Speaker 1: Live for the Export Beer Garden Studio and brought to
Speaker 1: you by Export Ultra the Beer for Here. This is
Speaker 1: the Agenda Podcast for Monday, the twenty fourth of June.
Speaker 2: The Agenda Podcast, the home of Sporting Nonsense and clap Trap,
Speaker 2: brought to you by Export Vulture.
Speaker 1: Lane. We'll get to the Rugby, do we have to?
Speaker 1: We do have to, and we will.
Speaker 3: We will get to the rug like as long as
Speaker 3: we can just put it behind us, we can.
Speaker 1: But we have to deal with it. We have to grieve,
Speaker 1: we have to have a tongue in for the chiefs,
Speaker 1: and we will in a second. But first I just
Speaker 1: want to address something that I've just become aware of.
Speaker 1: There was cakes and candles for Jeremy Wells's birthday out
Speaker 1: in the office this morning. Yep, it is his birthday.
Speaker 1: But except for the fact that it isn't, he's moved
Speaker 1: his birthday.
Speaker 3: He's identified as his birthday being late July, late June
Speaker 3: instead of January because he didn't like January.
Speaker 1: Because he was actually born in January.
Speaker 3: Yeah, January, I think January nineteen or twenty yeah, nineteen,
Speaker 3: very close to Dani Vittori's birthday twentieth as well.
Speaker 1: And so he's then moved it to June twentieth. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's moved it six months. Yeah, he's moved.
Speaker 3: It to the day after the winter solstice for the
Speaker 3: longest day. So you know it's right, Sat, I don't
Speaker 3: mind it. You know you can have it. You can
Speaker 3: do what you want these days, because you can be
Speaker 3: born a man and identify as a packet of SNACKACHINGI
Speaker 3: and people can't criticize that.
Speaker 1: So he identifies as being born June.
Speaker 3: Yeah, six months after he was actually born. He's identified
Speaker 3: has been as his birthday, yeah, being six months later.
Speaker 3: And you know, you can do whatever you want these days,
Speaker 3: and you can't criticize it, Mini, because if you do,
Speaker 3: you are a bigot.
Speaker 1: Well you've been able to do it for a long
Speaker 1: time because there's someone else who's did it, and it
Speaker 1: was one of the English kings years ago. That's why
Speaker 1: King's birthday is in June May whenever it is. It's
Speaker 1: because his actual birthday was in winter, and he's like, oh,
Speaker 1: fuck that, you're not going to have it too cold
Speaker 1: for public holiday. Let's move it to summer. But Jerry's
Speaker 1: done the opposite. But his rationale was that, like January nineteenth.
Speaker 1: Who kres like, Yeah, you've just had Christmas, New Year's
Speaker 1: you're away on holiday. Save it and have someone to
Speaker 1: look forward to in the middle of winter.
Speaker 3: Well, he did say that the reason he changed it
Speaker 3: was to avoid scenarios like the office cake situation. And
Speaker 3: I said to a mass you stupid because you don't
Speaker 3: come back to work until like the twenty fifth of January.
Speaker 3: So you've never had cake in the office, and now
Speaker 3: you've changed it to a date where we can do
Speaker 3: it in the office. You've really shot yourself on the foot.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And he said that it sucked and whos occurred
Speaker 1: because it was always in school holidays. As a person
Speaker 1: who's birthday is always in school holidays, I loved it.
Speaker 1: Fuck been at school on your birthday?
Speaker 3: Yeah, But as she there is. I've got two kids
Speaker 3: and both in July coming up. It's the hell month
Speaker 3: for me. They're both in school holidays, and the issue
Speaker 3: for them is all their mates are away. So what
Speaker 3: happens is we have a celebration on their birthday and
Speaker 3: then two weeks later, when all the little shits go
Speaker 3: back to school, we have to do it all over
Speaker 3: again with the fucking party yeah, right, so it just
Speaker 3: keeps on giving. That's why I don't like it.
Speaker 1: Where do their mates got just leave town of the holidays.
Speaker 3: They or just bagger off. I mean I'm on the
Speaker 3: north Shore, so most they're in Fiji or Toma or
Speaker 3: somewhere like we're in near place in the Maldives.
Speaker 1: That's a beautiful part about growing up in way mate,
Speaker 1: is no one ever left, and so my my birthday
Speaker 1: and the July school holidays, everyone was still around. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I just thought it was innovative and I've only ever
Speaker 1: heard of one other person changing their birthday.
Speaker 3: I'm into it. I mean I was born on Friday
Speaker 3: the thirteenth, so I could be up for changing it,
Speaker 3: may explain if you thinks out.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, I've got an uncle who was born on
Speaker 1: a Friday the thirteenth as well. But yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I'm not going to change my birthday. But I thought
Speaker 1: he might have been one of those people who just
Speaker 1: hates when people acknowledge his birthday. But no, he seemed
Speaker 1: to enjoy it.
