Speaker 1: Live from a freshly refurbished Export Beer Garden studio and
Speaker 1: brought to you, as always by Export Ultra, the beer
Speaker 1: for here. This is the Agenda Podcast for Monday, the
Speaker 1: sixteenth of September.
Speaker 2: The Agenda Podcast, the home of Sporting, Nonsense and clap Trap,
Speaker 2: brought to you by Next sport A.
Speaker 1: Vultra Franz Banker Lane.
Speaker 3: Well it smells new.
Speaker 1: It does smell new, Yeah, I hope it sounds new
Speaker 1: for those of you listening. We've just refurbished the studio.
Speaker 1: And by the studio, I mean there's now a set. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's in the same studio.
Speaker 3: We've got a good backdrop. It's all the light only
Speaker 3: the windows do we no, God No. All that means
Speaker 3: is people can see in here. Like we said last week,
Speaker 3: we lifted the curtains for the first time in years.
Speaker 3: The place just about burst into flames when we did, so, Yeah,
Speaker 3: it's about time. Although I do notice now that I
Speaker 3: look at it, that the curtains are actually up and
Speaker 3: you can't get back there to lower them, so.
Speaker 1: That could potentially be an oversight. But if you want
Speaker 1: to see it, you can check it out on Instagram.
Speaker 1: Look up the alternative common try collective on Instagram and
Speaker 1: you can be one of the hundred to watch it today.
Speaker 1: I've printed off four blank sheets of paper in front
Speaker 1: of me. Yeah, so what do you got. I've got
Speaker 1: one piece of paper, Yes, got some writing on it. Yes,
Speaker 1: David Nika. Yes, we went and watched him fight. Yes,
Speaker 1: Saturday night.
Speaker 3: Yep, big Runway. I tell you that I was nervous
Speaker 3: about the Runways first fight at quarter past six eleven.
Speaker 1: Yeah, not to be before eleven.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and look we're talking about full catering as well,
Speaker 3: aren't we. Yeah. And we had young Isaac on the
Speaker 3: table and she's that bucket of beers and white claws.
Speaker 3: We down did it?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 1: Well, what I found out was happening was they were
Speaker 1: coming over and asking him and the notorious pants ban
Speaker 1: Joel Harrison if the thing needed topping up. But I
Speaker 1: think at the same time a different person was asking
Speaker 1: you if it needed topping up as well. So when
Speaker 1: we were ordering rounds of beers, we were doubling up
Speaker 1: on ourselves.
Speaker 3: So yeah, it was like it was a mountain which yeah,
Speaker 3: and they were getting warm. Well the problem this is
Speaker 3: the thing.
Speaker 1: It also created a bit of a turbo sort of
Speaker 1: effect where it started spoiling up because people saw the
Speaker 1: amount of pass we had to get through and lifted
Speaker 1: their tempo to keep track with that. So the point
Speaker 1: where I actually had a spit take at one point
Speaker 1: where I ended up spitting my drink all over the
Speaker 1: long suffering Lauren was sitting next to me at the
Speaker 1: table because Joel Harrison is telling me a story about
Speaker 1: how he put one hundred dollars on David Yuka's fight
Speaker 1: and he was paying. He's paying a dollar, a dollar
Speaker 1: and four cents, so he vested, invested one hundred dollars
Speaker 1: and won four dollars, but it was actually a bonus bit,
Speaker 1: so he actually only won two dollars. I had the
Speaker 1: same reaction you just did then, but had a mouthful
Speaker 1: of white claw and it went all over Lauren's brand
Speaker 1: new dress. So things got pretty pear shape there. And
Speaker 1: you mentioned a long runway long time listeners of the
Speaker 1: a SEC will remember sprayed around Scotty. Yes, it was
Speaker 1: fortieth on the weekend.
Speaker 3: Yes, and here's fortieth started at two thirty in the afternoon.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so we were well and truly up for it
Speaker 1: by the time we got there.
Speaker 3: Luckily that we left spray around Scotty's party. Whim we
Speaker 3: dead because poor Joe got hit up by a person
Speaker 3: who was sticking up for the physio from England.
Speaker 1: Yeah right, Oh that whole drum Yeah yeah got resurfaced.
Speaker 1: Yeah great, that's good. I'm glad we left. And so
Speaker 1: that the fights themselves. There were four heavyweight fights on
Speaker 1: the undercard. Two of them were four round fights, and
Speaker 1: I'd sort of got that I told you before we
Speaker 1: went in there. I love betting on boxing cards and
Speaker 1: MMA cards because you can bet on that fight when
Speaker 1: or lost, then you can either reinvest or chase on
Speaker 1: the next one.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So it's quite fun punting ringside, and I got into
Speaker 1: the rhythm of things. I was like, oh, I see
Speaker 1: how these fights are gone. There are only four rounds.
