Speaker 3: Good morning, mat Heith, Good morning when I Stuart, how
Speaker 3: are you? Yeah? Good? Thank you mate.
Speaker 1: You're just sending a text and you brought up a
Speaker 1: conversation that's quite near and dear to my heart at
Speaker 1: the moment.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I still pepper my text missus with text messages
Speaker 3: with emojis, even though I feel nef doing it. But
Speaker 3: I tend to be quite curt in my communications, so
Speaker 3: I need the tech emojis to make it a weird
Speaker 3: to the person. I'm not being an asshole, Yeah, so
Speaker 3: do I.
Speaker 1: So what I'll generally do is send a thumbs up
Speaker 1: at the end to be like cool, we're both in agreeance.
Speaker 3: This is the end of the conversation here. Yeah, but
Speaker 3: that's now considered sarcastic.
Speaker 1: It's been brought to my attention by Ella that it's
Speaker 1: now considered egg and that's not how I meant it.
Speaker 1: At all, yeah, what I'm sending thumbs ups out to people? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, come on, because the other because the other
Speaker 1: thing that's happening at the moment is people have a
Speaker 1: certain age bracket will send a dot dot dot, and there.
Speaker 3: Glane sends a terrible dot dot dot. Glane is always
Speaker 3: dot dott he me, and I feel like he's pass
Speaker 3: egg in the fuck it? Yeah. Yeah, So it's like,
Speaker 3: are you coming dot dot dot? Yeah, You're like, what
Speaker 3: are the repercussions if I don't come? I know where
Speaker 3: am I? I am? I supposed to be here and
Speaker 3: I've I've missed something up? What's going on though? Dot
Speaker 3: dot dots? I don't know what? What are the dot
Speaker 3: dot dots mean? I don't know.
Speaker 1: It stresses me to bits when you get a texture
Speaker 1: of because it is sweet man, have a good weekend,
Speaker 1: dot dot dot, And.
Speaker 3: I'm like, what, I'm an alcoholic. Yeah, what do you say? Now?
Speaker 3: I'm my head for the next two hours, Like, have
Speaker 3: a good weeknd dot dot dot. He's saying I'm not
Speaker 3: working at enough? What are you saying?
Speaker 4: So?
Speaker 3: Then what I I because that means something else is
Speaker 3: coming dot dot dot. Right, That's what I understood.
Speaker 1: It as yeah, but I stumbled across a video on
Speaker 1: Instagram reels because I'm too old for TikTok, and it
Speaker 1: was explaining the difference there as apparently. You know, when
Speaker 1: people first started texting, it was expensive to see multiple texts,
Speaker 1: so to separate ideas, they would put dot dot dot
Speaker 1: so they would be like, I'm talking about this thing
Speaker 1: dot dot dot. Now I'm talking about a different thing
Speaker 1: dot dot dot. So they could send multiple pieces of
Speaker 1: information in one text. Now that it's so cheap to text,
Speaker 1: you can just literally put them in.
Speaker 3: Separate texts to the ideas and some RelA is just
Speaker 3: fooling us all through anxiety, the whole accs on tindercs
Speaker 3: because we don't know we've done to pass off g
Speaker 3: lane because it was dot dot dots yeah.
Speaker 1: When he would just be like, hey, great work this week,
Speaker 1: dot dot dot, have a great weekend, dot dot dot.
Speaker 1: Did I fuck something up at work that I don't
Speaker 1: know about? Are you still doing the commentary tonight, dot
Speaker 1: dot dot.
Speaker 3: Are you're saying that I'm going to get I'm going
Speaker 3: to go out to getting drunk or you know previously
Speaker 3: I haven't turned up on time, or what do you
Speaker 3: say yeah, or like multiple question marks at the end
Speaker 3: of a question. That one gets me as well, like,
Speaker 3: oh my god, what have I done? I used to
Speaker 3: put a lot of exclamation marks and there. I don't
Speaker 3: know why, but I'll be like, hell you again, exclamation mark?
Speaker 3: Why am I doing that again? To try and ease
Speaker 3: the like soften the blow of yeah, say that we're
Speaker 3: having a bit of a fun yeah, yeah, yeah, Because
Speaker 3: I mean there's a lot of nuance in someone's face
Speaker 3: and tone of their voice when you're talking to you
Speaker 3: talking to them that that's like, you know, when one
Speaker 3: of our podcasts or something goes before some kind of
Speaker 3: broadcasting standards authority, or like when something on your radio
Speaker 3: show and then you see it written down in the
Speaker 3: paper when the you know, when the complaint has been
Speaker 3: adjudicated on it just sounds so terrible now because they
Speaker 3: can't hear the cheeky, chicking timber in their voices. Yeah,
Speaker 3: And they're like, so did you did you not say so? Yeah?
Speaker 3: On paper? That looks bad. I didn't say it like that,
Speaker 3: you know, Yeah, there was always good a smile. Did
Speaker 3: you say I'm definitely going to kill that guy? No,
Speaker 3: two ways about it? Yeah, but it was worth it.
Speaker 3: But there was a little bit of yeah Tati sauce
Speaker 3: on it. There's a little bit of mail in there
Speaker 3: that you sort of you're taking away from me. Oh
Speaker 3: get it. Get involved on the old voicemail there and
Speaker 3: let us know what what emoji is? A past egg?
Speaker 3: What aren't? Yeah, what's coach to use anymore? And I've
Speaker 3: got to say, that's why the talkback function on the
Speaker 3: Oh Heart radio app is so good and you guys
Speaker 3: use it so effectively. Well, I'm gonna say, askers been
Speaker 3: on the gene of three years on and off, we
Speaker 3: use so well, it's because you get the full meaning
Speaker 3: from the voice. Yeah, there's no like pass egg emojis.
Speaker 3: So they go fuck South Canterbury. You know that they
Speaker 3: mean it in a cheeky way. I take it as
Speaker 3: a term of endement.
Speaker 1: But again, like you say, when you see it written
Speaker 1: down on social media, now you've run from my hometown.
Speaker 1: Set him out, like, hey, why is everyone saying fox
Speaker 1: South Canerbury? Now, yeah, you're a Trader's then the more
Speaker 1: you protest, the more fuck South you get. But anyway,
Speaker 1: your fire those fire those voicemails through. I had a situation.
