Yep. Every time I go over 0:00:32.200 --> 0:00:34.760 on away somewhere on holiday and I come back in 0:00:35.440 --> 0:00:37.560 Kate and clear from Radio Hodak. You sit out in 0:00:37.600 --> 0:00:40.240 the office, it's a water boarding. It's an absolute grilling. 0:00:40.360 --> 0:00:41.800 Yeah. 0:00:42.040 --> 0:00:45.280 And my question to you before the podcast was what 0:00:45.360 --> 0:00:48.559 percentage of men do you think propose purely because of 0:00:48.600 --> 0:00:50.880 the amount of people that wound them about when you're 0:00:50.880 --> 0:00:52.040 going to propose eighty three? 0:00:53.880 --> 0:00:55.520 I think it's higher. Do you think it's high? 0:00:55.520 --> 0:00:56.640 I think it might be higher. 0:00:56.920 --> 0:00:59.560 I look, yeah, there's quite a few of you at work, 0:00:59.600 --> 0:01:02.560 actually is Adam, There's Joe. Everyone's on a lot of 0:01:02.560 --> 0:01:04.600 heat there kind of in your thirties, you've been in 0:01:04.600 --> 0:01:07.679 a long term relationship. There is a lot of pressure. 0:01:07.760 --> 0:01:11.559 And you know what, that's why men invented the engagement, right, 0:01:11.720 --> 0:01:14.360 because it's like a force field of fuck off, Okay, 0:01:14.400 --> 0:01:17.400 stop asking, we're engaged, and then don't don't see it 0:01:17.400 --> 0:01:20.399 a wedding date, right, So there's no real commitment to 0:01:20.480 --> 0:01:23.119 an engagement apart from maybe a ring, but you get 0:01:23.120 --> 0:01:26.440 that from Grandma. Yes, yeah, and then that doesn't cost anything, 0:01:26.480 --> 0:01:28.640 doesn't cost you anything, and then you then you keep 0:01:28.680 --> 0:01:31.040 the wolves at bay and then that, But then I 0:01:31.080 --> 0:01:33.360 suppose the next waterboarding is whin's the wedding and you're like, oh, 0:01:33.360 --> 0:01:35.480 we're just saving up for it, yeah, just until we 0:01:35.520 --> 0:01:36.039 can afford it. 0:01:36.080 --> 0:01:37.520 Oh we're looking at a date next January. 0:01:37.520 --> 0:01:38.000 Will let you know. 0:01:38.080 --> 0:01:40.280 Yeah, yeah, we're just kind of like yeah, and you 0:01:40.360 --> 0:01:42.680 roll that over. That's better than the whole when you 0:01:42.720 --> 0:01:45.200 getting married. When you get married, and it's only I have. 0:01:45.319 --> 0:01:49.520 Never had a male friend of mine say when it's 0:01:49.520 --> 0:01:50.200 going to get married. 0:01:50.640 --> 0:01:51.160 Never once. 0:01:51.240 --> 0:01:54.040 The only time was when my mate proposed has messes 0:01:54.480 --> 0:01:57.240 just about six months ago, and then immediately it's just 0:01:57.240 --> 0:02:01.760 like we need to do it right. 0:02:01.880 --> 0:02:04.280 Yeah, So that as a play just to make you uncomfortable. 0:02:04.280 --> 0:02:05.720 I was like, you've just proposed to her so that 0:02:05.760 --> 0:02:08.400 you could do this to me. He goes, yeah, Oh, 0:02:08.440 --> 0:02:10.160 good on him. Least he's made a game of it. 0:02:11.440 --> 0:02:14.240 It's still only a proposal. Yeah, that's a right, it's sister, 0:02:14.520 --> 0:02:17.560 it's it's you know, you could even I don't know. 0:02:18.800 --> 0:02:20.280 Ring doesn't need to be that special. I mean, the 0:02:20.320 --> 0:02:22.000 girl's like a big dealer. It has to be a diamond, 0:02:22.000 --> 0:02:25.280 but diamond, but I can't afford a diamond. But my 0:02:25.360 --> 0:02:27.360 love for you is priceless. That kind of shit lab 0:02:27.440 --> 0:02:30.480 diamonds apparently, lab diamonds, Yeah, ethical. 0:02:30.520 --> 0:02:31.160 Effic. 