Speaker 1: Live from the Export Beer Garden Studio and brought to you,
Speaker 1: as always by Export Ultra. The bear for here. This
Speaker 1: is the Agenda Podcast for Tuesday, the tenth of September.
Speaker 1: The Agenda Podcast, the home of Sporting Nonsense and clap Trap,
Speaker 1: brought to you by Export Ultra. We are in. We've
Speaker 1: moved the entire Export Ultra Beer Garden into the Haaky Studios.
Speaker 1: We've had to kick out Matt and Jerry and we're
Speaker 1: sitting in there in their seats because something pretty exciting's
Speaker 1: going on at our studio.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're getting a renovation of the acc studio and
Speaker 2: you described it yesterday actually because we emptied the studio
Speaker 2: out and anyone who's seen pictures of the a SEC
Speaker 2: studio it is like a teenage boys bedrooms slash clubrooms.
Speaker 1: If you ever had that mate whose house had like
Speaker 1: a basement or a garage that you could hang out
Speaker 1: and the parents are just like, just go out there
Speaker 1: and don't come back in again, That's what it was like.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and we emptied the whole thing and for the
Speaker 2: first time in probably four years, opened the curtains. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and it was very similar to a scene a strip
Speaker 2: club under full light.
Speaker 1: Yes it was.
Speaker 2: There were stains we could hadn't seen before. Oh my god,
Speaker 2: there was dust everywhere it was.
Speaker 1: We we had put a It was quite nostalgic going
Speaker 1: through all of the stains that we unearthed by way
Speaker 1: of seeing all the memories. There was this weird stain
Speaker 1: that looked like bleach had hit the floor in one
Speaker 1: corner of the studio and apparently that was from a
Speaker 1: time where Matt he fell asleep in the corner of
Speaker 1: the studio.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and he spelt as he fell asleep, he spelt something.
Speaker 1: I don't know what it was, something that had a
Speaker 1: bleaching effect on the carpet, which, yeah, so it can't
Speaker 1: have just been beer or champagne because that's all over
Speaker 1: the place, So I don't know what that was. There
Speaker 1: was two fragile stickers that had been placed down as
Speaker 1: markers on the floor and had baked into the carpet
Speaker 1: to wear. The carpet then said fragile ones. We pulled
Speaker 1: the stickers off. There a mystery stains all across the
Speaker 1: walls and the ceiling of the studio.
Speaker 2: I know they're not mystery. That's World Test Championship champagne.
Speaker 1: My friend.
Speaker 2: That that is, we sprayed it all all over the
Speaker 2: studio when we won that World Test Championship. Six days
Speaker 2: of staying up all night, and it culminated in that
Speaker 2: and I remember Heath and I covered Jason Hoyt and champagne. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and when all up the walls on the roof, it
Speaker 2: was dripping from the ceiling.
Speaker 1: And I mean, I'm sure I'm not giving too much
Speaker 1: away here when I say that that background behind us
Speaker 1: actually a green screen just to pull you inside the
Speaker 1: magic of television. And the green screen doesn't work that
Speaker 1: well because it is covered in champagne, which it's more
Speaker 1: a brown screen, which, if you've never seen before, it
Speaker 1: leaves a fealthy brown stain. It's not it's not like
Speaker 1: golden or anything. Then the one that was concerning me
Speaker 1: is and I'd never seen it until used today. It's
Speaker 1: on the outside of the studio. Up the front wall,
Speaker 1: there's an ACC logo, then up the top there's like
Speaker 1: another brown liquid. Did the celebrations spill out into the
Speaker 1: ad That could have been?
Speaker 2: That could have been during our hostile days when we
Speaker 2: were at war with Flavor Radio Station, which is right
Speaker 2: next to Yees. He says, we're throwing stuff at us
Speaker 2: and we locked ourselves in.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, so when we're under dures. That started when
Speaker 1: you threw a dildo from across the room and it
Speaker 1: stuck to the flavor sign.
Speaker 2: I mean, and just wabbled for about ten minutes.
Speaker 1: It's such a height that no one could fetch it
Speaker 1: down from there. That was quite powerful. So yeah, we've
Speaker 1: got you know, for all the bitching and morning we
Speaker 1: do about our own studio, we've finally done something about it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and when's that gonna be ready? Next week? Next week? Yes,
Speaker 1: so look out.
Speaker 2: Obviously it means it would mean absolutely nothing to people
Speaker 2: listening to podcasts, but it'll make us feel better about ourselves.
Speaker 1: Well, no, to the hundred people that watch it on YouTube,
Speaker 1: that's true. That's going to change everything.
Speaker 2: We could we could see the numbers, mumbers maybe double yeah.
Speaker 1: That's right. We'll be up sort of around the two hundreds,
Speaker 1: which is sort of mister Beast areas. Yeah, actually, release
Speaker 1: a chocolate I think we're going to have to burger
Speaker 1: and energy drink yeah yeah, yeah, fuck yeah, all that
Speaker 1: kind of stuff. We're just going to really target children
Speaker 1: with our marketing strategies, and as we were walking in here.
Speaker 1: Obviously met Jerry is still recording their podcast and they
Speaker 1: had David Nick in here, so I had to come
Speaker 1: in and spark him out and then drag his corpse
Speaker 1: out of the studio. And then as you walked in,
Speaker 1: united that we had relapsed back into the Cassowary chat. Yes.
