This is 0:00:05.000 --> 0:00:08.639 the Agenda Podcast for Tuesday to second of July. 0:00:09.680 --> 0:00:13.920 The Agenda Podcast, the home of Sporting nonsense and clap Trap, 0:00:14.360 --> 0:00:16.320 brought to you by Export Culture. 0:00:17.680 --> 0:00:19.639 Jason Pine will be on the podcast later on to 0:00:19.840 --> 0:00:22.280 god lend a bit of backbone to this podcast because 0:00:22.480 --> 0:00:25.120 as well as we often say football blind spot to. 0:00:25.120 --> 0:00:27.720 Us, I'm look, it's my goal and the end of 0:00:27.760 --> 0:00:30.920 the year to not be our blind spot. You know, 0:00:31.200 --> 0:00:33.280 on some wing mirrors, you know they have the little 0:00:33.360 --> 0:00:35.120 round thing at the top of the wing mirror to 0:00:35.159 --> 0:00:36.080 cover the blind spot. 0:00:36.200 --> 0:00:39.199 Are you saying that, as far as this podcast is concerned, 0:00:39.200 --> 0:00:41.239 things in the rear view mirror may be bigger than 0:00:41.280 --> 0:00:43.800 they actually appear. Correct, You may actually know a little 0:00:43.840 --> 0:00:45.000 bit more about the round ball. 0:00:45.120 --> 0:00:47.920 Yeah, correct. By the end of the year, we hopefully 0:00:47.960 --> 0:00:50.280 I love having Piney on he is the voice of 0:00:50.560 --> 0:00:53.360 the round ball in New Zealand. But I'm hoping that 0:00:53.400 --> 0:00:57.640 with Auckland FC coming on board in October that we 0:00:57.800 --> 0:01:01.080 will be skilled up enough not to upset the football 0:01:01.120 --> 0:01:03.280 fans out there, because at the moment I think they're agitated. 0:01:03.360 --> 0:01:06.160 Yeah. It's hard though, because, like you know, if you 0:01:06.160 --> 0:01:08.480 follow rugby, it's quite easy to figure out who the 0:01:08.520 --> 0:01:10.840 biggest players are. You follow basketball, they're all play in 0:01:10.840 --> 0:01:13.640 the NBA, so that's very easy. But with football there's 0:01:13.640 --> 0:01:16.280 so many different leagues. Yeah, you know, you get found 0:01:16.280 --> 0:01:19.520 out very quickly when you're like, who what, I think he's. 0:01:19.400 --> 0:01:21.320 Just an Italian league. You just have to weigh into 0:01:21.360 --> 0:01:23.560 one team, like follow Aston Villa and then just know 0:01:23.600 --> 0:01:25.600 all the players there, and then you don't have to 0:01:25.600 --> 0:01:27.160 know about anyone from men City. 0:01:27.040 --> 0:01:29.319 Or because I mean, yeah, no, I do know what 0:01:29.319 --> 0:01:31.080 you mean. Because if you can just summon up a 0:01:31.120 --> 0:01:33.640 bench player for Aston Villa, yeah, then it sounds like 0:01:33.680 --> 0:01:36.000 you know a lot about the camp, but actually you 0:01:36.080 --> 0:01:37.160 only know about one team. 0:01:37.280 --> 0:01:39.280 So maybe we should okay, I mean we're going to 0:01:39.360 --> 0:01:42.480 go all in on Auckland FC. That's that's the startup, 0:01:42.480 --> 0:01:44.360 and maybe we should go all in on one team 0:01:44.400 --> 0:01:45.640 each on the APL. 0:01:46.319 --> 0:01:48.400 Yeah, and then we can pretend like we know. I 0:01:48.400 --> 0:01:51.320 think the shortcut is a development player. If you can 0:01:51.360 --> 0:01:54.280 summon up like a development players, like well, I love 0:01:54.320 --> 0:01:55.840 where they're going and they've got this young kid. 0:01:55.960 --> 0:01:58.040 Yeah, he's good, he's good man, he's come through. 0:01:58.120 --> 0:02:01.080 I think he's at a out of Germany. 0:02:00.640 --> 0:02:02.920 And he's He's one team you can't follow tonight, and 0:02:02.920 --> 0:02:04.320 that's Rexham. Okay, that's cheating. 0:02:04.800 --> 0:02:06.600 Yeah, that's the drive to survive. 0:02:06.760 --> 0:02:08.600 Yeah, you can't follow Rexham. Now you got to pick 0:02:08.639 --> 0:02:10.600 someone else. Reading was a team for me when I 0:02:10.639 --> 0:02:12.880 was in London. Yeah, only because my parents lived in 0:02:12.919 --> 0:02:15.280 Reading and then yeah that was my only affiliation. 