This is the Agenda Podcast for Monday, the 0:00:08.480 --> 0:00:09.639 sixteenth of September. 0:00:10.520 --> 0:00:14.760 The Agenda Podcast, the home of Sporting, Nonsense and clap Trap, 0:00:15.200 --> 0:00:16.720 brought to you by Next sport A. 0:00:16.760 --> 0:00:19.279 Vultra Franz Banker Lane. 0:00:19.280 --> 0:00:20.320 Well it smells new. 0:00:20.400 --> 0:00:23.799 It does smell new, Yeah, I hope it sounds new 0:00:24.960 --> 0:00:28.040 for those of you listening. We've just refurbished the studio. 0:00:28.480 --> 0:00:30.880 And by the studio, I mean there's now a set. Yeah, 0:00:30.920 --> 0:00:31.840 it's in the same studio. 0:00:32.040 --> 0:00:35.279 We've got a good backdrop. It's all the light only 0:00:35.320 --> 0:00:37.600 the windows do we no, God No. All that means 0:00:37.640 --> 0:00:39.879 is people can see in here. Like we said last week, 0:00:39.920 --> 0:00:43.400 we lifted the curtains for the first time in years. 0:00:43.840 --> 0:00:46.479 The place just about burst into flames when we did, so, Yeah, 0:00:46.640 --> 0:00:48.640 it's about time. Although I do notice now that I 0:00:48.640 --> 0:00:50.239 look at it, that the curtains are actually up and 0:00:50.240 --> 0:00:52.840 you can't get back there to lower them, so. 0:00:53.320 --> 0:00:55.520 That could potentially be an oversight. But if you want 0:00:55.520 --> 0:00:59.000 to see it, you can check it out on Instagram. 0:00:59.000 --> 0:01:01.400 Look up the alternative common try collective on Instagram and 0:01:01.440 --> 0:01:04.119 you can be one of the hundred to watch it today. 0:01:05.600 --> 0:01:07.520 I've printed off four blank sheets of paper in front 0:01:07.520 --> 0:01:11.600 of me. Yeah, so what do you got. I've got 0:01:11.680 --> 0:01:13.800 one piece of paper, Yes, got some writing on it. Yes, 0:01:13.920 --> 0:01:16.280 David Nika. Yes, we went and watched him fight. Yes, 0:01:16.600 --> 0:01:17.280 Saturday night. 0:01:17.360 --> 0:01:20.720 Yep, big Runway. I tell you that I was nervous 0:01:20.720 --> 0:01:25.080 about the Runways first fight at quarter past six eleven. 0:01:25.440 --> 0:01:26.759 Yeah, not to be before eleven. 0:01:27.000 --> 0:01:31.440 Yeah, and look we're talking about full catering as well, 0:01:31.440 --> 0:01:35.200 aren't we. Yeah. And we had young Isaac on the 0:01:35.240 --> 0:01:40.000 table and she's that bucket of beers and white claws. 0:01:40.800 --> 0:01:41.480 We down did it? 0:01:41.600 --> 0:01:41.679 No? 0:01:41.840 --> 0:01:45.240 Well, what I found out was happening was they were 0:01:45.280 --> 0:01:48.120 coming over and asking him and the notorious pants ban 0:01:48.200 --> 0:01:50.760 Joel Harrison if the thing needed topping up. But I 0:01:50.800 --> 0:01:53.200 think at the same time a different person was asking 0:01:53.240 --> 0:01:55.520 you if it needed topping up as well. So when 0:01:55.840 --> 0:01:58.360 we were ordering rounds of beers, we were doubling up 0:01:58.360 --> 0:01:58.960 on ourselves. 0:01:58.960 --> 0:02:01.920 So yeah, it was like it was a mountain which yeah, 0:02:02.280 --> 0:02:04.240 and they were getting warm. Well the problem this is 0:02:04.280 --> 0:02:04.560 the thing. 