Speaker 1: the Agenda Podcast for Tuesday, the twenty seventh of August.
Speaker 2: The Agenda Podcast, the home of Sporting nonsense and clap Trap,
Speaker 2: brought to you by an Export Vulture.
Speaker 1: Morning Lane, you just mentioned a good point. We haven't
Speaker 1: addressed the weightlifting challenge from the Olympics.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm headed to La. Well.
Speaker 1: No, you did successfully manage to clean and jerk the
Speaker 1: lightest successful lift at the twenty twenty four Olympics. Yes,
Speaker 1: which was a snatch by a forty nine forty nine
Speaker 1: kilo woman.
Speaker 3: Under forty nine under forty eight. I think, well, yeah, but.
Speaker 1: That they'll suck down like fighters and then balloon back
Speaker 1: up to about fifty kylers.
Speaker 4: Congratulations, thank you. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I mean, you know what, there was a lot of
Speaker 3: doubters out there. I hear people in the office saying,
Speaker 3: don't do it, You're gonna hurt yourself.
Speaker 4: I had people in the office coming up to me
Speaker 4: be and like, don't let them do this. Yeah. I
Speaker 4: was like, what do I care? Yeah, I'd love to
Speaker 4: watch him blaze back.
Speaker 3: Anyway, When was the last day I've never seen people
Speaker 3: care so much. But I was gonna like I was
Speaker 3: going to snap my neck. But you know what, I
Speaker 3: crushed it. Suck on that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, congratulations, real, real drive by on the athlete out
Speaker 1: of Guam.
Speaker 4: I don't know if she she.
Speaker 1: Had deserved that straight but she didn't deserve that. But
Speaker 1: all the hat is the city couldn't do it. He did,
Speaker 1: and I felt like you had a bit left.
Speaker 4: In the tank.
Speaker 3: I had a little bit, a little bit, to be
Speaker 3: honest with you, I did have a bit of it
Speaker 3: twingy back because I guaring my technique was shocking. It
Speaker 3: was all back, no arms.
Speaker 4: Just muscled it.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So I reckon I could have got to I you
Speaker 3: could have chucked another ten of fifteen on there.
Speaker 4: Well.
Speaker 1: I think that's how much she did lift for the
Speaker 1: cleaning jerk was about seventy seven killers.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I reckon I could have done it again.
Speaker 1: I feel like a few people have misconstrued what we
Speaker 1: were trying to test here because people have been saying
Speaker 1: to me, that doesn't mean he would have won a
Speaker 1: medal at that.
Speaker 4: That's not what we're trying to put It was.
Speaker 3: Pretty can I could you beat? Yeah?
Speaker 4: Could you beat any Olympian anything.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and yeah, I guess that, or like if you
Speaker 1: fired off a lucky shot with the pistol.
Speaker 3: Back he shot. Just everyone else has got a pistol.
Speaker 3: You've got a shotgun.
Speaker 1: See one of your ballets has to hit it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but anyway, Yeah, you did it. Congratulations, Thank you.
Speaker 3: You can see that on on the Instagram. Is it
Speaker 3: still there? Has it been taken down? No, it's still okay,
Speaker 3: go and watch the first And.
Speaker 1: Speaking of social media, the podcast are now on YouTube,
Speaker 1: so you can watch our beautiful, beautiful faces. While we're
Speaker 1: doing this. You can join the hundred of people around
Speaker 1: the country.
Speaker 3: It's exploding though it started with seven.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and including my mum and my dad two of those,
Speaker 1: so Lauren and Lisa shout out to you.
Speaker 4: Was Lisa, and I think I've figured out.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm always looking to make this podcast a
Speaker 1: little bit better, the a SEC a little bit better,
Speaker 1: and I've been looking for tips as to how to
Speaker 1: grow a YouTube audience. There is a new fastest growing
Speaker 1: YouTube channel on God's Green Earth right now, and it
Speaker 1: is from Cristiano Ronaldo. He has recorded the most successful
Speaker 1: YouTube channel launch ever after giving viewers the impression that
Speaker 1: he and Georgina Rodriguez had secretly been married.
Speaker 4: I don't think that's.
Speaker 1: Why people we were watching it like, I feel like
Speaker 1: this reporter was really looking through their own lens. But
Speaker 1: Cristiano Ronaldo started his own channel was it's called you
Speaker 1: are and the U looks like a stylized C for
Speaker 1: Cristiano Ronaldo. But for some reason it's to you. I
Speaker 1: don't know if it's a you know, Portuguese thing. You know,
Speaker 1: fastest reach one hundred thousand subscribers it only took fifty
Speaker 1: five minutes, and then the fastest to surpassed one million,
Speaker 1: which took ninety minutes. It is currently sitting at forty
Speaker 1: seven million subscribers.