0:02:15.360 --> 0:02:18.000 That's enough though, because it's like people stayed of origins 0:02:18.040 --> 0:02:20.640 like that. We're here in New Zealand, there'll be people 0:02:20.639 --> 0:02:23.240 who are like I bleed blue, New South Wales slide die. 0:02:23.280 --> 0:02:26.760 I couldn't name two cities in New South Wales. I 0:02:26.800 --> 0:02:31.040 don't think I could either Will Newcastle, Yeah, Rudy Hill, 0:02:32.840 --> 0:02:37.640 Broken Hill, Dubble Tarr No, I think mountains, but yeah, 0:02:37.840 --> 0:02:40.120 I just think yeah football quite hard to quite hard. 0:02:40.120 --> 0:02:41.800 Fallow anyway, you don't have to listen to us talk 0:02:41.800 --> 0:02:43.440 about it for much longer because Piney will be on 0:02:43.520 --> 0:02:46.160 very shortly. Cory Hawesbrough, who was throwing the punches at 0:02:46.240 --> 0:02:50.400 Jacob Laban, the Fiery Ranger, Fiery Ranger. He has had 0:02:50.440 --> 0:02:55.240 his judicial bandhanded down to him. It's only two weeks. 0:02:56.040 --> 0:02:58.560 So he got one week for one incident in two 0:02:58.600 --> 0:03:00.000 weeks for another. And I think they're going to be 0:03:00.080 --> 0:03:03.000 served concurrently. I'm sure I'll be corrected on that. It's 0:03:03.040 --> 0:03:04.720 either two or three weeks that he's got for that. 0:03:05.120 --> 0:03:07.720 So do you think they the judiciary looked at it 0:03:07.760 --> 0:03:10.920 and meant if we ban him for more than six weeks, 0:03:11.240 --> 0:03:13.760 we're going to be called up by all the gingers 0:03:13.760 --> 0:03:16.200 for picking on being gingerous. 0:03:16.600 --> 0:03:19.440 Yeah, potentially there's a bit of wocism at play here. 0:03:19.720 --> 0:03:22.080 I just kind of think, you know, they talk so 0:03:22.160 --> 0:03:25.560 much about bring back the Biff three weeks for throwing 0:03:26.040 --> 0:03:28.840 multiple punches that landed on a guy's face and a 0:03:28.880 --> 0:03:31.040 head butt and a head butt, and you only get 0:03:31.080 --> 0:03:34.359 three weeks. Bff's back. The Biff is back. Someone wake 0:03:34.440 --> 0:03:36.960 up Red Dragon, because the Berff is back. I doubt the. 0:03:36.880 --> 0:03:39.400 Biff is back until a Warrior's player biffs. Yeah, well 0:03:39.440 --> 0:03:40.520 then he's gone for six months. 0:03:40.560 --> 0:03:42.440 That's the other thing, isn't it. Because the referee that 0:03:42.680 --> 0:03:44.720 when they were going through the footage, they played the 0:03:44.760 --> 0:03:47.440 referees tape and he said, oh yeah, there was a 0:03:47.480 --> 0:03:49.720 bit from both sides as well. And then you watch 0:03:49.760 --> 0:03:52.520 the replay like extended replays, you watch it in real time. 0:03:52.800 --> 0:03:55.400 There's nothing, there's no back and forth. There's a bit 0:03:55.440 --> 0:03:58.320 of like smiling and laughing and pointing, which will definitely 0:03:58.320 --> 0:04:01.720 inflame a fiery rang Corey hawsbro. Yeah, but that's not 0:04:01.800 --> 0:04:03.040 against the rules of the game. 0:04:03.280 --> 0:04:05.840 One one I did see the replayer, did I watched it. 0:04:05.880 --> 0:04:08.720 One warrior who got sent off came flying it did 0:04:08.840 --> 0:04:09.680 come flying in with it. 0:04:09.920 --> 0:04:12.080 That was Tom Ally, Yeah. Yeah, and he's the third man, 0:04:12.160 --> 0:04:13.440 and I think he went for one of those like 0:04:13.560 --> 0:04:15.080 shirt collar push punch. 0:04:15.520 --> 0:04:17.480 Here was an ice hockey punch, wasn't it. Yeah, Yeah, 0:04:17.480 --> 0:04:19.719 where they grabbed the shirt and then multiple punches. 