Speaker 1: Life from the Export Beer Gaden Studio and brought to you,
Speaker 1: as always by Export Ultra. This is the Agenda Podcast
Speaker 1: for Friday, the sixth of September.
Speaker 2: The Agenda Podcast, the home of sporting nonsense and clap Trap,
Speaker 2: brought to you by Export of Ultra.
Speaker 3: Good morning, Lane Moning, Happy Friday. Great.
Speaker 4: Great to be a Friday, isn't it? Although I don't
Speaker 4: know Fridays.
Speaker 1: These days haven't really been feeling like a Friday because
Speaker 1: I feel like when you commentate over the weekend, it's
Speaker 1: just sort of all blurs into one.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we've got nothing.
Speaker 4: This is the first Friday where we don't have any commentaries.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so the All Blacks are playing at stupid o'clock
Speaker 1: in the morning.
Speaker 4: It's a scheduling issue.
Speaker 3: And do you know what's gonna happen. I'm gonna score
Speaker 3: a massive on goal at some stage during the weekend
Speaker 3: and go and get a massive your Hammond. And it's
Speaker 3: been half a day or full day in the dog
Speaker 3: box and hungover.
Speaker 1: Yes, Oh, actually we should addressed this. We talked about
Speaker 1: it on the podcast yesterday with Matt hethan you weren't here.
Speaker 1: We did mention that we had received a one thirty am.
Speaker 1: Things have gone pear shaped text are you allowed to
Speaker 1: share anything with us?
Speaker 3: And yeah. After the Marketing Awards on Wednesday night, there
Speaker 3: was just there was a lot of confusion around kick
Speaker 3: ons and where we went for kick ons, and at
Speaker 3: one stage a person who shall remain nameless from the
Speaker 3: communications team here it wide zied me company, Yes, rang me,
Speaker 3: and it was a tirade of abuse about why they
Speaker 3: couldn't get into the bar that we were in. Yes,
Speaker 3: And disappointingly one of them was yelling at the bouncer.
Speaker 3: Mike Lane said we can come in, let us in,
Speaker 3: and so it was again a bit awkward.
Speaker 4: And then here's a tip, never tell a bounce of
Speaker 4: Mike Lane.
Speaker 3: I said that. I said, that's the worst thing you
Speaker 3: can do. Don't do that. No, there was a lot
Speaker 3: of confusion about kick ons and getting to places. We
Speaker 3: went to a couple of underground whisky bars and getting
Speaker 3: to them was quite hard, and then when we got
Speaker 3: on there, they said you're the last people. One more
Speaker 3: drink and then we're closing. And then we had a
Speaker 3: whole group of other people outside just kind of calling
Speaker 3: and yelling at us and sending us abusive text messages
Speaker 3: and then demanding to speak to other people. And it
Speaker 3: was just it just just me pear shaped. And that
Speaker 3: was two in the morning. I was trying to find
Speaker 3: a dive bar to drink it. At two in the
Speaker 3: morning on a Wednesday. On a Wednesday, nothing good happens,
Speaker 3: like when someone just say it's midnight, go home.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you guys did.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I was tucked up in bid by eleven o'clock. And
Speaker 1: when I woke up the next morning and saw that text,
Speaker 1: I was just like, yep, right, decision, we were saying.
Speaker 1: So my understanding was that there was like two spots
Speaker 1: left in that bar and they let you and one other.
Speaker 1: And yes, And I saw that person yesterday morning. He
Speaker 1: looked like a lizard.
Speaker 3: Oh my god. He yeah, he was not well used.
Speaker 1: To and we're like, so you've only got two spots left,
Speaker 1: and these are the two people.
Speaker 3: Well, they knew there was some money makers.
Speaker 4: That's why.
Speaker 3: I mean, we might have been the biggest lizards, but
Speaker 3: they could see that these lizards drink.
Speaker 1: That's right, We're going to be able to ring the
Speaker 1: towel drive on these guys. So yeah, but.
Speaker 4: Moving very slowly. A lot of people around the office yesterday.
Speaker 3: But yeah, it was a struggle, was yesterday was a struggle,
Speaker 3: but you know it was for all for good cause.
Speaker 3: We spent the night with our great friends from Dby
Speaker 3: Export Ultra and that was great. And I did particularly
Speaker 3: enjoy being forced to drink the opposition's products. Yes, and
Speaker 3: you created some sort of death wall.
Speaker 4: Of death death cloth. Well, we just we just didn't
Speaker 4: want to have.
Speaker 1: We didn't want the competitors product piling up in front
Speaker 1: of them.
Speaker 4: We're like, they don't need to look at this.
Speaker 1: And so Joe took his little napkin, you know, the
Speaker 1: black napkin, black napkin, and.
Speaker 4: Just put it over the top of it.
Speaker 3: So it was like a dead body in the middle
Speaker 3: of the table, and it was made up of like
Speaker 3: two dozen bottles.
Speaker 1: Yes, he closed its eyes and then pulled the blanket
Speaker 1: up over it.
Speaker 4: They quite like that. I think they really did like it.