0:02:32.960 --> 0:02:35.960 Sustainable, Yeah cool. 0:02:36.040 --> 0:02:37.399 Yeah, here is a ring. 0:02:37.480 --> 0:02:39.680 It's it's sustained. It's not a diamond, but it's a 0:02:39.720 --> 0:02:40.720 sustainable diamond. 0:02:40.720 --> 0:02:42.600 Looks you can't tell the difference between this and a 0:02:42.639 --> 0:02:43.280 real diamond. 0:02:43.480 --> 0:02:46.560 And there's no blood on your hands, correct, literally, yeah, 0:02:46.720 --> 0:02:47.880 through through a blood diamond. 0:02:48.400 --> 0:02:49.000 Good luck with it. 0:02:49.040 --> 0:02:51.200 For the longest time, I've always said I don't like 0:02:51.480 --> 0:02:54.600 if it didn't exist, I don't think we would invent it. 0:02:55.360 --> 0:02:57.520 The wedding as as it is at the moment, because 0:02:57.520 --> 0:03:02.760 when you look at like a like a catering bill. Say, 0:03:03.040 --> 0:03:05.239 if it's a catering bill for a birthday party, say 0:03:05.240 --> 0:03:08.040 it's whatever, one hundred dollars, just as a round number. 0:03:08.360 --> 0:03:10.240 Now you say it's a catering bill for a wedding 0:03:10.400 --> 0:03:11.200 two hundred dollars. 0:03:11.560 --> 0:03:14.160 Yeah, it's just like it's a scam. 0:03:14.240 --> 0:03:19.000 Admittedly, I spent seven years overseas, got engaged overseas, and 0:03:19.040 --> 0:03:21.720 got married at home while I was still working overseas. 0:03:22.040 --> 0:03:24.520 So for me, it was a great party. Came home, 0:03:24.800 --> 0:03:26.640 got one hundred and twenty mates and we just ripped, 0:03:26.960 --> 0:03:30.000 ripped a new one. Ye, got a marquee, stayed up 0:03:30.000 --> 0:03:32.480 all night. Yes, yeah, I had a party and then 0:03:32.520 --> 0:03:34.200 I could fly straight out of there again. 0:03:34.520 --> 0:03:35.720 Oh you left and went back? 0:03:35.880 --> 0:03:39.960 Yeah, and we paid for it with oil money. Yes, right, 0:03:40.040 --> 0:03:42.280 So I thought it was a great time and it 0:03:42.320 --> 0:03:43.480 was good to catch up with whole lot of friends. 0:03:43.520 --> 0:03:47.320 He hadn't seen in ages. But I imagine who hasn't. 0:03:48.480 --> 0:03:50.200 But I imagine if you're living here and you're seeing 0:03:50.240 --> 0:03:51.960 your friends all the time, You're like, why would I 0:03:52.000 --> 0:03:54.440 spend a couple of hundred bucks on your ship here 0:03:54.480 --> 0:03:55.960 when you're going to come and just ruin my wedding 0:03:55.960 --> 0:03:57.440 and drink all my person. Yeah, yeh yeah. 0:03:57.480 --> 0:03:59.560 I think that's why people have destination weddings. 0:04:00.120 --> 0:04:01.800 Times out of ten, it's just to weed out the 0:04:01.800 --> 0:04:04.000 people who are like, sorry, I just don't think I'll 0:04:04.040 --> 0:04:06.160 be able to make It's like, thank god, I really 0:04:06.200 --> 0:04:08.040 didn't want you there. That's why it's in Fiji. 0:04:08.560 --> 0:04:11.120 I did everyone. Colleague who still works here actually, who 0:04:11.120 --> 0:04:13.320 came to my wedding and he came up to me 0:04:13.360 --> 0:04:15.560 and he's like, I love drinking your free person line. 0:04:16.120 --> 0:04:18.040 He was like getting into it. And then I went 0:04:18.080 --> 0:04:21.000 to his wedding.

Yeah, but I'm comfortable with that 0:05:33.720 --> 0:05:35.520 as opposed to just telling him to his face. 0:05:35.520 --> 0:05:38.760 It's a huge statement.