0:02:04.720 --> 0:02:06.760 It also created a bit of a turbo sort of 0:02:06.800 --> 0:02:09.440 effect where it started spoiling up because people saw the 0:02:09.440 --> 0:02:11.840 amount of pass we had to get through and lifted 0:02:11.840 --> 0:02:15.679 their tempo to keep track with that. So the point 0:02:15.720 --> 0:02:18.120 where I actually had a spit take at one point 0:02:18.120 --> 0:02:20.320 where I ended up spitting my drink all over the 0:02:20.960 --> 0:02:23.880 long suffering Lauren was sitting next to me at the 0:02:23.880 --> 0:02:27.280 table because Joel Harrison is telling me a story about 0:02:27.520 --> 0:02:29.840 how he put one hundred dollars on David Yuka's fight 0:02:30.240 --> 0:02:34.320 and he was paying. He's paying a dollar, a dollar 0:02:34.360 --> 0:02:39.200 and four cents, so he vested, invested one hundred dollars 0:02:39.360 --> 0:02:42.680 and won four dollars, but it was actually a bonus bit, 0:02:42.720 --> 0:02:46.200 so he actually only won two dollars. I had the 0:02:46.200 --> 0:02:48.240 same reaction you just did then, but had a mouthful 0:02:48.280 --> 0:02:51.480 of white claw and it went all over Lauren's brand 0:02:51.520 --> 0:02:54.320 new dress. So things got pretty pear shape there. And 0:02:54.360 --> 0:02:56.840 you mentioned a long runway long time listeners of the 0:02:56.880 --> 0:02:59.720 a SEC will remember sprayed around Scotty. Yes, it was 0:03:00.080 --> 0:03:01.400 fortieth on the weekend. 0:03:01.520 --> 0:03:04.000 Yes, and here's fortieth started at two thirty in the afternoon. 0:03:04.520 --> 0:03:07.919 Yeah, so we were well and truly up for it 0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:08.799 by the time we got there. 0:03:08.880 --> 0:03:11.200 Luckily that we left spray around Scotty's party. Whim we 0:03:11.240 --> 0:03:13.960 dead because poor Joe got hit up by a person 0:03:14.000 --> 0:03:16.160 who was sticking up for the physio from England. 0:03:16.720 --> 0:03:20.440 Yeah right, Oh that whole drum Yeah yeah got resurfaced. 0:03:20.520 --> 0:03:23.280 Yeah great, that's good. I'm glad we left. And so 0:03:23.360 --> 0:03:26.200 that the fights themselves. There were four heavyweight fights on 0:03:26.240 --> 0:03:31.120 the undercard. Two of them were four round fights, and 0:03:31.200 --> 0:03:33.120 I'd sort of got that I told you before we 0:03:33.160 --> 0:03:37.120 went in there. I love betting on boxing cards and 0:03:37.320 --> 0:03:40.880 MMA cards because you can bet on that fight when 0:03:41.000 --> 0:03:43.000 or lost, then you can either reinvest or chase on 0:03:43.040 --> 0:03:43.520 the next one. 0:03:43.600 --> 0:03:43.880 Yeah. 0:03:44.480 --> 0:03:48.000 So it's quite fun punting ringside, and I got into 0:03:48.000 --> 0:03:49.800 the rhythm of things. I was like, oh, I see 0:03:49.800 --> 0:03:51.920 how these fights are gone. There are only four rounds. 0:03:52.240 --> 0:03:54.680 I'll bet on this next one to go the distance. 0:03:55.280 --> 0:03:56.760 And so I did, and they came out and said, 0:03:56.760 --> 0:03:59.480 these two gentlemen, we'll be fighting for ten rounds. I 0:03:59.520 --> 0:04:04.160 was like, oh, someone's going down, and so at that 0:04:04.240 --> 0:04:06.360 point I was kind of it's like beating the unders, 0:04:06.400 --> 0:04:09.000 you know, like you're beating against excitement. So whils I 0:04:09.040 --> 0:04:12.000 was sitting there just sweating. I don't talk about don't 0:04:12.000 --> 0:04:14.800 don'tknok about. It was a good fight in the end, 0:04:14.960 --> 0:04:18.160 and thankfully it did go the distance. Made a bit 0:04:18.200 --> 0:04:19.480 of made a bit of coin on that one. 0:04:20.120 --> 0:04:21.520 I mean in the highlight for me was the guy 0:04:21.600 --> 0:04:25.279 got smacked out of the ring. Yeah, I don't know 0:04:25.279 --> 0:04:26.840 what fight there was, my meaner the third fight of 0:04:26.880 --> 0:04:27.240 the night. 0:04:27.400 --> 0:04:29.719 As yes, the third last. It was a big heavyweight 0:04:30.120 --> 0:04:33.279 two boppers and he got knocked basically unconscious but was 0:04:33.279 --> 0:04:35.480 still sort of like staggering around and his ass went 0:04:35.520 --> 0:04:37.720 out of the thing and old mate just clubbed him 0:04:37.760 --> 0:04:40.880 again and he went flying out of the ring like 0:04:40.880 --> 0:04:44.160 a WWE fight. That was definitely highlight of the. 0:04:44.400 --> 0:04:47.480 Of the night on it I end seeing poor carpiencies 0:04:47.839 --> 0:04:49.480 kidneys burst live on stage. 