Speaker 1: Like from the Export Beer Garden's studios and brought to
Speaker 1: you by Export Ultra of the Beer for here. This
Speaker 1: is the Agenda Podcast for a Friday, the fourteenth of June.
Speaker 2: The Agenda Podcast, the home of Sporting Nonsense and clap Trap,
Speaker 2: brought to you by Next Sport.
Speaker 1: A vulture said, I wasn't going to talk about it
Speaker 1: on the podcast, but we're going to talk about it.
Speaker 1: There's been a spate of engagements in my friend group recently,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, and it has piled on more and more
Speaker 1: heat obviously on me. Yep. Every time I go over
Speaker 1: on away somewhere on holiday and I come back in
Speaker 1: Kate and clear from Radio Hodak. You sit out in
Speaker 1: the office, it's a water boarding. It's an absolute grilling.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And my question to you before the podcast was what
Speaker 1: percentage of men do you think propose purely because of
Speaker 1: the amount of people that wound them about when you're
Speaker 1: going to propose eighty three?
Speaker 3: I think it's higher. Do you think it's high?
Speaker 4: I think it might be higher.
Speaker 3: I look, yeah, there's quite a few of you at work,
Speaker 3: actually is Adam, There's Joe. Everyone's on a lot of
Speaker 3: heat there kind of in your thirties, you've been in
Speaker 3: a long term relationship. There is a lot of pressure.
Speaker 3: And you know what, that's why men invented the engagement, right,
Speaker 3: because it's like a force field of fuck off, Okay,
Speaker 3: stop asking, we're engaged, and then don't don't see it
Speaker 3: a wedding date, right, So there's no real commitment to
Speaker 3: an engagement apart from maybe a ring, but you get
Speaker 3: that from Grandma. Yes, yeah, and then that doesn't cost anything,
Speaker 3: doesn't cost you anything, and then you then you keep
Speaker 3: the wolves at bay and then that, But then I
Speaker 3: suppose the next waterboarding is whin's the wedding and you're like, oh,
Speaker 3: we're just saving up for it, yeah, just until we
Speaker 3: can afford it.
Speaker 4: Oh we're looking at a date next January.
Speaker 1: Will let you know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, we're just kind of like yeah, and you
Speaker 3: roll that over. That's better than the whole when you
Speaker 3: getting married. When you get married, and it's only I have.
Speaker 1: Never had a male friend of mine say when it's
Speaker 1: going to get married.
Speaker 4: Never once.
Speaker 1: The only time was when my mate proposed has messes
Speaker 1: just about six months ago, and then immediately it's just
Speaker 1: like we need to do it right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So that as a play just to make you uncomfortable.
Speaker 3: I was like, you've just proposed to her so that
Speaker 3: you could do this to me. He goes, yeah, Oh,
Speaker 3: good on him. Least he's made a game of it.
Speaker 3: It's still only a proposal. Yeah, that's a right, it's sister,
Speaker 3: it's it's you know, you could even I don't know.
Speaker 3: Ring doesn't need to be that special. I mean, the
Speaker 3: girl's like a big dealer. It has to be a diamond,
Speaker 3: but diamond, but I can't afford a diamond. But my
Speaker 3: love for you is priceless. That kind of shit lab
Speaker 3: diamonds apparently, lab diamonds, Yeah, ethical.
Speaker 4: Effic.
Speaker 1: Sustainable, Yeah cool.
Speaker 4: Yeah, here is a ring.
Speaker 3: It's it's sustained. It's not a diamond, but it's a
Speaker 3: sustainable diamond.
Speaker 4: Looks you can't tell the difference between this and a
Speaker 4: real diamond.
Speaker 1: And there's no blood on your hands, correct, literally, yeah,
Speaker 1: through through a blood diamond.
Speaker 3: Good luck with it.
Speaker 1: For the longest time, I've always said I don't like
Speaker 1: if it didn't exist, I don't think we would invent it.
Speaker 1: The wedding as as it is at the moment, because
Speaker 1: when you look at like a like a catering bill. Say,
Speaker 1: if it's a catering bill for a birthday party, say
Speaker 1: it's whatever, one hundred dollars, just as a round number.
Speaker 1: Now you say it's a catering bill for a wedding
Speaker 1: two hundred dollars.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's just like it's a scam.
Speaker 3: Admittedly, I spent seven years overseas, got engaged overseas, and
Speaker 3: got married at home while I was still working overseas.
Speaker 3: So for me, it was a great party. Came home,
Speaker 3: got one hundred and twenty mates and we just ripped,
Speaker 3: ripped a new one. Ye, got a marquee, stayed up
Speaker 3: all night. Yes, yeah, I had a party and then
Speaker 3: I could fly straight out of there again.
Speaker 4: Oh you left and went back?
Speaker 3: Yeah, and we paid for it with oil money. Yes, right,
Speaker 3: So I thought it was a great time and it
Speaker 3: was good to catch up with whole lot of friends.
Speaker 3: He hadn't seen in ages. But I imagine who hasn't.
Speaker 3: But I imagine if you're living here and you're seeing
Speaker 3: your friends all the time, You're like, why would I
Speaker 3: spend a couple of hundred bucks on your ship here
Speaker 3: when you're going to come and just ruin my wedding
Speaker 3: and drink all my person. Yeah, yeh yeah.
Speaker 4: I think that's why people have destination weddings.
Speaker 1: Times out of ten, it's just to weed out the
Speaker 1: people who are like, sorry, I just don't think I'll
Speaker 1: be able to make It's like, thank god, I really
Speaker 1: didn't want you there. That's why it's in Fiji.
