Speaker 1: Live from the Export bing Addin Studio and brought to
Speaker 1: is always by Export Ultra the beer for here. This
Speaker 1: is the Agenda Podcast for Tuesday, the twenty second of October.
Speaker 2: The Agenda Podcast, the home of Sporting Nonsense and clap Trap,
Speaker 2: brought to you by Export a Culture.
Speaker 3: Good morning to g Lane. Morning. Is it all gone? Yeah?
Speaker 4: Good?
Speaker 3: No? No? No? How to keep breakfast with an agenda
Speaker 3: this morning? Thing? Both of us got the morning off?
Speaker 3: Who did it? Ben Hurley? I think I didn't.
Speaker 5: Having rolled Ben Hurley out, he looks like he just
Speaker 5: got out of bed to just sware him in a
Speaker 5: hoodie and it's like he's in his pajamas.
Speaker 3: Yeah he did. He did? Or did the gym this morning.
Speaker 3: We're just gonna start there. Yeah, here's the gym.
Speaker 1: I saw a dear friend of the Alternative Commentary Collective,
Speaker 1: the Lucky Ferguson.
Speaker 3: Ah, the fucking manor Express.
Speaker 1: I didn't talk to him, but I did notice because
Speaker 1: I don't thank you know's who I am. But when
Speaker 1: I went over there, we were just on this machine
Speaker 1: that was right next to where he was doing his
Speaker 1: you know when pro athletes do exercises when seen before.
Speaker 5: Yeah, weird ones that exercise muscles that you didn't think
Speaker 5: you need.
Speaker 1: Like standing on a Swiss ball and juggling and that
Speaker 1: kind of shirt. And then I realized I'd taken my
Speaker 1: hoodie off and I had worn a Black Caps shirt,
Speaker 1: and so he in his mind must have thought those
Speaker 1: guy's come over here, because I went over there and
Speaker 1: then took my hoodie off and then sat down on
Speaker 1: the machine right beside him, and he would.
Speaker 3: Have been like a fucking really handy on my head. Yeah,
Speaker 3: he didn't talk to me. I didn't talk to him.
Speaker 1: And if he's listening to this, like, I'd just like
Speaker 1: to apologize.
Speaker 3: I wasn't stalking you. Look that may have looked like it,
Speaker 3: you weren't.
Speaker 1: Definitely looked like I was honestly so close I could
Speaker 1: have reached out and grabbed his foot at one, but
Speaker 1: they kept stop. Did you have like the white ones
Speaker 1: with the stars all over it? It's like the retro
Speaker 1: y Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's what am my go to.
Speaker 1: I just work out exclusively in promo shirts.
Speaker 5: You do, yeah, And whenever you siler shirt, were think
Speaker 5: you immediately into a promo shot.
Speaker 1: It's right that I sail the shit this morning maybe
Speaker 1: and is that what I had to put the black
Speaker 1: cap shit on. Maybe we'll lucky except any of those excuses,
Speaker 1: probably not. Later on in the show, we're going to
Speaker 1: be talking to Meddi Extons. He is the captain of
Speaker 1: the Thames Valley Swamp Foxes. They won the Meats Cup,
Speaker 1: which is the Heartland Championship. Swamp pyece on on Saturday,
Speaker 1: and so I want to find out what the celebrations
Speaker 1: look like. I'm sure he's not going to admit to
Speaker 1: too much. And then yeah, just what it's like to
Speaker 1: win the Heartland Championship and whether he was to watch
Speaker 1: South Canerbury get knocked out just before they had to
Speaker 1: run into them, could have gone so very very differently.
Speaker 1: So that is later on in the podcast and also
Speaker 1: of yours please as well. But I wanted to talk
Speaker 1: a little bit about Wayne Barnes. So he popped up
Speaker 1: at the top of your newspapers today with a story
Speaker 1: about how.
Speaker 3: He had to have an.
Speaker 1: Operation to restart his heart midway through last year's World Cup. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so he's got an issue with and I've heard of
Speaker 1: this before. I forget the name of it, but it's
Speaker 1: basically where your heart rate can run away on you
Speaker 1: and it just gets too fast. There was a what
Speaker 1: do they have to do? Just give it a give
Speaker 1: it a reset. I think there's like medication that you
Speaker 1: can take. But yeah, he had to go in for
Speaker 1: an operation where A yeah, I guess it turned it
Speaker 1: off and on again.
Speaker 5: Obviously that it's fairly not very invasive, is it, because
Speaker 5: if he's doing it mid World Cup, you obviously bounced
Speaker 5: back the next day.
Speaker 3: And the other thing I was wondering is why is
Speaker 3: the story come out now? Beauty?
Speaker 1: He's got a book out. I called Wayne Barnes throwing
Speaker 1: the book and this is shown up Wayne Barn's throwing
Speaker 1: the game.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well it was the first thing that Joe Jury said
Speaker 1: out in the office, just like a will fucking this
Speaker 1: is why you know, this is why he's bloody duded
Speaker 1: us all these years. It's because in two thousand and
Speaker 1: nine he was diagnosed with this issue and then yeah,
Speaker 1: heart ran away on him last year and he was like,
Speaker 1: I can't pull out midway through the game because then
Speaker 1: there's gonna be all sorts of dramas.
Speaker 3: So he just had to go into the changing shed.
Speaker 1: And be like, look, fellas, I what a heart attack
Speaker 1: would just keep an eye on it.
Speaker 3: And yeah, the touches had to keep an eye.
