Speaker 1: Live from the Export Beer Gun Studio and brought to you,
Speaker 1: as always by Export Ultra the bear for here. This
Speaker 1: is the Agenda Podcast for Friday, the fourth of October.
Speaker 2: The Agenda Podcast, the home of Sporting Nonsense and clap Trap,
Speaker 2: brought to you by Next Sport a Vulture, and.
Speaker 1: It's been an emotional Friday Morning Lane. It has the
Speaker 1: last ever show of the Matt and Jerry Show.
Speaker 3: Yeah, those who don't know, we live in very close
Speaker 3: quarters to Radio Hodaki, about probably about ten meters away
Speaker 3: from their studio. Yes, and you know the Alternative Commentary
Speaker 3: Collective is, you know, very heavily linked towards Hadaki. There
Speaker 3: the Matt and Jerry Show, their very first show was
Speaker 3: the day after the very first ACC broadcast. Is that
Speaker 3: a Rightah and Hawk's Bay. It was New Zealand versus
Speaker 3: India and Hawk's Bay in twenty fourteen, and Matt and
Speaker 3: Jerry they'd just done the deal the week before, They
Speaker 3: flew out early from Napier and left myself, Jason Hoyt
Speaker 3: and Lee Hart to do a whole innings on our
Speaker 3: own for the very first game. No fucking ony what
Speaker 3: we were doing. This is our first broadcast so we
Speaker 3: were exhausted by the end of it. But then the
Speaker 3: next morning that was the very first metten Jerry show.
Speaker 3: Yeah wow, So we've kind of grown up together, the
Speaker 3: ACC and the Mett and Jerry Show.
Speaker 1: I mean, I can't remember a time when Matt and
Speaker 1: Jerry went on Radio Hodacky because of course they don't
Speaker 1: have a frequency in South Canbury, so it wasn't until
Speaker 1: I left South Canerbury that I'd even heard Radio Hodaky,
Speaker 1: to the point where when I started working there, my
Speaker 1: mum thought I worked for an EV station and she
Speaker 1: was very proud of me until she one day drove
Speaker 1: up to christ Church and heard what was going on
Speaker 1: on that radio station. She was just like, oh, not
Speaker 1: so proud. I was that what you're doing up there?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Okay, so yeah, it's been a long time. Like I said,
Speaker 1: I can't remember a time when they went there. And
Speaker 1: actually my first week at Hadaky it must have been
Speaker 1: like twenty seventeen. I think my first week the radio
Speaker 1: awards were on. Oh year, old school Radio Awards. Too,
Speaker 1: old school Radio Awards.
Speaker 4: I even knew. I didn't know what it was all about.
Speaker 1: So I put my singing hand suit on, dressed like
Speaker 1: a bouncer or a bus driver down to the awards.
Speaker 1: Chud Marcus Lush's ear off for about an hour howling
Speaker 1: demons the next morning, and then that night. Throughout that
Speaker 1: night was the first time I'd heard and I think
Speaker 1: the first time he had done it.
Speaker 4: That Heath was doing the new drink. What I give
Speaker 4: you boy.
Speaker 3: I think that was the night that was born. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I do that. It's triggering met.
Speaker 1: And the next morning I came in and he was
Speaker 1: still doing it. He hadn't landed the plane. I'd been home,
Speaker 1: slapped the mailbox and come back into work again. And
Speaker 1: so we all went to the pub just up the
Speaker 1: road there, and he'd found a walking stick somewhere and
Speaker 1: we were sitting there drinking beers from about ten o'clock
Speaker 1: in the morning, and he kept tapping my drink whenever
Speaker 1: I'd finish it. You got ordered back to work about
Speaker 1: three or four times throughout the day. So my boss,
Speaker 1: I'd just been hired to work in promos and my
Speaker 1: boss doesn't work Ahodo anymore. Who wasn't you He keep
Speaker 1: coming back to the public, Hey, man, I are you
Speaker 1: going to come back? Because you've got that thing that
Speaker 1: he needed to finish, and I was like, yeah, I'll
Speaker 1: be back going to and then Heath will be like,
Speaker 1: you got to give you words, Chap, you tap your
Speaker 1: glass tapping my glass with his walking stick. Cut to
Speaker 1: about four o'clock in the afternoon, I'm piggybacking Heath's back
Speaker 1: from the pub to the work drinks. We get into
Speaker 1: some sort of weird shouting match, blacked out drunk at
Speaker 1: the bar. This is my first Friday at Radio HOKI.
Speaker 1: On Monday morning, I was dragged into a meeting with
Speaker 1: my boss and my boss's boss and reminded that I
Speaker 1: was still on my ninety day trial, that it was
Speaker 1: a violation of the Drug and Alcohol Policydians in me
Speaker 1: to be intoxicated during work hours, that's bullshit and yeah yeah,
Speaker 1: got dragged into a windowless room and told how pasted
Speaker 1: off they were.
Speaker 3: Ah yeah, but I think there was more jealousy than
Speaker 3: passed off. To be honest, we didn't. I think we
Speaker 3: did quite well at that Radio Awards. I believe I
Speaker 3: couldn't tell. And but yeah, his drink when I give
Speaker 3: you Boy, did have kind of undertones of slavery, Yes, yeah,
Speaker 3: which which was an issue.
