We are in. We've 0:00:17.520 --> 0:00:22.040 moved the entire Export Ultra Beer Garden into the Haaky Studios. 0:00:22.040 --> 0:00:24.040 We've had to kick out Matt and Jerry and we're 0:00:24.079 --> 0:00:28.040 sitting in there in their seats because something pretty exciting's 0:00:28.080 --> 0:00:29.040 going on at our studio. 0:00:29.200 --> 0:00:33.639 Yeah, we're getting a renovation of the acc studio and 0:00:34.880 --> 0:00:37.400 you described it yesterday actually because we emptied the studio 0:00:37.520 --> 0:00:40.080 out and anyone who's seen pictures of the a SEC 0:00:40.240 --> 0:00:45.080 studio it is like a teenage boys bedrooms slash clubrooms. 0:00:45.159 --> 0:00:47.040 If you ever had that mate whose house had like 0:00:47.080 --> 0:00:49.239 a basement or a garage that you could hang out 0:00:49.280 --> 0:00:50.800 and the parents are just like, just go out there 0:00:50.840 --> 0:00:52.600 and don't come back in again, That's what it was like. 0:00:52.680 --> 0:00:54.480 Yeah, and we emptied the whole thing and for the 0:00:54.520 --> 0:00:57.480 first time in probably four years, opened the curtains. Yeah, 0:00:57.520 --> 0:01:00.400 and it was very similar to a scene a strip 0:01:00.440 --> 0:01:01.880 club under full light. 0:01:02.080 --> 0:01:02.800 Yes it was. 0:01:02.840 --> 0:01:05.600 There were stains we could hadn't seen before. Oh my god, 0:01:05.720 --> 0:01:07.440 there was dust everywhere it was. 0:01:07.959 --> 0:01:11.360 We we had put a It was quite nostalgic going 0:01:11.400 --> 0:01:14.679 through all of the stains that we unearthed by way 0:01:14.720 --> 0:01:17.959 of seeing all the memories. There was this weird stain 0:01:18.000 --> 0:01:20.479 that looked like bleach had hit the floor in one 0:01:20.840 --> 0:01:23.120 corner of the studio and apparently that was from a 0:01:23.160 --> 0:01:25.240 time where Matt he fell asleep in the corner of 0:01:25.280 --> 0:01:25.760 the studio. 0:01:25.840 --> 0:01:28.160 Yeah, and he spelt as he fell asleep, he spelt something. 0:01:28.160 --> 0:01:30.200 I don't know what it was, something that had a 0:01:30.240 --> 0:01:33.119 bleaching effect on the carpet, which, yeah, so it can't 0:01:33.120 --> 0:01:35.240 have just been beer or champagne because that's all over 0:01:35.280 --> 0:01:39.080 the place, So I don't know what that was. There 0:01:39.160 --> 0:01:41.720 was two fragile stickers that had been placed down as 0:01:41.800 --> 0:01:44.640 markers on the floor and had baked into the carpet 0:01:44.720 --> 0:01:47.080 to wear. The carpet then said fragile ones. We pulled 0:01:47.080 --> 0:01:52.200 the stickers off. There a mystery stains all across the 0:01:52.240 --> 0:01:54.040 walls and the ceiling of the studio. 0:01:54.120 --> 0:01:57.160 I know they're not mystery. That's World Test Championship champagne. 0:01:57.200 --> 0:01:57.600 My friend. 0:01:57.920 --> 0:02:00.880 That that is, we sprayed it all all over the 0:02:00.880 --> 0:02:03.480 studio when we won that World Test Championship. Six days 0:02:03.480 --> 0:02:05.880 of staying up all night, and it culminated in that 0:02:06.000 --> 0:02:11.480 and I remember Heath and I covered Jason Hoyt and champagne. Yeah, 0:02:11.520 --> 0:02:13.240 and when all up the walls on the roof, it 0:02:13.280 --> 0:02:14.440 was dripping from the ceiling. 