That's what That's what our cap 0:00:34.080 --> 0:00:37.640 driver told us. Yeah, but it looks from the outside 0:00:37.680 --> 0:00:39.559 it looks like it should be ready sooner than that, 0:00:39.640 --> 0:00:41.000 but obviously there's a lot going on. 0:00:41.360 --> 0:00:42.200 Yeah elsewhere. 0:00:42.320 --> 0:00:44.199 It's one of those stadiums that sort of looks a 0:00:44.200 --> 0:00:47.960 little bit like Forsyth Bar, where it's like giant scaffolding 0:00:48.080 --> 0:00:50.559 worth glad wrap around it and you're like, how long 0:00:50.560 --> 0:00:52.080 could that take really? 0:00:52.920 --> 0:00:56.320 But they are they're over there guing health leathering. Impressive. 0:00:56.400 --> 0:00:58.240 This is not an ad for the Remata, but impressive 0:00:58.240 --> 0:01:00.680 soundproofing here I can hear anything. 0:01:00.600 --> 0:01:02.960 Because there is about a thousand people working on that 0:01:03.040 --> 0:01:06.640 site right now. But yeah, well it helps that we're 0:01:06.680 --> 0:01:12.119 on the other side of the building. A Test cricket 0:01:12.120 --> 0:01:12.679 starts today. 0:01:12.720 --> 0:01:14.600 Oh my god, Happy cricket Christmas. 0:01:15.160 --> 0:01:19.240 So we're going to pop our cricket cherry eleven o'clock 0:01:19.760 --> 0:01:23.319 this morning. The first Test match. We went and checked 0:01:23.319 --> 0:01:24.479 out Hagley Oval. 0:01:25.720 --> 0:01:27.479 Yesterday. We had a good wander around. 0:01:27.520 --> 0:01:30.319 Had a heady yarn to your mate Bears, Yes, who 0:01:30.360 --> 0:01:33.560 was out heading catcheres to Olli Pope, who is the 0:01:33.600 --> 0:01:37.960 replacement keeper because the original keeper has broken his finger 0:01:38.080 --> 0:01:40.880 or something, so Oli Pope and he's not a full 0:01:40.880 --> 0:01:43.720 time keeper. So he was out there and Bears was 0:01:43.880 --> 0:01:45.880 absolutely creaming balls at him. 0:01:45.959 --> 0:01:48.520 Yeah, he was giving it to him. He was standing 0:01:48.520 --> 0:01:52.320 in front of the hoarding. The bloody hoardings are pretty resilient, 0:01:52.720 --> 0:01:55.080 I thought, because they were using that as their backstop, 0:01:55.400 --> 0:01:59.040 and Bears was just blasting him, like obliterating him. 0:01:59.480 --> 0:02:01.960 And I saw what I described. 0:02:01.560 --> 0:02:04.640 Yesterday as my first ever professional loser circle. 0:02:05.320 --> 0:02:06.000 Yes it was. 0:02:06.160 --> 0:02:08.760 I mean, look, the loser circle is you might know 0:02:08.880 --> 0:02:12.120 as the warm up routine before a usually before a 0:02:12.160 --> 0:02:15.200 social cricket match where everyone stands in a kind of 0:02:15.240 --> 0:02:19.720 big arc and one person just hats catchers and it 0:02:19.760 --> 0:02:22.280 is known as the loser circle. But this one was 0:02:22.440 --> 0:02:24.120 you that you can't. I don't think you'd call it 0:02:24.160 --> 0:02:26.160 a loser circle because pretty much there was a three 0:02:26.280 --> 0:02:29.960 man slip cordon and a wicket keeper, a man standing 0:02:30.000 --> 0:02:34.080 almost like on a mound, hiffing like a picture. Yeah, 0:02:34.280 --> 0:02:37.320 bears on one knee, yes, and him just like cutting 0:02:37.360 --> 0:02:38.560 everything into the slip cordon. 