Speaker 2: I walked down on zoning about and he goes, you
Speaker 2: guys still talking about fighting kangaroos and cassiarris and you're like.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, we're straight back into it because he posted
Speaker 1: this morning. So if you haven't listened, to go back
Speaker 1: and listened to the podcast that we did with him.
Speaker 1: We talked about what's the biggest animal you could fight
Speaker 1: in a one on one cage fight? And he then
Speaker 1: posted a video to social media the next day discussing
Speaker 1: the exact same thing. Well, what the fuck is this?
Speaker 1: Turns out he had filmed that like months ago and
Speaker 1: it only released it. He was like, it was so
Speaker 1: bizarre that you guys brought up what's the biggest animal
Speaker 1: you could beat in a cage fight? Because he had
Speaker 1: talked about it months ago but hadn't released the video yet.
Speaker 1: And I said, it's not bizarre, and it's not a fluke,
Speaker 1: because we talked about it all the time. That's all
Speaker 1: I think about. It consumes me. And so he somebody
Speaker 1: sent him after that, sent him a picture of a
Speaker 1: castle where his claw and said, does that guy still
Speaker 1: think he could better castle? So he posted on as
Speaker 1: a scrap story. You can go and have a look
Speaker 1: at it now, depending on when you listen to this,
Speaker 1: and it's big. It's a big bastard. You got to
Speaker 1: isolate that claw. Haven't you got two claws? They only
Speaker 1: got two yet. See, you'd be hard pressed if they
Speaker 1: more than that. But I honestly think, yes, the claw
Speaker 1: is gonna fuck me up. I'm not gonna knock you out.
Speaker 1: Though it's not gonna knock me out, you know, it'll
Speaker 1: open you up. Oh yeah, it'll hurt and I will
Speaker 1: need serious medical attention after this. But I'm saying fight
Speaker 1: to the death. I reckon. I went out, How smarter?
Speaker 1: Don't they famously have brains smaller than their eyes?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean they're birds. They're very, very dumb, and
Speaker 1: they're also very north south. That's what we were just
Speaker 1: discussing out in the office. There no lateral movement, no
Speaker 1: lateral movement and if you can get around, So apparently
Speaker 1: the book on a kangaroo is if you can get
Speaker 1: behind a tree, because they have to lean back on
Speaker 1: their tail for all of the leverage and they have
Speaker 1: well yeah, either they have to hop around, which is
Speaker 1: you know, and you're gliding around them at that point
Speaker 1: them up. So if you can use the tree, either
Speaker 1: that or get them on their on their heels, because
Speaker 1: they then will lean on their tail and at that
Speaker 1: point they can't go anywhere.
Speaker 2: Isn't that when they lean on their tailers when they
Speaker 2: bring their legs up and do that though.
Speaker 1: But they don't have much like pivot ability, they can't turn, So.
Speaker 2: Get them on its tail and they go round the
Speaker 2: site then lighted up.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I think. They are scary bastards though. Kangaroos.
Speaker 1: There was when I lived over in Australia the school
Speaker 1: around the corner from me got shut down because the
Speaker 1: mobile kangaroos had moved on over the weekend and it's
Speaker 1: too dangerous to have like kids running around, kids running
Speaker 1: and we got seven foot great Western red kangaroos in
Speaker 1: here and they like just can't get rid of themselves.
Speaker 2: Australian's there school shuts.
Speaker 1: Rooms everywhere, fucking everywhere. Yeah, I honestly, I don't think
Speaker 1: there's a I don't think there's a bird on earth
Speaker 1: that could beat me in a fire. Ah. Right, that's
Speaker 1: a big call. Get a bird to sign the contract.
Speaker 1: I don't think there's Are you throwing out the youth?
Speaker 1: Are you throwing out the challenge? Are you any bird,
Speaker 1: any bird that's listening to this, sign the contract. Let's
Speaker 1: get in the ring, let's figure it out. I think
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, ostriches are scary. They're bigger
Speaker 1: than Cassowarri's. I haven't got many weapons they have. They
Speaker 1: the clause again, it's the clause, and like the beak,
Speaker 1: I've been picked by an ostrich before. It's scary, but
Speaker 1: it doesn't it's not gonna to knock you out or
Speaker 1: hurt you. You know, if you can just brace for
Speaker 1: the fact that an ostrich is about to pick you.
Speaker 2: What about an eagle that you're in the ring and
Speaker 2: the eagles just diving down scratching your head.
Speaker 1: That's gonna be hard because you're really on its terms
Speaker 1: at that point, aren't you.
Speaker 2: Because it's not gonna the eagles not dancing with you
Speaker 2: in the ring, no circling the ring and die bombing you. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but I suppose you're always paying attention, so you could.
Speaker 1: And all I need to do is get hold of it. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And then again it's all on because the other thing
Speaker 1: about an egle is its main weapon is its face.
Speaker 1: So all I need to do is offer up a hand,
Speaker 1: you know, and I will lose that hand. Yeah. But
Speaker 1: once it's bit my hand, the neck game ring its neck,
Speaker 1: I'll rung a fucking eagle's neck. And you can write
Speaker 1: that down.
Speaker 2: It must be some fucked up bird in the Amazon
Speaker 2: somewhere or Metagascar that's would would miss you up.
Speaker 1: Well, I think it's the I think if it's anything,
Speaker 1: it's the Cassowary. And I think that's David Niko was
Speaker 1: right to bring up the cassary because it's got the
Speaker 1: big plated thing on the top of its head and
Speaker 1: that's how it runs through the bush. And as you said,
Speaker 1: it can get up to eighty killer's. I don't know
Speaker 1: if I buy that eighty killer is very heavy.
