Yeah, the 0:00:24.200 --> 0:00:26.920 old headphone jack and the I've got some jack problems here, 0:00:27.000 --> 0:00:29.560 the a sec big jack problems in the Export Beer 0:00:29.600 --> 0:00:31.000 Garden Studio we always have. 0:00:31.320 --> 0:00:33.720 That's a new mic stand just to take everyone. Oh, 0:00:33.800 --> 0:00:36.800 it's way less droopy, very god, it feels good. Yeah, 0:00:36.840 --> 0:00:37.880 but it can't all be right. 0:00:38.000 --> 0:00:41.600 No, it's either you can hear you can hear me now, 0:00:41.600 --> 0:00:44.559 but I can't hear you. It's yeah, yes, it's like 0:00:44.600 --> 0:00:46.920 a sea saw. Yeah, but we're all right. We can't okay, 0:00:47.000 --> 0:00:48.640 we can't have all ends on the floor at one time. 0:00:49.080 --> 0:00:51.600 I've got a question for you, Matt Heath. If you 0:00:51.680 --> 0:00:54.360 had just been shot, but had a tea time book 0:00:54.400 --> 0:00:56.600 that your local golf course tomorrow, would you still shut 0:00:56.720 --> 0:01:00.840 up and play golf in Auckland, Yes, yeah, I mean 0:01:00.880 --> 0:01:02.960 if I own my own golf course, they'd be different. 0:01:03.680 --> 0:01:07.240 But in Auckland's what happens when you shot through the ear? Yeah, 0:01:07.280 --> 0:01:11.960 through the right ear? Ye does that? That doesn't effect much? 0:01:12.000 --> 0:01:15.120 Does it? Does it throw your balance off? No? Like 0:01:15.200 --> 0:01:17.360 everything now the way, like, because I've been reading about 0:01:17.360 --> 0:01:19.759 this and there's like everything in America, there's a huge 0:01:19.800 --> 0:01:23.120 debate about whether he did because the first shot was 0:01:23.160 --> 0:01:26.200 put up was from a different time, and so every 0:01:26.319 --> 0:01:28.720 no one believes anything. No one can believe anything. 0:01:28.760 --> 0:01:28.960 Now. 0:01:29.160 --> 0:01:31.000 I saw that because when I looked at it as well, 0:01:31.040 --> 0:01:33.960 the first headline was did Trump actually go and play golf? 0:01:34.000 --> 0:01:37.279 The day after? It's like, oh, I thought he definitely did. Yeah, 0:01:37.319 --> 0:01:39.800 Well nothing's nothing's real anymore. No one knows. 0:01:39.920 --> 0:01:40.600 So he's made. 0:01:40.440 --> 0:01:42.880 Everything so confusing that you can't even tell if he 0:01:42.920 --> 0:01:43.920 wouldn't play golf or not. 0:01:44.080 --> 0:01:46.880 No one knows. No one knows it all. 0:01:47.040 --> 0:01:49.520 But I mean, but I mean, like if you shot 0:01:49.880 --> 0:01:52.800 through the air, you can still do a lot or 0:01:52.880 --> 0:01:55.040 you know, I mean, like you know, any any closer 0:01:55.080 --> 0:01:55.920 and it wouldn't be good. 0:01:56.000 --> 0:01:58.360 But but I think he's still operational. 0:01:58.640 --> 0:02:00.200 I guess the thing is, are you supposed to go 0:02:00.240 --> 0:02:03.480 and see the peeps the person that did die? 0:02:04.560 --> 0:02:07.120 Oh yeah, oh that's a. 0:02:07.080 --> 0:02:10.040 Good boy with the family of the person that And 0:02:10.080 --> 0:02:12.040 they're like, I'll try out play golf today. 0:02:12.040 --> 0:02:13.720 But I think he's rustled up like three million for 0:02:13.760 --> 0:02:16.800 them or something Bucks rang them. 0:02:17.000 --> 0:02:18.320 It's so complicated. 