Speaker 3: And they said, that is probably the most respectful thing
Speaker 3: you guys have ever done for us.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we immediately turned it into a loss by aggressively
Speaker 1: shouting down anyone that beat explore at any award.
Speaker 4: That's that's patriotism, you know. Yeah, well it was. It's
Speaker 4: the marketing awards.
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't. We don't go to many awards
Speaker 3: for that very reason. This one was sponsored by YouTube
Speaker 3: and which we're now on. Of course, we're on on YouTube,
Speaker 3: and shout out to YouTube. If you could switch our
Speaker 3: pipe on a little bit bigger, it'd be great. Yeah, you
Speaker 3: can kind of tell that they control the pipe with
Speaker 3: who they partner at.
Speaker 1: There are a few people there who weren't up for
Speaker 1: awards but were invited by YouTube.
Speaker 4: And yeah, oh that's why. That's why they get so
Speaker 4: many views, because they go in despite the fact that
Speaker 4: their audience is too old to actually operate YouTube.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but tell you what, they flopped it out, can I.
Speaker 1: Just to be clear, the reason no one watches our
Speaker 1: podcast on YouTube is because it's ship, not because we
Speaker 1: haven't had the pipe, want to be clear.
Speaker 4: But they flopped it out YouTube.
Speaker 3: Holy moly. The after party basically they opened up the
Speaker 3: rest of Sparker Arena and had Symphony play for an
Speaker 3: hour and a half hour.
Speaker 4: And a half yes, full noise, and they.
Speaker 3: Finished it with Sandstorm, which is compulsory obviously, and then
Speaker 3: just basically let loose one thousand marketers and agencies onto
Speaker 3: the streets. Of Auckland on Wednesday night.
Speaker 1: Well, I walked out of there and all of the
Speaker 1: taxis had congregated around. They're trying to get everyone into
Speaker 1: their taxi. I was looking at them, like, everyone that's
Speaker 1: about to walk out of this business has a company
Speaker 1: Uber account. Yeah, you're not going to get a taxi
Speaker 1: right out of here.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I think they rely on the one and twenty
Speaker 3: who's so fucking wasted. They just get into the net
Speaker 3: whatever they can. Yeah, right, that's what they rely on.
Speaker 3: And then it costs you eighty dollars to go like
Speaker 3: four kilometers.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's brutal.
Speaker 1: But anyway, Friday, we're all back on track. Later on
Speaker 1: today we have the sports book out. We'll be joining
Speaker 1: us for that. But we are down to the point end.
Speaker 1: The greatest New Zealander of all time debate has come
Speaker 1: down to the Grand Final and it is Edmund Hillary
Speaker 1: versus Sir Charlie Upham.
Speaker 3: He picked that from the start, didn't you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just thought I didn't realize how big a
Speaker 1: groundswell there was going to be for childs up I.
Speaker 1: Actually he has gone from strength to strength, and so
Speaker 1: we're going to let this thing cook over the weekend,
Speaker 1: give you every opportunity, because what we don't want is
Speaker 1: to announce the winner and then people say I didn't
Speaker 1: get my chance to vote.
Speaker 4: We got your chance.
Speaker 3: And look, it's pretty fair. Both of them can't campaign
Speaker 3: both past, so you know it's an even playing field
Speaker 3: because potentially if it was say Edmund Hillary versus Richie
Speaker 3: mccare on, one tweet, one post from Richie mccaugh could
Speaker 3: swing it, whereas this is level playing field.
Speaker 4: That's right.
Speaker 1: Also, fun fact about New Zealand law, you cannot defame
Speaker 1: the dead, so anything you want to say about either
Speaker 1: of them on social media you can.
Speaker 4: I'm not encouraging, not.
Speaker 3: In the spirit of the greatest New Zealander though, that's.
Speaker 1: Not But I am trying to so discontent among the population.
Speaker 1: Don't just get in the comments with your support of
Speaker 1: one guy.
Speaker 3: Attack the other can attack the other. Yeah, we got
Speaker 3: a character assassinate.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's right. You want to bring them, drag them
Speaker 4: through the mut Yeah, cancel them.
Speaker 1: So you've got an entire weekend to cast your votes,
Speaker 1: and at the moment, very close. It's sort of like
Speaker 1: fifty fifty at the moment, so I don't know which
Speaker 1: way that one's going to go. My guts is Charles
Speaker 1: up sort of thought he was going to win that
Speaker 1: from the get go.
Speaker 3: I don't know. I mean, the thing is with Suid
Speaker 3: is that he is more everything to all people as
Speaker 3: opposed to you might not be a fan of military
Speaker 3: campaigns or of that kind of side of humanity, you
Speaker 3: know what I mean. So that's why I think it'll
Speaker 3: leave it up really patriotic Charles Upham fans, and then
Speaker 3: you'll have the kind of you know, the Sir Edmundhillary
Speaker 3: climbing mountain, bee keeping great bee keeper, Ye get voted
Speaker 3: up the Ganges, all that kind of carry on.