Speaker 2: That's like, what are you saying. You're saying that adie
Speaker 2: kilo you couldn't take an adie kilo.
Speaker 1: No, No, I'll stand by my initial clause. Fuck any
Speaker 1: burd up. I'm just saying I don't know if they
Speaker 1: do quite get up to Adie Kilo's Now. I would
Speaker 1: want a full training camp. I don't want. I don't
Speaker 1: want someone to walk into the studio on Monday with
Speaker 1: a you know, the the gun. Then I'd like at
Speaker 1: least a few months, and I'll grant the bird the same.
Speaker 2: So are you going to have ka SATs and Ostrich?
Speaker 2: You're gonna spar with an ostriche for six weeks in camp?
Speaker 1: Yeah? I think i'd have to. I've watched my missus
Speaker 1: slap the shit out of an ostrich before and for
Speaker 1: all intents and purposes, that's allegedly and reportedly.
Speaker 4: No.
Speaker 1: And you know people have ostriches on farms around the country. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know. And I reckon actually reach out ostrich farmers.
Speaker 1: Let us know.
Speaker 2: Have you ever ever thrown hands?
Speaker 1: Is one ever gotten a little out of hand and
Speaker 1: you've had to just, you know, course correct the ostrich
Speaker 1: a little bit? I don't know. I think Okay, I'd
Speaker 1: like to know. I'd like to know from an ostrich
Speaker 1: farmer out there, get in touch. One more thing I
Speaker 1: want to address before Unitto. Some extual sport is changing
Speaker 1: room etiquet. And I know we've talked about this before,
Speaker 1: loitering in the changing room. Where do you stand on this?
Speaker 1: I feel like if you're in the changing room, you
Speaker 1: need to actively be changing.
Speaker 2: Oh you're talking about gymnasiums, aren't you. Yeah, well you
Speaker 2: add a notorious gymnasium for loitering with intent.
Speaker 1: Yeah you know what I'm talking about. Yeah you.
Speaker 2: I mean, look, it will remain nameless that first name, Liz,
Speaker 2: but it is a gym that is renowned for the
Speaker 2: sauna activity, the spar activity, and loitering.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So I'm look, I mean I'm not for loitering.
Speaker 1: No, it brings a real atmosphere into the room, doesn't it.
Speaker 1: When someone's just sitting in there rubbing their pectoral muscle,
Speaker 1: that's a sign with a pair of headphones and not
Speaker 1: getting actively changed. No, no, no, I'm in like tights and shorts.
Speaker 1: So I just finished a workout and I was just
Speaker 1: sitting there.
Speaker 2: I in London at Fitness First Covent Garden, which I
Speaker 2: later found out was a gym renowned for loitering with intent.
Speaker 2: I was sitting ageing changed and they had hair dryers
Speaker 2: in there, and I've never seen anyone use a hair
Speaker 2: dryer because no, dudes don't really use hair dryer.
Speaker 1: Also, that another five minutes you have to be in
Speaker 1: that room.
Speaker 2: Yeah, until this guy came up full nude, threw one
Speaker 2: leg up on the bench, full package out, and just
Speaker 2: started hair drying sex.
Speaker 1: And I was like, dude, like about a meter from
Speaker 1: my face. He's like, because the shower after the gym,
Speaker 1: you don't. Actually it's not a great shower. You don't.
Speaker 1: That's not the cleanest you'll ever be, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. Like he's still sweating a little bit. So
Speaker 1: now he's just blasting his musk across the room at you.
Speaker 2: Know, you get in and out, in and out unless
Speaker 2: you're there for something else.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right. This is what was creeping me out.
Speaker 1: I was just like I managed to get in, have
Speaker 1: my shower, get changed, and leave, and he still hadn't
Speaker 1: got in the shower yet.
Speaker 2: That's because he didn't give him the right signs he'd give.
Speaker 1: Him that he would have.
Speaker 3: Week.
Speaker 2: Okay, we're on here until he's until he's got what
Speaker 2: he wanted. I don't think he think he's going to
Speaker 2: remain in that in that changing room, which, knowing your
Speaker 2: gym wouldn't be long.
Speaker 1: He just yeah, he just didn't. Just because his hook
Speaker 1: didn't catch a first didn't mean they weren't vision there.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, just before we go to a break. And
Speaker 1: after the break, by the way, we're going to get
Speaker 1: on one of the Tasman's biggest fans to to find
Speaker 1: out just what it means to the Northern South Island region.
Speaker 1: But before we do, wasn't it supposed to be cricket
Speaker 1: last night? Yes? Oh my god, what happened?
Speaker 2: It was the full McLean park John McLain park happened
Speaker 2: in India, drainage shit house. It rained two days before this.
Speaker 2: It was sunny all day but the outfield was so
Speaker 2: wet and boggy that they couldn't even play.
Speaker 1: And the forecast is.
Speaker 2: Not great, so showers today, tomorrow looks all right, next
Speaker 2: day rain. So look, I think this is one for
Speaker 2: the gods. This is fate that's gonna been this Test
Speaker 2: match for good because it actually shouldn't.
