Speaker 1: Live from the Export Beer Garden studio and brought to
Speaker 1: you by the only beer I wish they did sell
Speaker 1: in Indonesia, Export Ultra. This is the Agenda Podcast for Tuesday,
Speaker 1: the eleventh of June.
Speaker 2: The Agenda Podcast, the home of sporting, nonsense and clap trap,
Speaker 2: brought to you by Export a Vulture.
Speaker 3: Morning, Late good A and I anyone would think you've
Speaker 3: been to Bali?
Speaker 1: What gives it away?
Speaker 3: And to know it's the Bintang T shirt? It's the
Speaker 3: genuine Italian maid Are they Versaci Prada Prada glasses?
Speaker 1: Prada glasses there, I've got a great deal on this show.
Speaker 1: How much did you pay for those genuine pratas? Two
Speaker 1: hundred thousand repair? Where's your tattoo? No, it's funny you
Speaker 1: say that. So I've just gotten back from Bali and
Speaker 1: you know it has changed me. But it's funny you
Speaker 1: mentioned the tattoos, because there are tattoo parlors everywhere. Yeah,
Speaker 1: absolutely everywhere. The funniest sign that I ever saw for
Speaker 1: one of them, it was hair written on a piece
Speaker 1: of cardboard that I think was from a box of beer,
Speaker 1: and it was just taped to a wall and it
Speaker 1: said three tattoos thirty dollars one needle, and I don't
Speaker 1: know why they had to specify that they were only
Speaker 1: going to use one needle.
Speaker 3: I think that's the cost saving. That's why it's only
Speaker 3: thirty Yeah.
Speaker 1: And I just love the idea of them being like, look,
Speaker 1: we can either do one tattoo on three different people
Speaker 1: or three tattoos on one person, however you want to
Speaker 1: play it. What I'm telling you is we're only going
Speaker 1: to use one needle, So do what you want with
Speaker 1: that information. The only sure I have with the one
Speaker 1: authentic two hundred thousand dollars pratas they fog up in
Speaker 1: every every single they don't look environment.
Speaker 3: They look like potentially if it was any sun, your
Speaker 3: eyeballs would be burning.
Speaker 1: Yeah that's all. You wouldn't able to see anything because
Speaker 1: they'd frost up on both sides. Just quick recap on
Speaker 1: my trip to Bali, very very but hoole focused the
Speaker 1: Indonesian trip or just you well, I mean in a way,
Speaker 1: as soon as I got there, there was we got
Speaker 1: a massage and the woman was fearless.
Speaker 3: Did sheat I've been in this situation? Did they go
Speaker 3: up the inside flying thigh and fleck up. No, I
Speaker 3: didn't have that. Chris Key, I was with him. He
Speaker 3: did have that, and his misuse was a bloke. So
Speaker 3: that was full noise. No mid one, she puts the
Speaker 3: blanket over your back. Then when she goes to rub
Speaker 3: your back, she pulled the blanket down, tucked it into
Speaker 3: my undies and pulled my undies down.
Speaker 1: Oh yes, I was like, oh boy, and then she
Speaker 1: was just right in there. I was like, God, bless you.
Speaker 1: You know, getting paid nearly enough for this. That very night,
Speaker 1: there was a massive noise outside of our villa. What
Speaker 1: had happened was the pool drained itself and then by mistake,
Speaker 1: and then the jets turned on, so they're just blasting
Speaker 1: water into an empty pool. It was loud as hell.
Speaker 1: How did you?
Speaker 3: How did who pulled the plug out on the pool?
Speaker 1: Don't know to this day, don't know, but it scared
Speaker 1: the pass out of me. So I get up to investigate.
Speaker 1: Didn't realize that my bed was actually on a platform.
Speaker 1: So I just went flying across the room, ripped the
Speaker 1: curtain off the rail, and somehow I hit the lights
Speaker 1: in one fell swoop. So my missus wakes up to
Speaker 1: the lights blasting on me, screaming, flat on my back
Speaker 1: on the floor, shangled and jangled the curtain, the curtains
Speaker 1: off the rail, just like, what the fuck is happening.
Speaker 1: I was like, sorry, I fell over, so that bruised
Speaker 1: my ass. And there's day one. This is day one. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and as you know, the scooters everywhere. So for the
Speaker 1: rest of the thing, I still have a giant bruise
Speaker 1: on my left butt cheek. For the rest of the trip,
Speaker 1: there was Yeah. I was just getting my ass powdered
Speaker 1: by these scooters. We go to a beach club. One
Speaker 1: of the people that were at the beach club with
Speaker 1: who were posing for a photo they was this dude
Speaker 1: was standing behind me and he was suffering from a
Speaker 1: bit of shrinkage to the point where it felt like
Speaker 1: I had a gun in my back while we were posing.
Speaker 1: It was so awkward. And this is all within the
Speaker 1: first forty eight hours of me being in Balley, And
Speaker 1: I was like, if the rest of this as buttle
Speaker 1: focused as the first forty eight hours, then we're in
Speaker 1: for a rough one.
Speaker 3: Are you You haven't come back with the BALLEI rash.
Speaker 1: Oh, well no, no I haven't.
Speaker 3: Whether which is people falling off scooters and just coming
Speaker 3: back with it, just road rash all over them.
Speaker 1: No, I haven't. We did rent scooters though, and that
Speaker 1: was a real relationship strengthening exercise for me and my partner.
Speaker 1: Did you get two or did you just get one?
Speaker 1: We got we just got one, so you shared it.
Speaker 1: That's that's the issue. Yeah, So she's on the back
Speaker 1: of mine. She didn't want to drive once, so I
Speaker 1: was like right out, hop on the back of mine.
Speaker 1: We got stuck in rush our traffic, which by the way,
Speaker 1: rush hour is from when the sun comes up to
Speaker 1: when it goes down. Traffic is a disaster. It is
Speaker 1: a disaster. We didn't crash it, but we did get
Speaker 1: to a point where she jumped off and threw the
Speaker 1: helmet at me and said, I'm getting a car right now. Helm.
Speaker 1: It is a a big move. Yeah, I was like
Speaker 1: fair enough. Sporting highlight of the week we watched State
Speaker 1: of Origin at a bar and Luatu with a bunch
Speaker 1: of Australians there and it was a It was a
Speaker 1: great time, great event, aside from the fact that the
Speaker 1: game was over within the first sort of ten to
Speaker 1: fifteen minutes, but it was good to just be around
Speaker 1: a bunch of ozsies watching State of Origin, don't you
Speaker 1: thingers didn't miss out on much here.
