This is the Agenda Podcast for Tuesday, 0:00:08.119 --> 0:00:09.360 the eleventh of June. 0:00:10.200 --> 0:00:14.440 The Agenda Podcast, the home of sporting, nonsense and clap trap, 0:00:14.880 --> 0:00:16.800 brought to you by Export a Vulture. 0:00:18.200 --> 0:00:21.639 Morning, Late good A and I anyone would think you've 0:00:21.680 --> 0:00:22.479 been to Bali? 0:00:22.800 --> 0:00:23.599 What gives it away? 0:00:23.680 --> 0:00:28.000 And to know it's the Bintang T shirt? It's the 0:00:28.600 --> 0:00:34.080 genuine Italian maid Are they Versaci Prada Prada glasses? 0:00:34.159 --> 0:00:36.720 Prada glasses there, I've got a great deal on this show. 0:00:36.800 --> 0:00:39.400 How much did you pay for those genuine pratas? Two 0:00:39.440 --> 0:00:47.760 hundred thousand repair? Where's your tattoo? No, it's funny you 0:00:47.760 --> 0:00:49.839 say that. So I've just gotten back from Bali and 0:00:50.200 --> 0:00:52.479 you know it has changed me. But it's funny you 0:00:52.520 --> 0:00:55.640 mentioned the tattoos, because there are tattoo parlors everywhere. Yeah, 0:00:55.640 --> 0:00:58.520 absolutely everywhere. The funniest sign that I ever saw for 0:00:58.560 --> 0:01:01.000 one of them, it was hair written on a piece 0:01:01.040 --> 0:01:03.000 of cardboard that I think was from a box of beer, 0:01:03.280 --> 0:01:05.320 and it was just taped to a wall and it 0:01:05.440 --> 0:01:10.160 said three tattoos thirty dollars one needle, and I don't 0:01:10.160 --> 0:01:12.280 know why they had to specify that they were only 0:01:12.319 --> 0:01:13.319 going to use one needle. 0:01:13.480 --> 0:01:15.360 I think that's the cost saving. That's why it's only 0:01:15.360 --> 0:01:16.200 thirty Yeah. 0:01:16.000 --> 0:01:18.680 And I just love the idea of them being like, look, 0:01:18.959 --> 0:01:21.839 we can either do one tattoo on three different people 0:01:22.160 --> 0:01:24.160 or three tattoos on one person, however you want to 0:01:24.160 --> 0:01:26.160 play it. What I'm telling you is we're only going 0:01:26.200 --> 0:01:28.400 to use one needle, So do what you want with 0:01:28.440 --> 0:01:31.440 that information. The only sure I have with the one 0:01:32.120 --> 0:01:36.640 authentic two hundred thousand dollars pratas they fog up in 0:01:36.920 --> 0:01:40.399 every every single they don't look environment. 0:01:40.560 --> 0:01:43.280 They look like potentially if it was any sun, your 0:01:43.319 --> 0:01:44.560 eyeballs would be burning. 0:01:44.680 --> 0:01:46.600 Yeah that's all. You wouldn't able to see anything because 0:01:46.600 --> 0:01:50.320 they'd frost up on both sides. Just quick recap on 0:01:50.360 --> 0:01:55.240 my trip to Bali, very very but hoole focused the 0:01:55.920 --> 0:02:00.520 Indonesian trip or just you well, I mean in a way, 0:02:00.840 --> 0:02:03.840 as soon as I got there, there was we got 0:02:03.840 --> 0:02:07.040 a massage and the woman was fearless. 0:02:07.400 --> 0:02:09.840 Did sheat I've been in this situation? Did they go 0:02:09.919 --> 0:02:14.280 up the inside flying thigh and fleck up. No, I 0:02:14.320 --> 0:02:16.600 didn't have that. Chris Key, I was with him. He 0:02:16.680 --> 0:02:19.520 did have that, and his misuse was a bloke. So 0:02:19.520 --> 0:02:21.840 that was full noise. No mid one, she puts the 0:02:21.840 --> 0:02:24.320 blanket over your back. Then when she goes to rub 0:02:24.360 --> 0:02:26.400 your back, she pulled the blanket down, tucked it into 0:02:26.440 --> 0:02:27.760 my undies and pulled my undies down. 0:02:27.840 --> 0:02:29.680 Oh yes, I was like, oh boy, and then she 0:02:29.840 --> 0:02:32.240 was just right in there. I was like, God, bless you. 0:02:32.240 --> 0:02:36.919 You know, getting paid nearly enough for this. That