1
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:04,440
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, here we go.

2
00:00:04,559 --> 00:00:07,840
Speaker 2: It's the unnamed podcast for Monday, the second of December

3
00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:11,320
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four years December, yesh, yes.

4
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:15,680
Speaker 3: In December. So officially we are in the zone of

5
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:20,160
Speaker 3: kicking any sort of responsibility into twenty five even to February.

6
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:22,239
Speaker 3: Kick it to fair because no one's onything in jam

7
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:25,360
Speaker 3: are they Nah, Very little goes on in January. This

8
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:25,800
Speaker 3: is great.

9
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:27,640
Speaker 2: I think that's the thing about New Zealand. And that's

10
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 2: the thing about the Southern Hemisphere different than the Northern hemisphere.

11
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:33,320
Speaker 2: So with the Southern Hemisphere, obviously you've got the end

12
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 2: of year and the big Christmas holiday that comes up,

13
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:38,240
Speaker 2: so everyone has to have everything done by sort of

14
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 2: December mid December, and then after that everything shuts down

15
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 2: in New Zealand unless it's a tourist thing.

16
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:45,199
Speaker 3: It's end of the school year as well, because in

17
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 3: Europe into the school year is midyear.

18
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right into the school year. And then and

19
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 2: then you kick it through and then people kind of

20
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 2: start dribbling back into work probably the tenth fifteenth, the

21
00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 2: twentieth of January, but nothing really gets done half days. Yes,

22
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:04,399
Speaker 2: beautiful time of year to be going off work early

23
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 2: maybe you head down to the beach something like that.

24
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:10,040
Speaker 1: Grab some lunch ship and then February.

25
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 2: Then you've got the Then you've got the holidays that

26
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 2: come up in February. You've got White Thing, and you've

27
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:17,039
Speaker 2: got your Auckland Anniversary and your Wellington anniversary the week

28
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:20,399
Speaker 2: before that, and a whole lot of other anniversaries. So

29
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 2: it's not probably till mid feb Yeah, maybe early March.

30
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 2: Is that the thing with the southern hemisphere because in

31
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 2: the Northern Hemisphere, this period of Christmas is a completely

32
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 2: different thing.

33
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 3: It's only a maximum a week off maximum between Christmas

34
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:38,399
Speaker 3: and New Year, Yep, that is it. So from the

35
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 3: twenty fourth of December to the first of jan that's

36
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 3: the only holiday people take. Yeah, that's it, and you're

37
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:46,199
Speaker 3: back to work. You're back to work on jan second

38
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 3: or third. When I was over there, that's what you did.

39
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 3: The big holidays with your target were kind of July

40
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 3: August when the end of the school year. Yep, school holidays,

41
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 3: that's what your target. And now even then there's only three.

42
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 2: Weeks, but things don't stop the same, no, you know,

43
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 2: so I reckon it's actually a really because Christmas is

44
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 2: meant to be a Winter Solstice celebration, So that's a

45
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 2: whole idea of everybody being inside and having a meal

46
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 2: and you know, present giving and all that sort of stuff.

47
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,639
Speaker 2: It's an inside thing that's meant to last a couple

48
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:21,399
Speaker 2: of days. Ours extends out over Christmas and New Year

49
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 2: is the same thing. And because of that, it's just

50
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 2: such a different thing.

51
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:31,919
Speaker 1: I reckon it screws us.

52
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:35,079
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, the product devity must die. I mean, we're

53
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 3: a ten month a year business operation, aren't because for

54
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 3: two months we're checked out. I mean there's departments I

55
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 3: know within where we work and they have a brown out.

56
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 3: They call it a brown out, so it's not a

57
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:50,640
Speaker 3: full blackout, but it's a brown out where and you

58
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 3: don't accept any more work until the end of the year.

59
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 3: So we're not taking any more work until the end

60
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:57,360
Speaker 3: of the year because we can't deal with it. It's

61
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,359
Speaker 3: a brown out. And I was like, I love be

62
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 3: able to do that, just issue a brown out. So

63
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 3: at the ACC we officially announced that we're doing a

64
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 3: double brown out. So if you want to do any

65
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 3: work with us between now and New Year's Eve, you

66
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 3: have to stand in front of us and Boff double

67
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 3: brown dough Bro and then we'll talk to you. So

68
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 3: we've got the double double brown out.

69
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 1: It's quite good.

70
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's quite handy. Haven't had a dough bro for

71
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:20,360
Speaker 2: a while.

