixteen,
Speaker 4: that he is going to become a ninja.
Speaker 3: Well, you've going to figure out how to do it first.
Speaker 3: That's an issue too.
Speaker 4: I wasn't the I wasn't the driveway and Tekapo and
Speaker 4: if you were staying next to me, you would have
Speaker 4: heard me go.
Speaker 3: Fuck, how do you fuck?
Speaker 4: You get little cuts in your top of your fingers
Speaker 4: as well, and then it starts in the instruction.
Speaker 5: Anyway, I've actually did it.
Speaker 4: I've actually got there and put them on and then
Speaker 4: promptly took them off again and decided not to go
Speaker 4: up Dobson because it required chains.
Speaker 3: The locals would be like, fucking, here's another Auckland correct.
Speaker 3: I met a lot of great locals though. I met
Speaker 3: the lovely Josh from Mamaru.
Speaker 4: He was an o how Lodge with his with his
Speaker 4: new girlfriend go on, yeah, it was their second date.
Speaker 4: Was going up the mountain and going skiing. Powerful second day, yeah,
Speaker 4: I know, and the high What was more lotty was
Speaker 4: in him. What was more powerful was he came down
Speaker 4: the mountain to oh How Lodge he had a couple
Speaker 4: of beers with us. A couple of beers turned into
Speaker 4: about eight beers and he had to stay the night
Speaker 4: at oh How Lodge.
Speaker 3: Oh, and so did Lotti.
Speaker 4: So the second date was an overnighter in the Oha
Speaker 4: Lodge and was as peeled as Josh was not really.
Speaker 3: She went to bed early and Josh stayed up to
Speaker 3: the wee hours with us. So she went to bed
Speaker 3: and rung her beyss mate. It was just like right,
Speaker 3: so now we're having to stay here, Okay, he's wasted.
Speaker 3: She was from Belgium.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, she was a dairy farmer from Belgium working
Speaker 4: and got her first gag in the cargo and then
Speaker 4: got the second one in Omeroon.
Speaker 3: It's enough grade? Yeah? Does she go directly to Hell
Speaker 3: after that? Like? What's the trajectory there?
Speaker 4: Young twenty three year old thrusters were They were great fun.
Speaker 4: It was it was refreshing to see someone with little
Speaker 4: care about turning up to work the next day. Because
Speaker 4: that was a Sunday. Oh yeah, no, what was it?
Speaker 4: It was a it was a week weekday, that's right.
Speaker 4: It was a Wednesday or Thursday, right, yeah, so.
Speaker 1: What and he was going to drive back to Omaru
Speaker 1: presumably yea from Oh that's.
Speaker 3: Quite a quite a trick and a half or so,
Speaker 3: isn't it. Yeah, oh yeah, but I mean like before work.
Speaker 3: I suppose that's an average Auckland commute. No, No, that
Speaker 3: is quite a common thing. I've seen a few people
Speaker 3: do it at the Mythan Pub, the Brown Pub. I've
Speaker 3: seen the stay there overnight and then go to work
Speaker 3: and ash burt in the next day. You can have
Speaker 3: yourself a beautiful holiday down there in South Canterbury at
Speaker 3: the moment. Yeah, absolutely, we prefered them all the Blue Pup,
Speaker 3: You're a blue pub? Was there a band going at
Speaker 3: the Blue?
Speaker 4: It was? There was later on, but we'd skid out
Speaker 4: of by the d because we had to feed nine
Speaker 4: thousand kids.
Speaker 5: Anywhere we went. We were like it was like locusts
Speaker 5: so gone.
Speaker 4: Just anything that wasn't bolted down would be in their pocket,
Speaker 4: like hot chocolates, sugar sachets, just anything, anything to just
Speaker 4: keep them going. But the hot pools nice and Mythvine,
Speaker 4: No I haven't. I haven't tried out the hot pools
Speaker 4: and Mythvin yet. Very different experiences are hot pools and
Speaker 4: you have sessions, which is quite good. So you booked
Speaker 4: the three pm to five pm session and you get
Speaker 4: two hours, but it limits the numbers. And they've got
Speaker 4: a bombing pool and amongst it they've got like a
Speaker 4: it's only about the size of a spar pool, but
Speaker 4: it's two and a half meters deep, and then they
Speaker 4: have a platform and it's just like fill your boots.
