Speaker 4: just beats the living crap out of you.
Speaker 1: Never had to do that, but I always had to
Speaker 1: do the stand up and sing a song was a
Speaker 1: big thing.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah.
Speaker 1: It was like either at the hostel you'd have to
Speaker 1: do it, or because people always thought that that was
Speaker 1: going to be really humiliating for whoever had to do it.

Speaker 1: Richie is on the bus. We had that because we
Speaker 1: used to drive from Wyman to Timaru or wherever the
Speaker 1: woolshed party was, and we're kids. We had a van.
Speaker 1: We put about twenty of us in this van and
Speaker 1: when it pulled up, everyone knew the Waimos are in
Speaker 1: town because we filled it with like speakers underneath the
Speaker 1: floor of each of the each of the seats. One night,
Speaker 1: one of our Tom Cochran was driving and he was
Speaker 1: because he wasn't drinking, because he was sick. So we
Speaker 1: pull up just how you're picturing that us pulling up
Speaker 1: in that bus. We pull up to this party and
Speaker 1: timorrow he's the first one out of the vand he
Speaker 1: hops out and throws up on.
Speaker 4: The floor and crown.
Speaker 1: Holy shit, the Wims have just showed up. This sober
Speaker 1: driver just jumped out and chunned its powerful some actual
Speaker 1: sporting news.
Speaker 3: Our dear friend Lulu Sun continues to.
Speaker 1: And I hate this, but this is every every newspaper
Speaker 1: at the moment's trying to shoehorn the same gag in
Speaker 1: that the sun is shining at Wimbledon.
Speaker 4: I thought it would have been the rise of the sun.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the rising sun. Yeah, I don't mind that anyway.
Speaker 1: She has one again surge to her second round comeback
Speaker 1: over another qualifier, Julius.
Speaker 3: Ever, the long short of all.
Speaker 1: Of that is she's into the next round, the third round,
Speaker 1: and she's earned three hundred thousand dollars for her efforts, which.
Speaker 4: Is that's a good that's that's a solid day's work.
Speaker 3: That's good eating. Yeah, that is good eating.
Speaker 1: I'm very excited that we've got I love when we've
Speaker 1: got individual athletes like this, a tennis players.
Speaker 4: Yeah, jump on board wholeheartedly, and hey, you need to
Speaker 4: you need to you need to wind this back this
Speaker 4: next update here.
Speaker 3: The tall Blacks, yes speak Croatia. Yeah. I did not
Speaker 3: see that coming.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and didn't because yesterday you absolutely laid into them. No,
Speaker 4: they're going to get a pant scene.
Speaker 1: I thought they were, and right up until about three
Speaker 1: minutes left to go they were losing as well. They
Speaker 1: went on like a twelve point run to close it
Speaker 1: out at the end. It was outrageous. I was watching
Speaker 1: it this morning. Shaye Iley absolutely cooked this dude. His
Speaker 1: name is Avitsa Zubatz. They call him Zubuka. He plays
Speaker 1: for the Clippers and the NBA is seven feet tall.
Speaker 1: He actually scored thirty points in this game, but old
Speaker 1: shae Iy took him to the hoop, went reverse layup,
Speaker 1: and the other guy went stumbling out of bounds, stood
Speaker 1: on his foot in his shoe, cam flying off. I'm
Speaker 1: shy early, I'm posting that everywhere. I'm getting a photo
Speaker 1: of that printed out that's up on my wall. So yeah,
Speaker 1: they beat Croatia. Croati had two or three NBA players.
Speaker 4: And so they need to beat Slovenia tonight with Luka
Speaker 4: Doncic and they're in.
Speaker 1: The throw to the knickt round. Of course there's still
Speaker 1: more qualifiers, I believe.
Speaker 4: And at this point, at which point are the New
Speaker 4: Zealand Olympic Committee game, Well it would have.
Speaker 1: Been now, yeah, because there's no way that they thought
Speaker 1: they were going to be I mean, I didn't think
Speaker 1: they were going to beat Croatia.
Speaker 4: How many flights is that? You've got how many people
Speaker 4: in in a full basketball squad, including you know, backroom staff,
Speaker 4: you've got your coaches.
Speaker 3: You'd be twenty five to thirty probably that is.
Speaker 4: You know when you're seeing Tom Walsh, you're seeing Tom
Speaker 4: Walsh and as trainer yeah too, and you've seen some
Speaker 4: of his kit, you know, Zoey Hobbs maybe a trainer
Speaker 4: in physio yeah, and your coach mate Max four yeah,
Speaker 4: and so basketball they're like they're going to have that
Speaker 4: twenty five.
Speaker 1: So there's like twelve, there's twelve in the playing day squad,
Speaker 1: So then there'd be big like fifteen to eighteen and
Speaker 1: the roster. Yeah, plus you'd have a coach, two assistants, physiers.