0:02:19.120 --> 0:02:21.320 I want to delete all social media if I hadn't, 0:02:21.320 --> 0:02:22.960 if I didn't have to, because it's just like, it's 0:02:23.000 --> 0:02:27.560 just it will everything's unreal now. Fletcher and Nell he 0:02:27.600 --> 0:02:30.120 plays rugby every game. It looks like he's been shot 0:02:30.120 --> 0:02:35.560 in both ears so they can play rugby. I was 0:02:35.720 --> 0:02:37.720 went on to the rugby on Saturday and given me 0:02:37.760 --> 0:02:41.720 a Lamu was near me and he was telling a 0:02:41.720 --> 0:02:44.560 story about how he goes and helps kids. Now, like 0:02:44.600 --> 0:02:46.200 you'll peer for kids and then the kids will just 0:02:46.240 --> 0:02:49.320 go yep, he'll say this, but I'll go waw. Years 0:02:49.360 --> 0:02:51.280 will be the first question every time, and then the 0:02:51.320 --> 0:02:53.480 next question week can we play with them? And then 0:02:53.560 --> 0:02:56.000 his speeches to kids just end up with all the 0:02:56.080 --> 0:02:59.240 kids just squeezing as he is playing with weird saying 0:02:59.240 --> 0:03:01.240 with this weird it is because I suppose when did 0:03:01.240 --> 0:03:01.640 he retire? 0:03:01.639 --> 0:03:02.880 Would that have been ten years ago? 0:03:04.040 --> 0:03:06.320 Well he really maybe did he play in the twenty 0:03:06.360 --> 0:03:08.119 fifteen World Cup, but I don't think he did. Yeah 0:03:08.200 --> 0:03:10.799 he did, I think so, So that'll be ten years ago. 0:03:10.880 --> 0:03:13.680 Yeah's ten years ago. They got no memory of keivin 0:03:13.720 --> 0:03:15.560 me Alama. We're playing for the All Black. So there's 0:03:15.560 --> 0:03:17.640 just this guy that's come in with crazy years and 0:03:17.680 --> 0:03:19.960 they go, what happened to Thanks for your inspirational check? 0:03:20.000 --> 0:03:21.480 Can we play with your years? And he's gone and 0:03:21.520 --> 0:03:24.480 he goes one hundred tests for YEP, and they all 0:03:24.480 --> 0:03:25.480 come and play with his ears. 0:03:25.520 --> 0:03:27.880 What was your Your experience from the ground there at 0:03:27.880 --> 0:03:29.200 Eaton Park Watch in their game. 0:03:29.880 --> 0:03:31.560 Was it was pretty good? Yeah. 0:03:32.240 --> 0:03:36.040 I was sitting next to Kiaran Reid and so he 0:03:36.200 --> 0:03:39.880 was also funny years. He also funny years. But we 0:03:39.880 --> 0:03:43.120 were what miles miles back. But analysis from an ex 0:03:43.160 --> 0:03:45.400 All Black captain is high level compared to say, the 0:03:45.440 --> 0:03:47.000 guy to the right of me, it's Jimmy Wells. He 0:03:47.120 --> 0:03:51.280 was giving some poor analysis. But Kieran Read's eyesight, he'd 0:03:51.360 --> 0:03:55.320 like call call something from you know, like one hundred 0:03:55.320 --> 0:03:57.240 and thirty meters away. He could see exactly what was 0:03:57.280 --> 0:04:00.720 going on in call it. So it was pretty good. 0:04:00.720 --> 0:04:01.040 Experience. 