Speaker 1: Live from the Export Beer Gadden's studio and brought to you,
Speaker 1: as always by Export Ultra the BF for here. This
Speaker 1: is the Agenda for a Thursday, the seventeenth of October.
Speaker 2: The Agenda podcast, the home of Sporting Nonsense and Clap Trap,
Speaker 2: brought to you by Export Ultra.
Speaker 1: And later on in the show we will be joined
Speaker 1: by Ali Williams, who is in the car wash at
Speaker 1: the moment, which is what we refer to when someone
Speaker 1: comes through and is interviewed by every media outlet in
Speaker 1: the building.
Speaker 3: Yep.
Speaker 1: I'm sure he's been at every other building. I know
Speaker 1: he was in at Sky on Tuesdays on my team
Speaker 1: for Gamer two Haves tonight eight thirty pm on Sky
Speaker 1: and Sky's Sky Open yep. But joining us in the
Speaker 1: podcast this morning is New Zealand's answer to Adrian Wodrian Narowski.
Speaker 1: It is James mcconny, Good morning, Good morning. Wo'se bombs
Speaker 1: boo boo boo, boo boom everywhere. And a more obscure
Speaker 1: reference that I was trying to get off on social
Speaker 1: media was Jams Sheronia, you know, because Woe is retired.
Speaker 1: If you don't know, I've got no idea what these.
Speaker 4: Are the NBA reporters who come up with all the
Speaker 4: early scoops on the NBA.
Speaker 1: Stuff and Woj's Hall of Famer. He just retired this
Speaker 1: year and in his stead is now this though, Shams Scherania.
Speaker 1: That's picking it all up. So jam no, I got
Speaker 1: it's fine, but you broke a broke a Woje bomb.
Speaker 1: Was it last night yes?
Speaker 4: Or maybe uh early? I was in midday yesterday. I
Speaker 4: just got sick of all the New Zealand journalists were
Speaker 4: just not onto it. So I don't really want to
Speaker 4: do this. I don't want to have to put out
Speaker 4: stories or angles. But I'm just like, oh, for foxs sake.
Speaker 4: So I just said, you know that Hoskinstitutu will not
Speaker 4: be playing for the All Blacks fifteen that he had
Speaker 4: turned down to play for a turned down raiser to
Speaker 4: play for the All Blacks in Japan because he's got
Speaker 4: a knee injury and so, but crucially that means it
Speaker 4: keeps his options open, doesn't it to go skippity doo
Speaker 4: overseas and play for either England or Fiji. Qualifies for
Speaker 4: Figi of course, through Wassaki, his dad and then his
Speaker 4: mum is English or as an English passport, so he's
Speaker 4: got options, you know.
Speaker 1: Is that because he has played for the All Blacks right.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but I think the last game was in twenty
Speaker 4: twenty two, so it's a three year stand down. If
Speaker 4: you want to play another another nation the next year,
Speaker 4: he'd be almost straight in there. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Oh man, they'd put him straight in, wouldn't they.
Speaker 4: I think England would love it. But then can they
Speaker 4: afford him because English rugby clad rugby is a little
Speaker 4: bit dicey at the moment. But if the arif you said, well, well,
Speaker 4: well yeah, we'll talk to our people, because they've.
Speaker 1: Got many of money, so much twicking twigs and range
Speaker 1: rovers yeah and range rovers and estates yes, and those
Speaker 1: weird little gum type gumboot things that they were. But
Speaker 1: couldn't you the England. Are you allowed to play in
Speaker 1: France but still play for England?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 1: Oh, you have to play in England.
Speaker 4: They have to play for the in the English Premiership
Speaker 4: and that's the thing. So for Fiji, I say, reviewer,
Speaker 4: we'll find you and come play for us. Yeah, And
Speaker 4: so that'd be pretty cool because even if if they
Speaker 4: started assembling a team of Fijians who were sort of
Speaker 4: thinking about playing for another country or whatever, you know,
Speaker 4: like a tabatava nahwai or whatever. Although they've got lots
Speaker 4: of wingers, right, but you start getting your what your hoskins,
Speaker 4: Sotutu's coming around.
Speaker 1: Mark no longer need to work there exactly might have
Speaker 1: played union in a few years.
Speaker 4: True, I can't deal with it, and so yeah, that
Speaker 4: would be incredible. But yeah, playing for England. I kind
Speaker 4: of applaud if he does it because it's the most
Speaker 4: trolly thing to do.
Speaker 5: Also financially the best thing to do.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that could be right. It's tricky because
Speaker 4: he would command so much money in France or Japan.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he is France in particularly.
Speaker 5: While still playing by having international goals. England's the best
Speaker 5: one because you played international rugby and get paid a
Speaker 5: ship load.
Speaker 4: That's the thing. If you want to sort of cement
Speaker 4: your legacy is a really great test playable then England.
Speaker 4: You've got so many opportunities to just go well. The
Speaker 4: tilted the title of course will title, but the Six
Speaker 4: Nations is a big deal, even though we sort of
Speaker 4: think it's the box kicking championships, the world box kicking
Speaker 4: champions falls back instead of like, okay, we accept it's
Speaker 4: quite good, but except for elite, Oh I don't provedn't proved.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I look at that French competition and I
Speaker 1: think if you're like, obviously everyone wants to be an
Speaker 1: all black, every kid in this country. But you know,
Speaker 1: there's nothing wrong with just being a professional rugby player
Speaker 1: for a job, like and if you're going to do that,
Speaker 1: you could do worse than France. Those parades that they
Speaker 1: throw after they win the championship, the crowds that they
Speaker 1: get at those games, like, it looks like a sick
Speaker 1: place to be a professional rugby player, doesn't it.
Speaker 4: It is, the only issue with France is how long
Speaker 4: the season is. It just they pretty much grind you down.
Speaker 4: So if you're a number eight, they're expecting so many carries,
Speaker 4: head ups, what do you call it? Like jackals, your jackals,
Speaker 4: you're turning up to rucks, you clean outs? Yeah, all
Speaker 4: that sort of shit, and it's it goes on forever.
Speaker 4: That's why France are threatening to send an understrength team
Speaker 4: to New Zealand next year because this season is still
Speaker 4: in playoff mode and they're like, well we don't do
Speaker 4: not care. There's a long we bummed you once and
Speaker 4: now we just dignor fuck you.
Speaker 1: Can we still do excellent? I think I think you
Speaker 1: can do French.
Speaker 4: French is still look gay. We will not get canceled doing.
Speaker 1: Any white guys.