very night, 0:02:36.960 --> 0:02:39.600 there was a massive noise outside of our villa. What 0:02:39.639 --> 0:02:43.240 had happened was the pool drained itself and then by mistake, 0:02:43.320 --> 0:02:45.560 and then the jets turned on, so they're just blasting 0:02:45.600 --> 0:02:47.799 water into an empty pool. It was loud as hell. 0:02:47.880 --> 0:02:48.320 How did you? 0:02:48.480 --> 0:02:50.280 How did who pulled the plug out on the pool? 0:02:50.360 --> 0:02:53.160 Don't know to this day, don't know, but it scared 0:02:53.200 --> 0:02:54.960 the pass out of me. So I get up to investigate. 0:02:55.040 --> 0:02:57.119 Didn't realize that my bed was actually on a platform. 0:02:57.160 --> 0:02:59.560 So I just went flying across the room, ripped the 0:02:59.600 --> 0:03:01.880 curtain off the rail, and somehow I hit the lights 0:03:01.880 --> 0:03:05.200 in one fell swoop. So my missus wakes up to 0:03:05.280 --> 0:03:08.520 the lights blasting on me, screaming, flat on my back 0:03:08.560 --> 0:03:12.800 on the floor, shangled and jangled the curtain, the curtains 0:03:12.800 --> 0:03:14.960 off the rail, just like, what the fuck is happening. 0:03:15.160 --> 0:03:17.280 I was like, sorry, I fell over, so that bruised 0:03:17.280 --> 0:03:19.600 my ass. And there's day one. This is day one. Yeah, 0:03:19.800 --> 0:03:23.440 and as you know, the scooters everywhere. So for the 0:03:23.440 --> 0:03:25.240 rest of the thing, I still have a giant bruise 0:03:25.280 --> 0:03:27.480 on my left butt cheek. For the rest of the trip, 0:03:28.200 --> 0:03:31.600 there was Yeah. I was just getting my ass powdered 0:03:31.600 --> 0:03:35.040 by these scooters. We go to a beach club. One 0:03:35.040 --> 0:03:36.280 of the people that were at the beach club with 0:03:36.320 --> 0:03:38.280 who were posing for a photo they was this dude 0:03:38.320 --> 0:03:40.880 was standing behind me and he was suffering from a 0:03:40.920 --> 0:03:43.000 bit of shrinkage to the point where it felt like 0:03:43.000 --> 0:03:45.760 I had a gun in my back while we were posing. 0:03:46.600 --> 0:03:49.440 It was so awkward. And this is all within the 0:03:49.440 --> 0:03:51.440 first forty eight hours of me being in Balley, And 0:03:51.440 --> 0:03:53.680 I was like, if the rest of this as buttle 0:03:53.760 --> 0:03:56.600 focused as the first forty eight hours, then we're in 0:03:56.640 --> 0:03:57.360 for a rough one. 0:03:57.400 --> 0:04:00.560 Are you You haven't come back with the BALLEI rash. 0:04:01.080 --> 0:04:02.520 Oh, well no, no I haven't. 0:04:02.520 --> 0:04:04.880 Whether which is people falling off scooters and just coming 0:04:04.920 --> 0:04:06.840 back with it, just road rash all over them. 0:04:06.920 --> 0:04:09.400 No, I haven't. We did rent scooters though, and that 0:04:09.560 --> 0:04:13.200 was a real relationship strengthening exercise for me and my partner. 0:04:13.200 --> 0:04:14.760 Did you get two or did you just get one? 0:04:14.880 --> 0:04:17.600 We got we just got one, so you shared it. 0:04:17.360 --> 0:04:19.480 That's that's the issue. Yeah, So she's on the back 0:04:19.520 --> 0:04:21.080 of mine. She didn't want to drive once, so I 0:04:21.120 --> 0:04:22.599 was like right out, hop on the back of mine. 0:04:22.720 --> 0:04:24.800 We got stuck in rush our traffic, which by the way, 0:04:24.920 --> 0:04:26.880 rush hour is from when the sun comes up to 0:04:26.920 --> 0:04:29.560 when it goes down. Traffic is a disaster. It is 0:04:29.560 --> 0:04:31.640 a disaster. We didn't crash it, but we did get 0:04:31.640 --> 0:04:33.160 to a point where she jumped off and threw the 0:04:33.200 --> 0:04:36.800 helmet at me and said, I'm getting a car right now. Helm. 0:04:36.920 --> 0:04:39.719 It is a a big