Speaker 1: Live for the Export Beer Garden Studio, brought to you,
Speaker 1: as always by Export Ultra of the Beer for here.
Speaker 1: This is the Agenda Podcast for the second of September.
Speaker 2: The Agenda Podcast, the home of Sporting Nonsense and clap Trap,
Speaker 2: brought to you by Export.
Speaker 1: A vulture made it through winter as it spring spring
Speaker 1: sprung yesterday.
Speaker 3: It's certainly dead.
Speaker 1: The grasses rise. Wonder where the flowers is. It felt like,
Speaker 1: well at least up in the top of the North Island,
Speaker 1: that the weather woke up and was just like, oh fuck,
Speaker 1: is it spring? Yeah?
Speaker 3: He goes go go a bit a bit of lightning
Speaker 3: and thunder overnight just to finish winter off.
Speaker 1: Yep, and then sunshine, rainbows, lollipops. The next day, went
Speaker 1: out for a pint on the north shore over your
Speaker 1: neck of the woods. Yes, yeah, bloody beautiful over there, rosies,
Speaker 1: red hot contena.
Speaker 3: Overlooking the playground.
Speaker 1: Overlooking the playground, absolutely rammed to good thing about that playground.
Speaker 1: It's a beautiful playground, quite tall lighthouse sort of fixture,
Speaker 1: and then there's like a drawbridge your kids can crawl
Speaker 1: across to like another thing, and it's all entirely enclosed. Yeah,
Speaker 1: obviously from a safety perspective, but then also I presume
Speaker 1: once your kids are in there, it's like, fuck, whatever
Speaker 1: goes on, I know where they are.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I spend a lot of time at that
Speaker 3: Checkapoonic playground and a lot of time at that particular bar.
Speaker 3: You were at this where you could get a seat
Speaker 3: on the balcony and you could have a line of
Speaker 3: sight of the playground, and I reckon you could get
Speaker 3: through three pints before your kids notice you were missing yep,
Speaker 3: and then they'd be looking around, and then you go okay,
Speaker 3: and you've got to go show face and then send
Speaker 3: them back up the tower and then go with another.
Speaker 1: Beer, because there's that period there where kids like shit.
Speaker 1: As long as they stay quiet, Dad's not going to
Speaker 1: notice that I've been on this playground for ages.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And meanwhile, yeah, you're on the other side, like, as
Speaker 1: long as they stay quiet, I can get about ten
Speaker 1: more beers. I don't understand why New Zealand we don't
Speaker 1: have more playgrounds at pubs. I feel like that should
Speaker 1: be a staple of a New Zealand pub.
Speaker 3: I think it's pretty punishing for people who don't have kids.
Speaker 1: Definitely, Yeah, so I think that's.
Speaker 3: Where that comes down to, Like you want to go
Speaker 3: to Hey, do you want to go to this pub.
Speaker 3: It's got a mass of full playground and your mate's
Speaker 3: got no kids. You can go, you can go get fucked.
Speaker 3: Yeah I'm not doing that.
Speaker 1: I'm going to go to basically the same thing, but
Speaker 1: without the kids. How about that? What about playgrounds for adults?
Speaker 3: I don't want to take my kids to the pub.
Speaker 1: Essentially that is a pub. Yeah, so don't encourage me.
Speaker 1: That's fair. That is fair. Across the weekend, the Greatest
Speaker 1: New Zealander is getting to the pointy end as well
Speaker 1: up and beat Stacy on Saturday. My dad rang me
Speaker 1: yesterday afternoon, Happy Father's Day at all the father's globally,
Speaker 1: and he said, Upham's gonna take the whole fucking thing.
Speaker 1: He's going to win the whole thing. Do you think
Speaker 1: he's like, there's just people, you know, people love Charlie Upham.
Speaker 1: I also said that I think that Charlie Upham was
Speaker 1: just lucky he was born when he was, because at
Speaker 1: any other point in history he might have been a
Speaker 1: bit too much for general population. Yeah, he was. If
Speaker 1: you read that chasing Charlie book. He's yeah his full noise. Yeah,
Speaker 1: apparently good bugger. You know, gold members of the army
Speaker 1: so came across him a couple of times.
Speaker 3: I think I'd certainly want him in my battalion. Oh yeah,
Speaker 3: I'd certainly want him at the front with a backpack
Speaker 3: full of grenades, just halfened them into Yeah, well, shine
Speaker 3: boxes were left, right and center.