0:04:01.080 --> 0:04:05.080 It's a pretty good, good understanding of the game. Yeah, 0:04:05.120 --> 0:04:06.280 I feel like we need a bit more of that 0:04:06.360 --> 0:04:08.280 on our TV screens because we always get these guys 0:04:08.280 --> 0:04:12.280 on and then they're not allowed to give actual analysis 0:04:12.360 --> 0:04:14.560 or anything. So well, just it's going to come down 0:04:14.560 --> 0:04:16.520 to who plays harder, who wants it more, who cares 0:04:16.520 --> 0:04:18.760 for the football little bit more. In defense, if you 0:04:18.839 --> 0:04:22.479 get full analysis from an all back captain, complete with 0:04:22.600 --> 0:04:26.800 Iffan and jeffin, it's pretty good. It's just a completely 0:04:26.839 --> 0:04:28.720 different game experience. Do you think it was still a 0:04:28.720 --> 0:04:32.000 little bit quiet and eaton Park. There's this weird thing 0:04:32.000 --> 0:04:35.599 that happens because you get so hyped up for the 0:04:35.640 --> 0:04:41.000 Harker and the game kind of dies down after that. Yeah, 0:04:41.000 --> 0:04:42.960 because the hype is so hard and the choir is 0:04:43.000 --> 0:04:46.600 singing the national anthem, great national ampstence with the choirs excellent. 0:04:46.720 --> 0:04:49.320 They sounded really powerful, and there is just that little 0:04:49.320 --> 0:04:51.000 bit where it just drops off a little bit when 0:04:51.000 --> 0:04:52.840 the game starts. It's is quite odd, and you don't 0:04:52.880 --> 0:04:57.359 get the league first hit up, no, which so you 0:04:57.400 --> 0:04:59.599 know when the Warriors start the first but it's always 0:04:59.640 --> 0:05:00.800 freaking exciting. 0:05:00.800 --> 0:05:04.400 Whoa and then yeah, in a rugby union game. It's 0:05:04.440 --> 0:05:05.640 often a knock on off the. 0:05:06.000 --> 0:05:08.640 Yeah off the well the week before when we were 0:05:08.640 --> 0:05:10.120 down in Dneda and that was weird because we were 0:05:10.120 --> 0:05:13.200 watching the league and then at the same time he 0:05:13.279 --> 0:05:16.760 was watching the rugby. Yeah, I will give Eden Park 0:05:16.839 --> 0:05:19.719 their credit where creditors due one of the all time 0:05:19.760 --> 0:05:20.520 Mexican waves. 0:05:20.680 --> 0:05:22.960 Yeah, that I've seen in a New Zealand rugby game. Yep, 0:05:23.160 --> 0:05:25.760 it was powerful. It took a couple of goals to 0:05:25.800 --> 0:05:26.080 get going. 0:05:26.120 --> 0:05:29.080 They're always like an old chainsaw, aren't there the Mexican wave. 0:05:29.120 --> 0:05:30.960 It takes a couple of rops before it finally burst 0:05:31.000 --> 0:05:33.560 into life. But when it finally did, it was wrapping 0:05:33.600 --> 0:05:36.279 around that stadium. I was a little bit more into 0:05:36.279 --> 0:05:39.520 it than anyone in my immediate sit although Ralph Lane 0:05:39.600 --> 0:05:42.000 was sitting two seats down from me and was it. 0:05:42.000 --> 0:05:42.920 He was very into it. 0:05:43.040 --> 0:05:49.400 So I Later on after the game, I was asked, 0:05:49.400 --> 0:05:51.039 do you want to see something in Eden Park that 0:05:51.040 --> 0:05:54.039 you've never seen before? And I was like yeah, And 0:05:54.080 --> 0:05:56.840 we were taken down into the bowels of Eden Park. 0:05:56.640 --> 0:05:59.799 Where ever headed someone No, but there was a secret room. 0:05:59.720 --> 0:06:02.479 By a black door of the most luxury bar you've 0:06:02.760 --> 0:06:06.040 ever seen. Oh, really, like just a secret bar. 0:06:06.279 --> 0:06:07.920 Are you allowed to be talking about this?

