Speaker 1: Live for the Export Beer Garden Studio and brought to
Speaker 1: you by Export Ultra the Bear for here. This is
Speaker 1: the Agenda Podcast for Monday, the twenty second of July.
Speaker 2: The Agenda Podcast, the home of Sporting Nonsense and clap Trap,
Speaker 2: brought to you by an Export a Vulture.
Speaker 3: Morning Lane out of Witness Protection.
Speaker 4: Yeah, look, I tell you what. Witness protection is great.
Speaker 1: If you didn't have to have your kids with you, yeah,
Speaker 1: it would be it would be like a holiday.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well they make you go with your kids and yeah,
Speaker 1: you got your kids there the whole time and they're
Speaker 1: just nagging you.
Speaker 4: It's for their own safety. Yeah, that down there as well.
Speaker 4: But how was it?
Speaker 3: How was your week?
Speaker 4: Yeah it was good.
Speaker 1: It wasn't too bad at all in roads there. Yeah wet, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was wet around every I think. But yeah, it's
Speaker 1: disappointing when you're on holiday.
Speaker 4: And there's so many appearents that are just like rejoicing
Speaker 4: to Jesus this morning that their kids are going back
Speaker 4: to school.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: So, yeah, they did it tough that second week in
Speaker 4: the rain.
Speaker 1: I honestly reckon that parental leave should be enforced for
Speaker 1: all school holidays. It's ridiculous that we make parents still
Speaker 1: stick like have to try and juggle work, but then
Speaker 1: all the kids are sped out into the ye wide world. Yeah, like,
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, admittedly, one of my children ended
Speaker 1: up on the Locals Facebook page from making a disturbance
Speaker 1: in the library. Oh and I was like, okay, look,
Speaker 1: I can take that. He's not you know, selling drugs
Speaker 1: or stealing cars. He's making a disturbance in the library. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's way down the list of like Code Brown at
Speaker 1: the poles, you know, doing drugs stuff and paint whatever.
Speaker 4: But he's at the library. Disturbance of the library.
Speaker 1: Did he got a few Karens after apparently they're rude
Speaker 1: to the librarian, but he reckons the couple of Karens
Speaker 1: and they started filming them and following them around the library,
Speaker 1: following the kids around. It was weird, But anyway, I
Speaker 1: don't know what the rules are around following them around
Speaker 1: filming them.
Speaker 4: That's what happens when Yeah, that's this point was brought
Speaker 4: up by my eldest, which didn't go down well with
Speaker 4: the Karens because he knew knew his rights more than
Speaker 4: the Karens did. Say yeah, yeah, anyway.
Speaker 1: Anyway, good to heavy back, Glad toav back on board
Speaker 1: and in the studio. I want to start with the Warriors.
Speaker 1: I know it was Friday night, but jeez, that was
Speaker 1: a tough one. A lot of people have asked me
Speaker 1: this morning, Oh, jeez, how did you feel about that one.
Speaker 1: I've gotta be honest, I kind of felt the same
Speaker 1: way I felt for the last two months.
Speaker 3: I've kind of already.
Speaker 4: Resigned yourself to the fact that the Warriors it's not
Speaker 4: the yar.
Speaker 1: It was when we had to win like ninety percent
Speaker 1: of our games for the rest of the year. I
Speaker 1: was like, we're going to drop one or two and
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden it's going to be like, wow,
Speaker 1: do you put a line through them? I think, do
Speaker 1: you think it was Shaidel Harris Tavita's fault that we
Speaker 1: lost that game.
Speaker 4: On ndred percent? Not his fault because he's the fourth's
Speaker 4: during kickick because you have Shaan Johnson Pompey paining to
Speaker 4: a picky and then he probably doesn't even practice. I
Speaker 4: can't imagine your fourth choice of goal kicker even practices.
Speaker 3: Nah.
Speaker 1: So, but he doesn't even kick if he even if
Speaker 1: he was playing down in New South Wales Cup. He
Speaker 1: wouldn't have been kicking there. They've got you know they're
Speaker 1: gonna fallback, they can kick their halves.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't. I don't think it's not his fault.
Speaker 1: But Webby did come out and say the Kicks didn't
Speaker 1: let us lose us the game.
Speaker 3: They did.
Speaker 4: The Kicks definitely lost the game, but it wasn't But
Speaker 4: it wasn't Jane Harris Devita's fault.
Speaker 1: No, I agree with you. I don't think it was
Speaker 1: his fault. He shouldn't have and there shouldn't have been
Speaker 1: any stress. He was beating himself up after the game.
Speaker 1: But I always have the like mindset of if I
Speaker 1: shouldn't have been doing it, then I've got that. I
Speaker 1: don't feel any pressure in the situation, so I should
Speaker 1: fuck this up. Do you know whose fault it is? Yes,
Speaker 1: Chris Keys, it is Chris Kese this. I've got the audio.