0:02:38.760 --> 0:02:41.920 He was getting like genuine edges. Yeah, that's on purpose, 0:02:41.960 --> 0:02:44.080 the level of skill you have to have. 0:02:44.000 --> 0:02:46.400 To edge it on purpose. Also, he had no gloves on. 0:02:46.639 --> 0:02:47.400 That was wild. 0:02:47.680 --> 0:02:49.640 So the guy's having a ball at him, a one 0:02:49.720 --> 0:02:52.840 hundred k's and he's down on one knee just nicking 0:02:52.880 --> 0:02:55.280 them to a professional loser circle. 0:02:55.400 --> 0:02:58.040 Yes, Well, I think what we found there is a loophole, 0:02:58.040 --> 0:03:00.720 the loser circle loophole where if you stand in a 0:03:00.760 --> 0:03:03.240 slip cord and it's no longer a loser circle, yes, 0:03:03.360 --> 0:03:07.200 it is now a slip cordon and you're actually training, 0:03:07.400 --> 0:03:08.480 it's not a loser circle. 0:03:08.560 --> 0:03:08.760 Well. 0:03:08.840 --> 0:03:11.720 I also, I mean I wouldn't recommend that you suddenly 0:03:11.800 --> 0:03:14.160 changed from a loser circle into this format of catching 0:03:14.240 --> 0:03:17.840 because you really got to trust the thrower because you 0:03:17.919 --> 0:03:20.480 got no helmet, You've got no nothing like I'd imagine 0:03:20.480 --> 0:03:22.280 if we tried to do it as the acc eleven, 0:03:22.760 --> 0:03:26.200 the first ball would be thrown at my head yeap, yes, 0:03:26.280 --> 0:03:28.720 on purpose, and my nose would be splittered across my face. 0:03:29.320 --> 0:03:33.440 There be no edges. Yeah. It was good though to 0:03:33.480 --> 0:03:34.040 get down there. 0:03:34.080 --> 0:03:36.600 We let to go a bit of a trojan horse 0:03:36.680 --> 0:03:38.080 sort of a route to get into the ground. 0:03:38.080 --> 0:03:39.840 Because we got there and the securities like who the 0:03:39.840 --> 0:03:40.520 hell are you guys? 0:03:40.600 --> 0:03:43.000 Yeah, we said, oh no, no, we just we know 0:03:43.040 --> 0:03:45.280 a few people here, know Dave, Can you let me in? 0:03:45.680 --> 0:03:47.000 Yes? No, we lock down mate. 0:03:48.000 --> 0:03:50.840 Then eventually someone actually did show up for New Zealand Cricket. 0:03:50.840 --> 0:03:53.960 It was like, what are you guys doing here? Oh no, 0:03:54.040 --> 0:03:55.560 we come down to just come to look at the pitch. 0:03:55.560 --> 0:03:56.760 I don't have a look at the pitch and he's 0:03:56.800 --> 0:03:57.880 like oh yeah. 0:03:58.520 --> 0:04:01.160 So then so then we got they didn't and they 0:04:01.240 --> 0:04:03.400 just so happened to be out there training. We had 0:04:03.400 --> 0:04:06.520 a bit of a gas bag with the ground stuff 0:04:06.520 --> 0:04:10.120 there as well. Yeah, worrying stuff. They've got detimo in 0:04:10.120 --> 0:04:10.720 the pitch. 0:04:12.240 --> 0:04:17.200 Not Didimo, but they had they have a grub. That's 0:04:17.240 --> 0:04:19.960 some sort of grub. Yeah, that's come from Scotland. It's 0:04:20.040 --> 0:04:22.560 that they keep it bay by spraying it. We just 0:04:22.560 --> 0:04:24.240 sprayed him down there and it drives him down. So 0:04:24.520 --> 0:04:29.760 it's like the upside down. It's yeah, there's something's going 0:04:29.760 --> 0:04:30.960 on under the ground that we don't know. 0:04:31.000 --> 0:04:31.920 So it's an organism. 0:04:31.920 --> 0:04:33.920 I thought it was some sort of bloody well like 0:04:34.040 --> 0:04:35.159 I said, I thought it was dimo. 0:04:35.320 --> 0:04:39.000 No, no, no, it's a living organism. Okay, so they 0:04:39.080 --> 0:04:39.839 got nuts. 0:04:39.880 --> 0:04:43.719 Basically, they got nuts, they got catoos oval they have 0:04:44.160 --> 0:04:48.160 and the pitch is a classic Hagley start of the 0:04:48.200 --> 0:04:48.800 season pitch. 