Speaker 3: Nothing much happened here last few days, So I think
Speaker 3: we can just get straight into Well.
Speaker 1: That's funny say it because I was watching from Afar.
Speaker 1: There was a live stream on one of the days
Speaker 1: and I don't know what that was. It was of
Speaker 1: you sitting in that seat that you're in right now. Comfy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it looked very comfortable at the time because you were
Speaker 1: just asleep and I was watching that from a bar
Speaker 1: in Balu. Just the fuck's going on? What have it?
Speaker 3: It's just a one day His classic kind of acc
Speaker 3: traditions is turning what was a victory into a massive loss.
Speaker 3: So I mean, this is where where I'm an award
Speaker 3: for this podcast, New Zealand's best sports podcast.
Speaker 1: Partied way too hard.
Speaker 3: I passed out in the studio, got in a lot
Speaker 3: of trouble at home, then just summon enough energy to
Speaker 3: do a podcast with poor Carl from the Tab, who
Speaker 3: I still haven't apologized to because it was the worst
Speaker 3: sports book broadcast ever, and then rolled into an agenda
Speaker 3: podcast that both Met Heath and I can't remember recording,
Speaker 3: and then and then and then passing out in this
Speaker 3: and then you know, you like to have good friends
Speaker 3: around you to rally around you, and you know, look
Speaker 3: after in the state. Then turn the cameras on me
Speaker 3: and video and live stream me sleeping in this chair
Speaker 3: for the power.
Speaker 1: Well that's the dangers of falling asleep in a seat
Speaker 1: with a camera trained on us. Yeah, this is true.
Speaker 3: I mean, look, I made so many bad decisions in
Speaker 3: that twenty four hours that I spent the next three
Speaker 3: or four days paying for it.
Speaker 1: But hey, I'm at the back of it now and hearing.
Speaker 3: Your first couple of days and Barley's made me feel
Speaker 3: a lot better.
Speaker 1: Actually, yeah, Las Siels was in this downstairs focus. Does
Speaker 1: that have someone to do with why the pillows are
Speaker 1: all screwed up on the ski? Yeah?
Speaker 3: I mean the couch was used a lot. I mean Ruder,
Speaker 3: the producer of the Met and Jury show. He was
Speaker 3: on there before me and I said, get off. He'd
Speaker 3: never liked it.
Speaker 1: He actually slept in here the week before, Yes.
Speaker 3: He did for the Met and Jerry Live podcast.
Speaker 1: And yeah, and he made a point of it. Came
Speaker 1: over to me and explained that he had not relieved himself,
Speaker 1: relieved himself anywhere in the studio while he slipped.
Speaker 3: Here, which raises some suspicions that he may have, but
Speaker 3: I didn't think you had.
Speaker 1: That's dangerous. Also with the cameras in here, Yeah, very
Speaker 1: dangerous unless that's your thing. Maybe that's what Maybe that's
Speaker 1: what did it. But while I was gone, the Cricket
Speaker 1: World Cup kicking off, and I didn't really see anything
Speaker 1: aside from that Corey Anderson beat Pakistan.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, he didn't play. He didn't do much
Speaker 3: in that game. Actually he didn't even I don't think
Speaker 3: he even bettered. No, but obviously you've just come straight
Speaker 3: back from balley Man from Mars hasn't seen much.
Speaker 1: I haven't seen anything. I saw State of Origin and
Speaker 1: that was it. It's an absolute.
Speaker 3: Shit show really because the games are in like some
Speaker 3: of them are in Guyana, which is pretty much South America,
Speaker 3: some are in West Indies, summer in Texas.
Speaker 1: Some are in New York.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so it's all wildly different. The pitch in New
Speaker 3: York is an absolute shitter. The stadium looks great, yeah baseball, No,
Speaker 3: it's a pop up saying the build it from scratch,
Speaker 3: like it's all scaffolding cave creaky type situation. Yeah, but
Speaker 3: I mean India defended one seventeen or one nineteen or
Speaker 3: whatever against Pakistan. The pictures a bit dodgy there, pittures
Speaker 3: in Guyana as slow and turns didn't help that. New
Speaker 3: Zealand turned up and absolutely shat the bet against Afghanistan.
Speaker 1: Yeah, got absolutely outplayed.
Speaker 3: In every fest of the game and now are playing
Speaker 3: for the tournament against West Indy's the hosts on Thursday
Speaker 3: at Brian Lara Academy Stadium.
Speaker 1: And but Pakistani potentially out.
Speaker 3: We're potentially out USA potentially through Afghanistani, PA potentially through
Speaker 3: but the same old constant, the best team in the
Speaker 3: competition by a long long way as Australia.
Speaker 1: That's annoying. But it is such a bizarre sort of
Speaker 1: set up, Like you said, teams all over the shop
Speaker 1: in terms of you might be playing, you must have
Speaker 1: a game in New Zealand. Yeah, I hate that for
Speaker 1: sporting events because the whole point of a World Cup
Speaker 1: is it's in one place.
Speaker 3: Well, FIFA is doing something similar in the next few years.
Speaker 3: They're doing it in I think three countries.
Speaker 1: Yes, for World Cup. Yeah, I saw that well. We've
Speaker 1: been saying this for ages. The fight island idea where
Speaker 1: we just have one sporting complex all sports events and
Speaker 1: each year you rotate through whatever it is. So this year, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's all in Qatar. This year it'll be the Olympics.
Speaker 1: Next year it's the FIFA World Cup, the year after
Speaker 1: it's whatever, and it's all played in the same spot.
Speaker 1: It's just one single place that you can go to
Speaker 1: and watch it all. It makes no sense. It also
Speaker 1: really annoys me that I was like looking forward to
Speaker 1: a bit of a cricket World Cup and we get home,
Speaker 1: We get home and already we're playing for our lives
Speaker 1: in game two. I feel like we've waited so long
Speaker 1: for this World Cup to come around and didn't. We
Speaker 1: didn't play for the first like two weeks. No, we
Speaker 1: didn't do a warm up either, didn't do any warm ups,
Speaker 1: haven't done basically anything. Now all of a sudden, it
Speaker 1: could be over on Thursday.
Speaker 3: Yeah, twelve thirty Thursday midday, twelve thirty mid day, not
Speaker 3: twelve thirty midnight. So great thing to watch long at
Speaker 3: work on Skysport nine because we're covering that one.
Speaker 1: Yep. But that's pretty much a summary.