0:02:15.040 --> 0:02:17.560 And I mean, I'm sure I'm not giving too much 0:02:17.560 --> 0:02:19.960 away here when I say that that background behind us 0:02:20.040 --> 0:02:22.639 actually a green screen just to pull you inside the 0:02:23.160 --> 0:02:26.760 magic of television. And the green screen doesn't work that 0:02:26.760 --> 0:02:29.800 well because it is covered in champagne, which it's more 0:02:29.800 --> 0:02:32.519 a brown screen, which, if you've never seen before, it 0:02:32.560 --> 0:02:35.960 leaves a fealthy brown stain. It's not it's not like 0:02:36.120 --> 0:02:38.440 golden or anything. Then the one that was concerning me 0:02:38.720 --> 0:02:42.280 is and I'd never seen it until used today. It's 0:02:42.320 --> 0:02:45.320 on the outside of the studio. Up the front wall, 0:02:45.360 --> 0:02:47.760 there's an ACC logo, then up the top there's like 0:02:47.800 --> 0:02:50.920 another brown liquid. Did the celebrations spill out into the 0:02:51.160 --> 0:02:52.520 ad That could have been? 0:02:52.919 --> 0:02:55.079 That could have been during our hostile days when we 0:02:55.080 --> 0:02:57.840 were at war with Flavor Radio Station, which is right 0:02:57.880 --> 0:03:00.000 next to Yees. He says, we're throwing stuff at us 0:03:00.080 --> 0:03:01.040 and we locked ourselves in. 0:03:01.520 --> 0:03:08.240 Oh okay, so when we're under dures. That started when 0:03:08.280 --> 0:03:10.480 you threw a dildo from across the room and it 0:03:10.639 --> 0:03:12.679 stuck to the flavor sign. 0:03:12.480 --> 0:03:16.080 I mean, and just wabbled for about ten minutes. 0:03:16.320 --> 0:03:19.520 It's such a height that no one could fetch it 0:03:19.560 --> 0:03:22.200 down from there. That was quite powerful. So yeah, we've 0:03:22.240 --> 0:03:24.360 got you know, for all the bitching and morning we 0:03:24.360 --> 0:03:27.120 do about our own studio, we've finally done something about it. Yeah, 0:03:27.280 --> 0:03:30.119 and when's that gonna be ready? Next week? Next week? Yes, 0:03:30.200 --> 0:03:30.799 so look out. 0:03:31.240 --> 0:03:33.360 Obviously it means it would mean absolutely nothing to people 0:03:33.360 --> 0:03:36.520 listening to podcasts, but it'll make us feel better about ourselves. 0:03:36.560 --> 0:03:38.720 Well, no, to the hundred people that watch it on YouTube, 0:03:38.760 --> 0:03:40.360 that's true. That's going to change everything. 0:03:40.880 --> 0:03:44.360 We could we could see the numbers, mumbers maybe double yeah. 0:03:44.080 --> 0:03:46.840 That's right. We'll be up sort of around the two hundreds, 0:03:46.880 --> 0:03:50.160 which is sort of mister Beast areas. Yeah, actually, release 0:03:50.200 --> 0:03:52.280 a chocolate I think we're going to have to burger 0:03:52.640 --> 0:03:55.400 and energy drink yeah yeah, yeah, fuck yeah, all that 0:03:55.440 --> 0:03:57.640 kind of stuff. We're just going to really target children 0:03:57.800 --> 0:04:01.800 with our marketing strategies, and as we were walking in here. 0:04:01.840 --> 0:04:04.400 Obviously met Jerry is still recording their podcast and they 0:04:04.400 --> 0:04:06.120 had David Nick in here, so I had to come 0:04:06.160 --> 0:04:08.120 in and spark him out and then drag his corpse 0:04:08.120 --> 0:04:10.640 out of the studio. And then as you walked in, 0:04:11.760 --> 0:04:15.360 united that we had relapsed back into the Cassowary chat. Yes. 0:04:15.440 --> 0:04:16.840 I walked down on zoning about and he goes, you 0:04:16.880 --> 0:04:19.479 guys still talking about fighting kangaroos and cassiarris and you're like. 0:04:19.640 --> 0:04:22.640 Yeah, yes, we're straight back into it because he posted 0:04:22.720 --> 0:04:25.680 this morning. So if you haven't listened, to go back 0:04:25.680 --> 0:04:27.240 and listened to the podcast that we did with him. 0:04:27.279 --> 0:04:29.120 We talked about what's the biggest animal you could fight 0:04:30.240 --> 0:04:33.600 in a one on one cage fight? And he then 0:04:33.720 --> 0:04:37.960 posted a video to social media the next day discussing 0:04:37.960 --> 0:04:39.640 the exact same thing. Well, what the fuck is this? 0:04:39.839 --> 0:04:42.720 Turns out he had filmed that like months ago and 0:04:42.760 --> 0:04:44.560 it only