Probably oversheared with Richie there last night, 0:09:33.880 --> 0:09:36.160 you know, but you have these times, and you had 0:09:36.160 --> 0:09:38.000 great chats with Shannon Frazel as well. He was lovely 0:09:38.080 --> 0:09:38.600 chap as well. 0:09:38.679 --> 0:09:41.440 Yeah, definitely we swapt in our ol fantasy tips. 0:09:41.720 --> 0:09:44.520 But he's been on a hell of a junket since 0:09:44.520 --> 0:09:47.000 he's been over here. Obviously, he's just come back from Japan. 0:09:47.920 --> 0:09:51.120 He has another contract as contract's got two more years, 0:09:51.120 --> 0:09:53.400 so he can't play for the All Blacks. So he's 0:09:53.400 --> 0:09:56.480 just been over here basically on a junket doing absolutely. 0:09:56.240 --> 0:09:57.400 Whatever he feels like doing. 0:09:57.559 --> 0:10:00.840 He's hanging out with the city kickboxing dudes, Sonya and 0:10:00.920 --> 0:10:01.679 Dan Hooker and them. 0:10:01.679 --> 0:10:04.480 Oh yep, just hanging out, giving them a few tips. 0:10:04.679 --> 0:10:07.319 And now just for these last couple of days he's 0:10:07.360 --> 0:10:09.520 in camp with the State of origin of the New 0:10:09.559 --> 0:10:13.040 South Wales Blues, just to be what an inspirational figure, 0:10:13.160 --> 0:10:14.199 just an inspirational figure. 0:10:14.240 --> 0:10:14.400 Yeah. 0:10:14.400 --> 0:10:16.320 They were interviewing him and they were like, what's your 0:10:16.400 --> 0:10:18.840 role here and he's like, oh, nothing, really, I'm just 0:10:18.840 --> 0:10:21.480 sort of here. It's been all very authentic and organic. 0:10:21.559 --> 0:10:23.800 He's just having chats with people when they ask. 0:10:23.679 --> 0:10:26.760 Him, how bloody good I know, what a ridiculous junket 0:10:26.760 --> 0:10:29.400 he's been on. It's hit the news the headlines though, 0:10:29.440 --> 0:10:32.439 because he said that when he was talking to the 0:10:32.440 --> 0:10:35.880 Blues team, he said, I was actually approached to join 0:10:35.880 --> 0:10:38.760 the Warriors in twenty eighteen and for the longest time, 0:10:38.920 --> 0:10:41.240 probably since twenty eighteen, I would say he has been 0:10:41.240 --> 0:10:44.280 the number one player that any league fan would poach 0:10:44.360 --> 0:10:48.720 from union to bring over to rugby league. Apparently it 0:10:48.760 --> 0:10:53.800 got as serious as him, his manager and Stephen Kearney 0:10:54.000 --> 0:10:56.680 getting in a room together wow and hashing it out. 0:10:57.000 --> 0:10:59.400 And the only reason he didn't do it was because 0:10:59.440 --> 0:11:02.480 of the World up in Japan twenty nineteen. Yeah, right, 0:11:02.559 --> 0:11:03.960 and so he said, Bagat, I want to go and 0:11:04.000 --> 0:11:05.240 play at the World Cup. 0:11:05.400 --> 0:11:07.520 So but he's got some years in them, could still happen. 