This is the Agenda Podcast for Monday, 0:00:08.840 --> 0:00:09.680 the eighth of July. 0:00:10.640 --> 0:00:14.880 The Agenda Podcast, the home of Sporting Nonsense and clap Trap, 0:00:15.320 --> 0:00:17.239 brought to you by Export a Vulture. 0:00:18.440 --> 0:00:19.920 How's the health this morning, Lane. 0:00:19.760 --> 0:00:23.680 I'm not too bad, not too bad. It was quite 0:00:23.720 --> 0:00:25.079 a heaty weekend though, wasn't it. 0:00:25.560 --> 0:00:25.599 Ed. 0:00:26.040 --> 0:00:30.800 I reckon, it's enough three nights in Dunedin. It's like Vegas. Yeah, 0:00:30.960 --> 0:00:31.240 three is. 0:00:31.320 --> 0:00:34.320 Enough, I'll say on the whole weekend. The worst city 0:00:34.360 --> 0:00:37.080 in the country to be hung over in because it's 0:00:37.120 --> 0:00:40.360 so cold outside and then so hot inside every ego. 0:00:40.760 --> 0:00:42.599 So to be able to try and regulate your temperature 0:00:42.600 --> 0:00:45.760 when you're already, you know, sweating out your eyeballs. 0:00:45.600 --> 0:00:48.440 It's quite draining, isn't it. Yeah, it is quite draining. 0:00:48.440 --> 0:00:49.120 But what a weekend. 0:00:49.159 --> 0:00:50.720 It was a huge weekend. I want to address something 0:00:50.760 --> 0:00:52.479 before we're going to recap our weekend. But I want 0:00:52.479 --> 0:00:54.880 to address something right up the top. The Fox South 0:00:54.920 --> 0:00:58.440 canerary rhetoric have reached fever pitch. The whole time we're 0:00:58.480 --> 0:01:00.600 down there across the weekend, people yelling it at me 0:01:01.360 --> 0:01:03.880 up the street, and it's one of those things where 0:01:03.920 --> 0:01:07.240 it's now starting to leak out into the mainstream where 0:01:07.240 --> 0:01:09.720 people that don't follow the acc are starting to hear 0:01:09.760 --> 0:01:14.240 and see it. Because somebody's drafted up a Fox South 0:01:14.280 --> 0:01:17.280 Canterbury Supporters support group shit that it's looking like we're 0:01:17.319 --> 0:01:17.679 gonna I. 0:01:17.680 --> 0:01:20.400 Think it's called the Fox South Canerbury Social Club. 0:01:22.280 --> 0:01:24.919 And so now people are seeing and town getting tagged 0:01:24.959 --> 0:01:27.480 and everything. People from WYOMT have been like, what's all 0:01:27.520 --> 0:01:29.640 this about? What's going on? And I just want to 0:01:29.800 --> 0:01:32.520 I want to try and clarify that this was something 0:01:32.600 --> 0:01:34.680 that someone from Mid Canterbury center in a few times 0:01:34.720 --> 0:01:36.679 and it just gains steam and the more that you 0:01:36.800 --> 0:01:39.720 try and stop it, the more it's going to grow. 0:01:39.760 --> 0:01:43.320 The more oxygen you put on the fire, bigger the 0:01:43.360 --> 0:01:45.679 flames are going to grow. So I don't know, we're 0:01:45.680 --> 0:01:47.559 gonna have to lean into it. I think the FUX 0:01:47.640 --> 0:01:50.280 South Canerbury Social Club what we need to do is 0:01:50.320 --> 0:01:52.080 sell that to anyone that's playing South Canterbury in the 0:01:52.080 --> 0:01:54.240 Heartland comp this year. So I think we'll make a 0:01:54.280 --> 0:01:56.160 lot of money doing that and if I can somehow 0:01:56.200 --> 0:01:58.160 funnel those funds back into South Canterbury. 