Speaker 4: Like I mean, I'm happy to do a whip around.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I mean if they if they qualify, then yeah,
Speaker 4: I'm happy.
Speaker 1: Everyone was riding them off. They were like, Pira, Cameron's
Speaker 1: not you know, the team's not going well. Blah blah
Speaker 1: blah blah blah.
Speaker 4: You watch you watch New Zealand basketball in the next
Speaker 4: ten years though, Yeah, you look the amount of kids
Speaker 4: that are playing at the moment and kids that are.
Speaker 1: Are so good.
Speaker 4: Oh, we've got outrageous athletes. Yeah, you just watched That's
Speaker 4: I reckon. That's a space to I think.
Speaker 1: I think it's a population thing though for us, because
Speaker 1: in basketball, as long as the hoop is ten feet
Speaker 1: off the ground, the tallest people on earth are going
Speaker 1: to have an advantage.
Speaker 3: And so it's just a percentage.
Speaker 1: We've only got five million people, So what's the percentage
Speaker 1: of dudes that we have that are over seven feet?
Speaker 1: I think there's only one and he is in the NBA,
Speaker 1: Steven Adams. So I think that's by that logic though,
Speaker 1: China should be way better than they are. Yeah, social India,
Speaker 1: sociald India. I think they've had one player apiece in
Speaker 1: both those two places. But anyway, Yeah, they play Slovenia tonight,
Speaker 1: which is Luka Doncic in them, so that's going to
Speaker 1: be pretty tough tough ass. Yeah.
Speaker 4: I'm also in the NBA. I would have heard last
Speaker 4: couple of days that the Celtics have got the for
Speaker 4: sale sign out. So two weeks after winning the NBA,
Speaker 4: a group that owns them have said we're up for sale.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Bill Simmons was on his podcast and I can't
Speaker 1: understand why they'd want to sell it right now, like
Speaker 1: it's never going to be higher.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think if you read into the details, I
Speaker 4: don't know, if you read that article around, you know
Speaker 4: they've got two of the most expensive players in the
Speaker 4: NBA three hundred million season for the next four years.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and the NBA has just changed the way that
Speaker 1: the salary cap works, where you pay way more if
Speaker 1: you go over. But they're in this weird position where
Speaker 1: they because they drafted all of their players, they can
Speaker 1: pay them way more, but it also pushes them into
Speaker 1: this massive tax bill.
Speaker 4: Yeah, because over their wage bills over a billion US
Speaker 4: and you know, like, this's got this luxury tax over
Speaker 4: there that is looking punishing. But I mean saying that
Speaker 4: the guys who bought it, they bought it for three
Speaker 4: hundred and twenty million back in two thousand and two,
Speaker 4: and the reports then where they're massively.
Speaker 1: Overspent two hundred million, Yeah, three.
Speaker 4: Hundred and three million, twenty million, and it's now the
Speaker 4: rumors Art's going to sell between five and six billion.
Speaker 3: I think that, Yeah, that's insane.
Speaker 4: But as one of those legacy franchises is that the Yankees,
Speaker 4: there's the Celtics, you know, the Lakers, The Lakers is
Speaker 4: about five or six, a handful of Kid Dallas, Cowboy
Speaker 4: New Zealand Warriors, yes, kind of the you know the
Speaker 4: way Cattle Chiefs. There's only a handful of these legacy
Speaker 4: brands that are worth that much.
Speaker 1: So I mean, yeah, there's I think a couple of sold,
Speaker 1: A couple of franchises have sold in the last sort
Speaker 1: of five years or so. I think the Suns might
Speaker 1: have been the most recent one that was around the
Speaker 1: three billion dollar mark. Yeah, and that's the Phoenix Suns,
Speaker 1: which is like whokires.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Michael Jordan got out of the Wizards, didn't he
Speaker 4: the Hornets, Hornets. Yeah, he owned the Hornets. Yeah. So yeah,
Speaker 4: I mean, god, it's stack's eye ordering amounts of money.
Speaker 4: I can't even figure out how much five billion is.
Speaker 4: How much more than three hundred million? That's one hundred million,
Speaker 4: that's a thousand million million.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so it's six of them, six thousand million. I
Speaker 4: don't know, man, a lot of coin. It's a lot
Speaker 4: of coin. But yeah, that's yeah, they're out obviously their
Speaker 4: investment company because most of the people that have got
Speaker 4: these franchises now are either investment companies or kind of
Speaker 4: the hedge fund consortium and sortiums. Yeah, they've got a
Speaker 4: few names in there because they can put out.