Speaker 1: I'll bet on this next one to go the distance.
Speaker 1: And so I did, and they came out and said,
Speaker 1: these two gentlemen, we'll be fighting for ten rounds. I
Speaker 1: was like, oh, someone's going down, and so at that
Speaker 1: point I was kind of it's like beating the unders,
Speaker 1: you know, like you're beating against excitement. So whils I
Speaker 1: was sitting there just sweating. I don't talk about don't
Speaker 1: don'tknok about. It was a good fight in the end,
Speaker 1: and thankfully it did go the distance. Made a bit
Speaker 1: of made a bit of coin on that one.
Speaker 3: I mean in the highlight for me was the guy
Speaker 3: got smacked out of the ring. Yeah, I don't know
Speaker 3: what fight there was, my meaner the third fight of
Speaker 3: the night.
Speaker 1: As yes, the third last. It was a big heavyweight
Speaker 1: two boppers and he got knocked basically unconscious but was
Speaker 1: still sort of like staggering around and his ass went
Speaker 1: out of the thing and old mate just clubbed him
Speaker 1: again and he went flying out of the ring like
Speaker 1: a WWE fight. That was definitely highlight of the.
Speaker 3: Of the night on it I end seeing poor carpiencies
Speaker 3: kidneys burst live on stage.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so a lot of people have been asking me
Speaker 1: this morning about how I was the fight a little
Speaker 1: bit disappointing, But he actually David Yuka let him up,
Speaker 1: Like I know, the highlights didn't look that good because
Speaker 1: he just sort of took and knee and then the
Speaker 1: towel got thrown in and that was all she wrote.
Speaker 3: But it was a good fight. David Nika did light
Speaker 3: that thought up. Every time he hit his kidneys. There
Speaker 3: was a slap that went through the Vine Accident Center
Speaker 3: and the crowd just went. It wasn't cheering, it was
Speaker 3: just like.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah it was. It was like watching a man
Speaker 1: at the at the heavy bag as hard as he
Speaker 1: possibly could.
Speaker 3: Yeah, a lot of a lot of a lot more
Speaker 3: females at the event than I was expecting. Any reason,
Speaker 3: any reason for that?
Speaker 1: Do you think more than usual for a boxing card.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they might think it might be the David Niaker effect.
Speaker 1: It could be if you haven't seen on the old
Speaker 1: Instagram thing. You know, there was where they all came
Speaker 1: out the walkouts. There a lot of people crowded around.
Speaker 1: I was, I wonder if we can get away. Fist
Speaker 1: bump here on his way out and just got hung
Speaker 1: out to dry there. But thankfully the security guard he
Speaker 1: saved the day down through at the fist bump.
Speaker 3: You your first was hanging out there like an old
Speaker 3: man's naphyla, and create to you he had well and
Speaker 3: truly blanked you, Dave Nat and you just just kept
Speaker 3: the first out there like you were just like you know,
Speaker 3: I'm just I'm actually just paralyzed. And then the security
Speaker 3: guard he came back to you and then like just
Speaker 3: felt sorry for you, delivered you a first and then
Speaker 3: you were like.
Speaker 1: And then tossed me out. Yeah. So David Yuka's family
Speaker 1: were on the other side, and so he went over
Speaker 1: over to them. You can't see he's just out of shot.
Speaker 1: But I was waiting to see if he would turn
Speaker 1: around and then but no he didn't. So yeah, just
Speaker 1: utterly humiliated myself. Shut it to Jay Reeve for filming that.
Speaker 3: He dined out on that as well. I saw him
Speaker 3: when I was on the way to the toilet and.
Speaker 1: He's like, yeah, that's out, Jack Maya.
Speaker 3: This is the blank you'll ever see.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was. It was tough to watch. I tell
Speaker 1: you what, if you're dusty, nothing will make you search
Speaker 1: your soul more than seeing footage of yourself getting blanked
Speaker 1: by David and there soon as we got there. So
Speaker 1: it's a black tie event. I don't know what the
Speaker 1: fuck that means. All I figured out is that black
Speaker 1: tie doesn't mean you actually have to wear a black tie, right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's it's strongly recommended.
Speaker 1: It's an indicator of the kind of because are in
Speaker 1: bow tyes. Yeah, but then there was dudes in T
Speaker 1: shirts and shorts there were, yeah.
Speaker 3: But I was. They were the kind of people that
Speaker 3: I wouldn't have stopped at the door.