0:04:19.880 --> 0:04:21.360 Yes, and they're trying to make it look like that 0:04:21.520 --> 0:04:22.920 just trying to rough them up with the collar, but 0:04:22.960 --> 0:04:24.600 actually what they're trying to just punch them in the chin. 0:04:26.320 --> 0:04:28.080 I've always been big on the third man, and he 0:04:28.120 --> 0:04:30.919 gets been regardless, so that was fair enough. But I 0:04:31.080 --> 0:04:34.440 just the biff's back. I reckon, you're you're gonna throw 0:04:34.440 --> 0:04:35.680 it down if you're gonna be out there in the 0:04:35.760 --> 0:04:38.280 NRL at the moment, just buger it. But that's three 0:04:38.320 --> 0:04:40.840 weeks out for Corey Hawesbury, who's had an absolute shocker 0:04:40.880 --> 0:04:43.280 of a season, can't get back onto the field. This 0:04:43.320 --> 0:04:46.320 will not help him. Also, Wimbledon has just started. I 0:04:46.360 --> 0:04:48.560 don't know if you knew that, well, yeah, because I do. 0:04:48.640 --> 0:04:51.159 I only know because I heard it on the news, 0:04:51.160 --> 0:04:54.640 on the radio, actually on Herdaki and the wireless, on 0:04:54.720 --> 0:04:58.160 the wireless, because I don't think any there's no broadcast 0:04:58.200 --> 0:05:00.160 the covering it in New Zealand. 0:05:00.320 --> 0:05:03.160 Oh it's not on Sky nah and on tv Z either. 0:05:03.320 --> 0:05:05.960 It's very early doors in the competition, so maybe they'll 0:05:06.000 --> 0:05:08.320 get around to it. But all the big names have started. 0:05:08.560 --> 0:05:12.320 Alcarez just smashed someone. We'll probably find out. I always 0:05:12.320 --> 0:05:13.680 forget how young Alcarez is. 0:05:13.920 --> 0:05:15.599 Yeah, it's like nineteen. 0:05:15.760 --> 0:05:18.240 He's getting younger. Yeah, he's Benjamin Buttoning. I think he's 0:05:18.240 --> 0:05:23.200 about fourteen this year. But we've got our own qualifier. 0:05:23.240 --> 0:05:26.800 Can we qualify Lulu's Sun who's stunned Chinese eighth seed 0:05:26.880 --> 0:05:30.359 Jing Jin Winn in the Wimbledon opening round. Now she 0:05:30.880 --> 0:05:34.640 Lulu was born in Tiana char Now you may know 0:05:34.720 --> 0:05:37.960 it is down there in the South Island, beautiful, beautiful 0:05:37.960 --> 0:05:39.839 part of the country wit and lived in Switzerland for 0:05:39.880 --> 0:05:43.039 a while, Yeah, but has elected to play under the 0:05:43.040 --> 0:05:43.960 New Zealand flag. 0:05:44.080 --> 0:05:48.320 She's got the most sensational international accent. Yeah, her talk, 0:05:48.400 --> 0:05:51.400 it's like, not Kiwi, it's not American, it's not Australian, 0:05:51.760 --> 0:05:55.560 it's just this international, nondescript accent. 0:05:55.680 --> 0:05:58.320 Yeah. I think there's a tennis accent that started to develop. 0:05:58.760 --> 0:06:01.359 Who's that girl, Ratliffe, She's got it as well, A 0:06:01.400 --> 0:06:04.120 little bit right, And I think it is just because 0:06:04.160 --> 0:06:05.760 if you want to get good at tennis, you get 0:06:05.760 --> 0:06:08.200 identified at about eight years old, and you go to Florida, 0:06:08.240 --> 0:06:11.040 and you go to Florida, and then you're playing tournaments 0:06:11.080 --> 0:06:13.919 around Eastern Europe. Chances are you're of some sort of 0:06:14.440 --> 0:06:18.280 former Yugoslav descent and then you just get chucked into 0:06:18.279 --> 0:06:20.320 this hodgepodge and then you get that accent, and that 0:06:20.360 --> 0:06:22.719 accent makes you good at tennis, but a massive upset 0:06:22.760 --> 0:06:27.120 as well. I think as much as the tennis circuit 0:06:27.160 --> 0:06:30.800 seems to creat psychopaths and it would be a grueling, 0:06:30.880 --> 0:06:33.440 grueling sport to bean, I feel like it'd be quite 0:06:33.440 --> 0:06:35.800 fun just going floating around the world, going from tournament 0:06:35.839 --> 0:06:36.320 to tournament. 0:06:36.480 --> 0:06:39.000 I think if you could get past the like yeah, 0:06:39.120 --> 0:06:45.599 it's psychopathic because it's individual and it is physically so 0:06:45.760 --> 0:06:49.800 physically demanding. You look at golf, Golf is mental and individual. 