Speaker 1: Life and Export Beer Gardens Studio and brought to you
Speaker 1: by expert Ultra the bear for here. This is the
Speaker 1: Agenda Podcast for the first of August.
Speaker 2: The Agenda Podcast, the home of Sporting nonsense and clap Trap,
Speaker 2: brought to you by Export Vulture.
Speaker 3: I want to address something right off the top, go
Speaker 3: on there.
Speaker 1: I've been accused of a lot of things this week,
Speaker 1: and I just want to I just want to address
Speaker 1: them right here and put them to bed.
Speaker 3: Jastavanger is leaving the Warriors at the end of the year.
Speaker 3: Too much rehab. It had nothing to do with me.
Speaker 3: Seems that they're like, look at the circumstantial evidence points otherwise. Yeah,
Speaker 3: not long after you shamed him out of injury or
Speaker 3: whatever it was, saying he was in rehab. He was
Speaker 3: so he was so to you. He was so absent
Speaker 3: throughout the season. You presumed he was in rehab, and
Speaker 3: you said that to him an interview and he said,
Speaker 3: I'm I haven't been injured. And then from that the
Speaker 3: Warrior has gone. You know what, he has been quite absent.
Speaker 3: I haven't seen him anywhere. I thought he was on
Speaker 3: rehab as well. Fuck him, ditch you watch.
Speaker 1: He will he will go on next year to be
Speaker 1: one of the best players in the n r L.
Speaker 1: This is post the Warriors syndrome.
Speaker 3: It's it's post Warriors motivation, isn't it. Yeahs a glow up. Yeah,
Speaker 3: that's the glow up that players have.
Speaker 1: Ali Cartor is one of the best back rowers in
Speaker 1: the NRL at the moment he was with the Warriors.
Speaker 1: Isa Papa did it a couple of years ago as well.
Speaker 1: These players that leave the Warriors, they have incredibles. At
Speaker 1: Riss Walsh, you know, he was no one before he
Speaker 1: came to the Warriors. Good looking and now look at him,
Speaker 1: you know, still good looking, eyes waxed within an inch
Speaker 1: of their.
Speaker 3: Lives, still comes across as a wounded.
Speaker 1: Oh massive wounded, massive defensive liability, but arguably the face
Speaker 1: of the NRL at the moment, literally, And I think
Speaker 1: that's going to happen for Jester Vungers.
Speaker 3: So this is good news for him. Is this is
Speaker 3: you trying to just he's a differendo okay, man, Jazz
Speaker 3: go way back. So last Monday, this was the first
Speaker 3: time I ever met him. Yeah, I just wanted to
Speaker 3: address that here.
Speaker 1: I'm going to address it again later on on the
Speaker 1: Mad Monday podcasts.
Speaker 3: Actual real name Jazz j A double Z. Is it
Speaker 3: on his birth certificate? That's I mean, I'm just throwing
Speaker 3: it out there. I'm not expecting you know the answer. No,
Speaker 3: it's an unusual first name.
Speaker 4: No, I know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well the two z's that's a that's a rugby
Speaker 3: league first name. Fever. I've heard one. Yeah, I mean
Speaker 3: I've heard on these girls names Jazz j A s Right.
Speaker 1: Okay, there's obviously the Jazz Brothers from down in christ
Speaker 1: Church who around the.
Speaker 3: Bars there quite a long time. Have a last name.
Speaker 3: So yeah, no, I'm not sure. I'm not sure if
Speaker 3: that's his first name or not.
Speaker 1: But God bless him, man, I'm looking forward to watching
Speaker 1: him become one of the greatest players the NRL's ever
Speaker 1: seen over the next twelve months. You raised a good
Speaker 1: point this morning. While I was on my way into
Speaker 1: the office. You fired a message into the group chat
Speaker 1: about the Olympics and what sports.
Speaker 3: Are and aren't in the Olympics.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you said, why aren't motorsports in the Olympics.
Speaker 3: Do you know what I thought? That is? Because I
Speaker 3: was obviously I get all of my sporting knowledge. I'm
Speaker 3: netflix smart. Yeah, I call it Netflix knowledge. I feel
Speaker 3: like I know everything about golf now after full swing
Speaker 3: breakpoint on the tennis, I feel like I know everything.
Speaker 3: You know. They've got all these Netflix dockos on and
Speaker 3: there's loads of them on motorsport. Yeah, and they're not
Speaker 3: in the Olympics, but the rest of them are.
Speaker 1: I mean, there's also a lot of murder docks on
Speaker 1: Netflix Sports.
Speaker 3: I'm talking sports, yeah, right, Are you saying murders of sports? No,
Speaker 3: I'm not.
Speaker 1: I'm saying motorsports also not a sport. And the clearest
Speaker 1: evidence for that is exactly what you've just said. They're
Speaker 1: not at the Olympics. If the Olympics are for sports, now,
Speaker 1: what I think they should do is that they your
Speaker 1: your argument was that sport is in the name.
Speaker 3: Yeah, do you motorsports? Yeah? Would you throw esports into
Speaker 3: that category? Yeah? Check them in here.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree. And they should have their own little
Speaker 1: thing off to the side. It's not part of the Olympics.
Speaker 1: It would be able to be smelled from space.
Speaker 3: There will be no deodorant within a country mile of
Speaker 3: that organization. Do you know what put the pistol shooters
Speaker 3: with the East is that they all should be sponsored
Speaker 3: by Lincoln Darts. The real sorry archery, it's called it.
Speaker 3: The real games. Yes, the people's games, the people's people's games,
Speaker 3: to be confused with sports games, beer pong, gut balls,
Speaker 3: gutter ball, yeah, backyard cricket, frisbee and blockers. But Vight's
Speaker 3: they should be in there too. I think VHS should
Speaker 3: be in the Olympic. To be honest with you, sailing
Speaker 3: as well. I think I think sailing should probably be
Speaker 3: in there too. Look, I think there needs to be
Speaker 3: some sort of someone At some stage, someone is going
Speaker 3: to go into your Olympic committee and go, guys, there's
Speaker 3: a bit too much fat here. Yeah, we need a
Speaker 3: restructure and basically go back to the beer bones, last
Speaker 3: and first out break dancing. Sorry. Yeah, I think that
Speaker 3: at some stage that is going to happen because they
Speaker 3: can't keep adding to it. I love that. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, I think what they've done with breakdancing and skateboarding
Speaker 1: is they've gone, we need to bring kids in.
Speaker 3: What are kids into? And they've asked the oldest people
Speaker 3: on earth.
Speaker 1: They've been like, they always doing their bloody break dancing skating.