I just keep thinking back to 0:06:55.360 --> 0:06:58.120 the times when, you know, when we won the World 0:06:58.160 --> 0:07:01.640 Test Championship, and I can't get past the fact that 0:07:01.720 --> 0:07:05.320 it was so good at that time, and why can't 0:07:05.320 --> 0:07:06.400 it be the same again. 0:07:06.520 --> 0:07:07.279 It's not your fault. 0:07:08.000 --> 0:07:11.000 It could just be good again the way that it was. 0:07:11.120 --> 0:07:14.200 We were so great together. We were so good together, 0:07:14.360 --> 0:07:17.520 and I saw a future for us if we could 0:07:17.600 --> 0:07:21.520 just get past these kind of things. I don't know 0:07:21.560 --> 0:07:23.240 how much more I've gotten me. I don't know how 0:07:23.280 --> 0:07:24.440 much more hurd I've gotten me. 0:07:24.840 --> 0:07:27.120 Thanks for sharing, man, Love you, Man, love you. 0:07:28.760 --> 0:07:30.040 I need to order my shirt. 0:07:31.080 --> 0:07:33.000 Well, I've got mine on today, you do. I actually 0:07:33.000 --> 0:07:35.320 put it on that. I slept in it. I slept 0:07:35.360 --> 0:07:37.840 in my black Cat supporters support at the cricket revage 0:07:38.000 --> 0:07:42.560 so much, so much so we've had to order another 0:07:42.560 --> 0:07:45.920 couple of Andy one hundred yesterday on the broadcast. If 0:07:45.960 --> 0:07:47.720 you want to get one tech shot to three D 0:07:47.840 --> 0:07:50.320 three secs. People go, you're making money out of it, 0:07:50.400 --> 0:07:53.200 trust me. No one's making money out of selling T shirts. Okay, 0:07:53.600 --> 0:07:56.080 what it's basically covering the cost. But what it is, 0:07:56.720 --> 0:07:59.160 it's like a badge and people. People have come up 0:07:59.200 --> 0:08:01.840 and hugged me in the street and it's okay, man, 0:08:01.880 --> 0:08:03.720 and don't even need to talk. They bring you in 0:08:03.760 --> 0:08:05.880 and go it's okay, and then you go, thanks man, 0:08:06.400 --> 0:08:08.680 and you walk away again. It's a beautiful moment. 0:08:08.680 --> 0:08:10.320 I want the audience to know we take no pleasure 0:08:10.320 --> 0:08:13.160 in this. Because someone came over to our our desk 0:08:13.240 --> 0:08:15.640 this morning and said, I love the Black Cap Supporter 0:08:15.720 --> 0:08:16.280 support group. 0:08:16.280 --> 0:08:17.240 It's such a good idea. 0:08:17.240 --> 0:08:19.840 You guys are like, this is brilliant, and I was like, 0:08:19.960 --> 0:08:22.760 I wish it didn't exist. I wish we didn't have to. 0:08:23.240 --> 0:08:28.040 You know, gladly give you a T shirt. But this 0:08:28.160 --> 0:08:30.600 is something that shouldn't have to exist. No, I know, 0:08:30.720 --> 0:08:33.680 but it has for a while now. It's existed for 0:08:33.720 --> 0:08:38.560 about close on maybe fifteen years. What went wrong? 0:08:39.800 --> 0:08:40.920 What went wrong yesterday? 0:08:40.960 --> 0:08:43.040 Oh my god, I don't know, Like it was just 0:08:43.040 --> 0:08:45.560 a fizzle out. Well, we gave away the last two 0:08:45.600 --> 0:08:49.319 overs thirty seven runs and twelve balls. They were nine 0:08:49.400 --> 0:08:53.800 down and they scored thirty seven runs in nine and 0:08:54.320 --> 0:08:58.559 twelve balls. Old Ken Rutherford he won it for them 0:08:58.600 --> 0:09:02.760 because he split the Adam He capta in New Zealand 0:09:03.280 --> 0:09:07.040 and cricket. He had a son who played cricket. But 0:09:08.840 --> 0:09:11.240 it was just so disappointing to have them nine down. 0:09:11.400 --> 0:09:13.280 We had them seven for seventy six and like the 0:09:13.320 --> 0:09:16.600 fifteenth over and then they were nine down for one 0:09:16.679 --> 0:09:20.679 hundred and we couldn't finish them off, and everyone's saying, oh, 0:09:20.720 --> 0:09:22.800 you got your sons wrong with the bowling came in 0:09:22.800 --> 0:09:25.040 in some didn't. He brought back Trent Bolt and Tim Sow. 0:09:25.040 --> 0:09:27.360 They had to finished these fuckers off and they were 0:09:27.440 --> 0:09:31.400 nine down and we should have. But Darryl Mitchell and 0:09:31.640 --> 0:09:33.480 Mitchell sat in a bowl the last two overs and 0:09:33.480 --> 0:09:34.920 they got dispatched for thirty seven. 