Speaker 1: Live from the Export Beer Garden studio and brought to
Speaker 1: you by Export Ultra, the beer for the rural community
Speaker 1: down there at the Field Days. This is the Agenda
Speaker 1: Podcast for Thursday, the thirteenth of June.
Speaker 2: The Agenda Podcast, the home of Sporting Nonsense and the
Speaker 2: clap Trap, brought to you by Export Vulture.
Speaker 3: Took us a while to get out of the Field
Speaker 3: Days yesterday, not as much as it took to get
Speaker 3: out of the v eighth and Topal. That was. That
Speaker 3: was the next level. I thought it was pretty slightly
Speaker 3: run the exit.
Speaker 1: Yes, I think, because my long suffering partner was looking
Speaker 1: at going down. Yeah, and I said to her that
Speaker 1: the move would be park up up the river a
Speaker 1: little bit. There's a bloke offering jet boat rides to
Speaker 1: the Field Days. You pretty much get out off the
Speaker 1: boat and walk straight into Mystery Creek.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I reckon that's probably the move.
Speaker 1: Forty bucks forty bucks for an hour of fifteen for
Speaker 1: a kids that return I don't think so that's a
Speaker 1: good point.
Speaker 3: I think surely that's returned. Nah, I don't think it is.
Speaker 3: That's what do you do with your car? If you well,
Speaker 3: then they get you on the way back down there. Ah,
Speaker 3: that's a been a dirty trick, like.
Speaker 1: Oh no, sorry, we full up mate, we can't take
Speaker 1: you back. We're only going one way.
Speaker 3: That's why that guy was walking.
Speaker 1: Oh yes, we did see a guy walking out massive
Speaker 1: lines of traffic and he's walking with his back. I
Speaker 1: presumed he'd had a barney with someone.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he did have him a Swan dry bag full
Speaker 3: of stuff, all the stuff he probably overspent. The messus like,
Speaker 3: what are you doing spinning two grand on Swan dry kit?
Speaker 3: You losing?
Speaker 1: Yeah, And then she would have gone, well, you know what,
Speaker 1: since you spend all that money, I'm going to go
Speaker 1: shopping myself. I'm like, well I want to leave, Well
Speaker 1: you can, but I'm driving all right?
Speaker 3: Fuck you on walking then in the middle of nowhere
Speaker 3: as well.
Speaker 1: It's something that only you know you see every now
Speaker 1: and then and you're like, I know exactly what's happened here.
Speaker 1: Is the only reason that someone could be walking up
Speaker 1: that road like that is because he's had a blood
Speaker 1: with the missus, similar to our dear friend Rory McElroy. Yes,
Speaker 1: that's called a segue in the industry. He had a
Speaker 1: divorce before. Was it the PGA Championship.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, he won. He won a tournament, and he
Speaker 3: broke out, won a tournament and then went to the
Speaker 3: us BGA yeap and didn't do too well, and we
Speaker 3: backed him. We're having post nut clarity, kind of post
Speaker 3: divorce clarity, hanging out with Tiger. Yeah, hitting the hooters,
Speaker 3: just clearing the mind, the body, and the soul. Yes,
Speaker 3: and he was going to clean up.
Speaker 1: Because in the same week, this was the same week
Speaker 1: that Scottish Scheffler also got arrested. Yeah, there was a
Speaker 1: meme going around, you know Brad Pitt from Moneyball, and
Speaker 1: there's the quote of him being like, fellas, you're still
Speaker 1: trying to recreate Tiger Woods. We can't do it, But
Speaker 1: what we can do is recreate him on the aggregate.
Speaker 1: So if we put Scotti Shifler, and we put man
Speaker 1: Rory mckel in there. The thing is, we thought this
Speaker 1: was a massive omen We're like, right, finally all these
Speaker 1: years of trup Like obviously things haven't been sweet. So
Speaker 1: now he's put that behind him, He's going to be
Speaker 1: playing his best golf.
Speaker 3: Little did we know that behind the scenes they're trying.
Speaker 1: To get back together. No, that's exactly what's come out today.
Speaker 1: He's back with the misses. They've been the divorce.
Speaker 3: We crushed our hunch, our tab hunch on him, are
Speaker 3: winning that tournament with the post nat clarity. Yeah. And
Speaker 3: like you said, if we had known all the facts, yes, Rory,
Speaker 3: that he was trying to get back with her. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And this is the problem when you get back with
Speaker 1: someone like this, because he will have told his friends.
Speaker 3: Hey, we've got a divorce. Yeah.
Speaker 1: There would have been at least one friend who'd always
Speaker 1: had that bitch. I'm so glad you got the divorce.
Speaker 3: I'm that guy. And then they.
Speaker 1: Get back together and you're like, fuck, I just told
Speaker 1: him that I hated his missus.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but yes, way to get I've done that. Yeah.
Speaker 3: The way to get it goes like I was just
Speaker 3: trying to make you feel good to me. She's a
Speaker 3: great lady, you belong together. I was just trying to
Speaker 3: support you because if you made the decision, I was like, yeah,
Speaker 3: fuck fuck that. But yeah, so or you just double.
Speaker 1: Down and go, what she sucks, You're idiot. I told
Speaker 1: you she sucks. I told you she sucks.
Speaker 3: I'm out. I'm out.
Speaker 1: I think I think this is only going to have
Speaker 1: a negative impact on his skulf surely.
Speaker 3: Yeah, now he's got He's probably made some compromises as well.
Speaker 3: I imagine, like all relationships. I mean, I've been through
Speaker 3: it myself in the last ten you make some concessions.
Speaker 3: You have to make some concessions. And that's only going
Speaker 3: to be bad for Macroy.
Speaker 1: One hundred percent, because what happens is down the track
Speaker 1: they're going to have a small argument about something silly.
Speaker 1: He put the bins out, sure, but he didn't put
Speaker 1: the tag on it, so the council didn't collect the
Speaker 1: bin anything from experience.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 1: This is just a hypothetical that could be something that
Speaker 1: may have happened. You know, why do you always leave
Speaker 1: it up to me to this Stuff's going to come up,
Speaker 1: mindy rubbish. He will say something to her and then
Speaker 1: she'll go, well, you fucking divorce me.
Speaker 3: You know you started it.
Speaker 1: For the rest of his life, he will have this
Speaker 1: on her or vice versa. I don't know who initiated it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's true. So whichever way it is, they're always
Speaker 3: going to have that in their back pocket. He may suck,
Speaker 3: he might suck. Yeah, the long.
Speaker 1: And short of it is whichever way around, it can
Speaker 1: only impact his golf negatively. He's not going to come
Speaker 1: up with a laser sharp focus.