72
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 1: Actually, they're good.

73
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 3: It's a good four percenter.

74
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:23,800
Speaker 1: You know.

75
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,640
Speaker 3: It's a great fishing beer and a great golf beer,

76
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:28,799
Speaker 3: as is the Export Ultras. You look kind of around

77
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 3: that four percent. Whereas you don't want to be crafting

78
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 3: on a boat. You don't want to be crafted on

79
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 3: a golf course because you're talking a four or five

80
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 3: hour period where you've still got to keep your wits

81
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 3: about you. Whereas you're looking at that four percent range,

82
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 3: it's a real's that's your goaldielocks on.

83
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 1: Yeah.

84
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 2: The my best golf I've played in the last sort

85
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 2: of two years.

86
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 1: It was on quite a.

87
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 2: Few of those expert Ultras when we played at the Mount.

88
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 3: Oh, that's right.

89
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 2: And I knocked my first beer just before the first hole,

90
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 2: and then by a whole number four. I reckonize not

91
00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 2: about number four.

92
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 3: We also have the teeth. Time was they interested early.

93
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 1: Six forty A.

94
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 3: Golf courses are like airports. There is no time zone.

95
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 1: No exactly.

96
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 2: And I played that just relaxed into it and played

97
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 2: my best golf.

98
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 1: Yeah.

99
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 3: But also you've got to relieve yourself on a golf course,

100
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 3: and that's it's great to be a guy when you're

101
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 3: on a golf course because you can basically sidle up

102
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:22,279
Speaker 3: to any sort of tree and you know, relieve yourself.

103
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 3: Whereas there's not a lot of toilets.

104
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 1: No, certainly not at your golf course. What's mytha?

105
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 3: No? None, I mean, I can't believe they haven't got one.

106
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 3: But because that's a work.

107
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 1: If you're a female, what do you do.

108
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:34,720
Speaker 3: You got to wait for the turn, You've got to

109
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 3: come back to the turn to run into the clubhouse,

110
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:40,359
Speaker 3: which which I suppose. I mean, then admittedly they know

111
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:42,720
Speaker 3: that they're not pounding a dozen Expra Ultras on the

112
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:43,280
Speaker 3: front nine.

113
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's right. I think.

114
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 2: I think that's that's where the problems lie for us.

115
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, a little bit, A little bit. I mean, look,

116
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,480
Speaker 3: I mean I played Tata recently, lucky enough for November

117
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:56,679
Speaker 3: to go down there, and jeez, that was a heady

118
00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:01,359
Speaker 3: eighteen holes and even heatya nineteen holes. The nineteenth was

119
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:05,160
Speaker 3: who it was? It was interesting, Yeah, it was whiskey.

120
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:07,360
Speaker 3: There was whiskey coming out there were there was all

121
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 3: sorts and getting beers delivered to you on the course.

122
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 3: Like in America they have it's all about just having beers.

123
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 3: They've got carts that come around. Most holes would have

124
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 3: got a bar, cash bar on board, a fridge on it.

125
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 1: They did for us and I think it's awesome.

126
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 2: Well, remember when we used to play in the New

127
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 2: Zealand Cricket end of year celebration and they normally had

128
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 2: that in like April or something. Yeah, and and remember

129
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,280
Speaker 2: on that day, oh that was the New zealm was

130
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 2: that the Players Association Players Association And I remember Bears

131
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 2: McCullum coming around. He was in a golf cart one

132
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 2: year because I think he was injured and so he

133
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 2: couldn't play, he couldn't walk the course, but he was

134
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 2: just cruising around just giving out beers in the back

135
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 2: of the car.

136
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 3: It was just sensational, was that they was at the

137
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 3: time that we were with the fucking mana Express and you said,

138
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,119
Speaker 3: why don't you bowl me? You bowl me a golf

139
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:02,280
Speaker 3: ball and I will be batting with my six iron

140
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,719
Speaker 3: or something. Yeah, I was my putter, Yeah, your putter,

141
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:06,719
Speaker 3: And he goes and I remember saying, you man, just

142
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 3: send it down, send it down, because otherwise it's not

143
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:10,720
Speaker 3: gonna it's not look any good on socials if you

144
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 3: don't send it down. And he sent it down and

145
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 3: got you straight in the shin.

146
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:17,920
Speaker 1: Yeah. I tried to work him through midwicket.