Speaker 1: As a vote for you know, we talked at the
Speaker 1: start of this whole thing that a vote for Jason
Speaker 1: Gunner's a vote for thinging, is a vote for Sir
Speaker 1: Edmund Hillary a vote for Tensig Norge.
Speaker 4: Do you see it that way?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 4: Okay, so no love for Tensi.
Speaker 3: He's not a Newsyander anyway.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So that is up right now, Facebook, Instagram, go
Speaker 1: and have your say. The votes have been different on
Speaker 1: all platforms, so it's entirely up to you, and by
Speaker 1: the way, rigged if you want, if you want to
Speaker 1: vote multiple times on multiple platforms icking go for it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, if you want to check it into the ration
Speaker 3: algorithm and fucking go for it.
Speaker 1: Get a bot farm going. All right, let's take quick break.
Speaker 1: We'll come back and talk some sport raiser yesterday named
Speaker 1: his team annoyingly after we recorded the podcast. We didn't
Speaker 1: get a chance to talk about it. But wholesale changes, yes.
Speaker 3: Very interesting, very interesting changes.
Speaker 1: I thought, it's on the back of your we rundown
Speaker 1: if you need a refresher, but basically the back three
Speaker 1: is entirely different. Yes, so we've got Will Jordan's, Sevy
Speaker 1: Reese and Mark Salina. I think Cale Clark was injured.
Speaker 4: Yes, see this is the butt.
Speaker 3: There is one change there with Talia coming in for him,
Speaker 3: but yes, being obviously Will Jordan goes to the which
Speaker 3: opens it up for Severed Peace to come in body
Speaker 3: back on the bench with TJ Pittanada. Yeah, and obviously,
Speaker 3: and I came out and said obviously, just to shore
Speaker 3: up the last twenty minutes with some leadership and experience,
Speaker 3: which seems like a bit of a knee.
Speaker 4: Jerk reaction to me, doesn't it.
Speaker 3: It's kind of I don't know if I agree with it.
Speaker 3: It's kind of at least I've come out and see
Speaker 3: it's exactly what they're doing it. I mean, you've got
Speaker 3: Body with over one hundred caps, you've got TJ. Peranada
Speaker 3: with eighty odd.
Speaker 1: And if you think back to the English series, it
Speaker 1: was when Body came on that last twenty minutes that
Speaker 1: the game's completely changed.
Speaker 4: Complexion hell of an impact player.
Speaker 3: And also you got doughbro on the bench as well,
Speaker 3: Anton Brown and Pintinada. So between those three, I think
Speaker 3: it is a knee jerk to that last ten minutes.
Speaker 3: But big cool though for Wall aside today years it's cool.
Speaker 3: So he's debuting and this is his first start for
Speaker 3: the All Blacks, right at six, and he's at six.
Speaker 3: My only thing I would say about that is that
Speaker 3: basically loose forwards, you could play whoever you want to do,
Speaker 3: Like you could play Richiem Wong and you could play
Speaker 3: whoever you know.
Speaker 4: You can play whoever whatever position you want. It really
Speaker 4: doesn't matter. It's nominal.
Speaker 1: What you need, though, is the roles, and the role
Speaker 1: of the six is is a cleaner. He's a tackler,
Speaker 1: he's a big beer who fucks people up. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: we've got two of those already. You know, Scott Barrett
Speaker 1: has played six to bo has played six as well,
Speaker 1: So it's not like there's this massive.
Speaker 4: Responsibility to be the only starting six.
Speaker 3: And Summer Penny female as well as he is. He injured.
Speaker 1: I do wonder because Karma was saying he didn't appreciate
Speaker 1: the penalties that female gave away the lass, you know,
Speaker 1: so I wonder if maybe Razors looked at that as
Speaker 1: well and said, you're a little bit of a liability.
Speaker 4: Go I think about it. Can they come back? It's
Speaker 4: a big call for Satiti.
Speaker 3: I mean, I love him, I like him. Yeah, he's
Speaker 3: a chiefs Maunner fan, chiefs man all the way, but
Speaker 3: he's South Africa. Yeah, that's going to be a big
Speaker 3: challenge and I'm I hope he steps up. But good
Speaker 3: to see sneakers start. I think that's a good idea.
Speaker 4: I think that's good too. I just wonder, like, is
Speaker 4: it too reactionary to what Resi's doing, you know what
Speaker 4: the bomb squad thing?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 4: Is it sort of are.
Speaker 1: You rolling over and showing your belly a little bit
Speaker 1: to be like, okay, we'll do it too. And then
Speaker 1: even then doing a not quite doing it the same
Speaker 1: because we've still got three backs on the bench. Yeah,
Speaker 1: last week we carried a winger on the bench, which
Speaker 1: I don't really understand.
Speaker 4: The point of that.
Speaker 1: If we're going to allow eight reserves, I mean didn't
Speaker 1: in the World Cup last year South Africa go seven
Speaker 1: and one on their bench and now they've been doing
Speaker 1: six and two.
Speaker 4: Is it time that we start doing that? It's only
Speaker 4: one more away, isn't it.
Speaker 3: Who would you have though, you'd probably you'd say that
Speaker 3: it would.
