This 0:00:05.559 --> 0:00:08.719 is the Agenda Podcast for Tuesday, the twenty fifth of June. 0:00:09.640 --> 0:00:13.840 The Agenda Podcast, the home of Sporting nonsense and clap trap, 0:00:14.320 --> 0:00:16.239 brought to you by Export of Culture. 0:00:17.480 --> 0:00:20.240 Huge podcast of a Tuesday coming up very shortly. 0:00:20.280 --> 0:00:22.759 We're going to talk to James McCarney about the first 0:00:23.480 --> 0:00:25.919 all black squad that was announced for twenty twenty four 0:00:26.040 --> 0:00:26.920 Razors first squad. 0:00:27.000 --> 0:00:31.880 Yeah, obviously your contacts went, your sources didn't provide, so 0:00:31.920 --> 0:00:33.360 I'm presuming you killed the child. 0:00:33.680 --> 0:00:36.920 I started cutting off fingers and ears and I'll be 0:00:37.000 --> 0:00:39.320 mailing them to the respective sources. 0:00:39.360 --> 0:00:39.920 It was close. 0:00:40.240 --> 0:00:41.800 It was close, and. 0:00:41.760 --> 0:00:43.720 To be fair, not to spoil it, but a few 0:00:43.720 --> 0:00:47.479 of the players that I called were in are in, 0:00:47.680 --> 0:00:51.040 like the widest squad or can't take that. No, I 0:00:51.080 --> 0:00:53.720 know that's why I'm cutting off fingers, you're cutting off ears. 0:00:54.160 --> 0:00:57.720 But before we get into that, we missed this yesterday 0:00:58.000 --> 0:01:00.200 and I feel like a bit of an accountability here. 0:01:00.320 --> 0:01:01.720 Afghanistan beat Australia. 0:01:02.240 --> 0:01:05.319 How good was that? Wor the amount of shit I 0:01:05.360 --> 0:01:08.959 got from Ossie mates like sending Megan just saying, how 0:01:09.000 --> 0:01:12.880 shit are you? Kiwi's how is someone looking into the bookies? 0:01:13.240 --> 0:01:15.520 Those two games are the most fixed games I've ever seen, 0:01:15.560 --> 0:01:17.400 And I'm like, and I ignore them because I just 0:01:17.400 --> 0:01:19.080 don't want to give them bait. And then as soon 0:01:19.080 --> 0:01:21.920 as they lost yesterday, as text him and goes, you 0:01:21.959 --> 0:01:24.560 guys are so shit. You can't even beat teams. We 0:01:24.640 --> 0:01:27.200 can't beat Yeah, and they came back going fuck you. 0:01:27.640 --> 0:01:31.200 But they are potentially red hot favorites. As I said 0:01:31.200 --> 0:01:34.480 at the start of this tournament. Now they are relying 0:01:35.240 --> 0:01:37.920 on the kind of strangers, the kindness of strangers. They 0:01:37.920 --> 0:01:41.560 are relying on Bangladesh beating Afghanistan by just a little bit. 0:01:42.240 --> 0:01:47.480 Because if Afghanistan win against Bangladesh today at twelve thirty, 0:01:47.800 --> 0:01:51.480 they go through and knock out to the knockout to 0:01:51.520 --> 0:01:53.600 the Semis what it was Semis or Quarters. 0:01:53.400 --> 0:01:56.160 And knockout Australia. Yeah, this is great. 0:01:56.240 --> 0:02:02.160 And if Bangladesh absolutely hump Afghanistan, they go through. But 0:02:02.320 --> 0:02:04.760 if they only just beat them by a little bit, 0:02:04.840 --> 0:02:08.200 Australia go through. Okay, so there's still a chance. But 0:02:08.240 --> 0:02:09.840 so it can bang the Dish go through only if 0:02:09.840 --> 0:02:12.800 they hunt them Yeah, this is great. 0:02:12.840 --> 0:02:15.000 What is going on with Afghanistan? Why are they so good? 0:02:15.080 --> 0:02:15.200 Oh? 0:02:15.240 --> 0:02:19.080 The Tallyman. They fucking love T twenty. They have poled 0:02:19.120 --> 0:02:22.760 all their resources. Obviously, they've shut down all the education system. 