Speaker 1: eating and you can only drink water, and you take
Speaker 1: these laxatus, which basically turn your stools into into bumwee Yeah.

Speaker 1: You did share with everyone, and I'm good on you
Speaker 1: for doing it. It lasted about twenty or thirty seconds.
Speaker 1: Your one was like a river. Yeah, and so that
Speaker 1: was my expectations for my school. And so I sent
Speaker 1: you audio with my one and it was very much
Speaker 1: short and sharp.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: It was you know, four or five seconds powerful.
Speaker 3: It was powerful.
Speaker 1: Yeah, But my expectations were, so, shall I play you
Speaker 1: Here's here's mine? Yeah, now.
Speaker 3: Here you go the little dribble at the end.
Speaker 1: See, that's it, that's it. That was That was all
Speaker 1: mine was. So and your one was probably ten times
Speaker 1: a link.
Speaker 3: There, I've got mine. I've got mine here, Johnny.
Speaker 1: Here, Like, I hope no one's eating or if you're
Speaker 1: eating and listening to this podcast, you're one. Okay, let's
Speaker 1: and then compare and you change gears down to second.
Speaker 3: Here listen there you go, see you keep on.
Speaker 1: Then I go, yeah, I can't try see this, Okay,
Speaker 1: So I'm I go to the doctor and you go
Speaker 1: to the doctor, and my biggest fear is I'm going
Speaker 1: to shut all over them. Yeah, because you're in a
Speaker 1: vulnerle position. I open you up my big fear is
Speaker 1: are going to shuttle over his face. So at the
Speaker 1: consultation beforehand, he says, if you've got any questions, and
Speaker 1: I said, yeah, I'm unsure if I've got rid of
Speaker 1: it all because I listened to my mate sent me
Speaker 1: a recording of him do it. And first of all,
Speaker 1: obviously we've made that normal. But he went, what I said, Ah,
Speaker 1: my mate got it done a few while ago, and
Speaker 1: he sent me a recording of him and he was like,
Speaker 1: why would he do that? I said, oh, that's just
Speaker 1: you know, just shits and giggles whatever, no pun intended.
Speaker 1: And he's like, okay, and I said, but here's one.
Speaker 3: He sent it to me.
Speaker 1: It went for about twenty seconds, my one, and I
Speaker 1: got my phone. Now no no, no, no, no, I don't
Speaker 1: want to hear it, and he goes, my one's are
Speaker 1: only four or five seconds. So I'm concerned that I
Speaker 1: haven't got rid of it all, and I'm going to
Speaker 1: shed all over you. And he's like, you could see
Speaker 1: a laugh.
Speaker 3: Great man.
Speaker 1: He goes, no, it's okay if you have an anything
Speaker 1: for twenty four hours, and it's it's it's fine. You
Speaker 1: won't okay, even if you did. We're not going to
Speaker 1: tell you anyway if you shut over us, because we
Speaker 1: wouldn't do that. And I was like, so I may have.
Speaker 1: I may have shard over him. You wouldn't because I
Speaker 1: wouldn't know.
Speaker 3: Because the.
Speaker 1: Anetheus comes in, Charles, Big Charlie. Big Charlie sits down
Speaker 1: and I said, what are you giving me today, Charlie?
Speaker 1: What are you giving me today to send me into
Speaker 1: La La Land? And he goes, oh, sh don't give
Speaker 1: you the same stuff that Michael Jackson used to take.
Speaker 1: And I was like, oh, beauty, I said, is it
Speaker 1: a full knockout? And he goes, it's a sedative, so
Speaker 1: you might still be awake and you might hear voices,
Speaker 1: but you're not going to be really with it. I
Speaker 1: was like, oh, okay, anyway, they deliver it to me.
Speaker 1: First of all, that you know, they take you in
Speaker 1: there and they they hook you up to IV and
Speaker 1: everything and put the monitors on you, and then they
Speaker 1: say roll on your side and then knees to the
Speaker 1: chest and that's the vulnerable part when you're in the
Speaker 1: fetal And then I just passed out and then I
Speaker 1: wake up in the recovery room. Yeah, right, nothing. I
Speaker 1: wasn't wasn't talking. I was just out to it. And
Speaker 1: I was like, if Michael Jackson was taking these recreationally,
Speaker 1: no wonder his heart said, fuck.
Speaker 3: You had stopped.
Speaker 4: It's it's like blackout drugs. But it feels so good.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, you feel so happy. You could see why
Speaker 4: if you're Michael Jackson. If you're Michael Jackson's doctor, and
Speaker 4: you know he's so famous and powerful and you're stoked
Speaker 4: to be his doctor, you don't want to lose the job.
Speaker 4: Michael Jackson really wants those drugs, because you're not going
Speaker 4: to feel any better than you do when you're on
Speaker 4: those drugs and the doctor goes, oh Christ, I'm going
Speaker 4: to have.
Speaker 3: To give them. Keeps giving them eventually kills them. But
Speaker 3: I can you your life on those drugs, as if
Speaker 3: there's no problems. Oh it was.
Speaker 1: Yeah, anyway, if that's not a recreational drug I'm going
Speaker 1: to get.
Speaker 3: Into that would be the end of it. No wonder,
Speaker 3: it's a problem. Yeah, that's the end of it. There's
Speaker 3: the end of you bothering to be do anything ever
Speaker 3: again in your life. Yeah, you just end up in
Speaker 3: a small room with nothing on the walls. Just like
Speaker 3: a mattress in the corner and a small sheet and
Speaker 3: feces everywhere there, so you'd end up and you'd be happy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So apologies to doctor Luigi Sisman. If I did
Speaker 1: sit all over your great.