Speaker 1: Because what they'll do is they'll put together a group
Speaker 1: of about five or six dudes, we're all worth billions each,
Speaker 1: and then also a rapper or you know, play like
Speaker 1: who's our man, not Derek Jeter, the other guy who's
Speaker 1: banging Jayal anyway, A rod Alex Rodriguez, he's in one
Speaker 1: of them. A Dwayne Wade owns part of I think
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Timberwools.
Speaker 4: You've got to got to have a straw man.
Speaker 1: Jay Z.
Speaker 3: Everyone was like, oh, jay Z owns the Nets. No,
Speaker 3: he didn't know.
Speaker 4: He's got a season's passing about a one percent. Shit,
Speaker 4: that's exactly what he had.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's like, I don't know, So it'd be funny
Speaker 1: to find out who it'll probably be Bill Simmons. It'll
Speaker 1: be like, yeah, six billionaires and Simmons now own the Celtics.
Speaker 4: I kind of find it's so it's so bizarre going
Speaker 4: into the world of American franchises and sports and then
Speaker 4: coming back to New Zealand and looking at a rugby
Speaker 4: union that's lost forty million dollars or whatever, and you've
Speaker 4: got scratching around to pay players one hundred grand to
Speaker 4: play rugby professionally. It's like, oh my god. With such
Speaker 4: small fry, who owns the Blues. They're all still owned
Speaker 4: by the rugby Union of majority Is, but you can
Speaker 4: have certain private investors like Islanders have. I think Mark
Speaker 4: Allis has got a few people together and I think
Speaker 4: they own forty percent. Rugby union will still got the
Speaker 4: controlling percentage of all of them.
Speaker 1: Been that off.
Speaker 4: They tried to and it didn't work.
Speaker 1: If you had private owners like that'd be way more
Speaker 1: incentivized to make the game get big.
Speaker 4: Bull Foley in here and rename the Oakland Blues the
Speaker 4: Auckland Blue Knights.
Speaker 1: So who would own it? So Mark Allis I think
Speaker 1: would be hands down the owner of the Highlanders. Who
Speaker 1: would be the Crusaders? Maybe Richie would buy it. I
Speaker 1: don't know.
Speaker 4: There's a guy there's the Polar Capital guys. He based
Speaker 4: down there, you know the guy bought he You need
Speaker 4: like a local rich dud who just got a lot
Speaker 4: of cash.
Speaker 1: Now, but I'm saying who would you want to Oh
Speaker 1: so no, who's who's your front guy? Yeah?
Speaker 4: So basically the Dean's family would buy the franchise and
Speaker 4: he would front it.
Speaker 1: Dean's family, Yeah, absolutely, that'll be down there in christ.
Speaker 4: Church, Wellington. You want Bob Jones to buy the Hurricanes.
Speaker 4: You didn't ever do it because he's a league man. Yeah,
Speaker 4: but then you're to front it. You want tana Umaga.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah? Who for the Chiefs? Dwayne Monkey?
Speaker 4: Oh my god if Flamee Monkely is headed that up.
Speaker 4: But you need maybe you need the Beaver, Patrick Hogan,
Speaker 4: the Hogan family, Oh, Hogan family, the horse racing You
Speaker 4: need a big horse racing family to buy the Chiefs.
Speaker 4: And then Led by Marty Holler, Dwayne Monkely and Beaver. Yeah,
Speaker 4: as they can sort him.
Speaker 1: There and then the Bluesbee Carlos, Yeah, it'll be the
Speaker 1: mobra Michael Michael Jones, the Zuru guys to buy it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they will try and put Ali Williams out as
Speaker 4: the front man, but he's already doing the So Michael Jones,
Speaker 4: you've got to throw You got to throw the iceman. Yeah,
Speaker 4: chuck the iceban in there. H. I think they were
Speaker 4: sort of look again, we've sold rugby in this country.
Speaker 1: We weren't even to I have had my sources children
Speaker 1: held hostage for quite some time. Now are they back? Okay?
Speaker 4: Is this back on the table?
Speaker 1: It's back on the table now. Do they have as
Speaker 1: many fingers as they did when I got hold of them, No,
Speaker 1: they have as many ears. No, But this is their
Speaker 1: last chance, right and you've got your sources. My sources
Speaker 1: have come through with what I believe to be the
Speaker 1: team raiser is going to name them.
Speaker 3: The beauty of this is you.
Speaker 1: Listening at home will already know by the time you
Speaker 1: hear this what the actual team was, So you'll know
Speaker 1: the fate of these children when you hear it.
Speaker 4: So basically they're kind of complicit in the torture.
Speaker 1: Yes you are, Okay, after the break, we're all going
Speaker 1: down together. After the break, I'm going to reveal Razors
Speaker 1: team for twenty twenty four's first Test match against England.
Speaker 1: All right, I have does my last my sources last chance. Okay, Right,
Speaker 1: So if you get this wrong, people get hurt. Like
Speaker 1: are we talking concrete slippers situation?