0:04:48.920 --> 0:04:51.240 She's as green as the outfield. Yeah that's what the 0:04:51.760 --> 0:04:54.400 that's what the ground stuff said. When we were talking 0:04:54.440 --> 0:04:55.680 to them. What do you think it is? 0:04:56.240 --> 0:04:59.760 Yeah, yeah, yeah, but they said that they played a 0:04:59.760 --> 0:05:03.200 plunk shield Northern District's Canterbury and on day one, three 0:05:03.320 --> 0:05:06.320 hundred and fifty runs were scored in nine wickets were taken. 0:05:06.600 --> 0:05:09.080 So I was like, yeah, okay, that's not not too bad. 0:05:09.120 --> 0:05:11.840 So it's not not a total mindfield, no, but. 0:05:11.800 --> 0:05:14.000 It's I thought it was funny talking to them about 0:05:14.279 --> 0:05:16.359 how they think about preparing because I've never talked to 0:05:16.360 --> 0:05:18.640 a grounds person about that kind of thing before, and 0:05:18.720 --> 0:05:20.920 like the stats that they want to sort of reduce, 0:05:21.000 --> 0:05:23.760 and yeah, he was like, yeah, three and fifty rouns, 0:05:23.800 --> 0:05:26.560 but there's also nine wickets and you could see his 0:05:26.680 --> 0:05:28.960 eyes lighting up and he got that glow. It was 0:05:29.000 --> 0:05:31.880 the same look that Gary steerdead in his eyes when 0:05:31.880 --> 0:05:33.479 he was teaching me how to bowl leggies on the 0:05:33.480 --> 0:05:36.000 floor of TV and Z. It was that, oh, this 0:05:36.040 --> 0:05:37.640 is my thing. I love talking about this. 0:05:37.839 --> 0:05:41.080 Yeah, they had it real stiffy for it. So the 0:05:41.120 --> 0:05:44.000 toss is going to be pretty important. I think whoever 0:05:44.000 --> 0:05:47.760 wins the toss will definitely bowl, unless Bears he goes 0:05:47.800 --> 0:05:48.800 for Bears and. 0:05:48.920 --> 0:05:49.799 Decides to bat. 0:05:51.200 --> 0:05:53.159 So but I don't, I don't know. I don't I 0:05:53.160 --> 0:05:56.080 don't think he will. Yeah, their chance, their World Test 0:05:56.120 --> 0:05:59.599 Championships chances are done. England they're out. They lost to 0:05:59.680 --> 0:06:02.440 Pakis are two to one last series, so they're they're 0:06:02.520 --> 0:06:06.680 they're mathematically impossible. So they've got they've got you know, 0:06:06.800 --> 0:06:09.080 they've got the freedom. We have got the pressure. We 0:06:09.120 --> 0:06:12.159 have to win all three of these games first time 0:06:12.240 --> 0:06:14.120 for a while. No Anderson and no broad No, No, 0:06:14.200 --> 0:06:15.880 Jimmy Anderson. 0:06:15.920 --> 0:06:16.880 I thought he'd retire. 0:06:17.520 --> 0:06:20.240 So it's the bowling intake is led by Chris Wokes 0:06:20.360 --> 0:06:25.240 Murder Murder she Wokes and then Gus Atkinson Brighton cass 0:06:25.480 --> 0:06:29.839 Is show him the spinner. So it's all kind of 0:06:29.880 --> 0:06:33.680 unknowns to us. Yeah, you must have checked Brayton or 0:06:33.720 --> 0:06:37.520 in Brighton, Brighton cass So yeah, so it's kind of 0:06:37.560 --> 0:06:40.080 an all new bowling lineup that we're gonna we're going 0:06:40.160 --> 0:06:43.880 to see here. By all accounts, gust consent as a 0:06:44.000 --> 0:06:47.320 pretty as pretty rapid, right, so that's going to be 0:06:47.480 --> 0:06:51.000 And seeing they've got Jacob Bethel number three, he's on debut, 0:06:51.480 --> 0:06:53.599 I was gonna say, doesn't ring a bell left left 0:06:53.640 --> 0:06:55.840 hander at first time betting at number three as well, 0:06:55.960 --> 0:06:58.880 So it's a bit but there's a bit going on. Obviously, 0:06:58.920 --> 0:07:01.640 Nathan Smith will be making his debut for New Zealand 0:07:01.640 --> 0:07:06.279 as part of the Saudi O'Rourke and Matt Henry combo, 0:07:07.839 --> 0:07:09.800 so there's a little bit going on for that England team. 0:07:10.560 --> 0:07:14.080 It's gonna be a fascinating first day, yes, because I 0:07:14.520 --> 0:07:15.920 just don't know how to how to pick up. I mean, 0:07:15.960 --> 0:07:19.000 obviously we've got the confidence from India. Yeah, they got 0:07:19.040 --> 0:07:23.680 a fairly kind of fresh team. But they'll be coming 0:07:23.720 --> 0:07:26.520 with the BBC, the McCallum with the Bears BDC. 0:07:26.800 --> 0:07:29.920 Yeah, maybe they. Who's Sir Jeffrey Boycott. 0:07:30.880 --> 0:07:35.000 Jeffrey boy He is an old Yorkshire cricketer, used to 0:07:35.040 --> 0:07:37.880 play for England. He's the dry ass guy who on 0:07:38.000 --> 0:07:38.760 all the commentaries. 0:07:39.120 --> 0:07:42.160 So he's written an article this week saying that what 0:07:42.280 --> 0:07:44.360 New Zealand should do because we just beat India in 0:07:44.520 --> 0:07:48.320 India three nil. They just lost to who Pakistan two one, 0:07:48.520 --> 0:07:51.000 two to one, both in dust bowls. He said, if 0:07:51.000 --> 0:07:53.280 we had any balls, we'd prepare a dust bowl here 0:07:53.280 --> 0:07:53.760 in New Zealand. 0:07:53.800 --> 0:07:54.400 Well that's what I mentioned. 0:07:54.440 --> 0:07:56.640 You said, it's like Justice one dust bowl. Yeah, well 0:07:57.160 --> 0:08:00.640 for the start and Wellington's my basin, Rezis was my ground. 0:08:00.680 --> 0:08:02.320 Yeah, well he said we don't have the stones to 0:08:02.400 --> 0:08:04.640 do it. Fucking Boycott. 0:08:04.800 --> 0:08:09.760 So Boycott was notoriously slow. He was notoriously known as 0:08:09.760 --> 0:08:13.080 the world's slowest and most boring batsman. People would run 0:08:13.160 --> 0:08:15.000 him out just to get rid of him, like his 0:08:15.120 --> 0:08:17.559 own team. His own team would run him out because 0:08:17.600 --> 0:08:18.560 he was so dull. 0:08:18.680 --> 0:08:21.000 Yeah right, that's like when Chris k occupied the crest 0:08:21.000 --> 0:08:24.080 for all twenty overs of Trade's eleven yea, and yeah 0:08:24.080 --> 0:08:26.880 he scored twenty something himself, but it was directly the 0:08:26.920 --> 0:08:27.760 reason we lost him. 0:08:28.760 --> 0:08:31.480 It wasn't the catchers, it was him holding up an 0:08:31.600 --> 0:08:33.000 end to the T twenty. It's not what you do. 0:08:33.600 --> 0:08:36.240 He set up the brick wall. He's like, I did. 0:08:36.520 --> 0:08:38.480 We're like, yeah, thanks mate, you did. 0:08:39.880 --> 0:08:42.160 Yeah, No, I just I reckon we should do it 0:08:42.280 --> 0:08:45.120 as well. But I don't understand why we don't do 0:08:45.240 --> 0:08:47.880 more of It's so much more fun bowling spin watching 0:08:47.920 --> 0:08:50.559 spin bowlers. Yeah, but we just go green zeema. 