0:01:58.200 --> 0:01:59.760 Well, that's what you need to do. You need to 0:01:59.840 --> 0:02:02.480 check like the black Cap Supporters support group, you know 0:02:02.680 --> 0:02:04.800 you short the market. Yeah, that's what you gotta do. 0:02:04.920 --> 0:02:07.560 I need to if someone could put me in touch 0:02:07.560 --> 0:02:09.720 with Craig Growley, who's the mire down there, and I 0:02:09.760 --> 0:02:10.880 can explain myself. 0:02:11.000 --> 0:02:13.000 But I do like the way that we met a 0:02:13.040 --> 0:02:16.080 lot of great New Zealanders over the weekend, both the 0:02:16.120 --> 0:02:20.799 Friday and the Saturday nights, and I did like quite 0:02:20.840 --> 0:02:23.680 a few of them. It was their partying farewell, like 0:02:23.760 --> 0:02:27.079 they go make great to me, see later, fouth kenry 0:02:27.120 --> 0:02:29.000 and just do it under their breath as they walked away. 0:02:29.040 --> 0:02:31.280 And I was like, I like that. So that was 0:02:31.280 --> 0:02:33.360 a good interaction because you didn't have that hot with it. 0:02:33.639 --> 0:02:34.919 You just left him where as he left me. 0:02:35.360 --> 0:02:37.320 By the way, it was getting to the point where 0:02:37.320 --> 0:02:39.320 I was like, oh, think this guy was nice. I 0:02:39.360 --> 0:02:42.079 think we've gotten away with this fox South Canterbury by 0:02:42.680 --> 0:02:45.240 bt W. And then there were some other guys there 0:02:45.280 --> 0:02:47.520 who were from South Canterbury. They didn't know what was 0:02:47.520 --> 0:02:50.280 going on. What is every what does everyone first of 0:02:50.320 --> 0:02:52.720 all even know where South Canterbury is Yeah, thinking of well, 0:02:52.720 --> 0:02:54.480 why does everyone give a shit so much? Why do 0:02:54.480 --> 0:02:56.320 they hate it so much? As I don't know. Look, 0:02:56.360 --> 0:02:59.560 I take it as a positive, a term of endearment 0:02:59.600 --> 0:03:01.920 because in South Canterbery and in a lot of parts 0:03:01.919 --> 0:03:03.840 of the country, that's how you express a fiction. But 0:03:04.000 --> 0:03:06.240 telling each other to get fucked, Yeah, that's that's how 0:03:06.280 --> 0:03:08.799 because we are too emotionally stunted as New Zealanders to 0:03:09.160 --> 0:03:10.239 be like love you man. 0:03:10.120 --> 0:03:12.120 And look at least we're talking about it. Yeah, that's 0:03:12.120 --> 0:03:14.040 a right, thanks, we're talking about them. There's probably a 0:03:14.080 --> 0:03:16.280 lot of provinces who've got a lot of money and 0:03:16.320 --> 0:03:20.160 they spend on tourism and comms just to get people 0:03:20.320 --> 0:03:22.880 just to be in the conversation, you see, and that 0:03:22.919 --> 0:03:25.000 they'll probably spen hundreds of thousands of dollars to get 0:03:25.000 --> 0:03:28.799 in the conversation, like North Otago for example. Southland. Yeah, 0:03:29.360 --> 0:03:32.720 they're still they're still recovering from the gay gore slur 0:03:32.880 --> 0:03:35.920 back from the early nineties from Jeremy Wells. Yeah, they're 0:03:35.920 --> 0:03:38.200 still trying to calms their way out of that. Yeah, 0:03:38.280 --> 0:03:41.720 So you know, I would, I'd take it South Canterbury. Yeah, 0:03:41.760 --> 0:03:42.880 but it's turned me into it. 0:03:43.000 --> 0:03:45.200 Like now I get my back up every time I'm 0:03:45.200 --> 0:03:47.520 talking to some punda out