Speaker 4: Look, I don't want to say what's going to happen
Speaker 4: in people. All right, Okay, hit me with it and
Speaker 4: I'll I'll give my feedback.
Speaker 1: Here's what my sources are telling me that raises about.
Speaker 1: And now again the front row we are I'm doing.
Speaker 1: We're recording this at ten thirty two in the morning,
Speaker 1: by the way, So I don't know what the team is,
Speaker 1: but I have heard that it's going to be Ethan Dgrout,
Speaker 1: Cody Taylor, Tyrell Lomax. Yep. Can't argue with that. I
Speaker 1: can't argue with that either, because there's a story about
Speaker 1: Ethan Dgrut in the paper and how excited he is
Speaker 1: to play.
Speaker 4: He's the only Highlander in the team. I think he's
Speaker 4: going to play. Okay, Yep, Patrick two blot even chart
Speaker 4: in one news.

Speaker 1: Knee concerns. If he says he's sweet, he's sweet, to
Speaker 1: raise it. Scott Barrett yep, dog Roll yep. Captain Obviously,
Speaker 1: I'm hearing Ethan Blackadder at six. Do you know what?
Speaker 4: I would not be surprised given the links he has
Speaker 4: to the Crusaders and to Razor.
Speaker 1: Yes, but on form you would probably go femal Anyway,
Speaker 1: I'm hearing Blackadder, Dalton Papalali at seven. Yeah, the incumbent,
Speaker 1: I guess Artie Savier at eight. Yep. I'm hearing TJ.
Speaker 1: Petanata to start. That is what I'm hearing to start.
Speaker 1: I've read stories saying that Raza has challenged him to
Speaker 1: make this his second you know, does his second opportunity.
Speaker 1: We need a leader out there, okay.
Speaker 4: Yeah, only the only I'd look at that. They've got
Speaker 4: plenty of leaders, I'd say, Christy. No, well, I was
Speaker 4: going to say, I was going to say Cortes at
Speaker 4: mat has he got the combination with Damie mackenzie or
Speaker 4: do they do that for the second test if they
Speaker 4: win the first?
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know any that's what I'm hearing, TJ.
Speaker 1: I'm hearing Damien McKenzie at ten. I don't think anyone
Speaker 1: would argue with that. I'm hearing Princess Teleia at eleven yep,
Speaker 1: I'm hearing Jordie Beart at twelve yep. Ricca you only
Speaker 1: at thirteen? Yeah, Sevu Reese at fourteen yeah, and Bowden
Speaker 1: Beirut will be the fifteen. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Look, i'd ain't mind net. I mean, I hear there's
Speaker 4: a few injury issues with jebe the butt. Oh was
Speaker 4: it with Caleb Clark. He's apparently there's a few nickeles here.
Speaker 4: So that backline, I could I can't argue with that.
Speaker 4: That one. That's some pretty dangerous outside backs. And Talia
Speaker 4: and Reese very slippery, a very slippery, and.
Speaker 1: The bench are more to mighty Williams flitch and you'll
Speaker 1: to both weight yep, Summer Penny female will be coming
Speaker 1: off the bench. Fin Lay Christy obviously, Stephen Peter Fetter
Speaker 1: and Antonine Lennard Brown will be covering the back line.
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's half back and blindside for me are an issue.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you think they'll be wrong?
Speaker 4: That could be banana skins Wow. Not for the children's sake, Yes,
Speaker 4: for the children's sake.
Speaker 1: I hope you're right. I hope I'm right now something
Speaker 1: that we started a few weeks ago that I am
Speaker 1: thoroughly enjoying. And it's something that you do when whenever
Speaker 1: you're at the pub where you're on a road trip,
Speaker 1: it's just sitting around talking about old teams. Yep. This
Speaker 1: is a segment I like to call throwback Thursday and
Speaker 1: today I would like to throw back to the last
Speaker 1: time that the All Blacks played England at Terrisbrook, which
Speaker 1: was two thousand and four, which is way twenty years ago. Yeah,
Speaker 1: twenty years ago and way later than I thought. When
Speaker 1: I asked Joe Jury in the office, he said I
Speaker 1: would have been like ninety. No, it was two thousand
Speaker 1: and four.
Speaker 4: The last time England played in Donedin was twenty years No.
Speaker 3: No, at Carrasbrook.
Speaker 4: At Carasbrook. Yeah, I loved Karrasbrook.
Speaker 1: Back in the day. My auntie and uncle used to
Speaker 1: live up on the hill, so from their kitchen you
Speaker 1: could see the game. You couldn't really see what was
Speaker 1: going on, but at halftime they'd let people into the ground.