Speaker 1: You said that I'd like to run past your problem
Speaker 1: shared as a problem halved.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I'd like owning the narrative is important. I
Speaker 3: think it like if whenever I do something humiliating, I
Speaker 3: want to talk about it because it's like you're giving
Speaker 3: it a way. You know, you're shining light on it. Yeah,
Speaker 3: you're shining light on it. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And so I'd like to shine a light on something
Speaker 1: that happened to me yesterday. Blessed to have the opportunity
Speaker 1: to go out to Mount Smart Stadium and interview a
Speaker 1: few of the Warriors. Marcelo Montour, Luke, Metcalfe, Jazz Tavunger
Speaker 1: sat down with these guys and as soon as Jess
Speaker 1: Deevunger sat down and I said, mate, how's the rehab going?
Speaker 3: And he goes, I'm not in rehab. Oh. I was like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 3: he's been.
Speaker 1: He was out for like three weeks about three months ago,
Speaker 1: and he's played ever since.
Speaker 3: And he was just like the Die. I was out
Speaker 3: there with Die as well. I just got done.
Speaker 1: Any research for this, and I was just absolutely humiliated
Speaker 1: to kick me up all night. The first first question
Speaker 1: I asked something Salvo open opening question that I asked
Speaker 1: and the most the weirdest part about is that I've
Speaker 1: commentated all of the games that he played.
Speaker 3: I know he played them. Yeah, And I don't know
Speaker 3: why I asked him that you probably know more about
Speaker 3: what's going on in sport in New Zealand there nearly anyone.
Speaker 3: I mean, every day you're doing this podcast, every day
Speaker 3: you're re searching it. You know, you commentate the games.
Speaker 3: I've watched every game he's playing, you know it all.
Speaker 3: I know where he's from, I know who he's played for. Well,
Speaker 3: you can't Beatpedal with that. You go, hey, I know
Speaker 3: every I do actually know everything.
Speaker 5: I know?
Speaker 1: Yeah, And so what what I'm chalking it up to
Speaker 1: is he was a late swap, so we were supposed
Speaker 1: to interview someone else, so without warning, we interviewed maslom
Speaker 1: on t work first. And I hate jest of angers
Speaker 1: in because Ali Latawa was supposed to do it but
Speaker 1: he can't. And I freaked out because I've done all
Speaker 1: this prep and I think if I'm guilty of anything,
Speaker 1: was over prepping.
Speaker 3: I looked down at my piece of paper. My first
Speaker 3: question was, first question, is just a nerve settler for
Speaker 3: the interviewer. Yeah, you find once it gets going, but
Speaker 3: you just don't want to fuck up on the first question. Ironically,
Speaker 3: it's your prep that is that's that is actually really
Speaker 3: fruct you.
Speaker 1: I didn't need to write anything down. I know everything
Speaker 1: about these players. I don't know why I got so
Speaker 1: flustered about it. And it couldn't happened to you know
Speaker 1: a bit of Bloken that he is quite an interimidating
Speaker 1: man to meet. Just yeah, he's got quite a scary
Speaker 1: aura about him.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that was the first question I opened with,
Speaker 3: and I was like, wow, well, coincidentally humiliated myself. Today.
Speaker 3: I was talking on the radio show yesterday about how
Speaker 3: there's a problem with rugby union in New Zealand. I
Speaker 3: was watching the rugby with acc commentator Lee Baker at
Speaker 3: the morning side tavern, and we were just talking about
Speaker 3: Edmund and changing the rules and how we can make
Speaker 3: it better and talking about the problems with the administration
Speaker 3: of the game. And I was saying to him at
Speaker 3: the time, there's a real problem with rugby union that
Speaker 3: everyone's always talking about how they can improve the game
Speaker 3: rather than just being involved in the game. You know
Speaker 3: what I mean, It's not really what you do when
Speaker 3: you're watching league, you're not really trying to improve improve
Speaker 3: the game. You might be talking about improvement of the
Speaker 3: team you're supporting, but not the whole administration from the
Speaker 3: top down right through the rule changes that might make
Speaker 3: it better. Anyway, after quite a few bottles of red,
Speaker 3: I came with the idea that that rugby would be
Speaker 3: a better without flankers without just get rid of the flankers,
Speaker 3: because what are they doing, if you thinkers, Because if anything,
Speaker 3: what is their job? I mean, they're great at putting
Speaker 3: people on the back, but in a way they're stopping play.
Speaker 3: You know, they're coming off and stopping play. That's kind
Speaker 3: of their job. I'm talking about, you know, six and
Speaker 3: seven here, And I got a text through from Karenry
Speaker 3: because of then I raised it on Monday and he said,
Speaker 3: that's the shittest idea I've everheard, And and that was
Speaker 3: quite a confronting text. Should have Stoy ever heard? And
Speaker 3: I said, And then so he producers got him on
Speaker 3: to talk about it today and the show and he
Speaker 3: came in hot and I had him with what do
Speaker 3: you know? You know, what would you know try to
Speaker 3: defend myself. So then I said, okay, well, what too,
Speaker 3: would you want to get rid of it? He goes, well,
Speaker 3: we trying to get rid of anything but anything. We'll
Speaker 3: get rid of some of the show ponies, you know
Speaker 3: out why And I said, okay, well you need the
Speaker 3: wings right, because the excitement machine. So I said, what
Speaker 3: wich one of the centers would you get rid of then?
Speaker 3: And he goes, well, that's fucking stupid, because if you
Speaker 3: got rid of the first, if you got rid of
Speaker 3: twelve or thirteen, then they'd become whichever one you got
Speaker 3: rid of. There only be one. Yeah, so it wouldn't
Speaker 3: matter which one you got rid of. You've amalgamated that. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Someone coming with this hot take and then immediately humiligating
Speaker 3: myself with well, which one of the centers you want
Speaker 3: to get rid of? And he's like, well, it doesn't
Speaker 3: make a difference with that, make which one you got
Speaker 3: rid of, because then they would become the only center.
Speaker 1: Yeah, your muppet shot insider outside, they just become thus center.
Speaker 3: So I'm on the back foot with a half thought out,
Speaker 3: drinken idea of getting rid of flankers you've got an
Speaker 3: all black camp and saying that's a stupid idea and
Speaker 3: coming up with some really good reasons why that's the
Speaker 3: case that they are a stupid idea, and then then
Speaker 3: I follow up with an even stupid suggestion. You know,
Speaker 3: I well, I think.
Speaker 1: If anything, you were halfway to a great idea there.
Speaker 1: I agree with you. I think we should have been
Speaker 1: the flankers. Yeah, I think you get number eight can
Speaker 1: do all that. But more gaps, yeah, more so, many
Speaker 1: gaps that's the guar, that's the key. More gaps up
Speaker 1: the guts. I think that we would all agree that
Speaker 1: scrummery sets are boring. I don't think you should push
Speaker 1: in the scrums and rucks are too confusing. We should
Speaker 1: when you get tackled, you stand up, you play the ball.
