Speaker 1: Big Podcast Today Lane Big Podcasts. At the end of
Speaker 1: this podcast, we're going to a mountain of yours please to
Speaker 1: get through. But before then we do have a very
Speaker 1: special guest. A two thousand and three Super Rugby Grand
Speaker 1: Final winner with the Blues. Steve Devine is going to
Speaker 1: be joining us.
Speaker 3: Should I bring up the fact that I had him
Speaker 3: onto the second tier of Eden Park during that November
Speaker 3: game or should I not? Because they actually wasted us.
Speaker 1: It was quite hard for me to get Steve to
Speaker 1: agree to this. So if you could just park the
Speaker 1: fact that you it's.
Speaker 3: Going to be in the back of my mind the
Speaker 3: whole time. And he looked up that half volley and
Speaker 3: I put him onto the second tier back over his head.
Speaker 1: You know I was going to annoy him more than
Speaker 1: that is that he almost bowled me out. I had
Speaker 1: a French cut that just missed my off stump. And
Speaker 1: then ran away to the boundary for four and that
Speaker 1: I think would probably piss them off even more genuinely
Speaker 1: getting cut it.
Speaker 3: I don't think we bring either of those. He's been very.
Speaker 1: Kind to us to come onto the podcast today a
Speaker 1: little later than usual, recording this one today because the
Speaker 1: Hidaky Boys are on their Big Bend Bender.
Speaker 3: Big Beef Bender reveal.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I don't exactly know how it works. All I
Speaker 1: know is that at about nine o'clock this morning, we
Speaker 1: were hustled onto a bus and taken to a backpacker.
Speaker 3: Yeah, with Kidder and the drag Queen, the drag.
Speaker 1: Queen, and then beer pong poker, a few beers, and
Speaker 1: we all of a sudden find ourselves back in the
Speaker 1: office to do our actual work today.
Speaker 3: It was welwin, wasn't it been on a poker table
Speaker 3: and I was drinking a glass of champagne and then
Speaker 3: Joe Jury bringing me a mess of pind A Hazy
Speaker 3: and it was like quarter past nine. Yeah, it was
Speaker 3: like I didn't order either of these drinks. And then
Speaker 3: I got snapped in a photo. As you know, this
Speaker 3: is this is the kind of entreatment that I get
Speaker 3: involved in. And then Big Joel Harrison puts it up
Speaker 3: and it's his lanes in for another bender, sleeping on
Speaker 3: the on the studio, it's it's film. I'm asleep. I'm like,
Speaker 3: this is entrapment, a honey trap.
Speaker 1: It is now, this will be the most degenerate thing
Speaker 1: you hear me say today, and I say a lot
Speaker 1: of degenerate things. Yeah, if you're drinking in the morning,
Speaker 1: high percentage, I think you have to go high percentage.
Speaker 1: You don't want to be slogging your way through like
Speaker 1: a four three four percent out. I think you go
Speaker 1: high impact. I don't mind an espisso martini if I'm.
Speaker 3: A lot of those going down.
Speaker 1: Yeah, obviously responsibly, don't doubt if you're going to drive
Speaker 1: a forklift later. But if you're at a beach club
Speaker 1: in Bali, if you're on a bender with the radio hurdac.
Speaker 3: He wos Did I see someone drinking a Gin and Tonic?
Speaker 3: Was that Joel Harrison? Was he on a Gen andine?
Speaker 1: Who saw the notorious pants man? Joel Harrison on a
Speaker 1: Gen and Tonic? He then turned around there was a
Speaker 1: poker table there. Definitely the earliest stuff played poker obviously
Speaker 1: three am. That's still nighttime, so this is a nine am.
Speaker 1: He sharked everyone. He sat next to Kezy and was
Speaker 1: just like, how does this game work? Keezy bought it
Speaker 1: hook line and sinker. Oh, so you know you got
Speaker 1: two and then that's appeared, then you've got three of
Speaker 1: a kind straight and and Joe was like, oh, okay,
Speaker 1: so what happens if I got like one hundred and
Speaker 1: He's like, no, no, don't do that. All of a sudden,
Speaker 1: cut to ten minutes later, Joels cleaned us all out.
Speaker 1: She sharcked us and turned Deli from Hodaki.
Speaker 3: He took his watch off through that on the table,
Speaker 3: it was all on. I've got a mate who does that.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna told you. He goes to the casino sober
Speaker 3: at like two or three in the morning. Yeah, that's
Speaker 3: to the poker table, and he cleans up all the
Speaker 3: drunk assholes, all the wasted guys who do nan Quain's
Speaker 3: going on, and he just goes home with three or
Speaker 3: four hundred dollars at like three or four in the morning.
Speaker 3: That's a great strategy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've had a mate, In fact, I've had mini
Speaker 1: mates who poker. Had a moment probably about five years
Speaker 1: ago really going. I think was when the online poker
Speaker 1: really started taking off and I had a couple of mates.
Speaker 1: I reckon, I you know, if I jecked my job
Speaker 1: and I just hit the tables pretty hard, I reckon,
Speaker 1: I could do it. There's only one of my mates.
Speaker 1: So I actually believed he could have done it well.
Speaker 3: Shane Moon did it for a while. He was a
Speaker 3: professional poker player, he was on the circuit.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think the difference is the shortcut veera as
Speaker 1: he has millions of dollars, yes, so end of profile
Speaker 1: and a profile, so people are going to invite them.
Speaker 1: I'm sure people would want to stump up for him
Speaker 1: as well. If you're just a guy, you know, if
Speaker 1: you're a plumber from South Genery, that's a bit tougher,
Speaker 1: I think, unless you really know the ins and outs it.
Speaker 3: Did at You're right, There was a while there live
Speaker 3: like a lot of live TV was like a tournaments
Speaker 3: and guys with a million, million, million barks and all
Speaker 3: that kind of came.
Speaker 1: The soop the World Series of pokerhead a moment.
Speaker 3: Yeah, has that kind of died down because of onlines
Speaker 3: taken over?
Speaker 1: No, No, because I think that I think that actually
Speaker 1: coincided with online because people could watch the world series
Speaker 1: and then go and play their own hands all And
Speaker 1: the other thing is those guys that were getting really
Speaker 1: good at it, they would have three or four hands
Speaker 1: going at a time, right, so in a night that
Speaker 1: could play four times as many hands as you could
Speaker 1: actually play if you're having a poker night. But I
Speaker 1: think it was funny because one of the girls from
Speaker 1: hadak He came over and goes, oh, this would be
Speaker 1: a great like invite your friends around and organize like
Speaker 1: a night to come and play poker. I was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's exactly what it is, and that's exactly what we do.