147
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:20,599
Speaker 2: I saw it the whole way, and I was just like,

148
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 2: that's just that's that's bread and butter for me. Through midwicket.

149
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 2: Just got a little he got a little straight. But

150
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 2: unfortunately I was playing with the shaft of a putter. Yeah,

151
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:31,599
Speaker 2: and look, I'd probably not be able to hit it

152
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 2: even if I had a full with bat, and it

153
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:37,839
Speaker 2: got me right and underneath in the shin, Yeah, just

154
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 2: underneath the knee. It was just underneath the kneecap there

155
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:41,920
Speaker 2: where you've got nothing.

156
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:42,719
Speaker 3: It pegged off.

157
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:45,599
Speaker 4: He's the same kind of energy as the guy that

158
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 4: you were talking about on the SEC covers over the weekend,

159
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 4: boys that once got a little bit wasted and then

160
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 4: took a shirt off and started taking you know, cricket

161
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 4: balls to the shinder, stunts to the chest. Yeah, it's

162
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:55,599
Speaker 4: got a similar kind of energy.

163
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 3: I know I did that. You know that's I could

164
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 3: see we hear the similarities lie, but there was still

165
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:03,360
Speaker 3: two different things going on.

166
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 2: Ryan had done a little bit of keeping in the past,

167
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 2: but some of the pace that was getting delivered it

168
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 2: he was not quite prepared for and also had prepared

169
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 2: himself a little bit too much in another area and

170
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 2: so as a resulted. But when he was just taking

171
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 2: it to the body, yeah, I've never seen that before,

172
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 2: someone just putting their full chest ups. Ah.

173
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 3: It was like happy Gilmour a skin and happy Gilmourt

174
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 3: when he's training to know ice hockey and he gets

175
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 3: in front of the baseball cage. It was like that

176
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 3: with cricket balls behind the behind the wickets. Also that

177
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 3: game with the fucking Manter Express. I remember we got

178
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 3: an absolute dressing down for slowing down the course, you remember,

179
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 3: And then by the time we finished, it was dark

180
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 3: and we teed off on our last whole shotgun start

181
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 3: and I remember all of us teed off. No one

182
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 3: found the ball. It disappeared into the night sky and

183
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 3: it's called It was that the same year.

184
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 2: That it was you in Vry versus.

185
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 1: Me and Halty.

186
00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 3: Oh yes, and talked out of the last part.

187
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 2: And I felt like for Torri was there as well,

188
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 2: and I slids him out of You missed that. There's

189
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 2: a lot of pressure on him. Yeah, and we ended

190
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 2: up taking it on the last hole.

191
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, there was crumpled under the pressure.

192
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 2: Absolutely, and a bottle of tequila, yes, which we started drinking.

193
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 1: Sinces were up.

194
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 2: Anyway, we'll come back with more antics in just a moment.

195
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I've been twerking all more into this.

196
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 3: But you do it on Monday when you've you know,

197
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 3: you've got the remnants of the bag full of dingers

198
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 3: that you smashed in the weekend, and it's only really

199
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 3: Tuesday that things start to wear off, you start to

200
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:38,079
Speaker 3: sopped out, and you probably want to just end it all.

201
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 3: That's right. So Tuesdays and Mondays are okay. Mondays are

202
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 3: usually pretty good because you've still got a little bit

203
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 3: in the system, and you know, but Tuesdaysuesday, Wednesdays even

204
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:48,080
Speaker 3: these days, yeah, Wednesdays and.

205
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:48,560
Speaker 1: Can kick over.

206
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 2: It depends on whether it's a Friday night or a

207
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 2: Saturday night. If it's the Saturday night, you might get

208
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 2: a little bit of glow over into into the Monday,

209
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 2: and then, as you said, Tuesday's tough. Wednesday can also

210
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 2: be difficult. Wednesday morning. But if it's the Friday night

211
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:03,839
Speaker 2: you should.

212
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:03,959
Speaker 1: Be all done.

213
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 3: And Tuesday, yeah, you'd hope.

214
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 1: So Sarah starting to come back there.

215
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 2: You just don't find it a bit tough getting up

216
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:13,680
Speaker 2: every morning. That's how I feel you not so much.

217
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 2: But I think that's because you're young.

218
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 1: I just feel like, you know, why am I learning this?

219
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 1: It's the point, you know, that kind of gear. I

220
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:22,599
Speaker 1: feel that every morning. Oh yeah, okay, yeah, So I

221
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 1: don't know.