Speaker 5: I think about Italian Italian French.
Speaker 4: I think Italian. I feel like you can get canceled
Speaker 4: for being too Italian.
Speaker 5: I think why because come after you, you just don't
Speaker 5: want to keeps doing that.
Speaker 1: Open open season on the Irish help on Irish Scottish.
Speaker 4: Russians are all good, you know, does give them there?
Speaker 5: Still we have a great we have a great Russian.
Speaker 1: I support man named.
Speaker 5: And Surge came down and he was he was changing
Speaker 5: over service for each brand. And he came down here
Speaker 5: and the Flavor radio station is just here next to us,
Speaker 5: and he was looking at it lost, and I said,
Speaker 5: are you right? He goes, you're woking for someone form
Speaker 5: of floor and I was like, you, Mikie, do for.
Speaker 1: Is a flowing floor office?
Speaker 4: Because my my beautiful lit where I'm thinking of.
Speaker 1: All of me. He came down, he said, this graph
Speaker 1: on the roof a reactor for.
Speaker 5: So I hope he found flav but he did. He
Speaker 5: was standing right next to it. There was just no
Speaker 5: one there.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so who are the people that Peter Archives have
Speaker 4: been brought in?
Speaker 1: Josh Lord? Just Lord's been brought up.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Josh Lord, big unit, beautiful man, goofy bastard. Love
Speaker 4: him because he's kind of like the fun guy, the
Speaker 4: lock and so yeah, here's he's he's just good value,
Speaker 4: Josh Lord. And so it's this is a big chance.
Speaker 4: He's looking pretty good. Like now he's sort of turned
Speaker 4: that corner because he came in as a baby draft
Speaker 4: is like.
Speaker 1: Nineteen or something called up for that Northern tour just
Speaker 1: because what we don't have enough locks? Is that what
Speaker 1: it was?
Speaker 4: Yeah? I feel like it was just like almost what
Speaker 4: are they doing in the NFL the combine right where
Speaker 4: they just measured him and went yep, okay, yeah you
Speaker 4: go on the plane.
Speaker 1: Yep, it's mighty Williams, all these kind of guys. Yeah
Speaker 1: are you six foot eight?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Do you want to come play for the All Blacks?
Speaker 4: Yes?
Speaker 1: Yeah you do? Have you heard of them? Yeah? That's right.
Speaker 1: I was wondering if maybe he was a bit of
Speaker 1: a who's our man? American dad? Look Jacobson. Yes, because
Speaker 1: he looks like a future All Black captain, Like physically,
Speaker 1: that's what he looks like. And I always wondered if
Speaker 1: that's why he got because he got called into all
Speaker 1: of those chiefs early, into the all Black squad early.
Speaker 1: Do you think he's getting pretty privileged? I think he
Speaker 1: was getting a little bit of pretty privilege. Now he's
Speaker 1: backed it up. But I do wonder if because he's
Speaker 1: one of those guys that an All Black selected a
Speaker 1: rugby coach looks at and.
Speaker 4: Goes, yeah, I want him to be so do you
Speaker 4: can cut it? Isn't actually the goat. He just got
Speaker 4: pretty privilege the whole way through.
Speaker 1: Possibly I think he's definitely the goat, but I think
Speaker 1: the pretty privilege helps.
Speaker 4: I think it helped to get in a few teams here.
Speaker 5: Because you look at you look at the likes of
Speaker 5: who is Simon Calhane. Yeah, you know he didn't get
Speaker 5: much privilege.
Speaker 4: No, there's nothing. He's battling away and he's like come on,
Speaker 4: and they're like, even agree, he's quite cute.
Speaker 1: He's cute, but it's not hot.
Speaker 4: Carlos is hot. Carlos Dan Carter's hot. Nick Evans so
Speaker 4: it was skipping and Bowden's good looking. He sorted out
Speaker 4: his teeth. Yeah, he is hot, and he's kind of like,
Speaker 4: how would you call it, just like a storybook hero,
Speaker 4: you know, you can imagine on a horse riding he's
Speaker 4: a prig.
Speaker 1: A hot guy. I mean, obviously Richard Carhu, We'll probably
Speaker 1: be right up there with I'm just thinking tense but sorry, yes, yes,
Speaker 1: but yes, Cahu, you were just changing the whole paradigm
Speaker 1: and just going hot wen't. Yeah, but would you say
Speaker 1: I would say, would you say, if we're going Australian,
Speaker 1: would you consider Stephen Larkham to be hot when he
Speaker 1: was playing?
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 1: Nah, he's a bit.
Speaker 5: He's a bit skeletory for me, Like just a bit.
Speaker 1: I know, saying yeah, the hit gear and the tape everywhere,
Speaker 1: but you put them in.
Speaker 4: The living suit beside a Spanish villa and you're going, oh, yeah, okay,
Speaker 4: just a bit of shit, unbuttoned the Man Simon shirt
Speaker 4: and yeah, exactly, I get it.
Speaker 1: He does have a touch of the James Bonds about
Speaker 1: him now as a coach.
Speaker 4: Yes, so I think he does have leading men looks
Speaker 4: and he's got a mole in the right place, you know,
Speaker 4: like he's got a good mole, one of the great moles,
Speaker 4: one of the great moles, Stephen Larkham.
Speaker 1: I've always said that about Stephen Larkham. He goes through
Speaker 1: gaps and he's got one of the great moles. Ethan
Speaker 1: Blackadder's also out as well. Yet another injury for Ethan Blackadder.
Speaker 1: Then you can't is it just because he's too reckless?
Speaker 1: Is this what it is? I don't know. It's just
Speaker 1: he's just dangerously unlucky and Dalton Papoli as well. So
Speaker 1: it's interesting to me that we're only bringing in Peter
Speaker 1: Lucky and Josh Lord, wouldn't we want another Lucy in there?
Speaker 4: Well they did ask.
Speaker 1: And now they're going, oh shit, okay, so.
Speaker 4: Not you, by the way, should they be playing a
Speaker 4: bit of Australian crawl to Ethan Blake and you know
Speaker 4: in his rehab.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, had Man, don't be so reckless throw down
Speaker 1: your god because I just heard you call them recklar.
Speaker 1: It takes a while to get into the chorus on
Speaker 1: that song. You'll notice that anytime you throw it on
Speaker 1: at a party, other songs made and you're like, oh yeah,
Speaker 1: it goes on for a while. There's about a yeah,
Speaker 1: sixteen baron a manly ferry. Yeah, makes sits away across
Speaker 1: the bay. I think this is a would you like
Speaker 1: a hot take place? Get the hot takes thing? Really,
Speaker 1: ge Lane, you'l you might like this?