Speaker 3: I would say that it's about past week from Ronaldo.
Speaker 3: Do you know why he's the most famous person on
Speaker 3: the planet just about I you know, in terms of sports.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he would be. I mean he is the most
Speaker 1: followed account on Instagram, I believe exactly.
Speaker 3: So it's a transfer, you just need to transfer across.
Speaker 4: Do better better than forty seven million?
Speaker 3: Do Betty pussy Well?
Speaker 1: I think a massive cap on that is that he
Speaker 1: does the whole thing in Portuguese, him and his wife,
Speaker 1: and then it's overdubbed, so they've got voice actors who
Speaker 1: were overdubbing over the top of it.
Speaker 4: The first video that I watched, it had fifty.
Speaker 1: Something million views, was them doing a like how well
Speaker 1: do you know each other? Where they write down questions
Speaker 1: and then they hold it up. They do not know
Speaker 1: each other very well. Christiano and his business. Does that
Speaker 1: shock you?
Speaker 3: No, it doesn't shock me at all, because I don't
Speaker 3: understand why he's doing it. Was he I mean, is
Speaker 3: he bored? He's playing in Saudi Arabia and any billions
Speaker 3: of billions and billions of dollars? M what's he doing?
Speaker 3: Is he bored? Is he's sitting in his compound and
Speaker 3: Saudi like going, ah, fuck on board, I'm going to
Speaker 3: start a YouTube channel.
Speaker 1: I suspect that his wife being in every one of
Speaker 1: these videos had a little bit to do with it.
Speaker 4: See, I reckon.
Speaker 1: He was like, look, my plate's full, I got you know,
Speaker 1: I got training. I'm still playing. Yeah, you know, I don't.
Speaker 1: Even though he's playing in a bit of a half
Speaker 1: ass league, you know, he's still a professional earth he
Speaker 1: still has to train. And I reckon. She would have
Speaker 1: been like, can we fire up a YouTube channel here.
Speaker 1: That's probably why it's not just called the Christiano Ronaldo
Speaker 1: YouTube channel. So anyway, how do we translate that to
Speaker 1: our own YouTube channel?
Speaker 3: Ah?
Speaker 4: Do we get Christiano Ronaldo's wife on?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 3: I think so.
Speaker 4: Well Christiano himself.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's probably the key is to maybe
Speaker 3: get Linel Missi to just join and jump on our side.
Speaker 1: He smashed Leno Missi's YouTube channel numbers.
Speaker 3: So Lenar Missi will be like, oh, dudey, we're gonna
Speaker 3: see him back, which you Geese guy's got me again?
Speaker 4: How do I get back at him? Yeah, join forces
Speaker 4: with the acc.
Speaker 3: We'll never see it coming. Ronaldo will never see it coming.
Speaker 1: No, I'm sure they've had meetings where our names have
Speaker 1: come up and said, look, I don't think they're a
Speaker 1: massive competitor to us. You wait, unless they managed to
Speaker 1: sign the greatest football player of all time then maybe.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So yeah, watch out for Christiana Ronaldo in the next
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. I've reached out to him. Have you
Speaker 1: send him a couple of dms in there? Yeah, but again,
Speaker 1: you know it'll take him ages to get through his
Speaker 1: d In his most followed account on Instagram. But I
Speaker 1: think eventually we'll get there. The greatest New Zealand.
Speaker 4: I've got an.
Speaker 1: Apology issue used today we went wanked on. I was
Speaker 1: gonna say wex lyrical, and then I stopped at wanked on.
Speaker 4: About Lisa and pedal.
Speaker 1: Lisa and Pedals. That wasn't the matchup yesterday. I had
Speaker 1: bad information. There's some bad actors that work here. It
Speaker 1: was Bruce McLaren was.
Speaker 4: The four Square guy.
Speaker 3: Oh, I've been a drubbing in favor of Bruce McLaren.
Speaker 3: Surely smashes Charlie.
Speaker 1: It was, But I would say it's very aspirational Bruce McLaren.
Speaker 1: I've never bought a McLaren, but I've bought a lot
Speaker 1: of stuff from four Square.
Speaker 3: What does that make Charlie a bit of in New Zealander?