Speaker 1: So me and my cousins are going to sit outside
Speaker 1: and then wait till half time and then just go
Speaker 1: and watch the second half.
Speaker 3: I've told the story before.
Speaker 1: One day me and my dad went down to Kerasbrook
Speaker 1: painted our faces. He went ridden black for Canterbury and
Speaker 1: I went on the other way around. He went blue
Speaker 1: and yellow because I went ridden black. But we grabbed
Speaker 1: like fence paint and it's set. By halftime. We turned
Speaker 1: around and looked at each other and neither of us
Speaker 1: could move our faces.
Speaker 4: So we had to get that off with turpentins.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was like honestly, it was like an hour
Speaker 1: in the bathroom, like over the laundry sink, just scrape.
Speaker 1: You basically had to scratch it off. Couldn't come off.
Speaker 1: So anyway, the long short of that is check your
Speaker 1: paint for your paint your faces. Here's how the teams
Speaker 1: lined up on that day back in two thousand and four. Yeah,
Speaker 1: thirty six thousand people and attended. Sir Graham Henry was
Speaker 1: the coach. Sir Clive Woodward the coach for England. The
Speaker 1: All Blacks team reads Dusty Mills, Mulliena, Doug Howlett on
Speaker 1: one wing, Tara Umanger, Dan Carter at second five. Oh,
Speaker 1: Joe kor Thokor was on the other wing and Carlos
Speaker 1: Spencer Man.
Speaker 4: That's a hot back line. That is as a hot
Speaker 4: hot back line. Spencer Lock, Carter Umanger, Howlett Mullyina.
Speaker 1: The frosted tips of Justin Marshall and the number nine Jersey,
Speaker 1: Xavier Rush, Richie McCourt, John o'.
Speaker 4: Gibbs, Big John o' gibbs. Yeah, there's a throwback. Yeah,
Speaker 4: we'll keep the throwbacks. Keith Robinson beg a throwback. It's
Speaker 4: the chiefs manner there, Gibbs and Robinson.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Chris Jack was in there as I loved when
Speaker 1: we had Chris Jack and Ali Williams is our locking
Speaker 1: combination there. I think that was at the two thousand
Speaker 1: and seven World Cup. I was like Norm Maxwell was
Speaker 1: in the rotation as well. So these guys are two
Speaker 1: meters tall, just pass them the ball because every time
Speaker 1: they fall over, we make two meters.
Speaker 3: So why don't we just pack the team out all black?
Speaker 3: Number one thousand.
Speaker 1: Carl Hayman was in the front row alongside Kevin Mirlamu
Speaker 1: and Case Mues.
Speaker 3: A hell of a team.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, look, it's hell of a back line.
Speaker 4: I'd say that probably not the strongest food power.
Speaker 1: Front row, Yeah, front row good, Carl Hayman, Kevin Melamu
Speaker 1: case muse. The hits keep coming on the bench as well.
Speaker 1: Andrew Whore, Tony Woodcock, Jerry Collins, how's he on the bench?
Speaker 4: I know, I know, gibbs keeping out Jerry Collins.
Speaker 3: Just keep the Jerry Collins.
Speaker 4: Maybe that was that must have been a shower situation,
Speaker 4: like I can't pick s Graham. He Andry's like I
Speaker 4: can't pick drop your pants because John O. Gibbson won
Speaker 4: every time he is packing heat. That's the only reason
Speaker 4: I can think of. I've seen Jerry Collins with.
Speaker 1: That bull whip as well.

Speaker 1: the back line, and Slam and Sammy two to Poe
Speaker 1: was on there as well.
Speaker 3: And hell of a team.
Speaker 1: Back in two thousand and four.
Speaker 4: Here is that is a hell of a team. A
Speaker 4: lot of characters in that team. Yeah, a hell of
Speaker 4: a lot of personalities in that team.
Speaker 1: You know, even Tanner, who you know is sort of
Speaker 1: like a statesman of New Zealand. But he did hit
Speaker 1: Chris Massoy over the head with a Handburg he did.
Speaker 5: And you've got you know, Carlos Spencer, Justin Marshall Dougie style,
Speaker 5: Dougie style, got Keith Robinson who post career got gotten
Speaker 5: a bit of a scrap at a campground. Currently young,
Speaker 5: a young Dan Carter, Yeah, Andrew Whare, Jerry Collins of Brian.
Speaker 1: Keller Yeah, and Slam and Sam Yeah. As a hell
Speaker 1: of a team, Dan Carter. In this game, it was
Speaker 1: thirty six points to ten. By the way, Dan Carter
Speaker 1: scored twenty one points, three conversions, five penalties. Oh and
Speaker 1: it was only.
Speaker 3: Blues players who scored tries.