Speaker 3: This is the problem that you start getting rid of
Speaker 3: line out and could just make the scrums of the
Speaker 3: ball just comes out and it's just it's just like
Speaker 3: holding up the forwards for a little bit. Why is
Speaker 3: it five points for before you know?
Speaker 1: And a drop goal should only be one unless you
Speaker 1: kick it from forty meters out then it should be too.
Speaker 3: I agree. I definitely think that things I think we've
Speaker 3: got to get rid of as marks. I think marks
Speaker 3: are so stupid. Why would you want to stop the
Speaker 3: game and make it easier if you've got a great
Speaker 3: positional kick and that puts the fullback, say in a
Speaker 3: difficult position. Yeah, bloody great, that's exciting.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Also has to step round is to find something exciting
Speaker 3: to do the fact that they can just stop the
Speaker 3: game and then have a free kick. Why do we
Speaker 3: have a mark?
Speaker 1: Because in rugby league you kick for the corners so
Speaker 1: that you can contest it in the air and potentially
Speaker 1: score a tray. You don't do it in rugby union
Speaker 1: because if your opponent catches it, it's a mark and
Speaker 1: the plays over. Yeah, so it would bring in chipkekes
Speaker 1: for tries a bit more as well. Why is the
Speaker 1: twenty two metal line at the twenty two metal line?
Speaker 1: Why isn't it twenty Well?
Speaker 3: Yeah, and another one is okay, this is another controversial opinion.
Speaker 3: I've got get rid of the advantage rule. You're just
Speaker 3: playing zombie rugby the whole time. There's an advantage and
Speaker 3: people playing it doesn't mean anything. Whatever the defense do
Speaker 3: it they and whatever amazing thing the defender does. I
Speaker 3: think maybe three. You know, they're talking NFL of a
Speaker 3: football play which just means something like football, and then
Speaker 3: that negates the situation that we're talking about a football play. Well,
Speaker 3: so it's like a couple of steps or right, it's
Speaker 3: just such as some play. So I'm saying three football
Speaker 3: plays and then the advantage is over, so that it
Speaker 3: could be a pass, it could be a kick, could
Speaker 3: be a tackle. Three football players and the advantage is over.
Speaker 3: Otherwise we're just playing so much football that doesn't count
Speaker 3: for anything because the attack can just do whatever they
Speaker 3: want because basically it goes forever until they lose the
Speaker 3: ball or they score. Right, that's what advantage does now,
Speaker 3: And I know in the rules it says that you
Speaker 3: have to have an advantage that overcomes the advantage of
Speaker 3: the penalty, right, which is so vague and no reference
Speaker 3: to call that. So they just let it go until
Speaker 3: there's a knock on or there's a cock up and
Speaker 3: they go back, and that can go for phase after
Speaker 3: phase after face. So I say, get rid of the advantage.
Speaker 3: The other thing is it should be illegal. God, now
Speaker 3: we start now, don't get me started over it. It
Speaker 3: should never be a situation. This pisses me off so much.
Speaker 3: Where a team knocks on knocks a ball on right,
Speaker 3: and then there's a scrum, and then we all know
Speaker 3: that scrums are just basically the art of trying to
Speaker 3: make it look like the other guy has has committed
Speaker 3: a penalty, and so someone knocks it on and the
Speaker 3: next thing, you know, the opposition that gets three points
Speaker 3: and they were the ones that didn't knock it on
Speaker 3: because of some penalty that no one knows that. You
Speaker 3: know that the someone's just pushed and they're not pushed,
Speaker 3: just pushed and then pulled on. Someone's sure felt like
Speaker 3: he was pushing and then went down, then up and
Speaker 3: marked it around. You should never be able to get
Speaker 3: three points, which is so much in a game, yea,
Speaker 3: more than when it was you that bloody it was
Speaker 3: your team that knocked the ball on. I know this.
Speaker 1: This goes back to one of the half back sports
Speaker 1: ideas I've had, which was the Uno reverse card, which
Speaker 1: which is once a game, when a card is handed
Speaker 1: out to your team, your captain's allowed to play a
Speaker 1: reverse card and it's actually handed back to the other team.
Speaker 1: So when he players gets red carded, you go no
Speaker 1: Una reverse or controversially, the pack up five, which is
Speaker 1: you've now got six dudes in the bed. I don't know,
Speaker 1: but the problem was as you could intentionally red card
Speaker 1: one of your players knowing you've got the UNO reverse card.
Speaker 1: So not only have you knocked someone out, and you're
Speaker 1: also double jeopardy in them and kicking someone else off
Speaker 1: their team. And the only retort to that rule was, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that exact situation where you could be the one infringing
Speaker 1: and then get penalized speaks exactly Tepe Scrumbs speaking.
Speaker 3: Of you know, four point it's for a try as
Speaker 3: opposed to five points. I don't know have told you this,
Speaker 3: but I was going to watching a lot of rugby
Speaker 3: in a lot of league with these two American friends
Speaker 3: of mine. I know them, Yeah, you know them. And
Speaker 3: then like three months, four months into us watching games
Speaker 3: every week together, the guy who's he actually was a
Speaker 3: running back. He played a running back, went to college
Speaker 3: playing as a running back, so he's deep in the
Speaker 3: world of NFL. But he goes, Okay, I've got to ask,
Speaker 3: how come sometimes try as a four points and sometimes
Speaker 3: they're five points? And you realize at that point he
Speaker 3: didn't know that there was a difference between league, even
Speaker 3: though it's to us it's so clear because we brought
Speaker 3: up with that. But he couldn't he couldn't tell the
Speaker 3: difference uff for three months of watching the game. So
Speaker 3: he'd just been watching rugby in his mind. Yeah, just
Speaker 3: the entire time rugby, because you think rugby league wring
Speaker 3: a union, you know, you probably think, oh, sometimes I
Speaker 3: say do you want to watch the league and sometimes
Speaker 3: you want to watch the rugby. That's probably the way
Speaker 3: I describe it. And yeah, so it's amazing they're very
Speaker 3: close if you're I mean in that what's the really
Speaker 3: interesting thing with the NRL NRL trying to make it
Speaker 3: break into America with the games of Las Vegas. Then
Speaker 3: you've also got the All Blacks playing Fiji and San Diego.
