Speaker 1: Live from the Export Beer Guns Studio and brought to
Speaker 1: you by Export After the perfect beer for a Friday
Speaker 1: early knockoff. This is the Agenda Podcast for Friday, the
Speaker 1: twenty third of August.
Speaker 2: The Agenda Podcast the home of Sporting Nonsense and clap Trap.
Speaker 1: Brought to you by Next Sport of Ultra Morning Morning Man,
Speaker 1: I A. Stewart has everything going this week? Oh so good.
Speaker 1: It's good to hit a Friday.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Last night, my partner she was like, when we're not drinking,
Speaker 3: so she brought home a fake bottle of wine.
Speaker 1: Oh it was just grape Jess, how did it go?
Speaker 1: I got it?
Speaker 3: It was in a wine did taste like like Robina,
Speaker 3: but it was in a wine bottle, And so she
Speaker 3: pull me a glass and then and then I had
Speaker 3: two glasses and I was sitting in front of the
Speaker 3: teeth and going, oh, no, I'm not I thought I
Speaker 3: got a placebo drunk on.
Speaker 1: Have you ever driven a car? Even though to finish
Speaker 1: my story, I woke up this morning and I've been
Speaker 1: feeling a little bit dusty, sicking there, hungover, But then
Speaker 1: it was actually just no, I'm not right. Have you
Speaker 1: ever driven a car after six zero percent? Beers I have.
Speaker 1: That's exhilarating, it is.
Speaker 3: Yeah, have you ever driven along drinking a zero percent
Speaker 3: beer while you're driving? No, but that I imagine, I mean,
Speaker 3: would you be so bold as to drive through a
Speaker 3: checkpoint drinking a zero zero beer?
Speaker 1: So all the time you pull up there.
Speaker 3: We've got a live one here and the you got
Speaker 3: zero zero and they say, well, we're just going to
Speaker 3: fake the results and arrest you anyway.
Speaker 1: So yeah, because for being a doubt, you're as quite
Speaker 1: clearly hamred. Otherwise you wouldn't have thought this was funny.
Speaker 3: Yeah, a zero zero after twenty five normal beers does
Speaker 3: not get you off the hook.
Speaker 1: Have you ever allegedly hit a deer while driving through
Speaker 1: a forest blind drunk? I have not sounds specific to
Speaker 1: someone in the room, it would if. I mean, look,
Speaker 1: it hasn't happened, but if it did, I imagine it
Speaker 1: would be terrifying because the deer would have just been
Speaker 1: standing there steering at you, and the whole thing would
Speaker 1: have happened in slow motion. Yeah. And did the person
Speaker 1: evolve have to put the deer out of its misery? No,
Speaker 1: that the deer allegedly just bounced off the front bumper
Speaker 1: and went on with its life well, and then then
Speaker 1: stood there allegedly for another few seconds before allegedly bounding
Speaker 1: off back into the forest.
Speaker 3: My mate, fuck Knuckle. He got really steam driving up
Speaker 3: from ver Cargo wants to see us, and and he
Speaker 3: plowed through like like some sheep had got out of
Speaker 3: the panic and he plowed through fifty sheep.
Speaker 1: It was like a national scandal. And fifty sheep. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: you know, I didn't think he kilt, like hit fifty sheep,
Speaker 1: but he had.
Speaker 3: I don't know the percentage of sheep he had, but
Speaker 3: there was fifty sheep on the road and he plowed
Speaker 3: into them. It was just horrific, Like just thinking about
Speaker 3: how horrible that cleanup would have been. And yeah, and
Speaker 3: when you don't get the name fuck Knuckle for well,
Speaker 3: that's it, isn't it. That's the kind of behavior you
Speaker 3: get up to on the way back.
Speaker 1: Home from the lakes and sort of Odamatada area back
Speaker 1: through to wayomany one time we're at the fish and
Speaker 1: chip shop and the Kurau home Orige McCaw. Yeah, threw
Speaker 1: leftover fish and chips onto the road and a car
Speaker 1: came around the corner at one hundred ks and cleaned
Speaker 1: up what honestly felt like fifty sea guys. It was horrendous.
Speaker 1: It was like, yeah, well large feathers.
Speaker 4: Well.
Speaker 1: G Lane threw a topper onto the road and some
Speaker 1: chips by the two four.
Speaker 3: D just south of the octagon and dneda and I'll
Speaker 3: never forget the sound of car heading seagull.
Speaker 1: It's quite a thud coming down that same road. One time,
Speaker 1: my mother and I and she hit a duck. Poor
Speaker 1: duck just can get out of the road quick enough.
Speaker 1: And we stopped because like it was all splittered through
Speaker 1: the grill, and we stopped at the petrol station and
Speaker 1: the attendant was just like, because a look, I do
Speaker 1: your hood for a second, and he popped the hood.
Speaker 1: Sure enough, duck beak coming out from behind the radiator.
Speaker 1: Are we sure that ducks are good parents. I'm fairly
Speaker 1: certain they're not, because.
Speaker 3: A duck will be like I've got seventeen ducklings and
Speaker 3: I'm just going to cross a main road here, I.
Speaker 1: Reckon the duck. I don't think that active parents. I
Speaker 1: think they're just doing what they're doing. And if the
Speaker 1: ducklings come along, and the ducklings come along. Yeah, they're
Speaker 1: not actively parenting them.