Speaker 3: Name, you took it like a man, Luigi Susman. Yeah,
Speaker 3: you took it like a man.
Speaker 1: Great name, I bet like, and I'm not serious, just
Speaker 1: get it. That was the easiest thing you ever done.
Speaker 1: You don't have to eat twenty four hours, big deal.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And Dihine would said, you know, like they reckon
Speaker 3: if everyone got that screening done, you know at thirty,
Speaker 3: which isn't isn't really the time you need to do it.
Speaker 3: But if you everyone got it thirty, they reckon, they
Speaker 3: would get rid of most of belk.
Speaker 1: Yeah, cancer, it's fifty, I think is when you should
Speaker 1: definitely get it done.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but like you know, as soon as you're worried
Speaker 3: or as soon as you have anything to look at,
Speaker 3: then just do it, because I mean not doing it,
Speaker 3: the potential sult of not doing it is so much
Speaker 3: bigger than the annoyance and the difficulty of getting it done,
Speaker 3: and also the peace of mind you get from getting
Speaker 3: it done. Totally.
Speaker 1: And also the great comedy you can get from seeing
Speaker 1: your mane it's the audio clippings of you doing bumweees.
Speaker 3: That's great. Yeah, And if you've got any of that,
Speaker 3: then send it through to the talkback Faction on your
Speaker 3: iHeartRadio app and like, we'd love to hear your bumbwees
Speaker 3: on the Agenda podcast.
Speaker 1: We've been down this road, unfortunately, we have when people
Speaker 1: were sending them from showers and then we said, it's
Speaker 1: just a matter of time before someone's doing it dumb,
Speaker 1: and sure enough someone was like, yeah, you get a
Speaker 1: it's anyway, let's get into let's get into support. Last
Speaker 1: night was State of O State versus State, Mate versus Mate.
Speaker 1: One thing to come out of it murder. There was
Speaker 1: a murder seven minutes early.
Speaker 3: On Murder and a man we used to love that
Speaker 3: we don't love now.
Speaker 1: Joseph solely within seven minutes on Debut ripped the head,
Speaker 1: the beautiful manicured head of Reese Walschoff. And you know what,
Speaker 1: ten years ago when Mark Guy or fifteen twenty years ago,
Speaker 1: when Mark Guy was beating the crap out of Wally
Speaker 1: Lewis would.
Speaker 3: Have been play on.
Speaker 1: Yeah, not today, ladies and gentlemen. Not today. He got
Speaker 1: sent off. But there was a great video stream from
Speaker 1: the guys from Hello Sport who do his watch alongs,
Speaker 1: and this is their reaction to the head high him.
Speaker 1: I mean, don't read him, don't read he's he's been
Speaker 1: a thousand.
Speaker 3: Ready, Oh my.
Speaker 4: Fuck off?
Speaker 2: You're serious?
Speaker 3: Oh my god?
Speaker 1: It was Accidental's gone soft gone So I love that.
Speaker 1: I wasie Game's gone soft.
Speaker 3: The lovely respuls that we loved. And then I hated
Speaker 3: him so much when the Broncos knocked us out where
Speaker 3: he was out. Hated him so much, loved him so much,
Speaker 3: hated him so so much. But did you see that
Speaker 3: interview with him afterwards, and you know he's saying it
Speaker 3: wasn't too bad, but he didn't seem able to remember
Speaker 3: what had happened. It was a little bit foggy for him.
Speaker 1: This is great, This is ruggble because he got he
Speaker 1: passed his HIA. Yeah, so he got knock the f
Speaker 1: out like a massive shoulder to the head passes HIA.
Speaker 1: But since it was a Category one tackle he had,
Speaker 1: he wasn't allowed to come back on even.
Speaker 3: Though it passes HIA. So great to see that that's.
Speaker 1: Going to add a little bit of neggle to the
Speaker 1: next game.
Speaker 3: It certainly is, but I mean, I'm not saying it's intentional.
Speaker 3: He did sort of slip a bit low. But you've
Speaker 3: got to say it was a pyric victory for New
Speaker 3: South Wales because in there, down down a man for
Speaker 3: the whole of the game seven minutes, take a guy's
Speaker 3: hit off.
Speaker 1: But there at least they're alad thirteen New south Wales
Speaker 1: down to twelve. Yeah, for the rest of the game.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, But that's what from the point of view
Speaker 3: of New South Wales. You've you've got this, but you
Speaker 3: now you're playing the game for twelve, so you may
Speaker 3: have enforced some kind.
Speaker 1: Of Do you think that was the they didn't think
Speaker 1: they actually targeted Resworld.
Speaker 3: I don't think so, because he would have had to
Speaker 3: have slipped a bit lower to hit him the way
Speaker 3: he hit him. I mean, he didn't lead.
Speaker 1: With the shoulder he was he was going down. I
Speaker 1: reckon going down.
Speaker 3: I don't know would you would you be able to
Speaker 3: get someone on debut in to go, Okay, mat, I've
Speaker 3: got to take one for the you got to take
Speaker 3: one for the team. Well, you've got to take reswols
Speaker 3: just I can eat off of the first ten. It's
Speaker 3: like it's a terrible strategy.
Speaker 1: Well, have you heard a great, famous story that gets
Speaker 1: retold and retold about Peter Faddy Alofah. Yeah, his first
Speaker 1: when he played for Auckland MPC team and he was
Speaker 1: you know, he was fresh into New Zealand. He didn't
Speaker 1: speak a lot of English. Peter Fuddy loafa. And at halftime,
Speaker 1: the coach apparently well being John Hard or someone like,
Speaker 1: got Peter Fuddy a lofa in the corner and said,
Speaker 1: you are the biggest guy on the field. I need
Speaker 1: you to get ferocious. I need you to go out
Speaker 1: there and get ferocious. Okay, And he's like, you know, yes,
Speaker 1: boss whatever, Yeah, And he goes out and plays an
Speaker 1: absolute blinder of a second half. And then the changing room,
Speaker 1: you know, the coach Pats one of everyone goes, mate,
Speaker 1: Fats had awesome game. And then he pulled the coach
Speaker 1: aside and he's like, I think he coached, but he goes,
Speaker 1: who is ferocious?
