Speaker 1: the Agenda Podcast for Tuesday, the sixteenth of July.
Speaker 2: The Agenda Podcast, the home of Sporting Nonsense and clap Trap,
Speaker 2: brought to you my nextport a Vulture.
Speaker 3: Good morning, mat Heath, take getting on on a Tuesday morning,
Speaker 3: Matte good thanks. I'm meaning to hold my little thing
Speaker 3: very gently to be able to hear this. Yeah, the
Speaker 3: old headphone jack and the I've got some jack problems here,
Speaker 3: the a sec big jack problems in the Export Beer
Speaker 3: Garden Studio we always have.
Speaker 1: That's a new mic stand just to take everyone. Oh,
Speaker 1: it's way less droopy, very god, it feels good. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but it can't all be right.
Speaker 3: No, it's either you can hear you can hear me now,
Speaker 3: but I can't hear you. It's yeah, yes, it's like
Speaker 3: a sea saw. Yeah, but we're all right. We can't okay,
Speaker 3: we can't have all ends on the floor at one time.
Speaker 3: I've got a question for you, Matt Heath. If you
Speaker 3: had just been shot, but had a tea time book
Speaker 3: that your local golf course tomorrow, would you still shut
Speaker 3: up and play golf in Auckland, Yes, yeah, I mean
Speaker 3: if I own my own golf course, they'd be different.
Speaker 3: But in Auckland's what happens when you shot through the ear? Yeah,
Speaker 3: through the right ear? Ye does that? That doesn't effect much?
Speaker 3: Does it? Does it throw your balance off? No? Like
Speaker 3: everything now the way, like, because I've been reading about
Speaker 3: this and there's like everything in America, there's a huge
Speaker 3: debate about whether he did because the first shot was
Speaker 3: put up was from a different time, and so every
Speaker 3: no one believes anything. No one can believe anything.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 1: I saw that because when I looked at it as well,
Speaker 1: the first headline was did Trump actually go and play golf?
Speaker 3: The day after? It's like, oh, I thought he definitely did. Yeah,
Speaker 3: Well nothing's nothing's real anymore. No one knows.
Speaker 4: So he's made.
Speaker 3: Everything so confusing that you can't even tell if he
Speaker 3: wouldn't play golf or not.
Speaker 4: No one knows. No one knows it all.
Speaker 3: But I mean, but I mean, like if you shot
Speaker 3: through the air, you can still do a lot or
Speaker 3: you know, I mean, like you know, any any closer
Speaker 3: and it wouldn't be good.
Speaker 4: But but I think he's still operational.
Speaker 3: I guess the thing is, are you supposed to go
Speaker 3: and see the peeps the person that did die?
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, oh that's a.
Speaker 1: Good boy with the family of the person that And
Speaker 1: they're like, I'll try out play golf today.
Speaker 3: But I think he's rustled up like three million for
Speaker 3: them or something Bucks rang them.
Speaker 4: It's so complicated.
Speaker 3: I want to delete all social media if I hadn't,
Speaker 3: if I didn't have to, because it's just like, it's
Speaker 3: just it will everything's unreal now. Fletcher and Nell he
Speaker 3: plays rugby every game. It looks like he's been shot
Speaker 3: in both ears so they can play rugby. I was
Speaker 3: went on to the rugby on Saturday and given me
Speaker 3: a Lamu was near me and he was telling a
Speaker 3: story about how he goes and helps kids. Now, like
Speaker 3: you'll peer for kids and then the kids will just
Speaker 3: go yep, he'll say this, but I'll go waw. Years
Speaker 3: will be the first question every time, and then the
Speaker 3: next question week can we play with them? And then
Speaker 3: his speeches to kids just end up with all the
Speaker 3: kids just squeezing as he is playing with weird saying
Speaker 3: with this weird it is because I suppose when did
Speaker 3: he retire?
Speaker 4: Would that have been ten years ago?
Speaker 3: Well he really maybe did he play in the twenty
Speaker 3: fifteen World Cup, but I don't think he did. Yeah
Speaker 3: he did, I think so, So that'll be ten years ago.
Speaker 3: Yeah's ten years ago. They got no memory of keivin
Speaker 3: me Alama. We're playing for the All Black. So there's
Speaker 3: just this guy that's come in with crazy years and
Speaker 3: they go, what happened to Thanks for your inspirational check?
Speaker 4: Can we play with your years? And he's gone and
Speaker 4: he goes one hundred tests for YEP, and they all
Speaker 4: come and play with his ears.
Speaker 3: What was your Your experience from the ground there at
Speaker 3: Eaton Park Watch in their game.
Speaker 4: Was it was pretty good? Yeah.
Speaker 3: I was sitting next to Kiaran Reid and so he
Speaker 3: was also funny years. He also funny years. But we
Speaker 3: were what miles miles back. But analysis from an ex
Speaker 3: All Black captain is high level compared to say, the
Speaker 3: guy to the right of me, it's Jimmy Wells. He
Speaker 3: was giving some poor analysis. But Kieran Read's eyesight, he'd
Speaker 3: like call call something from you know, like one hundred
Speaker 3: and thirty meters away. He could see exactly what was
Speaker 3: going on in call it. So it was pretty good.
Speaker 4: Experience.