in the streets, because they'll 0:03:47.520 --> 0:03:49.880 immediately be like, fuck South Canterbury, where are you from? 0:03:49.880 --> 0:03:51.640 Well, the true tests will be this Saturday at the 0:03:51.680 --> 0:03:54.800 Postsman's Postman's Leg for our pregame. Oh yeah, from two 0:03:54.840 --> 0:03:57.280 o'clock and Glenfield. If people are coming up to you 0:03:57.400 --> 0:04:01.920 in Glenfield, Auckland and doing that, then you know that, okay, 0:04:02.080 --> 0:04:03.680 it's they staying to get serious. 0:04:03.720 --> 0:04:05.800 They probably will, but they won't know where South Canaba is. 0:04:05.920 --> 0:04:08.800 A lot of people think like Hornby or just south 0:04:08.880 --> 0:04:10.120 christ here to South Canery. 0:04:10.200 --> 0:04:12.960 Initially I thought that I thought just drive ten kilometers 0:04:13.160 --> 0:04:15.280 south of christ Church there is South Canterbury. 0:04:15.560 --> 0:04:17.920 No, it's about two hours south of Kross. That's that's 0:04:17.920 --> 0:04:18.919 how long Canary is. 0:04:18.920 --> 0:04:22.640 But we meet some people from tamuk aademy, meet what 0:04:22.640 --> 0:04:28.560 are they called Timukians. 0:04:25.880 --> 0:04:27.480 Sort of just try and generally avoid them. 0:04:27.480 --> 0:04:33.839 Were possible, I didn't, but I didn't have any to comparison. 0:04:33.880 --> 0:04:36.480 And you're the only Wimo I know, you and Katie Bell. 0:04:37.320 --> 0:04:39.880 So I need to meet some other Waimos just so 0:04:39.920 --> 0:04:43.000 I can gather an opinion on the Wimos versus the Timukians. 0:04:43.200 --> 0:04:46.520 Yeah, okay, yeah, okay, Well I'll get get a couple around. 0:04:46.520 --> 0:04:47.880 If you are left to go and do a show 0:04:47.880 --> 0:04:52.359 from the region theater, have bell play after it. 0:04:52.480 --> 0:04:55.560 If we do do that, I want to find where 0:04:55.560 --> 0:04:58.159 the boundary is between Canterbury and South Canterbury. And I 0:04:58.240 --> 0:05:02.200 want to erect a welcome to South Canterbury.

Otherwise it will get 0:05:21.839 --> 0:05:22.760 taken down pretty qurect. 0:05:22.800 --> 0:05:24.520 Not a lot of regions have those signs now in 0:05:24.520 --> 0:05:27.040 the towns.

On the Friday afternoon, we 0:06:17.600 --> 0:06:20.440 went out to the airport, picked a few punters up 0:06:20.720 --> 0:06:22.839 and I love that. You would have seen the photos 0:06:22.839 --> 0:06:25.560 on social media, but we got about three different groups 0:06:25.560 --> 0:06:28.200 of dudes who are all on lads trips at various 0:06:28.400 --> 0:06:30.320 stages of their life. You know, there was the young 0:06:30.360 --> 0:06:32.960 bucks who just finished university. As a group who were 0:06:32.960 --> 0:06:35.120 a little bit older.

Yeah, yeah, Fox South Canterbury a man 0:09:19.040 --> 0:09:22.440 and then carried on and then we rolled into the 0:09:22.480 --> 0:09:25.800 pre party at Kensington and for the moment we showed up, 0:09:25.840 --> 0:09:27.880 it was just packed. We showed up at about midday 0:09:28.080 --> 0:09:32.719 and there was just people absolutely everywhere bringing books. Matt 0:09:32.760 --> 0:09:34.880 Heath was down there. They were bringing his book to sign. 0:09:35.720 --> 0:09:36.920 I signed one of Heath's. 0:09:36.679 --> 0:09:39.199 Books, So did I?