move. Yeah, I was like 0:04:39.839 --> 0:04:44.119 fair enough. Sporting highlight of the week we watched State 0:04:44.160 --> 0:04:47.239 of Origin at a bar and Luatu with a bunch 0:04:47.279 --> 0:04:49.560 of Australians there and it was a It was a 0:04:49.600 --> 0:04:52.120 great time, great event, aside from the fact that the 0:04:52.160 --> 0:04:54.400 game was over within the first sort of ten to 0:04:54.440 --> 0:04:57.239 fifteen minutes, but it was good to just be around 0:04:57.240 --> 0:04:59.320 a bunch of ozsies watching State of Origin, don't you 0:04:59.400 --> 0:05:00.920 thingers didn't miss out on much here. 0:05:00.920 --> 0:05:02.839 Nothing much happened here last few days, So I think 0:05:03.080 --> 0:05:05.039 we can just get straight into Well. 0:05:04.920 --> 0:05:08.040 That's funny say it because I was watching from Afar. 0:05:08.360 --> 0:05:10.680 There was a live stream on one of the days 0:05:10.680 --> 0:05:12.560 and I don't know what that was. It was of 0:05:12.600 --> 0:05:15.479 you sitting in that seat that you're in right now. Comfy. Yeah, 0:05:15.760 --> 0:05:18.720 it looked very comfortable at the time because you were 0:05:18.800 --> 0:05:21.320 just asleep and I was watching that from a bar 0:05:21.480 --> 0:05:25.640 in Balu. Just the fuck's going on? What have it? 0:05:25.640 --> 0:05:28.440 It's just a one day His classic kind of acc 0:05:28.560 --> 0:05:32.280 traditions is turning what was a victory into a massive loss. 0:05:32.560 --> 0:05:34.400 So I mean, this is where where I'm an award 0:05:34.400 --> 0:05:36.800 for this podcast, New Zealand's best sports podcast. 0:05:37.160 --> 0:05:38.279 Partied way too hard. 0:05:38.880 --> 0:05:40.720 I passed out in the studio, got in a lot 0:05:40.720 --> 0:05:43.680 of trouble at home, then just summon enough energy to 0:05:43.760 --> 0:05:47.600 do a podcast with poor Carl from the Tab, who 0:05:47.760 --> 0:05:49.719 I still haven't apologized to because it was the worst 0:05:49.720 --> 0:05:52.679 sports book broadcast ever, and then rolled into an agenda 0:05:53.120 --> 0:05:55.800 podcast that both Met Heath and I can't remember recording, 0:05:56.720 --> 0:06:00.040 and then and then and then passing out in this 0:06:00.760 --> 0:06:02.880 and then you know, you like to have good friends 0:06:02.920 --> 0:06:04.920 around you to rally around you, and you know, look 0:06:04.960 --> 0:06:07.359 after in the state. Then turn the cameras on me 0:06:07.480 --> 0:06:10.360 and video and live stream me sleeping in this chair 0:06:10.440 --> 0:06:11.240 for the power. 0:06:11.600 --> 0:06:13.880 Well that's the dangers of falling asleep in a seat 0:06:13.920 --> 0:06:16.040 with a camera trained on us. Yeah, this is true. 0:06:16.040 --> 0:06:18.919 I mean, look, I made so many bad decisions in 0:06:18.960 --> 0:06:22.320 that twenty four hours that I spent the next three 0:06:22.400 --> 0:06:23.360 or four days paying for it. 0:06:24.440 --> 0:06:26.960 But hey, I'm at the back of it now and hearing. 0:06:26.800 --> 0:06:28.920 Your first couple of days and Barley's made me feel 0:06:28.920 --> 0:06:29.360 a lot better. 0:06:29.360 --> 0:06:31.800 Actually, yeah, Las Siels was in this downstairs focus. Does 0:06:31.839 --> 0:06:33.880 that have someone to do with why the pillows are 0:06:33.880 --> 0:06:35.200 all screwed up on the ski? Yeah? 0:06:35.440 --> 0:06:38.120 I mean the couch was used a lot. I mean Ruder, 0:06:38.240 --> 0:06:40.240 the producer of the Met and Jury show. He was 0:06:40.279 --> 0:06:42.240 on there before me and I said, get off. He'd 0:06:42.240 --> 0:06:42.920 never liked it. 0:06:43.279 --> 0:06:46.080 He actually slept in here the week before, Yes. 0:06:45.960 --> 0:06:48.160 He did for the Met and Jerry Live podcast. 