Speaker 3: That's good story. That's a great that's a good story.
Speaker 3: You got a story like that, it'll get you through
Speaker 3: a lot of rugby charity lunches.
Speaker 1: Absolutely on that. Yeah, so yeah, that was that was
Speaker 1: Peter fans anyway. I mean Queensland absolutely humped them a
Speaker 1: record score thirty eight points to ten blue all sorts
Speaker 1: of records out of the water, old, poor old die.
Speaker 1: Henwin News a New South Wales fan had to call
Speaker 1: it last night on skys Night.
Speaker 3: He sounded he said it broken at the end of that.
Speaker 3: I'll tell you what respect to Ben Hurley because I
Speaker 3: was shooting a TV show with him yes out in
Speaker 3: Henderson until I think we finished up shooting at ten
Speaker 3: past ten. I get home and he hasn't gone home.
Speaker 1: He went straight here.
Speaker 3: He came straight here and jumped on the mic.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well he was, he was, so what's going on?
Speaker 1: He thought things would be over by them because he
Speaker 1: committed to it. And then last night yesterday sent me
Speaker 1: a panic text saying I'm doing some shooting out in Henderson.
Speaker 1: We have finished with a half ten. So I said,
Speaker 1: it's okay. The pants man can be sidelined. And I
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, you have seen me commentatory. I could
Speaker 1: probably I can talk for eighty minutes. Yeahout problems, but
Speaker 1: I see that I'd be good. And he said like
Speaker 1: I'll just come straight here for the second half and
Speaker 1: I say, ye're good.
Speaker 3: On you on your being here.
Speaker 1: But he's a big he's a big Queensland man, so
Speaker 1: he come here with a massive heart on.
Speaker 3: He's just been racing in down the motorway with a
Speaker 3: massive heart on it one hundred and forty k to
Speaker 3: get to the studio to make the guy wear it.
Speaker 1: Do you think that that's a defense in court if
Speaker 1: you get done speeding one hundred and forty k. I
Speaker 1: was hard.
Speaker 3: It was hard for the Maroon. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I couldn't control myself. It's like I can't control that
Speaker 1: and I can't control my foot when I'm the.
Speaker 3: Good guy on this, I've just been shooting a TV
Speaker 3: showed at ten thirty. I'm the good guy here. I'm
Speaker 3: trying to get in to do a bloody commentary for
Speaker 3: the State of o May. I'm not the villain here
Speaker 3: and my down is he Australian as my I don't
Speaker 3: know if as your doubt. I know for a fact
Speaker 3: that Ben Hooley's downstairs is connected to his right foot.
Speaker 3: Yeah it is, And so when he's hard, the right
Speaker 3: foot tenses and goes forward, so he's accelerating fully hard. Yeah,
Speaker 3: he's a victim in this. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Anyway, we'll take a quick break here and we'll be
Speaker 1: back with some sports washing and some T twenty World
Speaker 1: Cup action. Okay, sports washing. Matt Heath and I Stewart
Speaker 1: and I have said, bring on the washing. We're filthy.
Speaker 1: We need to be washed. When someone from the middle
Speaker 1: is going to take over the small podcast niche world
Speaker 1: of the gender, and we'll happily do it from read well,
Speaker 1: how we'll do it from Doha.
Speaker 3: I'm in wash Us. I didn't give a shit about atrocities.
Speaker 3: I've got flies all around me. I don't care.
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's do it. I'll ban my wife from driving
Speaker 1: all that. Oh we're a burker, Yeah, burker, lurker, all
Speaker 1: the whole lot.
Speaker 3: Anyway, So one point six billion dollars for some rugger.
Speaker 1: Yes, it's getting close. It's getting close. It's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: It's getting close. So we've asked for it. We've opened
Speaker 1: the door. They're knocking on everyone else's door. We've got
Speaker 1: ours a jar. We're like, come on in.
Speaker 3: Come on. It's brilliant because they just don't piss around.
Speaker 3: I know this has been said a lot. But it's
Speaker 3: just so much money that it doesn't matter if you
Speaker 3: grew at a Thunberg, You're going to take it. You know.
Speaker 3: It's just there's there's that saying, you know, money talks,
Speaker 3: bullshit walks. Yeah, and it's so true. So you you
Speaker 3: come in with something that people could probably pick up
Speaker 3: for one hundred million, yeah, and you go one point
Speaker 3: six billion and they go, well.
Speaker 1: You've just asking price is only a hundred.
Speaker 3: Yeah, one point six billion, we'll do it for one twinter. No,
Speaker 3: we want to give you one point six billion. It's
Speaker 3: so much freakin' money that there's no question the fact
Speaker 3: that it's a country of three hundred thousand who have
Speaker 3: never shown any interest in rugby, No worries, No, it
Speaker 3: doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: Don't care, don't care. So Kitar. They're closing and like
Speaker 1: you said, one point six million dollar deal to host
Speaker 1: billion the billion sorry, rugby's Nations Championship final for eight years.
Speaker 1: So this is the championship they're holding between World Cups. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so and they host it, and I.
Speaker 3: Mean the whole thing, the whole thing is a bit
Speaker 3: of a Rugby World Cup killer.