Speaker 3: I did everyone. Colleague who still works here actually, who
Speaker 3: came to my wedding and he came up to me
Speaker 3: and he's like, I love drinking your free person line.
Speaker 3: He was like getting into it. And then I went
Speaker 3: to his wedding. I went to his wedding and I
Speaker 3: was head all these craft beers and I was like, hey,
Speaker 3: I was like, and I just tipped it out in
Speaker 3: front of him and I was like, oh, just it
Speaker 3: was getting a bit warm. Might get another one.
Speaker 1: And in the back here he's going with budgeted for
Speaker 1: four perpos.
Speaker 3: You know that guy that was for every two. I
Speaker 3: tipped out too, and I was just like, bag you asshole.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just don't think of it. If it didn't exist,
Speaker 1: we wouldn't be like like if it didn't exist. And
Speaker 1: your mate wroung you and was just like, hey, can
Speaker 1: you at great expense to yourself, could you fly to
Speaker 1: this place. Look what I'm throwing a mess of party?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, what's it for? Pretty into beang in this chick.
Speaker 1: At the moment, I'm like, okay, and you need us
Speaker 1: to be there?
Speaker 4: Why is that?
Speaker 1: You know?
Speaker 4: It's I want to get the government above lux and
Speaker 4: needs no.
Speaker 3: About everyone needs to know, everyone needs And we.
Speaker 1: Gloss over what is actually happening there and then they're
Speaker 1: all like, yeah, so after this, we're going to try
Speaker 1: for a baby.
Speaker 4: It's like, oh, so more banging. This is what we're
Speaker 4: and you've brought your mum yet.
Speaker 3: Well, look, it is a celebration to make aware to
Speaker 3: your father in law that you're banging your daughter.
Speaker 4: That's what it is.
Speaker 3: It's a public announcement that I'm having sex with your daughter.
Speaker 3: That's pretty much what it is. And it's an elaborate
Speaker 3: way of doing it. Yeah, but I'm comfortable with that
Speaker 3: as opposed to just telling him to his face.
Speaker 4: It's a huge statement. It is a huge statement.
Speaker 1: It's like, by the way, you're paying for it. So anyway,
Speaker 1: I'm still waiting for a dowry, and until I received that,
Speaker 1: I shall be until I received at least six head
Speaker 1: of Greford cattle up my driveway.
Speaker 3: Efids the Cattle of Choice.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, just you know, they put weight on.
Speaker 3: Hey. My name is Glane and I've been supporting the
Speaker 3: black Caps since more seriously, been supporting the black Caps
Speaker 3: since nineteen ninety one. And yesterday they hurt me again.
Speaker 3: We've been through a lot. I mean, it's happened all
Speaker 3: it's happened so many times that and I've got back
Speaker 3: with them and we've had great times. Two or three
Speaker 3: years we've been together and it was great times, and
Speaker 3: then they slipped back into their old ways and they
Speaker 3: hurt me. Then they come back with some champagne, and
Speaker 3: they come back with some flowers and new promises, and
Speaker 3: you know, and they they're different, and they say they're different,
Speaker 3: and they are for a while, but then then they
Speaker 3: hurt me again.
Speaker 1: Thank you for sharing your story of Elaine. My name
Speaker 1: is Menia Stuardan. Yesterday I was hurt again. It's okay, man,
Speaker 1: it's not your fault. I just keep thinking back to
Speaker 1: the times when, you know, when we won the World
Speaker 1: Test Championship, and I can't get past the fact that
Speaker 1: it was so good at that time, and why can't
Speaker 1: it be the same again.
Speaker 3: It's not your fault.
Speaker 1: It could just be good again the way that it was.
Speaker 1: We were so great together. We were so good together,
Speaker 1: and I saw a future for us if we could
Speaker 1: just get past these kind of things. I don't know
Speaker 1: how much more I've gotten me. I don't know how
Speaker 1: much more hurd I've gotten me.
Speaker 3: Thanks for sharing, man, Love you, Man, love you.
Speaker 1: I need to order my shirt.
Speaker 3: Well, I've got mine on today, you do. I actually
Speaker 3: put it on that. I slept in it. I slept
Speaker 3: in my black Cat supporters support at the cricket revage
Speaker 3: so much, so much so we've had to order another
Speaker 3: couple of Andy one hundred yesterday on the broadcast. If
Speaker 3: you want to get one tech shot to three D
Speaker 3: three secs. People go, you're making money out of it,
Speaker 3: trust me. No one's making money out of selling T shirts. Okay,
Speaker 3: what it's basically covering the cost. But what it is,
Speaker 3: it's like a badge and people. People have come up
Speaker 3: and hugged me in the street and it's okay, man,
Speaker 3: and don't even need to talk. They bring you in
Speaker 3: and go it's okay, and then you go, thanks man,
Speaker 3: and you walk away again. It's a beautiful moment.
Speaker 1: I want the audience to know we take no pleasure
Speaker 1: in this. Because someone came over to our our desk
Speaker 1: this morning and said, I love the Black Cap Supporter
Speaker 1: support group.
Speaker 4: It's such a good idea.
Speaker 1: You guys are like, this is brilliant, and I was like,
Speaker 1: I wish it didn't exist. I wish we didn't have to.
Speaker 1: You know, gladly give you a T shirt. But this
Speaker 1: is something that shouldn't have to exist. No, I know,
Speaker 1: but it has for a while now. It's existed for
Speaker 1: about close on maybe fifteen years. What went wrong?