0:09:35.080 --> 0:09:36.199 That is absurd. 0:09:36.559 --> 0:09:39.440 So that's what lost us the game. And then we 0:09:39.480 --> 0:09:41.360 came out fin Allen had a good start, he got 0:09:41.360 --> 0:09:45.560 twenty odd, but we just put the pressure was on. 0:09:45.640 --> 0:09:47.720 It was too much pressure to score it fucking ten, 0:09:47.800 --> 0:09:50.880 twelve and over from there and we fizzled out. The 0:09:50.920 --> 0:09:54.080 score card looks a lot better than what it was 0:09:54.120 --> 0:09:56.880 because Mitchell Satin hit three sixes in the last over, 0:09:56.920 --> 0:10:00.120 which meant nothing. So there was eighteen runs there ever 0:10:00.160 --> 0:10:02.280 gonna win it. They needed like forty off the last 0:10:02.280 --> 0:10:05.160 over to win and he hit three six Isn't it 0:10:05.200 --> 0:10:07.240 looks closer than it was. In fact, it was an act. 0:10:07.400 --> 0:10:11.200 It was hiding. We lost too many regular wickets. 0:10:11.880 --> 0:10:12.880 People just bowl. 0:10:12.720 --> 0:10:14.920 Well against us for some reason. I don't understand it. 0:10:14.960 --> 0:10:16.240 We just keep losing wickets. 0:10:16.320 --> 0:10:18.720 Yeah, and I had that thing that I always have 0:10:18.800 --> 0:10:20.920 when I'm watching cricket, particularly in T twenty, when you're 0:10:20.960 --> 0:10:24.240 watching us obliterate someone with the ball, yeah, and you're like, 0:10:24.320 --> 0:10:26.880 this is awesome, but are they about to do this 0:10:26.920 --> 0:10:29.679 to us as well? And sure enough, yeah they were. 0:10:29.720 --> 0:10:31.760 We did bowl well though they have them, have them 0:10:31.800 --> 0:10:34.000 seven down for seventy odd. It was like, yes, okay, 0:10:34.040 --> 0:10:36.840 this is us, We're backing this World Cup. And then 0:10:36.880 --> 0:10:40.079 that fucking Rutherford innings at the end, he's called sixty 0:10:40.080 --> 0:10:43.600 eight or thirty seven balls. He took it away from us. 0:10:43.840 --> 0:10:48.480 And but even then, didn't you think one forty was chaseable? 0:10:48.800 --> 0:10:52.160 One forty? I mean it's one fifty to win, one 0:10:52.240 --> 0:10:55.440 fifty one. The average on that pitch is one sixty 0:10:55.520 --> 0:10:58.520 I think in T twenties. Yeah, one fifty is chaseable. 0:10:58.720 --> 0:11:01.040 But we shouldn't been that. We should have been chasing 0:11:01.040 --> 0:11:03.960 one hundred, one hundred and ten at the most and 0:11:04.000 --> 0:11:07.240 we would have got that. And that's what was gutting. 0:11:07.400 --> 0:11:10.840 It was like, ah fuck that, just that little moment, 0:11:10.880 --> 0:11:13.440 those twelve balls, it was like fuck. 0:11:13.920 --> 0:11:16.920 Yeah. So the top two teams from each pool go 0:11:17.000 --> 0:11:22.360 through because we lost our first game against remind me Afghanistan. 0:11:23.400 --> 0:11:25.800 That means if you make me do that on Afghanistan 0:11:26.160 --> 0:11:27.880 and Wind. 0:11:28.160 --> 0:11:31.640 So basically top Yes, So both West Indies and Afghanistan 0:11:31.640 --> 0:11:34.719 are unbeaten right now. Yes, and both of them have 0:11:34.800 --> 0:11:38.000 one more game remaining against Papua New Guinea or Uganda 0:11:38.080 --> 0:11:38.400 or whatever. 