Speaker 1: Let's be honest, it shouldn't be played. Well, we've taken
Speaker 1: a stance against the oppressive Taliban regime and we're not
Speaker 1: commentating it. Yep, it's so. In fact, though I bother
Speaker 1: even playing it. I did see a photo. So all
Speaker 1: of the stories are like the it's a new venue,
Speaker 1: like it's one of the newer venues that they've ever
Speaker 1: tried to play a test on. And they said the
Speaker 1: ground staff have been working over time to try and
Speaker 1: clear all the water out. But the acture they used
Speaker 1: was ten guys standing around, eight of them in shoes
Speaker 1: and two dudes with brooms made out of like, you know,
Speaker 1: like sticks sticks. Yeah. I was like, I think I'm
Speaker 1: going to give them the benefit of the doubt here
Speaker 1: and say that they actually had proper equipment, but man,
Speaker 1: that they stretched them up with that. A couple of
Speaker 1: guys with witches brooms out there trying to get rid
Speaker 1: of you know me, biblical flooding. It's I don't don't.
Speaker 1: I don't see a result in this game at all.
Speaker 2: No, so I think they might get some playing today,
Speaker 2: but the forecast looks terrible and given the fact that
Speaker 2: the outfield is already sopping, we.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all you're going to do is just roll your ankle,
Speaker 1: do a hammy. Yeah. One of the I think one
Speaker 1: of the left ganey dudes did warming up. Yeah, injured
Speaker 1: himself and then also just quickly England got hammered. Yes,
Speaker 1: I saw that interesting against Sri Lanka.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Sri Lanka won by eight wickets. England's second innings
Speaker 2: is a shocker, one fifty six all out and then
Speaker 2: Sri Lanka chased the target when they lost two wickets.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's interesting as bes ball over the candler.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's just signed up. Cancel it now.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was it was just foxing us. You know. Once,
Speaker 1: once people figured it out, it was all going to
Speaker 1: be over. And now it's happened. So and bring him
Speaker 1: home to New Zealand. Yeah, all right, let's take a
Speaker 1: quick break. We're going to ring up Tony Lyle. All right.
Speaker 1: For the first time in their history, the Tasman Marco
Speaker 1: have lifted the shield over the weekend, defeating the Hawks,
Speaker 1: Bay Hawkses, Magpie's Hawks Bies, the Hawks Bay Swoopies and
Speaker 1: the region is a flutter. So we thought we'd better
Speaker 1: talk to our Northern South Island correspondent, Tony Lyle, a
Speaker 1: SEC commentator. Good morning, Tony. How does it feel mate?
Speaker 4: It feels bloody good man. I you need to sound
Speaker 4: a bit more excited about you. Sadly you've just woken
Speaker 4: up to get geed up. Shield fever has taken over Nelson,
Speaker 4: where it's come to the top of the South for
Speaker 4: the first time since nineteen seventy three when the marlbra
Speaker 4: Red Devils beat Canterbury and boy to the people, the
Speaker 4: provinces love the shield.
Speaker 3: Oh.
Speaker 1: This is one of my things about the Shielder is
Speaker 1: every time a new region wins it, they take it
Speaker 1: on a tour of the schools. Yeah, but everybody's heard
Speaker 1: a story about the shield that's like, you shouldn't let
Speaker 1: your kid anywhere near that shielder, for half of those
Speaker 1: stories are true. Have you heard anything about how the
Speaker 1: players celebrated after they won it?
Speaker 4: Well, I haven't heard anything about how they've celebrated specifically,
Speaker 4: and I think that's the best, to be honest, I'd
Speaker 4: rather that just sort of in the privacy of the
Speaker 4: changing ship. But I have seen a picture of my
Speaker 4: sister down there in Blenham, she works at the local distubblery,
Speaker 4: and Quentin McDonald, of course, pasan Marco the stallwart. He
Speaker 4: took it along to the mobile police station and did
Speaker 4: if we've ever show it around with all the police
Speaker 4: there and I couldn't help but think, geez, maybe keep
Speaker 4: the controlled substance steps away from the shield. The day
Speaker 4: after you've won it, you probably want to give it
Speaker 4: some clear area from a police station. Imagine the dog
Speaker 4: was going absolutely ape shit.
Speaker 2: That's like a preemptive strike from that store walks.
Speaker 1: He's like, right, let's take it to the cops.
Speaker 2: Do it to her, and then when we defend it
Speaker 2: agains against Wellington and getting a bit of travel in town.
Speaker 1: That's okay.
Speaker 4: The shield, Yeah, they'll let it slide. I think maybe
Speaker 4: they might have learned from hawks Bays the stakes and
Speaker 4: potentially you maybe run a bit of glad rap or
Speaker 4: something over it if you are going to pass take
Speaker 4: in any sort of tuitionable activities, just to you know,
Speaker 4: allow the arch shield and ability of anything if it
Speaker 4: does come back to you. No, technically we didn't do
Speaker 4: anything off the shield. Bit did it off, but the
Speaker 4: glad wrap that was on the shield, but the shield
Speaker 4: didn't touch anything.
Speaker 1: It remains in tech the monna of the shield.
Speaker 2: Hey, so Tony though, Like I looked at the drawer,
Speaker 2: you're straight away it's down to business because you've got
Speaker 2: Wellington coming to Tasman the setni for a challenge.
Speaker 1: That's going to be a that's going to be a
Speaker 1: good game.
Speaker 4: Yeah, fucking mate, I say bring them on. I reckon
Speaker 4: the Mighty Marker are going to gobble them up. It's
Speaker 4: the thing with the shield, you know, the Hooks Bay.