0:04:49.560 --> 0:04:51.200 Yeah, so a lot of people have been asking me 0:04:51.240 --> 0:04:53.280 this morning about how I was the fight a little 0:04:53.279 --> 0:04:56.960 bit disappointing, But he actually David Yuka let him up, 0:04:57.160 --> 0:04:59.360 Like I know, the highlights didn't look that good because 0:04:59.360 --> 0:05:01.039 he just sort of took and knee and then the 0:05:01.120 --> 0:05:02.800 towel got thrown in and that was all she wrote. 0:05:02.839 --> 0:05:05.560 But it was a good fight. David Nika did light 0:05:05.640 --> 0:05:08.240 that thought up. Every time he hit his kidneys. There 0:05:08.240 --> 0:05:11.000 was a slap that went through the Vine Accident Center 0:05:11.240 --> 0:05:16.080 and the crowd just went. It wasn't cheering, it was 0:05:16.120 --> 0:05:16.560 just like. 0:05:16.480 --> 0:05:19.640 Oh yeah it was. It was like watching a man 0:05:19.680 --> 0:05:21.240 at the at the heavy bag as hard as he 0:05:21.279 --> 0:05:21.839 possibly could. 0:05:21.920 --> 0:05:23.600 Yeah, a lot of a lot of a lot more 0:05:23.640 --> 0:05:26.520 females at the event than I was expecting. Any reason, 0:05:26.560 --> 0:05:27.320 any reason for that? 0:05:27.360 --> 0:05:29.720 Do you think more than usual for a boxing card. 0:05:30.279 --> 0:05:32.600 Yeah, they might think it might be the David Niaker effect. 0:05:34.040 --> 0:05:35.920 It could be if you haven't seen on the old 0:05:35.960 --> 0:05:38.680 Instagram thing. You know, there was where they all came 0:05:38.720 --> 0:05:42.080 out the walkouts. There a lot of people crowded around. 0:05:42.760 --> 0:05:44.200 I was, I wonder if we can get away. Fist 0:05:44.200 --> 0:05:47.320 bump here on his way out and just got hung 0:05:47.320 --> 0:05:50.080 out to dry there. But thankfully the security guard he 0:05:50.200 --> 0:05:52.440 saved the day down through at the fist bump. 0:05:52.560 --> 0:05:54.880 You your first was hanging out there like an old 0:05:54.880 --> 0:05:59.000 man's naphyla, and create to you he had well and 0:05:59.040 --> 0:06:02.840 truly blanked you, Dave Nat and you just just kept 0:06:02.400 --> 0:06:04.400 the first out there like you were just like you know, 0:06:04.480 --> 0:06:08.799 I'm just I'm actually just paralyzed. And then the security 0:06:08.839 --> 0:06:11.360 guard he came back to you and then like just 0:06:11.960 --> 0:06:14.560 felt sorry for you, delivered you a first and then 0:06:14.560 --> 0:06:14.880 you were like. 0:06:15.600 --> 0:06:20.440 And then tossed me out. Yeah. So David Yuka's family 0:06:20.440 --> 0:06:22.400 were on the other side, and so he went over 0:06:22.880 --> 0:06:24.839 over to them. You can't see he's just out of shot. 0:06:24.960 --> 0:06:27.360 But I was waiting to see if he would turn 0:06:27.400 --> 0:06:30.720 around and then but no he didn't. So yeah, just 0:06:30.839 --> 0:06:35.720 utterly humiliated myself. Shut it to Jay Reeve for filming that. 0:06:37.800 --> 0:06:41.640 He dined out on that as well. I saw him 0:06:41.640 --> 0:06:42.719 when I was on the way to the toilet and. 0:06:42.680 --> 0:06:45.000 He's like, yeah, that's out, Jack Maya. 0:06:45.680 --> 0:06:47.320 This is the blank you'll ever see. 0:06:47.400 --> 0:06:49.840 Yeah, it was. It was tough to watch. I tell 0:06:49.839 --> 0:06:54.239 you what, if you're dusty, nothing will make you search 0:06:54.279 --> 0:06:56.719 your soul more than seeing footage of yourself getting blanked 0:06:56.720 --> 0:07:01.000 by David and there soon as we got there. So 0:07:01.000 --> 0:07:02.800 it's a black tie event. I don't know what the 0:07:02.839 --> 0:07:05.320 fuck that means. All I figured out is that black 0:07:05.320 --> 0:07:07.760 tie doesn't mean you actually have to wear a black tie, right. 