Speaker 4: So basically all the dads and all the kids in
Speaker 4: an hour, just emptying that little bucket.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was mean, that's perfect.
Speaker 1: It's like, don't like, you know, because there's all always
Speaker 1: signs don't jump at the pool, don't die, blah blah blah,
Speaker 1: people are going to do it.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: And also one of the other little kids, Freddy, was
Speaker 4: just running around around the pool and I was like,
Speaker 4: we you he goes.
Speaker 3: There's no sign saying you can't run. He running a
Speaker 3: round and around. I was like, oh, fair play, Yeah,
Speaker 3: you are still just as likely to slip over and
Speaker 3: track your hear there's no sign. So he was into
Speaker 3: it fair enough. So a good holiday down there in
Speaker 3: South king This was great. I love it. I had
Speaker 3: a great time down south Canerbury. They betrayed me over
Speaker 3: the week in South Caniby the rugby team. No they don't.
Speaker 3: They won but by too much.
Speaker 1: I took They were playing wided up a Bush who
Speaker 1: had a plus twenty five and a half hit start.
Speaker 1: I was like, that is a lot of points in
Speaker 1: a rugby union game. So I took that, and South
Speaker 1: Canibury thump them like sixty three to thirty or something.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I can't rely on the bush.
Speaker 1: You can't rely on the bush. You never have been
Speaker 1: able to, certainly not in twenty twenty four. And so
Speaker 1: my league missed. I believe another one of our tips
Speaker 1: as well. It was Smashing Eagle, one of our tips
Speaker 1: from the sports book on Friday, was the only one
Speaker 1: of our tips that we tipped out that missed the
Speaker 1: top four.
Speaker 3: And that's because it died. Yeah, look that happens from
Speaker 3: times to time.
Speaker 5: Time to time. Yeah, I just said enough heard.
Speaker 1: Attack out of the gate, and I'd like to assue
Speaker 1: an apology to the ownership group of Smashing Eagle, and
Speaker 1: of course to the horse itself as well. When you
Speaker 1: become part of the a SEC Sports Book, power by
Speaker 1: the tab, it can feel like you have the weight
Speaker 1: of the nation on your shoulders.
Speaker 3: Yea, And for some horses. That's too much.
Speaker 1: And unfortunately for our dear friends Smashing Eagle, it was
Speaker 1: a little bit too much on the weekend. And so
Speaker 1: I think that we need to be a little bit
Speaker 1: mindful about the power that we're exercising on that podcast.
Speaker 3: We need to take some responsibility, don't we. That's right?
Speaker 1: And you know again, I put twenty five and a
Speaker 1: half point hit start and wided up a bush.
Speaker 3: They got humped and they're lucky. They all made it
Speaker 3: out of life. I think Joe Jerry punted on your
Speaker 3: behalf and he bet on Canterbury to beat Auckland in
Speaker 3: the NPC and they did. Did they they did? Does
Speaker 3: that count as a win for you?
Speaker 5: Yes?
Speaker 3: I think it does. It's my punt, it's so I'm
Speaker 3: going to take it. So have you?
Speaker 5: Have you done? Run the numbers?
Speaker 3: Yeah? On who's archives three in a row? Now?
Speaker 1: So I think I'm well out in front at this point,
Speaker 1: But no, I haven't.
Speaker 3: I'm still waiting. I'm just praying that there's some train
Speaker 3: spot out there who wants to go back through and
Speaker 3: crunch the numbers. Otherwise I'm going to make Ella do it.
Speaker 1: The greatest news islander of all time we're in the
Speaker 1: second round.
Speaker 3: I know, I've seen some spicy match ups. The weekend
Speaker 3: was a blood bath.
Speaker 1: Over the weekend, Stacy Jones beat out Jason Gunn yep,
Speaker 1: which I thought. I honestly thought the weight of popular
Speaker 1: opinion was worth Jason Gunn because he was the only
Speaker 1: one of these people.
Speaker 3: Who's genuinely gotten involved.
Speaker 1: Stacy Jones was here for a press conference on Friday morning,
Speaker 1: and man Heath was like, geez, how do you manage
Speaker 1: to get Stacy in for the Greatest New Zealander of
Speaker 1: all time? It's like no, no, no, no, no, it's
Speaker 1: he had to announce the key with schedule, you know.