Speaker 1: Unfortunately, on Saturday he went into Stacy jones pearl box
Speaker 1: with a backpack full of fifteen grenades and lit him up. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So that's the end of Stacy Jones for the Greatest
Speaker 1: New Zealander of all time and the end The quarterfinals
Speaker 1: kicked off, well, actually kicked off with up in v
Speaker 1: Stacey and then Dame Lisa yesterday beat Bruce McLaren in
Speaker 1: the first quarter final.
Speaker 3: Oh so I do think that's recency biased, but the
Speaker 3: go that's me.
Speaker 1: I did vote for Bruce, Oh you did? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Things are getting really heated in the comments on that
Speaker 1: one as well. No, I didn't think Bruce. I don't
Speaker 1: think Bruce. Well, look he made some fast cars. I
Speaker 1: just don't. I don't think about Bruce McLaren very often.
Speaker 3: You know, it's a global brand, though, it.
Speaker 1: Is, but I only live in New Zealand, so I
Speaker 1: don't you know, if I lived all over the world,
Speaker 1: that would probably have a bigger.
Speaker 3: Potentially one of the biggest global brands outside of the
Speaker 3: All Blacks. You got All Blacks McLaren. I guarantee if
Speaker 3: what you said to someon Watson McLaren's it's a cat,
Speaker 3: but he's not associated musing on so much, people probably
Speaker 3: ain't know that it was a key we but we do.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's all I think of, what like every
Speaker 1: now and then if I see McLaren, I'm like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's right, that ke we did this.
Speaker 3: And also you think about how big Formula one is
Speaker 3: now and McLaren are knocking on the door. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: they are putting the ships that red Bull Van strap
Speaker 3: On is in trouble.
Speaker 1: Yeah right, yeah, yeah. I don't know. Well anyway, apparently
Speaker 1: neither does anyone else. So that's why Lisa beat Bruce
Speaker 1: McLaren in the first quarter final. And then today it's
Speaker 1: Richie versus Dave Dobbin. It's going to be a blood bath.
Speaker 3: I'm afraid. Yeah, I love Dobbo, but Richie'll take him.
Speaker 1: I think it's going to be Richie as well.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's only going to get spicy when Richie comes
Speaker 3: up against Dame Lisa or Upham, Yeah, or Hilary Yeah, Hillary,
Speaker 3: Barry's no, She's gone, yeah, wrist and power Hills Bears.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think that, I really think that Upham's going
Speaker 1: to take the whole thing out. And I just think
Speaker 1: that why that is is because a lot of these
Speaker 1: people are like the kind of trivial herald the giraft
Speaker 1: no disrespect to him and shout out to the Life
Speaker 1: Education Trust for getting involved when he was up against Richie. Yeah,
Speaker 1: God blessed them. They had a crack. They shared it
Speaker 1: on their own Instagram. But Charles Upham was a war
Speaker 1: hero and something that was actually quite consequential. Were the
Speaker 1: most consequential conflict of maybe human existence, and he, you know,
Speaker 1: played a big part of it. So it's like that
Speaker 1: versus just the fourth Square guy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, what about a final of Sir Edmund Hillary
Speaker 3: versus Charles Upham.
Speaker 1: I think again, Charles Upham, you know, Rea, Yeah, because
Speaker 1: if d Hillary didn't climb that hell, someone else was
Speaker 1: going to.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but he also drove a messy Ferguson into the
Speaker 3: south Pole.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but if he didn't do that, I daresay no
Speaker 1: one would have and we still would have been sweet.
Speaker 1: You know. But if Charlie Upham didn't charge those pill
Speaker 1: boxes with nothing but a fucking you know, Kiwi flag
Speaker 1: and in fifteen grenades g string and a a grenade
Speaker 1: pin between his teeth, then you know, we might be
Speaker 1: speaking German. And I think that's why. I think that's
Speaker 1: why he's running rough shot over the competition so far.
Speaker 1: And I also think that's probably the same for Richie
Speaker 1: because if he, you know, it wasn't the captain, we
Speaker 1: may not have won those World Cups. Idea say, the
Speaker 1: porthills would still be on fire if he wasn't flying
Speaker 1: his helicopters. So yeah, I think that they're heating for
Speaker 1: a collision course. I need to check the Oh it's
Speaker 1: quarter finals now, so yeah, I reckon it's going to
Speaker 1: be those two.
Speaker 3: So where we have a winner by the.