0:06:49.880 --> 0:06:52.559 You know, there is some real mental games going on there, huge, 0:06:52.600 --> 0:06:55.400 and that is some mental struggles. Tennis you've got the 0:06:55.400 --> 0:06:57.960 mental struggle and the physical struggle. You know, You've got 0:06:58.279 --> 0:07:00.000 someone goes to a five setter and they're playing to 0:07:00.120 --> 0:07:01.520 three in the morning, and then you got to get 0:07:01.560 --> 0:07:02.799 out the next day and go again. 0:07:03.000 --> 0:07:04.280 Yeah, and it's just. 0:07:04.360 --> 0:07:07.440 You, whereas in golf, I feel, oh, yeah, it's not. 0:07:07.680 --> 0:07:11.720 It's physical, sure, but it's not. But it's you're not like, nah, 0:07:11.920 --> 0:07:15.560 eighteen holes, don't go for eight hours one day, no, yeah, yeah, that's. 0:07:15.520 --> 0:07:18.240 Right and all through the night. Yeah, and then like 0:07:18.360 --> 0:07:20.360 forty degree with it. Yeah, that's right. Any niggle you 0:07:20.360 --> 0:07:22.080 pick up playing golf, you can get a massage in 0:07:22.080 --> 0:07:24.160 your suite again. Yeah. But yeah, you roll your you 0:07:24.240 --> 0:07:26.240 roll your ankle on the grass there at Wimbledon, you're 0:07:26.280 --> 0:07:28.920 in deep, deep shit because you get another tournament next 0:07:28.960 --> 0:07:31.680 week and you haven't quite paid the bills from the 0:07:31.720 --> 0:07:34.360 last tournament. So that part of it is. But I 0:07:34.360 --> 0:07:35.960 do think it'll be fun just going around the world, 0:07:36.000 --> 0:07:39.120 going to tournaments, like the setup of it. But yeah, 0:07:39.360 --> 0:07:41.360 anytime you watch those Netflix docos. 0:07:41.040 --> 0:07:42.960 You're like, oh, these guys, Yeah, they're on edge, they 0:07:42.960 --> 0:07:43.960 are on edge. 0:07:44.000 --> 0:07:46.280 And then I mean everyone would have read Old Andre 0:07:46.320 --> 0:07:48.360 Agassi's autobiography. 0:07:48.480 --> 0:07:51.080 Yeah, I think that the weirdest had that autobiography for 0:07:51.120 --> 0:07:53.040 me was the fact he had a picture of Stiffy 0:07:53.040 --> 0:07:56.240 Graff on his wall as a teenager. Yeah. I had 0:07:56.280 --> 0:07:59.280 a massive crash on Stiffy Graff and then he ended 0:07:59.320 --> 0:08:03.440 up closing the Well, I mean to me, that's that's 0:08:03.480 --> 0:08:04.320 the ultimate, isn't it. 0:08:04.480 --> 0:08:07.520 Well, it's on the one hand, very very creepy. On 0:08:07.560 --> 0:08:11.040 the one hand, like very very very creepy. But on 0:08:11.120 --> 0:08:13.960 the other hand, how he didn't just completely capitulate when 0:08:14.000 --> 0:08:17.160 he finally met her, Because you know, that's what I mean. 0:08:17.440 --> 0:08:20.600 I had a poster of Dwayne Wade Duncan for the 0:08:20.640 --> 0:08:22.560 Miami Heat on my wall, and if I hadn't met him, 0:08:22.560 --> 0:08:25.280 I would have lost the plot, let alone. Piling on 0:08:25.320 --> 0:08:28.160 top of that meritable intentions. 0:08:27.640 --> 0:08:31.200 I had a picture of you know, the the tennis 0:08:31.240 --> 0:08:33.839 player model who was fetching the ball from her the 0:08:33.920 --> 0:08:35.600 back of her skirt and she was lifting up her 0:08:35.640 --> 0:08:39.000 skirt you know that famous photo from behind, but get 0:08:39.040 --> 0:08:42.720 a wee cheeky shot of the bum cheek and they're 0:08:42.720 --> 0:08:44.800 reaching around getting the ball. It's a non description, not 0:08:44.800 --> 0:08:47.080 even a tennis player. But I d on my ball 0:08:47.520 --> 0:08:51.200 and I would have capitulated if I'd ever met that person. 