0:07:07.760 --> 0:07:09.960 Yeah, I think it's it's strongly recommended. 0:07:10.000 --> 0:07:12.000 It's an indicator of the kind of because are in 0:07:12.040 --> 0:07:14.120 bow tyes. Yeah, but then there was dudes in T 0:07:14.240 --> 0:07:16.320 shirts and shorts there were, yeah. 0:07:16.160 --> 0:07:17.880 But I was. They were the kind of people that 0:07:17.920 --> 0:07:20.000 I wouldn't have stopped at the door. 0:07:20.120 --> 0:07:22.440 No, I think they were. They were friends and family 0:07:22.440 --> 0:07:23.640 of some of the fighters. 0:07:23.480 --> 0:07:25.040 And I think a lot of them might have paid 0:07:25.360 --> 0:07:26.320 cash for the table. 0:07:26.440 --> 0:07:30.640 Yeah. So I get there first person. We see Laura 0:07:30.680 --> 0:07:32.880 McGoldrick coming in off the long run up, but she'd 0:07:32.920 --> 0:07:35.280 been at a lady's lunch. Yeah, ladies long lunch. Then 0:07:35.280 --> 0:07:38.120 she came steaming in and she just walks up to 0:07:38.120 --> 0:07:39.760 me and grabs my shirt and goes, who the fuck 0:07:39.800 --> 0:07:43.040 were is lenen to a black tiving. I was like, Jesus, 0:07:43.120 --> 0:07:45.240 I didn't know what the rules were. I haven't been 0:07:45.280 --> 0:07:47.000 to a lot of black tie events. To be fair, 0:07:47.520 --> 0:07:53.160 this is the only shit that fits me. I was like, Oh, 0:07:53.560 --> 0:07:56.280 I thought I was looking pretty good. I went into 0:07:56.280 --> 0:07:57.120 the toilet one stage. 0:07:57.160 --> 0:08:02.360 I think it was probably eight o'clock, and the toilets 0:08:02.360 --> 0:08:05.000 were choco full of urinals and a big. 0:08:05.680 --> 0:08:08.720 Whoa, it's dressed to go by. 0:08:09.000 --> 0:08:11.920 And everyone's like yeah, yeah, and then I heard he 0:08:12.000 --> 0:08:15.200 get the funk out of here, lane, Okay, Yeah. 0:08:15.240 --> 0:08:19.000 I I went in there, used the facilities, and as 0:08:19.000 --> 0:08:21.560 I was walking out, there was a line because there 0:08:21.600 --> 0:08:24.200 were half as many sinks as there were urinals. Yeah, 0:08:24.360 --> 0:08:27.040 urinals were packed. I was like, you know what, I'm 0:08:27.080 --> 0:08:28.160 going to get away with us here. I'm just going 0:08:28.200 --> 0:08:30.560 to walk out wash you. As soon as I walked out, 0:08:30.880 --> 0:08:32.760 I just could just hear Mike Minogue from the back 0:08:32.800 --> 0:08:38.520 of the grub and so I walked out. As soon 0:08:38.559 --> 0:08:41.679 as I walked out there, producer Pugs Pugsy was there. 0:08:41.720 --> 0:08:43.679 He guess kidd mate came over and shook my head. 0:08:47.280 --> 0:08:48.960 So then, yeah, I saw Monogue later on he said, 0:08:48.960 --> 0:08:50.360 that's going to get about half an hour's worth of 0:08:50.400 --> 0:08:51.360 ear time on the big show. 0:08:51.960 --> 0:08:54.199 Wash washing hands at urinals, you have to urinating. 0:08:54.360 --> 0:08:59.800 Yeah, that's right. Well, Jason Hoyt doesn't work. I suppose. 0:09:00.000 --> 0:09:01.480 I suppose at that point you wouldn't need to wash 0:09:01.520 --> 0:09:05.400 your hands anyway. But I see that he's taken Instagram. Oh, 0:09:05.520 --> 0:09:07.240 David Yuki. He wants to go again for the end 0:09:07.280 --> 0:09:09.439 of the year. Yeah, I mean he barely got punched. 