Speaker 1: It was problematic yeah. It happened twice, so that I
Speaker 1: think the next time it had happened the TV Awards
Speaker 1: maybe oh yeah, yeah, And he again didn't land the plane.
Speaker 1: I think this was when he slipped in the studio.
Speaker 3: That was the one time that I have actually had
Speaker 3: to go in and take him off here. At about
Speaker 3: eight am, I went in and went arkaate, that's enough,
Speaker 3: and he goes, what do you mean. I said, that's enough,
Speaker 3: that's enough. He and I kicked him off here and
Speaker 3: then I said just go out and grab some breakfast
Speaker 3: or something, but you've done. And then there was cricket
Speaker 3: commentary on that day starting at eleven am a one day,
Speaker 3: and he was scheduled to be on that. And I
Speaker 3: texted him and said he just went from there to
Speaker 3: the pub and because he hadn't landed the plane, they
Speaker 3: had won the Best New Zealand's Kids Show for Harbood City.
Speaker 3: And I said, I don't worry about the cricket, mate,
Speaker 3: just so you can stay at the pub. And I
Speaker 3: got the most heated response back, full of explete ifs,
Speaker 3: full of how much you know. I won't go into
Speaker 3: the details, but and I just wrote back, thanks mate,
Speaker 3: and more expletifs. And then I knew that the next
Speaker 3: day he was going to wake up and I sent
Speaker 3: a message saying, hey mate, how are you? And he
Speaker 3: was going to have to see the transcription of the
Speaker 3: last and he wrote the biggest mere Kulpa backs man.
Speaker 3: He was so ashamed of what even that breakfast show
Speaker 3: and everything, and he was just like and one of
Speaker 3: these demons. I think that might have instigated him taken
Speaker 3: a spell on the bench for a few months, a
Speaker 3: year or two. Yeah, it was God blessing, bounce back,
Speaker 3: got back on it. But this morning was being quite emotional.
Speaker 3: Jerry broke down. It's the eleven years the children have
Speaker 3: grown up together. They are both his children are both
Speaker 3: quite young now, they're teenagers, so they've been through quite
Speaker 3: a lot. But the show will go on. Jeremy will
Speaker 3: be on air on Monday, and good news for the
Speaker 3: agenda listeners me and you'll be filling in. Not good
Speaker 3: news for anyone else, but I'm filling in a few days.
Speaker 3: You're filling in a few days. We're just going to
Speaker 3: get Jeremy through it to the end of the year
Speaker 3: and then see where it takes us.
Speaker 4: Scrape in the bottom of the barrel.
Speaker 3: Well, I think it's because we're just the closest you know.
Speaker 3: You know, it's like at the end of the night
Speaker 3: when people are looking to hook up and they look
Speaker 3: around the room and say, oh, you'll do.
Speaker 1: They'll flick the lights on and it's man laying in
Speaker 1: the corner of the bar and they're like, three hours ago,
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have three years ago, wouldn't. But you know,
Speaker 1: now nothing else going, we need someone, so tune in radio.
Speaker 1: I heard akuy Monday morning and I was on later
Speaker 1: on in the week. I'll do Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and night.
Speaker 3: I was going Tuesday Friday and then I think we're
Speaker 3: going to take team Jerry from then on, which is
Speaker 3: the only way to take tackle Jerry. Actually, he's a
Speaker 3: lot of human.
Speaker 1: Here's a lot. There's a lot of Jerry. Here's a
Speaker 1: lot to do with you. I'm looking forward to it.
Speaker 1: But said an exciting day. They'll be massively on the
Speaker 1: hose I reckon for the rest of the day.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, but poor Jerry has to do siven sharp
Speaker 3: so he couldn't find someone to step in. I said
Speaker 3: I'll do it. I said I'd do it. He's like
Speaker 3: I don't know how I'll take you. Yeah, what's dandel
Speaker 3: Well that's he's asked everyone and anyone's bang, fuck off,
Speaker 3: it's Friday.
Speaker 1: Well then he should have said to whoever runs that,
Speaker 1: just said, look, okay, i'll do it.
Speaker 4: I'm still gone to the pub.
Speaker 3: I don't know how well that translates, okay with the
Speaker 3: ACC and with I'm not so sure about the national broadcast.
Speaker 1: I know, but they want him there, so he should
Speaker 1: just be like, look, I have asked for the day off,
Speaker 1: you've declined it. I will come in, but I'm not
Speaker 1: adjusting my you know, my leave plans.
Speaker 3: I'm not sure it's the right environment at the moment
Speaker 3: to start swinging your deck around like that. It's a
Speaker 3: very it's a time when you keep your just below.
Speaker 1: The parapet But he's obviously not replaceable because they can't
Speaker 1: find anyone.
Speaker 3: So, you know, just a film on a Friday, the
Speaker 3: this struggling. But I'm sure that the vultures will be
Speaker 3: circling if it's a full time gig.
Speaker 1: Yeah, true, because if he really got canceled, they'd be like, well,
Speaker 1: if he's getting canceled, we could just bring Paul Henry back.
Speaker 3: You know, so what's the point that's true? Mike and
Speaker 3: IgG told a great story on Breakfast this morning as
Speaker 3: well when he was on the Mata Jewish show about
Speaker 3: how he got involved in the acc and he said
Speaker 3: it was potentially the most regrettable night of his life.