Speaker 3: So Ifrica just held off Bangladesh overnight, needed a six
Speaker 3: off the last ball. They lost two weekends in the
Speaker 3: last over, so they shot themselves in the foot. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and needed six off the last ball. Couldn't do it,
Speaker 3: so Safka sqeaks through. There is there something weird going
Speaker 3: on at this World Cup? Or is this just a
Speaker 3: T twenty World Cup where T twenty's got so much
Speaker 3: variance that anyone could win any game.
Speaker 1: I think there's a.
Speaker 3: Few key things, like spinner's playing a massive part. Think
Speaker 3: I've seen most games I've watched, they've opened with a spinner.
Speaker 1: Right spinners are good.
Speaker 3: The West Indies have got this great left armor who
Speaker 3: basically bowls this in swinger. The he turns it away,
Speaker 3: turns it away, and then he bowls a quick in
Speaker 3: swinger and he's getting so many wickets, but a.
Speaker 1: Genuine it's not drift, it's a genuine yeah.
Speaker 3: Right, And you got Rashid Khan for Afghanistan who just
Speaker 3: owned us, absolutely owned us.
Speaker 1: He's there one mean bowler. Yeah.
Speaker 3: And then they've got the left armor who mimics Trent Bolt.
Speaker 3: He got four wickets against us. He Trent bolted us.
Speaker 3: He's about maybe ten centimeters shorter than Trent Bolt, but
Speaker 3: his action is modeled on Trent.
Speaker 1: Bolt mouth size speaks.
Speaker 3: And apart from that, it's only the action. And they
Speaker 3: did a split screen in the game against and it
Speaker 3: was like very similar.
Speaker 1: He out Tromp bolted trampone.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and he did, and he got four wickets. Rush
Speaker 3: you can't got four wickets. It was every team's got
Speaker 3: like a quite a mean strike spin bowler. Zampas playing
Speaker 3: well for Australia and we've got Satner, which you know, look,
Speaker 3: I love Satna.
Speaker 1: I said for the longest time. Not a spin bowler.
Speaker 1: He's an all arounder. He's an all rounder. He is
Speaker 1: a great bowler. But it doesn't he's not a prolific
Speaker 1: turner of the ball.
Speaker 3: So there's a lot of pressure on him and Bracewell
Speaker 3: and I don't that's that's I think that's unfair. Yeah,
Speaker 3: Lackie Ferguson he bowled well. He really put the brakes
Speaker 3: on Afghanistan. But just where we dropped catches, we misfielding,
Speaker 3: there was overthrows. It was a real tough watch and
Speaker 3: that's why we had to reform the Black Cap Supporter
Speaker 3: support group and we sold ad T shirts and people
Speaker 3: were getting people were getting around each other, people were
Speaker 3: booking scout hauls and you know, we may have we've
Speaker 3: all penciled them in for Friday. Yeah, because we've got
Speaker 3: West Indies at home. Yeah we've got it. Oh of course.
Speaker 1: So we've got a standing reservation at the Silver Band
Speaker 1: Hall and every town.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right, So you know, book the halls Friday,
Speaker 3: tune in and like if you're gonna, if you're gonna
Speaker 3: watch along and share the pain.
Speaker 1: And there's no better commentary team to do it within us.
Speaker 3: So Skysport nine on Thursday twelve thirty, What what.
Speaker 1: Do we do with that money? Because that's blood money,
Speaker 1: the money that we make, we do.
Speaker 3: We basically reinvested in buying the more stupid shit like
Speaker 3: the three hundred hip flasks we've got, oh yes, of course,
Speaker 3: which in hindsight we should have activated at the New
Speaker 3: Zealand Radio and Podcast Awards because during the ceremony they
Speaker 3: have it in a theater and alcohol's band, you like,
Speaker 3: they don't serve drinks before we should have stood outside
Speaker 3: the front and handed out acc hip flask who would
Speaker 3: have been the biggest heroes.
Speaker 1: So maybe next year. Hindsight, Eh, yeah, hindsight from the
Speaker 1: from the sounds of things, no one was thinking straight. No, okay, good,
Speaker 1: thank you. You got me back at okay speed with the
Speaker 1: Cricket World Cup. Let's take quick break. We'll come back
Speaker 1: with some more sport. The National Basketball Association finally into
Speaker 1: your favorite part of the season then, and it actually
Speaker 1: it gets your will, so you usually only churn into
Speaker 1: the finals, but against your will. This season, it seems
Speaker 1: that your kids have been keeping you up to date. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I've been involved early. Yeah, and it has. I've noticed
Speaker 1: my sisters and she's eleven about turn twelve. She loves
Speaker 1: the NBA as well. They've done a great job of
Speaker 1: wrestling the kids attention.
Speaker 3: Well, they've done. I've mentioned it before. It's a pretty
Speaker 3: simple formula. They basically haven't restricted the use of footage
Speaker 3: on any social media platform, so anyone can grab footage
Speaker 3: and put their own little highlight three altogether on TikTok, YouTube,
Speaker 3: on shorts or whatever reels and they just go for it.
Speaker 3: And so the whole time they're scrolling through NBA content. Yeah,
Speaker 3: he knows, he knows.
Speaker 1: I reckon. You know as many players as you do
Speaker 1: in the NBA. My twelve year old, Yeah he was.
Speaker 1: He's playing the PlayStation game as well. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and he's commentating when we're watching highlights.
Speaker 2: He goes, go rude.
Speaker 1: They've done a great job.
Speaker 3: They've like, you know what, whoever wants to consume this
Speaker 3: content can consume it.
Speaker 1: We're not going to be anal about it.
Speaker 3: You look at some other uh you know sports are
Speaker 3: so anal about their protective of their content that they
Speaker 3: restrict it, whereas the NBA are like, nah, man, fucking
Speaker 3: fail your boots.
Speaker 1: Yeah. And so the result of that is what they
Speaker 1: have now is these massive fan bases who don't even
Speaker 1: watch games. No, and these people I probably put myself
Speaker 1: in this category where I consume more NBA content that's
Speaker 1: adjacent to the games than I actually watch minutes of
Speaker 1: game time.
Speaker 3: I can hand on heart say my twelve years of
Speaker 3: assessment has not watched an entire game of NBA.
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3: Because I've tried to say, do you want to watch
Speaker 3: the the MAVs game, He's like, well to do that,
Speaker 3: I was just.