Speaker 3: Is it just because you've got like he got more
Speaker 3: for me? Charlie's gouging you as well, By the way,
Speaker 3: for Squas are always more expensive than any other supermarket
Speaker 3: there is.
Speaker 1: McLaren's selling his cars for a million dollars. He's gouging
Speaker 1: you too.
Speaker 3: Ah, he's a pioneer.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but who's done more for me? Personally? I think
Speaker 1: four Square I'd argue, who's done more for the common man?
Speaker 1: I'd argue the four square.
Speaker 3: Guy, the common man.
Speaker 4: I've never seen a McLaren in Twysel.
Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure there is. I'm pretty sure one would
Speaker 3: have driven through. Have you seen it doing the bird
Speaker 3: to the four square? To the four square? Also in Techpo,
Speaker 3: which has the most prime real estate four square beautiful?
Speaker 3: Who did the town planning there?
Speaker 1: Where can you put something that's not overlooking the lake?
Speaker 1: You know, let's.
Speaker 3: Put it right in front of the lake, huge car park, Yeah, supermarket,
Speaker 3: perfect done.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it is a great four square though.
Speaker 1: Oh one of the old timers. I am back in
Speaker 1: a former life when I was a plaster around the
Speaker 1: South Canterbury region. We went out to a bloke who
Speaker 1: just it was an Auklander and he built a new
Speaker 1: little house there in Tikopos as all the houses are.
Speaker 4: Looking over the lake.
Speaker 1: Got us into a plastering job and he was telling us.
Speaker 1: We're like, oh, so you live in Auckland often you
Speaker 1: come down here. He goes, well, this is the thing.
Speaker 1: I didn't understand how airbnb worked. So I put it
Speaker 1: up for two years and it booked out every day,
Speaker 1: but every weekend between now and the end of that
Speaker 1: two years.
Speaker 4: So I've just built it memo. I can't come down.
Speaker 3: It's not a bad problem to have.
Speaker 1: I know, I booked it and I'm subletting it, and
Speaker 1: I made a lot of money of that, which is
Speaker 1: great because I wasn't making a lot as a plaster anyway.
Speaker 4: Today it is Lisa v. Pedals.
Speaker 1: If you want to know what we think about that,
Speaker 1: you can go back and listen to yesterday's podcast Controversial.
Speaker 4: Yesterday it was controversial. Where did you land on that?
Speaker 3: Pedals? More More, I do think audience is probably more
Speaker 3: badly than Lisa.
Speaker 4: You think we've got quite a pedly audience.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, you know, cricket's our it's you know, origins,
Speaker 3: and I think the audience will we'll look at that
Speaker 3: and go, you know pedals. You know, servant of cricket
Speaker 3: for over twenty's still serving New Zealand cricket o this
Speaker 3: day and Lisa sure not taking away from Lisa Carrington,
Speaker 3: Lady of the Lake, Dame Lisa go in the boat.
Speaker 3: But I just think that I think the audience, But
Speaker 3: like you said, it might be divided on the Facebook
Speaker 3: Instagram demographic divide Kirby.
Speaker 1: There's also recently by us. Anyway, we're dipping our toes
Speaker 1: back into that yesterday's lake. But you can go and
Speaker 1: have your say genuinely today it is Lisa as Padus.
Speaker 1: So go and have your going have you say on
Speaker 1: your facebooks and your Instagrams. I should pull people behind
Speaker 1: the curtain this morning. We are up against the pump.
Speaker 1: We'll get a couple of a couple of video shoots
Speaker 1: to get away this morning, so you'll forgive us if
Speaker 1: it's a truncated episode of the Gender Podcast. But with
Speaker 1: that in mind, let's take a quick break, come back
Speaker 1: talk some extual school.
Speaker 3: Line.
Speaker 4: There's a bit of news on the Rugby league front. Yep.
Speaker 1: It's news that I think is going to pass a
Speaker 1: lot of our audience off, and that is that the
Speaker 1: NRL Graham Man is the hit of the for shiators.
Speaker 1: The NRAL has come out and said that the officials
Speaker 1: got the RTS call wrong.
Speaker 3: I do you know what I feel like the NRL
Speaker 3: officials are like Catholics because you can do whatever the
Speaker 3: fuck you want and you just turn up to church
Speaker 3: and go to confessional and repent and it's all sweet. Yeah,
Speaker 3: And there's no blowback. No, so they're just trying to
Speaker 3: go we sucked it up, sorr about that, Yeah, and
Speaker 3: it's just tumbleweed until the next week and it happens
Speaker 3: again tumble and it's like, what are the what are
Speaker 3: the consequences?
