<v Speaker 3>How's it going? Yeah, happy Halloween Boxing Day.

0:00:26.760 --> 0:00:29.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I suppose it isn't there any Halloween. There'd be

0:00:29.120 --> 0:00:31.040
<v Speaker 1>a lot of Halloween sales on right now, isn't there.

0:00:31.160 --> 0:00:34.320
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, there's Halloween always in my neighborhood, which is basically

0:00:34.320 --> 0:00:36.599
<v Speaker 4>your neighborhood. And I think the code is you're going

0:00:36.640 --> 0:00:38.000
<v Speaker 4>to put out orange balloons?

0:00:38.080 --> 0:00:38.560
<v Speaker 3>Is that right?

0:00:38.880 --> 0:00:39.200
<v Speaker 5>Ah?

0:00:39.280 --> 0:00:41.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, some kind of paraphernalia.

0:00:41.159 --> 0:00:43.880
<v Speaker 1>It did see on the local Facebook community pages, people

0:00:43.920 --> 0:00:46.800
<v Speaker 1>being like, if the house isn't decorated, don't go up

0:00:46.840 --> 0:00:49.000
<v Speaker 1>there trick or trading, which I thought was quite good. Yeah,

0:00:49.040 --> 0:00:51.280
<v Speaker 1>and no one did this year for me, which is good.

0:00:51.320 --> 0:00:52.600
<v Speaker 1>I'd lock the gate anyway, sir.

0:00:53.040 --> 0:00:53.240
<v Speaker 3>Well.

0:00:53.960 --> 0:00:55.560
<v Speaker 4>I did a bit of a gate shut as well,

0:00:55.560 --> 0:00:57.360
<v Speaker 4>because I'm a massive Grench around Halloween.

0:00:57.520 --> 0:00:58.920
<v Speaker 3>And but then I.

0:00:58.840 --> 0:01:00.920
<v Speaker 4>Looked at my house and you mistake some of the

0:01:00.960 --> 0:01:04.880
<v Speaker 4>flotsam and jetsam for decorations. You know, there's a bit

0:01:04.880 --> 0:01:07.760
<v Speaker 4>of a there's a few things that need to be

0:01:07.800 --> 0:01:10.039
<v Speaker 4>thrown out that I'm just like, could that look like

0:01:10.440 --> 0:01:14.440
<v Speaker 4>pretend you know, sort of spiders whibs and stuff, actual

0:01:14.520 --> 0:01:15.520
<v Speaker 4>actual spiders whibs.

0:01:15.520 --> 0:01:17.000
<v Speaker 3>It looks like, yeah, it does.

0:01:17.080 --> 0:01:24.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, don't go up there, they say, still lips and

0:01:24.760 --> 0:01:25.600
<v Speaker 1>don't go up there.

0:01:26.160 --> 0:01:30.679
<v Speaker 3>He's only got a Turkish delight and cherry rape nobody

0:01:30.800 --> 0:01:31.880
<v Speaker 3>likes them. Well.

0:01:31.920 --> 0:01:33.720
<v Speaker 1>He had a flat mate when I was at UNI

0:01:33.720 --> 0:01:35.920
<v Speaker 1>who would never come and do the flat shop with us,

0:01:36.440 --> 0:01:38.240
<v Speaker 1>and whenever we went and did it, we buy ourselves

0:01:38.560 --> 0:01:42.680
<v Speaker 1>a chocolate barriage. And every time we bring him back

0:01:42.720 --> 0:01:45.920
<v Speaker 1>a cherry ripe, there's like an if you for not

0:01:45.959 --> 0:01:47.920
<v Speaker 1>coming to do the flat shop with us, and he

0:01:48.040 --> 0:01:49.920
<v Speaker 1>gets saying, no, I love cherry ripes. At the end

0:01:49.920 --> 0:01:51.400
<v Speaker 1>of the year we went into his room. His top

0:01:51.480 --> 0:01:54.600
<v Speaker 1>drawings has been full of cherry ripes that we brought

0:01:54.680 --> 0:01:55.960
<v Speaker 1>him back every flat shop.

0:01:56.840 --> 0:01:59.600
<v Speaker 4>But also in the dark when he's he's pulled, it

0:01:59.600 --> 0:02:02.080
<v Speaker 4>does look like he's got a draw of condoms as well,

0:02:03.560 --> 0:02:05.400
<v Speaker 4>super safe cherry flavored.

0:02:05.520 --> 0:02:07.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, well that was the full candy US as well.

0:02:07.520 --> 0:02:10.160
<v Speaker 1>So I guess the magnums mcconey you won US Game

0:02:10.200 --> 0:02:13.600
<v Speaker 1>of Two Halves last night, did I? Yes, So if

0:02:13.600 --> 0:02:16.360
<v Speaker 1>you didn't watch it, we did the buzz the Burner game,

0:02:16.400 --> 0:02:18.519
<v Speaker 1>which they did on the original Game of Two Halves

0:02:18.880 --> 0:02:20.760
<v Speaker 1>because we have to tick someone and they have to

0:02:20.760 --> 0:02:24.120
<v Speaker 1>call in, and we did third person to call in.

0:02:24.360 --> 0:02:28.160
<v Speaker 1>Once you called in first you were too quick, yeah,

0:02:28.280 --> 0:02:32.160
<v Speaker 1>Then Petty Gower called in, then you called back and

0:02:32.280 --> 0:02:35.200
<v Speaker 1>was subsequently the third person and those are the three

0:02:35.200 --> 0:02:38.480
<v Speaker 1>points we needed to win basically, So that was you

0:02:38.639 --> 0:02:41.480
<v Speaker 1>with Ross Taylor, Yes, And who else was Brodi Kine

0:02:41.560 --> 0:02:44.519
<v Speaker 1>and she ticks Patty Gower so he you called first,

0:02:44.560 --> 0:02:45.920
<v Speaker 1>then her one came through.

0:02:46.639 --> 0:02:48.160
<v Speaker 3>Man, how much it was about that.

0:02:48.200 --> 0:02:50.679
<v Speaker 4>The question was who was what's the name of the

0:02:50.680 --> 0:02:53.600
<v Speaker 4>waitress who allegedly poisoned the nine ninety five all blocks

0:02:53.600 --> 0:02:54.440
<v Speaker 4>at Rugby World Cup?

0:02:54.520 --> 0:02:57.760
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and the answer was Susie. Answer was Susie. But

0:02:57.800 --> 0:03:00.320
<v Speaker 3>you had to be the third caller. And it's kind

0:03:00.320 --> 0:03:01.000
<v Speaker 3>of one of those things.

0:03:01.040 --> 0:03:03.080
<v Speaker 4>I definitely think it helps if you're a bit older

0:03:03.080 --> 0:03:06.560
<v Speaker 4>for that one, you know, Yeah, but it's still is

0:03:07.320 --> 0:03:11.200
<v Speaker 4>you know, nine only five, Susie was talked about a lot. Yeah,

0:03:11.480 --> 0:03:14.440
<v Speaker 4>he was everywhere. Did anyone even know who Susie was?

0:03:14.760 --> 0:03:14.959
<v Speaker 1>No?

0:03:15.200 --> 0:03:18.440
<v Speaker 4>I mean i've because I worked with Josh Cronfell. It's

0:03:18.480 --> 0:03:20.560
<v Speaker 4>just the name drop, but it's it's a fair enough

0:03:20.639 --> 0:03:23.520
<v Speaker 4>one because he does work for Crowdgoes Wild. He has

0:03:23.600 --> 0:03:26.880
<v Speaker 4>said that he thought it was the chicken Burgers, and

0:03:27.840 --> 0:03:32.680
<v Speaker 4>also there was there was I think it was chicken burgers.

0:03:32.720 --> 0:03:35.040
<v Speaker 4>And because there's a group of them that all went

0:03:35.080 --> 0:03:37.440
<v Speaker 4>and just did their own thing and went down to McDonald's.

0:03:37.440 --> 0:03:41.000
<v Speaker 4>I think it was Frank Buntz, John Olomou, Eric Rushes,

0:03:41.000 --> 0:03:42.480
<v Speaker 4>a whole group of them. It just didn't and they

0:03:42.480 --> 0:03:45.280
<v Speaker 4>didn't get sick, but it was partaking in the old

0:03:45.400 --> 0:03:48.960
<v Speaker 4>chicken burgers. It looked a bit green. Yeah, right, so

0:03:49.480 --> 0:03:53.880
<v Speaker 4>undercooked chicken. I've been poisoned in South Africa by under undercooked.

0:03:53.520 --> 0:03:54.119
<v Speaker 3>Chicken as well.

0:03:54.200 --> 0:03:58.680
<v Speaker 4>SUSI got you, Susie got me in twenty ten, jays, how.

0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:00.320
<v Speaker 3>You know what?

0:04:01.280 --> 0:04:04.200
<v Speaker 4>I was at the breakfast buffet and I could see

0:04:04.200 --> 0:04:08.040
<v Speaker 4>that they were handling a raw chicken as well as toasts.

0:04:08.280 --> 0:04:11.200
<v Speaker 4>You know, it's just a bad combo when you know

0:04:11.480 --> 0:04:12.760
<v Speaker 4>they're doing those two things.

0:04:12.800 --> 0:04:15.320
<v Speaker 3>They're multitasking. Why why did they have chicken and toast?

0:04:16.760 --> 0:04:18.520
<v Speaker 4>Well, on the one hand they're washing a check and

0:04:18.560 --> 0:04:20.200
<v Speaker 4>on the other hand they're putting the toast in the

0:04:20.400 --> 0:04:23.040
<v Speaker 4>I don't know, it just stuffed. There's a lot going on,

0:04:23.600 --> 0:04:26.960
<v Speaker 4>and I felt like that's where I pinpointed it too.

0:04:27.839 --> 0:04:29.480
<v Speaker 4>I mean, I could have easily got swine flu.

0:04:29.560 --> 0:04:32.120
<v Speaker 3>You look at me. I feel like, you know, a

0:04:32.200 --> 0:04:34.360
<v Speaker 3>war dog could have just brushed against her or something

0:04:34.400 --> 0:04:34.800
<v Speaker 3>like that.

0:04:35.200 --> 0:04:39.400
<v Speaker 1>I've had the old salmonella diet before. It was the

0:04:39.600 --> 0:04:42.719
<v Speaker 1>butter chicken at the food court at the Meridian Center

0:04:42.760 --> 0:04:43.360
<v Speaker 1>in Dunedin.

0:04:44.560 --> 0:04:46.279
<v Speaker 3>Yeah you, oh straight away.

0:04:46.520 --> 0:04:48.920
<v Speaker 1>The sheets hurt when I was lying in bed the

0:04:48.960 --> 0:04:50.240
<v Speaker 1>whole week and my sheets hurt.

0:04:50.440 --> 0:04:52.599
<v Speaker 3>They had to take them off as how. Croco was

0:04:53.240 --> 0:04:54.640
<v Speaker 3>so yes, congratulations on that.

0:04:54.760 --> 0:04:56.800
<v Speaker 4>By the way, Bradie Kane on Game of Two halves

0:04:56.839 --> 0:04:59.800
<v Speaker 4>every time she is a freaking encyclopedia, isn't she.

0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:04.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yes, and it's a strange set of knowledge as well.

0:05:04.240 --> 0:05:05.880
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, like it's motorsport fact.

0:05:06.760 --> 0:05:11.880
<v Speaker 1>And then yeah, she beat Lisa Carrington like a some

0:05:11.920 --> 0:05:13.839
<v Speaker 1>sort of surf life saving event, which.

0:05:13.800 --> 0:05:14.920
<v Speaker 3>Was Yeah, she was good.

0:05:14.960 --> 0:05:17.479
<v Speaker 4>I raced her actually once in a we wanted to swim.

0:05:17.560 --> 0:05:20.919
<v Speaker 4>It was a Christmas party for Radio Live now defunct

0:05:21.080 --> 0:05:23.360
<v Speaker 4>Radio Live, and I said to Bradie Kane, go on,

0:05:23.400 --> 0:05:25.119
<v Speaker 4>then I'll race you over to that boat.

0:05:25.160 --> 0:05:25.960
<v Speaker 3>So we had to run.

0:05:25.800 --> 0:05:29.640
<v Speaker 4>Across Cox's Bay Reserve, hop into the water, swim out

0:05:29.680 --> 0:05:30.080
<v Speaker 4>to the boat.

0:05:30.400 --> 0:05:33.000
<v Speaker 3>Anyway. He's just about walk out there at Cox Yeah

0:05:33.000 --> 0:05:33.320
<v Speaker 3>he could.

0:05:33.360 --> 0:05:36.200
<v Speaker 4>It was pathetic, but there was a big warning about

0:05:36.240 --> 0:05:37.840
<v Speaker 4>you know, poos in the water or something like that,

0:05:37.920 --> 0:05:40.200
<v Speaker 4>so we couldn't need to swim. We both back down

0:05:40.200 --> 0:05:41.800
<v Speaker 4>from that, so it was a straight running race. I

0:05:41.839 --> 0:05:44.480
<v Speaker 4>beat her, Yeah, nice, I beat Brady Kane.

0:05:44.920 --> 0:05:48.520
<v Speaker 1>And so by extension, you're faster than Lisa caring Kne exactly.

0:05:48.560 --> 0:05:50.280
<v Speaker 3>That's right. The goat in the boat at.