0:08:50.840 --> 0:08:51.040 Yeah. 0:08:51.480 --> 0:08:53.920 Yeah, I don't know. What what do you do to Pip? 0:08:54.000 --> 0:08:56.959 I mean, maybe ask kJ Maybe we'll give him a call. 0:08:57.000 --> 0:08:58.520 How do you prepare a dust bowl? Do you just 0:08:58.600 --> 0:09:01.360 burn the grass off? Is it the type of clay 0:09:01.480 --> 0:09:03.400 that you use? Is it? How do you do you 0:09:03.520 --> 0:09:05.880 just fucking roll the ship out of it until nothing 0:09:05.920 --> 0:09:07.199 can live on it? I don't know. 0:09:07.360 --> 0:09:09.240 You'd have to get the deimo out of it first. Yeah, 0:09:09.720 --> 0:09:12.439 issue didn't get the cartoos out. 0:09:12.520 --> 0:09:12.720 Yeah. 0:09:13.000 --> 0:09:15.160 I think Wellington is the one. I don't know why 0:09:15.520 --> 0:09:19.800 it's got the vibe. Hamilton potentially could turn into it. 0:09:19.800 --> 0:09:20.880 You could turn that into a dustball. 0:09:20.920 --> 0:09:22.480 Well, yeah, what happened last year when all of a 0:09:22.520 --> 0:09:25.760 sudden the spinners looked incredible, that was because it was bouncing. 0:09:26.440 --> 0:09:28.599 Yeah, something happened last season where it was remember we 0:09:29.000 --> 0:09:31.400 misread this African Test and it was turning on day one. 0:09:31.760 --> 0:09:35.280 Yeah, we dropped no spinner. We had no spinners.

They're saying 0:10:26.280 --> 0:10:27.439 swing law Stweech area. 0:10:27.440 --> 0:10:29.400 In the early days, that are one of their greatest chances. 0:10:29.440 --> 0:10:31.520 When when you can get three dollars to the pound, 0:10:32.640 --> 0:10:35.559 and then that's saying we've got one dollar. 0:10:35.760 --> 0:10:39.959 To the pound, we've got two dollars to the pound, 0:10:40.080 --> 0:10:47.520 we've got three. Yeah. I love a good financial about 0:10:47.559 --> 0:10:51.360 coming over here. Just yeah, yeah. 0:10:51.440 --> 0:10:54.280 I remember going to a game where I actually watched 0:10:54.400 --> 0:10:58.360 Shane Warn play one time, and these dudes up behind me. 0:10:58.400 --> 0:11:00.360 They went to the Barmi Army obviously, but they were 0:11:00.400 --> 0:11:03.200 just yelling who ate all the pies the entire game, 0:11:03.280 --> 0:11:05.319 who ate all the pies? And I just as a 0:11:05.480 --> 0:11:06.920 like ten year old kid, I was like, this is 0:11:06.920 --> 0:11:10.120 the greatest day of my life. You ate all the pies? 0:11:10.360 --> 0:11:13.240 You're allowed to abuse so much? Yeah, what are your fair? Past? 0:11:13.240 --> 0:11:15.000 Me and my dad up there just giving it to him. 0:11:16.720 --> 0:11:19.439 That's powerful. Just while we're talking cricket as well, and 0:11:19.480 --> 0:11:21.439 before we take a quick break, we did. I just 0:11:21.520 --> 0:11:23.520 realized this morning we actually didn't touch on it at all. 0:11:23.600 --> 0:11:27.200 But the IPL auction was over the weekend, a slave auction. 0:11:27.320 --> 0:11:30.040 The slave auction. I hate the way that they say 0:11:30.080 --> 0:11:30.760 that they were sold. 0:11:31.280 --> 0:11:33.840 Yeah, it's the slave auction that was held in Reed. 0:11:34.320 --> 0:11:37.040 Oh I don't know it was in Saudi Arabia. 