Speaker 1: Life in the Export Beer Garden studio and brought to
Speaker 1: you is always by Export Ultra that beer for here.
Speaker 1: This is the Agenda Podcast for Monday, the ninth of September.
Speaker 2: The Agenda Podcast, the home of Sporting Nonsense and clap Trap,
Speaker 2: brought to you by Export Ultra.
Speaker 3: Good morning, Julane, how are you morning?
Speaker 1: Good story.
Speaker 3: Great weekend, wasn't it? Yeah?
Speaker 1: What's well for us? Yeah? No commentaries. We're entering into
Speaker 1: this sort of weird period for the ACC where we
Speaker 1: don't have like commentaries week in weekend. Last year it
Speaker 1: was only November that didn't have commentaries. But this year
Speaker 1: the Warriors didn't make the playoffs.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: We've got two Bladerslow games coming up though, yes, this month,
Speaker 4: so we are covering the bledders Low.
Speaker 3: We didn't come with the Sampkin series. I'm just purely
Speaker 3: out of the fact that it's too early in the morning.
Speaker 1: Ridiculous o'clock. And we will get to the South African game,
Speaker 1: whether we hit the panic button or not, very shortly
Speaker 1: before we do, though, I just want to address some
Speaker 1: of the crimes that are happening in the gates over there.
Speaker 1: I want to use the bathrooms that are next to
Speaker 1: Radio Hidarchy, and they are as bad as you would
Speaker 1: expect the bathrooms next to Hidarky to be, because it's
Speaker 1: technically I don't know if I want to broadcast this public.
Speaker 1: It's a public toilet, and so you will get bus drivers,
Speaker 1: office workers, a lot of careers, careers. And so I
Speaker 1: went in and the bases were loaded. There were there
Speaker 1: are four stalls, and three out of the four were
Speaker 1: just just cranking, and the fourth one, at the fourth one,
Speaker 1: the water level had reached the rim of the toilet.
Speaker 1: The disabled one, sorry, this is gate one. I was counting,
Speaker 1: counting backwards now the disabled one had been disabled. The
Speaker 1: other two there were two dudes just getting into their work.
Speaker 1: And I only just found out that there's guys we
Speaker 1: live in it. We live, we work in a four
Speaker 1: story building. You guys come down from up in the
Speaker 1: fourth and third and second floors to take lumps in
Speaker 1: the ground floor.
Speaker 4: Well, there's some other stuff that goes on in those
Speaker 4: toilets as well, which we which we know about. There
Speaker 4: is because it's a known kind of cottaging, yes, situation,
Speaker 4: hookup situation, the disabled.
Speaker 3: Toilets in there.
Speaker 4: I mean, obviously we live in a triangle between Les
Speaker 4: Mills is Spark, two Degrees, Lion Nathan, a couple of
Speaker 4: agencies and of course en Zed Me White Company, and
Speaker 4: quite a few lawyers.
Speaker 1: TV and Z, although a lot less people worked there
Speaker 1: than did a year ago.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and there I have hit it from a good source,
Speaker 4: i e. Someone who's in the scene that there is
Speaker 4: a place.
Speaker 3: For dudes to hook up. Yes.
Speaker 1: Now, I actually remember the first time I became aware
Speaker 1: of this where I thought I saw someone getting changed
Speaker 1: for the gym after work and I realized there was
Speaker 1: about six thirty on a Friday night and I saw
Speaker 1: two different pairs of shoes in there. I was like,
Speaker 1: guys getting changed with the gym. Then one of the
Speaker 1: in our office was like he checked his app and
Speaker 1: he could see that there were two dudes that he
Speaker 1: knew they were like right there and the toilet cubicle there.
Speaker 1: So I was, oh, ship, Yeah, I was going to say,
Speaker 1: if you're going to if you're going to find a
Speaker 1: spot to do that, there's no worse spot than that
Speaker 1: set of toilets out there.
Speaker 4: The only issue is the kind of you know, obviously
Speaker 4: there's some romance going on and the disabled toilets. I
Speaker 4: had to light the flame when someone's emptying there. Yeah,
Speaker 4: insides and right next to you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I.
Speaker 3: Don't know.
Speaker 1: There was a urinal in there by the way, we
Speaker 1: will talking about sports at some point in this podcast.
Speaker 1: There was a urinal in there that was clogged for
Speaker 1: over a year with just this golden layer of wheeze
Speaker 1: sitting on top of it.
Speaker 3: Okay, well that's just some good admin.
Speaker 1: Yeah. If this is your first time listening to the podcast, Welcome, Welcome.
Speaker 1: I'd like to say that we don't always talk about
Speaker 1: toilets and person weez, but I'd be lying. Sometimes we
Speaker 1: do talk about the Greatest New Zealander of all time.