222
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:24,960
Speaker 4: I don't know if it's got anything to do directly

223
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 4: with you know, the Friday night situation and general.

224
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 2: But just the people that you're waking up too and

225
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:29,880

Speaker 3: Yes? Is he?

276
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 1: Because you can't find it anywhere online or any.

00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 3: No, we tried to do that, but he's still got

278
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 3: it in the archive somewhere. But yeah, he told us

279
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:50,960
Speaker 3: the sort of tale of that and potentially New Zealand's

280
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 3: first ever viral yeah content.

281
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's pretty freaky winning because obviously I was involved

282
00:11:56,760 --> 00:12:01,319
Speaker 2: in that too. What happened was just if you don't know,

283
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 2: pre social media, pre social media, we used to just

284
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 2: do a show called any Media Lunch. We had a

285
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:11,719
Speaker 2: cartoonist who used to work on the show. We independently

286
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 2: commission him to do cartoons, wouldn't really have anything to

287
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 2: do with him. His names Anthony Ellison, and he'd do

288
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:21,439
Speaker 2: a cartoon. He had a cartoon called Media Dog, and

289
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 2: the Media Dog would make comments, a very cynical kind

290
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 2: of dog character who would make comments about things that

291
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 2: were going on in the media. He did a cartoon

292
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 2: about Mike King that was not overly positive about Mike King,

293
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 2: and it had a dog watching TV and then Mike

294
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 2: King doing jokes on the TV and the dog not

295
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 2: laughing at all, and at the end it's the dog

296
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 2: then urinated himself and then said, oh, look, I just

297
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:55,440
Speaker 2: manufactured some p and Mike King took exception to that.

298
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 2: I think actually he was overseas at the time. I

299
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:00,040
Speaker 2: don't know about I don't know that for sure, but

300
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,559
Speaker 2: I think he was overseas. Maybe one of his friends

301
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:04,080
Speaker 2: called him up and said, I think they're saying something

302
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:08,960
Speaker 2: about you on the show, Mike. He maybe watched it

303
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 2: or somehow knew that Lee Baker worked on it. Lee

304
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 2: Baker knew him from comedy Circles. He had Lee Baker's

305
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 2: phone number, so he then called Lee Baker and left

306
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 2: a message on Lee's answer phone. Lee came into Hitting

307
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 2: media lunch with the answer phone message and here that

308
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 2: I've just got the most insane message from Mike King

309
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 2: on my phone and played it to us and we

310
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 2: all went, holy crap. It was quite a full on

311
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 2: message where Mike King basically threatened to beat us all up.

312
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:40,479
Speaker 1: And then.

313
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 2: I think from there, the way it went viral was

314
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 2: that I was working at the time at BFM, and

315
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 2: I was up there and I played it to someone

316
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:51,679
Speaker 2: at BFM. We're just playing it to people because it's like, Hey,

317
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 2: have you listen to Mike King going crazy? Mike King's

318
00:13:54,280 --> 00:14:00,319
Speaker 2: really getting angry here on this message. And because he

319
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:03,320
Speaker 2: wasn't a super popular figure at that time, Mike King,

320
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 2: he'd made a lot of enemies with people in comedy

321
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 2: circles just being a bit of a prack at times.

322
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:12,839
Speaker 2: And I think he will accept that he was a

323
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 2: bit of a preak in those days. And then I

324
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 2: played it some of the song said could I could

325
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 2: I have it or something? Or could I play it

326
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 2: on air? Could I play it somewhere? No, We're never

327
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 2: going to play it on air, but they just wanted it.

328
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 2: And then I said, yep, sure, but don't give it

329
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 2: to anyone, and then that person, then that person then

330
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 2: sends it to one person, and then within two hours

331
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 2: it was I had a guy from three News calling

332
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 2: me saying this Mike King message, it's everywhere. I was like,

333
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 2: oh my heart sunk. I was like, oh no, this

334
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 2: is a disaster. And then it was on the news

335
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 2: that night.

336
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 3: Yes, early, that was one of the that's the first

337
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 3: viral because it went only via email, didn't it Old

338
00:14:57,400 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 3: school email and emails even then were not.

339
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 4: Exactly you know, unfortunate irony there for Mike as well,

340
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 4: in the sense that he was, you know, the cartoon

341
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 4: was perhaps saying something about his tendencies and then to

342
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 4: react in such a way. It's not really doing yourself

343
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 4: any favors here, was it.