0:02:23.760 --> 0:02:26.080 You know, women can't be seen in public, so you know, 0:02:26.120 --> 0:02:29.480 there's less expense. They've just got all of that savings 0:02:29.880 --> 0:02:31.800 they've chucked in to T twenty. 0:02:32.200 --> 0:02:34.160 I also think that fear is a great motivator. 0:02:34.320 --> 0:02:36.720 You know, I think I've said this before, but you 0:02:36.760 --> 0:02:39.320 know it's one thing to come back to Chris Luxon 0:02:39.360 --> 0:02:40.600 when you've lost the World Cup. 0:02:40.880 --> 0:02:42.359 Very different thing to face the talibanion. 0:02:42.440 --> 0:02:44.520 Yeah, they're going to come back to a hero as 0:02:44.520 --> 0:02:48.720 welcome Russia can't. He's he's a made man. Yeah, absolute 0:02:48.760 --> 0:02:52.400 made man. No, absolute barnstam me from Afghanistan. And it's 0:02:52.440 --> 0:02:55.720 great they I mean they've obviously love cricket and if 0:02:55.800 --> 0:02:57.560 they care, if it can take off, and I mean 0:02:57.600 --> 0:02:58.680 I wouldn't want to two there. 0:02:59.320 --> 0:03:02.440 No, and you can't because we're going to play Afghanistan 0:03:02.560 --> 0:03:03.800 and India. 0:03:03.880 --> 0:03:05.760 Yeah, we're going to play their first ever test against 0:03:05.800 --> 0:03:09.160 them in India. Yeah, on neutral territory. I mean, throw 0:03:09.200 --> 0:03:11.280 us a bone, let us play in abub or do 0:03:11.320 --> 0:03:14.520 bio something. At least they have a good time. Why India, 0:03:14.560 --> 0:03:18.760 Why India send us the guitar maybe yeah, yeah, kits 0:03:18.800 --> 0:03:19.320 that would be good. 0:03:19.400 --> 0:03:20.240 Yeah, it'd be great. 0:03:21.080 --> 0:03:25.000 So the Afghani's played Bangladesh Yea at twelve thirty, all 0:03:25.040 --> 0:03:27.359 eyes on that one. I would just love for Australia 0:03:27.400 --> 0:03:30.440 to get knocked out same because it would just it's 0:03:30.440 --> 0:03:33.640 so infuriating at the moment because Ossie friends are just 0:03:33.880 --> 0:03:35.320 they've got so much ammo on us. 0:03:35.520 --> 0:03:38.360 Yeah, like we well, obviously the cricket game knocked out, 0:03:38.600 --> 0:03:42.480 but the news headlines a pylon fell over because some 0:03:42.560 --> 0:03:44.680 dudes forgot to do the nuts up on the bottom. 0:03:44.920 --> 0:03:46.800 They took them off, they took them off and it 0:03:46.880 --> 0:03:49.920 fell over. So cut power to like a significant amount 0:03:50.000 --> 0:03:52.960 a part of the country. And then our fairy just 0:03:53.080 --> 0:03:56.520 runs a ground lose his power and. 0:03:56.480 --> 0:03:59.640 Then we find out, oh, the government actually been a 0:03:59.640 --> 0:04:01.640 plan to get to buy new ones. 0:04:02.880 --> 0:04:05.240 It's like we've got the worst headlines. It's like, what, 0:04:05.520 --> 0:04:08.200 I's got a message going the hell's going on over there? 0:04:09.640 --> 0:04:14.920 Like as anyone sober that was I was as anyone sober, 0:04:14.960 --> 0:04:16.719 and I had to say I don't think. 0:04:16.720 --> 0:04:19.480 So yesterday afternoon I took it into my own hands 0:04:19.480 --> 0:04:21.120 to figure out if we could build a fucking bridge 0:04:21.120 --> 0:04:24.080 over the Cook straight. We can't, by the way, twenty 0:04:24.120 --> 0:04:29.240 two kilometers long. That's okay, that'll be a very long bridge. Yeah, 0:04:29.320 --> 0:04:31.680 but two hundred and twenty meters deep as the problem. 