Speaker 4: We do.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you guys do book club, Yeah, steal all that
Speaker 3: kind of carrying on. Yeah, tup of weir parties, Yeah,
Speaker 3: the fuck wear parties are a bit.
Speaker 1: Different, but the parties yeah, yeah, I don't mind those
Speaker 1: tupway party. My missus cleaned up at a tup of
Speaker 1: Wear party one. Yeah, it was outrageous then that all
Speaker 1: of her mates are like, oh, we saw her clean up.
Speaker 1: It's our own problem is when you're from rural New Zealand,
Speaker 1: you're selling to the same people over and over.
Speaker 3: Well that's kind of a pyramid scheme though, but she
Speaker 3: would have done all right out of it when because
Speaker 3: she would have franchised it out to those ones, because.
Speaker 1: She would be I think she just took her money
Speaker 1: and bounced.
Speaker 3: It's just like thanks, thanks for coming.
Speaker 1: Shanny ever did one and it was just like out
Speaker 1: of there, and then all in mates were like, oh,
Speaker 1: she made heaps some money off that meat. It's like, hey,
Speaker 1: you guys all live in ash Burden.
Speaker 3: Everyone's got yeah, everyone's got place to containers. There's only
Speaker 3: one you can you could probably do one a decade. Yeah,
Speaker 3: a toup of party.
Speaker 1: But anyway, you Benda continues on right now, we're going
Speaker 1: to try, well, I'm going to try and go and
Speaker 1: meet up with them later on. Why is that because
Speaker 1: at one thirty Angelina from The Day Show is going
Speaker 1: to be performing or teaching a pole fitness class and
Speaker 1: you know, I'm on a bit of a fitness bush.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, I mean like a pole fitness class. How
Speaker 3: many poles are there?
Speaker 4: Is it?
Speaker 3: Like there's like, is there like ten or eleven poles
Speaker 3: that everyone can do it on?
Speaker 1: Well, they're going to a whiskey bart and apparently I
Speaker 1: don't know if this is a permanent pole. I think
Speaker 1: they're going to install it.
Speaker 3: She was like, no, they just got one. It's another
Speaker 3: VIP roomount of the back. That's the one pole. Oh well,
Speaker 3: unfortunately it probably means I probably won't be able to
Speaker 3: get up on it. Then ILD just have to. This
Speaker 3: was the infamous pole that Lee Hart danced on once.
Speaker 3: And I know what we're talking about now. Yes, I've
Speaker 3: been there. Yeah, that was when that and the roof
Speaker 3: just about came in. If you want to see it,
Speaker 3: you know, when you're those poles of disrepute. Yeah, I've
Speaker 3: never seen one bend. I've never seen one, a curve,
Speaker 3: a share of one. Until Leehart leaned back and swung
Speaker 3: around one. It was both the hottest thing and the
Speaker 3: most non hoddest thing we've ever seen is Lee hat
Speaker 3: spin around that pole. That same night, we almost saw
Speaker 3: Leehart die because as we walked out of that bar,
Speaker 3: I think we might have got tossed out of that bar.
Speaker 1: Actually, we went across the road and we're standing in
Speaker 1: the middle of the road on an island about to cross.
Speaker 1: There were two lanes. Someone stopped in the lane closest
Speaker 1: to us because they recognized Lee. They waved to him,
Speaker 1: and then they waved him across the road. He goes
Speaker 1: to walk past them, but there was another lane here
Speaker 1: to get past too. He kept walking and a bus
Speaker 1: came flying past him, just about skinned his nose, and
Speaker 1: I was just watching it. You know, when something so
Speaker 1: bad it's happening, you just freeze. I was like, aha,
Speaker 1: And this bus that just came flying past them screeched
Speaker 1: its brakes on because it saw him out of the
Speaker 1: blind spot, and everybody within one hundred minutes just like,
Speaker 1: holy shit. I think I just about saw the guy
Speaker 1: die for like one mad moment.
Speaker 3: And this was also the same night that you know,
Speaker 3: because it was I think it was in winter, and
Speaker 3: they have the clear clear plastic out side to stop
Speaker 3: the wind.
Speaker 1: Yes, and you pull the sides down so it kind
Speaker 1: of separates different bars along the street.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it was walking long. He walked straight into.
Speaker 1: The straight into it, and then the bouncer comes out.
Speaker 1: It was just like, this guy's obviously wasted.
Speaker 3: Are you okay?
Speaker 1: And then he recognized and was like, actually, do you
Speaker 1: want to come in? And then we went into that bar.
Speaker 1: It was funny, it was very fortuitous. You weren't here
Speaker 1: on the podcast yesterday. But Heath and I talked about
Speaker 1: because we went to David Yuka's press conference. He's got
Speaker 1: to fight fourteenth or September. We talked about who would
Speaker 1: you like to see on the undercart because they're going
Speaker 1: to have some celebrity matches, and he said he wanted
Speaker 1: to see Luxe and v Heart settle it once and
Speaker 1: for all.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, Lee Heart would beat the living with
Speaker 3: Jesus out of Laxon. Yeah. Lee does a bit of boxing.
Speaker 3: He does. He does more than Chris Laxon. No, I know,
Speaker 3: I there was bet if Laxon took him to three,
Speaker 3: then he's a chance.
Speaker 1: Well, one of the things that Lee didn't blowing a
Speaker 1: spot up a little bit here, but he would go
Speaker 1: and do a boxing class with a few of his
Speaker 1: mates in the morning and it would be like hit
Speaker 1: the bag, blah blah blah. Do some sit ups now,
Speaker 1: do a lap of the block or two laps of
Speaker 1: the block, whatever, And he was doing it with like
Speaker 1: some of his best mates. So as soon as they
Speaker 1: got out of eyeshot of the gym, that was like
Speaker 1: shoes pack up and then they just sat down for
Speaker 1: a minute and they all agreed like, as long as
Speaker 1: none of us leave, then we're all sweet, and so
Speaker 1: then all right, long enough and go back and then
Speaker 1: jog back. But yeah, I think I think Lee would
Speaker 1: piece up Chris Laxon to settle it once and for all,
Speaker 1: just before we move on to some extual sport. The
Speaker 1: I don't know if you've seen this, but the mega
Speaker 1: mind guy who's taking his three kids on the run.
Speaker 3: Ah yep and Mary Kapa, yeah.
Speaker 1: He So the police have put up an eighty thousand
Speaker 1: dollars reward for any information that leads to finding the kids.