Speaker 1: Oh absolutely. But also I think there's a part of
Speaker 1: it is the Katari royal family who are responsible for
Speaker 1: all this, in the Katari Investment Fund and all that.
Speaker 1: They're like, hey, we built these stadiums for the FIFA, yeah,
Speaker 1: and like we need to use them. And I was like, wow,
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to get teams over here, so I
Speaker 1: don't care. Just can make it make out like you're
Speaker 1: using them again.
Speaker 3: The amount of money they have, they could fly in
Speaker 3: New Zealand, crowds over there to watch. I could fly
Speaker 3: in twenty thousand kiwis.
Speaker 1: Well, we've got a direct flight from Katar for Eakland,
Speaker 1: so just constantly fly us over there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll go to the games.
Speaker 1: Just move us over there.
Speaker 3: We don't give a shit.
Speaker 1: Move Move one hundred thousand all Blacks fans to Doha. Yah,
Speaker 1: put them up in a village. Yeah, they can talk
Speaker 1: about code and put scrumbs down at night and it
Speaker 1: looks bloody great and then go go to the game.
Speaker 3: It's it's a real like because because if you look
Speaker 3: at it's all the six nation teams and it's the
Speaker 3: Sansar teams, and then it's going to be probably Japan
Speaker 3: and Fiji.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Boy, that's that's rough being out in the cold on
Speaker 3: that isn't it if you're if you're if you're out
Speaker 3: of the cold on that tournament, like I don't know
Speaker 3: some more and Tonga and the US, Yeah, Canada, Georgia
Speaker 3: is not in there, so like they're calling it the
Speaker 3: Rugby super Bowl.
Speaker 1: Yeah, which what happens? I think that they said that
Speaker 1: they would host the finals of it, so I think
Speaker 1: they have it for a week and then they have
Speaker 1: the semis there and the final, but the preliminary games
Speaker 1: are still played around the world to kind of a
Speaker 1: champions League type thing, and it's just always guitar. I'm going,
Speaker 1: I'm going to super Bowl. I'm going.
Speaker 3: They need to call it something else. So when's the
Speaker 3: first one? Twenty twenty six?
Speaker 1: Yeah, they need any name for it, though, I can't
Speaker 1: call it super Bowl. What's the good? What's a good
Speaker 1: rugby analogy? The Super Cup?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Instinct, doesn't it? The They have to have super in
Speaker 1: it probably a yeah, the.
Speaker 3: Super scrum, the super vessel, the line out, the ruck,
Speaker 3: the super ruck, the super ruck, the right ruck, your face,
Speaker 3: ruck me, ruck me, ruck me. It's the Super Final.
Speaker 1: Anyway, It's let's see, it'll be called something amazing, like
Speaker 1: the Nation's Championship.
Speaker 3: Cup, but that's rugby is going to be so weird
Speaker 3: now because you know, like the six Nations is that
Speaker 3: we've got the Rugby Championship, We've got this going on,
Speaker 3: We've got the World Cup every four years. It's it's
Speaker 3: it's gonna be interesting, isn't it like.
Speaker 1: It is going to be it's but it's a it's
Speaker 1: gonna be a But we're.
Speaker 3: Also trying to bring in tours as well, so we're
Speaker 3: also on top of that. We also want to a
Speaker 3: four Lions to full Lions tour. A talk of tours,
Speaker 3: tours to New Zealand.
Speaker 1: Again, the Lions are touring next year to Australia.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I didn't know.
Speaker 1: Someone just pointed out to me, but we should target
Speaker 1: Adelaide and I think that maybe the twelfth of July
Speaker 1: next year because it's an ANZAC fifteen versus the Lions
Speaker 1: on a Saturday at the Adelaide Oval. Oh really yeah,
Speaker 1: So that and Adelaide is a good time. That new
Speaker 1: stadium is a good time and it's going to be
Speaker 1: an ANZAC fifteen. It's very made up of one of
Speaker 1: super ruggby players from both sides against the Lions, and
Speaker 1: I was like, shit, yeah, I'm under that.
Speaker 3: Let's do that, let's target that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so look out for the Ultra B tour toad,
Speaker 1: meaning to it to Adelaide. Speaking of which, T twenty
Speaker 1: World Cup has gone underway. It's kind of underway. But
Speaker 1: since we haven't played yet, I don't really care. No,
Speaker 1: so said they said the eleven thirty in the morning.
Speaker 3: We've got the battle that everyone in America is waiting
Speaker 3: for New Zealand versus Afghanistan.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they are. I wonder if the US are playing
Speaker 1: in Afghanistan in America. That would be interesting, wouldn't that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because they've played before but not yet credit No,
Speaker 3: so you know that might be You've been putting your
Speaker 3: money on Afghanistan there, wouldn't you in that particular skirmish, well.
Speaker 1: And any other skuamish. I think they've went eventually, don't they.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they do that that it might you know, it's
Speaker 3: not gonna you know, it wasn't a twenty over contest,
Speaker 3: but they eventually they just held out.
Speaker 1: With So Pakistan smashed Ireland by eight wickets. No one
Speaker 1: really cares because it's a new format here. They're going
Speaker 1: back to the Super Super sixers, so top two teams
Speaker 1: go through to Super Sixers. Then it's like basic knockout
Speaker 1: to the final.
Speaker 3: Do you think there's too many World Cricket World Cups?
Speaker 1: No, you don't, No, I don't.
Speaker 3: I think there's there's been a backup of them.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's been a bit.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: People are confused because fifty over we had last year,
Speaker 1: we had the Aussie one, yeah, because they had been
Speaker 1: delayed from COVID. Yeah, we had India, Australia and this
Speaker 1: one all put into like three years. So people are like,
Speaker 1: why is there so many T twenty Cup? It should
Speaker 1: only be every two years.