Speaker 3: Yeah he didn't. He doesn't mind it. I would have
Speaker 3: chosen a bit of date, like you said, middle of winter.
Speaker 3: Maybe go for Year's Eve. Yeah, or somewhere everyone's partying.
Speaker 1: No, I'd go like around just after daylight savings, so
Speaker 1: when we're just starting to come in to yeah, you
Speaker 1: know spring Spring Yeah.
Speaker 3: Because I think you can change it when you get older,
Speaker 3: because when you're younger, anyone who's born in December or
Speaker 3: early January hate it because you get too you just
Speaker 3: get one present at Christmas, yeah you know, and you
Speaker 3: get overshadowed. But as you get older and you don't
Speaker 3: really give a shit about your birthday in terms of
Speaker 3: gifts or anything like that, I reckon put it around
Speaker 3: a party area Patty zone would be good.
Speaker 1: Only someone who had their birthday on Christmas Eve on
Speaker 1: the twenty fourth. Yeah, and they loved it because every
Speaker 1: year it's like everyone's at the pub passing up. She
Speaker 1: was like, oh, no, you have my Birthda's true. But
Speaker 1: actually they weren't. But but you can pretend, you can pretend. Look,
Speaker 1: we're dancing around the topic. The topic is the subject.
Speaker 1: Super Rugby Grand Final twenty twenty four. You'll winner has
Speaker 1: been crowned and it is the Blues. Twenty one years
Speaker 1: on from their last legitimate title. They win again and
Speaker 1: a resounding victory as well. Forty one ten. What happened all.
Speaker 3: Went completely wrong for the Chiefs manner right from the start,
Speaker 3: when the rain was coming down an hour before the start,
Speaker 3: it was like, uh oh, because, as Steve Devine said
Speaker 3: on the Friday, he's like, this is going to be
Speaker 3: one up front. You know, the Blues are going to
Speaker 3: smash them up front, dominate, and it's going to be
Speaker 3: brutal and a wet weather affair. And you could see
Speaker 3: immediately how slippery it was, players slipping over. It was
Speaker 3: like kind of a weird greasy. It wasn't like heavy rain.
Speaker 3: It was like they're just that kind of drizzle. You
Speaker 3: could see it on when they were running their footsteps. Yeah,
Speaker 3: so from the start that was like uh oh. And
Speaker 3: then in the first ten minutes, you know, there was
Speaker 3: penalties galore. Nick Barry was not having any of the
Speaker 3: Chief's manna carry on. He was threatening cards most of
Speaker 3: the time. Most of the game was under penalty advantage
Speaker 3: to the Blues, And to be fair, I was expecting
Speaker 3: more rezeldzil when they play under advantage, but they didn't.
Speaker 3: They just kept picking, going, picking, go, picking go, and
Speaker 3: as old Vern Cotter said, you don't win Awards for
Speaker 3: you know how pretty it is, So we're just going
Speaker 3: to grind this one out. And sure enough they did,
Speaker 3: and that the Chiefs had nothing Patrick Tupola to even
Speaker 3: Charlton one News. Fuck the How the fuck did he
Speaker 3: come out back from a four week injury two weeks
Speaker 3: later and play a game like that that was next level?
Speaker 1: My theory on him is that he actually wasn't any
Speaker 1: further along in his recovery than he would have otherwise been.
Speaker 1: He was just like, fuck it on playing and I
Speaker 1: don't care, you know, his own up. I'm going to
Speaker 1: risk it. Shoot yeah, fill me up to the girls
Speaker 1: with any pain killie. And I think that's what they did.
Speaker 1: And I think he knew he was only going to play.
Speaker 1: I think he played fifty seven minutes and I think
Speaker 1: he knew that's all he was going to play. So
Speaker 1: he's like, fuck it.
Speaker 3: I was sixty seven. He played fucking quite a decent haul.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I think he just used Maybe he's just like,
Speaker 1: this is as much as I can do.
Speaker 3: That's all they needed though unhelpfully that yeah, and he
Speaker 3: was excellent, that's all they needed. And now the Chiefs
Speaker 3: lineout struggled really missed Takiaho yeah, and Bradley Slater, the
Speaker 3: two first up hookers were gone, and you could just
Speaker 3: see in that first lineout Tyrone Tom he threw a
Speaker 3: ball that just floated and it wasn't straight and immediately
Speaker 3: Blues were on attack in our own twenty two. It
Speaker 3: was just like, Yeah, it was this bit of a
Speaker 3: horror show right from the start, and it was tough
Speaker 3: to watch as a Chiefs manor fan because it's back
Speaker 3: to back Grand Final losses for the Chiefs. They I mean,
Speaker 3: there are chants again next year. They don't lose a
Speaker 3: lot of players next year. There's I think they're pretty
Speaker 3: much that rosters pretty much stays the same. They may
Speaker 3: have to look at maybe beefing up that front row,
Speaker 3: yeah a little bit. They just seem to get out
Speaker 3: muscled by Tonga. Fussy and muscled, and it's a it's.