Speaker 1: I don't think that they obviously the kids probably aren't
Speaker 1: doing it to great, but everybody around the region seems
Speaker 1: to think that he's done.
Speaker 3: Okay, it's not fun for his life.
Speaker 1: But I've just said today that they're not willing to
Speaker 1: extend the period for that. And so that's little fire
Speaker 1: under me because I have a theory here and I
Speaker 1: want to harness the power of AI to make to
Speaker 1: earn this eighty thousand dollars. I think what I do
Speaker 1: is I commissioned chet GPT to take one hundred guesses
Speaker 1: based on all of the stories that are written.
Speaker 3: About this case as to where these people could be.
Speaker 1: And then I make a hundred fake email addresses and
Speaker 1: I send all one hundred of these in to the police.
Speaker 1: Are the off chance that one of them hits, and
Speaker 1: I make the eighty k.
Speaker 3: This would been one of you and there half assed
Speaker 3: because I like it. But I don't think they're just
Speaker 3: dishing it out to see who's the closest. I mean,
Speaker 3: it's not a game of battleships where like I think
Speaker 3: a power of AI. It could be like we found
Speaker 3: him here, he was closest, but it was closest this
Speaker 3: this thing here said he was on the fourth redge
Speaker 3: back from the farm. So I think this one wins.
Speaker 3: And I know that at a.
Speaker 1: Reverse engineer, And I just think if they were just like, well,
Speaker 1: this tip says that it could be here, then they
Speaker 1: go there and they find it, Well, how.
Speaker 3: Many tips are they getting that are just complete and
Speaker 3: out of bullshit? As well? But the people sifting through
Speaker 3: the bullshit, Yeah, it must there must be some amusing ones.
Speaker 1: Well, they better buckle themselves in because I'm about to
Speaker 1: fire one hundred of them in there.
Speaker 3: That's like mega mine. Yeah, can we use a different photo?
Speaker 3: Surely there's a different photo that doesn't make him look
Speaker 3: like mega mine. He's got the world either he's got
Speaker 3: the world's biggest forehead or that he's there some sort
Speaker 3: of fish eye lands on that photo. Yeah, I think
Speaker 3: it's that. It's it's the most outrageous photo. Makes him
Speaker 3: look like a total moron.
Speaker 1: And even it's not, but it looks like it's a
Speaker 1: security footage that yeah, zoomed in from on high it's
Speaker 1: a bad angle of the man. But anyway, I think
Speaker 1: that there's You're right though, Like around my neighborhood there's
Speaker 1: been a bunch of posters for this missing care.
Speaker 3: You're never finding that care?
Speaker 1: How often do people actually hit those things up with
Speaker 1: the with info? And have you ever heard of someone
Speaker 1: actually claiming the reward.
Speaker 3: I had one of the greatest scenarios ever. It was
Speaker 3: a lost chicken. We we went for a walk in
Speaker 3: our neighborhood and it was like a sign on a powerpole.
Speaker 3: It was half ripped off, and one of the kids goes,
Speaker 3: what's that And I was like, it looks like someone's
Speaker 3: lost their chicken. And we live in suburban marrow Neck, Devenport,
Speaker 3: and I was like, I guys, And then there was
Speaker 3: another sign. It was it looked old. I'm like, there's
Speaker 3: lost chicken. And then we you're not fifty meters down
Speaker 3: the street. My son goes, there's that chicken and it
Speaker 3: was down a driveway because it was gray. It was
Speaker 3: a gray, fluffy chicken. And I said, that's not the chickens.
Speaker 3: That's not a checking that signs is so that's someone
Speaker 3: else's checken. And he goes, oh, go grab it. I said,
Speaker 3: you can't walk on to someone's property and grab a chicken,
Speaker 3: because he's got no shame about grabbing chickens. Anyway, Then
Speaker 3: we had Christmas drinks. This was before us Christmas drinks
Speaker 3: at our house, and all the neighbors came over and
Speaker 3: one of the neighbors from over the road was like,
Speaker 3: oh my god, the kids are so upset. They've lost
Speaker 3: their chicken. Was I was at your chicken signs on
Speaker 3: the thing, and she goes, yeah, he was like a
Speaker 3: little gray chicken. And we went I looked at Ralph,
Speaker 3: and we looked at We went we know where it is.
Speaker 3: And Ralph ran out the door and he like ran
Speaker 3: two hundred minutes and he came back with this great
Speaker 3: chicken into the house and they're like Oh my god,
Speaker 3: it's the chicken it was. Were they offering a reward
Speaker 3: they gave I think they've tooked down the dairy for
Speaker 3: an ice cream or something, but there was They weren't
Speaker 3: offering a reward. But it was just the weirdest. It
Speaker 3: was like we're living in a simulation. It was like,
Speaker 3: there's the sign. It looked really old, and there there
Speaker 3: was a chicken down someone else's driveway, just picking away
Speaker 3: at the grass.
Speaker 1: Sure enough, anyway, fell down the chicken.
Speaker 3: Found the chicken.
Speaker 1: Samchure sport on the rundown.
Speaker 3: That's in your hands. You'll see.
Speaker 1: I've printed out a picture Killian and Barbey broke his
Speaker 1: nose the other day. He broke the fuck out of
Speaker 1: his nose too. If you've seen the footage, he's now
Speaker 1: donned a mask adorned with lecoque on the front of
Speaker 1: it and the French flag as well. I think it
Speaker 1: even has his initials over his right eye. Of course,
Speaker 1: that mask, as you look at it, does that provide
Speaker 1: any coverage of the nose at all.
Speaker 3: It looks more like a leather some sort of leather mask.
Speaker 1: Like what mankind you still, yeah.
Speaker 3: It doesn't, because usually when you say that I in
Speaker 3: my mind it is NBA full face. Yeah, the Phantom
Speaker 3: of the Opera, NBA big full, clear plastic mask. And
Speaker 3: it looks this looks like you're not a masquerade. It's
Speaker 3: a bad masquerade mask.
Speaker 1: Like if it should have the little handheld part on.
Speaker 3: The side, feathers coming out the top of it.
Speaker 1: It also kind of looks a little bit teenage mutant
Speaker 1: Ninja two. Yes, that sounds like Yeah, it looks like
Speaker 1: Donna Tello. Yeah, that's not protecting hiss. No, that isn't
Speaker 1: protecting shit.
Speaker 3: That's a way to getting back onto the field, yes,
Speaker 3: and playing.