0:06:48.200 --> 0:06:52.039 And yeah, and he made a point of it. Came 0:06:52.080 --> 0:06:55.960 over to me and explained that he had not relieved himself, 0:06:56.000 --> 0:06:59.880 relieved himself anywhere in the studio while he slipped. 0:06:59.600 --> 0:07:03.359 Here, which raises some suspicions that he may have, but 0:07:03.400 --> 0:07:04.120 I didn't think you had. 0:07:04.200 --> 0:07:06.760 That's dangerous. Also with the cameras in here, Yeah, very 0:07:06.839 --> 0:07:09.720 dangerous unless that's your thing. Maybe that's what Maybe that's 0:07:09.720 --> 0:07:12.320 what did it. But while I was gone, the Cricket 0:07:12.360 --> 0:07:14.760 World Cup kicking off, and I didn't really see anything 0:07:14.760 --> 0:07:18.200 aside from that Corey Anderson beat Pakistan. 0:07:18.600 --> 0:07:21.240 Oh yeah, yeah, he didn't play. He didn't do much 0:07:21.280 --> 0:07:22.920 in that game. Actually he didn't even I don't think 0:07:22.920 --> 0:07:27.360 he even bettered. No, but obviously you've just come straight 0:07:27.360 --> 0:07:29.480 back from balley Man from Mars hasn't seen much. 0:07:29.520 --> 0:07:31.280 I haven't seen anything. I saw State of Origin and 0:07:31.280 --> 0:07:33.280 that was it. It's an absolute. 0:07:34.320 --> 0:07:38.040 Shit show really because the games are in like some 0:07:38.120 --> 0:07:40.520 of them are in Guyana, which is pretty much South America, 0:07:40.720 --> 0:07:43.040 some are in West Indies, summer in Texas. 0:07:42.640 --> 0:07:43.520 Some are in New York. 0:07:43.600 --> 0:07:45.760 Yeah, so it's all wildly different. The pitch in New 0:07:45.840 --> 0:07:50.280 York is an absolute shitter. The stadium looks great, yeah baseball, No, 0:07:50.360 --> 0:07:51.920 it's a pop up saying the build it from scratch, 0:07:52.000 --> 0:07:55.200 like it's all scaffolding cave creaky type situation. Yeah, but 0:07:55.240 --> 0:07:57.920 I mean India defended one seventeen or one nineteen or 0:07:57.960 --> 0:08:02.280 whatever against Pakistan. The pictures a bit dodgy there, pittures 0:08:02.280 --> 0:08:06.400 in Guyana as slow and turns didn't help that. New 0:08:06.520 --> 0:08:09.840 Zealand turned up and absolutely shat the bet against Afghanistan. 0:08:10.000 --> 0:08:12.000 Yeah, got absolutely outplayed. 0:08:11.560 --> 0:08:14.240 In every fest of the game and now are playing 0:08:14.280 --> 0:08:17.040 for the tournament against West Indy's the hosts on Thursday 0:08:17.080 --> 0:08:20.160 at Brian Lara Academy Stadium. 0:08:20.480 --> 0:08:23.080 And but Pakistani potentially out. 0:08:23.080 --> 0:08:27.360 We're potentially out USA potentially through Afghanistani, PA potentially through 0:08:27.720 --> 0:08:30.600 but the same old constant, the best team in the 0:08:30.600 --> 0:08:33.079 competition by a long long way as Australia. 0:08:34.200 --> 0:08:37.160 That's annoying. But it is such a bizarre sort of 0:08:37.280 --> 0:08:39.960 set up, Like you said, teams all over the shop 0:08:40.000 --> 0:08:42.040 in terms of you might be playing, you must have 0:08:42.120 --> 0:08:44.559 a game in New Zealand. Yeah, I hate that for 0:08:45.720 --> 0:08:47.720 sporting events because the whole point of a World Cup 0:08:47.760 --> 0:08:48.760 is it's in one place. 0:08:48.840 --> 0:08:51.360 Well, FIFA is doing something similar in the next few years. 0:08:51.400 --> 0:08:53.320 They're doing it in I think three countries. 0:08:53.559 --> 0:08:57.120 Yes, for World Cup. Yeah, I saw that well. We've 0:08:57.160 --> 0:08:59.560 been saying this for ages. The fight island idea where 0:08:59.559 --> 0:09:02.760 we just have one sporting complex all sports events and 0:09:03.160 --> 0:09:06.319 each year you rotate through whatever it is. So this year, yeah, 0:09:06.400 --> 0:09:09.040 it's all in Qatar. This year it'll be the Olympics. 