0:05:50.200 --> 0:05:54.200
<v Speaker 1>Least across land, Yeah, exactly. McCartney's got a number. The

0:05:54.200 --> 0:05:56.920
<v Speaker 1>All Backs team was named yesterday. Mccaroniy, I've taken the

0:05:56.960 --> 0:05:58.599
<v Speaker 1>liberty of printing you out a copy at the back

0:05:58.600 --> 0:06:02.680
<v Speaker 1>of you we run down there. But the biggest point

0:06:03.320 --> 0:06:06.719
<v Speaker 1>would be one Boden Barrett has taken the number ten

0:06:06.800 --> 0:06:08.360
<v Speaker 1>Jersey off Damian McKenzie.

0:06:08.520 --> 0:06:10.760
<v Speaker 4>Yes, I think that's that's the way it was trending

0:06:10.880 --> 0:06:13.880
<v Speaker 4>wasn't it When you get cent ahead, you know on

0:06:13.960 --> 0:06:15.920
<v Speaker 4>the advanced flight, it's like.

0:06:15.880 --> 0:06:18.080
<v Speaker 3>Who's going to play against than you are?

0:06:18.360 --> 0:06:20.880
<v Speaker 4>And so, which is pretty cool for someone like tupo

0:06:21.000 --> 0:06:23.039
<v Speaker 4>Au as well, because it's like, hey, you're on that

0:06:23.080 --> 0:06:24.560
<v Speaker 4>flight too, mate, don't you worry?

0:06:24.640 --> 0:06:26.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you're one of the first teams.

0:06:26.040 --> 0:06:30.320
<v Speaker 4>So I think it's it's great that's kept his spot

0:06:30.400 --> 0:06:33.279
<v Speaker 4>ahead of Patrick Tupul or two. You know, that's that's

0:06:33.279 --> 0:06:35.520
<v Speaker 4>a big deal for a young type five forward.

0:06:35.560 --> 0:06:37.279
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. It a pump his tires up a bit. Yeah.

0:06:37.320 --> 0:06:39.200
<v Speaker 1>Well they take a bit of the pressure off, you like,

0:06:39.200 --> 0:06:40.680
<v Speaker 1>because you'd feel like you're going to get cut at

0:06:40.680 --> 0:06:41.200
<v Speaker 1>any moment.

0:06:41.320 --> 0:06:43.520
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, so it would be a good little gum.

0:06:43.360 --> 0:06:45.800
<v Speaker 4>Mate, go mate, you're actually that you know he's been

0:06:45.800 --> 0:06:46.400
<v Speaker 4>bloody good.

0:06:46.640 --> 0:06:49.720
<v Speaker 3>But yes, I agree. Boden is a big talking point.

0:06:49.760 --> 0:06:51.560
<v Speaker 3>I think cam roy guard off the bench.

0:06:52.560 --> 0:06:54.880
<v Speaker 4>It feels like this could be his tour, you know,

0:06:55.120 --> 0:06:59.120
<v Speaker 4>it's the comeback tour. He was cutting capers in Japan

0:06:59.160 --> 0:07:02.400
<v Speaker 4>without putting a sort of a full stop on it.

0:07:02.520 --> 0:07:04.320
<v Speaker 4>There was one where he just went by himself and

0:07:05.600 --> 0:07:07.720
<v Speaker 4>it was a massive hungus move, you know when the

0:07:08.040 --> 0:07:11.040
<v Speaker 4>big overlap. Yeah, I think he was two meters out

0:07:11.160 --> 0:07:13.520
<v Speaker 4>from the try line and he was going you know,

0:07:13.600 --> 0:07:15.520
<v Speaker 4>it was like that what's that video game where the

0:07:15.520 --> 0:07:19.200
<v Speaker 4>go goes le Roy Johnson and he just runs off

0:07:19.240 --> 0:07:19.720
<v Speaker 4>by himself.

0:07:19.760 --> 0:07:19.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:07:19.960 --> 0:07:21.840
<v Speaker 1>I think that was one of the call of duty's

0:07:21.920 --> 0:07:25.920
<v Speaker 1>or something. Yeah, yeah, Leroy Jenkins, Leroy Jenkins.

0:07:26.080 --> 0:07:28.880
<v Speaker 4>So he went full Leroy Jenkins by himself when he

0:07:28.920 --> 0:07:31.280
<v Speaker 4>had about four people outside him. And I'm sure the

0:07:31.360 --> 0:07:34.320
<v Speaker 4>video session it must have had a group session where

0:07:34.320 --> 0:07:34.880
<v Speaker 4>they went.

0:07:35.120 --> 0:07:40.280
<v Speaker 1>Fucking hungers, he fucking hummer, the ballast the ball I

0:07:40.320 --> 0:07:41.680
<v Speaker 1>think if he hadn't been out for a year, he

0:07:41.720 --> 0:07:44.320
<v Speaker 1>probably would have, you know, but he hasn't played foot

0:07:44.400 --> 0:07:48.200
<v Speaker 1>in so long. Is this a I mean, this is

0:07:48.200 --> 0:07:50.520
<v Speaker 1>obviously a massive vote of confidence in Boden Barrett as

0:07:50.560 --> 0:07:52.880
<v Speaker 1>the number one, number ten because this this is a

0:07:53.640 --> 0:07:55.280
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I don't know if it's must win, but

0:07:55.320 --> 0:07:56.280
<v Speaker 1>this is the biggest test that.

0:07:56.280 --> 0:07:57.280
<v Speaker 3>We've had in quite a while.

0:07:57.400 --> 0:08:00.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and so obviously these are this is the best

0:08:00.200 --> 0:08:01.680
<v Speaker 1>possible team we could put on the field.

0:08:02.200 --> 0:08:05.120
<v Speaker 3>What does that mean for d mach going forward? My

0:08:05.200 --> 0:08:09.400
<v Speaker 3>reading too far into it. I feel that d mac as.

0:08:11.000 --> 0:08:13.240
<v Speaker 4>I feel like Mak is a team guy anyway, so

0:08:13.280 --> 0:08:16.840
<v Speaker 4>he'll take the bench with good attitude.

0:08:17.120 --> 0:08:17.800
<v Speaker 3>He knows.

0:08:18.520 --> 0:08:22.000
<v Speaker 4>I think he realizes that he is so important to

0:08:22.120 --> 0:08:25.960
<v Speaker 4>that team because just as Spark, he provides as as

0:08:26.160 --> 0:08:29.640
<v Speaker 4>elite you know like that. England have got one guy

0:08:29.720 --> 0:08:32.280
<v Speaker 4>like that, Marcus Smith, right, and so we've got we've

0:08:32.320 --> 0:08:36.400
<v Speaker 4>got two guys like that, and you'd probably put Roy

0:08:36.480 --> 0:08:39.040
<v Speaker 4>Guard in that category as well, just in terms of

0:08:39.080 --> 0:08:43.080
<v Speaker 4>you know, Spark plug off the bench. So I reckon

0:08:43.080 --> 0:08:45.960
<v Speaker 4>England will be shitting their pants about DMC coming coming

0:08:46.000 --> 0:08:47.800
<v Speaker 4>on and cutting capers. They'll have to have a plan

0:08:47.880 --> 0:08:51.360
<v Speaker 4>for for that, because everything changes when he's injecting himself

0:08:51.360 --> 0:08:54.600
<v Speaker 4>into the game. Boden though, my my theory, my feeling

0:08:54.640 --> 0:08:58.960
<v Speaker 4>about Boden, I've got very strong feelings and about and

0:08:59.080 --> 0:09:02.360
<v Speaker 4>about four and about he. I reckon he was never

0:09:02.360 --> 0:09:05.600
<v Speaker 4>given enough of a run in the number ten Jersey

0:09:05.960 --> 0:09:09.240
<v Speaker 4>and even though he had these sort of speed wobbles

0:09:09.240 --> 0:09:10.800
<v Speaker 4>where he didn't play well enough and it was clear

0:09:10.880 --> 0:09:14.000
<v Speaker 4>Richie Wonger was kind of starting to eclipse, and I

0:09:14.000 --> 0:09:16.240
<v Speaker 4>felt like Boden was never given the chance to kind

0:09:16.240 --> 0:09:18.920
<v Speaker 4>of iron those out, like you have a shaky lion

0:09:19.080 --> 0:09:21.760
<v Speaker 4>series like he did well, then surely the next year

0:09:21.800 --> 0:09:24.240
<v Speaker 4>he's gonna go, Okay, I've learned, I've learned from that,

0:09:24.320 --> 0:09:26.719
<v Speaker 4>let's go, let's go oh and own it all the

0:09:26.720 --> 0:09:28.719
<v Speaker 4>way through to the twenty nineteen World Cup. And he's

0:09:28.760 --> 0:09:31.120
<v Speaker 4>never really given that chance. And do you think McKenzie's

0:09:31.120 --> 0:09:32.319
<v Speaker 4>gone through that now a little bit?

0:09:32.400 --> 0:09:32.600
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

0:09:32.640 --> 0:09:36.440
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, he needs to actually have all those you know,

0:09:36.520 --> 0:09:38.920
<v Speaker 4>those games where you just go fuck. Should have just

0:09:39.360 --> 0:09:42.720
<v Speaker 4>not thrown the reverse flip pass, yeah, to a giant

0:09:42.760 --> 0:09:45.040
<v Speaker 4>prop who needed it right in the bread basket, all

0:09:45.080 --> 0:09:45.600
<v Speaker 4>that stuff.

0:09:45.640 --> 0:09:48.600
<v Speaker 1>A The other one that I thought was interesting is

0:09:48.840 --> 0:09:53.280
<v Speaker 1>the group got dropped and they asked Razor about it,

0:09:53.320 --> 0:09:56.360
<v Speaker 1>and he said that he didn't meet internal standards, and

0:09:56.400 --> 0:09:58.440
<v Speaker 1>then when he was pressed on it, he just kept repeating,

0:09:58.520 --> 0:09:59.920
<v Speaker 1>we've got our own internal standards.

0:10:00.360 --> 0:10:03.560
<v Speaker 3>He didn't meet them there anything, What did the group do?

0:10:03.600 --> 0:10:04.800
<v Speaker 3>What could he have done?

0:10:05.080 --> 0:10:07.560
<v Speaker 4>I mean, I am Grout, one of the great tourists,

0:10:07.600 --> 0:10:10.400
<v Speaker 4>and here's the one who said in Washington, with all

0:10:10.400 --> 0:10:13.840
<v Speaker 4>the monuments, including the Washington Monument, it's not the it's no,

0:10:14.080 --> 0:10:17.560
<v Speaker 4>it's no Brown Trout from Gore, you know, which is

0:10:17.640 --> 0:10:22.199
<v Speaker 4>just an perfect tourist. I don't know what happened there,

0:10:22.200 --> 0:10:24.920
<v Speaker 4>but every now I'm in razor. He's quite he's quite

0:10:24.960 --> 0:10:27.520
<v Speaker 4>good with the media in the in the sense that

0:10:27.600 --> 0:10:30.080
<v Speaker 4>he'll he'll say stuff, you'll bat things away, and then

0:10:30.120 --> 0:10:31.760
<v Speaker 4>all of a sudden he will just go, oh, I know,

0:10:31.840 --> 0:10:33.640
<v Speaker 4>we send him away to do this, this and this,

0:10:33.720 --> 0:10:35.600
<v Speaker 4>Like he said, Oh, I'm a penny fe now I

0:10:35.640 --> 0:10:38.000
<v Speaker 4>need to go away and put on weight. I'm like,

0:10:38.080 --> 0:10:41.360
<v Speaker 4>come to my place mate, I'll show you.

0:10:41.400 --> 0:10:46.559
<v Speaker 3>Come down the on Saturday night. Yeah, the pork belly

0:10:46.559 --> 0:10:50.200
<v Speaker 3>at the raza, hold the broccoli for you. We'll get

0:10:50.240 --> 0:10:53.640
<v Speaker 3>your chip. But the thing is all that sort of stuff.

0:10:53.679 --> 0:10:55.760
<v Speaker 4>Then I'm not sure that you're making it sound like

0:10:55.840 --> 0:10:57.520
<v Speaker 4>maybe there was a disciplinary thing.

0:10:58.080 --> 0:11:01.520
<v Speaker 1>That's what I immediately go to when hear that. Yeah,

0:11:01.679 --> 0:11:03.640
<v Speaker 1>unless maybe it was a fitness thing. But then why

0:11:03.679 --> 0:11:05.560
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't you just say it was a fitness thing, you know?

0:11:05.880 --> 0:11:10.520
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, because I've been to all Blacks trainings, especially the

0:11:10.600 --> 0:11:13.720
<v Speaker 4>start of tours, start of seasons, where all the naughty

0:11:13.800 --> 0:11:17.280
<v Speaker 4>kids in terms of fitness out and it's always fucking

0:11:17.440 --> 0:11:21.320
<v Speaker 4>wingers and props, you know, like the whole time, like

0:11:21.360 --> 0:11:25.240
<v Speaker 4>they just they won't do their homework, you know, and

0:11:25.280 --> 0:11:29.040
<v Speaker 4>it'll be like just some bloody Charlie FuMO and Julian

0:11:29.120 --> 0:11:32.000
<v Speaker 4>Savia just doing broncos or some.

0:11:31.960 --> 0:11:35.240
<v Speaker 3>Sort of shit running exactly. Yeah, I could have been there.

0:11:35.280 --> 0:11:36.920
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, but I just think if you if,

0:11:37.240 --> 0:11:39.600
<v Speaker 1>if that's what it was, why not say oh, it's just.

0:11:39.600 --> 0:11:40.480
<v Speaker 3>A fitness issue.

0:11:40.559 --> 0:11:43.800
<v Speaker 1>And then that sort of quells it because my conspiratorial

0:11:43.840 --> 0:11:46.320
<v Speaker 1>mind's like that he hit the past, did he less

0:11:46.400 --> 0:11:48.640
<v Speaker 1>his fly? What did he what did he get up to?