Speaker 1: I pulled the audio this morning. Have a listen to this.
Speaker 1: It is one of the all time a SEC commentators curses.
Speaker 3: And the try has been confirmed.
Speaker 1: And I tell you what, me and I not even
Speaker 1: Chanel Harris de Vita can miss it from there. I
Speaker 1: hope that could go down as one of the all
Speaker 1: time commentators.
Speaker 3: Curses Chris, I hope you're wrong. Surely not draw draw
Speaker 3: the game.
Speaker 1: Surely not the way he just squinted his eyes here
Speaker 1: literally posts in front of him right now, do I
Speaker 1: He looked at the post way up and looking at
Speaker 1: the screen the whole game.
Speaker 4: That's on you.
Speaker 3: So he shacked around the door at me. Yet that
Speaker 3: fair enough.
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry everyone, I am so sorry for that.
Speaker 3: Don't go all quiet. Fuck you man.
Speaker 1: I got quiet because I was waging up when whether
Speaker 1: or not to use it. I mean, look, it was
Speaker 1: it was ten to twelve, like it was so late
Speaker 1: as well. I stayed up to watch that, and I
Speaker 1: stayed up to watch the State of Origin on Wednesday.
Speaker 1: I was done with rugby league by the end of
Speaker 1: the week.
Speaker 4: I was done.
Speaker 3: God.
Speaker 1: I had to have a nap after arguably being over
Speaker 1: served at the pub on front afternoon.
Speaker 3: But there's by the bike. I just was that the
Speaker 3: pause was.
Speaker 1: I was looking at Cris being like, you probably don't
Speaker 1: like I know, we're on the adult channel. You probably
Speaker 1: don't get too many IF bombs in a season. I
Speaker 1: was like, if I'm ever going to use one, it's
Speaker 1: when our season goes out the window on a commentator's curse. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I'm sorry to the other but I had to
Speaker 1: express how I felt and how I think a lot
Speaker 1: of New Zealanders felt. Yeah, and I think it summed
Speaker 1: it up because we're also looking for someone to put
Speaker 1: it on absolutely.
Speaker 4: And Chris Key is the one. So Chris Key Man.
Speaker 3: Another highlight of.
Speaker 1: The game, it was going around on social media, was
Speaker 1: the you know they do when you play in camera?
Speaker 1: They blow the Viking Yes, which is such a crocod
Speaker 1: shit that last year they had a guy come out
Speaker 1: and he was on his deathbit. He's about ninety eight
Speaker 1: years old and he blew it. I was like, no,
Speaker 1: he's like dying of impisema and he's up there blowing
Speaker 1: a thirty foot horn.
Speaker 3: No he's not. So they've obviously got a button and
Speaker 3: the theater.
Speaker 4: Don't run the theater, you curmudget.
Speaker 1: So we were talking about that in the commentary and
Speaker 1: the build up to it, and we were talking about
Speaker 1: it so much that we got distracted and didn't notice
Speaker 1: that there was a guy ripping a cam cone directly
Speaker 1: behind him, which is old schools to fashion a cancne
Speaker 1: I've always said, give us stone to some weed and
Speaker 1: nothing to smoke it with, and you'll give birth to
Speaker 1: a physician that.
Speaker 3: Would rival Albert Einstein.
Speaker 1: They'll just find an apple or a pineapple or a
Speaker 1: cone or whatever.
Speaker 3: And I thought that was one of the most rugby
Speaker 3: league things of all times.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and he was celebrated throughout the rugby league community
Speaker 4: as well, ended up on RL roast everywhere.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Absolutely, it's it is one of the you know over
Speaker 1: in the States and they're legalizing it and blah blah blah'
Speaker 1: saying it's not a drug that grows in the dirt.
Speaker 1: Nothing makes it look more like doing drugs than smoking
Speaker 1: it out of the can and sparking up the flame
Speaker 1: as well as and he knew he knew exactly when
Speaker 1: he was going to be in frame because they focus
Speaker 1: on the horn and he knew it as soon as
Speaker 1: he can hear his mates kap now now, and he's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: So in the commentary bit that we've posted up on
Speaker 1: social media, you can hear me going, look, it doesn't
Speaker 1: line up with the lungs at all, but I'm talking
Speaker 1: about the guy blowing the horn. But in the background,
Speaker 1: I had no idea. There was a guy ripping a
Speaker 1: can cone as well. I was at the bus stop
Speaker 1: the other day and a guy pulled up at the
Speaker 1: intersection in a ute and just ripped the can cone
Speaker 1: at the red light and then carried on, presumably to work.