Speaker 1: What are the ramifications here? Because if you get it wrong,
Speaker 1: I mean, how often has this happened this year? I
Speaker 1: was I fluctuate between being like, oh, well, why even
Speaker 1: bother telling us that you got it wrong? Then if
Speaker 1: there's no change coming, you know, like, what's the what's
Speaker 1: the repercussions for us?
Speaker 3: It just makes us angrier.
Speaker 1: It does particularly us because we feel like as a
Speaker 1: fan base that these calls are going against us, and
Speaker 1: now we've got stats to back it up. They came
Speaker 1: out and said that of the five sinbinnable offenses for
Speaker 1: high contact over the weekend, four of them were caught,
Speaker 1: and they were like, we're pretty happy with that ratio.
Speaker 1: The only one that wasn't was the Roger to eve
Speaker 1: us a shick one, and I would actually say that
Speaker 1: the Mitch Barnett one, I don't think they've got bin
Speaker 1: for that either, and he got hit so hard as
Speaker 1: eyebrows split, it's like how what other fucking wrecking it
Speaker 1: could have been, but it was quite clearly the second
Speaker 1: man into the tackle pointed the shoulder right to his eyebrow,
Speaker 1: and it's like, like we were saying after the game,
Speaker 1: he's like, you know, we wax lyrical about us at
Speaker 1: that time instead of working on about protecting the players.
Speaker 1: And then as soon as someone gets hit, it's the
Speaker 1: most egregious, like he has to come off because he's
Speaker 1: been hit in the head. Now, the rulers, you're not
Speaker 1: allowed to hit dudes in the head, and if you do,
Speaker 1: you get bin.
Speaker 4: How was that not enforced? I don't understand it.
Speaker 1: I know that our season was over anyway, but that's
Speaker 1: Roger's season done. And you know that's another head knock
Speaker 1: in the career of Roger to with us as schick
Speaker 1: there was no punishment for it. Then they come out
Speaker 1: and sort of dance on our graves afterwards, and like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I probably should have called that way.
Speaker 3: I saw a great mock letter on the ACC Instagram story,
Speaker 3: which is I'll read to you. It says here, give me,
Speaker 3: give me one moment, call it says here. Monday twenty
Speaker 3: six of August, Dean New Zealand. I hope this email
Speaker 3: finds you well. Once again, I wish to apologize for
Speaker 3: the incompetent decision making of one of our officials in
Speaker 3: your most recent fixture. The offending official has been reprimanded
Speaker 3: and stood down. Although this appears to be the same
Speaker 3: email as the one I sent you last time, it
Speaker 3: is in fact new, as you can see by my
Speaker 3: changing of the date above. Wishing also your injured player
Speaker 3: luck with his recovery. Kind regards, Graham Ansley. Analsley, head
Speaker 3: of the NRAL Elite Football Operations. As an official letter.
Speaker 1: It's like every other week. I would actually I've settled on.
Speaker 1: I would rather not know now. I don't want to
Speaker 1: know that you guys missed it, like we already know,
Speaker 1: so you come out and say, oh sorry, and then
Speaker 1: nothing happens.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 1: The other thing is like will I'm bitching about the NRL.
Speaker 1: They talk about like there's a salary cap in the league.
Speaker 1: I don't know what it is. I don't know how
Speaker 1: much the players get paid. But in the last ten
Speaker 1: years only three teams have won the minor premiership Panthers,
Speaker 1: Rooster's Storm, So how has the salary kept working. You
Speaker 1: probably couldn't say it is. The Panthers have won three.
Speaker 1: I mean they are losing players as their run continues.
Speaker 4: But I don't know what.
Speaker 1: There needs to be some sort of buddy, there needs
Speaker 1: to be an investigation.
Speaker 3: Boody investigation.
Speaker 4: Mate.
Speaker 3: Well, all the other clubs need to get smarter or richer.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because we you know the Roosters, they are proud
Speaker 1: of the fact that they've got like a millionaire, billionaire
Speaker 1: dude who's bankrolling everything. Everyone knows who he is, isn't
Speaker 1: the politis.
Speaker 5: You know what?
Speaker 3: We need some of that dirty washing money.
Speaker 4: Who are there? Saudi's?
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, although Saudi Warriors the why do you worry? Yeah,
Speaker 3: I don't know the one using on Saudi Warriors. It's
Speaker 3: got a ring to it.