Speaker 4: Probably be Leonnet Brown, wouldn't It would be because everyone
Speaker 4: can cover all the other position.
Speaker 1: I mean, if it was me, I would have him
Speaker 1: starting and then I would have another back, another forward
Speaker 1: on the bench.
Speaker 4: But again that's why I'm not coaching the All Blacks.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I don't know how now that you've seen
Speaker 1: the team named, actually before I get you prediction that
Speaker 1: there's been wholesale changes on the other side as well.
Speaker 4: I don't know if you've seen this.
Speaker 1: No, Villi Laroux and Andre Pollard are back for South Africa.
Speaker 1: They have changed their winger out as well, and lukanno Am,
Speaker 1: who was the World Player of the Year like two
Speaker 1: years ago. He's back on the bench as well, so
Speaker 1: wholesale changes from Razi as well. Do you think does
Speaker 1: that change your opinion on how this one's going to go.
Speaker 3: I always said that if we lose this first one,
Speaker 3: we win the second one. And I'm even more convincedly, well,
Speaker 3: given we should have won that first one, they'll take
Speaker 3: confidence out of that and say we should have won
Speaker 3: that one. We're going to sort out the issues there.
Speaker 3: We come off the high Velt. We're in Cape Town,
Speaker 3: surrounded by vineyards. It's more there too, dang and playing,
Speaker 3: so they'll and not off the Highvelt, so the kicking,
Speaker 3: kind of long distance kicking goes out of play as well.
Speaker 3: I think they're gonna win. I think they'll win by
Speaker 3: one to twelve. Yeah, I have my hunch with Hadaki.
Speaker 3: Was Peace to be the first, second or third triscore
Speaker 3: paying four forty?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 3: I thought it was quite good.
Speaker 4: Sev Reese is an exact kind of player we were
Speaker 4: missing last week. Reckon the Furnisher, Yeah, find the line.
Speaker 1: Yeah, those two dudes that they had, the Orenzi and
Speaker 1: Colby carving us up. How about Colby bumping off Scott
Speaker 1: Barrett a little bit of an optical illusion, but he
Speaker 1: still did bump them. But yeah, I felt like we missed,
Speaker 1: we were missing one of those dudes ourselves, and we
Speaker 1: got one.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well we got to really because I find Princess
Speaker 3: Tally and Sevie Rees very similar players. They're very strong
Speaker 3: on their feet, Yeah, you know they they their kind
Speaker 3: of horizontal movement is very quick. Yeah you know what
Speaker 3: I mean. And they beat players they shouldn't beating.
Speaker 4: Yeah, definitely.
Speaker 1: And Marx Lea looks like he drinks a gallon of
Speaker 1: canola oil before he goes out there because he's so
Speaker 1: slippery and I could get their hands on him. So
Speaker 1: what is he wearing a tighter shirt than anyone else?
Speaker 1: I don't really know what thincause I agree with you.
Speaker 1: Yesterday we put our agenda hunch on all Blacks to
Speaker 1: win hit hits two dollars thirty five.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Anytime you can get the all Blacks two dollars thirty
Speaker 4: five is good eating.
Speaker 3: Yep, I agree.
Speaker 4: So we're going to pile on on that one. I
Speaker 4: reckon speaking on the rugby though.
Speaker 3: There's also a big Shield Challenge happening this weekend. Oh
Speaker 3: Hawks Bay are hosting Tasman. Wow, and Tasman are the
Speaker 3: favorites by not of a considerable margin to paying one
Speaker 3: to seventy to Hawks Bays two dollars. Right, So that's
Speaker 3: probably the first serious Ramfley Shield noise we've heard, and
Speaker 3: you know, in about a year. Yeah, so that's happening
Speaker 3: this weekend. So that's probably going to be the biggest
Speaker 3: kind of non international game to look out for.
Speaker 4: Yeah, for sure, NBC rages on.
Speaker 1: I think this is good for South Canterbury because if
Speaker 1: Tasman win it, at least we know we can get
Speaker 1: a team there.
Speaker 4: Yeah, in the bus on a bus to challenge for it.
Speaker 4: So I'm all more than on the Marco there, Okay,
Speaker 4: there you go. I might actually check that at my
Speaker 4: hunch my three way later on.
Speaker 3: The Marco won seventy.
Speaker 4: Oh it's too low, yeah, because he has paying a
Speaker 4: home paying two dollars.
Speaker 1: But you know you're not going to trick me into that.
Speaker 1: It's become very competitive now on the old if you
Speaker 1: don't listen to the sports book with the TB, we
Speaker 1: have a three league bit each week, myself, Lane and
Speaker 1: Carl from the TB and who ever loses the most
Speaker 1: by the end of the years to carry the bags
Speaker 1: for golf comp round of golf and I what was
Speaker 1: I like three behind you? Yeah, well I'm now two
Speaker 1: behind you because I one came in over the weekend.
Speaker 1: So there's been a bit of campaigning to get each
Speaker 1: other to do dumb bets, try and dog each other
Speaker 1: into stupid bets in the office.