Speaker 4: I have seen a van full of painters out side
Speaker 4: a bar in Auckland at the traffic lights, and I
Speaker 4: was sitting outside. It was down kind of by Britamart
Speaker 4: and the guy in the front seat just had a
Speaker 4: huge bong and he ripped the bong and then just
Speaker 4: passed it to the back, and there were three other
Speaker 4: dudes in the back.
Speaker 1: If you're in a paper's van, you might as well
Speaker 1: just take the lids off the paint and roll the
Speaker 1: windows up, probably of the same effect. But shout out
Speaker 1: to the cancn Go anyway, if you want to head
Speaker 1: to a Warrior's game, we've got a VIP experience for
Speaker 1: you to win all thanks to Helenstein's. We want to
Speaker 1: hook you up with an exclusive opportunity to be that
Speaker 1: VIP at the Warriors. You're going to score yourself tickets,
Speaker 1: cash money for food and beverages, plus vouchers to be
Speaker 1: cutted out by the legends at Helenstein's to get in
Speaker 1: the draw text VIP to three two three six. It's
Speaker 1: vip to three two three six be a VIP at
Speaker 1: the Warriors thanks to the ACC and Helenstein's brothers, a
Speaker 1: lot of Helenstein's kick getting around at Warriors home games
Speaker 1: at the moment. Oh yeah, it's definitely not even just
Speaker 1: at Warriors games.
Speaker 4: Everywhere you go, leisure club and what's the what's the.
Speaker 1: How they want leisure club? Sporting leisure something like that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but that absolutely everywhere. It's like when you buy a
Speaker 1: car and all of a sudden you see the car
Speaker 1: overwhere else. I'm now seeing leisure club stuff absolutely everywhere.
Speaker 1: We I took one of the hoodies home and it's
Speaker 1: immediately been stolen by the missus. Yeah, and she is
Speaker 1: just wearing it everywhere. It's too late, it's over. She's
Speaker 1: fleeced it. Just well, it is a Monday, so a
Speaker 1: bit of accountability from across the weekend. The agenda hunch
Speaker 1: you put on Dan Hellier to come top forty Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I got you know what the response was from
Speaker 1: Joe jury Who's that? When I put it on, I
Speaker 1: guess who's that? And like I get a lot of stick.
Speaker 1: I who the fuck is that? I think was a response.
Speaker 1: I get a lot of stick for some of my
Speaker 1: hunches and mainly my midnight gambling early hours in the morning.
Speaker 1: But Dan Hillier, as I mentioned, he won the British
Speaker 1: Open last year over there in a breakout win. So
Speaker 1: I had just had a hunch these conditions which were
Speaker 1: difficultre they were difficult.
Speaker 4: They blew out some pretty good, top ranked players and
Speaker 4: he made.
Speaker 1: A cat because he I think he started at like
Speaker 1: five over yeah, and then he made the cut. Because
Speaker 1: when I saw that, I was like Jesus. But then
Speaker 1: I saw the leader at that time was like Shane
Speaker 1: Lowry was only four under yeah. And I think it
Speaker 1: was a Xander Shoffley one. Yes, I think he was
Speaker 1: only two under yeah. At the unusual conditions.
Speaker 4: It's so so the open to have like torrential rain
Speaker 4: and like a Tiger Woods shank one and made me
Speaker 4: feel so good. I saw him slice went onto the
Speaker 4: railway tracks and I was like.
Speaker 1: Rory mckleroy, I think I was at home, and I
Speaker 1: was like, yes, because that's exactly what I would have done.
Speaker 4: One of us, yeah, one of us.
Speaker 3: Wo.
Speaker 1: I once hit a cow in side of the head
Speaker 1: so hard off of Tea and Wyman. It just snap,
Speaker 1: snap a slice and yeah, bounced. He got hard heads
Speaker 1: though he wouldn't even notice.
Speaker 3: Nah.
Speaker 1: But then I was like looking at the ball, I
Speaker 1: could see it. I was like, I'm not going to
Speaker 1: net paddock. That's thing's gonna kill me. But anyway, Hilly
Speaker 1: already finished nineteenth in the end, Yeah, because we I
Speaker 1: chucked the Hundi on him finishing in the top forty. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was the Rick des bit. Yeah, paying teckt these
Speaker 1: top forty, paying eight bucks too, so and he comfortably
Speaker 1: did it coming nineteenth, and Foxy I think came in
Speaker 1: at twenty five. So not on a bad performance from
Speaker 1: those two.
Speaker 3: Kiwis No, not at all.
Speaker 1: While we're holding ourselves accountable though our other one was
Speaker 1: on the all Blacks game of suf more a Billy
Speaker 1: Procter or Artisavia first price score. I think they all scored, yes,
Speaker 1: but they weren't the first unfortunately. And then the one
Speaker 1: that hurt me the most was Raiders first New Zealand Warriors.