Speaker 1: Should we put break dancing in there? It's like, no,
Speaker 1: if you actually wanted to bring yeah, either esports. I
Speaker 1: don't know a competitive tiktoking. I just think that they
Speaker 1: looked at like what was called for kids in the
Speaker 1: nineties when their kids were growing up at let's put
Speaker 1: that in Yeah anway, motor sport's not a sport. It's
Speaker 1: a sport evidence bring evidenced by the fact that it
Speaker 1: is not in the Olympic Games.
Speaker 3: I want it in because we might win a medal.
Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying. The gus in there, Scotty McLaughlin,
Speaker 3: get him in a V eight. I'm saying, just one
Speaker 3: class of car. Maybe it's just the sponsor who we
Speaker 3: sponsors the Olympics, Hayondai or something. They all they all
Speaker 3: driveyonda gets, So it's a star and a reasonably priced car.
Speaker 3: H yeah, hyond I gets all of them around around
Speaker 3: around the streets of Paris as well. And there's that
Speaker 3: would be heck. And these obstacles as well, these people
Speaker 3: on e bikes. There's like pedestrians, people throwing begets at them.
Speaker 3: That would be absolutely heck.
Speaker 1: That no more hectic than the woman's traith on last night.
Speaker 3: We'll get into that in a very short amount of time.
Speaker 3: But yeah, I just want to read it. Motor not
Speaker 3: a sport, as evidenced by the fact it's not at
Speaker 3: the Olympic Games. The greatest New Zealander of all time.
Speaker 3: This bracket's going to go up tomorrow.
Speaker 1: We're going to give you the whole weekend to cast
Speaker 1: your votes on the first round. There have been a
Speaker 1: lot of votes across social media. I thought this would
Speaker 1: get a lot of attention. It's gotten way more than
Speaker 1: I thought it would already, and we're not even really
Speaker 1: into the meat of it. Once we start debating this
Speaker 1: person versus that person, it's going to get really heated.
Speaker 3: And I think our goal here is to get more
Speaker 3: votes and more interaction than New Zealander of the Year,
Speaker 3: which is currently taking votes as well. Which is that
Speaker 3: real kind of feel good bullshit? One, Yeah, there is
Speaker 3: no there's nothing feel good about this.
Speaker 1: This is dog eat dog. Yeah that's right. Yeah, this
Speaker 1: is feelings is going to get hurt. Yeah, this is
Speaker 1: a fight to the death.
Speaker 3: Legacy is tarnished. Yep.
Speaker 1: And look, this has just come out of just a
Speaker 1: random chat that men heat we're having on this very
Speaker 1: podcast just last week.
Speaker 3: It's organic, that's what the people want, and arguably it's
Speaker 3: not what we need right now because we are in
Speaker 3: the middle of the Olympics, so where he has a podcast,
Speaker 3: don't need the content. This is the most acc shit
Speaker 3: of all time.
Speaker 1: This is the kind of thing that we should have
Speaker 1: wheeled out in the duldrooms once the Olympics are over.
Speaker 1: There's no cricket, there's no rugby, you're true, but here
Speaker 1: we are because the people want to know who is
Speaker 1: the greatest New Zealander of all time. We've been debating
Speaker 1: it around the office. Feelings have gotten hurt. People have
Speaker 1: had to go and sit away from each other just
Speaker 1: cool down over some of the debates from some of
Speaker 1: the brackets that we're starting to put together.
Speaker 3: Any late comers, he has a few late comers.
Speaker 1: Sam Neil has been thrown in off the back of
Speaker 1: the fact that he survived a dinosaur attack. This person
Speaker 1: messaged on Instagram and said, look, I don't remember Id
Speaker 1: having a fight off a t rex on his way
Speaker 1: up fair enough, you know, and I can't argue against that.
Speaker 1: The twenty wax woman Karen who wants her twenty bucks back.
Speaker 3: From the Haut Valley. Yeah, the Stokes Valley pub. I
Speaker 3: don't know. She's great running, but.
Speaker 1: Again, this is the problem. Someone like this could sneak
Speaker 1: in and go all the way if people are going
Speaker 1: to vote for it.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Right, And Kane Williamson a lot of conjecture about him
Speaker 1: around the office. We may potentially live in a bubble
Speaker 1: because there's not a lot of votes for him, not
Speaker 1: of the ship, love for Steady, the ship out there.
Speaker 1: I wonder if it's a couple of things.
Speaker 3: One.
Speaker 1: I think he's still playing, so it's always hard to
Speaker 1: throw someone in the Greatest New Zealander legacy. It's sort
Speaker 1: of like naming your daughter Khalisi in season six of
Speaker 1: Game of Thrones before she then turned into the villain
Speaker 1: and everyone's.
Speaker 3: Like, oh my god, I've named my daughter this.
Speaker 1: Yeah, she were on the show, not the daughter, but
Speaker 1: the actual classy And the other part about it for
Speaker 1: Caan Williamson is I feel like, you know, when sometimes
Speaker 1: there's a political election and the overwhelming favorite doesn't get
Speaker 1: voted him because everyone assumes everyone else is going to
Speaker 1: vote for them.
Speaker 3: Is there a bit of voter apathy with Kane Williamson potentially? Look,
Speaker 3: I mean, and he would be the first to admit
Speaker 3: he's not the most outgoing of dudes. He starts playing cricket.
Speaker 3: He loves panning out and playing cricket shots and being
Speaker 3: on the field. Well, a lot of the other people,
Speaker 3: I'm seeing you build in his brackets so they bring
Speaker 3: something else to the table. Yeah, something gals going on
Speaker 3: outside of their specialty. Yeah, that's a good point. So
Speaker 3: I think, yeah, and you look, you're right, people, Magah
Speaker 3: can will be in the end. Someone else that's right,
Speaker 3: same with Sam Cane will be in there. Someone will
Speaker 3: vote for him, yeah, but surprisingly not much for him either.
Speaker 1: The other thing I've loved seeing just on the couple
Speaker 1: of posts that we've put out about this asking for
Speaker 1: your nominations for the Greatest New Zealander of all time,
Speaker 1: is how fired up some people are getting about it.
Speaker 3: And this is exactly what we want. Oh yeah.
Speaker 1: Some people are just like, how can you have someone
Speaker 1: like Ernest Rutherford who has had a lasting impact on
Speaker 1: the legacy of not just the country but the world.
Speaker 1: He is on a banknote up against a sports person.
Speaker 1: In this instance, I think it was being compared to
Speaker 1: Jonah and it was like, how can you compare the
Speaker 1: two of them when one person hasn't even one in
Speaker 1: the field that they you know, and then he's had
Speaker 1: an actual impact on the world. And I was like, well,
Speaker 1: if that's what the people want, man, you can't argue
Speaker 1: against them. This is democracy manifest And however it goes
Speaker 1: is how it's going to go. If mister Whippy gets
Speaker 1: the most votes.