Speaker 3: Yeah, right, So that is the idea, but it just
Speaker 3: it's just yeah, it's just COVID and if it moves,
Speaker 3: it all really backs it up, you know, to like
Speaker 3: being under a year three and six. Yeah, whatever day is.
Speaker 3: But it is interesting because even though the fifty over
Speaker 3: game is kind of waning in importance, the fifty over
Speaker 3: World Cup seems to be the real World Cup, and
Speaker 3: the Tea twenty one feels a bit novelty, doesn't it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it does, and it kind of I like the
Speaker 1: fact that the Tea twenty anyone can really win, like
Speaker 1: Western needs have one other couple of times, you know,
Speaker 1: Pakistan and won. You know, people teams teams that, and
Speaker 1: then you look at fifty over Western He's never going
Speaker 1: to win the fifty over again. Ever, I don't think no,
Speaker 1: it's it is true cricket because you can have proper
Speaker 1: cricket players in there. It has ebbs and flows. It's
Speaker 1: a mini Test match. You can lose five wickets and
Speaker 1: be at one hundred, but you can make it back
Speaker 1: and get to twenty, you know. But you lose five
Speaker 1: wickets and two twenty you're gone.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: But I like it in the fact that it's over
Speaker 1: in three and a half weeks. Yeah, so it starts now,
Speaker 1: it's all over the finals in like two and a
Speaker 1: half weeks time.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So I quite like that that it is over and
Speaker 1: it's done because the fifty over takes about eight weeks.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it takes a long time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And then there's the World Test Championship. But I
Speaker 1: don't think any lay person, who person who's not really
Speaker 1: interested in cricket should even worry about the World Test Championship.
Speaker 3: I think that's for cricket nerds like we already won it,
Speaker 3: so it's never.
Speaker 1: But that's one you don't try and don't try and
Speaker 1: explain the World Test Championship to someone just getting into cricket.
Speaker 3: Yeah, don't bother, just say like that. It's nice. I
Speaker 3: saw it an onion you know, an onion post and
Speaker 3: it was like, you know, the American satorical newspaper, and
Speaker 3: it's seed to excite fans. Cricket shortened to seven days,
Speaker 3: seven day games because the Americans don't understand it at all.
Speaker 3: They're like, I don't understand that they're not playing the
Speaker 3: Test version of it. Yeah, playing the T twenty vision. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it's confused. There's a lot of people over there just
Speaker 3: sit down and there scratching the head because they would have.
Speaker 1: Been like, I thought this was a five day game.
Speaker 1: It's only three hours now.
Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, this one day ones and there's
Speaker 3: T twenty ones. It's like, oh my god. You know
Speaker 3: they don't do that with baseball, do they. They don't
Speaker 3: do it with the But that's what we do with
Speaker 3: our sports, don't we. Because we got like league, rugby,
Speaker 3: union seven sevens, and then you bring in Australia, you've
Speaker 3: got the A F l you know, we just divide
Speaker 3: it up, divided the audiences, that divide the audiences, you know,
Speaker 3: split it all up.
Speaker 1: So the Aussies take on Oman today. Iman Oman actually
Speaker 1: aren't too bad. Is quite a big Indian expect in
Speaker 1: Southeast Asian expect population in Oman. So they'll go all right,
Speaker 1: you'll p and g turned up, didn't they. Yeah, there's
Speaker 1: some teams in there that I'm like, U Gander. I mean,
Speaker 1: I didn't know how much crickit's played in Uganda, but
Speaker 1: obviously doing it for a reason. T twenty you can
Speaker 1: expand it to you twenty teams and it's okay, so
Speaker 1: good on them. But it all kicks off for New
Speaker 1: Zealand on Saturday. It's a super Saturday because we've got
Speaker 1: eleven thirty New Zealand Afghanistan Skysport nine. We're commentating that.
Speaker 1: I think it's me yourself and Lee Baker. Oh what
Speaker 1: a team doing that one, and then straight into Super
Speaker 1: Rugba at four o'clock and then seven thirty and then
Speaker 1: the Warriors now seventh sorry and then Warriors at seven thirty.
Speaker 3: So it's a super sety. Yeah, I'm not sure I'm
Speaker 3: going to get because I'm off to Eden Park to
Speaker 3: watch the Blues and I'm like, you're going to have
Speaker 3: I'm gonna have to complete radio silence on the Warriors
Speaker 3: or just have the Warriors up on the What I
Speaker 3: did on your on your phone or something in the
Speaker 3: box the TV over to the Phoenix when you're in
Speaker 3: the box in the box, I know, but there was
Speaker 3: people like, you can't be sitting here watching soccer, mate,
Speaker 3: you're in the box at Eton Park for the footy.
Speaker 3: But you know, wow, you can. I mean people say
Speaker 3: you can't, but I did. Yeah, so what do you
Speaker 3: mean you can't?
Speaker 5: Right?
Speaker 1: NBA Finals they kick off Friday, the Celtics versus the MAVs.
Speaker 1: You're following much yet, I say, Tolmy and I Stuart.
Speaker 1: It's about now I get interested in the NBA same.
Speaker 1: So there's so many meaningless games.
Speaker 3: It goes for so long. There's thousands of games that
Speaker 3: everyone knows doesn't count, and then you get to this
Speaker 3: point and then even only just starts to heat up. Now.
Speaker 3: But but this is where this is, This is when
Speaker 3: you joined basketball answers. This is the bandwagon. Jump on now.
Speaker 3: Absolutely it is the bandwagon.