Speaker 3: It's a pretty good, good understanding of the game. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I feel like we need a bit more of that
Speaker 3: on our TV screens because we always get these guys
Speaker 3: on and then they're not allowed to give actual analysis
Speaker 3: or anything. So well, just it's going to come down
Speaker 3: to who plays harder, who wants it more, who cares
Speaker 3: for the football little bit more. In defense, if you
Speaker 3: get full analysis from an all back captain, complete with
Speaker 3: Iffan and jeffin, it's pretty good. It's just a completely
Speaker 3: different game experience. Do you think it was still a
Speaker 3: little bit quiet and eaton Park. There's this weird thing
Speaker 3: that happens because you get so hyped up for the
Speaker 3: Harker and the game kind of dies down after that. Yeah,
Speaker 3: because the hype is so hard and the choir is
Speaker 3: singing the national anthem, great national ampstence with the choirs excellent.
Speaker 3: They sounded really powerful, and there is just that little
Speaker 3: bit where it just drops off a little bit when
Speaker 3: the game starts. It's is quite odd, and you don't
Speaker 3: get the league first hit up, no, which so you
Speaker 3: know when the Warriors start the first but it's always
Speaker 3: freaking exciting.
Speaker 1: Whoa and then yeah, in a rugby union game. It's
Speaker 1: often a knock on off the.
Speaker 3: Yeah off the well the week before when we were
Speaker 3: down in Dneda and that was weird because we were
Speaker 3: watching the league and then at the same time he
Speaker 3: was watching the rugby. Yeah, I will give Eden Park
Speaker 3: their credit where creditors due one of the all time
Speaker 3: Mexican waves.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that I've seen in a New Zealand rugby game. Yep,
Speaker 1: it was powerful. It took a couple of goals to
Speaker 1: get going.
Speaker 3: They're always like an old chainsaw, aren't there the Mexican wave.
Speaker 3: It takes a couple of rops before it finally burst
Speaker 3: into life. But when it finally did, it was wrapping
Speaker 3: around that stadium. I was a little bit more into
Speaker 3: it than anyone in my immediate sit although Ralph Lane
Speaker 3: was sitting two seats down from me and was it.
Speaker 4: He was very into it.
Speaker 3: So I Later on after the game, I was asked,
Speaker 3: do you want to see something in Eden Park that
Speaker 3: you've never seen before? And I was like yeah, And
Speaker 3: we were taken down into the bowels of Eden Park.
Speaker 4: Where ever headed someone No, but there was a secret room.
Speaker 3: By a black door of the most luxury bar you've
Speaker 3: ever seen. Oh, really, like just a secret bar.
Speaker 4: Are you allowed to be talking about this? I don't
Speaker 4: know if I'm allowed to mention it.
Speaker 3: It was called the black door, so you go through
Speaker 3: the black not the back door, the black door you
Speaker 3: go through and then it's just this beautiful, the most
Speaker 3: incredible bar.
Speaker 4: It looks like the kind of thing.
Speaker 3: You might see, you know, NBA players hanging it after
Speaker 3: the right and it's not far from the changing room.
Speaker 3: So I think it's a bar for absolute high ends
Speaker 3: of sporting elite kind of people, right and you and me?
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, so.
Speaker 1: What like I'm picturing NBA VIP Yeah, that kind of
Speaker 1: felt robes, bottles service, yeah, that kind of thing, yeah, yeah, dancers, Yeah,
Speaker 1: And I think it's about to announced to something that
Speaker 1: you can book for the high end, absolute right ultra.
Speaker 4: VIP experience. Yeah.
Speaker 3: But I just have to be standing beside Martin Guptal
Speaker 3: talking about something when when he got called to come down. Yes,
Speaker 3: so they said, I guess you can bring your little
Speaker 3: friend as well. There's an age old a sec tradition
Speaker 3: we were talking about this last weekend. We did that
Speaker 3: with Kieran Reid at the bar after the game and
Speaker 3: they were like, oh yeah, Kieren Reid can come in,
Speaker 3: and he goes everyone go, and then I'll go and
Speaker 3: last because they're not going to stop me from going
Speaker 3: to That's right.
Speaker 4: About eight of us went in there. Oh I was
Speaker 4: that down in Dunton.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, because I did the terrible thing of
Speaker 3: trying to you know, rustle us up getting in the bar.
Speaker 3: Quicker Bot Yeah, texting you know one of the guys
Speaker 3: that lay to the bar and he's like, nah, wait
Speaker 3: out the front.
Speaker 4: But I didn't mention Karen Read this. Well, it was
Speaker 4: the security guarden.
Speaker 1: I've mentioned this on the podcast, but it was the
Speaker 1: look in his eye of being like, on Monday morning,
Speaker 1: do I want to have to face my manager and
Speaker 1: tell him that I didn't let Kieran Read into the
Speaker 1: bar after the older ska, no, I'm going to have
Speaker 1: to let him in. And then Kieren checkmated him by
Speaker 1: being like, Okay, well here's my eight friends who was
Speaker 1: like me you Lane Joe, and then just like five
Speaker 1: other randoms.
Speaker 3: That joined the party were just there. Yeah, it's just
Speaker 3: the kind of guy he is. Yeah, And then he
Speaker 3: stood out in the freezing cold with us just because
Speaker 3: he wasn't willing to just be you know, it was
Speaker 3: the Titanic. He wasn't going to be the woman and
Speaker 3: children on the lifeboat. Yeah, that's right, and leaving us
Speaker 3: to drown. He stayed out there with us. So the speakeasy,
Speaker 3: he's going to be available to the public. Then, I think,
Speaker 3: like the flashes speakeasy you've ever seen, right, Like, yeah,
Speaker 3: I left the trade out. Surely we're going to just
Speaker 3: hang out with an international player, you know after the
Speaker 3: game just pissed them and then you can get in.