Speaker 3: I had a friend who's come back me, and he's
Speaker 3: always doubted his ability to close out tournaments in the
Speaker 3: last ten years or so. Your friend. Yeah, and and
Speaker 3: he's also said he can't even close out a divorce. Yeah,
Speaker 3: that's true. That's Stephen Maytha. You sent me there. He
Speaker 3: was like ABC, always be closing, always clo always be closing,
Speaker 3: couldn't close. The got very close and at fell apart
Speaker 3: last minute, and now he's back with it. He look
Speaker 3: from the bottom of my heart. I hope that he's happy.
Speaker 3: I hope she's happy. Everything's worked themselves out. I hope
Speaker 3: they live a long and happy, healthy life together. I
Speaker 3: reckon they won't. I hope they do too. I just can't.
Speaker 3: I just can't see. It's trying to be a bit genuine.
Speaker 1: And the victims here are us, the gambling public, because
Speaker 1: we were honey dicked into thinking here.
Speaker 3: Comes Rory bachelor. Rory is going to be on one.
Speaker 1: He's out of hurt as a tiger the night before
Speaker 1: he's coming.
Speaker 3: And you know what, do you reckon? I was going
Speaker 3: to say to m the US Open.
Speaker 1: He puts you, Now, it's just me and John Dailey
Speaker 1: around at the hooders were supposed to be there.
Speaker 3: Charlie Woods is probably even shaking his head. You see,
Speaker 3: he's the swing He's Tiger's swing coach. Now is that
Speaker 3: as I mean? Does Tiger need a swing coach? Probably not.
Speaker 3: I think it's just one of those things where you
Speaker 3: want to you're allowed to have a team around you
Speaker 3: at the US Open. Yeah, you give a caddy, you
Speaker 3: have a manager, you have a swing coach, and you
Speaker 3: have a nutrition coach. Whatever, you're allowed to wider squad.
Speaker 3: He's gone, hey, Charlie, you want to be in a
Speaker 3: swing coach.
Speaker 1: He's like totally, that's exactly what he's done. It is
Speaker 1: Kaylon Pong is dad working for the night. It's just like,
Speaker 1: let's make up a bullshit title. We'll bring this guy in.
Speaker 1: What's some Steve Henson's job over at the rugby director Yeah,
Speaker 1: director of rugby operations or something like that.
Speaker 3: And it's like he's not the coach, Nat, but he's
Speaker 3: just I can call naggy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, pretty much. He's got he's got a roller dicks.
Speaker 1: That's actually what it is because he that's where Joe
Speaker 1: Muno is going.
Speaker 3: So I think I'll tak nug he got him on
Speaker 3: cer it.
Speaker 1: That's no good to me, Nuggy, He's no good, Maggie.
Speaker 3: I need a phone number, another cell phone. I need
Speaker 3: a landline. Yeah, that is exactly what they paid him for.
Speaker 1: And that's why Charlie's the swing coach as well, because
Speaker 1: it's like, who kiss, we're talking about poaching players from
Speaker 1: rugby league to rugby union again. If there's any young
Speaker 1: broadcasters out there listening, that's how you do a segue.
Speaker 1: Carter Gordon has signed with the Titans.
Speaker 3: Outrageous. I mean, obviously they the Titans know something that
Speaker 3: I don't because I saw Carter Gordon play against the Hurricanes.
Speaker 3: He had a shocking first half here. And he's not
Speaker 3: a big guy because in the league it's a totally
Speaker 3: different body shape, Like everyone's pretty much the same size
Speaker 3: in terms of height. They're not tall, No, they're not tall.
Speaker 3: They're like bump into Steve Price. I'm taller than Steve Price.
Speaker 3: I mean wide, don't get me wrong, he is, how
Speaker 3: but most of the players are except about two positions,
Speaker 3: which is the halves yeah, generally if fullback's quite tall.
Speaker 3: And yeah, but the fullback these days have to be
Speaker 3: quite big because you're running it back like you are
Speaker 3: running it back from those kicks, and you can't be
Speaker 3: Terry Wright. Yeah, you've got to be like Charms. He's
Speaker 3: a solid unit. He's a unit. Yeah, he's a total unit.
Speaker 3: And so yeah, I don't know where they're going to
Speaker 3: put card of Gordon and he doesn't strike me as
Speaker 3: someone and go he'd be good at league. No, I
Speaker 3: get the The thing is, so he's a pivot in union.
Speaker 3: If he's a pivot in league, he'd be a half back.
Speaker 1: I think maybe that, But it's quite full on to
Speaker 1: throw the keys of your franchise to a guy who
Speaker 1: has just come over from a different sport. You know
Speaker 1: what I mean, it's quite it'd be quite a steep
Speaker 1: learning curve. Having said that, they are two very similar games.
Speaker 1: The Australian and New Zealand accents of sport.
Speaker 3: Maybe well maybe we don't know. Maybe Carda Gordon grew
Speaker 3: up plainly Yeah, probably, you know what I mean, Like
Speaker 3: I have no background there. I'm just saying just from
Speaker 3: his rugby rugby career, it doesn't strike me as the
Speaker 3: kind of guy you grab him chuck into a vegan environment.
Speaker 3: We had I had heard this rumor quite a few times.
Speaker 1: Was it? Am I right in thinking he was the
Speaker 1: only first five that Eddie Jones took over the World Cup?
Speaker 3: I think he was.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they did only take one, which is what it was,
Speaker 1: such a slap in the face to Quade Cooper, which
Speaker 1: where we left it so much.
Speaker 3: I mean, Quake Koper for me, would I'd say, okay,
Speaker 3: you'd have a go at league. Oh'd be all right,
Speaker 3: he'd be a great fallback. Yeah, so yes, I'd say,
Speaker 3: Hamma wouldn't be surprised. But Carda Gordon, I don't know
Speaker 3: unless he goes over summer, eats a thousand chickens protein
Speaker 3: shakes and puts on another fifteen kgs MM test them. Yeah,
Speaker 3: just cart Gordon, Yeah, just see some dirty bulking.
Speaker 1: It's like in the NBA in the off season, all
Speaker 1: of the fir rookies, every single one of them, without fail,
Speaker 1: puts on fifteen pounds of muscle, not fourteen, not twenty,
Speaker 1: not ten. Fifteen pounds. Time is because anything over there
Speaker 1: is beyond the limit of a human body to put
Speaker 1: on in enough season so they always say you put
Speaker 1: on fifteen pounds, but he probably put on thirty. But
Speaker 1: they don't want to be like, you know, he's put
Speaker 1: on more muscle because then they test them. Yeah, same
Speaker 1: thing when a white guy dunks in the NBA. Next day,
Speaker 1: random drug tests every type, every single type. White guy
Speaker 1: dunks all of a sudden, the what are they called
Speaker 1: the ustata show up the next day.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I list in this cup here, mate, what's that guy, McClung.