Speaker 3: It's like, but they can't. They don't even know, they've
Speaker 3: got no idea, They've got no idea. And just quickly
Speaker 3: on those two people as well. They're in an NFL
Speaker 3: fantasy league. Yeah, yeah, they were down in CHRISTI I
Speaker 3: was down visiting my mum. We're wandering around the shops
Speaker 3: and I saw through the window I saw these two people.
Speaker 3: I was just like, oh shit, that from my fantasy league.
Speaker 3: And I went to go and say good out to them.
Speaker 3: All my mum, whod was? Those two people are from
Speaker 3: my fantasy? And then I walked out of the thing,
Speaker 3: and so I'm having a yarn to them and Mum's
Speaker 3: standing off to the side like what the fuck is
Speaker 3: going on here?
Speaker 1: And then we get in the cash he goes, what
Speaker 1: just happened? Yeah, rather from my fantasy league's I thought
Speaker 1: you said that from your fantasy and then went and
Speaker 1: hit them.
Speaker 3: Up another hour I spent punishing Lee Baker thirty five
Speaker 3: minutes because he doesn't drink as much as me. Was
Speaker 3: on how rugby union does not equate into fantasy and
Speaker 3: that's a real problem for it going forward. Well, I
Speaker 3: chewed Shannon Fizzel's ear off about this the other day. Actually,
Speaker 3: that was probably this is a side conversation from me. Yeah,
Speaker 3: from we're probably having that conversation. This probably comes from you.
Speaker 1: He's thought about it, he's thought about it, and he's
Speaker 1: got ideas of how it would work. It'd be like
Speaker 1: rucks clean, first man to the rock, blah blah blah.
Speaker 1: But you're right, it doesn't. On the one hand, it's like, yes,
Speaker 1: it would be too confusing, it's too chaotic a game.
Speaker 1: On the other hand, I play fantasy rugby league, and
Speaker 1: I don't understand how the points are just out of it.
Speaker 3: So, you know, it's.
Speaker 1: Hypocritical to be like, how would it work when I play?
Speaker 1: When I have two fantasy leagues our, I don't know
Speaker 1: how they work.
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, well, the thing with the NFL is it's
Speaker 3: clear a running back runs a certain amount of distance,
Speaker 3: you know, yeah, you know, a receiver catches a certain
Speaker 3: amount of passes, scores the cinema touchdowns to runs with
Speaker 3: and in a quarterback, and.
Speaker 1: Then the offensive line the defense is all one one.
Speaker 3: So maybe you could do that with rugby union. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: your Ford pack would be all one.
Speaker 1: But right then, the long short of all of that
Speaker 1: is absolutely humiliated myself talking.
Speaker 3: To Jess Vunger and how did you come back? I
Speaker 3: made a few more jokes about it. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And then the very next person that we interviewed was
Speaker 1: Luke Metcalf and he was sitting out in the thing
Speaker 1: and he said I heard all of that, and I said, great,
Speaker 1: so he's actually been injured and that's who the question
Speaker 1: was for. So I said, well, my first question was
Speaker 1: actually for you, But what I might do now is
Speaker 1: just ask you how the game went on the weekend,
Speaker 1: and so he sat there. I was like, looke, Metcalfe,
Speaker 1: you played on the weekend three tries? How did that feel?
Speaker 1: But he was just he went along with it. He
Speaker 1: was like, mate, felt great to get the three tries,
Speaker 1: obviously disappointed that we didn't win, blah blah blah. So
Speaker 1: we made a bit of a joke about it. But
Speaker 1: that didn't stop me from working up in a cold
Speaker 1: sweat at three a him.
Speaker 3: But he didn't get to interview Big Mitch, because I'd
Speaker 3: love to know how you turn around from State of
Speaker 3: O with a compulsory celebration to then for the Warriors.
Speaker 1: Well, he looked buggered, yeah, but he played well, played
Speaker 1: well he I'm just glad I didn't say that to
Speaker 1: Mitch because I interviewed him last year and he might
Speaker 1: be the scariest man I've ever interviewed.
Speaker 3: That's part of his like sense of humor.
Speaker 1: It's just dead pan delivery, which is funny when you're
Speaker 1: just a normal guy. But when you are like who
Speaker 1: we'd send out if the Aliens invaders.
Speaker 3: That's a completely different thing. It's way scarier. Have you
Speaker 3: ever interviewed Rockoberry? No? No, I haven't. He's a huge
Speaker 3: fan of the single word answer huge right straight. Bat
Speaker 3: comes across like a nice guy, but he's a yes
Speaker 3: no kind of guy. Well he was who I asked them, all,
Speaker 3: you're going over to Las Vegas. Yeah, as you guys
Speaker 3: get off the plane, who's the one player that the
Speaker 3: coach is pull aside and say hey, keep alert on
Speaker 3: it this weekend. And pretty much all three of them
Speaker 3: were like, oh, rocobery. So that's available on the Mad
Speaker 3: Monday podcast. Go and listen to myself, absolutely humiliate myself.
Speaker 3: And we also have a flyaway trip to watch the
Speaker 3: Warriors or thanks to helen Stein's if you want to
Speaker 3: win that VP Warriors experience tickets cash Bunny food for
Speaker 3: beverages plus US food for beverages, money for food and beverages,

Speaker 3: quick break. We'll be right back, all right.
Speaker 1: Matt's administration this morning. I feel like this is a
Speaker 1: good PSA to dish out on this podcast. The Olympics
Speaker 1: start this weekend.
Speaker 3: Amazing. The Olympics sways this to me. It's not gonna start,
Speaker 3: it's not gonna starts miles away. It's miles away. Then boom,

Speaker 1: both men's and women. They start on Thursday. I actually
Speaker 1: I think it's Thursday morning two thirty, which actually, in
Speaker 1: my mind is Wednesday night. They traditionally start a couple
Speaker 1: of days ahead of the opening ceremony because the tournaments
Speaker 1: takes so fucking long to get through entire Sure what
Speaker 1: the rules are around the football, It's like you've got
Speaker 1: to be under twenty three, but then four ears can
Speaker 1: be thirty or yeah, I don't know, something confusing about that.
Speaker 1: But then yeah, men's and women sevens go early. I'm
Speaker 1: pretty excited about this. I mean, Hamish Kerr had a
Speaker 1: good good win earlier this week.
Speaker 3: The high jumper. I think the guy who won gold
Speaker 3: last year, one of the two guys that won gold
Speaker 3: last Olympics was out of that one. So I don't
Speaker 3: know how much to read into that, but great prep
Speaker 3: going into that one. Have you seen the spray on
Speaker 3: shoes that they are bringing in. I have not.