0:11:07.640 --> 0:11:10.800 He's thirty, yeah, thirty this year, so finishes that has 0:11:11.960 --> 0:11:15.280 finishes his contract in two years. Yeah, so he's thirty two. 0:11:15.400 --> 0:11:18.520 I mean, what's Sean Johnson. Yeah, Sean John's about thirty six. Yeah, 0:11:18.640 --> 0:11:20.480 so you get four years at of Richie Wangan That 0:11:20.760 --> 0:11:21.040 was it. 0:11:21.400 --> 0:11:23.040 Was jeez, wouldn't turn it down. 0:11:23.200 --> 0:11:26.120 He actually is shaped like a league player, he is. 0:11:26.240 --> 0:11:29.320 He's got that league build. Yeah, sort of small study 0:11:29.320 --> 0:11:32.000 five to eleven type mastulation. Eyes that you can get 0:11:32.040 --> 0:11:36.679 lost in. Yeah, beautiful man, wonderful complexion, great lines on 0:11:36.679 --> 0:11:41.640 his beard. Oh trying to like, you know, shape shape 0:11:41.640 --> 0:11:44.840 to the beard. Yeah yeah, beautiful curls and here that 0:11:44.880 --> 0:11:46.200 stays wet all day. 0:11:47.520 --> 0:11:47.800 Yeah. 0:11:48.320 --> 0:11:51.080 Yeah, you could just steer into those eyes all night. 0:11:51.160 --> 0:11:53.480 And we did, and we did a great expense to 0:11:53.520 --> 0:11:55.920 our friendship with him. But what a junket he's been on, 0:11:56.160 --> 0:11:58.640 just just flying around the world doing absolutely whatever he wants. 0:11:58.679 --> 0:12:03.440 Because that that Japanese tournament it's quite short, it's only 0:12:03.480 --> 0:12:04.440 like three months or something. 0:12:04.600 --> 0:12:08.160 Yeah, and so he what a life is loving. He's 0:12:08.200 --> 0:12:11.160 one of the highest reported two million dollar contract. I 0:12:11.200 --> 0:12:12.280 don't know if that's per year. 0:12:12.640 --> 0:12:16.080 Yeah, well going, you know, you know, when you're still 0:12:16.080 --> 0:12:19.560 in your prime, you know, you know, he could still 0:12:19.600 --> 0:12:20.920 be verse five for the All Blacks. 0:12:20.920 --> 0:12:21.080 You know. 0:12:21.360 --> 0:12:23.440 That's so that's worth a lot of money, you know, 0:12:23.520 --> 0:12:26.679 one hundred percent. Yeah, so so good, Jenniferraze. He could 0:12:26.679 --> 0:12:29.400 be the number six for the All Blecks as well. 0:12:29.559 --> 0:12:30.559 Do you think so? 0:12:30.600 --> 0:12:34.000 The only swaying decision factor in his decision was that 0:12:34.040 --> 0:12:35.960 he wanted to play at the Rugby World Cup in Japan. 0:12:37.000 --> 0:12:39.439 If he knew then what he knows now that he 0:12:39.480 --> 0:12:42.520 would not only lose that World Cup but the following 0:12:42.520 --> 0:12:43.040 World Cup. 0:12:43.440 --> 0:12:46.120 Do you think it would have changed his mind? It's 0:12:46.160 --> 0:12:49.440 a great question. It could have showed a water cut 0:12:49.480 --> 0:12:52.720 a situation. Yeah, there's been some highs and lows of 0:12:52.720 --> 0:12:53.439 the Wahs as well. 0:12:53.480 --> 0:12:56.600 Though. He could have changed that. Yeah, that's right, he 0:12:56.640 --> 0:12:58.160 could have changed that. That's what we don't know. 0:12:58.200 --> 0:13:00.120 It's funny you say that the All Blecks lost the 0:13:00.120 --> 0:13:02.600 World Cup, but you don't say that the Warriors lost 0:13:02.640 --> 0:13:03.800 the NRL. 0:13:03.520 --> 0:13:06.960 Lost the NRL last year. You don't say you it's 0:13:06.960 --> 0:13:07.679 how good you do? 0:13:07.760 --> 0:13:10.120 They came second year because like I was saying last week, 0:13:10.120 --> 0:13:13.800 Shennan Frazzell said, basically our team was sort of like okay, 0:13:13.920 --> 0:13:15.600 and then Richie Moke came over and we won. 0:13:16.360 --> 0:13:18.880 Turned to Richie, dear friend of mine, I can get 0:13:18.880 --> 0:13:19.320 lost in here. 0:13:19.360 --> 0:13:21.959 