Speaker 4: One of them will come off. We have an NRL.
Speaker 1: Off field scandal, Yes, Lane, we're in the alarm. North
Speaker 1: Queensland assistant coach James Maloney has been sacked by the
Speaker 1: club after being charged with drink driving and a blow
Speaker 1: to the Cowboys on the cusp of the NRL Finals
Speaker 1: to thirty eight year old who you will remember from
Speaker 1: the Warriors Grand Final run in twenty eleven. He joined
Speaker 1: the club this season, the Cowboys, that is, after finishing
Speaker 1: his playing in France where he got banned for stewoids
Speaker 1: in a two French league. He then showed up in
Speaker 1: the changing rooms that the Cowboys as an assistant coach
Speaker 1: with a full on ponytail and he's now been done
Speaker 1: for UI.
Speaker 4: Is this the most rugby league thing of all time?
Speaker 1: A player getting involved in an off field scandal when
Speaker 1: he's not even a player anymore.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's I mean, is it a secable offense to
Speaker 3: get done drunk driving?
Speaker 4: Well, if you need your license, like if you're a courier, yes,
Speaker 4: have you a truck driver, a truck driver, Yeah, even
Speaker 4: a forklift driver will probably argue.
Speaker 3: And I'm not condoning drink driving at all. But then
Speaker 3: this must be the final straw.
Speaker 4: There must be other shit because well, particularly on the
Speaker 4: eve of finals.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there is a number of people who have been
Speaker 3: done do UI who keep their jobs. In fact, the
Speaker 3: majority of people like except like you say, people involved driving.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and even then some of them get a license
Speaker 4: to use them they get the interlock.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, so he's done something else. This is some
Speaker 3: This is probably the third discipline issues and a right,
Speaker 3: that's it, you're out of here.
Speaker 4: First was the ponytail.
Speaker 1: They would have dragged them into the office and just
Speaker 1: been like we can this is this is struck one.
Speaker 1: You've got two more. There'll be another one that we'll
Speaker 1: never hear about whitewash investigations. Yeah, and then this one
Speaker 1: would have that'll be like look, bargaret, But yeah, I
Speaker 1: agree with you. I didn't think that would have been
Speaker 1: the second thing, has the game gone soft?
Speaker 4: Absolutely? Absolutely, he's gone gone soft. It is a Thursday night.
Speaker 4: We are it's a Friday Yesterday.
Speaker 1: We usually do the Mad Monday Teamless podcast, but obviously
Speaker 1: whereas don't have a Teamless for the remainder of this season,
Speaker 1: so no Mad Monday podcast yesterday.
Speaker 4: However, we still do have a bit to put.
Speaker 1: On, and there is I would like to draw your
Speaker 1: attention to a game that's going on tonight and it's
Speaker 1: sold out a week in advance, and it is the
Speaker 1: Tigers versus the Eels for the wooden spoon. The loser
Speaker 1: of this game receives the wooden spoons. The first time
Speaker 1: in years that we've had a spoon bowl. How exciting
Speaker 1: is a spoon bowl?
Speaker 3: I love effect it's called a spoon bowl.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's at Campbell Town's. It's a home match for
Speaker 4: the Tigers, who sucked their fullbacks out.
Speaker 1: Obviously they're sucked in the fucking spoon bowl. But what
Speaker 1: how do you reckon you gamble on a spoon bowl.
Speaker 1: There's probably a question for Carl later on at the TIRB.
Speaker 1: But I was talking to someone out in the office
Speaker 1: about it and he was like, it's going to be
Speaker 1: bit the overs.
Speaker 4: It's going to be a high scoring game. I was like, no,
Speaker 4: I think both teams don't want to lose as opposed
Speaker 4: to wanting to win.
Speaker 1: There's nothing to win. There is everything to lose because
Speaker 1: the loser gets the spoon. So I'm kind of thinking,
Speaker 1: do you go unders.
Speaker 4: I don't know, won't it be a real negative game?
Speaker 3: No, I think they're both. I don't think it'll be
Speaker 3: negative because I think they probably both got teams who
Speaker 3: have got quite weak defense. Oh definitely, So I think
Speaker 3: for that very reason, I don't think they'd be capable
Speaker 3: of shutting it down.
Speaker 4: If they could shut it down, they wouldn't been the
Speaker 4: Spoon Bowl.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that is a very very good point anyway, for
Speaker 1: the hunch, I was looking through the power play on
Speaker 1: there at the moment micas Cibo, who has come back
Speaker 1: into the squad after injury.
Speaker 4: And bad form.
Speaker 1: He's come back in and he is rollicking at the moment,
Speaker 1: So I've gone him anytime. Try scorer and the Eels
Speaker 1: one to twelve. I do think it'll be tight when
Speaker 1: you when you're fighting.
Speaker 4: For the spoon.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's at five dollars, which I think is
Speaker 1: very juicy. Mica as Sievo, I think is the shortest
Speaker 1: try scoring odds in the NRL this weekend at about a.