Speaker 1: Stace took out Jace. Dave Dobbin beat the med Butcher.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Not surprised here. Dave Dobbin's beloved, isn't it. Yeah
Speaker 3: he is.
Speaker 5: It's going to be hard to beat.
Speaker 3: Charles Upham also going to be hard to beat. He
Speaker 3: took out Bears. Yeah, there was a big one. I
Speaker 3: saw a couple of poles where Bears was in front,
Speaker 3: and I was like, I did think should have Bears
Speaker 3: actually beat Charles up?
Speaker 5: And that's going to be controversial.
Speaker 1: We're up over like a thousand votes on each social
Speaker 1: media platform.
Speaker 3: Now that's good for each and what's and what's the one?
Speaker 3: What's today today is quite ironic. We've got Lisa Carrington
Speaker 3: versus Pedals, Lisa v. Pedals. It's quite an ironic matchup,
Speaker 3: like what you did there. So look, I don't know.
Speaker 3: I think recency bias Lisa Carrington.
Speaker 4: I don't know, But then you've got the knowledge bias
Speaker 4: as well in terms of probably more cricket fans than
Speaker 4: there are kayaking fans. Are you gonna say she doesn't
Speaker 4: know much? No, majority of our it's probably into credit. Yeah, definitely,
Speaker 4: not so much peddling. No more paddles and peddling.
Speaker 3: Yeah that's right.
Speaker 1: Well, I mean we're not the AKC Alternative Kayaking Collective.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I don't know. That's one I think is
Speaker 1: I can't split it. I think it's going to be
Speaker 1: another one of those Facebook versus Instagram.
Speaker 4: Okay, well, I'm glad it's getting getting into the spicy
Speaker 4: rounds we've got. There's a lot of criticism going in
Speaker 4: that first round, but now it's settled down.
Speaker 3: No, No, the criticisms.
Speaker 1: Every single matchup, someone comments and says, this should be
Speaker 1: the final. That's how that's how we know we've got
Speaker 1: a good bracket on our hands, and also that they're
Speaker 1: getting more and more ridiculous. I think the four Square
Speaker 1: guys is going to have to face Charlie up and
Speaker 1: at some point, oh, you know.
Speaker 3: People are really gonna have to wreck their at is
Speaker 3: that Charlie versus Charlie?
Speaker 5: Is his name Charlie on for?
Speaker 3: I think it is, yeah, Battle of the Charlie's Bettle
Speaker 3: of the Chucks.
Speaker 1: All right, go on to Facebook or Instagram and have
Speaker 1: you say influence the comments if you can. We're going
Speaker 1: to take a quick break, come back and talk had
Speaker 1: all the sports that happened over the weekend. We'll start
Speaker 1: with and look, we'll address it more on the Mad
Speaker 1: Monday podcast. Stuff to Know Myself and Ben Hurly. But
Speaker 1: Shawn Johnson Stadium couldn't quite get it done in the
Speaker 1: last home game. But I went out there and it
Speaker 1: was a hell of an experience. It was packed out,
Speaker 1: like every game has been a sellout, but it's usually
Speaker 1: people rocking up, almost like after the whistle's blown, there's
Speaker 1: still people pulling up, But this was packed out from
Speaker 1: the get go.
Speaker 3: You would have seen on social media.
Speaker 1: There's a video of me trying to give him man
Speaker 1: a pie and he turned he turned his back on
Speaker 1: the pie, and I think that was his cardinal sin
Speaker 1: hit him in.
Speaker 3: The back of the head. So did he just get
Speaker 3: that clear?
Speaker 4: Because I just thought you were just throwing pies at
Speaker 4: people's heads. I mean, I'm just looking on the on
Speaker 4: the outside and I was just perusing social media and
Speaker 4: I thought, you saw you throw a four and twenty Traveler.
Speaker 3: Into the side of a fan's head. Yeah, as your.
Speaker 4: Excuse that he was supposed to be expecting it and
Speaker 4: turned his turned his back.
Speaker 1: Yeah, my excuse is he asked for it. He When
Speaker 1: we down, we had fifty of these traveler piles from
Speaker 1: four and twenty and we opened the box and immediately
Speaker 1: people are like, oh shit when they heard that we're
Speaker 1: giving pies. I was like, can you just wait one second.