0:11:48.880 --> 0:11:50.840
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't be surprised if we found something out. How

0:11:50.880 --> 0:11:52.640
<v Speaker 1>do you think we're going to go against England this weekend?

0:11:53.280 --> 0:11:57.160
<v Speaker 4>I think I think we beat England. I think Ireland

0:11:57.200 --> 0:12:00.600
<v Speaker 4>and France are the slippery ones. But the thing is

0:12:00.640 --> 0:12:04.760
<v Speaker 4>England have kept improving. But the issue for them is,

0:12:05.240 --> 0:12:07.560
<v Speaker 4>well we've had a whole season to work out stuff out.

0:12:07.600 --> 0:12:09.960
<v Speaker 4>They haven't seen Wallace the TT yet and he's going

0:12:10.040 --> 0:12:11.880
<v Speaker 4>to be unleashed, or they might he might have come

0:12:11.920 --> 0:12:14.640
<v Speaker 4>on off the bench, but anyway, he's a revelation.

0:12:14.880 --> 0:12:17.840
<v Speaker 3>So Caleb Clark as well.

0:12:17.640 --> 0:12:20.839
<v Speaker 4>After just having this awesome season, we've got this strike

0:12:20.920 --> 0:12:22.760
<v Speaker 4>winger who I don't think they'll be able to cope with.

0:12:23.120 --> 0:12:27.280
<v Speaker 4>And again that bench I was looking at Almore Roy

0:12:27.320 --> 0:12:31.360
<v Speaker 4>guard and d Mac in particular and Tossi Pascilli or Tossi. Yeah,

0:12:31.400 --> 0:12:34.320
<v Speaker 4>coming off the bench, I was like, Tossy looks like

0:12:34.440 --> 0:12:37.240
<v Speaker 4>he has done his fitness right, Yeah, he's looking slum.

0:12:37.360 --> 0:12:38.760
<v Speaker 3>He does. He does.

0:12:39.080 --> 0:12:40.839
<v Speaker 1>It's actually almost shocking when you see him out on

0:12:40.840 --> 0:12:43.679
<v Speaker 1>the Fieldy I didn't. Yeah, okay, because you remember him

0:12:43.760 --> 0:12:45.679
<v Speaker 1>or you a picture him. It's the biggest man you've

0:12:45.720 --> 0:12:46.480
<v Speaker 1>ever seen in your life.

0:12:46.559 --> 0:12:49.280
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's got a bit of shape about him. Yeah, Godzilla,

0:12:49.320 --> 0:12:50.880
<v Speaker 3>you've fucking trimmed down, haven't you, mate?

0:12:50.920 --> 0:12:54.160
<v Speaker 1>And no respite either as to Mighty Williams comes off

0:12:54.160 --> 0:12:57.079
<v Speaker 1>in the fiftieth sixtieth minute usually as a prop you're

0:12:57.120 --> 0:13:00.240
<v Speaker 1>breathing of siyah relief, not we'll got another one.

0:13:00.160 --> 0:13:00.800
<v Speaker 3>Comes to see.

0:13:00.960 --> 0:13:05.000
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it's like Jurassic Park where that one of the

0:13:05.000 --> 0:13:07.680
<v Speaker 4>great scenes with the water and on the dashboard of

0:13:07.679 --> 0:13:10.440
<v Speaker 4>the car starts to make little ripples and you go,

0:13:10.559 --> 0:13:15.920
<v Speaker 4>oh fuck, t Rex is here. So when England lose,

0:13:17.000 --> 0:13:18.280
<v Speaker 4>we went sacked in England.

0:13:18.480 --> 0:13:20.280
<v Speaker 3>We're doing the hacker. You can't stop us.

0:13:20.400 --> 0:13:22.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, oh yeah, what do you think of old Joe

0:13:22.080 --> 0:13:23.960
<v Speaker 1>mart I know he's come out and said, oh.

0:13:23.800 --> 0:13:25.439
<v Speaker 3>He was just a tongue in cheeks, so they having

0:13:25.440 --> 0:13:28.800
<v Speaker 3>a correct Yeah, no, I mean it's weird. I think Look,

0:13:30.480 --> 0:13:33.200
<v Speaker 3>I feel like it's called war.

0:13:33.320 --> 0:13:37.679
<v Speaker 4>Dancers are therefore all in Sundry and in fact Australia

0:13:37.679 --> 0:13:40.520
<v Speaker 4>and South Africa shoulde hundred percent be doing one. Yes,

0:13:40.880 --> 0:13:43.600
<v Speaker 4>I've fucking missed the boat big time because we know

0:13:43.679 --> 0:13:46.640
<v Speaker 4>I've seen, I've been to those countries. They've got some

0:13:46.720 --> 0:13:49.400
<v Speaker 4>awesome shit going on in that over it and that

0:13:49.520 --> 0:13:53.400
<v Speaker 4>kind of genre. So fucking do one. Whereas England can

0:13:53.480 --> 0:13:57.440
<v Speaker 4>do one, can do one, whereas England are like pissing around.

0:13:57.480 --> 0:13:59.000
<v Speaker 3>I mean everyone the jokes. Are they going to do

0:13:59.040 --> 0:13:59.720
<v Speaker 3>a Morris dance?

0:13:59.800 --> 0:14:04.480
<v Speaker 4>Well there's other ship if you want, if you want

0:14:04.480 --> 0:14:06.280
<v Speaker 4>to do one, but I know we don't because we're

0:14:06.280 --> 0:14:09.120
<v Speaker 4>here to play rugby stiff shit man. We do the hucker, yes,

0:14:09.280 --> 0:14:12.680
<v Speaker 4>and get the may pole out or shut up, bring

0:14:12.679 --> 0:14:15.160
<v Speaker 4>that pole if it's a strip of pole, fine whatever,

0:14:15.320 --> 0:14:17.400
<v Speaker 4>just use any pole you can express yourself.

0:14:18.040 --> 0:14:20.400
<v Speaker 1>We'd love to see this goal post there. Yeah, no

0:14:20.400 --> 0:14:22.640
<v Speaker 1>one's stopping you from using those. Yeah, run a couple

0:14:22.720 --> 0:14:24.080
<v Speaker 1>of bloody strings.

0:14:24.160 --> 0:14:26.360
<v Speaker 3>Ribbons yeah, ribbons, yes, ribbons.

0:14:26.840 --> 0:14:28.720
<v Speaker 1>Morris darts would be that, it would actually be the

0:14:28.760 --> 0:14:30.200
<v Speaker 1>perfect counter to the hucker.

0:14:30.360 --> 0:14:32.920
<v Speaker 3>It would just the most bizarre.

0:14:33.640 --> 0:14:35.680
<v Speaker 4>Or a Monty Python dance where they slap the fish

0:14:35.800 --> 0:14:38.040
<v Speaker 4>on the If you slap someone with a fish, I

0:14:38.040 --> 0:14:38.920
<v Speaker 4>think it will be all on.

0:14:39.120 --> 0:14:42.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I think, yeah, toy much clip clopping with the coconuts.

0:14:42.760 --> 0:14:46.080
<v Speaker 3>I don't know. Yeah, okay, just quickly before we're going

0:14:46.120 --> 0:14:47.280
<v Speaker 3>to take a quick break.

0:14:47.480 --> 0:14:49.200
<v Speaker 1>But before we do, g Lane has got a hold

0:14:49.200 --> 0:14:51.720
<v Speaker 1>of the tearb account and he's put today's a sec

0:14:51.920 --> 0:14:56.000
<v Speaker 1>agenda hunch on. He's gone for the Brazilian Grand Prix

0:14:56.240 --> 0:14:59.000
<v Speaker 1>and he's gone Liam Lawson for a points finish nice

0:14:59.240 --> 0:15:01.400
<v Speaker 1>at three dollars, which I thought, it's pretty good, Like

0:15:01.440 --> 0:15:04.520
<v Speaker 1>it's quite short. He's looking good, yes, and he's passing

0:15:04.560 --> 0:15:06.760
<v Speaker 1>everyone off. He's given the flipping the bird. I didn't

0:15:06.760 --> 0:15:08.800
<v Speaker 1>realize it was his teammate that he flipped the bird too.

0:15:09.480 --> 0:15:12.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah he or is it a it's not his teammate.

0:15:12.040 --> 0:15:14.560
<v Speaker 1>There's like two red Bull teams. Sorry, so it's the

0:15:14.640 --> 0:15:17.080
<v Speaker 1>other red Bull team, right, but I mean I guess

0:15:17.120 --> 0:15:18.360
<v Speaker 1>that's no.

0:15:17.960 --> 0:15:20.040
<v Speaker 4>No, yeah, you're quite right, that's right, the other red

0:15:20.080 --> 0:15:21.680
<v Speaker 4>Bull team. But yeah, it is kind of I guess

0:15:21.680 --> 0:15:25.280
<v Speaker 4>they related don't they. Yeah, well yeah, it's like I mean,

0:15:25.560 --> 0:15:29.680
<v Speaker 4>it's yeah, you're definitely going to see them quite close

0:15:29.720 --> 0:15:31.240
<v Speaker 4>in the pits, aren't you. You're not going to be

0:15:31.320 --> 0:15:32.320
<v Speaker 4>totally separated.

0:15:32.480 --> 0:15:34.760
<v Speaker 1>It's like me flipping off Jason Hoyt while he's doing

0:15:34.760 --> 0:15:35.280
<v Speaker 1>his drive show.

0:15:35.320 --> 0:15:37.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, exactly what you do frequently, which I do every

0:15:37.680 --> 0:15:38.640
<v Speaker 3>day I'm out of building.

0:15:39.360 --> 0:15:40.880
<v Speaker 1>You know, we're going to come across each other and

0:15:40.920 --> 0:15:43.160
<v Speaker 1>put lane at some point, and it's on Jason hord.

0:15:43.160 --> 0:15:45.200
<v Speaker 1>I hope you listen to this. All right, quick break,

0:15:45.200 --> 0:15:46.760
<v Speaker 1>we'll come back and talk a little bit of n RL.

0:15:49.200 --> 0:15:51.120
<v Speaker 1>All right, we're back from the first of our paid

0:15:51.200 --> 0:15:53.320
<v Speaker 1>o breaks. Have you said that story about the company

0:15:53.360 --> 0:15:54.480
<v Speaker 1>offering O breaks?

0:15:54.920 --> 0:15:58.080
<v Speaker 3>Oh? Yes, six for a company offering it's quite good.

0:15:58.120 --> 0:15:59.880
<v Speaker 3>And Organs back. So McCay and I have just had

0:15:59.880 --> 0:16:03.440
<v Speaker 3>an break separate, but maybe the next one. We joined

0:16:04.280 --> 0:16:04.920
<v Speaker 3>the NRL.

0:16:05.320 --> 0:16:07.920
<v Speaker 1>So it's first of November, as I said, pension punch,

0:16:08.360 --> 0:16:11.160
<v Speaker 1>and it kind of almost feels like they're starting to

0:16:11.200 --> 0:16:14.080
<v Speaker 1>get a bit of an off season free agency thing

0:16:14.240 --> 0:16:17.480
<v Speaker 1>going in the NRL. So what's happened is basically, if

0:16:18.320 --> 0:16:21.720
<v Speaker 1>your contract, the contracts are up until October thirty, first,

0:16:21.760 --> 0:16:23.520
<v Speaker 1>so there's a lot of players who are off contract.

0:16:23.760 --> 0:16:26.560
<v Speaker 1>There's also the first day that you're allowed to talk

0:16:26.600 --> 0:16:30.320
<v Speaker 1>to other clubs officially if you are on contract. But

0:16:30.360 --> 0:16:33.720
<v Speaker 1>I know there's a lot of like back room shit

0:16:33.760 --> 0:16:36.600
<v Speaker 1>that goes on. So that's why you're seeing a lot

0:16:36.640 --> 0:16:39.960
<v Speaker 1>of headlines around player movement in the NRL. I feel

0:16:40.000 --> 0:16:43.640
<v Speaker 1>like I've always complained about the way players move in

0:16:43.680 --> 0:16:46.960
<v Speaker 1>the NRL, Like there'll be a player who's like, oh, yeah,

0:16:46.600 --> 0:16:49.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm leaving after the season, like we just had with

0:16:50.280 --> 0:16:52.520
<v Speaker 1>ad Infanua Blake, Yeah, and I for the whole season,

0:16:52.600 --> 0:16:54.000
<v Speaker 1>You've got to sit there and be like, yeah, but

0:16:54.040 --> 0:16:55.720
<v Speaker 1>he's fucking off at the end of the year. You know,

0:16:56.040 --> 0:16:59.000
<v Speaker 1>they need some sort of trade window free agency situation.

0:16:59.600 --> 0:17:00.440
<v Speaker 3>That always been the.

0:17:00.440 --> 0:17:02.760
<v Speaker 4>Weirdest thing in the NRL, as a guy announcing that

0:17:02.760 --> 0:17:06.040
<v Speaker 4>he's leaving and then it's just six or maybe four

0:17:06.080 --> 0:17:09.960
<v Speaker 4>months of just weirdness, awkwardness and then hoping that they

0:17:11.480 --> 0:17:13.439
<v Speaker 4>that there might be a playoff run. But probably in

0:17:13.520 --> 0:17:16.159
<v Speaker 4>their heart of hearts, they like thinking, actually, like a

0:17:16.240 --> 0:17:17.920
<v Speaker 4>proper off season before I have to go and run

0:17:17.920 --> 0:17:19.800
<v Speaker 4>on other sand dunes somewhere around.

0:17:19.560 --> 0:17:23.280
<v Speaker 3>The good point, you know, like how do they get proper?

0:17:23.560 --> 0:17:25.040
<v Speaker 3>Do they? I mean delivering a.