Speaker 4: Dollar thirty six. So the TV is saying he's gone
Speaker 4: to score a try.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just when you sprinkle a little Eels one
Speaker 1: to twelve action on top of that, and I think
Speaker 1: the Eels will win.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, so it's your Mad Monday hunch. Yeah, speaking
Speaker 3: of Mad mondays, any any.
Speaker 4: Whispers, I haven't. I haven't now.
Speaker 3: Most teams Mad Monday's. Oh this coming Monday, isn't it?
Speaker 3: Because yes, Warriors of a Bye, Yes, this weekend, so
Speaker 3: technically the season finished that so their Mad Monday was
Speaker 3: last Monday? Yes, or they'll have it? Will they have
Speaker 3: a traditional one with the rest of the teams this Monday?
Speaker 4: Half the teams, Well, their prize giving is on Sunday,
Speaker 4: So would it be the Monday after that? Do you reckon?
Speaker 1: No, because you can't. You can't keep thirty dudes who
Speaker 1: have been hanging out for a big blowout yea, waiting
Speaker 1: for over a week.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're a difficult the age.
Speaker 4: Will it will have happened?
Speaker 1: I reckon, I haven't heard anything, so They've done a
Speaker 1: great job of shutting it down to the degree that
Speaker 1: my only inside source Taylor Montour, wife of Marcelo Montour
Speaker 1: and star of the Montours podcast. She actually finished up
Speaker 1: working with us the week that their last game was.
Speaker 1: I can't even ask her what's going on? So I
Speaker 1: wonder if that was technical from the Warriors.
Speaker 3: Yeah, just basically isolate all third parties from media. Yeah, like,
Speaker 3: good on them. I mean, there's obviously key learnings from
Speaker 3: the year's gone by around how to keep these things quiet.
Speaker 1: I have heard, and I don't know if this was
Speaker 1: the Warriors, but I have heard about a team and
Speaker 1: I know I've told this story before, but that on
Speaker 1: their Mad Monday, they had a fleet of taxi vans
Speaker 1: waiting out the front, and the taxi each driver had
Speaker 1: a full teamless the photo of the guy, their name,
Speaker 1: their next of kin, and their address, so that when
Speaker 1: the person got put in the back of their van,
Speaker 1: they don't even have to talk to them. They're just like, yep,
Speaker 1: this guy, this is where he lives, this is who
Speaker 1: the ring to say, we've got your your mate coming
Speaker 1: home here.
Speaker 4: So yeah, they definitely it's become an art.
Speaker 1: But the thing that annoys me is and I remember
Speaker 1: Joe John's talking about this was like in the early
Speaker 1: two thousands when they had their med Monday, they'd just
Speaker 1: be like in the pub, down the pub, down the viaduct, down, yeah,
Speaker 1: wherever it is that their team was based, and people
Speaker 1: would get involved as well that in the past with
Speaker 1: them and join them and blah blah blah. But now
Speaker 1: so everyone's filming everything on their phones and that, so
Speaker 1: now they can't do it, and it's like, wouldn't you
Speaker 1: rather they were out, you know, wouldn't you rather the
Speaker 1: Warriors just down the viaduct on their med Monday.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm back back in those early two thousands. I
Speaker 3: did bump into the Warriors at Fox's Alehouse. Yeah, and
Speaker 3: it was when Stacey Jones's dressed like Biggles.
Speaker 5: O.
Speaker 4: When Gouten Bill hat his pubes on fire. It was
Speaker 4: great stuff.
Speaker 3: And I was just down there having a drink with
Speaker 3: a mate and they just all came into the bar
Speaker 3: and they were lighting pubes. I like my pubes on fire.
Speaker 3: It was great. No one had phones.
Speaker 4: Out and everyone had pubes.
Speaker 3: There was no pubs way into the night.
Speaker 4: Powerful Yeah, bring it back.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I didn't live it. And the case in point
Speaker 3: is that we're trying to fight streets.
Speaker 4: Yes on Wednesday, that videos just sort of surface.
Speaker 1: That's throwing the rounds on social media at the moment,
Speaker 1: and he posted on social and so it's ridiculous that
Speaker 1: I can't even you know, go down and get a
Speaker 1: pie after training about Yeah, but it's I've always found
Speaker 1: it interesting because it's like you don't go up to
Speaker 1: a basketball player and try and dunk on them in
Speaker 1: the streets, like you don't go up to a rugby
Speaker 1: player and try and tackle them. Why is it that
Speaker 1: when a guy fights for a living, people just want to.
Speaker 3: You know, it's it's combat. It's like, no, I mean
Speaker 3: with the guy who's taking him on, he looks like
Speaker 3: he's been on the back end of the glass barbecue
Speaker 3: for a while. He just like he's shorter than him. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it doesn't look.
Speaker 4: Like he's march.
Speaker 1: And there's no win there for Israel to say, because
Speaker 1: what he sparks his dude out and then what you
Speaker 1: knocked some random dude out, you know, like he would
Speaker 1: have got trash in the media for doing that.
Speaker 4: Car though, fucking sick car. Matt Black McLaren.