Speaker 3: He was so wasted in Wellington and he bumped into
Speaker 3: all of us and he ended up drinking at the
Speaker 3: bar with Joe Jury and I and he said he
Speaker 3: wake up in the morning with so many demons. He
Speaker 3: stopped drinking for one hundred days. And then he got
Speaker 3: a call the next day saying, you want to go
Speaker 3: on the acc you got You're very funny. He's so
Speaker 3: embarrassed about it, yet it got on the job heading us. Absolutely,
Speaker 3: he did threatened to have sex with jo Jurry that night,
Speaker 3: but that was that's a sorry was.
Speaker 1: It a three through proposition? So that'll be how the
Speaker 1: rest of this day plays out. We've still got the
Speaker 1: sports book. Later on this morning, Carl will be on
Speaker 1: the line, so we'll give you a few tips to
Speaker 1: take with you unto your weekend. But just before we
Speaker 1: take a break, this is going to be a full
Speaker 1: yours please special.
Speaker 3: We've got about ten of them.
Speaker 1: To get through all of the burning unanswered questions from
Speaker 1: our trip around Europe. But before we get to those,
Speaker 1: we are selling a ute and what I would describe
Speaker 1: as one of the greatest owned goals, not just by
Speaker 1: the ACC but particularly by me. So we've teamed up
Speaker 1: with Auto Trader, who want you to tell New Zealand
Speaker 1: about your car. There's I've been a long history of
Speaker 1: buying and selling cars here in New Zealand. You know,
Speaker 1: we love the second hand car market in New Zealand's
Speaker 1: bigger I reckon per capita than anywhere.
Speaker 3: It's a national pastime.
Speaker 1: It is a national pastime and we're shit at it.
Speaker 1: And that's why I Auto Trader want to try and
Speaker 1: give you a few tips as to how to sell
Speaker 1: your car. And so they've asked us to try and
Speaker 1: you know, help you guys with your tips. We've got
Speaker 1: a car and we said, oh, look, we'll dress our
Speaker 1: car up as if we're going to sell it. And
Speaker 1: then we thought, well, let's just sell the thing. If
Speaker 1: we're going to do it is if we're going to
Speaker 1: sell it, let's just sell it. And that's a massive
Speaker 1: own goal on my behalf because I drive that to
Speaker 1: work every day.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and also we've done it up now and it
Speaker 3: looks mint, it looks sick.
Speaker 1: So I don't know if you've seen it before. In fact,
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't want to reveal too much.
Speaker 3: I don't. It's a ninety ninety eight Ford Falcon and
Speaker 3: it was straight six. Yeah, it was. It was before.
Speaker 3: It's the slanty eyed one. It's the one before they
Speaker 3: went to the new model. So they remember they had
Speaker 3: the grill at the front used to be for the
Speaker 3: Ford Falcon has to have the straight grill at the
Speaker 3: front with a square lights or the big tangle lights.
Speaker 3: And then they tried to go modern and they did
Speaker 3: it for like two years and it was terrible look
Speaker 3: with the skinny little head lights. That's that one, the
Speaker 3: ninety eight model, and we've done it.
Speaker 4: Up and humming at the moment, and it is an
Speaker 4: older car.
Speaker 3: And we are going to sell it, but we are
Speaker 3: giving all the proceeds that goes to November in z
Speaker 3: and it's going to happen later in November obviously. But yeah,
Speaker 3: it is an own goal because you and Joe Dury
Speaker 3: love driving that day.
Speaker 4: It's the best.
Speaker 1: It's the best thing, just humming along in that motorway
Speaker 1: idols at about eighty ks an hour.
Speaker 3: I mean it guzzles a lot of gas. Yes, it does.
Speaker 1: And the weirdest part about the way it used to
Speaker 1: be wrapped was it had the acc all down the
Speaker 1: side of it. Storm Purvose's face was on the petrol cap.
Speaker 1: Well there was, so whenever you go to fuel up,
Speaker 1: you just have to pull stormur face off and just
Speaker 1: slam the old nozzles straight down her throat and just
Speaker 1: pump the thing full of gas.
Speaker 4: So apologies, storm Purpose, but.
Speaker 3: That's gone now. We got rid of that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it also if you because there's a bit
Speaker 1: of a dicky little petrol cap there. If you missed it,
Speaker 1: it would just you put the cat back on. There's
Speaker 1: just storm Purvos were just petrol pouring out of her mouth.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we did donut sindn't we mount smart in it
Speaker 3: for the one of the videos, and it was just
Speaker 3: absolutely passing out the whole Yes.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's slow mo footage of that that will go
Speaker 1: out in the next few weeks. But anyway, we're going
Speaker 1: to give you a few tips as to how to
Speaker 1: sell your car. Obviously, one of them is to make
Speaker 1: sure that it's looking good, which we have done.
Speaker 3: I don't want to.