I didn't know you'd 0:09:59.120 --> 0:10:01.240 see that. So I just wrote funk that Hey, that 0:10:01.360 --> 0:10:04.840 signed the book as well.

And 0:11:02.800 --> 0:11:04.240 I was saying to him, because I said this on 0:11:04.280 --> 0:11:07.800 the podcast, I was like, if Richie Moonga shows up 0:11:07.840 --> 0:11:10.839 to a professional rugby competition, he wins it, Like there 0:11:10.840 --> 0:11:13.400 hasn't been he hasn't competed in a competition that he 0:11:13.440 --> 0:11:15.160 hasn't won in years.

Yeah, Highland. 0:11:33.160 --> 0:11:36.120 Yeah, it was the host who of me and Sheddon 0:11:36.120 --> 0:11:38.880 Frazell actually got deep into our inn RL fantasy teams. 0:11:38.880 --> 0:11:41.800 We swapped phones and we haven't looked looked through each 0:11:41.800 --> 0:11:43.679 other's team because he was going. 0:11:44.280 --> 0:11:44.760 He was good. 0:11:44.800 --> 0:11:46.640 He's sicken in his league, so I think there's a 0:11:46.679 --> 0:11:48.880 bunch of japan guys that play over in Japan have 0:11:48.920 --> 0:11:52.320 an n RL fantasy league. He was telling me about 0:11:52.320 --> 0:11:55.120 his brother, Tyson Frazel. Oh, yes, yeah, I could never 0:11:55.240 --> 0:11:58.000 figure out what the I heard rumors the brothers, the cousins, 0:11:58.040 --> 0:12:03.440 separated birth brothers. Yeah and yeah, Tyson just played his 0:12:03.480 --> 0:12:07.880 two hundred and fiftieth game for in the NRL. Shennon's 0:12:07.880 --> 0:12:08.800 never played rugby league. 0:12:08.840 --> 0:12:10.599 Yeah, say, did you ask him if he's going to 0:12:10.640 --> 0:12:12.599 give it a hoon's. 0:12:11.920 --> 0:12:14.000 Everyone that walked past was asking him when he's coming 0:12:14.000 --> 0:12:16.400 back to the Highlanders. They love him down there. Yeah, 0:12:16.440 --> 0:12:17.960 And he was like I've got one more year on 0:12:18.000 --> 0:12:20.400 my contract than Japan. That was his answer. Every time. 0:12:20.400 --> 0:12:21.840 It's like, here's nothing. 0:12:21.600 --> 0:12:25.480 Though, nice, nice there. They were good, good chaps, those guys. 0:12:25.520 --> 0:12:28.480 And i'll tell you what the bus ride was. Something 0:12:28.520 --> 0:12:32.040 else was loose. Yeah, it was great because I sat 0:12:32.080 --> 0:12:33.960 down and I was like, hey, Richie, jump in the 0:12:33.960 --> 0:12:36.559 front seat and welcome everyone on board. And then I'm 0:12:36.600 --> 0:12:39.000 going to give you the Spotify playlist and you run 0:12:39.040 --> 0:12:41.199 the cutter on the music. Yeah. And first of all, 0:12:41.200 --> 0:12:44.040 he welcomed everyone on board the Richies Export Express and 0:12:44.200 --> 0:12:48.320 was like whoa. And then we had two rounds of buses, 0:12:48.360 --> 0:12:50.480 so we had beck falls back and forth. So the 0:12:50.480 --> 0:12:52.959 first one he experimented a little bit and played Poor 0:12:53.040 --> 0:12:58.760 Year oh and didn't get a great reception, right, And 0:12:58.800 --> 0:13:00.720 they said to him, look, you're in the deep South. 0:13:00.760 --> 0:13:06.040 He mean, just maybe bliss and he's like okay. And 0:13:06.080 --> 0:13:08.480 then then he found his rhythm and he played wagon 0:13:08.480 --> 0:13:11.559 Wheel as well. Yeah, bought the house down with wagon Wheel. 