Speaker 1: And also if and when they win, this will be
Speaker 1: an iconic photo. This will we've posted everywhere. There'll be
Speaker 1: a mural banks he will do something with it. And
Speaker 1: I just think that it's actually not providing any coverage
Speaker 1: at all. I think this is a crocod shit. But anyway,
Speaker 1: I could be wrong. It's the bridge of his nose
Speaker 1: that broke. Maybe it's just an aesthetic thing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe. And also I don't think they're doing it
Speaker 3: for any commercial reasons, because you ain't shifting those mind you.
Speaker 3: If you're a fan, I'll tell you what I wouldn't
Speaker 3: mind it. Oh yeah, it'd be a great way thing
Speaker 3: to wear to the game, as everyone with the big
Speaker 3: giant embarpeir Ninja turtle mask.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't mind it all right. The actual sport
Speaker 1: that's happening this weekend, it's sort of all boiled down
Speaker 1: to one thing, and that's the Super Rugby Grand Final
Speaker 1: and it's just Blues Verse Chiefs. As we mentioned this week,
Speaker 1: twenty thousand fans pouring up the State Highway one mad
Speaker 1: Max Fury road style from Hamilton. They're taking hovercrafts, they're
Speaker 1: taking oats, start taking.
Speaker 3: Planes, absolutely jetboats up to Meddy Medi and then hit
Speaker 3: shiking the rest of the way.
Speaker 1: I've heard a rumor that every farmer between the Bombays
Speaker 1: and Hamilton has opened their gates so that you could
Speaker 1: drive your four wheeler.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is coming from naaah here.
Speaker 1: Yep, paddling up the whiteout as far as they can come.
Speaker 1: So it is the biggest thing in sports that's happening.
Speaker 1: And I actually think that the Super Rugby season has
Speaker 1: been quite good as well. So the combination of all
Speaker 1: of that happens tomorrow night. We're going to be covering it.
Speaker 1: But you know, you don't come to us for honest
Speaker 1: analysis of you know, you come to us for claptrap
Speaker 1: and nonsense.
Speaker 3: Yes, we need sports adjacent content.
Speaker 1: We're sports adjacent. We need someone who was there, who
Speaker 1: was in the fight in the fray the last time
Speaker 1: that the Blues won this, and we've got just that man.
Speaker 1: Steve Devine joins us right after this air break. All right, well,
Speaker 1: it was a great pleasure to welcome into the Agenda
Speaker 1: podcast the half back for the last legitimate Blues title
Speaker 1: back in two thousand and three, live from Australia. Steve Divine,
Speaker 1: Good morning, Steve. How are you getting on, mate?
Speaker 4: I'm very well, Thank you gentlemen. How are you guys?
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're very well.
Speaker 1: Thanks mate. We're getting pretty excited, an't we laned for
Speaker 1: this for the Super Rugby Final?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm getting I'm pretty pumped. Actualick. So I've heard
Speaker 3: rumors is twenty thousand Chiefs fans and an armada of
Speaker 3: manabusses coming over the Bombay Hills. I've heard.
Speaker 4: I've heard there's been explosives for the longer Bombay Hills
Speaker 4: and there may be a slide a slip.
Speaker 3: I also heard rumors there's going to be a blockade
Speaker 3: at Rainbow's end across the motorway that you know that
Speaker 3: Auckland is going to just park their buses in the way.
Speaker 3: But I don't think somethings stopping the manabus.
Speaker 4: As long as they bring those bloody bells, then I'm
Speaker 4: good with it.
Speaker 3: Actually, the thing is, I agree with you, Steve, because
Speaker 3: the bells are for MULU and that is the MPC
Speaker 3: team that is wack out or MPC, it's not Chiefs.
Speaker 3: So I agree with you. I don't mind the bells
Speaker 3: for MPC, but I've got no affinity to the bells
Speaker 3: for the Chiefs for some reason. And I'm like, I'm
Speaker 3: a mulus hard as well. I grew up in Hamilton
Speaker 3: and the tron.
Speaker 4: A little bit of vomit just came out.
Speaker 3: You swallowed it down. You swallow it and you enjoy it.
Speaker 4: Be careful, you be careful what you say, because you
Speaker 4: could stir up your chlamydia.
Speaker 3: Cal transfer it down this phone if you don't watch it.
Speaker 3: I think it's only the work you catch it.
Speaker 4: You can't catch it on the phone, right.
Speaker 3: We'll find out.
Speaker 1: I don't know if anyone could, it'll be lame. I
Speaker 1: think it's only people from wykido that even know that
Speaker 1: that that's only an NPC thing and not a a
Speaker 1: Super Rugby thing. We'll get to the this week's final
Speaker 1: in a minute. But as I said before two thousand
Speaker 1: and three, the last legitimate I don't count the Trans
Speaker 1: Tasman Super Rugby Grand Final. Steve, do you is that
Speaker 1: a legitimate title to you? Does that have an ASTERIXK?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 4: It wasn't was it was it all there? It wasn't
Speaker 4: all there? Right, it wasn't. Yeah, that was a half.
Speaker 4: But you know, you take a when when you need
Speaker 4: to take when. I think the Blues needed that at
Speaker 4: that time. But this is this is the big one, right,
Speaker 4: it is the one.
Speaker 1: Twenty years since that last final and you unfortunately in
Speaker 1: the semi final, what haven't you you got knocked out
Speaker 1: against the Brumbies. Is that what it was? You probably
Speaker 1: can't remember.
Speaker 4: I tried to murder I tried to murder George Gregan.
Speaker 4: The ball popped out behind a ruck and he jumped
Speaker 4: down to land on the ball, gather up the ball,
Speaker 4: and I just thought this was my chance to murder him,
Speaker 4: and so I rushed in. But one of my good
Speaker 4: good mates, Justin Collins, had the same idea and we
Speaker 4: end up taking out each.
Speaker 3: Other friendly fire, friendly fire.
Speaker 4: Fortunately I laid on the ground unconscious for probably twenty minutes,
Speaker 4: but he actually got up and tried to play on
Speaker 4: and if you watch the videotape, I have seen it
Speaker 4: this week. If you watch the videotape, he ends up
Speaker 4: we end up scoring a try from we turned the
Speaker 4: ball over and then we end up scoring a try.
Speaker 4: He was standing in the gold area with the Brumbies team.
Speaker 4: He thought he was playing for true true story. So
Speaker 4: he called me an idiot for get knocked out and
Speaker 4: I was like, well, at least I know had the
Speaker 4: decency to lie on the ground for twenty minutes.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I was just looking up that game and there's a
Speaker 1: photo there. It's one of the toughest photos I think
Speaker 1: I've seen from a rugby match, and it's you on
Speaker 1: the stretch as you're getting carried off and there's just
Speaker 1: blood pouring out.