0:09:09.800 --> 0:09:11.920 Nah, no, not at all. I mean yeah, And I 0:09:11.960 --> 0:09:13.360 think he said that when we talk to him. He 0:09:13.360 --> 0:09:15.600 wants to, you know, just road to the title. He 0:09:15.640 --> 0:09:18.680 wants to be fighting, you know, every four or five months. Yeah, 0:09:18.800 --> 0:09:20.280 having something on the card, so yeah, but the end 0:09:20.320 --> 0:09:21.640 of the year, it'd be great to do it again. 0:09:22.040 --> 0:09:24.560 Yeah, he's just gonna need to find someone because I think, 0:09:24.800 --> 0:09:26.839 like as good as that carp and C dude was, 0:09:26.880 --> 0:09:29.120 at some point in his career, I think it was 0:09:29.120 --> 0:09:31.040 a bit of a shell of himself, to be fair. 0:09:31.080 --> 0:09:33.400 He did fight only like a month or two ago 0:09:33.640 --> 0:09:36.520 that Carpenin Feller, and then he took the fight on 0:09:36.559 --> 0:09:39.520 three weeks notice. So he wasn't, you know, in tiptop shape, 0:09:39.520 --> 0:09:41.640 but he got pieced up. It would be good to 0:09:41.679 --> 0:09:44.360 see him go against a little bit stiffer competition, maybe 0:09:44.360 --> 0:09:46.079 someone we've heard of, although I haven't heard of any 0:09:46.120 --> 0:09:49.280 of the people in the Cruisewe No division, so be 0:09:49.320 --> 0:09:52.840 interesting to see. But I'd like to go again. There's 0:09:52.840 --> 0:09:55.240 something in the air when you're at the boxing. I 0:09:55.320 --> 0:09:58.480 will will not though. There's something I noticed the last 0:09:58.480 --> 0:10:01.439 time I went to a boxing event. The crowd's way quieter, 0:10:02.440 --> 0:10:04.560 like you can hear a pin drop in there for 0:10:04.600 --> 0:10:05.120 some reason. 0:10:05.240 --> 0:10:07.600 Yeah, we had a friends and family table behind us 0:10:07.600 --> 0:10:09.640 of one of the fighters that yeah, they were going 0:10:09.760 --> 0:10:11.120 nuts with My ears were ringing. 0:10:11.280 --> 0:10:13.480 Yeah, for one of the fighters. This girl's screaming the 0:10:13.600 --> 0:10:15.160 entire time, but for the rest of it you could 0:10:15.160 --> 0:10:18.120 basically hear people's cutlery and yeah, shit, I think it's 0:10:18.160 --> 0:10:21.560 partly tension, partly the fact you're all sitting around tables 0:10:21.880 --> 0:10:23.160 having dinner. 0:10:23.240 --> 0:10:25.880 Yeah, that's that's a bit strange. Yeah, eating a steak 0:10:25.920 --> 0:10:28.200 while some guy was getting his head pounded and about 0:10:28.240 --> 0:10:29.200 ten meters away from you. 0:10:31.760 --> 0:10:34.640 I'd rather be here than in there. Yeah, But shout 0:10:34.640 --> 0:10:36.120 out to them, and shout out to Duke for having 0:10:36.200 --> 0:10:37.080 us there as well. 0:10:37.120 --> 0:10:37.320 Yeah. 0:10:37.880 --> 0:10:39.920 Hopefully if they get another fight, we can get David 0:10:39.960 --> 0:10:42.480 back in here. I can sort of yea, my grievance 0:10:42.520 --> 0:10:44.319 with him just leaving me hanging yeap. 0:10:44.400 --> 0:10:45.480 I can't wait to show them the video. 0:10:45.520 --> 0:10:48.720 Actually, yeah, hopefully I've seen it. Hopefully it feels terrible 0:10:48.720 --> 0:10:50.840 about it. All right, let's take quick break. We'll come 0:10:50.880 --> 0:10:54.400 back and talk a bit more sport. I want to 0:10:54.400 --> 0:10:56.960 start with the Black Cats because they're playing Tri Lanka 0:10:56.960 --> 0:10:58.960 in the first of two tests this week. 0:10:59.040 --> 0:11:01.439 Yes, scoll on when ball on Wednesday. 