released it. He was like, it was so 0:04:45.040 --> 0:04:47.200 bizarre that you guys brought up what's the biggest animal 0:04:47.240 --> 0:04:48.840 you could beat in a cage fight? Because he had 0:04:48.880 --> 0:04:51.839 talked about it months ago but hadn't released the video yet. 0:04:52.000 --> 0:04:53.640 And I said, it's not bizarre, and it's not a fluke, 0:04:53.680 --> 0:04:56.760 because we talked about it all the time. That's all 0:04:56.800 --> 0:05:00.440 I think about. It consumes me. And so he somebody 0:05:00.480 --> 0:05:04.640 sent him after that, sent him a picture of a 0:05:04.680 --> 0:05:07.200 castle where his claw and said, does that guy still 0:05:07.240 --> 0:05:09.159 think he could better castle? So he posted on as 0:05:09.200 --> 0:05:10.520 a scrap story. You can go and have a look 0:05:10.520 --> 0:05:12.200 at it now, depending on when you listen to this, 0:05:12.720 --> 0:05:15.520 and it's big. It's a big bastard. You got to 0:05:15.560 --> 0:05:17.680 isolate that claw. Haven't you got two claws? They only 0:05:17.680 --> 0:05:20.240 got two yet. See, you'd be hard pressed if they 0:05:20.360 --> 0:05:23.240 more than that. But I honestly think, yes, the claw 0:05:23.320 --> 0:05:25.560 is gonna fuck me up. I'm not gonna knock you out. 0:05:25.560 --> 0:05:27.679 Though it's not gonna knock me out, you know, it'll 0:05:27.680 --> 0:05:30.000 open you up. Oh yeah, it'll hurt and I will 0:05:30.040 --> 0:05:32.760 need serious medical attention after this. But I'm saying fight 0:05:32.839 --> 0:05:35.080 to the death. I reckon. I went out, How smarter? 0:05:35.560 --> 0:05:38.159 Don't they famously have brains smaller than their eyes? 0:05:38.279 --> 0:05:38.440 Yeah? 0:05:38.480 --> 0:05:41.200 Yeah, I mean they're birds. They're very, very dumb, and 0:05:41.200 --> 0:05:43.200 they're also very north south. That's what we were just 0:05:43.200 --> 0:05:45.479 discussing out in the office. There no lateral movement, no 0:05:45.560 --> 0:05:47.719 lateral movement and if you can get around, So apparently 0:05:47.800 --> 0:05:49.800 the book on a kangaroo is if you can get 0:05:49.839 --> 0:05:52.640 behind a tree, because they have to lean back on 0:05:52.680 --> 0:05:55.120 their tail for all of the leverage and they have 0:05:55.240 --> 0:05:57.320 well yeah, either they have to hop around, which is 0:05:57.480 --> 0:05:59.760 you know, and you're gliding around them at that point 0:06:00.200 --> 0:06:03.080 them up. So if you can use the tree, either 0:06:03.120 --> 0:06:05.640 that or get them on their on their heels, because 0:06:05.640 --> 0:06:08.000 they then will lean on their tail and at that 0:06:08.040 --> 0:06:09.279 point they can't go anywhere. 0:06:09.440 --> 0:06:11.240 Isn't that when they lean on their tailers when they 0:06:11.279 --> 0:06:13.360 bring their legs up and do that though. 0:06:13.480 --> 0:06:16.680 But they don't have much like pivot ability, they can't turn, So. 0:06:16.880 --> 0:06:18.800 Get them on its tail and they go round the 0:06:18.839 --> 0:06:21.160 site then lighted up. 0:06:21.240 --> 0:06:27.159 Yeah, that's what I think. They are scary bastards though. Kangaroos. 0:06:27.560 --> 0:06:30.640 There was when I lived over in Australia the school 0:06:30.680 --> 0:06:32.400 around the corner from me got shut down because the 0:06:32.400 --> 0:06:35.200 mobile kangaroos had moved on over the weekend and it's 0:06:35.240 --> 0:06:37.799 too dangerous to have like kids running around, kids running 0:06:37.800 --> 0:06:41.120 and we got seven foot great Western red kangaroos in 0:06:41.200 --> 0:06:43.400 here and they like just can't get rid of themselves. 0:06:43.400 --> 0:06:46.880 Australian's there school shuts. 