Speaker 1: Almost like a role reversal because I don't identify the
Speaker 1: Blues with having a strong, hard nosed forward pack.
Speaker 3: Oh man, they've been a strong year.
Speaker 1: They have. Yeah, they have been dominant and the Chiefs
Speaker 1: have been winning their games. From Razeldazzel in the back.
Speaker 3: Line, Yeah, from the Nawel nada. I mean, Sewan Stevenson
Speaker 3: had a He's had an up and down season and
Speaker 3: compared to the year before. Injuries, Yeah, injuries all through there.
Speaker 3: But Doughbro's been good. I think it's seen to don't
Speaker 3: as good. And I think you've got the likes of
Speaker 3: I'm like a poor hippie and Quinty Pye, Like that's
Speaker 3: a pretty solid inside back combination.
Speaker 1: Then you throw some Rezldezzel on the edges.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and Cortes Latima as well. He's played pretty pretty
Speaker 3: buddy well with Mackenzie. But yeah, I copped a lot
Speaker 3: of a lot of shit, mainly from my family who
Speaker 3: went to the game and they all dressed up in
Speaker 3: blues kit and then they picked me up afterwards, and
Speaker 3: then they all near just absolutely giving it to me,
Speaker 3: and I'm like, I don't need this from my loved ones.
Speaker 3: My phone has been lit up of people like Joel Harrison,
Speaker 3: like Delli, like all these guys just going sorry for
Speaker 3: your loss, sorry for your loss, And I'm like, yeah, fuck,
Speaker 3: you didn't make.
Speaker 1: A lot of noise going unto that.
Speaker 3: I don't. I know, I like, and I didn't. I didn't.
Speaker 3: I did not expect it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess the shocking part is how many Blues
Speaker 1: fans all of a sudden there were. So I was like,
Speaker 1: where have you guys been for the last twenty years?
Speaker 3: I may have said that on the commentary and was
Speaker 3: the Blues fans copped a straight from me on the
Speaker 3: contrary because I'm like, you don't deserve it. You're five thousand,
Speaker 3: you tune up for the first game next season, yeah,
Speaker 3: and you'll be champions. You don't deserve it. Like, actually,
Speaker 3: if you actually believe in it, get in behind it.
Speaker 1: That don't properly, they don't. I think a large part
Speaker 1: of it is not a lot of people in Auckland
Speaker 1: are from Auckland. Three of us in this room, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I live in Auckland aren't from Auckland. There's a massive,
Speaker 1: massive contingent from.
Speaker 3: But there is about a million who are Yeah, that's right,
Speaker 3: you know what I mean. There is there's only so
Speaker 3: many Kiwi kind of regional expats here. There is still
Speaker 3: a buttload of true blue born and bred auckland Is
Speaker 3: here who need to get off their fucking asses and
Speaker 3: go and support their team because they're champions.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're you're so right. They don't deserve it. Did
Speaker 1: you see? Rico Juoni afterwards said that it means more
Speaker 1: to him than a World Cup? Is that because he's
Speaker 1: just lost a World Cup? Yep?
Speaker 3: And this is the first thing he's won.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, if he has oh of course, yeah.
Speaker 3: He's one a few blittersloads and stuff like that. But
Speaker 3: in terms of a title, yeah, it's the first one.
Speaker 1: So he never won.
Speaker 3: So he doesn't know what it feels like to have
Speaker 3: a World Cup title, does he No, So of course
Speaker 3: he's going to say that this is bigger than a
Speaker 3: World Cup. Is because I've never won a World Cup.
Speaker 1: This is bigger than a World Cup loss. Sure, but
Speaker 1: I think winning the World Cup would probably meant a
Speaker 1: little bit more to him.
Speaker 3: I think, yes, I think, yeah, let's hope. Let's hope he,
Speaker 3: you know, went, wins a World Cup and then can
Speaker 3: turn around and say I said this the Super Rugby,
Speaker 3: this was bet.
Speaker 1: I was wrong. This is hope. Let's hope he did.