Speaker 1: Our hunch for that was a successful field goal in
Speaker 1: the match. Yeah, I saw one attempted. Yeah, and then
Speaker 1: also we yeah, because we had to snap off a
Speaker 1: two point drop. God, because we missed all those cacks.
Speaker 1: I was like we're talking about in the commentary as well,
Speaker 1: like this is going the way of Golden Point.
Speaker 3: That was a golden point.
Speaker 4: Game, all ends up, but unfortunately no, and then our
Speaker 4: three way hunch car let us down.
Speaker 1: Ah. So I think we actually gave you a bit
Speaker 1: because you weren't here on Friday because last week he
Speaker 1: came in with Mark Talia, so we're like he's been
Speaker 1: replaced for Caler Clark. We'll give you Caler Clark again.
Speaker 1: Came in yep. I went South Africa v. Portugal. The
Speaker 1: line was thirty six and a half. South Africa put
Speaker 1: a cricket score on them, and then car let us
Speaker 1: down with a donkey at rose Hill, which I think
Speaker 1: is still going around this morning, my favorite racing joke.
Speaker 3: And so that one didn't come in either.
Speaker 1: But not overall, not a bad week for the SEC
Speaker 1: and we'll be paying out this Monday, which is always
Speaker 1: a good feeling.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Absolutely.
Speaker 4: I had my I do a hunch on herdecke breakfast
Speaker 4: as well, and I had it all blacks forty plus
Speaker 4: and a Chiefs player to be the first try scorer.
Speaker 4: I was so close.
Speaker 3: Who was the first try scorer?
Speaker 4: It was Cayleer Clark, Yeah, yeah, it was jabb A
Speaker 4: the butt, but second to score I think was cort
Speaker 4: Corti and I was like.
Speaker 1: Yeah, a bit of a blowout. Look, we'll take a
Speaker 1: quick break and we come back. We're going to break
Speaker 1: down that game over there in San Diego or the
Speaker 1: All Blacks went over to snap Dragon Stadium in San
Speaker 1: Diego and absolutely demolished FIGI as I think everyone thought
Speaker 1: they would. Basically, the game went almost exactly how we
Speaker 1: thought it was going to. But I would say that
Speaker 1: the first ten to fifteen minutes were hardly a great
Speaker 1: advertisement for the game. We no a lot of kicking,
Speaker 1: a lot of just kicking backwards and forwards. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: it kind I asked the question, and I bought it
Speaker 1: up this morning with Matt Jerry.
Speaker 4: It's like, why, Yeah, why was it in San Diego?
Speaker 4: Oh why?
Speaker 1: I don't think you're going to lock the answer to this.
Speaker 1: But I heard that they were gonna host it in Hamilton,
Speaker 1: and then San Diego said, look, we've got a bit
Speaker 1: of marketing budget, we'll pay us to come over here.
Speaker 1: And so New Zealand Rugby had the option to play
Speaker 1: in Hamilton or in San Diego. And this might hurt
Speaker 1: your feelings, but they decided to play.
Speaker 3: In San Diego.
Speaker 4: As as Matt Heath pointed out this morning, rugby is
Speaker 4: under attack from so many codes in New Zealand, whether
Speaker 4: it's the NRL, NBA, NFL, in bl in bl you
Speaker 4: know what I mean, like just in general, and to
Speaker 4: take it away from fans and go elsewhere for a
Speaker 4: bit of publicity coin And I don't think that's going
Speaker 4: to change anyone's mind that game. No, Like if it
Speaker 4: was in dinner Our, they would have been awesome.
Speaker 1: If you'd sold there and sold family packages to flights,
Speaker 1: accommodation tickets to all blacks Fiji and dinner ow they'll
Speaker 1: buss you over to Nandy or whatever tooka that would
Speaker 1: have been awesome.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that would have been awesome.
Speaker 1: And you know, Fiji tourism probably was stumped up a
Speaker 1: little bit of cash, probably not as much as San Diego.
Speaker 1: How many people are going to San Diego now as
Speaker 1: a result of that, not me, just a few junkets.
Speaker 1: Bonnie Jensen on a junket. Bonnie Jensen James mcconiy, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it will be about it. Yeah, how much did they
Speaker 1: pay to go over there? Nothing? And who got interviewed
Speaker 1: before the game as well. He's over there, he playing,
Speaker 1: isn't he four or five years he's about seventy three
Speaker 1: years old and he's still playing. But built for and
Speaker 1: they I think they actually played in the semi final
Speaker 1: over the weekend, the San Diego Legion. Don't know how
Speaker 1: they went a bitter podcast to be able to tell you,
Speaker 1: but it was a tri fish that game. It was
Speaker 1: sort of like a bit of a boring first half
Speaker 1: and then the second half was even more boring because
Speaker 1: we started blowing them out.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it was like that's.