0:09:09.080 --> 0:09:11.040 Next year it's the FIFA World Cup, the year after 0:09:11.120 --> 0:09:13.040 it's whatever, and it's all played in the same spot. 0:09:13.080 --> 0:09:15.160 It's just one single place that you can go to 0:09:15.200 --> 0:09:17.720 and watch it all. It makes no sense. It also 0:09:17.920 --> 0:09:20.520 really annoys me that I was like looking forward to 0:09:20.559 --> 0:09:22.160 a bit of a cricket World Cup and we get home, 0:09:22.200 --> 0:09:25.559 We get home and already we're playing for our lives 0:09:25.640 --> 0:09:28.440 in game two. I feel like we've waited so long 0:09:28.480 --> 0:09:31.080 for this World Cup to come around and didn't. We 0:09:31.160 --> 0:09:33.640 didn't play for the first like two weeks. No, we 0:09:33.679 --> 0:09:36.000 didn't do a warm up either, didn't do any warm ups, 0:09:36.160 --> 0:09:38.440 haven't done basically anything. Now all of a sudden, it 0:09:38.520 --> 0:09:39.680 could be over on Thursday. 0:09:39.920 --> 0:09:42.600 Yeah, twelve thirty Thursday midday, twelve thirty mid day, not 0:09:42.600 --> 0:09:45.600 twelve thirty midnight. So great thing to watch long at 0:09:45.600 --> 0:09:48.040 work on Skysport nine because we're covering that one. 0:09:48.160 --> 0:09:50.400 Yep. But that's pretty much a summary. 0:09:50.480 --> 0:09:54.200 So Ifrica just held off Bangladesh overnight, needed a six 0:09:54.240 --> 0:09:55.760 off the last ball. They lost two weekends in the 0:09:55.840 --> 0:09:57.800 last over, so they shot themselves in the foot. Yeah, 0:09:57.880 --> 0:09:59.640 and needed six off the last ball. Couldn't do it, 0:10:00.559 --> 0:10:03.440 so Safka sqeaks through. There is there something weird going 0:10:03.440 --> 0:10:05.480 on at this World Cup? Or is this just a 0:10:05.520 --> 0:10:07.960 T twenty World Cup where T twenty's got so much 0:10:08.040 --> 0:10:09.720 variance that anyone could win any game. 0:10:09.800 --> 0:10:10.280 I think there's a. 0:10:10.240 --> 0:10:13.439 Few key things, like spinner's playing a massive part. Think 0:10:13.480 --> 0:10:16.520 I've seen most games I've watched, they've opened with a spinner. 0:10:16.920 --> 0:10:18.080 Right spinners are good. 0:10:18.240 --> 0:10:21.600 The West Indies have got this great left armor who 0:10:21.640 --> 0:10:24.720 basically bowls this in swinger. The he turns it away, 0:10:24.720 --> 0:10:26.079 turns it away, and then he bowls a quick in 0:10:26.200 --> 0:10:29.240 swinger and he's getting so many wickets, but a. 0:10:29.200 --> 0:10:31.480 Genuine it's not drift, it's a genuine yeah. 0:10:31.600 --> 0:10:35.720 Right, And you got Rashid Khan for Afghanistan who just 0:10:35.800 --> 0:10:37.800 owned us, absolutely owned us. 0:10:38.800 --> 0:10:40.559 He's there one mean bowler. Yeah. 0:10:40.640 --> 0:10:44.720 And then they've got the left armor who mimics Trent Bolt. 0:10:44.880 --> 0:10:47.360 He got four wickets against us. He Trent bolted us. 0:10:47.920 --> 0:10:50.960 He's about maybe ten centimeters shorter than Trent Bolt, but 0:10:51.120 --> 0:10:54.480 his action is modeled on Trent. 0:10:54.280 --> 0:10:56.400 Bolt mouth size speaks. 0:10:56.200 --> 0:10:58.600 And apart from that, it's only the action. And they 0:10:58.679 --> 0:11:00.600 did a split screen in the game against and it 0:11:00.679 --> 0:11:02.400 was like very similar. 0:11:02.520 --> 0:11:03.880 He out Tromp bolted trampone. 0:11:03.920 --> 0:11:05.920 Yeah, and he did, and he got four wickets. Rush 0:11:06.000 --> 0:11:08.680 you can't got four wickets. It was every team's got 0:11:08.679 --> 0:11:12.160 like a quite a mean strike spin bowler. Zampas playing 0:11:12.200 --> 0:11:16.880 well for Australia and we've got Satner, which you know, look, 0:11:17.080 --> 0:11:18.520 I love Satna. 