Speaker 1: Yeah, speaking of international players, A dear friend of ours
Speaker 1: has been on an all time junkeard.
Speaker 4: I want to take a quick air break.
Speaker 3: But when we come back, the latest from Richie mo
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, a dear friend of ours smtt Heith. We're
Speaker 3: hanging out with him and Danita and just recently Richie Mornga.
Speaker 3: Oh what a great man he is. I've been saying
Speaker 3: this to everyone because you know he was obviously I
Speaker 3: don't think I'm revealing anything to say that he was
Speaker 3: paid to be at the Expert Yeah pre party, pre
Speaker 3: game down there just last week a man was he
Speaker 3: chatting to everyone getting photos. He gets paid, Whether he's
Speaker 3: a really, really good guy that gives a lot of
Speaker 3: time to people or not. Yeah, that's done. You know,
Speaker 3: people were just happy to be in the in the
Speaker 3: area with them. Yeah, but he had time for so
Speaker 3: many punishers and there.
Speaker 1: Including us, well, we arguably were the biggest punisher. Y Absolutely,
Speaker 1: I punished him for the longest time. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: it was one of those on the guys are protecting
Speaker 1: him from other punishers. We were massively punishing him. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's right. You know, did I wake up the next
Speaker 1: morning and think shit? Probably oversheared with Richie there last night,
Speaker 1: you know, but you have these times, and you had
Speaker 1: great chats with Shannon Frazel as well. He was lovely
Speaker 1: chap as well.
Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely we swapt in our ol fantasy tips.
Speaker 1: But he's been on a hell of a junket since
Speaker 1: he's been over here. Obviously, he's just come back from Japan.
Speaker 1: He has another contract as contract's got two more years,
Speaker 1: so he can't play for the All Blacks. So he's
Speaker 1: just been over here basically on a junket doing absolutely.
Speaker 4: Whatever he feels like doing.
Speaker 3: He's hanging out with the city kickboxing dudes, Sonya and
Speaker 3: Dan Hooker and them.
Speaker 4: Oh yep, just hanging out, giving them a few tips.
Speaker 3: And now just for these last couple of days he's
Speaker 3: in camp with the State of origin of the New
Speaker 3: South Wales Blues, just to be what an inspirational figure,
Speaker 3: just an inspirational figure.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: They were interviewing him and they were like, what's your
Speaker 3: role here and he's like, oh, nothing, really, I'm just
Speaker 3: sort of here. It's been all very authentic and organic.
Speaker 3: He's just having chats with people when they ask.
Speaker 1: Him, how bloody good I know, what a ridiculous junket
Speaker 1: he's been on. It's hit the news the headlines though,
Speaker 1: because he said that when he was talking to the
Speaker 1: Blues team, he said, I was actually approached to join
Speaker 1: the Warriors in twenty eighteen and for the longest time,
Speaker 1: probably since twenty eighteen, I would say he has been
Speaker 1: the number one player that any league fan would poach
Speaker 1: from union to bring over to rugby league. Apparently it
Speaker 1: got as serious as him, his manager and Stephen Kearney
Speaker 1: getting in a room together wow and hashing it out.
Speaker 1: And the only reason he didn't do it was because
Speaker 1: of the World up in Japan twenty nineteen. Yeah, right,
Speaker 1: and so he said, Bagat, I want to go and
Speaker 1: play at the World Cup.
Speaker 3: So but he's got some years in them, could still happen.
Speaker 3: He's thirty, yeah, thirty this year, so finishes that has
Speaker 3: finishes his contract in two years. Yeah, so he's thirty two.
Speaker 3: I mean, what's Sean Johnson. Yeah, Sean John's about thirty six. Yeah,
Speaker 3: so you get four years at of Richie Wangan That
Speaker 3: was it.
Speaker 4: Was jeez, wouldn't turn it down.
Speaker 3: He actually is shaped like a league player, he is.
Speaker 3: He's got that league build. Yeah, sort of small study
Speaker 3: five to eleven type mastulation. Eyes that you can get
Speaker 3: lost in. Yeah, beautiful man, wonderful complexion, great lines on
Speaker 3: his beard. Oh trying to like, you know, shape shape
Speaker 3: to the beard. Yeah yeah, beautiful curls and here that
Speaker 3: stays wet all day.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you could just steer into those eyes all night.
Speaker 3: And we did, and we did a great expense to
Speaker 3: our friendship with him. But what a junket he's been on,
Speaker 3: just just flying around the world doing absolutely whatever he wants.
Speaker 3: Because that that Japanese tournament it's quite short, it's only
Speaker 3: like three months or something.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and so he what a life is loving. He's
Speaker 1: one of the highest reported two million dollar contract. I
Speaker 1: don't know if that's per year.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well going, you know, you know, when you're still
Speaker 3: in your prime, you know, you know, he could still
Speaker 3: be verse five for the All Blacks.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 3: That's so that's worth a lot of money, you know,
Speaker 3: one hundred percent. Yeah, so so good, Jenniferraze. He could
Speaker 3: be the number six for the All Blecks as well.
Speaker 4: Do you think so?
Speaker 1: The only swaying decision factor in his decision was that
Speaker 1: he wanted to play at the Rugby World Cup in Japan.