Speaker 3: If mister Whippy comes up against I don't know, the
Speaker 3: Four Square guy, yeah, or Willie the Waiter from the
Speaker 3: White heat ever, oh my god, yeah, then and the
Speaker 3: people vote, and the people vote, that's right, not up
Speaker 3: to us. No, this is democratic.
Speaker 1: It's not like some of those you know, I'm just
Speaker 1: going to say radio promos where they'll be like, hey,
Speaker 1: we're going to do a countdown of the greatest songs
Speaker 1: of all time. We're going to count down about seven
Speaker 1: thousand of them, and then the number one songs different
Speaker 1: than last year, despite the fact that it didn't come
Speaker 1: out in the last year. How could it be a
Speaker 1: better song when we had the exact same people voting
Speaker 1: just last year.
Speaker 3: Just thinking about it, would Frosty Boy take down mister Whippy?
Speaker 3: Frosty Boy's got his own song, boy, Frosty Boy.
Speaker 1: I would say Green sleeves is a bit more you know,
Speaker 1: well known than Frosty Boy.
Speaker 3: I don't even you know the Frosty Boy song, No, don't,
Speaker 3: But I'll tell you what.
Speaker 1: If I hear mister Whippy, I'm scrounging down the back
Speaker 1: of the couch to try and find some coins.
Speaker 3: So you think they're in like some sort of musical battle,
Speaker 3: those two not just in what they sell, well are
Speaker 3: you talking about?
Speaker 1: It's not just the on field performance, which I would
Speaker 1: say Frosty Boy would go toe to toe with mister
Speaker 1: Whippy certainly in terms of quality. Yeah, but it's about
Speaker 1: the cultural impact, and I would say that mister Whippi
Speaker 1: has had a greater cultural impact than Frosty Boy.
Speaker 3: That's just for mine. I just think it's a bit sexist, actually,
Speaker 3: both of them. Why Frosty Boy, where's the girl Whippy?
Speaker 3: Where's missus Whippy? I've seen someone doing missus Whipy?
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's not. Let's not delve into missus Whipy. That
Speaker 1: will be one of the all time podcast documentaries if
Speaker 1: we ever put out the Missus Whippy documentary. Up against
Speaker 1: the Tree and Oa Coney in front of a firing squad.
Speaker 3: Of Okay, Okay, we'll release We'll release missus.
Speaker 1: Remember when Brown Hands came out, Yeah, this is the
Speaker 1: sequel to Brown Hands was this is Whiopy And we've
Speaker 1: never put it out and I think it'll probably be
Speaker 1: the death of the a SEC.
Speaker 3: But this is whip. Look, we talked about it the
Speaker 3: other day.
Speaker 1: The Warriors have sold out every game for the rest
Speaker 1: of this home season. Is the only way to get
Speaker 1: tickets now is through us, and we have your chance
Speaker 1: to do just that, all thanks to our mates at
Speaker 1: helens Stein's. We want to hook you up with an
Speaker 1: exclusive opportunity, not just to go, but to be a
Speaker 1: VIP at the Warriors.
Speaker 3: You'll score tickets. We're going to give you some money.
Speaker 1: Some food and beverages, vouchers to be kitted out by
Speaker 1: the legends at helen Stein's. So to get in the
Speaker 1: drawer for that, text VIP to three two three six
Speaker 1: and you can be a VIP at the Wars.
Speaker 3: Can I just say VIP is just VIP, No dots
Speaker 3: in the middle, just v I P. Some people I've
Speaker 3: seen putting dots between V DOT. Oh when you test
Speaker 3: it through, Yeah, when you text it, just the three letters,
Speaker 3: that's what you need. To do, and while you're there,
Speaker 3: text Vegas to three two three six as well, because
Speaker 3: we've still got a few packages left to Vegas for
Speaker 3: you to have a sniff at. And as I mentioned
Speaker 3: in this podcast before, just commit and apologize later. Yeah,
Speaker 3: figure it out. Yeah, pay a twenty five percent deposit.
Speaker 3: The most popular is the full package, which includes flights, transfers,
Speaker 3: tickets to an NBA game. We stay the night in
Speaker 3: La NBA game. I think we might be going watching
Speaker 3: the Golden State Warriors, and then we head to Vegas
Speaker 3: for four nights, you know, go to the n Ara,
Speaker 3: I watch the Wars, a few functions, a bit of gambling,
Speaker 3: a bit of fun So the full package one is
Speaker 3: the one to go for. You can get a land
Speaker 3: only one, but I think the flights are through the roof,
Speaker 3: so we've reserved all those flights already. So it takes
Speaker 3: Vegas to three two three six. Manaia will not be
Speaker 3: joining us me. It pays me every time I fucking
Speaker 3: hear this. And when we posted.
Speaker 1: That video, the hangover video of us in Vegas, and
Speaker 1: I tagged the groom of the wedding that I have
Speaker 1: on the same weekend, is it should we go to
Speaker 1: Vegas and he goes, yeah, man, we'll do a stag doughs.
Speaker 1: It's on the same day as' wedding with I don't
Speaker 1: think we'll be cutting it a bit fine unless we
Speaker 1: move the whole down anyway, you go, count Let's take
Speaker 1: a break on what the tears from my crying eyes,
Speaker 1: and we'll be back to talk about the Olympics.
Speaker 5: Alexye is within meters now and alex Ye has timed
Speaker 5: to absolute perfection. Alex Ye overtakes Hayden Wild and is
Speaker 5: in the gold medal position with the final push towards
Speaker 5: the finish line absolutely unbelievable. He turns for home, alex Ye,
Speaker 5: that is simply sensational. Weeks off our cap to you
Speaker 5: here in New Zealands and is heartbreaking wild, but alex
Speaker 5: Ye has left it to about two hundred and three
Speaker 5: hundred meters to go on the final turns again when
Speaker 5: gold in the men's triathlon in Olympic record time.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there was heartbreaking to watch that. Holy shit that
Speaker 3: the yeah, the end of that killed me. He was
Speaker 3: spent and wild. It shot as word and he well,
Speaker 3: the thing is that cycle was next level. Yeah, like
Speaker 3: having to catch up over a minute behind on that swim.
Speaker 1: Because he came out in thirtieth place out of the water.
Speaker 1: They had to make that all up and swim.
Speaker 3: How brutal did that look when they were swimming against
Speaker 3: the current against the cruise boat. Shit house.
Speaker 1: That whole thing, The fact that there was po's in
Speaker 1: the water had nothing to do like that could The
Speaker 1: water was like green. They were swimming against the current
Speaker 1: and then they were like swimming around. They were getting sweet.
Speaker 1: They were trying to hide from the current behind parked boats.