That stays weird all day and said, when was the 0:13:22.000 --> 0:13:23.880 last time you played in a professional rugby camp that 0:13:23.960 --> 0:13:26.319 you didn't win? Like, if Richie and Wonga shows up 0:13:26.520 --> 0:13:29.000 to a rugby comp, he wins it. He said, oh 0:13:29.200 --> 0:13:30.319 the World Cup last year? 0:13:30.400 --> 0:13:34.320 Oh yeah. I was like, well, yeah, franchise. No, yeah, 0:13:34.640 --> 0:13:35.760 I'm saying franchise yeah. 0:13:35.800 --> 0:13:35.959 Yeah. 0:13:36.320 --> 0:13:39.680 Speaking of international rugby, here's a fun fact for you. 0:13:40.200 --> 0:13:44.199 Australia currently have the longest active winning streak of any 0:13:44.280 --> 0:13:45.120 Tier one nation. 0:13:46.480 --> 0:13:49.760 Wow, well, okay opposition and how many games? 0:13:50.000 --> 0:13:50.120 Uh? 0:13:50.280 --> 0:13:51.400 Wales? Three times? 0:13:53.679 --> 0:13:56.760 Okay, so I think I think actually what happened is 0:13:56.800 --> 0:13:59.000 that did they win their last pool game last year 0:13:59.000 --> 0:14:00.960 and now they've turned around and beat Wales twice? 0:14:01.000 --> 0:14:01.160 Ah? 0:14:01.600 --> 0:14:03.679 Well, hang on a minute, so aren't we on three? 0:14:04.640 --> 0:14:04.679 No? 0:14:04.840 --> 0:14:06.880 Because we lost our last World Cup game? 0:14:07.440 --> 0:14:09.719 Yeah yeah, of course, yeah, sorry, because you don't play 0:14:09.760 --> 0:14:12.880 another Yeah, yeah, you don't play another got them an idiot? 0:14:13.000 --> 0:14:15.680 So yeah, so we lost. Yeah, we lost the final. 0:14:15.760 --> 0:14:18.959 It's a mathematics thing where but they are on the 0:14:19.000 --> 0:14:21.280 longest winning streak of any Tier one nation as. 0:14:22.160 --> 0:14:26.840 They are back. The Wallabes are back. They've just lost 0:14:26.840 --> 0:14:28.640 two of the best players the rugby league. But would 0:14:28.640 --> 0:14:30.240 you would it be fair to say that rugby's back 0:14:30.480 --> 0:14:31.040 in Australia. 0:14:31.040 --> 0:14:32.760 I can believe they've lost all their best players to 0:14:32.800 --> 0:14:35.840 rugby league forever in AFL. 0:14:36.720 --> 0:14:38.640 And switching tacked now. 0:14:38.960 --> 0:14:42.040 The Sales GP yesterday were saying how amazing a weekend 0:14:42.120 --> 0:14:46.200 it was to be Spanish. The Spaniards were still racing 0:14:46.200 --> 0:14:48.320 when we recorded the podcast yesterday. They went on to 0:14:48.360 --> 0:14:51.000 win it in the final over there in San Diego. 0:14:51.480 --> 0:14:53.960 We not only do we lose to them, we actually 0:14:54.040 --> 0:14:55.000 ended up coming third. 0:14:55.280 --> 0:14:58.880 Yeah overall, and the we missed out on a three 0:14:58.880 --> 0:15:00.600 point two million dollar page Chicken. 0:15:02.720 --> 0:15:07.320 I New Zealand one in christ Church when we were there, Yeah, 0:15:07.840 --> 0:15:08.680 there was talk. 0:15:08.520 --> 0:15:10.760 Of sending us over to San Diego to cover the 0:15:10.760 --> 0:15:11.480 final as well. 0:15:11.600 --> 0:15:11.840 Yeah. 0:15:11.840 --> 0:15:14.040 What happened with that talk, I don't know it was 0:15:14.120 --> 0:15:17.920 there was strong loud talk, yeah, and not just by us, no, 0:15:18.080 --> 0:15:20.520 other people suggested there were people at because we did 0:15:20.560 --> 0:15:22.840 such good coverage and Littleton. 