Speaker 1: No, I think they were. They were friends and family
Speaker 1: of some of the fighters.
Speaker 3: And I think a lot of them might have paid
Speaker 3: cash for the table.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So I get there first person. We see Laura
Speaker 1: McGoldrick coming in off the long run up, but she'd
Speaker 1: been at a lady's lunch. Yeah, ladies long lunch. Then
Speaker 1: she came steaming in and she just walks up to
Speaker 1: me and grabs my shirt and goes, who the fuck
Speaker 1: were is lenen to a black tiving. I was like, Jesus,
Speaker 1: I didn't know what the rules were. I haven't been
Speaker 1: to a lot of black tie events. To be fair,
Speaker 1: this is the only shit that fits me. I was like, Oh,
Speaker 1: I thought I was looking pretty good. I went into
Speaker 1: the toilet one stage.
Speaker 3: I think it was probably eight o'clock, and the toilets
Speaker 3: were choco full of urinals and a big.
Speaker 1: Whoa, it's dressed to go by.
Speaker 3: And everyone's like yeah, yeah, and then I heard he
Speaker 3: get the funk out of here, lane, Okay, Yeah.
Speaker 1: I I went in there, used the facilities, and as
Speaker 1: I was walking out, there was a line because there
Speaker 1: were half as many sinks as there were urinals. Yeah,
Speaker 1: urinals were packed. I was like, you know what, I'm
Speaker 1: going to get away with us here. I'm just going
Speaker 1: to walk out wash you. As soon as I walked out,
Speaker 1: I just could just hear Mike Minogue from the back
Speaker 1: of the grub and so I walked out. As soon
Speaker 1: as I walked out there, producer Pugs Pugsy was there.
Speaker 1: He guess kidd mate came over and shook my head.
Speaker 1: So then, yeah, I saw Monogue later on he said,
Speaker 1: that's going to get about half an hour's worth of
Speaker 1: ear time on the big show.
Speaker 3: Wash washing hands at urinals, you have to urinating.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right. Well, Jason Hoyt doesn't work. I suppose.
Speaker 1: I suppose at that point you wouldn't need to wash
Speaker 1: your hands anyway. But I see that he's taken Instagram. Oh,
Speaker 1: David Yuki. He wants to go again for the end
Speaker 1: of the year. Yeah, I mean he barely got punched.
Speaker 3: Nah, no, not at all. I mean yeah, And I
Speaker 3: think he said that when we talk to him. He
Speaker 3: wants to, you know, just road to the title. He
Speaker 3: wants to be fighting, you know, every four or five months. Yeah,
Speaker 3: having something on the card, so yeah, but the end
Speaker 3: of the year, it'd be great to do it again.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's just gonna need to find someone because I think,
Speaker 1: like as good as that carp and C dude was,
Speaker 1: at some point in his career, I think it was
Speaker 1: a bit of a shell of himself, to be fair.
Speaker 1: He did fight only like a month or two ago
Speaker 1: that Carpenin Feller, and then he took the fight on
Speaker 1: three weeks notice. So he wasn't, you know, in tiptop shape,
Speaker 1: but he got pieced up. It would be good to
Speaker 1: see him go against a little bit stiffer competition, maybe
Speaker 1: someone we've heard of, although I haven't heard of any
Speaker 1: of the people in the Cruisewe No division, so be
Speaker 1: interesting to see. But I'd like to go again. There's
Speaker 1: something in the air when you're at the boxing. I
Speaker 1: will will not though. There's something I noticed the last
Speaker 1: time I went to a boxing event. The crowd's way quieter,
Speaker 1: like you can hear a pin drop in there for
Speaker 1: some reason.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we had a friends and family table behind us
Speaker 3: of one of the fighters that yeah, they were going
Speaker 3: nuts with My ears were ringing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, for one of the fighters. This girl's screaming the
Speaker 1: entire time, but for the rest of it you could
Speaker 1: basically hear people's cutlery and yeah, shit, I think it's
Speaker 1: partly tension, partly the fact you're all sitting around tables
Speaker 1: having dinner.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's that's a bit strange. Yeah, eating a steak
Speaker 3: while some guy was getting his head pounded and about
Speaker 3: ten meters away from you.
Speaker 1: I'd rather be here than in there. Yeah, But shout
Speaker 1: out to them, and shout out to Duke for having
Speaker 1: us there as well.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Hopefully if they get another fight, we can get David
Speaker 1: back in here. I can sort of yea, my grievance
Speaker 1: with him just leaving me hanging yeap.
Speaker 3: I can't wait to show them the video.