0:06:46.440 --> 0:06:52.440 Rooms everywhere, fucking everywhere. Yeah, I honestly, I don't think 0:06:52.440 --> 0:06:54.600 there's a I don't think there's a bird on earth 0:06:54.640 --> 0:06:58.320 that could beat me in a fire. Ah. Right, that's 0:06:58.360 --> 0:07:00.400 a big call. Get a bird to sign the contract. 0:07:00.400 --> 0:07:02.360 I don't think there's Are you throwing out the youth? 0:07:02.400 --> 0:07:05.200 Are you throwing out the challenge? Are you any bird, 0:07:05.320 --> 0:07:08.159 any bird that's listening to this, sign the contract. Let's 0:07:08.160 --> 0:07:10.960 get in the ring, let's figure it out. I think 0:07:11.840 --> 0:07:14.200 I don't know. I mean, ostriches are scary. They're bigger 0:07:14.240 --> 0:07:17.800 than Cassowarri's. I haven't got many weapons they have. They 0:07:18.080 --> 0:07:20.800 the clause again, it's the clause, and like the beak, 0:07:21.080 --> 0:07:23.920 I've been picked by an ostrich before. It's scary, but 0:07:24.040 --> 0:07:26.600 it doesn't it's not gonna to knock you out or 0:07:26.680 --> 0:07:28.920 hurt you. You know, if you can just brace for 0:07:28.960 --> 0:07:30.680 the fact that an ostrich is about to pick you. 0:07:30.760 --> 0:07:33.800 What about an eagle that you're in the ring and 0:07:33.800 --> 0:07:35.800 the eagles just diving down scratching your head. 0:07:35.840 --> 0:07:37.640 That's gonna be hard because you're really on its terms 0:07:37.640 --> 0:07:38.360 at that point, aren't you. 0:07:38.480 --> 0:07:41.520 Because it's not gonna the eagles not dancing with you 0:07:41.560 --> 0:07:44.960 in the ring, no circling the ring and die bombing you. Yeah, 0:07:45.000 --> 0:07:47.200 but I suppose you're always paying attention, so you could. 0:07:47.320 --> 0:07:49.240 And all I need to do is get hold of it. Yeah. 0:07:49.240 --> 0:07:51.360 And then again it's all on because the other thing 0:07:51.360 --> 0:07:53.840 about an egle is its main weapon is its face. 0:07:54.400 --> 0:07:56.600 So all I need to do is offer up a hand, 0:07:56.680 --> 0:07:58.480 you know, and I will lose that hand. Yeah. But 0:07:58.520 --> 0:08:01.680 once it's bit my hand, the neck game ring its neck, 0:08:02.040 --> 0:08:04.760 I'll rung a fucking eagle's neck. And you can write 0:08:04.760 --> 0:08:05.200 that down. 0:08:05.680 --> 0:08:08.520 It must be some fucked up bird in the Amazon 0:08:08.600 --> 0:08:11.400 somewhere or Metagascar that's would would miss you up. 0:08:11.440 --> 0:08:13.320 Well, I think it's the I think if it's anything, 0:08:13.320 --> 0:08:16.000 it's the Cassowary. And I think that's David Niko was 0:08:16.080 --> 0:08:18.280 right to bring up the cassary because it's got the 0:08:18.280 --> 0:08:20.640 big plated thing on the top of its head and 0:08:20.680 --> 0:08:23.400 that's how it runs through the bush. And as you said, 0:08:23.440 --> 0:08:24.880 it can get up to eighty killer's. I don't know 0:08:24.880 --> 0:08:26.800 if I buy that eighty killer is very heavy. 0:08:27.120 --> 0:08:28.880 That's like, what are you saying. You're saying that adie 0:08:28.920 --> 0:08:30.360 kilo you couldn't take an adie kilo. 0:08:31.160 --> 0:08:35.400 No, No, I'll stand by my initial clause. Fuck any 0:08:35.440 --> 0:08:39.720 burd up. I'm just saying I don't know if they 0:08:39.720 --> 0:08:42.319 do quite get up to Adie Kilo's Now. I would 0:08:42.360 --> 0:08:46.600 want a full training camp. I don't want. I don't 0:08:46.640 --> 0:08:48.760 want someone to walk into the studio on Monday with 0:08:48.840 --> 0:08:53.720 a you know, the the gun. Then I'd like at 0:08:53.800 --> 0:08:56.280 least a few months, and I'll grant the bird the same. 0:08:56.920 --> 0:08:59.199 So are you going to have ka SATs and Ostrich? 