0:04:32.040 --> 0:04:34.039 And we can't go under that quite rough seas. No, 0:04:34.120 --> 0:04:36.359 there's a bridge. Oh, yes, we can go under that. 0:04:36.480 --> 0:04:36.720 Yeah. 0:04:36.760 --> 0:04:38.560 A tunnel would work the only way. 0:04:38.560 --> 0:04:39.400 We can do it as a tunnel. 0:04:39.400 --> 0:04:41.480 As a tunnel, and it needs to pop up and 0:04:41.760 --> 0:04:43.440 blean them, yeah. 0:04:43.440 --> 0:04:47.000 Or preferably crush it all the way to crush all 0:04:47.000 --> 0:04:47.919 the way to cush. I don't know. 0:04:47.960 --> 0:04:50.719 That's a long way to be underground through, like quite 0:04:51.040 --> 0:04:51.880 like pron territory. 0:04:51.920 --> 0:04:54.599 Yeah. We had a travelator that'd be quite good. Yeah, 0:04:54.960 --> 0:04:58.960 like not people. Yeah, that's like a airport travelator. 0:04:58.960 --> 0:04:59.800 That is a long time. 0:05:01.000 --> 0:05:03.160 Well, you know, I run, Some people stand and some 0:05:03.160 --> 0:05:04.000 people walk on there. 0:05:04.080 --> 0:05:05.839 Yeah. Yeah, are you a stander or a walker? 0:05:05.880 --> 0:05:06.400 I'm a walker. 0:05:06.480 --> 0:05:07.120 Yeah, I'm a walker. 0:05:07.200 --> 0:05:09.800 It's built for speed, it's not built for convenience. 0:05:09.800 --> 0:05:11.880 It's to get us there, yeah, because. 0:05:12.440 --> 0:05:14.080 Yeah, I know so many people are just standing on it. 0:05:14.120 --> 0:05:15.880 It's like, oh, it does the walking voice. No, no, no, 0:05:16.120 --> 0:05:16.880 it's to get. 0:05:16.720 --> 0:05:18.360 You there faster. Yeah. 0:05:18.400 --> 0:05:21.000 The only time I'll stand is if my missus does. 0:05:21.040 --> 0:05:22.920 Is every time she won't get on them, she'll just walk. 0:05:23.120 --> 0:05:25.520 She's like, fucking, I'm about to sit down, I'll just walk. 0:05:25.720 --> 0:05:27.360 And so I'll just stand on it, right next to it. 0:05:27.839 --> 0:05:28.760 How's you walking it? 0:05:29.480 --> 0:05:31.440 Do you do the turn backwards in moonwalk? 0:05:31.839 --> 0:05:32.039 Yeah? 0:05:32.440 --> 0:05:36.159 Thatttle bit of really feeling like fucking with it. But yeah, 0:05:36.320 --> 0:05:36.760 a tunnel? 0:05:36.760 --> 0:05:38.400 Why not a tunnel, because then all of a sudden, 0:05:38.440 --> 0:05:40.160 Nelson becomes a suburb of Wellington. 0:05:40.400 --> 0:05:44.400 And listen, I look. Talk to Lee Hart. He helped 0:05:44.400 --> 0:05:47.440 build the Channel tunnel. He did, so, you know, get 0:05:47.520 --> 0:05:48.960 him on board as an advisor. 0:05:49.120 --> 0:05:49.240 Ye. 0:05:49.800 --> 0:05:52.760 And let's just maybe I can't believe we sent the 0:05:52.760 --> 0:05:55.320 Waterview Tunnel boring machine back to its home. 0:05:55.360 --> 0:05:56.839 We could have just kept it here and just dug 0:05:56.920 --> 0:05:57.599 holes everywhere. 0:05:57.640 --> 0:05:59.920 Yeah, and all of the minds that are going to 0:06:00.080 --> 0:06:03.040 a business on the West coast a hole. Take us 0:06:03.040 --> 0:06:05.599 a hole underneath the bloody tunnel the Channel. 0:06:06.040 --> 0:06:08.400 It'd be great, it would be great, high speed train 0:06:08.520 --> 0:06:09.000 under there. 0:06:09.400 --> 0:06:12.560 Yeah, you could be from bloody Wellington. To christ Such 0:06:12.600 --> 0:06:15.119 and Harbor. It'll be cheap a few beers on the train. 