Speaker 1: They had to swim past a restaurant that was probably
Speaker 1: dumping lard out the fucking it was like.
Speaker 3: It was honestly an embarrassment.
Speaker 1: I don't know why they stuck with doing it in
Speaker 1: the sun River and say it looked like shit. When
Speaker 1: they were like we're gonna like they were so helping
Speaker 1: on doing it in the sun River, I was like, Oh,
Speaker 1: it's gonna look amazing. Then they'll swim past the Eiffel Tower,
Speaker 1: you know it'll be beautiful.
Speaker 3: It's like, no, the.
Speaker 1: Swimming through the fucking back canals of the Sin River,
Speaker 1: it looked like shit.
Speaker 3: I know they went too far from the Eiffel Tower
Speaker 3: because they did a great shot a drone shop in
Speaker 3: the Eiffel Tower and you could see the swimming in
Speaker 3: the background. It wasn't past the Eiffel Tower. I think
Speaker 3: you've been a bit harsh. No, I'm not. It looked
Speaker 3: like shit. Go to watch it.
Speaker 1: We will watch it in years to come and be like,
Speaker 1: remember that the worst league in triathlon history.
Speaker 3: I don't know. I've seen them swim around Canary Wharf
Speaker 3: in London and that it's pretty shitty. But I don't
Speaker 3: think the athletes will mind the hat. I don't know,
Speaker 3: but it was the current that did me. I've never
Speaker 3: seen them swim again. It was ridiculous current and go nowhere.
Speaker 3: But anyway, the good story was watching that's seven laps
Speaker 3: on those on the bikes and having been spent some
Speaker 3: time in Paris last year for the Rugby World Cup,
Speaker 3: it was actually I quite a quite cool and notice
Speaker 3: all the places we went past. Yeah, and there was
Speaker 3: one particular corner and it's when where the women you
Speaker 3: were crashing quite a bit. Was where Joe Jury nearly
Speaker 3: died when he got on an ee bike and accelerated
Speaker 3: into oncoming traffic.
Speaker 1: So he got on and he had I don't know
Speaker 1: if he'd ever been on one before. But as he
Speaker 1: peddled the engine kicking, just shot them into traffic. This
Speaker 1: truck's fucking beepp. I was about to I was watching
Speaker 1: him like I'm about to see a man die.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And they drove past that, the road past that
Speaker 3: seven times, and every time I went past, I'd have
Speaker 3: a have a little smile on my face and I'd
Speaker 3: text Joe.
Speaker 1: I was thinking of those poor girls that There was
Speaker 1: actually heartbreaking watching the women's race beforehand, so wet, it
Speaker 1: was so wet. They were all crashing, and I was like,
Speaker 1: can you imagine dedicating four years of your life to
Speaker 1: lose because of a tactical era or because you weren't
Speaker 1: fit enough if someone was fast, So that's one thing,
Speaker 1: but to just skid out on the cobblestones and crash
Speaker 1: already by the way, drenched in poos, you then rashing
Speaker 1: yourself across the concrete, like the illnesses that are going
Speaker 1: to come out of this.
Speaker 3: You could see where they were crashing. It was on
Speaker 3: the painted white lines crossings. Yeah, we're it was so slippy.
Speaker 3: If they didn't come in the right angle. It was heartbreaking.
Speaker 1: One of our girls crashed at a certain point, who
Speaker 1: like back, we are locked up, and then she.
Speaker 3: Was gone and you're only and you're in a pair
Speaker 3: of nickers, yeah and a crop top. Yeah, let's put
Speaker 3: you're in your togs design.
Speaker 1: If you were designed, if you had to design a
Speaker 1: way for people to get E Coli poisoning, it would
Speaker 1: be going dunk yourself in that river and then grade
Speaker 1: yourself along the concrete.
Speaker 3: The So the men's race, Hayden Wild obviously that cycle
Speaker 3: was he obviously spent so much effort on that cycle. Yes,
Speaker 3: God bless his team made a dropped back and helped him. Yeah,
Speaker 3: MC and they mowed down the leaders, which was like
Speaker 3: here we go. And they got into the run. And
Speaker 3: when when Alex Ye, who's the world champ, got in front,
Speaker 3: your commentators were like, it's over, It's over, alex Ye.
Speaker 3: And then Wild drop the hammer. He is a head
Speaker 3: by about fifteen hundred meters of the last lap. Oh yeah,
Speaker 3: and he was ahead. And then the commentator, if you
Speaker 3: were watching on TV, yeah, laid down the biggest Chris
Speaker 3: Key you have ever heard. He said. In his words,
Speaker 3: he said, the gold is New Zealand's who is going
Speaker 3: to take sick and who was going to take silver
Speaker 3: and bronze the whole time. He is just like the
Speaker 3: thing now for Alex years.
Speaker 1: Can he hold off the the duds behind him and
Speaker 1: then the British team. I think he must have sacked
Speaker 1: on some sort of gel and dropped the after burner
Speaker 1: and mote him down in the last two Hundy and
Speaker 1: it was gatting to see it attacked him so hard.
Speaker 1: There was no way that Hayden World was going to
Speaker 1: be able to catch up. And he even said afterwards
Speaker 1: he was spent. God bless him. That was the only
Speaker 1: way he was like. He did so well to catch
Speaker 1: up to him in the end, and then he was like,
Speaker 1: this is my final shot and I'm going to get
Speaker 1: out to It was honestly like two maybe three hundred
Speaker 1: meters at certain points in that run. He got that
Speaker 1: far out and I think he was just like, that's
Speaker 1: my move, this is my shot. I fired it, and
Speaker 1: he either catches me or he doesn't. It was outrageous
Speaker 1: the way that dude caught him. I mean, he was tiny.
Speaker 3: They're not big men. Nah. One of them was Bloomenthal. Yeah,
Speaker 3: this is the ball, dude, Yeah, Histon Bloomenthal. He came
Speaker 3: straight from the fat duck. Yeah, he came straight from
Speaker 3: the way that he seen you. It's like he looked
Speaker 3: like he was smoking. I was watching with my messages,
Speaker 3: just like those dad's in the field here. He was
Speaker 3: a good cyclist, though, that's the thing. He wants to
Speaker 3: race the Tour de France. So that's what the commentators
Speaker 3: were saying. Next to you, old bloom And though now
Speaker 3: the highlight of that trithon the massive cross line vomb oh,
Speaker 3: that was great. So they were focusing on Wild and
Speaker 3: Ye leaning up against the hoardings, arms around each other.
Speaker 3: Was a beautiful moment of you know, two champion try
Speaker 3: athletes and then one athlete crossing the line and just
Speaker 3: vombing his gut like full power chunder right in front
Speaker 3: of them, right in front of them, both of them,
Speaker 3: and I was like seeing river yeah, oh yeah, and
Speaker 3: the fact he was absolutely yes yeah.