Speaker 1: I'm torn actually because I love Boston Celtics, and I
Speaker 1: love defans. I love how rugged the fans are and
Speaker 1: they tune up with those big gold necklaces and they're
Speaker 1: just absolute mutants. But I also love the MAVs because
Speaker 1: I quite like Luka Doncic. I quite like the fact
Speaker 1: that he carves up. He's very unassuming kind of people.
Speaker 1: A lot of people hate him, but I quite like him. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so I'm a bit torn.
Speaker 3: I listened to Bill Burr and Bill Simmons, so like,
Speaker 3: I'm very I'm very down the Boston hole. Oh okay, yeah,
Speaker 3: you're fully invested in the Celtics. Plus I had a
Speaker 3: pair of Larry Bird socks when I was growing up.
Speaker 1: Did they go all the way Yeah?
Speaker 3: All the way up?
Speaker 1: And I was very happy with those socks. So you know,
Speaker 1: that was a very bird. Just looking back at footage
Speaker 1: of Larry Bird, what is going on there?
Speaker 3: Like terrible looking human being so good though, so good, but.
Speaker 1: Just unusual and all in all shapes. And the thing
Speaker 1: is he looked like a bird. He looked like he
Speaker 1: looked like a bird. He looked like big bird off
Speaker 1: Sesame Street.
Speaker 3: That was confusing as a child that looked like a
Speaker 3: bird or so that he plays in slow motion. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: it looks like it highlights real Yeah. Yeah, it's a
Speaker 3: bit like joke it she's looking at that. He's he
Speaker 3: plays in slow mo. He's very he's just in a
Speaker 3: similar mold.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So that kicks off on Friday. So at the moment,
Speaker 1: I look at the wall at the odds tomorrow with
Speaker 1: our sports book on that because heaps and money, loads
Speaker 1: of money coming on the NBA with the tab. So
Speaker 1: we'll have a look at the odds tomorrow. But for now,
Speaker 1: let's take a quick break because we've got some more
Speaker 1: yours pleases are coming hopefully none with loose stools.
Speaker 3: Yeah ways, yet they'll be coming in on Monday, yeah tomorrow. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So yeah, we're back with yours please, yours please, brought
Speaker 1: you by Leader Home of the Right, but of yours please,
Speaker 1: but a feedback. We love the feedback that comes in
Speaker 1: through our talkback function little microphone on your ihet app.
Speaker 1: If you are listening on iHeart. If you're not listening
Speaker 1: on iHeart, that's cool, we still love you. But if
Speaker 1: you want to switch over to our iHeart, you can
Speaker 1: actually use this function and send us often abusive messages.
Speaker 1: Call it yours please good.
Speaker 5: Oh boys, Crispy Cock here, don't worry, the lights are on.
Speaker 5: Just sick thoughts on the Crusaders for since they haven't
Speaker 5: made the finals, to jump the cook straight and support
Speaker 5: the Hurricanes to big if you middle finger to Auckland
Speaker 5: because if they would have won, Aucklands would be unbearable
Speaker 5: for the next year anyway.
Speaker 3: Who wrote good insights? Krispy Cox.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Krispy Coxs got interesting there. I mean, I'm quite
Speaker 1: interestried the Crusaders fans, to be honest with you, they've
Speaker 1: been pretty quiet. They have been very quiet and a
Speaker 1: little humble.
Speaker 3: They have actually a little humble, like I work with
Speaker 3: one every day, Mash Yeah and he and he's just
Speaker 3: a little They've had just an orgy of riches for
Speaker 3: so long. You know, it's it's not quite the same.
Speaker 3: It's not like it's not like a lifetime of heartache,
Speaker 3: you know. So they this is a little bit of
Speaker 3: heartache for them, but the heartache, but you know what
Speaker 3: I mean, it's not but I would imagine being an
Speaker 3: Otago fan going up against Canterbury your whole life. Yeah
Speaker 3: that's heartache, Yes, that's real heartache. Just just absolutely creaming
Speaker 3: it for years and years and years, years and years
Speaker 3: and then having a shitter. That's not proper heartache.
Speaker 1: What what I'll ask you is you're obviously you're a
Speaker 1: blue Lander, You're born in the South. She's roll in
Speaker 1: your mouth.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Although interestingly, had Jeff Wilson on the show and
Speaker 3: I was full Lander when he was in oh when
Speaker 3: he was in there and mentioned the Blues.
Speaker 1: Who are the Crusaders fans second favorite team? Is it
Speaker 1: the Highlanders? Surely the Mainlanders?
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know if it is, so it must be
Speaker 1: the Canes then, because it's certainly not.
Speaker 3: I just get the feeling they're not like that because
Speaker 3: everyone else in the country's second favorite team is the Highlanders. Yeah, absolutely, yeah,
Speaker 3: everyone loves them. But Canterbury. I'd love to hear this
Speaker 3: because Cannabrey, because you know, like growing up down there,
Speaker 3: Canterbury just does not rate a target at all. They
Speaker 3: just think it's a poohole and they rub it in
Speaker 3: all the time. And I just think that's they just
Speaker 3: wouldn't even look that. There's such assholes that they don't
Speaker 3: even look south. They look north, right, they look north.
Speaker 3: All their all their hatred is North. They just hate Auckland.
Speaker 3: In fact, they don't even They look over Wellington and
Speaker 3: hate Auckland, but I just don't think they even acknowledge South.
Speaker 1: So you reckon that. Crispy Cock's onto something here. The
Speaker 1: re Reckons, the Crusaders fan base just focus laser in
Speaker 1: onto the Hurricanes.
Speaker 3: I think I think that would be. I think that's
Speaker 3: more likely than them than them supporting the Highlanders, to
Speaker 3: be fair.
Speaker 1: Because there's no way the Chiefs will Blue, so there's
Speaker 1: no you can they pretty much lump those two regions.