Speaker 3: He didn't he win the dunk competition? Mack mclung, Yeah,
Speaker 3: yeah he did. He must be tested every week.
Speaker 1: He was in the G League at that point when
Speaker 1: actually I think the A team signed him to like
Speaker 1: a ten day contractor so he could go and play,
Speaker 1: go and do the dunk contest.
Speaker 3: Would you rather be a bench player in the NBA
Speaker 3: who hardly gets any time, just warm in the pine
Speaker 3: and doing high fives and waving yeah, wave your towel around,
Speaker 3: or would you be back to back NBA All Star
Speaker 3: Slam Dunk Competition winner and playing the G League? Oh?
Speaker 1: NBA, I think NBA really yeah?
Speaker 3: Not getting any game time. You might get a couple
Speaker 3: of minutes a season.
Speaker 1: And he's getting your ass busted, and yeah, that would
Speaker 1: be pretty brutal. The guys in the G League as well, though,
Speaker 1: there's always a guy in the G League is scored
Speaker 1: like averaging like forty something points because they're all looking
Speaker 1: out for themselves.
Speaker 3: Two times Dunk Champ and you're always in contention, but
Speaker 3: you're back to back, you could go three like yeah, yeah, talking,
Speaker 3: you're Nationwide TV. You're probably gonna get sponsorship out of
Speaker 3: the back of it. You differently cot a sponsor. You
Speaker 3: kick ass at dunking, dunking, you're doing fucking between the
Speaker 3: leagues behind the head and the hope.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, No, I think I'm still going in the league. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think you just get I mean, what the minimum
Speaker 1: salaries and million dollars a year, so that's already on
Speaker 1: quite decent money.
Speaker 3: No one's no one's cueuing out to sponsor you, though,
Speaker 3: are they. No, they're not, they're not.
Speaker 1: But I mean, I guess I could play for the
Speaker 1: Tall Blacks. I suppose if you and the Dunk contest,
Speaker 1: you could play for the till Blacks too. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: just would like to have NBA player on my ceving.
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm going dunk You're going dunk. I'm going dunk
Speaker 3: because I reckon. You've got longevity in your career because
Speaker 3: you're like three times two time World Dunk champ and
Speaker 3: you can just head down and do some dunks down
Speaker 3: at Big Park. Yeah, for ten grand for a sponsor. Meanwhile,
Speaker 3: you're sponsored by up the Young End. You're pretty much
Speaker 3: It is a good You're rickey Bobby for the rest
Speaker 3: of your life. You cover it in like yeah, and
Speaker 3: you just show up and you do your dunk on.
Speaker 3: You could travel the world doing that, genuinely. Yeah, And
Speaker 3: I don't reckon. Many people would remember when I show
Speaker 3: it on the bench for the Timberwolves who played no minutes, Yeah,
Speaker 3: and the twenty four but you remember and I Stuart
Speaker 3: who won back to back All Stars Slam Dunk competition.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I'll tell you what, if we want a championship,
Speaker 1: I'd make a name for myself at the parade, but.
Speaker 3: You'd have your ring. You'd be walking around with your ring.
Speaker 1: One hundred percent. I ran two half marathons and I
Speaker 1: wear the metal still to under your T shirt right
Speaker 1: now under my T shirt. My missus hates it because
Speaker 1: when I get up to go to go piss in
Speaker 1: the middle of the night, the jingling wakes her up.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I'd go in there, you'd go, I'm going
Speaker 3: to slam dunk you do. Yeah, I quite like that.
Speaker 3: All right, let's take a quick break.
Speaker 1: Then when we come back, We've got a new segment
Speaker 1: that I've been wanting to do for a while. I
Speaker 1: figure the Super Rugby Semifinals are as good a time
Speaker 1: as any to.
Speaker 3: Do it, So we'll debut that right after this.
Speaker 1: Ever, something that blokes like to do lane sitting around
Speaker 1: at the pub and a car on the way back
Speaker 1: from the field days as we did yesterday, Off is
Speaker 1: wak off. And so for today's podcast, we're going to
Speaker 1: work off for the next seavenk No, it is just
Speaker 1: talk about old players, dudes considered a pub and just
Speaker 1: list old rugby battlers for hours on end. And so
Speaker 1: I wanted to take a look back at some of
Speaker 1: the great Super Rugby teams for Throwback Thursday.
Speaker 3: This week.
Speaker 1: I wanted to go back to the last time that
Speaker 1: these teams have played each other in the semifinals, and
Speaker 1: we'll do it.
Speaker 3: Again next week before the final. So the last time.
Speaker 1: That the Canes met the Chiefs in the semi Finals
Speaker 1: of Super Rugby was in twenty sixteen. That was the
Speaker 1: year that the Canes won it, and the teams back then.
Speaker 1: I actually was surprised by how some of the Chiefs
Speaker 1: team was, how many players are still there, because twenty
Speaker 1: sixteen is, you know, eight years ago. It is a
Speaker 1: long time ago. It feels like it was just last year,
Speaker 1: but it was a long time ago. So let me
Speaker 1: run through the Chiefs team first. Damien McKenzie.
Speaker 3: He must have been so young. Yeah, he must have
Speaker 3: been just twenty maybe or twenty one, twenty two.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he does kind of feel like he's been around forever,
Speaker 1: but yeah, he must have been. Sam McNichol never heard
Speaker 1: of him, No, never set that to money Valu was
Speaker 1: in at center.
Speaker 3: Anton Lennart Brown was at sickond five, very young and
Speaker 3: young young.
Speaker 1: Doe bro Yes, Irish winger James Lowe was still on
Speaker 1: the wing for the Chiefs at that point.
Speaker 3: In the first five. Was none other than Aaron Cruden.
Speaker 1: Yep fondly TKB was the half back. Tom Sanders, sam
Speaker 1: Kin and Tallna Sue were the loose Ford trio.
Speaker 3: Not a great loose fortrum obviously sam Kin, but Tom
Speaker 3: Sanders and Sue. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Brady Hallet Yeah, was in there alongside Dominic Birds. A
Speaker 1: great second row are two morally, Nathan Harris and Caine Eames.
Speaker 3: We're in the front row with.
Speaker 1: A bench of Hiker Elliott, Sigfried, Fishy Hoy, Mitch Graham,
Speaker 1: Lachlan Boucher, yep Ta, Vita Coloa, Ma, Tongey, Brad Weber,
Speaker 1: and Tony Pulu. And Shooter Stephenson was on the bench
Speaker 1: as well.