Speaker 4: Saudi well fund Warriors.
Speaker 3: Yeah, gotta stick one things get in there that because
Speaker 3: I've been there forever.
Speaker 1: Would it achieve any of their goals reaching an audience
Speaker 1: of five million?
Speaker 3: Ah? No, not at all. But I mean just a
Speaker 3: bit of washing on the side. You know a few
Speaker 3: our sports washing. This is just a little left hand corner.
Speaker 3: But if they coul build off Waterfront Stadium maybe be
Speaker 3: good as well.
Speaker 4: Yeah, one hundred percent.
Speaker 1: Speaking of rugby league and salary cap routes, Tom Traboivich
Speaker 1: has offered to pay back seven hundred and fifty thousand
Speaker 1: dollars of his salary over the next few years because yeah, exactly,
Speaker 1: this is what I thought. So he was saying, I
Speaker 1: haven't played many games in the last year, last two years,
Speaker 1: well last three years. I think he's been injured, been
Speaker 1: out with injuries. So he's gone to the club and said,
Speaker 1: I'd like to volunteer to pay seven hundred and fifty
Speaker 1: k back met smells.
Speaker 4: Does smell fishy, doesn't it.
Speaker 1: The NRL has then vetoed that and said you're not
Speaker 1: allowed to You can't do it because there's a thing
Speaker 1: in the NRAL where you have to pay a player
Speaker 1: there like fear market value. It's to stop things like
Speaker 1: when Roger two of us as she came back to us.
Speaker 1: It's to stop us from paying him like sixteen thousand
Speaker 1: dollars a year. Yeah, you know what I mean, just
Speaker 1: to get him back in the team. There has to
Speaker 1: be like a fear value there. So that's why they
Speaker 1: would have vetoed it. But why if you're Tom trable
Speaker 1: ivitge would you do that. Do you believe that he
Speaker 1: just felt bad to the tune of seven hundred and
Speaker 1: fifty thousand dollars?
Speaker 3: No, No, it's something, it's something. There's something not quite
Speaker 3: right there.
Speaker 1: I think if I was to be to give him
Speaker 1: benefit of the doubt, because this would have had to
Speaker 1: go through his agent. It's not like he could just
Speaker 1: call the NRL and be like his seven hundred and
Speaker 1: fifty k. I think the agent would have looked at
Speaker 1: it is like, we could give this money, get it
Speaker 1: off off the salary cap. Yeah, potentially bring in more
Speaker 1: players under that, you know, give that money to other players,
Speaker 1: and then we can make it back up off the side.
Speaker 1: Because this is a massive PR stunt, So we can
Speaker 1: then get all these endorsement deals off the back of
Speaker 1: that best case scenario, worst case scenario. NRL vetos it,
Speaker 1: we still look like good guys, and we get to
Speaker 1: keep the seven fifty k guilt free.
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, who's going to endorse some a tax
Speaker 3: refund company.
Speaker 1: Like Well, if you look at their sponsors, it's all
Speaker 1: like tax lawyers.
Speaker 3: Right, Okay, that's it's a bit of a PR stunt,
Speaker 3: but it's a strange one. I've never heard of a
Speaker 3: professional athlete wanting to give money back. Now they've done
Speaker 3: and if they've overcharged, or they haven't paid tecks, or
Speaker 3: there's something they're trying to slap a big dead fesshion
Speaker 3: on the table.
Speaker 4: No, I do have a couple of stats here.
Speaker 1: It's because he has only played thirty games since the
Speaker 1: start of twenty twenty two on a one point one
Speaker 1: million dollar salary.
Speaker 4: It still does sound like a that But why give them
Speaker 4: money back? Fuck them?
Speaker 3: They paid you. You know they you're a piece of meat.
Speaker 3: They'll trade you in a half.
Speaker 1: One hundred percent, Like, so, why, what's where's the why
Speaker 1: the loyalty?
Speaker 4: No, yeah, that's what I don't understand.
Speaker 1: Also, a lot of a big salary is a reward
Speaker 1: for prior performance. So when he was balling out in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one, that's what most of their contract is for.
Speaker 4: It's a backpay.
Speaker 1: Like when Kobe Bryant I paid forty million dollars a
Speaker 1: year with the broken achilles. It was them saying, look,
Speaker 1: thanks for the last few years, showing other players that
Speaker 1: they're going to reward good performance. So I just don't think.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I always smell it and this could just because I've
Speaker 1: been broke my entire life.