0:15:22.880 --> 0:15:24.800 People at sale GP that we're like, look we. 0:15:24.840 --> 0:15:27.080 Did all singing, all dancing coverage down there. We gave 0:15:27.080 --> 0:15:29.720 it a hundid. They were like, look, we'd love to 0:15:29.720 --> 0:15:31.400 have you over there. At San Diego said we would 0:15:31.400 --> 0:15:34.760 love to come. And then just crickets, nothing, nothing, And 0:15:34.840 --> 0:15:38.200 now we floated up upstream and and people like what no, 0:15:38.280 --> 0:15:39.119 not those guys. 0:15:40.640 --> 0:15:42.680 They were awful. Didn't they bring the dolphins in? 0:15:44.440 --> 0:15:47.600 They're the ones that brought the dolphins in, so we 0:15:47.640 --> 0:15:51.080 didn't get sent over there, and then the Blackfoils lose. 0:15:52.080 --> 0:15:54.400 Is that a coincidence? Not a coincident at all. No, 0:15:54.560 --> 0:15:58.320 I mean Glane is a he's a massive curse to 0:15:58.400 --> 0:16:02.000 everyone except for in yachting. He's actually never been to 0:16:02.400 --> 0:16:05.840 he never supported a yachting regatta that hasn't won. 0:16:06.800 --> 0:16:07.520 That's a good. 0:16:07.320 --> 0:16:09.680 Point, is that technically part of the g Lane curse 0:16:09.680 --> 0:16:13.320 when he's supporting his like a New Zealand team in 0:16:13.360 --> 0:16:15.120 New Zealand. Well, one thing that we do know about 0:16:15.120 --> 0:16:18.320 the g Lane curse is it doesn't and that all 0:16:18.560 --> 0:16:22.240 of New Zealand is all blacks home territory. So he 0:16:22.280 --> 0:16:25.800 can fly away to Dunedin for example, and that doesn't 0:16:25.800 --> 0:16:28.600 cause the All Blacks to lose. Yes, flies over seas 0:16:28.680 --> 0:16:30.880 to see them, it does. Yeah, it's kind of complicated 0:16:30.880 --> 0:16:33.720 as home the home all of New Zealand is home 0:16:33.800 --> 0:16:34.840 home to the All Blacks. 0:16:34.840 --> 0:16:38.040 So potentially is that why they didn't send him over there? 0:16:38.080 --> 0:16:39.000 They heard about the curse? 0:16:39.200 --> 0:16:41.600 Maybe, yeah, we can't, so we needed to actually go 0:16:41.680 --> 0:16:43.280 through the actual tenants of the curse. 0:16:43.400 --> 0:16:47.360 Yeah. And in Olympics news, Olympics is very very close. 0:16:47.440 --> 0:16:49.400 I actually believe the torch is in Paris and it's 0:16:49.440 --> 0:16:53.520 making its way around Paris. There's still so many stories 0:16:53.560 --> 0:16:55.280 about the. 0:16:54.640 --> 0:16:57.080 Quality of the sin River. Did you see Yeah? Was 0:16:57.120 --> 0:17:00.800 it the Prime Minister the mirror of parwis swimming in 0:17:00.840 --> 0:17:03.560 the thing? Did you see this? Right? Is that a she? 0:17:03.920 --> 0:17:07.640 It's a she because I saw a documentary and some 0:17:07.720 --> 0:17:10.920 sharks came up the scene because the Mirror of Paris 0:17:10.960 --> 0:17:14.040 wouldn't shut down the triathlon that was going there, and 0:17:14.040 --> 0:17:17.240 the sharks rang a random muck. Yeah, with the triathletes 0:17:17.280 --> 0:17:18.960 in the water. No, I know, I had in Wild's 0:17:19.359 --> 0:17:21.199 a little bit worried about that as well. But no, No, 0:17:21.640 --> 0:17:23.199