Speaker 3: Ah, so very young Shooter Stephenson. Yeah. Like not the
Speaker 3: on paper, not the greatest Chiefs lineup, if I'm honest.
Speaker 1: No, it's a far cry from the back to back Chiefs.
Speaker 1: But I think it's interesting looking at this the team
Speaker 1: this weekend and how many of those dudes have been
Speaker 1: in this team for so long.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Doughbro McKenzie, Stephenson, Yeah, I didn't. I had no
Speaker 3: idea that Stevenson was in there. Nathan Harris is still
Speaker 3: in the widest squad as well, is he Chiefs.
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah right, so a lot of a lot of continuity
Speaker 1: there at the Chiefs. Unfortunately they did go down to
Speaker 1: the eventual champions, the Hurricanes.
Speaker 3: So hit me with the Hurricanes old schools.
Speaker 1: I love this It starts with what all aired podcaster
Speaker 1: and Crusader's assistant coach, James Marshall.
Speaker 3: Not the cricketing James Marshall, not the curly headed James Marshall,
Speaker 3: not the twin. No, James Marshall was the fallback that year.
Speaker 1: Cory Jane was on one week Yeah, Matt Proctor was
Speaker 1: the center. Willis Halahulla was the second five. Jason Woodward
Speaker 1: on the other on. Boden Barrett of course was the
Speaker 1: first five. TJ Petnada yep. Who will be playing this
Speaker 1: weekend as well? The loose Ford trio is powerful. Victor Vito,
Speaker 1: Ardie Savia, Brad Shields Jesus that is.
Speaker 3: Mighty well you got Shields is playing in this weekend. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I think he's off the bench again. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Victor Veto's shirtless in an aired going around social media
Speaker 1: at the moment, which I actually quite like. Michael Faziolofa
Speaker 1: and via Fa feder were the second rowers. He had
Speaker 1: a very he was via Fa Fedo I thought was
Speaker 1: one of those unlucky sort of Yeah.
Speaker 3: His nickname is ten foot for feeder on the ACC
Speaker 3: and I think he sees he did pretty early.
Speaker 1: Yeah, That's one of those ones where he sort of
Speaker 1: saw the riding on the wall was like, I don't
Speaker 1: think I'm going to a lockdown either a six or
Speaker 1: a second row.
Speaker 3: Probably why is actually at the time because you had
Speaker 3: white lock and retallic as well in those locking stocks.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and Dogrell, Yeah, who you know? Dog Roll played
Speaker 1: all of the positions that Via Fafeeda did, Ben made,
Speaker 1: Ricky Ricottelli Lonnie Uhila were the front row.
Speaker 3: Ben made an absolute monster.
Speaker 1: Ricky Rickattelli with a South African flag next to his name,
Speaker 1: interesting that he was South African. Yeah, and again didn't
Speaker 1: realize he was playing that long ago. Yeah, Ricky Rickattelly
Speaker 1: the for the Canes, Lenny Uppy side it was on
Speaker 1: the bench alongside Chris Eves, Mike King and Mark Abbott,
Speaker 1: Tony Lambon, Jamison Gibson Park, Vince Usall and Julian Savia
Speaker 1: was on the bench for that.
Speaker 3: Vince Usall and I.
Speaker 1: Seem to remember Savia came on relatively early.
Speaker 3: Mandela effects.
Speaker 1: But anyway, those were the teams the last time that
Speaker 1: the Hurricanes played the Chiefs, and again the Hurricanes won
Speaker 1: quite handled as well. Twenty five verse nine only the
Speaker 1: three penalties, Yeah to Damien McKenzie. And what a year
Speaker 1: that was for the Hurricanes. So they take each other
Speaker 1: on on Saturday night. You'll be commentating that one on
Speaker 1: Saturday afternoon thirty.
Speaker 3: Yep, they've moved to accommodate the Warriors. But have you
Speaker 3: heard what the Hurricanes have said? We prefer to play
Speaker 3: in the afternoons. Of course, it's like, come on, Dex, No,
Speaker 3: you don't just say it. You prefer playing at seven,
Speaker 3: you prefer people watching you on sky. That's right, That
Speaker 3: is right. Let's not call it anything other than what
Speaker 3: it is.
Speaker 1: Brumbi's versus the Blues. Okay, this one is as exciting
Speaker 1: as you thought it might be. The last time they
Speaker 1: played each other in the semifinals was in two thousand
Speaker 1: and three, on the way to the blues last legitimate
Speaker 1: Super Rugby title.
Speaker 3: They didn't they play each other a couple of years ago,
Speaker 3: but it was all the same. They played each other
Speaker 3: in twenty two. Yeah, that's boring it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So I've come back to two thousand and three
Speaker 1: the Blues and that year they were unstoppable forty two
Speaker 1: to twenty one. Let me read you through their scene.
Speaker 1: This is why they were unstoppable that two thousand and
Speaker 1: three team. Incredible, Doug Hawllett Dougie style at the back.
Speaker 1: He scored a try in that gameca Gear Mills, Mully
Speaker 1: in it, slamming Sammy too. Topo was in there, Joe one.
Speaker 1: That's a that's a back line. You got rock O'thoco.
Speaker 1: That's basically an all black. I mean they all were
Speaker 1: all blacks in their own rights, but that is almost
Speaker 1: an all black back line. Steve Divine in there underneath
Speaker 1: the Australian flag. He would go on to represent the
Speaker 1: All Blacks as well. Xavier Rush was number eight, Daniel Braid,
Speaker 1: Justin Collins fake Jerry Collins.
Speaker 3: Was in there.
Speaker 1: Ali Williams was in the second row alongside Angus McDonald.
Speaker 1: The front row consisted of Deacon mun Who, Kevin me
Speaker 1: Lamu and the Mighty Case Mews.
Speaker 3: That is good. That's a good team.
Speaker 1: That is a powerful team. They had Tony Woodcock on
Speaker 1: the bench and Meek and Brad Meeker. David Gibson ARENI
Speaker 1: I E in the least tense.
Speaker 3: This tell you they're my favorite. Arena Ie Sledge at
Speaker 3: a Blues game when he came on, he knocked it
Speaker 3: on and guy to stood up went, you know what
Speaker 3: your problem as a renae too many vows, not enough consonants.
Speaker 3: It was the smartest sledge I've ever heard. It didn't
Speaker 3: get the credit it deserved. I was like I was,
Speaker 3: and everyone else is like, shut up, deck kid.
Speaker 1: You wouldn't want to play that guy at scrabble. He'd
Speaker 1: kick your ass when he pulls out a reny ie
Speaker 1: for Brumby Wise, I'm looking. I want Stephen Larkhams, I
Speaker 1: want Gregan's.