Speaker 1: If he knew then what he knows now that he
Speaker 1: would not only lose that World Cup but the following
Speaker 1: World Cup.
Speaker 3: Do you think it would have changed his mind? It's
Speaker 3: a great question. It could have showed a water cut
Speaker 3: a situation. Yeah, there's been some highs and lows of
Speaker 3: the Wahs as well.
Speaker 4: Though. He could have changed that. Yeah, that's right, he
Speaker 4: could have changed that. That's what we don't know.
Speaker 3: It's funny you say that the All Blecks lost the
Speaker 3: World Cup, but you don't say that the Warriors lost
Speaker 3: the NRL.
Speaker 4: Lost the NRL last year. You don't say you it's
Speaker 4: how good you do?
Speaker 1: They came second year because like I was saying last week,
Speaker 1: Shennan Frazzell said, basically our team was sort of like okay,
Speaker 1: and then Richie Moke came over and we won.
Speaker 4: Turned to Richie, dear friend of mine, I can get
Speaker 4: lost in here.
Speaker 1: That stays weird all day and said, when was the
Speaker 1: last time you played in a professional rugby camp that
Speaker 1: you didn't win? Like, if Richie and Wonga shows up
Speaker 1: to a rugby comp, he wins it. He said, oh
Speaker 1: the World Cup last year?
Speaker 4: Oh yeah. I was like, well, yeah, franchise. No, yeah,
Speaker 4: I'm saying franchise yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Speaking of international rugby, here's a fun fact for you.
Speaker 1: Australia currently have the longest active winning streak of any
Speaker 1: Tier one nation.
Speaker 3: Wow, well, okay opposition and how many games?
Speaker 5: Uh?
Speaker 4: Wales? Three times?
Speaker 3: Okay, so I think I think actually what happened is
Speaker 3: that did they win their last pool game last year
Speaker 3: and now they've turned around and beat Wales twice?
Speaker 6: Ah?
Speaker 3: Well, hang on a minute, so aren't we on three?
Speaker 6: No?
Speaker 4: Because we lost our last World Cup game?
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, of course, yeah, sorry, because you don't play
Speaker 3: another Yeah, yeah, you don't play another got them an idiot?
Speaker 3: So yeah, so we lost. Yeah, we lost the final.
Speaker 3: It's a mathematics thing where but they are on the
Speaker 3: longest winning streak of any Tier one nation as.
Speaker 4: They are back. The Wallabes are back. They've just lost
Speaker 4: two of the best players the rugby league. But would
Speaker 4: you would it be fair to say that rugby's back
Speaker 4: in Australia.
Speaker 3: I can believe they've lost all their best players to
Speaker 3: rugby league forever in AFL.
Speaker 4: And switching tacked now.
Speaker 1: The Sales GP yesterday were saying how amazing a weekend
Speaker 1: it was to be Spanish. The Spaniards were still racing
Speaker 1: when we recorded the podcast yesterday. They went on to
Speaker 1: win it in the final over there in San Diego.
Speaker 1: We not only do we lose to them, we actually
Speaker 1: ended up coming third.
Speaker 3: Yeah overall, and the we missed out on a three
Speaker 3: point two million dollar page Chicken.
Speaker 1: I New Zealand one in christ Church when we were there, Yeah,
Speaker 1: there was talk.
Speaker 3: Of sending us over to San Diego to cover the
Speaker 3: final as well.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: What happened with that talk, I don't know it was
Speaker 3: there was strong loud talk, yeah, and not just by us, no,
Speaker 3: other people suggested there were people at because we did
Speaker 3: such good coverage and Littleton.
Speaker 4: People at sale GP that we're like, look we.
Speaker 3: Did all singing, all dancing coverage down there. We gave
Speaker 3: it a hundid. They were like, look, we'd love to
Speaker 3: have you over there. At San Diego said we would
Speaker 3: love to come. And then just crickets, nothing, nothing, And
Speaker 3: now we floated up upstream and and people like what no,
Speaker 3: not those guys.
Speaker 4: They were awful. Didn't they bring the dolphins in?
Speaker 1: They're the ones that brought the dolphins in, so we
Speaker 1: didn't get sent over there, and then the Blackfoils lose.
Speaker 3: Is that a coincidence? Not a coincident at all. No,
Speaker 3: I mean Glane is a he's a massive curse to
Speaker 3: everyone except for in yachting. He's actually never been to
Speaker 3: he never supported a yachting regatta that hasn't won.
Speaker 4: That's a good.
Speaker 3: Point, is that technically part of the g Lane curse
Speaker 3: when he's supporting his like a New Zealand team in
Speaker 3: New Zealand. Well, one thing that we do know about
Speaker 3: the g Lane curse is it doesn't and that all
Speaker 3: of New Zealand is all blacks home territory. So he
Speaker 3: can fly away to Dunedin for example, and that doesn't
Speaker 3: cause the All Blacks to lose. Yes, flies over seas
Speaker 3: to see them, it does. Yeah, it's kind of complicated
Speaker 3: as home the home all of New Zealand is home
Speaker 3: home to the All Blacks.
Speaker 4: So potentially is that why they didn't send him over there?
Speaker 4: They heard about the curse?
Speaker 3: Maybe, yeah, we can't, so we needed to actually go
Speaker 3: through the actual tenants of the curse.
Speaker 4: Yeah. And in Olympics news, Olympics is very very close.
Speaker 1: I actually believe the torch is in Paris and it's
Speaker 1: making its way around Paris. There's still so many stories
Speaker 1: about the.