Speaker 4: Why not pick that absolute freak of nature from the
Speaker 4: mulus Oli mephis open side flanker who played on the
Speaker 4: last week scored a try on the wing. Put the
Speaker 4: step on.
Speaker 1: And he's a flanker people.
Speaker 4: And when he played, when he kept using secondary schools,
Speaker 4: he had a game where it was like a heck
Speaker 4: and two crazy assists, like it was run meters of
Speaker 4: three hundred and something plus. And I know that's schoolboy rugby,
Speaker 4: but every level he looks amazing. Yeah, And so why
Speaker 4: not just go? This guy's so talented. Were still not
Speaker 4: sure what position he should play?
Speaker 1: Just pick him?
Speaker 5: So is he naturally a fling cap inside?
Speaker 4: Yeah? And he played on the wing, played right wing
Speaker 4: for the scored a try. I love this kind of
Speaker 4: it's got quite a good try aim and I.
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh yeah, well I've seen it. I'm going to
Speaker 1: have to follow that. He had two tracking across from
Speaker 1: here He's managed to get shake one pretty easily, just
Speaker 1: a little stop and then duck the dove in. It
Speaker 1: was almost like a touch try in the end. You
Speaker 1: know they're just dive in and you can't get low
Speaker 1: enough for them. You don't want to hear that's right.
Speaker 1: So yeah, he looks, he looks tremendous. Say let's take
Speaker 1: a quick break and let's talk about the MPC here.
Speaker 1: So we do have a couple of MPC semi finals
Speaker 1: this weekend, fellas, We've got the Josh Morby Memorial Battle
Speaker 1: of Topau and that's Wellington versus.
Speaker 4: There's Josh Morebury already gone to France. I feel like
Speaker 4: he's gone. He hasn't turned up for whiteot Or for
Speaker 4: a while.
Speaker 1: We speak quite a while this morning trying to find
Speaker 1: someone who played for.
Speaker 5: Both played Chiefs and well and Wellington.
Speaker 1: And we settled on Josh Morby.
Speaker 4: I'm just going to have a quick squeeze.
Speaker 1: Also, top was more than Wellington.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but a lot of people from Wellington holiday in Topul.
Speaker 5: It's a very big Wellington bolt hoole. It's either that
Speaker 5: or the sounds where they go. So that's why that's
Speaker 5: the better of Topel, because because that is he is
Speaker 5: Chiefs country as well.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so the Chiefs are not the Chiefs the Mulus.
Speaker 1: They tipped up Taranaki last week, that was and that
Speaker 1: was an upset and thus released Josh Lord for the
Speaker 1: Northern tour a week early. But do you think they
Speaker 1: can keep it going against Wellington this weekend? I know
Speaker 1: you're both Mulu men.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Look the All Blacks are they playing again this weekend?
Speaker 5: When are they off from the Northern tour?
Speaker 1: James?
Speaker 5: Do you know they're off now?
Speaker 1: And all those French All Blacks have gone?
Speaker 4: I believe they have. So like Olmore had an absolute
Speaker 4: blinder and then Billy Proctor was on fire as well.
Speaker 4: So and when your Proctor's on fire, you got caller doc.
Speaker 4: You need to another thing as a rule. But the
Speaker 4: thing is he is. I think Wellington, though losing those guys,
Speaker 4: they're still super strong.
Speaker 1: That's my favorites dollar forty.
Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, but did you the way Aaron Cruden, the
Speaker 4: Old Master Old Yoda controlled the game and Josh Jakin
Speaker 4: the vampire like he was, he's trying everything he could,
Speaker 4: all his vampire powers had him and then yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: and then but Aaron just ran the game and I
Speaker 4: just wonder whether he's kind of got that one last
Speaker 4: title with him and could he could he make a
Speaker 4: big run and control He just ran the cutter, But
Speaker 4: American Dad was the best in show for the for
Speaker 4: the moders last week.
Speaker 1: We were saying earlier this week I made Lane try
Speaker 1: and guess how old Aaron Cruden is. Deceptively young? Do
Speaker 1: you know how he is two? He's thirty five?
Speaker 5: Oh right, Okay, that's what it was, late dirties been
Speaker 5: for so long, he was so young.
Speaker 4: In twenty eleven he was skateboarding, remember when he was
Speaker 4: called into the squad. So he was skateboarding, and fucking
Speaker 4: Beaver was white baiting. So who knows what the other
Speaker 4: person was, will be good if someone was just honestly,
Speaker 4: I'm just watching porn and massive.
Speaker 5: Well that's isn't that what you do in your white
Speaker 5: bait anyway?
Speaker 1: That euphemism, right, that's why they always come back with
Speaker 1: such tiny amounts of white bet. So you've been out
Speaker 1: there all day and you've brought back one little SnapLock
Speaker 1: bag of white bait. Yeah, so yeah, well I've been
Speaker 1: doing other things as well there as you're getting ten
Speaker 1: on the on the phone though, while you're while are
Speaker 1: you going for it? It would just be I don't
Speaker 1: know it would help or where you just sort of
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, it would just be all that's
Speaker 1: all I've got. I've got a better offer for you. Come,
Speaker 1: I play for the all back. Do not tell me
Speaker 1: you masturbating beaver? Are you?
Speaker 4: Are you?
Speaker 1: Stop it? Stop it? Or you go to be fair?
Speaker 4: To be fair? You got me there? You got me
Speaker 4: made ye?
Speaker 1: Well, man, I'm down the river. What if I'm doing
Speaker 1: down there? That's my best beaver. I've lost a little bit.
Speaker 1: I had a great beaver there for a while.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's already clips the ends of the words, doesn't
Speaker 4: he a little bit?
Speaker 1: You're going to drop it down as low as you
Speaker 1: possibly can to be fair. And they're running in the
Speaker 1: back of the last word that said as well, and
Speaker 1: then good, he's going to ask for his boots back
Speaker 1: if you just keep marching into No, this is a
Speaker 1: term of demon. Spend a lot of time mimicking the
Speaker 1: ways of the beaver. And I do have a Worl
Speaker 1: Cup winning boots as well.
Speaker 4: I've got him on FaceTime, now do it?
Speaker 1: Don't they have plenty of playing? Oh sorry, just before
Speaker 1: we do. I was just going to say, cook Savage
Speaker 1: that drop goal? How sick was that? I know?