Speaker 1: Spoil too much of it, but there'll be a video
Speaker 1: of there's no longer storm purpose dribbling petrol out of
Speaker 1: her mouth. So it's been completely over overhauled. And that's
Speaker 1: probably tip number one. Make sure your car looks as
Speaker 1: presentable as possible. There's a few practical tips around basics. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's basics. There's a few practical tips around, like camera
Speaker 1: angle and height of the photos that you take. Because god,
Speaker 1: there's a dog ship photos.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you've got to take him at Wingmarra height. It's
Speaker 3: a key. And taking fie a well. And sunset sunrise
Speaker 3: is the best lighting if any if you haven't got
Speaker 3: any lighting that we have in the studio here, that's
Speaker 3: the best natural lighting to get. Not full you don't
Speaker 3: want full blazing midday sun. That's terrible for photos.
Speaker 1: So go and check all those videos out on our
Speaker 1: socials and on our website and tell New Zealand about
Speaker 1: your car with auto Trailer. Let's take a quick break
Speaker 1: and come back with an extended yours please, yours.
Speaker 2: Please, brought to you by Leader Home of.
Speaker 1: So while we're on the roadlane, we did a few podcasts.
Speaker 1: There've been some of the more well received podcasts, well
Speaker 1: more well listened to podcasts.
Speaker 3: Beck as Wells is on it just great content.
Speaker 1: I've had a lot of feedback, a lot of people
Speaker 1: asking me, and actually it's been quite handy because a
Speaker 1: lot of my family lift me alone while I was
Speaker 1: overseas because instead of ringing me, they could now just
Speaker 1: listen to a podcast and know what I was up
Speaker 1: to it.
Speaker 3: Well, disappointingly, my mother now I listened to the podcast
Speaker 3: because she tuned in because she just wanted to make
Speaker 3: sure I was safe. Yes, so she knew if a
Speaker 3: podcast came out and my voice was on it, I
Speaker 3: was alive.
Speaker 4: You well, you had been alive in the last twenty
Speaker 4: four else.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So just shout out to Sulane. Yes, she's probably
Speaker 3: I think she still subscribes. Yes, i'll take it. We'll
Speaker 3: take that. We'll take that download.
Speaker 1: But I know that a lot of people had a
Speaker 1: lot of questions for us, and while we're on the road,
Speaker 1: we didn't have the technical ability to play them out.
Speaker 1: So now it's the chance for you to ask us anything,
Speaker 1: any burning questions that you had about our trips.
Speaker 3: So without any further Ado first caller, yours please.
Speaker 5: Reason number four and twenty two. While this is the
Speaker 5: top raided sports podcast two years running, I think it is.
Speaker 5: Is this a sports podcast or do you guys just
Speaker 5: clap trap for thirty five minutes they do a quick
Speaker 5: recap on the cricket from the other side of the world. Anyway,
Speaker 5: I love yours. You already know.
Speaker 3: Good point and you know what it's exactly what we
Speaker 3: do because to qualify for the sports category you need
Speaker 3: a minimum of ten percent sports content. Is that what
Speaker 3: it is? And that's what we do. So we could
Speaker 3: almost enter it into I mean, we wouldn't winned to
Speaker 3: other category. This is the problem. Yeah, so we could
Speaker 3: put it into like what do other categories have? Fuck
Speaker 3: all entries? I don't know.
Speaker 4: I feel like there's the market saturated.
Speaker 3: I think there's one around, like a kind of a
Speaker 3: health and wellness there's one around kind of a Southeast
Speaker 3: Asian kind of Indian. There's an Indian seat. We mean,
Speaker 3: maybe need to do that.
Speaker 4: Oh if we just talking about cricket, we're about to
Speaker 4: play India.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, that's true. So is that that's ten percent? Yeah? Okay,
Speaker 3: we don't need to a couple of potties.
Speaker 1: I did think that about I think the first podcast
Speaker 1: that we do because none of us watched any sport,
Speaker 1: we didn't see anything. We did watch the All Blacks
Speaker 1: game at breakfast in Amsterdam. Yeah that was amazing.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And so then we do this podcast talking about rolling
Speaker 1: and dog shit and all this stuff, and then just
Speaker 1: five minutes of Earnest Rugby analysis and then back into
Speaker 1: dog shit dog shit chat.
Speaker 3: And that's how it should be, I think. And you
Speaker 3: know what I mean. I don't want to dine and
Speaker 3: do it on the dog shit thing because I've been
Speaker 3: over it. But my first morning back at my house
Speaker 3: having breakfast and my oldest son, I thought it was
Speaker 3: pretty funny. He's like, it was like dog shit said
Speaker 3: the ship. No he goes. This is not the ship
Speaker 3: he goes. And I looked at him, went, you know
Speaker 3: about the dog shit, don't you? Damn it. I was
Speaker 3: trying to get it out of you.
Speaker 1: Soon we were on a road trip to a man
Speaker 1: and my meticend in the driver's seat and he just goes.
Speaker 1: So I put the dog shit. I was like, how
Speaker 1: long have you got to goes? We have three hours
Speaker 1: until we get to muscut.
Speaker 3: I was like all right, Like I said, I've never
Speaker 3: heard you laugh like that before. It was a high
Speaker 3: Oh my god, it was a high pitched kind of
Speaker 3: wheeze squeal.
Speaker 1: I have never laughed that hard in my life. I
Speaker 1: don't think that was honestly the funniest. I was laughing
Speaker 1: so hard that I was getting paranoid. I was going
Speaker 1: to suffocate. I just yeah, we may or may not
Speaker 1: have taken part in the old psychedelic Truffles before we
Speaker 1: went out there, allegedly and reportedly, and it was there's
Speaker 1: allegedly a menu there, and it allegedly tells you what
Speaker 1: they do, like whether you see trippy visuals or you
Speaker 1: laugh real hard. We got the laugh real hard ones
Speaker 1: and that just about undid me.