Speaker 1: End of the week, we're gonna have a winner. By
Speaker 1: the end of the week, we're going to have crowned
Speaker 1: the greatest New Zealander of all time. And that's when
Speaker 1: the hard work begins, because we then need to start
Speaker 1: campaigning Chris Luxen to change the twenty dollar note, which,
Speaker 1: if you don't remember, at the start of this whole thing,
Speaker 1: we realized that the twenty dollar note doesn't have a
Speaker 1: famous New Zealander on it. All it's got is on
Speaker 1: one side a hawk, which I pray they have a
Speaker 1: license for, and then on the other side it's the Queen. Queen. Well, queen,
Speaker 1: he's did so shout the Queen no more. So we've
Speaker 1: got to replace her. And I think it's boring to
Speaker 1: replace her with the king. So we need campaign for
Speaker 1: whoever our greatest New Zealander of all timers.
Speaker 3: That's sure. Shaton want big ears on it.
Speaker 1: And if it's in Hillary, then he's going to be
Speaker 1: on two.
Speaker 3: That's true. She's already got one.
Speaker 1: He's going to be on the five, and he's going
Speaker 1: to be on the twenty. So God bless him. Maybe
Speaker 1: that counts against him when he comes up against someone
Speaker 1: Charlie Upham on the twenty dollar.
Speaker 3: I don't think you know one would have a problem
Speaker 3: with that, just like he should be mid throw yeah,
Speaker 3: like it was a grenade in hand.
Speaker 1: Yeah one or Richie Again, I don't think any one
Speaker 1: would have an issue with that Dave Dublin. Maybe I
Speaker 1: don't know anyway. All right, let's take a break there.
Speaker 1: There's been so much sport over the weekend. We need
Speaker 1: to dive into all of it. So we'll take quick
Speaker 1: break and come right back. We started at the top
Speaker 1: with the all blacks ge lane this morning. This morning,
Speaker 1: I was going at the gym. Did you think we'd
Speaker 1: be straight into the gym that quickly? No, anyway, we are. Yeah.
Speaker 1: You can go to the gym quite often, quite often. Ye. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I see you know the same people when you
Speaker 1: go that frequently, you sort of get to know each
Speaker 1: other and you do anything you just go there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that was a pretty gruesome back and buy subsession this morning.
Speaker 1: And if you don't believe me, you can ask my
Speaker 1: dear friend Ian Jones, who I saw again this morning
Speaker 1: at the gym. And when I saw herm he was
Speaker 1: on the bench press. He comes over, looked over and
Speaker 1: sigredated her and he goes discipline man, And I was like,
Speaker 1: I'm here, Yeah, that's what I said. I was just like,
Speaker 1: Monday's the most important day, Camo, I'm here, I'm doing
Speaker 1: the damn thing. And he goes, Nah, the fucking all blacks.
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, yeah, of course, and he said
Speaker 1: for him, it was just so disappointing all of the
Speaker 1: penalties that we gave away. Penalty count was fourteen to five.
Speaker 1: I said, oh, the TJ one did my head and
Speaker 1: he yelled at the riff. He said what the fuck
Speaker 1: was that to theriff, and the riff immediately pinged him
Speaker 1: for it, and come. I was saying, oh, I didn't
Speaker 1: mind that one because it was like random, you couldn't
Speaker 1: have predicted that, But there were a lot of other
Speaker 1: ones that were like, come on, you know, the riff's
Speaker 1: blowing this up tonight, so do you keep doing it.
Speaker 3: I don't blame TJ because that penalty. I don't think
Speaker 3: he was yelling what the fuck was that to the ref.
Speaker 3: The Sagan player was all over the place on the
Speaker 3: other side of the ruck and yeah, he's a he's
Speaker 3: a sitting duck for milking those penalties, and he tripped
Speaker 3: over him, and I think it's when he said what
Speaker 3: the fuck is that?
Speaker 1: Yeah, he wasn't saying what was that for?
Speaker 3: Not calling No, he was like the fact that this
Speaker 3: guy was rolling around in his side of the ruck.
Speaker 3: So yeah, but it did shut him up did it well?
Speaker 1: But they played well.
Speaker 3: Shit, they played well for seventy minutes that first half.
Speaker 3: I thought they played well. I thought we were into it,
Speaker 3: Like Adean Jones had Carma in the back of my
Speaker 3: head yelling at me.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah.