Speaker 1: I've got to film something to tell people that we've
Speaker 1: got these piles to come down and grab them.
Speaker 3: So I was like, just wait a second.
Speaker 1: I did my little spiel, ay, We've got fifty piles,
Speaker 1: come down and grab one.
Speaker 3: Just let this guy hear.
Speaker 1: And then I went to tap and pass it to
Speaker 1: him by this stage, he turned his back, so it
Speaker 1: just whistled into the back of his head, and it
Speaker 1: was going so fast that it hit him in the
Speaker 1: back of the head and then bounced over his head.
Speaker 1: As mate caught it, they all erupted in celebration. Someone
Speaker 1: hugged them, and as they hugged them, the pie exploded
Speaker 1: all over the guy's puffer. Vest I saw that photo too,
Speaker 1: because I was like, because part of me, it's very
Speaker 1: hard to put that together, that story together, or a
Speaker 1: series of photos video.
Speaker 3: And then the next photo was pile over his.
Speaker 4: Puffa and like, how the fuck did he get it
Speaker 4: from the back of his head to his puffa?
Speaker 1: Different guy, Yeah, different guy, And so yeah, he had
Speaker 1: a steaming hot a nuclear four and twenty pie greased
Speaker 1: just all up his puffaj And if you're going to
Speaker 1: get a pie gravy all over your jacket, might as
Speaker 1: well be a four and twenty. But they did not
Speaker 1: last long. Man, people were excited. They would have been.
Speaker 1: There was this one guy who came into his family
Speaker 1: and he was just like we genuinely just walked in
Speaker 1: and we're like, right, let's go and find the four
Speaker 1: and twenty pies and we'll go and buy one of
Speaker 1: those first order of business.
Speaker 3: And then I was like, well have it. I just
Speaker 3: give you some. Yeah, they couldn't believe it.
Speaker 5: Excellent.
Speaker 1: So the game itself is a little bit disappointing, and
Speaker 1: I think from the get go, like Shawn Johnson dropped
Speaker 1: it with his first touch of the ball, emotions were
Speaker 1: just so high. But like I said, men, men early
Speaker 1: will break that that one down.
Speaker 5: Can I mention what you sent to me?
Speaker 3: What listen to you?
Speaker 4: It's passing down with rain here dogs thirteen plus and
Speaker 4: you know what I did and I won?
Speaker 3: Yeah, look treeson us.
Speaker 4: But you know I was in South Canterbury. I was
Speaker 4: dodge to do and just punt on the Warriors leading
Speaker 4: thirteen plus.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a right. It's happy as insurance.
Speaker 1: Like I would say, I don't bit on or against
Speaker 1: the Warriors because I'm too emotionally invested. But as soon
Speaker 1: as I saw the rain and it was passing down too,
Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, she's all over here, Lydia Coe
Speaker 1: one another bloody golf tournament. She's doing it for fun
Speaker 1: these days, isn't she?
Speaker 3: Oh? How good? So good?
Speaker 5: She was in third place. I think within the came
Speaker 5: out to the final round.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then I think even right towards the end,
Speaker 1: she booted the eighteenth and then Nellie Carter dropped the shot.
Speaker 1: I think whoever it was in third place dropped like
Speaker 1: two and all of a sudden, our girls winning by
Speaker 1: two strokes.
Speaker 5: Ice in her veins these days.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it's like, I think, the point of your career,
Speaker 4: because you know, you said she's going to retire at thirty.
Speaker 3: Or yeah, shit, that's what she said. Yeah, it's like
Speaker 3: it's like she's got no choe if I want to
Speaker 3: win Hall of Famer.
Speaker 4: Yeah, totally, it's almost and the confidence and also how
Speaker 4: freaking cold does it look in Scotland. It's it's it's
Speaker 4: still technically summer. It's August, June, July, August.
Speaker 3: We're in summer. Still, it's not that's not autumn. She's
Speaker 3: got ear muffs.
Speaker 1: Apparently, Yeah, the ear muffs. Man, like, if you know
Speaker 1: you're about to win, be in the air muffs. You
Speaker 1: don't want that memory for there is still.
Speaker 3: I don't know. I quite like that. Did you like that?