Speaker 3: I once went to watch the Oxford v Cambridge rowing
Speaker 3: race on the Thames. Was that the old shit in Hemmersmith,
Speaker 3: that pub and a duck with its ducklings, and one
Speaker 3: of the ducks was getting sucked towards a drain, and
Speaker 3: the whole crowd like there must have been ten thousand
Speaker 3: people there were just horrify, just just to praying that
Speaker 3: the praying that the duck would not get sucked down
Speaker 3: the hole, and that little duckling forught and fought and
Speaker 3: fort and finally got out of there.
Speaker 1: It was one of the most The whole crowd went up.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was you know, this race was going past
Speaker 3: and the duckling getting out of the drain was so
Speaker 3: important that people were cheers and the vibe for the
Speaker 3: rest of the day it was beautiful summer's day. Just
Speaker 3: that that one duckling made put a lot of joy
Speaker 3: to Yeah, as.
Speaker 1: You say, a bunch of tots who wouldn't have been
Speaker 1: used to seeing that kind of thing. No, I am
Speaker 1: in a past life. Sure our packers around the UK,
Speaker 1: and because no one's making a cent off in our packer,
Speaker 1: they're not livestock. They're essentially pets. They are all owned
Speaker 1: by tofts. Ah, So you end up going to these
Speaker 1: like one of these places I went to is owned
Speaker 1: by She was a lawyer, the woman for you know,
Speaker 1: the big two thousand and eight financial meltdown. She got
Speaker 1: a bunch of the banks in the UK bailed out
Speaker 1: as well. Ah, and so shoot billionaire Gatehouse sad to
Speaker 1: let you and blah blah blah. Her daughter had never
Speaker 1: seen someone touched there ol packers before. So I walk
Speaker 1: into the earth just looking like I looked at that time,
Speaker 1: big beard, big bushy hair, similar to how I look now,
Speaker 1: but more like when they pulled Saddam Hussein out of
Speaker 1: that hole. And so I show up and then I
Speaker 1: lifted this out packer clean off the ground, and the
Speaker 1: girl started screaming because she'd never seen the animals man
Speaker 1: handled before.
Speaker 3: So that meme that's going around now with the l
Speaker 3: packer that's been shorn except for its hair on its face,
Speaker 3: everyone's cracking up, as that would be nothing to you.
Speaker 1: You would not laugh at that. I don't even think
Speaker 1: I've seen it. It's either a lama or an el packer. Well,
Speaker 1: the banana ears of the key Lama Sean. I mean
Speaker 1: there's a bunch of photos of them were used to
Speaker 1: our calling card was shaving a mullet into the olt
Speaker 1: packer right, so to be all entirely shorn except for
Speaker 1: the head and then down the back of the neck.
Speaker 1: Now that would have caused untold skin conditions throughout the
Speaker 1: life of that ol packer. But I can't find it.
Speaker 1: But I creeped me up. Yeah, it's a good party
Speaker 1: when you got We've got two dudes looking up for
Speaker 1: about five minutes.
Speaker 3: Could you get anything worse than two dudes sitting trying
Speaker 3: to look up pictures of Sean al Packer, Like if
Speaker 3: you're trying to make.
Speaker 1: Like it's a surreal joke, like you're an unfunny toffee
Speaker 1: British comedian ago, it's about as interesting as two podcasters
Speaker 1: sitting on their phones looking up pictures of Sean L. Packers.
Speaker 1: That's right. And if you're listening to this, I've lost
Speaker 1: a lot of respect. You know what, what, you don't
Speaker 1: have any thing better to do with your time and
Speaker 1: listen to to Urseholves look up pictures of our packers?
Speaker 1: Fuck you. Yeah.
Speaker 3: But also in their defense, they thought it was a
Speaker 3: sports that they didn't know we were going to do that.
Speaker 3: They thought we'd be we'd be getting deep into the
Speaker 3: Leon McDonald raiser.
Speaker 1: Robinson split. Yeah, I've got a theory on that.
Speaker 3: We'll get I've got a theory on that as well,
Speaker 3: and I pitched it to Joey Wheeler this morning. Let's
Speaker 3: we'll park it, we'll get back to it again. I've
Speaker 3: just got more memes to look up and just spend
Speaker 3: a little bit of time on my phone.
Speaker 1: I was. I come on the Met and Jerry show
Speaker 1: this morning covering g Lane for his weekly cross just
Speaker 1: the tip the hunch as well gave out this morning,
Speaker 1: Shawn Johnson. So much better having you than Glane. There's
Speaker 1: not like there's not like a It's like having a
Speaker 1: person that's not an arsonist to come around to your house.
Speaker 1: If you're used to an arsonist turning out once a
Speaker 1: week to twice a week to set fire to your house,
Speaker 1: it's quite nice when a fireman turns up. What did
Speaker 1: he did? We didn't do too much, But I'll tell
Speaker 1: you what he didn't do. It didn't he didn't burn
Speaker 1: the kitchen down. Yeah, that's right. And actually Glane won
Speaker 1: an award just last night. Oh yeah, I'll talk about
Speaker 1: it on the podcast. He won each each quarter, I
Speaker 1: think that one hundred dollars gets dished out to one
Speaker 1: member of staff and another ten dollars gets dished out
Speaker 1: to member staffs tradition we have. And he won ten
Speaker 1: dollars for getting canceled the other week we thought, what
Speaker 1: is the price of cancelation?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean he's definitely lost more money than ten dollars.
Speaker 3: You know, he's probably not square here again, Yeah, I
Speaker 3: don't think. I don't think that squeze up. But I
Speaker 3: won ten dollars in that as well. But I wasn't there.
Speaker 1: Oh you've got it right there. Why was it rolled
Speaker 1: up so tightly? Was it rolled up? Yeah? It's because
Speaker 1: you're off the beer and you got to It's a
Speaker 1: great question. But anyway, what did you win? Yours?