Speaker 3: I know it's.
Speaker 1: Actually a little but disappointing. There's a few of those
Speaker 1: players not missing. I was in my mind again, Mendela effect.
Speaker 1: I was imagining the your mortlocks you it was not
Speaker 1: in this team. Uh the team reads lastly Joe Roff.
Speaker 3: Oh, that's right, real he was kind of a he
Speaker 3: was a real Metell stark of a man a. Yeah,
Speaker 3: quite a lot of pock marks. Yeah, Joe Roff was
Speaker 3: at the back.
Speaker 1: Damien Mcmackinellly, Joel Wilson, Pat Howard, Mark Girard Mark Bartholomew.
Speaker 1: This is not the Brumbies backline. You're thinking, no, and
Speaker 1: presumably that's why they got humped. Now, we get into
Speaker 1: the good stuff. George Greganye was in there, halfback, Scott Father,
Speaker 1: George Smith, Oh yeah, open side flanker, so mighty Hawdawer,
Speaker 1: Dan Vickerman, I was a lot, David Griffin, Ben Dow
Speaker 1: and Jeremy Paul.
Speaker 3: Yes, the hooker. The hooker.
Speaker 1: He was a Kewi. Yeah, remains a key. He lives
Speaker 1: in Australia. It's quite funny. I am in a past
Speaker 1: life from the mainstream media. Had quite a few dealings
Speaker 1: with him, and on Rugby seven on PlayStation he had
Speaker 1: like a ninety something speed rating. So whenever we were
Speaker 1: picking teams, it was a race to get Jeremy Paul
Speaker 1: because we're like, there's some sort of glitch in the
Speaker 1: system where he's as fast as Doug hell than on
Speaker 1: this game. And so when I talked to him one day,
Speaker 1: I was just like, Jeremy, like I told him the
Speaker 1: whole story about Rugby seven. I was like, who did
Speaker 1: you pay off for EA Sports to get that rating?
Speaker 1: And he was just like go back and watch the
Speaker 1: tape mate. I was fucking quick. So yeah, Jeremy Ball
Speaker 1: was in there. Bill Young was the front rather bench
Speaker 1: basically Justin Harrison was on the bench.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, funk Houser funk Houses doing the commentary at the.
Speaker 1: And so that was the tame so again, yeah, it
Speaker 1: was a far cry so Thekman that that would they
Speaker 1: have come in.
Speaker 3: No, I think that'd gone by done by then. Yeah,
Speaker 3: because that's what I remember. He's stealing more locks her
Speaker 3: unless they were injured.
Speaker 1: Unless so potentially the final score line in that one
Speaker 1: was forty two plays twenty one.
Speaker 3: So I think that's going to be I think it's
Speaker 3: going to be a similar score. Yeah, I think I
Speaker 3: think it's going to be similar. I think it'll be
Speaker 3: pretty high scoring. Blues on paper look a lot better. Yeah,
Speaker 3: we'll get into that tomorrow. We will get into that tomorrow.
Speaker 3: So yeah, Throwback Thursday. I like it.
Speaker 1: Just blokes sitting around talking about old footy players. I
Speaker 1: think this is I think we're a want to hear.
Speaker 1: We have a mountain of voicemails to get through, so
Speaker 1: we're going to take a quick break.
Speaker 3: We'll be back with yours Please, yours please. Brought to
Speaker 3: you by Leader.
Speaker 1: For new listeners to the podcast, this is your opportunity
Speaker 1: to get involved. We have a microphone button on the
Speaker 1: iHeartRadio app so you go to the podcast, you click
Speaker 1: the microphone button, you record a message.
Speaker 3: I think the limits thirty seconds. It is yeah, which
Speaker 3: is good. Actually otherwise I think some of these could
Speaker 3: go on.
Speaker 1: Yes, they could, so without any further ado, let's get
Speaker 1: into them. Call the one yours please, Yeah, you get there.
Speaker 5: Mary, first time call a long time listener. I'm heading
Speaker 5: along to the bluest Bromies game this afternoon this Friday.
Speaker 5: Put myself take it thirty five bucks, probably in the
Speaker 5: wet in Auckland. It's going to be pissing with rain
Speaker 5: and I'm looking forward to, you know, buy my round
Speaker 5: boys forty five bucks. Some water down spates can't be today.
Speaker 5: The live experience of rugby can't beat it. Hello, Fox
Speaker 5: South Canterbury.
Speaker 3: I'm hearing it. I'm here and look I've just looked
Speaker 3: at the forecast. He is right. It's thunderstorms possibly overnight,
Speaker 3: but it's become more persistent and heavier late evening, so
Speaker 3: that might get away with it. Actually you might just
Speaker 3: get away with it before the game, but it's unless
Speaker 3: it comes a bit earlier. But rain developing this afternoon.
Speaker 3: I didn't know that that. I hadn't even bothered looking.
Speaker 3: The wet has been so good the last few days.
Speaker 3: I've just presumed that's going to change the dynamic.
Speaker 1: Of this match, you think, so, yeah, in favor of Thees,
Speaker 1: you think they like the wet.
Speaker 3: I just don't know if the Blues like the wet.
Speaker 1: They don't seem to. For a team that plays in
Speaker 1: the wet quite often.
Speaker 3: I don't know. They've just got backs then that like
Speaker 3: to be a bit of rares dares. Yeah they do, so,
Speaker 3: I don't know. I didn't know that. But yeah, look,
Speaker 3: God bless you for getting a ticket and going along.
Speaker 3: I'm sure the Blues will appreciate it. Admittedly that the
Speaker 3: experience at Eton Park has got a lot better. They've
Speaker 3: put a lot more show lights in. They have a
Speaker 3: band going around stuff like that, but a marching band. Yeah,
Speaker 3: but like we see it, I think the crux of
Speaker 3: it you mentioned that experience relies in your f and B.
Speaker 3: So yeah, once once, and don't say you're going to
Speaker 3: save Crafty and that makes the experience better. It doesn't.
Speaker 3: It's not.
Speaker 1: It's the price, yeah, and that's that's them trying to
Speaker 1: justify the price, like, oh we've got these Crafty's on.
Speaker 1: It's like, no, I don't want that. About a five
Speaker 1: dollar count of ex that's exactly what I want, and
Speaker 1: let me not. I don't want to miss the game
Speaker 1: to get them either. You know, if I'm sitting with
Speaker 1: three of my mates, one of us should be able
Speaker 1: to shoot up and come back and just miss a
Speaker 1: couple of phases of play.