Speaker 3: I always say you could block everything out? I quite
Speaker 3: liked it. Maybe I'm he's just siptible to getting COLDI
Speaker 3: is oh mae, it looks well. Apparently the wind was
Speaker 3: the biggest factor. It was windows hell.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so funny that that's where golf came from, not
Speaker 1: like some beautiful pastor like mongolia would make sense.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but they like the rumor is that it's eighteen
Speaker 4: shots of whiskey in a bottle.
Speaker 5: That's why I keep yourself warm.
Speaker 3: You're just taken ohcking.
Speaker 5: Nips of whiskey the whole time.
Speaker 1: It's so fucking cold. Well, they didn't have enough back then,
Speaker 1: did they say they would have had to anyway? So
Speaker 1: that was the well they're just calling it the Open.
Speaker 3: That's when at St.
Speaker 1: Andrew's and last I mean what in August she obviously
Speaker 1: won the gold medal, qualified her for the Hall of Fame,
Speaker 1: youngest ever.
Speaker 3: To do it, and double down and go and you
Speaker 3: just ship your them in the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 1: Golf seems to be one of those sports that's like
Speaker 1: you go on a run. You know, dudes, it was
Speaker 1: John Raham recently, it's Schiffler at the moment and dudes
Speaker 1: just go through Jordan's speA.
Speaker 5: Remember in speaed one like four in a.
Speaker 3: Row, Yeah, it seemed like four and they go through yeah,
Speaker 3: even Brooks Kipka, and then they go through these runs
Speaker 3: and then they drop off. And I don't know what
Speaker 3: it is.
Speaker 1: I don't know what to put it down to, but
Speaker 1: it does seem like once it's you, yeah, you're on yeah,
Speaker 1: and right now it's Ldia co. Why wouldn't you retire
Speaker 1: by the time you thirty years? She won two point
Speaker 1: eight mel for this, so how much has she won
Speaker 1: over her career? Plus apparently a hubby's doing all right
Speaker 1: for himself too, So it's not a financial thing.
Speaker 3: She's already a Hall of Famer.
Speaker 4: But if it's not a financial thing, just why not
Speaker 4: go into word playing golf?
Speaker 1: Well, because she's also achieved everything. Yes, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. I don't know what she's got left to do.
Speaker 1: She's clocked it a company.
Speaker 3: Other sport? What other sports should be good at? Cricket? Yeah?
Speaker 5: True? Look great hand eye.
Speaker 1: Didn't Ash Barty pick up a golf club when she
Speaker 1: stopped playing tennis?
Speaker 3: She did?
Speaker 1: Maybe Lydia Cooca play tennis. There you go her and
Speaker 1: lulusaan SVG to the Motorsports Desk.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 1: SVG has been confirmed to be a full time driver
Speaker 1: on NASCAR for twenty twenty five.
Speaker 3: He's faias that murger Man. I don't know his name.
Speaker 1: All I know is he's faious and it got me thinking.
Speaker 1: You know, my relationship with motor games as well documented
Speaker 1: on this podcast. Not a fan of them, but I
Speaker 1: think if there was ever one that I could get behind,
Speaker 1: it would be NASCAR because it's just all of the
Speaker 1: off field stuff just seems so obviously. There's the whole
Speaker 1: Talladagga nights of it all and all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 1: And look, I know, my main complaint about motor games
Speaker 1: is that it's boring. No one ever gets overtaken on
Speaker 1: the tracks, and arguably NASCAR is the most boring of those.
Speaker 1: But you know, I mean, no one's getting overtaken in
Speaker 1: Formula One either.
Speaker 3: Oh it's a lie. Leonard Norris won one on the weekend.
Speaker 3: Well didn't he start from pole position? Yeah, but he's.
Speaker 4: Beaten Van strap On, he beat Ben strap On, right,
Speaker 4: but no one got overtaken.
Speaker 1: Very cool anyway, NASCAR twenty twenty five. We in the
Speaker 1: office have been kicking the football around about what we're
Speaker 1: going to do with next year's beer garden to it.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we haven't made a decision yet. I don't
Speaker 1: even know if it's out decision to make, but I've
Speaker 1: done some research. Yes, Talladega is on sixth of October
Speaker 1: this year, so it'll be about then next year. It
Speaker 1: is right in our wheelhouse.
Speaker 3: For sporting events, Talladega Knights.