0:08:59.240 --> 0:09:01.520 You're gonna spar with an ostriche for six weeks in camp? 0:09:02.320 --> 0:09:05.880 Yeah? I think i'd have to. I've watched my missus 0:09:05.920 --> 0:09:08.080 slap the shit out of an ostrich before and for 0:09:08.080 --> 0:09:10.280 all intents and purposes, that's allegedly and reportedly. 0:09:12.280 --> 0:09:12.439 No. 0:09:14.880 --> 0:09:17.839 And you know people have ostriches on farms around the country. Yeah, 0:09:18.000 --> 0:09:21.040 you know. And I reckon actually reach out ostrich farmers. 0:09:21.320 --> 0:09:21.840 Let us know. 0:09:21.960 --> 0:09:24.880 Have you ever ever thrown hands? 0:09:25.200 --> 0:09:27.160 Is one ever gotten a little out of hand and 0:09:27.200 --> 0:09:29.640 you've had to just, you know, course correct the ostrich 0:09:29.720 --> 0:09:34.160 a little bit? I don't know. I think Okay, I'd 0:09:34.160 --> 0:09:35.640 like to know. I'd like to know from an ostrich 0:09:35.640 --> 0:09:38.120 farmer out there, get in touch. One more thing I 0:09:38.120 --> 0:09:42.400 want to address before Unitto. Some extual sport is changing 0:09:42.480 --> 0:09:44.440 room etiquet. And I know we've talked about this before, 0:09:45.640 --> 0:09:48.280 loitering in the changing room. Where do you stand on this? 0:09:48.760 --> 0:09:50.800 I feel like if you're in the changing room, you 0:09:50.880 --> 0:09:52.480 need to actively be changing. 0:09:52.520 --> 0:09:55.120 Oh you're talking about gymnasiums, aren't you. Yeah, well you 0:09:55.320 --> 0:09:58.960 add a notorious gymnasium for loitering with intent. 0:09:59.600 --> 0:10:01.920 Yeah you know what I'm talking about. Yeah you. 0:10:02.280 --> 0:10:04.839 I mean, look, it will remain nameless that first name, Liz, 0:10:05.240 --> 0:10:08.440 but it is a gym that is renowned for the 0:10:08.480 --> 0:10:11.880 sauna activity, the spar activity, and loitering. 0:10:12.080 --> 0:10:12.320 Yeah. 0:10:12.360 --> 0:10:14.800 So I'm look, I mean I'm not for loitering. 0:10:14.880 --> 0:10:18.079 No, it brings a real atmosphere into the room, doesn't it. 0:10:18.400 --> 0:10:21.840 When someone's just sitting in there rubbing their pectoral muscle, 0:10:22.280 --> 0:10:24.960 that's a sign with a pair of headphones and not 0:10:25.000 --> 0:10:29.520 getting actively changed. No, no, no, I'm in like tights and shorts. 0:10:29.600 --> 0:10:32.160 So I just finished a workout and I was just 0:10:32.200 --> 0:10:32.760 sitting there. 0:10:32.840 --> 0:10:36.040 I in London at Fitness First Covent Garden, which I 0:10:36.160 --> 0:10:38.680 later found out was a gym renowned for loitering with intent. 0:10:40.440 --> 0:10:42.960 I was sitting ageing changed and they had hair dryers 0:10:43.000 --> 0:10:45.000 in there, and I've never seen anyone use a hair 0:10:45.080 --> 0:10:47.640 dryer because no, dudes don't really use hair dryer. 0:10:47.679 --> 0:10:49.800 Also, that another five minutes you have to be in 0:10:49.800 --> 0:10:50.079 that room. 0:10:50.160 --> 0:10:53.719 Yeah, until this guy came up full nude, threw one 0:10:53.840 --> 0:10:57.040 leg up on the bench, full package out, and just 0:10:57.080 --> 0:10:59.160 started hair drying sex. 0:11:00.480 --> 0:11:03.280 And I was like, dude, like about a meter from 0:11:03.320 --> 0:11:07.600 my face. He's like, because the shower after the gym, 0:11:07.720 --> 0:11:10.080 you don't. Actually it's not a great shower. You don't. 0:11:10.480 --> 0:11:12.240 That's not the cleanest you'll ever be, you know what 0:11:12.280 --> 0:11:14.560 I mean. Like he's still sweating a little bit. So 0:11:14.640 --> 0:11:18.800 now he's just blasting his musk across the room at you. 0:11:18.280 --> 0:11:20.000 Know, you get in and out, in and out unless 0:11:20.040 --> 0:11:20.920 you're there for something else. 0:11:21.000 --> 0:11:23.719 Yeah, that's right. This is what was creeping me out. 