Speaker 5: On Oh there is they do have a reserve referee.
Speaker 5: There is a reserve there because I've seen a referee
Speaker 5: pull the hamstring and have to go off.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, he just didn't want it because he was like,
Speaker 3: that'll be the end of my career. Was that the final? Well, no,
Speaker 3: that's the midway through.
Speaker 5: Yeah, because he did referee one of the greatest World
Speaker 5: Cup games ever, that Ireland or Black Skins.
Speaker 3: That was one of the greats.
Speaker 5: Hardly any controversial cause, actually none except the Irish believe
Speaker 5: that last penalty was the probably most controversial thing, the
Speaker 5: white lock and reach over.
Speaker 1: And now they'll be blaming it on his heart, Yeah,
Speaker 1: Barnes's heart.
Speaker 3: Yes, I thought he was going to blame it all
Speaker 3: on his shorts.
Speaker 1: So yeah, Blaine Barnes has got a book out that
Speaker 1: no one read and that's the headline that they're going
Speaker 1: with that one, the America's Cup. I mean, I am
Speaker 1: going to bear it. But this just illustrated my point
Speaker 1: as to why we don't give a fuck about it
Speaker 1: is because already Wayne Brown, the Auckland Mere is arguing
Speaker 1: with whoever the brings these things back.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and he said that it's Dalton Grant, He's the
Speaker 5: one that's in charge.
Speaker 1: He said that Auckland can't afford to host the America's
Speaker 1: Cup without a hotel bid tax, so he wants another tax. Okay,
Speaker 1: what this is the same This is the same mayor
Speaker 1: who wants to text people for using the roads despite
Speaker 1: the fact that there are no public transport alternatives.
Speaker 5: Okay, So he's basically saying, because a hotel bid tex So,
Speaker 5: anyone who comes and stays in a hotel in Auckland
Speaker 5: pays an extra what twenty bucks or something, I guess,
Speaker 5: and that's going to fund the next book America's.
Speaker 3: Cup, that's what he Reagan's I fucking doubt it.
Speaker 1: And the thing about all of these sports, like I
Speaker 1: think I said it yesterday, is like if people wanted
Speaker 1: to watch the sport. You've never heard the NRL Grand
Speaker 1: Final complaining about bid taxes or any of that shit,
Speaker 1: because people want to go and watch it.
Speaker 3: This is the problem.
Speaker 1: If you ever in a situation where you have to
Speaker 1: negotiate with the government to put on your sport, it's
Speaker 1: a clue that no one gives a fuck about sport.
Speaker 3: I like it when it was here. When it was here,
Speaker 3: it was awesome. I loved it.
Speaker 5: When it was here. The Violect was going off, Auckland
Speaker 5: was going off. It was a good time. It was
Speaker 5: a good time and it was a great vibe. Apparently
Speaker 5: we did our ass financially. Yeah, but you're right, it's
Speaker 5: really got very inclusive. You need a boat to watch it.
Speaker 3: Got to be honest.
Speaker 1: Even then, I went out last last time it was
Speaker 1: on and I was on a boat watching it.
Speaker 3: I still didn't know what was going on. It was
Speaker 3: it when we went out on our Christmas party and
Speaker 3: we came back through, what did you.
Speaker 1: Get No, I was with another company at that stage,
Speaker 1: and Bo was just standing on top of the thing
Speaker 1: is we were standing on top of this boat watching it,
Speaker 1: and the people who were genuinely into it, they were
Speaker 1: still watching the coverage on their phone. Yeah, because you
Speaker 1: need you need the graphics to be able to know, Like,
Speaker 1: it was cool watching them to turn the corners, but
Speaker 1: you didn't know who the hell was in front.
Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah, I like it, and the fact that we're
Speaker 5: the best at it in the world. We've got the
Speaker 5: best sailors. It's quite a cool thing. And those Peak guys,
Speaker 5: who are the best sailors in the world are making
Speaker 5: sweet coin and good on them, probably making more money
Speaker 5: than any of our ruggy players combined.
Speaker 3: How because no one's watching it.
Speaker 5: Well, no, it's the sponsorships for it, you know, because
Speaker 5: it's a big swinging dick competition between rich guys. So
Speaker 5: you want the best scapper of your boat, and you'll
Speaker 5: pay a lot for that. And then you've got another
Speaker 5: dick swinging comp going on between Larry Allison and Coots
Speaker 5: against the whole America's Cup with sale GP. So sale
Speaker 5: GP is basically a rival competition to America's Tap to
Speaker 5: show how dalla it is and how four years between
Speaker 5: competitions is too long.
Speaker 3: There's not enough competition. There's needs more action and certain
Speaker 3: things that we're complaining about.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and so that's when they see, let's do a
Speaker 5: sale GP with make it the formula one of.
Speaker 3: Then can we've been the America's Cup off.
Speaker 5: Well yeah, it's like combining the belts. Ye mount the belt,
Speaker 5: mount the belt and stick it all into sale GP
Speaker 5: and make it the greatest satury. But that's the but
Speaker 5: that's see, that's what Larry Ellison and Coots.
Speaker 1: Won't you see this is the administrators, man, This is
Speaker 1: no one who gives Yeah, this is what they do.
Speaker 3: That is what I was saying yesterday.
Speaker 1: Sailing is just lawsuit after lawsuit after lawsuit, and at
Speaker 1: a certain point a race breaks out and that's that's
Speaker 1: about it.