0:17:27.520 --> 0:17:31.199
<v Speaker 4>Title to your old team. I guess that will be

0:17:31.240 --> 0:17:35.560
<v Speaker 4>still cool. But your mind's elsewhere. You're looking on real estate,

0:17:35.600 --> 0:17:38.800
<v Speaker 4>dot com, dot au for your new digs.

0:17:38.840 --> 0:17:40.680
<v Speaker 1>Everything is trying to find a home for your dogs.

0:17:40.720 --> 0:17:42.400
<v Speaker 1>Ye take it back to Australia with you.

0:17:42.600 --> 0:17:44.560
<v Speaker 3>All of that. It's expensive a to take a dog

0:17:44.640 --> 0:17:45.240
<v Speaker 3>over there.

0:17:46.200 --> 0:17:47.600
<v Speaker 1>Or they think you can afford it. A few other

0:17:47.720 --> 0:17:49.680
<v Speaker 1>number one paid proper in the league anyway.

0:17:50.160 --> 0:17:54.480
<v Speaker 4>Yes, but anyway, that's that's by the bye. The fact

0:17:54.520 --> 0:17:58.200
<v Speaker 4>that when James Fisher Harris was signed, I just remember thinking,

0:17:58.960 --> 0:18:01.239
<v Speaker 4>all ship, that's it's actually good. I didn't think we

0:18:01.240 --> 0:18:03.760
<v Speaker 4>were going to get anyone in as good as Adam

0:18:03.800 --> 0:18:05.280
<v Speaker 4>Fanua Blake. But we've done that.

0:18:05.359 --> 0:18:06.879
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, we have done that. That's exactly it.

0:18:07.400 --> 0:18:09.560
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, so it's it's all very confusing, but a

0:18:09.560 --> 0:18:13.000
<v Speaker 1>lot of players changing teams. Obviously, yesterday, just after we

0:18:13.040 --> 0:18:17.280
<v Speaker 1>finished recording, the Warriors signed Tanner Boyd And there were

0:18:17.280 --> 0:18:19.560
<v Speaker 1>two reactions that I've seen to this from Gold Coast

0:18:19.600 --> 0:18:21.760
<v Speaker 1>Titans the Gold Coast SARTs. The first reaction was who

0:18:22.840 --> 0:18:26.199
<v Speaker 1>and the second reaction was do we need that? So

0:18:26.320 --> 0:18:30.600
<v Speaker 1>Tanner Boyd. If you don't know who he is, he

0:18:30.640 --> 0:18:33.160
<v Speaker 1>plays for the Titans. He's a half that can cover

0:18:33.240 --> 0:18:38.160
<v Speaker 1>hooker as well ki Assie. He's an Aussie as far

0:18:38.160 --> 0:18:40.639
<v Speaker 1>as I know, But I also thought Phoenix Crossland was

0:18:40.680 --> 0:18:43.240
<v Speaker 1>an Aussie in terns out. Yeah, he's a proper k

0:18:43.680 --> 0:18:46.800
<v Speaker 1>well into yeah yeah, so as far as I know,

0:18:46.880 --> 0:18:50.800
<v Speaker 1>he's Australian. But I guess the confusing part is we

0:18:50.880 --> 0:18:54.600
<v Speaker 1>also signed Aaron Clark from the Titans, who's a hooker

0:18:55.080 --> 0:19:04.399
<v Speaker 1>slip right Locke. We've basically pillaged there. The bench is

0:19:04.440 --> 0:19:09.919
<v Speaker 1>now our bitch, so that hooker slash lose forward is it? There?

0:19:09.680 --> 0:19:13.560
<v Speaker 4>Is that a panic by after Ja Stavangert left or

0:19:13.600 --> 0:19:14.199
<v Speaker 4>something like that.

0:19:14.600 --> 0:19:16.199
<v Speaker 3>It kind of seemed like that. It is a bit

0:19:16.200 --> 0:19:18.560
<v Speaker 3>of a much for a muchness sort of thing.

0:19:18.600 --> 0:19:21.760
<v Speaker 1>But I really don't know where Tanner Boyd fits into

0:19:21.800 --> 0:19:24.040
<v Speaker 1>the to the Warriors thing. He's not going to be

0:19:24.240 --> 0:19:26.879
<v Speaker 1>one of our starting halves. He won't be our starting hooker.

0:19:27.440 --> 0:19:29.720
<v Speaker 1>I guess it's injury cover for if Wade Eggan gets

0:19:29.760 --> 0:19:33.120
<v Speaker 1>his dumb rattled again. But there's been a few more

0:19:33.160 --> 0:19:35.720
<v Speaker 1>interesting headlines out of the NRL in the last twenty

0:19:35.720 --> 0:19:37.919
<v Speaker 1>four hours the main one is and everyone knew this,

0:19:38.000 --> 0:19:40.360
<v Speaker 1>but josh Ado Carr has officially been.

0:19:40.200 --> 0:19:43.000
<v Speaker 3>Sacked by the Bulldogs. What for this time?

0:19:43.240 --> 0:19:46.240
<v Speaker 1>Josh Adow lines in the car got done for test

0:19:46.240 --> 0:19:49.160
<v Speaker 1>a positive for cocaine at a roadside drug test over

0:19:49.160 --> 0:19:53.560
<v Speaker 1>there in Australia and the the NRL handed him a

0:19:53.560 --> 0:19:57.879
<v Speaker 1>four match suspension, but the Bulldogs said because of a

0:19:57.960 --> 0:20:01.080
<v Speaker 1>lack of transparency, I he wouldn't talk to them about

0:20:01.080 --> 0:20:03.600
<v Speaker 1>what had happened, what hadn't happened. There's a chance he

0:20:03.720 --> 0:20:05.679
<v Speaker 1>probably tried to cover it up and they said, so

0:20:05.920 --> 0:20:06.760
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna bin here.

0:20:07.200 --> 0:20:07.800
<v Speaker 3>I'll tell you what.

0:20:08.040 --> 0:20:10.520
<v Speaker 1>If there's a team that needs a winger without an outspeed,

0:20:11.119 --> 0:20:12.640
<v Speaker 1>it is the one New Zealand Warriors.

0:20:13.160 --> 0:20:14.040
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, exactly, we.

0:20:14.000 --> 0:20:16.719
<v Speaker 4>Don't mind, mate, come over here. We'll give you an

0:20:16.800 --> 0:20:20.040
<v Speaker 4>Uber account or something. The thing with I wonder if

0:20:20.080 --> 0:20:22.639
<v Speaker 4>he was stopped by that Ossie Checkpoint TV show. Have

0:20:22.640 --> 0:20:24.399
<v Speaker 4>you seen it where they blow in the bag and

0:20:24.440 --> 0:20:27.119
<v Speaker 4>then they put them in the light. You don't know

0:20:27.160 --> 0:20:29.359
<v Speaker 4>where is it going to go over the limited and

0:20:29.400 --> 0:20:31.359
<v Speaker 4>you're waiting. Sometimes I'll cut to in the head and you.

0:20:31.440 --> 0:20:34.280
<v Speaker 3>Go, oh, you fastest, because there's.

0:20:34.040 --> 0:20:37.800
<v Speaker 4>Some bloody, bloody Bogan and his single It just waiting

0:20:37.800 --> 0:20:40.679
<v Speaker 4>and just saying, no, mate, I've only had a couple

0:20:40.720 --> 0:20:43.400
<v Speaker 4>and bloody, I'm absolutely fine, what are you talking about?

0:20:43.440 --> 0:20:45.399
<v Speaker 4>And you're going, no, you're not, and then he blows

0:20:45.400 --> 0:20:47.400
<v Speaker 4>in the bag and it's like, actually he is. Yeah,

0:20:47.520 --> 0:20:49.480
<v Speaker 4>you know, It's like I can't believe that because his

0:20:49.600 --> 0:20:52.240
<v Speaker 4>speech was slurs and everything, and so I'm just wondering.

0:20:52.280 --> 0:20:54.719
<v Speaker 4>I was hoping that Josh had Oca was caught on

0:20:54.760 --> 0:20:55.160
<v Speaker 4>that show.

0:20:55.280 --> 0:20:56.400
<v Speaker 3>That would have been great. Yeah.

0:20:56.440 --> 0:20:58.480
<v Speaker 1>It's one of my favorite clips on social media. I

0:20:58.560 --> 0:21:00.960
<v Speaker 1>laugh as I cry every time I said this guy wasted.

0:21:01.000 --> 0:21:02.560
<v Speaker 1>His eyes are rolling in the back of his head

0:21:02.560 --> 0:21:07.360
<v Speaker 1>and it's just like on the brink of passing out,

0:21:07.680 --> 0:21:10.359
<v Speaker 1>and then it comes up green and he's fine, He's fine.

0:21:10.119 --> 0:21:11.520
<v Speaker 3>Exactly what the hell like?

0:21:11.680 --> 0:21:15.439
<v Speaker 4>Sometimes the machine explodes the ones who carry it, who

0:21:15.520 --> 0:21:17.600
<v Speaker 4>hide it, well, the old boys a you know in

0:21:17.640 --> 0:21:20.200
<v Speaker 4>an old commodore, you know, the Commodore Calaei or something

0:21:20.240 --> 0:21:23.000
<v Speaker 4>like that, and you think that all right, and it's like, no, no,

0:21:23.320 --> 0:21:25.000
<v Speaker 4>he's fucking eighty percent whiskey.

0:21:25.960 --> 0:21:27.240
<v Speaker 3>You actually have you seen the guy that.

0:21:27.240 --> 0:21:30.240
<v Speaker 1>Drives around our neighborhood on a paramedic heels bike thing.

0:21:31.560 --> 0:21:33.159
<v Speaker 1>He goes up and down to the I think to

0:21:33.200 --> 0:21:37.120
<v Speaker 1>THEAH in our neighborhood. Yeah, yeah, it's like decked out

0:21:37.119 --> 0:21:40.040
<v Speaker 1>in paramedic heels. Anyway, I think that a lot of

0:21:40.040 --> 0:21:42.360
<v Speaker 1>those mobility scooters for those old guys, are to get

0:21:42.400 --> 0:21:46.720
<v Speaker 1>away from the drink driving because can't get done on sidewalk.

0:21:47.000 --> 0:21:47.840
<v Speaker 3>You will get you kick.

0:21:47.920 --> 0:21:50.480
<v Speaker 4>Can you're not on a mobility scooter, Well they must

0:21:50.520 --> 0:21:51.920
<v Speaker 4>find you can't.

0:21:52.080 --> 0:21:53.760
<v Speaker 3>I mean, this is a good question. They're not going

0:21:53.800 --> 0:21:55.680
<v Speaker 3>to pull you over. But yeah, but if.

0:21:55.600 --> 0:21:59.199
<v Speaker 4>They saw you weaving around on your mobility scooter, some

0:21:59.240 --> 0:22:02.680
<v Speaker 4>of them end up on the you know, you could

0:22:02.720 --> 0:22:03.120
<v Speaker 4>get done.

0:22:03.160 --> 0:22:04.639
<v Speaker 3>They go bucking rogue.

0:22:04.720 --> 0:22:07.639
<v Speaker 4>Yeah yeah, I almost got hit by a bike on

0:22:07.680 --> 0:22:08.520
<v Speaker 4>the footpath today.

0:22:08.560 --> 0:22:10.679
<v Speaker 3>And there's so many cycle lades in central Auckland. I

0:22:10.720 --> 0:22:11.480
<v Speaker 3>was like, what the fuck.

0:22:11.560 --> 0:22:14.119
<v Speaker 4>There's one right over there. And this guy had a

0:22:14.119 --> 0:22:16.200
<v Speaker 4>little crate on the front. Have you seen him around

0:22:16.200 --> 0:22:19.120
<v Speaker 4>the crate guy and craig guy. I think he has

0:22:19.160 --> 0:22:21.639
<v Speaker 4>the crate in case he sees bits and pieces on

0:22:21.680 --> 0:22:25.760
<v Speaker 4>the on the Yeah, yeah, he's anyway, it's just about

0:22:25.760 --> 0:22:28.960
<v Speaker 4>cleaning out. So who else are we getting the wires?

0:22:29.359 --> 0:22:32.159
<v Speaker 1>So the wars we are getting Aaron Clark, who's a

0:22:32.280 --> 0:22:35.000
<v Speaker 1>son of Timapatter Clark George.

0:22:35.119 --> 0:22:39.399
<v Speaker 3>That's right, Yes, she Tima Patter George these days.

0:22:39.480 --> 0:22:43.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah Clark anyway, Yeah, so yeah, that's and he's been

0:22:43.320 --> 0:22:44.120
<v Speaker 1>with the Warriors before.

0:22:44.119 --> 0:22:46.679
<v Speaker 3>I think she presented him as Jersey when he first played. Awesome,

0:22:46.960 --> 0:22:47.720
<v Speaker 3>So he's coming back.

0:22:47.720 --> 0:22:50.760
<v Speaker 1>And then Tanner Boys obviously James Fisher Harris as well.

0:22:50.960 --> 0:22:54.359
<v Speaker 1>But we've lost Marcelo Montour, yes, so we're down a winger.

0:22:54.440 --> 0:22:56.280
<v Speaker 1>So we could probably do with Josh edow lines in

0:22:56.320 --> 0:23:00.880
<v Speaker 1>the car. Tyrone Thompson was a brother of Leoson Jeeves

0:23:00.960 --> 0:23:04.040
<v Speaker 1>Monna plays for your Chiefs mana. He's hitting over, he's

0:23:04.119 --> 0:23:06.080
<v Speaker 1>leaving the Chiefs. He's going to join his brother at

0:23:06.080 --> 0:23:06.480
<v Speaker 1>the Nights.