Speaker 3: For shameless self promotion across the whole company of my
Speaker 3: book of life less Punishing, perfect Father's Day gift by the.
Speaker 1: Way, So there I go again? Do I have to
Speaker 1: give you another ten dollars line? It was like managing
Speaker 1: because when my book came out, my publisher was like,
Speaker 1: were you promoent? I'll go I'll just walk around every
Speaker 1: brief show and they're all within arms reach.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I'll just walking on which Vaughn and Hailey
Speaker 3: promoted it there, or blast John on the bend that
Speaker 3: John on being I've got to swipe you to that area.
Speaker 3: They can't stop me getting into this promoting my book,
Speaker 3: So I just went everywhere.
Speaker 1: So I got ten dollars for that. Did you manage
Speaker 1: to get onto Hosking? I didn't.
Speaker 3: Actually in Hosking slagged it off, he said, because my
Speaker 3: publishers sent him a copy and they got me to
Speaker 3: sign it, and he was angry that that.
Speaker 1: You'd signed it.
Speaker 3: That he iay thought that he was an influencer because
Speaker 3: he saw that he saw the list of people that
Speaker 3: had got it.
Speaker 1: I would say that, and then he was like, I'm
Speaker 1: not screw that. I'm not going to read it. If
Speaker 1: Matt's not going to give me a version. I don't know.
Speaker 3: It was a tongue in check because he's always doing
Speaker 3: those tongue in cheese slack offs. But I was like,
Speaker 3: he's mentioning it, that's right. Yeah, So I mean he's
Speaker 3: mentioning it to the biggest audience. So I probably shifted
Speaker 3: a few units. I'm having a little bit, but he's
Speaker 3: been very nice about other stuff in the past, so
Speaker 3: he just sort of had a bit of a shot
Speaker 3: a few across my bow ironic that.
Speaker 1: He thinks he's not an influencer, because he also thinks
Speaker 1: he has the most influence out of any broadcaster. So
Speaker 1: you sort of a swings aroundabouts analog influencer, analog influencer.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, like the idea that because you're influencing on
Speaker 3: social media. I mean, we're all influencers.
Speaker 1: Everyone's an influencer.
Speaker 3: I mean I'm constantly influencing my kids with my bullshit
Speaker 3: takes whilere watching the news.
Speaker 1: The amount of influence I have over my cat. You know,
Speaker 1: there's a huge cat influencer, whether it.
Speaker 3: Cat influence. How many followers you got one just just
Speaker 3: just the one cat. Yeah, it only follows me.
Speaker 1: No. I mentioned coming on your show about five minutes ago.
Speaker 1: I wanted to say that you accused you've brought to
Speaker 1: my attention a curse that I didn't know I had.
Speaker 3: Well, to be fair, I'm not sure that it is
Speaker 3: a curse or not, but I was as sort of
Speaker 3: a protocolish and I think I might have made up
Speaker 3: protocol that doesn't exist, because when we met MICHAELA. Blyth
Speaker 3: And in middle Yes, you put it around your neck,
Speaker 3: And I thought, and I'm not sure people might be
Speaker 3: able to tell us on the talk pack function on
Speaker 3: the iHeartRadio app with the yours please whether it is
Speaker 3: some kind of protocol that you have to have won
Speaker 3: the medal to put it around your neck.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I always thought it was that.
Speaker 3: So I held it up in this kind of weird
Speaker 3: way in the pictures where I look actually quite a
Speaker 3: lot like you Grant in the picture, which I was
Speaker 3: quite happy with. Not many people would be heavy with
Speaker 3: it looking like you Grant, but I am that's what
Speaker 3: I need. But I'm holding up on a weird way.
Speaker 3: But you put it around your neck, and I just
Speaker 3: think of anything happens this weekend sporting wise, it doesn't
Speaker 3: go our way, I think they could.
Speaker 1: Be the start of a new curse.
Speaker 3: So I'm yeah, so whatever happens this weekend is that
Speaker 3: it could be the curse of the gold medal.
Speaker 1: It could be that was that only this week was
Speaker 1: that Tuesday? Yeah it was Tuesday. Yeah, it seems like
Speaker 1: a long time ago. So yeah, so it's really in
Speaker 1: my defense a couple of points. First, as she she
Speaker 1: told me to put it around my neck. Okay. Her
Speaker 1: second point was, and I said this this morning, if
Speaker 1: the rule is you're only allowed to put it on
Speaker 1: if you won it. Yeah, she said, we all wont it.
Speaker 1: New Zealand won it. This is New Zealand's medal. So yeah,
Speaker 1: you're rights and tertiary piece of evidence you're on. The
Speaker 1: strap was so worn out and dirty, like it had
Speaker 1: been by a lot of people constantly.
Speaker 3: Right, Okay, well we'll take that into account potentially depending
Speaker 3: on how the results go this weekend. But I've got
Speaker 3: to say, if I won the medal as well as
Speaker 3: she did, because we all want.
Speaker 1: It, we did, why is she in such good shape?
Speaker 1: And I'm such a piece of chef. That's a good point.
Speaker 1: Why don't I get the physical games as well? Well?
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, how come I'm running? They sloppy rig if
Speaker 3: I'm inn lumpack?
Speaker 1: Yeah, riddle me that, McCay, Yeah quick. That one out
Speaker 1: in Hillary, by the way, last night, absolutely smashed Jonah
Speaker 1: and the greatest New Zealander Oh really yeah, obliterated him. Wow,
Speaker 1: I didn't expect that. Over a thousand votes on Instagram
Speaker 1: as well and seventy nine percent in favor of her. Ed.