Speaker 4: But I'm not who gives money back on purpose, you
Speaker 4: know what I mean?
Speaker 1: This was my whole thing where I didn't think Sean
Speaker 1: Johnson was going to retire, so I was like, I
Speaker 1: know he's gotten contract offers, so the hell's going to
Speaker 1: turn that money down. This one's even more bizarre because
Speaker 1: it's like you've got it, no one's asked, and then
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, can I give it back? I don't
Speaker 1: buy that he's just a good guy, you know, go
Speaker 1: and give that to a charity. Then, you know, if
Speaker 1: you don't think you deserve that money, give that.
Speaker 4: Yes.
Speaker 1: That's why I don't think this is there's more to
Speaker 1: this than meets the eye. And everyone today has been like, oh,
Speaker 1: what a great guy, hasn't he? That just shows you know,
Speaker 1: he's a loyal club man and stuff like that.
Speaker 3: I don't know that.
Speaker 1: I don't know about that. You know, give it back
Speaker 1: to your local club. Then if you don't want that
Speaker 1: seven hundred and fifty k. Have we decided, I mean
Speaker 1: we talked about it yesterday. We're going to put an
Speaker 1: embargo on the America's Cup.
Speaker 3: I like, I don't mind talking about it, Okay, even
Speaker 3: now and then if there's something juicy, if like you know,
Speaker 3: if someone's found cheating, or if someone's been caught doing something.
Speaker 1: We've been accused of chatting, we have Jimmy's Yeah, here
Speaker 1: we go, Jimmy spit Hill.
Speaker 3: Of course that's Jimmy Spittal, the fiery Ginger Australian come American.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and Grant Dalton are getting into it. Jimmy Spittle
Speaker 1: has said that there have been a lot of bugs
Speaker 1: with what the Kiwis have supplied everyone, and it's the
Speaker 1: first time it's all being used. So he's basically complaining
Speaker 1: whoever holds the America's Cup guests to decide whateveryone races
Speaker 1: in yep, and they're saying that all of the equipment
Speaker 1: that they've been given is faulty or it's about deck
Speaker 1: here it doesn't work that well. And Grant Dalton said, well,
Speaker 1: beat us and then you can do it yourself.
Speaker 3: That's so true because these a holes are the ones
Speaker 3: that remember they designed that one in Bermuda where they
Speaker 3: then we did they want if they won the preliminary
Speaker 3: they went into the final two races a head like
Speaker 3: if they wont it. They got a head start and
Speaker 3: then we ended up beating them. They it's it's that's
Speaker 3: America's Cup. America's Cap is all about if you've got it,
Speaker 3: you can do whatever you want. Make it impossible for Pete.
Speaker 3: That's why it's so hard to win. Yeah, it's the
Speaker 3: older rich guy sport.
Speaker 1: It's like, if we're in charge, we get to stack
Speaker 1: the dick entirely in our favor. And it's like, well,
Speaker 1: you guys are all playing, but this is the action
Speaker 1: on the water is far less exciting than all of
Speaker 1: the like litigation that goes on outside of the.
Speaker 3: Yeah and the slagging off. But that's good from Dalton.
Speaker 3: Didn't expect that from him. Yeah, bets, bro, you can
Speaker 3: you can do it yourself.
Speaker 1: It's like in the NBA, there's a like an unwritten
Speaker 1: rule where if you're down by like or you're up
Speaker 1: by like twenty and there's only ten seconds left in
Speaker 1: the game, you don't run off and just dunk it.
Speaker 3: I've seen clips on YouTube of there and then the
Speaker 3: fight starts yeah.
Speaker 1: And then a fight starts up, and I'm like, fuck it.
Speaker 1: If you don't want that to happen, don't get blown
Speaker 1: out by Twitter. You know, you should be allowed to
Speaker 1: do whatever you want. I'd be going off the backboard,
Speaker 1: dunking it backwards, nuts in their face the whole thing.
Speaker 3: How good would it be? The Blues can decide the
Speaker 3: rules for the Super ragby next year.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so they've got a.
Speaker 3: Mean forward pack, so they just stack the dicks and
Speaker 3: just in terms of forward play, you're only allowed three backs. Yeah,
Speaker 3: change the rules around line outs, around mauling around the
Speaker 3: human centerpede, stack everything in their favor and think they
Speaker 3: come and beat us.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then all the other teams woner bits. I
Speaker 1: don't like that I only allowed three backs.
Speaker 3: Three backs just changed the game completely.