Speaker 1: It's hope he eats his words. I hope he gets
Speaker 1: the opportunity. Yeah, and I think if you asked him
Speaker 1: he'd probably say the same thing. But yeah, disappointing forty
Speaker 1: one ten, That is a whopping score.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it just blew out In the end, he could
Speaker 3: sell that the Chiefs knew they were behind and they
Speaker 3: had to start playing a bit of razzle dazzle, but
Speaker 3: not in those conditions shut down. You know, all Bell's
Speaker 3: being kicked out on the fall, just being penalized at
Speaker 3: the breakdown was im metally. I'm not going to sound
Speaker 3: like a Wingingana fan, but there were some penalties that
Speaker 3: were like, I'm pretty sure the Blues did exactly that
Speaker 3: same thing that earlier ruck and got away with it. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I'm on the like, not off your feet, not on
Speaker 3: your own body weight or whatever it's called, come over
Speaker 3: the ball. We got panged twice and the Blues did
Speaker 3: it and it was okay. There was just a bit
Speaker 3: of that that just didn't fall, and as I think
Speaker 3: it was was. I mean, Steve Devine gave a great
Speaker 3: insight he said when he was talking about you can
Speaker 3: only have been quite lucky in terms of got the
Speaker 3: rubb of the green the Chiefs the last few games,
Speaker 3: the first ten minutes of the quarterfinal and semi final,
Speaker 3: they just came out of the blocks a couple of
Speaker 3: lucky breakouts, bounces and it's not going to happen a
Speaker 3: third time and fuck him.
Speaker 1: He was right, he was right, Yeah, you're right. It
Speaker 1: was like a couple of penalties. Now all of a
Speaker 1: sudden the reef is up. Luke Jacobson being like, hey,
Speaker 1: next time, someone's going to the bin. Yeah, so now
Speaker 1: you're up against that. And that carried on for a long,
Speaker 1: long long time. Yeah, happened down the other end as well.
Speaker 1: Someone eventually did get sent to the bin. And Luke
Speaker 1: Jacobson did I think in the end, wasn't it.
Speaker 3: No, No, it was a prop. There was a George Dyer.
Speaker 3: I think it got sent to the bin. But hey,
Speaker 3: all in all, I think probably the best Super Rugby
Speaker 3: season and terms of the quality of play and the
Speaker 3: running play, and because I was a bit nervous coming
Speaker 3: out of that World Cup, which is so turged. That
Speaker 3: whole World Cup. There's too much TMO, there was too
Speaker 3: much referees actually not just actually using their instinct and
Speaker 3: actually letting the game flow. And I'm glad there was
Speaker 3: a director for at the start of the season was like,
Speaker 3: just use your common sense for scrum collapses, the balls
Speaker 3: at the back play on, you know, don't put up
Speaker 3: with any ship from half backs, run of milk, penalties,
Speaker 3: just play on. Yeah, and that's it's not quite there yet,
Speaker 3: but it's gone a fucking long way to have been
Speaker 3: a better product than it ever has been.
Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely has. I hope that. I hope that people
Speaker 1: started to latch onto their teams again because I feel
Speaker 1: like that's when Super Rugby was humming. Everyone was like,
Speaker 1: I'm level die by my team. Yeah, and I think
Speaker 1: a little bit of that's starting to comeback, with the
Speaker 1: exception of the Blues. The home actually in Wellington, old
Speaker 1: advantage is starting to come back, you know. Yeah, Highlanders
Speaker 1: look quite.
Speaker 3: Good to Zoo. You've got the Zoo down there, So
Speaker 3: you've got.
Speaker 1: Zoo down there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you've got like a little bit of passion down there.
Speaker 1: Even Orange Cheerry, as much as their place sucks Apollo Stadium,
Speaker 1: people turn up.
Speaker 3: People turn out and they've got something to go. They've
Speaker 3: got something to get behind. Now, Crusaders fans.
Speaker 1: They're like the rebuild, You've got the rebuild.
Speaker 3: Even behind them. Wellington fans should be getting behind their
Speaker 3: team because again their squad is going to be very
Speaker 3: similar yeah the next year, and they are going to
Speaker 3: be knocking on the door again. So yeah, so they're
Speaker 3: gonna be knocking on the door again, and I've they'll
Speaker 3: learn from this season. And then obviously Chiefs fans are
Speaker 3: just lunatics. They'll they'll they'll love it, like Blues fans
Speaker 3: need to step up as well.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but congratulations to them were your winners forty one ten.
Speaker 3: The social content coming out of their celebrations, I had
Speaker 3: to just I had to completely disengage through into the air.
Speaker 1: So now looking at our calendar as commentators, it does
Speaker 1: get all a little bit easier for the next sort
Speaker 1: of five or six days, and then we're into the
Speaker 1: All Blacks and the All Blacks team list gets named
Speaker 1: later on tonight. Maybe by the time you listen to
Speaker 1: this podcast you may actually know. But as we did
Speaker 1: last year, my sources have been worrying into action. I've
Speaker 1: been beavering away behind the scenes.
Speaker 3: He kidnapped, kidnapped another child.