Speaker 1: I wonder why that is.
Speaker 3: I guess it did a lot of charity work as
Speaker 3: he grew older and did a lot of stuff putting
Speaker 3: earputs into Nepal. So that second part was tragically Jonah
Speaker 3: had that that later part of his life stolen from
Speaker 3: him by ill health.
Speaker 1: That that exact point was raised in the comments on Instagram,
Speaker 1: to which someone replied and said, yeah, but I never
Speaker 1: saw Edd Hillary run over Mike Cat, so swings and roundabouts.
Speaker 3: Really so I sort of looking back at that tackle
Speaker 3: by Mike Cat and he's sort of going backwards as
Speaker 3: such sympathetic. I mean, he went on to have a
Speaker 3: fantastic career Mike Cat. Overall, he probably made a lot
Speaker 3: more money. He was in the team for a lot
Speaker 3: longer the English team obviously. I mean, no one's excited
Speaker 3: about him as they are Joana O Lomba. But if
Speaker 3: you talk about longevity of career, then Mike Kat is
Speaker 3: a a English rugby legion.
Speaker 1: But so I don't I think I might have packed
Speaker 1: up and gone home after that, like pack my boots
Speaker 1: up after that, because he's sort of going backwards. He
Speaker 1: puts his hands up, and he just had resigned himself. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it resigned himself to getting run over by Jonah Lommer. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was kind of like, this is going to happen,
Speaker 1: so just go with it. You know what can I do?
Speaker 1: Am I going to rally against it? Probably to Jonah
Speaker 1: on his ass? I'm going to get st them road
Speaker 1: And you know, yeah, I don't think I would have
Speaker 1: heard of Mike Catt or wouldn't have remembered him if
Speaker 1: he had.
Speaker 3: I've got two stories about both of those people's downstairs,
Speaker 3: as if you've got time to hear them.
Speaker 1: Always one.
Speaker 3: Jerry Wells went to the same gym as Joona loom
Speaker 3: Me for a while and it was a it was
Speaker 3: a it was an elite gym only for the most
Speaker 3: elite people. And so your clothes are there and washed
Speaker 3: and dried, and all the people that work in this gym.
Speaker 3: You have to be invited to go to this gym,
Speaker 3: and it's gentlemen only, and all the people the trainers
Speaker 3: there are like in their eighties and they kind of
Speaker 3: wear suits and stuff and so, and your your clothes
Speaker 3: are waiting for you there and your locker.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's only by invite over. I assumed six is
Speaker 1: a large part of this arrangement, and that's got an
Speaker 1: eye why shut kind of vibe about it.
Speaker 3: But John Loma was a member and all the business
Speaker 3: round Table and all these kind of elite people, so
Speaker 3: you know, of course they invite John Alma. Do you
Speaker 3: want to go to this first gym? He's like, yeah, yes,
Speaker 3: of course, of course I do. And so these flesh
Speaker 3: people also want, like actual people that are flashed. And
Speaker 3: then did they take his kidney out of Yeah, I
Speaker 3: think there was some kind of kidney rich all that
Speaker 3: I mean. But so Jerry got extensive lock at what
Speaker 3: Jonah Lomma was running and he said pretty.
Speaker 1: Oh see, I always sort of feel like God balances
Speaker 1: the balance sheet. Yeah, but evidently not. Some people just
Speaker 1: have it all.
Speaker 3: And secondly, second story around Sudmand Hillary is downstairs, Mark Sainsbury, yes,
Speaker 3: and Tom Tom Scott. They went back for a special
Speaker 3: re like an anniversary trip to Mount Everest and they
Speaker 3: were writing story about it and they and Sir Edmund
Speaker 3: Hilly was there. But Sir Edmond Hillary old at the time,
Speaker 3: got a terrible case of ad altitude sickness and he
Speaker 3: was unconscious and then he sort of came around, but
Speaker 3: he needed to weep and he couldn't get out of
Speaker 3: his bed, and it was it was complicated, and so
Speaker 3: Mark Sainsbury had to grab.
Speaker 1: Sand Hillary's.
Speaker 3: Penis and put it into a bottle to urinate it
Speaker 3: so it has strong super he had.
Speaker 1: He had to tending it.
Speaker 3: He had to carry the thing at the last few
Speaker 3: inches to get to the top and put it in
Speaker 3: a bottle. Well, Hilly unleashed into the bottle.
Speaker 1: Wow. Also apparently an impressive operation. Gave a good account
Speaker 1: of himself. Yeah he did six six apparently. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: made a joke.
Speaker 3: He goes a bit you didn't think you could be
Speaker 3: holding on to the guy climb mountain? Was a deck
Speaker 3: this morning when you got up?
Speaker 1: Did you or some kind of rye aside like that.
Speaker 1: So he got his sure about Yeah, did not think.
Speaker 1: Didn't have Yeah, didn't have edd Hillary's deck on my
Speaker 1: Bengo card for today's podcast. But yeah. He smashed Joan
Speaker 1: seventy over twelve hundred votes on Instagram as well. This
Speaker 1: thing is hot en up and today two dear friends
Speaker 1: of yours, Jason Gunn, I'm currently in a set of
Speaker 1: ads for let's KIF with him.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not getting paid to do another plug now,
Speaker 3: So you're you're in a bunch of ads for Export
Speaker 3: Ultra with him at the moment. Yeah, that's seen I
Speaker 3: built out.
Speaker 1: Versus your dear friend Stacy Jones. Oh ship, I just
Speaker 1: saw Stacy Jones. He was out there. Yeah, they said
Speaker 1: a press con and to announced the KIWIS schedule, which,
Speaker 1: again as it.