0:06:15.320 --> 0:06:17.039 I'm going to throw it out there. Rather have a 0:06:17.040 --> 0:06:21.359 tunnel between the islands than the city rail link and Auckland. 0:06:22.279 --> 0:06:26.320 Yes, yeah, I think everyone, even people in Auckland, like, 0:06:26.720 --> 0:06:27.800 no one's asked for this, No. 0:06:27.760 --> 0:06:28.359 One's asked for it. 0:06:28.400 --> 0:06:30.880 Where does it go from the waterfront. 0:06:30.320 --> 0:06:33.280 To It's a lean brown okay, a full lean brown 0:06:33.360 --> 0:06:35.960 Nati far to her room. It's a tribute to the 0:06:36.440 --> 0:06:39.359 Nati far to room into the tunnel is how they 0:06:39.440 --> 0:06:41.919 got it done, in a metaphorical kind of tribute to 0:06:41.960 --> 0:06:44.400 the tunnel of Bev and Schwang. 0:06:44.600 --> 0:06:45.320 Yeah. 0:06:45.360 --> 0:06:49.040 And after all of this discussion about bridges and tunnels 0:06:49.080 --> 0:06:54.120 and new boats and various train railway lines, what will 0:06:54.120 --> 0:06:55.839 do in the end is just put a roof on 0:06:55.839 --> 0:06:59.359 Eaton Park. And I actually heard someone complain about that 0:06:59.400 --> 0:07:01.840 for the first time the other day. I was like, 0:07:01.880 --> 0:07:03.920 no one has ever said I love it in park, 0:07:03.960 --> 0:07:05.880 but I watched they had a roof except until it's 0:07:05.880 --> 0:07:07.880 talking to clear. The other day she's like, first game 0:07:07.880 --> 0:07:09.760 of rugby she took her son to. Yeah, She's like, 0:07:09.800 --> 0:07:12.280 I got soaked. Yeah, needs a roof and there's a roof. 0:07:12.320 --> 0:07:16.160 I was like, well, what about a flying fox or 0:07:16.200 --> 0:07:18.480 what about across the tunnel across the strait? 0:07:18.600 --> 0:07:21.160 Yeah, or you know, maybe maybe not a flying. 0:07:20.880 --> 0:07:22.280 Fox, you know, like a cable car. 0:07:22.360 --> 0:07:24.480 Yeah, cable car like you know in Brazil they love 0:07:24.480 --> 0:07:26.760 a cable car in Brazil South America. 0:07:26.600 --> 0:07:27.200 Yeah, you know. 0:07:27.560 --> 0:07:29.360 But it gets a bit windy though, doesn't it through 0:07:29.360 --> 0:07:32.640 that straight very fucking windy. Yes, so you get a 0:07:32.720 --> 0:07:34.760 rock on when you're with a big gondola. 0:07:35.120 --> 0:07:37.160 Yeah, that that would be tough. 0:07:37.560 --> 0:07:42.000 What about what about well of those vacuum tubes that 0:07:42.080 --> 0:07:45.240 you know you used to send mail. Yeah, so you 0:07:45.320 --> 0:07:47.520 get in like a little coffin and go. 0:07:49.120 --> 0:07:52.440 And shot through it one thousand miles an hour through 0:07:52.520 --> 0:07:54.560 to Pectant from wellings In. 0:07:55.200 --> 0:07:57.720 Yeah, that could be a go. I think it would be. 0:07:58.240 --> 0:08:01.640 The positives are so outweigh the negatives, like all of 0:08:01.680 --> 0:08:03.640 a sudden, the Marble Sounds are like a genuine place 0:08:03.680 --> 0:08:05.480 you can go to because at the moment, I haven't 0:08:05.480 --> 0:08:07.240 even been there, and I lived in South Island most. 0:08:07.080 --> 0:08:07.520 Of my life. 0:08:07.520 --> 0:08:09.360 It's hard to get to, hard to get to a 0:08:09.400 --> 0:08:11.080 lot of boats, a lot of boats, a lot of 0:08:11.160 --> 0:08:13.560 organizing too, because you've got to take awayr shit with. 0:08:13.520 --> 0:08:14.720 You, the old murder. 