Speaker 4: I loved that? Someone said to me or it was
Speaker 4: a bit of a wobbi drop goal in anything from
Speaker 4: forty past isn't amazing drop goal?
Speaker 7: A bit wobbly? Who gives give him something like? Why
Speaker 7: don't you always have to say? I was like, there
Speaker 7: was epic and such a good call. I think Crewden
Speaker 7: passing the ball right.
Speaker 1: No, it was the winger. It could have been Cruden,
Speaker 1: I'm not sure, just goes snap it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but anyway, Yes, to pile Cook Savage, what is
Speaker 4: happening with Josh Morby Now? I almost feel like he
Speaker 4: is the guy who would decide the game. But you
Speaker 4: s back to the drop goal, Gulane, you love a droppy.
Speaker 5: I love a droppy, but I also love that name.
Speaker 5: To pile Cook Savage, yes he needs to be an
Speaker 5: all black well it it pretty much.
Speaker 4: Sums up a lot of the early history written by
Speaker 4: bley the Cooks, mainly by the by the British.
Speaker 1: Cook seven his whole. But it was the way he
Speaker 1: did it as well. As soon as he got that ball,
Speaker 1: he knew that's what he was going to do, and
Speaker 1: I feel like he's been waiting all season for that
Speaker 1: very scenario someone doesn't find touch. He's been like, I've
Speaker 1: been trying this training every day. I know I can
Speaker 1: do it. And everyone else around him was okay with
Speaker 1: it too, because up until then they were hammering the
Speaker 1: tryline right and then they tried to clear it, didn't
Speaker 1: get it. He's like, I want to fucking slot this
Speaker 1: from forty watched this, I know, and it was you
Speaker 1: could see the crowd and Tatanaki the just going what
Speaker 1: the fuck this is?
Speaker 4: This isn't the script. They all turned out and huge
Speaker 4: numbers and on one side of the.
Speaker 1: Wrong side too, on the wrong side.
Speaker 4: No, the cameras can't change, but it'll be sorted next
Speaker 4: year maybe. But the way that Taranaki came back and
Speaker 4: the forwards kind of like mowed through everybody in the
Speaker 4: second half ship that was bizarre to me. I just
Speaker 4: couldn't work out how they could changed, what changed, and
Speaker 4: how they couldn't win that because they just made so
Speaker 4: many mesas and every single time, why coulds have tried
Speaker 4: to truck it up? They're just like breck Wall Tartanaki
Speaker 4: defense in place.
Speaker 5: Well, there's a reason why second half Taranaki lost and
Speaker 5: that was the curse of coming on the agenda.
Speaker 1: We had Barnzy on the Weary on.
Speaker 5: The week before, and before that we had bred Shields
Speaker 5: on before the Shield. No, both of them were both
Speaker 5: very very quietly confident, weren't they, And then they came
Speaker 5: on this podcast and then four days later both of
Speaker 5: them were Actually.
Speaker 1: Now that I'm looking at it and recognizing the pattern.
Speaker 1: We also had Nigel Walsh's the coach of South Canterbury
Speaker 1: and Ireland on before they lost their first game and
Speaker 1: four that was about two or three weeks before that happened,
Speaker 1: but that's still a curse.
Speaker 5: And we talked about the Beanfree Shield Challenge with them
Speaker 5: and what we could do to whip around. We actually
Speaker 5: that I'm now remembering back, we said we'd do a
Speaker 5: whip around for the next challenge and he said, we
Speaker 5: haven't won of you boys.
Speaker 4: Yeah, could you could you call that that interview thing
Speaker 4: the ship the bed segment, like in sell it to
Speaker 4: someone like either beds or ship or shipping. Oh yeah,
Speaker 4: well now mida mucial, Yeah, mida mucile like the laxative.
Speaker 5: Yeah, well we've got Ali Williams on next and they've
Speaker 5: got he's got his debut game for Auckland f C.
Speaker 3: Ship outside.
Speaker 1: Now don't tells you'll know what, but also just to
Speaker 1: me if they don't know that. The segments called that
Speaker 1: welcome to the ship the big sig. But for the
Speaker 1: next person, he's got absolutely shit the Neil Buds.
Speaker 4: How's it going.
Speaker 5: We actually had to tell Barnsy we've got his jacket
Speaker 5: as chiefs social club jacket is like one thing where
Speaker 5: they had fucking gone, oh I.
Speaker 4: Know it's not you got given it by one of
Speaker 4: your mates and now he wants it back.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I said, can't carry. He goes here fucking can't carry.
Speaker 5: He wasn't happy. How did you get hold of it?
Speaker 1: I want to talk about America's Cup quickly if I could.
Speaker 4: Please do just bring us up today just before I.
Speaker 1: Do, though, if you haven't heard, James, we're selling our ute,
Speaker 1: that Ford Falcon ute. Look at that the nineteen ninety
Speaker 1: eight Ford Falcon Auto Trader. Want you to tell New
Speaker 1: Zealand about your your car. We're taking the lead here
Speaker 1: and it's a massive own goal because I drive that
Speaker 1: all the time. But you can look out for our
Speaker 1: Ford Falcons going up on in November, so we're get
Speaker 1: another couple of weeks. Annoyingly, work has already cut the
Speaker 1: fuel card off. That's just how that was disappointing. I
Speaker 1: got stuck at the petrol station the other day ringing
Speaker 1: Lane like, what's going over the fuel? Good cut off?
Speaker 1: What about sign? Running the wrap and seen wrapped black?
Speaker 1: It's jet black now yep, so you have faces and
Speaker 1: on it anymore, which is.
Speaker 5: And we've got some new bench seat at the front
Speaker 5: for the for it as well, and we've got a
Speaker 5: few surprises were going to throw in as well.
Speaker 1: Part of the auction wasn't g Lane's mouth with a
Speaker 1: petrol fla chucking nozzle storm purposes?
Speaker 5: You chucked your nozzle down stun purposes, Oh.
Speaker 1: Dear, So yeah, that was the That was the first
Speaker 1: thing we directified. Actually the other day we went and
Speaker 1: we were doing burnout, spun it round, we were rectified it.
Speaker 1: We're doing burnouts and they've filmed it in slow motion
Speaker 1: and for some reason, the fuel the fuel was the
Speaker 1: cap wasn't on quite right, so all of the fuel
Speaker 1: was slotting out of the tank and it was just
Speaker 1: coming out of Storm's face. There's just petrol coming out.
Speaker 4: Like tears and vomiting and stuff.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's so good as we're doing burnouts anyway. If
Speaker 1: you want to buy that, you can November. All of
Speaker 1: the proceeds are going to go to November as well.