0:11:36.679 --> 0:11:41.240 Any Yeah, but only really from Lovely twenty for New Zealand, 0:11:41.280 --> 0:11:44.640 I think. But he got paid to lat On a 0:11:44.640 --> 0:11:48.720 bit million now when he that goes straight to him, right, yeah, 0:11:48.840 --> 0:11:49.480 it does. 0:11:49.360 --> 0:11:51.240 A part of it goes to New Zealand, not. 0:11:51.320 --> 0:11:55.120 For him, no, because he doesn't have the central contract, 0:11:55.200 --> 0:11:57.040 so they wouldn't get a cut of it. 0:11:57.440 --> 0:11:57.839 He doesn't. 0:11:57.920 --> 0:12:00.200 That's it's it's really convoluted about how they pay them 0:12:00.200 --> 0:12:03.600 as well. You've got to play every game, right if 0:12:03.600 --> 0:12:05.520 you're available to every game. It's different from if you 0:12:05.559 --> 0:12:09.040 play every game, and it's kind of kind of pro 0:12:09.200 --> 0:12:12.680 rata to that. So if you don't have the maximum, so. 0:12:12.720 --> 0:12:15.120 If you just don't get picked but you're healthy, you 0:12:15.200 --> 0:12:15.840 don't get paid. 0:12:15.880 --> 0:12:18.760 You get paid not the full whack. Yeah, right, and 0:12:18.800 --> 0:12:21.120 then you got Rishian part went for five million. 0:12:21.280 --> 0:12:22.720 That doesn't pass the sniff test. 0:12:23.160 --> 0:12:26.080 Yeah, they love him though, they love they love him. 0:12:26.120 --> 0:12:27.920 He's the every day's hero. He's a little bit chubby. 0:12:27.960 --> 0:12:29.199 He keeps and he's smecks the ball. 0:12:31.480 --> 0:12:33.000 Like I said, I saw them warming up and we 0:12:33.080 --> 0:12:35.320 were playing against him and he did a bloody handspring. 0:12:36.240 --> 0:12:38.000 I was like, what the fuck is that? This ud? 0:12:38.080 --> 0:12:38.800 Looks like meat? 0:12:40.160 --> 0:12:42.360 Yeah, well he's got for six weeks work, he's got 0:12:42.400 --> 0:12:43.720 five got a million bucks a week. 0:12:43.920 --> 0:12:45.600 Yeah, that is that is ridiculous. 0:12:45.840 --> 0:12:49.120 I saw that Mitchell, Darrel Mitchell didn't go and I 0:12:49.240 --> 0:12:51.360 was like, that's confusing because I remember he got the 0:12:51.440 --> 0:12:52.199 bag last year. 0:12:52.320 --> 0:12:56.720 Yeah, because Conway. Conway's been selected along with Ravendra. Yes, 0:12:57.080 --> 0:12:58.480 they're the only ones in the first round. 0:12:58.559 --> 0:13:01.120 Yeah, but Mitchell missed out and I found out that 0:13:01.360 --> 0:13:04.040 he actually had a reserve price of about four hundred 0:13:04.040 --> 0:13:04.360 and something. 0:13:04.520 --> 0:13:09.920 K oh, we have a limited space remaining on the podcast. 0:13:09.960 --> 0:13:13.640 Set up the memory card. This could be a short podcast. 0:13:14.880 --> 0:13:18.200 No, but well he had a reserve of four hundred 0:13:18.200 --> 0:13:20.040 and sixty cable, which I don't know. I don't understand 0:13:20.080 --> 0:13:22.000 how that's sit but that he just missed out on 0:13:22.200 --> 0:13:23.600 money because of that reserve. 0:13:23.960 --> 0:13:24.840 The reserve too high. 0:13:24.920 --> 0:13:27.640 Yeah, yeah, well Ben Stokes has sit them out completely. 0:13:27.720 --> 0:13:29.920 He's pulled himself out of the auction. He's going to 0:13:30.040 --> 0:13:31.280 concentrate and playing for bears. 0:13:31.280 --> 0:13:34.719 He's decided he's got enough money. Yeah, that's ridiculous. And 0:13:35.000 --> 0:13:37.120 Dave good news though, David, dam dumm. He also got 0:13:37.200 --> 0:13:39.839 left off. Oh thank god. Yeah, he didn't get packed either. 0:13:40.400 --> 0:13:42.320 I'd actually probably rather he did get picked than then 0:13:42.360 --> 0:13:43.600 this list of him in the commentary. 