0:08:14.840 --> 0:08:15.080 Yeah. 0:08:15.160 --> 0:08:18.560 And I think if it was a tunnel or a bridge, 0:08:18.920 --> 0:08:21.920 all of a sudden, that's your that's added to your 0:08:21.920 --> 0:08:24.120 travel itinerary, if you're a foreigner, it. 0:08:24.080 --> 0:08:28.240 Would absolutely open up Tasman. Tasman tourism would boom. I 0:08:28.320 --> 0:08:31.160 probably hate it. They'd be like Waiki Island. They'd be like, 0:08:31.280 --> 0:08:34.440 you know, Wayaiki Island biggest, one of the biggest tourist destinations, 0:08:34.679 --> 0:08:37.319 wouldn't survive without tourists. They fucking hate tourist. 0:08:37.400 --> 0:08:37.559 Yeah. 0:08:37.600 --> 0:08:39.920 The locals hate them because they think they've found something 0:08:39.960 --> 0:08:41.640 that they wanted to keep away from everyone else, and. 0:08:41.640 --> 0:08:43.520 They got the little express lane they going to. I've 0:08:43.559 --> 0:08:45.400 had a couple of pops at the express lane in 0:08:45.440 --> 0:08:47.760 the weekends and the residents come up and flash their id. 0:08:47.920 --> 0:08:49.080 Oh this is to get onto the fear. 0:08:49.280 --> 0:08:49.480 Yeah. 0:08:49.520 --> 0:08:51.560 And I was like, there wasn't even a que and 0:08:51.640 --> 0:08:55.040 the normal people and like the right and I was like, hey, 0:08:55.400 --> 0:08:57.240 what are you doing, because are you a resident? I 0:08:57.240 --> 0:08:59.920 was like no, no, but I I do pay rates. 0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:03.640 Auckland City Council, which subsidized your fairy and subsidized most 0:09:03.679 --> 0:09:05.800 of your facilities here where that's cool. She's like, yeah, 0:09:05.840 --> 0:09:08.040 well we get we miss all that fairy time of 0:09:08.120 --> 0:09:11.360 it nearly hit butter and spread and nose across your face. 0:09:11.559 --> 0:09:13.199 Anyway, sounds like a fun wead trip to it. 0:09:13.480 --> 0:09:16.760 Anyway, As I said, we're going to talk about the 0:09:16.760 --> 0:09:20.679 All Blacks team very shortly, but they've also unveiled their jersey. 0:09:20.840 --> 0:09:22.079 They've brought back the white collar. 0:09:22.480 --> 0:09:25.480 Yes, so it's the twenty fifth anniversary of being peered 0:09:25.559 --> 0:09:29.079 up with Adidas twenty five years. Yeah, and then that 0:09:29.080 --> 0:09:31.439 they've been the most the winningest team. Dove won two 0:09:32.720 --> 0:09:36.160 World Cups. The Black Ferns have won five World Championships, 0:09:36.200 --> 0:09:39.400 so very successful. And twenty five years ago they had 0:09:39.400 --> 0:09:41.680 the white collar. Now for the first time ever, the 0:09:41.760 --> 0:09:43.720 Black Ferns and the All Blacks we have the same jersey, 0:09:43.800 --> 0:09:46.280 although it's actually not because the color is completely different. 0:09:47.040 --> 0:09:49.840 But yeah, the collar's back with his NND on the collar. 0:09:49.840 --> 0:09:51.000 You got a photo of it in front of it. 0:09:51.080 --> 0:09:51.880 I love the collar, you do. 0:09:52.120 --> 0:09:55.720 I like the collar because that's every rugby jersey I 0:09:55.720 --> 0:09:58.280 had known, and when I was growing up had a collar. Yeah, 0:09:58.320 --> 0:10:00.280 and they're going away from the collar. I don't know. 0:10:00.280 --> 0:10:00.679 I quite like. 0:10:00.720 --> 0:10:03.480 It looks quite formal. Have it done any funk anything 0:10:03.520 --> 0:10:05.959 funky with like the design inside the shirt or anything 0:10:06.000 --> 0:10:07.719 he kind of hidden penises or. 0:10:07.880 --> 0:10:10.040 No, it's just black. It's just like black on black 0:10:10.080 --> 0:10:14.280 on black. The silver fern is actually silver this time around. 