Speaker 1: Anything north of Topoor, yeah, forget about that's it could
Speaker 1: be Auckland. It could be like Otto, who is disgusting.
Speaker 1: Yeah to them, they revolted by it, So not a
Speaker 1: bad And obviously he said, if the Blues win, you'll
Speaker 1: cry about it. Of course I'll cry about it because
Speaker 1: they haven't won it and so many so with the Chiefs. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and so will the so will the Hurricanes. They will
Speaker 1: be unbearable. My Hurricanes makes they're going to be unbearable.
Speaker 3: But will people say it's a win with an esterix
Speaker 3: because the Crusaders didn't make playoffs, so it's a win
Speaker 3: with an estis. Have you one of this you've beaten.
Speaker 1: That's the kind of thing that I asure because he's
Speaker 1: always goes on about the members super rugby out here
Speaker 1: districts one where the Blues and Crusaders din't even played
Speaker 1: each other during round robin and the Blues won it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: still crows on about that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I think that's I think the Crusaders are
Speaker 3: kind of running a low key line that this is
Speaker 3: how arrogant they are the Crusaders fans that they're like,
Speaker 3: because we didn't make it, this isn't into the playoffs,
Speaker 3: that you haven't really been tested in the playoffs.
Speaker 1: That's can agree? Okay, next one yours please?
Speaker 6: With the T twenty World Cup looming this coming Saturday,
Speaker 6: I'd just like to start the conversation far early, can
Speaker 6: Joe Jo? Can you please make sure that Gilane's passport
Speaker 6: is confiscated and hidden? Yeah, so he has no particular
Speaker 6: way at all getting over to the West Indies. We
Speaker 6: don't need that man at the final if anything was
Speaker 6: your needs, we need a little bit.
Speaker 3: Of Black Caps glory.
Speaker 1: Come on, Jess Fox, South Canterbury.
Speaker 3: Yeah, what was that?
Speaker 1: Was that a bell movement at the end or did
Speaker 1: he just kick a can or was a bell movement.
Speaker 3: It was a break that dropped out of there anyway. Yeah,
Speaker 3: so do we know where the if they picked with
Speaker 3: the what was going to be played?
Speaker 1: I think it's in Barbados, at.
Speaker 3: Barbados Lord's Imitation Stadium. I love it.
Speaker 1: I think it's Barbados. See me, I'll quickly I'll quickly
Speaker 1: search this up because I have been to Barbados before
Speaker 1: in a ill advised trip to watch the fifty over
Speaker 1: Cricket World Cup Final when I booked it when I
Speaker 1: thought we were going to win the semi against Ri
Speaker 1: Lanka and I ended up watching US Australia plays Sri
Speaker 1: Lanka in the final and I got mugged. I woke
Speaker 1: up on a beach with my belongings. So it was
Speaker 1: a great trip all round.
Speaker 3: So was there a hangout your eight? I don't know.
Speaker 1: I can't remember. I cannot remember. It was interesting thing
Speaker 1: to forget. It was a big night.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Right, let's look at the final. The final as on
Speaker 1: during the thirtieth it is in. It doesn't say, it
Speaker 1: does not say, but I'm picking it's going to be
Speaker 1: either Barbados or Trinidad. Yeah, so look, if we make
Speaker 1: the final.
Speaker 3: It's a tradition.
Speaker 1: I have to go. So if we make the final,
Speaker 1: I am going I need to break this curse, and
Speaker 1: there's only one way of doing it, and that is
Speaker 1: attending more games.
Speaker 3: How many until we win arts? Will you break on
Speaker 3: your way to breaking the curse? Though?
Speaker 1: That's as many as I need to, as many as
Speaker 1: I need to.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's just a fact.
Speaker 1: Is any way I'm going to break it. Otherwise, what
Speaker 1: am I going to do? Just sit at home and
Speaker 1: get colonoscopies every Monday?
Speaker 3: Yeah, well I could do that. Well. I'm in an
Speaker 3: interesting situation with the pen on War situation because I've
Speaker 3: drunk right through and now we're in a good record.
Speaker 1: Keep going.
Speaker 3: So I got two, I got the three. It's actually
Speaker 3: looking pretty good now, the pen on War record, it's
Speaker 3: actually even out. But we really need to do something
Speaker 3: good against the cab.
Speaker 1: You've got the reverse Cowgirls on Saturday. You should win
Speaker 1: that back to full strength. We'll discuss that tomorrow. But
Speaker 1: like you're gonna lean into the pin and one, I
Speaker 1: can you just give the finger to the pen and Ones.
Speaker 1: Now you've got people like Manie Due who get upset
Speaker 1: about it.
Speaker 3: You know, it's funny when when I staid on the
Speaker 3: very day that he really ripped into me and I
Speaker 3: had a low serratone that day, there was a no
Speaker 3: state to deal with it. I had been a biggie
Speaker 3: big weekend. I had nothing emotionally in the tank and
Speaker 3: the last bit of emotion if you always make things
Speaker 3: about you. And then the very next minute, he posted
Speaker 3: a picture of himself who was retiring. Ah, it was
Speaker 3: the final game for God damn it, I can't remember.
Speaker 3: And and and I posted a picture himself on the
Speaker 3: acc himself photoshopped into a picture of a player retiring.
Speaker 3: Just find it.