0:13:11.840 --> 0:13:14.360 But good on them. Next bus first hung up Poor 0:13:14.440 --> 0:13:16.600 Year straight into it again. 0:13:16.720 --> 0:13:18.199 He's like this could work. 0:13:18.280 --> 0:13:20.200 Yeah, he's going to drill it into them, and then 0:13:20.640 --> 0:13:22.800 dropped in a two ten to my Wei and then 0:13:23.000 --> 0:13:25.160 hit him again with bliss and then hit him again 0:13:25.200 --> 0:13:27.600 with wagon wheel on the second time. At one stage 0:13:27.640 --> 0:13:29.520 I thought the bus may well have tipped over. The 0:13:29.520 --> 0:13:30.600 people were jumping up and down. 0:13:30.760 --> 0:13:32.880 Oh my god. Yeah, So I was on there were 0:13:32.920 --> 0:13:35.320 we had two buses going back and forth, and I 0:13:35.400 --> 0:13:38.200 was on the other one that was going just as hard. 0:13:38.240 --> 0:13:40.560 We had all the English boys on our bu and 0:13:40.640 --> 0:13:42.560 so they were singing Swing Low and that was really 0:13:42.600 --> 0:13:44.240 pissing off the people at the front of the bus 0:13:44.280 --> 0:13:46.560 and they was singing two to my and it was 0:13:46.720 --> 0:13:51.439 just just absolute cacophony. There were there were these random 0:13:51.520 --> 0:13:53.800 group of like four women in the octagon who just 0:13:53.880 --> 0:13:56.840 waved our bus down and jumped on and jumped on, 0:13:56.920 --> 0:13:59.240 and we were like why how they didn't know that 0:13:59.280 --> 0:14:02.040 it was going to the It wasn't marked pretty obvious, 0:14:02.280 --> 0:14:03.960 and so they got on and as soon as they 0:14:03.960 --> 0:14:06.760 got on they were English too. They started singing, and 0:14:06.880 --> 0:14:10.120 so it was just a wild I've never seen anything 0:14:10.160 --> 0:14:12.439 like it. There was one of the dB reps it 0:14:12.600 --> 0:14:13.920 was down there and I was talking to him and 0:14:13.920 --> 0:14:16.719 he's like, I've never seen anything like this before. It 0:14:16.800 --> 0:14:20.320 was one of the most outrageous pre parties. Mitch James was. 0:14:20.240 --> 0:14:22.400 In there and he say, he sang for an hour. 0:14:22.480 --> 0:14:24.120 He sang for an hour. I've got a song stuck 0:14:24.200 --> 0:14:27.080 in my head. He was doing this like mega mixed 0:14:27.080 --> 0:14:31.080 mash up thing with all these songs that everyone knew 0:14:31.120 --> 0:14:34.400 and you were just everyone was singing the entire time. 0:14:34.760 --> 0:14:37.080 So he's playing, he's wearing a warrior's jersey, there's a 0:14:37.120 --> 0:14:39.360 giant screen behind him with the new South Wales Cup 0:14:39.400 --> 0:14:42.040 game going on. It was just like it. 0:14:42.120 --> 0:14:43.960 Was everything and there was Pokey's out in the back, 0:14:44.640 --> 0:14:45.280 something for everyone. 0:14:45.400 --> 0:14:47.600 There was genuinely something for everyone. 0:14:47.680 --> 0:14:47.920 It was. 0:14:48.640 --> 0:14:50.400 It was actually outrageous that that. 0:14:50.400 --> 0:14:53.320 Whole day and we're gonna do it all again again. 