Speaker 1: And over the weekend, we let you. We let it cook,
Speaker 1: we let it simmer like a clogged urinal, we let
Speaker 1: it sit there all weekend, and you had your say,
Speaker 1: over three thousand votes across social media for the Greatest
Speaker 1: New Zealander of all Time. Before we get into that,
Speaker 1: I want to take a quick look back at some
Speaker 1: of the matchups that we had, some of the awards,
Speaker 1: some of the things that happened. We had tens of
Speaker 1: thousands of votes across the course of this campaign, and
Speaker 1: you know, like we said at the start. It was
Speaker 1: the most a sec thing of all time. The Olympics
Speaker 1: were going on, we didn't need the content, but anyway,
Speaker 1: we decided to stick a branch through our front spokes
Speaker 1: and crash our own bike. Anyway, some of my favorite matchups,
Speaker 1: some awards I'd like to give out the what even
Speaker 1: is this Award for the weirdest matchup that we had
Speaker 1: across the whole thing, and it was Richie versus Harold.
Speaker 1: It was one of the more bizarre awards that you
Speaker 1: will ever see.
Speaker 4: Harold the Giraffe, Harald the Giraffe, and the Life is
Speaker 4: the Life Trust Life Trusts.
Speaker 1: Yeah, very difficult to compare very apples and those two.
Speaker 1: But it wasn't the biggest hiding, and Richie actually wasn't
Speaker 1: even involved in the biggest hiding. So the Jack the
Speaker 1: Muss Award for the biggest hiding dished out during the
Speaker 1: Greatest New Zealander of all Time debate was Dave Dobbin
Speaker 1: ninety one to nine on John Tugert, WHOA. I did
Speaker 1: not see that coming. And I saw John Tugot the
Speaker 1: day after the result, the result, and he talked to me,
Speaker 1: but he didn't it didn't talk for too long, and yeah,
Speaker 1: you think the long hair has lost it for I
Speaker 1: think if he shaved his head, do you think he
Speaker 1: might have?
Speaker 3: I think just sure back in sights it was his
Speaker 3: best look.
Speaker 1: Yeah right, so yeah that was the Jake, the Muss
Speaker 1: Award for the biggest hiding Dave Dobbin. There should have been
Speaker 1: the final award for the closest margin and an every
Speaker 1: matchup that we put out there, people said, this should
Speaker 1: have been the final, This should have been the final,
Speaker 1: This should have been the final. Was Richie v d
Speaker 1: fifty four percent in favor of Sir Edmund Hillary. Richie
Speaker 1: mccaugh I thought was going to take this whole thing out,
Speaker 1: but in the end he didn't. So the Grand Final
Speaker 1: that was baking across the weekend, Sir Edmund Hillary versus
Speaker 1: Sir Charles Upham over three thousand votes, well over three
Speaker 1: thousand votes across social media.
Speaker 3: Is Charlie Upham? Is he knighted?
Speaker 1: Is he no? I'm going to note him on this podcast.
Speaker 3: Okay, good?
Speaker 1: If he's not, he should be over three thousand votes
Speaker 1: across social media for you all win it. Sixty two
Speaker 1: to thirty eight. The greatest New Zealander of all time.
Speaker 3: Telly, Ah, here we go, I got it.
Speaker 1: Congratulate Hillary.
Speaker 4: I knew I knocked it early. I knew he was
Speaker 4: a people's champion. So what I was saying, I think
Speaker 4: Charles Upham, God bless him. You know what was the
Speaker 4: Victoria Cross with the bar biffing grenades at German's art.
Speaker 3: Read the book. He's an absolute hero.
Speaker 1: I think, the only man to win two Victoria Crosses
Speaker 1: in battle. I think. I think there's been a couple
Speaker 1: of mitics and things that.
Speaker 3: Have done too.
Speaker 4: But I think potentially I think people could relate a
Speaker 4: bit more to the beekeeper. Yeah, Sir Edmond Hillary good
Speaker 4: news though, also as we don't have to now put
Speaker 4: together a campaign to rebrand the twenty dollar note.
Speaker 3: That's because he's already on the five.
Speaker 1: It's already on the five. Some say that he should
Speaker 1: also be on the twenty as well.
Speaker 3: Come on the twenty. Maybe we should release a twenty
Speaker 3: five dollar note with his face on.
Speaker 1: It, just a limited edition see twenty five dollar counterfeit banknote.
Speaker 3: It's actually did you know?
Speaker 4: It is actually illegal to photocopy or print off any
Speaker 4: picture of a note or anything. Oh really like, even
Speaker 4: if it's just a total fake, Like and you've got
Speaker 4: your face on it and it's on a twenty dollar note.
Speaker 1: That's illegal.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you can get done for it.
Speaker 1: I remember people saying back in the day that it
Speaker 1: was illegal to like cut the queen's head in half
Speaker 1: if you cut a banknote in half. I don't know
Speaker 1: if that's true or not.
Speaker 3: I think you can't.
Speaker 4: I think you can't willfully damage currency or something like that.