Speaker 3: It was that.
Speaker 1: And then it was when I locked eyes with a
Speaker 1: kid looking at ice cream who was watching you ring
Speaker 1: dog shit out of your shirt into the town fountain.
Speaker 1: My cheese slid off my cracker. I think I'm going
Speaker 1: to die. I think I'm gonna laugh so hard I'm
Speaker 1: going to die if I survived.
Speaker 3: So just about anything, it was that.
Speaker 1: And then when Joe Jury had to shout me at
Speaker 1: dump at the train station, I still o him a dump.
Speaker 1: I tried three different credit cards. It wouldn't open. I
Speaker 1: was like, can you shout me at dump? Friends? Friends
Speaker 1: shout other friends at dump? Fifty euro since, which I
Speaker 1: think is like a dollar, Joe Jerry a dollar or
Speaker 1: a dump.
Speaker 4: But anyway, Yeah, I can't even remember the question.
Speaker 3: Another one here, please good e.
Speaker 5: Not gonna lie a little bit, a little bit sad
Speaker 5: you guys didn't say goodbye or anything.
Speaker 2: Jumped on the you chick.
Speaker 3: Check my heart radio.
Speaker 2: And there's no podcast. I'm sorry, there's no daily agenda.
Speaker 6: Come on, you didn't even say goodbye. Surely some live
Speaker 6: updates from minute.
Speaker 7: Surely some live trouble from Emsterdam.
Speaker 1: Surely, come on?
Speaker 3: Love you? Yeah, well you got all that, didn't you.
Speaker 3: We couldn't do it every day because we were We
Speaker 3: actually were in the ear for about fifty hours, so
Speaker 3: that's two days. So we would we We put what
Speaker 3: we put three out, three or four podcasts out. So yeah,
Speaker 3: I hope you got your fects of trouble and stories.
Speaker 4: It was all on the social media as well. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think we did a good job of explaining. I
Speaker 1: don't think we left much on the cutting room floor.
Speaker 1: I think she was fairly open and honest, I'm still
Speaker 1: struggling with the October fist flu.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm a week week out still, and yeah I
Speaker 3: tried to put.
Speaker 1: It off through omand but I just couldn't. Just piled
Speaker 1: up on the citterom. But yeah, sorry, I don't know
Speaker 1: if we gave a good sign off on the Friday
Speaker 1: before we left. I don't think we explained to people
Speaker 1: what was going to happen, to be honest, I don't
Speaker 1: think we knew what was going to happen. You're right,
Speaker 1: You're right, though there was a day when we were
Speaker 1: basically in transit from Amsterdam to Germany, and then there
Speaker 1: was the October first days which were a blue so
Speaker 1: there was no chance. So apologies, but hopefully you got
Speaker 1: your fix over those last few days.
Speaker 4: Another cooller here your splease?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 7: Can we just get some confirmation around Jeremy Welles's position
Speaker 7: in the plane? Is he flying business class or is
Speaker 7: he back for the peasants for once in his life?
Speaker 7: If he is business class, did he paid to bump
Speaker 7: up his own tickets to sit up there? I don't
Speaker 7: imagine he would be very comfortable back in the kettle class.
Speaker 7: Fox South Canterbury.
Speaker 3: You know, it gets good to throw down there. No,
Speaker 3: he was back with us like we were in premium
Speaker 3: premium economy. So first we were yeah, and in the
Speaker 3: second league we were economies from Dubai Amsterdam.
Speaker 1: Yes, but he did pay to move from his seat
Speaker 1: to the seat across the aisle from him, which was
Speaker 1: the one, as did you, which was the one that
Speaker 1: basically had the wall in front of it. Yeah, the
Speaker 1: bulkheads had got a bit of extra leag room there.
Speaker 1: I think it was about one hundred and twenty bucks.
Speaker 1: Was Yeah, it was well worth it.
Speaker 3: I must have met, because that's going from premium premiums
Speaker 3: not premium is great, but you still don't get to
Speaker 3: lie down. You're still setting up.
Speaker 1: The only difference I found premium economy that I think this.
Speaker 1: I don't know if the seats much bigger, but it's
Speaker 1: got a little league risk thing that kicks up that
Speaker 1: changes the game. And then you guys moved over the bulkhead,
Speaker 1: which meant me and Joe Jury were able to soop
Speaker 1: around and we both had a spear seat beside us. Now,
Speaker 1: did Jeremy get into heated negotiations with every chicken lady? Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: are there any seats in business? Are there any seats
Speaker 1: in premium economy? What would it cost me? Can I
Speaker 1: change it?
Speaker 3: But the answer was no, every time, all full. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I know. It was actually quite good to say, and
Speaker 1: you could see him being like, okay, okay.
Speaker 3: At that stage on the flight home, he was ready
Speaker 3: to pay I reckon up to up upwards of forty
Speaker 3: thousand dollars to get anything more. Get business, he asked.