Speaker 3: Except sal GP. I know there's many lawsuits going on there,
Speaker 3: even during the race that were bloody lawsuit. Yeah, well
Speaker 3: that's yeah.
Speaker 5: These has some crashes and stuff, and but a jepardy
Speaker 5: goes on in that sale GP, which I quite like.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: My point is, fuck the America's Cup. I don't like that.
Speaker 1: You've never heard the NBA petitioning to the governor of
Speaker 1: California to put a Lakers game on, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean? Like, if people actually cared about the sport,
Speaker 1: you wouldn't have any of these.
Speaker 5: If we can't afford to host it, we probably shouldn't
Speaker 5: have been playing in the pond.
Speaker 3: That's a fucking very valid point. Yeah.
Speaker 1: All the alternative is that we whoever wins it, hosts
Speaker 1: it and fuck it.
Speaker 3: If you don't like it, beat us. Yeah, you know
Speaker 3: what I mean.
Speaker 1: How also, I guess because we can't have the most
Speaker 1: money out of all of those teams.
Speaker 3: No, no way, but they can. But what happens is
Speaker 3: you set the design.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you get two months extra on the and the
Speaker 5: designing of the boat ahead of everyone else. You decide
Speaker 5: set all the components for the boat. You so basically
Speaker 5: you decide the location. So you probably know the location
Speaker 5: well in advanced to the other team, so you know
Speaker 5: the conditions.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so there's all But that's America's Cap. That's what's
Speaker 3: all about you. It's hard to win.
Speaker 1: It's got nothing to do with actual events on the track.
Speaker 1: You know what, I think I've realized I don't like
Speaker 1: racing of any sort.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not just racing.
Speaker 1: I don't watch horse races unless I've got money on it.
Speaker 1: Even then I probably won't watch it.
Speaker 5: I think I just am off racing as a as
Speaker 5: a thing. You went about parameters. I mean once every
Speaker 5: four years, I'll watch one race.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Does that? Am I into that? I don't know.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 5: But one thing I am disappointed if America's Cap doesn't
Speaker 5: come back is and maybe it can do it at
Speaker 5: the sale GP.
Speaker 3: I always wanted to do the first on water Streak.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's right, like just nude on a jet ski,
Speaker 5: standing up on a jet ski and just hone straight
Speaker 5: across the course on a jet ski full nude.
Speaker 1: You'd want it to be dead flat, Yeah, because because
Speaker 1: you were bumps. Oh yeah, true, You're junk's going to
Speaker 1: be get a bit of moonhop direction. Also, you are
Speaker 1: going to get intercepted so hard.
Speaker 5: When the America's cap was back in the day when
Speaker 5: it was this the kind of slow boat ones, and
Speaker 5: when I was working for Zitim, I was working with
Speaker 5: the end Stables. We did the first ever all nude
Speaker 5: America's Cup supporters boat and we charted an old Mutton
Speaker 5: bird boat that having to be parked up in the Viadact,
Speaker 5: run by a couple of Southlanders who were the ruggedest thurds,
Speaker 5: like one stage women out there. Ice turned around and
Speaker 5: he was just smoking his massive bomb while driving us
Speaker 5: out there.
Speaker 3: Every on the boat's nude. Yeah, high proportion.
Speaker 5: Of girls actually, And words spread pretty quick when we
Speaker 5: joined the flotilla and we're all nude on deck drinking beers,
Speaker 5: and within like five minutes we were surrounded by police
Speaker 5: and Coastguard and escorted all the way back into the
Speaker 5: Viadact and then got off the boat and they just disappeared,
Speaker 5: like all the punters, and then it was me and
Speaker 5: Stables hiding in the bells of the boat amongst all
Speaker 5: this mutton bird fack naked, yeah, got no head clothes
Speaker 5: on by the stage, and the cops came down. They
Speaker 5: escorted us off the boat and we got a one
Speaker 5: year trespass order from the.
Speaker 3: Viaduct, like from the bars as well.
Speaker 1: Yeah what yeah, well what.
Speaker 3: How can I know just for being nude? But also
Speaker 3: you weren't nude at the viaduct, you were nude out
Speaker 3: in the harbor. Yeah, it was weird. What the fuck is so?
Speaker 1: Hold on, if I get skinny dipping, can I get
Speaker 1: trespassed from the viaduct because they fucking manage it.
Speaker 3: It was weird come up with that all? At what point?
Speaker 3: Where's that in the treaty.
Speaker 5: It's pretty funny though, getting it and the fishing boat
Speaker 5: we had that. It was literally a fishing boat ahead
Speaker 5: like a kind of a flag running off the top.
Speaker 5: There was some beer brand flag. It was like it
Speaker 5: was rugged airs and the guy driving.
Speaker 3: Was blazed the mutton boo yeah, and.
Speaker 5: We it was all free booze too on board, so
Speaker 5: unfortunately attracted a couple of homeless dudes jumped on and
Speaker 5: they were more than happy to get ned and smack person.
Speaker 3: It's an interesting day on the water.
Speaker 1: But if you're homeless dude, if you're an unhoused gentleman
Speaker 1: and you find out of an opportunity to get three
Speaker 1: person on a boat, all you have to do is
Speaker 1: get naked.
Speaker 5: Yeah, why wouldn't I do that? Let me check my schedule.
Speaker 5: So it's been done. But it wasn't a streak. It
Speaker 5: was just more of a statement, but a streak on
Speaker 5: a high powered jetski, full nude with of course, with
Speaker 5: a life jacking on with safety first one of the ones,
Speaker 5: just the shoulder ones, so it doesn't cover up too much.