Speaker 1: You're technically don't know it. I would say though, that
Speaker 1: in Sir Edmund Hillary's favorite is that his marketing was
Speaker 1: so much bigger than Sir Charles Upham, and I am
Speaker 1: noting him because you see it all the time on
Speaker 1: the five dollar note. Yeah, we talk about him all
Speaker 1: the time, you know. I don't think Charlie opams exploits
Speaker 1: are taught in schools, no where theds are.
Speaker 4: I don't think they could, to be honest, they could
Speaker 4: talk about his Victoria cross, but I can't actually talk
Speaker 4: about how he got them. Yeah, what did he doped them?
Speaker 4: Just doing some wild shit? Yeah, yeah, wild stuff.
Speaker 1: I saw a couple of comments on social media saying
Speaker 1: that there was a character based on him in Saving
Speaker 1: Private Ryan. I don't recall that but I'd need to
Speaker 1: look into it.
Speaker 3: And people took your advice. Over the weekend.
Speaker 4: I had a little glance at the comments and you said,
Speaker 4: you know, get on there, they're both passed. You can't
Speaker 4: be done for deformation. Get stuck into the opposition. And
Speaker 4: there was some real pointed shit going on in there,
Speaker 4: you know, start talking about stuff like, you know, Chiles
Speaker 4: up and didn't get a shuper to carry his grenades,
Speaker 4: blah blah blah, carry on.
Speaker 3: I was like, yeah, this is good, this is good.
Speaker 4: But it didn't work because because Siri, he is the
Speaker 4: greatest New Zealander as voted by you, he is one
Speaker 4: of the greats, or he is the greatest.
Speaker 1: You're right there, they were saying. There was someone saying,
Speaker 1: you know, there's been a lot of people who have
Speaker 1: climbed Everest since then, and you know, if you're a
Speaker 1: rich tourist, you can actually pay someone to go up there.
Speaker 1: You and I could probably do it.
Speaker 4: But it goes beyond that though, because he he gave
Speaker 4: a lot back to the to the Nepolice. He's always
Speaker 4: schools named after It's right.
Speaker 1: And you and I could do that too. But you
Speaker 1: and I could not jump into a pearl box and
Speaker 1: r and he saw the bunch of kill a bunch
Speaker 1: of gyms.
Speaker 4: Well, look, I mean, who knows if we're going. If
Speaker 4: we were thrown into those circumstances, we'll never know. Really,
Speaker 4: we're the lucky generation where we were just a fat
Speaker 4: ass and watch sport.
Speaker 1: Yeah, tell people that we would have been able to
Speaker 1: do it if we.
Speaker 3: Put in got a bad arm. I reckon I could
Speaker 3: biff a few.
Speaker 4: Whether I would swim myself and be shaking in fear
Speaker 4: on the ground before I do that, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I think I would. I think I would. I think
Speaker 1: I know myself well enough to know that I'd completely
Speaker 1: freeze up. I remember one day I went up onto
Speaker 1: the roof of my father's house to fix the air
Speaker 1: con unit that was up there, and he needed the
Speaker 1: ladder for something else. He took the latter away. It
Speaker 1: was like, can you bring the leadder back? I can't
Speaker 1: get off the thing, and he goes, just jump. It's
Speaker 1: way too high. So he left me up on the
Speaker 1: roof and the Kolgouley baking son about a forty two
Speaker 1: degree day, and he came back out about an hour later.
Speaker 1: I was still on the roof, and he was just like,
Speaker 1: the fuck you do it? It's too hard to jump.
Speaker 1: He said, you wouldn't have lasted a day in the army.
Speaker 3: Why didn't he just put the ladder back up?
Speaker 1: Because he wanted to teach me to listen that I
Speaker 1: wouldn't lasted a day in the army. So long short
Speaker 1: of all of that is, I know how I would react,
Speaker 1: and I would not be able to throw those grenades
Speaker 1: into those pill boxes. So for me, it's still Charles up.
Speaker 1: But it's not up to me. It was up to
Speaker 1: you at home, and you decided that it is, Sir Edmund.
Speaker 1: So that's the end of the greatest New Zealander of
Speaker 1: all time? And next I reckon we do John O
Speaker 1: v Ben, Matt v Jerry.
Speaker 3: Or do we do the shit this New Zealander of
Speaker 3: all that would be so grim?
Speaker 1: I think we doctor up a graphic and put it
Speaker 1: up on social But yeah.
Speaker 3: Because there are some pretty grim New Zealanders, some.
Speaker 1: Pretty shit New Zealanders, it would be the shittest New
Speaker 1: Zealander of all time.
Speaker 3: There's some pretty good ones.
Speaker 1: I don't want to slander anyone. All right, let's take
Speaker 1: a quick break and let's come back and digest that
Speaker 1: all black scape, All right, lane?
Speaker 3: Do we have to?
Speaker 1: I think we have to. I think we have to.
Speaker 1: How do you feel about it? After having watched both
Speaker 1: of those games? Do we hit the panic button? Is
Speaker 1: it time for New Zealand to just freak the fuck out?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 4: Because that's our best team, that's our best team, this
Speaker 4: is our best coach. We're just not good enough. And
Speaker 4: I think rugby fans in New Zealand who typically are
Speaker 4: pissed off if we don't win, and pissed off if
Speaker 4: we don't win by heaps, and if we win by heaps.