Speaker 1: Actually, yeah, hopefully I've seen it. Hopefully it feels terrible
Speaker 1: about it. All right, let's take quick break. We'll come
Speaker 1: back and talk a bit more sport. I want to
Speaker 1: start with the Black Cats because they're playing Tri Lanka
Speaker 1: in the first of two tests this week.
Speaker 3: Yes, scoll on when ball on Wednesday.
Speaker 1: These two tests are part of the World Test Championship,
Speaker 1: correct which I've had a look at the standings. At
Speaker 1: the moment, we sit third on the latter behind India
Speaker 1: and Australia. We've played six matches Ossie have played nine.
Speaker 1: In India have played twelve. That's ridiculous, but that works
Speaker 1: in our favor because it's win percentage. It's the amount
Speaker 1: of points that were available. How many of those have
Speaker 1: you won? You get twelve points for a word. It's
Speaker 1: very cricket. It's very confusing. Duckworth Lewis must have come
Speaker 1: up with this fucking system. We're on thirty six I
Speaker 1: think Australia on like ninety. England have played sixteen Test matches. Yeah,
Speaker 1: which unfortunately drops them down to rank sixth because they've
Speaker 1: had more opportunity to lose than anyone else.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and they lose. When they lose, they lose hard
Speaker 3: because they go for baswell.
Speaker 1: But the interesting part about this test is not that
Speaker 1: it starts on Wednesday. It's not that we're third on
Speaker 1: the table. It's that we're taking a day off in
Speaker 1: the middle of it. Have you've seen this? So it
Speaker 1: starts Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, then they take Saturday off, then
Speaker 1: they pick back up Sunday Monday. So this is going
Speaker 1: to be a six day test all told. Because Sri
Speaker 1: Lanka's election is on the Saturday. They can't have any
Speaker 1: security there, so that's taking the day off so over
Speaker 1: and can go I guess, or maybe it's because they
Speaker 1: want to make sure that, you know, enough people vote
Speaker 1: in the election.
Speaker 3: Just set up a voting booth in the stadium, Yeah,
Speaker 3: have people vote on their way in. I think it's
Speaker 3: more of security things. I know in India you cannot
Speaker 3: tour India during any sort of elections because they can't
Speaker 3: guarantee security for the event, right, because it's around the elections.
Speaker 3: I think it's probably more around that. But rain is
Speaker 3: forecast for the first five days of this test. Awesome,
Speaker 3: Well it's a six day test, yes, and the sixth
Speaker 3: day beautiful sunshine.
Speaker 1: Well, we'll get to get one day of action. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and an election result.
Speaker 3: I think they've got better drainage in Gaul than they
Speaker 3: have it in the India. Girl has been around for
Speaker 3: a long time. Beautiful, beautiful stadium. It's got like a
Speaker 3: fort running around it next to the ocean, I know
Speaker 3: the one. Yeah, and it's quite it's quite a ground
Speaker 3: that's quite close to Kiwi's hearts as well, because when
Speaker 3: the tsunami hit, you know, the boxing Day tsunami. That's
Speaker 3: that ground absolutely totaled and New Zealand Cricket and New
Speaker 3: Zealand were quite instrumental in rebuilding that right, helping rebuild
Speaker 3: that stadium in that ground. So it's an amazing place.
Speaker 3: It's like the locations awesome.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I's just hope it doesn't fucking rain the whole time.
Speaker 1: Nahor there's no tsunamis. Have you ever been to Sri
Speaker 1: Lanka before?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've heard.
Speaker 1: I've heard nothing but great things about it.
Speaker 3: That is a great place. You have to ignore the
Speaker 3: fact that you know, there was some sort of genocide
Speaker 3: happened up in the hills with the canils. But it
Speaker 3: is what you'd say are manageable India. Yeah, it's smaller, Yeah,
Speaker 3: you can kind of drive around. It's got some great beaches,
Speaker 3: great wildlife, great wildlife. They've got like a Safari park
Speaker 3: in the liver where you can go and see leopards
Speaker 3: and crocodiles and elephants and and there there native birders,
Speaker 3: a jungle fowl which is a jungle chicken. Oh yeah,
Speaker 3: they've got heaps of these jungle chickens running around and
Speaker 3: they've got tea plantations up in the mountains as well.
Speaker 3: They've got their famous train ride that all those Instagram
Speaker 3: woundersoos themselves on it. I would highly recommend it. It's
Speaker 3: like I was saying, if you're too scared to go
Speaker 3: to India because it's a massive humanity Sri Lanka is here,
Speaker 3: is he more manageable? And the national sport rugby? Yeah,
Speaker 3: they fucking love rugby. Really.