Speaker 1: I don't like that they attached the basketball hoop to
Speaker 1: the crossbar instead of conversions, and now you get a run
Speaker 1: up and try and dunk it while some other guy
Speaker 1: tries and blocks you.
Speaker 3: Well, that's the extent of America's Cup, because you look,
Speaker 3: you look at America's Cup, so Peter Blake era where
Speaker 3: they're all just sitting on the side of the boat
Speaker 3: and he's urinating off the back and it's basically just
Speaker 3: a big old yacht with a big old sale going
Speaker 3: about ten knots and to a foiling spaceship. Yeah, going
Speaker 3: one hundred kilometers an hour. It's fucking pretty next level.
Speaker 1: Yeah, tomorrow, I've got a half back sports idea that
Speaker 1: revolves around the America's Cup and how we can leverage
Speaker 1: the advantage of us deciding what the rules are.
Speaker 4: Are we allowed to decide the format and stuff as well?
Speaker 4: Or is that?
Speaker 1: I think that's it right, Ah, we just decide what
Speaker 1: the boats look like.
Speaker 3: No, in the format, because like I said before, when
Speaker 3: America had it, when now Larry Ellison on that had it,
Speaker 3: and they gave themselves a two two race advantage. They
Speaker 3: designed the preliminary races so if they won the prelim
Speaker 3: that they went into the final two races, so it
Speaker 3: was already two nil by the time they had the final.
Speaker 4: So let's just rig it as much as we can.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so they know they decide everything, they decide when
Speaker 3: it's done. I think the Louis v. The time the
Speaker 3: Challenger Series is kind of set in stone, but they
Speaker 3: can decide they can do whatever. You can do whatever
Speaker 3: you want.
Speaker 1: I know, it's like we're gonna set the rules. So
Speaker 1: the only week and it's like going around to your
Speaker 1: rich friends places. As a kid, I just want to
Speaker 1: you know, like they want to play backyard croger, but
Speaker 1: they change all the rules so it's six it out
Speaker 1: when you're in or when they are it's like, now
Speaker 1: just go find the fucking ball and we'll keep playing.
Speaker 3: Just get another ball.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So that's why I think a lot of people
Speaker 1: don't want to go around to these rich kids' house.
Speaker 1: All right, if the Hellbergs were tomorrow, this one's been
Speaker 1: in the paper today, who would be your sports person
Speaker 1: of the year.
Speaker 4: We are in an Olympic year.
Speaker 1: But I would also say that Lydia Coe, having just
Speaker 1: won the open over there at the Home of Golf,
Speaker 1: should probably be a pretty strong contender. I think it
Speaker 1: would come down to her or Lisa Carrington, wouldn't it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would say so. But for her to back us.
Speaker 3: That's really hard for Lisa Carrington, isn't it? Because she
Speaker 3: it's like once every four years she gets to prove
Speaker 3: her worth on the world stage. They have World Championships
Speaker 3: and stuff. But when was the last time you watched
Speaker 3: the kayak in World champs So, but Lydia kay obviously
Speaker 3: every couple of months she's got a golf tournament, and
Speaker 3: she's got four majors a year, so she's on the
Speaker 3: headlines a little bit more, but still gold and back
Speaker 3: that up with an open.
Speaker 4: She can only win what she's in.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, it's say Lydia Coe. I'm going to
Speaker 3: say Lydia Coke right now, right now.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, but I've mean, what's going to change between
Speaker 1: now and the end of the year.
Speaker 3: She can win a couple more opens, a couple more majors,
Speaker 3: but Lisa Carrington's not gonna that's true. But yeah, I
Speaker 3: don't know.
Speaker 4: She wants another gold medal.
Speaker 3: But the Halbergs tend to reward Olympians that tends to
Speaker 3: be and Halberg's so dry and boring anyway. Yeah, we
Speaker 3: need to do our own one.
Speaker 1: We should start our own awards and make it funny again.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I you know what with the awards and
Speaker 3: they got I got on z B with Jason Pine
Speaker 3: to talk about this was this was before the Halberg's
Speaker 3: and I just laid into the Helbergs because I say,
Speaker 3: now they've lost touch.
Speaker 4: Of course they have.
Speaker 3: The Halbergs have lost, but in terms of it's just
Speaker 3: it's been the same format and their idea of making
Speaker 3: it interesting and God bless James mcconey go doing some
Speaker 3: bits and pieces around, but that's not going to get
Speaker 3: a whole new audiences. Mccony doing some bits with Michael
Speaker 3: Jones and stuff like that. It's actually categories. They need
Speaker 3: to involve the media more. They need to media bloopers,
Speaker 3: They need the sports bloopers. Make it into a bit
Speaker 3: of entertainment.