0:10:14.360 --> 0:10:14.959 I think white. 0:10:15.040 --> 0:10:16.600 No, I think it had been white up until now, 0:10:16.679 --> 0:10:19.719 but I think it's actually silver. They've still got all 0:10:19.760 --> 0:10:21.719 Tread on the front of it, which could not tell 0:10:21.720 --> 0:10:22.760 you what the fuck All Trade do. 0:10:23.400 --> 0:10:24.520 I've seen one of a deary. 0:10:24.679 --> 0:10:26.439 I don't know how to It's a French isn't it 0:10:26.480 --> 0:10:27.319 a French company? 0:10:27.600 --> 0:10:28.280 What do they do? 0:10:29.240 --> 0:10:31.600 The guy's quite I think the guy is quite controversial. 0:10:31.640 --> 0:10:35.360 The guy that owns All Tread, I think he They 0:10:35.440 --> 0:10:37.080 copped a bit of a grief for it. It's not 0:10:37.120 --> 0:10:40.720 as controversial as Enios, which is basically big oil. 0:10:40.800 --> 0:10:43.840 Also, don't know what they do Big oil? All right, Okay, 0:10:44.320 --> 0:10:45.840 so they sell me their petrol? 0:10:46.520 --> 0:10:48.400 Yeah, and like they they're there. They're the ones that 0:10:48.520 --> 0:10:52.360 OL Tread group. I think it is. Our tread is 0:10:52.360 --> 0:10:54.640 a glance. Here you go. You're ready? 0:10:54.800 --> 0:10:55.000 Yeah? 0:10:55.120 --> 0:10:57.559 Are you ready? It's gonna blow your mind. It's big 0:10:57.600 --> 0:10:59.480 oil as well, OL Trade as a world leader in 0:10:59.480 --> 0:11:03.640 the provision of it industrial services, generating high added value solutions, 0:11:03.640 --> 0:11:07.800 principally for oil and gas, energy, power generation, process, environment 0:11:07.880 --> 0:11:09.439 and construction sectors. 0:11:09.600 --> 0:11:12.600 This is why whenever people shit on live, I'm like, 0:11:14.400 --> 0:11:17.559 we've got fucking oil on our heads, literally on our chest. 0:11:17.840 --> 0:11:20.200 I think they do logistics for oil. Yeah, they don't 0:11:20.200 --> 0:11:22.640 actually deal on any of us. Does the dealing? Sure, 0:11:22.800 --> 0:11:24.280 So there you go. I mean that's where all the 0:11:24.320 --> 0:11:27.000 money is. I mean, they took away, they took away tobacco, 0:11:27.040 --> 0:11:28.000 so they've got to look somewhere. 0:11:28.040 --> 0:11:31.600 The Saudi Wealth Fund doesn't actually deal in slaves, but 0:11:31.679 --> 0:11:36.400 they do profit from it. So just whenever someone jumps 0:11:36.400 --> 0:11:38.360 on the high horse about where the money's coming from 0:11:38.360 --> 0:11:41.439 for sports, like, we're all you know, yeah, we're all 0:11:41.440 --> 0:11:43.720 dipping our toe in a little bit totally, you know. 0:11:44.000 --> 0:11:47.520 So who I think that before we get onto the 0:11:47.559 --> 0:11:51.520 actual team naming with Maconie, I think that they should. 0:11:51.160 --> 0:11:53.240 Televise the squad naming. And I'm sure it was. 0:11:53.320 --> 0:11:55.720 There was a live stream somewhere. There's a video of it. 0:11:55.720 --> 0:11:57.760 It should be because they announced. 0:11:57.400 --> 0:12:00.560 It like six o'clock. So why isn't it just on 0:12:00.679 --> 0:12:01.120 the news. 0:12:01.160 --> 0:12:03.160 Why isn't the first half hour the news that or 0:12:03.240 --> 0:12:04.920 been the chase and played at five point thirty. 