Speaker 4: What went wrong yesterday?
Speaker 3: Oh my god, I don't know, Like it was just
Speaker 3: a fizzle out. Well, we gave away the last two
Speaker 3: overs thirty seven runs and twelve balls. They were nine
Speaker 3: down and they scored thirty seven runs in nine and
Speaker 3: twelve balls. Old Ken Rutherford he won it for them
Speaker 3: because he split the Adam He capta in New Zealand
Speaker 3: and cricket. He had a son who played cricket. But
Speaker 3: it was just so disappointing to have them nine down.
Speaker 3: We had them seven for seventy six and like the
Speaker 3: fifteenth over and then they were nine down for one
Speaker 3: hundred and we couldn't finish them off, and everyone's saying, oh,
Speaker 3: you got your sons wrong with the bowling came in
Speaker 3: in some didn't. He brought back Trent Bolt and Tim Sow.
Speaker 3: They had to finished these fuckers off and they were
Speaker 3: nine down and we should have. But Darryl Mitchell and
Speaker 3: Mitchell sat in a bowl the last two overs and
Speaker 3: they got dispatched for thirty seven.
Speaker 4: That is absurd.
Speaker 3: So that's what lost us the game. And then we
Speaker 3: came out fin Allen had a good start, he got
Speaker 3: twenty odd, but we just put the pressure was on.
Speaker 3: It was too much pressure to score it fucking ten,
Speaker 3: twelve and over from there and we fizzled out. The
Speaker 3: score card looks a lot better than what it was
Speaker 3: because Mitchell Satin hit three sixes in the last over,
Speaker 3: which meant nothing. So there was eighteen runs there ever
Speaker 3: gonna win it. They needed like forty off the last
Speaker 3: over to win and he hit three six Isn't it
Speaker 3: looks closer than it was. In fact, it was an act.
Speaker 3: It was hiding. We lost too many regular wickets.
Speaker 4: People just bowl.
Speaker 3: Well against us for some reason. I don't understand it.
Speaker 3: We just keep losing wickets.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I had that thing that I always have
Speaker 1: when I'm watching cricket, particularly in T twenty, when you're
Speaker 1: watching us obliterate someone with the ball, yeah, and you're like,
Speaker 1: this is awesome, but are they about to do this
Speaker 1: to us as well? And sure enough, yeah they were.
Speaker 3: We did bowl well though they have them, have them
Speaker 3: seven down for seventy odd. It was like, yes, okay,
Speaker 3: this is us, We're backing this World Cup. And then
Speaker 3: that fucking Rutherford innings at the end, he's called sixty
Speaker 3: eight or thirty seven balls. He took it away from us.
Speaker 1: And but even then, didn't you think one forty was chaseable?
Speaker 3: One forty? I mean it's one fifty to win, one
Speaker 3: fifty one. The average on that pitch is one sixty
Speaker 3: I think in T twenties. Yeah, one fifty is chaseable.
Speaker 3: But we shouldn't been that. We should have been chasing
Speaker 3: one hundred, one hundred and ten at the most and
Speaker 3: we would have got that. And that's what was gutting.
Speaker 3: It was like, ah fuck that, just that little moment,
Speaker 3: those twelve balls, it was like fuck.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So the top two teams from each pool go
Speaker 1: through because we lost our first game against remind me Afghanistan.
Speaker 1: That means if you make me do that on Afghanistan
Speaker 1: and Wind.
Speaker 3: So basically top Yes, So both West Indies and Afghanistan
Speaker 3: are unbeaten right now. Yes, and both of them have
Speaker 3: one more game remaining against Papua New Guinea or Uganda
Speaker 3: or whatever.
Speaker 1: So so our hope is our only hope is they lose.
Speaker 1: They have to both lose those games. We have to
Speaker 1: lose both of when next two games.
Speaker 3: By heaps by heaps, which we should against Uganda and
Speaker 3: Papua New Guinea. We should salc them like like England
Speaker 3: did to who they mow this morning for seventy six.
Speaker 4: I didn't so Ireland.
Speaker 3: No, I wasn't Ireland. It was Scotland, I think. No,
Speaker 3: I don't know. It wasn't Scotland with someone else. Anyway,
Speaker 3: we need to have but Equatorial Guineas. The chances are
Speaker 3: very very slim. No, it's over, it's over. It is over.
Speaker 3: I think even if we do, even if Afghanisan drop
Speaker 3: a game, they've got us on run rate. Yeah, so
Speaker 3: we're done and they're not going to drop a game.
Speaker 3: We're brown, We're done.
Speaker 1: I the headlines have all been and even Gary stead
Speaker 1: to a degree kind of address that there weren't enough
Speaker 1: warm up games.
Speaker 4: I don't think a warm up game would have changed.
Speaker 3: I think condition. I think it does preparation. I mean,
Speaker 3: you look at we're we're goin a terrible record and
Speaker 3: build up. So remember when our tour at Australia for
Speaker 3: the Boxing Classic Boxing Day Test. We went to Australia
Speaker 3: and played no warm ups and we got absolutely pounded
Speaker 3: in Perth, and with no warm ups, decided not to
Speaker 3: do any warm ups in Australian conditions.
Speaker 1: Stick down.
Speaker 3: Now you've got it. You've got you do have to
Speaker 3: go over there and play some games.
Speaker 4: Right to get used to the pitch, the conditions totally.
Speaker 3: You can't just go on the nets. You've got to
Speaker 3: be out in the middle playing cricket. And that's why
Speaker 3: every other team and the competition played warm.