0:13:43.760 --> 0:13:48.280 Yeah true, actually, yeah, all right, let us take a break. 0:13:48.280 --> 0:13:50.559 We're going to check the equipment here, make sure it 0:13:50.600 --> 0:13:53.160 doesn't fail us, and then they will be right back. 0:13:56.040 --> 0:13:57.680 All right, Well, we don't know how long this podcast 0:13:57.800 --> 0:13:59.360 is going to go for, because we've just received a 0:13:59.400 --> 0:14:02.640 warning on our remote recorder that it's got limited space. 0:14:03.480 --> 0:14:05.439 Didn't tell us how much space it's got left. No, 0:14:05.640 --> 0:14:06.480 there is a number on there. 0:14:06.520 --> 0:14:07.160 This is fourteen. 0:14:07.200 --> 0:14:08.959 Now, that could mean that we've got fourteen minutes left, 0:14:09.040 --> 0:14:11.360 but we've also been recording for fourteen so well. 0:14:11.320 --> 0:14:13.600 Yeah, Look, it's like when Petrolt comes on in the car. 0:14:13.760 --> 0:14:15.520 You don't know exactly how far you can go. Some 0:14:15.679 --> 0:14:17.840 say eighty ks, some say fifty, some say twenty. 0:14:18.000 --> 0:14:20.120 Yeah, we don't have the range on here, so we're 0:14:20.160 --> 0:14:22.080 just going to ride this thing into the Rocks. Joe 0:14:22.160 --> 0:14:24.040 Juria's had to go back early. He would know how 0:14:24.080 --> 0:14:26.440 to fix this. But he is in Auckland setting up 0:14:26.480 --> 0:14:29.520 for the commentary, which is everywhere we go and everyone 0:14:29.600 --> 0:14:31.200 that we've seen since we've been down here in christ 0:14:31.280 --> 0:14:32.320 it just said the exact same thing. 0:14:32.360 --> 0:14:36.280 Oh, he goes down for the cricket. Wow, funnily enough. No, no, 0:14:36.480 --> 0:14:37.160 we'll be back up. 0:14:37.600 --> 0:14:39.880 We will be back up in Auckland to commentate the 0:14:39.920 --> 0:14:42.080 game that's going on just down the road from where 0:14:42.080 --> 0:14:46.480 we are right now. Some other stories in the sporting world, 0:14:46.760 --> 0:14:48.720 Joseph park has just announced a new fight. He's going 0:14:48.800 --> 0:14:52.320 to fight d Boys Dubois du Bois, who is the 0:14:52.360 --> 0:14:58.000 guy who just knocked out Anthony Joshua. Yeah, yes, Anthony Joshua. 0:14:58.080 --> 0:14:59.880 He's going to fight him in Saudi twenty twenty two 0:15:00.080 --> 0:15:04.320 for the IBF title. Which is great news for Joseph 0:15:04.400 --> 0:15:07.960 Parker because he had I believe a contract or some 0:15:08.120 --> 0:15:11.680 sort of agreement in place for the for one of 0:15:11.720 --> 0:15:13.760 the fights in December that he was going to be 0:15:13.840 --> 0:15:16.480 on the card and then for whatever reason, they announced 0:15:16.480 --> 0:15:18.160 the card and he saw he wasn't on it. So 0:15:18.240 --> 0:15:21.440 he's like, oh, they've they've bloody slocked me. I've turned 0:15:21.480 --> 0:15:23.240 my microphone on and my notes ap, it's just written 0:15:23.280 --> 0:15:28.600 down everything. I just said, what the hell? So yeah, 0:15:29.120 --> 0:15:32.200 so Saudi again, Saudi again. That's where it's all happening. Now, 0:15:32.520 --> 0:15:34.720 all happens in Saudi, all of the boxing. I'm fine 0:15:34.760 --> 0:15:36.360 with it. Like I said, for the longest time, I've 0:15:36.400 --> 0:15:38.880 been saying, we should just have one place and everyone 0:15:38.960 --> 0:15:41.880 does all of this sport there and it's happening, and 0:15:41.920 --> 0:15:42.920 it's the Middle East, if youah. 