0:11:02.280 --> 0:11:04.760 These two tests are part of the World Test Championship, 0:11:04.800 --> 0:11:07.680 correct which I've had a look at the standings. At 0:11:07.720 --> 0:11:10.920 the moment, we sit third on the latter behind India 0:11:10.920 --> 0:11:14.640 and Australia. We've played six matches Ossie have played nine. 0:11:14.679 --> 0:11:18.319 In India have played twelve. That's ridiculous, but that works 0:11:18.320 --> 0:11:22.600 in our favor because it's win percentage. It's the amount 0:11:22.600 --> 0:11:24.640 of points that were available. How many of those have 0:11:24.679 --> 0:11:26.920 you won? You get twelve points for a word. It's 0:11:27.000 --> 0:11:29.440 very cricket. It's very confusing. Duckworth Lewis must have come 0:11:29.480 --> 0:11:32.719 up with this fucking system. We're on thirty six I 0:11:32.720 --> 0:11:37.920 think Australia on like ninety. England have played sixteen Test matches. Yeah, 0:11:38.000 --> 0:11:42.080 which unfortunately drops them down to rank sixth because they've 0:11:42.080 --> 0:11:44.120 had more opportunity to lose than anyone else. 0:11:44.200 --> 0:11:46.120 Yeah, and they lose. When they lose, they lose hard 0:11:46.440 --> 0:11:48.080 because they go for baswell. 0:11:48.559 --> 0:11:50.880 But the interesting part about this test is not that 0:11:50.920 --> 0:11:52.840 it starts on Wednesday. It's not that we're third on 0:11:52.880 --> 0:11:54.720 the table. It's that we're taking a day off in 0:11:54.760 --> 0:11:56.679 the middle of it. Have you've seen this? So it 0:11:56.720 --> 0:12:02.000 starts Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, then they take Saturday off, then 0:12:02.040 --> 0:12:04.520 they pick back up Sunday Monday. So this is going 0:12:04.559 --> 0:12:06.760 to be a six day test all told. Because Sri 0:12:06.880 --> 0:12:10.240 Lanka's election is on the Saturday. They can't have any 0:12:10.280 --> 0:12:12.760 security there, so that's taking the day off so over 0:12:12.880 --> 0:12:15.240 and can go I guess, or maybe it's because they 0:12:15.280 --> 0:12:17.960 want to make sure that, you know, enough people vote 0:12:17.960 --> 0:12:18.440 in the election. 0:12:18.720 --> 0:12:21.160 Just set up a voting booth in the stadium, Yeah, 0:12:21.559 --> 0:12:23.199 have people vote on their way in. I think it's 0:12:23.200 --> 0:12:25.960 more of security things. I know in India you cannot 0:12:25.960 --> 0:12:28.880 tour India during any sort of elections because they can't 0:12:28.920 --> 0:12:32.520 guarantee security for the event, right, because it's around the elections. 0:12:32.559 --> 0:12:36.000 I think it's probably more around that. But rain is 0:12:36.080 --> 0:12:38.880 forecast for the first five days of this test. Awesome, 0:12:38.920 --> 0:12:40.720 Well it's a six day test, yes, and the sixth 0:12:40.760 --> 0:12:42.160 day beautiful sunshine. 0:12:42.200 --> 0:12:44.320 Well, we'll get to get one day of action. Yeah, 0:12:44.400 --> 0:12:45.480 and an election result. 0:12:45.520 --> 0:12:47.480 I think they've got better drainage in Gaul than they 0:12:47.480 --> 0:12:49.400 have it in the India. Girl has been around for 0:12:49.400 --> 0:12:52.800 a long time. Beautiful, beautiful stadium. It's got like a 0:12:52.840 --> 0:12:55.679 fort running around it next to the ocean, I know 0:12:55.800 --> 0:12:59.240 the one. Yeah, and it's quite it's quite a ground 0:12:59.280 --> 0:13:01.520 that's quite close to Kiwi's hearts as well, because when 0:13:01.559 --> 0:13:05.200 the tsunami hit, you know, the boxing Day tsunami. That's 0:13:05.320 --> 0:13:10.680 that ground absolutely totaled and New Zealand Cricket and New 0:13:10.760 --> 0:13:14.280 Zealand were quite instrumental in rebuilding that right, helping rebuild 0:13:14.280 --> 0:13:17.640 that stadium in that ground. So it's an amazing place. 0:13:17.720 --> 0:13:19.439 It's like the locations awesome. 