Speaker 4: Ups right except for us, because our excuse.
Speaker 3: Was we didn't have the full squad together. Fuck that, well,
Speaker 3: you've got eight players. Roll the eight players out, play
Speaker 3: last man's stands, steady, but get out there. And he
Speaker 3: came out and said that none were on offer, and
Speaker 3: the ICC don't come out much. And if you listen
Speaker 3: to the BYC podcast they tail into this. ICC never
Speaker 3: usually come out with any sort of statement around that,
Speaker 3: and they came out and said, that's bullshit. You got
Speaker 3: offered warm ups and you declined them because.
Speaker 4: We didn't have all our players together.
Speaker 1: Yeah, which also supplementary question, why didn't we have all
Speaker 1: of our players together? You know?
Speaker 3: Anyway, So I can't think of a worse World Cup
Speaker 3: campaign than this, where you I forever remember us making
Speaker 3: either the playoffs or quarterfinal, semi finals at least, yeah,
Speaker 3: making the next round we always have, Yeah, but we
Speaker 3: have nowhere near it.
Speaker 1: No, it was losing to Afghanistan. I don't think it
Speaker 1: hurt as much as it should have because we still
Speaker 1: had the Windy's game that could have kept us in it.
Speaker 1: And I think if it was the other way around,
Speaker 1: we would have been furious about the afghan loss.
Speaker 3: This is a country that has been war torn for
Speaker 3: many decades. People can't tour there. No, they've got no
Speaker 3: home ground. If you're a woman, you can't go to school. Correct,
Speaker 3: it is run. It is literally run by the teallybar.
Speaker 1: What do we need to take away from the Taliban
Speaker 1: to improve our cricketing stocks?
Speaker 3: They got something obviously we don't and they never had
Speaker 3: to ask for a warm up.
Speaker 1: And yeah, well demand a warm up. There had been
Speaker 1: a lot of terrorist activity in the lead ups to
Speaker 1: this World Cup as well. I'm not drawing a line
Speaker 1: between the two. I'm just saying that's what had happened. Also,
Speaker 1: fear is a great motivator, and for a lot of
Speaker 1: those guys in that Afghanistan team, you know.
Speaker 4: That they'd be very motivated. Yeah, you'd have to think.
Speaker 3: Well, that's the reason why at this World Cup there's
Speaker 3: spider cams and not drones, which was.
Speaker 1: Part of the which was the drones elsewhere was part
Speaker 1: of the drama used today when that catch had to
Speaker 1: get reviewed over and over and over again because allegitally
Speaker 1: hit one of the wires of the spider.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and if it hits the wires of spider came
Speaker 3: raor it hits a roof or any sort of structure,
Speaker 3: it's a dead ball.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: That would have ripped down, rapped our undies completely because
Speaker 3: that was the second or third wicket.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I guess in the end it didn't matter.
Speaker 1: But so how if you're one of the players, do
Speaker 1: you get up for Papua New Guinea where you Gander, stupid.
Speaker 3: O'clock your Ganders. This is tomorrow at twelve thirty and lunchtime.
Speaker 1: Yep.
Speaker 3: And I'm calling that with Jason Hoytan and think man
Speaker 3: Heath is coming in to do that as well. The
Speaker 3: best thing they can do is make it a short
Speaker 3: one bowl you Gander out for fifty, get it in
Speaker 3: two overs and just save us the pain, because if
Speaker 3: they make it a game and make it difficult, that's
Speaker 3: going to be even harder.
Speaker 4: It's going to be harder to commentate it.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Well, just as just.
Speaker 3: As general supporters, I want them to grab you gander,
Speaker 3: strip them naked and spank their little asses. Yeah right,
Speaker 3: It just to prove a point because if they go
Speaker 3: out there and going no, look they're up and coming Nation,
Speaker 3: you know you're a plucky side, go and say you're
Speaker 3: going to waste them.
Speaker 4: So you are calling for a Ugandan massacre tomorrow?
Speaker 3: Absolutely clip that.
Speaker 1: All right, let's take a break before we commit any
Speaker 1: other international atrocities.
Speaker 4: Come back and whip around the weekend. Sporting Action.
Speaker 1: Super Rugby semi finals kickoff tonight Blues versus Brumbies will
Speaker 1: be commentating that live on Skysport nine myself and Matt Ward.
Speaker 3: And iHeart Radio. Don't forget on iHeart Radio.
Speaker 1: Free on iHeart Radio for whatever reason you've ended up
Speaker 1: in bed early. I quite like checking it on the
Speaker 1: old iHeart Radio for the slip. Oh you're in the
Speaker 1: car or wherever, wherever you are on the road, we
Speaker 1: won't hold it against you. What is your prediction for
Speaker 1: this game? It feels to me like the Blues are
Speaker 1: going to cruise through.
Speaker 3: Yes.
Speaker 1: Are we underestimating the Brumbies?
Speaker 3: I think everyone always underestimates the Brumbies for some reason. Yeah,
Speaker 3: but they did suck the last time they came to
Speaker 3: eaton Park in Round Robin, whether it's not looking good,
Speaker 3: whether it is looking atrocious.
Speaker 4: And you think that plays into the Brumbies.