Speaker 4: They haven't actually been They've been a good enough side.
Speaker 4: It's like they've gone on to win the championship over
Speaker 4: this pretty decent shieshold era they've had, you know, the
Speaker 4: one hand lost it, but they out for the last
Speaker 4: few seasons, and there's something about that shield at those
Speaker 4: home games really bars up a team. So I'm hoping
Speaker 4: that that sort of gets and maybe they've had a
Speaker 4: chance to shake out the hangover, because I always do
Speaker 4: wonder how that would affect the team after they went
Speaker 4: a sh they'll probably go on to drink a sixty
Speaker 4: eight yers each and then one week later you got
Speaker 4: to the end of again. So hopefully they've kept that hat.
Speaker 4: But now I say bring it on. I reckon. Lansdown
Speaker 4: Park is a'stually going to be rocking on Saturday. And
Speaker 4: you got to remember this is there's not a shipload
Speaker 4: to do down there, and their dog will be heading
Speaker 4: down to Lansdowne Park to watch the big game.
Speaker 5: In the city slackers as well from Clington. These you know,
Speaker 5: people who work in Parliament all the day. These public
Speaker 5: sivins have besleep and cut from their job to now
Speaker 5: play rugby. We don't care about this city slact as
Speaker 5: I say, bring them over the straight and send them backpack.
Speaker 2: Yeah, put them on the Fury as well, get really
Speaker 2: really rub it on.
Speaker 4: Put them on the Yeah, no flights. The airport's closing.
Speaker 4: Left at the theory back, get to listen to some
Speaker 4: old man sing the Warritors song on they for three
Speaker 4: and a half hours to get back to Wellington.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then the electronics shut down. You've got to
Speaker 1: go back to Wellington, fly back over anyway.
Speaker 4: Yes, through the theory. Is the toys the unreliable which yeah,
Speaker 4: I don't want to say this just the entire land here.
Speaker 4: I think the Blue Bridge is also unreliable, so we
Speaker 4: can share aslander across both the court for steet.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Look, and there's also the five hundred million dollars
Speaker 1: that they spend on upgrading it and then didn't upgrade it.
Speaker 1: That's not what we're here to talk about. Can you
Speaker 1: do me a favor, Tony, and I know you have
Speaker 1: no bearing on the outcome of any of these games,
Speaker 1: but con Tasman, please just hold onto the shield because
Speaker 1: I don't know if you're familiar with South Canterbury's unbeaten
Speaker 1: run that stretches back almost four years now. They get
Speaker 1: to challenge for the Ranfilly Shield at the start of
Speaker 1: every season, but this year, because of funding issues, they
Speaker 1: weren't able to get up to Hawk's Bay. Surely though
Speaker 1: you can get from Timaru to blend him, you know.
Speaker 1: So if you guys could just hold on to it
Speaker 1: for one year and then give us a chance to
Speaker 1: take it off as please.
Speaker 5: That seems much more reason.
Speaker 4: What is why are you going to challenge every year
Speaker 4: that the club and all in New Zealand they gets
Speaker 4: one every year?
Speaker 1: Well it has been for the last four years, Tony,
Speaker 1: because it's whoever wins the Heartland Championship and so that's
Speaker 1: why South Keniary gets a chance to win it every year.
Speaker 1: I think it'd be great for rugby if the ran
Speaker 1: Philly Shield ended up back in the Heartland Championship.
Speaker 4: It'll be the biggest co Well, it would only last
Speaker 4: there for one game until they were subsequently absolutely wrapped
Speaker 4: apart by the next team they played from the actually MPC.
Speaker 4: But I know it mean it would be good to
Speaker 4: get it down there, but it basically is like I mean,
Speaker 4: by some other Tasman have won. But when it gets
Speaker 4: to the one of the two towns like Nelson, which
Speaker 4: of course it mustn't be based beforehand, or Tasman the mighty
Speaker 4: Marlborough read devils, you know that those are the people
Speaker 4: who basically are in the heartland team. From their perspective,
Speaker 4: they haven't seen that glory. They've seen a couple of trophies,
Speaker 4: but you know they don't get to rub shields. Say,
Speaker 4: beeting with the Marcos is the next this thing?
Speaker 1: Yeah, one hundred percent that Marco's team is stacked as well.
Speaker 1: There's so many good players in there. Do you think
Speaker 1: that this is a sign of things to come? Do
Speaker 1: you reckon? They could take the whole thing out?
Speaker 4: Well, I certainly hope so, and I couldn't help but
Speaker 4: think when I saw Finlay Cresty slap in the shield
Speaker 4: in a sort of sickly suggestive manner. When he was
Speaker 4: doing that, I wondered if he thought to himself, you know,
Speaker 4: getting drop from the All Blacks. Isn't that bad? I
Speaker 4: could have gone over to South Africa got spank too
Speaker 4: by the spring Box. Or I could stay in the
Speaker 4: South Island and win the Ramfley Shield for the first
Speaker 4: time for the province and look pretty good doing it.
Speaker 4: So I reckon he's probably first. But yes, go to therquestion.
Speaker 4: I realized on it. It's like Christie cheer here, but
Speaker 4: why not? And I think it always helps the team
Speaker 4: when they've got the shield. Let's say they go on
Speaker 4: a streak and win all their home games. They're sitting
Speaker 4: pretty for the finals just on the back of defending
Speaker 4: the shield, so hopefully they can do it. I reckon
Speaker 4: they why not? Like I said, they've got a pretty
Speaker 4: stacked team. Quintin strange of course, al Capri Khani is
Speaker 4: a big freak leaving the team around and mostly topics
Speaker 4: of Nahai get him that turnover and the last sick
Speaker 4: of that other game is just an outrageous physical specimen.