Speaker 4: Quality of the sin River. Did you see Yeah? Was
Speaker 4: it the Prime Minister the mirror of parwis swimming in
Speaker 4: the thing? Did you see this? Right? Is that a she?
Speaker 3: It's a she because I saw a documentary and some
Speaker 3: sharks came up the scene because the Mirror of Paris
Speaker 3: wouldn't shut down the triathlon that was going there, and
Speaker 3: the sharks rang a random muck. Yeah, with the triathletes
Speaker 3: in the water. No, I know, I had in Wild's
Speaker 3: a little bit worried about that as well. But no, No,
Speaker 3: they did a bit of a pr stunt and they
Speaker 3: went down and swum in the in the sin Rivet.
Speaker 4: It proved that there's no poos in there. Anyway, I digress.
Speaker 1: The point I'm trying to get to is Sammy Maxwell,
Speaker 1: she is one of our mountain bikers. Yeah, she was
Speaker 1: snubbed for Olympic selection despite the fact that she actually
Speaker 1: met all the criterias in terms of she won the
Speaker 1: right races, she was fast enough. And then New Zealand
Speaker 1: Cycling said, nah, she can't go because she's got an
Speaker 1: eating disorder.
Speaker 4: They didn't check it at all.
Speaker 3: They didn't ask her if she's still She has had
Speaker 3: one in the past, but this wasn't based on any
Speaker 3: report or any They didn't ask her about anything.
Speaker 1: And my only thing to New Zealand Cycling is like,
Speaker 1: she's not going over to beat Joe Chess that on
Speaker 1: the fourth of July. Can she ride the bike real fast?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 3: That's what her personal Life's got nothing to do with you,
Speaker 3: No who cares with you. But by the way, have
Speaker 3: you looked at what any professional athlete, you'd be like,
Speaker 3: they've all got eating this definitely, yeah, one hundred percent. Yeah,
Speaker 3: that seems freaking crap azy. Would you deny Arnold Swarzenegger
Speaker 3: the chance to compete for his fifteenth Mister Olympia because
Speaker 3: they've been eating too much chicken breast, chicken breast and
Speaker 3: brown rice. Yeah, that's an eating disorder, right there, Come
Speaker 3: on New Zealand cycling. I just think it's absolutely terrifying
Speaker 3: to me how late they're leaving the run for all
Speaker 3: of these sports to be decided. Yeah, it's crazy. The
Speaker 3: shit starts in like two weeks. Yeah, I'm so excited.
Speaker 3: I love an Olympics. Yeah, what's your favorite one to watch?
Speaker 3: She Sai's a good question. I mean, obviously you get
Speaker 3: most excited about the you know, the ters. I mean
Speaker 3: that's the one that really builds you up. But every
Speaker 3: year you get surprised by what you're into. Yeah, I
Speaker 3: do get into the diving.
Speaker 4: Got a lot of time. I've got a lot of
Speaker 4: time for whatever's on.
Speaker 1: Really, yes, I know this is the same thing for me,
Speaker 1: because whatever's on, you sit down and you end up
Speaker 1: watching it. Yeah, and you're like, I know nothing about
Speaker 1: Olympic weightlifting. Yeah, then within half an hour someone else
Speaker 1: could walk into the room. You're like, right, this means that,
Speaker 1: this means that's now this guy dropped this one on
Speaker 1: the first one, so this means he's got the second
Speaker 1: chance you come back and win it. This way, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's you're become an expert in everything, which is which is,
Speaker 1: which is great, and then you never and you just
Speaker 1: really freaking care and then you never think about it again.
Speaker 1: I find Olympic not just because I'm the Kei Wei,
Speaker 1: but I find Olympic growing really tense. I guess maybe
Speaker 1: this way I like it because it's generally a key
Speaker 1: we involved. You know, you jump on board, but the
Speaker 1: key we involved.
Speaker 3: If the key's got a chance of winning, and then
Speaker 3: whatever the sport is, it doesn't freaking matter what the
Speaker 3: sport is, you freaking care.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think one of my favorite parts of the Olympics
Speaker 1: is just exactly sitting down at a pub and trying
Speaker 1: to figure out what it is the sport that you're watching.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you've ever watched the Winter Olympics
Speaker 1: with Lee Heart, but it is one of the the
Speaker 1: hardest I've ever laughed, sitting at a pub and having
Speaker 1: him try to explain what he thinks is going on
Speaker 1: on the TV. He was like watching the you know,
Speaker 1: the luge, and there's like one man. He's facing backwards,
Speaker 1: then he's facing forwards. Now there's two guys.
Speaker 3: The double luge is the double means louge is quite something, Yeah,
Speaker 3: because do it on tops, not doing much by leaning
Speaker 3: a little bit. I mean he's just ballast. You know,
Speaker 3: you do that with a mannequin. Also, I don't know,
Speaker 3: it's an od sport to get into. I think if
Speaker 3: it would be better if it was face to face
Speaker 3: well and mixed. Yeah, Lee was wondering if it shouldn't
Speaker 3: be sixty nine where one person's facing down and steering
Speaker 3: and the other person's leaning back and sort of like
Speaker 3: if that's a competitive advantage into it. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 3: and just just live with the consequences.
Speaker 4: I think you're going to have to. And but I
Speaker 4: mean any of it.
Speaker 3: You don't see nude double louge, do you?
Speaker 4: Not often?