Speaker 1: Let's do Talladega Knights over there in Talladega. We can
Speaker 1: watch SVG compete in his first Talladega Nights. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: the next export be a garden tour of Talladega.
Speaker 4: So do you think Americans get dressed up as Ricky
Speaker 4: Bobby and go to Talladega.
Speaker 3: Definitely there'd be something.
Speaker 4: There'd be some of them, because I'm picturing will turn
Speaker 4: up twenty of us dressed as Ricky Bobby and they'll
Speaker 4: look and we'll have the shit beating out.
Speaker 3: Of us, like our culture is not your costume. That's
Speaker 3: cultural appropriation. We hate that movie, that movie and just
Speaker 3: beat the crap out of it. That movie set us back.
Speaker 1: Well, look if Stephen mccavay can go to Bathurst and
Speaker 1: the salmon shirt and loafers.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but he didn't survive though, did He didn't hardly survive.
Speaker 5: He came out. He came just came out.
Speaker 1: Of that, then we can go addressed as Ricky Bobby.
Speaker 1: I reckon Talladaga Knights. It's right now, wheelhouse right there.
Speaker 1: You can try and convert me to motor games.
Speaker 4: How do they even accommodate all those people there, because
Speaker 4: don't they have like it's hundreds of thousand, two hundred
Speaker 4: thousand people there, like yea, is it a big camp site?
Speaker 4: Jesus meagine that a trailer park.
Speaker 3: I would imagine homes.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Oh, there'd be a tailgate beforehand. Oh, wouldn't that
Speaker 1: be an experience, a cultural experience.
Speaker 3: Got to Talladaga Nights.
Speaker 5: Jeez, where's Talladega anyway?
Speaker 3: I want to say America had to guess. I don't know.
Speaker 1: Speaking of America, there's another segue for those who playing
Speaker 1: at home the America's Cup. We are competing in the
Speaker 1: preliminary regatta, competing. We're in it, so for those of
Speaker 1: you not familiar with it, we don't have to be
Speaker 1: in it because we whoever wins that regatta. I think
Speaker 1: there's another regatta than the winner of that competes against us.
Speaker 3: Yes, for the America's Cup. Yeah, so this is a
Speaker 3: preliminary one, and then there's the Louis Vuitton. Yeah, in
Speaker 3: the Louis Vuitton, who wins that goes in races in
Speaker 3: the final. I guess he's against that, so we're in regardless. Yeah,
Speaker 3: but I think we're looking for a bit of match practice.
Speaker 1: Match practice, also getting use of the conditions. Yeah, because
Speaker 1: it's you know, we've had to take it over to Barcelona,
Speaker 1: so we don't have a home field advantage. But also
Speaker 1: more than that, because I initially saw this as like
Speaker 1: what's the point? But more than all of that, we
Speaker 1: need to try and win this to demoralize them because
Speaker 1: presumably that knocks someone else out from competing.
Speaker 3: Well, they not.
Speaker 4: What it does is it's also mass they're doing. What
Speaker 4: they're doing is sandbagging. So over the weekend three of
Speaker 4: them pulled out of the New Zealand race. So first
Speaker 4: one I went, oh, it's something wrong with the computer.
Speaker 4: A second one a very unusual splash down at the
Speaker 4: start from any of Britannia. And then the third the
Speaker 4: French were like, eh, why I got something wrong.
Speaker 3: With the boat?
Speaker 1: And it's because is it because they've got some tactic
Speaker 1: strategies or this is.
Speaker 4: The rumor is they don't want to give New Zealand
Speaker 4: an advantage. So this is the rumor, this is this
Speaker 4: is whisperings. Yeah, that they're sandbagging because they don't want
Speaker 4: to give news on any advantage and all the challenges
Speaker 4: have come together and go fact, those guys don't give
Speaker 4: them anything.
Speaker 3: Well, the advantages we're going to be in the final
Speaker 3: whether they want us to be or not. I know.
Speaker 4: So they want the least amount of advantage, So be
Speaker 4: interesting to see how it all goes. And you know what,
Speaker 4: my key effector for it is pretty minimal.
Speaker 3: It happens in the middle of the night. I don't
Speaker 3: care you. But when we get into the America's capines.
Speaker 4: Yeah, maybe I will, but what's but what's maybe? You know,
Speaker 4: I probably will get into it.