Speaker 1: Oh, So what they've done is this new shoe company
Speaker 1: has come out and they've invented a way where they
Speaker 1: can three D print a shoe basically, and so they
Speaker 1: do it on the day that you're racing. They take
Speaker 1: a mold of your foot, then they've got a robotic
Speaker 1: arm that swings around and sprays shit all over the mold.
Speaker 3: Then you take that off put it on your foot
Speaker 3: a single years shoe. Wow. Yeah.
Speaker 1: One of the front runners for the marathons, she just
Speaker 1: recently won the Boston Marathon wearing these shoes.
Speaker 3: Wow. So it's like only a matter of time before
Speaker 3: they just spray your whole shit onto So they're just
Speaker 3: perfect for that day, perfect for that time, because.
Speaker 1: I think, Wow, and the guy got the idea from
Speaker 1: and went to a Halloween party and someone was setting
Speaker 1: up and they were spraying like fake spider.
Speaker 3: Webs all over the place.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and he looked at that and he's just like,
Speaker 1: can you.
Speaker 3: Make shoes out of that? Yeah? Well, imagine it would
Speaker 3: feel amazing, because you know when you first, when you
Speaker 3: get a new set of running shoes that you'll run
Speaker 3: until whatever stupid foam that they've invented now that apparently
Speaker 3: is going to make everything fine, you'll never get an injury,
Speaker 3: but only lasts a very short amount of time before
Speaker 3: it beads. But when you first put that running shoes
Speaker 3: on and you go to the athlete's foot or whatever
Speaker 3: the other one's called, boy, those shoes feel fricking great
Speaker 3: the first time you put them on. So I guess
Speaker 3: that would be part of it. It would just be this
Speaker 3: shoe feels amazing, it'd be great for your confidence. One
Speaker 3: hundred grams lighter than any of the other shoes. That's
Speaker 3: going to make a difference over a marathon over forty
Speaker 3: two kilometers. Yeah.
Speaker 1: What's going to happen, though, is this is what always
Speaker 1: happens with this kind of stuff. The average punter is
Speaker 1: going to pick those shoes up because it's us that
Speaker 1: find running so fucking hard. So we're going to be like, oh, well,
Speaker 1: look if I if I can take any shortcut here,
Speaker 1: give me the old spray on shoes. It's like it's
Speaker 1: never going to make the same impact on you as
Speaker 1: it is on them. I have a sneaky suspicion that
Speaker 1: this is going to be one of those things that
Speaker 1: they've been in, like a.
Speaker 3: Couple of yeah, yeah, like those swimming suits, the shark suits,
Speaker 3: the shark suits. They're like, that's making people too good. Yeah,
Speaker 3: which is odd because I mean you could get you
Speaker 3: could just make everyone wear trunks because the speedo argue
Speaker 3: a blessing advantage, yea, rather than the kind of trunks
Speaker 3: I wear to the pool.
Speaker 1: Well, I mean I would argue that we should all
Speaker 1: go back to the original Olympics where everyone was naked.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you know, I feel like that would be
Speaker 1: the true test of who's the fastest huge advantage.
Speaker 3: Oh that's interesting because there's some sorts we had sports
Speaker 3: we don't want your balls flapping around, right, I mean
Speaker 3: what sports? Or rugby sevens, Yeah, that'll be one of them. Yeah, football, Yeah.
Speaker 1: Play, I don't want to play football at barefoot? Yeah,
Speaker 1: the bear shoes around, you know, discuss and shot.
Speaker 3: Put, yeah in bare feet, greco roaming, wrestling, some of
Speaker 3: those moves aren't great if both dudes and nude yeah,
Speaker 3: problematical Well well I'm not saying they're not great, but
Speaker 3: I'm saying they're very different. It's a very different sport,
Speaker 3: that's right. But that they were wrestling in the nude
Speaker 3: in the original Olympic, well, that's right. You could easily.
Speaker 3: I mean, i'd be concerned around. Uh, maybe you see
Speaker 3: someone in the crowd or something. Next thing, you know,
Speaker 3: you're signaling your interest. Well, just mildly, like it wouldn't
Speaker 3: be like a full situation should be enough for people
Speaker 3: to know a half there's a half. Actually, you'd be like,
Speaker 3: as you'd be looking for that, wouldn't you look looking
Speaker 3: around for someone to get your half interested, just to
Speaker 3: if you're wrestling, Yeah, I know. Just I mean in
Speaker 3: any sport if you're nude, but particularly so it's looking
Speaker 3: at the whole thing's looking a little bit better because
Speaker 3: like they don't know if it's a half or that's
Speaker 3: that's full resting state, if you know what I mean
Speaker 3: I do.
Speaker 1: I feel like we're about to get canceled. So I'm
Speaker 1: going to stare us away from the rest of this conversation.
Speaker 1: We're going to take one more quick break. We have
Speaker 1: about ten different yours pleases to get through. Okay, so
Speaker 1: we're going to take a quick break here before we do.
Speaker 1: The Snacker Chaney Sports Scholarship is available. We're binge watching.
Speaker 1: Sport is a sport. If you want to win that,
Speaker 1: you can text Chip to three two three six. You
Speaker 1: follow the link, we text you back and you could
Speaker 1: be in to win the Ultimate ACC Prize pack, all
Speaker 1: thanks to Snacker Change quick ad.
Speaker 3: We'll be back with yours please.
Speaker 2: Yours please, brought to you by Leader Home of the lap.
Speaker 3: Heaps to get Through.
Speaker 1: I was actually staggered at the amount that we're in
Speaker 1: the inbox this morning. This is one of the better
Speaker 1: parts of the show. Call it yours please.
Speaker 7: Yeah, get O Fellows Stacy Cohens here. I'm just wondering
Speaker 7: if you guys have any judiciary system put in place
Speaker 7: for the commentators, because Buckney Keysy needs to be put
Speaker 7: on a report and suspended. That guy is a walking
Speaker 7: talking commentators curse. I've had enough of it. Also, would
Speaker 7: like to give a share out to the King, go
Speaker 7: and go cheers, fucking share Them's.
Speaker 3: Good good, said Lungs on that guy. There's a lot
Speaker 3: going on there. Yeah, so Keysy's I was filmed in
Speaker 3: the notorist Pantsman Joel Harrison, and he's thinking about running
Speaker 3: through a commentators stats. Oh yeah on the Warriors. Yeah,
Speaker 3: because what does other category? Well, no, just stats in
Speaker 3: terms of games commentated. Oh, two wins. I did this
Speaker 3: probably too. Fantasy commentator would be quite good, we had
Speaker 3: stats on them.