0:23:06.600 --> 0:23:09.280
<v Speaker 4>It's a beautiful sort of fairy tale story, this one,

0:23:09.320 --> 0:23:12.960
<v Speaker 4>because I feel like Tyrone is an exact what would

0:23:12.960 --> 0:23:14.800
<v Speaker 4>you call a description of a rugby player who was

0:23:14.840 --> 0:23:17.000
<v Speaker 4>always between three or four positions.

0:23:17.000 --> 0:23:18.520
<v Speaker 3>He wasn't a perfect hooker.

0:23:18.600 --> 0:23:20.840
<v Speaker 4>He wasn't he could have played loose forward, but probably not,

0:23:21.880 --> 0:23:24.640
<v Speaker 4>you know, I don't know, just he wasn't so big

0:23:24.760 --> 0:23:27.159
<v Speaker 4>enough or all hookers or rapid or you know what

0:23:27.200 --> 0:23:29.360
<v Speaker 4>I mean. Like there's that thing where you go, yeah,

0:23:29.400 --> 0:23:30.360
<v Speaker 4>all hookers are that guy.

0:23:30.520 --> 0:23:34.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, all hookers are loose forwards that never grow true.

0:23:34.359 --> 0:23:38.040
<v Speaker 4>And so you go, Okay, this is actually good for him.

0:23:38.119 --> 0:23:41.159
<v Speaker 4>League solves that problem. And I feel like there's a

0:23:41.200 --> 0:23:44.040
<v Speaker 4>lot of small guys in union. Like there's a guy,

0:23:44.640 --> 0:23:48.160
<v Speaker 4>what's his name is, Jared Cook Savage. You know, he's

0:23:48.600 --> 0:23:52.359
<v Speaker 4>a combination of Captain Cook's first landing. It's like he

0:23:52.480 --> 0:23:56.600
<v Speaker 4>is the guy who's little and buzzes around the NPC.

0:23:56.800 --> 0:23:59.840
<v Speaker 3>Looks kind of good. But in an NRL team, yeah he.

0:23:59.800 --> 0:24:02.680
<v Speaker 4>Could because they've got those little spots for a fallback

0:24:02.760 --> 0:24:05.639
<v Speaker 4>or a impact hooker or whatever you know. Like, and

0:24:05.720 --> 0:24:09.479
<v Speaker 4>there's two halves who are generally quite small, so there's

0:24:09.760 --> 0:24:12.119
<v Speaker 4>at least four positions out there in the league that

0:24:12.160 --> 0:24:12.760
<v Speaker 4>you can fill.

0:24:13.040 --> 0:24:16.080
<v Speaker 1>League players are deceptively small. Yeah, when you see them

0:24:16.119 --> 0:24:18.080
<v Speaker 1>out in the out in the wild, like is actually

0:24:18.119 --> 0:24:21.159
<v Speaker 1>quite small. I reckon it's why Benji couldn't transfer to

0:24:21.800 --> 0:24:22.520
<v Speaker 1>rugby union.

0:24:22.800 --> 0:24:24.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, he's a little bit too small for a first five.

0:24:25.000 --> 0:24:27.800
<v Speaker 3>And he wasn't really a first five, no natural position

0:24:27.840 --> 0:24:29.919
<v Speaker 3>for him, no, exactly. He did it the other way.

0:24:29.920 --> 0:24:32.439
<v Speaker 4>Whereas always look at even justin Marshall. He was a

0:24:32.520 --> 0:24:35.520
<v Speaker 4>really good halfback, but you know in league it would

0:24:35.520 --> 0:24:38.120
<v Speaker 4>have been because he's so combative and stuff, and he

0:24:38.160 --> 0:24:40.920
<v Speaker 4>could have probably been a really good hooker in league.

0:24:41.000 --> 0:24:41.960
<v Speaker 3>Same with TJP.

0:24:42.840 --> 0:24:45.760
<v Speaker 4>He's been eclipsed by those young guys, but he always

0:24:45.760 --> 0:24:47.600
<v Speaker 4>seemed to me like he probably could have made the move.

0:24:47.640 --> 0:24:51.040
<v Speaker 4>And Jimmy cown Yeah, well yeah, he would have loved

0:24:51.080 --> 0:24:54.480
<v Speaker 4>the the afters. He would have loved the parties on

0:24:54.480 --> 0:24:57.359
<v Speaker 4>the Goaldie. I reckon, jim I think he's a power

0:24:57.400 --> 0:24:59.639
<v Speaker 4>diver down there and in the cargo now is even bluff?

0:24:59.720 --> 0:24:59.920
<v Speaker 5>Yeah?

0:25:00.160 --> 0:25:01.600
<v Speaker 3>Oh nice? Yes, yeah.

0:25:01.880 --> 0:25:03.800
<v Speaker 1>Could never get him, could never get a hold of him.

0:25:03.840 --> 0:25:05.720
<v Speaker 1>Does never his phone on him when he's down there

0:25:05.760 --> 0:25:08.040
<v Speaker 1>under the water. The other, the other one that really

0:25:08.040 --> 0:25:09.040
<v Speaker 1>caught my eye.

0:25:10.680 --> 0:25:15.920
<v Speaker 3>Is Terrell May. So he is he You may have

0:25:15.920 --> 0:25:16.360
<v Speaker 3>heard of him.

0:25:16.400 --> 0:25:18.960
<v Speaker 1>He's a prop for the Roosters who just lost Jared

0:25:19.000 --> 0:25:21.639
<v Speaker 1>Wide your hardgravees can we as well? Terrell May has

0:25:21.680 --> 0:25:23.400
<v Speaker 1>been dropped by the Roosters that sort of came out

0:25:23.400 --> 0:25:26.200
<v Speaker 1>of nowhere. Now his brother is the one who got

0:25:26.760 --> 0:25:28.359
<v Speaker 1>May tattooed across his throat.

0:25:28.440 --> 0:25:29.399
<v Speaker 3>Do you remember seeing that?

0:25:30.200 --> 0:25:33.159
<v Speaker 1>So Tyrone is his name. He played for the was

0:25:33.200 --> 0:25:38.600
<v Speaker 1>he Tyrone? Yeah, he played for the Panthers. He got

0:25:38.720 --> 0:25:42.120
<v Speaker 1>may tattooed across his throat. Then he filmed himself doing

0:25:42.160 --> 0:25:44.520
<v Speaker 1>about one hundred and something k's past the school in

0:25:44.560 --> 0:25:45.480
<v Speaker 1>a rented supercar.

0:25:45.760 --> 0:25:48.080
<v Speaker 3>Oh shit, got his contract torn up.

0:25:48.840 --> 0:25:51.920
<v Speaker 1>Terrell may Is the guy was one of the guys

0:25:51.920 --> 0:25:56.879
<v Speaker 1>in the video with Brandon Smith earlier this year. Oh yeah,

0:25:57.000 --> 0:25:58.600
<v Speaker 1>when they're all in the hotel room.

0:25:58.680 --> 0:25:59.520
<v Speaker 3>So what's happened to him?

0:26:00.080 --> 0:26:02.520
<v Speaker 1>Don't know, but he so just torn his contract up.

0:26:02.560 --> 0:26:05.600
<v Speaker 1>The thing is he's had a breakout season. They just

0:26:05.680 --> 0:26:08.560
<v Speaker 1>signed him to a two year extension. Yeah, and they

0:26:08.680 --> 0:26:12.000
<v Speaker 1>just lost another one of their props. They then they

0:26:12.080 --> 0:26:14.520
<v Speaker 1>drop them. Something's going on there.

0:26:14.680 --> 0:26:18.000
<v Speaker 4>He sounds like the perfect we called fodder for that

0:26:18.680 --> 0:26:21.880
<v Speaker 4>NRL three sixty exactly because they would love to talk

0:26:21.920 --> 0:26:25.200
<v Speaker 4>about all the drama of a young prop doing naughty things.

0:26:25.480 --> 0:26:28.679
<v Speaker 4>They're never going to talk about the drama of a

0:26:28.760 --> 0:26:31.600
<v Speaker 4>senior official at a club or maybe a club owner.

0:26:31.600 --> 0:26:34.960
<v Speaker 3>But they will bloody whale on any young any young

0:26:35.000 --> 0:26:37.600
<v Speaker 3>player with a neck tattoo. They are in all in.

0:26:37.800 --> 0:26:39.720
<v Speaker 4>Whereas it's quite funny because everyone goes that's such a

0:26:39.720 --> 0:26:42.040
<v Speaker 4>hard heading show, and I go, yeah, not for the

0:26:42.080 --> 0:26:44.960
<v Speaker 4>top brass, like they don't seem to talk about you know,

0:26:45.600 --> 0:26:48.560
<v Speaker 4>shit dodgy little payments and paper bags full of money

0:26:48.600 --> 0:26:50.840
<v Speaker 4>and how they because that apparently happens a lot in

0:26:50.840 --> 0:26:53.119
<v Speaker 4>the NRL. Yeah, and you think they don't know about it.

0:26:53.160 --> 0:26:55.199
<v Speaker 4>Of course they know exactly. But if they brought that

0:26:55.240 --> 0:26:58.480
<v Speaker 4>fucking house of cards down, then isn't it then either

0:26:58.520 --> 0:27:01.040
<v Speaker 4>I don't know, they'll end up like Swimming with the

0:27:01.080 --> 0:27:04.760
<v Speaker 4>Fishes or there'll be no NRL three sixty because those

0:27:04.800 --> 0:27:05.800
<v Speaker 4>guys are so powerful.

0:27:06.359 --> 0:27:09.320
<v Speaker 3>Like that show is taken off now, that's right, And

0:27:09.359 --> 0:27:12.280
<v Speaker 3>if our show isn't back on Monday, you'll know what's happening.

0:27:12.880 --> 0:27:17.360
<v Speaker 4>Talking about paperbag payments by a lot of clubs.

0:27:17.040 --> 0:27:21.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah yeah, two two clubs really stick out, they are

0:27:21.240 --> 0:27:23.800
<v Speaker 1>We mentioned one one of them's yeah, and the other

0:27:23.840 --> 0:27:29.000
<v Speaker 1>ones had some titles stripped off for exactly that. Clinton

0:27:29.040 --> 0:27:31.560
<v Speaker 1>Gatherson's leaving the Eels as well. I can't picture Gutho

0:27:31.600 --> 0:27:33.360
<v Speaker 1>in a different Jersey.

0:27:33.440 --> 0:27:36.080
<v Speaker 3>Fuck where's he going? Well the Dragons.

0:27:36.280 --> 0:27:39.439
<v Speaker 1>So the Eels have picked up Zach Lomax, right, so

0:27:39.560 --> 0:27:43.680
<v Speaker 1>oh my god, what is signing? So presumably the Dragons

0:27:43.720 --> 0:27:45.879
<v Speaker 1>are going to use that money to sign Gotho, so

0:27:45.920 --> 0:27:47.959
<v Speaker 1>it's basically a trade. But again, if there was a

0:27:47.960 --> 0:27:50.760
<v Speaker 1>trade window, you know, this would have been so much

0:27:50.760 --> 0:27:52.520
<v Speaker 1>more exciting if this was a trade.

0:27:52.680 --> 0:27:54.919
<v Speaker 3>Yes, we'd be so excited about that. Yeah, I know,

0:27:55.040 --> 0:27:57.119
<v Speaker 3>I know, didn't.

0:27:58.040 --> 0:28:02.000
<v Speaker 4>The West Tigers have signed someone bigs Jerome Loui. Yes,

0:28:02.240 --> 0:28:05.880
<v Speaker 4>Jerome Loai, So that is really cool because Louais going

0:28:05.920 --> 0:28:09.920
<v Speaker 4>to work under Benji Marshall is exciting. But they've also

0:28:10.000 --> 0:28:13.440
<v Speaker 4>got that absolute superstar in the making who's eighteen years

0:28:13.480 --> 0:28:19.240
<v Speaker 4>old and Lucky Galvin. So just having those guys there.

0:28:19.680 --> 0:28:21.879
<v Speaker 4>Can people just leave the Wist Tigers. I've got a

0:28:21.920 --> 0:28:23.440
<v Speaker 4>bit of a soft spot for them because of Gary

0:28:23.480 --> 0:28:26.919
<v Speaker 4>Freeman and all the kiwis Olsen for the pineter who

0:28:26.920 --> 0:28:30.240
<v Speaker 4>played there. But leave Brittany alone, Leave Brittany and alone

0:28:30.800 --> 0:28:34.280
<v Speaker 4>because the Roosters they took to Disco, the Storm took

0:28:34.359 --> 0:28:37.480
<v Speaker 4>Peppenhausen from under their noses. Can they just leave these

0:28:37.520 --> 0:28:39.360
<v Speaker 4>two there and see what they can do.

0:28:39.440 --> 0:28:39.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:28:39.640 --> 0:28:42.200
<v Speaker 1>The Melbourne Storm even gave Harry Grant to the Tigers

0:28:42.240 --> 0:28:43.959
<v Speaker 1>and then we're like, oh no, hang on, actually we're

0:28:43.960 --> 0:28:46.800
<v Speaker 1>having back because that's mean. And the one other one

0:28:46.800 --> 0:28:49.520
<v Speaker 1>that I wanted to mention was buntil four. He is

0:28:49.840 --> 0:28:51.960
<v Speaker 1>leaving the NRL, going over to the Super League, and

0:28:52.040 --> 0:28:54.440
<v Speaker 1>I feel like not enough was made of buntil four

0:28:54.480 --> 0:28:55.840
<v Speaker 1>being told he could leave the Warriors.