Speaker 1: But fell As the America's Cup mesh on the Hadaky
Speaker 1: Breakfast has cursed it because when we were four nil up,
Speaker 1: he said it's sewing up. It's coming home. We can't lose,
Speaker 1: and we said, mate, it's not coming home. That's well,
Speaker 1: obviously it's never coming home, but that's coming.
Speaker 5: That's why I don't care. I'm like, bring on sending
Speaker 5: it back to the Isle of Wight?
Speaker 1: Do you care? It on more? Now? So we will
Speaker 1: four nil up. They've now overnight won two races. It's
Speaker 1: now four to two completely different ball games.
Speaker 4: So we need to get to seven? Is that right?
Speaker 1: First to seven?
Speaker 4: So yeah, I'm the same as Gulane. I just don't
Speaker 4: care as much. It's not down here. I don't know,
Speaker 4: like I mean, it's obviously high level rich people shit,
Speaker 4: and I'm happy for them and I'm gonna let you finish.
Speaker 4: But there's other stuff, you know, like Beyonce made one
Speaker 4: of the greatest video music videos of all time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, of all time, that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I tend to agree. I'm really I mentioned this
Speaker 5: the other day. I'm really struggling my emotions. I'm struggling
Speaker 5: with my emotions. She don't they're not coming back.
Speaker 1: To New Zealand. I don't care. Yeah, I quite like
Speaker 1: the New Zealand.
Speaker 5: I could put up with all the Winkers on their boats,
Speaker 5: shirtless winkers with pals in their hands around. I could
Speaker 5: deal with that because it was here and you get
Speaker 5: to watch it, and I get to watch you get
Speaker 5: out of the vite act and by proxy it was
Speaker 5: quite a cool Atmoss. If they're forever now, it's always
Speaker 5: going to be in Saudi or UAE or Barcelona.
Speaker 1: Oh, my key factor is struggling a little bit. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's imi.
Speaker 4: You get that. The prestige is there, so there's a
Speaker 4: Wikipedia page, it's devoted to it. It's pretty cool saying
Speaker 4: on New Zealand, look we want it, blah blah blah.
Speaker 4: But then now I just think that it doesn't matter enough.
Speaker 4: Like I even think the prestige of all sporting things
Speaker 4: is just dropping a little bit Olympic medals are still
Speaker 4: up there. I think a gold medal and the Olympics
Speaker 4: they reckon a major like leads to the co winning
Speaker 4: the British Open, but then a lot of those other
Speaker 4: things that we were told to care about because we
Speaker 4: all watch the news together collectively. There's one Now it's like, no,
Speaker 4: it's not important to me.
Speaker 1: It's such a good boy. Because the sailing, I always
Speaker 1: was like, I actually don't give a shit about it,
Speaker 1: but everyone's telling me I need to, so okay, will,
Speaker 1: but I don't, Like I never grew up Tuesdays Thursdays
Speaker 1: training sailing and then Saturday regatta like I never had that.
Speaker 1: So it's right. The boats are sick, though, the boats cool.
Speaker 1: Boats are fucking sick. Have you seen the pit that
Speaker 1: the cyclers they they look up, it's disgusting. It's literally
Speaker 1: the shoulders are touching the wall and they're just grinding
Speaker 1: it out like it's just their sweets just pouring down
Speaker 1: the sides of this little they call it the coffin
Speaker 1: that they said it.
Speaker 4: That's old Hamish bonder. There isn't.
Speaker 5: Oh my god, it is like it's yeah, it's a
Speaker 5: strange situation where you've just got guys in there, just specimens,
Speaker 5: just going for it.
Speaker 4: I have to tune in actually and watch it. It's
Speaker 4: going to business end. You've got to watch the you
Speaker 4: gotta watch it when it gets to six or like
Speaker 4: a you know the match point.
Speaker 1: Match point would be great.
Speaker 4: No, it's not.
Speaker 1: It's not bad. Pretend you have to throw the last
Speaker 1: piece of the row for someone overboard or whatever. If
Speaker 1: it's a tie, you just keep throwing people over board.
Speaker 1: Most boundaries instead of a boundary count back, you have
Speaker 1: people overboard count back.
Speaker 8: It's like it was our last money count back. You
Speaker 8: just look who was the thin we lose that. Yeah,
Speaker 8: so that's the.
Speaker 4: The forest nation that's ever won the America.
Speaker 1: And so easily ship there is no one else and
Speaker 1: might be dominating per capita, absolutely dominated. You know, we
Speaker 1: love per capita per per access to ocean. The Swiss
Speaker 1: team along, he's probably winning because they don't have an ocean.
Speaker 4: It's good, exactly. Yeah, landlocked country are really punching above
Speaker 4: their way.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they probably got us there. But yeah, a few lakes.
Speaker 4: We were actually a few lakes. There are lovely lakes.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a little bit of sailing petergree.
Speaker 4: But yeah, no, I was just going to say, now
Speaker 4: that you mentioned lakes, that that's how Deep Purple wrote
Speaker 4: Smoke on the Water. Wasn't it at a there at
Speaker 4: a Swiss lake and they saw a fire on the
Speaker 4: on the other side, fire run side and.
Speaker 1: There every tenage boy taught themselves how to play it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and you could almost do the drug. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Anyway, the rest of that song really lets it down,
Speaker 1: that intro circ and then when it gets into it,
Speaker 1: I really feel like it loses, much like this podcast has.
Speaker 4: It has a little bit I was gonna say enclosing,
Speaker 4: if you want to be proud in New Zealand. Oh,
Speaker 4: actually two things. One as while you're away, Gulane myself
Speaker 4: and and I talked about the idea of having a
Speaker 4: podcast with his dad and my mate who was mad
Speaker 4: about the Warriors, absolutely rabid fans. So that's steward Ons.
Speaker 4: So who my dad your dad is? Is it? Warren
Speaker 4: Warren Warren Stewart and my mate Matt Sievil, who's real
Speaker 4: estate agent in Cambridge, And so I think it might
Speaker 4: just work. So you're gonna have to think about that,
Speaker 4: g Lane. But I would have to mediate those.
Speaker 5: What would be great is if you still had this
Speaker 5: podcast and you basically had another audio stream where those
Speaker 5: two were on a phone together and they just talk warriors,
Speaker 5: and then throughout the podcast we just fade them up
Speaker 5: to see what they're talking about, and.
Speaker 1: They'll be like and then we fade them back down.