Speaker 3: But then part of me is like fucking Graham whatever
Speaker 3: his name is, Dalton, he's going to take it to
Speaker 3: Dubai after this.
Speaker 4: Yeah, like they guaranteed if we defend it in Barcelona's
Speaker 4: are coming back to Walkland. They haven't said that. They
Speaker 4: haven't said that. That's I say that my key effect
Speaker 4: has gone even smaller. I don't but they're not cool
Speaker 4: as ship give you that. The boats look mean. But
Speaker 4: unless it's there in New Zealand.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't care.
Speaker 1: It's like even cricket doesn't travel that well. If it's
Speaker 1: in the middle of the night, you won't really watch it. Now,
Speaker 1: sailing has to be out your fucking window, to be honest.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think so. It's fact it's in Barcelona. In fact,
Speaker 4: they've taken it away for the money and the money only,
Speaker 4: and they said they are the only reason we could
Speaker 4: put team together is we took it over there.
Speaker 3: I'm like, yeah, whatever, keep telling yourself that.
Speaker 1: But but you couldn't have done it an Aussie, you know,
Speaker 1: somewhere closer.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, they just gave it to
Speaker 4: the highest better. But if they give it to the
Speaker 4: highest bit of they would have gone to jitter, it
Speaker 4: would have gone to saudist something.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but that's my fear for the next one is
Speaker 4: we'll win it, we'll be all happy, we'll put a parade.
Speaker 5: On, and then it'll go somewhere else.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 5: So I don't know.
Speaker 3: I'm ambivalent. I don't know. I don't know how to
Speaker 3: feel about it. Nah. Yeah, Joe Jerry did propose this
Speaker 3: morning that we put an embargo on the America's Cup
Speaker 3: just don't talk about it on the agenda at all.
Speaker 4: Well, I don't think we have to till the actual final.
Speaker 4: I don't really care who we race against.
Speaker 3: We'll park it there then.
Speaker 1: But speaking of racing, have you seen the Australians sixteen
Speaker 1: year old is sitting records a flame over there. His
Speaker 1: name is gout gout, gout gout yep, not a name
Speaker 1: that you would think is conducive to running fast. Go
Speaker 1: o u T g o u T Yeah, gout gout.
Speaker 1: He is an Australian sixteen year old. He has run
Speaker 1: a ten point two over one hundred meters, which is
Speaker 1: fucking quirk. Yeah, for a sixteen year old like that
Speaker 1: is I don't think that'll be far off what man
Speaker 1: Noah Lyles ran in one hundred meters and I watched
Speaker 1: the footage.
Speaker 3: Of it as well.
Speaker 1: He is he's sixteen, he's sixteen, yeah, and he's like
Speaker 1: twenty meters ahead of everyone else when he finished.
Speaker 3: That is outrageous.
Speaker 5: I hope he doesn't get gout.
Speaker 1: Well, this is the isshue. They were saying they were
Speaker 1: comparing his speeds. The only other person who was as
Speaker 1: fast as he was is when they were his age
Speaker 1: was you could guess Husain Bolt, that's right. What I
Speaker 1: found bizarre about the sprints at the Olympics was that
Speaker 1: in one hundred years we've only taken a second off
Speaker 1: the time, and they put that down to the tracks
Speaker 1: and the shoes better. There's probably enough, you know, for
Speaker 1: that one second, but humans aren't any faster. Have we
Speaker 1: just reached I also watched the high jump from like
Speaker 1: the eighties. They were jumping the same height. Have the
Speaker 1: drugs got better? Well, obviously not by enough, because they've
Speaker 1: only taken taken a second off.
Speaker 4: I've speaking of which Netflix have got an untold Hall
Speaker 4: of Shame docco and it's on Balco, the Balco, the
Speaker 4: guy who was giving all the drugs to Marion Jones,
Speaker 4: to guy is it to Montgomery, Barry Bonds, all the
Speaker 4: all the emailb players. It's really interesting. It's a very
Speaker 4: interesting doco if you want to go and watch that.
Speaker 4: He basically invented a.
Speaker 3: New drug that was untestable and testable, called.