Speaker 3: Yes, I do. I don't know why. I think purely
Speaker 3: because the Blues are the favorites, and anytime there's any
Speaker 3: sort of adverse conditions or circumstances, it always usually it's
Speaker 3: not favor The Blues correct all the favorites. Yeah, so
Speaker 3: that's why, because I imagine the Blues want to come
Speaker 3: out send a message when by fucking thirty points, but
Speaker 3: when it's pessing with rain, they can't do that. Yes, However,
Speaker 3: I still think they're too good for the Brumbies. I
Speaker 3: was hoping for a high scoring forty five twenty eight
Speaker 3: kind of score. Yeah, but I'm picking it's going to
Speaker 3: be like a twenty three twelve Yeah right, but turgid,
Speaker 3: but turgid and the wet. But I think the Blues
Speaker 3: will eventually grind them down.
Speaker 1: Yeap and throw into their chance to win their first
Speaker 1: legitimate title since two thousand and three. On the other
Speaker 1: side of the drawer on the Saturday night, you'll be
Speaker 1: commentating this one.
Speaker 3: That's cheap AVO member, oh avo.
Speaker 4: Yeah, this keeps getting there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, four thirty four thirty afternoon game. It is Chiefs
Speaker 1: versus Canes. I think that the winner of Super Rugby
Speaker 1: comes out of the semi vinyl, but I don't know
Speaker 1: who it is.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a tight one because my head says the Canes.
Speaker 3: Of a heart obviously says the Chiefs manner, but going
Speaker 3: on performance last week form last week, it's got to
Speaker 3: be the Chiefs. But saying that the Chiefs might get
Speaker 3: the blowback of the Canes performance last week, which that
Speaker 3: first half was the worst half of rugby i've seen
Speaker 3: the Canes play in a long time and they'll know
Speaker 3: that and they'll want to come out hissing on Saturday afternoon,
Speaker 3: So that might blow back on the Chiefs. However, Tim
Speaker 3: Horan said that first twenty minutes at rugby at Female
Speaker 3: Stadium against Queensland was the best twenty minutes of rugby
Speaker 3: he can remember. Yeah, right, Chiefs in terms of how
Speaker 3: clinical they were. They are up twenty one points to
Speaker 3: now within twenty So I don't know, it's funny because
Speaker 3: if they can carry that form through, it's going to
Speaker 3: be a fucking awesome game.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think this is going to be an awesome game
Speaker 1: because I think both teams can smell it. Yeah. You know,
Speaker 1: the Chiefs came agonizingly close last year and then the
Speaker 1: Canes have kind of almost.
Speaker 4: Came out of nowhere this year.
Speaker 1: You know, like they've they've been great from the start
Speaker 1: of the season, but this I don't think anyone predicted
Speaker 1: them to have the season that they've had. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: they'll be looking at it, gone, Fuck, here's our chance.
Speaker 1: This is the first chance in like eight years that
Speaker 1: we've had to really have a crack here.
Speaker 4: Yeah, So I think this is going to be an
Speaker 4: absolute barnstormer.
Speaker 3: I wait, I can't wait, and myself and mccaney are
Speaker 3: doing that. So if you're a Chiefs fan, get on
Speaker 3: a Skysport nine or iHeart Radio. If you're a Hurricanes fan,
Speaker 3: get on it and then abuse us via the text
Speaker 3: because what invariably happens is people love. It's almost a
Speaker 3: hate watch because then the Chiefs lose and the text
Speaker 3: machines full of thousands of abuse. So and the wheels
Speaker 3: are falling off the man of us. Shove the manipus
Speaker 3: up your ass. Yeah, all that kind of up sale,
Speaker 3: and we help it happily welcome that. Well mcconie doesn't.
Speaker 3: He gets a bit, He gets a bit twitchy on
Speaker 3: the text machine when it gets raw.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And then straight after that the Warriors are playing myself
Speaker 1: and Keys. You will be commentating that one. What a
Speaker 1: massive Saturday for the a sec in for sports fans.
Speaker 4: Super Saturday.
Speaker 3: And like we said said in the podcast on Tuesday,
Speaker 3: thank the Lord that common sense has prevailed. You can
Speaker 3: watch all of that on Skysport nine with no interruptions,
Speaker 3: no crossover. You don't have to choose between the two mistresses.
Speaker 3: You can sleep with them all.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Back to back to back, So from twelve thirty through
Speaker 1: until about nine o'clock you're susted.
Speaker 4: On Saturday.
Speaker 1: On the ACC the NBA, yesterday Boston went up three.
Speaker 1: Nill listens a little bit of a disappointing series. I
Speaker 1: think what they've figured out is every other team freaks
Speaker 1: out and just double teams Luka Doncicch.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he looks broken man. Yeah, he looks broken. His
Speaker 3: knees look like they're about to give way. Every time
Speaker 3: he's coming back back to court, he's like lumbering back.
Speaker 4: It's yeah to watch.
Speaker 5: Well, he's fat and and he's he's been fat as
Speaker 5: entire career and it hasn't mattered because he's still scoring
Speaker 5: fifty points and ten rebounds, ten assists.
Speaker 1: But I think as a series drags on, can you
Speaker 1: know everyone on the other team is six packed up? Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I think that does count for something. Yeah, he
Speaker 1: does look he looks like.
Speaker 3: A broken man about the third quarter. Yeah, he looks
Speaker 3: all over the shot.
Speaker 1: He's one of the toughest players to watch because he
Speaker 1: bitches constantly to the refs.
Speaker 4: It just doesn't stop. He's winning the entire time.
Speaker 1: If he was in your social basketball team, you'd probably
Speaker 1: kick him out, or you'd set up a new team
Speaker 1: that didn't have him in it. But three nil, and
Speaker 1: I know I always say always better bet on the
Speaker 1: team who's facing elimination if the other team hasn't.
Speaker 4: I don't know. I think this could be a sweep.