Speaker 3: That's a dead rubber and what would we bother?
Speaker 4: So I think we need to learn to be better
Speaker 4: fans and understand the fact that we are rebuilding. We're
Speaker 4: not the best team in the world. We're underdogs and
Speaker 4: that's when we need to get in behind them the most.
Speaker 4: And so fuck well, you know we're building to the
Speaker 4: World Cup. There's no team in the world where their
Speaker 4: fans expect them to be the world's.
Speaker 3: Best week and week out, every single time, every single time.
Speaker 3: It's just us.
Speaker 4: Like you look at any ANYFL team or NBA team,
Speaker 4: or any football team. You know they there's none expect
Speaker 4: expectations that they should be the best in the world
Speaker 4: every year. Yeah, they expect them to be good. But
Speaker 4: if they lose, the panic they just get them behind them.
Speaker 3: I think it's good.
Speaker 4: I think it's healthy for us to be going through
Speaker 4: a rebuild stage. People will start, you know, wanting, wanting
Speaker 4: McKinsey's head on a spike because he missed two kicks.
Speaker 4: Someone raises his head on a spike. They get over it, man,
Speaker 4: Like you mentioned in the office, this is if we
Speaker 4: want to lose a few, what are you to do it?
Speaker 3: We've got another three years to the World Cup. Oh yeah,
Speaker 3: this is the best time to have this, as I
Speaker 3: just thought.
Speaker 1: I just think it's funny that we absolutely shiit the
Speaker 1: bid whenever we lose, and we're just like we need
Speaker 1: We shouldn't have sacked Fozzy blah blah blah. This should change,
Speaker 1: that should change. We need to seck this dude. We
Speaker 1: didn't lose by much.
Speaker 4: They're a bit of team, not like Australia. Jesus touch
Speaker 4: on that one hock you now. But I think it's
Speaker 4: healthy for us. I think it sucks we lost, obviously
Speaker 4: because I was I was backing us to actually bounce back.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so was I I went on several radio stations
Speaker 1: and said that.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 4: And I also he put him my money on as well.
Speaker 4: Him not scoring a try also cost me a lot
Speaker 4: of money. I had terrible week in on the punt,
Speaker 4: terrible week in. I'm not panicking. I think Yeah, like
Speaker 4: I said, I think it's healthy. I hope that the
Speaker 4: players don't, especially those young players. It doesn't affect him,
Speaker 4: the Cortes and the side.
Speaker 3: Teddies of the world. Yeah, Teddy had a great game.
Speaker 1: Side Teddy had a tremendous game.
Speaker 3: Great game and a lot of people.
Speaker 1: I even saw more articles this morning saying had a
Speaker 1: great game at six and like I was trying to
Speaker 1: explain on Friday, I don't know if it did a
Speaker 1: great job of it. We had three blindside flankers out there.
Speaker 1: Scott Barrett has played six for the All Blacks. He's
Speaker 1: the same. Yeah, it wasn't like it was all on
Speaker 1: him and he needed to do you know, blah blah blah.
Speaker 4: I prefer him at eight, but know him at eight
Speaker 4: as well. I prefer him when he's got the ball
Speaker 4: on hand, off the back of the scrum and stuff.
Speaker 3: Like that.
Speaker 1: He's devastating in that first game. You know, he was outstanding,
Speaker 1: great ball runner. He I think, yeah, he's probably eight.
Speaker 1: I think our loose Ford trio should be him at eight,
Speaker 1: Audiot seven six, I don't know, and then probably Sam
Speaker 1: Kane to be fair to him, unless eat them black
Speaker 1: at his back and fit again. I do think that
Speaker 1: the spring Box are just the best team in the world,
Speaker 1: and not just the best, like they grind out wins,
Speaker 1: but they're also the most entertaining. They're the coolest team
Speaker 1: in the world because obviously they've got the bomb squad
Speaker 1: where they bring in an entirely like a world class
Speaker 1: forward pack to replace a world class forward pack. They've
Speaker 1: got sick players across the park. That ox and cheer
Speaker 1: guy looks like you had a PlayStation game and you
Speaker 1: were like, what if I squashed him down, made them
Speaker 1: wide and then that was my front rower.
Speaker 4: As it just I mean in that first game we
Speaker 4: had a heavier pack than them, Yes, but they somehow
Speaker 4: look enormous.
Speaker 1: Yeah it's Bongey and Banambi, he.
Speaker 3: Looks they look all of them look enormous.
Speaker 4: Just for vis is that the black that slums us
Speaker 4: and makes us look at it small because we're not
Speaker 4: we're not shrinking going violets either.
Speaker 1: You know what it is, it's to mighty Williams is
Speaker 1: skewing the stats. Ok.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so he's.