Speaker 4: It clean, and he turned it He called it clean. Yeah,
Speaker 4: it was called clean, and they've tested positive for clean
Speaker 4: and it turns on a clean bottle just under the
Speaker 4: tongue and also a cream that was full of steroids
Speaker 4: you'd rub on your skin on the outside. It's really
Speaker 4: you should watch it, so it delves into the whole
Speaker 4: Barry Bonds maguire. Remember that couple of years where everyone
Speaker 4: was heading Basquilian home runs.
Speaker 1: Mate, go and watch the NBA from the early two thousands.
Speaker 1: Those dase look like bodybuilders. Yeah, it's all the testing protocols,
Speaker 1: but it's called Untold Hall of Shame on Netflix. Give that,
Speaker 1: I give that a home.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I abuse the sports documentaries over the weekend
Speaker 3: as a bachelor got into the old Is there right
Speaker 3: a sun new one?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 3: Yep as well.
Speaker 1: God, being a cage fighter is one of the most
Speaker 1: intense jobs that you could ever have, so feastal famine.
Speaker 3: You might dedicate your entire life to it.
Speaker 1: Finally hit the big time, get knocked out four times
Speaker 1: and then that's your career. Sure, and you can't remember
Speaker 1: your house keys? Are is it worth it?
Speaker 3: And also your knockouts are all over YouTube forever? Oh yeah, no,
Speaker 3: anyone can look up. You're getting knocked out in you're
Speaker 3: andy some in front of hundreds of thousands of people.
Speaker 3: Yeah that's brutal, but ye gack out shout out to
Speaker 3: them Australians sixteen year old run ten point two. He
Speaker 3: could be the next USand Belt. I don't know.
Speaker 1: We didn't take a quick break when we come back.
Speaker 1: A little bit of yours please.
Speaker 2: Yours please, brought to you by Leader Home of the Top.
Speaker 3: Just a couple to get through. First call here, yours please?
Speaker 5: You get it?
Speaker 6: Mary a long time, first time just on Heath talking
Speaker 6: about not allowed to wear the middle in this you
Speaker 6: want it the Stanley cap apparently if you touch it
Speaker 6: without having won it, you won't win it. So and
Speaker 6: I will never win a gold medal like Mikayla Blyde
Speaker 6: by Camilton.
Speaker 3: Hey.
Speaker 1: I so last week we had the photo shot for
Speaker 1: Game or two halves and Mikayla Blide just there. She
Speaker 1: brought a gold medal with h as she is wont
Speaker 1: to do and I put it around my neck and
Speaker 1: Heath was like, oh, that's some sort of.
Speaker 3: Curse which I had never heard of.
Speaker 5: Bullshit.
Speaker 3: Kiss Yeah.
Speaker 5: And also you're never gonna win a gold medal?
Speaker 3: Well not now?
Speaker 4: No, well, I guess we'll never know, Like no, we know, well,
Speaker 4: we know now. But I can't even compete in the
Speaker 4: woman's under forty nine kg. You know, we don't know. Well,
Speaker 4: the thing is, we'll never know. That's a made up curse.
Speaker 4: That's that's Heath Eith is going around firing curses off
Speaker 4: just as a smoke screen for his pen and wa curse,
Speaker 4: that's what he's doing.
Speaker 1: They've been pretty quiet lately. Oh yeah, they've been real
Speaker 1: quiet lately. I wonder if they're going to disband next year.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, imagine they will. But yeah, I think he
Speaker 1: was desperately looking for any kind of curse to try
Speaker 1: and transfer onto me. I'm just gutted at that scene
Speaker 1: in my Olympic dream because up until now, you know,
Speaker 1: anything was possible, and now I've just found out that
Speaker 1: I'll never win an Olympic gold, just by the fact
Speaker 1: that MICHAELA. Blood told me that I did win an
Speaker 1: Olympic gold because that is New Zealand's gold.
Speaker 5: Oh it's nice.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's nice of it. I know. That's what I
Speaker 3: was saying to Heath, like that, did you amorously? God? No,
Speaker 3: fuck no, her arms. She's jacked that photo.
Speaker 4: I was like, because she picked you up like the
Speaker 4: old mot warrior and tossing across the room.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, thankfully it was a toss up between her wearing
Speaker 1: that song little Me, so I'm glad that she ended
Speaker 1: up with that, and then I got the blazer.

Speaker 3: in the head. Call of yours please?