Speaker 4: Like I said, it's a W. Though I see that
Speaker 4: to the met and Jerry will take the W. But
Speaker 4: I just found it a strange.
Speaker 1: Hollow W because it was taken over there or because
Speaker 1: of the score. Yeah, it's funny you say that. The
Speaker 1: decision between San Diego and Hamilton reminds me of when
Speaker 1: Stephen Donald once he tells a story that he was
Speaker 1: asked to go over to the south of France in
Speaker 1: the bye week of a Super Rugby season, so he
Speaker 1: was leaving the Chiefs at the end of that season,
Speaker 1: and so his agent said, Hey, there's a team in
Speaker 1: the south of France that want to take you over there,
Speaker 1: show you around, blah blah blah. And he goes, ah,
Speaker 1: I'm hosting a barbecue back in Hamilton this weekend, so
Speaker 1: I can't go. And his agent was just like, I
Speaker 1: really think you should go over and take this opportunity
Speaker 1: to have a look around the south of France.
Speaker 3: He said nat.
Speaker 1: So he stays at home and has his barbecue in Hamilton.
Speaker 1: The next year he's playing for bath Over in the UK. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they go over and play. I forget the name of
Speaker 1: the city. It might have been Nice or something like that,
Speaker 1: somewhere in the south of France. He goes over there,
Speaker 1: they finished the game. He rings his agents straight away.
Speaker 1: He's like, why the fuck didn't you tell me how
Speaker 1: nice it is down here? I could have been playing
Speaker 1: down here the whole time. And he goes, mane, I
Speaker 1: told you it was nice.
Speaker 4: But you stuck around to cook some sizzlers in Hamilton.
Speaker 1: Your loser. And he said he'd make the same decision
Speaker 1: again today if you.
Speaker 4: And another bit of controversy from that game, and look
Speaker 4: I'm a bit of criticism for you know, discussing females
Speaker 4: in sport, and that was the greatest anthem I have
Speaker 4: ever heard.
Speaker 1: It was flawless. I thought it was slightly slow, but flawless.
Speaker 1: Pitchy to start, pitchy to start, she finally settled on
Speaker 1: a key.
Speaker 4: No complaints from me. One of the best anthems I've
Speaker 4: ever seen.
Speaker 3: Brilliant.
Speaker 1: I think we should move on. I don't know if
Speaker 1: you've seen this. Yes, great news, I love it.
Speaker 4: Yep.
Speaker 3: So he has decided that he is well.
Speaker 1: He signed a new contract with New Zealand Rugby which
Speaker 1: will take him through to the next World Cup over
Speaker 1: in Australia. But domestically he is making the switch from
Speaker 1: Wellington to Wina Pacifica.
Speaker 4: I think that's awesome. That is what Moina Pacifica needs.
Speaker 1: Yes, get t Puvai in there, get some of a
Speaker 1: Penny finale and the.
Speaker 3: Enna Frazel's contract after next year.
Speaker 4: Yeah, get it, do it. It's awesome.
Speaker 3: I love it.
Speaker 4: It's good for Moina Pacifica. Yeah, he will come up
Speaker 4: here and live with his brother.
Speaker 1: Well, I mean they did the old Yarnis and it's
Speaker 1: a combo trick where you signed the brother to try
Speaker 1: and get the star.
Speaker 4: Player ola the grooming. Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 1: I think I think a lot of these super rugby
Speaker 1: players want to eventually move to Auckland, particularly when they're sort.
Speaker 3: Of inclined like media inclined like Ardias.
Speaker 1: He's done podcasts and things like that, So I think
Speaker 1: it's a good way of him to move to Auckland
Speaker 1: without playing for the Blues, without having to do a
Speaker 1: Bowden Barrett, you know. So I think it's good too
Speaker 1: because Mina Pacifica haven't really landed on an identity or
Speaker 1: a fan base or anything, you know, and they kicking
Speaker 1: stripped of the best players after every year. Yeah yeah,
Speaker 1: Lebe Moors now down at the Crusaders. So I Nawey
Speaker 1: got pinched by the Highlanders. And I think if you
Speaker 1: were to name one player in super rugby that would
Speaker 1: be able to draw a crowd, it would be Ardie Savia.
Speaker 3: So I think it's great.
Speaker 4: How did you watch the video that he put up
Speaker 4: of the announcement? Did he talk about himself in the
Speaker 4: third person?
Speaker 1: He actually didn't talk in this one. I think he
Speaker 1: said something like Mona, let's go or something like that.
Speaker 1: Because if he didn't said the last time he negotiated
Speaker 1: his own contract, and he congratulated himself on social media
Speaker 1: by interviewing himself. That's an all time I'd love to
Speaker 1: know what he thinks about that. A few years on
Speaker 1: from interviewing himself about his own contract.