Speaker 1: But then so he's got poos all over himself. Now
Speaker 1: he's going to eat whatever lollies he's brought with him.
Speaker 1: That was the other thing. And I've forgotten which one
Speaker 1: of girls it was, but when she crashed all of
Speaker 1: her like food and drink, all her energies, stuff, just
Speaker 1: went scattering across the course and she had she looked
Speaker 1: around and was just like, I'm just gonna have to
Speaker 1: get back on my bike here. So she had no
Speaker 1: she had no nutrition, She didn't eat anything, she didn't
Speaker 1: drink anything since before the start of the swim, and
Speaker 1: she was just like, I was bugging, and I say, here,
Speaker 1: he's a ruler.
Speaker 3: I didn't know that. If you get lapped on the
Speaker 3: cycle while you're out, you're out. And I saw a
Speaker 3: guy that's some Congolese guy, and it was the first lap.
Speaker 3: He was so far behind they lapped him and then
Speaker 3: he just did a lap of honor and he was
Speaker 3: just driving down, just wave into the crowd and the
Speaker 3: crowd agave me because he's just like guys see at
Speaker 3: the closing ceremony.
Speaker 1: Yeah, God bless them. I like that maybe the last
Speaker 1: time that he that he gets to do that. So yeah,
Speaker 1: it was good. I just I don't know, it was
Speaker 1: just so heartbroken for those girls watching them crash out
Speaker 1: as they went around. Isaac McCarty Will McKenzie is starting
Speaker 1: in the forty nine and middle race, which is overnight tonight.
Speaker 1: The mckewey's, they're calling them the Mwey's McCarty and McKenzie.
Speaker 3: They will start in third place.
Speaker 1: Joe flag Bearer and Molly Metch have also advanced to
Speaker 1: the forty nine medal race, but too far back to
Speaker 1: claim silver where apparently, why is it.
Speaker 3: A medal race when they can't win the fucking medals?
Speaker 3: I don't know this is this is the thing should
Speaker 3: be called a non medal racing. Okay.
Speaker 1: Windsurfers Josh Armpitt, Josh Matt and vel ten Half have
Speaker 1: made solid progress up the standings on Wednesday as well.
Speaker 1: But the most exciting for me is Ryan Fox starts tonight.
Speaker 1: He teas off and he is basically just normal format.
Speaker 1: There's no cut in the Olympics. How me rounds they
Speaker 1: play presumed three?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Is that how many?
Speaker 1: So Thursday Friday four? No Friday, Saturday, Sunday three? Okay,
Speaker 1: look a bit of podcast would know this.
Speaker 3: Yeah. So it's like a live format, no cat, just
Speaker 3: go for.
Speaker 1: It, just go for it. I'm excited to see that.
Speaker 1: I don't really know how it's going to be any
Speaker 1: different than you know, normal normal golf tournament. I can't
Speaker 1: imagine it will be.
Speaker 3: I guess you don't have to worry about the cut.
Speaker 3: I guess is that a big stress for a golfer.
Speaker 3: I guess it is. Probably it's a payday.
Speaker 1: Would probably really piss them off if they would have
Speaker 1: otherwise been cut, but they still have to play despite
Speaker 1: the fact that they've got no chance at winning. I
Speaker 1: think it's like a sixty sixty person field as well.
Speaker 1: But yeah, that starts overnight. To not you mentioned the
Speaker 1: pay there. Bleacher Report put out an article this morning
Speaker 1: about how much the different.
Speaker 3: People get paid gold bonus for gold medals. Yeah, a
Speaker 3: gold bonus.
Speaker 1: So the United States if you want a gold there,
Speaker 1: that's thirty seven and a half one thousand dollars. Canada
Speaker 1: is fourteen thousand dollars for winning a gold, France eighty
Speaker 1: five thousand.
Speaker 3: They are killing it in this Olympic, so most host
Speaker 3: countries do. Yeah, I'm just looking up the medal Telly
Speaker 3: as well to make sure that. Oh, I've just looked
Speaker 3: up the meal telling. I was he he got a
Speaker 3: table in front of me? I was, was he's not that good?
Speaker 3: Thirteen three hundred and forty. I thought there would have
Speaker 3: been more same given how much of a bonus they've
Speaker 3: got for the Olympics. Ess, I know, and how much
Speaker 3: preparation they put into it. I thought there was more
Speaker 3: Spain assuming as well. Yeah Spain, where Spain's money coming from?
Speaker 3: One hundred and one thousand dollars a gold medal? Because
Speaker 3: they is a country I broke. This is why. Yeah,
Speaker 3: this is why they're like, eh, don't worry about it,
Speaker 3: we'll borrow some more and double that with Italy. Yep,
Speaker 3: one hundred and ninety three thousand. Is that because they
Speaker 3: don't win many? Oh? Yeah, that's a good point, because
Speaker 3: I mean, look at State's, Australia, France, so they win
Speaker 3: a butt load. They want to be handing out cash
Speaker 3: all the time. So that's an Look, if you if
Speaker 3: you win, make hours a million. We'll give you half
Speaker 3: a meal if you win. I reckon we should give
Speaker 3: ours a million.
Speaker 1: Because they know that they're not going to win. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm just scrolling back through because I couldn't find the
Speaker 1: Serbia paying something like two or three hundred thousand dollars
Speaker 1: if you win, and I presume.
Speaker 3: That's for every medalist. Now they've got a very real
Speaker 3: chance of winning the basketball. I don't know if it's
Speaker 3: I don't think it's per I don't think it's a medalist,
Speaker 3: is it? Is it per? I think it's per sport.
Speaker 1: Okay, it would have to because I was going to say,
Speaker 1: that's a fifteen man roster.
Speaker 3: Yeah, plus coaches, plus coaches, because the coaches get anything.
Speaker 3: Do they get a split of that? Do coaches get
Speaker 3: a middle? Do coaches get us? I don't know know
Speaker 3: they don't, But do they get a middle in the
Speaker 3: team sports? They don't? Do they do horses get a middle?
Speaker 3: They should? They should look pretty balling with a horse
Speaker 3: running around with a big gold medal on the sneck. Subia.
Speaker 1: They get two hundred and eighteen thousand dollars for a
Speaker 1: gold medal.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's good. I mean, look, that's good gambling from
Speaker 3: that government and that high performance because they're not going
Speaker 3: to win jack shd apart from the basketball, well perhaps,
Speaker 3: and if they win the basketball, it'll probably be worth
Speaker 3: it for them.
Speaker 1: Germany's only twenty one thousand. They're very financially responsible, Yeah.