Speaker 4: That's all we do.
Speaker 3: Maybe we'll do our own sports awards. Yeah, yeah, so
Speaker 3: we do that same night, no night before.
Speaker 1: Because that's basically I mean, I know the Helberg is
Speaker 1: like a fundraising thing as well, but that's basically all
Speaker 1: they did. They were just like, I we'll just have
Speaker 1: a sports awards. It's not like the New Zealand Sports Awards.
Speaker 1: It's the Halberg Foundation.
Speaker 3: Right yeah, but by defaulted as New Zealand Sports Awards.
Speaker 4: Well until now.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I will have a chat with some sponsors, maybe
Speaker 3: Snacker Changy or Ultra Snacker, ching Sports Awards, Nike, Nike, Google,
Speaker 3: Our alan Stein's.
Speaker 1: Amazon, Apple. I don't know you well, but a few
Speaker 1: feelings out there. Yeah, I think it's lessa character. I
Speaker 1: think you Yeah, in the boat's got in the boat.
Speaker 1: But anyway, that's a that's a completely We've already got
Speaker 1: the greatest h Zealander of debate going on.
Speaker 3: I start another one.
Speaker 1: Don't weigh in on this one. All right, let's take
Speaker 1: quick break. We'll come back with your splits.
Speaker 2: Yours please, brought you by Leader Home of the.
Speaker 4: Just the two to get through this morning. First call
Speaker 4: of yours please, Roco and bag to lane.
Speaker 1: Good to have your beat mate.
Speaker 2: Haven't been banana boat at this time, which is good
Speaker 2: to hear. It is good to have you back to to.
Speaker 3: This is a sports adjacent podcast, and last week I
Speaker 3: felt that Matthew heath derailed a little bit.
Speaker 2: Anyway, Frank heath.
Speaker 3: Well were talking too much sport last week or something
Speaker 3: was that not only did he go to a j
Speaker 3: are we barely talk sport at all?
Speaker 4: Last week?
Speaker 1: Okay, honest, there was a lot of like communist China.
Speaker 1: There was a lot of like weirded time zones come from.
Speaker 3: Okay, there was a.
Speaker 1: Lot of famine related stuff, right yeah, just way off
Speaker 1: into the weeds, which I enjoyed.
Speaker 3: Okay, at least's one there's one listening that's that's good.
Speaker 3: Copying the couple of strays yesterday. No, they call it
Speaker 3: here yours please?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Good eight.
Speaker 5: The rugby league could take a card out of the
Speaker 5: union book. Anything that's obviously hi A should be potential
Speaker 5: yellow or you know card. Send off for the ability
Speaker 5: to be upgraded. Send them off for five minutes, wait
Speaker 5: for the social media to fire up. See what the
Speaker 5: messes say. Send them offers could have really done with
Speaker 5: those two players? Send off?
Speaker 2: Bullshit?
Speaker 3: He getting his turning left?
Speaker 4: All right? Oh left? I think it was Paul Over.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, I don't think he's sitting in an I
Speaker 1: hope he's not sitting in an inter season recording that.
Speaker 3: I like that public take to the public vote like
Speaker 3: he's got five minutes, goes to Instagram or a Facebook
Speaker 3: pole and the worm comes up on the screen, upgraded
Speaker 3: to read.
Speaker 4: Yeah where's the worm?
Speaker 3: Goun That's not a bad idea just in general for
Speaker 3: rugby and rugby leagueas go to the go to the public.
Speaker 1: But the problem is that guy didn't get bent, so yeah,
Speaker 1: it would never have gotten upgraded. You know, like they're
Speaker 1: not They're still just not going to send anyone to
Speaker 1: the bent. So it's open season on Warrior's heads. I
Speaker 1: dare say the Sharks sort of watched that last week
Speaker 1: and be like, oh, let's kill these guys.
Speaker 4: They're not going to penalize us at all.
Speaker 3: Now, what they'll do the last game of the season
Speaker 3: that will swing the other way everything in our favor,
Speaker 3: and we'll go, oh, yeah, see it's changed. Yeah, I
Speaker 3: think us hoping next year.
Speaker 4: Yeah, just keep us on the hook. All right. That'll
Speaker 4: do us for today. As I said before, we get
Speaker 4: a month and of work to get through today.