Speaker 1: I've kidnapped people's children. It's hard. When one of the
Speaker 1: selectors used to be Grant Fox, it's quite hard to
Speaker 1: kidnap his son Ryan. Yeah, yeah, people knew where he was,
Speaker 1: so it's kind a high profile. Was so, but no,
Speaker 1: but I've been beving away I'm not going to tell
Speaker 1: you how I've done it, but I have managed to find,
Speaker 1: you know, a few scoops ahead of time. So we're
Speaker 1: going to take a quick break. When we come back,
Speaker 1: I'm going to get the crystal ball out and predict
Speaker 1: the next All Blacks squad. All right. As I said
Speaker 1: before the break, I have kidnapped someone's skid. I have.
Speaker 1: I've been extorting the powers that be. I haven't just
Speaker 1: read a press release before it's come out and then
Speaker 1: completely fl out of the embargo to tell you this.
Speaker 1: Although some journalists do.
Speaker 3: I don't think that they don't put a press release
Speaker 3: out of the Blacks team prior to the announcement.
Speaker 1: How are they finding this?
Speaker 3: They never do that. I think that that's surely not anyway.
Speaker 1: I've got my ear to the ground. Here's okay, here's
Speaker 1: the squad that I'm predicting. Okay, that's going to be Now.
Speaker 3: Can I say agree or disagree? Yes, okay, ago along, absolutely.
Speaker 1: But you'll be wrong if you disagree, because this will
Speaker 1: be the team Tyrell Lomax Ethan Flitch, and you'll to
Speaker 1: Mighty Williams. George Bauer. I don't think that confused too
Speaker 1: many people.
Speaker 3: No, I don't know. I think that's pretty curate. I mean,
Speaker 3: I think both. So is that an entire Crusaders Fletcher
Speaker 3: newl To, Mighty Williams and George Bauer. Yes, okay, yes
Speaker 3: there's three of them, so just a couple of Islanders
Speaker 3: and one Blues front rower from interesting.
Speaker 1: The Super Rugby Championship demolishing forwardback. Yeah, this is what
Speaker 1: I'm hearing. Hookers Cody Taylor Suf obviously Tokyo's out yep,
Speaker 1: Ricky Rickettelli, I'm hearing Ricky Rickettelli.
Speaker 3: Really yeah, because there's obviously this is there. George Bell
Speaker 3: is a young hooker.
Speaker 1: Yes, between those two, that is what I'm hearing.
Speaker 3: Obviously that third hooker position is available obviously due to
Speaker 3: takyaho He otherwise he'd be in there. Interesting. I quite like,
Speaker 3: I quite like the cut of Ricky Ricattelli's GiB. Not
Speaker 3: only does the Rhino have the greatest name ever, he
Speaker 3: looks like a peaky blinder, he looks like a real
Speaker 3: good bugger and people like him. He's very popular within
Speaker 3: teams set up, so I hope he does get the
Speaker 3: call up locks Yes.
Speaker 1: And also your all black captain Dog Roll dog Roll Yes,
Speaker 1: is going to be in there too. Yep is going
Speaker 1: to be in the Patrick tooper Loor to even Charlton,
Speaker 1: He's going to be in there, Yeape dependent he's going
Speaker 1: to be named And I'm hearing Sam Derry Sam Darry
Speaker 1: okay is going to be named in there, another debutante.
Speaker 1: I'm also hearing Josh Lord, who has been out injured,
Speaker 1: could be back playing for Tartanak in the NPC, with
Speaker 1: an eye to bringing him back into the camp. This
Speaker 1: is what I'm.
Speaker 3: Hearing, right, Sam Darry interesting, Yeah, Okay, that's.
Speaker 1: Darry, Sam Darry. Your loose forwards, Yes, Ardie Savier will
Speaker 1: be back from Japan. Dalton, Papa Lee. This is where
Speaker 1: it gets interesting. In the number eight battle we were
Speaker 1: talking about you know all of the loose Fords that
Speaker 1: are in the Peter Lacy yeah, Braden your set, yeah,
Speaker 1: Wallace Sititi yeah, none of them are going to make it. Hoskins, Satutu,
Speaker 1: Luke Jacobson and either Ethan Blackadder or Sammapenny Female.
Speaker 3: Right, Okay, looks I think Female needs to be in there.
Speaker 1: I think he does too.
Speaker 3: I think on form man, that guy is a weapon,
Speaker 3: like you've got to have him flying off the line
Speaker 3: and smash and Sea next Tuesdays, because that's that's what
Speaker 3: defines the number six in New Zealand. Luke Jacobson, Yeah,
Speaker 3: it looks solid experienced, but.
Speaker 1: I mean Breden, you're set. I mean and well a
Speaker 1: side City, White City. I think side Titt might be
Speaker 1: a year to it. Yeah, I think side Titty another
Speaker 1: super season. Have an eye on him for the next
Speaker 1: World Cup.
Speaker 3: I think it would be too early to bring him
Speaker 3: in and I think Hoskins showed his class in the
Speaker 3: in the weekend during that final to probably have it
Speaker 3: up over him for now.