Speaker 3: And as it today, no, it's not today, it is,
Speaker 3: it's it's in it's in Dallas, so a back in Dallas.
Speaker 3: It's two and two, isn't it two?
Speaker 4: So this is in Dallas. The TARB can't split them.
Speaker 1: It's a dollar ninety for each, so they don't know
Speaker 1: who's going to win. I don't know if there's much
Speaker 1: money to be made in that game. I'd probably the
Speaker 1: only bit I was looking at that I might get
Speaker 1: on would be Luka Doncic's leading scorer in that game.
Speaker 3: Also, is it I would go. I'd go the MAVs
Speaker 3: because I think Boston want to win it at home.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, not that they're going to throw the game, no,
Speaker 3: but I think they may pump the brakes because basketball
Speaker 3: is kind of like that. They don't mind throwing a game,
Speaker 3: seven game series, yeah, and then go back to Boston
Speaker 3: and then winning at Boston. Because I reckon. There's something
Speaker 3: in a title at home.
Speaker 1: Yeah, when Lebron won that won with the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Speaker 1: They won it on the road against Golden State, and
Speaker 1: so they won, and obviously no one was there to
Speaker 1: celebrate with them. They had to fly back to fucking Cleveland,
Speaker 1: of all places. They stopped off in Las Vegas and
Speaker 1: they partied there, which the fans in Cleveland didn't really appreciate.
Speaker 1: But you're right, there is something about it. And it's
Speaker 1: not that they're going to go out and throw the game. No,
Speaker 1: that if they're down by ten points, they'll be like,
Speaker 1: you know what, fuck it, will come back and win
Speaker 1: the next one.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and they'll rest all the players, bench all the players,
Speaker 3: just let everyone rest up and then just hunt them
Speaker 3: at home. So I'd stick not my house, and that
Speaker 3: if I was a betting man, I would I would
Speaker 3: go for the MAVs just to jag one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, dollar ninety a little bit more. Not great eating,
Speaker 1: it's not great eating the US Open as well as
Speaker 1: teed off. This morning our time, Ryan Fox has finished
Speaker 1: his first round and he carded a three over, which
Speaker 1: isn't great, but it hasn't been great for anyone everyone's
Speaker 1: been blown up. I think Justin Rose is tied with him, and.
Speaker 4: He's still he's a shot ahead of Tiger.
Speaker 3: What's a predicted cut do you know?
Speaker 1: I haven't seen, but it's not looking good for him.
Speaker 1: For Ryan Fox, but like I said, it's not looking
Speaker 1: good for anyone. Patrick Kentley is leading at the moment,
Speaker 1: he's five under. Rory McElroy is tied for third, three under,
Speaker 1: and so I think for our agenda hunch this week,
Speaker 1: we should get on the US Open something to follow
Speaker 1: across the weekend.
Speaker 3: Well, definitely not Rory because he's not a closer. I've
Speaker 3: got he's proven he can't close his divorce and he's
Speaker 3: not going to close the US Open.
Speaker 1: He is the shortest odds at five dollars outright winner.
Speaker 1: You don't you don't like that dollars for it?
Speaker 3: Where is where Chefler sitting on the table?
Speaker 1: Scotti Scheffler is somewhere in the inside the top ten
Speaker 1: at the moment.
Speaker 3: De Chambo I don't mind.
Speaker 4: I don't mind Deshambo either.
Speaker 3: Can we can we go to Shambau Scheffler top five?
Speaker 1: No, because because it's kicked off, you can only get
Speaker 1: on the outright winter at the So we're gonna have
Speaker 1: to pick an outright winner for our agenda hunch this week.
Speaker 1: Aberg Ludwig Aberg, who has been a real revelation in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four.
Speaker 4: He is sickond at that time recording.
Speaker 3: How about then, because we've got a bit of bonus
Speaker 3: cash here, haven't we had it? Have about we? Can
Speaker 3: we spread it? Can we put can we put fetty
Speaker 3: on Scheffler and fetti on Oldberg? I feel, oh, you
Speaker 3: want to go all in? What's your hands?
Speaker 4: I don't want splinters of mass.
Speaker 1: I want to get it. I want to I want
Speaker 1: to be on one side of the fence or the other.
Speaker 1: I think I think we go geez?
Speaker 4: Is it boring to bed on cheflet?
Speaker 3: It is a little bit missionary?
Speaker 4: But but he is paying six dollars?
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's good eating. And you've got two more
Speaker 3: rounds to go.
Speaker 1: If we're saying it's boring to bet on a guy
Speaker 1: because we think he's gonna win, but he's also getting
Speaker 1: six dollars, that seems like a good part, then, doesn't it?
Speaker 3: Anytime chefer's playing six, I mean, we're how far off
Speaker 3: the leader is he?
Speaker 4: Again?
Speaker 1: I don't have the score before.
Speaker 3: We crashed it. He's like like ten over or anything.
Speaker 3: He must be in the conversation if he's six backs,
Speaker 3: because Rory's only five and he's coming third.
Speaker 1: Rory is tied for third with Bryce and d Chambeau.
Speaker 1: They are three under. Then Tony Fee. Now we go
Speaker 1: back to he may not have he may not have
Speaker 1: kicked off teet off yet I can't. I can't see
Speaker 1: him on there. But what now, chefless plus one? That's
Speaker 1: why he's six dollars.
Speaker 3: Okay, so he's got a bit of catching up to do,
Speaker 3: but he's still in the conversation.