Speaker 1: Going to watch the highlightsighlights afterwards. Yeah, And it does
Speaker 1: it changes the way that they think of these players
Speaker 1: because all the see his highlights. Yeah, like, oh he's
Speaker 1: like this. Then you watch games like yeah, he just
Speaker 1: does that once every three games. Quite funny. This is
Speaker 1: beside the point, but a kind of relative.
Speaker 3: Luka Doncicic he thinks that Luka Doncic is the person
Speaker 3: from the Burns Co, which is a marine.
Speaker 1: Store in New Zealand.
Speaker 3: And there's a guy on the side of burns Cow
Speaker 3: if you go to Albany who's got a life jacket
Speaker 3: on and holding a water ski.
Speaker 1: And he one hundred percent sweath.
Speaker 3: He reckons it's Luka Doncic And I was like, it's
Speaker 3: not Luca donic it is Luca Donic. I was like,
Speaker 3: this is a marine supply store in Albany, New Zealander.
Speaker 3: They have not got Luca don Chiz to put a
Speaker 3: life jacket on. I'll take a photo of it next
Speaker 3: time we go parties that I've seen it through. But
Speaker 3: if you are going turning off to Albany to go
Speaker 3: to Albany more on the left hand side, have a
Speaker 3: look at the side of Burns Co. And then the
Speaker 3: dude there that my son is obsessed with that he thinks,
Speaker 3: says luk at don Chic and how did they get
Speaker 3: luc ad don Chic to pose?
Speaker 1: How did they get him to agree to it? It's
Speaker 1: funny to say that. I don't know if you've heard.
Speaker 1: Both got back from Bali and there was a there's
Speaker 1: signs everywhere for this, like pedals big over there, like pickleballs.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah yeah, And one franchise of pedal court uses
Speaker 1: Cristiano Ronaldo as the image and they've like crudely bunshot
Speaker 1: the racket into his head and it's like he doesn't
Speaker 1: know that's there. Yeah, what what's he gonna do about it?
Speaker 1: First of all, all like, is he's just that call
Speaker 1: that people have? Oh, work it? So I'll go there
Speaker 1: because surely you throw Confederer or Jocovich or Paul Cole.
Speaker 1: I don't know someone that's like racket sport ad Jason.
Speaker 1: I thought that was hilarious. But anyway, so we here's
Speaker 1: where we're out at the moment. Game two was yesterday.
Speaker 1: Celtics won that one. So they've won the first two
Speaker 1: games at home, and how the series works is the
Speaker 1: next two games will be on the road Dallas, Dallas.
Speaker 1: Then it goes one one one after that. So they
Speaker 1: usually say that a series doesn't start till a home
Speaker 1: team loses, so you know, people people riding off the
Speaker 1: MAVs already just relaxed a little bit. But I think
Speaker 1: the star that's sort of come out of nowhere has
Speaker 1: been Kristaps Porzingis because I think the average or casual
Speaker 1: fan wouldn't have wouldn't know who he was until that
Speaker 1: game won, because he'd been injured for most of the playoffs. Now,
Speaker 1: all of a sudden he comes back. He's seven foot
Speaker 1: four and he can shoot. Yeah, and for the for
Speaker 1: the longest time, they'll say, no, this guy is going
Speaker 1: to be basically like what Victor wembin Yama is like
Speaker 1: now at the moment. But he's just so injured all
Speaker 1: the time. Not yeah, primarily due to the fact he's
Speaker 1: seven foot four.
Speaker 3: With the games two games back in Dallas. Yes, what
Speaker 3: I want to see I want to see vat Coley courtside,
Speaker 3: of course, because they're playing games there is Indi Area
Speaker 3: just played Pakistan in Dallas over the weekend. Yeah, so
Speaker 3: how could I'd love to I want to see jesspit
Speaker 3: Boomra and Rat Coley courtside looking dangerously confused.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, dressed like absolute superstars and.
Speaker 3: Dressed like superstars but also potentially the shortest men in
Speaker 3: the whole arena, and they'd.
Speaker 1: Put them on the TV screen and everyone who yeah,
Speaker 1: Bollywood actor is he?
Speaker 3: But they probably got got bigger followers than most of
Speaker 3: the NBA players put together.
Speaker 1: That is a funny one about cricket is that those
Speaker 1: guys are enormous, Like Coley is just probably one of
Speaker 1: the most famous athletes in the world by population easily, Yeah,
Speaker 1: but most people don't actually know who is the are
Speaker 1: the country music stars of the sporting world. Yeah, like
Speaker 1: they are enormous, but you've never heard of them. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so yeah, we'll be good to see him sideline there.
Speaker 1: The Warriors, all the headlines for the like last two
Speaker 1: three weeks have been since somebody Martin started playing real well,
Speaker 1: everyone's been like, oh, the Warriors have got a massive
Speaker 1: headache now because Seawn Johnson is going to be fit
Speaker 1: next week and what is Andrew Whibs to do. Here's
Speaker 1: a hot tip, puts Sean Johnson back in the fucking Warriors.
Speaker 1: I care, Like, don't overthink it totally.
Speaker 3: You got a guy just about one the delim You
Speaker 3: should have should have won the daim just because he's
Speaker 3: been weighing Likewaye Man's done a great.
Speaker 1: Job, excellent, excellent job, great work for my super coach team.
Speaker 1: But yeah, you're right, but he's not Sean Johnson. And
Speaker 1: the other thing is he's still going to be on
Speaker 1: the field. And Seawan Johnson, it's not like he hasn't
Speaker 1: been watching these games. He's been sidelined and he's looking
Speaker 1: at this guy wicked. Well when I come back, keep
Speaker 1: that same energy to Mighty and give me a bit
Speaker 1: of a break while we're playing.
Speaker 3: Totally, it's just going to open up more space because
Speaker 3: he's more options. It's only it can only possibly be
Speaker 3: a good thing. The only thing that I would say is,
Speaker 3: potentially do they swap positions to where Tomighty Martin just
Speaker 3: keeps that seven jersey and Seawan Johnson plays a bit
Speaker 3: more of a running game off the back of him,
Speaker 3: and then it takes a little bit off his plate.
Speaker 1: It's not all on Seawan Johnson. I think that could
Speaker 1: be the only difference. I don't think the jersey numbers
Speaker 1: will swap, but potentially the roles could change a little bit.
Speaker 1: But again, these are not a problem for the Warriors.
Speaker 1: All of the headlines are trying to be like Webster's
Speaker 1: selection headaches.
Speaker 3: How good looking at our halves though, oh devastated, a
Speaker 3: couple of dream boats devastating.