Speaker 3: Very much. That would have looked at the box, very missionary.
Speaker 3: Yet I'm not entirely sure what New Zealand is, but
Speaker 3: I imagine it'd be bugger. I think they get a free
Speaker 3: beef and Lamb for a year and a Toyota to
Speaker 3: use for eighteen months. Okay, that is that Pitchel included
Speaker 3: in the no road road user charges. That's you assurance
Speaker 3: either yeah right, no other and no one else can
Speaker 3: drive it, so no nominated drivers. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So if you're in the US, you get thirty seven thousand,
Speaker 1: Kennedy get fourteen thousand. New Zealand you get a Honey
Speaker 1: on your way back, and.
Speaker 3: Some wheat backs and some weeatbacks. Yeah, go bliss.
Speaker 1: Do you want to play the middle Telly game? I
Speaker 1: guess who on day whatever it is today is in
Speaker 1: the lead. And the lead I'm gonna say, is that France.
Speaker 6: Non?
Speaker 3: Oh it can still be Japan. Non, it is not Japan.
Speaker 3: China China. Yes, the PRC, the People's.
Speaker 1: Republic of China are in the lead with nine gold middles.
Speaker 1: France have eight, Japan have eight, Okay, and then it's
Speaker 1: America or Australia. Then it's Australia, Great Britain, the Republic
Speaker 1: of Korea, and the Republic of the United States of
Speaker 1: America USA down there.
Speaker 3: But my new the athletics are coming and they kick us.
Speaker 3: Yeah they do.
Speaker 1: So as it stands, the Usa have the most total
Speaker 1: middles because they got thirteen silver's twelve bronzes.
Speaker 3: And then we scroll.
Speaker 1: All the way down to New Zealand, should I kind
Speaker 1: even find them as Slovakia, Ukraine, we've only got the
Speaker 1: what have we got? We've got one gold, one silver,
Speaker 1: but hey, we've got the sitting down stuff to come.
Speaker 1: We are just behind Georgia and the Netherlands. We're just
Speaker 1: above Belgium, Kazakhstan and South Africa.
Speaker 3: Who should be our arrival. I mean, obviously it's Australia,
Speaker 3: but they kick our ass when it comes to this.
Speaker 3: I think anyone needs the same population Ireland, Ireland, Yeah, Ireland,
Speaker 3: I think we're ahead of them. We should target any
Speaker 3: other kind of nations of similar population size around the
Speaker 3: four and a half Azerbaijan I think a bit more
Speaker 3: than four and a half, you know, places like u AE. Yeah,
Speaker 3: but again Singapore, they're around sitting around there anyway.
Speaker 1: So those are your top five China, France, Japan, Australia,
Speaker 1: Great Britain. All right, it is a third and the
Speaker 1: Olympics are on, so I figured we might as well
Speaker 1: throw it back to the two thousand and four summer Olympics.
Speaker 1: For today's Throwback Thursday. This was competed at Athens, Greece.
Speaker 3: That's right.
Speaker 1: I remember this one very very vividly in my mind.
Speaker 1: Five total medals and they read thusly. Georgina and Caroline
Speaker 1: Everswindell won the doubles skulls.
Speaker 3: The twins.
Speaker 1: Yeah, speaking of Beef and Lamb, they were they the
Speaker 1: iron Maidens, they were the iron Maidens. Sarah Olmer won
Speaker 1: one of her five gold medals at this Olympics.
Speaker 3: That was in the women's individual pursuit.
Speaker 1: But I think the most memorable moment from this Olympic
Speaker 1: Games was a Hamish Carter Bevan Doherty one two and
Speaker 1: the triathlon. They were talking about it last night with
Speaker 1: Hayden Wild's triathlon, the commentators talking about these.
Speaker 3: So that was a real formative memory for me. I
Speaker 3: don't know why, I just remember watching it. And also
Speaker 3: the formative memory for me is then they made them
Speaker 3: wear those reefs, those Romans, a Roman and reefs during
Speaker 3: the middle ceremony. I actually thought it really suited Hamish Carter.
Speaker 3: He looks great with the reefs he did. He didn't
Speaker 3: have a really Roman feature he did.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he looked like an Emperor, but not so much
Speaker 1: Bevan Dockerty. Unfortunately, I was more dockety mean anyway, so
Speaker 1: was I so much so that me and my mate's
Speaker 1: grown up we used to call beers.
Speaker 3: You know, people call them beverages babies. We called them
Speaker 3: Bevin's dockety chucks. A Bevan's Dougherty over there, you want
Speaker 3: to get on the Bevans doughertyes. And Ben Poey was
Speaker 3: the other one that the middle is a blast for
Speaker 3: the past. Fowey and the kay Okay one one thousand
Speaker 3: Fowey coming away with the with the silver. Well, he
Speaker 3: was favored to win, wasn't he Wasn't he a hot favorite?
Speaker 3: I inspect I suspect.
Speaker 1: He may have even gone on to win another one
Speaker 1: if I bring up Ben Fowey here, Yeah he did.
Speaker 1: He won world champs, yes, few few world champs and
Speaker 1: then he was actually the only meddle that he won
Speaker 1: at the Olympics, and the other one for me because
Speaker 1: this was back in the peak of our basketball power.
Speaker 3: Yes, so this was around when we came fourth at
Speaker 3: the World Champso Cameron was dominating world basketball. Yeah, Mark
Speaker 3: Deck or Kirkpenny, but the reefed and kid had himself
Speaker 3: a tournament against a China. Phil Jones the reefing Kid
Speaker 3: scored twenty seven points. We lost sixty two to sixty nine,
Speaker 3: Yao Ming scoring thirty nine of those points for China.
Speaker 1: Fuck playing is Yao Ming Argentina, who I think may
Speaker 1: have even gone on to win this one. In two
Speaker 1: thousand and four we lost by four points. Phil Jones
Speaker 1: twenty five points in that game, twenty three against Spain
Speaker 1: and then twenty six against Australia.
Speaker 3: The reefeding Kid. It was balling out back in two
Speaker 3: thousand and four.
Speaker 1: If you had to get not guess, but what do
Speaker 1: you reckon? We're your favorite Olympics all the time.
Speaker 3: It has to be Sydney. Yeah, Sydney for some I
Speaker 3: don't know, for some reason, close to home, close to home,
Speaker 3: I don't know. It just and I think we it
Speaker 3: was our best coverage of an Olympic Games. It was
Speaker 3: a very formative moment for me when I saw Lee
Speaker 3: getting access into some very restricted areas with a packet
Speaker 3: of felt tip pins around his neck which he had
Speaker 3: put onto a lanyard and put his photo in the
Speaker 3: top corner and was just walking around just with a
Speaker 3: cameraman who I'd say the cameramon was accredited and he
Speaker 3: just walk in with these felt tippins areund his neck.