Speaker 3: He even asked about first class, and they said, you
Speaker 3: sure see that that's full as well. But it is
Speaker 3: twenty five thousand dollars. Jesus Christ, if you fuck, that's
Speaker 3: a lot of money. I know, I don't think he
Speaker 3: would have pitied that, but it was full anyway. But
Speaker 3: he was in such a state and he was so
Speaker 3: shallow and lost that he was would have been I
Speaker 3: think he probably would have parted with that. Well.
Speaker 1: He was the pace center for the trip. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: I think there's no argument with that.
Speaker 3: He was the you know in the trots, you know,
Speaker 3: the guy driving the yute with with the wings. It
Speaker 3: was that we were just chasing him.
Speaker 1: I was falling off the past towards the end there,
Speaker 1: I broke at one point but yeah, but the laydown
Speaker 1: bid though, would change the game absolutely. It would be
Speaker 1: nothing to fly for seventeen hours if you had a
Speaker 1: bid and a TV.
Speaker 3: That's why you pay so much.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's why they charge you, Yeah, so much.
Speaker 1: But yes, you'll be happy to know he did try
Speaker 1: and upgrade himself at every available opportunity and was declined nothing.
Speaker 3: Caller here yours please.
Speaker 8: As Jeremy, why is the only when he's got a brain?
Speaker 3: Sell?
Speaker 1: Of course there's a fucking current in a canal toe
Speaker 1: by horses, part on the sides of tow path where
Speaker 1: the horses used to walk.
Speaker 3: I hope we're enjoyed the trip there go towpaths.
Speaker 1: I knew this when we were listening, when we were
Speaker 1: doing that podcast. We're like, someone's going to be screaming
Speaker 1: at their fucking device.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and there was that guy there. There were There
Speaker 3: is a current and a lot of canals though well,
Speaker 3: and the big canal there is, you know, the main canal, Yeah,
Speaker 3: like the Grand Canal in an Amsterdam, there's one hundred
Speaker 3: percent of current. But I think those other little ones
Speaker 3: there must be something there must be flowing some way.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 1: But the other thing we figured and I actually think
Speaker 1: I said that on that podcast, So I tried to
Speaker 1: explain about how the ropes sometimes carve a hole under
Speaker 1: the thing beside, uh what we figured out as soon
Speaker 1: as we stopped recording that podcast.
Speaker 3: We're like, oh, punting, Yeah, they punted quite a lot.
Speaker 3: They punk quite a lot for the horses. But he's right,
Speaker 3: that's why they have the cart path. That's why these
Speaker 3: are paths next to the canals as the horses were
Speaker 3: pulled them. Yeah, pull the barges. Yeah you go. Okay,
Speaker 3: it makes a lot of sense. But yeah, not a
Speaker 3: lot of winds, not a lot of current.
Speaker 4: Another call here, you're spose.
Speaker 3: Hey, guys, loving the Amsterdam chat.
Speaker 5: Little game to play while you're over there when you
Speaker 5: spot some bloke in the in the corner of your
Speaker 5: eye and you go, is he gay.
Speaker 3: Or is he just European?
Speaker 5: Because that's a bit of fun anyway, loving it.
Speaker 3: Okay, South Island, Yeah, that's what I would say to that.
Speaker 4: I reckon, then it's from the Southland.
Speaker 3: No, we didn't play that game, but next time.
Speaker 1: Great thing about Amsterdam, Europe on the whole, but Amsterdam
Speaker 1: their whole thing, and I think the Dutch is all
Speaker 1: about tolerance. I was listening to it pouring US History
Speaker 1: podcast on the way home about how Amsterdam started.
Speaker 3: Is that why they tolerated the Nazi so well?
Speaker 1: Perhaps? But that's why because you know, are the rules like,
Speaker 1: technically it is illegal to smoke weed. I actually don't
Speaker 1: know what the laws are around prostitution, but all that
Speaker 1: stuff is like in this legal gray area, right, And
Speaker 1: it's that is it is technically illegal.
Speaker 4: They just don't prosecute.
Speaker 3: They don't care. They'll let you do whatever you want.
Speaker 3: This don't be a deck.
Speaker 1: As long as you're not annoying anyone, then they'll just
Speaker 1: let you do whatever you want to do. That's why
Speaker 1: Amsterdam is the way it is. But I will agree
Speaker 1: with you. If you took a European from anywhere in
Speaker 1: Europe and just plump them into Central Hornby, people will
Speaker 1: be like, let's go over here, that's fruit. Why's he
Speaker 1: got the round glasses and the linen linen pants and
Speaker 1: that kind of thing, smoking a little thin cigarette and
Speaker 1: drinking rose exactly. But it is good to be over there.
Speaker 1: I mean, God knows what they're thinking.
Speaker 3: To me.
Speaker 1: At a certain point, I got sick of walking through
Speaker 1: the streets of Europe because I'm in bloody jandles and
Speaker 1: birkenstocks and shit, people are pointing and laughing at my feet.
Speaker 3: Yeah, with us thought about that because that's where the
Speaker 3: socks and birkenstocks, that's that's where it's come from. Yeah,
Speaker 3: don't put your beer toe jammed feet and a pair
Speaker 3: of birkenstocks.
Speaker 1: And in the Middle East, that's very uncouthed to have
Speaker 1: your knees out as a man, or particular woman, but
Speaker 1: as a man as well. I get onto a lift
Speaker 1: and these two women I could see out of the
Speaker 1: reflection in the lift that they were looking at my leags.