Speaker 1: They obviously suck at it though, because they're never at
Speaker 1: the World Cup.
Speaker 3: No, but you go over there and there's a lot
Speaker 3: of how you say it, contracted overseas players right there,
Speaker 3: like loads of fig and dues, tongu and gentlemen. Yeah,
Speaker 3: because the military is quite big on rugby, so they've
Speaker 3: got the strongest team. Yeah. I was quite surprised. I
Speaker 3: had we had a guide with him were there, because
Speaker 3: you pay one hundred yueist dollars and you get a
Speaker 3: driver in a car and they take it around everywhere.
Speaker 3: And his favorite players, Richie mcare I seen him in
Speaker 3: all that ex jusey afterwards, So it's just the biggest
Speaker 3: Richie McCaw fan. So weird going to Sri Lanka and
Speaker 3: you think it's all cricket, but rugby.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's full on it.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 1: I've got a lot of friends who have been there
Speaker 1: and sent rave reviews about it. Apparently, if you ask
Speaker 1: the right way, they're not averse to the fucking mana's.
Speaker 3: Over there, Oh no, especially on the beaches surf beaches.
Speaker 1: Or apparently through the Safari Park where one of my
Speaker 1: friends allegedly had been offered the fucking manas and then
Speaker 1: stone to the girls watching a leopard drag a deer
Speaker 1: into a tree.
Speaker 3: We went through the Safari Park with our guide and
Speaker 3: we hadn't seen a leopard, and he was pretty guarded
Speaker 3: that we hadn't provided a leopard for us. So you
Speaker 3: have to be out of the park by six pm
Speaker 3: otherwise the guides get fined and everything. And it was
Speaker 3: well past six and he saw a leopard in the distance,
Speaker 3: and so we saw the leopard, took fight, came ran
Speaker 3: right past us, went onto the bush and he's like, okay,
Speaker 3: we have to go now, but I just have to
Speaker 3: do one more thing, and he popped the boot off
Speaker 3: the the jeep open, put his hands all through the grease,
Speaker 3: greased up his face and everything all over his head,
Speaker 3: and then bum rushed the gate and said he'd broken
Speaker 3: down and he had to fix the good know what
Speaker 3: he was like, what's he doing? Because he was like,
Speaker 3: did the things they've broken down? I had to appear
Speaker 3: to change the oil and like he was just covered,
Speaker 3: covered himself and ship. It was so good.
Speaker 1: They would have seen him coming off. He comes home
Speaker 1: made again, he's going to try that he's broken down.
Speaker 1: Excuse Yeah, I can't be bothered with an argument today.
Speaker 1: Just let him go now.
Speaker 3: Highly recommend you, if you get a chance, get over there,
Speaker 3: get out of You're flying to Columbo and you get
Speaker 3: the fuck out of there. And he'd straight up to
Speaker 3: kind of candy up in the mountains. Yeah, gol on
Speaker 3: the coast. If you're a surfing too, they've got great
Speaker 3: surf beaches.
Speaker 1: Maybe that should be one of our next trips.
Speaker 3: Yeah. And that's where they fish off the poles. You
Speaker 3: know you see those dudes standing on poles.
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, that's where they do that.
Speaker 3: Oh it's crazy. They're just at the top of his pole,
Speaker 3: just catching tiny fish and just tucking into get.
Speaker 1: A boat like Pilchards. Yeah, powerful stuff. The NBC across
Speaker 1: the weekend. You will be heartbroken to know that has
Speaker 1: been retained the shield. Wellington did not win. It was
Speaker 1: like almost the last minute buzzerb to try to a
Speaker 1: block by the name of Kor and Tom Moyfilow. It
Speaker 1: was a tremendous try, Like this individual effort broke. Oh
Speaker 1: I made something out of nothing and then won it. Unfortunately.
Speaker 1: Does that mean we've cursed Wellington?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Well look Brad Shields, nice guy. Yeah, terrifying man.
Speaker 3: I wouldn't want to get on his bed side. You
Speaker 3: may have correct, Yeah, because he did say, we said
Speaker 3: why you see, we'll talk to you after you win
Speaker 3: the shield.
Speaker 1: I was hoping this wouldn't be brought up.
Speaker 3: And then he said, have you dis cursed us? But
Speaker 3: I don't. We don't. We don't have a history in cursing.
Speaker 1: No. Yeah, I did say, well, if you win the shield,
Speaker 1: you left to come on this weekend. And I was
Speaker 1: saying after after we interviewed him, I was like, I
Speaker 1: only said that because if they lose, he's not gonna
Speaker 1: want to come on here and talk to us. So
Speaker 1: please welcome Brad Shields to the show.