0:11:18.200 --> 0:11:20.400 I said for the longest time. Not a spin bowler. 0:11:20.679 --> 0:11:23.480 He's an all arounder. He's an all rounder. He is 0:11:23.520 --> 0:11:26.600 a great bowler. But it doesn't he's not a prolific 0:11:26.679 --> 0:11:27.440 turner of the ball. 0:11:27.600 --> 0:11:29.720 So there's a lot of pressure on him and Bracewell 0:11:29.960 --> 0:11:33.400 and I don't that's that's I think that's unfair. Yeah, 0:11:33.600 --> 0:11:36.680 Lackie Ferguson he bowled well. He really put the brakes 0:11:36.679 --> 0:11:41.640 on Afghanistan. But just where we dropped catches, we misfielding, 0:11:41.720 --> 0:11:45.400 there was overthrows. It was a real tough watch and 0:11:45.440 --> 0:11:47.360 that's why we had to reform the Black Cap Supporter 0:11:47.440 --> 0:11:49.520 support group and we sold ad T shirts and people 0:11:49.559 --> 0:11:52.480 were getting people were getting around each other, people were 0:11:52.480 --> 0:11:56.320 booking scout hauls and you know, we may have we've 0:11:56.320 --> 0:11:59.079 all penciled them in for Friday. Yeah, because we've got 0:11:59.080 --> 0:12:02.480 West Indies at home. Yeah we've got it. Oh of course. 0:12:02.800 --> 0:12:04.880 So we've got a standing reservation at the Silver Band 0:12:04.920 --> 0:12:05.720 Hall and every town. 0:12:05.800 --> 0:12:09.200 Yeah, that's right, So you know, book the halls Friday, 0:12:09.480 --> 0:12:12.840 tune in and like if you're gonna, if you're gonna 0:12:12.840 --> 0:12:14.720 watch along and share the pain. 0:12:14.760 --> 0:12:16.920 And there's no better commentary team to do it within us. 0:12:17.559 --> 0:12:22.120 So Skysport nine on Thursday twelve thirty, What what. 0:12:22.040 --> 0:12:24.040 Do we do with that money? Because that's blood money, 0:12:24.120 --> 0:12:26.200 the money that we make, we do. 0:12:26.280 --> 0:12:28.800 We basically reinvested in buying the more stupid shit like 0:12:29.280 --> 0:12:32.960 the three hundred hip flasks we've got, oh yes, of course, 0:12:33.080 --> 0:12:36.600 which in hindsight we should have activated at the New 0:12:36.679 --> 0:12:39.800 Zealand Radio and Podcast Awards because during the ceremony they 0:12:39.800 --> 0:12:41.960 have it in a theater and alcohol's band, you like, 0:12:42.000 --> 0:12:44.720 they don't serve drinks before we should have stood outside 0:12:44.760 --> 0:12:47.400 the front and handed out acc hip flask who would 0:12:47.400 --> 0:12:48.360 have been the biggest heroes. 0:12:48.760 --> 0:12:51.760 So maybe next year. Hindsight, Eh, yeah, hindsight from the 0:12:51.960 --> 0:12:55.320 from the sounds of things, no one was thinking straight. No, okay, good, 0:12:55.360 --> 0:12:57.040 thank you. You got me back at okay speed with the 0:12:57.200 --> 0:12:59.199 Cricket World Cup. Let's take quick break. We'll come back 0:12:59.200 --> 0:13:04.760 with some more sport. The National Basketball Association finally into 0:13:04.800 --> 0:13:07.839 your favorite part of the season then, and it actually 0:13:07.880 --> 0:13:10.280 it gets your will, so you usually only churn into 0:13:10.320 --> 0:13:12.640 the finals, but against your will. This season, it seems 0:13:12.640 --> 0:13:14.559 that your kids have been keeping you up to date. Yeah, 0:13:14.600 --> 0:13:18.040 I've been involved early. Yeah, and it has. I've noticed 0:13:18.520 --> 0:13:23.320 my sisters and she's eleven about turn twelve. She loves 0:13:23.480 --> 0:13:25.800 the NBA as well. They've done a great job of 0:13:26.559 --> 0:13:27.680 wrestling the kids attention. 