Speaker 3: Do you hear your eyes are open? You're like, yeah,
Speaker 3: we're all good fore hellas.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was a that was a big one. I
Speaker 4: actually came to about about fifteen minutes after the match
Speaker 4: in the in the dressing sheds, and I was lying
Speaker 4: on the table and I sort of sort of came
Speaker 4: to and I was like, I looked at doc and
Speaker 4: there was doctors and there's all sorts of people standing around.
Speaker 4: I was like, I was like, Doc, am I going
Speaker 4: to be all right for next week? And he he
Speaker 4: looked at me like nah.
Speaker 1: So a little bit disappointing that you didn't get to
Speaker 1: play in that in that Grand Final. But that team,
Speaker 1: that two thousand and three team is one of the
Speaker 1: most like iconic Super Rugby teams I think in Super
Speaker 1: Rugby history. Some of the like the back line that
Speaker 1: you guys had was incredible. Doug Howlett was the fifteen
Speaker 1: for most of that season. Repentny was with you guys
Speaker 1: as well, although he wasn't he didn't play in the
Speaker 1: semi final or the final today.
Speaker 4: He got injured. He got injured in the semi as well.
Speaker 4: Repent he has an amazing ability to when he gets injured,
Speaker 4: he gets really injured. I think he broke his arm
Speaker 4: or his league or something in that semi final and
Speaker 4: then it was just yes, so we missed him for
Speaker 4: the final.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it was.
Speaker 6: It was.
Speaker 4: It was an incredible year. We actually, I think last
Speaker 4: year we had our twenty year reunion for that that
Speaker 4: year we got all the old boys together. It was
Speaker 4: a it was a good, good weekend. But it was yeah, remarkable,
Speaker 4: remarkable team. Toy two, Po Millsey, you know, Xavier Rush, Yeah,
Speaker 4: Joe Joe, Rock's, Rico Gear, Yeah, we were Lee Stasne's.
Speaker 4: Was there a bit a bit of the old mate
Speaker 4: it was. We were stacked, Yes, it was. It was
Speaker 4: a great team.
Speaker 1: Carlos was well, can't gloss over that. It was like
Speaker 1: an all star team, that team, and I think that
Speaker 1: in the last few years the Blues have sort of
Speaker 1: started to become that again, a little bit of an
Speaker 1: all star team, at least in the back line. Do
Speaker 1: you see any similarities between that team in this team now?
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, you know there's there's there's some players there
Speaker 4: that are, you know, making their name. I look at Rico,
Speaker 4: he's just, you know, super athlete. There's there's there's certainly
Speaker 4: guys there that are starting to get on top of
Speaker 4: it of what they do. A few All Blacks starting
Speaker 4: to make their way back into the team. I think
Speaker 4: the standout for me this year with the Blues has
Speaker 4: really been the Fords. I think for a long time
Speaker 4: the Blues. It's always been a question mark about how
Speaker 4: hard the forwards are and I just think this year,
Speaker 4: I think the Fords are probably outperformed the backs. To
Speaker 4: be fair, they're just you know, they're they're pretty discipline
Speaker 4: of what they do. They get down into the twenty
Speaker 4: two and then it's just the Fords use brute power
Speaker 4: a lot of the time to get themselves over the line.
Speaker 4: And you know, I know it's a different scenario this weekend,
Speaker 4: but you know, three weeks ago when they played the
Speaker 4: Chiefs at Eden Park, they you know, it was just
Speaker 4: all about brute power and it really showed and they
Speaker 4: got on top of the Chiefs and one comfortably.
Speaker 3: So that's all part that's all part of the plan though, Steve,
Speaker 3: obviously from the Chiefs is basically you know, you're not
Speaker 3: going to beat the Chiefs smoke.
Speaker 4: You're not going to be smoking mirrors.
Speaker 3: Plan right, You're not going to beat the.
Speaker 4: Chiefs here times.
Speaker 3: You're not going to beat them three times in a
Speaker 3: sleeper rugby comp Come.
Speaker 4: On, well except in two thousand and three, yeah, probably not.
Speaker 8: I think.
Speaker 4: Actually I tell you what, I tell you what in
Speaker 4: two thousand and three we were getting smoked by the
Speaker 4: Chiefs after about fourteen minutes and Troy Flavell stomped on
Speaker 4: someone's head and got sent off.
Speaker 3: Doesn't sound we played.
Speaker 4: We played the rest of the game of fourteen and
Speaker 4: and still one comfortably, I believe.
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, so I begain. That leads into your your predictions.
Speaker 3: How do you think it's going to play out on Saturday?
Speaker 3: I mean, is it going to a lot of people
Speaker 3: saying it's going to be a bit of a turgid affair? Close, tight,
Speaker 3: low scoring. What's your thoughts, man?
Speaker 4: I think it'll be tight. I think it'll go two ways.
Speaker 4: It'll go. If the Blues allow the Chiefs to play
Speaker 4: the game they want to play with that back line,
Speaker 4: I think I think will be the Blues will be
Speaker 4: in some trouble. If the Blues can keep it tight,
Speaker 4: keep it close, keep it in a forward game, I
Speaker 4: think they will get on top of the Chiefs with
Speaker 4: just forward dominance. Yeah, the Chiefs back on when they're on,
Speaker 4: they're on right, when they're unstoppable when they go. So
Speaker 4: you give them freedom and you give them space, and
Speaker 4: they're going to hurt you. So the Blues just need
Speaker 4: to shut that down. I just think the Chiefs have
Speaker 4: had a pretty good bounce of the ball over the
Speaker 4: last two weeks. They got pumped by the Blues and
Speaker 4: then they just smoked the Reds and obviously played very
Speaker 4: well last weekend. Sometimes you don't get the bounce of
Speaker 4: the ball sort of three four weeks in a row,
Speaker 4: you won't get it a couple So yeah, I just
Speaker 4: I just think maybe they've done a little bit too much.
Speaker 4: But in saying that all, I'm also a big believe
Speaker 4: you've got to lose a final to win a final,
Speaker 4: and the Chiefs did that last year and the Blues haven't.
Speaker 4: So it's going to it's going to be tight. I
Speaker 4: don't think it's going to be a thirteen plus a weekend.
Speaker 4: I think it's going to be a twelve and under weekend,
Speaker 4: and it could go either way. I just if the
Speaker 4: Blues can keep it set, peace orientated, I think I
Speaker 4: think they're going to have a little bit of an advantage.