Speaker 4: It probably still stands by it to be fair. But
Speaker 4: I'm not going to bring it up with him, but
Speaker 4: maybe you'll find the right time in place.
Speaker 1: I was gonna as him about it when I saw
Speaker 1: him at the airport the other day. I decided against it.
Speaker 1: You know what, I'd rather make the flight.
Speaker 4: Now because that was awkward because we were lining out
Speaker 4: free security and it's like saying hi to someone at
Speaker 4: the supermarket. You keep coming back past them.
Speaker 3: Oh, I know.
Speaker 1: It's the worst you see someone at the thing, because
Speaker 1: then you're like, oh, do you have to catch a flight?
Speaker 3: What do you reckon?
Speaker 4: And then you see them ten seconds later walking back
Speaker 4: the other way, yeah, and you're like.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is a little disappointing.
Speaker 1: I think I mean not to go back over it again,
Speaker 1: but I do think the trade, like the whole trades
Speaker 1: free agency thing and super Rugby, that kind of came
Speaker 1: out of nowhere. No one even really knew that he
Speaker 1: was redoing his contract or whatever. You know.
Speaker 4: But it's weird that the rugby union decide where they
Speaker 4: go as well, and this contracted centrally, you know what
Speaker 4: I mean.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I find weird. It's like he signed with the
Speaker 1: rugby Union and is playing for one. I like the
Speaker 1: rugby Union. These the puppeteers of where players go. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: it's probably that's probably a massive generalization, but that's what
Speaker 1: it looks like. Yeah, but I also think if you
Speaker 1: are the way that it works anywhere now you have
Speaker 1: that central contract, well, then a draft and trade system
Speaker 1: works perfectly because you've already got them, you know, by
Speaker 1: you did to right, So it's like, funk, we'll tell
Speaker 1: you where you're going to go, and you're you're going
Speaker 1: to be traded for this, and blah blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 1: I think and everybody just says I wouldn't work in
Speaker 1: New Zealand. It's like the NBL just did it last year,
Speaker 1: the National Basketball League, the sales pizza fucking NBL playing
Speaker 1: out out of your local WAYAMCA, we can do it.
Speaker 4: That's what we kind of see is strip back everything
Speaker 4: and just have MPC and then just draft them into
Speaker 4: Super Rugby like all NPC or Club Rugby, Super Club
Speaker 4: Rugby Super. Yeah you know what I mean. Like Sulkland
Speaker 4: was Mentionedalkland have four teams. Yeah, Amilton there's two.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Maintain there's two, Crostich has two, Dunedin has one,
Speaker 1: South And has one, Tasman has one. Super It's like
Speaker 1: Super Club. That's the draft system to go into Super Rugby.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Anyway, look, I think it will work, but we've talked
Speaker 1: about it. Ans in the next change. Sports scholarships up
Speaker 1: and running at the moment. This is where binge watching
Speaker 1: sport is a sport and if you want to win that,
Speaker 1: you text Chip two three two three six, follow the
Speaker 1: link and you could be in to have Glan come
Speaker 1: and meet you at a car park somewhere near your
Speaker 1: house to drop it off. We had the first winner.
Speaker 1: He didn't have a car park. No, No, he was
Speaker 1: in an apartment. He's a downtown apartment dweller. So I
Speaker 1: had to meet him in the basement of a car park.
Speaker 1: Like it was like a serious drug deal EXCEP.
Speaker 4: I mean, it was a great deal for him because
Speaker 4: he got a couple of boxes of Snacker Changy's. He
Speaker 4: got a bunch of merch. You got some some delicious
Speaker 4: beverages from Export Ultra And.
Speaker 1: The only risk was that Batman was going to sharp
Speaker 1: and kick both your arses. But he was pretty happy.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you that it's a great price to win.
Speaker 1: So just text Chip to three two three six and
Speaker 1: get involved. Absolutely speaking, you get involved. Let's take one
Speaker 1: more ad break when we come back. It's yours, please,
Speaker 1: yours please, brought you by Leader Home of the Top.
Speaker 3: Just a few of them to get through today.
Speaker 1: But I will say across the weekend we had someone's
Speaker 1: kid get hold of their phone and they just pressed
Speaker 1: the old.
Speaker 3: Button do do Do Do do.
Speaker 1: Then hung up. So just be iought I was going
Speaker 1: to play it that. I was like, you know what,
Speaker 1: I'm not going to bother. You know, we're talking about
Speaker 1: following kids around, filming them at the library.
Speaker 3: Let's just stay clear of it.
Speaker 1: So first, particularly particularly the content of the of the
Speaker 1: calls that we get through, I don't want any kids
Speaker 1: involved in this.
Speaker 3: So first call here yours please.
Speaker 1: Fuck you Cazi, we had that game in the bag
Speaker 1: and Fox South Carebra there you go.