0:13:19.640 --> 0:13:19.880 Yeah. 0:13:20.040 --> 0:13:22.560 I's just hope it doesn't fucking rain the whole time. 0:13:22.679 --> 0:13:25.360 Nahor there's no tsunamis. Have you ever been to Sri 0:13:25.440 --> 0:13:26.000 Lanka before? 0:13:26.040 --> 0:13:27.160 Yeah, I've heard. 0:13:27.240 --> 0:13:28.839 I've heard nothing but great things about it. 0:13:29.280 --> 0:13:31.520 That is a great place. You have to ignore the 0:13:31.559 --> 0:13:33.200 fact that you know, there was some sort of genocide 0:13:33.200 --> 0:13:36.920 happened up in the hills with the canils. But it 0:13:37.120 --> 0:13:42.560 is what you'd say are manageable India. Yeah, it's smaller, Yeah, 0:13:42.679 --> 0:13:45.760 you can kind of drive around. It's got some great beaches, 0:13:45.840 --> 0:13:48.960 great wildlife, great wildlife. They've got like a Safari park 0:13:48.960 --> 0:13:51.040 in the liver where you can go and see leopards 0:13:51.080 --> 0:13:57.120 and crocodiles and elephants and and there there native birders, 0:13:57.240 --> 0:14:00.000 a jungle fowl which is a jungle chicken. Oh yeah, 0:14:00.400 --> 0:14:02.640 they've got heaps of these jungle chickens running around and 0:14:02.679 --> 0:14:05.800 they've got tea plantations up in the mountains as well. 0:14:06.000 --> 0:14:08.080 They've got their famous train ride that all those Instagram 0:14:08.120 --> 0:14:12.880 woundersoos themselves on it. I would highly recommend it. It's 0:14:13.160 --> 0:14:14.480 like I was saying, if you're too scared to go 0:14:14.520 --> 0:14:18.280 to India because it's a massive humanity Sri Lanka is here, 0:14:18.520 --> 0:14:21.880 is he more manageable? And the national sport rugby? Yeah, 0:14:22.000 --> 0:14:23.640 they fucking love rugby. Really. 0:14:23.880 --> 0:14:25.800 They obviously suck at it though, because they're never at 0:14:25.840 --> 0:14:26.320 the World Cup. 0:14:26.360 --> 0:14:28.160 No, but you go over there and there's a lot 0:14:28.320 --> 0:14:33.240 of how you say it, contracted overseas players right there, 0:14:33.280 --> 0:14:36.920 like loads of fig and dues, tongu and gentlemen. Yeah, 0:14:37.000 --> 0:14:39.320 because the military is quite big on rugby, so they've 0:14:39.320 --> 0:14:42.960 got the strongest team. Yeah. I was quite surprised. I 0:14:43.000 --> 0:14:44.320 had we had a guide with him were there, because 0:14:44.320 --> 0:14:45.800 you pay one hundred yueist dollars and you get a 0:14:45.880 --> 0:14:47.640 driver in a car and they take it around everywhere. 0:14:48.200 --> 0:14:50.240 And his favorite players, Richie mcare I seen him in 0:14:50.240 --> 0:14:52.200 all that ex jusey afterwards, So it's just the biggest 0:14:52.280 --> 0:14:54.800 Richie McCaw fan. So weird going to Sri Lanka and 0:14:54.840 --> 0:14:57.840 you think it's all cricket, but rugby. 0:14:57.600 --> 0:14:58.400 Yeah, it's full on it. 0:14:58.480 --> 0:14:58.720 You know. 0:14:58.720 --> 0:15:00.280 I've got a lot of friends who have been there 0:15:00.320 --> 0:15:04.400 and sent rave reviews about it. Apparently, if you ask 0:15:04.520 --> 0:15:08.000 the right way, they're not averse to the fucking mana's. 0:15:07.720 --> 0:15:10.480 Over there, Oh no, especially on the beaches surf beaches. 0:15:11.160 --> 0:15:14.920 Or apparently through the Safari Park where one of my 0:15:14.960 --> 0:15:17.960 friends allegedly had been offered the fucking manas and then 0:15:18.280 --> 0:15:20.440 stone to the girls watching a leopard drag a deer 0:15:20.440 --> 0:15:21.240 into a tree. 0:15:24.280 --> 0:15:26.560 We went through the Safari Park with our guide and 0:15:27.040 --> 0:15:30.880 we hadn't seen a leopard, and he was pretty guarded 0:15:30.880 --> 0:15:33.040 that we hadn't provided a leopard for us. So you 0:15:33.600 --> 0:15:35.640 have to be out of the park by six pm 