0:12:05.360 --> 0:12:05.720 I don't know. 0:12:05.800 --> 0:12:08.400 I don't know. I don't know because it's so unceremonial. 0:12:08.520 --> 0:12:09.960 You just see it on your Instagram. 0:12:09.640 --> 0:12:11.600 Feed and they sucked the life out of it. Da 0:12:11.800 --> 0:12:14.760 poor Dame Patsy Ready and got up there, mispronouncing names, 0:12:15.280 --> 0:12:18.440 said that Jordi Barrett's from the Blues, Like I know 0:12:18.559 --> 0:12:21.880 that she's chairman of the board, but as a fan, I. 0:12:22.080 --> 0:12:24.920 Don't give a fuck who's on the board. Have Richie 0:12:24.960 --> 0:12:26.360 reading it, I don't give a fuck at that. 0:12:26.559 --> 0:12:28.680 You're chairman of the board. Good one, great, well done. 0:12:28.920 --> 0:12:30.480 You've got free tickets and flooring and the will go 0:12:30.480 --> 0:12:31.719 to the World Cups. I don't care. Make sure the 0:12:31.760 --> 0:12:35.480 games run well like which also you're not doing. Yeah, 0:12:35.679 --> 0:12:39.240 I mean fuck yeah, Like you're saying, get someone, I 0:12:39.240 --> 0:12:42.520 mean Richie probably not.

Yeah, and 0:13:34.840 --> 0:13:36.559 obviously they're all rooting for him because they're going to 0:13:36.559 --> 0:13:38.440 probably benefit from it, and they all go ape shit 0:13:38.480 --> 0:13:40.480 when he when he gets drafted, and the sick and 0:13:40.520 --> 0:13:43.040 pack or whatever and make it something for us to watch. 0:13:43.400 --> 0:13:45.520 They sucked the life out They sucked the ever living 0:13:45.720 --> 0:13:46.439 life out of it. 0:13:46.840 --> 0:13:49.600 They have some players there already, so they already knew 0:13:49.600 --> 0:13:52.240 that they were getting packed. Yeah, there was no surprise there, 0:13:52.360 --> 0:13:55.800 and it's like, I don't know, just make give us 0:13:55.840 --> 0:13:56.920 something that's entertainment. 0:13:56.960 --> 0:13:59.200 I think for the longest time people haven't been like 0:13:59.240 --> 0:14:01.720 New Zealand Rugby can't figure out what their role in 0:14:01.760 --> 0:14:04.319 society is. It's fucking entertainment. Entertainment when I get home 0:14:04.320 --> 0:14:08.360 from work, just entertainment. I don't care, like it's not 0:14:08.480 --> 0:14:09.920 it's not anything more than that. 0:14:10.000 --> 0:14:10.200 I know. 0:14:10.240 --> 0:14:13.880 You like to pretend you're different than you know, singers, dancers, whatever, 0:14:13.920 --> 0:14:15.400 you're not your reality TV. 0:14:15.960 --> 0:14:18.200 Yeah, and so lean into that. 0:14:18.360 --> 0:14:20.920 And that's what America do so well. Yeah, and even 0:14:20.920 --> 0:14:22.200 Aussie to be honest. 0:14:22.000 --> 0:14:23.880 They understand the role of sport in society. 0:14:23.920 --> 0:14:24.120 Yeah. 0:14:24.120 --> 0:14:25.960 It's Kardashians for dudes. 0:14:26.000 --> 0:14:28.920 It's like yeah, and it was like that when I 0:14:28.960 --> 0:14:32.000 went to the topor V eights and the supercars. All 0:14:32.000 --> 0:14:35.280 the Aussie supercar guys who run the supercars, we're talking 0:14:35.320 --> 0:14:39.080 about the fact that this is entertainment. Like, that's why 0:14:39.080 --> 0:14:41.720 we haven't changed the engines. That's why there's still a 0:14:41.720 --> 0:14:44.240 gear stick and it's not paddle shift because at the 0:14:44.360 --> 0:14:47.320 entertainment value of having a camera and people and you 0:14:47.320 --> 0:14:50.080 see the drivers with the two pedals and the gear stick, 0:14:50.120 --> 0:14:52.000 people are like, fuck, I can do that. I've got 0:14:52.000 --> 0:14:53.680 a gear stick in my car, and I've got three 0:14:53.720 --> 0:14:56.640 pedals as well. Yeah, it's all about showers and that's 0:14:56.640 --> 0:14:57.920 why they have the big bangers. 