Speaker 1: Also, just the range of skills that Situdu has.
Speaker 3: And Peter Luckeye man, if he misses out, he'd be like,
Speaker 3: what do you have to do in super rugby? Yeah
Speaker 3: to get a call up.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm telling you now he's going to miss out.
Speaker 4: This is.
Speaker 1: Where I'm hearing some real wild shit at halfback. Obviously
Speaker 1: the number one whose name's escaping me, Roy Guard.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's out. He's looking good day. He was on
Speaker 3: the same flight as us back to Winnington to Walkland
Speaker 3: last week and he seems to be walking freely.
Speaker 1: He's got a skutxy haircut. He's got eyes that carried
Speaker 1: deep sadness.
Speaker 3: Yeah. He he was seeing next to Joe. Jury was
Speaker 3: he and Joe was trying to engage. You got nothing,
Speaker 3: absolutely not mate, So fin like Christie Yep, okay, that's
Speaker 3: fair enough, incumbent.
Speaker 1: I am hearing a debutante for Courtier.
Speaker 3: The man named after a Nike sneaker.
Speaker 1: Has to be in there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's had a great season, so I hope, I
Speaker 3: hope he gets he's a big body. This one was
Speaker 3: shot here t J.
Speaker 1: Pitter Nada.
Speaker 3: I think if that is the way they go, that
Speaker 3: is a huge safety call in terms of safe payer
Speaker 3: of hands. But I mean, is he gonna be around
Speaker 3: the next World Cup? Is this is this?
Speaker 1: Scott Barrett cannot be leading the hucker for us. We
Speaker 1: have to bring TJ.
Speaker 5: In.
Speaker 3: Well, Courtiers could do it.
Speaker 1: Courtiers could do it. You can't. Ever, I don't know,
Speaker 1: can you have a rookie in there? I just feel like,
Speaker 1: you know, obviously ideally you'd have the captain leading it.
Speaker 1: I just wonder if they're like, can we help dog
Speaker 1: roll out?
Speaker 3: Are you saying you're bringing they're bringing a hucker? Specialist
Speaker 3: disignated designated har guspacialist. Okay, look, I mean he's he
Speaker 3: once Roy Gawds was my Camroyds was out. He did
Speaker 3: have a great season TJ, even though he wound me
Speaker 3: up no end doing the Hollywoods in that semi final.
Speaker 1: He has played pretty well. First five eighths. Buden Barrett
Speaker 1: will get back from the overseas. Damien McKinsey shock. No
Speaker 1: One midfielder is Jordi Barrett, Anton Lennard Brown, Ricco Yuanni
Speaker 1: and I'm hearing a debut for Billy Proctor.
Speaker 3: Interesting unkept midfielder for the yeah, three of them. I'm
Speaker 3: totally fine with the Juanna, Anton Dobro and Jordy Barrett.
Speaker 3: That's experience, yep.
Speaker 1: Billy Proctor, Billy Procter.

Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't mind that. I don't mind that. Outside backs,
Speaker 3: that's that's a pretty dangerous set of units.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's all the same dudes that we
Speaker 1: would have taken to the World Cup had Nada were
Speaker 1: not been injured. Yeah, plus Rubin Love. I think Rubin
Speaker 1: Love is the future. I think he's He looks excellent
Speaker 1: and I knew it from the moment he took an
Speaker 1: absolute screamer at the Black Clash right in front of
Speaker 1: me and the commentators both. He that was out of frageous.
Speaker 1: It was a free hits asn't count, but it was
Speaker 1: the most athletic thing I think I've seen in the flesh.
Speaker 1: And he's the future, man.
Speaker 3: What it is looking That's the big discussion points were
Speaker 3: the outside backs and the loose forwards. Yes, I think,
Speaker 3: and they still will be no matter what the name today.
Speaker 6: People will just told you it's going to be named Yeah, okay,
Speaker 6: but people will miss out and there's going to be
Speaker 6: some pretty I mean, like you're saying, if you're Peter

Speaker 3: What more Japan here? I come like that. I suppose
Speaker 3: that's the danger when you don't get picked, players like
Speaker 3: that don't get rewarded. Hopefully, Razors seems like a he's
Speaker 3: a pretty switched on dude. He knows how to manage people.
Speaker 3: Hopefully he's on the blower to anyone who's missed out.
Speaker 3: These ones are saying, mate, you're in for the Safkin
Speaker 3: series or for the Aussie you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: But otherwise, because he'd just be like I could be
Speaker 3: making millions. Imagine Peter Luckeye playing for a French team
Speaker 3: like cleaning up.
Speaker 1: And he's young enough too that he could go over
Speaker 1: there and become like a hundred game duran for.
Speaker 3: To lose or something. He ended up playing for France.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the next World Cup. Monsieur, you're where's Monsieur? So

Speaker 1: in dire shape.