0:11:23.800 --> 0:11:25.480 I was just like I managed to get in, have 0:11:25.600 --> 0:11:28.280 my shower, get changed, and leave, and he still hadn't 0:11:28.280 --> 0:11:29.200 got in the shower yet. 0:11:29.200 --> 0:11:31.680 That's because he didn't give him the right signs he'd give. 0:11:31.559 --> 0:11:32.760 Him that he would have. 0:11:33.200 --> 0:11:33.400 Week. 0:11:33.520 --> 0:11:35.720 Okay, we're on here until he's until he's got what 0:11:35.760 --> 0:11:37.280 he wanted. I don't think he think he's going to 0:11:37.360 --> 0:11:40.520 remain in that in that changing room, which, knowing your 0:11:40.600 --> 0:11:41.400 gym wouldn't be long. 0:11:43.920 --> 0:11:46.920 He just yeah, he just didn't. Just because his hook 0:11:46.960 --> 0:11:48.839 didn't catch a first didn't mean they weren't vision there. 0:11:48.880 --> 0:11:51.280 Oh yeah, just before we go to a break. And 0:11:51.440 --> 0:11:52.839 after the break, by the way, we're going to get 0:11:52.840 --> 0:11:57.160 on one of the Tasman's biggest fans to to find 0:11:57.160 --> 0:12:00.000 out just what it means to the Northern South Island region. 0:12:00.600 --> 0:12:03.120 But before we do, wasn't it supposed to be cricket 0:12:03.160 --> 0:12:05.400 last night? Yes? Oh my god, what happened? 0:12:06.200 --> 0:12:10.480 It was the full McLean park John McLain park happened 0:12:10.520 --> 0:12:15.040 in India, drainage shit house. It rained two days before this. 0:12:15.200 --> 0:12:17.840 It was sunny all day but the outfield was so 0:12:18.200 --> 0:12:20.160 wet and boggy that they couldn't even play. 0:12:20.480 --> 0:12:22.000 And the forecast is. 0:12:21.960 --> 0:12:25.880 Not great, so showers today, tomorrow looks all right, next 0:12:26.000 --> 0:12:30.000 day rain. So look, I think this is one for 0:12:30.080 --> 0:12:34.520 the gods. This is fate that's gonna been this Test 0:12:34.600 --> 0:12:37.000 match for good because it actually shouldn't. 0:12:37.080 --> 0:12:39.400 Let's be honest, it shouldn't be played. Well, we've taken 0:12:39.400 --> 0:12:42.640 a stance against the oppressive Taliban regime and we're not 0:12:42.679 --> 0:12:45.720 commentating it. Yep, it's so. In fact, though I bother 0:12:45.760 --> 0:12:47.880 even playing it. I did see a photo. So all 0:12:47.920 --> 0:12:51.240 of the stories are like the it's a new venue, 0:12:51.720 --> 0:12:53.480 like it's one of the newer venues that they've ever 0:12:53.480 --> 0:12:55.480 tried to play a test on. And they said the 0:12:55.480 --> 0:12:58.680 ground staff have been working over time to try and 0:12:58.679 --> 0:13:00.839 clear all the water out. But the acture they used 0:13:01.240 --> 0:13:03.960 was ten guys standing around, eight of them in shoes 0:13:04.240 --> 0:13:07.240 and two dudes with brooms made out of like, you know, 0:13:07.480 --> 0:13:11.199 like sticks sticks. Yeah. I was like, I think I'm 0:13:11.200 --> 0:13:12.760 going to give them the benefit of the doubt here 0:13:12.760 --> 0:13:15.520 and say that they actually had proper equipment, but man, 0:13:15.559 --> 0:13:17.840 that they stretched them up with that. A couple of 0:13:17.840 --> 0:13:19.840 guys with witches brooms out there trying to get rid 0:13:19.880 --> 0:13:23.240 of you know me, biblical flooding. It's I don't don't. 0:13:23.640 --> 0:13:25.160 I don't see a result in this game at all. 0:13:25.280 --> 0:13:28.559 No, so I think they might get some playing today, 0:13:28.640 --> 0:13:30.959 but the forecast looks terrible and given the fact that 0:13:31.040 --> 0:13:33.040 the outfield is already sopping, we. 0:13:33.320 --> 0:13:35.680 Yeah, all you're going to do is just roll your ankle, 0:13:35.760 --> 0:13:38.120 do a hammy. Yeah. One of the I think one 0:13:38.120 --> 0:13:41.000 of the left ganey dudes did warming up. Yeah, injured 0:13:41.080 --> 0:13:45.400 himself and then also just quickly England got hammered. Yes, 0:13:45.440 --> 0:13:48.200 I saw that interesting against Sri Lanka. 