Speaker 3: And also like, I mean, the player of the day
Speaker 3: goes to the s African broadcaster for not playing the
Speaker 3: angle of the embongie knock on. Yep, they've saved that
Speaker 3: replay until the kickoff had been taken, yes, which means
Speaker 3: it's impossible to go back. Yeah, So good on them.
Speaker 3: Congratulations to them.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they did a great job. I gotta be honest.
Speaker 1: The spectacle of that game was fucking awesome.
Speaker 3: Like close to the crow, oh, the crowded right.
Speaker 1: On top of here, the eye level with the field
Speaker 1: as well. I feel that the field's like marginally raised
Speaker 1: or something. The stands rise vertically, so basically they've hung
Speaker 1: the gallery off the side of basically a vertical stand
Speaker 1: up all right on top of here. The flyover was sicked.
Speaker 1: There were like fireworks that went off. It was just incredible.
Speaker 1: It was such an atmosphere. And I was watching it
Speaker 1: with my missus yesterday and she was just like I've
Speaker 1: never seen a crowd this fired up for a rugby game.
Speaker 1: They would go on nuts.
Speaker 3: I fucking love it.
Speaker 1: They were going ape shit. There was a guy dressed
Speaker 1: up as Drick as dupless in the crowd. Did you
Speaker 1: see that? The camera zoomed in on the crowd and
Speaker 1: he's in there and he's shirtless with these like pit
Speaker 1: vipers and a fake UFC belt on. They were going
Speaker 1: ape shit. Man. They were chanting the whole way through
Speaker 1: the hacker.
Speaker 3: And what timing for the flyover in the middle of
Speaker 3: the hacker as well? Yeah, so drowned out the hacker
Speaker 3: they let five weeks off. They were singing some song.
Speaker 3: I don't know what song I was singing in the
Speaker 3: between the hacker, but they all Blacks say the first
Speaker 3: twenty minutes they were all over South Africa and then
Speaker 3: that last ten was very unal Blacks. That last ten
Speaker 3: we never dropped nuts in the last team, but we
Speaker 3: have done in the last few test matches we particularate against.
Speaker 1: Again. Yeah, I thought because I didn't look full disclosure,
Speaker 1: I did not set an alarm and watch this at
Speaker 1: three am. I watched it when I woke up on
Speaker 1: Sunday morning. I woke up, my breakfast for my messages,
Speaker 1: took it to church, came home, and then watched the replay.
Speaker 1: And I didn't do any of that, And when there
Speaker 1: was about fifteen minutes left to go, it's like, how
Speaker 1: the fuck do we lose this? Yeah? Like that it
Speaker 1: was twenty seven nineteen. I was like, we don't lose
Speaker 1: from here. But I knew the score, so I was like,
Speaker 1: this is wild. I'm interested to see how this comes about.
Speaker 1: And it just sort of it didn't happen in a
Speaker 1: blink of an eye. It just happened over time. You're like,
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you're like, hang on, are we losing?
Speaker 1: And then I felt like in our last five to
Speaker 1: ten minutes, we were still kicking the ball away when
Speaker 1: it was like we need to score a try.
Speaker 3: We also also turned down a penalty another three points
Speaker 3: to take it a step further away from them. When
Speaker 3: it was I think I was twenty seven to seventeen
Speaker 3: or yeah, we were up by ten, yeah, and we
Speaker 3: declined a pin. I was like, put it into the corner.
Speaker 3: I thought, come on, you know that's that's.
Speaker 1: A little bit almost arrogant. Yeah, you want to take
Speaker 1: the points because if it was a World Cup final,
Speaker 1: I think you would have taken the points. That's treat
Speaker 1: it like, yeah, the Bongi and Bunambi try, I don't.
Speaker 1: I mean, I know that a lot's been made of
Speaker 1: it on the highlights, and I think that the reason
Speaker 1: that's blown up is because a lot of people, because
Speaker 1: it was three am, didn't watch the game live. That
Speaker 1: was the first try that they scored, so yeah, there
Speaker 1: was still time for us to rictify it. That's not
Speaker 1: why we.
Speaker 3: Lost, no, No, But I mean, but it was a
Speaker 3: pretty glaring But boy.
Speaker 1: Did they bomb that call. And it's like I think
Speaker 1: that And again I was talking to a close personal
Speaker 1: friend of mine at the gym this morning and Jones
Speaker 1: on if you know, but he he was saying, let's
Speaker 1: just been the TMO. What's the point, Like, if you're
Speaker 1: going to stop down, go all over all of these
Speaker 1: replays and still get it wrong, didn't been it?