Speaker 3: I think you're going to go full nude. I think
Speaker 3: you're going to go full nude.
Speaker 5: Do you know what I reckon? You'd get done that?
Speaker 5: Do you for having no life jacket before they do
Speaker 5: you for being nude?
Speaker 3: That's through the fucking book. Yeah, for the life jacket situation.
Speaker 3: Anything they could find.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you're going across the courses, Yeah, one side of
Speaker 5: the course to the other. You've got a time it right, obviously.
Speaker 5: I don't want to get in the way of the boats. No,
Speaker 5: that you've got to you want to be behind them.
Speaker 3: Like all streaks, you gotta have some match awareness.
Speaker 5: So yeah, So basically when they cross over, headed to
Speaker 5: a top mark, Yeah, across.
Speaker 3: There, behind them, behind them, Yeah, yeah, I reckon. That's
Speaker 3: a brilliant. How would they even apprehend you? They'll get you,
Speaker 3: don't worry.
Speaker 5: There's so many coastguard and like harbor master, harbor masters
Speaker 5: and police out there.
Speaker 3: But what do they do?
Speaker 1: They just pull up beside you. Yeah, what if you
Speaker 1: just keep blasting? Yeah, that would be good. Yeah, just
Speaker 1: head the head to the barrier. I actually no, you
Speaker 1: need other boats that you can DeCamp on. So basically
Speaker 1: you need to sacrifice the jet ski. Yeah, so jump
Speaker 1: onto a boat like you need to just and then
Speaker 1: have a floateteller jump on.
Speaker 3: All the boats go different directions.
Speaker 5: It's like the drag deals and coming into America when
Speaker 5: they have the nails and they have the horses that
Speaker 5: go over here.
Speaker 1: Yeah, or the final scene of Fast and Furious where
Speaker 1: a million cars come out of the garage and I
Speaker 1: don't know which ones.
Speaker 3: Wor Yes, that's what we need to do. So you
Speaker 3: need to hit, need to get to a bunch of
Speaker 3: other skis.
Speaker 1: I know what you need to get is that there's
Speaker 1: a place down on the waterfront by swashbucklers there and
Speaker 1: it's got the people park their boats and it's like
Speaker 1: fifteen stories high with full full of boats, like a
Speaker 1: library of boats. You get there, you fill that thing
Speaker 1: with jet skis, so they chase you in the garage.
Speaker 1: Door goes down, comes back up, and there's a hundred
Speaker 1: of us all on a jets, all nude. We just go.
Speaker 1: Good luck finding the one of us that did it.
Speaker 1: That's a brilliant idea. Yeah, well that's the only reason
Speaker 1: I'm upset. The American's Cap is in back salpiece a
Speaker 1: bit hard.
Speaker 5: I think because he's so many boats, you got lots,
Speaker 5: there's so much chaos in that one. I'd worry that
Speaker 5: I'd get sliced in half where there's just two boats
Speaker 5: going uper courses. And also I think it's the America's
Speaker 5: Cap deserve a bit of nudity.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's.
Speaker 1: I think it's that'd be there'd be some pill clutch
Speaker 1: and going if you did that.
Speaker 3: That's brilliant idea.
Speaker 1: All right, let us take a quick break and when
Speaker 1: we come back, Tim's Valley Captain mediex ins joints us.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Well, on the.
Speaker 1: Weekend, the Heartland Championship was taken out by the Thames
Speaker 1: Valley Swamp Foxes thirty seven to twenty nine at Boyd
Speaker 1: Park and SEATTLEHA against Mid Canterbury.
Speaker 3: I made a bit of money off that game.
Speaker 1: And joining us fresh after celebrations is the captain Maddie Exton. Mate,
Speaker 1: we can see there on the zoom. Have you got
Speaker 1: a bit of a shiner? Is that is that the
Speaker 1: last trophy from the game?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 6: Good a man, This is actually a little bit of
Speaker 6: friendly fire. The cops probably in the first twenty minutes
Speaker 6: came into cleaner ruck and tracked me on the way through.
Speaker 6: So yeah, when it happened, the first thing I was
Speaker 6: thinking was like, oh no, that's going to be stitches.
Speaker 4: That will take me out of Saturday night.
Speaker 1: So so how have the celebrations been? Obviously, you guys
Speaker 1: won on on Saturday, and yeah, what what did it
Speaker 1: look like on Sunday?
Speaker 3: Have the celebration has been since then? Yeah?
Speaker 6: It was really good obviously, as you leader's all finally
Speaker 6: don't want to think about about the Sunday. But you
Speaker 6: kind of have to be organized enough to have something
Speaker 6: really so you can tell partners what you have to
Speaker 6: and all that. So we just thought of a wholesome
Speaker 6: party bus around the around the region, around the valley
Speaker 6: would be it would be cool. Got a bit of
Speaker 6: a tickie tours, so we stopped off on a few
Speaker 6: pubs we went to. We went to Teadle Thames and
Speaker 6: Pidor spit of a loop around and you know, we're
Speaker 6: luckily enough to have the Meads Cup on board and
Speaker 6: kind of got on got on on it with the
Speaker 6: locals and had a few beers and yeah it was
Speaker 6: really good actually.
Speaker 3: And what shape as the Meads Cup?
Speaker 1: And right now because we saw after hawks Bay won
Speaker 1: the Old Shield last year, you know it was in
Speaker 1: a bit of disappears.
Speaker 3: There is the Meads Cup and good Nick.