Speaker 1: We've got one of the better looking teams in the camp.
Speaker 1: The Broncos are probably the only better looking team than us.
Speaker 3: That's only because you've got Yeah, but all looks different
Speaker 3: now though, after you got his head taken on.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it does. And I would say Jordan Ricky's probably
Speaker 1: may even be hot it depending on who you are.
Speaker 1: They are a good looking team. They may have us done.
Speaker 1: But you're like, you say, we're up there, We're in
Speaker 1: the conversation. And I also see that the Hurricanes have
Speaker 1: had to change their kickoff time for their playoff game
Speaker 1: this weekend. I think this is great.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is the fact that a few years ago
Speaker 3: it would have been like fuck it would take him
Speaker 3: head on, Yeah, fuck rugby league. Yeah, but they finally
Speaker 3: looked out that, you know, it's not fuck ourselves here. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I mean, let's be sensible and they're going to kick
Speaker 3: off at four thirty, which allow everyone to also watch
Speaker 3: the Warriors as well. So common sense has prevailed, which
Speaker 3: I think is And whether this's came from sky I
Speaker 3: reckon yeah, rather yeah, just going come on, guys, this
Speaker 3: is fucking stupid. If you do that, you are going
Speaker 3: to cut your face, cut your nose off the spite
Speaker 3: your face. But for them to actually listen to it
Speaker 3: and go, yeah, okay, I.
Speaker 1: Know, because you're right, it would be so very rugby
Speaker 1: of them to be like, no, with the number one
Speaker 1: sport in this country, it's.
Speaker 3: Going to be watching seven o'clock as the match were
Speaker 3: seven o'clock.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right. They would have come in and be
Speaker 1: like you think that everyone Wellington is going to watch
Speaker 1: the bloody Auckland rugby laying. It's like, well, the numbers
Speaker 1: say that, yes they are.
Speaker 3: It gives me faith, gaves me faith that you know,
Speaker 3: they recognized the fact that we actually have to coexist.
Speaker 1: Yeah that's right. And also it's only going to benefit
Speaker 1: them because people that probably weren't going to watch that
Speaker 1: game will now be like, okay, well I'll watch that
Speaker 1: game first, and it's great for us as sports fans.
Speaker 3: Sports fans, it's like, thank you don't make me choose exactly,
Speaker 3: because the other thing is it's hard. You won't watch
Speaker 3: the replay if you know what the score is you
Speaker 3: never do. You always think that you're will, but you
Speaker 3: just don't only die. He would watch his replays.
Speaker 1: Yeah that's right, but he watches replays of like Queensland
Speaker 1: Cup games. Harold Matthews. Yeah, it's out of control to
Speaker 1: the football disc Now, we football massively underrepresented on this podcast,
Speaker 1: which is, as you mentioned, the greatest sports podcast in
Speaker 1: the nation. So here we go.
Speaker 3: Well, yes, a AC Milan have done something kinite interesting.
Speaker 3: They've they brought in like a and this is from
Speaker 3: Joe Pompeiano does a great business blog around business of sport,
Speaker 3: is around AC Milan's financial situation and what they're doing
Speaker 3: with fans and whatever. They're building in a courtside seats
Speaker 3: like the NBA, so people sit between the players benches,
Speaker 3: so they've got like these twenty seats that go between
Speaker 3: the player benches, so you're right in the mixer at
Speaker 3: the moment, they're invite only, so I think they've just
Speaker 3: got movie stars or whatever. But then they'll they'll eventually
Speaker 3: sell them some Saudi shake. Yeah, pretty much. But got
Speaker 3: a cool idea like bringing the bringing fans right on
Speaker 3: field so they're basically between the benches the players are
Speaker 3: running around in front of them.
Speaker 1: Because they make the teams. You know. Jack Nicholson used
Speaker 1: to sit courtside of the Lakers for years. Yeah, Spike
Speaker 1: Lee for the New York Knicks.
Speaker 3: So AC Milan, so they've been days. Recently got brought
Speaker 3: out by American investment fund Redbird cap All for one
Speaker 3: point two billion. That was in twenty two and they,
Speaker 3: I mean, they're doing all right Asimlan they kind of what.
Speaker 3: They reached the Champions League semifinal last year. They finished
Speaker 3: second in the league this year. But on the business side,
Speaker 3: the one hundred and twenty eight year old Italian football
Speaker 3: club is on fire. They have made a record profit
Speaker 3: this year. They came second in the Serie Day. But
Speaker 3: their revenue this year was one hundred and five million US.
Speaker 3: It's the highest in the club's history and the operating
Speaker 3: incomes eighty one million valuation of one point four billion.
Speaker 1: This is US, by the way, Jesus.
Speaker 3: So quite interesting because they also they also share their
Speaker 3: stadium with Inter Milan, yet they have yet they make
Speaker 3: so much more money and have so many Their ticket
Speaker 3: sales are more. They're doing these sideline seats. Ye, it's
Speaker 3: it's really interesting, but I mean, I don't know the
Speaker 3: obviously business model is working and how they do it,
Speaker 3: but it's owned by this investment company that are full
Speaker 3: of cliches, but obviously something something's working for them.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's like a silver Oake deal that actually worked. Yeah,
Speaker 1: pretty much, that's what it sounds like.
Speaker 3: But you know, and so court side seats bring them
Speaker 3: in for the rugby imagine sitting in between the benches
Speaker 3: of rugby putting, like twenty people just on and they're
Speaker 3: just in seats they get they get to.
Speaker 1: Park with the players as well. So they turn out.
Speaker 1: You park in the same car parks as players.
Speaker 3: You get a concierge takes you to your seat, and
Speaker 3: you get a Michelin stad chef brings you out like
Speaker 3: the entrees and stuff.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you just bail that up on the sideline.
Speaker 1: See that's perfect. Why don't we do a New Zealand
Speaker 1: version of that where you pull up, you sit on
Speaker 1: the sideline, We bring your toppers, we bring you export ultras,
Speaker 1: you just get to sit there and watch the game.
Speaker 1: Because that would change particularly Eaten Park, but also the
Speaker 1: cake Tin where you're actually not sitting anywhere near the ground.
Speaker 1: But if you filled those in and put people there.
Speaker 1: That that would change everything.
Speaker 3: What you could do at at the Cake Tin and
Speaker 3: Eating Park, you could practically put a beer festival on
Speaker 3: between the stand and the sideline and people could just
Speaker 3: stand around on Lena's watching the game. Because there is
Speaker 3: so much space between the sideline and the stand that
Speaker 3: you could actually create something quite cool within.