Speaker 3: Well, they stopped the replays, but they didn't show They
Speaker 3: didn't show the crowd. They didn't show that. No, they
Speaker 3: didn't show the replay that made it look really obvious.
Speaker 1: Yeah to anyone, Nah, because idea, say the crowd would
Speaker 1: have picked up on it.
Speaker 3: Oh well, even you could see you could actually see
Speaker 3: him when after he scores it, he doesn't celebrate. I
Speaker 3: don't know if you notice. He just puts his head
Speaker 3: down and his teammates come over and you know, given
Speaker 3: and they celebrate, and you could.
Speaker 1: Tell he was like, I did not I did not
Speaker 1: score that try.
Speaker 3: And then the guy in the tracks gave hold hold
Speaker 3: camera four, hold it, do not release the furge of
Speaker 3: camera four.
Speaker 1: And Tony Johnson even said that on the commentary as well.
Speaker 1: It was just like, they're not going to we won't
Speaker 1: see that replay again. Sure enough they didn't, but I like,
Speaker 1: I don't mind. I think it's even more egregious that
Speaker 1: you have all this technology and still they gave that.
Speaker 1: You know what I mean, because if you win and
Speaker 1: watched like a senior BS game down at your local club,
Speaker 1: those tries get given all the time, and only the
Speaker 1: dude and the good lord above knows that he didn't
Speaker 1: score that try. Yeah, so, and that doesn't heard as
Speaker 1: much as they have all of the different available angles
Speaker 1: and they still sucked it up. That that's harder to stomach.
Speaker 1: But having said all of that, like I said before,
Speaker 1: we still had plenty of time to turn that one around.
Speaker 1: And also I do feel a little bit of vindication
Speaker 1: for saying on Friday that I didn't think we're going
Speaker 1: to win this game. It's not something I like to
Speaker 1: be right about, but I like to be right. Fourteen
Speaker 1: to five penalty count, which is ridiculous, and the offer
Speaker 1: song of fussy binning was probably the one of the
Speaker 1: biggest turning points on it. As soon as you're down
Speaker 1: to fourteen men against the box.
Speaker 3: Well, either reason why his nickname is off of the field, it's.
Speaker 1: The position he plays as well, you know, like you
Speaker 1: fuck all you can do. You're a big bastard. You're
Speaker 1: about he's about six foot four, I know.
Speaker 3: And getting down to do any sort of Yeah, he's
Speaker 3: always going to get He's always in trouble.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So look, we play them again? What next weekend? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Back this weekend, this weekend, back to back and Cape
Speaker 3: Town yeap?
Speaker 1: How do we go Sea Level? Do you reckon? Ah?
Speaker 3: I will take the next one. I think I'll take
Speaker 3: confidence from that and say, hey, we had them for
Speaker 3: seventy minutes of that game. Yeah, And I think so
Speaker 3: thef'll be like, oh shit, these guys can play.
Speaker 1: If Ian Foster was still the coach, would we be
Speaker 1: calling for his head after that game?
Speaker 3: Absolutely? Knock it off, mob it off.
Speaker 1: Speaking of big calls over the weekend, the Warriors. They
Speaker 1: won against the Sharks thirty to twenty eight, and in
Speaker 1: the end it was a Shawn Johnson masterclass. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: be honest. I called this game with Dihendrid on Saturday,
Speaker 1: and the Sharks ran in three tries just before halftime.
Speaker 3: I went to bed. Yeah, I was loving your call.
Speaker 1: I was.
Speaker 3: I was enjoying it. But it was late and it
Speaker 3: was twenty points to six or twenty points to four
Speaker 3: or whatever four and I went to bed. I did
Speaker 3: when we scored that first try. Admittedly I jumped on
Speaker 3: the bandwagon. I chucked twenty on the Warriors to win.
Speaker 3: I was like, these guys are on and then bang
Speaker 3: bang bang try to try try and I was like
Speaker 3: a bigger and the only way I knew when in
Speaker 3: the morning didn't even look at the results. I looked
Speaker 3: at my tab account and I was like, dang.
Speaker 1: What happened? What happened here?
Speaker 3: Is that a refund? And then I was like, Warriors
Speaker 3: win by one to twelve. I was like, yeah, beauty.
Speaker 1: Yeah it was. I'm gonna be honest, this is this
Speaker 1: will probably be the most unpatriotic thing I say today.