Speaker 4: I agree with that.
Speaker 1: Everyone came through at eleven forty two. At eleven forty six,
Speaker 1: the same number sent in another one basically saying the
Speaker 1: same thing, and again at eleven forty eight. Do you
Speaker 1: think you just forgot that he did it each time?
Speaker 1: Was he just making sure at least one of the
Speaker 1: times he forgot? But I think it was just it
Speaker 1: just hurts so much and in these in these trying times,
Speaker 1: we always look for someone to blame things on.
Speaker 4: And Chris chris Key's our straw man. On this occasion,
Speaker 4: it was Chris.
Speaker 1: After the commentary, he goes just I thought we would
Speaker 1: get way more backlash on the text machine than we
Speaker 1: got and I was just like, I wasn't reading them out,
Speaker 1: but you can have a look, if you can have
Speaker 1: a look at you, if you'd like, I would recommend
Speaker 1: you don't.
Speaker 4: Ye.
Speaker 3: He had a look and it was brutal.
Speaker 1: It was basically every now and then, you know, the
Speaker 1: a sec hive mind, we'll just kicking and we'll get
Speaker 1: the same text a million.
Speaker 4: Times in a row with fuck you Chris Key, with
Speaker 4: some sort.
Speaker 1: Of variation of fuck you Kesey the whole way down again.
Speaker 1: I don't think it was Sanel Harris Deaveta's fault, to
Speaker 1: be honest, probably not Chris's fault either, but if you're
Speaker 1: looking for people to blame it on, ye, Unfortunately Casey
Speaker 1: threw himself in front of that bus.
Speaker 3: Another caller here, yours.
Speaker 1: Please, they've always se from there.
Speaker 4: I laid again, it's what the scot on that, because
Speaker 4: we know about someth you know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Jesus, that's the lights off.
Speaker 1: It's lights off, and he's having a spar The family's inside,
Speaker 1: or the missus is inside, the sparkles out in the
Speaker 1: deck there. He hasn't even got the bubbles on because
Speaker 1: it's too loud. Yeah, so you can just hear it
Speaker 1: gurgling in the background, just the kind of him just
Speaker 1: sloshing around in.
Speaker 3: There, wallowing around in genital soup.
Speaker 4: There's a reason why the podcast are late every now
Speaker 4: and then, because we obviously waiting for an announcement of
Speaker 4: some description or we're interviewing someone. So every now and
Speaker 4: then it's a couple of hours late.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So last week there was we had an interview, and
Speaker 1: then there was the All Blacks team and the cricket
Speaker 1: and the cricket so yeah, look that's going to be
Speaker 1: a little late every now and then. But when we
Speaker 1: do that, it's because we want to make sure we
Speaker 1: put the best product out. We can't and some would
Speaker 1: say that the earlier they are, the shipter they are.
Speaker 1: But anyway, apologies and thank you very much for bringing
Speaker 1: that to our attention.
Speaker 4: Another call here yours please.
Speaker 3: Before this fucking soccer shed of late.
Speaker 1: A few of the boys want to know, would a
Speaker 1: round ball do any different to rugby.
Speaker 4: Let's get rid of the shape, put a round one
Speaker 4: in there and played by the same rules. Some of
Speaker 4: the boys reckons it will be a whole new game.
Speaker 4: I reckon I do.
Speaker 3: Fuck all, what do you think, right?
Speaker 4: So this is just rugby. Just have a round ball
Speaker 4: SoC soccer ball to play with. Okay?
Speaker 1: Think you can punt a round ball a long way
Speaker 1: like those drop cacks that those goalies do go about
Speaker 1: eighty meters?
Speaker 3: Yeah, they do. I think.
Speaker 1: First off, the bat passing would be a nightmare passing
Speaker 1: a round ball. You couldn't pass as far, I don't think.
Speaker 3: Also, yeah, the.
Speaker 1: Other part is you're holding quite a large ball now
Speaker 1: as you're running and to get tackled there You know,
Speaker 1: when two dudes hold those big Swiss balls and at
Speaker 1: each other.
Speaker 4: That's my favorite thing on YouTube to watch. So I
Speaker 4: like it when three people do it because one person
Speaker 4: takes all of the kinetic energy out of Yeah, and
Speaker 4: now that and doesn't that. No one knows which one and.
Speaker 1: It's like double bounce and your cousin on the trampolines
Speaker 1: should see it. So I think there'd be a bit
Speaker 1: of that action. Yeah, the kicking would be a little weird.
Speaker 1: I don't know about like, I think kicking will be fine. Well,
Speaker 1: the thing is like a grubber. The advantage of it
Speaker 1: being an oval ball is that it's going to pop
Speaker 1: up for you to catch.
Speaker 3: But now a grubb is just going to roll across
Speaker 3: the carpet.