Speaker 1: That's so if you haven't meant to Eat and park,
Speaker 1: the Breakers could play on the sideline that it's that
Speaker 1: bag between the well.
Speaker 3: Even more so at the cake Tin Yeah, cake Tin's
Speaker 3: even wider. It's ridiculous and that would change everything.
Speaker 1: And I know that the first retort would be, well,
Speaker 1: but what happens if a player goes crashing into the thing.
Speaker 1: What happens is we are number one on Sports Center,
Speaker 1: We go viral. There's the only way you're going to
Speaker 1: get rugby onto ESPN. As if someone goes careening into
Speaker 1: a corporate hospitality table.
Speaker 3: Because how many times has someone showing you a photo
Speaker 3: of some old bitty with their glasses courtside in an
Speaker 3: NBA game and a ball collatteres into her face and
Speaker 3: just explodes their glasses.
Speaker 1: Yeah, check this out in slow motion? Yeah, totally. That's
Speaker 1: the best thing ever. So yeah, I'm one hundred percent
Speaker 1: on board at that tables. I think, like you know,
Speaker 1: ringside at the boxing, when they sit at the corporate tables,
Speaker 1: I'd love that. We talked about they used to have
Speaker 1: that at the breakers. Yeah they did, but they can
Speaker 1: fit so many more people in as the problem, so
Speaker 1: they've now changed that to all seating. But the thing
Speaker 1: is that the rugby is that much ground, so much
Speaker 1: room you could you could just about put people. Maybe
Speaker 1: you put them in in the in goal like at
Speaker 1: the at the ends. It's how good would be to
Speaker 1: watch the try being scored. That's what the Warriors got.
Speaker 1: People can just lean on the back fence of the Warriors.
Speaker 1: That that fanny, Yeah, that is that down that end
Speaker 1: is excellent. I don't think people realize how close it is.
Speaker 1: I saw Dolphins.
Speaker 3: I saw great footage of the Dolphins club set up
Speaker 3: the Oh my god, how good is that.
Speaker 1: The bistro, it's I would rather I just about rather
Speaker 1: go to that in the Magic ground. Probably not quite,
Speaker 1: but sitting there and having a chicken snitty watching the
Speaker 1: footage couple of schooners, it looks so good.
Speaker 3: Yeah, anyway, there there's that We've solved it again. We've
Speaker 3: solved it again.
Speaker 1: It never ends. The look. I know, we throw a
Speaker 1: lot of shit at the wall, but I wouldn't be
Speaker 1: shocked if we heard someone parroting this stuff back to
Speaker 1: us and the next few weeks, it's take one more
Speaker 1: quick break before we wrap this thing up, all right.
Speaker 1: I just had to say, quick break, have a quick
Speaker 1: drink of water. The three dollar Diaries would get a
Speaker 1: hold of me. And you don't.
Speaker 3: You don't look as bad as I thought you were
Speaker 3: going to look, because you know, normally if you go away,
Speaker 3: usually you go away to a wedding in wy Mattie
Speaker 3: and you come back looking like Prince peor Palpatine is.
Speaker 1: There's all sorts going on.
Speaker 3: You've got you've got kind of coloration issues going on,
Speaker 3: you've got rashes and your throats out, and everything's everything's
Speaker 3: falling apart. But you've come back from Bali relatively unscathed.
Speaker 1: I think I actually nailed it on the dirry front
Speaker 1: because you can smoke inside everywhere. We had a taxi
Speaker 1: driver one day who was like, does anyone smoke in here?
Speaker 1: And everyone's like, no, no, we don't, And I sort
Speaker 1: of looked at my missus. How do I answer this?
Speaker 1: She sugar head does it? No, no, no, because he goes, oh, okay,
Speaker 1: well just let you know, like, if you want to
Speaker 1: smoke in this taxi, you can, like you can smoke
Speaker 1: in here. I'm fine with it. What he was saying
Speaker 1: was can I smoke? And he did it. But in
Speaker 1: the end, what I ended up doing was because darries
Speaker 1: are like, it's a three dollars for pack of douries
Speaker 1: over there. It's outrageous, it's so cheap. So what I
Speaker 1: was doing is I'd bum a darry Off whoever was
Speaker 1: driving us, tour guides whatever, because they're all smoking while
Speaker 1: we're going. And then I just tipped them three bucks.
Speaker 1: So that's a whole pack of dories to them, and
Speaker 1: I just could smoke whenever I wanted to without actually
Speaker 1: having a full pack of darts on me at any
Speaker 1: given time. It's the hack. You should have just.
Speaker 3: Brought a whole cart and of darts and just flipped
Speaker 3: them a pack of darts.
Speaker 1: That would mean, oh yeah, been quite balling. That probably
Speaker 1: would have been the go. Yeah. I didn't realize that.
Speaker 3: I mean, you had to carry around a whole cart
Speaker 3: and then you'd probably smash those cat that cart.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so that's yeah, it's actually probably an own goal.
Speaker 1: America's Cup was back in the news this week because
Speaker 1: they they put out the forecast of how much money
Speaker 1: it's set to make Barcelona later on this year. It's
Speaker 1: about two billion dollars. It's going to create about nineteen
Speaker 1: thousand jobs over there as well.
Speaker 3: Good for them, now, that's awesome, well done, well done,
Speaker 3: well done.
Speaker 1: I was like, didn't we win that? Didn't we? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Should we be host?
Speaker 3: Seeing that?
Speaker 1: And from what I remembered, basically, wasn't it like sailing
Speaker 1: was trying to hold the government over a barrel and
Speaker 1: be like, you have to pay for all of this
Speaker 1: and if you don't, then we're out of here.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And they said that like if they if they don't,
Speaker 3: then they can't afford to go with the program they've
Speaker 3: currently got and they can't compete with international other international
Speaker 3: teams with the current budget, so they have to take
Speaker 3: it overseas to defend it. That is the reason why
Speaker 3: they're in Barcelona. But it's all about the cash.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I don't know, to be fair, we did
Speaker 1: our ass on the last one because that was still
Speaker 1: on the tail end of COVID. Yes, and so they
Speaker 1: had forecasts that all these super yachts and billionaires We're
Speaker 1: going to come in the country and no one came.
Speaker 1: So I could see why. If you're the government, you look,
Speaker 1: I just can't. Can I justify this again? But min
Speaker 1: you so deep.