Speaker 1: There was a halfway sports idea we had a few
Speaker 1: months ago was acc fantasy commentary. We need someone to
Speaker 1: put the spreadsheet together. But it would be like jokes
Speaker 1: landed versus jokes missed. Maybe like a joke percentage liners read,
Speaker 1: you know, different jokes, repeated jokes.
Speaker 3: Repeated commentators.
Speaker 1: Curses obviously would be and Keezy I don't did you
Speaker 1: see the video he had an all timer on the weekend.
Speaker 1: He said that last kick where Harrisdvita, Yeah, yeah I
Speaker 1: heard that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and he goes, even Harris DaVita couldn't miss this one.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I was like, oh my god, yeah, but you well,
Speaker 3: yeah I did hear that.
Speaker 1: You can hear the whole room go silent because no
Speaker 1: one said it was ridiculous that he would miss that, Like,
Speaker 1: you know, I might have had a brain curse in
Speaker 1: that because I was like, okay, put that on the bank,
Speaker 1: all right, So you're already moving on yeah in your
Speaker 1: mind to to you know, we're all tied up here.
Speaker 3: Now what are we going to do? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Well, me too, because I selfishly had a bet on
Speaker 1: a successful field goal in the game.
Speaker 3: So right, this is definitely going to gold boy.
Speaker 1: But I think if he hadn't have missed, I think
Speaker 1: he missed two kicks before that.
Speaker 3: Yeah he did. Yeah, he's in his head. It was
Speaker 3: massively in his head. He had the yips. I mean,
Speaker 3: we scored four tries and converted one with Adam Pompey
Speaker 3: that we can you know, he converted and then couldn't
Speaker 3: kick anymore. So yeah, so it's pretty harsh on Chanel.
Speaker 1: That's pretty harsh on Chanel, And I think think that
Speaker 1: that's why so many people have latched onto giving Kezy
Speaker 1: shit for the commentator's curse, because we need somewhere to
Speaker 1: put the blame.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I was actually talking about a wider thing
Speaker 3: than notatorrous pens Man. Actually, I guess we're backstabbackers what
Speaker 3: we were saying. At what I'm saying he is, But
Speaker 3: he was saying that the Pantsman's never commentated a game
Speaker 3: that the Warriors have lost, so he's trying. He's sniffing
Speaker 3: around some stats because he reckons Keezy's got a terrible record.
Speaker 3: He does.
Speaker 1: Before Friday, Chris and I had commentated seven games together
Speaker 1: and we sorry. I had commentated seven games and the
Speaker 1: Warriors had lost six of the seven I had commentated,
Speaker 1: all right, and the one that I commentated that we won,
Speaker 1: I commentated with Hurley.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 1: So Chris and I this year calendar season twenty twenty
Speaker 1: four have not commentated at Warriors went.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but has Kezy commentated a Warriors win?
Speaker 1: I feel like him and Die might have done one
Speaker 1: or two. Someone out there needs to crunch numbers on.
Speaker 1: That's this important stuff from Joel Harrison.
Speaker 3: So I think we need to pull notatorius pantsman Joel
Speaker 3: Harrison off all his social media responsibilities at Radiohodeki just
Speaker 3: to get to the bottom of this and have him commentate.
Speaker 1: If it's true that he hasn't commentated a Warrior's loss,
Speaker 1: he should commentate every game for the remainder of the season. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I should get my weekends back self asleep. But
Speaker 1: that right there was so much so much coming through
Speaker 1: on the text machine to be like, funk, not these.
Speaker 3: Guys again, we've always losing. These two commentate, It's so
Speaker 3: funny how we believe in witchcraft when it comes to
Speaker 3: sport and nowhere else in our life. And if someone
Speaker 3: comes up to you and says, you know, you're talking
Speaker 3: to someone and say, oh, I don't get along with
Speaker 3: that person because they're you know, and eries or something,
Speaker 3: you go, you are a crazy spiritual, eerie fairy woo
Speaker 3: woo person. Next thing, you know, if you do. You know,
Speaker 3: the other day, like a two of my friends that
Speaker 3: I always watched The Warriors with Matt gabon Cas Donaldson.
Speaker 3: They said the state they rented scooters like Lime Scooters
Speaker 3: to come down from kro Talk to meet me to
Speaker 3: watch the game. And they're calling himself the scooter game,
Speaker 3: the scooter Boys. And as soon as the game was over,
Speaker 3: I said, you guys fucked it with your scooters. I
Speaker 3: believe it. Yeah, I believed that they're scootering down somehow.
Speaker 3: I believe it quite frankly, it was fucking reckless that
Speaker 3: they did that. It's fucking stupid to be scootering down.
Speaker 3: And I've always thought that together. Sports are basically like
Speaker 3: you say, they are astrology.
Speaker 1: For dudes, nothing can impact your mood more than your
Speaker 1: sports team losing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're just searching around. That's why they burnt witches,
Speaker 3: you know, crops failed, You're searching around for someone to
Speaker 3: blame next, you know, you know, you know, sharing from
Speaker 3: down the roads on fire and strapped to it. You know,
Speaker 3: it's it's all kezy, what keasy is? Yeah, I think
Speaker 3: we've dunk him. I think we submerge him. If he floats,
Speaker 3: then he was a watch and we burn him. Yeah
Speaker 3: if he if he sinks, then he worch. But unfortunately,
Speaker 3: unfortunately he's gone now and at least we don't have
Speaker 3: a witch around anymore. Rest in peace. Yeah, another caller here,
Speaker 3: yours please good flowers loving us.
Speaker 6: Reinventing the world, reinventing the game chat.
Speaker 2: On rugby with a round ball?
Speaker 6: Is that not what the Irish Gaelic ossie rules top gamers?
Speaker 7: Anyway?
Speaker 6: On that chat, you guys should do some reinventing Olympic sports.
Speaker 6: You see what you guys can come up with that
Speaker 6: sort of jazz and uh anyway, fuck Chris Key.
Speaker 1: Meanwhile, yeah, so this is off the back of a
Speaker 1: voicemail that we had the other day where someone was
Speaker 1: talking at the pub. What impact would replacing a rugby
Speaker 1: ball with a soccer ball have on the game of
Speaker 1: rugby union. Yeah, so I don't know if it'll make
Speaker 1: kicking easier or harder. Like goal kicking, I think passing
Speaker 1: would be harder. Pass might be much and catching would
Speaker 1: be much harder.