Speaker 3: How about a canny Export ultra and a bag of
Speaker 3: snack of chenis for six bucks and a top halftime Yeah,
Speaker 3: and just get sit back to you. That's what you gets.
Speaker 3: That's the game they package. Maybe it's including your ticket
Speaker 3: and a leisure club hootie.
Speaker 1: Yeah, ten bucks and be account and free delivery from
Speaker 1: deliveries the next morning breakfast and look.
Speaker 3: And if you're building your home, we could put in
Speaker 3: some fully in slanted concrete foundations from Max Raff. Well
Speaker 3: we could tell you what two birds one stone.
Speaker 1: We could renovate it and park for them as well
Speaker 1: and put fully in slated concrete foundations.
Speaker 3: I think we've got all bases covered. Well, good luck
Speaker 3: to you tonight, Good on you for going along tomorrow tomorrow.
Speaker 6: Not sorry, we're all at seat. Another caller here yours,
Speaker 6: please just a quick one in regards to beers at
Speaker 6: the footy. Why don't I say selling the full forty
Speaker 6: mili cans because it's like a thirty percent increase from
Speaker 6: the three.
Speaker 3: Thirty mil cans.
Speaker 6: Lower the price by a couple of bucks, and you've
Speaker 6: got yourself a winner.
Speaker 7: You know.
Speaker 1: You can order two or three at a time heavy days,
Speaker 1: and then you're not lining up so often.
Speaker 3: I don't know, just the thought.
Speaker 1: Cheers.
Speaker 3: I like you thinking. Actually for me, it works in
Speaker 3: the winter because beer doesn't get cold, yeah, get warm? Sorry, yeah,
Speaker 3: I actually with the big King cans is when you've
Speaker 3: got them in your hand and they do get warm. Yeah,
Speaker 3: that bottom third, so they'll need to come with some
Speaker 3: sort of curly Oh we can sort that, yeah, I
Speaker 3: mean we can sort the curly little aces. We used
Speaker 3: to make gloves for beer festivals. Yes, right, we had
Speaker 3: the drinking gloves. Yeah, yeah, to stop your beer getting warm.
Speaker 3: I like it. But you know what, there be some
Speaker 3: licensing bullshit around size of your drink. At Mount Smart
Speaker 3: you can get four forty your cans.
Speaker 1: Yeah, of a competitors product that I shan't name, But
Speaker 1: I think I think that I do genuinely think that
Speaker 1: that's a good idea. Yeah, more volume than you don't
Speaker 1: have to get up as often. I'd go as far
Speaker 1: as say the five hundred milk cans. Have you seen
Speaker 1: those stacker cups. We tried to get some in. We're
Speaker 1: basically they're big plastic caps with a.
Speaker 3: Handle on the side, so you don't you don't have
Speaker 3: your hand around the cup making it warm. And then
Speaker 3: you can stack them on top of each other so
Speaker 3: you can bring back ten beers if you want, stacked
Speaker 3: on top of and the handle clips into the top handle. No,
Speaker 3: I haven't seen them. The stack cups. They're fucking great.
Speaker 3: South Africa have nailed it. Have you any game in
Speaker 3: South Africa? You see they're all got the stack cups.
Speaker 3: It's like a mini jug.
Speaker 1: Oh and if the trade offers I've got to put
Speaker 1: up with the vouvuzela, then so bad.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you pay a depositive start, but fuck, I mean
Speaker 3: they make rent you at festivals for those stupid plastic cups.
Speaker 1: Anyway, Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think the four to forty
Speaker 1: mili can is a great idea. I just hope, because
Speaker 1: I'm terrible with maths that when he said that it's
Speaker 1: ten percent more.
Speaker 3: That he's right. Because if he's not, the people will
Speaker 3: come for him.
Speaker 1: In the voicemails, we are sticklers for mathematics here.
Speaker 3: On this podcast, or we aren't.
Speaker 1: We aren't, but the wider audiences you and I personally atrocious.
Speaker 1: I once added what nine and six together to get eighteen?
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was quite something. And then you add it
Speaker 3: together again and still got it wrong.
Speaker 1: Got fourteen? Yeah, I got further away. Yeah, math not
Speaker 1: my strong suit. Another caller here, your splits.
Speaker 3: When I'm driving downtown with the girl and I'm like,
Speaker 3: fucked up.
Speaker 1: Terway, okay, uh sello gret in there. I like to
Speaker 1: think that that's someone saying welcome back to the podcast
Speaker 1: man after being away.
Speaker 3: From as I interpret that, it's the same thing. Another
Speaker 3: caller here, you're spits.
Speaker 4: These are courtside rugby field seat ticket things. Is that
Speaker 4: not similar to the KFC box that have done a
Speaker 4: lead the park? If you guys did want it to
Speaker 4: be a lot better?
Speaker 2: A little bit of a.
Speaker 4: Beer lounge, live commentary, live commentary, lounge, got fuck cramming
Speaker 4: the caravan, even cramming the caravan. A couple of exports,
Speaker 4: couple of toppers, been of mischief.
Speaker 3: Yeah, look, I mean the KC thing is fine. It's
Speaker 3: like it's just like a little container that fits twenty
Speaker 3: people and put it in the worst spot though. It
Speaker 3: was on the corner. I'm talking proper sideline. I'm talking
Speaker 3: like you are sitting next to the players like this
Speaker 3: ifing and blinding, the coaches yelling, like there's chaos all
Speaker 3: around you like the NBA. Yes, yeah, and maybe on
Speaker 3: the other side where there aren't the players, that's where
Speaker 3: you have the beer festival. Because I went to Eden
Speaker 3: Park on the day for a conference, and you're right,
Speaker 3: the Breakers could play at the same time on the
Speaker 3: far side of Eden Park, you know, went from where
Speaker 3: the players sit. There was so much room between the
Speaker 3: sideline and the stand that you could do a double
Speaker 3: heater Breakers Blues.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I've said they tried. A couple of years ago.
Speaker 1: I went to a couple of games they had. They'd
Speaker 1: set up like a stand and there was a couch
Speaker 1: on there, and there were people sitting on that couch
Speaker 1: watching the game. But it was just like a few
Speaker 1: radio hosts or something. It wasn't like people could buy
Speaker 1: the tickets soon yeah, yeah, So I was like, but
Speaker 1: surely you could set that up. You know you always
Speaker 1: got the space there. I think that'd be a goat. We,
Speaker 1: for various legal reasons, aren't allowed to take the caravan
Speaker 1: onto most grounds around the country, so that might be
Speaker 1: hard to do. But I do like the idea of
Speaker 1: it sitting there live commentary. You can listen to us,
Speaker 1: we'll commentate from the ground.