Speaker 3: Wasn't for your wasn't a proof conference about his big
Speaker 3: face off today against Jason Gunn.
Speaker 1: No, it wasn't. Who's taller Jason Gunn or Stacy Jones.
Speaker 1: Jason Gunn would be, wouldn't he? Probably you've seen both
Speaker 1: of them recently, I have neither of them. Are all
Speaker 1: both great New Zealanders. Who's less sure? I guess the
Speaker 1: way to describe it. I don't know how this one's
Speaker 1: going to go. I just I really can't pick it too.
Speaker 1: That's so apples and peers. That's what's happening in the
Speaker 1: second round. Yeah, so I think Stacy Jones, but I
Speaker 1: could be way off on that. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Well, Jason Gunn does a lot of you know, he's
Speaker 3: on broadcasts a long time since he was like eighteen
Speaker 3: years old. Yeah, and also he said in credily successful career,
Speaker 3: his daughter is on a US sitcom at the moment,
Speaker 3: Is that right? Yep, she's on that show Animal Control
Speaker 3: with the bloody guy from Community.
Speaker 1: What's his name?
Speaker 3: I can't remember tall, not that that helps him, but
Speaker 3: Joe McKay, John McCall. Yeah, so she's she's in this
Speaker 3: third season on NBC or something. So she's a very
Speaker 3: successful actress over there.
Speaker 1: Givin McAll. It's John McAll and Stacy Jones took us
Speaker 1: to the two thousand and two Grand Final. So yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's true.
Speaker 3: And also it's done a lot of work around giving
Speaker 3: people quick cash if they need it.
Speaker 1: That's all right. Yeah? How many daries has Jason Gunn
Speaker 1: rolled in the coach's box for the Warriors this season? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I would argue, no, I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I can't pick that one. But then yeah, god, I
Speaker 1: would have totally picked jone to win. So you know,
Speaker 1: even if I am picking up then that's right. So
Speaker 1: you're a chance to vote on that on Instagram and Facebook,
Speaker 1: Go and have your say. There's round two and yeah,
Speaker 1: we'll tell you who won on Monday. There's plethora of
Speaker 1: rounds to get through this weekend. All right, We're going

Speaker 1: don't know, maybe talk sports. The biggest sporting story this
Speaker 1: week is Shawn Johnson Stadium tonight. Yep, you're heating out
Speaker 1: to the game. Did I ask you this the other day? No,
Speaker 1: I'm not, because I'm I've got a speech. I'm doing

Speaker 3: see I want to see some you know, the I

Speaker 1: nine and we'll be telling you all, I'm sure they've
Speaker 1: got a lot up their sleeve, and watch the lights
Speaker 1: and the opposition commentary box. Yes, because it's in your
Speaker 1: side of the thing. Yeah, I've got I can reach
Speaker 1: the light switch for the visiting coach, So I'll be
Speaker 1: fucking with them bless. Yeah. The the reason that Stacey
Speaker 1: Jones was in this morning is because the Kiwis have
Speaker 1: just announstayed three test series. There's going to be the
Speaker 1: Pacific Nations Cup. I think they called it or something
Speaker 1: like that, same thing they did last year. Basically, the
Speaker 1: two biggest things that came out of that for me,
Speaker 1: one was Roger to us ship has pledged his allegiance
Speaker 1: to someone, which tells me he did not get picked
Speaker 1: and wow, well on someone anyway, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: yeah yeah. And then the other one was like when
Speaker 1: is like can Mitch Barnett switch allegiances? Like when's the
Speaker 1: wins the time up on Earth? Well, yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: state of a kind of situation. Yeah, I suppose that
Speaker 1: recently because you don't you don't want to, Yeah, you
Speaker 1: want to be what you want to be in one
Speaker 1: of those states. But idea, say if he doesn't get
Speaker 1: picked for state of Origin next year, we might find
Speaker 1: a Kewi grandmother somewhere in his lineage.
Speaker 3: God, I wish they do State of O and then
Speaker 3: the winning team plays Kiwis. That's a great idea state
Speaker 3: of o in the winner plays one more game at
Speaker 3: in Auckland against the Kiwis.
Speaker 1: Yeah that no one ever thought of that. Why is
Speaker 1: New Zealand not just one of the states of origin? Yeah,
Speaker 1: and then you make it a three way series, shy
Speaker 1: And I think this has been asked before and people
Speaker 1: are just like, oh, no, but that's not what it's
Speaker 1: always been. Yeah, but it didn't exist at a certain
Speaker 1: point exactly. Someone came up with it. Yeah, so why
Speaker 1: can't we come up with that?
Speaker 3: Would be so good though, Like then you played the
Speaker 3: win who plays the Kiwis, and then there there'll be
Speaker 3: a good ways a like a one off novelty game
Speaker 3: kind of, you know, like a one off not novelty game,
Speaker 3: and then then there would ease it into.
Speaker 1: It being a three way series. Yeah, open the gate. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so yeah, just bring much into the into the Kewys.
Speaker 1: Poris McDonald is probably the biggest, by the way, when
Speaker 1: do we stop calling him Poris McDonald? Do you remember
Speaker 1: he's playing for Canbury Dome, rattled so often that his
Speaker 1: brains were porridge and then somehow the only man to
Speaker 1: have cured himself from CTE to become a coach and
Speaker 1: now no longer a coach because he's just been sacked
Speaker 1: by Raiser. What happened?