0:14:58.000 --> 0:15:00.360 That's why you watch that and not slock cars. And 0:15:00.680 --> 0:15:01.760 it looks like your car. 0:15:02.120 --> 0:15:04.280 You can go out and buy a Mustang that looks 0:15:04.320 --> 0:15:09.120 like that and pretend that you were fucking Mark Bengezbergen. Yeah, exactly, 0:15:09.160 --> 0:15:13.280 And that's what and that's what it's all about. Mark Vengersbergen, 0:15:13.680 --> 0:15:15.920 I got it. I got it mixed up with Mark 0:15:15.960 --> 0:15:20.640 scaife anyway, So I agree, I agree. I don't know, 0:15:20.720 --> 0:15:23.000 but I don't We've been saying that for the longest time. 0:15:23.040 --> 0:15:25.480 But I heard I didn't get to see it myself, 0:15:26.120 --> 0:15:28.480 but I heard even from my kids that the halftime 0:15:28.600 --> 0:15:31.680 entertainment at the Super Rugby Final was the next level. 0:15:31.920 --> 0:15:33.680 I've heard this too yet. 0:15:33.720 --> 0:15:36.520 The ground they had basically Fred again played and as 0:15:36.560 --> 0:15:39.280 Fred again Bill Ta Yeah, no, he didn't play live, 0:15:39.600 --> 0:15:41.920 but they just said Fred and it goes what does 0:15:41.960 --> 0:15:45.080 it leave me alone? A lot? And then when the 0:15:45.160 --> 0:15:47.520 base had all the fire weeks went off and then 0:15:47.560 --> 0:15:50.680 they had a laser show that laser projected maps the field, 0:15:51.040 --> 0:15:53.120 so there was projection mapping on the field that filled, 0:15:53.120 --> 0:15:54.200 the whole stadium was smoked. 0:15:54.200 --> 0:15:57.920 So the laser so getting his sleep on. 0:15:58.920 --> 0:16:02.160 I hope not now, because she would have just wanted 0:16:02.160 --> 0:16:03.400 to sleep to the sound of the rain on her 0:16:03.480 --> 0:16:07.320 roof and it was all over by nine o'clock. Yeah, yeah, 0:16:07.640 --> 0:16:08.680 you would have turned it off. 0:16:08.560 --> 0:16:10.920 Good, a bit better than the marching band that had 0:16:10.920 --> 0:16:12.520 had for the couple of weeks before that. 0:16:13.000 --> 0:16:15.080 Now they went all out, hopefully, hopefully that was a 0:16:15.080 --> 0:16:16.160 good example for everyone else. 0:16:16.240 --> 0:16:16.760 Yeah, brilliant. 0:16:16.760 --> 0:16:19.360 All right, we've tiptoed around it for far too long already. 0:16:19.480 --> 0:16:21.680 Let us take a quick break. When we come back, 0:16:21.920 --> 0:16:24.800 we're going to digest the Razor's first ever squad with 0:16:24.880 --> 0:16:25.600 James mcconey. 0:16:27.440 --> 0:16:28.320 All right, well, it. 0:16:28.360 --> 0:16:31.760 Is a great pleasure to welcome from the sky TV 0:16:32.000 --> 0:16:36.040 car Park, James mcconey. Mcconey, I presume you've seen the 0:16:36.080 --> 0:16:40.920 team list, a few shock inclusions, a few shock omissions. 0:16:41.000 --> 0:16:43.120 I'll let you start wherever you want. What did you like? 0:16:43.200 --> 0:16:45.760 What didn't you like about the announcement, the team list, 0:16:46.280 --> 0:16:46.720 all of it. 0:16:47.800 --> 0:16:50.680 Well, I thought it was pretty cool that Dame Patsy 0:16:50.720 --> 0:16:53.720 really pretty much nailed all the tough names. I mean, 0:16:53.760 --> 0:16:56.640
