So 34 00:01:35,293 --> 00:01:37,773 Speaker 2: I that was very REMISSI with me, Kevin. 35 00:01:37,813 --> 00:01:42,733 Speaker 3: I'm sorry that I can forgive you because cricket has 36 00:01:42,893 --> 00:01:45,973 Speaker 3: been absolutely astonishing, hasn't it ever the last few days, 37 00:01:46,253 --> 00:01:47,493 Speaker 3: particularly last night. 38 00:01:47,653 --> 00:01:49,933 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, last night was so good. I just know 39 00:01:49,973 --> 00:01:51,813 Speaker 2: it's so good. I mean, look, I'm the first to 40 00:01:51,853 --> 00:01:54,853 Speaker 2: bag tea twenties, you know. I just it feels, honestly, 41 00:01:54,853 --> 00:01:56,413 Speaker 2: it just feels like you're rolling the dice most of 42 00:01:56,453 --> 00:01:59,173 Speaker 2: the time for me. But they have given the record 43 00:01:59,293 --> 00:02:02,253 Speaker 2: coming into this competition, uh, and the pressure that was 44 00:02:02,293 --> 00:02:04,093 Speaker 2: on the White Ferns, and given how they have performed, 45 00:02:04,133 --> 00:02:06,293 Speaker 2: I just think I don't think it's incredible. So yeah, 46 00:02:06,493 --> 00:02:09,133 Speaker 2: and that last over from Susie Bates. My goodness, it 47 00:02:09,173 --> 00:02:12,853 Speaker 2: was exciting. So yes, lots to get excited about this weekend. 48 00:02:12,853 --> 00:02:15,213 Speaker 2: And you've had excitement in your week already, Kevin, you 49 00:02:15,333 --> 00:02:16,853 Speaker 2: saw the comet pass by. 50 00:02:17,653 --> 00:02:20,133 Speaker 3: I saw the comet. I saw the comet where our 51 00:02:20,133 --> 00:02:22,453 Speaker 3: house is in the perfect position. We looked straight out 52 00:02:22,493 --> 00:02:26,493 Speaker 3: and see straight to the western horizon. And so I've 53 00:02:26,533 --> 00:02:30,733 Speaker 3: been staring out that window most of the week, starting 54 00:02:30,813 --> 00:02:34,333 Speaker 3: from Wednesday on. And I saw the comment on Wednesday 55 00:02:34,733 --> 00:02:40,653 Speaker 3: which people have been saying. There's been warnings that it 56 00:02:40,693 --> 00:02:44,813 Speaker 3: may well have been the flight, the Auckland and christ 57 00:02:44,853 --> 00:02:48,813 Speaker 3: Church flight in New Zealand, and in the way, if 58 00:02:48,853 --> 00:02:51,453 Speaker 3: it was, it doesn't matter, because the thing is that 59 00:02:51,813 --> 00:02:54,173 Speaker 3: for me, seeing the comet, or what at least I 60 00:02:54,213 --> 00:02:57,773 Speaker 3: thought was the comet, filled me with awe. It gave 61 00:02:57,813 --> 00:03:00,293 Speaker 3: me much to think about. It's a comment that the 62 00:03:00,373 --> 00:03:03,613 Speaker 3: newspapers tell me hasn't been seen in our skies for 63 00:03:03,773 --> 00:03:08,533 Speaker 3: eighty thousand years. I don't know how anyone could have 64 00:03:08,613 --> 00:03:11,773 Speaker 3: seen it in our skies eighty thousand years ago. The 65 00:03:11,853 --> 00:03:14,773 Speaker 3: human history of New Zealand only dates back what seven 66 00:03:14,853 --> 00:03:18,333 Speaker 3: hundred years? There wouldn't have been anybody here to see it. 67 00:03:18,413 --> 00:03:22,853 Speaker 3: Maybe some animals or birds. Perhaps eighty thousand years. It's 68 00:03:22,893 --> 00:03:25,813 Speaker 3: a hell of a long time ago. The world's first 69 00:03:25,933 --> 00:03:30,493 Speaker 3: ever structures had only just been built by Homo Zabbians 70 00:03:30,933 --> 00:03:35,613 Speaker 3: in Africa. But what I found more consuming was looking ahead, 71 00:03:35,653 --> 00:03:39,853 Speaker 3: because other reports reckon comet twenty twenty three A three 72 00:03:40,333 --> 00:03:44,293 Speaker 3: won't be seen in our skies for another eighty thousand years. 