0:11:38.520 --> 0:11:42.280 So so our hope is our only hope is they lose. 0:11:42.520 --> 0:11:44.520 They have to both lose those games. We have to 0:11:44.520 --> 0:11:47.199 lose both of when next two games. 0:11:47.080 --> 0:11:50.120 By heaps by heaps, which we should against Uganda and 0:11:50.120 --> 0:11:53.960 Papua New Guinea. We should salc them like like England 0:11:54.000 --> 0:11:57.880 did to who they mow this morning for seventy six. 0:11:58.240 --> 0:12:00.600 I didn't so Ireland. 0:12:01.559 --> 0:12:03.800 No, I wasn't Ireland. It was Scotland, I think. No, 0:12:03.880 --> 0:12:06.160 I don't know. It wasn't Scotland with someone else. Anyway, 0:12:06.320 --> 0:12:09.160 we need to have but Equatorial Guineas. The chances are 0:12:09.320 --> 0:12:13.880 very very slim. No, it's over, it's over. It is over. 0:12:14.720 --> 0:12:17.840 I think even if we do, even if Afghanisan drop 0:12:17.840 --> 0:12:20.400 a game, they've got us on run rate. Yeah, so 0:12:20.920 --> 0:12:23.640 we're done and they're not going to drop a game. 0:12:23.760 --> 0:12:25.240 We're brown, We're done. 0:12:25.559 --> 0:12:29.360 I the headlines have all been and even Gary stead 0:12:29.520 --> 0:12:32.600 to a degree kind of address that there weren't enough 0:12:33.040 --> 0:12:33.800 warm up games. 0:12:33.800 --> 0:12:35.600 I don't think a warm up game would have changed. 0:12:35.440 --> 0:12:38.600 I think condition. I think it does preparation. I mean, 0:12:38.640 --> 0:12:43.640 you look at we're we're goin a terrible record and 0:12:43.760 --> 0:12:46.000 build up. So remember when our tour at Australia for 0:12:46.000 --> 0:12:49.200 the Boxing Classic Boxing Day Test. We went to Australia 0:12:49.480 --> 0:12:53.800 and played no warm ups and we got absolutely pounded 0:12:53.840 --> 0:12:56.840 in Perth, and with no warm ups, decided not to 0:12:56.880 --> 0:12:58.480 do any warm ups in Australian conditions. 0:12:58.480 --> 0:12:58.880 Stick down. 0:12:58.920 --> 0:13:01.040 Now you've got it. You've got you do have to 0:13:01.080 --> 0:13:03.079 go over there and play some games. 0:13:03.120 --> 0:13:05.360 Right to get used to the pitch, the conditions totally. 0:13:05.520 --> 0:13:08.160 You can't just go on the nets. You've got to 0:13:08.200 --> 0:13:12.720 be out in the middle playing cricket. And that's why 0:13:12.920 --> 0:13:15.480 every other team and the competition played warm. 0:13:15.400 --> 0:13:18.760 Ups right except for us, because our excuse. 0:13:18.559 --> 0:13:20.960 Was we didn't have the full squad together. Fuck that, well, 0:13:20.960 --> 0:13:23.200 you've got eight players. Roll the eight players out, play 0:13:23.240 --> 0:13:27.800 last man's stands, steady, but get out there. And he 0:13:27.880 --> 0:13:30.280 came out and said that none were on offer, and 0:13:30.320 --> 0:13:32.160 the ICC don't come out much. And if you listen 0:13:32.240 --> 0:13:35.240 to the BYC podcast they tail into this. ICC never 0:13:35.320 --> 0:13:37.480 usually come out with any sort of statement around that, 0:13:37.600 --> 0:13:40.280 and they came out and said, that's bullshit. You got 0:13:40.320 --> 0:13:42.400 offered warm ups and you declined them because. 0:13:42.120 --> 0:13:43.400 We didn't have all our players together. 