Speaker 1: Carlos Spencer, Joe Rocathoko and Doug Hawlett all dotting down
Speaker 1: on the other side of the ledger. Josh Lucy was
Speaker 1: the fullback. Yeah, James Simpson. Daniel Tendall was still on
Speaker 1: the team around here. He did well himself, didn't he.
Speaker 1: Mike Tindall, Mike Tendall and Mike Katt were the cent
Speaker 1: appearance and so Mike Catt what got run over by
Speaker 1: Jonah in ninety five? Yeah, he was still playing in
Speaker 1: two thousand and four, still trying to make up for it.
Speaker 1: The white Jonah Ben Cohen was on there when they
Speaker 1: labeled him the white Jonah Relac.
Speaker 4: Can you say that the other way though?
Speaker 1: What the brown bean color? Yeah? Yeah, anyway, I don't
Speaker 1: know if you can. Gay Charlie Hodgson was the first
Speaker 1: five eight, Matt Dawson was the half back, Big Laurie
Speaker 1: Delo at number eight, Mick Keel deak Hell openside flaker,
Speaker 1: Chris Jones, Danny grew A cock At Locke, Simon Shaw,
Speaker 1: Julian White, Steve Thompson, Trevor Woodman. The bench is basically.
Speaker 4: Steve Borthwick, c current coach.
Speaker 1: He was on the bench, so do you Yeah? He was.
Speaker 1: He was there all those days, all those years ago.
Speaker 1: So that was the team that the last time that
Speaker 1: they played at Carrasbrooket. I think they only played a
Speaker 1: handful of games after that. I feel like the last
Speaker 1: game was against like Fiji or something.
Speaker 4: Ars Brooklyn eighty sixteen. That's that's a bit of a.
Speaker 1: Hiding there was a hider. Yeah, do we read anything
Speaker 1: into that? Should we say, Steve Borthwick, last time you
Speaker 1: were here and you played against the All Blacks Anddneeda
Speaker 1: how to go?
Speaker 3: You got dusted? Does that hang over you? Will you
Speaker 3: think about that to know?
Speaker 1: If we come across Steve Borthwick tomorrow, we'll remind him. Okay,
Speaker 1: you do it. I'm not big enough because the All
Speaker 1: Black's absolutely toled him. Yeah. So that was the team
Speaker 1: back in two thousand and four, and that was another
Speaker 1: throwback Thursday. All right, we're going to take a quick break.
Speaker 1: We have six of your feedbacks to get through, and
Speaker 1: yours please right after this.
Speaker 2: Yours please brought to you by leader.
Speaker 3: As I mentioned six of them to get through, we'll
Speaker 3: get straight into it. Are they nice?
Speaker 4: Are they nice? I'm feeling a bit vulnerable today and
Speaker 4: they're nice?
Speaker 3: Okay, that's fun. First caller, play nice your spars.
Speaker 4: I got a question for him and I and I
Speaker 4: used to be a boner.
Speaker 1: Mm I'll recently be a feed of my dog bones.
Speaker 6: Really smell like milk?
Speaker 2: Have you ever noticed that?
Speaker 1: Anyway?
Speaker 4: Fuck that counter?
Speaker 3: Uh yeah, I was, in a formal lifetime a boner.
Speaker 4: What's the calcium, isn't it? I presume so it's the
Speaker 4: calcium and bones. Is it the calcium and milk?
Speaker 3: I will say, though, because I used to.
Speaker 1: If you're the way the freezing works works will work,
Speaker 1: then I'm sure it's the same today. There's like a
Speaker 1: band saw at the top of the table and there'd
Speaker 1: be a swarman standing there and head cut it into
Speaker 1: manageable chunks, goes down the convey about you pick it up.
Speaker 1: If you were closest to the saw, you would just
Speaker 1: get showered in bone dust, which smells like burning here.
Speaker 1: It was a revolting and it just gets into into
Speaker 1: your paws. You'd have like a here nit type situation
Speaker 1: on face mask. No, not a face mask, although if
Speaker 1: you had a beard, you would have to wear like
Speaker 1: a they called it a snood, you know, like the
Speaker 1: skiing masks that you have where it's only your eyes
Speaker 1: sticking out. So no one, no one ran a beard
Speaker 1: or anything like that. But just the smell of burning
Speaker 1: bone that would just soak into your paws all over
Speaker 1: your clothes. I gotta be honest, never sniffed the bones
Speaker 1: while I was there, just just cut them out of
Speaker 1: the animals.
Speaker 4: That's all I did ask a question. Not really sporting.
Speaker 4: It's sports adjacent, but the.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I don't know. I don't I've never noticed
Speaker 1: the similarity. But I presume, like you say, it's the calcium.
Speaker 1: Here's a fun fact, not sports related. White dog shit.
Speaker 1: You never see it anymore. When was the last time
Speaker 1: you saw white dog shit? You probably haven't seen it
Speaker 1: a long.