Speaker 4: But you know that Chiefs team, if they click, you know,
Speaker 4: if they click, you're you're in for a very tough night.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I've sort of got a bit of a theory that
Speaker 1: the Blows have always got a bit of a bed
Speaker 1: shit in them. Do you think that if the Chiefs
Speaker 1: get out to an early lead that they could potentially
Speaker 1: capitulate the other Blues?
Speaker 4: Well, we haven't seen that in recent years, have we.
Speaker 4: I don't know where where you brought that.
Speaker 3: He's a Warriors fan as well, so that.
Speaker 4: These two teams, these two teams, it's really for a
Speaker 4: long long time it's been it's not even really been
Speaker 4: about rugby. It's about who can beat the other team
Speaker 4: up the most generally wins, you know, So they just
Speaker 4: they were just it's going to be so physical. It's
Speaker 4: just they're just going to try and absolutely beat the
Speaker 4: bejeebers out of each other, and often the team who
Speaker 4: does that the best wins this match. And that's how
Speaker 4: I've sort of been over the last twenty years.
Speaker 1: So if you're a hunting man, you'd sort of go
Speaker 1: like the one to seven sort of option.
Speaker 3: That's what I'm hearing.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I made it. It's going to be. It's
Speaker 4: gonna be. I'd definitely bet on there being a lot
Speaker 4: of blood. I think that's going to happen. It'll get niggly,
Speaker 4: it'll get real niggily, because that's what they always are
Speaker 4: and you know, I'm My concern is the Chiefs came
Speaker 4: down three weeks ago and they didn't really present themselves
Speaker 4: physically and they got a little bit beaten up up
Speaker 4: front particularly, and that will be that would be a
Speaker 4: big motivator this weekend to the Chiefs team. If their
Speaker 4: forwards can hold out the Blues, then with that back line,
Speaker 4: I think they could be in some trouble.
Speaker 3: All right, well you're picking.
Speaker 4: That's as good. That is as good as I'm going
Speaker 4: to give you in terms of a Chief.
Speaker 3: Appreciate it. Appreciate it now, I really appreciate it.
Speaker 1: We won't hold you any longer. Thank you very much
Speaker 1: for joining us from across the ditch.
Speaker 3: Steve.
Speaker 1: You're someone who knows what it takes to win the
Speaker 1: Super Rugby title, a legitimate Super Rugby title for the Blues.
Speaker 3: So looking forward to watching it.
Speaker 1: Enjoy that Super Rugby final across the ditch there, mate.
Speaker 4: We'll do Boddy and get up the Blues a go.
Speaker 2: Boys, yours please brought you by Leader Home of the LP.
Speaker 1: Real honor and the privilege having Steve Devine on the show.
Speaker 1: But we need to get to your feedback. Let's do
Speaker 1: it right now. Rip into the first caller here call
Speaker 1: it yours please.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I know you lot of classy bunch of buggers
Speaker 9: and your followers are cut from.
Speaker 4: The same GiB.
Speaker 9: There's some ultra pre game down and donners need to
Speaker 9: better classic venue. I hear there's a castle down there,
Speaker 9: So how about you go give at a hone, get
Speaker 9: a few buses flowing and then you can kind of
Speaker 9: tailgate on the way there. You've got twenty five to
Speaker 9: thirty minutes of absolutely ripping and tearing on a bus
Speaker 9: before you get the game.
Speaker 6: All right?
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, Atlantic Castle and precking knees talking about there.
Speaker 3: That's it, It's not that's it. I'm not sure how
Speaker 3: open Lantic Castle would be to us having an ultra
Speaker 3: pre game there. It's quite a big heavy tourist destination
Speaker 3: in Dneda, isn't it.
Speaker 1: I've never been there despite living in Dunedin for years.
Speaker 1: It was as prohibitively expensive I think for a reason, yes,
Speaker 1: to stop people like me from going there, but also
Speaker 1: kind of was like, oh, it's not actually a castle.
Speaker 3: It's also quite a small castle. Yeah, it's like not
Speaker 3: a when you go to England, you see and you
Speaker 3: go to France, and you see castles, people don't give
Speaker 3: a shit about it. Yeah, people like you keep some
Speaker 3: people are keeping stock in castle. Yes, yeah, yeah it's
Speaker 3: castles and shiit that that one's just a stone thing,
Speaker 3: that's the top of a hell well.
Speaker 1: And even it was like it's a suppose house.
Speaker 3: I guess it was the first castle in New Zealand.
Speaker 1: I know, but like I don't know what about I
Speaker 1: just don't understand why they would pour that much money
Speaker 1: into building that thing. Like if you wanted some sort
Speaker 1: of tourist attraction, rebuild one of the par you know,
Speaker 1: like that is a genuine New Zealand tourist attraction that
Speaker 1: people want to see.
Speaker 3: Alan he would have been built by some church, wouldn't.
Speaker 1: If you if you're some UK tourists down in New Zealand,
Speaker 1: for yeah, they're like, we've got a castle that I'm
Speaker 1: all right.
Speaker 3: Dippen is that the thanks the servants?
Speaker 1: I think the other problem I think the other problem
Speaker 1: that we actual castle is this the gatehouse. The other
Speaker 1: problem we have is I don't know if Jeremy Wells
Speaker 1: is allowed back then, and if we've got him with us,
Speaker 1: he might be banned.
Speaker 3: Year after that. Miss New Zealand for casts with the
Speaker 3: old have yeah beging away in the stables.
Speaker 1: Ringing out across the ground. So look, that could be
Speaker 1: that could be a problem. But I think as of
Speaker 1: right now, everything's still up in the air.
Speaker 3: Is that roight?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 3: I think we're going to finalize it either today or tomorrow.
Speaker 3: We were going to go.
Speaker 1: I like the idea though, yes, by just thinking, yeah,
Speaker 1: another caller here, you're Spitz.
Speaker 6: Yeah, good a fellas just on the Luxe and versus
Speaker 6: Heart undercard on the David Nika Fight. Just wondering why
Speaker 6: don't we do a battle royale of all the New
Speaker 6: Zealand's TV hosts and then we do another battle royale
Speaker 6: of all New Zealand's radio hosts, and then we see
Speaker 6: who has the big show. Instead of putting yourself on
Speaker 6: disrepute at the awards, just seems like an easier way. Cheers.
Speaker 3: It's like a royal rumble. It'll be a lot more
Speaker 3: enjoyable to watch than the radio awards are. Oh yeah,
Speaker 3: a lot of egos in that room, as you can imagine.