344
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 2: I'm not sure where he's ever. I think he's publicly

345
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 2: said that that was a time when he was possibly

346
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 2: taking drugs. I'm not sure he's said what he was taking. Okay,

347
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 2: I'm not sure that whether that's public information, but he

348
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 2: definitely said that he was going through a bad patch

349
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 2: in his life whatever, and sort of that was the

350
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:36,200
Speaker 2: that was the.

351
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 1: The dere moment.

352
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 3: So we covered that off to the wee hours of

353
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 3: the morning again, so raked over the coals and then

354
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 3: Lee Baker walked home. I'm not sure how long Tom

355
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 3: to walk home, you.

356
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 1: Live in the north Shore. And then I'm pretty sure

357
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 1: he's over the side of the bridge.

358
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 3: I believe so, oh yeah, I know. I think he

359
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 3: was staying with his sister. It was just it was

360
00:15:58,280 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 3: just down the road. But he said it was his

361
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 3: sister was I think I'm not too sure, but.

362
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 1: I haven't made like that. Yeah, the same thing, his

363
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 1: sister living in a different place.

364
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:10,400
Speaker 2: Now, yeah, yeah, that's a good one.

365
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 1: That one is.

366
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 2: Oh, that sounds like a good time. What about call

367
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 2: Stuart Forty is the best of us?

368
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 3: Oh?

369
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 1: Good to see him briefly.

370
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 3: He is the best of us. He's back on commentary

371
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 3: for the third test. He's like he's got he's a

372
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 3: man with priorities. Because I said, can you commentate the

373
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 3: basin reserve tests? He said, name, get fucked. I'm going

374
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 3: to watch it. I'm going to go to the ground.

375
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 1: Yeah.

376
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 2: He told a story yesterday about about when he proposed

377
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 2: to his partner Tracy, and that it was at the

378
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 2: basement reserve and and how he never missed a game

379
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 2: of cricket. And even despite that he was I think

380
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 2: he missed his own engagement party or something to go

381
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 2: to the cricket And someone who was on the commentary

382
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 2: is like, I think it was Actually Jason Hoyt was like,

383
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 2: oh great, your wife must have been really pleased that

384
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 2: you that you you know, proposed at the cricket and

385
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,879
Speaker 2: and that you missed missed your thing. And he said, no,

386
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 2: she's a massive cricket fan.

387
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:07,160
Speaker 1: I don't think he could.

388
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 2: Quite get his hit around that, yeah, and pull forward

389
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 2: to that's that's the reason that I married her, because

390
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:16,119
Speaker 2: she's the only person, only girl at that stage that

391
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:19,360
Speaker 2: over met who liked cricket as much as mate. And

392
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:21,160
Speaker 2: Jason Concord gives hit around that.

393
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 3: Well, he's not a big listeners, so it wouldn't have

394
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:26,879
Speaker 3: got through the fact that. Yeah, no, I think because

395
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:29,400
Speaker 3: I know the lovely Tracy and she is the biggest

396
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:31,719
Speaker 3: cricket fan, so she'd quite happily pulled the kids out

397
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:32,960
Speaker 3: and go to the five days at the base and

398
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:35,120
Speaker 3: pull him out of school go to the base.

399
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 1: She loves it.

400
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:38,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, Which they're a match made in heaven.

401
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 1: I feel like we all need some Tracy in our lives.

402
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:43,480
Speaker 3: Absolutely, she's the.

403
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:45,360
Speaker 1: Best of us. Yeah.

404
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 4: I feel like Jason Hoyt doesn't even love cricket anymore though,

405
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:50,520
Speaker 4: you know, so that's probably hit around that. It wasn't

406
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:52,720
Speaker 4: the fact that a woman liked cricket. I think it

407
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 4: was more of the fact that anyone loves cricket.

408
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:57,400
Speaker 1: It was dark yesterday, but I think it was because

409
00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 1: he forgot his nic career. He's more focused on getting

410
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 1: that's off.

411
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:03,879
Speaker 3: I've noticed it's like anything. He's like anything. He'll come

412
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 3: in for the big show and he's planning his exit.

413
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,119
Speaker 1: Yep, how can we get out of here? He's like

414
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 1: hosting and all great broadcasters, that's what they.

415
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:11,160
Speaker 3: Do, planning your exit.

416
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:14,359
Speaker 2: Always got your exit planned, yep, yep, that's part of it.

417
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:16,359
Speaker 1: Just like me right now. Really