0:28:56.240 --> 0:28:58.760
<v Speaker 3>Yes, what a legend he's been for the club. Yes,

0:28:58.880 --> 0:29:03.480
<v Speaker 3>that iconic. Here, the whole thing is like, so he's going,

0:29:03.680 --> 0:29:06.040
<v Speaker 3>but unceremonious to be to be feared. How old is he?

0:29:06.040 --> 0:29:12.040
<v Speaker 3>Because he always seemed forever young. He he is just

0:29:12.040 --> 0:29:14.080
<v Speaker 3>the pist went to high school with him. So okay,

0:29:14.080 --> 0:29:15.720
<v Speaker 3>that's how old he is. Oh well it might not

0:29:15.760 --> 0:29:16.320
<v Speaker 3>even be thirty.

0:29:16.360 --> 0:29:17.240
<v Speaker 1>Y know.

0:29:17.280 --> 0:29:18.680
<v Speaker 3>He's young, Yeah, very young.

0:29:18.920 --> 0:29:21.760
<v Speaker 1>Okay, he may be back yet, and this is probably

0:29:21.800 --> 0:29:23.760
<v Speaker 1>something that I should discuss with Matt Heath when he's

0:29:23.800 --> 0:29:24.600
<v Speaker 1>back on next week.

0:29:24.640 --> 0:29:28.600
<v Speaker 3>But the Dodgers won the World Series? Do we hear? Yes?

0:29:28.680 --> 0:29:30.680
<v Speaker 4>We do here because before we move on to the Dodgers,

0:29:30.880 --> 0:29:33.360
<v Speaker 4>you talked about the Worriors needing a winger. So Micah

0:29:33.480 --> 0:29:35.920
<v Speaker 4>Sivo apparently is on the market. But is he looking

0:29:35.960 --> 0:29:36.920
<v Speaker 4>at rugby or something?

0:29:37.080 --> 0:29:40.120
<v Speaker 1>I think he's looking at Super League right, which because

0:29:40.120 --> 0:29:42.600
<v Speaker 1>he could make so much money in rugby. He could

0:29:42.600 --> 0:29:44.719
<v Speaker 1>and they could probably do with them, he'd probably walk

0:29:44.760 --> 0:29:45.400
<v Speaker 1>into the Wallabies.

0:29:45.800 --> 0:29:47.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, easy this take that tharough.

0:29:48.000 --> 0:29:50.040
<v Speaker 1>I was also thinking, imagine if you're a winger and

0:29:50.040 --> 0:29:52.240
<v Speaker 1>you play for a whole of hooders Field or Wigan

0:29:52.400 --> 0:29:54.320
<v Speaker 1>or something, and you're gonna go out there on the

0:29:54.320 --> 0:29:57.160
<v Speaker 1>frozen tundra and face Micah sibo oh Man.

0:29:57.600 --> 0:29:59.960
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, because he could do a rad raja and end up,

0:30:00.120 --> 0:30:01.960
<v Speaker 4>you know, playing for Fiji and all that sort of

0:30:01.960 --> 0:30:04.480
<v Speaker 4>stuff if he wanted to, but long and needs to

0:30:04.520 --> 0:30:05.880
<v Speaker 4>do it too long, do a too long deal?

0:30:07.400 --> 0:30:10.720
<v Speaker 3>Okay, Yes, Dodges Dodgers. How do we feel about it?

0:30:10.720 --> 0:30:13.000
<v Speaker 3>We're excited. I know Matt he's been talking about nothing

0:30:13.040 --> 0:30:14.000
<v Speaker 3>but the Dodgers. Yes.

0:30:14.200 --> 0:30:15.880
<v Speaker 4>I've got a couple of mates who love the Dodgers,

0:30:15.920 --> 0:30:20.000
<v Speaker 4>Matt Heaths one, Nathan NADERI is mad keen Dodgers fan.

0:30:20.320 --> 0:30:24.520
<v Speaker 4>I'm kind of like, I'm semi Dodgers, you know. I've

0:30:24.520 --> 0:30:26.360
<v Speaker 4>got a bit of semi for them. I think that

0:30:26.400 --> 0:30:29.800
<v Speaker 4>there's there's stuff to like, but then they keep keep

0:30:29.840 --> 0:30:32.520
<v Speaker 4>on spending, and so I feel like they're a bit

0:30:32.560 --> 0:30:34.600
<v Speaker 4>like Manchester United in the old days, where you just

0:30:34.640 --> 0:30:37.760
<v Speaker 4>like any good player just ended up.

0:30:37.240 --> 0:30:40.000
<v Speaker 3>On the Dodgers. Yeah. Yeah, felt that way with it

0:30:40.240 --> 0:30:43.880
<v Speaker 3>because they got it. When they did that deal. It

0:30:43.960 --> 0:30:46.440
<v Speaker 3>was like, yeah, yeah, I see what you've done there.

0:30:46.680 --> 0:30:47.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah the salary sombrero.

0:30:48.320 --> 0:30:52.640
<v Speaker 4>So yes, I think it's cool apparently, Like I listened

0:30:52.680 --> 0:30:56.000
<v Speaker 4>to I won't say we don't promote other podcasts, but

0:30:56.040 --> 0:30:58.280
<v Speaker 4>I listened to an American one where they were going,

0:30:58.520 --> 0:31:01.200
<v Speaker 4>remember when people cared about base Remember when they're honking

0:31:01.240 --> 0:31:03.160
<v Speaker 4>their horns when someone won the World Series and blah

0:31:03.160 --> 0:31:07.960
<v Speaker 4>blah blah, so skills. Yeah, no it's not, no Dan Libertad,

0:31:08.240 --> 0:31:12.280
<v Speaker 4>but anyway, it was. It's like that kind of a

0:31:12.320 --> 0:31:15.000
<v Speaker 4>little bit miffed or you know, underwhelmed by the whole thing.

0:31:15.480 --> 0:31:17.280
<v Speaker 1>But this is I mean, maybe it's just because I've

0:31:17.320 --> 0:31:19.080
<v Speaker 1>been talking to Heath a lot, but this seems to

0:31:19.120 --> 0:31:22.040
<v Speaker 1>be the most well supported World Series I can remember.

0:31:22.480 --> 0:31:25.120
<v Speaker 4>Well, it's you have the two powerhouses right there. There's

0:31:25.120 --> 0:31:28.160
<v Speaker 4>no bigger names in the sport than Dodgers and Yankees, right.

0:31:28.000 --> 0:31:31.080
<v Speaker 3>So, and everyone's got one of the hats? Yes, yeah,

0:31:31.120 --> 0:31:33.640
<v Speaker 3>exactly which one? Which one goes better?

0:31:33.640 --> 0:31:35.800
<v Speaker 4>I mean I feel like New York Yankees sells more hats,

0:31:35.800 --> 0:31:38.800
<v Speaker 4>but LA still makes a decent splash.

0:31:38.800 --> 0:31:40.840
<v Speaker 1>It'd be one A one B. I got a New

0:31:40.920 --> 0:31:42.640
<v Speaker 1>York Yankees hat somewhere in my closet.

0:31:42.720 --> 0:31:44.920
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, my sister brought me the pin stripe hat back

0:31:44.960 --> 0:31:47.080
<v Speaker 4>in the nineties and I thrashed the shit out of

0:31:47.080 --> 0:31:49.800
<v Speaker 4>that till it was red beer. Yeah, a great cap.

0:31:49.880 --> 0:31:53.160
<v Speaker 4>But I've still got so much abuse from Americans because

0:31:53.200 --> 0:31:55.960
<v Speaker 4>they are for no reason. It's like because you don't

0:31:55.960 --> 0:31:58.160
<v Speaker 4>know anything about the team, or just because they hate

0:31:58.200 --> 0:32:02.440
<v Speaker 4>the Yankees. Ah right, you don't realize is really just

0:32:03.160 --> 0:32:06.000
<v Speaker 4>a lightning rod for for abuse. Whereas I wore a

0:32:06.000 --> 0:32:12.080
<v Speaker 4>Cleveland Brown's jersey once and they over in America and

0:32:12.120 --> 0:32:18.040
<v Speaker 4>they were every American second favorite team, and I.

0:32:17.960 --> 0:32:19.120
<v Speaker 3>Was like, oh, yeah, it's quite good.

0:32:19.160 --> 0:32:22.240
<v Speaker 4>And the same with a Georgia Bulldog shirt, like you

0:32:22.360 --> 0:32:25.560
<v Speaker 4>just go Bulldogs and you just get that from people

0:32:25.640 --> 0:32:28.360
<v Speaker 4>yelling across the streets. So it's just like a that

0:32:29.760 --> 0:32:32.160
<v Speaker 4>that's an American thing. Really, they acknowledged the team that

0:32:32.200 --> 0:32:35.800
<v Speaker 4>you were, that you're wearing or supporting, and as a key,

0:32:35.840 --> 0:32:38.200
<v Speaker 4>we like I've got a Dodger's shirt. I've got a

0:32:38.200 --> 0:32:40.920
<v Speaker 4>free freaking hot dog from some guy in la As

0:32:40.960 --> 0:32:43.160
<v Speaker 4>they had my Dodger's shirt on. I didn't even realize

0:32:43.160 --> 0:32:45.920
<v Speaker 4>because it just said Los Angeles and I, oh, of

0:32:45.920 --> 0:32:47.200
<v Speaker 4>course it's a Dodger shit.

0:32:47.360 --> 0:32:49.080
<v Speaker 3>In New Zealand, no one had mentioned anything. No I

0:32:49.080 --> 0:32:49.760
<v Speaker 3>would say anything.

0:32:50.120 --> 0:32:52.160
<v Speaker 1>Although I do think if you're wearing Warriors kit and

0:32:52.200 --> 0:32:56.000
<v Speaker 1>another guy in Warrior's kit partechiclarly on game day, they'll

0:32:56.000 --> 0:32:56.400
<v Speaker 1>have a yarn.

0:32:56.920 --> 0:32:58.840
<v Speaker 3>I think so too. I think that's actually where it's

0:32:58.880 --> 0:32:59.400
<v Speaker 3>changed there.

0:32:59.520 --> 0:33:03.200
<v Speaker 4>I thinks merchants become a big up the Wars when

0:33:03.240 --> 0:33:06.840
<v Speaker 4>you see and I saw someone in airport security overseas

0:33:06.880 --> 0:33:08.960
<v Speaker 4>and I set up the wires to them and he

0:33:09.000 --> 0:33:12.560
<v Speaker 4>wasn't that excited at all. He's like, I was like,

0:33:12.640 --> 0:33:16.800
<v Speaker 4>come on, mate's and I'm upping the Wars.

0:33:16.840 --> 0:33:19.520
<v Speaker 3>You're wearing Wars. Can we have a little first mount.

0:33:19.800 --> 0:33:22.120
<v Speaker 3>Let's go on. He's probably just got to have a

0:33:22.160 --> 0:33:24.320
<v Speaker 3>seventeen hour flight show.

0:33:26.680 --> 0:33:29.880
<v Speaker 1>We've been talking about selling our ute on Auto Trader

0:33:30.280 --> 0:33:34.360
<v Speaker 1>mccaroney and we're finally doing it. The auction went live overnight.

0:33:35.880 --> 0:33:39.240
<v Speaker 1>I know who's leading the bidding, and that's because it's me.

0:33:40.000 --> 0:33:44.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm trying to buy this thing. Yeah, all the boy,

0:33:44.560 --> 0:33:45.239
<v Speaker 1>do you want to buy it?

0:33:45.520 --> 0:33:46.280
<v Speaker 3>I love the suit.

0:33:46.320 --> 0:33:49.200
<v Speaker 1>I've bonded with it, and I've been saying this whole time.

0:33:49.240 --> 0:33:51.560
<v Speaker 1>It's been a massive own goal because it was my

0:33:51.640 --> 0:33:54.440
<v Speaker 1>idea to sell it. I was like, look, the Auto

0:33:54.480 --> 0:33:56.320
<v Speaker 1>Trader want to want you to tell New Zealand about

0:33:56.320 --> 0:33:58.560
<v Speaker 1>your cars, Like we've got a car, let's sell it.

0:33:58.880 --> 0:34:00.280
<v Speaker 3>And then I was like, what the fuck did you

0:34:00.280 --> 0:34:03.080
<v Speaker 3>say that? You do it because I drive it most

0:34:03.120 --> 0:34:03.520
<v Speaker 3>of the time.

0:34:03.600 --> 0:34:07.040
<v Speaker 4>So Auto Trader we're doing auctions a bit like trade

0:34:07.040 --> 0:34:07.960
<v Speaker 4>me now, Is that right?

0:34:08.040 --> 0:34:09.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah? Basically, yeah, that's the go.

0:34:09.680 --> 0:34:12.880
<v Speaker 1>And so this is actually the first car that Auto

0:34:12.920 --> 0:34:16.360
<v Speaker 1>Trader are selling by auction, as the Alternative Commentary Collective's

0:34:16.400 --> 0:34:19.719

0:34:19.840 --> 0:34:22.600

<v Speaker 3>With me if you place the winning bid.

0:34:28.120 --> 0:34:29.759
<v Speaker 1>A bunch of people have gotten on board with us,

0:34:30.040 --> 0:34:32.040
<v Speaker 1>so we've loaded the glove box with a thousand dollars

0:34:32.040 --> 0:34:35.080
<v Speaker 1>worth of petrol vouchers, one thousand dollars worth of grocery vouchers.

0:34:35.080 --> 0:34:39.120

0:34:45.960 --> 0:34:49.160
<v Speaker 1>I know the text ute to three two three six

0:34:49.480 --> 0:34:52.160
<v Speaker 1>for a direct link to the Auto Trader listing. And

0:34:52.200 --> 0:34:54.080
<v Speaker 1>while you're there telling New Zealand about your car, it's

0:34:54.080 --> 0:34:56.160
<v Speaker 1>so easy to sign up for an account there as well.