0:08:51.400 --> 0:08:54.160 I also had Samantha Fox. I had a picture of 0:08:54.200 --> 0:08:56.840 Samantha Fox. Can you remember her? No, don't look her up. 0:08:56.720 --> 0:08:59.319 Now, Okay, I will. I will look her up in 0:08:59.400 --> 0:09:05.680 my own time. Yeah, but I just manifestation at its best. Yeah, 0:09:05.760 --> 0:09:07.880 that he had a thing I've heard and he ended 0:09:07.920 --> 0:09:08.360 up married. 0:09:08.880 --> 0:09:11.640 But yeah, I don't happily married to Hey still happily 0:09:11.640 --> 0:09:12.120 married either? 0:09:12.280 --> 0:09:16.720 YEA great? I don't think. Yeah, I don't think anyone 0:09:16.720 --> 0:09:18.920 makes it out alive with that sport. No one seems 0:09:18.920 --> 0:09:21.480 to be too well adjusted. He might be one of 0:09:21.480 --> 0:09:22.400 the more normal ones. 0:09:22.720 --> 0:09:25.000 Roger Federer seems feeling normal. But I mean, is that 0:09:25.200 --> 0:09:29.640 just the Swiss metronomic nature of his personality is he's 0:09:29.760 --> 0:09:33.480 managed to survive without being too messed up. 0:09:33.760 --> 0:09:36.680 He's too nice. He's like those guys. Yeah, when you 0:09:36.720 --> 0:09:39.240 meet someone that's just like really really nice. 0:09:39.040 --> 0:09:40.439 And you're like he's into something bad. 0:09:41.240 --> 0:09:44.240 Yeah, we're all running from something. You know, you just 0:09:44.280 --> 0:09:48.320 don't talk about what your thing is. That's the only difference. Roger. 0:09:49.160 --> 0:09:51.000 The rest of us are pretty open with our vices. 0:09:51.160 --> 0:09:52.880 Hey, somebody's gonna announce today. 0:09:52.960 --> 0:09:53.040 Up. 0:09:53.040 --> 0:09:56.360 We might have re announced it yesterday around the pregame 0:09:56.360 --> 0:10:00.400 at the Kensington and Dunedan that some else will be 0:10:00.440 --> 0:10:02.960 joining us. And Richie Muwanga, yes, will be joining us 0:10:02.960 --> 0:10:06.120 and driving the Export Express yep. And he's going to 0:10:06.120 --> 0:10:09.280 be doing transfers from the Kensington to Foresight Bar all 0:10:09.320 --> 0:10:12.079 afternoon on Saturday. On Saturday, you just had to get 0:10:12.080 --> 0:10:13.960 to the Kensington. I think it's two for one deals 0:10:14.040 --> 0:10:16.880 is live music. I've got Mitch James playing. We've got 0:10:16.920 --> 0:10:20.679 heaps of stuff to give away. Me and you and 0:10:20.840 --> 0:10:22.679 Heath are going to be there, give anyway a bit 0:10:22.720 --> 0:10:23.200 of stuff. 0:10:23.240 --> 0:10:25.079 Oh me, you and Heath. I love me, you and Heath, Me, 0:10:25.160 --> 0:10:25.680 you and Heath. 0:10:26.240 --> 0:10:27.680 So it's going to be a great afternoon. I wouldn't 0:10:27.760 --> 0:10:29.480 go anywhere else. If you are going to Dunedin, or 0:10:29.480 --> 0:10:31.840 you are in Dunedin, come down and join us at 0:10:31.840 --> 0:10:35.040 the Kensington. But the day before we're thinking about on 0:10:35.080 --> 0:10:37.719 the Friday is getting the Export Express, which is a 0:10:37.800 --> 0:10:41.160 sixty seed a bus and heading out to the airport 0:10:41.200 --> 0:10:44.719 in Dunedin. Now, anyone who has flown into Dunedin will know. 0:10:45.120 --> 0:10:47.959 That they have never flown into Dunedin because Dunedan does 0:10:47.960 --> 0:10:48.480 not have any ever. 0:10:48.760 --> 0:10:52.640 No Momona does, which is one hundred dollars taxi ride 0:10:53.040 --> 0:10:55.880 out of Dunedin. And so we're thinking of maybe just 0:10:55.960 --> 0:11:00.680 rolling up with the Riches Export Express and just parking 0:11:00.720 --> 0:11:03.280 up and piling it with punters and driving them into town. 0:11:03.360 --> 0:11:05.200 I love the idea, but you told me this just 0:11:05.200 --> 0:11:07.560 before we walked in here. I was like, I can't 0:11:07.600 --> 0:11:10.640 imagine anyone would fly into Dunedin without a plan of 0:11:10.640 --> 0:11:13.199 how they were going to get into thing, because into town, 0:11:13.280 --> 0:11:16.240 because it's so far, it is so far. It's like, honestly, 0:11:16.280 --> 0:11:17.920 it'll be one hundred dollars taxi probably. 