Speaker 1: I didn't, not that I didn't care, but I saw
Speaker 1: everyone was so jazzed about that when yesterday they're like, oh,
Speaker 1: worries there one.
Speaker 3: I think it was more an ESJ scened off. It
Speaker 3: was more for Shawnee Jay, Like if it wasn't his
Speaker 3: last game, I don't think there would have been the
Speaker 3: level of jazz no about it and fizz because it
Speaker 3: was the fact that he's pretty much shut up the
Speaker 3: victory his last game. That was what that was about.
Speaker 1: Didn't appreciate. Everyone had the same take on social media.
Speaker 1: It was like, oh, the script was in beautiful script.
Speaker 1: I was like, no, the script script grand final. The
Speaker 1: script is it finishing fourteenth and not having a chance
Speaker 1: of making the eighth for the last month and a half.
Speaker 1: You know, but yes, if it was going to be
Speaker 1: his last game, then you know you could do worse
Speaker 1: than setting up three tries two line breaks essentially winning
Speaker 1: us the game single handedly. Did you see his wife
Speaker 1: sign in the crowd?
Speaker 3: Yes? I can still play with Sean John.
Speaker 1: I can still play with Seawan Johnson. Then I saw
Speaker 1: on his Instagram he posted a screenshot. She texted him
Speaker 1: and said, hey, can you set up in the spare room.
Speaker 1: I'm spreading out tonight. So that just goes to show
Speaker 1: even if you're Shawn Johnson and you single handedly win
Speaker 1: the Warrior is a game, and your last well.
Speaker 3: Let's just let's just be thankful as his wife holding
Speaker 3: that sign up, as opposed to if it was some
Speaker 3: random you'd be like, you've thrown down with Sewan and
Speaker 3: you know what, have.
Speaker 1: You been watching any of the Paralympics across the weekend.
Speaker 1: We're on the we're on the board, three medals on
Speaker 1: the board.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll be honest with you, a bit over Olympics,
Speaker 3: So I have not really dipped into this.
Speaker 1: They should They should run them concurrently, which is where
Speaker 1: Pairer came from. It's supposed to run parallel with the Olympics.
Speaker 1: But you're right, it's it's so draining watching the Olympics
Speaker 1: that eventually you're like, I don't know if I can
Speaker 1: do much more.
Speaker 3: I'm also quite confused about how they categorize the you know,
Speaker 3: like if someone's disabled with whether with which appendage, and
Speaker 3: then there's the mentally impaired, and you know what I mean,
Speaker 3: it's all going on. I don't understand how you can
Speaker 3: put someone with no legs against someone with no arms. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it's like, how do they what's the algorithm that they
Speaker 3: use to put those people in the different classes? I'm
Speaker 3: waiting through something here that I shouldn't be.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm going to steal you away from this one
Speaker 1: as well before we start speculating as to how they're
Speaker 1: doing that. Anna Taylor she won silver in the woman's
Speaker 1: C four three thousand meter individual pursuit. Daniel Edgson's sprinter
Speaker 1: she won silver and the woman's two hundred meters, and
Speaker 1: then Nicole Murray she got bronze and the woman's three
Speaker 1: thousand meter individual pursuit. So we're on the board two
Speaker 1: silvers in one bronze so far in this campaign already.
Speaker 1: But the one that caught my eye across the weekend
Speaker 1: was the Iranians sit downolleyball player. Have you seen this?
Speaker 4: So?
Speaker 1: Have you seen the sit down volleyballs? So it's for
Speaker 1: it's a great level for people who, like you're saying before,
Speaker 1: like if you don't have movement of your legs, maybe
Speaker 1: you don't have your legs. It makes a lot of sense.
Speaker 1: You're all sitting down, and so you basically more or
Speaker 1: less stuck where you are, and then the nets lower
Speaker 1: as well. The Iranians have a player who goes by
Speaker 1: the name of Mouzad. He is the second tallest man
Speaker 1: in the world and he plays sit down volleyball. He
Speaker 1: is the seventh tallest human in recorded history. He is
Speaker 1: eight foot two inches tall and he plays volleyball sitting down.
Speaker 1: He can hit a ball that is six foot four
Speaker 1: inches or one hundred and ninety five centimeters in the
Speaker 1: air from a seated position. I don't think I could
Speaker 1: reach that standing up.
Speaker 3: Is he normally in a chair in a wheelchair?