Speaker 3: No, But you know, like people get pretty nudy and
Speaker 3: some sports, yes, But yeah, I just wonder if they
Speaker 3: found out there was an advantage of being nude doing it,
Speaker 3: whether they do it, I think it's like the sharkskin
Speaker 3: suits they had. Yeah, in the pool, there's actually an
Speaker 3: aerodynamic advantage to wearing the old Kathy Freeman on.
Speaker 4: The on the ice skating.
Speaker 1: A lot of people have been asking if we're going
Speaker 1: to commentate the Olympics, and each one of those people
Speaker 1: I've said the same thing, what's event?
Speaker 4: Because there are millions of events?
Speaker 1: And are you going to get up at one in
Speaker 1: the morning towards the badminton qualifiers?
Speaker 3: If we commentate it, we will commentate the whole of
Speaker 3: the Olympics. Well we would if it was up to us, Yeah,
Speaker 3: we would ae haelndred percent, we'd be all over it.
Speaker 1: But it'd be like when Glane commentated the black Caps
Speaker 1: versus Uganda at two thirty in the morning.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, there's been non orgent.
Speaker 3: What's the deal with the sevens?
Speaker 4: Like? Are we looking good? Are we? Oh? What's happening there?
Speaker 3: I'm gonna be honest, And what it was there four
Speaker 3: years ago?
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, no three because they had to delay that.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, it's going to say Jesus Christ
Speaker 3: if that was four years ago, Tree is pretty bad.
Speaker 4: That's what seems like.
Speaker 3: It's some round some ruby, Tilley and the crew wrapped
Speaker 3: in a new one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, as far as I'm aware, we're still dominating every
Speaker 1: other week.
Speaker 4: We hear that we're in the final. I think our
Speaker 4: men lost the last final and the woman one.
Speaker 3: But I think anytime you show up at the Olympics,
Speaker 3: unless you've got Sunny Bill and your team, you're probably
Speaker 3: a good chance of winning. When he jumped ship to
Speaker 3: try and get himself an Olympic gold, yeah we crashed out.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so yeah, a little bit disappointed by I'm also
Speaker 4: looking forward to that.
Speaker 1: I think what we're actually going to do is just
Speaker 1: give you a recap on this podcast every morning.
Speaker 4: Yeah, let's do that.
Speaker 3: Let's let's not spoil anything by making any predictions, no,
Speaker 3: because they will inevitably Ye. Let's just learn the names
Speaker 3: of the players and remember them for the rest of
Speaker 3: our lives. Once they once they they bring home the glory,
Speaker 3: the quiest for bronze.
Speaker 4: Yeah, care we gold.
Speaker 1: We're going to take one more quick break when we
Speaker 1: come back. We've got your feedback on yours Please, yours.
Speaker 2: Please brought you by home the top.
Speaker 1: Your chance to get involved in the podcast by hitting
Speaker 1: the microphone button and the bottom right hand corner of
Speaker 1: your iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 4: When you do that, you.
Speaker 3: Have thirty seconds to record a message, just like this
Speaker 3: person here has caller, yourles, please good a fence.
Speaker 5: I'd love to know the t's and.
Speaker 7: Seas of betting on the kids, betting.
Speaker 4: On the babies, nappies, bottles, tantrums, how many night fees?
Speaker 3: How crazy it's.
Speaker 7: Going to drive me?
Speaker 3: You do love to know all the same game multis
Speaker 3: and anything you guys can make happen.
Speaker 7: Yep, I'll get amongst it.
Speaker 1: So last week we had a caller caller and say
Speaker 1: that he liked to gamble on him and his wife
Speaker 1: liked to gamble on whether the baby had a full
Speaker 1: nappy or not. They just gambling between them. Lane said
Speaker 1: that he started to introduce a little bit of gambling
Speaker 1: with his kids. Unfortunately, now it means that because he's
Speaker 1: giving them prices for how far they can hit a
Speaker 1: put on the golf course, and so now there's trying
Speaker 1: to hit the furthest part that they can. Yeah, right,
Speaker 1: they try and win the biggest amount of money. But
Speaker 1: as as a father of two, have you ever run
Speaker 1: any gambling odds on your on your kids?
Speaker 3: Wow, that's not I have not, actually, and I think
Speaker 3: I've missed because you know, like when you have a
Speaker 3: punt on a on a sporting fixture. It makes everything
Speaker 3: a lot more exciting. Yes, so maybe it would have
Speaker 3: like you know, god, I could have not even just
Speaker 3: a birthing sweep steak or I guess you could put
Speaker 3: money on overs and unders when the kid's gonna start
Speaker 3: screaming and wake you up, and if you win, you
Speaker 3: don't have to get up. That would be a great
Speaker 3: way to do it, even if Yeah, so whoever's closest
Speaker 3: gets to stay down. Yeah, yeah, because or either either way,
Speaker 3: it would just be good to if you wake up
Speaker 3: in the middle of the night, you can at least
Speaker 3: check your phone and have that fun moment of like,
Speaker 3: oh yeah, yeah, and I'll be going straight back I
Speaker 3: get Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, no, I didn't do that.
Speaker 3: I feel now my kids are getting big now it's
Speaker 3: hard to bet on what they do. Never bought a
Speaker 3: bet on any of their sporting activities. Oh well, because
Speaker 3: it's already the most terrifying thing in the world watching
Speaker 3: your kid bat or bowl at cricket. Yeah, is so
Speaker 3: freaking terrifying, just because you know how much it means
Speaker 3: to them, and you know the repercussions.