0:13:43.480 --> 0:13:46.720 Yeah, which also supplementary question, why didn't we have all 0:13:46.720 --> 0:13:48.320 of our players together? You know? 0:13:48.960 --> 0:13:51.880 Anyway, So I can't think of a worse World Cup 0:13:51.920 --> 0:13:55.800 campaign than this, where you I forever remember us making 0:13:56.000 --> 0:14:00.000 either the playoffs or quarterfinal, semi finals at least, yeah, 0:14:00.240 --> 0:14:04.120 making the next round we always have, Yeah, but we 0:14:04.400 --> 0:14:05.240 have nowhere near it. 0:14:05.440 --> 0:14:08.560 No, it was losing to Afghanistan. I don't think it 0:14:08.640 --> 0:14:10.520 hurt as much as it should have because we still 0:14:10.559 --> 0:14:13.040 had the Windy's game that could have kept us in it. 0:14:13.320 --> 0:14:14.679 And I think if it was the other way around, 0:14:14.679 --> 0:14:17.319 we would have been furious about the afghan loss. 0:14:17.960 --> 0:14:20.080 This is a country that has been war torn for 0:14:20.840 --> 0:14:23.880 many decades. People can't tour there. No, they've got no 0:14:23.960 --> 0:14:27.120 home ground. If you're a woman, you can't go to school. Correct, 0:14:27.760 --> 0:14:30.200 it is run. It is literally run by the teallybar. 0:14:30.360 --> 0:14:32.080 What do we need to take away from the Taliban 0:14:32.160 --> 0:14:35.240 to improve our cricketing stocks? 0:14:36.800 --> 0:14:39.040 They got something obviously we don't and they never had 0:14:39.040 --> 0:14:40.720 to ask for a warm up. 0:14:40.880 --> 0:14:43.640 And yeah, well demand a warm up. There had been 0:14:43.640 --> 0:14:46.160 a lot of terrorist activity in the lead ups to 0:14:46.240 --> 0:14:48.120 this World Cup as well. I'm not drawing a line 0:14:48.160 --> 0:14:50.960 between the two. I'm just saying that's what had happened. Also, 0:14:51.200 --> 0:14:53.480 fear is a great motivator, and for a lot of 0:14:53.480 --> 0:14:55.880 those guys in that Afghanistan team, you know. 0:14:55.880 --> 0:14:58.600 That they'd be very motivated. Yeah, you'd have to think. 0:14:58.440 --> 0:15:01.000 Well, that's the reason why at this World Cup there's 0:15:01.000 --> 0:15:03.600 spider cams and not drones, which was. 0:15:03.600 --> 0:15:08.680 Part of the which was the drones elsewhere was part 0:15:08.800 --> 0:15:12.560 of the drama used today when that catch had to 0:15:12.560 --> 0:15:15.040 get reviewed over and over and over again because allegitally 0:15:15.160 --> 0:15:16.600 hit one of the wires of the spider. 0:15:16.680 --> 0:15:18.920 Yeah, and if it hits the wires of spider came 0:15:18.960 --> 0:15:20.520 raor it hits a roof or any sort of structure, 0:15:20.520 --> 0:15:21.160 it's a dead ball. 0:15:21.520 --> 0:15:21.760 Yeah. 0:15:21.920 --> 0:15:25.240 That would have ripped down, rapped our undies completely because 0:15:25.240 --> 0:15:27.200 that was the second or third wicket. 0:15:27.640 --> 0:15:29.440 Yeah, I guess in the end it didn't matter. 0:15:29.520 --> 0:15:32.120 But so how if you're one of the players, do 0:15:32.160 --> 0:15:35.840 you get up for Papua New Guinea where you Gander, stupid. 0:15:35.520 --> 0:15:40.400 O'clock your Ganders. This is tomorrow at twelve thirty and lunchtime. 0:15:40.680 --> 0:15:40.920 Yep. 0:15:41.240 --> 0:15:43.600 And I'm calling that with Jason Hoytan and think man 0:15:43.640 --> 0:15:48.480 Heath is coming in to do that as well. The 0:15:48.480 --> 0:15:50.760 best thing they can do is make it a short 0:15:50.760 --> 0:15:53.760 one bowl you Gander out for fifty, get it in 0:15:53.800 --> 0:15:56.680 two overs and just save us the pain, because if 0:15:56.720 --> 0:15:59.640 they make it a game and make it difficult, that's 0:15:59.680 --> 0:16:00.640 going to be even harder. 