Speaker 1: Heavier than their front robot himself. And then there's there's
Speaker 1: the rest of us cheerslin Cobby is sick every game.
Speaker 1: I reckon, he's probably the best player in the world
Speaker 1: at the moment. He has been for a while, but
Speaker 1: he's been sort of in and out of the team.
Speaker 1: I just throwing into the line out so that they
Speaker 1: can have eight dudes in the line out, Like, that's sick.
Speaker 1: That kind of stuff, that's crazy, that's craziness. Say that is,
Speaker 1: and then we have to do stuff like bring some
Speaker 1: of our better players off the bench to try and
Speaker 1: match that.
Speaker 3: You know what I mean that I mentioned that last week.
Speaker 4: I thought it's an odd decision to put your hands
Speaker 4: up and say.
Speaker 1: We're going to do what they're doing, yeah, to beat them.
Speaker 3: So do you think Razzie's out crazying ow craziest.
Speaker 1: One hundred percent? Yes, absolutely. Did you see the postmatch
Speaker 1: press conference and he's talking about how he had to
Speaker 1: go out of the coach's box to try and find
Speaker 1: the nearest bathroom, but the nearest bathroom was miles away.
Speaker 1: He had to walk through the stands to get to
Speaker 1: the nearest men's bathroom, but there was a woman's bathroom
Speaker 1: right next to the coach's box, so he had to
Speaker 1: walk in there and look, I'm really sorry, but I
Speaker 1: have to go to the toilet. And this girl said, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's fine. She was washing her hand. She went and
Speaker 1: stood in the corner of the room and looked the way. Well,
Speaker 1: he went to the toilet, which also like, do they
Speaker 1: have doors?
Speaker 3: How was that brought up in the press conference.
Speaker 1: I don't know. You have a look at it. No
Speaker 1: one asked, No one asked. He's like, this probably isn't
Speaker 1: the platform for his story. But and then he told
Speaker 1: this story circle is He's sitting next to him, like,
Speaker 1: what the fuck what are you talking about? Go and
Speaker 1: have a look at it on social media. It is hilarious.
Speaker 1: That's wild, And yes, you're right, he's nuts. He's insane
Speaker 1: and all of the things that we thought we liked
Speaker 1: about Razor was like, oh, he's crazy this and that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he is as a person, but the way he coaches
Speaker 1: rugby isn't really like that. Yeah, Razzie is just all
Speaker 1: the way gone, you know, like he's up in the
Speaker 1: fucking box with flashing lights and cards and three hour
Speaker 1: rents on YouTube and you know, so he is. He's
Speaker 1: out crazying us on and off the field. They're trying
Speaker 1: shit as well, you know, like they were trying to
Speaker 1: score out of their own twenty two. Like I said,
Speaker 1: the throw cheers and Koby throwing into the lineout. I
Speaker 1: love that kind of shirt.
Speaker 3: So yeah, you allowed as many people in the line
Speaker 3: out as you want?
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, like I keep saying, well, I don't know.
Speaker 1: Certainly in age grade South Canterbury Rugby, you were we
Speaker 1: used to have a thirteen men line out that would try.
Speaker 3: Does that mean that the other team has to match
Speaker 3: it as well? Yes, mesch number.
Speaker 1: Or isn't it like they're allowed up to that amount
Speaker 1: of players? But I mean, fuck, if you're facing a
Speaker 1: thirteen men line out and you only got six dudes
Speaker 1: in there, like, yeah, you're pretty fuck Also, it worked,
Speaker 1: It worked every time they've tried that. It's paid off.
Speaker 1: I don't think that there's any selection issues, you know,
Speaker 1: I don't know who.
Speaker 4: I can't think of anyone who's done by. I mean, yeah,
Speaker 4: you've got Sotutu potentially, but I think the loose FORWD.
Speaker 3: Trios had fired pretty well.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but I mean they'll be looking forward to Australia.
Speaker 3: We've got Australia away.
Speaker 4: In Sydney at a nine thirty night or whatever, and
Speaker 4: then they're back again in Wellington. They'll be looking forward
Speaker 4: to that because that result over the weekend and I
Speaker 4: just read about it.
Speaker 3: I didn't see it was Australia.
Speaker 4: And Argentina winning at halftime twenty points to six or
Speaker 4: something like this and then losing sixty odd to twenty five. Yeah,
Speaker 4: they put sixty points on them in the second half. Yeah,
Speaker 4: four tries in the last ten minutes.
Speaker 1: And you wouldn't say that like Argentina are famed for
Speaker 1: putting on big scores either.
Speaker 4: No, And I think I've mentioned it this morning on
Speaker 4: Hideckey Breakfast.
Speaker 3: The only thing we.
Speaker 4: Could justify it is Jimi Wells said they must have
Speaker 4: just got on the fucking man as a halftime and
Speaker 4: just forgot where they were or what they were doing.
Speaker 4: Because there is for a kind of world class team
Speaker 4: to ship the bed like that in the second half, and.