Speaker 1: It's upsetting the wide Yeah, and really.
Speaker 3: The argument was just to see Waymi, which is where
Speaker 3: you're fronts, is where I'm from, and this person he
Speaker 3: is asking to extend it to the whole province of Canterbury.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's too broad. Yeah, it's way too broad. The

Speaker 3: or a portal to unleash people's hatred on South Canberary.
Speaker 1: If you if you if you're wondering where it came from,

Speaker 1: from Hines. They had started doing it. They were trying
Speaker 1: to get us down for their for one of their games.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, and they had a deep hatred for South
Speaker 1: Canby because of course Heines and Mid Canterbury and they
Speaker 1: said fuck South Canterbury and ever. I was like, now
Speaker 1: it's just become a whole thing, and you know, I
Speaker 1: feel I feel a deep shame for the for the
Speaker 1: designer that I've brought on my my home region. That'll
Speaker 1: be my lasting legacy is that I've just got the
Speaker 1: whole country saying fox South can Yeah.

Speaker 1: time too, the Hurricanes hurricanes. It's commentators, the mainstream lamestream commentators.
Speaker 3: They call it the Hurricans.
Speaker 1: They call it the hurricanes. Yeah. I feel like they
Speaker 1: do it on purpose to try and make it sound
Speaker 1: like they know how to pronounce shit and we don't.
Speaker 1: But it's a hurricane.
Speaker 3: Well, you've got to look, that's what the chat is.
Speaker 1: King. Yeah, you can't be. It can't be hurricanes, hurricanes
Speaker 1: another couple, Yeah, yours.
Speaker 4: I reckon at some point they's to be minive as
Speaker 4: a shameless fight like a luxe and in heart you
Speaker 4: never seen to in the same room at the same time.
Speaker 5: Could just be an alter ego of manias.
Speaker 1: I do get confused for shamous from between two beers
Speaker 1: quite often.
Speaker 3: Well, you're in the podcast in game, you know, they
Speaker 3: were part of the ACC stable until they started interviewing
Speaker 3: amputees and refugees and dropped ones.
Speaker 1: And you know, just too brown guys with beards. I
Speaker 1: think is is the thing that's really throwing a lot
Speaker 1: of people off. Yeah, it happens literally all the time.
Speaker 1: That has sort of trailed off recently.
Speaker 3: Well, I think that's because they've kind of moved away
Speaker 3: off the ACC. We don't really are really seen on
Speaker 3: the because I think people were consuming ACC content and
Speaker 3: just like they're saying beard brown, Yeah, that's that's Steve,
Speaker 3: It's that's shamous.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it kills me because what happens is people
Speaker 1: But I was listening to your podcast the other day
Speaker 1: and you know, I do about ten podcasts a week,
Speaker 1: so I'm like, which one, but I can there's a
Speaker 1: look in their eye and I could tell. I'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: what one was? And you're interviewing Mark Ellis about his
Speaker 1: juice company and selling that, or if they're like you
Speaker 1: were talking to a breathwork coach about ice baths or something.
Speaker 1: Thank you? Do you like it? Did you?
Speaker 4: Yes?
Speaker 1: Like and subscribe?
Speaker 3: Did you?
Speaker 4: So?
Speaker 3: This is the celebrity death match that you mentioned last week,
Speaker 3: which has got a bit of ground swell.
Speaker 1: It's because on the undercart of David Nuka's next fight,
Speaker 1: he's going to have a few celebrity boxing matches. Yes,
Speaker 1: So that's Heart res Lux and Hoite Hosking versus Fairly. Yeah,
Speaker 1: cut the fourway, and then there's obviously you and Seamous Martin. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's big.
Speaker 3: He's you need to work him around the ring though,
Speaker 3: you need that's what you need to do. You need
Speaker 3: to get him moving.
Speaker 1: Yeah's it's on a fitness journey at the moment.
Speaker 3: I wouldn't get in close quarters with him.
Speaker 1: No, I'll do it.
Speaker 3: This undercat is going to be bigger than the fight.
Speaker 1: This this has been great. I've gone down from a
Speaker 1: couple of years ago, was I was going to fight
Speaker 1: Beaver on the Fight for Life. It went down to
Speaker 1: storm He from My Day's show. Yeah, and now it's shamous,
Speaker 1: so I'm much more comfortable with that Beaver fucked me up.
Speaker 3: I'd say that Stormy Tower could throw hands as well.
Speaker 3: He's kind of he's so he's so naturally gifted at
Speaker 3: anything else, so I can imagine he like he'd have
Speaker 3: quite a sharp little jab defenses.
Speaker 1: It may not look like it, but I go to
Speaker 1: the gym with him quite a lot, and I have
Speaker 1: to take a considerable amount of weight off. Okay, whatever
Speaker 1: bar we're lifting.