Speaker 3: And you reckon they turn them on?
Speaker 1: No, because they were laughing at me, and so they
Speaker 1: were sort of whispering to each other. And as they
Speaker 1: realized that I wasn't reacting to what they were saying,
Speaker 1: They're like, oh, he doesn't speak Arabic, okay, sweet, And
Speaker 1: then they started talking really loud, started laughing, and out
Speaker 1: of the corner of my eye I could see they
Speaker 1: were looking at my legs.
Speaker 4: Look at this guy also had the head scarf on,
Speaker 4: and so I was like, very.
Speaker 3: Confusing for them.
Speaker 4: There's aerobic, but there's toes are out which is hot
Speaker 4: arm I.
Speaker 1: Don't know, but anyway, Yeah, big cultural differences and that's
Speaker 1: why you travel. All right, let's take one more quick break.
Speaker 1: I think we'll come back and dust the rest of
Speaker 1: these off. All right, back into it.
Speaker 4: Another caller here, yours please good?
Speaker 8: He'll carry on, the people of dark good color being
Speaker 8: there soon, and hog tide shore that happened in the
Speaker 8: rural you yellow fun would be some carry on the
Speaker 8: news talk their heat. It's just on.
Speaker 3: Yeah, fact there was, but you know they don't care. Wow,
Speaker 3: I didn't seem to care today.
Speaker 1: It was a very very weird situation. If you haven't
Speaker 1: listened to that podcast, go back and listen to it.
Speaker 1: But I just explained that whole thing to my mum
Speaker 1: last night on the phone, how that goes. It was like,
Speaker 1: what the fuck did you watch? I was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know, some sort of international hate crime. I
Speaker 1: dare say they're probably not too stoked about it themselves
Speaker 1: there either, But I just thought that's quite It was
Speaker 1: one of the wildest things I've ever seen.
Speaker 3: You go back and listen to that podcast. It's you
Speaker 3: can see videos of that if if any any October
Speaker 3: Fiest footage it's like this big spinning wheel that you
Speaker 3: climb on and the last person to get thrown off
Speaker 3: when yeah yeah, and they've got distractions and ropes and
Speaker 3: balls swinging, the crowds chanting, and it gets faster and faster.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, that was That was full noise.
Speaker 3: A little.
Speaker 4: It's a different it's a different time over there.
Speaker 1: But I was thinking that that we are very precious
Speaker 1: about certain things here in this country, like, for example,
Speaker 1: the dish desk that I was wearing yesterday. I had
Speaker 1: to buy that to be allowed into the mosque. They
Speaker 1: wouldn't let me in without it. And that's not like
Speaker 1: a ceremonial dress. I mean it is, but they also
Speaker 1: wear that casually. That's just what they wear around. It's
Speaker 1: not like their jeans. It's their jeans. It's not like
Speaker 1: a kelt it's not like a leader hose. It's you
Speaker 1: know why, it's they wear casual.
Speaker 3: And I was always jealous when I was living there
Speaker 3: that I was in soup pants and they were all
Speaker 3: in those because they wear a slip underneath it and
Speaker 3: nothing else. And so when it's hot, as the coolest
Speaker 3: thing to wear because it's white, reflects the heat and
Speaker 3: you get the breeze up the jack seat, and here's
Speaker 3: us Europeans and Undies soup pants, just swamp passing around
Speaker 3: single little east. Yeah, so cotton shit, it's stupid.
Speaker 1: It is the most you notice that any people from
Speaker 1: hot countries, they all wear dresses.
Speaker 4: It's a lover lover.
Speaker 1: It's the dish desks and candora in India they'll wear
Speaker 1: the same shirt. Anyone from a really hot country they
Speaker 1: always wear kistan here drink. Yeah, yeah exactly. But I
Speaker 1: do know that people when I wear it back here
Speaker 1: will accuse me of hate crime for wearing it. Now,
Speaker 1: the difference might be that I'm probably gonna wear it
Speaker 1: on the piss.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're a bit touchy here. We are a bit.
Speaker 3: We're very touchy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we sort of jump the shark in some way.
Speaker 1: It's good in a lot of ways. But then you've
Speaker 1: raised a good point. It would have been that behavior
Speaker 1: definitely would have been shut down.
Speaker 3: Again.
Speaker 4: This is what it's good to travel.
Speaker 1: Go and see it somewhere else and realize why we
Speaker 1: do and don't do certain things the way we do
Speaker 1: them over here.
Speaker 4: One more coller here, yours please?
Speaker 6: Hey boys, Captain ask grave here, I'm just after some advice.
Speaker 6: Me and the boys are off on a fishing and
Speaker 6: golf trip to Cake Colder this weekend. We're leaving late
Speaker 6: Friday night, and I'm just concerned about first night fever.
Speaker 6: I know you guys suffer quite hard from it. Any
Speaker 6: tips to try and avoiding going so hard so we
Speaker 6: don't ruin our golf and fishing on Saturday. Thanks Babes,
Speaker 6: bless bless, blessed.
Speaker 3: I have no advice because I'm yet to shake the
Speaker 3: first night fever. It's something that has to be done
Speaker 3: and there's no two ways about it. Well, this is
Speaker 3: the thing about first night fever is you can't plan
Speaker 3: for it. No, And there's no.