Speaker 1: And you know exactly with the bounce of the ball
Speaker 1: as well. Yeah, with a chip kick, yeah, chip kick's
Speaker 1: just going to pop up perfectly for you. You know
Speaker 1: exactly where it's going. I think conversions would be easier.
Speaker 1: Would you take them off a tee or is it
Speaker 1: off the ground?
Speaker 3: Oh that's a good question.
Speaker 1: I think you would probably still go off the t
Speaker 1: wouldn't you, because you're trying to kick it up.
Speaker 4: I think the passing will look awkward. It look like
Speaker 4: it kind of a cross between netball.
Speaker 1: And Yeah, the passing will look ridiculous. I think that
Speaker 1: the game would be worse for having it, but I
Speaker 1: do think that it would be.
Speaker 3: Can you kick it as far as a rugby ball?
Speaker 4: Some of those goalies kick it a hell of a
Speaker 4: long way.
Speaker 1: I was watching it when I was watching the Europe's
Speaker 1: I was like, man, that guy timed that and from
Speaker 1: the outside of the box and it went pretty much
Speaker 1: to the other end of the field.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Look, I think obviously it to make the game worse,
Speaker 1: otherwise we would have done it one hundred years ago. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but it would be interesting to watch, surely, surely like
Speaker 1: a social club to play a quarter of rugby with
Speaker 1: a sob a soccer ball, just to see what would happen.
Speaker 1: I think it would change the completion of goalkicking. I
Speaker 1: don't know in which direction. I think they'd be more
Speaker 1: accurate than lest accurate. Yeah, probably would have helped us
Speaker 1: on the weekend the worries.
Speaker 4: I think you could kick it from a sixty meters
Speaker 4: I reckon.
Speaker 1: Yeah, probably just on that by the way, And I
Speaker 1: know I've said this before on the podcast, but it's
Speaker 1: just come back into my brain. I think I think
Speaker 1: goal kicking shouldn't be part of rugby or rugby league.
Speaker 1: I think it's not when you take a helicopter year,
Speaker 1: it's an odd thing. If it didn't exist, we wouldn't
Speaker 1: invent it if we invented If rugby league didn't exist
Speaker 1: and we invented it tomorrow, it would not be part
Speaker 1: of it. Because if you're at the meeting and you're like, right,
Speaker 1: we've got the game. You run, you get tackled, if
Speaker 1: you put the ball over the line, then you score points.
Speaker 1: And if someone at the corner of the meeting, we're like,
Speaker 1: what if after you put the ball down you then
Speaker 1: played a different game where you had to kick it
Speaker 1: through some posts. You get the fuck out of the
Speaker 1: meeting and make no sense at all. So I think
Speaker 1: we should do well with it. It's the equivalent of
Speaker 1: in the NBA, if you shot a three pointer it
Speaker 1: you got three points, and then they had a net
Speaker 1: underneath the hoop and you were able to kick the
Speaker 1: ball into the net for another two points. But why
Speaker 1: it doesn't add anything to the game.
Speaker 4: Would you?
Speaker 1: Are you saying get rid of conversions all kicking, So
Speaker 1: no penalty kicks, kicking, no penalty kick. No droppies, no dropies,
Speaker 1: just tries, Yeah, just tries. Try fest golden point is
Speaker 1: just golden try. You just keep going til someone scores
Speaker 1: a try. I'm down with that because I think the
Speaker 1: only thing it does is it rewards players for scoring
Speaker 1: in the middle of the field as opposed to the sides.
Speaker 1: That's basically the only advantage for goal kicking. And as
Speaker 1: we saw on the weekend, Fuck, it breaks your heart
Speaker 1: when you lose a game from goalkicking.
Speaker 3: It's like, we.
Speaker 1: Played well, yeah, we played better than they did, I
Speaker 1: would say, yeah.
Speaker 4: And when you're scoring more tries in your opposition you lose,
Speaker 4: and then you still lose.
Speaker 1: It's like why because there's other bullshit part of the game. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know, does my head and I think we
Speaker 1: should do a worth it. They never will, but certainly
Speaker 1: could have saved us on the weekend.
Speaker 3: All right, I think that'll do us for today.
Speaker 1: For a Monday episode of the Agenda, we are heading
Speaker 1: out to Mount Smart Stadium myself and Die Henward to
Speaker 1: interview a few of the Warriors for the Mad Monday podcast,
Speaker 1: So make sure you keep an eye out for that one.
Speaker 1: And apologies to anyone sitting in their spa bath this afternoon,
Speaker 1: that one will be a little later than usual, Jesus Christ,
Speaker 1: so bear with us there, but yeah, enjoy that and
Speaker 1: otherwise we'll see you tomorrow for a Tuesday episode of
Speaker 1: the A Gender Podcast.