0:11:17.920 --> 0:11:19.600 Well, you know people in Dunedina though, so you can 0:11:19.640 --> 0:11:21.840 make a call and go, hey, Dave, come pick me up. 0:11:21.840 --> 0:11:23.640 I think that's the part I'm missing is that I'm 0:11:23.679 --> 0:11:26.640 only ever like, if I'm going to Dunedin, I do 0:11:26.800 --> 0:11:29.120 know people that are there, and that anyone else who 0:11:29.160 --> 0:11:32.200 doesn't know people there probably is going there for business. Yes, 0:11:32.280 --> 0:11:34.960 and you get a taxi yeah, or has had this 0:11:35.000 --> 0:11:37.720 all Blacks game circled Yeah, and so then they were 0:11:37.720 --> 0:11:38.920 going to go get a taxi as well. So I 0:11:38.960 --> 0:11:40.800 don't know, I could be wrong. So I just couldn't 0:11:40.800 --> 0:11:42.520 imagine showing up to that airport without a plan. 0:11:42.600 --> 0:11:45.600 If you are flying on Friday afternoon from Wellington or 0:11:45.760 --> 0:11:48.480 christ Church or Auckland and you're landing there, look out 0:11:48.600 --> 0:11:52.440 for maybe myself or Richie Mo will be by the 0:11:52.440 --> 0:11:55.800 barrack baggage carousel. We've got sixty seats going. We may 0:11:55.800 --> 0:11:58.800 get our tires slash by the Dunedin taxi mafia because 0:11:58.840 --> 0:12:01.440 that's how they run. But it's going to be a 0:12:01.440 --> 0:12:06.679 great weekend. We're there what Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and we're 0:12:06.720 --> 0:12:09.760 also going to be doing a few flat drops around there. 0:12:09.800 --> 0:12:12.800 We've got some Leader lasagna toppers and Southern Fried chicken 0:12:12.840 --> 0:12:15.080 toppers and a few refreshments to give away as well. 0:12:15.160 --> 0:12:19.600 So cruising up and down Castle Streets potentially and around 0:12:19.600 --> 0:12:20.640 there the slums. 0:12:20.800 --> 0:12:23.720 Yeah, I wonder maybe someone could let me know. I 0:12:23.720 --> 0:12:25.560 think Thursday night, well, at least when I was there 0:12:25.600 --> 0:12:27.840 Thursday night with student night. So are we in the 0:12:27.920 --> 0:12:28.800 school holiday and. 0:12:28.760 --> 0:12:31.719 There's the holidays. Yeah, yeah, there's but there is a 0:12:31.760 --> 0:12:35.360 few people that stay down there. Not everyone departs, but 0:12:35.600 --> 0:12:37.679 you don't if you want a prize pack anyway, with 0:12:37.800 --> 0:12:41.440 like Snacker Changy Sports Scholarship, for example, you don't have 0:12:41.480 --> 0:12:43.920 to be in donedan text chip to three two three 0:12:43.960 --> 0:12:47.240 six because I've also got the Snack Changy Sports Scholarship 0:12:47.240 --> 0:12:50.440 to give away, which is a bunch of Snacker Changy's, 0:12:50.480 --> 0:12:55.480 some refreshments and where bingea, watching sport is a sport 0:12:55.720 --> 0:12:57.839 is what we're saying. So there you go get into it. 0:12:57.960 --> 0:13:00.600 Alrighty, let's take a quick break. When we come back, 0:13:00.679 --> 0:13:02.920 we're going to get the voice of the round Ball 0:13:03.000 --> 0:13:06.120 in New Zealand, Jason Pine, to run us down through 0:13:06.200 --> 0:13:10.240 the Euros. Well, it's been spoken about quite a lot 0:13:10.240 --> 0:13:14.120 on this podcast, lame that football can sometimes be a 0:13:14.160 --> 0:13:16.160 little bit of a blind spot for us and our 0:13:16.240 --> 0:13:19.920 Kelly's heel and Achilles heel. Yes, So to fill in 0:13:19.960 --> 0:13:21.800 that blind spot, we've brought on someone who knows all 0:13:21.840 --> 0:13:24.199 about the round ball, Jason Pine. Good morning, Piney, how 0:13:24.200 --> 0:13:24.800 are you mate? 0:13:25.040 --> 0:13:27.400 Yeah? Great, guys, thanks thanks for giving. 