Speaker 1: I've always said for the longest time that instead of
Speaker 1: the Radio Woods, we should have a night where everyone
Speaker 1: gets together and their mums come in and tell them
Speaker 1: that they love them, and then we don't have.
Speaker 3: To do the whole award stop looking next in a validation.
Speaker 1: Anyway, I'd agress Royal Rumble in the TV world would
Speaker 1: be absolutely hectic. I don't know who I think would
Speaker 1: win that. I guess if you're counting some of the
Speaker 1: former athletes. Is why on corpu a TV yeah have
Speaker 1: to say he is though you would have to say
Speaker 1: he is.
Speaker 3: Well, I think you'd say it's Monty Betham.
Speaker 1: Is Paul Gallon, he's not a New Zealander.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Monty Betham, Sonny Bell, Sonny Bell. Yeah. See, I
Speaker 3: mean that has four Yeah, I don't know, there's there's
Speaker 3: a different level because former athletes and then you've got
Speaker 3: Hillary Barry, yeah, Andrew Saville. You know, like you've got
Speaker 3: people like that who are just going to get Melissa
Speaker 3: chan Green correct, people that are just going to get
Speaker 3: strafed immediately.
Speaker 1: So, because how the Royal Rumble works is it's usually
Speaker 1: like two dudes start and then every few minutes another
Speaker 1: guy's introduced. So I don't know how that works when
Speaker 1: you've got genuine TV presient into Simon Della's in there
Speaker 1: and Mike McRoberts and they'd go and at it and
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, oh no, he comes, why
Speaker 1: don't you corporate?
Speaker 3: They'd all run for the hells and he'd just be
Speaker 3: there on his own until Monty Bethaan got there. And
Speaker 3: then it's an actual boxing. Yeah. Oh, you could throw
Speaker 3: Neil Walker in there. Neil he used to throw hands.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think.
Speaker 3: I think it'd be it'd be quite a tough watch.
Speaker 1: And then if you go across to the radio one
Speaker 1: I threw out Hoyt versus Hoskin. This is something I've
Speaker 1: wanted to see years.
Speaker 3: My god, that'd be so good. That'd be so good
Speaker 3: because they're both so dangerously skinny and small. They'll both
Speaker 3: be wearing jeans and they've both got quite big heads. Yeah,
Speaker 3: they're both we were in distress jeans, yes, And that
Speaker 3: would and like maybe Chucks or something or some sort of.
Speaker 1: HEYT would have Chucks, and then there'd be some sort
Speaker 1: of Louis Vuitton loafer.
Speaker 3: Yeah, lou Biton. Yeah. Yeah, that's the well h hip
Speaker 3: box and a loafer, I know.
Speaker 1: And Heath's point yesterday about I brought this up with
Speaker 1: him and he was like, oh, but there's just so
Speaker 1: much humiliating footage of Jason hoy in athletic endeavors, and
Speaker 1: I was like, only because he's been filmed doing it.
Speaker 1: I think if he filmed Hosking doing the same stuff,
Speaker 1: it would.
Speaker 3: Look just as bad. You know. So I don't know.
Speaker 1: I still think that one's even. I don't think the
Speaker 1: TB could split them. It'll be interesting to see, but
Speaker 1: I think in the Radio Royal Rumble it'll be pretty
Speaker 1: it'll be pretty tough going.
Speaker 3: What about Heath Heath and Bryce from the Rock?
Speaker 1: Oh? Well, Bryce did it recently? Did he fight Tammy Davis?
Speaker 1: Is that who he fought?
Speaker 3: Oh No, it wasn't that. Did Timmy Davis fight Jay Reeve?
Speaker 3: Maybe because Ja is quite a big unit.
Speaker 1: He is a big unit, giant We're talking about giant swedes.
Speaker 1: He's got one of the greatest. I think that would.
Speaker 3: Be Rice Casey, Matt Heath, I Reckon is a good one.
Speaker 3: Andrew Mulligan, Jeremy Wells. I think Welles would get him
Speaker 3: on the reach and height.
Speaker 1: Andrew Mulligan played for my social basketball team this Wednesday?
Speaker 3: Did he Yeah? Did he get angry? Because he's got
Speaker 3: an angry social sports player.
Speaker 1: N he didn't hear he hit a glorious little baby
Speaker 1: skyhook that I think they've posted on they think, don't
Speaker 1: go and look at it, look at ours instead, But uh,
Speaker 1: he did hit that. I feel like you could probably
Speaker 1: throw Roger in with Hosking and heyt oh, yeah that's true,
Speaker 1: that's true. It will be quite a good mix, and
Speaker 1: then you've got your edge. Visit him stuff. I don't
Speaker 1: think you know one wants to watch any anyway. And then
Speaker 1: I will fight my day's host storm he Tower any.
Speaker 3: Day of the week. In fact, I just think i'd
Speaker 3: love to beat the shadow Martin Devon. Mmmm, I think
Speaker 3: you could.
Speaker 1: I did last time they did the Fight for Life,
Speaker 1: white On you could be fought on the undercard. At
Speaker 1: that point, I was working in the mainstream sports media
Speaker 1: and I text white Onion said I'll scrap Beaver on
Speaker 1: the undercart and he just laughed another.
Speaker 3: I'm serious. And Devon's probably got way too much reach
Speaker 3: because he's quite tall, isn't he.
Speaker 1: Well, he did punch a kid in the office one.
Speaker 3: Oh, yes, he's got he's got he's.
Speaker 1: Got form, although from what I hear it didn't I
Speaker 1: don't know if it landed.
Speaker 3: No, I don't. I think it was just a wilding.
Speaker 3: I'd have to go. I'd have to go go down
Speaker 3: Loan to Dark Arts and just work on his kidneys.
Speaker 1: Anyway, we've gone too long on this one, but it
Speaker 1: is a fascinating topic. If this triggers anything for you,
Speaker 1: let us know on the voicemail another caller here your space.
Speaker 3: Yeah, good old lads, it's the reverse curse.
Speaker 7: I'm back again, just commenting on the charity boxing fight.
Speaker 3: I think we all saw.
Speaker 7: And remember the the old we scuffle after a few
Speaker 7: beers at three em and Wellington between the Kia Joannie
Speaker 7: and Justin Marshall cheese.
Speaker 3: I'd love to see that.
Speaker 7: We're in another result, but hopefully a care could smack
Speaker 7: her with the ship commentary out of them. So yeah,
Speaker 7: cheers lads of the Mother of Us suck the blues?