Speaker 4: Well no it's not.
Speaker 6: But we kind of got it like that, like we
Speaker 6: had to go filling up, you know, because you always
Speaker 6: want to s so how many beers you can fit
Speaker 6: in it? And it's just leaking like a sib so
Speaker 6: like oh you boys in South Canby have been treating there,
Speaker 6: but mean.
Speaker 5: Ah, yeah, I six South Canterbury to do that. Kind
Speaker 5: of thing and disrespect the trophy.
Speaker 3: Was it made? Was there a bit of a relief.
Speaker 5: To see old Mid Cannibury knock South Canterbury out in
Speaker 5: that semi because they've been a really formidable team for
Speaker 5: five years now.
Speaker 6: Yeah, they had and I've just been dominant the whole
Speaker 6: way through and credit to them.
Speaker 4: I mean we had a crackit them in twenty one in.
Speaker 6: The final down there if the meats Cup and and
Speaker 6: man they put probably twenty or thirty on us that
Speaker 6: day and they've just kind of been untouchable.
Speaker 4: So yeah, to see.
Speaker 6: Mid Canibury get up like we're aesthetic, you know because
Speaker 6: we get the home got home final. Yeah, but I
Speaker 6: mean no matter who you play in the final, they
Speaker 6: don't get there by chance, right, So we knew that
Speaker 6: we're in for it. And a team like Mid Canbary
Speaker 6: they can show they play for eighty minutes and they
Speaker 6: don't give up. You know, if you put a bit
Speaker 6: of pressure on teams, they tend to roll over on
Speaker 6: seventy minutes, but not those boys.
Speaker 1: So yeah, they definitely didn't roll over in that Finally,
Speaker 1: that was very hard fought. What's so the scoring has
Speaker 1: been massive season is it. Have you noticed anything different
Speaker 1: about this season Heartland from the from the previous seasons.
Speaker 1: Every game the over under for total point has been
Speaker 1: said at like fifty odd almost sixty. Is there something
Speaker 1: about the style of footy that's being played?
Speaker 4: Or I think anyone likes defense.
Speaker 6: That it's strange that you've got really good players all
Speaker 6: the way through, you know, guys who have played a
Speaker 6: lot of NPC Super footy, or maybe they just come back,
Speaker 6: you know, they're going to play a few more seasons
Speaker 6: before they hang up the boots. So you've got there,
Speaker 6: and then you've got your your classic kind of Heartland
Speaker 6: homegrown boys that are probably starting their journey, so it
Speaker 6: can be a little bit all over the show. And
Speaker 6: then you've got, you know, a few weeks to prepare
Speaker 6: for it and just check everyone in and go for it.
Speaker 6: So you can get these games where you score amazing tries,
Speaker 6: but then you might not catch a kickoff, you know,
Speaker 6: you turn it over and then all of a sudden
Speaker 6: you're under the post. Two months later, you're like, oh,
Speaker 6: you probably saw from the case final like over time
Speaker 6: it was like forty six forty four.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, some of that.
Speaker 4: Just kind of you know, yeah, amazing games.
Speaker 5: So you're saying there that you know kind of teams
Speaker 5: potentially just get thrown together. You guys are Heartland champions,
Speaker 5: So it means next year you get to get a
Speaker 5: horn at the Ramfully Shield in Taranaki.
Speaker 3: Does that How does that change it?
Speaker 5: How does that changed summer for the Swamp Foxes, you know,
Speaker 5: because a bit of an earlier, earlier start.
Speaker 6: Well, I mean, I was lucky enough to be around
Speaker 6: for the Red Challenge when we played Otago down there
Speaker 6: and got called into it, and we had I think
Speaker 6: two trainings on a field in Wahoe that had really
Speaker 6: had lights.
Speaker 4: I think we had to show the horses off.
Speaker 6: It done like a line out session, and then we
Speaker 6: walked through some some set plays and we've got on
Speaker 6: the plane and went down and yeah, I think at
Speaker 6: half time we're up maybe by three points or something.
Speaker 6: And then we scored another drug, another penalty, and I
Speaker 6: would like to say we're in it for sixty months and.
Speaker 4: Then put in there, but I don't think that will change.
Speaker 6: To be fear, We've got a message from our coach
Speaker 6: is saying enjoy some of the boys. You know, we'll
Speaker 6: be in touch. But you can't stress it too much. Hey,
Speaker 6: you've got to let the boys kind of relax into that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you got to pass on your apologies to my
Speaker 1: apologies to your coach as well, because I actually asked
Speaker 1: him if he could come on this morning as well.
Speaker 1: But then we had to bump him for you because
Speaker 1: we had a caller call into the podcast last week
Speaker 1: and he said that he he gave us a hot
Speaker 1: tip that we should all bet on the swamp Foxes
Speaker 1: this weekend to win the Mets Cup because he saw
Speaker 1: you eat a banana in two bites.
Speaker 3: Do you know who would have sent that in?
Speaker 1: And how do you respond to the allegations that you
Speaker 1: can eat a banana in two bits?
Speaker 6: Well, I mean, I'm on competitive, but I'm probably not
Speaker 6: gonna be on there.
Speaker 4: Maybe on Sunday around the boys. I sound like there's
Speaker 4: a snitching camp.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it does. I've gotta be honest.
Speaker 1: As soon as we heard that, I was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm loading up on the swamp Foxes and that's all on.
Speaker 1: He had some success, Yeah, I had a bit of success. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we got a week gambling thing going on here. And

Speaker 1: carry the bags for a round of golf.