Speaker 3: We've done it so many times, it's so well when
Speaker 3: you do it again, your pot committed at this totally.
Speaker 3: Now you're like, now you've just gone off, just given
Speaker 3: it all of Uslona, which is a great city, and
Speaker 3: they'll do a great job and it all look great
Speaker 3: and we'll probably.
Speaker 1: Lose, and this is the problem. Then it never comes
Speaker 1: back to New Zealand ever. So I'm like, well, how
Speaker 1: do we get it back to New Zealand? And I've
Speaker 1: got a plan. I've got a plan. It's a two
Speaker 1: phase strategy that I think could benefit not only the
Speaker 1: America's Cup but also our own League of the Sale GP. Yes,
Speaker 1: and that is and you may have picked up where
Speaker 1: I'm hitting with this. We take all of the Hector's
Speaker 1: dolphins we can find out of the Acro Harbor and
Speaker 1: we take them over to Barcelona and we release them
Speaker 1: into the thing bringing America's Cup to its knees and
Speaker 1: then be like, well, funnily enough, we've just found out
Speaker 1: we don't have any of the dolphins anymore, so why
Speaker 1: don't you bring it back here and we have it
Speaker 1: back down there in christ Church and we wrestle two
Speaker 1: billion dollars back for our economy.
Speaker 3: I you should have brought this up tomorrow in a
Speaker 3: halfbak sports idea because I like it.
Speaker 1: But the thing is, when you go to Europe is
Speaker 1: a different.
Speaker 3: Level of give a fuck over there, and if a
Speaker 3: dolphin gets in the way of something that potentially looks
Speaker 3: like fun and people are involved, yeah they'll go and
Speaker 3: they'll just.
Speaker 1: Run it over. They're just sashimi that motherfuckerly they will
Speaker 1: want heck the dolphins. Yeah, yeah, that's a good point.
Speaker 1: They I don't give it, shah, they don't. They don't
Speaker 1: in terms of your kind of environmentalist clout. Yeah, true,
Speaker 1: they have a bigger mallet here than they do over
Speaker 1: in Europe.
Speaker 3: Still there, but they're not going to stop a race
Speaker 3: that's going to make this city billions and billions of dollars. Well,
Speaker 3: that would just go as he's the giant salmon that
Speaker 3: are flying around here, like the size of these salmon.
Speaker 1: But do you want to try some hect this dolphin
Speaker 1: for dinner tonight because we've actually just carved one in
Speaker 1: half of the monofoil out in the harbor. I sill
Speaker 1: just recently of a shipping container pulling into dock with
Speaker 1: like a right whale on the on the bowl but
Speaker 1: the front.
Speaker 3: Yeah, just splatted band container ship band container ships.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's disgusting. Apparently it's a bit more common than
Speaker 1: than you'd think. They're sashimi in a marine mammal.
Speaker 3: And that one, that the sashimi one, the landing on
Speaker 3: the bulb of a container ship is a bit different
Speaker 3: from a sashimi. It's more a kind of a pan
Speaker 3: fried situation, isn't it, because it just sits on top
Speaker 3: of it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah it is. It's more it's tender, tenderized tender lily.
Speaker 1: All right, We I understand used to have got through
Speaker 1: a mountain of yours pleases mainly feedback on the Friday's body,
Speaker 1: but yeah, across kids. So we've only just got the
Speaker 1: one today, but it is now time for yours, please, yours.
Speaker 4: Please brought you by leader home. Hey, lad's you want
Speaker 4: to get more people to the Caketon back in make
Speaker 4: the Bears cheaper forty three dollars for four beers mate
Speaker 4: in the pub and not fucking go also at home.
Speaker 1: And I know this is this is a great point
Speaker 1: that you make here, caller, and it is one that
Speaker 1: we've talked about at nauseum on this, but I do
Speaker 1: think it's right to bring it up again. And that's
Speaker 1: that beers just cost so much at the at the ground,
Speaker 1: and what they are competing with is staying at home
Speaker 1: or going to the pub. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I understand that it costs a lot. You've got staff,
Speaker 3: you know, it's not cheap to actually get people. Now, Yes,
Speaker 3: I understand all that carry on. But when you're paying
Speaker 3: that much, yes, for a couple of beers and a
Speaker 3: hamburger or whatever at a shitty little pizza or something, yes,
Speaker 3: it is quite hard to justify.
Speaker 1: Yes, And and there's a point of diminishing returns because
Speaker 1: people aren't going to games, and it's and that is
Speaker 1: one of the main problems. The other problem is and
Speaker 1: from all the accounts that I heard from people that
Speaker 1: went to Magic Ground, which looked, you know, was you
Speaker 1: know boat the Bogan Olympics, it was Rugby League Nirvana.
Speaker 1: Millions of people there. Nobody struggled to get a beer,
Speaker 1: I know. And so it's like, how can even with
Speaker 1: declining sporting attendance, when you go to a game, you
Speaker 1: still have to queue up for a beer. How I
Speaker 1: understand gouging my out for it. You've got a captive audience. Fine, yeah,
Speaker 1: like take me for all I'm worth, but at least
Speaker 1: let me get them, because I can't, like, at least
Speaker 1: give me an opportunity to give you all of my money.
Speaker 3: Well, look at the Masters. We talked about the Masters.
Speaker 3: They haven't changed their food price for twenty years. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it's stayed the same, and the sandwiches like two dollars. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and the beers are still cheap. They've kept it the
Speaker 3: same because they realize the value of the actual event itself, yes,
Speaker 3: and making money around the event and the whole Master's
Speaker 3: brand and the.
Speaker 1: Merchandise they sell and everything like that. Yeah, so they've
Speaker 1: they've nailed it. Whereas we're like.
Speaker 3: Okay, there's ten thousand people here. How we're still twenty
Speaker 3: thousand short because of the capacities. How can we make
Speaker 3: up the vale? Let's just charge them sixteen bucks a beer,
Speaker 3: make them queue up so we only have to put
Speaker 3: one person on the till.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they'll be fine, they'll pay it. They go nowhere
Speaker 1: else to go, I know. Yeah, it's like, well, yes
Speaker 1: they do that, here's where they go. They are twenty
Speaker 1: thousand at home. Yes, we're still watching. We're just at
Speaker 1: home with the next word ultra, you know, for way less.
Speaker 3: That's why Sky have said their viewership's up by sixteen percent,
Speaker 3: mainly because of us on Skysport nine, but also the
Speaker 3: fact that fans are probably like, you know what, fuck,
Speaker 3: I'll smash them. I'll smash a dozen export oltras at
Speaker 3: home for the same price. Yeah as two beers. That's
Speaker 3: right from the ground.