Speaker 3: Massive fucking deck shrinker for that guy though. When he
Speaker 3: opens the door and it's like the straight up up
Speaker 3: and it went straight up, and it's like fucking get
Speaker 3: back in your fucking that's.
Speaker 4: What he said. Get back in your busted piece of ship. Yeah,
Speaker 4: and I'll get in mind.
Speaker 3: Yeah, get back into your car with no hubcaps, the
Speaker 3: fucking windows up and smoking the glass barbie, And I'm
Speaker 3: gonna get in my eight hundred thousand dollar McLaren. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and I'm gonna go.
Speaker 1: Yeah, which I got for beating people up, by the way,
Speaker 1: you fucking idiot at.
Speaker 4: That kind of I don't know, I felt I was embarrassed.
Speaker 4: I was embarrassed too.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was cringey because what's the best case scenario
Speaker 1: and that dude's head, like he gets out and knocks
Speaker 1: out Israel Asni and people are worked. Man, Oh you
Speaker 1: knocked out a dude who was just going to get
Speaker 1: a pie, fucking nice one like I don't understand. And
Speaker 1: fighters always say, oh, look, if you want to, we
Speaker 1: can fight in the ring.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he is what the UFC pay me you match that,
Speaker 4: I'll fight you.
Speaker 3: Well, he did say in the video. He goes, I
Speaker 3: will pay you to fight me. He shit, he should
Speaker 3: get that guy down to whip Brown. Put it. Give
Speaker 3: a little together, let's get a pot together and let
Speaker 3: Israel beat the snot out of this guy in the ring.
Speaker 1: Ye, and we'll let the TB take our money on
Speaker 1: it as well. All right, let's take a quick break
Speaker 1: when we come back. But the yours please for a Friday, yours.
Speaker 2: Please, brought you by Leader Home of the Top.
Speaker 1: We have a couple of them to get through today
Speaker 1: late because call yours please.
Speaker 4: God.
Speaker 6: Those Warriors bar is an actual great idea. It's for
Speaker 6: all the Bandwagon supporters who are going to be stuck
Speaker 6: at the Blues game. And when the Blues finished about
Speaker 6: nine o'clock and the Wars are playing overseas, you stroll
Speaker 6: over to Kingsland watch the Warriors. You can't get to
Speaker 6: a sold out Mount Smart you watch it there. Let's
Speaker 6: just for all the fancy pency to watch it from
Speaker 6: the comfort of not industrial Central Central.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I think you mentioned this when they first bought it.
Speaker 3: But you know, some person are like, oh, that's not
Speaker 3: a true supporters, But no, it's not. It's probably a
Speaker 3: bar that wants to make money.
Speaker 4: Oh, yes, you know what. I mean, that's a good point.
Speaker 4: We're looking at it the wrong way.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it's not a supporters bar. This is a
Speaker 3: bar set up on the back of Warriors' success. The
Speaker 3: pen noise Matt Heath lives around there for an example,
Speaker 3: and you know, and when the Warriors are playing, they don't.
Speaker 4: Want to go to go hard Mount Smart. Ye, go hard.
Speaker 3: They can just go down there and watch it. But
Speaker 3: I mean, that's a.
Speaker 4: Really good point you raised there. We're looking at it
Speaker 4: the wrong way.
Speaker 1: We're looking at it as we've been told that the
Speaker 1: Warriors have bought a bar, but actually it was a
Speaker 1: bar that wanted to rebrand.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we're like, who's real hot right now? Yeah, the
Speaker 4: Warriors here.
Speaker 1: But I thought I really liked that caller's point because
Speaker 1: it was like if you yeah, I was trying to
Speaker 1: figure out who goes there, because you can't go there
Speaker 1: after Mount Smart, you can't get no, no.
Speaker 3: You go there for I see you target away games
Speaker 3: as a base. But then again, you're looking at the
Speaker 3: hardcore supporters of the Warriors aren't living in Kingsland or
Speaker 3: Mountain at all, so you're not targeting them.
Speaker 1: No, you bear in mind Mount Eden are the community
Speaker 1: that banned concerts at Eden Park because they were too
Speaker 1: loud and they all wanted to go to sleep YEP.
Speaker 4: These are not the Warriors faithful living around there.
Speaker 3: Yeah so, and I guess yeah afters at a Blues game,
Speaker 3: But then again, about two thousand people go to Blue.
Speaker 4: It was the other thing I was going to say, like,
Speaker 4: have you watched a Blues game this year?
Speaker 1: They probably wouldn't fill out the pub, But I am.
Speaker 3: I am all down for a decent sports bar. It's
Speaker 3: particularly in Auckland. Shapiro's is cool, but it's just a
Speaker 3: bit too small. You can only get about one hundred
Speaker 3: and fifty people in it. Good sports bar where you
Speaker 3: can get, you know, three hundred people, get a real
Speaker 3: good atmosphere, just geared towards sport, not a half ass
Speaker 3: effort which is half a strop ub, half sports bar.
Speaker 3: Doesn't play commentary, plays the music. Looking at you, Empire,
Speaker 3: you got screens everywhere and never played the fucking commentary
Speaker 3: when we asked you too. When it's full of Warriors
Speaker 3: fansy City don't know how TOEP fuck.