73 00:03:44,493 --> 00:03:46,933 Speaker 3: I'm not sure if that's correct, actually, but it made 74 00:03:46,933 --> 00:03:50,093 Speaker 3: me consider how we're all going to be looking in 75 00:03:50,213 --> 00:03:54,813 Speaker 3: eighty thousand years. We're going to be dust. Jack, You 76 00:03:55,053 --> 00:03:58,933 Speaker 3: the handsome young guy, me the old guy, are finally 77 00:03:58,973 --> 00:04:04,933 Speaker 3: going to be looking the same, indistinguishable, just dust. If 78 00:04:04,973 --> 00:04:07,093 Speaker 3: you're miss seeing the comet this week, Jack, we can 79 00:04:07,173 --> 00:04:10,013 Speaker 3: say with a large degree of confidence you're not going 80 00:04:10,053 --> 00:04:13,333 Speaker 3: to see it next time. Then it went through my mind, 81 00:04:13,533 --> 00:04:16,773 Speaker 3: will there be anybody living in New Zealand to see 82 00:04:16,813 --> 00:04:19,933 Speaker 3: the comment in eighty thousand years time, in the year 83 00:04:20,093 --> 00:04:23,733 Speaker 3: eighty two and twenty four, will there be anybody still 84 00:04:23,813 --> 00:04:28,893 Speaker 3: living on this planet anywhere? I put all these huge 85 00:04:29,013 --> 00:04:33,773 Speaker 3: questions to Linda, my wife, but unbelievably, she was more 86 00:04:33,813 --> 00:04:38,453 Speaker 3: interested in whether Christian Cullen was going to win celebrity treasurala. 87 00:04:38,573 --> 00:04:41,893 Speaker 3: Sometimes Jack, I wonder how Linda and I have survived 88 00:04:42,013 --> 00:04:43,453 Speaker 3: forty six years of marriage. 89 00:04:43,453 --> 00:04:47,293 Speaker 2: It's probably precisely why you've survived forty six years of marriage, 90 00:04:47,333 --> 00:04:53,773 Speaker 2: I would think, given, yeah, ah, that is so special 91 00:04:53,813 --> 00:04:56,933 Speaker 2: that you saw it. It's funny, oh, how like there's 92 00:04:56,933 --> 00:04:59,053 Speaker 2: something primal in us, like when you have that a 93 00:04:59,133 --> 00:05:02,453 Speaker 2: little cosmic connection, like I just find it, honestly, you know, 94 00:05:02,493 --> 00:05:04,733 Speaker 2: because I spend so much time in cities. When I'm 95 00:05:04,733 --> 00:05:08,173 Speaker 2: out in the wilderness and I see star, I there's 96 00:05:08,173 --> 00:05:10,173 Speaker 2: something quite profound that happens. 97 00:05:10,173 --> 00:05:10,333 Speaker 3: You know. 98 00:05:10,373 --> 00:05:12,253 Speaker 2: There's that way you get that sense that you just 99 00:05:12,253 --> 00:05:13,773 Speaker 2: that you are just to speak of dust and the 100 00:05:13,773 --> 00:05:16,093 Speaker 2: context of the entire universe. You know, it's something there's 101 00:05:16,133 --> 00:05:20,093 Speaker 2: something really exactly, yeah, really really profound about that, And 102 00:05:20,133 --> 00:05:24,213 Speaker 2: honestly pound something profound about watching Christian Cullen on SBRI 103 00:05:24,253 --> 00:05:26,493 Speaker 2: and Truser Island as well. I loved it. I thought 104 00:05:26,493 --> 00:05:29,133 Speaker 2: he was he was the star for me, you know, 105 00:05:29,213 --> 00:05:30,133 Speaker 2: the way for. 106 00:05:30,053 --> 00:05:35,573 Speaker 3: Me too, the way that's quite slightly awkward kind of 107 00:05:35,613 --> 00:05:40,173 Speaker 3: guy apart from when he played the game, was going 108 00:05:40,213 --> 00:05:43,253 Speaker 3: to turn out to be the star, the lovely, lovely guy. 109 00:05:43,373 --> 00:05:45,693 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, but but not only that. I just loved 110 00:05:45,733 --> 00:05:48,973 Speaker 2: episode one when Michelle Langstone was so excited to be 111 00:05:49,093 --> 00:05:52,173 Speaker 2: camping and out and he was like, I hate I 112 00:05:52,213 --> 00:05:55,133 Speaker 2: hate camping, I hate sleeping around other people. I don't 113 00:05:55,133 --> 00:05:57,613 Speaker 2: really like the outdoors. And then you already say he said, 114 00:05:57,653 --> 00:06:00,933 Speaker 2: I haven't really done any exercise since I stopped playing 115 00:06:01,013 --> 00:06:06,293 Speaker 2: rugby years ago.