0:15:42.920 --> 0:15:45.200 The only problem is, I mean, the Middle East is fine. Sadi. 0:15:45.440 --> 0:15:47.400 Saudi's a little bit tougher to have a good time, 0:15:47.480 --> 0:15:49.840 and yeah, you know, it's not quite as loose as 0:15:49.920 --> 0:15:51.320 Dubai or even Abdhabi. 0:15:52.520 --> 0:15:54.840 Yeah, so yeah, I don't know if all of. 0:15:54.840 --> 0:15:57.600 It needs to be played in Saudi unless they create 0:15:57.640 --> 0:15:59.200 a little principality where you can actually. 0:15:59.000 --> 0:16:01.080 Get past them. Yes, I feel like they'd be open 0:16:01.120 --> 0:16:02.200 to that. Yeah, they probably would. 0:16:02.200 --> 0:16:04.280 They don't mind letting the wistern pigs just roll around 0:16:04.320 --> 0:16:06.200 in their shit if they want to, you know, as 0:16:06.240 --> 0:16:08.520 long as they're not doing they'll let. 0:16:08.480 --> 0:16:10.520 You just sort of go on go and do your 0:16:10.560 --> 0:16:14.920 thing over the Western pegs rolling around in this shit. No. 0:16:15.120 --> 0:16:18.080 Yeah, so that's good news for Joseph Parker. I'm pretty 0:16:18.080 --> 0:16:20.720 excited about that. To the social media disc do you 0:16:20.840 --> 0:16:23.680 follow Bryson dis Chambeau on Instagram? 0:16:23.840 --> 0:16:26.280 No? I don't. Well, he's worth a follow at the moment. 0:16:26.360 --> 0:16:28.880 He's doing this thing where he's obviously got a putting 0:16:28.920 --> 0:16:31.320 green at the back of his house and he is 0:16:32.280 --> 0:16:35.120 standing in the front of his house on a little 0:16:35.560 --> 0:16:40.320 astro turf thing and he's doing every day he's trying 0:16:40.360 --> 0:16:41.800 to hit a hole in one over his house. 0:16:42.520 --> 0:16:45.680 I've seen memes of people trying to do it and 0:16:45.720 --> 0:16:47.320 then just caning it through their front window. 0:16:47.720 --> 0:16:48.520 Well, this is the thing. 0:16:48.560 --> 0:16:51.080 The entire front of his house is glass too, and 0:16:51.240 --> 0:16:54.520 so he for every day he's doing it, he gets 0:16:55.280 --> 0:16:57.960 that many shots. So it's day fifteen today and he 0:16:58.040 --> 0:17:00.640 took fifteen shots to try and get it spoiler alert 0:17:00.720 --> 0:17:03.720 didn't get it. But every day, yeah, day one one shot, 0:17:03.840 --> 0:17:06.639 day two to two shots. He's very close, like very 0:17:06.760 --> 0:17:09.160 very close. And so he's standing in his driveway heads 0:17:09.200 --> 0:17:12.359 it over his house and his mate standing up on 0:17:12.440 --> 0:17:14.560 top of the roof film in the whole thing so 0:17:14.720 --> 0:17:15.600 that he can see how. 0:17:15.560 --> 0:17:18.119 Close he got. Yeah. Shit, he's getting close. It's like 0:17:18.920 --> 0:17:21.359 the level of skill. 0:17:21.400 --> 0:17:24.000 I mean, I'm not breaking any news here, but he's 0:17:24.000 --> 0:17:26.920 a pretty good golfer, but just the level of it, 0:17:27.080 --> 0:17:29.000 like to be able to head it over the house 0:17:29.040 --> 0:17:31.760 of that smashing it would be, yeah, what I would 0:17:31.760 --> 0:17:35.800 be aiming to do. But he knows he's about a 0:17:35.880 --> 0:17:38.480 foot off. I'm actually gonna be a bit disappointed when 0:17:38.480 --> 0:17:41.160 he finally does it, but gonna look up Bryson Dcembo. 0:17:41.240 --> 0:17:43.119