Speaker 4: So a few players like that, certainly they can do it.
Speaker 1: A couple of Heavilis among the ranks as well. Yeah, brilliant,
Speaker 1: well enjoy I'm sure you celebrates are raging on throughout
Speaker 1: the week Tony, enjoy that and hopefully you have a
Speaker 1: long rain with the shield mate.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, like you have very limited involvement with it,
Speaker 4: so hopefully the team does. I mean, I've done nothing
Speaker 4: really apart from poster as you support of Instagram posts
Speaker 4: and I hope that maybe being a free it from
Speaker 4: tet Marco outfit. But other than that, it's all the things,
Speaker 4: so go to boys and hopefully that can hang on
Speaker 4: to it.
Speaker 1: I had heard you hadn't stopped drinking since the weekend.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's sort of just to honest right, Yeah, I
Speaker 4: didn't even know the game was on. I was halfway
Speaker 4: through Tier.
Speaker 1: That you were down there. Brilliant. Thanks very much for
Speaker 1: joining us. Don't you go up no worries like boys,
Speaker 1: No you don't. It was great to have Tony join
Speaker 1: us there. And well I was going to say massive celebrations,
Speaker 1: but like you said, he's just been drinking since the
Speaker 1: weekend because that's just what he does. Yeah, it is
Speaker 1: now time to sound the NRL off field scandal, which Lane,
Speaker 1: I think you're going to do manually. Have you come
Speaker 1: up with a Josh and o'carr has allegedly turned a
Speaker 1: positive roadside cocaine test only days out from Canterbury's fairy
Speaker 1: tale run to the NRL Finals. Phil Guild took to
Speaker 1: social media and in the immediate aftermath of this to
Speaker 1: say the test results were negative and Josh was allowed
Speaker 1: to continue on his way. Happens to all of us
Speaker 1: at some stage on the roads. It's the police keep
Speaker 1: in the community safe. We appreciate their work. There's absolutely
Speaker 1: no truth to the rumors that Josh had any issue,
Speaker 1: none whatsoever. Enjoy your finals football everyone.
Speaker 2: I love this and this morning massive U tune yes
Speaker 2: from Phil gold El Guild.
Speaker 1: He's come out and said, look, he tested positive.
Speaker 2: There's a bit of a miscommunication around the police letting
Speaker 2: him get on his way, which he told obviously told
Speaker 2: everyone the police allowed him to go on his way
Speaker 2: and just maybe didn't mention the fact.
Speaker 1: That he tested positive. Yeah.
Speaker 2: So Phil Gild's come out and said he's tested positive.
Speaker 2: He's made a mistake. He hasn't tried to mislead anyone.
Speaker 2: It's like whatever whitewash have come in. Oh you think,
Speaker 2: but I've messed up the comms, right, I've gone too early,
Speaker 2: Phil Girl's gone too early.
Speaker 1: So he has been out. He was out last week
Speaker 1: for like a minor ankle issue, but they were saying
Speaker 1: that he was going to be back for the first
Speaker 1: week of the playoffs. I also saw that there was
Speaker 1: a massive, like statewide sting to try and find people
Speaker 1: who were drug driving. There was like ten thousand people
Speaker 1: that were pulled over and four hundred of them tested positive.
Speaker 1: Unluck yours. Unfortunately, it looks like allegedly he's been caught
Speaker 1: on his way in Jesse, gets one week off and
Speaker 1: he's out there, you know, tearing it up on the latrells. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Look, but like the NRL, they'll move on from this.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, whatever happens. I go, oh, yeah, he's just
Speaker 2: been it for a week or whatever, or he'll fight
Speaker 2: the charge and say.
Speaker 1: That it was in his drink bottle or something.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but people won't care as well about the NRAL.
Speaker 2: It's like, Eh, when young young dudes doing young.
Speaker 1: Dudes stuff, that's all right.
Speaker 2: But if it was Rugby, if it was Super Rugby,
Speaker 2: if this was like an all black it got pulled
Speaker 2: over and done.
Speaker 1: For it, holy shit.
Speaker 2: In press conference, people will be like trying to cover up.
Speaker 2: They'll be like pr crazy coms going on you.
Speaker 1: I just think you wouldn't hear about it, like whitewashed
Speaker 1: investigations get all over this thing straight away, and then
Speaker 1: all you would hear is that maybe josh Ado Carr
Speaker 1: was eating McDonald's in the wrong flat or something like that.
Speaker 1: He would you'd never find out what had actually happened
Speaker 1: to just get buried. But you're so right. The NRL
Speaker 1: is just like, this is what happened.
Speaker 2: And also, I think the real crime is josh Edo
Speaker 2: Carr's Ponytaip. That's the real crime here, not the fact
Speaker 2: that he's been on the nose beers, but because he's
Speaker 2: got that big party out the back, but he lets
Speaker 2: the party go during games, but then off field he
Speaker 2: ties it up and it looks nothing more sex offendery
Speaker 2: than that. So yeah, I think that is probably the
Speaker 2: crime that needs to be dealt with before the nose beers.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a powerful, powerful look. Remind me of in
Speaker 1: the NFL used today, Tyreek Hill, who's a wide receiver.