Speaker 3: Chip and chase be way easier. Scrums would be easier.
Speaker 3: Just put a bit of English on that and world
Speaker 3: roll right out. Yeah, bounce of the ball, You're never
Speaker 3: gonna get that crazy bounce. The ball just sits up
Speaker 3: for the right. Yeah. The man coming through your.
Speaker 1: Grubbers will be pinpoint absolutely every time. But yeah, I
Speaker 1: think the passing would be harder. But I like the idea.
Speaker 1: How could you make Olympic sports a little bit different.
Speaker 1: One of my favorite things I remember from athletics day
Speaker 1: at high school. There was a dude whose party trick
Speaker 1: was he'd go and pick up the lightest shot but
Speaker 1: while no one was looking.
Speaker 3: He's a massive dude.
Speaker 1: They called him Landfill, it was his nickname, and he
Speaker 1: would step up and just half this thing and like
Speaker 1: break the school record. Everyone go crazy and then someone had.
Speaker 3: Picked the ball up.
Speaker 1: Oh if bloody, and it's just got me every year
Speaker 1: I watched him, This is excellent, So I think if yeah,
Speaker 1: that kind of thing. I've Julia Ratliffe Ratcliffe Ratlift, She's
Speaker 1: our hammer thrower. I've wanted to challenge her to a
Speaker 1: competition where I want to see if I can throw
Speaker 1: the hammer further than she can throw a lime scooter.
Speaker 3: Oh wow, that's interesting. I think that would be quite
Speaker 3: a feir. Yeah, competition. I mean, what if they just
Speaker 3: went back to hammers and actually threw ammas, like head
Speaker 3: down the bunnings and get a hammer and throw that.
Speaker 3: Is that what it was originally? I've got no idea,
Speaker 3: but it doesn't look anything like an now it's more
Speaker 3: of a mace. Yeah, it is a flail. Yeah, it's
Speaker 3: not a hammer, you know. So do we bring back
Speaker 3: the hammer? We did talk about Olympic wrestling back in
Speaker 3: the nud again. Yep.
Speaker 1: Why did we stop at equestrian being just horses? I
Speaker 1: suppose because they're equine, But why couldn't you know, zebra
Speaker 1: a beer and in the dressage on the back of
Speaker 1: a codek.
Speaker 3: What about if you allow people in the high jump
Speaker 3: to use the pole from the pole vaulting. Well, I
Speaker 3: guess that's just pole vaulting then, yeah, I guess that's
Speaker 3: why they haven't done that. See someone turned up with
Speaker 3: a pole one day and they go, okay, smart, you're
Speaker 3: going to have to make a whole new sport your own.
Speaker 3: You're doing your own thing here. That's totally different. The
Speaker 3: Frostby flop was amazing. You know, Frosby just turning up
Speaker 3: one year with the thing that was so different. He
Speaker 3: won that year. He wasn't great, but he won that
Speaker 3: year because no one else was doing it. Next year,
Speaker 3: he couldn't, you know, he couldn't get arrested in the
Speaker 3: high jump. I mean that's freaking crazy. Like everyone's doing
Speaker 3: the scissor and some guy goes, you know what, I'm
Speaker 3: gonna go over backwards, which seems fucking stupid thing to do.
Speaker 3: True game changer, but it was an absolute game changer.
Speaker 3: The Fosbury flop of whatever your sporters would be. Yeah,
Speaker 3: what was the lift they used to do in the
Speaker 3: nipple real quick? Yeah, I like that lift? What about
Speaker 3: in the commerce games? And like a backboard on the
Speaker 3: back of the netty? Oh, I've said this for the
Speaker 3: longest time. They should lower the hoop by a foot
Speaker 3: and allow dunks and nipple. Yeah, why wouldn't you. They
Speaker 3: would change the complexion of the game. Yeah, God will
Speaker 3: change everything, would change everything. I mean you said, like
Speaker 3: so basketball without bouncing, that's basically what you do. So
Speaker 3: it'll be quite quick down the note and then but
Speaker 3: you've got a backboard and yeah, well.
Speaker 1: Here's it for your one on one nipple. How would
Speaker 1: that change the complexion of that sport? If that's triggered
Speaker 1: any changes.
Speaker 3: That you'd like to see in the Olympics, then make
Speaker 3: sure that you get in touch with us on the voicemail.
Speaker 3: We'll move on to another one here, call of yours please.
Speaker 8: Good Lads'll weave it inside oil on the All Black
Speaker 8: Rugby Championship squad. Still down a couple of locks at
Speaker 8: the moment. I'm hearing from a couple of good inside
Speaker 8: sources that a nice Stuart is going to be called
Speaker 8: up for the Rugby Championship. Bug Lock. You know you
Speaker 8: can do the job, not just sign but off the field.
Speaker 8: Great for the culture. See interested city, Here you goes
Speaker 8: thoughts chess Fux south Denbury.
Speaker 1: Yeah, very confusing voicemail in one breath putting my name
Speaker 1: forward for the Black Jersey, and then the other cursing
Speaker 1: my home province. I may shock you to know I'm
Speaker 1: a little bit shorter than you probably think I am.
Speaker 3: A doctor. Once measured me at six foot and I've
Speaker 3: never been measured again. Thanks mate. That'll do us, that'll
Speaker 3: do us, I recond It would probably also shock you
Speaker 3: even more.
Speaker 1: To find out that I played wing when I played rugby.
Speaker 1: Well it's probably about fifteen kilos ago, to be fair.
Speaker 1: I think, Yeah, I don't know. I don't know if
Speaker 1: that's a solution.
Speaker 3: I mean when we were talking to Richie Wonga down
Speaker 3: in Dunedin and we said could you go on the
Speaker 3: field now and playing and goes, shit, no, so much prepped.
Speaker 3: You know, I'm so out of shape. I can't just
Speaker 3: get on the field, you know, whatever my skills are.
Speaker 3: This isn't how we answered this, but his point was
Speaker 3: you can't just be on a holiday and then suddenly
Speaker 3: go on the field and being incredible. And some would
Speaker 3: argue that I've been on holiday my whole life. So
Speaker 3: I'm just all I'm saying is I don't think you're
Speaker 3: going to be ready by the Rugby Championship, is all
Speaker 3: I'm saying. I'm not saying you don't you couldn't do it,
Speaker 3: but I'm just saying I don't think you've got the
Speaker 3: prep time.
Speaker 1: August tenth, it is now July twenty thirds. What I
Speaker 1: got three weeks?