0:34:56.160 --> 0:34:58.480
<v Speaker 1>I did it this morning and straight away I'm into

0:34:58.560 --> 0:34:59.680
<v Speaker 1>the into the bidding war.

0:35:00.160 --> 0:35:02.439
<v Speaker 3>What's the bidding end? At the moment before we.

0:35:02.360 --> 0:35:06.400
<v Speaker 1>Walked in here, it was I think somewhere between a

0:35:06.480 --> 0:35:09.000
<v Speaker 1>grand and fifteen hundred, so it's very early doors and

0:35:09.040 --> 0:35:11.480
<v Speaker 1>when does it shut? Runs for the whole month? So

0:35:12.360 --> 0:35:14.760
<v Speaker 1>I will be out but by someone at some point.

0:35:14.920 --> 0:35:16.759
<v Speaker 3>Because it is a bit of a classic that you use.

0:35:17.040 --> 0:35:21.080
<v Speaker 1>It's so suck like when people, particularly dudes, they'll come

0:35:21.120 --> 0:35:23.279
<v Speaker 1>over and be like, this is sirck what year is it?

0:35:23.440 --> 0:35:26.560
<v Speaker 1>Is it six? Celeing the eight cylinder whatever? Blah blah blah.

0:35:26.600 --> 0:35:29.759
<v Speaker 1>And it used to have your face on it, which

0:35:29.920 --> 0:35:32.399
<v Speaker 1>would stop people in their tracks. Yeah, yeah, we've done

0:35:32.440 --> 0:35:34.319
<v Speaker 1>it up now so it doesn't have everyone's face on it.

0:35:34.719 --> 0:35:36.839
<v Speaker 3>Storm Purpose's face was over the petrol cap.

0:35:37.080 --> 0:35:39.320
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it's right, and then every time you put petrel

0:35:39.360 --> 0:35:41.759
<v Speaker 4>and you were putting something in the Storm's mouth.

0:35:42.160 --> 0:35:45.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, which and when we did burnouts in it, there

0:35:45.680 --> 0:35:47.480
<v Speaker 1>was petrol coming out of the camp that was like

0:35:47.560 --> 0:35:48.840
<v Speaker 1>coming out of Storm's eyes.

0:35:49.239 --> 0:35:51.680
<v Speaker 3>She was gorying. But also storm purpose is only done.

0:35:51.719 --> 0:35:54.760
<v Speaker 4>I think two podcasts, maybe a little bit of commentary

0:35:54.760 --> 0:35:55.680
<v Speaker 4>for the AC set.

0:35:55.719 --> 0:35:58.720
<v Speaker 3>What I What am I going to do? I couldn't

0:35:58.719 --> 0:36:01.040
<v Speaker 3>get on the petrol cap whea. Do you know what

0:36:01.160 --> 0:36:01.640
<v Speaker 3>I checked?

0:36:01.760 --> 0:36:05.840
<v Speaker 4>Speaking of things that are for sale, the ACC Almanac,

0:36:06.480 --> 0:36:08.440
<v Speaker 4>I've heard a lot of people saying I want to

0:36:08.480 --> 0:36:12.080
<v Speaker 4>get that as a Christmas gift for this person that person.

0:36:12.400 --> 0:36:14.799
<v Speaker 4>Can you sign it? When they first told me about it,

0:36:14.880 --> 0:36:17.680
<v Speaker 4>I thought they're talking about like a cricket almanac.

0:36:17.360 --> 0:36:18.720
<v Speaker 3>Or was than sports?

0:36:18.800 --> 0:36:21.320
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I think there was some New Zealand sports almanac

0:36:21.360 --> 0:36:23.080
<v Speaker 4>out and I went, why do you want me to

0:36:23.080 --> 0:36:23.400
<v Speaker 4>sign it?

0:36:23.440 --> 0:36:24.680
<v Speaker 3>Get someone who actually plays sport?

0:36:24.760 --> 0:36:26.200
<v Speaker 4>And they said no, no, you were actually on the

0:36:26.239 --> 0:36:31.040
<v Speaker 4>cover the fucking ACC Almanac. And I went, oh shit, Okay,

0:36:31.080 --> 0:36:34.080
<v Speaker 4>well yeah, I guess so. But then I thought I'm

0:36:34.080 --> 0:36:36.400
<v Speaker 4>going to check and see because I wrote a chapter

0:36:37.480 --> 0:36:39.680
<v Speaker 4>for Dylan Cleaver who was on deadline. He was absolutely

0:36:39.680 --> 0:36:42.520
<v Speaker 4>shitting his pants. It was about two days before he

0:36:42.560 --> 0:36:45.200
<v Speaker 4>had to hand in his manuscript and he goes, I

0:36:45.239 --> 0:36:47.799
<v Speaker 4>need something on you know everyone's doing it.

0:36:47.840 --> 0:36:50.040
<v Speaker 3>You've got a chapter on how to streak?

0:36:50.160 --> 0:36:50.399
<v Speaker 5>Is it?

0:36:50.480 --> 0:36:51.400
<v Speaker 3>Yep? How to Streak?

0:36:51.480 --> 0:36:55.080
<v Speaker 1>And also the signs that you're a Warriors diehard fan.

0:36:55.360 --> 0:36:56.800
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, did you write those yourself?

0:36:56.840 --> 0:36:59.560
<v Speaker 1>That was ghost written by my dad nice who comes

0:36:59.600 --> 0:37:01.319
<v Speaker 1>up every time you're on this podcast we talk about

0:37:01.360 --> 0:37:01.640
<v Speaker 1>my dad.

0:37:01.960 --> 0:37:05.640
<v Speaker 3>Ste's a good writer. She's a good writer. These spelling mistakes, but.

0:37:05.520 --> 0:37:08.360
<v Speaker 4>That's still but he's still got the gift of the quill.

0:37:08.560 --> 0:37:13.439
<v Speaker 4>And so I think, Dylan, he goes, it's okay, mate,

0:37:13.440 --> 0:37:15.240
<v Speaker 4>you can just we can do an interview.

0:37:15.280 --> 0:37:15.480
<v Speaker 3>Now.

0:37:15.600 --> 0:37:18.200
<v Speaker 4>I'll turn on the dictaphone and I'll just take some notes.

0:37:18.239 --> 0:37:20.240
<v Speaker 4>And I went, mate, just leave it with me. I'll

0:37:20.280 --> 0:37:23.879
<v Speaker 4>write you something. And I because I could tell I could.

0:37:23.960 --> 0:37:26.120
<v Speaker 4>It was Dylan Cleaver under pressure, Dylan Cleaver. You know,

0:37:26.200 --> 0:37:28.400
<v Speaker 4>He's like, I've got this bloody book I've got to write.

0:37:28.800 --> 0:37:30.400
<v Speaker 4>And then I went, it's all right, I'll write you

0:37:30.440 --> 0:37:32.239
<v Speaker 4>a chapter. But then I thought, is he going to

0:37:32.320 --> 0:37:33.960
<v Speaker 4>credit me with the chapter?

0:37:34.280 --> 0:37:37.520
<v Speaker 3>Given that I wrote it with my own bare hands?

0:37:37.719 --> 0:37:40.719
<v Speaker 4>And then he did. Well, it does say in the

0:37:40.719 --> 0:37:43.759
<v Speaker 4>book James mcconey's Guide to blah blah blah. But I

0:37:43.800 --> 0:37:46.200
<v Speaker 4>do notice your two chapters have no mention of your father.

0:37:46.760 --> 0:37:49.640
<v Speaker 1>No, I probably should have said on this podcast this

0:37:49.760 --> 0:37:50.400
<v Speaker 1>we'll get back to him.

0:37:50.400 --> 0:37:53.840
<v Speaker 3>He'll be hitting them out for front there for some royalties.

0:37:53.960 --> 0:37:56.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, well look if it makes him feel any better,

0:37:56.600 --> 0:37:58.040
<v Speaker 1>I haven't seen the fucking center it either.

0:37:58.080 --> 0:38:01.520
<v Speaker 3>But you can't go and buy them forty bucks or something?

0:38:01.680 --> 0:38:02.160
<v Speaker 3>Is it? Yeah?

0:38:02.160 --> 0:38:04.120
<v Speaker 1>I think it's I think it's forty bucks. So go

0:38:04.239 --> 0:38:07.759
<v Speaker 1>onto the a SEC website and audio your copy. Now,

0:38:07.800 --> 0:38:09.680
<v Speaker 1>all right, I think we need to take a quick

0:38:09.760 --> 0:38:12.600
<v Speaker 1>break and when we come back, let's get Jason Pine

0:38:12.640 --> 0:38:15.080
<v Speaker 1>on to preview this K football derby.

0:38:15.200 --> 0:38:17.480
<v Speaker 3>Juicy.

0:38:18.280 --> 0:38:20.640
<v Speaker 1>Oh well, it's a great honor and privilege to join,

0:38:21.719 --> 0:38:23.800
<v Speaker 1>well what I consider to be the voice of the

0:38:23.880 --> 0:38:26.680
<v Speaker 1>round ball here in New Zealand. Mcconi absolutely the douy

0:38:26.719 --> 0:38:27.959
<v Speaker 1>and the youngest douyan ever.

0:38:29.800 --> 0:38:32.239
<v Speaker 3>It's Jason Pine. Good morning, Piney. How you going?

0:38:32.560 --> 0:38:34.480
<v Speaker 5>Yeah? Good things. I feel like deui in you know,

0:38:34.560 --> 0:38:37.560
<v Speaker 5>suggests a community elder of some sort. But that's okay.

0:38:37.880 --> 0:38:41.680
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, you've just risen to power really young, like Justin

0:38:41.719 --> 0:38:43.840
<v Speaker 4>Trudeau in Canada. Really, I think it's just one of

0:38:43.880 --> 0:38:45.919
<v Speaker 4>those ones where who's that handsome devil?

0:38:46.000 --> 0:38:49.440
<v Speaker 3>He's now in charge? What's that handsome doy in? Yeah?

0:38:49.640 --> 0:38:53.080
<v Speaker 1>You fired up for this weekend's derby, piny. Does it

0:38:53.200 --> 0:38:54.400
<v Speaker 1>feel like a derby?

0:38:54.760 --> 0:38:58.840
<v Speaker 5>You absolutely does. I'm usterly fired up for it, totally

0:38:58.880 --> 0:39:02.560
<v Speaker 5>first for it in the capital. Yeah, it feels like

0:39:03.120 --> 0:39:06.520
<v Speaker 5>the start of a pretty special weekend. The Auckland FC fans,

0:39:06.520 --> 0:39:08.560
<v Speaker 5>some of them have already hit town. I've seen a

0:39:08.560 --> 0:39:11.640
<v Speaker 5>few blue and black Recklica shirts around here this morning.

0:39:11.640 --> 0:39:14.480
<v Speaker 5>Lots of yellow though as well. David Dome has been

0:39:14.560 --> 0:39:17.520
<v Speaker 5>encouraging Wellingtonians to wear yellow today and that certainly has

0:39:17.600 --> 0:39:20.160
<v Speaker 5>happened too. But yeah, it does feel like a derby.

0:39:20.280 --> 0:39:22.440
<v Speaker 5>You know, when you consider the Phoenix, there's only derbies

0:39:22.480 --> 0:39:25.360
<v Speaker 5>up to now been distance derby's, which I mean, I

0:39:25.360 --> 0:39:27.880
<v Speaker 5>don't even know if that's a thing you play Perth

0:39:28.120 --> 0:39:30.600
<v Speaker 5>and that's a derby, I don't think. So this feels

0:39:30.640 --> 0:39:31.600
<v Speaker 5>like one. Absolutely.

0:39:32.040 --> 0:39:35.480
<v Speaker 1>The interesting part to me is how quickly this rivalry

0:39:35.520 --> 0:39:38.759
<v Speaker 1>has come about. Like before the Auckland FC even kicked

0:39:38.760 --> 0:39:42.239
<v Speaker 1>their first ball, there was a rivalry the Phoenix fans

0:39:42.280 --> 0:39:45.120
<v Speaker 1>were passed off about it. This could only be good

0:39:45.120 --> 0:39:48.279
<v Speaker 1>for the next though, can't It Doesn't the rivalry make

0:39:48.400 --> 0:39:51.120
<v Speaker 1>football more enjoyable for the Yellow Fever fans?

0:39:51.600 --> 0:39:55.960
<v Speaker 5>Absolutely absolutely it does, and you know the hype around

0:39:56.000 --> 0:39:58.560
<v Speaker 5>it and the fandom and the rivalry and all of

0:39:58.560 --> 0:40:01.080
<v Speaker 5>that stuff. Absolutely it does. What happens on the grass,

0:40:01.320 --> 0:40:04.600
<v Speaker 5>there's going to be we hope anyway great, But yeah,

0:40:04.880 --> 0:40:07.360
<v Speaker 5>this is a this is an occasion for the fans,

0:40:07.440 --> 0:40:11.160
<v Speaker 5>I believe, the active support of Auckland FC, the port

0:40:11.400 --> 0:40:14.120
<v Speaker 5>as they're known, and Yellow Fever who are well established

0:40:14.200 --> 0:40:19.839
<v Speaker 5>obviously in New Zealand, you know, fans circles. It'll be

0:40:19.880 --> 0:40:22.319
<v Speaker 5>such a great occasion. I mean the last two or

0:40:22.320 --> 0:40:25.320
<v Speaker 5>the first two games for Auckland FC at Mount Smart

0:40:25.360 --> 0:40:29.360
<v Speaker 5>have been absolutely terrific because of the fans in the steams.