Speaker 3: And I've been, I've been.
Speaker 1: I'm from South Canbrary, so I've been riding South Canterbury
Speaker 1: home this whole season. As soon as they got tipped up,
Speaker 1: I was like, spipe be it against Mid Canterbury.
Speaker 3: Fuck med Cannibury.
Speaker 4: Man, I mean occurred some mcnbury.
Speaker 6: Like you know, after the final and that doesn't get
Speaker 6: your way, you feel pretty down. But those boys, they
Speaker 6: came to half the match, they got around it. They
Speaker 6: were bloody singing and dancing on tables, enjoying it. And
Speaker 6: you know, you don't mind when you kind of lose
Speaker 6: to good teams, well you know for a better teams
Speaker 6: winning and you get around them, you have a beer.
Speaker 6: And I kind of felt like that on said they night,
Speaker 6: so like, no, those Canary boys are good boys.
Speaker 1: And then you had the Sunday obviously a bit of
Speaker 1: a tikey tour on Sunday. What is there anything else planned?
Speaker 1: I mean you can't let the party die. Surely is
Speaker 1: there anything on teed up for Friday? Bit of a

Speaker 6: you know, we go go for a week games against
Speaker 6: New Zealand, Moldy Select and the Barbers.
Speaker 3: Yeah.

Speaker 6: be able to run the troops and you know, get
Speaker 6: a few invites out there.
Speaker 3: Nice maybe that good stuff.
Speaker 5: Man, keep doing what you're doing with all that that

Speaker 6: out because that was at halftime when he did his.
Speaker 4: All right, yeah, yeah, he was supposed to do it
Speaker 4: at the Stuart.

Speaker 6: the Union had promised him that his son could run
Speaker 6: the ball out, right, They pushed Harper to halftime and
Speaker 6: then you know, Brett's sons around the ball out which
Speaker 6: is cool.
Speaker 4: When they came on half time, did his thing and
Speaker 4: kind of stole the shows.
Speaker 6: We were down I think by maybe a try and
Speaker 6: he's doing cartwheels and are kind of cracking up and like, boys,
Speaker 6: we need energy like that.

Speaker 2: Brought to you by Leader Home of the Lap.
Speaker 1: Think it's about four to get through today, first caller,
Speaker 1: yours please?
Speaker 7: All right, a bit of good oil for you lads.
Speaker 4: First in the.
Speaker 7: Story is apparently South Kenterbury is still in the mix
Speaker 7: for a chairchampionship this year. Tim Mumber pick Elliott has
Speaker 7: been called on the Wellington team for this weekend's final.
Speaker 5: So up South Canterbury, Well, I mean, do you do
Speaker 5: that well, well, yeah, why not?
Speaker 3: Okay, you do it.
Speaker 5: He's been blaming South Canbury all year and he's just
Speaker 5: got to come and play the final for Wellington and
Speaker 5: they short of Hooker.
Speaker 3: I don't know if you remember.
Speaker 1: Two weeks ago they released the entire all back squad
Speaker 1: back into the NPC and I wrought hevoc on the playoffs.
Speaker 3: There are teams that are in there that shouldn't be.
Speaker 3: There are teams that are out that shouldn't be.
Speaker 5: I think the right two teams are in there now though,
Speaker 5: I think that sorted itself out because Werington qualify top.
Speaker 3: They plenty have had a good, good run. I feel like.
Speaker 1: Desmond should have had a They just ran into a
Speaker 1: buzz or and a juiced up Cannerbury squad. Yeah that's true,
Speaker 1: but yeah, I can't see why not I did. I
Speaker 1: heard that that voicemail this morning and I had a
Speaker 1: quick google. There's no no confirmed reportings on the mainstream site.
Speaker 3: So but that was that was hot oil.
Speaker 1: Yeah you heard it here first on their gender podcast
Speaker 1: this week come to for the scoops. So that could
Speaker 1: be huge, huge for Wellington. Another caller here, yours pase.
Speaker 4: Okayis have you even a great Tuesday here.
Speaker 3: Thanks.
Speaker 8: I just wanted to come on here and congratulate the
Speaker 8: AUKLANDFC and the supporters on the inaugural game and victory
Speaker 8: in the A League over the Prison or looking forward
Speaker 8: to the rivalry match between the Phoenix and them, just
Speaker 8: on them.
Speaker 4: I wanted to.
Speaker 8: Introduce maybe an idea to some Morgan exvans here. Since
Speaker 8: the Phoenix are doing the tops off, what an Aukland
Speaker 8: go a see further and do pants off in the stands?
Speaker 3: Sorry, anyway, very rue.
Speaker 8: I like it.
Speaker 1: Yep, yep, just pants off? Swing it around your head
Speaker 1: now the issue you're going to run into. And I
Speaker 1: did think about this at the ground because I've had
Speaker 1: the same thought where I was sitting.
Speaker 3: I said yesterday there was a bunch of kids trying
Speaker 3: to get a thing started. A Mexican wave meanscan wave.
Speaker 3: You would need everyone to.
Speaker 1: Be on the same page. It's like jumping off a
Speaker 1: cliff into the sea at the same time. Times three
Speaker 1: to one. We all go at the same time, because
Speaker 1: if only one of you goes, you're getting kicked out.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Also, if you've got jeans and you've got a belt
Speaker 5: on the bottom of your pants, and you're swinging that
Speaker 5: around your head.