Speaker 3: He's playing front row for like Takapoona senior Bees. So yeah,
Speaker 3: he's not afraid of he's not afraid of getting down
Speaker 3: and dirty.
Speaker 1: So I'd happily take on shermus.
Speaker 3: Steed.
Speaker 1: Oh no, chuck him in the two just all beards,
Speaker 1: all beards, yeah, between three beards. Another call here, yours
Speaker 1: face you get from Boger here, just listening to the
Speaker 1: old party on the way home and the organ traffic
Speaker 1: and just a bit of a bit of a curly one.
Speaker 1: You talk about coming up the river. The chief supporters
Speaker 1: to Auckland. It's actually down the river because that's the
Speaker 1: way it's flowing. But then you kind of come up.
Speaker 7: The road north. So the fuck.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know, but yeah, that's that's the man.
Speaker 3: He obviously spends a lot of time on the road,
Speaker 3: having commuting between Auckland and porkenor this is important. It
Speaker 3: is important.
Speaker 1: So what he's saying is, when you're driving from Hamilton
Speaker 1: to Auckland driving, you're driving up because you're driving north
Speaker 1: and north is generally considered to be up. Yes, but
Speaker 1: the river actually flows that way, yes, so you are
Speaker 1: technically coming down the river and driving up on the road.
Speaker 1: This has blown my mind. I didn't know that's the
Speaker 1: way the river float.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it goes. It starts in Popoor and ends up
Speaker 3: going out Port Wakator on the west coast.
Speaker 1: I think, just because I've grown up looking at the map,
Speaker 1: I just always presume water flows down and I look
Speaker 1: at a map and I'm like, downs that way.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a good point.
Speaker 1: I'm starting to wonder if the world is round, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean, this is your own research. This
Speaker 1: is evidence to me that the Earth is flat, because
Speaker 1: how could you be driving up Highway. But sailing down
Speaker 1: the White gaddow rivet. This is we need to do
Speaker 1: more research into this. You can do it, I will
Speaker 1: do it.
Speaker 3: I'll up with here anymore.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we've got one more here, call yours fellas.
Speaker 7: I think you're onto something, but why stop? It looks
Speaker 7: and at heart, let's be honest, middle aged, bold, white
Speaker 7: dudes all are pretty similar. Right, It's one of my
Speaker 7: gym that could be lucks in all heart. So why
Speaker 7: not go full King of the Ring style and have
Speaker 7: a battle royal to leave one man standing for the belt?
Speaker 1: Thoughts?
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I love that, Like Mary Deaker check him
Speaker 3: in there.
Speaker 1: Just any bald guy.
Speaker 3: It has to be clean shaven head, yeah guy, Like, no,
Speaker 3: I'm not talking to George Costanza. It needs to be
Speaker 3: Tony needs to full clean, full clean shave. Can't be
Speaker 3: Larry David. There's plenty. He's right, there's plenty out there.
Speaker 1: Yeah. There. In fact, here's how many there are. When
Speaker 1: we went over to Fiji for Boushevnaka promo back in.
Speaker 3: One of the great promos. But I must have met
Speaker 3: what a name? Yeah, the name itself were.
Speaker 1: Flying to Fiji just based off that name. Lee went
Speaker 1: missing for a date, like you just confined himself to
Speaker 1: his room. But we were you know, part of the
Speaker 1: agreement was we were going to put up all this
Speaker 1: content about what we were up to it while we
Speaker 1: were over there. So we just took to filming any
Speaker 1: bald guy at the resort for about two days straight,
Speaker 1: just from back from behind him, like Lee's off to
Speaker 1: the bar, Lee's off down for a snorkeling trip, blah
Speaker 1: blah blah. And it was just none of them wore.
Speaker 1: It was just all random ball guys. That's how common
Speaker 1: this phenomena is.
Speaker 3: King of the Ring, King of the bald head, white
Speaker 3: bald heads.
Speaker 1: How confusing would it be to watch it? Though? You'd
Speaker 1: be like, how would you commentate? Who the hell is who? Well,
Speaker 1: especially if you got hit gear on. Well, we'd need
Speaker 1: to put gear on and put numbers on top of
Speaker 1: the heads. So but I think the whole point of
Speaker 1: this kids lost if you put hit gear on them.
Speaker 1: The whole point is it's a bunch of bald heads. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's gonna look like a t the eggs just getting around.
Speaker 1: We need to make it heaven, that's that's good.
Speaker 3: Cool.
Speaker 1: We need we needed We need a good name for it,
Speaker 1: because you're saying before it's the fight for life. That's
Speaker 1: not what we're we're doing. Celebrity death man.
Speaker 3: Yeah, pretty much. And that one the King of the
Speaker 3: King of.
Speaker 1: The Egg, the Ting of the Keg Baskets. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: think we need to get the trovies. Gun. Thank you