0:13:28.000 --> 0:13:30.959 Well, they've done. I've mentioned it before. It's a pretty 0:13:31.000 --> 0:13:37.239 simple formula. They basically haven't restricted the use of footage 0:13:37.559 --> 0:13:40.760 on any social media platform, so anyone can grab footage 0:13:41.280 --> 0:13:44.240 and put their own little highlight three altogether on TikTok, YouTube, 0:13:45.400 --> 0:13:49.840 on shorts or whatever reels and they just go for it. 0:13:49.880 --> 0:13:53.559 And so the whole time they're scrolling through NBA content. Yeah, 0:13:53.600 --> 0:13:54.920 he knows, he knows. 0:13:55.000 --> 0:13:56.600 I reckon. You know as many players as you do 0:13:56.640 --> 0:13:58.760 in the NBA. My twelve year old, Yeah he was. 0:13:59.520 --> 0:14:01.680 He's playing the PlayStation game as well. Yeah. 0:14:01.720 --> 0:14:03.520 Yeah, and he's commentating when we're watching highlights. 0:14:03.520 --> 0:14:04.640 He goes, go rude. 0:14:06.840 --> 0:14:07.760 They've done a great job. 0:14:07.760 --> 0:14:10.439 They've like, you know what, whoever wants to consume this 0:14:10.600 --> 0:14:11.880 content can consume it. 0:14:11.920 --> 0:14:13.360 We're not going to be anal about it. 0:14:13.640 --> 0:14:18.120 You look at some other uh you know sports are 0:14:18.200 --> 0:14:21.120 so anal about their protective of their content that they 0:14:21.360 --> 0:14:24.120 restrict it, whereas the NBA are like, nah, man, fucking 0:14:24.120 --> 0:14:24.800 fail your boots. 0:14:24.880 --> 0:14:26.720 Yeah. And so the result of that is what they 0:14:26.720 --> 0:14:29.680 have now is these massive fan bases who don't even 0:14:29.680 --> 0:14:33.440 watch games. No, and these people I probably put myself 0:14:33.480 --> 0:14:36.680 in this category where I consume more NBA content that's 0:14:36.720 --> 0:14:39.080 adjacent to the games than I actually watch minutes of 0:14:39.120 --> 0:14:39.720 game time. 0:14:39.800 --> 0:14:42.120 I can hand on heart say my twelve years of 0:14:42.160 --> 0:14:45.200 assessment has not watched an entire game of NBA. 0:14:45.440 --> 0:14:46.240 Yeah, exactly. 0:14:46.720 --> 0:14:48.800 Because I've tried to say, do you want to watch 0:14:48.800 --> 0:14:52.920 the the MAVs game, He's like, well to do that, 0:14:53.520 --> 0:14:53.800 I was just. 0:14:53.800 --> 0:14:57.280 Going to watch the highlightsighlights afterwards. Yeah, And it does 0:14:57.320 --> 0:14:59.480 it changes the way that they think of these players 0:14:59.520 --> 0:15:01.720 because all the see his highlights. Yeah, like, oh he's 0:15:01.760 --> 0:15:03.960 like this. Then you watch games like yeah, he just 0:15:04.000 --> 0:15:07.520 does that once every three games. Quite funny. This is 0:15:07.640 --> 0:15:09.880 beside the point, but a kind of relative. 0:15:10.360 --> 0:15:13.680 Luka Doncicic he thinks that Luka Doncic is the person 0:15:13.720 --> 0:15:16.120 from the Burns Co, which is a marine. 0:15:15.800 --> 0:15:17.080 Store in New Zealand. 0:15:17.240 --> 0:15:18.920 And there's a guy on the side of burns Cow 0:15:18.960 --> 0:15:21.120 if you go to Albany who's got a life jacket 0:15:21.160 --> 0:15:22.640 on and holding a water ski. 0:15:22.760 --> 0:15:24.720 And he one hundred percent sweath. 0:15:24.760 --> 0:15:26.800 He reckons it's Luka Doncic And I was like, it's 0:15:26.800 --> 0:15:29.080 not Luca donic it is Luca Donic. I was like, 0:15:29.520 --> 0:15:32.840 this is a marine supply store in Albany, New Zealander. 