Speaker 3: I think Tasman got it for the got it for
Speaker 3: the summer. You're against my vibe because I think that
Speaker 3: was their biggest threat. There was the two unbeaten teams
Speaker 3: and they closed them out. So I can't see has
Speaker 3: been losing it.
Speaker 1: No, yeah that is. I mean, look, I don't think
Speaker 1: we cursed them, but selfishly I am grateful that it
Speaker 1: is staying in the South Island because that's now a
Speaker 1: bus trip for South Canterbury, who gave me a heart
Speaker 1: attack over the weekend.
Speaker 3: I did yous come in?
Speaker 1: No it didn't, so our three way I think Carl's
Speaker 1: horse did.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I don't care about car need.
Speaker 1: I can't catch them.
Speaker 3: Yeah, my cricket one didn't come in. They had seven
Speaker 3: six is Australia not more than eight and a half apoint.
Speaker 1: I had South Africa, South Africa, South Canterbury to minus
Speaker 1: nineteen and a half. I played North Otago. They were
Speaker 1: down by twenty points at halftime and I checked that
Speaker 1: and I was like, fuck, mabe, this could be it.
Speaker 1: And then they came back and won it, and I
Speaker 1: just think like we're gonna have to I think we
Speaker 1: have to get their coach or something on because it
Speaker 1: must be terrifying having I think it's like almost forty
Speaker 1: games on the trot.
Speaker 3: Now you're a target Yeah, you're a target see everyone.
Speaker 3: That's what Like, that's what Auckland were for years during
Speaker 3: the eighties. Yeah, when they had this shield, they were
Speaker 3: a target for everyone.
Speaker 1: Yeah. But and like obviously, I know you never plan
Speaker 1: to lose a game of rugby anyway, so it's not
Speaker 1: going to impact it that much. But they must be
Speaker 1: getting the speed wabbles now. We'll have to get them
Speaker 1: on later on. But in other rugby news, we didn't
Speaker 1: talk about it on Friday, but the news came out
Speaker 1: that they are changing the finals format for Super Rugby
Speaker 1: next year.
Speaker 3: Do you understand it? I like to think I do.
Speaker 3: To the point of the ranking things, So six teams qualify.
Speaker 3: See first place Sex, you can place fifth. Yeah, that
Speaker 3: kind of thing. But first and second have a second chance.
Speaker 1: Ah what No, So whoever losers one of the losing teams,
Speaker 1: whoever the highest ranked losing team is, gets a second
Speaker 1: chance the next week.
Speaker 3: Okay, so if number one beats Sex but two losers
Speaker 3: to five, two gets another hone.
Speaker 1: Ah, so there's going to be three winners that go
Speaker 1: through to the next round. They need one more to
Speaker 1: make up. And it's the highest rank of the losers.
Speaker 3: Why do they do this.
Speaker 1: That's so stupid, and I saw My first instinct was
Speaker 1: and I've seen other journalists write this. I think Dylan
Speaker 1: Cleaver had the same point was they just wanted to
Speaker 1: copy NRL, but because they're rugby, they have to be like,
Speaker 1: we didn't copy NROL, we come up with their own one.
Speaker 1: So they've made a shitter version of what the NRL
Speaker 1: has because the NROL one is confusing. I have to
Speaker 1: look at the picture to be able to understand what's
Speaker 1: going on. But the top two ranked teams, if they
Speaker 1: win their first match or the top four throw, they
Speaker 1: get a buy the next round. That's what you're playing for,
Speaker 1: and then if you lose, you get a second bite
Speaker 1: of the cherry of the next round. You get to
Speaker 1: stay in. That makes sense. See what you're playing for
Speaker 1: is a bye next week, and if you lose then
Speaker 1: you have to fight for your life the following week.
Speaker 1: That I can understand. What I can't understand is so
Speaker 1: I one players, but then if they win, now you're
Speaker 1: waiting on the next game because of that team wins
Speaker 1: now you could go through. But if the other team wins,
Speaker 1: now you're out because of the rankings. I don't know
Speaker 1: hopefully it makes teams jocking for position a bit more
Speaker 1: intense throughout the season.
Speaker 3: They want it because you want to secure one or two,
Speaker 3: don't you. Yeah, that's because that's your lifeline.