Speaker 4: Time, in a long time. I just presumed it was
Speaker 4: frozen stuff.
Speaker 3: No, it's not frozen.
Speaker 1: That was because they used to put way too much
Speaker 1: calcium and dog food and the dogs couldn't process. It's
Speaker 1: when they shudded out.
Speaker 3: It was just white chalk like chalk.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: So yeah, a great Dane used to chalk up the lawn.
Speaker 7: Heart.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right. White dog shit. You don't see it anymore,
Speaker 1: you know. We dogs another call here?
Speaker 8: Yeah, gooday, guys, it's Billy Long here. What about Lebron
Speaker 8: dressed as the Michelin man. I'm sure they're baked through
Speaker 8: an interesting one. I still don't think I could let
Speaker 8: it b Yeah, fust Cagory.
Speaker 4: Nah, this is the I still don't think you'd beat him.
Speaker 4: He dressed up in whatever. No, like even the michelin Man.
Speaker 4: He's still six foot nine or whatever, and he's still
Speaker 4: got the athletic ability. He's just in a big fat suit.
Speaker 3: And the other thing is I'm built like the michelin Man.
Speaker 1: So it's not really even. It's just yeah, it's just
Speaker 1: leveling the playing field a little Bit's funny you mentioned
Speaker 1: that my dad just missed me and said eight year
Speaker 1: old Michael Jordan beats ten year old Lebron James.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know about that. I don't know about that.
Speaker 4: I don't know about that because he was a late bloomer,
Speaker 4: Michael Jordan. He was in college when he because he
Speaker 4: was regarded as being too short, and then in college
Speaker 4: he grew like a half a foot.
Speaker 1: Yeah, famously didn't make his high school team.
Speaker 3: Yeah, whereas Lebron was in the NBA at the same age.
Speaker 3: So I think, Yeah, anyway, we digress. Get again. Another
Speaker 3: caller here at yours please.
Speaker 1: A fowlers Drew Peacock here, just filling up from an
Speaker 1: yeah about sports being on too late to watch?
Speaker 4: What about kids sports on a Friday evening for a
Speaker 4: hard work at work?
Speaker 6: It's on a few besies at the yard.
Speaker 4: The flowers and you've got to go and heard seven
Speaker 4: cats around the field for forty minutes master three Saturday morning.
Speaker 7: Anne, AnyWho, fuck Corraka.
Speaker 3: That's a real digg.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I didn't expect that it's South Auckland. I suppose
Speaker 4: North Hamilton County Counties.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Look, that's obviously coming from a coach because there's a
Speaker 4: lot of young ripper teams kind of you know your
Speaker 4: J six, J seven, J eight.
Speaker 1: They're moving them to Friday.
Speaker 4: Nights and as a parent, it rules, Oh it does,
Speaker 4: because they open the bar in the clubhouse and the kitchen,
Speaker 4: so on a Friday after a week's work, you just
Speaker 4: roll down the clubhouse, get a jug, order three burgers
Speaker 4: and you're sorted. You don't have to worry about cooking
Speaker 4: dinner or anything. Saying that, I feel for Drew Peacock
Speaker 4: there because he's got a coach, and I always feel
Speaker 4: sorry for those coaches because it is like hurting fourteen cats,
Speaker 4: especially that younger ripper age with it as you know
Speaker 4: which direction they're running, you can't. And the worst thing
Speaker 4: is because when I do it with cricket, you look
Speaker 4: on the sideline everyone's crushing beers and you're like fuck yeah.
Speaker 1: And this is the thing is like he long week,
Speaker 1: you would have gotten through all sorts of you back
Speaker 1: to the yard. Everyone's ripping into the beers and you're like,
Speaker 1: I gotta go a coach. It's the same feeling as
Speaker 1: when you used to get held back at school and
Speaker 1: all your mates throughout playing at lunchtime and you're inside.
Speaker 4: But saying that, good on you, Drew for volunteering to
Speaker 4: coach the team, because it's actually quite hard to find
Speaker 4: people to commit to that. So you're doing a good
Speaker 4: community service even though you don't like karaka God bless
Speaker 4: you another caller here, your.
Speaker 7: Splits, all the negativity. Just get along?
Speaker 4: Okay, Yeah that's true. And why can't we all get along?
Speaker 4: It's famously said in the La Riots way back in
Speaker 4: the day, why can't we just all get along? On
Speaker 4: when Rodney was his name, Rodney Rodney King, Rodney King. Yeah,
Speaker 4: he said why can't.
Speaker 1: We just all get along?
Speaker 3: I don't know what that was in reference to, but
Speaker 3: I appreciate this intiment.
Speaker 1: I think it was more around.