Speaker 1: Well, that's a very interesting question. So he grew to
Speaker 1: the freakish height of eight feet two inches tall because
Speaker 1: of an overactive petuitary gland when he's a kid, in
Speaker 1: going through his growth spurt, his bike broke his pelvis
Speaker 1: and the rest of his body kept growing except for
Speaker 1: the league on the broken side. And so he's got
Speaker 1: one leg that's about a foot shorter than the other one. Wow,
Speaker 1: So he can't really walk. So that's why he's into
Speaker 1: the seated.
Speaker 3: Volleyball so he can spike seated, Oh fuck you, and
Speaker 3: they sit him right up the front of the net.
Speaker 1: Can you imagine going to the Paralympics for sit down
Speaker 1: volleyball and you park up opposite a guy who is
Speaker 1: eight feet two inches?
Speaker 3: All that's like that for that footage of that under
Speaker 3: sixteen women's basketball tournament and that Chinese athlete. Oh yes
Speaker 3: it and it was just insane.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like, as long as the net is the same
Speaker 1: heighth in this volleyball game where you don't stand a chance,
Speaker 1: it should come as no surprise then. Since his debut
Speaker 1: in twenty sixteen, Iran have won two Parallembic Golds, the
Speaker 1: only two that were available, and two successive World titles,
Speaker 1: the only two that were available. He is three times
Speaker 1: the Player of the Year and sit down volleyball. Can
Speaker 1: you imagine coming up against that guy rotal Ah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've also I've caught a glimpse of that. I
Speaker 3: don't know what it's a special name for it enough
Speaker 3: forgoting what it is, but it's that kind of like.
Speaker 1: Bowls butcher butcher. Yeah, yeah, yeah, this is the one
Speaker 1: where they they've got like a ramp and they let
Speaker 1: go of the ball, right, but.
Speaker 3: They can throw it as well. Yeah, right, but they
Speaker 3: don't rightly roll. They kind of almost like giant hecky sets.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, that one's quite good. It's just
Speaker 1: it's just all tactics at that point.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I watched a guy used today with no arms shoot
Speaker 1: the smack being in the middle of the target on
Speaker 1: the archery range. I think he won gold. It was like,
Speaker 1: did send. It could not have been any more central.
Speaker 1: I watched him do it. I still don't know how.
Speaker 1: I don't know how he was holding it. I don't
Speaker 1: know how he let go, what was what he was
Speaker 1: holding the string with? And he fucking acete it Jesus Christ.
Speaker 1: And then they zoom out and show you how far
Speaker 1: it is and it's like thirty odd meters away. This
Speaker 1: thing is ridiculous. So yeah, I've been. I've been. I've
Speaker 1: been enjoying the few bits of the Paralympics that I've
Speaker 1: seen thus far. I reckon, they should get that bloken
Speaker 1: at the a foot one dude in a wheelchair and
Speaker 1: one get him on the basketball court, get him on
Speaker 1: the old medible. He might be the first guy in
Speaker 1: a wheelchair to dunk at a foot one right, Let's

Speaker 4: it because we're better anyway? It's like, yeah, you bet
Speaker 4: us in the final, but you guys take it home.
Speaker 1: That's yeah, we're just a bit of guys. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: they gave it to us. And also it's just a replica.
Speaker 3: Yeah, anyone who wins the World Cup gets a replica.
Speaker 1: They only get to hold it for two years. Come.
Speaker 1: I was saying, look, they the original, the actual original. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you should get it for all four. You should get
Speaker 1: it right up until you don't have it anymore.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they probably don't trust them. They're probably because three
Speaker 3: years out and be like you got their cap. Yeah,
Speaker 3: gives them a little bit of leeway if Eonny wins
Speaker 3: that wins a replica. So New Zealander got a few
Speaker 3: of them around. One of them's down in Wellington, one

Speaker 5: Good day boys, it's chris by cock Care. I've seen
Speaker 5: on the news this morning to New Zealand's yacht got
Speaker 5: dropped from its crane after their race this morning. Do
Speaker 5: you think that might be an inside job to tie
Speaker 5: into the billionaires yacht being hit by the Thorpino a
Speaker 5: couple of weeks ago?
Speaker 6: Anyway?
Speaker 4: Who wrote?
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, okay, so the conspiracy theory deepens.
Speaker 1: How does the what is it, AC seventy five, whatever
Speaker 1: it is, how does that tie into the whole thing?