0:13:48.320 --> 0:13:51.840 Yeah, Sri Lanka won by eight wickets. England's second innings 0:13:51.920 --> 0:13:54.880 is a shocker, one fifty six all out and then 0:13:54.920 --> 0:13:57.400 Sri Lanka chased the target when they lost two wickets. 0:13:57.440 --> 0:14:00.559 Yeah, it's interesting as bes ball over the candler. 0:14:00.760 --> 0:14:02.720 Yeah, he's just signed up. Cancel it now. 0:14:03.559 --> 0:14:06.079 Yeah, it was it was just foxing us. You know. Once, 0:14:06.200 --> 0:14:07.959 once people figured it out, it was all going to 0:14:08.000 --> 0:14:10.160 be over. And now it's happened. So and bring him 0:14:10.160 --> 0:14:12.520 home to New Zealand. Yeah, all right, let's take a 0:14:12.600 --> 0:14:17.640 quick break. We're going to ring up Tony Lyle. All right. 0:14:17.679 --> 0:14:20.440 For the first time in their history, the Tasman Marco 0:14:20.560 --> 0:14:24.560 have lifted the shield over the weekend, defeating the Hawks, 0:14:24.560 --> 0:14:31.520 Bay Hawkses, Magpie's Hawks Bies, the Hawks Bay Swoopies and 0:14:31.720 --> 0:14:34.000 the region is a flutter. So we thought we'd better 0:14:34.200 --> 0:14:37.560 talk to our Northern South Island correspondent, Tony Lyle, a 0:14:37.600 --> 0:14:41.080 SEC commentator. Good morning, Tony. How does it feel mate? 0:14:41.440 --> 0:14:43.080 It feels bloody good man. I you need to sound 0:14:43.080 --> 0:14:45.400 a bit more excited about you. Sadly you've just woken 0:14:45.480 --> 0:14:49.160 up to get geed up. Shield fever has taken over Nelson, 0:14:49.360 --> 0:14:50.800 where it's come to the top of the South for 0:14:50.800 --> 0:14:54.240 the first time since nineteen seventy three when the marlbra 0:14:54.360 --> 0:14:57.680 Red Devils beat Canterbury and boy to the people, the 0:14:57.680 --> 0:14:58.840 provinces love the shield. 0:14:59.040 --> 0:14:59.240 Oh. 0:15:00.000 --> 0:15:01.520 This is one of my things about the Shielder is 0:15:01.520 --> 0:15:03.480 every time a new region wins it, they take it 0:15:03.480 --> 0:15:06.280 on a tour of the schools. Yeah, but everybody's heard 0:15:06.280 --> 0:15:08.920 a story about the shield that's like, you shouldn't let 0:15:08.960 --> 0:15:11.280 your kid anywhere near that shielder, for half of those 0:15:11.320 --> 0:15:14.040 stories are true. Have you heard anything about how the 0:15:14.080 --> 0:15:15.800 players celebrated after they won it? 0:15:16.240 --> 0:15:19.680 Well, I haven't heard anything about how they've celebrated specifically, 0:15:19.680 --> 0:15:21.280 and I think that's the best, to be honest, I'd 0:15:21.360 --> 0:15:23.680 rather that just sort of in the privacy of the 0:15:23.920 --> 0:15:26.800 changing ship. But I have seen a picture of my 0:15:26.920 --> 0:15:30.400 sister down there in Blenham, she works at the local distubblery, 0:15:30.520 --> 0:15:34.240 and Quentin McDonald, of course, pasan Marco the stallwart. He 0:15:34.320 --> 0:15:37.320 took it along to the mobile police station and did 0:15:37.320 --> 0:15:39.560 if we've ever show it around with all the police 0:15:39.600 --> 0:15:41.880 there and I couldn't help but think, geez, maybe keep 0:15:41.920 --> 0:15:44.920 the controlled substance steps away from the shield. The day 0:15:45.000 --> 0:15:46.600 after you've won it, you probably want to give it 0:15:46.840 --> 0:15:48.920 some clear area from a police station. Imagine the dog 0:15:49.000 --> 0:15:50.000 was going absolutely ape shit. 0:15:50.680 --> 0:15:54.120 That's like a preemptive strike from that store walks. 