Speaker 4: You know, there's a lot of funks South Canterbury and
Speaker 4: now there's a lot of fuck lower heart, fuck upper heart.
Speaker 4: And and just recently from Drew Karka. I mean, I
Speaker 4: think that's what he's meaning. Why can't we just all
Speaker 4: just get along?
Speaker 1: It was never an option. It was never an option.
Speaker 1: A couple more here we go back to the phone
Speaker 1: lines call of yours please, Hey.
Speaker 6: Fella, has just been watching that Americans Hearts the Dallas
Speaker 6: Cowboy Cheerleaders doco. I'm sure mainly for women in short shorts,
Speaker 6: but actually quite enjoyed it. Anyway, raises a question, do
Speaker 6: the ac C need cheerleaders or with Matt he's just
Speaker 6: pissed around them too much anyway, Fucking Northotager.
Speaker 1: I agree with that one. I hate north Otager.
Speaker 4: That's pretty much.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I've always looked at that doco on Netflix and just
Speaker 4: bypassed it because I know my my partner is going
Speaker 4: to walk in on me and I'm going to be
Speaker 4: watching a doco on the Dallas Cowgirls. So I'm waiting
Speaker 4: for a time when potentially I'm on my own, and
Speaker 4: that hasn't been for the last couple of weeks.
Speaker 1: I'm the same as yours, like my missus out to
Speaker 1: play nipple or something like afterward because she's out for
Speaker 1: a drink and I'm at home, that's when I watch
Speaker 1: my sports stockers.
Speaker 4: But also if you don't watch all of it, she's
Speaker 4: going to go onto Netflix and say, you know things
Speaker 4: you've been watched. It's the first one and you've only like.
Speaker 1: Halfway through it. What are you watching this for? I
Speaker 1: love I just love sports.
Speaker 4: Yeah no, but getting back to the cheerleaders up like,
Speaker 4: I don't think a commentary team really needs.
Speaker 3: It would be another world first, though it would be a.
Speaker 4: Pointless world first, as the raising the point around Matt
Speaker 4: Yes would be a potential issue as well, But he
Speaker 4: is a happy, happily in a relationship and a long
Speaker 4: term relationship now, so I think that would negate any pist.
Speaker 4: I mean Fan Caddie, one of our producers.
Speaker 1: Also in a long term relationship, but he is Pythagoras.
Speaker 4: He's always running an angle.
Speaker 1: That's great nickname. What I thought of it? Um, alright,
Speaker 1: no they call here's.
Speaker 8: A fact check.
Speaker 7: Tid Ge Lane was correct to Greek freaks. To Bradis
Speaker 7: and the I'm not even going to try and say
Speaker 7: their last names. Only one of them is a freak,
Speaker 7: but they're both freaked by blood relation. One's just living
Speaker 7: off the other ones fame, I.
Speaker 4: Thought, because the reason is that what you meant when
Speaker 4: you said two freaks, because I remember watching the All
Speaker 4: Stars weekend in both there was both Antis. There was
Speaker 4: two of them.
Speaker 3: Well, not to reverse fact check, but there's actually three
Speaker 3: of them.
Speaker 4: Are they all in the NBA?
Speaker 3: They were?
Speaker 1: Yeah, but the other two like only Yannis is good. Also,
Speaker 1: not to check it again, but it's the Nessus, Notas,
Speaker 1: and the other one is called Costas. Anyway, the long
Speaker 1: short of it is the other tour only in the
Speaker 1: NBA because they used as bait to try and get
Speaker 1: Jannis onto your team, so they'll keep but like but
Speaker 1: like Bronnie, but like Bronnie. So literally, the Golden State
Speaker 1: Warriors just signed I think the Nessus to their team
Speaker 1: and they like, here, boy, yeah, you want to play
Speaker 1: with your brother here, boy, well your brother with Stiff Cary.
Speaker 3: Wouldn't it be awesome if you came played with Stiff
Speaker 3: Carry as well?
Speaker 4: He's good dude, great guy.
Speaker 1: Jeseus a good three point shooter game, a whole lot
Speaker 1: easier for living living in San Francisco with you invest
Speaker 1: in some tech companies. Yeah, but yeah, anyway, it doesn't
Speaker 1: make the job any easier for the tourlbacks if they
Speaker 1: were to come up against them. Yeah, but I don't
Speaker 1: think you can say that just because your brother's with
Speaker 1: the Greek freak, that you're some kind of freak as well,
Speaker 1: you know.
Speaker 4: And Greece you'd be a freak, I reckon because they're
Speaker 4: all over seven.
Speaker 1: Foot yeah true. Yeah. I mean if if the NASA
Speaker 1: Center too good Bo walked in here right now, we'll
Speaker 1: be like, freak, why are you so tall? You freak? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't mind it, all right, that'll do us for today.