Speaker 5: We carry on and then we just can go into
Speaker 5: dipping and out of what they're talking about.
Speaker 1: Well, he's looking at moving back jew so he's already
Speaker 1: approached me about about how serious this offer is.
Speaker 4: Well, why don't we have what about this for an
Speaker 4: idea when you're doing a warrior's call, like a match,
Speaker 4: you have them on on zoom or FaceTime so you
Speaker 4: can go to the lounge and see how the stuff they.
Speaker 1: Are the ultimate commentary you.
Speaker 4: Just you just put it on screening how's Warren Handling's conception?
Speaker 1: Just keep but then you just and it's like.
Speaker 4: Was that TV show they did in England where they
Speaker 4: sort of always follow them in that Yes?
Speaker 1: Was that goggle Box? Yeah?
Speaker 4: Google Box?
Speaker 1: Yeah, with a drim picture with my man just blowing
Speaker 1: up in the lounge. Yeah, you might put it on mute.
Speaker 1: It couldn't be much worse than what we're doing. The
Speaker 1: podcast that yeah, there we go. So that was okay,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, that's while. While we're talking about n r L.
Speaker 1: And just before we get to Allie Williams in the studio,
Speaker 1: we teamed up with our mates at helen Stein's to
Speaker 1: present the ACC's Best of twenty twenty four Warriors edition.
Speaker 1: We wanted to know what the best moments were on
Speaker 1: and off the field for the twenty four Warrior season.
Speaker 1: You voted on social media and the results are in
Speaker 1: and I don't have them written in front of it,
Speaker 1: so you're gonna have to go to social media to
Speaker 1: check them out. But best off field performance, try the year,
Speaker 1: Warrior's newcomer, best moment of the season. It's all on
Speaker 1: the instagram right now. Four of you Lucky Barsard's one
Speaker 1: two hundred dollars worth of Helenstein's just for voting as well.
Speaker 1: So go and check out that and let us know
Speaker 1: whether you agree or disagree in the comments. And without
Speaker 1: any further ado, we're gonna take one last break here
Speaker 1: and when we come back, James mccaroney's going to magically
Speaker 1: turn into Ali Williams. Well, it's a great privilege to
Speaker 1: have co owner of Auckland i FC. He's doing the
Speaker 1: media rounds this week. Ali Williams. Good morning, Ali, gentlemen.
Speaker 1: How are we good?
Speaker 5: Thanks here, and you're in the car wash in the
Speaker 5: car you really took him and I this morning?
Speaker 1: Is they gonna blow your ears off? Mate? She's on
Speaker 1: a bunch of here on your team later will turn
Speaker 1: it down.
Speaker 3: Who shall we speak to? Export?
Speaker 6: There's a lot of sponsors floating around here, but headphones
Speaker 6: are pretty tricky.
Speaker 3: But yeah, I am, I'm right in the blender.
Speaker 1: Yeah, third time you've seen me this week today.
Speaker 6: So the third time I saw someone was once the Queen,
Speaker 6: And when I spoke to the Queen, I said, you know,
Speaker 6: this is the third time we've caught up in a
Speaker 6: New zeal And that constituted a date. Yeah, so this
Speaker 6: is we're dating. Yeah, have fun.
Speaker 1: Smile on. Isn't it when you get isn't it when
Speaker 1: you get to third base?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Fourth base?
Speaker 1: Well, second base for us was discussing whether or not
Speaker 1: shitting yourself in the shower is actually technically shitting yourself
Speaker 1: because Brodi Kine, Well, by the way, we are on
Speaker 1: game or.
Speaker 9: Two halves, so you discussed this on Game of two halves.
Speaker 9: I don't think they recorded it. Okay, I'm hoping it's
Speaker 9: not live. Potentially are you going to ruin that live here?
Speaker 9: So you know, we're just sharing content up. I can't
Speaker 9: see it making the cart.
Speaker 1: But we did discuss with it because I think Brodi
Speaker 1: Kaane did sh herself in the shower and we were like, well,
Speaker 1: I don't think they're shitting yourself. No, it's a wet room.
Speaker 6: She did publicly come out and say that she shared
Speaker 6: herself and.
Speaker 1: I said, look, I don't know I should be around
Speaker 1: this conversation, right, but.
Speaker 3: My view is that.
Speaker 6: If it touches you in the shower, then it's shooting yourself.
Speaker 6: But if it's a clean.
Speaker 1: Drop, right, yeah, it's probably just.
Speaker 6: An informal execution of what can be done in a
Speaker 6: different manner.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I mean, look, I I tend to agree, and it's
Speaker 5: just a little bit of waffle stomping is between you
Speaker 5: and you know, getting rid of the evidence.
Speaker 6: Isn't it waffle stomping? Now here would be the real
Speaker 6: real talk about it. Is is it four foot or
Speaker 6: is it the rare heel.
Speaker 1: I've never done it, but I know Loan's done it
Speaker 1: multiple times. I'm definitely it's definitely the ball, not the heel.
Speaker 3: Got to be it's got to be the heel.
Speaker 6: No, if you're waking, if you're whacking the front, that
Speaker 6: is doing toa squadge and everything.
Speaker 3: That's no good man.
Speaker 5: No, I'm not talking toes like if you like that
Speaker 5: little ball, because.
Speaker 1: That's way more nice, way more dexterous, even though it's yours.
Speaker 3: It's not some cow or I'm random.
Speaker 1: The feeling of it between you. And also, but Lane,
Speaker 1: do you have cracked heels?
Speaker 5: Is that the actually severely cracked heels, So I don't
Speaker 5: want any sort of excrement in there, and I find
Speaker 5: I'm a bit more there's a bit more dexterity with
Speaker 5: the front of my foot as opposed to the back.
Speaker 6: Can well you have a just just two seconds silence
Speaker 6: one because this conversation is going really hideously wrong, but
Speaker 6: also just a just a two seconds silence and more
Speaker 6: a commiseration because my dog last night unfortunately lost his nuts,
Speaker 6: got got them pulled out. So yeah, the poor kid,
Speaker 6: and many was moping around to this morning.
Speaker 1: He just looked at me and would you get it done?
Speaker 5: He's looking at you going what have you done to me?
Speaker 5: And also that we had our dog and they opened
Speaker 5: them up and they look at you and then look
Speaker 5: at it and then they go.
Speaker 1: You did this.
Speaker 3: Just lie?
Speaker 5: Or you're like, h poor guy, I'm feeling did you
Speaker 5: keep his back wheels?
Speaker 3: Yep?