Speaker 3: Okay, well I was I was put on the spot
Speaker 3: by Joe Wheeler this morning on what I thought on that,
Speaker 3: and I do have a theory. It's kind of half baked,
Speaker 3: but it goes back to when Razor Robinson was talking
Speaker 3: about what it was like to be the All Blacks
Speaker 3: coach during the English the English being down here and
Speaker 3: he said, well, you know, he looked around the room
Speaker 3: like he just smoked some methanfit of me and he
Speaker 3: said a lot of selectors, a lot of selectors. He goes, no, no,
Speaker 3: it's good, it's good. It's good, like you do when
Speaker 3: you've been caught telling the truth. Good, it's good to
Speaker 3: have the help a lot of selectors. And I just
Speaker 3: was thinking about it. He's a guy, I mean, he's
Speaker 3: called Raiser Robinson. He's a guy that very focused and
Speaker 3: I think, okay, this sort of wider thing like Steve
Speaker 3: Henson was a coach, but he was a mess of
Speaker 3: political operator in New Zealand rugby, so he wasn't he
Speaker 3: he was establishment. Raiser sort of come there and he's
Speaker 3: not establishment and he is dealing with a lot of
Speaker 3: stuff from a lot of people, a lot of selectors,
Speaker 3: a lot of politics from New Zealand Rugby union, and
Speaker 3: I think they would be hard for a person to
Speaker 3: deal with. So I think he's just going I just don't.
Speaker 3: I just need my team under me to be on
Speaker 3: my side because I'm getting a lot of shit from
Speaker 3: above me without some other guy without So yeah, So
Speaker 3: I think it's just.
Speaker 1: One too many things.
Speaker 3: He needs someone that's completely on his side to fight
Speaker 3: the good fight around selections and around because this chat
Speaker 3: it's around the Mark Talia Princess Tilias selection. Yes, apparently
Speaker 3: there's Leon wanted him, you know, blues player whatever, and
Speaker 3: it didn't pure selection, pure speculation that's been made by
Speaker 3: a lot of people. But he's like, I've got all
Speaker 3: these selectors around me, I'm having to deal with all
Speaker 3: these people.
Speaker 1: I need you to not be the person I'm arguing with.
Speaker 1: We need to be a team.
Speaker 5: You know that.
Speaker 1: That's my polling it out of my ass understanding of
Speaker 1: the situation. And then also like a big part I
Speaker 1: was reading an article this morning it was saying a
Speaker 1: big part of the Crusaders thing was like if there's
Speaker 1: something wrong, like call it out straight away and fix it,
Speaker 1: don't dwell on it, Yeah, fester and let it become
Speaker 1: a problem. What I think has happened. And you know,
Speaker 1: I've had inside word about this. Are you're going to
Speaker 1: scuttle my bullshit from the outside. Yeah, it's a it's
Speaker 1: a differing of opinions that has stemmed over the last
Speaker 1: few weeks. When Razor asked Leon McDonald what he made
Speaker 1: of the whole Reagun debacer, and Leo McDonald said, I
Speaker 1: actually thought it was quite good dancing, And Razor said interesting, Yeah, yeah, right,
Speaker 1: you're not coming with us to South Africa.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I can't see Raiser getting over that one. No,
Speaker 3: because how could you, how could your judgment be that poor?
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 3: Then I'm calling into question. I'm just gonna I'm not
Speaker 3: gonna respect any anything you say from now on because
Speaker 3: you don't recognize real street shit.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, that's what Ragon's gone on with third Poros McDonald. Now,
Speaker 1: the NPC's probably the only other sport that's happening this
Speaker 1: weekend as well. We've got a big, big ran Fairly
Speaker 1: shield challenge here, we do. We it's the Hawks or
Speaker 1: Hooks but obviously they hold it at McLean Park in Northland.
Speaker 1: They're going to challenge for it. They're paying four dollars twenty.
Speaker 1: That's a huge omen.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a huge omen or a bit of comedy odds,
Speaker 3: the tab the Tear Bear.
Speaker 1: Actually I'm talking to Carl from the TB on the
Speaker 1: a SEC Sports book next. I might ask him about that.
Speaker 3: Because that will excite some extra bits. If you see,
Speaker 3: I'm going to go, Yeah, I'll probably put some money
Speaker 3: on four twenty.
Speaker 1: I'm investing in it. Yeah, yeah, I'm going to invest
Speaker 1: in it quite heavily. Yeah. The the Ranfilly shield just
Speaker 1: as a as a thing, like an icon. It is
Speaker 1: so good, isn't it. Yeah. I don't know why other
Speaker 1: sports don't have it. We've talked at length about the
Speaker 1: Saudi Suitcase, which is basically a Randfilly shield that's introduced
Speaker 1: it to super rugby. But it's just got a million
Speaker 1: dollars in Saudi blood money. I love that. So instead
Speaker 1: of winning the shield, you just win cash.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll give it a luck and you get something
Speaker 3: off it. I think you get there's some kind of
Speaker 3: bonus onthing there already. If you look the current one yeah,
Speaker 3: oh absolutely it is there?
Speaker 2: Are there?
Speaker 1: Is it the actual original one or do they trot
Speaker 1: out decoy shield? Surely there's only one shield. I certainly
Speaker 1: got to be only one. But I heard that there was,
Speaker 1: you know, the actual ones in like the Rugby Museum
Speaker 1: somewhere really something, and then they, yeah, I don't know,
Speaker 1: they just have the party one. I think. So I
Speaker 1: hope that's not true. Yeah, I hope that's tru not
Speaker 1: too as well.
Speaker 3: So Also, the other NBC game this weekend I gues
Speaker 3: se whate's excited about is Tiger Canterbury in Auckland.
Speaker 1: That's the big, big grudge match. But it's also sorry,
Speaker 1: what was I talk about this? It was silly of me.