Speaker 1: Through fifteen holes at the time recording this, he is
Speaker 1: plus one. It's behind John Day, he's behind Cam Smith,
Speaker 1: he's behind the homie Max Homer.
Speaker 4: Again, everyone's having a shock so far on those course.
Speaker 1: What about big t Bone Now, I mean.
Speaker 3: I know we're doing some lie.
Speaker 4: Yeah you really like?
Speaker 1: I printed them out so that we could pick one
Speaker 1: from there, and you've now got me going through. I
Speaker 1: can't find I can't find the odds pick one for
Speaker 1: the top five.
Speaker 4: It's not going to be Rory.
Speaker 3: No, you don't like you don't like Ludwig I don't
Speaker 3: mind it, Ludvig. I don't mind Alberg. It was between
Speaker 3: Olberg and Scheffler. For me, I think we got Scheffler
Speaker 3: six dollars for Shiffler. I think is ridiculous value. Okay,
Speaker 3: get checking on you.
Speaker 1: Already enough on your brainstorms. Let's take a quick break
Speaker 1: and we'll come back with yours.
Speaker 2: Please, yours please, rode By Leader, Home of the Last Sun.
Speaker 1: The Top, got about four of them to get through today,
Speaker 1: so let's rip straight in. Call the yours please you Gay.
Speaker 6: Collas Hey, I just want to come back your life.
Speaker 6: Fuck all people are going to super rugby these days.
Speaker 6: I can walk into any premier club rugby game for free,
Speaker 6: have a five dollar beers on the sideline, watching a
Speaker 6: good game of footy with no fucking TMO. It's just
Speaker 6: a way you getter entertainment for the less investment. Fuck
Speaker 6: who knew? Who knew that people would turn up for
Speaker 6: a good game of footy. We don't have to spend
Speaker 6: Fuck all who wrote.
Speaker 3: Look, I feel strongly about it and I can't disagree
Speaker 3: with him. I go down and watch our senior premiere
Speaker 3: club rugby team down the shore, and you know, any
Speaker 3: given Saturday and a nice Saturday afternoon. There could be
Speaker 3: you know, a thousand people there. Yeah, on the sideline.
Speaker 3: And he's right, you can have a if you're a member.
Speaker 3: There beers are five bucks. Get a five dollar fucking beer.
Speaker 3: He walked to the sideline, have a beer. And you
Speaker 3: can even get like a burger or whatever for seven
Speaker 3: bucks in the clubhouse.
Speaker 4: That's all people want, I know.
Speaker 3: But and that's all people want. And it's and he's right.
Speaker 3: The foot's great as well. Yeah, and it's you know,
Speaker 3: it's fast flowing. It's I mean, it's terrifying watching it
Speaker 3: because you're so close and you these bodies slamming into
Speaker 3: each other makes you WinCE.
Speaker 1: But it's good.
Speaker 3: But I suppose because of that live experience, you actually
Speaker 3: want to go and watch you know, higher performing teams.
Speaker 3: You want that same experience.
Speaker 1: I e.
Speaker 3: Make it easy because it's easy. All he's saying is
Speaker 3: it's easy to walk down, have a beer, a pie,
Speaker 3: watch the thing that just needs to translate to going
Speaker 3: to Eden Park or yeah, the cake turn It just
Speaker 3: that that that needs. But at the moment, it's not.
Speaker 1: No, it's not easy. It's anment you mentioned. If you've
Speaker 1: got kids, and it's a seven o'clock at night game.
Speaker 3: I don't go.
Speaker 4: It's a shit show.
Speaker 3: I don't go.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's too expensive, Yeah, it's too It's like you
Speaker 1: have to leave home so early just to get there.
Speaker 4: You don't enjoy it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, just the ease of it. And that's club club
Speaker 3: rugby is great, like you get into it, go to
Speaker 3: your local club rugby game. The clubhouses are great.
Speaker 1: And the no TMO thing I think is crucial.
Speaker 3: That was good because there's no stoppages. Yeah, you know
Speaker 3: what I mean, it's just boom boom boom everyone. It's
Speaker 3: pretty respectful. Everyone's pretty respectful of the referee.
Speaker 7: You know.
Speaker 3: It's not like the old days where everyone's is yelling
Speaker 3: at the refe so and at.
Speaker 1: Club level, whoever's got the whoever's the touch shutge, who's
Speaker 1: just one of the local guys from the club. He's
Speaker 1: going to give his team a couple of calls that
Speaker 1: you know, he's going to call back a try every
Speaker 1: now and then.
Speaker 3: And senor North Harbor Rugby, they have proper touches. The
Speaker 3: trainee referees. Yes, so it's not the phisio from the
Speaker 3: other team.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Well, but in most leagues.
Speaker 1: I would say that it is probably the physio and
Speaker 1: he's going to call your winger out of bounds when
Speaker 1: he's going to score a try. Yeah, but so's your
Speaker 1: guy when they come to your place.
Speaker 3: It all swings around it.
Speaker 4: It's all swings and roundabouts.
Speaker 1: I think that on the whole, on the aggregate, it
Speaker 1: comes out even and even with all the TMOS stoppages
Speaker 1: and blah blah blah, they still get the calls wrong.
Speaker 4: So I reckon Bennett. Yep, you're right. I completely agree.
Speaker 1: It's I can see why, and we need the professional
Speaker 1: game to to swing back that way a little bit totally.
Speaker 3: Just don't get don't give up on the on the
Speaker 3: don't give up on code altogether. And this guy hasn't
Speaker 3: down at his club.
Speaker 1: People still, we still love watching the game totally. It's
Speaker 1: just there's so many barriers between us and doing it.