0:15:54.120 --> 0:15:56.120 He's like, right, let's take it to the cops. 0:15:56.240 --> 0:15:58.280 Do it to her, and then when we defend it 0:15:58.280 --> 0:16:01.120 agains against Wellington and getting a bit of travel in town. 0:16:01.920 --> 0:16:02.720 That's okay. 0:16:02.960 --> 0:16:05.720 The shield, Yeah, they'll let it slide. I think maybe 0:16:05.800 --> 0:16:08.000 they might have learned from hawks Bays the stakes and 0:16:08.040 --> 0:16:10.160 potentially you maybe run a bit of glad rap or 0:16:10.200 --> 0:16:12.080 something over it if you are going to pass take 0:16:12.120 --> 0:16:14.960 in any sort of tuitionable activities, just to you know, 0:16:15.200 --> 0:16:18.160 allow the arch shield and ability of anything if it 0:16:18.160 --> 0:16:20.000 does come back to you. No, technically we didn't do 0:16:20.040 --> 0:16:22.040 anything off the shield. Bit did it off, but the 0:16:22.080 --> 0:16:23.760 glad wrap that was on the shield, but the shield 0:16:23.760 --> 0:16:24.520 didn't touch anything. 0:16:26.080 --> 0:16:28.080 It remains in tech the monna of the shield. 0:16:28.360 --> 0:16:31.800 Hey, so Tony though, Like I looked at the drawer, 0:16:32.040 --> 0:16:35.120 you're straight away it's down to business because you've got 0:16:35.160 --> 0:16:40.479 Wellington coming to Tasman the setni for a challenge. 0:16:40.640 --> 0:16:41.840 That's going to be a that's going to be a 0:16:41.880 --> 0:16:42.280 good game. 0:16:42.880 --> 0:16:45.400 Yeah, fucking mate, I say bring them on. I reckon 0:16:46.280 --> 0:16:49.080 the Mighty Marker are going to gobble them up. It's 0:16:49.080 --> 0:16:50.640 the thing with the shield, you know, the Hooks Bay. 0:16:50.720 --> 0:16:52.720 They haven't actually been They've been a good enough side. 0:16:52.760 --> 0:16:55.440 It's like they've gone on to win the championship over 0:16:55.480 --> 0:16:57.560 this pretty decent shieshold era they've had, you know, the 0:16:57.720 --> 0:17:00.560 one hand lost it, but they out for the last 0:17:00.560 --> 0:17:03.160 few seasons, and there's something about that shield at those 0:17:03.160 --> 0:17:05.800 home games really bars up a team. So I'm hoping 0:17:05.840 --> 0:17:07.680 that that sort of gets and maybe they've had a 0:17:07.760 --> 0:17:09.359 chance to shake out the hangover, because I always do 0:17:09.400 --> 0:17:11.600 wonder how that would affect the team after they went 0:17:11.640 --> 0:17:14.040 a sh they'll probably go on to drink a sixty 0:17:14.080 --> 0:17:16.239 eight yers each and then one week later you got 0:17:16.240 --> 0:17:18.280 to the end of again. So hopefully they've kept that hat. 0:17:18.680 --> 0:17:20.880 But now I say bring it on. I reckon. Lansdown 0:17:20.920 --> 0:17:23.560 Park is a'stually going to be rocking on Saturday. And 0:17:23.600 --> 0:17:26.400 you got to remember this is there's not a shipload 0:17:26.440 --> 0:17:30.240 to do down there, and their dog will be heading 0:17:30.240 --> 0:17:32.920 down to Lansdowne Park to watch the big game. 0:17:33.080 --> 0:17:37.520 In the city slackers as well from Clington. These you know, 0:17:38.080 --> 0:17:40.320 people who work in Parliament all the day. These public 0:17:40.320 --> 0:17:42.880 sivins have besleep and cut from their job to now 0:17:42.880 --> 0:17:45.639 play rugby. We don't care about this city slact as 0:17:45.680 --> 0:17:47.760 I say, bring them over the straight and send them backpack. 0:17:48.240 --> 0:17:50.200 Yeah, put them on the Fury as well, get really 0:17:50.240 --> 0:17:50.879 really rub it on. 0:17:51.280 --> 0:17:54.719 Put them on the Yeah, no flights. The airport's closing. 0:17:54.760 --> 0:17:57.359 Left at the theory back, get to listen to some 0:17:57.480 --> 0:18:00.640 old man sing the Warritors song on they for three 0:18:00.680 --> 0:18:02.080