Speaker 1: AND's got them. She's looking at them. I don't know
Speaker 1: what what are you going to do with it?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: What do you do? What do you do with category?
Speaker 1: I not touching? Other people can don't tell the kids.
Speaker 1: So it's in the kind of shame is it so
Speaker 1: that it doesn't lick itself down there? How old is it.
Speaker 3: He will be?
Speaker 6: I'd say about nine eight nine months? Yeah, yeah, Portuguese war.
Speaker 5: You're going to say nine years old.
Speaker 1: You're a bad man if you've done that.
Speaker 6: Anyway, buddy, may I love you, mate, and you don't
Speaker 6: need balls to be to be a man.
Speaker 4: Be a man.
Speaker 5: You thought some thought thought some price working dogs.
Speaker 1: Get out there and for you. We actually do have
Speaker 1: a duck You have Daisy.
Speaker 6: We have Daisy and daisies for Daisy is about three
Speaker 6: weeks old. And the kids, the kids, they're they're quite
Speaker 6: a venturot our lot and they go to keith A
Speaker 6: Park and that duckling type of period time. They walked
Speaker 6: up to us and they said the poor duckling was
Speaker 6: by it and had nothing anyway, Okay, Anda loves her animals,
Speaker 6: so she's like, yep, bring it home and we'll look
Speaker 6: after it.
Speaker 1: A dog with no nuts and a duck and kidnapped
Speaker 1: duck kidnapped an abducted duck.
Speaker 3: So I got the.
Speaker 6: Truth and they were like, yeah, we shoot all the
Speaker 6: others away and we just got and I was like,
Speaker 6: you cheeky bag. So daisies, but Daisy's lives a pretty
Speaker 6: decent life. I imagine a lot of pampering, and so yeah,
Speaker 6: it's definitely a venture playground.
Speaker 3: And then there's then there's.
Speaker 1: Me e, well, the middle of the madhouse.
Speaker 5: I mean, you're obviously in the middle of the media
Speaker 5: car wash for a reason. The Saturday debut game for
Speaker 5: Auckland f C pretty big occasion.
Speaker 1: It's there's a lot of hype around it. Almost sold out.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're almost sold out.
Speaker 6: There's a few more tickets to get, which I'm sure
Speaker 6: we'll get that we'll reach that milestone, which will be
Speaker 6: really really really really good just for a team and
Speaker 6: also for the town to know that ever run's behind us.
Speaker 6: But it's exciting, right, Like, you know, we've all well
Speaker 6: I've done sport, and a lot of the other owners
Speaker 6: have done sport, and Bill and Anna have.
Speaker 3: Done massive things in their lives.
Speaker 6: Right, So if you if you think about it, it's
Speaker 6: little milestones like a sellout, but also it's it's the
Speaker 6: excitement of what you're doing. And it's also the challenge
Speaker 6: that I don't want to sound Donald trumpy, but let's
Speaker 6: make sport fun. Yeah, Like, let's let's bring some real
Speaker 6: excitement exactly what you boys do. Yeah, yeah, let's let's
Speaker 6: make it fun, right because at the moment, I think
Speaker 6: everyone concentrates and focuses on results. Well, trust me, an
Speaker 6: athlete not going out there to lose right now, it
Speaker 6: doesn't matter if it's the Black Clash or whatever it is.
Speaker 6: We all want to win, right, So let's let that
Speaker 6: side to the players. And the guys are getting paid
Speaker 6: the big bucks, you know, all the girls are getting
Speaker 6: paid the money. But as supporters, let's have fun. Like,
Speaker 6: let's enjoy it when we lose in a weird way
Speaker 6: because we can, we can chuck some banter out blah
Speaker 6: blah blah. Let's let's enjoy it when we win. But
Speaker 6: that's also enjoy it when it's using next to your
Speaker 6: mate and something happens and you look at your son
Speaker 6: or your daughter and you say, man, they had a
Speaker 6: lot of fun at that at the game and wearing
Speaker 6: the merchandise and all that sort of stuff. So we're
Speaker 6: challenging ourselves to have some fun, be lighthearted and enjoy
Speaker 6: and get back to the community.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I can't agree more.
Speaker 5: And it's kind of the journey that I think the
Speaker 5: rugby Union's going through around there's a few losses and
Speaker 5: all of a sudden everyone's panicking. But I like it
Speaker 5: because it makes the fans care a little bit more
Speaker 5: and also get make the wins better because when you
Speaker 5: do win, because being a cricket fan since like you know,
Speaker 5: the early nineties, we were so rubbish, but we loved
Speaker 5: it so much that when we occasionally beat Australia, it
Speaker 5: was so much better. Yea, and you had and there
Speaker 5: was a kind of a group of people who didn't
Speaker 5: care about the result. We'd go to the game dressed
Speaker 5: in beij and just be fuck withs for six or
Speaker 5: seven hours.
Speaker 6: Well if you look at the Warriors, right, and you know,
Speaker 6: we all love the Warriors. Whether you're a league fan
Speaker 6: or whether you're not, The Warriors have this I don't
Speaker 6: know what it is. I don't know what their magic sources. Yeah,
Speaker 6: they haven't won a championship in thirty years, right, and
Speaker 6: they have a slogan saying keep the faith. Yeah, mate,
Speaker 6: we all want to see them do well. Is that
Speaker 6: the recipe? The fact that they actually haven't won? You
Speaker 6: know what I mean?
Speaker 1: I know that's scary to say, but is that the recipe?
Speaker 6: But you know, you speak to them and you see
Speaker 6: the Warriors and you're like, you know what, people just
Speaker 6: love going to Warriors games. And regardless if they win
Speaker 6: or lose, they love going to Warriors games because of
Speaker 6: the atmosphere and what it means to them, their family,
Speaker 6: generational stuff. And that's really what we're hoping to get
Speaker 6: to with this football football team.
Speaker 1: Another thing that we talk about a lot on this podcast,
Speaker 1: probably too much, in fact, definitely too much, as the
Speaker 1: whole stadium debacle debate around whether they were going to
Speaker 1: build the waterfront one, then they were going to put
Speaker 1: a bloody roof on the thing. Then we're reading an
Speaker 1: article last week, you guys are looking obviously first season
Speaker 1: is going to be out at Mount Smart and then
Speaker 1: from there are you looking at down the track some
Speaker 1: sort of Western Springs or some sort of stadium types.
Speaker 6: One thing I can tell you is it takes longer
Speaker 6: than a year to build a stage, So it won't
Speaker 6: be next year and it probably won't be the year after.