Speaker 1: It's Australia or a tear two nation now will need to
Speaker 1: we all need to just accept it. Yes, it reminds me,
Speaker 1: he said, going out into the sheds at halftime getting
Speaker 1: on the fucking miners. When I was at the freezing
Speaker 1: works one day, there was a guy at the end
Speaker 1: of the like convey about that we're all working on
Speaker 1: about six dudes, and his job was just to package
Speaker 1: up the lamb leagues at the end. And I looked
Speaker 1: down there after about fifteen minutes and he's just buried
Speaker 1: under a mountain of lamb leaks. Are you all right?
Speaker 1: And I went down and I was like, I'll give
Speaker 1: you a hand, and he goes yeah. To be completely
Speaker 1: honest with you, mate, I went and had a herd
Speaker 1: her in the car park at lunchtime and I'm pretty
Speaker 1: slow this afternoon. That's what must have happened to the Australians.
Speaker 3: I as a hell of a halftime. Yeah, I mean
Speaker 3: did they everyone's swap positions?
Speaker 1: What did Conzerpomi say to his team at halftime?
Speaker 3: Yeah, well get on Argentina. They took that out.
Speaker 4: But he's only be looking forward to But there's one
Speaker 4: of these games where they'll be looking forward to a
Speaker 4: bit of rest. Yeah, and Ossie will come out swinging
Speaker 4: and we will like win by just one point and
Speaker 4: then everyone will climb on again.
Speaker 1: I still think we're gonna obliterate them, Like I keep saying,
Speaker 1: I feel like Damien McKenzie is the minnow shredder. Like
Speaker 1: if we're playing against a minnow team, a guy like
Speaker 1: Damian McKenzie just tears those teams to bits. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: think he's gonna have a monster outing and we're gonna thresh.
Speaker 1: But unfortunately that's the that's the Rugby Championship done for us,
Speaker 1: unless Argentina dust South Africa twice, which I just can't
Speaker 1: see happening. And then they also got the Freedom cut,
Speaker 1: which I forgot even existed. The South African's got that
Speaker 1: back up to fifteen years.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's disappointing.
Speaker 1: You guys probably need it more than us.
Speaker 3: You take it.
Speaker 1: And another rugby news across the weekend, the Tasman Marco
Speaker 1: won the ran Philly Shield. They went up there, they
Speaker 1: won the challenge. Did you see the photo of the
Speaker 1: coke on the ran Philly Shield this morning?
Speaker 3: I did.
Speaker 4: It was great work from the markl The can of
Speaker 4: coke just sitting on the top of it saying yeah, no,
Speaker 4: it was good. I actually watched that game, sat down
Speaker 4: for my first proper bit of NPC action. They dominated
Speaker 4: Hawks Bay. They're a good team testman. Geez, they got
Speaker 4: good players. Yeah, they got William Villy first five and
Speaker 4: the Christie are half back. Yeah, very good team and
Speaker 4: they just didn't give Hawks Bay anything. They led from
Speaker 4: the start, they out muscled them.
Speaker 1: Came right down to it though, didn't it. Oh it
Speaker 1: was a kick to win.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they at halftime when I was I gave up
Speaker 4: about after about fifty minutes I saw my bet came in.
Speaker 4: I was like, yes, I left it, but good to
Speaker 4: see it go to the South Island.
Speaker 1: Yes, this is selfishly great for South Canterbury because they
Speaker 1: have been famously couldn't get up to Hawk's Bay to
Speaker 1: challenge for the Shield. The couldn't afford it. It's much
Speaker 1: easier to get up to Nelson.
Speaker 3: But but straight away they got a challenge this weekend.
Speaker 4: Who have they got I'm not sure question With that warning,
Speaker 4: I think someone did the stats and they said that
Speaker 4: every single team this season could win the Ramfley Shield
Speaker 4: except Southland. So if there's a series of wins happens,
Speaker 4: everyone will get the shield.
Speaker 3: Yeah except Southland.
Speaker 1: If only there was a dollar figure attached to it.
Speaker 1: I love first of all, so many people keep telling
Speaker 1: me how amazing the NPC has been this year. Like
Speaker 1: to watch all of those games that's been the premier competition.
Speaker 1: I reckon, we've been Super rugby. Just go with that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, But also I agree, I thought I thought the
Speaker 4: quality was good because you know, you talked about the discrepancy.
Speaker 3: You love watching it for the discrepancies.
Speaker 4: That's Heartland. That's Heartland and NPC. They were all super
Speaker 4: rugby players and all blacks playing as well. I mean
Speaker 4: Rinton was they're playing for Hawks Bay. The hooker for
Speaker 4: the Chiefs was playing for the Hawks Bay. There were
Speaker 4: some bloody good players playing.
Speaker 1: And also you feel more affinity for your region and
Speaker 1: the NPC than you do in Super Rugby. Like I know,
Speaker 1: I like to crap on about the Crusaders, but it's
Speaker 1: only because I like wanting people up and you know,
Speaker 1: having a team to root for in Super Rugby. But
Speaker 1: christ here is just three hours away from where I
Speaker 1: grew up. I don't particularly give a shit about, you know,
Speaker 1: the Crusaders. But people let you onto their team.