Speaker 3: I think they're in London. Oh yeah, London, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know for me for some reason, Beijing.
Speaker 3: I guess it's just the age oars. Oh that was crazy.
Speaker 3: That was crazy. Amount of the opening ceremony was next
Speaker 3: level there, frantic. Yeah, a lot of indentured servicey had
Speaker 3: gone on there. But yeah, that was his throwback.
Speaker 1: Thursday for Today Ethens two thousand and four, beven Dockerty
Speaker 1: Hammish Carter one too, how good.
Speaker 3: We're going to take one more quick break and we
Speaker 3: come back.
Speaker 1: It's yours please, yours please, brought to you by Leader Home.
Speaker 3: Of the.
Speaker 1: Five of to get through today, and the first one
Speaker 1: goes like, that's yours please.
Speaker 7: Good day guys. Vesta here just on the Olympians, just caring,
Speaker 7: just when they win, they just have their medals on
Speaker 7: them add all times, because fuck it, you know you're
Speaker 7: the best in the world, right A made in my
Speaker 7: nose an Olympian and he just walks around his house
Speaker 7: and goes to parties and just does whatever with the
Speaker 7: bronze around his neck. Moses lawns and shit with the
Speaker 7: bronze been around his neck, and it's just so fucking
Speaker 7: funny anyway, Fox South Cannery.
Speaker 3: I like how people don't know how to end the
Speaker 3: message now, so they know they know how to end it. Look,
Speaker 3: if I want an Olympic medal, I would wear it
Speaker 3: at any possible moment. We said this yesterday.
Speaker 1: I got a participation medal for a half marathon, one
Speaker 1: of two that I ran within the same calendar month.
Speaker 1: But I still wear both of them, and it annoys
Speaker 1: my messas because when I get up to go to
Speaker 1: the bathroom in the middle of the night, they jingle.
Speaker 3: The two medals just bang together.
Speaker 1: So I can only imagine how insufferable I would be
Speaker 1: if I was to win anual medal.
Speaker 3: Yeah, if I was actually win something. Yeah, of curneficance
Speaker 3: as well, we're everywhere. Eric Murray talks about the fact
Speaker 3: is his gold medals are just beaten to a pulp
Speaker 3: because he takes them to every single event and people
Speaker 3: put them on and get photos and and I'd quite like,
Speaker 3: He's like, that's what they're for. Why would I hang
Speaker 3: them in my Like there's only only a very small
Speaker 3: amount of people are ever going to get their hands
Speaker 3: on a gold medal, So what's stopping me helping people
Speaker 3: do that? Yeah, he says they're completely ruined.
Speaker 1: But I think they can replace them for you if
Speaker 1: you either break them or lose them, because this year
Speaker 1: they're made out of parts of the Eiffel Tower.
Speaker 3: Did they remove some of the Eiffel Tower.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they did some repair works on it a couple
Speaker 1: of years ago and they kept the steel aside. I
Speaker 1: presume they knew this was coming up, so they've put
Speaker 1: that in there. But they've made I can't remember what
Speaker 1: the number is, but it's more than they expect to
Speaker 1: be one, if you know what I mean. Right, So
Speaker 1: what do they do with the bonus ones? Like if
Speaker 1: there's an extra ten middles flown round?
Speaker 3: I mean, if you're working at the middle factory, you're
Speaker 3: definitely taking one home.
Speaker 1: If I'm working at the middle factory, yeah, I'm taking
Speaker 1: one home. No, actually I'm taking it straight into the
Speaker 1: nearest tattoo shop.
Speaker 3: Well around my necks. But just show them my forum,
Speaker 3: like you know what to do? Help me, help me
Speaker 3: right now? I drew a massive penis on your own. Yeah,
Speaker 3: that's why I wouldn't take it to you. I'd take
Speaker 3: it into that he would know exactly immediately four arm
Speaker 3: Olympic rings. You know what. Yeah, I'd do that as well.
Speaker 3: But I'd also make up a sport that I won, Yeah,
Speaker 3: and put it in a cabinet and hide it somewhere
Speaker 3: so when I die, you know, my grandkids are clearing
Speaker 3: my shit out and they go, oh, fuck motorsports.
Speaker 1: I didn't think they had them at the Olympics account
Speaker 1: of it not being a sport.
Speaker 3: It just creates some sort of false legacy that you're
Speaker 3: an Olympian. The cabatos. It's a long game. Yeah, it's
Speaker 3: a very little payoff. Not me.
Speaker 1: I would show up because, like I said, I know
Speaker 1: I could have made Who's actually at the Olympics sailing tonight?
Speaker 1: Ronie le Luis sailing for summer. But the next time
Speaker 1: I saw him, you know, I met up at the
Speaker 1: pub and I just walk into my Olympic.
Speaker 3: Oh mate, you were at the Olympics today. I didn't
Speaker 3: think he might knock you out. I think he would.
Speaker 3: Another caller here yours please.
Speaker 8: Yeah, muppets, your ability of form strong opinions without actually
Speaker 8: fat checking is caught incredible you're calling bronze medal key
Speaker 8: with gold. I've just looked it up and we've actually
Speaker 8: won more gold medals than bronze at the Olympics in
Speaker 8: our history. We're actually got more gold than any other medal,
Speaker 8: So stop calling it key.
Speaker 3: We gold.
Speaker 8: Yeah, fucking losers.
Speaker 3: Wow, fuck the Brisbane broncos. Well, I think if you
Speaker 3: go back to Commonwealth Games and various other things, I
Speaker 3: think you might find it it is you might or
Speaker 3: you might not. Again, we don't fact check on this show. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I bet to say, yeah, but thank you for facts
Speaker 3: checking us. Can you I'm gonna ask that caller go
Speaker 3: back and can you come back and give us some
Speaker 3: stats around COMM games and around the bronze gold ratio? Yep,
Speaker 3: you do that. You come back, let us know. Yeah,
Speaker 3: we made us wrong. We may have to end our
Speaker 3: state of the ship hats. I think I think it's
Speaker 3: more of a cultural thing.
Speaker 1: Like two meter Peter, he's actually a meter of ninety
Speaker 1: eight and he's not two meters tall at all.
Speaker 3: It's just rhymes.
Speaker 1: And I think that we feel more kinship with the
Speaker 1: bronze than we do with the gold. And so that's
Speaker 1: why that's why I feel like that's been thrown out
Speaker 1: of whack. I still think of it as the key
Speaker 1: with gold, no matter what your research will show us.
Speaker 1: But please do get in touch another call here yours fizz.
Speaker 3: Get a fellas.