Speaker 4: You know, like it's more to see them.
Speaker 3: Yeah, or if they bowl two wides in a row,
Speaker 3: and then you see them starting to eat themselves alive.
Speaker 3: If you're seeing them get the yips in real time,
Speaker 3: that's hard for a dad to watch. Yeah, and then
Speaker 3: it's it's not vicarious, no, it's just them. Yeah, because
Speaker 3: you know, I'm so crap that. You know, my eldest
Speaker 3: son was better than me at sport by the time
Speaker 3: he was like thirteen at all sports bybby earlier. But
Speaker 3: it's just you know what they're going to go through.
Speaker 3: So if I had a punt on that as well,
Speaker 3: I wouldn't be able to handle the pressure.
Speaker 4: That's what I'm thinking.
Speaker 1: You watch your son capitulate out there on the cricket
Speaker 1: pitch and then Mike Lane comes over and goes, oh,
Speaker 1: and I'll have that twenty bucks off your thanks because
Speaker 1: your son just so happy.
Speaker 3: Gelie, I had wide next ball for your son three
Speaker 3: words in a row.
Speaker 1: The thing is the way the game it would be.
Speaker 1: Mike Lane would were one hundred percent bet against his kids.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, so.
Speaker 3: You could fix it really easily because he'd want happiness
Speaker 3: assurance for how annoyty you'd be if they did well.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and how much they'd rub it in on him.
Speaker 1: It would be deflating as a kid to come home
Speaker 1: having just missed out on a representative sporting team and
Speaker 1: just be like, oh, look, mama missed the team.
Speaker 3: And then she's like, oh, I'm sorry to hear that,
Speaker 3: and then slides your dad twenty bucks.
Speaker 4: I told you.
Speaker 3: I told you he was not going to make that
Speaker 3: heavily against Yeah, those other six kids have just hit puberty.
Speaker 3: There's no way he's making the basketball team right now.
Speaker 3: I beat you twenty bucks. He doesn't make this team.
Speaker 3: There's been no recovering from that. I think it has
Speaker 3: to be while there's still babies you have to bet on,
Speaker 3: like yeah, could you could actually be like yeah, as
Speaker 3: their babies? I think because like in that situation, you
Speaker 3: got inside knowledge you could not beat them breakfast, and
Speaker 3: then you know, there's a lot of things you could do.
Speaker 4: To affect the outcome.
Speaker 3: Arrive late, you know, like you know, put the wrong
Speaker 3: sized pads in the get bag.
Speaker 1: You've seen the left all of their gear outside and
Speaker 1: it's about to rain, but you don't say anything, yeah,
Speaker 1: because you've got twenty bucks riding on it.
Speaker 3: You take the NSLs out of their footy boots, heavily
Speaker 3: against them.
Speaker 4: That is real degenerate parenting.
Speaker 1: But yeah, if that's triggered anyone else, any other markets
Speaker 1: that you'd like to open up on gambling on children
Speaker 1: would happily be the home of child gambling. Here at
Speaker 1: the a SEC, we've got no problem with another call
Speaker 1: here yours please yeah.
Speaker 4: Good a boys.
Speaker 6: Firstly, if lee Hart does make it bug over in
Speaker 6: Europe with the chip game and buys a super yacht,
Speaker 6: don't step foot on it. I went for a company
Speaker 6: that Solomon's Jet skared a deal three years ago and
Speaker 6: we still haven't seen it back for its first service. Secondly,
Speaker 6: I have heard rumors that Quartez Rattima has or could
Speaker 6: bench one hundred and fifty kilos coming out of Hamilton.
Speaker 6: Boys High and just on that note, cheers boys, riscause love.
Speaker 3: Love, bless you courties. How good well?
Speaker 4: I was saying this yesterday on the podcast.
Speaker 3: As soon as he came on my missus and then
Speaker 3: subsequently subsequently Lauren from out of the office, who I
Speaker 3: was sitting with, they both who's that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's hot? Yeah? Changed everything.
Speaker 3: Obviously, we don't stand for sexually objectifying people on the
Speaker 3: sports field Here at the ac so we never would
Speaker 3: do that, would never bring any kind of sexual anawly's
Speaker 3: listen to our coverage, Never have and never would.
Speaker 4: But I just thought it was interesting.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I've seen I've seen Lee hard out
Speaker 3: on that jet ski. Oh you have, I've seen him
Speaker 3: out there. Yeah, he keeps it up at the Echo Lodge.
Speaker 4: All right, that's still going yeah right.
Speaker 3: I think, like a lot of things Lee does, he
Speaker 3: does it for a bit and then he finds the
Speaker 3: reason why he doesn't want to do it and goes
Speaker 3: to the pub.
Speaker 4: On what kind of we're talking about Richie Monger's junket before?
Speaker 4: What kind of junk it is? Leon?
Speaker 3: We were saying this yesterday, like, hey, the snack changing Halftimes.
Speaker 1: First week it's from Mexico. This week it was from Croatia.
Speaker 1: Just yesterday it seemed that he was in Spain. Yeah,
Speaker 1: for the Euro's Final?
Speaker 4: What is he up there? Do you know?
Speaker 3: He took us kids over there for a bit. But
Speaker 3: they might be back. I'm not I'm not I'm not
Speaker 3: really really.
Speaker 4: Sure he's gambling on them. I don't know.