Speaker 1: You're collecting people in the head. If someone bumps into
Speaker 1: you and you've got your pants around your ankles, you're
Speaker 1: gonna tip over. It's just there's a few problems there.
Speaker 5: Well, maybe just remove your pants completely and the hole
Speaker 5: stand does helicopters?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, Oh I thought you meant waving there
Speaker 1: no no pants around your head? DELI with you, right, Okay,
Speaker 1: it's quite cold at some of those games.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 3: It would certainly great some noise that'll go.
Speaker 1: Viral for sure, and they can't kick us all out.
Speaker 1: I think that's something that's important to remember.
Speaker 3: You gotta remember that pack pack mentality.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it would be quite problematic with the kids
Speaker 1: around again, that's sort of the first thing I'm thinking of.
Speaker 3: But yeah, I think pants off makes sense. Yeah, well
Speaker 3: what or we.
Speaker 5: Are about to take stock of about ten thousand steed
Speaker 5: of the ship hats.
Speaker 3: Yep, and obviously the port supporters.
Speaker 5: Of you know, they're all about the port. I think
Speaker 5: their logo actually has a sailor on it with a
Speaker 5: sailor's hat. Great, could we supply them with some seat
Speaker 5: of the ship hats. Some expert ultra steed of the
Speaker 5: ship hats. But maybe it should be you know when
Speaker 5: the sailors used to leave and they used to raise
Speaker 5: their hats they go off to war.
Speaker 3: Maybe it's something like that. So it's like oh yeah, ah.
Speaker 5: That and everyone takes their hats off and waves the hats. Yeah,
Speaker 5: so maybe it's something like that. It's kind of classier,
Speaker 5: but classier than getting your kid.
Speaker 3: Off and we turn a profit. That's a brilliant idea.
Speaker 1: This is and this is what Auckland FC one I
Speaker 1: talked to Ellie Williams about fifteen times last week. He
Speaker 1: said that because people kept asking him about like, oh,
Speaker 1: is there going to be this charge or that charge
Speaker 1: or whatever, and every time he's just like, look.
Speaker 3: We're just gonna let the fans sort of yeah, it
Speaker 3: don't I can't engineer that shit. Nah.
Speaker 5: It's like when New Zealand cricket back in the day
Speaker 5: they tried to start arriving to the Barmie Army and
Speaker 5: they started the mad Caps and they got some comedian
Speaker 5: to come and lead the mad Caps and it was
Speaker 5: all created by its all created by New Zealand Cricket
Speaker 5: and it sucked hard. People don't want that, and that's
Speaker 5: what with the Beige Brigade we started with Paul Ford
Speaker 5: and I. We were so outraged by that that when
Speaker 5: we started the Beige Brigade, we started selling the BEI shirts.
Speaker 5: And the first hundred dollars we made, we sent it
Speaker 5: to New Zealand Cricket with a letter saying, her, Dear
Speaker 5: New Zealand Cricket, this is who we are.
Speaker 3: This is what we're about.
Speaker 5: Supports about passion, not fashion, all this kind of hero
Speaker 5: and here's our first hundred dollars we've ever made to
Speaker 5: put towards some decent marketing initiatives, not stuff like this
Speaker 5: dodor When we listed all the ship mark like mad Caps,
Speaker 5: all this other crap, and they wrote back, and it's
Speaker 5: in the acc book.
Speaker 3: They wrote back about a.
Speaker 5: Week later, Martin Snedden saying that they invested millions of
Speaker 5: dollars in the black Caps brand and they're not going
Speaker 5: to play in beij And they banked the fucking chair.
Speaker 5: Don't worry about that. Yeah, the bank the hundred Actually
Speaker 5: yes they did. That was back in the day when
Speaker 5: you'd seen chicks. Yeah, they banked it, don't worry. But
Speaker 5: and then again and what happens five years later they
Speaker 5: played in Beige.
Speaker 3: Course.
Speaker 1: Yeah I like that, setting them their first hundred, which
Speaker 1: by rights should have been yours. But you couldn't fucking
Speaker 1: think to do it yourself. So we've done it for you.
Speaker 3: So here's the thing. Yeah, I love the grenading the
Speaker 3: port with their hats. Just give them more hats.
Speaker 1: And if I bump into Oli Williams for the sixteenth time, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'll let him know. Climb on a chair and tell
Speaker 1: him yeah, whispered into his ear.
Speaker 3: Now they call it here heel spurs.
Speaker 9: Good to see the ACC who have been massive supporters
Speaker 9: and champions of the Round Bowl in New Zealand for years.
Speaker 9: Now go and support orpen FC. What should I say,
Speaker 9: jump on the bandwagon when there's been a perfectly good,
Speaker 9: successful New Zealand team just down the road for years,
Speaker 9: the Wellington Open FC up the Bloody Necks.
Speaker 3: Look, uh, surprise, surprise.
Speaker 5: We live in Auckland, both of us live in Auckland, Okay,
Speaker 5: and we don't have a team and I know and
Speaker 5: now we do so and they we were there at
Speaker 5: their first game, which some would say that's where you're
Speaker 5: building the bandwagon, not when you're on it.
Speaker 3: Well, Yeah, I don't understand the bandwig.
Speaker 1: There's been so much on social media about the a
Speaker 1: SEC's bandwagon fans.
Speaker 3: Although aren't we.
Speaker 5: Day one fans? Isn't that the direct opposite? And can
Speaker 5: you let us be fair? Are we allowed to be?
Speaker 5: This is the fucking problem here. Everyone's so so protective.