Speaker 6: But I think given our ownership structure, given our passion
Speaker 6: and loyalty to this town and sports in this country,
Speaker 6: we are looking at every options and how can we.
Speaker 3: Change it.
Speaker 6: You can't just change it from a basically from a
Speaker 6: sports team point of view, but from an ecostructure and
Speaker 6: from a physical structure, that's how you change it and
Speaker 6: turn entertainment. So yes, we are looking at those things,
Speaker 6: and Western Springs is a great location to do something
Speaker 6: like that. But we've got to go through the process
Speaker 6: like anyone else. We've got to go through the process.
Speaker 6: But we're committed, let's put it that way. We're committed
Speaker 6: to give the fans what they want. But it's not
Speaker 6: solely about sport. It's entertainment. It's creating a precinct that people.
Speaker 5: Can I've got nothing about admiration because I dip my
Speaker 5: toes and me Jeremie Wells and a few others are
Speaker 5: when the cricket debate was going on about where cricket
Speaker 5: should be and we got it and we've got an
Speaker 5: architect together and we put a proposal for Victoria Park
Speaker 5: as a test being, you not as a one day
Speaker 5: We don't want a big you know, as fifteen thousand
Speaker 5: people in vic Park and all the corporates that are
Speaker 5: around and everything, and you know, everyone thought it was
Speaker 5: a great idea. But then I like just skimmed the
Speaker 5: edges of council bureaucracy and I fucking nearly wanted to
Speaker 5: finish myself.
Speaker 1: Like I went to so many meetings.
Speaker 3: What I'm saying, I'm in the same rowboat as at
Speaker 3: the moment.
Speaker 5: So I'll say it all. It is tough man, and
Speaker 5: you've got it. I'll be honest. We gave up because
Speaker 5: they just ground us down in the end. And I
Speaker 5: was like, you know what, I care, but I don't
Speaker 5: care that much. I'm just a Joe Bloggs. Just with
Speaker 5: my point there is I think there's a lot of
Speaker 5: good people in there. Yeah, and you know, fundamentally they
Speaker 5: have the mandate. They want to make Auckland great.
Speaker 6: They do want to make Auckland better and they do
Speaker 6: want to do things they asked, hamstrung by certain elements.
Speaker 6: But I don't have a problem with the people in there,
Speaker 6: to be honest with you. I think more there's elements
Speaker 6: and that's where Wayne and the likes are trying to
Speaker 6: make a change. And you know, I can sense positivity,
Speaker 6: and yes I deal with them on building consents and
Speaker 6: all that stuff, which can be pretty tricky, as we
Speaker 6: all know, team and escalating prices and all that sort
Speaker 6: of stuff. But I strongly believe the time is right
Speaker 6: and I strongly believe that we can make a change.
Speaker 6: And you look at your example for instance, you know
Speaker 6: transformed cities. It definitely transform cities. The big international one
Speaker 6: is not where we're playing at. Just to get clarity,
Speaker 6: it's not where we're our zone because that's a government
Speaker 6: council type of level. This is more a private, you know,
Speaker 6: public collaboration to give to the people of Auckland. And
Speaker 6: when you talk about down there at the park, I mean,
Speaker 6: look how the success of Haadly overall and christ It
Speaker 6: doesn't need to be a lot, right what we the
Speaker 6: simple things in life, the smiles.
Speaker 3: That's what we're all striving for It's not the it's
Speaker 3: not the.
Speaker 6: Massive gains or been seen to be this or that
Speaker 6: and having the shiny box.
Speaker 1: It's it's the simplicity things. What we're going well, we're
Speaker 1: all in behind you. We can't offer much from a
Speaker 1: financial logistical point.
Speaker 4: Of view.
Speaker 1: Right behind you. It's all about the vibe, man, It's
Speaker 1: all about the energy.
Speaker 5: Right when we're meeting the Port boys, we're going to
Speaker 5: meet them at Lily World beforehand, we're going to get
Speaker 5: the march on with them and get down that southern standing.
Speaker 5: I love them what they're about.
Speaker 1: I'm going to let off a flair.
Speaker 6: Yeah yeah, you didn't hear that, but won't hertit. But
Speaker 6: I do encourage excitement, and I do encourage variation, and
Speaker 6: I do encourage, encourage and encourage stuff.
Speaker 3: So that southern end is going to harm right.
Speaker 6: And you've got the Port and we've got football fans
Speaker 6: are different fans, very passionate fans, and the Port guys
Speaker 6: are driving it hugely and it's all self driven. We're
Speaker 6: just sitting there saying, you know, what can we do?
Speaker 6: What can we help? I think there's another element which
Speaker 6: is really really cool, and we're calling it this is Auckland,
Speaker 6: and this is a combination of all our ethnic diverse
Speaker 6: cultures that we get that we have in this in
Speaker 6: this town. And that is about bringing all those people together.
Speaker 6: And that's going to be a little area and that's
Speaker 6: going to be like a tailgating type of event outside
Speaker 6: of Lily Will So that will grow too, you know
Speaker 6: what I mean.
Speaker 3: You know that that whole vibe.
Speaker 6: Of getting together an hour two hours before the game
Speaker 6: and two hours after the game because kickoffs at five o'clock.
Speaker 3: You've got that time, and you've got your kids, and
Speaker 3: you know, you imagine imagine.
Speaker 6: Being a true blue Aucklander and walking through this is
Speaker 6: Auckland and seeing all the different different diversities in our
Speaker 6: town and going, man, this is a special place to live,
Speaker 6: right because they all bring something different, right, and they're
Speaker 6: all very, very passionate for so many different reasons. So
Speaker 6: this is our way of giving to the people before
Speaker 6: they give to us, if that makes sense.
Speaker 3: And I do strongly believe that, Yeah it does. I
Speaker 3: thought it.
Speaker 6: And so that's a real passion of ours, is to
Speaker 6: really bring in Doug greater Auckland, not just you know,
Speaker 6: twenty people, twenty percent of people that actually born and
Speaker 6: bred in Auckland and still back here because may We've
Speaker 6: got Wellingtonians, we've got christ Church people, we've got the
Speaker 6: needing people, all that sort of stuff. But we've got
Speaker 6: a massive cultural diversity and it's let's walk towards it,
Speaker 6: not away from.
Speaker 1: It, looking forward to it. Lane has got a couple
Speaker 1: of questions. Who wants to ask you? We do?
Speaker 5: We do twenty two questions in two minutes. It's a
Speaker 5: very quick year, Snow. We've had Carl Mills coming here