0:13:27.200 --> 0:13:29.480 Us a call mate, Thank you for coming on because 0:13:29.480 --> 0:13:31.800 you just basically rescue all of our credibility when it 0:13:31.840 --> 0:13:35.360 comes to football. We gave it a stab last week. 0:13:35.400 --> 0:13:37.559 We gave it a good, honest stab, and we absolutely 0:13:37.600 --> 0:13:39.760 cocked it up by saying that Portugal got knocked out 0:13:39.760 --> 0:13:43.920 by Georgia and that the Germany Denmark game was a 0:13:43.960 --> 0:13:47.280 nothing game. But we did predict the score. It was 0:13:47.320 --> 0:13:50.320 two nil and one seven hundred bucks. So it's been 0:13:50.360 --> 0:13:51.080 a roller coaster. 0:13:51.679 --> 0:13:56.480 Yeah, I look like a good redemption there at the end. Yes, good. 0:13:57.360 --> 0:13:59.679 You have to say, though, betting on football is fraught 0:13:59.679 --> 0:14:03.160 with theficulty, especially at tournaments like this, where you're always 0:14:03.200 --> 0:14:04.839 going to get teams raising their game. You're going to 0:14:04.880 --> 0:14:06.800 get the likes of Georgia. It wouldn't have never even 0:14:06.880 --> 0:14:09.360 been to a major tournament actually, you know, pulling off 0:14:09.360 --> 0:14:11.800 results like they did against Portugal, you'll get you know, 0:14:11.920 --> 0:14:15.640 supposed favorites Italy, you know, defending champions being knocked out 0:14:15.640 --> 0:14:18.440 in the round of sixteen, So very very difficult to predict. 0:14:18.760 --> 0:14:20.520 The cream does tend to rise to the top as 0:14:20.560 --> 0:14:22.640 we get towards the Semis in the final, but yeah, 0:14:23.440 --> 0:14:25.400 it wouldn't be a wouldn't be a major football tournament 0:14:25.440 --> 0:14:27.280 without without a few upsets along the way. 0:14:27.480 --> 0:14:29.760 No, we just finished watching at the time recording this, 0:14:29.800 --> 0:14:34.320 we just finished watching Portugal takeout Slovenia on penalties. Man, 0:14:34.320 --> 0:14:37.000 that was a show of emotion from old Ronaldo because 0:14:37.040 --> 0:14:39.600 I looked up from my desk and because I was 0:14:39.600 --> 0:14:42.880 working quite hard smating ye and then I saw he 0:14:43.040 --> 0:14:44.680 was crying in the huddle and I was like, oh, 0:14:44.760 --> 0:14:46.840 did they lose? No, no, no, They've still got another 0:14:46.880 --> 0:14:49.440 twenty minutes of footing to play and then they're going 0:14:49.440 --> 0:14:51.880 to penalties. I was like, what's going on here? It 0:14:52.400 --> 0:14:53.560 just is he always like. 0:14:53.560 --> 0:14:58.760 That, he's yeah, he's he's different, Old Christiana Ronaldo. I think, well, 0:14:59.520 --> 0:15:01.960 the the backstory of it is he missed a penalty 0:15:02.320 --> 0:15:05.000 in extra time, which would have in all likelihood have 0:15:05.000 --> 0:15:07.760 given Portugal the win. The fact that he missed it 0:15:07.800 --> 0:15:10.440 meant they went to a penalty shootout, during which he 0:15:10.480 --> 0:15:13.120 actually scored his penalty, so he kind of redeemed himself. 0:15:13.360 --> 0:15:17.080 But he knows, Cristiana Ronaldo that this is highly likely 0:15:17.120 --> 0:15:19.680 to be his last major tournament for Portugal. Watching now 0:15:19.720 --> 0:15:23.080 thirty nine, unlikely he'll be at the next Football World Cup, 0:15:23.120 --> 0:15:26.400 so this is probably it for him, and I guess. Yeah, 0:15:26.560 --> 0:15:30.400 the tears that were flowing fairly freely were just a 0:15:30.440 --> 0:15:33.080 shove of that emotion that you know, I've messed this up. 0:15:33.760 --> 0:15:36.120 And I was going to say he was thinking I've 0:15:36.120 --> 0:15:38.480 messed this up for my team, But really, when it 0:15:38.480 --> 0:15:41.440 comes to Cristiano Ronaldo, all he thinks about really is himself. 