Speaker 3: Yeah, to grow a foot, yeah broft, increase my aerobic
Speaker 3: capacity to Olympic levels, learn all the plays, learn the
Speaker 3: calls if they weren't testing me.
Speaker 1: Even then, I don't think I appreciate the vote of confidence,
Speaker 1: So I thank you very much.
Speaker 3: Another caller here, yours Bleitz.
Speaker 9: Good fellas are Wayne kerr Hair. Okay, Yeah, we used
Speaker 9: to play a game called moon Ball, which was effectively
Speaker 9: just rugby but with the Swiss ball, and yeah it
Speaker 9: was just conskin knocked the fuck out. And yeah it
Speaker 9: was pretty good because you'd get pretty serious bounce. So
Speaker 9: if you had the biggest third form of versus the
Speaker 9: smallest third format, that guy got a dislocated shoulder. It
Speaker 9: was Yeah, it was a good game. It was good
Speaker 9: good times.
Speaker 3: Did you ever have any sport like that at school
Speaker 3: when you were coming up? Yeah, I feel like we
Speaker 3: invented a lot of different sports.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we had a good one that was called We
Speaker 1: called it pain and artworked as we had like the
Speaker 1: sports shit, so they'd rolled.
Speaker 3: The door up on the sports shed. We'd go and
Speaker 3: grab a soccer ball.
Speaker 1: There's shitty plastic soccer balls and then whatever stick bat
Speaker 1: thing that you could find, so the plastic hockey stick,
Speaker 1: those yellow cricket bats. There was one steel baseball bat
Speaker 1: that we called the homer. Was a rush to get
Speaker 1: the homer and then the rules were it was basically soccer,
Speaker 1: but you were also allowed to hit it with the stick.
Speaker 1: So you would have one guy coming in to kick
Speaker 1: it and then someone else coming at you with the homer,
Speaker 1: and that's why it was called pain.
Speaker 3: We did one once where we sort of combined cricket
Speaker 3: with rugby, so you were allowed to tackle the batsmen
Speaker 3: when they were running last, so they hit it and
Speaker 3: then it's bull rush. Yeah, yeah, that's powerful. Yeah. It
Speaker 3: was really freaking hard to score a run. And also
Speaker 3: it didn't really there wasn't the problem with that didn't
Speaker 3: really matter how far you hit the ball. Basically, you
Speaker 3: wanted to get it over the boundary. You know, you
Speaker 3: wanted a boundary because then you got your runs. Otherwise
Speaker 3: because you may hit it, you know, my beautiful cover drive.
Speaker 3: That doesn't really affect the fact that the inner ring
Speaker 3: of fielders is just going to monster you smoking.
Speaker 1: The other thing is, jeez, the penalty for ball watching
Speaker 1: in that situation. If you've just hit a you know,
Speaker 1: we late car and you're watching it as you're running, bang,
Speaker 1: you get cleaned up.
Speaker 3: Yeah. And also like you know a you know, a
Speaker 3: bowl of steam and bowl of decent delivery, you know,
Speaker 3: keep coming through. Yeah, you come through and close line
Speaker 3: the batsman, your edge run down to the fine port. Yeah.
Speaker 3: The other one was that, Interestingly, we did make that
Speaker 3: better now I remember it. We made it better somehow
Speaker 3: by I don't know why this was better, but we
Speaker 3: replaced the we're bowling with this with a softball as
Speaker 3: well as part of that game. I don't know. We
Speaker 3: the teachers took the rugby balls off us because at
Speaker 3: school we were, you know, destroying our uniforms. We come
Speaker 3: back into class and we'd have It was a Catholic school,
Speaker 3: so you'd have to go into mass to just cover
Speaker 3: the mard jersey's rifts. They took the balls off us,
Speaker 3: but this was back in the day of the Nokia
Speaker 3: twenty to eighty cell phone, like the generation of cell phone.
Speaker 1: That thing was an absolute brick. You we would so
Speaker 1: we would play rugby with that, and you could literally
Speaker 1: put a bomb up with this thing. The worst thing
Speaker 1: that would happen is maybe the battery had come out
Speaker 1: the back of it. But yeah, so then we'll be
Speaker 1: playing playing rugby. We'll be able at the hostel. We
Speaker 1: come down, play play rugby for a couple of hours.
Speaker 1: Then all of a sudden, the game's over because this
Speaker 1: kid's mum's runging him. He's going to answer the rugby ball.
Speaker 3: How different? How have times change? Now? We're just desperate
Speaker 3: for kids didn't get off their phones. If you guys
Speaker 3: had a phone and you were using it to play sport.
Speaker 3: So hard to get kids to play sport at lunchtime
Speaker 3: now because they're just sitting on their phone. Well, you
Speaker 3: can't kick an iPhone, yeah, And you can't kick an iPhone. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I've always said there sort of that step jobs another
Speaker 1: caller here yours?
Speaker 3: Please?
Speaker 5: Yeah, get a fellas, just wondering about the g lane curse.
Speaker 5: When the wires get a Las Vegas, obviously the curs
Speaker 5: will be in effect. Will g Lane, break the curse
Speaker 5: in Las Vegas next year, do some grandiose Vegas thing.
Speaker 5: Lock in the hangover. We've got a Mike Tyson Mike
Speaker 5: Tyson ted on his face to symbolize it. Breaking the
Speaker 5: curves anyway, fuck all of Canterbury.
Speaker 3: Now. I think there's a good chance that I don't
Speaker 3: know about breaking the curse, but I think Guliane might
Speaker 3: be one of the few people that could potentially break
Speaker 3: Las Vegas.
Speaker 1: What if he goes in there and he's just a
Speaker 1: curse in every aspect. I remember a Hamish and Andy
Speaker 1: but where they went over there and they were like, right,
Speaker 1: you can't count cards. They've you know, Las Vegas have
Speaker 1: shut down all these different ways to win the money.
Speaker 3: What they can't account for is luck.
Speaker 1: So we're going to try and make the luckiest person
Speaker 1: on earth to head in there and play the pokies. Well,
Speaker 1: Gelaane arguably would be the unluckiest person on earth, So
Speaker 1: could he could he?
Speaker 3: Could he just walk through the MGM grand and just
Speaker 3: waft bad luck everywhere to bring it to its needs.
Speaker 3: I think that they should keep him on a retainer.
Speaker 3: It's a really good point.
Speaker 1: The Gelane curse is going to be in full effect
Speaker 1: over there in Las Vegas if if it's proven correct,
Speaker 1: because he's still not sure whether it's true or not.