Speaker 1: Yeah does in Gloucester glasshouses. You know we're far far
Speaker 1: from us to be throwing stones about ship commentary with
Speaker 1: the purveyors.
Speaker 3: Of ship commentary. Mate. Okay, lucky that that was great
Speaker 3: that footage of because it was like I think it
Speaker 3: was Caleb k was holding him back outside. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: but you know that classic domat don't waste that may
Speaker 3: and then you could see the little frosted tips of
Speaker 3: you've never won anything, You've never won a work up? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Or is it Joannie that said that to Marshall.
Speaker 1: I don't know, no, no, no, I'm pretty sure that's
Speaker 1: what Marshall was saying to you Anie. It would have
Speaker 1: been funny to watch that one come to fruition and
Speaker 1: it's just jogged my memory. Steph mccayver, of course on
Speaker 1: the TV thing. He's fought in the Fight for Life
Speaker 1: I think three times.
Speaker 3: And he's been hospitalized three times. He got stretchered twice.
Speaker 3: I think you could put him in the same campus
Speaker 3: Hot Hosking and Roger. You could do it. You could
Speaker 3: do a tag team like I don't know.
Speaker 1: I I despite the fact he's been stretchered twice, I
Speaker 1: do think mcavee was the voice of boxing.
Speaker 3: He follows boxing.
Speaker 1: I think that gives him a leg up at least.
Speaker 3: Nat Poyton Hosky I don't know, and Roger fairly, I don't.
Speaker 3: I don't know either.
Speaker 1: I kind of do think you locked those four in
Speaker 1: a room. I think Mackiva walks out. You reckon I
Speaker 1: think he might. I think he might. Anyway, we need
Speaker 1: to set one of these up. Another caller here, yours.
Speaker 8: Please yellow celebrity charity boxing match, Glane versus when I
Speaker 8: get to take the dog over seas.
Speaker 3: Hey, I'm not getting dragged into this beef.
Speaker 1: Okay, I love that you for the longest time tried
Speaker 1: to say that it was me that was having the
Speaker 1: beef for them. There's a lot of the line, but
Speaker 1: that's that's a that's a suicide mission. If I'm getting
Speaker 1: the ring with AFB. I mean, I'm not sure how
Speaker 1: to approach that. Say, if I did, I would hope
Speaker 1: for a soldier's death.
Speaker 3: Go out on your shield. No, just come and like
Speaker 3: walk into just the cleanest right hock and then just
Speaker 3: go down like I don't want to be pummeled into
Speaker 3: submission after two or three rounds and come out with
Speaker 3: a face like a world as bench. I just want
Speaker 3: to clean. I just want to clean, clean, chinning, honorable dead.
Speaker 1: Yeah, would you last longer with ed Infanel Blake or
Speaker 1: Sydney Sweeney?
Speaker 3: Don't as that?
Speaker 1: Another caller here?
Speaker 3: You get a flower?
Speaker 5: Hey, g Lane, just in regards to your little convo
Speaker 5: about baseball, the other day. Yeah, but like you got
Speaker 5: into the last for two to three years, and once
Speaker 5: you actually get your head around the little idiosyncrasies, if
Speaker 5: you will, in the little rules and all that sort
Speaker 5: of jazz, it's actually a bloody good watch. So if
Speaker 5: you do take an acc trip to the stage to watch,
Speaker 5: hook me in.
Speaker 4: Are we there?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 6: It is.
Speaker 3: I quite like baseball in the fact that you're always
Speaker 3: in the game, like you can be Yeah, you can
Speaker 3: be four four down in the last stretch and you
Speaker 3: can have a loaded bases head a home run and
Speaker 3: be back in the game. There's a bit of az
Speaker 3: allowed in cricket, isn't there. Yeah, there is a bit
Speaker 3: you can you know this, you're going to lose, whereas
Speaker 3: the baseball you're always in. You're always in with the snaff.
Speaker 3: You could win it in the last last innings. Yeah.
Speaker 3: So I quite like that. I just I don't think
Speaker 3: I've got room for it in my life.
Speaker 1: That's what I've always said, You've got room for cricket
Speaker 1: all baseball, not both. I think Matt Heath might be
Speaker 1: the only one now.
Speaker 3: I think he's even waiting on that. I don't know
Speaker 3: he's wavering because he's also got the Warriors and he's
Speaker 3: gone full. He's gone into as well.
Speaker 1: Something he's going to give last one here call it
Speaker 1: yours please.
Speaker 7: Yeah good.
Speaker 3: Let's just wondering what's with all this funcks canory business?
Speaker 6: Why not just fuck?
Speaker 4: Why many didn't?
Speaker 8: Would all be heavy?
Speaker 3: That's a good point. I was with him for the
Speaker 3: first half of that. It's a good point. I mean
Speaker 3: you you're just you're basically bringing the whole of South
Speaker 3: Canderby down when in reality people just want to stay
Speaker 3: fuck way many. I know, I know.
Speaker 1: And the funniest thing is when you because so to
Speaker 1: send a voicemail you have to have signed up for
Speaker 1: iHeart Radio, and when you do that you have to
Speaker 1: put your area.
Speaker 3: Code, and I checked is sure enough.
Speaker 1: It's because within South Canterbury everybody hates why men and
Speaker 1: it's just.
Speaker 3: Like, what the fuck we can love them just with
Speaker 3: just a hot bed of just kind of mid provincial Canterbury.
Speaker 3: It's not anywhere else. No one's saying fuck North Otago.
Speaker 1: The funniest part about this whole thing is like, if
Speaker 1: you're from a small town around the country, you're better
Speaker 1: sworn rivals with the next town over. I fucking hate.
Speaker 3: It's like running it in the West Coast.
Speaker 1: They're like, yeah, they're like against Graymouse.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and they've got there's a village down the road,
Speaker 3: five hundred minutes down the road, there's sworn enemies. That's
Speaker 3: what is like.
Speaker 1: Everyone hates. They say that there the water is not
Speaker 1: safe to drain. Everyone's got six fingers. They shut the
Speaker 1: gates when the sun goes down. Blah blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 1: But the weirdest part is is that despite the fact
Speaker 1: that you hate the people five hundred meters down the
Speaker 1: road from you, nobody is more similar to you than them. Like,
Speaker 1: if you're anywhere overseas, you bump into someone from Timuru
Speaker 1: and you're from Wyman.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like going season ousies. I hate ossies. But
Speaker 3: when you have a ceas, you'll pumped in a cab
Speaker 3: and they're good sorts. Ye until they get together, Yeah,