Speaker 1: Yeah, even even three, because if you lost in your third,
Speaker 1: no one else would lose but be higher ranked than you.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, because of one and two win.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but then four. The thing is, and I hate
Speaker 1: when people come out and say, oh, it's not that confusing,
Speaker 1: like it's actually really easy to understand. It's like, you
Speaker 1: can't just say that because it's fucking not. I don't
Speaker 1: understand it, you know, So you you can tell me
Speaker 1: that I should until the cows come home. I'm fucking not.
Speaker 1: And this is what we're gonna have to do with
Speaker 1: all next year as well. Hang on, did they so
Speaker 1: they win? But then they at least.
Speaker 3: I've reduced it to sex. I mean, but they've had
Speaker 3: to have they.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they had to because yeah, well there's eleven teams.
Speaker 1: Teams were making the playoffs that had won like two games.
Speaker 1: It was a bit ridiculous and just quickly on sport
Speaker 1: as well. The Blackburns lost over the weekend twenty four
Speaker 1: to twelve in front of forty one and a half
Speaker 1: thousand people at Twickenham. Did they curse themselves by hugging
Speaker 1: the King? Wh Is that a curse? Is that a curse?
Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't know if he holds any
Speaker 3: sort of sways the old King Charles m trophy head.
Speaker 1: Maybe not. I'm I'm just trying to grasp the straws
Speaker 1: for some sort.
Speaker 3: Of It's he shrinking and his appendages are getting bigger,
Speaker 3: his fingers are getting fatter, his ears are getting bigger.
Speaker 1: It certainly seems that way, doesn't it. God, could you
Speaker 1: imagine what his feet look like? King Charles, get the
Speaker 1: dogs out. We need to see it.
Speaker 3: But like twenty four twelve, that's not They were expected
Speaker 3: to potentially struggle a little bit against the world number
Speaker 3: one in Twickenham, So twenty four to twelve sounds like
Speaker 3: they gave it a good I didn't see any of it,
Speaker 3: but it sounds like that score line, doesn't they.
Speaker 1: Gave it a good note? Yeah, that's right. I don't
Speaker 1: think this is panic bells, but we do love to
Speaker 1: just hit the panic button whenever a New Zealand rugby
Speaker 1: team loses. Yeah, all right, let's take a break when
Speaker 1: we come back, We'll get to yours.
Speaker 2: Please, yours please, brought to you by Leader Home of
Speaker 2: the Las Top.
Speaker 1: We have four to get through. First caller, yours please, Lads.
Speaker 5: I'm sitting in the pub watching the AFL and I
Speaker 5: just said a brain wave. G Laying looks like treasure
Speaker 5: Trevor Scalf. Treasure Trevor Scalf, Travis Kels if g Lay
Speaker 5: look after himself. Too many fucking knife parties in his
Speaker 5: life and brain cancers anyway, horo fuck what if your
Speaker 5: team Trevors Scalse's plays for.
Speaker 1: Look, I'll take that petty girls really tying on on there?
Speaker 1: He is petty.
Speaker 3: Come down, mate, You'll take Travis Kelsey. Yeah, I'll takes Kelsey, Trevor,
Speaker 3: Trevor's trivers powerful.
Speaker 1: Stuff them mount Honestly, we're not going to play the more.
Speaker 1: But we got so many drunk voicemails over the weekend.
Speaker 3: It's a good outlet.
Speaker 1: I was saying in the office. I feel like we've
Speaker 1: saved at least three women from receiving a drunk call. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's so true over the weekend.
Speaker 3: I mean, I digress a little bit, but I got
Speaker 3: home after the fight, and you know you came home.
Speaker 3: You're trying to be quiet, kind of remove most of
Speaker 3: your items of clothing elsewhere. So the jingle jangle of
Speaker 3: the of the belt and the wallet and everything downstairs.
Speaker 3: I did downstairs, and then a couple of glasses of water.
Speaker 3: Brush my teeth downstairs using one of my kid's toothbrushes.
Speaker 3: I mean, like up the stairs, get into the room.
Speaker 3: And all I got was downstairs, and I was like, uh,
Speaker 3: back down, back down to the Frank's room. My youngest child,
Speaker 3: who has taken my position in the marital bed. He's starfished,
Speaker 3: because that's what she is. He's on here. Get back downstairs, you.
Speaker 3: So I went back down to the kids room and
Speaker 3: she got safe from me. When you hear with.
Speaker 6: Yeah, anyway, was it that voice that's been awake for
Speaker 6: like she hadn't just woken up there? No, No, that
Speaker 6: one's terrifying when you come home and it's.
Speaker 3: Dark and you get there, Yeah, you can go soundstairs
Speaker 3: and sleep. Yeah. Well it's not a yeah, I've been
Speaker 3: awake for hours with this kid.