Speaker 4: I know.
Speaker 1: And it's like it's just so even the hearty fans
Speaker 1: who are like, yeah I want to go. You look
Speaker 1: at your window on game day and it's raining sideways.
Speaker 1: You've got a fridge full of beers and a blanket
Speaker 1: on the couch, you know what I mean. Like that
Speaker 1: just tips it so far in favor of just staying
Speaker 1: at home. And I think they'd look at it the
Speaker 1: wrong way. Where for the longest time, it's been like
Speaker 1: everyone goes to the rugby, and that was true for
Speaker 1: the long stuff. So it's like everyone's going to go
Speaker 1: to the rugby regardless, so let's guadge your eyes out
Speaker 1: make our money that way. Well, now it's shifted. People
Speaker 1: aren't just by default going to watch these games, so
Speaker 1: it's not a given that they're going to be there,
Speaker 1: So you don't just have the right to fleece us.
Speaker 3: I reckon the F and B should be a lost
Speaker 3: leader for the next couple of years. Hundred percent a
Speaker 3: lost leader if you're losing money.
Speaker 1: I know that.
Speaker 3: They there's all sorts of complexities around this. I know
Speaker 3: this have helped run stadiums around. You sell the catering
Speaker 3: side of the business to a third party, whether it's
Speaker 3: a spotless or whoever, so they run the concession. So
Speaker 3: stadiums in effect don't really have a choice on pricing
Speaker 3: or anything else. But someone's got to stand out and go, right,
Speaker 3: I'll subsidize it whatever.
Speaker 1: I don't care. Well they do, because they could just say, look,
Speaker 1: here's your maximum pricing, you know, yeah, and we'll put
Speaker 1: it out. But yeah, you're right.
Speaker 3: There is some politicals. But if it was a lost leader, right,
Speaker 3: beers are five bucks. For the first half years, burgers
Speaker 3: are ten bucks.
Speaker 1: That's it. We're calling it a marketing expense.
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's put it under the marketing whatever or you
Speaker 3: like we said before you get a free beer with
Speaker 3: your ticket, you know, and then beers are ten dollars
Speaker 3: after that.
Speaker 1: You know that subsidizes it down, but who knows.
Speaker 3: I mean, look, I know we're solving the world's problems
Speaker 3: again on this podcast, but that I think if a
Speaker 3: lost leader on match experience is the way to go,
Speaker 3: then we have to do it. Yeah, we can't keep
Speaker 3: going on and just selling games out for the semi
Speaker 3: in the final.
Speaker 1: Couldn't you subsidize it by all of the because everyone
Speaker 1: in a corporate box doesn't pay for their PA, but
Speaker 1: they crush it. Yeah. Yeah, that's because whoever owns the
Speaker 1: corporate box pays for it. It's not still paid for.
Speaker 3: So yeah, say, GB you've got a corporate box. At
Speaker 3: the end of that game, they will get a bill
Speaker 3: for the amount of past that got drunk in.
Speaker 1: The right right right, right, Well well then why couldn't
Speaker 1: we get someone to come in and be like, right,
Speaker 1: the export Ultra would do it in a fucking heartbeat. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and just say okay, whoever's got the catering thing here,
Speaker 1: you're still going to make your money. We're going to
Speaker 1: pay you. But the punter, they get a massive discount.
Speaker 1: Five dollars can five dollar can cool, so you get
Speaker 1: four to twenty bucks. You're back at your seat. And
Speaker 1: that in cans, we don't even open them, just not
Speaker 1: open the opening them thing that annoys me? What does
Speaker 1: that stop? Well, they reckon you can throw it off.
Speaker 1: Who's throwing? Beer is too expensive? Who's throwing who's paying
Speaker 1: fifty bucks for a beer? And then throw at someone
Speaker 1: it's cheap in to three your shoes and other news
Speaker 1: on on Export Ultra.
Speaker 3: Obviously, we're lining up our pre games before the England Games,
Speaker 3: so we've lined up the Postman's League in Auckland, so
Speaker 3: we're gonna cram and turundred people into the air. We've
Speaker 3: got live music and got coaches free coaches going from there.
Speaker 3: We'll let you know details and how you can book
Speaker 3: that Duneda and we're still looking for a place. You
Speaker 3: are going down there and going to check out some places.
Speaker 3: So we've had lots of suggestions around Guardies, which is impossible.
Speaker 1: It's a library lot the.
Speaker 3: Bowler, the Cook, Starters or the Ori. So this week
Speaker 3: you're going down there and potentially going to line one up.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm going to go and have a look. It's
Speaker 1: going to be one of the wildest swings and temperatures
Speaker 1: that the human body's ever gone through. But I will
Speaker 1: go down there and have a look. It's kind of
Speaker 1: sad from what I've heard, all of the student bars
Speaker 1: have been brought up and shut.
Speaker 3: I'm putting my weight behind the Cook. I want the
Speaker 3: Captain Cook to reopen. I know it's got to sALS
Speaker 3: in it, but can we just shift them out for
Speaker 3: a bit?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we could bring them out of there. I
Speaker 1: have an affinity to Starters Bar. When I was living
Speaker 1: down there, we live like literally a street over and
Speaker 1: we could walk through straight into Starters Bar. My flatmates
Speaker 1: with the bouncers. One of them work behind the bar.
Speaker 1: One of them was the DJ. So start as bar
Speaker 1: as a particular affinity. But I know that it got
Speaker 1: shut down a couple of years ago. But we have
Speaker 1: the power to assuscitate one of these bars, absolutely, because
Speaker 1: we'll be there.
Speaker 3: For the weekend of the England All Blacks match.
Speaker 1: It's only a month or yeah, fifth and sixth of July,
Speaker 1: less than a month. Got our work cut up.
Speaker 3: Yes, so we'll see what we can do. We can
Speaker 3: do but keep the suggestions coming through and we can't wait.
Speaker 3: We'll rip Dunedin a new one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, we'll knock this one on the head
Speaker 1: for today. We will be back tomorrow for a Wednesday
Speaker 1: with another half back sports idea. Send in your voicemails
Speaker 1: for yours please, we will see you tomorrow.
Speaker 2: You've been listening to the ACC's a gender podcast brought
Speaker 2: to you by Export Ultra. For more episodes, like and
Speaker 2: follow on iHeartRadio for them, you'll get your podcasts