Speaker 4: Given that there's a refugee team at the Olympics, how
Speaker 4: about a dictator's team as well. Maybe the dictator gets
Speaker 4: to check who is which sport they'd like a free
Speaker 4: entry for one of their athletes. Your Russia's your North Koreas.
Speaker 4: They're only catchers. They have to submit they had to
Speaker 4: submit evidence that they are a dictator or it does
Speaker 4: a dictatorship and that can be used in the International
Speaker 4: Court of Justice.
Speaker 3: Right, it's been quite complex that once. So you you
Speaker 3: have to front foot that you're committing some atrocities, yes,
Speaker 3: atrocities back home to your own people, just in the
Speaker 3: hope that you might be able to get yourself a
Speaker 3: gold medal at the Olympics. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I don't know what as Bojan has already got a
Speaker 1: gold medal. I think so far, are they a dictatorship call? Yeah,
Speaker 1: they're a good one.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know. I just think that what's what's
Speaker 3: the advantage there for them? I think it's just a
Speaker 3: dictator's team, because can they not put in their own
Speaker 3: teams because they're being banned or no. The Olympics, it
Speaker 3: just to prove that they're dictator. They just come in
Speaker 3: and go right, I'm a dictator. I can dictate which
Speaker 3: sport I'm going to enter an athlete.
Speaker 1: And it just makes me think of that the movie
Speaker 1: The Dictator where he takes off with the gun, shoots
Speaker 1: it in the air and then starts shooting the other birds.
Speaker 1: As he's running along, someone overtakes him drop.
Speaker 3: Back a little bit. Damn it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know's it's a good idea. As I
Speaker 1: said before, idiot, I mean quite a good rugby player in.
Speaker 3: His day, yep, so he potentially well on he's dead,
Speaker 3: was a pretty handy golfer. He'd probably take out the
Speaker 3: he was golf. I think he's got the world record. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I think it was eighteen holes in one, eighteen consecutive
Speaker 3: holes in one. Him to do that for three rounds.
Speaker 3: But I mean, you'd like to think you could probably
Speaker 3: bogey if you after your first round of eighteen.
Speaker 1: Yeah. In fact, he could go around in eighteen. I
Speaker 1: could play the next two rounds. He'd probably still win
Speaker 1: another call here you're.
Speaker 6: Can a fellas jack here it jack off lots. Can
Speaker 6: we make a new league team for the NRL with
Speaker 6: the major sponsor of maybe dough Bro, maybe called the
Speaker 6: dough Bro do Blaze, featuring only double barrel last names.
Speaker 6: Just imagine for Noah Blake, Nicol Klock's dead, He's the
Speaker 6: least in the Yak. I suffer Solomona, for Sha Harris, Harris,
Speaker 6: Defeta Sewn, Johnny Johnson.
Speaker 3: The list goes on. Noah. I like that. I like
Speaker 3: the fact that you can only play for this team
Speaker 3: because you've got a double barrel. The dough Bros. Ye,
Speaker 3: I like it too. I think it may already exist,
Speaker 3: the dough Bro team. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think you may know it as the one New
Speaker 1: Zealand Warriors. I think they have the record. I think
Speaker 1: I think they're one and two for the most double
Speaker 1: bearl names.
Speaker 3: It's funny because the double barrel name is usually synonymous
Speaker 3: with posh Australian private school rugby teams. Yeah yeah, and
Speaker 3: Surprising Snacking the league. Now they hold the double bear.
Speaker 1: That's one of those things where it's like showering outside.
Speaker 1: You only do it either because you're really rich.
Speaker 3: Or really poor and that's the same for double barreled
Speaker 3: last names. And so I think what you're seeing in
Speaker 3: the n r L as the latter.
Speaker 1: And like I've always said, great rugby league players come
Speaker 1: from broken homes and that's why we that's why we
Speaker 1: see so many of these double barreled names in the NRL.
Speaker 1: That's why the Warriors have done so well in these
Speaker 1: last couple of years we're in.
Speaker 3: In terms of Australian rugby, it's more the amalgamation of
Speaker 3: two wealthy families. Yeah, that's right. They want to they
Speaker 3: want to show those off, whereas in the NRL is
Speaker 3: because the parents aren't together anymore.
Speaker 1: And so that's where I think the disconnector is there.
Speaker 1: But yeah, like I said, great idea, I think it
Speaker 1: already exists and it is your one New Zealand Warriors.
Speaker 1: I think we're one more yours please.
Speaker 9: Kay Fellas, Hey, I'm not upset, I'm just disappointed.
Speaker 4: Man.
Speaker 9: You say you're an NRL fan, g Lane, you say
Speaker 9: you're always looking out to the sniper. Wednesday night, you
Speaker 9: haven't talked about Alex Johnson getting taken out by the sniper.
Speaker 9: Achilles to Alex Johnson he's one of the best athletes
Speaker 9: in the NRL. It was hard to watch and you
Speaker 9: guys haven't even talked about it.
Speaker 3: Look, I don't want to talk about it because it
Speaker 3: makes me sick. Yeah, and a Kelly's injury, And like
Speaker 3: I said, I'm waiting for it to happen. I'm just waiting.
Speaker 3: I'm a sitting duck.
Speaker 1: I live in constant fear of it. This one was textbook.
Speaker 1: It was exactly how you think it's going to go.
Speaker 1: It was he was about to take a carry out
Speaker 1: of their own end. He just was like, you know,
Speaker 1: running back to get into position to then take off
Speaker 1: to do a head up, bounced, dropped.
Speaker 3: No one touched him, he was not near anyone down,
Speaker 3: escorted off. Sniper one took the shot. Sniper one took
Speaker 3: the shot. I live in constant fear of it. I think.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I've told this on the podcast,
Speaker 1: but the the groom whose weddings on the same day
Speaker 1: as the Warriors, he recently did his achilles. He messaged
Speaker 1: me to tell me, and I immediately replied and said, shit,
Speaker 1: you probably have to move the wouldn't you said?
Speaker 3: No, No, that still goes on.
Speaker 1: There's some sort of hip drop situation where it was
Speaker 1: like a crunch, and then I was like, did it hurt?
Speaker 1: You know, because sometimes these injuries it's like they actually
Speaker 1: don't hurt.
Speaker 3: He goes, fuck it, it's so bad. He went and
Speaker 3: had beers in the shed. Before he realized that his
Speaker 3: achilles was actually gone. He still couldn't put any weight
Speaker 3: on it. So, yeah, we live in constant fear.
Speaker 1: It's gonna now that we've talked so much about it,
Speaker 1: it's gonna happen to one of us.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I'm off skiing in a couple of weeks.
Speaker 3: Last year, I got banana boated off with the torn hamstring.
Speaker 3: So I'm looking at one up. That one is an