Speaker 3: Well, they just dropped it onto its cradle.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it was just a crane driver. Who.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you've met any crane drivers, but
Speaker 1: they are prone to drop and shit every now and then.
Speaker 3: I think they got their own crane driver. They flew
Speaker 3: them over. It's just one job.
Speaker 1: Still a crane driver. Though there actually a crane driver
Speaker 1: on a plane, Still a crane driver. Crane driver in
Speaker 1: Barcelona is still a crane driver. And I've met a few.
Speaker 1: Did you see the footage of it? No, I haven't
Speaker 1: it wasn't like a massive drop from heights obviously, just
Speaker 1: like let it out too quick and it just it
Speaker 1: just took a square out of the hull there. I
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't think there'd be too much damaged
Speaker 1: to Also, the hull doesn't touch the water.
Speaker 3: They were up and racing the next day, and one
Speaker 3: I think didn't again that someone pulled out. The French
Speaker 3: pulled out straight away. But then they had a tight
Speaker 3: race against the US or something. But it's all a
Speaker 3: bit new kiss until the final race.
Speaker 1: Another cool here you hey.
Speaker 6: So when you become a citizen, here's what you gotta do.
Speaker 6: You want to jump off Facebook marketplace. You got to
Speaker 6: find the cheapest clapped commodore you can get. You buy
Speaker 6: that bitch. You jump in with all your boys in it,
Speaker 6: and you start heading down to Hamilton. Now you need
Speaker 6: to go to the mobile the middle of town, a
Speaker 6: couple of houses down to the tinny house. You go
Speaker 6: in there.
Speaker 1: You need to have a tinny.
Speaker 6: You start hitding back up to Awkland cock as a chick,
Speaker 6: pull over a dreary light, the back tires up to
Speaker 6: a massive burnout and then you get the car and pounded.
Speaker 6: Now that is how I to celebrate residency.
Speaker 3: I agree with all of that, except it's go to
Speaker 3: the VP and FIDE, not the mobile. Oh yeah, because
Speaker 3: that's just down the road from Fifthfield Bridge here, that's
Speaker 3: where all the light that's where you go.
Speaker 1: There.
Speaker 3: You put your car with petrol and you get a
Speaker 3: few liters of diesel from the other pump and then
Speaker 3: just cover the road in it and light it up.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a great idea. You have to do that.
Speaker 1: When I was younger, I drove from Waymany to Nelson
Speaker 1: and back on the same day or overnight. We were
Speaker 1: basically in the car the entire time to pick up
Speaker 1: a car from my mate's. Grande gave them the car,
Speaker 1: and as we were driving back, we stopped about halfway down.
Speaker 1: He goes, I think this thing's real, will drive and
Speaker 1: we're like, well, there's only one way to find out.
Speaker 1: So we took it to the gravel pit and he
Speaker 1: lit it up and as he spun around, he sprayed
Speaker 1: a machine gun wave of stones and it smashed both
Speaker 1: of the windows on one side of the other car
Speaker 1: that we drove down there. It was snowing, so we
Speaker 1: had to go the like inland route, like we couldn't
Speaker 1: go up the coast, the windows smashed windows, the sun setting.
Speaker 1: We're like, fuck it ow. So we pull into the
Speaker 1: nearest petrol station. We're like, we get like some cardboard
Speaker 1: boxes and some tape, and so we had to tape
Speaker 1: up both the passenger side window and the back window
Speaker 1: as well. So if we're good luck turn and left,
Speaker 1: the driver can't see sht out of the left and side.
Speaker 3: I remember I remember fondly growing up as a kid
Speaker 3: and going camping and to Kaha Waiha Bay on the
Speaker 3: east coast, and my friend's dad had a jipboat called
Speaker 3: the Green Machine, and we were swimming in the river
Speaker 3: and a pool in the river, and we could see
Speaker 3: him come honing up the river and he was trying
Speaker 3: to show off, and he did a mass of like
Speaker 3: you know, basy in a jip boat, quite shallow and
Speaker 3: brought the hoss around. But as he did it, he
Speaker 3: collected out the hole in the riverstones and just fo
Speaker 3: fired them out of the back while we will basically
Speaker 3: dive to the ground like Charlie Appam was grenade and
Speaker 3: we were.
Speaker 1: Like his ass, all right, guys, like fucking house got
Speaker 1: lit up, powerful stuff, all right, let's knock this thing
Speaker 1: on the head. Thank you very much for joining us