Speaker 1: He got arrested outside of his field where he was
Speaker 1: about to play. Did you see that. I think it
Speaker 1: was like a speeding violation in his ferrari on the
Speaker 1: way to the game. But that's so they go.
Speaker 2: So over the top of the cops in America because
Speaker 2: his black Ferrari is packed and he's face down on
Speaker 2: the road with all the cops all over the top
Speaker 2: of him.
Speaker 1: It's like, is that necessarious? Yeah, it's like, have a
Speaker 1: look at the NRL. This dude was doing drugs. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they let him go. They did him go on his way.
Speaker 1: That's quite buddy, as well as positive for cocaine. And
Speaker 1: then I just go home, go straight home there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like, that's quite funny because when you're drunk,
Speaker 2: when you're drug drunk driving, they don't you don't they
Speaker 2: an't go good luck in homemate and toss you the key.
Speaker 1: No, I don't know. Look again, we don't know whether
Speaker 1: there was anything and there or not the stories that
Speaker 1: there was testing a second sample, Yeah, that's right. I
Speaker 1: don't think it was like he was like high on
Speaker 1: his way and like when he got pulled over. I
Speaker 1: don't think it's the morning after I reckon, Yeah, like
Speaker 1: even the weekend. I don't know how long that stuff
Speaker 1: stays in your system. Reach out druggers, but.
Speaker 2: I think we do should we do our own research
Speaker 2: on the well, we.
Speaker 1: Always encourage people to do their own research their own.
Speaker 1: Might be about time to do our own. But yeah,
Speaker 1: so Tyrek Hill got pulled over a speeding violation. You
Speaker 1: got handcuffed, choked out, someone knelt on the back of
Speaker 1: his head because that's what they do in America. And
Speaker 1: then he went on to score an eighty yard touchdown
Speaker 1: and then he celebrated by putting his hands behind his
Speaker 1: back and another player handcuffed him. That was good, It
Speaker 1: was brilliant. That was great stuff, and it won me
Speaker 1: my fantasy league for this week. All right, it is
Speaker 1: a Tuesday, and we have moved half baked sports ideas
Speaker 1: to a Tuesday. So without any further ado, here is
Speaker 1: a half back sports idea, half me sports idea. And
Speaker 1: I'd like to give a big shout out to Logan
Speaker 1: O'Connell who messaged me this the other day, a dear
Speaker 1: friend of mine. He said, I got an idea for you.
Speaker 1: It's based around the Paralympics and it is able bodied jockey,
Speaker 1: blind horse. Let's find out. So let's find out who's
Speaker 1: doing what.
Speaker 2: So we are we're talking power animals now and putting
Speaker 2: power animals into game.
Speaker 1: Look if we've got animals in the Olympics. We need
Speaker 1: animals in the Paralympics. And I know they do have
Speaker 1: the horse ridding in the Paralympics, but the horses are
Speaker 1: generally fine, able bodies. Yes, that's true.
Speaker 2: Actually, so we're got to give the horses again, that's right.
Speaker 1: And if they say, you know, because we talked about
Speaker 1: during the Olympics, does the horse get a middle it doesn't.
Speaker 1: Only the jockey does. And we've all for the longest
Speaker 1: time we've said, how much of it's the horse, how
Speaker 1: much of it's the jockey. Well, I think the best
Speaker 1: and clearest way to find out is blind horse, because
Speaker 1: then it's all entirely on the jockey. The jockey's going
Speaker 1: to like let it know when to jump, when to turn.
Speaker 2: Do we have different categories because could you have a
Speaker 2: three legged horse as well, it would be a different
Speaker 2: kind of Yeah, different class you could.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that'd be tougher the blind the blind horse, you know,
Speaker 1: I don't I think they would go right, Yeah, I
Speaker 1: think they would because you got the jockey, you got
Speaker 1: the rider who can see.
Speaker 2: It was who can see and we'll steer and the
Speaker 2: rider is not going to steer them.
Speaker 1: Into a wall. No, it's the jumping that's going to
Speaker 1: be tough.
Speaker 2: That's a little dangerous, and I think potentially they may
Speaker 2: lower some of the cross country in particular.
Speaker 1: Looks a bit spicy. CrossCountry be too hard?
Speaker 2: Yeah, you going through the water and all that stuff.
Speaker 1: Did you see the blind marathon runner yesterday who got disqualified.
Speaker 1: So she was in bronze position and she you know,
Speaker 1: when they have to they run with a guide. Yes,
Speaker 1: and he could see, but unfortunately he could not run
Speaker 1: and he cramped up on the towards the finish line.
Speaker 1: So with about twenty meters to go, he'd been cramping
Speaker 1: for like the last hundred meters and with about twenty
Speaker 1: minutes to go, he was just like, look, I'm shot.
Speaker 1: She let go of the rope for a little bit
Speaker 1: and just sort of took off on her own. Eventually
Speaker 1: they did cross the finish line together, but because she
Speaker 1: let go of the rope, they took her middle of
Speaker 1: her Oh, and she finished bronze. It seems a bit stink.
Speaker 1: I know what, it's not an advantage to leave your
Speaker 1: guide behind it. You know that it runs straight into
Speaker 1: a tree. Yeah, why should you be pedalized? Look, if
Speaker 1: someone wants to show up on the starting line, she
Speaker 1: could have gone straight into the river scene. Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 1: And if someone wants to show up on the starting
Speaker 1: line and run without a guide, shouldn't they be allowed
Speaker 1: to and understand why letting go the rope was a
Speaker 1: proper So.