0:15:41.520 --> 0:15:45.480 So I think he's crying because he's thinking I've missed 0:15:45.520 --> 0:15:49.480 this up for myself. Thankfully, his teammates rallied around and 0:15:49.720 --> 0:15:51.720 gotten through the penalty shootout there and they're onto the 0:15:51.720 --> 0:15:52.160 next round. 0:15:52.240 --> 0:15:54.560 Yeah, it was a resounding one in the end on penalties, 0:15:54.600 --> 0:15:56.320 but I was just thinking, like, if you're going to 0:15:56.320 --> 0:15:58.480 go back out there onto that football pitch and he's 0:15:58.520 --> 0:16:02.040 your leader, absolutely balling his eyes out on the sideline, 0:16:02.200 --> 0:16:03.640 so that doesn't fill you with confidence. 0:16:04.200 --> 0:16:06.920 It's a great point. And if you think to yourself, Okay, 0:16:07.000 --> 0:16:10.400 what would Leonelle Messi do? Would he do that? Would 0:16:10.440 --> 0:16:13.120 he be, you know, blubbering away in a you know, 0:16:13.200 --> 0:16:16.840 in a in a team huddle, having having mister penalty. 0:16:16.880 --> 0:16:18.520 I think what he'd probably do was, even if he 0:16:18.560 --> 0:16:21.360 was feeling internally distraught, he'd say, right, I've got to 0:16:21.360 --> 0:16:23.520 show some leadership here and go out there and make 0:16:23.560 --> 0:16:25.640 sure that the next chance becomes along goes in the 0:16:25.640 --> 0:16:28.200 back of the net. So yeah, I mean Christiana Ronaldo. 0:16:28.240 --> 0:16:31.800 I mean absolutely generational footballer. And there's always been the 0:16:31.800 --> 0:16:35.360 Messi v Ronaldo debate. But yeah, if you're looking at 0:16:35.360 --> 0:16:37.800 them as human beings, I think Messi is a lot 0:16:37.960 --> 0:16:40.800 easier to like than Christiana Ronaldo is. 0:16:40.960 --> 0:16:43.360 Well, absolutely, he's not. He's not has a bath of 0:16:43.920 --> 0:16:47.560 fake tan and a suspiciously large Adam's Apple for a start. 0:16:47.680 --> 0:16:51.160 So I'm a massive Messy fan. I've actually, I've actually 0:16:51.200 --> 0:16:55.600 Metel Messi. Piney that I met him. I met him 0:16:55.640 --> 0:16:59.240 in Abu Dhabi during the Football Club World Cup. He 0:16:59.280 --> 0:17:02.200 was playing for bas Lona and he was playing in 0:17:02.240 --> 0:17:07.160 that rock star team that had pool in Esta and him, 0:17:07.280 --> 0:17:09.840 and he was in the changing rooms and he was 0:17:09.880 --> 0:17:11.479 a bit lost. I didn't know where he was going, and 0:17:11.520 --> 0:17:14.119 I showed him where the changing room was, like he lost. 0:17:14.400 --> 0:17:17.679 He's tiny, He's a small man, so. 0:17:19.680 --> 0:17:21.280 How what were you doing there? 0:17:23.400 --> 0:17:25.200 I used to work for FIFA Pony. I used to 0:17:25.280 --> 0:17:28.040 run the Football Club Club World Cup and the UEE 0:17:28.160 --> 0:17:28.800 for two years. 0:17:29.040 --> 0:17:31.040 No, I mean hanging around the I mean hanging around 0:17:31.080 --> 0:17:31.760 the changing room. 0:17:31.880 --> 0:17:35.800 No, I was in operations, so I basically a player 0:17:35.840 --> 0:17:38.160 operations and stuff, so were and it was very comp 0:17:38.359 --> 0:17:40.240 It was very complex at the time, Pony, because we 0:17:40.280 --> 0:17:42.960 had a double hitter, so we had four teams all 0:17:43.000 --> 0:17:46.360 in one corridor. And one of the teams was actually Auckland, 0:17:47.119 --> 0:17:50.440 the Auckland Football Club, Auckland City and that I told 0:17:50.440 --> 0:17:52.560 you about that and when I caught them ups afterwards 0:17:52.560 --> 0:17:54.560 after the games had finished, all queued up outside the 0:17:54.560 --> 0:17:56.760 Barcelona changing room with merchandise to sign. 0:17:58.400 --> 0:18:02.280 Yeah, just display of notes when it comes to that tournament. Yeah, 0:18:01.800 --> 0:18:04.359 it's although we're the same as the World Cup. You know, 0:18:05.359 --> 0:18:08.680 when Australia played Argentina, all of the Australian players afterwards 0:18:08.720 --> 0:18:12.080