Speaker 3: I always say a Targer the big grudge match, Auckland Canterbury.
Speaker 3: This is ostensibly a sports podcast, mate, you need you
Speaker 3: fa yeah yeah, yeah yeah. But the interesting thing before that,
Speaker 3: I got the one a they the first fifteen final,
Speaker 3: oh right, against the Saint Knigan Scholarship fifteen versus Kelston
Speaker 3: Boys at two twenty they both opening for Canterbury Auckland.
Speaker 1: That'd be a pretty good game to go along to.
Speaker 1: Was it a national thing or is that just Auckland
Speaker 1: Aukland high schools. Yeah, no, the nuts of national thing,
Speaker 1: isn't it. Do you have to have a child at
Speaker 1: either high school to go along and watch? Yeah?
Speaker 3: I wonder if to be because I was think about
Speaker 3: going down because the end of the road. But people go,
Speaker 3: you don't have a kid here, you you're weird. Yeah,
Speaker 3: but I think it'd be pretty good to watch them
Speaker 3: first fifteen.
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe, I don't know. I don't think I've watched
Speaker 1: one since I left school. Right.
Speaker 3: If my son's schools playing, they get their full KT
Speaker 3: on like they're American kids and go and look for
Speaker 3: fights with the other team.
Speaker 1: And then at what point do we lose that? Because
Speaker 1: the MPC doesn't have that. Yeah, because like first fifteen games,
Speaker 1: when I was at school, there'd be you know, the
Speaker 1: white taked boys that come over the hill. They get
Speaker 1: a chainsaw no no blade on it out of that
Speaker 1: chasing each other around. You know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it gets pretty full on in my neighborhood. If
Speaker 3: my kids school playing Auckland Grammar, yeah, there these kids.
Speaker 3: There's hundreds of kids in full full KT like full full.
Speaker 4: You know, scarves, hats, gangs in New York carrying flags yeah,
Speaker 4: Gangs of New Line, and then they wouldn't even know
Speaker 4: name a single wall Black, name a single little team.
Speaker 3: They'll know everything about everyone in their first fifteen but
Speaker 3: then suddenly post school young people now just go.
Speaker 1: Fuck that sport. That's what I'm done with it. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So yeah, No, I haven't gotten out to an MPC
Speaker 1: game obviously, it's only we got two three. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: I love watching the MPC. It's my favorite, my favorite,
Speaker 1: well actually Heartland probably, But just the greater the talent
Speaker 1: discrepancy within a competition, the more enjoyable it is to
Speaker 1: watch them.
Speaker 3: Heartland's rugby is great because people can sell dummies that
Speaker 3: will move an entire defensive line.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, three meters to the left. Yeah, now you're
Speaker 1: going to have to watch twenty minutes of consecutive knock ons.
Speaker 1: It's gonna happen. Yeah. The props are not props as
Speaker 1: you would recognize them from the professional They have been
Speaker 1: in the top paddock. They have been on the top edit. Yes,
Speaker 1: they've wanted very well. And then there's always just one
Speaker 1: dude who's like, probably should be playing super rugby, yeah,
Speaker 1: just cutting through. Yeah, and you don't get to see
Speaker 1: that at any other level. You know, the old school
Speaker 1: jounalo who run down the sideline. You only see that
Speaker 1: in Heartland now.
Speaker 3: But it is quite nice because rugby now at the
Speaker 3: upper echelons and Super Rugby and International rugby, everyone is
Speaker 3: so fast and so freaking huge that the field isn't
Speaker 3: wide enough for them.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but at NPC the field just feel.
Speaker 3: It was a little bit wider, Like it just feels
Speaker 3: like you go like three or four meters to work
Speaker 3: with that you don't have on the on on Super
Speaker 3: rugby and do just rugby.
Speaker 1: It is, so I'm looking for I don't think. I
Speaker 1: don't think they televised the Heartland game. They used to
Speaker 1: do once one a week, but I don't know if
Speaker 1: they do anymore. But anyway, I'm looking forward to that,
Speaker 1: the Shield challenge. I can't see Northland winning that at
Speaker 1: four twenty, but stranger things have happened, haven't they. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's gonna make it even harder for South Canterbury to
Speaker 1: get up to challenge for it. That's even further away
Speaker 1: than as All right, let's take one more quick break.
Speaker 1: We'll come back with yours please.
Speaker 2: Yours please, brought you by Leader Home of.
Speaker 1: It's the one call it so far today, and he
Speaker 1: has this to say for himself, call it yours.
Speaker 5: Please, Lad's Black Clash Tennis. Love the idea, but you've
Speaker 5: already done the cricket versus rugby thing. So I reckon
Speaker 5: open it up sports stars from many code, let them
Speaker 5: choose their own partner. Could be another sports star, could
Speaker 5: be a comedian, could be a tennis pro, or just
Speaker 5: have the tennis pros as coaches. Only get some beers
Speaker 5: going get a DJ and there's some local talent, some
Speaker 5: shavy whoever. I reckon you be on for a good day.
Speaker 1: Unpacked that. So it's a it's the Black Clash of tennis.
Speaker 3: Yes, like we were talking about yesterday, one good athlete
Speaker 3: and they picked one.
Speaker 1: Well he's saying it could be anyone. And then you
Speaker 1: have an actual tennis player as you coach. Oh okay,
Speaker 1: And I think the best part about the way tennis
Speaker 1: works is you could have the entire thing miked up
Speaker 1: so you could hear both athletes the entire time. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I remember last year we talked to Jonathan Thurston at
Speaker 1: the Black Clash and but it was just him. Yeah, look,
Speaker 1: we had we could talk to him and I actually
Speaker 1: felt bad because we were chilling his ear off. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he was just trying to enjoy bowling at Brian Lara.