0:16:00.800 --> 0:16:01.960 It's going to be harder to commentate it. 0:16:02.040 --> 0:16:02.320 Yeah. 0:16:02.360 --> 0:16:03.240 Well, just as just. 0:16:03.200 --> 0:16:05.920 As general supporters, I want them to grab you gander, 0:16:06.000 --> 0:16:08.720 strip them naked and spank their little asses. Yeah right, 0:16:09.320 --> 0:16:11.280 It just to prove a point because if they go 0:16:11.320 --> 0:16:13.480 out there and going no, look they're up and coming Nation, 0:16:13.640 --> 0:16:17.120 you know you're a plucky side, go and say you're 0:16:17.120 --> 0:16:17.880 going to waste them. 0:16:17.920 --> 0:16:20.880 So you are calling for a Ugandan massacre tomorrow? 0:16:20.920 --> 0:16:23.000 Absolutely clip that. 0:16:23.800 --> 0:16:26.080 All right, let's take a break before we commit any 0:16:26.080 --> 0:16:27.440 other international atrocities. 0:16:27.640 --> 0:16:29.760 Come back and whip around the weekend. Sporting Action. 0:16:32.520 --> 0:16:36.640 Super Rugby semi finals kickoff tonight Blues versus Brumbies will 0:16:36.680 --> 0:16:39.880 be commentating that live on Skysport nine myself and Matt Ward. 0:16:39.720 --> 0:16:42.440 And iHeart Radio. Don't forget on iHeart Radio. 0:16:42.520 --> 0:16:44.920 Free on iHeart Radio for whatever reason you've ended up 0:16:44.920 --> 0:16:46.520 in bed early. I quite like checking it on the 0:16:46.520 --> 0:16:48.280 old iHeart Radio for the slip. Oh you're in the 0:16:48.320 --> 0:16:50.560 car or wherever, wherever you are on the road, we 0:16:50.600 --> 0:16:53.400 won't hold it against you. What is your prediction for 0:16:53.480 --> 0:16:55.960 this game? It feels to me like the Blues are 0:16:56.000 --> 0:16:56.960 going to cruise through. 0:16:57.440 --> 0:16:57.600 Yes. 0:16:57.720 --> 0:16:59.600 Are we underestimating the Brumbies? 0:17:00.640 --> 0:17:04.080 I think everyone always underestimates the Brumbies for some reason. Yeah, 0:17:04.119 --> 0:17:06.119 but they did suck the last time they came to 0:17:06.160 --> 0:17:10.400 eaton Park in Round Robin, whether it's not looking good, 0:17:10.800 --> 0:17:12.119 whether it is looking atrocious. 0:17:12.200 --> 0:17:14.480 And you think that plays into the Brumbies. 0:17:14.080 --> 0:17:17.520 Yes, I do. I don't know why. I think purely 0:17:17.560 --> 0:17:20.480 because the Blues are the favorites, and anytime there's any 0:17:20.520 --> 0:17:27.760 sort of adverse conditions or circumstances, it always usually it's 0:17:27.760 --> 0:17:30.399 not favor The Blues correct all the favorites. Yeah, so 0:17:30.520 --> 0:17:32.840 that's why, because I imagine the Blues want to come 0:17:32.880 --> 0:17:35.280 out send a message when by fucking thirty points, but 0:17:35.320 --> 0:17:38.560 when it's pessing with rain, they can't do that. Yes, However, 0:17:39.040 --> 0:17:41.159 I still think they're too good for the Brumbies. I 0:17:41.240 --> 0:17:44.040 was hoping for a high scoring forty five twenty eight 0:17:44.400 --> 0:17:46.800 kind of score. Yeah, but I'm picking it's going to 0:17:46.800 --> 0:17:51.480 be like a twenty three twelve Yeah right, but turgid, 0:17:52.000 --> 0:17:53.720 but turgid and the wet. But I think the Blues 0:17:53.760 --> 0:17:56.440 will eventually grind them down. 0:17:56.400 --> 0:17:58.919 Yeap and throw into their chance to win their first 0:17:59.119 --> 0:18:03.320 legitimate title since two thousand and three. On the other 0:18:03.359 --> 0:18:04.920 side of the drawer on the Saturday night, you'll be 0:18:04.960 --> 0:18:05.840