Speaker 2: Maybe maybe is it a partial can you impartially cited?
Speaker 2: And perhaps that's why a lot of those people had
Speaker 2: the blindfolds on, Yeah, because some of them are partially
Speaker 2: And it was like, right to make it even playing field,
Speaker 2: we're all going to.
Speaker 1: It's like to sit down volleyball. Yeah, so someone can
Speaker 1: walk a little bit. Look, just everyone sit down. I
Speaker 1: think that I think that if she was able to see,
Speaker 1: or at least someone else in the team probably could
Speaker 1: have looked at the guy that she was running with
Speaker 1: him and I don't think he's going to make it.
Speaker 1: Joe Jerry was just like, why did they hit the
Speaker 1: drummer from slipknot?
Speaker 2: But do they must get to choose their own guide?
Speaker 2: You don't turn out no, and they get allocated me
Speaker 2: or you and they go, oh for fox sake.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but she's never seen the guy as my problem rude?
Speaker 2: So if you fai actually maybe surely she's kind of
Speaker 2: run hands over him and going, you're a bit sloppy.
Speaker 2: You're not going to run a marathon and in an
Speaker 2: hour and a half, are you, buddy?
Speaker 1: In two hours? It was the hit the big giant
Speaker 1: chin strap go to you sort of situation going on anyway. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so that's half fake sports able body. Chuck is a
Speaker 1: blind horse. That's my idea. I reckon, I reckon. It's
Speaker 1: a guy although right up until you crash your horse
Speaker 1: and then it gets put down and they're like, let's
Speaker 1: bring this.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And not a lot of blind horses around us.
Speaker 1: It wow, but they don't. Probably don't. They don't make
Speaker 1: it to adulthood. Probably no, because because there's no use
Speaker 1: for them. But I'm proposing a use for them that
Speaker 1: could save lives in the long haul. You know what
Speaker 1: I mean.
Speaker 2: You could just put a blindfold on a really good horse.
Speaker 1: That's a very good point. It's a very good point.
Speaker 1: Blinders on the horses. All right, let's take one more
Speaker 1: quick break. We'll come back with yours please, yours please,
Speaker 1: brought to you by leader three of them to get
Speaker 1: through today, laying the first one goes like this, yours please.
Speaker 3: Good morning everyone, welcome to the first meeting of the
Speaker 3: All Black Supporters Group. Black Caps have currently led us
Speaker 3: lend us their facilities, so we have that tool the summer.
Speaker 3: But I would like to start with everyone just looking

Speaker 2: How correct that's going to we lose to them, then
Speaker 2: the supporters group and full swing.
Speaker 1: Yes, we'll really need each other. So we may even
Speaker 1: need to push back the Black Caps meetings there just
Speaker 1: to extend it. That's going to take to combine them.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's it's often a good opportunity to learn
Speaker 1: from other people's experience. Correct.
Speaker 2: So there'll be like one hundred Black Cap supporters in
Speaker 2: a room. Yeah, and you know, and an all black
Speaker 2: supporter comes in and goes, hey, guys, so him and
Speaker 2: I yeah, because I don't release port crackit bet I'm

Speaker 1: you stories about times when their teams let them down
Speaker 1: and hurt them, and different warning signs for you to
Speaker 1: look out for how to cope with the grief as well.

Speaker 2: the Black Cap supporters.

Speaker 1: could get a twenty five dollar token at the tab. Yeah,
Speaker 1: with sirumun Hillary's face on it.
Speaker 2: I'm not sure how that your state of siried would
Speaker 2: would appreciate that. But I mean, you never know, you
Speaker 2: might have been a punter in his day.
Speaker 1: Well, I suppose if you just put five five dollar notes,
Speaker 1: that's that's the same thing. Yeah, but appreciate that. And

Speaker 1: Well a few. Someone's in in a voicemail the other
Speaker 1: day saying that you apparently was a saving private Ryan. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I don't know. Yeah, maybe maybe we should make

Speaker 6: Cricket Final? Go Washington Freedom and fuck?
Speaker 5: Why?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 1: We a mata? Did you watch the Major League Final? No?
Speaker 2: The only better footage I've seen of the Major League
Speaker 2: cricket was Cory Anderson's catch where he attempted to jump
Speaker 2: off the ground and maybe got a couple of centimeters
Speaker 2: maybe half a centimeter off the ground. Yeah, he's certainly
Speaker 2: spent some time in the United States top paddock. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's the only footage I've seen of the Major League cricket.
Speaker 2: Should probably pay more attention to it, but I haven't.
Speaker 1: So much else going on, Yeah, except for the black
Speaker 1: Caps playing hopefully a bit of action tonight. But yeah, sorry,
Speaker 1: we covered that one for you. All Right, let's knock

Speaker 1: Two Halves, which premier is this Thursday, eight thirty on
Speaker 1: Sky Open. Well, my first question for her is why
Speaker 1: is she lowered her standards? Yeah, why is she hanging
Speaker 1: out with us? The last time we saw her, she
Speaker 1: was presenting the Olympics and I think we all loved
Speaker 1: her in that role, and now she's going to go
Speaker 1: and tarnish a reputation by hanging out with us. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I remember she was standing between David Beckham and Sushington
Speaker 2: Dawka during the World Cup.