Speaker 1: But how shit was Brian? We can say that the
Speaker 1: whole thing was an embargo where we had to like
Speaker 1: talk him up. It comes on up about twenty five
Speaker 1: beers the whole day at the golf and then he
Speaker 1: was so surprised he thought it was it was like
Speaker 1: a I don't know, his testimonial game wherever. He couldn't
Speaker 1: believe it when they were like whizzling around bol mills.
Speaker 3: First one come off his chin and he was like,
Speaker 3: what the fuck I think he's supposed to be giving
Speaker 3: me half follies. He was like, I'm supposed to be
Speaker 3: getting half follies. As helmmet couldn't fit.
Speaker 1: On his face. We called for a helmet after the
Speaker 1: first ball, yeah, and they and then they sent out
Speaker 1: a child's helmet, comedy helmet. It's pretty funny. Jas is
Speaker 1: about bowled about. Yeah, yeah, that was and then well
Speaker 1: he went out, he went out, and then they didn't
Speaker 1: give him out because he was Brian Lara.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, anyway, we're supposed to be talking about this.
Speaker 3: And then, But but my point about that was then
Speaker 3: people were like going like there was heaps of feedback.
Speaker 3: It's like Jonathan Thurston's trying to play the game and
Speaker 3: the commentators are talking to them that they're they're they're
Speaker 3: calling into question the integrity of the game.
Speaker 1: I'm like, Okay, well, Jonathan Thurston's bowling at Brian Laura.
Speaker 1: What integrity?
Speaker 3: Jonathan Thurston's bowling at a fifty for fifty five year
Speaker 3: old drunk Brian Lira with a kid's helmet on.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: There were photos of Brian Lara from that afternoon with
Speaker 1: Lee Hart on the beers, and Lee was rad ass
Speaker 1: when I saw him, So I can only imagine what
Speaker 1: Brian Lara. It wouldn't be as best fit as Leeward Well, Jesus,
Speaker 1: Lee Heart did not apply sunscreen that day.
Speaker 3: That's that's what I remember from from the shots we saw,
Speaker 3: the SPF on Snacker chamion chips is very low. Speaking
Speaker 3: of which, how different is the razer we see today
Speaker 3: and press conferences compared to the one we saw at
Speaker 3: the Black Clash on a segue racing around the sideline
Speaker 3: after about four thousand beers falling off constantly.
Speaker 1: Break get a few more beers into him? Yeah, he
Speaker 1: wouldn't have sacked Loa McDonald. But yeah, I think the
Speaker 1: black class of tennis is great. Yeah, it's great.
Speaker 3: I played some tennis against Jimmy Wells at the ASP Stadium.
Speaker 1: I imagine Jeremy to be very good at tennis.
Speaker 3: He's that kind of upper lit ischlong guy that had
Speaker 3: a tennis private tennis cup. Well he's got a tennis
Speaker 3: court as he grew up at a house with a
Speaker 3: tennis court in a basketball court.
Speaker 1: And a cricket needs in housing crisis. Yeah, yeah, it
Speaker 1: was anyway, you have four families and there. Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: But I I injured myself.
Speaker 3: I like played like I couldn't walk for a literally
Speaker 3: was hobbling around and crutches for a month after playing
Speaker 3: that tennis there. So you've got to pick your partner here,
Speaker 3: for it can't just be anyone. I mean, yeah, you know,
Speaker 3: I mean, because tennis is quite full on the changing
Speaker 3: of directions that you know, you can't just go from
Speaker 3: zero to tennis, is what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: No, no, one hundred percent. But I think it's a
Speaker 1: great idea. I think you could enter a whole bunch
Speaker 1: of different, you know, combinations, Like you said, comedians and
Speaker 1: blah blah blah like Leeharder. I'd love to watch Lee
Speaker 1: play tennis.
Speaker 3: He's got a lot of power off the calves, but
Speaker 3: I don't know what he's and he can come at
Speaker 3: you straight, but I haven't seen him change direction in
Speaker 3: about twenty five years. No, because he waddles. Yeah, so
Speaker 3: he's very He's very north south, isn't it. He's like
Speaker 3: a container ship.
Speaker 1: It's like you've got to decide the course, will go
Speaker 1: that course, but you can't go around an iceberg. And
Speaker 1: then after about five thousand, he's like the Titanic I
Speaker 1: should have say, yeah, or the one tried to come
Speaker 1: out of the Harbor and America and the lights shut
Speaker 1: off and it crashed into the bridge, I know, the
Speaker 1: one in Baltimore and you're like, you can't stop, You're
Speaker 1: just still powering into it. That's Lee after about five
Speaker 1: million beers plowing into the net at. I do love
Speaker 1: that idea. So comedians versus uh, shortened street actors. I
Speaker 1: don't know what what kind of like Oh no, Johnny
Speaker 1: too Good, Yeah, Johnny too Good and Dave Dobbin and
Speaker 1: Dave Dobbin versus Raygan and Andy Lee. You know, I
Speaker 1: think I think you could open yourself up for I'd
Speaker 1: watch that, yeah, one hundred watch I'd watch that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Lee Hart and Nadie Limb versus I don't know, Simon
Speaker 1: Dello and Al Brown and oh my god, Simon Dello
Speaker 1: and l Brown. That's a cracker team. Yeah, so I reckon,
Speaker 1: there's some legs that We've got one more voicemail here,
Speaker 1: yours please.
Speaker 5: I forgot to add everybody north coxstraight.