Speaker 6: Yeah yeah, And I'm like, okay, yeah, that powerful stuff,
Speaker 6: all right?
Speaker 1: Another caller here your space.
Speaker 6: I thought the game is going to be the rip
Speaker 6: off some Miles school and you can never beat the thing.
Speaker 4: But just watched it, and Jesus Christ, it was actually
Speaker 4: quite good.
Speaker 3: I loved it pretty much and fuck South of Calory.
Speaker 3: Well there we go. It was a compliment.
Speaker 1: Great feedback, great feed So we're in that disguise you reckon.
Speaker 3: They'll use that definitely. Yeah, I'm the next trailer. Yeah, yep.
Speaker 3: So a game of two hours back again this Thursday
Speaker 3: eight thirds. Yep.
Speaker 1: We can see when these voicemails are senter and that
Speaker 1: was two forty in the morning.
Speaker 3: So and look, that was good, honest feedback because he
Speaker 3: obviously had a few, and when you've had a few,
Speaker 3: you tend to let the filters come down. But he
Speaker 3: was complimentary.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, he also enjoy things a bit more. I
Speaker 1: think when you have the skin for he should probably
Speaker 1: watch it again in the stark in the dark daylight.
Speaker 1: But thank you for that, great honesty, great feedback. And
Speaker 1: I will send that through disguise if they use it
Speaker 1: at all for a promo. Not a caller here your
Speaker 1: space go fellas.
Speaker 7: After watching that Storm Sharks game, I'm just putting it
Speaker 7: out there. I don't think Jerome Hughes gets enough love
Speaker 7: as a great New Zealander. He's been pulling the strings
Speaker 7: of the Storm all year. Debatably one of the players
Speaker 7: in the league. Whenever he plays with the Kiwis is
Speaker 7: absolutely phenomenal. But we don't see he claim him was
Speaker 7: one of our own. What do you reckon?
Speaker 1: It's because he is? Yeah, yeah, fuck Tomoka terrible, probably
Speaker 1: the worst part of South Canterbury to bence for the
Speaker 1: head to pick one. What we're talking about Jerome Herees.
Speaker 1: I think it's because he lives in Melbourne, right, any
Speaker 1: dude that lives in Australia, you kind of forget that
Speaker 1: that Kiwi A lot of times, those that have been
Speaker 1: in the NRL for years, you're like, oh, that's right.
Speaker 1: It's only when they come back and play for the
Speaker 1: Kiwis that you remember he's actually a New Zealander. So yeah, no,
Speaker 1: but I agree with their caller and I think if
Speaker 1: he really wants to solidify himself as a great New Zealander,
Speaker 1: it's gonna have to come home play for the Warriors.
Speaker 1: So Jerome here Is, if you're out there listening to this,
Speaker 1: come home. It's the only way. It's the only way.
Speaker 1: I'll give you a first pump, one last one caller
Speaker 1: yours pace.
Speaker 4: Julane Welling conplan here, keep you feeling the curves away
Speaker 4: from our teams in the future. All right, thank you,
Speaker 4: and Anoya Cashuiras are just like all Australian stuff, fucking thick.
Speaker 4: You do one easy. Honestly, they're disappearing at an alarming rate.
Speaker 4: They're so stupid. No worries at all.
Speaker 1: All right, be a toy k thank you.
Speaker 3: That's a good way to win it. Be a tidy
Speaker 3: kiwi ye. It's just a lot more wholesome than a
Speaker 3: south Ken.
Speaker 1: Yeah, unfear on you. It wasn't you that cursed them,
Speaker 1: if it was anyone that was me, I was in
Speaker 1: the room, you were in the room. So by proxy
Speaker 1: you'r curse does get and and and the first bit
Speaker 1: of positive support that I've had against this cassi.
Speaker 3: That one of against many though, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: But one. It's good to have someone in your corner.
Speaker 1: And look, Wellington, I know you're HEARDing. If you're looking
Speaker 1: for someone to blame it on, you can blame it
Speaker 1: on us. It's not really a fib but we'll take it.
Speaker 3: And also you've got Auckland FC coming for your title
Speaker 3: as well on the on the football front.
Speaker 1: Blame that one on us. All right, let's knock this
Speaker 1: one on the head for a debut for the new set, I.
Speaker 3: Keep it's not really finished though. It's some stuff that's
Speaker 3: going to go unto here.
Speaker 1: It'll be like a painting, I presume.
Speaker 3: Yeah, some sort of painting or a mural, a logo
Speaker 3: neon Neon might blow out the camic, but anyway, it's well,
Speaker 3: it's kind of eighty percent done.