Speaker 3: Yeah, from the caravan, and you guys can just have
Speaker 3: your own beer festival there people be logo, what if
Speaker 3: they run on the field. I mean, come on, in fact,
Speaker 3: that's a risk everywhere also as if that's not happening already. Yeah,
Speaker 3: that's what I mean. But I mean look if someone
Speaker 3: new didn't find.
Speaker 1: Yeah all right, yeah, we're all on board, but for
Speaker 1: various legal reasons, it probably won't happen.
Speaker 3: Another call to here your space.
Speaker 7: Yeah you get it, boys, it's jack off will be
Speaker 7: here again. Fucking hell.
Speaker 3: How dumb are you guys?
Speaker 7: The high food and drink prices putting people off going
Speaker 7: to the rugby. It's the invention of the sky go at,
Speaker 7: which means plebs like me can wrex the old man's
Speaker 7: sky can watch it from the comfort of the couch
Speaker 7: at home while listening to mediocre commentary.
Speaker 3: Think about it anyway. I love you boys. Funks canbry
Speaker 3: Like you said, no, I agree, I mean if he
Speaker 3: be as part of it, but like, yeah, I'd say
Speaker 3: that you bought it up. The creature comforts of home, Yeah,
Speaker 3: I mean most like I saying, most of the audience
Speaker 3: are milking the appearance Skygo accounts or their x Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 3: but there's nothing. Nothing beats go into actually the live event.
Speaker 3: I mean, sure, it's great at home watching it on
Speaker 3: a Skygo account until your dad wants to watch something
Speaker 3: else on Skygo and you've earn a fight off who
Speaker 3: watched device it's going to be on.
Speaker 1: Just on that note, I think I'm sorry if I've
Speaker 1: told this story before, but I a bloke was telling
Speaker 1: me one day that when he was younger, remember you
Speaker 1: still have to split the sky, yeah thing, and you
Speaker 1: would have the sky in the main room and then
Speaker 1: you could pay extra to have a cable go to
Speaker 1: another room. But the problem was back then you would
Speaker 1: just have to watch what the other person was watching. Now,
Speaker 1: he had his bedroom down in the basement and his
Speaker 1: dad was upstairs watching TV.
Speaker 3: Mom went to bit.
Speaker 1: Dad takes a look around Spice Spoe channel into the
Speaker 1: old code, Yeah, pays a little bit of coin, and
Speaker 1: then Chuck's on a bit of blue. Yeah, this guy's
Speaker 1: done in the basement dad, and Dad's flicked over to
Speaker 1: the thing and now he's got a decision. Do I
Speaker 1: sit here and watch the same thing that my dad's
Speaker 1: watching up in the thing and we have a father's
Speaker 1: son bonding moment that I can never tell him about,
Speaker 1: or do I switch to TV off?
Speaker 3: How would you play that I'd had to switch it
Speaker 3: off because I couldn't. I wouldn't get out of my
Speaker 3: mind of my dad, like choking the hole like that
Speaker 3: would That's probably like the one thing that you know,
Speaker 3: if you get an unexpected heart on that you would
Speaker 3: think about to get rid of it. There's Maggie Thatcher
Speaker 3: in the Nude. There's all sorts of things you can
Speaker 3: think about, but that is potentially the unsexiest thing you
Speaker 3: could think of. Is your dad on the lounge with
Speaker 3: his pants half rent down, his knees jerking off.
Speaker 1: He'd really have to, he'd really have to be able
Speaker 1: to compartmentalize what was going on.
Speaker 3: TV's off for me, Yeah, TV's off for me, And
Speaker 3: his cheeky text about an hour later, so hey, can you.
Speaker 1: Turn it down up there, I can hear everything that's
Speaker 1: going on, which, funny enough, is probably also what live
Speaker 1: sports are competing with. Yes, there's going to be, but
Speaker 1: you know, you raise a good point that it is
Speaker 1: when you look out the window and it's raining sideways
Speaker 1: and it's a meaningless game.
Speaker 3: Around twenty three of the NRAL, are you gonna are
Speaker 3: you gonna? Yeah? Are you going to crash one hundred
Speaker 3: and fifty bucks?
Speaker 8: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Or are you going to sit at home with your parents? Free? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Sky account and of course the living crisis. I just
Speaker 1: thank god that the sky Go account. You can watch
Speaker 1: whatever you want and you're don't beholden whatever anyone else
Speaker 1: is watching. Another caller here, you're spars Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, go on, chuck a live stream up people
Speaker 4: watching the Field Days sort out the farmers from the Buckwards.
Speaker 1: But on mine there And that was a reply to
Speaker 1: yesterday's podcast. We were live from the Field Days. If
Speaker 1: you haven't listened to it's quite a goody, go and
Speaker 1: listen to it. We talked to Lee yep, and we
Speaker 1: had a bit of few people what And I guess
Speaker 1: because it's an audio only medium, a lot of people
Speaker 1: were just sort of having to imagine it. But it
Speaker 1: would be good to have a WEE live stream.
Speaker 3: There just people watching commentary. Yeah, were you commentated literally
Speaker 3: a marble race? Yeah? Well I just walked into that,
Speaker 3: didn't we It was the Fonterra tint and I was like,
Speaker 3: what's going on here? And then I said to the guy,
Speaker 3: can I start the marble race? He didn't know who
Speaker 3: we were. You can, so, yeah, didn't he? I think
Speaker 3: he even said do you want to start it? Yeah?
Speaker 3: You can go put the marbles yeah. So and then
Speaker 3: and then I wasn't planning on commentating it. In fact,
Speaker 3: I feel like you tried not to, but it just happened. Well,
Speaker 3: the thing was, it's such a long marble race that
Speaker 3: was real like it was a great setup. What it
Speaker 3: was was a bunch of marbles. It was to teach
Speaker 3: kind of children the journey from farm to fridge, from
Speaker 3: grass to glass. Yeah, the dairy process and you know,
Speaker 3: it goes down and it goes to the farm, the cows,
Speaker 3: the farm, the sheared, the truck to the factory, you know,
Speaker 3: to the well. And it was it took about I
Speaker 3: reckon a minute longer than I thought it was it.
Speaker 1: Took so long that when we uploaded it to Facebook,
Speaker 1: the end clipped off, so people watched it for about
Speaker 1: a minute and then didn't know who was Yeah, which
Speaker 1: is black one?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Black one? Yeah, black marble beat the white marbles.
Speaker 3: Don't really too far into that.
Speaker 1: What it was supposed to do was teach children about
Speaker 1: the process again from farm to table. But what it
Speaker 1: actually taught them I think was gambling because they stood
Speaker 1: on a color and that correlated to the marble, and.