Speaker 5: It's like if we want to be even if we
Speaker 5: want to be bandwagon fans, we can't because the team
Speaker 5: doesn't exist. So how can we be bandwagon fans? And
Speaker 5: even if we are surely more than Maria no, or
Speaker 5: are we just keen just to limit it to just
Speaker 5: hardcore funck with?
Speaker 1: What's the bandwagon? When did the bandwagon start? The team
Speaker 1: didn't fucking exist. If you look at the Warriors, what's
Speaker 1: the opposite of a bandwagon fan? As a day one fan,
Speaker 1: we are day one fans of the yeah and nothing
Speaker 1: against the next. The very successful a league heaps against
Speaker 1: the next, fuck the next. If we can't go on
Speaker 1: any of their games, because that's right. And by the way,
Speaker 1: you guys can and you didn't, So yeah, crowd was
Speaker 1: terrible weekend. Yeah, but anyway, Yeah, I can't wrap my
Speaker 1: head around the bandwagon chat. Yeah, I've been to every
Speaker 1: single game they've ever played. I watched every single minute
Speaker 1: of every game I have.
Speaker 3: You're going this weekend?
Speaker 5: No, I couldn't get into the lily world. I can't
Speaker 5: go this game. It's Labor weekend. Yeah, so I hope
Speaker 5: they have a good crowd because I it was a
Speaker 5: good time. I think we've got one more. We got
Speaker 5: one more call of yours please.
Speaker 7: The soccer I've never been a fan of the old
Speaker 7: soccer football roundble.
Speaker 4: It's good for Aukland.
Speaker 5: Everybody says you can behind it, am I correct and
Speaker 5: saying our first goal was an own goal?
Speaker 4: Yes, that's sort of very Awkland like. It's almost like
Speaker 4: overpopulated in.
Speaker 7: City and forgetting to build the roads.
Speaker 4: What was the flyover.
Speaker 8: One of our broken planes or Ali Williams's helicopter.
Speaker 5: Yeah, the flyover, I think that was just a private
Speaker 5: It was a private collection, a private collection of a
Speaker 5: vintage planes went over.
Speaker 3: I think our Air Force crashed into a reef on
Speaker 3: the way.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Now, I think they were a bunch of mainly former
Speaker 5: New Zealand pilots, uh own those planes, those private kind of.
Speaker 3: Planes. That was the flyover. So now it was well,
Speaker 3: good on that.
Speaker 4: Guys.
Speaker 5: You know he's wasn't a fan of the round ball,
Speaker 5: but now he is, and get on yet, look and
Speaker 5: tell you what he's a Kids love it. Kids love
Speaker 5: these kind of events as well. So soccer ball.
Speaker 3: So much going on. There's like a big slide at
Speaker 3: the end. There was heaps of games going on.
Speaker 1: I will say this is the first game of professional
Speaker 1: soccer that I've ever watched live and in the flesh. Really, yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't think it. Well, when would I have watched
Speaker 1: a professional football game?
Speaker 3: How many go to an all whites game? How many?
Speaker 1: How many all whites games do you think they played
Speaker 1: in tomorrow? Okay, enough, so I'd never seen it, but
Speaker 1: it was. It's a much better sport to watch in
Speaker 1: person than I think it is on TV. If you
Speaker 1: don't understand it because on TV you just see the
Speaker 1: ball bounce back and forth. You okay, But when you're
Speaker 1: at the game, you can see how hard it is
Speaker 1: just to get a pass off to the other guy.
Speaker 3: You didn't go to any of the Women's World Cup games?
Speaker 1: No, I don't think I did a tear when he's Ylander,
Speaker 1: yeah or a broke Newsylander. I don't get into the
Speaker 1: in part corporate box. I've been to far too many,
Speaker 1: to be honest.
Speaker 5: I worked at the Germany Football Cup, so I've been
Speaker 5: to I went to four games there, Australia, Croatia, Australia, Japan,
Speaker 5: well countless FIFA games. I've just proportionately been to way
Speaker 5: too many football games not to be a fan of football.
Speaker 3: I like it, but I'm not I like it. I
Speaker 3: can watch it, but I'm not a hardcore no. But yeah,
Speaker 3: like I said, I enjoyed watching it at the game.
Speaker 1: As you can see, there's a whole lot more going
Speaker 1: on because when you watch it on TV, you're just
Speaker 1: like someone, hurry up and score. But when you're down
Speaker 1: there at the ground and you can hear them colliding
Speaker 1: into each other and that whole thing is quite good,
Speaker 1: it's a lot more, a lot more to it. So yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm on day one. I don't know if I'll be
Speaker 1: there on day two, but for this week, i am
Speaker 1: day one. Let's knock this thing on the head tomorrow,
Speaker 1: very special guests, potentially a curse.
Speaker 3: We'll find out. This is the last chance. I think.
Speaker 1: If we do curse this man, then it's definitely well
Speaker 1: and truly a thing. He's definitely not aware of it
Speaker 1: because he's agreed to come back on. Brad Shields will
Speaker 1: be joining the show tomorrow unless he listens to this
Speaker 1: part of the podcast, in which case you may not
Speaker 1: tune in tomorrow to find out. We'll see you tomorrow
Speaker 1: for another episode of the Gender Podcast.
Speaker 2: You've been listening to the ACC's Agenda podcast, brought to
Speaker 2: you by Export Ultra. For more episodes, I can follow
Speaker 2: on iHeartRadio for if you get your podcasts