Speaker 4: I love that. Let the bars tell you they don't
Speaker 4: know how to change.
Speaker 3: It's like, why are you playing prodigy? Everyone's here to
Speaker 3: watch the Warriors, and I actually it was funny. I
Speaker 3: got up on the table when I went everyone who's
Speaker 3: here to watch the Warriors and pretty much everyone put
Speaker 3: the hand up and I said said to the barman,
Speaker 3: ah moment you didn't appreciate it.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I can't remember the last like decent sports bar I've
Speaker 1: been to in New Zealand. There's obviously the locals that
Speaker 1: have the taarbs and they play the horses, but that's
Speaker 1: not it's not a sports a sports bar like it's
Speaker 1: you know, the best one I've ever been to was
Speaker 1: pre earthquake, Holy Grail, Yes in christ shirts.
Speaker 4: That was sick. Yeah, Like they had a.
Speaker 3: Big grandstand, big enough theory to have a bit of
Speaker 3: interactive ship in the air.
Speaker 4: It was a movie theater turned into a bar, right yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 3: So anyway, I mean, it will get there eventually, but
Speaker 3: I'm glad that they are.
Speaker 4: I hope that fuck it up. It's all we could
Speaker 4: all be wrong.
Speaker 1: And maybe the full time bar owned by the Warriors
Speaker 1: is that, by the way, isn't it. We talked about it, Yester,
Speaker 1: that there's so many other options.
Speaker 6: Cole.
Speaker 3: They didn't call it up the wars bar or something,
Speaker 3: because that would have been up the bar.
Speaker 4: That would have been so bad. I don't know.
Speaker 1: Full times pretty what is it? Anyway, we've already discussed that.
Speaker 1: Another call here yours.
Speaker 5: Yeah you get Fuller's just a reality checked to the
Speaker 5: muppet who said that Richard McCaw wasn't from a Tigo's
Speaker 5: way Tiki District is famously a cross regional district with
Speaker 5: Canterbury and Otago and kraw and the Hucker Valley are
Speaker 5: in fact on the Canterbury side. So Richie McCaw is
Speaker 5: indeed from Canterbury.
Speaker 4: Fuck Targo.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, that was me obviously, my my, you know,
Speaker 3: I'm yet you said you were going to spread a
Speaker 3: map out for me lower South Island and go through that.
Speaker 3: I just presumed he went to a Tigo. Boys, he's
Speaker 3: from from Otago. And you look at some say that
Speaker 3: it still sounds like it's the Keshmere of the South Island,
Speaker 3: where there's some disputes over where it finishes and inns.
Speaker 4: All right, that was confusing because there is a suburban
Speaker 4: christ Church called Kashmir.
Speaker 3: This like this is the India Pakistani order up in
Speaker 3: the mountains here.
Speaker 4: No, it's very clear. It's a very nice distinction.
Speaker 1: The Waitaki River divides North Totago in South Canterbury and
Speaker 1: uh Richie was born on the South Canbury site of
Speaker 1: the river.
Speaker 3: But he's from Kourou.
Speaker 1: That is the nearest town. That's the nearest town to
Speaker 1: where he's from. Unfortunately he has to cross a bridge
Speaker 1: to get to that town.
Speaker 3: So where was he born?
Speaker 4: Oh? Gee, I don't know.
Speaker 3: Is he was he born in Dunedin hospital?
Speaker 4: Was he born an Amoru hospital?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 4: That would be even worth you know what I'm going
Speaker 4: to do. I'm going to google it right now. Yeah,
Speaker 4: we have the capability, we need to find it. He
Speaker 4: really lives.
Speaker 3: Where did he come out of his mother's vagina?
Speaker 1: Well, uh Richie mc core because I know that the
Speaker 1: Hacker Valley does not have a maternity suite.
Speaker 4: Yeah, which is North Otargo?
Speaker 3: Here he go, The's one for the north of Tagos.
Speaker 4: There is one for the North of Targos.
Speaker 1: All right, then South Caneroy is still claiming it, but
Speaker 1: I don't I know if you are, Tommy would say
Speaker 1: not from South Caero.
Speaker 4: Anyway, we digress.
Speaker 1: All right, let's look this thing on the head for
Speaker 1: today plenty coming out of the next sort of twenty
Speaker 1: four hours.
Speaker 4: We've got the sports book very surely, and then we've
Speaker 4: got a very special edition of the podcast. It could
Speaker 4: be out today, it could be out across the weekend.
Speaker 1: We're still working through the legal ramifications of oh yeah,
Speaker 1: whether we're even allowed to release that podcast.
Speaker 3: Yeah, David Nika, Yeah, he did say some cancellable stuff.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he did say. I was quite surprised. Actually, yeah,
Speaker 4: you could be canceled for this. So if the podcast
Speaker 4: is out, go and listen to it.
Speaker 1: And if it's not, it's because all three of us
Speaker 1: have been internally canceled before we release that podcast. Otherwise,
Speaker 1: enjoy your weekend, see you on Monday.