Speaker 3: They won something when they the winning marble won a prize.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right, and so I think that was actually
Speaker 1: an activation for gambling rather than for milk. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I think people, the people watching at any event like
Speaker 1: that is excellent. I think particularly at the Field Days,
Speaker 1: it's great. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I think we should
Speaker 1: do it. We should get there.
Speaker 3: Just the light tune, just sit there. Check that guy,
Speaker 3: you know. There were some magnificent mullets. Yeah, and some
Speaker 3: magnificent motors as well. The amount of time in my
Speaker 3: side my head, I was singing, motor, what your Birthday?
Speaker 1: There was a man that I saw that has burnt
Speaker 1: into my memory, and he was because he was wearing
Speaker 1: just long John's as pants. It was, it was aggressive
Speaker 1: and despite how cold it was, he was giving a
Speaker 1: good account of himself. So that has scarred me. So
Speaker 1: I'd like to move on another call here yours boose lads.
Speaker 9: I know we are in New Zealand's number one sports podcasts,
Speaker 9: but we will admit that we've got two weaknesses here
Speaker 9: at the ACC. That's women's sports and football. I'll give
Speaker 9: you a pass on one, but I want to talk
Speaker 9: about football. I've been sitting here all week waiting for
Speaker 9: you to talk about the biggest football news in New
Speaker 9: Zealand in a long time and it's not happened. Chalked
Speaker 9: it up to him and I have been in Bali
Speaker 9: you know, the drinking. But no, when are we going
Speaker 9: to talk about Alex Paulson being signed by Bournemouth in
Speaker 9: the Premier League.
Speaker 1: It's huge, It's huge, and he's your favorite player. Alex
Speaker 1: Paulson is my favorite player. I would have his haircut
Speaker 1: in a heartbeat if I could. And you know, if
Speaker 1: it went to Pens, I think we would have won
Speaker 1: that semi final that's ever went to Spotties.
Speaker 3: I think we were winning that one.
Speaker 1: The final that's just my sorry the final, Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: just sort of my.
Speaker 3: My no semi final. So we didn't make the final?
Speaker 1: Is that right?
Speaker 3: Semi final? Adam? We made the final? You really dose whole? Yeah?
Speaker 3: So again, OK, football bit of a blind swell and listen.
Speaker 3: Good news though for the Phoenix because they would have
Speaker 3: got the transfer fee for that, wouldn't they well, which
Speaker 3: is a significant transfer fee for him, two million dollars
Speaker 3: for Poulsen to go over to the EPL. Great good
Speaker 3: on them. That's awesome. It's awesome for him. It has
Speaker 3: great news and maybe we should have got Jason Pine
Speaker 3: on to talk about that.
Speaker 1: I do wonder if Super Rugby the way it's going
Speaker 1: not to immediately swerve off football where you are, but
Speaker 1: I am the way it's going if we open it
Speaker 1: up to players playing overseas. I think that's basically what
Speaker 1: our competition is going to be like, if you're too
Speaker 1: good for our camp, you get poached and you disappear. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, is that a bad thing for the camp?
Speaker 1: I guess it's realistic like that is.
Speaker 3: To objects a bit of cash into it, because obviously
Speaker 3: Phoenix now got a bit more cash to throw around
Speaker 3: to get some more players. Yeah, that's right, as they've
Speaker 3: lost a couple of goodies. I've lost the striker and
Speaker 3: i've the goalie, which arguably with the two piece plays.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well and again this is the problem that you
Speaker 1: play too well, you're gonna get posted. But again for him, great, excellent,
Speaker 1: wonderful another call here you'se.
Speaker 8: Yeah good a fellas, so you've wrote soon was courtside
Speaker 8: at the NBA Finals in Game two were Boston won.
Speaker 8: And I also noticed that the NBA started linking the
Speaker 8: Indian cricket team and the ICC on their Instagram and
Speaker 8: I saw that a post got a billion likes. So
Speaker 8: probably look forward to the NBA abusing that in the
Speaker 8: future and Fox South Canterbury.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a smart move. I mean it's like Joe
Speaker 3: Jury does it every now. If you time he wants
Speaker 3: to maybe give the the ACC socials a bit of it,
Speaker 3: he just sends out an acendury meme, usually around rat
Speaker 3: coolie and a dog or whatever, and what do you know,
Speaker 3: they go through the roof.
Speaker 1: It does It's so much now that that video of
Speaker 1: you commentating the Marble race. The first two comments were
Speaker 1: from an Indian cricket fan page and they were like,
Speaker 1: screenshot this, now India to win the teacher when he
Speaker 1: World Cup, come back and thank me later or something.
Speaker 3: It was like, this is completely fucking unrelated to that.
Speaker 3: He's literally commentating a fucking marble race. This is this
Speaker 3: is how far the the Indian body counts have gone. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it's a great ploy though. I'm glad they utilized that
Speaker 3: and chacked a player court side, and because that is great.
Speaker 3: It's a great move from the NBA's Yeah, and like
Speaker 3: and for Boston because you get ten percent of India. Oh,
Speaker 3: as far as I'm eaguely interested in basketball, Oh yeah,
Speaker 3: what's that? One hundred million people?
Speaker 1: As far as I'm aware, there's only ever been one
Speaker 1: Indian player in the NBA and his name was Simbula
Speaker 1: and he was about seven foot five. It was an
Speaker 1: absolute freak show. Yeah, And I don't think that did
Speaker 1: much for the for the for the global game, for
Speaker 1: the game globally, but you're right if you get just
Speaker 1: a small fraction of that population watching it, and I'd
Speaker 1: love it too because they love big, flashy superstars.
Speaker 3: Yeah. They love the playing as well. Yeah, and the
Speaker 3: NBA has more of that than any other league. Anywhere.
Speaker 1: I think we've got a couple more, No more, We're done.
Speaker 1: All right, we got through them. Thank you very much
Speaker 1: for joining us. It was actually quite a long podcast
Speaker 1: for a Thursday. We'll be back tomorrow with the ACC
Speaker 1: Sports Book with Carl from the TAIRB.
Speaker 3: You might have to apologize them to them on by Behalf.
Speaker 1: I went back and listened to last Friday's episode of
Speaker 1: the Agenda that I thoroughly enjoyed.
Speaker 3: Couldn't bring myself to listen to the sports Book. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I can't imagine me. Not many people did. I think
Speaker 3: I might park it.
Speaker 1: But we will be back tomorrow for a fresh edition
Speaker 1: of the a SEC Sports Book as well as the
Speaker 1: Agenda podcast.
Speaker 3: Will see you then.
Speaker 2: You've been listening to the ACC's Agenda Podcast, brought to
Speaker 2: you by Export Ultra. For more episodes like can follow