0:15:33.360 --> 0:15:36.480 They have not got Luca don Chiz to put a 0:15:36.520 --> 0:15:38.280 life jacket on. I'll take a photo of it next 0:15:38.280 --> 0:15:39.960 time we go parties that I've seen it through. But 0:15:39.960 --> 0:15:42.280 if you are going turning off to Albany to go 0:15:42.280 --> 0:15:45.200 to Albany more on the left hand side, have a 0:15:45.240 --> 0:15:47.120 look at the side of Burns Co. And then the 0:15:47.240 --> 0:15:51.040 dude there that my son is obsessed with that he thinks, 0:15:51.040 --> 0:15:52.440 says luk at don Chic and how did they get 0:15:52.520 --> 0:15:53.480 luc ad don Chic to pose? 0:15:53.920 --> 0:15:55.200 How did they get him to agree to it? It's 0:15:55.240 --> 0:15:57.120 funny to say that. I don't know if you've heard. 0:15:57.160 --> 0:15:59.440 Both got back from Bali and there was a there's 0:15:59.560 --> 0:16:03.040 signs everywhere for this, like pedals big over there, like pickleballs. 0:16:03.080 --> 0:16:07.280 Oh yeah yeah, And one franchise of pedal court uses 0:16:07.360 --> 0:16:11.480 Cristiano Ronaldo as the image and they've like crudely bunshot 0:16:11.520 --> 0:16:14.360 the racket into his head and it's like he doesn't 0:16:14.440 --> 0:16:18.400 know that's there. Yeah, what what's he gonna do about it? 0:16:18.560 --> 0:16:21.800 First of all, all like, is he's just that call 0:16:21.880 --> 0:16:23.640 that people have? Oh, work it? So I'll go there 0:16:23.840 --> 0:16:28.360 because surely you throw Confederer or Jocovich or Paul Cole. 0:16:28.440 --> 0:16:31.480 I don't know someone that's like racket sport ad Jason. 0:16:32.400 --> 0:16:34.800 I thought that was hilarious. But anyway, so we here's 0:16:34.800 --> 0:16:38.040 where we're out at the moment. Game two was yesterday. 0:16:38.320 --> 0:16:40.360 Celtics won that one. So they've won the first two 0:16:40.440 --> 0:16:43.440 games at home, and how the series works is the 0:16:43.520 --> 0:16:47.640 next two games will be on the road Dallas, Dallas. 0:16:48.120 --> 0:16:51.360 Then it goes one one one after that. So they 0:16:51.480 --> 0:16:54.080 usually say that a series doesn't start till a home 0:16:54.120 --> 0:16:57.400 team loses, so you know, people people riding off the 0:16:57.480 --> 0:17:01.120 MAVs already just relaxed a little bit. But I think 0:17:01.200 --> 0:17:03.040 the star that's sort of come out of nowhere has 0:17:03.040 --> 0:17:06.000 been Kristaps Porzingis because I think the average or casual 0:17:06.080 --> 0:17:09.119 fan wouldn't have wouldn't know who he was until that 0:17:09.280 --> 0:17:12.320 game won, because he'd been injured for most of the playoffs. Now, 0:17:12.320 --> 0:17:14.560 all of a sudden he comes back. He's seven foot 0:17:14.600 --> 0:17:17.800 four and he can shoot. Yeah, and for the for 0:17:17.880 --> 0:17:19.719 the longest time, they'll say, no, this guy is going 0:17:19.760 --> 0:17:22.639 to be basically like what Victor wembin Yama is like 0:17:22.760 --> 0:17:25.239 now at the moment. But he's just so injured all 0:17:25.320 --> 0:17:29.280 the time. Not yeah, primarily due to the fact he's 0:17:29.280 --> 0:17:29.840 seven foot four. 0:17:29.920 --> 0:17:32.280 With the games two games back in Dallas. Yes, what 0:17:32.400 --> 0:17:35.119 I want to see I want to see vat Coley courtside, 0:17:36.080 --> 0:17:37.960 of course, because they're playing games there is Indi Area 0:17:38.040 --> 0:17:41.520 just played Pakistan in Dallas over the weekend. Yeah, so 0:17:41.760 --> 0:17:43.760 how could I'd love to I want to see jesspit 0:17:43.800 --> 0:17:48.640 Boomra and Rat Coley courtside looking dangerously confused. 0:17:48.920 --> 0:17:52.199 Yeah, yeah, dressed like absolute superstars and. 0:17:52.520 --> 0:17:55.600 Dressed like superstars but also potentially the shortest men in 0:17:56.080 --> 0:17:57.800 the whole arena, and they'd. 0:17:57.640 --> 0:18:00.440 Put them on the TV screen and everyone who yeah, 0:18:01.400 --> 0:18:02.240 Bollywood actor is he? 0:18:02.680 --> 0:18:05.159 But they probably got got bigger followers than most of 0:18:05.160 --> 0:18:06.760