Speaker 1: And I was like, damn it, God, damn it, damn it,
Speaker 1: You're gonna let you back in there. I'm gonna lean
Speaker 1: into the curse. And then if people can say the
Speaker 1: high bat passports, I'm just going to tell that caller
Speaker 1: of it, you've got two passports.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's right. You've got to ask you. We've
Speaker 3: got to fight back against these people because they you
Speaker 3: stick your head up and they try and blame We
Speaker 3: can't be one of those countries that that that slams initiatives,
Speaker 3: you know, and your initiative and your you know your
Speaker 3: gumption and your key we battler spirit to get over
Speaker 3: to these games. It needs to be respected. It may
Speaker 3: scuttle the game, that's fine. Oh look, it's not easy
Speaker 3: to the way you risk your marriage in year out
Speaker 3: to support the teams you love.
Speaker 1: No one mentions that.
Speaker 3: No one mentions the sacrifice that grim Lane's making. No
Speaker 3: one mentions that the absolute carnage that has been committed
Speaker 3: in your bank accounts. Absolutely, the amount of unhappy shrips
Speaker 3: have been piled on your already gigantic mortgage.
Speaker 1: The amount of revenge purchases that come from my wife
Speaker 1: untold amount of financial.
Speaker 3: About that, And they don't get a shit about me
Speaker 3: arriving to work on a bloody Monday morning to do
Speaker 3: the Mattagery breakfast Shire with a raging red wine hangover,
Speaker 3: no no serotonin because I can't stop if I have
Speaker 3: two glasses of anything, I'm in for the night. No
Speaker 3: one thinks about that. No one thinks about our freaking
Speaker 3: sacrifice that we make for these stupid things we do.
Speaker 3: So how about a bit of goddamn support out there, exactly,
Speaker 3: sporting community, you know, Yeah, Fox South Canterbury, Yeah, Fux
Speaker 3: South Canbury. That's one.
Speaker 1: Yours please yours please.
Speaker 7: You get a long time listen, my first time caller,
Speaker 7: just catching up on some episodes after being over in
Speaker 7: Germany doing a rikie for the pub Caral this year
Speaker 7: and on the all Back suite. Do you think they'd
Speaker 7: have an Ellie Williams consume service where you can, you know,
Speaker 7: go down and ask when Ellie Williams and someone will
Speaker 7: show up with some of the Parisian sneezing powder.
Speaker 1: Just a thought. That's the good, that's the that's referring
Speaker 1: back to when we discussed the All Blacks Hotel that
Speaker 1: has been mooted for the Key Park and the fact
Speaker 1: that if it's going to be All Blacks Hotel, I'm
Speaker 1: expecting offer Tom with Fussy on the door. I want
Speaker 1: Aaron Smith as the bell hop. I want being from
Speaker 1: accounts in the back office. And this is referring to
Speaker 1: obviously Ali Williams and the and the Beggy oh yeah,
Speaker 1: and the Beggy situation sort of like a beggy bell boy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so you could ass a room service. I'm just bring
Speaker 1: out Ali Williams and King for a qing for a
Speaker 1: Beggy and it gets a livered to your room. But
Speaker 1: I think it the only way you can have an
Speaker 1: all blacks hotel as if fully lean into it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you've got former all blacks in, they're doing jobs. Otherwise
Speaker 1: it's just.
Speaker 3: Going to be a right cleaning the toilet.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you got John Gallagher, he's buying the bar, mixing cocktails, smoking,
Speaker 1: Joe Stanley, he would run it.
Speaker 3: David Kirk. David Kirk would be the running what's the
Speaker 3: top the top job at a hotel at.
Speaker 1: Very successful businessman obviously David Kirk, maybe David Cook maybe
Speaker 1: still on the board. Yeah, yep, a board of directors.
Speaker 1: But you know i'd have Tane Randall running the joint.
Speaker 3: Seawan's fit Patrick you might want to have in some
Speaker 3: kind of leadership role. Yeah.
Speaker 1: They have Norm Hewitt behind the bar as well, mixing
Speaker 1: cocktails and put and you know if you lock yourself
Speaker 1: out of your room, you'll smash in the ranch slader
Speaker 1: and get you in.
Speaker 3: Norm Hewitt. Yeah, yeah, yep, yep, I think we can
Speaker 3: still get him.
Speaker 1: I mean behind the desk. You probably want some good
Speaker 1: lookers behind the desk just to welcome guests.
Speaker 3: Spencer con situation.
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, Carlos, you're probably talking who's the dream boat
Speaker 1: that James mcconey's in love with for my chief Richard Richard.
Speaker 1: You want Richard car And yeah, and I mean obviously
Speaker 1: you want Ruben Love there as well. And imagine that.
Speaker 1: Imagine people will be queuing out the door.
Speaker 3: To check in. You got room for Dan Carter in there?
Speaker 1: Yeah, potentially maybe, I don't know, work in the rooms.
Speaker 3: I can see Kieren Reid running a bar. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 3: running running.
Speaker 1: Someone who's ran the buffet Ian Foster.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I Steve Hanson. You have Steve Hanson, and you
Speaker 3: know you want people that are x buffet experts. You
Speaker 3: I'd love, I'd love the ad for it, and we've got.
Speaker 1: You have choices. You have choices. You can go to
Speaker 1: the Hanson or the Foster.
Speaker 3: The Henson Foster, the biggest buffet in Auckland, in Auckland.
Speaker 1: Anyway, that was a good sush. Yeah, I mean yeah,
Speaker 1: you could beggar from it. If anyway, like that's a
Speaker 1: shame that'll never have The hotel will never happen. But
Speaker 1: if it does, maybe we should build that fantasy hotel.
Speaker 1: So if you think suggest any other all blacks for
Speaker 1: any other jobs within the all black hotel let us
Speaker 1: know on the talkback, we'll slide into the teams, but
Speaker 1: we'll be back tomorrow with another agenda. Also, we'll be
Speaker 1: back tomorrow with the ACC Sports Book, which is on
Speaker 1: a bit of a heater if you got your pens