Speaker 1: Another call here, yours, Please.
Speaker 4: You get a fellas.
Speaker 8: My black Caps Supporters support group t shirt arrived just yesterday,
Speaker 8: just in time. This is absolutely heartbreaking. Please help someone
Speaker 8: hold me.
Speaker 3: It's okay, man, it's not your fault. It's not your fault.
Speaker 4: Go and find someone else that has that T shirt.
Speaker 4: On as well.
Speaker 3: Just hug anyone, just you, you'll be able. You can
Speaker 3: almost tell the body language of a black Cap supporter
Speaker 3: today because if you lock eyes, you go and then
Speaker 3: come here, come here, come here, and then just you'll, you'll, you'll,
Speaker 3: you'll see it, You'll see someone. Just go out into
Speaker 3: the wild and find one.
Speaker 1: Just imagining someone coming in that might work with, like
Speaker 1: an Australian or something, or someone that wants to give
Speaker 1: them a ribbing.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, now's not the top. I've got enough on
Speaker 3: my phone. I've ignored them all. Yeah, why do you
Speaker 3: keep we suck? It was the first thing I got
Speaker 3: and I was like, fuck.
Speaker 1: You, it's too raw. Suck you disco another caller here,
Speaker 1: yours please?
Speaker 4: I blame this loss on grim Laine.
Speaker 7: Come on, you said he was going to head over
Speaker 7: to the Westerndies if we made the finals and look
Speaker 7: over from Twoway. I'm looking forward to rallying around my
Speaker 7: fellow Black app Supporter support group members in the community
Speaker 7: of Hall tomorrow morning.
Speaker 3: Yeah nice, we finished it off well, but look, no
Speaker 3: nothing to do with me. I haven't booked my flights
Speaker 3: and you're still here to get some still here, so
Speaker 3: there's no curse, So don't try and don't try and
Speaker 3: stain our campaign with me.
Speaker 1: We've got one more caller here, yours please?
Speaker 9: Yeah, good a fellas, hope you enjoyed field days. Use
Speaker 9: city slickers and your clean gum boots and your cattle sticks. Hey,
Speaker 9: what will be I reckon the chances of a Highland
Speaker 9: of the Brumbies final down at FML, but of an upset?
Speaker 9: What are you fucking American?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 1: Anyway, fuck South January.
Speaker 4: I'll take this one.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be pretty tough given them the Highlanders haven't
Speaker 1: made the playoffs and do not play at FML stadium.
Speaker 1: Was he meeting the chiefs presumably? But what I would
Speaker 1: say to anyone that wants to send in a voicemail,
Speaker 1: because we have copped so much fact checking and so
Speaker 1: much nine and succesexual Eagles fifteen eighteen, that if you're
Speaker 1: going to be sending in slandering us and saying fuck
Speaker 1: South Caterbury, make sure you at least know who's in
Speaker 1: the fucking semi one.
Speaker 3: Also, there's there's a lot of issues with that because
Speaker 3: I think the Chief's qualified fourth brumbyes third. So if
Speaker 3: the Brumbies beat the Blues Chiefs beat the Hurricanes, the
Speaker 3: finals gonna be in Canberra.
Speaker 1: Which is Super Rugby's worst nightmare.
Speaker 3: Absolutely worst nightmare.
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, I think on the whole not not
Speaker 1: very likely.
Speaker 4: No Highlanders will be in the final. Maybe next year.
Speaker 4: I don't know, there's always next year.
Speaker 3: I didn't think about that disaster actually, all the Brumbies
Speaker 3: upsetting the Blues and then.
Speaker 1: If it's Chiefs versus Brumbies in Canbra it would be
Speaker 1: the worst.
Speaker 4: But you also can't go.
Speaker 3: Maybe they could break the curse.
Speaker 4: You're going to go to Canberra.
Speaker 3: That's it. If the final, if the final is in Camera,
Speaker 3: I'm going.
Speaker 1: This is reach out, Airlines, reach out, Queen Australian Government
Speaker 1: Quantas Sterling Mortlock. We need to figure out if Glane
Speaker 1: can break the curse. And I think that somebody from
Speaker 1: Canberra should pay for this because it's in their best
Speaker 1: interest because if you go over there, the track record
Speaker 1: suggests the Chiefs will lose.
Speaker 4: But if you're confident that.
Speaker 1: You can't break the break the curse, this is a
Speaker 1: great gamble for someone from the Australian capital territory to bankroll.
Speaker 4: Us testing this curse.
Speaker 3: This is it I'll for it.
Speaker 1: I just want to say, Okay, well let's do it.
Speaker 3: That's that's a promise. If the Chiefs make the final
Speaker 3: and it's in Canberra, I'm going.
Speaker 4: I mean, it's an away game for the Chiefs either way,
Speaker 4: isn't it?
Speaker 3: Yeah, Blues if it's up here?
Speaker 4: But then you live in Auckland, So what happens there?
Speaker 1: What are the ramifications of the g line curse?
Speaker 4: If they play the final in Auckland and you're.
Speaker 1: There because you haven't traveled, that's cool. Look, that's something
Speaker 1: for us to discuss on Monday. If it happens. I
Speaker 1: really want the the Brumbies to win this. Now you've
Speaker 1: got a vested interest. I have a vested interest. All right,
Speaker 1: let's not this thing on the head. Enjoy your super Saturday,
Speaker 1: Enjoy your sporting weekend. We'll see you on Monday for
Speaker 1: another episode of the Agenda, and on the same feed