Speaker 4: Big challenge this week in Wellington chairsman, it were going good. Yeah,
Speaker 4: so that's another kind of top of the table class Yeah,
Speaker 4: shield Chid and then looking at that, if if Wellington
Speaker 4: take it, then they play Bay of Plenty at home.
Speaker 4: Oh wow, so they get a challenge straight away as well.
Speaker 4: And then if they have Plenty win it, then Northland
Speaker 4: get a crack Oh my god the next week and
Speaker 4: if Northland won it, then a Targo get another get
Speaker 4: a crack Jesus.
Speaker 3: And Targo won it, then Wake get a a ahoun.
Speaker 1: So the Shield coming to a school near you do
Speaker 1: not let your children near it. Also just great to
Speaker 1: see how much the Shield still means to people. You know,
Speaker 1: so many people talk about how we're all rugbied out
Speaker 1: in that, but the Shield changing hands, you know, everyone
Speaker 1: went nuts.
Speaker 4: It's the best thing about it. The best thing that
Speaker 4: happened to the Shield was the reason that got snorted off.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Last season really brought it back to the fourth one.
Speaker 1: And just finally before we take one more quick break,
Speaker 1: the black Caps are in action. The staff the noon
Speaker 1: I think four pm.
Speaker 3: And shooty on sky Sport.
Speaker 4: The biggest game of the Yawning Yeah, it is the
Speaker 4: black Caps playing their first ever full Test match versus Afghanistan.
Speaker 1: Where is it?
Speaker 3: India?
Speaker 4: Oka been played in India and I think Afghanistan are
Speaker 4: playing paying sevens for that Test.
Speaker 3: And I mean, look, who knows.
Speaker 4: What the conditions are like anything to anything Indian, it's
Speaker 4: going to be turning.
Speaker 3: That's going to be a difficult challenge for New Zealand.
Speaker 1: Yes, people have been asking whether we're going to commentate
Speaker 1: it or not.
Speaker 3: No, we've made a stand.
Speaker 1: We have in unity with women worldwide across the globe
Speaker 1: and as a stance against the Taliban regime in Afghanistan.
Speaker 1: The a SEC will not be commentating this game. And
Speaker 1: a lot of people are saying, oh, it's just because
Speaker 1: you guys can't be fun. No, that's not what it is. No,
Speaker 1: we're taking a stance against the attle bit of that
Speaker 1: and also that we couldn't find anyone to commentate it.
Speaker 1: But mainly, I haven't got the rights and we haven't
Speaker 1: got the rights. Apart from that, and even if we did,
Speaker 1: we couldn't be fuck Staying up till eleven o'clock every
Speaker 1: night this week.
Speaker 3: To watch it is pretty crazy.
Speaker 4: Talked about it a lot the Taliban announced the other
Speaker 4: week that women couldn't leave the house US like women
Speaker 4: aren't being educated like that says.
Speaker 1: Well, you're you're not allowed to go to university now.
Speaker 1: But also if you're a woman, you're not allowed to
Speaker 1: go and see a male doctor. So in a generation's time,
Speaker 1: they're not going to have any female doctors and women
Speaker 1: will not be allowed to go to the male doctors.
Speaker 1: And that's why I'm not commentating the crowd.
Speaker 4: I also just noticed that they disbanded the Afghanistan women's
Speaker 4: team in not twenty twenty one when Taliban took over, right,
Speaker 4: but everyone seems to be gone not really paying any
Speaker 4: notice attention to.
Speaker 1: That as because they were mean at the Sweet Teach
Speaker 1: twenty World Cup. They got that real cool spinboller. So anyway, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: we're taking a political stance. And also we can't be fucked.
Speaker 1: It's a long whats there?
Speaker 3: What a team does that? No?
Speaker 4: But good and good news. We will be covering the
Speaker 4: summer of cricket. You coming up England, Sri Lanka and Pakistan.
Speaker 4: That that English series, those three test matches. We'll be
Speaker 4: covering that live with free on iHeartRadio. So we're not
Speaker 4: we haven't given up the ghost completely.
Speaker 1: We've just all right, one more quick break. We'll come
Speaker 1: back with yours please, yours please.
Speaker 2: Brought you by Leader Home of the List.
Speaker 1: Just a couple of gets through this morning lane. First
Speaker 1: one goes like, let's call it yours.
Speaker 3: Please get that was just catching up with the sports podcast.
Speaker 3: Thought i'll give you a sport related story.
Speaker 4: So I was trying hafling ways.
Speaker 1: Co worker and we see a pothole.
Speaker 3: That pophole was filled with dark and a little darkly.
Speaker 1: And safe to say not all of them made it out,
Speaker 1: and we spent the next couple of hours not talking
Speaker 1: at all, and still.