Speaker 3: He just seems that, yeah, maybe he has to see
Speaker 3: how long they could handle keep up with their dad's drinking.
Speaker 3: I don't know, but I think he's doing quite well
Speaker 3: off the big chap. It seems like he's doing quite well.
Speaker 3: I think he's the kind of guy that can just
Speaker 3: stay in Europe and luxury accommodation for as long as
Speaker 3: he freaking wants.
Speaker 4: Yeah, a man of leisure about too.
Speaker 3: I'm happy to have him on board as the sponsor,
Speaker 3: one of the sponsors of the ACC one Final Call
Speaker 3: of yours space.
Speaker 5: Yeah you get o Fellers, how you cheers for sitting
Speaker 5: out that white fan's cricket bat that you put out
Speaker 5: the Dems. I was pretty surprised to receive that in
Speaker 5: the male full size cricket bat with all the ladies'
Speaker 5: names slightly.
Speaker 7: Jet gave it to my daughter who is also a
Speaker 7: big fan. And for white fans, we've got a few tests,
Speaker 7: men's tests, and then we've got a few domessic games
Speaker 7: and white fans games, and she would also like to
Speaker 7: say something to.
Speaker 4: Thank you for the cricket and fu South Canbury.
Speaker 3: Ah, that is that is so good? Oh that was
Speaker 3: so wholesome. I was tearing up with the wholesomeness. And
Speaker 3: then that fuck South Canteribar at the end. That is
Speaker 3: the perfect I think it's reached its peak. Is that
Speaker 3: time to shut down the US?
Speaker 4: Please?
Speaker 3: I mean that is Can anyone now do that that
Speaker 3: was a false flag at the start.
Speaker 1: I had no idea whether message was going from the
Speaker 1: start where he's like, thank you for sending the thing
Speaker 1: that I've got my daughter here, and then to be
Speaker 1: zoo with the fuck South Canterbury.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I felt for you when we were down in Dunedin
Speaker 3: apart and there was people getting around. There's a lot
Speaker 3: of fucks South Canterbury and and you said something to me,
Speaker 3: and you know, we joke around a lot, but I
Speaker 3: saw a real hurt in your life and you go.
Speaker 3: So the thing I'm going to be known for is
Speaker 3: fuck South Canterbury. Like the thing it just swirls around me, you.
Speaker 4: Know, just just just.
Speaker 3: Really shitting on my own home, you know, my home turf. Well, yeah,
Speaker 3: there's a couple of things on this one. You don't
Speaker 3: get to choose there, that's the thing. You don't get
Speaker 3: to choose what blows up. The people have spoken, Yeah,
Speaker 3: and it's fuck South Canterbery.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 1: The second part that I really hate is that everybody
Speaker 1: that's seeing it on social media doesn't listen to the podcast,
Speaker 1: doesn't know what it's about.
Speaker 3: They think it's coming from me. Yeah, that I'm saying
Speaker 3: fuck South Canterbury.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: And the third part is the more I complain about it,
Speaker 3: the more that comes in. Oh yeah, there's no way
Speaker 3: out for you. But even if you're not complaining about it,
Speaker 3: people know. Yeah, people know that. People know that it's
Speaker 3: cutting through. Uh yeah.
Speaker 1: And the only solution that I've come up with is,
Speaker 1: I don't know, if you saw the mock up of
Speaker 1: the jerseys that someone wanted to make the fuck South
Speaker 1: Canterbury Social Club Yeah yeah, is shorting the market by
Speaker 1: selling those jerseys to anyone who's playing against South Canterbury
Speaker 1: and the Heartland and then using the money to fund
Speaker 1: South Canterbury to fly up to compete for the Shield
Speaker 1: next year.
Speaker 3: That's brilliant. Yeah, that's brilliant. I think that's the only
Speaker 3: solution here.
Speaker 4: Yeah, there you go.
Speaker 3: That's that's complicated. Three D cheers you're playing there. I
Speaker 3: think to have a small child yelling fuck South Canterbury
Speaker 3: at me for a voicemail on a podcasts simultaneously the
Speaker 3: highest and lowest point of my broadcasting career. Well, I
Speaker 3: think I told you over a few beers that you know,
Speaker 3: I campaigned really hard to get a TV show on
Speaker 3: TVNZ many many years ago and finally got there, and
Speaker 3: I wasn't nobody from duned and got this TV show
Speaker 3: and was it rated really well on its first night.
Speaker 3: But I had this joke and at one joke in
Speaker 3: it where I was going up to people saying, eat
Speaker 3: my shit and drink my purse and I'll give you
Speaker 3: five bucks.
Speaker 4: It was just just a little joke, so it was
Speaker 4: like pretending to be.
Speaker 3: It was called a Danny dearsy bit and so like
Speaker 3: immediately have some six says. But all that happens is
Speaker 3: wherever I go, eat my shirt, drink my purse, as
Speaker 3: all the people you know to be at a full show,
Speaker 3: just one little joke, eat my drink. And then so
Speaker 3: everywhere I went people were just yelling at me that,
Speaker 3: and I was thinking, as you said, you don't get
Speaker 3: to choose it, and why do you expect it won't
Speaker 3: be quite as good as you'd hope. Yeah, well, I
Speaker 3: think we'll knock it on the head for today. This
Speaker 3: has been a bo As I said, a simultaneous high
Speaker 3: and low in my broadcasting career. Thank you very much
Speaker 3: for joining us, Matt Heath, Eat my shirt, Drink my purse.