Speaker 1: Amount of saying, oh, well, we're gonna blah blah blah
Speaker 1: blah blah. Because once you get there, I presume you're
Speaker 1: going on this trip with people that you probably haven't
Speaker 1: seen for a while a couple of weeks, might be,
Speaker 1: a couple of might be a couple of years.
Speaker 3: You will not be able to stop the first night fever.
Speaker 3: And just also don't resist it. No, don't resist it.
Speaker 1: Quite often, I think one of the you know, nature
Speaker 1: finds its way to sort of even certain things out,
Speaker 1: and I think that one of the things about first
Speaker 1: night fever, it ensures that the next night you can't
Speaker 1: go as hard, so it actually can kind of tame down,
Speaker 1: you know, the day that you have in the main activity.
Speaker 3: Also that the day you're returning home to your loved ones,
Speaker 3: you will want to return them and you want to
Speaker 3: be held and you're not in You're in a state,
Speaker 3: but you're not in a complete state. Yes, because you
Speaker 3: did that on the first night.
Speaker 1: Unfortunately for us, our first night fever, our first night
Speaker 1: fever in Amsterdam, was immense. We outlasted the bars in
Speaker 1: Amsterdam and we read like district that.
Speaker 3: Was unheard of. I can. We caught a many cab
Speaker 3: home and good to know that many cabs throughout the
Speaker 3: world are the same and rip you off and you
Speaker 3: spend ten minutes negotiating with some fuck ass he didn't
Speaker 3: want to go to travel like two kilometers. We walked
Speaker 3: around and we couldn't find a bar open in the
Speaker 3: red light district of Amsterdam.
Speaker 1: Now we found one and it was heaving. I think
Speaker 1: I described this on the podcast, but went in there.
Speaker 1: I needed to go to the toilet, so I went downstairs.
Speaker 1: There was a guy guarding the door. There was a
Speaker 1: woman with her cans out, counting tokens, which now upon reflection,
Speaker 1: may have been euros. I didn't recognize them as money,
Speaker 1: but but I actually think they were.
Speaker 3: But she was counting monopoly money. I did from a
Speaker 3: great win.
Speaker 1: But I was like, oh, they're actually just euros. Euros
Speaker 1: are funny colors. And the guys just like, what do
Speaker 1: you want.
Speaker 3: It's like, what do you mean? What do I want?
Speaker 1: The toilet? I want to go to the toilet. And
Speaker 1: he goes, oh, yeah, it's a euro to go to
Speaker 1: the toilet. So I don't have any cash. He's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: go up and get some cash and come back. But
Speaker 1: his whole demeanor was this isn't a toilet, Like that's
Speaker 1: not what we're doing down here, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, it's like when you're at high school
Speaker 1: and kids were drinking around the corner and they're like,
Speaker 1: what do you want?
Speaker 3: I don't know. I just wanted to know what you
Speaker 3: guys did too.
Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, we're doing something illegal around the corner here,
Speaker 1: so you can't come in here.
Speaker 3: So yeah, so first night.
Speaker 1: Fever, it will grip you my suggestion would be go
Speaker 1: with it, don't fight against it. Acknowledge that it's going
Speaker 1: to happen, because some of the worst blowouts are when
Speaker 1: you think that you're not going to have a blowout.
Speaker 1: So you need to acknowledge that you will. Acknowledge that
Speaker 1: you're going to have the first night fever. Make preparations.
Speaker 1: Get yourself a power aid. Yeah, it's awareness.
Speaker 4: Get some panadoles.
Speaker 1: Have a plan for how you're going to get from
Speaker 1: wherever you're going to back to where you're staying.
Speaker 3: I mean, look, if you've got golf the next morning,
Speaker 3: get your golf bag ready, you kept ready, sleeping your
Speaker 3: kit yeah, oh yeah, absolutely, go out and your golf.
Speaker 3: Go out and your golf. Yeah. Sleep at the club, yeah,
Speaker 3: sleep at the golf course. Yeah. Wake up on the
Speaker 3: first tee.
Speaker 1: These guys are going fishing. Get into your fishing gears
Speaker 1: to night before. In fact, that'd be a great way
Speaker 1: for you guys to all catch up. Get into your
Speaker 1: fishing gears on the Friday night, which is tonight, and
Speaker 1: just lean into it.
Speaker 3: Go for it.
Speaker 1: It's going to happen, because that's the thing. It's going
Speaker 1: to happen. Yeah, you can pretend it's not you can
Speaker 1: rally against it. All that's going to mean is you're
Speaker 1: not prepared when it does happen. So it's not it's
Speaker 1: like it's like an earthquake.
Speaker 3: Drill.
Speaker 1: It's not earth, but when and how strong? So make
Speaker 1: sure that you get your earthquake back prepared. So stop, drop,
Speaker 1: get under a table and hold the legs.
Speaker 3: Brilliant.
Speaker 4: All right, Hopefully that's answered all of your questions.
Speaker 3: I think.
Speaker 1: If you've got any more fire than through, just make
Speaker 1: sure you address at the top of the podcast. Hey,
Speaker 1: this is about the europe trip, the beer Gun and
Speaker 1: tour of Munich. Otherwise we'll see you later on for