Speaker 3: My coworker brokesast.
Speaker 1: The first half there. I think it was me and
Speaker 1: Heath talking about accidentally hitting animals where you were you're
Speaker 1: driving and just how horrific that can be.
Speaker 4: It's that thud, it's that, it's the thud, it's the
Speaker 4: flesh thud on metals.
Speaker 3: That is the thing that haunts you.
Speaker 1: And also I was like, what do you can do?
Speaker 1: You can't swerve, I said. I told him about the
Speaker 1: time I allegedly reportedly had a deer or drink driving
Speaker 1: through a forest in England. How dearfy that that.
Speaker 3: Is a terrible sentence you should never repeat.
Speaker 1: Well, it didn't happen, but it may have. Its also
Speaker 1: the time my mother had a duck that was flying
Speaker 1: across the road and then its head was sticking out
Speaker 1: of the radiator when we popped the hood. There's another
Speaker 1: time we were driving and I looked across at my
Speaker 1: mother and she's prone to getting frights, and there was
Speaker 1: a praying mantis directly above her head on the ceiling
Speaker 1: of the car. And I was like, hey, mum, can
Speaker 1: you pull over. She's like, oh, for God's sake why.
Speaker 1: I was like, I can't tell you why, but can
Speaker 1: you can you please pull over? And she's like, look,
Speaker 1: got about another hour before we home. I'm not I'm
Speaker 1: not going to pull over. What do you need? You
Speaker 1: need food? We just ate otherwise, Like just just trust me,
Speaker 1: She's like, no, I won't. Was like, there's a breakback
Speaker 1: your head. And then she swoved and we crashed and
Speaker 1: but yeah, what's the biggest thing you've hit in the car.
Speaker 3: We we had a remember hitting a duck. I don't
Speaker 3: know why ducks.
Speaker 4: Bucks are a bit too slow, because you know the
Speaker 4: other boot like the miners you know the miners, they
Speaker 4: always get out just in the nick of time on.
Speaker 3: The road and stuff. But hawks always do as well, seagulls.
Speaker 4: Usually unless it's a taxi in Dneda. But we had
Speaker 4: a duck and we knew it hit it and it
Speaker 4: was in the grill. We knew it had it, but
Speaker 4: we didn't quite know and like your mum, and embedded
Speaker 4: in the grill. But we had another couple of hours
Speaker 4: to go on the open road and we started to
Speaker 4: smell this kind of like roast duck.
Speaker 3: A cooking meat smell.
Speaker 4: And then we stopped and pretty much it had cooked
Speaker 4: it self on the radiator. It took us so long
Speaker 4: to peel it out of the grill and it kind
Speaker 4: of water blasted out and pulling bits and pieces out
Speaker 4: of it.
Speaker 1: Did you give it any taste?
Speaker 3: No, we didn't. Didn't quite get that. But that's probably
Speaker 3: the biggest biggest.
Speaker 4: I mean, I've managed to stay clear of cats and dogs.
Speaker 4: Oh I had possums hit a lot of possums. Oh yeah,
Speaker 4: than a duck.
Speaker 1: Wallabies.
Speaker 3: Haven't had a wallaby? Oh mate, tell you what a
Speaker 3: little bit of damage of wallaby wouldn't it get?
Speaker 1: It was a few years ago, I went out to
Speaker 1: mate's party out in the country where my message came
Speaker 1: to pick me up. When we drove back in summer,
Speaker 1: the roads heat up when the sun's on them, you know,
Speaker 1: during the day, and then at night all the wallabies
Speaker 1: come and lie on the roads because the roads are warm.
Speaker 1: So then you're trying to drive home, you get the
Speaker 1: lights on, you just see a hundred peers of eyeballs
Speaker 1: looking back at you with a one hundred wallowies asleep
Speaker 1: on the road. Yeah, but because there's so many of them,
Speaker 1: Like if it's just one, they'll jump up and bounce off,
Speaker 1: but they're all sitting there and they were just looking
Speaker 1: at you. Fucking hell. People hit wallabies all the time
Speaker 1: down South Canary like that thing because the way they
Speaker 1: run they jump, that thing will end up in your bloody.
Speaker 1: Passenger said, if you if you're not kill come straight
Speaker 1: through the window.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a that's a problem in Australia, isn't it.
Speaker 4: They come through and then they kick the ship out
Speaker 4: of you through the windscreen. Then the groubars, yeah, throw
Speaker 4: them over. Yeah, and one bets you'll bounce right off
Speaker 4: a one bet Quakers coucker. You would destroy a quacker.
Speaker 1: Apparently there's a problem that they have in Canada and
Speaker 1: Alaska with most because most are so tall that they
Speaker 1: stand at windscreen height for most cars anyway, so if
Speaker 1: you hit one, it just comes straight through the wind
Speaker 1: screen edge.
Speaker 3: Oh man, you wouldn't. Yeah, that's that'd be a disaster.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're all way off in the weeds right now.
Speaker 1: One more caller here, you're.