0:14:53.360 --> 0:14:56.280 At the Postman's lead, I need another week, I think, yeah, yeah, 0:14:56.320 --> 0:14:57.840 I'm going to have to take a couple of days 0:14:57.840 --> 0:15:00.800 this week just to recalibrate. But post league in Glenfield, 0:15:00.840 --> 0:15:02.160 you don't need to book and I sing to roll 0:15:02.240 --> 0:15:04.640 up first two hundred there to get a free lift 0:15:04.720 --> 0:15:07.440 eed and park. That's the key. It's a long way 0:15:07.440 --> 0:15:08.800 to go if you're on the shore, so you get 0:15:08.800 --> 0:15:09.760 a free left to the ground. 0:15:11.000 --> 0:15:14.280 No Richie Mo this week, but it wasn't missed on 0:15:14.320 --> 0:15:14.800 our bus. 0:15:15.120 --> 0:15:16.960 He's away. He brought the house down him, Shannon for 0:15:17.000 --> 0:15:19.560 him and Shannifer is al singing Bliss was probably just 0:15:19.560 --> 0:15:21.200 one of the great videos you'll ever see, and on 0:15:21.280 --> 0:15:24.000 viral it got picked up globally and they said check 0:15:24.040 --> 0:15:26.880 out richiem Wan are partying within New Zenger Fans after 0:15:26.920 --> 0:15:28.960 the game after the winner was like, oh no, no, no, 0:15:29.120 --> 0:15:32.120 you got that wrong. This is this is two hours before. 0:15:33.640 --> 0:15:37.520 This was on the way. So I'm look partly excited, 0:15:37.560 --> 0:15:40.440 partly terrified to do it again this weekend at the 0:15:40.440 --> 0:15:43.440 Postman's League. So yeah, if you haven't madjor plans yet, 0:15:43.440 --> 0:15:45.720 come down and see us. Then after that we did 0:15:45.760 --> 0:15:47.480 go to the game, we're going to take a quick break. 0:15:47.480 --> 0:15:48.880 When we come back, we're going to try and piece 0:15:48.920 --> 0:15:51.560 together what actually happened because my memory is a little 0:15:51.560 --> 0:15:52.040 bit vague. 0:15:52.080 --> 0:15:52.800 Yeah, same. 0:15:54.800 --> 0:16:02.880 Goodness, all right. We showed up to the game and 0:16:03.880 --> 0:16:05.680 we were sat in the deep corner where they usually 0:16:05.680 --> 0:16:09.000 parked the buses, so the opposite end of the zoo. 0:16:09.040 --> 0:16:11.960 The zoo, Yeah, which for parts of the game, like 0:16:12.000 --> 0:16:15.400 sitting behind the post at a rugby game, is real 0:16:15.440 --> 0:16:18.200 head to miss. Like for some parts of it's it's 0:16:18.440 --> 0:16:20.800 really really intense, but for some reason, all of the 0:16:20.840 --> 0:16:23.720 actions seemed to happen on the posts down the far end. Yeah, 0:16:23.760 --> 0:16:25.360 and I think the biggest thing that like, yeah, it 0:16:25.440 --> 0:16:27.880 was a one point thriller, it didn't really feel like 0:16:28.000 --> 0:16:30.280 that at the game. It kind of felt like it 0:16:30.320 --> 0:16:32.200 was a little bit of a fizzit. 0:16:32.320 --> 0:16:34.520 Well, I I was too busy trying to fit my 0:16:34.600 --> 0:16:38.320 ass in between your ass and Matt heath ass. Because 0:16:38.800 --> 0:16:41.920 something's up with those temporary seats. They are so small. 0:16:41.960 --> 0:16:46.880 It's like they are a primary school design. Yeah, it's 0:16:46.920 --> 0:16:49.440 actually physically we're not. No, We're in a group of 0:16:49.520 --> 0:16:53.160 huge people. No, And we struggled to fit nine people 0:16:53.200 --> 0:16:55.400 in a row, I know, no seats. 0:16:55.120 --> 0:16:56.800 And because it's so cold and the everyone's going to 0:16:56.840 --> 0:16:59.080 puff a jacket off. Yeah, so I had to take 0:16:59.080 --> 0:17:00.800 the jacket off at one point because I couldn't flip 0:17:00.880 --> 0:17:02.680