0:15:35.680 --> 0:15:38.400 otherwise the guides get fined and everything. And it was 0:15:38.480 --> 0:15:41.200 well past six and he saw a leopard in the distance, 0:15:41.360 --> 0:15:43.560 and so we saw the leopard, took fight, came ran 0:15:43.680 --> 0:15:46.560 right past us, went onto the bush and he's like, okay, 0:15:46.560 --> 0:15:47.920 we have to go now, but I just have to 0:15:47.920 --> 0:15:49.480 do one more thing, and he popped the boot off 0:15:49.520 --> 0:15:52.240 the the jeep open, put his hands all through the grease, 0:15:52.240 --> 0:15:54.480 greased up his face and everything all over his head, 0:15:55.120 --> 0:15:57.600 and then bum rushed the gate and said he'd broken 0:15:57.640 --> 0:16:03.360 down and he had to fix the good know what 0:16:03.400 --> 0:16:05.720 he was like, what's he doing? Because he was like, 0:16:05.920 --> 0:16:08.520 did the things they've broken down? I had to appear 0:16:09.080 --> 0:16:11.080 to change the oil and like he was just covered, 0:16:11.160 --> 0:16:12.920 covered himself and ship. It was so good. 0:16:13.280 --> 0:16:15.240 They would have seen him coming off. He comes home 0:16:15.280 --> 0:16:18.480 made again, he's going to try that he's broken down. 0:16:18.480 --> 0:16:20.640 Excuse Yeah, I can't be bothered with an argument today. 0:16:20.720 --> 0:16:21.920 Just let him go now. 0:16:22.040 --> 0:16:25.360 Highly recommend you, if you get a chance, get over there, 0:16:25.440 --> 0:16:27.280 get out of You're flying to Columbo and you get 0:16:27.320 --> 0:16:30.000 the fuck out of there. And he'd straight up to 0:16:30.720 --> 0:16:33.720 kind of candy up in the mountains. Yeah, gol on 0:16:33.840 --> 0:16:35.600 the coast. If you're a surfing too, they've got great 0:16:35.640 --> 0:16:36.200 surf beaches. 0:16:36.240 --> 0:16:39.320 Maybe that should be one of our next trips. 0:16:39.440 --> 0:16:41.080 Yeah. And that's where they fish off the poles. You 0:16:41.080 --> 0:16:42.720 know you see those dudes standing on poles. 0:16:42.920 --> 0:16:44.200 Oh, yeah, that's where they do that. 0:16:44.440 --> 0:16:46.800 Oh it's crazy. They're just at the top of his pole, 0:16:46.920 --> 0:16:49.760 just catching tiny fish and just tucking into get. 0:16:49.560 --> 0:16:53.480 A boat like Pilchards. Yeah, powerful stuff. The NBC across 0:16:53.520 --> 0:16:57.440 the weekend. You will be heartbroken to know that has 0:16:57.480 --> 0:17:00.680 been retained the shield. Wellington did not win. It was 0:17:00.760 --> 0:17:03.760 like almost the last minute buzzerb to try to a 0:17:03.760 --> 0:17:05.639 block by the name of Kor and Tom Moyfilow. It 0:17:05.680 --> 0:17:09.720 was a tremendous try, Like this individual effort broke. Oh 0:17:09.760 --> 0:17:13.280 I made something out of nothing and then won it. Unfortunately. 0:17:13.320 --> 0:17:15.320 Does that mean we've cursed Wellington? 0:17:15.880 --> 0:17:20.680 Yeah? Well look Brad Shields, nice guy. Yeah, terrifying man. 0:17:21.040 --> 0:17:22.879 I wouldn't want to get on his bed side. You 0:17:22.960 --> 0:17:26.200 may have correct, Yeah, because he did say, we said 0:17:26.400 --> 0:17:28.000 why you see, we'll talk to you after you win 0:17:28.000 --> 0:17:28.399 the shield. 0:17:28.440 --> 0:17:29.879 I was hoping this wouldn't be brought up. 0:17:30.200 --> 0:17:32.040 And then he said, have you dis cursed us? But 0:17:32.160 --> 0:17:35.200 I don't. We don't. We don't have a history in cursing. 0:17:35.480 --> 0:17:37.600 No. Yeah, I did say, well, if you win the shield, 0:17:37.640 --> 0:17:39.520 you left to come on this weekend. And I was 0:17:39.520 --> 0:17:43.320 saying after after we interviewed him, I was like, I 0:17:43.359 --> 0:17:45.280