0:40:29.480 --> 0:40:32.120
<v Speaker 5>They've brought the energy and the hype of these occasions

0:40:32.400 --> 0:40:34.120
<v Speaker 5>and that's what they've been and it'll be the same

0:40:34.160 --> 0:40:36.920
<v Speaker 5>tomorrow at Sky Stadium. It'll be exactly the same. We're

0:40:36.960 --> 0:40:40.080
<v Speaker 5>expecting kind of twenty twenty five thousand turn up, so

0:40:40.280 --> 0:40:42.400
<v Speaker 5>big crowd, a lot of color, a lot of noise.

0:40:42.960 --> 0:40:43.960
<v Speaker 5>I think it'll be terrific.

0:40:44.280 --> 0:40:46.680
<v Speaker 4>Now, look, yes, that's all good in theory, pony, but

0:40:47.400 --> 0:40:50.200
<v Speaker 4>let's be honest. The arrival of the Black Knights has

0:40:50.320 --> 0:40:54.319
<v Speaker 4>ruffled some Phoenix feathers, hasn't it. And there's I think

0:40:54.360 --> 0:40:58.040
<v Speaker 4>when you talk to maybe their support staff management, the

0:40:58.080 --> 0:41:01.359
<v Speaker 4>fact they flew a plane over Mount Smart Stadium, say,

0:41:01.440 --> 0:41:05.360
<v Speaker 4>New Zealand is yellow. What's what's really going in at Phoenix?

0:41:05.560 --> 0:41:06.799
<v Speaker 4>Going on at Phoenix HQ.

0:41:07.880 --> 0:41:10.080
<v Speaker 5>I think I think they're embracing it. Look, I think

0:41:10.120 --> 0:41:13.319
<v Speaker 5>they yeah, look, there's that. You don't mind the band

0:41:13.360 --> 0:41:15.399
<v Speaker 5>are going back and forth. It's normally the fans, but yeah,

0:41:15.400 --> 0:41:17.640
<v Speaker 5>it seems as though some of the some of those

0:41:17.719 --> 0:41:21.600
<v Speaker 5>employed in the in the plush mahogany offices the clubs

0:41:21.880 --> 0:41:25.680
<v Speaker 5>have also got involved planes flying over and a bit

0:41:25.719 --> 0:41:28.600
<v Speaker 5>of band to back and forth media releases with I

0:41:28.640 --> 0:41:31.640
<v Speaker 5>think I think David Dome referred to Auckland as or

0:41:31.719 --> 0:41:34.280
<v Speaker 5>to the to Auckland f C as Auckland three point zero,

0:41:35.200 --> 0:41:38.239
<v Speaker 5>you know, obviously referencing the failed New Zealand Knights and

0:41:38.520 --> 0:41:42.359
<v Speaker 5>Football Kings. You know, I think the only ones really

0:41:42.360 --> 0:41:45.239
<v Speaker 5>who seem unaffected by it all of the players, you know,

0:41:45.360 --> 0:41:47.279
<v Speaker 5>you talk to them about it and they're doing their

0:41:47.280 --> 0:41:50.319
<v Speaker 5>best to downplay the occasion. I think they'll relish it.

0:41:50.560 --> 0:41:52.880
<v Speaker 5>They all want to play in big games. This is

0:41:52.880 --> 0:41:56.040
<v Speaker 5>a big game, yes, so I think the players are

0:41:56.120 --> 0:41:58.239
<v Speaker 5>probably the ones who are who are least affected by

0:41:58.280 --> 0:41:59.360
<v Speaker 5>it all. They just want to get out there and

0:41:59.719 --> 0:42:00.560
<v Speaker 5>you played the game.

0:42:00.840 --> 0:42:04.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you're right about Auckland fans just want like the

0:42:04.560 --> 0:42:06.520
<v Speaker 1>three point zero thing. I've talked to a few people

0:42:06.840 --> 0:42:10.200
<v Speaker 1>who missed the Kings and the Nights Days and I

0:42:10.239 --> 0:42:13.560
<v Speaker 1>couldn't I couldn't wrap my head around why there was

0:42:13.560 --> 0:42:15.960
<v Speaker 1>such a big fandom for Auckland f C. Before they

0:42:16.000 --> 0:42:17.840
<v Speaker 1>ever played a game. I couldn't understand it, and I

0:42:17.840 --> 0:42:19.879
<v Speaker 1>think when I went to the game, I realized these

0:42:19.880 --> 0:42:24.240
<v Speaker 1>are just football fans that wanted a local team to support,

0:42:24.320 --> 0:42:28.120
<v Speaker 1>you know. So they already had their songs ready and

0:42:28.120 --> 0:42:30.200
<v Speaker 1>it could have been about anything, but they just wanted

0:42:30.200 --> 0:42:33.480
<v Speaker 1>a football team to get them behind. So I completely

0:42:33.560 --> 0:42:36.239
<v Speaker 1>understand the fandom part of it. But what I don't

0:42:36.320 --> 0:42:39.439
<v Speaker 1>understand is the x's and o's. I see that both

0:42:39.440 --> 0:42:41.520
<v Speaker 1>at the top of the table. Pony, how do you

0:42:41.560 --> 0:42:43.080
<v Speaker 1>see this one playing out on the field.

0:42:43.600 --> 0:42:46.120
<v Speaker 5>I think it'll be pretty tight. You know, Auckland have

0:42:46.200 --> 0:42:49.680
<v Speaker 5>been good. You know, two wins from two games. Can't

0:42:49.680 --> 0:42:51.319
<v Speaker 5>do better than that. Haven't let a goal, and yet

0:42:51.719 --> 0:42:54.920
<v Speaker 5>they haven't. You know, they've been good without being absolutely magnificent.

0:42:55.480 --> 0:42:57.000
<v Speaker 5>You know, I think they'll need a bit more of

0:42:57.040 --> 0:42:59.600
<v Speaker 5>a cutting edge. They're three goals, an own goal, are

0:42:59.640 --> 0:43:02.080
<v Speaker 5>back from a center back in the ninety seventh minute,

0:43:02.160 --> 0:43:05.080
<v Speaker 5>and Logan Rogerson's nice finish. So it's not as though

0:43:05.080 --> 0:43:07.360
<v Speaker 5>they've really shit the world on fire in an attacking sense.

0:43:07.440 --> 0:43:10.080
<v Speaker 5>Wellington are a good defensive team. I've quietly gone about

0:43:10.120 --> 0:43:12.080
<v Speaker 5>their business. They probably should have won their first game

0:43:12.320 --> 0:43:14.440
<v Speaker 5>they won, and Perth last weekend they probably should both

0:43:14.480 --> 0:43:17.440
<v Speaker 5>have two from two. Look, I think you know, often

0:43:17.560 --> 0:43:19.480
<v Speaker 5>with these things, guys, as you know, you hype them up,

0:43:19.480 --> 0:43:20.759
<v Speaker 5>and you hype them up and you say, this's going

0:43:20.840 --> 0:43:22.680
<v Speaker 5>to be a great occasion. I don't think this is

0:43:22.719 --> 0:43:24.400
<v Speaker 5>going to be a four to three. I don't think

0:43:24.440 --> 0:43:26.200
<v Speaker 5>it's going to be goal laden. It might just be

0:43:26.280 --> 0:43:29.480
<v Speaker 5>decided by one moment of brilliance or perhaps an error.

0:43:29.880 --> 0:43:32.719
<v Speaker 5>I think it'll be a pretty cagy affair. But what

0:43:32.719 --> 0:43:35.440
<v Speaker 5>your hope is that is that you know there are

0:43:35.480 --> 0:43:39.080
<v Speaker 5>storylines in the game which live up to what the

0:43:39.120 --> 0:43:42.560
<v Speaker 5>occasion should be. I'm curious to see how Alex Paulson

0:43:42.760 --> 0:43:45.920
<v Speaker 5>handles himself. We all know the story behind Alex Paulson,

0:43:46.040 --> 0:43:49.160
<v Speaker 5>his departure from the Phoenix over the Bournemouth but now

0:43:49.200 --> 0:43:51.719
<v Speaker 5>back to Auckland FC. So the fans that used to

0:43:51.840 --> 0:43:55.239
<v Speaker 5>cheer and revere him will we'll be giving him a

0:43:55.239 --> 0:43:58.680
<v Speaker 5>slightly different kind of reception tomorrow. But yeah, again, as

0:43:58.680 --> 0:44:00.120
<v Speaker 5>I said before, I think these are the game that

0:44:00.239 --> 0:44:04.000
<v Speaker 5>players want to be involved in. Big crowd, big occasion. Yeah,

0:44:04.160 --> 0:44:06.480
<v Speaker 5>I hope it lives up to it, but I get

0:44:06.480 --> 0:44:07.799
<v Speaker 5>to me, it might just be a one nill.

0:44:08.480 --> 0:44:11.960
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, well, Piney, there's two things, two factors I think

0:44:12.040 --> 0:44:14.279
<v Speaker 4>really help. Apart from obviously the home crowd and the

0:44:15.160 --> 0:44:18.360
<v Speaker 4>history that the Phoenix have got. I think their coach

0:44:18.440 --> 0:44:21.239
<v Speaker 4>Chiefy Giancarlo and Taliano. I think he's a bit of

0:44:21.239 --> 0:44:24.440
<v Speaker 4>a genius, that guy. And also they've got the senior

0:44:24.480 --> 0:44:26.960
<v Speaker 4>pro and Costa Barbarusis who's playing with a freedom that

0:44:26.960 --> 0:44:29.040
<v Speaker 4>I've never seen before. I mean he walks out on

0:44:29.080 --> 0:44:32.040
<v Speaker 4>the field with his holding the hands of his daughters.

0:44:32.080 --> 0:44:34.440
<v Speaker 4>I mean there's just how do you compete with that?

0:44:34.440 --> 0:44:36.160
<v Speaker 4>That is just a guy who's like, yeah, it's a

0:44:36.200 --> 0:44:37.960
<v Speaker 4>family day out and by the way, I'm going to

0:44:37.960 --> 0:44:41.799
<v Speaker 4>play football for ninety minutes and then I'll be back

0:44:41.880 --> 0:44:46.280
<v Speaker 4>with you guys. I mean, he to me is pure

0:44:46.719 --> 0:44:47.680
<v Speaker 4>X factor at the moment.

0:44:48.200 --> 0:44:50.520
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, and we're hearing tomorrow that he might be joined

0:44:50.560 --> 0:44:53.600
<v Speaker 5>by Marco Rojas, so we haven't seen yet this season.

0:44:53.719 --> 0:44:57.759
<v Speaker 5>So a rohas barbarosis partnership is something to get the

0:44:57.800 --> 0:45:00.440
<v Speaker 5>fans excited. But you're right about Costa. You know, a

0:45:00.520 --> 0:45:02.160
<v Speaker 5>year or a couple of years ago, there was all this,

0:45:02.239 --> 0:45:04.520
<v Speaker 5>There was a suggestion that you know, he might be

0:45:04.560 --> 0:45:06.600
<v Speaker 5>on the way out, his career was coming to an end,

0:45:06.600 --> 0:45:08.560
<v Speaker 5>and he might just sort of wander off into the

0:45:08.560 --> 0:45:11.600
<v Speaker 5>sunset holding his daughter's hands and not be seen again.

0:45:11.680 --> 0:45:14.120
<v Speaker 5>He's had, you know, something of a renaissance at the

0:45:14.160 --> 0:45:16.240
<v Speaker 5>back end of his career back in the All Whites.

0:45:16.320 --> 0:45:18.280
<v Speaker 5>Now determined to play at the World Cup in twenty

0:45:18.320 --> 0:45:21.920
<v Speaker 5>twenty six, Wellington's best player last season and yeah, a

0:45:22.040 --> 0:45:25.399
<v Speaker 5>real X factor guy. So yeah, Costa will be well

0:45:25.440 --> 0:45:26.800
<v Speaker 5>and truly up of this one. And you wonder that

0:45:26.880 --> 0:45:28.200
<v Speaker 5>to you whether you know the fact he's got so

0:45:28.280 --> 0:45:30.399
<v Speaker 5>much else going on in his life. There's a couple

0:45:30.440 --> 0:45:32.440
<v Speaker 5>of young daughters who don't care about the result really,

0:45:32.680 --> 0:45:34.080
<v Speaker 5>they just want to hold their dad team and they

0:45:34.080 --> 0:45:35.960
<v Speaker 5>walk out. You wonder whether the balance he's got in

0:45:35.960 --> 0:45:38.840
<v Speaker 5>his life has actually been very positive for US football.

0:45:39.239 --> 0:45:42.040
<v Speaker 1>If you were a betting man, Pony, how would you

0:45:42.120 --> 0:45:43.279
<v Speaker 1>view this weekend's game?

0:45:44.000 --> 0:45:46.240
<v Speaker 5>I think Wellington will win it narrowly. I think Wellington

0:45:46.280 --> 0:45:47.120
<v Speaker 5>will win it one nil.

0:45:47.440 --> 0:45:50.960
<v Speaker 4>Okay, oh, okay, pony, we're going to should we do

0:45:51.000 --> 0:45:52.960
<v Speaker 4>a pony bitch a bit a pony hatch?

0:45:53.040 --> 0:45:55.319
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Poney hunts you out on one that it's good.

0:45:55.400 --> 0:45:57.759
<v Speaker 1>We'll see if there's some spear change floating around in

0:45:57.800 --> 0:45:59.400
<v Speaker 1>the ac z t air.

0:45:59.200 --> 0:46:00.720
<v Speaker 3>Be account brilliant.

0:46:00.719 --> 0:46:03.120
<v Speaker 1>Thank you very much for your time this morning, party

0:46:03.160 --> 0:46:04.720
